Gentlemen it's time. It's time. I'm not put to the hot seat today course dazzling world is tea bates
But we got some special guests with us today life is cool from the first broadcast. Thank you for joining us. Thank you
Thank you
Much love and a man who needs no introduction, but we'll give him one anyway Jack
We're gonna find out what I bring to the table I don't know what's gonna happen today.
No, I know what you can't say that.
All the time you come up first touch with your little...
Not everything.
They're gonna knock it.
There's a whole lot of information that the brain is massive.
Don't tell me that U of A education isn't worth anything.
It's worth something.
Good.
We'll find out.
Education Bates.
What about that LSU education?
I think I can show you my degree you know where I went after that.
Let him know I don't need to flex people here on this day base got the brain up in here. Even though I'm losing the prediction to the
It's time to talk about this world championship, of course dates this how we're doing how we're doing
I mean, it was a crazy day yesterday, but I mean, you know, I'm looking at the fifth thing
Yeah, we got kind of got something going on today. You know, you want to talk about a little bit?
I mean, we got a little summer coming on
You know, we got big match, FT versus Chalcas later on in the day, third match of the day.
I got a couple fans behind me.
I was kind of asking them, some of them got us losing and Chalcas is that much better.
So we'll have to find out later.
We'll get Jack's pick.
We'll get Life is Cool's pick later on.
And we'll also pull the crowd just once again.
See what, see where they're at.
But we got a little something for y'all coming up.
But then right now, we got to talk about the world championship, man.
Specifically, one specific team or two, honestly in my mind.
We got to talk about the reigning world champions who will not be able to defend their crown.
And also we got to talk about your team, your squad, who didn't play that well at all.
Listen, we'll get there. We'll get there eventually. If you missed it, let's just take a look at the
Swiss here because matches yesterday were hectic all the way through. Of course, the Swiss stage
has concluded. And of course, a lot of people are talking about the teams that are eliminated.
No OG, no Gen G, no Vitality. Those are the big ones here. And of course,
you can see it, that oxygen Vitality match. We're going to be talking about that a little
a little bit later. Jack, initial thoughts on the Swiss from your eyes.
Absolutely shocking, especially from your boys, Das, especially from your boys.
Well, honestly, and vitality, I mean, I don't remember the last time we had
a world champion not make top eight. I don't know off the top of my head,
like in the next year, but for vitality, I feel like
the expectation, you know, they didn't have the same season that they had
last season, but for them to not make top eight. I mean, you got your boys
back there. There's no reason they should be not make a top eight. Yeah, no reason they
shouldn't be making a top eight. I mean, what was going on in the French Bar, the broadcast
was in number one out. I mean, of course, we got sad, like, but I think it's not like
the saddest thing for us. I mean, you guys talked about OG being a surprise not being
top eight. That's normal for us. The fact that they went out where they did. I mean,
They did like 1-3 in Coppenhagen too, so I'm not that surprised.
Genji, yeah, is a surprise for sure.
The only thing that saddens us is that Vata actually lost, but they deserved to lose on the round 5.
Kind of seeing the gameplay and stuff, so it happens.
It does happen, but happening at this stage of the game, especially with the team that was Vitality,
was I think I think definitely shocking most people expecting them to just you know do quick bit work there against oxygen and then move on but
I mean it came to play they definitely came to play believe me be talking about that a little bit later
But I mean going through you know just kind of a round-by-round basis even with the og kind of going out
You can definitely tell the og. Yeah, oh, okay because they still even in I'll talk to comms dad
He was actually very happy with the fact of like the cheers from this proud because they did give him a lot of love and you
I think for calm, especially, you know, he's been more of a villain that we've seen when
he was on V1 and especially when he was playing over in London.
But then now being at home, you know, they had never gotten to experience that.
I think the crowd has definitely been a bit of a factor.
I think they'll definitely be more of a factor today as more people will be here
on Saturday.
But it just kind of goes to show the stage presence how you can have these consistent
performance is online if you're Gen G or if you're a vitality but when it comes
down to playing on that stage role it's just it's different. It's 100%
different the atmosphere is everything the energy that the crowd provides for
you when you're on that stage is everything and you definitely as a
player hear the crowd like it's a crazy impact when you're on that stage
so players you tend to get nervous or they either feed into that crowd in
that energy and they they provide more excitement for that player and the
player tends to pop off a lot more. You see that with Fiverr on power.
Alright man. You've been dodging. You keep talking about OG and the crowd got a lot of OG.
OG, but you gotta talk about Gen G now. That's what the people want here. Gen G, Mubu-Wa-Wa-Racin!
All that has to be getting up this season. You said Gen G's gonna do better than G2.
And right now I'm looking and the crowd's looking and there's an MPB off of Gen G.
I can't find them. They know where to be found. Am I at the moment? Am I at
What happened to your squad can't help you here, bro?
You're alone. I can't help myself here. Listen, I said it at the beginning of the series
I had a front row seat to that L and what did I say at the start? No excuses Jack
I told you before I even got on it. I was gonna say you were looking right at me when he said I did I did look
I looked at right across from him and
That that is just the case here at this stage of the game
They're all great players individually. You expect so much from them, but they just were flat
They were empty you could tell they didn't trust each other and
What a team like pioneers who had a lot of momentum born from their earlier matches
I mean it if you come out flat against that you're gonna lose every time. Okay, so
Here's I need to hear from you is one baits never wrong
Wait, why because Gt was better than Gen G and he said Gen G is gonna be better. Go ahead
Bates never wrong. Bates never wrong.
He just need to one out you.
Bates never wrong. Bates never wrong.
Bates never wrong. Bates never wrong.
Bates never wrong. That's what they want you to say.
Come on now.
Don't do it.
Bates never wrong.
I'd like to hear it baby.
Jinjin, they did end up bowing now.
I just want to hear him say it. I'm sorry folks.
And I think the crowd going to as well. You gotta stay listen.
I didn't let them break you.
You gotta be broken a little bit.
the team. I mean, we went out and we lost the pioneers.
Did they make a roster change?
Yes.
Oh, that was for who?
For who?
Of course.
They might just blow it up.
It might have to be, because it's just, you can tell,
it's just a lack of trust.
I don't really know if, and I definitely
couldn't give you a name.
You know that.
I couldn't give you a name.
But I do think that right now we see this iteration.
We saw them with different coaches.
It just hasn't worked out.
There needs to be some kind of change here.
I don't know exactly player for player.
There's been a, you know, people always have their,
oh, should be this guy, oh, should be this guy.
But there definitely needs to be a change here.
Oh, no, why are we rolling the highlights?
Stop.
Well, yeah, guys, Pioneer's a woman.
No, no, no, no, no, man, it's top of the corner.
So you don't, do you think Genji needs to make a change?
Of course, like every year,
every team expects for the world champions to change.
So it's like something you have to do.
Okay, Jack, what you think?
Yeah, you make a change.
For who?
Oh, go in!
Why make me ask this question?
Uh, I don't know.
I actually kind of agree with that,
as you might be to blow it up.
I feel like there's gonna be a lot of opportunity
on the off-season to pick up a bunch of other players.
So whatever works for players,
I think is what they should go with.
No!
This roster did not get the job done.
Are you okay, man?
No, no!
I'm in flashbacks!
Flashbacks, it just happened.
I don't even know why you're looking at the screen.
It was a boy for me.
That's right.
Just close your eyes.
Yeah.
I don't know it like he's like, all right,
you're right, can't look at this game.
Make a change, Roy?
Yes, I know.
You make a change.
You have to at this point.
There's no excuse for going out this early
at Vera Squad like Denji.
You were number two the entire season in North America.
And now you got guys looking booboo over here
in the middle of our table.
So you got to make a change.
Maybe OC is just better.
Oh, no, you didn't answer the question.
Stop talking.
Oh, yeah, they make a change.
OK, for who?
Listen, man, if it was me, here's what I'm doing.
I think you go, and you go grab that boy LJ.
Go get that boy LJ, put him with Abjack.
Okay.
And then at that point,
you got to make a decision between FK and Krone.
FK or Krone, who you want to do?
FK's got the skill,
then Krone's got the experience of the major winner.
I think you can't go wrong out of the way,
but you got to go grab LJ from SSG.
If you can't do that,
then listen, you just build around Abjack.
That's what I would do.
That's what I would do if I'm Genji.
What if LJ doesn't want to go?
Then you build around abjack and then at that point
Yeah, count your lucky stars and hope that somebody wants to go and then you got to start off for people
$25,000 a month and come play a Gen. G mobile one game of racing
The max contract plus that and they give me an incentive as well give my $200,000 signing bonus
Numbers are you here? I'm on retiring
They make a money run out. That's all I'm saying
All right. All right. Listen, I said I said a message man. I'm sorry. You want me hold your hand?
I
Need it that yeah, I know you did. I know you did
We talk about my child, you know, let's talk about my talent
Highlights with this vitality, please. I need someone to share to pay with me
Talk to me
How did you feel watching that in real time? I mean we kind of expected it seeing like the the space station vitality series
to be to be honest like seeing resentful reaction after so the loser against
expectation so yeah we kind of expected that seeing it's happening is like
devastating so you think I mean again two game five losses is pretty tough but
you thought like mentally they just weren't ready for this oxygen team going
in is that yeah exactly exactly that's interesting I feel like we've seen
Zinn in a lot of moments over the course of his career but we've never seen him
specifically at kind of like a low point. It's always been him trying to rally as much
as possible. But this is kind of new to us. And you might have a point there. This might
be one of the first times that pressure gets to you, especially when you are a world champion
trying to defend your title.
And then I still lost the game. That's crazy. You can't lose the game all that Archie
by the way, which is ball now Archie might have had that series of all time.
I want to see it.
We have that same.
Oh, that's right here.
Demo update right there.
Look at that.
Demo update.
I mean, there's no gear.
I mean, I'm just assuming that the demo update assistant.
Maybe one guy anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's just something like that.
But speaking of vitality, I mean, you saw Zen, first time I believe Zen hasn't
finished and at least the top eight his whole entire career.
He's only had a career for a year.
Yeah.
He's already made a lot of money.
Just made it here.
I bet he's already world champion.
He's all right.
He's pretty decent.
You know talking I mean you know way better than we do you think vitality makes us makes a roster swap or they stay with the same boys
Like I said for Genji like every team except
Except sorry the world champion chains
So I'm like I'm not sure if it's gonna happen. Yeah, but like 90% sure 90% sure 90% sure that sounds pretty good
I was not out 10 hours. Listen, I go into the casino go to black. Yeah, I had nine ten hours
No, that's not what I'm saying. No, that's pretty good. That's pretty certain.
So, if they had to make it...
Oh, yeah, you want me to go there?
I mean, what I can give you...
Okay, give me something.
Oh, give me something.
Is like the image of Zen and Alpha is really good in Vitality, like in people's hearts.
Okay.
Rathazin's not.
Oh.
I love the Rattle Bounce.
On the pitch, I feel like Radosin was the best player in this world, so like this kind
of undeserved thing going on where I think if one player is going to get out, it's going
to be Radosin, even though he doesn't deserve this, okay?
That's interesting.
That's a crowd thing.
That's a crowd.
Crowd?
Does Vitality make a change?
You all think Vitality?
Yeah!
Wait, what are you saying?
He said everybody but Zen. He wants them to blow it up.
That can happen actually.
He said it can happen. It's impossible.
It can happen. Yeah.
Okay, if they get rid of everybody, but Zen, who would he go against?
It depends so much on what's going to happen between like Carmen Cobb,
Gentlemates, and other French teams.
Okay. All right, all right, all right.
All right, we'll see Zen back on the wall stays.
Jack, you got anything to say about Zen and the boys?
They pick up non-fresh players?
No, there's no way. There's no way.
I mean there's a few maybe like I'm just going to say names that in my mind can get to a team like Vatality, Rise of course,
Oskie I think can do it. Maybe Joyo. After this yeah it's kind of more difficult.
Stocks are a little bit higher with the Joyo Archie right now after that last year.
Yeah just a little bit. Just a little bit. You beat the French teams they get all the risk.
You get put on the map.
You get put on the map.
Oh gosh, well that I mean well we'll have to see of course matchups are still going on this tournament is still going on
And speaking of which even today you even see it on that countdown there were calming corp versus furia as that's going to be one of our
Initial opening matches of the day. It's gonna be a tiebreaker match to decide who's gonna move forward in this event take and take it on
I believe
Based on seating you're probably gonna run into a g2
You know, well, if you lose, you play BDS, but if you move forward, then it's a play against like G2.
No, no, no, sorry. It's Falcons. If you win, come and come for the against Falcons.
So there it is there. You can see that on the bracket still trying to fill out those final teams.
But of course, let's kind of dive into that match up a little bit.
Fury versus the blue wall. We already got a taste of it earlier in the Swiss stage, Jack.
What are you expecting when we get on the field today?
tight tight series we've seen these guys play like six five six times over the
years so I feel like for fear yeah they come out and they sucker punch every
single team like right off the bat I feel like they're the fastest team in that
first minute minute and a half they build a lead and then they hold that
lead and then the game two is when that series starts the other team I
think K-corp's not gonna be that type of team they typically do play up or
down to who they play in whether it's in Europe or on land. But we've seen this
matchup multiple times and it's gone back. So it's a tough one to call.
It's a tough one to call he says. What do you think, Raul? I think this this series
definitely comes down to Drafino. I think he's been the shakiest player on
Feria and if you can get it going I think lost. I know we have Yan as the
runner-up for MVP if Feria makes it that far but I in my opinion I think
lost has been the MVP the most valuable player on feria so far in this tournament so uh yeah it's
all up to jrfeno for feria i think it's going to be closed and i think feria can take it if
jrfeno is on point so you're going feria i'm going feria and jack you're going feria not going to
guess my gopacira you're going vati i got vati oh i'm on blue wall okay where you going i'm
on blue wall why because i feel like they're just a much more complete package and i know that
they've already played feria one time they know how feria are gonna come out with the start
And they're going to be prepared for it.
I feel like their game planning is going
to be much better in this situation.
They're used to the pressure.
They're used to the stage.
I got to go blue wall here.
You know the last time Yann played Vati and Ryze on stage,
the iconic movement happened in this arena.
Remember that?
Yeah, I did.
And I remember what happened when
they played them in the Swiss stage.
It's not going to happen again.
No?
No.
No.
They're coming out with weapons.
OK.
Coming out with weapons, they say.
We got any Feria fans in the crowd?
I don't know.
Not many.
All right.
All right.
Now we're going to go.
I already know who you're picking.
Man, it's like I'm looking at me, but French version.
I mean, like...
What the...
I mean, the comment copy's gonna win this, for sure.
Comment copy's gonna win it?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's like the most...
inter-regushing point of the whole day for me.
Yup.
Because like, Furiya can do anything.
Comment copy's kind of building confidence now.
Yup.
It's not the it, but it's like building.
So I think it's like the most back-and-forth series we are going to have the whole day.
But yeah, coming close is going to win it.
Coming close is going to win it.
I asked this yesterday, so I just want to ask again.
Because yesterday I feel like it was just a fluke.
So are there any blue wall fans in the crowd?
They had no noise.
Let's go there.
It was bad.
It was bad.
Give me Carmine Corp.
Carmine Corp wins this, I think at five.
I think Ryzen, Vati and Atomina.
They come back.
I think that matchup with Feria in the Swiss, they're going to learn from that.
that especially when you got coach fair in the background I'm gonna be game
planning I do think that is Ferrius squad they have a really good chance of
winning some coin flip matchup I'm going Carmine I'm comfortable with Alan
right there and I don't think I don't know who the crowds go you're gonna
predict Carmine yeah are you battling the coin it's over it's over I'm sorry
man the coins are good Carmine too though no the coin going Feria and
that's where you lose to the coin I didn't know where the coins are to go
because I got I got he knows the point these are our top rates you're losing the
chat oh my god you're losing the chat they throw that graphic up but I can't
see anything anyways I'm blinded so I don't know what y'all are looking at
bro's got the world's rose color glasses on that I bet if base wasn't first
you'd be able to see it right he really he said all I know is greatness is at
the place that's all I know and wait I know you're not talking because don't
You're already out, buddy, so I have more points to you. That's all that matters. Congratulations. I won the prediction contract. Do you talk to the coin like this, too?
That's that's why I know do you like sitting in the room at night? Just look at the coin like they're not better than me
I'm the better one. Is that is that is that how that's going? I
Know you don't got to a shadow because they they've been smoking you today. So
It's speechless. Maybe we should move on. Let's move on. Let's talk about another matchup today
Of course the tie-breakers are gonna be best of fives, but we do have best of seven starting today
I think I believe it's gonna be starting at the lower bracket with oxygen versus gentle mates
And what are we gonna expect there? I mean oxygen a bit hot they've already taken down one French team life is cool
Do you think they take down another?
There's a weird thing going on with like my predictions on gentle mates every time I predict gentle mates winning
They lose and the other way around I remember that yeah, of course oxygen is gonna win this like
After the match against power squeezy gave me like 20 bucks
20 bucks squeezy
Squeezy
to see you off. Yeah, he gave me 20 bucks. Yeah, give me the money too. I mean, did you
pay exact for power to win? I guess drillmates. Yeah, I think I did. I need to get the OCE
top. It was about time. And I tell you what happened. It didn't. So this is why you're
low on the ranking, man. Come on. You're gonna have a little bit of fun. Yeah, it's
You might be having too much fun.
Listen, sometimes you just want to have a little storyline.
A crowd with love and OCE.
I knew they were going to be, I knew pioneers
weren't going to be able to get SSG.
So if my concept of my plan.
Do it for the show.
I'll do it for the win.
You'll do it for the win?
Yeah.
Exactly.
And that's why I'm in last and everybody else is in first.
Oh, god.
So good.
Gentleman talks you in the back.
What you thinking?
I mean, it's definitely going to be a close one.
Oxygen performed phenomenally well, especially defensively,
which I feel like you are going to need that a little bit
against Gentleman.
general mason's a team that is really good at making players a lot very uncomfortable playing an uncomfortable pace of rocket league
I talked to g2 that's what sathy would said, but their players were definitely used to that because again what they're experiencing the Copenhagen major
So they were more prepared for the matchup. I don't know if oxygen necessarily will be but again
We saw an oxygen we're able to do against vitality if they can come out with a similar kind of game plan to style
It'll be close if I had to predict it though. I probably would go with mates. I
Don't have to worry about getting blocked though. Yeah
And I'm not asking here you can you can say the truth the truth
It's how you go away. I'll go first or you want me to go first. Go ahead
I'm going with Joyo baby all day every day Joyo Archie and Oscar
This is beautiful you see what they're doing already and gentle mace listen you're a land champion. That's great
But oxygen they're on a path they're on a path to take out every single European team
So then when G2 doesn't play a single European team
Oh, they played general makes one time when the only play gentle mates the only time in a Swiss
They don't play my bracket
I can listen to the rocket baguette and life is cool say but you know me
I'm G2 have Mickey bracket. It won't care. I just got take out every single European team
Which means they got to take out gentle mates right here
And what aren't you playing that great on the defensive back line when you got a ski coming off
The silly in the hitting you with the one two to the Lou and you got the joy of hitting you with the hmm
That's not much you can do that's not much you can do be honest. He's starting to convince me. Give me oxygen. No, you stay over there
You're over there. What you got what you got Correlli
I'm looking at the results. I'm seeing losses to G2 BDS from gentle mates. I'm seeing
Oxygen losing to BDS K Corp. That's pretty good company for both teams. So I feel like this is the first major we've seen from
I think we're talking about
gentle mates, but.
Gentle mates that they haven't
just like steamrolled everyone.
You know, they've been putting
up crazy amounts of points in
every single one of their games.
The last couple lands, obviously
in London, they just thrashed
everyone.
So it's a little bit different.
I think we're talking about
gentle mates, but.
I'm still going with
gentle mates.
I'm sorry.
Don't hurt me.
I'm staying with gentlemen
for now.
I don't disagree with what
you said about oxygen, but I
feel like gentlemen is the
team that they get that
All right, man, well, gentlemen, they've been looking like they're on a little bit of a decline.
I can't lie.
You got a touchy who's not looking like a top five player in the game that I predicted
he would be a seiko actually looking like an MVP running Seiko, Seiko's a dog, but he
definitely needs his other two teammates to step up.
And on the other side, you got oxygen actually peeking out of their minds right now.
And they're all in sync Archie look, he was a liability there regularly yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yesterday, yesterday, but Archie's going crazy, Joyo's going crazy,
Austin's going crazy, I got Austin.
That's what we like to hear, baby.
That's a good pick, bro.
That's a good pick.
DeMazos, how much time we got left?
We got about four minutes or so before we get ready to kick this day off.
Yes, sir.
Of course, let's take a look at the bracket here, because one of the things that we
do want to talk about is Sunday will be Championship Sunday, we will crown a New
World Champion.
based on the brackets so far. I mean, Ro, I want to start with you with this one. Grand
final, dream grand final. What would it be based off this? It's Falcon's G2. I don't
think there could be any other matchup that would be as hype as Falcon's G2. I'm sorry.
They're the top two teams here. I'm sorry, Light. They're the top two teams here.
And I want to see G2 Falcon's. What about you, Light, for school? I got Falcons for
sure like they are playing for me the best rocket league like in there but yeah
let's get a little bit of French is here like a gentleman's will be fine
a gentleman's will be fine the grand final for me give me G2 saying they go
hey give me G2 against anybody G2 against the world I'm still taking
them in for Daniel beast mode of time and they could play anybody it doesn't
matter for is disrespectful. It's got to be a full-on domination on the world stage.
Okay okay I like that I like that. Now I'm looking at this bracket but it's
missing something and I believe that something that's something that's
happening today. We need to talk about, we got to talk about in my opinion the
match of the day. First touch versus talk cast.
You know what we bring to the table, baby?
Who are you picking in the first touch versus short cast?
Let me know.
Can I ask a few questions?
Go ahead, ask a question.
Ask some questions.
What is your rank?
GC2 in 3s or 2s?
2s.
How many hours past 2?
Maybe like 40.
Bates?
I messed it up, baby.
You know where I'm at.
OK.
Raul, you still play the game?
Yeah.
2-9.
2-1-1.
Wait a minute, well, I warmed up for this.
Wait, wait, what does that mean?
I put in a lot of time right before I got on the game.
Grills count the game as soon as the match was announced.
I was like, okay, it's time to get back on the Stoogs.
Listen, you know what?
I used to do a zero, not win.
That's what I'm thinking.
I remember LSU in the finals and not in the finals.
Pick a pick.
Honestly, I was playing with CJ, CJ earlier.
What do you say?
Who do you pick?
You still got it.
You go.
You want to talk?
I'm going to talk.
I'm going to talk.
I've seen the OCD, phenom, CJ, CJ, and action.
You're going to talk the course, right?
I got just one question, do you think you're better than Rizzo?
Put that question...
That wink?
Nah, that's a lie.
That's a lie man.
How do we get two people on the desk that's going through the glasses I saw you?
What do we do?
We're failing here.
You going to show up too?
Yeah, I'm going to show up too.
Oh my god!
Man, come on, come on!
Wait, crowd, are y'all going to show up?
And that's where we want to hear baby.
That's the bias you have.
That's the bias.
Is that the bias we have?
listen there's a lot of rocket league action going on today and it's about to
be a beautiful day in Fort Worth let's get it going. When you think about
Fort Worth what comes to mind? This city's got a long and diverse history so
it could be many things. Maybe you think about cattle. Since the time of the
Civil War this place has been known as Cow Town the last pocket of
civilization for cowboys before heading into the wilderness between here and
Kansas. When the railroad came in 1876 the stock yards followed shortly
and Fort Worth became a major center of the cattle trade for the better part of
the century. Maybe you think about sports. Texas loves its racing, yes, but
Fort Worth is world famous for its rodeo. It's the state sport that's been
happening here in Fort Worth since 1896. The Cowtown policy built 908 was the first
place ever to hook an indoor rodeo anywhere in the United States. How about
Fort Worth being a place of many names? Cowtown, Panther City, the place
where the West begins. Monarchers earned through tales as tall as the hats we wear
and legends as lively as push-casting and stuff. How can you not think of President
Kennedy who when stood here November 22nd 1963 said there are no faint hearts
forward. Well for me when I think about forward something else comes to mind.
Yes it's where the West began but for me it's where rock and beat began. I grew
up in Caltown. I lived here for 20 years and that is where I did my first cast. So you can imagine
my pride when the first championship of the open era came to the town I call home. Remember the
million years that I think that the thing I left Fort Worth for, the world of Rockley,
will find a home right here on my little shore. And so here we are, welcoming our
cherished game back to this special town.
I guess you could say, when it comes to Rock League,
it's even Fort Worth's first rodeo.
As ever, thank you Fort Worth for your hospitality.
Hope it won't make it short.
I suppose there's only one thing left to say.
Welcome to Rock League World, y'all.
Championship is our celebration,
not just of our great sport, but of the people
who make it great from our crew in front of and behind the cameras to the teams to, of course,
all of you both here in Dickies Arena and watching all around the world.
Championship Sunday sits on the horizon and with the stakes getting higher and higher,
we welcome you back to the Rocket League World Championship.
Team Chips for 2024, welcome back.
We're sending some teams home.
more sense of teams through to the bracket where to be left with six teams by the end
of the day. Gibbs. I got Gibbs. I got James. I got Stumpy here. Maybe the tallest desk
we've had in a long time. You don't well. You say that, but I actually had to grab
a smaller box than give. I mean, I'm with wave all the time. Come on. Me and Bates
are struggling out here. So luckily he's not here right now, but now I'm the short
one. So yeah, sorry, man. I'm on like five boxes to keep up the show. I am.
Exactly it's all smoking mirrors, baby. It's the way anyone in season two when people like met the Europeans met me and carpet for the first
time everyone thought carpet was taller than I
Five ten or something like that was the beard. He's a beard and the little Spartan like he's just he's such a big person
But yeah, the height difference is funny. Anyways, folks. We've got many rock league teams here competing still for the title of world champion
We had 16 at the beginning of yesterday today
We now only have a many have fallen many regions have made their full exit a pack as I say
Oce have all departed North America here James only left with two champions
Yes, and you know a little bit of a surprise on that number two team everybody thought that that it was going to be gen
G and it was mind-blowing that the pioneers knocked them out
I cannot understate how big of an upset that was there. It was crazy
But the space station, they looked to be informed,
LJ's hit some worldies.
So it's good to see them here.
And then another crazy result was obviously vitality.
The reigning world champions gone to oxygen of all teams.
The team that's not even supposed to be here,
they were 0 and 5 versus vitality the past two years.
But the one that matters most, they got the job done.
Yeah, and I spoke to Oxygen with Oskie,
and in particular, when this all announced,
I said, look, counter worlds do some damage.
And he said, that's precisely what we're here to do.
and they've all ridden and knocked out Vitality.
But you know, look, the teams that we have put going through are just phenomenal.
Why is Gibbs here?
I thought he got arrested for contravening international ease.
It's like, no, no, no.
This is why the script is all messed up.
You know, he's got the ankle tag on, it's okay.
I was hoping that after Gibbs got arrested,
maybe Power would finally be able to make it out of this quiz.
No, that even stumpy, you know.
He flipped the coin, it said no, Torsos wasn't allowed to look.
It's okay.
I'm putting the strings now, baby,
and that's why we've got such a great championship weekend.
The team that made it out of the round of four of the Swiss
have to play tiebreaker matches against each other
to see who gets two lives in our playoff bracket
and who only has one.
Two of these teams, one that coming out of that round,
one match up by their Karmie Corrafuria,
will be the third seed and they'll have two lives.
And then the winner of the loser of that match
versus BDS, who will have two lives,
the loser though will be on their last life,
the world championship.
And BDS, small disadvantage here,
obviously not getting two chances at it,
but a pretty big advantage whoever loses this first match
has to play again right after.
So they're not going to have any momentum going into that match.
I think playing back to back is one of the things that, you know, it can do you well.
But realistically, as you say, you're only going through in the four and the three.
You see, if you don't sit there in those elimination final matches,
they then go through to those semis and they switch over for the prelim finals.
And from there, a single life to decide from our top four to our grand finalists.
And for anyone who doesn't, who's confused with what they're looking at here,
this is basically a double elimination bracket.
It's just drawn a little bit more symmetrically and truncated.
So the lower bracket is on the outsides, excuse me, on the insides, the upper bracket is on the outsides.
So the outside matches there, G2 and the Falcons, they have two lives and the winners of three and four will have two lives.
The middle matches were still waiting to see who Space Station will play.
Oxygen vs. Gentlemates already on that one life side of the bracket.
Everybody though here, James, playing for the prize pool, $300,000 for the team that holds the trophy.
The money is huge.
I mean, this is the biggest rock league tournament in the world.
And the money is amazing.
It does make a huge difference, but then you have to even look at it in the scope of the big picture
You get the money you get the trophy you get the in-game title and you get that banner on
Champions field and you get to be remembered forever in the halls of Rocket League's fame
So, you know, there's so much on the line so much money, but the pride is at stake
Oh, yeah, that's what I was gonna mention too. I think a lot of these players go like yeah
It's great money. It's obviously brilliant. We're here you get to stand in the middle of the stage
You get to lift that trophy when everyone else around you has fallen
It must be just at that number one moment in your life
And today's players might have to do it for the second time announce yourself as world champions
We will be crowning new world champions though this season this weekend is gonna be amazing stuff now gives yesterday
One of the best days of the world championship for ugly gameplay. We've never seen one of the best for upsets as well
How do you make a top five out of this? I don't know. That was the bottom 11 teams
She doesn't have the top five but here we go. We got the top five
We're going to start off with some history with the SSA region.
Liminates getting their first world championship game
win proper.
And it happened at 0 on the clock to dive
or put it on in game number two versus pioneers.
They did fall, but the crowd popped off.
And they will remember that forever.
Now let's move on to Zen, one of the best players
in the world.
Normally with his mechanics here,
it's all about his brain.
The slow play on OG to get that pass out to Alpha.
JNM's can't do anything.
Com can't do anything now Lee too late alpha you almost missed that could have been a not top five
But instead it makes our top plays next up number three. We're gonna stay with vitality. They had a great day
They felt just a little bit short. We're gonna go to rato here going for the dunk play go
Never the air dribble bump and so he gets a little flipped
But he still makes the dunk on Jane apps anyway
He had another dunk in the same game as well rato was on fire great dunk there
But then I'm a goalie wave and we're gonna bring up some defense now coming out number two ready to go back to Rato zero
One of the best games we've ever seen in Rock League Rato
Huge save to keep it tied at that moment, but number one you have to talk about joyo here Zen double tap
No, but joyo zero boost somehow keeps this fall out
Oskie great save as well to avoid the bump but joy of zero boost and send of all players
Somehow keeps that ball out
Absolutely insane by oxygen their defense was unmatched and they pull off the giant upset
I don't hear any of my ranked teammates complaining about that
You can do that's what I always say it was crazy didn't just stop that first touch
But she had to stop the second clutch to pick that up.
And also if you see on that replay,
he didn't jump right away on zero boost
because he knew Zen was going to go for the foot where he said
double.
If he jumped early, he probably would have lost that 50.
You've also got to make sure that he was using,
like I mean, no boost.
He has to air roll into the ball to lean forward,
to muscle the ball away.
So many micro movements to keep that.
An incredible save.
You kind of wish that certain saves were worth more points
than others, or more goals than others.
But they're not.
They're all worth the exact same.
The players are trying to get as many as they can
because there are player accolades presented by Progressive
coming up after the show.
After we hoist the trophy, after we elect the MVP
of the World Championship, we will also
be giving out some player accolades here
for the player that had the highest goals per game,
assists per game, and saves per game.
We can show you who's leading in those stats right now.
It was Virtuoso.
It still is Virtuoso.
Zen actually is of the people that were in the matches there,
the only one who's even on the savior board there.
But man, it's the twins up there right now, Gibbs.
Yeah, Kills and Roas have just been phenomenal.
And this is across the three lands as well.
So these numbers are for the entire year.
But Falcons, their offense has been on match the entire year,
James.
And we see it with the twin killers and Roas leading
in both categories.
I want to point out to James, we showed this graphic back
in like the Swiss.
And we thought killers just literally had it locked up.
There was no way he was going to lose.
Striker, Exotic is chasing him down.
Oh, championship.
Exotic had some phenomenal series,
especially in the Swiss stage. There was one game where he just did everything himself.
Like he is such a solid player and he's so humble about it too.
He's not one of those players that's super flashy or out there with a crazy personality
saying the same things on on the Internet, but he's just a good rock solid player
and he's backing it up with the numbers.
He's doing a great job there. Well, we are closed.
We got a little under 10 minutes before we get our first game on the pitch there.
So, Leith is apparently somewhere in the building to talk to us about some
to give us some questions from players.
Leaf, where are you at from from fans of belief behind you?
Hey, oh, what?
You're the snake of the bitty.
Yeah, no, it's one thing we talk about a lot
is how incredible our community is.
Stacks says it every single time we have the
these sports greatest fans.
Hands down. Oh, yeah.
These guys are nuts. I mean, it's early.
But you're here and you're already ready
to celebrate Watson Rock League.
So I wanted to reach out to the fans
that couldn't be here with us and asked for some questions online to ask the desk to get
them involved in the broadcast. So I got a few will run through before we get to the
show here. I think they'll appear on the screen. Someone here can watch you first off. Yes or
no. Will we have a two time world champion by the end of Sunday. I feel pretty confident
now saying though. Yeah. Vitality is not here. It's going to be vitality. BDS gentlemen
might still have that. Yes. Yeah. That's it. Take a monkey moon. Take a monkey moon
Yeah, that way the BDS Jim.
Those are the only two there even left.
I'll be able to think.
I mean, your two favorites are Falcons and G2.
And none of them have a world championship title.
So yeah, I'm going to say no.
And I really believe that this is Falcons time.
And we actually saw this.
That's dangerous to him.
I know, but we have seen teams like Team BDS
before they finally reached their pinnacle
and started winning everything.
They were coming in second almost every single time.
So sometimes you just need to go through those tough,
Tough losses to finally break through. Yeah, and I think it's time. Yeah, good analysis there. Wait for those again
Oh, cool. I think we're time for a couple more here. Yeah. Next one is Monkey Moon equals Tom Brady if our all wins
Not very exciting but gets it done Tom Brady played a game called football you may have
Yeah, but but he
I don't think so because Tom Brady, he won so many Super Bowl. Yeah. So it's kind of, yeah, it's kind of crazy. I feel like to get that point, you would have to win like three world champion. And also no one likes Tom Brady. I'm a New Yorker. I hate Tom Brady. So he wanted to rob him.
They know he was so people like monkey moon people hate Tom Brady.
I bet the fans here do not like Tom Brady either.
Apparently some applause.
So saying no.
Well, you can determine those those applause.
Have you like a little break?
Let's let's do a little more for you guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I need to have a speech.
There we are.
How much of an impact do you think this crowd will have on the elimination
games?
How much?
I think it depends on how loud they get.
Yeah.
They got a lot of it's early.
I mean, we haven't even started the game.
We saw with that OG series in Vitality.
Yes, Vitality did win.
But that crowd had an impact on that match.
So I think it's going to continue throughout the entire weekend.
If the crowd have a clear favorite,
then I think, yes, they're going to be quite impactful.
If they're more, you know, 50-50 split, I think not as much.
But yeah, I agree about the OG pick over Vitality.
I think when then you look at a lot of people here, love Joyo.
Oh, that's the idea.
That's going to be such a scary time for anybody
that's facing up against Oxygen.
Yeah, we'll see.
Well, folks, we are getting close to the match here.
Leif, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us.
See you out there.
Bye, Leif.
We'll see him talking to players all weekend.
Like I connected us to the game.
Just getting us out there on the pitch with them.
So we're getting closer and closer to kick off here.
The players are getting ready on the pitch.
Furia doing their pregame ritual
as they've been doing all week,
getting their minds set and prepared,
which means it's time for us to start talking about their match.
We're talking about the matchups that are going on here.
Leif was specifically asking about elimination there.
This is not an elimination match. We are in tiebreakers here.
These teams, both still have their lives on the line, so they'll keep it going here.
Karmicor on one side, Furia on the other.
Let's start talking about the Blue Wall, a team that seemed questionable to even be here at one point this season.
I mean, bear in mind, we didn't see them at the London Major.
It's been since Copenhagen that we saw them compete online, and realistically, during the entire regional events,
we also didn't see them that often, like they missed out on a couple of them.
So I think since being here they have been incredible. They have been world-class. I've been so impressed with them
They to me I'm the only person of predictions to have them as my eventual winner
Wow, and this is one step closer to it
I think when you look at how they've formed James they've taken to the stage like a doctor water
Well, and I honestly don't hate that pick we've seen atto hit some crazy shots the ground pinches
That seems to be his signature shot, but rise we know as a land boy gets to so many land finals
They were a world's favorite going into the start of the year and it looks like that's
what things were shaping up to be.
They were dominating online.
They looked good.
I mean, they made it to Copenhagen, but then the wheels fell off a little bit.
But now is the time when you want to hit your stride.
Coach Ferrer, though, they did lose to Furia in the Swiss round two.
I think that is an advantage for K-Corp and for Ferrer because they can game plan
better off that loss and figure out what went wrong.
And then it had basically three days to wait for it, so I think they'll be ready for it.
On the other side though, a team that has already taken on Karmicor once this world championship
and vanquished them.
Furia, they made history, they made their name on this stage in Dickey's Arena two
years ago.
They're looking to do it again against another blue European squad.
Also containing Ryze on that team against Andverterra, like it's almost wrestling
the styles that this matchup of course is not for elimination, but it's still
going to be a huge precedent for either of these teams to set Furia. They have gone through the
only team they've lost to is Falcons. One of the best teams in the world, multiple grand finalists
and loss has been a player for me that has popped off time and time again in these high
pressure situations. He's a huge impact player for Furia. When he's silent, they lose. He was
involved in 1.5 goals versus KC. The highest of any player in that match lost has to do the
the same thing again. But you know Yan hasn't even had to reach his final form.
So if lost is playing at the level that he has and then Yan starts to make the
plays we know he's capable of. The jaw dropping solo plays, the creativity, but
even the ability to beat out the defense in the air. That could spell
disaster for K-Corp. And according to players K-Corp are the favorites. They
were the favorites though in round two of Swiss as well. Fury does not care
about that. Yeah. They're just gonna come out and play their game. But Fury
is known for their rematches.
They usually lose the rematches or win
based on what they did in Swiss.
That was normally versus Vitality.
They kept going back and forth.
So this time they won in Swiss,
playing another European team on a rematch.
They've experienced losses here before.
They need to fix that.
We'll see if they're able to do it.
A huge match.
A great way to kick off
the Saturday of the World Championship.
Hashtag KC, think that the Blue Walls
got it, hashtag FUR for Furia.
Notably absent in the building
is the blue wall. There is no car me core section of fans. Unless I'm looking around
just trying to make sure here. I don't. There's a bit. There's a fan. There's there's a
there's a nice there. Mine. I thought that was a furious section. It was so far away.
It's literally they're here. They're ready to go and they're getting the fan. They're
getting the team riled up here, ready to play. Folks, let's know who you think is
going to win. We're excited to find out who we think is going to win. This is
where the rubber starting to meet the road. James leading in predictions right
I am how you're going well
I I thought I had put in the fury of prediction at the end of the day
But then I went and rechecked our predictions and I said I did go k-corp and it made me second guess
You can choose where you guys well
I know I I feel like this event has kind of turned into the event of redemption and revenge
We've seen it. You know a team BDS getting their revenge oxygen getting their revenge
So I think k-corp will get that answer back on fury up
So give me k-corp. It's a lot of history with fury and rematches. They normally lose it if they won
I'm going to keep work as well. I've got blue walls my venture winners
I am here standing as diesel representative on the desk as that final chance for me calming cork take down fury in this
Rematch blue wall successful. I
Want the blue wall to win. I genuinely do there's three there for my favorite people in all of rocket league
But fury it just white did they just did this. They've only lost
It's the Falcon's gimmie fury on this one, it's got to be fury over the blue wall here folks.
How does the coin feel about it?
They got fury, they love it.
And it comes up for the blue wall, the blue wall supported by the coin.
So, clear favorites apparently, but the fans in the building want fury to take out the Frenchman.
That's so loud, I didn't expect there to be so many fury of fans here.
I thought there'd be a lot of fans of Ryze, of Attira, of Ferra.
They're not fairer, people love fairer, but no, we fans as well at home, they've gone the other way, calming, calming.
The blue wall makes some enemies too, it might be a little bit of a bullfuck.
It's time to play some Rocket League for the World Championship.
The finish line is getting closer.
Eight teams have survived the chaos of the Swiss Abyss,
and we will crown a new champion on Sunday,
but tomorrow is still a day away.
We begin this day with the tiebreakers.
The blue wall is back at Worlds, but can they withstand the fury of South America?
It's game time!
It's itself in the same arena.
Two years ago, these two teams played with everything on the line.
Johnny this time they play to take on Falcons and have two lights in that double elimination bracket
Let's get to came number one brought to you by progressive
They don't rise material. They already had their shot at the revenge in Swiss couldn't get it that time
Will they be able to get it in the much preferable situation?
It sounds at least from I could hear that the crowd is back in fury by significant margins up the blue wall
And the bad guys, locally.
Which confirms you all at home by the way, they were saying blue, not blue.
I think it was a high cal hold of it.
There's the five here for this tight break of game.
I'm under as well that the loser of this one, or playing almost immediately afterwards,
they will take on BDS.
We somewhat agree, Johnny, that no matter who plays them there, BDS will be going in as the favourites.
Yeah, it's gonna be tough, you know, coming off the loss in the opening series of the day,
of the day immediately then having to play against BDS. We're just sitting back safe watching this one,
maybe doing a little bit of warm-up. Yeah, that's tough. It's hard to pick anybody against BDS there,
so this is really a must win if you want to have that extra life. The winner of this will have two
lives in the bracket. Loser of this will get a chance to play for two lives later against BDS,
but there's no guarantee. Okay, we're getting lost, we'll be. Oh, spread up there. I thought
I thought he was going to challenge but instead that is a make-a-roar.
He can't get the block.
But this team is flying over that midfield possession.
They won't be on target but it will be pretty comfortable
and he has got Ryze on the far side well covered.
Yeah Ryze just a few seconds ago had a pretty nervous touch.
Rushed it a little bit and hit it one more vertically than he wanted
and Patera couldn't get back to his own side while he completely missed it.
I think that shows that Kramikorpe are coming out fast.
They know that Theria play it in intense pace.
They're trying to match them, but by doing so, in the high pressure stage environment, they might be pushing themselves a little bit too hard, out of the blocks.
Vati couldn't quite find the bump onto Lost.
Just won't quite settle for even these teams at the moment.
Everyone has a good defensive line going.
Tiro.
Yeah, Lost looking back for it should be challenged, he certainly is.
This is the best position Fury have had. They've got just a whole lot of boards.
Oh my!
Nobody from Fury expected it because why would you?
It's definitely Karmicorp to look like the nervous team.
Still, that was Ryze missing. An uncontested ball in defense.
Fury have had the better chances to be nearly scored.
That's going to be another shot some target.
Sierra will easily save it, but not the best clear.
It's going to be pounced on by Lost. It was here, it doesn't have a lot of boost here.
Nice outlet pass though.
the pre-jump challenge in the midfield and avoided it well.
Okay, come thrice. Tried for the infield pass, but...
Sierra didn't quite fancy going all in for that one.
And another of these teams have got a chance to play in front of the crowd just yet. They got their job done.
Nice and comfortably drawing the actual Swiss bracket.
Also both teams are very experienced when it comes to land game play.
So, going towards the board, 100 boosts in spawn for him, so alright, go get plan B. Plan
B is the fake, trying to just squeeze away through, but that's not happening if you're
at your absolutely everybody with that.
One out, rise, almost dunked.
With chance here for Furia, KCR wants to break back in, they can't get the ball
back out of the other side of the field.
If you're yellow comfortable, this is a stage like we mentioned that both Jan and
Jan and Lost have had success on the board, Lost eliminated the strong Dignitas roster
two years ago. When he played for the club, went game seven against his then big brothers
Fiora. So eliminated by his now teammate Jan and Jan of course, semi finalist. I mean
they were definitely the team who had the better run last time they played at Dickey's
arena when compared to Ryzen and Matira as well.
I'm sure lost reminds you about that case not like he was that close taking them to game seven overtime
I didn't yet reminds him that big one anyone
I'm sure they certainly do
Very can over two lost rise keeps it away still nail nail 50 seconds left to play
Yes, great stuff by Ryze is so fake coming played the ball so that the defender in the goal line wouldn't have to worry about too much
You know for all of furious after Billy and the pitch the fact they've been more consistent
They still haven't got a goal for it, that was almost a big dunk for a Garmin Corp.
Going the other way, ceiling double for Yan, he reaches it, it's saved well by KT.
Now for Tira's turn, the video has to pre-jump.
One of these might go drastically wrong for a defender, there's a lot of pre-jumping as a third man.
Tira has to escape, getting bumped.
Now, and surprise, Tira had a lot of good possession, haven't made too many opportunities on it.
He said both sides.
And 10!
Opening's 5 minutes.
Bipers are in OT.
Oh, one more chance!
A little bit of an increase in heart rate,
but we still go to overtime.
And Furia have had the better chances.
What Karmicorch have held on,
they put some critical saves.
And no, they are starting to ease
into this game a little bit.
If they can steal this one,
if they can go against the run and play
play against him a bit some of game one and take it will they be able to win over
the crowd who at the moment see fury a favorite
Fiora did something about it it wasn't Dominic like any strange
imagination down both these teams have a long way to go
massive
it's Yan as well he's just completely missed that trying to get a touch
vertically he had a bit too much pace on his aerial and he's falling good
the ball now. I really wonder
could he have taken his time with
that and just knocked into the
corner he was facing. He tried
to almost redirect that one
upwards to pop it clear and
completely missed the ball. You're
always running that danger when
you try to go for those precise
touches. Primary corporate
there to punish. Well, play
shot by Atto. It's a very,
very weak way to give up game
I'm not sure that they will put that behind.
They see, I mean, they've already had too much going
throughout that entire match, but hey, they've got the win.
They do.
Move forwards.
Yeah, best of five as well, so this is a big win.
I mean, against the run of play, sure.
But they were the team who were able to back each other up
when slight mistakes happened.
They weren't, they weren't too bad.
There would be maybe a miss hit in the midfield,
maybe a complete miss at times.
But Theria weren't there to punish them.
And Karmikarp did have backup players.
They covered each other really well in defense and you have to do that sometimes even at pro level
Covered the potential for a mistake to happen or even a miss to happen
No more so than in these high pressure situations your first game on stage at the world championship
second last day of the tournament and his farming part on the board part
Sierra is going to try and set up immediately the rise
I'm not going to be a controversial in here. No goal scored. So we don't have to worry about any review of a goal being valid or not. It looks like this will just be a tech issue, seemingly on the KC side.
a lot of people are going to
be able to get a lot of people
scored so we don't have to worry
about any review of a goal being
valid or not. It looks like this
will just be a tech issue
seemingly on the KC side.
It's all over there, but we'll
have any updates. You're right
crowd. What do you think of
the preset? Yeah, anybody a
fan of OEM wheels? We have any
OEM users in the house today.
Good taste in Fort Worth. I
see. Well, you know, we
I'm a fan of this new map I've got to say I love the deep greens, the darker colored maps, I'm a late night gamer, so when the bright colors come on, you totally call us Ian, I do have to take out the shades, which is a bit weird at two in the morning.
I've got this thing every single time there's a new map that gets released, I either like it or dislike it based on if I win my very first game on it.
So thankfully I like this new map.
I don't believe it.
Wow.
You were there.
Oh wait, was I playing?
I think you were.
I believe it then I suppose bad memory my bad love that love fair is suited up look for today
He's always taking his role very seriously
wants to look the part and
Also play the part behind his team. We can see them actually you you mentioned to me
We saw them backstage just getting ready to come out and play and serious vibes very intense. You're describing
That's been a tier is entire career hasn't it? Yeah one thing on his mind every single year is about the next world championship
remember we had him on for an interview after one of his tournament victories and
was like well you know how do you feel like you achieve so much for your career
and he said well I haven't achieved enough he wants this tournament every
single major he's won every single regional tournament that he's won
anything in between this is the one that he has always wanted it is the
drive to compete and the drive to win can this finally be his rises and a
the first time in a row. The
competition is more difficult
than ever. So we do have an
update for you guys. We got PC
restarting stage at where point
we will have a lobby remake, and
we're going to be restarting from
five minutes and the clock. Like
we mentioned, there's no goals
been scored, so we don't need
to review any goals and see if
they were or were not valid.
So this should be a quick
restart once we do have the
PC ready to go. And if I'm
not mistaken, that's the
first touch side of the stage
the next round. Yeah, probably
T base might be sweating
backstage right now, wondering
is that his PC that he's going
to have to use that's currently
being restarted. That's how
where it is. You do find a way
to take him. Well, the tear
looks comfortable. You know,
there have been times when the
high pressure situations have
got to him a little bit. You
know, he's like you mentioned
one of the most ferocious
competitors in the scene,
and that can sometimes go one
or two ways can either go
to start off with for KC, but
guessing that when I think it's
really kind of down and then
they just look fully composed as
we like to start off the second
game of the series looks like
they're into a warm up lobby or
at least some of them are.
It's probably quite interesting
as well for KC having seen
vitality get eliminated because
all of these rosters in Europe
were developed to beat
vitality through and they've all
improved because of that and now
they are looking to say all
right we have surpassed them
besides everybody else and now
and we're gonna have to deal
with that. Yeah, every team in
the world really just had
vitality as the goal and now
that they're out of the event,
it's just best of everyone else.
But you know, thinking about
the trajectory of this match,
the winner of this match. There
is no easy way forward. You
know, you're thinking about
okay, we win this, we're
going to play match up against
Falcons. We lose this and
we're playing against BDS,
the winner of that place. You
to I mean, it's like pick
your poison here. So I think
it really will be a case of
players have a ton of experience
in these situations. They know
that they can't take any opponent
lightly. We've seen that probably
more here than any other event in
the past for pioneers, power,
massive upset wins. You can't look
past the opponent right in front
of you. There's no doubt that the
laser focus for both these rosters
is the team facing right in front
of them right now. Furia. You
know, they've had some regain
capabilities as well as of late.
I like what I've seen from lost
this event. He's really had a big step up compared to the previous lines this
season. Oh the fist bumps might very well tell you what we all want to know
which is that we are ready to get back into game two. Kasey took the first one
one to nothing. We have had quite a bit of a stop since then. What can both of
these teams now bring out of her chance to fully acclimatize to that
stage? That's it. It's here. Take your turns here dribbling. Here a couple
three point turns in the opening seconds.
Poor Vati.
It's unusual to see, but it's a slight repositioning.
It's time to be done.
If you do have the time.
Oh, yeah, this looking dangerous.
I had everybody in a panic briefly before
Ryze takes control of the backboard.
Lost is going to leave at 1.
Kira is still looking for their first goal.
It's been a little bit of a recurring theme
throughout this time on the stage,
where getting that first one in the series
has been very difficult.
it, Vitality had it. Fiori will not want to add themselves to those ranks. It comes
right. Plenty of time. What can he do? Leaves it! Oh, but wide! What a wide put high!
And KC run out of opportunities. Yeah, it looked like Atos had the clear
cut chance out with a lot of them there. They all had chances, but it made sense
for both Vatira and Ryze to just make sure they're not hitting a goalkeeper
with their shots. I think Atos was more uncontested with the top corner
to aim at, however, cross far to the rescue for Peria.
The landing there as well from Ryze.
He's always got an extra touch that you just don't expect.
And that's not a good play.
It's an equally bad shot.
Yes, little shots in.
Really easy to save shots coming through from Karmicarp.
Jan leaves this one.
And Devils the goalkeeper.
Again, Karmicarp are there.
When one player gets taken out of the game,
there's another coming in behind him.
Defensive structure looks to be in place for the blue wall.
Oh, Yan's got plenty of time.
He's also got a reset off the backboard.
He got buffed for his troubles.
KC are getting there, but they're not going to get to this one.
In over a second as the ball's coming across the goal here,
I thought lost and hit the post.
He needed to avoid rise with that one.
Trefino is there just to make the goal a little bit bigger,
even if he didn't hit it out of the net,
which of course, as we can see,
he did not lost first in the score sheet for Furia.
That fake kickoff point by great sheet coming through for KC
Fall goes to their half, but they're more than fine with the boost coming in to support the attack
Reset off the demo as well lost you go for a pinch
Couldn't find it but my smoke screen who's gonna get the first it is going to be KC
Nice reset what you do after the fact you're it keep avoiding these back wall demos
I would like to see KC just that, a little bit of power trying to force things off loads.
It has been sort of like a very easily told by Nala Picard and Nala couldn't get to it.
They just ran out of boost in a critical moment, he would have had that if he had maybe just five more boosts.
Now he's going to go flying towards the KC.
end to end stuff here. Still, when we look at the Totals series, Buria have
controlled the majority of it, but it is also close with only two goals being
scored, one for each team.
Here we go, between those two is...
Here it does finally escape the clutch.
Oh, out to Yan again. KCM had these dropping so long the way!
Phenomenal saves.
Oh, they've done well yet again.
Now, Bustos, it's only Batiro, but he's been so many heroic stops, but eventually, a miss comes through.
Batiro is trying to catch the ball on the back wall, both bats on Ryze had no boost,
and I'm pretty sure they would have come back, Batiro knew he had to take control.
A simple, soft clear is not going to do in a situation like that,
but while trying to play for the full catch, ball control, he messed it up and it's 2-0.
Very nice to play there for Batoba.
90 seconds, Fiora comfortably in the lead, nice fast side.
Don't pass yet.
Oh, he's found the play.
Well, you've got to get creative these days.
Make it obvious how Steve Benzers can just
see that line between the ball and the passing
you're trying to pass it to, they cover that.
Immediately by Losty, he is straight at that one.
Video, after the bumps, that one's going to drop to him.
Fiora, he's too fast.
They're simply too fast as, once again, Drophino pounces on this on Clear and makes his own rebound.
With KC knew this was going to happen, you could see in Game 1 they were racing to every ball,
sometimes racing to balls that were not actually contested,
and now Fury are starting to take control.
If KC stole Game 1, Fury have dominated Game 2.
It's a Fury-up-favorite series by the looks of things.
Oh my, that's a fast anywhere.
Fiora half well and truly settled.
Yan, that's why I'm trying to go too much further forwards.
You've got three goals to better.
And only 35 seconds left, it would
be a miraculous display from Casey
if they were to try and make anything of this game.
Yeah.
Might be very much starting looking towards the next one.
Well, this could be something for them.
But Sierra back forward.
He's going for the pass back to Ryze,
who is a bit too far forward for a pass that high.
Like you mentioned, a miracle that
that needed to come back against Iphiria in a fine form like this.
It looks like the time has gotten away from KZ.
It's probably something that needs to change here for KZ.
It is 1-1 in the series, which is obviously fine.
But they were panicking a little bit in game one,
and Iphiria have completely blown them off the pitch in game two.
We had three goals and many other chances.
No consolation goals for Kermit Krof either.
Re-game needed for the great blue wall from Europe.
as you mentioned, both teams have got one game apiece, but the quality of the wins.
Yeah, Casey's kind of came out of nowhere. Furious was, well, we knew about it for a long time.
Yeah, a lot of talking done right now between the Tira and the team.
I'm not surprised to see that really. They're still talking as we can see
on stage from the commentary box. It looks like they're discussing their game plan,
they can execute. On it a little
bit more accurately, or it could
even be a change of game plan,
something that. Apart from rise
specifically regarding their
previous land performances is
that he sometimes thinks they
adapt too much, so I would
guess based on that they're
just trying to reinforce their
game plan that they had coming
in, talk about how they can
better execute on that plan
and find the results they want.
Well, what do you think about
that's what it is at the moment
because it's been a bit of a
struggle to get them any sort
of offensive opportunities. So
what is the case that we usually
see? What would they try to do
here? You know, based on game
one, I think they clearly had an
idea to go out and contest every
ball quickly. You know,
sometimes when you're up against
the team like fury, who play
super fast, super aggressive,
if you can just play as fast
or slightly slower, then you're
at least going to get a touch
on the ball that they're
trying to hit. Then if you
attackable if you want to be if you're lucky to use that as a word today hasn't
really been that case today of fury has a discipline so we'll see how it goes
and being free for Casey. Nice challenge. Fiora always seems to have somebody else back.
Get to me I just want to see Casey put some power on some of these hits. Force Fiora to expect
something different other than an outplay. It's been a little bit one
note for my taste says the tier of will to accept that he's in field. Significantly more
clinical. And Drafino got bumped here by Atto who then swept into the box, turned and shot
the ball bouncing corner. That's a huge bump from Atto and Drafino. Drafino would have
got back to his own ball there, had enough in for Atto, flipping him before he went
into the center of the box. Bounces out nicely for Ryze. Atto is just counting
away again. Now the infield gets again. KC have found something that works. They should
have had a second goal for it. Now he goes to the counter attack.
That could be considered a two goal miss by Karmicorps. Immediately afterwards they've
conceded in the other direction great comms on the face there from Viria knowing that
there was a free shot further approaching player. Karmicorps will like he said feel
like this should be leading this one to zero.
There's a couple of times in game number one as well that they had missed some pretty easy by their standard shots
Cannot fall to be something that repeats itself
It comes back easier a boost so just put that one it's an old spot and then can steal your opponents
I do love the way the pure opposition does just so much trust
But the person on goal has got it covered.
Oh, man, this was not the time to trust him.
You know, just after a brilliant back pass,
Loss tries to mid-pass it off the wall,
but Gervino didn't read it, or it wasn't communicated at a time.
He was going wide, expecting Loss to pop the ball one more time.
Miss come there by Furia,
not really on the same page with the passing play,
and Karmicorp get another one.
It's the first real misstep I think we've seen from Furia in quite a while.
And try to get that one up to lost.
That pinch doesn't go their way either, so very scrappy few minutes.
Canvatoria, punish them for it.
In goes it, so that one's up high.
And a relatively frequent phrase when it comes to KC.
Nice pop, but where's the next player up?
It is going to be Yan.
Challenging one, challenging two.
and will happily take on everybody if given the opportunity.
Three minutes left to play.
He's still casey with the lead.
That might change somewhat soon though.
Furia have got this on lock.
At least they didn't till that win.
It was definitely looking pretty good there for Furia,
but no, it's got the other way.
Yet again, the crossbar to the rescue.
Third time this game that Karmicar prepattled it.
Furia still have a lot of time to play with.
We're not even halfway through game three.
But this is by far
The highest amount of offensive productivity they currently got provided at this point now to get.
But they've certainly adapted.
Vinio trying to get his team back into this. That's certainly a good way to do it.
But Tira had to stay very alert.
Now Ryze with Tira in the midfield.
Infiltrators have been coming pretty frequently here from KC,
but they have still managed to hide it well enough where Furia can't get there more often than not.
It's such an awkward position to play from in that corner.
This was pretty much it.
Wow, Yan!
So much power.
Unbelievable skin that he was able to get on that ball.
Two minutes to go.
Here we are.
I'm going to do some more defending.
It's Karmen Korg's midfield.
Looking a whole lot more impenetrable than it did last game.
You know, it's been a while since you've seen Karmen Korg make any mistakes.
Make any mistakes.
Well, they'll be back and say, this is nearly an on goal.
Diving back almost behind to his own net but it is off the post set out of danger
Oh my goodness fairly over the bridge up follow through boys going on as both beams start to get immediate follow-up to the ball
Yeah, it's gonna immediately go for it, but so is a toe
Lost with the pick up first touch someone letting down
That will be first one up
They seem still got good pressure minute 20 on the clock lost lurking behind enemy lines couldn't find his way to the ball
Here's a turn of sidewall, double tap the hole!
Attil plays the miss and gets rewarded.
By far the best game for Karmikarp continues.
Yan off the post with his own card.
As Attil doubles it in easily.
Buria needs something and they need it soon.
Before Karmikarp moves to double that point.
This is not the way to start it.
Batira's just gonna fake out his positioning, no point going forwards, here comes Ryze, reset, goes low, still blocked.
Buria do not look happy whatsoever in this position.
Cannot find a way out, KC won't make it easy on them.
They go, trying to hold that midfield yet again, no breathing room.
Drops out, backlock, bats on, woods.
The Batira well-read now and so, don't sit onwards will it? Drop in! Not quite, Crossbar still against them!
It's so close so many times for Carbincorp, a complete role reversal. When compared to forbidden temple,
where Fury are dominated but now time is getting away from them. They're trying to pass the ball at a defense.
That's how they go scored on for the second Carbincorp goal of the game.
And now with just 20 seconds left, Fury are can't wait any longer. They're gonna need to take those risks.
And what's scary here is if KC could just hit their shots, this could very easily have been 4 or 5.
Oh yeah.
Big questions, neat big answers in the next minute.
Llorian looked like the better team for 10 minutes, but they didn't get two wins for it.
And now they are against double match point, or they will have a date with BDS.
Like far the best game we've seen from KC, it looks like that chat after game two.
Functioned as an effective timeout, they just reset themselves, they played their game they wanted to play.
Now it's Furia who needs to make adjustments. Unreal game from Ato, they're really getting involved in offense.
The mechanical prowess, an offensive powerhouse, every time he's on the pitch.
But it was actually Furia overstepping the passing plays that initially got them behind in this game,
in this game, lost, popping the ball into the side vault, ran forward thinking
Drophinio would be right behind him. Drophinio was more back, he was expecting
loss to pop the ball after that first touch to the wall. So, you know, who's
supposed to come that? Well, somebody's got to call it early. That was not the
synergy that Furia need in farming court already. I mean, they're playing their
best game. You can't be giving them bills like that to add to. They're
already impressive tally. That is the reason why Farah was brought in.
Coach the team that eliminated KC from the World Championship last year around
over in the semi-finals. The nominal series of that one was
now brought in to try and deliver a World Championship to the Blue Wall.
For Furia, it is about getting over the hurdle.
They have been one of the top teams in the world for a long time,
but just like Falcons, they haven't been able to get to that final stage
and go and pick up that win.
That would really cement one of those regions.
Oh, the watch shots start things off, rise.
And now Atto, again, is now intentionally
hitting the crossfire this time.
Farming court, start, game four on the offensive end,
but a beat coming through from the loss,
follow-up from Grafini, over reset.
Does land, but he couldn't get back to the ball.
Yeah, the ball just popped away from it.
Tira just going to play that one away, Grafini.
Right behind him, still on it.
Azirah boost will not help his cause.
Vatira with 100 when he went up.
He'll have very few when he gets down, but you can see he holds the 14.
Trying to prioritize that recovery, which some of the players have to do these days.
Decent power, lost with love, a bit more boost, but he didn't.
Just allowed KC to psych themselves out.
That is a disgusting fate by loss.
rolling to really make it as convincing as possible but Tierra only got a small piece of the ball lost easily able to force it through him
So many counter-attack goals in this matchup. T.C.'s game plan seemingly is to defend by attacking and that's pretty much furious
identity so
It's great to see play your
transitional gameplay and to end gameplay so Atto forced to make it awkward defensive touch
Tierra is just gonna full send get rid of it
Yeah, that's a straight zone. Still losing the challenge, but it drops out very nicely for Ryze.
Backflip from Lost. Tickle Volts get back as well.
Mando of Zero boost couldn't really get much, but his team has covered him.
They will not have any issues from that, as that's going to drop out nicely.
Graffinio still with low boost. Furia just keep arriving with a player with 20 or less.
And they don't want to over commit against KC. Ryze had an open backboard there, couldn't find a target, or a teammate in the middle, something in between.
Didn't really work out in their favor.
Lost, guzzly dangerous in this game. He obviously scored the first goal with a fake, second time he mixed it up by just hitting the variable shot.
And Tira full boost of defense will be able to track down his initial soft touch. Turn it into an irritable 50.
And he's got 100 as well in field pass, but Terra sends it over to Atso to finish it off.
And he finished off that sequence beautifully, steals the boost, nips into the corner.
What was probably expected to be a 50-50 from Furious POV was a fake challenge from Metira.
He just jumped onto the back wall, came away with the ball clean and found his teammate in the middle.
Fake kickoff as well.
There you know, Casey have got a lot of different strategies when it comes to the start of the game.
Right, on the reset, that is so much power. The Furia know that quite well, they've got there with plenty of time to spare.
Here is my Furia, made some mistakes in the past.
Demos will certainly help out.
They're reasonably comfortably, but after that 100 boost, has managed to get a hold of it.
Will that close Furia to have to stay in the backside of the field?
Yes, that demo. Just give them that room, though.
Is Jan's going to go up? Bump for his troubles.
Yes, just like game three, plenty of time for Furia to play with.
They were in this exact same position, and then they overextended with a risky passing play
to give KC the lead, but Tira is really coming into his own now.
Controlling the pitch, defending well against Furia at one end,
hearing them apart at the other.
Oh, what a good first touch and somehow Furia unable to get to it.
Here has been the danger man though for Furia.
Can he find another demo? No he can't but he will get the 100 boost that might leave time
as it goes out to Yan, met at the point of contact.
KC rock solid when it comes to our rotations.
That was another mind game attempt.
It's Raphino this time, trying to fake out the KC defense.
Reload fall for that two times in one game, it would seem.
Yuri and KC playing each other so close.
The business end of the series.
Good play by Vatira, low boost, but still.
They get an effective, expensive touch.
He really has for me, taking over the game in game four.
Oh, the bubble!
Oh, it will sit still!
And Tom's got the brace!
Oh, what if that had been here for Furia?
The ball is bouncing dangerously, but lost completely misread the ceiling bounce,
ended up in front of the ball, and could not get it into the back corner.
Had he just waited on the ground a little bit longer, he wouldn't even had to predict the ceiling bounce.
But the fear of KC beating into the ball made him jump earlier than he was comfortable with,
and he was made to play.
Now for Reset-Vaterra, can't get it over the top, but we don't need to now.
Casey's started slow, but they are finishing strong.
One goal to the better.
Is that about to change? Drafino's left a lot of work to do.
Now Ryze looks to try and show him how it's done.
Ceiling Reset back for it. Next one up will not be Casey.
Casey's sitting deep with two there, and one of those two, Atto,
Wasting even more time as now Furia boomed the ball forward, but it's not even past the first challenge KC
We're defending him successful wage right now
Such an impressive step up mid series by KC since then it really does look like they are the team in control the crossbar
Or the post pick your favorite save a furia from another three one deficit
Looking for the ceiling right there often. He's tearing them apart
but lost will not blink now they chase the other side of the field but 2v2
KC did do enough and they will secure themselves they spotted our top six
but that was an unbelievable defensive miss from KC the furious did not expect but
they had it they missed their chance and KC advanced it seems like we are
running it back and awful a lot from two years ago. This time, revenge for Ryze and Vitira.
Furia are still in the tournament. They've still got a long way to go before they're
even thinking about being eliminated, but for them, they have another rematch to have.
Monkey Moon eliminated them two years ago. Let's try and put them into the lower bracket
very, very soon. I mean, it's a tough situation. This is the reward you get for finishing in the top
half of the Swiss, um, top eight. You get more chances. You get these tiebreakers. But the problem
is if you lose this first one, now you've got to go again against BDS. You lose that one, then
you're into the elimination match today. So they can't really complain. They've been giving
a lot of chances here to make it into that top six, make it into that top four.
Feria for now are being forced to take the senior through the bracket and correct me if I am wrong now Johnny
But that now means
Falcons a wait KC. Yes, I believe so. I think so somebody will correct us at some point
I mean it's been the season of rematches been the season of revenge so many times teams have matched up in Swiss
Rematch in the bracket and the win has gone to the other direction
Will Falcons be able to do so later? Well, we'll find out tomorrow
Before then we are going to talk to the winners of the series.
Leaf is with RICE.
We've got RICE from the blue.
That's a nod I guess.
Yeah, mixed reaction.
What is cool though, as we do have the ball on, isn't that cool seeing them go?
There goes.
Much love boys.
Thank you so much for the support.
That's really cool.
Now I want to ask you, because you came over here, you breathed the sigh of relief.
And what did you say to me when you stepped up here just a minute ago?
It's good to be back.
It's good to be back.
to ask you though, does it feel natural?
Was there a little bit of a relearning
of the rhythm coming into this,
or was it just easy peasy?
I mean, yeah, we obviously haven't played
a land for a while, miss in London,
you know, we didn't qualify for EWC,
but I think we're getting into the swing of it,
you know, finding our momentum, finding our rhythm,
and I think it showed that series,
you know, we're pretty comfortable throughout,
so yeah, very happy.
Now, you gotta be happy too,
because the team you just faced
gave you a little bit of trouble in Swiss as well.
Can you talk to me through why Furious seemed to have your number?
Even this, it didn't look like it was easy.
No, I mean, it wasn't easy.
They're a great team.
They caused us a lot of problems last time with a lot of demos.
And I think we kind of avoided that by fighting fire with fire this time.
We've made them very awkward, I think.
Made it hard for them to play their game.
And yeah, we got the win, so we got that.
Definitely did.
At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
That kind of approach to a matchup then, is that something you take with
every team because I know a lot of teams say they just play their game, but this feels
like it was a little more tailored towards maybe them to be able to beat them this time.
No, to be fair, last time we played, I think, obviously they play very well, but we weren't
finding those demos.
We weren't finding those plays, which is what we normally do and what we normally
try and do.
And yeah, I think today we looked and played our game and I got the win.
Now I want to just ask you in general, because you also played SSG, who you guys
took down in a 3-0 but then they go and knock out Vitality so are you surprised
I mean your face shows a little bit of that no I think you know 16 teams it's
the best teams in the world that's why we have the world championship so anyone
can be anyone on their day and I mean that's the beauty of the e-sport right
that's true hey well I'm gonna go let you celebrate this win you got the
the dub over them. Can I get it one more time for Ryzen Karmingor beats the
wall twice. Well, a few teams do, but not furious. They were not able to find the
magic they had earlier in the tournament here in the blue wall have earned
themselves two lives in our playoff bracket. They are the three seed and
they're just warming up. You know, they haven't had a land in a long time.
Ryzen is like, all right, we're starting to get comfortable now. And
that's scary games.
It was all at every single goal. It was incredible. It is a team
I'm joking but to see Ato pop off he and take over that series was something else. He is game
I'll say until that final open that right then he didn't expect to be open
We had two seconds left nearly the same magic that we had from fury taking rise in a terror
It was all there ready for him crossbar. They clear it. They couldn't get it done on that chance
Otherwise things I agree lost stunning series that one moment and then I'll see two moments
He also had a play on defense in that game as well that he could have made a save too, but he's got to forget about that quickly
He goes is there playing again right after this against BDS?
But I think the big question mark for me now for fear is yeah
Yeah, didn't score either in that game again is such a huge part of the success of this team
Yeah, you know rise set at plan our game
That's you know, maybe the most famous if you're a rock-a-league player trademark that
People will owe you a fortune. But to me what you know what that means is they had to boost
They had the space and the confidence and the positioning and they were able to do what they wanted to and make it feel easy
The adaptability of karmic or is also terrifying. You're really good. Oh, yeah, we played them
They did this to us so we fought fire with fire which did it back to them
We just gotta get the demos going and they didn't have to deal with this, you know easy game rock-a-link, you know
It's it is but I mean we're talking as well when fury have beaten the team previously
Typically they then go on and they might lose that next series that happened here again
And we were saying in the green room Farah, he's gonna learn that playbook
He's like, oh, well, we've seen how you beat us before in the best of five.
Well, now you've shown your hand.
We know what to do.
Of course, these teams are eliminated.
It just comes down to that seeding.
But they've earned themselves another life so far.
Casey, incredibly vital to the rest of the makeup of the entire tournament.
Oh, certainly just from the mental, the one team that they lost to in Swiss.
Getting that revenge right now.
I think this K-Court team, you know, Stubby, I actually love your pick to have them win it all.
I think a lot of people at the beginning of the year would have picked that along with.
with it wouldn't have been crazy, but now you know how things have played out with
the recent struggles. A lot of people weren't thinking that K court still had
it, but I think what we saw from at toe in particular is that this team has
depth. Every single one of those pieces are so threatening. I mean the question
has never been are the individual members of KC at their peak?
Pivot at the World Championship? The obvious answer is yes. The thing that
made them the clear favorites at the beginning of the year was their
consistency, which is the thing that clearly demonstrated they lost at some point.
So there's a lot of trust that needs to be earned back here, I feel like,
for people who aren't members of the Blue Wall.
But still, we are talking about Falcons and G2, top two teams here.
And now it's Keiko.
That's the three Cs.
Like, right there with them, they're going to get a rematch against the Falcons as well.
So we'll see if they play it out.
We're also about to see, I think, maybe that shot right there.
Now we're going to get to the L40.
It's so close.
First, we're even from the LPC.
I mean, it's these players where they won those first three qualifiers for major one, and then they just didn't perform as well as they wanted to at the Copenhagen major and then they fell apart.
Atto was the big signing in the offseason, bringing him into an established rise of a tier of duo. He then couldn't get it done with that team.
This is now finally, again, in hallowed ground it feels like for him to have a chance by just cement and say, yes, I was the right pick because that Belgian has got pressure on him.
He was and I'm actually curious to hear what CJ's got for us doing a little bit of
Telestration break down that coming for win for CJ.
Thanks guys. Yes, I know that K-Corp will be stoked with that win. But the question that everyone should be asking is do we have teams that are good enough to topple G2 and Falcons?
Yes, can we get teams that are better than these top two? Are they going to be able to win it?
That's what K-Corp are looking for. I think there's still a couple of things that K-Corp can work on.
We're going to roll this first clip here. And as we see it's a counter attack goal conceded by the blue wall.
And what happens? It's an overcommit in the offense. You can see Atto throwing himself in third man Furia straight down the other end for the goal
We talked about K-Corp's tournament rust
I think there's still a couple of things they can work on here as we through as we look at the overhead shot
You can see right now with Vittira and rise. This is first and second man. These guys are so close
What does that mean? Atto? He's on an island
He wants to go in because he doesn't want to be left last man
That means he's got all this space that he has to control by himself
So as we roll the clip you can see the vatira commits atto throws himself as well
They've all gone no one back in time rise in vatira both rotating back
Simultaneously leads to an open net and it actually happens in the exact or in the very next game another goal can see that another
Counterattack goal from fury and it happens again. You see vatira
You can see rise first and second man just way too close atto
He's the same man again third man, and he just wants to get in he doesn't want to be left last
forces him to commit because of how close Vitira is on this play. As we roll the clip again, you can see what happens.
Vitira goes second man, Atso throws himself in. It means that Vitira has to track all the way back to that corner boost.
He's too slow to challenge, lost with the counter attack goal.
So it's just another play here as we see it from the replay. They need a tight hit is up K-Corp.
They've got obviously Falcons coming up next. If they do this again, if they over commit second man,
they're gonna get cut apart by Falcons. So still a couple of things to work on for K-Corp.
I'm sure that fair will be on to that and they can really improve going into this next one
You know the top teams they don't do it you G2s your Falcons and your chalk casts so take up you can work on that
All right, we're gonna definitely do some illustration of the show match later. Oh, yeah ever have a triple commit the front
Surely it won't happen there. Yeah, I'm sure see I'm sure fair is sitting in the back watching the illustration right now
Oh, yeah, okay, cool. Yeah
We don't do that in our next match, but yeah, they're playing Falcons later on
What a matchup that's gonna be is we take a look at our brackets here carmen court
Do you punch their ticket through to the playoff bracket?
Which means we only have one more tiebreaker to go here James BDS taking on feria. Oh, yeah
And I mean this could be a situation where feria
Could be in danger of losing three straight series in a row and be out of the event because team BDS
I mean they are no team to to sleep on. Oh, yeah, we just saw them win
EWC and it looks like exotic is playing maybe the best he's played in quite some time
So this is a very dangerous BDS team and now BDS. I feel like has a small advantage
We used to do the first four world championships the upper bracket final
They would have to immediately play in the lower bracket final those teams were one and three when they played back to back when they had
to lose and then play again.
So momentum, it's negative momentum now for Furia.
So they have to be ready.
They have to regroup over this next 10 minutes
and get ready for this match.
Well, congratulations to CarmenCore.
We will see them play a little bit later on today.
For now, Furia, they got to go back and relack,
re-rack, reload, get ready for round two, folks.
They're coming right back onto the stage
to take on a team with World Championship Pedigree.
BDS will be on the stage against Furia after this.
for our interview with the insurance whistleblower.
I just think everyone should know
there's an insurance company out there
exposing other companies' rates
so you can compare them and save.
It sounds like trouble.
It's great, actually.
It's called AutoPort Explorer for Progressive.
Here, look.
See, we show you our direct rates and their rates,
even if we're not the lowest.
So whistleblower usually means
you're exposing something bad.
I've had them calling attention to something helpful.
You know, like, check it out.
This thing's the best.
No?
This is the opportunity, the breathing that you set upon yourself.
Here we go.
Round one of championship Saturday and the books here, round two just around the corner
and one team having to mentally prepare after a loss to take the stage again.
Carmen Gore able to get the victory over Fyria and now Fyria will have to take on
another French Titan here in BDS.
Welcome back to Fort Worth folks.
We are getting closer and closer to crowning a new Rocket League world champion.
We'll do that tomorrow.
It'll be another momentous occasion.
The fact that the vitality is out.
I was talking with Space Station yesterday in Chicago.
He's been doing it.
He's one of the few players that's been doing this since before the open era.
He's like, man, I'm just so excited.
We're going to crown a new world champion tomorrow.
It's going to be fun, man.
It's going to be like we could have a two time champion or something like that.
But no matter what, we will get the best top four of you have ever gotten.
Yeah, two life system. It's gonna be all right. So if you go 3 0 or 3 1 here you get that extra life
But you still gotta win the games and we saw
But yesterday we had the bottom 11 teams playing and it was fantastic roughly
We didn't even have the top five on stage now we get them over these next two days
It's gonna be a blast. I feel like that there used to be a time where you're like her
You're like, oh, just skip the beginning of Friday
Don't have to show up for these matches like you're literally missing some of the best matches if you don't show for all of it
Oh, yeah, anybody that wasn't here yesterday
I feel so sorry for you that you didn't get to experience all the craziness that went out in the morning
But no, it's it's like you said as time has gone on we've all said it the gap is closing
So every single match no matter what part of the bracket you're in is now just as interesting as what the top is
Shows the evolution as well the fact that last year's world champions
There's three same players they have a team that are out at the end of Swiss as well
So everyone else around them has been moving forwards and I continue to do so absolutely
Well, we have again many many brackets this format continues to evolve here
We played through the Swiss over the first three days and now we have gotten through we got most of our team seated here
Into our playoffs. It's time to get those last two spots filled in tiebreaker for there in that
Qualification final top and then call tiebreaker five there in the elimination final here in that elimination final
You are on your last life you play that match you lose your story at the world championship end
So this match so important
You're mentally preparing to go into battle once again
And at this point both these teams that they do have two lives right because if they lose this
they're down to one no matter what if they win this they still have two lives
until that top four playoff bracket then everyone's back down to one life but
Furia they're coming off a loss they have to play back-to-back and again but
I'll reiterate we used to do this in the first four world championships it'd be
the upper final loser would play back-to-back they were one and three so
momentum is not on their side whatever happens so there will be a big
debate depending on how Furia do here it's advantageous or is it just
the worst thing in the world to lose and then have to play again
straight away out to personally I would be opinion if I lose I'd rather get
straight back home with it yeah but at the same time they had their equal
opportunity versus cake work right and they faltered there so BDS they only get
the one life here in this tiebreaker so they get a small advantage and I think
that's worth it I think so too I also you know going back to you know is it
you know difficult to come into something after losing I think you
know for a team like Furia it actually is more motivating they are extremely
emotional, extremely passionate, I think we see a different version.
But this is also a different team.
Yeah.
I feel like I feel like I feel like this is out of the out of the frying pan into
the fire here going from Karmicord of BDS, the reigning major champ or major
rating land champions here.
They won the most recent in person event in Rocket League and they've got a
lot of momentum in this event so far.
They have for sure.
I mean, team BDS, they're never a team that you want to come up against
at any point.
And now the world championship, they have this habit of starting an event poorly
BDS and if they start poorly they tend to finish poorly but they started this one well
They're looking at themselves. It's a worrying thing here for Furia
And I'm confident BDS in that fear I can change that in instant. Yeah, BDS played great so far through our tournament
They only lost to the Falcons who are the number one team it feels like here
So you can't fault the Furia as well though
They're only lost was against Falcons until they just played k-corp. So both these teams look like top four caliber teams
That's why we play tiebreaker because we can have four up there and we already have cake or so yeah
And I'm just I wonder how the players feel about this one because usually this far into the tournament perk everything is an elimination match
And the weirdly we have this kind of like pocket dimension of the tiebreakers where like yeah
You can play and you can lose and it just kind of means that your
History timeline changes, but you're not like out of the tournament. Yeah, this is I mean a lot of these teams
I've talked to them about it before privately and I asked like you know
does every single match freak you guys out like it is the end and they're pretty much like yeah you
have to play everything like this is the last opportunity that you have so that's how you know
when it starts to get really emotional and things get a little bit different these are two of probably
the top two emotional teams out there i mean it's been said and seen before monkey moon obviously
extremely involved in a way that most people honestly aren't he lets his emotions be worn on
his sleeve i don't think that's a bad thing by any mean and on the flip side of things you
You got fury they will yell in your face. They'll throw the L dance up at you
And they'll make you feel a little bad as things start to go out of your way
Both of them play a very different mental game like you said, so it could affect it
I mean the rocket league is becoming a game that is played at the mental level more than the mechanical level at this point
Yeah, there's so many players this level can do anything they want on the pitch
It's just a matter of can they do it on the stage when the pressure is on the line
Do they know how to not not control their emotions because I think most of the times they're trying to control their emotions
the emotions that I'm controlling you have to manage. It's a symbiotic relationship. They
have to like figure out some players they need to cry. They just need to let the emotion
out and then they're good. Some players have a smaller emotional range and it's more like
it's okay. We're just going to sit here. I'll be all right. We'll talk about it later
with my emotions or something like that. And utilizing as well. Having that emotion,
feeling it, going with it and allowing that to make you play more expressive, expressive
rocket league or allowing that to make you get in the base of your opponents. So
I think the fury are gonna be a lot more likely to do than team BDS
Team BDS to me aren't the team that are gonna be really standing up and getting furious faces
But they will have to deal with that if you're a get a couple goals on the board
And the hardest part is pouring all your energy out there for every single match because these teams
No matter winner or loser playing again later today fury
Yeah, has already had a pour out so much energy versus K4 BDS is their first match. Will that matter?
It's more about managing that energy
Yeah, and we said you know like it while this match is not an elimination match if you lose this match the next match
You're playing later today is an elimination match
So super important for them and we are waiting on the players to be ready to go here
We'll get into that game as soon as we can. Let's take a look at the schedule
We're gonna be playing over the course of the rest of the day
We got these timebreaker matches and then we got the beginning of the playoffs as well as a special thing there in
The middle after this one first touch on the field against chalked cast
It's it's the long-waited rivalry that everyone's been hoping for finally settled on a pitch the mental warfare that we've seen in that green room by
Johnny boy directed at t-beats has been insane
I mean ask me to say these players first touch and short capable of doing anything in Rocket League was of course
Some incredible freestyle players. I've got my arm a certain Johnny boy
We know what he's capable of with the KVM, but how can he handle it stepping out there introduced by stacks?
You know everything is full pressure. Oh, I don't know
I think some of them I think it goes back to what give said this has been a week long mental game
It has mainly your fourth first touch. I don't think shot cast is affected by it at all
They're the ones making fun of them
I'd that'd be like a serious inferior just hanging out in the same room every day, and they're just yelling at each other the whole time
That's what they've been doing. I think I think no matter what you're guaranteed to see something
You've never seen an RLC a stage before in that matchup. It might be the most flagrant on goal
you've ever seen it. We need it. We need it not top five. We need it not top five. I'm excited.
I hope we get into it. But before we get to that match, a match that literally actually matters here,
BDS taking on Fiora Europe and France amazingly versus South America and Brazil
area having to bounce back after that loss quickly. BDS has been waiting and preparing in the wings.
Team BDS are here to play. They have won it on this very stage. Monkey Moon has won it on this
very stage. They've had some poor lams but I just don't get the vibes from BDS
Gibbs. This is gonna be one of them. Joralee's a rookie in the last two
world championship teams. Had a rookie on it as well so maybe that is what you
need. You need someone that doesn't like know what's gonna happen throughout
this tournament and just play to the leaders like Monkey Moon who has a
world championship title in this arena. It's gonna be BDS. They have all the
momentum right now. They have to capitalize on it. Oh yeah everything
that's what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the way that
the players are doing it
realistically is in their favor
even on paper. It is in the
favor of videos there and
they're coming into it,
knowing we are the favorites
on this. And like you said,
having players that haven't
quite experienced as much as
others like one thing, for
example, it could be a good
thing. But yes, love it.
Exotic draw late. This is
my player to watch, though.
All eyes are going to be
on drawing in this one. How
you perform. He's my
Sizing that London Demon and Charlie was totally impactful as that and I mean
That's you in a bad coach either way fuck never missing an RCS event. That's not a bad record. That's that's pretty
That's pretty impressive stuff there, too
He's got some experience as a player as well Furia though
They had a moment back a stage to prepare for this and now back here the momentum that they have just from being on the stage
Even in a loss hopefully gonna help carry them into a strong game number one here
But I mean, was there a single player
that you feel like you're comfortable with coming out
of that first series against?
Honestly, I'm not comfortable with any of them
because loss was doing a lot of the offensive work.
But then the two big mistakes in game four
might mess up his mental game.
So we'll see if he can bounce back from it.
I assume they can.
These guys are world caliber players.
They deserve to be in that top four race.
And I think they can bounce back from it.
Again, I talked about it.
The early years of Rocket League is when teams couldn't
bounce back from that losing momentum.
But we've played eight years from now on.
These guys have battled so often.
They're so, so good.
I mean, Yan is perhaps a missed point.
South America's most successful player,
and he is the key right here for Fury.
He has to excel.
He has to score some solo plays.
He has to take his team on his back.
Around him, they can rally.
But if he's not his absolute best, this is so difficult.
And the last match, he didn't score a goal yet.
So that's the pop-off thing.
They need game one yand to hit a really nice double snap. They all pop off all that energy is back on their set
I mean notably Riffin you didn't kiss his ring and smile at us
I feel like he's the that which I hopefully means he's locked in on a new level
But it could also mean he's just not quite in the same groovy was that I don't know
Let us know what you think at home is BDS gonna take this one hashtag BDS
You think fury is able to bounce back with the hashtag f you are
Herk, how you feel about this one? This is one. I was actually going back and forth on this even in the shuttle
asking me what my answer was and I just I could not decide but last second you know
I said to myself I love a passionate team
I love high-level emotions that are gonna drive you forward and furia has all of that
I can't not go with them. Okay, BDS is the first game in front of this crowd as well
So you gotta keep that in mind, but I'm gonna go with the numbers
I always do I'm gonna go with BDS here
I think they have about the momentum with the negative momentum from the opposite side of furia
It's BDS will win this I agree if just completely the crowd could do all they like but monkey moon is the greatest of the open era
For a reason a serial winner will be feeling mode now. So it's all here on this stage
Fury have been playing within themselves at times if they do that for a second BDS to get a strike
Think BDS has got this one as well fury
I could be playing an uphill battle of carming core was too much of a wall BDS is a stronger one here
But fury they've made of champions
The funny is they don't know they don't know that they're booing me
It might have been a boing them you guys are cheering for fury here. They're gonna take this one down
How's the coin feel about it though? We got fury on one side got BDS on the other. Oh
My goodness it landed on top of my hand, but that does go for BDS here BDS
And the coin has been very wrong so the crowd can be happy about that. It's also been very booed. I feel for this
Controlling anything but luckily it does not have emotions. So it whoa
It's okay. It told me that and in confidence. I don't understand this and say I could say it on a desk
I don't know folks we're making up lore about the coin as we go folks BDS the favorites and chat the favorites on the desk
Are they the favorites on the pitch time for fury to prove us all wrong folks the champions that won their world championship here in
Fort Worth back on the stage for the first time taken on a team that's been here before and trying to prove us all wrong
Fury versus BDS
You're like here in Dickies Arena
And we are up for a little bit of Asia Vue, BDS, a team that won their world championship
here in Dickies versus Furia, who came here as those underdogs taking down Moise, now wanting
to get through in a tiebreaker for the preferential match and two lives in our playoff bracket.
And underdog, it wants to be a top dog, but it has two of the most lethal offenses
we could have here.
But it's a kickoff where Exotic is just quicker than jam.
Furia, gonna wake up and tell the coffee.
That may well be a little bit of a Tony setup if we get one goal in two seconds.
It's no problem for BDS, they kick us off incredibly early.
Another kickoff is over to go quite as well for them, they're not scored in two.
But with the immediate offense, it's going to call in a lot of that defensive play.
And so far probably a bit furious, have been absolutely astounding.
Defensively, they've made sure not to put too many shots towards on their own goal.
Rather had lot of shots towards them than they saved almost all of them away.
We saw the player look earlier on versus Carmencourt.
They didn't show us what they really had though.
One player in particular lacking.
Yeah, like Jan had a quieter series against K-Corbin.
Now you have to play this back-to-back.
It's not like the other days of this event,
but Austin, yeah, trying to bulldoze their way to that midfield.
Drawly picks it up.
Trefino with an early 50, a pop-up to buy some time.
Fury will stabilize.
Yeah, we want him to succeed.
You want to see that and the man that ended up
ending the dreams of moist a couple of years ago
in the World Championships.
And the crowd here very clearly pulling for Furia.
Not too many EU fans in the crowd, but we'll see what happens towards the grand final
if G2 end up taking on a European Superteam.
One minute through, that one goal from two seconds in, still standing at Monke Moon.
And G2 cut down that pass, picks a boost and clears it long into the midfield.
But Exhaust is not quite enough.
He's packed down towards loss, sends it to Charlie again.
Just both teams passing it between each other.
Two up for that however.
Exhaust on the backboard has to do an intelligent play,
an intelligent play he does.
Yeah, Furia want to swarm them, especially after that double come in with the demo on the drawly.
Furia put on the press, it's in with the bouncer, Lost is engaging, Drafino collects.
And Furia with pressure and midfield and used to spare, Lost getting passed, exotic, great 55, Drafino.
When it's Furia that keeps them trapped, no Drafino has to go up high for this.
Drafino with a breach up, Hukimono's with a gap there, but it's not on target.
And you know what you mentioned, Lost, he was the player. Firstly, a Furious tournament so far,
We saw that as well in London.
It's also been that player that showed up versus Casey.
Unfortunately, there's two teammates,
one point there alongside him.
Yeah, and a target.
Brother shot on target.
Slices across the box.
And on that intercept on the place,
sent along by that BDS player on the back line.
Down with a great dunk, pulls back down to loss.
It goes to ball, goes for the man.
The two back on defense will keep this game on BDS's side.
I like under the mind game that Lasz was playing.
We'll see what he can do up high with Wings, yeah.
by his side on the wing. When do you need me, bud?
And this is BDS. Breaking herge.
If Beedle's been reliable on the back end,
Furia haven't left any gaps.
Let's see. Exotic and Yann to the ceiling.
Lost.
Well, did get the Beedle monkey moon.
Well, Furia are just with the clear.
And I think they're stealing booth.
They're getting devils. They're being productive.
Another double commit by BDS.
Well, Furia, can they take advantage?
See this pressure starts to build with Furia.
There's nothing coming through.
And then just goes to prove the theory
that we've been looking at throughout this tournament so far, where BDS scored one, so far they win by one.
It's quite a risk goal, and normally they win by two, three goals,
they score three or four per game when they do end up winning,
then they are shut out frequently when they lose.
So a couple more goals, they will be on the cards in BDS.
That was a high-off target, but Trefino defensively keeping Furia safe.
And BDS are also comfortable still being up a goal.
It's Furia that has to still search for the equalizer,
and Monkey Moon's getting good beats now on the defense.
Trolley can't get a hand up.
Yan and Drafino lacking booze.
We'll see what lost, what space he can make on the front lines.
BDS gets their wires crossed to be when their backs
are against the wall, but they haven't given up
anything to fury up.
Since Altie wanted to push back down into the back corner,
Yan with one exotic arc won't get that second touch
off the back of Monkey Moon.
And Trolley with a continued pressure.
Mrs. DeVall nearly hits Truffle on the back wall.
Very low on booze, not for BDS pushing though.
There's a couple of seconds. Ah-ha, we're gonna be benefiting BDS.
Monk makes a shot on Tar, get Regulation saved for Yan.
And we see the pressure as it builds for BDS, Feria.
They need to push out of their own half as soon as they can.
Feria just can't take any control of the center of the midfield.
They're trying to side, they can't take it up high without an immediate 50 on the dribble coming in.
Monkey Moon with a 50 and Stoles out down low.
Drolley takes advantage, takes the boost, and he's got a ball.
loss to Fiora figuring out who should go up high, to Fiora with more boost uses all of it and BDS are
forcing decisions even if the ball isn't going past the net this time in court. Fiora so far their
defense has been the same as that happened throughout the entire tournament. BDS only broken
through by one now on the offense one to a reset yeah. Can't watch that one, can't watch that one!
As we are bathe in goal, Fiora equalize first BDS. Now this is a typical Fiora offense
were used to look at all the spades in the air that they had to go for that long of a pass.
The whole field was theirs.
Now 26 seconds, we have a tie.
But who gets the last laugh in game one?
First, it's Keria that collected the ball with no boost.
BDS went for resources.
Exotic goes for the backboard.
Does Manchester push a player out of the way, giving possession fast to BDS?
Drawling pulls out a defender, a pass to Drawling and lucky Muffin.
Muffin lost and again in the net.
It's an underlow shot though, still be forcing one demo, one save.
Now it's Yan trying to bump one.
If he got it, he'd go dryly out the way, would have been gold for them.
Chance on the right-hand side, he's ulting up with boost.
He's got 20, gets over Yan, the batboard is covered by last.
Drops by Monkey Moon, overtime.
Game one in our tiebreaker.
A big bounce back for Furia at the last second,
but especially after just coming off of a loss.
BDS, comfortable, and Yan didn't go for the ball.
He wanted to bump Monkey Moon, didn't make contact.
That was a chance for lost.
Good awareness from BDS monkey moon though time in space just wanting to drop the sob
Meanwhile exotic is in the box for a pass, but couldn't get the good job
Man defensive one thing to push it out stay behind the ball, but not really enough boosts continuing going
No, let's get a nice dunk. You've been here with more than enough to be a nuisance in the backline loss
Just about target
Second
BDS strong so close. Oh now's your videos chance round two
But to the side so close to the ball didn't get enough of a bounce on it and trying to close through but it's really just
Every down BDS forcing them to be scared
The crossbar then to be to get mechanics out for that one scared away
But yeah, don't keep on one month in awkward has to clear first feeling here's the job
Here's the boost nose is getting called into action and BDS now under pressure from Furia
Here we have no boost to work with you even that time to collect it here's trolley the quickest transition out of BDS
Here you take time to breathe and look at the antisurbing this backline a shot from Javino
Double commitment from BDS, but where's the ball from here? This is the time to keep pressing
But trolley always plays downfield, but it's not a great time. Just not a lot of moves, the monkey can't get the double
Just above the top right corner of the net, finally we see some BDS pressure, Monument
are with more than enough, House feeds one but loss is going to be there for the recovery.
We saw that yesterday, whenever they get a chance, there's going to be another player
behind a shot against top corner.
With Fury and their defense, it's that two headed Hydra, you have to beat two to get
anything through the monkey mood midfield up high onto the ceiling, Trefino to dunk,
free jumps, high pressure from Fury to shut down BDS's offense.
Both teams are going for free jumps, you know you have to beat them down!
The shark rises from the ground as he swipes,
drawly out of the way.
Furia, game number one going their way,
seemingly not letting that KC loss settle in their minds.
This is not the first time we've seen Furia look like they
want to keep pushing the ball, playing it tight.
They actually just completely let go of the ball
and go for the physical play.
And I thought there was going to be a second man.
No, he was able to recollect the ball and score it.
in that 1v1, Trufino shines also with both goals in that game.
And we see in the mode 1, hype for once replay.
BDS, they're going to hit in two seconds off that kickoff.
And in this play, you see as soon as Trufino has that ball go past,
Charlie can't get out of his way whatsoever, tries to snag, tries to pivot.
Trufino is there, hot on his tail.
And it's no problem for Furia in the end as game number one, 11.
clearly going their way. BDS we said they need a couple of goals to score to make
sure they go ahead in the series or in the game rather they couldn't secure it in
the first. BDS were really good at shutting down the midfield initially you
couldn't get any kind of aerials you couldn't dribble across the field
whatsoever if you were Furia and that's the bread and butter of their
offense but something happened at the second half of that game one where a
lot more time was afforded to Furia and maybe it was a mix of what was
happening off the ball and that gave time for Fiora to make that happen. In a 1v1 situation,
we go to game 2 if you're up.
Game number 2, an opportunity to BDS try and get this equalizer. Bear in mind nobody going home.
If it loses this, they just go down into the low-up bracket, they'll face off against
PlayStation Gaming. The winner has the pleasure of taking your G2. You'll be thinking,
well, you know, realistically, we'll go for SSG then. No, no, no, no. Don't want that.
You've only got one life if you lose this series.
Those two are gonna be so vital up until the semis.
But along clear from the backboard,
it's gonna be maybe symbolic of this series
for BDS so close yet so far.
Yeah, the bumps of physicality
has been really good out of Furia.
And their defense has been standing tall.
That's once a weakness at the last major.
It's a long pass to loss.
And BDS being more aware of this,
as we set the tone here in game two
with Furia still having fire in their belly
fight losing the K-Corp. We'll have to face another European right here against BDS and so far so good.
Theoretically a better European team as well. BDS, they've attended these majors. K-Corp
and absolutely implosion, an exception to the rule but still an implosion nonetheless.
It's still going the instant card if they worked at a factory, it's something that we really
need to look into. Lost takes out one of the ghosts for the dish. Pinched away the other
side, but lost. He is continuing that form up, rather the form that we've seen him on
the entire World Championships.
Oh, and Azadek just almost faked a double there and pushed his loss.
Mokimore has to go up early, however, there's a third man that was a risk and he lands back down to Earth with
Fiora hunting for the ball. Gervinio with the game-winner with both goals actually for Fiora.
Fiora becoming more of a triple threat team than just the Yan with the plan.
And speaking of that, he has to go against Exotic, but he had more boost and man, now 50s against Joralee, Trevino struggling too.
This is where BDS can apply that pressure.
They're talking about that triple threat and BDS to me, they sum it up the most.
And number three, number two, number four in so many of these key offensive stats, only really behind Falcons and behind G2.
Two teams, but I think it's quite an apt place to sit behind at the top of this tournament.
BDS coming off winning, of course, that AWC, the East Force World Cup.
And offensively putting up those numbers making sure that they have gone chances.
And it comes through from Daphino. It's the one.
Doesn't even flip that, my friends.
It's a pure, unadulterated, doing masterclass.
The Triforce of South America. You cannot let them connect the dots like that, Yuria.
You've got to catch them before.
Now lost.
Just going to feed this to Monkeyman. You have no other choice.
He's got a 14, and he has to use so much of me just to get a few inches going against an open pass!
The five balloons that come out as BDS get their first goal in a century.
They came in a half of scoring two seconds in the first.
It's a lovely touch from Drowley. Just keeps those notes and stuff just coming.
Throws off Furious defense.
BDS, they draw us level.
It's going to be interesting to see whether they can stop building on that pressure that they've earned.
they've earned, cause Fiora, they've been putting their defense on bad demo,
up bumping them back.
Raleigh clears it away, lost to Nina May Kota whether he's seen
Japhiria awarded with the shot.
Fiora got to be careful of their challenge game too,
because Japhiria went flying, and that's what caused the open med.
But when they have time on the ball, that's when Fiora is their
most faithful, but BDS, they're getting comfortable dues.
And confident at that, even without boost, they're still trying to make ways.
And they were trying to steal Surya's boost as a matter of loss will make it work no matter what.
Joralee has the backflip, slow it down, got Surya on the reach, reads in double no, Mucky Maroon on!
Joralee takes it on the bump on Yan too, could make it successful so exotic.
The third man was not quite able to find his way in.
Joralee now right wing misses, falls to him and committed to midfield.
Again Joralee, wanting to push up that right hand side, isn't able to.
The blocks being from Surya and that stunning catch from loss is going to shut down BDS in their tracks.
And the ball flew back down and lost.
He has a mulling and a bumps trolley on the ball.
Here comes Trevino.
So I get more defenses.
BDS save.
Yan, round two.
No, 50's down.
BDS have real estate to work with.
Well man, Pyrrha has them in field.
They're okay with giving space to BDS
and work on their half.
Exotics looking for bumps.
Lost to the side.
Beautiful read.
Look to the side, beautiful read.
I think he can give up a little bit of space,
but maybe going for a shared message from Furia.
It's not going to quite be the play.
A pinch going above the crossbar.
Who's it next for the dead?
Let's go!
In front of the Nads, an exotic drive to make contact.
And Furia had already swarmed the Nads.
It's too little, too late.
Furia will rise at the last second from the dead.
Two-one with a lead, with less than a minute.
No, he's not having enough booze,
but he's just trying to flick it up while
Get the defense rolling here, it's exotic dropping to Monkey Moon, great read from Lost, but he runs into Drowly, again will collect, Lost trying to run into Drowly, and Furia have them on the press.
And Exotic removes Lost in the situation, Tali knows he's a threat, Tali with a fake tries to go for the 50 down below Lost, on the respawn, final 30, Furia, Charles attempts to go 2-0, I've been a series Monkey Moon, and that right-hand side flicks it up behind, but
Trefino with a pre-jump is only blocked out by Drowley again.
Yann is also trying to cut their rotations.
Anything to destructure BDS.
One of the most fearsome units in Europe.
But how do they respond at the last second?
Yann both does it.
Semi-final for the one up at the top.
Trefino!
It was kept up for 30 odd seconds.
Amazing play from them, but even greater from Furry.
Multiple times in that zero seconds.
Yann keeps it up high.
He got one block, followed it down, tried to go for another block, another dunk.
They're still Fury, they take the game.
One more, and they go through a fourth seed into our playoffs.
What a composed team of Fury are two, a deficit,
coming off of a loss against K-Court to go against BDS, who, like you said,
is a, I guess, technically more fearsome team.
Coming off of the winner, EWC, they're a world champion, Fury are one game away
from sweeping them and giving themselves an easier time tomorrow.
It's a chance here for BDS.
What can Casio say to the boys?
I was going to be on the cards for them.
In terms of how BDS play right now, this is not it.
They are not all putting up the numbers that they need to.
As I was saying, offensively, they have been stunning.
Shots for game, they're number three.
Goals for game, they're number two.
Number four in shooting percentage, shooting nearly 30 percent.
One in three of their goals.
near enough finding its way in.
They do exceed a lot of goals, and Furia, they're taking advantage of that.
I want to see him get up and put up the L again.
That was so funny last major, but...
We love the trash talking.
BDS, they're keeping the door closed about a hard sweep.
The game that they own, 1-2, the side post.
Finished by D'Raleigh.
Wonderful play from M.M., but we saw what they've done with this early lead before.
They've been out-pressing outplayed. They haven't continued that press.
Furia, they know the job is from here.
BDS, it's their chance to make sure that does not happen again.
And Furia are being more aware of the kick-offs from BDS
because that's what caught him completely off guard
in the very first stall of the series.
It's Monkey Moon with a fake. All three of BDS are in the offensive third.
They've got to be careful!
Don't risk it at all!
There's Yan with a triple loss.
The fake against Monkey Moon. Trolley runs into him at the corner.
Fiora, which is so scary to go up against when they're up in your face but loss will have to retreat.
Yan won't let her up in BDS defense. That's not a good touch. You're being exotic.
This could land in front of the match and force it to save.
Just high. Can't quite get that touch, can Yan.
One, two, Charles Adrali on the reset the second time, but again,
just a little bit of quality lacking on those final touches and lost.
This piece truly being that map for Fury in this series of the entire tournament so far, but a block comes through high.
Lost into the corner, continues on that press.
Monkey in backwards, so we're going to turn around too far on this, since your video identifies his positioning.
Takes advantage of the pressure for Fury of Mills.
Adrali and NNN, they link up to keep it on that left-hand side of Bob now. Attempts coming through.
Right now we're seeing BDS. See how well Fury have done with the offense, and he's off to get particular.
He's taking that mentality.
One to turn me to Furia from the pitch.
Yeah, BDS are relying on really good mechanics.
Well, Furia is a bit more demo heavy,
and especially early support on the offense.
The BDS have them exactly where they want.
It's funky with the double.
Yeah, reads it like a book.
BDS have slowed down the game,
but out of pace, the Furia can keep up with.
And BDS just can't sit around this net,
the ball on the net.
And Furia are going for demos.
So BDS eventually this is going to run out of gas.
Yann up for one, attempts to bump, does get it!
Gets a move from the pizza!
Assists that one from the grave.
Exotic make contact, but just the softest little piss that just dropped the ball where Furia wanted it.
And again, then it will remove you by force.
And this ties things up.
An early kick off too, Yann will collect the corner and won't have the ball, but just getting VDS to take it on the backboard.
This is about BDS exonerated trolley.
No, yeah, it is too quick.
See, now, yeah, and Keith's smashing into the defense.
And this is Monkuma not getting a hand up, but no immediate follow-up from Puria.
They're playing a safer backline.
The Spirits defense suffered at last majors, but they've improved so much on that end.
BDS not expecting this, having double-digit shots and barely putting up any goals
compared to all the other opponents they faced.
Still tied.
See a lot of quick shots going through Exotic,
passing back towards Monke Moon.
Does get intercepted very handily by Yan with 30 boosts.
It's an opportunity for him to keep pushing down,
but again, to shy away from the ball,
neither team wants to take any massive risks right here,
but risks win championships.
Two back, Perfurea, BDS,
just waiting, good patience from Exotic,
but Monke Moon was getting locked up by Yan,
bumped off the play, and BDS can't connect.
He's pounding that ball, stays awkward, make sure that nobody on BDS knows where he is and Yan, perfect positioning, Furia with a lead.
Furia, it's just so fast, it's hard to keep up with it, even off kickoff, BDS back, and Trolley demoed very soon, Nixzog needs to buy time, Monkey Moon has it.
back, look at Trafenio, swing it for the benches, lost over extended, and now everyone's ready to get to it!
Come on, mustyboot gets back in time!
These opportunities to fury there on mounting, and BDS again, they had that early lead!
They may well last one slip, and they still have chances.
Trafenio with low boost, goes to get Monkemin out of the way,
removing from the path of resistance exotic.
Monkemin licking over the right-hand side, but lost good part with boost.
The pitch central from Monkemin again, shut down by lost.
Where isn't he?
BDS can't even go for a first touch up the pole without Furia running into them.
This must be so frustrating.
Furia are a swarm of bees and they stink pretty hard.
And it's Exotic and Drowly with a delayed touch.
He has to see the count!
The double tap pass coming through is all Drowly on this.
It's the one there, then the second one completely flummoxing Drewfoe.
Exotic sends him behind the final defender.
Lost is in pretty much everywhere,
apart from Drowly behind him.
They can't drop back in time and get there to all game three.
Fury, with this one, they go through, face cheating.
I think BDS is starting to realize that they can slow it down, but to the point of their life!
You look at this individual brilliance, the moment!
That's what Worlds is about, an exotic, that was your moment right there.
Plot out of the sky, taken from a dream.
Team EDS now leads.
Fury, I gotta be on duty right when kickoff happens.
BDS just keeps surprising them.
Lars with the huge ball of throwing.
Yeah, with a double attempt.
Not enough, but he will steal the corner boost.
And Lars will keep BDS busy.
Still more chance than Fury.
They are flying through.
We've not seen them concede a goal.
They lose the lead, and they're not taking that lead.
Straight back again.
Lost challenge with one.
It's this back corner.
They are all in that back corner.
Exhausting and instrumental clear.
Just been pure defense from BDS. Will it be enough to keep the lead?
Joralee's not Joraphina, we're getting the ball and he's still in the middle of the game!
Kick off before we get there.
It's gonna be a double corner, straight in, drop down, let's do it all again.
BDS were bunkering down and Furia sent the whole R&O G.
It was Furia last time, and now that kickoff is over with.
BDS have to come up with Plan B.
The fakes really worked out for them before, but Furia can't get away with solo boosts.
BDS have no time to really assess the situation against the busty of the monkey ball to the side!
Plus three, 10 points and get a good shot on there!
I mean, that busty was so terrifying for the defense.
You see what Joyo can do with him, let alone where Fury makes to get their hands on it.
And the right-hand side, we're now seeing BDS, they can't work their way out of ground pitch,
not around the side of the monkey moon.
Yan is central, lost, looked away from the ball.
No intent of it conceding any more shots here, but a long-chance loss is gonna find his lead back.
Not into the underboost, however. Now BDS can flip the script.
In loss, but no boost. He's still helping this difference. Hang on, but hang on.
It's exotic on the ball. He's made so many plays happen before.
Here's Trolley. Larry Knot!
The open air secures one game against South America's greatest.
Team EDS take it to 4, but it was sketchy. It was wobbly at the end.
The EDS, they're a great chance for them just to show Lemon that they have still got that kind of quality.
Where, okay, we're down, we're down by 2, they scored at 1 second, we cannot let that get too far into our mental.
BDS, they got creative to get to this point.
The solo plays from Monkey Moon, exotic,
and then supporting each other,
but needing it to do a bit quicker,
because furious defense like no other,
forcing a second overtime.
And we go to another game,
but do BDS still have what it takes
to keep this series extended?
I mean, all of these games so far,
that just come down to a single goal. Game one that overtime, a two-minute overtime,
won by Fury. Game two, a two-one again, but this one, four-three in favour of BDS.
You do just see both teams fighting tooth and nail down for last second, lost on the goal line,
thinking, I need to even just get a touch here. They may well hit zero, and then we don't have
an opportunity. You might just, you know, land on the floor, then BDS takes the game.
They took the game in the end, but positioning was extraordinary from him.
And we look at the aggression that so far BDS, they've not been able to deal with perfectly.
And they're getting bumped out of the way, it's come all for them.
But they're learning as we go through the series, and I'm sure Furia are going to continue to put on that kind of press in Game 4.
And BDS, if they can get out of their own half, they'll be comfortable.
On their half, they're getting bombed, even though they're not even going for the ball.
They can't even feel structured at all.
But speaking of that loss, already swarming them, here's a shot again from Furia.
BDS staying as far as they can off the ceiling.
Look at Gervinho. Goal, BDS is save after save.
Finally exotic, he tried to get a clear going and up the wall against Lost.
And yeah, that's even too much for him to handle.
Down in the midfield, he's going to force it about towards Charlie.
Top corner, he was found.
The loss was there to keep it away.
Charlie bumping one and then two.
Midfield, Hunk Room goes high, Gervinho up a little bit.
And Aubrey, the dunk for Exotic, is gonna be success in 45 seconds for BDS.
Exotic does it again, first it's a launch, I think, from Monkey Moon and Exotic Flu.
BDS know if they could support each other, they will score.
Catching Fury on the back foot now, early.
Fury have always been in their shadow, haven't let BDS get too much of a lead.
now with these awkward touches it gives a chance for BDS to keep pet-brick shots in.
It's the first minute though with BDS they have that lead again. I don't know how many times they'd
say it. They get an early lead, can they hold it? We've seen that they struggle to in every game
that they scored first. They did get one win out of it but you can't make sure that you rely
on getting a late goal on any of these monkeys moving in and lost us a track back.
Like the curious defense isn't playing scare too much really early 50s and at least they have
a backup plan in the net. That's what's really making it hard for BDS to go for passes as
Exotic has to go for a double touch there. And Trolley brings it out. What a more quality
opportunity. Trolley went for the jump but then it's a swing from Exotic. Trolley slowing
it down letting Monkey Moon get a full tank. Exotic didn't get the spot he wanted but
he'll still keep Curia in their half. Lost in the backboard has to try and send
it further than Monkey Moon. It's no success if they're doing that. A recent round
Who comes in next? Trolley, a chance, monkey moon. Attempts to get around the side of Gryffinio.
A bump attempt again, and that was successful. That right there is a goal.
But Furia, keeping their wits about them, clears their way. Gryffinio again.
The first time I feel the ball has been in the blue half for like two minutes, it feels like.
Yeah. Oh, this comes out the end! If it's wide on the right post!
This BDS quick to follow through. And exotic with the full thing.
You've got the whole squad jumping and not in a good way, but Trolley and Exotic can work together on this from their ceiling fees!
F**king Mule trying for the double and Boss will stop it and it comes out to Yan, a longer double on him!
I mean, Yan pushing down on that ball is a stunning display of confidence.
Fido with a long pass back and a team bump leaves it out on a 2v1.
Loss is there, he's scared, but instead Exotic sends a high.
Should have gone low. Loss is already on the backboard.
Now Yan, the reset, playing mind game against Drowley, exotic, takes his time to the side,
Gerovino up next.
Curia, when the ball is forced off with a 50, Curia seems ready, they're in the right
position to keep, keep, keep the pressure.
Now this goes back, Gerovino, the third man back, exotic tries for a low ball and it's
still a wall.
Wonderful touch from Loslau, you see Drowley, he's there, he's ready to go for it.
They instead lost, gets a touch, makes a ball roll,
put a clays into the corner.
They still need to do more than just defense though.
Gephidio is going to receive.
He's applying anybody but exotic.
Now we're seeing BDS acceptable these passes,
giving Furia a taste of their medicine.
And BDS are playing a bit quicker than Furia,
just having more boost and just really good rotations
from them defensively.
It's been stolen and opened to all BDS!
Monkey Moon, securing it with a long shot as well.
It was Charlie, not even the best pass in the world, but just seeing Furia completely over-committed.
And we're set at the top of the series. BDX, when they score, they come in droves.
We've not seen that versus Furia. This may well be different. They've got two so far, and Game 5, if ball goes their way.
And your finger's been that pillar in the net, and that time, he got locked up and couldn't get to the net in time, and it's all over the-
Zest in Game 4. In the Coliseum he sees blood and he draws even more of it.
Gryffinio missing on the backboard. But you don't get that goal without the
excellence. It's 3 for BDS. BDS can go back to just relying on most mechanics,
but Gryffinio likes the gap. It's an exotic thing to get the hit. 2-3 and they're just going to send a different person to each attempt mid-build.
No one's really back at shot bottom corner.
Luff can't get the clear away.
The exotic has been playing on pressure
like we have not seen this series so far.
Uh-oh, here he is.
This can't break out of their half right now.
BDS standing tall.
Center out.
Luff shoved off and Jolly Simpson.
Fury are so supportive of each other.
They will not make it easy.
Now the midfield at the scramble
comes back to the orange half.
Time running out. We'll be seeing a champions field. Monkey Moon getting this away now. They're just playing keep away. This is mean
This is mean, but it's business, baby. 10 seconds left. Any goals gonna be pure garbage time
BDS
Managed to secure game number five
They perform in the Coliseum. They excel when needed
And it's gonna be four on the scoreboard. Exotic mate. You know what?
Secure the hat trick give you team the advantage game five on its way
And this is why I picked exotic first on my fantasy he can do it all solo
Don't brag to me about fantasy. I'm so in the bin. I went from last place where you were
56 and I think exotic is gonna can't beat a victory hat trick to that's nice hat trick nine shots by the way
and 811 points in regulation.
I think BDS realized, okay, the passes are what they are known for.
Because these areals even just interconnecting in the air.
BDS just haven't been able to get away with that as easily,
because Furious Defense is quick enough to intercept that.
At least they can contact with the player.
So a lot of BDS goals have now come off of solo plays
of an open backboard on Furious half
that Exotic is taking full advantage of.
You see the zoom in as well on the BDS logo with the single star above it that one representing the world championship
They won on this stage two years ago. This is a stepping stone towards that moment
All of these series so vital
But this one in particular if they can get the reverse sweep it will be the first we have had at world
2024 and BDS I appreciate they're not the hometown favorite listen Fort Worth
I know that you want Fury to take this.
I think Fury and need your energy.
When they score, you need to explode with passion.
Because BDS, they are gonna make this series theirs otherwise.
And that series is slipping for Fury.
And that reverse sweep is looming.
And that shot forces the double command,
but Joralee Gray recovery follows through.
And if he even leads the switch at this time.
And Arley puts the scope on for that shot, snipes it from the top corner.
Giffy in a front row view as it goes past his goal line.
20 seconds in, BDS again scoring early. Can they hold?
Jorley went from being kind of the blue to this team, to excelling on his own.
What a solo play. That's why we said BDS re-tripled threat team.
And Furia got to ammo, doesn't matter, Yan.
If everything you can, the fly time for his team to recollect now,
Droll Lee running into the defense.
Furia's safe for now, but they didn't score once in the last game.
You've got to wake up.
This first minute has been just that pure BDS pressure.
Finally, Furia managed to get some in the blue half.
Munk Moon finds Droll Lee again, along with his shot by Yan.
He is learned, knows that they're going to be coming through thick and fast.
But from Johnny, it's open at the back.
Truffle tracks back, can't save Furious get on this.
Well, Furious are getting a little scared in the neck.
I'm stressed off and I'm just making these diving spades.
I'm acing.
I mean, NVIDIAs know it.
Like sharks in the water, they smell blood.
And it's Furious on their half, it's on it.
Slapping it down, getting Furious to take a march once again down the field.
And they run head first into BDS as Lost with the Flake, but right and easy shot right into the net for Xana to save.
And Furia, their best when they can find the rebound, when they can get BDS jumping, and they can eventually find the gap.
That's where Furia can shine. And there's not as many devils from Furia's side to even make it easier.
It's off Tic. It's off to you to just try and side will read out right down the screen to the box.
Monkemeen is going to track back-sees lost with a little bit of that pressure.
It does still not buy corner-boosted Monkemeen.
The nice quick turn is going to shut them down again.
Exhausting in for a shot.
Top corner from the loss just wide.
And Yan was stopping everyone on that defense.
You needed your opinion to get a quality set up there.
You're not going to get opportunities against BDS like that very often.
Here you are stuck on their half.
Even when the ball clears, it goes right to BDS.
And you see what they can do and BDS can transition.
There you have no time to think.
They're getting these small touches,
but now they're colliding into each other.
It's rough.
It becomes a lot more awkward and you can see it so early on.
The two minutes went to BDS on the customer reverse sweep
versus South America's greatest loss.
Top corner, Sidewall goes up high.
Yeah, the puck does get the shot on,
but Monkemery's saving away.
Furia is on exotic stale and look what he can do with the backboard.
The video, bitching is not great.
There's a drawl he was trying to get the drop down and Malti would ask to retrieve.
Furia getting booked though. BD is going to try this again.
To exotic, the bell's right.
Time and time again we see Furia forcing these defensive plays.
Typically incredible.
But just a few times they lack Yan, misses that one.
Lost with a reset.
He has not been present in the last couple of games.
He needs to turn that round, become the target man, get to get through four.
and get to get Truffaut.
Pips it back into his own half.
Charlie, zero boost, goes off with a dump.
Can't play again in a second.
Fury are just struggling with these corner plays.
They can't get good setup.
The backboard, BDS won't allow it.
They won't slip open.
Yan is just harassing, making control difficult for BDS.
Fury only have a minute 20 to tie
or BDS will reverse sweep them.
Zossi with no boost,
just shot over the ball in the middle of the line,
which is that one down.
BDS, 300 boost between them.
Furious, scrapping over a single boost fill.
Shrino though, got a go target.
Laws helped it on its way, a little bit more pace.
Now, central, all free from BDS to save.
And it's same, defense or BDS.
And a lot of shots, not on target.
And now Bucky Boon gets to get the out of their own head
to strike through the defense's heart.
And Furia now half a transition, BDS can focus on defense
or go for insurance.
42 seconds left.
Our promise is, his guard not long enough
Check yourself with Dominus, pal. You would've got on the end of it.
Gifino now, trying to look central. Exotic's gonna be hounding him.
God, that's keeping it away.
Organ for Boos and all.
Couldn't get this to last. He went for the direct shot.
He had an option to pass.
Furio doing everything to make BDS thing twice.
Any kind of mistake is there.
And he drops it down, Charlie.
Into the corner.
Triple central, another one.
Yeah, he needs to get this one.
He's not giving no.
Banks can't die in the sky.
Exotic the next to him.
into the corner this season, through any team.
And Furia, they're not out for my word.
You need to take a look.
Our wall fell apart as BDS stepped it up.
I had no time to go collect.
And geez, Furia just sent house,
came out with nothing.
BDS, the resilience to pull off
the first reverse sweep here at Worlds.
This season, we've only seen one happen so far is when OG went up against Twisted Minds in London, this one for a little bit more beings than that.
BDS, you have to look at just how they perform. Look at that turnaround. A generational turnaround as far as I'm concerned.
As far as I'm concerned, because Furia, they control the series.
Do you see the face of Lost?
He needs to make sure that he goes back, talks to the team,
everybody get on the same page.
I'd still argue in those first two games,
we didn't see the Gefenia.
We didn't see the Yan that we needed to see.
But in this moment, high performance replay,
it is going to be one of those moments again,
where you just look, what went wrong.
But regardless of what went wrong,
we know what went right.
BDS, reverse sweeping, leaf on the stage.
Give it up here for BDS and Jolly!
That was a hard match, it seemed like.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to ask, you guys lost to OT at the very beginning there.
Do you feel like that hurt any momentum?
Is that what allowed Furia to pull ahead?
Well, I think we didn't have any momentum to start with.
Okay.
If we had any momentum, I think we would have just won right after that.
But yeah, we just started off really bad,
which is why we lost the first two games.
So what what switched the momentum? Was it simply just a warm-up or when we
conceded that second goal in game 2, I think it was 2-1 like 40 seconds left, we were like
let's just start chasing you know because we were hesitating and stuff and I
realized that in those 40 seconds we were dominating the game and the next
few games we just said yeah we have nothing to lose let's just keep chasing
and it worked. So was that you that called it out you said you noticed
that it was working I think I was the one who was hesitating a little bit you
know I think it's we're fine and it's it's sort of only helped me you know my
team is already being fine and it just allowed it to like break through and
windows the games it solidified what you needed to do going forward yeah I
want to ask now because of course you're in a top eight position
unfortunately in the past two majors you guys haven't been able to make it
much further than that when you get to this point in the tournament does
that intimidate you at all being a position nope we're not the same team
anymore yeah we're different you look the same not on the field maybe but on
the field we're different now so I'm not I'm not stressed at all or anything like
that you know we know we know we have what it takes to win the tournament and
confidence is a very important part of it is that the big difference or what
would you say is the key thing that's changed for you guys in this
tournament think it's tough and it's yeah it's absolutely how do you how do you
make sure that you have the confidence is it just Casio behind you or what make
sure that you guys are confident coming on to the state. Well I don't know just
something that we gained with time you know with the tournaments and stuff you
start out. You're older and wiser now yeah. Yeah. Well for you now I want to ask
specifically as I do believe you're the last rookie in the tournament as your
rookie season here can you speak to maybe the difficulties of having to
perform at this level and how hard it is to achieve this much to what to achieve
this much and be in this position oh well I don't believe I mean it is hard
but it's something that I'm like expected to achieve you know so a lot of
expectations huh a lot of expectations yeah it's not there's not many
difficulties I'm just playing my game you know that's it well keep playing
your game because so far you're winning congratulations on that dub and good luck in the rest of top
eight one more time here hydraulic and bds the playoff bracket is set bds will play against g2
i believe we're correct on this one here with two lives in the tank still furia drops to the
lower bracket for a match against space station bds feed exotic the ball that's what it seemed
like it was it was just like he was scoring everything he's he's going for that accolade
who's catching up on goals per game so sound put in 1.4 goals per game throughout that and furia the last two games the same
Could happen with cake or if the first two games they look good
But those last two didn't score a goal zero and zero games four and five
I mean that one it could make sense that team did yes we're getting more acclimatized to the
The land computer crowd you up to it this particular crowd as well. We see them
Payed it before but yeah, it's um, it's it's it's not hugely surprising to me to see that when team BDS get going
They turned themselves into a complete whirlwind, but they were a bit shaky
There was some mistakes in game one and their body language didn't look perfect, and I thought about you Huck
But I was thinking oh dear
Y'all we're shaking
A bunch of other people that were really excited, but no I think BDS
I think Jolly actually said it perfectly they came into it
No, and they were gonna have any momentum because it was just first one out and as time went on
They were able to just catch up.
Unfortunately, Fury just couldn't close out.
Once that pressure started to come out under the field for them,
they probably, it was becoming more of a mental battle.
I know we spoke to that on the pregame for this one.
That mental battle is going to crush them.
So now you're down 0-2.
Like we said, they're going to go up against Space Station later.
That's a whole new ballgame.
Again, they're so good in these early games in these matches.
They just have to find a way to close out these matches.
matches, but Jan still relatively quiet.
We expect him to be one of the best at LAN, and he just hasn't been.
It's been, yeah, there's been one or two key mistakes.
There's been times where the ball is floating into the center.
You see Jan's main play above his car.
You're thinking 100% he sinks this top corner and then he's just missed.
Or it goes wide, it flashes wide.
And Jan is the sort of player that misses these shots and these opportunities.
So it's surprising to me, and I have to fix that.
Well, a lot of it too is also there was no connection on it.
There were so many times it go for an infield pass,
no connection on it from the man.
And that's exactly what you guys are talking about too.
They're just missing what had made them such an it factor
so early on in the week and what had garnered
so many fans around them.
And it's just gone.
That game three was huge too.
Monkey Moon putting that in after they gave up a goal
right at the end for it to be tied.
They were about to get swept but Monkey Moon
clutched it up with another overtime winner.
He did that at EWC, the grand finals.
He won the game for them.
So when he is needed, he'll pop off.
But for the most part for BDS, he evokes out of the ball.
If he has the ball, he's doing magic.
He got 811 points in one of those games,
as well in regulation.
And I can't remember the last time
I saw that many points not needing an overtime.
It was such a statement from BDS.
In a world championship where it has been so difficult
to pick favorites, we have been doing a lot of talking
about Falcons and G2 and yet the rest of the European teams.
We're talking about two teams now from Europe
as the favorites to win.
And all the European teams are like, excuse me.
What is that?
This is our house.
This is what we do.
And BDS comes out, drops the first two games,
manages to mentally reset in front of a crowd that
does not want them to win, and reverse sweep
what a performance from them.
We want to break down some more things that
happened in that game.
James, about what you got?
So we got to play from Monkey Moon
that shows the importance of a great first touch
and the power of a flip reset.
Let's go ahead and get into this one.
You see Lost up in the air on the challenge of the light,
touch to the wall.
And normally, you think, okay, Monkey Moon, he's got the easy outlet to either exotic or drawly, depending on who goes up field.
Surely, he'll take that approach.
But no, what Monkey Moon doesn't said is even better.
Look at the slight turn he takes to get the perfect first touch and makes the play from there.
So you'll see, as we continue on in the clip, Monkey Moon, that little turn for a first touch gets the second.
And then here, that first touch, Mesmerizing, but then he locks in on Yan, makes the reads.
that Yan wants to go high and so to beat that high challenge Monkey Moon will go
for a reset. As we continue on you see Monkey Moon surgical with his reset
beats Yan uses the reset to beat lost and then that put Jeralina 1v1 situation
you'll see all he has to do here is win this 50-50 after that reset touch. You
see Truffino last back all alone no one's there to help him and then
you'll see a perfect 50-50 from Drolley as we continue on.
Drolley wins that 50.
The ball right in front of that and exotic finishes the job.
A phenomenal play by Monkey Moon reminding us
how good those first touches and flip recess
can be even at this level.
So Monkey Moon showing us why is one of the grits.
Monkey Moon genuinely one of the generational players
of this era.
And that play I love because if Monkey Moon,
he goes through that pass and he's out of play
because he has no boost.
And then it's going to be a 50-50 between Yan and probably Drolley.
And no one else is going to be available.
It's going to turn into possession probably for Furia on their end.
But instead he makes it work with the flip reset, keeps himself in the play,
to turn it into like a mini three on two.
That's why we got Monkey Moon to Drolley, to Exotic while Lost had no boost.
So Furia was down one man because of that touch by Monkey Moon.
Fantastic play.
Well, out of all that play in general as well is that when we talk about the difference between playing online,
even at the highest level and at the LAN,
Making that decision to keep the ball and not make the safe choice of putting the pass in.
Monkemann is so comfortable on this stage. He's happy to do that.
It led to that goal of many more.
He's got more experience on the stage than most people left in the tournament.
The tiebreakers are concluded.
Karmingkorn is your third seed.
BDS, your fourth seed and Fury will be the fifth seed for our playoff bracket,
which means gives it is now playoff time.
It is also best of seven time.
Yeah, it's interesting with space stations that they got the eighth seed.
But honestly, I think you kind of want that based on these tiebreakers.
You knew coming in that a team is going to lose one or two going into that match.
Space station for sphere is going to be very interesting.
We have two Europeans in the top four.
They are always there.
They find a way, but also oxygen versus the mates.
Oxygen already took out vitality.
So see if they can take out another European team.
Oh, man, vitality.
And it just hurts.
It feels wrong.
And what also feels wrong is we're gonna play it first touch and chalked on the stage now
What are we doing seems very very wrong?
You're so optimistic it's gonna be a time though
Words are gonna get to enjoy them excited for we got four or five more matches there on the day for you guys before we are
Done we'll play that first touch versus chalk cast next and then we will have the first four matches of
of the playoffs but before that some fun folks we're gonna take a quick break when we come back absolute
shenanigans on the stage six of the weirdest people I've ever had the privilege of calling friend we'll duke it out in
Fort Worth it's gonna be great
For the things that matter most to them
Whatever you're saving for we're all better off with an ally
Hey guys, I'm let them here and I'm here with James bot today
We're watching pros play volleyball for the very first time a 2v2 volleyball match with Jane apps and though versus
Radosan and Juicy we're playing on beach volleyball made by mr. Phil and arrow mootka
It's a really polished map
There's actually an entire community behind this map that played this this map in scrims
So I'm really excited to see pros try it out for the very first time and see how they handle it
So James, I believe you've actually played this before yes
I've actually played this with you it actually feels like an incredibly polished game type it really is it's a
It's such a clean map.
It looks like it belongs in salty shores.
And it feels right.
Like when you have the players who know how to play,
they get up high and try to blast that ball
in a spike down there 100%.
So it's three touches per team on each side.
You have to get the ball across the net.
And once it switches sides, the touches reset.
It's first to seven today with a beach volleyball.
So it's much more floaty ball.
The pros will have to get used to it.
We'll have to see if they get,
they might just throw the ball into the net.
I remember the first time I tried.
It's not as easy as you think you would look.
I think it's as hard as it looks.
I mean, honestly, I think it's pretty difficult.
We'll have to see if they handle it.
It's like I said, it's first to seven.
We might have a very quick match on our hands.
Well, let's get into it.
All right, here we go.
This is volleyball.
Like we said, it's best first to seven.
And whoever gets seven points first wins.
It's a one-touch serve,
and you can only do three touches on each side.
This is a very difficult map change.
You've played it before.
I have.
And it actually...
Oh, and there's a goal already.
Now one thing I was going to say is that it looks like it's a beach ball as well.
It is a beach ball.
It's much more floaty.
And then the other thing about this map that's interesting is that there is a net that the
ball can go over, but the cars, you're stuck on your hat.
You can just drive on an invisible wall above the net.
It is, yeah.
You try to go for the block.
And you have to, you can go on an invisible net in the front to sort of block those shots
and maybe get a spike, but the best way to get scored is definitely with those spikes
down like that.
Redosin and Juicy already starting off with two quick goals.
You can see Tho is trying to go for those blocks by driving up there,
but I don't know if that is a winning strategy.
I think you probably want to be ready for those shots from farther away
and maybe pop up the ball for your teammate.
Cover the ground.
All right, Janep's trying something fancy here.
He's going to pop it up for his teammate maybe.
Oh.
What's happening here? Let's see what happens.
Old Minima.
Oh?
Game here.
You can see Juicy going for the block.
Oh, he tried for him, but he missed.
Really setting it up on a tee for Redosin.
That was a tough one.
Janus has it. Nice. It's a cross.
Now Juicy back to return. They're quick for it.
Will we see any passing?
I think you said you can...
I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but you get three hits per side.
You do, so you can maybe get a little nice little layup.
Basically how volleyball works in real life.
You know, you can get the setup for the spike.
A bit of a miss from Juicy.
But Radosan touches it.
It's the pass though.
And it's good over on this touch.
Got it.
Power on that backflip flick.
Not the greatest touch from Juicy,
but Redosin should have one more.
I'll have to go over.
Oh, that's it.
That's it.
That's good.
No, they got to put it down.
They got to put it down.
Oh, it's a gentleman's agreement?
No, the gentleman's agreement on that.
So they have to put it over.
They're going to let it down.
There it goes.
See Juicy trying to line up the shot here.
Oh, JNAP's floating.
Oh, two touches.
Final touch.
Can I get it over?
That's a cross.
Oh, that's going to be him.
Oh, good try.
It's a tie game.
So, like I said, it's first to seven.
There is also a timer on the game, so even if they don't get to seven, it's whoever has
the best score so far.
Oh, and there was an early jump.
Juicy tried it.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, no.
That was a good pass from Redosa, as we see here.
But Juicy had pre-jumped.
There's nowhere to be found, and he finally pays off her coat.
Oh.
Driving above the net, looking for his opportunity.
It's a great block and like you said you can drop on that invisible wall to really get those early shots to really throw off the opponents
I love this map. It's probably one of the most polished custom apps. Yeah, it feels right. It's super clean
You should see people think there's there's actually a whole community of people that play volleyball and they scrim the way
They save the ball or make the spike setups. It's incredible to see. I'm not surprised
There is a niche competitive community around volleyball. It's a great mode. It's a good pop-up
It seems like you're just gonna have a follow-up. There's a pretty different mode
Oh, he tried to get a little sneaky with it, but it didn't pay off
I didn't really fancy with these kickoff strategies. I love this
All right one pop from Brett Redosin
Second touch is over. Should be fine for Jamf to handle here
So the end of volleyball rule is true. You can't hit it twice in a row. Is that something?
It's okay in this volleyball because it's such a difficult game mode, but
But three touches is the max. Oh, wow
Wow
Oh, they're two points away from the win.
I love that.
So, Juicy kind of faked like he was gonna hit it,
and that put him in position on the wall to receive the pack.
There's so much space on the floor,
and you have to really cover a lot of ground.
You kind of have to predict.
But we'll see if Janus and Thoak can bring it back.
They're only down two.
Oh, an air drill sound.
I'm gonna try and go for a pinch.
Right back.
Oh, that's awesome out there.
Oh, there's some cheeky plays happening on the field,
but it's not paying off for any team here.
Juicy tried to go for that first touch
and then just spiked it to his own floor.
Wow, Radosa and Juicy to serve.
They're going for a fake double, double kickoff on pop.
Nice low shot.
It's off, but it pops up off the net.
Ooh, sidewall can though, read it though.
They gotta get over this one touch.
It's a knocker for Gamehouse.
Oh, is it over?
No.
No, it's not, that's it.
They gotta let it down.
That was a fourth touch, so they do have to play it down.
Radosan wasn't, not the nail in the coffin yet, but they're one goal away.
We've seen a lot of fakes.
No, though, just goes for straight four.
Just go for a straight launch.
Radosan over.
Big boom.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
Is this it?
Oh!
No, it's in!
That's gonna be it!
So Radosan and Juicy take the volleyball match in quick fashion, too.
Only three minutes of gameplay, but that's it.
That's a quick win for them.
All right, so surprise the first one.
It's a quick win for them.
All right, so surprise, surprise.
The French players won in a convincing fashion.
Congratulations to Redocin and Juicy.
Honestly, well played to all the players.
Yeah, there were some good moments there.
I love the fake-fight Juicy into the pass-up.
Two of me spiked a couple own goals.
Yeah, the Juicy own goal was awesome.
It was super cool to see them play it.
I think if they had a little more practice in it,
it would be a really, really competitive match
and probably a lot longer match.
But it was great to see them try it out
for the very first time.
I hope you guys enjoyed as much as we did.
Until next time, have a great day.
3-0 the left from KC, but then James they turned it around and BDS were just different
I mean even in that game to that BDS lost you saw that play for monkey moon that I broke down on the telestrator monkey moon
It's feeling good. He's playing well. He is one of the greatest of all times
Could be the greatest of all time if team BDS go on yeah, and win the world championship
And they're playing in that form however as great as that is and it is what we are all here for boring
Yep, it is time for what we have had to sit through all week long.
The yapping is no longer behind the scene.
We are about to see them play chalked against first touch.
I'm actually scared what the reactions will be, depending on who wins and who loses.
There will be tears.
Yeah, there will be tears.
I have so much to say, Shogun.
Are we going to have a lot of time? You tell me. Go now.
now. Well, if there's one, goodness me, I'll get the most important thing out. One thing
it could be is that I know for a fact, Daz can be bought. He can be. He might be paid
to throw this game. Nah, nah, not in this. Is there a fun in the world? It is meant
too much to first touch. It is a match that they feel they cannot lose. Let's hear
from them.
It's been a long, long waiting match, been a lot of talk for a long time.
It's finally time to get on the field and see who's really got the testament.
Just to let everybody know at home and the people in arena is not going to be tears.
The fans can expect brilliance, domination, and there's really only coming from one side.
One of the things you can expect from first touch is action, explosiveness.
By explosiveness, I mean demos.
They're going to see cohesion, teamwork, complete excellence.
Rizzo, he's been out the game for a very, very long time,
and I just don't really think he knows how to handle a problem.
CJ CJ, the last time we saw him playing against Arena, you already know what happened.
He bats, but he's hooked on stage.
Johnny, he might drop 100 points again.
I'm not worried about a single one of these people's more than that.
Even think they really played the game that much.
They're showing up that's unprepared.
For some reason, I hope WorldThings will go well because I don't understand what I'm saying.
It's just a lot of gathering.
You asked for what we were about to do.
Where do I have to see the Chalkcats?
Know your role and shut your mouth.
It's time to meet the great Yaffers.
Please welcome the members of Team First Salary that his teammates combined.
Can't attest.
This is not just one of those things.
I see people say, oh, this is only in front of the cameras.
Oh no, behind the scenes, this match is all we've heard about.
We've genuinely not heard the end of this the entire time.
Behind the scenes, T-Bates has argued against the entire room of cast as an analyst,
saying, I don't know why you don't believe in me.
Why are we not on it all of your predictions?
It's the endless mind games between Johnny Boy and T-Bates.
It's been all up, it's Johnny Boy on the bus, in the green room.
Johnny Boy has the hotel, has the hotel.
All at the mental of T-Bates, all in preparation of this match.
He already is.
They're actually toning it down for the cameras out here in front of the crowd.
It was a lot more than mess in the green room.
It has been since the first day we got here.
We arrived naked.
These guys are already doing, you know, like getting a huddle.
I don't know what to do.
And, you know, you have to give credit.
Well, Diz qualified for a World Championship on his own.
T-Bates was in champion and Dazrin, I don't know.
Dazrin's also there.
There he is and they do have opponents ready to go!
That is Chalk's cast!
And they lost the post-it again?
Classic ginger.
What's guys doing up there?
What even is this?
They're talking about the show match.
Is that today?
Oh, Capby, we haven't even done our content yet.
The contract.
What contract?
The content contract.
What are you talking about?
Did you saw it?
No, I didn't even know there was one.
Yeah, what's up?
Did you see the content?
The what contract?
No, I'm gonna need this.
One of these is an expert for perfect explosiveness.
By explosiveness, I mean demos.
Are they talking trash right now?
Rizzo, they're talking about you.
They're talking about me?
Triple figures.
They make this look like a bunch of drongos.
What's a drongo?
It's bad.
What do I have to say to Chalk Hat?
They shut your mouth.
No, that doesn't.
Chomo boys, let's suit up.
What a surprise.
It's so nice hanging out with you guys.
Why are you walking so funny?
We're doing slow-mo.
Probably sure, if those shirts have actually dried at this point,
they are thick with paint.
I was in the room when they were doing them.
CJ used an entire paint pen on just the word chores.
These guys, I think, when we talk about the master of content,
we have got six of the greatest content creators in Rocket League here right now.
But it's personal.
You saw Johnny, CJ Rizzo.
They were offended at the trash talk by first touch.
And this is a capable team CJ CJ one of the greatest OCE players of all time
Rizzo
They'll go Johnny boy stare does it is like he's got shades of tears in those eyes right now
It's beat. It's the hideous poker face. He doesn't have one every
Conversation we had in the green room it seemed like first touch was nervous for this everyone is touching the photo to make sure
Yeah, there we go
Rizzo's hero who he wanted to grow up to be
the
P.A.
To a photo of Daniel
any of that
North American greatness in his body
signed by
the man himself
this is going to be
I think show defining because if we
see first Touch Loos
they genuinely won't be able to get over it
and if we see first Touch Loos
I think they are just going to
show up again.
We're going over the thing is short talk a big game about yeah, we don't really care that much
It's all fun
But if they lose as you say that bravado will quickly disappear
But you know what that that comment that dad said know your role the reason he said that is because he's been here in all the
Chattering that dad's is gonna try to do too much out there on the field
And you took in terms of MMR first touch actually have the edge
I think in this building only one person has got less hours than oxygen. It's Rizzo
He's not bad. It's not bad for
for in the last two weeks. And
also we have had we have seen
both of these teams going to
the player area have been
trying to take over any one of
the team booths and playing on
their setups. We're just to
try and get any scrims in. I
looked at teammates MMR right
before the show. It was last
updated 10 minutes ago. Wow.
They have they literally
popped off scrims and then
came immediately here. But
here's the thing. I'm
top scrims and then came immediately here. But here's a few head to head to look up.
Oh, there's some big numbers being put forward by the two players that probably need to stay
out of the way the most. The analysts on the internet, a lot of them have been saying,
okay, role is CJ, they kind of cancel each other out. T-Bates, Rizzo, probably give Rizzo
a little bit of an edge. But in the Dazzar and Johnny Boy matchup, that's where this series
is going to be made. And Dazrin, he proudly said, what rank is he? GC2, Johnny Boy?
Well, he's got that team mentality. I think with Johnny as well, I've played with him a
good few times, and he's got a great quote. He has said multiple times, I am too stupid
to be mind game. If there's anybody trying to go for fake on him, he wouldn't be able
to see it coming. He just sees ball, drives a ball, and he might hit it. And you know,
Johnny Boy, he might not have the highest of them, but it's because he's playing
with pros all the time and you don't really get points playing with pros. He makes the
place. He has the stretch show. I did genuinely think like the most important play here might
actually roll this because he's the one who's got maybe the least eyes on him regarding
how he does here. But get your prediction in at home. Hashtag FT or hashtag CC or
short tap cast or first touch for your progressive and votes. We will start getting on with
of ours very, very soon. Thankfully, they did hand us over to the least biased desk they
possibly could have found backstage. Thing is, I really want to see Johnny Luce. I really
want to see Johnny Luce. I don't think I want to see Johnny Luce.
The one thing that is we as a collective are only able to win, right?
No, it's not. It's all for us. Can we do an arena thing?
Oh, absolutely.
So, for those of you that want to hear first touch win, let me hear ya!
He delayed, that wasn't his body over here. There was a real delay in the crowd.
They didn't know.
But then anybody who wants to see Rizzo, CJ and Johnny Boy, rain victorious, let me
The trump card, if they start to fall behind, he will look into that picture.
I'm sure an inspiration shall hit.
I'll be real. I was not expecting that.
I think I'm sure neither the sea baits
Said the entire time the crowds on Mars. Ah, that doesn't matter, but no no seems like Rizzo all this time is still
That's already sweating. I don't know if you guys saw the glistening dad's already
See how many layers they've gone on. Okay is that jacket was a bad idea cute little jacket
Well, let's be serious here
I'm pretty sure I've seen first touch playing a show match before against team Twitter
And I'm pretty sure they got swept. I'll need somebody to confirm that for me
But when I compare Team Twitter to the stacked squad of Chalkcast,
I think this is an even more difficult matchup.
CJ, who has swept Furion twice.
Oh, Bates has already happened.
Dronarali.
But I think the players are almost ready,
which means it is time for us to get our predictions in.
Now, earlier on, James, you may have mentioned
that one player might be able to be swayed, but we are going to try and sway you over to our side.
Stumpy, could you do the honors because we have a birthday boy on the fence.
Happy James' birthday.
On the count of three, we're going to say happy birthday to James.
But are we ready?
One, two, three.
Thank you, everybody.
Oh my God.
We need to not look out too close to the microphone.
All right, make a wish.
Make a wish.
All right.
What's your wish prediction?
what's it gonna be? I wish that Chalkast will destroy us. We know where we're going but let's
make it a formality. Stumpy do you want to surprise us? I think we get quite frankly an absolute
smashing here in Dickies today. It's a 3-0 to Chalkast. The grain, think of the grain. The grain
I'm going with it. I cannot possibly go against it today. It's gonna be 3 for Chalkast and I'm
I'm going to go with a first touch as well, I can't see it happening lads, nothing for you.
So usually this is where the host has to try and put a prediction on the other team to try and make it look fair.
But this is not a fair matchup, it is free Titans that are going to smash it.
Put me on short cast.
But there is one opinion, we have value more than anything else.
I love them by the way to just win. Oh, that's everyone's wrong. We're all wrong chance on even the kinds wrong and even better Johnny loses.
It's a win win baby. We are loving life no matter what but I now believe we are ready to get into the match stacks over to you competing on the World
to get into the match. Stacks over to you.
Competing on the world championship stage is a privilege reserved only for the best players in the world.
And also, apparently, these guys.
It's time to set Rocket League Esports back into the Stone Age!
First touch!
The championship about to give you some of the worst Rockwell you've ever seen. I don't know what I'm going to expect Gibbs
Obviously sad to be the casting move again. It's a beautiful night for Bad Rockedly. Here we go. All the kickoff
It's gonna be a fair of course from Chalkass. See if they can get anything done. Johnny out to the wing
He's gonna push up on base. Oh already it's a little Johnny on base. We're gonna watch that match up this entire game
I'm excited to watch the boost meters up here and see how often all players are like under 30 boosts at the same time
despite nobody robbing anybody.
Here comes Chalkast on the offense to kick things off.
So the experience on the crowd is going to go to Rizzo and CJ.
Johnny seems comfortable every time we talk to him,
but Bates is the flesh mark.
Does he choke under the pressure?
Rizzo is going to go up, just go for a little double tap
off the side wall, keep control,
try and push it forward for Rollsby's.
Watch out for him.
He's the wild guard.
He's right the best player on the field right now.
Bates crashing in the corner, leaving Dazrin for a nice long, lofty aerial.
He does finally touch the ball there and roll doesn't get the touch is crazy watching
Watching Nazarin aerial there and be like wow, that's so slow. Come right up. We were watching the last
Watch that for Johnny boy, too. He's gonna boost ill and go for demos that bet
He's gonna not do too much. Just trying a noisy beats. It's his number one goal
Quality ping pong we got going on so far. He's gonna pick up pitch Bates and goal will take it away
Here comes Rizzo back down to absolutely nobody over to himself. Excuse me. Here comes Johnny boy, and it's gonna go high
That is not the pass you want to make for so you want to pass to CJ
Outside
Old is out of the corner. Dasher in the waiting in front of the box cleared by CJ the edge
Johnny boy missed touching the corner
Dasher and will put back into the box CJ with no boost off the wall
Here's the top of Rizzo and as room teammates down on the backboard as the clear comes through Rizzo handling things in gold
Rollers up go for the midfield pass out to Dasher and denied by Johnny boy of all players
He's going to try and push the elbow, gets another demo on T-Bates.
This ball!
And Johnny Boyce is clear in the field.
Getting the demo golden, cannot get the touch.
CJ puts it home and chalked up to an early lead.
3-13 left on the clock. 1-0 and we're going to have a pause.
Somebody, there's just no way. There's just absolutely no way.
We're used to feeling on the desk.
I'm not used to feeling in the cast before.
Where'd he go?
But they're just trash talking already. Can they hear each other?
Did he break his chair already? He might have. He probably popped out of the chair so hard
to just hit pause on accident thinking that something was on fire.
There's been zero reversal for this.
Chad, what do you guys know?
Johnny Bollack!
Oh, one bathroom denies it! Oh, Steve David drives it!
Riz on the third man will keep it in the blue.
Now Roldes again no boost all the first time pushed up on offense Roldes finds the midfield here
But misses in the corner T-Bates will put on the edge and he really wants to get on the board here T-Bates
He's been so much smack talk. He's got to score something here. He comes trying to wait it out CJ says. Nope
Doesn't bother me. Result to Johnny boy intercepted by Bates again trying to be a Roldes
Like a career Roldes try this but it is very wide
He makes all the pressures on him because we talk to Chalk, they're like, yeah, we wanna win, but if we lose, we don't care.
First touch catch. Oh, here we go. Here's an offensive opportunity. Another crossbar hit, just a little bit wide every single time by first touch.
Roldes is going to be complaining that they made the goal smaller since the time he was a pro. It has not changed.
Johnny Boilers with a demo. Roldes nicely dodges and gets it around Rizzo as well.
C.J. gonna lose one. Rolled is of one man riking crew.
Rolled through players. Gotta go through Johnny again.
He's gonna roll loosely across the goal, but doesn't quite make it before Rizzo puts it back
on the midfield. And the comms are a little off.
Dazern's gotta dive out that net. He's gotta score that goal.
So, first touch. Has to figure it out.
Bates me outside half the tank. Actually, leaves it for C.J.
Sends it long ways. Dazern, nice walk to put it into the corner to Bates.
Rolled is the only one with boost on the team.
Johnny can actually area. I'm shocked.
They've made contact, very solid contact. Both Dazrin and Johnny have been pleasantly surprised.
Oh, Dazrin! Dazrin coming from the outside!
The X-Factor, Dazrin versus Johnny. This one, Dazrin gonna get the better of him.
Let's see what Rizzo can do. He's got some space. He's gonna lob it up and do a heat check on T-Bates.
T-Bates does clear well out to Dazrin but CJ with 100 boost.
Gonna try and push the elbow, cannot do it.
Okay, he's out of boost now on the ceiling.
Rolled his plays it to the corner and then it the ball chases teammates back to his own half
He's still trying to back pass to teammates who's backing up. That's not usually how back passes
We have to talk to both these teams. It's a show match guys. We want to see offense. All right
I know these guys are not capable of it, but come on guys one up engage with a show match not proper
Somebody's score, please
Now I just want to bring up things like and well, we'll wait till the two games and all baby
They contact at all now CJ
Over Dazrin, gonna go under baits, over baits actually.
Rolled his full tank here and no pressure at all.
Another demo, see a lot of demos.
Uh-oh, Dazrin trying to shoot.
CJ will skip the save on the goal line out to the edge pass.
Rolled his, gonna be all the baits who's nowhere to be seen.
Where is he? CJ in the corner with no boost, looks for the demo.
And the 50-50 will go neutral to the side.
Dazrin flips into it, kind of awkwardly.
Rolled his right on top of him, kind of a triple commit going on here.
Whiffs, whiffs, whiffs, he baits, come on.
Feel the nerves get into him on that land stage.
The ball is doing less.
The ball is playing rocket racing right now.
Nine seconds left in game number one.
For Chalk Gas with the lead of a singular goal.
Will it be enough?
Face for the final pass to Dazer.
Time to shoot.
There you go.
They got to get back to their headsets,
back to their controllers because there's a kickoff coming.
No, no!
We've had two pauses and two goals.
OK, look, at this point, this is just part of the match.
You have to maintain your own gear, right?
This is a tactical timeout by first touch.
We weren't supposed to have timeouts planned, but we have one now.
We've had more pauses in this one show match game
than we've had all day in two full matches of Rocket League.
Between professional players.
And these casters always blame production for the pauses.
It's actually the casters.
Start the game!
Thank you.
Alright, kickoff strats here.
Oh, the fake.
And then the predicted fake from first touch.
Rold is trying to go for the easy one.
CJ no upfield blocked by dazzling and here comes Johnny for the win world is will deny. All right, wait fuck who scores it
You know I'm gonna try to think Johnny. I'm going. I think Rizzo
Here
No one CJ back so I'll just love the back of the net. That's where he told myself
He does
very well
It's a difficult one.
Looking for the rule one on the wall.
Dazin has none of it.
Now roll this, flip reset.
Goes straight down to choccast players.
Now Rizzo, airborne, onto the edge.
Soft touch, neither CJ nor Johnny Boar were ready for it.
They both hit the brakes.
Black's four hours past two.
That's a four hours past two, Tush.
It is so funny to me how little boost they have every time
they go up in the air.
Boost management is not a good sign for both these guys.
Obviously, pros don't know how to do it well.
They're gonna hold a half a tank most of the time.
That means even if they had a hundred boosts, they can't do a lot.
John, you're going with the dog!
It isn't enough baits. You should be able to clear it away.
Now Arizona on the outside though, looking for the counter.
Or looking for the second attack, the follow up.
The DT just back it up.
The DT's off the skill, they passed it. That's very nice. Very nice.
First minute coming gone of overtime.
A neck and neck thrilling endeavor. An instant classic, of course.
My contract said 15 minutes or I'll rock on the game plan.
Yeah, so they're already doing a 3-5 minute period.
Rizzle, past Roldiz.
Dazzler and Airborne.
Rizzle gets it under him.
Johnny into the corner, trying to set up for CJ to D-Bates get this way.
Oh, no!
CJ has to open that to shoot out!
Very, very close.
There it goes, wide.
Roldiz has to talk to Dazzle based, but nerves are affecting him.
We've seen plenty of lifts from both of them.
Roldiz, get your boys ready.
CJ, no boost in the tank.
Rizzle in front of them.
He's just gonna flick it.
Roldiz puts it high.
Now back into the box.
Gold is chasing this one down again.
No boost in the tank for his own.
Just follow along with him.
Now trying to get this one over CJ's head.
Dazrin can't quite get enough power on it.
CJ will have the ball untested up high.
Bates comes in from the ceiling.
Five minutes of play.
Gold is zero on the clock.
Scores it.
And then it's T-Bates and Dazrin.
The connection.
First touch goes game one.
Everybody on the desk was predicting 3-0.
go that's already out the window there's far we already have the one and
normally players you know they have one minute to cool down get ready for game
two both these squads are trying to get the reaction times not great they're a
little older okay okay that's a dragon result so close
there's been more times chasing the balls they're dropping instead of actually
trying to make that would happen we have a for the first time ever live
It comes during the highlight damage.
Well, I just wanted to talk to you.
Hey!
How's that end?
It's not end.
Hey, it took buzz.
What's going on?
What's he doing?
What's he doing?
Hey, it took buzz.
He actually got the tick buzzed.
Oh, it was bop off.
I just can't believe they hit a buzzer beater.
I named one.
And then they've worked their headsets as well.
So it's good.
See more.
And then the pass.
Dazrin, maybe at the bottom of my list of who is going to score the overtime bowl.
Definitely, definitely at the bottom of my list. Dazrin gets it done. First touch.
The underdogs coming out on top. This, this could go to five.
Proving everybody wrong. And now they're, they're, he's just sleeping.
Sleep between games. This is a long time between games.
This is, can we start the game already?
Oh, did they break another zero? I think, I think first touch broke another thing.
We have more pro matches after this talk as a first touch if we ever want to be allowed to do this show match
Again, you guys got to stop breaking stuff. They're never gonna let us back on the stage
So when the pros go back on the stage, I'm gonna look at who's on the first touch PCs not picking up
That is wild
We'll see what they'll see. Oh, they'll get we'll have some time here to figure this one out
But man, we're up here. Oh, yes
Look at this.
Look at this.
Look at this.
It's got to be fun.
It just feels like we're literally like just like we have a world championship and we somehow
convince them to let us just like have fun with all their toys.
And they're like, well, I guess we're a bad rocker league.
They're going to bring me up here as well for some bad guesses.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're like, well, I guess we have to fill time between the playoffs and the
tiebreakers.
So yeah, I guess you guys can play around.
Just don't break anything.
Can I talk about format while I'm up here too or no?
Is that not what I'm talking about?
part which part of this hybrid bracket is your favorite? All right wait for go we
need predictions we have on the desk yep and it was a sweep even the coin even
the coin so what did you go because this counts on our prediction leaderboard as
well for all the casters so who did you go well obviously given the no results
that I have seen so far oh okay right now I'm obviously picking first touch to
win the match not not a lot of cheers you know I think chalk cast they're the
content machine okay they want game five they let me and I think about it
exactly chalk cast is all about the content so they want a game five they'll
get first actually first two of reverse week and I don't know if T-Bates comes
back you know competitive this was the one thing we did not plan for was a
massive tech pause your competitive integrity is kind of out the window at
this point so we might as well interview the players while the match is going on
Ali for you Ali for you are you around yeah guys what what's going on here
what are we doing I was trying to eat lunch why I didn't want to be out here
what's going on we're playing rock paper scissors you're supposed to be
playing rocket league no yeah he's got a restart that's that's broken you broke
Not me. Okay, get this over with them. Let's go with Prime Lancer.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Just like in-game, CJ. Just like in-game.
First touch. So is it now 2-0 in the match?
Does that count as game 2?
It should be because of the tech laws, honestly.
I mean, we got to speed this up.
This is literally supposed to be fun.
Wait, stop breaking things, people, please.
First touch though man winning everywhere on the field off the field. Which player do you feel like you're looking to have step up here in game number two?
Oh well, you know obviously I have to talk about T Bates. I saw a lot of lifts there
I know they won the game, but T Bates is supposed to be actually good at rock league
He says he's an SSL
I'm not sure I believe it after that first game because I did count at least three with spot as a T Bates is
The goals per game right now on land zero. That's true
There were two goals scored by first touch the best player supposedly on the team did not score either of them on the flip side
Though got to about Rizzo. He's done a show match before he has and he's only one
Yeah, he did lose to the greatest team in rockin the history. I don't know if the crowd knows cosmic aftershock
Can we give it up for cosmic aftershock does anyone even know no they don't know they're all new fans
This is their own new fans. That's okay. That's okay
So I did beat up Rizzo back in season three three games to one so Rizzo
So, he fell asleep then, he's fallen asleep now, so he's got a try and bounce back.
This is just wild, this is happening, this is like a fever dream at this point.
I'm watching in 2024, if you told me I was going to watch Rizzo sleep in a black light
chair in the middle of the Rocket League World Championship.
I told you you were crazy.
I can't believe they broke stuff.
In one game.
They had one job, just don't break anything.
Okay, so here's the fun part about that because you guys broke things you don't get to play as long so instead of it being a
Best of five is now officially this is the worst of the elements a best of three, which means first touch is on match point
And could win the entire game with a win here in game two, but first touch did break the stuff
I think they're planning this this seems like a planned attack
But hey, I think I'll cast again now the reverse week is on the table
Even if it is only a best route that is what they want that's still over content
My one concern is yes, I picked chalk cast
But first touch if they lose T bait still has to go on the desk for two more days
He is going to be so quiet up there
That I kind of need for such to win for our desk content to actually be good
He might also be insufferable he wins. We go every time. Oh, let's get into the game. This is what we're here for folks
I'm excited about it CJ with the dribble of the beating the game to get squashed by Dazrin and
Rizzo will clean up play on the back of the other way with
Debates definitely feeling the nerves right now
Rolled is going up the wall zero boost with a musty looking nice and nice Dazrin trying to challenge
T-Bates has a chance going for the top right corner denied
Johnny look for the pass from Rizzo upfield loss over Dazrin comes back to Kevv pick up his own touch
CJ is going to win that race every single time, for T-Bates literally every time.
He shouldn't have even won up in that area.
Pass up field.
All this tries to get the clear, Johnny Boynard on the back, but a demolition!
T-Bates! The goal is open! It's in there!
But he goes for the pass! The team play!
Actually passing the ball and Rockling, I thought he was just trying to score everything himself.
He did have no boost, he couldn't get around it, so passes him that.
Two is for the world is, and they get it done.
1-0 in first touch, and this might be over real.
It might be.
Jock has yet to get their feet under them.
Those 4 hours past 2 might genuinely be coming into play.
Stazern through the air.
It's off touch pass CJ.
Donnie Boy uses his entire take a boost.
So hit it once.
Hit it one time.
There it goes.
Oh, the dunk comes in and in there!
Rizzle looking like his season 9 self.
He shouldn't have won that World Championship.
That's what everyone says.
Honestly, I think he probably would have choked it.
But Rizzo here, top left corner.
Well done, Chonkast on the board.
355 left to go on game 2.
Chonkast needing the win here in game 2 to 4, game 3.
That's when I kick off a temp Johnny Boy with the save on the goal line.
T-Bates flying through the sky.
Greatest of these. Here's Dazzler and now up against Rizzo.
Rold is in the third man trying to keep it into orange.
Pass to 1.
Pass to T-Bates.
T-Bates free drops off touch on target clear.
C-Day keeps it 1-1.
1 to 1.
TBA wanted to clip so bad there.
He came so close.
CJ felt thrown the ball downfield.
Now Johnny, going to try to go for a pass here,
out into the mid, puts an eye for Gazzard.
This stuff, end of the middle.
CJ with control there.
On target, Rolled is off the post and out.
Johnny Boy back in.
And Rizzo be there.
So all the way back in this hand.
Oh, Johnny got the corner boost though.
See if he can make it happen.
He just lets the ball go by him.
Not trying to do too much.
That is a steam plan there for Johnny.
I think Johnny just cleared CJ back into his own half.
Go back there, V-Thurbin!
Johnny took the ball in!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Rizzo with a demo though, Johnny!
Oh!
Oh, boy, I thought he missed it.
I thought it was over.
I think the health answers came out by Rizzo.
Watch out, here we go.
And they didn't break anything, though.
They scored the whole chocast and not breaking.
This is a massive win for everybody.
Everybody liked that.
Rizzo, no boost.
Wins the challenge.
That's it, that's it!
That's it, that's it!
This is a challenge.
This has to be a save-off so close.
Now, along clear, everybody will reset.
We're just challenged.
Just everyone just piles into the corner.
We'll just have a big party here.
Yeah, Bates just taking their boost.
Trying to boost our...
Oh, a steal!
What a game!
What a close!
Is this a think?
Let's see if I can watch them.
Watch them.
Get it, Brett.
Oh, a close!
See, he rotated a bit there.
But what a shot!
Tie game!
2, 2, 3, 2, 2.
Beautiful.
Rolled this.
He's a world champion player himself, so.
Watch out.
Here comes Johnny.
I'll kick off those.
CJ!
CJ!
CJ!
CJ to take the lead back.
The kickoff strats!
They come out.
Johnny Boy, of course, part of the kickoff strats here.
They'll pass out to CJ Dazarin.
Just falls off the wall.
Just drives off.
He just pannied.
Who's out?
Out of play.
Gone forever.
And now first touch they won't put this away in two back to the drawing board
Maybe the kickoff sit never mind the drawing board was right for them that you're a big old check mark TV
It's on the board Johnny boy went back for boost did he turn up field? He turned up the
It's a kickoff
Turn back to the net. He says that to every single pro when this happens and he turns up field to man's
Not that easy. Hmm
He's got a hook play in this video game.
Another fake kick off Johnny Boy in the...
There it is.
Jasmine's not happy.
He is not happy.
He's got a shot casting his head.
I wouldn't be happy either.
He's going to be crowded in there.
Is that two goals for Johnny Boy?
Impressive.
I did have three goals for him,
but that was best of five as well.
So I think I'll take it for two.
Over one on target.
The contrast from game one to game two is insane.
I did ask for this.
I do want maybe more gameplay than just kickoffs.
What role does nice pass out there, Bates?
Slamming at home.
Four to four, two, 12, on the clock.
I can't have symmetrical score points.
It happened twice in a row.
The mind games from both teams.
No one knows what to do with any of these kickoffs.
They're reinventing the game of broccoli in front
of our very eyes.
Look at it and enjoy it, Chad.
Here comes Dazzerin, out of the corner.
Rold is coming in to challenge, just chases Rizzo.
So they'll figure it out when I get there.
No, he didn't figure it out.
He didn't know.
Let me get a second try, I'm sure.
Trying to go under CJ this time.
Johnny Boy just waiting, trying to beat a player
in into the corner.
CJ walked the growth to the side.
Rizzo no boost and CJ no boost.
Super Rold is going to do this, but don't do much.
Rizzo throws away.
Johnny Boy going to try for a clear on Dazzerin.
Big challenge, go Johnny Boy's way out to Rizzo, back to Johnny Boy.
Tyler Menfield almost gets the impossible angle, but the pressure is off.
And a wild one.
First touch really struggling to keep the boost tanks full here.
We've been pushed back on defense now a little bit more, plus room to cover.
Doing a better job.
The long punts, the constant just punts games.
And you know, you're going to have the ball back over there.
We'll figure it out once you get back over here with it.
I do want to credit T-Bates and Dazzard.
We haven't seen a lot of big misses throughout this game.
I think they got the nerves out of the way in game one
Looking a lot better here to ask for it. I'm on that flickers that love it
He was going for it that massive dreams and aspirations
See if we're so good Daniel
If anyone in this game pulls the Daniel I
Was gonna say that you might have or something but that's a silly
Don't get your hats folks. They're a large hats attack. Yeah, there we go. It's on my road
Oh my god dangerous Johnny boy great
There's T-Bates well upfield zero boost
And a double commit from Roldes and Dazzler leaves the ball in midfield, but Rizzles gonna miss it
So it's gonna be just fine. It's a fake. It's a fake. He goes forward upfield anyway
But T-Bates with a little bit of boost. Can he get back around it? He cannot. So CJ will get a free clear
Now it's CJ's turn. What can he do? He just kind of throws it deep too. No one wants the ball control right now
We're doing this show match here. We're gonna get it over time in game two
These guys are somehow milking their drama.
They are milking it.
They are.
Here we go.
Game two over time.
Last time around it was Dazzer in the ball.
People just scored a game winner.
World is off the kickoff.
Chalk-Cast for a victory in the Joe match.
Not only that, on Chalk-Cast's bread and butter, the kickoff, Johnny Boy in shambles.
Not only losing on a kickoff, but also turning up the old on a kickoff earlier that
That made this a tie game.
Johnny Boy, he's gotta go back to the drawboard.
Poor Johnny.
The tears from all of Chalkast.
Absolutely down try to be okay.
They're fine.
I mean, Rizzo and CJ are used to losing.
So, you know, they're used to it.
But, well done, T-Bates and Dazarin.
Well done, T-Bates getting it done.
He was chalking a lot.
And he gets the role there is the zero second goal in game one that could have been the difference maker
He gave him the Daniel picture
Is that the trophy?
Is that the prize?
Apparently
I mean that's worth a lot of money
That is signed by Daniel
Put it on eBay, it'll get like five dollars
He's excited about it though
What a moment for Rocket League
What a moment for the world championships
So many kickoff goals
I hope we have Johnny boys come
head stats, head stats for such
look devastated, look devastated
wow that's supposed to be behind the scenes
guys, I think I'm the only one to vote for you guys
see you better all join me right now
I thought it might be a little bit better
if I just gave you guys your own mics
I feel like it's a little bit, you have to go on there
first off I just started off by saying
what happened this is very embarrassing
in. Devastation. We set ourselves up to the reverse way. Best of five. Someone
changed it to a best of three. Yeah man, what's up with that? We practiced all year
for the best of five. Game one and two is not ours. Yeah, I don't know about the games. I was
studying emotes beforehand, so hopefully I did good there. I mean, yeah, we practiced that
zero second goal concede for cinema, and then we find out it's the best of three.
Probably a bad idea, but you know, you live and learn, leave. I don't know if you guys
learned anything to be honest but all right my boy does awesome you made a
sprout out here I know everybody thought I was gonna suck I'm the only one in that
sheet I'm only one of that sheet that predicted you guys I'm so you know
there's a website that has like me and Johnny with a little head-to-head that
says who's gonna get the lowest points in a game there is a dedicated to
that yeah that was you that was you fights you yeah that's what I said it
I was a hit today.
Hey, you pulled them score as well.
So I just want to.
Bottom score with a clutch pass and my boy Damar.
I do want to point out you guys did get
scored on my Johnny boy.
So that's one goal per game, baby.
Do we give the mic debates yet?
I don't know.
What's up?
Oh, this is dangerous.
What do you want?
Oh, I'm just, I'm letting you.
You have the time to, yeah, you just won.
And you are quiet as all heck right now.
This is weird.
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
And I say, how's JG?
How's the game?
I don't know.
Yeah, JG having, we were hearing a lot of talk
ever since we got here from you specifically over there,
tall boy.
What happened, boy?
Listen, you know, we talked, we couldn't back it up today.
The better team won on the day.
Absolutely deserved.
Congratulations.
We just hope that you'll give us the honor of a rematch
on home soil.
All right, let's say, you know what?
This was a lot of fun.
This is what Rocket League is all about for both these teams.
Chocked and first touch.
Let's give it up one more time.
As we said, the whole way.
It was always going to be touch.
Easily win the match.
I don't know.
Did anybody predict Choke in this?
Like, genuinely?
Oh, I had totally put first touch.
First Choke?
Yes, anyway.
The sheet is filled with first touch.
Oh, yeah.
It was all after the whole way.
In this very stadium, and we said there is no way
a team comprising of Johnny Boy
is going to be able to actually see something approaching victory.
We knew you guys were losing.
First touch.
We knew.
We knew.
I think first touch, when you look at the numbers,
we had to come up here and say, look, check the VOD, guys.
Go back.
Check the VOD.
We all said first touch.
Like, I mean, that's plus one for all of us.
So happy day.
High five.
Yeah, we did great.
We're smart.
Did phenomenally.
Wild person, I really want to give a shout out.
Dazzarin.
Yeah.
Who was the easy one?
He had that in him.
Dazz was the best player.
T-Bates was in the backpack.
And they got the dub.
Roll this was also there.
Roll this was it.
Roll this was Roll this.
We only want to play from Roll this.
And he did.
Yeah.
I think Bates, Bates to me, he was a spoken big game.
He did fine, but ultimately does number one MVP of the season.
What scares me is the fact that T Bates said nothing on that stage, unlike all of you
guys in here.
He had to go back to that green room and he is bubbling something up.
I think it's going to be a four hour tie raid once he gets going.
Well, I do think that T Bates was just kind of surprised that he did actually go
ahead and win it.
But we will not be surprised to hear that James Barth has got a play to break down for us.
Might be a little surprising, but we've got some great plays from Dazarin and Johnny Boyle, all about knowing your role.
To be taking a look at this first play, it was the zero-second goal.
Dazarin stepped up this series. Look at this. He knows that this is his moment.
He's got to put this ball on net, and what does he do?
He puts a weak shot on target, and we'll just roll through the clip.
you'll see it sets it up for Roldes,
who then finishes the job.
But then the more impressive play was this one,
Dazarin up against a season seven grand finalist
and E-League champion in Rizzo.
Surely a 1400 rated ranked player
will not be able to beat him.
But Dazarin, he spots out Rizzo's mistake
as we roll the clip.
You'll see Rizzo, he flips off to the side
and Dazarin he rises to the occasion
gets the overtime winner.
but also another player that stepped up Johnny Boy.
It was the Dazarin Johnny Boy matchup.
You have CJ CJ, a literal former pro, and then Johnny Boy.
Surely CJ's gonna get this ball, right?
No, Johnny says, trust me guys, I've got it.
As we roll the clip, you'll see Johnny Boy
get the lead demo from Rizzo
and then finishes the job with a cheeky little double tap
that was 100% intentional.
Johnny Boy and Dazarin, I think they embodied it.
They knew their roles, they shut up and played those matches.
Oh, there we go then. That is what it took.
Yes, I am also just as shocked as everybody,
that Johnny Boyd did manage to score two on that stage.
One GPG, baby. Absolutely.
That would make you more valuable than pretty much your entire fantasy team.
Please don't hurt my feelings now of all times.
Yeah, we do have to go back there.
I'm ready. I'm back there.
Could you not have any of these guys in your fantasy?
Because I actually have all of first touch.
Did you? I believe in them, yeah.
the game. I'm not sure what
you're seeing. I'm very curious
what that would end up being.
However, now have got that other
way. We have to start looking
towards eliminating these from
this tournament. What you'll
see for those first two are
elimination matches. If you lose
that you are out for Casey
Falcons, BDS and G two. They
have all got a second life. I'm
Very very soon, but I think we managed that some of what well
Let's go over to break because when we come back it's gentlemate take it to the field look it to keep their spots
The official uniform no tunes today already TV VCR portable cassette player. Yep all the latest tech
If only progressive and brinches insurance like their home insurance, then we could bundle our cars and get the same 24-7 protection. I
Think we just invented that. It's the best day ever. Well, I still got robbed
It's a pretty good day.
This is the opportunity
to bring that you set upon yourself.
Here we go.
Ash, we still have Cool Stumpy versus Hook and Stax.
We have round three.
Our last game of the day. Speaking of game,
why don't we play some Rocket League?
Let's head over.
You guys can't handle it. We're gonna win this.
So, interestingly, what is your rank?
Is it gold? Have you ever played?
What's a rank?
It's something your example of a British person because he's a bad one. Good luck, Kirk. I'm on touched it
That's good
Love you think you're cool cuz you can fly
It's so good
Brother just staring me down. Let's go. It's left always goes. Yeah. I can't I can't I'm really bad at this
Stop it. Who do you think you are?
Oh wait, I can't see that because I'm gonna know I have no
I think saying they do not have no boost
No, you have no boost because I love the the call out from something like
except that he's got three bobbins.
That's Koko.
Koko's all day.
Koko's all day.
Oh, he doesn't.
Oh, stacks in the air.
Stop.
Stacks in the skies.
Maddie.
As long as Koko doesn't score any goals, I'm fine.
That's the best of three right here.
That's best of one, pal.
Sorry.
So who did you pay off?
I never called someone out about 44 on the scoreboard.
Yo.
Koko hasn't hit a double in his life.
Wow.
The only color that's ever hit is double bogey.
Are you setting?
Are you making golf jokes?
Just facts.
The man who's recently got a little bit into golf.
I like that.
We love.
That's tennis.
What else has Herc ever missed?
What?
Stop it!
Go on.
Herc has definitely backed you in a fight over some people.
Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh.
I missed it.
I can see you in that boost.
Don't tell them.
Oh, you can.
I got that boost.
Don't tell them.
All right.
Get 15.
You just talked about your points again.
Go Kiw, we're still here, you're still here.
Go on, go Kiw.
Kiw's resetting?
Oh, he's got this.
Oh, you lost this.
Oh, he's got this, oh, he's got this.
Shoot.
So you're going to watch Chang, I don't have the pros, do I?
Go on.
Kiw?
Kiw, knock it off.
These last 45 seconds, if Kiw is anywhere near the ball
it's probably not going to end.
You just got to save...
Ow!
Ok guys, I got a good one.
Last go wins.
Go Kiw.
Dude, you'reumpy.
You're doing something you've got there.
You're better than them stacks.
I got it.
Don't, don't, dude.
Aye!
Alright, well, Skull wins.
Okay, aye.
We'll put up on that five seconds to do this.
Time to finish.
Alright, go on.
Don't press high.
Oh, stay low.
That's alright.
Go ahead, I win this.
Oh, bother.
Keep it up!
You know the game ends in zero seconds!
Yeah!
Hand shakes.
Hand shakes.
Aye, hand shakes.
Yeah, I shake my hands like this.
Go play, go play, go play.
Your cast are clash.
World champions are cold and stuffy.
Camihans.
Shut up.
We've had our fun, but it's time for the real
Rocket League World Championship to continue here in Fort Worth.
We have the playoff bracket set and ready to go.
Folks, it's time to start sending teams forward.
Get teams found out who actually has what it takes to be World Champion.
Welcome back to the test.
We've got a European matchup coming down the line here.
Herk works out about it.
Oh, this is a good one because this is the team that shouldn't have been here.
Oxygen has been making waves.
They have actually been really interesting to watch.
And they're going up against gentle mates.
Yes, they haven't been bad by any means and let's not forget that this is an elimination match both these teams on one life
They finished in the bottom four of Swiss as you can see in the middle elimination final right there
But oxygen we talk about them a lot about their head-to-heads
There's other teams of BDS and by telling and they never beat them
But the last two times that these teams played oxygen was the better team
So this is the one team in Europe that oxygen can beat, but now it's land
We know about the mates when it is land they're different they've beaten the mates twice but were those times on land
No, no line. So gentlemen it's a different beast here in front of the crowd. How will it go folks? We're excited for it
The teams are ready. Let's get them on the stage introducing first
on the blue side
They are the 17th team
They are the impossible dream
In vitality in the previous round, I think it's fair to say Gibbs
It's certainly on their right to this stage of the competition. Oh, absolutely
They play fantastically throughout the Swiss Oskie and then Archie in the middle the defensive masterclass
Versus vitality was done by all three members of this team
But this crowd does not like Europe, but they do like one European and that is that man right there joy
I honestly don't think it's possible to not like Joyo. Just one for his personality behind the way he plays Rocket League as well. Such an exciting guy to watch.
Oh, he's incredible. When he is on it, he is impossible. He is the dream team member to have sitting next to you in any situation possible.
But I do, I got to make a mention to Oskie. He's been a tiny threat.
Oxygen looking ready to go. Their opponent on the other side.
Introducing their opponents on the edge.
Loud and clear.
Where the gentleman waits, the EU Four Seats,
something that has never been done before.
And EU Four Seats win the entire major.
They went three on Swiss.
No one predicted them.
Then Bracket, every single round, no one picked them.
They were the true underdogs,
but we saw what that team was made of
when it comes to in front of the crowd they perform.
player one is Seiko the silent assassin not the loudest of his mechanical masterminds
but certainly one of the most deadly next to him is Etachi he must just be a
nightmare to play against. Oh for sure especially when he's on it and back and
same said for Juicy everybody the big question has been can they reset the
mental headed into this match seeing the vibes this is a completely different
look and feel than what we saw in their last matchup they look good.
You have the Copenhagen Major, MVP and Juicy, the European MVP, Etachi, the best off ball player in the game.
Let's see what he does here. Let's see what magic he can make versus his EU counterpart versus us.
I mean, I feel like, gentlemen, they were the surprise of Copenhagen. I wouldn't expect them to win.
No one had them in their top four even, and yet they came out with the trophy.
And yeah, on the other side here, Oxygen, they've been the surprise of the World Championship.
championship. I feel like this is the battle for surprise of the season.
Oh 100% this is two very different storylines and yet for them to be me.
Find out last second that you have the opportunity to attend. You're starting to
get your things together but you're pulling it off. That's what's more important to note.
They have been pulling off when nobody thought they could do it.
I feel like you've got I don't know you feel like a new level of pressure,
new level of pride. The thing in Copenhagen Cole was that like we
We looked at the gentleman and we kept being like yeah okay they won that match but they won't win the next one.
Yeah okay if they won that match, but they won't win the next, they won't be vitality.
They won't be harming or they won't be g2 and then till they're holding the trophy and we're like wait at what point should we have seen this coming?
It's a similar thing for Oxygen now. We're like okay yeah they made it out of the Swiss but can they make it any further than the top eight?
Nah they're gonna run into Seiko right? Are we doubting them too early?
I mean any line is a reset and especially a world championship and especially the world championship for Oxygen.
who until a couple of weeks ago didn't even think they'd be here. This is actually Archie's first ever top eight at a world championship.
So already doing better than he ever would have thought possible. To ask your question, I don't think we can quite say, you know, looking back now, how do we not see the oxygen?
We're going to be the winning team. I don't know that level yet. Get past gentle mates. And to me, that's something we can start having that conversation.
And both of these teams went 3-2 in Swiss, but they lost to top four teams.
We see the Mates losing to G2 and BDS.
On the other side, it was BDS and K-Corp for Oxygen.
If they win here, they'll play the loser of one of those top four matches
and see if they can redeem themselves and move into that top four.
When we're dealing with the player matchups here, there's so much power on both sides.
You have World Champions on the side of Gentlemates.
You have Lann better.
And what Lann Ice fought was the Ice Lord of Joyo.
He does never falters under pressure.
Is there a player to play your match up here
if all you're looking for?
I'm certainly looking at Joyo and Fox.
Jen, I think that was fair to say.
And to me, it's attaching over on Gentlemates.
He's the one, the main disruptor.
He's not the fashiest player, but he's certainly the one
that will make things as simple as possible for his teammates.
And he's the player they turn to in those times of need.
That's a very valid thing.
Another person to also keep your eyes on is Seiko.
If Seiko is quiet, the whole team
feels just a little bit quieter.
And once Seiko is on it and involved,
because Atachi and Juicy, when they're dueling
and they're doing their things,
Seiko can sit back and throw his hands up at that point,
but you get him involved, they are a titan.
And the Mates defense, we always say,
you have to be an amazing team to beat that defense.
They don't make mistakes.
You can either be an amazing team,
or you can be three freestylers as well.
And that's what Oxygen is showing up here with.
We've seen them make plays out of nowhere
that could disrupt the defense of Mates.
We also saw that Oxygen, their defense,
so fantastic versus Vitality, they have to keep that up.
You say as well, freestyle is for Oxygen,
but of the three of them, Archie,
is the least mechanical.
This event, he has scored some fantastic goals,
he is looking comfortable, he has set his game up,
and apparently, in that time,
he thought it was gonna be leading up to the off-season,
he was in the training packs,
and this has been working for him.
Well, it's time to make our picks up here.
Let us know who you think is gonna win in Chatherk.
I know you've been sitting here debating it,
literally up until this very moment.
Literally, I have texted production
two different answers in the last 30 seconds.
And I still don't know as much as I want oxygen,
as much as I love Joyo, I can't go against gentle mates.
They do it.
They pull it off every single time I got them.
This crowd, you're gonna get behind oxygen.
I'm not gonna rally them though this time.
I'm going mates as well.
I think mates are gonna look fantastic.
I mean, gentlemen, it's the love.
It's these events where they play that best rookie league.
You know, I say there's one of all champions
before everything should be comfortable for them.
You're turning your back on Joyo?
I'm not tired of my back, but I must think I'll lose.
That's okay, he's done well.
It won't be sad if they win though.
Yeah, that's true.
I'm also picking Joyo next.
There's a noisy suit of green suits up there.
I feel like I owe it to Gentlemates after not predicting them a single time in Copenhagen
to continue to believe in them until their run is over.
They are the land boys in my mind of 2024.
How does champ feel about it here?
is split down the middle,
favorites in the chat.
It is time, let the playoffs begin.
This is all over.
The tiebreakers are all over.
We have our playoff bracket finally set.
And the rest of our world championship is best.
All playoffs Super Saiyans,
it's game one, grassy microphone.
It's gonna be a battle to see if RG can continue
on this journey through.
And immediately, with number one, he looks like he's got a little bit of something to him.
All the time, so he's incredibly excited to see how he's been forming defensively.
On the other side of things, Gentlemates, they have the forever top fourer in Seiko.
Different vibes going on for each team, and Austin, they are here to take as many scouts as they can
after taking down the reigning world champion.
And maybe going up against the pink wall, but the oxygen from how he's running.
It's gonna be intriguing again. See just how this crowd is gonna be influencing things too.
Archie with the ball to go from low 50 versus Seiko.
And Jorio, he is that fan favourite. Every time he comes on camera, if he will clap people apart,
he is such a sorethole of the person to meet in these events.
And he goes for the attack immediately. In the first minute it's been oxygen, decent fresh.
And it's oxygen need to unite. It can't just be the Jorio show.
And Archie, I mean, I casted it once. He had eight saves in one of those games.
Oxygen, they keep some of the best offenses, especially here at Bay.
But how are they fair against gentlemates who I predicted the best way champions
because there's just something different about playoffs.
Seagal's still trying to get a good pinch towards them.
They have to center it out.
And at least the talk she's keeping off, keep busy to turn around the play.
Juicy gets involved.
Double commit for Oxygen using now a lot of boost to lead us to a transition.
And Archie whiffs.
Just swiped against him Archie.
He did not get nearly enough on it.
There, the enemy realistic.
You look towards the Gent's way to roster.
Talk about Seiko.
I'd like to focus on one of my fancy players, Etachi.
He has been such a non-performer so far in his entire event,
but I'll have to go the other side of things.
He's trying to push against that defense.
Yeah, Etachi, here's his goal.
Sister Saves have not been there.
Yes, comes down the net.
There's Seiko.
Chance for Juicy to go from that back line.
Carries in the backboard.
Etachi trying to continue along with that play.
But Juicy is going to be the man
from gentle mates to push further down the pitch.
Oskar using all his moves to touchy.
He had the crowd behind him when he walked on stage.
He touchedy, he touchedy, with the blue and French swam to him.
You've got to see the support behind gentle mates.
The pink ball is here, and so is Seiko in the net.
Oh, jeez!
Seiko might have had it.
And Seiko takes an hour of his grasp
to the impossible squad.
Oxygen could be seen as the underdog.
But man, they have made a lot of team stress.
This is some of the best Rocket League we've seen out of Oxygen.
I'd say the best in this entire tournament have been the best they've played and your life.
No pressure.
They keep it on your head.
You're already starting for a point where you didn't expect to be.
Yeah.
And Oxygen have a lot to prove.
Especially this man right here with the double of the top angle to cut.
As Atachi brings it to the opposite coast,
Joyo with the fifties almost forced Archie, Juicy got a hand up, Oxygen keep the rally going
towards the back wall, Atachi sends it right back to where it came from.
And Archie's gonna leave it to Joyo and Juicy sends them all at the strike.
And you know what, it's good obstacle, but again it's very very over, Oxygen defense.
Looking stressed, looking stressed, Archie with a massive miss.
A hundred seconds as Joyo clears it from his own half, tattooed to intercepting the mid-bill,
drops it down towards Archie.
Well, the Toskey, we're trying against the way with it.
Seiko didn't get the best launch to really get under that ball,
so it lands in the midfield, then the hands of Oxygen to fight tooth and nail.
Satoshi and Juicy have no moves to really challenge these aerials,
but Jorio off the ceiling to the right,
not able to force it to a second man.
I was a little bit behind, and Archie just head first.
Keep with the ball low, right where Jelovate's are comfortable,
with the must be from Juicy.
Top for Seiko to work with,
But as long as it doesn't go to Joyo, there's a plan for gentlemates
when it comes back to the Orange Hound.
Juicy getting the inaugural musty of this series.
We've got Norman that goes straight towards Joyo.
He's taking his tricks straight out the bag.
And when you see Joyo get comfortable,
there will be a musty coming through.
Leads that ball towards Archie. Drops it low.
Picks up the Hunter Bruce on his way.
There's going to be pure boost advantage.
Favourite of Oxygen.
But the defense is strong.
Pinches out far, falls back down towards Joyo.
It's actually taking a mind, but there's not too much boost.
We might be able to call a teammate in.
Nobody gets there soon enough and Oksin pushes in.
Final 30, Oksin with the advantage.
When gentlemen get on offense, they don't seem to have a lot of boost.
This could be a good hurrah.
Last 30 seconds for gentlemen to find the time.
Juicy to Atachi pops it up quick.
He goes towards the back wall after seeing the joyo approach.
The entire tizango Atachi with the box, but Oksin jumped out of sight.
He attempts the tap and smash.
Yeah, great idea, but he needs to get it in the corner or something.
Now especially the two keepers, go slow, can't get it past two however, final five, crowd doesn't even remind you what time it's on, Archie, only fighting Juicy, does not bounce high enough, high towards the backboard, Archie now attempting a bump, attached you though, cannot get there, Juicy, to pick it up, get the city sports, take game one.
The ball slapped down and to shut out one of Europe's greatest oxygen
This is this is good. I mean, it's only one goal
But for how much they stifled the offense and a gentleman's that's what you have to keep note of oxygen's defense
This option is called a certainly something special as you watch the level one high performance replay
And it's halfway through the game so they can attach their high music attaching struggling thinking okay
I can take it to the corner instead he sends it to the corner of the goal and the crowd
Related to find that new so they end up getting it girl number one
Hello everybody we're in the dark and now the lights come up. Hey, how you doing?
We're like the almost the same height when we're sitting
Yeah, we're sitting down because otherwise the Fraley just doesn't quite work with us to I wore my heels to
I mean the pink wall is to our right and the very threatening Joyo wave is what I'm looking for this seeing
and they got her bad way I guess.
I'll see you taking the inaugural waves and look I'll set you up and then as soon as Joyo knows that camera is going to be on him we'll get it through Archie bear in mind at the end of the vitality series look over the PCs looked at them and waved goodbye as he sent them straight back to France from France.
From forward, game number two, here on Forbidden Temple.
And we see Oxygen with that lead.
And immediately, she's the press.
There is no time to relapse.
What is this place out of Oxygen?
What a good, just heads down, play for Mosky.
The best, we get shot into Oxygen to get the ball
and generalize you're not.
Didn't start game number two with a handicap.
Juicy, yeah, sure, you get a demo power,
but why not take a shot, Archen?
Time and place, time and place for those demos.
Oxygen now is a little bit of extra insurance.
Gentlemen, they have the boost to really send it
when they are on offense.
Like now, Atachi even hops it over
and almost got the connection to Seiko.
But they're not done yet.
Atachi off the ceiling, the drop down to the block.
That's being done.
And you seemingly cannot dodge top four of these lands.
Sinking a goal with the hands of Atachi.
Joyo gets the touch.
If he didn't, Saker may well not have scored that goal.
Brings out his patented...
Kaboom!
...goal explosion with a cowboy hat.
So that's a couple of years ago.
And again!
There goes.
Maybe that's tying up a little bit on the one-set piece of the game, yeah?
Oh, destroyer!
That's that second player!
It was a big kick-off.
A fake kick-off from the first man.
Once he had done to go straight into the guy who cheats up.
Instead, just a little bit too far off the side.
I think it was Juicy.
Not centrally positioned, nearly enough.
Europe in their kickoffs, man.
And after all that effort from General Mates,
right back to the same differential,
Juicy isn't anything to work with in this match.
She at least felt safe seeing Oxygen on the retreat,
with Joyos harassing them.
Oskie has a free backboard.
No, Latachi got there in time.
Now Juicy can't get really above this ball,
but can get past Archie.
Now to the top!
Robbed in the best chance for Seiko!
One ourselves a minute in.
Four goals scored, but three to the good for Oxygen.
And Oskar's tip of high above Atachi is not point able to.
Joyner's going low with Seiko falling off the side wall.
We see these players build and build so far for gentlemen mates,
they've not actually become anything other than that.
Got four outstanding blocks from Atachi.
How did Atachi not just get shoved into a locker just now?
It was a 1v2, he handled that beautifully.
Canada for anything else is funny,
Atachi with Archdiger stopping them.
And Joyner's going to keep the ball low against Atachi,
I thought this was going to the ceiling. You can't overthink it gets oxygen.
I think so far, you're seeing gentlemen, it's not quite had that same glimpse, that same glamour that we normally praise them for.
Double-come-out on the bat ball, get a good bat ball, please.
I feel like gentlemen is retesting the waters, but man, look, this is so uncharacteristic for them to be bumping into each other to have these overestimations on the reeds.
Four to one for oxygen.
It is the best of seven. It is not time to freak out.
This Jorioh up the ceiling didn't have the boost to come down quick enough, Juicy.
Forcing it to Atachi.
One has to get below this wall, but Archie, time and space.
But, gentlemen have been trapping them in their own half,
and Juicy manages to steal some boost,
and gentlemen can keep the press.
How can they build lethality? How can they crawl through these posts?
And Austin may just help them break out, but no, gentlemen keep them there!
Everything done right up to that final moment, and Bobbitt 2 secure a goal!
Take him a few more seconds, the Clashies get me the man to do it.
We are seeing Gentlemates become that bit more electric.
A few more bucks, a few more demos.
Now from Juicy in key moments.
Great shove by Juicy.
The Waters may have started the run, but it seems like Gentlemates find their heads up Bobbitt.
It was all starting with ceiling moves, keeping oxygen scrambling for it.
Now off a kickoff, Itachi just trying to stand with joy against the wall.
Now Archie up high, gets it past Seiko.
Itachi won't let them use the corner too well.
General made some Seiko gets back to the net.
Juicy with the set off to Itachi.
Aski will collect a lot to work with, searching for that second man that's
nowhere to be found.
Pre-Jump from RG2, just keeping that pressure off, making sure Dead Tremates aren't able to work out their half.
A useful knock-out, and Joerg is picked up by Top Gunner by Seiko!
Gentlemen, barrel down, and look at Juicy fight through all the villains!
To set up his teammate for success, gentlemen, now within one!
They brought it back from that 2-0 scoreline, that 3-1 scoreline.
The closest the Vincent's kickoff to the level with Oxygen.
Seiko Arita has boost.
Basky's a little bit close to it, so he's going to shy away from that challenge.
Attaching up high. Can't get around the side of Joyo.
Opportunity of reducing now, put a little bit of pressure on.
After Gentleman's has been pretty past everyone and pinched from Mitachi.
Got Oxygen on their toes, with Denmo's now forcing Gentleman's back, Archie on his chance.
He goes off to the side, Joey wanting to slow down the top sheet, the Lyme games, the Faze,
Seiko up next, Aski right behind, Joey, everyone is cutting out, Barney, Seiko's not going to
knock it off.
G&G see barrel each other out of the way, two goals again for Oxygen, they have conceded
three in this game, 90 seconds, gentlemen, can they bring even more back to them?
Already eight in the second game.
It's just so good at working through that chaos.
There was four players smashing it through each other,
and then Joyo has collected that so fast now.
Creep spot by him in the midfield,
and Archie won't be contested.
Gentleman's getting more and more aggressive.
But how can they find those beautiful passes
that they've done before?
Archie running off to get a bit of a pat on the back,
and Gentleman sends it back, and here's Joyo with a shot.
Gentleman's back and forth they go.
The safe go tips it to the corner,
And Archie wasn't ready, and now he's demoed.
And Tashi can't get a bit bounced off the corner.
And Oxygen are barely keeping this offense back.
They keep peeling away one player, two players.
The defense is unable to deal with every single shot,
but so far they've managed to keep most of them out.
Oskie setting it long.
Tashi is going to be low on the boot.
Can only chip it high.
Joyo, the first to it.
Does give up to vote from that chance.
The final 30 in game number two.
Seiko, a reset.
Oskie's got a free jump.
It goes low.
Tashi can't move.
It throws a barrel in through.
That's an ultimate defender, Joe. Again, with a save.
The Fates have a gentle bait tower, Oxygen staying calm, resilient.
It's still able to keep it point.
Oxygen up by two with 11 seconds left.
And gentle baits, they fought back, but time is running out.
That's it.
It's going to be the moment.
Game number two to the good for Oxygen.
Stunk in freedom from Oxygen.
You see, yeah, we're looking for an end of it too.
Lennon, we go two-nil for Optim.
I don't know how many times we can say it,
a team that was never meant to be here.
Lot of just great control from Joyo and the Reads.
When there's all types of chaos happening
on the sidelines, Joyo with a free jump
will find Gentlemates lacking.
But I don't think Gentlemates need to be too worried.
I felt like they started to find their stride.
was the old gentlemates were more used to seeing.
I mean, you say find their stride, what, 10 seconds to the goals?
Like, they found their stride in the middle of the game.
I completely agree.
But this was just such a kick in the teeth to start you off.
Brilliant aggression.
So those two kickoffs didn't happen.
This would be a different game.
So if Jelway's just kind of opened their eyes a bit on the kickoff,
this will be a completely different series.
These were actually shots in the crowd by the way.
So funny.
I'm seeing my own reactions, different goals.
You explore your team against your team.
The green suits in the corner.
I'm not going to say they're the majority here in the arena.
There's a lot of bullies.
They have a lot more fans here.
There's some bullies going on.
On the desk.
We see how calm the options side are.
Then we switch sides of our stage.
Juicy, making sure they talk it through.
They figure it out.
They then go to a brand new vibe.
Timeout has been called.
They're our first time out here at RLCS Worlds 2024 in Dickey's arena.
It's a chance for both teams to speak. They just add one extra minute.
Discussing those kick-offs is going to be key because two crucial goals out of Oxygen came from that.
And especially figuring out where to best position to react quickly
because it seemed like Joyo was quicker to the punch when all of that broke down.
down. You just saw a minute ago as well, Snasky the coach of Oxygen turning to the
crowd, baying for them saying guys you're on our side, we know you're on our side,
everyone Oxygen turning around wanting to look at the support that they have.
Certainly the favourites here, Darmine a round of applause. It's going to be putting
Oxygen on series point and moving through to a top six. But this is a
chance for Gentlemates to stem the bleeding, stay alive, stay composed.
Any time before this tournament, no one would expect Oxygen to take a series this way, but
the way they showed up to Worlds is an Oxygen that should have been here all along.
The future is bright, especially for a man like Archie who has really stepped it up
for Oxygen that has made this match close, especially defensively.
and Oskie with these way of challenge wins.
So look and make, tell me, talk!
Chance to get this away from Seiko.
RG contests the corner, back to Oskie in the box.
No one there for Oxygen.
It's gonna be a nice little chance for the gentlemen.
Just to alleviate the pressure.
Archie up, no reset.
Gonna step on towards the pampou.
Seiko sending it along into midfield, Oskie.
To receive and a reset.
The second reset.
Finland gets the wave dash.
One, two, flick!
Wide of target, but you see the imagination
Attaching to the wall to continue down the pitch.
What a pass across two.
It's a massive mis-touch from Joyo.
You don't normally see that boy get nerves.
When you tune your luck, you have, yes, some insurance going for you.
Also, don't want to throw the series away.
Is there anyone that gentleman that will be confident, inspiring,
off the kickoff?
Joyo wants to bring it back in time.
He gets a reset, but just sends it called about.
He wanted maybe a better backflip to get that ball back to Oskie.
You attempt, look, the counter attack is juicy,
just a pinch towards the fox and the gentleman,
this is the first time they've started off with a goal.
After the timeout, like you said,
confidence is everything, especially for a team like
Gentlemates, who drive in this crowd environment,
where it's oxygen and have a comfortable lead in the series.
But Juicin has a lot of traffic in the corner,
but about to start to touch him,
Mr. Double, it may be some faith,
it's joemates, Mr. Chance.
There's a big miss on the backboard, Rockston 2, they are far from perfect, a snap shot,
Oskie, he checking the defense.
Seko, now dribble down pitch, only gets to the halfway line.
And it's just going to take over with a low boost, he now sees that one going all over the corner.
He's going to take his chance, Joyo, one to the right, up, reset, gets it round one,
but Seko is going to shut him down, halfway through, game number three, and gentlmates to the good.
to the good.
They're going to still get a control on the ball, just so quick to bring it up, but he's
going to need some help against such a tough team.
Majori with a big win and then Atachi, he's built up great wall-back there, he just
cannot use that backboard or the sides of the net.
Obsession are going to have to be creative.
This timeout really changed things for gentlemen.
Atachi trying to get that one central, we see Archie now starting to wait and
lurk.
We saw a couple of passes come through, no one was there,
Prozinc's capitalized, 10-8, good chance for Attachi.
It's get this one away, Oskac's go to the aerial 15,
Archie missing the chance for a double-touch.
It seems to be a chance, after chance, after chance,
but just that five, 10% missing now,
and a double-take Attachi, nearly pushing past
in a very terrifying position.
Gentlemen are getting boosted,
so they're gonna have to come up with some plans
on low resources.
Seiko has a lot to work with this time,
And the top she just collected, what can Seiko do to try and 50 this against Archie?
The dunk attempt was nice, and gentlemen's can go in for round two to draw out those defenders.
But you see, can't get this past the pinch.
There's Oxygen, it was a pitch that got away from them as well.
Possession has been tricky with how fast the pace has been.
But Oskie flies up with wings, Jorio below.
See if they can connect with the ball that away from either.
It's been really tough to play this fast and controlled.
Grab a different joy there, trying to go for the bump.
Doesn't make contact.
But certainly what they need.
Gentlemates have absolutely controlled this game.
GC, oh my god!
Archie, that lean back defense, got it!
Magisk out of the way of GC attacking him.
Now attempts to prowl it the way down the pitch.
Touchie up high, joy, AC is one on the right.
Oskie with a collection,
boost, flip, sees him in midfield.
Archie with one demo.
Saving the skin of Gentlemates.
One, two, NANIAS, Hypergross!
An Oxygen are really good at mitigating aggressive offenses, just like in their match against BDS, but Oxygen...
...really had a tough time getting momentum going.
Just because you don't have any time on the ball to think, to assess, and to win the title!
Mr. Breaks on Lee just can't stop in time.
The ball had the path, he was not ready for it, he's in breakback, turns away, is able to do it in time.
Beautiful rage from Attaki, just puts the pressure on, rewarding with a goal, it's 2 now for the mates.
And this by General Mates getting boosted off, all of this scrambling is something that individually General Mates can outthink.
And it's Oxygen, that trail, and it's Juicy and Seiko, now Seiko's getting moved!
And General Mates are not making this transition easy, Joyo with Narchi, who do you look at, it's the first third man from Oxygen, can't press!
This is just a dead game for Oxygen and General Mates show up and show out.
Game 3, going away the Mates dribbles, finish it as soon as he can.
That was off their timeout too.
Used to perfection.
We see Eversaaks using his words, making sure there's boys no back to the game plan.
They had cohesion in that one, a completely different vibe compared to what we saw in games number 1 and 2.
They made sure that they were a team that are playing for each other, not just for themselves, nothing attaching, especially finally in this tournament showing up.
And I talked about how I already felt Gentlemates start to find their groove before that timeout because it was kickoffs that are frustrating.
Because out of all the teams that are good at kickoffs, Gentlemates are definitely one of them.
I wasn't expecting that kind of level of strat from Oxygen, then timeout happens.
I mean, I'm assuming what's being downloaded here, but that's something to address.
Along with being boosted, our gentlemen still, we're able to manage that stress.
They can lay back and wait for their moment.
Gentleman's already patient team like that.
You see, Stasky delivering just as many words over to his team.
I think it's so important to make sure that especially Oskie asked to concede in that goal.
Didn't necessarily decide things, but it was solo gold.
You still feel that, you still think, if only, if only I didn't score,
that maybe we had a chance, 30 seconds left.
It's more unlikely, but still.
Game number four, kicking off now.
Gems away to draw one back, but still oxygen on the cusp of that series deciding game.
After finishing with about 150 points,
Joey almost had a much quieter game as the one carrying the cave for oxygen
when it comes to solo plays.
Noxygen can't afford to have one of their best off-ins, but maybe he's at least now!
And RG doesn't know what to do in that moment!
As he just tries to be a wall in front of General Mace's counterattack!
And we're seeing these bumps come through as well.
Finally on the defense, nobody on Gentamate wanting to have any amount of feeling comfortable.
Their comfortability is going to come at a premium.
The player gets oxygen now.
I think General Mace have definitely been going for this box list.
There might be a lot more effectively.
Oxygen realizing all right boys the only dirty will play dead
Archie rising to the occasion
Off the ceiling good control initially, but gentle mates
They lay back they can give up that midfield to oxygen
Take possession close any kind of windows of opportunity from oxygen
But maybe oxygen got to get physical in that same way
Sauce getting views all this food
Then he gets doubled
But it's up to Archie to keep this going.
Make sure he has all the boost in the world.
Does he get under the ball as much as he likes?
Well, actually, his poshie was high up, so that's fine.
Oskie against Juicy, both bumped off the ball.
And the backline stands.
And that's the arch on that previous play-through.
He had that 90 boost and still rotated, being mid-boost.
Why not?
You're going to stunt that counterattack, and you've done that.
That's exactly what that came from, a single-boost pickup
that's caused and changed the path the last 15 seconds of this game.
The show on target is going to make Miss Flips for Archie.
Boost three times, but Tachi is there to make sure that he gets the opener.
Miss Flips is so rare, maybe thought of Aski, but we've gotten in the way in time.
And Gentlemates kept the first one just like in the last game.
Momentum builds for Gentlemates.
They're only going to get stronger from here.
Unless Aski has something to say about it, wanted to run it to Archie.
This is forced to Archie, Oskie doesn't get the corner boost, so gentlemen can play Pop Potato.
And they even get a successful transition off of this.
Strucci wants to get into Oskie's way, Atachi can't do much either,
Can Oxygen do something off this corner, and gentlemen's half a beat!
That's pure comp, there from Seiko.
Three jumps out on the corner, double taps it down, pushed it into the blue half,
job done, see you later.
Oskie goes long, but this evening we know what Joy is going to be waiting and lurking.
I'll do another mis-touch. You don't want to see him the golden boy of oxygen start having these kinds of errors
Gentlemen so juicy giving oxygen back and stealing boost. This is now a boost problem on oxygen side
And Oski having issues joyo not having a lot of boosts
Say go misses off the ceiling, but oxygen to keep clearing and do you see generally thought nearly jump on this
Kowalski against Juicy, getting it past, trying to center this out and it bounces to Archie.
Off work from the side, see what he can do.
Yeah, very off from the side.
And Seiko there, just in the right thing, be patient, take your time, don't need to rush,
you've still got the lead.
Seiko now, transitioning, gets it down towards Atachi.
Just gonna shot off, then runs into the ball on his way back out.
That is gonna be on target.
Archie wants to help it on its way.
the Sega has to try and read both Joyo and Archie committing together and I'm
seeing these mistakes start to happen much more often for the boys in green.
Archie cannot get nervous now not after. Halibut's tournament has been for him in
oxygen. Now you see time and space Joyo, perfect jump to just stifle this in the
midfield. Oskie playing by his side trying to play around, but Jeno makes
their playing 2v2 downfield. They always have two ready in the net making
Is it possible for Oxygen to score?
He's talking about Archie, he's never been a player that I've got most eyes on.
Good because this is his best performance he's ever had at a LAN.
Specifically, he's out for anything that he has done.
Joyo working back on that play, there's going to be under pressure from Juicy.
One chance round the side, up high Juicy rotating straight back in shot on target.
Archie's tap blow can continue on it, but with time ticking down,
Oxygen, they need a goal.
Time is becoming the enemy and gentlemen, they just keep getting Oxygen floundering.
He's solo clear from Archie, Mosky down the hill.
Seiko, there's always someone in that for gentlemen.
We've also seen the Panachemes, they've wrestled back control in this series entirely.
His control by Oxygen now, the story is utterly different.
Attaching right-hand side, low on boost, can't get too much off him, that'd be so magical.
And Magi does not spark on that occasion. Joyo, Mosky back down bottom corner.
corner, the Joyo will take their team up for a big enough clear.
This is Jellmates with a huge response, a huge save, it may only be by one, but
there's still 22 seconds left, but this game has felt so dominated by
Jellmates. This Oxygen is, are they hesitating? Are they scared?
They're so much sitting and watching and reacting to play style is
one thing. But letting Jellmates be in the driver's seat for this long
is another couple more seconds. Oxygen, it's here and now.
Joyo on the corner, Aski turning around with a full tag and Tachi trying to get this on the ground. Zero second!
Aski receiving the infield pass, isn't able to get anything from it.
The ambition was there, the execution was not.
Gentlemates are dead level, three more free done, they go through to top six.
And as I've been saying, Lemon, this has been a genius timeout coming through from Gentlemates.
Do we see oxygen do the same thing now and take time out for of their own? Absolutely?
I think this is the time especially netting zero goals. It's a tough one a
90-point game from Joyo last time it was 150. What is stopping Joyo?
Is it himself or is it gentlemen's? It's gonna be nerves
There's gonna play a part of it previously such a historically icy plan doesn't care what's going on
He's like boy, he's made rocket league
But we gentleman in front of you, you're going to struggle to play a lot of the rock league that you want to play.
Is that play right at the death? Archie does find Oskie, but the defense from Seiko is stunning.
Oskie has registered the most amount of shots and everyone hold on, three shots for Oxygen, but it's the fact that they're just so readable.
He keeps going for these low placement shots that are right at Jellemates.
They're saved so easily. Blindfold the Jellemates can save these.
We need to build thread we need to think about placement if you're oxygen
Building prayers a great way to go about it too, and they're gonna have plenty of time here in the timeout
Another minute this time in favor of oxygen try and stem the flow make sure that with gentle mates
They don't continue on this rampant run through your team
And it works so well previously for gentle mates. So there's they want to in a row easy peasy do that now oxygen you win the series
Who does a lot to figure out on Oxygen's side, especially for a player like Joyo, what is stopping them?
Maybe it is just a mental thing.
You know, laughing smile, like I'm seeing gentlemates laugh and smile, getting back to their form, getting back into their stride, now more than ever.
And it's not just about gentlemates playing their own game, but killing the crux of Oxygen, which has been at Joyo.
And with Oskie being in the middle of that, he's trying, but the shot placement I think is all he has to fix.
And if there's anything else in this shot look about kickoffs, Oxygen, you better pull that out now.
And we saw how prominent the kickoffs were earlier on. They got two goals in all of our previous games.
Cool. Move on with that. We sink ourselves deep underwater.
These players are digging even deeper than that. Game five, kicking off. Two more.
And you move through our tournament.
No time being wasted. Archie involved too. Joyo playing a safe third man.
As Archie and Oskie are now bumping into each other.
It's about getting organized. You're not seeing that in the first 20 seconds.
But Gentlemates sit back. They let them develop.
And Archie too far forward. Now is the back pass to Joyo. Keep it to himself.
Look at Seiko. He's lurking.
He's locking!
Seiko, I think, is on so under the radar
when we look at how this game has gone, this series has gone.
And you know what? I think it's because I always expect brilliance from him.
And he has continued to deliver that level.
He has been consistently throughout this tournament a stunning player on the side of Gentlemates.
Sufficiently one of their greatest players, offensively, defensively.
You've been wherever you want. He's a chameleon and he will perform.
And that has not been any different here versus Octo, a pitch in opposite bottom corner.
to clear it away but only finds Osti. Archie up now for it. Junk. Right hand side is going
to be the site of our next battle. Playing against Gelmaids means playing perfectly.
Oxygen really needs to be careful. These first touches, especially that one. Juicy popping
it up to draw out Joyo. It's Osti, Freddy's, and to the side it goes. Gelmaids, it's
still being forced into their lap as Joyo dances against Seiko. Juicy on the retreat
You have to hold down the midfield, three and a half minutes.
Oxygen, the first touch is what matters.
How you can dribble it across, can't always depend on these passes.
Someone to back you up, and it doesn't start off well.
It's a minute and a half into the game, and do you know what I mean?
It's gentle, mates. They're continuing with this pressure.
They're struggling to get out of that half oxygen.
Finally, it may well abate.
Oskie towards the opposite backboard, immediately chases the man down.
Atashi knows that he's got boost behind him.
Askew away, catching up, finding juice with Joyo with a back pass, intelligently finds Archie,
sidewall pinch, gonna go in the right direction with no one to follow, it's not gonna lead too much.
And in the past two games, Archie's been the best performer for Oxygen, and if he has to step up,
then it has to be him as much as Joyo can beat out of the best player, and then on Oxygen has to peak if they want a chance to get through the gentleways.
I was having a sip of water there, now I felt like I needed to spectate here, but I was going to find his way through.
Trying to go for that demo shot, Joyo lands, backflip, unsuccessful for the imagination again from these boys.
Halfway through the game, attaching up for one, the double is there for him, but Ascii's going to shut it down.
Continues pushing the midfield, Archie now to collect for Juicy, acting as an annoying little brother and taking that ball away.
If Oskir doesn't get the best of 50s, I like that he's still going for the follow-up
and not over-trusting and thinking someone is there, but that backboard is there!
Archie plays the 50! Juicy won at the dunk!
Now Joyo has to get this out of thar, but with no boost, he can't follow through!
Atachi going for a play versus Archie, Archie had nothing.
This team on low-boost defense is phenomenal.
We saw Joyo get a top play from there.
Blocking Arsene saving their series.
Archie up high, Oskir the only man to it, drops him down low.
Oh, you see juicy off the corner taking it, but I'm seeing a better shot placement something that's really stressing the defense
But back their faces gentlemates with a counter attack
Noxity want to do the same thing, but the 50s close it down gentlemates have to deal with Archie
Seiko not floundering not worried and with that demo
He's free on the ball now playing this against Boski wanted it lower gravity against him as a touchy
He holds on, still a 0-0 game for the series lead.
And how dead level is this?
Like, gentlemen came out, they did well off their timeout.
Austin, yes, they stem the flow,
but they have not turned the direction.
Joyo reducing.
Results in front corner.
One minute left.
Game five.
High, midfield, set long.
The sacred shot again, that reverse dunk.
Can't quite secure it.
All four of them towards Joyo, tries to carry it long, but with a miss, they go straight back towards the Tachi.
And these first touches are really hurting Oxygen. They may have to play tighter, just to keep possession.
And now everyone's colliding this open thing up with Tachi off against Oskie, Joyo in net, Archie sailing by.
At least Oxygen, we're ready and waiting.
But just based on possession, it's been a Jekyll Mates game, but who's going to score is what matters!
Joyo walks to the corner, on the net!
Seiko wants to cut rotations, Oskie let loose!
And Oskie steals the boost, but he doesn't have the ball!
It's such a no, the game, nobody gave anything on the ball so far.
Oskie a backflip, sends it high, but only Seiko there.
In the midfield, he takes it a little bit lower, on target.
A shot by a regulation, safe from Joyo.
Catch with a discipline, now he can get a reset over Oskie.
Tatsy, flig, middle.
Gc does come in, and Seiko to keep it high on that back corner.
It's going to be Oskie taking control does get it to the ground. They know that they're on low boost and overtime is the much more
repeating option
overtime for match point
Doesn't matter but what happened in regulation and matters who scores now
Can oxygen find the energy?
Archie with the ceiling reset
Gotta touch it to the side!
Juicy gonna leave it! He trusts him too!
Collide! It's all up to Joyo!
Beautiful save from Joyo. Keeps it towards the opposite corner as well.
Can't have that immediate follow-up. Archie with a reset.
Just looking low, but doesn't need it in the best way.
Joyo. Thus, Seiko to that ball.
Attacks it down. Doesn't do anything with it.
We're seeing option B out. Gentsway's consistently, but there's no follow-up.
There's no secondary play. Juicy up.
Access smoke screen for Seiko who comes in with Joyo on the backboard to take control.
up high, keeps the ceiling, gets one reset, not run the side of Atachi, a minute
into overtime, six minutes without a goal.
It's been tough for Oxygen, the solo plays.
Gentlemates are knocking out the door here and over time, one minute's gone by.
Kowski can win the 50 against Atachi off the wall, no moves, just going for the
shot. Joyer forced to put a hand up. Juicy, we're able to grab possession,
Or even Atachi too, this has been a gentleman's field and how do Asagin get out of their own heads?
How do they get out of their own friends? And show them how it's done!
There's a chance here though, Asagin just gets up to go back, missed it!
That will be on tomorrow's pre-show. That is a top play.
I am stunned that he got the pass off.
Aske securing 600 points in that game.
The shots, you can see so many, 11 for gentlemates, 4 for Asagin.
And Oxygen come away with the dub. Look how she get bumps on his way through. He has to land, put a handbrake on, turn, flip, send it back towards Joyo.
He then moves and he's out of the board. But by the crossbar, he's doing Chenestrator after this game. Can we please break that one down?
Archibald, man, what a setup. We can't stress that recovery in setting up Joyo. We can step up.
It's not the joy of show, this is an oxygen team
that is now on series point against the Copenhagen champions.
One of Europe's greatest, but this series is not over.
This was an extended overtime where oxygen barely pulled through.
Here on Neo Tokyo, it could all come to a close.
The Copenhagen champions versus a team
that were not meant to be here.
Game 6! Here we go.
Now Juicy is going for the solo play. Oxygen in net.
I think it's going to maybe come down to these counterattacks, because generally it's have so many warm bodies in the net.
And it's done!
Says, I can't get them all. I'll go for the man. Bumps him just out of the way.
Any flip that Juicy had is going to be negated by the body of Joyo.
An early lead for Oxygen, so far they've done well with holding them.
Can they do it when it really, really matters?
Oxygen have tried to get physical,
Gemma Mates are just so good at avoiding that contact and keeping themselves alive.
Now it's Oxygen with a finally impressive fresh air of gold to get the spirits going.
Now Atachi and Seiko playing close, Doryo breaks it all up,
Juicy on his way back, barely avoiding Aski, Archie.
A high ball at Juicy climbs up for, as Atachi has the team pitch, but it's Archie, the one
who won against Seiko, and generalmates, they're okay.
Oskie will be the man to receive in the midfield, but with low boost and a flip, he can't just
50 it nice and low on the ground.
Joy with 100, cannot beat out Atachi.
Juicy can beat out to Seiko, shot on target.
Oskie, goal line saves.
Oh, ball fed to Joyo, can't get under it, but he's trying to smash his way through,
through all those if he needs to, but it's supplement in the net.
Okay, I'll wait, do it again, towards you, you'll say, go,
beat them to the punch.
There's a good chance I'll have to do it.
And around from game five, where gentlemen play an utter control,
and Oaksden snatch defeat, or snatch the win rather,
from the jaws of defeat against them.
The Minena half gone, Oaksden is leading this charge.
Archie, smash them out of the way.
I'm sorry, Oaksden, that one didn't deserve to go in.
Garrisha, make it clean the next time, please.
Team Bunk becoming a strat,
just adding a little extra room to the shot.
Oxygen, now off the ceiling, right to Seiko.
Jomi's have been really good at reading these shots.
He's taken everything out of Oxygen
to find the gap as Atachi tackled Oskie,
trying to get rid of the wall.
Asako collects, wants it to Juicy, but man,
a defense is alive and well for Oxygen.
But it taught you a time when Seiko's down low and forces it to him.
But now he's awkward, trying to get better control.
Now looks for bumps, now it's to stabilize.
Halfway through the game, the long pitch between Oskie and Archie.
Found in the clutches of Seiko.
The player that has been number one, fortune to my attention long enough.
Archie there to save that one away.
Oskie to the ceiling, a reset.
Kanthun Kunatachi, who is, I feel like, perennially low on boost.
At the moment of the match, Seiko removes Oskine.
And the double crossbar, there's no point in playing for Oskine.
That was almost insane.
Juicy didn't get the corner to steal.
And Seiko, in my time for his rotations back,
has no midfield for Oksigen.
Joyo, seeing the challenge from Juicy, playing the mind games.
He's on the retreat as Oskine now wins the 50,
but Juicy won't let this center it out.
Satoshi, Seiko on the wing, Archie breaking up the play, Oxy is still up with less than two minutes.
Here is Oxy playing the 50 and it's still playable for toys.
Here comes Archibald, he's been a winner before.
This bull being said high-repeat, he's going to keep burning the boost of Gentlemates
to become a lot more awkward. Oxy wants to challenge versus anybody on Gentlemates on target again.
Juicy everybody on the night being pushed to their limit 80 seconds before the Kings are knocked out
This is still a winnable game for gentlemen's a ton of shots have been dumped into their net
But they only find themselves behind by one
But they got to get up and get loud and it's off ski in the corner
What he loses after staco and here comes shuttle makes
Final minute off ski up to a steam is going to
They potential final nail in the Gentlemates coffin.
Well, this will be the last we see of Gentlemates in playoffs.
They've always been destined for top four.
And if anyone was going to kill Gentlemates,
Archie gets it to us.
And just put the nail in.
There's still chances here for Gentlemates.
There's going to be another shot on target.
Oskie keeping this pretty neat joy on the other side.
She's on her own.
Open up Archie down.
Yeah, there's gonna be another save.
Oh, 80 seconds and Ducky gets wronged by us.
As Altsi and Esports achieved yet another,
and World Champion was not enough for them.
They were left hungry for more.
The Kings of Copenhagen stepped in their way
and were quickly brushed aside.
Not even Game 7,
Neo-Tokyo is where they fell.
This is not the first time where the last time
Jojo was defeated, a crowd of favorite,
And they were destined to move on.
The timeout was everything.
Oxygen needed to focus.
They needed to stick to their game.
And Joio does it again.
The green hair he's believed in this team is believed.
Especially in Archie who stepped up to the plate
when his team was lacking Archie took the helm.
An incredible story for Oxygen.
To knock out gentlemen.
I said to Oskie before all of this happened.
He's a mate, I like him, he's a good lad.
I said to him, call some damage, give us stuff to talk about, give us a story.
After the Vitality series, I said, how was that?
And he said, we did some damage.
This is another cannonball through the helm of the RLCS.
As we look at the mobile and high ball and three-play,
we see just how electric they became.
How much this crowd helped them on the dejected green suits.
We love seeing them, though, here, Lemon.
The passion in the crowd and on the stage is unbeatable.
And it works because this game was always in reach for gentlemen.
A shot's back when it's oxygen that takes a shot at them.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've spoken our impossibility,
but there is one certainty here.
Leith is down on the stage with large Oscar.
I know you guys were chanting for joy,
but I need one here for Oscar.
Feels good, doesn't it?
Yeah, it was amazing, man.
I got to ask you, do you feel like, I guess,
the surprise factor of you guys being here right now
is catching people off guard?
Like, what's going on?
I mean, to be honest, like, we didn't
expect to be here here, you know?
Right.
I guess if we can't expect to be here, they can't either.
It's only quite hard to predict.
That is very true.
I mean, there's a point where it looks like you guys
are just having fun, obviously, because this was
an extra chance for you guys.
Is there a point, though, where you really start to lock in and switch from fun to real serious?
I mean, it's not every game, like, Sasuke did a good job of, like, looking us in.
But after the timeout, we, like, I don't know, we just went crazy, bro.
You did. You absolutely did.
I gotta ask about that, too, actually, because last season, there was, like, a 60% conversion rate.
So after a timeout of winning the next game, this year it's only, like, 40%.
Do you know why or have any ideas as to why teams are having more trouble after timeouts or not working as effectively?
I think it's the teams that get more used to playing under pressure.
I mean, there's more lines.
You know, the new gen of players are starting to gain more experience
than myself without the players, you know?
So I think it's just a matter of experience, to be honest.
Well, I do want to ask you about a specific region right now.
Because we're starting to see the French drop like flies.
Do we?
Region right now, they seem to be in shambles.
I mean, I honestly have no idea, man.
Like, the French are insane, but we're coming up.
So, where for you, Steven? I said, it's gonna be good.
That's right. Let's just get that going right now. One more time for Oxygen!
The surprise of Copenhagen has left the building.
The Gentlemates will no longer contend for the title of World Champion in 2024.
And the Cinderella story continues, Bates.
I asked Cole when he was in your spot here.
At what point do you start believing it?
What point is it like the way that we looked at Gentlemates?
No one really believed until they'd already won the whole thing.
At what point do we start believing Oxygen?
Let's not let them get the jump on us.
He said we might win this match.
Oh, man, Coach, there's one match too late then.
You've got on first touches more than I said.
Archie didn't want to take down every single European team.
I believe the bracket set up for them to do that.
And that's the case.
OXG's going to keep on running the wall.
It's just wild because when they were practicing as a team,
they go to the London Major and they just look flat.
They don't look like a good team.
A lot of us had them on fantasy teams
and we're like, there's not enough numbers.
Archie didn't put up anything.
No joy of doing nothing now they come in barely practicing didn't even know they were gonna be here till two weeks ago
Maybe that's what they needed. Maybe it was just let's go in carefree
No pressure now this last time all the pressure on them now they had no pressure or just playing with house money
And they're playing for fun and they're having fun winning. They're like pick up sometimes just goes a prize
I don't know that I just I'm so sorry that I picked against them
I don't know why I went back 50,000 times and in my gut like everyone else we all knew when you look at these replays
It just oxygen is on one
They're all the way just the office of technology
I was talking to some of the players over there when they're warming up some teams and I could see names and I was like oh
They're just going to buy town with all synergy joyo's playing the best land. I think he's playing alone Tom
Oh, well, don't worry about that highlight
But in general, he is playing his best lane.
I think Archie and Oz gave really come into form.
And when OAG's offense is on, I'm
going to take that over Gino Mates' style
defense every single time.
And then you feel like game three, though, the own goal
happens, and you're out of very good oxygen.
You're going to fall back down to Earth.
It's going to be Mates for four straight, right?
And they do get through in a row.
But oxygen, they find a way to battle back against adversity
and take the last two games.
And man, all three players are just flicking offensively.
And the maids that fast bro. Yeah, that's crazy.
He got bumps, he got bumps, recovers, air woes, slammed it back middle, and Oskie slams it to the net.
When you score a goal like that, you take the momentum, you take the crowd, the crowd's right on the side.
And at that point they're not looking back.
It does feel like the crowd played a factor in this matchup.
They were 100% behind Oxygen outside of a very small section over there.
So Oxygen fed off that energy and took the suit.
Oh, 100%. I mean, every goal they scored, it was just a little trick in here, and you can see it, it's just, it's so intense in the best way possible, and that is a factor that, you know, for anybody that was on Jellmates, it's a hard, it's a hard tough mind in the battle.
They continue to move forward at the World Championship.
Oxygen will finish at worst top six after not,
after being the 17th team in stack.
So, so eloquently coined them here at that.
There's a team that was again, not supposed to be here.
There's got to be other ways to say that.
We're going to find other ways to say the words,
not supposed to be here.
And they put the huge goal for everyone playing intratagly.
I'm not going to worry about you, Joe.
Oh, my God.
Oh, I don't want that as in later.
They're playing on the final day of the year.
They're playing on championship Sunday.
At least 16 to do that.
And one of them wasn't supposed to be here with.
Oh, god, now they're back.
Now they're like, hey, now they're back.
They weren't on the schedule.
They had a previous engagement that then canceled on them.
And now they're, you know.
But this is the goal of every player playing in the Esports.
Playing that final day.
And you never know what can happen
when they're playing that final day.
The crowd probably going to get confused about Shana's
play in the North American team.
But for now, if they're playing Europeans,
as Pete said, they could knock them all out.
They absolutely could.
They could be the ones to voice the trophy at the end.
You see, Oxford and there, they have advanced on the bracket.
They will play on Championship Sunday.
We're playing five matches tomorrow.
So the two Sunday finals, the preliminary finals,
and then the Grand Finals, the capitol off.
So our first team through, there
is only seven teams remaining the Rockling World Championship.
And we are next match year, Bates,
and the other elimination final.
Where does the space station taking on Furia?
Space station taking on Furia.
Listen, you've already saw an All-American team earlier.
Take a W on the stage.
SSG to rockin' All-America as well,
goin' up against the Feria squad that I believe directly.
Oh, wait, I can see it right here.
They've lost twice in a heartbreaker, honestly,
against BD as a first-wit.
And this is the first time, maybe ever,
that a team played three times
and could potentially lose three times
all in a single day.
I don't remember, I don't recall.
Is this ever happened before?
Yeah, at the championship.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lose it to play three times
and be able to chase the lose three times.
All in the same day
and all within a span of five hours.
This is going to be a testament to their mental testament to their reset.
They don't get to go to bed.
They have to come back on the stage.
They have to perform yet again because SSG squad.
And I just love that small note that will be, you know, another American team winning today.
First touch that you owe.
I like how you threw that in there.
Bates, you know, the auto squad.
The crowd didn't believe in us.
The desk didn't believe in us.
Nobody believed in us.
But we got to them.
Exactly.
And oxygen.
It's the same way.
Now they're playing on the final day.
You never know what can happen.
know what can happen space station theory of feel like that is very coin flipping it is it is absolutely here but I mean
It's for a moment before we move on here. Well the players getting ready and stuff. I'm just talking about the Joe mates
And season they have is now officially over the gentlemates fans the green suits are gonna be going home
They were hoping for a trophy here
But they have to settle for top eight and I mean that the story started back in Copenhagen
With a massive surprise and now here they were as favorites in a match
Oh, man, I mean they were the team that everybody counted out
No, and they were under the radar the entire time nobody was picking them and then finally the second they you and me are like
All right, this is the time we're gonna finally start picking them. This is the performance we got and it wasn't bad by any means but
Unfortunately for them. They also
Didn't they went up against the team that was also going under the radar. So I'm looking for them
It was a great season overall though. Yeah, they have to hold their head side
They won a major that is a huge accomplishment. They wanted more here stinking though
Yeah, they didn't get it done by will say going to the season a lot of people didn't expect over the major
No, a lot of people didn't expect indeed. It's good
It just seemed like they were the leftovers of Europe they were a team that formed pretty pretty fast
But they just seem like they've just been left on the great teams and now put in a piece together
Nobody expected you to be this good. Oh, yeah, I'll make a major MVP major champions
I know they wanted more but good first season for them. I believe they just think I know a lot of you like moving
I think that they could absolutely do a wonderful thing for the
gentleman's fans out there of excellent season, a well-earned top eight
finish here at the World Championship.
We're gonna take a quick break when we come back, an intercontinental rivalry
here South America going up against North America, the battle for the New World.
It's next, the RLCS project.
I just think everyone should know there's an insurance company out there
exposing other companies' rates so you can compare them and save them.
And I think that's a good thing.
exposing other companies' rates so you can compare them and save.
Hmm, sounds like trouble.
It's great actually.
It's called Autoport Explorer from Progressive.
Here, look. See?
We show you our direct rates and their rates,
even if we're not the lowest.
So, whistleblower usually means you're exposing something bad.
I've had them been calling attention to something helpful.
You know, like, check it out. This thing's the best.
No?
This is the opportunity.
The dream that you set upon yourself.
Here we go.
The action continues in Fort Worth.
Seven teams remain after the gentlemates got sent home
by the Cinderella story of the season.
Oxygen eSports continue on and have secured at least a top six
finish here at the Rocket League World Championship.
We're going to send another team home, though, today.
We got two teams taken to the stage here very shortly.
One from South America, one from North America,
only one spot left for them in the bracket. And it has been phenomenal this entire way
through. Also congratulations to Joel here two years ago. He's already gone one step
further. A top eight in that event. Now he's in the top six. No far over there. I like
to pace the outside matches here are in an upper bracket basically. So each of those
matches when they get played later on today will not eliminate a team but rather seat
them somewhere else in the bracket. But meanwhile, this middle one there, the elimination
final furia versus space station that's what's coming up here next gives and one of those teams is going home
It's very interesting because furia they have three losses every other team that has lost three times is eliminated at the tournament
They got in here because the tiebreakers and all that they obviously did well in swiss
Lost out on two tiebreaker matches back to back and that was today
They now have to play against space station is one of those teams
They always make top eights. Yeah, and then they always falter
This is their best opportunity out of all of them to finally eclipse out of that top eight
They're playing the team that's lost twice today. You gotta win it. You gotta win it space station at that point
Yeah, this is their best opportunity against a fury of that is
Rattled coming into this. We have never seen a team lose. I think twice and go on to win a world championship
Let alone three times which they've already got to their name and I'm already, you know, I'm taking a look at this
I've always keeping an eye on the players and teams
He was having a bit of a bodily moment on occasion.
This one would be high up there.
Well, folks, it is time now to continue the playoffs.
Introducing first on the blue side,
the undisputed kings of South America,
Austin Manios Filiosos.
Now, sir, in the world, say, introduce this team
as the undisputed best team in South America.
And without question, they are.
but now they're in uncharted territory.
They've never had to play in the same day,
coming off the two Ls back to back,
but in their back of the minds,
they noted it being the space station team
already determined 3-0 sweep, complete domination,
and unlike earlier,
they actually got a break in between both matches,
had time to recollect that might make all the difference.
So what really worries me
is the way that they played in those matches.
At no point did they seem to be playing their game,
especially in their first one.
It was slow, it was not the Furia way.
Their entire job here is to annihilate everyone in front of them.
Instead, they were waiting to see what would happen.
Can't wait no more, lads.
One of the other things we haven't considered
gives us all the other teams in the back
have had two matches to watch Furia today.
We've also heard in both interviews
the players talk about how they figured out
Furia in the match and then managed to beat them
in the match.
And now it's a longer match.
You have to win four games as well.
So, Furia, they look good, games one and two
with both those matches, but now you gotta do it
for even longer.
10 space stations figure them out, that's the question.
I'm excited though to get their opponents on the stage.
And introducing their opponents on the orange side,
representing North America.
Changing USA for OG despite only one of the players
actually being from the United States of America.
This is a homegrown USA team.
This is America's team right here,
the younger brother of the other American team, G2.
So let's see what space they can do.
They've been here before.
Top eight is not enough anymore for them.
They want to eclipse that.
They want to be one of the best in the world,
not just the younger brother to G2.
They want to compete with the G2s.
They have to start here.
It feels like this is it.
Most of the times you would look between SSG and Furia
and you think, OK, mostly going towards Furia.
But if they are ever going to beat them
to get beyond that eighth place.
This has to be it.
Now, Bates, there's multiple ways you can spend the stage story.
Feria, they've been on the stage twice.
They've lost both times.
But they've been on the stage.
They're acclimated.
Space station having to adjust here on the fly
in front of the crowd for the first time
at this world championship.
Listen, I think they'll be just fine right here
away because Feria, they went up against two teams.
They went on the stage twice today,
but they didn't go up against a whole USA roster.
And you aren't here to crowd.
Chicago's playing to it.
The fourth man here might make all the difference.
And let's not forget, yesterday those space stations went up
versus a team that played twice in front of the crowd
with two wins, pioneers.
The strength space station came out
and won that convincingly 3-0.
But you go back to the Swiss result,
round four, Fiori dominated them.
It was a 3-0 clean for them,
but different momentum now coming into today.
To me right now, it's all about,
can Fiori make the adjustments on the flight?
They come out, they have looked good, but there's something about the time pause.
They have one note, they go for it, and once it stops working, what's next?
The best teams, the world-class teams that are worthy of a world championship can do that.
They have got backup plans.
They have got players that can pop off when the team is looking a bit rough.
Have they got someone that can do it here, or an SSG can arrive the momentum of the crowd
into top six?
You feel like it's player pop-off potential.
It is Yan versus LJ.
Either of these guys can just take over a match at any moment
and win you a huge, huge match.
Fury's been here before, but they may top fours before,
but the space station, this is new for them.
They're almost favorites, it feels like in this match
because of what we saw earlier from Fury.
You see here, Chicago versus Lost.
Very a variety of stats on the line here.
My question though, we're talking about how we've seen both in the best of five matches earlier fates
The other team was able to adapt to them. Do you feel like best of seven gives Furia extra time to adapt back?
Or is it that the other there's a space that has really has extra time
Here if they need to figure out a way to adjust when it doesn't work out of the game
I really feel for the Furia boys that they they got to come out of the gates
It's a tough mental block
I mean I plan at this level just being at the highest rank or highest high level of anything you've done in life
When you lose two times and you don't have a chance to properly reset if it ends up going wrong immediately right up the rim
I think it's over the period especially since they got a verse
And now the crowd is clearly in it
If you're a Ferriero fan, you're one of the score fans.
You do.
You want to be able to shut this crowd up.
Hashtag FUR, if you think Ferriero's got it in chat,
hashtag SSG for Space Station.
We'll make our picks.
Show me.
You got it.
I feel like I've already got a commit to it.
When I see something like this happening
and a team sliding out of the tournament,
it's very difficult to stop.
I'm going SSG.
I think the team that is fresh
is going to take down the team that looks battered
and bruised.
Going back and forth from my head.
Yes, they did lose twice.
That was against Europe.
Now they're going up against N.A.
And not the best North American team,
but I feel like I have to ride this crowd
at least one more time.
I am going to pick
Space Station.
It's 50-50 me, though.
I think Sharia will pull back.
Okay.
Oh, they're going to wave backwards now.
Nah, I ain't going to mess with them today.
They locked in with some of those.
I do believe there that this
Feria is too much to take on, man.
They're nice, they're brilliant players,
guys but just simply winning this match right here against this crowd coming off
of two L's is simply too much give me SSG give me a mince I think the team is
going to set in and I think this crowd is going to make the team worse SSG is
going to be the best favorite here with a perfect sweet give me SSG as well
does the coin choose to go with space station does the coin choose what was
well this direction there to go with fury of folks let's find out and it's
going space station. They are the favorites in the building. Clearly by every measure of it in
chat, though, they will still be the favorites as well. 70% of the chat believes in space station
furious fans are awakened active, but there are so many North Americans. The game is ready, folks.
The players are locked.
Field as always brought to you by progressive as we kick things off here in our second
Elimination match, it's our last elimination match of the day.
The last team to be eliminated before Championship Sunday.
Boxer gonna lob one up, looking in the direction of LJ, trying to drop it down in an available spot.
Still there, and Chicago, slow shot, sent away by Grafidio.
Already starting off a lot of speed, we're seeing out of a space station gaming.
No fear you're gonna come out and try to feed you to the ball, but LJ had a good pressure.
You can see these counter-attacks from space issues so quick as they try to make sure Fury don't get going early.
They change speeds a lot too there, of course, Chicago with the little soft floater and then more of a rocket towards the crossbar.
You don't got to get it on target, of course, past the defects.
That's been easier said than done for most teams, except against Fury here because, well, they've already lost a couple series today.
That's how they ended up, as with this seed and in this elimination matchup.
He got to be careful if you are theory.
I mean, thinking about that, two back-to-back losses on stage,
not necessarily good for the mental.
They have to dig deep if they want to stay alive here
at this stage of the game.
Kind of works out pretty well for them, though.
You lose two matches this late into the World Championship,
back-to-back, still going to shot it, winning the whole thing.
But this new format is done for those teams
that got into the tiebreakers, lost,
unable to follow the play after the bump.
There it goes, he had all the way at the back.
He's got a full tank though.
He's given that one away to LJ just about.
And that bank will slowly fall towards loss.
Not much threatening outside of that kind of early blast
out of Chicago, letting to see if Furia can wake up here.
Yeah, trying to get after LJ.
Trefino double top!
He in there, Skaggs.
He got that initial demo.
Went to chase down LJ, who had full boost to Chicago,
had to cut.
But he couldn't get Trefino off the ball,
got the course correction, and landed the double.
Big effort from Trefino.
There's going to be some eyes on him to perform in this series, but he starts it off game fear of the league
To reach this level to be an elite team on the world stage
You can't just have one guy who's a scorer
You can't just have one guy who's the assist man and this furious squad demonstrates that perfectly now again with nine goals
That assists to Peniel 13 and 13 on his own
Just a well balanced attack out of the demons from South America
America initially I was a little concerned because it felt like fury or they were kind of getting the ball away a lot
But when you go with those off-ball plays and throw up space station gave me pretty comfortable in rotation
Sometimes you can find a little cap in the defense to get it initially, but still a one goal game still time for space station
You're going to get the wheels don't
We need a second half now though and it's fury up on the attack again
Yeah, let's kick this spot and scores
He went from an off-ball play to a right on top of this one's got the blue
Look at that. Captain Dodge, great follow-up.
Elgin just couldn't track it.
And it's back-to-back goals for Feria.
Kind of a nightmare situation early on for SSG.
Still plenty of game to go,
plenty of series to go here with the Vesta 7s.
And, of course, the benefit of a timeout
that Sad Junior would have in his pocket.
As Hawks are disguised one up,
and everybody just waits to see what Perfino had up his sleeve.
Perfino again. Try to set him.
Just time repelled again.
LJ is way down the field.
And nobody else is able to dive in quite that far.
We saw LJ get earlier on in this game,
kind of go for a little bit of a free jump
on an initial pass.
Right now, we've got a good bump to try to set up Chicago.
Hawks are actually dodged it for this one here.
Here comes a counterattack, hold on.
The head drops it to Drifino.
They were looking for the pinch between the cars,
but just couldn't execute.
Now here's lost.
He's been so phenomenal all of it,
that not even him, he has as in defense right now.
Hiking down, SSG are struggling to hold on to possession.
They're here just playing around here.
Now look at how much boost they're burning just to try and get a touch
that ultimately doesn't accomplish them a lot.
Now they at least have the ball on the right half of the field
and they get anything towards the net again
like they did in the first 30 seconds.
Chicago, holding through the air.
Lost got a piece of it.
Truffinio will have full boost and possession for at least a moment.
It just doesn't seem like SSG are able to threaten.
They've got to hold this possession a little bit longer,
try to wear down Furia, maybe start them out.
They do have lost, and Grafidio's
got to tackle up to the corner, but still nothing
at the net itself.
And on the other side, a save needed by LJ.
See the cameras coming out still strong.
Furia, the low on boost in this situation is LJ.
Look at the flick.
Little bit of interference here,
because Chicago lined up to double free back for it.
Lago seemed to just stop time for a moment.
by the defense could not react.
Rage got him within one.
You see a lot of late heroics out of SSG
throughout this tournament.
Do they have another in them?
He's also been playing on the course of this tournament.
72% goal participation out of them.
It stopped there defensively.
He continued on this performance.
I mean, uh-oh, exactly what SSG need.
I was like, go and race.
Can he get there?
He does get there first,
but we'll still get the 50 out.
You can see an answer not able to read it.
So Chicago's got to play defense there.
Went a little early for LJ, able to track it down.
Pioneers ran no all too well.
How quickly SSG can erase a deficit down to 15 seconds.
And giving chase.
He wags it.
OK, actually let it go by.
So Hoxton will take charge.
And maybe that little hesitation
out of Fury at your costume.
Only seven seconds, though.
Lost, targeting.
So no, everybody jumped.
Fury has got to have their mercy.
And this will drop down to Chicago, down to the ground, and Furia hang on!
Furia set the tone.
Very well done from them two.
I mean, a big talk. It's kind of been on their defense.
As I believe they had a strong defensive stats coming out of Swiss, but it's...
I mean, of course, we've seen them over the course of the day. It has not looked pretty.
Being able to hold SSG to one goal, though, no tough beat.
Or no easy feat, I'm sorry, but we were able to make it work.
So now it's about continuing that over the course of this one, which again, best of seven between these two.
It's going to be a battle.
Look back at the Mobile One High Performance Replay, and you just see Double Taps galore.
Grophino started it off, and then Yan added one of his own, didn't need the backcourt, didn't need any help at all.
But then on the other side, Chicago got one back for SSG.
It was not enough.
and the Spurion drive those two early goals directly.
You know, the biggest thing about this too
is you didn't really see too much of lost in that game,
which for him, he's almost had more goals
than both of his teammates combined.
75% goal participation out of him,
but you didn't need to.
You didn't even need it at all.
That was Trefino and then getting involved
in most of that, and if they start popping off,
then it's gonna be a big boost to Spurion.
Both teams have their star players,
but it's the Lions who are in support
for making the name for themselves this event.
Yeah, lost game into that game with 19 goals in the tournament.
He's the leading scorer of any of these six players.
He ended with 19.
No assist on either of those superior goals, by the way.
So then a couple of solo efforts.
That's Sinked SSG in game one.
What they have put on for here at Forbidden Temple.
That's not gonna stay up high.
Yeah, over there though,
also boosts from space stations now lost in retreat mode as he will let
Grafino jump in and yet take charge he's trying to line up a double of his own and he's dropped it in!
First one there from the A great pass from Grafino and LJ stopped the danger you know you can't
give him a free back where you gotta put a hand up and if you don't it's in your neck
Right though there, from the Ampuria, start in front again.
Another early goal from Furia,
and once again, Space Station starting off on the back foot.
They had a couple of good looks early in game one,
and then the well-ran dry.
They just succumbed to all that pressure from Furia.
Has to be a much different story here
for the public to burn time out.
They can't solve the puzzle in the next four minutes.
There's plenty of time on this stage to kind of get things settled here.
And this is a little bit of the best that they look today.
Lots of fighting and series here, but SSG starting to kind of get settled a bit more.
It's just about opening up those most important opportunities.
So a big demo from Chicago.
He's on top of the ball trying to get lost off of it.
Pass Hoxer in, assist available.
But again, steal their track and clear it out.
Our Chicago boxer again got tangled up this time over on the fury of half the field and that's even worse because
Neither had much boots and if you're here to get a clean clear
Wide open neck on the other side
SSG is going to be very very careful not to repeat that mistake
So she'll drop down towards the pinion easy save
Watch the follow-up from guys like lost and waiting as well and the ball never gets across midfield
I like the pace yourself from what I've seen for Fury again.
He's on LJ moving downfield.
LJ was trying to force a 50, but he couldn't.
Now LJ, with a bit of a free ball,
takes this off the ceiling, shoves something LJ.
That one went right towards the goal line.
Gryffinio able to not get away, but now he's low on boots.
Hoxler trying to apply some pressure.
Now goes to Chicago, who gets a chance to solo.
You see LJ, he's turning up, maybe he's cutting in,
but he can't go for that one just yet.
He thinks it was a little locked down here
on the Furious Eye.
It does feel like kind of all-in attack mode
out of space station every time they go to the ball they burn up almost all of their boots
doesn't really lend itself to follow up plays and nobody could follow that play either for
furia so the opportunities they're there they're presenting themselves for both sides only
ones may capitalize upon so far a lot of our pass here walk by lost again on the
shot and graffinia just lobbed at the net hey good things have happened for furia
when they just kind of get that token shot for the defense to make a mistake on
In no way since you get a little aggressive on their offensive pushes, you're starting to see everybody in that upper half.
So now they're trying to take advantage, so you can get a bump or just boost skills, so they can be low boost.
And if you're a strike parter on the counter attack, there's another pass play.
The Fino not able to get it, so lost to take control.
Okay, to get this one center. It's denied by Hoxer.
Space Station didn't even still fight it, but they have come up empty so far, not able to get anything going in game two.
Time still winding down and space station running out of time.
This is about where Furia was starting to put that game away and then suddenly SSG found an answer back in game one.
Wasn't enough.
Boxer got LJ waiting in support.
Gonna take it himself and just can't get that ball down at all.
LJ just ranging back barely from the spot at midfield.
able to slow down Furia. Is it enough to send them off? It is for now.
SSG got to make the most of this, but you can tell they are waiting for a mistake for Furia in order to
pound. Sometimes they get caught too far forward, then they have to rotate back just
completely killing the offensive play. That third man is a little bit deeper. They can stay in front, keep the play going, but again they
aren't down. They need to push forward a little bit extra resources to go forward. It just hasn't been working out based on Furia's defense.
A lot more scoring opportunities to SSG if they're going to wear down Fiora at all.
Fiora has been very comfortable on their half of the field, only one in net, but it's lost that comes in from the side.
And Dwarf Sworn would have been another scoring opportunity.
And now Space Station kind of jumbled up in their own zone.
LJ waiting for another touching point. They have kept the ball away from LJ.
And it has been a recipe for success for Fiora.
I mean, we saw this earlier as well.
I mean, I believe it was vitality
what's taking out the event.
It was just saying smart player could not
get on the ball too often.
There's a chance there, but a block away is dyspheria.
All over this one, they're not letting anything through.
Final 10 seconds, SSG are out of time.
They get one more possession.
Can they hold on to this one?
Sit down there, Chicago not able to make contact.
They'll say he's able to get there,
Put the power on, puts it on the ground, and Furia again in front.
We got a couple of one-goal games here.
Because they really feel like one-goal games.
I mean, certainly not that one.
It felt like Furia was in the driver's seat the entire time.
Yes, obviously they had the early goal from Yan.
But it never felt like Space Station was threatening to level that score line.
At any point during that game, only four shots on target.
Only five on the other side for fury. It was not an offensive explosion for either side
And I feel like that is trouble for SSG because they're not gonna win these low-scoring grinding games against fury
No, they're not and again, like I said, I'm getting flashes of oxygen vitality
In a similar situation this LJ only one shot this game
It's just they've been limiting the opportunities and then even when I says you get them they haven't been as threatening towards the net
Your area has been too comfortable in defense
Maybe SSG needs to get a little bit more physical make them just kind of die for the ball a little bit more because whatever they're doing right now
You can tell your sit back the player strong counter forcing us to make some tough defensive saves
And they just can't transition properly to get on offense
Everybody talks about yeah, and it's the easy thing to talk about when you talk about this furious squad and then
You've got lost to leads the team in scoring all throughout the Swiss has been a timeout
called by space station gaming here going into game three.
You get the extra minute to kind of talk things over.
But everybody kind of when you don't look at lost, you wonder, okay, so what's he doing?
Well, he hadn't done anything offensively in this series and furious still got a two
oh series lead.
That is terrifying for anybody else on that half of the bracket.
else that could end up on Fury in Fury's path because they can do this without him sparring.
Imagine what happens when he starts.
Exactly.
So then the time out here is fine.
SSG just on the precipice of one goal game.
They just need a little bit more to break through offensively.
That's where the struggle has been.
Their defense has been fine.
They haven't been allowing too many goals or especially easy goals in from Fury.
So now Sajin is going to talk to the guys and see if they can make some adjustments.
That seems elimination natural worse.
They've been playing fantastic so far
over the course of the Swiss.
Yes, sure, they made it to round five,
but they're here in the playoffs now.
It's not their first time in a playoffs at a LAN.
They know what they need to do.
Now it's time to execute.
This is the team that people have talked about
as maybe stepping up to claim that number two spot
in North America.
Well, being the second best anywhere
just means you're the first not.
They're going to take that next step.
They've got to find a way back against Furia first and foremost.
There's Chicago over to LJ.
Working a little bit better as a team out of the zone.
And LJ probably relieved just to get a couple of touches
on the ball after he was just completely starved out
in game two.
Here we are just waiting for the right moment.
SSG a little bit more further back in terms of rotations.
Not sitting too many forward.
Trying to get control of the ball.
This beat there by LJ, he's trying to force the man to get a clear out.
And you can see it going right back to Hoxton, he's able to meet Dan, play 150,
get first 50, get second 50, because he had a boost.
Tried to see if he could pre-jump, Trafino, but playing it right over his head.
Chicago doesn't have much.
He was just kind of a deep boy there for LJ to take over instead.
But now it is only Chicago in the back.
Oh good, there was very little boost.
And, yeah, up through the heavens.
What does he have, obviously?
Nothing and everybody just flopping around like fish. There's a little awkward
I mean he had a good face for the field, but I guess the video couldn't go
So now what's gonna float it right in front of me either ways me station gaming now you want to take this
It cannot let another opportunity like that happen at the pass cut out though
It'll be a raised down field can lost get there first blocked away by officer
But for sure he had it all lined up another save there as the end had the follow-up out of your video
near the target another thrown in front and another save out of Chicago and
space station gaming that is not the half of the field they want to spend much
more time on but it's the half of the field that they've been the most
comfortable on unfortunately they have just been stuck there time and time again
and I say comfortable because other than right there
haven't been threatening there's a lot of soft shots finally Grophinio breaks
through but they just wore down space station yeah I mean look at that
from the end, pools everybody out, Chicago,
no boost, trying to make his way back,
but Drafino is there, and Furia again,
started out in front here.
This is dangerous for SSG,
especially with the struggle of scoring in game two.
They're on a trap, and they have not been able
to see offensively yet.
We know Furia can help maintain this one goalie
with their defense, SSG needs something now.
Upwards of eight minutes without a goal
for North America squad has lost against two,
and LJ and Hawks are not gonna be great
between them at all.
This goes all the way across,
and yet again, Space Station is kinda
bumbling in their own zone.
They at least clear the center line.
Chicago with a little tour of the back wall.
LJ still ain't lost, but that'll roll up and away.
Lost, plays that one off the ceiling,
looking for games, but Chicago
We'll get there in time.
Good, 50 from Trefino to keep it in play as Hoxer.
Strong clearance downfield.
No one able to follow it up though.
Laws completely kills it.
And again, you're booming the ball.
Just trying to see can they win this war of attrition.
They have SSG or low boost.
They're playing the 50 game well
and they're forcing SSG to use everything
they got in the tank.
Trefino now that's a high ball.
Not a free backboard though as Hoxer can collect.
Nothing else there out of space station yet again.
Forced back to their own territory.
Furia just hold all the cards.
They've got all the answers.
Space Station gaming down two as Yand scores
in the same spot he did in game one.
Another 50, great 50, great follow up.
Yand just tracks the ball so well.
And it's a beautiful shot.
Top corner slot.
Furia have everything in front of them.
And it just seems like there's nothing
that can stop them when they get the momentum going.
We've talked about the effect a crowd can have on a team,
especially in these elimination games.
And this crowd has been very much a pro
space station gaming crowd going into this series.
But they've been left very quiet as Furia
have just about lumped them to sleep.
And they're about to put away SSG a minute,
20 left here before they will have
what triple match point to eliminate space station
unless Chicago and the squad
come up with a big comeback again we know they can score in bunches and do it late
they're not deterred by pressure in a situation like this they are however
deterred and very much hindered by a lack of boost which has been the theme
since the start of game one. This boost game not good, just any L's trying to look for a bump there on LJ
he's gonna leave the boost for Chicago but this leaves him at a great top on the flip reset
and it's just forcing SSG to use all their boost Chicago picked up that
100 in the corner. He only was at least to get to midfield.
Hoxer's demo, so he's going to be low.
Cockle keeps his hand, but LJ has only 21.
Now that they know that their low boost, a shot,
it just can't get enough power behind it.
And now they have to retreat.
There's just hesitation there on the side of space station.
They seem to be moving on with the equal emotion.
He got it!
They needed the lead blocker to run through.
It finally worked out.
And finally, they catch a break.
And he's good on LJ as well.
Sure, he couldn't get the initial demo, still goes downfield,
trying to get it on Yan has full faith in Chicago,
a win of 50, and he just had enough for him to put the shot through.
There's still time here for us to see the tournament around,
but it's ticking down fast.
That could be too little, too late, just as it was in game one,
and they had a lot more time than that.
Yan looking for the dagger, and game two.
Not so much as a dagger, it's just kind of a sewing needle,
like that.
Right here, right here, and good night.
Both full boos.
That's just not what you want to see going.
That is 60 miles per hour.
Now, that's so fast for them to be running, but yikes.
Seven seconds remaining.
And space station gaming is going to be one of their nine.
Well, what else is going to go wrong?
That one gets through for Furia at 16 miles an hour.
They get another victory, three on the trot,
and now they've got four shots at closing out SSG
and moving on to Sunday.
Oh man, look at that time.
He's saying it's too easy.
MVP of that game, of course.
Couple goals from him, three shots,
a save and an assist,
and we're taking a look at the mobile one
high performance replay,
but it's been Furia who have been in high performance
all series long.
They bought everything, worked for them.
All the parts are put together.
It's on SSG to change the narrative.
Again, limited in the shooting department.
Only three shots.
Two from one for Chicago, one from LJ.
They just have not been able to break past, period.
Is this how they go out?
That's just a mounting frustration.
They burned their time out and nothing changed.
They were still very hesitant.
Yep, Phil got bundled up a lot.
The spacing was not great.
out of space station at all through that game.
And Furia have just picked their spots.
And it feels like if they really wanted
to wrap up the aggression, they could double their score
in any of these given games.
They have just managed every single game.
And yes, that has allowed space station to stay close.
But that's the key word, allowed them to stay close.
Doesn't seem like SSG has much energy going into a game
they must win.
What a poor in a row they must win
for their world championship is over.
Space station gaming backs against the wall.
No timeouts, no lives left as we start game four.
They have shown no signs of we're taking this series over.
In any game, will they show us something now?
They'll have to reverse the Uberia team
has not been successful at the world stage.
Oh, drop that down to Elger, and even that one save!
And Zerfinia cleans up the rebounds, even when Space Station can get that close.
Furia slammed the door shut.
And yeah, it almost got to that ball.
Lost shot blocked away, wide by Hawkser.
This Space Station, that sets emergencies there,
but I'm not sure what Chicago and Elger were to accomplish with that effort towards the back wall.
ball and yet again Furia with the store immediately bumped out now
transition from Furia look at that look from lost. Loatwuz doesn't need to double but LG went up to block it out.
Hodgson looking for the bump to kind of set up some space so it's going to be double commit.
LG downfield to Hodgson. Hodgson wanted to skid to the cross but she kind of was there just in case he lost it.
And again Sydney towards net but Furia have been in the right spot every time.
So almost got a chance to put that one on.
It's a good thing for an LJ, but it has not been enough.
Fiori have done a great job also of cutting off
all those infield passing plays.
Space station have tried to go into the corner
and get back out towards the middle.
And somebody from Fiori have been there.
And it's him all single time.
Field is open.
Chicago dropped down.
Follow!
No!
Space station have its first lead of the series.
Finally, SSG leaving Fiori a taste of their own medicine,
But this time they're a little bit more physical, connecting on a lot of demos.
Force and fury with low boost.
They make the net wide open for Hawks, sir.
And he's not gonna miss it.
Not now.
He can't miss it.
SSG need to hold on here.
They're seen even from their days in North America, teams like Fury out.
And that even phase when they were around, they would have players
not asleep on the opposition.
You see them on the camps online.
And what happened?
That blew up in their face.
Yeah, it looked like a bit of a nap earlier after game three.
Keep that in mind as this rolls on towards halfway mark.
SFG, at least looking a lot better in one of the games they must win.
After you can see them play from behind,
series has been smooth sailing for them so far,
which you have to give credit to them
because coming off of two losses like that at this stage,
Didn't being able to just battle back, I mean this is like you said, the best they've looked all day to day.
Which again, must win elimination match at the World Championship.
They've shown up.
Now Kinessa G turned this one around.
They have to go game by game for them.
They're already with a lot of pressure here in Game Cool.
Our Chicago has pushed that one wide, all the way across, across again.
Nobody on the other side of it except Lost.
All three from Furia.
They said it's like they were fighting over possession of the ball.
That's something you'd expect to see with a single lead.
Not in a game like this.
And it turns into a save on the other side.
Could have very well been a second goal,
and that could have been a quick one for Furia.
This is still a little awkward for SSG though.
Hotshot has to get past.
He can't go for the ball.
But he does force him up just with a bit of a threat.
Now SSG able to get some space here.
Furia is starting to get a little tested.
And we couldn't be seeing a bit of a shift.
It goes Yann, nothing there, it's a cross.
Thresher still from Furia, minute 20.
LJ looking right at Yann, trying to go past here.
Followed from Chicago, he stayed back,
instead of diving in, he was trying to play that ball from loss.
Has not worked out.
Now they've got everybody forward, but still nothing in the net
as that pinball's back across.
They save a minute to go.
They got a chance here.
Good pass, yeah, shot all over Chicago.
See, they're not getting away.
LJ, able to get down past in.
Lost, trying to get going.
Great win on the 50.
He was able to read that touch perfectly.
And now, Peria putting the pressure on SSG.
They're trying to get this one stuck here in the midfield line.
Chicago, a nice touch, but it knocks the ball out of the way.
Lost, a good one there.
And now, Hanser, he's using a lot of boosts.
LJ, great first touch.
You can catch up to this.
He didn't hit the flip, but he tried to hit it
for a flink to set up his teammates.
This is great positioning now
because they can run down the block.
All they got, as that one just went a bit wide.
LJ, as a result, lost couldn't get back
and LJ just barely squeezes it through.
Yeah, he talked about the way to the midfield.
Bozo was also the one point game,
forcing him to just kind of dive,
panic there a little bit, and now SSG,
not only with a couple of goals,
but feels like a little bit of a miss,
and we can't let this one get away from him.
Good knock away from LJ as Furia is still hunting.
They're still very dangerous.
It comes down to the final seconds.
Final countdown of game four, barring something miraculous.
We'll see a fifth as Space Station gaming
have sounded the alarm.
And Furia had better wake up from nap time.
That's game at a time.
That's the roar that Furia did not want to hear.
They've given the North American fans here in Texas
a reason to cheer, a reason to have a little bit of hope.
And as that trickles down towards the stage,
that energy can fuel, dare I say, a reverse sweep.
It could.
You think Fury are gonna sit idly by
while that happens.
You are wrong.
SSG will have to play perfectly.
The remainder of this series,
It's a little bit of energy in this building behind Space Station Gaming. It is only one. They do show up to win three in a row and it's still a
a daunting task as we get ready to head to Aquadome for Game 5.
But we are going to a fifth game,
and that's just got to cause just a little bit of a doubt for Furion.
That's what they have to overcome.
Now as we kick off our drift,
the kickoff should not go up for that way, okay?
Alright, we pretty jumped that.
Can't necessarily get the ball to him quickly here,
but almost a great start.
Talk about game by game, if you're SSG.
That's where the mentality has to be at this point.
Season on the line, you lose this and you're done.
It just becomes mental warfare at this point.
Survival of the fittest upstairs at space station,
as it orcs.
16 of reverse sweep, a timer two.
Let's hoxer, waiting for Jan's effort.
That loss, give it a lot of time in space.
Get with that play as it goes out to the side.
But he did win the corner boost race against Hoxer.
That good half first space station.
White is there.
Big clear by Shikando.
And Grapeño's got all that.
The pass ran up early.
And a lot of boost.
Didn't know what to onto it.
SSG playing a lot closer.
That's a good ball.
Hoxer off the bar.
Oh, they follow up Grapeño.
Good free jump.
Oh, but it's still awkward here for Furia.
How's they made?
Shikato's dead!
as survivors, LJ perfectly placed, Chicago where he needed to be.
And all of a sudden, things look a little bit different.
Momentum, squarely on the side of space station gaming.
Can Drapinio hinder it just a bit, not this instance,
as it's Hoxer out of the fray.
Whose ball falls towards Chicago?
Hoxer with a boot steal as well.
LJ coming on down his way back and
Buria just narrowly avoid what would have been a rocket of a shot out of LJ
Yeah, but we're starting to see fury now in the trial here offensively
Feels like things could be shifting
Lots of time left though he came by
LJ, gonna go up the ladder with this one. Got the flip, but you're still early challenge. LJ looking for a pump on loss
He can turn on this, and we just missed the boost bond,
so we'll have to play into the 50.
Demo on the play-goal, Hoxer's out.
Chicago last back, has the pre-jump.
Again, putting the pressure on, but Chicago maintains,
holding this, and gets the stop.
What a great recovery, Jude.
Great adjustment in the air out of Chicago.
He's seen a thing or two.
As that's going to go to the corner of Chicago,
with a full tank, he took it,
where Hoxer was also there.
And look at all the time that loss has.
He was able to grab his own back cruise, bring it across and burn most of it.
And as a result, double A station, lining up a double, dropped down in front and lost, made that look a lot tougher than he had to, but he was the only one back.
LJ waiting, still just can't time up a boost deal on the other half.
And watch out, fury on good-ass numbers here, but Chicago cuts them off.
redirects the boxer to put that on target as well.
Lost will track it down, away to Chicago.
Able to get a beat.
Does he have some more force out there?
Just couldn't connect.
Well, they've been so good throughout the week.
Just a rare case where the passing has not connected.
Here goes Chicago again.
Locked by Yan.
And Boxer can't stay with that either.
Furia.
Just about a free ball of Chicago.
He's got a really good around Yan.
just barely dodged it in, able to get the ball through.
That gives SSG so much speed here, or field positioning.
Now they're trying to get boost grabbed up here.
This could be SSG extending the school line here,
starting to see if you're going to take a little bit more risk
going for some of these bulk plays
to put themselves not necessarily in the best position
on the doofus at the front.
Right where my LJ, then running through,
going head-on, he became up at 50.
Here's Yon blistering.
Shock! Oh!
He swaps up the bottom of it just yet.
Oh, delayed his flip, but it's still cleared away.
They did not pull the defense of SSG, who holds strong with a one goal lead.
Their position has been so much better, they've been able to get through the ball a lot faster,
and it's making serious struggle here on offense.
They've had a couple of good counterattacks, but they haven't had the consistent pressure we're used to seeing.
I don't have enough points if this continues on to a seventh game.
So far, went through four and almost five, and Space Station still hold a lead that would force a sixth game.
As they try to do the unthinkable here against Furia.
Lost ball for Big Red.
No follow-up, is it?
Just get past the Fee Heal.
That is way just a little too slow.
Hawks are escaped danger for his face station.
Now with only 30.
If they feel pass, good.
What you cut out here?
Like I said, final 30 seconds.
Three of the ball, one thing wanting.
They have to see if they can.
Blue Star about SSG here.
The Fee Heal going up.
It'll be LJ.
He's there to meet him.
Chicago backs full blues.
Tasha's sitting in that one, 60.
He'll need to turn on this one quick.
This is not what you wanna see though if you're Furia,
so clock ticks down.
Final 10 seconds, SSG, moving up in.
It's still a long play game, lost.
Pushes down, no, he loses to Chicago.
Aljane will keep this one up,
and Furia will have to go across the field.
Okay, yeah, they do it.
He starts this one up, has the flip,
gets it to long first half.
And Furia getting it closer to their own medicine.
Now we're sleeping out.
Nope.
The question here is will we see a timeout for Fury?
They still have one in their back pocket.
They do.
But you see the crowd getting a little bit hyped.
And it says, gee, showing their fight
with their backs against the wall.
I think it was Gary G. once he said,
like with those headphones, you don't necessarily hear them,
but you feel the crowd and Fury,
no doubt feel it on both sides.
They get to see the fans.
I've had those headphones on myself.
Yeah, well you can see him looking across and you can feel him behind you
Yeah, you feel that vibration that is this whole arena right now is against you
And you've lost two games in a row have not been able to score after you felt like
Here there was no threat to them at all after game three all of a sudden wake-up call
This is another 60 seconds who has grabbed a chant USA
Good grief. What a turnaround out of space station gaming to get outscored only
Six to two in the first couple of games three on insert of their own
To completely turn this series around Neo Tokyo waits in the ballots now
During this time out it'll be the last time out of this series both teams have used this when the space station took
There's after game two nothing changed.
Furia using theirs now.
Cows getting into it.
This is exactly what Furia did not want.
We have not silenced Stiffy's Arena
space station gaming as we get ready for game six.
Do you want to see a game seven?
Answer loud and clear.
It's on space station to deliver after the Furia timeout.
It seems so lost that an extra minute could mean so much,
but it often does, particularly for a team like Furia,
particularly for coaches like EverSax,
who we saw on the generate side.
It was lost.
I know.
Weave his way through.
LJ with the stop in the first 30 seconds.
Least belong to Furia, but nothing on the scoreboard.
Tango in the 50s.
Hoxer in a really tough spot, but knocks it away.
LJ back in time.
Tosh Kakel took up the corner.
Will he be there in the midfield?
LJ getting it through.
Shikakel was there.
Laws though on top of the Hoxer.
Low boosted.
Laws trying to stay on top of this ball.
But LJ helps his teammate out by just getting
in front of him and throwing him off track.
And Gryffinio trying to catch and hold.
And the shot is usually set out by LJ.
L follow up on a period where second and third, maybe
four chance opportunities for enough to sink space station early in this series and bury them under relentless pressure
Space station have limited those extra opportunities
Area now need to find a new path into the SSG that
It's magic. They've seen disaster here on this map in particular stacks
Oh teams looking for a chance to break through
That demo actually kept possession weirdly enough for now.
LJ is just going to take his time and everybody is back in.
See, Hawks are a great initial touch here.
Trying to stay on top of the ball.
Fury though, getting more and more physical.
Free ball here, SSG, not able to get a feel like they used to.
That clearance will give them a little bit of room,
But it has been period kind of dictating the pace. Both teams have been matching left and right with speedy air, but no one is slowing down.
Well, you know what both teams are trying to accomplish at this point in space station have been the better of the two at
negating the opposition's game plan. At least on the last couple of games, LJ can take that himself.
And the easy stop. Can he turn it into a counter-jump on the other side?
Buster's low move!
Buster's low move!
We are getting a save!
Save there, and it's a great save as well, because it stops the chance for a follow-up.
Walls has to go up and try to wrap it around, but now this gives Chicago plenty of time.
He gets the control, plays it 50 out, and gets a lot of room here.
You see Laws having a battle back.
He's playing into the side wall for Yan.
Yan, great control.
Has to flip.
What's the playoff?
The bad boy, Bahatch, are there to deny.
Things are getting very tense here.
We're at the bottom half here of Game 6 if you're here knocking out the door.
And mistakes must be very few and far between because they get magnified in a point like this in the series
SSG has done so much to bring it back to Neo Tokyo
Still one more leg in the journey
Gotta get out in front here. LJ has that bounce away so Chicago
Chicago he wanted to get the bump there on you and they want to set up LJ for a shot
Here's LJ, obviously he got the dunk on the backboard.
Chicago's there, he wants to get a follow up as well,
but just cut out.
Space Station Gaming though, lots of pressure
if you're diving and they all start to run out of boost.
That's gonna be a good clear though
to give them a little bit of time.
So what else can they pull from their bag of tricks?
Space Station Gaming gonna need to give maybe
a little more creative.
Hockster, right of dashes way through.
LJ, waiting and tracking,
making sure it doesn't get scarred out.
And he can use that boost to crisscross with Chicago.
Relatively, as he saves, given the kind of attack that Fury has had.
Here goes LJ now.
Wendy to work with, going for himself, and cleared out by loss.
Change for Chicago, he's looking for the quick drop.
Won't get it, though.
Will be controlled by Yan.
That's a big clear.
LJ, last back, has to get the proper touch.
Gives it to Hofstra to clear.
Chicago gonna play this off the side wall.
They're forcing Fury to play back from their own hand.
Both so far, no team's able to really make a big mistake,
but you can see Fiora just getting a little bit uncomfortable.
Little big bomb, as Graffino was going for Alj,
but Hoxer was there to cut it away.
30 seconds remaining, and went for it to him, and gained 6.
Dangerous ball for Lachman, he knew he had Graffino over there.
He still got a nerves of steel. Couple demos here.
Hoxer getting both.
That hymder is Fiora, yes and enough.
Graffino turned, and it was very ambitious.
Now Yan with 15 on the clock, overtime looming and another must win for SSG.
They've kept Philly off the scoreboard, have not been successful on the other end.
Chicago just lob it forward.
SSG surely would just love to go to overtime and we will.
Overtime, game six, you can't hesitate.
No room for error, here we go.
SFG trying to force the game seven.
Furia, one to move on.
They lost all game.
They're so close to a win here on the world stage.
LJ will have to get to the clutch block.
Lost trying to play this in front.
Got to try a little harder than that.
Trefino got it through and LJ with nothing in the tank
makes a heroic save but now lost.
Going up high, got the pump as well.
Boxer knocked out of the play.
He'll finally recover.
LJ got to get there, no, it's Hoxner.
That makes the save instead.
He's doing a lot with nothing in the 10.
Now LJ on the counter, under Neath,
and Chicago will do all they can.
Again, he's got the clear.
And everything got a little frenetic for just a moment.
Neath's about to stabilize.
Lost, looking for the win.
Ah!
Watch out because Furia getting maybe a little antsy,
seeing that wide open net would get caught on the other side.
Here goes Yando.
Let's reset now, he didn't use it.
Lost now, he wants to keep this one in.
No flick, good touch from LJ.
He forced the Fingal up,
Chicago has a little bit of room.
He's trying to send this towards LJ, just to the corner.
LJ wants to get it in, he doesn't get a beat there,
but Yan was ready on the back wall.
Now Yan, he'll try again.
Boy, every time he starts from the back line,
he's gonna venture your seat stuff.
You're wondering when you're gonna see
another Worldly out of him.
You're not gonna see one of those game wraps up.
Elgin!
And Chicago just pitched that on the timing, just narrowly off.
Now lost with some boots, SSG got a little low, but now they finally did get pitched enough, big demo on the play.
Hoxer picks this one up with 0, 50 down.
Chicago back to Hoxer, Elgin's behind him, he plays the fifth throw, Jack, open up his web!
Chicago and Poc just went up for the time being, SSG needs to get boots and needs to get back!
There's the transition, lost shot, locked him out from the hoxer!
It did get back in time.
Now, LJ.
Now, half-Hoxer in support back in midfield.
Chicago's the one that comes in from the side.
Easy save by Yan.
Now, LJ on the opposite side.
He'll stay with the wall.
Might be able to stay with this play, but did not pitch.
Here's Hoxer.
Serving it up.
And it's cleared out by Yan.
Good read there from Yan.
Able to cut away the danger.
Oh, my goodness.
Set right back, though.
Not able to hold onto that ball.
Little bit of space here.
First base station to be in control for the most part.
LaFuria are making sure if you overcome it, you will get punished for it.
And indirect looking for himself instead, finding the opposition, finding Chicago.
How's the senior?
Just hoping he can reach the center line.
If the dot worked out, loose ball up high and lost takes charge.
Both teams, the Geeks got to be setting in mentally
As Hoxer kind of an off-base up, and Elton's got full boost, needs to challenge here, and Chicago will dump it out to the corner, so things settle down, though.
Got real hairy there for us this week. Now that's net worth, and LJ, a boys' contest, makes the same.
Okay, so it's time to bring right this one around.
Oh!
Hoxer, good touch forward, lost all the boosts left, and it takes it clear.
He ain't able to fall forward, he's gonna go back, he's low boost as well.
Huxer will take some time here. He's got LJ to help out and LJ won't be needed
SAG trying to smoke me down here take their time, but it gives period a lot of field positioning
That's the first up to make that second available now Hawkser. Oh chest about ran into one
He's got all day to play with this wall though. Now Chicago for LJ
It's a lot wide, far across.
Space station, you can't be impressed at the pressure just a little bit.
And since you're trying to bump out here, you're trying to create a space.
But that's big space here.
Walls can't go, he's up too early.
Trifino, last bat, Chicago.
Hard to stay in your seat and stay focused when you get that close.
Trifino, dive ball.
And it's gonna be Chicago that catches in the corner.
Big win there for Trifino.
several near misses lost almost
Finished the job and then the follow-up was so delayed from Furia that Chicago had enough time with nothing in the tank to make a
desperation backflip and then
Chicago
Finishes the job in game six
How long ago was it that land took a nap now?
Now we go to Champions Field!
Hey, Station Gaming!
It's anybody's game at this point.
No timeouts left, no lives left.
This demands greatness.
It just feels like Space Station
with so much momentum now.
But it can all be erased, and it often
is, on Champions Field.
Huxer, that's going to drop down.
Lost got to stay with it.
He did so well enough.
Had Raphinha a clever play to get around,
but now Hoxler's diving back in.
That's something that could cause some fits for Furia.
LJ up the ladder.
Rain falls down.
More tears when all is said and done.
And takes charge with Lost turning back.
Lost, by the way, yet to score in this series
after coming in the leading scorer of these six players.
He's needed here and now.
The area.
They had four chances to take down space station gaming.
But as we all know, it's so hard to close out a game on land.
Chance there for Gamble.
Oh!
Oh!
It's a tie!
Lost the tie, too!
No panic.
Yes, it's high.
But they just had follow after follow.
And the space station defense could not guard everything.
first goal for Furia since they put away game three.
I don't see the levels of success here when they needed.
LJ, he's the past one.
Will he sit down, field to Hoxer, who looked to collect.
Lost a great 50, he was in a low boost, and Chicago will pick this one up.
Tried to play a push, but Trefino, great read!
And go!
Just as suddenly as Chicago ended game six,
Grafino has put Furia in front in game 7.
SSG held Furia scoreless for 20 minutes, but now, when the pressure's on,
how is it? He's not to come alive.
He almost crumbled there. Very dangerous.
Good block, right in the corner.
That slowed down SSG, but here they are back on the attack.
LJ the center and nothing there as Drafino has an easy clear watch Chicago
And had it saved away LJ look in the center needs help doesn't matter
Here's this moment this is g-balance a behind-the-field shot
LJ
Trying to get this one midfield, but again the double commits are coming through space nation gaming
It's having a fight.
They've got the fear positioning.
They've got the pressure.
They're making fury a little awkward.
He doesn't have any boost.
Chicago wants to keep this apart.
Toxer, me.
To LJ.
Can LJ get that?
All right.
Drive the slow play through the air.
Make himself as big as he could.
And now Chicago watches Lost.
Clear that one away.
He can only watch helplessly as LJ has to go to work.
Toxer has one bounce past him.
And Chicago gets back into the play with Lost racing him to the ball.
at least going the right way for SSG.
They've won three in a row, but they find themselves still facing elimination.
Have they come all this way to fall just short?
Lost and denied by Hoxer.
And then we'll keep up the pace.
And the Dago goes by Lost.
Double commit.
And this is trouble for Space Station.
That two struck in the corner, but finally clear out.
Shagaga's used all the Busei and Let'sy get there in time.
Dan will not be able to get that one for free.
Now they can get their first because when it's a challenge he's looking for the
bump on loss but loss clears it and everybody gets some help. Does he have the
redirect? No, leave them for loss!
There's the band all this time. Just finding his time, winning for the right moment.
One big 50 against one defender and that may be the backbreaker.
SSG needs something now otherwise they fought this hard.
And for what? It's a big beat there from LJ.
Chance there for Hoxer. Oh, long throw. Big pre-job.
He broke that shot perfectly.
That'd be time for LJ to say, give me the ball and get out of my way.
But right now, he's giving it up for Hoxer. That's what's saved by Yan.
Chicago, taking it himself all tonight.
LJ trying to play table center again. Love it forward.
SSG need to send all hands forward at this point.
And they all are his LJ.
It's Kago down, Chicago!
Six goals including an overtime winner for Chicago.
Here goes MJ.
And he had it go well wide on him.
Just couldn't stay with the play.
It looked like he had it all lined up.
Navdraffino back the other way.
It is Hawks are taking charge.
He set it to the middle.
Boy, Cardinal Sin almost got punished.
Navdraffino with 30.
Looking for yet one more knockout blow.
Space station reeling, but not out just yet.
Chicago dove in, and he just didn't have the read.
Now down to 15 seconds.
LJ beating in the corner, grown in front,
but Chicago's got it.
They got to go.
They don't have to knock out just yet by the countdown.
You or die for SSG.
Get a scramble.
Boxer, one is worse, and it's going to go to the left.
By the scan of one goal, difference.
a game seven.
But the story is not done yet for Furia.
They survive in advance in the lower bracket.
The third time truly was the charm for Furia.
Two losses earlier on the day.
And hey, they did enough to win another best of five
if they had only had to play that.
Instead, forced to play three extra games
before they get the one out of four they needed
in the most dramatic fashion on Champions field.
Yeah, after those two losses earlier in the day,
you think, no way.
This is all SSG, they get the crowd behind them,
they were performing at a high level.
Here it comes into this series and makes a statement.
The SSG backs against the wall,
forced it all the way to game seven.
And even then, it just wasn't enough.
Furious said no at the doors as they move on to play for the world championship.
The roof was going to come at this building until Drafinha brought things back for Furia.
And then ultimately the dagger, the serious winner, coming from lost.
And in the end, it is Furia that survives to take out SSG, at least standing by.
You gotta give it up right now for Furia!
Now of course you heard the crowd roaring a lot of times for SSG here.
I want to ask you, I mean in a series like this, how are you guys handling that roar
and that thunder and staying focused in the match?
I don't know, I think it's better for us, you know, the crowd is amazing, so it's
So good for us, hype us, and it's incredible.
Let's walk through the series, because a lot happened.
It looked like off the bat, you guys had this lockdown.
I think at one point I saw Yan leading back,
like he's like, all right, series is over,
but things turned around.
How confident were you in the first three games
that you guys had this in lock?
I think we had a control, but they got the momentum.
So they are a good team, you know, a pretty good team.
They are three good guys, and it's hard to play against them.
But I think we changed the momentum in the last game.
So we managed to win.
So you think it was the last game,
because I was going to ask about the timeout.
It felt like things can help in that series.
It stopped their momentum, but it was the last game
for you guys.
You felt like you figured it out.
What was it?
I don't know, I think like Game 7, you know, Champions Field, you're a little happy, you know, yeah, it's better to play, so I think that got us in the momentum to win.
Now, I gotta ask how exhausting this is for you, I mean like, do you enjoy these intense series? Cause I know we do, but for you, how do you enjoy these moments being on the stage and being a part of these incredible games?
Yeah, I enjoy, you know, it's not good to lose but when we win is good to play again like this
So it's it's so cool. I think your heart doesn't like it though. Yeah
Almost that hard. I can tell me hey, we're gonna let you go settle down one more time, please
for
South America
Fury have made a top six at the 2024 World Championship
There's something about this building and it's an old fury organization man. They make some crazy
And how do you come back and win that game 7 you played the matches on the day you've lost two already you just lost three games in a row you find the energy to win that final game on Champions field when obviously momentum is at an all-time low the vibes all-time low but Curia found a way when they needed it with that lost faith that lost
That last fake was incredible and they get it though.
I mean, I don't understand how you can possibly pull a victory like that out because that was their seventh time of asking.
They had three opportunities earlier on today.
They had four in that series.
But this comes to the point where you start to think to yourself, it's just not going to happen for us.
But they didn't believe that. They got the job done.
They just had to do a lot more than they expected.
And they took a timeout before game six, which gives you, if you have to pull a CBO buff, it's an actual buff.
And then they play basically perfect rock-a-league through regulation and through the overtime and a pinch is what they lose on and
Somehow you about to back and win game seven by two. It's insane. It's sensational
May start off old Fiora as it has done from the entirety of today. This has never been the problem
They start off incredibly. It is the middle part of the series that is still a problem for them
They need to get this sorted out tomorrow though because there are teams
Roofless teams ready to take advantage of that the best thing for fear now is that they get to go home and take a nap
Good to go to bed. They don't have to come on the stage again
I know is in their minds they got reverse what by BDS and that's not something you just shake out of your mental when you're on the
Stage and when they drop game one SFG dirt by okay, they drop game two
They start to get worried and then in game six and Neo Tokyo
It felt like everything was going SFG's way the net would not open for you and hopefully I'm not hopefully
Luckily and favorably for them a game seven a finalist court again
They didn't score for 20 minutes of rocket leaping to go and they won the match. That's not hurt a furia
Not only that lost fake though. That's the one play. I want to see something that was the difference maker
It was such a phenomenal shop at space station. They gotta give him credit. They battle they battle back again
You're down three oh, and you're out. Oh, yeah, we're just the NA 3C. No, they fought and they're incredibly hard
They make it as well, but space station. What?
Given the way the SSQ were playing it
You know you do not play your best rocket league no fat right there for me for Fenial
I was a great reason cargo. I thought he played it well try to cut by for Fenial, but drew was up so
Right here by loss. It was special goals. They were great up goals. It was instinct goals
I got to go and gotta make a play got a score but SSG's not set up in a rotation
That's what period needed to win this game. That's what they did not to get the move on to tomorrow
It's a station that topic curse will continue to haunt them through the offseason
We'll see if they are the same team next year, but honestly like that. They played very very well here
I mean I need a tell us ratio that lost fake there. It still it still looks like he's fake like quantum phasing through the defender
I don't know it's an incredible incredible moment there in the space station
Can hang but hold their head high knowing that they put up
Amazing amazing match of rock league made all the way to game seven, but ultimately only one team could move forward
South America is through to the semi-finals South America is through and they will be awaiting the loser
I believe of team DS
BDSG to strive our oxygen. They'll be facing the loser of the match that's coming up next wave car mean corp going up against
We got two more matches on the day and two New York Tokyo so far at the very least we got a champions field ready
We're getting spoiled in this bracket
And yeah, there's still two more games of qualification finals BDS
What you do and k-corp and the falcons the best four teams in the world at least through Swiss
I'm worried that those semi-finals are gonna be sweeps after how good our play house racket is
But we'll see how it goes. It is double-edged. We'll get some some some some variety in there two more matches on the day
before we wrap things up for this World Championship Saturday and get your guys set up for Championship
Sunday. BDS versus G2 coming up a little bit later. Shogun, who you got on that one?
Well then I am going to go for the favorites heading in. Actually, I'm going to go BDS.
I almost missed the box yet again. Nobody saw that. I got BDS over against G2, which
I'm sure will be lovely and popular in this room. I got Falcons over in the other
one. How do you go against G2? Because I got BDS winning the whole thing, so it
It wouldn't really make much sense for me.
I see.
You could stick to your guns now, that one.
Well, we are getting closer and closer to that.
There it gives.
This has been a world championship for the A's.
It's been a long day, too.
And BDS and K-Corp have played from the beginning
of the day as well.
So they'll be sitting around waiting,
but thousands in G2 are just waiting for their moment.
Their first game in front of this crowd, it's going to be good.
Yeah, for sure.
No, and then they threw the crowd.
That moment when they won, especially in one game six,
one of the loudest moments I've ever experienced
on the floor of any arena for any event ever.
This crowd was ready for space station to take it and this crowd is waiting to watch G2. They haven't seen them yet
They've been waiting a long time and that is gonna be great this crowd
I bet will be even louder than yeah, I think they would have been waiting
I think that's why the schedule last we're gonna make you wait for the best man for the team you want to see
But it's gonna be a good one. We'll save G2 for the very end of the day when we come back
It's car me core taking on the other team nobody could shut up about the Falcons
is finally in the house and on the stage competing for the title of world champion at more than
a month of the break.
We're helping millions save more for the things that matter the most.
Whatever you're saving for.
We're interviewing with the insurance whistleblower.
I just think everyone should know there's an insurance company out there exposing other
company's rates so you can compare them and save.
Sounds like trouble.
It's great actually.
It's called Auto-Quad Explorer from Progressive.
Here, look.
See?
We show you our direct rates and their rates even if we're not the lowest.
So whistleblower usually means you're exposing something bad.
I thought I'd been calling attention to something
helpful, you know, like, check it out.
This thing's the best, you know?
It is dominated by South America, at least for now.
Only one North American team remains as space station.
Make an early exit.
The pop-offs from the crowds and from the players
were amazing.
But only one team can move forward,
and that is Furia today.
Welcome back to the World Championship.
We have two more matches on the day.
These ones will send nobody home just into different parts of the bracket and take away at least one team's lives you watch
It takes away both teams lives right because the team that one goes to the top four. That's one life
Yes, but they will go to the top four if you lose I play one more game to get into that top four
But yes, both teams might well have one life. I know it's a little confusing, but just win it just would hybrid
That's hybrid exactly until top four and then it's single single elim because at that point
We decided you can no longer no more losing allowed
Yes, we just want the best four teams and then after that we just want drama. So we're giving them all
That's all we want. It's a good life. It'll be really good. Yeah, it's been a crazy one
Here's the bracket we're talking about this is sort of double elin up until top four and then it just becomes single elin
And it feels like a fury has had the most lives and they're cat so that makes sense
And we're in Panther City. They should have a lot of life. It makes sense. It makes sense for well-done theory
I mean as a she went out with a bang
I mean as coming in as the unexpected number two NA team to go all the way to seven
That was so winnable and almost the reverse sweep and the fact we've had you know this many reverse almost reverse sweep
It's so exciting
Great time, but we got two more matches on the day here
And I'm really excited about these ones particularly because there's been two teams
We've been talking about on first touch we've been talking about on pre-shows
Every anytime we're talking about the World Championship these two teams G2 and Falcons get brought up
And we haven't seen them play from the crowd yet.
It's true.
And the last time we saw Falcons in front of a big crowd,
maybe like EWC, they lose a Grand Final.
Or at majors, they lose Grand Finals.
Can they finally get over that hump?
They have to get through Grand Finals again.
I get that first.
And then when it gets K-Corp, we're just
heating up because we heard from Ryze.
It's like, we're warming back up into this.
We're not used to crowds.
But they have seen the crowd now twice, I believe.
So K-Corp is ready for this match while Falcons,
they're the unknown.
What are you thinking about it?
I'm thinking that we're about to get into an excellent matchup.
These are the two criminally-crimed matchups
that everybody in the arena wanted to see.
The last time we saw Carmine Corp go up against Team Falcons,
they beat them in Game 7 in Copenhagen,
I believe in the quarter-finals of that tournament,
and Ato hit the pinch of the century.
And then the match before that,
the time they played before that,
Falcons beat them on an aerial fake TRK
right underneath the crossbar in five.
So these two teams, this season, one at one.
Two Champions League ones, too.
That's right.
That was the, I'm glad you brought that up in Copenhagen.
That was the most electric series,
and it wasn't even the grand final.
There's two signs to the Falcon coin.
They either lose in game seven, or they win it all.
They haven't flipped the side of the coin
where they've actually won,
and they are just one of the best teams
that we've had in Rocket League who haven't won it.
Surely, we're now a lot of the European teams
out of the way.
Surely, this is the tournament for Falcons, right?
I mean, I mean obviously obviously gives one when it comes to like a format here for Falcons
They're they're they're trying to get to the finals. They're trying to get that win here
But they won so heavily yeah in the Swiss that they haven't played for two days now
Yeah, the point is that how does is that obviously you want to go as far in the tournament as possible?
That's the right way to do it, but it doesn't mean you kind of to cool down there
No, I don't have any momentum coming in. Yeah, it's a blessing and curse
But again if they do lose here at least they still have one more life and they can make that run after and learn
But I think Falcons are ready for this they've played in so many finals lately that
They should know how nervous they will be and figure it out by the end of game one.
Well folks, we've talked enough. It's time for the players. Let's begin.
Falcons versus Karmicorp.
Trudicing first on the blue side.
Representing Europe.
They are indeed the blues.
At the last time they're in the World Championship. They're trying to get to the top four.
They couldn't get the job done when they used to play for Moise.
But they're back. They got the Cowboys hat on and they're embracing the Texan culture.
They added Ato, he's been nothing short of a nominal the whole entire season.
And now they're all three here going up against arguably the best team in the world at Team Falcons.
And they're used to having the crowd behind them in here, but y'all got ears right.
It's not as loud as it was in London and Copenhagen, but it's the talent that matters on this team.
They've been to so many world championships and they will push any team to their limit.
And you have to go to Ato with the overtime winners he's had so far.
He's had at least four, probably has had more than I'm not counting.
He's been so clutch rise though wave. You said he's a future world champion. There's his chance. He is. He is in my mind
The villain of rock league and I mean that with the utmost respect this guy is a stone-cold killer
And he finds the best players rallies around them and
Tear they're on the outside those hats also nice hats and the boxy trying to make a man for last season
They had to deal with the Zen sanity that occurred in the twenty-twenty three season and now sends out the wave boxy
I see what you can do.
I'm excited though for the opponents on the other side making their stage debut.
Opponents on the orange side single-handedly carrying the torch for all.
That land is 2.94.
They are absolutely dominating but now they play in front of the crowd.
Can they keep that offense going?
How about an easier set?
They haven't lost at Suisse.
They just seem like an unbeatable team.
The only thing they're allergic to is the finish line.
But they get there almost every single time.
But it was K-Corp that pushed them to their limit in Game 7
and tripped them up in Copenhagen.
They want to rewrite that story.
They didn't win on home turf, but it doesn't matter.
They want to win today.
K-Corp might have the best of them in the last time.
They matched up.
I'll tell you this, Falcons have been the better team
ever since, making it all the way
to the Grand Final in London, Grand Final in EWC.
And now they're already 3-0.
Perfect so far in the Swiss.
They're trying to keep up that momentum.
Keep riding, keep representing Mena, and it starts with the twins, and the man in the middle, TRK.
TRK is the one that wakes up on these bracket matches, but the twins have been putting in work, I mean, C. Roos, he's leading in this for game, he's number two in close for game, he's my MVP so far throughout this tournament.
I didn't know you guys were actually pillowed.
Yeah, we're gonna go all sorts of events here. That's sort of hospitality, you know.
I mean, we know though that mental is the thing that we've been talking about the whole weekend
with World Championship. It is the thing that is defining good and rockin' players from great
rockin' players right now. And the thing that we know the Falcons have in droves is mechanical
ability and quick reflexes. They've got everything they need to win on the pitch,
but it seems like that mental is the thing that keeps holding them back from the finals.
And that's what's important. Can they actually close out, maybe getting in their
own heads when they think it's one and they just are pushed so much what this is a team
where eventually they got to win something right and nothing better than the world championship.
Teams from all time in preparation for these matches and rumor on the block, rumored the
fact is that camp farming for and Falcons across have been the best scrim teams.
They've been prepping really well and teams don't want to play them at the moment
now they're going up against each other so I believe that Falcons are the favorite.
They should be the favorite, but don't go overlooking that blue wall.
We could see this match one more time tomorrow, that grand finals.
If the players had their way, they're saying, yeah, these two teams.
Number one, number two.
So they expect them to be in the grand finals.
What a run that would be.
Have a match here, and then see the rematch all the way up there again.
Can blue wall get there?
The blue wall, the fans are in the corner, making some noise,
trying to give the boys some love all the way over here across the pond.
They sure are, they sure are.
Listen, they're going to need it because I know this crowd wants the Falcons to win.
And his matchup is actually a little interesting, too, because Gibbs, like you talked about,
Falcons have that great staunch offense of the Army Corp, and they ramp it up.
They can play just as well.
The question really becomes whose defense is going to be more shut down?
Is it going to hold down that back line, or is it going to be Vati doing what he does,
being one of the best defenders like he has been for the past two and a half seasons?
And Kate Moore were good at striking early, but you talked about that mental wave,
And Falcons, they know how to bounce back.
They'll take that early time out and game through,
even if they, after game two, if they need it.
And that's how they come back.
And that's why so many of Falcons' theories
go the distance.
They really do trade blow for blow,
but it's about closing out that can be a question mark.
But the question mark is,
is that Falcons haven't lost in K-Corp have?
And look at Altao here.
He's scored all five of Carmen Cores'
overtime winners this event.
And he has been having an absolutely amazing performance.
I feel like we've been talking about Ato and Ryze
more than we've been talking about the tier at this event.
Oh, we definitely have.
We definitely have.
Vati, he's kind of taking a little bit of a backseat
this time around.
He hasn't been a superstar that you expect him to be.
He's just been great.
And Ato, especially, these overtime goals,
three of them came against Oxygen.
Oxygen squad, we just saw dominant,
they're not dominant anymore.
They did beat Gislamates in a best of seven,
in game six on the other Tokyo.
So those are just some slouch overtime goals.
They weren't playing their albums.
They were playing a great team.
Do you want to see Vati on the back line in the third man
or do you want to see him leading the charge here?
Now we need him on the back line.
I feel like he is the most important player
when he plays that third man role.
He knows when to attack better than pretty much
anyone in the game.
Outside of maybe a zen, he knows when to attack
and when to pull back and just waste some time
so his teammates will be there on defense.
But the twins really quick last world championship,
they made a top eight run, but then they fell short.
So this is the furthest they have ever gone.
Top six.
I actually want to see the tier at the front.
I think he's seen those passes and executing quickly.
If anything, you've got to fight fire with fire.
You send the house, take the risk,
because if you give any time and space to either of these teams,
there is, doesn't matter what kind of defense you have,
there's no saving what these offenses can put up.
Well, Chad, let us know who you think is going to win
and Lemon, you can kick things off.
Who's your pick, Carmen Gore?
This was the most difficult choice to make.
I went with a team that haven't lost.
I went with Falcons.
I think this is their tournament finally to win.
This is the easiest pick I've ever had to make.
I'm saying the Falcons are going undefeated.
They are the best team in the world.
Falcons win this easily.
Make a statement here for one.
Best team in the world, he ain't won anything.
Fast team in the world.
I mean, I know Dickie Zareena wants me to go with the Falcons.
So I might just have the role with them.
I guess I'll go pick the Falcons.
I'll pick the Falcons.
I'll pick the Falcons in second.
Seven.
I like them right now.
I think they've been playing really well.
Yeah, I'm comfortable with that.
Man, I went against Carmencourt earlier today.
I didn't want to because it felt like I felt like the right decision.
I'm here as an analyst.
I'm here to tell you what I'm feeling.
At this point, I'm with you, Lemon.
I don't know who's got this one.
I feel like this is an upset in the making.
Coyne with Carmencourt.
Yay!
Give it up on this one.
Give me the blue one.
Oh, no, the Coyne.
It's bad luck.
The Coyne is here.
He changed one of the sides.
He's got it on both sides.
Let's see how the Coyne feels about it on the desk.
It's going to be going with the Falcons.
The Falcons down the leaf from random chance here, folks.
It's going to be a crazy one.
Gibbs, good one player to pick out here.
Who do you pick out?
I'm going for Roas.
One, he's on my fantasy team.
Two, he's leading in every category.
So Roas, he's my MVP.
He's going to keep performing here.
OK, taking a look out there for Roas, folks.
It is split down the middle in chat.
The arena doesn't know who they want either, folks.
It's time for an upper bracket clash in Cowtown, folks.
The Blue Walls here and they stand store yet they're in need.
Some archers up on the rampage to contend with the birds of prey raining from on high.
Neither will settle for anything short of the trophies.
It's time for Carming Corn versus the Falcon.
Falkens have been unstoppable.
There is a certain level of revenge that they want to put out against every team
in the RLCS and right now they're doing it.
They've only dropped two games.
It still stays the same.
Yeah, it does.
Kami Copp had started this one pretty well,
having some passes around the team, Volkens half.
They're gonna have to do a lot more than that.
It's mainly been Atom on the side of Kami Copp.
It's been leading the way statistically
for Asimov Volkens.
Some of the results they've had,
some of the goals that they've scored,
all three away ahead in goal participation
and goals scored in everything.
So, a true trio there.
Even at a best of seven, before you have to start the series well,
we saw how difficult it was earlier on for space station gaming.
After going three behind despite how well they played in the end,
KC will not want Vulcans to get away from them.
They have to keep them close, and this is how it's done.
Scoring goals yourself for Tira.
He's in that far corner, off against Rwass.
The man for Carbine Court,
there's really yet to come a life so far in this world championship.
It's been the Belgian, it's been the brightest star.
He always gets a number on the backboard.
You need to start out the event a little bit quiet.
And as time has gone on, just completely risen to the occasion,
they all went off the post and out instead.
Quick transition out, Farming Court head to Orange.
First real chance between Vulcans.
So what they can do for Calvin!
Against a team like that, you cannot respect them
in the slightest.
You have to come in thinking you are a bulked man.
That is exactly OK.
So you're playing.
Calvin caught two goals to the game.
Vulcans have only dropped two games so far
across the entirety of Swiss, going nine and two in there
and facing good teams of course along the way,
as you do in those two and those stages.
It doesn't get any easier from now.
TRK has a chance for the 50-50,
and he does focus on the ball.
A little bit of patience there, pays off for the Falcons.
This one dropped down from the ceiling,
but after the 50-TRK, saw the opening, saw the gap,
placed that one right through.
So Falcons, after having a bit of adversity,
managed to find their way back into game number one.
All right, sends that one big forward.
Killers on the back wall should be able to clear this one
with ease.
And Vatera, he's the man that Carmen Corp
really needs to come alive
if they are to continue taking this fight to Falcons.
100% he is that IGL for Carmen Corp.
His emotions really drive this team to success
on so many crucial moments throughout their career
together.
Less than three minutes in this game,
Number one, Karmencourt continued to lead by one,
which was a great place to be in against a team
that continues to put up so many shots,
but for now, Karmencourt,
they've had all the control in this one,
as another shot comes towards the backboard.
Rise to the key of Karmencourt,
after keeping control.
Here's the man who just when things start
to get away from you,
he's able to take that touch
by himself a few yards of space.
Alcans are coming forwards again.
Rise has no boost,
cools in for Tyra,
who only gets it as far as Ruass.
This is what Alcans want,
combining here in the final third kill
he wants to get the strike away. It's quite good for him.
More signs of danger for Carmen, they have to ride that way.
That's all good for Ryze, but he continues to jump and seize it away for now.
Right now Falcons are just trying to lurk each other off a lot of these players with Carmen Korn.
Pumping them off a bit, transitioning out as quick as they possibly can here.
The tier tries to get past one, he does so successfully.
A TRK's challenge up next with 50 comes through.
But Killers, he and Rua, it's going to work together.
The duo that everybody knows and loves off the backboard here.
No initial shot coming through off it instead. This one clears out to the other end.
Kill is going to get this one long. Ato's already in the air.
Karmicop doing well to defend deeply, but they have to make better touches than that one.
Or else it's their turn. Almost punished.
That clearance is huge. The pitch works out perfectly for Karmicop.
Always finds its way in. Actually, it will not award the tier of business.
Royce can't finish it. And that's a real chance it goes begging.
Oh, that should have found his way through, but this one, we would have still made up for in due time, 3-1!
He had to score before the credit to having on the rotation.
Ato just made things a tad more awkward for the goalkeeper there.
And Kamiikon once more have a 2-goal lead.
And that's what you're going to need to keep against a team like the Falcons.
It gives them a little bit more pressure and also yield a little bit more room.
a bit more room. The crowd continue to be silenced. They're rooting for Vulcans, but
suddenly they pass and seem loose. Remember, Carmencub already played today. Vulcans have
had an entire day off. Maybe that's the factor for Carmencub. He's not to write that momentum.
And so far, they are doing exactly that. Yes, they are. And we do have to remember,
like you said, it is a much longer day for Carmen. For there is that momentum that
is driven into this series but they have to keep in the back of their minds
Rockins are gonna be warming up as time goes on and this one
Bump plate comes through, a towel makes it look like it's nothing
That's how in a second goal he's been scoring consistently throughout
Look at that bump there man, there you go, he's had a lot to add in mind
He had a feeling of rise with fighting there with what Verizon sure will call a pass
Fight 1, KC, dominance in game 1
This is the statement that Carmen Corp wanted to put out in game number one.
Set the tone for this series.
Really let the Falcons know that they are going to be a challenge to be reckoned with.
But thank you for the Falcons tier K off the backboard here.
This one's going to follow the tier flow clear.
You can see we're lost lurking gets that boost.
They're going to pop this one up.
Going to follow it as well.
Taking his time.
Atal coming for the challenge.
This one's still pushing forward in favor of the Falcons.
And here comes Kory's off the side.
1, 2, Engel to Rwass! It in!
Even if they lose, Vulcan's will land a few punches.
A second goal comes in as Killers combining with his twin.
Atok got it only as far as Rwass and Ryze, Booseless, could do absolutely nothing about that one.
Now, in this situation, I'd normally say they're just playing momentum.
This is Vulcan's. They can score 340 seconds.
Oh, 100,000% they can do that. 35 seconds on the clock.
But this one headed towards the backboard of a place that the Falcons don't want to be at.
They're trying to go to the other end.
Ruas, no connect on this one.
He leaves it for others to take.
Bride's going for the challenge.
This is going to stop a little bit of that German momentum you were talking about there.
It's 20 seconds on the clock.
Falcons, you're running low on time.
Yeah, KC, they've defended very well.
That should just about do it for game number one.
They see this ball to the side and they see it safe.
And they will take the lead here in this series.
The prize for this one.
a guaranteed spot in the top four with the loser going down.
Not out just yet, whoever does lose this one.
But it's only gets trickier.
The more series you let fall behind,
the tier is just gonna make sure that Vulcans
can't have anything else going into the second game.
Carmine Cork take the first,
and that was as close as we've seen to Casey at their peak.
Oh yes, it has been so long
since we've been seeing KC really be at their highest.
It has been a long journey for them,
but this is where it matters most.
And if this is when you can perform,
that's all that truly matters
in the entire situation in general.
Right now, Falcons, this is one of the bigger challenges
they've had in a minute.
You would think the top of the top teams in the world
would make it difficult for them,
but nobody really has seen to give them
a run for their money.
I mean, it's right to keep Falcons
to scoring two goals themselves,
let alone scoring five against them as well.
So Calving Cup are ripping up the record books right now.
And they're a team that I've always been tempted to do that.
I've been doing that since they were formed.
They are a team that nothing except pure victory
would be good enough for them.
And you have to get past things like, oh,
I'll put it on for Chief Al.
Exactly.
Falcons, they've seen the grand finals.
They've been so close to tasting victory so many times.
But every single tournament they've
competed in this season, nothing
means more than the world championship.
And like you said, they want nothing less than perfect.
So far, so good for the blue wall.
We have to continue it here on Forbidden Temple.
Ato lines up.
He is being the best performer for coming up to this point.
But I think what we felt, what we realized in the first game,
is that his two teammates are ready to make the step up.
Falcons, gonna have to respond to...
Little bit of an unexpected first loss there, however, on the flip side,
Carmingport, their game plan is going exactly the way it was scripted out for them.
Twenty seconds of the clock right here, Roulas going to carry this one over that midline,
go under Vatira, challenge on Ryze, not quite through on this one, but a great opener.
Tira's going to try to take a touch here, Roulas on it, rapidly, and he gets it!
For the fancy dish, and that's what now falcons!
Oh my gosh, when he's in it, he is in it, Ruat's completely alone on this one, and around the tower, past Ryze!
I mean, you know what, and it's what we talked about, momentum is what the Falcons thrive on.
Garmic help of Gop, two of last year's semi-finalists on their team.
We're gonna try and get back to that stage, yet to get Teara, he goes all the words, because
It's that one side race, and so in the center, Ryze is almost there.
The rest is going to see to save Deeper now.
And here it keeps the attack on Vulcan, so they're the first lead in this series.
And it's up to Ato, Ato and something else going on each other's way.
I think it was Ryze for a second, so Vulcan's were able to smuggle the ball away for a little while.
But I think the Vulcan's will be pleased at the start of this second game.
I think they are very happy with what they've been able to put out.
Mungo Lee, I'm sure they're definitely going to want to do an extended on it.
And as quickly as possible, but right now this one's headed back to RK.
out into the corner. This one is a wide shot and back into the nose of Roas. This is one down for
Killers to take. Low boost there, which means Ryze is up next to challenge. He does so successfully.
Carming Cork going to lead themselves out into the Falcons half right here.
And it's just back and forth waiting for somebody to be the first to really
change true control of these balls. And it could be the Twins!
One after the other! Killers in Roas! DRK noted to the platform. Killers
Maybe he could have got this one on target, but in the end,
shoot to the, sorry, Velazquez could have got that one on target.
But shoot to the pace of killers, it didn't matter a shot.
Two nil now to Vulgis, and they're starting to warm up themselves,
starting to remember what put them here.
Nami Koba gonna have to deal with this onslaught, it would seem,
because this is the team more than any other,
they're just continuing scoring,
continuing pouring on the pressure against you.
Shot on target, off the side though.
Demo could open something up on this one, but T-R-K just bit faster off of it.
Low boost for both, headed towards that ball of the T-R-R to come around the side.
Less than three minutes ago in this game, number two Falcons still continue to lead by two.
And they won our third for a Dominance, headed into the rest of the series.
Ato gets this one, at least towards the Falcons.
He gets a second touch as well.
Once you get the bump on Ruas, as Demo flies in from afar,
Ruas gets a long rise via a bump himself.
He can only get as far as Ato.
Atom is in the race of TRK there, did enough to at least get Vulcan's back.
To this in the sky from Moas, Rize underneath this one, leads it to Matira.
Matira comes to come, he brings to the team.
That's over now, the man they currently turned to, Rize gets it into that top corner.
I'll tell you what, what a finish that is.
That is such a connected passing player as well.
Rize and the towel have really just, as the day has gone on,
gotten more and more synergetic and that just could not have been placed any more perfectly in that upper night.
I mean it's all well and good a double flip reset and a dunk and a musty but do you know what I love just the clean top corner finish.
Your eyes gave us the pure example you will ever see but Vulcans, they do open the kickoff.
Two other picks of 100 boots now, they're trying to get into the center, he's dunked by Ruaz, that one's falling down, that's over.
Trots in as far as fries.
Calming Crop, their tails were off straight from this kick-off.
Straight from this kick-off, Vulcans have made sure they're...
Have to do some defending! They have to! They have to do a bit better than that!
Oh man, where are you on this?
On this, it's just spreading the needle at that point here to rotate.
Quick turnaround, quick cut, but an even better catch.
And just like that, Falcons are off by two.
Yeah, it's all the lead from T.R.K. there.
Completely threw off Calming Crop's effective rotations.
While Matira was arriving back, he didn't have the angle to play with.
Team Falkens back two goals up.
TRK, he takes a touch, killers to the centre.
Normally, these two will find a way to get them all to one another.
Here's killers that emerges with the ball.
It's one touch, gets a second as well.
So many clean hits right now for Team Falkens.
And it's something coming court were able to deal with the game number one.
But they were defending deep.
They were typing their searches forward well,
but that one just falls for Matira, and he takes the freebie.
This is just a nice little catch-out as well.
It's to see any gap in the defense on it,
but also to create it for yourself with the demo in the mid,
not allowing anybody time to race back for that ball.
It's just all executed in the right ways.
Sharon speaks for Carmen Colbert.
I wonder if they even copped the demo
when the 50-50 was coming in, or if they just knew.
Raise on that same level.
Carmen Colbert's TRK gets this one lock.
I wonder if they're feeling any stress right now with their goals for good.
Rassi, Muton from his teammate, oh he half does, he almost got TRK's way there,
so TRK just has to settle for booming the ball and conceding possession.
Right now, they take it back though, killers towards back towards low boost,
but they're still trying to challenge and push forward on this one.
Great challenge there for Muwax off the side wall.
Obatir is going to be the one to catch it over one.
Now it's a woman, one against killers.
This one heads back towards mid. Less than a minute to go and the Falcons lead only by one. Look at the build on it here in the mid.
It's TRK with a shot on target.
This is low for Kami. Koghut they're beginning to get something going. Can they build upon it?
While controlling everything they can to beat the ball away right now. Ruas.
Killers in the middle. Almost gets the ball.
Right to it anyway via a boost grab.
Let's put it into the center for Ruas. That's a takeout for Ryze.
Batira is stealing it, Ryze gets a touch of both killers.
He's gonna fall to Atta, he goes to the back,
he's gonna get this read, almost, here's Batira!
In your teammates, this one left off the backboard,
placed it down low, there was no way!
He was flipping back in time to stop that ball from going through.
And suddenly, Valkyrie has to start from scratch.
The kickoff goes the way of Garmin Kong.
Ryze saves it long.
Ruas and Batira, both of them on 100.
Both, and to a chunk of this ball.
Tira the wins it for now.
Killers gets it past him.
Atto into the centre.
And the time of space for TRK.
Still time for a winner.
Especially with the ability these boys have.
That one's to the ceiling.
Anyone chasing it, it's just for Tira.
He sends it long, and dunks through us.
Falls for Killers, just TRK.
Maybe till Atto swipes it away.
And that rise should be able to force overtime,
which he does.
Let's go, wins.
Win it to the kickoff.
Here we go, rise up the sidewall to the ceiling.
Gonna try and solo this one on his own here.
K kicks this one out, but it towels up next
to the backboard again.
Is there a follow?
Ruas to catch.
Ato the key member here for Kami and Karp.
So far they've won five of their six over times
and he has scored all of their winners.
So all eyes on the Belgium.
It's the tier right now that has it.
He goes to the ceiling.
If someone loose,
doesn't need to a chase for him against Killers,
but he loses that chase.
Here is Ato with the boost.
He's got the nervies up against Ryze and helping him out.
Ato against Killers, he looks long.
It was a good plan too,
because you see Karmic trying to send somebody up field,
to just open up space for him to take the shot,
but now Falcon's out of control.
TRK was trying to send that one forward for the towel.
The man that everybody fears in an OT in control
with this ball, trying to work his way around Killers.
He does one, can't get past two.
TRK underneath this one for Tira.
Sheperdip to the side, Ryze is gonna wait for this one.
Kim is coming in now.
Vulcans beginning their own swarm.
Rathar has to keep it close to his car and he does.
Last trending battle, it's into the 6th of the year.
Anyone arriving there for calming caught not on this occasion.
So Vulcans can clear lock, they preach up.
Of course they do, but it's too loose.
Rise now, watch the clip we said,
except he just takes the clean touch.
Everyone, sorry coming.
We had a little bit of space to work with,
but the tier might actually have more here.
Somebody can cut and turn around on this one.
Nobody does.
Instead, the Vulcans are just having to lurk in their own half
as a million shots continue to be taken by Carmencourt.
Finally, a little bit of a breather. TRK pushes the Falcons in that blue half, but it's short-lived.
Tremikul with more of the ball, but T-Fulcans keeping out that counterattack.
Tira to the scene, but there's no one there for Tremikul.
Maybe if they save, that's all for that surprise.
Just gives a hint to TRK that he can get this ball.
Tira lose the T-Killers as well, so Tremikul for a second, it looked like they were in.
Tremikul managed to clean up.
10 minutes of OT. Pretty equal and back and forth for now. Fuller's low boost. His teammates recognize that TRK is gonna alert and see if he can find this golfer himself. Here comes the cut. He's up next. Hatal takes it away. He's calming forth. They're slowly getting pushed back inch by inch.
There's something Falcons can do, they can squeeze the life out of you.
You think you're safe and there's always an extra player there.
Mathira's taken out the game.
Ryze actually finds himself a little bit of space through us.
To track back to his own goal, he's getting boosted in the end.
Lumps it central. That's a reason.
As he gets a second touch as well,
but his team didn't anticipate the play.
So Ryze comes in from the side up against Killers.
It's this 100, Mathira's in.
How does this 50-50 land?
It should be safe through us.
And here, ENTRK can find a clue.
Ryze, very quick with their tier off the ceiling.
material is gonna try and clean it up right there and they know to spot when
to go and do the quick challenge on the Falcons unfortunately for them Falcons
are just barely able to keep up with a lot of these surprise attacks. Rides try to spot a teammate,
killers complete interception, gonna take this over Veteer, can he get past the
town? No! They clear us as well, it's key right now for Carmichael, they don't just get the
fall away, they do something with it after one. TRK the server starts to play and all that
That saves as far as Killis, this was going to bounce into the center, Atom beats it to it, is there a player in the center that needs to be at the end of the line?
There is no stopping a town!
Oh that one meant a lot, coming up in their element, breaking Arson over time, standing off their chairs, that's what they do best.
Vulcans have to ignore everything there, but when you've got fairer opposite you giggling, it's not simple to do.
Simple to do and I want the hug if a tactical timeout might be coming soon.
There might be one headed our way although some teams they just want to get straight into it and continue on.
We're going to find out here if the Falcons decide to declare, you know, mascot timeout
or they just keep going with what momentum they have in their pockets.
Well we will see and what we definitely do know is that it is KC2, Falcons nil.
Falcons the overwhelming favorites have in this series lost as many games as they
have in the entire tournament up to now.
Carmine Corp are returned to their best at this point.
Oh for sure and I'm sure this was a much talked about series for them as well.
Whether it was just a few moments before the night before I'm sure a
play was cooked up for this one in particular. I mean you look back to the
You can see how much connection there was between every single person on Parming Park, but more importantly, the emotions are so electric.
You can see the blue wall. There might be a smaller section than what we're used to in Europe, but you are so loud.
And I'm sure they can hear it and they can feel it.
And that's got timeout has been taken and Vulcans are gonna have an extra 60 seconds to talk this one through
brute force attacking play for once is not working for them calming off a defending
Resolutely Vulcans are planning goals, but calming off of the counter. They look stunning. They look incredible and also very
methodical
Every play that has been put out onto the field is not a guess
This is a very well curated plan against a team that is not lost to anyone.
Well, they had so long to go back to the drawing board did coming up after missing the London Major after waiting to be at the World Championships
It's not a surprise to see the Ferris Whiteboard
I'm sure has got a few more shots of pen on it between men and now
Now on the big stage
Talking and through those plays trying to have them handle those nerves
But Vulcan's her they're a team that can come back. I
I don't disagree with that at all and I am waiting to see if they can this is an
extremely important game for you this is the swing game that decides in which
direction momentum starts to go this car me for start to control the rest of
the series or do the falcons put one foot forward a towel in the air low
booster swing everything you can to keep this ball in the falcon half allowing
it him and his teammates some time to go forward the colors gonna take it away
rise immediate send back here. Bump off the play and Batira to keep this one
forward 30 seconds into this. It's very way back and forth.
And so you get someone to watch rise into the middle, Batira was coming in
calming Cops, suddenly sent the thing. Something could be coming their way.
Something good. At the confidence he shows to reach up to ask for the challenge
for as far as TRK who gets the first real shot of game of the three.
As you were saying, Key gave a screen game in this series.
Well, there's a starter, okay.
Once a landing, Killis booms it long.
TRK is already trying to chase it.
Killis is doing the same.
Clearance of the tier, right? Too bad, even.
Ruas catches a real chance to pop from that one shot.
Right now, the Falcons, they just got to come in with vengeance.
I haven't seen too many solo players coming out of this one.
It's a little bit more spotting each other, but Ruas out on his own.
Small little document on that one.
You're a little bit nervous, but calling each other off at the right time
might not be too bad of a thing right here.
KC, take this one away, Ryze came fifth past one,
but Tira full tank of boost now is going to take a shot on Tord,
he's just going to end off into the corner.
Oh, Big Tebow there, gets Killa's room to play with,
he's got no boost, but normally he doesn't need it.
This time, he makes the bump he does,
Ato's able to come away with it, Ryze thought about going for the nudge himself.
He's just leaving for his teammate to get as far forward as he can.
Barney caught Mullen, went to give up on the play,
not those who were committing against Vultins.
Showing that composure, I'm sure it's something that Ferro was drilling into them
During that time, there's a chance here, but I take a read-out, right?
She can't quite.
TRK could take the ball away, almost over the tier.
It's into itself right now.
This time is going on, it's also getting harder and harder for Carmen.
It's actually a wall in that midfield line.
The Falcons getting passed a little bit easier as each time goes on.
Attempted pass here, two killers sent off onto the opposite side of it
and the child's going to take it away.
It's trying to follow him on this ball, but instead,
it's just a one-man ban from Carmen,
but a shot on target sent off.
Yeah, so three plays together after getting such destruction as well the bumps and the grabs and the
demos to here is at oh
With that last goal and overtime set the record for the most ever overtime winners at a lot of his sick
credible statistics
I mean short shape one or two of those for one more goal here against Hawkins
The loss may be on it instead of towering out from one and the other great interception
That's what Falcons have been doing really well, and it's able to slow down climbing for a very crucial moment to shot on target here,
but a towel hits it out, follow up to come through off the backboard.
Ruas, 1v1 with a towel, he rules out successfully, and Falcons can breathe for just a moment.
Oh, for a second, it looked like Killers was going to be in.
The pass couldn't quite reach it, but it does open up the plate. Ruas has Killers to his side,
can't force the angle for a shot, can certainly put more pressure on Batira.
It was absolutely to squeeze that ball towards Ryze.
Can he have this greedy one of them, you know?
But Killis didn't like him.
Not too bad on this one.
Either Falcon's still pushing forward.
Big Clear comes through.
Killis trying to raise back in time.
Potential demo comes off, no.
The tears aren't going to touch him there.
This ball just stays in shot for Ryze to take.
And the towel went through us off the play.
They send this one back.
Parming for doing everything in their power
to just try that ball forward,
but they continue to get pinballed back.
That's those all that's a missed up for Ryze.
Here in the back lips. I thought I must have called him off. There's a steal for coming up
I thought I forget through us through us once the boom they come through and there's a demo from
He just stopped helping out his team. This team is coming in with a vengeance
They are here to assert dominance in the qualification final against a team that nobody has been able to defeat
Vulcans have to score. They simply have to. A best of seven reverse sweep.
The rarest thing you will see in competitive Rocket League.
And they've stared down a violent beating one, unless the tier is clear, it's the perfect.
It gets it as far as Rewas. Vulcans are going to touch everything at this one over the next minute.
Just a one goal lead that's all Carmen Corp have. They desperately need to turn it into two.
They want to have comfort ability in the last 50 seconds or so here.
Falcons are going to send this one upfield. They're going to have to throw themselves at this ball too and really connect on this one.
Killers try to open up a path and set that ball going in the opposite direction of what they need.
Killers trying to get around the tier. He gets past one, but not past two.
Ross should be able to pick where he wants to put this one.
Gonna have to read him on the duck. Give me a chance, Marise.
Do you have kills? Any bells? Another bomb that cuts in.
Team Falcons, they just can't put a signal for anywhere.
The lag is caught in Corpus sweeping the lag time after time.
Killers finally will be able to pick where he passes it.
It's towards TRK for the breach of Ahto was waiting.
TRK gets the dunk flow, Ahto drops it to the side.
They're still going, Killers.
Oh!
Perfect, and that is capable of Killers one side to the other.
The challenge comes through in a town to clear mid.
TRK, he gets this catch.
Rise up against him, Rise gets it underneath him.
Killis is already up, but Team Valkyrie's now to the side.
Tear it to the side, you're just going to follow him up.
He's living on his shoulder right now, another huge nut comes in from Valkyrie,
suddenly there the one, fucking Kami Pulpit source.
Right now, Karmingport, they are in a position that is so favorable,
but the Valkyrie is slowly starting to take out away from them as time goes on.
Pass, one!
There it is from Killis, and in the end it looks so simple.
And I mean that's a key goal because there's only ever been one best of seven reverse sweep on land
They happen in 1% of the attacks if that go goes the other way. It's almost over
Carmen court they came into this on
paper as an underdog and
They are doing what has been virtually deemed impossible that you look back mobile and high-performance replay
You can see how connected they are with each other, how well and composed they were.
But for the Falcons, that zero-second goal, that had the KC hearts racing.
Just a wild moment.
I mean, I hope we get to see that play deconstructed ladies with zero-second goal.
I lost track.
I was trying to list the stuff that happened there, about six or seven things,
but led to that moment.
But could have gone either way.
We thought they were going to score.
We thought they were.
We thought it was free, and suddenly there's killers.
And he ain't gonna miss.
And Falcons now have absolutely swung things in their favor.
While they're two-one down in the series, they have that momentum.
And frankly from this point onwards, I don't know who the favor is,
considering Casey still have the lead.
I really don't either because there's two ways that you can look at it.
Falcons have not lost a series.
They've only dropped two games.
This is the most challenging series that they've been in.
However, Calmingcourt are in a position where this could actually fall to them.
If they can take this game number four, this will look a whole lot different than what people think on paper.
Five seconds into this one right now, this one's blue side and a shot is going to come through.
Calmingcourt are going to do their best to wrestle back the initiative.
The tear up against Roulas, the bulls gradually towards the Calmingcourt goal line.
Vulcans were doing their best to swipe at it.
Carbinkope didn't let them, but Tira's gonna do this one long as far as he can actually.
He's controlling it for now, Ryze has this, he doesn't hold a grudge himself around, he took the vehicle to see him.
And this in the air, has a pass here, he finds it towards Rywaz, and the back of Rywaz!
This is also a pre-collect from his teammate on this one, Falcons first to lead.
And it's Rywaz the Killers, these two just keep combining.
Time off the time, Carbinkope have to somehow cut that thread.
Could be spinning its way once more, but here's Atto, Ruass gets in the way.
Killers has the demo.
Ruass leaves in his teammate TRK that was bouncing towards the Carmine Cup goal yet again.
Team Falkens trying to press the issue.
Killers in the touch, that was a tad awkward for him.
Forward to the center, TRK helps him out and takes all the boosts, so Killers just has to get out of there.
Ruass was following him up.
Team Falkens forwards they march, another chance made for TRK.
He gets the shot, he starts the line.
Oh, he almost got the nastiest angle on this one.
And that's what you want to see from TRK too.
He is so capable on his own to really initiate things here.
But same can be said for the T-Roc shot was on target.
At tiles up next on this, it's going to fall down
into the nose of killers.
Over one, one, two, three.
Oh!
To the jumps, to the finish.
That is a big beauty from Killers.
TRK began the play, and Killers finished it
with a bomb. You are talking about one of the best 1v1 players in the world. You are shaking
no matter what. When he is coming, you're away. Rise up next to a great challenge there from
T.F.A.T.T. He's just one of the midline. But T.R.A. trying to break past. He does.
But this one immediately sends back and stuff by a towel. And Falcons just rotating. It
is best to get around the car and then send them back with a blue wall. Won't stop
fighting. But T.R.A. has it around the corner. Killers get his in there after.
So shooting shots does he?
Cause that would have been a bottom target, maybe.
It's a rebound from TRK.
He should get the couple of touches needed
to set this lock button to blue territory.
Sierra knocks it backwards,
relax it's a little huge demo again from Ato.
Can anything else be done?
Does anything else need to be done?
No, it doesn't.
Casey have one back.
Such a solid demo to make that a wide open net,
but also relax.
Yes, Ato, an unfortunate push up on his end,
but in favor of Casey,
You're not shaking your head now.
And it was the Debo that flew in that it was risky,
even if the player was still there.
When you get two goals for the good,
I mean, who am I to critique team Vulcans?
They normally know what they're doing,
and they'll never stop trying to score more goals.
Credit to her.
Killers against Ryze.
That one squeezed this way out into the corner.
Matira against CRK.
It was Killers now.
Killers should be able to take the touch.
It's high.
All those are up.
Has to lose the play with Ryze.
Has to get this done perfect.
And actually puts it on play for Atto.
this one back towards orange territory.
He's chasing it, wants to get this boost grab.
Can't do it, it's against the pitch.
The killers, the Sealo has been forcing
to own goals recently, so he did well
to get it back to the center.
We're sure two people up on this challenge here.
Codming up again, just trying to inch their way
into the Falcons half, but more importantly,
stay there, Atal tries to spot Vitira.
We lost low boosts dangerously in front.
Nobody went to try and challenge it.
Instead, Ryde intercepts to Atal off the backboard,
Vitira not on target.
Let's just one drop over his shoulder.
The seconds will be going slowly right now for Team Balkans.
Especially in a match like that, the fate will have to slow down.
Carming court back into the game.
Even playing round in game number four.
Simply Atto's presence, even with zero moves, was enough to disrupt Team Balkans' defects.
Remain must be sick of the sight of this guy by now.
Here he goes again to the fat wall.
War. Killers, sees Fries. Just filling up his win screen. Okay, follows up against
Fries. Just for a second, it seems that Team Farkas are able to take something from that
one. Unable to in the end. Kami got defending too well until Katera, all by himself, gets
his one to the side. Fries boosts us again. Too often we see Kami, Kopp players flatfooted
on the ground. Falkens, uh, can I take advantage of that, but it's Kami Kopp that scored
the last couple. Yeah, right now, Kami, we've had a little bit of a moment
Tom is still in their favor, this one off the side wall, the T-Rex just gonna try and stop it, but the 50 goes through, forward and it's out, just immediate setback on target!
Ruas deep in that third to keep it out!
A cool response from the building, Ruas!
Conor and Cherny have that one, Ruas had it covered though!
Need to do more, Ryze, this time he does have boost!
Ato is the player, who's the recipient?
Follows it up, Killers in the air, Ryze gets there, Ruas is next, Killers wants to take this boost from Ato, but can't do it.
Atlus tear at the front, as he goes solo he does.
Rosie has a player on the set to find.
CLK redirects it towards Killers.
And right now Falcons, I think,
had me just knocked to conceive for the next 10 seconds or so.
100% right now Falcons.
Oh, and they still might be slightly playing to survive here.
Too many close squalls for comfort.
35 seconds left on the clock.
TRK pushes on in.
This one is going to flow down the follow.
It's here!
No space, and again, it's Atlus losing the challenge in the air.
Focus too good with that play.
And the finish from Arras was a smart one behind the defender.
Now there's 29 seconds, and Kami got her plays that are nothing if not icy.
What can they do here?
Batira, I'm trying to get in here!
That's what they can do.
Rise of Batira, that makes them famous kick-off plays
when a goal was needed on land in their time.
That's another one to add to the collection.
And 70 team focus to be thinking where did that play go wrong 20 seconds now
17 seconds now, whichever I was saying about how come he caught me gonna kick ups they're gonna try again
Let's see what they got 17 seconds on the clock this one up to the ceiling and down
And this one makes a left!
Oh, a towel leaves it for Vitero!
One, two, one!
Oh, witnessing.
Take this.
Valkyrie will need three in a row.
Valkyrie's taking it.
The meta is all with them.
Ruas, into the center.
Killers thinks about going for the ball, but can't.
But Sierra gets it past TRK.
Ryze is there.
The three-matt passing plays just behind Atto.
Unable to do too much more with it.
So it falls for Vitero.
This one should be cleared.
As far as Atto yet again.
Could be his seventh overtime winning goal
in this tournament.
A little bit of a slower play here from Ryze.
They just went out of their own half,
but Falcons are slowly pushing forward.
You see Rwass, instead it was Killers on the challenge.
C or K is going to clear it forward.
Atalya's going to have to stop it,
but you can see all of the Falcons ready to attack.
There's the first, the initial play.
The demo comes through, but Karni Korn continue to survive.
Zera pitches it forwards.
Rwass has no boost for that.
Of course, in two months, Shuffle Killers
is offering support as well.
Finally, Rwass.
get a hundred. He waits. Just trying to tip calming cop forwards.
But here it takes the bait against it back to the side.
That was one by Atta went to the center for him.
Maybe killers do that offensively.
Calming cop unrelenting.
See Falcons the brick wall and let us a kick off.
Just over a minute into this overtime, Falcons have been
sucked every single time.
This is the lead. The dream lead that everybody has wanted
to get over the Falcons, a team that is not lost once this week.
A team that before this series had only lost two games in total.
Carmencourt, there is a vengeance, there is revenge,
and they are pulling every single thing they want off.
I mean, this number one high performance replay
only won for the Hs because the plays that Carmencourt was showing,
Johnny Warren is watching somewhere with the biggest smile on his face,
I'm sure
Miss kind of coming up happy studying that time. Oh
1000%
There is no way Carmen Corp did not have a full-blown plan for the next time they face off against the Falcons
You can tell I mean I say it over and over and over again, but Carmen Corp are just so
methodical and
Just accurate with every single player that they put forward right now
who has had a hat-trick in that game. 720 points and on the losing team.
You know, Kami-Kon pulled in the 4-500, so a true team performance from the boys in blue.
And Falcons now, they've used their time-out, they've left everything on the pitch,
but they still find themselves with two games needed just to bring this one back.
Kami-Kon, one game away from top four at Worlds 2024.
rise out into the mid. This one pinched back, but a towel's not letting it stay for long.
Falcons backs against the wall and Carmen Corp in a very favorable position.
20 seconds into this one, a towel to deadball it. Can they get control?
It does seem like Carmen Corp has started this one the better.
And one of those clean touches, but Oax doesn't let us opponent have that one.
But Sierra follows up. You can see okay, that one nearly forced this way towards the goal.
TRK's attempted pass to the tad high, so I'm surprised.
He can get it forward to Katera, trying to get the dunk into the middle.
After it was breeding it nearly, the ball flasks across his body.
TRK on the counter.
The rise up against TRK, I think it was.
Now, Killa has a chance of force to the center of the rise.
Up against Ruass, that was pulling down for Ruass.
Again, I wanted him to have the flip reset from the ceiling.
It's not on that occasion, but in the end,
TRK can try and do something with it!
Katera, make us all go!
Oh, no!
This is not the direction you want to start off game number five. I mean props to TRK
It's just a great attempt at Dunkwood that was that was all
Yes, I'm fortunate there for Brattira the bull just landing on his head
You're driving into your own goal. This is sort of risky take is another kickoff play comes up from car default
That one my flight is affected as the three in a row be sold and again prior
This fits down towards TRK T Falcons today managed to keep that tails up after taking the lead
They have done some action by the next kickoff for once. How's going on to the crossbar?
Killers might be able to put this one away. He does!
And MCRK!
You can't cat out the Falcons even when they're down.
They still find a way to dig themselves out of the hole that they were in.
Great pass! Falcons take the lead by two.
And you know they will be concentrating fully for the next five seconds or so.
What the Falcons do to counter these coming court plays.
Neutral there, full source rise.
Ruass just waits, Vulcan's unsure. Breathe an internal sigh of relief.
His finest weight of a tear at us would perfectly get some bumps instead of see how they come forward.
Could be three, should be three, won't be three, thanks to Ruass.
Right now the Falcons, they are just trying desperately to get on through,
but Karmine Corp are building up a break.
They cheat them out!
Through us and gold.
Perhaps the best goalkeeper in World Rocket League,
Showing us why again
TRK
Bless to keep this to go lead
But that's okay taken out the game killers helps him out but Sierra into the center rise has moved so much more than killers
The killers have the head start to okay now up against
Who asked into the center to your case rising the block has to be perfect from the chair
Doesn't know not quite enough speed on that one
One, as this one goes forward, Ryze no bump on the play,
means this one gets sent back into the blue side here.
TRK over one, not pass two.
Ryze keep it out and the Falcons continue to try and push
in this half.
They stay for now, but Petira is gonna take it away
with that mid-boost collect.
This could be a good opportunity for a challenge.
He does.
Ryze, shot on target, Zenon.
That was a bit behind her last throw,
but letting the commie coplayer act up against CLK.
That was a shot there for Ryze,
and you ain't gonna save that one.
It's two to one.
You could see him waiting for it, too,
if it was going to be coming back straight to him.
And he saw the gap, he saw the opening.
He took the moment and rose to the occasion.
It was a smart finish as well, Rolas.
He knocked it sideways, too.
The team focus players, we couldn't get in there.
That's a good kickoff there for Kami.
Kumi caught by the shooting charge,
so we're following it up.
TRK sends the ball as far away as he can.
Ryze is up. Ryze has two.
TRK watches his opponent use the ceilings.
here and up to the ceiling yet again. That's those coming in. TRK is going to win this one.
Team Falken's trying to hold their nerve, trying to hold their lead. And they do for now.
Almost get the counter. TRK wants to get the bump on Matira, but Matira dodges him.
Nobody's there. Either here comes Killers, those thoughts. TRK, TRK, center.
Two Roo walks, Roo walks, OX for the corner here. And they're going to have to separate a
little bit on this one. It's climbing court. However, headed their way. Challenge after
challenge they push into the Falcon half a shot up for Vatira to take and it's almost over!
Yeah, Miss Falcon's defending is huge, Ato!
It's almost goes it all!
He takes the shot through us this time!
No one at Falcon's has boosts, count on the ball!
Such low boosts for the Falcons and Carmen Club!
They are taking every challenge possible, wasting all of their resources, set back!
This is a breather for the Falcons.
A demo could open up anything for them,
but nobody takes it and said it's two touches for TRK.
Killer striker tried this one forward.
Ruass caught himself off.
It's TRK with a shot set to the side.
Falcons are two men back at all times.
Not leaving anything for granted.
If Carmen Koffe were going to get this equalizer,
they're going to have to do it against at least two defenders,
maybe even three.
And finally, Falcons have the ball
penned back on the blue half.
Two half, Ruas pitches it almost past Ryze.
Keylets in the past in the center as he shoots.
The material clears.
37 seconds on the clock, a towel, the one that is scored
in every single crucial moment for this team.
Not on the play, this one sent back.
30 seconds on the clock, Carmencorp.
They're running out of time to try and equalize a towel.
Recent to the backcourt, follow up!
A sweet as Belgian chocolate.
There is Atta with the play.
Recent Ryze was up for it.
And once again, Vulcans just have victory stolen for them at the death.
22 seconds on the clock, off the kickoff, this one goes.
Ruox, one touch, and down, here comes Ryze, lurking in the corner, going for the challenge.
Killers up next, this one goes down, a down, almost on target, but a nine.
Instead of 50s back off the side wall, killers try to continue to-
Over time.
Potential dangerous kickoff here as this one goes in favor of KC, Ryze to follow it.
Bumped off into the mid. Killers shot is wide.
Xera, he takes a split second.
Gets hit past TRK. The pitch is good.
Ruas Redditlo, and he booms it as far as he can.
Ryze shoots.
Surely he can have scored this week, if he does.
Oh, thankfully Clarell. Killers was back.
He time out in this one, and Valkyries are gonna breathe a small sigh of relief,
but they're gonna get straight back into it here.
Ryze, try and push forward on it.
Vatira up next, no boost to his name at this point, it's a dead ball!
They're trying to take this one from the ceiling and down with the Falcons, take this one away!
He's got nothing!
He's got nothing!
Lobside Vatira at rating, the Hatch, Vatigotes, loving the camera, Atto with the shoes,
and they've earned that top ball for the Blue Wall! Who would have seen that coming ahead of London?
This is probably one of the more memorable wins we will see.
To be the first to defeat the Falcons in their RLCS Worlds run, but it's not over yet.
This is not the end of the journey for the Falcons, they have another life.
They do.
And I think that when they do come up against Oxygen a little bit later on, Oxygen are
They're not gonna face a fulcrum that they're just gonna go for the throats. Time after time after time.
This is a team that's not used to losing, but it does not like losing.
But Karmin Korp, I mean, today's all about them. Top 4 for Casey.
First team to make it into that top 4. They're a well-earned victory. Make some noise for Karmin Korp.
I mean it is just smiles all the way around you couldn't be happier for them again well-earned well-deserved
In the crowd showing their appreciation and not just the blue wolf fans that have traveled as ever
from France usually supportive so impressive the way these French fans follow their teams around
You see from the highlights
It wasn't easy Falcons had yet another leaps and they got to as well
You know, from there it seemed like, you know, not a comeback, but straightness out from outside of that.
It was just such a back and forth series and I got to give credit to the Falcons as well.
Being able to come back so many times over and over and over again.
But Carmencourt at the end of the day, they knew what needed to be done.
They did it! And there is one person we all want to hear from and he's down with our big man Lee.
The blue wall has succeeded one more time. Give it up for Carmen Gore!
Butira, I was just saying it, well actually first off, off the back here,
Wave on me to know, those are expensive, are they not?
Yeah, yeah, they are. They definitely take us.
They look good though. I like the style.
Butira, first off, how good does it feel having the blue wall behind you,
the fact that fans travel around the world to see you guys and support you guys?
To be fair it means a lot to us and it gives us a lot a lot of strength to be everything and to make them proud
And even that if there are not a lot, it still means a lot for us
Farah, for a while since we chatted we saw you smiling over there
How happy and proud of you of these guys right now that you guys have come back after a little bit of a gap and are
Still able to walk away with so many successes
Vipits
I said how happy and excited are you that you guys can come back after such a longer gap and still have so many successes I
Mean
You know losing hurts, but I think I
Generally believe you know
It's part of the reason why we are so resilient today
You know like the zero second goal and everything this could have crushed us
But look every time the team takes a lead against us. They don't hold it
And again, there's a reason that you guys are considered one of the most professional teams out there
I feel like the work and the understanding of you're up here to do a job comes through so clearly
Every time you guys win now
I'm curious what the plan was for the Falcons because obviously there's such a strong team
Did you guys come in with a specific game plan for Falcons?
Nothing to say. We're just the best right now. We didn't like care about them
We just focus on us and we just think it's so good to be there.
I mean I guess for you then coming up against teams that are so good they consistently make their grand finals.
How do you keep the players focused in lock and not forgetting about the end goal?
It's game by game and I think playing against good teams like the best teams, it makes us play better.
Like we know how to play against them and we know that's kind of us.
One last question. Have you guys learned how to square dance yet? Can you square dance? No, they probably can.
Give it a one more time for Carmingor.
Every time a team takes the lead against us, they lose it. Man, fighting words here for Carmingor.
Farah feels strongly about his team that no matter what situation they're in, they'll find a way to get through it.
And now Carmingor, after missing the London Major, are top four.
Hey guys, they're back, they're ready.
They're one of the best in the world.
I think the players knew that coming into this world championship.
K corp would be fighting for them.
But now they're the first team in the top four.
They just take down the Falcons who have looked unbeatable
throughout this tournament.
It's scary for every other team here.
This is almost a similar script than Copenhagen.
K corp take the first two games.
They come in hot and then wouldn't we stand on the desk?
Okay, early focus time out.
And as K-Corp walked out of the arena, G2 walked in.
So the fans aren't cheering about K-Corp,
so they're very happy to finally get to see
the little people at home imagine.
Imagine, they're really excited for the blue wall now.
They're still not, but here's some highlights.
K-Corp, man, what can you say about Ato as well?
The overtime winner's set in land record
most overtime winners ever.
He's clutched, man.
He's simply clutched.
He barely making any mistakes.
And Kate Corp.
They just keep scrapping.
They keep focusing them out in game number one.
You saw, and they focused multiple times throughout the series.
They had to leave.
And they simply couldn't get the job done.
They couldn't hold.
Kate Corp would keep going.
Keep scrapping.
They went a 3-1 in this game.
I believe they lost this game.
Number two, beatable play by Ato.
And an overtime goal in this game right here.
By Ato, for that?
Yes, well, Ato, this is the one that clinches
the record six overtime winners,
the most in land history.
It's been land history right here and already that's one game where Falcons had to leave and K-Corp took it from right here
It was back in form zero zero body great slot
I don't think anybody oh no, they scored at zero seconds and then K-Corp won this one as well
Over time this has just been the closest match didn't go to seven
But it had the intensity of a game seven and I could easily see a rematch happening in this tournament because it's not being
the Falcon this is just the beginning of the K-Corp who are back yes and this
means that Falcons will not face kick off unless they meet in the grand finals
I mean the opposite side of the bracket so honestly Falcons they did fight though
they came back in late moments to score these clutch goals but back and forth
we go game four was insane and four was too insane Falcon you go to 17
seconds left you got to be more precise of the kickoff you can't get
party that much space where he can get a lead block and it's a my
follow-up after this. Game number five, Falcons up two again. Atos plays over the top. There's
another lead that Falcons let it go away. And if you do that too many times in a series,
I guess a team like Harmony Corp, they're going to punish. You can rise it back to the stage.
And that's exactly what he do. And the MVP race, I think, is now going to turn Ato right now.
He had some clutch moments throughout that, throughout this whole tournament. But Roos
was also participating in most of the Falcons' goals. Falcons looked like they could have
would have won that match. It was back and forth. Yes, it was a 4-1 victory.
But K-Corp knows that if they do meet in the grand finals, Falcons are going to make it close.
Man, imagine if that was our grand finals at the end. We'll find out here shortly.
But what a match. Lots of things to look at and to break down and to salivate over.
Johnny Boy, what you looking at?
Let's take a look more closely at that Forbidden Temple Overtime winner.
It was a really great game. I mean, Falcons, like you guys mentioned,
it's so many leads in this series. But let's just let it run through once again
to remind yourself how that one
all ended. Rwasti RK off the
screen. They're going to be
gone for a while. Colleagues all
of one of the back unable to
waste enough time to buy his
teammates time to come back and
Ato gets the goal. But
overhead gives us a little bit
of a clear idea of what's
happening here. So of course,
Rwasti RK stacked on top of
each other. This is
something Falcons love to do.
They love to stack the pitch
in one place and play off of
each other really quickly, but
that can lead to situations
like this. Look at where
they end up as we let this
And he's inside of the goal.
TRK goes for a boost steal that is not there.
So both these guys are way out of the game.
Now, Kalyers obviously could do better with this.
But this is tough.
I mean, when you put your last man on an island like this,
he's essentially in a 3v1.
Yeah, you're asking to get scored on.
And of course, that is what happened.
We'll let it roll through from the overhead.
And you can just see that there's no way
Roulas is getting back inside.
He does actually barely close in your post,
but he can't cover the whole goal.
Ato Snipes about to corner.
But let's take a look, Kalyers POV, finally.
What could he have done?
you can see he is hit this ball quite high up to the wall. That is a mistake in the situation if
he hit it along the ground and had it roll up the wall, then that would have been much safer. The
ball would have gone up the wall and off your screen and there would have been nobody from KC
immediately ready to get the counter attack started as his clear tried to turn on his own
ball here realizing he's alone. Couldn't get there, but we could watch it one more time
just from his POVC where that all went wrong. Didn't have time to turn on it and as you
You all know, Army Corp got the goal.
So lots of overextensions from Falcons.
Army Corp were able to create goals at one end,
but Falcons have got to stop leaking these at the other.
Thank you so much, Johnny.
Do you feel like this is a...
He's describing this as like,
this is the way that the Falcons play.
Yeah, and this is one of the ways
that they score so many goals
is those tight commitments with each other,
but it does create openings on defense.
Yes, but that's the exact same thing
we saw earlier with K-Corp.
They did the same exact thing.
They leave their third man on an island here or there,
and that's where the counter attacks come in.
Both teams will rely on that third man to waste enough time
because they're both so offensively minded.
They're gonna send two very close each other
for those infield passes.
And spacing and pacing was everything in this game
because you give anyone time and space on the ball
and either of these teams and they were gonna be deadly
and I think playing that tight
and going for those risky fifties,
if you're the last one back,
if you can just deny that,
you gotta go for it sometimes.
And if it leaks through, that's just the risk
you're gonna take.
If you hesitate in decisions like that,
that's how you play further back
You give even them give them even more space. It's just hindsight is 20 20. Yeah, so here's the look at the bracket
Though we got K Corp. You see that in the pre-limb final that is top four one life left
K Corp will absolutely take that though. They are sitting pretty you see Falcons have a match against
Oxygen oxygen have been the story of the tournament so far here baits the Cinderella coming up
That's when the no one thought that this was gonna they would never make it this far
yet here they are having knocked out the gentlemates. Falcons just feels like
another caliber of a team to have to go through. Yeah Falcons is another caliber
too and if Falcons ends up being Oxygen and if G2's cry ends up being BDS you
would have G2 versus Falcons in the regular final one match earlier than
most would have been effective. And Falcons have been a little bit allergic to
your VATers okay and is Oxygen gonna be the kryptonite they've already
upset gentlemates and I don't know how much to underestimate overestimate
oxygen well folks we've got one more match on the day we'll see those matches
tomorrow but before we are done on Saturday it's time for what is becoming
the international L Classico G2 playing BDS it wouldn't be a Rocket League
World Championship if these two teams didn't clash it's gonna be an exciting
one you won't miss it the official uniform no tunes today no my apartment
Was Rob already TV, DCR, portable cassettes?
Latest tech.
If only progressive and brimstone trance,
like their home insurance.
Then we could bundle our cars
and get the same 24-7 protection.
I think we disevented that.
This is the best day ever.
Well, I still got robbed.
So, pretty good day.
This is the opportunity
to bring that you set upon yourself.
Here.
Tea Bates here.
We get another edition of Tea Bates Debates.
Let's see what tweets you send in this time.
Who would you rather be stuck in an elevator with?
Beast Mode, Johnny Boy, Zen, Bazzary, oh well.
By automatically, this one and this one
can be knocked out immediately, and I'll tell you why.
They both talk too much.
So then you go Beast Mode and Zen.
And at that point, I gotta eliminate Zen
because I don't speak any French.
So then, give me Beast Mode.
We can talk about sports, and we're good to go.
A lot of access with who sent me a solo queen.
I'll read it out just for you though.
Do you value longevity or peak dominance
when evaluating players who rock the league?
Okay, or for example, oh god, just like when in school.
Would you say a player who won two majors
over five years of great play
or a player who won three majors in two years
as one of the best players in the world
would be greater all time?
Alive, you answered your own question yourself.
Two is less than three.
The player who won three majors would be great.
Now, if you said, I'll even change it up for you.
Now, you said three majors over five years
I think it's a little different.
And I think that, at that point,
I think I'd go with the three majors over five years
over the three majors over two years, you know.
The next time, keep the majors the same.
What US State has the best Rock League?
10-10.
Well, I'll tell you from what.
It's for damn sure, not Texas.
Y'all are predicted.
Chalkcats will be first touch.
So automatically, Texas knows absolutely nothing
about Rock League.
It's not y'all.
After that, it could be any of them,
Any of them, besides Texas.
I'll even go to Alaska.
I only know if Alaska has any Rockin' players.
I'll still say Alaska knows Rockin' League
and has the best Rockin' League over Texas,
just because y'all don't know ball.
Forget your Texas.
As a little lawyer, you might get into a situation
where you have to defend a client
that you might not be.
So please, defend Johnny's take
of putting Daniel as the 13th best player
and the top three top players in the world today.
There's a Rockin' career, that's excellent.
I'll give it a little best shot.
My client, Johnny.
clearly has Daniel a 13 best player in the world
and he's actually right after the one.
Daniel so far this year,
not only has he made it to every single final,
he's only won one of them.
If he was better than the 13 best player in the world,
he would win all the finals this year.
When Beast Mode didn't play at EWC, you know Daniel did?
He couldn't even make the grand final
and he played with the N-A-M-V-B, Beast Mode.
That shows you how much Beast Mode brings to the table.
That shows you how little Daniel can say to him.
Also, before Daniel Tino beats Mono Atomic,
give me his results.
Choke, choke, choke, and then little choke.
So it makes sense.
And I think that Johnny Boyd, my AKM client,
I think he knows ball and I don't think he do.
God razor, will you help me beat my legal case?
Now that you're a lawyer, my solo queue teammate
is suing me for missing an open neck.
I'm still waiting on my bar results,
so I don't know what I'm already at.
I gotta say that's amazing.
Two, my solo queue teammate is suing me
for missing an open end.
I'll tell you this, if I ever run for public office,
I will make it a legal crime to miss open it.
And then, wait, oh, well, yeah, wait,
you be in trouble at that point.
So maybe I don't want to make that.
I'm sorry, I can't be proud of you.
You be a joke.
Still miss open that's seven, eight,
everything one of these shoutouts said,
Mr. Bates, who are you most confident
in being able to take on a one-to-one
between you and Chalcas and why?
I think the obvious answer is Johnny boy,
but I'm gonna go CJ CJ.
And I'll tell you why.
CJ CJ, the last time we saw me,
And Nicky's arena, what happened?
He backfliped.
He backfliped when he mattered most.
And he's got backfliped when he sees me coming down
the middle pipe on him.
He's got to see T-Base.
He's got to see the gold octane or the gold fennec.
He's not going to know what to do.
He's got to be confused.
He's got to be dazed.
And when Bates goes over the top,
he's got to be saying, help, help!
He goes into his net.
And Bates is screaming from across the stage.
And you got the whole entire ticket arena
screaming, fires, touch, fires, touch.
That's what I want.
That's how I'm confident to see they see you.
I take CJCJ's hard way.
I take the pride of Oceania away, and I take Chalkhast away as well.
Give me CJ CJ.
He's just gonna be GG, no Raven Bates is coming down.
Never mind.
Oh my God.
Down to the last two base debates for the season.
Keep sending those silly questions in.
I'm out.
The reunion run here for Carmen Cork continues to scintillate
and forward as they have punched their ticket to the top four
and a championship Sunday.
The Falcons are still alive.
We'll see them play tomorrow.
But the road ever so slightly longer welcome back to for worth the championship continues to draw ever closer that trophy
And moments away that moment away from being hoisted. We're getting closer to the moment of it being hoisted
That's a sentence. I was trying to say I might fuck I got baits like I give and Dazrin Dazrin. How you feeling as uh?
It is now official you have the best win percentage of any player you to actually yeah
You in Bates at the best one percent of any player and her I click world championship. It's lonely at the top laser
That's all I gotta say, but thankfully I have base here with me. He could join me and the killers
We're gonna continue that domination day in and day out
I'm still waiting on a great challenge talk has gave us everything again, but it just wasn't enough
I mean is it an official match if it wasn't completed?
Listen they change the rules wasn't we only play by the rules that they can think they change the rules
We got the dope. Yes on that well folks
I'm everyone enjoyed that match earlier, but they're very excited about the match
We have no they are moment any the moment the g2 players walked out the energy in the building
Rose and that is the match we have for us here
We're playing through that far left side of the bracket and we've gone through three of them now
It's time for this match and this this is so much so many stories here
We've talked about you know back in the back in the day back in the before times Gibbs
When it came to like the international matchup it was I by power versus flipside. Yeah
And then it kind of became g2 versus flipside and then it kind of became g2
Versus Vitality Dignitas, there's a little energy in there, energy Dignitas as well.
It's been G2 kind of the whole time, but Vitality now, the team carrying that mantle, it's time to get the team to the stage.
It's time for our last match of the evening.
Introducing first on the blue side, representing Europe led by 2022 World Champion Monkey Mood, twice into the World Spinals.
RLCS and it's all of the years of all RLCS. That is the loudest poo I have ever heard
Public enemy number one
specifically on the left side
We've seen what he's done on this stage
He means business and this crowd remembers what happened last time he was here
But you got to bring up what happened last time there was here
They might not be the reigning world champs anymore base, but monkey moon in particular and BDS are the dickies arena champion still defending
So, uh, Monkey Moon, listen, of 21-22, Monkey Moon took him apart, he came out to a course of booze then, he had to deal with a booze then, and he wasn't afraid, he wasn't fanged.
And I've never seen Americans walk faster out of this building two years ago when BDS took down G2. They flocked, they were gone. It was over, but BDS, the game plan, feed exotic.
He has been the offensive MVP throughout this tournament for BDS.
He, Keaton, him.
We'll see if they can do it.
Dickies Arena, get up and get loud.
This G2 squad is going to have this place shaken.
Who has been welcomed as a whole team for this crowd.
And this is what these fans have been waiting for all day long to see.
And A's best up on that stage.
G2, the last remaining North American team.
This is the title match chat let us know how you feel about it hashtag bds hashtag g2 we
know how the arena is feeling about it but how storied is it in rlcs they have played
five times in the history of the game g2 holds the head to head at three to two a narrow
margin but those three wins they came at majors the two losses both at world championships
bds as g2's number when it comes to the world championship can they change it here
especially in a match that does not involve elimination.
That's the question.
G2 and every single grand finals,
can they make it to top four here,
taking down the European team?
Now remember, both majors, European soil and G2
was in the finals and they won one of those.
Now with the American crowd behind them,
you expect them to make it back.
There's a difference though, Gibbs.
They're on European soil.
Now the Americans or the crowds could be with them.
How was G2 gonna deal with that?
None of these players have played in front of a crowd in over at least like 18 months.
That was the last time we saw any of them play in front of NA.
This is North American soil, but Dickies Arena, believe it or not, is BDS soil.
G2 would love to take it back from them.
This is the first step on that journey.
We know how the arena feels about it, but how do we feel on the desk?
When it comes to who we actually think is going to win,
not who we want is going to win, but who we actually think is going to win.
That's right. We saw BDS here on this stage when a world championship
We saw that man monkey moon on this stage when a world championship
Everyone around the world, you know who's taking this one. She or be today. Give me BDS at this one folks
I don't care what I think you care what the coin thinks we got it on both sides here folks. Okay, here we go
Let's get to the game. Let's get it to the game folks
This is what everyone's been waiting for your title match folks here in the South
We love it being checked without these rivals clashing the champions of Dickie's arena
Against the North America have today thrown the King of Dickie's arena monkey man G2 BDS a rematch
From the world champs two years ago. It feels like destiny
Atomic won't boost. See Daniel waiting for his turn. Exotic will as well
to cover the corner. Certainly, and TBS have all the resources to play spoil.
So what happened to SSG now? Here's Troy, here's North America's last hope.
It's the best team from NA, the major champs. It's much easier now.

You saw him buying time until Beast Mode could arrive on the scene.
Atomic also low.
Zoning out, still low. You saw the boost stolen, but Daniel on the other end lets him all reset.
Zoned.
And Tony the crowd love it.
Hey punk, say it.
They've got the series in terms of head to head, but those losses.
Now waltz.
Beast Mode.
Rockford challenge position gets assistance

Panic clear across the field. Beast mode. Tapping to the backboard. Gets the double pass. Monkey Moon clears it. Straight up the gun. Exotic. Got the demo.
Big demo indeed off the backboard as well. You can see Tomek low boost with the clear. Monkey Minus, the Golden Orca touch though. He's going to lose possession.
Beast mode corner. Damn bridge. Tomek wants it. He's got 12 boost.
Tomek has been low boost in so many moments in this game.
Bunchy Moon across the field, Atomic will have boost this time.
Reset once, taps over another as well.
Exotic, tearing up the gun.
Beast Mode gets around him.
Atomic will take over.
He stole the corner versus Wally.

He's reaching for that dance straight in as well.
Old 3 and BDS with watching defense here.
Atomic just keeping that ball in.
He saw a game, he'll land that bump
and be able to grab the corner.
This attack shaping up for G2.
Double tap pass out to the middle.
Big smoke! His shot starts.
Double commit though, and at the time he still wants in.
This has been a lot of pressure for G2.
Minute 45 still got the lead.
Strally goes to the side.
He's smoked all he can do is get the 50.
He's got low boost.
Has to get out now.
Fade comes through.
Monkey Moon goes for the slot.
Stand with the 100 boost catches.
Harman collected so far as G2.
Meanwhile, he's seen BDS exotic nut.
Be able to control the ball.
Monkey Moon with his panic touches.
BDS still trying to settle in.
Only trailing by one plenty of time for them to get back into it get to get their first number ball down as atomic with 60 booze
All of Jets are in the corner. It's dangerous
But it's not a blow monkey as to turn takes a 50 dance here or boost
You can see face might draw yourself back and it looks just beyond good
And that bump on one boost get it you see Daniel as well that 50 genius atomic trying to pick up small pads
So I get hung up on that post there for a brief moment and Team BDS, they find their equalizer.
The crowd has made their allegiance very clear after that goal.
These go down, 200 boosts to lose the touch.
Oh, the camo!
It's Tommy, it's Tommy.
Just making the save. BDS still on the attack.
We saw Draw even after getting boosted back to the ball and we'll get a piece of it.
Daniel.
We'll have to rotate all the way back. Atomic thinking about his options. It's a high first time.
I don't think he was expecting to get that much power on it.
Definitely didn't want to miss that piece, no doubt.
If it's double, he's actually gonna end up carrying it across.
And luckily enough, still there. You can get one more on it. He does find the dunk.
This is a jigsaw pressure. If they can set something up here, it's another miss coming through.
I'm sorry. Fun to do this time. Double commit BDS, but I found it downfield.
Charlie. That support.
Fight! And I was thinking Sonic was going to take the shot.
Charlie had no boost. It looked like he lands on the ball.
And you can see even G2 thought Sonic was going to take that shot.
And it was just Daniel getting dusted on the side wall.
It totally couldn't get back into the V2 to B.
Now BDS, 20 seconds, they might have stolen game number one.
Exotic goes a lot of time, comes through.
See Dan throwing himself.
Sommick with no boost, throws it up to Daniel.
Now Marky Moons going, dropped down to the back of it.
Sommick blocks, 10 seconds.
He smolders off the ceiling, pass into the center.
Exotic was there to deny it,
and Atomic will have to do so much work to keep this alive.
Still up, still up though.
Dan pops across.
I'm going to get back, no he can not!
BDS 1-0!
And you could tell there were nerves on both sides, even that last player backflip!
Atomic, with that miss flip, making it so he could not get back to the ball.
In early on we saw a couple of those missed touches from Team BDS.
But in the end, Team BDS stepping up, Karali, getting both goals as we take a look.
The highlights and the M1 high performance replay.
It's a great start for G2 as well.
The crowd absolutely loving it.
They had a lot of pressure with it.
A couple of mistakes and it was that boost consumption.
Good pressure from BDS.
And really, CJ, you said a boost consumption.
It seemed like there was no boost.
Every time they were going to Atomic's POV,
it seemed like he was running on empty.
And even that last goal, it was because G2 was left
scrambling because they weren't so starved on boost, dbds everywhere doing a great job of grabbing
those corner boosts of g2 on the rotation out and even the small pads didn't seem available for g2.
It's one thing as well to have the entire stadium on your side but that also means a whole lot
of pressure on you as well to get the job done. I wonder what the nerves are like right now
for g2. See sathu just locking the boys back in. I actually spoke to sathu this morning
Obviously have three potential teams only facing in this last series and he did say that BDS would be the toughest matchup
Would be the one that they perhaps not prefer
And he's looking like like that so far at least after game one, but certainly could have gone either way
G2 did start out with that first goal in game one
Pick things up here in game two exotic
Lovely control gets the 50
probably with a bit of time
We'll buy even more for his teammates taking it over to the side wall, tapping it over to
exotic who didn't make contact with Daniel Low-Boost.
We'll try to pass this off but no one was there on that side wall.
Maybe a bit rusty, you know, G3 had the day off yesterday.
Now the Beastline was practicing through the long hours of the night.
Making sure he was sharp to this one just so far.
It's BAN BDS.
It's that experience in front of the crowd's paying off.
Orboose stolen right in front of Atomic's base.
And there's Bruce Snacked Daniel up against Drolley who goes for a ceiling pinch and a bomb but Daniel
Will the dodge it still gets his touch on the moon
Looking for help from Drolley, but Drolley retreats
Now clear down the sideline G2 gonna try to keep a hand on this but exotic made that difficult
Yeah, you can see Dan trying to get across. It's big mistake
It's actually too good now for BDS and then it'll go quick G2
They need to go right now as he said it last, and he's done so well.
Exciting.
Reading that dribble attempt into the middle.
G2 is trying to cut it back, but Exotic saw that coming.
Tank is clear, it's monkey moon catches.
Just trying to keep close to it, does have support underneath.
There it is, he's got it with a touch.
Goes to sidewall, skimmed, B-Smoot ready for it.
Scrolls it down to its homing, but the clear is coming through.
They're not keeping possession at the moment, G2.
He's not up very early on for the double,
Oh, and that's tonight by Monkey Moon.
But you see Exotic floating with no boost.
You just see Vitya so wary of that backboard.
They had two ready for it.
This time it's Atomic, has them beside him.
Back to his Beast Mode up front.
There, third man down.
Monkey Moon throws the pass with low boost.
Rally makes him off the corner.
Goes for the fake.
Exotic backs off.
U-Tan had it.
Beast Mode on being able to follow up the double.
Empty tank off of Boots down that corner.
Crawley going for a double.
battle for possession at the midfield.
So, Grady, that's confidence early.
Your first man's been that aggressive in such a big match.
Heavy, the crowd he can't shoot in this facility right now.
But there's the demo.
And the shot, all the rest you can see.
Moserby wanted to get a hand on it.
BDS, still pressing.
Exotic turns in.
Last missed on my dad.
Atomic had to skim the misses.
He's not as a full tank here.
Touches over to Atomic. Atomic through one going for the block, but there's out to the side.
Daniel to the corner. Now cleared up by Atomic.
Drolley, what will he do?
Get some, see him jump there, but Atomic, able to make that play.
Drolley's just been that aggressor a couple of times there.
First man is looking for the bounce, looking for those demos,
trying to worry out his G2 lineup.
He's no faker there.
Four down, he scoops off the 100.
He's got it off the ceiling.
Trying to go low, fakes everyone.
This has been trouble for G2, it has gone awry.
Unpredictable, they're exotic.
Kept everyone guessing to the very end.
And it's forced G2 all the way back here.
Still low boost as well.
Let's see Dan now up, ceiling.
He's got space on it, has the reset as well, backboard.
This is on the get BDS, just covering that backboard
so well at the moment.
G2 struggling to break through.
Charlie has a reset this time, they watched the fake.
Exotic, hoping for a good 50.
It was going towards the middle, but G2 a big boom out.
Harvard's right into the hands of Monkey Boon.
Now up for Jolly.
Atomic, low on boost, Daniel, low on boost.
Just booms it, finds peace mode in the air.
But Exotic, there to put a hand up.
Now it's going over to the other end.
A lot of aggression, a lot of pressure now from BDS.
Quite different from what we saw in game one
where G2 were those aggressors,
but BDS looking in control.
So that missed pass opportunity.
Too far away from his teammate.
TVDS though.
He's good so far.
Crawley.
The hand up. Atomic going to the backboard.
Atomic with the reset. Atomic.
Trying to do work.
Just said a respect there from Beast Mode backing off the dead.
Wants one more if he can find another touch.
Again the backboard is coming.
Atomic over to Beast Mode. Block this time.
Funky move.
Runs it down the side. Zero boost for him.
50 counts through. Rages on it. Strike to Atomic though, with this BG2 light, 20 seconds left.
Beast mode. Up to sideline. Atomic with all the way to BDS's corner to get that boost.
Monkey Moon with the tap down. Atomic to pass to Daniel. Atomic gets the demo.
Leaves it for Beast mode. Beast mode. Off the ceiling. Pushes to the back wall.
G-BDS trying to get it out. Back from Atomic.
They've lost the kickoff, Charlie's not going to get that.
It's my command. Keeping it in mouth of BDS.
G2 looking shaky and met.
Damn, with a 50, exotic, but they're leaving this with Charlie.
They're giving him space in that middle, that's unusual.
Another double command as well.
G2, you need some mistakes, you're late in this game.
Will they survive it?
Exotic had to pull a U-turn to get back to that one.
Low boost, nothing.
No foot 50.
Atomic going for backboard pass, low boost for Monkey Moon as well!
It's over for Beast Mode, Dan just gonna pop it up with a solo.
Exotic with zero boost on the side if you can get around him, does not.
G2 still keeping it in atomic, it's not the most efficient of touches though.
Just happen to throw it on there, Dan that shots again, it's just weaker than we'd expect from him.
Monkey Moon, straight in transition, gets a nice done, backboard read by Daniel, but no boost.
Daniel out of the play for a bit, but Beast Mode is there to help.
Beast Mode telegraph reset into a bump attempt, but didn't make contact with anyone.
Getting a bit more space now though G2, can you? It's the fage, it's Tommy's there.
This is very awkward for BDS, they let them in hanging on foot now, Beast Mode.
Zero boost for Drowley on that sidewall.
Now Tommy's up as well, they're just challenging in the corner.
It's on the exact place that G2 want to be, but they can't get in.
In this bloooww, damn, catches it across.
Beast mode, hoping to get this into the middle quickly.
BDS, trying to get it out of the half, there's a demo.
Will it slow G2 down?
Sonic just throws a beast mode, so ready for that one.
They'll have Booster G2,
and I can just try to make it as awkward as possible,
giving his teammates time to set up with Booster,
you can see that now, they both have 100.
He's auto-quading behind as well,
and he's ready for that.
They've left the net open G2, they don't get punished.
Libin on the edge for G2.
Beast mode, uses that 50 atomic.
Get him!
The exit cover of the fake, the other corner as well, he just had to guess what was happening.
Straight down the other end, not on net this time, monkey with 100.
You get a chance, pop over the top, come through, Charlie, just gonna throw into the corner, Beast mode.
I can troll it as best he can trying to keep it close to Tomek's prep.
Dian has to pop his bar, no follow, Drolley up straight away.
The shot at Dian almost again, it's just a Tomek with zero boost.
They're lunging right now G2, it's not letting, that's all here we go.
It's just going to be BBS again.
BBS wearing down G2 until there was nothing left.
They all had nothing in the tank G2.
The defense, you can feel the pressure of this matchup.
And I just got worn down in the end.
BDS, they're looking like an unstoppable machine,
a 0-0 overtime.
G2 in that game, having a few chances.
It looked like they were winning that boost battle
for a long period of time, but you can see how often
players from both teams are doing everything they can
with little trip or nothing in the team even the stops from from bts on the
back where we start drawly make some fantastic zero boost saves coming on
his own backboard same for exotic below booth plays have been the defining
really they have to find the series CJ absolutely and they're only able to
find one goal past bts which is concerning 4g to a team that really
have been dominating the scoreboard against every other team so far here
the world championships. Their first match in front of the crowd. Isn't quite the G2
we know. BDS doing so well to shut them down. Just limiting their boost usage and their ability
to grab boost has been a nasty factor so far. It has been a struggle for both teams. Trying
to wrestle that boost away from one another. We haven't seen really many individual solo
plays and surprisingly we have a time out called G2. That seemed like a late one CJ.
Yeah this is where Sathu earns his bread right now. Tomorrow down the worst thing you can do is lose
that next game and then have to reverse where we saw Stay Station almost get that job done
against Furia but it is very rare to be able to reverse sweep at best of seven so
So, call it now. Try and get the first game win on the board, but they need to find a way through this BDS out.
They're spending a lot of time when they are in attack in the offensive corners, but they're just, they're useless touches most of the time.
Just trying to keep the ball in for the sake of it. Really, they're not beating anyone out from BDS.
They've still got three in net. They've still got one on the back court.
So, when they go for these solo plays, it's just so covered every single avenue.
You can see these buddy can't he can't find a way through enough to Daniel
Meanwhile, you see BDS on the attack. They seem to have an element of surprise that G2 has not been able to have
TV DS has been able to be up in here from that get the reset keep G2 guessing
There we go after the timeout
We'll see if G2 has any tricks up there to leave
BDS have been all over them in game one and two still the timeout does right now
Really going to keep this. No boost, still gets attached.
Dan with the clear. This link up downfield is going to be huge.
4G2 if they can do it. This is all three right now, BDS.
Still working their way out. It's almost very fortunate there.
Mike Richmond demoed. He was down there on with 100 boost as well.
Dan's going to get time off the side. Excited for the 100.
You can see the three jump. He tries to work it around.
He tries to find one. No one following.
You can already see G2 mixing it up.
But not only getting the demo leaving the mid boost so that your teammate behind you can present that solo play threat
Challenge off the ceiling B smoke. We'll tip it over to Daniel Daniel
pressing further
Raleigh does fine monkey me who watches it down feel towards that Daniel
Nicely, that's better here for G2. That's still not really
Troubling BDS in Nets. So impressive BDS. They're just incredibly well-drilled by Casio.
Monkimoon finds himself awkward and Tommy saw that. Dan crept up a touch, still gets a great catch.
Over one. Rally back towards zero. They're just helping out so well.
BDS. I think G2 might have a chance to solo-clay. Monkimoon just bumping Daniel off the ball.
Still, G2 have a little possession.
Drolly though, kickstarting the counterattack.
It's off the G2 backboard.
Atomic with plenty of boost to make this stop.
It's ready.
You can just see how close all six players are sitting on this pitch.
Destruction just so tight.
It's on it now.
Catches. Sonic has to dodge the bump.
Jump over the top.
He's not wanting it.
It feels forced when they're trying to make these plays at the moment.
G2.
Surgical there by Daniel.
Dodging the bumps, getting the wave dash touch.
Now Beast Mode, hoping to drop that down.
Beast Mode stealing the corner.
Could be a chance here, shaping up for G2.
Beast Mode with the 50, out to the center of the field.
Atomic.
Still on it.
Atomic, rips the shot, forces a double commit.
I didn't get anything from this now, exotic.
He has zero.
I'm not going to get a back off.
That's a nice pinching cross.
Beast Mode, back and cross to Dan.
And now they're going to follow in with their timing!
They'll pull this time!
And when he's just thinking that they've got an avenue they can't break through,
and now there's a transition,
then gets the pop,
they start going to wait on Monkey Moon.
Hitch it close, and he almost pulled out.
Monkey Moon.
Having help from exotic BDS in the G2 corner,
but Atomic kicking it right back out.
Atomic.
Reset, and that's where he said,
off the arc and down.
What a read from Drawling.
Backboard defense has been an absolute world-class from BDS.
They've got every option covered so far.
G2 just can't crack through them.
They've got one goal so far this series.
Now it's in the orange half.
Let's boost.
Daniel, they can take the Beast Mode option early.
Now Beast Mode will try his hand
and get this ball past half.
Reset.
Wave dash attempt.
50 out to the middle of the field.
Daniel slow playing it.
Back down to the Brattle and Brown pinch.
Didn't beat Monkey Moon.
Monkey Moon, double tap pass into the middle, trolley kick, get the shot.
BDS with the bitter in the middle, Monkey Moon side.
It's time it's a Tommy.
Not a key bit, but every time they get past halfway,
they really come into struggle with their boost usage.
East number zero, and Tommy scoops up 100.
What's the turn back in second man?
He's not heading deep.
He come in now on the plate, throws it on net.
There's always two members of BDS right there.
Xhadek, under for a boost.
went over for that instead of playing the ball right away.
Pass up the sidewall.
Daniel going for another touch.
But exotic again there on the back wall.
That back wall defense.
It's balls through right now.
How do you get through?
Where's the demos?
Other bumps got to come through.
Nice drop pass across my connect.
There's the demo!
There's the demo!
He just had enough of that third man
being so influential for BDS.
46 seconds left.
Can G2 get their first game on the board?
Daniel back past the beast mode.
Under a minute left to go, but we've seen quite a few zero second goals this event.
Ok, good.
Back.
Exotic takes it even further.
He's gonna have 100 back corner. There's a demo this time, monkey.
Alright, it's off the beast mode. It's only glass.
He's done so well to just work around that one.
Pop now.
Hands it off to Daniel.
And a fine monkey.
18 seconds, G2.
He just needed to find it. You can see the bumps. It's so messy.
Drive him with the pop.
It's gonna be a free backboard. That's a reset. Bismo there in time.
Final 10, Monkey Moon with the cross. No one there to receive it.
Hammered down field. Even more time wasting away.
And there's the touchdown.
They get their first on the board. It wasn't pretty.
This way, Jerry's hasn't been pretty, CJ. It has been a mud-wrestling match.
It is mental warfare out there. This six players on the pitch, plus the coaches.
9 shots for G2, but it was an open net, it was a bump that was not even coming from the pressure that they were forming down the other end.
The defensive, the defensive CJ, they have been so airtight, it took that demo to just take a player off the field to finally get that bit of an opening.
And then there, you saw the passing play setting it up, but even that wasn't enough to rebound threatening G2.
G2 certainly looked like the team that deserved to win this game, but you see how often those
games, it takes us one counter attack by the defensive team to put it away.
But in the end G2, thanks to that beast mode demo, able to get on the board in the series.
In a sense this is big rocker league 1-0, perfect defense.
It might not be the flashy highlight plays that everyone comes to see, but you can
just see how well coached, how well structured these two teams are.
almost it interacts the opposite effect it becomes messy because you're just
trying to find a way to break through but ladies and gents North America with
that first win G2 they might need you here. Game 4 G2 looking to tie things up.
Team BDS, will they be able to get to match point?
Merly Demo, Monkey Moon, turns, but he's denied on the goal line, G2.
Demo, Tomahawk, on the green right corner for the double.
Somebody just got a hand on it, Charlie.
Met in the air by Beast Mode, he backs off, Monkey Moon solo play.
Gets it over one.
Charlie gets a 50 on one as it's on it now.
The hundred, Sy doesn't control it.
He's looking for the bomb, he's not well, helped out base mode, last man with low boost.
There it is yet, monkey moon was up if he found the skin.
Drolley trying to keep it in.
Monkey moon, 50 kick up the side wall, atomic, that's helped from beast mode, beast mode
lets it bounce, hitch attempt, kept in the corner, exotic, flicked up to Drolley.
Now monkey moon, hitting the brakes, trying to take it airborne around one, gets to
Fifty, but Daniel pressures it downfield really good. So far. Love the ways cutting through that middle watching the boss and that's
Watch it looks like a Tommy got bumped, but still fought through it
Definitely need another look at that one. It looks like a hopeless situation, but
Survive a couple of early threats
Tommy Dreset wants to leave it for Dan. He has 100 boost. Double commit, gives space to
Peace-Mote. Still has that first man to get through. It's off to Dan though. Doesn't get the reset, just goes
for the low dunk. Peace-Mote can get a pop, but at Tommy Quonsan, he's got zero. He's exotic and
can take his time with a 50, but it's right in the hands of Atomic who gets it over one.
This low boost for BDS. Dan's up. This is just touching the side.
Less than a hundred boost on all of GVDS right here. G2, they continue the attack. B-Snow!
Into B-Snow! And you see what G2 did there. You, everyone, from GVDS Law & Boost.
So they decided to keep that ball as high on the pitch as possible.
First time as well. That backpull wasn't as well. Chaldered there for BDS.
Momentum just plays such a massive factor in his esport.
It was that one win due to the confidence of G2.
They've got the lead again again.
Four B-Smo'd up.
See the bump coming through.
They've got to be so quick, so precise with the rotations.
Monkermoon gets bumped off.
Two Kermit now in the BDS.
Atomic is working across back posters there.
B-Smo's waiting for it.
Might be able to look for a bump with Dan in behind.
Troll by Exotic.
But now, trolley, going to clear it down.
Troll low boost.
He ran into a teammate on the rotation back.
He'll slow things down, Sonic, banged up on the post.
TVDS looks like they're slowing down a bit compared to G2.
See the difference as well, Atomic there on the backboard.
They're trying to clear that backboard.
Player from BDS out to give the free solo play.
See if that plays a factor with two minutes left.
Now, Mugman drives it down.
Exotic, great shot.
Atomic has been clutching defense.
Atomic last back, no sweat.
Double, defensively over the monkey
who's bumped off the ball.
Jolli fix it for Exotic.
Oh no, he picks it back up a little bit of an awkward touch.
Maybe T-M-E-D-S, not on the same page on that play.
Beast mode, this is a challenge.
Exotic outside, straight to Jolli.
More feats is coming through in the middle.
Exotic up quick to this one, but even faster was Dan.
Beast mode's gonna grab a hundred off the left.
Monkey Moon to beat, gets it around one,
face the second time, tries to get a bump or drill,
even no one from T2 ready to follow, just yet.
Atomic waiting for the time to challenge, jumps in,
there's a pitch backwards.
Beast mode up off the ceiling,
second effort doesn't make contact.
Golly, you get that up the field, monkey with the 50.
Nice pop, it's just a touch,
awkward Beast mode's up straight away,
and Dan's going in for the shot on there.
Muckamoo's zero boost to the side.
Beast mode with the reset.
Off the ground pitch.
TVDS, they sent two.
Charlie with zero boost, still got a hand on it.
Muckamoo popping it out.
And Tomic and G2 just want 50 seconds of the clean, precise Rocket League.
But the demos won't help them.
And another one through as well.
Charlie can just hand it score.
All in down, reading the devil chase.
Exotic season happening.
All he needs to do is deliver that ball across the goal line.
1-1. Pressure back on G2.
Sonic wins the kickoff.
He's going to fall straight to piece for the G2.
We have to do that once played out.
And there's a Tommy with the shot on.
It's starting for Heechi.
It's a game of millimeters at the moment.
Dan in there as well.
Drolley wants to touch.
Tommy, he can turn with 100.
I'm going to get a speed.
I was going to say he's got a beating around,
but he tried to get it straight into his one community
The exact swoops in to steal that corner.
Reset pass attempt, but that's intercepted.
Beastmote the flick.
Deflected off the backboard.
Daniel controlling off the corner.
Atomic pass off the steal.
What a blast.
Beastmote!
Sathu calls the timeout.
And they bounce, two on the bounce, tying this one up.
The kings of North America trying
to become the kings of the world.
We got a series.
Beastmote playing first man.
And really G2, they were pressing over and over and now how does Atomic wiggle his way?
It looks like he even got clipped there, maybe.
I have to see it again.
Atomic last back making these stops and then Beast Mode.
It's like when you've got the best wide receiver in a game, sometimes you just throw the ball up and let him go.
He's the X-Backed Up Beast Mode.
He is the difference in this comeback.
The timeout.
That first man change up from Beast Mode has been all the difference.
BDS had a response to this.
It was the bumps in game number three.
In game number four, it was Beast Mode.
Go, Beast Mode, go, Beast Mode.
Going for the redirects.
He is looking deadly for G2.
So looks like we do get that time out for BDS.
Put a damper on the plans of Team BDS.
30 seconds to Cascio to form some kind of game plan to wrangle back the momentum.
G2 with this crowd.
Pretty unstoppable force.
It's on Team BDS now to see how they adjust and look like the comms might not be on point.
You saw the play where Exotic had full boost.
was going to get that left boost, you're thinking truly Doc's going to take this up the wall.
There was that miscommunication. And plays like that, sometimes that's the margin, that's
the difference in the game to miss out on those opportunities where you could have a
solo play or possession. But now here we go, game five, TVDS and G2 back into it.
It's all tied up. This is a crucial game to win here.
And let's get the touch. Beast Mode straight in.
BDS off the time out. How do they change it up?
Are they going to get more aggressive?
How do you handle Beast Mode?
What he's been so impactful first man,
much of it throws it across.
Beast Mode's over. Dan has to go.
New he had to. Bonds to 50.
Positioning by Daniel to stop that first shot.
Crawley catches it in the air.
Reset. Exotic.
You can see Exotic so close.
Now does pick up the ball hoping for a 50,
but no booster really too much.
He does find some bumps in the end.
He's much more all of BDS than he's so close,
but Tommy's able to just run it down through by himself.
Charlie looking to cut, looking to help out Exotic.
He's done just that.
Give him space, beast motion to ridiculous double.
Charlie's somehow ready for it with 10 boosts,
straight down the other end.
Dan looks to turn it over to Exotic.
Who is it? Double on the side?
It's by Exotic.
How many times has Exotic shut down the backboard?
That time again, on low boosts.
Sonic awkward
He's known you just that does get a pop over to Charlie as well gonna leave it Dan both on zero
Isn't the most promising sign for this G2 attack exotic hundred leaves it
Back hands a strength of atomic over to Charlie now. I'm gonna leave this one. It's not it just turns with zero launches it at Dan
Daniel
On for the middle button trolley driven off the ceiling
The challenge, 50 right back down into the hands of Atomic, he goes up and over one.
Trying to air dribble it, pitch it out to the middle, exotic again there to break up the play.
And he has to ready for that, they might be ready for a counter as well.
Dan, where does he go?
Straight up the backboard, follows it himself, gets to the dunk, Charlie has to back off,
exotic flies another on, and beast mode, controls it backwards, and Atomic dribbles
it down the other end.
What control that was, and that situation lands the bump as well.
A new spawn update of the demo is helping out there for Draleigh.
Able to cut back and help Monkeamoon who is in a world of hurt there.
Tomic speaking of helping finds Beast Mode with a clear downfield.
Now let's get the dunk as well.
Just around the BDS there. Beast Mode in.
50 by Monkeamoon. Damn wants to go.
Let's find the touch. It's open for BDS. No one there for G2 though.
G2 retreating back too far.
BDS thinking they're lucky stars for that monkey move with a catch trying to get around the ball
It's still in G2's corner exotic the flick late now off the arcing down
Atomic zooms in but TVDS retained possession pass across that monkey move there the shot see by B smoke
All of G2 were front post that was so dangerous
Gully with a reset can he go to the ground pence shots get the basketball dribble exotic up as well more pressure here for BDS
Dan just trying to nullify that for now does manage to launch it down that all the bts do with 100
All these games the goals
worth ten times their weight in gold
Daniel
And the demo
Atomic reset early
Monkey Moon clears it off to the side base mode bid on that as well Dan
Just got a cape in it Tommy turns straight away so quick on this one. Does he get afraid of these boys?
And that looks vulnerable. And now on the other end, Beast Mode!
So Nick in there right now. Beast Mode's new with zero.
Lisa for Dan. He's got none either. All he can do is clear it.
In the lap with Drali. Nice to control. Try to go a low 50.
Atomic to the side. Maki Murd pinches.
Wedges that off the wall. Straight in the hands of Beast Mode.
Over to Drali now with space. Dan's trying to get himself in the right position.
The bombs come in. Atomic just there.
Exotic. End up there, but bumped off the play.
Drolley. A little space.
Goes for a 50, but it kicks out.
Well for G2. Still in the TVDS corner.
Daniel with a lovely 50. Fakes out the pass.
Now trying to force it through. It's in the middle of the field,
but TVDS takes over. Now it's a counterattack on the other end.
Oh, this is just counterattack on counterattack.
Dan's going to be able to grab that corner under it as well.
He moves up, great read from him. Beast mode wants in.
Must get on the top of Jiralee. Monkey didn't get the 100.
He's got zero. All he can do is pop it to the side.
Atomic.
Trying to stay in the plate, but bumped off the ball with no boost.
Daniel didn't get the ceiling pinch he was looking for.
Talking out for BDS. They're all low boost.
The reset touch. Over to Dan, tries to get the dunk.
It's still offline.
But Daniel steals the corner.
Such low power, there's the shot!
For in this series.
Team BDS escaped with their life.
That is now one game away from securing their place
in the top four.
No time out for BDS either.
They used that in the previous game.
I don't get that extra 90 seconds to think things over
to discuss.
Now they're strutting against it.
CJ, how many goals this series have been throw the ball up
to beast mode and let him score somehow.
You just gotta let him go to work.
I'm the best, if not the best part of the world,
we're gonna find that out.
The timeout didn't work.
They're on their last second here,
and he keeps the rain up.
Dan, not having to have that MVP performance so far,
it has been beast mode,
it's time it's been so crucial defensively as well.
BDS, they want to stay alive,
after the fourth champ field right now.
Good kickoff for Team BDS. Monkey Moon in your reset uses it early.
Goes for a 50, powers it to a 1-bit.
Daniel there to pop it up.
Beast Mode a 50 down.
You see Atomic and Daniel both jump.
It's going to hurt the boost tankage each hour.
And here, 3-1 going the wrong way as well.
Beast Mode, the confidence is at an all-time high for G2 off that win.
Pass across, space for Dan.
Takes it, uses it over to Atomic.
Two-spacks to Dan.
It's a hard-to-blow trotters right now.
Dan gets the touch back here.
The ball bumps coming through.
Beastmo wants a piece of the action.
He's going to have to wait third for now.
Beastmo now senses his opportunity.
There's the 50.
Atomic retreating back.
The flip was awkward.
And Monkey Moon will put TBS up.
They just committed way too hard.
You could see second now.
Third now wanted a piece of Tomics hitting so high.
Can't afford to do that against BDS.
Perhaps getting a little bit too aggressive.
Perhaps too confident off that previous game
where they've given up the first.
They didn't play a little bit too long, too far on field.
G2, now will have to come back from behind.
TBS, goals have come at a premium in this series, CJ.
They've been, it's been so low scoring that that single goal might be enough for TBS in game six.
Yeah, it's just one low over again.
Peace mode, low boost now.
Can remember 50, and Tommy's right there if you can keep it close.
Let's get a 50 on exotic.
Over to Dan, he just fires one on Ben.
Now he's ready for it.
Sixty first to hear his name.
Oh, he's down the side. Beast mode down.
Hasn't landed off.
Doesn't get the connection that he wanted on that one.
Exotic. Hands it off to Monkey Moon.
Dan, and he's all for Fujitsu.
They're looking a little bit rattled off that first goal.
Early jump probably.
Sets us it out.
Didn't land the bump on Daniel.
Exotic in reverse gets demoed.
Monkey Boon back to it by a lot of time for Team BDS.
Very nice here, got BDS, good offensive set, but Dan's got the ball, he's trying to get the bump as well.
Monkey Boon, quick finds the touch, still has boost to follow up, all BDS, he's so close to each other.
Look at the 50, just an unstoppable force, versus a moveable object there.
Not only getting that 50, but picking up the mid-boost.
Once again, that backboard being covered so well, was the recipe for success in the first couple of games.
Jolly off the ceiling, we'll have one more, blocked out, exotic, second and third.
So close for BDS right now. 50 off the side, straight to Atomic.
Up again, Monkey Moon has to wait for B-Smoot, off the person you want with the ball in his hands.
Hunky Moon downfield, it's his time on the 50,
that could go all the way to the other side.
Beast Mode gets to it in time,
watch with a shot towards that force,
it's the TVDST, missed the jump.
You see Dan wanted to get on the end of it,
just wasn't quick enough that time,
exotic kicks it out.
Tommy kicks it out, exotic with the clear,
does that boost as well,
you see Hunky off the box as well,
very awkward in here for G2, he's scrambling.
But Beast Mode takes the push back ball up field
get the boost. Awkward there for Monkey Boop for a second didn't land the way he wanted.
Exotic with nothing in the tank. Crazy touches from both teams. So much pressure on each
hit. Beast mode just being an absolute nuisance of that first man. Can't get to touch. We'll
be out of land on it. Or perhaps a fake for a Tommy. Beast mode. He's getting isolated
third. He's getting bumped. He's double over the 50. Instantly recognizing that he
He was alone, Beast Moat prepared for that play.
Now Daniel, backboard, exotic, denied it.
And still, it leaks out to the middle.
Atomic will pop it up for Beast Moat,
but Beast Moat leaning back.
Can't do much with it.
Just got caught underneath there.
Atomic can pass it back to Dan, though, looks for the clear.
He's on the top of exotic, straight in the hands of Charlie.
Side ball, too exotic.
Has Markie Moon on the left, if he wants to use it.
Beast Moat still covers it with a pre-jump.
Trying to get involved again.
Dan's been bumped just at Atomic third now.
Atomic.
They actually finished it backwards. Beast Mode had to make the play on no boost.
And now an air touch Beast Mode.
He's going to have to be the last man again.
He's got a hundred, still awkward though.
He is almost over committed. You don't want to do that. Beast Mode has been that third man bump.
That's been huge so far for G2.
Damn nice to fight. Charlie has zero as well.
G2, do they get a last chance here? No.
Pumping Moon with tons of boost.
Trying to get back to it, but Natomic will clear it off to the side.
Another big win, BD challenge from Charlie.
B-Smoad.
Again, hope he stays behind the ball and forcibly.
Once the ball gets no-one there and Tommy now gets evolved.
Dan's so deep, Charlie controlling that midfield.
25 seconds for BDS to force game seven.
Game seven, looking likely.
B-Smoad, double pass, no-one there.
Exotic, the ball.
Tipped aside by Daniel Beast Mode, leaves it for Atomic, but Atomic got demoed!
Danes up straight away, this is the last chance, he's only got 20.
He's got to be BDS, plus a champion.
Paul, wouldn't we love to see a game 7 against these two sides?
G2 don't want that, they're trying to get one more ball down!
Champion inbound!
The final series of the day with the final team from NA.
It's going the distance.
Team BDS representing Europe, a region that has dominated so much of Rocket League's history.
And these 1-0 losses for G2, a frustrated watch for all of VNA supporters back at home.
It's a bit of masterclass in Rocket League.
When BDS do get it right, when they aren't covering every option, when they are nullifying those solo plays.
And you can see the difference in that game, James.
Beast Mode just one shot, the only shot for G2, one shot out.
To hold this offense to a single shot.
Just 118 points as well on the board from Beast Mode who has been the MVP the last few games.
Who has been the catalyst for this team.
Beast Mode has been that standout player.
He does have quite the record against EU 9 and 4.
Not many North American players can claim a record like that.
Diki's a random one last chance for G2 top 4.
If they want to go straight through, here we go.
TVDS, they might have another plan.
There's a buff, Monkey Boon, forcing two to go from G2, but Atomic recovered well.
That's 50 this time, Monkey Boon up straight away to grade 50 at Atomic, launching across.
Now a G2's man, it's gonna be more to sacking you sense of them in the break man, nice beastie from exotic.
G2 has to play a little bit of defense, Beast Mode with a chance flick, man by Jiralee, Dan up to me.
It's been cleared out of the way and Tommy Chlowe as well.
Fuck you, it's a great double off, son of this man!
There's a bump as well and a boost steal.
The attack, chipping up.
Beast Mode trying to get there in time but he gets demoed by Monkey Boon.
And now Jiralee, it's pinched off the backboard on the respawn.
Beast mode underneath the ball, the flip pass already in the air was atomic.
Ridiculous plays right now, everyone sitting so high.
Destruction is ridiculous, there's no third man at all for either team.
Atomic into the corner, wins face, beats around one.
Zodik just works it, monkey man tries to get a quick pass from exotic, it's worked.
The pump doesn't land on Dan, no, Jolly has to back off.
Just scoops up the 100, throws it on Dan, and that was the 1-0!
For sure that was going to be a goal, BDS.
Still on the attack, G2. Still looking worried in the corner, it's time he finds a skip.
It's over to Beast Mode. He's going to be able to double. They shot on. They miss it.
The swing and a miss. Daniel. Hoping to 50 that back up, Atomic.
Lining it up. Atomic treads to that corner, did grab it. Beast Mode bumped off the ball, Drully.
Now trying to get it by Beast Mode, 50 to cross. Atomic.
It's an all-put-touching straight to the end, though.
Just trying to get the 50 on monkey, but it's a great 50 again.
No one's ready for the midfield, no one wants to be there.
It's got to take a huge play.
Goal!
No!
Trolley!
He wants to end this party for G2, takes it up in the air!
Off the ceiling and in!
Trolley doing heavy lifting!
And he silenced the Gizarina with three minutes left.
It's all on G2.
Can they do it? Can they watch the comeback?
That's gonna find a way through exotic
All the chatter has been about exotic for TV DS
This backboard defense immaculate
That's been trolley stepped up now exotics turn the reset
It's over beast money needs to get up first man
No, it wants to be looking downfield this space for Dan to work with he has zero finds the skin much emerges there
There's always someone from BDS there
It's never that easy.
In the backport,
he's both in eyes,
both who's boomed down the field.
TBS have a chance.
He can get it around the Tommi.
He's on it now.
That's a nice bump.
The space, nothing.
New batch up.
Someone's there for BDS,
pop up from down.
B-Snow just throws himself.
Does get connection with it.
And Tommi can turn, he's up zero.
Has to go quick.
You can see B-Snow.
He's playing double flip.
For the BDS right now.
Doesn't get the bump though.
Drowley, masterful dodging that.
Drowley having quite the game at the key time for Team BDS.
Monke Moon was getting bumped, had to go downfield.
Drowley sitting there, atomic with a great catch.
Beast Mode's got to screw up the 100 off the left as well
if they can find a 50 in his lap.
But they've bumped each other.
Beat Mode to Dan. Everyone sitting so tight.
Dan's awkward, has to go back off.
Monke Moon's up, tries to get the fate.
Drowley gets into the demo.
BDS with the following exotic.
Beast Mode pre-jump.
Garatak opportunity, Beast Mode though, shut down early by Drolley.
Atomic has to go get the mid boost, leaves the ball.
Monkey Moon, the 50, down.
It's bouncing Drolley off the ceiling.
We'll be able to get back to it.
Big clear, exotic, ready for it in the middle.
Drops it down, Beast Mode under me.
50 this time by Monkey Moon.
Atomic gonna leave that for Dan.
He wants to pass.
You see how quickly Drolley's ready to challenge.
It's been a master class in the middle so far.
Four BDS, it's a nice fight to Atomic, and it did it!
And they're right back in this one.
What is this? 60 seconds having store? We've got to get overtime.
It'll be simply ridiculous. Here at Tiki's Arena, and Tommy's up.
Which gets one more. Has been one. And Beast Mode quick time.
He's not even up this time. He's got zero. Just has to find a 50.
All of GT sitting in there.
Stung!
It's been so huge. It's defense. 17 seconds.
Are we going to get a winner here? Beast Mode tries to flick to a tommy.
Just in there. He's got it across.
Charlie with the clear and Tommy wants to go in all we can do is pop it up this
beast mode five seconds and Tommy got field is excited, Tim wants down, exotic
points up, peace. And we get on team. Don't return G2 the second. Which way will it go in the third?
Winning you're in top four is as simple as that. Massive stakes on this goal
right now. Massive stakes on this match. Beast mode. He loves in first net
He doesn't get the bump on Exotic.
Tomik right there, leaves it.
Dan Thurne has to track back.
He's got a lot of work to do, because Charlie's up with the shot.
Dan makes the save.
Monkey Moon, pitch pass up to the middle.
Atomic there.
Exotic against Daniel.
Daniel, composed on the back wall.
And grabbing the corner with Charlie.
He broke up, missed the defense.
A little tip, but now the shot comes down.
And OT win.
And they move into the top four, joining K-Core.
Game 7, carried by Drolley and CJ. What happened on the goal line with G2?
Beastmoats double so close to going in on its own. The ball is bouncing for what seemed like an eternity.
I think Dan got faked on the line as well. Did you see the pressure?
when it's at its highest the speed of that game in that game seven was simply
ridiculous BDS its moments that's what game seven that's what
champions all of that who can take their moment G2 could not on that goal line
James the BDS could luckily is a game of interest at Beast mode
Hit that slightly differently it goes in, but Drolley was the one who had the ice in the end
It was a normal game for him. He was
Looking so cool calm and collected and to make that play after going through the
Heartbreak or heart wrenching play earlier where G2 almost scored Drolley. He was phenomenal
It wasn't the fairytale ending to this Saturday, well it's for the crowd and they were up at
about 2.
So we do take one last look at the Mote 1 high before it's replay and it was this moment
right here.
Atomic misses a wide open net.
Dan with the redirect as well and they just could not get it and blast in the crossbar.
You can see the disbelief on all of the faces in the crowd.
Drolley ending the series.
Team BDS breaking the hearts of Dickies Arena.
It's still a lot G2, but I'm gonna do it tomorrow.
BDS is third in the top four. We're gonna need to be with Leif.
Now I know Dickies was a little biased here, but there are some BDS fans.
So make some noise for Monkey Moon.
I mean, I guess off the bat, tell me what it feels like playing in an arena
that is very clearly on the other side.
What does it do for you to play in a arena that is clearly against you?
For me, frankly, it's a habit right now.
It makes me nervous, it puts more pressure on me for the team that I play with, so I know.
the energy between the two coming into this because it's a long day.
So that's why today you had two matches. How did you have to keep the energy between these two series?
Well frankly, we don't have the choice to keep the energy. I personally am really tired.
But hey, we're here for the worst once a year, so we don't have the choice to have the energy.
Well you know it's difficult to keep the energy up. You have to because it's worlds.
but personally I'm really really tired but yeah so you know it's once in a year so you have to keep the energy as high as possible
Well, I'll let you go in a minute here so you can go to bed
But I do want to know if that maybe was what caused G2 or allowed G2 to come back
Was it just the tiredness kicking in?
Is that the reason why G2 could go back to this series? Is it just because of fatigue or is there something else that happened?
No, I think they woke up
They had to wake up, after they had trouble starting, and now we were surprised by the fact that they came back, so after it was a good comeback and we succeeded.
Can you give me thoughts on that match ahead of time and who you think you'll be playing?
I would say fight on pretty easily, yes.
Pretty easily.
Okay, we'll see how the audience thinks about that tomorrow when they play, but thank you so much.
Monkey Moon one more time for BDS on the way out an
Instance classic to close out championship Saturday here to game 7 over time. It was
I'm still thinking about I'm still thinking about the saves in gold as
That man monkey moon is Thanos. I feel like I just got finished watching infinity world
What in the world is going on here news? You can see behind me dickie's arena has cleared out. He's done it again
Again, he's done it again.
He can't keep getting away with this.
Look at Drowley.
Drowley, look at Drowley.
I mean, Drowley's amazing, right?
He's a rookie, and he's just like,
I'm calm, cool, collected.
It does not matter what is going on.
This is not the most important match of my career or anything.
I'm just going to play my game.
But for the G2 fans out there,
there is a lot of sadness.
But they're not out of the bracket.
They're just going to play three times tomorrow.
They're in the top six, and they're just
in the lower part of that bracket now, on one life.
But BDS, it was a battle back and forth.
BDS obviously an early leader. Uh-oh, this is gonna be BDS a 4-1 again, but G2 battled back and in style
Didn't you say that I mean G2 they took advantage of the life that they got with that they earned when yes
I mean spots say it is they can't play much better. I mean the game seven the game
They had BDS on the back line from game two and a two in about two and a half minutes in
2 game 7 BDS was not playing offense G2 a perfect touches perfect execution. It was BDS's composure on defense
When I'll stand in the G2 onslaught the bab they were just so composed. They were composed
They were locked in you heard it from one of the ones out here to nothing face him
It doesn't matter if the crowds cheer a boon. He is locked in and when it came down to it
Oh, I mean first of all, that fake was beautiful, beautiful fake.
But when it came down to it, they had to hit this one.
Like Daniel somehow just completely does it the more than the other side.
Then Daniel touches it again, and it doesn't move.
And then Jirali puts it home and BDS, again, it's a game of inches.
And BDS has, they have one life, they're in top four.
G2 has one life, they're just one round behind them.
They just need one more result and they're right back in it.
This is a coin flip series.
We saw Game 7 overtime.
If they play again, who knows what can happen.
G2 should not be two down on themselves after that match.
The one, and you know, it's been a lot of four one losses
to BDS in the record here.
So going to Game 7 overtime in the stylishest
flash of the way as they did.
Hopefully they can, hopefully they can hang their head high.
And no one, especially that they're still in the bracket.
They've got Furia tomorrow in the semifinals.
And we're spoiled by today.
We got two champions field when we got to the best seven.
It's beautiful.
And the one result that was more one-sided than any is the most was it's probably the biggest upset
Maybe outside of oxygen, but k-corp falcons in five k-corp. So k-corp's back there in the top four and europe
We have two teams in that top four both europe. It's always europe. We thought the french were starting to fall not anymore
They're all up in the top four
There's only six teams left three from europe one from north america one from south america and the middle east
That must have been doing work stopping more than half of these teams out, but that's
I like this though because this is all really this is all a good setup. You got two French teams
You've got one team from you and awesome
That storyline is still alive
Carmen Corp the blue wall looks as tall as ever and then of course for G2 and Falcons
They're both gonna be on the opposite side of the bracket
Things are shaking up to be one heck of a championship Sunday
Listen, it's gonna be something special and even in a Carmine Falcon series
They have multiple close games.
Alkins gave away to leave multiple times.
All these teams left are very, very tight.
Ferri almost got a reverse swept by SSG,
but they played three matches.
They had to come up with two losses.
They'll be refreshed for G2.
And Ferri, they can do the almost unthinkable.
They've never been G2.
They could be in the morrow.
Oh, man, we'll see if they can do it, folks.
Now speaking of people having to try
to reverse sweep things, they're
trying to reverse sweep the predictions.
I'm right up there.
What up there?
Perk's in trouble.
I'm only down by four, Perk.
I was down by about eight this morning.
I was where I was.
I don't think I've ever been on the bottom row.
This is not fair.
Gives you on the bottom row?
This does not feel good at all.
You know what this means?
Everybody just copying you now, Gives.
Everybody just picks the favorites under that.
I mean, it's three.
Are you sure about that?
There's a three-point difference between Leeds
there on the bottom row and James bot in the top.
And Wavey P, remember me?
You were the only one who had Carmen Corp.
Yes, sir.
I mean, they gave us a big boost.
Listen, I'm one point off of you,
and you're one point off of James.
Where are more gloves?
They can shake up.
We're getting there.
I did say that I was predicting weight fun to win. Oh, no. Okay. Well, you're that but what is happening here?
Don't be past me. You do not have the gas. I see a man. I was a little scoring game two for G2
This is the thing beast mode. He's doing me a favor. He's like, I'm gonna give you more games
Against fury. I'll go farm fury for you. That's that's that's that's that and no other reason
But he's gonna have to farm trafino, so
I hope you can get a lot of saves for us.
I can't wait.
Okay, folks.
Well, folks, we have one more day tomorrow.
Championship Sunday.
We will be crowning the Rocket League World Champion
in that final grand final.
We don't know who's going to play in it.
We got four matches to determine it beforehand,
and we are going to kick things off with Oxygen.
The Cinderella story of the tournament,
taking on Falcons of Battle of the Green.
We're going to do the winner of G2 Feria playing right after.
right after the back to back to play first. Okay. See big brain
baits. I noticed that you know, they'll play first because the
winner of that place Carmine in the third match. You want to
be in crowd. You got to get here early. You need your
support. It's a quick turn off to the fans to they're going
back to back here. You got to go home. Get your wrist up
ready to go each week. He's in the morning. They come on
back. They're just like us because we do that every day.
We do every single day for six days straight. It's a
wonderful time at the World Championship here so my goodness we have again those
five matches will be kicking off right early 10 a.m. is when the broadcast goes
live with the pre-touch the pre-touch the first touch pre-show there it is
here's the correct here's the correct schedule we'll start off with g2 versus
period then Falcons versus oxygen and then winners continue on when our g2
period plays karma and winner of Falcon auction plays BDS yes and BDS will get
the back-to-back grand finals match if that does happen because they take over
the one seed from G2 and players generally like to play back-to-back
when it's that late into the tournament.
It's winning when they're taking the momentum.
Exactly.
So folks, that's what's in store for you tomorrow.
The conclusion, the greatest day and the Rocket League year is tomorrow folks.
Championship Sunday awaits for us. We're gonna take a quick one, we're gonna go and get some sleep.
We'll be right back. Crown champion tomorrow. See you guys there. Bye.
The official uniform.
No tunes today?
No, my apartment was robbed last night.
Took my cable-ready TV, DCR, portable cassette player?
Yep, all the latest tech.
If only progressive and renters insurance,
like their home insurance.
Then we could bundle our cars
and get the same 24-7 protection.
I think we disevented that.
This is the best day ever.
Well, I still got robbed.
That's a pretty good day.
This is the opportunity
to dream that you set upon yourself.
Here we go.
So then, whatever you're saving for, get back to work.
