15:58

Welcome to Las Vegas for the Call of

16:00

Duty League Championship weekend.

16:07

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to

16:10

the Call of Duty Championship weekend as

16:14

we head into day number two. And it has

16:18

been electric on this stage thus far to

16:21

kick off the weekend where we have had

16:23

the best Call of Duty players all around

16:25

the world here in Las Vegas for all the

16:28

glory to become Call of Duty champions

16:32

and to hoist this trophy. Now, before we

16:35

get today kicked off, Las Vegas, I see

16:38

you guys coming out here in Mandalay Bay

16:40

to have a good time. You guys ready to

16:41

get the day kicked off?

16:45

Now, before we do that, we got to honor

16:47

two players in our league who have shown

16:50

time and time again that they have what

16:53

it takes to be champions. And just a

16:56

year ago, there was a player watching

16:58

from home asking how can he come to the

17:00

stage and make a statement in this

17:03

league to prove that he has what it

17:05

takes to be amongst the best. And it's

17:09

time to honor that player. Now, without

17:11

further ado, show some love to your

17:13

major three champion and your scuff 2020

17:17

2026 Rookie of the Year, Neam

17:30

Ladies and gentlemen, get loud for Neil

17:32

of the LA

17:34

as he has earned the honors of being

17:38

your scuff rookie of the year for the

17:41

2026 season. I mean, Neam, as I was

17:46

talking about, you know, just a year

17:48

ago, can you recall where you was when

17:51

you were watching Champs, thinking to

17:53

yourself, how amazing would it be to be

17:55

on this stage?

17:56

>> I was playing at Challenger Champs uh in

17:58

Kitchener Toronto playing with um the

18:01

Stallions under Zumba.

18:03

>> Yeah.

18:04

And going from there to being on this

18:07

Steve squad, talk to me about some of

18:10

the hurdles you had to overcome and how

18:12

this organization has helped you become

18:14

the rookie of the year.

18:15

>> Um, I just think it's just a lot of like

18:17

up and downs just being in the league.

18:19

Um, you're playing at the highest level.

18:21

You always have to go hard. Your

18:22

teammates going to make sure you're

18:24

going hard. Everybody under the organ

18:25

organization going to make you go hard.

18:27

So, it just makes myself just go even

18:29

harder. going even harder on the main

18:32

stage, pushing past your limits and to

18:34

be able to reach this pinnacle here in

18:37

the league and to be able to get honored

18:39

amongst everybody. I know it feels so

18:41

good and you even got your family in the

18:43

crowd. Okay. I got to meet your mom

18:45

towards the uh event that you won and

18:48

you know I know she is so proud to be

18:50

able to see you and everything in which

18:52

you accomplished. How does it feel to do

18:54

this in front of your family?

18:55

>> It feels amazing. Um, I always wanted to

18:57

do this and I told them when I was like

18:58

a little kid, I always want to be a

19:00

gamer and I finally able to do it.

19:03

>> Finally able to do it. And lastly, I

19:05

want to say to all the other gamers out

19:07

there, okay, who may be our rookie of

19:10

the year for the 2027 season, what would

19:12

you tell them out there?

19:14

19:16

19:27

Every season brings a new class, new

19:29

names, new expectations, new players

19:32

hoping to prove they belong. And the

19:34

league doesn't slow down for newcomers.

19:37

After years of climbing the ladder in

19:39

challenges, Neam is your 2026 Call of

19:42

Duty League Rookie of the Year.

19:47

After recording a whopping 1.24 24 KD in

19:50

the challengers bracket at the 2026 CDL

19:52

Dallas Open. Ne was quickly picked up by

19:54

the LA Thieves and hit the ground

19:56

running.

19:58

Ne started his CDL career with a 4-0

20:01

match streak, making him only the third

20:03

player in CDL history to achieve this

20:05

feat, but the road to victory was tough

20:07

in Birmingham for major 2. And although

20:10

the Thieves only placed fourth at their

20:11

first major with Neam, the rookie still

20:14

posted a 1.02 02 KD and showed that he

20:17

could compete at the highest level.

20:20

Things turned around for Major 3 in

20:22

Atlanta as the team found their rhythm.

20:24

After an early setback, Neam and the

20:26

Thieves battled their way back from the

20:27

lower bracket to defeat Uptic Texas 43

20:30

in the grand final and be crowned

20:32

tournament champions.

20:35

>> In this victory run, Neam posted a team

20:37

high 1.11 KD. From it, Ne finding his

20:41

time over the top. What a goal. The dunk

20:45

>> major four in Paris brought the LA

20:47

Thieves and Optic Texas back together in

20:49

the grand finals, but the Thieves

20:51

ultimately fell 34, but cemented Neam

20:54

and the LA Thieves as top contenders.

20:57

Neam is a star in the making. He has

21:00

shown that he will be a top contender in

21:02

the Call of Duty League for years to

21:04

come. Congratulations to your 2026

21:08

Rookie of the Year, Liam.

21:11

>> See you now. Well, rookie of the year,

21:14

man.

21:15

>> Come on, kid.

21:18

>> Welld deserved for Neil. But now it is

21:21

time to honor our MVP throughout the

21:23

entire 2026 season. And this player has

21:28

personified what it means to be a

21:30

professional in our league. The man who

21:33

is first to the fight. The man who is

21:36

the most lethal and the most reliable

21:38

teammate you can count on. Get ready to

21:41

show some love to your backto back

21:44

season MVP, Scrap.

21:57

Scrap. Give it one more time for Scrap.

21:59

Everybody,

22:02

he has brought you guys so much joy in

22:05

so many series. Scrap, we have seen your

22:09

consistency throughout the last few

22:12

years of you entering a league to become

22:14

a back-to- back season MVP. It says a

22:18

lot about you cuz when I interviewed you

22:19

last year on the stage, you said that

22:21

the goal is to become a champion and you

22:24

have not taken a step back. You've only

22:26

moved forward. How is it that you are

22:28

this consistent to dominate this league

22:31

yet another year?

22:32

>> Uh yeah, I'm just on bros. Like

22:35

come on now. I'm just playing the game

22:37

that I grew up playing. I love playing

22:39

COD. That's what gave me my whole

22:41

career. That's what gave me my life. And

22:42

uh I just I'm appreciative of it.

22:44

>> I mean, we're so appreciative of you and

22:47

the plays you've made, how you have been

22:49

a representative of our league, you

22:51

know, you know, talking the trash,

22:53

backing it up, shaking the hands, and

22:55

you know, being respectable. How does it

22:57

feel to be able to do this wearing a

22:59

Thieves jersey this year, still in the

23:01

running to bring them yet another

23:02

championship?

23:03

>> Yeah, I mean, it feels good. You know, I

23:05

think the last two years really, you

23:06

know, I only accept one place and it's

23:08

first. So, um, we have a different

23:10

mindset on this team. I know Nate wants

23:12

to see us win all the time and, uh,

23:14

yeah, man, it feels good. It definitely

23:16

feels good. And we got some people in

23:18

the crowd that no matter what you're

23:19

doing, you are always a winner in their

23:22

hearts. You know, your family's out

23:23

here. How does it feel to be able to

23:26

still continue to play in front of them

23:28

and have them cheering in the crowd,

23:29

making it to every event to support you?

23:31

>> Yeah. I mean, shout out my whole family.

23:32

They come to every event. my dad, my

23:34

mom, my brothers are here. They don't

23:36

come to every event, but they're here

23:37

today. Uh yeah, man. I'm appreciative.

23:39

I'm not going to cry this year because,

23:40

you know, it's something else. But, uh

23:42

yeah, no, I love them so much.

23:43

>> Yeah.

23:44

>> You know, I like I said, the job is not

23:46

done, okay? And we know the the type of

23:49

player that you want to be in this

23:51

league. But let's bring in your teammate

23:53

as well because this is dope that we got

23:55

two LA players up in here taking honors

23:58

as two of our best players throughout

24:01

this season. talk to me about what it's

24:02

been like to be able to team with Neam

24:04

and watch his uh progress.

24:05

>> Yeah, I mean he's kind of like the

24:07

second rookie I've teamed with. I team

24:08

with Charlie Hick. He was like kind of

24:10

the first. Um and I won with him as

24:12

well, but when he came in, he kind of

24:14

turned our team around. Um obviously we

24:16

were with Ken, we weren't that great,

24:17

but we weren't good. Uh we weren't

24:19

great. We weren't that bad either, but

24:20

we needed a change and he was a perfect

24:22

fit for us. Um he's been playing great.

24:24

I have no complaints on him. He's a

24:26

confident player in his first year and

24:28

that's all I really asked for. And uh

24:29

obviously we're winning championships

24:30

and hopefully today we turn around.

24:32

>> Hopefully today will be the day indeed.

24:36

Both of you take a take a stand in front

24:38

of the stage and everybody one more time

24:40

show some love to your scuff 2026 Rookie

24:44

of the Year and your backto back season

24:47

MVP Scrap from the LA Thieves.

24:55

Every season has a story. Some are

24:58

written in rivalries, some are written

25:01

in championships, and some are written

25:03

by a single player. For the first time

25:06

in Call of Duty League history, one

25:08

player has earned the league's highest

25:10

individual honor in backto back seasons.

25:13

Your 2026 Call of Duty League most

25:16

valuable player, Scrap.

25:21

Now in just his fourth professional

25:23

season, the AR superstar has proven that

25:26

greatness isn't a moment, it's a

25:29

standard. And after a difficult start

25:31

through the season's first two majors,

25:33

Scrap's leadership never wavered. He

25:35

rallied the Los Angeles Thieves back

25:37

into championship contention, reminding

25:39

everyone why he's one of the games

25:41

defining competitors. At major 3, the

25:43

Thieves battled through the lower

25:45

bracket before defeating Optic Texas in

25:47

a thrilling 43 grand final. Just weeks

25:50

later, they returned to Championship

25:52

Sunday at Major Four. Once again,

25:54

pushing Optic to the limit in another

25:55

unforgettable finals appearance. And

25:58

throughout it all, Scrap continued to

26:00

set the pace. He finished first in the

26:02

league in hardpoint damage per 10

26:04

minutes, first in Search and Destroy,

26:06

opening dual win percentage with an

26:08

incredible 64% win rate, and second in

26:12

the league for overload goals.

26:15

Championships are won by teams. Legacies

26:18

are built by players who redefine what's

26:20

possible. A back-to-back MVP, a

26:23

champion, a leader, and already one of

26:26

the greats. Congratulations to your 2026

Ladies and gentlemen, we are back.

28:56

Welcome to the 2026 Call of Duty League

28:59

Championship weekend presented by Player

29:01

X. We are in downtown Las Vegas and

29:04

already we have dished out some

29:05

hardware, some serious cash that comes

29:07

with it and of course we have sent some

29:10

teams to some tough spots in the

29:12

bracket. We welcome everyone back in for

29:14

the first day of your weekend. It is

29:16

Friday night and we are going here into

29:19

the losers elimination bracket. Before

29:21

we get into that, we've got to introduce

29:23

my starstudded cast. I'm your host Chris

29:25

Pucket alongside Miss 30 under 30,

29:29

Rosalie Parker, the Emmy award winner.

29:31

How we feeling?

29:32

>> Feeling fantastic. How are you doing,

29:33

host of the year?

29:34

>> I'm doing pretty good. Down at the end,

29:36

we have Mr. Nameless, fivetime champion

29:38

here in the Call of Duty universe.

29:40

Nameless, you also have an Emmy. Are you

29:42

going to earn another one this weekend?

29:43

>> I don't know. I mean, I think I think

29:45

so. It's going to be a great weekend,

29:46

though, Chris. And yeah, it's going to

29:48

be a fun one starting with the losers

29:49

bracket.

29:49

>> And then, of course, we have a very

29:51

special guest joining us here on the

29:53

desk tonight. We have the one and only

29:54

Dylan Attach, the 2015 world champion.

29:57

Give it up for him, Vegas.

29:59

>> Thank you.

30:00

>> 2018 esports player of the year. Dylan,

30:02

how was day one for you here?

30:03

>> Day one was crazy. I mean, the biggest

30:05

thing we had Falcons up in LA. Now, L

30:07

has to make a run through the losers.

30:08

But Chris, let me introduce you. A

30:10

pioneer of esports, someone who's been

30:11

here since the beginning of all this.

30:13

You truly are the face and voice of

30:15

esports.

30:16

>> I appreciate

30:18

it for Chris, too.

30:19

>> And I'm only down a 100red bucks in

30:20

Vegas, baby. Let's take a look at your

30:22

bracket to kick off day number two.

30:24

We've got a great tournament for you. It

30:26

is Optic versus Gentle Mates later in

30:28

the show. Falcons versus Faze though

30:30

could be the match of the day if you

30:32

watched Aluca on day one. But we start

30:35

things off with a bit of a surprise. LA

30:37

Thieves are in the elimination bracket.

30:39

They play G2 and we have Koi facing off

30:42

against Heretics. Rosley.

30:43

>> Yeah, we've got some bangers now in this

30:44

lower bracket. I think it's funny that D

30:46

and Ant were like it's either going to

30:48

be FaZe or Ellie Thieves that goes short

30:50

on day number one. that ended up being

30:52

our LA Thieves. And on the flip side for

30:54

Miami, this is some opportunity for them

30:56

going up against Koi right now just

30:57

because their play style is dangerous

30:59

versus the way that we saw Koi kind of

31:01

fall flat on day number one.

31:03

>> Yeah, I think the biggest thing in this

31:04

matchup is it's two bad search and

31:06

destroy teams, right? And there's things

31:07

you can exploit on either side. Miami

31:09

obviously with a tough draw yesterday

31:11

going up against Optic and they got

31:13

smoked in that SMB. But you got to

31:15

change your approach. I mean, the first

31:16

couple of rounds just not pressing your

31:18

advantage. I think that's something

31:19

that'll be a bit easier up against

31:21

Toronto.

31:22

>> We are in the Mlob Ultra Arena, home of

31:25

some 30 UFC fights. We're taking off the

31:28

gloves. Who needs to step it up on this

31:30

Miami roster today? It can't just be

31:32

one. I want eyes on at least two

31:33

players.

31:34

>> Oh, absolutely. I have to look at Real.

31:36

I mean, Real actually was on Toronto

31:38

Ultra to begin this season. He left

31:39

Miami Heretics at the end of last

31:40

season, joined Tunnel Ultra, then he was

31:42

dropped from that team. So, this is a

31:44

grudge match right here. He has to step

31:46

it up in SND. They have not been looking

31:47

good and I need him to be the one

31:49

getting those first bloods and also

31:51

Renor to take over in the respawn modes.

31:53

>> Let's take a look here at their

31:54

opponents. You mentioned it. Real was

31:56

once on this roster at the start of the

31:58

year. He accepted a bag. He got a higher

32:00

salary. Excited to join the team. The

32:02

fit didn't work out. Miami was never the

32:04

same. And Toronto, I feel like they were

32:06

looking for their footing for the first

32:08

half of the season.

32:09

>> 100%. And you know, it's been a weird

32:11

season for them. Losing Joe Dece

32:12

bringing in Abe. Phoenix Kleenex has

32:14

consistently said this is the best that

32:16

he's felt. And Kips had a good

32:17

performance yesterday just wasn't

32:18

enough. But for this team, when you go

32:21

back and you watch their search and

32:22

destroy showing the same exact look the

32:25

first three rounds, there is more in the

32:27

tank for these guys. They have to adjust

32:29

earlier. And for Insight and for

32:32

Kleenex, this could be the last

32:33

tournament that they play together.

32:35

Expecting them to have a better run than

32:37

getting knocked out first. And I think

32:38

one of the most important things as we

32:40

look at the maps and modes, it's going

32:41

to be those search and destroys. We

32:42

haven't seen either of these teams play

32:44

these maps in quite a long time. And

32:46

both of them are the worst SND teams

32:48

that we have in the building. You could

32:49

even argue the last 60 days. And I'm

32:51

looking at Kits who's in that Monster

32:53

Energy spotlight when you talk about

32:54

Toronto Po and he's been their SND guy

32:57

when they needed him. And he loves this

32:59

match up versus Miami Heretics. They're

33:00

going to need him in this loser round

33:02

one.

33:02

>> This is a dice roll for me. Kips though

33:04

is going to be able to pop off on den

33:06

game three. If you give him a den game

33:08

five, look out for that young stud. It's

33:10

time to lock in our first golf picks of

33:13

day two. This is Friday and I'm going

33:15

for 123. Can you guys help me out? Who

33:19

wants the heretics to win?

33:22

>> We got Who wants Koi to win this one?

33:25

>> I'm going Coy.

33:26

>> Oh, I'm going to go with Toronto Koi. I

33:28

don't know. Something's in the building.

33:29

>> All right. I'm sorry. Building. I'm

33:31

going with Miami Heritage.

33:32

>> Salad. This is a close one.

33:33

>> Nameless 164,

33:35

>> man. I've been in between on this

33:37

matchup all morning. We keep talking

33:38

about it. I'm going to go with Koi

33:40

though, and I believe in Kips. I think

33:41

he has a good performance.

33:43

>> Shout out to the best dressed man in the

33:45

game. He is ready on the stage. Guy

33:47

Blaze, take it away.

33:49

>> Much love to you, Chris. And shout out

33:50

to you guys all in Vegas. It's time to

33:53

get day number two started. And more

33:55

importantly, shout out to you guys at

33:56

home. Make some noise in the chat on who

33:58

you think is going to take this match

34:00

up. It's an elim elimination battle and

34:03

both of our teams are ready to go. So

34:05

get ready to give them your vomos and

34:07

get loud for the Miami Heretics

34:14

Super

34:15

Renor

34:17

Meadows in real.

34:20

Miami knows that now is the time to

34:23

leave it all out on the stage. It comes

34:26

down to this. The Miami Heretics are

34:29

ready. They've just been searching for a

34:32

spark since bringing Real back in the

34:34

lineup. They've shown that they can do

34:35

it in Hardpoint, but they need to get

34:37

back to their SND dominance. I'm looking

34:40

at Super to have a standout performance.

34:42

One of the most dangerous snipers that I

34:44

have ever seen in that man Renport to

34:47

lay down the damage could be an absolute

34:49

banger. That's exactly what it's going

34:52

to be. And I saw the Sparks backstage

34:54

and I know Super's ready to play as well

34:57

as this next player who is coming to the

34:59

stage with Hillman and his squad. Show

35:02

some love to the Toronto Core.

35:08

Abe

35:10

Kicks

35:12

Insight and Kleenex.

35:15

Koi has been looking for that flow state

35:18

and they have been getting closer and

35:20

closer to it every single series. Ready

35:23

to make a splash on the stage. Coy is

35:26

ready to go.

35:27

>> They might have not gotten the result

35:29

that they wanted yesterday, but there is

35:30

some light at the end of the tunnel for

35:32

this team. Their respawn has been

35:34

incredibly strong over the past 60 days

35:36

and specifically in this matchup. They

35:38

have dominated. So watch out especially

35:40

in that map number one. And if this team

35:42

can come out hot versus Miami, they

35:44

could be looking at a clean sweep, guy.

35:47

>> Woo! A clean sweep to start the day.

35:50

Some may want it, but if you're a Miami

35:52

fan, you might not want that result.

35:55

It's about to be crazy. You can almost

35:57

call it a battle royale here on the

35:59

stage and Miles and Chance is about to

36:02

call action.

36:02

>> Thank you very much, Blaze. Big game,

36:05

folks. First time we send the team home

36:07

here at Champs. We love and hate these

36:09

days, Mr. Ashwood. We love and hate.

36:11

This is I mean most difficult at champs.

36:13

The thrill of a victory, the agony of

36:16

defeat in these type of moments, it is

36:18

absolutely brutal because you're in a

36:19

situation even if you get the win you

36:21

don't feel good. Top six isn't enough.

36:23

You need to keep going. So this is right

36:24

now a battle of survival. Of course, we

36:27

already know survival of the finished.

36:28

We're going to find out very soon on the

36:30

main stage. And I love that we get

36:31

Colossus map one.

36:32

>> Yeah, Colossus map number one. We're

36:34

going to go to Koi first on this side of

36:35

the stage, folks. Again, we saw them

36:36

play yesterday. Tough scenes, but as Ali

36:38

said, light at the end of the tunnel. We

36:39

saw some good performances. And again,

36:40

there is certainly life in this roster.

36:43

Whether or not they have it here against

36:44

the heretics, we're going to find out

36:45

soon. But chance again, when it comes to

36:46

players, we think of Insight and we

36:48

think of Kleenex, true veterans of the

36:50

scene, veterans of the squad. I, you

36:51

know, they made their champs debut back

36:53

in Black Ops 4 8 years ago, it feels

36:56

like. And I mean, they had success, but

36:58

that was for a top 12 placement back in

37:00

the day when we had 32 teams at this

37:02

tournament. There was electricity in the

37:04

venue. We found out tissue was the

37:06

issue. Well, here we are many moons

37:08

later. And again, even though they're

37:09

already top eight, it would be bitter to

37:12

fall in this moment. Once you figure out

37:14

whatever is going on in this monitor,

37:16

you'd be good to go.

37:16

>> Well, same kind of tissue, different

37:18

kind of issue in that instance. But

37:19

we'll see how things go again for Koi.

37:21

Many of their fans watching here, many

37:23

home and nervous energy for this squad.

37:26

High expectations. One of these staples

37:28

and one of the most successful teams in

37:29

the league in many, many regards. And on

37:31

the other side of the stage, the

37:33

Heretics. They have caused nothing but

37:35

problems for their opponents for a long

37:37

time, but not always on land charts.

37:39

>> No, very uh often struggles. Three and

37:42

seven in their last 10 land matches that

37:44

they have had. And I think this is why

37:46

Colossus is an interesting map. One, if

37:48

there's any nerves, if you have any

37:49

issues, you're going to have 80

37:51

gunfights that you're going to be taking

37:52

on this map. So, let's get the first

37:54

ones through. You're going to be in a

37:55

good spot. And I'm excited to see the AR

37:58

duel we're going to have cuz

37:59

stylistically very different players on

38:01

these two team.

38:02

>> Super different. Well, we're going to

38:02

look at Kips and Rinkle as our sort of

38:04

headto-head going into this matchup.

38:07

Metal's the man on your screen there, a

38:08

player who's had some incredible

38:11

highlights. But as far as two very, very

38:14

different players to watch, Rancor at

38:17

times, Chance, you know, not 100%

38:19

certain what the game plan is, but at

38:20

the end of the day, the kills are always

38:22

there.

38:22

>> Well, you're just going to notice for

38:24

Rancor, he has a better KD. That is

38:26

literally it. He has outperformed as a

38:28

Slayer. He is massively outperformed in

38:30

Search and Destroy. But the stats at the

38:32

end of the map, at least for Rancor, you

38:34

expect to look good. That's why I think

38:36

it's a very interesting stylistic battle

38:38

between these two. I would love to see

38:39

even Rancors next to Insights. You talk

38:42

about an arrow versus stat differential

38:44

for those two players. Get to see who

38:47

has the higher impact here. And Gang

38:49

Colossus for these two teams. It's going

38:51

to be a treat. Here we go. Map number

38:54

one. A Koi. It has been pretty solid

38:57

against the Heretics in the last five

39:00

hard points. Strong victories there on

39:02

Scar. Colossus a little tighter. We're

39:04

going to see how this one goes. Our

39:05

first map of the day. Here we go.

39:11

And you see what the observers are

39:12

thinking. A, you know, rookie on this

39:14

team debut at chance yesterday. Maybe a

39:18

little bit opportunity to get the ball

39:20

rolling here. And hey, thanks medals for

39:22

his first kill. Looking to get that

39:23

statue control, but it is for the

39:25

moment. Eight versus the entire squad.

39:27

And right to take him down. Hey, we say

39:29

good for the kills. Always going to get

39:31

him. Gets Heretics back in time for Mr.

39:34

Kleenex.

39:36

First attempt for the hard point. No

39:37

good for Koi. Second go at it. All they

39:40

had to do was fight this orange in order

39:41

to peel it. But again, what a contest.

39:43

Both squads going for it. And yet again,

39:45

Heretics on top. Yeah, if only we had a

39:47

trophy system. Yeah, nothing cooking

39:48

there on P1. Very difficult to stay

39:51

alive. So opening Salvoy's ball game.

39:54

Super actually 4 and0 and close to the

39:56

hell storm off the rib. So trying to

39:58

show off the good stuff. Maybe an extra

40:01

kill in the the time collection. He'll

40:03

be good to go. But he's doing the smart

40:04

thing. Back it down. You got the right

40:06

side spawning for the moment for P2. And

40:08

he's got some free kills to shoot

40:09

players in the Oh, doesn't get it.

40:11

Doesn't get the hell stom. No good. What

40:12

a denial. And that's certainly going to

40:14

help Metals there finding the angle in

40:16

the inside of time. Rick picks it up.

40:18

Heretics yet again onto holding the

40:20

line. And once again that P1 pin

40:21

trolling through. First time it was

40:23

Super this time medals. The pressure

40:25

very consistent. Now looks like super

40:27

refilling that position. So heretics

40:29

right now flowing on Colossus maybe

40:32

struggling on some of the bigger maps

40:33

but this one straightforward and so far

40:35

feeling good. You see the stats I mean

40:36

overall very solid work here from Koi in

40:40

the hardpoint mode. Heretics holding

40:42

firm so far. Kleenex took pistol and

40:45

what an attempt it was two there for

40:46

metals. Cleans point gets the scrap.

40:48

Rotation on for Koi. They let that 20

40:50

seconds fly. They need to win this

40:52

rotation. Currently getting out slayed

40:53

going to be down by 30 going into the

40:55

new time. currently has that top side

40:57

spread. Kleenex over towards blue crate.

40:59

Insight responsible for the tunnel.

41:01

There's two teammates watching the page.

41:03

Insight wants to make this his home. Big

41:05

J finds another a perfect blank

41:08

a what a two surely lends some time now

41:11

to Koi. He gets to be fearless. Finds

41:14

the timing to get through Rancor. Yeah,

41:16

they sniff it out. So a great spot at

41:18

least for the pinch player. You got a

41:19

4v3 to bang out time.

41:20

>> Oh, right out of time we go. Back and

41:22

forth. Insight still holding the line.

41:23

Still alive and well. watches the flank

41:24

admirably now on the force three. No

41:26

fifth red on the break. What a kill from

41:28

a from spawn. Right back to time. You

41:30

see he had a good first dash. You want

41:32

to be aggressive if you're the first man

41:33

in line. You get a refill nice and

41:35

pointly. You get to work with Kleenex to

41:37

try to clear out the tunnel players but

41:39

a instead of staying alive went for the

41:40

chow and inside last man standing. The

41:43

heretics break is good. He's hoping for

41:45

that kill but at the end of the day po

41:46

will make the rotation towards new. A

41:48

sizable opportunity here for the

41:50

heretics to pull this scrap away and

41:52

keep that lead looking good. So po

41:54

having to work very hard here on

41:55

Colossus so far.

41:56

>> Well, wiped them off the board. Going to

41:58

have that distant bomb rolling through

41:59

for Heretics. They get that entry kill,

42:01

but very difficult rotation. All these

42:04

nades, no trophies just yet by the time

42:06

this is anybody's rotation. There we go.

42:08

What a bang through the door. Tons of

42:10

guns up there for the Heretics. No

42:11

problem. First man down. Second man

42:13

eaten alive. There's going to be now two

42:14

through the back onto Metals alongside

42:16

Ren Core. And it's nearly a perfect

42:18

defensive hold for the Heretics. They've

42:19

had to stay alive. Could not get it

42:21

done. All those players on heretics

42:23

playing together and flying. That is a

42:25

bully ball for the break. Back door now

42:27

on the front door. Super get down and

42:28

out. And it's going to be two for kicks.

42:29

One for Kleenex. And what do you know?

42:31

Perfect break here from Toronto. Can

42:33

they deal with real in the back? Can

42:35

they deal with Ria in the back? Finally.

42:37

But enough time spent. Koi on the

42:39

reinforce. You saw a maybe struggling a

42:42

little bit early on in the game. Well,

42:43

kicking things up. He's now eight and n

42:45

looking to get even. Kids trying to do

42:46

the exact same thing. Koi might be

42:48

getting out slayed against her for the

42:50

moment. the score line. Nonetheless,

42:53

very close between these two teams.

42:55

Insight with the pistol. Well,

42:57

eventually overwhelmed, but I think what

42:59

we learned from the first half. Slight

43:01

not a massive factor right now. No big

43:03

difference between these two squads. A

43:05

very tight game on Colossus. Starting to

43:07

get loose right now. But still, her

43:09

going into our second set of hard

43:11

points. Back over to the middle we go

43:13

with a decent lead. Can they maintain it

43:15

for now? Super that 12 and eight looking

43:16

very solid. Rank call the 14. 10 kills

43:18

not the problem for Miami. Still no

43:21

trumps on that P1. You see the nades

43:22

making an impact. Going to try to keep

43:24

these heretics players away. Metal just

43:27

needs to slow him down and he does

43:28

exactly that. Drags two players to the

43:30

grave. Nonetheless, very difficult to

43:33

survive on this time. Any player that

43:35

has stepped on it dead within 2 seconds.

43:37

Boy, back to time. Looking for that P2

43:39

as well. A difficult moment. The super

43:41

yet again successor on the P1 plays

43:43

halfway to the hell storm. Will this be

43:45

the time he gets it? A loy and out

43:48

dives. All of this time is fantastic.

43:50

All these points are great. We'll check

43:52

in on the streak in a moment, but for

43:53

now, it's real. I'll keep the backline

43:54

safe. But they haven't accounted for

43:56

Kips.

43:56

>> And yeah, Kips is going to be the

43:57

interesting player in this moment. All

43:58

of his teammates are falling one by one,

44:00

purely praying for this rotation.

44:02

Herics, well, now they're turning aware

44:04

of it. Once he spawn out towards P4,

44:05

they're going

44:08

good for two more players in front of

44:10

him. He's done enough to buy his

44:12

teammates the pressure. Now they start

44:13

to get through the back. Here's the

44:14

attack. Trinkle lost. Man, what a break

44:16

it is. Front line damage done. Three

44:18

dead yet again. Koi, what a play. One of

44:20

those very rare patient moments on

44:22

Colossus. It is the rookie able to

44:24

deliver. Put his team in a good spot.

44:26

Still down by point. Long-term problem.

44:28

Helltop here. All good. We're looking at

44:30

40 seconds to play here for Coin.

44:31

There's P2. So far so good. Real goes

44:34

high. Good for one. Renor and super dro

44:37

in the feet. The last man on the back is

44:38

going to be Kleenex. Can he dig in and

44:39

keep this alive now for Toronto? He sure

44:41

can. It's true for Yansen. Super from

44:44

upstairs. And we are still keeping it

44:45

Mixie on the point. Everybody's getting

44:47

slayed out both sides. Finally, the

44:49

player in time is going to fall. But

44:50

Super wants to be that nuisance. Looks

44:52

like Koi have done just enough, but no,

44:54

it is just a nightmare on P2 to stay

44:57

alive. And Heritage making good plays.

44:59

They showed face on that full wraparound

45:01

for the rotation. Rat back and banged it

45:03

out through the front. That's going to

45:05

grant them a measly three-point lead.

45:07

Yeah, this is perfect. We got the streak

45:08

as well if you want to help break this.

45:09

So, ideal setup right now for the Miami

45:11

Heritage. Keep surviving as long as he

45:13

can, but here comes the big bada boom.

45:15

It's got P3 written all over it. Let's

45:17

go for a listen with Miami.

45:31

Okay.

45:39

Okay.

45:58

Wait,

46:02

wait, wait.

46:23

Baby, show me one.

46:52

Two of the biggest voices you heard

46:53

there, Real and Red Core. And they are

46:55

holding. What a battle so far from Ko

46:57

and Miami.

46:58

>> This is why you got the band back

47:00

together. They have confidence for Real.

47:01

They are ready to have him on their team

47:04

on land. So far so good. They have

47:06

maintained this 30 to 40 point lead from

47:09

the jump. A game of survival here. Loser

47:12

bracket. Heretics are holding on. Third

47:14

set. Koi on time.

47:17

Real open the window. Here come the

47:19

heretics. Three in the feed instantly. A

47:22

holds it. And it's Kips with three of

47:24

his own. Kips brings down a big and out

47:27

of insight trying to keep this place

47:29

safe and sound for Koi. Anyone there to

47:31

get in time as the melee continues here

47:33

on Colossus? Oh, they finally have

47:35

statue control. This is the most stable

47:37

P1 we have seen for Koi. But only 5

47:39

seconds being collected so far. Still no

47:42

trophies. That is a battlefield. Almost

47:44

trench warfare on the P1. The wall hops

47:47

good for a working both sides, but I

47:49

mean look at the sun. Look at the maze.

47:50

It is a nightmare that they have dealt

47:53

with. They are waking up on P1.

47:55

>> Ken the rookie starting to get rolling.

47:57

A couple of sprees for the pair of them.

47:58

The next out by statue down. Oh boy,

48:00

here come Miami. Recor metals on the

48:02

kills trying to put pressure on the P2

48:04

play. It comes down to Insight now.

48:06

Pakoy one the second nearly.

48:09

Reinforcements show up but Real once

48:11

again going high looking for another

48:13

amount of time. Taking off the trade

48:14

vest and it looks like heretics just had

48:16

the extra numbers. Rancor good with the

48:19

M15 there inside the time and well clean

48:22

last man standing. Gone. Heretics

48:24

they've cleaned house but now it's the

48:25

sneaky man. They left an open lane.

48:26

Insight made it through. 200 point mark

48:28

now cross. Miami heretics making a

48:30

house. Insight now from the back. Have

48:32

they read it? They have not. Jamie

48:34

Craraven finds a window. No pair.

48:36

Reinforcement from the front. Shut down.

48:38

The play will be off. Miami should hold.

48:40

The trades are just too good. 40point

48:42

lead. They have bounced right back.

48:44

Trying to flood through the front. Well,

48:46

the P1 pinch always instant for her.

48:48

They have been flagging here on

48:51

Colossus. They love it. They live for

48:53

it. They can taste this map one.

48:55

>> Another three in the feed. It's an hour

48:56

a big hit. You don't want the scrap time

48:58

to go uncontested, but you have to win

48:59

the B3 fight as well. Super. What a

49:01

pair. Gets a couple now. And looking to

49:04

the great outdoors. Abe early on the

49:05

rotation, but the score line is too

49:07

precarious right now for Toronto. And

49:09

Toronto, this is not the side of the map

49:11

they're going to want. They're going to

49:12

be forced to play through it. They are

49:13

losing bodies along the way. They're in

49:14

a pinch. They don't have tunnel. It's a

49:16

nightmare. And you have heretics that

49:18

are simply too fast. The largest lead of

49:21

the game. It is now a victory lap for

49:24

Miami. 32 to 33 for Sufa. Metals now

49:26

holding on time. Here comes the last

49:28

dance. The last possible hope here on

49:30

Colossus. Red hold it. Metals on the hit

49:33

now. Run again. And it's all good for

49:35

Miami. Last chance. And it's going to be

49:37

three. Looking for the fourth of medals.

49:40

The spree complete. And map one in the

49:42

books. Miami take the lead.

49:52

The map ones have been the decider of

49:55

many a series here at Champs. And the

49:58

map one confidently goes the way of

50:00

Miami. Clean, efficient work right from

50:03

the jump. They had that 30 40point lead.

50:06

They maintained through the entire game.

50:08

Kicked up on that final P2. Maybe a few

50:12

opportunities for the Koi players to

50:13

make the high impact plays. They got

50:15

shut down every single time. Look at

50:18

that teamwork coming through for

50:19

Heretics. That is 26 assists out of

50:22

medals. I don't know if that's the

50:23

record for assists on this map, but that

50:25

is going to be close. Eco you go crazy

50:27

there. Well, nontraders, you name it.

50:29

Everything there for the Miami Heretics.

50:33

Incredible work again in map one. And

50:34

again, stats be down. Toronto have had

50:36

the edge against the heretics on land

50:37

and online when it comes to hard points.

50:39

Today was different. And that is what

50:41

makes champ such a tough tournament.

50:42

Highlight plays across the board for

50:43

both squads, but heretics started

50:45

strong, finished strong. Such a great

50:47

gap in that score line all a really

50:50

important point. This is Koi's map. They

50:52

wanted the Colossus against Heretics,

50:54

but thematically it is a map at this

50:56

point of the year that almost plays

50:57

itself. You have diamond players in your

51:00

rank games that are now efficient on

51:02

this map. So, it is just a battle of

51:03

teamwork. It is a battle of who has the

51:05

gun skill and ready for the action. And

51:07

I mean, heretics just on point with it.

51:10

Feel like the few moments you had from

51:12

Koi. There was always the instant bounce

51:14

back from Miami, especially some of the

51:17

Koi point of views. We're watching them

51:19

stuns and mage are just landing at their

51:21

face. It was endless from Miami. Just

51:25

good pressure. We talked about the

51:26

trophy systems your story from the start

51:27

of the match up. It was definitely

51:28

something that continued to crop up.

51:30

Those stuns and aes very very efficient

51:32

out of the heritage player electric out

51:35

of the squad feeling very confident now

51:37

going into the next.

51:40

The cameras in our coaches dugouts here.

51:41

Something we're doing at champs catching

51:43

everyone by surprise. Strong work there.

51:45

The heretics only one flat line towards

51:46

the end there. Was that the beginning of

51:48

the koi start the comeback? Not

51:50

necessarily. It was the beginning of a

51:52

two hardpoint drought at the end of the

51:53

map for them. Bye-bye Colossus. Hello

51:56

now to search and destroy it. This is

51:57

also a game flow where heretics on every

51:59

single hill just a little bit better.

52:01

It's not like they were any full 60s.

52:03

You had the final P4 in the final P2 for

52:06

heretics where then they were able to

52:07

get a nice little jump. That just means

52:09

it was Heretics that were approving as

52:12

the map was going on. And that means

52:14

they're the team that has found their

52:15

comfort pick. So going into map number

52:16

two, heretics going to be flown a little

52:18

bit going to the SND. They need that

52:20

confidence.

52:21

>> Well, that flow is going to stop right

52:22

here. We go to Gridlock. We pump the

52:23

brakes dramatically in the search to

52:25

destroy Den overload. Gridlock hard

52:27

point for map number four and a showdown

52:29

on Den if we can get there. Here we go

52:31

though, folks. Into the SSD chance, how

52:33

do you feel about this for both the

52:34

teams? A

52:35

>> very interesting dynamic for heretics.

52:36

They did not get a single round against

52:39

Optic on the raid they played yesterday.

52:41

So they're looking to get any degree of

52:42

bounce back. Just excited to see what

52:44

Super has going on. You and Ant

52:46

mentioned on the desk of one of the best

52:48

most impactful snipers we have ever seen

52:50

only for a few stages. If the recent

52:52

Super has not shown that, Redlock is a

52:55

new map, new dynamic. Maybe him and

52:57

Insight have a little bit of battle over

52:59

towards that B site cuz this is a map

53:01

where it is sort of your island player

53:03

gets to snipe. Whether Super wants to do

53:05

that or if you want to just bring that

53:06

Colossus theme, let's man bang out this

53:09

A site over and over and over and trust

53:11

it. It'll be fun to see if they watch

53:13

and it'll be fun to see if Koi can make

53:15

that adjustment.

53:16

>> That is not a team that seems to be

53:18

enjoying themselves. That is the most

53:19

simple way to put it and just hold hands

53:20

and run it together to stay within sort

53:23

of line of sight of one another. Get

53:25

those easy gunfight wins and get those

53:27

easy trades here on a map like Gridlock.

53:29

Very, very possible. Especially the a

53:30

bomb site, that shower section, the

53:31

onen, it is a hellish place to take

53:34

gunfights. Our NPC players going to be

53:36

super happy to see that one go down. But

53:38

what a season it has been for both of

53:40

our squads. This is their matchups

53:43

throughout the season coming into today.

53:45

And how confident are you going to be if

53:47

you're Koi where every series you have

53:49

played you've won the map one where you

53:51

are six and one dominating the hard

53:53

point. All of a sudden your back's

53:54

against the wall. You're missing that

53:56

player you used to have and for the SND

53:58

it has been a pain point.

54:04

Oh my god.

54:07

Gridlock. Search and destroy. Here we

54:10

go. Eyes on Super. It's a return to

54:14

form. Is it a brand new look? It's an

54:17

absolutely banging soundtrack. Here we

54:18

go. Round number one.

54:19

>> It's so good. Loving the music from this

54:22

event.

54:24

>> And super no M15 now.

54:29

But those shoulders going to give you

54:30

tons of information. Now cross over

54:31

towards that.

54:34

Pull the pin. Put it back in. Round two.

54:38

And a nade in his grill. Back down the

54:40

space in a nice breed on Kleenex. Easy

54:43

first blood for real.

54:44

>> In and out. Gone. Now back over to the

54:46

other side of the map. A bomb site. His

54:47

boys have held the line here. Metals is

54:49

giving you options. Not a lot of

54:50

information on the inside of the A bomb.

54:52

And that's going to be a problem now cuz

54:53

here come

54:57

two players for on the defensive end. A

54:58

at least gets that even odd. So you got

55:00

a 3v3 inside here.

55:04

Real close right. Too many targets to

55:07

choose from. And he's somehow not

55:08

getting a single kill. Finally for the

55:09

pistol. No way. One v one. Super damaged

55:14

heavily. Aes going to get away for a

55:15

second. 30 on the clock.

55:18

One of the best SMG players throughout

55:20

this year versus the rookie. And they

55:22

are in close quarters running out of

55:23

time. And Super backing away. The timing

55:25

currently on A's side, but you expect

55:29

him to make this read. Abee's checking

55:30

it. And now the turn. Middle of the

55:33

street. The timing unbelievable. I think

55:35

Abe might be licking his lips.

55:38

Round one, Koi. Huge clutch. The past

55:42

three SNDs though, we have seen from Koi

55:44

on land. They're successful with the

55:46

early clutches. This about the middle of

55:49

these maps where they start to fall

55:51

apart a little bit, but Rook is there to

55:53

pick you up in round number one. You get

55:55

first blooded the first 15 seconds in.

55:57

Abe is good to give you three in that

55:59

round. That is a delightful start for

56:02

the rookie.

56:04

>> Not really rookie. I guess played at EWC

56:05

last year.

56:06

>> He did play WC. Okay. Sophomore season,

56:07

so I'll take it. Yeah. Yeah.

56:09

>> Still fresh.

56:10

>> Round two.

56:14

>> See how KO look down on the attack. A

56:15

bomb looking right the target for now.

56:18

Her going to keep it open. A man through

56:20

the middle of the street. One man on the

56:21

A bomb site. This very typical setup

56:22

we've seen throughout the season. Metals

56:25

has got a tough job ahead. Pass the

56:27

information. Don't die. All bases cover

56:30

right now for Koi. No flanks, no

56:31

pinches, no nothing. They can

56:34

technically complete bombside control

56:37

and an aggressive plant spot. This is

56:38

the dream situation for Koi. It is

56:41

exactly what you want to see.

56:44

Entry now from the heretics

56:47

in towards A. They've crossed the

56:48

threshold. Now it's time to dance. Here

56:51

we go. Metals with the opening damage.

56:53

Nobody watching the right hand side.

56:54

We're going to bang through towels.

56:56

Still Metals on the close left. Real

56:58

starts the party. Renor for two. Oh, and

57:01

what explosive play.

57:04

Heretics good for the views. Find the

57:06

equalizer.

57:06

>> Clean on the teamwork. Everybody grouped

57:08

up together. No need to pinch. You trust

57:10

in your teammates. You get Rancor is the

57:13

overwatch of the squad. Moment they got

57:16

that first blood. I mean, boy, Tweaks

57:18

too overaggressive. Start going to make

57:20

those moves. They feel obligated to go

57:22

for those trades and they just get

57:24

eviscerated along the way.

57:28

Basically four man up, fourman down

57:31

heretics. That is as good as it gets.

57:32

>> And this is how hard it is to play on

57:34

the inside of this site.

57:36

>> I mean, you have got to play your trades

57:38

effectively. And even with Reno finding

57:40

too, they're getting nated out

57:41

immediately. It's hard to keep a spree

57:42

going. It's hard to chain kills

57:43

together, especially at this level.

57:45

>> And two different duos for heretics

57:47

working together. Super's been rocking

57:49

it with Real on one side of the map.

57:51

Well, this round here's the adjustment.

57:52

It's just going to be the fourman hit.

57:54

Yeah, we're going in. That's a big old

57:55

smoke. Not sure he wanted that to hit

57:57

him in the face, but now Kleenex starts

57:59

things off for Koi. Close range

58:01

engagement for Real. No success as of

58:04

yet. We are hoping and praying with a

58:05

spray there. Super now slowing things

58:07

down. And again, you've lost tons here.

58:09

Heretics, they have to try to recover

58:10

the bomb as well. They're going to throw

58:12

a smoke in your entire team's face. Lose

58:14

aim assist. And now everybody's cooked.

58:17

Super E and Real now through the middle

58:19

of the map. Koi have read this.

58:23

They've seen both dots. Here comes the

58:24

reshuffle. Real hoping to catch a player

58:27

here.

58:28

Back into the sight. Bombs will be

58:30

blowing right now. There's surely no

58:31

way. A super making as much of a case as

58:35

he possibly can. McCoy take the lead.

58:36

>> Gift of around backto back rounds for

58:39

heretics where the nades and stuns a

58:41

little bit off. The smoke in the face

58:43

the previous round were bouncing frag

58:44

grenades off of walls. A little bit of

58:47

disconnect there. And taking full

58:49

advantage and the no throw for Koi.

58:52

early round success. Couple of clutches

58:54

they have. As the SNDs have progressed

58:57

though, is where they started to

58:58

struggle. So, they're just trying to

59:00

keep that ball rolling. Statistically,

59:02

again, heretics advantage in the mode

59:04

early on here.

59:07

Cory just got a little bit extra in the

59:09

pace there. We see good looks towards

59:10

the A bomb site. Bomb off rip. Nothing

59:13

yet. Back to we go. Inheritics

59:16

defensively doing the same thing. Two

59:18

players on the B site. Super and Real

59:20

working together, but out of the

59:21

picture. You had the dream setup though

59:23

for Koi in the first round. Took sight

59:26

control, got the bomb down, everything

59:28

went exactly as you wanted it, and you

59:30

got wiped off the board for the retake.

59:32

Well, they're trying it again.

59:34

>> Herics, though, this time they've got to

59:35

go all the way around. Got that left

59:36

hand side wide open. So now the battle,

59:39

they've got to time this correctly to

59:40

get in there together. A little moment

59:42

now to set up for Koi to maybe make a

59:44

nervy mistake. Kips, nothing of the

59:46

sort. Both doorways covered. There's the

59:49

nades and lethals. Fights on. Kleenex

59:52

first blood. Trades good. What a spring

59:55

to life. But again, it all comes down to

59:56

Renor. 1 v2 outmanned

1:00:01

and outgunned.

1:00:06

I come from the school of thought if it

1:00:07

ain't broke, don't fix it. You had a

1:00:09

perfect retake from Heretics in round

1:00:11

number one. You had a nearly identical

1:00:13

situation. They try to fix it though.

1:00:16

Went for the two- two split. If you're

1:00:17

going for those pinch plays, that is a

1:00:19

test of Toronto's teamwork. Well, that

1:00:22

is where Koi honestly thrive. Kips is

1:00:24

there going for the information. Kleenex

1:00:26

is the man right next to him. Once he

1:00:28

gets the calm, it's an instant chow from

1:00:30

guy number two. He's able to flow right

1:00:32

in back behind them. Those are the

1:00:34

moments where Koi really thrive.

1:00:37

And those listening moments, we've heard

1:00:38

how clear and concise the coms are.

1:00:43

>> Absolutely thriving. Sniper out from

1:00:45

Super. Now, this is a new look.

1:00:47

to the shower. Possibly swapping that

1:00:49

one out, but it was worth a little peak.

1:00:52

Going to be a one v one on the A bomb

1:00:53

site. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad

1:00:54

is over here by B. We're waiting for the

1:00:56

intel. And Super has passed it over.

1:00:59

He hasn't seen kick. Oh, that's a nice

1:01:02

win. Here come the rest of the heretics.

1:01:07

Super still alive somehow. Real on the

1:01:08

reinforce.

1:01:10

Back over we go. Bomb once again moving.

1:01:13

What a fluid play here from the

1:01:14

heretics. very agile. Well, Kleenex is

1:01:17

going to be picking up the middle of the

1:01:18

map. Insight picking up the outer lane.

1:01:19

Huge pitch to make it a 3v3. Gets a good

1:01:21

read on super, but Insight in between

1:01:23

the entire squad taken care of. He's

1:01:25

just in a 2v2. It's only so much in that

1:01:27

position.

1:01:29

Kleenex should set up a here. Good work

1:01:32

on the teamwork yet again. Super now. He

1:01:34

started the round off strong and he

1:01:37

might be able to finish it. Bomb

1:01:38

recovered.

1:01:41

Where will the play go?

1:01:43

to the main street. Oh my goodness. And

1:01:46

he's dancing. Players all around him.

1:01:48

The shots were good. McCoyy's teamwork

1:01:50

yet again. Sloppiness on the flip side

1:01:53

for Heretics. Found the first blood.

1:01:55

Sort of played the with the map pretty

1:01:57

well. Able to isolate a couple players,

1:01:59

but Insight makes the play in towards

1:02:01

Ice Cream. Lex fills in the right spot

1:02:03

towards the middle of the map. And once

1:02:05

again, Toronto teamwork showing off the

1:02:07

goods.

1:02:09

Unreal that Super Even finds that first

1:02:11

blood. I think Kibs is able to spot him

1:02:12

on the cross and simply gets gunned.

1:02:14

>> Yeah, but that's a super classic. A

1:02:17

asterisk next to the rookie of the year

1:02:18

award. He tried to share it. What Renot

1:02:20

did with him. An incredibly capable

1:02:22

player.

1:02:24

An exceptional aim. But right now kind

1:02:27

of getting belt at 4-1.

1:02:31

Super now. The lone defender. That's a

1:02:34

fast pinch though. Yeah, very aggressive

1:02:36

to come through. Kids somehow finds on

1:02:38

the first blood. Exactly. Super then

1:02:39

falls. You survived this pinch onslaught

1:02:42

and now for Toronto, you've stabilized.

1:02:44

What a heads up there from Insight. Big

1:02:46

tags getting the damage in but no plant.

1:02:48

A gets brought down. The bomb has now

1:02:49

been dropped right next to the A bomb

1:02:51

site. Kleenex on the pickup. That means

1:02:52

there's a gun and a pair of eyes off one

1:02:54

of the many entries now to the site.

1:02:59

Round two here on the bot. Here we go.

1:03:01

Flipped the map on its head, but still

1:03:03

going be an absolute head smash right

1:03:04

now. Heretic trying to find the window.

1:03:06

Real fleet footed assault now towards

1:03:08

the site. They're going left. They've

1:03:09

got far wide. Bet now finds a trade.

1:03:12

Real makes it down to one. And Kips

1:03:15

remains unknown.

1:03:17

What a moment of silence right now. Kips

1:03:20

re-entry. Not good enough for the kill.

1:03:22

Real and rank will get the diffuse. And

1:03:24

just, you know, trying to give credit to

1:03:27

the Toronto teamwork and then you have a

1:03:28

round where just so much space is taken

1:03:30

for free. We initially planted, I think,

1:03:33

on the wrong side of the bomb. You know

1:03:34

the pressure's on the flank. You still

1:03:36

die while going for the first plant. And

1:03:38

then two players for heretics able to

1:03:40

work themselves up showers. The guy on

1:03:42

bomb saying, "How the hell have you let

1:03:43

him kill me?" And once you lose that

1:03:45

first gunfight for the 3v3, the round

1:03:47

just collapses.

1:03:49

Maybe an atypical situation messing with

1:03:52

the minds of Koi. Well, still 42.

1:03:55

It's first to six folks at home in the

1:03:58

vineyard wondering what the hell's going

1:03:59

on.

1:04:02

He'll 211 here from the Heritage across

1:04:04

the map. Big problem. Oh, it would have

1:04:07

been great. He's going to hold him on

1:04:08

the site for the rest of the round. Now

1:04:10

the three man stack going by the AO site

1:04:12

is Insight playing completely alone here

1:04:14

for Koi.

1:04:17

Clear all the usual spots.

1:04:19

Enough noise has been given up here just

1:04:21

to bring Kleenex across as well. It's

1:04:24

the vets of Koi now on the retake

1:04:25

attempt. If you got top control, you're

1:04:27

feeling great about this center from

1:04:28

Heretics. Real is the key man. This is

1:04:31

such a good

1:04:33

place to perfection. Easy read, but that

1:04:35

is going to be a trade immediately for

1:04:36

the 3v3.

1:04:40

Ro the poke just waiting for anyone to

1:04:41

show something. Kips flank dealt with

1:04:43

metals. Right gun, right place, right

1:04:45

time. And now the clock goes red. Can

1:04:47

they pick it up? There's one man on the

1:04:48

flank. ID's the second looking for

1:04:50

number three. Hey, good damage pulling

1:04:53

them out of play. There's an opportunity

1:04:55

here, but no, Insight's got to clutch

1:04:56

this one up and he has been dealt with

1:04:58

as well. Heretics backto back rounds.

1:05:02

And it's a good one. They've shown the

1:05:03

look a few times. Super sniping over

1:05:05

towards A. Go to wrap back over towards

1:05:07

the B site instead of mid. It's just

1:05:10

everybody grouped up together. Air takes

1:05:13

any time they have moved as a full

1:05:15

squad. They've been able to beat Toronto

1:05:17

down.

1:05:18

Bully away insight. Take that top broken

1:05:21

control and never look back. A confident

1:05:24

play there for Miami.

1:05:29

at 4-1. Bell not looking so bad anymore

1:05:32

at 43 now. We're one away from tying it

1:05:34

all up. Metal's nice three spree.

1:05:37

Defensively a heavier stack towards a

1:05:39

koi their tip of their spear just edging

1:05:43

towards B

1:05:49

will clear all the usual spots. Kips

1:05:51

takes a tag. It's enough now to bring

1:05:53

nobody forward there for her. They

1:05:54

haven't seen the rest of the players and

1:05:55

hey thinking about it more than spidey

1:05:59

senses tingling right now. Here come the

1:06:01

rest of the Heretics. The Naz now now

1:06:02

coming over the top. No trophy in play

1:06:03

either. So this could get very dangerous

1:06:05

for those two players.

1:06:07

Botan can we get away with our lives?

1:06:09

Heritage still not fully committed here

1:06:11

on the retake.

1:06:12

>> Well, Toronto is completely back down.

1:06:14

They are playing this passively to watch

1:06:15

over the bomb.

1:06:17

>> Connection. Super close around the

1:06:19

corner. Real now trying to get in the

1:06:20

fight.

1:06:21

>> That smoke certainly helped things out.

1:06:22

He's getting right in the mix. No, yet

1:06:24

again it's kids with the good kill. NPC

1:06:26

in hand. Metals good for two. It's a 2v2

1:06:29

now on the side. Renor driving forward.

1:06:31

Brought down under a hail of fire and

1:06:32

super. He's got so much to deal with

1:06:34

here. And Koi holds the line. Matt point

1:06:39

53

1:06:40

getting it done in feeling the stress.

1:06:43

Oh yeah, there's a great smoke for

1:06:45

heretics for the opportunity for the

1:06:47

retake, but they won the entry gunfight.

1:06:49

Trade looked good after the pass.

1:06:52

Kleenex with the final stamp on it in

1:06:54

maybe a moment you might need that one

1:06:56

player on the pinch for the pressure.

1:06:57

Very difficult just to almost sprint

1:07:00

forward for a P2 break. That is a very

1:07:02

difficult thing.

1:07:03

>> This is what it looks like from the

1:07:04

other side of Kips. His gunfight versus

1:07:06

what we saw Real attempt. Much easier

1:07:10

and that be the way it goes sometimes

1:07:11

with smoke. Perfect placement but to

1:07:13

take the fight was one thing. Heretics

1:07:15

desperately trying to make something

1:07:16

happen here and they are going for it.

1:07:18

Insight, you are about to eat a lot of

1:07:20

information, mate. sees the snipe, backs

1:07:22

up. Did he see any more players? We may

1:07:24

never know. But now the attempt on the

1:07:26

bomb. Heretics are going for it. Oh,

1:07:28

Insight lies lining up. Kleenex able to

1:07:30

catch the guy up bomb and Insight give

1:07:32

you the first blood. A 4v2 for Koi. What

1:07:35

a reaction here. Koi, what a reaction.

1:07:38

Kleenex five in a row. Super.

1:07:42

What a clutch this would be. And he is

1:07:45

alone and he is afraid. And this is what

1:07:47

it looks like folks. Here comes the rest

1:07:49

of Koi on the tail end of this. Search

1:07:52

and destroy goes to Toronto.

1:08:05

Well, the stats told us that the

1:08:08

Heretics are going to be much better in

1:08:10

this mode. Not to be found as of yet.

1:08:13

1-1 going into the overload.

1:08:17

McCoy more than a sign of life. Very

1:08:20

confident map win there. Got ourselves a

1:08:22

series. Great look from Insight's

1:08:24

perspective in that final round. Gets

1:08:26

the intel multiple times. Eyes lighting

1:08:28

up and it is Kleenex able to jump in,

1:08:30

pierce that setup and just kill that guy

1:08:32

off. Um making the adjustments is the

1:08:34

name of the game. Rats indeed is the

1:08:36

middle and late rounds where Koi have

1:08:38

struggled as of recent. And this one on

1:08:40

gridlock absolutely clean solid there on

1:08:43

the first blood front. They dealt with

1:08:45

real. They gave away three first bloods,

1:08:47

but they also committed him to three

1:08:49

first deaths. So, even on that front and

1:08:52

really just dealing with the AR players,

1:08:54

that is what six and 15 combined coming

1:08:56

through for Frankson.

1:08:57

>> I was talking about the AR battle before

1:08:58

this match started and yet for sure.

1:09:01

Insight Renor an interesting look at

1:09:03

both damage department there. Insight

1:09:05

very much coming out on top. Say goodbye

1:09:07

to Gridlock for now. Den after the break

1:09:10

and we go to that hard point one way or

1:09:11

another, folks. Den search destroy if we

1:09:13

have to go to the distance. I am feeling

1:09:15

it today, man. I can't lie. I think this

1:09:16

might be a long game five sort of day.

1:09:18

How you feel?

1:09:19

>> I'm ready for it, man. Give me the more

1:09:20

game fives. I know quite a few three 0's

1:09:22

yesterday. Today is going to be the day

1:09:24

for a battle. Today's the day for the

1:09:25

battle. But right now, it's time for a

1:09:26

very quick break on the other side of

1:09:28

this. We're playing overload here at

1:09:30

Champs live from Las Vegas.

1:09:42

>> Nice. Nice.

1:09:45

Bro,

1:09:52

save. Heretics ready to dive in. Thanks

Hydra with the switch impossible. He's

1:12:16

So they were hearing and we were hearing

1:12:17

>> good grenade. Oh, he just ice skated on

1:12:21

him.

1:12:22

>> Yo, that was a skateboard move right

1:12:24

there.

1:12:32

whichever bomb set they choose to go to.

1:12:34

30 seconds on the clock and well he's

1:12:36

been seated. He will drop off the map.

1:12:42

>> Well, hello there. We are back and ready

1:12:44

to kick it into the map three. Uh, a hot

1:12:47

contest so far. Uh,

1:12:50

>> yeah,

1:12:50

>> it's hot in the building. It's hot in

1:12:52

the series.

1:12:52

>> Hey, you got shorts on today.

1:12:53

>> You're hot. Yeah, I knew it was going to

1:12:54

be warm today. I had a feeling so I had

1:12:56

to pull out the quads. Look at these

1:12:58

things.

1:12:59

>> You think anyone's blinded? I

1:13:01

>> see through them.

1:13:01

>> I've been I've been hitting the pelon

1:13:02

though. There's some muscle there. I'm

1:13:03

telling you, these things feel like a

1:13:04

couple of rocks, man.

1:13:08

>> Okay,

1:13:08

>> I'm so sorry about that. Everybody home,

1:13:10

hopefully no one viewer discretion is

1:13:13

advised. Had their vision affected by

1:13:15

the bright lights of my quads.

1:13:21

>> He's there.

1:13:22

>> Bottom Z. Bottom Z. Bottom Z.

1:13:25

>> Oh My bad.

1:13:26

>> Oh, hold up.

1:13:28

Go to Marcus.

1:13:30

>> Low dirt.

1:13:32

>> Low dirt.

1:13:33

>> I just trolled a bomb. He's far right.

1:13:35

Backing up.

1:13:36

>> Backed up.

1:13:45

>> Push.

1:13:53

>> Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to

1:13:54

Las Vegas. We are getting through the

1:13:57

first match of champs here on this

1:13:59

glorious Friday at the Michelob Ultra

1:14:01

Arena. It's my time and we're having

1:14:04

ourselves quite the time. Watch parties

1:14:06

galore. It's all happening here at

1:14:09

Champs. Welcome back to this first of

1:14:11

the elimination match ups. We are going

1:14:13

to send a squad home which is one of my

1:14:15

favorite things to do at Champs. Also

1:14:17

one of the hardest things to do. Chance,

1:14:18

>> you're evil.

1:14:19

>> I know what I very difficult thing to

1:14:20

do. The agony of defeat never a fun

1:14:22

thing. It'll be devastation. whatever

1:14:24

team loses here, but more coten overload

1:14:28

is where we're going to and maybe a map

1:14:30

that Koi are going to be happy to see. I

1:14:32

mean, they have been one of the best

1:14:34

defensive teams on this map all year

1:14:37

long. So, they're almost prepped for

1:14:38

these types of situations. They are

1:14:41

ready for the war.

1:14:42

>> Maybe the old Koi, I don't know. This is

1:14:43

such a different roster now. They were

1:14:45

the masters of them for so so long.

1:14:48

Couple of big changes there. Aan Kips,

1:14:50

the youngans, they're certainly pulling

1:14:52

their weight in this series so far. has

1:14:53

been a fun time for both of our squads.

1:14:55

And again, we've flipped the script. All

1:14:57

the stats telling you one thing, and at

1:14:58

the end of the day, it is Koi losing the

1:15:00

opening respawn. Now, the Den very, very

1:15:02

differently. Both squads, Heretics have

1:15:04

been part of what the longest game of

1:15:07

Den overload in human history. They've

1:15:10

been there. They've done that. Going to

1:15:12

find out how this one fares today. Map

1:15:14

number three. Here we go. The humpback

1:15:15

of the series to take the lead has

1:15:18

certainly put the other team in trouble.

1:15:20

Den overflow.

1:15:23

And for either of these teams, something

1:15:26

they are really hunting for is to build

1:15:29

momentum, to go through the losers

1:15:31

bracket in this tournament. You don't

1:15:33

want these nailbiters, close wins where

1:15:35

you're making mistakes every now and

1:15:36

again. You're looking to find that

1:15:38

perfection, hit that flow state, and

1:15:40

really find that team unison. You're

1:15:42

looking on the Koi side. Kleenex has

1:15:44

talked about, and he said this is most

1:15:45

confident he's been in any roster in

1:15:48

years. That is high praise for a guy

1:15:50

like that. And you got Abe had what 10

1:15:52

kills on map number two. Three bomb

1:15:54

clamps. He was on point. Now he's on the

1:15:56

time flying through. And hey, he's

1:15:57

already in your kill.

1:15:58

>> Abe is in cheeks. He's gone all the way.

1:16:00

No way he gets this guy as well. Abe

1:16:02

three and nothing right off rip. He's

1:16:03

still with heavy pockets. Kit's trying

1:16:05

to find the kills and we're going for

1:16:06

it. EMP possession now for Koi the

1:16:08

bottom side, but metals on Royale. What

1:16:10

a defensive bit of work. A can you be

1:16:12

the hero yet again? Heretic setting up

1:16:15

for the B point. One man got past him.

1:16:17

Take care of this. be number five for

1:16:19

Abe if he gets it. But he's looking

1:16:21

towards mid. He's got a big

1:16:22

responsibility. He's got Insight helping

1:16:24

him out. He's there to finish off the

1:16:26

kill. So going to need the device reset.

1:16:28

We're trying to force this through.

1:16:29

We're going for it. Respawn is going to

1:16:31

be close here for the heretics

1:16:32

defensively. Oh, they eat the nades.

1:16:34

It's 6 and0 for Abe. No way. He gets the

1:16:36

score as well. What an opener. Surely

1:16:39

streak out after a play like that. Nuts

1:16:41

to have a frag grenade a minute into the

1:16:43

round when you haven't died yet. A

1:16:45

saving it for the perfect moment. That

1:16:47

is a huge score. What a life. Heritage

1:16:50

though digging in. T going to make sure

1:16:53

stay comfortable here. Super lun for

1:16:54

damage. Real gets involved for a second.

1:16:57

And yeah, a what a life he has had.

1:17:00

Fully stripped out.

1:17:03

McCoy down. Kleenex has got a lot of

1:17:04

work to do here. Heretics relentless on

1:17:06

the attack. Oh, what a night. Little too

1:17:09

aggressive. Going to get punished for

1:17:10

it. Super now going to be leading the

1:17:11

charge through back to mid. You got to

1:17:13

get these kills quick. You got to still

1:17:14

make sure you've both bases covered.

1:17:17

At this point in time, Heritage trying

1:17:18

to keep off off the point and they're

1:17:20

in. Super is going to find the kill.

1:17:22

Insight now on the right flank, pushing

1:17:23

forward. Kips down going for the

1:17:25

jugular. Can he stop this play here?

1:17:28

Kips the second man should be down. And

1:17:31

Insight and Co.

1:17:34

>> Super wins the huge one and he hits the

1:17:35

nade. That would have been a score if

1:17:37

not for Super. And all of a sudden

1:17:39

Insight well trapped in between the

1:17:41

entire heretic squad. They have device

1:17:43

controls

1:17:44

back and forth.

1:17:47

As soon as you get a little bit of life

1:17:48

there, Heritage, they fight right back.

1:17:50

Keep it alive. No gold line attacks as

1:17:53

of yet. Another pick up now. Boy with

1:17:55

the possession. Heavy stack of the

1:17:57

defense. We're in the nad. He's coming

1:17:58

through. Metals goes up. And so far so

1:18:01

good. Big flank now from Kleenex.

1:18:02

There's the damage. Here comes the

1:18:04

pressure from the front. Another flank

1:18:06

being red. A trying to find the window.

1:18:08

Renegade going through and he might just

1:18:10

be able to do so. No. Good stop. Last

1:18:12

man in sight. And he's holding on for

1:18:15

now. It might be a goal. Jamie Craraven

1:18:17

to tow it over the line. It's good.

1:18:21

>> He'll take that if you are in sight. Not

1:18:23

too shabby. That was a huge soul force

1:18:26

from the Heretics and maybe a slight

1:18:28

overcommitment. Now they're trying to

1:18:29

reposition. Three players in towards P2.

1:18:31

Device Hannah Royale and they are

1:18:33

soaring. But surely this is a capture.

1:18:34

What an aggressive attack. Nate's in.

1:18:36

No, a stop. I don't believe it. Metals

1:18:39

down as well. Kips for three. What a

1:18:42

save. Confusing to watch, but out of the

1:18:44

chaos, Kib able to deliver 12 kills in a

1:18:48

moment of stability. Dorano in the long

1:18:50

term. This device resets the top side of

1:18:52

the map, but that is something you need

1:18:53

to be prepared for. Koi right now taking

1:18:55

it slow. Miraculous defense yet again

1:18:57

towards the A goal. Looking for another

1:19:00

Kleenex now opens the window and there

1:19:01

we go. Kips right in. What a play. Koi

1:19:04

absolutely dominating the first half so

1:19:06

far.

1:19:06

>> Just like yesterday. Rank four just a

1:19:08

little out of position in these

1:19:09

overloads. Instant punishment there

1:19:11

coming in from boy by good spawn traps

1:19:14

are flowing in. Kits able to give you

1:19:15

the goods. That is what double hell

1:19:17

storms now rolling through for the koi

1:19:19

boys. The young lads finding those kills

1:19:21

coming out on the pickup. You going to

1:19:23

make another move here. A he's still

1:19:25

making the run. Kleenex the man

1:19:27

upstairs.

1:19:29

Can he get these kills? There's one the

1:19:31

second damage. Oh, we might be on for

1:19:33

another capture. Big pinch. Kleenex

1:19:35

looking for another. Slip slides. Gets

1:19:37

away with it. The play's still good.

1:19:39

Kleenex down and the Heretic stopped.

1:19:41

Yet another go through.

1:19:42

>> Oh, that was with the pistol. He was

1:19:44

able to give you two, so he expended all

1:19:46

of his clips. I got the device top side

1:19:49

of the map. All the heretics players

1:19:51

here grouped up together. Mia floating

1:19:53

towards mid. Oh boy. And so much damage

1:19:56

being done. Heretics not jumping just

1:19:58

yet. Some good shots out of a not enough

1:20:01

onl pressure now yet again. Here we go.

1:20:04

Heritics trying to salvage the round.

1:20:07

Last man left alive. Super with the MP.

1:20:09

It doesn't hit a whole lot. Three dead

1:20:11

in the feed. Koi yet again with 30

1:20:14

seconds to play. This first half has

1:20:16

been there. They would love to get the

1:20:17

stamp on it. That device guy a little

1:20:21

bit by himself. Clean. Well, good to get

1:20:23

the cleanup kill. That is delightful

1:20:24

work from Kim just to stay alive. Two

1:20:26

kills now on the feed. Super last man

1:20:28

standing. Wiped off the board and call

1:20:30

it 40.

1:20:33

Welcome to halftime. Den overload. A

1:20:36

pain point for Miami.

1:20:38

>> Oh goodness. I mean one solid attempt

1:20:40

and an outrageous stop this opening life

1:20:43

from a I mean pace set. You've given the

1:20:45

heretics absolutely nothing. Suffocating

1:20:48

them a yet again finding the kills

1:20:50

getting the capture. That's a helltorm.

1:20:52

That's two hell storms to play with

1:20:53

runoff for a fourgoal lead. This has to

1:20:57

be one of the best second halfs we've

1:20:58

ever seen from Miami. I you know Rancor

1:21:00

is over here pinching through P2 while

1:21:02

inside scoring instead of rapping back

1:21:04

off spawn. That's a lot of trust in your

1:21:06

teammates. Here's Mumb just makes the

1:21:08

huge play and the Heretics guys maybe a

1:21:11

little bit too worried about the pinch.

1:21:12

Difficult to force it through. The

1:21:14

Toronto defense absolutely on point and

1:21:17

well their offense looked even better.

1:21:18

>> That's brilliant stuff. Well, here in

1:21:19

Overload, yeah, we get four. We blow the

1:21:22

whistle early. We send you straight to

1:21:23

the second half. Here we go right into

1:21:24

the action. And the heretics yet again,

1:21:26

we do have to see one of the best halves

1:21:29

of Overload imaginable. And here at

1:21:31

Champs, we ask absolutely of that. You

1:21:34

can just afford to be annoyed. Complete

1:21:36

TDM. Don't even have to touch the device

1:21:38

unless you get the complete clearance.

1:21:40

That's why Abe's got the AR out. Just

1:21:42

wants to be the overseer. Not let Rank

1:21:44

touch it. And Ranken just waiting for

1:21:46

his teammates to make the play. We know

1:21:48

this is not the strategy with the lead.

1:21:49

You want to park the bus in any

1:21:50

circumstances. Yes, a touch of trauma

1:21:53

there.

1:21:55

So, her fighting wave in. They've got a

1:21:57

lot of pressure here, but it's a big

1:21:59

string of kills right now from Toy. We

1:22:01

go high. Kips will stay alive for now.

1:22:04

Mid map total coverage for Koi. No

1:22:06

possession yet.

1:22:08

The back and forth still trying to feel

1:22:10

each other out here early in the half. A

1:22:12

minute burned off the game clock. And

1:22:13

that is three kills in the feed right

1:22:16

now. Koi just maintaining the advantage

1:22:18

of this situation. Keeping the pressure,

1:22:20

keeping that device control. They don't

1:22:22

need to touch it. As long as heretics

1:22:24

don't, that's a free win to touch. You

1:22:26

got two for their name on it. Again, if

1:22:28

you give the Heretics a chance to make a

1:22:30

run, anything's possible. A still

1:22:33

defensively holding everything together.

1:22:35

19 and 11.

1:22:38

Huge work so far.

1:22:41

Heretics. I mean, it's a solo play in

1:22:42

the middle of the map from Renor trying

1:22:44

to find something here. A another A

1:22:46

finally brought down, but it's five

1:22:47

there from Real in the life. And now a

1:22:48

chance to get things going. Kleenexes.

1:22:50

No thanks, mate. I'll take that. Metals

1:22:52

with a big pistol kill. And this could

1:22:54

be an opportunity. Real down in spawn,

1:22:57

but Metals alone. Staggered play from

1:22:59

the Heretics. And finally, they have

1:23:01

device control. It took him a minute and

1:23:02

a half to pick it up. And now that they

1:23:04

have it, there's just nowhere to go. 2

1:23:07

minutes burned off the game clock in

1:23:09

this round. And Metals, none of his

1:23:10

teammates are even trying to catch up to

1:23:12

pass him. Just left out to dry, left

1:23:15

there to die. Rancor, last man standing.

1:23:18

Not too much he can do.

1:23:19

>> Yeah, structurally the formation right

1:23:20

now for not ideal. Frontman should not

1:23:24

be carrying the EMP carried an SMG at

1:23:26

the very best. And right now back to

1:23:29

square one.

1:23:31

>> Minutes being shaved off here. They're

1:23:33

going to be saying goodbye to Den

1:23:34

momentarily. You're already thinking

1:23:35

about the hard point. Not a lot of life

1:23:38

here from the heretics on the second

1:23:40

half. Final chance here for a run. Is

1:23:42

this the beginning? No. A but the

1:23:43

defensive play yet again immediately to

1:23:45

the goal. We've got to see Reno now make

1:23:47

a move and try and help get this EMP

1:23:49

home. And so far it's one kill to his

1:23:51

name. immediately traded out. Koi all

1:23:54

good ironed up and stationary. You need

1:23:55

to get this scores but we're banning our

1:23:58

teammates. It is not ideal. Possession

1:24:00

dead even but the 40 efficiency.

1:24:03

This is the first time they touch the

1:24:05

device. You're getting spawn killed but

1:24:06

device and dojo

1:24:09

dealing with the pressure so well. It's

1:24:10

a 4v1 v1 v1 right now. This is tough.

1:24:14

That last man trying to get the not

1:24:15

helping anyone out. Kibs finally brought

1:24:18

down. Super trying to stop another goal

1:24:20

going through the halfway mark. right

1:24:21

now for Koi as they try to cross it. And

1:24:24

what a nervy moment right now with just

1:24:26

under 2 minutes left on the game clock.

1:24:28

Heretics, we have seen nothing. And I

1:24:31

was going to say Kit is posted over

1:24:32

towards the be zone. He's calling it the

1:24:34

helltorm. That was a 3v4. One of the

1:24:36

three has a pistol and Toronto just able

1:24:39

to hold that line. Deal with one

1:24:41

helltorm. Here comes number two.

1:24:42

>> Here comes number two.

1:24:45

>> Man, that is so tough to deal with. A

1:24:47

will it be successful again? just able

1:24:49

to keep those players trapped on the

1:24:50

inside of tin. One goes down and nade

1:24:52

for the other man and the dojo are now

1:24:54

safe. Three in the feed for Koi. It's an

1:24:56

absolute masterclass on dead

1:24:59

defensively.

1:25:00

Can't be messed with

1:25:03

light and easy work. I mean a 40 lead in

1:25:06

the first half and never looked back.

1:25:07

Now we just get to pad these stats.

1:25:09

>> Yeah, we're patting. Oh no, Super can't

1:25:12

catch a single one of that hurts you

1:25:14

again going on the hard point. It's a

1:25:16

confidence knock as well. Kit's looking

1:25:18

for his 31st kill. He's absolutely

1:25:20

slaying the map so far. A joins him in

1:25:23

the 30 bombs as well. Sensational stuff

1:25:25

from Koi last minute. And again, we are

1:25:26

just looking to make those stats look

1:25:28

ever better. Heretics utterly stunned so

1:25:31

far on overload. Thematically, this is

1:25:33

exactly what Toronto want. You want to

1:25:35

have the young gun shoot hot like this

1:25:37

to see a 30 and 17 is a wonderful sight.

1:25:40

That is back to back for he's absolutely

1:25:43

popping off. There is the extra score he

1:25:46

is able to collect.

1:25:48

maybe shooting for the hat-tick as they

1:25:50

have been gunning them to bed. A brace

1:25:52

for Kips and Abe. They get two each.

1:25:54

Final 20 seconds for the Heritage now.

1:25:57

Again, it is merely trying to keep the

1:25:59

guns warm. What a devastating

1:26:01

performance.

1:26:03

And Koi should absolutely feel good

1:26:05

about this one. A gridlock hard point on

1:26:07

the other side. And there it is, the

1:26:09

hattick for Kits. His third of the

1:26:12

season.

1:26:14

6 nil.

1:26:18

An absolute slaughter in overload

1:26:22

puts Koi match point.

1:26:26

And for Koi on land, that is the best

1:26:28

their teamwork has felt. Tom flowing,

1:26:32

complete control of the map. Great usage

1:26:35

of the hell storms. Teamwork on point.

1:26:38

Aan kids absolutely prime. You get two

1:26:41

hell storms in the span of two minutes

1:26:43

there in the first half. It feels

1:26:44

fantastic. They had the advantage. They

1:26:47

never look back. Heretics lands to

1:26:50

slaughter. Yeah, completely

1:26:51

disconnected. Nearly every play outside

1:26:54

of one attempt was totally shut down.

1:26:59

And Koi, it was all there. The kills are

1:27:00

outstanding. Really solid work. Three

1:27:03

for Kips, two for a Insight getting on

1:27:06

the board as well. Sensational stuff

1:27:07

there. Our scuffed play of the game is

1:27:10

going to be the first half for Toronto

1:27:13

Koi off the back of an incredible life

1:27:16

of a not only the streak but the goal

1:27:18

here as well. It was just too good.

1:27:20

Just the teamwork and decision maker. I

1:27:23

am shocked that we actually saw a

1:27:24

Colossus back or at least for that to be

1:27:26

quite big. Just looking at the the style

1:27:28

of the team. Here's a look at the one

1:27:31

attempt. Heretics actually had to get a

1:27:32

capture and you can just see how chaotic

1:27:34

it got for him. Kips able to clean up

1:27:37

three there in that lead. Change that

1:27:39

into a score.

1:27:42

I mean, it was just kind of a little

1:27:43

floor in these moments. Four truly

1:27:45

moment

1:27:46

as well.

1:27:48

>> Isn't that nice?

1:27:50

>> I streak over streak as well. Yay. In a

1:27:52

gridlock hard point we go. You're going

1:27:54

to carry those streaks in you to the

1:27:56

next map. Den, that is where you're

1:27:59

trying to get to. Heretics

1:28:02

are closer and closer to finishing this

1:28:03

one out. 63 6 nil now to another

1:28:06

respawn. Tough scenes for them in the

1:28:08

first. Colossus was an absolute beatd

1:28:09

down. The heretics simply too fast. Have

1:28:11

they had their speed checked now on the

1:28:13

run towards Gridlock? It's going to be

1:28:15

an interesting uh map to look at.

1:28:16

Certainly for the AR players, the Miami

1:28:18

Heretics, you're looking to get the

1:28:19

bounce back. It is definitely a map

1:28:21

where the ARs can pop off and fry. Maybe

1:28:23

two hills are going to have the extra

1:28:25

MPCs coming through, but especially just

1:28:28

from the jump can really establish that

1:28:30

dominance. On the flip side, how

1:28:32

rotationheavy this map can be. You know,

1:28:35

Koi, they spoke about it the moment it

1:28:37

got added to the rotation. They were

1:28:38

happy to see it. We mentioned Black Ops

1:28:41

4 for the likes of Insight and Kleenex a

1:28:43

few years back. Very familiar with this

1:28:46

map.

1:28:46

>> Yeah, very much so. Kleenex, a quick

1:28:49

monitor swap, as you can see, taking

1:28:50

place there on stage. We'll get that, as

1:28:52

you can see, getting done pretty

1:28:53

quickly. We should be nearly hot to trot

1:28:56

here, folks. And our wonderful crew here

1:28:58

keeping all of our players in check. Not

1:29:00

only with their hardware, the software,

1:29:02

rules, you name it. Everything good and

1:29:04

insight. Been a champs many times. Been

1:29:06

to a champs grand final as well

1:29:09

there with Toronto Ultra many, many

1:29:11

moons ago. Now under the Koi banner,

1:29:14

Kips trying to keep the boys cool and

1:29:17

they are certainly feeling very

1:29:19

confident after that performance. That

1:29:20

is as good as it gets. he you get to

1:29:22

settle in. Maybe even adjust your

1:29:24

headset as it's popping off the top of

1:29:26

your head. But settle in, get the vibes

1:29:28

flowing, just make it as close to a, you

1:29:31

know, scrim environment that you

1:29:32

possibly can. Practice how you play.

1:29:35

We're ice cold on map number three. And

1:29:37

her now a single map away elimination.

1:29:41

Chance will be coming to an end. Last

1:29:43

chances here for Methods and Lucky to

1:29:46

pass something over to their players

1:29:48

just to help get them over the line.

1:29:50

that little extra 10% that little extra

1:29:52

magic and this is the end of the line

1:29:55

for one of our squads who advances

1:29:57

forward thief G2 or other elimination

1:29:59

match up today and what a shock that is

1:30:03

our rookie of the year our regular

1:30:04

season MVP playing for their lives later

1:30:07

on today against G2

1:30:09

heretics again right now the goal

1:30:11

survive this map get to Den and then

1:30:13

leave nothing behind

1:30:15

>> speaking of rookie of the year you know

1:30:17

if you're looking at guys like Tips

1:30:19

versus Neam It's almost 1 A, 1B. They

1:30:21

have a a great claim to that title, a

1:30:23

great claim to that trophy for either

1:30:25

player. If he keeps looking to make

1:30:27

champs, that sort of separation moment.

1:30:30

Interesting battle cuz he's been

1:30:32

incredible. One of the best SND players

1:30:33

we have in the game for a rookie to be

1:30:35

dominant in any given game mode is

1:30:37

impressive. Obviously, his slaying

1:30:38

numbers and respawn absolutely there.

1:30:41

He's been a shining light for this Koi

1:30:43

team this year. He's looking to be that

1:30:45

guy here in map four. And Kips had big

1:30:48

shoes to fill, a heavy jersey to fill

1:30:52

with the departure of Joe Decemates. And

1:30:55

now I mean fit right into the role.

1:30:57

Absolutely finding himself in a good

1:30:59

place. And that does look like Kleenex

1:31:01

is good to go now. So we'll be

1:31:04

momentarily starting the match.

1:31:07

But for these young players, for these

1:31:08

young rookies, the pressure is immense.

1:31:10

I mean, this is the end of your regular

1:31:12

season and this is the debut

1:31:16

and this has a lot of rookies getting to

1:31:19

the big stage for the first time and

1:31:21

what performances we have seen from all

1:31:23

of them.

1:31:29

You know what that means? Thumbs up. We

1:31:33

are good to go.

1:31:35

We'll

1:31:37

be doing the gritty on gridlock.

1:31:41

We'll find out in a moment. Map number

1:31:44

four. Here we go.

1:31:47

A map Rancor has enjoyed.

1:31:50

Certainly the KD absolutely on point.

1:31:54

1.2 for many players. That would be a

1:31:56

titanic performance.

1:31:59

Don't want to go down with the ship here

1:32:00

though again. Hair heretics. This is

1:32:02

officially back against the wall in the

1:32:04

losers bracket that it's empty. Yeah, it

1:32:07

might hit the fan in this one. Fingers

1:32:09

and toes. Everything's crossed. Can they

1:32:12

survive to Saturday?

1:32:15

Can they survive to another map

1:32:19

in the gridlock? We go. First of 250

1:32:21

points.

1:32:23

And for the heretics, it is a must win

1:32:25

or we say goodbye. Here we go. Map

1:32:28

number four. Elimination on the line.

1:32:30

>> That's the maze. Kits is the only player

1:32:32

that tried to go near the hill and he

1:32:34

survives. He has made it to his home and

1:32:36

well the sort of reset on the mage is

1:32:38

there to get the first blood. Her trying

1:32:40

to bounce right back. He was early and

1:32:42

then he is taken care of exit inside

1:32:44

ripping now at the time. Rank gets

1:32:46

involved real fast. Great damage there

1:32:48

up close and personal. NPC swap. What a

1:32:50

play. The numbers there though should be

1:32:52

good and that's their hard trying to

1:32:54

deal with pinch. Real's going to make it

1:32:55

through. Ice Cream inside knows needs to

1:32:57

press the action forward and successful

1:33:00

complete sight control. Double the

1:33:02

pinch. Fourman wipe and you get to flip

1:33:04

them. Toronto complete control of the

1:33:06

map. Hey up close fees the intel.

1:33:10

Kleenex could be good for that bombs

1:33:12

right now. Positional advantage. You

1:33:13

name it. Three dead instant koi. What a

1:33:15

start. P2 covered as well. Insight's all

1:33:18

over that. They've just alleyooping

1:33:19

them. Hey Kleenex, they're right here.

1:33:21

Go kill him. Here's a sun for you player

1:33:23

number two. That is one of the best P1s

1:33:25

on the gridlock from an opening break we

1:33:27

have seen this year. Oh,

1:33:29

>> Toronto full advantage. Abe continuing

1:33:31

to fry. Inheritics barely shooting back.

1:33:34

Real the only player to live and might

1:33:36

be the last player to fall. See Abe

1:33:39

there in the distance on the hunt is

1:33:40

actually a scattered mini map now. But

1:33:42

boy, they have the rotation to a. Oh

1:33:44

dear. Trying to get himself another set

1:33:46

of streaks, but it's going to be a nice

1:33:47

attack here from the heretics scrolling

1:33:49

across the map. Unfortunate timing from

1:33:50

inside. Damage not there. Real punched

1:33:52

the hole. metals with two. That's your

1:33:54

hard point.

1:33:54

>> Needed that. They have just now turned

1:33:55

for the spawns. A little bit late to the

1:33:57

jump, but going to make it there.

1:34:00

Unfortunately, no trophies this early in

1:34:02

the game. That car does explode. And

1:34:03

look at that. Three nes from three

1:34:06

different Koi players. Devastation for

1:34:09

May. That's as good as it gets. Point

1:34:11

yet again. And scrap time to be had

1:34:13

here. Rotation on Kips. Can he get away

1:34:15

with his life? Oh, he's played it very

1:34:16

well. Sneaky man. Super. There's a hole

1:34:19

in the radar.

1:34:21

Abe though gets caught. Numbers are here

1:34:23

for Koi.

1:34:26

Instant pick up. Kips on a three. Metals

1:34:29

now trying to enter the site. Oh boy. He

1:34:31

finds himself too. So Heretics alive and

1:34:33

well. Yeah, great timing for Metals to

1:34:35

sort of pierce that setup. Timing goes

1:34:36

his way. Heretics need to take this

1:34:38

advantage to get back in the game.

1:34:40

>> Oh, no good. Real holding down that left

1:34:42

lane out of Renfall. Back and forth.

1:34:45

Good enough for the kills. Ko down. Wave

1:34:48

one ineffective. Quax and Z both fall

1:34:50

before the teammates are going to be

1:34:51

there. Now you got the pinch spawns

1:34:52

rolling through. Herics need to kill him

1:34:54

before the pinch is there and they're

1:34:56

reading it to a te. A P3 that has been

1:34:59

gorgeous so far. If you get the final 20

1:35:02

seconds, you will indeed be right back

1:35:03

in this game. Metals the key factor to

1:35:06

get his squad back in the mix. Dancing

1:35:08

causing so many problems. Great damage,

1:35:09

lovely time. Gets another kill. So

1:35:11

that's going to be four now for Metals.

1:35:13

Now that right hand side of the map like

1:35:16

clockwork we go around to the new hard

1:35:18

point. Super is so close to a helltorm

1:35:20

and that's great teamwork and a great

1:35:21

rotation. That lead absolutely cut in

1:35:24

half and then some 20 point gap. Still a

1:35:26

couple players fighting at the old time.

1:35:28

So Super and Rancor need to hold the

1:35:30

line. They have lost the middle of the

1:35:31

map. Going to look a lot of direction. A

1:35:34

trying to pierce that setup. Toronto.

1:35:36

The trades are good. The final two

1:35:37

players for her feeling overwhelmed. No

1:35:39

drive by here on gridlock. Super strict

1:35:42

out. Good damage or Metal then able to

1:35:43

pick up the trades. Gets one.

1:35:47

Here comes the counterattack. In and out

1:35:49

they go. The lineup and the numbers

1:35:51

aren't necessarily here for the

1:35:52

Heretics. Metal doing a lovely job of

1:35:54

staying alive. Here comes the boys and

1:35:55

they're going to try to get back into

1:35:57

time upstairs. Kips for two. That's the

1:35:59

hole. That's a huge pick up. Now you got

1:36:01

to run this score up. No trophies on the

1:36:03

time, but they're getting those

1:36:04

frontline kills. Real sneakily able to

1:36:07

make it, but the trade is instant and

1:36:09

air takes well. Not easy to run through

1:36:11

those days. Got to pick a different

1:36:12

route. A little bit just disconnected

1:36:15

here. The teamwork for Miami. Going to

1:36:17

be the first set of rotations and a 40

1:36:20

45 point lead for Koi. Another one here

1:36:23

for Koi.

1:36:25

That was going to be three dead. But

1:36:26

that's the end of our first set of hard

1:36:27

points. Back over to P1. Heretics very

1:36:29

much need this. Their first go around

1:36:32

very very dry. A worldwide tour. Doesn't

1:36:36

catch the kill inside. Good for the

1:36:37

trades. And now pressure towards the

1:36:39

hard point there. pinch spawns Rancor.

1:36:40

Yeah, too many directions to look. You

1:36:42

just have heretics mismanaging the

1:36:44

spawns off that rotation. Got to be

1:36:47

perfect. And if you're not forced to use

1:36:49

the helltorm super able to secure this

1:36:51

when he was four and n I don't see a

1:36:53

trophy on that time. Got to run for the

1:36:55

hills. Great.

1:36:58

You see the power of the hell now. Real

1:37:00

Metals able to get back in there.

1:37:02

All the information passed over as well.

1:37:04

But here come what a counter attack.

1:37:07

Three dead instantly and back at a time.

1:37:10

>> Yeah, Julian there to make the play.

1:37:12

Finds the one kill in the hell stom to

1:37:14

apply that pressure on the pitch. That

1:37:16

is a hell stom that nets you nothing if

1:37:18

anything negative points and now

1:37:21

rotation towards P2. You're going to be

1:37:22

feeling great. Feeling gorgeous. Got to

1:37:24

find a guy sitting on top of 18. Kleenex

1:37:26

does not quite have the support. A

1:37:28

little bit of a needy moment there, but

1:37:29

Kleenex. Oh, lovely game so far out of

1:37:32

him as he keeps himself alive for as

1:37:33

long as he can. Insight there dealt with

1:37:35

by metals there. PC starting at redhot.

1:37:37

Real will need that ambulance for more

1:37:39

than one reason after that kill. And

1:37:41

metal's back for time. He's desperately

1:37:42

trying to will the boys through this

1:37:43

one. Still a 30point game as Super

1:37:47

from the flank. No good. Kips is in a

1:37:50

cooer on time.

1:37:50

>> Yeah, Heritage, they have had a lot of

1:37:52

difficulty managing these spawns. They

1:37:54

have constantly found themselves in

1:37:56

pinch situations, getting shot in the

1:37:58

back, and you're trying to bail yourself

1:37:59

out of something difficult. Well, you

1:38:01

have the pressure applied. Team kills

1:38:03

start rolling through. They're trying to

1:38:04

manage it and get on the time. Real good

1:38:07

for three in the moment and they clear

1:38:09

out the hill. Finally a moment where you

1:38:11

think you can breathe but for Toronto

1:38:12

that pressure never stops. Great damage

1:38:14

as well. Oh, what a fourth. Final 10 to

1:38:18

go. Scrap. They they sorely need Super

1:38:20

finds himself on a new time. Trophy in

1:38:22

play as well. And you've locked down one

1:38:24

side of it. This trade is essential from

1:38:25

Super and he gets it. That is huge from

1:38:27

the heritage.

1:38:28

>> MP3 was their best hill by a mile. Now

1:38:31

they're in a situation where they start

1:38:33

out with complete control. They can

1:38:35

officially take the lead on this hell.

1:38:36

Real on a four. Medals on a three.

1:38:38

Things are looking good. It's looking

1:38:40

great. Real gets the helltorm streaked

1:38:42

out. Oh, looking for a few more, but

1:38:44

this corner the counter attack in sight

1:38:46

finds two. Last man left alive is

1:38:48

wearing a heretics jersey. And it's

1:38:49

Super again. Oh, he didn't actually go

1:38:51

on towards the hill. So now you got a

1:38:52

full square of a 4v4 battle for the

1:38:54

break. Here we go, boys. Gloves are off.

1:38:56

Trying to send it. Metals with the

1:38:57

first. Kicks goes on the roundabout

1:38:59

tour. catches another. That was on time.

1:39:01

Surely damaged out, but Koi still

1:39:03

fighting. Koi with a break now. Koi with

1:39:05

a listen in.

1:39:06

>> Yeah, I went deep. Freeze

1:39:09

for

1:39:10

>> I need help here. Okay,

1:39:10

>> I'm watching.

1:39:12

>> I don't see anything deepane.

1:39:14

>> They're probably just in there.

1:39:19

>> One could be new, bro. Trying to help

1:39:21

you

1:39:24

ladder ladder ladder.

1:39:27

Top top ladder ladder top. I don't see

1:39:33

I want ice cream. I want ice cream. I

1:39:34

went in front

1:39:44

window too on the freezer on the square

1:39:55

on top.

1:39:57

He's on the top swap back up for

1:39:59

freezer.

1:40:02

I can kill time back door

1:40:06

ladder

1:40:08

stairs. The back door

1:40:15

ice

1:40:17

should

1:40:24

maybe

1:40:26

two

1:40:28

ice cream. Okay, give us

1:40:32

back door.

1:40:33

I don't see him. He's ice cream.

1:40:36

Ice top.

1:40:43

>> Desperation in the listening. Koi ling

1:40:46

to fight their way back in. But what a

1:40:49

lead from the heretics.

1:40:50

>> Oh, here comes the hell stom. Yeah, real

1:40:52

instant on the chunk. You lose the P1.

1:40:55

Time to get it right back.

1:40:57

will be as effective. Metals now being

1:41:00

sent in for the kill. Not going to let

1:41:01

anyone from Koi make their way out of

1:41:02

broken in towards that time. Or will

1:41:05

they? Super on the pinch. Kips now still

1:41:07

trying to keep the play alive. But P1

1:41:08

and he does alongside Abe and that is

1:41:10

it. Ko are in. The P1 has been a

1:41:12

difference maker for Koi. A rare sight

1:41:14

to see. But they have loved this hill

1:41:16

for an ever important rotation. P2

1:41:18

though. It is Heretics here first. Not

1:41:20

quite have the spawn but riome to take

1:41:22

it away. This is the most stable P2

1:41:25

Heretics have had. It is full clearance.

1:41:28

A dreamy setup as the time pops.

1:41:31

Watching out for that lead change.

1:41:34

Here we go through the back left. Mel

1:41:36

swinging. Will the damage he dealt to

1:41:37

those players should slow them down for

1:41:39

a second longer. Lead change now.

1:41:40

Heretics yet again. Now to the dying

1:41:42

moments of the game here on Gridlock.

1:41:44

200 crossed. Poi have got to get moving.

1:41:47

Real presses forward and he might just

1:41:49

be able to cut the back line of pieces.

1:41:51

enough damage in but there's the break.

1:41:53

>> Well, yeah, Toronto with interesting

1:41:54

spawns once again for her going to have

1:41:56

to deal with the pinch and it is going

1:41:57

to be three players trying to hold this

1:41:59

line. You're in between the squad.

1:42:00

Medals not good for enough. Kicks is

1:42:03

there. Good for two. Mismanage spawn.

1:42:05

Punishes them again. Phoenix holding

1:42:07

now. We need to see another big one here

1:42:09

from the heritage just to break. 20

1:42:11

seconds so far. No good. They've held

1:42:13

him bay. Super finding another. Enough

1:42:15

now to get his submachine guns forward.

1:42:17

Here comes Renor and Super downream. And

1:42:19

they both find their kills and the

1:42:21

10second of scrap. And if P2 wasn't

1:42:23

their playground while P3 for heretics

1:42:25

absolutely has been. Aid in between

1:42:27

them. Clean house. And now you got what?

1:42:30

Number six on the pinch. Three players

1:42:32

towards the new time. Heritage can

1:42:33

honestly win the game on this back. He's

1:42:36

setting up now for the win. Are we going

1:42:37

to five? Metals is dancing. 31

1:42:42

looking for number 32. His boys are on

1:42:44

the clock. There we go. The sprees are

1:42:46

on. Here comes the pitch. Renor reads it

1:42:48

now to the front line as the heretics

1:42:50

have somehow held this. The heretics are

1:42:52

holding. Final seconds and it all comes

1:42:55

down to clean and he's lost the fight.

1:42:57

Five for the win. In sight should be

1:43:00

gone as well. We gone to five.

1:43:11

Never say die.

1:43:14

A chance game five with your lives on

1:43:17

the line.

1:43:20

And on a math like gridlock, would you

1:43:22

rather be good at P1 or P3? You take P3

1:43:26

all day. double hell storms at least to

1:43:29

strip away the time on that open hill. A

1:43:32

difference maker towards the ends they

1:43:34

had a very rough start to the map. P3

1:43:37

they bounce right back. I mean super

1:43:38

started 49 does so ends up getting a

1:43:41

helltorm the final few hills of that

1:43:44

map. Heretics hey maybe not completely

1:43:46

on point but not too shabby. the damage

1:43:49

there. 3k for everybody on the Heretics

1:43:52

down the line. Didn't have to outslay by

1:43:55

that much to get that 40point win. Wow,

1:43:57

what a map. To a final we now go. This

1:44:01

is your chance. Our first team

1:44:03

eliminated. We will find out who they

1:44:04

are at the end of the search and

1:44:06

destroy. But that gridlock, what a

1:44:08

comeback from the Heretics. Slow and

1:44:10

steady. The final few back and forths

1:44:13

there. But in the third and final set,

1:44:15

decided,

1:44:17

congratulations to the heretics. You

1:44:19

managed to buy the lifeline. Your eyes

1:44:20

were on the den search and destroy. And

1:44:23

that is now where we find ourselves.

1:44:24

Unbelievable stuff.

1:44:27

The tenacious Spanish squad taking on

1:44:29

another Spanish organization in the form

1:44:31

of Koi. And now one final map in the

1:44:33

series. Before we go to break, Chance,

1:44:36

how you feeling about this?

1:44:37

>> I'm feeling fantastic. There is nothing

1:44:38

better in the world of competitive Call

1:44:40

of Duty than a map number five with

1:44:42

elimination on the line at chance. This

1:44:45

is what we dream of. This is what it's

1:44:46

all about, ladies and gentlemen. On the

1:44:47

other side of the break here, one team

1:44:49

goes home. Our first of many here at

1:44:52

Champs. We'll find out who walks away

1:44:54

with a win and who walks away with an

1:44:56

early flight home after the break.

1:45:05

>> Come on, baby. Let's go. I

1:45:08

>> have a streak. I have a streak. I have a

1:45:09

streak as well.

him. There's two. There's two.

>> Your secret.

1:47:37

>> She's one more. Back to her door. I know

1:47:39

your secret. Secret

1:47:41

one. Back the one shot.

1:47:42

>> Holy Eric.

1:47:44

>> Nice one.

1:47:45

Nice.

1:47:47

Good story, man. He can't kill me. What

1:47:48

the freak?

1:47:54

>> Cracked.

1:47:55

>> Don't play with this guy, bro.

1:47:58

>> Wait, that's me.

1:48:00

>> Chad, I'm in the bottom right. That's

1:48:01

me.

1:48:06

>> I'm on the broadcast.

1:48:11

>> He did it again,

1:48:12

>> Jack. That was me.

1:48:15

Oh my god. No way.

1:48:19

>> That's what he wants to do.

1:48:20

>> Okay, bro.

1:48:22

>> It's me.

1:48:23

>> Okay, that's how that's how the series

1:48:24

ends. Okay.

1:48:25

>> Oh my god.

1:48:27

>> Here come the Falcons.

1:48:30

Are we

1:48:31

>> booing?

1:48:32

>> Yeah, we're booing. How aggressive.

1:48:36

>> All right. Yeah.

1:48:39

>> Is that good? Yeah.

1:48:42

Look at AG.

1:48:44

>> He's smiling, taking it all in.

1:48:45

>> Yeah, he's walking on like he's a

1:48:47

puppet.

1:48:48

>> Yo, AG is so funny, bro.

1:48:51

>> He comes up right behind him. Oh god.

1:48:56

>> Perch is dropped. Beans is the clutch

1:48:58

god

1:49:00

and he's got a message.

1:49:05

>> This guy don't play for the win.

1:49:07

>> What? This is criminal. What was that?

1:49:11

>> Not play for the win.

1:49:12

>> What? Why is he laying down though?

1:49:13

>> Cuz he don't play for the win. I get

1:49:15

>> Hey, Ken. You know, you know where you

1:49:16

died from?

1:49:16

>> This guy is not real.

1:49:18

>> What What do we call that out? Cuz I

1:49:19

knew you was there the whole time.

1:49:20

>> This color barrel.

1:49:22

>> A final map to decide who walks away

1:49:24

with a win here. And who goes home a

1:49:25

little bit early? Ladies and gentlemen,

1:49:26

welcome back to COD Champs. It is our

1:49:28

first elimination matchup of the day.

1:49:31

And we're going to a fifth and final to

1:49:33

Den here at the Mish Love Ultra Arena.

1:49:35

And things are getting spicy already.

1:49:37

Mr. Rashworth and I will be taking you

1:49:39

through this last one. How you feeling?

1:49:41

>> At first I thought we were getting ready

1:49:42

to dig some graves with these sounds.

1:49:44

Turns out we're getting funky for this

1:49:46

map five. It's going to be a den, a

1:49:48

long-term map that we have seen. Very

1:49:51

interesting to see the dynamic. This is

1:49:53

a map where if you were looking at Super

1:49:54

Snipes, he was legit all over the map.

1:49:57

Aside, roofside, middle of the map,

1:49:59

bottom side, in his spawn, in their

1:50:01

spawn, doesn't matter. Wild stuff. But

1:50:02

that has been a very different search

1:50:04

and destroy dynamic that we have seen at

1:50:06

this tournament. heretics have struggled

1:50:08

in Toronto at least in the map two fully

1:50:10

capitalized you had a three bomb plants

1:50:12

doubledigit kills had the 1 v one clutch

1:50:15

just to kickstart things and see if the

1:50:17

rookies can continue to have that ice

1:50:19

well the rookies again it's the first

1:50:20

chance for Kips and AP here and the

1:50:22

nerves are certainly starting to kick in

1:50:23

the last listening we had in that

1:50:25

gridlock hardpoint it started to get a

1:50:27

little nervy there was a real air of you

1:50:28

know panic I think is the best way to

1:50:30

describe it trying to will the boys over

1:50:32

the win but super and the rest of the

1:50:34

heretics simply too strong there chance

1:50:36

nerves a serious factor, especially

1:50:38

going into a fifth and final map.

1:50:40

>> Extremely rare in the Toronto camp since

1:50:42

their debut in the CDL, no matter what

1:50:44

roster combination they have to really

1:50:46

hear stress in their voices. Maybe you

1:50:49

stress calm something, but no, the nerve

1:50:52

is going to be on full display. And on

1:50:53

the flip side, you know, it's going to

1:50:54

be there for this squad in the exact

1:50:57

same fashion. Land has been a struggle

1:51:00

for this team all year. It drops

1:51:03

arguably their best player to try to get

1:51:05

that old juice back and see if it's

1:51:07

going to be paying off for you in this

1:51:09

type of environment. A good performance

1:51:11

in champs can make up for your gear. It

1:51:14

can justify everything.

1:51:18

>> A little delay here as we get something

1:51:20

up with Renor there. But yeah, we've

1:51:21

made a big change in the heretics camp.

1:51:24

Real starting to very much look like

1:51:26

that player they wanted back in. And

1:51:28

this is the gridlock. Quick highlights

1:51:29

before we get into our fifth and final.

1:51:31

and Record. A lot of criticism received

1:51:34

over the weekend, but fighting with

1:51:36

absolutely everything they've got there

1:51:37

will find the win against the squad who

1:51:39

had the lead for 80% of the game. I

1:51:42

mean, great results to go down 60

1:51:44

points. Feels like a nightmare

1:51:46

situation. Everything clicking for Koi.

1:51:48

This is obviously following up on the

1:51:50

overload where Koi slammed them. So,

1:51:53

great resolve, great bounce back, double

1:51:55

health forms getting earned. Real making

1:51:57

plays and honestly dealing with a ton of

1:51:59

chaos. You had her struggling to sort of

1:52:02

manage every single hill. But this P3 is

1:52:05

where they were truly able to lock it

1:52:06

down and win every single gunfight. But

1:52:08

in the chaos is apparently where the

1:52:10

Spanish survive. Spaniards again finding

1:52:13

wonderful success there with the

1:52:15

streaks. Their score streak performance

1:52:17

so far. Very have one in nearly every

1:52:20

parkour we played so far. Colossus great

1:52:23

fourth. Gridlock pretty good as well,

1:52:24

but assertions strong gridlock didn't

1:52:27

necessarily go their way. Den though

1:52:28

back to old ways. back to season one or

1:52:30

major one. They were an incredibly

1:52:32

strong team. Super looking like one of

1:52:34

the best players of the world. Can he

1:52:35

get back into that form right now? Can

1:52:36

we see some of that magic?

1:52:39

And this is it.

1:52:41

Will they be the last bumps of the

1:52:42

tournament as these boys get into it one

1:52:45

last time? Toronto Koi Miami Heretics

1:52:50

elimination on the line.

1:52:54

We go to Den one last time.

1:53:00

Take a look at those map fives.

1:53:02

>> Maybe only four of them rolling through

1:53:05

for Koi in this moment, but that is an

1:53:07

elite KD. Fantastic damage he is dishing

1:53:10

out per round. And very efficient. High

1:53:14

expectations for the younger players and

1:53:16

a fourman a hit off the rim. You do not

1:53:18

see this often. Who do we see though on

1:53:20

the other side?

1:53:22

No snipe yet. I'm not sure if that will

1:53:24

change out most likely. Here come

1:53:26

reinforce Africa 15 CW across the rest

1:53:28

of the map. Now Sher on the shoulder

1:53:30

trying to get themselves inside the bomb

1:53:31

site. Klein from the rooftops now. First

1:53:34

man to make some contact. 3 2 1 Maybe

1:53:37

not

1:53:39

as Koi have held this. Waiting for the

1:53:43

damage kit. Can you get something here?

1:53:44

A joins with the feed. The rooftop lost

1:53:46

on the inside of the site. A blood bath.

1:53:49

Insight

1:53:51

late to the party here.

1:53:59

At one point in time, the king of clutch

1:54:02

in the COD world, there was always a

1:54:05

fighting chance.

1:54:07

And this time, the fight has been blown

1:54:10

out of him. What a nay. Look at this

1:54:13

pressure.

1:54:18

Heretics take the first for medals. He

1:54:21

was the man that needed to get traded by

1:54:23

that a sight in small room. Instead of

1:54:25

getting traded, he gives you two real

1:54:28

there for the other cleanups. And a

1:54:31

beautiful round. You're thinking if

1:54:32

you're koi first round, no trophies,

1:54:35

open space, fourman hit, trying to hit

1:54:38

that go button while they get stopped in

1:54:40

their tracks. Herics able to get

1:54:42

everybody in the right positions and boy

1:54:45

unable to make that confident play.

1:54:46

Heritage show just enough firepower to

1:54:49

keep those those Toronto players out of

1:54:51

the bomb site. Keep them on the

1:54:52

rooftops. Slowly pick them apart.

1:54:56

Miami now on the attack towards B. We're

1:54:58

going for a couple of players there

1:54:59

through the middle of the map. Reno with

1:55:00

the coverage. Nobody shown and Koi big

1:55:03

presence now on the bombite. The ran in

1:55:05

position. You have midm on lock.

1:55:09

Any player on Toronto that has a misstep

1:55:11

maybe gets punished. But now we're

1:55:13

committing towards this B site. Real in

1:55:15

position.

1:55:16

Nearly everybody here. They're taking

1:55:18

their time to figure out what they want

1:55:19

to do. Real has all the space in the

1:55:22

world. He has done this for free. It's a

1:55:24

change of plans. He might get caught in

1:55:25

the middle of the map by bomb.

1:55:28

The metals now close and personal.

1:55:30

Rehal. What a spot this is. Not able to

1:55:32

get the save his teammate back. Get the

1:55:34

trade immediately. Super lovely shot.

1:55:36

Stays alive.

1:55:38

But now the bomb is in some serious

1:55:40

trouble.

1:55:42

>> Heretics waiting for the pounce through

1:55:43

the middle of the map. 25 on the clock.

1:55:48

There's the pressure. Looking for the

1:55:50

check. Abe stays alive. Now it's 3v2.

1:55:52

Koi with the numbers. Rancor staying

1:55:54

alive. And the mid-match damage has

1:55:56

already been dealt. And there it is.

1:55:57

Super. The big lineup. Back to

1:56:00

backgrounds for the heretics.

1:56:01

>> And Toronto can just not decide what

1:56:03

they want to do. Hop the bomb. Don't hop

1:56:05

the bomb. Kids is flying out towards

1:56:07

mid. There is no backup.

1:56:13

pressure will either make diamonds or it

1:56:15

will break you. Shining in the first two

1:56:18

rounds.

1:56:18

>> Super hump hop there to just to get the

1:56:20

last man.

1:56:22

>> The second kill was nice enough to

1:56:23

defeat Abe as he was trying to hit the

1:56:25

diffuse.

1:56:28

Gets himself a nice little three spree

1:56:30

going into the third round.

1:56:32

And again, score streaks have been very

1:56:36

very acquirable by the Heritage so far.

1:56:39

Here goes a what a push. This is

1:56:44

a lot of information gain.

1:56:48

>> Reno the lone man over there by the bomb

1:56:50

site. We should see this plant. Insight

1:56:51

is in a world of trouble here. Find a

1:56:53

corner and hope for the best.

1:56:55

>> Just caught doesn't shoot back. They do

1:56:58

not have the sol right now. Not a good

1:57:01

for one. Gets away for a second but

1:57:03

there's the kill box in the middle of

1:57:04

the map. Kleenex backs up 2v2.

1:57:06

>> He's taking dojo. Toronto players very

1:57:08

split. Heretics players right next to

1:57:10

each other.

1:57:10

>> You're hoping for something special

1:57:11

here. A bit of magic there from Kleenex.

1:57:14

Eyes unleashed on two.

1:57:17

Here comes Kips.

1:57:19

Intel passed over. We're going to try to

1:57:20

isolate the gunfights. Kips

1:57:23

gets it done. 15 to go. Renor trying to

1:57:25

make something happen.

1:57:32

Kleenex good for the check. Koi on the

1:57:35

board. Yeah, a toxic crowd. But either

1:57:37

way, with 15 seconds left, Kleenex knows

1:57:40

the timing he needs to go for.

1:57:43

>> Had that under lock and key and nice

1:57:45

response. Toronto needed it. Little bit

1:57:48

disconnected. He's been away three

1:57:50

lives. Couple pain points, but they

1:57:52

still delivered. I'm always worried

1:57:53

about those Koi, you know, 2v1

1:57:55

situations. Kips is on one side of the

1:57:57

map, KX on the other. We've seen a few

1:57:59

of those in search so far, and it is a

1:58:01

gamble.

1:58:03

Heretics unable to overwhelm in the 2v1.

1:58:05

Certainly hurts in the end. Up 2-1 in

1:58:08

game five

1:58:10

and this time Heretics moved away.

1:58:12

>> No defenders here for Toronto and not at

1:58:14

all. Super

1:58:17

watch the flank now for a moment longer.

1:58:19

There's the stun effect.

1:58:22

And Koi are very much out of position

1:58:24

here. No plan as of yet. We're waiting

1:58:26

for the kills and it's reminiscent of

1:58:28

round one. They're looking they're

1:58:30

trying to square up and hit the back

1:58:32

spawn now. Everybody just got hit by a

1:58:34

nade. Couldn't decide what they wanted

1:58:36

to do. Instant punishment for the first

1:58:38

blood. They're waiting on Super to go on

1:58:40

this pitch. A lack of action. They

1:58:41

really hurt you. Heretics now down a

1:58:42

man. Super down and out. It's a 4v2.

1:58:47

Real back over to the bomb site. No bomb

1:58:49

in hand. Renor alongside him. Yeah. Make

1:58:52

this happen.

1:58:54

>> Oh dear. They're going to be No. Oh,

1:58:55

good god. This could get real bad for

1:58:57

the heritage. Ideally, you'd like to

1:58:59

find a pick before you go for the plant,

1:59:01

but nothing's cooking. Going to be

1:59:02

forced to try to hold this one down.

1:59:05

>> And whether or not you now know they're

1:59:06

coming through the rooftops, it doesn't

1:59:08

matter. Renor, they're good for one kit.

1:59:10

We'll see him in a moment. Real. What

1:59:12

damage?

1:59:14

They team up and Insight has taken

1:59:16

enough damage. This might go his way.

1:59:18

Renor gone. 30 seconds. Kips the tail

1:59:21

end of Toronto. Koi on the diffuse.

1:59:24

>> Needed the numbers, but they had the

1:59:25

numbers for the 4v2. trades were good.

1:59:29

Corn Royale doing the right thing,

1:59:30

making the plays together, got to cook

1:59:33

something up. But ultimately, it was

1:59:34

just that first decision. You had

1:59:36

Insight in the back spawn. It looked

1:59:38

like Heretics were trying to say like a,

1:59:40

"Hey, 3 2 1 go. Let's run him over

1:59:42

instead of frag grenade lands at your

1:59:45

feet, kills the entire play." McCoy able

1:59:49

to capitalize and tie this thing up 22.

1:59:51

>> Tough thing with the roof. Yeah, you

1:59:52

don't have a lot of space to work with

1:59:54

grouping up like that. Your spacing is

1:59:56

incredibly important.

1:59:59

Kudos again to Koi for not throwing as

2:00:01

many lethals at the start of the round.

2:00:02

So you have them to play with

2:00:05

essential for the retakes, especially on

2:00:06

that a bomb site. Not this round. That

2:00:09

looks like two frags over the top. No

2:00:11

connection.

2:00:14

We're going to be

2:00:16

a mid. You have the dream setup. Dear

2:00:20

her all the space in the world. They

2:00:22

have backed Koi completely down and

2:00:25

stopped that initial play in its tracks.

2:00:26

>> Despite that, I mean, it looked like Koi

2:00:28

were winning the gunfight.

2:00:30

A hit point advantage to work with. And

2:00:31

now straight up to A. I mean, from B to

2:00:33

A. Renor on the smooth move across map.

2:00:36

And here come the rest of his teammates.

2:00:37

>> Well, Heretics are here first entirely

2:00:39

ready for this pressure.

2:00:41

>> But is it a fake? Are we going back

2:00:43

over? We might as well be. Real in

2:00:45

position by B though.

2:00:48

a thorn

2:00:50

in the side of Koi that they're going to

2:00:52

run across momentarily.

2:00:54

They find this trade effectively. Maybe

2:00:56

a bit of timing goes their way. And oh

2:00:58

boy, there's the lads. Here we go. Real,

2:01:00

show us what you're made of. And it's

2:01:02

1v4.

2:01:04

Good for the damage. Now the smoke

2:01:05

finally treats him a little better. But

2:01:06

with the first blood, it's a pinch now

2:01:08

developing. Insight. Timing good. Timing

2:01:10

great. We'll see. Bomb plant. And the

2:01:12

perfect pinch right now for the

2:01:13

heretics. They have got to find a kill.

2:01:15

Oh, what a win.

2:01:17

Aim in the dojo

2:01:20

gets another last man. Renor gone.

2:01:24

Koi take the lead.

2:01:29

Nothing happier for the players on Koi

2:01:31

when it is just isolated gunfight after

2:01:34

isolated gunfight.

2:01:37

Honestly, the key one being insight on

2:01:39

medals. He was down to 9 HP. If he loses

2:01:42

that, that round could break, but he

2:01:44

converts it. Give you the 4v2. You add

2:01:46

the extra numbers. Three rounds in a row

2:01:49

for Toronto.

2:01:50

>> The lead change

2:01:52

at a moment now to test the resolve of

2:01:54

the Heretics.

2:01:56

You started off so strong.

2:01:59

We've slowed right down again. Something

2:02:01

has got to give.

2:02:06

A narrow dodge by Super there. Nobody

2:02:10

home. Three there. Players for Koi. Over

2:02:12

by D. now making their way back through

2:02:14

the middle of the map

2:02:14

>> in the situation where we saw heretics

2:02:16

have success on offense was getting real

2:02:18

up into position the late me bomb play

2:02:21

problem is super is the guy that's

2:02:22

actually watching the pinch right now

2:02:24

and he has the bomb over commitments on

2:02:26

the defensive end for Toronto a little

2:02:28

bit of presence over towards dojo seems

2:02:31

like in the right spots another corner

2:02:34

foul that oh the timing on kicks an

2:02:38

opening win trade immediately but that's

2:02:40

the other side of the map it's not on

2:02:41

the bomb site so Still the numbers here

2:02:43

for Koi. To away we go.

2:02:46

>> And now you have Real watching the cross

2:02:47

of the A bomb site through the dragon

2:02:49

side. This is a free A bomb plant if you

2:02:51

want to make this commitment. It seems

2:02:52

like heretics are just trying to catch

2:02:54

them on rotation. Now it's going to be a

2:02:56

possibly a two or 3 v one in this

2:02:58

situation.

2:03:00

Clock starting to tick. Koi keeping

2:03:03

their options open by both bomb sites.

2:03:05

Kips gets the early intel. Even gets

2:03:07

damage onto that player. So Real is now

2:03:08

going to make a move. And he makes a

2:03:10

move right to the grave. Renor 15

2:03:13

seconds to play and a 1v2.

2:03:17

Trying to make it a 1 v one. He does not

2:03:19

have the time. Can he get there with 5

2:03:21

seconds?

2:03:23

It's not enough. Here comes a 4-2.

2:03:32

A lot of pressure in this elimination

2:03:34

match. A setup on the mini map where

2:03:37

you're watching the cross. You know all

2:03:39

those players in dojo. You get a free

2:03:41

bomb plant over towards a fearful to

2:03:44

make that commitment and Toronto that is

2:03:46

now four rounds in a row.

2:03:50

>> They are happy to take these gifts

2:03:51

>> and it's a gamble they don't take. They

2:03:54

don't know how many players are on the

2:03:55

Bomb. They think they can, you know,

2:03:56

wait for somebody to make a mistake. No,

2:03:58

you had a free and open sight. You just

2:04:00

didn't know. 4-2 Heretics. They are

2:04:04

hemorrhaging here in map five.

2:04:09

3-1 on the defensive split. B is stacked

2:04:11

right now with Miami players

2:04:14

in sight. Saw plenty there to pass the

2:04:16

boys over some information. What an aid

2:04:18

from Metals.

2:04:20

First blood needed that for a little bit

2:04:21

of momentum. Toronto players now grouped

2:04:23

up together dealing with a single rank

2:04:25

where he spots out the information and

2:04:27

able to back down. He's going to have

2:04:29

super here for the support. Can they be

2:04:31

fast enough and decisive enough to get

2:04:32

the plant? It might be the case. Number

2:04:34

once again waiting for these snakes to

2:04:35

connect and they are. Kips has eaten a

2:04:37

ton. Here we go. Heretics in. Oh, the

2:04:40

gun is there. All of a fall. Metals

2:04:42

holds the line. Makes it a 2v one. And

2:04:45

Kleenex now

2:04:47

in a tough situation.

2:04:50

Surrounded on all sides with the COD

2:04:53

gods have smiled upon him for a second,

2:04:56

but no more.

2:04:58

Heretics, their prayers answered. Medals

2:05:01

the hero for his team in another round.

2:05:05

He opened it up. He was that key factor

2:05:06

in round one. Picked up the two-piece in

2:05:09

small room by the bomb site. And in this

2:05:11

round, well, he pops off again. Peach

2:05:13

had been made for the first blood. The

2:05:15

follow up by the bomb site bailed them

2:05:18

out. I mean, they were squaring up for

2:05:20

the challenge, but you see Toronto

2:05:22

entirely ready for that play, playing

2:05:25

the tendencies of the heretics players.

2:05:27

The last man standing, good for two, and

2:05:30

helps you secure that round.

2:05:31

>> Oh, that metal iron boots on the ground.

2:05:34

No jumps to be found there. And that was

2:05:37

all in slow motion as well. So what a

2:05:38

fast moment.

2:05:41

Four to three heretics.

2:05:43

A glimmer of hope here in game five.

2:05:46

>> Oh, Toronto have read this though. What

2:05:47

a play called defensively.

2:05:49

>> Snipe though. The super connect. No,

2:05:51

it's going away from over the top. A cut

2:05:54

to pieces. Medals. Look at him fly. Look

2:05:57

at him saw the stun connection as well.

2:05:59

Everything is going his way so far. And

2:06:01

the damage on the Kleenex is

2:06:02

unbelievable in this 3v3.

2:06:07

His teammates though waiting to get

2:06:09

involved. It is metals right now. The

2:06:12

absolute flat end of the hammer bashing

2:06:14

his way right through the Toronto Koi

2:06:16

lineup. He's cleared the whole site on

2:06:18

his own. He's found another kill. It's

2:06:21

five in a row. Here comes Ria on the

2:06:24

flank. Big damage.

2:06:26

Send in metals to maybe finish the job.

2:06:28

Is he rid the flank? He hasn't. Kleenex

2:06:31

traded out down to Insight. One v2 one v

2:06:36

one

2:06:40

44 here in game five. This mounting

2:06:44

pressure is creating situations we have

2:06:47

not seen this year in SG.

2:06:51

I mean it felt like Metals had repellent

2:06:54

in that round as he starts to push

2:06:56

forth. The Koi players just not even

2:06:58

spotting him running away. Kips flying

2:07:01

out through tree long before his

2:07:03

teammates were there for the followup.

2:07:06

This is chaos here in map five.

2:07:12

Attacking round for Toronto.

2:07:16

Now you start to ask questions. Where do

2:07:17

you want to go, boys?

2:07:20

Bomb looking a little nice. The nat of

2:07:23

this broken window have been so lethal.

2:07:26

Speaking of lethal, there's Kleenex.

2:07:28

First blood on the smoke.

2:07:31

Dodge the nades. Check all the usual

2:07:33

spots. This is no surprise. Wicked work

2:07:36

from Real.

2:07:38

Wow, the damage from the Kleenex and

2:07:39

he's gone as well. 2v2.

2:07:45

>> An adjustment to recovery now. Ki

2:07:47

survive.

2:07:51

No pressure found from the Heretics as

2:07:52

of yet. They hold.

2:07:55

They know they can isolate is isolate

2:07:57

real.

2:07:59

>> Well, now he's able to slip out, get out

2:08:01

of dodge, and you have not seen Rancor

2:08:03

in a hot minute. Rancor loves the P2

2:08:05

pin. One way or another, it's a 2v1. How

2:08:08

fast could Cory react to this? How fast

2:08:09

can they try to take the initiative?

2:08:11

Heretics happy to sit this one out and

2:08:13

wait. The clock is on their side.

2:08:18

Real still eyes up trying to make

2:08:21

something happen. And Aid walks right

2:08:22

into moving traffic. Five spree for

2:08:24

Real.

2:08:26

Insight now alone.

2:08:29

Makes it a 1 v one with 10 seconds to

2:08:31

spare. Renor now finds his way up.

2:08:35

You got to check this. A shoulder

2:08:36

spotted.

2:08:38

No time. No one v one.

2:08:41

Match point. Miami.

2:08:51

Attack from above.

2:08:55

>> Koi.

2:08:57

>> Suffocated

2:08:59

by far the time in that round.

2:09:05

Neither team willing to take a gamble

2:09:07

and take a risk.

2:09:08

>> Well, Heretics are a team willing to

2:09:10

take the risk. How about this? Straight

2:09:11

through the middle. Maton player trying

2:09:13

to dodge these nades. Real all the space

2:09:16

in the world. He is spotted down low.

2:09:18

Maybe that's enough to slow everything

2:09:20

down. The maid's up top, but we are

2:09:23

repositioning

2:09:25

towards the bomb site. This might be a

2:09:27

late A approach for heretics. That show

2:09:30

of force through the middle of the map.

2:09:31

Just a ruse. The fluidity, the

2:09:34

confidence, they're willing to make a

2:09:35

move across the map.

2:09:37

Playing so free right now. Miami. Now,

2:09:40

how decisively can we take the bomb

2:09:41

site? Part of by the tree will start to

2:09:44

push through. That has made his way onto

2:09:45

side with bomb causing a bit of damage

2:09:47

now.

2:09:49

>> Super on the wide pick.

2:09:52

Damage is there. Insight battling

2:09:53

forward. Super now suppressed. Heretics

2:09:56

forced out of the bomb site with no bomb

2:09:58

in their hand. I mean this is a P4 setup

2:10:00

for Toronto defensively except it's an

2:10:02

incredibly tight setup. A nervy moment

2:10:04

reality between a couple players.

2:10:06

There's the throw away of the line. A

2:10:07

3v3. The followup is good. Heritage with

2:10:10

the man advantage.

2:10:10

>> 25 seconds though. Same problem you've

2:10:12

got again. Worrying about the time,

2:10:13

worrying about the route. 20 seconds on

2:10:15

the clock. Here comes the plant. A

2:10:16

retake position. And Koi might have been

2:10:19

red here. Are we playing for the

2:10:21

guarantees? Kleenex

2:10:24

first man forward.

2:10:28

Shooter. Shoot. And it's 2v3. Heretics

2:10:31

with the advantage. It's a long time duo

2:10:33

working together. One last time. Insight

2:10:36

on the clutch. A 1 v3 with an abuse and

2:10:40

it's over.

2:10:44

Miami Heretics

2:10:47

seal it in game five.

2:11:00

Many questions asked and they finally

2:11:03

give you the goods there when you needed

2:11:04

it the most.

2:11:10

A tough one for Koi. Their run and

2:11:12

champs barely begun. For the young

2:11:16

rookies, their debut here, it will end

2:11:18

in tears.

2:11:20

But inside Kleenex who have been here

2:11:23

many times before, this will be one they

2:11:25

hope to forget.

2:11:28

Just breaking him down four rounds in a

2:11:30

row. Shout out to the man getting

2:11:33

brought back to the roster in real.

2:11:34

dropped 11 kills there in that map five.

2:11:38

Jubilation and victory, agony and

2:11:41

defeat.

2:11:41

>> Fortune favors the bold and metals. He

2:11:43

was the the boldest, the bravest in the

2:11:46

lobby in those last few rounds, just

2:11:48

prying forward into the lineup in

2:11:50

Toronto, trying pushing their defense,

2:11:52

trying to find space to play with. And

2:11:53

he found it every single time. The kills

2:11:55

were there, but just the space he's

2:11:57

taking, he's giving his teammates an

2:11:59

opportunity to make a play. He really

2:12:00

was the difference in that map five.

2:12:02

What an unbelievable map from the young

2:12:04

man.

2:12:06

And what a turn.

2:12:09

Real with the big 11 across the board.

2:12:12

It's just the first bloods though. You

2:12:14

had three first bloods as a whole for

2:12:17

Heretics and they were still able to

2:12:19

convert that to a win. It is survival.

2:12:22

The game we are playing in the losers

2:12:24

bracket. At least there heretics well

2:12:27

starting to shape up. 6-4 final score

2:12:30

and a 3-2 for the Miami Heretics to

2:12:33

advance further into champs here in Las

2:12:35

Vegas. We say a fond farewell to Toronto

2:12:39

Koi, our first team eliminated here in

2:12:41

the tournament. And after that, Den, a

2:12:44

swing in momentum, a shift in the

2:12:46

confidence for the squad. It was not

2:12:48

there.

2:12:50

You have survived to fight another day

2:12:53

Miami. What a performance. What a map

2:12:56

out of those boys. Still not a single

2:12:58

snipe here. I think all like in in both

2:13:01

of those not a single shot.

2:13:04

>> Very few in this entire tournament

2:13:05

ahead. New search and destroy a dynamic.

2:13:07

If they didn't gain five wins like that,

2:13:08

it pays off. Who needs the snipes? You

2:13:11

got a real There you go. While Real man

2:13:13

of the moment in the final map there, a

2:13:14

big 11 kills. He joins Blaze on stage.

2:13:18

>> Don't worry, Miles. I was looking for

2:13:19

the snipes as well, but we didn't get

2:13:21

them. But we did get them. Miami

2:13:23

victory. Show him some love everybody as

2:13:26

I got real with me on the main stage and

2:13:29

my god the series was a back and forth

2:13:32

battle. It was definitely a lot of

2:13:33

questions in there but just talk to me

2:13:35

initially like how does it feel to be

2:13:37

able to take down your old school your

2:13:39

old squad and still be in this

2:13:40

tournament right now?

2:13:41

>> I it feels amazing. You know they

2:13:43

dropped me at the beginning of the year.

2:13:44

We need to make a change. It is what it

2:13:46

is. But it feels great.

2:13:47

>> Yeah, definitely feels great to be back

2:13:49

with them. And you know when it comes

2:13:51

down to this Miami team, you guys have

2:13:53

had some struggles in the search and

2:13:54

destroy and we saw it in this series as

2:13:56

well, but you know towards the map five.

2:13:59

Okay. It looked like it was some moments

2:14:00

there where you guys were kind of

2:14:01

confused on what you want to do. How was

2:14:03

it from your perspective and who made

2:14:04

the last call to push you there through

2:14:06

roofs on the round 10?

2:14:07

>> Uh I feel like our issuing right now

2:14:09

we're way better than we are way better

2:14:11

than what we're showing. It's just like

2:14:13

I feel like on the second map for

2:14:14

example, we were just like getting first

2:14:15

loss and over rotating. We're just

2:14:17

giving up at like bone sides and okay

2:14:19

we're making it hard for ourselves which

2:14:20

makes no sense but we're going to

2:14:22

improve for sure and I I don't know who

2:14:24

made the last goal to push out there to

2:14:25

be honest I I can't remember now you

2:14:27

guys are making it difficult but how are

2:14:29

you going to make it easier on yourself

2:14:30

going into this next series cuz you

2:14:32

still have that possibility of hoisting

2:14:34

this trophy. Champs is still going for

2:14:36

you guys and you're still going to be

2:14:37

here to play for another day. So how are

2:14:39

you guys going to get on that same page

2:14:40

so we can see that Miami that we saw at

2:14:42

the end of last year playing at champs

2:14:44

in EWC? Honestly, I feel like we just

2:14:46

needed a win like this like to get some

2:14:47

confidence going because I feel like we

2:14:49

were kind of like tweaking because we

2:14:51

haven't won in I don't know how long,

2:14:53

like a month and a half. So, I feel like

2:14:55

you know what they say, all you need is

2:14:56

one.

2:14:56

>> Yeah.

2:14:57

>> And we're going to keep it rolling.

2:14:58

>> You got to keep it rolling. All right.

2:15:00

And so, as we get ready to keep this

2:15:02

tournament rolling, what do you want to

2:15:03

say out there to the fans that's been

2:15:05

supporting the Miami Heretics? You can

2:15:08

speak in English, you can speak in

2:15:09

Spanish, but what do you want to say to

2:15:11

the group of people who are continuing

2:15:12

to support you guys through champs?

2:15:14

>> Also in Spanish

2:15:22

here on the main stage with Real and the

2:15:24

Miami Heretics. That's going to do it

2:15:26

for us on the stage. Chris, take it

2:15:28

away.

2:15:29

>> Thank you very much, Bla1. And

2:15:30

congratulations to the Heretics. After

2:15:33

losing at the end of last night, you do

2:15:35

not have a lot of time to prepare. We

2:15:37

actually saw them out kind of joined up

2:15:39

as a group around a table discussing

2:15:42

things. Seems like they haven't figured

2:15:44

out all of their search and destroy

2:15:45

issues, but they're better than Toronto

2:15:48

Koi on this day.

2:15:49

>> They got one and that's all that matters

2:15:50

at the end of the day because it's going

2:15:52

to give them another lifeline. And even

2:15:53

though it was messy, if anything, they

2:15:55

got a lot of VA to review.

2:15:56

>> Miami Heretics are now powering into the

2:15:58

top six. And what does that mean for

2:15:59

them? Well, you doubled up your prize

2:16:01

pool from 40,000. You are now guaranteed

2:16:04

$80,000 deal. as we take a look at this

2:16:06

game highlights. Walk me through kind of

2:16:09

the slop I mean slugfest that we saw

2:16:11

here in search and destroy.

2:16:12

>> What you were saying is actually right.

2:16:13

It was pretty sloppy from both teams.

2:16:15

Miami I love the early round aggression.

2:16:17

They were taking map control. The one

2:16:18

thing they weren't doing they were not

2:16:19

putting the bomb down quick enough when

2:16:21

in control of the map late round though

2:16:23

they did end up cludging. Toronto they

2:16:25

had a few moments where they were

2:16:26

hesitating and Miami took advantage of

2:16:27

that.

2:16:28

>> Yeah, I think all the X versus X

2:16:29

situations, 2v2s, 3v3s, 1 v1's like

2:16:32

Miami just did a great job and you know

2:16:33

they're a team that they'll split up.

2:16:35

They won't always play together and you

2:16:36

know Toronto with a few mistakes. Miami

2:16:38

just capitalizing on it in some of these

2:16:40

skirmishes. Like D said the one thing

2:16:42

like positive you can take away is like

2:16:44

they're confident. They're taking that

2:16:45

space. Offensively would have liked to

2:16:47

see them put the bomb down a bit earlier

2:16:49

but once again in the clutch situations

2:16:51

they were just making great plays.

2:16:52

>> It was so fun to watch here. Ally

2:16:54

towards the end it was 44. What did you

2:16:56

see as the closer?

2:16:57

>> I just saw some really good picks from

2:16:58

side May heritics. They didn't slow

2:17:00

down. They stuck with the aggression. I

2:17:01

mean we saw Real completely fullended up

2:17:03

mid. He didn't end up finding a kill,

2:17:04

but even just the sight of that if

2:17:06

you're on the other side on a boy, like

2:17:08

you have to back down in that situation

2:17:10

when your back's against the wall. And

2:17:11

Miami, they thrive in that chaos. And I

2:17:13

feel like I really want to give a shout

2:17:14

out to real medals. The SMGs on the side

2:17:16

of Miami Heritage really showed out this

2:17:18

series. I feel like we've been kind of

2:17:19

waiting for that. And we all know the

2:17:20

story. Medals is having a good series.

2:17:22

Miami Heretics is like teams and the

2:17:25

most impressive in this series was the

2:17:27

hard point simply because of the matchup

2:17:29

and that they were on the losing end of

2:17:30

respawn versus Toronto Koi. This is

2:17:32

definitely Miami, a heretics exceeding

2:17:34

expectations.

2:17:35

>> I love the passion you're seeing on both

2:17:37

sides of the stage for Queen X and

2:17:39

Insight. Their worst performance here at

2:17:41

Champs. They are going to exit 78. Abe

2:17:44

wasn't able to keep up with the straight

2:17:46

or great start he had for Toronto. They

2:17:49

still have EWC a few weeks away, but

2:17:51

this is the end of their road at Champs.

2:17:54

What are you going to remember from

2:17:55

their season, Nameless? Yeah, I mean I

2:17:56

think early on, you know, the couple of

2:17:58

top fours, uh, but for them, it's just

2:18:00

been searching story wolves now for two

2:18:02

years straight. Yeah. Right. So, they

2:18:04

got to do some soularching and, you

2:18:05

know, for this one, this going to be a

2:18:06

hard pill to swallow, but you know, in a

2:18:08

couple of weeks, they have EWC. And for

2:18:10

Abe specifically, I'd like to see him

2:18:12

take a leap, man. Like, this is your

2:18:13

opportunity with some good players

2:18:14

around you. And that game four, I

2:18:16

thought it could have been Toronto's. He

2:18:18

needed to perform a little bit better

2:18:19

and I think he will do so when we get to

2:18:21

Paris.

2:18:22

>> Attach, do you give lessons?

2:18:24

>> Do I give lessons? Of course,

2:18:26

>> search and destroy lessons from Attach.

2:18:27

Trust me on this one, Adam. I'm out. We

2:18:29

got to go to our bracket real quick and

2:18:31

update you where we're at. Toronto is

2:18:33

now gone and we have the heretics

2:18:36

representing Spain in our top six

2:18:39

staying alive onto a Saturday night.

2:18:41

>> Tasting staying alive. We got to see who

2:18:43

else does though after this.

2:18:47

>> Here is our bracket and there is our

2:18:49

break. We'll be back. G2 and of course

2:18:52

the boys from Thieves.

2:19:50

But that's how it go.

2:19:58

I'm going out.

2:20:19

I know that things are going wrong for

2:20:22

me.

2:20:26

You got to listen to my words.

2:20:34

Here

2:21:00

we go.

2:21:06

Glory isn't given. It is earned.

2:21:12

>> What did we just see?

2:21:13

>> Easy.

2:21:15

>> Trying to avoid

2:21:18

another silver medal.

2:21:21

>> This is my time to go.

2:21:23

>> We win. We push. We win.

2:21:26

>> Backto back champs.

2:21:28

>> Oh my god. Unbelievable.

2:21:30

>> Out of nowhere.

2:21:31

>> Unbelievable.

2:21:35

Great.

2:21:36

>> It's history in the making.

2:21:41

>> Oh my god.

2:21:42

>> Oh, by the way, again, it's over.

2:21:45

>> Oh, the champions of the world.

2:21:50

>> Oh my god. Oh my god.

2:22:03

I am

2:22:22

killing.

2:22:36

What do you want to say to the fans out

2:22:38

there that's been supporting you guys?

2:22:39

Optic wall vamos. And that's

2:22:42

going to do it for me and Vic here on

2:22:44

the stage.

2:22:46

>> That's true. Why, bro? Why are you

2:22:49

going?

2:22:53

>> Why are you going?

2:22:55

>> You're going to get in trouble, bro. Why

2:22:56

is your leg behind?

2:22:58

>> What the is that?

2:23:00

>> Hello.

2:23:01

>> Look about

2:23:04

looking in the thing.

2:23:06

>> You're an idiot, bro.

2:23:09

>> He's not in here.

2:23:10

>> Join the game.

2:23:15

>> I can't look at this guy's player cam,

2:23:16

bro.

2:23:18

Like,

2:23:19

>> bro. Like, what am I looking at, man?

2:23:22

>> Oh my god. He actually does have the

2:23:23

propeller on top. Ah, yeah. No, he's

2:23:25

strong.

2:23:26

>> He's trolling, bro. He's

2:23:28

trolling.

2:23:28

>> That should tell you everything you need

2:23:30

to know about this series. He's wearing

2:23:32

a circus hat.

2:24:05

from the depths. Obstic are up. They're

2:24:08

looking to take some map out. They're

2:24:09

looking to close the series. It may be

2:24:11

enough. The tick not there. Oh, it is. I

2:24:13

thought he contested but instantly

2:24:15

dropped. Heretics.

2:24:18

>> Wow. just barely able to take it and get

2:24:21

2:24:26

>> I have eight. I have eight.

2:24:28

>> Oh my god.

2:24:29

>> They only got they got one suck,

2:24:31

dude.

2:24:34

>> Let's get it, bro. We got to win this.

2:24:36

>> Oh my god. Suck

2:24:43

>> 9 and 21.

2:24:46

Oh.

2:24:48

>> Oh my god.

2:24:50

>> We're getting a top five play early

2:24:52

2:24:55

>> Oh my god.

2:25:00

>> This is over. This is over.

2:25:06

>> Holy. He's still going. He's

2:25:08

>> still going. Is anyone going to shoot

2:25:11

2:25:12

This is over.

2:25:22

Oh my goate.

2:25:45

I'm got to go with the New York

2:25:47

Subliners in this one.

2:25:48

>> FaZe warmed up the Subliners.

2:25:50

>> Vibe check, bro.

2:25:53

>> Dang, man. Paco has carried me in rank.

2:25:55

I'm going to go with the New York sub.

2:26:02

>> Listen, where am I looking? Here. It's

2:26:06

Mother's Day. All right. Call your moms.

2:26:09

All right. And maybe I'll call them,

2:26:37

Go a. Yo. Next time. Go a.

2:26:39

>> Yeah. They're gonna get one day.

2:26:40

>> Yeah. That this is insane.

2:26:42

>> We get it.

2:26:43

>> Yeah.

2:26:48

>> Boom. Let's go.

2:26:49

>> I want to say that I I I was not trying

2:26:52

to curse us. I did not I thought it was

2:26:54

250 kills. So when we were up 70 kills,

2:26:56

I was like, there's no way we can lose.

2:26:59

>> Now it makes

2:27:03

lay down. I'm lay down. I can do nothing

2:27:04

2:27:08

2:28:53

>> Oh, what a flick. Wait, he's going back

2:28:56

>> Simple.

2:29:01

You got to give him that.

2:29:03

>> You got to give him that.

2:29:04

>> That was good.

2:29:10

>> Oh my god.

2:29:12

>> Holy.

2:29:13

>> That was crazy.

2:29:16

>> Give that to him.

2:29:19

>> Right where he wanted him, too.

2:29:23

>> Let me show these how to

2:29:24

snipe real quick. Let me show you how to

2:29:25

snipe, guys. in

2:29:29

God.

2:29:30

>> Oh, I'm so dead.

2:29:32

>> I was going to try

2:29:41

>> him. Wait, wait, hold up. Hold up. Was

2:29:43

he the greatest sniper this

2:29:44

>> Oh my god,

2:29:45

>> he was hella good. It all comes down to

2:29:48

this running it down.

2:29:50

>> He's trying to nose.

2:29:51

>> Ricky trying to nose.

2:29:52

>> Oh my god.

2:29:53

>> Oh no. Oh my god.

2:29:55

>> Even hit him.

2:29:57

Oh,

2:30:00

>> GG.

2:30:01

>> God, he got sl.

2:30:04

>> Oh my god.

2:30:30

And we are back live in Vegas. You can

2:30:33

see it's scorching hot out here in the

2:30:35

desert. And well, the luck has been raw

2:30:37

for the LA Thieves so far. A brutal

2:30:40

start to a championship round once again

2:30:43

as they are beaten by a bottom eight

2:30:45

squad. Hard road ahead. A hard eight if

2:30:48

you want to get there. But attach, let's

2:30:51

talk about it. If you are the Thieves,

2:30:53

what are your expectations today? You're

2:30:56

playing in a losses bracket for your

2:30:57

life against a G2 squad they've kind of

2:31:00

handled against in the past.

2:31:01

>> Yeah, Chris, they need to come out and

2:31:02

know that they're the better team. They

2:31:04

have won a championship. They got second

2:31:05

at the last major. Yes, they faltered

2:31:07

yesterday. They had a little loss, but

2:31:08

today they got some hardware earlier.

2:31:10

MVP and rookie of the year are on their

2:31:12

team. That's a good little guess, a good

2:31:13

little bump up, but they need to come

2:31:15

out and just dominate G2. They can't let

2:31:17

this game and lose that map one. If they

2:31:18

lose that map one, the game two is going

2:31:20

to get scary. So, they have to come out

2:31:21

hot. Now, it was the Falcons with a

2:31:24

rookie who did the damage yesterday, but

2:31:25

let's catch everybody up as we take a

2:31:27

look at our bracket. We have just seven

2:31:30

teams remaining as Koi exit will narrow

2:31:32

it down to six after this one. G2 of

2:31:35

course falling earlier yesterday as

2:31:37

well. That was a 3-1 at the hands of

2:31:40

FaZe.

2:31:40

>> Yeah. And kind of sticking on that phase

2:31:41

and G2 match, they were able to steal

2:31:43

away that search and destroy. And for

2:31:44

them, that's going to be their strength

2:31:45

as well heading into this series. And a

2:31:47

big shout out is that the SMGs in that

2:31:49

squad for having a really good map 2. So

2:31:51

hopefully heading into the series versus

2:31:53

LA Thieves, they're going to need it cuz

2:31:54

these are both teams struggling at hard

2:31:56

point.

2:31:56

>> Let's take a look at this thieves squad

2:31:58

because they are the super team. They

2:32:00

were invested in heavily. You've got

2:32:01

world champs and the guy who has every

2:32:03

accolade except a world championship.

2:32:06

Nam took home rookie of the year honors

2:32:08

earlier today. Scrap his second MVP

2:32:11

award in a row. Nameless. Yeah. And you

2:32:13

know for these guys it's business as

2:32:14

usual. You know Scrap's been here plenty

2:32:16

of times. They won their major from

2:32:18

losers round one. So they're

2:32:20

comfortable. You know they got punched

2:32:21

in the mouth yesterday. But when you

2:32:23

look at Scrap lease damage in the lobby

2:32:25

that never happened. So he has to come

2:32:27

out with a vengeance today and

2:32:28

absolutely pop off. Same thing. didn't

2:32:30

even find a first blood in that SND. So,

2:32:32

that was the exception, not the rule.

2:32:34

And this Los Angeles Thieves team going

2:32:36

up against G2 the heavy favorite despite

2:32:38

what happened this week.

2:32:39

>> Absolutely. But I do think the biggest

2:32:41

worry right now uh for me when I look at

2:32:42

the stats is just their hard point. This

2:32:44

is now four hardpoint losses in a row.

2:32:45

And not only that, they were all on

2:32:47

different maps, not to mention Asaka and

2:32:48

Hassianda that are really deep into

2:32:50

their pool. So, they might be stumbling

2:32:52

at 0 and2, but beyond that, I mean,

2:32:54

they're on a 16, we're on a 16 win

2:32:56

series win streak. Their hard point will

2:32:58

come back. I'm not worried about it.

2:33:00

>> We're not worried about this squad at

2:33:01

all. On the other side, we got to talk

2:33:03

about G2 because Dylan, they took to

2:33:06

Twitter saying, "You're not really happy

2:33:08

about the opponent you draw here in the

2:33:10

losing bracket." But that's how the

2:33:11

cooking crumble.

2:33:12

>> Yeah, exactly. If you lose, you don't

2:33:13

get your opponent. And you never know

2:33:14

what's going to happen at Champs. You

2:33:16

don't expect LT to lose, but they lose.

2:33:17

So now they probably expected to face

2:33:19

Falcons and losers. They're going up

2:33:20

against LA Thieves, the major three

2:33:22

champions, and G2. I'm really looking at

2:33:24

Skies and Nasty to step it up.

2:33:26

>> Nasty needs to have a good game. I've

2:33:27

been gassing him up all year. This was

2:33:29

his opportunity. He didn't perform

2:33:31

yesterday.

2:33:32

>> I would say that he has not been better

2:33:34

than MBO since he's joined this team and

2:33:36

that's who he replaced. Hoping they

2:33:38

would get a big buff, right? When KMP

2:33:39

doesn't play well, you're hoping it's

2:33:41

nasty who takes the next step. We have

2:33:43

to see that today. That tandem, like you

2:33:44

said, did not play well yesterday and

2:33:46

that was the difference cuz you got some

2:33:47

good performances out of Envoy and

2:33:49

Cremp. So, yeah, this team in order to

2:33:51

win a respawn, I think it's going to

2:33:52

have to be the game four, which is their

2:33:53

map pick. Those guys are going to have

2:33:55

to play well. talking about world

2:33:56

champs, Ally, they've got a few on this

2:33:58

roster as well.

2:33:59

>> Yeah, and they got to dig deep in a

2:34:00

situation like this when you know the

2:34:02

statistics are just so against you. I

2:34:03

mean, even looking at their overload, it

2:34:05

hasn't been great. Two and five, that's

2:34:07

going to be 10th overall in the season.

2:34:08

So, like I said, they're really going to

2:34:10

have to lean on that search and destroy

2:34:11

in this one and hopefully just try to

2:34:12

push for that game. But, so we know that

2:34:14

G2 Minnesota has recently started loving

2:34:17

getting to that distance.

2:34:18

>> When we take a look at some of the stars

2:34:20

in this one, I think when you look at

2:34:21

G2, Krep has kind of been their face

2:34:23

since the start of the season. On the

2:34:24

other side, Aziz is the guy to watch as

2:34:27

he is in another champs battle against

2:34:29

S, who is now playing for FaZe. So, as

2:34:31

we compare their numbers, who do you

2:34:33

think has had the statistical edge in

2:34:35

the last 60 days at Dash?

2:34:36

>> The last 60 days, you have to give it to

2:34:38

Azy. Uh, he played incredible so far.

2:34:41

And once the NBC meta came in and that

2:34:43

gun got up, he's took over. That's

2:34:45

helped them win their major, helped them

2:34:46

get second at major 4. So, I'm really

2:34:48

looking for Tyler to have a big series

2:34:50

right here. Yeah, and that was the thing

2:34:51

yesterday in the search and destroy.

2:34:53

Aziz got shut down, right? So, you got

2:34:55

to know he's coming out for a vengeance

2:34:56

in this one and they're going to get

2:34:58

similar maps. This is the matchup to

2:35:00

watch though, Chris. You put it out

2:35:01

there. Both these guys like to get in

2:35:02

your face and search and destroy and

2:35:04

make huge plays in the respawn. So,

2:35:06

whichever one goes off gives their team

2:35:07

the better.

2:35:08

>> We've got a little bit of time to chew

2:35:09

on this before our players are ready to

2:35:11

come out. So, let's talk a little bit

2:35:13

about the impact of this match. If

2:35:14

you're just joining us, Dylan, this of

2:35:16

course is day two. We started yesterday

2:35:18

with everyone in the winners bracket. LA

2:35:20

Thieves were expected to have a clean

2:35:22

run, meet up against Optic Texas on the

2:35:24

other side of that bracket. That's not

2:35:25

the case right here. G2 maybe thought

2:35:28

they might be here and you know they're

2:35:30

prepped. Did LA Thieves have to game

2:35:32

plan for G2 today or is it the other way

2:35:35

around? What do you want to see from the

2:35:36

squads and what did they need to do

2:35:38

after last night? Uh if I'm thieves, I'm

2:35:40

really looking at our own respawn, how

2:35:42

we played versus Falcons and what went

2:35:43

wrong? Why why were we not getting those

2:35:45

kills? Why could we not lock down those

2:35:46

hard points in search and destroy as

2:35:48

well? This is where you want to prep for

2:35:49

G2. G2 is a team that has very

2:35:51

consistent strategies, great nade spots,

2:35:53

good wall bangs. They like to get very

2:35:54

nerdy. They have good tech in that mode.

2:35:56

So, you prepare for that. But LA

2:35:58

Thieves, they have way better slayers on

2:36:00

this team. They should just go out there

2:36:01

and dominate in respawns. This team won

2:36:02

a 16 game a 16 series winning streak

2:36:05

already this season. They just have to

2:36:07

remember who they are.

2:36:07

>> They said CDL history with that 16 match

2:36:10

record as well, Ally.

2:36:11

>> Yeah, they did. And so, that's also why,

2:36:12

you know, when I talk about this, it's

2:36:13

like, yeah, their hard point's not

2:36:14

looking like it's in a great spot, but

2:36:16

again, it's the LA Thieves. It's more so

2:36:18

like, oh, Scrap just loses his round

2:36:20

ones at champs than it is me sitting

2:36:21

here and being like, they're having a

2:36:23

bad weekend. So for LA, they should be

2:36:25

looking at this and I mean, look in

2:36:26

their lips.

2:36:27

>> Yeah, I think yesterday a couple things

2:36:28

were at play, right? You don't really

2:36:30

know what Falcons are going to show

2:36:31

because Aluca just joined the team,

2:36:33

right? You don't know how good he is and

2:36:34

how they're going to change and they

2:36:36

punched him in the mouth in terms of

2:36:37

they were able to actually find kills.

2:36:39

But another part of it was they had the

2:36:40

two hard points in the series they were

2:36:42

11 and0 on. when you're talking about

2:36:44

practice leading into the event, you're

2:36:46

probably not putting all your focus on

2:36:47

the maps that typically would get vetoed

2:36:49

going into series, right? The problem

2:36:51

for that is though, they're both in this

2:36:53

series as well. So, I think going back

2:36:55

looking at that VOD, comparing it to

2:36:57

when you were dominating it could have

2:36:58

done wonders for the LA Thieves and they

2:37:00

might be very happy. Actually,

2:37:01

>> I might be kind of dumb here or maybe

2:37:03

it's just that easy to read, but I think

2:37:05

there was one difference in LA Thieves

2:37:07

yesterday compared to the rest of the

2:37:09

season and he goes by the name of Scrap.

2:37:12

Scrap was not having a scrap like Dave.

2:37:14

Do you guys agree with me, Vegas?

2:37:17

>> Yeah, it was kind of off today. I think

2:37:20

you're going to see the real Scrap. He

2:37:21

just won an MVP award this morning.

2:37:24

People may be judging him off of just

2:37:26

last night. Nameless. Talk to me about

2:37:28

this guy who is walking away with

2:37:31

back-to back most valuable player in the

2:37:33

league awards.

2:37:34

>> Yes, you could make an argument that

2:37:35

he's been the best AR since he went pro.

2:37:38

He has been unbelievable and every

2:37:40

single year he gets better at something

2:37:42

else. We talked about the opening duel,

2:37:43

the best in the world at it throughout

2:37:45

this year. And then the ability to lay

2:37:47

down top tier damage consistently in the

2:37:49

respawns. Now, we didn't see that

2:37:51

yesterday. Again, that is

2:37:53

uncharacteristic, but it's happened

2:37:54

before. He's went down to lose round

2:37:56

one. When they won the major, do Ally,

2:37:58

that's exactly where they started at.

2:38:00

So, I think Scrap absolutely bounces

2:38:02

back. I do not even remember if there

2:38:04

was a time he had backto-back series

2:38:06

where he didn't play well. I'm going off

2:38:07

that shout out hitch and around the bar.

2:38:08

I was actually watching it heading into

2:38:09

this weekend. I was watching

2:38:10

specifically Scrapp's episode and it's

2:38:12

just interesting of like the way that he

2:38:14

came up as an SND star and then he kind

2:38:16

of took over Respawn I feel like at the

2:38:17

beginning of this season and now he's

2:38:19

getting to a point where you're seeing

2:38:20

he's not just a straight shooter. He's

2:38:22

not just an aggressive AR. He's got the

2:38:24

head on his shoulder. He's going to be

2:38:25

>> He was an SND kid.

2:38:26

>> Yeah.

2:38:27

>> I assumed he was just like a freak out

2:38:29

of matchmaking and hard point only.

2:38:31

>> Dashy and them. They were running them

2:38:32

SND but lobbies way back in the day. So

2:38:34

for him going now into respawn and being

2:38:36

this overall all-around player. I mean

2:38:38

it's like we talk about you know he's

2:38:39

waiting for that ring like this is the

2:38:41

last thing of piece of the puzzle where

2:38:42

he joins some of the like best in the

2:38:44

league in the conversation. He's got to

2:38:46

do something here on this day number

2:38:47

two.

2:38:48

>> Now LA Thieves they saved the bag last

2:38:50

year. They kind of emptied it this year

2:38:52

on a roster and Kenny was in the

2:38:54

starting lineup. Kenny a two-time world

2:38:56

champion just won a ring with Optic. We

2:38:58

all thought that might go well. It

2:39:00

didn't and they quickly pivoted to this

2:39:03

guy. What did they see from Neam? And

2:39:05

what is he expected to do? Technically

2:39:07

on paper, is he AR number one, AR number

2:39:10

two? How do you classify him attached?

2:39:12

Ne is the guy that will fill in any role

2:39:13

you need him to. He came in for this

2:39:15

team and was a great sniper in the

2:39:16

search and destroy. He has the most

2:39:18

overloads on the team as well. So, he's

2:39:20

that objective guy. Whatever the team

2:39:21

needs is what he will do, but this is a

2:39:23

legacy defining day for all these

2:39:25

players right here. Will Scrap be able

2:39:27

to clutch up that champ and make the

2:39:28

run? Will Nam become another rookie to

2:39:30

win a ring? It can all happen this

2:39:32

weekend if they turn it up. But Neam has

2:39:34

to get back to the form he found at

2:39:35

Major 3 Championship Sunday because he

2:39:38

was frying all day.

2:39:39

>> He's the compliment, right? You need the

2:39:40

other guys to play well and then that's

2:39:42

when he's at his best. Yesterday, they

2:39:44

weren't able to do that. But this guy

2:39:46

Neam in the clutch moments later in

2:39:48

tournaments or when their back has been

2:39:50

against the wall, he has answered the

2:39:51

call every single time. Like he plays

2:39:53

his best COD in the pressure situation.

2:39:55

So this is a huge match up for them. But

2:39:57

once again, the stars have to star and

2:39:59

then Nam can make his play. Rose, I

2:40:01

don't know if you noticed it, but Nam's

2:40:03

mom is in the venue again. Where was she

2:40:06

last time? Atlanta. What did they do in

2:40:09

Atlanta?

2:40:09

>> They won

2:40:10

>> a trophy in front of the fam. You always

2:40:13

perform better. And this scuff rookie of

2:40:15

the year has been performing since he

2:40:17

was given the opportunity. A ridiculous

2:40:20

14-3 positive KD series record. This

2:40:23

guy, you can't ask for more.

2:40:24

>> You can't. I mean, he was putting up MVP

2:40:26

numbers even at that event, right? like

2:40:28

it just sucked to the team, edges them

2:40:30

out just a little bit. And the fact that

2:40:31

you have such two dominant ARs,

2:40:33

especially in this match up versus a G2

2:40:34

Minnesota, that we saw both of their ARS

2:40:36

fall flat yesterday gives them a huge

2:40:38

edge heading into this matchup.

2:40:39

>> Our players are getting briefed on how

2:40:41

to walk out on the stage. But I have

2:40:44

great news. They're going to be playing

2:40:46

soon. And I want to remind everybody

2:40:48

that this is not an easy matchup for LA.

2:40:51

We thought it was an easy matchup

2:40:52

against the Falcons. We were proven

2:40:54

wrong yesterday. So now if you're

2:40:56

looking at the stats here, you got to

2:40:57

think G2's got some pretty decent odds,

2:40:59

especially with the rebuilding that they

2:41:02

have done. Talk to me about the world

2:41:03

champions and the expectations for guys

2:41:06

who have performed on this stage.

2:41:07

>> Yeah. Well, if we're talking from the

2:41:09

angle of G2, Envoys has to be huge for

2:41:11

them as they start this loser bracket

2:41:13

run. Same thing with Skies, right? Like

2:41:15

he didn't play well yesterday. When he's

2:41:16

played well, it's been so much easier

2:41:18

for them. So I think the search and

2:41:20

destroy is really where they will find

2:41:22

the pay dirt. And that game two is

2:41:24

massive because their map pick and

2:41:25

respawn isn't until game four.

2:41:27

>> Let's take a look at those maps and

2:41:29

modes as we dive deeper into that

2:41:31

conversation. All three of you lit up

2:41:33

and Audi put her hands up first. So go

2:41:34

ahead.

2:41:35

>> Let's go. When we're talking about maps

2:41:37

and modes, I think the most interesting

2:41:38

here that's going to suck is that dead

2:41:40

overload for side of G2. Their overload

2:41:42

in general hasn't been great and they've

2:41:44

been trying to add Scar to their map

2:41:46

pool and it hasn't panned out. So

2:41:47

they're kind of forced to put into a

2:41:49

spot, get rid of Scar in this series and

2:41:50

go undeen, which is good for them at 13

2:41:52

and 13, but you

2:41:55

>> good for them at 50%. All right, next.

2:41:57

What do you got for me? Honestly, when

2:42:00

you're struggling like G2 in a respawn

2:42:01

game mode, you can't win any. You got to

2:42:03

look for the other team's weaknesses.

2:42:04

And granted, LA, they didn't lose until

2:42:06

yesterday in this hard point, but G2 saw

2:42:10

lose the Falcons. Now they want to play

2:42:11

them in those maps and see if they can

2:42:13

test their luck versus them.

2:42:14

>> And thoughts on the best of five? Did

2:42:16

the coaches make the right decisions

2:42:18

when it came to the bands and who do you

2:42:20

think has the edge?

2:42:21

>> Yeah, I mean I think for Thieves I love

2:42:22

it. Like just just run it back like we

2:42:24

used to love these maps and you know on

2:42:26

the side of G2 they've put out some

2:42:28

great tape on the gridlock SMD by far

2:42:30

the most important map for them in this

2:42:31

series. I think the overload Alli

2:42:33

mentioned it's been tough for them.

2:42:34

That's probably a wash. So two and four

2:42:36

massive walkout is ready. That means it

2:42:40

is time for your scuff pickups. Let us

2:42:41

know if you agree with them, chat. And

2:42:44

of course, everyone here in Vegas, wake

2:42:45

up, chug your beer, and get ready

2:42:47

because it is time for LA Thieves to get

2:42:49

my first vote.

2:42:51

>> A little bit of cheer.

2:42:52

>> Yeah, they're a little quiet. I'm going

2:42:54

to go with LA Thieves, too. I just think

2:42:55

they're the strongest team.

2:42:57

>> They're waking up. All right, Thieves

2:42:58

fans. How are we feeling? Are we awake?

2:43:00

>> A little Bill.

2:43:01

>> Or are the G2 fans going to be louder

2:43:03

right now?

2:43:04

>> Yeah, they're a little pumped for G2.

2:43:07

Um, but I got to see I think he's going

2:43:09

to make the run.

2:43:10

Thieves are making the run.

2:43:12

>> Yeah, losers round one. There's just no

2:43:14

way scrap goes out like that. The MVP, I

2:43:17

got LA.

2:43:17

>> Backto back MVP finishing top eight at

2:43:20

champs. We don't see it happening, but

2:43:22

we didn't expect him to be here right

2:43:24

now. Guy Blaze, let's get into our

2:43:26

elimination battle.

2:43:28

>> I'm ready to get into this one, Chris.

2:43:29

And we're going to have to vibe check

2:43:31

both these squads again because we did

2:43:33

it earlier and I think I know who the

2:43:35

loudest may be in the venue. But both

2:43:38

these teams are about to get loud on the

2:43:40

stage because they got to give it

2:43:42

everything in which they got. One is

2:43:44

about to go home. They're ready to go.

2:43:47

And here comes the first squad. Show

2:43:49

some love to G2 Minnesota.

2:43:55

Skies

2:43:57

Envoy

2:43:59

and Nasty

2:44:01

G2 ready to hit the stage. Finger on the

2:44:06

trigger. ready to unload the clip and

2:44:09

get that first chip. Minnesota, they

2:44:12

ready to get it going.

2:44:13

>> I mean, when it comes to G2 Minnesota,

2:44:15

you might as well put Darkhorse on the

2:44:17

back of their jerseys. Throughout the

2:44:18

entirety of this season, they've been

2:44:19

causing mayhem in some of these

2:44:21

situations, and they've started icing up

2:44:23

in some of these series. And every one

2:44:25

of these players, you could call

2:44:27

overlooked, sometimes underrated, and

2:44:29

they have been causing chaos, and they

2:44:30

are being given an opportunity to really

2:44:33

mess up some people's brackets in this

2:44:34

headup, headto-head. We got to bring out

2:44:36

the other team guy.

2:44:37

>> It's time to bring them out, Ally. All

2:44:39

right, cuz G2, they're locked and loaded

2:44:41

and you cannot count them out. But the

2:44:44

team coming to the stage is looking for

2:44:46

an epic bounce back and are ready to

2:44:48

officially start their run here at

2:44:50

Champs. Get loud for the major three

2:44:52

champions, the LA Thieves.

2:44:59

Scrap Azy, Neon, and Hydra. The LA

2:45:05

Thieves are ready to peak. They're ready

2:45:10

to take down their opponents and show us

2:45:13

all why they are champions.

2:45:16

>> This team has the current MVP of Black

2:45:18

Ops 7 and the rookie of the year. They

2:45:21

find themselves struggling right now in

2:45:22

losers round one. If there's any team

2:45:24

that can make this run and win a ring

2:45:26

this weekend, it is the LA.

2:45:30

>> They are the ones to be able to do it.

2:45:33

We know that the fans are behind them.

2:45:36

And I know you guys blowing it up in the

2:45:38

chat, but G2 fans, get loud out there as

2:45:40

well. They're your dark horsees. And

2:45:43

this is Kai Champs. Anything can happen.

2:45:46

And Shift and Study are ready to go.

2:45:48

>> Anything can happen. And it feels like

2:45:50

another one of those matchups where can

2:45:52

you really predict your opponent if

2:45:54

you're thieves? G2 have been agents of

2:45:56

chaos kind of reeling after their team

2:45:58

got picked apart, pulled away, and now

2:46:00

an opportunity to make another major

2:46:01

upset happen. potentially. Man, it's not

2:46:04

going to be easy though because you know

2:46:05

Thieves, they lost that matchup

2:46:07

yesterday versus the Falcons and they

2:46:08

instantly went back to watch that VA to

2:46:10

be prepared for today. It's a winner

2:46:12

going home series. Al, you got to lay it

2:46:14

all on the line today.

2:46:15

>> And I think the bigger thing about this,

2:46:16

the desk touched on this is like this is

2:46:18

a no excuse match again. You're playing

2:46:20

up onto your best hard points. You've

2:46:22

got the overload that you want. The only

2:46:25

real question mark in the series is the

2:46:26

gridlock, search, and destroy. And

2:46:28

that's G2's pick. Like Kamet was talking

2:46:31

about, if you're G2, you're not really

2:46:32

seeing a respawn you want till map

2:46:34

number four. It just comes down to we

2:46:36

really believe that thieves are going to

2:46:37

fail on rotation on sake hardpoint two

2:46:39

days in a row. That's where the

2:46:41

far-fetchedness of the conversation I

2:46:42

think starts to creep in.

2:46:43

>> Yeah. Because you can't play your hard

2:46:45

point like that. I said it before that

2:46:47

map number one started like you need to

2:46:49

be able to be the team early to the

2:46:51

punch. You need to win rotations to give

2:46:52

yourself these earlyies advantages

2:46:54

because they were realistically playing

2:46:55

Falcons very disrespectfully in those

2:46:57

opening couple of maps. And obviously

2:46:59

you learned from it today now down in

2:47:01

loser bracket with your backs against

2:47:02

the wall. You can't have those mistakes.

2:47:04

>> Cannot have it. And on the other side of

2:47:06

things, you know, there was the

2:47:07

individual tweet from Nassie saying, "I

2:47:08

felt like I needed to play better."

2:47:09

Obviously, the criticism kind of

2:47:11

surrounding Sky. He didn't look like he

2:47:12

was in his normal form yesterday. That

2:47:14

can't be present for G2. I think

2:47:16

especially knowing that for LA there is

2:47:18

a big point to prove. You don't want to

2:47:20

have the embarrassment of falling short

2:47:21

two years in a row after expectations

2:47:24

couldn't be any higher. So, lots of the

2:47:26

line there

2:47:27

>> without a doubt, man. and to play this

2:47:30

map number one. Again, if you are LA,

2:47:31

you're supposed to be excited. But for

2:47:34

G2 potentially trying to catch them off

2:47:36

guard, the act of surprise. They have

2:47:39

yet to play this map with this core 4

2:47:41

ever since it's been formed. But you

2:47:44

save the good stuff for Champs. You whip

2:47:46

it out at the right time. So LA got to

2:47:48

be prepared.

2:47:48

>> We'll see. Man, there's a lot of buzz

2:47:50

surrounding this G2 team and their

2:47:51

preparation in the weeks that were

2:47:52

leading up to Champs fell short of that

2:47:54

yesterday. a chance to possibly pull a

2:47:56

Cinderella run here and end the dreams

2:47:58

of the Thieves. But we've got LA, we've

2:48:00

got Minnesota Sake Hardpoint. Let's get

2:48:02

it on. The initial fight so far going

2:48:05

great for LA and they taking the page

2:48:06

out of the Falcons book. Screw bottom

2:48:08

pipe. We're going to send it all through

2:48:09

the hard point. And you also have Hydra

2:48:11

trying to work on this pinch drop

2:48:12

through Rocks, but that all gets picked

2:48:14

off. And with a clean for that, G2, you

2:48:16

know where the pressure's coming. That's

2:48:17

almost the exact same break they saw

2:48:18

from the Falcons yesterday. Just flood

2:48:20

the hard point, force the thieves to

2:48:21

come into your web, and it works out

2:48:23

beautifully. Now the spawn starts to

2:48:24

move around a touch as we get into the

2:48:25

halfway point of this first kill. Three

2:48:27

will drop to find the final four. And

2:48:29

now we're blocking. Now we're locking.

2:48:31

G2 off to a good start.

2:48:32

>> Yeah. What G2 was struggling with

2:48:33

yesterday in their hardpoint game is

2:48:35

simply the sling already coming out the

2:48:37

gates. P1 guns on fire. And in the final

2:48:40

15 seconds, you're not allowing the

2:48:42

players to get past this 50 yd line.

2:48:44

Another four dead sequence. Perfect

2:48:47

start for G2.

2:48:47

>> It's another one of those moments where

2:48:49

it just feels like the guns aren't hot

2:48:50

yet for thieves. Can't come out slow.

2:48:52

G2. Tons of daylight between them and

2:48:54

this P2 hard point. Nasty going to take

2:48:56

things off with a nice win over boxes.

2:48:58

LA looking to still develop a route. And

2:49:00

this is kind of the same thing we saw

2:49:01

yesterday where it's just everyone's

2:49:03

looking for 1 v one. Can they get

2:49:04

together? Can they focus a break? Here's

2:49:06

the attempt on the envoy. He will fall.

2:49:08

G2 will only get a couple of members to

2:49:09

spawn in.

2:49:10

>> Yeah, that's just all a lot of pressure

2:49:11

there from LA through the front side.

2:49:12

They knew that they had the advantage of

2:49:13

the 4v2. Two players who were coming off

2:49:16

the respawn have yet to come back to

2:49:17

life. So you flood in towards the time,

2:49:20

you actually get those final couple of

2:49:21

kills. instantly flip these swans on out

2:49:23

and this is looking like 30 seconds

2:49:25

going all in favor of LA.

2:49:26

>> Yeah, another really solid break on P2.

2:49:28

Same thing happened yesterday versus

2:49:29

Falcons. This one a little bit more

2:49:31

aggressive, a little bit quicker than

2:49:33

what we had seen in day number one. Nam

2:49:35

trying to hold down the next break

2:49:36

attempt coming through for G2. Cramp

2:49:37

able to give himself a chance and try to

2:49:39

finesse around the side door but tags

2:49:40

from easy get him weak and cramp will

2:49:42

drop. Last 10 seconds G2 have to play

2:49:44

for rotation.

2:49:45

>> Trade there for G2 to keep on pushing

2:49:46

these back but gives them some free

2:49:48

space off the rotation over towards P3.

2:49:50

You have Sky who finds one. Envoy finds

2:49:52

another. So, they're going to be

2:49:54

uncontested for at least the first 15

2:49:55

seconds.

2:49:56

>> It's another kind of rinse repeat of

2:49:57

their setup that they had for P2. Tons

2:49:59

of daylight in the middle of the map.

2:50:00

Lots of safety for Nasty who's the only

2:50:02

player currently in the hard point.

2:50:04

Scrap may have found a bit of an opener

2:50:05

though. Making his way over to bottom

2:50:07

side. Able to find Envoy down low

2:50:09

through elevator. Now the focus goes

2:50:10

back up towards the staircase. Nasty

2:50:12

would find the trade and keep his life.

2:50:13

Skies over to a bridge. Starting to deal

2:50:15

with a little bit of pressure, but Cre

2:50:16

to follow up. Good hold for them. Yeah,

2:50:18

G2 just keep on getting these early

2:50:19

advantages. Whenever these first initial

2:50:21

dump fights are going down, it's

2:50:22

preferred to go in favor of Minnesota

2:50:24

every single time, at least for the

2:50:26

first three hard points. So, 30 seconds

2:50:28

uncontested. You're taking the lead and

2:50:30

you're still continue to grow it. And

2:50:31

these are going to still try to pressure

2:50:32

this from Bridge. Yeah, last hit has to

2:50:34

come right down the middle. Nasty on

2:50:36

four in a row getting a little bit

2:50:37

closer towards a potential helltorm.

2:50:39

Still waiting for a little bit of

2:50:40

assistance from Kramp. The entire hit.

2:50:42

Five in a row for Nasty. Helltorm close.

2:50:44

And look at number eight on boys on

2:50:46

rotation already around dojo. Yeah,

2:50:47

perfect start here for Nasty. He must

2:50:48

have heard what the thes was saying ever

2:50:50

since he switches to this lineup. Mamba

2:50:53

was still outperforming him a little

2:50:54

bit, but on five and a potentially pick

2:50:56

up a helltorm, but DM gets the better of

2:50:58

him at least for now with the pressure

2:51:00

out of LA through the front side.

2:51:01

They're contesting it early

2:51:04

back to the hard point. Nice stab to

2:51:05

find Hydra. Low on the hill. Help is on

2:51:08

the way though. Dojo reno gets the

2:51:10

forwarder up. Still keeping his life. No

2:51:11

trophy inside the hard point. So he's

2:51:13

going quickly behind all this utility.

2:51:14

They're a trophies of their own to kind

2:51:16

of protect this in from the front. Sky

2:51:17

is able to find one, cramp another. That

2:51:19

will reduce this in just to the last two

2:51:20

team members who are still giving it

2:51:22

their final go. The blast left alive.

2:51:24

Shut down. And G2 put together another

2:51:26

brilliant hold. This is so efficient

2:51:28

right now from G2. Kill starting to go

2:51:29

down. It's not like someone is hitting a

2:51:31

long route. No, it's exactly going to be

2:51:34

team play the entire time. Another three

2:51:36

dead here for the Thieves though, trying

2:51:38

to get this final 20 seconds to go their

2:51:40

way to cut this deficit a little bit

2:51:42

more. But they might finally be in an

2:51:44

opportunity to win a rotation.

2:51:45

>> Yeah, a little small gap there from

2:51:46

Hydra. Gets the scrap time in favor of

2:51:48

the thieves. Desperately need it. Sky is

2:51:50

watching from the window position. He's

2:51:52

able to find a bezy that will again keep

2:51:54

thieves a little bit limited in terms of

2:51:55

what they can do on their setup. Look at

2:51:57

this play coming out through old here.

2:51:58

Two members from G2 trying to surround

2:52:00

and possibly flip the spawns around

2:52:02

here. More kills able to come through.

2:52:03

Nam in trouble and G2 are finding every

2:52:05

single kill. That is perfectly played

2:52:07

there from G2. They know that they have

2:52:08

the advantage. 22 split. We already win

2:52:11

the initial gun fight at the old time

2:52:12

and we had to jump on the last guy. We

2:52:15

don't even touch the hill. We allow it

2:52:16

to be right. And as soon as Hydra jumps

2:52:18

in it, we pounce with our numbers.

2:52:20

Chiefs were playing next level hog point

2:52:22

right now as he's on the back foot.

2:52:23

Yeah, Hydra able to try to set up an

2:52:25

entry. Finds himself one. There's no

2:52:27

follow up. That is not characteristic

2:52:28

for Deeps. Hydra's getting into the N,

2:52:30

but no one else is there with him. DM's

2:52:32

able to find a couple of consilary kills

2:52:34

over the top to at least give DeS a

2:52:35

chance off the respawn for a rebreak,

2:52:37

but it's only 20 seconds left here. And

2:52:38

a lot of this time still going neutral.

2:52:40

Yeah, this is every time where thieves

2:52:41

are finding a break. It's only for 20

2:52:43

seconds. And at least for now, G2 aren't

2:52:45

even allowing them to get this low time.

2:52:47

And it's surrounded. SMG's flying. Envoy

2:52:49

looking for kill number two. Locates the

2:52:51

MVP. And look at what now it does to the

2:52:54

spawn. It's going to be Envoy the only

2:52:55

one pushed out. So this is where the can

2:52:57

stop the bleeding. We need good time at

2:52:59

P1.

2:52:59

>> Yeah, but they're being red here in this

2:53:01

play through. Dojo is possibly going to

2:53:03

be pinched up cuz Envoy spawns behind

2:53:05

the play. So now you got a 3-1 split for

2:53:07

G2 on the break. Thieves need to receive

2:53:08

this. Sky to give you the opening too.

2:53:10

Hyperra in some trouble able to find

2:53:11

one. Has to return back over the hard

2:53:13

point and as he does finds Nasty for a

2:53:15

clean trade deal stay inside the bar.

2:53:17

It's cool to get all these kills but we

2:53:18

need to start getting some hill time.

2:53:20

Paco Taco starting to pop takeover. Four

2:53:22

in a row. You have P1 locked down. Still

2:53:25

30 seconds to play with but again these

2:53:27

farms for GTO going to give them a

2:53:28

natural pinch. Guys gives himself the

2:53:30

opener. 4v3 situation. Ne is out of the

2:53:32

play in some trouble here at Rocks

2:53:34

trying to kill some time for Bezy to

2:53:36

join the play but he's not able to do

2:53:37

too much with that time. So now an

2:53:38

opportunity for G2 to lock down spawns

2:53:40

again. 15 seconds of time to still soak.

2:53:43

And this is great for the score for G2.

2:53:45

And Hydra has to make a big time play

2:53:46

here if you want to potentially start

2:53:48

this comeback cuz you desperately need

2:53:50

this P2 to go your way. He found the

2:53:52

opening. He sneaks his way behind enemy

2:53:54

lines. Gets the better of Nasty. And now

2:53:56

your teammates are here to potentially

2:53:58

get this last raid. KP last man

2:53:59

standing. A perfect roto here from

2:54:01

Thieves. Down by six if you could tie it

2:54:03

up. Scrapping some trouble though. Will

2:54:04

drop over to Hboy. So G2 trying to set

2:54:07

up a break. Still up by about 50 as we

2:54:09

head to a Minnesota. Listening

2:54:14

back the back corner

2:54:18

back.

2:54:20

There's two in the back.

2:54:34

Watch this guy.

2:54:36

back anymore. They're going to be

2:54:46

>> one shot.

2:54:48

All right. No. Watch out.

2:54:50

We need

2:55:02

corner.

2:55:02

>> Yo, exit.

2:55:05

I'm already

2:55:09

go. I'm already back. One shot. Absolute

2:55:11

back lane down. Back

2:55:15

up and there's two on top.

2:55:19

Right. Right window.

2:55:25

The window. Watch it. Nice.

2:55:32

Exit door. Exit door. I'm waiting

2:55:36

still there. I think I'm being

2:55:52

hiding

2:56:05

Nice.

2:56:13

>> Brilliant P3 from Deep now working to

2:56:16

try to string it together to reclaim the

2:56:18

lead as we jump over to LA to see how

2:56:19

the cops are feeling.

2:56:25

>> I'm getting

2:56:34

two. One's already on the tree and

2:56:39

right now

2:56:45

I went I went new. I'm playing the gold.

2:56:54

I get right now.

2:56:58

>> Nice.

2:57:03

down. I go

2:57:06

left. I'm just staying alive on time. I

2:57:08

want

2:57:09

>> I want your propane now.

2:57:14

P2

2:57:17

window

2:57:25

Stay

2:57:28

fro

2:57:45

many

2:57:51

That's

2:57:52

>> us.

2:57:59

Let's go kitchen here.

2:58:00

>> Let's go kitchen.

2:58:01

>> Here we go. 20point game. Back over the

2:58:04

bar. Thieves able to bring this thing

2:58:05

back. But can they take the lead here

2:58:07

late?

2:58:07

>> It's not about how you start, it's about

2:58:09

how you finish. The MVP sitting at

2:58:10

almost double neck. You need to have a

2:58:13

moment. Gets gunned down by skies. The

2:58:15

advantage still in favor of G2. not

2:58:18

giving thieves any openings until these

2:58:19

SMGs start to fly.

2:58:20

>> Yeah, really good route timing from Nam

2:58:22

to open up the bar, get you into the

2:58:23

hard point, try to create some space to

2:58:25

read how this G2 play is about to

2:58:27

develop. Spawns for Thieves going to be

2:58:29

back over towards Rock. Chance here for

2:58:31

G2 to surround the play, but Neil give

2:58:33

you the opener. Hydra, he has been the

2:58:35

catalyst to try to keep the thieves in

2:58:37

this game, but he's unable to get the

2:58:38

second. He has his trade spawns 209 238

2:58:41

20 seconds. So, yes, you have spawns if

2:58:43

you're G2, but you need to hold them.

2:58:45

>> Yeah, and G2 know that they don't lose

2:58:46

that P1. There's no need to take any

2:58:48

more risks. Allow these gunfights to

2:58:50

come to you. Camp your corners. Play for

2:58:53

the first one-on-one is going to be

2:58:55

playing impatient. Doesn't check the

2:58:56

corner. Trying to finesse a little bit.

2:58:58

Doesn't get the better of Prem. Rotation

2:59:00

in favor of G2. LA got to go. Yeah,

2:59:02

they're getting stuffed though on this

2:59:03

backside play. Sky is backing himself

2:59:05

into the corner. Able to find himself

2:59:06

one. Not the second. Scratch the two,

2:59:08

but he gets shut down. 243 224. Last has

2:59:11

to develop over through Manny P for one.

2:59:13

He gets the knife, but he isn't able to

2:59:14

swipe it through. It's just down to boy.

2:59:17

Contest is in. LA are in. They're trying

2:59:19

to find a way to keep this map going. G2

2:59:21

still have a couple of players close,

2:59:22

but we're not done.

2:59:23

>> They got the back spawns. Cre with an

2:59:25

opening. Frag is going to start off

2:59:26

decent game, but it's His trying to hold

2:59:28

it down from the front. K gets a double.

2:59:29

3v2 for the game. Here we go. The

2:59:32

inside. The hard point finds the first

2:59:34

G2 getting absol

2:59:42

They get the staggered spawn. Last 5

2:59:45

seconds. Last opportunity for G2. Is it

2:59:48

easy to shut down the first P? No, not

2:59:50

able to get there. And LA pull off a

2:59:53

miracle.

2:59:58

Are you kidding me?

3:00:02

G2 were so close to the finish line.

3:00:06

It's like they celebrated before they

3:00:08

run past the ribbon.

3:00:10

Lat just kept on fighting.

3:00:14

You didn't have the best performance

3:00:15

there from scrap, but that final

3:00:18

sequence just go in alongside the rookie

3:00:21

of the year and a 2v4. Find three kills

3:00:24

and stall out enough time for the final

3:00:26

two teammates to make themsel a part of

3:00:28

the play.

3:00:30

It wasn't clean. It wasn't easy. But

3:00:34

Thieves desperately needed that one and

3:00:35

they got it.

3:00:36

>> Unbelievable finish. And it just by way

3:00:40

of looking at the last rotation from 5

3:00:44

to one. G2 have a full surround over the

3:00:46

northern side of the map and you start

3:00:49

to feel like uh-oh this is about to get

3:00:50

out of hand and you call perfectly. G2

3:00:53

know that they can't lose on P1 to set

3:00:54

yourself up with a perfect line of

3:00:56

scrimmage. But after a falls it looked

3:00:58

like G2 almost gave up on the play

3:00:59

through the long fight. They lost track

3:01:01

of this side alley and that's where

3:01:03

things start to fall apart with this

3:01:04

last contestant.

3:01:05

>> Certain times where if you are G2, all

3:01:07

you're trying to do is gain the

3:01:08

information. We really don't have to

3:01:10

commit on gun fights if they're not in

3:01:12

the hardpoint time. It would nasty

3:01:14

overextending at that front door, giving

3:01:16

that first kill to azy now. Forcing your

3:01:18

teammates to turn and look to that

3:01:19

direction. Allows all of these other

3:01:21

openings to develop there for the

3:01:23

Thieves. Nean scrap again though just

3:01:26

finding those three kills in those

3:01:27

closing moments. You flip them out.

3:01:29

teams who are sprinting for their lives

3:01:31

and they just can't get back into the

3:01:33

hard point. A one-point difference.

3:01:36

Thieves get it done.

3:01:37

>> And cramp the last one there. Just

3:01:39

cannot touch.

3:01:41

>> Would have been a really interesting

3:01:43

final one v one for the game.

3:01:45

>> But LA, yeah, scrapping I was kind of

3:01:47

talking to you a little bit during the

3:01:48

listen. You can just kind of see Scrap's

3:01:50

face. He's sitting at like 14 and 28.

3:01:52

He's just in a little bit of a blender

3:01:54

coming off spawn not able to get a good

3:01:55

gunfight. Coming off spawn, not able to

3:01:57

get the gunfight. So him taking that

3:01:58

deep breath makes a lot of sense because

3:02:00

it wasn't a great performance from the

3:02:02

MVP but bailed out a lot by the creation

3:02:04

of space from Hydra and of course beyond

3:02:07

that knee a minute 53 and a great finish

3:02:09

we keep talking about that's why he's

3:02:11

rookie of the year it's not just he's

3:02:12

been the best overall rookie when the

3:02:14

moment needs him he shows up for it

3:02:16

>> I promise you look at every single

3:02:17

category on this stat sheet he is

3:02:20

impactful in all of them 19 non-traded

3:02:22

kills 3500 damage 2 minutes in the hill

3:02:25

and also 10 objective kills to go with

3:02:28

it.

3:02:30

For a map that they used to be so

3:02:31

dominant on for real, it's coming down

3:02:33

to one point differences. It was all

3:02:36

about trying to climb themselves back

3:02:38

in. You finally win a rotation over

3:02:40

towards the P2, get 30 seconds, but the

3:02:42

P3 was the perfect response. That was

3:02:44

the first time this weekend where these

3:02:46

are actually set up and don't allow the

3:02:47

opposite team to get that early break.

3:02:50

So, you stayed in the fight, you stayed

3:02:51

committed, you stayed locked in, you

3:02:53

started off this series up 10. And if

3:02:55

you're G2, you cannot let that live in

3:02:57

your head for too long. You're probably

3:02:58

sitting here thinking, "Oh man, we could

3:03:00

steal away another sake hardpoint from

3:03:02

the Steve team who've been so good in it

3:03:03

and then go to our group and destroy

3:03:04

pick where to be fair like it's not

3:03:07

exactly been a common competitive venue

3:03:09

for either of these two teams. We've

3:03:11

seen it a handful of times, but not in

3:03:14

terms of like long-standing rehearsal.

3:03:16

It's definitely not one you identify

3:03:17

with one or the other. So, this is for

3:03:19

me down to can G2 just shrug that off

3:03:21

and reset the series by coming back into

3:03:23

map number two."

3:03:23

>> Yeah. know with G2 in this roster that

3:03:25

they form to close out the season.

3:03:27

They're going to be putting in that

3:03:28

extra work, learning all the nerdy

3:03:30

things about the game. Nade spots, wall

3:03:32

banks. So for a map like Gridlock, where

3:03:35

you only have a couple of reps on it,

3:03:36

the last time you saw a Thieves play, it

3:03:38

was in a game seven versus APE and they

3:03:40

got ran over.

3:03:43

So if you are LA, a team who struggled

3:03:45

yesterday in their SND game simply

3:03:47

because you couldn't find a first blood,

3:03:48

you got a beey. You got the king of

3:03:50

first bloods on the season in scrap and

3:03:52

you were 0 and7 yesterday versus the

3:03:54

Falcons. You need to make sure in the

3:03:56

first 10 to 15 seconds we're not giving

3:03:58

up that early information and starting

3:03:59

in this man down situation because then

3:04:01

it forces the hand for you to make a big

3:04:03

time play and sometimes it doesn't

3:04:04

always work out.

3:04:05

>> And that's kind of the second layer when

3:04:07

you talk about what went wrong yesterday

3:04:08

was in a 3v4. Falcons knew that were

3:04:11

going to just recontest try to get the

3:04:13

numbers back and would punish them

3:04:14

again. something that definitely came

3:04:16

into play when they played Optic on this

3:04:18

map back in Paris. Okay, Thieves overall

3:04:22

though, Gridlock Search has been good. I

3:04:23

mean, realistically, they've been solid

3:04:25

everywhere statistically, but it's champ

3:04:27

baby. Stats don't matter much, it feels

3:04:29

like. So, let's see what the action

3:04:30

provides. We're going to get the LA

3:04:31

Thieves on offense to kick things off.

3:04:33

There's going to be no trophy systems

3:04:35

early into this one.

3:04:37

>> Looks like we're going to have a reset.

3:04:38

Something is wrong. There's no way.

3:04:41

Everyone's just playing hide to go seek

3:04:42

in the back of their base. Yeah, it

3:04:44

feels that way. And yeah, indeed.

3:04:46

>> Okay, so let's keep the conversation up

3:04:47

then. I will say kind of looking back at

3:04:49

G2 yesterday, impressed with their mid-

3:04:52

round adaptations. They looked really

3:04:53

good against what we figured would be a

3:04:55

very strong phase squad. They would come

3:04:56

out on top. And I will say like how

3:04:58

things started. G2 was on 40 up. Started

3:05:01

to get away from them a little bit.

3:05:02

That's where you start to worry about a

3:05:03

team's composure. How deep do you really

3:05:05

trust your playbook? And G2 was able to

3:05:06

close out 64. I would say just overall

3:05:09

on the day that was one of the more

3:05:10

impressive moments from G2 through and

3:05:12

through as a fourman squad. wasn't on

3:05:13

any individual. It just felt like as a

3:05:15

squad, they were making the right reads,

3:05:16

the right calls, and the right

3:05:17

commitments.

3:05:18

>> Oh, yeah. They dominated phase, at least

3:05:19

early into those rounds, they're on

3:05:21

French. It was Envoy, it was Kremp who

3:05:23

were finding openings, finding a lot of

3:05:25

success as island players. And on a map

3:05:27

like Gridlock, you can do the same exact

3:05:29

thing. But my main focus, my main battle

3:05:32

here for this map number two,

3:05:33

realistically, it's going to be one guy

3:05:35

on one end, which is going to be Scrap.

3:05:37

He's Mr. Search and Destroy. He's Mr.

3:05:39

First Blood. And on the opposite, it's

3:05:41

going to be Krem. Those are both the

3:05:42

island players for their organizations.

3:05:44

They're going to have a lot of battles

3:05:45

around the map. A lot of rotation plays

3:05:47

coming in. You have to be able to shut

3:05:49

down either one.

3:05:50

>> Yeah. And I I just kind of looking back

3:05:52

over at Kremp. I think it's a really

3:05:54

interesting story point just kind of

3:05:55

looking at how his year has gone because

3:05:57

obviously the initial GT roster, he gets

3:05:59

a namesake by essentially changing the

3:06:01

name Colossus to his own playground. But

3:06:03

since the MPC has come through, there's

3:06:05

been a little bit of a shift and I think

3:06:06

he hasn't necessarily had the same

3:06:08

overall dominance. Whereas on the other

3:06:10

side, you look at Azy, his whole year

3:06:13

changes because of the weapon switch.

3:06:14

So, I think it's interesting to find how

3:06:16

on land these two these two players

3:06:18

rather have kind of fared. And you see

3:06:20

that it's again, they kind of play in

3:06:22

different scenarios, different types of

3:06:23

this grid.

3:06:26

Clutches, you know, is going to go creps

3:06:28

away. KD's edging them out by a little

3:06:30

bit, but what he was able to do all

3:06:32

throughout stage four, he was one of the

3:06:34

top SMGs in the game. That's why that

3:06:36

graph is the way that it is. one of the

3:06:39

top slayers. Not afraid to make the big

3:06:41

time play. Not afraid to take the chow.

3:06:44

Crep creponator, he's prepared for this

3:06:47

one.

3:06:47

>> Yeah, I'll say it's been a really uh fun

3:06:50

coming of age for Kramp in the last

3:06:51

couple of years.

3:06:53

But this is feels different. We talked a

3:06:55

lot about this G2 team kind of making

3:06:57

the most of a situation that is out of

3:06:58

your control. And to the point, you

3:07:01

know, you kind of watch their last month

3:07:03

and a half, they've impressed. Yeah.

3:07:04

considering the circumstances, but fresh

3:07:08

only lasts as long as the season and

3:07:10

that very well could come to an end

3:07:11

today. Have to find a way to bounce

3:07:13

back. And I think just generally see if

3:07:15

you can keep LA on their heels. It's

3:07:16

kind of like the Falcons did. I mean,

3:07:18

Falcons were moving the thieves all over

3:07:19

the map, pushing, pulling them, feeling

3:07:21

making them feel super uncomfortable.

3:07:22

And you can do that on gridlock. It

3:07:24

could be a quick map here if you're G2.

3:07:27

>> And I'm just excited to see what skies

3:07:28

has in store for us, man. We saw it

3:07:31

yesterday from Kisman. Nate spots

3:07:32

galore. Something about that NYSL camp

3:07:35

back in the day putting in that extra

3:07:37

work taking the advantage of the big

3:07:39

plays. Here we go. Hydra first one

3:07:42

forward. Envoy going to get a bit of a

3:07:43

read. Takes some damage for the effort

3:07:45

but then back away. LA appreciating the

3:07:47

space that they've been able to gain.

3:07:48

He's going to need to go for the plant.

3:07:49

Smoke out looking to find the first one.

3:07:51

He might find more than that. He's able

3:07:52

to catch the second player with the date

3:07:54

out but cannot get back over to the saf

3:07:57

stuck in the corner to find the first

3:07:58

but he cannot find the final. Envoy with

3:08:01

the collection. G2 with the opener. Gi

3:08:03

with a perfect read there. You notice no

3:08:04

trophy systems in play. So these are

3:08:07

just going to try to set the tone with

3:08:08

teamwork. Fourman brawl in towards the

3:08:11

shower as you get the bomb planted. But

3:08:13

the good thing for G2 is that they were

3:08:15

already there to contest them. That

3:08:17

smoke grenade goes down. It

3:08:18

automatically forces the hands of

3:08:19

thieves to try to commit through to

3:08:21

start off this engagement so they can

3:08:22

get the first blood. But the team kill

3:08:25

goes down. We make it a 3v3. Everybody's

3:08:27

going to be weak. And on boy puts the

3:08:29

finishing touches to close out that

3:08:31

round versus scrap G2. Almost looked

3:08:33

like a little bit of a body block trying

3:08:35

to come back. Kind of running right into

3:08:36

Hydra. Maybe it's a smoker to like I

3:08:38

don't know what the hell's going on.

3:08:41

>> Good first response though for G2. Quick

3:08:43

to read and react. What do they have in

3:08:46

store for their first offense? Is it

3:08:48

going to be aggression instead like you

3:08:50

call? It's going to be an opportunity to

3:08:51

play off a little bit of an island

3:08:52

though. This skies in position there as

3:08:54

Krimp is going to be the one to

3:08:55

thoroughly lean forward and try to get

3:08:57

some information learned about what's

3:08:59

happening at midnight. He might catch

3:09:00

one at ice here. This is free. Ne will

3:09:02

drop. wants more but doesn't have

3:09:05

the ability to stay alive as Hydra gets

3:09:06

the quick response.

3:09:07

>> Yeah, there's no way C to run up the mid

3:09:09

map like that for free but a quick

3:09:11

response from Hydra followed up by one

3:09:12

from Scrap. So manage for LA. No need to

3:09:17

force anything. Force G2 to get this

3:09:18

bomb planted. stretch of the map late

3:09:21

aid coming through. Actually tacks on

3:09:22

Dasty.

3:09:24

He'll shrug that off. Get back to full

3:09:25

health. And after seeing Aziz come

3:09:28

across the middle of Mail Truck, he

3:09:30

looks like this wants to be a forced

3:09:32

play over from Shower. Trying to

3:09:34

isolate. Couple of wall bang attempts

3:09:36

coming through. None really going to

3:09:37

affect the Thieves as Sky steps in finds

3:09:39

easy and now it's down to nasty. He's

3:09:41

able to get a lot of damage in but no

3:09:43

real chance of a 1v3.

3:09:44

>> Yeah, I'm wondering with all those wall

3:09:45

banks that they put down if someone is

3:09:47

weak potentially one shot. That's why

3:09:50

Sky tries to slide to their side of

3:09:51

showers, but difficult in a man down.

3:09:55

Both players put down shots on this side

3:09:57

of the map. You see what it does to all

3:09:58

the arrows for LA. You turn and you run

3:10:00

as a core squad.

3:10:03

>> Oh, but Neam teaching us new things.

3:10:06

>> What is this? Oh, wait. He can see Sky

3:10:08

all the way through that.

3:10:10

>> Telling you, you're bringing out that

3:10:11

champs. It's the perfect time to do it.

3:10:14

>> Okay.

3:10:16

still gets blindsided through mid, but

3:10:18

at least it's okay.

3:10:19

>> You know, you're finding something.

3:10:21

>> Cheeky cheeky.

3:10:24

>> Collective

3:10:25

in the venue. Thieves back over to the

3:10:28

aggression once again. Nate will land

3:10:29

though from skies. That will slow things

3:10:31

down convincingly. And honestly, this is

3:10:33

that moment we talked about. Can thieves

3:10:34

come back into a 3v4 blood. Yeah, use

3:10:37

some teamwork still because now your

3:10:38

bomb carrier is trying to be the

3:10:39

aggressor. Sun is going to connect on to

3:10:41

Hydra. Has to back on up to his team.

3:10:44

Reset the play. Yeah, but G2 and the man

3:10:47

up don't need to do anything.

3:10:48

>> Yeah, and this is great from Krem. Just

3:10:49

keep sliding back and forth over through

3:10:51

mid street. Get a read if they're going

3:10:52

to try to play through mid at all.

3:10:55

>> Allow Nasty to continue to throw

3:10:56

shoulders at B. And then you've got a

3:10:57

little bit of a double setup over here

3:10:59

on the back side of it. Hydra sneaking

3:11:02

forward close to a bezy putting some

3:11:04

pressure over towards that small room.

3:11:06

That's going to lead to enough space to

3:11:07

plant. Give himself a chance at a 3v4.

3:11:09

But G2 aren't going to rush this again.

3:11:10

Thieves aren't going to commit on the

3:11:11

bomb plant. So now time isn't going to

3:11:14

be your best friend anymore. G2 already

3:11:17

inside. They're just waiting

3:11:19

intentionally for this bomb to go down,

3:11:20

but it doesn't. So they're going to come

3:11:21

in with the gunny. Yeah, you got

3:11:22

trophies here. So G2 are feeling pretty

3:11:24

comfortable, but the hydra able to find

3:11:25

a couple. Leads it now just down to

3:11:26

nasty 1v2 situation. Has one in the

3:11:29

corner. Big win, but can't slip away.

3:11:31

What a response from LA and essentially

3:11:33

was a 2v4. Telling you man, they watched

3:11:35

back that series last night. Falcons

3:11:38

every time they found the first flood

3:11:40

they played it super patient. So this

3:11:43

time even the man down you know that G2

3:11:46

are ready and waiting to pounce with the

3:11:48

advantage cuz they have an extra gun. So

3:11:50

you delay it you prepare for the

3:11:52

pressure.

3:11:54

You're able to execute that round even

3:11:56

in the man down. Thieves up two-1.

3:11:58

>> And it's not just the fact that they're

3:11:59

a man down. I think you read that and

3:12:01

you say, "Oh wait, they also can't get

3:12:02

the bomb planted. It feels like

3:12:03

everything's starting to go a little bit

3:12:04

sideways."

3:12:06

But a couple of clutch gunfights come

3:12:07

through and now LA have a small lead.

3:12:08

Two one up. Nam on three in a row. G2

3:12:11

looking to maybe play with some forward

3:12:12

aggression over Forte this time around.

3:12:15

Trophies should still be active. You

3:12:17

would think both teams cramp takes a

3:12:18

little bit of damage through mid scrap

3:12:19

to find first blood. Is there a trade

3:12:21

here? Good followup stun from LA.

3:12:23

Doesn't allow the trade to come out

3:12:24

until eventually Nasty gets one back,

3:12:26

but it's still a 2v3 for Thieves. Yeah,

3:12:28

but now again another situation where

3:12:29

you don't have to do anything extra.

3:12:32

Trap them in torch showers. Force G2 to

3:12:34

get this bomb planted and allow that

3:12:36

time to be your best friend cuz now

3:12:38

everyone from LA has regrouped. DM

3:12:40

hasn't seen anything as of yet. Now he's

3:12:42

got a freebie. Nasty tagged down low.

3:12:45

Help is on the way. More damage onto the

3:12:48

second contestant. Skies will fall.

3:12:50

Nasty has gotten himself out of dodge

3:12:52

with 40 seconds on the clock in a 1v3.

3:12:55

He would need to find one to get back

3:12:56

and that's not going to happen. Clean

3:12:58

shots for Neam.

3:13:01

I think Nam switched up his class as

3:13:03

well. He's running that under barrel

3:13:05

that Aluca was giving him belt with

3:13:06

yesterday.

3:13:08

Great shots with the N15.

3:13:11

Nasty with the camera is not good enough

3:13:14

to take down the likes of the Rookie of

3:13:16

the Year. I'm just loving what I'm

3:13:18

seeing so far from LA. There's no one

3:13:20

trying to force anything. No one playing

3:13:21

the superhero role. Every time we had

3:13:24

the advantage, we're not throwing it

3:13:25

away. And that's lead to a two- round

3:13:27

lead.

3:13:27

>> Yeah, you got to just trust the numbers

3:13:28

here, not get too overconfident. Feels

3:13:30

like that's definitely come through. Nam

3:13:32

still holding on to his streak. Four in

3:13:33

a row for him. First blood battle back

3:13:35

to even 22 the count. LA going to take a

3:13:39

measure of pause to start off this

3:13:41

opening attack. G2 going to get a little

3:13:44

bit aggressive. Just going to get envoy

3:13:45

in towards the tree at A and Kle back

3:13:48

over to help out at mid.

3:13:51

Everyone from LA just scouting for info.

3:13:54

See if you going to switch up their

3:13:56

facing on this round. And it's good

3:13:57

shots released back down skies, but he's

3:13:59

not expecting this many guns on this

3:14:01

side of the map. He's able to walk away

3:14:03

with his life still a 4v4.

3:14:04

>> LA's got all the info they need, though.

3:14:05

They know there's a double setup forward

3:14:07

at A. And you also had shots from Nam to

3:14:08

Nasty. They know he's playing outside of

3:14:11

Grandma. So, this is the right read here

3:14:13

for Thieves. Take your numbers. Try to

3:14:15

keep Nasty interested, possibly isolate

3:14:17

on towards him. Just the only question

3:14:18

is where's Creme? They're about to

3:14:20

learn. Either first and for tagged up

3:14:23

now. you commit. You know where

3:14:24

everybody is. Nasty playing backside

3:14:26

alley. Good validation of information as

3:14:28

Hydra continues to lock this position

3:14:29

down, but the bomb is not free enough to

3:14:31

plant yet.

3:14:32

>> Yeah, you don't have any time to do

3:14:33

anything else. You have to commit in

3:14:34

this final 25 seconds at this bomb site

3:14:36

and just hope that G2 are going to

3:14:37

overextend a little bit potentially from

3:14:39

the first blood. Fantastic n coming in

3:14:41

from a bezy. Nasty thinks that someone's

3:14:43

getting that bomb planted again. Another

3:14:45

situation with have the numbers

3:14:46

advantage 2v1.

3:14:47

>> Your bomb's down right now. Hold on a

3:14:49

second. Ano has a chance to clutch this

3:14:50

one situation with 10 seconds at the

3:14:52

clock. First battle not going to go his

3:14:54

way. Get down, Mr. President. Easy final

3:14:57

kill. Thieves up 4-1.

3:14:59

>> That's two times now for G2 on the

3:15:01

defensive side. You're just expecting LA

3:15:03

to be planting this bomb. They are not.

3:15:05

They are waiting for you to play for

3:15:06

this retake opportunity. So as soon as

3:15:09

that frag goes down, Nasty in his mind

3:15:11

is thinking it's got to be getting

3:15:13

planted. So if I can stop that bomb

3:15:15

plan, I can make it a 3v2. Still

3:15:16

manageable, but he gets caught. And then

3:15:19

you're just simply outnumbered. Envoy

3:15:21

put himself in a great position to

3:15:22

potentially clutch that up. But Thieves

3:15:24

again setting up those cross fries, not

3:15:26

leaving anyone stranded, have found

3:15:28

three rounds in a row.

3:15:29

>> Yeah, and their recon in that round is

3:15:31

exquisite. They're able to find every

3:15:33

piece of info they could possibly gather

3:15:35

before making the right read, right

3:15:37

decision. And now the chance for Hydrick

3:15:40

get aggressive through mid. He's going

3:15:41

to support the aggression at A at the

3:15:43

same time. So yes, B is wide open, but

3:15:44

this is by design. There's going to be a

3:15:47

little bit of a battle here on the long

3:15:48

side of the flanks, guys. Oh, he's able

3:15:50

to get the win. Find the win. G2 are not

3:15:53

set up in the post plant, but it's a

3:15:54

3v3.

3:15:55

>> Is able to get on with the bomb planter.

3:15:58

>> 35 seconds. Know they're going to be

3:16:00

playing back towards the 18, but creme

3:16:02

up close and personal does find one. 2v2

3:16:05

able to clear out some of the space. BM

3:16:07

is very close to a helltorm. Nasty seen

3:16:08

in the corner. Scrap pushing and p not

3:16:11

quite able to get through the line of

3:16:12

sight of skies. Nam trapped not quite

3:16:15

able to find the hell storm and G2. A

3:16:17

good shutdown not just on DM but also on

3:16:19

the streak of rounds in a row there for

3:16:21

Thieves.

3:16:21

>> Yeah, that's a perfect play call there

3:16:22

from Minnesota.

3:16:24

Not a single player from Thieves in the

3:16:26

vicinity around that B site. So, we

3:16:28

don't want to waste any time get it down

3:16:31

and play our post plant. But the biggest

3:16:32

kill of the round was 100% Sky started

3:16:35

off with that first blood. Hydra was so

3:16:37

quick to get up through the middle of

3:16:39

the map. His teammates were pushing so

3:16:40

aggressively up through shower. So they

3:16:42

knew the play was going to be at B and

3:16:44

it all just came down to Sky choosing

3:16:46

the 50/50 of where he wanted to look.

3:16:48

Gets the first blood and eventually gets

3:16:50

the round. G2 stop the bleeding.

3:16:53

Can they find a way to get it to two in

3:16:54

a row though cuz offensively thieves

3:16:56

have shown a lot of success by playing

3:16:58

through a aid's over the top. Sky going

3:17:00

to play inside. Nam sniping this round.

3:17:01

He's going to find cramp and more

3:17:02

information onto another but the trade

3:17:04

is immediately there. So 3v3. Bomb look

3:17:06

to get aggressive beyond that setup at

3:17:08

A. And Skies is pushed off.

3:17:10

>> Yeah, there's no way in hell we're not

3:17:11

going to waste any more time on getting

3:17:12

this objective planted. Look at this

3:17:14

spot from Hydra. Don't worry guys, all

3:17:17

of your flank is being covered. But now

3:17:18

you got to retreat back to the team.

3:17:20

>> Here comes the retake attempt for GG

3:17:22

from the front. Lots of damage on to

3:17:23

Envoy, but he's through. Sky maybe the

3:17:26

next one to try to join. Secondary

3:17:28

follow up there. Really good wall bang

3:17:29

as Enboyo is able to push off some of

3:17:31

this post plant. Now it's time to

3:17:32

reclaim the showers. Trade is initially

3:17:33

there. 2v2 situation. His looking to get

3:17:35

aggressive, but he has an M15. Makes

3:17:36

good use of it for the first, but Skies

3:17:38

has the response. Scrap versus Skies. 18

3:17:41

seconds on the clock. Scrapper shots the

3:17:43

MVP. Not going to lose that one. And LA

3:17:44

gets to that point. It's just too easy

3:17:47

when they're gathering that much

3:17:48

information that quickly.

3:17:51

Hydra gets caught potentially ego a

3:17:53

little bit because he knew, oh yeah, I

3:17:55

still got the MVP alive behind me. And

3:17:57

he's also on the head glitch, so he has

3:17:59

the heavy advantage. But to start off

3:18:02

that round with NM hitting the snipe,

3:18:04

gathering so much information that

3:18:05

there's all lot pressure on that side of

3:18:07

the map. You don't waste any time on the

3:18:08

opposite. Get it planted and Hydra

3:18:10

teaching us new things. This guy's

3:18:13

flying.

3:18:16

>> What the hell is that?

3:18:17

>> I don't know.

3:18:21

Something about these NYSL players from

3:18:23

back in the day. I'm telling you.

3:18:24

>> Bunch of weirdos.

3:18:28

Someone in Treyarch just rolled their

3:18:29

eyes. I promise you that. First one

3:18:31

there. KP though able to get at least

3:18:33

one in response, but Thieves just

3:18:34

running it down. KP already the last one

3:18:38

left trying to fuel around the corner.

3:18:40

Nowhere to go and it's going to be LA

3:18:43

with a very convincing map number two.

3:18:47

No signs of slowing down after the big

3:18:50

response in the opening Sakai Hard Boy.

3:18:52

Yeah, they just had such a great start

3:18:54

to that search to destroy. Were able to

3:18:56

give themselves a little bit of a

3:18:57

cushion up 4-1. They're just not

3:19:00

throwing away advantages like they were

3:19:02

yesterday versus the Falcons even though

3:19:04

they barely had any outclassing G2 on

3:19:08

the mode that they desperately needed to

3:19:09

have in this series versus Squados

3:19:12

usually dominated them in the respawns

3:19:14

to get ran over on gridlock.

3:19:17

Really tough to now try to bounce back

3:19:19

versus team cuz thieves had all the

3:19:21

momentum. Yeah, super typical I think

3:19:23

just in terms of not getting too lost in

3:19:26

the little things and your deeds of what

3:19:28

went wrong yesterday in the search and

3:19:29

destroy. Zoom out. What are we doing

3:19:31

wrong on an elementary scale? We're

3:19:32

getting blooded in the first 30 seconds

3:19:34

too often. So, let's stop doing that. If

3:19:36

we happen to find ourselves in the 3v4,

3:19:38

let's not try to immediately follow up

3:19:40

to take this into 3v3s. I think

3:19:42

especially from the defensive side,

3:19:43

trying to recontest bomb sites too

3:19:45

quickly. And then beyond that, just

3:19:47

under pose plants force G2 to come into

3:19:49

you. How many times did we see that over

3:19:50

towards the tree at a where G2 has to

3:19:52

try to work their way through multiple

3:19:54

layers and that extra little bit of info

3:19:56

that you're getting from thief was just

3:19:57

enough to help to set up those again big

3:19:59

number situations in the post.

3:20:01

>> Yeah, sometimes it wasn't even the post

3:20:02

plant cuz they didn't even get the bomb

3:20:03

planted. It's just like all right, you

3:20:05

know, it's 30 seconds left. If you're

3:20:06

G2, you're thinking these guys are

3:20:08

running out of time. They have to get it

3:20:09

down if they want to extend this round a

3:20:11

little bit longer. But every time they

3:20:12

made that decision to jump at them, no,

3:20:14

these are ready and waiting. Just

3:20:16

outclassing G2 in that SND and are now

3:20:18

up 21. And they have a chance to go to

3:20:19

Den Overload, the probably the nastiest

3:20:21

breakoff team on the map mode

3:20:22

combination. Can they find a way to

3:20:24

continue that pressure and take G2 well

3:20:27

and firmly out of champs and start

3:20:30

building what would be a very lengthy

3:20:31

run through the lower bracket? Our

3:20:33

number two seed not out of the woods

3:20:34

yet, but a little bit of daylight

3:20:35

starting to come through the clearing as

3:20:37

we head to D overlook on the back side

3:20:38

of the break.

3:20:51

Nice, boys. Let's go, bro. I caught my

3:25:49

Ah,

3:25:51

I hit the guy's showers, too. Ah,

3:25:56

>> thieves may have been knocked down

3:25:57

yesterday, but boy do they bounce back

3:25:59

in a major way, especially considering

3:26:01

how this series had started on Sake. It

3:26:04

looked like GT was about to continue to

3:26:07

punish thieves on one of their best

3:26:08

overall maps. But immediately following

3:26:10

a one-point win of the hardpoint, it was

3:26:11

all action, all gas, no breaks on the

3:26:13

search and destroy dominant affair. And

3:26:15

now Thieves are comfortably up 2 going

3:26:17

to one of their best map mode combos in

3:26:18

the game. Yeah, it's just when you win a

3:26:20

map like that to start off a series,

3:26:21

that could potentially be the catalyst

3:26:23

of the reason why they potentially make

3:26:25

this deep losers bracket run. They still

3:26:28

know that job is not going to be done

3:26:30

just yet. Then Overload is standing in

3:26:33

front of them. I know technically on

3:26:34

paper, this is usually a go-to map for

3:26:37

LA and G2 on the opposite. Ever since

3:26:39

they made this roster, have yet to find

3:26:42

any success beside one time. to have so

3:26:45

many reps on a yesterday you fall short

3:26:47

versus phase because the act of surprise

3:26:50

with DZA getting lost caught you off

3:26:52

guard got to keep track of everyone

3:26:53

today

3:26:53

>> and that's tough to do I think

3:26:54

especially in the first 45 seconds or so

3:26:56

the thieves by far the best team on

3:26:59

breakoff on this map often scoring very

3:27:02

early on initial nonvoy slows down the

3:27:05

thieves for a moment but they win every

3:27:07

single gunfight that they need to to

3:27:09

potentially still control the dojo

3:27:10

sometime and they get sky so now you've

3:27:12

got threat through mid threat over

3:27:13

towards dojo but a Good response. Envoy

3:27:15

cramp able to keep the defense alive

3:27:16

early.

3:27:17

>> Yeah, lead blocker loose to that

3:27:18

one-on-one in Hydra. Now you know you

3:27:21

have the advantage if you RG to be the

3:27:22

aggressors on their side of dojo. But EM

3:27:25

and trap make the most of it. Now you

3:27:27

have your teammates here for an allout

3:27:28

blitz through the front door, but a

3:27:30

little bit of finesse coming into play

3:27:31

now. Nice angle right there from EM

3:27:32

almost able to turn that into a second

3:27:33

but has the tip to get one trade back.

3:27:35

Hydra able to follow up. The play still

3:27:37

alive and well. abusing the follow up

3:27:39

and over trying to get there was scrap

3:27:41

of cramps able to lock down the two and

3:27:43

the defense will hold strong and now if

3:27:44

you are DC take as much map control as

3:27:46

you potentially can

3:27:48

retrieve that EMP start pushing up dojo

3:27:51

crep potentially is going to be able to

3:27:52

catch the sneak attack gets the burst

3:27:54

there on the scrap and just not going to

3:27:56

be able to read a bez cut so everything

3:27:58

gets stalled out yeah cramp on four in a

3:27:59

row though able to get the trade keep

3:28:00

his life a little while longer on boy's

3:28:02

win right there will allow him to

3:28:03

potentially grab the EMP and follow

3:28:05

behind this and you've got help from

3:28:06

skies to make sure that pinch from scrap

3:28:08

stays safe. Nasty now trying to create

3:28:09

the extra layer and that will work out

3:28:11

as G2 get through the portal first. Now

3:28:13

if you are thieves, you got to make a

3:28:14

decision. Are we going to wrap back or

3:28:16

we going to decide to push through? But

3:28:17

with Hydra and Scrap already finding

3:28:18

three kills, it makes their decision

3:28:20

very easy to be made. 330 still left on

3:28:23

the game clock. We have yet to account

3:28:25

for where Envoy is going to be located

3:28:27

because now his teammates are showing

3:28:28

pressure over towards Dojo and he also

3:28:30

finds a kill.

3:28:31

>> Huge. Now it's just down to one

3:28:32

defender. Can you find this if you're

3:28:34

VZ? No, Envoy's able to find the kill.

3:28:35

There's going to be a second score here

3:28:37

for G2 when they decide to put it

3:28:39

through the goal. Trying to get

3:28:40

themselves set up and move over towards

3:28:41

the rooftops first, but kills for

3:28:43

thieves will all have a chance to

3:28:44

potentially set up a counterattack.

3:28:45

Yeah, they quickly need to because it's

3:28:47

already been 2 minutes. You're down by

3:28:49

two. Have every single one of your

3:28:51

teammates trying to play this reset, but

3:28:53

Hydra is the lead blocker loses that

3:28:54

one-on-one. Now you're losing the trade

3:28:56

fights. The reset goes down. The only

3:28:58

player alive is going to be Neo. And

3:29:00

hopefully your best overload player can

3:29:01

make something happen. And almost yes to

3:29:05

a second, but there's still a player

3:29:06

behind his play and ask him to win the

3:29:07

pistol, but there's no follow up from

3:29:09

Kreb after the heroic play through P2.

3:29:11

Envoy going to hold his life over

3:29:13

towards mid EMP rotating around the

3:29:14

pivot point. Scary

3:29:15

>> and Thieves are looking to try to follow

3:29:17

behind while also cut their defense up,

3:29:19

but as Envoy drops, thieves will feel a

3:29:21

little bit more comfortable. Now they

3:29:22

have the 4v3. EMP is going to be

3:29:23

standing right in front of them and they

3:29:25

have allout SMG pressure to give

3:29:27

themselves this advantage. That's going

3:29:28

to be four dead. Only one player

3:29:30

potentially here to stop them. And it's

3:29:31

still an envoy. The dark prince with a

3:29:33

double. And now you're forcing Hydra to

3:29:35

retreat.

3:29:36

>> He has had a great start to this first

3:29:37

half. First quarter of the map already

3:29:40

gone. That 10 and seven is Envoy.

3:29:42

Oh, and almost able to get to 11 right

3:29:44

there, but able to find a couple of

3:29:45

kills to get them in towards Dojo. Gra

3:29:48

up able to get one. Oh, what just

3:29:50

happened right there? Strap lost track

3:29:51

of him. So the knife comes out, finds

3:29:52

that into a second and skies will keep

3:29:54

G2's pressure at Dojo alive. And that's

3:29:56

just another sequence where you cannot

3:29:58

allow that to go down if you are LA. You

3:30:00

had to jump on him. The finesse game

3:30:02

almost burst out. But it's cremp popping

3:30:05

T. And now Envoy still doing it on this

3:30:07

side of the map. Great 7 seconds to

3:30:09

potentially back him down. He also picks

3:30:11

up the kill and even finds the one

3:30:13

coming off the respawn. Krep and Envoy

3:30:15

doing it all.

3:30:16

>> What are we talking about right now? G2

3:30:17

is running right through LA on every

3:30:20

part of the map. But they're not done

3:30:21

yet.

3:30:22

>> Oh, they've got him completely spawn

3:30:23

trip. Easy pick up, grab and go for

3:30:25

Krep. And we are going to have a

3:30:27

lightning fast first half. 40 G2.

3:30:35

>> Yeah, you're not expecting that kind of

3:30:37

SMG play from G2.

3:30:39

Cramp and Envoy found themselves in so

3:30:42

many different situations where they

3:30:44

needed to find a multi-kill to give them

3:30:46

their best chance. Nasty starts it off,

3:30:49

but it was a cramping envoy show all

3:30:51

throughout that first half.

3:30:54

took 3 minutes and 43 seconds to get

3:30:57

that one done. And now a tall ladder to

3:30:58

climb for Thieves to try to end this out

3:31:00

in three.

3:31:01

>> Absolutely incredible considering the

3:31:03

fact that there were a number of moments

3:31:04

where it looked like Thieves were about

3:31:05

to score and it's one player, last one

3:31:08

left alive for G2 to come away with a

3:31:09

double.

3:31:11

They make sure that it stays like a

3:31:12

clean slate here in the first half.

3:31:15

About as good as it gets if you're G2.

3:31:17

Six in a row to carry into the second

3:31:18

half for Envoy. Nate will land from

3:31:20

Skye's hand. Enboy will drop though and

3:31:23

that will lead to an opportunity here

3:31:24

for LA to continue to play the trade.

3:31:26

Fights until skies has the final word

3:31:28

and will stay completely neutral through

3:31:30

the middle of the map.

3:31:30

>> Yeah, he just want to make sure that you

3:31:31

take care of the middle of the map. But

3:31:33

it's Nam on the opposite finding a

3:31:35

double. It's the only thing none of his

3:31:36

teammates achieve at EMP. So you're

3:31:39

going to have creme working on this

3:31:40

long. You have a lead blocker and Hydra

3:31:42

already clearing out a lot of space over

3:31:43

towards A. This is going to lead to a

3:31:45

cap. LA get there first. That's a bit of

3:31:46

a miscue right there from G2 coming off

3:31:48

the spawn towards B. Feeling like they

3:31:50

may be pressured through dojo, maybe

3:31:51

pressured through mid. You lose track of

3:31:53

Hydra. Now there's a chance through this

3:31:54

dojo play. They actually develop a setup

3:31:56

over towards B. G2 know that they need

3:31:58

to clear out the V point. Able to get

3:31:59

the first one cleanly. Ne though next

3:32:01

one up to find the first pistol through

3:32:02

just trying to play body block finds a

3:32:04

second elimination. Can you get into the

3:32:05

goal though? That's the big question. If

3:32:06

you're strapped and Skies will stop the

3:32:08

play at the last second. Yeah, now Sky

3:32:10

just got to get the hell out of here.

3:32:13

rid of the base. He's trying to chase

3:32:14

you down, trying to set up this pinch

3:32:16

play, but Nassie gets the better of him.

3:32:17

And now you're going to turn this into

3:32:18

an immediate counter. There's only two

3:32:20

players from that potentially slow you

3:32:21

down. Mid scrap this time with the MP

3:32:24

MPC instead of the M15. The double is

3:32:26

good enough for now to control the EMP.

3:32:28

Quick grab and go situation here though

3:32:30

with this rotation swiftly making his

3:32:32

way through mid map. Oh no, little self

3:32:35

team stick comes through. That's

3:32:36

unfortunate. It slows down the play of

3:32:38

what looked to be potentially a bull

3:32:40

rush situation for the Thieves. 3:30 on

3:32:43

the clock. Still down three. EMP

3:32:45

retracting back over towards the spawn

3:32:47

to reset.

3:32:49

Trying to pick it up in the middle of

3:32:50

the map.

3:32:52

Know that this space over towards roof

3:32:54

side. It isn't going to be easy to work

3:32:56

with, but we just need to get it out of

3:32:58

our spawn. Great opening kill there from

3:33:00

Scrap. Big flank read there from Azi. So

3:33:03

you have a 4v2, but it's so difficult to

3:33:05

just get past this wave of fights.

3:33:07

>> Yeah, on board just continues to be a

3:33:09

menace on the map. 23 and 14 gets away

3:33:13

with two before the thieves can even

3:33:15

jump across the rooftop. Skies will

3:33:16

follow behind that. Hold on a second.

3:33:18

You can follow this up if you're G2.

3:33:20

Skies lots of damage onto one more.

3:33:21

Scrap low tries to throw a section to

3:33:23

slow down the play, but Sky has the EMP.

3:33:24

Does he have enough support here to

3:33:26

actually get through the gold though and

3:33:27

just rushes it over? You got to find the

3:33:29

train though if you're on boy. Able to

3:33:30

secure it. able to get to the EMP and

3:33:32

no, he's maybe an inch short. And look

3:33:35

at the mini map. Thieves have full

3:33:37

pressure over towards B. Yeah, this is

3:33:38

going to be an instant counter. The only

3:33:40

player that could potentially stop them

3:33:41

is going to be Crest with the relocation

3:33:43

to just go through broken window. Hit at

3:33:45

mid. Cut stalls out everything there for

3:33:48

LA. You allow your teammates to not be

3:33:50

back into play and potentially the

3:33:52

counter right in front of her. Scrap the

3:33:54

only one that could stop him can do

3:33:55

nothing. G2 still up four. Oh, mercy.

3:33:59

Electricity just dramatic back and forth

3:34:01

as Nasty keeps his life post the score.

3:34:04

Foul up on good for skies. Two minutes

3:34:06

on the clock. Four score game. Time

3:34:09

running out here for Thieves.

3:34:12

Got to play quick, man. We got to win

3:34:15

some fights. Almost able to locate the

3:34:17

triple is creme.

3:34:19

>> But with only two minutes to work with

3:34:21

no, we can't continue to fight these

3:34:23

fights over towards Rooftop. We have to

3:34:25

get it over towards Dojo. G2 saying,

3:34:27

"All right, trying to walk right in

3:34:28

front of it."

3:34:29

>> Yeah, it's just there's too much map

3:34:30

control right now for G2.

3:34:32

Just playing a little bit of defensive

3:34:34

focused overload right now. Sky is in

3:34:37

maybe a little bit of trouble here with

3:34:38

the M1 pulls in personal. Hydra finds

3:34:40

the quick shot down and it's sprinting

3:34:41

time for your thieves. Grab playing into

3:34:43

the garage to shut down one angle

3:34:45

approach towards the A zone. The follow

3:34:46

from the carrier is there and with a

3:34:49

minute 20 on the clock, it's now or

3:34:51

never for the might be good enough to

3:34:54

already call the game. G2 with all

3:34:56

pressure have to play at their own pace.

3:34:59

Another three make it four dead in the

3:35:01

feed. Thieves spawning so far away and

3:35:03

we're going to hit the dive to get score

3:35:05

number six. G2 will be able to extend

3:35:08

this game a little bit long because time

3:35:09

is already out of the picture.

3:35:10

>> Yeah, this is definitely one of those

3:35:12

maps you look at and say, "Okay, G2, now

3:35:15

we're back in it." After that one-point

3:35:16

loss on the hard point, you get battered

3:35:19

and bruised on the search and destroy.

3:35:20

Then you come out and put a master class

3:35:22

together on the dead overload. Exactly

3:35:24

what the doctor ordered to try to put

3:35:25

together a reverse sweep versus the

3:35:27

thieves.

3:35:27

>> Yeah, to act of surprise. Almost caught

3:35:29

LA off guard in that map number one. And

3:35:31

you're probably not expecting G2 on a

3:35:33

map where they have played it five

3:35:35

times. Only have won it once to square

3:35:38

up here with this one. But they've been

3:35:40

putting in work and it's showing. Only

3:35:42

30 seconds left. It's mathematically

3:35:44

impossible for the Thieves to even think

3:35:46

about a comeback. We can try to get

3:35:48

these guns a little bit more warmed up

3:35:49

cuz no one is positive right now.

3:35:50

>> Yeah, it is right here for G2 is not

3:35:52

just a victory lap. This is one that's

3:35:54

going to try to continually build a

3:35:56

little bit of a mental edge as we look

3:35:58

at map number four, which is again

3:36:00

another repeat from yesterday for

3:36:01

Thieves and that matchup. So G2, what a

3:36:06

display here on Overload in particular.

3:36:09

The SMGs firing on all cylinders. It's

3:36:12

just way too much to handle if they're

3:36:14

going to play like that. creme showing

3:36:17

what he was like in stage four with his

3:36:19

slaying presence, but then the dark

3:36:21

princess getting kills and also making

3:36:24

those plays to influence spawns a

3:36:26

certain way. G2 were not willing to roll

3:36:29

over and die to take that graph break

3:36:32

and come back, reset it, and you extend

3:36:34

this series a little bit longer.

3:36:36

Absolutely. We'll have plenty of time to

3:36:38

discuss the Hi hard point to come out,

3:36:40

but to see the SMGs, especially Envoy,

3:36:43

start off with that much electricity.

3:36:45

That's like one of those moments or one

3:36:46

of those players you point to. It's like

3:36:48

if Envoy is having a great series, this

3:36:49

G2 team feels like they're at full form.

3:36:51

And I don't want to make it sound like

3:36:52

he's an issue or a problem. It's just

3:36:54

when he provides that where you're

3:36:56

finding a couple of the scores, a couple

3:36:58

of great defensive moments, but more

3:37:00

importantly, your ability to find 30

3:37:02

plus and just roam around the map, it

3:37:04

just frees up the rest of G2 so much. Oh

3:37:06

yeah, this is what G2 were missing

3:37:08

yesterday. Just their slaying presence.

3:37:10

Everyone is providing their 25%.

3:37:12

Sometimes players are going above and

3:37:13

beyond. SMGs is doing what they need to

3:37:16

do to keep their tournament dreams

3:37:18

alive. G2 recently just make this roster

3:37:21

change not too long ago for not one but

3:37:24

two different players so they can

3:37:25

compete in the final two tournaments at

3:37:27

the highest level. You don't want to

3:37:29

roll over and die. You don't potentially

3:37:31

want to go home here on a Friday. And at

3:37:34

least for now, they're still fighting.

3:37:35

>> Yeah. And you called it kind of talking

3:37:37

about this G2 team and what their

3:37:39

overload has looked like over the course

3:37:41

of the last month and a half. Lots of

3:37:42

reps, lots of practice, just not the

3:37:43

amount of success to really kind of

3:37:46

figure in the headto-head on paper that

3:37:48

this was going to go the way that it

3:37:49

did. But I have to say that one of the

3:37:51

things that we've watched G2 over the

3:37:52

course of the last couple of weeks

3:37:54

really start to advance and progress on

3:37:56

was the ability to create extra layers

3:37:57

and not just fall victim to sitting on

3:38:00

your heels a touch of being in constant

3:38:02

2v3s, 3v4s, like build numbers, hold

3:38:05

lives, create pressure on the map. They

3:38:07

did that to an absolute tea here on

3:38:10

Denov.

3:38:12

Whenever you think about a roster like

3:38:13

G2, you're always going to think like in

3:38:15

respawns, they're probably not going to

3:38:17

be one of those top teams that can

3:38:18

consistently always go up the big

3:38:20

numbers, but they can outsmart their

3:38:22

opponents. They can outthink their

3:38:24

opponents and they can have a game plan

3:38:26

that can work. And if they can provide

3:38:28

the slang on top of that, that's what

3:38:30

makes them a very dangerous roster.

3:38:33

>> So, just a simple map to take care of.

3:38:35

finally seeing an overload go through

3:38:39

>> again. Just trying to keep themselves

3:38:41

alive.

3:38:43

>> Yeah, me too. Nate, is he in the venue

3:38:45

today? I know he was at the tables last

3:38:47

night when they lost.

3:38:50

>> I mean, Matt, it's Champs, baby. It's

3:38:52

one of those things that it almost feels

3:38:54

like the rest of the season. Just don't

3:38:56

don't forget about it. Just don't even

3:38:57

think about it. It's an on the day type

3:38:59

event and at least to start off this

3:39:02

day, thieves looking better than they

3:39:04

had yesterday. But still after a

3:39:06

onepoint hardpoint, it's got the big

3:39:08

boss CEO sitting there with an elevated

3:39:10

heart rate starting to think about

3:39:12

urgent care. Hi to hardpoint to come up

3:39:14

next. And kind of the same story that we

3:39:16

talked about when we reflected on

3:39:18

yesterday's sake. Same things existed.

3:39:20

Rotation success not as efficient as

3:39:22

we're used to seeing for thieves on this

3:39:24

map. Falcons, I think in particular,

3:39:26

that one of the greatest things about

3:39:27

what they were able to do was be able to

3:39:29

know when they had an opportunity in

3:39:31

front of them, when they had numbers,

3:39:32

when they're able to win a rotation

3:39:34

because only one thief player got

3:39:36

through us. That was something that was

3:39:37

super successful for them and something

3:39:39

that I would say needs to be replicated

3:39:40

in the minds of G2 if they want to get

3:39:42

to five.

3:39:42

>> Oh yeah, just beat them to the punch.

3:39:44

Make those little things go your way.

3:39:45

Play to your advantages every single

3:39:47

time you get an opportunity to do so.

3:39:50

But just think you still got to bring

3:39:52

that slaying presence, man. On a map

3:39:54

like Cassandra, you know, P1 can

3:39:56

sometimes get extremely mixy. You got to

3:39:59

make decisions. Are we going to fight

3:40:00

for those hallway control? We going to

3:40:01

try to hop in towards the time, but the

3:40:04

team that's going to win the rotation

3:40:05

towards P2s towards the P4s. If you

3:40:07

potentially earn an early hell storm,

3:40:09

you can call the game the first three

3:40:10

hills. So, G2 are here to fight and just

3:40:14

don't want to lose another hard point on

3:40:16

the weekend.

3:40:16

>> No, no, no. I think in particular too

3:40:18

when you look at just the success that

3:40:19

Krem envoy just had in map number three

3:40:21

if they could keep the guns that hot and

3:40:23

win key gunfights over in the middle of

3:40:24

the map that will help a ton when it

3:40:27

comes to once again not necessarily

3:40:28

winning a rotation but putting pressure

3:40:30

to force the thieves to have to make

3:40:31

tough decisions. I always look at that

3:40:34

20 seconds between hills the final 15 or

3:40:36

so on the previous hill into the first

3:40:38

15 or so on the next one. Especially in

3:40:40

a map like Hienda it's not just about

3:40:41

getting there first it's about setting

3:40:43

yourself up correctly. So, as we have

3:40:45

thieves spawning towards spiral side, G2

3:40:47

over towards Office. Let's get it going

3:40:48

for map number four.

3:40:49

>> Tournament lives on the line right now

3:40:51

for G2. How are they going to come out

3:40:52

off of this break up buff? Try to set

3:40:55

the tone and I love the game plan for

3:40:56

both frosters. We're playing for the map

3:40:58

control and so far G2 doing better in

3:41:00

the slang. Three to two in the trade

3:41:02

fight. Now, we hop in the hill.

3:41:03

>> Yeah, really nice from Nasty. Good read,

3:41:05

but doesn't trust it initially on where

3:41:07

the spawns are coming through. Poss. Now

3:41:09

has the info that he needs. Cannot find

3:41:11

the first gunfight window versus Hydra.

3:41:13

Oh, agent of disguise on the find one.

3:41:15

Good damage onto the second and G2 never

3:41:17

leaves the hard point. Good opening time

3:41:19

for Minnesota.

3:41:19

>> Yeah, with 20 seconds left. We're going

3:41:21

to start thinking about new nasty the

3:41:23

great spawn over towards fence line gets

3:41:25

behind Nia secure the better side of the

3:41:27

map. That's three dead off the roto.

3:41:30

Final 10 seconds. Steves know they have

3:41:32

to haul ass all the way across the map

3:41:33

because G2 are going to be ready and

3:41:35

waiting.

3:41:35

>> Big moment here for Envoy and Nasty.

3:41:37

Envoy will lose the first one. Now

3:41:38

holding on to Nasty big pistol win to

3:41:40

come through. He's up to hold the spawns

3:41:41

for just a little bit longer. LA over

3:41:44

the work their way in towards Van lobby

3:41:45

though and you get a read a little bit

3:41:47

of wall bang tag coming through guys has

3:41:49

to be careful of the Lambo explosion G2

3:41:51

are still spawning close can they get

3:41:52

here to support on the hard point though

3:41:54

that's the big question as these are

3:41:55

still waiting for the moment strike yeah

3:41:56

but they contest though at the back

3:41:57

thankfully Nasty catches that trade onto

3:41:59

Hydra to allow his teammates to still be

3:42:01

spawning over towards driveway so that

3:42:03

instantly gives you the advantage in

3:42:05

these numbers and Nasty having another

3:42:07

stellar start here to start off this

3:42:08

hard point on five in a row you give him

3:42:10

this early hell zone you might as well

3:42:12

start thinking about game five. Yeah,

3:42:13

absolutely the case. The easy still

3:42:15

holding in the corner. Scrap is low.

3:42:16

Nature to come through. Need to find two

3:42:17

from the corner. Leaves Nasty by

3:42:19

himself. Essentially the hard one, but

3:42:20

Sky is able to work his way in for two.

3:42:22

They know the last player is over

3:42:23

towards Zig. And this has been flawless

3:42:25

for G2. The fact that Nasty is still

3:42:27

alive is going to feel like an absolute

3:42:29

miracle. And with the last 10 seconds,

3:42:31

pretty much a guarantee. Now we look to

3:42:32

rotation through the middle of the map

3:42:33

over towards Fences. Yeah, that

3:42:35

potentially is a game- saving kill there

3:42:36

from Hydra to just still contest at that

3:42:38

old time and specifically find Nasty on

3:42:41

that streak. as your teammates and

3:42:43

confidence set up off the rotation, but

3:42:44

still G2 are already knocking at the

3:42:46

front door. Everyone supplying pressure

3:42:48

through top flat. The only one able to

3:42:50

get a kill is Nasty. So that's all four

3:42:52

dead, but Swan's flipped. Yeah, but

3:42:53

Scrap's got the read. It's another slow

3:42:55

start for him here in this hard point,

3:42:57

but he's able to at least again get a

3:42:59

read on what's happening in the map.

3:43:00

Envoy stunned up. That makes that

3:43:02

gunfight much easier. Thieves still in

3:43:04

the time for now. G2 setting themselves

3:43:05

up as they have Nasty working up top.

3:43:07

The rest coming through well. Cass is

3:43:09

going to play this one patient, but

3:43:11

their pinch trial player finds the

3:43:12

opening kill. So, everyone else knocking

3:43:14

at the front door going to commit with

3:43:15

the aggression, but they are not

3:43:17

prepared for the crossfire setup there

3:43:19

from LA. Final 22nd is looking to go

3:43:22

their way and they already have a player

3:43:23

off the rotation as well.

3:43:24

>> Yeah, this is a tough moment in this map

3:43:26

early for G2 in terms of decision-m with

3:43:28

the time left. You don't just want to

3:43:29

run away from the time, but you're also

3:43:31

so late to rotation. N still alive,

3:43:32

almost able to find an opportunity to

3:43:34

turn, but K will keep checkers somewhat

3:43:37

contested for now. Be easy trying to

3:43:39

sniff it out but can't find the kill.

3:43:41

Scrap thinking about it. Pistol shots

3:43:43

are out but LA will in the rotation

3:43:44

early over to Rock. Yeah, hopefully

3:43:46

they're able to get these choices before

3:43:47

these tanks start getting invested over

3:43:49

the top. The stun connects on to Scrap.

3:43:52

He still gets the red boy. Scrap's able

3:43:54

to find a double. It keeps the numbers

3:43:56

on their side and now the MVP is on five

3:43:58

in a row. Could be finding himself a

3:43:59

hell soon on top side. Lando taking a

3:44:02

ton of damage. Reload is through. LA has

3:44:04

eight bullets perfectly set up for this

3:44:06

one. The trophy system falls onto finds

3:44:08

two. That's your opener. A easy trying

3:44:09

to stall out the hit, but it's just too

3:44:11

much to deal with. G2 with the break.

3:44:13

Just attacks so good. There's only one

3:44:15

trophy system that can stop everything

3:44:17

coming through the sky.

3:44:19

He's not able to connect onto Envoy.

3:44:21

Opens up that break with a triple. Good

3:44:24

chunk of time still to play with. And

3:44:25

Hydra hitting the water out. Hopefully,

3:44:27

he's going to make the big time play on

3:44:29

this flank. That's kill number two.

3:44:31

Can't find the final. This last 10

3:44:33

seconds is going to G2. Yeah, that broke

3:44:35

down in a way that I wouldn't think

3:44:36

would have happened right there with the

3:44:38

free route that Hydra had plus the

3:44:39

opening first blood from a bezel. Looked

3:44:41

like that was going to be a guaranteed

3:44:42

break for scrap time. But we'll exit the

3:44:44

first rotation at about 20 point game.

3:44:46

Moving back over to Fountain. LA in

3:44:47

first with some good high ground control

3:44:49

window to window.

3:44:49

>> Yeah, this time around on the second

3:44:51

set, we need LA to get this P2 to go

3:44:53

their way. Going to be down by 10. We're

3:44:56

consistently trying to fight for this

3:44:57

hallway control. It's all scattered, but

3:45:00

with a perfect read and throughout that

3:45:02

entire process, he was able to pick up a

3:45:03

helltorm. So, Thieves are going to be

3:45:05

able to take the lead. As long as they

3:45:06

keep this side of the map, they are

3:45:07

happy as hell. Yeah, Hydra first layer

3:45:09

over towards the office. Slows down the

3:45:11

setup in the break attempt for G2. 30

3:45:13

seconds still left on this hard point

3:45:14

and we've got a lead swap. LA now in

3:45:16

control of easy. Four in a row again.

3:45:18

Looking for skies up. Oh. Oh my

3:45:20

goodness. Little mini bounce off the

3:45:21

wall will work. Hydra able to follow

3:45:23

behind that. Can he get everything?

3:45:25

Envoy is low. Hydra with the finish. And

3:45:27

LA still controlling the map, but the

3:45:29

rotation presence for G2 gives them a

3:45:31

chance to get the P2. We got two kills.

3:45:33

We got to go. We got to be the aggressor

3:45:35

cuz everyone off the respawn already for

3:45:36

G2. Have control of lobby. Kremp is able

3:45:40

to locate three. No one takes the long

3:45:42

route. By the time you do, you're the

3:45:44

last man standing. All four for

3:45:46

Krepinator. Rotation for G2. They're

3:45:49

going to be able to take the lead right

3:45:50

on back. And if you are, Thieves are

3:45:51

actually going to invest this out for

3:45:52

here at P2. I don't know if I like it.

3:45:54

>> We'll see how it works out. G2 just

3:45:56

going to bunker up inside of Lambo.

3:45:58

Skies and nasty in the hill. Envoy

3:45:59

trying to play over through Spyro. Swans

3:46:01

will move. Thanks the presence out of

3:46:03

the hell stom, but there are no

3:46:04

eliminations off the back side of the

3:46:05

street. Prable able to get back in from

3:46:07

the front. Nasty swapping between

3:46:08

weapons able to find the opener. Does he

3:46:10

get a read that Hydra's playing this

3:46:12

tight this close? If he could find this

3:46:13

kill, it would be massive for the

3:46:14

effort. Damage is up, but Hydra's able

3:46:16

to win the gunfight. Spawns are still

3:46:17

good for thieves for now.

3:46:18

>> Yeah, that's just not a good sequence

3:46:20

there for LA. You have played Hiendo for

3:46:23

not only this season, but even the last.

3:46:25

We understand hellsomes are impactful at

3:46:27

P3s and P4s.

3:46:29

>> Use it here at the P2 hoping that you

3:46:31

can get yourself into the time, but you

3:46:33

have yet to contest anything. Skies on

3:46:35

four in a row.

3:46:36

>> Get caught with the reload. You're going

3:46:38

to give the final 5 seconds to LA, but

3:46:40

that was a sequence that might cost them

3:46:42

the game.

3:46:43

>> Yeah, I bet this is going to be

3:46:44

interesting cuz Skies does still spawn

3:46:45

out. Hardpoint not open until this exact

3:46:47

moment. So, Envoy's try to get a read

3:46:48

through fire. This is going to force

3:46:50

this rotation all the way around through

3:46:52

office and G2 is fully aware of it. to

3:46:54

find the first information. A little bit

3:46:56

of damage, but Envoy drops. Nasty has to

3:46:58

follow behind this. Able to find the

3:46:59

opener. Good shot. Plus the nade damage

3:47:01

will convert, but the spawns are still

3:47:02

Nixie until Cremp wins it out towards T.

3:47:04

G2 own the hill. And now if you are LA,

3:47:06

you have to go. We got to stop giving up

3:47:08

all of this time. Need to find some

3:47:10

kills. Quickly get over towards the hard

3:47:12

point. This is only 30 seconds left. You

3:47:14

give this up to G2. It's basically GG.

3:47:18

Another kill feed lit up in white. G2

3:47:20

are not losing gunfights. They haven't

3:47:22

been doing this since the beginning of

3:47:23

the season, but they are just pulling

3:47:25

away here on Hi. Shots are nasty for

3:47:28

one. Cramp to take his position. Passes

3:47:29

the baton between the SMGs. Able to get

3:47:31

the win as cramp. The contest from the

3:47:33

front is still at 10 seconds remaining.

3:47:35

LA not really able to get too much out

3:47:36

of the scrap time, but will give them

3:47:38

the default decision of playing for

3:47:40

rotation. 180 to 99. Do or die time for

3:47:43

these.

3:47:43

>> And we know always whenever you have

3:47:45

this much of a lead, the leaders

3:47:47

advantage is one hell of a thing. It

3:47:49

allows you to work on these long routes.

3:47:51

Look at what Skies is doing. Taking his

3:47:53

sweet time all the way up through

3:47:55

fences. Thieves are thinking the

3:47:56

pressure is going to be all out through

3:47:57

the front side of boat. Here comes

3:47:59

Skies. He gets this kill. It would lead

3:48:01

to a break.

3:48:01

>> Huge first kills though for Thieves. It

3:48:03

gives them the luxury of being able to

3:48:04

check this flank.

3:48:06

>> This is taking so long.

3:48:07

>> It's just so long. That's an easy first

3:48:10

30 coming through. Sky eventually able

3:48:12

to follow Ed Sheeran for two through the

3:48:14

side door. It may have taken a while,

3:48:15

but there's that leader advantage you're

3:48:17

talking Yeah, it needs to be guaranteed

3:48:18

if that round is going to take 25 30

3:48:20

seconds to develop. That is still a good

3:48:23

chunk of time here to play with that

3:48:25

rock. Final 30 seconds. G2 looking to

3:48:27

try to soak this one up. They again are

3:48:29

winning piece by allout pressure from

3:48:31

trying to knock at the front door.

3:48:33

There's only one player still finds a

3:48:36

double but

3:48:38

I'll tell you what, man. The NPCs are

3:48:40

starting to really light things up now

3:48:42

for G2 Nasty in particular mostly down.

3:48:44

That SMG is up to 20 and 13 with a

3:48:47

minute 20 in the hill. So 210 plays 125

3:48:51

in LA. Backs are firmly up against the

3:48:53

wall before we consider a potential map

3:48:55

five. You are traveling to keep on

3:48:56

slaying. Keep showing presence around

3:48:58

these hallways.

3:49:00

Not allowing these kids fully set up.

3:49:03

Aren't giving them any breather. You're

3:49:05

understanding weather pressurees coming

3:49:06

in cuz your AS are locked down these

3:49:09

entryways. They only need 30 seconds to

3:49:11

force game five. It's just been total

3:49:13

map control for G2. Even in this moment,

3:49:16

I love this from Crep. You lose two

3:49:18

players up top. I can't stay alive. Get

3:49:20

out of the hard point. Try to hit a

3:49:21

route. Nasty going to join him. Her

3:49:23

shots are in. That will be setting up

3:49:24

Nasty for the ability to follow. And

3:49:26

this is just so good. Now it's just a

3:49:28

hornets. Absolutely flying around the

3:49:31

map for G2. Chance to pull his things

3:49:33

out as P2 is going to be there. If you

3:49:35

are, you have been able to get a B2 all

3:49:37

throughout this game. And now the final

3:49:40

8 seconds of G. You know, you have to

3:49:42

run all the way across the map. We have

3:49:44

to win gun fights that are going to be

3:49:45

extremely difficult to do. So G2 looking

3:49:48

to close it out right here at the speed

3:49:51

to be the last 20 seconds will spawn up

3:49:54

to help the defense of this hard one.

3:49:56

Good read in the corner find

3:50:00

it will be able trapped behind himself

3:50:04

to not the third. Last chance to be by

3:50:06

the way of Hydra. I don't even know if

3:50:08

he's going to make it there in time. No,

3:50:09

not at all. Domination from G25.

3:50:19

They just have way too much firepower

3:50:21

right now in these three months. You

3:50:23

heard the best on it yesterday. Scott

3:50:25

and Nasty don't really put up the best

3:50:28

numbers. They getting ran over in their

3:50:30

series first stage, but today is a

3:50:32

different day. Very on point. Everyone

3:50:37

provided their 25%.

3:50:40

If you are a G2, you're thinking we

3:50:42

should have already won this damn thing.

3:50:44

We're going to a five. Oh man. G2 coming

3:50:48

through in a big way. And that's two

3:50:51

hard points that shut down the MVP and

3:50:53

scrap in one of the more convincing ways

3:50:56

we've seen so far on the year. He's

3:50:59

usually the damage leader, man. right

3:51:00

now he's the least amount of damage on

3:51:02

his team which is insane especially on a

3:51:05

map like unreal stuff G2 have found

3:51:08

themselves some Jimmy luck tell you what

3:51:11

there we go look at the flow it's just

3:51:13

one of those moments that is just close

3:51:15

until it's not absolute runaway in the

3:51:17

second set of hills for team it's the

3:51:19

same problems we were talking about

3:51:21

yesterday rotation not quite there

3:51:24

almost feels and we can we can sit we

3:51:25

can discuss this all day long but it

3:51:27

almost feels like if Hydra doesn't open

3:51:28

up some space for LA they're going to

3:51:30

lose information today, but we also need

3:51:31

to be making better decisions, man. It's

3:51:33

basically a tie game where we go from

3:51:34

the end of P4 over towards the B1.

3:51:37

That's when the BZ is able to earn

3:51:38

himself a helltorm. And you should know

3:51:40

like can't really get any success off

3:51:42

this P2

3:51:44

at that hard point. That could have been

3:51:46

a bailout for you at the P3 or even at

3:51:48

the P4 because G2 are able to dominate a

3:51:51

full 60 there. P2 on the rotation over

3:51:53

towards new as well. And then at that

3:51:55

point, the game is just spiralally out

3:51:56

of control. Bad decisions there from LA

3:51:58

forcing now a game five. And now the

3:52:00

panic starts to set in back again

3:52:01

because like you mentioned if you're T2

3:52:03

talk about that onepoint game in map

3:52:04

number one could possibly you.

3:52:06

Now you're sitting here like wait a

3:52:07

second we should have beat these guys.

3:52:08

Let's just load into number five as soon

3:52:09

as we possibly can. Fortunately we have

3:52:11

to take off break. We'll be back. Sake

3:52:14

search to destroy for map number five.

3:52:16

Don't go anywhere.

What do you think of my shirt today? Uh,

3:55:43

it it is a choice. It's a choice.

3:55:45

Listen, guys, I put this shirt on. I

3:55:46

felt pretty I felt pretty sexy to be

3:55:48

that. I looked in the mirror and

3:55:49

thought, "God, God, goddamn." And then I

3:55:52

got in the green room and everyone said,

3:55:53

"Your shirts too thought. You look like

3:55:54

an idiot." It's just a little too small,

3:55:56

but it works.

3:55:59

>> Welcome to the Esports Report. On this

3:56:02

week's show, we cover the current Codly

3:56:04

standings.

3:56:23

I suck with this,

3:56:32

bro. I'm not eating that ever again.

3:56:35

Shut up.

3:56:37

Oh, we've got ourselves a Friday backto

3:56:40

back map fives. This one with a little

3:56:42

bit more drama as it could potentially

3:56:43

be a reverse sweep, but well more focus.

3:56:47

Our number two seed, our major three

3:56:49

champs, full fire championships, our MVP

3:56:52

and rookie of the year. All the

3:56:54

accolades you could possibly throw onto

3:56:57

one squad. They're under threat of

3:56:59

potentially being knocked out top eight.

3:57:00

Yeah, this would be insane, man. But

3:57:02

what has shown us all throughout this

3:57:04

season is nothing but progression. And

3:57:07

when you want to be at the top as at the

3:57:09

end of the year, they were able to win

3:57:11

major 3, contest optic in the best of

3:57:14

seven series at major 4, at least know

3:57:17

that they are one of the top teams in

3:57:19

the game.

3:57:21

Just right now, the odds are stacked

3:57:22

against them. It's going to be tough

3:57:24

going up against this D2 lineup. They're

3:57:26

phenomenal in search of destroy. We

3:57:28

weren't able to see it in that map

3:57:29

number two, but just building the

3:57:31

momentum off the overload off of the

3:57:32

hard point. They are prepared here on

3:57:34

Sake.

3:57:34

>> Yeah, and that that's a big thing. You

3:57:36

know, we've talked a lot about the

3:57:38

potential this map has as it was added

3:57:40

into the boom late. It felt like teams

3:57:42

had a really tough time figuring things

3:57:43

out offensively just due to the nature

3:57:45

of how the map is laid out. Plus, just

3:57:47

the overall timings as the round starts

3:57:49

to fizzle into 2v2s. It really does feel

3:57:51

like a roll of the dice, not to use very

3:57:53

easy Vegas punt. I think it's just for

3:57:55

me down to some of the same key cores

3:57:58

that we were talking about from

3:57:59

yesterday to today. for thieves in

3:58:02

particular, first blood survivability.

3:58:04

That's number one without question. But

3:58:06

then behind that, let's just say for

3:58:08

instance, they find themselves in low

3:58:09

numbers, not over aggressive to try to

3:58:12

return, make up those numbers quickly

3:58:14

because what we've seen from Falcons and

3:58:16

what we haven't had a chance to see from

3:58:18

G2, we know they can is punish moments

3:58:20

that look like that. Okay, on a

3:58:21

different map,

3:58:23

Sake is going to be played at a totally

3:58:26

different pace. You don't want to give

3:58:28

up early. You instantly want to shut

3:58:30

down any pressure up through that a

3:58:32

street. Just don't allow those

3:58:34

gunfights, that bottom pit to go the

3:58:36

opposite way.

3:58:38

High risk, high reward here. Who's going

3:58:40

to take the biggest chances on the game?

3:58:42

Follow everything on the line. Just

3:58:45

going to have to wait and see. And

3:58:46

here's another question for you. Let's

3:58:47

use your your pro brain here and just

3:58:49

talk about the MTP. That's two pretty

3:58:52

poor hard points out of scrap. Ones

3:58:55

where it feels like Hydra's the one

3:58:56

who's being able to create the moment to

3:58:58

try to build a comeback. What does that

3:59:00

do to not only you as an individual but

3:59:03

the team as a collective when you're

3:59:05

looking at the scoreboard at the end say

3:59:06

like hey my MVP is sitting kind of slack

3:59:08

a little bit. Do you think scrap will be

3:59:09

able to reset himself come back in be

3:59:11

part of the team or do you think he's

3:59:12

going to try to just force something get

3:59:14

the gun hot and see if you can be a

3:59:16

factor early. I think that's what makes

3:59:17

him the MVP because he's able to do

3:59:19

things like that. Have a couple of maps

3:59:22

to still be impactful in the series to

3:59:24

potentially call a game because I always

3:59:26

say it's not about how you start. He

3:59:28

hasn't had the best swans at three

3:59:29

squads. He hasn't had the best search

3:59:31

and destroy. But in this game number

3:59:32

five, if he can just come to life for

3:59:34

his squad, everyone's going to forget

3:59:36

about what he was able to do in this

3:59:39

one. Just take a look at the bracket. We

3:59:41

have phenomenal matches still to come

3:59:43

upon us. Optic be Paris to end out the

3:59:45

night. Falcons be phased with the new

3:59:48

kid on the block and the Luca ready to

3:59:50

cause some more issues, some more

3:59:52

upsets.

3:59:54

But this bracket is sort of filling out

3:59:57

the way I thought it was kind of. Here's

4:00:00

a look at how the weekend will break

4:00:02

down from the prize as well. $800,000

4:00:05

for champion status. But in this

4:00:07

particular match, the difference between

4:00:09

seventh and eighth and fifth and six.

4:00:10

This is a $40,000 map of search and

4:00:13

destroy.

4:00:15

Game is ready. So now we've got all the

4:00:17

stakes. We know how this one could

4:00:20

potentially roll through. Now it's just

4:00:22

down to straight up execution

4:00:25

and it looks like ready to go. So let's

4:00:28

not keep him waiting any longer.

4:00:29

Dropping at the mid sake loading up what

4:00:32

we looking for J. Who's going to set the

4:00:35

tone is the last two maps. We're happy

4:00:38

with the inter G2 just gaining the

4:00:40

momentum off of them which we a one

4:00:44

point hardcore point. How aggressive

4:00:46

they came out in that map number two.

4:00:48

Sake is a different beast. It's going to

4:00:50

be the battle of the SMGs on the side of

4:00:52

low pitch. It's a win or go home

4:00:54

situation. You lose this, you're going

4:00:57

off top eight. You're going to be

4:00:58

sitting a couple weeks before EWC

4:01:00

thinking about the little mistakes in

4:01:02

this series at Central America. Last

4:01:03

thing you want to be doing is fast to

4:01:04

reach for that long on the little

4:01:06

things.

4:01:08

Let's lean forward a little bit. Get

4:01:09

locked in that first sweep on the cards.

4:01:13

It's going to be LA with the opening

4:01:14

attack sake for the third pack number

4:01:16

five. And I going to kick things off.

4:01:18

Boom.

4:01:20

just scouting early on.

4:01:22

Get the class swap now to the F-15

4:01:28

those

4:01:29

little maps to be able to take a lot of

4:01:33

potentially displanted. That's a good

4:01:34

refle

4:01:36

keeping that bar window contested means

4:01:39

that this site is not as free as it may

4:01:41

feel. Here comes the play will bounce

4:01:45

off and find the initial counters early.

4:01:47

grab off the reb

4:01:51

to get this to go 2v2 cramp grenade

4:01:53

start to do it all 2v2 45 seconds

4:01:58

challenge easy absolutely rips up two HP

4:02:02

in his dream he stays alive but it's up

4:02:03

to the rookie of the year in a little

4:02:04

bit of trouble the smoke gives him some

4:02:06

space to find maybe a little bit of

4:02:08

space to work with 30 seconds the clock

4:02:10

bomb in hand this is a round test that

4:02:13

takes so much time

4:02:16

shots come through 52 with the opener.

4:02:19

And how about Crab? He got all four.

4:02:25

Told you it's about these SMGs to start

4:02:27

off this one. It's a slow and steady

4:02:30

round for G2 to just try to read if

4:02:32

these are going to be the ultra

4:02:33

aggressors through a bit. But once they

4:02:36

don't spot anyone and envoy gathers that

4:02:38

information, someone is head glitching

4:02:40

that Bomb site. It's a twoman push and

4:02:43

creme giving them the fist bump. A

4:02:45

perfect starting round there for G2. I

4:02:47

love just the overall bid round

4:02:48

committed to two. I'm going with the re

4:02:50

ski guys to confirm and then the SMG

4:02:52

rewrapped in the pit. Beautiful for G2

4:02:56

and you got creme roaring in round one.

4:02:59

Confidence is limitless. G2's attack.

4:03:06

Little late walk through for Kit towards

4:03:08

B. Shots over towards the staircase.

4:03:10

Looking for first bloody

4:03:13

huge supposed to relocate his position

4:03:16

to a different spot. They're still going

4:03:18

to be committed. He's got to contest

4:03:20

with the smoke grenade. Hopefully K is

4:03:22

going to be ready. He's not with the

4:03:24

first blood on but with a quick

4:03:25

response. He's a little bit stuck right

4:03:26

now.

4:03:28

The planet skies himself a little bit of

4:03:30

an extra release on life. What does

4:03:32

Hydra do? Oh, he takes shots his

4:03:34

position now. No, Sky checks to make

4:03:36

sure there's no really diffuse. 3v2 for

4:03:38

G2. Hydra and Scrap try to work together

4:03:41

to find any of these G2 postfire

4:03:42

defenders, but they can't find anybody

4:03:44

yet. Nasty is now the next one to check.

4:03:46

No one's on for the diffuse. So G2 can

4:03:48

continue to just kill time. Not a single

4:03:51

shot has ran out in the last 30 seconds.

4:03:54

And Hydra still not going to use the

4:03:56

weapon. Now it's too large. Finds the

4:03:59

win over the top of the bomb side. How

4:04:01

do they win that?

4:04:07

Hands on your head, Al. That is one of

4:04:10

those frowns you cannot let happen. It

4:04:14

was 14 seconds left. 3v2.

4:04:18

No one is spotted on the side of LA. And

4:04:21

it's Hydra with a surprising act. Knife

4:04:24

for the first. Nasty is not expecting

4:04:26

his teammate to fall. He finds the

4:04:29

second kill immediately as Scrap knows

4:04:32

my teammate is clearing out there. So

4:04:33

just watch the back end. He steal that

4:04:36

round away. T's got to be demoralizing.

4:04:39

No doubt. What a swing bat.

4:04:42

Someone do well in this check on a shot.

4:04:44

Here we go. I wonder what he's going to

4:04:45

win.

4:04:47

LA looking to go with a little bit of

4:04:49

direction here towards to block off the

4:04:50

initial cross aggressive. The stuns to

4:04:53

support this play, but attacks come

4:04:55

through. G have a good read on this and

4:04:56

it's all the play and now take the map

4:04:58

away.

4:04:59

G2 trying to surround them. Prep this

4:05:01

time of the first blood again, but all

4:05:03

it is is a distraction.

4:05:06

the map. Scott holding down the re pitch

4:05:08

gets the better of strap and he's just

4:05:10

trying to finesse at least allows CB

4:05:11

back to the play but it's 2v2 and this

4:05:13

is where it gets into those 2v2 number

4:05:15

situations where it's all about just

4:05:17

sheer timing and envoy a lot of damage

4:05:20

on the knee but can't quite finish the

4:05:21

kill and turn this into a numbers

4:05:22

advantage for G2's defense

4:05:25

take a breath

4:05:27

40 the clock

4:05:30

is still on the thief to make a call

4:05:32

just can't really do anything from this

4:05:33

rock position if you are play. It's

4:05:36

working out even better for G2 cuz he

4:05:37

gets two two split and look how much

4:05:39

space already takes but a catch nasty on

4:05:42

the first one v2 it's no repeat of the

4:05:47

year able to respond to the back side of

4:05:49

the staircase

4:05:50

that's two in a row for thieves

4:05:55

you know the rookie is always always

4:05:57

going to provide a moment

4:06:00

never going to shy away from ch

4:06:03

up close and personal versus an M50 15.

4:06:07

But Nam is always going to do something

4:06:09

unexpected.

4:06:11

Catches the dark pits off guard. Like I

4:06:14

said, two rounds in a row for these to

4:06:15

give them the lead.

4:06:19

The tension is palpable.

4:06:23

G2's next attack. Are they going to try

4:06:25

for a little bit of aggression after

4:06:27

showing a little bit of patience in

4:06:28

their first approach? Not this time.

4:06:30

going to be able to get some really easy

4:06:32

first blood on the scrap over on the top

4:06:34

side of the staircase. That creates a

4:06:36

lot of opportunity here for G2. They're

4:06:37

still going to want to focus through H3

4:06:39

and you've got staircase control. We'll

4:06:40

talk with these are going to try to make

4:06:42

up for that starting st connects on to

4:06:45

envoy for that trade. But if one of the

4:06:48

opposite side of the map is better,

4:06:49

everyone finding their one-on- ones to

4:06:51

Sky 1 v3. It falls apart so quickly

4:06:54

chase nowhere to go. And initially when

4:06:57

scrap gets peeled right there with the

4:06:58

setup that G2 had, you're sitting here

4:07:00

feeling like oh we've got this is

4:07:01

completely in control. But a great

4:07:03

followup stunt for LA and recontest

4:07:05

works out for the number of situations.

4:07:07

Turn their heads telling that's

4:07:09

situation when you hit that like that

4:07:10

quickly. You had all the map control.

4:07:13

You had bottom pit. You're reading those

4:07:15

pitch angles. We can't waste any time.

4:07:17

Just get it planted.

4:07:20

Javon Carrier was the guy watching the

4:07:22

pitch. So it's Steve again just

4:07:24

continuing on the hot streak. Four in a

4:07:27

row now. Die's up two.

4:07:31

Not a time to panic for G2. He would

4:07:33

love to try to find something to

4:07:35

continue to move the narrative around.

4:07:36

Not allow to feel confident. Another

4:07:38

quick hit over the bomb here. This is a

4:07:41

straight TDM push for looking to try to

4:07:43

overwhelm the defender on the back side

4:07:44

of the Here comes by the first gets the

4:07:47

second. It's a bold call for De but

4:07:50

execution doesn't work out. There's been

4:07:51

a couple of blast of this Hydra and it's

4:07:53

a bold call, but it comes up empty. Hey,

4:07:56

you're just expecting G2 to try to

4:07:57

contest you around that midmap area.

4:08:00

You're able to chain three rounds in a

4:08:01

row. You're thinking, "All right, G2 had

4:08:03

to switch up their base."

4:08:05

It's a slow pace break. Every time

4:08:08

someone challenged Prep down in bottom

4:08:10

fifth, that's his playground.

4:08:13

Another situation where you give him

4:08:15

another first blood. Envoy with a quick

4:08:18

second and then just in the right spot

4:08:21

at the right time. Get dropped right in

4:08:22

front of me. 73 star for crepinator. G2

4:08:26

stop the leading down one. I'll tell you

4:08:27

what though, that play works for LA.

4:08:29

That messes with G2's minds defensively

4:08:32

so badly.

4:08:34

Not in this game. Not today. LA

4:08:37

aggression here over towards the A

4:08:38

defensively. Got him watching on high

4:08:41

court back in that same position with

4:08:43

nice shots to prep for the 3v3

4:08:49

gets invested just trying to stay alive

4:08:52

this entire time is scouting through the

4:08:55

side

4:08:57

a single player from thieves trying to

4:08:59

gather some information I don't even

4:09:01

know if they saw it easy on that cross

4:09:03

so don't miss a bit trying to follow him

4:09:06

the same path he is the last time we

4:09:08

were here defensively And that staircase

4:09:10

nasty in trouble. Hypert chasing down

4:09:13

that play from G2. But Nasty being low

4:09:16

gives LA a lot of confidence that they

4:09:18

know they've got him pinned for at least

4:09:19

a little while.

4:09:23

You can get Mr. Plumbrris to get this

4:09:24

one down for you. You're going to be

4:09:25

happy as hell to RG2. 30 seconds to go.

4:09:28

Going to come in on pawn planet. Two

4:09:30

teams get here quick enough. See the

4:09:32

first one forward as he gets out. He

4:09:35

chased he will not get away.

4:09:38

What a play though from Hydra to be able

4:09:40

to chase down G2, but it looked like

4:09:41

they were about to completely reset the

4:09:43

map with numbers. Changes the dynamic of

4:09:45

the round completely. Now Luke, yeah,

4:09:47

it's just a different map compared to

4:09:48

Gridlock here on Sake. When you have

4:09:51

those numbers, you have to keep that

4:09:52

back control cuz timing is not going to

4:09:54

always go your way, but everyone turns

4:09:57

to try to isolate onto a bezy that

4:09:59

allows Hydra to do what Hydra does.

4:10:03

comes behind enemy lines, finds a

4:10:04

double,

4:10:06

doesn't allow that clutch to go down.

4:10:10

Again, another two round lead here for

4:10:11

Thieves. I think you're G2 right now.

4:10:14

You say, Crim, what do you want to do?

4:10:16

Currently 9 and four. Two first bloods.

4:10:20

Can you follow behind the hot hand and

4:10:23

get this thing back to a one round game?

4:10:26

So far though, on the attack, they have

4:10:28

been very patient. hasn't fully worked

4:10:32

out. Defensively, kind of the same

4:10:33

thing. They're just happy to let the

4:10:35

first 30 seconds come and go. So, it

4:10:36

will not be the case here again for G2

4:10:37

and Mustin round.

4:10:42

We're at the rock position. So, he's

4:10:43

going to commit to

4:10:46

has one second to change it and now he

4:10:47

can no longer do that.

4:10:50

Committed with the sniper. This is going

4:10:52

to be a slow round here for LA. I think

4:10:54

it was Sky that he may have caught a

4:10:56

small shoulder on Sky is a challenging

4:10:58

rock. He's just making sure Envoy's

4:11:00

backside is covered. The big point here

4:11:03

is what Nasty wants to do. And with

4:11:06

Scrap taking a lot of damage and a stun,

4:11:09

Nasty some more space through Sky. The

4:11:11

first blood follow from Hydra again and

4:11:13

solid early 3v3, but Nasty still scaled

4:11:16

deep towards the LA attack. He's hitting

4:11:18

that bottom pit. Bob's going to be right

4:11:21

around this corner. chooses timing spots

4:11:24

to dusk coming off the ground track of

4:11:28

him. Dam takes care of nasty numbers for

4:11:30

LA but quickly a 2v2 under 30 to play.

4:11:33

The a sight is wide open though is just

4:11:35

going to make sure the defense cannot

4:11:37

get here to contest the plan instead. G2

4:11:40

will take the scenic route. Can they

4:11:41

catch a bezy though? Try to play back

4:11:43

over through mid pit

4:11:46

forward.

4:11:48

Now it's time to hydro 1 V2 and he

4:11:52

resets in the exact same spot that the

4:11:54

BCB just did. Would you double check

4:11:56

this is for D2?

4:11:58

25 on the clock. Hydra get sele.

4:12:03

Big ground for D2.

4:12:05

Just not in a position to check that

4:12:07

bomb. It's about 10 15 seconds. No noise

4:12:10

being created. Eventually you have to

4:12:13

make sure it's clear

4:12:16

and G2 play it patient.

4:12:19

Fantastic round again to stop the

4:12:22

leading.

4:12:23

Turn it into a 2v2.

4:12:26

Somehow you're going to stay off to a

4:12:28

easy for that first one.

4:12:32

Now we go into the swing round. I mean

4:12:33

that one v one is milliseconds away from

4:12:36

going the other way. It's just who

4:12:38

catches who hunts first. 43.

4:12:44

Now the question about G2's tempo in

4:12:46

this next attack.

4:12:48

They've been quite reserved, quite

4:12:50

patient trying to find info. This

4:12:52

breakoff feels a little different

4:12:53

though. A over towards rocks. All right.

4:12:56

Watch over towards A3 Street. But once

4:12:58

more G2 not looking to fight the first

4:13:00

game 30

4:13:04

in a row. Shots prematurely getting shot

4:13:07

down from scrap.

4:13:10

Potentially catch three that they were

4:13:12

aggressive through bottom pit. 30

4:13:13

seconds already gone. Two two split

4:13:15

step. Yeah, G2 have to know that because

4:13:17

they didn't challenge P very well. There

4:13:19

go straight all the way to four. The

4:13:22

follow up again trying to force him to

4:13:25

support numbers. Stay with G2's attack

4:13:28

on the map though for Hydra the back.

4:13:31

Shots are through. Low health find. It's

4:13:34

on the Hydra 1 v3. He may find time for

4:13:38

free is the ball carrier but Hydra can't

4:13:40

slip away. We're tied at four. Just a

4:13:42

slow and steady wins the race. Game play

4:13:44

here from G2 is catching these off

4:13:48

guard. Remember they decide to be the

4:13:50

aggressors. So many stunts. So many are

4:13:53

getting invested in the first 5 to 10

4:13:55

seconds with scrap prefiring on the

4:13:58

backside of bar.

4:14:00

You have done your homework. You know

4:14:03

what teams love to do here on stock.

4:14:05

Last time that they played it, it went

4:14:07

all the way to around 11. And we might

4:14:10

be going there again.

4:14:13

The fan base at the beginning of this

4:14:14

series had a much more verbal and vocal

4:14:17

LA fan base, but those that abstained

4:14:19

are now finding a bit of identity with

4:14:21

this G2 potential Cinderella story.

4:14:26

Hydra looking to send it straight on

4:14:29

towards the side. G2 crab thrown towards

4:14:34

the not Hydra from planting. That's

4:14:38

going to lead to a post play three for

4:14:39

teams to work with. Clock is going to be

4:14:42

your best friend.

4:14:44

G2 are looking to catch the playmaker.

4:14:46

Someone going on this route to make up

4:14:48

for those numbers. They are sold out so

4:14:50

much time. The smoke grenade is only

4:14:51

going to assist

4:14:55

able to put this round to bed. Now they

4:14:57

want an easy follow up. It's just down

4:14:59

to Can they find their PC? And yes, they

4:15:02

can. G2

4:15:05

series point

4:15:13

K is doing it all man. 13 and six here

4:15:17

in the game five on a main stage here at

4:15:21

Con Champs versus one of the top teams

4:15:24

in the game.

4:15:27

Another blind counter works out.

4:15:31

It has been three rounds in a row here

4:15:33

for G2.

4:15:36

They're sitting at game point and geese

4:15:39

now packs against the wall. The

4:15:41

collective heart rate of the arena I

4:15:43

think is all gone up about 20 to 30

4:15:45

beats.

4:15:48

G2 onto the attack.

4:15:52

Patience once again not giving anything

4:15:56

away. Just a couple of few out nades.

4:15:59

Nothing landed yet. Here

4:16:02

we go. Trying to force the mind games of

4:16:05

G2.

4:16:07

But this is the guy that we need to

4:16:09

watch.

4:16:10

He's been in the Sonic Factor so many

4:16:12

rounds for Minnesota. He's going to be

4:16:15

able to find the first second as well.

4:16:17

Easy. He will fall the ball. It's just

4:16:20

down to Neo. One v four situation. Can

4:16:23

you believe it? Not again.

4:16:27

Not for a second year.

4:16:30

in trouble.

4:16:32

Get to complet.

4:16:56

It's as simple as that. They had a one

4:16:59

point difference in mass number one. But

4:17:01

hey, obviously think we should have

4:17:03

closed that one out. The game ran over

4:17:05

in the search to destroy. You have to

4:17:07

rely on the game mode that you were not

4:17:10

able to have successfully

4:17:13

roster was formed. But it's one map at a

4:17:16

time. It is one moment at a time.

4:17:19

Experience plays a part. And G2 complete

4:17:23

the first week. move on to the

4:17:25

tournament and your major champions, one

4:17:28

of the top teams in the game, don't win

4:17:31

a series again here at chance. Get sent

4:17:34

home back.

4:17:38

It doesn't feel plausible. It's crazy,

4:17:42

man. It just doesn't feel like it could

4:17:44

happen,

4:17:47

especially considering the circumstances

4:17:50

put up against the Falcon that everyone

4:17:52

like, "What are they doing?

4:17:54

But hey, history after two weeks of pre

4:18:00

has been the biggest culprit for where

4:18:03

thieves have found their Achilles heel.

4:18:07

Whether it's overlooking your opponent

4:18:08

or just not having the information you

4:18:10

want to feel cracked up,

4:18:13

maybe you can boil it down to kind of

4:18:15

like what you saw in the world as your

4:18:17

superstars just didn't show up. Your MVP

4:18:19

goes three and nine after a near double

4:18:21

performance in that corner.

4:18:24

goes 146 almost 2,000 damage four first

4:18:28

blood

4:18:34

that game

4:18:35

pressure at its highest. You know that

4:18:38

you're the team that's facing with

4:18:39

nothing to lose cuz all the pressure was

4:18:42

on LA

4:18:44

and get sent home. That is what four

4:18:48

series here at Cam two years in a row

4:18:51

with a duo of Hydra and Scraps don't win

4:18:55

one at the most important tournament of

4:18:58

the year. Doesn't matter about the MVPs.

4:19:00

It doesn't matter about the rookie of

4:19:02

the year. They know that they want to

4:19:03

host this trophy. And unfortunately for

4:19:06

them, they're not going to get a chance

4:19:07

to do it. We're lost for words as I

4:19:11

think most probably is right now on top

4:19:13

of that. But G2, a team to not ever

4:19:16

really be touted or discounted, have

4:19:19

found a way to take down the thieves who

4:19:21

got plays on the main stage for a

4:19:22

postgame reaction.

4:19:24

I mean, I got somebody on the main stage

4:19:26

who probably has a lot of words to say.

4:19:28

Everybody

4:19:31

too.

4:19:33

And I got with me on the main

4:19:35

stage. And man, this is your first

4:19:38

reverse sweep of the year. and to do it

4:19:40

here at Champs. We've been calling you

4:19:42

guys the dark horses all year long if

4:19:45

you guys showed up when it mattered. And

4:19:48

there's so much to really kind of talk

4:19:49

about here in this series, but you guys

4:19:51

lose one of the most heartbreaking hard

4:19:54

points we've seen all year. You

4:19:56

dominated SND, but you're going into

4:19:58

that overload. What did you guys talk

4:20:00

about in the break before you headed

4:20:01

into map three? Uh to be honest, we

4:20:03

should have won map one. I pulled up my

4:20:05

knife. Uh, we just knew that they were

4:20:07

lowkey like they still felt like they're

4:20:09

very beatable. It felt like it was like

4:20:10

it's still in our favor. The respawns

4:20:12

weren't really close and going to map

4:20:14

three, we just kept the same energy and

4:20:15

just came out hot. You guys came out

4:20:18

really hot,

4:20:20

especially the map three. I mean, you

4:20:22

guys ran it up here in the overload with

4:20:24

multiple caps. Talk to me about how that

4:20:26

kind of alleviated some pressure coming

4:20:27

off your shoulders going into that map

4:20:29

four because I know you guys did not

4:20:31

want to have that same loss in another

4:20:33

hard point. only different in map four

4:20:35

to be honest. We just need to see one go

4:20:37

in. We won map three. We should have won

4:20:39

map one is what we're thinking. We're

4:20:40

running them in and the response. So,

4:20:42

we're going to map four like, "Bro, we

4:20:44

got this bro. Let's play our game.

4:20:45

Let's get in it, bro. Let's get in it."

4:20:47

And you guys got in it. Going to the map

4:20:50

five. All right. You know, 44 on the

4:20:53

board. Before you guys go up there,

4:20:57

what was the play call here toward? What

4:21:00

was one of your guys' hands once you

4:21:01

finally got up in there in the rounds

4:21:03

and went 54? Oh, the last round. Damn.

4:21:06

Oh, man. I just said I'm long right now.

4:21:08

They Mr. Tags. it. I'm doing

4:21:10

something. I ran up long. I don't

4:21:13

you, right?

4:21:17

I mean, you guys are going to go play on

4:21:19

Saturday and you guys are starting to

4:21:21

feel like the G2 that we've been waiting

4:21:23

to see all season. Keep these fans

4:21:26

tight. What do you want to say to them

4:21:27

as they get ready to come in here to the

4:21:29

video tomorrow? Because I think some of

4:21:32

those red jerseys may flip to that G2

4:21:34

red going tomorrow. I mean, bro,

4:21:36

everyone bleed, bro, but they got to get

4:21:38

R. We're going to keep getting hot. No,

4:21:40

I'm just kidding. I love my team. Uh,

4:21:42

keep playing our game. Keep playing our

4:21:44

game, man. I mean, bro, we That was big

4:21:46

for us, bro. Just the vibe of it. We're

4:21:48

going to come out crazy tomorrow for

4:21:49

sure. You heard it here from

4:21:50

everybody. They're coming out crazy. And

4:21:53

Champs isn't over for G2 yet.

4:21:56

this. Let's take it away. Just like

4:22:00

that, the thieves have been robbed of a

4:22:02

chance at a world title. G2 is here,

4:22:05

causing a massive upset, and we have to

4:22:08

celebrate with one of the legends of the

4:22:10

Call of Duty community. You know him as

4:22:11

a player winning trophies for Rise

4:22:13

Nation. He's been rocking behind the

4:22:15

scenes for Minnesota for a while,

4:22:16

wounding, welcome to the desk, head

4:22:18

coach, GM by nature. What are you doing

4:22:20

these days? And how proud are you of

4:22:22

these guys? Uh, very proud. Obviously,

4:22:24

we start there, I They got a good bounce

4:22:25

back out of us after about losing I

4:22:28

think what that's five map eight or

4:22:29

something like that four off the phase

4:22:30

from yesterday. So um proud of them for

4:22:33

the overload of course I mean L's been a

4:22:35

strong overload team all year and then

4:22:37

kind of just hold going to the map four

4:22:38

is our respawn dominant. We obviously

4:22:40

threw away uh at hard point so we just

4:22:42

to keep that up there and uh the paid

4:22:45

off on sake as well. I was getting a

4:22:47

little sketchy button up.

4:22:48

>> It was getting a little sketchy. That

4:22:50

map one 250 249. You guys have been in

4:22:55

three of our seven finishes where it is

4:22:58

250 to 249. What is that like as a coach

4:23:01

behind the scenes? Uh it's

4:23:03

nerve-wracking of course. Uh going into

4:23:05

a P2 obviously we thought we had it. I

4:23:08

think Byron took a child out the front

4:23:10

door, thought he should have won it. And

4:23:11

then I'm sure you guys you two know a

4:23:14

setting got added mid-season where you

4:23:16

can press to take your knife out or

4:23:18

everyone loves it because you can just

4:23:20

you know you move around the map so much

4:23:21

but it has literally costed us magic but

4:23:24

I'm not even kidding online where I play

4:23:26

that I have to like find the balance of

4:23:28

the settings or like it costed us once

4:23:31

again. I think I was going through the

4:23:32

alley P2 knife I would have seen knife

4:23:35

out in a gunfight and I'm just like oh

4:23:37

no it's going to end bad. Uh, it is what

4:23:39

it is, but you guys lose by a point,

4:23:40

right? You felt like you had the

4:23:41

advantage. So, talk to me like what's

4:23:43

the discussion like after that game two

4:23:45

where you're like, man, it could be 1-1

4:23:47

right now. What did you guys talk about

4:23:48

in that break to come back because that

4:23:50

overload where they had every advantage

4:23:52

in the world, you guys dominated? Yeah.

4:23:54

So, going into the map three when I got

4:23:56

on the headset, obviously they uh they

4:23:57

had a really good stretch against us,

4:23:58

outplayed us, I think, with a couple

4:24:00

situations I noticed. It was more so

4:24:02

just the confidence. It was a lot of

4:24:03

asking questions. Do you guys want to

4:24:05

retake this map? Should we wait? Should

4:24:06

we? So, I kind of just came on the mic

4:24:08

and said, "Listen, I don't want to hear

4:24:09

questions at this point of the year,

4:24:11

this point of uh tournament. If you have

4:24:13

a feeling like we should retake this

4:24:14

ball now, just do it." So, I was like,

4:24:16

"Overlook's kind of the same thing,

4:24:17

right? Like, are you going to wrap the

4:24:18

ball? Are you going to ask questions?"

4:24:19

Like, "No, yo, if someone wants to wrap

4:24:20

it, just say let's wrap it and we're

4:24:21

going to just keep out there. We got to

4:24:24

start rolling some highlights. We're

4:24:25

going to start watching some keep

4:24:27

talking me through this."

4:24:28

>> Yeah. So like I said going into the

4:24:30

overload Batman

4:24:32

and the hard points look so good and

4:24:34

just I just wanted the decision making

4:24:36

to be way more confident and I knew that

4:24:38

first part you guys ended on the first

4:24:40

one after the first round here. We saw

4:24:43

an ace from which I'm sure we'll relive

4:24:45

but then it looks like thieves were

4:24:47

taking the lead 3-1 at this point in the

4:24:50

game. Is it always crap that Billy

4:24:52

search and destroys? What turns around

4:24:55

for this G2 slot? Honestly, this year,

4:24:58

uh, obviously he's been our bailout. I

4:25:00

think the addition of Bill and just some

4:25:02

of the calls he's making and, uh, the

4:25:04

reads he's making. I I always like, uh,

4:25:06

coaching players that kind of, you know,

4:25:09

they play before midway into an SND. You

4:25:11

know, the adap play all about adapting.

4:25:14

What have they done, what have they done

4:25:15

that's worked, what they haven't, what

4:25:17

are they going to throw at us. So I

4:25:18

think we just kind of stay confident

4:25:19

through that little comeback we had and

4:25:21

I stepped up ultimately at the end.

4:25:22

>> Yeah.

4:25:24

I mean

4:25:26

every single round

4:25:30

two up

4:25:35

the end of the game close out those

4:25:38

rounds got a lot of love in the sub and

4:25:41

we're making so many plays so many first

4:25:43

blood and so many clutch ups in the late

4:25:45

round of SMD right there. Dude, you just

4:25:46

sent the team that won Major 3 and was

4:25:49

in the grand finals of Major 4 packing

4:25:52

here on day two. A massive upset and I

4:25:55

have a feeling it all started with this

4:25:56

play. It's our stuff play of the match.

4:25:58

Let's take a look at creme the ace and

4:26:01

it all starts with a 1v one against a

4:26:04

little bit. Walk me through this play.

4:26:07

The kid just knows how to play Black Ops

4:26:09

7. That first kill, he's just wall

4:26:10

bouncing. The guy thinks he's dropping.

4:26:12

He's up high. This gunfight was unreal.

4:26:14

And then I think we got a good spot on

4:26:16

DM at the very end. So we kind of knew

4:26:17

he was there.

4:26:21

Perspective the fact that he won that

4:26:23

third fight right he went versus one of

4:26:25

the straightest if not the straightest

4:26:26

shooter in Call of Duty history. So the

4:26:28

fact that shooting like this is very

4:26:30

scary for all the other teams still left

4:26:32

in the tournament. And they may ask you

4:26:33

because Trev was coming off of a pretty

4:26:35

bad performance at the last major. What

4:26:37

did you guys work on to get his

4:26:38

confidence back because a 1.22 against

4:26:41

the champs who have been unbelievable.

4:26:43

How was he able to do this?

4:26:44

>> Exactly that, man. I think after me or

4:26:46

four, he was hard on himself. You know

4:26:47

how you are as a player. You know when

4:26:48

you you know not playing to your

4:26:49

standards. So I told my uh obviously you

4:26:52

know Godzip our analyst team manager. I

4:26:54

was like listen man these two weeks of

4:26:56

practice we had let's just feed Kyle

4:26:57

confidence. Can I have non-stop

4:26:59

confidence? One final question. We got

4:27:01

to be moving on to the winners bracket

4:27:02

after this. But it is such a story for

4:27:04

me that scrap earns MVP backto back

4:27:06

regular seasons. You just made the man

4:27:09

go negative 27 I believe negative 37

4:27:13

ridiculous a6 in this series against

4:27:16

you. Are you able to shut down scrap?

4:27:20

How did you guys do it? Uh based on what

4:27:22

the knowledge I had, I think the PC

4:27:24

stopped him. I know he was having issues

4:27:25

about uh PC. So shout out that PC.

4:27:28

>> Shout out to technology. It failed scrap

4:27:31

today, but G2 gets the win. Looney,

4:27:33

we'll let you go celebrate. Ladies and

4:27:36

gentlemen, don't go anywhere. G2 is

4:27:38

powering through the bracket and so are

4:27:40

we. When we come back, we're moving to

4:27:42

the top half. Who is moving in to our

4:27:45

winners final optic versus gentle mates

4:27:47

and Falcons versus Faze in the second

4:27:49

half of day two.

4:28:05

Come on.

4:28:07

This

4:28:10

right there,

4:28:32

official controller of the CDL.

4:28:37

Player X is the official esports fantasy

4:28:43

Monster Energy, the official energy

4:28:49

brought to you by American Navy and the

4:28:51

special operators who work in the

shadows.

4:29:11

Heat. Heat.

4:29:39

I know

4:29:42

going wrong for me.

4:29:46

You got

4:29:48

to my way. Heat. Heat.

4:30:12

Here

4:30:21

we go.

4:30:32

What did you say? It's

4:30:36

trying to avoid

4:30:39

another silver medal.

4:30:41

This is my time to go. We win. We push.

4:30:46

We win. Back to back.

4:30:51

Out of nowhere.

4:30:52

>> Unbelievable.

4:30:57

It's history.

4:31:06

The champions of the world.

4:31:10

Oh my god. Oh my god.

4:31:31

Go back. Rewind it.

4:31:34

>> Oh man. Oh,

4:31:39

what the is going on now?

4:31:49

>> Sorry.

4:31:51

Is that

4:31:52

you really?

4:31:54

>> Find me this guy, bro. I need this guy.

4:31:57

No,

4:31:58

>> no, no. I need somebody to find me this

4:31:59

guy. Whoever this guy is, whoever's at

4:32:01

the venue right now, you find me this

4:32:03

guy.

4:32:03

>> Yeah, Tom's got a 10k reward.

4:32:06

This is awful. I'm going Toronto. I got

4:32:08

Toronto winning in this series. I think

4:32:10

they get it done at four.

4:32:11

>> Like a mix of George Washington and a

4:32:13

Disney prince.

4:32:14

>> What is that? D.

4:32:16

>> Okay. Production. This is a sick weird

4:32:18

joke. Give me my pick now. I'm going

4:32:21

thsy.

4:32:28

I got Texas baby.

4:32:32

Bro, where did you pull that out from? I

4:32:34

wonder what the hell is going on in

4:32:36

Columbus.

4:32:46

Grab the thing. Let's go and get a

4:32:49

score. I'll get the kills. Just ride it

4:32:52

through that hole. Grab the thing. Make

4:32:56

sure you score. I'll get the kills. Make

4:33:00

sure

4:33:11

you're my son.

4:33:13

You're my son. You're my son. You got

4:33:17

out of here.

4:33:33

>> They're going to get you reacting to you

4:33:34

reacting to you reacting to

4:33:38

stage. They just add another stage.

4:33:39

>> They're adding me reacting to me

4:33:41

reacting to me reacting to me reacting

4:33:43

to

4:33:44

>> every stage. I added you reacting.

4:33:46

That's

4:33:46

>> I'm reacting to me reacting reacting to

4:33:50

a clip of me reacting me reacting to a

4:33:52

clip of me. Unbelievable. I'm reacting

4:33:55

to a clip of me talking about reacting

4:33:57

reacting to the clip of me reacting

4:33:59

reacting harder.

4:34:02

Insane. That is insane. Dad

4:34:14

child

4:34:22

was ready. You're awful

4:34:26

or tough guy.

4:34:27

>> Wait, I think

4:34:28

>> Yeah, they have daddy by the way.

4:34:33

Hold

4:34:37

that.

4:34:39

>> Nice, bro.

4:35:07

Scrap falls up with another one. It's

4:35:09

all going to be on to breast now to make

4:35:10

the play and he can't do it. This is

4:35:12

dominant from Ultra. Scrap just stood

4:35:14

up, celebrated, took off his headset.

4:35:16

You got another round, bud. He's locked.

4:35:20

He said, "My bad.

4:35:30

What the is going on?

4:35:36

>> Caesar skies bueno.

4:35:41

Bueno's putting his balls on the table,

4:35:44

bro.

4:35:48

>> I'm in there. There's another one on me.

4:35:53

Yo, come are you going

4:36:08

>> I was working.

4:36:11

>> Did you feel bad about eliminating Vegas

4:36:13

Legion from Champs?

4:36:15

>> Yes and no. Yes, they're seeing him like

4:36:18

them like I don't know actually you are

4:36:20

like you

4:36:23

guys.

4:36:29

My bad.

4:36:41

Oh,

4:36:51

>> I was I was door and it killed me. I was

4:36:54

like right inside the side door.

4:36:57

>> Impossible situation.

4:37:09

indication

4:37:17

series win for the Vegas Falcons.

4:37:24

>> I can't believe it.

4:37:27

My godions

4:37:29

across the board.

4:37:51

Holy

4:37:54

I'll take that.

4:37:57

Down to three for either side. This is

4:37:59

going to be it. Last attempt fly the

4:38:01

points gets his with 3 seconds to go.

4:38:04

You've got to get on the zone. Fresh

4:38:06

mag. Send it. Where is it? Oh my god.

4:38:10

It's a 2v one. Diamond.

4:38:14

Can you do it? Voice from the capture.

4:38:17

It's now a one v one.

4:38:20

What a round of control. Done. you win

4:38:23

this.

4:38:24

God damn. What a round.

4:38:27

We're going to have some laughs during

4:38:28

this match. Maybe I'm going to openly

4:38:30

just ask who will be the worst player we

4:38:32

see in the Allstar game tonight. The

4:38:34

worst player from all of these teams.

4:38:37

Oh, this is hard against the Allars. Oh,

4:38:39

I got to think about this. It's going to

4:38:41

be Octane. Is he going to be Octane?

4:38:43

He's number two overall. SN8. Yes, he

4:38:47

has. But guess what? Oct had one good

4:38:48

event since like 2016. I'll go with

4:38:50

Nameless just because he can probably

4:38:51

hear me right now. He's gonna choke big

4:38:54

time.

4:38:56

There's more than just the game on the

4:38:57

line. It's like, you know, a lot more

4:39:00

bragging rights. I think the the very

4:39:03

first map is the most important map. Uh

4:39:05

if you go down that first map, topic,

4:39:06

chances are you're not going to win a

4:39:08

series. I think they have a over 90% win

4:39:10

rate after they win the first map. So,

4:39:12

it just really comes down to that first

4:39:14

map. I think

4:39:14

>> when you go 200, it's really hard to

4:39:16

come back. And we're really good at

4:39:17

sealing deal and just closing that.

4:39:19

practicing pretty hard and, you know,

4:39:21

watching a lot of films and stuff like

4:39:22

that. So, I'm just fully confident we're

4:39:24

going to walk away with a W

4:39:46

From

4:40:05

Atlanta to Las Vegas, Faze has found a

4:40:08

new home and they are really sparkling

4:40:10

under these bikes. Welcome back in

4:40:12

ladies and gentlemen. And we've got

4:40:13

Rosley alongside attach and nameless

4:40:15

here at the desk. I'm your host Chris

4:40:17

Bucket and we are about to spice things

4:40:20

up after two game fives in the

4:40:22

elimination bracket. We now turn our

4:40:24

attention to the four teams left in the

4:40:26

winners. And this is a fight we've been

4:40:28

waiting for. Falcons versus FaZe was not

4:40:31

on anyone's bingo card. But now with

4:40:33

LA's out of the tournament, where are

4:40:35

Falcons at your power rankings and where

4:40:37

are Faze?

4:40:38

>> Yeah, this match's going to tell us a

4:40:39

lot. But I think days after optic would

4:40:41

be the favorite now. And they've been on

4:40:42

a tear in respawn. And as we look at our

4:40:45

bracket, nobody expected Falcons to be

4:40:47

in this position at a huge opportunity

4:40:50

right now. What can Aluka do? That's the

4:40:52

question in all of our brains. How good

4:40:54

is Aluca? We're all about to find out.

4:40:56

19-year-old German representing his home

4:40:59

country as the only player to do so. He

4:41:01

is basically the hydra of his squad.

4:41:03

Does he play the same role?

4:41:05

>> Uh, no. a little flex player uses AR a

4:41:08

little bit harder than Taco, but this is

4:41:10

a real a test. This will show if the

4:41:12

Falcons are the real deal. I have a cool

4:41:14

story line right now. Aluka is actually

4:41:16

on the phase bench. He was loan to the

4:41:18

Falcons. So, he might be the team that

4:41:20

he's on. We'll talk about that phase

4:41:22

Falcon in a moment because he was

4:41:24

brought in to originally replace one of

4:41:26

these four, but instead they stick

4:41:28

together. Z, Drazza, 04, and Abuzza. If

4:41:32

you're watching last season, 04 and

4:41:33

abuzza, five championship matches, zero

4:41:37

trophies. They finally got it at major

4:41:39

two out.

4:41:40

>> Yeah. And what I'm looking at right now

4:41:41

at this Vegas team right now is how

4:41:43

they're playing on him. Uh he has been

4:41:44

unbelievable at least yesterday dropping

4:41:47

one. Forwards in the response. The only

4:41:49

worry really now is the search and

4:41:52

destroy. Doesn't seem to be in a really

4:41:53

good spot. Only one two over the last

4:41:55

five. But we've seen this happen with

4:41:57

phase where when their respawn gets

4:41:58

better, sometimes your SMD will take a

4:42:00

hit and then drops it'll flip. And I'm

4:42:02

almost in a position where I look at

4:42:03

this, I'm like, I would rather you guys

4:42:04

be dominating the hard point the way

4:42:06

they are right now because it's Vegas.

4:42:08

They're going to steal it.

4:42:10

>> Yeah, we're going to talk about Master

4:42:12

in a moment, but I love the fact that

4:42:14

Ross's video included this champ he is

4:42:16

known for around the world. And on the

4:42:18

other side of this AR battle, you've got

4:42:20

Auza, his teammate who has been locking

4:42:22

things down yesterday.

4:42:25

led everybody in this venue. How

4:42:28

dangerous are the ARs coming in today?

4:42:30

Extremely dangerous. Dr. Light had the

4:42:32

last major. That duo was unbelievable.

4:42:35

And Abuza just has these maps where he

4:42:37

goes double positive with 40 kills, two

4:42:40

minutes of the hill, like just pops

4:42:41

absolute takeover. Extremely dangerous

4:42:43

duo. And with this space team in

4:42:45

general, silently unreal at respawning,

4:42:48

nine and two and a half point in the

4:42:49

last month, 61 in overall. They are a

4:42:52

hard out and they've been working on

4:42:53

their craft. Great point by Ali. If they

4:42:55

figure out SND, it might be a wrap in

4:42:57

this menu. And of course, attaching been

4:42:58

watching them since the start of their

4:43:00

career since joining S and Selium have

4:43:03

found so much success. But tonight, one

4:43:05

of them is going to be sent down to the

4:43:07

elimination bracket. If you were doing

4:43:09

your player X, you could only draft one

4:43:12

of these two. Who is attached drafted

4:43:15

first? We're basically just what we see

4:43:17

off champs. We're only going for stat

4:43:20

numbers. I mean, the whole season I

4:43:21

would go Sim, but yesterday Sim looked

4:43:23

like the best. He's been all year. Maybe

4:43:24

he was saving for the biggest tournament

4:43:26

of the year. He sent a bey home already.

4:43:28

Now he's looking to take down SIP as

4:43:30

well. But two legendary COD players,

4:43:32

longtime teammates. I'm excited to see

4:43:34

who wins this. And we talked to them

4:43:36

this morning, right? And we were, you

4:43:37

know, I guess nobody's really talked

4:43:39

about this, but this is the first time

4:43:40

all year Falcons have had the right

4:43:42

roles, right? Remember, they had three

4:43:44

SMG players who kiz kind of forced into

4:43:46

that AL role when now Luca's playing

4:43:48

peppering people up with damage. Sony

4:43:50

was like, "Dude, I feel great. This is

4:43:51

normal. We get to run flex again." So,

4:43:53

it just works out better for Falcons.

4:43:55

Let's introduce this whole Falcons

4:43:57

lineup because we have questions. What

4:43:59

are you doing dropping the world

4:44:01

champion impress?

4:44:03

>> They had some good ideas moving forward.

4:44:06

Aluka on the starting lineup in game one

4:44:09

made an impact, but it was X did I felt

4:44:11

that was truly the emotional leader of

4:44:13

this squad. The team came in with fire

4:44:15

and they put LAS on the back foot early.

4:44:18

fully high-risk high reward. I feel like

4:44:20

it is what yesterday was for a lot of us

4:44:22

watching Riot Falcons and it they

4:44:24

deliver gives you a 1.3. They do the

4:44:26

respawns out of both the ARs and I'm

4:44:28

going to tell you how 1.3

4:44:31

and again we're talking about against

4:44:34

that when it comes to respond and in

4:44:36

this specific matchup it's not a

4:44:38

headto-head. There's no who's your daddy

4:44:39

list here for Falcons they hang really

4:44:42

well with phase Vegas. I think he's in

4:44:43

the edge that Vegas is better at the map

4:44:45

ones and at closing out in that game

4:44:47

number five. So hopefully Riot's going

4:44:48

to have a hot start here in the open

4:44:51

better than Mercury.

4:45:00

I want to ask you another question

4:45:01

though cuz you know you're on the plane

4:45:02

and one of the pundits you guys have

4:45:04

been watching X did so close in your

4:45:06

eyes like what did you see through him

4:45:08

yesterday cuz I thought he played

4:45:10

phenomenal man deal with all the stress

4:45:12

all the criticism that he had well the

4:45:13

biggest thing for X is the fact that he

4:45:15

was just running around so three I think

4:45:16

he started off what 10 and one into game

4:45:18

one he was just running it down but you

4:45:20

also have to show some love for Luca I

4:45:23

mean we've said it many times what we

4:45:24

can't understate it he is a rookie came

4:45:26

for the First time ever on the big stage

4:45:28

at 510 versus the LA who were that major

4:45:32

three champions top two of major war and

4:45:34

he came out there shut him down

4:45:35

absolutely dominated chat close your

4:45:37

eyes real quick that bottom portion of

4:45:40

the screen and tell me it doesn't look

4:45:41

like Hercules and he just looks like

4:45:44

looks unreal when you do that

4:45:47

foolish

4:45:48

>> why are we all doing it

4:45:49

>> yeah because I'm a genius and now you're

4:45:51

experiencing it in a whole new dimension

4:45:54

this kid is if you're watching literally

4:45:57

the footage, he would get an A+ for his

4:45:59

initial match up. He was playing like a

4:46:01

rockar, not only in the gunfights, but

4:46:03

in the positioning and his teammates.

4:46:06

When you have somebody playing the game

4:46:07

the right way, they can rock.

4:46:10

Absolutely. You go, they look like a

4:46:14

team yesterday. Everyone looks so

4:46:16

comfortable. Kid was playing the role he

4:46:19

should be. He should be the glue guy

4:46:20

running first, baiting for his teammates

4:46:22

and his teammates selling him in a

4:46:24

little bit. They were cleaning up every

4:46:25

single kill. Exit was making plays all

4:46:27

over the map, hopping two and three

4:46:28

pieces. They all look so comfortable and

4:46:30

I love the SV play calls as well.

4:46:31

>> And aside from all that, like I said, we

4:46:33

talked to the Falcons this morning. The

4:46:35

one thing that Cell said was like he's a

4:46:37

shooter and that just makes the game so

4:46:39

much easier for MC. I think that duo

4:46:42

like that's their true strength in the

4:46:43

AR duo and it should be huge in this

4:46:46

matchup. Shout out to our production

4:46:47

team. Not only do you have our three

4:46:49

cameras up here, but we also have audio

4:46:52

throughout the venue. You guys have been

4:46:54

quiet, so we've been bumping up years,

4:46:55

but we didn't need to for a luga. Here's

4:46:58

how he responded after the games.

4:47:01

>> Yo, this is really like this is really

4:47:03

nice. I love it a lot. I really enjoy

4:47:05

it, you know. Of course, we want to

4:47:06

enjoy it more.

4:47:07

>> Y

4:47:08

>> Oh, I I need to look at the camera,

4:47:09

right?

4:47:10

>> You can look at me. You can look at the

4:47:11

camera. You can look at the sky. You can

4:47:12

look wherever you want.

4:47:13

>> This part is really really good. I mean,

4:47:15

I got MC. I got kiss two world champions

4:47:18

already. And I got excellent. I think

4:47:20

I'm like more closer to X-Men than

4:47:22

anyone in the team. Yeah, I appreciate

4:47:24

everyone here. Like I just hear when I

4:47:26

pull a freebies up because I can hear

4:47:27

them going crazy. I appreciate you guys

4:47:30

so much.

4:47:35

And here we are. The new dude on the

4:47:37

lookout for Aluca and X. You can see a

4:47:41

135 from Aluka. X did a 105 with 10.4

4:47:45

damage. They were constantly in the mix.

4:47:47

Yeah. And the funny thing is yesterday

4:47:48

during the interview's like I need more

4:47:50

gas from Xton. Excellence.

4:47:54

Aluka he was fine. If he does at the end

4:47:56

of the day I better hear Xen getting

4:47:58

loud.

4:47:58

>> What's funny about that is I think like

4:47:59

well now I feel like Xen needs to hold

4:48:01

it right and they make a deeper and

4:48:02

deeper run and then maybe like it's in

4:48:04

the finals or something. He finally gets

4:48:06

gas and it takes him to the next level.

4:48:07

He's like it's finally happening. I

4:48:09

don't know. It just makes sense.

4:48:10

>> Title guard horses for the event. G2 has

4:48:14

definitely put their name into the hat

4:48:16

and I think the Falcons did it yesterday

4:48:18

as we take a look. Detroit no longer in

4:48:22

this event to really put up a fight. The

4:48:24

worst finish for Kleenex and start.

4:48:28

>> Yeah, I think Toronto that team might

4:48:30

have ran this course. I don't know

4:48:32

Phoenix on that roster this next season,

4:48:34

but uh a lot of changes that they may

4:48:36

should have made. a lot of talk about

4:48:38

their loss and questionable decisions

4:48:39

and look what happens. They get the

4:48:41

chance and they bomb out the match.

4:48:42

>> It's just a gutwrench like when you lose

4:48:44

a guy like Joe, you know, for them

4:48:46

commiseration got another opportunity at

4:48:48

GWC, but I'm looking at all three of

4:48:50

those teams on the right. They're still

4:48:51

here in this tournament. Yeah. Hasn't

4:48:53

been a great year on land for those

4:48:54

squads, but they're showing up when they

4:48:55

need to here at K James. All right,

4:48:57

let's take a look at some of our

4:48:59

favorites though that are still in the

4:49:00

running. Of course, it's got to start

4:49:01

with the number one seed optic has been

4:49:03

in four of four grand finals and they

4:49:06

finally lift up the trophy after three

4:49:08

failures. They've had all the momentum,

4:49:10

but if you look at their run through the

4:49:11

winners bracket, well, best of fives,

4:49:14

they are flawless.

4:49:15

>> I mean, I feel you look at this and you

4:49:17

I think we all kind of feel the same way

4:49:18

where it's like we heartbreakingly lose

4:49:20

the thieves now in their story, but now

4:49:22

that leaves such a wideopen bracket for

4:49:24

Optic Texas. I mean, they have been

4:49:26

battling against the all season long.

4:49:28

And what they really need to worry about

4:49:30

though is Vegas phase because again we

4:49:33

talked about earlier SND starts getting

4:49:34

on point. Yes, LAS is now out of your

4:49:37

line of sights but we know what phase

4:49:38

Vegas can do on a Sunday obviously world

4:49:40

champ from this team and if you're

4:49:42

offended you haven't even had them I

4:49:44

feel like a lot this season long so we

4:49:46

could get blessed.

4:49:47

>> Yeah. I think the scary part about Faze

4:49:48

right now is the fact that Sim isn't

4:49:50

even playing at the usual Sim level. If

4:49:52

Sim gets to that level, we might see an

4:49:54

optic grand final going to distance

4:49:57

going to game nine. It would be

4:49:58

incredible. But we also can't tell

4:50:01

they've been looking good. They had a

4:50:02

couple weeks to prepare. It's going to

4:50:03

be a banger. Hell yeah.

4:50:05

>> Yeah, it's going to be a good one. And

4:50:06

you know, when you think about pace, it

4:50:07

hasn't been the easiest season for him.

4:50:09

And this is really like watching

4:50:10

individually. We haven't seen a face at

4:50:12

first, I think, ever for this long of a

4:50:15

stretch, but you know, yesterday he's

4:50:16

put together a couple good maps at the

4:50:18

end of that series and going into this

4:50:20

one. I think he needs a bigger one. He

4:50:21

needs to set the tone early. Like, guys,

4:50:23

I'm here. I can beat you guys through

4:50:24

this tournament because the trio's been

4:50:26

playing for Chris Lair in Vegas. There's

4:50:29

something tingling in the air. Base

4:50:31

fans, I smell it. You do, too. Who is

4:50:34

going to win champs this year? Well,

4:50:35

we're in Vegas's home territory, but

4:50:37

there are three other big dogs in the

4:50:39

fight. Let's take a look at our top four

4:50:41

entering this weekend.

4:50:43

>> Every year, all season long, teams fight

4:50:46

for dominance. All majors or winners of

4:50:50

a single repeat who will have what it

4:50:53

takes to hoist the 2026 championship

4:50:56

trophy. I present your four major

4:50:59

winners. A monstrous run for this team.

4:51:02

>> Major one being the highest high. It

4:51:04

kind of just gave us like illusional

4:51:05

confidence that like no matter what we

4:51:06

can win this time between major foreign

4:51:08

champs, we've had way more practice than

4:51:10

we did leading up to the major. We're

4:51:11

able to keep playing with each other,

4:51:12

figure out each other's tendencies, our,

4:51:14

you know, team identity if you will. And

4:51:16

it feels more and more natural as the

4:51:18

days go on. It feels confident.

4:51:22

I just feel like when you win an event

4:51:23

like you're feeling on top of the world,

4:51:25

our team fully believes in ourselves

4:51:26

winning that major two. So I think the

4:51:28

confidence we had, it just showed on the

4:51:30

stage. FW had a lot of confidence for

4:51:32

the pride and hard work we put in. Just

4:51:34

cuz you win chance, I don't think you're

4:51:35

the best. If you can win champs and you

4:51:36

win another tournament, you probably are

4:51:38

the best team. Whoever wins this event

4:51:40

will be the best team in the game.

4:51:44

I would say I like to win one tournament

4:51:45

a year. The feeling when you win any

4:51:47

major, just nothing like it. It's so

4:51:48

hard to put into words. I'm not even

4:51:50

really playing for the trophy or the

4:51:51

money. I'm more just playing for the

4:51:53

feeling of just being better than

4:51:54

everyone.

4:51:56

>> When the dopamine is hitting, you just

4:51:57

feel more confident when you're playing.

4:51:59

You feel like you're unstoppable. I

4:52:00

think if we get into that groove this

4:52:02

weekend, we're going to win the

4:52:02

tournament. When we won major three, I

4:52:04

think at that major, we did really good

4:52:06

just playing with each other, playing

4:52:07

golf each other. These girls have

4:52:08

nothing on me. They know they're not

4:52:10

better than me, and I'm going to win

4:52:11

this thing.

4:52:14

The feeling of winning major 4 was very

4:52:16

unique compared to other ones I've had.

4:52:18

I've never had a scream getting second

4:52:20

that many times and then just always

4:52:21

wondering like dude is just like some

4:52:23

random midyear mid like career just

4:52:25

hardly got overcome but I guess it was

4:52:27

and it just felt so relieving

4:52:30

in all the champions of the world back

4:52:35

to the world champions of Texas. It

4:52:39

would be insane. Obviously, the the 3P

4:52:41

just even staying the sense that a lot

4:52:42

of doesn't even sound real like they get

4:52:44

a chance to do something insane. Champ

4:52:45

is the pinnacle. Everyone knows that.

4:52:46

That's what every COD player dreams of.

4:52:48

It's what we all strive for. So, to do

4:52:50

something that's never been done before

4:52:51

would be insane. We know that it's not

4:52:52

going to be handed to us. It's just a

4:52:54

matter of who plays the best COD. I have

4:52:56

100% belief that we're definitely the

4:52:57

the team to be here, but at the end of

4:52:59

the day, that doesn't mean we're going

4:53:00

to win. So, we just have to show up and

4:53:01

play our game and believe in each other

4:53:03

and for us to play out.

4:53:04

>> There you have it. Four teams that have

4:53:06

proven themselves to most defining

4:53:08

moments of the season. Will we get deja

4:53:11

vu on championship Sunday or will

4:53:13

another team knock down the green wall?

4:53:16

Keep watching to find out.

>> Brought to you by America's Navy and the

4:53:40

special operators who work in the

4:53:42

shadows.

4:53:44

>> Hello, I'm Miles Ross and welcome to

4:53:45

Champs Weekend. We're back with some CDL

4:53:49

crafts table. I am joined by the

4:53:51

terrorists simply

4:53:56

thieves. It's weird to say that in front

4:53:57

of you. First time I've done that. How

4:53:58

we doing, boys? We're well.

4:54:00

>> Very ready. Yeah, absolutely. But this

4:54:03

one's going to be a little different. I

4:54:04

want you to paint your favorite memory

4:54:07

with each other.

4:54:09

>> Nice and wholesomeish right there. While

4:54:11

you guys are painting and you can start

4:54:12

right now, uh, I'll be asking you some

4:54:14

questions. This going to be hard, bro.

4:54:16

How did you meet each other for the

4:54:17

first time?

4:54:18

>> It was during BO3 when we first like

4:54:21

kind of met each other. It was against

4:54:22

each other in like SN tournaments

4:54:24

mainly.

4:54:24

>> Oh, yeah. Definitely sometime during

4:54:25

just playing against each other. I

4:54:27

thought that's when we both found out

4:54:28

like of each other. I was like thinking

4:54:30

like, yo, this kid's insane. Chris, this

4:54:31

is true. It

4:54:32

>> could be true. I mean, know there were

4:54:34

only a couple good SN teams and

4:54:36

obviously those teams kind of had hard

4:54:37

carries and I feel like we are both hard

4:54:40

carries, but I feel like we're both the

4:54:41

sub playmakers of the teams. This is

4:54:42

this is terrible.

4:54:43

>> Good question. Start.

4:54:44

>> No, no, no, no. Bro, my painting is a

4:54:47

god awful.

4:54:49

>> I'm telling you, my painting is insane,

4:54:51

dude. I need I need a fresh start. When

4:54:53

you're old and gray and you're thinking

4:54:54

about competitive gaming, what are you

4:54:57

going to think about the most? Yeah,

4:54:58

it's so weird to think about I guess

4:54:59

winning champs together twice is that I

4:55:02

feel like those two champs were just

4:55:04

inspirational stuff. I mean the video

4:55:07

was saying just because it was my first.

4:55:08

>> What is something that the other

4:55:09

person's surprisingly good at

4:55:11

>> for him? Golf. I'm going I seen the

4:55:13

swing. All right. I seen the swing. He

4:55:15

swings pretty nice.

4:55:16

>> It was like him and R.J. But like

4:55:17

they're just always watching like shows

4:55:19

and movies and I feel like they watch

4:55:20

everything. You guys watch R.J. is kind

4:55:23

of insane with that. I'm a little bit

4:55:24

worse, but we do we do have a lot of

4:55:26

photography. You guys cried during any

4:55:28

movies together?

4:55:29

>> I might have cried still though, but no.

4:55:31

What is this,

4:55:31

>> bro? Mine looks crazy, too, guys. I

4:55:34

think I'm giving up.

4:55:35

>> We're gonna have to burn this after

4:55:36

this. Like, I just I have the picture in

4:55:38

my head, but I'm looking at this and I'm

4:55:39

just thinking that's not the picture.

4:55:41

That's not the picture at all.

4:55:43

>> Yeah, the game plan here was to

4:55:44

absolutely destroy your confidence

4:55:45

going.

4:55:46

>> This looks like a kindergarten druit.

4:55:48

>> Final touches, boys. Final touches. And

4:55:49

>> should I just put my name on?

4:55:50

>> You can sign it. Yeah, sign it however

4:55:52

and wherever you like. Can I

4:55:54

>> Very nice.

4:55:54

>> They both chose blue. It is now time to

4:55:57

show each other your work.

4:56:03

>> Oh wow.

4:56:05

>> Wow.

4:56:05

>> Similar.

4:56:06

>> It's the same memory, right? Is it this,

4:56:09

right?

4:56:09

>> Yeah, same.

4:56:10

>> You guys.

4:56:12

>> Oh, of course.

4:56:14

>> As you guys can tell, this is

4:56:16

>> that's beautiful.

4:56:16

>> As we can see, this is why I chose John

4:56:19

right here.

4:56:19

>> Now, why did you both choose this or

4:56:21

choose the memory? I guess it was just

4:56:23

cuz like it was our first year team

4:56:24

together and it was like both of our

4:56:26

first champs win. So I feel like that

4:56:27

first year was just everything I was

4:56:29

kind of waiting for. So that's that's a

4:56:32

great memory.

4:56:33

>> Great vibes here.

4:56:35

>> That's cool.

4:56:35

>> Anything to make my painting not look

4:56:37

that bad. I tried my best

4:56:40

and hopefully everyone sees that.

4:56:41

>> It was it was a lovely a lovely attempt

4:56:43

guys. It was really really cool. Thank

4:56:44

you so much going on social media

4:56:47

forever.

4:56:49

>> Forever bro.

4:56:53

I am so annoyed. I missed their rookie

4:56:55

season while I worked on Overwatch.

4:56:57

Let's take a look though at what we got

4:56:59

in front of us. It is Faze versus

4:57:01

Falcons. What do you win if you can get

4:57:02

this best of five? Well, you're

4:57:05

guarantee top three. Pretty big deal,

4:57:07

especially if you are a Falcons fan.

4:57:09

Let's jump into our scums and get this

4:57:11

one officially on the docket. Rosalie,

4:57:14

what are you feeling in this fight?

4:57:16

>> I'm glad you said feeling because this

4:57:18

is definitely a vibe pick. I'm going to

4:57:20

go with Riad Falcons. I think they have

4:57:21

a crazy run.

4:57:24

>> Whoa. You lightning strikes twice.

4:57:27

>> I like it. I like it.

4:57:28

>> Faz loses every one. They're fine.

4:57:31

>> I'm loving I'm loving the Falcon story,

4:57:33

but Faze has been looking so good in

4:57:34

Respawn. I'll phase it up again.

4:57:36

>> Yeah, give me FaZe. I just I think S is

4:57:39

going to have a special one. Faze. Do we

4:57:42

have more FaZe fans out there?

4:57:45

>> Oh, yeah. Thank you so much. Or who

4:57:48

wants to cheer on a Luca with me?

4:57:52

with the Falcons. Fans will make it out

4:57:53

of the losers bracket. For now, we get

4:57:55

it locked in on the stage with one roll

4:57:58

only guy. I mean, Chris, I'm ready to

4:58:01

get this one going. Now, everyone in the

4:58:03

chat and everyone in here, you can

4:58:04

decide who the hero and who the villain

4:58:06

will be in this series, but everybody is

4:58:09

ready to lay it all out here on the

4:58:10

stage. It's Champs and it's time to send

4:58:13

our first squad to the top three. Coming

4:58:16

to the stage first from Riad makes some

4:58:19

noise for the Falcons.

4:58:25

X-Men

4:58:27

Kisman Aluca and Selium. The Falcons

4:58:32

have came out here in chance and has

4:58:35

surprised everyone and they are showing

4:58:38

us all that they are here to play. Don't

4:58:42

count out the Falcons everybody. This

4:58:45

might be the first weekend we've seen

4:58:46

every player on Falcons at their PSN has

4:58:50

just getting better and better as the

4:58:52

season goes on. Sium finally now hitting

4:58:54

his peak in the Sing is reactivated and

4:58:57

99 kids is here to help them through

4:58:59

that might be that final piece. We'll

4:59:02

see if he can do it again today. Guy,

4:59:04

let's see if he can get it done. I would

4:59:06

love to see some 99 kids in Vegas, but

4:59:09

let's see if he can reach max forming.

4:59:11

He's going to need to because it's time

4:59:13

to break out the hometown heroes. Get

4:59:17

loud Vegas cuz here comes face

4:59:24

up 04

4:59:28

DA

4:59:29

and s

4:59:32

Vegas in their hometown.

4:59:34

They don't care if you're cheering. They

4:59:37

don't care if you're a boy because

4:59:39

they're going to come out on this stage

4:59:41

and do what they got to do. Fasa, listen

4:59:44

CDL fans, what more could you want? S

4:59:48

for Celium for a spot in the top three.

4:59:51

Selium gun was red hot yesterday. S

4:59:54

looking for an answer in this match. Roy

4:59:56

won his third world championship to join

4:59:59

elite company. Thanks, the hometown team

5:00:02

taking the stage.

5:00:04

is so much on the line right now. And in

5:00:07

Vegas, you guys understand the stakes.

5:00:09

It's high. Everyone's going all in. So,

5:00:13

place your bets, put your picks in the

5:00:15

chat because it's time to go down.

5:00:17

Maven, let's get it. Listen, it's been a

5:00:21

day of game five bangers. Uh, this

5:00:23

series though, Joe, how the last two

5:00:26

going? Uh, yeah, major three was a 3 0

5:00:28

is a fast one. than you know the major

5:00:30

four qualifier where face had a

5:00:31

redemption three gridlocks in a row

5:00:33

where they just absolutely fried them

5:00:35

but a different roster now here for for

5:00:38

the Falcons but just have to think you

5:00:40

win that map one like you did yesterday

5:00:42

the momentum going that way you have a

5:00:44

couple of top teams that came into this

5:00:45

trying to not have a repeat history of

5:00:47

last year um really thinking of phase

5:00:50

thinking of thieves thieves bow out top

5:00:52

eight we get the repeat for phase it was

5:00:54

a top six trying to end that trend and

5:00:57

what is scary you lose Who's this? You

5:01:00

play the team that knocked you out of

5:01:02

the tournament last time in Miami as a

5:01:04

trip tonight. Yeah, it really is. It has

5:01:05

been their kryptonite, but Faze trying

5:01:08

to get locked. I'll tell you one thing.

5:01:09

Jackets are off now, but those things

5:01:10

are key. No, they look like they ride

5:01:12

motorcycles. I don't know what they do,

5:01:13

but I don't know. It's got to be

5:01:16

contract. They're not allowed to do

5:01:17

that. Probably probably not. Probably

5:01:19

not.

5:01:22

We had a little bit of a break, a little

5:01:23

delay coming into this one. I'm not sure

5:01:25

what the history was, but they had a

5:01:26

bunch of active stuff on stage. He's

5:01:28

going to possess PC for a while. Trying

5:01:29

to get something figured out. So

5:01:30

hopefully he's good, ready to go. Just

5:01:32

want to make sure everything's working

5:01:34

fine for him in this matchup. Player to

5:01:37

watch at least on Falcon side. Might be

5:01:39

excellent for me. If you saw Listen, if

5:01:40

you saw the screenshot of the video of

5:01:41

his eyes yesterday, that guy was seeing

5:01:43

the future, bro. Oh yeah, he was in the

5:01:45

future. Yeah, he was destroyed in the

5:01:46

future, dude.

5:01:48

That shot. Holy hell. I've never seen

5:01:51

someone more locked in my life. This guy

5:01:53

plays with passion. No doubt about it.

5:01:55

Yeah, I thought his eyes were going to

5:01:56

pop out of their sockets.

5:01:58

He'll look to get turned. Listen, this

5:02:00

is uh a matchup that has a lot of

5:02:02

shooters. And sometimes it's really just

5:02:03

who comes out and who is hot. That might

5:02:05

be a reason our last two matches have

5:02:07

been a three-0 bash and one for either

5:02:09

side. Who can get off to the hot start?

5:02:11

Who can get things going?

5:02:14

We look to have some magic here. It's

5:02:16

been an insane day two in Vegas

5:02:20

and we're starting things off on SCAR.

5:02:25

What are your thoughts heading into this

5:02:26

map one at least about the spark? I mean

5:02:28

a very strong map here uh for face. Uh

5:02:32

obviously they're map you know you look

5:02:33

at the videos what they want to go to.

5:02:35

They get two starts here. So I think

5:02:36

they are happy about that. But on the

5:02:38

other side for Falcons the way the ARS

5:02:40

were shooting yesterday. Uh I mean

5:02:42

Alucha just what he was able to do Selia

5:02:45

got involved a whole lot more. You just

5:02:48

never know what those do like hey you

5:02:50

want to spot on the big roster next

5:02:51

year. I need a point five out of you

5:02:52

today.

5:02:54

He was demonic yesterday. Excited to

5:02:55

watch more of him. And it's going to be

5:02:57

a tough match up. We see Draza playing

5:03:00

so well. Dropping a 40 bucks. Kick

5:03:02

things off the map one yesterday. Look

5:03:05

to get right back to work on screen.

5:03:08

Seth who's been uh I mean lackluster for

5:03:10

his members over the past, but couple

5:03:13

solid maps yesterday. They look to light

5:03:14

it up. So far

5:03:17

control start a little bit louder. He

5:03:19

had ready start for F. You give up 11

5:03:21

seconds, but you lose control. You flip

5:03:23

the map, you have them spawning in the

5:03:24

top left and Abuza hits Raj just feels

5:03:27

like they get so much better on land.

5:03:29

Their hardwood has been lights out was a

5:03:32

monster yesterday. Plus 30 in the

5:03:35

series. He starts off 4 and0. Well,

5:03:37

three kills in the here for Fix at the

5:03:39

right time. Big rotation towards B2. And

5:03:41

you'll see them trying to do that a lot

5:03:42

on both sides. Usually, if you're

5:03:44

spawning back, that is not where you

5:03:45

want to be really for the last one, but

5:03:48

even then, you get beat from the front.

5:03:50

So try to avoid that traffic to get out

5:03:51

of it beautifully with some big kills.

5:03:54

So tries to get a kick around. We'll see

5:03:58

the time is going to be like for him. We

5:04:00

hop over to hit looking to give you two

5:04:03

but there's the second comes in a little

5:04:04

delay about three straight head start

5:04:07

phase battle back into the point though

5:04:09

right I even had a lot of room with

5:04:11

combo control on 04. Now you're just

5:04:13

right back into it. Still the first P2.

5:04:16

So no trophies. So immediate pressure

5:04:18

here from Falcon. But he was not an

5:04:20

extra 15 double. And he's this guy

5:04:24

locked in. Whoever hit the stun over the

5:04:25

top sets him up to get the second kill.

5:04:27

Beautiful job. Stay out by his life.

5:04:30

Trust your teammate. Trust the tax to

5:04:31

connect and they do. And that all starts

5:04:33

with the L4 route, right? It's not

5:04:35

through the middle of the map. It's not

5:04:36

through deli. He goes all the way

5:04:37

through the P5 in the top blue on that

5:04:40

fight to give the phase the lead. I mean

5:04:42

I think last year you talk about him

5:04:43

being one of the more underrated players

5:04:45

in the league. This year making escape

5:04:47

one of the best play makers in the

5:04:49

league

5:04:50

52 to start tripling positive go

5:04:54

out the gate pressure out the Falcons

5:04:57

after the pick from Aluca trying to get

5:04:59

something behind this do Aluca doing it

5:05:02

all.

5:05:05

That's another break and that's another

5:05:06

situation probably for face for a little

5:05:08

bit better holding looking action early

5:05:11

in the hard points right we saw an we

5:05:13

see it again there but they have been so

5:05:15

good at the brakes firing right back but

5:05:18

it looks like 97 behind that triple you

5:05:21

have to sponsor if you are base all

5:05:23

right listen half from each other

5:05:27

I think over the past seven years from

5:05:29

the CDL we have had a talk about hard

5:05:32

point and why it's does since a million

5:05:35

times. This might be the first time

5:05:36

where there aren't

5:05:38

that done. So just show

5:05:42

one or the other. It's the upside down

5:05:44

for this team. But all right, let's get

5:05:45

to next early will be there for pressure

5:05:48

clock is breaking, but they've been

5:05:50

doing a great job and it's usually been

5:05:51

one thing and it needs some more. A fast

5:05:53

win from Auza though

5:05:56

does this guy have right now. Amuza is

5:05:59

on point of going to fly out. This is

5:06:01

what they need today. find some space

5:06:03

early on. This is where this Zaza duo, I

5:06:06

mean, they've been terrific over the

5:06:07

last several laps. They have been

5:06:08

absolutely lights out. You're getting

5:06:10

that kind of performance from them on

5:06:13

Scar with a lot of long range fights.

5:06:15

Flawless hold so far for face, but there

5:06:18

is pressure through the back. Going to

5:06:19

disrupt a little bit of this time trying

5:06:21

to get in. He's going to try to dig

5:06:23

around now. Prepare for Luca all the way

5:06:25

back. And that'll be three dead. That'll

5:06:27

be Falcon gets in. They get the break a

5:06:29

little bit later this time. They get the

5:06:30

break. Yeah, get the pressure in the

5:06:32

game. You give up the max if you are

5:06:34

phase that allows Falcon just have four

5:06:36

players there with the four versus two.

5:06:38

Now on this rotation things finally

5:06:40

looking to get early in the hill here

5:06:42

for the re falcon the only player that

5:06:44

is out is Raza. He's going to try to get

5:06:46

to his teammates help them out and well

5:06:48

he's getting caught off guard. So now

5:06:50

you are trying to go quickly here if you

5:06:52

are base. That's kind of the

5:06:53

conversation. It's like the Falcons flip

5:06:55

the script and start to get a little

5:06:56

early set up in some of these hard. They

5:06:58

finally do here where they finally hold

5:07:00

these early sets and blow this lead wide

5:07:02

open. Falcons are staying around now.

5:07:04

Down 20 solid holes here at last but for

5:07:07

the playmaker trying to make plays. Two

5:07:09

will go down for Falcons. Boo and Z

5:07:12

looking to push together. They've

5:07:13

already got 10. So 30 healthy seconds

5:07:15

left to earn here. And he's going to

5:07:16

send it right out of the action as he's

5:07:19

finding multis. I thought that was going

5:07:20

to be this triple but there responds

5:07:22

with the double behind the eight and

5:07:24

that is what you want from Tim did

5:07:26

forward step while they're tossing those

5:07:28

eights but again there's a lot of

5:07:30

control here for faith but Val continue

5:07:33

to fight this is what we see so often

5:07:35

here on

5:07:37

first set of rotations about to be done

5:07:40

we'll see what changes really come this

5:07:42

second set it feels to me like J

5:07:45

probably should have a more significant

5:07:46

lead based on how that first set

5:07:50

Now chance to do a little more damage

5:07:51

here as we get into the second P1 that

5:07:54

set up inside. He was shoot

5:07:58

the early trophies going down and last

5:07:59

time the P1 it was an early flick. So is

5:08:02

going to pick this up. He's going to

5:08:03

find Amuza complete map control here for

5:08:06

Falcon. They are catching and draws back

5:08:08

all the way up. He knows the pressure

5:08:10

going to be there but it's ripping lead

5:08:13

the team 164 trying to fight back.

5:08:16

Falcon starting to heat up. I'm just

5:08:17

going to say a tie game in this half,

5:08:19

but yeah, this has been incredible. P1

5:08:23

trophies in the second set obviously

5:08:24

going to make it easier and they are

5:08:26

doing damage quickly. So, we're going to

5:08:28

fall pressure to sell out now in the

5:08:30

point. We're going to pass with too many

5:08:31

people in front of them to deal with.

5:08:33

So, he's going to end with about 15 to

5:08:35

20 remaining at half position now for

5:08:37

P2. Everyone from Falcon pretty much

5:08:39

coming off the spawn. Team gunfights

5:08:41

going to be in transition all the way so

5:08:43

far. going to be in a good spot as this

5:08:45

pops unless they drop down. Hey, you're

5:08:47

starting to see Carol going back and

5:08:49

forth that Son Hill just making sure

5:08:51

there's no weird split spawns. Hey, they

5:08:53

don't overressed trying to take control,

5:08:55

but now they do. As soon as the hill

5:08:57

pops and it comes down to a one versus

5:08:58

one is just going to play for the toss,

5:09:00

trusting his teammates to deal with the

5:09:02

one player on the hill and they do just

5:09:04

snack. Great teamwork on Falcons. Got an

5:09:06

early break for Falcons. Still looking

5:09:08

for their first lead early in the game

5:09:09

from the opening 11 seconds, but looking

5:09:11

to get back into one here. They got the

5:09:14

setup pressure to fade now having to try

5:09:15

and break. X is POV as he looks to lock

5:09:17

it down with his teammates. Let us for

5:09:20

this game not going to matter. The stun

5:09:21

hits and he is going to get laid out to

5:09:25

have been on point for Faze. That's too

5:09:27

easy. I mean just unreal a team where

5:09:30

you set up the pinch maybe from but he

5:09:32

gets straight up. It is the other three.

5:09:33

The stuns and on point now he's got some

5:09:36

room to work with.

5:09:39

He's sort of looking at the map of multi

5:09:41

comes in phase. They'll go to rotate.

5:09:44

They'll be ahead on rotation. Pushed up

5:09:46

real far. Will be a out selling going to

5:09:49

pop up and lay him out. So

5:09:53

he'll have more pressure from the left

5:09:54

side of the boo keeps it going now. Ha.

5:09:57

Look at 20 and 23. They are leading the

5:10:00

way. Honestly subs right there with

5:10:02

them. Slight there for B. The lead

5:10:04

hasn't built out to what they'd like it

5:10:06

based on how the early hard points went.

5:10:07

Awkward buffer drop as he drops. I mean,

5:10:10

what a plan. How is he still alive? He

5:10:12

is so difficult to take down and it's

5:10:14

what he always on four in a row. He's

5:10:17

able to find that triple and again

5:10:19

another scenario where you're going to

5:10:21

face cash out here and run away with the

5:10:23

game. It's like what he does. Five hard

5:10:26

points now or they may not run away but

5:10:28

at least build a little bit more. They

5:10:30

have not been able to find that at all.

5:10:32

They have no questions right now. Back

5:10:34

within 10 go Falcons 15 remaining on the

5:10:37

hard point the screen for continuing for

5:10:40

now he's on five finally drops another

5:10:42

multi boo he has been the frier

5:10:46

exit into the mix aqua secret there

5:10:48

close range he's going to drop the zip

5:10:50

will be traded out now by Luca it

5:10:52

finally feels like they're going to have

5:10:53

an early setup here number four they're

5:10:56

going to pick up on this position they

5:10:58

may not know he exit he's going to pick

5:11:00

up the back door and he jump down to

5:11:02

this one versus one yeah they thought

5:11:04

they Everything covered but with a split

5:11:07

out towards Motel gives them the opening

5:11:09

they need. He's got a bow on three to

5:11:11

his teammates where it's going to be

5:11:12

coming from. Aluca puts him down though

5:11:14

with the AR at range. Big kills out for

5:11:17

Falcons but just go outside the point.

5:11:19

The sun is going to hit but the help is

5:11:20

going to be there. Z going to spawn in

5:11:22

the back. Get reinforced quickly. Now

5:11:24

right over to Draw the action. It's

5:11:26

Falcons for now. Old Simple Clean it up

5:11:29

at 23 and 21 and they'll look to retain

5:11:31

this final 20 seconds and they're ahead

5:11:33

on the other side of the map as well.

5:11:35

Well, actually he's going to note for

5:11:36

this but Fas are going to be watching

5:11:38

that. I think that's a mistake from X.

5:11:40

He's already white ball so he feels like

5:11:42

he has to commit to the final 20 but

5:11:44

they already watch that cuz they spawn

5:11:46

their teammates out. But it's still a

5:11:48

tie game. This phase going to be set up

5:11:49

through his B5

5:11:53

last time.

5:11:55

This time nobody really close. They're

5:11:57

taking that far all the way out. It's

5:11:59

white ball. Now the pressure on the

5:12:01

truck before he's able to take that.

5:12:03

Look how far you are pushed up plain

5:12:05

time. Saw them just ripping right now. A

5:12:08

massive double and this has been the

5:12:10

best setup they have had. And while

5:12:11

they're finally cashing in just so much

5:12:14

control and then you get the individual

5:12:16

skill shown there from he has been so

5:12:19

good on land all year long. But here

5:12:21

comes Valky jumping the NPC starting.

5:12:23

That's going to be three or four dead

5:12:26

and they still fight. It's just a

5:12:27

question when the break comes. Is it

5:12:28

going to be early? Is it midway through?

5:12:30

Face have not been able to really get a

5:12:31

full hole.

5:12:33

The break has always been there for

5:12:35

Falcons. Clear some seconds remaining.

5:12:37

They can get this right back towards the

5:12:39

tie game or can they come with the

5:12:41

pressure straight up one step? He gets a

5:12:44

double to try and get the time. Sell's

5:12:46

looking for the trade at this point. S

5:12:47

back to full HP. So he's going to reach

5:12:49

out. Cell will deal with it.

5:12:52

layering mid map our face. We've got a

5:12:54

tight one. Yeah, but that three piece

5:12:56

there from S. Not only does it give them

5:12:58

some extra time, it sets them up here

5:12:59

for the P1. When you have wall control,

5:13:02

you're in the hill. Amoose able to find

5:13:04

that a bit of an off saw last time here

5:13:06

from this is their face on the hill. Now

5:13:08

they're going to end up right to try and

5:13:10

get this one. They've been breaking all

5:13:12

that long. Can they break again wants no

5:13:14

part of it? Can't find the angle

5:13:18

way up close to get the snaps out for a

5:13:20

second. They turn it up at 31 and 25. 15

5:13:23

points for them at one L. Their hard

5:13:25

point has been sensational and they

5:13:27

continue to do it here. 04 on the other

5:13:30

side of four. The ones who close this

5:13:33

out. He finally dropped it. They're the

5:13:35

team kill. No one can get near it. Bang.

5:13:37

Hold on. It won't stop the map one. I

5:13:40

lied. Out of here.

5:13:47

And listen. Could it have been clear?

5:13:49

probably on the face side. I think

5:13:51

there's potential for the development of

5:13:53

Yeah, I would not question but when you

5:13:55

watch their teamwork, their

5:13:56

understanding of the game, they tack

5:14:00

they just make the other team's life

5:14:02

living hell. There's always a double

5:14:04

challenge. Someone playing their life to

5:14:05

perfection and the play comes through. I

5:14:08

don't know if sometimes they are playing

5:14:11

gold hardoint. They are they are Yeah, I

5:14:13

know they got broke and it'll happen.

5:14:15

Yes, we want to clean up some of that.

5:14:16

But as far as the teamwork, the timing

5:14:18

of the pushes, the pitches on early

5:14:21

rotations, like they weren't getting

5:14:23

caught in anything. A booa had a monster

5:14:25

map one yesterday to get things started.

5:14:27

Put them 32 here. But really, I mean

5:14:28

that that is an all round team effort.

5:14:30

Everyone there in the damage. Everyone

5:14:32

there in the kills. You get output out

5:14:34

of everyone. These two teams battle one.

5:14:36

Yeah. 2 minutes on the hill on top of

5:14:39

that. The guy just doing it all is hard.

5:14:41

We have been seeing that from him. So

5:14:44

that's we going extensively point time.

5:14:46

That's what you want. I mean world

5:14:49

together

5:14:51

and I think I like seeing that from a

5:14:52

little bit more. We obviously saw the

5:14:55

probably a lot more but pulling out that

5:14:56

extra 15 at times on certain lines. I

5:14:59

think it paid off a couple of times that

5:15:00

we saw from him there. He had a couple

5:15:02

of multi kills that were massive for

5:15:04

him. But just going to the highlights of

5:15:06

his game. I mean Falcons kept it close

5:15:08

and kept finding breaks but it just felt

5:15:10

like Faze were always one step ahead.

5:15:12

Nobody would ever have that conversation

5:15:14

at a hard point. It's just like a matter

5:15:17

of time. But if you're just a step

5:15:19

behind, a step behind the lineup breaks,

5:15:20

the lineup breaks,

5:15:22

it just feels like it's exhausting. It's

5:15:24

something difficult about fights. Yes,

5:15:25

you have players that can win somebody

5:15:27

that was supposed to bring somebody off

5:15:28

a heady and getting to the point they

5:15:30

did multiple times, but it just adds up.

5:15:32

It adds up. I mean, this was an insane

5:15:34

little sequence here on a cell just get

5:15:36

them onto that P3, but it did not matter

5:15:38

in the long run. Maybe one of the more

5:15:40

impressive holes we have seen there at

5:15:42

that B5 throughout the year just with

5:15:44

the map control that they had set

5:15:46

themselves up towards this B1 to close

5:15:48

out the game.

5:15:50

There weren't really questions coming

5:15:51

into this about the hard point for Baz.

5:15:53

The rare times the question has been

5:15:55

about the surged

5:16:04

over

5:16:07

seven years. So yeah, I guess we're

5:16:08

going to laugh. I don't know. But yeah,

5:16:09

and I mean I spoke to them today earlier

5:16:11

just talking about the vetos, what they

5:16:12

were going to do. Um, and you know,

5:16:14

they're a team at times where they can

5:16:16

be a little hard-headed. Uh, obviously

5:16:17

Falcons, they would love to have been

5:16:19

playing frame search destroy and we saw

5:16:21

it yesterday from Faze. So obviously

5:16:23

maybe we're going to get that here again

5:16:24

in math number two, but that is not the

5:16:26

case. Let's just stay away from this.

5:16:28

Let's try and switch it up. Last time I

5:16:29

played, I believe the one just smoked

5:16:31

them alive. Three gridlock. So there's a

5:16:34

chance we get there. That is the map

5:16:35

five. That's why you have hard point

5:16:37

there in the map one. That's why B

5:16:39

simply did that because that gridlock,

5:16:41

you know, comes in during that that one.

5:16:43

That's why there's two gridlock fans. I

5:16:44

mean, if you didn't watch that series, I

5:16:46

looked at Jo. I was like cuz this I

5:16:48

believe started three and four and

5:16:50

Walmart. They looked like the best year.

5:16:52

They were playing really well. They they

5:16:53

got they're three and three. Yeah. Face.

5:16:56

Yeah.

5:16:58

Players get locked and loaded. Change of

5:17:00

pace to get ready for the search and

5:17:02

destroy. see if Falcons can fight back.

5:17:06

As Clay chats through things with the

5:17:08

players, they get ready to go. Fist

5:17:10

bumps out as we prep.

5:17:14

And we've already had some wild searches

5:17:15

this weekend. Some wild results, some

5:17:17

wild moments. It's been insane. Champs

5:17:20

usually is. We'll see what else we have

5:17:21

left in store these final three days.

5:17:23

But still two matches to go today. Some

5:17:25

long ones to kick us off.

5:17:28

Abusa,

5:17:30

what a player he has been for this team.

5:17:31

I mean, you think about like

5:17:35

You talk about sports and stuff like you

5:17:36

hard shoot come to a spot where there

5:17:38

was like a god like was literally a god

5:17:40

and I don't I don't know that anyone

5:17:42

really expected him to necessarily

5:17:43

perform the little cell head for years.

5:17:45

I'm not saying he matched the number of

5:17:46

stuff but he has

5:17:49

he's been terrific. There's no other way

5:17:50

to put it before too like he built one

5:17:53

of the best of all time and they've done

5:17:56

better than I can imagine. There's no

5:17:58

doubt about it. Right. There was just a

5:17:59

lot of question marks. Obviously, that's

5:18:01

phase honestly breaking up, but you just

5:18:03

kind of see just the struggles that you

5:18:04

have seen in search and destroy. And

5:18:06

where does that lead us to Asaki? They

5:18:08

have only played this one time on the

5:18:10

year. Falcons, they were one of the

5:18:12

first teams to play it when this got to

5:18:14

the map. But just looking at the stats

5:18:16

like kind of what's been going wrong for

5:18:18

face, they are 10 for 104 in opening win

5:18:22

percentage, right? This is a team

5:18:23

normally. They've dominated that in the

5:18:25

past. So, can they find those first

5:18:27

bloods? Yeah. I mean, this has been our

5:18:28

least blade search since we came into

5:18:30

the rotation. You I think there's

5:18:33

painful opportunity for improvement for

5:18:35

nerdy spots for opening n into the

5:18:37

action with yellow falcons. A bully ball

5:18:40

right onto the all four to get there

5:18:42

playing around the quick plan. Faze with

5:18:44

a two- two spread. Pressure on that

5:18:46

retake. Four versus four. No trophy. So

5:18:49

in happy to get away with his life post

5:18:51

plan. Yeah, smoke there for Faze just

5:18:54

for the pressure. There you go. You

5:18:56

going to hear that go down. just trying

5:18:58

to have somebody be on that find by that

5:19:00

first blood. S there quickly for the tra

5:19:02

28 on the clock and well

5:19:05

into cell with the double shifts during

5:19:07

the round and there we go. Ext

5:19:15

there with two in the round.

5:19:18

Beautifully done in the post plant.

5:19:21

Always worried somebody's going to get

5:19:23

caught. gates are going to connect and I

5:19:24

I mean for fasier's hoping somebody

5:19:27

connects

5:19:29

without trophies in play but not able to

5:19:31

really soften anybody up not able to

5:19:33

work around the smoke to make anything

5:19:34

too insane

5:19:36

>> as Xnid closes it out solid start now

5:19:40

remember this is when it first came to

5:19:41

the rotation this back when prep was in

5:19:43

the lineup they they looked insane the

5:19:45

start right they they were so far ahead

5:19:46

I think maybe we saw them play Miami I

5:19:48

remember to kick it off they like 60 61

5:19:50

that just dominated we're going back

5:19:51

months obviously

5:19:54

It's CD one they like right away.

5:19:56

>> That is a very deep smoke down there by

5:19:58

Fate trying to find a lot of information

5:20:00

and well they're going to catch out Cell

5:20:01

Amuza on the board but just due to that

5:20:03

rock push they know where Falcons are

5:20:05

coming from. The only player that maybe

5:20:07

they have a question mark on now is

5:20:09

going to be exited in that number eight.

5:20:12

He's doing a good job trading it out

5:20:14

again. Good job trading it out. They'll

5:20:16

retain numbers 2v1 the SMG duo up

5:20:20

against Xn. This is a moment you don't

5:20:22

want to let slip to him cuz he will be

5:20:24

roaring and that could turn everything

5:20:25

around. He is the lightning plug for

5:20:29

this team and well takes a couple of

5:20:30

shots into 44 back down for now. F going

5:20:33

to wrap this out. Work on the plant.

5:20:34

>> That is a big nade if that connects.

5:20:37

Just going to be a little bit short. So

5:20:38

bomb to go down and now you're going to

5:20:40

know a post plant setup if you are Faze.

5:20:42

This is when things get difficult.

5:20:44

>> He wants to go off the tag. Well, good

5:20:46

luck with that heading and good luck

5:20:47

with that one. That is uh we don't see a

5:20:50

ton of plants out there, but there are

5:20:52

some gnarly spots.

5:20:54

>> Well, just the early aggression, the

5:20:56

early info from FaZe. They were so fast

5:20:58

through rocks. They didn't see anything

5:20:59

in the middle of the map outside of

5:21:00

Cell. So, that just says, yo, they're

5:21:01

pushing low. Just be on the lookout.

5:21:04

Like, there's a chance for to make the

5:21:05

play, but he has so much to clear. He

5:21:07

cannot get there in time. Then that

5:21:10

nade, if it's able to connect, maybe

5:21:11

he's able to clutch. And

5:21:12

>> I think that's what's been odd with

5:21:13

them. Like, you talk about the hard

5:21:15

point. They've been so decisive. They

5:21:17

really have. But like in the search,

5:21:18

like at least look back to last event,

5:21:20

it was kind of the opposite of that.

5:21:21

>> Yeah, it just feels at times they're not

5:21:23

together.

5:21:23

>> Like S especially, I thought last event

5:21:25

just wasn't on the same page. Sometimes

5:21:27

just solo channeling and I didn't know

5:21:29

is he calling it going too fast? Are

5:21:30

they what what's breaking down? But if

5:21:32

they can fix that, well, I mean, if they

5:21:35

fix their search, they they very well

5:21:36

win this week. No questions asked

5:21:38

without having to respawn as

5:21:40

a little bit of a different setup this

5:21:43

time through. Not an allowed hit onto B.

5:21:44

quickly to get the fight in but a little

5:21:46

more delay but the result will be the

5:21:48

same with the plant at least Luca able

5:21:51

to trade that out to simp got the first

5:21:52

blood now we back down this three versus

5:21:54

three see if face can retake or falcons

5:21:56

can hold is going to find one but again

5:21:58

both teams trading pretty effectively

5:22:01

and now all down to Alucha one versus

5:22:03

two he has no idea if they are on that

5:22:05

bomb so he's going to have to get back

5:22:07

to it quickly finds the MPC but only 15

5:22:11

in the clip well that number going to go

5:22:13

down he's going yet spotted just no

5:22:15

information. Well, FaZe, they stick to

5:22:17

their guns. They play for that retake

5:22:19

starts with that first blood from S.

5:22:22

>> Yeah, I mean didn't allow them to do

5:22:23

what they did first time. Get the plant

5:22:25

down, get out for free, set up in your

5:22:27

ideal spot, things get a little bit

5:22:28

crazy. I mean, how does it change for a

5:22:30

team when you, I don't know, got all

5:22:32

four of your players versus not post

5:22:33

plant?

5:22:34

>> Well, yeah. I mean, it helps a lot, but

5:22:35

I think the key there is right as Falcon

5:22:37

switch it up. Instead of backing all the

5:22:38

way up, they wanted to get aggressive

5:22:40

out outside of window, right? They were

5:22:41

hoping to catch a timing and repinch

5:22:43

phase through the middle, but actually

5:22:45

just ends up getting caught. So they

5:22:46

take a risk, but that time doesn't work.

5:22:49

>> Yeah, sometimes just loses a man. One

5:22:50

lane not being watched, one opening

5:22:52

being left.

5:22:55

Traded pretty effectively until they

5:22:56

didn't phase back on offense.

5:23:01

And well, the nades will hit 04 with the

5:23:03

opener. He's on four straight.

5:23:07

We don't see a ton of this, but quickly

5:23:09

out over towards Z going to look for the

5:23:12

timing through Smaller. Able to do that.

5:23:14

That's a frustrating one for Faze. You

5:23:15

give him a free pick. Numbers even.

5:23:16

Yeah, I think they they just don't see

5:23:18

him when they're crossing through and

5:23:19

now all of a sudden this is a one versus

5:23:21

two for Sim.

5:23:24

>> Fis though he's got his back find three

5:23:27

in the round.

5:23:28

>> Or did punch this up?

5:23:30

>> Uh-oh. One versus one now. Bring around

5:23:32

the Rosie. Damage is in. Syn is haunting

5:23:35

Kisman tucktail and out

5:23:37

>> and this could be a very long one versus

5:23:39

one. We still have 40 seconds on the

5:23:41

clock but just going to opt for the

5:23:43

play. Trust his gut.

5:23:46

>> Big time moment.

5:23:48

One v one guesses wrong. Gets cut down.

5:23:51

Kisman with the clutch.

5:23:54

>> Well, kids just with a smart play just

5:23:55

to back down on that first engagement.

5:23:58

Some great shots out of S. Just resets

5:24:01

the map. Gives him a chance. Well, then

5:24:04

he's just able to catch him on that

5:24:05

postpl route.

5:24:07

>> S just pulls a knife out. We kind of

5:24:09

heard Looney talking about that. Just

5:24:10

not loving that setting that the players

5:24:12

are running because situations like that

5:24:14

were just not done ready, but it does

5:24:15

not matter. Just Yeah, he had no idea

5:24:17

kids was in that area.

5:24:20

>> Yeah, a little bit different, but just

5:24:21

reminds me of how much you loved Kenny

5:24:22

and all his ying.

5:24:23

>> I mean, I I had the original on my

5:24:25

team for a long time.

5:24:28

Those are my guys. Like please just have

5:24:29

your gun up for the gunfight.

5:24:33

Two two now.

5:24:37

Kid is hot off the clutch.

5:24:40

Looking for an opening. Well, they're

5:24:41

playing kind of for the phase pressure.

5:24:44

Faz is taking a lot of space. Got a ton

5:24:46

of information now.

5:24:49

And 04 backto back rounds able to hit a

5:24:52

nade. Now I'm here's hoping you don't

5:24:54

give away a freebie and keep numbers.

5:24:57

It's just a question of where are 04 and

5:24:58

Z going to go. You saw them drooping up

5:25:01

and this is what we were trying to talk

5:25:02

about that tandem playing together

5:25:04

working off one another. Not solo ching.

5:25:06

They're always now together on the map.

5:25:08

>> Yeah, and it was really a search and

5:25:09

destroy that felt like a little weird. I

5:25:11

know for the playmaker, but sometimes a

5:25:13

little bit of followup can be the

5:25:14

difference. Knife just a little bit

5:25:17

short.

5:25:19

>> FaZe take it. 04 feeling good. Couple of

5:25:23

first bloods in his pocket. right now

5:25:25

he's 3-2 but 4-1 in the first blood

5:25:27

department four phase. So Falcon's going

5:25:29

to look to find a little more success

5:25:30

early on

5:25:32

and I think that first might have been

5:25:33

the first round.

5:25:39

They'll talk through the upcoming

5:25:40

strats.

5:25:43

See how they want to play this defense.

5:25:45

But I mean there's been several rounds

5:25:46

where Faser is getting so much info,

5:25:48

taking so much space, just fearless on

5:25:50

the map.

5:25:52

>> Yeah, last time it was that a hit. This

5:25:53

time maybe they just go to that sort of

5:25:56

default B.

5:25:57

>> And while Sim is just running at him,

5:26:00

Cell's going to back all the way

5:26:01

through, but that opens up the bomb

5:26:02

site. So we're going to have a classic

5:26:04

fouron four ret

5:26:06

back to full bomb plant is through.

5:26:08

Everybody on phase now backing up.

5:26:13

Where's the opening come from? Falcons

5:26:15

sent back to 63.

5:26:17

Tough gunfight against the AR. There's

5:26:19

smoke though making it kind of chaotic.

5:26:21

Drazza is going to get caught trying to

5:26:23

take a route. Freebie now for Aluca.

5:26:26

Aluca finds another. Kisman looking to

5:26:29

close it out. They picked apart this

5:26:31

setup and that is too easy. Falcons

5:26:33

looking great on the replay.

5:26:34

>> Yeah, similar to what Falcon's plan to

5:26:36

be that second time through. They wanted

5:26:38

to try to find some sort of opening in

5:26:40

the defense, right? You're backing all

5:26:42

the way up. Sometimes it just feels

5:26:44

suffocating. So, you want to get

5:26:45

somebody out. that time it was draws but

5:26:48

someone played so patient for him on the

5:26:50

Falcon side gives them that first blood

5:26:52

and then yeah you just know the

5:26:53

positions that phase are going to be in

5:26:56

it feels like early and mid game of the

5:26:57

map one no one really able to find any

5:26:59

kind of significant separation these two

5:27:01

teams are fighting

5:27:05

simp cell

5:27:07

teammates for so long so much success

5:27:10

together both sitting on seven and four

5:27:12

leading the way for their side who would

5:27:14

have

5:27:17

Right into the mix we go. Zip with the

5:27:19

first blood. Trzle with the follow up.

5:27:21

And this is a different Sim too, right?

5:27:23

We kind of talked about 04 being the

5:27:24

opener. That is two rounds in a row

5:27:26

where he is just running down B taking

5:27:28

that first bar fight. Well, backing them

5:27:31

down and that time getting the first

5:27:32

blood.

5:27:32

>> He looked a little different on map one

5:27:33

than he has these past couple weeks.

5:27:35

Honestly,

5:27:36

>> seems like the swagger's there.

5:27:43

>> Hookuca.

5:27:44

trying to turn the tides but not loving

5:27:47

his fight. Kismmet is a a snail.

5:27:52

>> I mean DJ is waiting right just is he

5:27:54

going to check the bomb? Well, this is a

5:27:56

a long play. A very deadly stri

5:28:02

>> keeps them in this round. It's a two

5:28:04

versus three. But the big thing they

5:28:05

have to get this bomb down. When do

5:28:07

phase one want to go? Looks like they

5:28:08

are grouping up. Timing could be on

5:28:10

point for them. And well it will be.

5:28:11

Sims like follow me again. and I will

5:28:14

put them down.

5:28:16

>> Two first bloods, two bombs planted,

5:28:19

double digits on 1,200 damage. Simp

5:28:22

taken over in the map, too.

5:28:25

>> And that was the question coming into

5:28:26

this. That's what Nameless is talking

5:28:28

about, but we all

5:28:28

>> I know he's going nuts in the back. I

5:28:30

know he is.

5:28:31

>> It felt like last event if S just played

5:28:33

to his normal pedigree, they win that

5:28:36

event. Like he just had an awful one.

5:28:37

He's back on his right now. Up

5:28:39

4-3.

5:28:43

Falcon's turn to answer

5:28:48

>> Xen having a slow one at one and five.

5:28:49

See if he can turn it around. Offense

5:28:51

back over to Faze and we'll see what

5:28:52

their opening looks like. But looks like

5:28:53

we're right back to what we did last

5:28:54

round. Yeah, but it's behind the smoke

5:28:56

this time. The smoke's there before

5:28:58

almost gets ripped.

5:28:59

>> Yeah, he's still going though, right?

5:29:00

Cell's not there, but it is going to be

5:29:01

a first blood for Ala on the draws again

5:29:04

on that weak side of the map. So that

5:29:07

play from him just not working out. So

5:29:08

now three versus four. And well, Falcon,

5:29:10

they have the right idea. Yeah, they

5:29:11

know where this push is coming from. You

5:29:12

have back to exit all the way up.

5:29:14

>> 04 though going for the trade and well,

5:29:16

you're into a twoon two.

5:29:17

>> These two are flying together. They're

5:29:19

joined at the hip and well, they may not

5:29:20

win the round. You can see they're

5:29:21

fighting. Success is able to find it.

5:29:23

One versus one now.

5:29:24

>> That snail, he was there.

5:29:25

>> Yeah. Found the snail this time around,

5:29:27

huh?

5:29:28

>> Oh, two versus one. I'm faded.

5:29:33

45 seconds to go. Aluca,

5:29:38

>> what a terrific kickoff to his career at

5:29:41

Champs goes yesterday.

5:29:43

>> More of a typical task here.

5:29:44

>> Yeah, he's just hoping they catch them

5:29:45

on the bomb plant, right? That is when

5:29:47

he is going to be his most advantageous

5:29:50

position to win this clutch. It's just

5:29:52

which bombs are they going towards?

5:29:57

>> Is the timing going to be great? One

5:30:00

turn their head, but he slipped through.

5:30:02

Oh, I thought I I thought maybe he

5:30:04

slipped through. He certainly did not.

5:30:05

The snail hunter Abuzza finding him.

5:30:08

>> And I mean, you could just see how

5:30:09

patient FaZe are, right? And we have

5:30:12

seen that. We even seen that on on a map

5:30:14

like Grave, right? Just not allowing

5:30:16

these players to catch them on the

5:30:17

bottom. Playing very patient, watching

5:30:19

all the routes, not giving up timings.

5:30:22

Phase do just that. But that was a a

5:30:24

huge round, right? Because you are down

5:30:25

in numbers. You have like no map control

5:30:27

if you are phased. But Falcons, they

5:30:29

were so spread. Those two players just

5:30:31

get isolated.

5:30:34

SE04 playing together, finding success.

5:30:37

Combined 18 and eight currently leading

5:30:39

the way

5:30:42

that point. Falcons get the ripoff three

5:30:45

straight. It starts here.

5:30:51

And once again, kind of playing it slow,

5:30:52

playing it passive, hoping to catch

5:30:53

maybe aggression from space and then

5:30:55

>> or just avoid utility.

5:30:57

>> Well, he throws that smoke. Yeah, throws

5:30:59

that smoke. They don't have a trophy.

5:31:00

just kind of baits it and then the nades

5:31:02

come through. But here is another

5:31:04

retake. But it looks like Falcons, they

5:31:05

might want to go quick towards that A

5:31:08

side of the map. I mean, look at how

5:31:09

much they have given up on the bottom

5:31:12

side.

5:31:18

Gets on it

5:31:20

there.

5:31:23

Able to find the kill. Not going to

5:31:24

finish it. Backs off it. A find the

5:31:26

kills. They're clutching up. They're

5:31:28

able to do it. Got scary for a second.

5:31:29

that flank out about 3/4 I think.

5:31:31

>> I think the illucanade ends up helping

5:31:33

Xen, right? Cuz X then probably only has

5:31:34

to hit a B or two. It feels like he

5:31:36

probably has the lineup. That elucanade

5:31:39

from helps him. And I mean, they go for

5:31:41

that. If that doesn't connect, the round

5:31:44

is done. But that buys enough time for

5:31:46

Tism to activate.

5:31:47

>> Yeah, know we hopped off it. I know we

5:31:48

do because you spectators, but I was

5:31:50

like, where are we at?

5:31:52

>> Yeah, I was like 3/4 of the way there.

5:31:54

Yeah, just didn't see that first blood

5:31:56

from that was the key. They stay alive.

5:32:02

>> Look at the clutch up late.

5:32:06

FaZe have been heavy hitting B the

5:32:08

backto back rounds.

5:32:10

>> Well, there's a setup to counter this

5:32:11

this time out of Falcon. So, they do not

5:32:13

want to give up that part of the map.

5:32:15

Don't let Zip just kind of run at this.

5:32:16

But FaZe, they adjusted for that.

5:32:19

>> One hits.

5:32:21

No followup. Draw is going to get back

5:32:23

to full. Pressure now coming out towards

5:32:25

a exit's going to be here. Well, Bis

5:32:27

wants him for a moment. Cell though able

5:32:29

to get a pig big pick. Nice first blood

5:32:32

as he's on nine.

5:32:37

Cell shooting right now. Nearly able to

5:32:39

find a second in the round.

5:32:40

>> And I think that's why you see so many

5:32:42

times on attack they try to take that

5:32:43

spot right the stairs.

5:32:45

>> Just such an important position to pivot

5:32:47

between both bombs. Well, Cell once he

5:32:49

gets to that heady, he is so darn good.

5:32:51

But another two versus four here for

5:32:53

this duo.

5:32:57

Oh, Lucas allowed it to happen. All to

5:32:59

Auza. Too much to deal with. We'll get

5:33:01

dropped. Falcons back to back rounds and

5:33:03

we're going all the way to an 11. And

5:33:05

that is just a chess match, right? The

5:33:07

adjustments on both sides. That time

5:33:09

Falcons play with confidence over

5:33:11

towards B.

5:33:15

>> Now we'll see who's got what side to

5:33:16

kick off this round 11. The game of

5:33:19

chess continues.

5:33:22

Falcons desperately trying to avoid the

5:33:25

O2 hole.

5:33:30

>> Cell clutch in the last one. Kiz with a

5:33:33

massive one-on-one win. Keeping their

5:33:35

dreams alive. Offense for FaZe.

5:33:38

They want to get to B. It looks like

5:33:40

it's going to be fast pressure here for

5:33:41

Cockas as well. Going to be a good old

5:33:42

fashioned meet and greet. Up over the

5:33:43

top goes Zip. Able to back slide. Stay

5:33:45

up. Shots exchanged on both sides. We're

5:33:47

going to stick it. It's so much info

5:33:49

deep from Zip. No, bomb's going to go

5:33:51

down, but Falcons are here. And what a

5:33:52

hero trophy that is. I do not think Door

5:33:56

gets out with his life. The smoke is

5:33:58

down. The pre-fire is there, but here we

5:34:00

go.

5:34:01

>> The retake is on. They are hunting as a

5:34:04

group.

5:34:06

>> FaZe pretty split. And watch that number

5:34:08

three. 04 is trying to find the route on

5:34:10

the other side. It's going to be Kisman.

5:34:14

>> Two versus two now. 20 seconds to go.

5:34:16

Pressure on Falcon. They got to find the

5:34:17

kills. They got to find them soon. 04

5:34:20

still on his route. Sim still hunting.

5:34:22

They've been the hard carry. Both the

5:34:23

double digits 04 popping up before at

5:34:25

least getting one. One versus one.

5:34:27

Simply no time. It is done. Faz ice up

5:34:31

behind the SMG duo. They're up 20.

5:34:39

And well, they just match it over

5:34:41

towards B. Right. Falcons don't commit

5:34:43

to the four that early fight. They kind

5:34:46

of back down. They're hoping their nades

5:34:48

connect, but that's what S and Faze have

5:34:50

done. They just take the early gun

5:34:51

fight, put some shots in, back away, put

5:34:54

the trophies in a position to protect

5:34:55

the bomb carry, and that time instead of

5:34:57

sort of playing for the top side of the

5:34:59

map, they allow 04 to go through rocks

5:35:01

and they give him enough time to

5:35:02

activate.

5:35:03

>> I'll be honest with you, that like Sally

5:35:04

kept doing with the timing of the smoke

5:35:05

is horrifying.

5:35:06

>> Oh, it's horrifying.

5:35:07

>> It's horrifying. The difference of a a

5:35:08

millisecond is he's dead, alive, maybe

5:35:11

gets a kill. really feel you're flipping

5:35:13

a coin half the time, but you get so

5:35:15

much info there as you said, able to

5:35:16

backslide out of that and then 04 and

5:35:19

Sim close the challenge, right? It's the

5:35:21

backslide. He sees two in the window.

5:35:23

>> Yeah. So, it's just like, all right, be

5:35:25

ready for this. They might fly on 04,

5:35:27

but they had his back able to ice up.

5:35:30

>> Holy hell, a tight map one, a tight map

5:35:32

two phase getting by by the skin of

5:35:34

their teeth. It feels like I mean,

5:35:37

you're so close to win here. Falcons can

5:35:39

try to extend this, but you are facing a

5:35:42

very good overload team in FaZe. How do

5:35:44

the Falcons bring this back?

5:35:45

>> Yeah, it's going to be tough. And well,

5:35:46

this is like kind of their do too,

5:35:47

right? FaZe, they kind of avoid Den for

5:35:49

the most part and they choose team A.

5:35:51

So, it's up to them. But again, because

5:35:52

of that gridlock veto, you're going to

5:35:55

get rid of exposure. That's been

5:35:56

Falcon's home all year. So, the choice

5:35:58

is up to you. Well, they're going to go

5:36:00

with this car.

5:36:01

>> All right. Face up 20 in front of the

5:36:03

home crowd looking to close it out and

5:36:05

move into a winners final. Guaranteed

5:36:07

top three just one step away. We'll be

5:36:10

back after the break.

5:36:27

Come on, man. Let's go.

5:39:25

Two. Two of them. Two. Nice. Yo, maybe

5:39:28

pinching mid.

5:39:29

>> Could be out, boys. Could be checkers.

5:39:31

Probably just checkers.

5:39:35

>> Wow, boys. I literally shot manipal

5:39:41

it again on a five. 31 and 21.

5:39:44

>> Good lord. Going to have to break this

5:39:46

one down.

5:39:46

>> Make it six in a row. Hercules.

5:39:50

>> We're flying folks.

5:39:51

>> We're 10 seconds away from a map one

5:39:53

green wall victory. The kills are

5:39:55

flying. The are firing. Shotsy top man.

5:39:58

Can he find

5:40:04

here in Dallas? Come on.

5:40:07

>> Come on.

5:40:09

>> That's fun. That's outrageous fun.

5:40:11

>> What a way to start the major for the

5:40:13

boys.

5:40:15

>> We are back in Vegas and we've got all

5:40:17

sorts of personality across the board.

5:40:20

Block parties here and partying enjoying

5:40:22

the action. It has been a thrilling

5:40:24

event so far and the action continues.

5:40:26

Two tight maps between these two teams,

5:40:29

but map three.

5:40:32

Is it going to be a little too much for

5:40:34

this Falcons team? Where do you think

5:40:37

the toughest if All right, before we

5:40:38

started, what was the toughest test

5:40:39

coming from? The overload.

5:40:41

>> Yeah, I think that or the scarp point.

5:40:44

>> Yeah, but uh yeah, you don't win your

5:40:46

search and destroy pick and yeah, it's

5:40:48

an uphill battle from here. But yeah,

5:40:49

the overload for phase when you kind of

5:40:51

look at the stats throughout stage 4,

5:40:53

our most recent stage, they were number

5:40:55

one in attack, number one on defense,

5:40:57

scar 4 and one. This has been their

5:40:59

home. Yeah, I feel ever since S got on

5:41:02

the phase roster, their game three,

5:41:05

whatever mode we've been playing,

5:41:06

they've usually been very good for

5:41:08

whatever reason, whether it was control,

5:41:10

whether it was overload,

5:41:12

they have been solid, simp looking to

5:41:15

get into another champ Sunday. More work

5:41:18

to do, looking for another top three,

5:41:21

looking to maybe get a third win.

5:41:24

A story for another player, a couple

5:41:26

other players here as well. optic on the

5:41:28

same run and probably going to be who

5:41:30

they run into if they close this out.

5:41:31

But we're not done yet. Falcons try to

5:41:33

bring it back.

5:41:36

And a reminder, this is a winners

5:41:37

bracket match. I know we had some

5:41:38

elimination ones today, but this is the

5:41:40

winner side. So loser will fight on.

5:41:43

We're not done yet, but Joe, those stats

5:41:45

you were talking about. Yeah. When you

5:41:46

see a whole lot of first, typically a

5:41:49

very good sign. Yeah. Very good sign.

5:41:51

It's not only first, but also the way

5:41:52

they're doing that, right? Winning

5:41:54

overloads by a margin of plus three.

5:41:57

A lot of one score games we've had over

5:41:59

the you know last couple of tournaments

5:42:01

that has not been the case for this

5:42:02

phase team. They have been dominant.

5:42:03

>> Yeah. Know we've had a ton of just games

5:42:05

coming down to the wire. Yeah. Not not

5:42:07

for the most maybe early in the year. I

5:42:08

can feel some crazy dins they had. They

5:42:10

were one score games. But map three

5:42:12

Falcons

5:42:14

try so desperately to bring this back

5:42:17

but their toughest test yet. Maybe this

5:42:19

scar overload

5:42:23

phase. That's already going to be three

5:42:25

dead. That's the last one down. It's

5:42:26

going to be immediate pressure. No one

5:42:28

with EMP though due to the fact he lost

5:42:30

a player, but Draza just comes out.

5:42:31

Shoot. Pressure is here. Drazza

5:42:33

continues to go. Have to get four before

5:42:35

he drops. The kills though and up for

5:42:37

Falcons to delay this for a moment. Last

5:42:39

person EMP trying to sneak on through.

5:42:41

Not going to happen on Cell's Watch.

5:42:43

>> Yeah, best case scenario there for

5:42:44

Falcons is both players were just too

5:42:46

far up. So, they opt for the spawn kills

5:42:47

and you deal with the one player inside

5:42:49

of blue. And that was S, right? He gets

5:42:51

gunned right away.

5:42:54

Nice shots there from Cell. So you deal

5:42:56

with that first push from FaZe and great

5:42:58

break off. But yeah, Draws is uh he's

5:43:00

been playing well on this map.

5:43:01

>> No, it was a good trade. Like S gets two

5:43:03

there and you're like back to the

5:43:04

drawing board. You're not getting

5:43:05

forward at all. And now you might be

5:43:06

able to turn this into a score. Gizman

5:43:08

up inside you doing it at range as well,

5:43:11

but EMP is dead.

5:43:14

And that'll be the clearance. Nice

5:43:16

little play from Kismmet, but not enough

5:43:17

to turn that into a score. Look at

5:43:18

number three on the map. A four is in

5:43:20

position. He has been here for a while.

5:43:21

Right. right off of the respawn. He gets

5:43:23

there, but they let Exxon slip on

5:43:25

through 04 with the read. It will be a

5:43:27

for but again EMP just too far away. Sim

5:43:30

has to try to play the spawn kills. Put

5:43:32

some damage in here to get those mid map

5:43:34

spawn so quickly. Will Faze be there

5:43:37

with the reinforcements. Couple of scary

5:43:39

moments for Falcon. So far they've dealt

5:43:41

with it

5:43:42

>> from this side of the map. FaZe looking

5:43:43

to get their damage done between the

5:43:45

two. Kim with a lovely gunfight when

5:43:47

he's shooting fantastic. It looks smooth

5:43:49

for his POV. The timing will be on

5:43:51

point. The pinch is in. The pressure is

5:43:53

forward. Last players going to be 04 and

5:43:55

S to try and deal with this. The heroes

5:43:57

of the search and destroy look to make

5:43:59

the plays on defense. S able to get the

5:44:00

first one. EMP swirling away at half HP.

5:44:04

Still looking for an opening. And well,

5:44:06

both four and are alone. Yeah, N is just

5:44:08

trying to trying to bait this right.

5:44:09

Trying to spread them out. Where am I

5:44:10

going with this thing? But finally, he

5:44:13

does get caught. They just never really

5:44:15

had top screen control. So, just allows

5:44:18

base quickly to peek on over. Well,

5:44:20

defense strong for both of our squads so

5:44:21

far.

5:44:22

>> Yeah, both teams with a couple of uh,

5:44:23

you know, quote unquote chances.

5:44:26

>> Either delivering, but now this is a

5:44:28

real big one of four going to be way

5:44:30

ahead again. Just trying to get EMP

5:44:32

forward. No, XT there for the two-piece

5:44:34

this time to stall it out, but it's not

5:44:36

there. Looking for the opening of four

5:44:37

finding the kills. He's able to get J2.

5:44:39

Actually, I lied to you. X does get a

5:44:41

double again. Just a little bit later,

5:44:43

he clutches up. They hold on.

5:44:45

>> Yeah. Well, I thought I mean Jim was one

5:44:47

of the first up and he was in the middle

5:44:48

of the map. Sim picks that up right

5:44:50

away. And I thought FaZe were going to

5:44:51

fly, but have to deal with Selium up

5:44:54

top. Blue just allows Edston to get

5:44:56

there in time, but immediately Faze

5:45:00

right back to it. Another three dead.

5:45:02

Can you hold on again if you are Celium

5:45:04

in the Falcons? Not going to happen.

5:45:06

They take it to be.

5:45:07

>> Yeah. Not able to spot up in time. They

5:45:09

may get a double for you again. Score

5:45:11

finally through.

5:45:11

>> Maybe a counter.

5:45:12

>> It has been relentless pressure from

5:45:14

Faze so far. Their forward man drops the

5:45:17

other side. And Xnid is still in the

5:45:19

phase spawn.

5:45:22

EMP top side. Xnid finding the angle

5:45:25

able to win the fight. There's a counter

5:45:26

score here. Another double for Xnit.

5:45:29

Six of his eight through doubles. Nobody

5:45:32

home. We're tied up 1. We head to the

5:45:35

bottom side where Faz has got two in

5:45:36

position. Yeah, always have to be

5:45:37

careful. Delaying that over towards a

5:45:39

early in the map. Right. A good nade and

5:45:41

that truck blows up and then EMP would

5:45:43

have been down. But you put it through

5:45:45

now. You try to stop the counter on the

5:45:46

other side. Right. spawns top side. You

5:45:48

spawn out toward towards boats, you

5:45:50

immediately get the counter. But this

5:45:51

sets a phase through Motel, but the NPC

5:45:54

is too good on defense. Cell with three

5:45:57

in a row. Well, actually five in a row.

5:45:58

A three piece almost turns it into four.

5:46:01

And I am so happy that this guy is

5:46:03

running flex again. He just solo stalled

5:46:05

everything. Comes from market gets three

5:46:09

kills. EMP carrier and all falls apart.

5:46:11

Now they try to go the other way. Aluka

5:46:13

leading the way. Aluca getting two.

5:46:16

Trophy out. Score through. Back to back

5:46:19

for Falcons. Up 2-1 with 50 to go on

5:46:21

this side.

5:46:21

>> Well, difference is the efficiency on

5:46:23

the attacks, right? You have had plenty

5:46:24

of opportunities if you are phase only

5:46:27

two really for Falcons. They put both of

5:46:29

them through as starting to find flow.

5:46:32

They're always coming in pairs for the

5:46:34

young men looking to put forward another

5:46:36

pair. Info on several finessing top

5:46:38

green. A wild one that Zip is able to

5:46:40

walk away with. And then S finesses away

5:46:42

for Trza to come in for the help onto

5:46:44

Kismid. 25 to go. It's FaZe trying to

5:46:47

even this up, but it's another multi

5:46:49

from Falcon to break up the phase

5:46:51

pressure.

5:46:53

Oh, now it's just a fight for the last

5:46:54

EMP possession.

5:46:57

Still 10 seconds before that clock gets

5:47:00

down to zero. Cel going to pick up the

5:47:02

long route on draws. And now it's just a

5:47:04

question, is either team really going to

5:47:05

go for this?

5:47:08

You get a scoop. You're able to stay up.

5:47:10

Exit will drop. One last chance here for

5:47:12

Falcons. There's a team kill on the side

5:47:14

of phase. Pistol will finish another

5:47:16

opportunity here.

5:47:19

I lie again. I love Aqua series. A dirty

5:47:23

little life. I mean, it's just middle of

5:47:24

the map. Just nobody really pushed up

5:47:26

and yeah, just the M15s in some good

5:47:28

positions. And while the start was great

5:47:30

for FaZe, you're thinking a score right

5:47:32

away, but again, everybody Well, Cell

5:47:35

gets the one kill onto Amuza. If that

5:47:37

doesn't happen, Amuza is right on the

5:47:38

EMP and they are they go, they are

5:47:41

flying. uh their definition of clutch

5:47:43

either midmap or defensively.

5:47:46

X did the hero multiple times. Cell had

5:47:49

his big play moment and for phase

5:47:51

frustrating. You plenty of chances to

5:47:53

capitalize just not able to do it.

5:47:56

You feel like they had the same kind of

5:47:58

pressure.

5:48:00

Very good chance to win this and close

5:48:01

it out. Can they convert?

5:48:04

>> I mean obviously they were on the

5:48:06

preferred side right there, but still a

5:48:07

map where you can score a lot either

5:48:09

side. put them in that spawn trap in the

5:48:11

top right.

5:48:13

Falcon's looking for a better break off.

5:48:15

So far so good.

5:48:18

Kiz can't get across though. Will be

5:48:20

traded out. Raza finds a double. He's on

5:48:23

17. S on 18 right there with him.

5:48:27

Xen trying to be the guy. Sting out

5:48:29

again. It's another multi where all his

5:48:31

kills come in Paris. Well, I think Abuzi

5:48:33

is just trying to cheat there, right?

5:48:34

You have 04 is already up towards top

5:48:36

three. He's just trying to get EMP over

5:48:38

towards that side of the map. And X just

5:48:40

is going to play his life and back down.

5:48:42

But that is not the case. But Sim

5:48:43

somehow is able to slip through the

5:48:45

cracks. You have a lot of forward

5:48:46

position and now you have to be worried

5:48:48

cuz there is nobody there. Ex is inside

5:48:50

of Delhi. You get the Tom. Abuzza right

5:48:52

to that EMP. The top goal scorer in the

5:48:55

league. Adds another one to the tally.

5:48:57

>> This time one chance, one score. Not the

5:49:00

case in the first half, but flushing it

5:49:01

through. Even to go with still

5:49:04

what feels like an eternity left in this

5:49:06

second half. Cell's been on one. Three

5:49:08

straight right now on 22. Well, not

5:49:10

finding any opening there. Simp gets

5:49:12

two. He is winning so many gun fights. I

5:49:15

think he had what 17 or 18 in that first

5:49:17

half.

5:49:20

>> On the back foot. Go Falcons again. The

5:49:22

spot from Aluca pays off. Dials in a

5:49:26

triple. And I feel like all his multis

5:49:27

have kind of jump from positions like

5:49:28

that. He gets to a corner, plays

5:49:30

patient, and then just pounces at the

5:49:32

right time. And now here is the

5:49:33

opportunity. Can you get into Buzza from

5:49:36

up top? It's going to be a three. Dead

5:49:37

makes it all four. I mean, his triple

5:49:40

after a triple. He's on seven in a row.

5:49:42

Scores. Has the hell score. The young

5:49:44

man is doing it all. Aluka, are you

5:49:47

kidding? Triple defensively, triple

5:49:49

offensively. Getting it through. Streaks

5:49:52

to go.

5:49:55

>> Drazza doing what he can. The other

5:49:56

side. He's able to still alive. He

5:49:58

almost takes down two by himself. Gives

5:50:01

them a chance, but the reinforcement

5:50:03

just not there. But that does forces

5:50:05

right away from Aluca.

5:50:07

>> No, that actually that works for Face. I

5:50:09

know he'd love to get the sword and all

5:50:10

but got the streak out.

5:50:13

>> Aluca has erupted as he's dealing with

5:50:15

the streak as well. They'll trade out

5:50:18

simp. We get back to the mid map fight.

5:50:20

EMP bottom.

5:50:25

And just like the first two maps, no one

5:50:27

able to find any kind of significant

5:50:28

separation in this. Exit trying to be a

5:50:31

playmaker. Oh, XD is shooting right now,

5:50:34

but he will eventually be traded out of

5:50:36

the other side. Oh, four has got pushed

5:50:37

up and one-on-one. This is the queue to

5:50:39

go as completely and utterly out of the

5:50:41

fight. He'll get that kill. It's not

5:50:43

going to matter. You need a god Nate.

5:50:44

It's not going to hit. What just

5:50:45

happened?

5:50:46

>> I mean, just out of the play, right?

5:50:47

Again, 04 just kind of cheats the cut.

5:50:49

He's able to push on through. Finds the

5:50:51

spawn kill, wins that fight, and I mean,

5:50:54

yeah, if you're going to take that long

5:50:55

route, you need your teammates to buy

5:50:57

you time and and they just do not. So

5:51:00

Cell, I think even FaZe was confused

5:51:01

about his position. Wide open for him as

5:51:04

we're all square.

5:51:07

Kissid hammering with the pistol.

5:51:09

Keep an eye on the number four and S.

5:51:11

He's taken around again. Can break this

5:51:13

up behind enemy lines, but good job by

5:51:15

Xton dealing with that. No opening in

5:51:17

the back line.

5:51:19

Aluca damage in with the stuns. I mean

5:51:21

like the map one hitting in the big

5:51:22

moments.

5:51:23

>> Yeah, it's a stun and then it's a double

5:51:24

jump right every single time from this

5:51:26

phase team. as well. Kiz continues to

5:51:28

finesse trying to keep that in their

5:51:30

control but is taken down.

5:51:33

>> Faze deal with the pressure. They'll be

5:51:35

able to fan out the map a bit. Aluca set

5:51:37

up clean side.

5:51:41

>> Well, you have to be careful here.

5:51:42

Everybody is really motel side here for

5:51:44

Falcons. And if they just go up top,

5:51:46

this might be a score. Yeah, they're

5:51:47

just going to go again. You have two

5:51:49

players taking routes and I think

5:51:51

Falcons, they're just going to get

5:51:53

caught out again.

5:51:54

Drazza had to win one one-on-one against

5:51:57

the Luca and it's a score. A misplay for

5:51:59

Falcons has cost them on the last two.

5:52:01

Now in the hole two in the series down

5:52:04

one with a minute to go.

5:52:05

>> Yeah, just two players taking that route

5:52:07

hoping that they can catch them off

5:52:09

guard instead. They get caught with

5:52:10

their pants down and now they are in a

5:52:12

very tough spot. All the pressure over

5:52:14

the foul

5:52:15

>> trying to pull the pants back up and

5:52:16

maybe make the plays late. It was

5:52:18

sensational individual moments from open

5:52:22

>> EMP is still topside.

5:52:24

>> Sid gets three

5:52:26

>> and S man called game pops a triple to

5:52:29

hold. But even that scenario right you

5:52:32

have so much forward pressure. You're

5:52:34

going for spawn kill. Someone has to

5:52:36

find that objective. Somebody help out

5:52:38

his

5:52:40

back to mid map we go. Sip on 32. He has

5:52:44

had a series and he continues to dance.

5:52:48

Nearly fries another offthe-wall jump,

5:52:50

but the fact is the pressure is here.

5:52:51

That's another score. That's the dagger

5:52:54

phase. 10 seconds from a 3 0 and a

5:52:57

guaranteed top three. No repeat of the

5:53:01

top six in the past 2 years. This time

5:53:04

they make it on.

5:53:07

Faze with the big dub. Rio

5:53:14

and well that is just where the

5:53:15

experience of rosters I think comes into

5:53:17

play right you make your roster change

5:53:18

after major for some of these little

5:53:21

things you're just not going to be on

5:53:22

the same page but it is no mistakes on

5:53:24

the side of phase and they read the map

5:53:27

they have a right idea of where they

5:53:29

need to go and well they just they

5:53:31

punish them yeah I mean I'm sure there

5:53:32

were some of those probably for them

5:53:33

even in hardpoint but it's like Harpoint

5:53:34

is way more forgiving right like you you

5:53:36

make a mistake you can get a quick break

5:53:38

maybe after it. I was thinking overload

5:53:40

that's going to lead to a score is game

5:53:41

changing. It is. And you think about the

5:53:43

last two that happened, players out of

5:53:44

position, setups not ideal. And listen,

5:53:48

uh we talked about

5:53:51

two of the best players in the league.

5:53:52

You talk about MVPs with like Scrap and

5:53:54

Sip coming into this. The

5:53:55

disappointments last year, are these

5:53:56

guys going to turn up? And for Scrap, he

5:53:59

disappeared. He did. He had an off

5:54:00

event. S turning up today. He had an

5:54:04

incredible series. double digits in the

5:54:07

surge, 30 plus in the respawns, 34 and

5:54:09

26, and led the lobby in damage there.

5:54:12

>> He's back.

5:54:13

>> He's back. Yeah. And I mean, listen,

5:54:16

Optic are the favorites, but if there's

5:54:18

a team that can take them down, it is

5:54:20

this phase lineup. And that's assuming

5:54:22

the search and destroy improves. The

5:54:23

respawn, there's no question.

5:54:24

>> Yeah. Well, Optic got to get there, too,

5:54:26

right? They match up with the the Paris

5:54:29

gentle mates that have improved. They've

5:54:30

had time since major four. That was a

5:54:32

what a three-0 back at for the top three

5:54:35

spot on a Sunday. So, we're going to

5:54:36

have that match up next. But FaZe, they

5:54:38

take care of business. They win their

5:54:40

map picks. They look great when they're

5:54:42

winning those search and destroys. No, a

5:54:44

phenomenal win. Listen, it was a a very

5:54:46

close win uh every single map. Hotly

5:54:49

contested by Falcons. Outside of a

5:54:51

couple of moments, not it's not like

5:54:52

they played poorly. Just just some

5:54:54

mistakes, maybe communication 100% for

5:54:56

them, but like I don't think this is a

5:54:57

team that's going down without a fight

5:54:58

right now. They look to be playing some

5:54:59

of their best Call of Duty with this uh

5:55:01

>> individually individually they looked

5:55:03

fantastic.

5:55:03

>> So that back toback triple for Luka was

5:55:04

disgusting. I mean that that was absurd.

5:55:06

This kid's got a great career ahead of

5:55:08

them. But another top three, a man

5:55:10

looking for a third champs trophy. It's

5:55:14

S and he's on stage.

5:55:16

>> Vegas makes some noise cuz he's back.

5:55:20

We got S and Faze Vegas going into the

5:55:23

top three. We'll see them in the winners

5:55:26

finals tomorrow. S, how does it feel to

5:55:30

solidify another top three here at

5:55:32

Champs and to really like play like

5:55:34

yourself? I feel like it's been a while

5:55:36

since we've seen you pop off like that.

5:55:38

>> Yeah, I mean, honestly, I feel like the

5:55:39

whole narrow has been a little gassed. I

5:55:40

feel like I won bad champs personally.

5:55:42

Uh, I mean, I've been nasty, honestly,

5:55:44

all year long. Obviously, I had the bad

5:55:46

series against LT last event, but you

5:55:48

know, happens. But, I'm feeling

5:55:50

great this event. Obviously, we three 0

5:55:51

there uh many, you know, tomorrow, which

5:55:54

is great. And I mean I'm personally I'm

5:55:56

feeling fantastic. So I mean

5:55:58

Vegas did he look good to you guys.

5:56:04

>> Now one thing that you know you guys

5:56:07

especially like when it comes down to

5:56:08

the series you know your SNDs you guys

5:56:10

been trying to just polish them up get

5:56:12

them right where they need to be. The

5:56:14

round 11 man. What was going on through

5:56:15

your mind here on that last map to be

5:56:17

able to close that one out so you guys

5:56:18

didn't have to have this even series

5:56:20

where they had some hope?

5:56:21

>> I mean off the rip you know I'm I'm the

5:56:22

math guy so I'm counting up the deaths.

5:56:24

I'm making sure we valance or defense.

5:56:25

That's that takes priority once it goes

5:56:27

round 11 after that. I mean, um, you

5:56:29

know, it's who knows what happens around

5:56:31

11, honestly. I mean, just happens.

5:56:33

>> I mean, you got a great plan. The trophy

5:56:34

came in to save a life and you guys

5:56:36

really hit a great

5:56:37

>> Shout out my trophy players, man. Shout

5:56:38

out my trophy players.

5:56:39

>> Shout out to trophy players indeed, man.

5:56:41

Cuz without them,

5:56:43

>> round out trophies, man.

5:56:46

>> Now, you know, next we're about to

5:56:48

figure out who you guys are going to

5:56:49

play. And I'm pretty sure for you it

5:56:50

doesn't matter who you're going to play

5:56:51

on this stage. I mean, you guys have

5:56:53

been constantly evolving throughout the

5:56:55

season, and this is the one that matters

5:56:56

the most. But, you know, we got all the

5:56:58

fans here in Vegas. Everybody's ready to

5:57:00

cheer you guys on. The Faze fans are

5:57:02

ecstatic to see how you guys been

5:57:04

playing. What do you want to say to them

5:57:05

as you guys get ready for the winners

5:57:07

finals?

5:57:07

>> Hey, everyone here that supports us here

5:57:09

for the event. We appreciate y'all. I

5:57:10

got a good feeling about this event. I

5:57:12

mean, personally, I'm frying and

5:57:14

I think we're going to be back in this

5:57:15

event. So, appreciate

5:57:16

>> you heard it here from the man himself.

5:57:19

He's feeling good. Keep your faith in

5:57:21

them. All right, that's going to do it

5:57:22

for me and Chris on the stage. Other

5:57:24

Chris, take it away.

5:57:26

>> Thank you very much, Guy Blaze. I want

5:57:27

to put like a priest collar on this

5:57:29

dude. He is handing out some sermons

5:57:31

tonight. Let's take a look here at what

5:57:33

FaZe just accomplished because you are

5:57:35

now guaranteed top three at Champs.

5:57:38

You're moving into that winners's

5:57:39

bracket final and you did it with a

5:57:41

clean 3. Here is your scuff play of the

5:57:44

game. Walk me through some of the big

5:57:46

moments here as Drazza crew popped off.

5:57:48

>> I mean, death taxis and phase Vegas on a

5:57:50

Sunday. Yeah, I mean I feel like we all

5:57:51

know how this story goes, but I think

5:57:53

this overload is definitely a statement.

5:57:54

You know, we come in talking about their

5:57:56

respawn and maybe the wolves in search

5:57:57

and destroy, but I mean like Seth said,

5:57:59

he feels fantastic and we saw it when it

5:58:02

came to this scar. And

5:58:04

>> yeah, I mean we've never heard Simply

5:58:06

talk like that. Like I'm crying saying

5:58:07

that. You could tell maybe last month

5:58:09

getting to him a little bit. And this is

5:58:11

kind of what we've been hinting at how

5:58:12

good this phase team has secretly been

5:58:14

when he plays like this. It's going to

5:58:16

be three 0's. Like think about what we

5:58:18

saw from this Riad team yesterday. Yes,

5:58:20

they pushed him a little bit in this

5:58:22

series, but in the end when Sim plays

5:58:24

like that, they are untouchable.

5:58:26

Phenomenal even in the clutch.

5:58:27

>> And Sim has something to prove here,

5:58:29

too. He got second team all Allstar. He

5:58:31

should have probably been on the first

5:58:32

one. And at champs last year, their team

5:58:34

did not do well. So, a lot of people

5:58:35

were saying Sim just might not have it

5:58:37

at champ. But the way they're playing

5:58:38

now, he's starting to wake up. This team

5:58:40

has a real case and might potentially

5:58:42

win those rings.

5:58:43

>> All right, we got to talk about Sim's

5:58:44

situation. The man is looking at a third

5:58:47

ring. But more importantly, his former

5:58:50

teammates Aziz out of the tournament.

5:58:52

And you just beat Selium. He is proving

5:58:55

it wasn't just the trio fighting

5:58:56

success. He was a key piece of it.

5:58:58

>> Yeah, 100%. And to enter the year, that

5:59:00

was like the biggest storyline, right?

5:59:01

Like the phase trio had broken up. Who

5:59:04

would rise to the occasion? You know,

5:59:05

Abzy and S, who would get that third

5:59:07

ring? Well, you look at S, he has a

5:59:09

massive opportunity now, and he's full

5:59:11

of confidence. And with the way the the

5:59:13

other three have been playing, they have

5:59:14

a real shot.

5:59:16

>> Ladies and gentlemen, there are only

5:59:17

three teams remaining in our winners

5:59:19

bracket. And on the other side of the

5:59:20

break, I have a man with three rings

5:59:22

joining the desk. Let's take a look at

5:59:24

your bracket and what we have in store

5:59:26

for you because Optic is still in the

5:59:28

fight. Paris Gentle Mates still in the

5:59:32

fight. That is our next best of five.

5:59:34

Dylan, if you missed the regular season,

5:59:36

what should the fans expect from this

5:59:37

one? Well, at the end of the season,

5:59:40

Gentle Mates picked up Joe Dees, who has

5:59:41

arguably been the best player in Black

5:59:44

Ops 7. Generates found early success

5:59:45

with their old roster. Things went south

5:59:47

after that. They have Joe now. They've

5:59:49

had a couple weeks of practice after

5:59:50

their major. They got a top three up to

5:59:52

a couple weeks of practice there. Now

5:59:54

they go up against the best team in the

5:59:55

game. This should be an absolute banger.

5:59:57

>> Final match of the night. It is day two

6:00:00

here of the Call of Duty League

6:00:01

Championship week in 2026 presented by

6:00:04

Player X. lock in cuz there's a Crimix

6:00:06

on the other side of the break.

6:00:23

Nice.

6:00:31

>> Keeping. Keeping

6:00:33

official

6:00:38

controller of the CDL.

6:00:42

>> Player X is the official esports fantasy

6:00:45

partner of the Call of Duty League.

6:00:48

>> Monster Energy, the official energy

6:00:51

drink of the CDL,

6:00:54

>> brought to you by America's Navy and the

6:00:56

special operators who work in the

6:00:58

shadows.

6:01:16

But that's how it go.

6:01:24

I'm going out the rail.

6:01:44

I know that things are going wrong for

6:01:48

me.

6:01:51

You got to listen to my words.

6:01:58

Yeah.

6:02:20

crazy.

6:02:24

Here

6:02:26

we go.

6:02:31

>> Glory isn't given. It is on.

6:02:35

>> Oh,

6:02:37

what did we just see? Easy

6:02:40

>> trying to avoid

6:02:43

another silver medal.

6:02:46

>> This is my time to go.

6:02:48

>> We win. We boost. We win.

6:02:51

>> Back to back champs.

6:02:53

>> Oh my god.

6:02:55

>> Out of nowhere.

6:02:57

>> Unbelievable.

6:03:02

>> It's history in the making.

6:03:06

Oh my god.

6:03:10

>> Oh, the champions of the world.

6:03:12

>> Oh my god.

6:03:15

>> Oh my god. Oh my god.

6:03:24

>> What's up everybody? I'm here with one

6:03:25

of our favorite partners of the Call of

6:03:27

Duty League, America's Navy, as they

6:03:30

have came back yet again at Champs.

6:03:32

Brought a lot of fun games out. They're

6:03:34

playing some hardpoint 2v2s on Colossus.

6:03:37

Now, I got Apollo with me. Now, Apollo,

6:03:40

are you going to be playing on some of

6:03:41

the games in a in a 2v2 hardpoint? Do I

6:03:43

have to play against you to get a prize?

6:03:45

>> Uh, you don't necessarily have to play

6:03:46

me. I brought my team with me. Um, the

6:03:48

Goats and Glory Navy's Esports. They're

6:03:50

all willing and ready to play, and you

6:03:52

can come and win some prizes. We have a

6:03:54

hat that says America's Navy on it. It's

6:03:56

a dad hat. And we also have a nice cool

6:03:58

little um customized pin.

6:03:59

>> Last event, you guys had the pull-up

6:04:01

competition and the push-ups. Is that

6:04:03

bad?

6:04:04

>> It is. So, you can also win the same

6:04:05

exact prizes on the push-up and pull-ups

6:04:07

if you don't feel like you want to play

6:04:09

the two.

6:04:09

>> Okay. If you guys think y'all can knock

6:04:11

out some pull-ups, knock out some

6:04:12

push-ups, or just win some 2v2s with

6:04:15

your duo on some Colossus Hardpoint,

6:04:18

come on through and hang out with our

6:04:20

favorite sailors here at America's Navy.

6:04:32

time, man. Like when you have the

6:04:34

slayers, when you have the talent there,

6:04:35

it's all about putting it together.

6:04:38

>> Three.

6:04:39

>> He's top three.

6:04:39

>> Who are you looking forward to?

6:04:41

>> Oh my god.

6:04:45

>> You're good. You're good.

6:04:46

>> Just run him on the way out,

6:04:48

>> bro. I'm like, yo, he's going for edge.

6:04:50

He has to. No, he's going top three.

6:04:54

>> This is the funnest.

6:04:57

Hey, we won. That's all that matters.

6:04:58

>> Yeah, we won. But like

6:05:02

>> All right. Hey, chat. Watch this.

6:05:05

>> All right, we got to go play the game,

6:05:07

dude. Let's take a look at this bad.

6:05:13

One small one. Wing me blue. Raping me

6:05:15

blue.

6:05:17

>> What? Blue.

6:05:17

>> Yeah. Yeah. Low pass me. I think low

6:05:18

pass me 100% on me. Last me. He's low.

6:05:22

Below me.

6:05:23

>> I'm me. I'm right. But what is

6:05:25

happening, bro?

6:05:26

>> I don't know what the

6:05:28

>> doing.

6:05:28

>> These guys are horrible.

6:05:30

>> I don't know the

6:05:32

>> What is going on?

6:05:34

>> What the is going on? Why are they not

6:05:35

hopping the bomb?

6:05:39

>> These guys don't know how to plant. They

6:05:40

don't know how to hop bomb.

6:05:44

>> That's a streak. Six at us.

6:05:49

>> Don't play with this guy, bro.

6:05:52

investigators hold it.

6:05:55

>> I'm pretty sure if you have to work with

6:05:59

me.

6:06:00

>> Oh my god.

6:06:03

>> Oh my god.

6:06:05

>> He did it again.

6:06:09

>> Oh my god.

6:06:10

>> No way.

6:06:12

>> That's what he wants to do.

6:06:14

>> Okay, bro.

6:06:15

>> That's what he wants to do.

6:06:17

>> Okay, that's how that's how the series

6:06:18

ends. Okay.

6:06:19

>> Oh my god.

6:06:20

>> He just stamped them. He just stamped

6:06:22

them.

6:06:23

>> He just stamped them.

6:06:25

>> Yo, he just stamped them.

6:06:39

>> Second tick is done. Azy is cheesing.

6:06:42

Azy is cheesing. That is filth.

6:06:46

Series isn't over yet. Face now a chance

6:06:49

to smile.

6:06:59

I'm watching mid cut. Just watch.

6:07:01

>> We have the enemy exactly where they

6:07:03

want.

6:07:05

>> Three down.

6:07:05

>> Hostiles have the hard point.

6:07:08

>> System was eliminated.

6:07:09

>> Oh my goodness.

6:07:10

>> Control the hard.

6:07:19

I mean, maybe you can ego chow at times

6:07:21

some teams if you're phased, but you're

6:07:22

not doing it to Sim. There's two that

6:07:24

line up in front and cell maybe making

6:07:26

the play trying to stay alive. Pushes in

6:07:29

and cell goes nuclear.

6:07:42

Holy go. You

6:07:48

>> Oh my god,

6:07:54

>> GG. This is GG, bro. It's not GG. GG.

6:07:58

GG. Not

6:08:12

>> you.

6:08:16

Holy.

6:08:17

Holy. Let's go. Holy.

6:08:19

>> I just

6:08:24

jinxed them.

6:08:33

through bomb. I'm bomb.

6:08:38

Nice. Could be pinched. My bad. Yo, I

6:08:41

have their side. You have their side.

6:08:42

>> I have their side.

6:08:45

Oh my god.

6:08:48

What the are you?

6:08:52

You will never be in a finals ever

6:08:54

again. You bum.

6:09:06

I just want to say um I lived two great

6:09:09

years in the league. I love all of you.

6:09:12

Even the Greenwell fans, you know, love

6:09:14

all of you. We make code so much

6:09:16

special. It's so nice to have it in

6:09:18

Espña.

6:09:24

steals the record for most kills dropped

6:09:27

in a single match. It's 115. It's Gwen

6:09:31

on the collapse. He gets the angle. He

6:09:32

gets the kill. His series continues.

6:09:35

Gwin's here.

6:09:36

>> Yeah, this is his place. Double head

6:09:38

shot. Seven in a row. He is taken over.

6:09:42

Maybe just trying to end the rookie of

6:09:44

the year conversation. just put himself

6:09:47

back in front with just a dominant

6:09:49

performance here. Time to go. TJ going

6:09:52

to drop. One is falling. Second will

6:09:54

drop as well. They collapse. Oh, of

6:09:56

course it's on Gwyn. One player left.

6:09:59

Hudson finds it. Gwyn seals the deal

6:10:02

with a record setting series for Gwyn.

6:10:05

Gwyn is different.

6:10:08

>> Happy birthday

6:10:11

to you.

6:10:13

>> Oh my god. I have big

6:10:17

>> reset. Reset. I'm

6:10:18

>> in front.

6:10:20

>> And we heading one more. I'm actually

6:10:22

watch I'm in I'm in I'm in

6:10:30

one.

6:10:52

Ladies and gentlemen, we are back at the

6:10:54

Mlob Ultra Arena for the 2026 Call of

6:10:58

Duty League Championship weekend. And we

6:11:00

are joined by one of the greats. In

6:11:03

fact, I still call him the GOAT, the

6:11:05

original greatest of all time Call of

6:11:07

Duty League player. We've got Crim 6 in

6:11:10

the building, ladies and gentlemen.

6:11:12

>> Thank you.

6:11:13

What's up, buddy?

6:11:15

>> Three rings, millions of dollars in the

6:11:17

bank account. What are you most proud of

6:11:19

in your career?

6:11:21

>> I don't know. Maybe playing in arenas

6:11:23

like this. This is absolutely insane.

6:11:26

Uh, you know, Call of Duty when I was

6:11:28

doing it, when you know, aunt was doing

6:11:30

it. Dylan, I don't know if you were

6:11:32

around back then. Um,

6:11:34

>> a little bit.

6:11:34

>> No, no, you were still battling.

6:11:36

>> You really were. He was trying to wall.

6:11:38

>> That's when I was young.

6:11:39

>> Point is, it was a hobby, right? We were

6:11:42

playing for Cup of Noodles, right?

6:11:44

>> It's true.

6:11:45

>> And now look at them. So it's absolutely

6:11:48

insane to see how far competitive Call

6:11:50

of Duty has come.

6:11:51

>> Unfortunately, Shotsy was able to tie

6:11:53

your three ring record last year.

6:11:55

Glacers got three rings. And Dashy could

6:11:58

get his third ring with a win this

6:12:00

weekend.

6:12:01

>> Are you nervous about other people

6:12:03

catching up or is it about time?

6:12:04

>> Nah, man. It's about time. It's about

6:12:06

time people caught up. Uh

6:12:09

>> yeah.

6:12:09

>> I don't know. I'm not I'm not salted by

6:12:11

>> No, I'm sure. I mean, I want to ask you,

6:12:12

you know, with both those guys, you team

6:12:14

with both of them.

6:12:15

>> Yeah.

6:12:15

>> Early on, did you see this type of

6:12:17

success for those guys in Call of Duty?

6:12:19

Cuz obviously they were so young and

6:12:21

you're trying to teach them the ways and

6:12:23

it's just seemingly winning backto back

6:12:24

with this opportunity is wild. So, talk

6:12:26

to talk to me about that a little bit.

6:12:27

>> Yeah, I mean I I'll start with Ant. I

6:12:30

think Aunt like the potential I saw in

6:12:33

him was like immediate. I knew that like

6:12:36

he he had that work ethic and he had

6:12:38

that sort of like ability to find the

6:12:41

most efficient way to play. And uh with

6:12:43

Dashy, with Brandon, man, he actually

6:12:46

matured so much since, you know, I was

6:12:49

playing with them way back in the day.

6:12:51

And uh yeah, he's he's even got his own

6:12:53

chant now, which is awesome.

6:12:55

>> Uh you know, but overall, just really

6:12:57

proud of both of them. Yeah. Because if

6:13:00

they can pull this off, if if they can

6:13:02

go back to back to back, that's

6:13:05

something that's like never been done.

6:13:06

Literally, I I wasn't able to do it. So,

6:13:09

one followup to this. So, I know you

6:13:12

watch a little bit here and there, but

6:13:14

about Hercules, this guy came onto the

6:13:16

scene. People are calling the lean out.

6:13:19

>> What have you seen in his game for a guy

6:13:21

so young to literally be dominating this

6:13:24

early in his career? Well, I've only

6:13:26

played him in like throwback tournaments

6:13:28

and I don't really see them. I just die.

6:13:31

So, so I don't really know. That's

6:13:34

unbelievable.

6:13:34

>> Yeah, that's a good question. I I don't

6:13:36

know the answer to that.

6:13:37

>> Current production is hot on their feet.

6:13:39

We just told them that you were

6:13:40

available for this interview and they

6:13:42

were able to gather some footage. Let's

6:13:44

take a look back. I watched you gain

6:13:46

your first ring with Complexity. Which

6:13:48

ring was this

6:13:50

>> and who are you playing with? The final.

6:13:52

>> Oh, that that was Shotsi, Puke, Ender,

6:13:55

Illy.

6:13:56

>> He had 40 steps daily average for a

6:13:58

month.

6:14:00

>> That's a true story. True story. 40

6:14:01

steps.

6:14:02

>> 40 steps a month.

6:14:03

>> Oh yeah.

6:14:03

>> And one of my duos plays through.

6:14:05

>> His chair must have been stinking.

6:14:06

>> No. When when Ender told me that his

6:14:08

daily average was 40 steps over a month,

6:14:11

you knew I was like, we won.

6:14:12

>> Yeah, guys. We won.

6:14:14

>> As we revisit Shotsy Crimix's win

6:14:17

together, we'll remember I in the best

6:14:19

ways possible. competed 2008 to 2022,

6:14:23

winningest player in history, 38 major

6:14:26

championship wins and three world

6:14:28

championship rings. You did a ridiculous

6:14:31

job performing from the start of your

6:14:32

career to the end. Crim though, I got to

6:14:35

hear from you. What is the official

6:14:37

definition of a ship or winning one of

6:14:41

these on your

6:14:42

>> How many you got here? 38

6:14:44

>> 38

6:14:44

>> and and

6:14:45

>> sheesh, that's a flex, bro.

6:14:47

>> What is What is the definition? invited.

6:14:49

Pro teams got to be there. How many pro

6:14:51

teams?

6:14:52

>> Okay. Well, the one in Australia.

6:14:54

>> Yeah, that the crown invitational.

6:14:56

>> Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on,

6:14:57

hold on. We had to win a tournament in

6:14:59

our region against the best in North

6:15:01

America to get there.

6:15:02

>> Is that true?

6:15:03

>> So, I'm sorry, JCap. I'm sorry that I

6:15:05

smoked you in finals and you didn't get

6:15:06

to go to Melbourne, Australia to play

6:15:09

Call of Duty. Hey, Cap, you suck.

6:15:12

>> Oh, JCap is watching it.

6:15:14

>> I'm beefing again.

6:15:15

>> Can someone please clip that and send it

6:15:17

to me ASAP? I got to put it in the

6:15:18

fantasy football chat attached. We've

6:15:20

got a while here to chirp with Crimix

6:15:22

while the players get ready. This is our

6:15:24

winners bracket. Semi-final matchup.

6:15:26

It'll decide who is going to be playing

6:15:27

phase guaranteed top three. Big matches

6:15:30

on the way. But let's talk history here.

6:15:34

>> Are we in the plumber era now with the

6:15:36

aim assist?

6:15:36

>> Oh man, we have the studio. We are open.

6:15:40

>> We are.

6:15:41

>> Listen, I will say the game since MW19

6:15:43

has been a lot easier to shoot and a lot

6:15:45

easier to move. the game will does do

6:15:47

does it for you. Back then, we didn't

6:15:48

have all the capabilities. But I will

6:15:50

say that top top players who win

6:15:51

championships nowadays and that top

6:15:52

players who won championships back in

6:15:54

the day could go swap generation. They

6:15:56

would still be the top players. But

6:15:58

we've seen some lower tier players who I

6:15:59

don't know.

6:16:00

>> Go shaking his head. No. Go shaking his

6:16:01

head. No.

6:16:02

>> Propaganda, bro. We can't do this.

6:16:04

>> Trim thoughts.

6:16:06

>> We were better back then.

6:16:08

>> I mean,

6:16:08

>> we were better.

6:16:10

>> We were better. See, see, there was

6:16:12

passion back then. Okay. We competed for

6:16:15

literal pennies.

6:16:16

>> We'd win tournaments and win $500

6:16:19

sleeping on a hotel room.

6:16:20

>> Exactly. And we didn't care. Okay. We

6:16:22

didn't care because that's how that's

6:16:24

how passionate we were back in the day.

6:16:26

>> They they faked bathroom breaks just to

6:16:28

get in their opponent's minds back in

6:16:30

the day.

6:16:31

>> I did that. Ask Vance.

6:16:32

>> They had Maven standing behind them

6:16:34

yelling at the opposing team back in the

6:16:36

day. It was a different ball game.

6:16:38

Weird.

6:16:38

>> Now though, you're playing with way more

6:16:39

incentives. You've got millions of

6:16:41

people tuning in from around the world.

6:16:42

You just saw what we did in Paris with

6:16:44

the biggest audience we've ever seen.

6:16:46

>> That was insane.

6:16:47

>> Do you feel like the pressure has gone

6:16:48

up for these players over time?

6:16:50

>> Ooh. Now that I would say yes,

6:16:53

>> that I would agree with 100%.

6:16:55

>> Yeah, we nitpick a lot more. We like

6:16:57

this guy's having a bad map or a bad

6:16:59

series. That might be the end of your

6:17:00

career. If you have a bad couple of

6:17:01

weeks now, it could have slid back then,

6:17:03

but now everyone's watching the flank

6:17:05

after the shows, all the watch parties,

6:17:06

they're calling your name out. You might

6:17:08

get dropped if you a bad couple weeks.

6:17:09

And final question here, Crimix, before

6:17:11

we dive into the match breakdown here is

6:17:14

I want to know from you. It's easiest to

6:17:16

look at numbers. That's the data that we

6:17:18

get out of the matches. It's the cool

6:17:19

thing that we put on all the graphics.

6:17:21

But to you, what defines a good or a

6:17:24

great Call of Duty player? What do you

6:17:26

look for while the matches are going on?

6:17:28

>> Man, that is a deep question, man. Hit

6:17:30

me with it.

6:17:30

>> That is a deep question. Well, I would

6:17:32

say number one, the ability to play with

6:17:34

it with your team and being able to

6:17:37

adapt with your team. Okay. So, like

6:17:39

your opponents are constantly going to

6:17:41

be shifting different play styles here

6:17:43

and there. If you are not adapting on

6:17:45

the team level, right, you're never

6:17:47

going to be a great Call of Duty player.

6:17:49

So,

6:17:50

>> better.

6:17:51

>> Yeah.

6:17:51

>> Got to adapt. And we are going to adapt

6:17:53

our way right into our first video

6:17:55

production. I don't know which team you

6:17:57

want to talk about first, but I assume

6:17:58

it's Optic Texas.

6:18:01

>> Fans are happy about that.

6:18:03

>> Let's take a look. We've got Hercules

6:18:05

looking for his second ring this week.

6:18:07

And Dashy trying to chase down a third.

6:18:10

Hook a third. And Shotsi looking to

6:18:12

become the first player with four World

6:18:15

Championship rings as a competitor.

6:18:18

Yeah. And you know this team, they've

6:18:19

just been unbelievable. As we said, you

6:18:21

know, they're going for back to back to

6:18:22

back. Prim. Does this team remind you of

6:18:24

your team at all a little bit? I asked

6:18:26

Damon this question. He didn't give me

6:18:27

the goods. Team that won the World

6:18:29

Championship.

6:18:30

>> Complexity. The optic team.

6:18:35

Yes, it does.

6:18:37

>> A little bit gas.

6:18:38

>> That is crazy.

6:18:39

>> I don't know. They might be better,

6:18:40

>> boys. They might be better.

6:18:42

>> They're a little bit more wellrounded, I

6:18:44

feel like, in terms of search and

6:18:45

destroy all the other game modes, but

6:18:46

that's what makes them special. And I

6:18:48

think, you know, with Dashy and his

6:18:50

ability to play like this at 27 at this

6:18:52

age, and be kind of the vibes guy as

6:18:54

well on top of it all.

6:18:55

>> 27 and he just won an MVP award at the

6:18:58

last event. So, what do you think is his

6:18:59

peak? How far can you go in this game?

6:19:03

Counter-Strike had players going up to

6:19:05

35 to win a trophy. We've seen people in

6:19:07

Dota go pretty deep, but this is a young

6:19:10

man's game.

6:19:10

>> Yeah.

6:19:12

>> We take a look at the numbers. Gentle

6:19:13

mates on the right, Optic on the left.

6:19:16

In their meetup, it's been 5 to1 in

6:19:18

favor of Optic Texas. The KD seems to be

6:19:21

the difference and overload has been

6:19:23

dominant for the green wall. Yeah, and

6:19:25

Optic has just dominated this matchup

6:19:27

the whole season. Barring that major one

6:19:29

where they met up in the grand finals

6:19:30

and GMates were able to clutch up. Optic

6:19:32

has been lights out ever since verse

6:19:34

them. The one thing though, Gentle Mates

6:19:36

has Joe deceased now. Maybe they have

6:19:38

more time to get comfortable and form

6:19:39

that team chemistry. Let's see if they

6:19:41

can handle Optic right now at COD

6:19:43

>> On the other side, you do have to pair

6:19:45

Gentle Mates. You remember this guy,

6:19:46

Gaga and Broken, they put together a

6:19:49

super team. They've got a watch party

6:19:51

going on and everyone in France made

6:19:53

noise for this squad. When they beat

6:19:56

Cloud9 in the opening round of the

6:19:59

winners bracket, the crowd erupted. They

6:20:01

are on their feet every moment of the

6:20:03

way. And Joe Deceives gave them multiple

6:20:06

reasons to be on their feet for all the

6:20:08

highlights he delivered.

6:20:09

>> Yeah, I mean they just have a spark

6:20:11

since that last event. And I think Dylan

6:20:13

just said it like Joe Deceives, you

6:20:14

could argue that he's been the best

6:20:16

slayer this entire year. And as of late,

6:20:18

Civ's been unbelievable. He's just a

6:20:20

straightup shooter. And their ability to

6:20:22

apply pressure in the respawn modes, I

6:20:23

mean, second to none. And you think

6:20:25

about that run at the last major,

6:20:26

winning all those search and destroy.

6:20:28

It's kind of all coming together. And

6:20:30

now they've had a few weeks. So, this

6:20:32

team is very dangerous. Like you said,

6:20:33

Optics dominated this matchup, but this

6:20:35

is a brand new team. They've had a

6:20:37

couple weeks of practice and now they

6:20:38

got to deal with the green wall.

6:20:39

>> Grim, you got a star started lineup.

6:20:41

Whose game do you like most on the

6:20:43

Gentle Mates right now? Uh well, I still

6:20:45

maintain the fact that uh when I

6:20:47

discovered Joe deceives in a ranked play

6:20:49

game, I thought he was hacking.

6:20:52

He's hacking. I think he is still in

6:20:54

fact that good.

6:20:56

>> I remember it was in the notes on your

6:20:58

phone. You had a whole paragraph of why

6:20:59

Joe Dece is hacking.

6:21:00

>> Yeah. Yeah.

6:21:02

That guy's not that good. He's not that

6:21:04

good.

6:21:04

>> He's not that good. He put up a 1.33

6:21:06

yesterday, but his teammate Civ dropped

6:21:09

to 135. Nameless. Is he your player to

6:21:12

watch or if the gentle mates are going

6:21:14

to pull off another upset in this

6:21:16

winner's bracket? Who do you got eyes

6:21:17

on?

6:21:18

>> I got my eyes on Ghosty in this matchup.

6:21:20

The last couple times he has not played

6:21:22

well. And when you think about, you

6:21:23

know, their last match up, Mercury's

6:21:25

pulling out that MPC, that was the

6:21:26

difference in my opinion. So, I think

6:21:28

Ghosti needs to have a big one here.

6:21:30

Earlier in the season, he was on top of

6:21:32

his game. He needs it at Champs once

6:21:33

again. And then Dylan, I wanted to ask

6:21:35

you, we've seen Optic go to multiple

6:21:38

grand finals, but they've done that

6:21:39

through the winners bracket. Do you

6:21:41

think if they lose tonight, they can

6:21:43

battle through what is turning out to be

6:21:45

a stacked elimination bracket?

6:21:47

>> Oh, absolutely. This Optic Texas team

6:21:49

can face any adversity and come on the

6:21:51

other side and come out on top. But I

6:21:53

don't know if they're going to be

6:21:54

dropping down to losers this early. We

6:21:56

have seen this year, every team that has

6:21:57

lost in the winners finals went on to

6:22:00

win the tournament. So, you don't you do

6:22:01

not want to do the tactical loss yet.

6:22:03

All right, everybody do media a favor.

6:22:05

Look right here in the middle camera.

6:22:07

Big smiles.

6:22:09

Crim six is in the venue. Make some

6:22:10

noise. Vegas.

6:22:15

And of course, we've got your best of

6:22:17

five ready to go in just a minute. We're

6:22:19

waiting on one player to get out of the

6:22:21

back rooms. When he is ready to go, we

6:22:23

will be starting on Scar Hardpoint. What

6:22:25

is your search and destroy? Well, we're

6:22:27

going back to a Black Ops 2 classic for

6:22:29

game five on Raid. You know, Prim and I

6:22:32

love to see that. Dead will be searched

6:22:33

for game two and we've got scar for

6:22:35

overload game three. Do we get to a game

6:22:38

four colossus nameless? Or could this be

6:22:41

a three-0 for either side?

6:22:42

>> I think this goes the distance all the

6:22:44

way to a game five. I think this Paris

6:22:46

team has put in the work and they're

6:22:47

ready to go. The green wall has been

6:22:49

unbelievable. Hey man, we need another

6:22:50

one.

6:22:51

>> It's time to lock in our scuff pickums

6:22:53

and make it official here on the desk.

6:22:55

Nameless as the pickum champion of 2026.

6:22:57

To us the honors who is moving on to

6:23:00

play against FaZe in the winter final. I

6:23:02

mean, Optic, they've just been in every

6:23:04

grand final. Just won. Dashy's

6:23:07

unbelievable. I think they get this one

6:23:09

done, man. In that game five. Let's go

6:23:10

to round 11. Attach.

6:23:15

I think the green wall gets it done

6:23:16

here.

6:23:19

>> Crim six,

6:23:21

optic 3-1.

6:23:23

>> Player to watch.

6:23:25

>> Still Joe deceives.

6:23:27

>> Still Joe deceives on the other side.

6:23:28

>> Make sure he's not hacking, bro. Check

6:23:30

that PC.

6:23:31

I've been riding with Optic. They've

6:23:33

been the number one seed for a reason.

6:23:34

Despite Joda Sees being on the stage,

6:23:36

you got to deal with Shotti. Rosalie,

6:23:39

are you riding with the gentle mates?

6:23:42

>> You know who she's picking.

6:23:45

>> Give me Perry.

6:23:47

>> Perry.

6:23:49

>> The match is ready. We set it to the

6:23:51

stage with Guy Blaze, one of the other

6:23:54

teams.

6:23:54

>> That's how you make it official right

6:23:56

there when it comes down to our desk

6:23:58

picks. But Vegas, I'm curious to see

6:24:00

where your allegiance lies in this

6:24:02

matchup. We got our major one champions

6:24:05

and our major four champions of the year

6:24:07

ready to make it to the top three to go

6:24:09

against FaZe. They're ready to go.

6:24:10

Vegas, are you guys ready to go?

6:24:14

And I know you ready at home, especially

6:24:16

the green suits out there. Get loud cuz

6:24:20

here comes the Paris gentle mates.

6:24:26

Jonas,

6:24:29

Astrio,

6:24:31

Sib,

6:24:32

and Ghosty.

6:24:34

The gentle mates with the green suits

6:24:37

behind them. All the cheers around the

6:24:40

world. They know they can get it done

6:24:43

and they are ready to play. It's Paris.

6:24:47

>> I mean, these guys are coming off of one

6:24:49

of the biggest stadiums in Call of Duty

6:24:51

history, screaming their name. I don't

6:24:53

know if this venue can boo them into a

6:24:56

poor performance anymore. If anything,

6:24:58

the pressure might be more off of this

6:24:59

squad after that insane match yesterday.

6:25:02

They're definitely staring at the cross

6:25:03

of this stage knowing that they're about

6:25:05

to put their best foot forward. Guy, I

6:25:06

hope we're in for a banger.

6:25:08

>> We are in for a banger. From heroes to

6:25:11

villains, we'll see how The Gentle Mates

6:25:14

is going to fare in this matchup. But

6:25:16

the real heroes of this matchup, the

6:25:19

team that's about to make this stadium

6:25:21

erupt. Get ready for the backto back

6:25:24

world champions. Optic Texas,

6:25:32

Hercules,

6:25:34

Hook,

6:25:36

Shotsy,

6:25:38

and Dashy.

6:25:40

Optic Texas are ready to make history

6:25:44

this weekend. But to do that, they got

6:25:48

to take down pairs to make it to the

6:25:50

winners finals. Ladies and gentlemen,

6:25:53

get loud by the Texas. The arena is loud

6:25:58

right now. They are the hometown

6:26:00

favorites. It is not even their hometown

6:26:02

event. Dashy, the potential MVP

6:26:05

candidate. Shotsy Mercury's who this

6:26:07

team is trying to become a dynasty.

6:26:09

potential dynasty in the making. Let's

6:26:10

see if they can keep the run going.

6:26:13

>> Let's see if they can do it. We had so

6:26:15

many MVP candidates on that team and

6:26:19

they're ready to show out on this stage.

6:26:21

Last two times we saw this series, it

6:26:24

was a threeon optic. Is it going to

6:26:25

happen again? Miles Chance, what are

6:26:28

your thoughts? A

6:26:29

>> history repeats itself all the time.

6:26:32

Blaze, we're going to find out if the

6:26:33

same thing could happen here in Vegas.

6:26:37

Starting to get real loud. Starting to

6:26:39

get real green late into the night here

6:26:40

on Friday. Welcome folks to the last

6:26:42

match of the night after Texas Paris

6:26:44

Channel. Should be a delight.

6:26:46

>> It's going to be a fun one. Venue

6:26:48

starting to get electric. The vibes are

6:26:49

flowing. The gas coming out of the desk

6:26:51

is absolutely fantastic. I I love the

6:26:54

look from Crimix of like old generations

6:26:56

better that Joe played him. I thought he

6:26:59

was cheating. New gen has some shooters

6:27:02

and there are many on this stage.

6:27:05

Obviously again a three for optic. last

6:27:07

time they played at the Paris event.

6:27:09

Built a very fresh roster that the

6:27:11

French team built for themselves. Now

6:27:13

they've had an extra few weeks of

6:27:14

practice, a little bit of extra

6:27:16

experience. Think they're going to be

6:27:17

ready for the game, but obviously this

6:27:19

is a lethal lobby. Only thing they're

6:27:21

missing is 20,000 fans behind them, but

6:27:23

at this point in time, you know what

6:27:24

you're capable of. You know what you're

6:27:26

able to do. Can they muster and conjure

6:27:28

up that sort of magic here against a

6:27:30

hostile crowd here in North America,

6:27:33

here in Las Vegas? Well, we see the

6:27:34

Paris enemies on the right hand side of

6:27:36

the screen. They're currently our

6:27:37

back-to- back world champions. Optic

6:27:39

getting ready to do battle. The first

6:27:42

match should be a scar. We've been

6:27:43

treated to a couple of absolutely superb

6:27:45

Scar hard points in the tournament

6:27:47

already and no doubt this one fantastic

6:27:50

as well. Trust player you want to watch

6:27:51

on both team.

6:27:53

>> It is a Ghosty versus Dashy duel in my

6:27:56

mind. You've heard the chirps. It's just

6:27:58

Ghosty in finals. Well, this is to get

6:28:00

into the winners finals. But where

6:28:02

Ghosty has struggled in this matchup,

6:28:04

Dashy has thrived. And obviously the

6:28:07

question of the day, would you rather

6:28:08

have a regular season MVP or an

6:28:11

opportunity to hoist the champs trophy?

6:28:14

These guys are hungry. They're ready to

6:28:16

get it. They are after glory.

6:28:18

>> That is Ghosty on your screen.

6:28:20

Last few moments there some wisdom.

6:28:22

Coach Mayhem on the end as they now get

6:28:26

ready to delve into what has been a

6:28:27

solid map throughout the entirety of

6:28:29

League.

6:28:30

Scar hard point coming up soon as Joe

6:28:33

finishing off there. And this is the man

6:28:34

that terrorized Crim 6 in ranked play.

6:28:37

Joe Deceives.

6:28:39

Outstanding statistical anomaly. And

6:28:42

this was all set yesterday. A three map

6:28:44

series kills 88. Yeah, just electric

6:28:47

stuff there for that three map victory.

6:28:49

But he's good for the long game. He's

6:28:51

good in SND. The 18 is topnotch. I

6:28:53

believe that actually ties Crimson's

6:28:55

record. Maybe three players that have

6:28:57

the 18 overall. So he is amongst

6:29:00

greatness here in Black Ops 7. The kid

6:29:03

from Arkansas made his name in ranked

6:29:05

play has climbed his way up and here he

6:29:08

is on the main stage.

6:29:11

A fun career he has had so far. Every

6:29:13

map, every mode truly lethal in nearly

6:29:15

every single situation. A player you

6:29:16

cannot write out and a player who this

6:29:19

squad has absolutely done their homework

6:29:20

on as well. I have had the distinct

6:29:21

pleasure of having a couple of rank play

6:29:23

games with Joe on a burner and I let me

6:29:24

tell you folks, it is the easiest play

6:29:26

of my entire life. I I barely had to

6:29:28

lift a finger.

6:29:31

All right, partners.

6:29:34

It's time to saddle up.

6:29:36

It's time to see what these teams are

6:29:38

made of.

6:29:40

We go to SCAR map one.

6:29:48

>> Got a whole lot of doubs. Go Artic

6:29:50

Texas. It's the last time they played

6:29:52

Parie.

6:29:57

This town's only big enough for one of

6:29:58

these teams. I mean, winners bracket.

6:30:00

You know what I'm talking about.

6:30:03

Need the 10 count for game start,

6:30:06

gentlemen. Take your paces.

6:30:09

All right, let's do this.

6:30:12

Last map of the day. Let's go.

6:30:18

Always a good sign when your team gets

6:30:20

that first kill. We'll see if Shotsi's

6:30:21

first blood has to hold on right now.

6:30:23

His boys with that mid map presence here

6:30:25

through the Delhi. We're getting

6:30:27

rocking.

6:30:29

Goi finds a big three right off rip.

6:30:32

Gets himself at top. Jazzy though

6:30:34

flipping the spawns. You got the

6:30:36

long-term advantage. SMG making the

6:30:39

long-term play. And well, now the

6:30:41

opening salo commences. Bears going to

6:30:43

be inside the hill. the scar. It is an

6:30:45

AR's playground. It's why guys like Hoot

6:30:48

have it in hand.

6:30:49

>> Wow. H good work there on a ghostly cut

6:30:52

his way through. Thinking about P2 as

6:30:54

well. 14 seconds before that accolades

6:30:56

and H going to run. He's a wanted man

6:30:59

right now. Dead or alive. Looks like

6:31:01

Estral might have lost his scent. You

6:31:04

want the bounty on Hook or if you want

6:31:05

that time Paris off the rim. Am I a

6:31:07

measly nine-point lead they're having

6:31:09

going in towards Noo, but they got the

6:31:10

bench and they got surrounded. They do

6:31:12

not know about the Aaron player up top

6:31:13

though. Dashy well trying to be the

6:31:15

nuisance. The optic players are

6:31:16

swarming. Those MK throwing nothing but

6:31:18

bad shade at one another there and a

6:31:20

couple of big kills at a sib and Joe to

6:31:22

make that B2 look a little softer. A

6:31:23

little swinging out but the Paris makes

6:31:25

big shots there out of Shotsy. Estre

6:31:28

looking for a couple. Finds himself a

6:31:30

fire speed before being brought down.

6:31:32

And this is still your P2.

6:31:33

>> And look at the battle. Ghosty starts

6:31:35

off six and one collecting the time

6:31:37

halfway to a helltorm on the flip side.

6:31:39

Dashy 1 in4 has just got his first kill.

6:31:42

That is 2 and 11 combined for the Optic

6:31:45

Texas AR.

6:31:46

>> 71 out at a ghosti starting this map off

6:31:48

right at 52 and climbing to the nine of

6:31:51

Optic Texas. Well, P3 has their name on

6:31:53

it for now, but we'll see if that

6:31:55

changes. Civ on a five. Ghosty at seven

6:31:58

and one. These boys are shooting from

6:32:00

the hip. Yeah, there's AR's tin off on

6:32:02

him. Shot right now. They're trying to

6:32:03

hold that line. And he's getting back

6:32:05

down from plane head and Jon sees has

6:32:07

the moves to get rid of him. Clean up

6:32:09

the back line. No pinches rolling

6:32:11

through. You have achieved the plane

6:32:12

heady. But you have just lost that first

6:32:14

battle. I think not collecting time.

6:32:16

>> Now they're trying to stick their head

6:32:18

right into that hard point. Dig your

6:32:21

heels in boys. Wait for the next wave.

6:32:23

Here come Paris right over the top. It's

6:32:24

Civo. Estreal joins the feed. H finds

6:32:27

one, but they're out. What a break from

6:32:29

the jungle mates.

6:32:30

>> Fourman white s is snapping in position.

6:32:32

He's going to be the front line man. and

6:32:34

he loves nothing more than a chow. That

6:32:36

is an M15 player running you down and

6:32:39

sending you back to spawn. Trades are

6:32:41

going to be easy. The facilitation on

6:32:43

point. You got ghosty hard blocking over

6:32:45

towards blue. This is a runaway game for

6:32:48

Paris. Gentlemen, they got a 60-point

6:32:50

lead.

6:32:50

>> Big lead. Now Joe looking for number

6:32:52

five. Not going to happen. We don't

6:32:55

believe in miracles here on Scar. The

6:32:57

young Messiah sitting at four and 10.

6:32:58

He's having a struggle. See how Hook can

6:33:01

get things rolling. Lucky number seven

6:33:03

turns to eight and that is going to be

6:33:04

the back squads now. Good for Optic the

6:33:06

hero for the team. Eight and seven for

6:33:08

the moment but making those high impact

6:33:10

kills flipping the nap when you need it

6:33:12

the first time since the opening break

6:33:14

where Optic has had control. We go on

6:33:17

Tah a couple of big ones there. Mer we

6:33:19

said nice four on a three. General have

6:33:23

slowed down here some

6:33:25

superb work to slow the pressure.

6:33:28

Looking for an opening now. journal

6:33:29

makes left lane opened up finally able

6:33:32

to cross that front threshold. Here

6:33:33

comes the next hit. Shotsy from up high

6:33:35

brought down as two for Ghosty and now

6:33:37

we make entry. I mean if you're taking

6:33:38

that sort of approach you need to make

6:33:40

sure you get the break. Parish gentle

6:33:42

mates absolutely deliver and it is

6:33:43

Ghosty the sledgehammer leading that

6:33:45

charge though clean up kills and now the

6:33:48

spawns are going to be flipped the wrong

6:33:49

direction. Optic hold this from the

6:33:50

front. Maybe you can win the rotation to

6:33:53

new but it is a scattered mini map.

6:33:55

Anybody's ball game for the scrap time.

6:33:57

Big split now. Pick where they want to

6:33:58

be on the left hand side. Managed to

6:34:00

clean up the generation players now

6:34:01

inside time to tame them. Name of the

6:34:03

game. Parrots find the way out. Joe

6:34:05

Estreal big kills and they're free men.

6:34:08

Harpic fully set up on the rotation or

6:34:10

maybe not. Two players actually spawn

6:34:11

out. So poorly timed. Maybe a punishing

6:34:14

moment in Joe to see if pierces the

6:34:15

setup. Gets through to catch shots. It

6:34:17

is a hook up top trying to buy his

6:34:19

teammates all the time.

6:34:22

Still in front.

6:34:24

That food bound is still looking real

6:34:26

tasty right now. Chelsea holding back.

6:34:29

Civ now makes his way upstairs

6:34:30

undetected as of now. Wait for there's

6:34:33

the damage and Siv don't miss, don't

6:34:36

lose right now. He's in a lot of

6:34:37

trouble. Just walks off an exploding

6:34:39

Jeep like it's absolutely nothing. The

6:34:41

bulls from Hook there to take him down.

6:34:43

It is a fourman wipe. And the plays that

6:34:45

Hook is making to keep his team afloat

6:34:48

absolutely active. They're about to take

6:34:50

the lead. Got that lead shape.

6:34:53

First set. We're going to look back on

6:34:54

this one real close. Three in right now

6:34:57

in a row for Shi. Three for Dash, two

6:35:00

there for who? Just threes continuing

6:35:01

right now. Final 10 before we end the

6:35:04

first set. Rolling the second. And if

6:35:06

you're fearful of AR players in Texas

6:35:08

with the slow start they had well

6:35:10

bouncing right back. He got Dashy 10 and

6:35:12

12 with a minute and 15 in the hill. So

6:35:15

getting back on his BS and everybody

6:35:17

else is sporting cash they can to make

6:35:19

it near the time. It is a small

6:35:21

advantage with the right sides pawns

6:35:22

coming in for Paris. They got blue

6:35:24

control. They had the hill. Welcome out

6:35:26

of M. Slight lead now for second set

6:35:30

starting to get a little bit dicey.

6:35:32

Couple of toes in and out. All these

6:35:33

kills certainly help. Merk laying down

6:35:35

some hate. No kills. Ji on the pitch.

6:35:39

Still thinking about that P2. Optic

6:35:40

Texas all over the map right now.

6:35:42

Entirely surrounding the jungle mates.

6:35:44

>> So good. I mean he just takes the deep

6:35:45

route to make this happen. So shots he

6:35:47

going to be playing for the long game

6:35:48

and his teammates there to clean house

6:35:50

dashy good for two. You're good for the

6:35:51

time. You have every round watch often

6:35:54

facilitating looking good on the map.

6:35:56

Slightly 15 seconds to go on P1. Let's

6:35:58

go through listening.

6:36:01

Jump down.

6:36:07

Look

6:36:10

on the right. I'm just going to play

6:36:12

corner.

6:36:14

Make a push.

6:36:15

2001.

6:36:25

I'm P1, guys.

6:36:28

Watch out. P1. Another one going up. P1.

6:36:35

He's going to try again.

6:36:36

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Yo, he might

6:37:03

yo Joe's going to be on me while I'm

6:37:04

pretty sure I son him. I saw him.

6:37:08

>> They're going to try

6:37:14

blue. Blue box.

6:37:29

Check it.

6:37:35

Where's he going? Watch out. Watch out.

6:37:37

I'm a bullet.

6:37:38

>> Just stay down here. Stay down here.

6:37:41

Go go go.

6:37:51

You guys pick

6:37:56

it on top. on it on

6:37:59

mid. He's trying still

6:38:07

one

6:38:11

surviving off a scrap time currently,

6:38:13

but there has been a monumental shift

6:38:15

right now going in P4.

6:38:17

>> Well, monstrous two-piece there by Yosi

6:38:19

just to try to get those back spawns,

6:38:21

but you blink and miss it. Optic in the

6:38:23

backline. They spawn right there and

6:38:25

they're going to run them over Estri.

6:38:27

Last man standing. The game of hideand

6:38:29

seek. Shotti twisted. Checking every

6:38:31

corner to hunt him down. He knows he's

6:38:32

here somewhere. Lost track. Here comes

6:38:35

the back play. Catches him out. Finally.

6:38:39

Shotsi looking exceptionally fluid right

6:38:41

now. Goi from the left flank. He seems

6:38:43

about to hit the back door. Boops from

6:38:45

the front. It's a perfect break. Shi

6:38:47

last man and he can't get away with his

6:38:49

life. It's going to be the generates on

6:38:51

time. to the nail on this P4. It has

6:38:53

been a mix in the final 20 seconds. You

6:38:55

spawn. Got to be fearful. Dashy in the

6:38:58

wait and able to drop three more.

6:39:00

They're focused on the rotation. Optic.

6:39:02

They have built themselves a massive

6:39:04

lead going into new. The longer shots he

6:39:06

lives, the better.

6:39:07

>> Oh man, big work. Merk down to pick up a

6:39:10

piece.

6:39:11

>> Goes undetected for now. Siv out of that

6:39:13

top window. That's a big moment. And

6:39:14

that's the blocking of the back spawns.

6:39:16

>> Optic set up on this D5. Everybody for

6:39:18

Paris. They're spawning oh so far away.

6:39:20

They're looking to call map one here.

6:39:22

>> Yeah, they might be going to catch this

6:39:23

player on the way. No, SH is going to be

6:39:24

in for it. Estreal fires over the top

6:39:27

now. It's going to be a 1v2 on new time.

6:39:30

This is a great opportunity for the

6:39:31

parasomics to stay alive, but Optic

6:39:34

still knocking on the door of map one

6:39:35

win. Well, maintaining the back spawns.

6:39:37

They're being a little bit careful cuz

6:39:38

they know as long as you don't lose

6:39:39

that, you're good for the long-term

6:39:41

game.

6:39:41

>> Oh, big bruise through the middle of the

6:39:42

map. One more play to deal with in the

6:39:44

backline. Shoty eyes on Joe making a

6:39:46

meal of it. Big three in the feed. All

6:39:48

down now. They're taking care of this

6:39:50

player on the window, but Jono makes a

6:39:51

surviving.

6:39:52

>> That is a monstrous moment for Jonas

6:39:54

sees able to block the spawns, get the

6:39:56

kills, and set himself up towards that

6:39:58

new time. Great damage being done by

6:40:00

everybody. Impairs gentle mates off the

6:40:02

back of Jonas. Sees kind of make some

6:40:04

magic happen down by 40. Going get into

6:40:07

the new time. Nearly a perfect hold.

6:40:08

Third sets on us. Dangerous time right

6:40:11

now for the gentle mates. Joe hit and

6:40:13

run. Couple more seconds to have here,

6:40:15

but you've got to try to maintain a P1.

6:40:17

Not going to be an easy thing with the

6:40:18

way shoot. Here we go. Third set. Gave

6:40:21

up. First guy watching the cross going

6:40:23

down. Hook in the backline. Hook's

6:40:24

actually late playing for this to make

6:40:26

sure you get those blue spawns and he

6:40:28

cleans house, takes care of business,

6:40:30

and you get the guys off the time. H

6:40:32

continues to make heads up plays.

6:40:34

Holding on. Trophy in play. Dashy yet

6:40:37

again pushing dirty in the kills. Shots

6:40:40

he brought down off the time. So an open

6:40:42

hard point for now. Foot race denied.

6:40:44

Big Bruce. It's an iron wall. No one's

6:40:47

getting past 10 for the win. And hook is

6:40:50

that safety net player. He makes the

6:40:52

lives of his teammates that much easier.

6:40:54

It is a star hard point and it is an

6:40:56

optic 25183 victory.

6:41:10

No new sheriff in this town.

6:41:14

Optic Texas taking map number one.

6:41:16

They're on SCAR.

6:41:25

And the way Optic Texas have been

6:41:26

playing, it is a coach's dream to watch

6:41:29

this mini map. Always so safe. Every

6:41:32

single P1. You're continuing to have

6:41:34

those right side spawns, always hitting

6:41:36

the pinch routes. Take the deep ones

6:41:38

when you need. You got a fantastic

6:41:40

facilitation across the board. Assists

6:41:42

are bonkers. The damage is there and

6:41:44

that is a full fourman effort coming

6:41:47

through from AI. Everybody getting

6:41:48

involved.

6:41:49

>> Still a slight sort of tip further

6:41:51

there. Dashy's massive hard point time

6:41:53

as well. He and Hoop the soers there

6:41:55

assists across the board outstanding.

6:41:57

But again for the journal mates looking

6:41:58

at their stats and I'm seeing nothing

6:41:59

but good things as well. I mean a little

6:42:01

bit of a difficult time for them in the

6:42:02

KD department but assistance damage

6:42:05

everything was there. What went wrong

6:42:06

for Paris? Just a little bit behind.

6:42:08

They built themselves a massive lead. P1

6:42:10

and P2 or especially this P2 off the rip

6:42:13

felt fantastic. Ghosti with the 10 and2

6:42:16

start make it 10 and three well began to

6:42:19

falter. Civ also had a bit of a hot

6:42:21

start falters. Joe Dece ends up being

6:42:23

the guy for the team that runs away in

6:42:25

the kills department. We're looking at

6:42:27

the scoreboard 80 to 50 there from

6:42:29

Optic. Well, once they get going that

6:42:31

train never stops. Yeah, it's really

6:42:33

hard to run that momentum away but

6:42:34

gentle makes strong start there in the

6:42:36

finish. We'll see how the search and

6:42:37

destroy goes momentarily. But yeah, the

6:42:39

last time these two teams met on land

6:42:40

way back in Paris at Laton Arena, it was

6:42:42

a 3 nothing for Optic. We'll see if it

6:42:46

changes here. A map win essential for

6:42:48

the longevity of the series. Dash just

6:42:50

has one of those special point of views.

6:42:52

Any AR player that's ever tried to play

6:42:54

COD, they watch him and just go, "Wow,

6:42:56

I'm just not that good. Can't do that.

6:42:58

Can't replicate it. He is in fact built

6:43:00

different." Last ditch effort in these

6:43:03

moments coming through from the pairs.

6:43:04

They were actually making ridiculously

6:43:06

good plays. They were finding the high

6:43:08

impact optic were just simply better.

6:43:11

>> You have such a superb lead. I mean, at

6:43:12

this point in time, it's nearly

6:43:13

impossible. A 250 249 to the LDS a

6:43:17

little bit earlier, but that is as good

6:43:18

as we've seen.

6:43:21

A near one in a million scenario, but

6:43:22

that no need

6:43:25

making their way back up to stage. CarP

6:43:28

getting ready for that search and

6:43:29

destroyer will be going momentarily. And

6:43:31

you know, a very small thing, but I'm a

6:43:33

massive fan of Hoop's gameplay. When you

6:43:35

have that final rotation over towards

6:43:37

P1, he's tucked in a corner all the way.

6:43:39

Bottom blue, bottom P4, allowing his

6:43:42

teammates to be the first ones to f so

6:43:44

he can be the cleanup crew and get into

6:43:46

spawn right back up. He is a safety net

6:43:49

player, an enabler for the team. But

6:43:52

there you go, that 50point lead. Paris

6:43:54

built early. Absolutely nothing towards

6:43:57

the end. They just got ran.

6:44:01

Smooth sailing out of Scar and into

6:44:03

dead. We say goodbye to Alaska and load

6:44:05

of Japan this series. We'll go back to

6:44:07

Scar for the overload. It should be a

6:44:08

lot of fun for our hump map right smack

6:44:10

bang in the middle there. But chance,

6:44:11

how is the search and destroyer going

6:44:13

for both squads again? Very capable

6:44:15

teams,

6:44:16

>> but as far as we're concerned right now,

6:44:17

I mean, it's still optic series to win.

6:44:19

>> Yes, they better team. They got the

6:44:21

three kills. They have been super

6:44:23

efficient from start to finish every

6:44:25

single game mode. you know, they're

6:44:27

cooking up the goods when it comes to

6:44:28

search and destroy for champs,

6:44:30

especially for a matchup like this. You

6:44:33

expect to play a team like Paris if you

6:44:35

want to go and try to win the tournament

6:44:36

at some point. So, be ready for it. And

6:44:39

I just love the shooters we have on both

6:44:41

sides. Bashy gets plenty of gas with a

6:44:43

sniper. He has the power to lift a crowd

6:44:45

on its feet with the electricity he can

6:44:47

provide. And Sib is another player when

6:44:50

he's on point with it, ready for that

6:44:52

square up battle. But both of those

6:44:54

players with the sniper, it's all about

6:44:56

the feel. How are they feeling on the

6:44:57

day? Do they have the confidence? Do

6:44:59

they see something on the map that they

6:45:01

know they can identify and exploit those

6:45:03

mistakes? They want to just be standard

6:45:05

with the M15. I think Dashy has that

6:45:08

vision. If he's pulling it out, you know

6:45:10

he's got something good with Civ. It's

6:45:12

guess work, man. It's a wild card. But

6:45:14

when he hits, god, does he hit. If you

6:45:17

ain't hitting, you better be quick. Put

6:45:18

that sniper away. It can be a real

6:45:20

detriment.

6:45:22

We've seen very few effective snipes. I

6:45:24

think DM has hit one snipe today. That's

6:45:26

all we've seen at the tournament so far.

6:45:28

I'm not kidding. I think that might be

6:45:30

it. Correct me if I'm wrong, chat.

6:45:32

Exclamation mark drops for those

6:45:35

watching at home. I think it will drops

6:45:38

this time. A little little salty about

6:45:39

that. Champs always says the good stuff.

6:45:41

Oh well, I suppose I'm here.

6:45:44

>> We got a good seat in the house.

6:45:45

>> We have really good seats. Actually,

6:45:46

there's no bad seats in this house. It's

6:45:48

incredible. All right, here we go into

6:45:50

Denton. Everybody lock in map number

6:45:53

two.

6:45:56

It's going to be a spicy one. Both

6:45:58

squads won it.

6:46:02

Skyla Gal and Hoo yesterday versus

6:46:04

Miami. It was a pretty free run for

6:46:06

them. Optic looking exceptionally strong

6:46:09

yesterday. Today, tonight it's young.

6:46:12

And Hook is a hyperactive player in

6:46:15

search and destroy. He will be giving

6:46:17

you value at all times through comms,

6:46:20

through positionings, through his

6:46:22

ferociousness on the map. It'll be Paris

6:46:25

though to open up this first attacking

6:46:27

round.

6:46:29

Paris on the assault now. This is what

6:46:32

we expect.

6:46:35

Timing on that unfortunately way too

6:46:38

early there for Sid as he gets up to

6:46:40

that top sto

6:46:42

that 5.56. We now know that he's also

6:46:44

running an infantry. Well, Shotti's

6:46:45

taking space on the top side of the map.

6:46:47

His teammates know they get to remain

6:46:48

stagnant. And Shotti, well, you see the

6:46:51

shots ringing out. So, they've spotted

6:46:53

him and that means well, you want to

6:46:54

deal with shots here. Do you want to

6:46:55

force it over towards B? Harris looks

6:46:57

like the call is going to be this B.

6:46:58

Don't give this up. We made it this far.

6:47:00

Oh, what a nade. Young M start things

6:47:04

off with a bang. It's over to Ghosty now

6:47:06

doing to get the damage. It's not. It's

6:47:07

all there. Estreal gone.

6:47:10

Boss round for

6:47:13

four men up, four men down. Oppitic

6:47:16

delivered in round one. That first nade

6:47:19

there from Hercules. Strike while the

6:47:21

iron is hot. Got to be first.

6:47:26

>> I like the attempt there from the

6:47:27

gentleman. Even after that N pot, they

6:47:28

knew we can't lose this space. We have

6:47:31

to retain some form of initiative.

6:47:34

Oh,

6:47:35

>> to collapse on them immediately. A

6:47:37

decisive round. No kills for the

6:47:38

generators.

6:47:40

Round two. Here we go. And

6:47:43

>> Optic gets to control the action in this

6:47:44

round.

6:47:47

>> Little bit of noise made on both sides

6:47:49

of the map with the nades,

6:47:54

>> but just feeling out the round. No

6:47:56

trophies, no early commitments. You see

6:47:58

the corner shots he's playing. Maybe

6:48:01

trying to set up a trap.

6:48:06

We'll see if the homework pays off. Joe

6:48:08

deceives working with Ghost on B. You

6:48:10

see they're starting to creep up the map

6:48:12

just a little bit.

6:48:16

Here we go.

6:48:18

Joe's going to be the further man

6:48:19

forward.

6:48:21

An obvious position to check, but mid

6:48:23

map bust wide open. Estreal finding the

6:48:25

first and Joe immediately traded out

6:48:28

dashing down. Ghosty superb shots now

6:48:31

all down to Kylo Gar. One v3

6:48:36

round dashed immediately by the gentle

6:48:38

mates.

6:48:39

>> Yeah, Optic maybe hoping for aggression

6:48:40

on the defensive end. They were forced

6:48:42

to make the play and just get caught

6:48:44

towards the middle back. Hercules

6:48:46

actually the guy all the way through mid

6:48:48

trying to sort of find that hero play

6:48:50

hero route. Well, Estreal sniffs it out,

6:48:53

gives you the first blood. Joe Dees

6:48:55

pushed himself up into a credit spot.

6:48:57

Got one. The trades on point. Paris are

6:49:01

in.

6:49:01

>> Sometimes you just need one. Just get

6:49:03

yours.

6:49:04

>> Talk about that all the time in the Call

6:49:06

of Duty world. I got my kill.

6:49:09

>> That might be a new calling card. You

6:49:10

know, that'd be quite a fun one. I got

6:49:11

my kill. Unless we've already done that.

6:49:13

You never know.

6:49:16

One heavy presence there from Optic by

6:49:18

the Bombite. Dashing back in that middle

6:49:20

window position. And the general mates

6:49:22

there electing to the A hit. The timing

6:49:24

on this is so good. Both teams will meet

6:49:26

by the bomb site.

6:49:27

>> Everyone's here for Optic. for three

6:49:29

players.

6:49:30

Merk behind the tree. Dashy to watch

6:49:32

over him.

6:49:34

>> Estreal checks tons. Doesn't quite see

6:49:36

it. You'd love an AR in this position,

6:49:37

but Joe gets in. Here comes the pounce.

6:49:41

Murk in a position to make it happen.

6:49:44

No, Joe has deceived him.

6:49:49

Big nades now. No connection there from

6:49:51

Dashes, but that slime's still in play.

6:49:53

30 on the clock.

6:49:56

Smoke

6:49:58

attempt number two. All hands of the

6:50:00

mask. We are charging forward. Goes

6:50:01

through the deep defense. Lovely

6:50:02

positioning. Dashing over the snipe. Oh,

6:50:05

he connects. Last man. Joe dancing now

6:50:09

to stay alive. And what a chance this

6:50:11

could be. Joe playing it close.

6:50:17

Cleans up both.

6:50:21

What a round from Young Joe. That's what

6:50:23

he's there for. A bailout moment for the

6:50:25

team. Dashy connects with that snipe to

6:50:29

trade out those odds. That would have

6:50:31

been devastation for the channel maze

6:50:34

instead. Joe sees gets to be the hero.

6:50:39

Saw the makings of the optic play. Cross

6:50:41

that smoke line, get themselves in a

6:50:43

position where they can at least see the

6:50:44

bomb, at least contend with it. But Joe

6:50:46

dips out, doesn't elect for the wrap, he

6:50:48

just yo-yos his way back into sight for

6:50:50

the two-piece. in a heady play when he's

6:50:52

leaving the site to cut right over

6:50:53

towards mid instead of going for the

6:50:54

full wrap. It's a tough 50/50 but a

6:50:56

brilliant call.

6:51:00

>> Three spree there for Joe. See how long

6:51:02

that lasts. Shy very tricky right

6:51:05

through the top of that smoke blade.

6:51:06

Gets himself into a corner but still not

6:51:08

a lot of presence here from the gentle

6:51:09

mates. Fourman hit through dojo. We're

6:51:12

about to hit the map. Siv fights his way

6:51:14

forward. Trades out from Merk Estri from

6:51:16

behind. No good. Sim over the top. Good

6:51:20

for the kill on a one in the 2v2. Here

6:51:22

comes Dash on the pitch. Red by Sid.

6:51:24

Absolutely on point. Hoop. Last man

6:51:26

alive. He's trying to flip the map on

6:51:28

its head.

6:51:28

>> He's on the run, but you got plenty of

6:51:30

time here to play with.

6:51:32

Jamate still with position. H gets

6:51:35

himself right into the corner he wants.

6:51:36

Watching that clock. Is he in the time

6:51:39

versus the Jammates right now?

6:51:41

>> Might be right now in this moment.

6:51:47

That fifth man of votic trying to give

6:51:49

it away. The timing not good enough. The

6:51:51

crowd does not matter. The bomb

6:51:54

diffused.

6:51:56

Try to be the fifth man as much as you

6:51:59

want. Paris get the round.

6:52:04

And that is a wonderful gift from the

6:52:08

COD gods.

6:52:11

Absolutely no vision of it. The diffuse

6:52:13

already complete. Luke will walk away

6:52:15

with two kills, but the jet mates walk

6:52:17

away with the round

6:52:19

>> now on the attack controlling the base.

6:52:21

They are straight through mid. Ashley

6:52:23

hasn't been sniping. They're going to

6:52:24

smoke him out and they are going to go.

6:52:26

Three players soaring through. Watching

6:52:28

the B cut, but you got the SMGs crawling

6:52:31

over servers. These are close-range

6:52:32

gunfight. And this is Chanti by himself

6:52:35

and gunned down. Pairs for the first

6:52:37

blood. Full sight control. Ah,

6:52:39

>> he's throwing

6:52:41

now from Optic. How will they rebound?

6:52:44

back through the lobby. Bad news though,

6:52:45

you got Civ on a flank. The timing of

6:52:46

this will be outstanding. Estre holding

6:52:48

the front line. Damage dealt. Oh my good

6:52:50

god. Hercules has killed everyone. Sib's

6:52:54

pinch.

6:52:58

Swift violence on the bomb site. MK

6:53:02

might have taken care of a little too

6:53:03

much. Yeah, how many times have we seen

6:53:06

a retake on this bomb site exactly like

6:53:08

that? Another look at Joe's for the

6:53:10

first blood. Look at number six on the

6:53:12

mini map in this moment. Late playing

6:53:14

over towards the B site. So many of

6:53:16

these retakes. Everybody flies out

6:53:18

towards tree. Sid there just to clean up

6:53:21

crew utilizing that extra man advantage

6:53:24

perfectly. You lose a man, you lose a

6:53:26

set of eyes. You can't watch everything.

6:53:29

4-1. Gentle mates running away with it.

6:53:32

Back over to be we go. Shotsy. The only

6:53:34

man here for Optic and Nate's going to

6:53:37

fall a little short.

6:53:39

And look at this. gentleman swarming the

6:53:41

map. They are flying forward.

6:53:44

They'll open up their flank for a second

6:53:45

here for Optic to try to get on the bomb

6:53:46

side, but look at the pace being set by

6:53:48

Estrial. Stops the plant. What a play.

6:53:50

They sent two. They sent two and Optic

6:53:52

just not prepared. That is going to be

6:53:54

bombed down.

6:53:56

And Shotti caught back spawn as well.

6:53:58

Paris are flowing on dead. What a round

6:54:01

out of Extral right now.

6:54:04

See if there's another map. We're

6:54:05

looking at a possible view. What an

6:54:07

unbelievably decisive round from the

6:54:10

Paris gentle mates.

6:54:11

>> And they're feeling it. They're making

6:54:12

good calls. That is confident game play.

6:54:14

Estreal and Sid struggled a little bit

6:54:16

in map number one. That is a big round

6:54:19

for Estreal to find those two kills.

6:54:21

Back to back rounds both on offense and

6:54:24

defense. Paris just all over the middle

6:54:27

of the map. A wonderful access point.

6:54:30

They get options. You deal with Shotsi

6:54:32

in the back spawn. Hyper aggressive to

6:54:34

get that guy off bomb.

6:54:36

There's gentleman right now. They just

6:54:38

have the vision in this demo.

6:54:42

>> Boys off the spice after he's free from

6:54:44

S. See how much that plays. Not a lot of

6:54:47

points gained in that short life. Josie

6:54:51

somehow finding his way right through

6:54:52

the middle of the map. Doubles his

6:54:53

kills. That first blood so fast. And

6:54:56

he's now in prime position. The bomb guy

6:54:58

effectively cut off for Paris. This is a

6:55:00

very tricky 3v4.

6:55:01

>> You got to win something. Oh, you got to

6:55:03

win something on one side of the map to

6:55:04

make something happen. Chelsea will not

6:55:06

see this

6:55:09

as Joe crosses the back. He's made it

6:55:10

through undetected. Rendezv on the on

6:55:13

sights. Dashing so close yet so far.

6:55:16

Catch this.

6:55:20

Just as dangerous with the pistol. Now

6:55:22

the play is on. Joe can't get it done.

6:55:25

Dashy holds them bay for long enough.

6:55:27

And what do we see? Backto back rounds.

6:55:29

for Paris. Bully them through the middle

6:55:31

of the map. Out of shots, he respond. He

6:55:33

gets Hercules to watch over him and he

6:55:36

just flies through mid. Need that

6:55:38

aggression with aggression. Take down

6:55:40

Ghosti for the first blood. 10 seconds

6:55:42

into the round. Paris well already feels

6:55:45

like a hellish position.

6:55:48

They have a long way to go if they want

6:55:50

to make this come back, but strong round

6:55:52

nonetheless. That map point weighing

6:55:55

heavily on every choice they make in

6:55:57

these rounds.

6:55:59

No more mistakes allowed for optics for

6:56:01

general mates. You've got a couple to

6:56:02

burn before things get a little out of

6:56:04

hand. 2-2 here for the general on

6:56:06

defense.

6:56:11

>> Perfect corner here from Joe and Sid

6:56:13

playing that close position. Anyone who

6:56:15

crosses the threshold will be able to

6:56:16

spot it. And oh, the banks gets Joe

6:56:21

now. Pressure on towards the bomb. We

6:56:23

got Chanti watching the pen. So for

6:56:25

Optic, they know this is easy. Throw a

6:56:27

couple shoulders mid, but it's all dojo.

6:56:29

It's all dojo.

6:56:33

Waiting for the German mates to make

6:56:35

that move. Merk, very patient play.

6:56:38

And here comes the attempt. Do we wrap

6:56:41

back again? Go. What a moment to turn

6:56:43

now and just make sure that no one's

6:56:44

behind you. Good work on the count. 40

6:56:47

seconds to go. Chi has his friend.

6:56:48

Hercules is here to join him now.

6:56:50

They're trying to run this through. Goi

6:56:51

caught. He's dagged up in one shot and

6:56:54

Optic just switched the map. Now it's

6:56:55

going to be an a plan. Pulled a fast one

6:56:58

on him. 4v3. Bomb out of that. Here

6:57:01

comes the retake.

6:57:03

Estra in the close door. Ghosty stacked

6:57:05

up behind him.

6:57:08

Sid finding a way there through service.

6:57:09

Here comes the smoke. A classic play.

6:57:11

We've seen it many times. In the smoke

6:57:13

we go. Trades on. It is an absolute

6:57:16

mess. Ghosty with the damage. Here comes

6:57:19

Sip through the smoke again. And it's

6:57:21

not going to pay off. Go see it

6:57:26

turns to vapor

6:57:29

in the post plant position. And the last

6:57:31

thing you want to hear after you throw

6:57:33

that smoke is Shotti crawls into it. Oh

6:57:36

god. Now you're taking nightmare

6:57:38

gunfight and Shotti lives for that

6:57:41

chaos.

6:57:43

Just jumps into the mix and with the

6:57:44

extra advantage. Nothing you can do. But

6:57:46

this is just the goat gun. Smoke lands

6:57:49

and we just get active. Shotsi flies

6:57:52

out. Coup flies into it. Everybody

6:57:56

spinning in circles.

6:57:57

>> You were happy for the MPC players to be

6:57:58

there, but I mean S gets there a little

6:58:01

late. Unfortunately, you've even still

6:58:03

got Dashy in the back pocket there. That

6:58:05

was the insurance.

6:58:08

Swaps out yet again. No snipes to the

6:58:10

channel mates. Pressure now from

6:58:13

Estreads it. He gets caught on the door

6:58:15

frame. First blood. Perfect. And they

6:58:18

immediately ran back. Nobody's throwing

6:58:19

away their lives here.

6:58:23

No connection. Worrying about them in

6:58:25

that bit. All bases covered. But wait

6:58:27

down. Damage from Dashy.

6:58:30

How's he pulled that off with a pistol?

6:58:32

Joe 1 v4

6:58:34

and he's swinging.

6:58:37

What a round from Bruce.

6:58:44

>> There's gentlemen. That 51 lead they

6:58:47

had.

6:58:50

>> Feeling the heat now. They had a couple

6:58:52

of rounds to burn, but now 54 hurts.

6:58:56

This was Dashy's perspective.

6:58:59

Great position.

6:59:00

>> Beautiful.

6:59:00

>> The instant swap to the JA 45. Wow.

6:59:06

54.

6:59:08

A five spree for Shotsy. The German

6:59:10

stunned after that one. You had a few

6:59:12

rounds to burn.

6:59:16

And now it is nothing but cinders and

6:59:17

hash

6:59:22

has to hit the snipe out. Now is trying

6:59:24

to make some play now in the middle of

6:59:25

the map. He's got some space to work

6:59:26

with. But wait,

6:59:30

here comes the double check.

6:59:34

Close, but no cigar.

6:59:38

Estreal, what a first blood. There's the

6:59:41

smoke.

6:59:42

It just prevails for now. Nades in.

6:59:46

Dashy banged up, but here we go. Trying

6:59:47

to get that pressure through the window

6:59:49

now. Pressure towards the B bomb site as

6:59:50

well.

6:59:53

M gets away with his life.

6:59:56

3v3. They might be trying to swing this

6:59:58

back. What decision you want to make

6:59:59

with the bomb. Able to catch the air.

7:00:01

And Jod sees the once mistake might be

7:00:04

fatal.

7:00:05

>> Oh, and there's the catch from Hercules.

7:00:07

A four spree and double digit kills. has

7:00:09

wiped the beam bomb site clean alone. 30

7:00:11

seconds to make something happen though.

7:00:13

This could work in a Paris's favor.

7:00:15

>> They're reading it though. Sid wrapping

7:00:17

back. Estro wrapping back. They're man

7:00:18

down, but they are reading it. That's

7:00:20

the main denied trophy place. Oh, never

7:00:24

mind. Not quite enough to get back in

7:00:27

position now. Sid on the outside of

7:00:29

servers. Here comes the entry. First

7:00:32

kill. Fantastic. Gets away with it for

7:00:34

now. He and Estra make it a 2v2.

7:00:37

>> Got to go fast. How good is the teamwork

7:00:38

here for saving Estreal? We certainly

7:00:40

check the bait and switch right now.

7:00:42

Dashy just on the outside of the window.

7:00:46

Estreal prevails yet again down a M. 1

7:00:48

v2

7:00:50

and S. What a retake from the gentle

7:00:54

mates.

7:00:57

An unbelievable test of chemistry.

7:01:00

64 the final score. We're tied up 1-1 in

7:01:04

the series.

7:01:16

Search and destroy. Quite the game mode.

7:01:18

You see this scoreboard. You're going to

7:01:20

see Paris just got out slayed by a

7:01:22

decent margin. Still found the win. So

7:01:25

many clutches. Those late 1v one

7:01:27

situations. Taking care of business.

7:01:30

Near magical moments coming through from

7:01:32

Mic. if they can dash it with the snipe

7:01:33

in the 3v4 for the retake going to be

7:01:35

there. Go to see that one v2 he had that

7:01:39

heroic play kickstarted that momentum

7:01:42

gentleman just built too big of a lead.

7:01:45

No looking at that magical moments as

7:01:47

well. The 1v2 was great obviously that

7:01:48

retake to close it out but don't forget

7:01:50

the diffuse. That diffuse against hoop

7:01:52

was absolutely perfect. Incredible

7:01:55

stuff. Nice work on the diffusers to

7:01:57

Estreal and Sid and those first bloods

7:02:00

as well. Both teams just put on a great

7:02:02

stroke.

7:02:02

>> And you know when you're playing against

7:02:03

OP Texas, your first blood game plan,

7:02:05

you want to make sure does not go crazy.

7:02:08

He only gets one first blood and three

7:02:10

first deaths. So gentle mates had a good

7:02:12

game plan got out slayed but they won

7:02:15

all the rounds they needed. Tied up

7:02:17

series 1-1. It's been a near day of game

7:02:20

five. What a treat it would be to get

7:02:22

one in this series.

7:02:23

>> Where were you? You never know, my man.

7:02:25

You never know what Scar Colossus is

7:02:26

then. We have to go the full distance or

7:02:28

no whatever it was. Well, on the other

7:02:30

side of the break, we do have another

7:02:31

overload game. Uh, quick thoughts before

7:02:33

we go to it. Now, you know what? Let's

7:02:34

just go a break. That's what the fans

7:02:35

want. That's what the people at home

7:02:36

want. Let's just go to a break. We'll

7:02:37

play overload on the other side.

7:06:45

>> Is it red?

7:06:46

>> Is it red?

7:06:48

>> It's red everywhere. It's red

7:06:50

everywhere.

7:06:52

>> Oh my god.

7:06:55

>> Running. We're just running at him.

7:07:00

>> As Karma finds another two-piece. Here's

7:07:02

the overdrive. popped. Is he just trying

7:07:04

to back him up? Make it all the Crimix.

7:07:11

The curse has been broken.

7:07:15

The dynasty has been cemented.

7:07:19

They are the greatest roster in Call of

7:07:22

Duty history.

7:07:24

Optic Gaming are officially the Call of

7:07:28

Duty World League Champions.

7:07:33

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Say

7:07:35

hello and goodbye to our watch pies as

7:07:36

we zip on over. Tons of action taking

7:07:40

place here at COD Champs. Hello. A live

7:07:43

look across the arena as our drove makes

7:07:46

his way round. I wonder if you never

7:07:49

know what a time we are having. Woohoo.

7:07:52

All right, into the map number three we

7:07:54

go. Fun and games over now. Strictly

7:07:56

strictly business. Welcome back to Judge

7:07:58

Miles. Chance taking you through this

7:07:59

next one. A little bit of overload,

7:08:00

mate. How are we feeling?

7:08:01

>> It's a scar, man. The ARs have an

7:08:03

opportunity to fry. We saw how that went

7:08:05

in map number one. Bit of a slow start

7:08:07

for the Optic players. They absolutely

7:08:09

kicked up and took over and dominated.

7:08:12

I'd have to imagine they have the extra

7:08:13

edge. That being said, it's all about

7:08:15

the big plays in overload and Paris have

7:08:17

been no stranger to it. Great execution

7:08:19

and yes, indeed. Joe Steves is a monster

7:08:21

and the two players that had a bit of a

7:08:23

slow map one started to kick up getting

7:08:26

a feel for it. We are now settled into

7:08:28

the series. Anybody's ball game,

7:08:30

>> anyone's game. We've still got plenty to

7:08:32

play for here.

7:08:34

>> Playing for a spot in the winners as we

7:08:37

take a look across the bracket waiting

7:08:39

for Faze in that winners finals. The

7:08:43

loser of this one will fall down to play

7:08:45

G2. And that is not a team you want to

7:08:48

have to deal with. You absolutely want

7:08:50

to stay in winners as long as you

7:08:52

possibly can. Grand finals will be a

7:08:54

separate thing. It is only on Sunday.

7:08:56

All the se thematic dealings we have had

7:08:59

for the first four majors though it is

7:09:00

winners bracket you want the whole way

7:09:02

through.

7:09:03

>> Yeah phase set pretty after that 3 0

7:09:06

versus the Falcons.

7:09:15

It's high noon somewhere chance.

7:09:18

We got ourselves 10 minutes to find out

7:09:20

which one of these hit teams is the best

7:09:22

at overload.

7:09:25

Grab that there, EMP. Runner home to

7:09:27

score. First of four flipped to half.

7:09:31

You ready, partner?

7:09:35

>> Yes, sir. Yes, I am.

7:09:36

>> Yes, I am. So, let's do this. All right.

7:09:39

We're having too much fun here at

7:09:40

Champs. What a great tournament it's

7:09:41

been so far. Scar overload first to

7:09:43

eight. Who's going to make it rain?

7:09:45

We're going to go to that Colossus right

7:09:47

after this. Yeehaw, Texas.

7:09:53

Shadow be

7:09:55

>> killing it. Killing it.

7:09:58

Killing it. Wow. There is splinters and

7:10:01

casings and bodies all over the place.

7:10:03

>> And Sid gets to be that containment guy.

7:10:05

Shotsi about to start to get out of

7:10:07

control. You slow the SMG players down

7:10:09

and reset the map. A little bit

7:10:12

aggressive there for the optic players,

7:10:13

but hey, they've made the break. That is

7:10:15

three players standing on the zone.

7:10:17

However, the device that they score

7:10:19

with, they're still in mid. I just had

7:10:21

an optic stack the point memory.

7:10:23

>> There go. Number two picking up. He's

7:10:26

gone.

7:10:27

>> Here we go. It's in.

7:10:33

>> Stacking. No points. No more. We are

7:10:34

scoring the NP.

7:10:35

>> Yeah, they it was too good of a start.

7:10:37

They didn't know what to do. Well, now

7:10:38

they're snapping into position. I mean,

7:10:41

dominating the top side of the map. And

7:10:42

if Hoop's able to get behind you, force

7:10:44

me spawns out. This might be the rally

7:10:46

cap you're looking for. The aggression

7:10:48

is pure, but the wind from Estreal

7:10:50

enough to slow you down. You stop the

7:10:52

device guy. You can take a deep breath.

7:10:55

>> He takes a couple now. Generate set up

7:10:57

on the top side of the map. That's where

7:10:58

the EMP will spawn a reset.

7:11:03

Joe

7:11:06

trying to keep these players out. It's

7:11:07

not a good look right now. That's the

7:11:08

last man dead. Shsy, he's the first man

7:11:10

up at the goal. He's now all over the

7:11:12

spawn. There's the pickup. Trying to

7:11:14

make the run. Dashi's going to try and

7:11:16

stay alive here. What a nade from Joan.

7:11:18

Shotsi's play now denied.

7:11:20

>> Unbelievable. Both Ghosty and Joesie

7:11:22

making the monster play to slow this

7:11:24

down. You still have a shot in your top

7:11:27

green. Well, taking care of and you are

7:11:29

just dealing with the sort of Congo line

7:11:31

of optic players putting pressure on

7:11:33

your spawn. Mercile is able to get to

7:11:34

two. So, he's the next man in line and

7:11:36

Paris can't touch the device with

7:11:38

pressure like this.

7:11:39

>> Just when you think you've got a

7:11:40

football named over the top. An

7:11:43

explosive return. a super the NPC. He

7:11:45

the boys are now going to find

7:11:46

something. But there's a run happening.

7:11:47

Why have we not stopped him? How's he

7:11:50

done that? Shing. There were three men

7:11:53

in the vicinity. What a steal. A man, a

7:11:56

lot of people missing scores in this

7:11:58

moment. Paris at the top of that list.

7:12:00

And I think well looking to go back to

7:12:02

back to back at the tournament and for

7:12:04

the captures here in Overload. Both

7:12:06

sides of ice spawn. They have it in

7:12:07

hand. Dashi holding down low. Motel

7:12:12

open. The run now on. Who's going to try

7:12:14

and slow with the navy? Here we go.

7:12:15

General Mason get a couple of kills

7:12:16

here. Estreal is going to be a pivotal

7:12:18

moment from him on that flank. Oh, it's

7:12:21

all for dead. It's a big run. And it

7:12:23

might be three. Got to go fast. Worried

7:12:25

about the names, worried about the suns,

7:12:27

worried about nothing.

7:12:30

>> What a dive. The possession is

7:12:32

unbelievable

7:12:33

so far. Optic near perfect game of

7:12:36

overload. Just blitz them. They've

7:12:38

outlaid him on every single map. The SND

7:12:40

included right now. They are just

7:12:41

lighting up the kill feed and they are

7:12:43

looking dominant. We have spent so much

7:12:45

time on optic players just living inside

7:12:48

of the Paris players. Another pick up

7:12:50

here. Shotsy trying to be that point

7:12:51

man. He's block looking for the damage.

7:12:54

Big play now. Civ trying to stop him

7:12:55

right in the middle of the map. Only for

7:12:56

a second longer. Big Roose shooting fish

7:12:59

in a barrel right now

7:13:02

over the top. Shots he goes. No good.

7:13:04

Now Dashy with a rock.

7:13:07

stand up and it is an onslaught right

7:13:09

now from Paris as they try to take the

7:13:11

initiative back trying to touch that

7:13:12

device. Might be the first time they've

7:13:14

touched this this entire half. There is

7:13:16

now that front line manage to give you

7:13:18

two device not going to be home just

7:13:20

yet. You got number two shot if you wrap

7:13:23

this back. You're wrapping it back right

7:13:24

into it. Now Joe Siege nowhere to go.

7:13:27

Optic Stuff 80% time of possession. A

7:13:31

dominant first half.

7:13:33

>> Absolutely a one-sided affair so far.

7:13:36

Big Bruce 12 and seven.

7:13:40

Got that big iron on his hip right now.

7:13:43

EMP still in his hands. No more runs.

7:13:45

Civides will stop it. Opportunity

7:13:47

finally here for the journal mates to

7:13:49

make something happen. You've dealt with

7:13:51

Shi in your spawn. Can you get forward

7:13:54

able to get one in this half? You have a

7:13:57

little bit of confidence going into side

7:13:59

number two. I don't know if you're going

7:14:01

to allow it to happen. Everybody

7:14:03

swarming in position. Dashy calling out

7:14:04

all these players. He just tracked the

7:14:06

entire team. Got tags into everybody.

7:14:08

Shots dealt with the player there on the

7:14:09

EMP now down a man. You've still got

7:14:11

Optic holding this back line. Defense is

7:14:13

solid. 30 seconds. We're ripping through

7:14:15

the clock. And Dashy still finding

7:14:17

damage. Merk on the left flank. Can he

7:14:19

find another man here? The run is on.

7:14:20

EMP down. Shotsy yet again. Another

7:14:23

stop. No. Two-piece. Joe. Can he wrap

7:14:25

back in time? Do they have the numbers?

7:14:27

20 to go.

7:14:28

>> Pitch holding the next 20 seconds. See

7:14:30

if you can find that score. Joke is

7:14:31

looking for the moment. Can't quite get

7:14:33

it. Yoshi and Ezreal. Extra men there.

7:14:35

Big responsibility for Chanty and not

7:14:37

good enough. The capture is good. Paris

7:14:40

a little bit of a lifeline into the

7:14:43

second half. Shout out Estreal. I

7:14:46

suppose 18 and 13. The only reason Paris

7:14:50

aren't getting massively outslayed.

7:14:53

Still an extremely strong first half on

7:14:56

Optic. This second capture was

7:14:58

absolutely outrageous from Shotsy.

7:15:01

The first one would get an impressive

7:15:03

hold right off the rim. The opening

7:15:04

great, great, but watch this run. Quick

7:15:06

grab, instant steal. Sim in the top

7:15:09

window. Joe and Estri have gone the

7:15:10

wrong way. And go see from spawn. That

7:15:12

is astonishing. And Sid turned his brain

7:15:15

off for that moment. Unaware looking the

7:15:17

wrong direction to score basically in

7:15:19

between all four player pairs players.

7:15:23

It's almost like a meta shift. The the

7:15:25

way you expect overload to be played in

7:15:27

this time of the year. It has a natural

7:15:29

feel towards it. Chanti will pierce

7:15:31

straight through that will do things

7:15:34

different. Shout out for that 3-1 lead.

7:15:36

Expect the unexpected here at Chance.

7:15:41

Second half now. Swapping sides. Jenner

7:15:43

makes with a late resurgence. And what

7:15:44

an effort for that single goal.

7:15:49

Heavy stack here but Joe start

7:15:52

proceedings in a nice way there for the

7:15:53

general mates. We got shots. He damaged

7:15:55

and the play is on.

7:15:56

>> Paris and they they're just trying to

7:15:58

get that device out and cross it. If we

7:16:00

get two more kills, but couldn't quite

7:16:01

make anything happen. Optic do enough to

7:16:04

survive. We see the J base come back.

7:16:06

The pressure is absolutely here. They

7:16:07

maintain the middle map. Estra still

7:16:10

marching across it. Pushed right back.

7:16:12

Here's the pickup. Possession is on.

7:16:14

Ghosty down. This should be a good one.

7:16:16

We've got Mans in position. Trophies in

7:16:18

play. Paris are alive. Trophy there for

7:16:20

the long term. S here for the short

7:16:22

term. going to get caught. Two kills in

7:16:24

the feed there from Optic. Make it the

7:16:25

entire squad. They get the wipe. They

7:16:27

get the pressure. More importantly, they

7:16:29

get the plane heading. But Joe Joe's got

7:16:31

a corner. Joe might be able to stop this

7:16:33

right here and now. Here we go. Dips out

7:16:35

for the kill onto the carrier. That's

7:16:37

clean three. Hoop. The only man left up

7:16:39

alive now. An opportunity for Paris to

7:16:41

take the map. This is a tough spot for

7:16:43

you. You don't have the plane heading.

7:16:44

Sid might be able to take it from you.

7:16:46

Great shot, but a defensive trophy.

7:16:50

They're playing for the long game.

7:16:51

Estreal push up into spawn. Paris,

7:16:53

they're looking for the kills before he

7:16:54

can really push towards the spice.

7:16:56

>> Estreal Joe trying to find something on

7:16:58

the other side of the map and they get a

7:16:59

foothold. Go see in a bit of trouble now

7:17:02

there on the pickup. Two-piece and a run

7:17:04

now with EMP

7:17:07

plane side. Backing shots here on the

7:17:09

cross. Great shots from Estre. That is

7:17:11

23 kills early on. And who obviously not

7:17:13

too far behind even 23 itself. We got a

7:17:16

shootout here on Star. 3 minutes on the

7:17:19

play. So playing the first go shuts down

7:17:22

the run still trying to maintain

7:17:24

position. Sims got to find this. That's

7:17:25

not going to happen. That could be

7:17:26

another goal. H the overextension and

7:17:29

here it comes. It's a hat-tick for

7:17:31

Shotsy. 4-2. 3 minutes to play.

7:17:34

>> And it's the classic Sid with the most

7:17:36

teammates you're ever going to see from

7:17:37

a pro player. Delivers another one. And

7:17:40

now you're down two.

7:17:43

MK still at large.

7:17:47

Alting now completely covering the base.

7:17:49

Ah, but a trap there by Joe and Civ now

7:17:51

manages to evict shots as Merkel was

7:17:53

left in position and a great bit of

7:17:55

damage there. Sibstrial on the play and

7:17:57

now an opportunity for Paris to go

7:17:58

forward.

7:17:59

>> Yeah, stress relief. I was going to say

7:18:01

no more pioneers.

7:18:03

Shanti gets this kill. He might just be

7:18:05

able to run this one by himself. Bears

7:18:07

have to turn quick and Shanti whether or

7:18:09

not he knows that's the play.

7:18:11

>> He's got it. That's number five.

7:18:13

Anthony Quos Castro. Nobody does it

7:18:16

better.

7:18:19

>> Too smart. He plays with the ideas.

7:18:21

Understands the game better than anybody

7:18:23

else. Shot the ingame high IQ. He has

7:18:27

such a good look there. Paris. Two

7:18:28

minutes still. Another grab here from

7:18:30

Optic. Another run. Chsy looking for his

7:18:34

fifth. He's gone low. There's the read

7:18:37

from Sim and a stop.

7:18:40

>> 150 left to play. Paris are going to

7:18:41

have to score. They're going to have to

7:18:42

score fast. Three kills in the feed.

7:18:45

Pressure alleviated.

7:18:48

Ziv looking to take this plane side.

7:18:49

They're going to get a little bit weird

7:18:50

with it. Atypical to see go this

7:18:53

direction.

7:18:54

Siv is entirely side with the device in

7:18:56

hand. Still needs to keep the play in

7:18:58

the middle open. This is still doable.

7:18:59

Minute 30 to go. Pockets empty. Go over

7:19:02

the top. It's in. 53. Good patience.

7:19:05

Good timing. Trusting your teammates.

7:19:06

Ghosty to give you two in that moment.

7:19:08

And it is a topside device spawn. If

7:19:10

you're optic, you never have to touch

7:19:11

it. You live on that lane heading.

7:19:13

>> Trying to maintain some presence in the

7:19:15

middle of the map. Try to eliminate the

7:19:16

options optic have got. He gets a bit

7:19:18

overzealous

7:19:19

on board with Estro takes a very

7:19:21

unfortunate wall bang from the nuke.

7:19:24

Optic stacking up now on the new EMP.

7:19:27

>> There's just two players watching mid

7:19:28

cut. He both Hercules and Ash were doing

7:19:30

it. A team kill technically there with

7:19:32

the trophy system, but if you're bears,

7:19:34

you do not have a lot of time.

7:19:35

>> Trying to make something happen. Est on

7:19:37

the flank. He's gone straight past that

7:19:39

plunder above him. And now a red dot to

7:19:40

deal with. Ghosty still. They find the

7:19:42

kill. Man down. And here comes number

7:19:45

four.

7:19:46

It's good. It's a one-point game. And

7:19:49

we're going low. It's going to be Joe to

7:19:50

see the first one there for Paris. And

7:19:52

he knows he doesn't have the pressure.

7:19:54

He does not have the support. He is

7:19:55

waiting for overaggression for the optic

7:19:57

players. Hercules though. They pump the

7:19:59

break. You got the middle of the map

7:20:00

though. You have an avenue now to cause

7:20:01

the damage. Another gunfight win from

7:20:02

Sid. All comes down and Hercules has to

7:20:05

save this one. He's staying alive.

7:20:07

Here's the pickup. We're trying to make

7:20:08

something happen again. Shotsy finds a

7:20:10

corner. Will Siv be checked. He's

7:20:13

through. It's no good. Two-piece. Shotsy

7:20:16

down. The fight is alive. EMP is

7:20:19

running. Hook trying to save it here.

7:20:22

You have to kill Hook. You have to find

7:20:25

him. Joe's going to go. Can he grab it

7:20:28

in time? It's over. Optic take the lead.

7:20:41

And you parked that bus. You better put

7:20:44

the handbrake on. That got a little bit

7:20:48

too dicey.

7:20:53

A cosmic effort from the Paris. Jon

7:20:55

makes to pull that back, but Optic take

7:20:58

the lead. And you just got a slang

7:21:00

performance from Shotsy that is

7:21:02

uninspired. 22 and 23. Only four

7:21:06

assists. The damage not good. None of

7:21:08

that matters. Four overloads in his

7:21:11

ability to find the creativity, the

7:21:14

novelty to get these scores. Two

7:21:17

different ones in this game. Rashotti, a

7:21:20

new player, a unicorn in Call of Duty

7:21:23

and console esports. He simply finds a

7:21:26

way and creates the magic to get Optic

7:21:29

that win.

7:21:29

>> Seeing the space between the spaces and

7:21:31

threading it every time. These

7:21:33

highlights folks, a first half, an

7:21:35

extraordinarily strong display from

7:21:37

Optic. The first three goals amazing.

7:21:39

Paris makes they find the muscle. They

7:21:41

find that magic going into the second

7:21:42

half with a sense that they can actually

7:21:45

do this. And my god did they come close.

7:21:48

Unbelievable tenacity from both our

7:21:50

squads. But the Paris General Banks just

7:21:52

shy.

7:21:54

And these highlights, this could be one

7:21:55

of my favorite maps of the year.

7:21:56

>> Yeah. And I don't know if we're going

7:21:57

to, you know, catch the route that shots

7:21:59

he takes, but when you have the low side

7:22:01

device spawn, he goes plain heady and

7:22:03

wraps all the way around. So, it is the

7:22:05

route he takes before this that is the

7:22:08

difference maker. The most criticism Chi

7:22:11

has faced this year, it is for those

7:22:13

routes. He flanks every single life,

7:22:15

every single time. He's limiting. He's

7:22:18

out of position. He's such an easy read.

7:22:20

Why does he make these plays is because

7:22:22

at top chance champs in the finals of

7:22:25

the winners finals trying to push

7:22:26

through and get to that next level. He

7:22:29

has seen it all. All the repetitions in

7:22:32

the world for these types of moments.

7:22:35

This is why Shotti whatever you see

7:22:36

throughout the entire season you wait to

7:22:39

watch him action.

7:22:40

>> You just waited Dante. I was trying to

7:22:41

say shots in the corner. We just need to

7:22:43

wait. If you wait me too.

7:22:46

>> Should have could have would have

7:22:48

couldn't. to Colossus. We now go map

7:22:51

four.

7:22:53

Jon makes firm position there on the

7:22:55

scar below. The den was great. This is

7:22:58

their last chance in guess work on the

7:23:00

comms. That could have been many

7:23:01

moments, but I believe that was the end

7:23:03

when shots is laying down on the steps.

7:23:04

Josie had the awareness. Talk about a

7:23:07

level like this to understand that

7:23:09

connection.

7:23:11

Could have had the big play, but here it

7:23:13

is. Big time moments. A 2-1 lead for

7:23:16

Optic. Match point.

7:23:20

Oh,

7:23:20

>> still the winners. So, good news. You

7:23:21

know, you drop down, you got a bit of a

7:23:22

loser bracket run. G2 watching this one

7:23:24

anxiously taking notes. Envoy revenge

7:23:27

time. Oh,

7:23:28

>> it's Champs, mate. The stories right

7:23:30

themselves.

7:23:32

>> They're going into Colossus. How we

7:23:34

feeling about this one again? Both

7:23:35

squads dangerous in the response.

7:23:38

>> Optic are the best team on Colossus.

7:23:40

They have been all year except for in

7:23:42

the grand finals. The record has been a

7:23:45

spectacle. You have extremely high

7:23:47

expectations for them on this map, but

7:23:50

oh man, maybe a little bit of a

7:23:52

difference maker. You truly never know

7:23:54

what you're going to see. I do know in

7:23:57

the slaying department, Optic have

7:23:58

certainly had the edge in this series,

7:24:01

including the map that they lost. So, no

7:24:04

doubt about their ability. It's just

7:24:06

about those individual players for

7:24:07

Paris. Have to kick it up a notch, have

7:24:09

to make up for the mistakes maybe that

7:24:11

were rolling through on map three. But a

7:24:12

map on Colossus as well, if you're being

7:24:13

outslayed, if you cannot find kills, you

7:24:15

really will suffer.

7:24:17

>> Vicious, vicious map to deal with from

7:24:19

the back foot. We have not seen that

7:24:21

many comebacks on this map all year

7:24:23

long.

7:24:23

>> And of course, you know, if you're crim

7:24:26

see what kind of magic he can pull off,

7:24:28

but you know, as Shield, the front line

7:24:30

man from SMG, in my mind though, it's

7:24:33

needs the bounce back. He was a key

7:24:35

factor in two different scores. Optic

7:24:37

got where he's making the mistakes, both

7:24:39

a teammate. It's unfortunate it happens,

7:24:41

but that rolls through and turns into a

7:24:43

very quick optic capture. Chanti just

7:24:46

piercing through the plane side running

7:24:47

straight up. He was the guy in the top

7:24:49

window not able to get a side on. Very

7:24:51

tricky moment. I don't know what

7:24:52

happened on his screen, but I don't I

7:24:54

want to see his screen for the map four

7:24:56

and see if he can bounce back. I think

7:24:57

he could.

7:24:58

>> They have the EMP just nothing happened,

7:25:00

which is tough, but hey, we don't know

7:25:02

what was really going on there.

7:25:04

Final few moments here for our coaches

7:25:06

to be on stage and

7:25:09

get it all going here. And all things

7:25:11

considered, the gentleman's camp morale

7:25:14

seems high.

7:25:16

Whatever they're dealing with, whatever

7:25:17

the issue may be, the good times are not

7:25:19

here. Champs is a different beast.

7:25:23

>> What do coaches say before a colossus?

7:25:25

>> I don't know. I mean, Mayhem might have

7:25:27

a tight vibe.

7:25:28

>> Throw your nades on P1. Get statue

7:25:31

control on P1.

7:25:32

>> Yeah, I'm wondering.

7:25:34

He's got some He's got some good jokes.

7:25:35

>> That's what it is. He's vibing. He's got

7:25:37

some good vibing for it.

7:25:38

>> He's got a tight vibe. He's just come

7:25:39

back from the comedy cell and he's

7:25:40

absolutely spit.

7:25:43

The boys definitely seem to be in a very

7:25:45

very good place mentally as a squad. So

7:25:48

for a Paris Gamix fan, and I know there

7:25:50

are millions of you out there, you're

7:25:53

definitely looking at this situation and

7:25:54

going, "Hey, we got this. We're going to

7:25:56

let Joe go wild." But for Optic, it's

7:25:59

barely about the gentle mates and it's

7:26:02

about the tournament in general.

7:26:04

One more map at a time

7:26:08

right now.

7:26:11

That's what he said.

7:26:12

>> I know. That's what you said.

7:26:15

>> Karma

7:26:16

>> DB5.

7:26:19

>> He's filled up one hand, starting on the

7:26:22

next.

7:26:22

>> Starting on the next. Three as a player.

7:26:26

Started coasting in 2023 and he's got

7:26:28

two rings since then. Yeah, we're

7:26:30

running out of digits for this legend.

7:26:34

a 2020 retirement hit like a truck.

7:26:39

>> Can't forget JP Chance your old pal.

7:26:41

Gold stats. GG.

7:26:44

Big fan. Yeah, he was my favorite SAS

7:26:46

guy for a very long time. I'm going to

7:26:48

tip it to Easy Mac and take the moment

7:26:49

and give him the extra edge. Easy has

7:26:51

been out of control the past few years,

7:26:53

but JP built different. What he has done

7:26:56

behind the scenes for this team, no one

7:26:58

questions him at this point. He's one of

7:27:00

those guys that doesn't have a

7:27:01

background in competitive gaming,

7:27:03

probably doesn't play COD at a very high

7:27:04

level, but he is genuinely one of the

7:27:06

smartest people you could possibly have.

7:27:08

He has earned the respect of his team.

7:27:10

And if you earn the respect of Karma

7:27:12

coming with that outside knowledge,

7:27:14

can't speak any more highly of this

7:27:16

young man.

7:27:19

Good sign, folks. So, those headsets

7:27:21

coming off

7:27:24

a moment of ice after that one-point

7:27:26

game of overload now to get into the

7:27:28

Colossus. So, we're going to be redot

7:27:29

going into this one fast.

7:27:31

And this is one of the highest kill

7:27:33

production maps we have in the league in

7:27:35

Black Ops 7. The kill record set on this

7:27:37

very map. It is the one where you're

7:27:39

going to see the most flurry of

7:27:41

activity. Spawn, throw, stun, throw a

7:27:43

take a fight, die, rinse, repeat

7:27:45

endlessly. It is a war of attrition.

7:27:49

You cannot afford to have a slow start,

7:27:51

slow middle, slow, slow nothing. You

7:27:53

have to be on point at all times.

7:27:57

>> Yeah. Yeah, a lapse of judgment is going

7:27:59

to hurt on this map, especially at this

7:28:00

level between these two teams. So, we

7:28:02

are looking for as close to mistake free

7:28:04

as we can get it. As you can see, top

7:28:06

side of the bracket, Optic taking on

7:28:08

gentle mates. Optic are one map away

7:28:10

from a date with Faze. They're in the

7:28:12

winners finals, the grand finals of

7:28:14

champs, the legacy, the ring, the

7:28:16

trophy, the accolades that come with it

7:28:18

are a mere few days away.

7:28:22

G2 waiting there in the lower bracket

7:28:23

for the loser of this matchup. And can

7:28:25

the gentle mates force their way to a

7:28:27

final map?

7:28:29

No more waxing. No more waning. Colossus

7:28:32

loading in.

7:28:41

Map number four. Strictly business here

7:28:44

at the Hotel Colossus.

7:28:47

There's nothing relaxing about this

7:28:49

resort.

7:28:53

Both squads ready to go. Last life here

7:28:56

in the winners bracket for the general

7:28:58

mates. We're opting to date with fates.

7:29:02

This map will start fast and it will end

7:29:05

fast as well. Here we go. Map four. See

7:29:10

what kind of dance this man has. Starts

7:29:12

out. He's in the right side. An SMG

7:29:14

battle on the right side of the map. If

7:29:16

I see you doing this in rank, I'm going

7:29:17

to be upset at this level. That is a

7:29:19

first blood for Shotti. That is AI in

7:29:22

control.

7:29:22

>> S last man now going to back on up.

7:29:25

You're going to hear that little beat.

7:29:26

Know those players are crossing down

7:29:27

low. So that's Joe's job trying to deal

7:29:30

with with shots here on the outside. And

7:29:32

a big pick up. Three in a row. He's

7:29:35

doing laps. It's the first blood on

7:29:36

Estre on the top side of the mini map.

7:29:38

Teleports to the bottom left corner.

7:29:40

Impossible to track. So difficult to

7:29:43

deal with. And by the time he drops,

7:29:45

it's already one of the best P1 starts

7:29:47

you will see all year long. Optic with

7:29:50

30 seconds to none and they continue to

7:29:52

run it up.

7:29:54

>> Single kills. All the journal have got

7:29:55

thanks to ghost and estro now joining

7:29:57

forces. What a dive there. Joe fade away

7:29:59

out of the window into the feed. Hook

7:30:01

his five spree now. Done. Looking at

7:30:03

that P2 journal are in. This is the

7:30:06

bounce back. Great. Great iron chi right

7:30:10

now. He is locked into this game. You

7:30:13

know the next kill he's going to get it.

7:30:14

A six in one start. The right side

7:30:16

spawns for Optic in a 30-point lead

7:30:18

already. Bears players though, they're

7:30:20

pouncing, forcing the spawn out and they

7:30:22

are all over that backline coverage now.

7:30:24

Sosti taken care of. It's going to be a

7:30:27

1 v one there on the front. Mer guesses

7:30:29

right. Big win. Dashi gets his as well.

7:30:33

Optic full control. Everything they

7:30:35

needed to deal with that first wave and

7:30:37

continue to push this score up. And

7:30:40

honestly, a controlled sort of pace. Not

7:30:43

flying and frying for the moment. Just

7:30:45

easy facilitation.

7:30:48

Teamwork's going to be there. Two bodies

7:30:49

in time. You got shots towards the mid.

7:30:51

Tug starting to hit the venge and pairs

7:30:52

are getting obliterated here on the

7:30:55

losses. Another fourman wipe getting

7:30:57

able to P3 right now. That's the game

7:30:59

plan. And Shy and Dash already there.

7:31:00

Big hits now from Sim and Joe out of

7:31:03

spawn and right into position. Shy now

7:31:06

down. This is an opportunity finally for

7:31:08

the journal mates to get what they want.

7:31:09

Oh, first set of kills they're able to

7:31:11

get in succession. spawns though going

7:31:13

to be a little bit weird. He spotted

7:31:15

towards the godheadi. And good news,

7:31:16

Ghosti wins the gun fight to clear out

7:31:18

blue. So you don't have the spawns you

7:31:19

want, but you are safe and secure in

7:31:21

this time. There's the heady. Perfect on

7:31:23

a dash. You going to keep it back for a

7:31:24

second longer. Jonas now trying to fan

7:31:27

out. Create some sort of defensive

7:31:28

network to identify the attack and

7:31:31

you've seen it coming. It hasn't made a

7:31:33

difference. Fall down. There's the

7:31:34

break. Just a drive by from Shotti

7:31:37

soaring from the heavens above. And

7:31:38

well, this is now a very painful

7:31:40

situation there. Shotsi in your cheeks.

7:31:43

So much damage being done. Mercury is

7:31:45

able to clean up too. And you're taking

7:31:47

rounds. It is for a hope and a prayer.

7:31:48

But that prayer pays off. Esther able to

7:31:50

flip this bomb for his team. But you

7:31:52

trade away so much time. Eject shots

7:31:55

from your cheeks for one second. He

7:31:56

finds a way back in real fast. He's a

7:31:58

terrible pest in that regard.

7:32:01

Gash in this left flank. He that is

7:32:03

locked down. Absolute dominance so far.

7:32:06

Unbelievable recovery. Estreal tries to

7:32:08

make it a little bit weird. Gets the

7:32:09

team the spawns. 5 seconds later it goes

7:32:11

by and optic just have the mini map set

7:32:13

up that you dream of able to spot two

7:32:16

extra players. is going to fall, but the

7:32:17

comm's easy shots. He knows pressure in

7:32:19

the back. Cleans up one, ready for the

7:32:22

second. And he's just meeting everybody

7:32:23

with stun, grenades, kills. Knows he's

7:32:26

back here. This is perfect colossus

7:32:29

gameplay. As soon as the problems

7:32:31

identified, they address it instantly.

7:32:34

Starting to get towards that sort of

7:32:36

flow state territory right now. That 14

7:32:38

to 9 for Shotsy, 11 and seven there for

7:32:40

M. 107 for Dashy. It's starting to get

7:32:43

unwinable. I mean this is complete

7:32:46

control of the base. This is not the

7:32:49

fastest Colossus we have seen from any

7:32:51

team. This is just the best orchestrated

7:32:53

we have seen from any team. 100 point

7:32:56

lead and 124 points to go. So the

7:33:00

Genesis only makes that comeback all the

7:33:02

sweeter if they can start to get it.

7:33:05

Second set

7:33:07

as I do believe that is the same shark

7:33:09

from Hassienda.

7:33:12

Optic in the new time.

7:33:15

Here comes the counter. Perfect pitch.

7:33:17

Merg down. Makes in first time truly

7:33:20

been in any hill since the last P3 and

7:33:23

Op take it away from you 2 seconds

7:33:25

later. Relentless pressure. Nades at

7:33:28

your feet. Stuns at your feet. Hercules

7:33:30

there for the trades and Chanti cleans

7:33:32

up the kill. 16 form early on. Oper just

7:33:37

having a kill race between Shotsi and

7:33:39

Merc.

7:33:40

Signs of life from the general mates yet

7:33:42

again. Three corners found a shotsy. He

7:33:47

is everywhere.

7:33:49

No corner is safe. Everywhere has to be

7:33:51

checked twice.

7:33:53

15 seconds to go. P2 is on the cards.

7:33:57

Hoop down. General makes it with a

7:33:59

position to swap. Score some time. I

7:34:01

mean, they're going to have to start to

7:34:02

turn around here if they have any hope

7:34:04

making this come back. Colossus is very

7:34:06

difficult to chain hills together. Optic

7:34:09

with a lead like this, they can just

7:34:10

play the game differently. But for the

7:34:12

moment on the mini map, looks up fast.

7:34:14

You got the top lane cover and you got

7:34:15

blue under lock and key. Estel safe on

7:34:18

the top.

7:34:19

>> They're absolutely going to try to test

7:34:20

the attempt of hold here for the gentle

7:34:23

makes.

7:34:26

Slow things down. It's going to be a

7:34:27

threeman hit through the front right now

7:34:28

for Optic. Here we go. Parties on. Esto

7:34:31

gets himself one. The dance is good. Go

7:34:33

see there for the reinforcement. S joins

7:34:34

him as well. And so far a perfect hole.

7:34:37

Fantastic teamwork. Estreal doing the

7:34:39

right thing. Get your kill to the

7:34:40

damage. Be the bait for the squad and

7:34:42

let them clean up everybody. It's a 100

7:34:44

point plus gap that they're working for

7:34:47

this deficit. D2's been strong and

7:34:50

they're going to continue to tread.

7:34:51

Estreal with great reads and next kill

7:34:53

is going to be a helltorm for him. He's

7:34:55

fighting for it. There's the assist. It

7:34:56

comes through. Helltorm in the back

7:34:58

pocket for Estreal. New fields on. Call

7:35:00

it in now.

7:35:01

>> Yeah, might as well. Takes forever to

7:35:02

call in. Back yourself in the corner and

7:35:04

see what you can do. going to the open

7:35:05

side hill maybe trusting his teammates

7:35:07

to get these first few kills. The five

7:35:09

sprit continues. You still want a bit of

7:35:10

place to do it. Even if you call it in,

7:35:12

you send them inside. It's no good

7:35:13

unless your boys can get the kills.

7:35:14

That's it. You have all bases covered.

7:35:17

Fingers crossed. And the late fall, I

7:35:18

mean, this is 10 free seconds. You might

7:35:20

want to call that a little bit sooner.

7:35:21

We'll see what he can make happen. Go on

7:35:23

the back line. Well, doesn't even get

7:35:25

the spawns in the long term. Well,

7:35:27

Estreal takes down two. And it looks

7:35:30

like Paris have done it. Left side

7:35:31

spawns now. Just 60 points. Well, still

7:35:34

60. Still 60.

7:35:35

>> Such a long. Still 60, brother.

7:35:38

>> Quite the battle.

7:35:40

>> Slow crawl here from Murk on the right

7:35:41

flank. Hasbi

7:35:43

keeps the lift safe.

7:35:45

>> Beautiful nade over the top. Wow, what a

7:35:46

play, but it's not enough to stop the

7:35:48

break. Come through. Optic are in. Nice

7:35:50

and comfortable. 20 seconds isn't really

7:35:51

scrap time. That is a healthy chunk. You

7:35:53

were able to get no trophies means the

7:35:55

nade damage on point, but Optic, three

7:35:57

players surrounding the hill. They are

7:35:59

playing heavy for the scrap time and

7:36:01

they're absolutely going to get it.

7:36:03

Going to have an 85point lead going into

7:36:06

new onto a quote unquote money hill if

7:36:09

you want to call it that on a P4. Paris

7:36:11

are desperate for it. Optic one breaks

7:36:14

to get in position where they already

7:36:15

contest over the top. He cuts down the

7:36:18

defense immediately now towards the

7:36:20

back.

7:36:21

>> Knows when to go, knows when to stop.

7:36:25

Pause the brakes. Send it forward. The

7:36:27

damage dealt. Here come the trade set. A

7:36:30

shiy down. What a play from ghosty with

7:36:32

a Jagger. Still hook on time and the

7:36:35

tables are flipped. Big one from Ghosti.

7:36:38

Going to block the spawns for a few of

7:36:39

these players out. They're going to

7:36:40

start to spawn out or maybe they spawn

7:36:42

right in the back. The second he falls.

7:36:44

Optics spawn right back in. They're

7:36:46

going to take that time over maintaining

7:36:48

this 80sec lead. This is a gauntlet.

7:36:52

This is a runaway game. Such a tough

7:36:54

run.

7:36:55

Hot coals across the nails. Whatever it

7:36:58

may be, gentle mates, you've got to get

7:36:59

it going

7:37:01

by the hook. It's not theirs, Miles.

7:37:04

They do not have a choice in the matter.

7:37:05

Optic. This is the best Colossus we

7:37:08

might have seen all year. This is huge

7:37:09

workounding these players relentlessly

7:37:14

attacking every single dot they see on

7:37:16

the map. Goi with a big two trying to

7:37:18

make it three as the attack towards our

7:37:20

third set begins now. Nice keep away win

7:37:24

for Dashy. You see the trophy on time

7:37:26

there for Paris. A freebie pick there

7:37:28

for Hercules. And well, get rid of the

7:37:30

trophy. Get back into time. Junk sees

7:37:32

impact down low. Mestro working

7:37:35

together, but Chazi clean up crew. He is

7:37:37

everywhere on this map. We'll check the

7:37:39

result now of the jungle mates. How much

7:37:41

fight have they got in them? S with a

7:37:43

lovely late n. Great damage on as well.

7:37:45

What a hit. Pick up now. Trying to get

7:37:48

towards time. Estreal managing to dodge

7:37:50

that one. only getting the boys out of

7:37:52

time for a second longer

7:37:53

>> flying around man if you're looking at

7:37:56

the kills optic aren't even out slam by

7:37:58

this much this is the most efficient we

7:38:01

have seen shanty calling game

7:38:03

>> that is that

7:38:12

one felt personal 25127

7:38:15

we barely got to see the gentleman's

7:38:17

perspective it was such a spectacle

7:38:20

from AI Texas. That might damn well be

7:38:23

the best Colossus we've seen.

7:38:25

>> That is a statement Matt from AI Texas.

7:38:28

That is efficiency. Halfway through this

7:38:31

game, they were dead even in slaying

7:38:34

with a 100 point lead. They end up out

7:38:36

slaying by nine, but that is a

7:38:39

terrifying sight for the rest of the

7:38:40

league. Colossus might just be off.

7:38:43

>> Yeah, that wasn't just that, you know,

7:38:44

you guys want to win champs. It's one

7:38:46

thing trying to win champs. We are

7:38:47

defending champs right now. That was one

7:38:50

hell of a performance.

7:38:53

Flow state achieved. You go to bed

7:38:55

knowing you did your damn well best

7:38:56

today. Just so spooky. I mean that is

7:38:59

hopeless. Sucks the life right out of

7:39:02

you. And again the scoreboard. Yes, they

7:39:04

do end up out slaying by, you know, at

7:39:06

nine kills I think overall. But that is

7:39:09

extremely comfortable game play. Two

7:39:11

minutes in the hill there from Dashy.

7:39:13

Hercules not too far behind him and

7:39:16

Shanti having a kill race there in the

7:39:18

first half of the map. But quite

7:39:20

literally from the jump I mean the P1

7:39:22

there's no trophies in time. You just go

7:39:24

up 35 seconds to none before the

7:39:26

rotation. That is electric stuff for

7:39:29

Optics.

7:39:30

>> Well, they managed to crack the code

7:39:31

there on Colossus.

7:39:32

>> How how short is this game?

7:39:34

>> It's not not very long. We did get to

7:39:37

see three P1s technically. I mean that

7:39:39

is about as good as it can get. Wow,

7:39:40

that really was a very good game of

7:39:42

Colossus. Kudos to Optic. That's very

7:39:45

slight sign of life. That P4 to P2 there

7:39:47

for the general mates is exactly what

7:39:49

you wanted. And against any other team

7:39:50

at any other time, that might have been

7:39:52

enough to turn the game around. But

7:39:53

these guys just found a way. The way

7:39:55

they played that Colossus, that was a

7:39:56

real teaching moment this late in the

7:39:58

season. That was one of the best maps we

7:40:00

have seen. What a series. What a result

7:40:03

there for Optic. They will now play

7:40:04

phase in the winners finals.

7:40:08

General will go down. It is going to be

7:40:10

a battle against G2 that we will see

7:40:12

tomorrow. What a fantastic tournament so

7:40:15

far. Fun stuff there from Mic doing

7:40:18

things different in the overload.

7:40:20

Finding that special stuff to put you

7:40:22

over the edge and get that win. Lights

7:40:24

out so far in the respawn. And maybe the

7:40:27

SD saving it for the grand finals.

7:40:29

>> Save that one for the grand finals.

7:40:30

Still lots of information to learn from

7:40:32

our players. Tons of secrets to be told.

7:40:34

Who I wonder how many secrets he's got

7:40:36

for his players.

7:40:44

I got him here. Everybody get loud for

7:40:46

Optic Texas.

7:40:49

We'll see them go up against Faze

7:40:51

tomorrow for top three. But as I got

7:40:54

hook with you on the main stage, man,

7:40:56

how does it feel to be back on US soil

7:40:59

after winning Major Four and to be

7:41:02

around the Green Wall fans again as you

7:41:04

guys come out here today to play on a

7:41:06

Friday?

7:41:07

Uh, I actually really uh love this

7:41:10

arena. It's been great so far. Uh, the

7:41:12

green wall has been showing a lot of

7:41:14

love. Uh, but yeah, it's been great.

7:41:16

>> It has been great indeed, man. And when

7:41:18

it comes down to you guys in this series

7:41:20

right here,

7:41:22

>> Gentleman wanted to talk take you guys

7:41:24

down.

7:41:29

>> I support this.

7:41:34

They love you and I think you are MVP

7:41:36

out here. If I could give you my award,

7:41:38

I would. But I want to talk about your

7:41:40

MVP performance in this series because,

7:41:43

you know, after it was 1-1, the

7:41:44

overload, it got kind of scary at the

7:41:47

end. You know, once you start seeing

7:41:48

those caps start to rack up on the board

7:41:50

right there, was it more, okay, let's

7:41:52

just keep playing offense. They're not

7:41:53

going to outscore us because you got

7:41:55

shots, you scoring all these caps, or

7:41:56

did you guys just decide you want to do

7:41:58

some defense right there to close that

7:41:59

out?

7:42:00

I was just uh Yeah. No, it got a little

7:42:03

scary, but no, I was just saying uh just

7:42:05

make sure we keep putting pressure on

7:42:07

them. Uh keep playing our game. That's

7:42:10

all we did basically. Yeah. And

7:42:12

>> that's all it was. Okay.

7:42:14

And everybody loves that. Okay. Cuz you

7:42:16

missed the get it all done. All right.

7:42:18

When it comes down to the fundamentals

7:42:19

of Call of Duty, when it comes down to

7:42:21

getting the dirty work done, all the

7:42:23

Green Wall fans know that they can rely

7:42:26

on you and

7:42:31

Give him his flowers, everybody, cuz you

7:42:34

need him to play his ass off throughout

7:42:36

the whole weekend.

7:42:38

And so now going up against tomorrow,

7:42:41

your your next opponent's winners finals

7:42:44

is Classico. You're going up against

7:42:45

Faze. Talk to me about how does it feel

7:42:47

to be able to play those guys here in

7:42:49

front of this crowd?

7:42:51

>> Uh well, they're a good team. Um so we

7:42:55

got to bring our agame. ready for that

7:42:57

rematch.

7:42:58

>> Uh, definitely. Yeah,

7:43:00

>> definitely.

7:43:00

>> Yeah. Yeah. It's always a good series

7:43:02

versus Lambo.

7:43:03

>> It's Yeah, definitely going to be a

7:43:04

great series. And lastly, I want to get

7:43:06

you up out of here, okay? We still got a

7:43:08

lot of Call of Duty to play here

7:43:09

throughout the weekend. And these fans,

7:43:11

they're ready to turn up and party for

7:43:13

you guys win today as they've been doing

7:43:15

all weekend long. What do you want to

7:43:18

say to the Green Wall fans that made it

7:43:19

into the venue today and everyone that's

7:43:21

at home that's going to be coming in

7:43:23

here tomorrow to make this a soldout

7:43:24

show?

7:43:26

Uh, no. Yeah, I appreciate y'all. Still

7:43:29

uh still a long uh journey headed to

7:43:32

Saturday, but uh definitely looking

7:43:33

forward to the rest of the matches.

7:43:35

>> You heard it from Hook, everybody. They

7:43:38

going to do this one for you guys.

7:43:40

That's going to do it for us on the

7:43:41

stage. Chris, take us away.

7:43:44

>> Saw some awesome cosplay here. Shout out

7:43:46

to everyone who made it out to Vegas. I

7:43:48

got my man Nameless attached and of

7:43:50

course the lady Rosaly up here at the

7:43:52

desk to break down a very swift

7:43:55

Hardpoint game four. I want to start

7:43:57

there with you Nameless. You said you

7:43:59

noticed something throughout this

7:44:00

series. What about the hardpoint

7:44:02

specifically did you witness as we take

7:44:04

a look at the highlights?

7:44:05

>> Yeah, that was about as beautiful as a

7:44:06

Colossus as you're ever going to see. I

7:44:09

mean, you're talking about an optic team

7:44:10

where they look at bad situations as an

7:44:12

opportunity. Barely out slaying and

7:44:14

almost 100 point clubbing them is

7:44:16

insane. slowing down when they need to.

7:44:18

You think back to that P3 where Estrial

7:44:20

streaks, they have control. Well, they

7:44:22

just pounce on him. They know a player

7:44:24

going to be trying to press their

7:44:24

advantage and Optic is constantly

7:44:27

punishing players when they do that. You

7:44:29

could not breathe on this map. Your

7:44:31

general mates anytime they thought they

7:44:32

had something good going, Optic

7:44:33

punishes. Ally, was shot cheating in

7:44:35

this game?

7:44:36

>> I think so, Chris. Actually, I was

7:44:37

standing right behind him. You know, I

7:44:39

saw a couple weird things on his

7:44:40

monitor. I'm just kidding. No, I think

7:44:42

we're just riding that momentum run that

7:44:44

map number three. I mean that was an

7:44:45

absolute opener from Optekus to go up

7:44:47

three the way they did and it did end up

7:44:49

close in the end but then you know you

7:44:51

close it out and you go into this

7:44:52

Colossus and it felt like nobody could

7:44:54

kill Shahook and Shotsi. They were

7:44:56

definitely the better SMG duo today in

7:44:57

this series and I do think it's starting

7:44:59

to be a matchup difference at this

7:45:01

point. I think Optic Texas just in

7:45:02

general is a better team versus Paris

7:45:04

Jungle Mage and that's going to be

7:45:05

something General Mates might have to

7:45:07

face again later on this weekend.

7:45:08

>> The scariest thing about this obvious

7:45:09

team is how perfect you have to be. If

7:45:11

you give them an inch they will take a

7:45:13

mile. There was a moment in that P3

7:45:15

second one the last one of the game that

7:45:16

gentleman had a good setup. Estreal

7:45:18

jumps down, looks for a guy tunnel, gets

7:45:20

shot in the back. They instantly get

7:45:21

broken. They don't even get another

7:45:22

point after that moment. Optic, they're

7:45:24

just so dominant when they're in

7:45:25

control, and you're not getting it back.

7:45:26

>> You know what I think it is? Players

7:45:28

that have an extreme motor, like they

7:45:30

just punish like they know in their

7:45:31

heads like, "Okay, gentle mates think

7:45:32

they have a good situation. Somebody's

7:45:34

going to get aggressive. Is it going to

7:45:35

be Joe? Is it going to be Estreal?

7:45:37

Pounce on that." And as soon as you kill

7:45:38

them, that's our advantage now. So, I

7:45:40

think Optic has just ascended to another

7:45:42

level right now. And Joe Deceives, he

7:45:44

can't beat them. Can Optic keep it going

7:45:46

in a grand final? That is the big

7:45:48

question for me because they are so

7:45:50

clean through the winners bracket. For

7:45:52

now though, we got to take a look at

7:45:54

reasons why they cruise through

7:45:56

brackets. It's your scuff play of the

7:45:58

game. Shotsi coming up big, didn't he?

7:46:00

Attach

7:46:00

>> and this play was beautiful out of

7:46:02

Shotsi because they were in control the

7:46:03

whole game, but it got a little sketchy

7:46:05

towards the end. General Mates could

7:46:06

have tied it up. Who better than Shotti

7:46:09

to play a little ratty off angle spot

7:46:10

that General Mates did not check. Guess

7:46:12

what? He gets a two-piece to save Optic

7:46:14

from going into OT right here and to

7:46:16

close out the overload.

7:46:17

>> And I'm going to be honest, if I'm the

7:46:19

rest of the league right now and you

7:46:20

know going into this Saturday and

7:46:21

Sunday, I'm not playing up to Texas on

7:46:23

Star. Like I with the amount of times

7:46:24

that I saw Hook and Shotsi just causing

7:46:27

ruckus as they do, hitting the flank.

7:46:28

Like the only team that was good at

7:46:30

stopping that was LA. No longer in the

7:46:32

building, no longer even in the

7:46:33

tournament. So, if I'm looking at I'm

7:46:35

looking at this match in this series at

7:46:37

the other teams and I am definitely

7:46:39

trying to take some veto notes away from

7:46:40

them.

7:46:41

>> I'm trying to see what the hell Hoop was

7:46:42

doing about these other teams. I'm like,

7:46:44

we got to figure out a way to slow him

7:46:46

down. He was unbelievably

7:46:49

>> if you wait me too.

7:46:50

>> Gentle maids falling to optic. They were

7:46:53

able to take him down at major one to

7:46:55

raise the trophy. Not the case tonight.

7:46:57

And that means that those guys are going

7:46:59

to be falling down to the elimination

7:47:00

bracket where they will be joining

7:47:02

squads like the Heretics and Koi. That's

7:47:04

where we started the day. And let's

7:47:06

remind you how it finished. Toronto Koi

7:47:09

forcing a game five. They walk away with

7:47:12

a slump SND's victory and attach. You

7:47:17

said you saw some things you liked. Was

7:47:18

it enough from the Heretics?

7:47:20

>> Uh enough for them to win this series. I

7:47:22

don't know about making a run in this

7:47:24

tournament. They have they were pretty

7:47:26

sloppy in that game five even though

7:47:27

they ended up winning it. I just need to

7:47:29

see more consistency in the SND for them

7:47:31

and they don't have much time to repair.

7:47:33

So hopefully they can put some magic

7:47:34

together and make it happen.

7:47:35

>> Yeah, I think that's kind of the

7:47:36

takeaway is like it was a messy series.

7:47:38

It was a gritty series but Miami

7:47:39

Heretics did what they have basically

7:47:41

been trying to do all season long which

7:47:43

is do something on land. And for me that

7:47:46

was it you know the biggest event of the

7:47:47

year. You finally get one under the

7:47:49

hoop. You make it to a Saturday and you

7:47:50

also get great performance out of

7:47:52

medals. You said it for this team. He

7:47:54

can be an X factor if he is playing like

7:47:56

this and being a slayer. It's going to

7:47:58

be very difficult to deal with Miami

7:47:59

Heretics in some of these recent.

7:48:01

>> If Dashy is the oldest player in the

7:48:02

league, I feel like Metals is right

7:48:04

behind to see the OGs pop off. You love

7:48:07

to see it. Speaking of popping off, how

7:48:10

about the boys from Minnesota G2 going

7:48:13

up against your major three champs,

7:48:15

runners up a major four. Well, LAS will

7:48:19

not be playing on a Saturday at Champs

7:48:22

now nameless. Yeah, you know, we

7:48:23

celebrate the praises of G2. Incredible

7:48:25

performance, but I feel like we didn't

7:48:27

talk too much about LA Thieves and what

7:48:29

a blunder this was for them. I mean,

7:48:30

after this season, you know, strap be

7:48:32

some difficult conversations about him.

7:48:34

You know, he's been so good in the

7:48:35

regular season. Will you get to champs?

7:48:37

He just hasn't played well.

7:48:39

>> 63 63. That's what I'm saying.

7:48:41

>> Pretty sure it's the lowest Champs KD

7:48:43

ever is a tweak that I saw on the

7:48:45

timeline. Shout out Brian Stat possibly.

7:48:47

Um, don't completely

7:48:48

>> right there with him from Koi.

7:48:50

>> That's bad. I will say I will say I

7:48:53

think the craziest statistic that we've

7:48:54

seen from all this strapping and hydro

7:48:56

that duo is now 0 and4 at COD champ they

7:48:59

have won a total of I think three majors

7:49:01

in the regular season they have not won

7:49:03

a match at

7:49:04

>> do not blow it up before EW not won a

7:49:06

match but they at least have EWC to

7:49:08

still face it worked out for them they

7:49:10

got a big old paycheck is your player to

7:49:13

watch from G2 speaking of player X he's

7:49:16

on my team tomorrow put him on yours and

7:49:18

this guy I have a feeling he'll be in a

7:49:21

of those top drafted squads. Booza has

7:49:24

been a freak all season. Today he and

7:49:28

Drazza get the job done for the ARs.

7:49:30

>> Oh yeah, you know, early in this year I

7:49:32

had Abuza top AR. He's been

7:49:34

unbelievable, dude. I I think Abuza, you

7:49:36

know, he just relentlessly wants to win

7:49:38

and today we got a great performance out

7:49:40

of S and that's what happens.

7:49:41

>> Was it Luca's fault what happened with

7:49:43

the Falcons? Because yesterday they

7:49:44

pulled off an upset. Today they get beat

7:49:46

3.

7:49:47

>> Uh Luka was still doing his thing.

7:49:48

>> He's doing it. Yeah,

7:49:49

>> I just think the Falcons got a little

7:49:50

bit outclassed phase just as a better

7:49:52

team. They've had more time together.

7:49:53

They've won a championship in this game.

7:49:55

They're looking like a top two team in

7:49:56

the game right now. In my mind right

7:49:58

now, it's either them or Octite who will

7:50:00

take this tournament. But I'm loving

7:50:01

what I've seen so far out of phase. And

7:50:03

S showed up today. The simp we know and

7:50:06

love. If he keeps playing like that,

7:50:07

they can win these rings.

7:50:09

>> Here's a look at your top performers on

7:50:11

the day. Reale, Cremp, S, and Hook. Hook

7:50:14

is going to drop a 136 positive 24.

7:50:18

Remember,

7:50:20

>> this is one of the stars who wasn't on

7:50:22

an allstar team. You got S on the

7:50:24

secondary all-star team. He drops a 129.

7:50:27

I feel like some of our OG SMGs are

7:50:30

trying to make a statement here in

7:50:31

Vegas.

7:50:32

>> Oh, for sure. That was all four on your

7:50:33

screen. But obviously

7:50:40

the response, but they needed him in SND

7:50:41

today and he showed up. Flip side real

7:50:43

big question marks on why he was put

7:50:44

back in this team. I feel like he's

7:50:46

starting to show us why. Ally, before we

7:50:47

go to break, who's Pinterest inspired

7:50:49

today's look?

7:50:50

>> No, nobody's. I just went in my closet.

7:50:52

I was like, "This dress is a little

7:50:53

big." And then I remembered I have this

7:50:54

corset top thing. It's all about the

7:50:56

layering, guys.

7:50:57

>> My wife dressed me today and you should

7:50:59

dress yourselves for an epic Saturday.

7:51:02

Look good and prepare to be here for

7:51:04

five matches. We've got five coming your

7:51:06

way in an epic bracket. Take a look at

7:51:08

this bad boy. Nameless. Why is Saturday

7:51:11

so insane at COD Champs? uh because we

7:51:14

get down to two teams for that grand

7:51:16

final on Sunday. But there's one match

7:51:18

in the losing bracket that I'm looking

7:51:20

down at and that's G2 verse the Gentle

7:51:22

Mates. Envoy with the chance to send his

7:51:24

X team home. It's going to be an insane

7:51:26

matchup and then obviously Optic versus

7:51:28

Faze. Who doesn't want to see that?

7:51:30

>> Classico.

7:51:32

>> I will say go ahead.

7:51:33

>> There is maybe a little bit of bad blood

7:51:35

in the General Mace vers G2 series.

7:51:37

Estra used to be on G2. Some old

7:51:39

teammate beef. Who knows who's going to

7:51:41

come out on top of this one, but I feel

7:51:42

like Optic and FaZe, even if they lose

7:51:44

tomorrow, whoever loses that, they're

7:51:45

still feeling really good to make it

7:51:47

back into the grand finals.

7:51:48

>> Low key, they're looking at the rest of

7:51:49

the teams left in the tournament right

7:51:51

now, and they're like, man, just get us

7:51:53

to that grand final.

7:51:54

>> And we've got an awesome opportunity for

7:51:56

everyone watching at home. Get your beta

7:51:58

code as part of our Beta Code Sweep

7:52:00

Stakes on Championship Sunday. That's

7:52:02

right. We are going to be seeing some

7:52:04

peak viewership. If I have a feeling

7:52:06

starting July 19th, 300 p.m. Pacific,

7:52:09

it's over on twitch.tv. Call of

7:52:12

Duty_ports.

7:52:14

Thank you all for tuning in to an epic

7:52:16

Saturday. We started off with two game

7:52:17

fives. We had a 3 0 and a 31 phase

7:52:20

versus Optic. Big dogs fighting for

7:52:23

their lives. It's all going down. Day

7:52:25

three from Vegas in the Nickelode Ultra

7:52:27

Arena. See you then.

7:52:41

I'm legendary.

7:52:48

I'm legendary.

7:53:11

Yeah.

7:53:13

>> I was born with the story. I was born

7:53:15

for the glory. Through the heat and the

7:53:17

rain. Can't ignore me. I'm commitment.

7:53:21

Signed up for a mission. Yeah. Come with

7:53:23

the price. It's all in the description.

7:53:26

My arrived. I can't hesitate. Nothing is

7:53:30

in my way. Knocking down barricades on a

7:53:33

different time

7:53:36

from the jump. I'm the person that can

7:53:38

never break. I ain't got

7:53:55

no

7:54:01

way.

7:54:06

Just you see

7:54:24

I got the power. I've been working after

7:54:27

hours.

7:54:28

The moment I came back

7:54:35

down

7:54:39

I think I can't watch it in 2020

7:54:44

when I fell off

7:54:46

again.

7:54:50

Let's go. Come on, man.

7:55:14

Come on.

7:55:23

Come on, boys. Baby

7:55:27

baby. Come on.

7:55:31

>> G2. One wave and you win map one.

7:55:33

>> Oh, no. We spawn

7:55:36

game.

7:55:36

>> Wait, that was an insane win.

7:55:38

>> Wait, wait.

7:55:43

>> That's what I'ming talking about, bro.

7:55:46

Holy.

7:55:47

>> There's no waiter coming back after

7:55:49

that.

7:55:53

>> He had no business winning that fight.

7:55:54

Zero.

7:55:56

>> Yep. There it is. The blow over the

7:55:58

second as well. He got

7:56:04

it to

7:56:07

completed the reverse.

7:56:11

>> Oh my goodness.

7:56:14

He just got reverse swept out the

7:56:16

turning.

7:56:36

They got me cornered. I'm feeling

7:56:38

trapped. Where can I go when I'm feeling

7:56:41

like that?

7:56:42

to the left or to the right man. I need

7:56:46

some luck like a dice game 71 but 247

7:56:51

there's plenty more coming and plenty

7:56:53

weapons got my head on the swivel

7:56:55

wherever I'm stepping and civil

7:56:59

protection

7:57:01

consequences and repercussions

7:57:03

when you violating disruptive they'll
