. so. so so.. so. so so..... so. so so.. so. Oh my god, voice cra- what the fuck? I'm gonna read, alright?
That's fucking good people.
Two are going to be true and one is false.
Listen you lovely people in the chat,
You can play as well.
Why don't you go ahead and ask them both questions.
I am so scared about this one.
You guys gotta guess which one is wrong, alright?
Are you guys ready?
I usually write this,
So I'm very-I'm very scared because
I'm gonna get it wrong
And then, you know
Ooh!
I'm excited now
The pressure is on me
No pressure
Okay Let's go ahead.
Oh my god!
That is true. True, true. Excuse me. For two years to become an auto mechanic, don't know where medical came from.
True, true.
Icy is the youngest member of G2 and G2 have never played in a
V05 series at a global event.
Sorry to spoil it.
Three is incorrect.
Three's incorrect?
Yeah.
But I think three is incorrect.
The only global event they've ever come to, they went out 02. Yeah, I think three is incorrect. The only global event they've ever come to,
they went out 0-2.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, but Jonah P., you know what?
He strikes the easy one.
Wait!
We still haven't said it yet.
We still didn't get there.
You guys were confident in your response.
Yeah, we're weren't confident.
Wait, wait!
Why do you think they play a B-05 in global?
Oh, wait!
Ascension!
Oh that doesn't count.
That's not a globe event.
It's America's ascension.
It's international.
I don't need the rules,
I just read the thing!
Read the buzzer.
Alright get the next one.
This is why I write these segments.
Also Trent is the youngest.
So that's also a lie.
So much lying.
I don't know who to trust anymore.
Trent played on his high school basketball team.
Valens most played agents as Omen and up, Jonah P had two pair of socks.
All true.
I hope three is true.
I really hope three is true.
If three isn't true,
I think I'm going to walk off set.
So...
I'm actually going to say that the three is a lie.
You can say three is a lie? Yeah. You want me to walk off set? I think a lot of people that the three is a lie. You can see three as a lie?
Yeah.
You want me to walk off set?
I think a lot of people might love it.
We'll see what happens next.
Trent looks like one.
I just wanna say if it's true,
can I see your picture?
Oh my God.
Actually didn't wanna see the top scene.
All right let's see.
What do you got here? Trent is the most suburban boy I've ever seen.
I feel like he played in every sports team.
Well, turns out it wasn't basketball.
Okay.
He played on his high school basketball team was a lie
and now Jonah P., we got to see the Ducks.
Show us the Ducks.
We've seen these cats.
What's the number?
I don't think they have anyone's name
on the back of this.
And also Val's most played agent is Omen.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That makes sense, yeah.
He plays it all the time.
The bro-man.
All right, next up.
Here we go.
We got one more here.
G2 have the third highest selling capsule in VCT America.
Trent's favorite food is pepperoni pizza
and the belief had the highest
ACS in VCT America stage one.
Does that include playoffs?
You know we need some wait
You see I am just uh, i'm just a fleshy meat bag that's reading. No no
See the pepperoni pizza thing. So it's the camera
Is I think pepperoni pizza is true. Yeah, I can see that. G2's quite popular.
That's the highest ACS for his team definitely.
Maybe if it's a camera out of lines.
I think three's a lot.
I would be disappointed if Trent's favorite food isn't pepperoni pizza because it's delicious.
Does he not look like his favorite food is pepperoni pizza
why still do costume hinges yeah this is just starting off
i've been at the side guy like he looks like but what if
like they need to know that video I didn't see the video something wrong. I didn't watch the video
Three's a lie. Okay, yeah. Three is a lie.
Leaf had the highest ACS in VCS America.
That was a lie.
Fraudulent.
But he did it in his team, I believe.
In his team?
Yeah.
I think – no, Oshkosh got owned in playoffs yeah uh maybe cryo it might have been crying that'd be incredible i'll check it later we'll check it later thankfully space is here to give
us all that alright guys he was in the top three. Yeah, he was actually.
So G2 of course.
There we are.
G2 is a first team pick during the draw show now.
Here's the question.
What happened to my voice?
What happens with my voice?
Was that mistake? Was that a mistake?
Was that a bold choice?
How do you feel about that?
Because Paper X, they went for it right out of the gate.
They just wanted to create a game with high expectations
with all the crowd cheering and going crazy for it.
And then they decided to go for G2.
Hear me out.
What's up, Rae?
It was small surprise because of the form
that we saw G2 play in
and how, you know, the rest of the year went
but not the biggest
I will say though like
matchup wise, I think PaperX matches up
incredibly well against G2. We've known G2 to be a team that, you know,
oftentimes kind of runs by the book, so to speak.
Whereas Paper X very much doesn't care about it.
Although I do think –
So one of my favorite things about watching G2 in the America State is how good they are
at shutting down star players.
Top of the morning, dude.
You watch them against people like...
Yeah you drink coffee?
Like...
We can drink coffee at 1am?
Red Bulls!
Team Red Bull baby!
...is looking for there of course and they're really good I think especially on their defensive side
But uh...
I got a little something
You just wake up?
Uh no, I've been awake but I got my coffee now Nice super coordinated Yeah, exactly. I think we need to take into consideration how the Swiss stage went.
Yes, D2 made it two hours out of it but it was sweaty games like they got 13-1 on Icebox.
Yes, they managed to bring him back don't get me wrong he was good. they got 13 so maybe it's also thinking how much that
is on G2 and how much of it is on their opponents if you're thinking about their form just here?
Interesting.
And you know what though something you had mentioned a second ago. You were talking about oh my god
Yeah, I've seen before so one has to wonder like we great
Have a really good like I think I'm still waking up It's tough
We need some time Joe
We need a little bit of time here
Between the AC on one Exactly. But back in the day, we were mentioning for example all of the journey from Forsaken
He was playing on the Duelist back then if I'm not mistaken
Many things have changed and again Paperrex even though they're super crazy
They keep advancing and moving on
And bringing new ideas constantly.
And even the first moments that you're going to the server,
you either super sure
and you take them back picking from the side
to be very difficult
to come back against them.
Yeah, I don't want to see my picture.
A lot of people discredit that ice and run and just low Yeah, I don't want to see my pickups. It's not a good look. And this is actually a really close game.
I think a lot of people discredit that ice and run
and just look at the two match losses if they went out
but I think it was like 13-10, 13-8
there was a real world
It's not a good look
God could have won that back then
This team was good even in the core of it Even a few years ago It's not a good look.
Hey, what the fuck are we looking at? This is fucking... Those are not my pickings! Alright I'm not even doing that bad. But I actually think their style plays really well into a disruptive team like PaperRex.
And I think they have it in them to find an upset, especially if the map pool is good for it.
Yeah exactly we still need to know how they're going to do in this event.
Again I think that yesterday what happened what happened with uh fanatic and
genji yeah jengi are looking uh unreal but especially on those later in the later maps
yeah it wasn't we're not the easiest pick wrong are you talking about 100 beats and everything
coming at this point like this yeah no it's completely that's hindsight buddy i think
that with g2 nrg stop at fns yeah i didn't watch the video, we can watch the video on our break.
I literally woke up
at about 10 minutes ago.
This shit's fucked dude.
It was so hard to wake up.
I was having a crazy dream.
What am I dreaming about?
Maybe I shouldn't share that.
Hey, Vaughn.
What's up looking very cool today?
I like the shades.
Now this is an interesting match
because when we last saw you
on international stage
it was up against
this very team, Paper Rex.
So how are you anticipating this match
knowing what you know versus them?
Yeah I think this time around
were much more prepared in game out of game
where we're more mature as a team
Last time we were just kind of lost so they beat us pretty hard
you know nevertheless they're one of the best teams here so it's going to be
a tough game but i think we're much more prepared this time so i'm excited
to see how it goes all right well best of luck. Those fucking shades are sick!
Valen, if you don't rock
the shades to the stage, disqualified.
Okay? Disqualified right out
of the gate. But there is something he did say
there that was very interesting.
Prepared. that was the word
That he was throwing out a lot
And we just talked about how you can't really prepare
Who do you guys got winning? I won there
I think you can
Okay go for it
I feel like I haven't played ballerina in like one player i think you can okay go for it i i think you actually have to prepare
for i've been playing ballard in like 10 days now the biggest thing that people kind of
think about this team is if their style is really disruptive that's my rank down for
the matches. teams by surprise and then you get a little overwhelmed as an igl
and the game starts slipping i don't expect that to happen today
i think a lot of their ideas you can kind of look ahead
hey they like to do this default not for the silly game oh my god it's a lot of sets i'm gonna die
but it's a lot of set stuff that they will run after the matches no joke i need to go
to the gym i've been to the gym who is really good in that prepped upon
always comes in with a great game plan.
I think there is
a world where they
can get a leg up here.
Yeah, but if you look
at it from the other
perspective like
when was the Iceland
two years ago?
It's about time
to announce it
and announce what?
This core has gone through
to even get to here,
like that is a distant memory.
Yes of course the sense
of wanting revenge
has to be definitely there
but many things have happened.
I think that the preparation Oh wait are you at the gym? It i think that the preparation is like that it was like yesterday
making it the best out of any kind of series that you went actually getting the victories
under your belt so you know what it is to go
to an international stage,
to lose but also now
knowing what it is to win.
It means that you won't crumble
like last time and that's really
where Paper X gets teams right?
It's really more i think about
mental resiliency to beat this team when they pull off that crazy round
when jing does something ridiculous having the resiliency to just reset and
go into the next round is important and i
i think g2 has that. We saw
G2 do that, literally. We saw them do it in the Swiss
stage. They got 13-1, turned it around, won
the series. Yeah man, I mean look anything's possible
in this game after we've been covering it for
so long. That's just the thing i've taken away from it now let's
go ahead though and see the results of our mastercard fan poll earlier we asked which
duelist was going to win this acs wasn't even a contest uh love uh was 68. 66.1 i can read
uh not shocking do they have twitter? Well actually a little shocking because KongKong's on the planet.
I don't think there are lots of users though, right?
But the APAC fans use twitter and Chinese fans don't as much.
There is always a way to
make things right.
Well no it's just you have
to put those things in
context.
It is.
In context.
It's daytime in Asia
right now and a lot of
Jing fans use it
And also he's goading
I mean He's golden on the sticks.
Many people have been waiting
for this, right? Especially
after after the stage now they
get the seed one come on it's
time to see you play Oh baby
Bay joined me I thought I'll
be the only one.
But maybe they think2 as well?
Predictions from our talent for today,
and IceGrey too right?
He's on one today!
And he's gonna be so right
He's gonna be so right. I'll buy him a drink if this is correct.
I am actually really curious what...
Look, I'll be honest with you.
I do feel confident in G2 going into today
but I did pick them because I'm sticking to my guns that
G2's gonna make top four, and that's
my hot take.
I don't think it's unreasonable.
The Muffers will be gone by Sunday.
There's many things coming in too.
You guys still don't think it was a hot take you know i thought it was a hot take but the more i've watched your g2 and
the more i've thought about it the more i've believed in this team ah love it love it all
right well i also think paper x they play a couple maps where they're
actually I like Sunday's uppers by Monday
double duelist still and I really think those comps limit your options
my ads on though, two more ads off
I feel like if this gets into a drawn out affair
and Valen can really work his way through the-
I don't know if I'm tough enough to stay up here
and motivate me?
Bro, if Valen's in your shoes
I would knock the fuck out.
Imma give it to you straight bro.
They either go super...
Static default things are not, we just send it.
That's it.
Well, we broke it all down.
Hopefully you guys are satisfied because
we're about to start this bad boy.
You got Paper X versus G2 EDG taking on team heretics day seven of master shanghai starts
right now Let's go.
Where we going?
Let's go. Where are we going?
Let's go. Let's go. foreign I've always dreamed of becoming the champion. But when the five contracts came out,
I knew this was a chance that I had been dreaming about.
I'm really proud of myself because it's an international event.
I was watching it when i was younger
when i was 15. so i'm just playing here and
dropping 70 in three maps eyesore's got a really nice spot
is anyone gonna give him the target oh oh now he's giving his position away three to close this out no jingjing
i can just feel crisp and kill you all so just be careful
with valorant i found my calling my goal is to be unpredictable.
Always changing tempos, go fast when there's technique to go slow
Go high when there's technique to go low
I like that, I like that.
Is this some Toy Story shit?
Ahhh! Oh, no! oh
oh way to keep G2 in playoffs. What a way to do it.
Honestly, I wanted to win this game extremely bad and that's what we did.
I want to play at my best...
I'm pretty sure there was one before.
...kind of for my teammates
especially for ic it's his first event ever
is rookie year i just want him to experience being on the big stage
now that jimmy back, W Gaming is back to work.
We can compute again.
Since you chose us,
You better be very prepared
Because if you lose
We're gonna hear you out on Twitter We're gonna hear you out on Twitter.
We're gonna hear you out on Twitter?
Oh my god, the worst possible thing ever! Hey yo! We gotta stay away.
Okay.
W cosplay.
We gotta stay away. We gotta stay away. You guys stand here and look really cool.
Oh shit, wait Alex! I forgot about how it's breaking his desk on stage
there's no way he's gonna hit his desk on stage it would be unprofessional right Here we go.
Paper X versus G2, our second day of playoffs
and it's going to be a clash of styles.
You're going to have the G2 heavy prep work versus W gaming on Caperex inside, you couldn't
have asked for a better way to kick off our day here Mimi.
This guy said bro just focus on the game don't let chat get to your head.
Oh...
Chat does not get into my head, bro.
I'm in your head all the way around....in the playoffs, and they have a chance to make
an upset happen, and as we look at
the match, we're starting off
on two-match back-to-back where
PaperX is planning to do double-doubles
I love the fact that Split is going to be
the first map we know that PickerX didn't play it a lot
in the region, they didn't even get
to play it until the grand final.
They left it open as a third map time
and time again but they never got
to that point. Split Lotus
and who?
There with the solo controller again as you're saying
in the double duelist for Paper X
there is some preparation that can be done here
and things are looking better than I expected for g2 yeah it's
the fuck is that alex walking with a bunch of dogs in the dog to the team
double doulas comp on both these master pay preps he's really going to be
reliant on opening gambits to take a ton of space early off
just like one piece of sky util
and on heavy executions. Is that his
team or the other team?
Actually, it's probably his team.
It makes kind of sense.
He doesn't actually have that much to hold in the post flat i think there's a real chance they could win this match or
there's a chance paper x could just run them over
what is the alternative to that situation as a situation goes good for paper
what do they do in that uh you know against but you can't just run them down yeah what did you
see if jitsu is playing on sites on their defensive side split it also that many reps yeah the team so hard to play
in front of your casters you got achilleos and paper thin
and they're totally gonna be unbiased ain't that right guys
absolutely what are the new challenges?
Uh, we got a pie challenge
That's new
We'll add 100 bucks to donations every time Alex smashes his desk?
This is actually sick though, that's the rematch from 252 Iceland
when Garde lost to the PaperX That was sick I'm telling you this G2 team is so dead right now. I love the way they play off of FazeR
You've got some insane cracked players on that squad
They turn around on their head
and valiantly beat the particular
have been super impressive
Jonah P, you know you saw it in some of the highlight videos Yeah. Oh, we're off to a roaring start already as Jhin going forward able to find the first kill now and gonna be taken down.
The crowd coming alive, Leaf gonna be noted.
Dealt with there by-to-by with the Sheriff in hand...
Wait it's over already?
Wait what the fuck the round is over already!
The round is already over Chris!
Oh my god.
How did they start off so hot?
That's crazy What's their regime? He wants a little bit more, he won't get that 4k but that is going to be PaperX taking the pistol.
Blistering base.
Wait what the fuck just happened?
Oh my god I was so quick.
That has been missing from PaperX until stage 1 is Jing.
The way they do it.
They are not even doing anything. They have no idea what they're doing. They don't know how to play this game. oh my god that was so quick it's been missing from paper rex until stage one
is jing the way that he could explode onto a
site and just take rounds over this is just so good at identifying
these positions out there if there is a little bit of help from the flash but
dj spin that to challenge on that and then he just starts taking space i
mean this is what makes jinx so dangerous
as he does not like oh this is a bad look for money yet bro there's always going back to
one yet I love these by the top of today bro quite often we don't gotta bring
that up right now aggressive from the outset in the pistol now slowed down smoke gonna be coming through tap
onto the orb go ahead snatch that up get jing halfway to that showstopper no one playing for
it here in the site now i'm lurking back here at alley,
but it's going to be a pass over on that spike just really fast
to get this ult for the Raze.
What's up Jody?
Honestly we're starting fast and I'm kidding as I knew.
Ah shit... eyes wow a push out there from valent gets punished a bit but doesn't die
something just gonna be eating that flash but jing he wants to try to get this alt online
so he's going to push aggressively looking for any people yeah we got jody here we got Jody here! We got Jody here!
For Brigade. To watch PRX do their thing.
Look at these eco-chasers.
Let me check the right side.
Question mark? to pick more but i'll go good identification here by paper rex question mark they died to the spike
where g2 was these guys are pro spike and trying to punish that as best as they could and like you said jody who do you got here either you don't care either way
you know what i I like that. Actually no I don't. There's no competition.
We have no uh... adversary. Did the best there?
Alright guys, I'm ready for G2! Did their best there, expecting the aggression from a rex covering it perfectly.
Only lost one player to it so for what its worth that's not bad at all frankly.
Tech pause?
Already?
Oh no.
They're gonna drag their shit out, they're gonna get their stage time one way or another.
That's true.
We've been very lucky.
Let's see what's going on here, looks like something to PRX camp.
You guys just watching the Twitch feed or maybe you can be...
Everything is taken care of?
Twitch.
Maybe have to unplug it and plug it back in again, ya know? Twitch. Twitch.
I turned the yeah it's a good start for paper x one thing i'm really curious about here killios is with these two turns they're up i turn
there out you know how important is it for g2 to have a really good
defender side because it's the double duelist right and
and generally paperx is doing their damage
on the attacker side
whereas G2's comp
is generally going to do its damage
on the defender side.
So in my mind
I'm starting to wonder like
what's the round score
that G2 needs to get to
that I feel comfortable
something like that so like three and nine and i think four and eight or
something like that. So, like 3-9 and I think 4-8 or something like that.
So, you know, what is the actual scoreline
that they need to get here on this defender side
to have a good chance?
I mean, you'd want it to be as many
as humanly possible for the G2 camp.
Sure.
And we'll see if they're going to be able to get one on the board as we do get ready to go into that bonus round here
best opportunity forum is the firepower will be in their favor for the most part
good morning tarik and chat we'll see what you guys are waking
up for this too huh looking like four prx honestly it was a struggle today for me squared away here
with forsaken on stage curious if something thinks about an outlaw or something like that
very what happened jason what happened to his stuff bro
be bold with his gear is just known for doing bold things
give him that outlook and the man is going to put it
to good use, so we could see a purchase
like that come through at the moment
but we can still see the game just shy of
4,000 credits. I'm looking forward to go ahead
pick up one up but likely wants to have a bit more money going into Yeah.
Skibore's not working? Yep, and that's a paper X thing. you know that is also very much his speed yep and
that's a paper x thing they will grab a judge and maybe pass it
over to jing jing we'll give him the specter help alex
like that might happen what do you mean help alex help the fucking team bro alex is gonna eat him up man it was on splint he
was just that's true absolutely breaking ankles i had people
down forgotten about that i think i wanted to energy hasn't you
they'll never forget about it
but you know now they're changing their roster up so yeah
let's see how i'm wearing a fake jersey well on timo it said it was 100 real
but they really like emphasized on the wheels
i see that clock ticking down once yeah i don't know what the
but it seems like we should be Yeah, I don't know what the...
The logic there was but...
Ah yes. That's from the PaperX social media
Tweeted out their Guardians of the Galaxy
And it's a Vandal here for something Interesting
That is quite the buy, but
It's Paper X so
They're good enough to get away with
these kind of things
for sure
So let's see if they're gonna be wary of a trap or something like that
Okay, easy face from back. Let's see... G2
Free site? Yeah, free site.
Make sure that it is clear so now
space can be taken. Something pushing forward.
TP up to heaven.
There's Icy.
Trying to force them back. Something does get tagged up in the pinch
Oh, it's been a pain here for the moment. My freak to say about other sports
We're protected by nice. He's able to find a headshot
All this
What this guy up here into heaven something's running one oh i'm trying to be coming wait he's doing that thing No way. What?
Oh my god!
Dude! Oh my god! Yeah, that was insane.
Oh my god...
What?
What?! use and plays the time so nicely something just beautiful on site the dash to elbow was like
such a good move in your moment yeah he's like kind of Yeah, to go back out?
Dev1ze not even surprised.
I think Dev1ze is the only guy that uses like a small mouse pad right? Like i don't think any other pro does.
Yeah i've never seen that before.
I would be used to using a small mouse pad but could not play anymore.
Oh shit he's doing it too much.
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
The duality of man I feel that
too much I feel that too much.
I feel that too much.
I'm not sure Gavin, to be honest. They're going to go and suss out the other side of the map.
Yeah, against an eco, PaperRex definitely feeling like okay there's too many players
over here that we've seen let's try something a little bit different it feels like a trap
And they made the correct read for sure mind freak clean there taking leap out
catching the one sitting up with smoke trying to fake that they're still going
to be pushing their way over onto a but the reed is good here from
this side of g2
so some damage can be dealt fallon has that stinger in hand
exchanged here on both sides hot not catching anybody's tps over to the
side shows up Oh wow. He got it. Down!
Jing dead, Jonah P there for the backstab.
That was an immense amount of damage he had for a shot going to be coming in alive.
Oh wow I guess that is...
Yeah that's a good kill.
30 seconds left.
They might want them trying to fake a pivot but g2
they're very much stuck here oh and i see them
unbelievable it's very doable they're both low insane how good he is
push forward mind freaking the plan one again hp bar is is falling low. Valon coming away with that one.
Dabai swinging around the side. Persinkin's gonna be the one collecting that kill now it's all on Trent.
They're covering Vandal in hand and low. And Persinkin takes down the sky.
There's a Seeker coming through just to confirm his position.
Double peek?
Yeah, what a shot!
Just pushes for it nearly loses his life but...
Fuck yeah such a good chance there too. He's gonna do something! nearly loses his life but paper X off
this is a good chance to together for
sorry so quick already 402 minutes of
those like we have damage they read this
nicely valent he's the best thing I
learned flying through this!
Wait, was something a 1v3?
Was it?! Oh fuck. It was?
You're kidding me. I forgot about that.
Oh my god oh my god
Hold on hold on hold, Gary DePog!
Let's see what kind of value he'll be able to find here
I'll put the animation later
They just got a lot of info to G2 that there is nobody over in A3 I'll put the animation later. It's for charity! How dare you die of cringe?
Put some respect.
You can tell who hates Charity here.
Wait, is the 1v3 for Char? No the 1v3's 100 gifted.
Oh my god. It's all the way around.
They cleared this right? Surely!
Ooh wow So far the push forward not fully being watched for. Wow, hopefully downing off now on the ground value not found this guy's
and Jonah swings and dies?
Yeah
Oh wow It'll come up with one before getting taken down yeah from jing trying to delay boom also available
but ballot comes swinging through he's instantly dealt with this distracted
oh my god the round is going too fast, I can't get 50-something to start.
I wanna know their warm up routine How did they start off so hot?
What are they eating?
How much are they sleeping?
All in the routine already sleeping early traps that are getting the early picks against paper already somebody like divine comes up with these huge multi-kills that completely turn around this is so good
to start off the game numbers advantage for pay for re I mean, just so good this year has
mind freak been. He is just
so crucial to the
success of this team. Him and Divide. That was a 1v2?
You fucking dickheads!
God. Okay, whatever. It'll be added on today
Surely there will be another 1v3
Oh my god guys
Okay I see how
I see what game we're playing bro I see what game we're playing bro. I see what game we're playing now.
I see what game we're playing now! I got you guys now.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE TRIED TO WARM YOU?!
You guys are fucked....the way the paper racks are gonna be rotating around like you said the reads have been good they've been understanding
the way that paper wrecks are going to be rotating around the map and getting
themselves into position
the trade-outs here i was trying to get the subs i can't read the chat
it's consistent do you think a Alex will smash his desk on stage?
Imagine you're a Paper X player
and you roll around
and your coach slamming his desk
It'd be so funny your coach let me adjust. Yeah, he's so fun to watch. I think they're probably used to it at this point
I just want you to know
how far does the extent of his anger go?
Because these players sometimes look kinda scared so...
I dunno.
How come you always take your friend Alex
and like buzz on people's Alex, I would just start laughing.
That's how that...
Yeah, I feel like those-
I think I'd be laughing because I'm scared.
Ooohhh Way too a big, much needed rip-meat. I'm gonna swing in and then swing out.
They don't wanna mess with that stinger again!
Yeah, I wouldn't either.
Little damage dealt.
Ducks is hanging.
Look at them trying to reinforce this mid position for the kids tucked away in mail and for now looks like paper x is going to be more than happy
to just leave the buy here. Let him linger
Cool cucumber
We hold three position though
25 gifted from Drexler shit box
Appreciate you 25 gifted from Drexler shit box. I appreciate you is it like a scam the animation
Something comes away with the kale valley gonna be gonna be taken down, half your smokes now. Gone that paranoia, not going to
be in play.
He's walking in? This is crazy!
So ballsy!
It's done.
No kills, I gotta get healed though.
Kinda forcing the issue here
Yeah, they are sports pace is able to take him down
Wow oh yeah, but he needs to get there sooner rather than later james able to find one to buy hitting another oh my god this is crumbling they've had those stacked a few times now
yeah noise...to catch him off guard, but Jing is watching for it now.
They all know where he's at!
Nice little wallbang there!
Do some additional damage here...
Any magic?
There's no ammo in this fucking gun?! We'll pull back here around the corner spot while I have some of the reloaded firepower.
There's no ammo in this fucking gun?
6-0, Paper Rex continue onward.
And this is the new Paper Rex! They're a lot more patient!
Yes it still looks kind of aggressive because...
...some people are trying to push angles but he's doing it quite late now Oh, wow! Yeah, that's sick. Yeah, the onesie granted.
It's like seven to one fucking...
Okay, the animation.
Where is the animation? Wait why am I playing the animation
I got scammed. No we're not playing
the animation though
Why are we playing the animation
it was a scam
Oh trent that lurk just came a hair too late he was almost there in time to maybe spin that round back into gta's favor he's not quite able to a little bit of confirmation
no we can't four ultimates
i just put this jersey on around to get the win and you'd expect it to be this one but you also don't want to be seeing an over commitmentcommitment of ultimates here. So, pit off the rip.
We'll see what else becomes necessary as
the round goes on, but for now it's going to be mid control
firmly in the hands of G2.
They know with this operator
in play they can't give up any of those early picks again.
You kind of afford to do it on an eco bet.
How you don't wear the pants?
Okay, okay buddy.
Thank you for the five gififficult gain and that allows something to continue
Watch that angle!
Although I see...
Ooh saw that!
Was looking for it but this time not going to be rewarded.
Bit of a fake pullback here.
They're trying to audio bait us a little bit here.
Is he gonna ult into the corner? They just pinged it out.
Dude GQ gets so much space and paper x always just take it I think G2 need a pun there. They're also trying to buy him though.
That's sad.
And Razor is flanking too? What the fuck?
Gonna pull off what Trent could not in the previous round.
Blank crawl available for the coming player.
There's a jump out on Icy, dealt with it!
Believe this showstopper was pulled!
Ult not finding value!
And there's jake this is embarrassing what's happening Oh my god. Oh my god.
No joke, Kakadu.
They have to fight them early on.
Like 5v7?
Fuck! I didn just put the thing on!
Get onto the site, we can pass this bike over to Mike.
Yeah, I feel like they should probably take ramp back right?
Just let them out of there. I feel like they should probably take ramp back, right?
Just let them out of the lane.
Something...
They don't use body to the space they take. So you get the info and then they don't use bodies
so they just like, they're playing the guessing game
Outfit change?
We have to, we have to change it
But I just put this on though,
Can i change my pants?
Does it count? Can we count it?
Are we counting a pants change?
I'll put some shorts on
Try and stack for an A hit. Got a ton of utility.
Davai one away from the pit.
Jing one away from the showstopper.
Valon is that Paranoia in a stinger?
Oh, Valon down to ground. Valen, is that Paranoia the stinger?
No!
I'm climbing. Climbing. I walk away for two seconds and the dawn's over. This is not fair, bro.
This is not fucking fair.
It's not fair!
Well unfortunately, not much hope in hell.
One now noted, James.
I'm gonna go back to the I heard G2 was happy they got picked by PaperX.
Little did they fucking know.
Can you say that?
Nah, I made that up.
Okay!
I think I actually saw a clip of them swinging it at me.
I actually learned about it when we were on VLT.
Oh wait! Okay! don't forsake him right on the back step oh wait final shot suddenly i see okay this could be it
yeah it's better for heaven though looking his way over here towards ramp
here's the entry paint shell it's a solid read from Ice, he just creates some space
Gets it onto the fuse
Oh my god, look away! Look away!
He's like, he's not real
Hahaha Again, a decent effort. So very close to getting that first round win here for G2! Wait wait wait I gotta play the sound for the costume change.
Just barely managed to squeak by with the win again.
Yeah it's great to see iC coming alive here having a great round.
Was there already a GG timeout? Did gt timeout oh yeah good point i don't think
they have so clean that's surprising our paper racks a little bit of a
little bit of whippy from jing and devai but... I have cringe bros for charity.
Why not? Good enough.
I mean they're
just so efficient. They are
so active on the map, especially on Split. A map that...
There it is. It's kinda late!
Yeah.
It's already over bro.
...are constantly moving around trying to find those open angles,
those open spaces, Jing and Davai in particular.
Fuck yeah! Thanks man!
Thanks dude!
Oh is there a second?
I don't know how it was the first one!
Oh yeah this is the second one. I forgot the first one!
I only remember the tech buzz.
I probably looked away when it happened and then
it was just gone.
Either way, we don't care just to be able to get those
four rounds to close up some of that momentum see if it works still too guys this would be
exciting This is gonna be exciting to get 13-0.
And G2 can definitely do this, we've seen it time and time again in this tournament that they are stalwart, They are so good at getting their aim under control
look how black it's actually
like that
no I can't i said i can't she's so
comfortable
I feel the gravity just pulled me down
like naturally.
Look at that hole! Holy shit!
And he saw someone follow through.
Oh my god, it's all dead!
Oh my god...
OOOOOOOOH Oh my god! Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
Damn. Wow
Damn These guys from LA suck It's just beautiful understanding of the utility that Breach is going to be throwing and where he can get away with not getting hit by it.
Wait, how are they gonna cook so hard? Oh my god!
You know as soon as that aftershock comes through he's like oh I could stay tucked in there. They're not even in a fight right now. They're beating up the whole team. Oh my god!
They're not even in a fight right now. They're beating up little kids.
Hey, Brex are leaving the guys like... so easily.
They know what to do before they even think of it.
Bro this is embarrassing for our scenes
for our chatters who had jitsu on their pickems that's what we need to really
figure out once again right as that smoke gets ready to dissipate like we knew prx would win, but like this? Look forward into the poison orb there with shorty in hand.
Something really wanted to take this forward space, but look at this he's got the reason
Oh my god!
He just pranked a guy and looked behind the box
He was like please don't clear me forward
notes i'm hearing something dashing forward shorty in hand hunting seeking targets can't find either of them they're already dead as he swings around
now it is once again all on trent see if he can just stop this from being a flawless...
No way, this isn't 13-0.
That would be fucking awesome.
I don't know!
I hope it's 13-0 so're learning their lesson to show up to a
match like this he's reading this lurk around the back very well how dare they not shoot
bag just swing in mind freak he'll have it it's a flawless 10-0 here, Paper X two more rounds
they played out in the half as they look to deliver
potentially a 13-0.
Kadeem certainly feels like it and now economy is never going to gonna be an issue for him the rest of this half.
He just kills them and runs away like nothing happened!
Just ahead of the paranoia hitting him...
The IC is literally...
What's going on?
Wait, they're literally beating them up dude.
They're really stuffing them in the locker and shit this is bullying. is working with it literally beating them off dude we're going to be really
stuffing them in the locker and shit
bullying actually bullying like the
plans here for paper racks oh my god
my god can go I mean leave just man she's trying to jiggle My god. Fucking guy.
Leaf just, man's just trying to jiggle! They can't even jiggle the fucking corners.
Yeah they can't, he's too fast.
Double push up here in a main...
Okay wait.
...stuff with there. Trent does get noticed and then... Okay, okay wait. Sign of life?
Oh no.
Oh my god oh my god help
help help help Oh my god oh my god, oh my god. Help help help
Oh my god, oh my god, help me help me help me
Even to stay safe full rotation still not called in here from the side of g2 iz
okay now starting to make his way over here towards a try to reinforce No HP on site. He's on an island!
Oh my god, his sashes are beautiful!
Okay wait this is the one I can feel it. dealt with. Now the double approach.
Okay, wait. This is the one I can feel it.
Okay.
Oh!
Oh!
What the fuck's going on?
The don't look so good!
Oh, when he gets that one...
Yeah.
He is!
Dude, what the- Fuuuck! something just not allowing for these showstoppers to even get through oh my god minutes. Something in particular is feeling it with that AWP. You can just tell with those flicks, and that's the best from the business when it comes to Blast Pack landings
Is it fucked up if I say don't come back home?
Is it fucked up if I said don't come back home? Is it fucked up if I say, don't come back home?
Why is he mad?
He's always mad.
... both of them. It's perfect parity. He's going to look
to deliver utter destruction here.
He's mad that they're dying.
They haven't lost any rounds, but they've still
died. So it's not
a perfect game yet.
Whoever's phone that is at the studio, please take it away.
You guys hear that static? Is this static right? I was just checking my headset to make sure that wasn't mine.
Okay, that's fine. to make sure that wasn't mine like what the okay difficult on site it's not me no
freak able to catch trent there
sees does connect but leech on this backstab
i've been now scooped up forsaken a bit of a riskier position pushing out balance takes it down Right. The cleanup comes to a G2.
11-1?
Every game is 1-1.
God.
Yeah, and this time around they're a little bit quicker to react after giving up.
The first one is the hardest though. They say that.
Completely cede the A site to them
And they just took a little longer than anticipated
We all agree the first one is the hardest
The first kill, the first round...
This is the hardest out of all of them.
If we can agree on that then we can agree
this is not going to be a comeback.
But I think even he This is not going to be a comeback. do in the second guys, bro
Hey guys we have a special surprise for you.
We have the whole Sosanto family right here in the venue.
Let's fucking go!
Aww!
That's a whole gang out. That is so cute! who's forsaken a PC shop or a LAN cafe many, many years ago.
That's where Forsaken and Xerath learned how to be pro gamers? Oh my god!
That is where they learned how to be pro gamers.
It runs in the family, right? And since
the whole family is here...
Did you get to spend time in Shanghai?
Did you get to spend time as a family?
We come support my son and Team Pepperegg.
She had that shit planned. She was ready.
No matter what team we're with she's ready to say that.
Yes, my son is on the ABC and what's he ask?
See it's a whole family affair right?
So right now the score is 11-2. Oh, see it's a whole family affair right?
So right now the score is 11 to one in favor of Paper Rex.
And I know that Ari you are a gamer yourself
so what is your assessment?
What does the analysis of the map
yes of course!
I think so far everybody agrees with that.
What about you Yanni? Do you have any words for Paperrex right now?
Fuck she didn't prepare the- Just say the thing! uh
oh my god Yeah! GO DOWN THE RANCH, FUCK IT! Let's get back to the game.
Oh my god...
Thank you very much-
Jason is like
He's like what the hell are they saying up there?
What in God's name are they saying?
That interview has taken quite a while.
Hey I'm sorry God's name or this name, that interview is taking quite a while. He had a face of disgust on that one.
He was like...
Good! They better not be guessing like that. Let's start off with the pistol.
It's all been over.
Yeah, I mean 11-1
Monumental
If G2 can get this done but it's gonna be really tricky This is a full round. Oh fuck. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. This is a 4-1 setup here for the side of paper racks. Got all your duelists and their shielded tilt over there on the A site. The Toxics are just lining. of course
excellent response some damage taken but widely g2 very much coming out a little bit of hope forsaken still creepy oh doesn't note him doesn't have to take him down the easiest one is the hardest one.
Now if Davai wins wins this no joke someone in chat's going bald
they're just aiming their way over towards eight so
that is gonna be the direction he starts. Valen will be coming down the stairs behind him,
can't find the shots, yeah.
Trent is going to take a hit on G2.
What is literally a must-win pistol
and it's up in the back at just some good patience you're telling me there's hope
and that's what i hate is the chance they absolutely needed off the rip here economy
gonna be in a good spot paper max of course it're gonna be respectful not seeing any kind of force ups here.
Fucking spray transfer with the ghost?
A very good opening volley from Leaf to just gun down three.
Tryna fast trap...
Oh shit, here we go again.
Oh he's waiting!
And there's that frustration starting to come through. You gave him more than one round?! What the fuck did you do?! Oh shit, here we go again. 11-2
You gave him more than one round? What the fuck did I tell you guys?
Couldn't even find one
Think is what he said there
Yeah, Alex's said there you know alex is this is bold
yeah
i don't even know what kind of slam
I'm not surprised
checking over towards ping, pop flash coming through there's the rush in person getting able to find one
What?
He's managing to find two
Okay
He'll take out the enemy Raze but now it is all on. A Stinger with six bullets left in the clip here.
Here onto the Prowler just trying to exit.
Dodges takes a little bit of damage there
on the exit.
For now, he's safe and is
in a potential position to do some additional damage.
Should be a pivot over
towards A4G. Are we trolling?
Who? What do you mean are we trolling? It's you mean, are we trolling?
It's 11-3, bro.
If an addict did it, G2 can do it too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah. Taken down two players falling there on the side of G2, but overall still in a very good position coming out of that anti-ego. It's great haunt
Just making sure that you've got something identified ten years later We're still bringing up Fnatic actually bro.
Just engraved in my brain.
They win bonus I still don't believe but
i'll be happy for them a lot of players might take their time
if you look around and paper x just says
oh my god.
The plot just gets worse and worse for them.
That's too much work to do. Okay. the corner up here
out wide here on the site smoke to cover for now playing on the narrowest of margins but
now it's going to dissipate doesn't have another one available
paranoia is at the right here wide ass swing he just yeah he was running about like dogs oh Still finds the shot. Still 2v2? Those that look pissed, they lost 3 rounds. They now get the 12
Piss they lost How fucking could we guys?
But they're just a little
off the mark and that costs you rounds
cause Jing is not gonna miss
Mindfreak now with the outlaw
Stinger They're legit angry paper x side yeah okay we'll just why is someone
in the chat arguing about pulls back up the ramp. In the meantime...
Spin kills?
Boysenrover comes back off some space here, taken in a main by G2
working their way up the ramp.
Getting ready to come in. Two players!
Oh god, how much damage you did?
Beijing immediately moving over looking to reinforce. Still does have that paint shell available to him.
Wow! Wait, Trank got that kill?
Getting the catch. The Jing now he knows this flank is going to be coming through so he just wants to see it. Oh.
Trent's kind of aware. Yeah.
Oh! Being very cautious turns back knows that they haven't seen this raise
2v2 on site
This is buying critical time here for g2
My trying to push forward spots one fault line. It takes quite a bit of damage here He gets that with 28 years taking jing dead it's all on the vine
to try and see if he can finish the map right here right now but it's a 1v2 at
the time not working towards him one bullet remaining
here in the clip
Does he will just have to pull back this will be g2's round they stay in the game
They stay in the map. Uh, he's trying to do as much damage as he can to them knows
The economic situation teams
David Let's try buddy. Let's try David!
Honestly they just need to get like as many reps as they can right now because they're not even warmed up by Field G2.
Yeah, let's get active.
Nice shot! Can't transfer in time. Trent with unbelievable awareness. I was watching on the map and I'm like, oh mindfreak's got an outlaw and he's creeping up behind Trent but Trent just starting to get an understanding of...
He's disgusted bro! He's disgusted how can we give four rounds to these
dogs starting to get into g2 screens that's a lot of damage
got some spam out he's knocked down 51. but that does not count as a slam bro pushing out into wait wait
viper now eliminated full send rotate aside from forsaken who's still going to be lingering back over towards
a trying to make sure that it's not gonna be any late alerts coming through g2 in the meantime
more than half and start taking space here on this b site
lark's still in from lethal,
and shots from something not gonna be connecting
Tracyn is able to get near that mine for he could be dead
Jhinq, smattering a damage dealt there
with his spectre looking for Achilles
but now he's between a rock and hard place
Up above ice he's swinging okay that's
can keep this going it is obviously going to be very good at one point no
room for air here as g12 right chat we all agree 12 8 is
when like we just start to have the conversation
for now anticipating paper racks the way
that they're reading them able diving down in mid early in the round have a good fast hit
not really give any opportunities for any of those utils or player swings to find any value there.
This Jhin with the one, and now you've got so many alts to work with. Yes, there's the Seekers from Forsaken...
But that's the only tool
big ultimate that Paperex has to work with
Some information gained just Trent though
and he's kind of been on his own
in mid., curious to see
if Pyrrex wants to rotate off
of that.
I think that jersey
off Pyrrex does not fuck with you?
I know they don't fuck with me. That's why I'm wearing the jersey, bro.
I'm trying to jersey, bro!
I'm trying to get on their good side.
Oh HELL no! Misreading? It's not reading? oh hell no knocked down to 20 or 70. misreading is able to come away without
elimination sink bite now center divide trying to slow down the approach here onto
the site seekers needing to be used by Forsaken
Trying to track these players. It's all leading the first round is just as hard as the last round now, that's not true What? What the fuck? What?! What?!
What?!
Yeah, this is fucked.
Good little familiar.
I'm not sure if you can see it but I think he's a bit of an idiot. My friend now occupying space here at back site.
30 seconds left.
Yeah, this is fucked.
Play it out patiently.
Finds the first!
They're seeking out in heaven!
Finding another!
Is that a loose?
One v two.
TP dodges out of the Rolling Thunder IC.
Oh no. No one reads my antiquity still. Ends up falling. TP, dodges out of the Rolling Thunder. Icy knowing that he's landing but
he still ends up falling.
Getting ready to come in with paranoia
Jonah Peek!
Damn, he held that shit down Don't Scary scary Time to use his tp but
g2 able to stabilize they're starting to wake up a little bit wait this out i'm a bit surprised
that we're continuing to leave something by himself in a corner here.
That's something that G2 is exploiting
they're sending at least two at him
to make sure he's dealt with
and every round here just gives G2 more and more confidence.
Certainly it's going to be tough to get the overtime, but
Going into the next map even
They're gonna be feeling like okay
We can go toe-to-toe with these aimers.
Watch, somehow it's going to be the fucking Thursday here
It's all in the star but it's been coming alive here
He just around and I'll take that
Checking forward here in the vent,
nothing going to be noted there.
Shipstopper and knives on the opposite side for PaperRex to see if those come into play.
They want to save those for
an actual full investment round.
They've completely left the A side open,
hoping that G2 will continue this mid contestion.
I feel that.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Got my one.
Trade it out!
Shit.
Alright.
We'll count that.
Icy as well tagged down to 5 HP.
Well nobody does that.
I mean bro you got it going at the end of the day dude.
In a rough position. Down to 20. You got it in one at the end of the day, dude. Oh shit, they're starting to whiff a little bit!
Space now taken here on the A site Yeah. He said, fuck it I'm ball?
You mean fucking we-ball?
Fuck it I'm ball?
What do you mean I'm ball you're the ball arriving in a slow swing but
the one tap of the guardian in play exactly yeah
is Oh my god, oh my god.
Pretty hard. Ooh. Oh my god. look at the challenge the tap on it the force phase taken
and johnny again the last one standing he keeps a minute
i mean they're giving them everything yeah
very enough for sure.
12-7? Wait do they have a chance actually?
This is crazy!
That's insane!
He really wanted that fucking kill. Absolutely stalwart. What the fuck are you doing?
The professor, doing a great job...
...on this map from being over just...
...a few rounds away now G2. That's what you need.
Five more just descended, G2. That's what you need. Five more just to send it to OT.
Multiple attempts at that point here thus far from PaperX with G2...
Goddammit! They really want me to take this off called from paper x alex looking to intervene looking to get split down and over with just how much more gas is in the tank here I just don't understand how this is transpired.
They kept the AWP out of something's hands until this round.
That's a huge piece
to the PaperRex puzzle, it feels like on this map
especially on the attacker side
there's a Viper spit for leaps so
if you can get to a position or you can get that plant down place them kind of
going up ramp all those three rams with that ability that paper is yeah I'm
something use ready for it.
They're kind of waiting for them to come up.
You got a lot here this looks like a fault line into a fast hit up ramp.
Something like that or maybe just a flasher.
Flashers are ready. Get ready to push forward trailblazer. Something like that, or maybe just a flash. Bro something scares me dude this guy is just like...
The cap on the wall is so cool. It's the kill
I see taking down a lot of the entry power now out of G tubes hands that's such as debate
Oh Now they got all in on me. Yeah.
Oh, this is insane.
He's gonna push it forward and then he swings the wall!
Oh my god.
Easily able to deal with it. Oh my god.
Oh no, and it's under his feet flower. Yeah. Clear out on the hot entry here.
Now have a site and now they have the pit leaves cutting off all access there through
screens of eye looking forward into that position, Find value from here,
trying to find their own win. PaperRex
feels nigh impossible.
That push is crazy!
Good luck. I mean, Devay's gonna try to push this. He might catch.
Woah!
Back into a 3v3. Push down...
Oh my god!
Bruh. What? Trent, last one standing.
He's got a few of them.
There was one man.
Time on his side quick little jiggle peek.
The double J is flying.
Double fly is up too.
That's the hurtful part about this game.
I'm not even going to say it's a good thing.
It's just that he's so good at it.
I don't know what else to say.
I think we're going to have to go back and watch the rest of the games.
We've been playing for like three weeks now. I mean, you can see how much time has passed since we started. Yeah. Yeah, they almost lined up too.
Damn...
That's the round they win? 4v3 in post-match?
Bro you think in the VOD review they're like Hell yeah yeah something that was a fucking sick push bro. Like that was all you.
That shit 100% works.
Very much is. That's just the first map we've got loaded.
You're the fuckin' man.
We'll see how G2 fare there when we come back with a break. You're the fucking man.
Dang...
People die. All I care about is people dying today.
If people are not dying, I'm gonna contact the boss.
You said if people aren't dying you're gonna contact the boss? Like this?
Something's a... variation of the beatbox
Oh I'm gonna call a tech pause!
Okay okay that makes more sense.
No, I know what sensitivity I perform best on. It's not the sense, bro. My mental is the problem.
If I had a better head on my shoulders, no joke, I'd be the best player in the world.
But shit. We take what we can. you
my battle I says NRG trailer where's the at RG trailer over here versus E3 here. Wait, what the fuck? Is this an interview? Is there an interview?
This is a video? Let's get to the end, the last two minutes.
Obviously we didn't make playoffs this week but we didn't
actually tackle the things that we needed to do
and I think that is just like a missing piece and you know no one's gonna be on the
tackling page or like chemistry-wise the same if
we're just all doing different things and thinking it's going to work obviously
we didn't make playoffs this split
so small goal has to be
to at least make the playoffs
definitely have
the potential to win
I know what it takes
to win
um
so yeah
definitely just want to win
I guess what's motivating me
is just the chance to qualify again for
a champs because having been
into every single one and
maintaining that streak is pretty
motivating.
Wanted like make sure
to get the guys there,
do it for energy.
We showed up with glimpses of
some good matches and then we got out on top of them. And then we had our first match in the tournament. It was really exciting. It was so much fun. It was great. It was awesome. It was amazing. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of we have glimpses of some good matches, and then we just
show really bad form in other ones.
Show people we can actually show up.
Why the fuck is a demon one cut out bald?
So that is the one and only goal right now.
It's not to make a Masters,
That's behind us.
It's not to win a couple matches.
You know we have to win all of our matches
To get to Champs. So definitely one map at a time,
one match at a time
but end goal is definitely win
champs again.
From what Jamie told me yesterday
that playing the next players in mocked it is still pretty up there
um i mean we might get salmon food on might
hey john i want to watch the interview

Because I low-key feel like
this was all you.
All your decisions. low key feel like this is all you,
all your decisions.
We might not-
Yeah, it's still very evident.
Yeah.
Maybe cold.
Masterclass.
Wait, that's it?
God, I don't want to watch it anymore.
Honestly, that's enough.

As many of you may have heard
the rumors are in fact true
Sam and I are joining NRG for Split 2
It's gonna be myself, ethan victor and crashes wait crashies is staying
because low key and i hate to be the guy to say it because no one else is going to say it
do whatever bro check coaching say it? Do whatever, bro.
Check coaching and
yeah we're excited to get started. We've
been practicing already. Signed
our contracts about a
bit ago.
There's a very tough decision
to step away from streaming for sure
because we both enjoyed doing it
For me, this is a very new thing
I've never actually done it before.
Well, Finesse,
you've been a streamer
for like 10 years.
We just need some consistency.
Congratulations on that
first map.
You mentioned that
you were a bit relieved
to be coming into Shanghai
with some more downtime
than usual especially since you weren't playing until
today this very day right? So how did PaperX spend their time off?
I mean we came to Shanghai. I think we spent a few days just trying to relax a little bit,
you know start of it, trying to relax a little bit, you know, start of it.
Trying to figure out
like how we can practice.
After that,
it was just
practice as per usual.
We tried to spend
like maybe
eight hours a day
practicing,
you know?
I think that's what
we did.
Paid off, I guess. i guess it does let's see if they
can close out the second map in terms of like a full-time job but i enjoyed it uh thank you
to all the fans thank you
to everybody that supported us throughout our journey streaming
hopefully you guys can support us competing as well
we did our polls on stream asking if you guys wanted us to compete
you guys it was overwhelmingly...
There's no way we're bringing up the polls that
we did on stream as the
deciding factor here.
Bro said we did a poll on our
stream and the people spoke in the favor of us competing. So here we are
Exactly though, so hope you guys can support us
Here we are
So yeah, basically everything that john said thank you guys for all the support until now um it's
been a blast but um we can't end on billy billy i can't end on billy billy we'll see
you guys in this server peace out buy that energy bundle that's it
that's all we get um for me this is very...
I mean, I guess we'll take it. Like fuck!
When do these matches start? Split 2? Isn't it starting right after the shit?
Wait, Disguised Toast comes out on Friday night? That should start split too. Isn't it starting right after this shit?
Wait, disguise toast comments on turtle troops. Make ascension and I draw my SCG team
inside the turtles troop.
Wait.
Don't let his team see this, no?
BLG tweet? Yosemite?
I got one more enemy?
Bro, wait.
Wait, the rematch against Billy Billy would go hard as fuck. uh I feel like Riot will be mad that...
Yeah.
That we know they banned it.
But I feel like, yeah,
I don't know.
I don't know.
The ban is crazy.
The ban is kind of crazy. I don't think we should do a poll right now
I already know what the answer's gonna be
can we take this out at some point
uh at some point. Is this the week one match?
Is this the Sent match, first day. That is the first match
Thursday.
Or second match
Thursday.
The first match
for Senna
versus NRG
this shit is so
fucking scripted.
Oh my god wait wait that's crazy that's crazy that's's fucked, no?
Their debut
versus our fucking bounce back?
Damn.
Oh fuck, I don't even know what to expect anymore.
It's kind of a that's kind of
a lit game though.
Damn.
PRX sweet!
Alright,
let me pull it up.. Damn, bro.
I kind of look like...
I feel like anyone could rock this jersey though.
It's just the colors, dude.
But I kind of look like
I've been wearing this jersey no See? They fuck with me.
They want seven in a row?
I changed my fucking pants! I changed my pants, bro.
The gamble's closing soon.
We got map two coming up. I'm zoning out.
Did I see Banks for his nadeshot? I was hoping you guys would keep that in the low. Don't bring it up, bro.
How do you get a read on this?
I don't know. I'm not sure how to answer that question Don't bring it up, bro.
How do you get a read on this team? Teams have been able to do it on this map in the past
Think about GenG
Right disassociate 100%
One of those maps that GenG was able to take away from prx and while they still are incredibly
strong on it there are weaknesses that can be exploited okay matthew's gonna be different
for sure i mean this is yeah look at paper x's comp. It's so good. They play some of the best of the best, it's so nice.
Oh yeah, this is what you were talking about, Breeze Sky?
Yeah.
It-it's this attacker side that gets it done like most of the world.
However...
Going up against Paper x they're they're tricky they love to isolate fights this is absolutely gorgeous
fantastic headshot coming across. Wait, what the
fuck happens?
Like that? Now things have very much slowed down
silence here. PaperX
do have a three-man stack over here towards A to hear
the prowler checking back right now. We really do need a dedicated Alex
cam, I wish i just had
the production capability of
panning to it. It is a bit
hard on the early part of the round to read off
killing something.
A lot of times it's going to be like Forsaken
or Devai backing him up, so you've got
to be worried about that. Something gives
it away over on this A site
and so therefore they've got enough info you know leaf's able to sit there behind
mound long enough doesn't get any other attention he says guys i'm pretty sure it is open let's make
a try and they read it correctly nicely done here by G2 to start this pistol.
Yeah, what a good load. comes in looks like starting to swing they're starting to watch for it but he's still taking out how much more damage can heat deal the double push coming through there able to flush him out but now
trade back as jing ends up falling mine freak finding john p
paranoia is not gonna be connecting but dorsal has
to be retapped 2v3 with ic tagged up double five actually to try yeah two five retake this
seaside for themselves.
All perfect made, yeah.
You two are about to do the funniest thing ever i think there's a chance of information that they're getting and putting the pieces together to know that they can
I think there's a chance. Lowkey, I could be fucking coping but
I could be coping. This is a huge win
I don't think something really anticipated that
he had already gotten to that side of the mound.
He kind of got caught
with his pants down a bit there, and
yeah... Ah shit, here we go
again. You and I are used to seeing that.
Common occurrence in the Senate?
For anybody who hasn't watched Paper Exit...
It could just be a replay at this point.
They've been here for awhile.
This is normal. You don't have to be concerned
and that's going to be a double kill coming through here for icy down to 20 hp but still
solid value found with that stinger two solid picks is jing still just sat back behind the box
just outside baby door frenzy in hand see what kind of damage he can really
deal something wanting them to push over towards him. Wow.
Oh, man!
He's heading through the box, gets a headshot,
gets some follow-up damage there on Forsaken setting up for
the easy kill for JonahP.
That's just gonna be an orb take here for something, see what kind of
damage he can deal but still a turret noting him that's fam bro
exactly where he's at dash up the ready as the plant will come through icy gonna be getting
himself just past the halfway point towards that showstopper it's so good from g2 they're so well coordinated
with pushing and pulling taking turns to trade
find the connection Oh Oh my god. Yo, yo chill! Oh fuck.
So fuck.
Come take me.
Phantom will be carried over.
Oh my God.
G2 we'll start off 2-0.
That was good.
Okay.
Something is gonna get his but this is just a great start.
Oh fuck?
For G2.
I love the way they're working that out.
What the fuck did G2 do?
Being really methodical.
Using those high pen...
I think Boostfield's the guy he's looking for.
He got the wrong team.
...all the things that you would want i mean yeah that's
pretty darn nasty something but it's clean with it yeah it's just really impressive for g2
i love the way they played these last couple rounds
It's good mid-rounding and then this round is just
Good coordinated play
Gonna suss out...
The message from Boostio is crazy
Sanchez said it was a message for Boostio.
He's sending a message through G2?
Yeah, swing out nothing spotted and then G2
Swing their way back in towards b he's retaking this space
wow big start headshot outlaw opening things up once again over here
towards c Outlaw opening things up once again over here towards C. Facing Swarm Grenade
Nano out just to try and clear some space
There's no real utility
you have to be worried about, not playing KJ on the opposite side
That's huge They're winning those battles against something over at Mound and that opens up the map so much more.
Makes it so much more difficult for PaperX...
Lightfreak on his own?
...to find any lurks or flanks, anything like that.
Don't dare walk out.
Thought about it.
I mean, Mirrex had fully bought into this C hit for the time being now the approach slowly creeping up over towards a mine freak
Setting out that paranoia now meeting the TP out to safety gets himself in towards back sight
safe for the moment, but approaches here on
The right catching him for the moment but approaches here on multiple fronts if he spots anything else out here One guy's saving, one guy is not. I don't know what's going on.
Okay.
They're playing great!
I love the way that they are working the map, taking their time a little bit at the beginning.
And again...
...and then isolating players and it's kind of bully their way through the Vi
Trying to do some damage on
the way out but fault line is set him up
hotline's set but it will be instantly traded
i guess you can't hold over that weapon just too just for shaking and jing
sat back no no i don't know i just don't
know how their mod reviews go i need to
i would love to sit in on that
what do they constitute as bad what do
they constitute is good yeah but this dude is good.
Yeah, I don't know.
I feel like they have to just promote their team and play hella confident
so they have to be promoting this type of plays
but then if you play confident and it's bad
is that okay?
like, it's like you make a bad play
but I was confident though. Oh okay, that's all good.
That's gotta be what they're thinking.
Wait, what the fuck? Is this stream fucking up?
Yeah it is, it is for me.
I keep refreshing because up with me.
Uh oh.
Fuck!
This guy's barely pushing along. behind here How did he get that kill? There's no way.
One more on the left, bro!
Oh my god.
They win the bonus and they lose the next round which should be arguably the easier one
Ops to re-challenge Rubble and pays the price
Yeah they got 5 Rebels in this shit? What's going on?
Breaching the omen makes it so difficult
hello so aware one gets a good flash for himself
that's got the stream is just breaking. Oh, yeah like there's someone downloading like
Burke
That's my first reaction when I used to lag
a happening ready That's so cucked.
Nah, that ass I'll be like... Oh good stun yeah. spotting Oh no. This would be a huge clutch if he wins this.
Yeah, this is going to be insane.
It's so close though I don't know if it was Spectre.
Oh, almost hit the movement!
Try to take his face. That actually looked like a really good shot though from g2
Like they dropped off contact and then
Otherworldly.
It's ethereal.
The way that he finds these openings and can recover so fast.
And then it's just so snappy almost gets a third
Then something had a very weak ICcy to deal with, but just the Guardian.
An opportunity for Icy potentially, but...
Very tricky situation.
The contrast!
Between how players are involved on stage and Alex...
I'm just thinking of Loki like,
I wonder if they can hear him yelling faintly in the back.
...being happy and cheerful?
Yeah, and Forsaken's like,
Jing you got three kills good job!
And Alex meanwhile, What?! king you got three kills good job
aggressive space take there from him does pull back
well it's going to be turned over towards B.
Get clear here on the prowler.
Just trying to check that forward corner make sure no one is going to be tucked away
Yeah G2 looking to see if they can maybe isolate a fight or set up a 2v1 against something.
Has to back out because of that haunt and they are going to try...
I had heard it mate!
He can glass C-mount?
Yeah, he ran away.
Oh wow, Payback so good!
Pro is actually clearing the corners?! that kill. Leaf's gonna be taken down.
Pro's actually clearing the corners?
Oh, me surprised.
He actually doesn't fall for the trap.
Pulls back into the site.
Final seeker gonna get cleared up. The Seekers just mega trolled all three of them went towards a shown a pee
Playing in something it has to be so annoying
okay 5v3
they keep peeking, they don't have a protocol
on the man advantage
spray I've definitely decided that. Shit... 10 seconds left! they have this 50-50 set up dubai not even needing the reinforcements not
needing the flag it's a second as trent does fall on out
just so momentum highly really like for both teams yeah just good
we're all playing here from paper wrecks
clearing that corner where leaf was hiding doing a really nice
job this time remembering problems that occurred previously
like this game is so momentum based. Actually.
...holding the line at the front of B.
Yep, just one and done I love that. Then they use a Hawk to check
don't get any confirmation on it
I mean something is gonna hit those shots
He's just
built like that. A bit different.
Bit different.
Posture check? I mean, it's
decent. It's like a 7 out of 10.
What a year he's been having.
Absolutely incredible. It's like a 7 out of 10. What a year he's been having. This is absolutely incredible.
It's like a 7 out of 10 to take those, no?
So so good for PaperX
for the last two years
but this year again
he's just been
actually wonderful.
And by the way you have a name on the back yeah that's Alex been absolutely wonderful forward space take care from the side of prx
it's just a util dump with everyone walking away completely unscathed
So I don't got an aim
Which event they gave us to be at.
Oh god, it's just a 5v5 on Mound!
Yeah......should have decent timing on the offense Yeah. I don't know what that is... Can he clutch it out?
It's gonna be stacked against him. Let me see how they play this.
Leaf playing that first contact, staring in towards stairs here.
Should he KJ ult?
Uh yeah, it's tough.
I wouldn't mind it.
I think-I think it would be good if he gets a good spot even if you think impossible
It wouldn't be bad if these did is we can before alerting my god
Look at us But it would be bad if he didn't do it and they lost. Yeah, now it's fucked. That's exactly what I was gonna say!
Here he goes...
Good sees really good.
Oh, he can even tap it now.
Bro's throwing the Bard at him. really good. I can't even tap it now.
Bro's throwing the barn at him.
Nooooooo!
Wow, easily.
Show that KJ ultton, bro. Unbelievable. Yeah.
I mean this is just a straight A duel on mouse
and G2 comes out ahead
with kind of an over-aggression
I think from Dubai there
for that last peek in a 2v1
but they give something up to JT. We're cleared. Is that 1v3?
We're cleared, we're cleared. I got scammed in the last one and we are cleared
I can play this out if you want or should i just skip that part
I got scammed in the last one we're good now
yeah look at the sounder now so he's able to isolate these fights dramatic effect and
and very aware of his situation in the timing that he has to push Trent through literally every piece of your All right, get your pods ready. Congratulations.
Winner winner chicken dinner around those three kills that got him into that position having advantage
was on his back quite close paper x now in the lead by round, leaf again. It's just his happy place.
I'm so surprised he can play good again
in the...the 8-beard?
Yeah well you couldn't save his power! out yeah as there's the aftershock We'll try to make things a little bit more difficult. Oh no! He's so fast!
It is so nice to watch
Oh my god nice to watch
they're absolutely unbelievable the speed at which Wow. Fuck
Bro, I just wanna point out that Jinx said I was like the NA Jhin
But I don't know if he was just saying that to be nice.
But I don't give a fuck, I'm taking that shit all the way.
He said that bro just near him switches to the shorty takes it down
so aware our paper wrecks and it's going to be a timeout for g2 as they looked so good getting that bonus achilles getting those first three rounds oh hey bro since then five in a row 45 times
this man's playing a solid game right now how does this point five 5 type shit.
How does this.5 Is that a trend? It's a trend right?
Like the.5
Looking down from the from the top down.
Building up that momentum here on Lotus once again.
Like, the photo?
Yeah.
Very scary.
What's a worse way to describe it?
Where is the word?
Is there terminology for this?
Like a photo?
Oh yeah, like the photo.
Like the.5 photo looking down head to toe?
You know what I'm saying?
I think I know what i'm saying
uh is this a trend or what do they call that it's like
what is it
is this for the memes?
It's just cute, it's just funny?
XD
XD, I'm Z
I think it's a little XD
Okay, it's an XD thing
How old are you?
I'm on unk status.
That showstopper was ridiculous.
Still no operator here in sight
Yeah, he didn't see me accidentally
And we said all these good things about him
Wait... good things about him i'm just trying to be hip with the kids and share but this I'm gonna be taking down a man advantage here for the side of paper.
And i'm just trying to be hip with the kids and shit But this fucking trends keep coming out day and night. I can't sit on tick-tock all day, bro
I mean they're watching bowery or i'm at the gym. It's very simple
I'm under the door of the approach getting ready to come through My the gym it's very simple What?
Oh, so close.
Nice shot.
Damn.
Is it seven? God damnit bro this costume changes it's good patience divide waiting expecting that aggressive push from valen try to gain a little bit of space able to cut that down
they trade one for one with leaf again they're reading those positions that leaf is
trying to talk into pretty well but he this time has a sheriff and then i just started vlogging
i just told you i watched the game and go to this. You want me to vlog that?
It's a blast pack right as he anticipates
that fade util coming.
He gets right over that seize,
gets in the back line
And they have no idea
They're gonna vlog me streaming
And it throws around completely awry for g2 this is things about the apari as
good as they played that round jing just played it better oh i got a fault line in my balance oh wow Something does who's playing attack here? Highlight reel of him doing the Yeah It's so good I should hear from Fallon on account of that. He's known for that shit, though. Yeah, that paranoia hits a lot of players.
It's so good, especially like high-pressure scenario.
Like the extra step to the wide swing is so good.
They try to push that angle.
Incredible.
Great read.
Yep.
Anticipating the aggressiveness in you and yeah, he doesn't like it. Fairly costly as well with Rolling Thunder.
I mean committed after two players that have already been taken down.
Yeah no you're right they gotta be able to tear him down.
There's no way!
I at least hit the mic.
Yeah, we're not playing Votus
We're just playing 3. Yeah, how's he doing?
Not just out in that season! I don't know. He just knows it is coming his way.
Just incredible. The senses he has.
It's like an ego thing right now who can hold on to a mount.
Unbelievable reaction time. By the way six out of seven cancelled out
Kind of like belated his dash a while. I think he thought he was safer than he was.
Wow! Nice.
Wow, nice!
Scout destroyed.
Scout was responsible for the reposition necessary there from Trent. I think they can go for exits? Actually, they can go for it.
Kind of.
Yeah, but he's pretty good.
Especially Jhin if he gets a kill or two.
Yeah, that's true.
But he has to be careful with the Q and A.
Yeah, that's's pretty good.
Especially Jhin if he gets like a kill or two that'd be huge get redraws for the next thing
This is hard now. Time is so low.
G2's having the same money, they should hunt. This kinda works out better for G2.
Yeah.
I don't know if anyone got Orm done, but he did though.
6x defense is good?
Yeah sure it is.
He's a good half for PRX though right?
I'm actually curious to see how
G2 play the defense against him
There's so much rush power
And paper X on attack I think it's a good rush power. Yeah, and then they slay around the corner They come to solo play
This should be
a pretty good half for BRX
Very nicely done by G2!
Got him my boy!
Oh my god!
Yeah, that was a good one. oh
just picking them out of the sky. Fire in the hole!
Now on the opposite side of the door,
The Showstopper is squirming forward here onto this B site
At the top of the door
I see Ted finds himself another elimination
And last one standing cannot make it happen! We are tied up at 6-6.
Yeah, six up.
After PaperX strung so many rounds together
were able to answer right back at the end
finally get their footing finally start working together well as a team
they don't seem happy about that changes again i don't even know how to read
their emotion anymore
i think he breathed some main i want to say right
like while jing is actually in? Yeah, I don't remember. I think their timing was off or maybe it's the timing or I don't know.
I didn't look at...
I think they're too distracted.
Yeah.
I think I just found the gap in their play
but i don't know how true that is yeah maybe i mean honestly i wanted to win this game extremely
bad not only to get us into playoffs but we had a berlin boot camp
back in december while back and heretics we scrimmed them quite a bit
it was not very i put him every day. Every day?
Uh, mostly. I play this every day.
I actually do- well, I usually play it around 2am everyday so here I am!
What are you doing?
Crossword?
Portal?
I keep my least favorite to my favorites, so I go from like Connections to Strands
To the mini and then end with Wartle because Wartle is my fav
Wait connections is your least favorite?
I fucking hate connections i have actual like if
i ever meet the person who makes connections like
i want to have a conversation with them all right i gotta talk
i think the people that create these games are so creative, right? Like that come up with the shit
That's a really nice answer
Yeah that's a really good positive way to answer that
But I fucking hate them
So... I'm usually happy if i get two out of four on connections
i okay the thing is i get four out of four connections and i'm still mad
oh okay we're not the same i set the bar very low for myself
do you do a big crossword i used to do the big crossword but you have to pay so then yeah
i think i do pay actually do you play it every day i play like 90 of the days i don't do
the big one every day though no i. I don't do the big one.
I do mini crossword.
Wait everything else is free?
Um...I think I was paying because I was doing it a while ago
and I think its $1 a month right?
I'm pretty sure its $1 a month.
Yeah it is.
I found out recently that I pay like 100 bucks for YouTube TV.
What?!
YouTube TV...
I think it just has like all the sports In there I'm not familiar playing against this comp. No, it's just our watcher in there.
NBA site.
A turret to alert here.
Now a triple push out of B main.
Nope, double back here.
This Valen is not going to be good.
Well, my chat told me about youtube tv and
i was like wait i have that i paid that much for it
still set up are they going to be ready for this crunch from behind
shots coming across the game and he can't confirm the kill
just like a minor amount of damage out there something noting one spawning out
icy back over here towards the spawn swings out wide balance
for sake it has to drop back right there himself Fuck, this server sucks!
Yeah Rob. Oh my god. one but it's really going to be noted for now he's just keeping icy pump back jump across the way that's gonna be valid collecting another one
is my freak dead ballad with three divine god of jesus
they will take the other pistol around here in this Wait, you might know this is good. Okay we're going to go to mine?
So your attack paper rex isn't going to change direction if they give up that space on a and they're just pushing so you're telling
me as fast as they can and they're hitting
some great shots they only killed three with five hp oh
your right hand five is 5 HP? Oh, you're right. He had 5 HP there.
Wow, he did it.
He had 5 HP on that.
Damn.
Oh my god! Wait, this angle is good at their shots. That's all there was to it. Oh my god!
Wait this angle is perfect with the players in front and him in the back.
Wait that camera shot is fucking beautiful.
Triple bulldog purchase here coming through from the side of G2 I feel like they just took turns entering and i'm gonna buffer.
Me too.
Okay what the fuck is going on?
What the fuck just happened?
I saw 8 different error messages.
Give it over to Mindfreak.
See if they can set their positions up with this Bucky, Do some more damage with it. Great seize!
Oh no...
This one is about to go down.
He's getting through here. Yeah, alright. long as you're about to go to town into the kill
It's not by internet bro, trust me I got the fastest internet out there.
... out by it. It's just so nice here from G2. You can see the confidence starting to flow for this G2 squad.
They have the IGL top
bragging curse right now.
Oh yeah, is Divine IG?
I don't even know who IG IGL is. Is it Divine?
Well, I think he's the guy that they say the IGL is but supposedly it's everybody which
I don't understand how that works.
Yeah, I don't know how that works either.
That doesn't curse huh?
Every time I see Bandy I top frag and C9. That was creepy. That doesn't curse huh?
Every time I see vanity, I top frag and C9.
No, vanity top frags don't even bother.
Yeah.
Wait, if you start saying Forsaken is down?
Change it!
It's Forsaken bro. You fucking know that! your head so it's clear we're seeking bro for sake and bros do not watch their games
what the are you talking about that hasn't been david for three months now
three days thanks to is wide free taking down
you're thinking gonna be scouted spreading away it's flying
oh no
he will shut him down g2 convert the bonus they move up now
yeah push waterfall one by one trying to win some of these battles, but the numbers
at the end for G2 is there.
And they're going to take another bonus.
Funny puns.
A little much here from PaperRex.
Kind of just... Yeah, getting too aggressive. I i agree time out's going to be six seven stop it
that was i got a costume i think i gotta cost them i gotta go see what's in there try to set
him up with the flash totally fine with that but after that you might as well
just lock them down and try to use that amazing choke point you have where the defenders have
to come through waterfall knock him down and again these opening picks from leaf he is so clean with those snipers has
been all tournament trend as well just really shutting down the yo divide just got on i just said the opening
yes well he's not necessarily wrong he is not wrong at all very solid early kill to be found there oh my goodness. Can they find that round of victory?
Looks like they're going to be forcing up a bit for
a full stinger by. Spoiler alert.
I mean, they're gonna try to do what G2 does to other teams.
Catch him with those stingers.
Oh my goodness!
So power weapon in the hands of G2.
No Odin just yet but...
Gonna be tricky now. Is it fine if he actually breaks his desk
see if they're just going to i mean realistically you'll probably get in a little bit of trouble i don't think they'll find him
but trouble. I don't think they'll find him. Maybe they will, I don't know.
But as bad as it sounds, I would love to see it happen.
I never clear this. I never clear this.
I never clear this.
He's going to win.
W, James.
Oh no!
Jinx went off of Razor Rocket too, he gets a kill.
Wait, at least we get SOT. Go Sot! It's being watched behind the box by leaf wait And leave able to find that kill I'm out there in such a dire position holler into the check
Spots up Making their positions known.
But G2 confident, they know that these players on the other side
are so very low especially with something taking
that damage.
12 HP remaining on him.
His legs suit this absolute sweat! He's got a lot of health left 12 hp remaining on him One enemy remains
And clutch
Awesome
Ooh Awesome. 7-7? Is it?
Fuck.
Alright, hold on, hold on... Okay. The Allen's positioning knocks two down and that's about it.
That's basically round over, I mean Gat can't open it up
I should have his shirt ready now
Trying to do what they can is something he gets too
And then he's able to dash away try to buy some time and space but never really You look very clean right now.
PaperX is struggling!
Get anything done on this attacker side the entire time. The rest of the team...
Guys, if Cringe re-hates her, he does.
Do they know that he has this?
Right now, his setup is watching in towards Tree.
They're trying to reinforce Jonah P's position here.
Oh! trying to reinforce your own peace position here. Four zero four, finish!
Door will full swing shot three tap on it
Trailblazer checking forward but not
Ohhhh the dog!
Rushing right into the spider's web.
Boy, I don't know who... They don't clear quarters just like me?
What the fuck?
Yeah, this guy doesn't clear the tree?
What the fuck, dude?
Sure if I got to catch on to both of them. Either way, slow down. What the fuck, dude? You just called that a baby door, checks close with that
Can you just call it a baby door? Yeah they call it baby door
What do you call it?
Hmm late
A little bit of damage from the paint shells I think baby door is so long, by the time i say baby door like three people died they'll be able to get themselves back on the board putting up their first
round
towards mind freaks lurk here by
Rubble. You can see they use the showstopper
and that's when he strikes.
Great patience, great timing, great coordination
from PaperRex
this time around they're able to get their feet planted
get the crossfire set up, get this post plant in their favor
find that lurk. That's so successful but now you got a couple big alts for G2
to consider.
Showstopper,
Nightfall... He turns around on them really quickly.
Rek's looking
for something a bit pacey here.
Something slowed up. Boombot checking forward, but Jonah still... Oh, when do they set off the shot? keep doing it these cheeky positions Wow.
I love that trap, that's so good.
Yeah these awesome defensive setups that g2 is using
or just completely fooling paper racks every time
there's a player in a different spot. JotaP can get so much info!
The paranoia is so good from Valon!
Just love what I'm seeing
From G2
They are SO on top of PaperRex
In terms of where their utils going to go,
where that util is going to be checking particularly divides you till how many times
I missed everything as well.
See a player and it costs paper.
This is some furry shit right?
And quarters in general right now very much working against PRA This is some furry shit, right? You're gonna sweat. Keep the hood up? There's no way I can keep the hood up.
I can't keep the hood up. for paper recs available at the moment, but that nightfall...
I can't keep the hood up.
...already online for Trent.
Lockdown not too far from Leaf.
It's going to be tough.
It's going to have to be
a little most in...
Four chickens on pie watch stop it come back
i've seen quite a few nutty ones but it would be a very impressive one for sure
four paper racks wait did not say we're doing Pywatch 500?
Shit.
I did not expect to be playing this map right now.
He's definitely thinking about it, right? Yeah. Taking A control and then pivoting towards B.
He's definitely thinking about it, right?
Yeah, I want to say every pro-ass he thinks about at this point is a friend.
And everytime there has been an answer from this G2 squad.
Let's see, Devayai is the Seekers
They're gonna pop him
and they're going to wait a little bit
They are looking for some attention
over towards Rebel
And DeVai on his own
with the spike a couple players coming out towards mid
double peek out for taking i mean because of stinger can't really challenge against this one
okay stop the aggression.
Dog and tree.
Push back A.
Push back A, go C.
Toe to feet!
Amazing.
Yeah.
I was surprised they were there too.
I only expected them to be so close.
Bad news bears bad news bears now she's gonna be back off space give it over g2 confident their retake here at a 5v3.
They're gonna be coming through the door,
couple different angles,
gonna be really tricky
for Saker trying to get ahead of it!
Oh no he's died!
I think he died.
Fuck
Well at least it's 500 for charity on his behalf from g2
they are just in complete control
1v2 we're having a look for. You know, they're not swinging together sometimes you're not trying to like in the first map
something peak there where he goes out first except that so well on attack
pieces and they have like a set game plan They set the pace so well on attack.
And they had like a set game plan,
which is strange because it wasn't their map pick.
And G2 were just not warm.
I feel like they weren't aggressive, you enough and then PRX is just notoriously aggressive?
Maybe they were playing for that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Maybe like G2 over thought it kind of thing?
I dunno. Yeah, like they're like oh they're gonna play aggressive because they're in PRX. over without it yeah but then they just
know too much facing the other thing
anything right here there's something I don't know. Giving them too much space and then it made it harder for them, yeah.
But here they're starting on the right side of their momentum?
Yeah, they need to switch off their gap in after the quick burst and aggress they need to like
adjust in mid round. Like actually fight it to space
I feel you gotta fight aggression with aggression
Yeah
But now they're doing really well
Like they play so- they're super proactive really well. They're super proactive now on defense, which is different than when we were on square.
That's true.
I'm going to do it after this round actually. Oh my god, they're good for charging.
What a weird Viper roll.
Big space I guess?
That spam! Yeah... yeah that spam yeah
with no flashes i would say it's a bit scary
but i guess they just dropped the lane
wait everyone's dead?
Wow.
Was that a kill?! How did he get out of there?
Oh, he won!
Wait, he won!
He won.
Wow.
Holy fuck.
Holy fuck.
Holy fuck.
Holy fuck.
That was awesome.
The PRX can hold onto their hopes.
Unbelievable. That was awesome.
That was awesome dude.
That was awesome. Crazy. Crazy stuff here from the beginning. But then something just barely crazy,
crazy stuff here from Jonah P.
He is really,
really feeling it right now.
Finally getting those blades
to do what he wants to on this map
there's a fair amount of paper x fans here nice sue
in the audience today
that was That was a perfect meme.
Whatever that was.
What? Oh my god god this is like...
I'm missing the round.
There's too many fucking alerts!
Now they're back to kinda taking their time
Okay. trying to find some of those open Now they're back to kind of taking their time. Scouting the map a little bit, trying
to find some of those open
areas.
He's been so good. A great flash
to clear that angle by PaperRex.
Now they're going to be able
to kind of work their way
through something
that's going to be the one
left behind this time
potentially try to cut off
these rotations.
That was weird how
SpiritRex still had money?
Aren't they on loss bonus
right now?
Well, SpiritRex won the round but they're on loss bonus right now? I'm hearing it's won the round, but...
They're on loss bonus.
5v5 post?
Yeah. No ults, really?
A lot of utility here for you too.
Paranoid, nade...
Double prowler?
What?! Wow what a nade!
He's KJ-1 that too, that's fucked.
Wait, that was the biggest kill you could've got.
Yeah.
Where's our planet? Is it safe?
I think it kind of is.
Oh yeah.
Oh shit! and leave finds himself a second kill something now dead swing forward divide my freaking answering back to my buddy another chair what why are they doing that yeah paper wrecks together Wait, what? That's crazy. Yeah, literally just all held the back round and got the kills.
Yeah I guess...
I thought that round was done.
I thought again!
We were going to buy great shots from Lee.
Had to be it right? angley takes a give wanna say, but even still
Jing so snappy.
And now you got a showstopper for Jing.
Now you've got an opportunity to do some damage
the economy here for both teams.
You've got through with that one? Yeah he popped off. Both teams.
We've got three with the owl?
Yeah, he popped off.
He needed some help there.
Forsaken.
Ready for the push.
G2 not going to give it to him here.
Trailblazer instantly cleared over by A.
Divided sending a popflash trying to make his exit, Leaf in the meantime swinging out wider here on the site seeking target. of them have light oh my god Oh, it's closed down.
Do you want to find Malon.
Fake news!... Nobody else to try to play off the door. It's just gonna be basically a full center waterfall
Tender Wow I was good. Wow. Still standing here alongside the five.
Okay, okay.
Three piece for the Rays paper racks and themselves also Okay, okay.
I think G2 have a bye but maybe
they go for half and get a really good one to last?
Let's see.
I think it would be smart if Jason from Persigyn was really good
And he was able to kind of clip two players with that breach fault line
and buy some space to get them those plants, but
the changeup from PaperRex that I'm liking
is they're not overpushing. They're starting to hold angles
they're starting to funnel players
of G2 into choke points and take them down.
They're doing a good job of accounting for the lurks that are being attempted by
G2, that time they tried to send two in towards B pillars but it's red at least by Forsaken.
And that causes the raft where they have to try
to go through waterfall G2 feels like if Forsaken is there
you know this flank probably won't get what we want to out of it so let's
just try for a ball retake sorts and doesn't work out because now paper X is
starting to really hold the line nicely once I get this spike plate down.
I can't tell what this song like makes me feel...
...like i'm doing.
Like, hold on a- I what was that? What theme?
From where I would hear it, rather.
They have to invest in a Guardian and an Outlaw.
That Outlaw for something could...
He knows they're going to be half-armed on the other side.
Exactly.
At least heavily suspects it.
They could buy all the way down for it but
with a weaker weaponry very much is expecting to be able to get some one taps here
and do they give them the time of day jonah p once again I see that. Wow, huge stun.
Wow!
That was a nice one.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job.
Nice job. Nice job. Nice job. There's a push into the smoke. Wow, he's done it.
And Pesky Viper now dealt with swing forward here onto
the side of I-Spotting One but icy!
Catching nice timing swings around the opposite
side. Headshot through.
That was a B? it's a good pivot but it's being read well by g2 tb forward
of utility exchanged here on the B site.
The king is going to be expiring, jayne taking some very aggressive space
He's only able to find one
Wait I don't think you should have
That was... that was a good hit
See? That was... that was the biggest. Actually...
Wait, they got him all dropped actually!
Could be it.
Top of the spike, some spray across
Swing out forsaken
Wow they actually...
Oh wow wow wow I didn't think the result was good, but I guess it was actually a 33. really starting to feel themselves they're waking up solid warm-up here
solid run back from g2 not allowed the crowd is not impressed all the way into
a final map to determine who's gonna be walking away victorious who should he stay in the upper bracket
i can't see without my glasses so one of them talking me do you let
me know what i don't i never see anyone cause my monitor is so high.
Oh no, I just want to know to smile.
Yo Nate, Jing just stood up.
That's the one guy I wouldn't believe.
Forsaken I can believe, Dabai I can...
Something and Jing are like too like... I've waited my whole career to get revenge on these guys bro
the emotions are gonna make me insane that's for sure i love it i love uh post-m match replays there I think G2 win the series
uh Do I think G2 win the series?
Shit. Map 3, I think anything's possible
Do PRX run Yoru on uh... no they do Raze Jett don't they? Or did they have a Yoru on uh no they do raise yet don't they or did they have a euro on uh one I love you, Harbor Brim.
What the fuck?
You guys play harbor brim on button
That's kinda wild Who is their initiator?
Sky has her initiator
and Gekko, wait double initiator
double controller no sensible
It's kind of wild.
I dodge in ranks for sure.
Wait, what? Do do do do do do
Wait
Did you play the wordles already?
No
I uh
I finished my strands and then I went to go play Spike Rush.
Wait, what was strands again?
It's a new one
that are in beta
right now.
It'll give you a theme
and then you just have to find words
It's basically
Oh wait no I played Shrek
Yeah yeah
Shrek is a little trickier
but I don't have enough experience in it Yeah. Sherez is a little trickier, I want to say.
But I don't have enough experience in it.
Sometimes if you don't know the theme then it's like...
It's doable
I think Wardle is the best
by far and the mini
the best
strands connections I just do
it because it's there yeah it's like my
dailies you know get the get the juices phone
yep i honestly have been noticing that my
memory is getting worse. Oh my gosh, shit.
Short-term or long-term?
Like...
I think the long-term's good.
Short-term, like all...
Like, I don't know, misplace something or just forget
something.
And I would say that's not generally
normal for me.
So like damn it's happening already.
Do you feel like it's because
you're on autopilot
or do you feel
like
maybe it's a little bit autopilot.
Maybe it's, like, autopilot
I feel like an autopilot.
Yeah,
honestly,
it's generally when I'm
I say I kind of
I'm stressed all the time
so if anything
I'm thinking about
a bunch of other stuff.
And it's easy to overlook something?
Yeah.
I feel that.
Yeah.
What's the solution?
Play more Valorant.
I don't know.
No, Valorant is not
the answer.
Valorant is definitely
not the answer.
Dude, I play Sudoku
every night
because it's supposed
to help with memory.
I also just like have fun it, but I'm like
maybe this will get something
cooking up there.
I love that you're trying to work on it.
Have we heard of
the Memory Palace?
No. I've been trying
to like when
something's really important you basically
wow okay how am I gonna
basically the memory palace is
The idea that you remember things by recalling them
mentally in a map of
A familiar place so for example
You oh god You just look it up bro
you remember something based off the the visual visualization
yeah you place it like in your room and then you keep
you know what i mean You always keep it there?
I don't know. I lost you.
No, it's really my fault
It's a game that you play to improve your memory?
No no no This is all...
Oh, this is like a theory.
This is a theory!
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You, you,
for example,
I need to remember
something from a test.
Then I would take those answers
and I would put them in my room
in my mind.
A memory process
is an imaginary location of your mind
where you can store pneumonic images the most common type
memory was making a journey through a place you know well so like you would recall it by like oh i well.
So like you would recall it by like, oh I need to recall
this thing. Okay, I'm going to go walk
through my room and in my room I'm going to place this
memory.
You know what I mean?
Yes,
I think I'm starting
to get it.
Eventually you have
memory places
where there's
a lot of memory.
Because it's basically
like just
you're combining
two things.
It's like um I don't know if it's like it's
like um it's i don't know
if it's the same thing is
it kind of like habit
stacking we were on the
same we're in the same book maybe not on the same book.
Maybe not on the same page.
You can store
the images. Hmm.
It's how...
Extra Emily remembered a shit ton of pi digits?
I remember Lubbock was telling me about that.
Did you see what extra Emily did with with the pie like she remembered one thousand
dude that's just a pie that is like so impressive i can't even believe that's possible yeah no that's possible.
Yeah, no,
that's absurd to me.
I actually don't think I could do that.
I don't think
I can do that either.
No, I don't know.
Maybe...
I don't know.
There's a strategy
to it apparently
like I don't know
exactly how it works. The memory palace yeah i think it does
time with the memory palace apparently wait actually you know that probably
does but it's like associating like creating stories and then putting those
stories into numbers.
Okay.
But even still,
I didn't really understand
how
you could possibly manage.
But I actually think it probably
is something like a memory palace,
so that every number is
associated with a place in whatever you choose
memory Taj Mahal
yeah and then
you have numbers for those places I guess
yeah like you just like places, I guess?
Yeah. Like, you just remember... I don't know. Pick something that's
obviously you know the back of your hand.
A lot of people... I think
a common reference is like your childhood bedroom.
Okay. And they would just place numbers, so like
okay, you walk into your room and right next to
your door is like three, and then after
that you walk, I don't know,
into your closet and that's one, and then
it's like a journey. Just label each
part
of it, but even
still, you still have to remember the
numbers for each- I guess so the numbers have to be
significant? Not necessarily.
No,
I think it's just like...
I think it's really
just the notion of
tying together
two things
that
I don't know
Uh-huh to that... I don't know.
Uh, uh-uh.
Some high tech shit going on.
Soham, what's your take on this?
What the fuck is this?
I'm cucked.
Yeah, I feel like I used to be good at the Wordles but now I feel like I used to be good at the wordles, but now I feel like I just get lost in the sauce. Hmm. Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. Nah.
This is not the answer, but I don't give a fuck.
No it's not.
We need to put something, bro.
Dude,
I looked at your chat and I just got
word of room for me.
I was looking at my chat too
as you said that. Are you shitting me? chat and I just got word of you
the right answer. Why are
you typing the answer?
On stream, I didn't read the answer
but it helped me out a lot
It's like
It's like
Principal guys
That's what I'm saying, guys
Go play your own
wordle come on guys.
Blaming the chat bro you've been stuck on this for 30 minutes? Bro! It's been 3 minutes, buddy!
Nah I was actually going to that word. Oh, but you know what happened honestly
I'm telling you guys
You I'm telling you guys. How are we backing this bear?
That's where we're cooking. looked so good on this map against team heretics 13 to six just absolutely destroyed
so certainly all eyes gonna be on g2 is they have a great opportunity to upset paper rec send them down to lowers and get themselves
Are you guys with that? 1.27
26.5
26.4
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Pushed out here off the rip and said there's gonna be showers, as mindfreak just backpedaling.
I see you taking some forward space here quick little jump peek something catching a glimpse but...
You all control?
They got an MD? Yeah. a glimpse but you all control these shots Oh, that's worse.
Pick elbow? I like it!
Oh, that's huge value yeah
also 50. heels not available from divine here in the pistol got a couple smokes though
is he at the quarter jade, yeah.
He was sitting in the wall, didn't they expect it?
Ooh, I of like it Wow. Good play. The wall claim, yeah.
He's so normal.
Yeah he got the kill in mini he killed them in the after race.
How did Wingman die no matter what?
I think he stays up even if Echo dies, right?
Yeah yeah, he stayed up.
Damn! I did not know that.
I couldn't do this without a suit.
Yeah definitely but I remember... well I haven't like played for a while definitely starting to get frustrated and i remember they
updated that there's some patch with something to do this was going to be all paper x all day
like staying on the bomb we're getting off fighting back yeah like dying
unfortunately i really don't know something about little guy he dies if
you can go down to somebody talking about coming into this series
saying yep we played against right now there definitely wasn't enough
africa yeah we played against right now there definitely wasn't enough
is man is like There goes the bomb. Now what? Oh my god. Something both tagged up, didn't really damage found.
Try to snap across it...
There's an improved tagging point at the bottom.
Molly got him?
Allen pushing his way forward into the site!
It'll neglect two kills.
Something will get one more as a parting gift but widely the weaponry gonna be carried
forward just grabbing up the bulldogs here let's g2 start things off 2-0 they bait out
the util really nicely.
Two all star for G2, my three?
Yeah it's looking good. It's looking real good for G2.
Chat!
We're out here thinking there is no way they win and they look at my
Even playing insanely players by the time. They were ready to make their execute
These two is really pushing through... The molly killed through the wall? It's a bug?
What should we do?
Not a bug though, it's a feature.
Jonah just gonna Not a bug though, it's a feature. Boom boppy go ahead and check forward, leaf clears that out Pain shells now to try to dissuade Yeah
Just gives up on trying to defend in lanes
Must be so fucking nice
Oh no they're going through shower hit flash after ready it's gonna be a delayed pop on that one but something still able to find
the first one i'm mind free getting involved kicks off trend
it's huge.
He smoked his Valon, gonna try to lurk his way forward.
Minesfreak is reading this.
Smokes down!
They're expecting another layer to this.
This is where the spike is at!
Just rotate back around towards...
He's got a wave.
...the team are able to open things up and mine crates just pull off the angle for a brief little moment.
Continues his heavy sights train over on showers. It's lost.
Could they take us alone or could we still be ready for this?
25 seconds remaining oh he did it nice wow we got the kills yeah that's a huge kill at the same time on the opposite side sleeve comes up with
that kill He did it! Oh my god.
I mean, that's not even that bad for G2
Yeah, he got the ult out as well
Oh my god
Yeah, what they're do a head-to-head with the game.
That means they got it not in a game that you're watching.
Through the teleporter and they need to maintain showers control.
And even though they end up losing it
and it looked like maybe this round was not going to go their way.
That ult bought enough time for De'Vai to come in and finish the round but...
But its also gone.
It was costly yes exactly Achilleos.
It was costly for PaperRax
Wow that...
That's a good one! something busy but pay shells locked in overwhelmed taken down Get out.
That's a big clap back here. Are they gonna be broken right after this? I wasn't finding that impact on the previous map.
So far, it's been very rocky start here for paper X and shot across.
Are you going to be taking?
Yes, of course.
The broken foster hug echo last time too.
Like the snake bite will last round too.
Wait what?
River shots! Oh shit! River stats. I'm dying.
Tard, tard...
Oh my god!
What's happening?
Round 4 and they had Bromo in the back. They're starting to build up here for G2 as they move up 3-1.
I mean you can see that...
Once again trying to take these individual fights one by one and G2 so happy
to let them do that, you know okay something goes for the the unexpected positioning there off the back of
the high tide fine that one's okay but then you keep trying oh my god That's how the room would run?
Oh, alright we'll count that. We'll count that as one
As one? Two?
There's two. Look at this, too.
At Darn Roomba! Figure out what you can do differently here.
That darn Roomba!
That pesky little thing.
Why'd you change your clothes? Cause they won 7 rounds in a row, and we gotta be true to ourselves
before we can be true to each other.
Now then... Rocky start in the early timeout call. Now that I grow so much hair so quickly, rosemary oil
changed my life. Just kidding, I don't use that.
Um...I dunno. What's good for hair growth?
What food can you eat to promote
hair growth?
I know carrots are good for your eyes...
Cucumbers are good for your soul, but what about your hair?
Coattails. Cool.
Cool.
... Right here. Push over, try to get those orbs online because they hand this over to Jonah Pete that would be the Seekers ready to go
They're gonna try to push this space and this isn't going to fool I don't think G2 at all
There's a push, there's a gimme a plan one tucks into the corner sends down i don't think g2 at all Here's a dunk for you. What? Oh, man.
He got it off quick then.
Yeah.
These TPs are... I mean, yeah.
I was going to go kind of desperate
but this is Zico.
Yeah. Yeah.
Shot.
So fucked.
They got the triangle set up.
...forcing him even further back within the confines of this prison.
Time is ticking
nothing more i can say in there other than the imagine forcing to buy once again but g2 they have no idea there's two people saying
that you ask they are not looking to move up he does
we will finally fall four to one honestly
it just I feel like the time is off for the TV's. There's just a time zone.
Yeah, they helped out Forsaken earlier or you guys helped out early on the other end?
They're not there for the initial fight with a TP.
Exactly, yeah. And it's slow.
They're missing the timing.
So what's the password?
Oh... So what's the password? And they're just so aware of all these trap plays, All these aggressive maneuvers that PaperX is trying to make.
Shutting it down so well as G2
Get the showstopper out of him
Picking up a judge sat over at hookah but it's a lot of attention made towards this a site here by gt once again just four players moving
forward i feel like you have a set plan for these rounds and they're just going into it and doing it yeah i just said execute oh good
yeah they're locked out yeah i'm pretty sure that they're gonna lock in there I think you should raise rocket when they When like yeah, when they look at ya
When they scout I guess
Oh and then dec load again yeah
Yeah that's big
It's good to go through you
In He's gonna go through you. Uh oh
Dude, rocket respect
Yeah I'm surprised
Ooh big kill
Wow That's the end of it.
Oh my god they get a connector.
Uh oh... PaperX is playing back, expecting these alts. But that gives enough space to get the draft right on a shower's internet onto you there, Frank!
And it's a good attempt by Forsaken to try and use the cove
To save him but it comes up just a half
second too late. Oh my god!
Oh my god that was loud
Alex
What the fuck we just gonna listen to jonah b's brain
complete opposites
like beethoven playing in his head.
Oh man!
Oh my god, they're so aggressive though it's like yeah
they are so on top of paper Rex
I love this you have a showstopper still or icy as well if things get dangerous
A chat here X here X what's happening? How are they doing this?
It was 11-1 first half of the first map.
We've come a long way from that first half I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah...
It was actually that one single half
where they just felt like they weren't warmed up
and now there's... They've been warm ever since.
Yeah.
Nothing else to be done.
It's going to be a flawless year from G2.
It would seem as... Yep,
Jenga unable to trade that one out. Dubai will
find one. So, flawless not obtained but
Dubai still take it down. Leaf narrowly
escaping the blast radius.
Oh god! 6-1 on the attack side from g2 already this
Is just it's still fun to watch though, and they've already forced out a timeout but it's kind of shocking
There's already been one taken So oh my god Kinda shocking.
Oh my god... Honestly, Pyrrha 2 and 7, mindfreak. 3 and 7, forsaken. 5 and 7 something...
Honestly, PRX should have had the managers sit next to Alex to calm him down.
No joke.
I feel like they need someone there with them.
Just pat him on the back is gonna be okay? But he's not gonna get it. someone there with him.
Just pat him on the back, it's gonna be okay.
I feel like
something was opping.
He gets so much based on both sides yeah i think it's
much needed adjustment right now too economy yeah this is the first time we had an office
half want to say right i think so i think so backing away think so. Damn, let's talk bro.
Yeah.
I see what he was going for, he was just peeking behind the Roomba.
Losing that much health at the beginning of the round
forces you to play a little bit more defensive usually.
Let's go over top quick clear, showstopper coming through
if he's taking anybody to catch does intercept Jonah P
as showers Icy one is trying to clear it and he has
a little bit of damage there onto himself but that's the kill he was looking for mind-freeking oh they hear him coming and they deal with it swiftly They're moving so fast right there. Yeah.
Wait, they're here?
Oh! Limits you all alone? down the opposing race, but there's still so many entrenched players.
Oh, limited UL all alone?
Picks off the bye.
Welcome to the bye world!
Still going to have to do some...
Very good.
...invested just to ensure success.
Wow, well done. Oh my god.
Oh my god.
7-1? We love Brazil!
The ultimating some value on the guns...
Okay cool, the geckos,
the breeze rocket.
Yeah it's like domino right now.
One after to the other.
You thinking mine yet Smiley? tricky they're so patient they have that showers angle they've got a couple of new things smiling somewhere I believe it's gonna be another timeout coming from paper X
We have seen this from Alex this year
But man, oh man. They're so
Corner they're ready
It's incredible he talking to his team or talking to himself
Like is he holding that as mic for that. Part of me really feels like he's talking to himself. and to get them into this position up by six rounds it is just gorgeous
i heard that uh they're reading paper racks in the past for teams it's been a struggle Very easy. Yeah, James and the Giant Peach.
I think there's something a little bit easier for sure.
This is not something that we are used to seeing whatsoever.
And it's just like every time that PaperX tries to make an aggressive move or something,
It's accounted for.
It's dodged.
What is that?
Five in a row?
Then they have their util ready to counter it.
The protocols that Mimi was talking about at the desk have been really, really good.
4G2.
I'll go back to the Paper X jersey if they
go seven in a row.
It has to start here for
Paper X.
Your economy's in the dumpster you're growing bulldogs half armors and you're losing all my money.
Oh my god!
MI2X is over? Oh my god.
They usually don't lose those fights.
Yeah.
They get in the cone?
It's the angle though
yes they're playing such a smart disciplined game right now
and they're very aware of the space that they've given up. Icy just gonna go creeping forward and clear that angle there for Trent.
They kinda cleared the flank a little bit, but not enough.
But they know exactly what space they surrendered.
They have three here. Best case scenario for P-Rex. exactly what space they've surrendered they know exactly where mine are that three years They wear something on.
He's trying to beat the rotation, but he's wrong. Yeah...he overcodes.
Oh no, Alice is gonna break something bro.
Alex's gonna break something when he sees the over right save.
Mindfreak has all of his story and went back to A?
Nah.
It's Alex cam now!
Fuck it, the round's over.
Hey we're not... Jimmy Xavier?! Okay, the round's over.
Hey we're not...
Jimmy Xavier?
Nice one for Vandal.
What the fuck are we doing?
What protocols do we have? They're trying to get his
Oh, he's screwed
There's no way
Yeah Oh wow. Yeah, it's just you...
ending a hole for the Shun too.
How is that so good?
I thought we would have fallen off way sooner than this!
It's crazy from you dude
they're just so clean, so aware right now
being so patient...
Getting you to allow-
They got singular!
They had four there!
And it's awesome to see that-
Oh no...
He's not even angry anymore
He's disappointed
That's bad
You just gave up?
Yeah Wait have they paused? angry anymore it's disappointed I think
I never wanted to run.
Yeah.
Probably why he was so defeated.
He can't even talk to his team anymore.
Yeah. defeated he can't even talk to this team anymore I feel like the team gave up too. Yeah, they look...
No joke, I was on stage and there were more things happening to this team.
They looked back at him and just see him facing him.
Push-up in the smoke, Icecy finds himself another. The music started interrupting
Demolition device further time
Divine mind freak
With everything to do, my friend just left divine dream
No... That's what you thought they had a chance.
I can't even get off the smoke, he's getting body blocked.
Alright, I'll put him back on.
Hold up. Hold up. for a little kill. G2, 9-1.
And they're doing to PaperRex
what PaperRex did to them on the first half
of Split right now. Just absolutely
rolling. I mean,
IC so good on the point not even
i would disagree with you there because in that
g2 were fighting back a lot of those rounds were close we saw how
inconsistent economy was from paper racks this is a complete and audacious
man like we're not seeing really any fight back from the side of prx no no you're absolutely right
i need to get a uh lip reader, like a professional lip reader.
Yeah just to see what Alex is saying every time.
I wanna know what they're saying all the time.
It's kinda disrespectful.
What are the catchers talking about?
Hey, what did he say?
I was like what?!
Everybody just backed around a corner and waited.
I had no idea.
I honestly didn't- I don't know.
Those blinds caught basically no one or two.
It feels like the gasses are winning.
I saved these last couple rounds.
Ugh.
I'm gonna go back to my base.
I'm going to go back to my base. I'm going to go back to my base. I'm going to go back to my base. Basically no one or two. It feels like the gasses are winning.
Living up to the name, what?
Wait they're gone hold on.
That is well at this point, no?
I mean i'm the same. I would try to secure team MVP here.
At least avoid Pyre. I would try to secure team MEP here.
At least avoid pie, Team MEP
Fucking just raise rocket for exit packs
Wait they're gonna 11 with Shubh's opportunity online.
And The Economy is gone again for PaperX, continuously on these ecos.
So he has to save this Vandal. So they can afford a little bit extra
coming into this final round of the half.
Golly!
Look at the way they play it, they just wait it out
and then just great repeeks from Icy
And then he's using his utils so well to just smother then just great repeats from Icy.
And he's using his util so well to
smother Mindfreak
in that corner.
Boombot into
Blast Pack,
just making it
so,
difficult for
their opponents.
G2 man...
They are
SO strong on this map
I mean they
They play the loser of the next match right?
Yeah.
WHAT?!
How am I gonna kill?!
Wait!
I thought that was a shurer and what are we gonna do? Holy shit.
I think it's the humps in the ground, Moki.
Yeah, fuck that all.
That has to be.
In case of damage. Fuck yeah. Yeah, that looked like two for sure.
Oh I think the wingman glitched again.
Oh yeah did he climb over?
Yeah no he definitely did. What backstab? Oh yeah, did he climb over it? They got him fixed out.
Yeah no, he definitely did.
It's so funny when they climbed over it.
Now they have to take spawn.
This is so hard ready for it to fall something does manage to find the headshot right back in parity but time is still getting
away from them they have to get themselves onto the site here if they want the second round. Mindfreak with one, trying to stay alive!
That's a run they win?
See now...
If they come back we can... G2 can claim the comeback on the win-man.
Going backside to pat him fucked up?
Yeah.
Because he couldn't have pushed them properly?
I like that. have an excuse for paper x but it's hard to imagine that
that's enough it's hard to imagine that two rounds is going to get them over the
line even as good as they can be on their attacker's side what's the bad thing that runs
how does oh i see like he's yeah damn it's like maybe it's not
like recognize it's not like seeing that the box is there i guess i don't know yeah throughout this
one so even though i'm just going to shows that's fighting from the side,
It's actually...
Backspin through the wall is fucked.
I think instead of unbind them
I've only seen it unbind like half and unbind
I think instead of you sending Wingman out
I think you should become Wingman
just run up there on your own
Your main guy is just chilling in the back
Yeah Your main guy is just chilling in the back, he's AFK.
That would actually be true. I think you should get a little gun that does like 4 damage per bullet.
Like a little minigun, throw it down and give him rocket launchers. the second map And the G2 is really heavy in my opinion.
Late round, he's winning every post!
I love that fact that he's feeling so comfortable and so confident
So many openers in so many rounds as you're seeing
So very well set up
I feel like also Trent is doing a great, great job.
But to me the biggest highlight has to go to Valen
Like the read that they have on them
how they're reacting to every single thing
That Papyrex is trying
Yes we are going to be attack now
but honestly mentally
How can papyreex still be here?
The one round they went for an aggressive play, G2 was ready,
tucked from the flash combo, then broke the Dizzy,
swung back in and dominated them.
G2 is playing incredible right now,
and their composition is great on defense.
Okay, Iso with the AirPods
swagged out.
The Paperex wants to throw at them.
If they want to make a comeback happen
and stay in the upper bracket, they want to make a comeback happen and stay in the upper
bracket, they need to make...
We don't know that bro. For all you
know, those letters could say Tarek.
In my head,
that's what I like to think.
And I just Absolutely. In my head, that's what I like to think. Let's see how this plays out send it back over to Seth.
And I've just been not acknowledging it.
Thank you very much.
Let's see if they can find that run back-
They don't, I'm Chinese we don't believe you.
That we were seeing from them on that first map They don't, I'm Chinese. We don't believe you.
Now it's not looking likely. Alright here we go time to...
The fuck? You guys are buying guns though? not quite in sync yet on this map or on the what the I'm excited to fight with the Gekaluck. No way!
Wait, everyone does his pistol now!
Yeah, I like this pistol. It's good.
They have four guys U-Haul.
This looks terrible.
Wait... it's gonna be a brawl
Oh my god
Dude this is insane
Yeah
Wait oh no We may as well be here yeah
what's happening?!
What the fuck?
I just...
Just taking rounds over.
This is the duelist
that Jesus has been talking about
that they have been
preparing us for, and now we are seeing him come alive.
There's confusion, anger...
Excitement, nervousness...
I'm surprised at Nate actually.
I thought he was back there, but no.
That's what he's thinking in his head!
He's trying to think how the fuck did that get me here?
It's on your head!
Oh my god.
Wait the Vibrew though, it's hard.
Flip across the opposite side of the map, don't look and try to intercept!
I ain't going through, I ain't going through!
Oh, good spam!
Well they actually made it through.
A 4v4 but HP in tatters... Oh, they actually made it through.
Mindfreak is so low though.
What a trade! Nice shot.
That was fast. able to come away with one Oh no!
Yeah.
No way. Imagine?
No way, dude.
No way PaperX pulled off a comeback on the top again.
We said no way GG could bring it back after 11-1.
Yeah, all bets are off.
This probably swings their way.
Almost certainly.
Yeah, I mean...
Wait, that fucking orb hit him in the head!
I think he missed.
Oh we did, yeah.
He's supposed to go top truck and he's supposed to land in the top truck right?
Yeah, makes sense.
Two things landed on his head there.
Let's see about a readjustment there.
The little mouse pad is too cute.
You can see here, even with the full purchase
everything being invested weaponry it's still going
to be a little bit weak on the opposite side here
g2 two sheriffs otherwise classics
nothing confirmed for take here for jing to try to get the showstopper online quick
bounce on the paint shells check close he's gonna enter all the way around in towards elbow oh just
hold tonopi at bay plant now going to be coming through look at the lurk a long road this is job Cool.
He just jumps like that? Yeah, he is.
Got his bike! tricky The fun gonna look to just sit back go down to the spot we're probably chasing it yeah
the fun these are down something is going to give them an opportunity for it
that's the right side before but he set up here for him yeah to try to clear out is it Angel said No matter what I think things one all for sure
Yeah, he is
Bible collected three players left alive and for a good action for them and for saying they didn't die despite fighting against question marking don't pre-fire the question marks please disrespectful oh my god
something about their attack paper off. I mean respect.
Yeah fuck it at this point there's no pauses left anyway you can't yell that.
Play your game bro.
Take the lights out here for Paper paper racks and yet now you've got
the op, you've got the thrash
for something. Trent also has his
thrash. Economy a little bit
wonky. Question marking why they didn't
that to this point I thought there were pros okay fair play
to make sure they can afford this operator for something he's just going
to try to maintain long control but already very wise to it. It feels like
RG2. Playing back, not wanting to give him the opportunity
They know that he's very much one to pick this up. Trailblazer to go ahead and try
to scout out. He try to stay tucked away but
just get spotted i'm the op now confirmed push forward underneath
heard anything it just for forward ends up falling
you can smoke soon just cutting over here towards long oh kills oh my god oh my god what is happening wow yeah a little well now they're starting to be
yeah a little more coordinated they're starting to win some of those early
battles too Yeah, they were worried about that.
Cause last time, Muffet just had to slow down split
and pick you up Oh he fell off the box
Yeah, they got baited by Jiggler a lot before
Feels like there's much hope for Legoside They have jiggled a lot before.
Maybe that's the counter to just buy the off and then play super scared
Buy the off, kill them jiggling, they always jiggle.
That's your entire anti-strike for this series.
I mean if Pinkfix makes those comebacks then everyone knows that'd be G2.
Yeah.
We're gonna see if they can catch G2. Yeah. Guys, can you contain yourselves or nah?
Nice job. contain yourselves or not? I know, right.
You're kidding me.
Not the fucking eco. Any he has deckholds?
Yeah I think he's using a full surely. Or maybe...
Ohhhh
He didn't spot him
Yeah I thought he would walk up on you
Oh yeah there we go See this bottom there. I thought it would walk up on their yeah We are dangerous on that jiggle for taking down noting it but still where we are bro
yeah he should no it's hindsight but maybe it would have been better to harbor with them
look at the try to challenge Denver mode.
Oh, 1v2! Oh no!
Mindfreak is eating all the ults
in his lane. He's gonna get ults in twice.
Yeah...
It's so fucked bro, it's so hard
Did he?
8 seconds, 8 seconds bro you don't have time but it's a rotate over in the shower Oh, no. He hasn't had it yet!
Oh my god... Oh my god...
Oh my god...
There we go! get themselves up to match point oh my god
yes it's looking really good for the side of G2 and this double here. This round was crazy!
Yeah
Double with the standard gecko 2v3
He's watching the
that angle is crazy
someone needs to make that intoum me. Every time they touch him, it makes such a good reaction.
When they were up 11-1 he was mad!
Yeah, it's more than surprising.
Damn...
The guy forward here onto the site, something trying to lead the charge, slamming with a
headshot, manages to find and displace the enemy!
Oh, a trade.
Junkrat on everyone!
Hey, Bowery!
I see not getting that kill but draws down!
Wow, he won the trades, I didn't even notice.
He picks up Mind Freak and now it is divine!
Damn, what an amazing play by Junkrat. That was so good. That was really good. Wow, I didn't even notice.
Damn G2 what a dominant!
Yeah what the fuck is going on? How are you supposed to predict these games?
My pickings are done that's it. I'm not even gonna look anymore.
It ain't time to look up the point
of these games. It's only now.
My G2 looked good from the Americans?
Matches are different, but they look even better
I mean Oli and both Americans seem like they're even better
Does G2 look better sorry?ai. Does G2 look better, sorry?
I think G2 looks better than they did
in the first half.
It's only than first half comparing their regular season to like
balance immediately and now it's going in
to this squad fine winning on the angle
now just has to go for the plant
Paint shell, Mali
He's down to 45
Everything in the kitchen sink
Wait this could be the start though for Paper racks hold on make his task impossible yeah the shots
are found and g2 get their win 13-5 they keep themselves in the upper bracket.
They say to PaperX, you know what? Please! You picked us!
I love this! Yeah, that was not bad.
There's no predicting these games.
After a rough first map map able to bounce back and look how is eddie still
usually as a region falls off like
after like you know but like our it's our game for real
and this g2 team what do i mean bro they're up 11-1 when i was here buddy whoever showed up for the loss you're
the problem buddy first bloods in total and it's all good maybe they're not out.
Maybe a little wake up call?
Yeah... maybe first match jitters
I mean shit it wasn't first match jitter that's for damn sure
Who are these guys?! performance from g2 It's a bad look for me, G2 playing insane.
I didn't believe... you know?
Now they might win the whole thing! No don't jump to conclusions like me.
...when they could counter with utility of their own. All these things were so good once they got fast split.
They felt so in control and the awareness.
The comms are so good.
Are they about to win Shanghai?
Honestly, we're looking...
We're looking too good bro!
100 deep shit on foot
G2 beat Paperrex
Sentinels are practicing as we speak,
the region's thriving!
Are you going Shanghai?
I'm not going to Shanghai unfortunately.
I brought Shanghai to my room!
The decorations, you see?
All the red and dragons and men...
You haven't seen my decorations yet?
We put a lot of blood sweat
and tears into this. Oh, this is cute!
We got the dragon over here
I don't know what- I think that's a dragon back there too
you gotta fucking know who who did it not you apparently i was more administrative side
i was more management on this project. That actually looks great.
Yeah, they... I mean we killed it
not they.
Right.
Hello everyone, welcome to the
third round of the tournament.
Congratulations G2 for winning
this game. We also invited Jonathan I won't take all the credit.
That's a lion, not a dragon?
That's what I said. I love that. I love how she does that. She always does that. Me too, it says. Would you like to say hi to our audience first?
I love that! I love how she does that! She always does that!
She always says hi to the audience!
Say hi to the audience! Come see her head and say hi to the audience buddy!
Very happy match Say hi to the audience, buddy. Bro! She's not interested in you bro!
Move along!
They are too down bad. The preparation was more or less anti-strat and just preparing ourselves to fight people...
The classic answer, play your own game. preparing ourselves to, you know, fight people.
The classic answer is play your own game.
Every round.
So yeah we just had to make a few setups
to adjust their play style and it worked out
except for the first map.
Okay maybe not quite. we appreciate them warming us up for the next two.
That's my professor he turned up.
He turned up!
... Because when facing a team with relatively strong Dota style,
the setting of these teams will be reduced.
For today's first map,
he thinks that they played very well.
He has raised an extremely high praise for them.
But maybe it is more like a warm-up to them. After the warm up, there may also be a good result Wow. Wow! We really want to know what changes they've made
so that they can reach such a high level
and have such good strength.
So you had like a miracle round leading up to Master Shanghai
after settling from the beginning of save safe one I don't mind it
what was the shift you all made leading up to now and making it here to this event uh
i said the biggest shift for us was just confidence, mentality and
just staying positive even when we're getting
drugs for sure. Especially today like
there's no way they could have got this good in that short amount of time
We were down. We lost the first map
11-1 first the first half.
We would be mentally boomed,
so it's just a difference from that to now is incredible.
How did you know?
That's the reason why we can pull off these wins.
I've heard.
It was like T1 and now this.
He said for them, they are more confident in their changes
and their mentality is more stable
especially with today's game
In the first map They had a huge advantage of 11-1 If I was a translator, I would 100% throw in my own toss into the answer.
And if didn't understand what they said,
I would just answer for myself.
Finally, today we have such a wonderful match foreign I love when they have no idea what they're seeing and they're just nodding.
I'm just like, holy shit!
Love that.
Alright, I'm too tired to watch the next match.
Oh okay, I guess we just fucking... Okay yeah fuck me hell yeah.
Hopefully the next match is insane.
I hope it's in me. I'm rooting for EG hopefully.
In my sleep I'll be rooting for them
yeah yeah good sleep bro i'm not tired
fuck yeah
all right take it easy all right later
curry
yeah on that note oh yeah oh yeah it's
always the first person
that opens up that door
and then everyone fucking tries to sneak out.
It's like at a party actually.
No, no, no.
I was actually going to leave first.
I was just waiting for him
to finish his interview
but well...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I gotta go pack, man!
I haven't packed
and I leave in less than 24 hours.
Where are you going?
Taiwan!
And then Shanghai.
Oh, interesting.
You gotta watch Valorant
which apparently
you're not doing
so that's crazy
but
no, that's great that you guys are there
because now I can just say yeah
like I wasn't there but
OTV is out there. So
it's like not the same thing
but it's close enough. Dude, we're always there.
You know what's crazy?
You guys were not in Madrid.
Okay, I wasn't always there. But a majority of the time,
I'm there!
Same, that's what
I say too.
No?
Wait, you use
the no as well?
Dude!
Okay, my comedian
was telling me about
that they're like
every Valorant player says
Your mic's gone. Hello?
Oh, hello?
Yeah, every Valorant player says
Says something, something
No, and I'm like no they don't
yeah that is a thing for sure and yeah it's true it's picked up fast though
yeah maybe no you could add it to anything
no kind of crazy that you're leaving it to anything no?
kind of crazy that
you're leaving after he leaves
no?
dude I was gonna leave
anyways
no?
maybe
no?
anyways I can't believe you're not going.
I know it's kind of lame.
Dude, I wasn't gonna go and then Sydney was like no we're not going.
And then you found out that I'm not going so you were like fuck we should go.
Sydney was like yeah we should go. So he was like, yeah, and we're gonna
go out to the club. It'll be super
fun. We'll get to see Tarek. We're gonna all
go out to the club. I was like, yeah, you're right.
That's fine.
I guess it's not fucking going.
No.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think Cindy likes you.
I would take it up with her for sure.
Yeah?
No?
Probably.
Okay. Thanks. Yeah. No? Probably. Alright, thanks for coming, Jodi.
Peace, dude. Thanks for having me.
Bye!
Alright.
And there was one left.
One lone soldier w jody quarter jade w curry it was a fun watch party even thoughX... I wouldn't say they got smoked but
They
surprisingly lost.
They surprisingly lost. I think in map three they kind of got smoked right we can
say we can say so and definitely a shocker.
But shit happens dude, it's all good they're not eliminated.
We live to see another day.
We live to see another day!
MiniBoo wants to watch the party? Of course he does! Come in Discord, bro. Let's fucking get it. Let's break it down.
Let's break it down BooBro What do you mean, one?
We're here with you little bro.
That's true.
Skip! Wait, let me look at my pick'ems. Hold on.
Let me see if I'm cooking.
Nah, this is your guys' fault, bro!
If I did my original pick'ems
I would've still got these matches wrong.
I think I had Paper rex winning in every iteration
i know joke had 15 iterations of these pickems and in
every single iteration i had you two losing
hello you want to watch today? Who's that?
Me, bro.
I'm fucking with you, bro.
Yes,
I would love to watch.
Okay. Bro, it's a big day for the kids huh edg are about to smoke them no
fucking hell oh my god previous two teams
thought the same from China.
Yeah but Heretics?
I heard some rumors bro.
Rumors have been circulating.
What rumors?
You didn't hear?
I won't bring that up.
I'm making that up, man.
He's gonna freak out.
Never mind, bro.
It'll get to you when it gets to you.
But all he did was say no?
Yeah, what the fuck was that Yeah what the fuck was that?
I thought they were done when they...
After map 1 right?
They were like 0-11 I think.
Yeah, I was rooting for a 13 straight up, I'll say it.
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck...
I don't know how the fuck G2 did this.
But Paper X...
I think Alex being on the stage
might be the worst thing to happen to them
because now they can see him visually mad.
Before it was just audio,
Now it's a combination of everything.
Their sensory inputs are all fucked up.
They see him,
They hear him,
They fucking...
Maybe they can even smell him,
I don't know.
The thing that I like maybe they can even smell him I don't know do you think
that are like worried
I think Alex is stressing them out and they can't play
they can't shoot straight with him behind them. All right.
Should we...
Should we do something while we wait? Or nah.
What the fuck are these stats from VCT China?
Wait, I need to restart my PC one sec. so.... Who won PRX or G2?
Whoa.
Asking my brain or my heart?
Because then both G2 won. Yo, I'm back.
Welcome back.
What's been new?
I just went to the party, like you know when you finish school
Like there is last bell or something
Prom?
Not prom but it's like your last bell.
I know last lesson, I don't how to say it.
Last dance type shit? What do they call that?
Like a...
The final hurrah!
Like that?
Yeah,
yeah,
that,
okay.
How was it?
I mean,
it was,
you know,
I haven't been to school
like in a half year,
you know.
Are you guys getting fucked up there?
Is it a drinking age 18 plus?
Drinking
yeah but you cannot buy alcohol since
like you're 20. So you can't buy it
until you're 20 but you can drink it if you're 18?
Yes.
That's stupid.
And today after heretics game I'm going to a little party.
Heretic's after-party? No no no. you know I'm going to a little party heretics after
party
no no
like my school
after party
oh I see
I see
after the
heretics game
in many
different countries
but this is
the first time
that we're
gonna be doing
this having a huge international tournament in your home region so how
does it feel before you guys ask
before you guys ask he's answering in Chinese
so that the Chinese viewers can
get an answer as well
Pretty sure CanCan English is good enough at this point.
Because it's the first time that
the first international tournament
held in our home region.
And I feel like there are so many players
from different regions will come to Shanghai,
so it feels really different and exciting
about it.
I'm super excited to see you guys play.
But of course, you've also played in front of many fans.
Different fans, European fans, American fans...
So tell me what are the fans here going to be like?
Are they gonna cheer for other teams too outside of CN?
Some Chinese fans support their own players in the region. is They are very personal and willing to express themselves.
I can feel that because we know
the audience of VCTCN,
they were always there when we played in the VCTCN league vctc and the nation guangzhou thomas at times i may so woman that basically
inside cnn says a lot of weight
hooded honda's social
appreciate it
one who said how fucking
attention to each other because you know the fans from just how i fucking tell you the session
because you know the fans from china we can sign too not only just cheering for the vct of teams from wcst league they also have their um like their favorite teams
from others or prx and other teams of course the world cheering for all
of them and because we play in visit, and we can always feel their enthusiasm,
feel their passion on the stage.
So of course,
we will cheer for them.
If you play Paper Rake so often at it
that's going to be really interesting
to see who they cheer for.
Now, lastly, we've seen many
different versions of Kangkang in the past.
You know, even your hair, it changes
very often from tournaments. Sometimes
you obb, sometimes you play rifle, sometimes, sometimes you know you play agents we don't
expect you so what kind of conga are we going to see in this tournament what can we expect from you
i I think the fight in the horse is a bit more intense.
Because my hair looks better after it's long,
but when I cut my hair short...
Actually, there are two personalities.
After cutting my hair,
another personality appears
which is more arrogant and arrogant.
It's also good to experience I think it's a like that. Actually, I want to have a new starting point in Shanghai.
It feels like when I was in Western Madrid
my hair was longer
but it's two different personalities of me
at the time my hair is longer maybe i looks
like not that outgoing but we now i change
i cut my hair with different hairstyle now seems like
I'm more outgoing, more wild. So maybe some people will see that
I come here.
If I want to go back
to Master Tokyo,
I want to find Omi,
I want to say it's no,
it's not like that.
I just want a new start in this master shanghai oh my god Fuck, W interview? That's the same excuse that I give myself as well.
You know, that's why I have no hair.
It's because I want a new start.
EZG's jersey watching the mini boom?
He won't mind. He's cool. yes
interview with kung-kung i feel like he's just so cool he's just dropping some heat
bro he's just so cool. You should drop us some heat, bro. He's just so cool.
Drop me the heat.
Like, the answers he gives...
This guy has been to so many of these events
going all the way back.
The streak started at Champs Istanbul in 2022
and they have come time and again to these international tournaments It champs Istanbul in 2022.
And they have come time and again to these international stages
and lost to international teams, but now they're at home.
This is their chance to really show who they are
Show who the chinese region is
when we saw him take Thanks, I guess. Wait... were particularly expecting given that you know miniboo is on the team and so on and so forth but now stepping in to that primary
heard this role kukuka we are getting
no i got this off of Teemu.
It's not even real though.
What?! You know Teemo?
Yeah.
Like lolchamp?
Teemo or not teemo?
No, it's like
It's like a marketplace
where you can buy
high end jewelry
bags, makeup basically jewelry, bags makeup
basically but the EDG jersey
I got it from there and
it's not a one of one
It's like it's not an authentic version
of it so it's basically like it's not the same thing you know
it's like cheap version of edg yeah kind of like that yeah okay so it's not the same no
well i prefer not to answer that question we could talk to my agent if you'd like
Okay
Do you like my outfit on the stream?
Let me see.
Holy fuck! You are looking dapper, my boy. Bro, I'm like a coach no?
Bro how many dates you got today?
God damn!
Oh my god bro.
I like that out of you. Very professional.
Okay thank you. Wait okay thank you wait
wait do you want to see uh like a bottom
part what is it
like a bottom part of yeah yeah show me
the button part.
What the fuck?
The fuck are those?
Those are like pants when you go swimming.
That's for swimming shorts?
You're not wearing that later are you?
No.
Okay.
It's just very fucking hot in my house so I have to...
Just checking bro, I thought I'd ask.
Okay.
Yeah! He's alright, he'll be fine
Yeah I mean this is the tweet right here as a matter of fact
You're on stream bro
What? You're on the stream
He knows exactly what the team needs and the team needs more Woot in their life. I'm like that just like his name.
They do but there's still a lot to prove.
I think a lot of their games have been very defined by In...
Does he need to prove it as a duelist?
No, absolutely not. He's proving it game after game.
And after the FPX game I said yeah you can.
He asked you seriously?
No no it was just like a joke.
That's what you think bro.
I mean you never know maybe he'll play from now on keep them guessing
keep them guessing that could go on like a dark course runner yeah exactly after the result that
we had on the first match only hunter thieves from the first seats has managed to win their first There you go.
That's crazy!
By the way, 100 thieves looks so good.
I have them as one of the favorites
Yeah they looked really fucking good I though Flood was gonna win actually
Hey i'm here right now with Team Heretics
Now last week we saw you debut as duelist and you did amazing I'm so wrong that i'm really excited
to play against kang kong but i think it's good chance to prove myself and i will prove
myself in the game well good luck we're excited he's excited to see this guy's all business brother
He's all busy the response
Very happy to go up against him.
I'm ready.
My boy's cold-blooded out there, man.
He's training this guy!
When I was his age,
I mean,
I was way more pimply and did not have the confidence he had.
Oh my god!
Wait, oh my god, I forgot to say
Zion Tika just gifted fucking
50 more subs.
Bro, I was totally kidding about that. That was like a prank.
I'm more than appreciative
of these gifted subs.
I didn't... I was not trying to downplay
your 20 gifted but I do want
to point out the fact that it did work out and you did end up gifting 50 more.
So, shit maybe it wasn't a prank.
We appreciate your 50 gifted though. That's for damn sure buddy!
We appreciate your 50 gifted.
I just think its's so impressive that these guys are So young and this team is so well put together
That they don't look shaken at all against these great teams on a big stage
But i do think today is a big test
Against our home crowd against cdg
but they've also done this a few times right they've been in who's we don't get anything
bro 50 just got saved from the depths bro no ads nothing dude they're chilling
with the boys now sub chat everything opponents and you know we don't get anything still manage to
rise to the occasion when the, when the moment calls for a
cuckoo guy.
I think like that is the thing
about this team.
Easy dodge is a fire emote.
Easy dodge is a fire emote.
Especially with Mini Boo not
being here,
but what we got as a team
that knows how they want
to play with the pieces that they have right now yeah exactly
but time at the time they've also been under a lot of I have to say, you know? Of course. It's just the matches that they were given.
But time after time,
they've also been under a lot of pressure.
I think that playing an opponent like FPX when you add in that crowd factor
is what could have set the tone.
Guys, from now on,
when you're getting ads,
instead of saying, ad spam keck w so the people
think they're missing something in the cn region we see a lot of things i think especially in
the way they call their attacking sides most dude? Really slow like 4-1
Like there were 3-1-1 defaults
And just late round going into hard hits
And that's really similar to how FPS
I think they're missing some shit. They are in sub probably
You see more variety or regardless of the benefits Sometimes and you see less of a silly round They're more likely to, at least.
Sell it though!
Make sure, baby.
Be like, that was hilarious.
I can't believe that happened. Sell it.
Sell it. Wow! Did you
see that? Holy smokes!
Of course, we have seen
some maps from them but just remember what happened
on Split for example, right? you too yes um it's a
map that we understand that something's working people are not prepared some things don't even
situation to be in uh but we can understand that they're just not ready
as an aspect.
Yeah for sure, and you know as matter of fact, we'll go ahead and hear from Wu because the
funny thing is he actually doesn't want to play duelists.
This is his Omen player moment, check it out.
Hey guys! I am W Wood from Heretics.
Probably because of the ice packs
I lost my 5 years for my life
It was so stressful
Also like playing Duelist
is making me so nervous and making so much pressure on me.
So I just want to play flex, not the others.
I'm so happy to play against Chinese teams because...
His own fan!
Yeah he is just security right there
So yeah I'm so happy to win against him
and get the playoff
Oh but now he's giving his position away. Now we know where he is!
Meanwhile Mood on the other side with four!
Lysaur drops one.
Can he 1v3 to close this out?
No! The ace for Loose!
About KangKang... He tracked 2 times. It was so close, nice
I think... He didn't tiff me but
I didn't tiff him as well
So he's strong
His terminology
We will see in the match, like about my performance.
I'm really proud of myself because it's an international event is like second biggest
event up all around and I was watching it when I was younger, when I was 15.
So I'm just playing here and dropping 70 in 3 maps
so I am proud of myself
We really miss you Minibo
And we love you
And we are waiting for you for stage 2.
Ayyyy!
Damn.
There's a homie right there.
Bro, that's cute.
Of course the team playing for their teammate but again it's just that confidence from him.
He was 15 when Valorant was out?
Yeah.
I need him to be my life coach.
Really?
Did you see like of
course I'm super proud of
myself?
You know, I dropped 73 maps
and also by the way we miss
you.
We can't wait to have your back
how is this guy straight up just? I'd rather play flex.
The player he reminds me of
is Zekken, both really young
both started their ballad career super early
and really stepped up into teams
proved the ability to play a variety of different roles
and also to perform at a super high level
consistently. I think that it's kind of
there are so many players like this
in Valorant. It's honestly shocking that we keep
finding new talent like this, and they keep being
able to show up to this big of a stage.
All I'm saying is there's a kid right now that's watching this show thinking to themselves
it's going to be me one day.
Who was that kid?
Not you bro, definitely not you. But it could be... When day. Who was that kid? Not you, bro.
Definitely not you.
But it could be...
We have to wait until you show up and pop off on the main stage because I
have a feeling it's gonna happen sooner rather than later.
Unbelievable seriously.
And we're seeing the results come in from the poll. Obviously, some Heretics
fans in the chat sounding off but
this is going to be a tough one.
Whoever I'm talking to knows what I'm talking about.
They've got to be coming into this one as
a heavy favorite given the circumstances of heretics,
but also it's EDG.
Yeah, EDG is definitely
the favorite into this matchup
in front of their home crowd
with time to warm up
with some great performances
in stage 1 for China.
This is their chance to start a run.
Time to warm up, but outside of the server.
Heretics, yes, they still have a lot to prove,
a lot to improve as well.
But you know, they've had a very good run so far.
Indeed they have. Can that run continue? we go all of our minds can edg quell the fire
that burns within team heretics let's go ahead and send it down to the stage and bring out our squads.
Raising ISO, taking the stage! Oh yeah! Oh, they look clean.
Yeah the cosplays are on fire.
Are ON FIRE? What the fuck did I just say?
But does Rien has chicken?
Has chicken?
Yeah, the chicken. The lucky chicken
Oh like the plushie?
Oh yeah he got it
Is that what you use usually?
Yeah I have the same one
Ah I gotcha
Because our mom gifted us like for Easter
Wait chat to the like for the easter two chickens wait chat so
busio plus she got banned, the pig
what if it comes out with a chicken
and fucking starts pointing at that
is he gonna get in trouble for that too?
I respect them plugging the bundle, but I respect it.
It's the hometown heroes versus
the fluky underdogs.
You got Team Heritage taking five on heroes versus the fluky underdogs you got team heritage i think i think bye i think it has to be like it's two on the nose right there has to be a creative way
and everyone has been anticipating this one the battle between woot and kong-kong
what we're gonna see between you know why i got banned what do you mean here's your series layout
sunset split and if necessary will be taking a trip over to brief time after time heretics just wants
to go to sunset i mean i understand that but i think it's blowing it out of proportion
it's about like against the turkish team
shaky wrong about that. THEIR SHOULDER. THEY HAVE A LOT OF TRACKS TO PLAY WITH AND THAT'S WHAT WE
WANTED TO SEE.
NOW, THEY'VE HAD TWO MORE
MATCHES TO WARM UP BUT STILL
THIS IS A SQUAD WHO MADE A
LAST-MINUTE SUBSTITUTION WHO HAS who also i think can play with nothing to lose because of that against an emg
who has so much pressure on him but hear me out your heritage you've made it
this far are you really going to count yourself
out i don't think so there's a difference between counting yourself up and realizing that there's
for us to go on a run and we can just play our damn this i think that's the mentality
that's brought them as far already i think that you could get that they
can say those themselves as winners
they most definitely could right i mean there's look everyone's here in this competition for a
reason these are you know from stage one to now these are the best teams on the
stage they're still with vinos already these are the best teams on the stage already
i don't think so at the end of the day
when you break down both sides of the
field here heretics they certainly
they're going to be playing with house money.
Right?
They've made it this far
in this tournament
and to your point Mimi
so they can't just keep
going with that more
I mean that mentality
won champions
for each match
exactly
and I really think that this tournament when i'm watching
edg is about managing expectations and managing pressure you have this massive crowd people have
been waiting for you to come and step up and they're starting on a bang it's a
comp change for edg they're taking a
page
i've never seen a complex before on sunset
i mean they just changed the viper for the astra they want a little bit more of cell
utility instead of gecko might be too extreme now is heritage going to
be prepared for this because they decided to come here well we're ready to get into the first map
which means it's time to let our casters cook here's d Doug and Baby Bae on the call.
Ah, shit.
Thank you so much, guys.
This is going to be a really exciting match.
Obviously EDG have the number one seed out of China Dre
playing in their home studio
but also starting off on Sunset is fascinating.
I believe it was Mimi who mentioned it on the desk.
Heretics have already beat two Chinese teams
on this map 13-4, 13-5 or 13-3
Yeah.
Or something like that.
A stomping and
that was mainly because of woot he just had his way with both those teams
i mean he's gonna go for it three feet right here but they are going to be
starting on the defensive side all right here we go against this double
controller composition now edg they normally run the viper instead of the astra but
i imagine we're going to see some very similar ideas of basically trying to get that elbow
trying to manipulate a rotation Oh wait! This car's about to go crazy for you these years. It's fucking done the pun there.
They literally just done the pun over on me.
What? Oops, my bad. but they come in as the number one seed what you know a little bit
oops time in the lab to figure something out we'll see if it
pays off as edg is on the attacking side and they've got cong-cong with light armor and a classic.
And it has to be a slow approach for EDG because there's so much input utility out of the side of heretics,
you want to bait it out like they're doing right now,
and then just stabilize around round try to find an opening
When those items are on cooldown
Going across the middle of the map a a couple of members have taken damage.
Three on the side of EDG, a little bit worse for wear.
But they've turned their attention towards A.
There is some presence from the defensive side, Woot and Boo are here.
With Reinhardt not too far off... presence from the defensive side, Woot and Boo are here.
Wait it's so good for EDG that they have like a lot of smokes
Yeah!
There is Woot on this side so it doesn't matter.
Oh my god!
He's just ailing it!
You're watching Unvalorant Twitch, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
What a way to start the game!
Yeah what's up, bud?
It's not hot that's dangerous, that's dangerous. What the wait to start the game? Yeah, what the fuck?
That was not hot.
That's dangerous.
That's dangerous.
I mean, Blue, I don't know if it was prep or what but on that default box at A he was
able to tuck away from the gecko flash and not be seen at all. I mean,
no one's going to be looking there because it didn't connect.
And after this,
he's just hitting some nice shots.
Beautiful.
Come on! Is it only if one of them Beautiful.
Is it only if one of them get a 3k plus? I want to say so.
Big start. Jeez. Yeah, he's three off a raise as well.
They're giving him a Guardian full armor too.
Jeez, it could be so deadly in the half-toon. They believe bro.
Heretics believe.
It will be early A control for the defending side.
Scary match.
For the opposite.
Just a slow walk into B main. But bomb is all the way in mid yeah that's scary
and there's a cypher trip that should be ahead of this doesn't get broken quite yet
edgy fishy he was watching that way, the smiker
rotating back towards main and Benji
the first to take contact. Nade invested
in his direction but EDG have funneled out onto the site they've taken a lot
of this space they've even gotten smoggy really far up playing with smoke attack over
the top not able to connect on to the second it's scra's scrappy but it seems to be slowing down
what was that from smoggy he's gonna have to 1v2
and he's not going to be given much of a shot No god.
He lost like, a weapon.
Off of that he's gonna have his ult online in forever.
And thats the perfect round to have a showstopper because yeah its perfect.
He's having fun bro
who's having fun nice setup play for woot i mean maybe taking his camera even some other utility that we've seen them do like dancing with the spade I think they pressed twice like each other
and potentially snowballed this game
out of control on the blending side
And also, Heretics have done a really good job
taking A space early on yeah kind of just trying to re-clear
that entire area fighting yeah it's pretty nuts i'm not gonna lie so they're very proactive
so far on their defensive side matches nuts and this is what i was talking about off of the cypher The G2 match is nuts. That's a huge win for G2.
Oh my god, PRX versus EDG?
Why not give it to somebody who is playing on A and that's Patek.
Could be a heartbreaker.
He has been great with his mechanics all tournament long.
He has been hitting some really nice headshots
it will be a slow approach for edg and honestly
for all the viewers out there, get used to this.
Early on in the matches on Sunset
they like to play this way. They like to play
slow, bait-out utility, see what they can
do, see what they're working with
and then they transition in the middle of the half and start playing
more aggressive and they change the pace that's something edg is really good at doing with Oh, he got robbed. Hit the ceiling.
Ana's in a good position.
Trade-in? Nice!
Can't gank with two? is a spike has not made it straight in nice tank angle two kills chichu weak
but a little bit of space for the attack
grenade in his hand too
and patatek right now he's just waiting for buddha linked up with him
potentially start the retake what
an awkward little crevice that's unfortunate so my gosh she did working at one tapping players and all of a sudden
that freeze that EDG did
oh my god
let's go, that big
I will take the 1v1 Oh my god the flash. They all played one though, they did.
I think that guy who was supposed to trade
Tahm Kench was too low
Yeah i think it was...
Forget who it was. Who was the opponent?
Yeah, Chichu couldn't trade
but it's too low and ultimately worked against them i mean
they hard froze yeah
believe They're feeling it. They are, they believe.
Oh no! Big move!
Yeah but the wrong jersey.
Oh f***
Wait on this duelist role. Yeah, he said that he feels a lot of the pressure and it makes sense.
Much like how
Patrick fought
with Bajie Chichu right here.
He wouldn't believe
at watching the kid play.
Oh my god.
Exactly.
It's just... I mean he is ice cold
if that's what he is like being nervous
I can't even imagine what he is like when
he is not. Yeah. What does it look like
when he is confident?
The lad is mad. Right now, EDG... This is impossible for him.
Actually wait- no they're still low though even if they get the bomb down?
Yeah he could be anywhere at this point. There hasn't been any info gathered.
The cool thing about this situation is that I think he also has a cam
That sees the mid walkup from B so they don't really have to play on this B site at all.
They can just play the disciplined game and play together.
Both these players of EDG are sitting at 5 HP apiece. That's not something
you see every day. I don't know how they're so synced
up like that with the igl of haodong he's gonna have to try to do anything they can to win this
round planted the spike my ultimate and i imagine it's just gonna be so hard
i mean rians has sobadar he's got the drone he's got two
shocks i mean they need a miracle right here yeah a
lot of advantages way B. Oh!
The defense here re-insplains up the two that remain
And this bro has full attention and he's gonna get the defuse
and his friends online for the next round
Heretics have started off masterfully
I mean they've got plenty of money
They're gonna have they've already had one old in woods now
They're gonna every insist okay, we have big goals the snowballs again
Replay just running through the smoke that was all he Boo out who got Omen flashed early in that round.
Yeah it is. EDG ults are coming up too but...
Fishe is're waiting.
They're waiting right now.
I mean...
There's a lot of pressure on EDG as well in this match
because Heretics is the team that took down their brothers.
It took down both the Chinese teams
that, I mean that EDG beat,
so they have to kind of be like that big brother
and help their little bro out.
But so far it's just been the woot show.
7-2 and Reigns cleaned up that last round.
It's not a jersey curse bro.
PRX were winning when I had the jersey on.
Actually they started losing when I took it off.
I mean Abu hasn't even died yet.
It just looked really good out of Heretics early on.
Obviously not FaZe, not concerned about who his back on the other side of the stage
they look really comfortable, they look great
And this is kinda to be expected
This is Heretic's map pick
EDG the last time they played it
It was a pretty early timer
It was like 16k but it wasn't pretty at all
And right now, to put us in the Vyper is...
Maybe it would have been better for EDG with the don't have anything going.
That can be a huge ult. Wait...
I think Anise is ready to ult if we fight. They're trying to set it up though!
They're trying to set it up with the Astra one way here on the left side
But I mean we saw Woot just completely disrespect him right?
Granted he was an eco round so maybe he would have gotten punished
What's their plan on diamond like i guess is this
not the last time he's going to try to push that because yeah he will fight for online they started
i don't know are they gonna contact A that got smoked out?
Yeah but... They took a pause for that.
And like Heretics were doing this all the time.
I dunno, i'm not sure they don't want that
thrash to get value right and again they have reasons all the time yep so as soon
oh I wonder if they just signed Flood in. Ooh, that knife hitting!
Ah, I think that was intentional.
So nobody gets tagged by the knife to suggest they're staying B but...
They're all rotating back A.
And that's the power of double spawn
is
yeah it's easier than a fake.
Oh he avoided it. voodoo now winding and wrecking with that manages to avoid it
out of the sky I believe for a little bit longer but ultimately with three seconds left are they gonna be able to get the spike down? They will. About a second was the difference and now 4v3, the way of the attack
Heretic's patient with their approach
Patient with the attempt at a flood
pat attack
surely not after the disposal of EDG for Chichu in case it's needed
Was the one who gets that gets that kill we're fucked.
EDG nervous playing in front of the home crowd?
Not a doubt in their minds that they had the time to go
for this
and that entry, I mean that was so clean
That was everything
They have Ominous as well.
So finally EDG will get on the board!
I don't think they're nervous, cause they play it in this studio.
Hong Kong is sitting on a showstopper, Chichu does have that Astral. Did they play it in the studio? Maybe, maybe.
Maybe a little more than usual.
I thought he was... He's kind of on his own here. Separating really hard, I don't think the knife is going to tag much.
I think that was also a real addition.
Yeah, Concon can see us where he was gonna be.
Why not clear it? I mean, he's got so much value in a cop
all not long so far
and other really was based has been here now
e t g with the benefit of it
on Oh, good money. Wow. That was good Uto.
Oh my god.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. Oh my god.
They look good.
Even though we missed that one way, it would have been so much easier to get there.
They tried fighting main but they lost.
Yeah, the nades were neutral. The utility was good.
It's a bad start.
It's a bad start.
Very well played from Team Heretics on that retake.
Especially with how the last, I mean, retake went.
EDG had such good crossfires this time.
Not exactly a crossfire onto that lane area.
I think you're right too,
You mentioned the spacing and how good it looks for Heretics
even in that fight as the cage goes down
The ability to trade every single member in case it got messy
now you have to be worried about all that discipline it like kind of soaks into your brain
and you're like oh yeah i changed it up
go for a random peek there's gonna be two maybe three guys holding me
oh they're ready to fight this The pushing Nothing through. Spike's still playing it though.
They're pushing? This is hard!
No, they're pushing so hard.
That was so unnecessary.
You hear him play the the push fight, yeah.
Oh I don't like to push!
The thing is their bomb plant was so bad that it's's so hard to stomp this bomb plant.
You need to like...
It was the moving death ball approach from Heretics that secured them that round and
yeah the showstopper doesn't connect from Wooth
but I mean that Cypher ult did a good job of everything which just spammed nobody through the smoke That's true. Eliminate some of the angles.
Also, it took too long
to take this base.
The Palette was already here.
And with this Astral, it's easier for Defenders to plug in tight,
You know? There is no position
To play on tight. But five rounds now separating these two EDG have found the tiniest sliver of success
But other than that, it's been all heretics all the way and they've tried a lot of different looks
I mean you try doing a fast ad fault. You've tried a lot of different looks i mean you've tried doing a fast ad fault
you've tried slowing the round down faking that you're going a then going back unless
you go mid at least right definitely got too much working right now for EDG.
Yeah
try to take market control mainly because heritage something they're playing the map so well
The proactive after they take a space. Blue is just living on A.
I think he has to play more middle.
That's what I was saying, yeah. Take market?
Yeah maybe like pressure top middle and try to like...
Oh my god! He almost got the timing. That's why you see the chrono here again. Oh! Yes.
And he still gonna take a little bit of nade damage
The plant got interrupted
It's going to be on nobody, pick it back up and try a second time
He still has that brush should get goals from take back all
Or she sees oh
he wasn't able to fully commit to the plan we
Move a little bit more thrash going in forward. The rockets?
Nobody tried to sweep through smokes, he's gonna smoke.
Oh there one below me!
How are you able to connect on 1?
Cancang is 1 though.
3v3 for the round Yeah, he's really low.
Flash they know he is there.
Got one!
Rehans got this.
Double peek? Rehans got this. That's all he'll find.
Double peek?
I like how they played it.
Yeah, that was good. Good play, good play.
Actually better to see what they did in double peeking
Guys obviously the crowd is cheering for EDG bro, wake up!
What the fuck? No shit they're cheering for EDG bro.
Why was the crowd not cheering for EDG? We should be happy that we are not booing the other team.
What you guys saying?
I think we'll be playing on Russian language
Who's playing on a different language?
On Russian, like Chicho
He's playing russian language
really high flashing blue taking space and the dizzy over the top
to try to keep it back but it got cleared instantly
that pickup star there might be conditioning for future rounds
maybe you'll see some players behind it the next time you see that. EDG really wants to go A all the time.
They always start with a kill and then...
They dislike other places, but this time around...
That slow approach...
They're gonna come rounds of the half. that slow approach they need to play more middle though i really think so as well
but even then you know you talked dre earlier about how they
have tried a number of different looks they've tried being aggressive and tried the more slow defaulty look.
Even this while it's a little bit slower much like we've seen in some of
the earlier rounds of the half
The way they're exploring the map is different
Yeah they are I mean it's a change of pace for sure
And I mean the success that they had
was...I mean the two rounds
were off of that thrash
but its like the rounds where they don't have the ult
where it kind of just falls apart for them
You mentioned that they need to try right
um comes to site you see the utility already dumped down the benching as she playing back side getting two standing ahead this is gonna be such a tough thing to hold the 3v5 with how he's not thinking
conk-con's in his spot though and nobody's in market so KongKong needs to go huge here!
They're not ganking.
The paranoia trade in KongKong.
Oh my god no ammo?!
Oi! no ammo Holding the defuse all the way. Big body game.
Heretics continue to roll.
That's all because of the disruption that Benji Fishy and Reigns had on that initial weekend.
After they get out the choke point, there is not enough utility to take the next part of site
It's just dry here
Yeah I got too much healing like you like he's doing too much stupid things there.
Yeah, take that- get off the choke.
Wait...
ETC 5 step not happening?
Hello. Post plant scenario.
You think those podiums are as worth a delay when the trailer shines?
I mean you can delay so many lanes and kinda cycle the utility.
And if EDG baits out early utility from Heretics,
they might not have even a flash to run through those smokes.
That's what they're trying to
set up.
This time it will be a walk into Alpha that's what they're trying to set up
this time it will be a walk in the elbow but if tom cong decides to walk up here with
oh this is so hard to clear. This angle's actually so annoying with the judge.
Oh wow! I'm surprised he survived that for that long.
Shot him twice.
Oh, he's farming. Shot him twice! Oh he's hard to aim.
Oop
I mean, here it is Oh. Nice! off the contact that was some of the most clean stuff I've seen The flash, the molly
Too hard!
And it was in tandem right?
We have a right click flash
Not only do we have that but reans has a lineup dart
that lands in the back attack and then he's able to go for even more with another right
that's what happened tragic the darkark I didn't even see that!
Oh wait
Is that how they scammed all of them?
Oh my god
EDG need this round
Yeah
They need three
They need at least 3
Wait Do you be the second time out for EDG Wait, you said second time out?
Yeah
It feels one-sided
Very one-sided right now just to remind everybody this is not edg's map pick
and they did switch it up this is the first time that they've ran an astro over the viper
on this map and maybe that is playing a factor.
They're just not used to playing it in a match setting.
Maybe, they've had a couple of cool ideas you mentioned some
of the recalled smokes but yeah
It's been really tough for them to find success
I think we can attribute some of that
to the comp change,
but I think the big takeaway here
is Heretics just continues to dominate on Sunset.
We mentioned earlier they bested
all their two Chinese teams that are playing in this tournament
And now they're having their way with DDG as well
and a big part of that is
The anchor players for team heretics
They kind of allow
The rest of the players to be enabled and yeah do a lot of stuff on
the re on the retakes it's like they're running into a brick wall every single time they try
to hit a site yeah and the brick ball is sometimes these are here sometimes We start here. WE START HERE! EDG!
Oh god...
I wanna say it's a similar story story G2 where the site is just not warmed up
They need to get into the game this time. He's gonna get aggressive like I feel like they haven't got their footing at all
King is not he's still iced
he needs like one good round here for the attack
you need one good round online two within one point
that's not gonna go on let me get it so confident yeah That's good from TH. EVT wanted to to go mid but now they're a bit scared.
Pushed away.
They are going to farm the orb for geckos I guess he does not have a puck. Oi!
They go?
This is crazy push.
Got one.
Where did nobody die? Okay, nickel! Nickel!
Nickel!
No it would fade!
Fade throw!
How do Pathetech and Blue get back in on this?
The Parano paranoid only connecting one
leaving pad attack alone a 1v2 attack the swing coming through
anymore We need more, we need more. We want to sneak back into it!
We just did a good job of reclearing the lurking mid
but the answer back from KongKong that was huge
Look at this right here
Nice shot on the woot and then smoggy this kill right here to support kong-kong who was completely omen flashed nice work heat up last round of the half 3 Nice work from EDG. Heat up!
Last round of the half, three ults on
the side of E attack and they have a Thrasher
They're two for two on Thrasher
EDG do a really good job of using that first Thrasher ult and then picking it back up and using it for even more value.
Daggered A?
Are they going back to A because of Dagger Day?
How much money do you have left in the house bro?
I don't gamble.
Something that they've done a lot and this is another
showstopper trap but this time he's way ahead of it meanwhile they invest the fraction theiranoia on the other side, feeling some of
pressure coming in on one side filling in on the rest of the map.
Comcom has already gotten all the way up into Alphamore and here he is able to click
up the thrash again and have it for a post-clamp.
I think if they this knife from the bush
Oh, it bounced! Ok that's the kill Here's more. Still tucked behind the cosmic divide, patatech will get attacked but now without taking one with him.
Leaving woode in a 1v3
A4 ain't even that bad wait
They didn't have 4 yet buddy
In electric fashion is gonna have to close it book ended if
he wants to win this thing out otherwise edg will get to four oh this nade will have...Kangkong half the peak.
That's heat second for Kangkong, glad they took that swing.
Good help good help.
Yeah not bad.
It was also big that Cancang turned up at the end there.
I'm not a fan of how EDG played their attack,
it seemed like they were not in control
all around this type of game.
They kind of relied on individual plays a little bit right?
Even if Kongkong drops there you imagine individual plays a little bit, right? It wasn't that cohesive.
We can like, they can get hyped up for us because of the crowd.
The crowd will help if they can get some rounds.
It's a very important pistol for to like, end this game for...
Chinese professional basketball player? That's's sick dude what does it feel like seeing esports and gaming
on a stage like this in shanghai What's his name, bud?
Hunsing? Alan...
Yeah.
That was it!
Yeah. Really? That was good.
Okay... also all of the top players from all of the leagues and i feel like deep in my heart
i'm so happy for them yeah that's so
wonderful and of course
as an athlete as well what is your
mentality going into a big competition
like this what is the advice that you can give
these players and do you have any advice for our international players?
When we compete with top international players,
they must be nervous before the match.
They are expecting a lot expectations of our fans.
And then, I hope they can...
I'm here today to try my best
Don't have so many bad thoughts
Just go on stage and relax Oh, I see. Nice, nice, nice!
Uh oh, it went too long.
They're like fuck fuck fuck the fucking rope please!
It went too long here.
Oh my god it went to longer.
I'm still waiting, i'm still waiting and still waiting for my perspective in international tournament like this you need
to like just take it easy don't think think too much, just play as good
as you play your role and I think you will play good.
Well thank you so much for your time CSDN
let's get back to the game.
There is one more question that I haven't asked yet.
Can I ask a question for you. Do you want to ask me? I'm going to grab some more time.
Are we talking about Jed or not?
You can share it with everyone.
He's asking when I was going to take the crown?
Take it over bro!
Bro is going on a ramp!
What the fuck is going on?
What did he say?
Wait, wait, wait...
Someone who speaks Chinese, what'd you say?
What'd he saying?
Bro, I had a rant!
Oh my god.
They were down here the same... They just straight up cut him off!
He must be happy ghost of Tyler.
You're saying root for EDG basically?
I wouldn't like to be in that Riot station right here.
That's funny. I see the Riot Station right here. He's trying to motivate EDG? Okay, I'll see.
He just taking inspirational shit. Did the crowd bring more energy?
Big pistol.
There are only two heroes alone on site.
I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not.
I don't know what it is but I think they were playing really well.
I don't know how many people died in this game.
I don't even remember who died.
I don't know why.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Big pistol. There's only two here, he's alone on site.
One? And the other guy died!
Oh god... That might be fucking good.
Nooooooo
Oh!
He don't intend to win that
He just played one by one all the time.
They're blind man, that was beautiful.
Chichu saving the day bro when potty tech gets unflashed
good boys that was actually hilarious that he got cut off it's back baby i'm not gonna lie
i respected it though. Yeah, well sort of taking over And it got messed up for edg and it kind of felt like they needed that
yo rumor hasn't been still talking rumor has he's still talking They're all here.
One burst, two kills.
Now three remain for heretics.
That's everything you want out of the bulldog.
Scoped in, killed that little burst we need kang kang to do like to be
the guy yeah yes to yell everybody cleaning up the round with bulldogs
super healthy going into this next year even tries to invest here
all he used was a ghost in that round like after the game we saw it's kind of
crazy for it to be 8-6.
Because his sculpt is so one sided right?
Yeah, literally.
The whole game they've been getting old but now it's somehow it's eight six like i don't know this just happened so fast you were wondering whether
because all they had was a ghost they will buy full armor and accordion
The very good chance of damaging the economy here
They're fighting together.
Oi!
Yeah scary, very scary.
Bro that's crazy to play like on attack for doing this close range? Like, easier to spray.
Oh!
Oh, you think
the other guy... He actually had a chance. His teammates
died though. His teammates couldn't, his teamates killed and died there.
How did his teammates die?
How did everyone around him die so easily?
It's actually winnable but really it's not.
That smoking trip... It's actually winnable but really it's not. That's smoke and trip.
What I mean like,
when you play duelists it feels like
when you enter sometimes
shoot one bullet
in milliseconds so you need that one bullet kill.
I see what you mean. You saying you don't have a lot of time
to get the kills so you need to like
The Vandal being 1 tapped is like
helps to guarantee the kill
Yeah yeah It's just a lack of timing.
I hear you.
Oh! Wait... I'm looking to catch anything on the way out that he can. Oh, boy!
Did I try it? Touching mark?
The attempt at a bonus, the possibility of one is gone.
EDG did a really good job in this round
of bringing it back
and getting a lot of guns out, and armor
Now
The buy from heretics is kind of scrappy
We're seeing a bulldog out of Reins.
Here's the nice training on the actual site when the hit came for Heretics.
But KongKong, I mean, he got in that sight
and if this keeps happening in the future
maybe when he has a Vandal that can one-shot head shot
That's a completely different round.
Maybe EDG takes that round
Oh yeah, Kankake finds an AWP
The first AWP of the game?
Probably I don't think he opts for it Can't even find it as an AWP. The first AWP of the game? Probably.
I don't think he AWP'd on attack.
Oh, that's scary.
He needs to be able to break the drone.
Push with AWP!
Smoggy here, he played this round... Don't show the op, don't show the op. Good
Nooo! The traitor is dead he took the game by storm with this weapon
i don't know heretics was a number of days how is he so low did you hit 58 HP on his move.
Wait, that's a good smoke for her I think.
Yeah, little bit.
It would be good if they played in it but they didn't.
It let them cross the side of the line.
Wait, do you know? Do you know?
They seem to know...
Someone- Yeah someone knows.
Yeah.
Ah it's too hard though.
Wow. Wow!
And the training from Reins
on the conchon in the first round
that was ridiculous mid-session
he insta-conconed Yeah They're so open and they give this most like, space to play around it.
Yeah.
That's the original move.
The problem was the...
Like the trade is instant and then the second guy can't do anything nobody needs one there
and then he closes it out with this this was really nice i mean we talked so much about how
that double late uh wrap into elbow could have been disaster disaster if Reigns isn't looking that way
There's so much value found
And a lot of that was off of Woot actually taking that space in CT
Right? They don't have to worry about lane whatsoever because the Cypher cam is there from BenjyFishie.
Where else are they players?
This time around for Harrod takes a very quick A default
You gotta loot that showstopper, you're right
I like that play from EDG You're right. Retake, we'll act about it at least.
He's going B right away. EDG thought they had, but this time around Heretics, they tapped the orb there.
They just waited for a trap play.
And then when they do commit EDG aren't able to funnel in behind it quickly enough
with a full on the draw
The rotation was perfect for Heritage,
because their page 2 is a really nicely round
I saw him!
The mage killed him is not going to be a factor here and they can just run them down or at least try to Yeah. There he is.
This game was too hard I think Oh it's first match though
But Oh, it's first match though. You have to fight two or three people in front of you with gun disadvantage and utility flooding you. Look at the discipline from her.
And then they all get out together.
Right, man if you somehow win those you're gonna have to deal with the rest.
A miserable spot to be in. That's playing really good. Starting to slip away!
I want EDG to get top 4
Not feeling very optimistic about it
You don't necessarily have to be disciplined right you think all right we're able to clean this up really well
that'll see i picked th and my pick-ems. Bro, don't look at my pick on me bro. It's cooked.
And it can be so hard to play against a team that is like that.
It kinda feels like you can't really do anything right?
If you force the issue, you're just gonna get get met by two or three players in a crossfire.
It's aggressive up from with the satchels but it's actually Concon who invested his ult on the other side
He is gonna find plenty of space he a good turn to try something the same.
The ult not connecting, both rockets traded, no kills found.
Oh, Def- Def has lost from head front.
You got a lot of presence here.
Teej is just waiting for you inside his smokey wolf hole and fetching fish to kill him tonight! got a lot of presence here is it out heretics get to map point they're losing all the fights again heretics fighting
together on the site they're having too much fun oh my god but re-ins with that we're watching to replace today i mean it just goes straight through the smoke that gives a confidence I would like to but it's hard.
Right there, Ren is so funny! They're getting really good at censoring themselves aren't they? Yeah, they are. Another quick B default.
I mean if it ain't broken no fixin'.
They have the read.
They have a read.
Progressives may say at the beginning of paranoia and a satchel out.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. They have the read.
No, it's too hard there. Check, just face check that smoke.
But now, that Cypher ult is going to give full info.
They're all here and they know it but they might try to hit us anyway.
How? Holy shit! Trying to get across the road.
How?
Holy shit!
He was just sliding.
You're not missing right now, you can't make it up.
It's just meant to be bro, it's just meant to be.
I'm shocked out of bro. meant to be bro it's just meant to be EDG didn't do better than the previous two teams that got six rounds, but I think it was like three rounds and four rounds. Our stuns were so good.
Yeah, they looked easy.
Against FPX it was 13-4. Yeah, it looked easy. It looked really easy.
Against FPX it was 13-4
against DRG it was 13-5
Gooooooo!
That's the way I like it as well
The anti-shred is catching up
Seven more games and they might win the match
Oh boy and they might win the map. Oh, boy.
Okay, but split is scary.
I think EDG split is very good.
They picked split.
I was worried
they're not warmed up
so that's what
it feels like
but
fuck,
I don't know.
Fuck,
I don't know.
I mean,
is this thing
that you lose
the first game
so bad
that you have the first game so bad,
That like you don't have nothing to lose for the second map.
So you play more relaxed maybe.
Could be, could be.
I mean for football it didn't work.
Definitely not.
What a stomp.
I'm gonna get a snack chat.
I'll be back in a second. You're not a DJ today, no music?
Oh, kurwa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I need to put some bangers on story.. Silence. Thank you. Silence.... PRX Floss, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My bro's playing DM.
He's locked in. Respect... foreign I'd like to talk about the game itself.
When a ghost player gets up, it's really cute.
So when I saw that a ghost player got up on my opponent team, I was actually angry and asked the Bosteo's reaction. I should have been mad at him, but he said
why is he so cute?
I thought that even if we were laughing,
they would make us laugh.
So actually, I don't think it's a trash talk.
But I think it will be fun for us too.
Fuck fuck fuck okay hold on we hold on. We're watching this site
So what do you think is the game plan going into split right now? Which is gonna be EVG's mapping
Yeah, so we kind of expected them to pick split
So we're well prepared for it
We've made a couple of changes to how we're going to They expected Split, you guys are two steps ahead
So for me we're just gonna focus on our fundamentals
And yeah we had a little bit time to prepare so
Hopefully the work we put in pays off on Split
Alright and we're gonna see if it does indeed pay off So hopefully the work we put in pays off on Split.
Alright, and we're going to see if it does indeed pay off We'll see how the changes that Team Heretics has brought in
Trash Talk? He's rather cute I have to admit
so when you are on the other side, when he stands
up trying to kind of provoke you,
it's not going to make us mad because he's so
cute. It's just going to give us like a
good energy, make us happy
because of his cuteness.
What the fuck? They turned Buccio...
Oh, what the fuck?
How did they...? This is like
channeling turning your nervousness
into excitement.
They've turned the trash talk into something adorable.
And um I don't think of that as a trash talk and it's gonna be a fun game against them.
They're a good team.
They think it's cute the wait the moguls won vs. The Dobros
Close but no cigar?
13-4.
13-2.
13-11.
Mata. Okay. uh Oh, people think PRX fucked up in picking foot instead of our picking G2 instead of Foot?
That's interesting. It's kind of hindsight, but...
Looking back at it
G2 probably did look better than foot
in terms of current form
so they do have a point. You Wait, everyone's upset at PRX for picking G2, damn.
Boostio baits PRX into thinking G2 are shit so they pick them in the playoffs. Show how G2 did their dirty work of knocking PRX into the lower bracket. Another Boostio master master class oh my god wait loki loki busio has been talking
bad about you too i already saw that RG video.. I have Luna to help with some translation.
So, After what was the most difficult thing about playing against Team Heretics?
What were they doing that team EDG was really struggling with? I think we are on their
I don't know what you were going to say, let's see
Slow start maybe
No matter the gun details
or the props they will be more foreign I think mechanically they have their aiming so,
like, so clearly and they got their key.
It seems we're going to fix that in the next map
And when they go on the first queue
We definitely gonna work with our synergy
and our aiming
Well hopefully the synergy and our aiming.
Well, hopefully the synergy and the aiming will be on point as we head into
the next map.
Oh they're gonna need that synergy to really
synergize because Because, I mean...
Oh mama!
...in that sunset game which is not what you
would have expected from an EDG team
that's honestly coming into this one with the most hype
they've ever come in to a tournament tournament absolutely i think we also saw players
in terms of what he's talking about the aim there who need to step up now performing this is when
the few maps where you watch gung-gong and you're not blown away right like these guys
the individuals were one of the big reasons they were lighting
the world on fire in their international league and we weren't seeing that here but going into
split this should be comfortable territory for edg they've played it a ton regionally
they're really strong on this map,
and Team Heretic struggled last time we saw them.
Yeah, they struggled a lot.
I love to hear that Neil...
You know, they have already changed some things,
maybe some changes in the composition.
We were talking about Paditek.
He's no stranger to
the race but something needed to change yeah also in
in the fundamentals level it was very important because g2 got clutch after
clutch after class and we're talking about 3d1s
talking about the kind of situations that you don't lose and regarding the compositions i was
highlighting how uh edg changed them most of the compositions moving from masters madrid into stage
one and now they're doing it again i want to see if they're gonna
keep that up on split if you give up the viper for the astra as i said
first in the year for them on sunset are you going to do the same on split is
there something that is going to be a constant
well there you go that's the first
change here not on the raise and now you got old viper on both sides but i think putting him
on the racer just makes sense he's been in incredible form and he's already proved to have great synergy with the initiator of Rience.
Yeah, I think I completely agree but again all the eyes have to be right now in EDG
and how they're going to execute with this.
This composition you know is nothing crazy. We gotta thank Gowen? We got a big win
At this point
Shit
I don't wanna say anything I don't want to say anything.
I don't want to say anything. EDG with these expectations can't lose already.
EDGs got to send this one to a third map if we want to stay alive in the upper part of
the bracket, let's send it back over to your casters, Doug and BabyBae.
Thank you so much. Split on the
cards, and you know,
Nilsinho was talking about how they knew
what were the adjustments they had to make. They changed
competition, they changed roles a little bit more specifically but
I think the big takeaway is not just
those minor adjustments like that. Dre,
I think they're really prepared
for what's going on here. They knew EDG
were gonna pick split. They knew what tendencies they liked to lean around,
and more importantly,
they knew their weaknesses when they played against G2.
Yeah, and when they played against G2 I mean
they didn't really show much of anything
I mean they got completely steamrolled
The only thing that was trying to fight was Harry picks a top much of anything i mean they got completely steamrolled you know what i mean right yeah i'm already holding
similarly as g2 it might not work the same way. But I mean we don't really know yet.
We do know that EDG is insane on the attack
We knew that KongKong likes to use an attack operator
which is very unique especially in a comp like this sometimes they'll leave him
on an island working b main alone i mean traveling literally that's what it feels like he's had with
that attacking operator yes it was a different composition and nobody was on that jet to support him.
But I imagine he's still going to do the same thing
I've seen him do in the Valorant Chinese matches that he's played so
Get out of my way!
Finally getting into things right now uh you lied
and being told there is a tech delay but we fix it Oh no! Noooo!
I was looking for the FG.
All those Gorbars you did.
I don't remember, but they lost a lot of on their team. I think it's like Clank and... Now we're getting into the action, now we're gonna get to see how you need to play the attacks that you were mentioning.
The importance of Kong-Hung with the AWP and how effective he is historically against him.
See if he can do a bit of the same.
Heretics they've promised adjustments oh silent but potentially deadly approach to
the round as edg with this time we'll just play it is invested at all this contact style
because Because he's just in the meta right now
That is true
He didn't fight that I don't think they know he's here. Meanwhile, Lute is trying to strike at his own!
Good fight back
They're so proactive, Heretics
Heretic still proactive There's three players that'll just fight this ARAMP while one watches the vent.
Heretic is so proactive
He has a bomb down
Oi! He got him killed
He tried to grab the bomb, oh my god.
Oh that's not good.
I don't know...
I don't know man.
I don't know about EVG right now.
It's looking shaky.
If Teamplay shows better it feels that way
it really goes that way honestly how long
he jiggled that he saw woot there but it was still the mechanics of loot that
has been prevailing for this team heretics team
i really like though you mentioned it earlier team i really like the way you mentioned it earlier but i really
liked the way patatek played his positioning there waiting for booze paranoia all year so far
they've been doing well domestically, not internationally.
Really can't and now for EDG every time you go A ramp
You have to be worried about that A ramp re-clear
Yeah it was only pistols but
You see the potential they could. The damage they can do.
Right and the ideas that they brought into this map.
But it doesn't seem like an interesting A ramp this time around because...
Do they normally play this slow?
I feel like EDG used to be a bit more aggressive, but now they feel really, really slow. And a judge at the end of this too.
We saw some judge antics in the previous map
As silly as they were. Didn't get as much value
as we thought it would but The the follow-up utility is what shined
in that moment. This time, I mean
Reigns, he doesn't have any help at all
No util, nothing
So he has to really
at least kill two or three players even.
Otherwise EDG will have a free A site
on the mini map right now and a judge, yeah.
On the minimap right now we saw moving
but the contact will be here.
Is it a judge?
Oh they're trying to fake that
It's the judge.
There is perfect, just one!
But that's all it is so... Wait how did they change now? value getting a little bit closer to that
they're going spawn.
The Judge is gonna have to drop though...
If you lock him in CT?
Yeah maybe.
I mean that's good from Heretics though.
A reposition now tucking back Alba. It's good for a paratax though. We go rampy ab.
Goodbye.
I'm going to get him. the spit keeping them back for now forcing them to come out through heaven
we creeping forward with the judge finding value
oh my god, wow. That was a close one.
It's just so close but so far.
So close but so far. So close, but so far!
Literally...
Heretics are just like...
They're, they're,
they're like
insanely confident, man.
Nice shots from G2 too.
And their team play
is fucking nuts.
Their move is one
and they react so quickly. you know just keep it calm early one way bonus round here invested and disrespected
and woot he started on the A side of the map early on.
But since there was no rush... It looked like he was playing for a rush
Since there wasn't one, he's able to lean already towards the B side of the map
The proactivity right now from Heretics is really impressive
Flash gank from Heretics. It's really impressive. I'm just getting a little
paranoia in the swing.
The paranoia is perfect. They continue to impress!
It was literally perfect.
That was a stellar entry right there from loot
So decisive so confident he ran all the way from a site ticket
This feels like they're waiting to die almost but I don't know
Gotten used to what these Chinese teams are gonna want to play these slow defaults at the
beginning of the attack rounds if heretics seem flying the right place to strike as they have
been doing as they did on sunset as they've done here they're gonna continue to punish
it it's like they're playing a style that Heretics is very comfortable against.
Yeah, guys it's like fast and slow.
Yeah kind of slow and methodical and Heretic I think they...
I feel you play against this a lot in EU.
Yep put their speed on the line. Good job. I feel like you guys play against this a lot in EU.
There's trips here, Doug.
30 seconds left.
They look so comfortable. Now gets through Reins. Takt will have to clear it.
No way.
Now gets through Rehens, finding a little space behind him as well.
Two?
With the ghost!
See if I can upgrade a weapon... 10 seconds yeah. What the ghost?
10 seconds, yeah. Bomb down, aww...
It's washed.
What?!
Yeah, another time.
Oh my god! I found but that's another round the wave heretics. Oh
My gosh, it's perfect any is to go
It's cooked cooked. It's... it burns!
Benji, Fishy with the ghost and elbow
Yeah I see the improvements already
Oh yeah
I just saw that ran through that smoke here's that proactive start to the round poor concon you saw nothing like everything
being proactive and just picking up some
yeah their reactions are so fast.
I don't know it feels like EDG is waiting to die.
He's moving too slow.
I feel like they don't put that...
Like a... They don't like, they don't like put their...
Like a...
You know?
It seems that they're not sure what they wanna do.
They just playing the game that...
Oi!
Oh, that was hilarious. Wait another one.
Smoggy with a couple of real pills to switch it back. Smoggy!
Holy fuck, he took over.
They know it's alone on site.
This is hard shot bro.
Ay!
Big one.
I'm gonna to use the one HP now.
He will peek, he will peek.
Okay nice! Bro, you got me worried for a sec. That was the weak one! Oh yeah, okay nice. I'm not able to land the shots as Benji cleans it up.
Oh my god...
Smoggy!
Did all he could.
Smogy did all he could.
Benji with a punch John.
Benji with the clutch clutch two v2s that
are just not going their way they're trying to darn us i mean smog yes upgrade into heaven
so clean oh my gosh Yeah, it's low shots. But you cannot relax against EDG because I remember like previous champs as well, they were playing against Darius.
Like map 2 right?
Yeah, they can heat up fast.
I don't know! The problem is that I don't see them heating up!
I think it's a good pause though. EDG family in the crowd?
Family buff is not working today.
It's very flat.
Very flat.
Yeah. throughout this tournament that's very flat yeah it just really feels like the approach
for heretics here don't let them settle into that they just can't get into a flow at all
zero let them settle into feeling out the map and then striking where they want
if you're going to take the fight to them if you're not gonna allow him to settle
oh yeah so that's exactly what heretics have done here
yeah and that slow approach is how g2 absolutely destroyed heretics they
completely dismantled them, they manipulated
around the map, they had em run circles around the map. Right. So now I mean
the name of the game is Proactivity based on any spot that EDG
are even making noise. In this case it was off of a Cypher
trip, but they don't even care if its a Lurker
or the main pack. They're gonna take that fight
aggressively
So for EDG they might need to try and bait out
that trap utility act like you're taking space and hold for the re-clear
Maybe they can get a punish
Sometimes it's so hard
Especially with heretics. They just on point right now at their mechanics
Their aim is they're just on point right now with their mechanics.
Their aim is... They're just dialed in on the crosshair.
Let's see 4-0. 2nd gun round!
I guess if he has protocols and when they are-4 down, it'll take my time out.
Yeah... Is this the same timing as last map?
So that orb going up and down suggests somebody could have crossed back behind the box
That you see on your screens
right now.
That's why Woot has to be
a little cautious.
Oh, EDG need to back up
right now.
They understand
the showstopper is there
but if I'm Woot right now
showing that
Roomba on B I'm already going back to a yep all
right lee's going towards mid yeah they're reading this EDG wanting to get the trip here. There you go
Close by and Benji fishy who again has just been such a thorn in their side
Can they punish this?
Fall Gun spotted, rocket out, not connected. Pathetic will fall!
What was that?
I got the sniper.
You have it this is the best chance so far a little bit
but the site is theirs it's actually their best chance so far oh the flash is so perfect oh great there's a jersey it was a jersey curse actually
they look different already here but slow it down there's no no way Wu pulls off this 1k3 with 11 HP. No shot at all!
I mean i'm not a fan of EDG's attack versus PZT
Still looking forced, right?
Freezing around!
In this case Heretics, yeah they got that nice pop flash from Reigns but their players were waiting.
Anti, they're playing anti, they're waiting even this...
Bro I wasn't the problem that was the answer
get it right buddy just holds for that bench push out and
i mean that was all she wrote i mean there's a really clean postcard from adg yeah but
the problem is they haven't been able to get into this
close play zone.
They want to solve that piece of the equation because you're right
when they get there, they look comfortable
and they have time to set up
When they're playing the game, the rounds at their timing. It's great!
And then we were fortunate that showstopper from Woot didn't kill everyone.
Oh I didn't see that Miracle Combs though.
In such a tight area there.
Yeah Miracle Combs?
So both teams should have an idea of like what...
The presence of Heretics is good against this comp.
Yeah.
It's just Fu who's got a Sheriff playing mid.
That's a really scrappy buy from Heretics as well. I mean, yeah they have some guns invested but...
EDG will now know that the BeHeaven player is using that share. Maybe something to play with.
Wait, Wood has Classic? Oh, but... that share maybe something to play classic oh but yeah aren't budging at all they're just staying
in their setup i mean it's a half buy is he had no money at this point i mean if they go b you
can go for another retake it's a good stack from Heretics though.
Very good stack. They have Cypher trips and four here.
Also Benji has a rifle he's gonna spot...
Oh my god this is fucked. This is spot. Oh my god, this is fucked.
This is very bad.
They're gonna react to me alright?
Maybe... I think they can ult out Heaven They've got in heaven space to see if they're being traded.
I think they can all tie the Heaven.
I think Kankang's gonna ult.
Can he fight?
Oh no, he died.
Getting the first... Oh no he died Ah they don't care at all
10, 10
2 10, 10. Cool.
No time.
Nice!
Like that's the thing, that's his gambling.
Made some mid pressure and walked A
Like they don't give them time or space to react on the info
They just like, finish their mid go away
And no matter what happens they just go away.
I thought after they invested the Seekers into this round
Yeah, they didn't really play off any info
They're not playing off any info
Maybe there's a judge in Vant or something
It could be so worrisome
i mean it could work that they saw where
they just it could still work but it's
just not in your favor
it's not putting yourself in the
advantage if they have a good execute
they can get the kills and still win the round, but it's just
gamble like you said.
They need to go events the be yes he just has something
for you though they think this may
never face like a wonder yeah it was
not trying to use oh yeah I made but him alone i mean Yeah, it wastes a lot of time. It's a lot of utility.
I nade. But him alone...
He just got a raised nade out by himself!
And like 25 seconds from them up.
They see the one way and they either go through or go mid.
You take that trade like changing the plan a little bit i'll
take an omen tv for a raise and there's like no life in their attack
you know it's oh yeah it, very, very stale.
They have B-man now
they're going through mid control
Dog is broken
big damage
So they will go for a B hit broken at least this round
okay it's a b split they are setting up this b
split this will be where edg want to Okay, it's a B split. They are setting up this B split.
This will be where EDG want to end.
30 seconds.
There is three players of Heretics here and the Reeds, he's tough in back site.
Chi-Chi goes forward with Rocket,
or excuse me, Concon goes forward with Rocket at hand
Rude goes up top and gets on the move!
Oh my god.
That was insane.
That was fucking nice.
Bro, what's going on with EDG?
Does anyone know him?
They don't normally play like this, I feel like.
I haven't watched them in a minute.
Nice! Let's go!
Good play.
The same exact round, it is so similar. On 40 they go on deck somewhere.
They're not feeling any pressure. I'm pretty sure the boys didn't even jump so low.
Yeah, dude...
Game over.
Oh my god he jumps up too?
I don't think people understand how hard it is to settle your crosshair.
They go into three every time.
Yeah, yeah.
Just like that, another gun round stolen.
Poor Heretics.
And Woot, another showstopper oh man it's hard it's very hard for them right now
man heretics came they just spread the map and like default better. I don't know, like...
They're forcing the game plan too hard maybe
Like they get stopped and then they just wait
Or take this base initiative
Just commit Yeah Take the space like initially, you know? Like just commit a like...
Yeah.
That one's like take B main.
Yeah for example-
Talk and just fucking run middle.
Makes sense to me.
Like take that space.
And with the way how he-
I mean the way he played the last map
It feels like there is some- Kinda scared yeah? Kinda scared I guess? The way he played the last map...
Kind of scared, yeah?
He brought the heat into this one.
Honestly, the way he's played this tournament...
I still just can't believe he feels nervous.
It does not look like it whatsoever
well i'm sure he's not nervous now you know this is so bad for edg if they fight I guess it's the disadvantage of being like first seed.
This is so bad for EDG if they play TRX.
Yeah, that's a strategical advantage but not very emotional like that.
Three here... four here.
Taptic close by but it's Reins who punishes.
Another kill going the way of Heretics.
Same exact round.
Smog he's only one left standing
He's got a St sticker on the other chance
you will punish with one i mean that i want to close though like
he's going to upgrade a weapon! 14 seconds left, Benji Pischio...
Nice! Let's go bro!
...and he lands another filthy shot!
Wow. They're not giving them anything bro.
No time to even settle the cross or settle the move Wow, they're not giving them anything bro.
Timeout I guess? No?
Yeah timeout this time out.
Same thing 8-0 like eight rounds.
Wait, Heretic didn't take a single time out yet?
Yeah.
They haven't needed to... I don't know when they would've.
That's Brazil! they haven't made it to i don't know when that would have brazil nice brazil
thanks brazil head coach is looking at him the same way
the supporting cuts look at them the same way and why but it's time out now brazil 7-1
previous map i don't remember what they've done in one of the world cup was in the first half
a little bit earlier the german, the same problems.
I will say though
that last time EDG did take a timeout
they did bring that half back
and then closed it out
So this is a good moment
to potentially get
a 7-5 half forg sure they should be able to have a really good buy
into this round they saved last one
it was little dodgy but
you know its fine
The thing is as heretics are winning these rounds without having to invest a lot of big alts into them and then
they use them and then all of a sudden again, EDG's on eco. Right. And then it's
They have the great showing comes down to 1v1
Are you guys' pickups looking good?
Shatters the hearts of China once more
Your pickups are looking good honestly well played
This team in general,
they...
Well, I did put
heritage for this one
but like
I already lost two.
I've already lost
two out of three.
really did give them
a run for their money though.
This time around they're not having it.
Yeah, I don't think it's that they don't have much money even though they're 7-1.
Yeah, that's actually true.
Whoa, the rounds are close.
Their buy is kinda shitty...
Bulldog and Guardian
Okay more spread out this time. They got B main for free.
Raising sky working mid.
They're so calm and po're so poised not use anything
early on.
The paranoia out in the face of Rien's
repositioning is still safe. Oh, they're making a play on B. This is looking more proactive.
Oi! Big kills by Pytho though.
3v3?
Close five with Rocket in hand and... Yeah. 3v3? What a kill.
It's too hard, it's too hard!
It's just too hard. It's too hard! It's just another dominance, Tom! It's too hard.
I know exactly where it should be.
It's just too hard!
There are so many guys!
There is too many guys!
Why not use the showstopper?
You saw him!
Nice bro!
Sorry.
Sorry.
This is the moment for EG. EG is really good. EG is really good. Why not use the showstopper you saw
This is the moment for each EDG when he's there like official and they're like bro Rounds are gonna lose yeah in those rounds like you just have to know answer nothing they
didn't do pace change though and they did here i like this round better
like this run was like, looking promising.
But they still lost because the other team is just shooting so well. So much momentum
No one on easy's doing it
Who's biggest fear?
Seems like Like, DH is the Chinese team's biggest player in the nightclub.
Oh like they have a really good track record versus them?
I mean they beat BX7 and DRG. He's looking great!
Like both of them.
Right, right, yeah, right.
They just cannot close it out.
Oh here is that punish proactivity again.
Not long this time.
They're reacting on B now.
Double chef no tough help though. They're reacting on B now. Double death note, double death note.
We need to speed up here!
It's taking a little long I'm not gonna lie bro.
Bro I feel like they waited for Wraiths to snatch over. Let's just go in right?
At that point it's late! They've already lost their duelists and we're investigating!
Yeah... They waited too long for Gantry to fucking take your timing. You already have three there.
I guess you're right. You already have three there.
I guess your right, they are like a bit scared
Can't get them to descend to his death and then fuck
Nobody in Smoggy gets to the front door and they knock, but... They're not allowed in?
Yeah Bobm uh...
Nah it's too fucked. Boo is playing B or A as well
Maybe they get into spawn
And try to clear that up there's not a lot of time
To pick this through
So awkward in the sky flash from Reigns
Oh he's gonna taunt but he's not able to dodge the flash
There's an opening now 20 seconds left Oh!
They need that down still, but... Yeah. This is a...
Oh, they're gonna come.
Nice! oh clinical right now from heretics even the little things man
little things are going in the way of Heretics 2.
Slowly creeping up B heaven,
taking your timing when the bomb is being planted.
And the protocols that I was talking about,
they're trying to punish the Cypher Lurk. They they get that done but on the opposite side of the map
you have a cipher you have a viper that are anchoring the b-site right
they're beckoning edg to run into that trap setup oh boy
the cage come up all of a sudden
oh boy hong kong is isolated and it's just
it's brutal right now nine three cope they've just gotten worse
that's purchasing off i had three cope nine three coat
Okay, let's go now. Let's go down watch they're gonna win this round
They gotta win this round tarik buff here taric buff your watch trained
I believe I still believe
They're gonna win this round watch
Fun fact Doug, I did tell him when I saw him in the bathroom
I wanted to see him buying up on the defensive side
and I'm glad that he did
I believe for the N, I believe for the N.
True story, I'm actually serious
Only four here we go One! Brooo
Only four, here we go. Lock in
Lock in Hadong
Wait if you want I can organize that
to get sent out a proper chat, you know?
Like the...
From the...
PT or Teemo or whatever
What they're talking about
So he's gonna give me a proper this place goes insane heretics have silenced this crowd
they've definitely asserted their dominance in this okay i'm trying to cheer against them i tried cheering for them but you can't help but feel like it is like the life
has just sucked out of here everyone is in shock okay sunset that's a really good map
for them we understand but but But Split should be different story.
Kukuka mentioned on the desk she was worried
and for good reason
but Nilsinho just kinda gave
the finger to all of that
I'm gonna go back to the clear all of that. And you know what, when you get rolled the way that Heretics got rolled
the second time around your way more confident going into a map like Split
The worst part is
they have to play Paper X bro
Fuck man This is terrible.
Oh my god! yeah i guess paranoia where he was headed overconfidence my bro what the fuck
i never saw this before just delayed they're gonna try to take me but they have all these trips That's not bad. Oh my god, that was great.
Oh! That one? Okay.
3v3 from the site now.
If they can get the bomb planted, this is where EDG have shined in this series.
They've spotted CONCON.
And that's their big success right there, you're right.
You just mentioned it.
This is where our success comes through.
CONCON fighting Pad Attack.
These post-mins have been good
and they're digging their heels in on this one.
Give us something.
So disciplined as EDG
Heretics are slowly creeping up So disciplined as EDG.
There.
Heretics are slowly creeping up, seeing if there's any mistake that EDG are making
but right now they're making none
Concon you might find this timing right here
Oh my god I Wait, Dennis?
I thought it was for a second!
Yeah, that rocket sent him like...
It almost went past them right? They could have gone past there.
Oh my god.
Wasn't that a 6-7 curse? It wasn't a 6-7 curse?
I didn't even notice.
Did he just go slow, no?
Yeah they just came out real fucking slow.
They would have gone to elbowed and I would've missed if they hit him. fucking slow. Man, Smoggy's sitting at 14 and 10.
It would've gone to elbow that I would've missed
if it didn't hit him.
Nobody else
at double digits.
Ten to half
the way of Heretics
EDG look worse
Don't ask me questions
I don't have the answers
to please bro. You guys are asking me questions I don't ask me questions i'll have the answers to please bro you guys are asking
me questions that don't have the answer to i tell you one thing doug i'm not sure at this point like
edg is really on the struggle bus and you got a heretic squad that is just looking like phenomenal truly
let's go ahead take a look at our hyper x reflex moment of the day uh because you gotta give it
okay you gotta give it okay
old james bond movies when he had the ejecto c car, like it just catapulted into the sky. What was that?
This kid is on his best days.
It's crazy to see Team Heretics
can go from
that previous split we saw the other day
to this having control over everything
leaving the exact space and reacting
to almost every single thing
that EDG is doing
And on the end, just look at
the end of this round. It happened like what?
Three times the EDG
ran out of time. They couldn't even get
the spike down.
It's very concerning to think that they attacked went this way, and it's really similar
issues to what we saw from some of the other Chinese
teams that have already been eliminated from the tournament
attacking sides where you're not getting enough
information. You're contacting and waiting
for a mistake. Oh God, we need a hero.
We need a hero.
And then you're losing these late rounds
and those mistakes...
I mean, they've snowballed.
Did I just drink for heretics?
Did I just drink for heretics?
Do you know who got all that information
on the Chinese teams?
Heretics, because they ran through it time and time again.
It was almost as if they got the blueprint
Okay let's go heretics
Let's go heretics close it out bro
13-2 bro Let's go 13etics, close it out bro. 13-2 bro! Let's go, 13-2
Fuck map 3
Lemme cook, lemme cook
13-2 bro
Okay, close it off
13-3 Let's send it back over to Doug and BabyBang. Let's go.
Thank you so much, EDG down 8 rounds.
You're on the boat now.
I'm on the boat now yeah fuck it.
Feel like you made it? to will them back into this map. Maybe it's off of ConCon's back, maybe it's off of Smuggy who continues to perform at...
There's gotta be a smug- there's gotta be something
to kill the blitzplanes!
This is so tough
because nothing has gone their way even though the 1v1s right now...
These guys are a fucking coach!
Heretics are gonna run it down- this might be a flawless round here no joke.
This might be a flawless round here watch.
...those post plans but this time it only accumulated two rounds for them.
Right and now you're going to have to deal with loot on the attacking side? But this time it only accumulated two rounds for them. Right.
And now you're gonna have to deal with loot on the attacking side?
Yeah.
I'm calling Flawless round here.
NardiHeretic's doing a 4-1.
He looked in the sky utility at A. Flash was invested. doing a 4-1. They're faking the Sky Utility
at it.
Flash was invested
and now The Dog.
They're keeping three players here,
it's a perfect call.
I don't know if there's been
enough really for EDG
to want to move
a couple of these players. two of them got tagged by the
paranoid with the only one who is not and he's gonna be the one on this oh my god He's able to punish
But he will fall
She's evil trying to wrap around pillar
Things slow down for just the moment as they talk now from EDG is come on maybe create a little bit more space hold it out is Nah. Let's try it, let's go!
It was close though.
Bro that what happens when we do our disc details.
But that frenzy was perfect for this situation that Reigns was put in.
Those close range gunfights all you have to do is spray and pray.
Imagine if you see the replay right here even the insta-dink right there?
Oh my gosh!
OH HE GOT HIM TOO IN THE BACK!
They look so good.
Like the winner of this plays against...
Heretic's win is this this place i guess
11 to 2. a couple members on EDG have to invest
And force up the stinger and the specter you have to
Alright now I genuinely think it's over.
Like, I thought that was over before as well.
If they want to come back into this map at all...
That they have to do something crazy. Something outlandish. This trip isn't broken either.
Oh my gosh.
Pesky one, out on the two bullets left trying to land a shot.
That trip was annoying.
He got what he was looking for.
Oh! Great opening!
Yeah, Choo-Choo finding some success
and that's A site shut down
so that's gonna funnel Heretics to speed up B.
It seems like EDG are
ahead of it too because Smoggy
and Chichu have already
started to lean. As soon as that kill came through
they started to rotate.
Remember it was Haurong who was the first one here.
The dog out through the smoke.
The cage goes up.
This rollout is really nice but Houdong not able to find any success on the other side of it.
A smoggy will fall too
they still have the two weapons invested and she choose sheriff strikes again
now finally falling from up in heaven getting a couple. A 1v1 and Booz gonna get the kill again!
Just when it seemed like Kaka was going to deliver magic,
Heretics gets a series point.
It's the same narrative as those 1v1s on the opposite side.
When EDG were on attack, it was Bungie and Nishe that was winning the 1v1s in this case.
Bro I'm so one-sided. The whole series...
I don't know why I'm so one-sided. The whole series. Honestly, the tank did everything he had to reload here and the patience of Moon was just tapping away.
I don't know honestly, EDG didn't show...
Securing the round win.
Yeah they didn't get to play.
They got suffocated.
You can't buy anything now for EDG, they have rifles, they have spectres.
There.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, they got suffocated anything now for edg they have rifles they have specters
no waltz online
chichu hit some really nice sheriff
shots
it's been borderline perfect up until
this point.
Wait...
Can I gank?
Fonk can get a couple of kills back.
Finally an advantage for EDG in one of these rounds.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Feels like it is though.
While all that's happening Hold up, hold up. No. Feels like it is though. Topson's coming up!
While all that's happening, all this B main pressure is happening Benji Fishy is solo
taking A ramp.
This is the inevitable at this point.
I didn't have the power cam so...
That will bait over...
He's staying out of library today.
...try to help his teammate if he catches out hot on here
This would be pig almost does and he does
The problem is while that fight was going on chichu started to rotate back a as well
The truth is heretics have a fully open map right now.
Yeah, I was about to say
that opens the middle area of the map
for Heretics once Benji Fishy sees this Viper
there might be a queue
for Heretics to maybe go back to mid.
They're going to lean into this this they're still coming this way sometimes just grouping up and healing your teammate is the right call just trade out
they've been so good at trading in this series so far. and concom from the other side
I thought it was gonna happen Concom gets a score though
EDG gets a 3
And The Rockets online for the duelist
Yeah, he had some crazy spectre sprays
First time in B main the little Collat right here
Thank you for playing, Marken
And then in the back of A site here
It's not easy to get kills with a specter this distance
ahead of you We pay out already?
Honestly, WJ is by the mods.
Come on bro! Why are you still staying? You're winning 12-3.
Oh my god they look so sad.
They look so sad.
They have Heaven. Oh my god. heretics at the beginning of the round they just sat past the pit they have heaven they
just fully get it oh my god they know if i present rope now intended to be made control It's ludicrous!
I'm reading this as to what I heard at the time.
With all of the pressure surrounding him, with all confidence he is able to get one make that a second!
The spectre and ghost on the other side, the paranoia out.
This might be too much even for heretics to mullock but Hong Kong will fall!
Can they upgrade their weapon from there? No I think it's a little bit too far away.
Oh my gosh it's beautiful this rotation because of the omen alt
paddy tech has having control yeah but he's already been flashed off they understand
where he is or at least have a good idea about it
and then booze upgrade to to Guardian in hand now,
but he's playing close.
In elbow.
Nobody and Smoggy both there.
They're gonna throw a lurk smoke?
I think they should do a lurk smoke, no?
No flash, no dog.
I don't know.
Just the smokes.
Too late. And as this fight continues to take away
Urgency continues to swell for EDG. They've got to go here
they've gotta go fast the first one through pad attacks still playing up in heaven like, that much but...
It took too long!
It's too hard.
It's too hard. short as the smoke goes down Wow.
Why are they so slow?
They had to make a play through the smoke.
They just waited it out.
They should have done a bug smokeout, right?
I don't know.
Hindsight obviously but damn.
I'm sad for them honestly. here didn't get to play today
characters look insane characters look so insane
the big difference maker on this defensive side on this map of split
what a phenomenal player a thrifty to seal the deal
oh that's as close what are my dogs perfect stop almost yeah as i feel like we've seen in a really long time because oftentimes you'll see teams get an early advantage but the other team claws their way back
into it right they get a couple of things together heretics for all intents and purposes Oh no, I was just holding my mic. I was fucking... I was breathing heavily.
I think... EDG played very bad.
But I wonder if it's because they played bad or Heretics forced them to play bad?
I want to say their gameplan was not good though...
I think its because like you commented the first match of the stage,
like, Eric Dixler had warmed up.
It's true.
I think three out of four first teams lost.
I mean, I voted Eric Dixler in this fashion
and I didn't believe that they were going to do it in this fashion.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude lost matches.
One close game kind of like how we played against FPX
and not gonna be this back-and-forth battle with two Titans.
And honestly, they did it with style points the desk talked about
wood in his creative satchels getting past conkong's aggression the rocket not connecting
rians was a freak i mean, every single player it was the synergy
This is too hard of a game i don't know
The trading was on point
The entries were on point.
Retakes, post plants it was everything.
We even got a Vamos Brazil out of there so I'm not really sure
what's going on there but I mean when you're
when you dominate a team that're they are loving it
They are loving it
It was very one-sided
Brazil as well, why not?
A completely dominant performance from Team Heretics
and now the Verizon post match interview
with Patatek
Hello everyone you with pat attack welcome to the post-match interview and now i'm joined by It's over already? The past series.
Welcome to the post-match interview,
and now I'm joined by Partitek from Team Heretics with us.
Hello.
Hello.
We'd like to make a short introduction to our audience.
Can you repeat the question? Would you like to make a short introduction to our audience yes
hello i'm patrick fabrovsky i'm best standing in
the world for Team Heretics. Hi!
Introduction to the card
Oh my god
Now that you have fought against Can you repeat the question? It's really hard to hear.
Now that you have fought against all teams from CN region, how would you define the playstyle of CN region?
How would I define it...probably with one word, kind of crazy. Not gonna lie. It's a completely different place compared to Europeans and Pacific. But they are pretty good i'm gonna lie he's captain bro he's trying to be nice
he's trying to be nice and it's too obvious it's too obvious, bro. Yeah! He's capping hard.
Bro I swear if you see like
5 minutes ago he was trash talking
this shit out of him.
... I also want to ask them, how much of the preparation for today's match is based off your learnings from the swiss sick um honestly the three days that we had
of after the win versus fpx helped us a lot
we prepared a lot of things that actually helped us to play like well in screams and
we actually showed it right now on stage so i would say that
those three days really helped us to solidify our gameplay and playstyle.
He said that he felt the experience of Rift was very important
They improved a lot during this time
Especially they were able to show their training skills They have improved a lot in the past two years.
Especially, they can show their results and achievements in training games today.
All of these learnings from RGC has made them more confident about their style and basics. I miss the basketball player.
I think we're just gonna play our game.
Like I said earlier,
we solidified our game style
to the point where
we are not scared of anyone
and I'm really stoked because we want to get the revenge against them.
Like, to be honest, we should have won
so it's really nice to have one more shot against them.
He said he was looking forward
to this match against them.
For him, it's just about getting ready for the game and doing what they're good at.
He is very excited that they can get back on their feet
and win this match which They should have won the game,
but they will definitely play better in this one.
Thank you to our POTATOX players
for coming here today.
That's all for interviews. Thanks for joining me.
Good luck on the upcoming matches thank you and i love you guys we are
bye Damn.
What's this? Team Heretics gets the win. 2-0 over EDG.
I can't believe that that happened, but let me rephrase that.
I can believe it, but not in fact.
They're even punting the the fact they took g2 we were talking about it when we were watching it and thinking about the other cn teams
that we had an fpx was just so incredible to watch and
some of how close they took
everything.
You know?
We expected a bit more.
Yeah.
I definitely expected more
from EDG.
But Wood was lighting the world on fire today Wow
Yeah, this was from the results of I could do that Joe I would be down. This is the matter of doing it
I doing it i believe for that top spot i don't want to tease it until i commit to it the best of days today but most definitely did and hell i'm gonna give flowers to icy because icey played great
today as well and for a guy who has gotten so much criticism,
he's had a lot of matches where he doesn't perform.
I think he has gotten better every game we have seen him here at Master Shanghai.
I think this guy is stepping up on the big stage
and he's been critical to this gg run
he was one of the main reasons why they were able to close that last night it's
not the same bro dominant as demerit was to happen yeah pulling off though was uh i'm not sure
i think the winners are in a couple days right that was just so long I was like, what's the place that they have to move? It had to be the coolest play of the event.
Yeah, it had to have been.
It was super cool.
Actually, I remembered Berlin.
Never mind.
Two-two revenge match should be good.
That one was wild.
Oh man, all right.
Well guys, with the playoff matches in the books our first round of playoff matches in the books
I should say here is how the bracket is shaping out right now
Give it a dedication to his craft
You heard patatek talking about that felt like they like they should have won that the last time we played.
PRX EDG, look at this lower bracket.
Paper X
EDG fanatic.
Talk about being the first seed.
Oh my god. This lower bracket is fucked. That's wild!
100 Thieves are the only team to win with the number one seed.
And they looked insane!
Bro,
100 teams and G2 might re-in the upper bracket.
Might meet.
Yeah, but I think it's going to be
especially that first one, the EDG paper.
After what we saw today,
I want to know how much this tells us about the fans and heritage
that you're in right now.
Both elimination games are tomorrow. Yeah for sure yeah
They're in Shanghai that's they got fucking on man

Okay, Chad, I'm going to close it out here as well.
But people are asking if I'm going to watch the phase match later,
the CS one.

I would like to, but...
It's kind of a pipe dream right now.

awesome but I don't want to promise it honestly why
