Think that those words that I stated over a year ago will come through.
Guys!
Guys!
The whole show is a pleasure to see them on stage, but hear me out.
The rest of the team, they are stepping up in the tournament looking at how to play
here like Simon, for example, Chichu.
It's so impressive to see that they are all becoming the whole package.
Yeah, it is.
And they just have one last hurdle between them and that trophy.
However, I want to know what you guys are home to think.
Tell us who is going to win today's grand final in our...
just me it's just me bastards so how do I how do I hello hello hello hello okay so
that's that that's that I'm gonna ask you guys one question who's winning today
what's up guys feels like what's up everybody hey guys okay
Terak is running late Terak is running late all right
going well so I might not be the person so I'm going to be I'm going to be taking over until
Tarek's back. We got um here let me see if I can pull up. Okay let me let me check all this
shit out. Okay there there's that that's cool. Guys we're here.
with them once they got to meet them is not only what they do on the server on
stage what they do with the fans how they behave in social media all right so
at the full package and the maps are going to be what's up what's up
split us out so that is not even a chance and the phase that we have gotten to
meet and to know about I am Terry bro I am literally Terry players you guys
understand especially it is such a special moment to have that team
Guys, we got the championship, the freaking finals today.
It's very wholesome there.
Hey, I don't know where he is, I don't know how far out he is, but let's see.
Having a chance to lift this trophy, closing that out by getting revenge on the team that eliminated every other Chinese squad.
Guys, who are you rooting for today?
Guys, who are you rooting for?
In your home country, would feel so good.
Who are you rooting for today?
is people I think people need to understand how deal it is for VCTC and fans to betray
EDG and to come here and support team heretics I met a few fans outside the venue last night
there are a lot of freaking people down stairs man there are a lot of freaking people it's
actually it's actually insane at this stadium is already filled up pretty much the way let's
Let's see if I can show you guys.
Do I sound fine?
Do I sound fine?
OK, they knocked out the teams that I'm cheering for.
Therefore, I will cheer for them.
They've kind of adopted that, but the aura,
I don't hate using this word, but they are.
It's already filling up.
The personalities that have been put on display.
It's already filling up.
It's very difficult to dislike them,
because they are all such lovable, humble guys.
I mean, the hug from Rianz yesterday,
we already touched on it.
It's moments like that, that just lock in that fandom.
So it doesn't matter what you come from.
Guys, he's here.
The myth of legend has arrived.
Yeah, I started it.
I started it.
We're good.
Do you want one?
How are we doing the same with this crowd?
But potentially, if a team can do it, it's definitely here it is.
Bring it in, Padatec.
The way that they have behaved throughout the event.
What's up, Chad?
Yo, shout out to me.
I should start the stream for you.
This is not just a team.
This is a family.
We win together.
We lose together.
What's so crazy, though?
How are we doing, baby?
We're good.
We're good.
Oh, hold up.
Hold up.
You're a legend.
myself
However, if you take a look at the best of five
They've been dominating in that department domestically, but can they do it internationally?
We've seen so many teams be able to get to their first final, but then the grand finals today, Vinnie.
Oh my God.
Get a round of applause.
Oh my God, acting here too.
That's how I was just saying. It's fucking failed to the brim.
Oh, it is popping.
Yo, this opening ceremony, I think it's about to be insane, by the way.
It's opening ceremony.
Is that what's happening in like 10 minutes?
18 minutes.
I guess, yes, that's good to know, but that is regional, that is their own IELTS, how do they look here in this moment?
I do question how big of an advantage the double bands actually are when you think of these seamst not pools in particular
EDG is almost guaranteed to get rid of these, they haven't been able to do that for a long time,
sometimes considered banning way to icebox, but just an even amount that's not as well
And if they wanted to get rid of the character's effects now, Sunset, that's also one of the 80th sense maps.
There's a lot of cross-over games, people don't stick to these two bands, they can actually give them a massive leg up, especially because it's a B.O.P.
I also think that if we look at what happened during the year, Sentinels made it through the lower bracket.
They still got that victory, even in Shanghai, where they presented themselves, but not winning it.
They still got to that fifth map getting this deep into the tournament means that your map will have to be strong enough
EDG has been doing wonders with the time that they have been given
I don't know what to say right now
Also, I feel like the team that I'm root for lately has been losing
Mr. Banzer, the victors met him and they all would be stronger because they don't understand bad
Like they don't want to either
Say the opposite
Opposite, so we're saying the opposite over here
Because we talk about how EDG have been able to play the best in the fight on the goer stage
I didn't know, but he's also never IG on in those situations, either on the GoPro, this is his first time,
and I just love the way he speaks about being an IG-er.
One of the things he said was, the reason that he enjoys it, but he loves it and grows so much,
is because he loves getting the match games right.
He said, get a kind of a, an IG integration.
He said, he has to bring you, and that is so exciting.
He's telling me it's like EDG is winning and taking this one home.
He's almost like Harry.
Something in the air.
It's the aura, it's the literal aura of the match that we have EDG winning, I can literally smell their aura.
That's how I feel.
This guy, this guy.
We had a night last night.
We went around town, we did our little thing.
It was fun, it was fun as shit.
the idea that we've reigned and so many vehicles bring to the
help of all of China and everybody to live with the rest of
the world.
And it is the day of reckoning.
If only I was out there, if only me and Tarek were out there.
We were talking about this earlier.
We're going to make a WASH Esports team.
It's going to be me, Tarek.
They seem to have been so hard to find by their strength.
Looking for three.
Looking for two.
Yeah, they're trying to get two.
It's actually...
I
Was watched
And put how long I see we got two guys who the shot
Too random to random
Rookie player a new IGL and they have somehow looked the most strategically
He was an artist who brought us to that.
He joined Kasset.
He learned so much.
Like that's when his full journey started.
You know who was in that Kasset?
The Bulgarian player.
You're crazy.
Hey!
They've been in such a big journey.
I want a hat.
They've always been grinding their way up.
Yes, they have hats in the goodie bags.
Dedicated up their youth to Kasset.
They're very goodie bags.
The fire flocks.
Very goodie bags.
The scouting of the ultimate Turkish talent on that rock.
Because of life reforming, yeah.
He's had an incredible story.
This is life alongside Mark.
The last time he was in a champions, he was invited as an influencer out there walking that carpet.
Talking about such a big fan of watching Connecticut watch.
He switched over.
I know, that's the story.
And now he's here beating that team and going on these tournaments.
Isn't he when at tournaments?
And Valorant too?
He's remarkable.
He's going to be with his players.
Not at Valorant.
Not at Fortnite.
Fortnite, I'm pretty sure we have some really good placing at Worlds.
I'm pretty sure he's a guard, I don't want to go with this, it's a poor guy.
I think his ratings are up there.
What's up dude?
What are you doing?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
We're partying.
We're partying.
Wait.
Before it gets a little bit crazy I'm going to go take a piss.
Good.
Are you doing good?
It's the university I got up here.
I mean to be able to make that run and potentially cap off your first year.
Welcome bro.
Good.
That was in you a while.
How's it been going? Have you been in Korea for a minute?
Yeah, I've been. Months now?
Yeah, you've been here for a while.
Yeah. Have you been in Korea?
Yeah, exactly.
You know Vinnie?
Yeah, yeah.
We're playing these games together as well.
Sometimes, yeah.
Here and there.
Nice. That's it.
We got a fucking big game here.
No.
Uh, the heritage of EDG.
It's nuts.
Yeah, we got strong in the mix.
Dude, there's so many people out here.
It's actually insane.
I'm saying like
Not only like the crowd is uh
popping off, but even like
some creators and like co-players and everything like that
Uh
What's, have you had a lot of good food?
Or have you had any good food?
They're teaching them so much
Yeah? You like working with them?
Yeah
That's pretty much it
Yeah, I've had a lot of good food twice as well
She's got a lot of my go-to
Remember how much criticism
when they found out that heretics were going to keep Booth.
They rebuild, they go in everyone else, they hit,
Booth, they give it to Booth.
I want a great decision, that was.
Imagine what that was like.
To be playing on the biggest stage the game has to offer
with your breath and lungs.
In your first year competing in this game.
Never been seen before.
No, we've never had this happen.
At least not in a Champions.
No.
We did, we did.
We did it, we did it.
I saw Leif is still here and I used to be here, I used to be here, we're about to have a rest here too, Josh, Josh RTS here, I have a ballon in, John at my home, yeah, I mean there's a long trip, I don't know about anybody.
and you guys have been here for a while so
I was in no show match, I'm not sure why I was in no show match this time around but
there's going to be this ceremony which is going to be dope
you guys know much about the Kpop group? I don't know much about them either
I don't think so, it's going to be sick, it's going to be sick
it's going to be a bit of a learning experience for me but I think it's going to be wild
Who's Yoni? Yoni's been on the watch party.
Well, one's also been on the watch party. It's been a long time. I mean, I think it was Brazil.
Brazil or Istanbul. Yeah, one of those two. It's been a matter of time.
Yonis are special. We're just here to, uh, glaze Benji today.
That's why he's having me on this here. Yeah, yeah.
I'm just, uh...
Benji's number one fan.
Clearly, it is impacting the consistency that he's able to have.
Grown prediction, heart prediction either or.
Damn near perfect from Chichu in every moment of the decision-making moment to hold it to the end.
To my use value, even if he's going to be taken down, he's always been taking two, three players down with him.
I feel like it could be close, but I still have heritage with him.
Yeah, some of the best, clearest, cleanest Valor that I've seen from an individual in quite some time.
And I think that the ADG end up lifting this trophy.
Let's have a video over here next minute.
Well, he's going to be a front-runner. Oh, or that MVP
We got squeezing, we got squeezing. We got a big boy coming in.
He's been showing back before this team. Again, like you said, we talked about...
What did you do last night?
We talked about smogging because he's been fragging out of control.
But Chichu has been doing all that for the squad.
I went crazy.
You must have been getting a lot of pressure that they've been put up on there, right?
For such a long time, he actually was late trying to see the entire region.
He's putting all of the hopes and dreams into how you can perform.
And finally, they're here.
Maria goes fucking off.
Yeah, last night was not a good time.
There's so many people out there.
I had no clue that place that we went to, like the area was an area.
Yeah.
I like, it was literally, we were like, oh dude, it's like, it doesn't seem like anything's
that crazy here.
And then we go a block over, and it's like a million people, like a million people,
and I couldn't move.
Yeah.
I got the high score on the punching machine yesterday.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, that was actually, that was actually, it was like, three points, you like pass
the guy below him.
Yeah.
It only took like three attempts, four attempts, but three, three, four, five,
Don't wear the EDG jersey and don't support EDG, you fucking gents.
Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, no. Go hard, sirs.
I got you, man.
We have a gift coming, actually.
Shortly, for you.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll be here soon.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Praise yourselves.
We are going to be doing that.
We are doing that.
It affects that shit, man.
What do you do?
What do you do?
You're throwing.
You're throwing, man.
Molly's all going to be used in conjunction with one another,
and with the rightful aim in hand,
It's the only thing that could steady to cause EDG, gotta put a stop to this guy, but certainly here still Kangang
Rattling the bars
I'm not a jinx anymore
Not
I hope that our team will not let you down, I hope that our team will not let you down
I hope that our team will not let you down
Because the words really gets brought in China, like we have a good team and now like everyone's in the one sport.
Oh yeah, I have a feeling for sure. I mean, I feel like also already the fact that they've made it this far in the first place,
yeah, like, I mean, China's very supportive of anything that has to do with like a big sports team or like the Olympics and whatnot.
Like, their support that they show to like their players and all that is insane.
I think it's kind of similar with Brazil too, like I feel like the games like Andes is like
very well, try not to think about how you're creating this down in your head, I mean I think, you know,
what does it mean to you to win, but also what would it be true to lose, you know, just grow to do more?
I feel like have they had like a huge representation in power yet?
Which I think is, in Shanghai it was the most people in a arena.
Oh really?
I was always the most one.
So I think this one is like this one might pop it. I don't know
Sick this was supposed to be 15
But now they filled it up on top too as you guys noticed
See it over here. It's pretty
Stadium is buzzing
There's gonna be a huge
And that is when you're afraid to fail the most.
I'm glad that it's like,
it's easy to say you have to pick a new player
and you should be so proud for even start.
Yeah, before the opening ceremony.
Exactly.
Being realistic, nobody wants to be the runner-up.
That's true.
Is this guy in the middle of sure a pro on some team?
Like I've seen him somewhere.
Which pro would he look like the most
if there was a Vinny off on that?
Asuna?
Asuna?
Okay, let me think for a second.
What about Xander?
My biggest regret is just making it to the biggest stage.
I am Xander.
You know Xander?
I am Xander.
He definitely knows it.
Fitty really wants to go pro this game.
Oh, too. He's got the opportunities, you know.
Wait, Trent, did you come from rank?
Or did you come from...
No, I didn't play rank.
Did you play rank?
What rank were you like when you first started?
First act I was diamond to?
I'm in 2. What was that?
Did you play that before?
You played Rust?
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
So you came from Rust to Valorant, and then you just
buy him two and he's grindin'.
Diamond two first act, and then the mortal three next act.
So there's no shade.
That's huge.
That's the start.
And then how did you end up finding a team
and chillin' like that?
I messaged like everybody.
He started messin' up.
He just messaged everybody.
Who gave you a try?
Who gave you your first try?
Oxygen.
And then I've trialed with Oxygen in the tournament.
And then the guard saw I did well,
And I got a shot with a guard
Austin was the first team you got a shot with yeah, that's a big lead
Pretty sure
Nerfs was the guy who found me
Nerfs probably saw me in ranked and then he was like
Come on Charles, wow
How old are you? I'm 19
Damn dude, that's crazy
Holy shit, so you turned to a what, like 17?
Uh, yeah I turned
17 in December and then in January I flew out to Texas
Oh my god
It's kind of how I welcome you to 17
It's kind of crazy that people actually do get scouted through ranks
That is, of course, Rian. Throughout the entire year, especially the tournament channel today, I think you're gonna have to carry him.
It's also interesting how, to me, that players from NA are getting imported.
month almost export it to all the burgers
let me feel free feel free I'm pretty sure most of common
work was from last year I think was ranked
maybe wrong actually I think Martin would be a good man
that's a French word right
He has that same problem. He could just take over a game where his util is possibly the place that denial on that
Yeah, exactly as well. It was just absolute perfection from him. I like the fact that I mean I haven't followed from here closely with the fact that
you can play inside of the game and like potentially get to franchise league. Like through the end game of the entire
uh... leaderboard
i'm right there with you to get it up
he's gonna be maybe the mvp
if heretics when he is my front-runner
and what you see
outside of this is uh... the guy
immense maturity for heretics right now i think it's reams right
reams is the guy that's gonna have the best of that
i wonder who's gonna get the mvp at the end of the ball
he's proved time and again
i get to vote for whoever i think is the mvp
of the match of the match of the event.
The series series.
He was the guy that let's go up again.
Yeah. And he really won the hearts of the man.
I feel like Reims has been doing the best.
But I want to see when you guys are voting.
When I actually like watch the games. I feel like Bulu has a lot of impact.
Yeah.
I notice he just killed everyone.
But his girls are very impactful.
I agree. His plays. His clutches.
And then we didn't, especially when they're down.
I noticed that he's the guy that has been making a play.
I get some rounds.
He's like there's Elsa she's like the vibe
Yeah, it will be incredible.
A full month led up to this.
It's going to be really tough.
Now these two teams just have to battle it out.
It's nuts.
To see who's standing at the end of the day.
It's nuts to think about it.
Rookie team have improved their ability to do that.
How much have they worked to get here?
Same series here for the side of heretics,
but this is that culminating moment.
This is where you need to be able to conquer,
rather than to crumble.
And if they cannot rise to the occasion,
I feel like at this point, what I'm happy about this
obviously is the grand finals, so it makes sense.
Both of these teams are in great form, and I wonder if there's going to be a case of like the nerves getting to either team at this point, because at this point you're like so close to winning, like you could almost face it, where, like, is the pressure going to get to him?
I know, when you were on the final stage, the major air, what was the emotion going into that game?
Personally for me, I feel like there's so much that's generally happening so fast, and it's like you're in the moment where sometimes you can kind of alleviate the pressure by just...
You're too locked in basically. You can't even think about the pressure.
You only see the four corners of your monitor, you only hear your teammates, you don't...
That's ideally the... sometimes it's tough.
When you're locked in, you actually don't even see the crowd.
It's actually just the monitor.
Yeah.
Unless you actually actively look for it, right?
If you can get to the point where it feels
like you're playing at home, then you're chillin'.
All right, here we go, dude.
That arena is shaking.
Yeah.
It's about to be nuts in here.
It's about to be the opening ceremony.
Can we get another rubble?
Is that a rubble open?
By the way, you guys want rubbles or waters?
Are you guys good?
I think a rubble.
All right, give me a second.
Let's take it all.
Thank you.
What is going on?
This is insane.
Now this is hard, bro.
Yeah.
You wonder about moments like this your whole life.
Thank you.
But when they actually come,
You just ask yourself are you ready or are you not?
Now I feel very calm, I am completely fine.
But I don't know how it feels to be on stage.
I don't have a chance to be on the stage of the finals.
I will catch him this time.
I
Want my first side playing battering there he is, baby, but I can never imagine waking up there
That's so cool. Yeah
What a story this is seeing the worst team in league with everything we've done everything we've accomplished
The thought of this whole year just being a dream that I could wake up from is terrifying.
I'm a single family. I've always been with my dad and my mom since I was a kid.
I need to prove to them that I have a place to go to and they have me.
Seeing my teammates lose and the Grand Finals was really hard-breaking for me.
I was really sad that I couldn't be there for them.
But now I'm here and we are not stopping
It begins in Incheon, Korea.
The fans from all over the world are here.
The news is that there are a lot of people here.
It's not the end.
It's the moment when it's made.
I'm afraid of nothing right now
I have to use this
I've been dreaming of this for a long time.
This is the dream I've been dreaming of.
What's going to go?
It's about to be hiked.
They're coming out. They're coming out.
Show them. Show them.
Don't worry.
Don't cut to the stage.
Oh, fuck. Here we go, Chad.
It's about to go down.
It's about to seriously go down.
This building is shaking.
Oh, my God. That's such a cool shot.
Is that rice?
Rice.
Rice.
Shush!
All the creators and shit.
We're like, we're like in a big ass club right now.
I can't believe I still don't know about the new agent.
I haven't even seen it.
I haven't even seen it.
I haven't even seen it.
I'm on Twitter?
I'm on Twitter.
Turn your mics.
Oh, is it?
Okay, I got you guys.
I'm gonna mute our mics for now.
Is that going okay?
Okay.
Also, I think at some point we're gonna say what's up to the camera. I'll do like a quick two seconds right here
I brought a blade, it got the shade that you see on my body face
That you boy, I need band-aids that I'm in the round stage
You get out of God, but you can't change
Making love to plant beans, you plant a champagne
Shit, by the way, our mics are muted because we don't want it to echo, but
This is fucking going hard right now
This is insane
Look at this fucking stage
Look at the stage
What's going on?
Yeah, they have the PCs below the stage and they just brought it up
Where's that trophy?
Let's fucking go.
Their hearts are fucking racing right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that stand.
It's him!
It's him!
That's that guy.
That's that guy.
Okay, Simon.
Okay, Simon, do your thing.
Do your thing.
Simon's like, it's all business for me.
Nobody.
Wait, what was that?
There you go.
I love it, I love it, okay, okay, okay, that's cool boys.
Damn, the glasses, all right, get some spanners on, change out, they love him.
Oh, he's got a, what is that, what is he wearing?
Yeah, I think he's on it from the League of Legends.
Okay, there we go.
Yeah, he's rocking that shit.
That man boo.
Man's too.
I think yesterday I saw, like,
Kam was walking off stage.
I saw it on Twitter today.
He was getting kind of emotional
as he was walking off stage with Rins and went over
and gave him a hug right after the game.
So, W Man's Rins showing that emotional support
even after everything.
Muzinho.
Let's go Neal, that was hard.
Let's go Potter, there as well.
That's fucking awesome, let's go.
I love it, I love it.
Snaps and pops in the chat.
Honestly, arguably, it's even more
hype for it to just be a ceremony and to match.
Like, no, like, just like, skip the show.
No show match, no show match is fun to be fair,
but I like the fact that we're just getting
right into it.
Like, all hype is on the finals.
Yeah.
Any show match on the different end.
Yeah, oh, that would be inspiring, right, yeah.
Don't take away the attention from the final I would have liked to see the new agent. I'm not gonna lie
Yeah, I just uh, used to see
Yeah
I like that we're starting on Avan because we haven't seen Avan in a minute as well, but yeah it is a good thing because those guys had a weird ass comp.
I wonder if heretics swapped their top today.
Team heretics not going to play.
Maybe. They should.
They should swap it.
In that Mach 5, if we ever meet them.
I don't know how they're called.
We saw the other day.
They brought us an entire team.
They must have been locked in at this point.
Nothing has a wonder.
Are they going to do it again?
It's come a long way.
The storyline is kind of cool.
They have so many teams.
Everything different but there's so many different storylines that exist. Everyone has their even like you see it for you guys
You guys are storylines ridiculous
So much that's it
Heretics are smart. Hey, it's right here by the way. They have this entire section. They own this section over here
Hearing a lot of let's go heretics. I also think the crowd buff is very real
Having the crowd on your side makes a big difference
So
You can buy the fans loves one way or another give us
Maybe get a minute to like
If he was at the event wearing the
Automatic
EDG was playing for, uh,
EDG.
You're over EDG?
I want to see if I'm a jinx.
We'll see if I'm a jinx after saying that.
What is it?
We'll see if I'm a jinx after saying that.
Okay.
We'll see.
Let's see who's a bigger jinx.
Being a student, I try the last.
I have a parent to set up everybody to shine.
I think it's going to be a good game
because EDG has been looking way better.
That's where we've seen EDG playing.
It's need-unriched.
Yeah, they're like warmed up at this point, right?
I heard nobody is the IGEL.
Nobody's IGL for IGL and I think they did that like mid-season this year.
Swap to this.
He's like really stepped out.
Because uh, wasn't how long ago he was there at all?
It was, right.
And they picked up Simon after like...
I think in a lot of ways that matchup will define this series.
Yeah, the other side of this as well, we've seen Boo up in here, while on the same side together, over and over again, taking advantage of that.
Yeah
Spotted
It's not genius, but it's kind of worked out in their favor a little bit.
Sidestone brand, let's fucking go.
I think that anything else is down to right now, two teams here.
Yeah, I think that's in the moment, or just a stronger foundation.
Alright, let's get it going.
Let's fucking go. One more shot of this crowd right here.
Oh my God.
I love this.
I love this.
Oh yeah.
Limits.
Also, potential chance that Graf has so far.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's fucking time for the finals champions.
We're getting so hinting at it, but we've seen only EDG
for both of these teams on Aver.
We're going to take it as we get into the pistol here.
Somebody's got to walk away with the win,
and EDG picking it, thinking that they were at an advantage
here to start.
I sat on A. I have no influence.
The player to watch and will be.
Rean's got to get out of here.
All grand finals, I think.
He's already backing up.
He's going to be censored.
He candid for team Heretic.
So at least on this A defense,
Rean's going to hold it down and back up.
That's a bad stunt to begin
They're comfortable playing retake
I wonder if they try to fade out U2 before they actually go for it
They have to
They have to back it up
For the next little gift
Both reach big
It's everything
They have paranoia
Yeah, they have to be U2
They have to be U2
Surely they have to put it on here
They could pop it up in hell here with aftershock and paranoia
They can use this very difficult retake
Unless they go ahead on the lands
Right at the finish
That's how the bait goes out
Still have paranoia
Still have paranoia
Yeah, it's helping up
I got to go.
Oh, that's not the best case scenario, man.
Oh, that's a good one.
Oh, fuck!
Oh, fuck!
Oh, my God.
That sucks, dude.
The nerves.
Yeah, that's nice.
It kind of didn't work out in their favor.
Kankank's so aggressive.
The paranoia that they're doing up.
Yeah, that is so hard, though.
Every take on the map is so strong, especially if they, like, get into the site the way they did.
Yeah, with a lot of skills, you can push it, you can boop, you got a hand, you can do this, and neon pick is what you need.
I think that's such a huge battle between these two teams.
We love the nuance.
But that entry players can get the more value, and that's not always kills that strength.
Strong start, easy.
There's no trace creation.
It's getting on my goal. They got two goals, by the way. A little risky.
There's not Steve, you might think he's gonna have a goal, but I like it.
the left xplow.
3-gown necessary out.
This is a heavy stack.
This might be able to reach the rewards in the ST.
Still the 1 for 1.
2BG now aware of the LL.
They only put the right stack, Karatix.
I don't know how, somewhere.
Somebody else use the right stack.
They got the Reeds.
Or whether they rehit.
Nobody over towards the A site.
It's gonna be a hard rotate.
Over towards A.
to get into position. They've read the situation wrong. Nobody. The beautiful call.
You guys got the intuition. You found the correct solution so many times in this tournament.
For a player that's new to IGL, and who's done some secondary call in the past,
it's remarkable. Thank you so much for this fake news. By the time he was crazy on his jump
Nice box.
I feel like more of a man.
Now they know that line of four.
Yeah, he's gonna stay in.
He's not moving.
He's even going.
He's got a lot of experience in them.
Oh, sorry.
He's new to that idea.
Oh, woohoo!
He just missed handedly.
He too is by himself.
He's got a 30 second shot case.
What is it?
He too is nice.
He's been playing nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like digging their time and shit.
Yeah.
It's like it's stressed.
There's a supported player if you've ever seen one.
I think you're two.
What is the addition to this?
Is this your G-tron?
Hello, hello, hello.
Perfectly placed again.
Hello, hello, hello.
Perfect.
It is astounding as well.
42 million viewers in the Billy Billy stream?
Yeah, man.
What?
Alright, two kills in an armor?
Not too bad. Not too shabby.
But they lost the two guns, but those are pistols.
Truly is remote.
That's why you're a true.
It doesn't matter. They just armor.
but they use the one with respect to Frank
so good he got
actually what they've done is they reduced their fracking a little bit by adding Simon into the team
he doesn't get the most kills
he's a silent supported player
yeah, this round, the guys
0.5 dg per round over the tournament
Guardian, Canem, Spectre
it's not the greatest bonus
but it is a big A fight
point from this guy.
Where's the connection between full control?
I like this play.
Yeah, a little more aggressive.
No longer trying to rely on that individualism to kind of
change games this easy.
I've been playing really well.
Oh, that did break the trip.
Yeah, it broke it down.
Oh, wow.
Uh-oh.
Yup, yup, yup, yup.
That's just unfortunate.
I speak of him and he gets the trip right away.
He's sad.
He's sad.
He's got reinforcements, fast replay it.
It's called out now by Heritage.
4.2 million arguably, that's sick, that's actually the same, 1 million, yeah, wow, here we go, that's one of them.
Whoa, it's, just like that, just like that, just like that, what happened, alright, that ain't no clue.
What happened in like, 10 seconds, in the same second, nice, nice, uh, swarm, that's the road to end.
But does he set up the rest of his team to get through the choke point to collect everything?
Absolutely!
That's pretty unfortunate that his shot didn't get through.
Did he get what they can and just use his cams?
Yeah.
I just can't because his cams have been pretty creative the way he's using my Cypher.
Yeah.
Doorframe, doorframe, and nobody is assuming Benji's gonna use the better one.
Still have a buy here.
That he tries out in this round actually.
Reans won off.
Am I gonna grab it?
All about it.
Little Mike Jims got through.
They can make the difference.
I'm gonna take this side.
Right outside of Lobby, drone is gonna get that clear connection.
Miniboo will punish inside onto him.
So played for his life but he doesn't have to concede this base up eventually.
Wow!
That's a good one.
That's pretty unfortunate.
I'm not gonna lie.
Connecting.
All of this though has denied EDG.
DDG so they're worried that people could be short mini move could be pushed back up into position over
The left cuz this
It's like that wall right like one of the barrels right there
We can try to like pull it off.
You have to hit the right.
Oh, push the smoke.
Contact.
Just pull it.
Cheat you.
That's tough.
Equalizing back up.
Yeah, good calls though.
We're impressed by that.
Four, nobody.
Why are they going back this way?
The A side.
And I have the three though.
27 seconds left.
They're going to go over towards C and guess what?
And they smoked it off as well.
Have arrived, Benji.
Fishy and Minibu once more.
There we go.
It's about to get hit.
Spot is hard.
It's about to get hit.
Oh!
Yeah!
Stepping up
Oh
Yeah, the photos
It's fine, it's fine
That's not, that's probably four.
But it's just that skewed the jewel in that sensation.
Why's he die here?
I'm not gonna lie, yeah.
It would have made all the difference here.
That was a, that was a good thing all the way.
I mean, Team Herri's exploring a bit.
But this version of their composition,
when they go back to something a little more...
I was gonna miss it.
Was that you talking?
Way, way better though.
They're talking about, oh, they're giving you a safe call.
Early running against them.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, how did he not die, right?
I don't know.
It looked like I was on the set, too.
Discussing as we were heading out.
Pause for me, DG.
Discussed as the time.
I've been so impressed by the gear of course this tournament, the way most of that wind are losing on the stuff, it's like an art preparation.
I feel like they are landing you down to the final gear.
The roaches are like there always.
They throw you through a loop as well as switch out to one of the old ones.
It just throws your preparation out of the wind.
I feel like EDK's coaches are telling them they're starting to adapt to the ground.
They always have two A's.
and they're also trying to hold C at the same time.
It's about the night that's coming.
Good bye, everything.
The fellow, you just need a group up.
Two losses for Heretics, one loss for the others.
Two losses for EDG, one loss for Heretics.
But, also, the map advantage that EDG have for being able to come up a bracket.
It's early days, it's very early days.
They used it to get rid of a map that Heretics would have found anyway, ascent,
and icebox, which, you know, Heretics have looked pretty decent on,
but to be honest, that's somewhat middling territory.
Good pause though, momentum is stacking up quick.
These rounds are also so fast by the way.
Wait, EDG had two bans, right?
It's 4-4.
Yes, they're coming from uppers.
Wait, they banned Ascent and Ascent is paratix perma.
So they must not like their Ascent as well.
They didn't want to risk it, I guess, huh?
I guess not.
Yeah, that's their perma pool here.
Yeah, that's their thing.
It's so even today.
They kind of dropped that.
I guess EDG doesn't play either.
Yeah, that's the only thing I do.
Straight through to smoke.
That's a hard clear there, I agree.
That's a hard clear there, I agree.
But they're going to be running into Benji, so he's going to break this.
He needs to start putting someone's feet in the break.
He needs to start putting someone's feet in the break.
That'll probably just be to get him.
He can't like 3 rounds, so he uses that a lot.
He's not being able to have this timing.
Benji has a lot of maps actually.
What they saw here by Heron, 6-2-1.
Good to know.
Yeah, he's trying to have a good timing here.
Into the retake now with a paranoia, but that's a big miss.
He's going to be expected!
You know what?
That's not good.
I'm not going to have a problem right now.
Double shake you out.
Definitely nerves.
These guys are too fucking good.
That's disgusting.
Both of these teams are set up in some way.
I like the early aggression.
They're getting information. They're getting a peg.
They have one super hard entry player that loves to make space, take the reins, try to get those opening kills.
We got to get you on the on, bro.
Me as well.
I think it's perfect in that sense because they just go in, they just slam it, it's firmly closed, the team heretics have a corner-run on the team, they're double ego, this is not the beginning
You're on muskies here, nah, not this time, not this time, I don't think, they're doing this, sneaky boy
I don't know if they can hear it, I guess not, no way right, it's pretty far, it's actually true.
Sound on stage is...
You ever try running when like it's very loud, like, because you know that it's so loud in the arena so much you tell?
And I've actually like tested it, like just in the range.
It's a nice spot for the match.
The circle is only here like 75% of it.
Oh, so you can like assume it's a little smaller on that.
Yeah, it's a little smaller.
You should give us some time to think about it.
We're taking that.
We've just done a range for it.
We're taking that.
That was in terms of the wall's A.
It's being faked out by EG.
Shaxx will take it for the next stage match.
So you're just intending to pull players away.
And he's hoping that there's no teams.
Oh, man.
Look at Mini Boo and Pats waiting for these lurks.
Whoa, what a flash.
Oh my god.
Good flash.
Holy fuck.
Oh, that's a guy.
Oh, she's still cool.
Oh, Benji.
Oh, Benji. That's a Benji round.
What?
You're not coming out unscathed.
Yeah.
Now what is going on?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, he's gonna get the old CTK day.
Oh, no.
He's gonna be brutal.
Run.
Still collect, so one.
Two, three, two, four seconds.
Oh!
What the hell is he doing?
Bruton!
Wait, why did he?
Has he got on the pet spot?
He was on the pet spot.
He's dead, but he didn't want to plant back.
Sorry.
But the time, that's like, that's a surprising combo.
You've got to play T-Rex in both hands.
Barbs, baby.
You can't allow.
Holy shit.
That's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's
I've been in the game for a long time, but you're pretty sure that they were all over the course of the season.
You've got to go for it.
That's cool. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
I was when he gets his arrow, showing it.
The show? Yeah, I think, yeah, yeah.
Maybe sometimes with the gun too, like right before you.
Narrow margins, indeed.
Five to two, another buy-around, EDG, we've come to the line.
The show, the fuse, damn.
Damn, actual real question marks in the chat for once, you guys are right about it.
Good job the pressure. This is champs. These guys are pros
For some not even champs going finals and finals and challenges. It is nerve for sure
big moment
Cyber on cyber here. He's got a good Benji trip by the way bottom C. That is ridiculous
Right, I don't know if you would hear that if you're close to someone similar to the right away
I'm trying to play each other.
Who knows the angles?
I want to say maybe I'll land, but I feel like you would here otherwise.
If you think.
He's got a backer for arriving.
I don't know. Maybe if it's a little closer to a zone.
I think it's good for them.
They don't have to look too long.
Benji's a nerd.
Yeah, he's got these little tidbits.
All right.
Especially if they're going back.
They're falling loose of his own as well and still with 30 seconds to play with it.
They're going into the ball in thunder.
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
This is where the treats are.
Seat trip for info.
Yep.
And that's already starting.
Oh.
It worked against him.
Oh.
That's a big hole.
No, we're like in the club.
Just done.
Really good to run.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
It's the whole kid.
It's the whole kid.
It's the whole kid.
5 seconds for the boy!
Somebody play the turn!
Oh!
Dude, you know what I'm saying?
This is so sad, dude.
We just ran around everybody in class.
Yes, dude.
There's so much, so many freaking walls on the side.
Dude, I lost track of that.
I lost track of this, dude. I'm not gonna lie.
You better observe this.
I think it's the bar.
When the X2 comes in, it's a good screen,
and we should get two POVs around.
The one who is not enough
We should use everybody else
What a kill he is
We're missing, we're vouching this
We should just put a Cypher can on top of Scythe
So we can see the whole fucking trap
All of it
So can you break that down now for me?
What did you just see there?
So basically I just saw a bunch of bullshit
A bunch of bullshit is after this fuck
So, yeah, if that happens
I'd probably win the set
If I had to describe it in one word
catastrophe. They won't be higher stakes than this. I think they all, I wonder if they see that
smoke bottom C now and they're doing it. They got it, they got there in time to see it, you know?
Yeah, there are these three's there and the fuck is worse. The kill collected.
It's not going their way. I feel bad for EDG because like the rounds they've lost,
like the fashion they've lost is pretty hurting, right? Like, it's a mental way they've lost
They're not breaking any of his stuff. They can have 4A, doesn't even matter.
Was Benji playing Cypher on their previous comp?
He was playing Killjoy.
It was Killjoy, I guess they're go sage.
Yeah, that anti-stracted of cost of them, but I feel like knowing Benji does this on every map.
It's a domino effect right now, it's not looking great, it's really not looking great.
He gets one here, he gets one.
Oh no, oh my.
The leads are crazy.
They're hitting shots right now.
He knows he has to take risks.
He knows the matters.
He can be taken into his own hands.
This has to be the round.
This has to be the round that I've pulled off to you for.
He's going to be cheating.
They've got bodies. They've got utility.
That was nuts.
You're on display.
It's a massive class of the three-nose.
I think EDG did that.
EDG.
I think that's the advantage.
I think that's the advantage.
I like that.
I like that.
They kind of bump into five badgers.
That's the perfect answer.
That was it.
That was a...
That's the blank type of shit if I'm being honest.
No, that green stuff is insane.
They earned that way to the same.
Like our preliminary was sunset and if we got into a grand final from Lowers and
they banned sunset for us, oh my god.
Our promo ban was Sunset and if we got into a grand final from Lowers and they banned Sunset for us
Oh my god
I just go into the game more confident because I expect it to play
Now i'm like hard prepping for it. Yeah, and now they banned it for us and now we're helicopter
And like you also said the fact that it's haven we already know
That's since heretics lost so hard on even that content was coming regardless. Of course like that was coming
And EDG, like they picked it, the commas, once they picked it, they should have also realized that they're going to change their comp, yeah, like there's a decent chance they will.
So like, well played by Heretic, like, all things considered.
Hope EDG's coach is telling them to break the trap.
I don't think they realize, dude. I don't think they realize.
I mean, wherever they're going, there's been like two or three, at least.
and compasses heretics
the only way that the other team would know that is if they're just instantly checking what you're doing
they tend to be bottom four, they have even more utility on the other side
they will potentially not flash in the pan at the three different places every round too
yeah I think Benji's reading that too so he's putting even a trick in the showcase
so they think it's broken but it's not actually broken
he plays it well in the sense that he doesn't like
he picks the streaks the rounds he does a lot
yeah Benji's really one of a solid, solid, really solid
one of the best
something quick, Pacy. See how much deeper the trees are from Benji?
Faking like there's a pressure. Yeah.
You told me we were glazing today, so I gotta glaze Benji.
Exactly. We're on the, when the glaze train.
Similar game plan by UDG though. Yeah, come on.
Somebody investigates Smoggy, that motherfucker is throwing.
Oh, come on.
This is gonna make erotics...
I was confident about that.
Wasn't quick, Pacy.
No, it really has been sad to see the way these rounds have been lost with the Gs, and I think they realize the small mistakes they've made.
I like that I hear them just slowing the entire game down, because it feels like it's kind of running away from them too.
And heretics do enjoy reclearing.
Oh, does he get a weakly style from Sunsen?
Oh, yeah.
He's supposed to be doing that against Led.
No, he should.
He has dark.
The crowd goes crazy.
He has dark, and they're playing just 1-1-1 everywhere.
So they should.
He's about to hit it.
He's about to hit it.
He just jump-spotted C and full rotated from C.
Yeah, 35 seconds.
Does that stack?
One more?
It's looking scripted.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, in terms of the scripting,
I'm not going to be stacking it.
But they did nothing.
He knows that it hits coming in.
It did nothing again.
Side step, full line, not connecting there.
I can't hear this.
That's incredible.
They're nervous.
They're trying to make a play.
This is some words of inspiration for the EE fans.
Right now they're starting to lose hope.
At the end of the round, she's your at least.
She's your supplier.
Again? That's like the fourth time.
The third or fourth time, dude.
The fucking world is happening.
I have never seen a game like this, bro.
The way the rounds are breaking down a little bit.
Three huge rounds.
I mean, they're still not breaking as usual.
Lost to the clock.
At this point, you just got to hit the ground.
They practically lost to the tripwires.
The crowd is literally giving the most insane call out.
Yeah.
They're breaking the time that they might be taking.
There's no way they're lost.
Only the first picture.
They are, for sure.
Breaking the sound barrier
Holy shit, holy crap
Same see what they can do they're out of a lot of balls as well
The best place I've been working
At least they have more time to plant the ball
We're gonna back off and start to respect some of this utility
8 on defense is the same, yeah.
8 on defense.
You just lost 8 rounds in a row.
Aratex are gonna be happy to win 8 in a row.
Step up, disrespect you Tom.
This is not the EDG winning pistol.
There's so much value.
I mean there's 3 there.
So much value.
So strong.
Fagging again.
The heavy reels.
There's nothing off the scaling this from EDG.
They're gonna try and go in with three forces to play.
Tata put over.
It's pretty hard man.
They're already here.
I think the status is taking so long.
take the time in but the stand connects in for a bite.
And he's so long to kick the side.
Come knock into the side, but it's all about this.
What's the delay?
Why are they so stalled?
They just stood there.
I don't know.
Why couldn't they put smoke?
They didn't want to put smoke.
There's no possibility.
The garage player.
Spikes in no one's land.
The garage what?
It's a garage player.
Yeah.
Rotated in time is where they got up.
He's falling and breaking the enemy's cypher,
you tell he's not been able to pull off these big lurgs
Now the rest of the team has to sit there silently
Sorry
What was it? What was the heritage or what was it? No, there was a 9-3 comeback.
I confirmed that. Which team was it?
I think they lost in the end though. I think it was a fake comeback.
If it's the game I'm thinking about, wasn't it on Icebox?
Oh, oh, left. Left?
I think it was left.
They brought it back on Icebox and they won?
I think they might have lost actually.
It's not a boring grand final type as far as we guys see.
I feel like it's fucking sick.
I mean they're getting rolled but in the fashion they've thrown these rounds it's impressive.
It's entertaining in that sense.
I'm sorry I'm being a dick but it's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just to provide some safety to big old though expended.
Nobody having this for the last round.
I want to know what you're calling it.
Is this going to be a breach?
Oh, they go A.
Oh, yeah, they're going to fuck.
This is a weird thing.
This is a weird thing.
This is a weird thing.
Because the lurk died before the take.
You say it's ruined.
I was the point.
I was the point.
I was the point.
Actually, yeah.
The lurk though.
That was the point.
That was the point.
I don't know if that was the point, but it works better.
Wait, that's like cool.
If that was the intention, cause that's fucking genius.
Lurk goes for a kill, that'd be fake.
I actually love that.
Yeah, cause then you're like Lurk's dead.
They're fitting us right now.
I think that's no joke.
Like guaranteed.
But then if he gets into a good spot,
then you still do the fake, and now he just has more room.
Or he gets a kill, and you just go back.
Whatever.
Either or.
Nobody's going to hold on one time.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh, that looks so fun.
Oh.
What are you doing, though?
I don't think he hurt anyone.
Oh!
No time.
Oh, no, no.
You got it.
I think we got it.
Oh.
Listen dude. Oh my God. What did I say?
I'm sorry. What did I say?
I was going to go on and say, I want this shit.
I don't want this shit, motherfucker.
This is all right. This is all right.
What's this shit?
Very little.
It's everything.
I don't, I don't, I don't foresee it.
I don't know if I do what you're doing, but I'm just not getting hyped.
I just got to get hyped.
You're not bringing energy.
That was very close.
The wallbangs literally went two, six seconds earlier.
The only problem with that was Simon peeked him when he got two hats.
Not even before or after.
He gave him the exact time to kill him and then defuse him.
You've got to count to three or six.
You actually count your heart during this moment.
You were on the screen for the opening ceremony for .5 seconds.
How was that experience for you?
I'm going to meet Cruz.
She is actually trolling us.
What was your experience?
She's talking about him being on screen.
He's nervous.
You were on screen for 0.5 seconds.
That was just...
Very excited to be on the show.
Had a really good time with the show.
What would you like to say to the players?
I love it. I love it.
Nothing else, both for the try-man.
Yes, he is.
But he is a good player, so he is a good friend of mine.
So we talked about today's matchup.
Lastly, please say a few words to the fans.
Any last message to the fans?
Thank you very much for watching us.
My love to this guy is so good.
This is awesome, bro.
Thank you for your support.
And we will meet again next year.
Let's listen to the host.
Blister
Nice
EDG have had a little bit of breathing over here.
They've had another opportunity.
But I would love to see that.
But they've had many already.
I would love to see it.
The pistol is there, I think, so.
EDG loses the pistol.
So far, Heretic's a bit of a dumb nut.
Absolutely.
Not going to say it, but it's possible.
EDG just trying to get the read.
He knows.
Have you stopped it?
Let him get it.
Yeah, he's already playing for his own counter.
He counters himself, because he knows he's the same.
You know this guy is really good
In their pistol rounds over the course of this tournament, they of course won the first to open up to me here
They have to read it. Let's see how they hold it. You G might have
Reinforcements of rhyme with Kang Kang and Simon you still held
Listen a space of it
Yeah, this is totally over.
This is definitely done for.
There's always next map.
There's always next map.
We're from 9-3, there's always next map.
Startle down, slow smogging.
Begin this retake.
Yeah, it's a 2v5. What's up? What's up long? What's up long? I said, I mean you till in Spain
Just cut them out of the picture here
He came as soon as his contacts recognition
Bodies
This is again, there's no
Dominance they've come to this tournament might be a good
I'm like, I've never seen that on a run away game.
That site smoke took way too long.
Big gear to go up the road.
Ah, I expect.
Indeed.
Well done.
The first fault line, though, from Wook, caught onto two players.
Miniboo went for the start.
They're going for the equal, so let's read.
Actually, and they still have the game.
I'm gonna make sure, when anything's possible,
I think winning this ego is too hard, if you force.
I think Team Heretics 2 on their attack side
generally gonna be a bit better than EDT
Going around
When you force on defense
It's very hard to control it is a series of us on either
This a lot more you told in you
That's why it's going and the map is so so big you probably have losing
Let's respond with one.
It's gonna be 12 HP there.
Falling, but Phantom, guarding,
Spectre on the other side.
Cancun would have to land some more mighty martial shots
to make this one winnable.
Oh yeah, it's martial time.
Pick up!
Fucking pick up!
One shot, two.
Do it, do it!
With a heart attack.
Yeah!
Wow!
Attack him, though.
He could tag him.
Yeah, he could tag.
Take a tag.
Winnable?
12 HP, 1v3?
So winnable.
This is a...
I don't know about that.
Wow, wow.
That's a tough one. Stay locked in. Come on. Every team in the history of Valorant that's made back-to-back finals won at least one of them, the first or the second.
EG last year.
Somewhat similar after heretics.
We talked about that with a Cinderella story, something you might never see again.
And the comparisons are not exactly one to one.
But a team full of very inexperienced players.
Okay, Silver lining for EG.
When you get owned this hard, it's not that bad because you don't have a chance so it's easier to reset.
The most dominant team of the year at the second event, I mean...
That's a difficult...
I'm not really...
Oh, there we go.
EG sorely needed.
11 is like it's like exhausting.
Four play here, 3DG.
Oh, when you think you're in there,
massive resources to lock it down.
It's awesome to be here.
This is kind of something that
I don't know how to say it,
but they really have to hard reset.
That's going to take a big talk from the couch.
There's two sides to it.
Yeah, by getting on so hard,
you lose a lot of confidence
because that's out of it.
Yeah, a bit of a handshake
with the drones there.
Just trying to get that information.
Oh, wow.
Nice shot.
Nice shot.
How are you guys?
Definitely did.
Uh-oh.
Right there.
And she's got up.
She should have an idea though,
Right, six position.
Especially with that three spot.
Protocols of EDG still.
Wow!
That's great, Benji!
We're getting away from murder still.
So solid.
Enough to ace.
Just to finish up this round and just not anticipating it.
Kacking already up onto the line.
Next map of Sunset 2, it's Raps.
Yes, but not this game.
The mistakes are haunting them.
Like I said, that first half is...
It hurts.
Eric's the way they lost those rounds.
The Omenold, the Breachold.
There's a 1v2 at some point, I think.
Opening kill was clean.
Look at their faces.
They don't look like they're having a great time.
Smoggy got online.
Look at that inside.
We get the Lotus later on.
Third map.
I am sure you will see.
Smoggy absolutely farming.
He's amazing.
One round at a time, right?
On the Omenolds.
It does sometimes take him a while to get one up.
Build up the Oles.
I don't know.
So far for him.
At this point in ranked, my teammates
We've given up, and honestly, if we keep trying to win, we're gonna lose, so just have fun, guys.
Don't think about it too much.
Wow, so much value.
We're just trying to break the trip, too.
Love that trip. That trip is so, so good for B post-plant situations.
You get the plant down here, and the retake tries to come through that.
It's very tough. It's also good for info in the mid-round.
the mid-round because you know that people haven't recled through
the map.
See how he can just hold all of it because this angle is so crazy.
Making it a bit more difficult for EDG to try.
However, it's a hard angle to look at.
So close to the wall, just to clear as well while you're coming out.
How an eye of held.
Hands are smoking.
It's coming in soon. Let's see.
He's going to have to follow up on this himself.
This is a hard play to pull off though.
Long game by mini who's still alive here with 35 seconds. This is
Yeah, nobody's sitting on that pressure
He's been holding us down since the start of the round in garage. He's gonna be tested
To be the difference flashed
Fights off the shots going on. I know exactly where he is at least they shot
To
got away with that. Oh my god Benji. What the fuck? Let it sing brother. Getting a picture?
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I want them to get in the server. Let's fucking go.
You still believe or no? I do. I do. He's the day one. I never doubted them not a single
time. He's from the beginning. I don't believe it's the beginning yet but I've been
believing in my team. I would love to see it. 83 million at one. Yeah.
Oh, Lee, they've already accomplished the unimaginable goal at Champions.
He had a G2 jersey on.
Lee, he did.
Let's find that guy.
Let's find that guy.
Come on.
You found him.
Let's find him and convert us to the same guy.
I'm sorry.
So important.
Keep the morale in check, understand that it's one round at a time.
What's happening to the smoke?
What makes the best?
He broke the trick.
He does the most.
He knows the most.
If you have that composure.
He's just fucking...
just like just let that thing go right oh no it took it back
we put another one
she too put a top team but like to get out of there
oh like that bottoms he broke it
he caged the ground and we spanned it with an equal
they love pre clearing garage
personally i wouldn't take that but i would
could be as lucky to replace it
he said fuck you
he put his last trip there
Now he's resting. That is smart.
This is the half five for Heretics. Honestly, the scarier rounds.
These sheriffs just, you never know.
The sticker in the hands of these Heretics players, but...
Stinger on Neon is down to 11.
Yeah.
I don't know when the next round is going to come.
There we go.
They're both flying. That was a good flash.
Oh my God!
What do you got?
What do you got?
What do you got?
See if you can have a little bit.
Oh wait, he's 15.
That would have been a kill there.
Why am I scared?
I like that.
So much danger.
No idea.
13 seconds though.
Oh, that's bad.
Yeah, a better chance.
What's that?
They stay alive in the market.
They're coming back.
Breach flash might have saved them.
Cause I think Minibu would have instantly killed Sova.
Yeah, the breach flash coming in.
The breach flash would have been insane.
With the paranoia as well.
They got saved here, I'm not going to lie.
We got to get on here, dude.
Let's learn down together.
It's almost like it's the experience.
Run in and go crazy.
That might be what stopped me from getting radio.
One point
I'm not gonna lie
That's like
probably go
Land is different it's like one of the things that you've got it's right. It's all like reaction time. It's a good reaction time
You'll be good. It's often drifting towards sea. Yeah
But if he is towards
You should be able to take a long control a little easier at the start of these rounds
If that was the read EDG already
It's gonna be a delay take
Seeing teams do this that show presence with the sova
So fighting or feign like it's only the one holding that smoke and this is going to be all that's news
laying in way
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Actually, it's more motion.
I was already at 2v1.
You can get yourself in there, try to play ahead of the timings.
We both closed the open.
We literally watched that fight explode.
Here's a footstep.
Uh-oh.
Oh my god.
Shit.
You can't do that in counter strike.
Get off the ball.
Half a second and kill him.
I'm kinda concerned.
That's broken.
To expect you shoot that early.
Yeah, it is.
No, it is 100%.
You got to the site.
What a really fast timing.
Look at how dashed this week.
Look at this.
Look at this shot.
He goes to the burler.
He goes to the burler.
Oh wow.
It's just so fast.
But heretics now.
That's impact by the way.
That's impact by the way.
With great trading, beautiful impact.
They're up to 12.
What is this, a wall?
Or is it a cage?
One more step in stone.
All the stands between them and the map.
Oh, interesting.
For the first time, EDG go for the walk down mid.
The team has a lot of it.
Full ult, baby.
Send them away.
But you see that?
Clearing out most of the side.
I think it's 5A.
Sticks it down into hell.
Cypher's in.
Cypher's in.
Easy access.
And it's a cage long.
It's only seven seconds.
It's like, OK, it's based on how we're going to do this.
If you went around up the line right now,
you get it, take it as long as you can.
Even in his face there, it's offloaded.
Ult's rattled back.
is that we're going to see into the night to lazy space
to these players on the front of you to cheat something has been left alone.
What are you going to do?
Oh, he died.
What was that?
It's a cleanup crew arriving in kind.
Down from the side.
Oh my God.
What is going on there?
Oh, okay.
This is not it.
Oh my God.
What the fuck are you doing?
I
They don't attack, have to do more shit.
Oh, he's a cheesist.
He's a cheesist.
Do more shit on attack to stop them from having so much influence.
They have to just go back and forth.
They know people are better than you, right?
Yeah.
I'm gonna go use the bathroom.
Oh, it's your gift.
My gift here?
Trent, by the way, thank you for coming on, Trent.
I think, thank you for coming on.
I'm gonna have new guests coming on.
So I appreciate you guys, Vinny, as well.
Shout out to these boys. I appreciate you guys.
guys. Yeah. Yeah. And Yoni as well. Shout out to you guys. Love you guys. I appreciate
you guys. What's up? Shouts out. Shouts out. Shouts out.
GG. Damn. What a game. What a game. That was fucking nuts. I'm not gonna lie. That was
fucking nuts. My hair's a fucking mess, chat. My hair's a mess. So fucking frizzy.
And get 800
Putting that aside. Oh my god. Oh my god. That was fucking beautiful. That was some beautiful Valorant.
Heretics are playing so good. I really do feel for the EDG guys because the way they lost that first half is kind of hurts. It just really hurts.
We got Ray and Gang joining for the second map here. We've got guests for all the games, for all the maps.
I set it up in advance this time because I'm a good boy.
So we're going to have some rotations with these parties.
And yeah, it's going to get exciting.
Let's take a look at this stage here.
Hey, guys, don't call me a bald king, please.
Not bald.
My hairline is running away from the rest of my face.
I don't know why, because I literally haven't
thrown anything to deserve this, really.
What time is it?
Over here, it is 4pm.
It is 4pm.
I should've got that.
Guys, do I get it?
We're not getting a transplant.
We don't need a transplant.
You look great.
Guys, tell me how I look great.
Tell me how I look great.
It's not gonna help.
It comes from the inside, really.
Why do you think nobody copied Fanatic's comp in Haven?
Brother, I could not tell you.
I could not tell you.
All I know is that this somehow worked out great.
Okay, does anyone know why
BDG bands
Ascent if it's heretics perma bin like do they really also not play it at all like I understand not having reps on it
I understand that maybe like it's been a while since they played it
But still if it's their permit then surely you take advantage of that
Am I gonna buy any Korean skincare? Yes. I already bought some actually all of young
I want to go back to on to get more. I want to buy way more
Gathering my head fuck off
But no, it is fucks
I just fucked my hair.
It's okay though. It's okay.
It's okay. Just like, I'm gonna be a bald king one day.
Maybe I just do shave it all off.
I wonder how it'll look.
You look like a cutie patootie gang.
Dude, we went out last night.
And like, dude, we were getting...
Well, Vinny obviously was getting fucking recognized.
But even me, there's a lot of people like,
not even only people that live in Korea,
but people that flew to Korea to watch the event.
Like from a lot of countries.
Honestly, so
Worldwide is how I would describe it
Stop punching it. Yeah, my OCP is kicking in a little bit. It's okay.
Close to the hall of the skincare. I can do that when I get back home
I'll show all the stuff I got because I did get a lot of stuff already
But I want to get way more also for my family a couple friends as well
I'd take advantage of it while I'm out here Korea known for their skincare
Korea known for their skincare
Why do you wear the same shirt every watch party?
I'm not wearing the same shirt, bro.
How does it feel traveling an hour to the venue every day?
How do you know I travel an hour to the venue every day?
I didn't tell you that. I do though.
Yeah, we are in the depths of Korea.
Let's see what you're going to do here.
You're going to struggle right now, man.
I mean, they're like most teams here.
They're going to struggle, dude.
They're aggressive jillists.
The way they set them up is quite unique, like they send them in pretty heavy by themselves,
so we know if we can isolate them, we can pick them off and kill them, so that was kind
of the plan for Haven.
Well, we know how you guys feel about Sunset, we're just coming up next, but how are you
feeling about the map draft overall?
Yeah, the map draft was good, they harm a van ascent, which we'll play it, but
the fact that we don't have to play it is nice, and yeah, the rest of them
up for good for us so as long as we keep playing our game I think it's looking good classic interview
answer keep playing our game or we're going to play our game take a shot every time they say
play your game we are joined by we're joined by Mimi and we have a very very special guest
all the way I didn't actually do what you guys said do we actually believe in a
merchant merchant
My fucking man's also on the desk
Real nice and spicy there for a little bit. I love the kind of sloppy back and forth by yeah, yeah
It has been very very spicy. That's who
What is Math 2?
Look at this.
Look at it.
Let's take a look.
Math 2's Sunset, that's what it was.
That's heretics Math Big.
It's hard.
It's hard.
I haven't worked on it in such a long time.
It's very hard.
the energy from that crowd and on the other side for you did you I think you
need to see more moments like that one from Kong Kong because overall this map
felt a little bit flat from them they couldn't get anything done in their
nice game it's quick they're fucking roll through the shit they roll
through the shit of these kind of last-second executes that were falling
to bits all right 20s run late slash early when you're yeah the time zones
hard for some parts of the world but everyone has a chance where the time
So I think it's fair play what do we think about the locations that were announced?
I haven't really talked to you guys about that. It's hard to talk to you right now a little bit
Just because of the delay, but are we happy with the locations? I feel like it's pretty good
Like all things considered I think Bangkok is a cool spot for us to settle on for Asia
Toronto is going to be insane for you
America's and then to close out in France
I don't know
good is that anchor I think they hit three good spots I don't know what the
crowd and uh it's just kind of like they're gonna look like like there's
gonna be a lot of people that's right about there I'm not sure I think that's
really big for their defense and I mean it's working for them and you saw it
here on heaven yeah this is technically a comp change you go back to the neon but
I think maybe blue looks so comfortable they have a lot of nice set ideas to
get the opening kill with him on this agent and get that early space in
the round it really felt like they were in control of this map yeah a team
team heretics was out of touch and EDG was out of time.
And we got to see that a lot, I think through the value of how
team heretics was playing that Cypher, getting that deep C long
value with a camera, and that allowed them to pivot where they
set up their defense and usually it was towards that A site, B site.
There's always four players in team heretics ready to receive EDG.
And that brings us to our HyperX Reflex moment of the day
and this one goes to Reans in rounds.
And we spoke about how he had the potential to be the MVP
of this tournament. Would you agree? Oh yeah I mean everyone has their flowers on heretics but
this guy for me he's shown through and through again in playoffs like plus 20 every series when
plus 10 getting these like clutch moments here where he's getting executed on he has supportive
utile but he's just going forward like he's not scared to take a play and I think that's really
big as just an issue. Yeah I feel like he's so good when he's like the player who's flooding
in to help. Welcome, welcome, welcome guys. Thank you guys for coming. Can you guys hear me
the right moment in the car uh that everyone's mics are on right hello how are you guys doing
test test test hello this is so high is it yeah no we're having a blast down there
we can go see you guys first like arena about an event right no it's it's insane you know
yeah i learned a lot you learned a lot yeah i mean that last map was insane just in general
Also, by the way, it's actually on a delay, the 30 seconds behind, but it's just us walking, yeah.
Why do you have a delay? You don't have to worry about street snipers.
We have live feed here, so we're synced up with the arena perfectly.
Oh, I see.
So they've got us. By the way, if you guys don't know, we got Ray, Riong, Yvonne, and Janet.
They're all here in Korea, by the way. This is crazy. You guys are here for Valorant, right?
This wasn't even planned. We just so happened to be here for a girls trip during the finals and we thought we would come stop by.
For a girls trip and it happened to be during DCT.
Yeah, honestly it was worth it. It's awesome.
Yeah, that's awesome. Is it everyone's first time in Korea?
No, no, no.
Well not you. Not you.
It's all of you have been here before?
It is my second time.
Second time?
That's cool.
Oh my god, they're just waving.
This is awesome. This is insane, by the way, so I learned that Miniboo and Boo are brothers,
longers, and then I learned Benji's fishy. I remember the username from Fortnite.
Benji's come a long way, because he's a legend in Fortnite as well.
Yes, no, he was like pro in Fortnite, which is when I was in the Fortnite era, right?
And so seeing him here is absolutely wild.
Well, it's impressive, right? For friends of these who are so successful in one game
come to another.
He's just a gamer.
Yeah.
What have you guys been doing in Korea?
Like, have you guys been, uh...
Shopping spa food sleep.
I love it.
Yeah, and repeat.
I was just talking to Chad about it, about Olive Young and how I got some skincare products
there.
That's the spot to go to, right?
Yeah.
Olive Young for skincare?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have it all.
Yeah.
I gotta bulk up while I can.
You're Chad so funny.
They're just waving at you guys.
This conversation happens every time.
Are you asking all your guests the same things?
Your first time in Korea? Yes, I do ask.
This is my first time in Korea. It's exciting.
It is?
Yes. This is my first time here.
Damn.
The drive to this place is quiet, isn't it?
I know.
It is quite the journey to get here.
That's why I'm impressed with all the fans that are coming out.
It is far.
We are getting right into it right away.
Just to see if it's a pretty guy's got are you guys rooting for?
heretics
I like it
I have a six as well actually I have heretics wing
I know the heretics players more more than yeah, I'm not I can't catch my boy. Don't get me wrong. I love
It's overpowered a little bit a little overpowered
I'm sorry, swing and beat crime heritage, but uh, there's been a lot of neons.
There's a theme that you want to go now over towards A.
I don't know how you guys enjoyed watching it.
I was just watching the last map, it was a mirror matchup.
So you pretty much go to that comp for Haven.
Yeah.
Write that down, write that down.
Have you guys been playing much more recently?
Yeah, we saw a blinder.
Look at him setting up the knife line up.
I want to play so bad now.
Yeah, but now we want to play.
So that's going to give them a little bit of info.
Taking notes.
Well, in fact, when it's ever since the Viper nurse, they really got us good.
They're going to know we'll keep the stack on beat.
We're so good at that.
What do you think about the new champ?
I actually haven't seen enough of her yet.
I'm not going to lie, yeah.
I mean, I think it's another closer look.
But she's, people are saying to you, they like it.
Oh, got Swarm, 22, big trades.
Players are getting...
This is pretty tough for many players.
I don't even know.
with 15 seconds left to spare.
Simon forced to stick his paranoia.
Got it.
Get out of there.
Timing.
Nice peek.
Oh, what a flash.
Cheechoo is there.
We're flashing his flakes.
Cheechoo.
They're where?
They're where?
Oh!
That's so big.
That's so big.
They needed that.
I feel bad for ADG because of the fact that they lost the last map.
That was their map, right?
That was their map, right?
They had two vetoes coming into the series and they also picked the first map.
It's a tough start, it's okay.
It's okay.
Considering there was four players looking to defend the sling, the way the attacker defends
it, it's gotta give you a lot of confidence.
Aven is attack sided.
Okay, after watching that it's like he was defends sided.
Yes, that's the problem really.
The fact that they have to...
I'm pretty sure this is an attack sided map.
Nobody's attack sided calling.
He's running them out of time constantly on Aven.
I love it because it's bringing everyone places that we've never been.
Did you guys see the locations for next year?
No where.
Starting off with Bangkok.
Oh I heard Toronto.
Is it Toronto?
That's going to be the one we're talking about.
Toronto's awesome.
I think that East Coast is going to share it up.
I love New York.
I think New York would be hard. Yes very biased
Yeah, it is it is a lot it is by this district
And I and they close out in France France is the last the champs next year, so
Yeah
So it's we're actually talking about that as well, it's kind of weird. Well since firstly it's leaving the rotation
in the next, so it is leaving the rotation and we have a, what do we have coming in
up, Pearl and Split are coming back.
I love Split.
I love Split too.
It was weird they banned it because it was heretic's permit ban, so we were surprised
they banned it.
But yeah, we haven't seen a side of it.
Nice try.
Nice try.
Good he don't follow us.
This is big for ENGIE.
Chance back in.
away from being able to get null command online. A massive ultimate.
What is that?
So this chat, as you can see here, is a bracelet that is going to, again, we'll see about that.
This is going to be going to the MVP of this series.
And I get to vote on that. I get to vote on the player, so I need you guys to also help me.
That's so sick.
This looks really cool, right? I've never seen a...
You say player.
One player gets it. One player MVP from the series.
About the map?
What is it?
They said you weaked something.
What did I weak?
About the map rotation?
Alright, then it's...
A cent isn't leaving?
Wait, a cent's not leaving. Sorry, that's not leaving.
I'm sorry.
Wow.
Listen, I'm going through it.
Thank you for kind of directing me.
I missed it a little bit, but that was nuts.
It was also a bonus for them.
Yep.
Damn shi-
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
No, no, no.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So, I'm gonna have to get a bit of momentum behind them.
I'm gonna have to get a bit of momentum behind them.
Okay.
No, it's okay. It's okay. Thank you. Thank you. So I'm gonna have a vote. So we'll see
The first time
Those three
He's the guy on the team that I feel like has impact when they need it most so
It's a beautiful round to convert the bonus, EDG as I said they will be happy with it
Go for heretics
This is the round that ends up being scary
They are on the wick of eye after all so
After you win the bonus
They can't lose this
They'll fuck up the easy ones
Have you guys done um there's like scalp analysis
I
I should try it. I didn't do that.
You can respect the heretics.
But the dealing with the threats, beautifully.
Oh, my...
Nice. Got his ball.
Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
Oh, no!
Is this the tackle defense side at that?
Ah, attack side I was being towards.
That first map when they played against Levin,
I had to sway in the direction or not.
was choking pretty terribly actually.
Was his first game in the arena.
I think this is also one of the biggest arenas we've
been in for a while.
So you guys pick the good ones to be at.
It's incredible.
It's incredible.
This is how much it cost to build this whole building.
The Riteseter building.
I don't know, because this place is insane.
We're at the airport, and there's a casino here as well.
It feels like Vegas.
It also took 20 minutes to walk in here.
It's kind of messed up the placement of the arena because the players lose they can fly home with the airport so five minutes away
Wait, oh, you knew the answer
1.6 billion
Yes, well, there's a lot here is a big ass ball. I haven't seen it all but
There's what's on here.
There is as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's got literally everything.
They're trying to, they're trying to make it like Vegas.
There's so many cosplays too.
These guys are killing it with the cosplays.
Yeah.
They had, I think, Hyper and Deadlock.
Hyper and Deadlock?
Yeah.
I've seen like Bade, Gecko, Jet.
He's on a new champion.
EDG, guys.
That's what?
Yeah.
That was the pressure for this though, to get that same crumble from Team Heretic.
Honestly you're right we have seen it in the past. This is the second gun round here, so let's see if
It up a little bit
What a slide nice
I would do something like that.
I would do something like that.
I do panic.
I do panic.
Who picked this map?
Uh, EDG did.
So I guess they're just taking turns beating each other's map picks.
The Heretics here.
The Heretics pick this.
Strangely enough, yeah.
It happens more often than not where they'll pick the map and lose it,
which doesn't really make that much sense.
It's a timeout as well.
It doesn't make sense to be okay.
Everything pointing towards this needed to be a safe map for them in this map.
How about the opening ceremony?
What do you guys think about?
So cool.
They went down to the creators and they were all dancing with them.
But we couldn't really see the stage because we were like below the stage.
So we were like looking up like this.
Yeah, they're probably best seated.
The other ones were these.
But they had TVs.
But during the performance the TV was off.
Oh, I see. I make sense.
So they instantly called.
Wow, they're getting destroyed.
They are.
They reset, huh?
They reset, wow.
Off of a 13-6 where they just got smacked around a little bit.
Steve was mentioning on the desk, you know, you see this guy, he will just try and take
fights by himself.
They already used one pause, I believe, so I don't think they'll use another yet.
How many pauses are they allowed to use?
They still have two pauses, two 60 second pauses, and then you get one every set in overtime.
So they give you one back later on.
When he played against Leviathan, he took 30 first duels, which is one who's already won.
Do you guys feel like when you're playing?
Like you know when you're playing and I'm sure how this to you guys too, when you're feeling it
and like things are going your way, you feel like you can do anything.
We'll make some stacks quickly.
So, yeah exactly.
So those bosses go a long way in terms of stopping that from continuing to build.
We're gonna back off and play slightly more passive angles.
Just stop people entering with that trip.
I haven't, I'm thinking about the lobbies that we used to play.
That used to be a good time.
I used to play.
I haven't done that.
I know.
times you played with us.
What?
I can't tell him.
I've played with you guys probably at least 50 times.
What?
All right.
At least 20.
At least 40.
At least 40.
You're crazy.
That's so crazy.
That's 40.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
22 high.
I like nobody.
What do you sound like, Eric?
Be for real.
Be for real.
Yeah, if you play with us like maybe five times max.
Get out of here.
I don't buy it.
No.
I can name five times off top of my head.
Really?
of pushing B back to right. It's been a while. That's why.
Crazy. Yeah, it's been a while.
Then again to push him all the way back off A.
Five seconds though.
It's gonna weaken the B site massively.
Oh, we're looking at late round.
He's born scrambling for heretics.
In first form, 30 seconds left.
As you said, like, we're back now.
30 seconds.
Their site's over towards the B site.
They're gonna move now over towards it.
Back site is granted and gained.
Simon with the plant.
Praise ultimates a bit here.
Let's see how many go.
Smoggy's already collecting all sorts of kills.
Crossed up.
Smoggy gets one.
Where was that at actually?
We need an opening to hear that willingness.
It's gonna be hard.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
It's not as small as you told.
They should save.
You guys should save.
Hey, you guys, back it up.
Back it up.
Oh, a sticker kill.
Let's go, Stinger.
A sticker.
We love that.
We love that.
Get him.
Get him.
No, wait.
No, no, no.
Not get him.
No, no, wait.
Not get him.
Yeah, I said save, guys.
If they could hear me.
What a different map we're watching here.
Tough, tough, tough.
They're getting rolled now.
I
Which is crazy, it's my longest time ever the watch parties it's been pretty non-stop
Yeah
I went to Turkey for two weeks
To watch party from there
I think I kind of fucked up with the schedule I created here.
This is the last day though, right?
This is the last day of the year.
That's jokes.
We got a funny game to play.
The cosplays are too good.
They're so good.
Did I sew?
Talk in this line up everybody.
Right that side.
Taking that.
Oh my god.
This guy's entries are so good.
Watch, because I want hair.
It's the worst kill with no ball beside the game from Netflix.
They were locked in the first game.
Yeah.
They were.
It's the pistol round.
It starts there.
Well, to be very easy, you want this the last map,
and then you've got smoke.
Maybe it's not the pistol entirely.
Watch your eyes in this one up.
That is a desperation play.
I've never seen one.
Oh.
That's a good job.
I just can't figure it out right now.
It's all B5 win rate, but it's too hot.
You don't get that initial trade, which is so cool
to the way they're able to play.
13-0?
Potential?
Yep.
There I said.
They're going to be in trouble.
No.
No, they're going to be a side, they're going to be a tough spot to get.
It always is.
They're calling for it.
Underhand with the flash.
There's too many targets for really.
Oh my God.
No, it's last grade.
The flash didn't get that much value.
We got first move.
One.
Scans.
We're going to get another one.
The slide doesn't look so good.
Every time he slides he gets the guy.
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Neon buffs.
Everywhere for EDG.
Hey there, crackdown.
Like crazy.
Just seems crazy. Yeah, she's on
Every map
Refund on the champs bundle. Yeah
That would be worst case
I'm honestly just hoping for five maps,
because I feel like both seem to serve it.
This event is such a long time period.
Like these guys have been here for a month now,
competing like this over 20 days of competition.
And to get to this bar, it is, it's a lot.
So, yeah, that opens up elbow.
Peace by peace.
Are you a jinx?
Am I a jinx?
They say that I am.
I don't think I am, and that's probably part of reason.
How about for this round, you're here for EDT?
try it out. This could be the 7-1. 7-1 is a classic too.
If you spot
Then try to get players into position
I want that hat
The one with the bear ears
Let's go, let's go, let's go
I got Timo Henny
Yes, yes
He's gonna be strong enough for a minute
It's good luck, Sean
All through
Right behind us, right below us
It's like the Heritage Brigade
Yeah, no publicity by any chance
Wow, awesome
for them to have like a part of the crowd team for the crop up is real
wait this is the worst this is the most impossible round though actually
okay well here we go let's hear it let's hear it there
if I should there's no way they win this round actually
alright I mean that I'm just gonna be dodged
dictable here for these new players and all this farmed up alongside it
Boos just trying to take away any of you guys uh seen the champs bundle
I'm trying to stay mobile.
I'm going to show you guys what I see here.
It's the new Phantom.
That's what the hype is about.
That's what the hype is about.
Champs Bundle.
Flash, Recon, Reins.
Reins coming.
They are kind of...
for the mid-round play.
Oh my gosh, get him out of there!
He's just stuck.
Oh, don't get him out of there!
Nice try, yeah.
I'd like to see it do it. You know, you're just like
two rocks now. I'm not going to lie.
It's working. It's working. That's
that would be so hard to take me back in mid. Who's the
silver man here? Do we have a silver man? I don't have a
silver man, but these lineups, we might as well try it out.
Oh my god. Oh my god. She's off. She's off of the ace
too. She's going for the ace. Navigation down.
I'll get it
It wasn't that sick
By the way, jumping out, what is that?
Getting a maze.
Oh, yeah.
But for everybody else, I mean, look at the way that Simon is pulling.
Stewards.
I saw Github's him doing like a gun-thin...
He's got some good ones on stage. I'm not gonna lie.
He usually gets pretty hyped.
He's been more tamed this amount, that was to say,
but I'm glad that he's still comfortable
to show his emotion and passion.
This is the full buy now for heretics.
I'm not going to lie, this is really running away.
The ground actually still got tons of value there.
It's really hard it looks.
You know that there aren't players holding these.
You go Cobra like Tarik.
We love those Echos.
When they have pistols, we do tend to get extra aggressive.
I can't lie about that.
You're going to put a round on the board.
It's going to be now.
They can get an opening, Mini-Boo's gonna be the guy.
ADS stuff.
They're just keeping the lead.
He's got results here.
Could be scary.
Every single pass in a moment.
EDG is just disrespecting this.
They're all the way in.
They're back in the side.
That's a top.
Connecting.
Flash to follow up.
Flash to move.
Nice team play.
Smog is a little virtual as well.
They're literally just getting rolled.
So hard.
Overdrive.
One is going in.
Quick pivots.
Smog is around.
Norofev connects.
And alongside the pyro.
Noia still.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, it's not even like the end of this point.
And they want to kill.
There's no reason to go even more to ever here.
EDG, I think, overthought it, but it didn't make as much of a difference.
They had access to this.
I mean, I guess the bright side for Harrod, they're up 1-0.
So honestly, it's fine.
You guys are chilling.
They're probably not stressed, but it is hot.
Those rounds where the clock denied.
I
This is round 10 and blue is the last one.
While the rest of his team is saving.
Could that be a more desperate play?
Is that hero up there?
Is a hero up on blue?
Yeah, they're trying everything they can.
We've never seen...
Nobody's drone it.
At this point I can't even jigs it, I've tried, but 13-0.
I feel like you didn't jinx it up hard enough.
Okay, I'll try one more time.
They actually are going to get 13-0 and I meet it right now.
They looked at it in the water.
These rounds are not even close.
Oh wait, no, this is the passion.
This is not even close a little bit.
I believe, it's possible.
I've heard this, like a play game where someone, where they shoot 13-0.
A 13-0 on stage like this, I haven't seen it, no.
The teammates have a spot.
He has some 13-0s though.
with all that reward on him, Pooch.
Hello.
OK.
OK.
Let's go to the board.
But nobody's going to try and offset this.
No, it's fake news.
It's fake news, guys.
I'm just sorry.
It's totally fake news.
This is just getting ridiculous.
There's no way they can get through alongside that paranoia.
Reclaiming the space, the spike alongside it.
It looks like Rienz might have an opportunity to do it all.
Close.
He's on the flank creeping up behind Smoggy.
Careful.
OK.
on V2 smoggy.
Reans, it's briefing crawling up onto the angle.
Is this timing good here?
The crowd, the crowd, the crowd.
He's a mind-op up close and pass.
Skip it away, skip it away.
Woo!
This is just Mr. Siren, but he spotted the ball.
Oh my God!
Oh, this is a good thing you're back there.
This is real.
This is real.
Aw, look, 32.
He's a G.
Oh my god.
He's a G.
This is terrible news.
He reacted so quickly, by the way.
Now, recently, the crowd started to go
immediately turn for a sling.
They played a little quicker though.
I shot there.
This is kind of the way they act.
They said little jinx.
Okay, okay, let's see if this is what's
I don't believe in it and I'll hand it to my best DJ.
They also weren't ready for the fast player coming towards A-link.
That was a strong tag, it's so hard.
They have an off on reset too.
I don't know.
They're not able to get a foot in.
Not even a little bit.
No one can touch them on this map.
It's round 11.
You want to go up the one round? It's a 2v4,
but surely you've got to make a play for it.
I wouldn't have believed you if you said to me after that.
Yeah, they're saving it.
That's smart, but at what point do you
even have a chance now?
We saw a 9-3 half.
It's like they should just FF.
Noooo!
We don't even have a chance.
They really don't.
If I'm in ranked right now, I've given up a lot of the gold.
I have, but they looked bad in the water.
The only one that they won was where they had a glass cut in operator.
Maybe with pistol, no. I can't even do that myself.
She's just trying to go for the gold split.
Missed a memo.
You know, maybe this is good. More games to watch.
Picture?
kills here the high tempo increase is called they know the booze going up
as soon as they realize the op is not in play over there yeah give me something
to hold on to I just got nothing yeah well tell me what's going on why what
what's your take on this why are they losing so badly heretics were cooking
why why are they getting old so hard are they trying are they even giving
it like are they giving me their best shot?
Yeah, Ray, take it away.
No way!
We did it.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
I have no idea what's wrong.
You're trying to stay alive.
Trying to dodge it.
We both saw it.
And nastiness is coming out.
It's just not.
It's just not slapping.
Oh!
It's shocking!
Oh!
Okay, okay.
It's already in the end.
Fuck it all.
Nice try.
Nice try, nice try, guys.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay. It's hard. It's hard. We got our boys in the crowd hanging out.
I didn't pack any shorts really, very stripping. I think it's so hot outside. I fucked up on that one.
I saw him wearing shorts. I saw him wearing shorts and I was like, that must be nice.
It does not appear that that's going to be the case today. They have struck back.
Have any other guests after us?
We have uh, yeah, we have math three. I have guests different guests early back
So many
She's the jet voice actress
Shannon.
Yeah.
That's so cool.
Shannon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Her hair is so popular.
She's dominating in the crowd.
I want to hear her say the lines.
What's it like to be the voice of the Asian that's been loved for such a long time?
It's so sick.
It's just so sick.
I'm just so honored and grateful that a lot of people love Jet and she must definitely hold a big piece of my heart and it's a very much a scary animal.
A different side to me that I was able to put into that character, so yeah I'm honored to have everyone love her as much as I do.
She's so good at translating, by the way.
Oh, I love that!
Yeah, the most fascinating is those prayers, yeah.
Oh, she didn't make it to it.
I think I have to I mean of course like the old voice line and then the the newest ace
Voice line I think are my favorites
safe please
She's starting to do it nice
Nice nice nice
Thank you for the interview everybody here is my impression of the jet watch this
I wonder if she just gets spanned with that every day like she's screaming or like
Because she's joining us 11 to 1
Edg
We're sweet dreamin. Yeah, I think 111
Comfortable yeah, it's going for the bus she was doing a long game
Wait, that's true
We're going we won't be a five by the way
So that's the nice part that's why I was saying I hope we go all the way regardless that remains up
It's just more surprising that they're losing like this because this is a really good map for Erickson, I don't know what's happening.
There's a trip there, and then there's the punish actually. Pretty good. He's got to be able to shut down Kong Kong in these rounds.
Nice shot. Certainly something that heretics have learnt.
Nobody's getting frisky.
Oh my gosh.
I caught him on the side.
Players are there, ready for the trade. Boo to respond.
That might make them think that there's nobody home at B because why would somebody be pushing out and angry?
Got a reliance my shoulder the shoulder the top gen angle
Great 29 seconds left a couple clips up
the shots hitting. Yeah, good scam. Good scam. Things trying to go over the swing. Paranoia
sweeps through and through the smoke. From the back, okay. Many booths. Fire shots.
Seconds. Definitive chances. Maid rebounds. Smoky trying to play himself back in here.
I like you guys. They realize, they realize. Drifting. Missing. Bring her on the
at least giving them some hope
even if it once falls and Smoggy
shuts the door in their face
yeah the spam kills, he hits some nice shots too
beautiful shots towards the end
that's ridiculous
it's for him
they're dangerous for them to stand there
like the middle step is all the way up
yeah they're kind of like in the open
they have to look at so many different angles
I love their moving together but they're just kind of like caught out
Yeah, it's kinda hard to understand where he's coming from.
I can't remember, I can't recall.
Thank God.
Put it on a show right now.
The hero vandal they dropped.
Another round by Kan Kajah didn't get fallen early.
Maybe it's already 5-H here as well.
Oh, where he lost that?
What happened.
Yeah, he got hit up.
Oh, nothing for heretics.
That investment.
To bear fruits.
Oh.
Simon.
Oh, Simon.
Trying to get alongside it.
Trying to get alongside it is,
he's pushed.
Yes!
Help!
Help!
Oh, nice shot.
Okay!
A desperate effort to save his life.
Yes, she's here.
on the side of EDG.
Oh, that's right.
I'm just trying to teach you only able to get the ball.
Spargee again?
Back to back?
No.
He's an extra player.
These core are really quick timing again.
It could actually be doable.
No.
He's low.
He's in the revealist position with a bit of stray spam.
He's just playing.
No.
I'm here.
No!
He's up down to 27 health.
Time begins to tick.
only man Chad wins this clutch easy you see the way the EDG are playing though
Simon this point like just tries to take contact then Simon I guess and then
you see tissue that stay exactly where he is to the way the EDG are currently
playing they believe they're better and that's round by round
the case you're not gonna get a shred of extra respect unless heretics earn it
I wonder if it's a tack or a timer resetting the monitor only mean a few
things we've got the inside scoop it is a tack because if you look over and see
what's happening yeah you'd be thinking it's a heretics monitor yeah don't worry
guys we got you guys
some kind of pause in the action might ice the team that's got momentum but
edg's momentum all came from the first we're like we're so far out here that's
why we're so far outside of Seoul so I feel like the fact that you're gonna
be packed every day to the moment you are making a commuter night to last
yesterday, the day before, and then I'm ten.
Yeah, so...
You gotta home at midnight.
You gotta home at midnight?
I don't know.
Well, here we go home at midnight. Yeah, they did.
Probably.
Yeah, you don't have the family and friends to stay in.
Look at the way it...
I'm trying to do it.
You guys saw my camera, by the way, right?
Yeah, certainly the favorites here.
My own personal stage shot right here.
We've got quite a lot of...
This is what this is made of.
Yeah, this one also I had, but it's not right now.
I feel like with tech pauses never know
Imagine you're an admin trying to deal with a tech pause
It's probably so stressful because you gotta fix their problem as everyone's waiting for you to fix it
And then your team is getting less worn
And all of that is pouring up like this
How convenient for uh...
It's not just to have the baby hands up
Yeah, they do the summits everybody
Oh no, my monitor turned off!
My monitor is at 60Hz, not 144Hz.
What the hell?
Restart the map.
Let's start over.
Something I learned from the first map is you can hang an orb before you're smoked off
and then just spray the game.
As I grab it?
Yeah.
I wrote that down.
I'm actually hooked up.
Isn't it so creative for the things to exist at all?
Yes.
Or even just like, there's so many things to like, even like having the spike.
It's like it's sort of a creative concept in the game.
We're like, you have to bomb and then get off, and then finish it off later.
Because it was enormous, crashing and learning out of Shackle.
Yeah, they're trying to ice him.
Probably learned so much by watching this, but he just barely played.
Yeah, well, also the other problem is when you play in ranks, the games are not nearly as similar, right?
Because you just have, like, you're playing with four random people.
He's one of those players that's hard to coordinate, really, at this level.
Yeah, he's so coordinated.
He's always been the player that people look at.
I knew when you looked I'm like
I think it's not just like Hong Kong has
the evolution of the edg the fuck of
the tax I miss that huge what he's been
able to accomplish to grow as he's got
I hate that map so much.
Really?
It's probably one of my favorite maps.
I remember both sides of the stage and you playing Viper on Factor.
I do play Viper on every map.
No, I remember a specific moment where you're gonna Viper on the machine.
I can't recall it that well, yeah, yeah.
I don't know what time I ordered.
Yeah, I was trying to remember the run. I don't have it. I don't have it.
We can have a game of lane if you like.
I blame you.
Cheer for him, yeah.
Duncan was talking to him about their losses action.
Always known for it.
And he said that they knew that they looked back on Master Shackle.
They knew that they didn't feel like doing better.
It's incredible.
It's a ridiculous thing.
It's such a sick trophy.
How could you open the Grand Finals with a better showcase of resilience?
Oh, the back end?
Oh, it's cute!
Yeah, it was scary.
The sun set him right back into the action.
I didn't miss much here.
Just like that.
You guys are angry.
Get him.
Get him.
As anything.
Heretics.
What no mercy.
They know it's got to be relentless.
They're going to try it.
For any chance at this time.
I love when the ciphers just stared each other like this.
Yeah.
The EDG economy.
On that camera, yeah.
So they're looking to take risks.
I would have loved to see this a little more.
I think from heretics when they were on the defense side.
Wow.
Oh yeah, they never did that on heretics.
Yeah, they didn't.
Oh!
Nice shot.
They're so bad.
They're so bad.
Are they heating up?
Actually, don't say.
This is not...
Yeah, this is not...
This is still so far away.
It's not going to happen at all.
Here, take this.
I'm going to go for it.
Sheriffs.
Any damage here?
It's good. Very confident to be so cherished by the other things. Yeah, maybe the better course as well to try and go down to the spike
But I think many moves missed the time in there on oh
That's a hot one. Mini boot. One more kill. There's no way they come back guys
Connects mini below responds
Okay, okay, he's eating up.
Razal, Razal.
They ship the trophy to the winning team or they got to bring it on the plane.
I'm pretty sure they just bring it on the plane.
That's what we've done for CS.
I imagine they bring it.
You know what sucks about the trophy is that when you win an event, the horde gets the
trophy.
So after you win, you don't really have anything to show for it.
Don't get like many awards to the players.
Yeah, yeah.
They should have just won a big trophy that goes to the organization.
Exactly.
And you never see it again.
So I called to do those medals, I believe.
But the minor in which we get there to localize.
They do rings, I think.
They do rings, yeah.
The team set up to repel this.
Yeah, this should be something.
I don't know yet.
We are on the next gun round.
That's not very solid, mini-groove.
The angles.
So let's see if we can cook it.
At least the boombox.
What is it?
Was that part like good because it kind of just went like it was
For that show they have the map control he doesn't use it the more it denies me
Getting into a good position where he can actually find value
I don't think that's that much
They have a big stock on here right now.
And the heritage are going B so they have the right call.
Oh, Cypher saw.
Yeah, he's got the info now as well.
He's playing full reset.
They want to give it up.
Oh, careful.
Careful.
Careful.
Oh!
I love it when people flank the flanker.
Yeah.
So, so good.
Lurk on the lurk.
Yeah.
He's staying aggressive here, but he's alone.
Let's see what he can get.
Oh, I'm so scared.
Risky.
Oh, it's on the spot.
Oh, my God.
He's got it.
Nice.
Nice job.
Smaller than me.
Turn it straight away.
Straight forward.
Smoke on main.
Watch out.
Trying to shoot through this hole.
Can he cap it at all?
No.
Smaller than I think.
There you go.
There you go.
They're starting to show life.
They're starting to show some life.
I can hear the, is that on the stream or is that behind you?
I hear them cheering.
They believe. They're not giving up on them.
I'm surprised you did.
I don't know. It's a hard one.
I'm just more shocked in the fashion that they've done this UDG.
Like it's not their mapper. They just lost so hard
They're so creative with the sprays, I'm not gonna lie. They like incorporate a lot of memes into it
So another eco for ebg five sheriffs again, he's getting aggressive
find that home and swim. What a risk. Have the right snack.
Time to walk into this trip in his face at least, but here's the
home and the home and the home and T spawn. Yeah, he is. You
can't see him. The pie for me. Wait a minute. Okay. Maybe
stop and show off the man. It could be that way.
I'm not sure what's going on with that shot.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Ready, go!
Ready, go!
Don't look away!
Stop the ego round!
Stop the five shirts!
Nice try.
Nice try, nice try.
Damn.
You need to just fucking flip the script on us so hard.
Wow.
You can tell on their faces.
They've been through hard things.
They are hard to get there.
Aww!
I think they're like positive
What a way to do it though right
She's pretty fucked up right now. She's getting used a lot. I hope they do bring back jet pregnancy
Played pretty frequently.
Bring back Viper, bring back Jack.
He bowed for it.
Yeah, Viper, please.
What a half.
What a game.
Well, thanks for having us.
Yes, thank you guys so much for coming on.
I appreciate you guys.
Shout out to you guys.
Shout out to get some hearts in the chat for these guys.
Thank you for kicking it.
Bye.
We'll see you at half an hour.
We're going to go back down towards C.
OK.
OK, I'll catch you guys around.
Enjoy the rest of the game.
I'll be right back as well chat one second.
Let me do this.
Who gives you wings?
Invasion, we're getting the stream.
Invasion.
I said bundle.
Oh, I wanted to come in and say hi for a while.
Say hi.
Let's go.
How has Champion Soul been like for you?
And what do you think of the Korean fans and the Korean ballerin community?
Honestly, it's been a really, really emotional week.
Like we've been here all week, getting to know players, going to PC bongs,
going to so many different things.
This community has got to be like, it's got to be like the best community so far.
Like the hype is so real and we're just so happy to be here right now.
China, we've come out on console.
We hope our console players are enjoying their first champion.
So yeah, it's just been incredible.
I'm so grateful to all of you and to all the players for providing the best environment for us.
And as we launched the Chinese version and the console, I hope that more people can be with us.
Then, I heard that there is a change in the league format in 2025.
I'll ask the fans and the players what they think about the impact.
Not every game gets that opportunity.
We're very humbled, very grateful.
As far as the sport goes,
we're finally expanding the calendar.
We're gonna have more Valorant with champs now
in October.
We're also expanding the number of teams in our league.
We're expanding play-offs.
We have a new format.
We're better lining the game and the sport.
And we're bringing our events
to three brand new locations around the world.
It's gonna be the best year of Valorant and the VCT yet.
And we cannot wait.
Oh, yeah, baby.
It's been 5 years since the first game of the year, but it's not easy to get a chance to play 5 years.
It's an honor.
And I'd like to say thank you to all of you.
Next year, the league will get longer, and the Champions League will be in October.
And the playoffs will be a little bigger, and more teams will come into the BCT circuit.
There will be a lot of changes, but the players and fans will enjoy more.
so I hope you look forward to the year of 2025.
Thank you, Lillian, and after joining me,
thank you, Lillian, and after joining me, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys, enjoy the game.
Back, everybody.
We have some champions in the house.
It's Jogamori Wampada.
Welcome, guys.
Hello, hello.
It's so good to have you here.
We got Kukuku with me as well.
But that map, let's quickly break it down.
What a stark contrast from the first one.
What happened?
Yeah, I can't believe it.
I mean, I can kind of, but that first map already,
things were wonky for EDG.
You know, the fact that after, right after that Omen ult,
landing towards A site, kind of meandering around
and unable to plant, running at a time a lot,
and the save nerd, you could just absolutely see it.
So it's good for EDG that they were able to get a reset
backstage and looking like a completely different team
on map 2.
Yeah, and Joke, look at the vibes.
Look how hype Kong Kong was as well, right after that.
You got to give it right when you're on that stage.
When you're on the stage, you're giving a hype.
You're letting the crowd know, and you
want to put the crowd on your back.
You say, let's hype up the crowd, let's get hype.
So I think it's amazing that Kong Kong's getting the crowd on his side and he is a crowd pleaser, so I can't be mad at him.
Does he have that dogging in?
He got that dogging in for sure.
Yeah, and now looking at Lotus, things are moving pretty fast as the Asian Select has already been decided for the third map.
We know that this is a map that both of the teams have a lot of experience.
Team Heretics decided to change the composition, go for the double controller, a lot of what other teams in EMEA are doing.
But the way that EDG percent this map, how they run the globe, some might think it's a little bit walky,
But the presence that they're able and the pressure that they're able to put across the map definitely pays off
You guys like the club? Of course. Why not? The club is a beast right now
I love the club. I love the club and you know just the double initiator comp on the one side and Viper on the other
I'm loving this. You know in America's especially for our team
There was a lot of discussion a lot of debate back and forth about what's gonna be
The flavor of this map. What's the best comp and for us? It was a double initiator
It was without the viper, but I think it makes sense that the rays is coming out because the viper the HP gets dwindled down
So just in tandem these these utilities work together well and now Christina
You all know stranger to the day so you know that Brenna Sideshow are waiting for us on the other side
Would you like to do the honor at the top of it brand Sideshow take it away?
The true professional in every sense listen in every sense. I'm ready before to step back into the ring
So that is the talent already and waiting over the arms and telling you open invitation here
But notice for our map here in the ground finals the middle ground here
We're reaching with the map pool of over these teams and the map pickpands and where they've gone EDG
I've kind of upset a multitude of opponents. I think over the course of this tournament on this map
You know you can dismiss their composition for being non-standard non-meta, but they do make it work
And it works well they make it work amazingly. They they are great at playing around smokes
They're amazing at trading conco and that pistol round strategies are always creative always find already live this round
Welcome to the stream away. We're actually gonna library. I feel like the maps are so fast
The series is
I said you guys saw that second map, I'm guessing that was fucking ridiculous by
Fucking so mad probably
I'm not
All standing cinema by the left.
Stopping them on 10.34, that rainy day, Kang Kang.
He's relentless.
Can't get him, how does he get him up that far?
Two kills.
Nobody?
He's left in a difficult spot, a 1v2.
Oh, he has a real chance, right?
Oh my god, again?
Yeah, another one.
Very end where nobody was in a tough position but pulled out of the Red Bull clutch
I don't understand how they're
Reset so hard. Oh, thank you. Thank you
Oh, yeah, yeah one more is good one more is good
Right below us is like the higher six like and crowd
I don't know if they're giving out free t-shirts or what they've done, but they've totally bought their love
They don't hesitate to cheer even on the rounds they lose
That's a good fan base right they cheer for you even if you lose out from heretics over the wood sea
Which is where smoggy and Simon are holding
But it doesn't really look like there's gonna be enough utility to shut the line
Even if boo decides to commit on to a prowler do this
Yeah
Yeah, we're getting comfortable. We might go a distance here.
Benjy Fischer, you got his shares, baby. Magic.
Yeah, what, what, he's like feeding the red.
I think that was a blind. Yeah.
Nice sound.
I'll look.
He still returns with a crack.
headshot. AJ is pushed up for
raise. Crossfire could be good.
Maybe. No. Smoggy's in it.
It's Smoggy's team that he moved here.
I don't think he did. I did.
Uh-oh. Oh, I'm ready.
It's very slow. Yeah, they're ready for start.
I don't know. Smoggy's trying to run these players.
No. I don't like it.
Benji Fischi, man of the hour.
I don't like it.
Take care. Umbru and a spike in that right ball.
I like this hero.
It's a mistake.
It's like if you're heretics, yeah.
It's over.
It's over.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
How the fuck does this work?
The classic kill from Rian's mistake is fucked, too.
It always starts with like the first one being just happening randomly and then just dominoes
next.
It takes off.
Oh, god.
We're not going to hear it.
We can't have you win, though, bro.
We're not going to hear the end of this shit.
We're really not.
though we're not gonna hear the end of the show because he really believed the
paranoia was good he trusted in his teammate and he did have been
under the
playing under flash man just got back in and helped us out
first step for the masquerade
no
mhm
heretics will be loving that one
i don't mind
i'm playing both sides
i can't lose
it's not bad for that
that's for sure
not a bad look
it's one of the biggest reasons that team heretics
Or at least pick as tools that they have to rely on on their attack side compared to edg's less standard approach
They found the gap here if indeed they do pressing to be
Edg is super happy to gamble
When they're on ecos, they'll often run for players a sometimes push off defense like we saw on the pistol
surrounded on almost every plant but their weapons aren't good enough to spam so this
plant should go down fairly easily if you're the paranoia in as well just to
make sure nobody can play waterfall
Aftershock is good
Yeah, they do have a decent flank right?
Traction!
Oh my god!
What?
and anything that will make it work.
Guns are behind it.
First, oh my God, Benji Fishery won me too.
Has a loss of deal with Brawler running it.
Oh my God.
Oh, yeah, the big ball, yeah.
You actually could have won that for a second.
Damn, nice try.
So back and forth.
I'm good.
You guys want food?
The truth is, I just can't believe it.
Thank you.
Nobody with Bulldog in hand did so much there.
The turret evaded as well.
What was going on there?
Wait, it's perfect.
You and Shambles will fucking go.
We're gonna get to see it really inside.
I don't think he'll go back.
I don't think he'll go watch him, but that's not a range.
They crept through. No problem.
Wait, who's this?
Well, certainly, Kunkkuk was trying to...
Show my camera, I was looking.
It was odd.
To be honest, I think Benji pointed it in some sense
kind of the wrong direction.
Kind of fumbled.
Scratchy and explosive beginning here on Lotus.
I'm not going to see that John is wearing.
I'm not going to football team, yeah?
Yeah.
Is it a specific player?
No.
I don't have any new feet.
Still here, so I'm going to get a refresh out of the way,
because it's going to respect out a prowler in his face.
EDG have posted, she's sure.
They still have a decent body here, considering
they just got equalized.
Taking this portion of the map.
Not that bad.
EDG still have very good information here.
Benji's got his ult on.
He's doing it.
I don't have any way to break it.
Yeah.
You're playing against a team that's running
They grab it on C and go back A with the Ovala
They try to rotate C, deny the lockdown
But with this comp, they don't really have to come to stop the lockdown from coming through
They have a good hole here
They're sub-burning, they're gonna be hard to push the Ovala
They try to make Uzi bit in the round, but he's playing really passively over towards B right now
See how they do this
They actually do take the timing straight through the smoke
Oh, bullshit
The kill lights up the feed, that's all the acknowledgement they need
You gotta give up on a here. Just be or see and use the lockdown. They've got no way to really remove it back to be
They go. It's not bad. Breaches here alone
into their hand Simon
Like jiggle again, it's the information that was being done stray shots are fired in through B
Just feels a little bit hectic on the side of heretics
Tonight
Wow!
Nice.
Damn.
They have fucking goats here!
That's man like fucking...
That was their plan was just to vibrate while we walk out and drop it, I guess?
Yeah, they wanted to give it like the root thing, like the jump up, and make it go higher up.
It's hard to use it from outside, you just gotta get it from outside.
It's like obvious too when you're coming from outside, right?
Yeah, yeah.
You can't rely on them forever.
What is going on here though as well?
Boo, just missing the sound cues.
I know he can see it, but it's the only explanation I can take off. There you go
Fucking hell
Go like you said you can't rely on the thrifties welcome welcome my boy. How you doing?
Did you fish eat?
Oh, he's gonna turn this guy up.
There you go.
What's up, bro?
What's up, guys?
How are you guys doing?
Doing good, man.
I'm doing good on the desk.
Yeah, I'm scared.
I've never been on the desk.
And what's this?
Yeah, how'd that go?
I had like two seconds of it.
You know?
Two seconds of it.
Yeah, this is a serve rock game.
This is what I'm doing, bud.
Hey, great.
How's it going, bro?
All players stack up towards A.
I didn't watch what you did.
Amazing.
Somebody posted that.
Is there an option to come and get nobody?
Uh, EG.
All right.
Can't you just post?
What is it?
I
It goes on the side here.
Oh, really good.
He feels up, and he boots cleaning up onto the corner.
Cuts it up for GQ.
It's a nice feel out there.
Trying to get his team right back into this one here.
I don't love this angle personally.
I feel like I don't want to put it in a different direction.
If you forget about it, you get caught off there.
Yeah, like in a moment?
Yeah, in a moment.
I'm trying to do that.
That looks good though.
It's not really great.
That one, I mean, Simon.
Delay in the fall.
At least he had the shot to see if he can delay and deny.
The plan going down, but tucked into the corner, Reans.
We've got an extension of timing to the round now.
EDG.
One's in a flank with a flash.
Oh, I don't know.
Overdrive.
Oh, nice slide.
That was good.
That was good.
The problem though.
He's in the stands there?
See him now.
What the fuck?
Benzie with the instant spam by the way.
Fucking hell.
Well done to him.
third that we've seen so far notice how does that go down that way and we finally got the lockdown
invested as well and you can see now i think why benji the series just feels so backwards
i think that's what makes it exciting right like both people winning the mafics the others
is mafics i think whoever has them a minute right now will probably take it home right now
yeah i thought harrisons were gonna run away with the series after round one and that's what i
legit i thought yeah we have today i've been here i have harrisons
This is a one-time strategy on Jack the VDG.
Oh my god!
That was awesome.
Good job, dude.
Oh, he's hyped.
Good job.
Coach Donkila.
That was incredible.
That was incredible.
He's been so proud of this tournament, he really has.
The rumor in the middle of it all is that he makes it to the score, to me.
But guess who's there supporting him on that H2?
It's one way he's amazing, really.
Yeah.
He comes through, stuns onto Weez, and frees him up to go for the kill.
He's cold stone.
My god.
He's going to be fine, isn't he?
He's shaking, he's sucking through his chair.
He can't believe his fucking eyes, dude.
That's when you know it's crazy when your own teammate is fucking losing his mind.
It's like, dude, what the fuck do you just do?
But he's opening to the map.
That's a hard blow. Good pause, honestly.
I gotta get the fuck off.
We're gonna cool him the fuck down over there.
I don't know what that guy's on.
Is this like eating cam?
What is he doing?
He's eating the glizzies.
He's eating the cam legit.
Damn, they know it on camera, right?
Oh, wait, that's not fair.
This guy's just a little fuck.
You doing it?
I thought he was showing his gaggle.
Show them a gecko.
And then you're like...
That's hilarious.
That's hilarious. The cosplayers are so funny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe I have to do a cosplay?
You have to do a cosplay? Like a Baron agent?
Have you done one?
And the gods are doing one now.
Yeah, we gotta petition again. Maybe we do cosplay.
Everybody always say that I look like that fox.
Looks like who?
The who?
I'm losing my hearing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't don't be mad at me. We're gonna get that lot cosplay from Mimi
We're pretty sure
I didn't I didn't say
That was not a good one
Piper has
It was not it
It was a bit of a wild card
Because neon can get into really unexpected
Was it baby jay's
feared in the past. Actually, it might be the number one aspect. Nobody's looking to get info and prowlers.
They have four holes here, yeah. It's hyper-committed here. It's a showstopper in the black pocket of Miniboot.
They got to get this one right. The politics don't like the look of this. The full Brooklyn here, no problem.
Potentially coming back to Reans. It looks a little indecisive here. Reans is looking for that one guy here.
This is like you said, John, this is so gamble, right?
Yeah, it is.
You have to.
It's actually working out somehow.
Putting pressure anywhere.
They're not pulling defensive rotates.
They're not at all the jiggle to find out
that Enquire Reans is calling.
Wow.
That's good old nipple.
Yeah.
They need to rely on us.
Only five seconds.
What?
He's really good at jiggling.
What was that?
Really bad jiggle.
Hey!
Steps up, takes the charge.
It takes the time.
Robot.
That's a squeeze.
Flash.
Just five seconds.
A little better.
It's a cherry on top of no one.
He doesn't care what his faith is about,
but he cares about himself.
He's smug, he's just wondering where it all went wrong.
Ace has just given him a run.
Fuck it.
Yeah.
He's the player that's been alone
since CD's past couple rounds.
Usually, this is his map.
He's averaging.
I think that was just a bad jiggle, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, like, yeah, I'll repeat that on accident.
But this would be something different.
Yeah, I'd have to pump up those numbers heavily.
He's just going for it?
I mean, you say there?
There's no fucking way I'll ever beat you with a smoke like that.
It's crazy, man.
I think you're dead on the money there.
Where did it all go wrong?
Because the EDG had the set up.
They knew that Team Heretics were looking to end too early.
You are on the Heretics side of her mind.
At least they had a read on it.
Yeah.
She shooed all the way towards the mound.
The crowd does lean a little bit.
I think the crowd does lean a little bit.
All of the macro is in favor of EDG.
I was smart to have the HUD guys in the front.
I was the King Kong's ace on.
I kind of...
Look at this.
It was good.
It was good.
The crowd...
I think it was he got off. I'm like he got going crazy. Yeah
Heretics back into it
Yeah, still good money
Yeah
I don't wanna wait, perma woman in the whole round.
I haven't forced out the rolling thunder, Aliga.
You guys are like one of the only teams that still run clove, I feel.
I'm very c-po.
Clove and only, I think it's a pretty crazy comp.
I would have like a send-off maybe, but...
Yeah.
We just keep it on this map.
How about the MAA comp? That was the craziest one I've seen.
It was a triple...
Triple sent-off?
Triple sent-off.
Yeah, all of these.
I like to play cheeky-ass.
Yeah, the wall. Fucking nuts.
Yeah.
You don't want to lie as a GP into the back.
You can't convince that.
Now you're putting the screens on the smargy.
You love this.
He's in the danger.
There's no retreat here.
There's no retreat here.
And one small heretics.
Good swing, guys.
You're not disciplined on this.
Oh, my God.
You're kidding me that he goes out on the slide.
Before he's dropped.
I mean, he heard the hominoles, so he wants to push forward,
but then he gets surprised.
If you got two there, it's really good.
There's a wall, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I just got a breach on it.
Imagine if you go for it.
I believe you're going to breach.
If they get one kill, it's better.
In a 2v3, you probably do not want to be used as long as other.
What if they can get a spam kill, which EG is normally so good at?
That lane is so narrow, it becomes both one and he's gonna need to kill us.
Yeah, I don't know.
Need to kill the other one.
I think it's too hard.
Porn, and he sort of reveals not why.
No.
Oh, I think...
There we are.
So you tell us that's it.
Yeah, he's in Bindax, right?
These guys maybe drop two at Guardian.
Guardian Vendl.
Well, there it takes a wrap.
This one up.
Ah, Shabby.
Finally we've got a map where both teams have turned up to it a bit of parity
I think my guardian inspired it by right about the way that comes on
Every time you have a guardian in your hand
You have to be ready for that kind of stuff because you know you can only want that
It's like restart
Sacrifices don't like sometimes you know you have only like you want to tap out
You know like calm Amy or like
Very slowly
Oh
Whatever
Look look like
Actually still going for it
I know he's stuck right here.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Yeah, he's getting pushed.
He's getting pushed.
Yeah, melted.
I know he was there.
And right in the utility right turn to punish.
Small gate trying to clean.
Heal!
Heal!
Please!
Heal!
Heal now!
Oh my god.
He knows what he's doing.
I guess.
That's ridiculous though.
I bet someone was healing here at this time.
Taking it away.
I was being pulled.
In attack, there's no plant on line.
He's up versus 30.
Push is still.
Reposition.
Okay.
Go back around.
Who is that guy?
Smoggy's weeded into this thinking that he's gone for the rotate?
Oh my.
It's a possibility.
There's enough time for it. Who could have walked all the way and just ran.
Hey, Mimi's fucking supporting her team.
Who could have disbanded here as he plants?
But I'm not even sure that Smoggy has enough bullets in his gun.
He has gone for the reloading. He's scared of a player being close enough.
Creeping, crawling up close.
One B1 still down to the timings.
Smoggy!
I'm not a fan of how Smoggy played around these situations.
I think you look at that round from Smoggy without an ult online
He conserved his life
Smoggy needed to heal and then go for a fight
I actually think that when he has the gun
He needs more health and smog down
Use the ult to play his team as high
I'd like to see him try to take that impact early on
Should we have waited for him with the bomb head?
He could have ulted
No, you can't.
Only the three attackers.
Three rounds in a row for Heretics.
And they've been abusing the site tank.
One pause for each, yeah.
They've been trying to find spots where there isn't...
It's pretty back and forth.
It's a good back and forth.
And Heretics can burst through.
Call some cancels.
The stomps are no good. First two are stomps, right?
Anything super simple.
I love the first map.
The first map was great.
The first map was crazy because of the way he lost some of those rounds, like the Ominoads and the Ominoads were breech holes.
Yeah, like the time ran out so much.
Their breech was going crazy, just thought they'd throw like the breech cleared before the plan was over.
Yeah, on the plans, yeah.
How you guys going for the MVP?
That's a good question, because I'm supposed to vote.
You mean like for the event?
I mean it's definitely one of them that I play on all the time.
I feel like Reigns has been going crazy.
One player that comes to mind, but Fendi and Reigns like two best mergers I would call out.
Mr. Hall as well.
There was Broke in the course, but he was aiming for top of Rubble there so that he can stand the back towards where Woot was.
I think Reigns has to do it.
He lost the info over towards A.
I think he's doing a lot with that open squad.
He looks good last game on Cypher.
come to expect I think oh it's nice to throw into a round I've made on a now
much more we're gonna take these foot
the door was already open why here Benji
it was a good ritual I
oh my god I almost transferred to the fucking around obtained here that was a really good
I
Hurt takes with time to cancel
Still held tall now nobody
I need to kill an easy assist but heretics at the one time tonight
Oh shoot shoot! My NGP and G2 collects!
All done, it lived. Oh my god.
I wasn't expecting the round to end like that.
That's 1v5 shots for a funny attempt to reload. Yeah, yeah.
He had limited time to be able to parry you out of his ultimate.
And it looked like he was playing possibly.
He's fucked you guys in the same spot.
Trying to deny the value and straight into the waiting arms of Chishu.
That's tragic for her. That was the best case scenario too. He's jumping up, right?
Calm on the perfect time. Still got to admire it. He's setting up 15 and 7 and again the team of the weaker economy
No, it wasn't a 50. He comes down with 15 and 7. 5-5. One of our guys at the running. Benji has it online again. His ult.
I think they actually saw both pieces of utility coming from Smoggy and Simon, so they've got
a pretty good read here that see you actually don't see jolt
Yeah
Also, since you're down you're taking a risk in the sense of like
Good plant position too
I like this forces util
Or cdg to be diligent with the clear actually yeah, they didn't even use you though. They saved the util
He's looking to try to trade out so now they have that utility
What?
Oh listen, he's smoking in exactly brute force
Wow
The man with heretics will seek to punish yet still smokes
It's fucking smokes
I'm calling
Oh, that's a high-rise
Oh my god
Planted for him up onto mount
It's a waiting for him
Nana swarms up and over just about catching the assignments
No
He fell off
I didn't take a while, I told him to take it off
He's taking away from them TP up and around
Oh my God, you got him right?
Oh my God, that's so close.
He fell off, I can't even feel off there.
Yeah, the fall-off actually cost him a little bit.
What's that, dude?
So close, this guy.
Wow, yeah, they're going crazy.
They're going crazy.
another tap
Damn
Heretics take the lead 6-5 off the back of Benji
What a fucking scam by the way that blew
Another huge clutch
Oh he actually saw it a little bit
as he eats
It's not so bad he got it
He got it
He's not even running away with this half
But as it is
Chinese squad knocked down to lower economy
And trying to
Trying to control
They don't fuck with the stage control
They kind of missed out on the control of this part of the back
The whole game
They come to us really favor it
But now they're driving heretics into B
It's so satisfying fucking hell how do you kill that? Yeah, it's so hard for true for real. It's so hard to
I don't know it really is
to the prior to
in ways that are
Supremely satisfying both of these guys like
These days like they've all gotten so good at like having variety
One tricks are getting phased out slowly
also interesting how many like
Do this switch the sensible or sense the most become do list like those two roles feel like they're kind of interchangeable
Or have at least
You don't do this fucking sucks. I'm not gonna lie.
There you go, come, come?
That's the man's right there.
That's the man's right there.
That's the man's right there.
So yesterday, you and Papacom expressed gratitude towards Riyans being able to showcase sportsmanship.
Especially when you saw that I give him a hug
yesterday, so what's it like to have an opponent that's willing to kind of come to you through your hard time?
Nice to meet you man.
I think it shows a lot of vulnerability and emotional intelligence as my dad said.
It means a lot to me for sure.
What's up dude?
Are you the Heiratex owner?
Yeah, I am.
It means the world to me.
Even if they were in me.
Can we switch it?
Actually can we swap you for a second job?
I'm going for one second.
It's very fast man.
I just wanted to give you a present, damn.
I'd like to say for the Olympics, I know we beat Sentinels, but this is with love, bro.
Okay, it's with love.
It's the only decent that I do.
That's my man, Minibu.
That's my man, Minibu.
It's for you.
Thank you so much, man.
I appreciate that.
The biggest streamer of bottom.
What is it?
You are the biggest.
Ah, this is good?
Yeah, this is good, this is good.
You guys have a big crowd over here. How have you guys been amazing?
You guys are hyping them up and doing crazy.
It's amazing how they shot, but I think we can do it.
They've come a long way this team. You guys have had a lot of good showings.
I wish you guys the best of luck. I will probably throw us on at some point.
It's great to meet you, man.
Thank you, man.
Enjoy your match and see you. See you guys. Bye-bye.
And the heretics owner
Shout out shout out. I don't know if you want to put the jersey on because every jersey I've worn that team has lost
I'm not disrespecting I'm just saying
I could say
Check W in the chat
I didn't hear what he said
I know
Sorry
Here we go
Yeah I know
I'm losing my hearing I think
Headphones bro
Headphones too loud
What is this
C control
I think it's just such a don't put the church down. I'm begging you
I don't think I should either
We'll see what's the other's going? Let's go to the over armor. It's just
It's so tough to deal with the menace on the pistols
You know
Indicating that this is gonna be a C repop
Nice, you can.
Nice.
Oh my, take it.
Oh my.
Cover, cover.
Nice.
Nice, bye.
Yeah, did we expect that one?
What do you do?
Oh!
That's good.
We had to rotate it too, though.
We'll make them root a day that they decided to bring down that stage.
Nice.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Form factor.
Oh my.
Nice try. Nice try. Nice try.
He said you're the biggest Mauritian, but not the biggest Jersey.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I was like, the biggest Jersey, yeah, that's great. This is great.
He's probably so confused on my response to what he said to me. Oh my god.
It's been a quiet tournament for me. It's been very different.
This is kind of tragic. This is kind of tragic.
He's not going to lie.
Should they have been aware about him? Kind of?
Kind of.
I guess it was the KJ Waterfall.
KJ Nightfall should have been like a tale that someone just like T, you know?
Yeah, like it was always night out.
Those Eski thrifties that we've seen today, the abundance of them.
19 and 9, all these stuff.
Paul's called after the initial pistol round.
Doesn't feel like it.
Someone fucking kicked their shit for sure.
You think attack timeout after the pistol?
I think it would be the first one I've ever seen.
I don't know, I don't think so either.
The one downside of Woot getting all of those kills on the pistol is that no one else is anywhere near an ultimate.
Yeah, everyone's chilling.
Usually the attacking teams on Lotus are going to win.
How many people are on attendance? I don't know, do you guys know?
It's like 10.
So you got another take, Paul.
Is it 10?
Is it 10?
Suspicion was correct.
Is it the biggest or no?
I think Mercedes-Benz Shanghai was the biggest, right?
I think that was...
That one was like what?
13-14?
Tokyo was like 10 or a season and chances like 13 months. Yeah, I heard this was bigger, but I haven't got it like it's their answer like I've heard 15
So we'll be back into the action. What did you guys think of the locations?
You don't like the fairs that much?
It's been a bad experience going down with Christian.
I'm sorry, but it's a different moment.
They got the Olympics, and now they also got...
They'll pass that over and force AC to be the...
I don't know if the two are able to go bar for bar, but...
I think the crowd's going to be good.
I guess it's going to be good.
I think the first one's going to be pretty good.
I like the crowd than he's supposed to be.
I think it's a good little buzzer though.
Yeah, you have to be careful anywhere you go.
If I get there, I'll get started.
I'm gonna go connection.
No bias.
He's still a four versus four.
Shakey.
It's a crazy angle, though.
Drop down there.
Nice.
You might be able to handle on it.
This is Eco, so they're gonna take it.
Nobody left as the final player.
The spike could not be further away.
It would have to make such a difficult journey.
The hero's quest is just no chance here.
Wow.
Look at the unretrievable.
86.
He does it again.
So three piece off the back of that piece.
Even the French don't like Paris?
Oh, OK.
And I'm sure, like you said, glimpses of Shanghai.
Imagine if you hated Paris.
He hates French people out there.
What kind of home is he on this spot?
Really concoct with an home.
He's French, by the way.
Let's just go with him.
He could do it.
He could do it.
I have French friends.
I could do that.
But you would like to see the health points been invested into other people for Team Hereticz to start some threats on the defense side.
This is cool though. Get in a high-low setup from Hereticz.
That's an interesting idea.
Looking to try to punish Kong Kong over CA here.
They tried to do an up-down there.
Signed a utility again.
It's overwhelming. Suffocating.
I feel like heretics are usually pretty like gambling or proactive on their bonus
Especially if team heretics really invest these rubble fights, they can beat them
EDG shouldn't be able to
Come out on top of too many altercations over there even with the
Yeah, Benji have a lot of value especially on Haven right like with the beach trips and camps
Beach trip was a crazy
could potentially be an absolute mistake.
Team Heretics, one for the second half, or DDG, making sure that they stop the bleeding.
I'm looking to get cleared here. Really? We're not finding much. This info, if anything,
is good for DDG to play. Whoa! What a f***ing sweep forward. That was crazy.
He's given that timing. Hand it on a platter, Booth, drifting back into position.
have to evade a lot of this utilt reveal the tags and now he's there sees the
late guys back so late it's not hard to say that's the shot now in the back as
well just a bit of peace of mind
that's right that's hard it's very hard very hard
there's no problems occurring just from the backside of the Benji fishy in
position in place flash the peak and a weapon at hand just not good enough
surely not a flawless more than the key now in that spot
Reends with it. Yeah, I don't know chances that's wrong. He did you with a suit
I'm showcasing that their macro calling can work really really nicely
Inserted over towards this ultra for day
I don't know whether they thought it was completely clear on a whether what are you guys thinking about the way I haven't seen enough
What is it like promising?
Insane
They have a flash on the wall. Yeah, actually insane. So you think it's gonna actually be legit
Yeah
I'm just
I'm not sure on the tag though
It should be like solo Sentinel or it's gonna have to be double Sentinel
She does take this timing
Maybe double again
Yeah probably double
Then you don't have to play like a flash game
You're playing the fake teleport as well
I feel good
I'm not afraid because it was so strong
It's very hard to report something
Yeah that's the problem really
And I love this deal
They push the bomb and they have head control
Because if EG threatens C but it's a fake
They're probably not gonna break that alarm bot
Here though they placed just on the outside of it
They don't have any real ults.
The Minimum amount of time possible to call for rotate.
Yeah, they sneak it up behind it, it's actually kind of smart, right?
Until they hit, exactly.
When you tilt from back cover, get a run.
That it is.
Is there any play to deny waterfall hicks?
Otherwise, EDG could get spanned.
Yeah, they certainly can.
Tap them to the corner.
It seems surprisingly a lot of those plans,
that you're usually really hard to pull off.
Yeah, it's scary
This thing in the
You don't even hear this
I'm the only one who's in. She's out. It's just shit, but like even that small, I do not think too much value snaps the tabba.
Who gets the better end of that? I think you could probably say the attackers because even though she's burnt both of his
He go for a bit of damage. Are you nervous?
It's not it's not it's not a slip at this point. You still believe or not?
You play your plane.
Damn it.
For the ends?
I do.
Nice plan.
I really do.
Captain goes down with the ship.
Doesn't really tell them a whole lot.
Look at this, triple actually, I'll see it
They're playing well, it's like slow and like...
Yeah, back is really good
Hopefully, we're better than them
I mean they were like kinda lost
They're trying to sell the fake
If you see nobody like this
They're reclear it, yeah, aerotics are straight on the money
They know what's up
now, trying to lead the charge for the rest of his team.
They're a smoke stutter, dropped down.
Oh, shot, that's a good shot.
His lights up, Kang Kang, hits, potentially, and he won't.
Here's your shots, all rattled away.
It's all Fenty Fish, he just knotted by the smoke.
Reans though, with a quick timing, unexpected flank.
Simon's watching for it, trying to bait it out.
I'm committed.
Chance here, Reans.
Reans is giving out now as a chance for the hook.
Oh, he's still in back and got him?
Wow!
That was too close. Oh my God.
I need a scythe on the front of you right now.
Do you want to see what's going on there?
I can't believe he came back and still killed him.
That was ridiculous.
Oh, he was in the house.
He was in the house.
Almost a full clip of whiffing.
We had to see that. Don't play it.
Oh, God, that sucks.
Oh, he's showing it in this arena.
I didn't know that.
He's fighting 12 currently. All the utility still looks
perfect from him.
He can't quite wrangle the rifle and you see him here getting
pumped up by the rest of the team too.
This time it's not a disaster.
This time they can...
That was an eco, right? For heart attacks?
Pretty good to know this.
Where are we? One off the pre-show.
I imagine they get that.
Go back to A with the fatal maybe?
Yeah.
for EDV.
If we hit them, the re-show goes kind of hard, right?
Well, back control and leads of the map.
And they actually get ulted online earlier as well.
Spark to fade ult first, and then re-show that
through based on the build, or if you just
do it over the same time.
Two big calls to try to.
Definitely fade the ult first.
Honestly, I think they're very close or not.
In the post, they're not very close.
And they can just be on site after that.
Because the way that team has this plan right now,
it's quite passive.
All right, let's see how they break this setup.
That's a big commitment.
They got two here.
There's another one right there as well.
I can break this one.
Oh, that's...
They both got out.
Oh, they're doing...
Oh, that's perfect.
That is wild that he got out.
He's trying to capitalize on this timing.
Enjy.
Look at that.
Look at that.
That's good.
We didn't see a height in 4.
out broken. It's getting a very good idea that this is going to be one guy here. So it's
best case scenario. I wonder if that's all right. Yeah. They're full play stacked on
A. I'm not sure either. They've got MBOC in this stack there. You don't have to delay,
but I'm not sure if it could be broken here. And I bet you's waiting for this plant.
There's nobody tucked into the corner here now for sure. Just to try and at least
bite on that piece of mind. It is farm straight. Bullets. Classic. Both maids are going
Nobody doesn't play to the corner, clans a little off.
Now here comes this.
He's gonna be offloading the ulti bizarre nightfall.
The later.
He's not doing it.
Connects, gets the mark by the three of them.
No more sound cues for the majority of the
satchel slurs and a bound as well,
but a bullet attack slowing them into there.
A slow, a slow, a slow, a slow, a slow, a slow.
Oh my god.
That's full of real swarms.
Just not, sure.
I can't believe the guy in the box stayed there, man.
What the fuck, how did they all just die?
They were in position to do it. Two players outside C as the plant went down.
They look like they're going to get away with this early skirmish though.
I know, I shot a multi frags.
She's still in good control. Hey, man, bro, I'm really proud of myself.
I'm really proud of myself.
But yeah, I agree with what he's saying.
I think that fight, the like feigning that you're going to fight really heavy over that spot, drawing out the breach super important smog is one off or from that.
Benji's no ult for a while actually.
Elm and ult, actually.
Isn't it strange that Rui is playing fake?
Team heretics, expecting that big fight over Rubble.
Like Rui posted and now they're looking to reinforce over towards C.
I think he can't play with this round, at least not as easy as he would have been.
I wonder why he thinks that is.
He's more aggressive on the ultimate probably.
Yeah, I think he can kind of initiate.
He knows it from the bullet spot.
He definitely knows there's a lot of players' mounts.
GG, look at the tracender now.
That's one of the walls.
A lot of you are still going to be using kind boos.
Quick, but everyone on the side is bad.
What a trade.
I feel bad for the observer.
They're still there happening in the same second.
No, they're wrong.
They're still continuing to carve into these sights.
Everyone is just immediately...
We need 10 POVs.
Yeah.
And Miniboo will make anything obvious.
He's all given away.
He gets one first.
The ult online for Miniboo.
There's chances, but it requires the impetus, a kill, to be found at least.
There's some more than they went for.
Chances dwindling.
Return of fire, swinging assignment, getting this confidence back.
Oh, it's starting to lean.
A lot's been made of the comparison between Kankang and Aspas, because they played in the upper bracket final.
They played many times before actually too.
But when you watch Kankang play, what's striking to me is the massive difference between those two jewelists.
I feel like it's a completely opposite of Aspas.
They're more reflective of each other.
I feel like Kankang is more like you on the list.
Think about what Heretics has recently been saying in a lot of their press conferences.
Let's see what the off every after every kill
Right asbestos more like
Calculated player
Timings we find those players to be more difficult to play against
to the archetype of player he just described.
Neil used safe as an example,
but when you're talking about the matchup here.
You have a, it's not here right now,
but they have like a bracelet
that they're giving to the MVP of the series.
Yeah, so it's so good.
Yeah, it's fucking dope.
And apparently I get a vote on it too.
That one too cool.
I don't know how many people are voting on it,
but I have a vote.
But the fact that you guessed something is cool.
I wish the players fucking all got a medal
just for the game.
Get a box last year, got a box, they already got a box, oh yeah you're right, oh yeah I remember at the end
What did you do last year, was it you or was it you?
I think I was awful like a good dude
It's a bit more winnable, but the defensive setup has adjusted
Is it?
Is it the previous one we played too early?
Yeah, we all got the box on me
Very tough to hold on to mouth against cdg. They've got really great protocols for this
You see the way
Oh my god
Rumble it's edg
Working magic across the map. Yeah, what was going on there?
Was blue late on the call to get the vibe wall up was re-ins late on the on the acknowledgment of the come
I breathe is gonna go big on over to be edg have just been granted an excellent route back in that uncertain
She's trying to make a play
Territic's play
It's fun good trade
Let's swing one to the side.
Not dead yet.
You know where for this guy to die?
Yeah, I believe so.
Oh, man.
Down some chill.
Oh, wow.
Nice.
Punished.
Nice.
And it leaves it down to one.
The rookie.
Double up is crazy here too.
Yeah, he doesn't know where to do that at all.
He's in his map as well with his confidence.
He's going to do it against Mini Blue Benchie.
So I'll put a weapons.
That's the rifle over there.
I don't know if they have time for it though.
He's doing it.
Yeah.
He's out.
It's pretty tough, yeah, what do you do?
You need to play this.
Push, eight seconds.
They're going to win it out.
Press forwards potentially there.
He's overstepping.
He's welcome.
Swings potentially.
Foot steps down.
Oh!
Oh, my God!
That was crazy.
What?
The whole big wall.
Simon's in confidence.
I just hurt that foot.
Dude, that is insane.
That is insane.
Three seconds?
That is insane.
That is cold.
You need to do that one for real.
That is so cold.
No elation.
I actually got some chills from that.
Just satisfaction that he managed to make that one work.
What was that?
He was completely stuck.
Damn.
I hate that whole toilet bowl area.
There's so many weird angles like this.
Yeah, it's a bit.
Yeah, it's a bit.
It's a good one at a time there, if this spacing hadn't been quite as tight.
Wow.
They had that round.
The rest of his team.
Oh my god.
I can't believe it.
He's just giving them the map.
EDG up to 11.
Hold to the back pocket of Simon
Mini Booth hard committed
They hit open GG bros
That's so fast
He's trying to get hold so fast
That's so fast
Don't look to me, don't look close your eyes
Cause it's just getting worse and worse
You know there's like the perfect eco farmer
To put the slide, he gets like 4 or 5 slides around
It's up to 12
There is nothing that Wu is going to be able to do about this
I feel bad for Erisex, there's so many funnels here
He used his huge retaking
There are a lot of teams that have moved away from the idea of setting up one big star player to go in.
Third one, two.
And Dominates.
Bruce is probably like, what the fuck?
But I think EDG are showcasing that with the right supportive elements, it really can work.
They're having too much fun.
We have a lot of smiles there.
They'll like it.
Has the ult on line.
G2 25 and 13 by the way.
You go for that committal at the start.
You wait to see if EDG freshly saved.
I'm trying to get to a drop of 50 right now, it's insane.
Yeah, they're the Spass.
Jack and Gobi, they're all trying to take deep once more.
B-POP is a perfect car, and you need to get it over to Woodspeak.
Overdrive by Can Can, he's in it, not one well.
Everybody around.
Yeah, I literally cleared out most of the avenues.
So nobody with the plan down.
Uh-oh.
Can Can look over.
Look over.
Still with the plan.
No way to stay!
Disrespected.
MidiBoo takes the fight straight to him.
You're insane!
You're a crazy dog.
Look at him, he's got a lot to fuck the whole thing.
Holy fuck, fuck, fuck.
He don't want to say it.
I don't want to say it, but I want to say it, but...
Get off the floor, Barbarico.
That's fine.
The double-up discipline.
No jinx, no jinx.
Have a choke hold onto the side.
That's fine.
Very impressive.
Well done.
Look at him, man.
Look at him.
Look at the crowd pleading.
Look at him.
Yeah.
What a sick finish to this match.
They're so locked the fuck in
The 1v2 that clutch was legit like
I haven't seen I haven't seen a big clutch like that
That kind of that way I guess
For a rookie Simon doing that is just gonna make you so confident next game
I think he's been playing like fairly well with his YouTube
But he hasn't been able to get a lot of kills for himself
Yeah, it's 20 to much so
This next map will be here I think
It's hard. It's hard being support.
He's trying to help everyone else out.
Yeah.
He's still helping to hit.
He helps taking jaw 25, so...
Yeah.
It's just a good support for him.
Well done.
Okay.
I think we're out for a break,
but I want to thank you guys for coming on.
I'm happy to be here.
I appreciate it.
No, I'm not for it.
Shout out to these guys.
I appreciate it, y'all.
I'm going to be back in a bit as well.
We'll be right back.
Bye, everybody.
I'll be right back.
I'm happy that we won today. I felt really calm today, I felt really comfortable playing on the stage,
like in front of a lot of people. I felt like we were in Berlin office just chilling the other day, you know?
Like, it was good. I wanted to prove people wrong that I'm better than people think I am.
No one believed in me, but I pushed myself through, so I just like proving people wrong.
But when I joined this team, I just wanted to win not only for myself, but for the people I worked with.
I saw the boys getting into the grand finals in Shanghai and I felt a little bit uncomfortable,
I was really happy for them and going through I was like also expecting to make grand finals in champions
And here I am now, and I told myself I want that too and now I'm in champions finals
I'm not ready to call myself the best tournament in the world, but there is still so much to prove
This is just the beginning
Turning up the heat in this grand finals best of five. I'm your host Yingsi and I'm back here with Kukuka
I've got Mimi on my left. So I'm one more very very special guest. Give a warm welcome guys to Kaplan coach of sentinels
Thank you for having me. Thank you for having me. Yeah, it's great to have you here now earlier
As else as was here and he was rocking a sentinel shirt
So, you know, I asked him why he was wearing that you got a EDG show on you, you know
I made the claim they would win today. I just wanted to say Jio a bunch practice my Mandarin
It was a no-brainer for me. He's back in it. He's back in it
How are you guys feeling after that map?
I mean, I feel like this is such a massive win for EDG.
The bounce deck was ridiculous on that second map,
but here that second half, they were completely in control.
The mid-rounding to start off was looking ridiculous.
Yeah, one thing I was really impressed by it was,
it's, you see a lot of these instant A controls
on defense on Lotus.
It's hard to wanna do that against EDG
because they have really fast B hits with their comp.
The normal comps can't do with the club smokes
and being able to home and flash at the same time.
They've loved doing little A-fakes into B in the past.
So usually you can kind of play further back,
go to where they're making noise.
They're a very scrappy team, right?
They played super confident in China.
But I think what separates a good team from a great team
is being able to self-ante.
Be aware of your own issues, your own things
that an opponent's going to look at.
And this time around, EDG played way
slower rounds early attack half.
They would get too inserted on A. They'd go back to mound.
They'd wait till like 30, 40 seconds left to hit.
And like EDG last year,
I just never would have seen them do that.
And having prepared there to play their own Lotus
earlier in this tournament,
I would not have expected that.
So to see them be able to get kind of nerdy,
methodical, slow, relax on a grand final stage,
I really think it shows how much they've leveled up
this year.
And at the end of the day,
they're getting the best out of both worlds, right?
Like they've managed to find a midterm
between being very aggressive,
especially also on the defense.
Sometimes they will triple down on being extra aggressive if they know they're going to be countered
and sometimes they're going to do something completely different.
So it's on that boundary of just preparing it against yourself.
And we've got to address Simon.
Whoa, what was that in the lockdown? What happened?
That clutch was ridiculous.
I mean, literally one more second he's locked down.
He guaranteed loses the round, but instead he pulls that one up.
And it wasn't just that one impressive moment for Simon.
I think, well, he hasn't had incredible stats this tournament.
He's been so consistently impactful with his utility.
especially when he's flying breach and Kong Kong is on that neon I think he's on the fly utility especially with that breach done
He's really good to adapt to where Kong Kong is passing find that next fight preempt that with utility and set kung-kong up to
Thrive in these opening kills. He's been involved in already
35 opening fights in the three laps this series. That's more than the rest of the team combined by far
What did you make of him you impressed by him? I'm impressed look on even attack
He messed up a plant. He looked nervous rookie year
IGL change like grand final stage and to go from that too
I'm just gonna stand in this lockdown and just be ice cold like doing that mid mid mid match on that grand final stage
That's no joke. That's not easy. Yeah, they gotta give him a spray for that
I feel like get that in the game get that in the game
But it's time for our Verizon high-speed moment and this was cheat choose A's as the
President of the cheat you thank well. Yes, that's me. That's what did you make of this?
I think that it was beautiful and expected the way that he just verticals across
Getting the boom bot how he touches the prowler if the key literally gets everything three kills in the matter of a second
He goes up with the last one
I love that we also get this lobo to see it again because you think it is just cheech you on the side defendant
You already know that he's playing on tree and it doesn't matter
There's four people coming for him because sometimes he shoots back. Well, here's the thing though can edg close this out
We're heading to bind. Do you have faith coming?
I think they'll do it, but I think they'll do it in five.
Look, you know, like heretics, they have to come right in after another match.
Edg had time to prepare.
But what comp are heretics going to play?
Are they going to go back to the the gecko, you know, the gecko?
Like, I think so.
You know, there's not as much preparation Edg has.
It's more of like a team play brawly fight map.
I think that's heretic strong suit.
I think heretics.
Welcome to Yoni. Yeah, definitely.
And I think that it is a very good point that you're bringing because that's what happened on Ava
Probably EDG are prepared for the previous composition that we were expecting to see
Oh man, out here
And Gekkoa and...
Capital on the desk
I think completely
Love that
Even those who come to you
They've had a lot of pros and desks actually
I'm pretty sure
For the macro of it
Now with Bind
Heritage has the chance to do the same
And they need to do the same
So they want to stay
Like this is our final
I think if there was something to...
This is crazy
Even this for EDG to close
EDG are going hard
Dude, they're going so hard
I'm telling you, they started playing super aggressive
Yeah taking a lot of positions. There's run it. It's fucking double key. Double key. Yeah, I don't even know
even like
Decide like how good sit there. I'm impressed by just the way they're moving on the map like defaulting
Do the other stuff again, or maybe you know river awesome the fortnight kid Benji fishies a fucking goat
It's also one of your new fair players. Yes. You can play so much not the one
I mean at this tournament. He's definitely the one certainly in this matchup
We go way back. We go back to the fortnight days
Now he's fucking here, dude. I just hope that they can pull it together at least take us to map 5
I mean ideally
Off-topic I feel like for night to me is like one of those games that are so impressive
I feel like it's so fucking hard. It's so hard. It's so hard. The old mode is ridiculous
Mechanically crazy
You guys don't know Yoni, he's my manager, came out to the event with me to help out with everything.
He's the man. We've had him on the wash party before as well.
He's been a minute though chat. He's been a minute.
So unless you're an OG, you might not remember.
But he's a vibes guy.
And I'm trying to keep it fun.
No, I think he's an hour-tron watcher.
Are we fine? Oh my God.
Is it fine? Fine. I think I calm my pull-up for a couple of people.
He's here. I see him. All right. It's a scooter scooter scooter.
What do we got? What's up? All right. Maybe we actually know you yet.
You're a good guy. Thank you.
Getting that feeling against the teams like with Heretics with so many individual stars
makes you a winner.
After losing those two maps in a row now, after having a great early lead to the
series, 14 Heretics, what do you think the conversation is like with their coach
right now to bring the back. I mean you get to walk away going look we lost on
their pick we have time to reset this probably throw a little strategy talk
about how you can surprise them on behind a bit and at this point I think as a
coach it's nice because you can just call on the players and empower them by
saying you've already had experience on these stages because check check oh
yeah what's up boys they don't hear me again they don't hear you I don't
You don't hear me? You don't hear yourself?
It's all good though, don't mind it.
Here.
It's all good.
What's up boys? Welcome.
Put a close get. Mind's about you a little bit.
How you guys doing?
Very good.
Are you guys coming from the floor?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, this game has been exciting.
Yeah.
It has been.
How's the energy down there?
It didn't say, like, over 5s, right?
Yeah, and then I just see Kankane stand up
and I'm just like, oh, I'm on the ace.
You sit up on the ace.
We got all over it, but I'm going to lie here.
Actually surprisingly this event he hasn't stood up as much as he normally does
Yeah, but like that was like that was one of the times he did. Yeah, I love it. I love it
He's like a showman, right? Yeah, I would compare him to Boaster I would say meant to be on the camera
I don't know
No, if he does that's crazy, but I think it feels natural like the way I see it isn't natural
I sometimes players will try to force it, but I feel like that's when it doesn't come off as good
I think if it's something that you do just on your own and that's who you are like for example you singing on the
We hear you sing sometimes randomly. You're not I mean you're not practicing that line or whatever
You're just fucking driving out. I'm chilling right yeah pretty much. Yeah
I mean I feel like most of the time like I have a goofy personality
But whenever it comes to competing like I just it's like a different mode
I'm sure for Ian, Ian sees me as just a goofy guy and practices all the time, then match comes and all of a sudden it's locked in.
Yeah, you're saying like, compared to practice to matches, you're a bit more serious about it almost.
Well, you can't be too serious though, right?
Yeah, to be honest, for me, I'm serious, but at the same time, it's whatever the team needs at that time.
If we're too stagnant and too stressed,
I try to just move around and have a good time
That's important to have a guy like that. Like a vibe guy? Like you need a vibe guy. Everyone also knows like who it is for everyone to feel like. You can see it.
It's an underappreciated difficult job. I feel like I kind of had a similar role. I don't know if you would agree but I feel like I was kind of the guy that was also like a bad guy.
It's like it's a burden though. It's a hard job
All right, yeah, we're going live let's go map for EDG fucking bring in the
We're gonna heat
How's your guys audio by the way is it good
Yeah, he's been getting so many
That's what they need. Yeah. Well, his aim is just like
armor here. I don't know. Usual situation. It's just happy.
Everyone's like Fortnite aim. I don't know what Fortnite aim would be.
He doesn't get punished in terms of the money. Everyone's got really good aim.
Every kill you see is insane.
They play that game in the match, yeah.
He's really sexy and like a one-on-one set of cards.
Yeah, that's a good point. We haven't really seen him in whips.
He's on the defense side.
And we're on the defense side.
He swings through.
Tax on ice box though.
That's your fucking map, the tax box.
I don't know what my coach gonna be then, it says first time I've had to do agus around
fucking smiling ears a year, actually me and I was supposed to get some happy
yeah, and you're just you're it's crazy because a lot of the time you're just
fucking like you can even just like you're just fucking confident too
like pressure is not compatible with showers and b-long, tend to fight in those kind of areas
a little eco for the boys, I need you to eat here
Simon, can you turn the game volume down a little bit?
yeah I think you are number one
You can pick that one now every once in a while, but they got a kill.
This Cheetah guy has been insane.
His impact, right?
I mean, he had like 25 points.
Three different ACs from three different members of ADP.
Oh, I think you're right.
It was Kanghain, the last map.
Oh, I think you're right, it was Kankai in the last map.
G2.
Who's the other guy?
Yeah, we actually haven't seen Hoggy in too many cases this event. It might have been Smoggy, yeah.
I got one of those.
Bro, you're hit. Thank you, bruh.
I'm gonna have him excited again for us, yeah.
bonus received so much praise and I think a lot of the community start to
change their mind about their perception of how to give it in that
credit satisfied performance in the group stage was a little dim playoff
It's a life-maver, bro.
I think it's, I thought that, honestly,
Harry Ticks was gonna run away with it
after the first one.
That's what I was feeling,
but I was totally wrong about that.
At this point, whoa.
Oh.
So sad what happened, bro.
Yeah, he nailed it, though.
He got it pretty quick.
It's been, um, yeah, I thought we were gonna go,
I thought Harry Ticks was gonna run away with it,
but that is not the case at all.
They flipped the script.
At this point, I don't even know what's gonna happen.
We have to go through that teleporter.
I think he's going to run away with them.
He's running away with it.
He's going to get like two or three rounds in a row.
They start looking crazy.
Momentum in this game, dude.
It is fucking wild.
Teleporter here.
It's so hard because it's old.
Taking down Chishu.
I swear, the momentum close to the old makes it so hard.
Then it really is on Miniboo.
With Spectre and Nade.
Strong Mentum in the Linton.
I can't hear shit, bro.
What'd you do?
Oh, and there was.
No one is.
You might be holding showers.
You know, control information.
You didn't know?
That's true.
That's why I'm saying I think
G is looking for this fight though
Oh, you know who's the leader, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's been dope like now.
No one's done it, really.
No real util.
That's a crazy crossfire.
That's kind of nice.
Oh, wow.
That's tragic.
I've never had this in my life.
That dog, that dog, that dog, that dog, that dog.
That dog's in theory, mate.
Whoa.
that one still some time right the time is time is getting out of there always
like you might stay on it I mean right
I'm gonna stay on for a little longer because you need to follow it maybe
smoke it like fake the run out of yeah it took everything from EDG that
That sucks even have to get in the opening kill. That's kind of like troll for him to go for that orb like that
Like bonuses, it's good. I don't think they can risk. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh wow
That's the reaction
You all through in gum is that the secret?
Okay, aggressively choose that
You're right about that
Oh
Shit
You're going for a lot of these words
I'm trying to secure him early
And boo the danger man
Look at the ropes, like all the ropes are gonna just be
Yeah, he's gonna have to be cautious as the orb drops, but could backstab
It's kind of hard for them to register a sandwich, no u-haul, no showers
Yeah, I don't get a flash though
I don't get a slam, I'm crazy
Yeah, they kind of fucked up not denying that.
Yeah, one more smoke in the post, it should be EDG, I think.
It's you alls big.
Oh, that's nice.
How's that shit so fucked up?
Oh my god.
They're feeling this.
That was a classical read.
2v3 find up the hourglass
Easy access to any of these players Benji. I got go Molly when we all miss there was a message to be like that
Like one more
going mostly over towards the kind of entrance to left, which hasn't cleared out those positions
so thoroughly enough.
Say it old snow.
Oh, just one.
But they're one off like two or three.
He's now pushed down onto a bad buy, Benjy's.
He didn't save that right Benjy?
He's going to hold over a weapon really, the only thing he has to work around.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Yeah, that's it.
Look at the try of Sandcrunch.
Alright, he's going to have to be that guy right now.
We have DizzyLineup, would seem to suggest that.
Right there.
And Valorant, you don't really, like the guy stays with the gun.
I think he's trying to stay flexible
Yes, for example, you give it to your author
Like you keep it a lot of time
Most of the time it feels that way I feel like do list like a beard do list as I have a guy
Do you just give it to him? I think I think it's really good
I do for the most part Simon. It's just like it just makes more sense because he's just gonna be in the final time
Especially for me as like an initiative player to take a time like I'm not I'm saying this guy up
If you have the garden, you'll be able to get set up.
Yeah, that's right.
You can play the rest of his team in, over the place!
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
We're actually going to Zolz.
That's a big one.
Are you kidding me?
That's massive.
That's a big one.
I'm not convinced.
Yeah, that's big.
That's fucking huge.
That's beautiful.
Well played.
So glad to hear.
I'm asking when we might see Minibu have a big place.
That's not terrible.
I think this is the round you point to.
Really?
I don't have strong feelings about it personally.
I'm getting so upset.
I'm getting like, whatever about it.
You're gonna chill about it?
Yeah, it's a little random, just with the TTs and stuff.
We can do a lot of cool shit though.
Yeah, I don't like hate it.
There's a map I hate it right now.
I'd probably go in the direction.
There's a potential here.
I'm not gonna do that here.
I haven't played it in a while, so I'll be there.
I love icebox, but lately I haven't been loving that much that you sewed, but you definitely can't, but I think you got that one.
I mean you go on RT every time on that map, though.
They're forcing this.
Do you miss playing? Do I miss playing?
I miss being on stage and I miss being with my teammates, like the rivalry, being on a team, I feel like those two things were awesome, but like,
I'm screaming every day and the stress of losing and trying to figure shit out, it's hard dude, I'm not gonna lie, but screaming is just tedious.
One HP in the upper trade, that's huge.
I want to get down to 1 HP, still lucky to be alive.
A little bit of a fast case scenario.
Really good spot here, 40-50 seconds, did he go back?
There's no way he ults, right? 1 HP.
They have no idea where Rienz is.
Rienz could still be playing in Fountain.
They are going to the right side.
They clear out all of these angles
I don't know what he's saying, he's been fighting dogs for sure.
He's a really good kid too.
I saw the clip on stage, I don't know him that well, I don't have him in Wudr Turkish,
but personally I can't speak out of it.
the first time we played against him, I talked to him. I was telling him, like, you've been
playing really well, like, honestly. And then he came back with, like, your, your, something
like, you've already established yourself as one of the go-to-the-game. And then he said that,
I was like, wow, like, it really takes, like, some, like, humbleness, you know, to, like,
say something like that. And then on top of that, like, whenever we lost, and I was
Obviously going through it. Yeah, he did that. I was gonna burn up on away, you know, that's like you don't see that a lie
It's really only though. No, cuz he's like especially after they won like for him to like put that aside and like be empathetic towards
Played like that's not that's just who he is
Benji reveals his hand good kid judge in place Simon's gonna be here in that
There's a lesson out the judge the judge on mine this fucking is it's that's why I hit them out
On that boss, on the ledge, on the ledge, we just go side to side.
So annoying.
Oh god, that's the low.
Damn.
That's so hard.
Yeah.
Nobody just tilted.
That is fucking sad, man.
No worse feeling.
This is where Chishu loves to take fights, but Rien's on the other side.
He is.
Go on the box.
Timing!
Oh!
Stop!
Hold his smoke out there.
Yeah, his timing was so bad.
Smogger trying to evacuate knows that they have to try and retreat, but already
Whipping it around, Woots!
Whipping it around, Woots!
Hyperalty spot!
I remember that round 2-4.
We were fighting with that 2-4 you guys had with the Hyperalty.
You were a good hotelin' guy!
Yeah!
I'm gonna play shorty, then!
Yeah, I'll still be there.
Oh...
Yeah, oh wow!
Dang, dang, dang.
This loving hair-tik sounds really good,
they don't, like, still look like that after.
It's so annoying to make a play yeah
It's interesting girl with that being said they're also not hesitant to make solo
Having a thousand cars
I said earlier about
Simon redeemed himself massively on Lotus with the 1v2 he pulled off. Let's see. I'm sure we'll have his spot
This map seems boring
aggressive with these lures
even though he wants easy
hitably good
can't go too crazy on the rage
he comes in the end and looks disgusting
he has a wall always doing that
he's fucking in there
to say the least
so hard to play
he can't lock it in one second though
alright that should at least
give them some idea of where the danger is
that's alive and many blue now
it's going to be under a lot of pressure
You got that too. You could give it a try.
Control is on, but revealed, uh, there's some danger here still.
Seize connects, they see the Teberant.
What? Yes, I do.
The nasty one pulls it back from the brink, but not before he is toppled.
Arms control.
Put in the preview, Simon.
What is happening?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Simon.
Jesus.
We can't shoot him.
What he just did, you're gonna see it, but he just turned the fuck up.
That was off a Guardian and a Bangle.
Press Eriks is putting them to plant so you can get them.
Yeah, no showers control? No.
Usually when you run Jekyll, the wingman actually never gets the plant down.
And dies as someone else has to plant.
Yeah.
I think it's hard. I think it's pretty hard to say.
It's like so easy to read.
Yeah, it is.
There seems like Q2 that has had the most insane retakes.
Yeah, that's it.
They have a sauce and they're gonna be playing both.
They let you play it.
They're willing to play loosely and make you play tiny.
So sad.
Yeah, like different comps, I guess, right?
Go for it.
Go for it.
I got a line.
You need to look like they have like a new factor.
Whenever I watch their cams, it's like, like they're having fun, but also like playing
so confident right now.
And they're calm too, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Like they know that he's a player.
It feels like they know they're gonna win.
Yeah.
Honestly.
I'm still impressed by the fact that they bounced back so well on Sunset.
I thought it was gonna be a 13-0 for a second. I'm not gonna lie.
This is the tech pause, bro.
Yeah, tech pause ruined the momentum lookout.
What was the tech pause? That 12-2?
And then they try winning rounds.
Yeah.
Nice catch, the fuck.
if you wait out like rushing with this is no decisions either
30 seconds
I guess maybe that's the problem
roots got the info I think that they're all trying to make their way back
he's already holding this down
oh no
oh no, don't lock this reel
that reload is not long
Wow.
Wow.
That's big.
He's got holes off of that.
Oh, God, good patience.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That was massive.
That was low key off the lead.
I'm winning this round.
I would say it pushes the rotate.
What are the odds of maybe we one off ult and getting the fucking one guy at GB?
Like it's a really perfect world for him.
We've seen it ult around the tournament, they're amazing when they're a man down.
I think there's a nice box with a map, she mid, and a guy that's got so many ults,
insta lose round.
Yeah, that happens a lot, but we're like, you have the best lurker in the world,
and then randomly the guy gets cipher ult by killing your teammate.
The classic. The classic.
The space that we took over towards A, letting them know that it was B, the pit scared EDG, they did not want to fight.
They're stressed. They're stressed for sure. They're definitely stressed.
You can understand why as well from EDG's perspective, you think, alright, there's a pit down.
It's a good pause. It's pretty back and forth. I feel like both teams are losing the rounds, arguing they should win.
I would say, like...
Benji with a sheriff front, making something up.
Look big. Look scary.
I think the second one this game, yeah.
the stages. What do you guys think of the centerpiece setup? Where the players are in the center?
Or do you prefer where they're in 20 or like a theater?
I like the center. For me it's more like immersive. Everyone's around you, it's kind of cool.
I agree. I think it's starting to look like...
If you compare the stats when he was playing in groups to when he was playing in playoffs,
the world is different.
People talk about like soft boost and shit like that, but I feel like that totally takes away everything.
just like even higher shit in there it's like you just feel rumbling then it's
like yeah you know it is the ideal setup though but like it's just not it's not
the right experience at that point just play at home literally for heretics but
now he's hitting it's almost intact he's determined up in this grand final
perhaps I love me good size oh fuck oh fuck you just need a man of
I think it's a good idea to play with your fans.
Throw some that fuck out of me.
No no no.
There are good buys for both here.
NK is one off now.
A much more cautious approach.
Kankang went away from the ult.
I think there might be a place towards an ult, but
for now.
Not really forcing it.
Sense his eyes over the wall to your good, please.
Most of it with the boom bots.
Broken, they think something's up.
This wall is different.
Yeah, that's off the middle, which is not like it kind of enough. Yeah, he goes through it. He's like second open
Yeah, usually my balls get too much right
Yeah, the Germans
We ever was trying to hit a chat
On the defense side Benji still got wall up
So much you have to get through C's nightfall exactly. It looks so tough
It's fate all about the destroy that one there
Just trying to bunker down
Did this shit on Haven too bro
Like they started playing so slow
It's a no reason
Yeah, ADG
The action and the fight to be taken
I'm excited about it anyway
Beam down with the Phantom in hand
It's just that one for one and the Phantom Simon
We'll do what they do with the post.
We do have no molly here.
Take the double? Nope.
Reset into the round. Benji was just watching for any sort of triangle.
What do they have for post? They have Cs for post.
That should like stop on full wave.
Yeah.
It's up to Smoggy to hold them back from the elbow angle.
Cs is kind of OP.
Yeah. It's insane.
And uh, post play,
well he's not in a spot too.
It doesn't look like he's trying to.
Whoa.
Yeah, at least the fireballer, Chichurri!
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right.
Oh, fuck.
That's a miracle by Heritage.
That's a big, that's a hard retake.
Pulled it off pretty easy.
I feel like if the fade is like a midfielder with Tether out,
they're going to stop everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow, nice transfer.
Nobody has to swing through the Viper wall.
He's always there.
Let's keep it up there.
Good comes, good comes.
Hardwells, if we were to break like the Tarek spray with
Krabber.
Oh my god.
I still do it sometimes when I use a Fandome.
I said for the Tarek spray.
I said legendary, man.
Yeah.
Hosed in these holes.
That was the fucking thing, man.
The energy run away.
That was literally your thing.
Yeah.
They're in control on both right now.
Now I'm trying to use a Fandome burst.
I'm going to go back to my roots to stick to the spray
and pray, bro.
The Mazzel's Fandome.
It's not looking anywhere near as clean as we could see.
the hardest thing going from Phantom to Vandal this year.
Because I started off the year like Phantom, everything.
And then once with two started, I just played Vandal only.
And I just worked on just like fucking movement and...
It's harder. Artically, it's harder.
You have to be more locked with the Vandal.
If you're like a little off,
with the Phantom you can compensate for that.
Yeah, you just spam smoke, so hold up.
Yeah.
It's fun.
Yeah, I love this.
It does mean that he's got to watch multiple positions.
That is slanted.
I'm not going to lie to see the real estate today.
Yeah, wingman and fade dog.
Hopefully nobody's there ready to bounce on him
when the damage is done.
Simon's going to sling again.
Please, bro.
Simon says, oh my god.
Oh.
Oh.
By the plan of that, right?
I got him.
Over the strike, no damage done, but smoking.
Killed them all across the place.
Sharko, let me do it.
If you're seeking to dominate the angle.
That's scary.
It was just actually, yeah.
3-3 satchels overhead. They have nothing else. They have no more utils.
He has to get into them. Satchel breaks him. Dizzy. Up and over again.
Smote down. Nobody's spawning. And now...
Whoa!
Perfect!
Geez!
I said another 3-3, you know? It's like nothing else.
There it is.
My 3 or 4, at least.
I'm just so punishing, bro.
One mistake that fucking leads to everything.
I mean, Bench didn't even fuck up, honestly.
They couldn't deny windman
I'm gonna try to shoot windman
Simon also will play
Make sure that they focus on plant denial
They're gonna put EDG in really difficult spots
It's beautiful
It's literally beautiful
Instead when you let them get the lander
It's almost good
It's a lot of teacher
Yeah, it's a lot of teacher
EDG come into this
The final round of what could be the first time for the final map
Orbit of strike for the thrash
I didn't have to brim with that Gekko, yeah.
That's what he does, let's see.
Just in case a thrash was.
It's like so annoying to beat him.
He's here, though, so Tetherall will be like, huge.
Sorry I didn't go up for that game plan, though.
Simon's going to try and fake this presence.
Is the nightfall going to be enough, though?
That's a question.
They don't have map control over the walls.
That's pretty annoying.
Very much all in.
That's it.
The fake?
Map control over the walls.
Oh my god, he doesn't brim all.
They tried to bait it out, I think.
It did.
It looks like they want to crash.
It looks like they want to crash.
This is crazy discipline.
mini-boo sorry does all
Go for this one now small you know back being held up cheat you watching onto the angle
That's the Ian Vandal
We're fainting on that one now.
Yeah, that was a annoying guy.
Oh, he went through.
He went through, almost killed him.
He bounced.
Wait, what's going on now?
Stick it!
Look at him, wait!
No way, right?
Oh, it's a handball.
Yeah, uh...
He's fucking Aaron.
Well done, dude.
Wait, okay.
And if they run a universe, if EDG were to witness,
who gets match-ed, or who gets MVP of the tournament?
But there's an award now.
Is it for the series or is it for the events?
The player that was trying to do that.
The player that was doing it was for the last series.
He's been in the incredible thing.
The football bar.
Who gets it for EDG if they win?
Alright.
Is there someone from a different team?
Is that what you're asking?
Is there someone from a different team?
Is that what you're asking?
Or are you saying the goal will be true?
I don't think...
Who gets it from EDG?
Well who are the two guys that stand out right now?
Probably GQ or GQ, right?
Yeah, and then the worst part is, I guess, some of that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah, the one we do.
Yeah, the one we do.
Yeah, the one we do.
Yeah, the one we do.
That's how you guys enjoy the match, I see I know it's something.
That's G2.
That's Korean fried chicken.
That's my first event as a November player.
Yeah.
I'd rather obviously be here playing, but either way it's insane to be here.
The atmosphere is incredible.
It's just overall great.
I mean you can hear it, right?
I don't know, I see what it's going to be.
I don't know.
I see what it's going to be.
I don't know.
The opening ceremony was absolutely crazy.
I was up there, I could just feel the whole building shaking.
It was insane.
Oh yeah, it's a party here for sure.
Now you both played against Team Heretic and EDG in the past.
How would you compare in contrast, rather, their styles?
I think both teams have insane amours.
Like, this, you know, either way, I'm not gonna lie.
I had EDG going all the way, but I had them winning this,
but I think Hereticz to pull this back and make it in five maps.
What about you, Trun?
I thought Hereticz was gonna win at the beginning,
but now seeing how EDG's playing, I gotta go with them.
Oh, well, that seems to be how this map is going.
Also, we're talking about the Shared of Heribas.
Oh, my gosh, listen to the crowd.
I gotta ask you guys, who's taking this map?
I think of heretics when the math are winning the series, so I say heretics
Trent I gotta go against you. I'm going edg
This is blue the field right over.
I was thinking about it, at least in America, in the NBA,
we don't have these type of crowds.
I think in Pacific and China, they both have these kind of crowds.
Might be an advantage for EDG, honestly.
Because they've got this.
It's very real.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which way this one's going.
Crowd being on your side, with ICI,
I think it's possible for the Heretics to still get back to it.
You should put on the Heretics jersey to support them.
He wants me to jinx Heretics.
Wow.
Yeah.
Who are you with it?
I had Heretics winning.
I'm not really hard for either team. Just honestly whoever plays better deserves it. I think either way is pretty high.
You did you win obviously like crazy for China. Wow.
Fight on the flank here. This is pretty tall, 35. I do not believe it.
Hard challenge too. Yeah, I'll try.
Wow, that's pretty big pistol round is in the palm of the hand
It's a start of it. I feel like I can spiral really quick if you lose
What do you call it?
EG did look a little shaky on that attack side macro
Which is a wild thing to be saying considering that they still don't
This one was hard, but especially on blind you're saying right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's extremely brilliant like that.
This composition offers you so many ways to play.
like, poetic at this point.
You guys know why, uh, why did...
EGG Danesense, if it's...
Heretics is permanent, man.
You guys aware about that? Apparently that's the case.
Yeah, yeah, that's what it is, whatever.
Yeah, that might just be...
They both have banned that map.
13, here he's in a row.
Oh, so they've...
Is it permanent? Is it permanent, basically?
Okay, I see that.
That makes great sense.
And probably EGG think they're the better team,
so they just...
They're like, play our best map, which is true that we're better.
Don't worry so much about their weaknesses, focus on what we're gonna...
Yeah, yeah. I like it.
Well, maybe a bit of bait there, trying to see if Team Heretics would accelerate.
Because EDG were stacking with four players on B.
Looking probe.
Defense gonna get spread of hard a little bit here.
Longer a stack than truth.
Heretics happy to slow it down.
No point walking into your own demise.
It takes two players not flying up in this round, there's some flexibility that can afford a couple of deaths without it knocking the economy.
I'm looking for Trienn's car.
The car's slowing down a bit.
The crash online.
We're happy to go and try and take this space. Just look at the information.
He's not worried about dying because he has one of the players for just a go.
What a fucking kill.
Sad earlier damage.
This ghost skin is crazy.
turning and shots to potentially be found. Smoggy looking to try and push back, dismiss, but
it's all over now. All he has to do is hold Smoggy here, and the Cs will hold Smoggy very
permanently to the spot. Well done. Very good. That's how you win an equal, I guess, huh?
Hold for one minute, then one guy search. And now, this is where I'm
beat. Asking Reans to throw the weapon away to somebody else, you know, put it on
What was it?
TSM.
TSM fans are still waiting.
They're in the middle, so maybe a chance.
Yeah.
It's against the League.
What is happening?
All right.
All good.
That's a dope for ADG though.
I played.
Yeah.
That was really good.
There you go.
So ADG do a bit of damage.
All right, that's a go for EDG though.
I played, yeah. That was really good.
They saved two out during the rifles.
So EDG, do a bit of damage.
That's a really good DG threat, though.
Yeah, the map is like the old cycles are so important.
The old cycles?
Yeah, it's old, bruh.
Heretics are in a position here where they could start snow-balling away on bind.
For EDG, I'm guessing.
Right.
Who's my MVP pick?
That normally implies to give us a bit of a pacey
I mean, I think I would be in towards 10k
I'm going to do this a lot of the time
There's the reason that
It opens it up for everybody, right?
I don't know, I don't think about it
What is this?
What?
Bum's control there
I think it was going to be more impressive
Like, to do this obviously
Obviously like the battle
King is like at least for this tournament like the perfect dualist though. Oh, yeah
Yeah, it's very tough
It's time maybe just like just like not
How are you going to gap close?
He definitely is like the best of both worlds right now.
45 seconds into the round.
He's definitely evolved.
No control of A.
Sure, mini-boos on a judge.
Straight into the judge.
There's no saddles either.
Oh, these are the moments that could just lose you to Grand Finals.
You're going to hear the heartbreak of many of these players.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
Nice guy.
guys are owning man there's so much danger going for a play like that
who's the last to win a 1v4
it's one party he's here but not a 4 out there
how have they got away with that?
due to the double that is perfect insanity you're brave to be making a
clear like that you aren't brave that was a bonus especially when the player's
going to judge on the other side but G-ship is so clean with it
guys uh he shots these two yeah perfect
The deadly duel. A two-headed Hydra, I think EDG has proven to be over the course of this tournament.
Oh, yeah.
With Kankang and Chishu topping the scoreboard in so many of their maps, creeping closer to a potential finish.
We might be getting to that point.
Their eye jinxed.
Like that.
Let's see.
Did you say any of that yesterday?
Uh...
No comments.
We'll start coming up, it'll start getting pretty...
No, I don't think I...
I don't
They have pushed back the defenders on B, but Simon, they're yet to call a rotate.
So much more fun when there's not just up kills every round.
I feel like this whole entire VO5, there's rarely been enough, it's just insane in.
In fact, I don't even think they know what I'm talking about here.
Smoggy to take contact.
I guess the Neon picks.
That's been a big part of that too, but even regardless.
Smoggy!
as their contact court players are falling to fire evasion.
What a good play.
Wow.
It's a two-wild attack back to back.
That's true.
So with that shot, I'm not sure if I'm
going to get 2v3.
Oh my god, wait.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
It turns into a two-versus two.
He chews.
It's on.
He chews.
Let's kill him.
Out.
Oh, he's out.
That's a hit.
There's no one to play.
We're going to die.
Kind of cost them, man.
Why do you run so fast?
Just to finish that task, I'm getting to eight.
It's off.
Wow.
It takes a while.
those final two players might came at the perfect moment to
swung out into front site thinking that you should and Simon were going to be in
you know over towards how do you have to run short so yeah there was ready for it
over here you don't have any shower pressure it's set up though yeah set up
water I guess if someone on team heritage should manage to take an
earlier lurk timing a crew would really try to limit
I would ask everybody. You guys think it's actually viable?
Yeah, I think so. I think I'll clean a lot of the maps.
Like the Boring maps, I mean like if you run the new agent,
you'll spice it up a little bit, especially Ascent.
Ascent in particular?
Yeah, because Ascent, also like all the dive maps,
or just the jet that just fucking sends it on tech,
you definitely have to play differently.
You can't find moments much bigger than you.
What happens if the new agent becomes better?
does like, like the space making the worse, like to become less
it's like a possible, if you're shit, you dash and you just know your teammates are going to get walled off
and so
what do you do actually?
how about that also?
I don't know, I don't know, that's whatever
the thing is, my team gets decode, so I don't know if they're going to press the ult or not
if I have a sheriff, I'm going to press the ult
yeah, that's my bank sheriff, right?
yeah, that's my bank sheriff, man
he ain't done all of that
I don't think we're applying enough pressure early enough to figure out what
I can't believe the seven strings though by the way
Yeah it's so
It's a sample size really
Yeah
Round 15 was when they had you fracture
I think that was it
I didn't even
They're never breaking
I just got you a shoe
They just don't fuck with us
I didn't even love it that much back then
But now that it's been gone for so long
Correction
Yeah you just saw a lot of cool shit on that map
Yeah
I feel like that was like the most creative like you could get
There's so many ult dwarves in so many like different spots
You know how many layers to it. Yeah, well the crazy thing is pro coming back with no change
I mean the goal for EDG in this role, not just the way that's going to be played too often
With like no changes on anything
The map does are like going through it. How about Breeze coming back, adding walls, moving walls, moving map
As long as it's gone, they made the right side of it
I love Breeze, man. Come on
Hurtix had that chance to go home
So, we're offers
Yeah, we're offers and fucking dual map
So the way that it sometimes sucks, you just say it when it has to hold around here.
Oh, wait.
Just the prowler.
You're getting good space.
Look at the breeze.
Yeah, he has TP locked down.
Disrupts his high load and there we go.
Oh, they're going back.
They're going to catch him running back.
Oh my god.
There's no way they're going back.
Who is not playing this, Brad?
If he gets his kill,
Oh
It should drive up a no one, nobody the hell of a toss that Marshall Marshall they
need to be Benji I'll think I've ever seen him pick up a
Yeah, that might be his first like Marshall Kills on there.
That is a big thing.
They almost got the third too, so close.
It's also like, they got good situations for ADG, they keep you that too here.
They were set up for this.
I feel like they just killed that.
Did they overpeek that?
Yeah.
Oh my god, he got so high.
I feel like you get more, you get a lot of kills in the round for sure.
You're just writing your teammates to close it out.
Yes, I agree with that.
That danger lurking every corner.
Oh.
Uh-oh.
They're eating up.
There's a fast flank.
I feel like you probably feel like that one's got away from them a little bit.
Sure.
It's really nice for them.
It makes it so many rounds like this.
Ah, we cut it off.
We're still holding.
Hold on.
The pieces can you
You are still available
And valiantly give his life for it, I'm sure
They're making the right moves, like, pulling up the off run here is good, because we're not going to expect that, and the kind of ingredients are utility.
For the awful, for sure, going to pick a lot of contact plays from Headsix.
Definitely, like, get a pick and make them play differently.
It is, call it.
I do love the way that MiniGrid is very specific.
Yeah, it happens many times now. It's just that Headsix won lane this half, and he won now.
They did really well
But these two teams have been playing so well.
I'm not going to lie, watching the open ceremony from backstage
like last year was fucking insane.
Like you're just staring up, everyone's going crazy.
Now you're about to walk on to it too.
I think coming out of rounds like this,
they tend to be more measured.
I was sad I missed out the personal walkouts with the one
by one.
I think Jeremy actually looks higher, bro.
Yeah, I think they killed the walkouts.
I like that they had all the dancers going down
and interacting with everyone here as well.
We'll have a stage lift up.
Tournament.
Yeah, the board dancing above it.
The PCs go down, right?
They do so.
Yeah, I want to say.
Things they wouldn't have dared to dream
of only a few months ago would be realized.
Four ults?
Holy fuck.
I'm both.
I mean, not only did they pass the car.
No op actually comes out.
At this point, they're dreaming.
I made ults on the board.
This is the culminating moment.
All of the year.
Three in, one off, too.
2024, crowning Jule for VCT.
I don't really want to combo this.
Simon pushed out so good work maintaining shall we play start of the round start off that might be useful might be important later on
This is about to be an overwatch around
Simon's gonna look around it's still gonna be clear that on me
There's abilities going on for like 10 seconds
That's what's on us from yeah, that's really hard
B site, I think you're a green box job is back site and someone else was
Because look at the positioning of nobody in chichu they just fool
Simon though he's playing I love listening to the casters though and those cash rounds cuz they're just like trying their hardest to know what's going on
He is alone, but it's only who to deal with he's ever something pretty good
Is there any circumstances short
Could complete the change the time it is flashes there this missus that there's he
Wait what?
Hi, what?
That's my...
What's happening? I don't know what happened there.
Oh my...
What actually didn't happen?
What?
I was so focused on the flank, by the way.
They rolled from the flank.
This is nice. You didn't see it.
I can't even sign this one out there.
He gets the kill there to the melee Kung-Kung as he's not killed, literally bombed down his team.
He just goes fight down again, swings, kills, smoggy. If he does kill smoggy, there's 5 seconds left.
I haven't tried it.
The round would probably have been over.
He's been catching a lot of hype.
I haven't. I was fighting my demons to not try it, but...
You guys still change your settings a lot?
Or not much?
Honestly, not anymore. Only crosshairs.
I think I'd go through four crosshairs on mass.
You need to evacuate, but we're gonna be out of this.
I feel like crosshairs are like a safe one, because there's like a lot of placebo-like presence there.
Great shot
Finally learned to not change my sense, took me only...
Sense is dangerous
It took me 10 years of playing with the G-Video games to figure that out
Yeah, I'm dirty on our hands possibly
Maybe
That's a...
That's gold
The plan is not to like...
They just control no A
The Viper needs a G
They're gonna be pushed to this corner
Lang's on line and now they're...
Flanking
Flanking
One of the rogons
Making noise
He's gonna dump everything
Keep going
More and more
It's not a fight into the fight into the fray one time. Oh my god. Oh my god
Imagine you can actually go down in a moment. All right, what a man is most now Simon. It's gonna do it all
Yeah, I'm in hands
If I look a little longer, maybe there's a real good chance. I was looking so promising
It's so fun
Yeah, they are. They're really going for it.
They're stormed off into the lead.
A four-round advantage now for a team that's been in these spots before.
And actually, as the series got deeper and deeper...
They're covering up. That was the big one.
That play ended up trickling off.
They couldn't match the pressure of the moment at Shanghai.
Ooh, Turkey Watch party, let's go.
This is a different heretics.
You know, buddy.
You were there before this, right?
Yeah, I was. I went to Turkey.
Then to New York and out here.
It's a bit worldwide friendly jet lag is real if you don't go and clear that you're worried that retaking Sun controller all turns
Two ups and they're out of my details
That's the first two ups of the map. Yeah
The final round
That's tough. How many champs grand finals have gone map 5 none
Can't tell if Kanghang had another zone because I was 3-1 in play. I don't remember
When Benji can just lock
Sounds like
I can feel it. They know the Benchies market. You can't really get active into this moment,
but. Oh, okay, I mean, trying to go into this map at this point. It's all stacked against
We supported, but today
We've seen that like safe to guys here
Sports, it's almost unfair to ask it up
So working to the team is first international event ever in the ground finals of Charles
But his composure and his aim look clean at the moment
It was saved
No armor to go along with it though
Another archer tool that they could use.
Oh, Molly.
I think it's a fake, you can raise it.
Judge, close for it.
In the driving seat, nobody.
Touch themselves close, a bit of stress.
Pass them.
Oh, my God.
Tenton around them, eventually.
Found and dropped.
I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna ult in the hands of Kangkang.
I guess I'm gonna ult.
They hit him off the hole.
They're gonna have to.
Oh my god!
He's fucking killing me!
Oh shit!
I don't want to know the feelings!
Yeah, I haven't seen that in so long.
Wow.
That is beautiful.
That was a kickback shit.
Yeah, that was right.
You guys saw the 1v2 on a map for Simon.
Where he stuck the KJ holds.
Stayed inside.
Was that not nasty?
That was crazy.
He started second guessing and he was like, shit, I look like I don't know.
Yeah.
I haven't seen that in a while, but on top of that, we've seen a lot of situations where
the guy blocks the guy, gets an extra start.
So I think you guys are doing it.
Oh yeah.
You guys are the first.
I remember you were doing it a couple times.
Yeah, we did it a lot.
The series.
The finals.
Yeah, the start.
Yeah, stopping the start from getting him off.
They need is one and what it's doing to the fans down there and imagine
Are we geckos? It was a gecko's troll there?
It was a fan
The fans have to put it in there
It was unlucky
Maybe, maybe, they're molly, then gecko molly, then all
Cause they're gonna be trying to rush towards you
You know, that's true
If they more sense by far, they're like, make that decision
Exactly
On the inside the sequence is going to be better
Neil looks stressed out
Oh fuck
They're going through it
Sure, man
are they broke here
this is their last gun round right there
if they buy here they'll be broke for last time
so they might even buy that
alright they're second
I think they need to like dispense
like almost all of these all
otherwise
Gekko's gonna get his all
I think you're gonna have to buy here honestly
get away with the half buy
make sure you use all the old
I was having like some headsets in the game yesterday, like randomly like in a round I would
like okay so yesterday I did like a flank or something and I pointed at John, John like
And then all of a sudden my headset just like went out and I was just like, it didn't do anything I liked to do.
And then I have to, because I can't hear, I have to do this to the admin.
Otherwise I just can't communicate.
So they didn't pause it and break it?
Yeah, they did.
But it happened three times.
You see, thank you to Ali's crew.
Meditate.
Audio issues are the worst, bro.
In the zone.
Focused.
You guys max your shit out when you're backstage?
Really?
I know.
The white noise is usually pretty good.
Not max, but it's pretty loud.
Screaming people around here.
Similar to at home.
Like, once you have the big headsets on, the inners.
The white inners.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not bad at all.
The inners never stay in, bro.
Really?
My inners fall out.
What's around you?
The yellow tips.
The ridiculous.
I was going to say that's meta.
Is it no way?
Is it no way?
What about the slimes?
We've got, uh, what is it?
I am
I think I see a shot of course comments blanking
Oh my god, I drove that to the ground
Dude, it's a psychological game that you have on the other team though.
It still works.
Yeah, it looks over me though, I'm the central one, bro.
I'm trying to flank and there's three people close to me.
They're waiting for me.
They're like, oh wait, we got Scythe.
If he goes first, you should come out later.
And then we got the flanker.
It's him.
If I'm saying, would you die if I go?
And you're quite activated.
I remember, but this is the first global tournament
where they've had their full team.
You're talking about the first Shanghai.
And how was it?
I was in a 1v2.
I trolled it at the end, but remember,
I was in, I used something and then I just instantly flanked on a base and then I just hear my whole team starts giggling and they're like
It's happening
I remember one of your flanks on a base, it wasn't that one, but where you waited and your team's two guys were playing
That one was really good
I love that you waited for the retreats coming
I remember that round specifically, I was like, cause I got a first kill on site right?
So I knew they knew I was on site and then I was like I was half HP and I just I think it was UNS right?
Yeah, I was just instantly like guys I need y'all to recheck site they're playing out
I'm just gonna go walk away
I think you tap you died I killed two and then I recon blue window
and then that's what it stands for.
If we go onto a base, if that's the next map we're looking at,
we've seen DRX earlier on in the tournament
have that denial of the Astro pool post-punt set up.
My pause is just rigged.
No, I think that pause is good here just to build a hide.
It was potential last round.
It was a tension.
This is what happens when you plug in shit in the back.
They're just like, you can see in players.
They're like, yeah, they're smoking pills.
Here we fucking go.
You shift.
All right, back into it here.
So we think that they should use all their ults here,
right? Because I go hard on this point. Yeah, ideally this could be everything. If heretics
lose, Benji never out of having never stable. I think it's going to be with all these old
depending on plant money as well. Most ideal right? Yeah. Otherwise we could be looking at
all the time. Just doesn't hit enough. It all rock it out. The gold's online on the heretics side.
Do like dog and hooker and habitat, you fade all the braids all the time. Yeah. It looks
Looks like they're trying to disguise Kankang.
I want to see if they're going to go for that.
They're just going slow, but they're going to move it slowly.
You're not going to expect that, Wafa.
This fight for a long is so annoying.
The T-Bone from both teams, like, attack and defense,
but you also walk up and look into it after the attack here.
Every exploration.
Open that face, Kankang.
We'll have to respect this to some degree.
Doesn't know if they crossed up.
OK.
That's the first amount of Utah.
We're going to keep them on the stack, though.
They know.
once more renewed refresh.
It's scary for Tank Dan, bro.
Really good, Molly.
Thank you, Mike.
You're the best.
You're the best.
You're the best.
Oh!
Oh!
No way!
No way!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh!
Hell of a damn order!
Oh!
You're the best.
You're the best.
Oh, my God!
We're at the front.
Molly as well.
We're at the queen.
That's insane.
Oh my god, that is so unlawful.
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
They're on the NG train.
That was a lot of their ult.
This raise paid.
That is the worst case scenario in UBRA.
Oh my god.
I
Was
Instead of his usual 1110
When the pressures all the old says fucking around he's got
They used all their ult.
Vibrals though with the judge?
They did.
Have Gecko ult the counter though?
Yeah, true.
I'm pretty sure Gecko and Brimmer are about to switch and they're going to get Brimal.
Pretty sure.
Smoggy gets his ult right here so well.
He's not going to play in approach.
See, they're going to play in approach.
They have ult.
They lost that Brimal to you.
They lost that Brimal to you.
This is where Kankang should be looking to pick up the rifle. He does.
They have thrashed to try to cover him. Still, many chances for EDG to take it over time.
Fine control, watch for it.
Trash is going to be clearing. Cleaving the way through.
Path potentially. Here, lying in wait. Thrashes down.
Oh my god, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait!
They have no mobs.
Rift mode, Rift mode. No way, no way, right?
That's the way to, right?
Yeah.
I know that is great.
She was having a fucking serious...
Jeez.
Wait, I didn't realize you...
You heard so much shit coming up.
You want to fucking pray to me.
Damn, bro.
You don't block the holy light?
Dude.
That is ridiculous for it to end that way.
Jeez.
Oh my God. That's extremely nerve-wracking.
I'm a supporter.
I'm not going to stop at any other way.
GG, okay.
Is it a backroom break?
Yeah?
Yeah, backroom break.
GG's shout, we're going to be right back guys.
We're going to be right back, GG's.
I'm going to do this, I'll show you.
I'll drop my first.
Go ahead.
Oh, sorry.
Put it down.
Yeah, there you go.
Damn, what an ending to that.
Actually, what an ending.
That's so good. Yeah, that's so good. I hope I didn't run ads too soon. Just delay
Hopefully it came at a good time. Matt 500 feet chat. Yeah. Oh my god. Oh my god
Okay, I'm gonna go for a bathroom right chat. We'll be right back. Be back in a second. You're a buck
I'm gonna turn him up for a second one second
It was so many these scrappy rounds from team harritix winning eco after eco just to stay alive in this finals
Yeah, time after time we see as you're saying heretics really trying to cling on everything that they have winning those very important rounds
The timers are coming in the most important times
But we have to highlight mini boo just having the best utility that you can as a jewel is when it comes
To this Ecos on the other side
Edg also got a lot of rounds that they were not supposed to but my biggest point of concern is those retakes that we were seeing at the
the end of it, EDG was not really able to win them.
I mean, speaking of retakes, though,
I saw also the start of the game.
Team Heretic wasn't doing their fair share of that as well.
One of the first attempts at A through LAMPs
was abysmal, like you don't even have to go in there,
and I know that side show pointing out on the cast
about the placement of the mosh pit.
But I have to agree with Mimi about how that last round
was a big story about how the entire game went.
It was sloppy, it was back and forth,
you couldn't predict it until the very end.
just because it's just individuals shining at specific moments.
Yeah, and speaking of individuals, Minibu, what a time for him to come along.
We heard it from his coach, Neil.
He is not just the frags.
He brings so much to this team.
Yeah, and we also heard it in the PMI.
He wants to feel like he can be the best duelist out there.
There's so many conversations about all their players up there,
especially in his own team, right?
But he wants to be part of the conversation.
He wants to get this trophy to prove it to himself.
absolutely does and I mean facing Kong Kong on the other side I think he has to
we haven't seen as many of those star moments from mini-boo this tournament I
think a lot of it has come down to being very much an assistant player getting
traded out in the lot these days but the games where he is still playing that
hyper aggressive style setting his team up for success but also winning a lot
of those opening duels and having those individual impact rounds as well
but the game is getting sloppy like you were talking about in this match
Yeah, it is really important to have him playing like this. Yeah, I was gonna say when you get into these really sloppy fights
I noticed from the side of team heretics
They would be fumbling around with their abilities like some people would be taking out ability like dizzy coming out
Or always coming out from boo and the only person that's really on point with how they're able to handle that chaos when
Situations get really messy. Mini-boot does shine on pop because he's so quick. He has to be afraid
You want to lose on buying and you saw it on on the faces of those players
It's heartbreaking because you can tell that the pressure is getting to both of the teams or both of them
Loosen the advantages loosening because not being able to think through
It's all about that resilience
Well, as you talked about, the eco's happening clearly.
If you lose a pack around it because Amalik gets blocked
or because you get eco'd by Sherrods,
you have to bounce back and get that next round right after
a relatively recent match.
We're seeing that in both teams throughout,
and we're going into the last five.
That's good to have.
No player that has made it to one of these stages
before none of them have made it to the top
or the international event in Valorant.
Intuitively made it here.
show the world earlier moments for T-hacks.
The fact that you've been investing across the world
back then, when they were losing in that final.
But now it's champions, it's another level.
And then how do you get back to those second place finishes?
Using that motivation to come back in the real life.
The body block?
You can use it as a motivation, but you get the ghost
on your back and get it on your way.
And in the next round, the same way as you're going to
get blocked, I was here in this position.
And the pressure took the best out of me.
We're saying they do not want to come second again.
But you're thinking to the situation right now, they should be very comfortable about a best.
I think that they lost that they had against Lee Yubank yesterday.
Has to do also with the composition and how we're trying to deal with it.
But it is not something that we're going to see from EDG.
Honestly, it feels like Deja Vu almost, they was heriting.
But I was on the receiving end of that show, the boomed on that last mapping shot.
I thought they were in the previous Grand Finals they were in as well this year.
But EDG, they've never even played the best part of the course of this stage.
I just want to make sure that they're not going to be boom going to this map.
Well, I feel like the challenge is probably...
You know what you want? When I look at these teams, though, and I look at how the games have been progressing so far.
Starting from that haven, even especially in that load, how these big team brawls happen.
Pound for pound, these guys are toe to toe with each other, and it's difficult to predict how big this game is.
And it does come down to your performance, right?
What I look for in this map is that I'm during race is about how they're able to stay selected
and which team is able to build a string of four or five rounds in a row except just back to back
or two rounds at a time, switching it up.
I know we questioned the style of D-Carousel. Does it take a look at the agents?
Maybe we know what this comp does. EDG, surely will have the monster.
Absolutely. I mean, Bokke's comp play a very similar style.
For me, a lot of this is going to come down to the mid-control.
I don't see any tears, don't worry about that.
I got no horses in the face, man.
Give me the jersey.
Give me the jersey.
I'm on baby.
I think providing pressure there is so important to winning
on your big house, Eleanor Bicks.
Yeah, when we talk about the pressure,
we acknowledge Ben just playing on the cipher,
but EDG does not have that sense.
And we need to see the value coming out,
because I think that for EDG,
it's double the joysticks that do lose.
Well, they're trying to replicate a little bit of what
they do on Lotus.
When they could slice off the map,
they could force the fights, which they
I'm the drink
The first
I think we deserve our stories EDG getting crucified by their fans early this year failing to live up to expectations
Hit the door open here a chance for Chinese team
Game five
I don't know how this is going to play out.
We saw that at Shanghai.
But that's what they went through.
I think it worked so much for the Brazilians in Shanghai.
You can see it in the way they play in their tenacity,
rather than the manner in which they fell over.
So they're still applying a ground right now.
Now, heretics, they have a very high success rate.
They know they are hateful of anything in Street 3.
Yeah, but there's no one to stack off here to a stun, just stab.
They have the stats, guys. They have the stats.
They have the final clap.
Numbers online, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Look at how EDG takes base on this map.
It's all about the smokes.
They smoked over towards B and A main.
Normally, where you would see defenders put the smokes,
just so that they could take control.
Share one midline.
Recon also gives them priority onto angles.
Oh, Farty almost played it off.
Miniboot.
Yeah, that's gone and down to 1 HP.
I saw I saw that's actually not
Rotations are forced and damage still yet to be done nobody
reveals his hands.
He's using the timing.
Come on.
He's dropped instead.
That's way too aggressive for nobody.
Just giving away the advantage.
All right.
One, two, three.
You get some.
The return of the fire.
The return of the shot.
The robotics is crazy.
I'm not going to lie.
They're far.
You're going to jump.
The rest of my time is up.
Given these players so much space to go and play with.
Benji probably won't jump.
His position is ridiculous.
He boos on what, 13?
It's so slow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Somehow, Miniboo and Benji are reading into it.
Slowly clearing this
But you can see the game
So many kills.
That could have changed the round there.
Surprised he got caught by that one.
Look at that smoke being thrown. Astra smoke on B main.
Omen smoke on A main.
Makes it very, very difficult for Team Heretics to contest these lines.
So they are.
And then when they hit the site, they can still use the Astra.
It left them a star.
It stuns in certain areas. You can stun Nade.
When it comes to Bungie, they still have enough smokes.
No matter the situation the weakness of the composition courses, and they don't really have that blank watch and it's something that
They can take some space
These guys love
Both teams I would say actually just love things go so slow and I think credit to them
they're not rushing the issue.
They have pistols but we're going to take our time and figure out what the fuck's going
on.
You see some teams just slam.
They're not out of any round.
You know like they have to...
They have to face the first couple rounds.
Don't you know...
It has to be the mentality here.
They're very far.
They're very far.
Give it that a spike here.
They might be out of this round.
Give it that a spike here.
Shot off, Chichu doesn't want to risk.
They might be out of this round.
Down here.
I guess not.
Here.
Hands it off over towards Simon, goes to the plant as well.
He's going to be close.
Big hole there.
Puzzle to divide.
On the way out.
Puzzle to the mission.
Chichu can go hunting.
A world chance to be decided in the place.
Because we divide is massively.
It's fine because I think it's...
Sight as well.
Actually, both sides.
They're jumping.
Throwing it down to be able to get Chichu.
Oh my God.
Got W.
They did it.
They realized it.
Saw him.
It was one of the best.
They realized it.
Saw one of them just want to wait.
Yeah.
Maybe they'll say, yeah, yeah.
They want to make sure that they deny that hold.
I think it is the right play in that moment, actually.
Yeah, you do a 5 kill right here,
down from individual.
It's like 1, 11.
Shields or anything like that.
There's something like that for a real life.
The likelihood of you actually doing a lot of damage
when you've already given EDG full side control?
Aspire.
Aspire.
That's very important.
Aspire.
I've got a callus, though, to send Dizzy in there,
as well.
Tied it for Aspire.
I need for that.
And I think the next trip took over right after.
It could be mistaken, but that's what I remember.
I'm not even there.
Here we go.
Bonus round for EDG.
It's actually a five man B.
Yeah, many moves, right?
Contact, two guardians, little hand on the spectre.
Yeah, it's pretty weak by double up.
Leave, Hilo set up and they're going to try and catch this corner.
Play this spot a lot.
You stand.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out.
spot too. Yeah. Good. point here but he's able to escape in kind. Yeah, well escaped actually.
He was under a huge amount of utile pressure there. I like the idea from the heretics. They
doubled up on the ult orb thinking that she was going to play around for it. Yes, I think that guy
uncertainly know what's going to be picked up. Knife is low enough still. Come on,
please remove one of the heads of these players. EDG do not like what they've seen still.
They don't have control of the map. Anywhere else grouped up here for very much
an all-in over the wall to be. I think Minifu has got to be hitting those. If people are walking into
his crosshair, you have to be good for it. This is the final map of the grand finals of champs.
You cannot let free kills escape. Great timing on the swing, a little bit of labor with the
follow-up. Now they got two dives. Yeah. They're gonna fight to the full. Stars.
And he will make it up. And he will turn up. Back with the vengeance.
Nice little transfer. Yeah
Impossible task for smoggy here. Hope teams are playing like very uh, we're seeing quite a bit of each other
Along this
They make places opportunities there more damage. He does the better it is
I don't know. I felt like the beginning of this map right now
So I think maybe that's why this is the best matchup so far.
Look at the try-to-take.
Just A to B along that cliffside.
Yeah.
It's a little unusual.
That's not going to go well.
He's not a transfer.
Woo!
He needs to be playing well.
He was a fantastic on-bind.
Really stepped up for them.
One of the biggest reasons why Team Heron
has to revel here.
They have Astral ult.
Did not EDG the trophy, at least for one more map.
I imagine they're still going to keep doing the same
default, take aim, and control.
Kat Lurt
Team heretics though had a huge defensive anti-strike to try to deny Chichu the ult
Well now he has it, now he has the cost of the fight
What is Team heretics game plan around it?
We're seeing teams try to put smokes out
So that they can walk to the top
That's normally what teams try to run
Come at us, show your hand
Put in a strong default though
Not like antsy about it
potentially there's all through just in case of somebody getting cheeky
got damn here come what the fuck with the intense remove the question or at
least create them on the side of heretics to make them re-explore that's
making them move in this area yeah it lost info mid the mid is so important if
the attackers are able to take it it cuts off those defensive rotates we
got up they have an idea they have a strong idea that's trying to collapse
on the mid, on both sides.
The block, the noise here.
Ooh, nice play to the way.
Great.
Realizes his back is open.
The paranoia has to be let loose.
Only start.
Up and over top.
Spam potential.
Oh, he is.
He's got a lot of time.
He's just locked that one down.
Well done, honestly.
All business with it.
And the angle, but everything.
He's had as a result of it.
All of that would mean he can find that spacing
and already need for it to play.
Unexpected roots.
That's all he goes.
Don't get punished though.
Wow.
Yeah.
What would it give Simon to this me, Benji?
It would have spawned.
Black lines him, brings it to that 1-2.
To clutch, he's left away.
Nobody offers up the kill anyway, 7 bullets remaining.
Chichu knows to play his life.
This is going to be a tough situation for Benji.
He's got the top of his top to force out the first round.
Now you've talked about that shit so much.
I'm not just-
WAAAH!
What the f**k are you doing, Benji?
Oh my god!
What the f**k are you doing?
What a cringy-
Holy s**t, dude, my heart.
That's actually a ridiculous room for the mad.
He almost impossible.
What?
Two years ago, this guy was here as an influencer.
He was invited to come and attend Champs.
The guy who introduced his wife for the win to the game that he started to play.
He was never out of it.
He's been doing this since he was a kid.
Did he really want to get into a big team with stars in ballerina?
Holy shit.
He grinded DS2, he got himself on to a rookie squad.
He wanted to play himself same as anybody else.
Doesn't want to be great.
He probably has been.
Yeah.
His work, his follow, his heritage squad all throughout this year, polishing away
like a precious hook.
Yeah.
Honing it.
Astro on Astro.
Yeah, actually.
Yeah, we did.
Yeah, we did.
They have got themselves in shots.
The edges are good.
They're good.
They're not good.
They're not good.
They're gonna run into it.
Nope.
Closing the vital.
They got shot.
That's for care.
That's for now.
That's enough to the edge there.
But a plant should go down without any problems.
I know this is a post plan.
This is a question.
It's down to the floor.
They fall.
They fall.
They fall.
Still, and the flank is being watched.
I'm nearly at three.
Three guns.
You can see.
Interesting.
Jets fighting them.
Huge flame from Astro
The flank came in, the guy got the kill, and fucking happened.
Showing you the power of this composition that Edgy and I won out on this.
Really, the whole match.
He was so far away, properly baiting his team, but in a way to play for that post-placid clutch factor.
Well done.
Ah.
Last fired him in the hands, though.
And the EDG needed that one.
After what Benji had done to them previously.
It's also knocked the economy down with heretics.
Even though Benji won the prior round,
He was the only player that stayed alive.
EDG's economy looking good, non-combat available too.
Plenty of action out through mid.
Mini boot, might be unaccounted.
Playstone in his hands.
Flash in here.
I've definitely seen him in this spot though.
The question is just how you deal with it.
I'm not sure that you really can.
You can obviously stun this position.
If it was only Mini-Boo on his own,
you could easily deal with it.
But you're worried about other people
swinging off his contact.
I don't think it's a right play.
The play is wonderful.
I don't want an A all game either, I don't think.
Peace of mind, doors are back to the side.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Nothing to deny it here from Heretics,
but up onto the flank, Miniboo has to be the playmaker.
I think he's going to crush those smokes.
Fading, can-can-hard, committed.
Miniboo's got to get at least two.
I want to play off of him.
It is risky.
Yeah, he is.
Oh my god.
Oh, that's crazy.
They contain the flank, but the flood is now through heretics.
Out through the back now, smokes and stars, laced down,
trying to divide and coming in through the map.
A cheater again.
It's a three-piece into the round and Simon Gellad.
This is serious.
Actually, it turns out...
It's looking even better than the last time
we saw them on a best of my opinion.
EDG had already demonstrated that with this new composition...
The map attack, guys.
They've gone over and execute ideas. They've got good post-plant ideas too.
Yeah, pretty, pretty, since I started to get to here.
The macro concept of that little pressure towards mid that we've seen on other rounds,
the post-plant flank, the awareness.
And it's scary if a team like EDG is getting better on a map as the tournament goes on.
Oh, yeah.
I like a pause. It's not a corner, Rosé too.
They'll have to struggle with it here, but I think a lot of that little tactic will play against the Harvard, but let me just have it pulled out.
No, no, no, but Benjy wants the clutch.
I'm only using the Harvard to go and take mid control.
Well, it's 2-1.
That's kind of what you're looking to do in some of these situations.
Yeah, it's 2-1 for Harajiks.
Benjy, you want the clutch?
Like, do the Harajiks respond?
Oh, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
That's true.
Maybe G even sounds as well how to adapt to the Harajiks.
I like this kind of.
I like that, like, you said, get your guns.
And over the right-hand stack.
It has a hole in the back pocket, it's a team heritage with a timeout, it stopped the bleeding, and it's tracks.
What time is it?
The last map of the year.
The grand final.
It's the last map of your year.
I hope that you've managed to stretch the years in this life style.
These are our last two teams remaining.
That's amazing.
And you might have been able to see it coming a little, based on Team Heretics' upsurge at the start of the year.
I feel like it's 15 million, but not the sound.
You know, there's a hundred years, bro, one out of a hundred.
This one would be a surprise.
Five man air.
Good vibes for real fans.
One of the most time harder fans.
Nobody was expecting this.
EDG, not missing a beat.
We got so balls here.
It's just not here.
It's so tough.
It's just not a space for me.
I just like to bang some people.
In any round.
Cause you can't take away, Aimee.
Oh, no pushback.
Time is done.
Great bullets.
Reigns really needs to be careful.
Playing in Benji washes out and threw Benji in for the back
Nice
Off in the back a little bit
They have no idea he's here
They have no idea he's here
Nice
Oh no, so far
What has done that
Nice
Nice
Yeah, good scams
Trick you, they have a hacksaw
Still in
Wow
What's more to pull in sight?
I even have to, is it not?
No half obtained.
Wow, wow, wow.
They took Sane and got out.
No issues at all.
Oh, it's perfect.
Perfect.
Who is left to scramble?
Well done.
That KO dagger smucked them.
He took down the pit.
He did so much harder for Heretic.
Heretic's not come up with the answer here.
They can't figure out what to do against EDG.
It's so difficult to anchor onto the site.
Yeah, yeah.
Everybody's coming in immediately after Kan-Kan. Kan-Kan's been supported by Recon Darts, Flashes, Stuns from the Astralisks as well.
And if you can't anchor, well, can you try to retake against this?
It's very difficult. The post-plant power is super good from EDG's condition.
Getting fucking excited.
Plus defending, good luck.
Marcus trying to hold us.
They have a lot of ults for heretics.
The economy is booming, PDG.
It's a three-round lead.
Looking to keep it going, looking to maintain it all the way through.
They're doing a good job of this.
I think this is a nice adjustment for them.
They're working on that.
This smoke is changing as well.
Because it was a five-man play last round,
now they're back to the leading home map.
They seem to take that space themselves.
But if they're worried about somebody pushing forward
to play inside the smoke, it will stall them out a little.
I don't think that's going to be the key difference to heretics winning the map.
It's just a small piece of the puzzle.
They have the details on.
They're coming with answers outside of my words.
I might need to learn.
I think they need a fundamental change.
Otherwise, EDG is too uncomfortable.
Just going to give them the main control all the time.
That's what you've already told them about.
I've made this world up.
Yeah, letting them just explore every single option.
Yeah.
Yeah, they smoke off mid.
So slow.
Whether or not they're going there.
the center of the map. Yeah,
actually careful. You see that
heretics, they all just sat back pretty
pricey. It's like the majority of
that. We guys here. I need to see them.
Get the plants on the doctoral push
back dashes active in through as a
slightest attack.
Defendant pushing back the
We got that first kill.
It is then, three hits.
We got one.
Oh, it just popped off.
It's a play.
One!
He got it.
It's a four seconds.
Come on, come on!
Come on!
Yeah!
Oh, my god!
What?
Come on!
Who's at it?
Oh, my god!
There's no way in there!
Oh, my god!
Oh, my god!
Oh, my god!
Oh, my god!
We're back on path one.
We're back on the utility end.
Two hits.
Perfectly, but even seeing that as a win condition.
A thrift team.
The Sova ult, and I'm only the winner now.
Dude, they took too long.
They just took too long.
I didn't think there was much they could do there to stop that from going down.
But with such little time, we have out of that denial.
Oh!
That was so much love, dude.
3 of a second.
So that's dude.
What a MasterCard 50.
Unbelievable.
There is his right back at it.
Wow.
Enough for the hands of Midi, dude.
What the adjustment that we were perhaps looking for, but they have changed the
defensive setup.
Yeah, double walk up is a sign.
The weak point of this trip is desperately important.
Do they see it? Yes.
And before they run into it, too.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Mid-compromised, Ping's already out.
Maybe he set their sights over the whole day.
You have to pull people back from the site to monitor these connectors now.
They're gonna be right through mid.
And you probably have to go for a re-clear, but that's difficult.
And you need to get at least one.
Get one, get out.
You gotta get out ideally.
Spore all the back end.
He knows, he knows, he knows.
Here's the dash, and I like this.
I don't like this at all.
That's a Moskvite, and he just kicks right into that face.
Wow, that's a nice-
That's still Spike, drop down to the feet.
Decide open base.
That was a walk, at least B main.
3-3, still down.
Now they got it.
There goes a Sweetos.
Wrapping by Heretics, looking the shortest one up.
Potential for the flood, and an off-retake anti-imension.
Wow, what a quality.
What a quality.
Is that Mosko?
He dropped.
I think he was still a pretty quick part.
I'm sorry. Oh my god.
Don't learn to get up that operator just yet.
Oh. Oh.
It almost takes the timing. Straight past the dizzy.
He scores and all sorts of problems.
Mischief right now.
He's just needs the high time for Simon.
Striking.
Oh my god.
That was so close, dude.
That's a huge...
You're still here to play.
You're still here to win that trophy.
They're not creeping closer.
Yeah, yeah.
And this one, that mid pressure once more, the macro, it's looking lovely.
Nobody's calling his excellent hero the attack size.
He's going, he's going, he's going.
He's going, he's going.
I mean, he's going, he's going.
He's still getting themselves into a spot where they're able to convert.
Oh.
Perhaps if in that round, if Buu had been able to win his fight as an assay anchor,
maybe he could have been doable, but he's one and eight now.
Now they're back to their high ground.
They're going to have to get a grasp on the game and a grasp on his gun.
They're going to have to reasonably do the right plays, they're doing the right sides.
Tiger up two.
The fact that they're playing as much.
Tripp's going to be broken blue under all our pressure.
The heat is turned up.
Who can only do so much? It's one kill.
All the fire is returned.
And this time the adjustment from Heretic was that double push.
I said I wanted to see them get aggressive on defense.
The problem is the map is so big.
They got to get that one.
Yeah, it was so long.
Mind the time they get into this fight.
As you said, what he takes off.
We're missing the mark on some of this one here.
Smugg is got a lot to watch for here, but...
Oh, man, he's got a good...
What's it out, still? He's expecting it!
It's like games, isn't it?
They're fucking having fun right now.
At this point, he needs G.
An obvious stop by anything at all.
They need four, at least.
At least four, right? I agree.
the game plan adjustment. They've got to figure out a solution here if they want any hope.
If bind is to mean anything, they need to figure an answer because EDG's composition, which
is pretty unique. We do not see other teams running this kind of comp. It's just been
unstoppable on their attack side. Is this their second? Second one, yeah. What's the
issues a heritage is the second time out burns final map here about grand finals
pretty early the game is starting to run away the bitter disappointment
you can revel in the glory of a trophy lift that you only dreamed of up to now
They're dreaming about it since that loss in Shackle.
They're always a half step behind.
Yeah, I mean, they're hoping to take it on the second go-around.
They're making the right call.
They're making the right call.
They're doing that pretty well.
I promise you that trophy,
it's equidistant from both teams on the stage,
but every time we look to each and toward TDG,
willing it in their direction,
the fans, the players, the plays they're making.
I think this round is everything here, there's a difference between a 9-3 or possibly a 7 flight recovery for heretics.
It's true.
The Alts favorites, exactly as though you have the Alts to work with but...
They love this angle.
Trons and tribulations.
They're not wood up.
I was watching EDG and the last time they played a bit, Smokey actually ulted onto B-Rathness as part of their exec.
So, don't put it beyond EDG to do something absolutely nuts here, with the ball on the line.
Classic draft, do a look, make a lot of noise, B.
With a press back in.
EDG, if they're worried about the re-clear.
Woopa has the thrash.
Leak, Simon, spike in hand.
They've seen this trick before, I've been missed.
What an interesting position.
Absolutely not.
Sometimes they're not sending shots in front of you.
It's a good game.
You're not going to be clearing it.
It's easy enough on the top.
Don't have to hold your body to it.
Setting up for the eighth split. You can't see very much of nobody in mid. Nobody to try to punish.
Cover the camp?
They're trying to pull these players to sign the draft placement. No, the call is cancelled anyway.
Should know they're in best form, regardless.
Direction of A, bodies are still lining up. Reinforcements arriving here in the footsteps of Raph.
Oh! A scanners light indeed. Skirmish retake and EDG!
Holy good thing there.
A striking run for Redhurst. Nobody's detained.
Yeah, I'm gonna say again, the scaling is required.
the side.
Wow.
Bowers dropped in place.
There you go.
It's just not possible.
There, there.
They're running through them.
Wounder won the boy.
No way.
He'll make a good goal, but that is just...
Oh my god.
It's impossible to get past at this point.
A3? Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, it is attack-sided, but still, just have to put together a reason to have a goal.
Taking all of that mid-control, setting themselves up. No resistance from Heretics.
When two players went to go and re-explore, I don't think they were expecting to see
full and legit air. They thought that was setting up our ace play.
If you thought they caught the time in them, we're trying to rotate.
Yeah, they were so ready.
They don't have enough information around the map. They're not playing aggressively enough on the defense side,
and they're allowing EDG to run over them.
It's still a bot.
Scraps with the buy. Final round of the first half of our final map of champs 2024.
Nice low steal, guardians.
This drone is going to spot an open site. No defenders, no anchors.
Nobody to even point the drone.
I can know exactly where they are.
She's going left with a door.
Spiders changed up the hand.
Now soba's going to have his ult is going to point the possible.
He's going to switch to another tap as well, seeing what the reaction is.
push back posture, Boo can't stand against it. Cosmic Divide though is ready,
blinds away. The protocols are so good for EDG to get the plant down, they're not
getting caught by this. Nice. Up onto the cross, that was up through mid. Can't tell
it's gonna be that delayed pressure, presence, potential.
It's gonna be removed now, and he's right back in. Gichu,
swamble angle, finally removed. Front of the site is theirs, and here is the
because we divide
What is that?
The fury off and around
Where's the next layer to all of this here?
How do we get the roof?
Many have been sticking already
Hold the line for spires in order
Inapture, heretics
They got the water
Oh my god
That's rose huge
Potentially there's a
A chance before
I mean look
for sure
There's been so many rounds
Come on Benji
Amp the team up. Yeah
Hard right to be like bringing the energy while you're fucking down
That's why he's the heart of the team, you know?
He's been doing it the whole time we've been in Arena.
Just keeping the energy wild through the pain.
Every time out, no matter what, they're down, they're up.
Big ass smile on his face.
We gotta get some PMA tips from Benji.
Like, what's trickier, man?
I swear, like, anytime I see Benji.
He's the happiest kid I'll know, dude.
He really is. He's been since the moment I met him.
I love it.
He's earned all his flowers, dude.
The transition from Fortnite to Valorant was not easy for him.
He got like top 8 at a World Cup was it?
Something like that, right?
I know he has like one of the highest earnings in Fortnite.
He was like amongst the top.
And it's just these games are not similar.
Not at all.
That's the point I was gonna make as well.
I mean look, like chat, we're not gonna make him do this, but you know, maybe at one point,
you gotta get you on Fortnite, you know?
I think Benji's done something that not
most important pistol rounds of these
plays so close now let's see I mean look
it's still trophy to work to anyone's
game I asked maybe to aggressive
framing a lot of running on this
pistol for both teams really back
so cross-air change in tough spots
before asking a change using positions
in Grand finals before that's like the
the best they need to find a way to dig deep across their chains. Yeah, at least for me,
like I feel like I want to make a big change, like a small change, like a good help, yeah.
Bit of a game. Yeah. Like you don't want to change your size, you don't want to change
your res. I don't know if you agree. I don't know if you agree.
We need players with a touching distance on every one.
I can say in second.
Chipsetting, match, second half bar.
Check house.
They might be breaking history in every single way.
EDG on this tournament run.
Pushing past the road limits.
We're not content with just sitting at that third place, second place.
This is a team.
No to that trophy isn't striking at distance. The first trophy lift for China.
Oh, the Biasites, Kang Kang. Taking that contact, taking point.
Back himself, and Alex again.
Was it on Naga?
The Setsault here.
Risky Venture from Kang Kang as well.
Take it up here.
I got the swipe.
looking for information in A and B main, throwing that recon dart out. Nobody, not looking to save it in case there's some kind of exec on the site.
Heretics also looking to explore mid, both teams, realizing that this part of the map is super important.
Sam is going to be asked a lot of.
This is far though, and he's going to be backing away.
I like this stuff team heretics they're pushing back those players
Out of your mind, he's staving the second throne tag and still gets three.
And still, there's no universe, man.
How does shit, ridiculous.
Oh my god.
Pushing out onto Assistant Coach, and he's just made one hell of a play.
Oh my god.
Yeah
Carving out a place amongst the
You got out. Give me the bulldog.
Hopefully, allow him that retreat.
So, 3v4, plant is down, heretics have that extra money to work with,
but he'd love to round even more. Flash, dodge.
What's going to do with this?
Broken clear, cancels through, has that marshal in play.
Benji has to make one and saw.
A shot on.
A coordination over there.
This guy jumps up, he's got to come through the side this time.
Are we all reaching the apex?
Perfect.
We're just playing it perfectly.
EG get up to double digits.
I don't know
I don't know, it's not great
There were three rounds away from being able to win this tournament
But at that point, they were not in the driver's seat
It would have taken three clean leads to get to overtime and then to win
Here, Heritage are six away from even tying the game up
Oh my god
The energy and the inspiring arena is reaching a crescendo
The crowd can feel it. It's up to Herodix to put a stop to it.
The best moment to buy Herodix, have the rifles to play around with.
I kind of see like, what their approach is going to be about.
Looking for information over towards B.
And this map.
It's back in those geckos.
Those lurks are often super important, but he's a player that hasn't particularly been able to get online in this final map.
The two teams on the defense side brutalized you
Get this as he has killed
Who calls me it's over looking to apply some pressure keep these players
Okay, we already thought it was a fake actually he started rotating away when he it was only the drone
as well when he was tied by the drone.
He didn't want to get spammed from that spot, but we're lying.
It could have been a baby that switched the fake out.
Simon's getting to that point.
Look at the way that Simon's part of it too.
Oh my god.
It's so similar to what Hogan himself does to fake.
30 seconds.
You tell us, Simon, ready?
Into the hands of these players, and I have a side here.
It's a pull to meet that one with the dizzy.
And the part where he's going to drop one full over the tie.
It's perfect once more.
Nobody and Simon combined their might.
Drop these heretics way is dead time against them once more
He knows he's the protagonist.
He knows that this is his story.
He put it right.
That's great, dude.
That's great.
I'm gonna run out.
We have two rows away.
Oh, man.
New region.
Two years later.
Oh, my God.
In case you missed the memo.
Yeah.
And today I'm gonna lift down.
Oh, I was just like, you were free.
By the way.
They're just, they're just.
Good block.
That's so well played.
Looking to try to play the post.
I love this.
A little aggression, a little pace.
That's what they require.
Let's go back now.
He's going back now.
He needs to stay alive in this time, but already, he's
going to stay alive.
And around in his face.
Oh, wow.
He's around.
He's reaching.
Drops is a chance.
Rattling down by 10-6.
The Oaks are good for here.
But through heaven's law, he's going for it even more.
Go!
Go!
Sharpenhunt.
Get up.
He's done enough.
Surely for them.
For what?
Oh, right.
He's up.
But the damage done.
You've got to change it up a little bit.
You gotta mix things up, it's not worth it for you, you gotta...
...EG realizing how they're saving.
Alright, let's get this one up.
Come on, they've ran through their own wall by the way.
They've all of this side of ran through, got the kill,
and kept pushing after the fact, went into spot.
Every round is gonna feel like a mountain,
the clothing, the heritage.
They needed to change the aura,
the energy to his own hands.
This one, hugely important,
but they're not gonna have an ultimate like that
to work with every day of the week.
It's another Masterclass with you, we've seen so many of them.
Okay, so so many of them in this Grand Finals another chance for them, but you can't rely on them
You cannot have that be the only kind of situation
This is a wild set up going for the flash
For can't come to peak immediately by the look of things
No, they do not have contact instead waiting. Yeah wait to see if there's a dizzy a recon
Probably to accompany this yes, it is
I like the play though. Paranoia, NKO flash, Garency in the corner.
Defensive play of EDG.
Yeah, he can't count there as well.
Rattling it out on the Rift National commands.
My parents, it's winning at 50.
Pendulum does swing in terms of that momentum.
The economy as well.
Yeah, there's been a lot of thrift plays today.
I'm not gonna lie, yeah.
MasterCard is getting there.
The issue is the buff on terms of the way.
It's not exactly there.
It's the hylo from EDG.
And a big test here for Chichu and nobody.
I've given up the positions that they were once holding to be contact now smoke activated
nobody's inside.
He's in a good little spot right here.
I get ahead of the curve and ahead of most of these places while I'm in fire it's out.
It's good for it.
Star up and over.
Get you trying to stun, trying to stay alive.
Nice.
Good little throw.
Great little throw.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
You can do that.
They got nothing to do
Even on the pistol round most recently
They think they're just gonna fall do benches for time one for one and that trading for heretics that they rely on
They actually need those weapons kills. I'm not really important
Look at Smoggy's credits.
He's really close to that kill record.
But nothing to work with.
He is apparently just needed to save a guy.
Oh, that's the other thing.
He's close.
He passed it all down.
He passed the one drink that I'm waiting into the site.
I think the last round.
The last round they won.
The benefit of the heritage here is they're calm.
Generating results.
Perpetual motion.
Definitely keep it low.
You can to some degree, yeah.
They've got Hunter's Fury online for the next one.
I think it's about a...
But he also has a small match
And the other big thing to keep in the back of your head here
Is that Shishu actually has a conflict of mind for retake
This could be the thing I die for you
That's crazy
To me it's like so chill
The heart rate is like nothing
He's back up, he's sitting, just gaming
The state of mind of his area of play is
Lots of difference for him
I really love that for them
They might have been looking to strike that that's up towards heaven. This is all a fake. You see the spike going in the opposite direction
It's a really really convincing fake though. They're gonna
Sorry, are they gonna get them to bite?
I don't really
One of the problems with this round
Hello, the spikes coming back over to this side of the ground
What is going on here?
Who's changing his mind perhaps?
One of the weird things is that heretics like to play offside post-pants, they love them.
You can't really do that this round.
You're just going to end up locked away.
That cosmic divide up in your face is going to be very difficult to play around.
So on-site aggressive post-pants can be called to your heretics.
And it worries me that Buu is so far away to reveal what a mistake.
Stacker plays, now coming down.
Oh, that's far too hard.
He's hanging away from that angle, still heaven untouched and cheater on the back as well.
Goofy!
And still, he's done enough, done enough.
Hunter's fury, if nobody is let loose, it's ripped out.
It's like Hillis collected for fear of being caught by Reans.
It's run over, they're gonna have here.
And he did G.
He can pass on this, they can claim that 12.
They can back off site.
Cheese, you fell in the midst of all of this.
No cosmic divide available.
It's still potentially overzealous.
Passed their own trips into the backside, control the power.
Neuer swoops his way through and cuts out those angles.
He starts, up and over!
Sweep the benchy!
Bulu provides!
Finish and cover!
The firing line is there.
Simon can only do so much.
The position like this.
Let's take, take, take, take.
It is DeNovea once more.
Seven rounds for Heretics.
They're gonna make this happen.
They're gonna try and deny history being made.
It has to be on that basis.
One, he's down to the top.
That's still so damn close.
Yeah.
Jumpscare there for nobody I think.
Expected everybody on heretics, I'm sure to be playing offside post-plots.
Benji and Booz spring out of smoke.
Booz looking up to his name.
EDG are taking attack time now, I'm here to talk about things.
I was trying to drop you the bomb for so long and I kept dropping my gun.
I guess that'll happen.
And the nerves are coming out.
First boss screaming
11-7
He's probably on a save here
We get the pleasure of doing something
I did want to touch on getting into that territory
Because talking about it has been
What do we say? Anything is possible?
Anything is possible
I mean even though he was really so young
Dominic in terms of the score
Throughout his meet and greet in China to his explosive
And then these scarring defeats earlier this year
I feel like he's been
You see it in the
In this match performing in every single matter. It's poetic. I think this match up here heretics
One bandel
carrying the namesake of his brother at this entire time.
Yeah, Fenty. Fenty.
All for that trophy lift that both of these teams
are going to be hoping for, a playmate, that's for this guy.
Slider weaponry to win.
She has to hold for the line of a wound and swarm.
So many bodies, a playstorm is unleashed.
Kankank trying to make the most of this.
Right there behind them, they've lost control of the flank.
They are aware of this.
They have to give a watch for the line for this one,
but options available if they want to flip them up.
This is a 34 HP.
This is a tough retake.
Will do a minute.
Kang, Kang.
Ames is gonna get the call.
That group with the sideline head is fine.
Rean, dude.
Once more, boom.
All right, huh?
Swings.
Perfect timing, but Lee's isn't the player
who wasn't expecting that.
Smoky.
Rean's over.
Fully aware.
Reans.
Made a step.
Potentially a counter for maybe his footsteps.
Maybe now, I'm not too sure still.
Gets the job done.
Time is ticking.
Wound to do it all.
Rushing hands.
You can see to deny, you can see to deny, up and over to T.B.
Do you think he's gonna die?
Does he have it?
Does he have it?
I don't think he's got it.
It's Miller Sessions.
Oh, wow.
I thought he had it.
I thought he had it for sure.
Oh, my God.
Oh, it's well.
Why are you showing his monitor?
Oh, my God.
I didn't know the motion ball was over, too.
20 seconds away from taking EDT to tournament point.
Oh, my God.
Points well.
A sloppy postman gets the job done and the number of hits are down.
Okay.
Speechless.
Looks no stranger to coming down to the wire.
You think he was confident about the internal power?
Whoa, it basically went off.
Just by that.
It basically went off.
By the way, he's truly reminiscent of that final round of playing.
That's Matthew's brother.
Oh, God.
Yeah, he's got the...
He had a lot of fun with that.
Yeah, pops the record.
The clutch, maybe one, two, even believe it.
What are we watching?
I can't believe it.
What are we watching?
Dude, control is shifting.
It's insane.
Yeah.
For EDG opening, see another time out.
Back to back.
Listen.
What is that?
They're feeling it, slipping a little bit.
Even though that was a half-buy that day.
That was picked up by the sound spit.
Probably the car is here.
Oh my god, we were talking earlier about some of these pauses in the action had come at spots where it was an invalid situation anyway.
I remember what it was, I think it was Sunset, one team vastly in control, ZDG at the time.
Yeah, we turned up, we turned up like that.
Down here, that potential with a knife.
The people in the arena don't know whether to start cheers or to chew the ends of their fingers off.
Yeah, like I said, I thought I actually did have to come back, but
he was fully in control and now they're having to it's right there.
He didn't let it all go away.
A little catwalk. We're back in 11, 11, eight.
It's taking time to drop by here.
What do you think?
I see anything else.
And the car is very much on this very real.
I don't like moments like this to find you.
Look at your chances.
Slippery down times.
It's a rapid play from Heretic.
Quick.
Oh my god.
Uh-oh.
The high ground perch.
Potentially the danger zone.
Dizzy up and over the top.
Nice!
Heretic are dropping them all in their place.
It's rolling.
Don't line up.
Come on.
Responds, but it's only the one
Ashwall is available in the back pocket
You choose to commit it's available ready to be
Good they set up first
What a call too by the way
Quick
Open the door, don't mind me.
Brothers in Blood, Heretics.
They've just come out with another reminder,
and they've taken the final two, denying it.
You should have gone away from EDG.
Jiju has no money to play with.
They could try to scrap together a five,
but it would be an unceremoniously lucky thing.
Five in a row.
Five in a row.
That's the spirit.
Tell you the story of heartbreak for heretics.
The squad that has got so close in the past, with rookies on this team, holding them polish
over the course of the year.
Very close.
And it was looking like they were going to be denied that chance at a trophy.
But fate...
To save with thrills.
Wrangles twisted out of the hands of these EDG players.
They're going to push this.
The pressure.
They're going to push this.
Oh yeah.
They're going to push this.
They're going to push this.
Oh yeah.
They're going to push this.
They're going to push this.
Oh my God, he's not going to react.
What did we just watch the Guardian in hand?
There's no way.
Snaps it up.
Oh, fuck.
Unload us.
They ended it on a thrifty.
Here, Kangkang, one score,
breaks another record with that pop-off.
It's about, dude.
Oh, shit.
In competitive valor and in DCT,
Bill Bloss regional's anything.
Wow, wow.
What did we just with the main character like that the aura to back it up
It's not over just now. It's not over
Just breaks with that four piece after all dude. They put him on the top
I hope you didn't throw away the pages of the book on YouTube. It's still there
Come so close to the finish line once more
Closer than ever before to the finish line, touching distance of the trophy.
BDG, steal it right back, Kang Kang in hand.
The signature, but this man right here, in highlighting him, in gassing him,
is going to be under that pressure, but still delivers.
One shot found.
How are playing four, you take as well.
And a chisel, slowly etching away the potential for BDG to make history for China.
a trophy lift in sight reins with the plan cosmic divide providing a safety
but it fades away and a reset called for player disadvantage still here
he's like oh my god open and shut siren with the old pile
i assume this is it the depth of the knife which is going blaze in the gene
the depth of boom to push the back and away tp7 over no kills will be found it's one man
What a fucking game, what a game.
What a fucking game, Tankin breaks the record, to close it off.
Oh my god, oh my god.
closed it off today my finaly see that time for the teams that come in for the other back
he said he won a try if you want a championship you need to just win today those last two rounds
he sealed the sign and delivered the game for them at the end there on a bus that's so hard
that's so hard that's so tough that's so tough
it was going to be a hard-breaking launch for Keeb to clean
there it was so bad they gave it their all both sides
I can't breathe it. I can't breathe it.
Sweet. This comes with a long head, dude.
That champ's trophy will make all the pain worthwhile for EDG.
Thank you, dude.
Oh, shit.
Taylor Heartbreak is open on the faces of the Heretic's players.
What a series.
Look away from the game out of all.
What a series.
Knowing, realizing that they came so close at that glory.
Head high, guys.
Touching distance.
Today.
So close, yeah.
Yeah
And it can never
is the squad that knows what it is to chase.
Yeah, you gotta pay the respects.
These guys, they put their hearts out as well.
But what a year they've had.
This team is mostly rookies to make two good points.
They really did.
They really did.
They played so fucking good too.
They have found themselves in this year.
And that's hard for a kid.
Yeah.
It's a good day to swam.
Good day to the players.
Oh my god.
Nobody thinking about this moment for quite some time.
Respect shown between these two teams.
Edgy, doh.
In the end, those tanks are on show.
They really did a fucking great time.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, it's so emotional.
Dude, just sit there for five hours.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on, Chad.
Give it up for EDG.
Let's go, EDG.
That's beautiful.
That is fucking beautiful.
Well earned and deserved.
Oh my god.
Look at that fucking view, man.
So crazy.
Fuck.
The trophy looks amazing too, by the way.
Insane.
Look at that.
Unbelievable.
Can't get no decent. If there's any doubt, now you know it's one of them.
He has a cemented his legacy.
Well, can't be out of the rest of the team.
Probably MVP.
Got to be MVP.
Don't get me wrong.
He had an event for the Bucks.
That's the same story.
I'm not telling you right now.
EDG have arrived and they are here to stay.
Ganker was talking about holding back tears
at previous events, but there's no shining
on his face today.
Turn number one for real.
As you'd expect, but this squad,
they look like the most part.
They are relishing the moment.
Oh, yeah.
It's got to be titanic.
Surrounded by fans.
Travelling for the win.
Edward on the phone.
Edward is officially gaming.
It's locked the fucking end.
We have a league world champion, so it was, whoa, I think so, I think so, I think so.
Yeah, I was just trying to get more content.
They've certainly never looked at a trophy, never looked at a trophy, not on the global
stage, and it's like you said they never made top four before, and they weren't content
with stopping it out of point.
They've brought past their limits all throughout this tournament, but the trophy was the
sole goal, and they knew that they were capable of lifting it, an unbelievable
game that we had.
and we really did uh with so many players from EDG stepping up you know
Simon too deserves talking about this guy coming up to his first ever
international event he's a champion trophy he's a rookie that's a whole story
that's a whole thing on the most place right what's up mid season swap
But here to reality, for any chance to reality,
we'll go along with that history and everyone
when they will be able to contest how to cancel
the rest of the matches.
That's in powers.
That was huge, and then the China are here.
Not this time, but the get to launch.
For some esports, those are before and the actual,
when certain regions, Korea, China, whichever it might be,
get involved.
It's very possible that we have been living in the before.
Oh, yeah.
We may end up looking back on this years from now as a turning point.
And that's where the viewership, the player base, the same as it is in China.
EDG could just be the first, but what a first they did to not only open the door,
but just what Kangkang said all along, their job was to open the door for the whole region.
They booted it open.
This is crazy, man.
Crashed it so many times in the other side.
Why did he open as he already said?
And he plays
Difficulties that this squad has had at the Shanghai any hurdle the face given up teams were drifting to despair
Not a G. He rebuilt. They were reborn when the ashes are crashing out
111 kills
Here the winners themselves
EG your 20 24 champions
Damn. Oh, man.
Tonight will be Valorant Studio Head Anna Dalman and Global Head of Valorant Esports, Leo Frierea, to help us congratulate our champions, EZGN!
That's cool. I'm going to get something.
I love that.
Our queen, Anna.
That's sick.
Want one of those?
That's fucking though, I do want one of those.
Ryan starts tomorrow, baby.
Yeah, I'm sorry, yesterday.
Last night.
Congratulations, PDG.
Guys, let's hear from the champions.
Simon, I'm going to go to you first.
You joined the team just a month ago,
and now here you are as the world champion.
Not everybody gets to do that.
Not everybody can do that.
So how does it feel to be the champion of the world?
Simon, you've been a champion for the last three months, and you've become one of the world champions.
You can't be a champion like this.
How do you feel right now?
Simon, you've just joined UDG a month ago.
You've won the world championship.
Not everyone has the chance to do this.
Not everyone can do this.
How do you feel right now?
I'm really excited and excited. I'm here because all of the effort from my teammates.
I'm so so so happy and actually the ball that I could become a champion is
I'm telling the players next to me that I'll make it back to them.
I'll meet Smoggy.
I don't think tears will stop.
I'm asking what the meaning behind tears is.
Smoggy, we can see that you're very excited.
What's behind the tears?
What's behind the tears?
What the haters always said, imagine?
So much emotion.
Oh my god, you're pulling our strings.
Oh my god.
You gotta feel it tonight.
From the first time to now, I think it's too hard to walk this road.
But I think all the people who are here, all the dreamers are very hardworking.
It's Tambor from now to here.
It's freaking hard for everyone.
And it's because all of the effort from all of my teammates,
and I thank every one of them.
It was really hard to come here from Istanbul.
I heard it was really hard to come here.
But the team members were so good.
I'm so grateful.
I'm sure they're not.
They're alive and down, so they'll be.
They were in lockstep that last night.
Losers are crying to wear the cry if doesn't lock up.
That's true.
Cry.
No tears from you.
No, you're crying.
Oh, man.
That's a real pro back.
I'm gonna cry soon, I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna be gonna cry.
I don't even know what he's saying.
All of the fans behind us, and finally of course all of the teams from WTTN, all of the supporters behind our back.
Why can't we get this championship?
Okay one more sentence.
The world is fighting against CLFPS!
CTCNFPS!
There were a lot of things.
There were a lot of things.
There were teammates.
And most importantly,
all the Chinese teams
who supported the League
became one team.
So I was interested
in their support.
So I said,
I'd like to add one more thing.
The whole world
will focus on
China's FPS.
I'm going to meet NoBody.
It's not just Nobody.
I'm going to start.
What do you think of this moment?
Nobody? You're not a nobody.
You're a world champion.
What's on your mind right now?
NoBody is your IT player.
You're not a world champion.
You're not a world champion.
How do you feel?
I've never thought about this.
I only hope that I can sleep
and wake up tomorrow.
I'm going to sleep tonight. I'm going to sleep tomorrow.
This is not a dream.
I think this day will come that early for us.
I just hope today I go to sleep and tomorrow I get up.
I hope this day not a dream.
Wait, is he going to pull it on his face?
He's good.
He's good.
Oh, man.
If you wake up tomorrow, you won't believe that this is not a dream.
Let's meet Choo Choo.
A lot of things happened today.
Especially the title of the winner.
I think the family will be proud of it.
What do you want to tell the world right now?
So while you're at the top of the world, what would you like to say to the world?
There are a lot of teams that are championship from Asia, so I think don't look down this.
I mean, I still need one championship from Masters, I think.
From Masters, okay.
Not bad, yeah.
Job's not done.
Oh, like this, ASEAN team is just one of the world's campers.
It's not a no.
It's not a no.
It's not a no.
ASEAN team is now ASEAN team.
The grand start of yesterday.
Let's meet the first trophy of the Chinese national team.
When you first started working with the players,
what did you expect to win?
And what did you do?
with a Muggle first trophy for CN region as a whole.
At the beginning of this year, did you expect this to happen
and how did you do it?
This is the first champion of WCT C&N.
Did you expect us to achieve this success?
How did you do it?
Last year, I saw a lot of strength in the finals.
At the scene, I saw the stage of the final.
I was thinking when I could stand on it.
And then this change of this moment has countless days and nights,
given me this kind of power,
to let me take the world championship with this team.
Last year, L.A. champions, I was a bear, like as an audience.
And that moment, the grand final, and that moment gave me power.
And the day and night, we were working hard every day,
and kind of using this kind of power.
with every teammate with me and we finally get here.
Hard work ends up.
I watched the last L.A. Championship and saw it from the audience, and I felt a lot of motivation and power.
I felt the same emotions as I felt at that time, and I worked hard for the players and the directors.
And from that time, I said that I won the game by gaining strength from EDG.
So we met the EDG players and the directors.
Let's give it a round of applause again.
I mean, every half-time.
There you go.
That's 11.
This is insane.
That's 11. That's crazy.
What's the most awesome?
That's just the radio night.
That he's playing again. Yeah.
Instead of a 4, but it's nice the players have to say 4.
The trophy's going to the Horde.
in Istanbul. Everyone was wondering why he had his name.
He said he was to live out the dream.
He was standing on the side.
He's his idea in there with his guns.
I voted Kankang, John.
I don't know if I can say that.
I don't know if I can say that.
He can indeed.
He might even get another one.
Who knows? Because we do have the first
ever MVP award coming up
here at Champs.
There's been a few voters
Variety even members in our community including on their talents co-streamers members of the press and more as well
What if they went you might ask they will be winning a custom design and hand-crafted
bracelet
Like I said, this is a custom
Branded highlighted in a 22k gold inlaid mix with some diamond
I know of a player that just won a trophy, rock that bracelet because I've seen it, I've got a sneak peek of it, and I think there's someone, you know, that can do it justice.
Does his name start with Cone maybe? And Edward Cone as well?
Yeah, that's crazy.
I mean, like I said, a variety of the community voted. I'm very, very, very excited to see who will be the recipient of this award.
So without further ado, let's send them back down to the stage for the sanitation of the champions.
So MVP.
This is the last year, last finale official event of the year.
Crazy to think about it, honestly.
Leo and Anna to give the most valuable player a word to...
...Balorant Champions, MVP!
I'll get your flowers, kid.
Yeah, what a journey.
That's sick.
Congratulations, Kaka.
That is the MQ word
Sounds real, yeah
You like it?
Yeah, of course, I think this is pretty cool
It's got a glow
Wow
My god
That's my, that's my pressure, I think, yeah
Appreciate it
I love this guy, though, so cool
That thing is fucking
I'm so excited
How do you feel now?
Kang Kang, not only are you the champions of 2024
Valorant champions
You're also the first ever Valorant MVP
I see the tears coming through now
So, how do you feel right now?
What's the national anthem?
Social anxiety is his enemy
It's awesome
My brothers said that I was crying just now.
Why didn't I cry?
I said that I'm not the only one.
Yes, like what my brother said.
What my brother said is,
Zhe Mingjia, I don't think you can do this.
I have a lot more.
I just said to my brothers,
Loki was crying, he asked me,
why you're not crying?
And I replied,
because I know we are more than this.
This is not only one for us.
Like I said to my real brother, my older brother,
I told you we're not only this, this is more than,
we are more than this.
It's just the beginning.
Yeah.
I'm going to take a lot of trophies, so this is just the beginning.
That's how I met FangTang.
Some fucking love for our man Terry right here
Rainer shine from the beginning of this month from the beginning of the tournament
No matter where you are in the world
The day every game is the best player in the world
He's unhatable he's perfect
Insane highlight
It's all for you guys. It's all for you. You don't see it. I see it. This guy loves you.
I do appreciate everyone watching.
It's uh...
It's been awesome, it's been awesome.
I don't know how to say it.
I don't know how to say it.
I'll tell you, it's good.
Go on again.
Thank you.
This is the venue you want to go up against.
Thank you.
Harts with Jeffrey O'Neill as well.
What he does on the server, but he is also that guy.
He is there.
He's a local.
Oh, chat.
Yeah.
One of the bad, we really have to take through it all.
First time I see it all um play on the global stage. It was all about
The first you like with this EDG team it's a
Gotta get this he's got to get a solo
Either way
It's keeping them in that in that long drawn-out final again
That's kind of been the pivot that we have seen for me
They see that change that allowed them to unlock this potential to go this far to be able to become champions
It was just not just about enabling con con to be that superstar player
It was about him really working alongside the rest of the team to bring them all up
I think that fbx had a few fair shops, right?
They should have made it out of groups in Shanghai. I'm going to see 3,000 times, Dreyce making it all flowlessly out of the group here, a lot of questions, but in the end EDG got to become the first Chinese team to lift the trophy and they had to be the champion.
And they did it in the first year of the VCTCN league, which is insane. They were competing before that, sure, but this is the first year where the competition level at home has been high enough to push them and you've seen how much they've grown because of it.
because of it. And where it's been regular as well because you know it proves to that it's just playing
you know different tournaments and whatnot but now they have the actual league and they've been able
to use that to improve. I mean as you mentioned fpx and trace we've just been seeing bctc and only if
you guys roll man only if you guys go. Insanely across this year but it feels like edg we're going
in an exponential. Hang it out. I do have to enjoy the water parties. I'll try my best.
Every single time you ask them what would it mean to you to win trophies I will try to
to say to the fans, et cetera, et cetera.
They have always, you know,
we had a good group of people on here.
Shout out to everyone who came on.
Those guys are real MVs.
We want to open the door for the region.
We want to set it in a circle
because we believe in our region.
We believe in the other teams.
So they can also come here and we're first team as well.
And I think that might just happen.
As Saichou mentioned it, he said that exact thing
on that cast, and he said they have just
absolutely stand-by on the door all of his hinges.
And they have, I think that this is the beginning
of a lunch that's where it is possible.
and region internationally. I think that this could very well be the start of the
atmosphere.
And I like your CR.
I got no!
FBX, I'm still like you.
I'm still being pushed out.
FBX is going to go back and talk, and then someone is going to be like, oh, they already
won a trophy.
I'm going to leave the show for a couple of minutes.
And I mean the moment is, of course going to be a lot of a gank talk.
I'm going to have to talk about the other players too.
Yeah.
And what's love?
What's love?
He's first event as an IGF Simon.
I'll cry if I keep talking.
So I'm going to call myself off here.
All of the cry.
I'll cry if I keep crying.
Thank you chat.
I'll see you guys in the next room.
Bye chat.
I love you guys.
Bye guys.
And he's here with the trophy.
I'll see you guys soon.
It's insane.
I love you guys.
The shades of what we saw from Karen
lifting the trophy over in Shanghai,
just having that rookie run to be so dominant,
to be able to get the accolades
and lift this trophy at the end of it all,
it's insane.
And I think that the other thing to keep in mind
is just how many changes the team went through overall
to get to this point.
They changed their IGL.
It went to nobody how long step back to be an assistant coach that changed the coach
There's been so many pivots from the squad and then to be able to persevere through all of those and not just have a decent
Performance a better performance than what we saw from Shanghai to lift the damn thing
It's it's just beautiful to watch and doing it against a team that has become so beloved by fans all across the globe
The performance
Again, yes, I know that we're gonna be remembering this that we will be talking about this
it happened again it went to a map 5 and we saw them being devastated and we know
it's very difficult to just come and say just think of the year that you have
think of the things that you've accomplished we are very excited to see
EDG in 2025 but my god are we not excited to see the second year of this
team heretics as well for their players where rookie is going in as well
it's heartbreaking that the record that they break is is the first ever team
to lose back-to-back international finals but they still had an
incredible year but for EDG just what an incredible moment for these guys. I'm just even more excited
to watch VCT for 2025 to watch CN. We went into this year with no Asian team ever lifting a global
trophy and now Pacific and China have won it to close this year out. Just time travel into like
next year. Let me just get started a little. It's gonna be like, you know, I would love to.
We still have a sense of we still have game changer. The year is not done. That's plenty. But thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Mimi for joining me for today before we go a big, big thank you to everyone that came out to see it at the coax atrium, the inspire arena, the fanfests and everything else this year.
Thank you everyone in the community as well our viewers all around the world.
We will be back next year, GGW and we'll see you then.
