to the Rocket League World Championship Series.
Of course, it wouldn't be a championship Sunday
without more talk and more announcements
going on throughout the day.
We're going to kick things right off here
with news about FIFA E. Let's take a look at the video.
Everyone, it is Hercules.
And we've got a really exciting special piece
of content for y'all.
We've got the official release of the FIFA E World Cup
featuring Rocket League going down.
And if you guys have been living under a rock
and you missed it, 16 countries around the world
have officially been chosen to be competing in this World Cup.
You guys have been all over the internet, scouring ideas,
trying to figure out who potentially could be the rosters
that will be representing these incredible 16 countries.
Welcome to you guys.
We've got James, Gives, and Shogun.
I will be letting you guys choose a country
that you would like to talk about the most.
Maybe you have a team in mind already,
or you want to create one with your fellow mates
here on the chairs.
James, we're going to start with you.
Is there a country you have in mind with you?
There's a few, there's a few.
I think the one that might spark the most debate
would be France.
Do you remember, it's not the sideways one,
it's the vertical, there we go.
I only looked at it.
Because there are so many good French players,
I have two players that for me would be a Locke.
I think to me the Locke is Zen,
and the other is Matira.
Well, okay, so if it was Zen and Matira,
who would be third?
I would pick Seiko, I think Seiko, I think to me, Seiko, he's so calm, everything I've
heard about him, you know, from players I've talked to, he's very nice, and he is just
insanely good.
You can take a team perhesion, and I don't care, okay?
We have one opportunity right here to throw together the figureheads of the biggest
teams in France.
Zed, Vatira, Monkey Moon, we might not get the chance to get it.
You can't just say that the gentlemates are not the biggest team out there.
They haven't got a figurehead. They're all different now, yeah, they don't.
There are three big French players out there.
Yeah, they are Zed, Vatira, and I.
This is like turning around for a second.
We've got an open tournament in this.
By the way, better than a doubt, we don't need to play together.
You might not work.
I think that Seiko is Monkey Moon.
He is the face of VDS.
But to me, Seiko is so humble.
15 other countries that we can all fight over
gives the board of yours.
So France is very long.
I'm going to make this one a little bit shorter.
And we're going to go with an easy one, and obviously my
favorite, USA.
We have to go USA.
Rock!
Obviously.
To the USA.
There's one answer.
There's one answer for USA.
And that is that G2 roster, currently number one in the
world.
We'll see how they do here.
Pretty good.
They're all Americans.
That is the roster.
And their fourth player that they bring out as a hot hand
very easily would be First Killer.
You bring him out just in case one of the other players
is a little bit cold.
First Killer would be your pick?
So First Killer would be a suck on that one.
I actually disagree with this.
OK.
You're joking.
So you don't pick G2.
So, no, I like the G2 pick.
OK.
But you don't bring it.
I just wouldn't bring in First Killer.
I would go LJ.
I think LJ, honestly, because First Killer,
He is good. He's amazing. I said, you know before that I think people are underrating and forgetting how good he can be
But there's I also think that when you're going to the international competitions like this those previous results can matter
And I think first killer might have a mental block of the of the you know coming close, but not wanting it off
Where is LJ? I feel like that's not gonna affect you. Yeah
Yes
You put him with G2 and that to me is the unpredictable boost factor that they could have.
The reason why I like that pick is because none of the players on G2 will have to worry
about not playing because they're not going to play LJ over the G2 players.
You're an American and the first ever All-American team wins a major over the best.
You just have to go there.
Alright Shogun, who are you going to pick?
We have had a bunch of teams that we can have to find an amalgamation of on this one.
I am however going to go for the place that it's all coming home to.
Give me that right now.
I was so nervous I was about to pull the entire thing off.
You almost did.
That is all good right there.
It is coming home.
It is England.
And the only issue I've got on this is whilst you guys have got teams, you know,
the French teams have all stuck together.
The Americans have all stuck together.
The English players have gone everywhere so far.
We have sent a whole bunch off to NA.
We've got players like Bryce that have pretty much joined
Francophones over there, you know, playing with the French
and the Moroccans.
So it's very difficult to find a good team that you know
is going to gel straight from the off over here.
So I'm not going to worry about confusion.
I'm just finding star players.
Yeah, I mean, and Shogun, maybe you
can provide further insight due to the fact
that you're from the United Kingdom of England
or whatever.
You were doing so well.
Anyway, I want to know shogun shogun's four-man roster. I saw my roster. What is shogun's four-man roster?
All right, I'll go rise joyo with app Jack has the starting lineup
And then you know what we're gonna look towards like the upcomers on this one. So obviously nolly
All right, well, in that case, let's get the speed.
I haven't seen that one.
Speed's perfect.
Speed's perfect.
Wait, you can take speed in?
I'll take speed in.
Honestly?
No, but I'm from the arts, so I'll take speed.
Obviously, there's going to be meaning
in representing your country.
We've seen, you know, like James and everyone
has been so stoked about, you know,
the U.S. having the first full American roster
and we've heard a little bit about what it's meant to them,
to them, but some of these other countries obviously it's a little bit different because it's very rare
that you have the opportunity to feel the full roster from those places. What do you think that it
could actually mean to some of them? I think the players will understand the gravity of that,
of representing your nation. For Rocket League, we've been waiting for something like this.
Everyone has always said, what if we had a World Cup? What if, you know, we had these
As nations competing against each other, instead of just the teams, people have been wanting
this and waiting for it.
And so I think that is going to add even more to the pressure on these players, knowing that
we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this opportunity to compete as nations
in a World Cup.
And that stage is finally here.
Guys, we've got some hypothetical rosters that we've all come up with.
It's been great conversations.
Obviously, there are many more countries to be discussed,
but reminder to those of you watching at home or at land,
wherever you are in the world,
these are our guesses, our opinions.
We know you have yours, and keep them coming.
For now, though, you guys can head on over to FIFA.GG
for more information.
Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me.
James Gibbs, Shogun.
You guys, thank you so much for watching,
and we will see you next time.
You guys excited for the FIFA World Cup?
I like that, I like that.
You know what I'm excited for?
I'm excited for this first touch.
Appreciate it, we got a couple good guests here.
We got Rattles, make some noise for Rattles.
I appreciate that boys.
And of course we got my man Arsenal here.
Let's make some noise for Arsenal.
How we doing, how we doing today?
I'm feeling good, you know.
It's a good day to watch NA win, yeah?
You like this energy Arsenal?
I love North America.
Make some noise for NA man, come on.
And of course, we cannot forget undefeated world champions here on the first touch.
That's debase and we're all this.
Can we make some noise for first touch undefeated world champions?
Where'd that come from?
Yeah, I don't think that's accurate.
Not accurate.
I'm undefeated show match champion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Show match champion, I'm a world champion.
All right.
Oh, you're a world champion.
That's right.
When did that happen?
That happened yesterday.
Oh, is everybody thought it was champ three?
And what happened?
I scored on this.
So it was amazing.
That was a good performance for you, Dads.
I was impressed.
Thank you.
Not with him.
With him?
Yes.
I'm not gonna lie Tyler I expected more. I love it more. I mean I definitely could play better
I mean only average about 500 definitely have both six people out there
You saw Johnny we're gonna average 900 on his head. I know but what they took away my game number three
They know three thousand. Yeah, you would drop like a thousand
Just need a little bit more safe
They won't put on any shots though so it kind of makes sense kind of this is the points where that much
But let's talk about the world championship where we are right now. You can take a look at the contenders graphic
We don't have that many teams left one team from Sam of course Falcon still repping Mena
G2 in a's last hope and three teams from your BDS Karmicorp and oxygen retals talk to me about how this tournament has shaped up from your perspective
It's a weird one because you know most tournaments going to the final day
You have a team or two or maybe even three that you're like, okay
These guys look kind of ahead above everyone else right now that heavy favors coming in G2 Falcons
both don't look amazing and while Carmine missing the second major look awesome. So it's going to be an interesting day for the same way. Yeah. I'm very surprised by Carmine Corp. Of course they had a slow start. But I feel like you seriously getting better and better. And that's very scary for the team to have to play against. I'm also very surprised about Falcons. I think they're not playing as does they have in the past. So I'm a little worried about them. Yeah. Especially. I can see that if you take a look here at our playoff bracket. I know it looks a little different if you're new to the format. This we came down from there. So I'm going to take a look at that. So I'm going to take a look at that. So I'm going to take a look at that. So I'm going to take a look at that. So I'm going to take a look at that. So I'm going to take a look at that. So I'm going to take a look
the Swiss stage played those high-breaker matches.
And of course we have the new hybrid bracket.
So again, if you won 3-0 in Swiss,
you went into the up-around matches,
played in those qualification finals.
You can see where G2 played BDS
and where Karmic Corp played Falcons.
And then just if you follow the lines,
you can see again where those finals ended up shaking out.
We played those matches yesterday.
So then that's why the bracket does
what the way it is, a different format here
for the world champion.
So championship, I'm sorry.
So a little bit of a twist, but I think it's a welcome one, right, Bates?
Yeah, it's the first time the whole entire weekend.
I've been able to read the bracket properly.
Now it actually makes sense.
The winner of the G2 Strive Period game, as you can see,
the line clearly brings you to play the Carming Corp.
That's beautiful.
Winner of Falcons, Oshun, they're going to play Team BDS.
All these are best of seven.
Single elimination, the rest of the way.
Even the teams in the prelim, you earned skipping a game,
skipping a match, and now you have to wait.
Single elimination, though.
Everybody's life is on the line.
All six teams are left though right now.
They could win a World Championship today.
They could, they could.
And you know, we're kind of,
we're here again at Championship Sunday
and we're here with one and a team left.
That's a big talking point of pin.
No OG, no SSG and no Gen G here.
Royals, I gotta go to you.
What do you think needs to change here in North America?
I think Space Station had a great season.
We gotta give it up for Space Station a little bit.
When they were counted as, you know,
behind Gen G, behind G2.
And they showed to be the second best in North America.
So it is props to Space Station,
but that also comes at the demise of Gen G, which
I know isn't the easiest topic for you to talk about.
But it's tough.
I'll pass it over, because it's just not a topic that I
don't like it.
I hate talking about this Gen G team,
because it could be so much better.
That's fair.
That's fair.
So what about you?
Awesome.
I'm going to be honest.
Any rank is just bun-buns, bro.
like the EU players is being here and competing against them.
You see how much more they wanted even in just ranked
by daycare and they were kind of playing to have fun,
what they talk about the energy have fun.
Mena, that's what we're doing, bro.
So I think and they need to really have a wake up call
and start trying to rank.
Mijima, do you agree?
I don't know, I'll play right.
I mean, I thought the long time ago,
I was watching Tyler play a lot of ranked in GC3 this week.
So don't.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
like that man. First off how are you watching me play? This one. This week. I got a spy on you bro.
That was a SSL bro. Yeah bro. Yeah bro. And the only play. Not SSL bro. Not this week.
Yeah that's why he was capping. He meant like three weeks ago bro. He was just capping on the
mic bro. You gotta fact check this man some time bro. That's what I mean.
Yeah, if I say N.A. in general, bro, I think, like I said, S.S.G. played really well.
They probably could have beat Ferry.
I think Ferry was on their last breath last night.
And then when S.S.G. had them on the ropes right there in game seven, I think, honestly,
you're going to see it.
They really should have kept the game simple.
Chicago had a great move, I think, that would probably would have worked, but Raphino
just had a great play as well.
Cut it off and Emile scored.
And that's got the goals that Ferry needed because they were real and they were about
of the year versus web two times in a row in a best of seven this time this time
even worse than the reverse versus we've been a best of five so SSG it
played really great I think they had an excellent season and honestly I think
they've been for the better than their expectations going into the season what
you think about that for 100% 100% the space station team you know even as a
competitor I knew they're gonna be good but I didn't expect you know a top
two team in NA Chicago in particular had an unreal land I think yeah he
They play really well.
I haven't seen a re-curry play that well in a long time.
That's a re-curry.
My god, them touches.
They're looking pretty pristine and safe.
Yeah, I was just like, that guy.
That was me.
This is it right here, because SSG scored early.
They're up 1-0.
Ferri had a score, and over three games at this point.
And right here, Chicago had a good move,
but Drafino just cut it off.
And that's the type of goal that Ferri needed,
because it didn't really look like they could create
and generate offense in that time right now.
Because they're kind of really, even when they won,
look again, he still saw a process.
He played two matches prior to that.
This went to a best of seven all the way.
The fans are hyped, but I mean,
SSG great season though for me.
Yeah, definitely great season for SSG.
Of course, Furia is still in the tournament at this point
and I'm starting to know it's kind of a pattern
when they get to these close out games,
they are having a hard time closing them out.
This is not the first time this has happened
and happened earlier on, I believe either
not in the Swiss, no, in the Swiss
and into that playoff stage.
So for me, I keep an eyes on Furia.
Of course they're gonna be playing G2 first match of the day.
They're gonna have the crowd against them.
It's gonna be really hard for them to have that momentum.
So we'll have to see what things are going on there
in terms of Furia later on today.
But yeah, SSG definitely, I loved what I saw out of them.
Of course, I spoke to Hoxer, you know,
he had the tweet where, you know, he's a little sad.
Then I, you know, I was like, good.
He was like, yeah, I was just sad at the time, you know.
It happens.
You lose on stage and then you gotta pick it back up, bro.
Yeah, that's, I mean, that's just Hoxer.
Like he, I think he's really hard on himself,
But I thought into the day it's a team game,
and all three players really have to be clicking
at this event to be able to perform at a high level.
So I wouldn't take it too harshly on yourself.
You made it this far.
I think you'd be a lot of expectations
that people had on you, and you outperformed.
But I know every player wants to win this event.
Every player does.
It's really hard.
But now, let's address the elephant in the room.
What happened to G2 last night?
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
That's a question you need to answer, though.
because you the G2 fanatic, the G2 fanboy.
What happened?
Well, what happened was BDS,
he played the greatest series of the lives,
he looked absolutely amazing,
and Monkey Moon, he just really loved playing it
for all y'all for some reason.
He sees the Americans in the crowd,
he says, I'm just gonna be in the way of the school time.
The moral of the story,
and it's been G2's problem the entire season.
They cannot shoot the ball,
and it's kind of poetic.
Dan's seven over time.
I love my boy.
Me and Archville picked him up when he was 14 years old.
You have to score that.
If it's a shot you have to score a follow-up as well atomic now with a with an amazing rebound
They have not shot the ball all the season and it's thinking about the thing keeping them away from the top
Look what they can do there one of the best mechanical teams in the world when it comes to dodging into a ball on the ground
They can't do it
Look at the crowd and this felt like when they into the field into the stadium
It felt like the arena and energy shifted it felt like the final boss had arrived
But brilliant maybe it was monkey move a monkey with the final boss the most the most is in the way
and you got to somehow get around the game seven games that here we go Daniel
be able to fake that was a great right there over there and then right here
what happened no it's not a goal it's not a goal isn't the moon man again it's
movement back oh no it's drawling oh gosh I know they're warning I need a
warning that's too graphic for my eyes yeah the rating the rating of the game
went up from either one to him ever matured right there maybe I don't know I
don't actually do that but I did it actually it felt like that it felt like
to do my gosh here comes the pain no no no we have to see there's no more
production messing around Johnny boys got control remote right now Johnny boys
controlling from the back that sounds like that sounds like a G2 gonna come
back with some strength and some porosity today. What are we expecting G2 today Slater?
Fortunately, I'm expecting a G2 win. I'm ready for USA, here in Fort Worth, I'm with G2 all
day today. Let's do it. I think now that G2 has taken that loss, ain't no more losses
coming. G2 on top baby, let's go! Come on dad, I mean you already know where I'm
going so you don't have to worry about me. Ro, I know you know, you're like other
teams though I might need security to help me out of here because I'm gonna go
Carmine Corp they look like the best. I hope G2 been hitting them shooting bags
after you got them on them shooting bags because they gonna need it that
Carmine corp team is looking a little dangerous.
Alright bro I'm not gonna lie to you, are we know what they are?
What'd you say?
No, no, no, no, no, no, speak your mind bro, you put the mic.
This man can't talk no more man, what did you say?
Do you want to repeat it?
Oh no, yeah Carmine Corp looks great but G2 just look, they're gonna look so much better bro.
I mean, the base doesn't mean
he's talking about Carmichael, Carmichael.
I believe they play, who they play yesterday?
Oh, they play the Falcons.
They play the Falcons.
They get the highlights of right there.
Tell me why you think Carmichael
is going to be so great today.
Well, I think Atal is the best player in the world.
He's the best player at this event right now.
He needs this offense.
Without Atal playing to the level that he's playing,
I don't think they make it as far as they're making it.
You got Vatero, who's actually stepping up defensively.
And then Ryze bumping.
Ryze is slotting it top left top right.
He used to place it anywhere in the net as soon as the tie clears up the net for him.
It's in the back of the net, bro.
I think this team is in sync with the art that they wanted.
They wanted so bad.
They missed out on the last major and they're really feeling it.
So they're coming to World Championship.
They're going to take it this time.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm going to be honest, man.
Like, Atal, he's feeling it.
Like, mechanically, he's creating really well and Ryze is a shooter, bro.
Like, in my opinion, he is the new age JNF.
So if you help this up and the towel keeps up that challenge game, they're going to look dangerous.
I agree with him. Even in this year's act, predict the tournament to win.
I know Palfus was the popular kick, but the blue wall was a full and strong.
Great shoot out of them, great pacing, and the composure or stage was phenomenal out of them.
So I'm really expecting a deep run.
That was gross.
What's your next letter?
Yeah, Tau has had a crazy land.
I'm a backup rollers here.
This is the best I've seen him play in a long time.
Offensively, he does look like, you know,
go back to last season's or last World Championship LJ.
Luke, definitely offensive, that's good for me.
The point, talk about the focus, the focus, man.
I mean, when it gets casey here,
if I had focus when the series,
I mean, focus lost 4-1,
they end up giving a couple of leads,
they went about 2-0, or at least up to about two goals,
multiple times in that set.
And they ended up losing multiple games like that.
They lost a league multiple times.
Let's have a focus right now.
I don't know.
They look lifeless.
They look unimpressive.
And I know it's hard to say that about a team that's
made top six.
But compare it to how they've looked, you know,
EWC major two, major one, where they're
looking like the most talented team in the world.
And it's just, it's not enough right now.
It's just, I like it.
The WALF, I think, is playing really well.
I think he is, you know, the consistent performer
on that team.
But I need more from Kaleers, especially.
Yeah, man.
I mean, in my opinion, I think
this could truly be a blessing in disguise
for the Falcon's team.
As you guys seen from the past lands,
normally they kind of run through,
they kind of steamroll everybody.
Then they get to the finals
and they just drop their controllers like mid series.
And I think them losing here,
if they could bounce back this next series,
I wouldn't be surprised if they took this land,
to be honest.
Is it on my head?
Hey, how you doing, brother?
Hey, hey, hey.
That's what he said.
That's what he said.
No, bro.
That's versus the Fog.
Don't worry about the Fog.
That's what I just said.
That's what I just said.
Fog is looking okay.
I don't like how he's team AC.
I know, Falcons looking okay right now.
Gusty Falcons bounce back, guess who they play?
Don't they play Oxygen?
They play Oxygen.
They do.
Oxygen's on a hot streak right now.
Hot streak right now.
Why don't you ask the crowd who they rooting for?
All right.
If you think Oxygen's gonna win versus Falcons,
make some noise.
That's pretty loud.
We gonna try the other way.
If you think Falcons are gonna win, make some noise.
I think they got some joyo fans.
I think that's why.
I think Oxygen's on a hot streak right now.
And honestly, looking at current form,
It's hard not to pick oxygen as the moment.
They're all at the same stake.
And Archie is playing the best ball he's ever played in his life.
Maybe he just stick to playing zero hours or past two months
and they just get a just get invited and just lock in.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
I walked past Archie earlier and he told me he's on like 85 hours.
So he actually might be trying.
That's why that's why he's playing all day.
Yeah, he's playing all day hours.
He's looking very scared right now.
85 pass.
COVID, COVID Archie, top blow.
Oh, yeah, top blow, Archie.
He's looking good.
He's got to get really good.
I mean that's when I thought Archie was going to be next up.
He's going to be one of the best and I mean he is one of the best and this tournament
He's actually proving it that he is still here
He's still here to play when he has them hours up
But he definitely needs to keep them hours consistent. He definitely does so we'll end up seeing that match of course today
This is championship Sunday, but you know, let's let's talk about it
Who do we expect to be the world champion by the end of today?
See the bracket
G2 they start off they start us off first they're gonna play theory a winner of that plays the blue wall economy
Corp for a spot at the grand finals on the other side of the bracket
We talked about oxygen falcons where that plays team BDS again for a spot at the grand final
This bracket is diverse. This bracket is stacked
So this is a tough call
Who do we have one of the world championship? Of course, we already know what base has it's in a prediction contest
We know he's going G2.
Let's start with Raul here.
Stick with Carmine.
I'm going to stick with Carmine,
but look, G2 has to play against Carmine.
So if they take him out, it's all respected G2.
I think they take it from there.
But I got Carmine.
I'm going to be honest.
I think that G2 need a wake up call.
And do you all see Fyria beating G2?
Not at all, right?
Not at all, right?
So they going to get that warm up, take down Fyria.
Who they going to take down next?
They play Carmine, Carmine,
Boom back to back and then he's going win it all. That's how I see it. You're going g2 for sure
They did it in London. They're doing it again. Give me g2
You picked Falcons at the game event. Are you sticking with them? I've been with Falcons for a while
I will say out of the two heavy favorites coming in both them and g2. They both went through on the Swiss
G2's
Quarterfinal loss or qualification final loss against BDS gives me a lot more hope than Falcons did
Okay, and I do think that warm-up series for G to the furia is gonna be you know too much for Carmina handle
I'm gonna say would you too?
Thank you, Zarina. Do we believe that team BDS are gonna go and become champions again?
We believe that the blue wall
Believe that do we believe that the blue walls gonna stand tall become world champions
No, no, no, we don't do that. I like that. You know who we do we blew it
Who we do believe in though talk to me talk to me talk to me
You believe it Daniel. Oh
Well, who else we love it atomic. Okay? Okay?
Even the North American MVP of Beast mode. Okay. Don't forget it. We believe in G2 G2 is going all the way
I'm out with no victories this time around. Okay iron man. They can't be slow standing this way
He's gonna snap his fingers. He's gonna say I am he's mo
I have team Falcons right after that playing Oxygen.
Again, the winner between G2 Furion will play
the Cormie Court in the preliminary final
to see who will get their spot in the Grand Finals.
The winner between Falcons and Oxygen
will take on Team BDS for their spot at the Grand Final.
Today, we will crown a world champion.
Loretta, are you ready?
I know what to do.
This is going to be it for us here
on the first touch pre-show.
When I say one, two, you say two to Lou.
One, two, two and up.
It has led us to this point.
The final day, we're rewriting the final chapter
of the 2024 season.
We're going to learn a lot about the six remaining teams
on that stage today and at the end of it all,
we're going to crown a new world champion.
Welcome to Championship Sunday.
from Fort Worth Texas and we've got about 20 minutes until we kick off the first match of the day.
Five matches between us and crowning a world champion. I'm Wade Punk. I got something I got.
Gives you got James James. We're crowning another one. Yes. Yes, we are. And there's one player out
there that might be able to become a two-time world champion in this modern era of Rocket League
Monkey Moon. So, you know, the storylines are out there. It's going to be a fun day.
And a two-time champion in the same field as well. Let's never have a race.
Yeah, it's gonna be exciting to see though if G2 they can be that North American team the sole
Representsive coming from here. It was clearly on our first touch pre-show by the way very unbiased
We love that
See if they can actually work through get past their demons sending these grand finals and take it home in front of a home
Crack, we will see G2 play the beginning of today
We are 18 minutes and 54 53 seconds until G2 is on the stage taking on furious
So if you're in the building, you can hear my sound of my voice.
Get your button.
Get in here.
Watch these teams play here.
One from North America, one from South America,
one from the Middle East, and three from Europe.
While we thought Europe was going to,
we do this every time.
We always think Europe's going to finally fall,
and then there's still somehow the lion's share
that the team's on championship.
Yep.
And the two French teams, well,
they're in the top four right now,
waiting their opponents.
We've got six teams, five matches, one champion,
G2 stride versus FURIA.
That'll go at first cross down.
but playing for a lot of prize money as well.
Again, 300K for first place.
That's not a bad weekend.
Not bad at all.
Yeah, it's gonna be exciting to see who's been taking home,
not just to go through the entire bracket,
not just take home that prize pool,
but also at the end of things, James,
we see them lift that trophy,
and they get the prestige going to this offseason,
knowing that they are number one in the world.
Oh yeah, and this is what players play for.
You know, that world's title,
if you only get one, it's enough.
So this is the biggest day, maybe for some of these players
of their lives up to this point,
and maybe from here on out in terms of competitive rocket league.
This is the most confident I've ever been gives,
that we're going to be crowning a new world champion.
Obviously, BDS has done it before,
and we're talking about Monkey Moon,
but that is one player and one team out
of a deep, deadly field of roster.
Yeah, we saw it.
Vitality didn't even make it into the bracket.
That sounds good.
All these teams aren't here today.
So any of these teams could definitely win it.
We've seen some positives from every single one of them,
even like the Oxygen's like, no,
they're taking down very, very good teams.
They could easily make a run or a Furia
who had to battle throughout this tournament,
but on the last day with their aura up there,
like they could easily win this.
You got Sam, Mina, North America,
all the MVPs from those regions still in this race.
But you know, it just, it's crazy
because BDS could play spoiler here.
If one of those other teams win it,
it would be insane.
But if BDS win it,
They're putting a damper on the party.
It would be incredible, but you have to respect their ability
to make it happen again and just becoming
the legendary team.
BDS is putting another excellent chapter
into their wonderful book here.
Let's talk about the great gameplay we've had,
though, so far, guys, because it has been two amazing days
of rock league in this arena, including these top five plays
that we had yesterday.
Excited to see what your picture gives.
Here we go.
Top five plays were going first.
Let's check it out.
I believe this is a draw.
Oh, no.
Here we go.
It's just a bump laid by Jorley.
So this is a nice, easy play for them to just get started.
Don't do anything too special.
It's why it's number five, Jess Pressure.
You get a demo, you push Beast Mode off, and he gets the goal.
Move it on.
We're going to get into some Champions Field action, which
is what we always love to see.
We got lost with the brilliant fake here, the mind game
of Hoxer to go low, to not just go for a normal shot.
Hoxer hadn't read the whole way,
except for just the wheel touch.
The tiny wheel touch by loss, a clutch goal in game seven.
Moving on to more clutch Falcons.
Zero on the clock.
It's not showing on the scoreboard,
but look at this pass and play.
Look at that shot on two defenders as well.
Tier K, we talk about it.
One it's the proud days.
He gets involved and he did so there.
And then we got Atto.
We got a game five.
Aquedome showing up and we got a brilliant late game pass
here by Atto for the goal.
Two rise.
Fantastic play by them to tie the game late.
I think there's 20 on the clock.
Atto, one of the MVP so far throughout this tournament
showing up there. And finally, the play of the day. This play was insane. Again,
Aquadome, we're gonna watch Archie. Oh, man. He gets bumped, hand breaks and still
gets the pass out to Joyo. The pixel perfect pass. How do you even do that?
It is beautiful, Joyo. Great shot. But you know what? Joyo still has work to do
that. He gets the shot in the middle, gets it through, hands it off, but it's
still like Joyo. You still need to get this top corner. He does it. I was
casting that. I lost my mind. I didn't say like a word for 10 seconds.
I was just shouting nonsense like the play from Archer when we see him come on land and actually perform like this
He is extraordinary an incredible incredible moment from those places, and then we didn't even see I
Filled those weren't even like the top five moments
I remember from yesterday many of which weren't like necessarily like exceptional moments from a single player that make us a top five
But the goal line defensive stands that we saw from you to sort of like not top five plays
Oh, yeah, there was just some crazy moments that the space station winning overtime to get him to game 7 trying to reverse week period doesn't work out in game 7
But oh my goodness the pop-offs were crazy. Oh, the gameplay was entertaining. I think I saw somebody post
On the internet, you know neutral rock league fans ate good. Oh, yes, it was so fun
It was incredible stuff. Well folks, it wouldn't be championship Sunday if we didn't have an announcement or two. Let's take a look at this
That's right registration is open right now. It's start dot gg slash crl fall 24
And you know did we just love having more ways for people to compete? Oh, yeah, and I just love Collegiate Rockland
I mean, you know, I coached my high school eSports team.
I was inspired by stacks to get involved.
And those kids, you know, through that,
I got to experience what collegiate eSports is all about.
They admire these college programs.
And then just the atmosphere at these universities,
it's amazing.
I love seeing the love of eSports
in the collegiate environment.
It's amazing.
And not only that, but it will make players go to school
and get some knowledge there.
Obviously, get some tuition money.
It's always great to see.
And maybe just pay for a college that they couldn't go to before.
So they get to do that through Rock League is awesome.
$50,000 in Scholastic Awards for grabs in this new format here folks.
It's going to be the Eastern Western conferences are combined to compete
there for that prize pool and again, like open to all colleges.
So last time I was here in Fort Worth, I got to actually meet players
from the TCU Esports School.
They have a Rocket League team there.
It wasn't a thing that existed when I was there,
but because Rock League didn't exist.
No, I was super cool.
I literally, they watched with me where the trees is.
I want to talk to you guys.
That's a little bit of a waste of time over here.
Such a cool experience to see the call it the way that eSports
is starting to rally around collegiate the collegiate environment
and then seeing those things combined, seeing it the way that,
you know, sports and colleges have gone together for so long.
So wonderful stuff there.
Sign up if you are in college right now and want to compete in CRL this season folks.
So we've got a lot of things going on here today to about 11 minutes
before we get to the games
And we have MVPs to give out at the end of the show.
We will be crowning a World's MVP as well as an offensive MVP.
Defensive MVP.
Let's talk through some of these MVP situations here, Gibson.
Yeah, we could talk about the MVP race overall as well.
So we'll see the Ally MVP nominee so far.
And this could change.
It doesn't have to be one of these five players.
But these guys have had a fantastic tournament.
That's tough.
I want to start with Roos, because he is my guy here.
Roas has been fantastic leading in goals per game and assists per game right now on the offensive side and he's known for his defense
I mean, I'd also like to point out Archie on oxygen
We said it like what 50 times now
They're not going to be here and he's not got him so up there passes to teammates past oski and past joyo on this list
I think this is a very very tough list to pick from guys. It's certainly stacked but Roas team Falcons
They're the team I picked to win it all but really anyone on this list. They're all worthy of it
But it's gonna come down to how they played today, but Roas we know that he's got what it takes
And we always talk about his defense
He's one of the best players on defense but again leading goals and assists as well so Roas like
Every single time I see Falcon score he's involved. He's just involved in everything a lot of it was
The twin synergy throughout Swiss out here. He's gonna ball as well
the ball, but Ross just been
fed has the fault. Yeah, I think
when we look as well over
towards G2, we obviously have
Daniel one of the home crowd
favorites. Normally would normally
look at beats mode to be that
big pop up player on G2, but
this tour that it has absolutely
been down the man. He has been
not just offensively great, but
defensively. I feel like he has
been putting up that brick wall
book receiving him online, but
not always translating to the
offline play and one small
mistake in the game seven,
but they're still alive in
it off today and right in all those rounds from yesterday. Next up exotic the player from TVDS
who has been putting on the performance of a lifetime even through the swiss stage exotic has
been stunning us it it wasn't just a yesterday thing it's been an all world championship
long performance for me. Can I just point out by the way that behind the scenes,
teammates we had an argument with him because he was saying that exotic is about as good
as Garrett G at the moment. And that is the biggest underselling of one of the greatest players very clearly in our Mbps, but Archie here for oxygen. I've been blown away by him. You normally look at him and think, okay, when he properly grinds the game, when he really plays, that's when he is one of the top players.
because I was he told the truth though and then we asked him how many hours he had
he held up. Yeah, but if he's going like 50 or less, I'm still 50 more than you think.
That's right, but one thing that we do know for certain is that Archie has been
on fire. Archie not only offensively like we've seen on a lot of those
clubs but defensively as well. And then we got that, and we talk about overtime
winners set the land record with six overtime winners throughout this
tournament and he still has a lot to play for today. He could raise that
record even further been so incredibly clutch for K-Corp. We always talk about
rise of the tier but Ato is really stepped up throughout this format. And Ato
against Furia he scored every single goal for K-Corp in that win. It cannot be
understated how insane he has been for K-Corp. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of
pressure on him too being that new player and then coming called falling
off for our first major now that actually back he's getting really
involved with that team. Ato is another great shout. Those are your
nominees for the Ally MVP that will be the tournament MVP
crowned after we hoist the trophy.
But we also have some accolades presented by Progressive.
These are for the best offensive player of the year,
defensive player of the year, and savior of the year.
Assist with the playmaker of the year as well.
This is just based off of goals per game, assist per game,
and save for game across all lands, all the players.
Yes, all three lands.
So Killers is leading the way.
Like, Xylic was catching him, but in that G2 series
did not score a goal.
So he did fall a little bit short there, but the twins leaving them both offensive
I find it crazy by the way that somehow across all lands
Killers has got nearly one goal per game
It's why everything that he's competed Johnny when they played yesterday had one goal per game in that and he was so happy
It's the twin energy, but look at the player who's on both of those lists in the race at so yeah
He's looking great again over time winners that you count double
I think he sure have a couple extra points there, but he's looking fantastic
They're looking great. So those awards presented by progressives will be given out also after the conclusion of today's tournament.
The players are getting ready. We are moments away from getting them out on the stage.
So to set the stage, to get everybody kind of acclimated to what you can expect.
If you're just now tuning in, you've picked an amazing time to start watching the tournament.
We have five matches left. The fifth one will be that World Championship Grand Final.
We're going to play through these semi-finals here in the middle. These are elimination matches.
All matches from this point on are going to be an elimination match.
Those semi-finals will put teams through to the preliminary finals.
The preliminary finals will put teams through to the grand finals,
where we will crown the champion.
Lots of finals, but this is what we call that.
It's the final day of competition.
This is what you want if you're one of these teams.
It doesn't matter where you are in that bracket.
They all know there are at least three wins away from a world championship title.
I think as well, things you have, you know, our first team up is going to be G2.
I think the crown is going to start pouring in very, very shortly.
I'm excited to see how many of these seats get filled up on Champ Sunday,
the home side stunning. Well it is time to kick off Championship Sunday.
It's time for our first match of the day. Introducing first on the blue side.
Representing North America.
Perk is team the only team left for North America but G2 was built for this moment.
They built this team to play on the last day of competition to have a chance
to win that World Championship and honestly, yes, they lost to BDS in 7, but that was the
best G2 I've seen all tournament.
There's a huge amount of pressure on them, as I say, gives the only North American team
still here, but the quality that they've been putting up so far for one moment is
out of this world.
They look like they are world champions already.
And they know what it takes to win on the big stage.
We saw them win it all in London, confidence in themselves, and they've got that ability
as well.
They've made every single grand finals throughout this RLCS year.
Consistency is the most important aspect of G2,
but they need to win two more to make that grand finals.
And their opponents on the other side.
Introducing their opponents on the orange side.
Representing South America.
And A's worst neckman.
Who has been stepping up, getting the job done for period.
We can only put five on that LAMBP graphic, but Lost would have been on there if I had a choice.
He's been looking great. He's had some small mistakes here and there throughout the tournament, but offensively, he's been the catalyst for Fury.
But Fury, they played seven matches in this world championship. They have the experience. G2 has only played four, so Fury should be comfortable with that.
And the biggest custom mark is, yeah, Lost is great, but Kandrophenio and Yan step up to his level.
They ended up getting reverse swept by BDS.
They suffered against SSG at 1 to 7.
They lost their call, but they regained it.
And you talk about call, and you see Jan.
He has been putting up a few numbers,
but not got to that level that we'd normally expect.
This is now due or die.
And you can't underestimate or discount
how difficult that bounce back would have been.
Furio, losing to K-Corp, losing to Team BDS.
They were reverse swept.
And then almost getting reverse swept by Space Station,
They had to overcome that doubt, and they were able to do it.
They were on this stage.
The furthest South America has ever
made it at a world championship was this Furia squad.
Yan was on that squad on this stage of Vicki's Arena.
They have to win this match to get as far as they
were in that tournament.
They are still trying to make it past the top.
And we talked about Yan were waiting for that crowd.
Pop off moment that he loves to do.
I'm sure he'll get it.
He has to here, right?
Because if not, G2 will smother Furia.
But Atomic, he stands in the way of Furia.
Atomic is 5-0 against Sam.
He is South America's Kryptonite, and three of those victories by Atomic came against him.
Now, I'd like to say, though, this so far has been the land where we break records,
where streets are destroyed, where news things emerge.
That record may well continue, or it can be shattered here by Furia,
that by the way, every single time, free series,
they get in a huddle, they talk, they get into their mindset,
and if ever really pays attention, you'll hear them shout furia
as their battle cry.
This is such a difficult situation,
because this World Championship has also been defined
by just taking it a concept of favorites
and just throwing it out the window.
There's been so many upsets that at this point,
I don't know what's a calling upset anymore.
If Furya wins here, is it an upset?
I think so. Yeah, I think so.
Especially with the crowd as well,
the crowd impact is going to be huge for G2. But G2 also looked so good versus BDS. And that's what I
love about this new format was, yes, they looked great, but they did lose, but they did go three
on Swiss. So they had that extra life. Yeah. And for G2, it really came down to a single play that
made, you know, that made or broke the series. And unfortunately for G2, that broke the series
for him not being able to put away that final shot. But this new format G2 is not out.
They have this extra life. We'll see if they can make the most out of it. I feel like
Every match G2 gets on this stage, they are going to become a different beast.
This is so important that that first match we saw from yesterday,
had it been their second match on the stage against BDS, could easily go on the other way.
Yeah, and I think you look towards what G2 have been doing across the season.
They see this as just another stumbling block up until that grand final.
This is going to be the last chance they get to have that crowning jewel in their season.
They've come off as the major champions. There's one more time to pull them to end.
Very important here for G2 to get off quickly.
Furia has been looking fantastic in all their matches.
Games 1, 2, and possibly 3.
G2 with a great BDS went down 2-0 early in that match.
G2 has to wake up early here and get going in game one.
OK, well, chat, let us know who you think is going to win.
We'll make our picks up here on the desk as well.
James, what do you got?
You know, there has been some upsets,
but I think that I'm going to go with the favorite
on this one. Give me G2 Esports, baby. It feels like it's North America's time. G2, small
blip in the radar. I love quality losses, Wave. That was your quality loss. G2 all the
way. I hate to step up here and feel like a party
pooper. We've had such a nice pre-show for the first time. We're gonna have to come
here and have a bit more impartiality. Give me G2 Esports. They are here as the
The better team, it's three in a row so far on the desk.
I want to see, I want to see,
I want to see the best team win.
I do think G2 is the best team in Rocket League right now.
I think that they can make this happen.
Give me G2 here, with fury on what a story
would be if they could make it past them, folks.
We don't care how I feel.
No one ever cares how I feel.
They just care how the coin feels, folks.
We've got two sides to it.
Let's see how the coin feels.
It's going to be going G2.
G2 is the best team.
The point is a believer.
Folks, we'd love to see it.
Big sweep up here.
G2's and the dust sweeping is never good for them, though,
Gibbs.
It's usually not.
I think you can say it's not like that.
I picked it right here, but hey.
There's one of this.
Best sweep is a chance sweep.
It's a crowd sweep.
Everybody, everyone.
Clear favorites here, but can Furia play spoiler.
It's time to kick off.
Championship Sunday.
The long and winding Champions Road ends here.
As we turn for home with six remaining world championship hopefuls,
the margin for error has been reduced to zero.
No more lives, no more excuses.
Winning is the only option.
The G2 Army has a decisive home field advantage.
They're performing in front of us everybody wants to see them succeed
More than anything right now and they're gonna try their hardest to get that first goal on target here
This one cleared up mid Daniel to send back an early goal for G2's tribe will have this stadium around the furia
Just managed to tip that one over the crossbar. It's G2 that has started well and a match between two teams
With experience different game seven fates to be here furia surviving the attempted reverse week from space station gaming
a cheat suit yesterday, the Agave, the game 702, the BVS.
And that's pretty demoralizing to go through something like that,
especially when you've been at number one for so long.
They're just looking to get that last number one,
the one that means the most, the world championship title.
But on the other side of the field, it's Furia.
They have had a journey and a half to get to this semi-final.
They have gone through mental block after mental block.
And there's another one, it's this one set off to the side.
If anything is tested, it's how good Fury have become, but in my opinion, they're not playing their best at this tournament, but somehow, they've still forced their way towards a top six.
Now capable of bludging their way through opponents, even when not their absolute peak.
Daniel goes high. Daniel already is best performing world championships. His best performance was 9-12, which I think we can all agree is below his standards. No surprise to see him here.
Lost up against Beast mode here is a coming previous silver medalist. It's very stadium
Standing up against your being here lost takes on him here. Yeah, the loss has been his best form
You can see the follow coming through as well
You saw just being a call himself off of it with low boost
But Yan spotted a moment once those last two defenders had gone up cheerio. They saw their time
They took advantage
Yeah, who was here as well
Well, when Furia reached the semi-finals a couple of years ago, that third to fourth place, a real statement of intent from South America.
But now he and Furia are ready to make it number one, and Yan is the player that they will turn to. He has to give a different make-up.
First, he has to defend against a top of a shoot-to-chance. Trephilia Crescia in and out is not needed, and Yan can maybe take this one away.
Pretty decent attempt right there too from G2. I think the plan is just to work together to get around.
You already see them trying to open up a couple paths for each other.
Instead, the big, clear four to Uriya are going to try and transition on over.
Somebody can go like this, Yann, to stop him and make completely dumb it off the play.
I mean, this one goes back in favor of G2.
Tomik's here, I forget it's lost. I'm getting so impressed.
Lost performance, Yann is in the ceiling.
Uriya showing decent defending against G2 so far.
And that's the musty piece, and O'Trucks it all the way.
Yann gets a hundred boost as well. Nice to see Yann going for those plays.
He's been relatively quiet so far in this tournament.
It's quite being the explosive force that perhaps we expected.
Mos, against Daniel, the Beast Mode gets this one away.
There's a bump in the center, a space for Beast Mode, gets one glimmery set, but it's not enough, and Yan can send it forwards.
Here comes Yan, so you wanted to challenge Yan instead.
Just gonna be a clear upfield, low boost though for Traffinio, means it's a little bit more in favor of G2 to get across that midline.
They do, as Beast Mode, his goes up, no connect for Daniel, means Furio is trying to go forward.
It's just one bounce after the other, but Yan can't find his way in.
Lost keeps the attack going though, Furia stepping forward.
She has to take this touch.
Almost gets it past Beast Mode.
Lost keeps his 100 boots, almost catches the ball.
It's the bottom of someone.
She's feeding up against Beast Mode.
This is where Cheezer are at their most dangerous,
but they do manage to emerge before.
Lost, which is that one all the way from the ceiling.
A chance for atomic, he shoots!
And it's my home!
And listen to that!
They are the favorites on paper.
in stats, in everyone's heart, and they know that, and they'll feel it tied in at a minute and thirty-eight.
Here we are, here to play Spoiler.
The start off well, but now they'll have G2 with momentum against them in this first game.
Daniel wins it in the corner, and he keeps pushed as well, great.
Challenge play for him, but they'll squeeze this way back towards Beast Moe.
First start sees Yan already in the air, Beast Moe goes over the top of Yan to the back, but it's on it!
Big save!
That was a really big save on that one, but they're not going to let the pressure up now.
Beastman goes through a challenge. Yan and Jafina working together to get around all of G2.
One last attempt. Atomic keeps this one up.
And Yan, no connect on it. It's an opportunity for Beastman to take a shot off the sidewalk,
slowed down here by Furia. They recognize that G2 is trying to make their attacks right now.
Atomic needs this one for Daniel. Daniel off the backboard! No angle!
near but so far still very low on boot yeah and lost of Elise picked up a hundred for now lost
this is one to the side Atomic has the sense that G2 could do something here before overtime
but yeah the merge to the ball gets the flick reset as well over to the backboard beast mode
want to read great I've shown that from beast mode the pressure is not going to stop here
Gephino over to lock lost into the corner and beast mode to take it away 30 seconds left in
in game number one, tied and even.
Nobody able to take that lead in these last few moments.
The tight series, G2 are involved in it.
It's the same against BDS yesterday.
One gold games, the order of the day.
Slowly to be another one lost.
As Daniel in his sights, there's no boost,
but that's just a fake off Daniel.
For a second, Daniel is dragging the ball again.
And Tomic comes in with a demo.
How much does that give him space to play with?
Jan is there already.
Beats most lingering, opening the ball with fuller.
Overtime looks most likely, unless Daniel could break Furia's hearts here in Game 1.
Not on this occasion, those are a second goal this time.
It's OT.
In to kickoff, we go over to the side.
Jafina around one.
Can he get past two? No, Daniel just slowed down.
Rest of Furia on their attack.
Immediately sent back mid.
Jafina's trying to follow this one up.
Ten seconds into it, Furia had the moment, but G2 put a stop to it.
If Furia had to force the upset,
you sense they have to take opportunities such as this one.
Overtime in game one, if it goes their way,
suddenly the crowd gets spooked.
And this could be a chance for them!
Traffinia, of course, the Tomics make the save.
They're really trying to put all the pressure on them,
but unfortunately, Jethu is just too strong on defense.
They have plans, but the transitions
that they are pulling off right now are so weak.
As this one goes down, lost.
To send this upfield, the Tomics
gonna catch it, pops this one up to the ceiling.
You see, he's gonna get another touch on it.
You know, instead of Furia, push forward.
It wasn't a great pass there from the fence.
It was too high.
Fast for the ceiling.
Furia can emerge.
Here's Traffinia.
It's a lovely first thoughts there.
Lost in the middle.
The mustiest towards him.
Lost his usual reserve.
He's got the second touch.
He was following it up.
Atomic realized that.
He went to the backboard.
Now Daniel going towards his own goal.
More danger.
The G2 stride.
Traffinia in the middle.
Lost up against Daniel.
That's fast for the ceiling.
Who's going to win it?
It's Beast Mode.
Has the composure to take the catch.
Right now, it is just an all-fury.
But finally G2 out of their half taking at least one or two shots here Daniel from the sidewall to himself
On center slow enough to make the save but G2 are still going atomic wanted to spot anybody
But nobody's there instead. It's a huge pinch of field for fear. It seems to me that G2 are getting slightly better of the mechanics these
slight touches they're reading them the better but now
Now, Geffenio tries to track Atomic.
Lost helps him out with the two of them pitch.
He's set that one all the way back as far as Daniel.
He has his car facing his own goal line,
but he does have moves to play with.
So he can get this one into the center.
Geffenio met him.
Atomic, clean touch.
Lost to the ceiling has his flip.
Water's out into the corner this time.
G2, in my opinion, looking slightly more likely.
But Furia, we know they can counter.
Exactly. Furia has gone through so many trials
and tribulations just to get into the series alone.
But like you said, G2 extremely composed,
and that's really what's going to work in their favor.
The mental fortitude to be able to take and withstand
all these shots that Fury had set their way.
And here comes another one.
Daniel takes it, clears it up, and immediately
set back to the backboard.
Great read again from Beast Moon.
And there's a big demo from Daniel as well.
Just when I see them, Fury, we're
ready to spring the trap.
They're still chasing.
Nothing in the tight.
This into the center. Yan is low as well. G2's stealing everything. We saw this at times against TVDS where there were no 12s
And there were no hundreds for them. G2 can put the ball in the center
And if they wanted with it
Lost waits for Yan. She lost tries to barge forwards for Yan, but it's quite well now
Two and a half almost three minutes into overtime now. It's a lot
Right now. It's just going to come down to who makes the first defensive mistake
Both of them have done an incredible job of staying very strong.
The end is just trying to force one with the demos, but Beast Mode is clear.
Allows you to a moment to come on through.
From the ceiling and down, Gryffinio is going to carry this one over.
He spots Lost.
Lost is trying to help them and keep this in their power.
But for now, it's just long, clear.
He's hoping they can get on target.
He tried to make the center of the end, but they couldn't find each other.
Instead, Gryffinio up next.
Nothing towards the net.
Again, very little boost for Furia.
They couldn't keep that attack going. They had to go back and pick up some more.
This 4A Spore with us starting to just tuck around for Furion.
G2 can make a stay in their own pressure. Traffinio follows Atomic.
Atomic gets it high. Traffinio's bypassed.
Beastman has a chance to diminish this one.
Left to the side and will get a second touch as well.
Great defending.
In loss, trying to make a breakaway on it too, but Daniel already back and ready to go off the ceiling.
Straight down to the center, but nobody there. Atomic of net.
On the side wall, Beast Mode, Bucks off the play.
G2 are trying everything in their power,
lost with the Cheetah, and they spot him.
And one here for loss.
He has to boost the player as well.
Iria, finally you keep the ball in Blue Territory.
The answer to the side.
What can he come to her up?
He's got the good first touch.
Daniel's trying to close it down with Daniel's touch.
These are such great challenges coming at the G2.
Tito's to blow down Iria.
Right now the battle is all for control.
As Jansen's this one up,
Lars is trying to find anything, but they just continue to drive us a field, atomic, off the backboard.
Bumped off the plate, Daniel is next. He carries it all into the sky, but completely set off.
Sonya so far, these bumper temps from G2.
Nearly five entire minutes of overtime, as six players search desperately.
The goal that will give them the lead in this series, Yan watches Beast Mode.
The full bounce is awfully, Jameleon helps him out.
And finally Yang does have his control of it as well. Flicks it over the top.
And from it was there, finds Daniel. Beautiful transitions from G2's drive once more.
Traffinia on the free jump, Rita. Tommy gets it all of a sudden, he's lost.
That should be a clear as a theory.
Oh, all the way get the shot off the crossbar with the fall!
Did not!
Just listen to that!
The crowd for a second, G2!
They had it under control.
Lost rooms are yet to get. This can be the bomb!
From the sky, nobody was stopping him.
Fury a-take game number one out time.
And what does that do to their sense of taking this series?
How important is that goal?
That goal is going to do a lot for their mentality.
Again, they had a rough day yesterday.
It was a difficult journey to even get here
and still have a positive outlook
and be prepared for going up against the Titans that are G2.
And for G2's end, I mean, you look back at the highlights,
they looked great defensive-wise.
They were a low and a half.
But at the end of the day, Furia, they found their spot.
They found their peak in their clutch moment for Popper.
You can see this level of high performance replay.
I'm sure there's plenty more we can
have shown from this overtime.
That was some huge saves just before this.
But when Los got that clean touch, finally he followed it through.
And for once the defence wasn't there.
And that guy was very happy.
I love seeing like the one random Furia fan.
Exactly.
There's someone who's specific job it is to find a Furia fan in here.
Desperately search, I got that, we got one.
Let's follow him.
Well, if you're a Furia fan in the building or watching on the stream,
you are ecstatic.
But for the rest of North America,
There's a little sense of scarcity in the game to we go G2 versus fury
of guys G2 respond to see that lost he for me has been furious MVP and I want to
have any people shooting into this tournament would have expected the best
player for fury of anyone except yet lost has been a superstar oh for sure
he's been incredible and then also is the days have gone on all three
Individuals all the period had this shining moment to get us lost in particular my eyes
I've always been drawn to Chiffino. I feel like he really just a he impact player for period all the way around
But for now G2 they got to wake themselves up and in particular these folks. He's the one that decides Daniel with the double demo
Atomic to the back for it. No follow-up
I mean gives us off the on the pre-show about a quality loss
Perhaps G2 will pick that first game was one certainly could have gone either way
I'll compare it to the first goal as well. G2 continues to press.
The bonus in the overtime, but now here in game 2, it's Furia that has started the war of the ball.
Tapiria, now the Glee touched nearly underneath B-Sloane, but close to catching him out.
B-Sloane doesn't end, catch the ball, flicks it forward, it's a monster.
It cadents it towards the backboard. Tapiria just says, you know what? Let's send it long.
They're trying to make their attacks on it too, but G2 are getting faster and faster with their follow-ups
follow-ups and trying to spend this in the top area half area trying to break out once again Daniel puts this one down to the
ground trying to follow it is just be no pops up back into his favor but no
boost means he's just got to wait patiently and that's dangerously close but G2 don't wait for it
yeah it's on the map I'm from the angle that Daniel got a monster has double tapped himself as well
in the sense of irony to see if you can see the goal on a similar manner
he's not flater he comes here
the corner, it's not the Beast mode, it must have watched Aphelio, must have hit the second
block as well. You're allowing G2 to jump forward at the moment, but they come forward.
So it can be devastating, here comes G2, Atomic up against all three of them, Beast mode tries
to force it home. Yan wasn't allowing that, but Yan, I think we lose this one against
Daniel instead. As far as Atomic can make taste control of the area, they're not
chucking men forward at will. Two of them happy to stay back.
Exactly, and the reasoning for that, you've got to know when to play it,
especially against a team like G2.
You pick and choose your moments.
You do not force them against a team
that is so consistent at winning.
G2J tried their hardest on that play.
Beast Mode tried to slow it down a little bit here.
Instead, it's a big clear upfield into the mid.
No follow up atomic to go forward.
It's a miss!
Beast Mode drops it to atomic!
He's attacking!
He's attacking!
And in!
Forcic!
Beast Mode got it past him.
And atomic just needed that grief link
to get it underneath the defender.
G2 say, thank you very much to take that first lead this series.
We're going to try and hold on to it and extend,
but Furia want to respond right here again.
Ocic Pickoff is trying to make his own challenge here.
Daniel reset over one, tries to 50 under Fino.
Beast Boat's follow-up not going to come through.
His loss gets all the way around.
Beast Boat's angle is on target.
It both set off.
Furia to defend.
Yeah, it's already up in the sky for this one.
Guess it's towards the G2 goal.
And that's exactly where Beast Mode was hoping it would go,
because he can take out loss.
Beast Mode runs out of booze, but shoes up Daniel.
Here comes the atomic.
He shoots us!
I thought that one was going to make it that far,
but still, it remains a one.
They keep it going, and Daniel again
to try, and this time not breaking past Yan.
Beast Mode's going to send it and follow.
Gefinio's challenge is successful,
and Furia have the opportunity to break out here.
the end, once he makes his challenge on him in the air, no connect on it means
that Tom it's gonna air dribble this one all the way down and stopped.
G2 started yesterday's series against BDS slowly, and it seems they've done the same
this time, ramping up here in game two, upping the ante, upping the aggression.
They hit come furious to the back, Daniel saves it.
Chafini has an open angle, gets it towards loss, but it's in front of him.
Can't do anything with it, Daniel.
Straight foot to get that one away, Chafini has a goal line.
It's at as high as he can.
Yan has boost, booms it forwards.
And Tommik, does he catch or pass?
He catches.
Lost watches him all the way.
Tanya left against Yan.
There's a buff that comes in, though.
Traffinio can shoot underneath.
Lost could have done it, maybe.
Instead of it falling over his shoulder.
And it's safe by Tommik.
And they try to pull a fast one on them, too.
Instead, G2 spot it and stop it.
But one minute left for Fury to try and tie things up
right here.
G2 are going to stop them in their tracks with a demo
and a bump off the play.
He casts over to Yan to the sidewalk,
Can he get to himself? No, Atomic cuts him off.
Beast mode to clear out Japhunio trying to make the challenge.
Lost is on target and nobody can get through to G2.
G2 reserves.
Yann's shot was safe.
Atomic both could only get it so far.
Perhaps Yann knew that G2 were out of boost
and the Clarex would go nowhere.
And yet again, Furia refusing to bend.
This is the playstyle we got with Furia yesterday.
and they were really coming down to the wire.
It is just a pressure of build-up.
It never seems to end, and eventually, their opponents crack.
They're buying a small little gap in the defense.
Where's all the G2 boosts?
All three of them have nothing yet again.
They want to come forward and counter.
Furia unlessing them.
Finally, they break through.
Daniel has lost in front of him.
Both players awkward and sideways.
I'll see in a way a couple more seconds.
Make overtime more likely unless there's
a quick-fire counter here.
Yeah, it goes forward, like it just waits, lost, makes it, punish for that decision.
Venio, towards B-S mode, can that be one more slice of drama here?
No!
Buckle up, everyone! It's overside two!
Off the kickoff this time, it's gonna go into the hands of Ataman,
but Man's pushing forward and this is what Curia does.
They try and stop you as quickly as possible from B-S mode,
off the backward, great read from Lost.
Jan gets his one to the side, he's got 33 boosts and he can do an abundance of stuff with it, he gets almost a double flip reset.
Nearly was able to scoop that one up. I think it's something kind of covered either way, but just a reminder of what Jan's all about mechanically.
That was back on once more, G2 digging deep, there's a leap there from Daniel towards B smoke.
Jan had the read, lost his up for it, period with more control at this point, lost underneath it, goes for the shot!
That is the same.
Such great pinch and sense as well.
But a bigger pinch comes through and Yan thankfully way back in that deep third to catch it.
And curious they play the safe game.
But can they get back out of their own half?
Trefino over one.
Very low boost. No boost at this point.
And Atomic to clear.
Boss is going to take such a nice serve.
It passed the first G2 attacker of dirt.
Trefino is waiting in the center.
There's nothing in the tank so he must want to keep it low.
It does no challenge high.
Atomic up wide, Eastwood gets the read properly, and one of the first-time slashes, and he can flip reset this.
Come on, the goals for the tournament!
Tamek saves, Loth gets it wide.
So, and in the corner, Atomic shot on target, he's both tried to lurk it and help him out,
and said Jan's gonna carry this all the way through and lost him in the sand, helping his partner try and get into that net.
He bumps up the play, but Atomic stays strong, and he takes it from Furia.
Not only does he stay strong, he also takes the boost as well, but Furia had it in their sights.
Huge defensive play from Atomic.
Venio has nothing, so it's a team that's one relatively neutral for Jan and Daniel.
And then, great challenge game from Lost.
Another boost field from Atomic.
Atomic is an absolute nuisance of Uriah right now, but they have to get it past him.
Lost has nothing, Atomic gets it forwards.
Atomic clears, seems to be the key man for G2 here in overtime.
Atomic just pulls straight down, Venio towards Lost, but Atomic again should get the block.
Daniel, he's going to follow it, try and open up an opportunity, and intercept it, and stop.
Which means Drifelio's up next. Low boost for Furia, but they're still on the attack.
Two minutes into overtime. Last time it took five minutes and ten seconds to end this.
G2, they don't want the same result as Daniel. Reset, tries to spot Atomic.
These will all follow, but deny, deny, deny.
What a block there. That wasn't Drifelio and lost. Can't quite get the second rate up the ceiling.
The Anaheim has full control now, Loss. No way near that boost.
Another attack becomes neutral, but Fenia up against...
It's Beastman, now Atomic.
Yes, that one as far as Loss started, it's the real chance!
But what are we... That is from Atomic!
It's not going to stop. They know. Statistically, they are better.
And they just have to show it here.
Fury ignoring everything that is supposed to be against them.
They are still pushing forward. Loss is a little bit too close to Yanon,
on that one but he lured for the second touch from the ceiling down Daniel
comes this out to the main and fury up keep going
the video against B-Snow Traffinia wins that one atomic once more the
stalwart in G2 defense get over yet he can you know lost is there still was
coming danger for a split second as far as fury are concerned yet as far as
Daniel G2 has managed to wrestle the initiative here from fury and went
their own way for the first couple of minutes.
That's three and a half of gone mammoth-lokatons.
At this point, something extremely special and creative
has to come out, or just the most insane ball ever.
Simplicity can also be an answer.
As this one's cleared out, Daniel's gonna send it straight on back.
Atomic tries to catch it. He dies, and it's not in.
These smoke was causing all sorts of chaos there.
I think he took out one and was bumping the aperture.
Trefino had to jump earlier than he would have liked.
The clearance wasn't perfect, so it finds its way to Daniel.
Atomic in the sector.
Daniel wants to get it towards Atomic.
He got it lost.
The two of them, they get the same.
Beast Mode served this time.
G2 time after time, searching forwards.
Atomic though loses it.
That was going as far as Daniel.
Lost gets the free jump.
She get the ball, but he does it.
Daniel's over the top of there.
Trefino sees it away.
G2 just continued to wait in that mid.
He did one turn at a time.
both teams playing this fairly safe.
Nobody wants to be the person to cause the first mistake.
And Furia just allowing G2 to take the shot.
They just defend them and clear them off.
But no solid follow.
Just yet, Daniel and Beast with low boost.
Shite off the angle on this one.
And no connect from Atomic.
From the first time, I've seen that from G2.
And shards that they couldn't quite take in a key overtime.
Here comes Daniel.
Furia surely can't hold on much longer.
Every time I look at that boost, it's low.
Every time G2 have a hundred, still from the ground,
another save, Daniel is more high.
Traffino, from underneath his own goal, gets something on it.
Beast mode is just waiting, all of them lingering
the G2 players that is.
Yan, another challenge.
How much longer can these challenges be won by Furia?
We're gonna find out here, extremely low boost,
but G2's still taking their shot
to the backboard, attempted, water fall down.
The loss keeps it out.
Daniel makes his challenge on one,
set back and the follow from BeastBug comes through.
More boost than Gephenial means he could get over
if he wanted to.
Atomic 50 is an open shot and Daniel could make it,
but no!
Furia continue to keep them out.
Five and a half minutes of pure defense from Furia.
It's like a training drill.
It's like a series of all-gets-in-a-sensor.
It bounces off an invisible wall
and comes straight back to one free-orange goal.
Daniel gets the next touch.
Atomic fans in the pass,
That'll go solo instead.
Yeah, it's done!
The rotations were perfect.
Furia was surviving.
I mean, I was wondering if any second we
were going to see G2 over-commit,
but that never seemed likely.
Pinpoint precision of the third man
searching forward to most aggressive half rotations.
And this highlights package will be a barrage.
I mean, you saw it.
They were just absolutely relentless.
And they were also very patient with it as well.
They recognized that Furia, if they had gotten any space
in their own side on the blue half,
that it was almost a little bit too easy for them
to get around so they recognized taking one shot
after the other consistently showing no fear.
Huge reactions there from the crowd loving it.
And Daniel's fate there for atomic shut was incredible.
Him dropping a 956 point gain.
Daniel, among all that, made eight saves himself.
Can't remember too many saves that G2 had to make,
certainly in the overtime.
So I've got a feeling Moe's a cane in regulation play.
And for Furia, they have to just completely
write that game on because if they go into this one,
expecting to defend as much for five minutes,
G2 are gonna storm away with this.
Exactly.
And you do have to remember the crowd is on G2's side.
So when they can get those goals, it is loud as they feel it.
It helps drive the momentum.
But they just got to find them again.
This one's in the corner.
Eastmote trying to work together with Atomic and said,
Daniel's going to have to send this one up.
Nobody there means Furia going to be able to send it upfield.
It comes lost.
He gets in there ahead of Daniel and falls in touch
from him.
Eastmote towards Atomic, but G2 continuing this one.
But they left off a bit in touch by Atomic.
They got those passes going round.
It can be incredibly difficult to defend against.
Fury, they just have to, in my opinion, take some more risks, because they're trying to defend their way forwards.
G2 are letting them have anything. Fury have to get back to the front, but this might be how, by a Yacht.
But Tomek on the backboard, Yacht keeps control of the ball, even though he has no boost.
He's supposed to care to be into the center, Tomek might end there ahead of loss.
He does, but by what is actually at the crossbar top three, he can slow things down well.
Well, just working, recognizing that G2, they're trying to force a lot of these shots.
But now they're being a little bit more anticipated with their challenges.
Houston leading by one, low boost all the way around.
Furia trying to break on in, Yan past one.
Can he get past Daniel slightly and lost is there, but they call themselves off.
Furia races back as they wait for the next attack.
Phenium is angry, he tends to 100% of the sense of waiting for the bull to pull for him.
That's getting Furia an outlet right now.
Those are charging forward faster, taking more risks with guns and challenges, and it turns things back around.
DreamWork makes the DreamWork for a team like Furia.
They work their way around G2, they finally spot a small hole in the net, and they place it on an entire game for G2 and Furia.
I definitely get a sense of theory and have made the decision not to defend quite so deep to
try and sit a big bump forward in the pitch to the neutral game.
So you can challenge these people before they go up into the air, before they make their passes.
That slight tactical change seems to have paid dividends in the last minute or so.
G2 though, they get up to pace again, makes them look more gear to play with.
Lost in the corner, gets it as far as Beast Mode.
Yan is bypassed so easily.
Beast Mode a couple of touches, saves that one.
Yan has to get something on this one.
He waits for a coming touch and stabs.
And then gets the bump and loses a chance.
And the challenges are still coming on in.
Jafina going back, but Daniel forces it on him,
makes him have to go all the way around to the other side of the field
and waste all of his resources.
And that means he ends up next.
Oh!
Shut on target!
Follow up!
It's wide!
Man, that was, I think, a real chance for loss.
He's getting shiniest car enough to the side
to get the angle that he wanted.
There is lost again against Beast Mode.
So that quality from the end almost opened up G2.
Daniel, lovely first touch.
Look there in the center.
Loss has nothing but gets them all away.
Beast mode has everything boost-wise in the center.
Yeah, it has some control here.
Daniel, can't get the touch that you wanted for the comic.
My spire is lost.
There, the scene.
You saw in the overtime,
the spear in the center with no boost to play with.
And here comes Daniel wants to get the pinch instead.
It's lost, he's buffed away.
Yeah, has to win this one and does.
This one's in full neutral.
And the thing that is probably so frustrating is
you two know they're not playing at the peak right now.
They are just extremely consistent with what they are bringing to the table,
but we haven't had the pop-off crazy moment that we've all been waiting for yet.
Beast Mode around the corner, Gioffino in here working together to slow G2 down.
For now, they will, they transition into the G2 hack.
They try and spot each other, but Daniel to take away.
He's just got incredible boost control this time.
He gets it all the way from coast to coast.
Still has stuff to play with.
Yeah, to see possession to B-Smoch, a Fenio in the middle here.
He's smoking with this one, it could be serious danger.
I told him to the ceiling, is anybody coming in?
There was, but Lost beats it.
Now it's a race, he's Lost gonna win it.
He's got the vision as a batter on both.
Yeah, cheating chance to the side, to the corner.
In the center, he misses though.
A mad attack, but now comes to nothing.
They keep trying to keep up the pressure,
but G2 continue to put a stop to it.
Now it's their turn.
Daniel forces it into his free play and gives G2 a second precious leading game three.
One minute and 14 seconds in furious eyes that is enough time but to G2 they just want to waste it.
Jan takes his touch, he gets the victory set as well.
Mowen from G2 takes the base, so Jan just okay.
I'll keep on going, get a simple shot on goal, and take a player out.
Lost, he's got a shot, and G2 turns the baby.
Jan up against Daniel, into the centre.
Daniel has to get the second touch in, done it.
Lost, forced to the pitch.
Vs Mo Trivenio in front of him.
He's emerging, he's got 24 boosts to play with.
Can't do too much, Fury, I have to get a hold of this ball.
Control is always going to be the name of the game, especially against G2.
They do such an incredible job of folding that ball close to them, but the demos are coming out.
The ball passes are coming through, but everybody bumped off their attempts.
And 25 seconds left on the clock, Fury are getting sent back into their own half.
Yann has nothing in the tack once more, lost his to his side, but I can't see how he had to get the ball to him.
Instead his Beastman could kill this one now with one solo play.
Daniel Schurz, second god-boy score, seven seconds to go,
theory of running low on John Yen, tries to make the angle,
Gepheniel tries to force the push, but this one's back,
and Pismo could kill it!
Easy for them.
It's been adversity for G2, but they take the lead in the series,
and they're doing it their own way.
The passing plays are working, but for me, it's the boost control
the G2 half as the key differentiator.
The one time we saw that G2 was not in charge of the boost on the field.
That was where the games started to get away from them.
And like you said, once they started to get a grip on that,
and every path was in their favor, there was no slowing them down.
Furia, I believe is saving their tactical time out.
They're happy with the way things are going.
So they'll keep that one in the bank.
I mean, I think what Furia hope you tell themselves
is that game came down to longer.
Lost Mr. Ball, even at this level, it happens.
I love the stories, by the way.
I love that most.
But I don't think I would agree with that.
I think that G2 has control of the situation,
whether or not that would come in.
No, I definitely agree with you on that one.
I feel like G2, this one, was way more in their favor.
It was way more controlled.
And maybe it didn't feel that way.
But to us, that's how it looked.
They kept it so much closer than they did
in the first two games.
Now they push forward. They're gonna try and take the most important game here. The match point win.
Game four. G2 with a slender lead. Furia had at least 60 seconds to talk things through.
They did have moments in that last game where they were taking the fight to G2.
Beast mode got up early there and that was important because Yam was slipping around for a bump.
He's been here up against Beast Mode.
He already needs to take control of this ball, and they need to do it consistently.
It has a shining moment of consistency, but as the series goes on it gets further and further away, although this time, Yann spotted that read like it was just another day in the office.
He also gambled as well, and he had a sense that at the top he was going to miss it on the backboard, so he followed up as if he would.
And what do you know, Yann's instincts were correct.
If Yann comes online, Fury will have a genuine chance here.
This is so true. Yann really has the ability to raise the Barbers team off the pace,
allow them to play into a full state.
And once Fury will reach that peak, there is no stopping them.
But same can be said for G2. Right now they're going to race back.
The shot to the backboard is read by Atomic.
This one gets sent and cleared.
Lost with the catch, Daniel was ready for it.
He's already up as well, G2.
Ever happy to play in front of the ball?
He's so does nothing and does so much good work with nothing in the tack there.
Saren'tis' card to get as much of a dunk as possible.
The surface area was as impressive as it could have been.
And clear as long, B-Smo just waiting.
Here he is doing their best to double this lead.
Joffini off against B-Smo, and he goes on to the eighth!
He kept doing exactly what he wanted to do.
As soon as he saw Joffini as pre-jumped,
And my goodness, and it wired to the Fection. G2, another equalizer.
Yanlo, he gets the victory set himself up against Daniel, wants the dunk and gets it.
Is anyone following up? It's lost to the backboard.
Lost once a second touch as well, and now G2's encounter.
Tafinio, the breakwall in the center, he's bumped away though, that wall is knocked down.
As soon as it was built, here comes Yanlo for the dunk.
Tomic, nothing.
Lost, just watches him and waits.
Daniel to the sky, Tafinio's here, furious, starting to get clean touched in the center.
A little bit slower now too, G2, they're trying their hardest to defend all of these shots,
but Furia is forcing them to waste so many resources.
All low on boost, one more attempt, it's off! G2 managed to survive!
Yes, sorry!
What is this thing?!
Yen! He's spotful of G2, so low, your feet is at it back and it's just the
the finest of the redirects in for Furia to take the lead.
Two goals from Yan spells danger for G2.
Furia, currently with the ascendancy,
has been engaged in continuous.
They seem to be able to...
If Furia started to do this off the kickoff,
this could mean trouble for G2.
Great read from Trefino,
with nothing less than speed.
So far, the only goal G2 have got this game
was admittedly the goal of the series,
but it pretty much came from nothing.
It actually came from furious pressure.
They have it all right now.
They're the ones who are sinking their shots,
taking their chances, and forcing more opportunities.
As Atomic tries to change that narrative.
Daniel shoots, lost.
It's already there, and the difference is
lost has boost to play with.
So when the ball falls to Yan,
he can try at least a TF and teammate
and look at the counter, it leads to Jafenium
In the center, he's still got boost.
Beast Mozo, lips in there, tries to go for the ceiling pinch,
can't quite sink it, and something's a lot up.
Very low boost again from G2.
The last time we saw this, things started to get very messy
for them approaching second half of the game.
It's a no-thing bet, but it's a wide missed shot.
Jafina gonna try and keep the hooks alive
of extending the lead to four, but this one is out.
Yan around the corner to himself, no center,
above of the flag, but G2 have the read.
Loster has just one more pass! Couldn't quite connect, maybe he meant to fake it.
Either way G2 were happy enough with that result.
Jan has the ceiling reset, Loster almost gets the ball.
Trophinio has nothing on his own goal line, so that's just watching him wait.
Atomic he shoots, that should be saved by Jan diving down like super, Jan.
Now here he comes against Daniel, Loster nipping in here to the side.
Jan can't get that read, somebody for furious.
Jody's gonna hit this one next to Trophinio, wants to get the double card,
Not for Seattle. Daniel can't get the ball away either. No one from G2 can just send this ball back to Orange Territory.
Right now, Tyria just completely owned the mid-line. They have stopped every attempt at a clear possible.
This one finally passed, but we're going to see. Is it just as short-lived as before? Not quite.
Daniel with his 50. Demo in front of the net. Beast mode. Going to try and take the 1v1 on Yan.
But Yan pulls through and sends Fyria back to blue.
into the centre of his loss, this should be four!
Flexes from the Aans 50-50 and surely Poles came four away from the grasp of G2.
They all have to step back up themselves. A humbling game, just for G2 but for the crowd as well.
For the desk, for all of us who predicted G2 to take this one.
Atomic gets a double flippery set, will it matter?
Yannick to the corner by a Daniel B smoke wins this one as far as atomic and so they should make it 4-2
B smoke does in the end and the nerves return for the area
The force is strong with G2 on this one also just to spot it out
B smoke and Daniel are like we have to make sure it finds its way in the lead has been cut in half
But only 46 seconds ago
Something of the kickoff would give them enough time to feel more comfortable headed into the last remaining moments of this game for
Oh, it's having was up there for the breach up nearly wants out Burial waiting for it though
They know what Tomic's game they are familiar with it
Jafidia takes this slide to such a terrific reason again
He's buzzing about just like he was engaged to be
On each other the two people that everybody want to see connect are here atomic and beast but working together
26 seconds left, one goal lead for Furia off the kickoff, they go.
Now the Furia players begin to sweat, 20 seconds gonna feel like an age.
Atomic into the center, he has Daniel there waiting, Daniel's up, Daniel to the whiteboard,
yes, and a bridge open, it's a big save from Lars, he comes busy, they're trying to nick this one.
Have they ever committed? You understand why? They have to keep it up.
Atomic, Beast mode's there, he has 100 boosts, can they get him the ball?
I don't think they'll be able to, but still the ball refuses to fall.
Beast mode, atomic in the center.
Is anyone there for a G2 player?
Is Beast mode up to 50%?
Come on!
In the end, equalize.
So much hope.
But as time goes on, it dwindles away.
G2 had so much strength to try and force those challenges at the end there,
But at the end of the day, Furia are doing what everybody deemed impossible, take down G2.
741 points for a losing team for Beast Mode.
They couldn't take the game, but that certainly bodes well.
One of the, certainly I think the goal of this match so far.
An absolute stunner there.
But Furia, they more than rallied, they stepped right up.
Suddenly, they were the team playing with belief.
And once Jan got this goal, Furia ran away with it.
I mean, you just, you gotta get props to G2.
I mean, the fact that they were even able to come back as quickly as they were
towards the end of the match, that just says a lot about them in themselves.
But for Furia, again, every time these teams have matched up, it is gone to G2.
They are trying to rewrite the head-to-head storyline on the biggest stage in the world.
Combined, the G2 players are 11-2 against South American teams.
Atomic has never lost to a South American team.
Here are one of these beautiful RLCS lads.
But again, Summer, the South American region continues still to improve.
Brazil just has a constant number of oncoming superstars.
And right now they're putting NA's best of the sword.
Beast mode has to hit the player to continue to step up.
What a game he had in the last one.
This is why G2's lost.
I mean, realistically, you just got to remember
really at the end of the day, if you're G2,
you know that you are a favorite.
You know you love.
But the same could be such a fury.
Yan tried to find his way on,
and he wanted that first opening goal.
And that's such an important one to have to,
to really just force G2 into a position
where they have to go follow you,
follow your footsteps.
Watch! You make the center! This one! Set out!
Let me save that from Atomic.
There was a real shooting chance at Atomic, you knew exactly where it was going.
Blocked the bullseye.
Musta gets Beast Mode. Beast Mode wins that one hand.
There's a big demo as well from Daniel. Yeah!
He only tipped it back, but he works out perfectly.
Daniel has 100 moves to play.
Into the center. Beast Mode's there, waiting for the ball.
And he could have quite squeezed it towards him.
Yann wins this one.
Now Beast Mode can stare down Dravenia.
Trivia is getting more involved in the series as the games go on.
Most needs that one more save for Trivia.
Most comes out with a monster of ceiling kins and unfortunately the Furia didn't quite go towards the goal.
Yeah, there's no connect on the Nile bird, Daniel just tried to make another clear, but the one thing I will give credit to Furia is they are still, they have a lot of control in that midline.
Finally, G2 trying to make a break past them.
Dayno collects that big boost, but it's 50 back, but no atomic to send forward.
Maybe the connect to Beast Mode could be enough from the ceiling and down.
He's trying his hardest to follow, but no boost means Furya gets to go back upfield.
Can I clue it? The Canahevo Beast Mode continues to be unlocked.
The first danger sign for Furya, the Yann.
It's Charles himself, he goes to the cliff, he says Beast Mode saves.
Femio is there. It's the middle again. The challenge is one pledge of Femio.
It's back towards his teammate, I believe. Yes, here comes Lost.
Now as Yann serves the backboard, Daniel's tracking this one all the way.
Furious showing more signs of stepping forward further.
He tries to take out something, but can't quite.
And right now Furious getting a little bit cheater and cheater as time goes on with their attacks.
They're trying to inch up, push forward, and it's gonna take one bit clear for Jidu to catch them off guard,
but both back in time. Atomic recognizes it.
It's a low shot and Beast Mode next to follow.
He's got enough to work with. He's under one!
This is what they're talking about, and lost to keep this out!
The Chaos caused by Beast Mode though, almost unblockable by Furia.
Trefina is going to take this one away to the middle. Beast Mode is there for it.
Lost into the center.
I'm telling you, what are these players? What's going on?
It lacks really. They all wanted to go towards their opponent's net.
Yadmine for the player to finally get those angles correct.
Instead, he's stuck as far as Lost.
He continues the slow foray for what?
Fiora
you left against the Phoenix
The defending right now for both teams seems to be the story of the game. Yeah, it's gonna be a story of crew
Is gonna be the first one to pass up
If you're gonna try and force it right here great save from Daniel and he's still trying to get around
But it's another challenge from lost Fiora
Just one challenge after the other would attempt to center after the other but Fiora
continue to be stopped every single time.
This is a one-goal game, written all over it, and right now it's Fury who better
trying to force the issue, Fesmo, into the center.
Here's a shot for Los Mavis, no lost, underneath the ball, yeah?
That's the composure, hit the one to the backboard,
Los is striking it, and Los is scoring it!
Fury has sneaked their way through the pinch to center,
It just dead molded straight enough in front of Lars to be able to get past it.
Daniel Fury gets a one goal lead.
A pinch on a plate, there from Lars and G2 currently being served.
Yes, another defeat, but Daniel wants something to say about that.
Well, can he follow it? He can't, can't get the shooting angle low.
G2 suddenly gonna throw everything at this one.
He smokes, turns, he has the pass.
I won't say in the ceiling, but Atomic is ready for it, tries to get the flip reset.
Not this time. Daniel, lost in front of him.
Beastman always gets up at the top of Yann.
Yann takes it away. It could be two.
He gets the big over, and comes lost.
Here's the crossbar, but Graffinian keeps it going.
That's most of the B2s, and it wasn't.
Furia are relentless at this point,
just forcing shot after shot, forcing G2 back further and further.
But Daniel and Beastman are trying to work together to get out.
But unfortunately for themselves,
Fury and just have the upper hand in the moment. They're trying to take back control of this ball 30 seconds left on the clock
Why don't we go leave for Fury?
Can they make it to be one of the cycle? He almost got it as well down as far as atomic g2 at least a control of the bull
He's my racist rafinia. Rafinia wins it. Thank you into the middle. Here's a topic
But keep the attack going is a huge clearance level. Traffinia swaps that ball away
potentially saw G2 away. This is because of much point for Furia. G2 have to win this series.
Just a little bit of a shot. G2 are coming in, but it's too little, too late.
Three, two. G2 staring down the barrel.
They have tried so many attempts, but Furia, the moment they have that lead,
lead they hold onto it for life and G2 this time felt a little bit more
disconnected than in the past and towards the later half of the game they
finally were able to start to find themselves a little bit more they
recognized that pinballing that's around the period defense was the answer
just unfortunately for them it was too little too late. Yeah they suddenly
made fear a worry and now I think that fear are gonna take the most of
this time because we are going to have a NASCAR timeout from G2 are going to be taking their
time and we will see a couple of extra minutes here. One extra minute to overall the G2.
It's nervy, nervy territory here at the G2 strike.
It's not only nervy, but it's unfamiliar. They have spent the entirety of the 2024
season in the top two nobody it felt like it felt like no one could take them
out for so long and right now the one team that has never been able to take
them down is doing it so G2 called the NASCAR timeouts and they try and make a
game plan headed into the match point I mean if anything at this point it's
to take away furious momentum after games two and three G2 over fury a
could not land a punch. And suddenly, the South American opponents are pummeling into
them. G2 barely have an answer. The last game was the closest one. That was the one that
both teams were desperate to hold onto at all costs. Furia emerged on top. G2 despite
their late rally, just have to try and regroup. I mean, I'm glad I'm not in Saffy's shoes
right now because I have no idea what I would be saying.
Honestly, knowing Saphir, I'm sure whatever is being said is towards the mental and remembering
who they are.
You don't have to talk a big plan or a big game.
It's just all remembering that the next one is the do or die moment.
For so long, G2 have been at the top.
Everybody expects them to stay there, but right now, Furia have the opportunity
to put an end to that.
G2 need everything from this crowd right now.
Every half chance they need you on that beat.
As for Furia, it's up to them to silence you,
up to them to silence the doubters
as they've been doing for years now
as a region, as individuals.
Yeah, the speed of the conversation
for the best player in the world.
He has to prove that from this point forwards.
Underneath this one right now, but Atomic takes clear control of the ball, Daniel tries to get the redirect, he's almost there.
Does keep control of the ball though, followed up maybe by Beastwood, a double commit from Furia, and that is the first sign of nerves.
And unfortunately for them, that means G2 is going to go on their attack, they got the demo off of one, but Lost was able to regain control a little bit.
Atomic off the ceiling with the challenge, no touch on that bomb, and Furia gets continued to push forward in the G2 half.
Daniel waits. Daniel watches Traffinio. Can he get underneath him again? Yes he can.
Daniel has no boost left. If Tommi does, Tommi shoots, he out-saves.
As far as Beast mode and loss, helps the job there. It was a scary bounce, but it worked out okay.
As far as Fury are concerned, they hadn't been back despite the G2 control.
G2 have started Game 6 the better in my opinion. Fury, though, did it away by a loss.
Georgia boosts the two G2 players in the corner.
It means they can launch an almighty attack here.
Yannlips in, only gets it as far as Daniel.
This bull's gonna bounce so much audaciously for Furia.
Let's look at that final pass G2.
They're desperate to make it.
Furia are letting them.
But that miss might do.
Atomic almost passes way through.
Daniel up against Traffinio.
Traffinio has to win it and does.
As time goes on, you can see G2 physically get more aggressive.
The bumps are coming out more and more frequently and consistently.
Daniel trying to lurk on Beast Mode.
up next to follow on the challenge. He's trying to break past, but all three members of Fyria
are staring them down as they try and break into their half-beast mode, denies them all,
sends them racing back against him, but no boost means Fyria can read.
And no boost, didn't quite have the angle either.
And even Beast Mode couldn't quite rip that one around. Maybe he can this time.
Trefino gets it long. Atomic into the sense, he's there on Atomic again,
emerging towards this ball instead of Beast Mode.
Lost in us Daniel in the center to keep an eye on, box him out of the way around
and just keep the amount of assault car on him.
Beast Mode of Daniel now G2, I still back this ball.
Daniel gets over the top of one and Tommy goes for fake challenge.
Beast Mode shoots and let's go get the save.
You saw Tommy hesitate a little bit and Beast Mode said no this is
the moment this is the high risk, high reward play.
A loss, just a little too slow, no boost in the tank to make the save on, and G2 take the lead as they approach the second half of Game 6.
It wasn't actually the best finish in the line from B-smote, lost to the chance, but it was enough.
That's all that matters. Turning Game 6 into Game 7.
In G2, and a bit forward to another big Game 7 coming in today, but they'll certainly take it now.
Lost, bombs B-smote, almost. B-smote instead though, comes away with it.
Can't land on this boost, but the Trefino stole it on the way.
Daniel perfect first touch, Daniel great second touch.
Anyone up for him?
No, it's just lost.
Lost over one, man.
Trying to get the bump off his bone,
but he still prevails G2.
Trying to push forward.
Yan and Daniel in the fight, Trefino up next.
Lost his spot at anything.
Wow.
What a shot this is.
Watch this right here from Trefino.
Gets the angle almost perfect
that loss was already up there for it.
G2 have to stop all over again.
Less than two minutes.
It's even playing ground.
Who retakes the lead?
Daniel setting this one upfield,
tries to follow no boost,
but he still makes another challenge.
He makes his center,
but it's cleared out into the mid
and Furia work together to break past
into the G2 half.
Yeah, and as a chance,
it leads him on towards loss.
Yan sweeps up again to the ceiling, nothing in the tank, but he goes from the ceiling, wants to get this bounce to the Sparrow's Beast bone.
There's just nothing for G2, they have to watch Furia get his defense.
Traffinio into the middle, Yan is already there waiting, Furia in front of the bull, playing with confidence still, even in game 6.
Playing about money right now, Furia.
Beast smart bone to the backboard, it's saved by Traffinio. Yan gets it long, a minute left until yet another appetite.
G2
They've been in this position before they're gonna try and not make the same mistakes
But they have in the past of this series one minute left on the clock atomic using everything left in the tank to make the pump on the
Play but yann makes the read
Pushes them back, but G2 push forward you smoke up next another bump on
Drafino means Daniel has the space to make a center nobody to follow it
It's a late follow and a late touch from atomic that gets taken away from him as fury of race forward
Such that from yet to get it to the park on it. Here's Daniel, though
He's got a chance to make something from this one beast mode waiting underneath it
He doesn't tell me he's already up a Chavinia is faster than him
But what is our place Chavinia shoots gets the dog saved by beast mode
Here comes Furia
But better yet here comes G2
16 seconds left on the clock can somebody steal it away in the final moments of game number six
Furia push forward, lost, and Yen work together, but G2 to slow them down.
Four seconds of the clock, Daniel no boost, they're in the Furia half, but lost to kill it.
Another precious overtime.
Gold news, G2, fourth champions field potentially.
Yen gets it almost over the top of B-Smo, he takes his touch, a flick reset into the corner.
Does he have teammates in the center? No.
Beast Mode rolls up all the way as Barastrophenio Daniel has to win this race. Furious not overtime the better.
Atomic past the midline trying to open up a path and Beast Mode's next but Yann sends him racing and Daniel just gonna force the challenge on it trying to slow down Furia.
A little bit here and Atomic makes a catch in impactful one at that as he sends us up to the backboard. He tries to drop it down but nobody's there.
Yannup against Beast Mode. Beast Mode has it under his control. Lost to the ceiling is what he sees.
wants to get the pitch and can't quite do it.
Lost is finding the ball just hitting him from his teammate.
Not quite sure that's what Fury are meant for, somehow they smuggle the ball away.
Fury is still trying to go on, but G2 even further.
Low boost, reset forward.
All three members of Fury are bunched up together just trying to make sure that G2 stay out of their half
and don't force the most important game of the series, a game seven.
Fury are the goal away from top four.
They can smell it again, hearing Dickie's arena.
He can, booms in as far as he can.
Daniel's first touch, yet again immaculate.
Beast mode has a chance.
He takes the catch on the floor.
Traffinio and Yamatoom are together.
For his Beast mode wants to get the pass to Atomic,
it's clear why.
They're still fighting Furia on this one.
They take control of this ball once again.
He walks to dead ball and Atomic to Daniel.
Daniel leaves it down.
What is pitch down?
He got pass to Atomic.
The second one's alert.
Curious of I for now, here's Yan.
Nice first touch.
To get the dunk on Daniel, keeps it going as well.
The recovery is flawless.
Beast mode has control of this one.
Watches Trafino, waits for him.
He has to get it past him.
Instead he just clears the path for Atomic.
Yan goes high.
First touch is good.
Daniel off against him.
Yan wants the flip reset.
Can't get it.
Trafino's serve this time.
That's the goal in his sight.
Has the flip reset, brings it to Watchmen.
But Atomic was watching.
Two minutes into this one, extremely back and forth.
As time goes on pace picks up atomic around the sidewall tries to make the center Daniel to the corner
Fury a blot out of their house
They try to get there, but it's discombobulation as they work together G2 pass to atomic
Trefino to kill Daniel goes high lost
Waits for this one fury know they don't have to rush atomic shoes
Yeah, it should be there in this piece mode was flying home. Yeah now gets it almost over the top of Daniel
Flings the ball away towards his teammate, B-Smo's back to Daniel, left to right right now.
The story of the progression from G2, B-Smo braces, lost. B-Smo has a chance now, catches it, he's on the floor.
Atomic's turn, pass Yanle, is there a defender left? Yes there is, just.
Furia slowly starting to waver against G2. One attack after the other continues to come in.
clear could give Furia just a small bit of breathing room, but it's completely short-lived
down to Atomic into the quarter, back to himself, bump in the net. Can G2 find themselves here?
Daniel walks into the corner. There's a race between two Furia players for this ball.
Trefino wins it, but Beast Mode is there. Beast Mode is waiting, lost. Knocks it wide.
Trefino to the ceiling. That's floating dangerously towards Beast Mode. He's waiting for it.
Becken's on loss and then there's two Furia players.
You can see the nerves in the defending.
You can, Furia slowly starting to crumble as time goes on,
but they're finally in a place they've been comfortable,
but immediately set racing home low boost for Yann.
Tries to send it back, but Atomic says no.
We're going to your side, Daniel, to catch it.
Into the air, to the ceiling, to the backboard.
Can G2 spot themselves?
No, it's a pinch back into their own half.
Another four minute strickel by.
The Tomek takes a couple of touches.
Tied into the first ball.
Is Beast Mode coming in?
You keep pushing forward.
Furious defense has been monstrous to G2,
but they are still going strong.
Beast Mode tries to get past the last he does.
Daniel up next in rotation on this one.
He keeps going forward.
You see a Tomek trying to spot him, but they're not in.
How does Furia keep on doing this?
We had a couple of double commens, but apart from that Immaculate Defending, there's almost a miss there, though.
Atomic has Daniel in his sights.
Yan wins that one.
Beast mode has a hundred. The first touch has to be awkward.
An awkward height to jump at.
And Furia, forcing themselves upon him so quickly.
His Beast mode wants to get a double.
Yan waiting for it.
Yan now up against Daniel.
Fino in the center.
Oh, Yan makes him out beautifully to allow him to Fino in.
This is a real chance for Furia.
On the counter attack, could be classic Furia.
Cross to the backboard, Atomic players.
This is one of the better opportunities that Fury have had, but now G2 have to play defense
after having so many shots taken on the Fury and Neck, lost trying to find himself.
He does around one corner, Beast Road slows him down, five minutes and ten seconds, they
push forward, Yan to immediately send back.
They're just trying to follow themselves.
Can Yan set up Drafidio?
The favourites of the tournament and for good reasoning, the one time we have seen them waver, the one time we thought this could be over, they find the breakaway and they give themselves another left.
Jokes the position of Jan, head in hands, and the crowd erupting behind him and Fury, I mean, I also have a nice word.
I think they're not bad because they have not taken their time out. They are rolling straight through to open up Championship Sunday on game 7 and just listen to that.
This is what family is. This is what Rocket League is. This is the G2 team.
Everybody wants it. G2 have forced it. Ladies and gentlemen, we have game 7.
Loser of this goes home. Winner. Searches forward to the top four.
And not that it matters so much in this context, but this is the longest series of Rocket League we have ever had online.
Which just goes to showcase...
The sheer power of mind of these six players to be offering us this level of Rocket League in this situation after so long.
Right now it's up to G2 to continue the momentum that they found at the end of Game 6 in that overtime.
and they're trying to force it.
Atomic! Shut up, target, deny!
Last chance for G2 Stride.
Lost, takes out Atomic.
Won't matter too much though, because Daniel's coming in.
Has to be another save from the side of my Furia here.
Atomic, just watches his teammate, Beesmote, coming in.
G2 Stride, starting Game 7 the better.
They've had more experience here recently.
They did lose the overtime.
Furia, of course, won Game 7 against Space Station Gaming as Beesmote.
Watches this one, has to get past Lost.
He does do that, goes forward further, Yad meets him in the centre, Yad wants to get the floor pinch, instead he fakes up Daniel merely, but Daniel didn't fall for it.
No, he did not, and right now that mental fortitude is what's going to keep G2 so strong in this period.
They're going to try and come out here with every trick in the book, anything up their sleeve, they're going to try and throw at G2, but G2 do it better.
Daniel on target!
Atomic keeps the attack going though, beast moans up, he races Yad, the Yad wins.
That wins!
Ladrofino has the goal on his side.
He's taken out by Atomic.
Lost into the middle.
Yan has no boost.
So Daniel can just pit it towards Beast Mode.
Lovely first touch from him.
Can he cut her up?
He goes forward into the corner by the Fiora in a fence.
All three of them in that corner.
It's risky.
Until Lost comes away with it.
Daniel has to win that and does.
Yan up against Beast Mode.
None of these players shying away from the spotlight.
No, right now G2 are just trying to really keep us
struggling around that hall right now.
Open up the path!
Beast Mode!
But nobody can find the angle on him, but the pressure is not going to let up there this one 50 back
It's on yet, but B-Smoder with the B-Smoder on top, nearly sideways the ball towards their own goal
He can't be risky defending from G2
Relieved to the ball gets away back to fury territory B-Smoder lost up faster
Yandt's following it up. He can get this one here and to it though
What a challenge in the air to get it as far as Traffinia lost his way to it
If he didn't get it to him, another double commit from G2's try, had to keep an eye on that.
Right now G2 looking a little bit disorganized defensively because Furia are just coming in so quickly.
But finally this is where they're comfortable on offense.
Beast Mode trying to get past one, Atomic to center.
Nobody there and said it's a clear for Furia with Deadbolt in the mid.
Atomic to slow it down, lost, sends it back.
Oh Beast Mode has done for that buy last time.
The last one at the best.
Over here set as far as Yag.
Yag can get this split, no weaker.
He is destroyed. A fury has to restock.
Less than two minutes and we are still scoreless.
This next goal means everything.
Gann over one, trying to carry it through.
He can't double it to himself.
Instead, he goes to the left and Trefino is knocked up the play.
Beast mode again around the corner.
Atomic trying to work together with him.
Can he get the shot?
It's floating, but nobody's there to take it.
Incredible work from Atomic.
And not just to get the save, but to not get the save fee.
And then to continue the counter attack.
Comes to nothing for now though.
Daniel has peace mode in front of him.
Daniel goes solo instead.
He's going to get the 100 boost.
He can get this ball, he can certainly counter up something.
He goes to the ceiling this time.
Kofini off against him, wants to make it below Kofini.
Kofini doesn't allow that one.
Lost in on position.
Yeah, that's to help him out.
I'll tell him to go to the back.
Can't quite get it.
Mill, Mill still.
I've got to give it a period.
There's been great reads, but G2 continue
to not let up on the pressure.
One minute left in regulation.
Can somebody find their lead?
Oh, yeah.
And to the center, I thought Jophenia
was basing the ball for a second.
He said he has to head back and get an awkward read.
It's a brilliant one for him, but in the circumstances.
B-Smo around the corner, lost in the near post.
Just to get dunked by B-Smo.
Another opportunity.
Daniel here leaves an atomic.
B-Smo gets the ball by an atomic.
B-Smo chasing it down.
Jophenia's challenge is so strong, so tall.
And then he wins that race, and Fury have a chance.
30 seconds left to go.
Here comes Lost around the corner.
Beast Mode takes it back.
It's low boost.
Fury are pushing forward, but G2 use everything in the tank
to keep them back.
Daniel in the air.
One end to the other.
They can win in so many different ways.
They can grind out a victory.
They can get beautiful passing plays.
But when the chips are down, who better than Beast Mode?
He is the exact player you want in that situation
To hold his nerve at all costs, G2 are going to be up against Casey later on in our semifinals.
It's not going to get any easier.
It probably won't be any quicker.
No, it's just as big of a challenge as what they just faced, but that there was any sort
of a way a series could have played out to warm them up for the most intense championship
Sunday.
What was this?
The longest series we have ever seen in like 52 minutes of total gameplay.
A massive performance, a gargantuan performance, a wildly performance, and hell!
I don't think you guys have been loud enough.
Get up, Regento!
I'm just scratching there right now.
One word of that series.
Stressful.
Just stress, just got pretty stressed.
And you guys started off with two OTs and then another one and another one and they're all over five minutes to how
Exhaustiness to play these game sevens like that. I mean, it's very exhausting man. I mean
I can't even think right now. I'm just so stressed, but
It's uh, it's very stressful, but obviously it's good for you guys because you guys like to watch it give you guys a good show
But
For you guys, we talked kind of earlier in Swiss about how you guys
South you're saying you have a little slow ramp for you guys throughout the weekend
You know, it still felt like you're working on it even yesterday
Did you guys feel that too like are we are we not quite there yet? And how do you feel now on today?
I mean, it's still quite the same. We're not feeling the best right now, obviously, but it's getting there as the tournament goes on
We keep talking about it every single match basically and we we're learning from our mistakes and stuff like that
But it's getting there.
And I think it's gotten a lot better throughout that match,
progressively.
Absolutely.
I mean, if you're going for entertainment,
you guys are doing a good job.
Now, up next, I believe you guys have KC.
My question is, do you think it's
going to be any easier or harder than the one you just
played?
I don't know.
They've been playing good.
It's going to be our first time playing them.
I've been wanting to play them since the beginning
of the season because obviously they're kind of a crazy team.
So I'm kind of excited for that.
We want to give you guys a show for that one.
But yeah, I'm just excited to play them.
And I think it's going to be quite the same if not harder.
What do you guys do now in the moment
where you have a few moments to try to carry this momentum
forward?
Is this a breather moment for you?
Or is there something you guys got
to do to make sure that this energy is carried through?
Can I say that one more time?
Sorry.
Do you guys try to take a breather
before your next series?
Or are you going to try to do something
to keep the energy high?
To mix it both, I think a breather is always needed.
But I think we're going to talk
with each other and just make sure we keep the energy high.
Because I think if you have energy,
you're just going to be really hard.
So I think we're going to mix it both and just talk to each other.
True. Hey, I want this to get louder and louder and louder.
So one more time for Beast Mode.
Their winners here.
It's G2.
The story for South America has ended
at the Rock League World Championship in 2024.
Furia, an incredible effort with their story ends here.
They put up a fight, the defensive battle across that series.
They played over 10 games of Rocka League with three incredibly long overtime.
Sturria hold their head high, this is North America's best.
It was supposed to be a team that challenges for a world championship, and they showed it here.
The perseverance after losing the BDS in 7, coming back, making the big play on Champions Field.
Yet again, G2 is still alive.
G2 is still alive, and it wasn't easy for him, Wade, so it wasn't easy at all.
Korea played an absolute great series a game plan make G2 play offense make them have to commit and then counterattack with efficiency
Yeah, played a phenomenal series every time much pristine. It was
It's it's heartbreaking a heartbreaking way for South American story to end here with it
Some of the longest RLCS land series of all time coming in at 51 minutes 39 seconds and
Incredible. Absolute gauntlet.
Is that the longest or something?
The longest on land. The longest on land.
The longest one on land.
And to have that many overtime to go to game 7 overtime,
lose basically on a kickoff goal, you want it back.
Yeah.
Although we're thinking about that game 7,
like other moments throughout that, where could we have scored?
What could we have done differently?
But again, in about a month's time, they'll look back on this
and like guys, we gave it our all.
It just wasn't RJ, but we went up against G2.
She went to Champion's Shield overtime.
What more do you want?
I mean, they couldn't have played much better.
I mean, maybe a couple more opportunistic opportunities, they could have had a couple
more chances.
They maybe could have created very a plate double-salt sensation like I said earlier.
It was great game play on both sides and all it came down to really was just a couple
tiny mistakes from both teams.
That's what separates us.
It's the little inches.
It's the small bootstrap.
One bump.
They kick off the game number seven and it doesn't go away.
Pitch in at an awkward spot.
That is what's separating these teams that are left in the World Championship.
That's what separated G2 vs. Feria, and that's why Rocket League is the greatest
eSports in the world.
Because these teams are so close.
And we talked about beast mode.
It hasn't really been the beast mode yet, but this series, one goal per game, obviously
got the kickoff goal as well to win it.
Beast mode, finally awakened.
Yeah, beast mode had finally awakened, and then, look at this, game six, this
is the first time I was at Feria actually committed, and he probably should have scored.
They messed up on the aerial.
Yeah, I think it was true.
Yeah, they messed up on the aerial, so they probably should have come away
right there.
That opened up the gates, that opened up the flowways for G2 and then score here.
Yeah, and that's an awful reform.
He's got to wait to see if it's going to bounce out or it's going to waterfall.
Yes.
Where he's got a low score and so it's all in beast most later right there.
And that's what separated two teams man.
It was a great series, great series.
I would say the difference between the two, which is a couple more chances
greater from G2.
That's about it.
And we've had two of the best series and it was both G2, BDSG2 and now
this one.
So G2, they're going to be tired.
But again, this crowd energy is going to keep G2 in it.
They're going to feed off that energy in their next match
because they're probably running on empty right now.
But the crowd will re-energize them later.
This crowd is going to go nuts when they play K-Corp later.
Our side mossing is going to be wild.
If we're running on adrenaline, we'll see how G2 does.
It's going to be an excellent time, I mean, Bates.
You've been calling it that they're going to be the champions.
And I picked them to be the champions as well.
You guys are first touch.
We're all saying this is going to be G2 holding the trophy
at the end. Didn't see them here playing Championship Sunday. How are you feeling?
I mean, I'm feeling as if they're playing pretty good and all at all fasts of the game.
But even in the Furious series, it kind of felt similar to the BDS series where G2 is
great, especially at Beast Mode, he's great in up front and nobody's there to follow.
But it makes sense though. You're playing land. You don't want to give these great teams a
counterattack opportunity, but you've got to kind of wait it. You've got to balance it.
Should atomic pre-jump, should then your pre-jump. That's what made your London
major champions. That's why when you're best in the game, they got to just get a little
bit more into that but through two days in front of the crowd I feel like the
best in the world are playing at their best. So yeah G2 plays at their best it
might not be enough they're gonna have to go beyond that so we'll just have to
see how everyone else comes out today with the nerves on championship day we
saw G2 they got it done everyone else has to do the same. I feel like I feel like
North American fans also get there. We're used to watching a G2 that is
just just like a league above everyone they're playing against when you watch
than play in North America. It feels like everything is there for pre-jumping
there. They're going for these like crazy freestyle type plays. They're just
absolutely styling on their opponents. These are the best teams in the world. And
if G2 looks a little bit awkward out there on the pitch, it's not because
they're necessarily playing poorly. It's because when two teams are at that
good goal against each other, neither of their plans work out. And it's
going to be a little bit awkward. It's going to be an improvisational game
who's able to deal with the wild situation that results of the
pinches that comes out of it and who's able to find the goals. We
We never found the goals and fortunate for the fans here G2 did, but big shout out to
Ferryman.
Huge shout out to Sam and that was, I mean, it's not the most iconic series that it would
be moist, but in my opinion that was their best series they played ever.
They pushed G2 to 7 and 1 OT goal difference and honestly in that type of form, you could
be saying Ferryman could be potentially your world champ for any day they kept
that up.
Yep.
We're going to stand back next year.
We know that they're going to probably make every major.
They are going to contend yet again.
They are close to that top four team in the world.
So they just need just a little bit more push,
and they will get finally their first grand final,
and hopefully their first major championship next year.
South America is starting to demonstrate
more and more consistency as the years go on here.
We will see Furia again.
But Bear Road, at the 2024 World Championship,
has come to an end.
We have four more matches to play.
G2 has earned a date with CarmenCore,
and the preliminary finals, the winner of that,
will play for the title of World Champion.
But before that, we got to go through our other semi-final here.
Falcons versus Oxygen, going to be our next match, Bates.
Falcons versus Oxygen, you see down there,
K-Corp took out Falcons 4-1 yesterday,
but they were all close games, just as a series you just saw on your screen,
NG2 versus Viria Falcons.
They had the league against K-Corp.
The question for them right now is whether they can withstand an Oxygen team
that is surging at the moment.
So I have an argument for four of these teams to be best in the world.
I don't have an argument for Oxygen.
They are the ultimate wildcards here.
They are not supposed to be here yet.
They're playing on the last day and they're playing with house money.
Anything can happen when the freestylers get up there with joy of doing what he does best and Archie
having the torment of his life. So don't count out.
It's going to be a wild series.
You won't want to miss it folks. We're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, the Middle East taking on the Cinderella story from Europe.
Will the surprises continue here in Fort Worth? We'll find out after the break.
They're just for the best right to work.
They're not part of the official uniform.
No tunes today?
No.
My apartment was robbed last night.
Took my cable-ready TV, VCR, portable cassette player.
Yep.
All the latest tech.
It's only progressive adrenches insurance,
like their home insurance.
Then we could bundle our cars and get
the same 24-7 protection.
I think we just invented that.
This is the best day ever.
Well, I still got robbed.
It's a pretty good day.
A rockin' professional, big part of that?
Goin' fast.
Figure out how to make your car move as quickly
as you can on the pitch.
But how do Rockley Crows handle actual speed?
I'm Wayfunk.
This is Texas Motor Speedway.
We're about to put some Rockley Crows in some very fast cars.
And I mean, very fast cars.
Can they answer questions while at speed
will fuel the Gs out there on the embankments?
Let's find out, folks.
This is hot laps.
Here's how it's going to work, folks.
It's a time truck.
Fastest lap wins.
Yet the players aren't driving the cars.
So how do they make their time go up or down?
Quite simple.
We're going to give them a category.
Players will have one lap to give us
as many correct answers of things that are in that category
as possible.
Correct answers take half a second off of their time.
Incorrect answers add half a second.
So simple as that.
Let's race.
Our first contestant, first professional player, Hoxer.
Come on in here, bud.
How you doing, man?
Pretty good.
How are you?
You feeling good here?
Amazing, actually.
How's the temperature right now in Texas for you?
The temperature is fine.
The temperature in here is not fine.
OK.
Well, it might be about to get a little hotter.
What's like the fastest you've ever gone?
The speed limit.
Well, the speed, there isn't the speed limit out here,
so we might be going a lot faster.
How on a scale of 1 to 10, how ready do you feel?
7.5.
That's a great spot, you know?
So let's go.
Let's get you in the car.
All right, let's get it.
I'm going to fall on my face.
Here we go.
Ah!
Ah!
I'm in.
I'm going to get you hooked up.
All right.
I'm safe.
Yep.
I don't want to die.
Crack the button.
I'm not going to die.
OK.
Time for the most famous words in racing.
I've been waiting a long time to say this.
Drivers, his brain's working like a well-oiled machine,
a genio.
That was fun.
I enjoyed that.
Appreciate it, man.
That was awesome.
Oh, how was that, man?
It was really fun.
Yeah?
Yeah?
Yeah, give me this.
That was sick.
OK.
That was sick.
How many do you think you got?
I don't know yet.
OK.
I think I said the same one like three times.
How fast did it feel?
Hey, man, that's how fast I go in a neighborhood.
Clearly.
I'm kidding.
Legal reasons, that is a joke.
You did a 40-second lamp.
Not too bad.
You named 15 world champions.
You named some in the straights that I couldn't read.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
So, you did at one point yell, who won season three after
already having named all three players who won season three?
Breezy from Co and Pervo.
Well, though, I guess we know.
That takes seven and a half seconds off at times.
You got a time of 32.5.
That's not bad.
Yeah.
I'll take it.
All right.
Yeah.
Get out of here.
I'm not following.
Regulations.
That's a good deal.
Next, next driver.
Get on over here, hailing all the way from Brazil,
making his NASCAR debut.
It is Brad, sir.
How you doing?
Good to see you.
What's the fastest you've ever gone?
180.
180.
180 miles an hour?
No, kilometer.
I should have known.
Herself.
All right, you ready to get in the car?
Yeah.
Let's get in the car.
You got it?
Yeah, well done.
Well done.
That was crazy.
How many players do you think you named?
We'll go cat it, we'll see how it's going to be out of the car.
We've had a little bit of time out of the car.
Would you do it again if you have any trains?
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah?
100%.
Well, you got six players named.
I don't know, it was kind of hard to tell when you were screaming in person.
Yeah.
And there were players there, but that gives you a time of 37 seconds.
How do you feel?
It's a shame, isn't it?
It was a good effort.
It was a good effort.
Well done.
All right.
We'll get them next time.
All right.
We've got one more driver here.
The final competitor of the evening, Mr.
The old man in the game. That's me. No Hawks is older than me. Okay. Okay
We've gotten three two drivers down they put up some pretty decent time so far. How fast have you gone?
I don't know use that. I like to live at a pretty slow pace. Okay, so so on a scale of scared to excited
Where are you? Oh, I mean that like absolutely excited. I can't wait. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm not gonna hold you up any longer
Let's get in the car
All right
Well, we'll get them all counted up,
get you out of the car, sit down and get it.
Obviously, for this incredibly serious competition,
it's important that we have a rigorous,
competitively integral scoring system.
So to make sure we have the best results,
we have a state-of-the-art system
of me listening to their microphone
with all of the car and wind noise at the same time,
and hoping I can hear what they say.
Is it, oh my God, a player?
All right, the official lap times are in boxer.
You had 32.5 seconds on the clock.
Mr. Brad, you had 37 seconds, if I remember correctly.
You got six corrects.
That took three seconds off of this 40-second time.
Our drivers out here, professionals,
they put down 40 seconds flat every single lap.
Com, you were scored five.
Correct answers, which means two and a half seconds off
for a time of 37.5 to come in last place, sir.
I'm so sorry.
I want to read out.
You're going to have to dig up with the racing students
That's how it works.
Congratulations on the victory, sir.
This has been HotLabs, everyone.
I hope you enjoyed it.
We're going to get back to the Rock of the League now.
They need you for practice or something.
So y'all can go.
Sounds good.
Yeah, y'all can go.
See you around, man.
See ya.
Have a good time.
I got some to take care of.
What an amazing experience.
A big thank you to NASCAR, an official sponsor and partner for bringing so many of our
players out to the fan experience of Worlds.
It was the time of my life.
Had a great time.
And, Wade, I think you're going to have the fourth best time here.
The three players should win.
And then we fuck it's in this whole town
I never got to do that and honestly when they they told me they were coming out
I was they were like oh y'all get you in the car at one point
And I was like there's that they promise things like that at shoots like that all the time that it never happened
No, that only actually got to it was really really special big shot up there
David star and his team out there for giving us a wonderfully hospitable time players had a great time
I had a great time big big sorry to come there
I'm sure I think you name it like actually like 20 but literally we didn't hear any of them
Here's what we've got at the World Championship though three matches left before our grand finals G2 has
Vanquished Furia in seven games
BDS waits for the results of our next match here chugging the Falcons are about to take on oxygen
Yeah, the Falcons did not play up to standards yesterday
They need to get make sure that gets switched up heading into today because there are a lot of teams are ready to try and run
They were missing G2. Yeah past the first stage the Falcons. They've always been an all-or-nothing team
It's either run rough shot on everybody or it all goes downhill it needs to be the former today the champions of the Middle East versus
The Cinderella story folks time for our next semi-final match
introducing first on the blue side
Representing me now. They are the finalists of the London Major
Give it up and then they won one game in the best seven
But they earned two lives because of the 3-0 stress that they had.
They are still on record pace numbers.
They are 3.12 goals per game.
The best ever at a land was 2.94.
So even though they didn't look good yesterday,
it was their first game in front of the arena crowd.
They got the nerves out.
They're on their last life.
They're ready to play.
And it is a long day ahead of them.
They are going to go the entire way.
But for a team that you look at and say, hey,
you need a 4-0 here.
You need to try and keep these matches short.
Yeah.
Falcons are certainly a team to do that.
Yeah, this is Mina's fly.
You're looking at TRK in the middle.
They're just sick of that.
They really are a great team.
They represent all of Mina and they do what pride on the chest.
And now what they're trying to do today
is they're trying to win three in a row
to become world champions.
Usually the last two-way lands even,
they only come up short in the grand finals.
But yesterday they did team a little off.
They weren't playing their usual game.
It would be interesting to see what they bring to the table today.
On the other side, a team nobody thought would be here on Championship Sunday, and yet here...
Seeing their opponents on the orange side, representing Europe,
looking to continue the most unlikely story in the history of our sports narrative.
Yes, they are here by circumstance, but they are not in the top six by circumstance.
They have a... they got the golden ticket, but they're making it count.
They are a top four offense, they are a top four defense at this event.
They belong in the top four. They have to get through foulings.
They're looking strong. Archie though has had the tournament of his life.
A player who has... we've been waiting to see step up on a land stage.
Since he entered the scene, he's finally stepped up at the most clutch moment.
I mentioned it two days ago. Archie was talking to him.
He said, this is the furthest I ever made it in a lamb.
Well, now, let me tell you something, Archie.
You're playing at the World Championship stage
with the opportunity to crack it to the top four
and wave your 100% on the money.
Archie's defense has been great.
He might be the best defender so far
throughout the whole tournament.
We have never seen Archie at this level.
He's always been disregarded at times throughout his career.
You're the third man. You're the one just to fill in the numbers.
Not today. The only numbers that he's filling in
is top of everyone's MVP votes.
He is the one that has set the tone
But you have to look around him, Oskie and Joyo.
If they will be the flair, if they can be as annoying as possible to Falcons,
then oh boy, we could be in for quite a story.
When Joyo and Oskie both get on, it's reminiscent of the liquid days of your real Oro CS fan.
But only you'll have to be watching here ago.
When Atsu and Oskie and Akrani used to take it to the sky,
and it seemed like they were unstoppable.
That's what Joyo's bringing to the table.
That's what Oskie's bringing to the table.
If Falcons deep is as great as it is, it will have to contend with that.
Killers 23 Mina MVP his twin brothers looking like a pretty good case for MVP in this tournament as long as they go far
And Archie again the furthest he has gone in a world championship one
That's supposed to be here wave, but they're here and they're playing lights out rocker league
They're playing incredibly but talcans on the other side the clear favorites
If you ask anyone on paper, they're gonna say the falcons has the favorite match here
But Falcons, they've put on the stage one time so far, Shogun.
It did not go their way.
And I'm not certain where the crowd's going to go here.
There's a lot of Falcons fans in the buildings,
but there's also a lot of Americans in the building
who just love underdog stories and who love this man here, Joyo.
I don't know.
It's going to be pretty split.
Yeah, I certainly think they agree with you.
Joyo, two years ago in this very arena,
had the most heartbreaking match of his career.
Now looks to go across against the Falcons,
who, well, there'll be no love lost
because that would just go, oh, you had some sort of bad time.
You eliminated from a London Major that we feel we deserved.
Yep, I'll tell you this, Shogun, you alluded to it.
Two years ago, he had a heartbreak.
His two teammates, his two former teammates,
they're already waiting in the pre-election finals.
Joyo wants to join them.
Let's see if he can do it.
Let's see if they can.
Let us know who you think is going to win in chat.
Hashtag FLCN, hashtag OXG depending on which side you're feeling.
Shogun, who you got?
So this match entirely comes down to one thing to me.
Can Joyo and Oskie get any space against other teams?
You might get it, like this is the Falcons.
They will be on them like a flash,
but I do feel like this is the tournament
to go with your heart, not your head.
And my heart says that Oxygen will move on
to the round of four.
Like Falcons, number one offense,
the 12 best defense here.
When they played K-Corp here yesterday,
they gave up 18 goals in five games.
Oxygen cannot score 18 goals in five games.
I don't think it's possible.
I think Falcons their offense is just too good and they will win it.
He's going with Falcons, he's going to fight a good pick.
I do believe both these quad, they think it comes down to the back line honestly.
And RG stopped the Falcons counter attack and can the Falcons get 10 with the two high flyers?
And Oskie and Droyo, I say no.
Give me oxygen right here, they're going to take out the Falcons.
They're going to beat out Nita's finest.
Wow, we have two believers here.
I mean, I was wanting, I wanted to believe in Oskie.
Snasky even leaned over as I walked by and was like who you're going with wave and I'm like I don't know
But it's the Falcons. It's gotta be the Falcons in this situation. They've had their warm-up match
This is the time when they finally end the Cinderella story. We're gonna hit midnight, but how does the coin feel?
You guys don't have to care how I feel. We care all the coin feels folks into the air battle of the greens and it
Come up oxygen here the coin believes and they make it happen folks. It's gonna be a close one
It's gonna be a battle but one story ends here
He's getting snazzy to me right now folks.
They're the favorites of Chateau.
Achtre's got the favorites there folks.
Can they make it happen against the Falcons?
This is the one.
It's the biggest day in Rocket League.
And the clock is about to strike midnight.
Stories collide and only one can continue.
The champions of the Middle East still hunting
for the ultimate prize.
The shock of forward making the most of a second prep.
It's Jolio and Archie versus the twins for your entertainment.
It's time for Bobcats versus Oxygen for top four.
It took down the major champs.
They're going to do it again here.
Buckle up!
The kings of manor in front of them.
General Mates.
Well, he dealt with them with relative ease yesterday.
Also, he's solid-priced as well.
What a story this would be if they could make it further on.
If they could make it through to top four.
Here's the grand final.
Here at Worlds.
Two demos coming out.
This game one brought to you by Progressive.
Falcons.
Of course, the Micky stops.
Oxygen already beginning their press.
You haven't really seen Falcons in their full form.
We know how impressive they are.
Outside of the Least, some grand final performances.
Joyo loves this stage though.
So, doesn't mind.
Micky's arena top six.
We saw him make the quarter finals a couple of years ago.
without moist fury and serious.
Everyone still talks about it today.
That resulting in heartbreak or joy over.
Would be different.
Now can certainly the tournament favorite in this one CJ.
Certainly.
The M&G to the top two in the world clearly coming into this world
championships will.
All of a sudden you're adding cake on to the mix as well.
You're adding BDS right there for a last with the clear.
Clear zero boost.
I'm going to be able to get back to this one if you can see the bumps coming through as well.
It's great about Archie, he really is starting to hit his strats again.
We know he's a world-class player, has been off the ball with touch, but on land he's really stepping up.
Archie in that race for our MVP.
Killers, low boost to feet on that race to the ball.
TRK, going to push that pass for us.
Like touch around, fails out, didn't want to commit too heavily.
Yeah, don't think you realize Archie had no boost there.
Oskie all he can do is touch a fourth.
Falcons in control, release with the boost.
Joyo goes down.
The 950.
You wonder if that is an indicator of the mentality
of two Falcons.
Killers doesn't get a touch.
Just a 50 again.
Oacin, Falcons starting to clamp down on this offense.
Jump on the left!
You look like two players from Archie
can jump on this shot.
TRK reading it beautifully.
Joyo has come off the back wall.
Oskie jumped early, didn't have much boost.
Really smart read from TRK, putting that underneath
and behind Joyo, who was freaking it for the save.
Now, I think it's getting a reward for that offense.
Get the first on the board.
TRK now.
Trusker left wall.
That was Mr. Tachos.
He's going to fire it on there.
Killers.
And he catch this one.
Grab, support, and boost as well.
Off the ceiling.
Let's get a reset.
He's looking for a bump, though.
Doesn't land it.
Oskie behind.
But a dead force.
Weston, I feel clear.
From Oxygen, Joyo has cleared off the line, demoed at the midfield by Oskie.
He's got boost as well. Joyo also boosts it up, but a strong 50 from Roas.
Slows down the attack from Oxygen.
Actually, out of the 100, he's been dusted by TRK, he can get one more.
It is two in a minute, it's up for Roas.
His killers, pass the back off as well. Joyo now.
What is he got in the locker? One more, and it's just touched away by TRK.
Oxygen still pushing. Oskie will go for the infield, it's back to Joyo.
Double community defense with Valkyrie. Archie up.
Just to find top corner. Rolash was ready.
And after you, you can see everyone low.
13,000 killers. Just getting a quarter boost.
Alex, some blue shots to take it.
I'll get around one.
You keep this thong.
TRK, popping it across.
Archie catching with space as Rolash pre-jumping underneath.
100 boost for him. TRK beating Joryo.
Gets bumped off it.
It's Oskine out last.
Working his way to the back corner.
Gets around one.
Watch the ball, Occi and as well.
TRK, big time challenge there.
The loss looking to carry this past the midfield.
Beats the ball, was Killer's Occi also getting a hand into it,
passing into the middle.
The shot will be off target rebound though, is there.
Occi just gets really wonky in that accuracy.
They've had a couple of good chances.
That's an off pass to Occi.
He's going to get the break, labor loss.
Touch it at the back wall, all put up there,
hands it off to killers 58 midfielder
also just really yet to have that sustained offense about a couple of
decent chances I think you're deadly yet Archie so I won't double misses
he went to get towards himself challenge has been fantastic in there
they got a kid going like Falcons are under the plum I can feel in the
pressure they have to be perfect on rotations
killers pick up small pads waiting for a time to go in to our hands to boom it
Cause he's empty. Our killer's moving in.
Trying to force the ball out of Joyo.
Gets a touchdown. Oskie is there going for the backboard.
Roas first touch and now second touch off the back wall.
We'll try to take this out of the 50 tips right back to Joyo.
Who tries to possess.
Crossfade as well on the TRK.
You can see the bumps coming through.
He lands one.
Shot doesn't get the bump on to Archie up as well.
He's trying to pop it across.
Vigil!
They're back in this one.
20 seconds left.
Can they steal game?
One Oxygen, TRK wins the kickoff, launches it downfield, Oxygen's back half after the
pen, look for the clear this time.
Rolax, late underneath, he's going to have space, Joyo tries to charge, he's going to
fake, he's going to buy time for his team.
Rolax zero, loses the bump, it's Joyo, isn't going to be some late magic in game
one, trying to get the pop, it's over one, the ball hits the ground.
Over time, the game continues.
Killers, the side.
Got Bill Roas lands a demo.
TRK loses the ball.
Joyo, not much to lose to work with him.
He'll pass.
Oskie couldn't control it.
Things looking shaky.
There's the buff.
There's the shot saved by Archie.
Hasn't his defense been impeccable?
You look back to the split stage
where he was an absolute breath wall,
getting eight saves in a single game.
Huge miss, Archie's gonna have to come up clutch in.
He gets saved up hot team to bomb like that
and Judo's back just.
Team Hopkins wanted to go for that lead bump play.
The attacker moving up to bump that demo.
Throw a wrench into Team Hopkins' plan.
Now Oxygen on the other end.
TRK, half over to Killers.
The reception by Killers.
50, kills it to the middle.
The delayed shot was not trying to 50 this one out.
TRK looking for a shot
and he's denied up to the corner.
Yeah, really smart for Mulski.
They just have to get himself in the way of the ball. Low boost still though.
Oxygen in big trouble. Oskie in there.
Re-set. Backbottom shot. And get it.
Stoio across.
Team Falcons. Starting to wear down Oxygen.
Oxygen need to find some boost, but they're finding it.
Oskie from Archie. He can't get a double as well.
Blocked out. It's Stoio up. Has one to beat.
Just has to fire it on there. Goes himself up and back.
Four killers back in time.
There was a chance for Oxygen, but they didn't go quick enough.
Still on the attack. Blocked out.
Still like Boosteroom, Falcons, it's popped up the backbomb, TRK the only one we boost, just trying to buy time, but he's lost the 50, Killers has 0, Archie in his role, Oxygen so many chances.
Multiple moments you're seeing team Falcons have 0's across the board in the boost category.
Oxygen, some big swings of the roll but couldn't make contact.
Falcons looking in trouble right now, just roll ass through the 100, hits a touch, trying to get it done, does manage to do so Archie.
Touch rotation, turns in third man with the 50 TRK up.
9-1 from Oxy and they just act off a touch here.
Joyo misses a double as well.
Three balls for the Falcons.
Mosky.
Touch over the corner, has to kick it into reverse.
He's hooked off the ball, hands by Rwass.
Now Rwass will have to retreat back.
Killers first time control on his own back wall.
Rwass TRK TRK.
Couldn't get back to it, Archie. It's speed on the challenge.
Sorry about three hours of overtime to the first series.
Is this what today's going to be? Just an overtime BS stuff.
You can see Oskie racing at that mid boost, loses to 50.
Joyo should have a free clear. No, it's blocked out.
TRK in there. Archie with a nice redirect, but it's straight to kill us.
You can see TRK turning. Archie with a 50.
Joyo wants now filled. Moe Boosto, the shot.
It's got to be wide. Oskie wants in.
Over to TRK this time. Oskie now fires.
Rolast just pops it for support and the support arrives.
Joyo did well to get such a good shot on target, forcing Team Falcon to do a tough spot.
There's been a tug of war in this overtime.
That shot on target!
And it was out of nowhere as well, Archie!
He just fakes the touch.
For all our spots, the demo.
McHugh is just crept.
He's pushed up.
Thinking his teammate, thinking his twin had the touch.
Oxygen.
They were 20 seconds away from dropping Game 1.
They forced OT and they get the job done.
And I think that demo really confused team Falcons after the demo
Maybe just distracted killers, but there was no hesitation on the shot from oxygen
They made the most of that moment after the demo just shooting it right on target 15 shots to five as well for oxygen
That is so rare when you're playing team Falcons to have triple their shots
They did manage to make 12 saves team Falcons
it was all lost and they deserved that one with the pressure they had.
They got the award in the end.
As we glance across at the M1 high performance replay,
I mean, it must show the nerves of Falcons.
When you're only getting five shots, they are one of the most offensive,
one of the most aggressive teams in the world, if not the most.
And they haven't managed to fire in the first game.
And even in their last to kick-corp,
we saw team Falcons put up those offensive numbers.
So now you wonder, if you're going to be able to continue to find that offensively,
it seemed like nothing was really getting going. Archie had a really big save in that game.
He continues his fantastic defensive performance.
I mean, he has just risen to another level. We often laugh about him, perhaps not playing the game as much as an issue,
perhaps not practicing as much. I don't know what he's been doing, but those hours must have tripled.
Because he is on fire. Joyo over the top, off the kickoff.
He was trying to catch it. Oskie throws himself.
Now he's still looking a lot more awkward than they usually are.
Did Roulash with a touch?
I'm going to be able to reset on them. Pop over the top.
Oskie there in time. Oskie just certainly looking more comfortable at the moment.
Oxygen. Looks like they believe.
They believe in themselves and the team.
Let's catch. Great catch from Joyo. Gets it around one as well.
Try us to pre-flip. Perhaps get it done.
Roulash is ready for that. Clear downfield.
Oskie pre-jumping, Oskie so quick up, he's gonna hit it off to Archie.
We shot though.
Falcons, forget to the other end, TRK.
And not evil.
Control that ball perfectly.
50, back to TRK, clicks up.
Oskie first there.
Archie, bumped off the play.
That's Archosky, great touch, kill is up so quick though.
He had low boost for a last cycle, 100.
Archie has to go, gets a touch as he always seems to do in defense.
because we're still in there Archie again low push just pops it out the fate
comes through sets it up for a while joyo pre-jump a joyo miss
it was such a difficult read for joyo to make joyo not much boost had to jump
right away you can see him trying to get control of his car trying to make
that read but well lost did well to get it around him yeah he recognized the
score he recognized the gap in the defense Sydney James he saw that the
backboard was free and he made the most of it tough read for joyo to
First go on the board, it didn't work out last game though, and they did strike first to the crowd, here goes Joyo
wants to get one back straight away with a reset, blocked out by TRK, also key up as well.
Beast on around the corner, everyone from Falkens in the front post, it's all performing.
Cut rotation, got through for Alwas, was huge.
Killers, they passed.
Gonna work with TRK, now it's back to Alwas, first touch, a lot for Alwas to continue.
50 at the midfield. Killers lose it. Heavy first touch.
The Joyo pops it over him. Now Joyo's trying to make the play.
TRK no boost. Great challenge though.
Oskie in as well. It's the low 50.
Linda's Archie on a bite on this. He's going to wait.
He's got 100 boosts. He's been popped over the top by Killers.
Who has zero. So does TRK. Just relax him behind with 100.
The shot is wide. He's in fact passing it across to TRK.
Who does get a round one. Archie with the clear. Only to relax.
It's a nice challenge from Joyo, Rouros underneath.
Oh!
Hard to approach.
Ah, she was so quick on it.
That's a go-fast.
Oh, he gets it, Rouros.
The wall dash.
Going to get back up to the ball, doing so much work on that play.
TRK has Rouros waiting on the wall, but Oskie again there,
oxygen multiple times, making those reeds on what Team Falcons
are trying to do and getting there first to shut down the play.
to shut down the play.
They're just giving him no time on the solo plays, no time at all.
You know that Coach Snasky would have been speaking about that.
Do not get these guys comfortable.
Do not give them time in the air.
And that's a huge mistake.
Archie just did not see TRK coming.
Frozen like a deer in the headlights.
Archie turning in no man's land.
TRK punches in an easy second goal for Team Falcons.
You've always got to check your blind spot, James.
This is the number one rule in driving.
He doesn't do it there, Archie.
Gets punished for it.
That's a nice dunk from our last in a get-back.
They want two killers.
The fake comes through.
Cholio up so quick.
They're looking good.
And TRK, ceiling gets the reset.
Fakes a line under Archie.
Low touch, Oskie ready.
Great positioning for Oskie to cover all options there.
The well-play shot from TRK.
50, picking out Miller's handbrake turn.
CRK, 38.
Checked, Oscar, he doesn't get a touch. Joyo in though. This is this midfield game. This pressure has been
really strong for Oxygen, unfortunately having let down a couple of times.
Killers, he gets open space. Aren't you winning that race? He's on corner boost.
That's fast.
Oscar, takes it up, gets around, Rolace has been bumped by Bo Boos Falcons.
Oscar, do you want to make a comeback? They've got to go now. Just over a minute. Archie turns,
Joss Spahn the infield does get heavy and uptouch.
Oskar Yiddish well done.
If you get one more on the top, killers raise it.
Killers.
Big stop.
Roas.
Didn't even jump into that challenge, looking perhaps
for a demo on his way out.
D'Argaix, doing the corner but Archie has a ton of boost.
Oskie though, beaten out by killers.
Wins it down for Roas.
Roas, just enough to get a tip on the ball.
Rebound out and the little skip from Roas
to finish that goal for Team Falcons.
And he needed that touch as well.
He needed to help that one.
It's so smart for him to get in the dunk.
And TRK drops it on his head.
Falcon's 3-0.
Trouble now for Oxygen and Gator.
And we've seen that play a couple times
at this world championship, where you just took that shot.
Your low boost is sitting in front of that.
You linger for a moment to see if you can be up some use.
Ross making the most of his position in there
to secure that goal for Team Falcons.
and it looks like game two as a whole.
Throwing those up as well.
They've just got to go now off the gym.
Perhaps some momentum, if anything, going into game three.
This is all but tied up this series.
Great response from Falkens.
She's interested to see the stat line.
I think this is well received.
That pressure has increased.
Certainly able to mount more shots.
Sachi low boost.
Let's get a pop over the top.
10 seconds left.
Falkens clean sheet will do wonders for their confidence.
I think Malkin's why not have another to the board?
They are making a statement game to CJ.
And see the pressure as well from four oxygen.
They will be filling off that.
That was a dominant game too.
Five seconds.
See anything crazy, any kickoff strats?
Might be practice here for the next game.
Joyo, maybe one back goes to the musty.
Doesn't make it.
Let's get it to work.
Oskie, double reset, blocked out, briefly comes through.
That's like chaos.
We have all Instagram and Falcons tied up.
Team Falcons right to ship.
And even game one, I'm sure they're thinking,
could have had that one as well.
Oxygen Esports scoring in the final 20 seconds of game one.
Pulling out that victory, but game two,
a different story altogether.
Oxygen Esports not able to put a single goal up
on the board.
Meanwhile, Team Falcons, they were smothering Oxygen's
defense. Yeah, nine shots nearly doubling their tally from game number one
Falcons. That was a huge factor and oxygen. Seven shots that game, James.
At 15 in the first, they just didn't find that similar level of offense and
really low scores across the board for them. Team Falcons must be feeling
confident after that performance and it's just crazy CG again to think
that were in the situation. Team Falcons battling against Oxygen Esports for the top four. Team
Falcons, the tournament favorite, everyone expected to make it at least to the top four
and likely the grand finals going up against a team that is only here because the Mina
number two seed couldn't make it to the events. It's an insane story. It is crazy
to think that really a couple weeks ago they didn't even know they were going to
be here but here they are right now and they're looking in fine form they've got
to respond off that game though. It's falcons when they do hit full flight. I
don't think there's many teams if any that can stop them. Playing with house
money is oxygen e-sports but it looks like Tim Falcons, great problem blind.
It's crazy from Archie, he can. Crazy save, he defense, hop off the joy note.
T-R-K just gets the clear. For a while, has he missed his attachment? Well, as the
They stick together, Kalia's right underneath.
CYK pops it across, he's Roas, gotta wait for Joyo's touch.
Back to let him go, Joyo's got round two,
and they pop out as well.
Oskie wants in, once the 50, straight to TRK,
straight to Killis, it's almost like a dissent play.
Just off the side again.
So close to being a damaging counter-attack for Falcons.
It was there.
That play narrowly missing out.
The loss.
Sees the gentleman in the midfield.
Killers waiting off the ceiling and down.
Open net for Killers!
Just the perfect 50 in the corner
and Oxygen not wanting to ex-arm again
as soon as the demo came through.
Joyo just didn't want to be left on the roll.
He didn't want to be left oscillated.
He blew himself at it and lost that one.
He put so much pressure on Joyo.
You have to kill that ball in a spot.
Can you get enough time for that respawning player?
1-0 down again, Offside get to score first in any game so far in the series.
Killers, they rotate back as Joyo gets to 50.
It's at the touch, it's very open, he's back!
Offside just stopped and he's filled the opening!
And his puck on the back wall, you can see it again, Joyo!
With the wall dash, knocking that player off.
And Oskie says thank you very much.
Just been a couple of times where Falcons have looked shaky.
Couple of times where their defense hasn't been as crisp as perhaps we expect.
That time, Oskie was ready for it.
Giorgio nice touch with the control as well. Pops it over.
And then she gets a fast PRK. Archie.
Giorgio's there with the pre-point.
Nearly worries Rolase out of that one.
Rolase, confident on that play.
Diving the bomb.
But now, Archie can interact it again.
He said Archie doesn't get it, Joyo right here as well, pop over, double commit Falcons.
It is, again, Auburn's defense, some of the most clinical, but exactly what you'd want if you were a coach.
That's 50 though from Killers, just launches it down the orange half. Joyo's going to take it up, 100 boost.
And he gets to work now off the road, three back for Falcons, has a reset, uses two, gets to the 50.
Oskie in as well, walked out this time, Killers up, just trying to get it to that corner.
to preserve boost as well beats the first defender beats the second defender
from TRK TRK also doing that touch trying to slow down this breakdown from oxygen
every set from joyo tips softly to see joyo maybe even messing up oski there on that approach
see okay he's accidentally fiftieth backwards kill us doesn't want it he's got 25 see okay
Okay guys, I'll help you out.
Joyo now with the touch, zero boost for him.
Oskie, quite ready to launch it downfield,
has to take the 50 inch stand,
but Joyo cuts rotation.
He doesn't care, worry about boost at all.
Throw us up, pinch off the backboard.
It's okay, pop in.
Now it gets transitioning, Archie clearing.
Joyo now downfield.
Throw us, picks up the mid.
Killers also, boosted up now.
Go after the ball, reset.
50 attempt under the corner, will steal the corner as well.
850, Joy-O-L up, and out-pace as well.
Killers has to go underneath, Dusted Archie that side, Moski backs off, has to, needs support, needs reinforcements, finds it through the side wall.
Needs it around one, Rolas, has to back off, Killers just launches it, downfield, zero-foot, Joy-O-L is off the ceiling, he's read it.
Roas, justice, ready for that one, there's a shot, nice fake Archie, just sits himself in there, what we so often see.
Demo as well, Joyo, again, Kasky moves in, goes for the bop but still, the tip is there, TRK up off the ceiling, Roas, he's trying to get the demo, it's up, getting a tip back.
That's so smart, he knew he couldn't get a touch, he grabbed boosters there and this is why Oxygen are in massive trouble, Roas with the shot blocked out by Archie.
No boost for anyone on Oxygen. 23 to tank across the board.
Killers up. Great touch for Oskie. It's desperate now.
They just need to find some boost.
That's so in through the midfield. 50 again.
Oskie up. Marches it back. They're just trying to reset themselves here, Oxygen.
TRK setting it up to the sidebar. Killers waiting for a chance now.
Will leave the play.
The loss dives in.
The Demons came through with chaos in the midfield.
Vivek is good to aggressive, Archie go clean off the map.
Binozki wasn't worried about that one.
Seats offfield, gets the Reiterate and the lead.
Stretching out his fingertips to get a piece of that ball.
It looked like he was going to be too far away, but perfect contact from Oskie.
What a Falcons hat now, Archie with a touch, C.R.K. has to go, 15 seconds, counting down on the clock now.
It's Roas, has to leave it, it's going to be Archie, he's just flying as much time as he can.
He's just playing with this Falcons defense, can Oxygen regain the lead in the series.
Oxygen gets around one, gets around two, they don't get the goal of it.
But if they can just find the ground, they'll be able to take the two-one win.
How far can they go? How many upsets can they make happen?
This is a team that didn't even make it out of the Swiss stage in London.
Not even making top eight now on the verge of being top four at the World Championship.
It would be one of the stories, not only Rock-A-League eSports, but eSports in general,
in general if these guys can get all the way, can make it all the way to the finals and to get
a win here to get into the top four over team Falcons would be just about, I'd say easily
the biggest win of these guys career. I know that we're not career but of this team's career
even though that did take down Jenna Mates yesterday.
Unbelievable stuff. Oxygen also taking out the reigning world champion.
It seems to be a miracle run shaping up, but the one game that Team Falcons did win, it was a decisive victory, CJ.
It was indeed, as you can see, Snasky, coach of Oxygen, just running them through their paces.
He wasn't about to play himself back in the day on Snasky, but let's see what he's got in store.
It's all about the mind games now, it's all about the mentality, and we do get the time out sponsored by NASCAR.
Team Falcons calling this timeout
And what do you make of it CJ timeout before that match point?
Potentially trying to stop oxygen much earlier. I mean you saw in game number one
Oxygen getting triple the shots of Falcons game two though. I would have grabbed that midfield dominant
So I would have get their pressure but
still lacking
Lacking that consistency
We spoke to even TRK in a post-game interview when they do have so much pressure.
How do you keep your head? How do you not drop your bundle and perhaps create an opening down the other end?
At the time they were called karma collected that we just all elapsed in concentration with that Oskie redirect
We saw a demo and they just lost their positioning for a second
And Oskie was able to punish. I think that just goes to show how good this oxygen defense
Really is how tough they are to beat even in the losses
Take a court team fountain still able to find the back of the net a healthy amount but this time
Against oxygen that last game
We don't know what that was talking about James, but it certainly wasn't a kickoff
Already kind of kickoff strategy because they've been absolutely done man three seconds in one-hour oxygen all smiles from oski as well on the player can
What the Falcons have now?
Rolas on the TRK.
Could be the perfect response.
Oh, no!
Just goes for the 50.
You see him immediately shaping or changing his card.
Air rolling to make it as big as possible.
Perfect dunk.
We've been raving about Archie's defense,
but that's a touch that he bought back.
He had the free clear to the corner,
but just didn't quite read the touch in the end.
Just pops it straight into TRK.
And maybe the another one!
Rolas straight away off the kickoff.
the kickoff 19 seconds change we've got three goals I guess we found all those
goals that team Falcons were waiting for we're not even 20 seconds in CV this
is chaos I don't want them to talk about the timeout for both sides but it
just was not defense one bit but last nice 50 aren't you asked to track back
I'll ski to leave you that one you wasn't gonna be able to get a touch on
Kalees pops it up. Oh, that's so quick in the air.
Oskie has to reach. You just get a 50 on it.
See, okay, 40 boost.
And you get another duck. It's Archie.
And then again, he's landed. He's drifted.
He's found another touch. Straight to Kalees, though.
Archie, trying to bring it into a dribble.
Flex it over one. Steals the corner.
Over the loss. Around everyone.
Wings it towards Nett.
Oskie will grab it.
Trying to get it out of his own half,
but he's stopped by Killers.
Yeah, Stratifers and he's got a dunk as well. Double kill to Alcatraz, they still want in.
Roll us the, just got to keep it, just got to buy enough time to create a passing option.
That's a solo play himself. Runs out of boost for the end.
Killers, side wall with 50. Nice dunk. Throw a TRK up quick.
Gets a dunk as well. They're in trouble here, Oxygen. They're holding on.
Demos coming through. Aren't you trying to find a counterattack around one? They're throwing themselves.
To Roll us now.
Roll us, controlling it beautifully off the ceiling.
And off to the side, Killers, on the side while Joio will take an airborne late reset.
Double reset!
Put the connect up, he's so clean when he gets that one to work with low boost.
Rolace doesn't get the top, Killers throws himself.
No boost for him, Rolace is stolen that corner.
Stolen that corner off Oskie.
How that play out in the meantime, down the other end with a bomb, Archie goes low
50, the bomb doesn't land.
Joyo up wedges the ball but it goes wide goes
Not in fact the direction that he might have wanted Archie up from behind
There's that blind spot what a redirect what a double it's the wasky joyo's not there the challenge from behind right here
Okay, it's the defensive double but Joyo is able to stop him anyway
There's the two days for the first touch bit of work down. He got a great 50 got a second off the backboard Archie so quick in the air
That's better from oxygen get reward for that effort in the offense
Kickoff 1 by Falcons.
Archie, didn't get the second time.
It's still a real e-trap win.
And that shot from Roas.
Teed up by DRK, LaVina MVP.
Again, Port Lears in defense for Oxygen, a proven costly.
They need to clear the space.
They need to give their teammates enough time to rotate back.
They're just putting it straight on the bonnet of Falcons.
It's the exact spot where they love it.
Roll us up, more 50s coming through. They really had gone for these air dribble 50 plays, Falcons.
And then successful so far, hurting them three goals, Joyola.
Let's get the rest of them, fakes on the 1, he won it on Pope, he has to go on Pope!
Steve Roos not sure what was going to happen if it was going to be a ground pinch.
Couldn't make that read.
Fusion, Joyo-Cars was enough.
He's got the superstar buff, James.
The other team are just so worried about what it could do. Even when he had zero, they didn't realize they thought he might hit a quadruple set on him.
In the end, he's faked everyone.
Ties it up, Falcons want one back.
This is a style of game that Falcons do enjoy though. High-scoring.
They happen to concede if it means they're able to score down the other end and that's a great pass to TRK.
And there you go!
Change in blow after blow!
Killers!
A beautiful touch up TRK!
Blaying the ball and finding it.
And Killers did enough.
As I said, you feel like Oxygen are that more structured team.
They prefer...
more of the structure game around the league whereas Falcons, this is messy, this is chaotic,
this is aggressive, and it's right in their wheelhouse, 4-3. Just under two minutes left,
but every time Austin is fed a response, and you join, get one back, goes double,
red by Rewas, cleared across, Austin!
It's what kicked it out into the middle.
Joyo is breaking down that team Falcons defense, generating a shot opportunity for his team.
We've got ourselves again, it's funny what an early kickoff goal can do.
It just throws everyone into a loop, everyone into a spin.
Since then, seven goals on the board.
After that first kickoff goal, and Archie's got an opening.
Archie's got a gap.
He has seen Pops and he had no boost to relax with the clear.
Follow up.
This time, Archie's still looking dangerous, looking for Pops.
TRK has Kalees on the left.
If he wants to find it, he's faked everyone!
The Oskie and Archie both.
Solo three moves for Archie.
Zero for Oskie.
He's pulled out the reverse, Carl on Joyo.
We've done the exact same thing down the other end.
Faking two.
Falcons with the lead.
It's under 70 seconds left.
Team Falcons.
And that's one goal lead.
Will they be able to hang on to it?
Tie up the series.
Oh.
That's my Josky.
He's got a lot of power off that.
With a low boost he had.
Nice shot Archie.
Red this time.
T-R-K ready for that.
His killers to 50.
Joyo scoops up that mid-hundred.
conditioning awkward at the moment or oxygen that's not a great touch from Archie
it's not a great touch at all but Falcons this time not ready for it
Oasis on the side wall now gets the pop over Archie dead two plays from Archie
and it still is in the best position now and that's what's gonna happen if you leave it on
that pinch almost rightfully into the Oxygen Esports net
these boards have 30 seconds left to tie things up
Roas, hopes to pass down and to cross the field. Killers leaves the play to pick up that mid-boost and the corner.
This is all you need to do now for Falcon. It's all you need to do as solo play by time.
But Oxygen, they don't want none of that. Archie up the ceiling, Roas meets him.
Oskie here, 10 seconds. Oxygen got to go right now. They find the demo. There's got to be a gap.
Oskie's on the left. He's down the bump. Oskie with the fate. Does it get ran?
and Jojo over the top, Olaiachi no!
Falcons tie it up!
A bit chaotic at the end, but Team Falcons did enough.
TRK scoring a hat trick and that high impact goal that he made,
the reset, challenging in the air going with that low 50,
that was the defining player of the game for me, CJ.
something about Utopia Colosseum and Archie sitting in net to really miss as well as well.
He's had eight saves previously on this map. He had six saves that game but it wasn't enough.
Falcons putting five home on the board. Thirteen shots as well.
Gio, three assists. You can see never giving up on the play. Always going for that actual
little touch. Paying dividends in this game but in the end it was this play.
the reset into the wave dash low 50. TRK showing everybody why he is that meaner MVP.
A couple of mis touches in defense that's the positive for oxygen their simple
mistakes they can tidy up they just need to be a little bit more cautious about
where they're clearing the ball. They're giving their teammates enough
space enough time to get back. It's a couple of times it was Archie just
with a poor clear. I know he had six saves, but it's all well and good saving it.
James, if you put it straight back to a member of Valkyrie, you're in a lot of trouble too.
Now we head to game five. Let's go. Killers, wait, reset. Rebound up to Rwass.
His touch goes wide. Without boost, we'll have to rotate back. Archie taking over in the air.
Mosky looking for a demo, but you can see Rwass kicking it to reverse to dodge it.
Falcons would have been stroked to how that last game panned out with that aggressive, with that offense shown.
Aggressive offense.
Oxygen, we want to try and settle things down a bit. We want to back down the hatches a bit more in defense.
You don't want to get 75 goals in a game or on the lead. You're probably not winning many of those.
Pro us up with boost.
Oski backboard, drops it down. Not the best touch from him. Does get the dunk on the go.
Falcons weren't ready for it. It's towards the mid. And he's fighting him too!
No! Distance of the field getting the dunk chasing down this fall and securing the first
goal of Game 5 for Oxygen.
It was a massive mistake from TRK.
He just went mid-boost.
Get a breather dunk coming in.
You've always got to worry.
I bet Oskie coming off this healing.
Now he's going again for a while.
Zero-boost gets out.
TRK just keeping that ball in for Falcons.
They are low-boost though.
I'm going to scoop up something now.
Oskie up, ceiling, Oskie again, gets a reset,
gets another reset.
He's trying to click on the key through a meter.
Doesn't get it there though.
Oskie doing everything on that play.
But TRK, maches up the defense.
I was expecting a stop here, CJ.
He put himself in the spin cycle as well.
It wasn't a conventional air dribble.
But they just had no idea where that ball was going
to touch to the right through too good.
One one kickoff your pretty fucking killers was trying to line up that shot
But got blocked off the line. It's so good from oski. It gives us your 1v1
He's popped it early challenge comes through
You up again
That's just to the backboard relax as time to clear has no boost though
Not that his joy. I just pops us straight in the lap of killers launches it downfield oski. You get the touch
CRK look at the control this one
The control by TRK making multiple defenders miss, making everyone miss.
Killers tries to get around it but you can see that touch but it wasn't enough.
The follow up shot comes through and the follow up shot was said to have made a perfect
from Roas.
He had to find his inmate but he pumps the bar down around two, two one falcons.
TRK slicing and dicing up that defense.
He's really starting to get to work and has another chance here off the kickoff with a hundred.
Archie gets the 50, tries to sit behind it. Accidentally does a handstand.
Killers. No boost with the 50. Straight in the lap.
And TRK, Joyo up so quick. There's the challenges we need to see again.
Proxies you know were so successful earlier. Just giving them no time when you do give Falcons time.
You're in a lot of trouble. TRK with the clear. Over to Joyo.
Dry out perhaps not the best first touch
Now a loss that challenge
The slow reception from killers that is twitter G
And he's just completely done them in that as well completely face down Archie
What's it only a fan side they get the two goal lead just over half the game let's hear game five
Win this and you're on match point
surgical from the twins
TRK getting that ball into the mid and then the control by Killers not rushing the play
Falcons, let's be getting in their groove
It's nice from Killers Archie up needs to get to Vines 2. Oskie waits now feel great trust from him
Only did it for him while so Archie drives on that bomb, comes through saves the flip TRK
We're scary for a moment. They still want to defend. It's great pass down. Great shot!
Oskie
He has been something out, you can see him hit the brakes.
Get that pass down into the middle of the shot, coming right before the demo.
Just in the nick of time.
An Oxygen move just within one.
Still two minutes though, you don't need to get panicky here, Oxygen.
Have plenty of time to build a play for us.
Look at me control this one, Oskie's backing off.
He's going to challenge first, he's going to be Archie, turns on him.
He was underneath after trolled the midfield pretty well these challenges
I like to see from oxygen and really getting in the face of Falcons
Just got to put a hand up straight away and see again. Joy draws himself. Yes, they fight though
It's the worst thing you can do against Falcons. Oh, you just cannot get fates first man
So we're wise you see it's this first 50 no one even makes contact people didn't know what was gonna do
We're lost still stays in the plane lands immediately goes into buff mode
Joryo just had to force that high here. He knew he had supported behind off the kickoff though.
They might have faked everyone. All Astros himself saves a second flip.
Falkins 90 seconds to move on to match point.
Oxygen trying their hardest to stop that.
TRK up, shot on net and gets it from Orochi.
TRK has been brilliant picking his spots.
TRK again seeing the defense high. RGI on the back wall.
Gets that shot low.
3 goal lead now just under 90 seconds is looking to die for Oxygen.
If there are any Oxygen supporters in the building G2 they did not need to win game 5 to take that previous series let's see.
Now this one's going to play out. Killers make a touches back. He's faked it for TRK and he's just wanted a bar down.
6 goals for Falcon.
Game 5 it's a runaway game.
TRK off the bar reads the bounce.
But again, I love that play also set up by killers.
He's not rushing these touches, not playing panicked.
Receives the ball calmly, popped that up.
Really, that led to the opportunity for Team Falcons.
And feel pat now for Oxygen.
The shot didn't have enough pace.
Easily saved there by Team Falcons
as we hit this final minute of game five.
I know that Oxygen might be too concerned.
Obviously, they're still alive for us.
They'll be pretty concerned, that's a lie.
but conceding 11 goals now James in two games.
What does that do to the moments of the confidence?
How do they stop this?
Even though they were able to put four on the board
previously, the previous game, this isn't sustainable.
You cannot be conceding this much against this team
that just got to keep putting you away.
Seems like Falcons perhaps have figured out oxygen,
at least on defense, hard-keeling pass.
We'll kick off the scene again, Harski passing to the middle, but Roas had the first read and gets up another seat by T.R.K.
The support comes through, that was a big chaotic season.
I think we just played pinball for a moment there.
Killis fakes it out, Joyo reads it, five seconds left.
It's going to be a four goal victory through Falcons.
It's going to be Falcons moving on a match point and it's going to be putting oxygen.
One game away from going out of this tournament.
Team Falcons! They are now on match point. They are looking to make it through to fight
Team EDS for a spot in the grand final. They just haven't managed to stop, to
stem the flow, stem this offense, stop the bleeding that we've seen in defense
from Oxygen. Falcons just feel like they've cranked it up in
It feels like they found another level.
Oxygen get to meet it all find a way to counter this new style of this new gear that the Falcons have found.
And it started out with an Oxygen lead, Oskie with that big dunk high chasing the ball all the way down the field getting that goal.
But then you see Killers doing so much work this game.
That perfect bar down and then shot TRK again putting up the numbers another hat trick for TRK even that play Ross
Slice and a Dyson through the corner
team Falcons
They seem to be able to make those reeds now based on oxygen's positioning
And they're trusting their read on their boost levels as well
And then the confidence from killers multiple times to slow the pace
and they he was able to get oxygen to dive in and make the place for now we see
a timeout home by Team Oxygen as they try to slow Team Falcons down and find a
response to this runaway offense. As we all take a breath here in Biggie's arena
see what Oxygen having store is it gonna be one of those days that this
Eastport can do so often. Game 7s everywhere we're one away from another
We just had the longest series in land history in our first match of the day.
This one's one away from going the distance, but it's up to Oxygen now.
The balls in their court, Falcons, they've showed their hand.
They've stepped it up. Let's see what Oxygen can do.
Oxygen. They're on a Cinderella run right now.
But they are on the brink.
Team Falcons diving in, trying to push them off and end their tournament run.
Team Falcons, they are the favorite in this match-up.
The underdogs, Oxygen Ageports down to their last life.
It's a Cinderella run, they got to get their dancing shoes on and get going here, Oxygen.
Here we go, JoJo, straight away off the ceiling. This is a nice start.
It's a great reset, played down this time around last week.
Bakker's defense has also gone up. It's not just their offense, but the pressure immediately for oxygen.
Aske, putting a shot on, TRK here dribbles it out, lands on the corner as well, and tries to cut across the goal line.
That should be a goal, and it is!
It's Ritz Ruppi from the last two games, and it's just Bakker's with so much pressure.
What a shot, what placement there!
From Geron last, Obstin not shoot, puts it wide off the side.
And both defenders, they don't, they were thinking we have to block this shot from a loss.
That's all we needed, we just needed someone to bite, and that's nearly rolling straight in.
Oh, Joyo was worried about it.
That could have just been game set match right there.
Killers.
In the backport, getting help from TRK.
Joyo, 50 attempts.
His 50's having quite good when he's continued on in the play.
Generated quite a few goals for Oxygen in this series.
Joyo, 50.
Roas stays on it.
What happened there?
Roas!
Level five, there's only one back.
He just has to get the ball for Roas.
Go to 50.
This man is too close for both.
And get the save.
Roas!
The magician!
But Tim Falkins, they're not out of it just yet.
They passed you over.
That's what RG, RG, shut down by Roas.
Roas so quick, Joio didn't even go for the shot at me
and he was getting dusted to that.
Archie in again.
The laser touch goes to Fred.
Oskie waiting across.
Oxygen trying to build this offensive wall.
Trying to keep this ball in the blue half.
Joio with a hundred off the ceiling.
Gets around one.
Can he get around two?
No, haven't we seen him through that before?
It doesn't come off this time.
Archie took the 50 that through, but Roulas refuses to let it rebound up to TRK! TRK!
I'm the gun!
And Oxygen just gets smacked out in there.
That's when it was Archie.
He wants to be in that position third man.
But in that case, he had a Falcons player to worry about.
Two-oh. Oxygen have to go now.
Now, chance for Oxygen.
Chiller is sitting right in the center, then that gets the stop.
Just wondering at what point is Oskar gonna launch himself downfield.
This defense looks impenetrable at the moment from Falcons.
At what point do you send the man down for first man?
Look for Reader X, look for Bumps.
Still at half the game, they don't need to panic yet, Oxygen.
They certainly will be concerned with how this is going.
That's a nice one. And there we go!
Did not give it up just yet.
And again, it's a Joyo challenge that mixes things up enough for Archie and to make the play.
Placement on that shot was perfect for Archie as well. Just putting it in my mind.
Here goes Joyo. It's a great kickoff strat.
Oxygen have done this to perfection, but the touch wasn't there. Killers looking to control this.
Oxygen's still on the attack. Launches down, built by TRK.
It's a Joyo. Sealing. Uses the flip.
Gets it to work. Only the Killers.
Oskie, that's how my Archie demo, Joyo didn't get the touch.
TRK, past one.
Oskie, up and over.
Killers, zone backboard.
Oskie looking for a bump.
Looks like Oskie did make contact, but Team Fountain's
powered through to still get the clear.
See, two minutes.
A lot of time for Oxygen.
We're lost.
Hands up position.
Hands up pressure, strength to Archie.
TRK up with the 50, goes back soft.
This is awkward. This is very awkward. Great cut from TRK. They're in big trouble in defense.
Joyo leaving that one. TRK pop in. Joyo's driving back and forth.
Jame went on Earth. Will this mid boost spawn?
Doesn't in that occasion for him. Archie just trying to keep this in.
It's in the right hand here for Oxygent. There's a great chance now.
Oxylo boost though. Drops it down to his teammate. The 3 man pass play.
You can see in that case Archie just not there.
A third man never showing up to the scene.
Killers, high-pop Archie jumping from the standstill.
One for 50.
The player dives in for Team Falcons.
Challenge from behind by RoLoss.
Off the corner.
Killers can't beat it, but TRK there to move it downfield.
And you see Archie backing off.
I want to say more aggression from there by then.
Still left on the slow-minute left.
He's just spiced for a joy to get to work.
He's off the ceiling.
He hits the musty, his backboard, where's the fallout?
Archie can't get across, Joyo dodges as well.
Just keeping the ball limp.
Oskie trying to buy time for Archie to grab loose,
and here he comes, off the backboard.
Killers throws himself, finds the clear.
Joyo leaves the ball,
instead of thinking about going for a bump,
but that Vicky is lost by Archie in corner pass from TRK.
Killers up, but Oskie there to shut down the attempt.
Great read from Oskie, Joyo up.
Gets him around one, low boost,
needs to find Archie somehow,
and he's got it right here.
It's a great catch into the reset.
Don't he long but it's one
Who's grabbed in the corner by team Falcons? We're gonna try to stop this push
Archie
With a full tank, but he's beat ball by killers. No ski then in the air actually throwing himself down field now
It's really desperate for oxygen now. They gotta go 15 seconds. Archie can only pass it back to joyo
He's trying to control it off ski just pops it up
joyo
Contested off ski what to make magic happen is it?
They got to go now. They got to go right now. The fight comes in. Joyo's up, misses the touch, ball still rolling, Archie keeping up, TRK trying to find the ground.
There's no booster of Falcons. The ball's still in the air. They just need it down.
Team Falcons stop ball.
Oxygen going home.
The clock strikes midnight for oxygen e-sports in Nerello Run.
It was fun while it lasted, but team Falcons, they're a team with a different breed.
The Kings from the Middle East trying to become the Kings of the World.
And then one step closer, that was a great response.
Once they started getting going, it just looked so hard for Oxygen to get into the
game.
They were getting outpaced.
That was so clinical in offense, Oxygen just could have break through.
They could have find a bump.
Every time now we're throwing a shot on net there were multiple members of Falcons ready
And I'm thinking James they're just getting that early series win for Falcons on champ Sunday
Could do them a world of good. We know that they do
Struggle a touch with nerves with the mentality particularly in those big occasions the grand finals so getting that win in a close series
I think I can build some momentum going into BDS in the semi-final won't that be a cracker?
Oh certainly will be TVS the team
that took them down on their plunge turf at the Esports World Cup.
You've got to give it up for Oxygen Esports,
a team that answered the call
when they weren't even supposed to be here,
but they show up and put on a really profound performance, CJ.
I think it was all three members of Falcons getting to work.
It was no superstar.
Each of them had their moments in there.
Each of them show up at different points.
In the end, it's game six. It's a final game.
That's the only game that matters.
That's where they really got to work.
You see these chances that Oxygen just could not take.
In the end, this is their run.
It's come to an end.
Team Falcons secure their spot in the top four
to play Team BDS.
And we are gonna go down to Leafx
for an interview on the main stage.
I'm here with Tarkay,
and it looks like the Falcons are soaring again.
Give it up for the Falcons.
Now TRK, I want to ask about preparation coming into this because you guys are always looking good
but felt maybe a little bit shaky in your earlier series throughout the week.
What was the preparation like last night coming into today?
Because I think I saw you guys here late grinding.
First of all, congratulations on the victory of the match.
I'd like to know how you were able to prepare for the series in front of Rape Oxygen.
What are the things you've worked on before you entered this match?
Congratulations.
Second thing, we used the Oxygen once, we followed the replays, and we used the replays.
to work around that fair enough again sometimes you don't see direct I guess
research towards the opponent so it's cool to see that now for the series
specifically it was very back and forth I had whiplash because not just the
speed but the winds were going back and forth what was causing that in this
series why was that happening
Because right now, I believe you lead this tournament in goals for,
and you're also in 12 for goals against, which means you guys have a lot of goals you let in,
and a lot of goals you're getting. Why do you guys think your play style leans into that?
So when it comes to that kind of scoreline and those kinds of results, we tend to be like one of the most aggressive teams here at the World Championship.
So what's your opinion on that?
To be honest, I think the best team in the world is the ones that are the most aggressive.
So when it comes to like that kind of score line and those kinds of results
We're we tend to be like one of the most aggressive teams here at the world championship
And we do have to work a little bit more on our defense, but we're just very offensive every single time every single chance we get
Well, I like the aggression. I know a lot of the fans do do I've played against similar play styles
And it's very scary now looking forward for you guys in this little break here
What are you guys up to is it straight back to PCs?
Abbasis for other teams some grind and some relax. What do you guys do?
We're not gonna stop we're getting ready for BDS
That's fair enough because that's who's up next. Give it up one more time for T. Okay, and look out
Falcons!
The Falcons continue their story of dominance and the Cinderella story of the tournament
makes its exit here in Fort Worth.
What a performance from Oxygen though.
There is no team we can point out in the history of broccoli that has taken a second
opportunity and made more of it.
No, absolutely not.
And they had to take everything they possibly could to get rid of them.
Falcons needed to play at their best.
If they performed the way they did yesterday, this version of Oxygen would have beat
them.
Look ready for challenging Sunday of oxygen. I mean opportunity. Well taken
Oh, that will be a sign for anybody else if you get given something
Do what you can make the most of it and it was back and forth early on auction game one game to go falcons game three
Auction game for falcons for them falcons the offense woke up in game five
Especially blew them out falcons over three goals for game threat to series. They shot as a team
43% so limited opportunities but when they had the shots they always made them count.
And they started getting some rhythm games and that's exactly what happened back and forth back and forth
but then the pendulum swung in game number five and after that August they looked back game six was closed
and always felt like Falcons had control like that always felt like they were going to make the next play
and that's exactly what happened they were going to move on and play some good games.
I mean that's a fantastic point there because it just kept wrapping up in pace.
Game one was a little bit slow but we could get faster and faster and faster
And then at one point Falcons just went yeah, we can hit the brakes as well
And the moment we do that we're at a pace that you are uncomfortable
We can get the fakes to come through we can make you miss and that is when oxygen broke
And it was really impressive though option shot two more shots per game over falcons
You talk about falcons always having that offense of pressure. Maybe the quality shots weren't there
They only shot 19% that still they put up a fight against Falcons again
Option was not supposed to be in the top six.
They were supposed to exit in Swiss.
But they made a run, and they contended
versus one of the best four teams in the world
to have to hold their heads high.
Yeah, I feel so great.
I cannot wait to see what this team does next season, the way
that they develop in the offseason.
It will be a monumental thing to watch
when we get into the RLCS 2025.
But the Falcons continuing on here,
they now are top four in the world.
Our top four is seven.
And we haven't talked about T.R.K. allowed 1.5 goals
for him throughout the series.
He's been quieter throughout the tournament,
letting the twins do work.
But we always know as the pressure builds,
that's when T.R.K. gets better and better
until finals, which we'll see later.
But the twins a little bit quieter, especially killers,
but T.R.K. he rose to the occasion,
yet again to carry them into a victory.
Well, that leaves us with just four teams left here
at the World Championship.
This is Championship Sunday and Johnny Boy,
You've been you watch that match pretty closely. What you see?
Well, a lot of highlight real plays and a lot of amazing goals, mechanical goals.
But, you know, the good thing about Rock League is there's occasionally a goal
on the pitch at the highest level that you think I could do that back home.
And I'm going to show you one here.
We've already seen it in the highlight reel.
We're in game three, oxygen down by one.
But on the counter attack, Joyo is able to get the ball over.
Rewass his head.
He's able to then get a favorable 50 with TRK and bump failures off the back.
Well, so really, that's all we're going to be looking to do here in your ranked games.
You're going to annoy your opponents when you do this, and you're going to set up chances for your teammates to score.
But right here, this is important. We need to take a look at the angle that Joyo and TRK are both coming at this ball.
You'll notice that Joyo has already gotten up onto the wall. He's coming at the ball from the top side.
TRK is coming upwards at it. If you just look at, we know where is the ball going to go there.
It's really quite simple. The Rock League is a game of angles. It's going to come out in the angle of least resistance.
But Joyo does a good job here, not just flipping too hard into this and having it go right across the goal.
He wants it to stay on this near close back wall, which is exactly what happens.
Let's keep the clip playing here.
And now again, the bump lands.
Joyo gets in front of the ball last down to boost.
He bumps, clears, off the wall, clears, is now off the ball.
He can't get back to it.
But critically, Roas is already advanced out of the net.
He was expecting clears to get a touch on this.
And that's what's going to happen when you guys use this in your own games back home.
You're the goalkeepers that you're up against.
They're going to expect their teammates to get easy touches.
I mean, that ball was just rolling into the middle.
That's easy to clear.
No joyo gets the bomb and then we already saw it. Let's watch it one more time. The goal that follows
So, you know, sometimes there's simple stuff that even he base can pull off on an off day
Like you Johnny keep us you think you go you didn't pull one of those off yesterday Johnny's so yeah, no, no, he's not talking
Okay, good. He had one wrong point though in my ranked games. I don't trust anybody's teammates ever
So I'm not moving up field. I'm saying in that until I make sure that balls hit out of there
So I don't know about his rank game
I explained your play style from top to bottom there.
We have three more matches left to play in the World
Championship, but top four is set for the Falcons.
We'll play against Team BDS, Carming Corp.
We'll play against E2.
Man, oh man, this is a crazy final four.
The best from Mina, BDS in form,
Carming Corp surging and G2 stride,
trying to uphold the American flag, man.
So then all NAO, these are the best four teams
in the world at the moment.
They all deserve to be right here.
And I'm expecting nothing but just sensational gameplay
the rest of the way.
Yeah, we have two LAN champions in G2 and BDS,
and then we have Falcons who many consider the best
in the world on two finals.
And then we have K-Corp, who were the early favorites
in this year, so dominant that they fell off.
But we know they're back now.
We've seen how they've been performing.
So any of these four can be a world champion.
I'm excited to find out who it is.
We wouldn't usually call it Karmic or a wild card,
But that's sort of the sort of see how they're shaping up when it comes to the top four in the world folks
We'll see them play here in just a moment
We're gonna take a quick break at the world championship when we come back your North American champions G2 back on the pitch
They'll be taken on the blue wall. It's coming up after a break
And save more for the things that matter most to them
Whatever you're saving for we're all better off with an ally
I'll get back to work.
For an 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.
Hmm, sounds like trouble.
It's great, actually.
It's called Auto Quote Explorer for Progressive.
Here, look.
See?
We'll 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 said I've been calling attention to something helpful.
You know, like, check it out, this thing's the best.
is the opportunity to bring that you set upon yourself.
The World Championship presented by Progressive continues in Fort Worth as we send more and more teams home.
The number is down to four. Only four teams remain.
The Falcons send Oxygen packing. Welcome back to Fort Worth.
We've got two more matches to play before the grand finals and the trophy gets hoisted
And we have another team with their name in the Raptors on champions field her. It's been a crazy day so far already
We have we've got a game six in game seven. Yeah, we had the longest time ever if you guys can't tell
But yeah, no, it is been such an insane day
I didn't expect every single series to genuinely go the full distance. We got we got three more series
We'll see I'm hoping I'm hoping games. We don't have another four one or four
Let's go champsfield all the way.
One side of Grand Finals of like, yeah,
let's get some champions to feel game set.
It really feels like we have the four best teams now.
Let's see, but back in January, it's still,
you would have had Falcons, K-Corp and G2 there.
I think BDS is the one team.
Many thought it would maybe be third or fourth best in Europe,
but they've obviously rose to the occasion.
They've won a 3v3 land.
So at this point, we know for sure,
these are the four best teams in the world.
Hurt, you at the beginning,
I remember there was some confusion
about which team you were saying was gonna win it all
on the graphics.
Oh, yeah.
Who you got as your world champion so actually when we had come into this one the the last time he was
London and I had Falcons as my winner and because there was a graphic muscle of the Falcons out on his mind
But I actually had G2 from the beginning really at the end of London. I said if G2 won
I would stick with them all the way through worlds and that's that's pretty much where you're still with them here
I'll let you all know okay
Yeah, keep them guessing there at home, folks.
We do have the teams getting ready to play on the stage behind us,
and we will be moments of way from getting into that game play here.
BDS versus Falcons on the other side of things,
Bates, those teams, waiting, they're going to be watching this result closely,
trying to get a read on which team they're going to be playing in the finals.
They sure will be watching the result closely.
They probably won't even be in the back playing that much
because they're really just locked in.
These four teams, if not much else you can do,
they just trust in your preparation,
seeing what your opponent is doing,
have what their feelings are like and how to move it on the field the moment as
that would be the asset opportunity to do it right now. Yeah and I do feel like that
is the name of the game on Championship Sunday gifts is trust that you've
prepared this year and then don't overthink it. Trust the process don't
get too nervous those are the two main things. Nerves can play a factor then
you start panicking on defense going for a double commit and with these
teams they're so good right now one mistake will cost you games and we've
seen it by the champions field one game is the difference so much energy folks
but it is time for top four at the world championship introducing first on the
blue side representing Europe they are unstoppable that thrives off that
negative word and Carmen man case is so unfazed by these booze man the person
in particular who's not worried is the man with the cowboy hat on in the
We'll get to him in a second and so he's been the best player for Carmen Corbin
whole time tournament the most overtime goers scored at a whole time
Blantom yep that the cricks that gives he's been clutch he's been icy and of
course he's playing with maybe the iciest player ever in rise it's captain clutch
and then yeah we have rise who's also very clutching we talk about world
championships and will rise in material win one it's not will they
win one it's when will they win one is this the time we know they are
caliber of players that will contend it every world championship it's just put it
together on that final day together on the final day and in body last year he
was planning will come to the prelim finals this time around I'm so simplified
he was playing in a top four game against in to make the world championship
grand final couldn't get it done now he's back trying to move one step
forward folks Texas get up and get loud it's time to get their opponents on
the stage.
In the last six days but now that we're in top four action and grand finals is just around
the corner here.
I feel like it's time we got to bring this up.
G2 have not missed a grand finals they have been eligible for this season.
This has not happened in the history of the RLCS.
Were they to make this grand finals they would do something impossible.
I mean if there was anybody that was going to complete that storyline in the morning
there was a chance it would look like maybe it could have been taken away from them
but still nobody could defeat them.
Talked about they're the best defense in the world regionally. They were even better at the two majors and guess what number one defense here
1.2 goals against for game G2
One point two goals for game their defenses and great but gives the question has been for G2
The office hasn't been the same their only option
One point two goals for game at least in a playoff. Yeah, at least in the playoffs so far
And that means that G2 high five high octane hot play and speedy offense
And it hasn't been great, but KC, and everyone's serious against Falcon's, they were great,
she was 37% after over two goals for K, never just keep going and going and going against
Team Falcon.
And if you could do that, you could beat anybody.
And Coach Farah, coming up a world championship with himself, he's got the boys locked in.
But one of the teams we saw today was G2.
We haven't seen KCorp.
We always say Rock League is a game about the day.
What can you do on the day?
We saw G2 battle.
Game seven, overtime, the longest match in history.
How much energy do they have left for K-Corp?
That's the longest match. It's only one match, but it was the longest match.
I was going back and forth in my head.
Does K-Corp, this being their first match on the stage,
is that a good thing for them or a bad thing for them?
I mean, it's a great thing for them. They're all experienced.
They know what to bring to the table.
Finley, aka Ryze, was just in the World Championship Grand Bottle last year.
They're coming in flesh. They're coming in with energy.
G2, they just exerted so much emotion, so many different strats
to get by a period team that was on.
They had to reload.
They had to relock in.
K-Corp's coming to lock.
They're ready to go, initially.
So if I had to choose, K-Corp definitely
is more favorite in Evergl.
G2, they're trying to carry that momentum.
We talked about a general one at the beginning of the day.
Yeah, that's what they are running on right now.
They have to.
And again, this crowd is going to be behind them 1,000%.
We already know that.
They know that.
They're going to have to feed off that.
I would love to see if they score a goal.
Just pop the headset off just really quick,
just to hear that energy to feed off that beast mode.
One goal per game in his last match,
holds the record for most scored in the game on land.
He's MVP for a reason.
He's got to step up.
Ryze has been one of the biggest players of the open area.
Jane Aps has been playing this game way longer than Ryze has.
Will this be competing in the OCS for much, much longer?
And yet Ryze has found a way to make it deep
into every tournament he's been eligible for.
He's trying to make another grand final.
He makes it deep into tournaments for a reason.
He's clutch, he makes great plays and when you need him to knock a shot down he has exactly what he does
He's a shooter for a reason and shooters making it this part of the tournament for the question remains here Casey doing one more time
Hashtag Casey in chat you think army for can take it hashtag G2 you think the G2's got it or you said you were gonna save it
Tell me who you got all right. I gave those boys my heart and soul in that match for a reason I
I believe in G2 just as much as you guys.
I got G2.
Listen, man, I'm on for the storylines right here.
Carmen are coming in hot.
They had a Peaks and Valies this season,
but only one team's been steadily consistent the whole entire time.
They're not going to come up short when it matters most.
They're back in the grand finals again.
Guaranteed!
Give me G2!
I'm rolling with him!
G2 has what it takes.
I picked them to win this whole thing.
And this is Championship Sunday.
They are as warmed up as they need to be.
Safiq's got these boys locked in.
I think G2's got this one down.
All right, crowd.
Who's gonna win this?
Is it gonna be G2?
For G2 though, because if you pick G2
then we're sweeping on the desk.
I know that anyways. Let's get to the point.
Thanks. We all care much more about the coin here.
G2 on one side.
Powering core on the other.
And it comes up G2.
The desk in every way, shape or form.
They have been the favorites all season in North America.
But the blue wall is here in force.
It's not a bug.
It's real, folks.
50-50 down the middle.
NA on one side.
All of EU on the other.
This is going to be crazy.
K-Corp, seven votes ahead is what I just heard in my ear.
Heading both?
They're at 51%.
Going to merrily, merrily get it there.
Kamino and his crew, they go hard and chat.
They're ready for it, folks.
It's going to be a big one.
You played the entire season to earn these opportunities.
And here we are, it's time!
Seven in tie, games versus Furia.
They may well be tired from that, that's coming caught.
Come through, completely fresh from last night's sleep.
But due to their performance versus Furia,
it's going to go down in the history books
as one of the hardest fought wins that we will ever see.
20 or so minutes of overtime racking up between those two,
and they take the dub in game 7.0.
And after that match, Beast Mode had said,
they're taking a break,
they want to keep that energy up.
They didn't play their best, but they're getting there.
But they're going up against K-Porp.
Their coach Ferris said they cannot play any better than this.
This is a K-Porp that appealed.
So you know what?
A peeking Kalming Korp, a peeking G2.
What a semi-finals this is here in Dickey's arena.
Zying off with decent amount of pressure from Kalming Korp.
Em4zy are inside for a long shot,
but the after-jump off the back form.
Their colors in the arena come from each other.
so well and then these two teams fit together like Jigsaw pieces on the pitch just as nicely.
They're different play styles, G-Team wanting to have much more of a measured approach,
weight to strike, take a couple of shots and go for quality over quantity,
calming call by the other side of things. They want to pepper their opponent's net.
Way more shots, way more goals, but it all depends what's going to win a championship offense or defense.
And after a dominant season from G2, you've got to come into this confident,
And I have to say, immediately the two team-mates on the exact same wavelength.
K-Porp have said you could throw any situation at them, nothing will shake them, split to
form them into one of the most resilient teams in the world.
Pharah said this, and it'll be a battle of genius.
Pharah and statue to mold the pieces on this chessboard.
Is G2 that strike first? How will K-Porp respond with that resilience?
material on that right hand side to harass any Q2 player that wants to attack his
ball as far as he's concerned Daniel O'Reese enemy building three sets there
being great
two by three
with their first match of the day I want to put on the press
they have one of the most deadly offenses in war one that is suffocating
expecting an immediate dusting of the defense they will cause calming to reaping their
strategy out of time and out of pressure so far G2 they're on top of that lead
of all atomic returns to dickies arena to claim the trophies we almost got G2 look
in for despite how long of a series they just experienced but cake will they
been through so much this will not touch them
well to the soft shock central is getting that force after into having
just a little bit more on the back line atomic is gonna be holding it down
This is what we see coming called really starts pepper instead G2 can work out of their own half Daniel up nice
No need to stop left G2 so far another reset over a defender. It seems that Daniel could flood them out of thin air
Oh, he's going with a 50 win at topic wasn't trusty. He wanted to fight for the corner
But here's the catcher
Chuck that a buck away montage. That is a stunner of a redirect
Daniel Ryan about can't help but score goals can get through quick enough
Rise will be happy to accept that one.
He was the last man able to defend it.
He got the touch, not the one that he wanted.
Only two goals separate in KC now,
and a kickoff going advanced to G2.
Can G2 keep up at the momentum that K-Corp can bring to the table?
Daniel just barely.
K-Corp with the first goal of the series.
And Ato that MVP for K-Corp wants to show out.
It's a topic, hoping to slow this down, Ato.
He sends a shot flying, Beast Mode with a full tank, so trying to dribble this, can't get under the ball, Ryze senses this, and there's Batirra with the miss, and Atto challenges as a third man, Ryze gets back in time in the midfield for K-Core.
These small touches from G2, typically to see Daniel go for them, but Beast Mode, Goman in his locker as well, just getting out of reach of their opponent, Atto, nearly and near enough over one, but Atomic is going to shot it down, taking away by Daniel, Ryze, Central, Batirra is waiting and lurking,
as is Beast Mode. No chance to get around, does get the beat on him this time.
Vati up high, attempts to reset, up on the back, 4 Daniel.
Near enough, a shot on Target, it's going to be weak.
More needs to come from Karmic Corp as we enter the last minute.
They challenge his K Corp, but really testing the waters against G2 and L2.
But it's hoping on the side wall, looking awkward. Beast Mode has his back.
He's on the wings, and G2 are going to need some wings.
Here's the attack! He's on the crossbar for Atom.
He's got some pads to work with, there's Mathieu off the back, all fries as times!
Azir and Boost deepens across the board for G2, and yet they stay steady, Beastman now free jumping that long with nothing.
A single pat on the way, an exemplary display of force from the G2 side.
30 seconds, K-Korpo running out of time and out of options, they can't afford this.
Mathieu is safely to the side, collects the corner, Beastman with a 50, getting scary as Ryze leads Ato towards the net.
Varsity with a fade, about to get a new one, sir!
Rise again, a season one central,
Ato is there, save the way!
G2, their defense that they've been forced back into, has held so well so far.
Varsity is reading that, it's not going to be enough.
Game one, going the way of the home down here.
If you take their first stride in the series,
with just quick punches, as soon as the first kickoff happened,
getting into the heads of K-Corp,
But I just can't think of a more composed team, a team more ready for this moment than K-Corp,
especially a team that have something to prove after the second half of that season for World Down.
As you see the Mobile One High Performance replay after Manfield Knight walking by Progressive.
That chance for Daniel across the board, he got more 610 points.
The start player across the series so far, but with Beechlight getting double-tamped, especially on the reset.
We see how much it means to these fans
Calming court might think coming up the gate
They don't necessarily expect that amount of pressure because G2 when you look at how they typically enjoy playing
They will sit a lot further back goals per game shots for game assists per game all beaten by calming court
Who themselves are only second to the Falcons
Tens of saves that's where G2 come out
They have a lot more chance on their own defensive lines
Calming court they will attack until the cows come home
But G2 more than happy to sit there and then try and send a deadly dagger at your neck and G2 after dominating North America
They've been able to just rely on mechanics laying back and going for solo plays
But this was a team effort from G2 the back-to-back passes. It was a master class
K-Corp didn't get shut out. Game 2 will be a different story. It's already an early attack for K-Corp, low on boost
but really trying to shake up G2's backline as Beast mode wins 50s to get them to the blue lap.
And you know what, when G2 attacks, they literally don't care how much boost they have.
If they defend on 0, cool, that's also fine.
More than happy, just to push their master of resources.
Boosts, I think, maybe not quite as effective versus a team that is that comfortable in their own skin.
Atomic does carry a pass, with 60 in the tank, ends with 20.
These loads catch, 50 on his own, and now Atto trying to push downfield.
to push downfield, the MVP, but they missed.
It's gonna be lacking so far with Carmen Cove,
not with that same boat that we've seen them have.
Two demos now out of game with the drive reset, G2,
and still they almost found a moment to get a shot on net.
Now Daniel's just gonna leave this over,
see if he can give himself some time to get boost.
Atomic can't get some corner control.
Now Beast mode up high against Ryze.
Maybe Daniel will climb as a passing option,
What is top for G2 to slow things down and still have a chance at offense?
It's worth mentioning the quality of the teams have come through comic called
They're beaten the fastest team in the world in five the game G2. They have struggled their way through here
They've got through the Swiss yes 30 for since then to game 7 win one and they've also lost one just a little bit earlier today
a minute and a half
See after now get that don't get going to be a good opportunity with Daniel Clears called about
still a 0-0 game. G2 didn't get that early start that they got in game 1, K4, able to calm themselves and the play.
It's Atomic to Daniel and almost recollecting as Atomic didn't get boozed or Bumzy was looking for, bouncing out to Beast mode,
catches in the midfield, couldn't follow through, didn't have enough resources.
And Atco's still going for Devos. They keep forcing a destructure out of G2.
And there's a couple of demos again just raining through Ryze this time and we see him one of the best off-ball players in the world
That's how they have won those regional events at the start of the year
When he then fails
Calming court failed he needs to be activated but here up gets for the wrong rise now just shoot midfield is anybody there?
Beast mode can carry away reset does not find atomic as though
Managing to intercept calming court now really asking questions of the G2 defense
And K-Corp are really good and when they see G2 barreling downfield, they know they can go for these low passes and K-Corp are becoming more aware of Amba Daniel!
Like a rock into the back wall! The Beastmote has looked for bumps into any backline defenders! G2 still haven't been able to swing for the fences yet, and now Moan Boos G2 are limited on what they can do in this moment!
moment Daniel doesn't even have a corner boost, he has a tall bigger beast, he's not running on empty, but so is K-Corp. At this tempo, you've got to do what you can.
All good defense for you, common goal, each time it's fallen to the Metira, does K-Dunk for the second chance on B-Ford, he wanted it, but the boost was not there in his tank.
A collection by Metira instead of punts it as far away as he canals, nothing to do with that ball, chases down V-Mode, he carries over one, bumps out the way again.
is a tight building for G2, a clear from Ryze, 100 seconds, still drone level.
Uh-oh, forward.
That Ryze brings it to safety to the opposite side as P-150s keeps forcing K-Qurt to make decisions.
Do you have three more there? Daniel's up at the double!
And the Torment gets you up for the finish. Bahti saw him coming.
G2 on the retreat and they got their own boost.
and K-Club can't build that threat yet and almost a minute left.
And with two commits, he's gonna be much more walled before the 1-2.
Ha! Kallner, not found from Atomic. Chance, the GDT trying to push this
Garmin Club defense even further. One central again, cleared by Atto.
The first up. Atto wants to try and find his way in.
Beesler with the catch and Hager with a dunk.
For the huge commit. Atomic shooting high, burning boost.
But Atto tips over his head into the corner.
G2 putting on the press.
And the K-Korps are boosted, they can't do anything!
What?!
Konnichiwa Tomek, top corner, Batsy there, still sneaks through.
Pixel perfection.
G2 take a late lead.
Kalmingorpe yet to answer at all.
Tomek under the same banner, but different teammates.
This is one of the best and most accomplished teams
that North America has ever seen.
And keep on fighting, one more time!
Whatever you can do, G2, you know what fellas?
We can do it better.
A massive miss, a team bump, an aerial goal, nonetheless.
30 seconds, calming call.
Draw it level versus this G2 team that so far has controlled the tempo.
Now on this kickoff, how will they approach it?
It does get forced back corner, which is exactly what Ryze is waiting for.
Up for one, on target, B-Splow, more than a boost to keep it safe.
And the defense has been so good, it takes physicality down,
a response whatever atomic use that beast mode with the delayed challenge to Daniel
and it's on the platform!
Beast mode now needing to defend the hat, zero boost, a flick up high!
Now it's down to beast mode!
Three jump from the heavens!
Oh, I can hear it almost got centered in front of the net a few more seconds.
Once you double up the core, the team will come from G2 and attempt to get it over time!
Beast mode saving the skin of G2 on that one.
I thought he'd misjumped, but clearly he knows ball a lot better than I do.
A challenge going through Daniel wanting to get the ball away from Atto.
Midfield with another team bump, we've seen them from both sides plaguing them.
But here our chance for a long choice said the reset goes there further than he might have wanted.
Only points Daniel on the backboard.
If Gwyneth's game might go to a nil-nil overtime, but somehow both score in regulation.
Energy too can take control of the K-Corp moves.
That's what really helped propel them to a lead as K-Corp can take their time.
Like you said, they can play back and wait for quality, not quantity!
And it was almost there, Foxy!
Pushing G2 to the edge.
Atomic skirts to the side, can't get it up the wall.
As Ryze grabs the side boost, and Atom dances along Daniel.
And Foxy just can't pull it through.
Now a transition for G2, when Atomic's demoed.
These foots still just gonna delay them and distract them.
Low boost across the board for Casey.
Now they get a chance to go for some tight gony flair.
with boost was Atto very briefly again back down to zero. They used a huge amount of boost in these
games. One of the top three teams in fact in the entire tournament so far. Metira back left,
gets one challenge Atto. Just a nice bit of clear into the corner. I thought it there though,
it's waiting. That one on target. A couple of times! The chance at Beast Mode as Beast Mode
takes his chance. Casey, they have got a timeout that they can use. After two it comes down
down to Ferrag, do they take it? Do they need an extra minute here to dissect what happened
in Game 1 and 2? And also to cool off whatever was happening on that G2 side. They were very
level, but with the goal at the top and the boost starving, as I said, KT they use one
of the top three months of boosts as a tournament, when they don't have it, G2 clean, you
know that, that's how they get the advantage. Overtime they're lemon, all theirs.
They smoked MVP, not only in America, but in the first two games.
I just can't believe the energy that they still have.
And they said in the, what a shot.
They said in the interview, it was going to be like the Florida game, but much, much more difficult.
This is a battle.
I think Ryze, he had a hundred boosters anticipating that, I think it was out on the back wall.
May well have been able to come across, swipe it away, and then they can continue on that repeat round.
But no, that touch didn't come through.
No timeout taken, either Bizarrely, clearly Kami-Corp,
they think this system works.
A timeout does in fact get called.
Well, maybe the latest one that I've seen.
We normally hear it like at the end of that game.
But they now get themselves an extra minute.
They've already had about one more minute,
so they've already had another one on top of that.
But it's a chance for Thera to talk to his team,
the grand master of Rocket League, alongside Saku.
both of these chess players using their teams,
using the crowd, if you'll say, for you
to give yourself the advantage.
It's going to be a lot about tempo.
This has become really hectic.
You have to come up with a lot of low-boost plays.
And there can't be any hesitation in those moments.
Decision-making has to be perfect.
And you already saw G2 kind of collide
into each other, 15 bumps, and somehow mess you deep.
Please don't fall.
What is that spell?
I mean, that was all it was sort of like an H, but then he fell and it sort of became a really sad end.
It wasn't great.
Be careful out there.
Yeah, maybe don't fall in the middle of the sands.
One of these things though, great segue here, it's going to fall.
Game number three, Karmicorp did take their time out right on time.
The G2 one more and they set themselves up for that date in the grand.
G2 is with a defense that hits K-Corp with a few demos and they're working on nothing.
B-Snow with a shot, but Batir is ready on the back wall.
Rystra has to collect.
The Daniel attacks him.
Swarms of King.
K-Corp carefully develops, develops something at least off that K-Corp.
K-Snow, opposite corner.
Thank you very much.
G2, early advantage.
And that is one way to shut your opponent up after they've been yapping for a minute.
It's a good cushion G2. Just had the right idea right off the kickoff. Double demo.
Who's starving them? K-Corp not the reason they need a dodge.
Beast mode protects the Crips from the right side. What K-Corp do not puncture?
Tarenar going into the back corner. Just get that 100% reason up for one who's going to challenge him.
No one just yet. And you know what? We're seeing so much patience from G2.
They aren't necessarily attacking everything in the air.
But you're doing it with a Kami-Corp in Europe. We're going to be so used to.
You don't get any space when you're playing in Europe, come on G2!
They're giving them a lot more than they would typically have, and Karmigolf are not taking advantage of that material.
Low boost, can't get anything past the defense. Now it's time for Atomic to whip it just about the crossbar rise.
Contact for them is made.
It's good for Atomic to run into that traffic, to not let G2 start a walk into his print.
Now Atomic running into Atoll, Daniel off the ceiling, and...
Good for G2, the ground bay for their champions to enter the finals.
Most mechanical team in North America who are on display.
They just can't allow that to happen.
You can't give a team like G2 time on the ball and devils come into play.
Double demo is favourite G2, the Atto.
Guess how some frustration removes it coming from the pitch.
But one going towards the side and a force back towards the blue half.
Off the corner, Kutira clearing. They need this ball there, a little bit closer to them, should they have any success?
Azo is bringing away one in the middle, takes it around and Beastler can dive in up for one.
Maybe they attempted three sets and they've got no point and a boost.
Azo's ready, almost off the ceiling. He went to touch his and almost got the back to the right.
He sees his future, and he takes the ball by the horns.
The triple in favor of those from NA, halfway through this game.
No one expected this level of beat-move at Egypt Zen.
This is the millennia of beat-move.
I just love hearing the crowd chant.
And they love it too, for G2 in Game 3!
Looking ahead at match 4, he's so confident, he keeps going for these ego challenges!
And how can K-Corp get to face, to play the five games, to fight any guy?
The devils aren't really coming out of K-Corp's side, it's more out of G2 and Ryland!
They've found their curebombs so far, they're going to play back on it previously.
This time G2 absolutely run away with it, a double chance, not quite taken from G2.
This one all but over with two minutes remaining it's a chance to call me cool to save face and prepare themselves
Especially they've just taken a tactical time out. What do you do after this?
It's a mental game you would never expect k-corp's net to be open there's always someone there
Something is breaking down in the k-corp camp
You've got to wonder if that's gonna be fit for next or this could be in a sweet direction
But Ato will give life to his team, and now we're dead from Demo Office at the midfield!
Mavachi is quicker! Ato at the ready, and he keeps throwing shots to G2's neck! Ato hasn't given up!
We are seeing a few double commits come through from G2, they're not impenetrable,
but they are absolutely extraordinary at covering up the smallest error where they come through a calming call.
The inability to deal with them, Vatira trying to chip it round the ball,
isn't able to rise central beast mode going to get to safety but safety is
changed his name to veteera central with him goes down like bottom corner
save the game this time right he brings back one will it be enough this was the
layered attack we wanted to see out of pay for to send it to finally finish it
it's five to one this is really just to build some kind of momentum for the
next game of this board was happening in one minute I don't think I've ever
We've never seen five goals come back from in the RLCS.
It might have happened once or twice,
but out of the thousands of matches that we have played,
it's not gonna be happening here today.
Up above the top, fourth back down into the RHR.
Final 45, again, as I've been saying, purely to save face.
G2, if all goes wrong, and it goes to game six,
game seven, whatever it is,
they see what their tactical timeout.
The deepers are calming, court still being strict.
G2 are not done with the Clarkus
that they have made out of Casey.
Even Ato and the backbass is just trying to get the ball out
of G2's hands, but G2 are playing so fast and methodical
that you just don't have a set.
At this point, it's like the champ, FF, Gigo next.
Batting, zero boost.
Chives going for it.
Ultimately, won't matter.
You've already conceded five lads.
But it's not exactly a goldman's
inspirer going into game number four.
It's going to be a big, big opportunity for G2 to take the cementum, to take this chance, to see the future written in the stars, to know that here, on the stage, they were taken down last time by BDS.
This is their chance. One more game and we see ourselves with a G2 in the grand finals for the second time in Fort Worth.
G2 are not fun, they are just getting started.
G2 want to go after that title, that chose me.
Atomic, he's been there before, first championship Sunday for Daniel.
This month, then he had before, but not this deep into the bracket.
I don't know what happened between the last series of Gets Furia to now,
but G2 look incredible.
I thought there'd be a spot for Team.
I thought it'd be something.
I was going to 7 yesterday, 7 again today.
I thought they'd look a little bit tired, but no!
They're electric!
They're overcharged!
They are everything right now.
You see sparks flying when they hit the ball.
Carmencorp on their side.
Big questions.
Coach Ferrup, you earn your paycheck here.
Right now you're losing to Sanpute
in the battle of the brains of Gorgonis Greatest.
And that my friends is the face of North America staring you down Europe
What have you got match point for G2?
To go to the grand starting to steal it away from G2 if you could slow them down and not let them go for any dribbles
Now let them access the back for that could be the secret sauce the cake or and look how early
No, we are supporting that offense. They're here on the scorching in this series. That's not a worry
There's usually sure they don't concede that five they need to get a couple of goals
I've got to feel good goals put the pressure on like that's what you do
G2 that defense even if some more scrappy at times has not been broken very often by KC material
I'll come on with the reset comes down rise is there the beast mode he manages to squeeze in front just instead
I can't quite get it out of these both graphs at some bumps one off the ball and that is what G2 been doing
So well the physicality
though, but you do have a lead, they don't have to overcome it.
It's K-Corp that's setting everything, they throw everything,
put the kitchen sink.
It's even the mind games, the delays, the bakes, not enough.
To get through that G2 defense is one of the best.
It's K-Corp black and loose, but Fatsy's got a chance on the ball.
None of my touch, I'm atomic!
K-Corp!
Rides with the first.
Minute and 10 seconds in, and it's G2 put to the pressure.
And Tommy didn't deal with it on the backboard.
And that's what Karmicorps want to do.
They want to make sure that nobody feels comfortable.
A shot after shot.
They're going to be a revolving door.
G2 dealt with it so far,
they've shut them down in the midfield.
This chance has not been very often.
Butira from free jump,
does get a miss,
B-Smoak down, a reach that cut out by Atto.
G2 have waited much time in the air.
K-Corp learned that less than the hard way before.
But it's kind of uncharacteristic for G2
to have these missed touches in K-Corp.
may have found a weakness, but it's constantly attacking this ball.
He's always behind it, and who is behind K-Corp?
It's Fonzie, doesn't go for the pluse, pops it up to the ceiling.
Atro takes the helm, to the corner, he collides with the Beast Mode.
Wants to take a bite out of this defense.
Now rise with Todd, Beast Mode to the ceiling,
almost dropping it down in the comic saves.
Two minutes through, calming call, but just that one still holding him in the game.
Short and long, just find a self-wide beast mode.
Just a spot of space, but Ryze is going to shut down immediately.
Atom 1!
Top corner!
That is bottled by the best to come back in this series.
Maybe late, but it's fine if they can do it.
It's not a late-in timeout.
Now it's sinking, what Ferro was saying.
You've just seen from the tear-up.
Let's go high into that back corner.
All three players on G2, very close chance here.
But Ryze trying to sink his way in.
Daniel versus Bastic.
Bastic wins out on that one.
And he has to boost the fans, one, two,
Noc by Round 1, but does get the bump.
Beastmo though, supporting his teammate
has been his number one goal,
every single play that he goes for.
Such an unsurpassed play.
Riso, a flat bump on the opposition side,
top corner, not quite foul this time.
K-Corporate had time because of that
exchange to grab boost to keep his pressure going.
Can G2 withstand?
Beastmo has to go up high to atomic!
A vital save as well, G2,
You want them to have no momentum heading into each consecutive game now
It's back into the corner Vsburg cuts out early fine
Stanion look quite much on it and we've seen these misjudges from G2 come through and a little bit more often rise
The zero boost commit back is how G2 shut down KC so effectively in the first three
And G2 can accomplish these passes, but as long as K-Claw don't let the second man do anything with it
That's what K-Claw can keep G2 at bay so far so good
Atomic gets it back! Atomic gets it back!
Does he do this? Time and time again, the free man passing play.
Shut down, boy, just one-third of G2.
Beesha will now have to chase that one back with Metira.
Beesha, come down, you're on Atomic, sending just a couple to the graveyard. Why not, fella?
Okay, Atom, there's not enough rooms.
He's just gonna clear it out.
The G2, the pass is back and for now, the Atomic gets involved.
K-Corp need time to think, now they advance, they march to the orange path.
Ato misses contact on Beast mode, Atomic goes not to pass, Rides our main back, intercepts,
bouts her to the back wall, but Tira can't let this center.
K-Tube will lurk in the midfield for their chance to strike,
and it's Beast mode, bumped off by Ryze, play of the law by Daniel, but K-Corp are quicker.
5-2 turns from Ato, just keeps it away, keeps him poking but never getting through the membrane.
Final 30, a dunk from Rice keeping that ball now in the opposite orange side.
Touch on by Daniel, first man to it, it's gonna be Ato, Daniel again, this time Mityra.
Can only go as far as the halfway line, Mityra now convoed up the double.
Beast mode skims it along.
Final 20, still looking for that confidence inspiring goal from Jitu.
Ato cut rotations, took all the boost out of Jitu, raised back when Ryze, the third man got doubled.
K-Gord will not allow an open net, they've fixed their mistakes quick.
And it's G2 that found something in this game four!
And it's K-Corp that keep their head!
It's a mentality that Karmine Corp have taken through in Europe.
What they have historically won majors with.
What each of the players on there goes through with sheer ice.
They lost it briefly.
They lost their heads in the first three games.
Game three especially of course.
And now Karmine Corp, opportunity.
Can they wrestle it back? Can they push G2 to get another game seven?
They went 7 versus BDS, they went to 7 versus Furia.
This one looked like it may well be a sweep,
but a relatively earlier goal for Carmencorp gives them confidence.
And G2 only registered two shots.
My idea is that they're able to pass midair.
That's for Brett and Butter of G2.
They're going to come flying at you.
But KQP don't allow the second man to get a quality touch.
They run head first.
It's a 50 that kills the play before the offense, even registers.
That's why G2, the prester, any shots and K-Quad may have found the kryptonite to G2.
When you need the kryptonite to take down Superman, and that's precisely what G2 find themselves as.
Carmencourt are the underdogs here. They're not used to that. They don't care about the booing.
Ever in the crowd can boo them as much as they want. We have wrestlers out there trying to get
every single person in the arena on G2's side. It won't touch the European masters,
But it may well give G2 that bump over the finish line that they well need.
G2 need the energy of their fallen brethren of Gen G, SSG, OG to finish one of Europeans' grade.
It's not a great touch on the rise.
He's moved one of the donks, and he's always playing close to K-Corp.
He's moved a stomp number four, and he'll do it again.
I'll see a question now.
Immediately coming out from rise, we need to see him morph on these off-ball plays.
Go for the man. Go for the bump. Do anything that you can.
that you can. Arita wrecked nearly from Atto, and midfielder stolen. It's going to be forcing
Atto to rotate further out of the human one. Right. A brilliant pop up high, but Atto is
patient. He waits. He takes it slowly. Arita over one. A stunning display of defense.
And Vati adjusts thinking. You have to hesitate. Get the ball back. Get the touch on the
ball. Atto always leading that charge. The smart glove off the ceiling while the
drop. Daniel doesn't make it easy. Vati collects. Got the whole crew jumping. And
It's off to the side and Ryza's goal for the corner boost decides to 50 B-Splow
but Ato is forced to fall back as the third man.
That's precisely the kind of gameplay that Kami called their susceptible to.
Their susceptible to his counter-attacks.
They pushed so far up G2 on the other side of things.
They defend like their love depends on him.
I want to bomb two opposite bomb corner.
Ato couldn't quite find his way in.
This one a long shot shut down by Ryze.
And K-Corp talked about how they approach every game as a grand final.
And you're having grand- I love my mentality.
Right? And you're facing Championship level talent of G2.
It's gonna be such a hustle. It's gonna take so much effort out of K-Corp.
But they are looking like a more dangerous team, at least on the pitch currently.
They can't earn a free touch, can they K-Corp?
So far, battling very evenly, but still very awkish trying to get anything through.
Atto takes that ball away from Ryze. Ryze now still low at the back, but Tira finds Atto.
Shot just above target. Dang it, clear it from the crossfire.
Again, a double tap. Only goes far as Ryze.
A reset. Can't find his teammate instead. Who else but Beast Mode to intercept?
K-Korbit trying to find those teammates. They're playing closer and closer, so it's quicker past this something to get past G2's defense.
They haven't been able to corp their initials into that orange net yet, with 0-0 on both sides.
G2's offense, it's safe. They always have a topic here at the back, and now with a full tank of boots, we'll leave it to a second man.
But that wasn't the plan. It's G2 going again, playing P, but if Batty also looks for a bomb, the balter is too high, bro!
Charts on net and Carmencourt take it.
A gorgeous fake from Batty.
Set free space to the shots.
He know he's going to be committing on it.
Ryzen come in for the follow-up.
Carmencourt halfway through.
They earn the lead.
There is a contingent of Carmencourt fans.
The blue wall in the corner.
They are electric with every chance the KC get.
Kcourt with the lead last game.
That is what sparks confidence.
That's what maybe can help them.
I just play style of not over committing when k-core find themselves behind they can stress and they can leave open it
That hasn't happened
Take work on first g2
Two minutes two goals two great chances and a dunk from rise
Caches that defense lacking that happened so rarely for g2. They so ready get those long shots coming against them
But pushing up is a free and with a calmly caught that right now have nothing left to lose
You cannot shove them in a corner and expect them not to lash out
I don't think the shades do to much is unexpected 50s when the game is played this fast
You gotta let this one through as it's all they try to adjust leaves at the peace mode
So has to keep this ball here by time for a team to restructure their full-on boost
But they're not on the ball.
Ryze will assure they can have a swing at this net,
as Vati intimidates at the corner and centers the ball.
The pitch's low, and Ryze can't bully his way through.
There's a minute and a half that's still very dangerous territory in time.
Ryze removes the biggest threat that G2 have.
Daniel is briefly off the pitch for tier in our carries.
Can't get the order to split round two,
so these are the challenges and a whip from him.
Merle's presented Daniel with a terrible, I think, a tie rather than a terrible touch.
Takes away a tiny from his teammate.
One minute now, calming Corp.
Very clearly advantage that they find mentality in the game,
but G2 with a free game handicap.
G2 are conceding a lot of possession to K-Corp,
and now a shot up high, right ready on the left, and G2, hold the hand up.
Not open net though for K-Corp, 45 seconds.
The equalizer still reachable for G2, but they need to find their stride.
They got a half boost and they got a half.
A way to transition through the men's fields in Atomic to be smoked,
to Sanyal when Ryne was ready.
Two games go, that goal goes in.
They don't push that calming corp instead.
They are much more confident now.
Matira, as he lands in Alcove, atto into him.
They have a little bit of contention.
Daniel, another missed touch.
It's all for it.
Calming corp, they find their third.
are hot on your heels G2. G2 are starting to flounder a little bit on defense
tripping over the races in the series. If this score stays this way K-Corp will now
take back-to-back games. You cannot let this get into your head if you're G2.
And you know why? It's because Ryze is putting the fear of God in them. No matter where they are, Ryze has
got a goal out of a dunk in his own corner. Ryze with that sheer amount of
The pressure is gonna assist Kalmingkorb on their victory in game 5 and bring them within
one and striking distance of G2.
And to shut up G2, to shut them out as well, 3-0.
And G2 may have registered more shots when it's the same story as last game.
The transitions are becoming more and more perilous for G2 in that midfield.
cake work when they catch you to our tempo. They know how to put salt in the room.
It's going to be another sweep in favour as well. That's the second game. The only
suits that we have seen are the games that Carmen Corbett won. The previous are 2-0.
This one a 3-0. Five unanswered goals. Ten minutes without anything for G2.
And if I'm coached, I am absolutely taking a tactical time out here. Stem the flow.
Thank you very much, Mr. Producer-Man. It's going to be a time-out.
And for those shutouts to happen in favour of K-Corp,
after almost getting Brazil dawned by G2,
on the biggest of stages in front of the entire world,
we talked about K-Corp. You will not shake them.
They approach every match like a final.
They approach every game like the series is 0-0.
We saw as well Ato standing up waving to you,
and like, oh, he's what you're doing!
Can I leave it open for me?
Ryze, he's still at yapping as well,
but Tira would not even get too loud just so far.
And to be honest, I think the crowd has gone a little bit quiet.
I think G2 aren't feeling the energy from their fans.
And right now in the timeout, as soon as this game starts,
they need their fans on their side,
because Carmen Korff are on their way
to taking down the only North American team that you have left.
If you are a G2 fan in the arena, join in with a chance.
Join in with a cheering, and get on your team's side.
Thank you, Mr. Banana.
Appreciate that, Phillip.
Got the wrong event.
I was at last week.
But anyway, timeout will dwindle,
and it's now time for the coaches to have an impact.
They're seeing K-Corp with all that experience.
their veterans trying to get into the heads of G2 waving at them,
making those mistakes hurt more and more on the defense.
The G2 have to play their game. G2 may be young, but this is their stage.
Neo Tokyo, we kick off here with G2 again on series point.
A day in the grand finals on the line, a calming call, standing very much in
their way and holding them up on traffic.
K-Corp, all they want to go to Tier 3 and it's field bad.
A best of 7, reverse sweep, those don't happen too often, but not on Beast Mode!
Wash, almost with a bump!
Ato will stand tall and want it to lead K-Corp to a counter-attack.
It's been slowed in the midfield and G2 ready at the back.
It's Daniel now trying to go for this push.
Gensipho's up on the wall, Ato with full boost, very regulative and calm.
Though that can use control of the ball, then takes it low.
Shot on target. Saving the way for Beast Mode on Neo Tokyo.
Wants to make sure that he leaves rubber on the road.
Up for one. Does the massive out the way.
And we see that favorite G2 press starting to apply.
Yeah, G2 could find those rebounds.
More opportunities. More chances to strike at K-Corp.
You can catch them jumping.
G2's shot placement has been incredible.
That was a little wide. Okay, I might have crossed it,
but G2 will go out of it again.
Beast mode challenge against Ryze giving time atomic on the ball by the setup
But an actual is it difficult for G2 to get all fits of reads the sandal chest be productive in the net
Beast mode will keep the press and take more full clear
It's straight in
Atto says you can keep taking bite to this cherry
I'm just gonna heat the whole dancing
Opposite top color. Thank you very much calming cool
continue on their push through six unanswered goals now and eleven and a
half minutes of game time for G2. G2 from the rebound but they over
committed looking for that first goal after getting shot out back to back games
G2 are getting in their own heads and K-Porp with a lead has not let them down
yet neither has Batty but on the sidewall atomic in his way B-Spo in
in the net against Astro 50s across.
Fonty with a shot, that's wide.
Charles now for Atomic on the backboard.
He's not got that much boost, he's going to be taking it low.
And she goes down your end to make sure that he can continue on this push.
And Stalman has not been there in the opposite corner.
It's Atomic just stealing these boosts away,
wanting to set up for the long haul.
Atomic low on boost.
Fonty already with a hand up.
Lies, collects, but G2 are so quick at swarming the ball.
K-Corp, golf almost gotta get rid of the ball quicker
so they can just try to maintain self-position.
B smoke to the backboard, Bride getting into Atom,
and G2 continue to own the blue half
to find the equal either, but not yet.
We see all these chances too,
when the shot comes through, there's one waiting,
waiting for that calming call error.
When it falls, there will be a G2 player for it.
That's what we've seen coming called right so far.
The one, the second central, no one to receive it,
But still scary on that G2 half, Atom, ceiling drops it down, Daniel.
Dane to sit, now rising to midfield, the one man to it.
Doesn't have enough boost, Bounty shines away as well.
Chronicle, they've thrown themselves at these walls, but so far unchallenged by G2.
And Atom's done everything to help these transitions,
but it's what K-Corp can do to be productive in the corners of G2's side of the fence.
But at least not letting G2 collect the ball on offense keeps K-Corp in the lead.
And now they end all three, and I don't care.
Baldur's ball is high, and Atomic with a touch.
K-Q will be time to collect moves, but Tira is demoed, and G2 are tied.
We're now seeing them work in tandem as well.
Final 90 seconds.
This game may well get a bit more frantic, as G2 see their tournament life on the line.
See Maywell go to game number seven.
That one very scary opponent, Daniel, having implicit trust.
Sending it round one.
It's wide, Ryze will meet him there, and Daniel, an attempted dunk.
Ryze is so corked on the defense and K-Corp...
He does go midfield, but Daniel's gonna suck him under that ball.
Atomic with a beautiful fake, keeps it away.
C-Peace mode lurking, waiting central, fourth boost.
A charge that is gonna come soon for G2.
I can just feel it in my bones.
One minute, one goal and for the win in game six.
K-Corp just needs to not take any risks.
It's Moe.
It's Me-Smote with boost.
Needs to just adjust.
Can't get for the reset.
Esquatee really testing the waters.
POSENES!
G2! K-Gorb may get mixed up with their Italy still!
Final 35, Matias will be free jumping that one.
Beeple will swipe in from the side.
This one to make it to game number 7, Ato.
A long pass.
He's gonna be there to meet Tears,
but Tearra goes up as they call and saves down!
Nailed the coffin, not there yet, but 25 seconds time
has now been the enemy.
That's G2! E2 unite!
Atomic has no boost!
And he's now bodgy still so profitable!
15 more, Batchy!
Go slow, actually, fetch out one and a touch from Beast Mode.
Ten seconds now to ging down.
Daniel with control of Vati Parkourner.
He's going to pop this one long, does no hide with it.
Rise to meet.
Beast Mode is going to be their first.
It's one, it's two.
Atomic Central, rise to Beast Mode, up high.
Daniel to come in, no reset, it's two in the floor.
Game seven.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are here witnessing
what we may call history eventually.
There's only ever been a single best-of-seven reverse week online, and it was last year.
This may well be the second, but G2, they are holding firm so far,
near enough with a buffer of three.
Karmicorp, do they run through and take them down?
There are crocs in that North American armor.
This is the longest that G2 haven't shut out this season.
It's been 15 minutes without a ball in the net on the K-Core path
With four shots
G2, we're off to the races and they're slowing down right at the finish line
We're going to the Champions League to see who gets a ticket to the championship
So 15 minutes it's been six goals and there is only one winner in these series
Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up, game seven, here we go!
K-Corp with three games in a row, nothing to change with a lead.
They're comfortable, it's G2, they have to change things up.
Their offense has to get created.
Ryze has been a pillar in the net as Beast mode.
Tango's with Bahti.
As K-Corp do what they cannot, low boosts.
And they take all the real estate they can to keep G2 flundering
what they have in the past game.
Don't bring goals, just set the pace here.
Batty is going to tap it down a little.
That's it, waits.
He sees he's only getting that touch,
and so Shai's facing the ball.
But again, goes with Bill.
Beastman bumped away from it.
Daniel's going to get a convincing clear.
As Batty now has to track back and defend.
G2 stabilized.
They can move to an offense.
Beastman, no news.
Shai has to ride.
Batty beats him to the punch.
And they're going to see what they can do.
They get sent right back.
G2 needs to feel confident.
Confidence has been tough with this pretty game there!
There it goes!
The goal from G2 in 15-plus minutes.
K-Corp need a response, but you've got to be confident after what K-Corp have done so far.
They need a response as soon as they can get it as well.
So far, unable to win a single game when G2 have scored.
Peace mode, confidently, up high.
Receives the ball back down towards it.
Tomek Daniel with a great touch.
That's the force of mid-bash, and then collect material.
And the Voltaux, but Atomic, strong arms it.
That can't be more careful on these 50s.
And what the potential result could be, G2.
They've been able to force the ball to someone like Daniel.
But on the top, they pinch!
Atlantic and Atomic delivers the package
they're calling Corp did no one to receive.
One minute, 40 elapsed.
It's tuned to the good with the hometown arrows.
G2 starting with a snowball becoming an Alvalench.
The quick shots, the strikes, the K-Corp can't turn around for in time.
Now two goals for G2, there's still a lot of game seven left
and it's K-Corp coming close with the post and G2 with the beat.
And it's the-
Right hand side with Gumpoja and Boos gets over one, two,
not quite three, is Daniel now steps in the way.
Raijin he had a box his way on the retreat,
Ato beautiful flush slowing down Daniel, don't let G2 have time.
Daniel collects the corner boom on a second.
How do they deal with that, tall one?
If you think I'm in court care, does that just serve
to set them all on fire?
We're going to see a great pass across intercepted by Atto.
Halfway through the game, and it's still competitive as ever.
It's only within one.
It's within reach.
Grand finals on the horizon.
B-Sport trying his best.
Atomic retreat.
Daniel gets involved.
G2, the pressure bounce.
Vonte, second touch, just to clear.
just to get rid of it.
G2 can't get the belt, sir.
Fati with a good setup.
Beastman falls through.
K-Corp can't play that.
Right as he keeps composure as he battles down by on Beast mode.
Fati comes in to support him out of the way.
But a pass against Central all through next week
and Beastman shoots the wide.
K-Rise starts a ball on top.
He's going to fling Atoe on the wing.
Doesn't that boost?
And K-Corp need quality opportunities.
Daniel can't get the drop on him.
From Atoe over towards Beast mode.
That ball central, Beast load on the reset, comes through, Daniel with a win against Atto.
Can't put Bump Kim out of the way.
Here comes Fati, the cape for the French is on his back and now the corner is contested.
A lot of traffic, okay Bump to deal with Beast.
And it's Daniel that pops it up, Braz was ready on the wall.
G2 don't have space, now they're getting devil.
The minute is going to come even scarier.
So many more chances.
Less than a minute, Fati walks about off the wall.
The Beast will be allowed to rise 50s drops.
The chance for Ato will shut G2 too quick.
Ato with a little bit of possession keeps it going around the crowd.
They become more and more.
Charles Bato here to shoot.
Rise now, up for one, down for a second.
And for the Kings of North America.
He was almost in the cards.
So close.
Sold the closet.
We're going to be seeing G2 taking on the victor later on.
of BDS versus Falcons.
It may well come down to another event
where we don't see a European team in the final.
It could be a rematch of Falcons versus G2.
We've seen it before.
We've seen who comes out on top,
but there's still one more result to roll in
before we get there.
There's a lot of highlights to look as well,
but my word, do you see how much it means to Vaterra?
You see the tears on his face.
That man has got more dedication to Rocket League
than many others in the game.
On this chance, he didn't get the win.
G2, a sublime effort.
With back to back Game 7s out of G2,
the first championship Sunday for Daniel.
Atomic returns to the grand final.
This time, under the same banner,
the different teammates are London major champions,
are going for the World Championship crown.
This is an insane series.
The shot placement out of G2 was insane! Oh my God!
The story feels like it's straight out of the book.
A fairytale here in Dickey's Arena in Fort Worth.
Still more stories to write, at least continue the narrative.
Dickey's Arena, you asked, and G2 sent them home!
That was a nerve-wracking match, I bet.
A little bit.
I need you to walk me through this because, at the beginning,
It looked like you guys had it on lock, but something flipped. Walk me through that.
I think they got a lot of confidence because they had nothing to lose at that point.
And they just started rushing every ball and getting a lot of good dunks.
And that led to us kind of being in bad spots.
But it was also us just kind of wanting to close out the series too fast.
Oh, okay. A little bit ahead of yourself here.
Yeah.
So how do you reel it back in then? How do you stop that pressure you started feeling?
That's what Sathu does. He reminds us what we have to do.
He's able to objectively see what we stop doing and what they change.
And he tells us, in game 7, it's about having to execute,
but having him behind us makes us way more confident.
It's good to have that extra perspective.
Yeah.
Now, I was going to ask too, for him, is it more of a strategy talk?
is it more mental? Where does he lean in terms of directing the team in those moments?
I'd say it's strategy. He definitely knows how to like pump us up and he screams the loudest
out of all of us but yeah it's definitely strategic and telling us what they changed and what we
stopped doing. Well I'm curious then coming into a match like this I talked just before
and Falcon said they came in their matchup with a plan. How do you guys approach
these final moments you know the last two games you have to play on a championship Sunday?
right before this like after our last series obviously we were like coming down for a little bit because it was like ridiculous series but after that we were watching what we were doing right against I think it was like Falcons because we had a really good
We had a really good stream against them
and we were just reviewing that.
Now I got to ask, looking forward,
do you think we're going to get the Dickies Arena special
and an organizational rematch here
against BDS on the other side after their match?
Yeah, I think so.
A BDS win.
I'm looking forward to that.
And I think you guys are too.
Let's give it up one more time for Atomic and G2E Sports.
for the title of world champion in 2024.
The team built to do exactly this, has done it,
and they will also, they have completed at this point,
gives the run of making every grand final
they were eligible for this season.
And if you didn't buy tickets to this event,
you messed up, you messed up.
This has been one of the greatest tournaments ever.
G2 blocked the reverse sweep, another game seven,
And you expect, again, when a team loses three in a row,
who doesn't score for 15 plus minutes,
to crumble under that pressure, but G2 battle back.
And they had the big beauty, but K-Corp,
K-Corp started so slow.
B2 just hit him in the mouth immediately,
definitely coming more pressure to it
since they got warmed up in their previous
best of seven earlier in the day.
K-Corp reminded though that we're not no slouches.
We're the EU one for the first half of the season,
and that's why we're here to play.
Pushing them all the way to seven,
but then it came down.
You heard Masi, you heard the timing.
He's been sapping you, reminded of who you are, what you can do,
what they're doing, how to execute.
And then they broke the seal, finally scored once again at Game 2.
If this journey that they have had today is not proof that they are genuinely
the best team in the world, the most consistent,
not only physically on the field, but mentally.
I don't know what else could rally people behind me.
And that's going up against K-Corp, who normally are so mentally sound as well.
I saw Vati throughout that series zero goals did not score in it.
No, he did not score at all throughout that series and the K Corp.
It just started a little bit quicker.
That's the question mark about others.
Next match, she without the speed.
Yes, we saw G2 already played today, get a little bit of the warm up.
We saw it in those first three games.
Yeah, but I made all the difference with GDC.
They ran the score up.
But I think the first time on all terms, it gets a little high quality
squad and after that, it kind of looked like it took the foot off the gas.
And that's all it takes in Rockin' League for those of y'all back home.
Once you take your foveas, one game, that's all Casey needs,
that's all your opponent needed, and they kept running with it.
But that's what I loved about G2.
We said their offense has been kind of lackluster.
They would win based on defensive performances.
Well, there's four games that they won.
They scored three goals.
They scored two.
They scored six.
And then they scored three again on Champions Field.
The offense is starting to click.
And that is scary for whoever plays them in the final.
this right here that big deep ball by Atoll right there Farrell is laughing
mind you can't see he's like wow look we're gonna win anyway the energy in
the building has shifted the crowd and we're quiet but then after this the
boys struck immediately here's the people pass you didn't see the first
go the atomic zipped it right across the box to Daniel who spotted right in
the crossbar they made another great play and that's what you need if g2 are
going to become world champions obviously this mo is gotta do what he
does but it has to be Daniel it has to be atomic as well they all have
That's what I love about the first two goals.
It was a time like Daniel.
And then they hand it off to the MVP.
B-Smo just do it yourself.
They did it by himself over K-Karp
against that great defense over there.
G2, they prevail.
But this is the consequence of losing yesterday
and having to play in from the first match.
G2 could have to play three matches in a row here
if they want to win the title of world champion.
And carrying energy.
That's an exhausting match to play.
Having to war a full reverse sweep there.
That's probably more reverse sweep.
We've in the game seven hurt that they're gonna be exhausted
You have to find a way to stay in that like momentum headspace
Honestly, I after what I saw on this one because I was very curious if they were gonna be really tired up to the first initial game seven
I don't think they will be tired. There is a series in between
That's your moment to really just settle down come together and prepare for your last match. Well folks
James by standing by he got some analysis of G2. What do you see there James?
G2 had to fight tooth and nail for this victory and a great example of that is this game two overtime winner
Let's let's dive into it here. So beast mode punches it down field
You'll see a little bit of confusion in the corner of a tear a panic hit out Daniel with the first 50 atomic
Gets that challenge and then here you see that he gets a touch out
He sees over in the middle of the field beast mode shaping up
but he also sees Ato awkward in net facing towards the net and also rise in a very awkward position.
After Atomic makes this touch, he doesn't give up in the play.
Watch the angle that he takes across the wall as he continues on and prevents Ato from getting that jump.
You see he cuts Ato off at the perfect moment opening that shooting window that Beast Mode takes.
Rocket League is a game of inches and wow what a what a play that was by Tom
James will see if you keep up that consistency in the grand finals
But we have to find out who they are playing there are only three teams
Remaining at the world championship g2 awaits in the finals here for the conclusion of falcons versus bds
Falcons versus bds rematch at ewc for us. We saw it already in this tournament team falcons took down team bds
in the switch state in round two, three to one.
I think we're seeing a new BDS this time around.
There are rematches all over the place with a rematch of EWC here
in the preliminary final.
And then regardless of who wins gives,
we're going to get a rematch either Falcons versus G2,
a rematch of the London major finals,
or BDS versus G2, a rematch of the 2021-2022
Rocket League World Championship Grand Finals
held right here in Dickinson.
Man, it's going to be fun no matter who wins this.
At play at this point, we got three teams left.
any of them can possibly win.
Falcons BDS going to be incredibly close.
Again, we talk about the results in Swiss.
That wasn't in front of the crowd.
So we'll see how that all pans out.
But G2 might need to power that after that match.
We played 14 games already today.
Maybe a quick power-up and get ready for the finals.
We'll see how it goes, folks.
We're going to take a quick one.
When we come back, we find out who faces G2
in the grand final.
Stick around. You won't want to miss it.
BDS on the stage versus the Falcons.
After this.
I'm gonna be the one who's gonna be officially uniformed.
No tunes today?
No.
My apartment was robbed last night.
Oh!
Took my cable-ready TV, VCR, 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 just invented that.
This is the best day ever.
Well, I still got robbed.
It's a pretty good day.
This is the opportunity, the dream that you set upon yourself, here, waiting.
What we're watching four pros go through a dribble race on a four-year-old map that was
made by an incredibly brilliant, smart, handsome...
Didn't you make this map?
Wait a minute.
I think I did.
So you were right.
It's an incredibly difficult map.
Even now today, I released it back in 2020, and I'm excited to see Jnaps, Tho, Juicy
and Redosin go at it on this map and try it out for the very first time except for one player as maybe tried it before
Yeah, well and also I have played some of your maps before I actually uh learned aero right playing your rings map
Oh, really? Yes, you're welcome. Thank you
But this dribble map um this from what I've heard is a very challenging map
It's like how many levels and how when does it start getting hard?
There's 30 levels and it honestly starts off pretty decent
but even after level five, you kind of get into some pretty challenging things.
I'm excited to see how the pros handle it.
I wanted to create this map because we had dribble challenges before,
but honestly, most of the players at that point with their skills would breeze through the maps.
They knew what they were doing. They wanted something harder.
So I took the time and took months of my time to just put together a really difficult,
challenging set of challenges. And I think the pros are even going to struggle in 2024.
We'll have to see how far they get.
So they've got 15 minutes to get as far as they can or even beat it. Will they beat it?
I don't think so. But every level they beat, they get a point for their team. It's Janus and Thoe versus
Radosan and Juicy. Let's see who gets the best aggregate score. All right, here we go. This is
level zero. It's a nice little quick dribble to the first gate. But every level they beat here,
they're going to get a point for their team. Okay, so this is just a dribble map? It is,
and it's very tough. I made this quite a few years ago, but it still holds up, I would say,
for a skill. It's gonna be difficult.
And so how many total levels are there?
There are 30 levels.
30 levels.
They are not gonna make it that far today.
I don't think they have 15 minutes on the clock to get as far as they can and give as many
points on the board.
Looks like we're mostly on level two here.
So we're gonna have to see if they can get past it.
It's tough. If you go too fast, it's gonna trip you up.
But we have Tho and Radosa on level three now.
I went back and revisited this recently and I did not do as well as I first did when I played this map.
Alright, so when does it really start getting tricky in your opinion?
I would say level 8.
8.
Yeah.
You have level 5 here, which is a bit of a dribble through rings, which is a bit tough to navigate and get used to,
but then you go up a hill and you start to deal with some obstacles.
And then Tho is about to finish level 5 as well.
He is the furthest along so far.
And your level 6 is a nice little climb.
Oh, you have to jump right at the end of the wall.
Yeah.
That is demented.
That is a little mean.
I will say the whole challenge and then just don't maybe not see the gap
So that's kind of why I did it
This is level eight here for though and this level is where it really trips you up
It has moving moving golden platforms that will get in your way. You have to time your jumps
That's number one, but now there's two that go back and forth
Yeah, so it's a hurdle as well as the moving platform. It is it is evil
I will say I really wanted this this challenge to be
just like I said stand the test of time and really keep a good level of training
for players and you can see it's causing even pro players some trouble and you can
see everyone else is still on level five as well so all five's a long one I don't
think we're expecting to see path level 15 today yeah and you you also said
eight is where it's tricky it looks like though is starting to navigate it
always take his time that's smart oh his first pop wasn't great oh and he
Reset, okay, rados and might make it a little six. Just take his time here
For the shot he made a shot in a dribble map. I didn't expect that he also hit two rings
That was crazy. I did not think he was gonna keep that after that
He should make light work of this of this ram seven is gonna be a much quicker level
I think oh, we might have Janes with the finish. She's got one ring left here to get through. Can he do it?
He must be nervous. He's got a jump. He hasn't seen it. Did he flick it off target?
Yeah, you're seeing when players slow down and take their time and control the ball, they do well.
Radosan has a decent climb here. He's got the final turn. Can he make it?
I think he's got level eight in the bag.
Alright, now we have finally someone on the same level.
And they're on two different teams, so we have a bit of a competition.
The scores are equal right now. It's a tie.
It is. I just realized that.
The ball is bouncing. He must be nervous. He's got to make it here.
Oh, it's really bouncing.
Oh, Jane Eppes, come on.
He flipped it again!
No, don't get...
He's collapsing into the pressure.
We have to throw out the final jump here.
Can he make it to the number nine gate?
We might have the first number nine.
You know, he might be carrying his team
because if he gets past number nine,
Jane Eppes and Tho together could get a combined score.
Yeah, this has gotten interesting now.
We only have five minutes left on the challenge.
Oh, no, he lost it.
Oh, my gosh.
You're recovering.
Just air-drill bump.
Air-drill bump.
Air-drill bump.
Can I do it?
He did it!
He did it!
Level five is complete.
His hurdle is past.
Can he pass level nine?
That's a tough one.
He's doing the air dribble off the ramp, back to the platform, and there are three cylinders
that move, or three sets of cylinders that move back and forth.
But I mean, compared to the last one, I think level nine is not bad.
I think he's got it actually.
One more jump.
But the cylinders are coming.
I'm so good.
He's losing.
No, they crushed him.
Too much.
Janus might have level seven here.
He's up to level seven, so he only has to pass level seven now to get to the
the same level as Radosan and Juicy.
Right now the scores are tied.
Once again, we have nine and seven and two eighths.
Once they discover they can slow down and take their time,
that's when they're gonna really unlock their skills
on this level eight, because it is a tough one.
If you go too fast, they'll have another chance here.
Can he make it to level 10?
I think he did it.
Seven, yes!
There we go!
Now he's on the wheel of misfortune.
This level is a quick window on the ground.
You have to air dribble over it as it moves towards you.
So you have to constantly do little air-drill pops.
You know what's crazy?
I made this map four years ago.
That's four, four years ago.
And players of this skill it's still testing them and then so when you released it for years ago
I'm assuming there were probably people living in the first month when it looks like though might actually all he did it
Oh, he did it pass here into the ramp and there's level 11. Wow, JNF's JNF's
Please he's got it. He made it to level eight at the very end. There's only 10 seconds left
He clustered the very end what an incredible run. It looks like throwing jams will take the win if that is it
So that was the let the beer dribble challenge congratulations to though and Jane apps for getting the win taking down juicy and radosin
It's not easy to beat the front 100% those guys are very very good at dribbling
They have had so much practice with other challenge maps similarly that and the fact that though and jazz pulled the win
Especially after J daps we're pulling our hairs out watching the two of them
Getting so close all the levels and jazz missed the big game twice on the same level
I'm honestly very proud of him that he kept going I think a lot of players with a range better that it and you know
Honestly 15 minutes to get as far as they did some presser. I probably would still be stuck on like level three
Oh, I there's probably still people that are soul stuck on that level four years ago
Well, I mean speaking of four years ago. You made that dribble challenge map
Do you think it's possible? We could get another one. Maybe sometimes soon
But on that note, I hope you guys enjoyed as much as we did until next time have a great day
for work after G2 sent calming core home G2 what a performance and honestly one of the loudest e-sports crowds
I've ever heard in any venue across the 10 years of been doing this just the atmosphere here is electric
It's a pleasure to be up on this desk when like the game ends and G2 wins especially because obviously it was the opposite
We wouldn't hear anything it would just be crickets but it is great to see G2 in the finals for this crowd especially
Especially and it's the same when we go to Europe. I was like one European in the final
I want someone that this crowd can root for and get behind it
Obviously G2 is gonna be fan favorites in that fight and we were just talking gives before we got on camera that this really feels like the best
Championship we've ever had to game seven. I don't care how long the day is if the games are gonna be this good
How's this one right so far for you? This is right pretty pretty better than six
Six
Six is special if he's got to get the job done for it to be better than six.
Six is legendary for a reason.
The cloud nine, they won.
And that's why if they didn't get the job, they get that thing.
It's us rostered at dinner.
They didn't win the matter.
So that's why six is really legendary.
That's very, very true.
We still got history left to be written here, but that will be written.
It's wild to me in these moments.
Kids to think about the fact that like within like three hours,
like when we're eating dinner, we will know who the world champion
is for 2024.
We don't know right now.
It's wild.
And also last year, too.
We have like all favorites went in and went in pretty convincingly. We barely saw neotokyo
That was like a guarantee every matches at least you took you and then we got two champions field today alone. Yeah
We from cake or yeah to
Special days were blocks as well. It's been it's been what that means we're do for one, right? No, surely
Crazy folks the bracket has been spicy
I see on knock on desk here.
I'm worried about cursing that we have yet to have a sweep
in the bracket.
It's been the most competitive world championship
bracket, honestly, I think, in the history of the game.
Only way we're going to have a sweep in these remain
in two matches, that one of these teams just
forgets how they rock the league completely.
So these matches should be guaranteed, at least going
to five.
That's what I would say.
Five or six, close over times throughout.
That's how all these teams play.
You have some of the best keepers in the game.
two defense legendary focus defense legendary BDS defense they got muckin man I mean that's a legend in
themselves and they're legendary they're all too good they tell you feeling about g2 were you worried
I know I didn't hear the desk but how did you feel after that one your heart still pumping I mean I'm
I'm fine I'm fine I'm cool I'm cool I'm like that's not done if you're an NA fan and a fan of
your arena if you want to see g2 win they got to get it done I know they've been in every
second grand final I know they're one of the major champions but they're not world champions
Two times in RLCS history.
We've seen this organization.
We've seen that organization make it all the way
to a grand final.
And two times, they've come up short.
You know how that was at the end?
Nobody, so.
I wanted one when we're getting into talking about the match.
I want to talk about those teams specifically.
But again, like the rematch is here that are on the line.
If Falcons win, we get a rematch of the London major,
the last RLCS major that happened.
If BDS wins, they face off against G2 in the building.
They beat G2 on the World Championship Grand Finals
in two years ago.
One of these stories is going to come true.
Time to find out which one.
Introducing first, on the blue side.
First, they've conquered Mina.
Now, they've come to conquer the world.
In the world by myself, they have still not proven it
when it matters most.
In finals or in this world championship,
they have two more matches to prove it here.
They played BDS Swiss Round 2.
The last game was seven goals for Falcons to two for BDS.
So they're going to want to pick up right where they left off.
But Falcons are the comeback kings, I swear.
They may drop a game.
They may go to even drop two.
They'll take a timeout and they'll look like a brand new team.
But I think Falcons are done tripping over those laces.
Now they know their competition.
They've been to a final against BDS,
and they want to rewrite that story.
I mean, every time you have a team that kind of gets
this curse on their back of, oh,
We succumb to the pressure over and over again.
The more times that they have that pressure,
the better they get at dealing with it.
But this is going to be a pressure, unlike any other.
Introducing their opponents on the orange side,
representing Euro.
Can they?
We saw them on the stage.
They were playing against G2.
We thought, oh, the Boos are because they're playing
the hometown here.
They're playing the crowd favorites.
No, I think that Texas just remembers
and holds a grudge against BDS for the last time
we were in Dickey's.
the first world championship for trolley but what teammate study has exotic is
having one of the best performances I've seen out of him and if monkey one goes
to a grand final again yet Bates you're gonna have to put him number one in your
tier list best player in the world right
I'm gonna win listen I say I say this though I say exotic he has been
performing he's been clutching in the moon man he's not in phase by the
booze this is two years removed from the world championship in this arena he
He knows what he needs to do, and he just stands in a way.
They're deeper than some solid because of him.
And just three weeks ago, they played in the EWC finals,
and that was Falcons, Fulham, Turf, and BDS came out
and destroyed them.
Falcons scored two goals in their four losses in that match.
BDS won the series four games to two.
They were the underdogs, BDS, then.
Now it feels maybe a little more point-flippy.
I'm not sure which way to go.
But again, the crowd is against BDS.
Well, just three weeks ago, it was the same exact thing
and BDS came out on top.
I mean, but this is the Falcons roster, right?
They're the stats leaders.
Every time we check on the accolades that we're
going to be giving out the way at the end,
it comes to offensive stats.
This is the team that's got it in spades.
And this is the team that was the thing that used to be
the difference maker against Oxygen.
It was the difference maker against Oxygen.
Does that carry them here, though, against BDS?
So the one issue is their defense, right?
I'm not sure what the numbers were like,
but I have a feeling that if your grand finalist
You're the 12th best defense in the tournament.
That does not happen often.
Falcons have to clean that up.
Yes, their offense is the best in the world,
but you don't need to be the best in the world.
Just play a little bit better defense
and you'll be just fine.
So Falcons have to figure that out.
And Falcons is about quantity.
And it comes to quality, but it comes with suffocation.
It's really hard to break out of your own half
when you're going up against the Falcons.
And it says it in the stats,
almost four shots for Roas.
And his teammates match that too.
and he talked about a wave offensive warlords out there.
He's over one goal per game, Roas,
and one assist per game as well.
That is unheard of.
That has never happened.
See, I mean, the other thing we talk about with Falcons
all the time, though, is their speed.
And they had that.
I think when it comes to the mechanics baits,
they've just got everything it needs.
They need to be the best team in the world.
And they've gotten more and more experience dealing
with the pressure of being on the stage.
Every time they go to the stage,
I feel like this might be the last time we see Falcons
lose.
They might never lose again once they figure out
pressure situation. Listen they got to play a complete series though. They can have all the pressure.
Alas for all the goals. Negan average 1.0, his brother can average 1.0, TRK guys 1.15. It doesn't
matter when you're playing against BDS. They suffocate defensively. They'll pull you in and
they'll keep on dominating. Frustration, frustration, frustration. And so eventually you over
commit and then you move strikes. Then exotic push it in your neck. So Falco's office is great
but you got to be precise and clinical.
And the individuals on BDS are so confident
to go for those solo plays against any team.
Excited because of my fantasy team,
and I'm on my feet when he's going for double taps
against anyone's backboard.
So Falcons really got to be careful on defense
to not let that area happen.
And it means so much for the Falcons
to go deep in these tournaments
because they're tested three to four times a year.
When they go to these international events,
BDS, it's weekly for them.
It's scrims against the best in Europe,
the best region in terms of depth there is.
So BDS has always been tested. Falcons though, they only get tested when they come here and it
feels like when there's a crowd and they get tested they do fall apart at some point but
eventually wave as you've said they will win one it's just is it today? Is there a trap here for
BDS? Is there a weakness that Falcons can exploit? And that's why they're a top 14 right?
But it's more about you gotta slow down the game against the Falcons. If you play at their
speed you will lose. And that's what's so good about BDS and how they actually beat
Falcons last time was slowing down Falcons and making them uncomfortable and
forced them to play slower and Falcons their speed is what makes them so
suffocating and so aggressive and crazy. That's why they can put up an insane
amount of goals if they can meet them halfway in the midfield make these
transitions difficult that's how BDS can win. Jatt let us know who you think
is gonna win. Hashtag FLCN and Jaff Falcons hashtag BDS for the
Frenchman here we will make our picks on the desk lemon who you got
But I think I got a change of my champion
I'm gonna go with the Falcons the crowd kind of convinced me there. They beat him last time
I think Falcons can do it again
I have Falcons winning this whole thing and there was one small doubt versus K-Corp, but I figured quality loss wave
I'm going Falcons. I think they are the best team in the world and they're gonna prove it here today
Augustans are making some noise in the arena and that's great
I think Falcons are a great team
But you gotta earn your stripes and if you want to become a world champion and Dickie's arena
The road goes to monkey mode it goes with that old and I believe that BDS will be rematch G2 in the grand finals
I got BDS
It's crazy, I didn't know until right now who I was gonna pick
Because there's a great story to be made for either side here, but I do believe that the
experience on this stage over and over again, having been in front of a crowd that was against
them and now having the crowd at their backs means Falcons will earn a chance to play
for the title of world championship in 24.
We'll see if they can do it.
But how does the point feel?
We got BDS on one side.
We have the Falcons on the other.
And we're going to go with BDS on that one as it's going straight towards the camera for it.
So BDS could be the pick from the coin.
Question was, it seemed like you wanted to flip it.
I wasn't trying, if anyone ever thinks that I'm doing something, I'm just trying hardest not to drop it.
That's all that's happening there, folks.
A narrow favorite in chat.
The Falcons are a narrow favorite on the desk as well.
But this one is so, so close, folks.
So three teams remain at Fort Worth, but only two can play for the title of World Champion.
The finals have never been closer, yet these seven games will feel longer than ever.
The Middle East is fastest and fiercest versus the Champions of Dickey's Arena.
All their hard work culminates in this moment.
It's Falcons versus BDS for a second dance with G2.
It's a dream to play on that stage.
But for these two teams, the dream is to win a world championship.
Only one spot and the grand finals remains.
Falcons versus BDS to decide who goes on to the grand finals.
Game one at Manfield brought to you by Progressive,
our penultimate match of the world championship.
As that one just ricochets wide,
It is not a hope for either of these teams to be in the final.
It is an expectation that you show up.
Anything less is a disappointment for these squads.
They've been playing at a high level all year long,
but they still have to keep going.
Both teams have trained back and forth.
We've seen them on international competition,
highs and lows, but it comes down to this series right here.
Who will have their chance to take more G2,
the World Championship?
The NBDS following a similar trajectory to when they won it all here two years ago.
Three different faces when you include the coaching change as well as exotic landed on a quarter booster.
He can follow this play up. So do you can probably only monkey man remains from that world championship squad for us almost one one through.
But Charlie will be there to collect as they go back and forth going jazz either way winning for someone to flinch
Broly shot walk my killers follow up here. It's just a little bit why?
He has given a little bit closer here some of the place. It's gonna watch out for the counter. It's a quick shot
TRK quick to put that one network
Charlie able to get to denial here and he has become for your dds
I mean such a strong starting from them, but all it takes is one last judgment of Alcons will turn the knife around quickly
We're lost, right at Exotic, and Exotic the better of the two on that exchange.
Falcons will try again to clear from the opposite side now, and we're lost.
We'll only get as far as midfield.
Here comes Exotic again.
Boy, he has put in so much work here on this floor all the time that BDS has spent here in Fort Worth.
What have it been due to Exotic's continued impressive play?
He'll drop one down to a drifty moon and trolley lands the door shut on the near side.
The other side of things for Mountain, for Walpin, has been there almost a close chance,
but it will be denied.
CTRK, for how to force this one made, does get it down there, but Drolley will deny.
And now Falton's in a good position to be able to trap the ball here.
Watch when these players get on the ball.
Sometimes that high nerf lets you throw away that possession away,
but so far everyone's been kind of keeping it close.
So, I had a 50 game thought this kind of no-for, but they got a double commit for the shade there.
The twins both up to make sure that stayed out no follow-up out of BDS immediately take their time
Here's exotic again picking a spot for what says no, but the net is open and probably passes it on BDS strike first
Again, he spoke about exotic and you see him go into work here
He is able to pull off every single member the team falcons makes the net as open as possible
Forcing that don't do it. That's the threat of exotic now falcons
Down by one, 220 to go here.
It has not been a dominant run through this world championship for
Team Falcons.
They proved to be vulnerable, especially yesterday.
Killers have that call towards the RK, but he's going to be a little
lost instead around the board.
No threat on the other side as it goes all the way over to Killers.
Lucky Moon at least sets on by.
Raholi starting to charge in, but he turns off and he's not as
We'll keep it at the back.
They're not going to dive in until Falcons give them something to worry about.
Unification for Falcons is really solid.
They aren't overcommitting on offense.
They do have some strong field positioning.
You can see that part is to BDS.
But still, they're not sending everybody up here.
There are always people that are kind of back behind that midfield line yet.
While everyone is in front, it's working to make BDS uncomfortable.
But BDS still maintain a one goal lead in Falcons.
Maybe he's just giving up.
They're giving these midfield challenges.
And Trolley on top of the ball.
I didn't want to do too much with it.
Off here, I can't, I was gonna take this time around Mucky Moon,
but Mucky Moon gave him none of it.
So back it goes.
Boy, how about the patience of Exotic?
Not panicking at all.
It'd be so easy to do with all the pressure playing on the World Championship stage.
This late, multi-moon high, Exotic denied.
Good people are born exotic.
Expect the Mucky Moon to get the flip and follow it up perfectly.
A minute ago, though, Falcons troubled.
Unable to really get anything going offensively they haven't even keep up the field position
but BDS's defense has been very solid they spent the series to keep tight going in but
that's a good 50.
Xanac was last back doped perfectly in time before someone behind him to pick up that demo
play.
BDS have to maintain this wonderful lead.
Falcons trying to get out of their arms over that riff on the side is not going to help
matters at all.
Now Xanac just playing the possession game trying to bring it away for killers
and now here come Falcons all just diving into the BDS half of the field they
realized now is the opportunity that drops down BDS in trouble
killers denied by Trowley. The Arcane Roulos, that's Roulos who takes charge 15
to go. Roulos going low and the Sharpened Killers walked out. He was hunting you
can see him in the right spot. JTOTK trying to drop it down, looking to extra
Touch.
Rwars was keeping the killer's goals for him, though.
And then TNT's low boost.
Rwars has enough.
He won't be able to get to the ball.
Is there anyone there to keep this up?
Killers does.
And TRK off the respawn.
Rwars boosted, dropped it low.
Popped up high.
Probably with the 50, it goes off the corner.
And Rwars kicked in.
Does keep that ball in play.
TRK pops it up high.
Killers is waiting, hunting.
He gets it through.
No one did that for BDS.
This is unbelievable.
Out of team Falcons and they may get one more shot.
Corner play defense for an extra minute, it felt like,
but still holds firm.
But that is a great sign for Falcons though,
that fight towards the end.
They are telling VES they're not stopping until the ball hits the ground
and they made it look, they made VES look very uncomfortable,
especially in those later stages.
I think honestly if you look back there,
that Mucki Nusantor, at the end everybody was low on boost,
Drowing exotic hit a double commit monkey mower to make that decision to go for the turn get that block out with
Actually everything BDS needed up that space kept them in the game this one
I mean it's gonna come down to those types of plays it may be small in the moment, but it's a big-time block out
Imagine that this late in the tournament a one goal game as we look back at the mobile one high performance
Replay and the only goal you'll see is that little bouncer out of drawing lots of near misses high drama in the opener
but still only one nil for the 2022 World Championship.
It kind of feels weird calling them the former World Champion.
Because again, there is only Monkey Moon
who remains from that roster.
But what a performance from BDS
as they had kind of been written off
near the later stages of this season,
especially after their performance in London.
All they've done since then,
win a LAN and put themselves in position to win another.
no monkey moon watching that's the biggest thing here he's been in this arena
before and he has held the trophy and he would certainly like to do it again
we've got stopped the brand-new options who have been dominating especially more
so towards the end of London nature we've adopted all season one the three
most dangerous letters in the RLCST RK strikes first 19 seconds in Falcons
make a statement early and they hold off BDS though when you're most susceptible to giving up a goal right after you scored one
Everyone that's about to have able to dictate the case you're gonna watch the control ball a little bit more
So turn up the things there towards the end of both teams. I didn't really get involved. Oh trolley
Rail the shot towards Ned give on TRK to get the stop out expect high defense here from both teams
Oh, but BDS is trying to force the issue.
He gives Dimon some lucky lower wastes of big 50,
but it wasn't good enough.
Drawling with the equalizer.
How about Exotic just holding his ground in the air
and Drawling the follow-up.
Quick answer out of Team BDS.
Once again, Exotic bringing Habit here on Falcons.
It was a speed test there on that plane.
You already had that initial 50, but Tipper's didn't have the boost.
And Drolley was able to get there first.
Sometimes that's all it takes in these situations.
So now, equalized scoreline, anybody's game, and
the physicality is starting to ramp up.
Also passing as well.
What else will we see out of this one?
No, we'll see at least one more goal.
Who will it come from?
Drolley chases GRK all the way to the back line.
Killers, Nittfield, Warner!
He said, don't get it, and my goodness, did he?
When does he jump?
He's up so quick.
I didn't think he was gonna beat Mookie Moolen today.
He's playing good for them through it.
Here we go.
Foul kids fighting back after being held scoreless in game one.
They are showing them fighting game two, but they gotta be careful,
because BDS still knocking at the door.
They do have that quick hitter capability, but that one's given right to you,
Rwass got Bugser could follow it up as quickly as he'd like, but Kid Steele
boosts from underneath Drolley. There'd be trouble now for BDS. Oh, good care for
Rwass. Almost dead at the Machu-Gol-Lee. They're not done yet though.
Twins are all over BDS right now. Another boost Steele, and Monkey
moves gotta be sure handed at the back, and he is. And it's over to Drolley!
The rookie does it again! One a touch here as well.
Monkey Moon forcing the 50th strength to draw a great field positioning.
He just as able to get the touch before the demo and back to back goals.
Their training left and right.
We had a strong defense in game one, but it's been offense taken away here in game two.
First minute Falcon score early.
Team BDS scores at the end of the minute.
Second minute, same exact thing.
Gotta work a little bit harder to knock out Team BDS.
Alrowas watches exotic go over top, but that one back down his run and Groudy was there waiting on the north step
Just couldn't quite pull the trigger
Team Falcons have a plenty of boost here guys. They haven't been starved out
They have kept BDS in pretty precarious positions
But BDS have made the absolute most out of what little they've been given
Well our teams, at least a couple teams I've talked to, talk about Falcons being a team that can kind of make you a little bit uncomfortable
to play against, but DBS, I mean, they're very familiar with those types of play styles.
And you can tell they have no boosts and they're all forward.
They're all forward because, again, it's just out of the illusion of the field positioning.
Forcing five minutes to maybe play differently on top of the ball.
There's a big shot, but it's blocked away.
Exotic still keeping this tie in.
Giving it a tie game with no boosts in the tag.
And then they manage to get this downfield that we're all set to do.
boost is 95% to five for Team Falcons and still they cannot break away from Team BDS.
They came over there from Monkey Moon, there's no boost, there's the flick,
is it gonna be a goal?
Whoa, he's got to win it, he's got it!
He's up the century out of Monkey Moon, he knew exactly where TRK was gonna send it,
kept it available, earns an assist for his efforts as well.
It's punch, counter punch, back and forth between Falcons and BDS.
Oh man, it's that 50.
Monkey Moon again, he's just so quick to the ball here.
Championship Sunday Monday with Monkey Moon.
That's a close booster.
Trying to get later, here goes Monkey Moon again.
Exotic was looking to steal some boost.
Monkey Moon's shot blocked by Rilas.
And this time no easy follow up out of Team BDS.
But that's where Falcons are trying to get burned.
second and third chance opportunities.
I mean, they've given so many rebound chances.
And while Team BDS have not exactly lit up the scoreboard,
they've at least made Falcons work a little harder
than they'd like.
That one almost struck down at Drunker.
Ross had to save the day,
and probably will have to sit up
for just slowing down Falcons out of the zone.
I mean, it's a mix of that first man aggression
on the side of BDS,
where there's the boost skill of the pump,
and then it's the second man challenges
that have been very fast.
Second man's always gonna be a very hard position
The Rockin League of BDS has been barely put to the ball.
And it's been kind of tough for Larkin to keep up speedwise.
We've seen moments where it's worked out.
But BDS so far have used it to gain the lead and hold the lead.
20 seconds in regulation.
Mucki Mola's state challenge after state challenge.
But Owas finally able to get the ball.
Drowley's up early, though.
He's got to send a packing.
13 seconds now.
Mucki Mola on top of that one.
This one, pinch off the wall.
TRK, are we going to see some last-second heros
here on the side of Team Falkus.
This one drops down.
Monkey Moon with a big time clearance.
And Roas trying to collect.
They got to go to the left of the field.
Demo on the play.
Monkey Moon takes out TRK.
But Roas is still moving forward.
Trying to get that one, but he can't keep up with the ball.
And Team BDS take game two.
Well, the common philosophy here is you've got two in a row.
Time for a timeout.
We'll see if that is the case for team Falcons as they drop another one goal game this one where they led twice
But let BDS answer back very quickly and then in the end
exotic the game winner and
Team BDS are halfway to another shot at the title
You look at you look at BDS here
Fantastic work offensively the numbers also kind of interesting here to
BDS, seven shots from Drowley, four shots from Monkey Moon,
two shots from Exotic, you look at two of these seven saves out of him,
and two from a loss.
Definitely a more defensive game on the side of Falcons,
but it didn't feel like it for the first half.
BDS starts to turn things up after the second.
I mean, the first half did take a long time for all the early goals
that were going in in those first couple of minutes.
But then BDS hunkered down offensively and forced Falcons into the back end.
Once they took the lead, it was just pressure, pressure,
not give Falcons any space.
Look at him.
Man, he almost scored that initial touch.
Great follow-up from the guy to give him the game.
There have been a lot of questions asked about this BDS squad.
And I mean, rightfully so.
A lot of change coming into this season,
especially how good was this drawly going to be?
Well, that's been answered.
He has been a superstar.
How good is Casio going to be as the coach?
he has emerged as one of the bright coaches of the scene.
Very rare for a team with this much turnover
over the period of time that BDS has had
to still stay at the level they have
and yet through it all,
all they've done is finish at the top of the rival series,
finish at the top of RLCSX,
win the world championship, go to another world's final.
Now there are two wins away from doing it again
and on the other side,
Team Falcons were then also close so many times.
They can get the finals on their home soil,
on foreign soil.
They haven't been able to seal the deal just yet.
How many more shots is a guy like TRK going to get?
This is one of his best chances with the twins by his side.
But at the end of this time out,
they will have two games to figure it out
against Team BDS.
Championship Sunday, not Team Falcon's favorite day.
They've got to turn the narrative around.
Their defense, something they're known for so well,
but it has been faltering when it's come stage time here
at the Rock N'Reed World Championship.
Killers pass to the WoWs.
Time to go for the high shot, walked out by Muckamoon.
Another pass in the field, but no one's there to collect.
He was so far back, in a blaze dash,
try to play a corner, get to the corner while you're right.
Low boost.
I just watched three players from BDS all fight
over the same boost, and they still didn't concede a goal.
They're just killers.
Got to get one drop down in front here,
and Exotic says no.
Thank you.
Another one, Jack Emmerd, down in front.
Still loose, available, and popped away.
Team BDS, weather the storm again.
But this is good positioning for Falcons.
They started off early.
Keep the BDS stuck in their own hands.
Guys, a good shot from TRK for the hits across the bar.
Killers was a little too far forward.
He gets demoed, Mawasu with a full take of boost.
Able to get back to get a stop for the time being.
You see Maki going to wait for that midfield pass.
Almost got to cut this.
If you're on a TBS, you get the time for the pass
for Drowley able to stop these TRK low boosts.
Unless that would pop over him,
but Drowley was privy to it.
Anytime BDS gets a piece of the ball,
they're going to use it to make
that thing so comfortable.
Loose ball in midfield that one just jumped back in by team Falcons could have been dangerous
TDS was able to get it cleanly
Killers toward the back wall won't something good happen
So he's got to put in some extra work that he does so to block that from ever becoming a shot
Another one thrown way downfield to test the Falcons
One of the twins at the back with TRK. It's real off how to drop down to killers TRK
Maybe getting a little too close
And he'll have to play that from the side.
Can he take it himself?
He don't fuck the moon.
Very cautiously over towards Drolley.
And Team BDS still don't feel threatened at all.
What a big win out of Exotic.
That's dangerous.
And in from the rookie.
Drolley again.
This one off of the assist from Exotic.
TRK, a little bit of panic there as the ball rolls
all the way over his head.
Couldn't get the touch, needed off that back wall.
And it's an open look for BDS.
We've seen time and time again.
BDS's offensive aggression, making T-1000s
a little bit panicky on defense.
And once the net is open, I mean, it's just a simple tap in.
That's all BDS has to do.
Maki Mune is trying to drop another one down
in a favorable position.
This time exotic with big charge.
Center of all, TRK just about gave it away to Threlia,
but he couldn't force it through.
Now back to the other way.
two to B. Trolley coming in from the back.
Exotic thought about going.
Now he's on the back wall with Trolley.
They got to sort that out.
Looks like they have with Mucky Moon
coming in to stabilize and Exotic
will just take possession in the air
and give them time to reset.
And that's another job well done
by the defensive team BDS.
Moutain's low, a little bit of room to work with here.
Greatness of challenge there for Mucky Moon.
Trying to slow things down.
Don't want to give him a free ball in the midfield.
Oh, it's okay in a tough spot though.
At the top of the initial demo,
it was to make sure we didn't pitch it off to the sides of BDS.
But look at that, another triple commit!
He fits the point down again, and Drolley collects it,
and now it's a two goal lead for BDS.
Stop me if you heard it.
Exotic to Drolley.
Two nil BDS.
I mean, listen, our series starts
with the first three games.
Clearly, nothing mattered this weekend.
But right now, Pal gets on really up against it
and running out of time.
Very, very quickly.
Trolley, up high, get hard now.
We're washed with the clear.
Team Falcons on defense are looking very shaken.
And they're giving up goals they do not need to give up.
There's another midfield pass.
Oh, okay, just can't even get a read on it.
A minute 30.
BDS, they've got to control the ball here.
Keep playing their aggressive style.
Falcons don't seem to have an answer at all.
Oh, the vision is there.
But a vision without execution is merely a hallucination.
Here goes Killers.
Nothing else on tap here for King Falcons.
For a loss over to TRK and still nothing directly at the net.
It just kind of falters in front.
There's a bump on the back wall.
Another opportunity but nobody on the weak side.
And still, Falcons yet to capitalize on an opportunity
here in game three.
That talk was very exotic.
And still, he recovers to power it away.
So much time killed here from the clock.
Falcons, gotta take it from around the field again.
So much high energy early on in the series,
but it does feel like they're slowing down.
Can Rolaz hit this with midfield.
Gets it straight down.
And even if TRK was there, he got jibbled by Drown.
So free ball, Rolaz wants to keep this one in.
Got a bump on Mucky Lumin, he's out of the state of the cover.
TRK with the shot and a got it.
A great recovery, great recovery and a great stop.
20 seconds left.
Falcons just want something here, but it's clear
EDS is not giving it to him for free.
Matter of fact, that net is looking wide open,
flicks down the field and won't matter.
It's on it, gets the goal.
Another resounding statement from Team BDS,
who are about to be five minutes away
from another shot at disappointing North America
here in Texas.
Final countdown on victory lap in game three
as Team BDS inch ever closer to the finish line.
Time and time again.
The phrasing I would constantly hear
is Falcons are the best team in the world
until they get to the grand finals.
That is not the case right now. I don't even know what we just saw out of them on the back end
You're going up against a team like BDS of course BDS are familiar with this matchup
They've had that preparation to head prior lane experience on this matchup as well
And they are coming out and making a statement
Not just the team falcons, but also the G2
And when you look at I mean you look at the simple stats right the shots
Those are the easiest thing to look at and you go okay clearly BDS must have so many more than team Falcons, right?
No, not the case at all. There's only one game where BDS has vastly outshot team Falcons
But they're taking advantage of the opportunities that have been presented to them
Whereas team Falcons they have the shots me at TRK had five shots
He's scored one goal in this series
Again, when they get an opportunity in front, they don't have the follow-up and give credit
as well to the defense of Team BDS.
Exotic and Monkey Moon especially, as great as Prolly's been on the offensive end.
They've created some messes and cleaned them up themselves.
One win away, Team BDS from another state with G2.
We've seen this situation so many times in this building.
Our team goes up three.
3-0 man what a save. Hold on. Lucky Moon probably went a little early. Falcons though they're at 0.
Roas will force Exotic back if he didn't boost it up. Now I gotta say we've seen a team go up 3-0
in a series and then all of a sudden we're in game 7. Will that be the case here? Can it work?
Can BDS close it out right here right now? If Roas makes the shot it's going to make it a
The Harders, Balkans on the board.
A rare miscue out of Exotic as you went flying by
an awkward ball at midfield.
They find Galas for a much needed, early lead.
Balkans leads have not lasted very long in this series.
Can they make this one last when they need it most?
Galas trying to get that double connect
off the one side, see Galas now.
Playing this high on the side wall,
wants to see Drowley clear the turn.
Drowley steps past the special plate, gets into Mucki-Wan.
They're clear there for Mucki-Wan.
He's a lot of moves.
Roulos doesn't have any, so he's waiting on the pad.
So Killers will go up for him.
TRK able to assist.
Roulos moving up in the field.
He's playing that right side.
Killers on the left.
BDS stuck on that back wall, trying to clear the ball out.
Mucki-Wan able to find some space.
It's a good read on the plate defensively for BDS,
trying to get him to stop the bleeding,
But it's been a all-out possession until that double-commit.
And now, Killers will have to buy his team some time.
That dropped straight down.
DRK tried to go for it.
But the defense cleared the way for Ross to DRK.
Oh, what a rip.
When you need it most,
point the vision out of Ross.
No, and DRK is right there.
Put it on a time for him.
Needed that desperately.
Two-nil.
Surely this one can hold.
Maybe another for Ross.
No! Follow-up from Killers just a touch too slow.
Oh, and getting another closeout game.
We're seeing the team down.
Starts to show some fight.
Great offensive performance from Falcons,
but we're actually connecting on the pressure.
I think I ought to be careful not to over-exaggerate.
Exotic, you can take it that demo.
There's no one in net right now with full boost.
Well, how do you get a high fliegel?
A lot of challenges to cut off the play.
Exotic, quick turn with the midfield boost.
Left it for Drowley and the save made.
No follow on a Mucky Moon on target.
It was easily blocked.
Now Killers just ahead of exotic.
Team Falcon settling in now.
In the game they absolutely must win.
Will it be enough?
Oh, they almost won that one too.
There's tracking on the plane.
Expect it to get to where the clearance is gonna be,
but it wasn't enough.
BDS still be two.
Falcons would love to camp out on this end of the field.
Here comes the follow TRK blocked by Exotic.
So close.
Somebody plays big time here.
Brawley's actually up for that.
Got a redirect, but TRK on the back wall.
Now's Rwass.
He's got a double.
Does he get it?
This is the team Falcons everybody talks about.
As one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best.
But they still have a long way to go to prove it.
Three goal lead, biggest lead anybody's had in this final
matches what BDS had at the end of game three.
So, got it, awkward, we're lost.
He's going to play it away, he can't wrap around the ball.
Defense is going to get back in time.
We may see a shutout here.
Found things to keep up this performance.
BDS starting to see them die aggressively for the play.
1v1 situation, TRK 50, is it through?
No, BDS able to deny.
Watch exotic.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Oh, but, look at exotic cut right through the defense,
right 50 in front, and monkey mode able to find the target.
Now it's a two goal game, and BDS,
it's still in their favor if they can get something quick.
Occumence turned up, but it was skydive, exotic, got it right ahead.
Get, catch up!
TRK gets it right back.
That's exactly what you need if you're falcons.
Look at this great touch from Killsman for the demo.
TRK, another great shot out of him.
Exotic just couldn't read it.
Back to a three goal lead with a buck 36 to go.
Last buck to ball in, he still can stay with the fly,
but watch out.
This is a quick counter out of Team BDS and Killers
is there to shut it down.
So now for Team Falcons.
It's settle in just a little bit.
Maybe not let their guard down as much.
Company's going real confident
now that they've lit up the scoreboard to some degree.
Probably blocked by Killers.
A lot of those shots that were not
blocked in previous games.
Team BDS finding a lot of Falcons defenders instead.
And also, conceding on the other side, it almost did.
So, again, Bookaboo can't get that one quick through
as GRK and Killers combine to fend them off.
And you're starting to see Falcons just get
a little bit more confident, a lot of trust in each other.
They're able to connect one really strong pass plays,
and there's not too much panicking
on the back end defensively.
40 seconds remaining, three goal game in favor of Falcons.
BDS trying to search for something here, but they are sent packing in very aggressive on the offensive front for a while
But that one almost more targeted their killers just bought past the goal line
Time to start a tick down, but this one does so it's like Falcon finally started turning things around
Better late than never when you still have a life. You'll take it
Skillers tried to get on back to TRK
What can you say team Falcons?
Another team here on the World Championship stage
in the final weekend of the season that's gone down three
and started to claw their way back.
One down, three to go.
In this situation, you got to take it game by game.
And that's exactly what Falcons do in this particular situation.
Great offense out of them.
Assist from everyone as Laas shot two for three.
2 for 5. Falcons get things going. BDS actually starts to look really awkward for the time being.
It just felt like they were playing catch up as Falcons dictated the pace.
In the RLCS, Team BDS has not beaten Falcons on land this season in two tries.
Again, you have what happened in Riyadh at the Esports World Cup.
But this is a different stage, and that might start creeping into the minds.
If not of the players, certainly of their fans of, well, wait a minute,
how are we actually going to extinguish this team?
Still need one more game.
And as other teams have found so far today,
getting that last win to close out a team at the end of the season is oh, so difficult.
Yeah, because those first games you feel so comfortable.
But then when it comes down to it, you know,
Okay, this next shot, this next goal
to put me in the grand finals is a little bit of extra pressure,
especially when you got the entirety of Dicky's Arena watching.
Here we go, game five.
G2 waits in the wings for whoever emerges.
Could Aqua Dome be the final resting place
for the Team Falcon season?
Not a dear case, anything to say about it.
That's for wide, and now a real loss.
Throw it up there, move through the moon, just lob it off.
That is not great out of the BDS defense,
but it's well enough here goes Raleigh and Killers makes the same around the interference
the RK all looking for a loss it could not connect
now it's a numbers game here like Raleigh nice pop trying to buy some time force the
Killers off to the side monkey moon wants to keep that possession the TRK tracks it
not the best touch there off of exotic and Raleigh wants to keep this up here's Killers
though good first touch in monkey moon will clear away the danger for now
Good job by Exotic control, then the screen off the oncoming attacker.
Demo in the net though by TRK.
And that kinder team BDS at all.
We're lost so far back.
We'll dive into the play.
Add his network for Exotic to address.
And he does so as he has throughout most of this tournament.
Expertly well.
Now, several falcons with the pressure.
TRK off that back wall and Killis was there.
Trying again.
Look at this. Doesn't really need to play necessarily.
He tries to go up the wall, so he can get a better approach.
Thouston's still hungry.
Execution's been better.
Actually, Thouston's for sure.
They're actually testing BDS.
And those shots aren't that impressive.
Oh, what a save by Mookie Moon coming back.
And now, exotic.
Back to the other way, only Rewind wants to beat.
And he can't.
And sometimes, you're seeing this from Thouston.
So that aggressiveness can sometimes leave the low on
Poozler.
Wawson has to track that ball with nothing in the tank.
He can't afford to be in that position again.
Killer's the only person to punch him!
The ball in front of the goal line, it's exotic!
Who cleared away?
Oh, watch out, exotic on the other side.
Can he line this up now?
And it's Drolley's floater.
That sails away courtesy of TRK.
Still scoreless through two minutes.
Relatively tamed compared to the last couple of games.
Like that for Kill, since Omaros going up the side until even four
and he was going to get the follow-up and then used it
to get keep this ball of BDS aside of the field.
They're trying to play it around BDS.
to use moves and maybe win for a good opportunity to hit the pass or throw
something off ski maybe even fake to set up a potential shot halfway through
G5 that's a great throw to your cake! Got it!
Thumpkins in front! Got so many options to cover. Killers had a choice.
Able to find TRK who steps up in a big way. Four goals now in the series
to lead a squad.
And he continued leading them back
from the break of elimination.
Monkey Moon just trying to delay.
So the tendu against Falcons lately.
Left ball's right on his head.
And he's got to play a boost to play that from the back.
But he's burned most of it already.
Monkey Moon, it gets killers.
Easy stop.
They try to greet that now.
TRK is all over for Falcons.
While the execution's been better,
they've also sped up just a little bit.
And they're winning the race through those walls
the boost that they might have been losing the first couple of games.
BDS still tracking the ball here, you can definitely tell,
Falcons starting to fight back has made an impact here.
Lots of desperate dives and no real control when they duke your time on the ball.
That's the biggest difference maker here, but there's a good ball to play exotic.
He has all that room to work with, tries to boom the ball up field
and TRK is able to clear it and give it to Kliers who is going to take this time,
forcing time down on the clock, playing a 50 to bring BDS out
and also buying a C-thunder or a C-thunder, right?
Almost caught TRK on the back wall and knocked him away.
That's when Ross gets hit.
Mookie Moon trying to win the race.
It goes neutral, and TRK brings him back in.
The Mookie Moon has to save.
A lot of taken shots, not necessarily testing the BDS defense,
but slowing them down, not letting them counter cleanly.
That's the point.
Making sure that BDS does not get a clean counter.
They don't get free space on the ball.
They like BDS playing in this panicky style
because it gives Falcons everything they want.
Control of the face of game.
We're approaching the final minute,
and BDS still knocking at the door.
The Falcons holding on firm.
Where BDS were enjoying Falcons hesitating a bit
on the offensive end in previous games.
Now it's Team BDS having to go back, get boost,
and taking their time on follow-up efforts.
TRK just trying to keep that, keeping the corner.
Now we're lost.
Not in a scoring position, but killers will slow this down.
Inside 40 seconds TRK looking for the stagger but unable to find it where Ross will have a go
Svote play denied by trolley monkey moon and exotic both up and that could be a hindrance for BDS again
Even with the double commit though
This is still okay for Falcons
Well us it would get that ball in front and they're not even playing this court that meant they're playing it towards the side
Well, what gets the ball he doesn't try to get to put a shot on he's trying to play inside the 50
You're trying to pull BDS out again, but BDS may have a chance here ball moving up
No, that's it the way monkey move no boost plays it to trolley
Who also has no boost but put the shot on is there gonna be a follow-up?
Oh, it's the nine! Change for Exotic!
Because he is Exotic and you're not at the depth for team BDS and we got a sudden death in game five
They threw everything out at Falcons, and they came away with the goal.
Tear and booked their ticket to the Grand Finals.
As that ripped off the heart of the Falcons, Double doesn't connect, TRK just cut the boost away from Drowley.
Doesn't matter, still got it downfield.
Exotic tried of course his way through and aided them for his efforts.
Hunky Moon looking for someone to pass through, finding nobody.
As here comes Killers looking for the win and nob it.
Rwass, playing that one off the back wall, goes to steal boost.
Here's a demo on the play here as well.
That's a good 50 for Falcons, but oh, he actually weighs the 50.
Pass to Rwass!
Shot!
And aah!
Whoever turned here as DRGage has done enough,
Drolley was going to challenge him, had to put on the brakes,
and could not do so quick enough.
Team Falcons again as close as you can get to an exit hanging around and wow how the tables
are turning yet again. We have seen this happen multiple times throughout the world championship.
We even saw it happen earlier today in the last match actually and you've probably guessed
what's about to happen.
Yes, somebody yesterday.
SSG and Furia side today in a Furia match.
I mean, saw it in the G2 farming court.
It's unreal.
TRK, step up in a big way.
You see the final seconds of regulation.
He thought, OK, they broke their hearts.
They broke their spirits.
No, they have not.
Team Falcons get 15 shots, including in that overtime.
And the last one, just a little dribbler from the loss that
keeps him alive and brings us to Neo Tokyo in a moment.
But of course, the timeout by BDS.
We've seen this happen so many times.
The team gets on match point, gets to comfortable foot
off the gas.
And that's exactly what the other team who was so hungry,
so desperate for a win once and then they battle back and then after the first
game you see a team that's lost say okay hold on let's try to you know get
back into it again let's not make mistakes and then what happens it leads
to more mistakes then the momentum builds now you've called a timeout now
you're going into a game six is BDS going to change the narrative will we
see a champions field they've got to talk things over shut the series down
Now, otherwise it could get really out of hand.
Neo Tokyo will be the backdrop.
It is, of course, the map that comes right before.
Champions field, if Team Falcons can continue
to turn this around.
And they have turned this around in a big way.
Not just, okay, they've scored more goals.
Duh, obviously.
They have drastically turned the shooting around as well,
where they were maybe neck and neck
or trailing behind in BDS and scoring opportunities.
Falcons have generated so many more.
25 shots of the last two games if they continue to pour it on BDS may not have an answer
What has Casio dressed it up for the 2022 champions?
These teams are leaving it all out here and Dickie's arena
Only one can go to the Grand Finals
BDS do they have but it takes to close it out here already off to a hot start
There's a oh that one almost on wait save from T.R.K
All right, they burned all their boosts.
There's still nothing in the tank.
He's got to cut some as he got that to the side.
Probably able to follow up the play as well
if he can get in there on the far side.
And said he has to go all the way back
and it's about to move.
That slams the door shut.
The RK is up bringing another in.
And again, Team Falcon's just working from side to side,
working around the corners.
And forcing Team BDS to burn all that boost
but then doing something with that boost advantage
that they did not do in the first few games.
Ball 50's here, and to Alas for some issue, good demo.
The Drolley stays on top of the ball.
Good speed on monkey, going to force TRK back.
Has to stop Drolley, and he does.
Now it's still kept in place.
You see Drolley hunting for the demo,
for Alas to bring it to it, picks up the booms,
now has a chance to call for a solo off the ceiling.
Bad Drolley.
TRK with a good redirect, but no one there
from Falcons to be able to follow it up.
They all play the ball very well around TBS
What's the spot here in Game 6?
Team Falcons does that, BDS spooked a little bit as that one
denied from Drolley, Exotic looking to set up Monkey Moon.
He came up very far, with both that plenty of boost.
Monkey Moon, dropped down towards Drolley, denied,
and Exotic brings it all the way back.
Team BDS trying to kind of reestablish dominance
here in this series, reassert control
as Monkey Moon got thrown, get him, go through it,
They cannot be necessarily been shot out, but it certainly feels like they have over the past couple of games
Monkey Moon and exotic pulse there with nothing in the tech now trolley joins the fray. There is nobody back
Certainly nobody with any boost only trolley defeat
What were they thinking they all came up with no boost
There was never a chance that trolley was gonna stop that
Team BDS
Now let Falcons right back into it.
It's a gift here in Game 6, and you can't afford it at this stage.
Oh, but we see Falcons getting more aggressive.
Here's Golly, playing out to the side.
Good speed for Monkey Moon to cut it away.
DRK sees exotic.
He pulls off, but here's not a better challenge.
Monkey Moon's got to get back there.
It's got to roll towards the net.
Monkey Moon missed it, but Golly able to bail him out.
Watch the counterattack.
Back to Xtrali, has it, exotic, waiting for the rebounder.
All he has to get back close over to Mookie Moon and TRK, the easy save.
Looking for an outlater instead, only finding Prowling.
Team BBS trying to serve up another Mookie Moon, high and wide.
Mookie Moon, clean shot.
He won't get too many opportunities like that.
Exotic, putting 1-0 on, but it goes straight to killers.
You may have to look at that one again.
a game seven here.
Watch out, Killers is there.
So is DLK, it's Killers, who strikes again.
Two-one answer from Mina's Royalty.
And Will Ross again with the assist,
brings me to beat out two,
Trolley with zero in the middle of the net.
It's just a clean shot.
That's the Falcon's pressure.
They're starting to ramp up here.
Shot after shot as Drolley barely catches up with that.
right off the kickoff.
Team Falcons have just buried Team BDS
under an insurmountable volume of pressure.
Whoa, Sonic, flying past this.
Only Mookie Moon to be outward.
He will make this stop.
And at least clear this out of harm's way
with a demo on Killers,
who responds on the far side.
Mookie Moon to draw Lee Enderloss is there for the stop.
They have starved out draw Lee now.
Now in this series, he's been incredibly quiet.
TRK just made his way to get to the ball quick.
Wait, that's open.
No, it's not.
Drolley able to battle back in time.
A minute to go though, BDS moving up field.
And they are charging all the way through.
They are charging!
They are moving!
TRK watching a charging Drolley.
Just spin him out.
51 seconds.
Can BDS find one more?
This is so tense.
Roulas trying to grab, he's exotic, great cut out.
Again, the force of Falcons back.
Mains might start to just slow down here, both teams.
At this stage of the game, no one wants to make that error.
No one wants to make a mistake.
Mistake.
But someone is going to have to go, let's go, Bump!
Go all the way!
And it's been the freest thing from the backboard.
What a Bump!
And Roulas has Falcons in front again
with only half a minute to go.
That bump has been incredible.
The Twins have been just locked in in this game six.
Back to back assist and goals between the two.
20 seconds to go.
BDS not done yet.
Almost got through.
Killers with the deny.
Final 15, BDS needs an answer.
A week on to game seven.
DRK tried to deny.
We're lost. Boom it away!
Deccan's left unless we see something out to kick off.
They want to get one more, but it just will not matter.
That's a lot!
3-0, 3-3.
Game 7 on the horizon.
Both teams have burned their timeouts.
We will go directly to Champions Field
to determine who gets G2 in the 2024 World's Final.
Would you have it any other way?
My goodness.
This series started off so one-sided,
but as Falcons brought it back game after game
and pushed BDS to the brink.
Nothing else matters from this point on.
You have five minutes on the clock.
And if you're BDS, you gotta get it together quick.
If you're Falcons, you gotta stay locked in.
It all comes down to this.
Three-0 leads in this tournament should come with a choking hazard.
Everybody's been perilously close.
And now just a few seconds away from the two best words
in our great sport, Champions Field.
I gotta see how we're feeling out there.
We're ready for game seven!
Monkey Moon set up.
It's a good one for Drolley, but all he can do
is just kind of dribble it over towards her loss.
Turn on that, though.
And all the way to the side.
Exotic is waiting.
Important for everybody now.
They're trying to not do too much.
And that might be tough for Drolley,
who had had so much success, but he's a rookie.
Never been here.
A chance for greatness, a chance to make a statement.
Who's gonna make the first move?
Monkey Moon, up to the sky.
Got Drowley in the assist, has Exotic on the wing, with TRK.
He stays there with the knife, that's a good touch, so killers.
He'll end up having to receive this pass from TRK as he gets the clearance.
And Falcons get away with it for now.
That battle for midfield will ensue though.
Who's gonna maintain possession?
Exotic with the double, straight to the last, but the clearance goes downfield.
And Monkey Moon's gotta slow Falcons down.
Oh, Drolley, oh, and he scores everybody!
Caught out by Falcons, and Drolley, who just happened to still be down there.
And you know, as soon as he saw Lucky Gool last back,
Dopp can start a charging, but he was able to turn it around like he said.
Drolley in the great spot, and the rookie gets the first goal of game seven.
BDS setting the toll.
And if BDS were going to stave off this reverse sweep,
that too had to get going again.
And what better confidence builder than being in the right place at the right time to watch out monkey moves
Got to figure that one away and I've got killers all the way down field ready to trigger it right back in
Secular's planning close. Yes, I wanted to make feel cost fish it out
Falcons and a little bit far back. No one wants to go too early
Just scared of those long clearances scared of the overcommends. Good fake Allen kept the walks now
He jumped too early, he wasn't able to make contact with the ball, it could've been a tight game.
A net so open, nobody could miss it, except once in a million.
Now, Drawley can take his time, confident win.
Just about got through another exotic, got a serve on off, but lucky move cannot go.
TRK will have it at his mercy.
The watch started to dive in as well.
Grab the corner boost.
There's the pillars, and we're not tied just yet.
One more opportunity.
Monkey Moon very low and still cleared out.
Team BDS, bend them off for now.
Another one close and Monkey clears.
Those will be able to get there in time.
Falcons going all in on all things.
You saw TRK on that side while he had zero boost,
but still is never going to midfield.
That 50 could have been a big one, but now that he's got to go back low moves.
TRK has to maintain control here.
He gets demoed.
Exotic!
No, you don't.
Exotic cleans up the mess, and it continues his impressive stat line,
not just in this series, but in this tournament.
Well over 30 goals on the week.
MVP caliber for sure, for Team BDS.
Two balls to the gut.
DRK and Rwals running forward.
Killers waiting for a pass.
It does get there.
Eventually, Killers gonna do some more work.
Break pass!
And the shot!
There's the connection again.
Killers with a dish out.
Beautiful pass!
Rwals cleans it up.
Duncan with some fight.
Two minutes to go.
Will BDS be able to hold him up?
When Magic has him back to then one,
and D-Coy!
Oh, Rwass had to stay home and made a great reflex save.
How about the other way?
Cobb can still need one.
TRK.
Loving up, got Rwass on the weak side.
Ass never got there.
There is a demo of the control.
TRK can turn, but he's got nothing.
He's waiting, hoping that boost responded, did not.
And Monkey Moon stole it again.
Drop down in front in Monkey Moon.
Just rolls that out.
with a different challenge though.
Of course, in lucky moments, they have the ball,
plays the 50, and out to leaders, able to move upfield.
Exotic trying to reach the bounce.
Killer's trying to apply some pressure, but exotic.
Great patience, he stays on top of the ball.
He is going to force that 50 out.
Drowley witness, well, to try to listen to the bump,
but now BDS have to rush back,
and they are going to be a little low on boost,
except for exotic.
We get a strong player straight to Drowley,
forcing killers back.
Now we're approaching final minute of game seven.
This could be final minute of fountain season.
They gotta get moving, but BDS still applying the pressure.
Monkey Moon was waiting for his opportunity.
Exotic shuts him down just across the center line.
Three ball for Throlley.
Doing exotic, not quite yet.
Celebration still on ice.
Monkey Moon couldn't get for a loss, and Falcons hang around.
Roughly time being, but they've got to be careful.
30 seconds now.
T-R-K moving to field. Rewatch with a demo.
Mucky Moe, great challenge.
Forced a two-pack. Rewatch's demos are useless.
Now, Killers has to go to lift of the field.
Rewatch takes out Mucky Moe.
He is the flicked past one.
Charlie, no! He didn't get the wave!
T-R-K went to change for a solo.
Kicks that big field.
Hold seconds!
Killers on top of this one, but he did.
Set the wave.
But you can't win four in a row.
Nobody can.
After all that, fall just short.
The more things change, the more they stay the same around here.
BDS G2 part two at Dickies Arena.
Let's be honest, will we have it any other way?
No, why not?
Why would you want anything else?
Unreal.
This story is practically written itself.
Unbelievable who is writing the script my voice needs to talk to my goodness. What a performance
BDS started off red hot. I mean it's literally a mirror from what we saw with g2 earlier
And now here we are in this situation
Both teams
Can come out and open up a series red hot, but of course in the world championship
Sometimes not the highest starts about how you finish and BDS even with the pressure
on the line, they're able to come away with this series and monkey man gets another chance.
It's another shot.
They're an intense hold off against the Falcons.
It's BDS with the victory.
We knew it was going to happen.
But it doesn't matter because you're in the grand finals and that's all that matters.
What you do on the field.
And you guys are winning right now.
Let's talk about the whole series.
We'll start with the end there.
I was a little scary for you guys.
What were comms like?
Were they hectic by the end or still controlled because that was crazy.
So it comes back to the series, to the end of the series.
Is it a bit shaky at the level of communication?
Was it a bit lost or did you manage to keep your calm at the end of the
series?
especially with our calm, I think it was more complicated because we were in the semi-final of the World,
so we tried to pass for the final, but we were a little stressed, but we had to keep calm.
the tide right now. Is that affecting you guys and how you're able to stay locked in because it's loud in here?
but then it's crazy if he can continue to be against me
so that it will be even stronger.
Coming up is quite an interesting coincidence here, back at Dickey's arena, up against someone you faced here two years ago, Atomic, on the other side.
Are you excited? Are you scared? You won it last time. What's on your mind on this matchup?
So, coincidence or not, you are back two years after, and you were back two years after,
Grand Final, Dicky Zarena against G2 and especially against Atomic.
How do you feel?
No, I'm very happy.
After, I don't have the time to think about anything else.
For the moment, I'm focusing on the Grand Final.
But after, Atomic is a very big player,
still competing in the Grand Final.
So I hope it will be a good game.
But I'm not afraid. I'm just happy, and I'll take advantage of it.
So, you know, I'm not scared. I'm just really excited to be able to play the Grand Final again.
I'm really focused on that right now, but, you know, Atomic is a really great player.
And I can't wait to face him again on the field and just try to make my best on it.
Well, I'm gonna let you go and take a breather here.
Guys, let's power him up again, I guess, but we have our grandfathers on the way.
Let's go over BDS!
We've had two Rocket League World Championships in Dickies Arena
and we've seen the exact same match twice now.
We haven't seen it for the second time yet,
but we're about to folks.
G2 will play for the title of world champion against BDS
on the same field, the same arena they lost it on two years ago.
Well, we got another champions field.
The Falcons put up a fight.
BDS so incredibly good again.
When you lose three in a row, it is so hard to win that last game.
At least we used to say that.
It seems like it's happened in every single time now,
But BDS to battle back the defense that they had in that final game
Even in the final moments of that game
They had to play a full defensive effort for five minutes and they did so hats off to BDS the final boss of Dickie's ring
To almost reverse sweeps in game seven and our semis. Are you serious?
And I swear I have the Falcon script. We talked about it on the desk
They can drop a game or two wasn't expecting three
but they are the comeback kings but one thing that hurts Falcons is game seven.
They have such a hard time closing it out but against BDS this is I think this
is gonna continue to be a rivalry. And we talked about speed Falcons three
average speeds were the top three all three players with the fastest on the
field. Monkey Moon was way in last at the lowest average speed but that's how
Monkey Moon plays. He waits for the plate to develop. He does what is
needed. He doesn't have to do a lot but exotic again I said feed exotic. He was
number one in goal participation with 1.42 goals per game between goals and assists.
So exotic showed up here. Monkey Moon played the support role. Doesn't have big
numbers but he doesn't need them. He knows his teammates can do it and they
did it so well.
Muckimoo third straight all CS World Championship Grand Finals in the open
era. He is in it every single time. Doesn't matter the teammates, doesn't matter the
And you want to win a world championship, you gotta be BDS, you gotta be BDS.
And Russia makes diamonds and both these teams really thrive under that.
Falcons, they almost played better when they played from a deficit,
and BDS played better when the crowd are against them.
So this was such an electric series.
It was really about speed, and it was importantly who was playing down the field
to receive a long pass, either a solo player to be able to play that counterattack.
And Falcons and BDS both scored off of plays like that.
I just cannot believe both of our semi-final matches were thwarted game 7 thwarted reverse
sweep.
What does that mean plate?
What does that mean?
It means it's 4-0s on the way.
I don't know if it's a sweep.
Are we doing a sweep?
I feel like it's a sweep in the finals.
You know what?
We've been through the entire bracket without a sweep.
We're even going to just game 5.
We've been through the game 6 at least every single time.
It feels like there's something special in here right now.
Oh yeah, one last hurrah there for the Falcons.
They look great.
I think that was one of the best offensive performances I've seen in tournament history
I'm pretty sure they set the record for most goals for game by team. We'll have to check based on that match up there
But the Falcons put up a fight. They're just so close
They got to get over that last hump and we keep talking about this
But eventually we feel like they will but BDS again monkey moon is the final ball
So if you want to win a world championship, you got to go through him
We were talking about how amazing it is that
G2 has made every single Grand Finals this season, but on the other side,
BDS has yet to miss a World Championship Grand Finals in the open era.
That's incredible.
I don't even know which one's more impressive.
And we talked, you talked about Final Boss of Monkey Moon.
How about against Atomic in, I mean, Leaf brought it up.
This is going to be such a good final and I can't wait for it.
It's going to be a great time.
We do have a little bit more analysis of the match we just watched in front of us.
Falcons getting taken down by BDS. CJ what you got? Yeah thanks guys I just want to
highlight one of the reasons why BDS are so tough to play against and one of the
reasons why Monkey Moon is off to his third world finals in a row it is
ridiculous. We've got a rather clip here and just see how they get to work. It's
their defense. BDS's defense is unbelievable but what's even better
is how they transition, how they bait the other team in. You can see it
here all three members of Falcons sitting so close that's the way they
like to play. They like to be aggressive. Monkey Moon recognizes
They're in the corner. They think that they've got BDS where they want them. Well, they don't as we have a look at the overhead view as well. You can see here that
Thoucans, all three of them sitting so close. You know that TRK wants to go in. You know that Roulas is looking to get in as well. So aggressive.
Mike Kamoon, he's a better to play than that. He's got one of the best, I guess game sense, one of the best awareness of situations in the world.
in the world. There's your other clip. You can see what happens. He knows there's so much space on the left.
TRK is gone. He was meant to be covering the middle. They get an easy 50 to Draleigh for the open net.
Rollin' it again there. You can just see how much space he creates. And again, defense into offense.
That's BDS's game. And for G2, you've got to watch those low 50s and you don't want to be challenging too much in the corner.
Hey guys.
We'll see if G2 takes CJ's advice here. Does BDS have what it takes to take down the North American champions?
And I think BDS are one of the best teams to mitigate aggression when Falcons can kind of close in on them fully cover them and play really tight BDS can still squeak through find the gaps and really know how to approach those 50s to bulldoze their way through I mean one of the most exciting goals with them just barreling into the net so good luck against G2.
And that play highlighted Falcons had 100 boosts on all three players and monkey moon had like 30 and he made the play happen 300 boosts versus 30 it doesn't matter monkey moon will get the job done.
the job though. I don't I feel like the crowd is not going to matter for BDS.
I do think it will matter for G2. It seems it doesn't matter what the crowd
does. BDS will just play BDS's game, but G2 will thrive off that inner
debate. Well, it depends how much the fourth man wants to get a lot of
tickets arena. They could really turn the tide. G2, we seem to grand championship
world championship here and the crowd, they kind of got taken out of it
in media. We kind of had that kickoff thing where it went down to zero.
Let me have the weight and everything, you know, that whole
And after that crowd was out of it, BDS took over.
Now if the crowd stays with them the whole entire time,
it could be a different story,
or it could just be monkey man walking out doing this.
We'll see, folks.
We have played through six days of competition
to get to this moment.
Team BDS versus G2 with the title of world champion.
We were only four games away from the full brackets
of our all champions field.
That's how close all these matches have been.
Again, any of these teams could have potentially won this.
It comes down to those moments on Champions field.
And right now, BBS and T2 are the two teams that are doing best there.
Best of North America versus the best of EU, but both had strong stars.
But can they close out both with the game sevens?
Do they even still have energy left?
There is so much left on the line to play for only one more match left.
And it's the one we've all been waiting for.
We're going to take a bit of a longer break
while we let the teams get ready on the stage.
We'll have the grand finals of the Rockling World Championships of 324 coming up next.
You know like check it out. This thing's the best.
No, this is the opportunity to bring that you sex up on yourself.
Here we go.
Of course, it's going to take some time to get it set up.
So of course, I'm here with my beautiful guest.
I mean, let's just go down the line.
Let's start with James.
But you wanted that.
I love that you pre-jumped the bill in case they did.
They were doing that anyway.
I'm a smart man. No, I just wanted that. I want to feel it was like
Monkey Moons said it powers them up and I feel I can I can I can feel that
I feel very empowered. Can you beat GZ right now, Lee? I can only go up from here, right?
I have no worry about failure at this point. You've got this mom. I don't know if my logic is sticking at all
You kind of have similar hair to monkey moon. That's about it though
I definitely would not win though. Thank you for joining me here on this desk as we get ready for the grand finals
But of course let's talk about how we got here in the first place five days ago
We set out to crown a world champion in the Swiss stage and the Swiss stage
Delivered stuff. Yeah, that's for sure
It really did I mean you look at the teams that we ended up knocking out in the Swiss as well Gen G
They didn't even make it soft as by Tyler T
They also didn't manage to make it through like we had some real world-class teams that come in round
I think the biggest teams that
we're, you know, obviously
going to be looking at G two
still in the competition still
here once again at Dickies
Arena and call it's been so much
fun seeing a North American
team squeeze their way by a
fan favorite. I feel bad that
probably by two favorites here
it's in the entire Swiss Gen
G losing twice. What's the
pioneers as well? I'm
scrolling through thinking all
the ones that I really
remember and those are the
ones. Yeah, did you see the
tweet by the way from
KCP when it was like the
the Gen G tier list. They're like, oh, just throw the Pioneer's D list. Who's even on that
team? Oh, yeah. That's crazy. Oh, my goodness. Like, oh, who's on that team? No, no, no. And
he goes, that's it. That was insane. That was one of the craziest upsets I think I've
ever witnessed in my life. Yeah. I was the problem is I'm looking at this whole OCE
thing right now. Okay. They're looking good. Then you look at some of the wins
they got. And it's like, is there validation to it? Or what? One of my favorite quotes
from the weekend was when they were interviewing Chicago and he's like, Oh, now that power is
not an OCE team anymore. I'm like, what does that mean? What does he try to say? I think
it's a compliment, but it was great. Yeah, definitely was. I mean, I mean, we saw like
lots of ups and downs and we saw teams really shine and you could probably get a little
pre-jump on some of the roster moves based on the Swiss performance of course.
I think pretty much every team we expect things change. I assume. Like Vitality
finally do. I think oxygen is an interesting one for me because they had kind of a poor
performance in London but then here it's clear that that team has magic. I mean they kind
of filled in last second came in without many expectations. I think that put them in a really
good mental spot but that team was just so fun to watch. I'd love to see that team
stay. I've been up peak though. Oxygen can they go further because I think they were
that they're not going to be
able to get up. They're not
elevated by the fact that they
had going into it, at least
zero pressure when they get any
extra prize money they get is
complete. Another bonus. You
know, the start of next
season, if they're still
together, that mentality is
gone. There's always that flip
though that happens in a team
where they come in with no
pressure, and then they start
to realize. Maybe we could
dump it over. What do we call
it? Win is till winners till
I can every OCE team, but I really did enjoy seeing power.
I think what powers mechanics were incredible.
Like watching them play, it really did feel like this.
They've reached a different level watching power play.
But then, you know, it's crazy.
Like Stack said, the more things change, the more things change, the more
things stay the same.
We're sitting here with, I guess, in the finals again, but also Monkey Moon,
who, you know, even if he doesn't win this, might go down as the greatest
of all time for what he's been able to put together in this open era. And I'd like to
just direct the question to the crowd if I can. I'm going to name three teams. You cheer
if they should change or no, boom, if you don't think they should change. All right.
So we'll start with vitality. Should vitality change?
There's no French team so far. Yeah, true. This is so toxic.
He's like, you're lucky. Second one, Gen G. What are we thinking? I have a third
big hitter and maybe it depends
obviously the result here in the
grand finals G2 eSports should they
change G2
just clip me saying G2 eSports then
the boo send it to me and I'm going to
farm with that alright cheers thank you
very much
Well, it's for me can stop.
Okay, listen, there've been, of course, like you said,
a lot of things change and something say the same.
But yeah, even with this Swiss stage,
this was something completely different.
We had to Swiss into the tiebreaker round
and we got to see how that played out.
We also got to see a lot of teams play
in front of a crowd too for the first time,
like the Pioneer.
You can see how much of a difference
it makes playing on stage.
That's so good.
That's a team that definitely needs to be on stage
a lot more often.
I mean, he's super lucky popping off.
I thought it was fiber for me.
Like I had to like mentally just say, I'm sorry, fiber.
I apologize.
I didn't know your game.
Like you were.
Fiber was subbed, bear in mind, like for the final three
regional events I see, he was subbed down for the coach.
They then bring him back in for Worlds and they qualify.
And he's in there.
That was spectacular.
What an amazing final round for him in 2024.
All we've learned is that he's better playing Rocket League
than he is at stepping up on steps though.
Yeah. Very true. I tripped over the lights just earlier man. Yeah. We need a caster compilation of everything just failing miserably.
One other low light that was really cool from this event was the limit list. Zero second goal from today for that. That was one that I'm going to remember.
I mean, yeah, I think everybody also just seen the fact that, you know, a crowd, you guys were cheering for limitless, for pioneers, power gone to a crowd as well.
as well. Yeah, it was so good to see like it just for those guys thinking, yeah,
you know what? That's now my new aim. If that we don't get this again for some
reason, it gets taken back. They will have that thing to remember of, I want
that moment again, and it was beautiful to see.
Yeah, you know, you guys have been loud all weekend. Give yourselves a round of applause.
You guys are doing great.
I gotta say, it's not even just the loudness, it's the general vibe you
get around the positivity. There's a couple teams, not, but for the most
part, it was always, let's pick a team, let's cheer for them. Someone's
the game. I mean, I think
that's a good thing. You know,
I think that's a good thing.
You know, I think that's got
support going behind them, which
I think is just huge, especially
for the players in the moments
that they're going to remember
saying good humor as well. I
mean, even the players and
being booed monkey. It is not
up. He's asking me. Exactly
showing the crowd alike.
That's credit to them as well.
Knowing how that comes from
experience right comes from
experience of being favored
and then not being favored.
You have to know how to
play for both, and that's
part of this sort of world.
We have a way hop between
different regions of these
lands. I do want to hop on
and say to I know you got
Yeah, make sure you're here and you stay and you support them for that trophy left. It's a big moment
We're here to celebrate rocket league. That's still rocket league. Yeah
Beautiful absolutely beautiful. This is rock
Bracket here as well because again the bracket was a little bit different of course due to the tiebreaker on the swiss stage and of course through
Due to this kind of hybrid playoff bracket things were a little bit different here
So, I mean, this is, we've played the games, we've come down to it, obviously, of course,
I want to give you, get your guys' thoughts on this.
Let's just talk about it.
2DS versus G2 Stride, let's go around, how do you feel about it?
Oh, well, I'm sorry, I'm looking that way.
I need to do a look at me, I'm pointing to you.
Well, G2, I'm happy because I didn't get to come to Dickey's arena last time,
so I didn't get to see this matchup happen.
Now, obviously, there's four players that are different in this matchup, but I
I kind of feel like I get to relive this matchup going into the grand finals here.
What do you think?
It's cool.
What?
It's a goal prediction.
Who do you have?
I will win.
Who will score more goals than the opposition made?
I have like 30 seconds left this week.
It's going to be...
Oh, I got to say G2, right?
Yeah.
For G2.
Hi.
I was here last time we were in Dickey's Arena.
Beautiful arena.
Amazing time that I had.
Yep.
We're going to see a repeat.
4-1 BDS.
Thank you very much.
Good night.
I said it on the first hug desk. I'm gonna say it again
Give me G2 stride. I'm gonna throw a way punk make things interesting and split the desk up to now
So I'll get BDS and then that means
I have been wrong all day. I have been wrong all day. He's big gt
Also, I've watched every single world championship. I am shell shocked by Europe
I fear Europe.
I don't want to, I don't even want to have hope
that G2 can win this.
I want them to win so bad.
So, since I've been wrong, I'm gonna go cheat and be the S.
Wait, sorry guys, great job.
Yeah, good one.
That was the best three-letter chance I've heard all day.
Well done guys.
USB, USB.
Okay, tell me what this something,
I wanna go to you here.
Tell me what this matchup comes down to.
I think realistically it comes down to,
as far as I'm concerned for the entirety of the event,
It comes down to who controls the tempo which then comes down to the boost whenever teams are failing they're low on boost
We have this repeated offense that I feel like it's trying to burn away chip away
G2 their main thing is they don't take the quantity of shots that can't mean called BDSD
They go full quality of shot to get that they need to make sure that they just don't be giving boost away
They need to keep swiping past perhaps some have that sustained offense
And then you can take one shot one chance. They have to take the opportunity
I agree with that. Wait, who was that? Was that me?
I was going to say that both these teams have beaten each other in
best seven so far this season.
I think this one actually comes down to energy, and I don't mean sort of spirit.
I mean exhaustion.
Me, G2, they've already played four team games.
They've had the overtime, they've had the game seven.
Team B has a shot as well, who actually can keep their attitude.
You know, I don't know if I buy that though,
because we've seen such big lower bracket runs.
Sometimes you get in the zone because I thought G2 was going to fall.
Like, I didn't even have G2 make it into the finals.
Hence me being wrong all day.
Yeah.
But I think it's going to come down
to putting away the easy chances.
Because that's what it came down to the first time
these two matched up.
We all saw that crazy play on the goal line.
We thought G2 was going to win that series.
And they just missed that shot somehow.
I thought B-Smo was going to put it on the double,
on the cleanup, not there.
And Team BDS got it.
So it was so low scoring, it's
going to come down to putting away those easy chances.
Right.
Who can show up on the world stage
we're approaching the time for the Grand Finals.
Are you guys ready?
There is one match left of the 2024 season of RLCS.
The winner of it will hoist the trophy
and claim the title of world champion.
This is what we play for.
Two teams out of the thousands of teams
that signed up through the Open Qualifiers
have earned the opportunity to privilege
of playing in this game for only one.
We'll have the honor of winning.
And it's Europe versus North America.
Europe has owned the open era.
It was 45 months ago, the last time
North America won a world championship, season eight NRG.
The last time they won on home soil,
season six, cloud nine in Vegas.
These fans have been begging for NA to get back on top
and they are all expecting a G2 victory.
We're really excited for the grand finals
but I'm also very excited for the thing
I get to announce right now
which is RLCS 2025.
Let's take a look at some information
about what is coming up next season.
It is going to be beginning very quickly, Gibbs here.
Returning in January,
we'll have $5 million prize pool
and most excitingly, a 1v1 series.
We will have an RLCS 1v1 champion.
How cool is that?
But on top of that, $5 million prize pool really quick.
between threes and ones.
That is a 15% increase from this year.
We're just moving up.
And of course, my favorite and CJ's favorite,
your last chance qualifier.
We got last chance qualifiers online as well.
So we're gonna be sending more tapes to the world
championships, 20 tapes of worlds.
We're getting bigger and better.
So there'll be four last chance qualifiers
for four of the regions.
It's based on your major performances.
Your average placement at those majors
We'll get the last chance qualifiers, which will get us four more teams to worlds.
So we're increasing to 20.
20 is good.
20 is good.
You already saw what I actually can do.
We had a 17 team world championship.
I should have finished top six.
So that's exactly what can happen.
L C Q a team can get hot at the WC and could potentially make a run.
And everyone was like, oh no, N.A. in Europe lost one of those spots.
Well, now they'll have a chance to get it back, but they got to perform at
major one and two.
You could saw enough of these last chance qualifiers and just make the
We would have the most fairytale story.
I want to live in the headcanon where the people at the top are watching.
I'm sure they're like, we got to make sure this happens again next season.
Let's look at the qualifier in there.
We can show you the roadmap of how things are going to go.
A little bit more detail of how the season will play out.
Two majors, two splits, and then the last chance to qualify are there
before the World Championships of September.
So I think I'm allowed to say, but Leshians, welfare, completely open.
Completely open.
So if you're in NA and if NA does well in those two majors,
two majors, well, you can just form a new team and just completely open it up.
Three people here right now could sign up and go to the world championships.
We could go.
We could actually conflict.
Well, and especially if you lost the first touch, so you're just not allowed
to play any more rock.
But Rock of the World Championship, the 1v1 final, we will have 1v1 finals
as well at the two majors.
We finally get it.
The RFC is 1v1 champion.
I'm so excited.
It's going to be so electric.
It is an evolution of RLCS.
Unlike any change we've ever had,
I feel like adding 1v1s is a bigger change
than going to the open era.
I mean, we're starting earlier as well.
And even more importantly, the last chance qualifiers
means that teams won't be able to break up
in March or April.
They can stay together all the, you know,
the season doesn't end for the teams
that don't qualify for the majors
or the world championships.
They're still alive.
They're still that chance.
So I think it's just positive to all around.
That's going to be a great time.
Stay tuned to social media for more details
over the coming months.
We're very excited that RLCS is coming back for another season next year.
Folks, it is time for the grand finals of RLCS 2024.
We're also going to have a Rocklet player, a dream job.
Every player's dream is to win the World Championship.
Everything that I've worked towards for years and years and years.
It gets the best experience you can have as a professional player in this game.
I got introduced into RLCS by watching the World Championships.
It was just a dream to even compete to play at Worlds.
Every single hour that you put it at home,
like when no one else is on the game,
you're doing it to try and become the best.
The goal is just walk away, you're proud of what we played.
Worlds is like the biggest stage.
The best team is 100% Razzle at home.
That's why we have the World Championship.
I mean, that's the ability of the Esports.
It's worth more than anything.
If you're a banner there, if you're a names,
Your name is like Ingrid in history.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know anything.
If you don't, then it's a right turn.
No one will know.
I just want to be one of the greats.
Triton's in first!
All presented! Yeah!
I've got a real feeling that he's third World's Finals in a row.
I mean, Mikey Moon is...
He looked to me like he was surprised. Did you forget about him?
No, I know.
I just want to say that's an open era worlds finals. That's much harder to do than before. We used to do half year world championships
This is a full calendar year three times in a row in the grand finals exotic
We talked about our other feed him the ball the number one offensive score in this tournament looking great
giving up for exotic and
Trolley it's a rookie again BDS last time they won it was a rookie
There's a player with the letter E with extra nose out and lucky move so trolley the rookie coming out
The only rookie to make the playoffs and he's been popping off. Listen the last two world championships
They've been warned by rookie Zen last year
State Coda you're before now trolley here to win one as well. They're following the exact same recipe as well
That just they paid it off a little bit. They picked it up and now they're picking first tournament or it was Texas
Get up and get loud for your heroes
inside
Presenting North America!
This season, G2 Esports, four back in November of last year.
Daniel, Beast Mode, Atomic, and ever since they've played together,
they haven't missed a grand final.
Finalists lost that one.
3 versus 5,003, it feels like the entire crowd behind G2.
Beast Mode, your North American MVP World Title.
And he just keeps on stepping out, obviously,
missed out on AWC, but he has been improving.
He is, I mean, the previous series today,
He has really working on TV and a man who needs no introduction two years ago
He was on this stage two years ago. We're gonna get the job done
But now he's back going up against his nemesis going up against monkey mode. I tell me be victorious this time around
It's very interesting to EDS no headphones on they're enjoying this moment. They're watching G2 and G2
Just full-series headphones on ready to go EDS enjoying the crowd noise
The moment to be taken in by these players, four of them on the stage have never played in a grand finals before.
The number of players in Rockley who have played this game is so small.
Four new ones here, and yes, they're going to want to take in the moment.
And two completely different roster moves as well.
Back in January, Monkey Moon tweeted just a sad face.
All of EU was making these roster moves, making these big teams.
Monkey Moon felt left out.
Kind of had to pick up the scraps of exotic.
He was kicked off the K-Corp.
He had to pick him up.
He had to pick up an unproven rookie in Drawley.
But Monkey Moon has made it work on the opposite side.
You have G2, the Super Team.
They were built for this grand final.
They have made it here.
So from January, QJG goes to BDS, but not anymore.
This is a true-point-foot matchup.
They are the Super Team from North America.
They have made it to every grand final.
They could possibly have made it to this season and they are reigning major champions in RLCS
Yet, they are the only organization based in the history of the game to have played for the title of world championship twice and lost both times
There is a curse here for G2. They are trying to shape it right now
Well there is a curse that happened over the coming of the curse is that they got a European team and they've won a final
They're doing a good bunch howdy. They're doing a good BDS. Now they got gold because of them again
We talked about reigning champions three weeks ago at EWC BDS was the 3v3 land champions
Butte's piece mode the best player in the world was not there
So the full g2 squad did not face that BDS. They get the chance here. They didn't show all their cards
If they didn't play them all they left one of them at home just for this right now
And but I mean I've already lost them before everything is telling us that BDS are the favorites in this
I've already beaten them in game 7
Aren't you mean he's just the winner and that match to only 13 goals were scored the lowest ever when you go the full set
So we're gonna see a lot of defense will we see a lot of offense?
I feel like G2's offense has picked up BDS as well
So I expect a higher score in that stumpy on the little pre for your desk and said that whoever controls the tempo will win the game
That's a thing we talked about a lot with Falcons
But obviously it's just a general kind of concept here in rocket league
How important do you think the tempo is in this man?
It's massive. I know Saphir would be, you know, analyzing that last match that obviously went the distance to 7,
but G2, they really struggled to break down that defense.
So there was always someone there on the backboard for BDS.
The solo plays weren't effective. It was highlighted with such a low scoring game.
It just feels like when G2 played a little bit faster on Champions Field versus BDS,
a couple mistakes happened as well. They should have scored that goal.
They had two chances to do it. Monkey Moon is going to play his game.
He's not going to play fast.
He's going to position well in that midfield and do what needs to be done.
But again, exotic control here are the true X factors.
Like if their offense is clicking, they can compete and win this.
These modes been warmed up to I feel like for me personally,
this is exotic versus beast mode.
Watch for that matchup on the pitch.
Hashtag G2 in chat for North America.
Hashtag BDS for the rest of the world.
If France will make our picks of the world champion here on the desk.
CJ, who's going to be world champ?
Who's gonna be my pick? Everything is telling me the BDS are gonna win this
But that been the best team all season and they're about to be new world champions give me G2, baby
It's I've had doubts all year and they showed up in London and I still had doubts here even today
I picked against them. I have zero doubts at this point. This crowd is gonna get G2 that win G2 wins it
Let me tell you something. Two years ago we were up there on that balcony same desk.
There was WinBDS. I like how Gim's switching around, but now G2 is all about the storylines.
The run back, the comeback. G2's gonna get the job done. And Dick is arena. Dick is arena, I believe!
And G2, believe it!
I've been rolling with them all day. They haven't let me down one time yet.
It's G2's time to win the World Championship. Give me G2 the desk.
At least as far as people, brains, goals, and sleeping.
Well, there's one important opinion here, folks.
How's it going to go?
BDS on one side.
The coin with G2 on the other.
Hey, guy.
And it comes up.
BDS for the coin.
Is it an omen?
Is the coin correct?
The coin's been very wrong.
A lot of the players.
It's not a desk sweep.
That might help G2.
G2 fans.
Two-thirds go for G2.
Favorites online.
Favorites in the building.
Favorites on the desk.
BDS, the villains of this match, will they strike back, folks?
It's time to play the title of the World Champion.
Charity has been won.
It's rematch time.
Is it revenge time for G2?
You know, I think they could run away with this
or the crowd is going absolutely bananas for them.
And already these both have the crossbar.
I'll save my something.
And another one, Charlie.
Getting a save.
Point-blank great shots tonight for G2.
These two teams have such history together,
But it's history that G2 will not want to repeat against each other in this very arena in the grand finals two years ago.
BDS not only won it, they dismantled their opponent.
That demo very much.
No way to do it.
Drally now over the top, but it is well covered by Beast mode.
Now Drally looking so comfortable in the pitch and all weekend.
You forget that this guy is having his rookie season right now, but here comes G2!
Those events where it doesn't matter where I am in this venue,
If it doesn't matter if I can see a screen, if I can see the match, I know who's winning a G2's playing.
I know who's scoring a G2's playing. So you guys are making so much noise when they score a goal,
and the boos come through when they've done it.
So we're going to get right back into the action as soon as we can.
That's the perfect start with the G2. Not just with the goal, but with the way the game is being played.
Getting the ball into offense. The end of the rest is, that is exactly how they started off against Farming Court, where they took the first three games.
We've had such a strange day when it comes to teams made able to bounce back.
It's been a straight form, yes, Fiori had a few of these actually earlier on, but both semi-finals
became so close to reverse sweet.
However, Johnny, we've seen in our last two World Championship finals, it is a different beast entirely.
You have to get going off quickly because as G2 and BDS can tell you, if you don't,
It is a big big struggle to get rolling halfway through. Yeah, so much harder to turn around the momentum in the grand final
Especially at a world championship last year's world championship was a four zero vitality over BDS this year before that for one
BDS over G2, but maybe notably the first three games. They're going to BDS the eventual winners
So important to get one of the first two games in this series if you're gonna try and get a comeback started late
then stretch
I'm going to go back into this
grand finals soon enough. There's
one player I really want to
discuss with you here. I feel
is going to be the key. We know
about to make we know about
monkey mode. For me, the big
tell in this series will be
exotic. Yeah, it is one thing
to be as good of a strike as
he has been from this tournament
early around. But how confident
will he be to launch forward
when the opportunities present
one of the most underrated players in Rocket League history.
He is looking to be that consistent player for this team.
Let Drowley pop off and let Monkeven feel comfortable in the pitch.
So good news for all of you here in the arena.
We are soon ready to go again.
I do have a request.
Once we get going, I want it to be the role
that we had to start the series.
Let the world know that we are ready to get going.
B2, have got that goal to stand.
No controversy there.
It's a simple set of check and then we're right back at it.
And it is Charlie off the backboard.
Does leave it.
So difficult to make everything all the way.
Daniel is very low boost.
And that was in the target for the same.
It's always landed in second hand here.
They awkwardly used the inside of the post
to launch himself forward forcing BDS to shoot high.
BDS starting to swap though.
Well, trying a little bit of a team pitch there.
Point black range pass.
Missed time, 5-1-1-1.
How close to your usual level can you get?
It is not the scrims anymore.
It is not where you feel at most comfortable.
Every touch means that little bit more.
As we see the challenge from Atomic,
going to leave it to Daniel.
Well, it was Atomic who opened the scoring.
The veteran from Grand Finals.
Seen so many times, debut Grand Finals struggling
under the extra pressure this situation presents.
That's the Grand Finals!
We need to captain them through this grand finals.
Well, this is not going to be a repeat of two years ago,
where G2 came out flat, didn't get going until much later in the series.
They're aggressive, they're attacking,
and more importantly, they're trusting each other's touches in offense.
Oh, my goodness!
Such a risky pass there.
Infield to third man, Daniel Saw and Mylaway.
Atomic's also had an early cut.
On an attempted passing play, BDS tried earlier this game.
G2, putting pressure on BDS-1 in, but it's completely stopped with them and the other one is out!
It's not even close!
This is a drubbing in game number one!
Has anybody told G2 this is the grand finals?
That this is the advantage of having that grand final experience from two, not one, but two majors this season.
We can see the G2 nerves in Copenhagen.
We're not a factor in London.
They're not a factor in Dickey's Arena either!
But the same fever pitch as the first.
G2-5, BDS-0, a receipt from two years ago.
This has got to feel oh so good.
Well, you know, Monkeyman's played a great villain character
this whole weekend.
Asking for the booze, he left his headset off,
has more reined in, uninvited.
But it looks like they've been razzled,
either by G2s on the pitch confidence or by the crowd being so strongly against them.
We spoke out how important it was for G2 to start off strong as they're going to look to try
out another, not quite this time, of a BDS, their last two international event finals for the RLCS.
Grand Final, loss against Vitality. Grand Final, loss against Vitality over in Boston.
Yeah. And in neither of those did they really look up to peak form.
Right now, this game is gone. You have to get a goal.
Yeah, you really do, but I think also, more importantly,
you've got to stop G2 from scoring.
If G2 puts six in, seven in, then they're going to be so confident
that the meds will just keep building.
BDS can't even get them all at a defense right now.
They're trying everything. They're trying long clears.
Intercepted. They're trying 50-50s.
G2 aren't calling for it.
Passing plays, intercepted as well.
And G2 have just played the perfect first four minutes.
BDS have had nothing in response.
Doesn't seem like Saf you call it.
Don't even think about the situation.
That's what everybody else to make a big deal of.
For us, for the fans, for the desk themselves
to talk about how much of a stage they are on.
But then it is just another Sunday.
Five to nothing.
Going into our final minute.
This one has been done and dusted for quite some time.
If anything, BDS they've at least maybe saved a time out.
time out, they've had time to talk to each other. Would you take one? Is it in this match?
I don't think they're going to take a time out. I mean, you'd definitely consider it,
maybe to try and take some win out of G2's sales. But I think this second half of the game
that has slowed down a little bit seems like BDS has started to control G2 slightly better.
So I don't expect them to take a time out here after just one game.
Well, Charlie, trying to release for some sort of hassle to add a wrinkle into a pristine
performance from G2 Stride in game number one.
Good news, the cut for BDS is, well, this has kind of been the stake of the day, but
one team annihilates the other in the opening match, but you cannot allow this next game
to look for anything like this.
G2 winners of game one.
Game 1.
That's what Spectacle this is.
This is what we missed out on two years ago.
There was no time for celebration.
BDS just came straight out and knocked G2 down immediately.
This time, it's the complete opposite.
And it all started with Atomic.
He's beat here before.
He knows what to do.
What an opening goal it was.
A double tap from Atomic.
Fantastic way to start.
Daniels Bump made it to Atomic.
for the finish. And then the mistakes start coming through for BDS. G2's pressure completely
for them. Me, there is one big stat that we've got a little bit of a glimpse of there that
is the most important one. Atomic has six demos. You come into these matches, you want
to play your game, you want to find your rhythm. You cannot do that when Atomic is
wiping you off the field. Yeah, it's just ridiculous. I mean, BDS are very good
at playing close together all tournament long. They're one of the teams who like
the game. We're going to have
a quick head set swap. Once we
do that, we will get back into
these grand finals. The other
feeling that this arena has been
waiting for a result like that
one. It's been two years of
stewing on that result. What gave
you that idea? You know, it's
going to be a really tough
game. It's going to be a
really tough game. It's going
to be a really tough game.
It's going to be a really
on that result.
I'll give you that idea.
Nothing whatsoever.
It might be the volume that we can hear
behind this stage and behind the arena.
It has been also very loud,
and if we keep going the way it has been,
we might have just seen the start of it.
We knew it was going to be a party if G2 made the final,
but if G2 lead in the final,
okay, now we're talking.
This is entertainment.
Can BDS respond?
Or will G2 do?
What teams have been used to doing in World Finals as of late
and completely run away with it.
But we all know, never count the villain out.
And Monkey Moon will happily turn Dickey's arena
into Dickey's library.
He's done it before, he's given the hope,
and he might still very well do it again.
Let's go for game two!
G2 still locked in, laser focused on stage.
And the bit independent to do to start things off, but it's automatic for Daniel catches the overhead and then carries it to a mid-air 50.
So what can BDS respond with in game number two? Or do we maintain the atomic show?
They've got to avoid his demos. They've got to avoid Beast Mode's outplays.
They've got to avoid Daniel just in general. There is a lot of work.
The G2 just had a better read in the game right now. You can see a lot of the racists of the ball are showing off for BDS players sideways, backwards.
G2 are the team who are coming in at the right time, facing the ball and jumping at it with momentum.
Good play. Monkey Moon dusted to that one. Back out yet again, Monkey Moon. Nice freeway pass.
the ball and jumping at it with momentum. Good clear. Monkey Moon dusted to that one.
Back out yet again, Monkey Moon. Nice freeway passing play they just couldn't quite find
Atomic. This is a little bit better here from BDS, they did just about stop the bleeding
towards the end of the last game. As a massive block, but whoo, in the middle of BDS
dergo. Raleigh back into the midfield. Can't get any further, Beast wouldn't take
They exceed BDS, they're playing scared as Exotic tries to 50-50 the ball.
Both Munchimin and Dralio are facing away from it so many times, they're getting caught backwards to the plate.
Nolan playing for that aggressive touch, that positive outcome.
Beast mode on the backboard. He's got so many options to his right hand side, but he might go by himself.
One reset. Have you got the second? No, not quite.
Now Munchimin tried to do it himself, but now this is very awkward for both teams.
Team's monkeyman's low on boost you two won't know that however had to just dive forward see what they could get
It stole the hundred away as he went for the ball there now turning cut to your rotation monkeyman
Look at the speed of Daniel from a dead stop straight up into the air and now with a reset turning defense into a tie
Oh a very early jump actually that's a massive mistake monkeyman now the target dry Lee
You have to just hold back see if he's gonna get what you need help hold in
Towards the ceiling demo for his efforts
two BDS launch forwards after that demo that just willing to play the corner.
This is dangerous for G2, but BDS likewise, oh what a big pair of pipe.
G2's going keeper.
They're getting completely sent by that one.
BDS do not want to over-commit.
They're going to sink deep, not going to risk that.
Oh, exotic.
Very little boost just up on the back wall as a distraction.
Now Jirali, rebound middle.
Right well by Daniel it was.
Continues to be G2's solid defender, but they've got more to do.
That's the top shot, the B-Sport!
What's to say?
Well followed up there from Daniel, they couldn't afford to take too many shots against them.
Starts a low run on booze, but Daniel's done so well in the Altonic again, looking for those demos.
B-Sport, a bit of time, that first touch did let him down.
Here comes Monkey Moon with some support! Bump!
And all those redrawly!
It was a shove of the ball into the net.
The phenomenal that way Daniel realized that Bump was happening, committed to the ball so that
Even up two defenders covering different angles.
Two players committed.
Again, BDS happy to send two at the same time, though.
That's pass one, back to the corner.
BDS, their best opportunity, but can they find a way
to get their first goal?
Scoreless after five in game one, G2.
Got a stronger match here on their testing.
BDS, they're putting up more resistance in the second game.
20 to go. There's a high ball for Daniel to play. He's got a first touch to himself.
Xotic stops him. Now here comes Draleigh. No boost, but will G2 know that? Looks like
they got Sustuk. Yeah, BDS just keep playing the ball to apply that. Always about 40 or
less, so it does really limit what play they can come up with. Again, the passing
has been phenomenal from BDS. Can they get the result? That's going to drop down.
Muckamoon leaves it! And it's taken away from Xotic. Yeah, Mr. Sailing Reid there,
didn't get the right prediction on the bounce.
Alright, so I think you would have it first to the ball there.
Final minute now, G2.
They don't know a great spot.
Daniel does well to find his teammate, Atomic, on the back wall, who has missed though.
The ES attack isn't going to come too quickly,
but G2 are starting to make some slight mistakes.
That's another way we're touched by G2 in defense.
This is more of what we saw to close out the show yesterday.
Two teams finding it very difficult to get goal-scoring opportunities.
Atomic is in the backside of the field.
a bump on his way through, no monkey, avoids it.
Out again, monkey move to exotic!
That's giving me too high!
Now G2 has to break away, but the demo doesn't help them.
Everybody's got a rotation in the midfield here.
It's a continuous battle in one spot, 50-50 after 50-50.
G2 might get the last chance to regulation.
Turali with the overhead clear, send it along.
Daniel's gonna put it back in.
But it's just ping-ponging back and forth
from one side to the other.
Back up again.
Drali, we have time. Two players come in the backboard.
It doesn't look all that convincing, but G2 gonna go for more time.
BDS might fancy it as well.
Mostly to stretch things, but now into the grind we go.
It's overtime in the second game.
Huge here for both squads.
G2 might be able to demoralize BDS if they can take this overtime.
Monkey Moon, could he get it passed?
There's Fasai!
Oh, something with the silencer.
The hitman does not miss.
The best goal scorer of the event.
He had a massive opportunity in regulation.
Couldn't put it away.
But in overtime, that is where he grabbed BDS
their first game.
A weight is a gentleman.
We did treat it to a brilliant script this whole weekend.
Today especially has been full of entertaining series.
Can we get one more?
For the first time in the open era,
we have a game for both teams
before game four in the grand final of Worlds.
For the first time since the semifinals of this event,
we have a game for both teams
before we even get to game four.
What an event.
What a response by BDS as well.
I mean, Monke Moon, he's been here before.
He's been here so many times.
He's looking to enter that goat tier of players
up there, Kate, up at Turbo, with a win here today.
But how about Jirali, the rookie,
who is playing like a veteran on stage right now?
And how many more times does exotic have to prove
that he is that caliber of player?
Major winner with Parmi Corp last season.
Looking to add world to his impressive list
of successful events.
But yet again, G2 and BDS play a one goal game.
It's going to be more of the same for the rest of this series.
Or will we get a breakaway from Daniel?
Who's got no one to blame?
It's a 50 by Daniel.
And great calls by G2.
Now you can see that Daniel took a side.
He knew the goal was wide open.
BDS did not have anybody back in time.
So a little bit of hesitation from BDS in the midfield there.
Not knowing which way to turn.
Daniel slots it.
What an incredible year he's having.
And one of N's original bloodities.
Looking to perhaps even pick up a world championship MVP.
And it did feel like it took some time for him
to reach the level that everyone expected from him.
But he has been worth the wait.
That first touch, not quite what he was after,
but we already know Daniel can certainly make these plays
up on the fly.
As driving cool, NB, but he wasn't too far off.
Now Daniel's opportunity,
taking away from himself, but that's going to bounce out quite nicely.
Shot fizzles away and Muckman are happy to play it.
Yeah, not the best shot there by Atomic Street towards Monkey Moon.
But, a lot for 50-50 by Daniel beforehand.
Daniel is in controlling so many series,
in controlling so many teams with this 50-50 game.
Killing pass probably for me, the one thing G2 have improved on the most
since Copenhagen at the start of the season.
Back out to exotic.
He will happily play backboard, has to avoid getting hit though.
You can already see, the support player just something for G to keep their eye on.
This time it was Monkey Moon who is now in.
Just delays.
Disgusting big smoke, but they are still in some more trouble.
Will BDS want to cut rotation? No, happy to go back to the room, back third again.
Monkey Moon has tried a few of these, limited success to this point.
Now, a lot of these air dribbles from BDS are coming in slow.
So, there is an option for G2 to break rotation, just rotate towards the ball instead of towards the back close side
side or traditional side to rotate will be off the post in over a second there look
like we might be having a second go for G2 going to an open BDS net.
Monkman realized after the demos there's no point diving in. Tentative since that
first goal went in. Drowley back foot he can't follow he was bumped. Lovely touch there from
B slow. Drowley still on so little but it gets enough. BDS as always will
just try to hold the opposing team in their own side of field.
Wait for that massive golden opportunity.
Nice block shot from Monkey Moon.
He's not able to break them down.
It's back out again.
Vatrali!
BDS response.
Placement.
Perfect.
Vatrali.
As he starts to get monkey mints at the team play.
It's what BDS do.
When some teams will happily scamper back to their own back third,
allow G2 to have a moment, they just keep going.
Wave up to wave of pressure, and finally G2 broke.
Atomic with Daniel in support. Daniel's going to go to the far side.
Wait to see what Xalic does. Put it behind him.
Oh, G2 has got the flare at the moment, but can they get the result?
Just a ridiculous activity.
By B smoked Raleigh with a tough overhead save.
They're touching very well to see with the ball there.
Beastwood is always that guy for G2.
Surprise!
He's going to tap the side of his head and say,
I got you!
G2 have got the lead.
Two minutes left in this game.
And now it's the first real off and G2 have had in some time.
Can they now have a second?
Lunge Moon with the catch, going to go off the wall.
You already know it's going to be a turn and challenge.
At some point there it is.
It's now a Strolley's turn.
And Drally's been asked to do a lot of difficult work in defense here for BDS, but continues to do what's needed of it.
G2 giving BDS a taste of their own medicine here.
Start to box him into the blue half of the pitch.
Still a lot of time left in the game for BDS.
G2 unable to run out of the score like they didn't get one.
Lovely challenge again, Beast Mode.
Brogdon's got a foot wrong at the moment, just making life awkward for BDS.
He would love just that little bit of extra time before they went into offense.
Time is running away from them here, 70 seconds left on the clock.
G2 will not give up a freebie, they might go off by two, here's Beaston!
Mac, as soon as you see him up for that, you know that he's been on target.
Beautiful finish, right behind the goalkeeper.
And Water Pass mid as well, off the side wall to get the excited off.
G2. Turned off cushion.
Now for BDSA, it's time to full send.
Get the demo, steal the boost, do whatever you can.
Just do not let G2 set all this lead.
50 seconds and the worst position for BDSA being in the
inside of the field.
Monkeyman to the left.
He won't get the ball.
G2's steadfast.
They will not give this up for anything.
G2 are just controlling BDSA.
AirDribble came so well.
They know that BDS locked AirDribble into 50s.
They love to dribble into fifties.
To turn off balling for that, is that going to be for Delquay?
Up the post, there's still might be them.
Delquay won't give it to able to turn into Naya.
So, Delquay across the finish line of this game, G2.
It's an exotic test of distance and beast mode.
To yet another row of the crowd, saves the ball to the crowd.
It's those midfield challenges though.
G2 are smashing through them and BDS have to work from stage one.
It's an exotic long boost.
You're not the one to play that right has to get them a goal with at least a second off the clock
It's just too late
She to have got the lead of the series back
How to play there two games one two games left to get
And a timeout for BDS
You've got to
You can't afford to lose this next game and have to play against three
3 championship points.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good time out. I like this from BDS.
I think saving it until a potential 1-3
is just going to be too late, especially with G2,
still have a time out available themselves.
This is clearly an attempt to tie this series again
and guarantee that we're going to get to the least game six.
It's probably been the best part of what Kassia has brought
to this team ever since he joined them.
When the open era started, BDS were a team
never took any timeouts,
no matter what the result in the score was.
Not often led to the sorts where it just kept going wrong, they didn't necessarily have the voices in the squad to turn that ship around.
Casio looking to do exactly that in the biggest time out of his career.
The problem for BDS is that G2 are playing with so much offensive freedom, so much creativity.
They're much, much harder to read with their attacking plays.
BDS are having a hard time knowing it's not going to fake this.
Is he in fact just going to go and try and a tight angle redirect?
Is this a fact or double? Is it a shot?
You know, G-Tyr are constantly threatening multiple offensive options.
BDS, at least in my opinion, in comparison, have been one-dimensional.
Me, BDS, we spoke to Nali earlier on, and Rook says.
And he told us BDS are so good at playing their style, they hit the ball so hard,
and when you think you've got an opportunity to take the ball, they crush the challenge.
For me right there, it's the latter part.
It's not anywhere near for BDS because G2 are winning the challenge game
and they're winning it by a lot.
Yeah. I mean, if you're coming to this matchup, we already know that G2's play style
is all about pre-jumps, it's all about aerial plays, it's all about getting boost
and using it to make it difficult to save shots happen.
BDS, meanwhile, they're all about, you know, just keeping the game simple.
And it just looks like it's a lot easier for G2 to put BDS in deep water right now.
Let's see what the timeout does here for BDS. Can they find a better winning strategy?
For the games that G2 have won, they've scored incredibly early.
That's a massive mess. Exotic score. They're trying to bail his team out.
Quite a little like G2 really believed it, though.
So he's a whole pack of the numbers. Daniel, against the challenge. G2, even try and play for the corner like it was the goal itself.
He's exotic, can have to try and play for a challenge that didn't happen for him.
He's exotic, has to go back.
He's not going to get there so he didn't need Drowley.
Oh, communicated there from BDS. Ceiling reset.
Drowley! Oh, the basket!
set, groan double tap, G2 had no idea what to do with that one.
Just don't see it all that often. The nerve of him to even try it.
But BDS usually do the simple stuff very well.
That was the complicated stuff incredibly well done.
He's trying it yet again. He's got the ball.
Looks to try and take them out. Almost back to demo.
G2 would have had the support, but Charlie's looking confident.
And that's dangerous, you know, he's the mechanical guy for BDS
He's a player who can't
Pretty much any goal in the world if it exists, Strally could probably recreate it
BDS a bit more players capable of those kind of things
Will the weight of Strally's shoulders to be that mechanical menace be too much for the rookie
Monkermere just trying to get his team some time, but they need to get their first on no-soul plays
They cannot force get dusted because you can't suck your energy to swarming
Monkeyman, afraid of an earlier shot jumps off the wall too early, and it comes in over his head.
This is definitely G2's series. If they can keep playing like this, you can clearly see, even after the time out, that the game has continued to play the same way.
Exhaust 8 takes the ball up, he avoids Daniel! Stop, stop!
BDS are waking up Shogun
This is getting a whole lot scarier for the whole fans
If exoics look at mechanical if exoics they're rolling then BDS can be fully unleashed
And it's not the way we expect the BDS to get going
All the talk about monkey moon and what he was gonna do it is the other players on his team that stepped up in this game
They've got to one lead three minutes left not the best touch that makes us take and the last time they had a
mis-touch they were scored on but this time it will stop it.
Drali with no boost, jump in at the BBC, BDS have got almost no boost.
On all three of their players, Munchivan, one of the best low boost players in the game though,
Will Schaper of the Bulkler. BDS have got to get away from the lifts though in defense.
There have been some very poor decisions made.
Well the offense has been clicking, that's another one, oh my goodness what a
Oh, he's going to get there in time, he does!
What an interception by Daniel, you saw that coming.
All BDS's back wall.
I mean, there's, it seems like nowhere is safe for BDS.
No matter where they hit a ball, there's a G2 player Larkin trying to make an interception.
You know, that really makes me think that their game plan coming out of that timeout
might be to remove their focus from team plays
and swing it more towards solo plays.
Passing against this G2 lineup just seems to be too dangerous.
But I've already considered two goals straight from interceptions.
It is a very, very confidence boosting way to score when you know you've got the read on the opponent.
North of wall, very difficult to create too much from that.
Mankimun will just hold the line.
I'm not some attempt fair to increase the lead.
Oh my goodness, Daniel, off the ceiling!
Can anyone get back inside?
The demo will cut through!
And the demo was also very clutch.
A no accidental angle after the demo as well.
It was just a clear ball.
Through the smoke, G2 could not fight the goal.
Exotic up high forcing G2 to commit to that high option on the air dribble.
G2 are going to keep on pressing.
They've been so successful with their offense in this grand final.
I see no reason for them to change their strategy.
And it doesn't look like they're interested in doing so.
They're going to put the pressure on BDS every time they can.
Ceiling reset for Beast Mode.
Low boost for everyone except Monkey Moon on BDS.
Here's the one holding the line. Beast Mode ready and waiting. This is what G2 do at their best.
Find each other. Here goes Beast Mode. Nice win, yet again. G2 have had plenty of them, but where's the follow?
And no boost for the follow there. Tomek and Daniel both searching for paths while Beast Mode won the race to the back.
Walter Alley's looking here. Has to flip from a mental guest dusted to the ball. Look at this beat of Daniel.
It's a fake though. And Tomek comes in and that shot. He's just not getting up.
Drowley the other way, he's gonna be denied by Beast Mode.
G2, I've got 40 seconds to work with, still done by one.
A nominal idea, but the follow up was just too far away.
Gave plenty of time for BDS to recover.
Drowley leaves it yet again.
BDS communicating the ball.
So well done!
Monster is ready to play for a world championship.
Look at that demo dodge from Excelsic.
Beast Mode completely misses him.
And Atomic, who is probably waiting for that demo to land,
could not catch up with a shot. Brilliant by BDS, and it's been individual.
Now G2, I've only got 25 seconds to go, kickoff strike goes their way though.
BDS are all over, but they have got player on the backboard. Atomic goes for the goal!
Off the backboard and somehow BDS had a good read.
Lovely control. G2 have got to get control of this ball and put it in the net.
Oh, they will see the series tied up.
I think that they have run out of time already.
BDS have got it at 2 each.
And they're scoring for fun.
One more to add themselves to injury.
And now, the question that everybody's wondering about G2
is do they call their timeout?
We're so scared of teams calling timeout a match point.
But I think they say that.
I've not heard anything about one yet,
because BDS have already used theirs.
So even if D2 are going to save their timeout
when their down match point,
BDS can't respond with one of their own anymore.
Well, I've not heard anything either
from the wonderful Yoharu
who has helped hands with the rest of the crew
bring this incredible event to Diki's arena.
But they're all here in this arena for one reason.
For G2 to find a response.
Pretty much confirmed at this point,
There will not be a timeout.
No timeout, yeah.
But for BDS, I mean, what a time.
Monkey Moon, one of the best talent scouts in the world,
shows it right there because the totally scouted
were incredible.
I mean, we said it at the start of the series,
he's not just one of the most underrated players
of all time, but it's a respect in this man's name.
He played such a different role
for Kermit for our last season.
Now for BDS, he has to slot into a very different system.
He has to be more mechanical
when they switch to a more individualistic style of play,
like they're using right now, and he can do it.
I mean, what a jack of all trades.
That man in the middle is so composed.
Speaking of composure, I mean, Gerali as well.
Unbelievable.
And this is a team that's started the season
getting reverse swept.
Yeah, yeah.
There was massive question marks of,
can you do it when anything's gone wrong for you?
And for the love of itself, the answer was no.
It wasn't a one-off thing.
And now, somehow, BDS have got all the confidence and the ability to bounce back from bad results.
Yes, the must win game now for G2 feels, although I'd say that they haven't met the main contestant, man.
In this event, and not yet, but the way this is going, who knows.
But, this is such an important game, double match point for the winner of Game 5. Who's it going to be?
Well, we are guaranteed at least Neo Tokyo.
We go further.
Well, that is up for the players to decide.
Beast mode.
Has he got that one to settle?
Daniel's ready and waiting.
Picked up the 100 boost, so it's going to be Daniel's turn.
And yeah, BDS seemed to understand exactly the danger they were in.
But look at the outplay pressure.
Somehow, BDS just did not flinch.
Oh, that's a chance for G2.
Daniel off the bar.
Always save.
Actually, a passing play to clear the ball by BDS,
but G2 still applying pressure.
Three shots saved by Bucky Moon.
He was the one with the boost, Exotic had nothing.
Now the low challenge gets a second, but it's out again.
Beast Mode's not got anything.
Exotic's not got anything.
It is a match of inches.
Whoever can get 12 more boosts than the other,
that could honestly decide when the scramble plays.
That was a pretty nervous look at touch there by Beast Mode.
G2 dominating the boost as they so often do.
But their touches do not look as deliberate
as they did earlier in the series.
Yeah, that last infield pass from BDS.
They cannot keep doing that.
That worked a couple of seasons ago.
So now GTS is scoring off those.
Whoa!
What cool width.
You know what you think?
He could have called Bakelman.
It's true, but it's not a good one!
BDS!
Up by one!
It's panic time for G2.
They need to do something and they need to do it fast.
Atomic just couldn't get there in time.
What a shot.
It's ridiculous.
BDS are doing it again.
in the same arena to the same opponents.
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
They have everyone in the arena against them.
Except some BDS fans scattered about the venue,
they're making as much noise as they can.
And plenty more online.
They're trying to send them energy.
10 BDS go ahead by 2.
It's an error shot right through the G2 defense.
BDS are in control.
And again, it's Charlie and Exotic, and again, Johnny, it's the outplays.
They are taking the challenges, and it keeps dropping lovely to another BDS player.
Three minutes, the good news for G2 is they've got time.
The bad news for G2 is everything else.
What can they do with the series turning against them?
I mean, there's absolutely no denying it.
This is the most nervous G2 I've worked.
They need to step up here.
Before they can start thinking about those incredible goals that they've been scoring earlier on in the series,
they need to clean up their defensive touches. They need to clean up the midfield play.
Because BDS are starting to play their game, and when BDS play their game,
there's not many players, not many teams in the world, who can match them.
Monkey mode, straight down the line.
The trust that BDS have got in each other, the fake shots, and it's in!
A smashing G2!
Where's the challenge? It's just too late. Beast mode doesn't play the ball from that range.
I really feel like you just got to play the ball there. You need to avoid getting mind games.
If you get faked out of that range, your defense behind you have no time to react.
But G2, they're just looking jumpy on the pitch, Shogun.
This is a trash to them though, Daniel. To the backboard. It's always up for it. This has to go in.
Just a moment.
G2 will not go quietly into the night.
They've got to find two more. This is a good place to start.
Daniel can't quite find the block. Exotic over in the top.
It's all on beast mode. Who finds the stuff, he's found Daniel.
But there's so little boost on everybody.
BDS is committed to this play. G2 unable to really get a move on before the ball.
Once again, BDS is monkey mood. Top gardener snipe. Oh my goodness.
What a shot by monkey mood.
And you want to pass.
BDS just can't put a foot long offensively.
For all of the flip resets and the way mechanics have developed,
the Monkey Loons go-to strategy has always been the same.
I'm going to hit this very hard, and it's going into your net.
They do straight line to the ball.
Absolute pain.
Perfect.
It's all wins by Monkey Moon.
Once again, just taking the win that G2 sails Daniel.
With barely any wins.
What a flick!
He almost broke the backboard with that one.
G2 in the minute, F40 to work with.
We almost had a flood on Aquadome.
Now, off the recent, that might just drop in off the post.
Nothing will work.
And that's what the post began.
Not even the post.
Helped G2 out in this, the most trickier situations.
BDS looking for a fifth.
They don't get it on the first try, but now they will.
Turali will make it five.
And if it wasn't, Cup 3-Ball just started the game.
It definitely is it now.
BDS are raising the only blemish for them in this grand finals.
That game won.
They remembered it and they've gone for revenge.
This is ridiculous.
I mean it really is.
We talk about this being the event for comebacks.
BDS after game one had so many questions to answer
and they have just answered all of them.
But this doesn't the event for almost fake comebacks.
Refactly reverse sweep. Oh, there's one for G2. Okay.
Still time to work with here.
So many uncompleted comebacks since the event show, but BDS have got one here. A little bit of a comeback from losing game one.
G2 trying to turn it around, and they've got 55-56 seconds left. Three goals, I mean it is doable.
Especially when you've got the kick-off, Brad. He's got quite a rich in time.
And Raleigh holds the midfield.
That might very well have been the last opportunity G2 had to get back into this game.
To see a demo, Monkemon will be last back.
Now this control of respawn happened.
Some momentum though for G2 who are looking better in the last stages of this game.
They do still have their time out and they are going to need it.
Oh here goes V-Sport.
There is challenge so well by exotic here.
We really thought that had to be a goal. That looked pretty good for G2, but then out of nowhere, BDS challenged them,
threatening a 6th goal. Not satisfied with the beat down they've already applied in this mid game.
That's going to pop onto the side, still hits across the bar.
Woodward, not a fan of G2.
To head into the final few moments of Game 5, team BDS will have not won but two championship points.
And if you two do still have their time out and they've called it to the surprise of no one,
this is such a difficult situation. Down two match points in the World Championship Grand
Final. What can staff you and the boys conjure up?
They've not made it easy for their fans at any point throughout the old history.
Why are they going to make it easy for them this time around?
Monkey Moon third world championship grand final in a row looking to try and become a two time world championship winner
Dralee looking to do what Zen did last season and go from rookie to world championship winner an
Exotic on the verge of silencing the doubters
No one can doubt you because they have to respect you and call you mr. World champion
Well, they've done it once already
already G2 came back against Furia to match points down they won game six and
seven now they have to do it again they're gonna need every ounce of energy
that you guys have gotten this arena if they're gonna pull it off
been a fantastic crowd all weekend making noise for teams from well it's
gonna say every region almost every region maybe not the region of France
in this case. G2, they've shown comeback potential. This is possible. They just have to believe
it's possible and then they have to play their game, play their strategy and avoid the mistakes
that cost them so many goals early in game five. It's almost backwards thinking a bit
of a way but we already have to realise that BDS, they've already done this. G2 smashed
them in game number one. BDS were able to come back and win game two. So for G2
G2 they just gotta think, oh well if they can do it, so can we surely.
We can go ahead, win this game at Neo Tokyo, and
go to the place where dreams are made.
Champions field or bust, there is nothing in between.
G2, how much do you want it lads?
Are you able to avenge two years ago?
Or do we just live in Monkey Moon's world?
G2, BDS, let's get to it!
A must win game six for G2.
No other option.
And they start off with the ceiling play.
I think they've made their intentions known with that.
They believe in their offense.
They believe in their aerial plays.
But will they find a way through the best version
of BDS that we've seen all week?
That's been a BDS, that's been a long time in the works.
They have not been this good all season,
but they are peaking when it matters.
That's gonna go all the way to the back floor.
Daniel has to find a read.
He's done exactly that.
One coming for a fake challenge.
He's just taking control of it so easily.
Love the use of the ball dash there by Daniel.
Just to stay with that ball,
make it a little bit harder for BDS to get a clean touch.
BDS creating the run touches in the midfield now.
It's a pandemonium in the halfway line.
Both teams tangle for possession.
Munchamoon has to go back for another 100 boost.
Only just spawned.
Maybe the frame that he got over the top of it.
He's going to use that boost.
Get done for his troubles off the wall.
Here comes Charlie, himself an exotic.
Just put on an absolute show in the previous game.
And G2 keeps them quiet this time around.
Looking for the ceiling pitch.
That's out to Atomic.
Monkey Moon again, they're in time.
Yeah, Great Mid coverage there by Monkey Moon.
Watching that dangerous pass.
The G2 are known for.
They love to pass the ball out to the mid
to pre-jump in team Mace,
or just team Mace waiting in the middle,
now to backboard, coming into play for G2.
Daniel in the mid-air catch,
but the challenges are raining in early for BDS.
Monkey Moon.
He has got support, there it is.
Grali's gonna put the shot right, but it's missed.
And Atomic had to help out.
Low boost.
Exotic low, Drowley boosts, Drowley scores!
But G2 backed each other up on the first play.
They helped each other defend, but Medias still keep attacking.
They keep applying pressure.
And now G2, G2 have got it all to do, Shogun.
They needed that first goal to re-establish the belief.
They've got the kill!
And G2, both teams going for soft touches,
but it goes G2's way.
And they were the team with the close cheating player to tie the game immediately.
What a call to go for it!
Now they're off the kickoff again!
This time Exotic will be there in time!
Raleigh, too exotic!
Sealing, he's got the reset!
Why didn't you go low? Couldn't quite do so.
Bucking it a little to the back for a second here.
He's got to be careful. He's got Daniel Larkin.
Does well to self-hook.
Just keep the ball in that back corner.
Almost half the game gone. Here comes Daniel now.
With the ceiling double.
Pass to Atomic. It's gone over the top of it.
He's slow-weighting, that's across the face of goal, nobody from G2 expecting it.
They're trapped for the infield, but low-boost means they missed the ball entirely.
That's a massive dunk.
That was the way the G2 were scoring earlier on.
BDS almost able to return the favour.
And look at that.
No unchallenging.
Sotik used the blind spot of the ball to force the Flick to go earlier.
He had his hiding behind the ball there, exotic.
Daniel had to respect it, and Flick just in case the challenge was coming.
Oh, it's a dunk.
Oh, my goodness!
BDS is up top now!
They've got tournament!
Two minutes, one-one!
And that had to go out.
If BDS can get one more, G2 are going to be on death door once again.
Daniel, off the side to Atomic, he leaves it!
Where's the next one up?
A little bit too late from Beast Mode.
Here comes BDS, but that is just a monster clear.
Then you're going to wait, hold the midfield.
This is what BDS is doing their best.
BDS challenging G2 so quickly. G2 needs to play so fast in response.
The extras touched there by Beast Mode, nearly catching BDS on guard.
Drowley takes it to the air. Who dares challenge? He's got a goal!
Right to Heredribble, reset by Drowley.
And I think he's in front of the ball, even if there was a defender in the way, he might be bumping them.
BDS, a minute and 29 seconds away from a world championship.
G2 responding only last time. This kickoff not quite as well done.
A minute and a half before Monkey Moon is a two-time world champion.
Atomic. Can't go any further. He's got the fake out.
The Sony player is committed. Beastman is there.
Oh, this e-sports. That always delivers.
G2, will they deliver one more goal for Champions Field?
Or is it still BDSes who are also so close?
Atomic back down, here's the follow to the corner.
There's blue cars swarming all over the inside of the field.
But Beast Mode holds strong.
Yeah, boost advantage there for G2DFence.
Here it comes, it's all McDaniels.
And again, they're carrying it all forward.
It's off the backboard of BDS down in the middle.
Oh, you've got to be so careful leaving your nail open against BDS.
100 boost prioritized it's back out again exotic with monkey moon in support
good time here for atomic to take control of the ball nobody's challenging
though BDSL and G2 just to play themselves out of it here comes monkey moon
waiting for a chance that's well played over the top though B smoke on his force
exotic monkey man again with a breaker rotation breaks through alley into the
and tell them they miss it!
Is it really going to be like this?
They're so close!
Are they so far?
Nine seconds!
And G2 have to find the play!
They need a miracle!
They've got even a possession!
And Ghost Daniel tries to keep the ball alive!
He's over the top!
You guys look so overwhelmed.
I think all of us are to Monkey Moon.
First off, congratulations on two-time World Champion.
after you win one it can be hard to stay motivated going forward what kept you in the game what kept you so motivated to go for a second one
after your first title of world champion what motivated you to stay motivated to play the game and just here?
I think I just want to win for me it's my main objective I always have the desire to win and that's why I'm still here now
You know, I just want to win. I just want to win every time, every day and the thing is that, yes, I just play to win and that's all that matters to me.
Come over here, Jolly. Season and you're a world champion. I gotta ask you, as a player winning, as a rookie, in one of the most competitive years of rock-a-ling we've ever seen, what can you say to anyone else that wants to follow in your amazing footsteps?
No, just believe in yourself.
A year ago, I wouldn't have thought of being the world championship, let alone the RLCS.
Just believe in yourself, you can do it.
Exotic, but you got a lot of emotions going on right now.
So what I want you to do, I'm not going to overwhelm you with a question.
You get the stage right now to talk out to everybody on what this means for you.
What does it represent for you to win this title?
A lot of things, I know I've been a world champion for years.
Kassio helped me a lot, he gave me the chance.
Since then, the details have only improved.
I'm so happy that the whole team is so strong.
It's the GOAT, there's no more debate, and Casio, two years after the Covid, we manage to win together. I'm so happy.
around this trophy we're going to let you listen in one more second first time
though Dickies Arena you have been absolutely insane thank you for everything
and please join me one more time and celebrating your 20s there has never
been a world's grand finals without monkey moon I think this is dynasty
status he is inevitable I think we might have to change this arena's name to
monkey moon arena after that what a player what a team and move over to
move over KDOT and might have a new greatest
Rockley player ever monkey moon not only two
world championships another grand final again
this is the open era a full calendar year of
Rockley but they're worth to and monkey moon
now has four in my mind monkey moon
what performance exotic as well who did
off his team after top four in worlds
these kids monkey moon couldn't feel the
roster at first during roster manager of
Europe they put together this team
no one thought they would win this
World Championship back in January.
Now they're here back-to-back.
Land champion, Drolley, the rookie of the year.
As someone said before, final requirement.
So there you go, Drolley.
Fantastic performance.
And Casio, the coach as well, putting it all together.
I mean, Casio's game plan.
The only shot off Drolley is one more time.
Three years in a row.
The rookie of the year wins the World Championship.
Safe go two years ago.
Zen last year.
And then Drolley this year in the monkey mode.
I think he's the goalie.
He's without question, without question.
To an open era, this is four years of domination.
You've got to include COVID.
Oh yeah.
Yes, X as well.
This is our great VDS event.
I mean, this group wasn't for NA today,
but this group was still cooking.
You look at exotic MVP.
He was too unwell two years ago to compete on stage.
He's now coached Casagio,
was playing by himself for Semper in Dickey's arena.
Here they are two years later
with a medal around their neck.
Have we talked about speed?
VDS was just gonna play their game again.
G2 all top three members.
Average speed was the highest monkey move way down the list, isn't that 1,500 speed while other players are up in like 1,700s yet monkey move?
The most goals plus assists in this grand final. He's where he needs to be when it matters most.
Well you talk about him getting jaked, you talk about how you look at play as mechanics ability, but he just has that hidden quality.
He's just purely a winner. You can analyze it as much as you want.
You can look at the stats. He just knows how to win world championships, major events.
I guess we're looking at back-to-back LAN champions as well.
Coming off the EWC when flying halfway around the world to win the world championship here,
signing the stock card, sitting on the field the whole time.
FNCS winners signed it previously last week and now
got the Rockling World Championships on it as well.
It's pretty special, I mean, for this team.
One of the hardest things in such a long season
is to be peaking at the right time.
There's something about Monkman that just knows how to do it.
We saw what happened.
Two years ago in London, they bombed out,
they come back to Worlds, and they just hit their straps.
They fired, they've done it again.
They win EWC, they get back in form.
They win Worlds.
And there's something about European Rockling.
Three open-air World Championships
all have gone to Europe.
We've yet to see North America when it mean and now is on the rise Sam is on the rise, but Europe number one
What a day what an epic story getting me all the way to game six as well
We finally it was fascinating to think about how one sided the championship
Grand finals have been up until this point, but they made a story out of it
But what a story becoming game one you get the first goal goes in
There's a tech pause that throws everybody off a little bit and then and then G2 just blows them out and yet still be
base they're able to stay grounded here and BDS manages to win a world championship.
It's the game plays the game style gives talks about the speed they make you make
mistakes. G2 is just overcompensating a little backfill they were going and
going and going and eventually they were overcommit and BDS were clinical that
game five I don't know how many shots BDS had but it felt like every single
one they took was straight into the net. They have opportunities they see
them and they score. They push every change to the absolute limit and I
I think we saw that, I mean you can analyze that last moment as many times as you want.
That was just the pressure at its highest and that's what BDS does to teams.
When it was two teams playing their game, we saw G2, the high flying pass and play trying
to make it work.
BDS is like, we'll lock it down on defense.
We will challenge every single play that's in the air and they did so.
Those last few games, so dominant by BDS.
And you never remember, BDS had to reverse Lee Fiery early on to even get up there
to play G2, then they beat G2 and 7.
This is what it takes to become a World Champion at this point.
You gotta be collected, you gotta have the mental, and BDS they have it, man.
I mean, that might be the best way.
They just win.
They just win.
I don't know what to say.
They just win.
They're fighting against G2.
They're fighting against the arena.
Every one.
Every time BDS scored, you could watch the fans pop up.
You could see, oh, I can see exactly who's rooting for BDS here.
The green suits who are here for General Mates all said, hey, we're the root
on our French brethren.
We came down to celebrate with them as well.
But G2, they had so much support there.
BDS had so much to go through and yet throw all that adversity that come out on top.
And not only that but we have to go back to the player walkouts.
We never do individual player walkouts and for BDS, for those players like Exotic and
Raleigh, getting booed by 5,000 fans as you walk out alone has to be so incredibly difficult.
Monkey Moon, it seems like he didn't care at all, he wanted it, but the other two,
you know, maybe a little bit younger, maybe a little bit more like wants some support
but on the other side, Wichita, getting all that fans support, it still was
not enough.
for Monkermoon. That was a sign of him as a leader. He almost took the booze himself. He tried to
absorb it all himself to take the pressure off Drowley. It is his first world championships
and exotic as well. His first final. So, I mean, I like that from Monkermoon. He said,
I'll take all the hate. I'm used to this. I've been here before and he showed up.
It was a wild hour of gameplay. I mean, we've been taking a look at some highlights here and
thinking about like, like a game number one was all G2, game two, zero. How often is this
This is how it gets. Game one, it's a massive blowout. Game two, zero, zero into overtime every time.
Yeah, just a one-nothing like worth, but here is the celebration when they won Monkey Moon.
Going crazy. Poppin' blood vessels, but it keeps fine with that.
The World Champion's excited, so incredibly happy. Of course, Drowling, Cassio as well.
BDS absolutely deserving to be named World Champion.
This is where all CS is so special. At the beginning of the season, people have questioned about this team.
He jumped off on multiple times about how they kind of formed in the last second in the first event.
Broly, it's first ever been on since, but he did not play as well as he has obviously now,
but it's been a marathon, a long one from January to September, continuously improving to this point
to play the best rock league they have in the past two days to become world champion. That's all that matters.
And not only that, back to back land champions as well.
Three weeks ago at EWC, BES took that one down as well.
So doing what Vitality did last year,
winning back to back lands, found a world champion.
The rookies these days are ridiculous.
Remember when I was in my first world championship,
I couldn't even fall in line.
My hands are shaking.
I mean, now we've seen Threadroopies win worlds.
And Charlie in that grand final in particular was fantastic.
Man, he just wasn't feeling nervous at all.
I feel like we've got to also just call
the elephant in the room G2 now three grand finals appearances of the world championship
three losses this the curse feels stronger than ever right now yeah it does I mean it was a
it was a good series there's an unfortunate end of it um yeah I mean it happens BDS out there
it does BDS they're gonna be taking down the grand finals of the world championship they are
world champions here and and no not a single sweep in the entire bracket one of the most
I can easily say it's the most competitive world championship we've ever had.
Oh absolutely, we were five games away from every single one going to Champions field throughout that bracket.
And we looked all the way back at that first match of BDS and G2.
They played for Champions field, came down to one mistake on Champions field.
Again, it seemed like it came down to one mistake with Atomic for BDS to be crowned Champions.
You can see again the French supporting each other as always.
Brothers enemies on the pitch but brothers on the field here greatest player in the game right now with the world's MVP exotic
That's two worlds MVP is one from last year's and obviously an exotic now and exotic again was overlooked by a lot of these teams in Europe
So monkeyman's all right. I'm gonna bring you into the fold. We're gonna get this young guy in trolley
Let's see what we can do and they've built something great
I mean it still wasn't perfect either no team went undefeated at this world championships BDS lost to Falcons in the Smith stage
So it's not as if they were peeking the entire tournament,
but just the way that they keep building,
they feel like an unstoppable force by the time
you get to the champ Sunday.
I think it's incredible to me that Exotic here comes out
as the clear MVP choice.
I mean, when you talk about just like the easy stories,
you've got Monkey Moons, the world champion,
you've got Joralee as a rookie.
Oh, these are the flashy titles
that we are obviously our eyes are drawn to.
But Exotic here has been grinding,
has been trying to get that win.
And here, the most valuable player.
And I was saying it for days.
Feed Exotic at the ball, whenever you can,
and monkey moves the opposite defense.
I will throw this ball out and we will get it done
with exotic with the placement on the shots
throughout the tournament was fantastic.
Yeah, you mentioned about stay with just so precise
and to do it in a grand final, the pressure at its highest
with an entire venue against you just shows
it's a testament to their character.
And yeah, a world authorily deserved MVP.
Man, look at this just control.
You are all the way top corner.
They only show as a arrow.
We don't even show as arrow top left in game five.
That's really trying to set the tone.
That's where he is with his family.
You see how much it means
that somebody become a world champion.
There's only so many of the games.
Millions upon millions of people have played this.
Thousands upon thousands have played at the highest level
and only three at the end of a season
can become world champions.
So you gotta give it to him, man.
He played absolutely special.
And it's a monumental achievement
to stay on that stage
and call yourself world champion.
Well done to BDS as they take that victory.
Now we do have, we have the Ally MVP
for the tournament here.
We also have some player accolades powered by Progressive.
We can talk about those although we've been giving people stats on that one all the time.
This one has stats being tracked across the entire season here.
Yes, over the three lands, major one, major two.
And then of course here based on goals for game saves for game and assists for game as well.
So we'll have to see who the leaders are.
The twins were leading.
We haven't seen the numbers yet.
I think we're not.
I think we're going to just show the winners straight up.
All right, let's see.
This is the striker of the season.
It's been Killiers all season.
Could be killers here as the progressive MVP.
We feel about Falcons, best offense in the world, absolutely.
There's no question about it.
And the Twins were just working together the whole time.
Ross to killers, or killers to Ross, didn't matter.
But killers just gets by his twin brother for the striker
in the season.
Yeah, best offense in the world,
perhaps the highest peak in the world.
We don't see every series about when
they're on man, they're exerting the watch.
A great one there.
Now, again, you're talking about players
that are connecting with him on the other side.
You can't have great offense all on your own.
I mean, some players can.
But in general, you need a team effort.
The playmaker of the year is Roas.
Oh, wow.
Look, it's because they just know what they're just a hot mind.
They know exactly what's going on.
Kiliers hits on the rest of the ball down.
Kiliers already pre-jumped them.
And when they play teams that aren't up to their level,
they dominate them.
And then they just form the stats,
and form the stats, and they're still great.
I guess really good teams.
And how cool is that?
Identical twins winning these awards.
That was a different player, by the way,
if you're a casual player out there.
Twin brothers on the same team putting in the work now the third one the savior of the season and to be going to virtue
Also here, I believe only 2.25 saves per game obviously lots of opportunities, but it's you got to get them
Then we got to get them
I usually the person who wouldn't save it this season you kind of getting pressured a lot
So vert got a work of the offense a little bit of a lot of years
Hope we can see that but also even when you get that pressure
You still got to make the saves and he did that in the old county server decide
But you are right it is a it is a funny award. You do have a little bit less pressure sometimes
And we got to give him credit because he led pretty much everything in a back goals assist and saves too
So he was really all over the field and if you missed it earlier, we announced all CS
2025 give you some fun details about it a five million dollar prize pool as well as a 1v1
Circuit last chance qualifiers online 20 teams of worlds give so many fun things to look forward to
I think Johnny Boyce happy about the 1v1 that his cast there his cast was phenomenal
That's the grand finals guys, but he is so excited about this 1v1
We're gonna crown an ROCS ones champion. It's gonna be so much fun
And the thing I love the most last chance qualifiers is gonna be a lot of fun
Everyone can try and participate and get those last four spots for 20 teams of world
It just keeps everyone still in the rice even if you know in in contention
So I know as well. We've been having this one graphic all season where we show kind of like yours
Here's what's coming on during the season. We slowly filled it out and just yesterday
I was talking about like here we are September 15th.
This is the grand finals we finally under the bottom.
And now the next day we have an entirely new graphic
that we're starting all the way back at the beginning of again
in January we'll start that major one qualifier.
This tournament will start all the way through September.
And also no big break
cause we got those last chance qualifiers as well.
So there's gonna be rock league action
every month up until September.
Lots to look forward to in 2025 for the RLCS.
We can't wait to get that one started folks.
But in the meantime,
We're going to just revel in the glory of BDS here, and again, they are the new dynasty on the pitch.
It's hard for me to comprehend that they did it again, I guess the same team in the same building that they won it in last time.
It's so impressive to do it when you're in North America too, with this crowd behind them or not behind them.
It was just amazing to see Monkey Moon again, just take those boots for the entire team and just feed off it the whole time.
Not many people can do that. I don't think, you know, you can play against the entire crowd and one of the best,
if not the best team all season along on the other side.
There is one team that can play off that.
That was first touch.
I just want to give credit out for the games there.
The crowd was the top kids.
Good match.
I mean, best of three.
Here's how things went out for the talent predictions.
Congratulations to James Bot, Stax, and myself.
Woo!
I'm going to be honest.
I don't think this is actually updated.
I do believe it will be.
James Bot undefeated at the top.
And Johnny Bot, I believe will be tired.
Unless he changes pick last second.
Unless he changes pick last second.
And maybe it's the only way to tie him up.
I was right, Wave.
You won this graphics this graphics on the TV. I am I've won
Congratulations to Shogun though for pretty good BDS. I mean he got everything else wrong, but the BDS
But he did get right so well done incredible over on the fantasy side of things congratulations serious
No, I still find a way to win baits I still find a way
Yeah, Roas he was the offensive that we p throughout this morning and he really carried
Like if there's a loser MVP, it's got to be him for sure contrast of me being at the top of predictions
at the very bottom tied for last in fantasy here.
I talked to our statistician.
He said I was 0.01 behind Stumpy going into that series
and I gained exactly 0.01 to be tied for Stumpy at the end.
Well, with the predictions as well,
James Peltz just said he's been robbed.
So he fully believes that he's the outrock winner
of the prediction contest.
Which makes it even better.
So James didn't win.
Way fun.
We'll see it, folks.
Congrats.
What a day.
What a tournament.
What a season of Rocket League.
That's our show.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
We'll see you bright and early in January in 2025.
For the next season of the RLCS, y'all stay safe out there.
Good luck.
What are the official uniforms?
No tunes today?
No.
My apartment was robbed last night.
Took my cable-ready TV, VCR, portable cassette player.
Yep.
All the latest tech.
If only Progressive had renters insurance,
like their home insurance.
Then we could bundle our cars and get
the same 24-7 protection.
I think we disinvented that.
This is the best day ever.
Well, I still got robbed.
That's a pretty good day.
This is the opportunity of bringing
that you've sexed upon yourself.
Whatever you're saving for.
