19:06 [music] Oh yeah.

19:09 Sunglasses.

19:10 So fresh.

19:11 It's so fashion.

19:12 This drip is fashion.

19:14 Here we go.

19:18 And I feel so high.

19:31 It's endless.

19:33 [music] So high [music] it's scandalous.

19:43 You can't handle this.

19:45 My chips are stacking.

19:47 I'm on and I'm laughing.

19:49 Getting rich.

19:50 [music] Who's asking ice cold still frozen?

19:57 Oh child, I'm chosen.

19:58 [music] Oh [music] yeah.

20:04 Yeah.

20:10 [music] And I feel it.

20:15 It always ends in five.

20:23 So high is what have thought the first day [music] of the month,

20:41 but who cares about that?

20:44 That's in spring.

20:45 2v2s.

20:46 Southeast Asia.

20:48 Well, those are my favorite words in the whole English dictionary.

20:51 Dude, I feel like So, yeah, it's spring.

20:54 But first off, it's cold where I am.

20:56 Also, like we got a little Christmas thing going on, you and me.

20:59 You see this little green background, red background.

21:01 Look at that kinder.

21:03 We don't even know what season it is.

21:05 You know what?

21:05 I barely You know what?

21:06 You know what that means?

21:07 We're timeless.

21:08 We are absolutely timeless.

21:10 We We're actually immortal.

21:12 Every time we are on this mainstream,

21:14 we we gain a few years of life and then when we're not on it,

21:17 we lose a few years of life.

21:19 So, I think the idea should be we pass nonstop for the rest of eternity.

21:25 That's true.

21:25 I think we should do that.

21:26 I was going to say uh we got some exciting games coming up.

21:30 So, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

21:31 I was uh over at the studio last week and I got to cast

21:34 with you last week uh to do a quick little block on Friday as well.

21:38 So fun to be able to run it back with you for the entire weekend.

21:42 I'm so stoked for [music] it.

21:43 And uh

21:44 most people would say they feel bad for you, but I'm happy that you're here.

21:46 Oh, stop it.

21:47 Don't do that.

21:48 Don't do that.

21:48 No, I'm pumped.

21:49 I'm pumped.

21:49 It's going to be fun.

21:52 I don't Do we have Do we have a match list?

21:53 I can never read the bracket.

21:54 I'm just going to say honestly, this bracket confuses me.

21:58 Whenever I go to website, I get confused.

22:00 I I get confused, too.

22:01 I'm glad I'm not the only one.

22:03 Usually, I just kind of keep it deep down inside.

22:05 Honestly, I I can just barely read in general, but um from what I've gathered,

22:10 what I've been able to piece together through

22:12 the Rosetta Stone of our of our bracket link,

22:16 uh right now it's going to be our usual suspects in the top four, top six area.

22:20 Uh we did have some upsets in Winter's Walt.

22:23 And so, uh right now it's going to be our I believe

22:26 our top two and three team from Winters making it through the upper bracket.

22:30 But here here's the interesting thing, right?

22:32 our winning team, the team that normally wins

22:36 uh 1v ons and 2v2s for Southeast Asia,

22:39 they were knocked down to the lower bracket early.

22:41 So, they're going to have to make a huge run in the lower

22:44 bracket to see if they can make it back to that championship round.

22:48 Yeah, super excited to see it.

22:49 Yeah.

22:49 And I I think the big thing that we talked about actually if

22:52 if we want to go kind of high level [music] here is um

22:56 the deck changes that we talked about so much from uh last week

23:00 and I think a lot of people are really interested this weekend to see

23:04 how they operate in a twos format because it's going to be a little

23:08 bit interesting for I think lowex

23:10 legends getting disarmed all the time potentially

23:12 highex legends being able to hang on to the weapon for a tad

23:15 bit longer especially in twos where you get so many true combos in 2v1's.

23:20 I'm really excited to see what happens here.

23:22 So, let me ask you this, Walt.

23:24 What's going to happen with dexterity changes?

23:26 You're completely right, but what about if they equip super dexterity?

23:31 Oh my gosh.

23:32 Well, we don't have to worry about that yet, right?

23:34 I don't think that's coming for a second.

23:36 It's in It's in the game.

23:37 Oh, is it?

23:38 Oh[ __] Oh, yeah.

23:38 [laughter] My my buddy and I we we locked in.

23:41 We've been playing super stances.

23:43 I got to say my favorite one so far, dude, is going to be super attack on Jala.

23:47 You get three defense, nine attack on a sword.

23:52 Dude, we were on That's gross.

23:53 Yeah.

23:54 No, I saw I saw a bunch of clips uh

23:57 when it was announced of people basically labbing like, "Oh,

24:00 this is what uh 10 decks true combos look like

24:03 or 9 deck true combos look like." It's It's heinous, dude.

24:07 Like, I'm really scared.

24:08 Um, but for twos, I I'm I'm wondering I think my read right now is that because

24:14 the uh because so many combo routes are true

24:17 because you have a second player there with you,

24:19 unless you introduce DI or you know, we can get super granular like that.

24:23 But because you can usually get like pretty extended strings off 2v ones,

24:27 maybe it matters a little bit less.

24:29 It's like I don't know if they're really going to feel it as much.

24:32 Um, okay.

24:33 However, with all those extra players on screen,

24:36 that can mean weapon starves are going to be a little bit more important.

24:39 Um, you lose the stocks.

24:40 Something I've brought up very very often in the twos

24:42 format as well is just offset timers on respawns, which matters.

24:46 Um, so again, I mean, like it's hard to tell for sure.

24:50 Like I'm going to have to watch a first set and basically

24:52 like see it real time to to see how the pros handle it.

24:56 I mean, we can see that some players in our lobby

24:58 right now and we're we're cheating a little bit.

25:00 We can see all the players locking in right now.

25:02 Are going for the deck stance early.

25:04 We do see vortex on that Kaya.

25:07 Um not super stance unfortunately.

25:10 I I don't I haven't familiarized myself with what

25:12 the superstances for Kaya [music] specifically look like yet.

25:15 I'm a you're going to hate me, Walt.

25:18 I am a sweaty sweaty sword man.

25:23 Are you?

25:23 It's a good It's Listen, I I don't hate that.

25:25 I don't hate that.

25:26 There's there are worse there are worse things in the world right now.

25:28 Especially, you know, I play I mean I'm I'm through and through Red Raptor, man.

25:33 My orb has been Never mind.

25:34 There are

25:35 uh Yeah, listen.

25:36 I mean, orb is fine.

25:37 [laughter] It it'll it just won't get touched for a while, but you know,

25:40 everyone is really on the gauntlets and hammer

25:42 train right now and that is what it is.

25:44 So, uh you know, what can you do?

25:47 However, we aren't seeing any orb in our first game

25:49 as we're going to load into game number one shortly.

25:52 I see Vortex Plum, Sajaru, um, and who's the last person?

25:56 Aoro.

25:58 Yep, Auroro.

25:58 And so, Sajaru, Sajaru and Aoro, they were,

26:02 um, the second place winning team from Winters.

26:05 Um, I think they made somewhat of an upset

26:08 run making it through the upper bracket.

26:10 Uh, they just knocked down uh, Leon,

26:13 which is going to be Keith and uh, Keith's team, into the lower bracket.

26:17 And so now Vortex and company,

26:18 they're going to have to find a way to get back into this wall.

26:21 Let's get into it.

26:22 Game number one heading over to the Southern Air Temple.

26:25 We'll see if the uh the deck predictions come

26:27 to fruition as some first weapons are picked up right now.

26:30 Vortex left odd man out as he finds the bow finally.

26:34 There we go.

26:34 That's going to be Spear as well from Clum's side.

26:36 The Tesa is going to be the player I'm going to focus on the most.

26:39 Once you get that grounded control and you

26:40 can catch a landing off certain players,

26:42 it is going to be signature city population just Sedaru.

26:47 Mhm.

26:47 I believe it.

26:48 Let's see.

26:50 Okay, just a couple of narrows off the right side.

26:52 Looks like we're split off into a couple 1v ones.

26:54 Again, the timing is what I want to figure out here.

26:56 Tesco already disarmed off the right side.

26:59 Nice really great reaction there from Leum to be able

27:02 to turn that one around and make it a double.

27:04 I really like this start from the blue team.

27:07 Yeah, GC neutral coming out from Plum's side.

27:09 Perfect timing off of Vortex as well.

27:11 That is some scary synergy that these teams have been going on.

27:14 And you got to keep in mind too.

27:16 Okay.

27:16 Okay, Sjaru.

27:18 Beautiful work off of the recovery.

27:20 Second one doesn't connect.

27:21 Got to keep in mind though, all these teams there there haven't been

27:24 a lot of 2v2 swaps inside of Southeast Asia.

27:26 So, these teams have been together for longer than most marriages, dude.

27:30 Like they they have [laughter] been working together for so long.

27:33 But unfortunately, that's Sajaru losing that second.

27:35 No, never mind.

27:36 Off.

27:37 He's coming back onto the stage.

27:39 I thought he was a goner.

27:40 Hits him with the heal.

27:41 Saru getting a little bit of extra credit here.

27:43 Tries to just jump out of trouble before Leum comes off the respawn.

27:47 Windmill comes down off the ground pound, picks up the stock off the right side,

27:50 and now if you're Aurora, you just got to get out of trouble.

27:52 But there's another disarm.

27:54 Yeah.

27:54 Okay, so I'm seeing the deck changes happen in real time in this format.

27:58 And look at how quickly the stocks are flying.

27:59 Keg, they are going so crazy.

28:01 Wall.

28:02 It's wild, man.

28:03 Keep in mind too, Vortex has the biggest advantage into this matchup.

28:06 The fact that you have the long range of the bow

28:08 and spear to work off of everybody else's gauntlets.

28:11 You got to be up close and personal.

28:12 The Vortex has that nare to go for a consistent get off me tool.

28:16 The double spear dude is going to be so rough for the double gauntlet match up.

28:20 Very tough for sure.

28:21 See how red team can get back into this.

28:23 I think you probably look down at Leel

28:25 Plum who's a little bit more damaged right now.

28:27 Get a little bit of a favorable respawn timer.

28:29 However, look at Aurora just getting diced up in the middle.

28:32 Saru couldn't really find an opening to come in.

28:34 Signature doesn't connect off the right side.

28:36 We're going to see a connecting hit.

28:37 It's only a two-piece.

28:38 There's no stock off the top, but the disarm comes from Vortex.

28:41 Can't find the stocks, though.

28:42 Look at this.

28:42 And the ground pound comes through.

28:44 That's got to seal game number one for blue team.

28:46 Absolutely, man.

28:47 Look at Aurora now.

28:48 Not many places left to go.

28:49 We know the synergy is sound.

28:51 Somehow the signature doesn't connect from Plum's side.

28:53 And there you go.

28:54 DG for game one.

28:56 I I I don't imagine there there's a reality

28:58 where we don't see legend swaps coming into game two.

29:01 The Jar is going to be going for a reset, too.

29:03 So I maybe he was lagging.

29:06 Yeah, let's see what happens here.

29:07 I I I feel like what you were saying

29:09 with the with the bows and spears made sense.

29:12 Uh the thing with Tesca is like you

29:14 have such a good enabling kit with your signatures.

29:17 Like you can really alioop uh for your opponent

29:19 for your teammate and you can also secure

29:21 stocks with your signatures which is great but I

29:24 really did not see all too much of that.

29:27 I don't know if we have stats um for Yes, it looks like we do.

29:32 So, I wanted to see specifically how many signatures

29:35 Sajjaru went for, and I'm not I only see three.

29:39 Yeah, only connected one.

29:40 So, this is like one thing that I

29:41 think for this format and something that uh Munir

29:44 over in EU does really well with his Tesa

29:46 is he is such an enabler for his teammate.

29:49 Um, and is really good at just picking

29:51 up being reactive to whatever his teammate is doing.

29:53 It's just tough when you don't really have any agency in this game.

29:56 And look at how much damage he did in that first one.

29:58 180.

30:00 Yeah, really not much.

30:01 he was consistently being bullied by the 2v1 combos.

30:04 And again, I think a lot of it comes down to range, too.

30:06 The fact that you have a matchup that's so grounded and has such a get off

30:10 me tool with the double spears makes it

30:12 really hard for Tesa to just find that enablement.

30:15 Before we get to the next game, though,

30:16 do want to highlight really quick that we do uh

30:19 just some of the the winter champs uh bracket standings.

30:22 Sajaru and Auroro were fourth place last time.

30:26 Uh, our second place team, the low cortisol brawlers were Siren Sphinx.

30:30 They're going to be the upset this time.

30:32 And by upset, meaning I'm upset that they're

30:35 not going to be in this yet or anymore.

30:37 They are out as the second place team.

30:40 So, we have 1, three, and four left in the top three.

30:44 That's a guaranteed better placement for at least uh Daru.

30:49 Okay, let's get into game number two.

30:51 It looks like we are sticking with the same legends as well.

30:55 So to your point, it's just going to have

30:56 to be a pretty hard adjustment from red team in particular.

30:59 I think Sajaru just needs to do more damage, right?

31:02 As simple as that.

31:04 I think uh going over to Fortress Alliance is going to benefit a lot more too.

31:08 You only have one platform to work off of.

31:10 Allows Sedaru to play grounded a lot more.

31:12 You have to catch the landings off these players much more consistently.

31:15 He does move around which can stink but overall though much more grounded allows

31:21 the battle boots to find that at that run path that would be absolutely

31:24 necessary but unfortunately again Chunley does Chundley things.

31:27 That's a double KO early on.

31:32 Okay, stocks go flying a little bit and Vortex once again odd player out.

31:36 You have to get your pickups there if you're the red team though, right?

31:39 like already in red, get your teammate back off the respawn,

31:42 create a little bit of an offset,

31:43 and maybe create parody once again, but it doesn't work out.

31:47 How Plum is utilizing this floating platform the most, though.

31:49 I was really expecting red team to utilize it more,

31:51 but the fact that Plum will use it as a ground pound engagement

31:54 tool to allow Sajaru to not really have many options other than directly fight.

31:59 There it is, though.

31:59 Signatures out, that's going to be another one gone.

32:02 Djaru post reset doing a lot better of a job

32:05 for survivability wall but Raaru unfortunately not the case man.

32:10 Yeah, I'm gonna have to look at the uh the stats again at the end of this one

32:13 just cuz I I feel like we're just

32:15 not seeing enough enabling uh from the red team.

32:17 They had a couple good moments with some

32:19 uh with some quick three pieces and whatnot,

32:21 but blue team is just a little bit tighter and they're

32:24 closing the stocks which is obviously the thing that matters the most.

32:27 Holy, so many signatures coming through.

32:30 The damage is out, but the velocity gets shut down by simple attack.

32:34 So, everyone's just thrown back into the blender.

32:40 Covery's out.

32:41 Plum into the sky.

32:43 Lands back down.

32:44 And again, Signature should have connected against Plum.

32:46 That time around, it does.

32:50 Borro is going to be the X factor into this match up now.

32:54 127 damage on hardcore mode.

32:56 Cannot be allowed to make any mistakes.

32:59 tries to get back onto the stage.

33:01 Weapon throws out not once but twice over DC neutral sig underway.

33:05 Auroroing doing gymnastics to get back into this matchup.

33:10 Stays on the ledge but no triple exclavation marks.

33:13 That's so unlucky.

33:15 And now all that's left is Sajaru.

33:18 This doesn't work out for him.

33:19 He has one last attempt to stay into this matchup.

33:21 If not though, we're looking at the 3.

33:25 One last attempt.

33:27 Beautiful work overall from the blue team.

33:33 Okay, wild matchup, man.

33:39 So, again, it just feels like this grounded pressure

33:41 that we're seeing from both the Kaya and the Chunley.

33:43 And frankly, overall, just how well these two are bouncing off

33:46 of each other has been the most dominant factor.

33:48 Uh, sorry, replay guy.

33:50 We are heading straight into what convar will be the final

33:52 matchup of our winner side before uh before grand finals.

33:56 The Jaru locking in the Zull.

33:58 Harros, of course, from Aurora's side.

34:01 They're opting to go for more damage instead of more chip damage.

34:06 Yeah, let's look at some of the stats here.

34:09 One second.

34:10 My camera just started going a little bit crazy.

34:15 Just can't trust camera.

34:16 Saro.

34:16 Yeah, a lot more damage.

34:18 This was like 3x his damage from game number one, right?

34:22 And a lot more signatures.

34:23 Seven Sigs.

34:24 100% of them hit.

34:26 Like super super big difference maker, right?

34:29 However, we're seeing a swap.

34:32 Yeah.

34:33 Yeah.

34:33 Aurora unfortunately had a really struggling last game.

34:35 He did go for a reset, so I think it was just, you know, unlucky on his part.

34:40 It happens.

34:41 Overall though, it's going to be once again back to Western Air Temple.

34:44 This has been a good stage that's benefited the blue team quite a bit more.

34:48 Again, I'm looking at those platforms just to be able to hop around

34:50 and get those early resets for top level last zone uh post recovery KOs.

34:56 Hopefully, cannon can make a big difference maker here.

34:59 I think the ledge guard potential for Sajaru will

35:01 be beneficial if he can land a starter onto cannon.

35:05 Unfortunately though, Plum not a care in the world.

35:07 GC signature almost connected.

35:09 Aurora has been evading quite a bit more, my friend.

35:12 But so far, this has been a big turnaround.

35:15 Yeah, these swaps are actually working out quite well.

35:17 It's just a matter of if uh red team can hang on to these stocks.

35:20 It's going to be like not for long forujaru gets the disarm there.

35:24 This is tough though when you're on the when you're on the z.

35:27 So see able to maneuver around that soft platform.

35:31 Not losing the stock quite yet.

35:32 This matters a lot if you're red team.

35:35 Nice.

35:39 Looking good so far.

35:41 Sar just had the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

35:44 Superstances could be available.

35:46 [laughter] could be on the 11 attack.

35:48 I'd be so down for that.

35:50 Both blue team members super hungry there,

35:52 but Sjaru comes in to pick up some of the meal scraps off the right side,

35:55 keeping Aoru in this stock for now.

35:59 Aoru is making me really nervous about these right side plays

36:01 because he did have three exclamation marks last game and unfortunately fell.

36:05 He thought he had one extra jump.

36:06 So, he's got to be very careful in these matchups.

36:10 Tries to do the dip down into the scoop stomp.

36:12 S my beloved Sajar goes coast to coast.

36:15 knocks Leum off the right side.

36:17 Now they can set their sights onto Vortex.

36:19 Let's see if there's an edge guard here.

36:20 Oh, okay.

36:21 Interruption.

36:22 See, Jaru does find the stock though off the right.

36:24 Vortex, a little bit of offense applied to equalize the stock.

36:27 And look at this.

36:28 The advantage is swung back in blue's favor with a little bit

36:30 of a 2v1 ISO going on as Saru comes off the respawn.

36:34 This is such a tough call, my guy.

36:36 I'm not really sure who's going to take the advantage from here.

36:39 It's down to who can break the seal between Vortex and Sajaru.

36:42 The mobility coming out from this Z has been so sound compared

36:46 to Auroru's Teros which unfortunately is

36:48 staying extra grounded this time around.

36:50 Adjustments from Vortex and Plum have

36:52 been playing more aerial and the anti-erial.

36:54 We're just not seeing as much of the double cannon matchup.

36:57 As I say that though, Seal Unbroken, Sajaru falls.

37:01 Auroral unfortunately getting bullied here until I was going to say, yeah,

37:05 this looks like kind of a fake lead for blue though, right?

37:07 Because as soon as Vortex falls off right there, you had a 2v1 ISO.

37:12 Red team couldn't make the most of it.

37:13 And Vortex right off to the races

37:15 again just capitalizing on both red team members.

37:18 What a statement to come off the respawn if you're Vortex.

37:22 And just like that, we might see the three.

37:23 Okay, absolutely.

37:25 And now Sidara loses this next stock, doesn't bring it to a next game.

37:29 We're going to be looking at the opportunity

37:30 where the team last coming in fourth place for Winters will have to face

37:34 against the champions from that last tournament.

37:37 So, let's see now.

37:38 Wonderful workout from Vortex's side.

37:41 Ground pounds underway.

37:42 Swap feeds are out.

37:43 That's such a tough position to be in, but we get a three-0.

37:47 Yeah, I mean it was really good maneuvering

37:49 from uh from Sajaru to try to get around that.

37:52 Use the bottom lip of of the stage

37:54 to at least avoid the first attempt at an edgeguard.

37:57 But at that position, once you're out of resources,

37:59 it's an easy GCD light into ground pound

38:01 to close out the stock and the set for blue.

38:04 That was a really good showing.

38:06 I was really impressed.

38:07 I I was really impressed with that showing, too.

38:09 And I I'm very excited to see what Vortex and Plum can do going forwards.

38:13 I I I'd have to look at the stats again,

38:15 but consistently, they've always just fallen short,

38:18 which to be fair, Southeast Asia just

38:22 falls to Keith in in [laughter] the category.

38:25 So, that's a that's a tough pill to swallow,

38:27 but Llum and Vortex doing a fantastic job overall.

38:30 Their synergy has been so sound in this matchup.

38:34 It's some of the cleanest 2v2s that I've seen in spring so far.

38:39 Oh my gosh.

38:39 I'm just looking at this.

38:40 Is that real?

38:41 Vortex did 700 damage.

38:44 That's ridiculous, dude.

38:46 Is that real?

38:47 Hang on.

38:47 I got to refresh the live stats to make sure.

38:49 Yeah, that's crazy.

38:50 That is an absurd.

38:52 And I was going to I I was kind of saying like damn, Vortex is cooking in this.

38:56 I didn't think he was cooking like 713 damage.

38:59 That's pretty nice

38:59 cuz he wasn't flashy.

39:00 That's the thing.

39:01 Like Plum is the flashier player,

39:02 but Vortex is the one nose to the grindstoneone.

39:05 Just gets the job done, man.

39:08 Yeah.

39:08 Really, really good showing.

39:09 So, they're going to be sitting pretty in grand finals of this bracket,

39:13 which means they have quite a minute to just hang out while we

39:16 let the events of the elimination bracket unfold right before our very eyes.

39:21 Keg, what are you thinking?

39:23 Well, I I was wrong.

39:24 I want to um fix my mistake really quick.

39:27 Sire and company are still in this matchup.

39:29 They're in the lower semifinals.

39:31 They just hadn't finished their previous matchup.

39:33 I thought they got eliminated already.

39:35 It happens.

39:36 So, our usual suspects at the top four still exist overall.

39:41 I truly don't know where we're going to go

39:43 from here if this is how Plum and Co are playing.

39:46 To me, I think this really depends on the wildard team, which is Sire.

39:50 I'm happy they're still in this.

39:52 Dyer's made 1 v one upsets in the past wall.

39:55 So, if there's a chance that he can break

39:56 this open and maybe go for another upset and 2v2 spear,

40:00 I think we could be in for a very cool matchup.

40:03 Yeah, let's get into it.

40:04 Keith and Frix versus Sire and Sphinx.

40:08 This is going to be fun.

40:10 And if the legends are any indication,

40:12 there's been some some talks of Bodvar making a pretty big comeback

40:16 in a big way thanks to all of these big changes that came out.

40:21 100% agree.

40:22 I love playing Bodvar and twos, dude.

40:25 The fact that he has the sword, which is such a great allrounder tool,

40:29 and then the hammer to be that grounded presence

40:31 that you need a lot for followthroughs [music] makes Eat's Bodebar,

40:35 especially Heath, because he won 1 v one springs last week with that Bode Bar.

40:40 Such a disturbingly good player.

40:43 And Frox on the Scarlet here, you really couldn't ask for better coverage.

40:48 Yeah, we were uh a big kind of like motif that we were talking about

40:52 at least in singles was uh with all of these big changes that were happening.

40:57 We were expecting to see a lot of Cassidy as one

41:00 of our kind of legends to look out for, right?

41:02 Because Cassidy signature kit is unbelievable.

41:04 You get true combo Dlight into uh[ __] It's it's absolutely gross.

41:08 U but you just get so many good uh weapons at your disposal.

41:12 Reason I bring this up now is if you

41:14 have the question that we kept bringing up was okay,

41:16 so obviously the hammer is really good with the Cassidy, right?

41:19 But the big thing that we were saying from last week is

41:21 how good are the off weapons for a lot of these players, right?

41:25 So for the Cassidy, how good are your blasters

41:27 for uh for the uh oh my gosh, what is it?

41:31 The one with the wisps.

41:32 Why can't I remember her name now?

41:33 Oh, Umo.

41:35 Yumo.

41:35 Yes.

41:35 How good is your off weapon there as well?

41:37 The bow.

41:37 Um but for the bodvar sword is in like a pretty good spot.

41:40 So, it's like kind of nice that you get two weapons that are pretty solid.

41:43 You can have a little bit more of an even

41:44 split between those two as you apply your offense.

41:48 I I agree.

41:49 I I I don't disagree with your point whatsoever,

41:51 but I think it's important to know that like for for 1 v ones and 2v2s,

41:55 I think the sphere is a lot different because 2v2s to me outside of team combos,

42:00 I think it's almost entirely macro for strategies.

42:02 So, as long as you have like this this this like cage around these players,

42:09 I think you can find a lot of success regardless

42:11 if you have like a weaker weapon in your kit.

42:14 Yeah.

42:14 Yeah.

42:14 Yeah.

42:14 I'm I'm definitely excited to see it.

42:16 It does, I think, open up a little bit

42:18 more flexibility in terms of just finding KO options, right?

42:22 Because the thing with uh a lot of your off weapons,

42:24 at least for singles format,

42:26 is it's like, okay, well, I'm having a hard time finding my opening hit.

42:29 Sword and hammer don't really have that issue.

42:31 So, see what happens right here as we go into game number one.

42:35 I will say though, Sword does struggle with KOs

42:37 at the higher level sometimes outside of like S, maybe like uh recovery.

42:42 Especially in 2v2s, it can be tough when

42:44 you have more consistent heavy hitters like Lance,

42:46 Cannon, uh the hammer from Keith's respect as well coming through.

42:51 Overall though, the chunky has been a common factor.

42:53 We're seeing this in two series in a row.

42:55 Keith has grounded control and Frox unfortunately is stuck in the air.

42:59 does have the benefit though of a lot of defensive to work with.

43:02 Dire needs to crack that seal open and see maybe if the first to fall for sure.

43:07 For sure.

43:07 This is a double disarm for red as well.

43:09 Okay, GC break dance from Spinx and the dip down as well.

43:12 Sire comes in from the top rope and hits the ground pound as well.

43:15 This is a great start for blue.

43:17 Absolutely love the coverage Sire has with the cannon right now.

43:20 Again, this upset that needs to be made.

43:23 Keith and Frox not usually in the lower bracket, especially for grand finals.

43:28 This is a tough spot for them to be in.

43:29 They were three-0ed early on.

43:31 N not for many team I believe is left in the bracket.

43:34 Have to double check that.

43:35 Keith though, great offstage play.

43:37 That was DC.

43:39 Dlight into a ground pound,

43:40 but Sire still recovers despite having it twice over like that.

43:44 Keith just gets into the mix.

43:45 Forces the stock off of Sphinx.

43:48 Makes this a competitive first couple of stocks right here.

43:50 There's a s from Keith.

43:51 Picks up all three and that's a really disastrous situation.

43:54 Ground pound means Keith goes off stage.

43:56 He's able to touch around instead.

43:57 Finds a stock and reply off of Sire.

43:59 That was probably best case scenario if you're red team.

44:03 Absolutely.

44:03 Now Lance still in full control keeping these players at bay right now.

44:08 Dear Dare finding a lot of value

44:11 double recovery unfortunately the second one doesn't connect.

44:13 That could have been an early end of Frox's last stock.

44:16 Not going to be the case though.

44:17 Forcing players off stage.

44:19 This has been so I love that.

44:21 The slide charge stop.

44:22 Oh.

44:22 [screaming] Oh my god.

44:24 Oh my god.

44:25 [laughter] That was so sick.

44:27 Clip that.

44:29 That was incredible, man.

44:32 They just keep it going.

44:35 Oh my gosh.

44:36 Yeah, you were saying it's kind of a surprise

44:37 for them to be in the lower bracket right now,

44:40 but it feels like they want to march

44:42 their way back to grand finals after that combo.

44:45 There is a lot of runway here for red team.

44:47 It's not out of the realm of possibility though.

44:48 If you're sphinx, you're pretty healthy.

44:50 You just cannot get picked up by a juicy opener from either red team member.

44:54 And look at this.

44:54 Ronx is just chilling, right?

44:55 Like when the land's equipped, you're just kind of hanging for a while.

44:58 You can let Heath do a lot of the heavy lifting in neutral.

45:01 Yeah, there we go.

45:03 And let recovery unfortunately misses.

45:05 N from Sphinx.

45:06 That's going to be possibly a recovery again.

45:08 No, not from either player.

45:10 They go for the safer option.

45:11 They try to catch the landing once more off of Sphinx.

45:15 There we go.

45:15 Gang number one.

45:17 I I will say as flashy as it looked, oh my god.

45:20 Wo.

45:21 Nearly 700 damage coming out from Keith.

45:25 Yo, just just show me the clip, bro.

45:26 I just I just want to see the clip.

45:28 It's [laughter] like, oh my gosh, it was already so good to get the first stock.

45:33 What happened here?

45:34 So, this was the scoop scoop,

45:36 and then Keith comes off soft platform, goes slide,

45:39 charge, stomp, s picks up stock, and then Alioop products is all the way in.

45:46 That was insane.

45:49 That's what you want to see, man.

45:51 I I got to say I think Keith is well biased

45:54 caster moment one of my favorite players to watch in this game.

45:57 I think his game sense and awareness might be the best in the game period.

46:02 And even though he's from a region that, you know,

46:04 maybe a little, you know, underrepresented in terms of, you know,

46:08 the top players that we see all the time,

46:10 you know, it's not like Sandstorm Goblies or anything.

46:12 I think Keith absolutely can make a top contender in international level, dude.

46:16 Like his bode uh legend to be brought out, his spacing,

46:21 and again his overall awareness of finding the right decisions.

46:24 Incredible work.

46:26 Yeah, for sure.

46:27 and see if he can run a little bit of defense and it looks

46:29 like he can as you were already gassing him up for that entire first segment.

46:33 Keith picks up strike.

46:35 He does hang on to the stock and importantly hangs on to the weapon as well.

46:39 Neither signature from blue team connects

46:41 but the recovery will do the job just fine.

46:43 Finally Keith loses hands of that weapon.

46:45 Still hanging on to this first stock though.

46:47 Sire ground pound comes through.

46:48 Dip down from Keith means the reversal happens.

46:50 It's a quick three-piece unarmed.

46:52 Tries to get back into the mix.

46:53 But this is only a matter of time.

46:54 And I think sphinx can just get recovery with gauntlet.

46:57 Syra s with the cannon will do plenty.

46:59 But Keith really hanging on to the stock.

47:01 Well, I'm just watching.

47:03 No.

47:04 Oh no.

47:05 [laughter] If it's anybody,

47:07 I'm glad it was from his teammate as Keith as I'm role playing,

47:13 but [laughter] unfortunately they had that first stock.

47:16 But Siren Company holding on still.

47:19 Spinx is still on his third stock.

47:20 You know, we I I've been gassing up teeth like you said, man.

47:23 But the fact that Sphinx has had so much survivability,

47:26 especially being a much more brawlier legend,

47:28 as I say that, loses that first dock.

47:30 That's okay.

47:31 Got to say, really impressive work overall from Wu Shanken.

47:35 For sure.

47:36 For sure.

47:37 Yeah.

47:37 And I mean, Sphinx is really tanking right now.

47:39 The thing is there's no stock sharing in this game,

47:41 so you can really focus down Sire if you find the opportunity.

47:44 And Keith is just going to tunnel onto it.

47:46 I do not blame him because if you get Sire to zero stocks,

47:50 Space is stuck in a 2v one.

47:51 No matter how many stocks you have, it's a hard position to be in.

47:54 Oh, unlucky.

47:55 What happens right now though?

47:57 Sinks falls.

47:58 That's the end of sire.

47:59 One stock left.

48:00 One to four.

48:02 I hate to say it, man, but at this point, you got to GG.

48:04 Go next.

48:05 You're facing elimination, dude.

48:07 That hold on.

48:08 That's two.

48:08 I mean, the the tough thing is both red team members had a spare stock.

48:12 So,

48:14 they did.

48:14 This This is the tough part, though.

48:16 No extra credit avails.

48:19 Vonx and Keith setting up for a 2v1 combo no matter what.

48:22 Recovery is out.

48:23 Keith loves to play off stage.

48:26 Like his life quite literally depends on it.

48:29 So no starter, no follow through.

48:31 Seeing basically the same macro position once again, right?

48:33 Like Frox has really no need to press a button unless

48:36 we're in a stack spot or he can secure a stop.

48:38 Just let Keith put the fries in the bag, bro.

48:41 We're getting game number two.

48:44 Look, you and that's just that's just part of the the knowledge, right?

48:47 It's like, okay, I have Lance equipped.

48:49 There's no starve for me to go for right now.

48:50 I can pretty much secure a stock

48:52 with almost any button if my teammates's in position, so why force it, right?

48:56 Really, really heads up play.

48:58 It was incredible work, dude.

48:59 I I'm really enjoying that these two working together.

49:02 And again, Tajaru and Auroro, they really impressed me in that last stock.

49:06 Um, just some storytelling really quick.

49:09 They were the ones that sent um Keith

49:12 and and Frox down into the lower bracket this time around.

49:16 So, if we see this next game go into a 3 0,

49:19 Bronx and Keith are going to have to go

49:21 for a mighty mighty force this time around.

49:24 So, if they can hold up the snuff, and they most certainly are so far,

49:28 we're going to be seeing a probably a much more evenly matched game.

49:31 But, we head on over to Wasteland.

49:33 This is going to be I'm sorry, Terminus.

49:36 I'm very curious to see how this plays out because it's a much larger stage

49:40 and also the three soft platforms here as well.

49:43 It's going to be a reverse 300 that's required from red team and this is not

49:46 the way you want to start it off with the BOGO combo keeping that one going.

49:50 Blue team already real damage right now.

49:53 Ronic just searching around for a weapon.

49:55 Scrambling finally finds the hammer.

49:57 GC stomps here pushes Sire off the right side means they

50:00 can set their sights on Sphinx for at least a moment.

50:04 Fantastic start.

50:05 We want to highlight that last game we saw

50:07 Keith hit the higher end of 600 damage yet again.

50:10 That's going to be the end of Sire's first stock.

50:12 Bonx not many options left.

50:14 He saved the day.

50:16 Goes for a dare.

50:17 Ends that first knock.

50:18 He [laughter] just might be drowning.

50:20 Oh, the candy ground.

50:22 I thought the save.

50:24 Oh my goodness.

50:25 Comes out a little late.

50:25 Wall, but Siren getting the double.

50:28 That's wonderful work to clean up.

50:30 Yeah, and I mean, you really got to see your cannon player come alive, right?

50:32 Like you pick Z because of how much damage you have.

50:35 Look at this come Zeros.

50:37 No, excuse me, just Z on the other side.

50:39 But uh to be for real, dude, they hit like a terror though.

50:43 And honestly, this might be one of the best cannon stages, too.

50:45 You have soft platforms that are just the perfect level to go for Nar.

50:49 You have a lot of enablement off of S potential.

50:52 Lot of grounded work for Zo signatures as well.

50:55 This is a great opportunity to get back into things unfortunately falls.

50:59 Not the position you want to be in.

51:01 Keep

51:04 show man.

51:05 This is great.

51:06 I meant to say amethyst.

51:07 That's my bad.

51:07 Yeah, the live stats were uh still from the previous set.

51:10 So, my fault on that one.

51:11 But yeah, when you have the amethyst there,

51:12 you really have to activate with the uh with the cannon.

51:15 And it looks like sire is starting to do so,

51:17 but there's only one stock left here.

51:19 Let's see if Spinx can make some action happen on the right side.

51:22 Gets the spear delight into S tries to force a little bit more.

51:25 And while that's all happening, I didn't even see the left side combo,

51:28 but Sire is absolutely putting in work.

51:30 I really like this macro play coming up in the blue team.

51:33 They are forcing Frox and Keith to not play into 2v2s or 2v1's.

51:37 They are forcing individual iso 1v1's dy especially highlighting

51:42 Keith and Sire again he's made upsets 1 v1's

51:45 and 2v2s taking games off of Keith but ground

51:48 pound is out potentially the last of 2v2 springs.

51:51 be holding on tight though.

51:53 Not out of the woods just yet.

51:54 Yeah, this one a lot more doable with your sphinx.

51:56 For sure.

51:57 For sure.

51:57 Yeah.

51:58 You get a weapon, you have the gauntlets.

51:59 Recovery is a KO on pretty much either player after this next hit.

52:02 If you were on a soft platform, it definitely secures it.

52:05 But now it's tough, right?

52:06 Like you cannot get picked up like that.

52:07 And it's an easy two-piece to close up the 3.

52:10 Wonderful work overall.

52:12 I I got to say again,

52:14 even though we saw a much better macro game coming up in the blue team,

52:17 I really enjoyed the fact that again, Keith had that recognition,

52:21 understanding that Canon has been the big pressure tool up against me, man.

52:25 Don't want to deal with that at all.

52:26 I'm going to back away and I'm going to try to play directly on the stage,

52:30 not off stage anymore, and see what happens next.

52:35 Yeah, I mean, this was really impressive.

52:36 even more contextualized by what you told me

52:39 before that the players we saw in our previous

52:42 set were part of the factor of taking Keith and Fix who were looking pretty

52:46 dominant in that set if I'm honest uh

52:49 into the elimination bracket which means we are

52:51 I think guaranteed to get a run back

52:54 with them right like they play each other next

52:57 yeah absolutely dude and that's going to be for elimination side though again

53:01 upper upper side uh it was in the semis it was 31 one,

53:06 Keith losing out, going down to the lower bracket.

53:09 Then we see uh this this huge run from La Plum

53:13 and Vortex bringing um Sajaru and company down into the lower bracket too,

53:17 forcing out this rematch.

53:19 Very excited to see as we only have a few teams left.

53:22 We have our lower finals in just a few moments, everybody.

53:25 Keep in mind this has normally been the Keith show,

53:28 but I have a feeling deep down inside what's left of my soul,

53:32 this could be upset central if Sajaru and Aoro [music] make this work.

53:37 Don't go anywhere.

53:38 Hype matchups coming up real soon.

53:40 Be back in a moment.

53:58 [music] I'm rising up from the ground.

56:44 [music] Welcome back folks to [music] the Raala Southeast Asia

57:04 big time tournament over in Spring Champs double 2v2 action.

57:08 I'm [music] Walt.

57:09 We got Keg over here.

57:10 We're rocking our Christmas backdrops right now, too.

57:13 Things are looking great.

57:14 And Streets are saying,

57:15 and by streets I mean Keg told me this literally before the break.

57:19 He also told all of you guys this right

57:21 before the [music] break that we're seeing Keith and Frronix

57:24 face off against the team that beat them in elimination

57:27 side finals for our top three of this bracket.

57:29 [music] So this is I'm going to put my hands up.

57:32 I don't have enough room in the frame.

57:33 I'm put my hands up.

57:34 It's the cinema.

57:35 Should I do the cine the pure cinema?

57:37 Absolute cinema.

57:38 Yes.

57:38 [laughter] I love it.

57:40 How are you doing, man?

57:41 I'm doing good.

57:41 You know, if this wasn't such a high matchup,

57:43 I'd ask you what kind of street I am.

57:45 Am I a nice paved street one with all

57:48 I think you're you're well yeah you're well put together like well

57:52 you know I think so no I believe it I believe it

57:55 you got some civil engineers on the case

57:57 over there building that we civil engineers on me

58:00 all the time dude constant operating trying

58:03 to maintain me before I fall apart but you

58:06 know we're we're doing our best out here we're we're doing our best not to be

58:10 one of those horrible New England roads speaking

58:12 of [laughter] not horrible New England roads though.

58:15 We're heading on over to our next matchup.

58:17 Maybe the hype one here.

58:19 Tesca and the Tesca's returning from Sajaru.

58:23 And I got to say, I'm I'm a little surprised.

58:26 I think the Zol Teros match up we saw from them before it got uh

58:30 brought down to uh the lower bracket was

58:33 the most confident we saw from this matchup.

58:35 The fact that you're running double gauntlets into the Scarlet,

58:38 I think can be good if you have aerial control, but Von is doing, excuse me,

58:44 doing such a great job using Nar and Sares

58:46 effectively having the air space in their favor.

58:49 I think this might be a struggle uh game one.

58:52 Yeah, I mean, if it I mean, look, we said it you said it before, right?

58:55 Aoru and uh Saru were the team to beat Keith and Frox,

58:59 so anything could happen for sure.

59:01 Uh I think is playing a little bit more

59:04 reactively when uh when the rocket lance is equipped,

59:07 but we do see double hammer online right now.

59:10 That's the signatures we'd like to see.

59:11 Baby Saru just throwing that one out.

59:13 Aaru can't really do too much more after that to get the pick up.

59:17 But Saru off the left side will secure first strike.

59:20 They get a little bit of 2v1 action over onto Keith.

59:23 So Keith masterfully maneuvering around that one.

59:26 There we go.

59:27 Good follow through side out.

59:30 That's going to be a double KO once again.

59:32 Weapon Star was out though.

59:33 Keith Hammer early damage trying to find it.

59:36 That's going to work well.

59:39 All right, Auroro gets a pretty unassuming KO off the top.

59:44 I believe that was unarmed as well.

59:46 Uh but does find one pushes off the right side.

59:49 Wow, nice little ball pass going over to Sjaru to keep the action going.

59:54 Unfortunately, sweat beats means could not pursue that one a little bit further.

59:57 Looks like Jar just changing dance

59:59 partners going over towards Keith instead now.

1:00:01 Keith pursuing that one further with the chase

1:00:03 dodge over towards the right side.

1:00:04 Picks up the sword.

1:00:04 No recovery, but the dar instead.

1:00:06 That was so sick.

1:00:06 Okay, gets the recovery.

1:00:08 Not too much more after that.

1:00:10 Saru picks up two, only gets the first one now.

1:00:12 And there's a disarm off the right left side, excuse me.

1:00:15 And finally, as the dust settles, there's a stock off the right.

1:00:18 It seems like Sajaru was just all over the place in that stock.

1:00:22 Oh, I got to highlight Keith again, man.

1:00:24 The fact that we're seeing Froxic struggle

1:00:25 in this 1 v one match up against Sajaru.

1:00:28 Uh the battle boots specifically.

1:00:30 Keith comes through,

1:00:31 takes those 1v ones instead helps turn the tide of the battle.

1:00:34 From unfortunately falls, recoveries out though.

1:00:37 Keith keeping the stock afloat momentarily.

1:00:40 Prox is finding a lot more success against the Aaru 1 v1's.

1:00:43 The fact that we're seeing that recoveries out all good.

1:00:46 The fact that we're seeing this change of pace now is

1:00:49 going to swap up the macro for blue team so much.

1:00:51 For sure.

1:00:52 For sure.

1:00:52 And I really like what Froenix is doing, right?

1:00:54 Especially knowing that the weapon uh disadvantage

1:00:57 state with Lance is just so bad sometimes.

1:00:59 Like do not press a button when you're in the 2v1 [music] situation.

1:01:02 Wait for your teammate to come back.

1:01:03 Really just force the equal numbers right there.

1:01:06 As the dust settles though, we're seeing roughly even damage.

1:01:08 Keith breaks out of that uh for sure combo off of the first signature hit.

1:01:12 Nare pushes it up.

1:01:13 Chase dodge pursues.

1:01:14 Recovery.

1:01:15 Nobody [music] home.

1:01:16 Seeing a little bit more off the right side platform there.

1:01:19 From just lets it rock.

1:01:22 Wonderful work again.

1:01:23 Frox finding extra value now.

1:01:25 Playing patiently catching the landings.

1:01:26 Unfortunate dodge comes out through 2v1.

1:01:31 Wonderful meltdown once again.

1:01:33 Excuse me.

1:01:33 [laughter]

1:01:35 Okay.

1:01:35 Unbelievable man.

1:01:36 And I hate to say this, but for Keith that was a in the damage

1:01:39 department a lackluster game while he only only got 570 damage, dude.

1:01:47 Yeah.

1:01:47 Didn't even get 600.

1:01:48 How how derivative.

1:01:50 How disappointing.

1:01:50 I can't believe it.

1:01:52 Is it time to retire a Keith?

1:01:54 [laughter] Never.

1:01:57 Crazy crazy stuff.

1:01:58 Yeah, I mean the I I think we just saw it in that last replay as well,

1:02:01 but just the the awareness and the slip through to be able to get

1:02:04 that hit onto specifically a blue team member and not hit both was really nice.

1:02:09 Also, really good opening right now for game one.

1:02:12 And we bring it over to Nishima for game number two.

1:02:14 Swapping over the dojo.

1:02:16 I think this is going to be a great match up again.

1:02:18 I think this stage benefits the blue team quite a bit.

1:02:20 You have the battle boot specifically that can shut

1:02:22 down Lance even harder than Cedru did in game one.

1:02:26 I think the fact of the matter now is that the macro probably downloaded

1:02:30 if there's no major changes from the blue team on the red team's front.

1:02:33 Avoid if I'm Frox, I avoid Sajaru, especially on those battle boots.

1:02:37 That recovery almost didn't work for Frox's side.

1:02:40 Second recovery does get back onto the shore.

1:02:42 Unfortunate neutral sink sends E up into the sky,

1:02:45 but so much damage has been applied that I think Frox can make up for it.

1:02:50 And just recovery forces out.

1:02:52 We are seeing blue team members get a little bit hurt now.

1:02:56 Anything from recovery with sword is going to be close.

1:02:58 Stomp here will do the trick.

1:03:02 There's the first one.

1:03:04 Second one not quite enough juice on it.

1:03:05 But the double weapon toss means there's really nowhere for you to go.

1:03:09 But Keith just conceds the space knowing

1:03:11 that Auroro was coming back off the respawn.

1:03:14 But Saro was sweat beating on that left side.

1:03:16 You could have maybe secured a stock if you were a little bit more ambitious.

1:03:18 I don't blame you for not pressing it though.

1:03:21 Tough call to Bend though.

1:03:23 2v1.

1:03:23 He debating it.

1:03:24 Auroro getting caught into the side the neutral.

1:03:27 That's going to work well.

1:03:28 Unfortunately, okay, reversals out.

1:03:33 Saw a great pick up there getting three

1:03:35 into two into the last stock off the left side.

1:03:38 Saru quick little free piece off the top.

1:03:41 Not getting too much more after that.

1:03:43 Really just dicing up.

1:03:44 And you see double chase dodge through as well.

1:03:47 Just trying to pursue the stock for as long as possible.

1:03:50 Just the end life from Chronic Hammer is enough

1:03:53 to finally stem the bleeding just a little bit.

1:03:56 Talking about these soft platforms again,

1:03:57 Auroro can completely evade both Frox and Keith and the fact that it's a 2v1's.

1:04:02 Normally, we see this red team take advantage

1:04:04 of that fact play into the the man advantage,

1:04:06 but unfortunately we don't see that high evasion of gauntlets.

1:04:09 Auroru does fall though.

1:04:10 Sajaru again fighting around these platforms.

1:04:13 Deep and Fox try to capitalize on that micro mistake.

1:04:16 They still cannot do it.

1:04:18 Almost got the stomps off of I think

1:04:21 the mist timed Tesa signature pick up on his teammate.

1:04:26 Picks up one.

1:04:27 Almost gets the other one as well.

1:04:29 This is so close to getting a stock, but somehow Keith weaves his way out of it.

1:04:33 The evasionist evasionist.

1:04:35 The evasiveness that we're seeing from blue team right now has been incredible.

1:04:38 These gauntlets working sublime to avoid the double hammers.

1:04:42 Go.

1:04:42 Final boots send them upwards.

1:04:45 Great work overall.

1:04:47 Is there anywhere to go?

1:04:48 The answer is yes.

1:04:50 Taro unfortunately misread the GC.

1:04:51 Neutral sig trying to get that one last hit to go to the upper platform.

1:04:55 That doesn't work.

1:04:56 Bronx has to rack up damage.

1:04:58 Cannot get any more team damage.

1:05:00 That's the jaru fall and thearu again

1:05:02 can play these upper platforms to evade Ke.

1:05:05 I was going to say we we call that a hood lead in some places, right?

1:05:08 Cuz it's like, okay, you're up a stock, but it's like as soon as Ajaru falls,

1:05:12 you can really put your teammate in a pretty bad spot.

1:05:14 That's a pretty rough miscommunication.

1:05:16 Unforced error there puts stage order way off stage.

1:05:19 Recovery hits the teammate though if you're red team.

1:05:21 Pretty unfortunate.

1:05:22 And Keith starting to hit his teammate a couple more times too.

1:05:25 Recovery after recovery is coming through off Keith's sword.

1:05:29 Boro can't find any endlight.

1:05:32 Keith tries to dip down and get another recovery for potentially the stock.

1:05:36 It's going to take a little bit more damage I think

1:05:38 especially from that positioning for uh sword recovery to get there.

1:05:41 Yeah,

1:05:43 he's out.

1:05:44 Looking good.

1:05:45 Oh, Frox recovery.

1:05:47 Makes it back.

1:05:48 This is really anybody's game.

1:05:49 This is crazy.

1:05:50 Yeah, my team was playing so carefully.

1:05:53 Weapon throw is out.

1:05:55 Still finding a way back in.

1:05:56 Recoveries out.

1:05:57 Had it been any higher up, that would have been the end of this game.

1:06:00 But there we go.

1:06:01 Possibly elimination.

1:06:03 Sajaru, what can you do?

1:06:05 Get into a 1 v one.

1:06:06 Hold on.

1:06:07 It's still anybody's game.

1:06:08 You're completely super doable.

1:06:09 Super doable kick above.

1:06:11 Battle boots are out.

1:06:12 How do you kick above your This is

1:06:15 I mean you got to get a couple more hits, right?

1:06:16 And then you get sidelight recovery, right?

1:06:17 So you start with the stack position.

1:06:19 Let's see if can make it work.

1:06:21 Just catch the landing.

1:06:22 Okay.

1:06:22 Whip punish.

1:06:23 No.

1:06:24 No.

1:06:24 To play overly aggressive.

1:06:26 Oh, that's a crazy miss.

1:06:28 Oh my.

1:06:29 I can't believe he risked that.

1:06:30 I can't believe he risked that.

1:06:32 That was crazy.

1:06:34 I mean, the fact that we're seeing aggressive risks like this from uh from Blue

1:06:38 Team really goes to show that Southeast Asia

1:06:40 is one of my favorite regions to cover.

1:06:41 You have to go for unexpected options.

1:06:44 Most players, I feel, wouldn't expect it.

1:06:46 I don't think Keith expected it either.

1:06:48 The fact that it didn't connect and the soft platforms,

1:06:51 even though it benefited Blue Team,

1:06:52 the entirety of Mishima Dojo up until that final play is so heartbreaking, dude.

1:06:58 Dang, that was a crazy set, too.

1:07:01 Yeah.

1:07:01 Yeah, I mean I was going to I was about to say like look,

1:07:03 we're clocking that uh that we're seeing

1:07:05 you know what uh some dodges come through.

1:07:08 So like the Tescanires weren't connecting with the gauntlets, things like that.

1:07:12 But then Sara just rips a signature in neutral.

1:07:16 It's like dang, [laughter] if you hit it, you're sick.

1:07:18 If not, all right, we go next.

1:07:21 Dude, all these players are just unbelievable, man.

1:07:23 The positioning overall has just been sublime from each of these players.

1:07:27 I'm really enjoying watching this matchup.

1:07:29 He over to Western Air Temple.

1:07:30 I think this is a downgrade from the team dojo if on the blue team.

1:07:34 You do have that evasive nature again,

1:07:36 but you're really playing more for isolated 1 v ones

1:07:39 and forced to play more aggressive in those 2v1 scenarios.

1:07:42 If they do happen, then you probably want I also feel like the top platform was

1:07:47 pretty important for blue team if I'm being honest.

1:07:49 Dar did almost 600 damage and how many stocks came off of the boost recoveries?

1:07:53 It was at least two in that last game.

1:07:55 So, you're just going to see that maybe

1:07:56 a little bit less just for macro positioning.

1:07:59 I I'm certain they'll still get a couple stops with it, but we'll have to see.

1:08:03 Yeah, and Western Air Temples blast zones

1:08:05 are also wider overall from Moshima dojo.

1:08:07 So, even though you have that lesser platform,

1:08:09 you still have even more room to make up for on that upper platform.

1:08:13 You're going to be relying more on side KOs if you're blue team.

1:08:16 It's not really the position you want to be

1:08:18 in, especially 2v2s against the lance and double hammer.

1:08:23 Mhm.

1:08:23 Okay, see it way off right side.

1:08:26 There's a recovery.

1:08:26 does find it off the back of the right side platform.

1:08:29 So, we are still seeing it regardless.

1:08:32 It's a matter of positioning.

1:08:34 So, Jaru's been doing some such a good job staying afloat here.

1:08:38 Get back onto the stage.

1:08:39 Oh no, you don't want to have a signature,

1:08:41 especially when Aurora is so far behind on that second stock.

1:08:46 Stops air.

1:08:47 Plenty of damage to get that stock even

1:08:48 from basically crosscourt if you're one v1's once again.

1:08:55 And I I love the idea again forcing Sajaru to take this fight up against E.

1:09:00 Battle foods versus Lance.

1:09:01 This is the position Sigaru wants to be in.

1:09:03 Keith is constantly at his throat ensuring that won't be a possibility.

1:09:08 2v1's route though having that lance in the air works out well.

1:09:11 Spot out.

1:09:14 How did he get away with that?

1:09:16 That's crazy.

1:09:19 That's a certified Aurora moment having that coverage out.

1:09:22 No sweeping underway.

1:09:23 That almost did not work out.

1:09:25 That could have been scary for Sajaru for a moment, but no.

1:09:28 Bringing it back.

1:09:29 Playing it safe.

1:09:30 Face the elimination now.

1:09:36 All right, weapons get the party started.

1:09:38 S gets met with the signature,

1:09:40 but interrupted before the animation could complete.

1:09:43 Get the disarm and also the stock onto Saru.

1:09:46 It's going to fall down to last,

1:09:47 but sights are set on Frox who is a little bit more hurt on last as well.

1:09:51 Nice.

1:09:52 Oh, but that clash for sure could have ended

1:09:54 Keith's second stock earlier than I would have expected.

1:09:56 There is a wave from Fronics.

1:09:58 That was sick.

1:09:59 But Walt, it's elimination stock potentially for Sajaru and Aaru.

1:10:03 But Frox has to fall.

1:10:04 That's the key to success.

1:10:05 Even if it's not going to be easy, you have to force a 2v one up against

1:10:09 where you get it.

1:10:10 This is definitely where you can get it.

1:10:11 We'll see if can take this slow, play it with recovery.

1:10:14 Plenty of resources left and able to get down,

1:10:16 touch the ground, reset all of it.

1:10:19 Really, really now you have to play this slow.

1:10:21 That's not what you want.

1:10:23 No, you can't go for upwards KOs here if you're blue team.

1:10:26 You have to do it from the side.

1:10:30 Oh, what a combo.

1:10:31 Oh, we get one.

1:10:33 They can get one on the board right now.

1:10:36 This is not going to be easy for Keith.

1:10:38 And this is tough, right?

1:10:39 There's so many.

1:10:40 Yeah, you're in so much lag.

1:10:41 Even if you do get one neutral one.

1:10:43 Yeah, they're going to get one on the board here for sure.

1:10:44 I was going to say with both of them at basically yellow,

1:10:47 it's like what what do I open with, right?

1:10:49 Like if I just do a raw sair, if I do a stomp,

1:10:52 even if I hit one, the other one's going to be there to probably net the K.O.

1:10:56 at the end of it.

1:10:57 Yeah.

1:10:57 And that's really the benefit of having the double gauntlets

1:10:59 combo is that you you just have that quick follow through.

1:11:01 You have a lot of coverage and you have fast reaction time.

1:11:05 Your spacing is sound and you know how to hit a gravity cancel.

1:11:07 It's it's wraps in a lot of 2v1s.

1:11:10 I will say though, Walt, we've been here before.

1:11:14 Yeah.

1:11:14 But in reverse, it was one, three,

1:11:20 four's and Keith's team to fall against Sajaru and Auroro in the upper bracket.

1:11:25 Okay.

1:11:26 Okay.

1:11:26 Let's see if they can uh reverse the situation then,

1:11:30 reverse their fortune a little bit on Small Fortress Alliance,

1:11:33 or is it going to be the makings of a reverse 3 0 foru and Sajaru?

1:11:38 Only time will tell.

1:11:39 Historically speaking, we haven't seen a lot of upsets from Southeast Asia.

1:11:43 Zire was the one to do so.

1:11:44 I believe Winters.

1:11:48 Yeah, I believe Winters earlier this year and that that took me by surprise,

1:11:52 but we have seen Inklings of players now catching

1:11:55 up and having their capabilities of bringing it home.

1:11:58 There's not a lot of room to work with here if you're blue team.

1:12:02 This is not the stage I would have wanted

1:12:04 in my potential elimination matchup and we can see why.

1:12:07 Early stock take down from Auroro.

1:12:09 If you're not able to find that grounded control

1:12:11 with a D light start up with the bow, I think this will be a big shot.

1:12:15 Yeah.

1:12:15 And the hammer is just such a carry weapon on this map too

1:12:18 cuz like you can just get stomps there from pretty much anywhere and you're

1:12:21 like roughly in red like and you'll probably get a KO or really really

1:12:25 really good edge guard position as we saw from Keith getting burst right there.

1:12:30 Both members are going to be down to second stock though.

1:12:32 So let's see.

1:12:32 Comes through with the recovery.

1:12:33 Not too much more after that.

1:12:35 Chronics easily making their way back.

1:12:36 It leads to the touch on the wall.

1:12:40 Dude, if you're Scarlet, you're a kid in the candy store right now.

1:12:43 You have so much grounded leadway to get those uh side airs out on Lance.

1:12:48 You sorry, not side airs.

1:12:50 Yes, technically side airs, but side things sig out on Lance.

1:12:53 You have every capability under the sun to force out aerial

1:12:57 fights and he is great at dominating that with hammer s.

1:13:03 Okay.

1:13:03 God comes.

1:13:04 Well, it's really smart.

1:13:04 Hammer Ser doesn't connect.

1:13:07 Exhaustive recovery, I wonder.

1:13:09 But okay, nice interrupt.

1:13:12 That was really good wave by Keith to just kind

1:13:15 of wait until the uh hit was about to come through.

1:13:17 Don't get wrapped up in the in the action

1:13:19 of it and get a two for one on yourself.

1:13:22 Really, really nice defense.

1:13:23 And this is what I'm talking about with the macro for red team right now.

1:13:26 Again, you have all this ground and control

1:13:28 from side forcing out these aerial fights

1:13:30 from especially the Tesa and that allows Keith

1:13:33 to go for sares on both of these weapons.

1:13:35 That is his specialty in the bodar kit.

1:13:41 Okay.

1:13:43 Oh wow.

1:13:43 Actually going for offense right there when Frox loses the stock.

1:13:47 Both red team members on last.

1:13:49 We can feel this game maybe slipping away,

1:13:52 but Keith gets an edgeguard to put it last stock across the board.

1:13:55 Can they close this out before it snowballs out of control?

1:13:59 Auroro great evas with control.

1:14:00 Weapon throw was out from Bronx inside.

1:14:02 Does catch Auroro.

1:14:03 No follow through from Keith.

1:14:04 However, onto the ledge.

1:14:05 Neutral sig is out.

1:14:06 That's going to benefit again.

1:14:08 Auroro once but twice.

1:14:10 Not now.

1:14:10 The catches on his own teammate.

1:14:14 To go for another to catch out these aerial landings.

1:14:16 Well, that doesn't work.

1:14:17 Oh, they're they're hitting each other.

1:14:18 They just keep hitting each they keep hitting their teammates.

1:14:23 Okay.

1:14:23 Finally, as the dust settles, Frox gets one off the right.

1:14:27 Say Jaru pretty healthy on this stock.

1:14:30 Can pick up a stock with a recovery onto Frox specifically.

1:14:33 Uh but not with the gauntlets being disarmed right there.

1:14:35 And the starve comes through.

1:14:37 This is going from bad to worse now.

1:14:38 KS and it's just over.

1:14:41 Wonderful work again.

1:14:42 And I I always talk about how 2v2s is all macro play.

1:14:45 We see it here, case in point, from the red team.

1:14:48 the fact that they can change things up and even if the game play still

1:14:52 looks pretty similar I think from just like a normal POV the fact that we

1:14:56 see positioning swap up so much for the red team depending on the stage forcing

1:15:01 out different movement shifts from blue team

1:15:04 where it's a struggle for them to adapt.

1:15:06 We see the full reversal 3113

1:15:10 Auroro and Sajaru unfortunately get eliminated here.

1:15:13 They're out of 2v2 springs and we get

1:15:15 to see going forwards what's left for grand finals.

1:15:19 I'm excited.

1:15:20 They Listen, that's a good podium placement too for what it's worth.

1:15:23 But uh we get Vortex and La Plum who have been chilling for a hot minute now

1:15:29 on the winner side of grand finals and they

1:15:31 get to play against a pretty onfire Keith and Frix.

1:15:35 I'm really excited for this.

1:15:36 Do Do we know if they played earlier in the tourn Oh no.

1:15:40 Right.

1:15:40 cuz they they played uh you said they got eliminated

1:15:42 by Sajaro and Aurora or I guess sent [music] to eliminations, right?

1:15:46 Let me just double check my bracket really quick.

1:15:48 Uh for Vortex and Plum, no,

1:15:51 I I think of the top four historically

1:15:53 these two themes face against each other probably the least.

1:15:57 Vortex and Plum is usually the first to fall

1:15:59 and I think they almost narrowly always miss Keith in Phonics.

1:16:03 Um, but that being said though,

1:16:05 the fact that they had a a heck of a run this time

1:16:08 around goes to show that that'll probably change in in the future.

1:16:12 I will say, imagine this, like Plum and Vortex's spot is usually Sire's team,

1:16:18 and they have been the ones being

1:16:19 the the absolute wild card [music] in this matchup.

1:16:22 So, the fact now that we're seeing I I would consider Plum

1:16:25 and Vortex punching up their weight just by a teeny tiny bit,

1:16:28 getting into Grand I think is a really big statement in their own right.

1:16:32 For sure.

1:16:33 for sure.

1:16:33 Yeah, this is going to be fun, man.

1:16:35 I'm super excited.

1:16:40 Yeah.

1:16:39 Did my Did my game crash?

1:16:40 Do you see just a blank screen where you're looking?

1:16:43 No.

1:16:43 Yeah.

1:16:43 No, your game crashed.

1:16:46 Okay.

1:16:46 Um I think they went No.

1:16:47 Uh actually, it probably didn't crash.

1:16:49 I think they went into stage bands and then they went back to uh Legend Select.

1:16:52 Oh, I don't even have that on my screen right now.

1:16:54 That's okay.

1:16:56 It happens sometimes.

1:16:57 will say though uh from the people in chat,

1:17:00 no changes in the legend front coming out from any of these players.

1:17:03 That's going to be a huge potential momentum shift.

1:17:06 I think with the Kaya coming out compared to uh

1:17:09 the Devil Jin that we had seen in the last matchup.

1:17:11 Yes.

1:17:12 So the Chun Lee bow is a consistent factor with Vortex and Auroro.

1:17:17 It's that spear that I think could be a big checkmate against Ronx.

1:17:23 Okay, I'm loading back in right now.

1:17:25 I'm going to try to get into the lobby before things get started.

1:17:29 This is going to be fun, man.

1:17:32 Oh, they're they're figuring out bands right now.

1:17:34 Yeah, I'm excited, man.

1:17:36 So, while we're waiting for a few seconds,

1:17:37 I got to ask, who is your favorite legend in this game?

1:17:42 Red Raptor, bro.

1:17:44 Red Raptor.

1:17:44 Oh, that's why you're a Red Raptor, man.

1:17:46 Okay.

1:17:47 Okay, that's fair.

1:17:47 That's fair.

1:17:48 That's my guy.

1:17:49 Radish is the goat.

1:17:51 That's true, man.

1:17:52 Man, I haven't I haven't [music] covered Radish in such a long time.

1:17:55 I [laughter] miss him.

1:17:57 Yeah, I like Red Raptor.

1:17:59 Um the Oh, what is it?

1:18:02 Lady Vera looks really cool, but I can't tell if she's good.

1:18:06 So, I'm trying like I'm hesitant to play

1:18:09 the new the like Noo-Noo champ, but uh yeah, it's it they're all I mean,

1:18:13 all of them have good personalities, which I kind of like.

1:18:16 Yeah, me too.

1:18:17 I want to see

1:18:19 I want to see Lady Vera in 2v2s.

1:18:21 I think she could be insane in these matchups,

1:18:24 but you know, she's as slow as Molas.

1:18:27 She's a thousand years old.

1:18:29 I I can see why people [laughter] aren't really geared towards playing her.

1:18:32 I think she's her weapon kit's incredible.

1:18:34 Her Sigs are incredible.

1:18:36 Yeah, for sure.

1:18:36 For sure.

1:18:38 All right.

1:18:38 It's just like you're you're you're playing with two

1:18:40 left feet and they're both covered in cement.

1:18:44 Yeah.

1:18:44 Sometimes the chalk rooms are split and sometimes they're not.

1:18:48 It's great.

1:18:49 All right,

1:18:50 let's do it.

1:18:50 We're loading in.

1:18:51 Mishima dojo for game number one of grands.

1:18:55 Plum and Vortex with a set of buffer

1:18:57 as they enter grand finals on the winner side.

1:19:01 Keith and Frox need to win two.

1:19:03 Not often we see Keith and Frox coming in from the lower side.

1:19:06 They have to play for the black bracket reset.

1:19:08 Like you said, that's going to be potentially an endurance run

1:19:11 considering they just had to make a big lower bracket run.

1:19:14 Vortex and Plum, they got to sit and chill for a good, well, maybe half hour.

1:19:20 For sure.

1:19:20 For sure.

1:19:21 They have a cool down.

1:19:24 Let's see how some of these soft platforms at the dojo come into play.

1:19:30 Again, they were a lot of off-the-top KOs,

1:19:33 but that was specifically contextualized by Teesga and Battle Loots

1:19:37 getting a ton of recovery KOs in the previous set.

1:19:40 Not seeing that as much here.

1:19:42 Maybe recovery is something though.

1:19:43 Oh, maybe it's just a unarmed hit in the magnifying

1:19:48 glass to get the stock of your vortex.

1:19:51 That was awesome.

1:19:52 Wild double KO against Vonx and Keith early on.

1:19:54 This is the tempo setter that you want from both these players.

1:19:57 One thing that we highlighted before we got into Grand

1:20:00 Plum and Vortex had unbelievable synergy ma stagewide in 2v1 combos.

1:20:07 No doubt again that they can do that.

1:20:09 will say though, Keith,

1:20:10 I think his positioning is some of the best

1:20:12 and games some of the best in Guhala history, period.

1:20:18 So again, evasive nature, I think he will probably have to take

1:20:21 a bit more of a backseat into this matchup.

1:20:23 Bonx needs to step up.

1:20:26 A little unfortunate there.

1:20:27 Llum charging a signature, gets wrapped up by his teammate on the right side.

1:20:31 probably could have secured a stock if you

1:20:33 just released it uh and and got the alioop

1:20:36 that blue team was obviously looking for, but doesn't

1:20:38 always work out the way you want.

1:20:43 See, deep deep reds.

1:20:46 Yeah, I mean this is this is spear recovery basically on both red team members.

1:20:50 Even side air from uh Plum has almost nothing to do.

1:20:53 Pogo would easily secure it as well, but why not a Sair for the Bogo?

1:20:59 Ethan products are so insane.

1:21:00 Even they're losing stocks at the same time [laughter] twice.

1:21:03 Like we got to respawn together.

1:21:04 We have to do everything together.

1:21:06 I love it.

1:21:07 Is this what raw hollow marriage is like?

1:21:10 This is what being a two's teammate is all about, right?

1:21:13 I mean, that that's even more coveted than marriage.

1:21:16 [laughter] Let's see the action.

1:21:18 Keeping it going.

1:21:19 Vortex chase dodges upwards to try to pursue that.

1:21:21 While that's all happening, Plum loes stock off the left side and Vortex

1:21:25 is stuck in the Vortex for a little bit longer.

1:21:29 recoveries out.

1:21:31 The fact that uh we're we're seeing Plum and Vortex

1:21:33 really take advantage of Mishima having smaller blast zones,

1:21:36 getting recovery after recovery after recovery against Frox and Keith.

1:21:41 I guarantee we're not going to be seeing

1:21:43 this stage again for the rest of the matchup.

1:21:46 All right, let's see.

1:21:48 Vortex a little bit of a blind spot there with the uh side light from the bow.

1:21:52 Does find the stock though and forces the 2v1.

1:21:55 Keep gravity cancel signature.

1:21:57 Not enough juice to get that stock,

1:21:58 especially with Plum and Vortex being rather healthy on their last.

1:22:04 Not out of the realm of possibility, though.

1:22:05 Again, these stomps and these sares are pretty committal.

1:22:08 So, if you only clip one, you're probably not getting it.

1:22:10 And it's just a recovery away from either booty member.

1:22:13 Even an end from Plum off the left side is enough to secure game one.

1:22:17 Yeah, such a chip heavy match up

1:22:18 with the double with the gauntlets and double spear.

1:22:20 So tough for Keith.

1:22:21 Unfortunately, we haven't seen them hit clutches

1:22:23 like that so far on stream today.

1:22:25 It's there's really not much you can do here.

1:22:28 I I got to say I I'm a little nervous about

1:22:31 the Scarlet matchup coming into this against the Chunley and Kaya.

1:22:35 We're seeing Frox not swap away, I'm okay with that.

1:22:38 Unless Yeah, we see Mishima banned out from Franics.

1:22:41 I think as long as we see a platform of the stage,

1:22:44 I think the lance can find a lot more value here.

1:22:47 Especially because we know now red team likes to go

1:22:49 for this macro play where if there's not a lot of platforms,

1:22:53 Bronx takes that ground of control.

1:22:54 They try to force up blue team [music] members into the sky.

1:22:57 Eth will just take s after s.

1:23:00 I think that's a strategy that can work as we go to Joku.

1:23:03 Yeah, I am very interested to your point in how the lance will operate

1:23:08 cuz it was the highest damage weapon in Frox's kit from the previous game,

1:23:13 but it didn't do all that much.

1:23:14 It only did just over 200 in the last game.

1:23:17 We're seeing uh no platforms and a lot more

1:23:20 cramped of a space here for this stage selection.

1:23:22 So maybe that means we get a couple more scramble situations.

1:23:25 You can kind of mash your buttons

1:23:26 as the Rocket Lines players like to do sometimes.

1:23:28 Uh but we'll have to see.

1:23:30 I I think in a vacuum that this stage benefits blue team

1:23:34 still despite having the lack of platforms just a lot of recovery potential.

1:23:38 We're seeing blue team, especially Plum on Gauntlets.

1:23:41 Love the fish for those.

1:23:43 In my personal experience,

1:23:45 I think those kinds of team comp struggle on this stage.

1:23:48 But again, that's personal experience.

1:23:50 And there we go.

1:23:51 Unfortunately, the first Oh, wonderful work.

1:23:54 Unfortunate is stealing the show, dude.

1:23:57 The fact that we're seeing Vortex again we saw

1:23:59 in a previous matchup he got high what 700 damage almost

1:24:03 800 but plums the flashier player in the stocks has

1:24:07 been such a great dynamic between these two that honestly

1:24:12 even if it's the double KO against the lance

1:24:14 I I I think Vortex and Plum look so confident.

1:24:18 Oh yeah, they're setting the tone for sure.

1:24:20 And I mean even that last game a little bit

1:24:21 more even split in terms of damage between these two.

1:24:24 They're really both pulling their weight so far.

1:24:26 Let's see the stomp off.

1:24:31 Oh, picks up the double.

1:24:32 Actually, the delight kind of just stalls the momentum a little bit.

1:24:36 So, both red team members are able to come back.

1:24:38 I like the vision though from blue to try to get

1:24:40 a little bit more extra sauce out of the jar if he can.

1:24:44 They do get a stock off on Frox.

1:24:47 Off stage is Keith.

1:24:48 Easy pick up.

1:24:49 Cut off all the angles.

1:24:50 And this is the the the mistimed respawn that you

1:24:54 love to see if you're the blue team, right?

1:24:55 They just racked on so much damage on Frox's last stock.

1:24:59 And I just realized too because you're

1:25:01 on a smaller stage with not a lot of leadway,

1:25:03 you're going to we saw this with Keith.

1:25:05 Unfortunately, there's just not enough room for a lot

1:25:08 of these extended signatures to come through.

1:25:10 He got the side off sword out.

1:25:12 Unfortunately, KO'edx not really what you want against your teammate.

1:25:16 A little bit of civil war going on, but again,

1:25:19 there's just not a lot of room to operate.

1:25:21 So when you have bow, you have gauntlets out,

1:25:24 there's a lot of maneuverability and also the lack of team

1:25:27 damage for blue team that is working so well in their favor.

1:25:31 Yeah.

1:25:31 Yeah, for sure.

1:25:32 That was a weird situation also where you like lowkey don't want

1:25:35 to get a double there and then force just a very honest 2v2.

1:25:39 You want to try to force some damage into the ISO again by maybe

1:25:42 picking up the KO on one recovery going to force the issue here.

1:25:46 Meaning it's Frox soon to follow.

1:25:48 There's the disarm.

1:25:49 Can't find the counter hit dive kick.

1:25:50 Sweat beats come online and that is an easy

1:25:53 shark out from Vortex to force tournament point.

1:25:57 One more game.

1:25:58 And you're right.

1:25:58 Then we see Plum and Vortex stealing that 2v2 spring spot away.

1:26:02 Had to see major changes come out from both of red teams.

1:26:05 And I got to say I wanted to see the swap off

1:26:08 of Scarlet as soon as we saw the Chun Lee Kaya come out.

1:26:11 We do get to see that.

1:26:13 Hold on.

1:26:14 Maybe I spoke too soon.

1:26:16 We had chosen legends went to stage select.

1:26:20 Then they back out and they reach chose.

1:26:22 Okay, they picked the same guys again.

1:26:23 So we have Amethyst and Brin coming out.

1:26:26 Bronx on the Brin double axe spears out.

1:26:30 I like this match up against blue team.

1:26:33 I like it a bit more and and it seems like you need to make

1:26:35 a change especially with now a reverse three 0 face down [music] just to reset.

1:26:40 That's not even to win the tournament too.

1:26:41 So it's going to be uphill battle for sure.

1:26:44 I think to your earlier point,

1:26:46 maybe we get something with a little bit more wide of a platform base or a base

1:26:50 platform base just so they have a little bit

1:26:52 more room [music] to work around on the ground.

1:26:55 We're seeing Mishima is still open, so who knows?

1:26:59 Maybe we go western air temple, but I don't think we go western here.

1:27:02 It's going to be in Vortex and Plum's favor.

1:27:04 Nope, we do.

1:27:07 Okay, really.

1:27:08 I mean, they they need to they need to get team combos.

1:27:10 really did not get a lot of team strings with each other.

1:27:13 And I think it's it's maybe overshadowed by the fact

1:27:17 that when Vortex and Plum got their strings,

1:27:19 they were getting a ton of stops at the end of them.

1:27:22 I don't disagree with that.

1:27:23 I I I'm just thinking like the the upwards

1:27:26 momentum you have with Plum and in the sky

1:27:28 taking those 1v one fights and getting

1:27:30 the early KOs on Nishima made them look incredible.

1:27:34 That was the most confident we saw from Vortex and Plum in my opinion.

1:27:38 But I think this stage gives a I I guess you

1:27:42 don't want to go cannon nare could be abusable on Mishima.

1:27:47 Yeah, I mean we'll have to see.

1:27:49 They need some They need some tempo.

1:27:51 So they need to figure something out regardless.

1:27:54 Let's see.

1:27:56 You convince me the convincer.

1:28:00 Oh my gosh.

1:28:02 What?

1:28:02 That's so unfortunate that like Keith won the neutral

1:28:06 exchange and then lost the stock because of it.

1:28:09 That's too bad.

1:28:11 Yeah, this is rough.

1:28:12 And and Keith historically always plays Var.

1:28:14 The fact he has to go into his secondary, two completely different weapons.

1:28:17 I'm not expecting the same heroics that the Bode Bar normally brings out.

1:28:21 Bronx on the Brin.

1:28:22 Again, I think the highlight's going to be

1:28:24 on him right now [music] to really clutch up,

1:28:26 but close signatures from the Brin.

1:28:29 can't really bring those out here in a very

1:28:31 chip heavy matchup like Plum and Vortex have.

1:28:34 So, you really can't pull a stingray here.

1:28:36 You You got to make sure you have enough chip damage of your own.

1:28:39 And is finding value here with the axe.

1:28:42 It's just not as consistent.

1:28:45 It's tough.

1:28:45 I mean, like the the problem is with these sets

1:28:48 is sometimes they go by too quick where you're like,

1:28:50 "Dang, we need to figure something out,

1:28:51 which means a change is almost required for us

1:28:54 to to do that." But you just don't have a lot of runway to be able to learn

1:28:59 and kind of adjust when you're down to zero like this.

1:29:01 Oh, good lord.

1:29:02 Oh my gosh.

1:29:03 It's on potentially elimination stock.

1:29:05 Both players are now.

1:29:08 And there's no sign of them slowing down whatsoever.

1:29:11 Things are going from unfortunately bad for worse for red team.

1:29:15 Yeah, I mean just can't find any momentum.

1:29:17 This is so crazy.

1:29:18 Pogo comes through.

1:29:18 Weapon toss a little bit too uh not shallow enough of an angle.

1:29:22 See the ground pound from a spear come through.

1:29:24 Amethyst brings up the action a little bit, but look at this.

1:29:26 Blue team just relentless on the offstage.

1:29:28 It's four player Bonanza and everyone is going down the bottom blast zone.

1:29:32 Finally, red team does get a little bit of motion right there.

1:29:35 A little bit more sidelight connected to an aerial

1:29:38 and that's got to be the dagger.

1:29:41 Absolutely.

1:29:41 You were you were making Frox Stew over on that last stage

1:29:45 and with now one stock left and not by much hardcore mode, Frox's side.

1:29:49 What can you do?

1:29:50 2v1.

1:29:51 Almost no room left to go.

1:29:52 N is out.

1:29:53 No side air.

1:29:54 Froex no options.

1:29:55 Pog goes down below.

1:29:56 Into the Nether realm we go.

1:29:58 And that's going to be Plum and Vortex taking the 2v2 spring champions.

1:30:05 That was an impressive showing from our team in blue.

1:30:10 Making Frox and Keith,

1:30:12 a team that a lot of us are pretty excited about in this region,

1:30:16 really just wiping them out.

1:30:18 It was that was insane to watch.

1:30:20 Yeah, that was unbelievable, man.

1:30:22 We talked about how great the red team acro has been,

1:30:24 but the fact of the matter is that pleb

1:30:26 and vortex had the best synergy throughout this whole tournament.

1:30:29 They were able to work 1v1's, 2v1's,

1:30:33 2v2s, 2v1's in their own favor extremely well.

1:30:37 There was not a single scen and again our sample

1:30:39 size was pretty small compared to the other games,

1:30:42 but Plum and Vortex, there was never a disadvantageous spot for them.

1:30:46 They always looked like they were in control.

1:30:49 Yeah.

1:30:49 I mean, I just I can't get over how good their team synergy was, right?

1:30:53 And it's not to say that that everyone

1:30:55 else they played today had worse team synergy.

1:30:57 It was just like you you looked so

1:30:59 clean and you were securing so many stocks, right?

1:31:02 And the even all the data, the damage numbers are so reflective of this.

1:31:05 Vortex and Plum were averaging like 550 damage a game, right?

1:31:09 It wasn't like they were just winning like oneoff neutral exchanges,

1:31:12 [music] like getting lucky edge guards or KOs, finding some fast breaks.

1:31:16 They were just straight up outplaying a lot of people throughout that top four.

1:31:20 That was really nice.

1:31:21 No, you're completely right, man.

1:31:22 Plum was the flashy player.

1:31:23 Vortex was there.

1:31:25 Nose to the grindstone.

1:31:26 Getting the damage numbers up.

1:31:28 Vortex almost got getting 800 for a game was wild to me.

1:31:34 But that's Southeast Asia for 2v2s.

1:31:36 And a clean for Vortex and Plum makes me think [music] mid-season.

1:31:40 Makes me think summer.

1:31:42 That is the next season, right?

1:31:44 It's coming out faster than you think.

1:31:46 Mid mid-season for Yeah, mid-season and summer.

1:31:48 It's going to be great.

1:31:49 Yeah, I'm super excited, bro.

1:31:50 And I I think uh I got a lot of good answers.

1:31:52 So, I'm excited to cast with you for the rest of this weekend.

1:31:56 That's an update for you guys at home that me and Keg will be working

1:58:23 It is me TK join with my man Poly.

1:58:25 And I just realized I don't have my lights on.

1:58:26 So Poly, talk to the people real quick while I turn my lights on.

1:58:30 No worries, man.

1:58:31 We're over here in one of my favorite regions uh as of late.

1:58:36 Uh not even as of late, as of last year.

1:58:38 Me.

1:58:40 These guys, they always give us not only some great competition,

1:58:44 but they always give us one heck of a show.

1:58:47 There's so many of the teams and players here that I admire very deeply.

1:58:52 Yeah, I mean, I'm Look,

1:58:53 I this is definitely a region that's starting to grow in me.

1:58:55 I feel like uh you know we we are obviously

1:58:57 here every time we do any of the uh championships.

1:59:00 So we are starting to see a lot more of this region but um it has

1:59:03 definitely got a few of my like a few

1:59:05 a few players I'm definitely keeping an eye

1:59:06 on and I hope that I actually they actually do make their way out to like

1:59:09 a BCX or like a mid-season which is coming up really really soon by the way.

1:59:12 Um so we can see them against the rest of the world's competition.

1:59:16 But before that we got to see who's able

1:59:17 to uh get these W's here in their respective region.

1:59:21 And uh as I join this room I'm definitely ready to get into this action.

1:59:25 Yeah, it is going to be super fun.

1:59:27 Of course, we just came uh from the SEA side of things,

1:59:30 which was also a very uh exciting tournament.

1:59:34 Uh but I'm definitely expecting the I'm

1:59:36 definitely expecting the pace of the game

1:59:38 primarily to be turned up uh as we move over to the to the MEA.

1:59:43 I I I feel like where they are at right now is like pretty similar to what

1:59:47 we were seeing in South South America like

1:59:50 three or four years ago where they were just, you know, that's the wild west.

1:59:54 You don't know what to expect.

1:59:55 They don't follow they don't exactly follow the metas.

1:59:58 Sure.

1:59:58 They're not, you know, the best region right now.

2:00:01 But whenever you watch a tournament in the region,

2:00:04 you always know that it's going to be a treat.

2:00:06 Yeah.

2:00:07 And like I'm looking already at some of the names that I was talking about, man.

2:00:09 FXL is one of those names that I' I I commonly see in the top two,

2:00:14 if not, you know, top three, if not the top two.

2:00:16 But I also want to give a quick shout outs to Marker and Poe.

2:00:19 Man, those are two names that I've definitely starting to uh recognize a lot

2:00:21 more and they've been putting up some good uh games here in the Brawhallosphere.

2:00:26 [music] But uh yeah, we're going to see if they can put up some

2:00:28 better games against it's going to be FXL and Po,

2:00:30 I think, uh versus Cosmi and Marker.

2:00:33 And uh yeah, looks like we have some pretty

2:00:34 standard picks across the board except for I'd say Zul,

2:00:37 but it's not a bad pick by any means.

2:00:39 I mean, you know, all this for [music] you got eight force right here,

2:00:42 five speed right down the middle with these stats and still

2:00:44 going to be uh knocking people way off of this stage.

2:00:47 Pretty good character.

2:00:49 Yeah, I mean, [music] absolutely not a um absolutely not a bad pick whatsoever.

2:00:56 Uh it's what we know and love.

2:00:58 Poor of course the cannon gameplay being

2:01:01 very very exquisite and it's also worth mentioning.

2:01:04 I just have to very quickly double check how

2:01:08 far Pixo and Po have gotten uh in their reign.

2:01:12 Yeah, they have won every single official so far.

2:01:15 If I'm not mistaken,

2:01:15 they've won every single official uh at least uh this year in MEA.

2:01:21 Uh with I believe the autumn championship last year um and also summer

2:01:28 championship last year being perfect tournaments

2:01:30 where they didn't lose a single game.

2:01:32 These guys are dominant and uh only time will tell.

2:01:36 Kazumi and Marker are going to try and challenge them

2:01:38 as we move into our first game in the MEA region here.

2:01:42 Yeah, I had to look at this.

2:01:42 So, I had to look at the uh the actual tournament now.

2:01:45 They have lost one game um at least getting

2:01:48 to this point for the at the start of the top eight,

2:01:51 but you know, I'm sure the rest of those games look pretty dominant.

2:01:53 So, as you said though,

2:01:54 we're going to see if if Marker and uh and make happen here.

2:01:59 Oh, looks like it's not start off like that.

2:02:03 Uh-oh.

2:02:03 Parker in the combo, though.

2:02:05 That's going to be some friendly fire,

2:02:06 but it doesn't look like they're all too faced.

2:02:08 Kazoo is going crazy right now on this lands.

2:02:12 marker on the other side.

2:02:13 Looked like he's trying to put a little uh little a little work there on to Pov.

2:02:17 Ends up getting almost sent out and off the stock right there.

2:02:19 Down light into the uh the N.

2:02:21 Not going to do it enough yet.

2:02:22 Looking for it yet.

2:02:22 One more time.

2:02:24 Ooh, nice team combo.

2:02:25 Not enough to get PO off the screen though,

2:02:27 but it is going to be enough for Fix to show up and take Cosmi out.

2:02:30 Po's going to find a stock here on the right side.

2:02:32 Maybe not yet.

2:02:33 We're looking for that setup.

2:02:34 can't find the setup though but Fixel once again FXL right there

2:02:38 showing right back up and uh even or in taking that stock

2:02:42 there from Cosmic right oh nice combo Po almost able to string

2:02:49 that sideline as well would have been devastating for marker a full stock

2:02:53 lead right now and it's Po still playing very aggressively on this cannon

2:02:56 what is that GCD light do you see these options I hope

2:03:00 I don't sound crazy when I say these guys are this is

2:03:02 literally what SA looked like it for a a couple of years ago.

2:03:07 They're insane.

2:03:08 No, there I believe you.

2:03:09 There's always that like, you know,

2:03:11 bit of uh aggressiveness that we remember uh from South America.

2:03:15 And we're definitely getting chased that here uh in in the Middle East.

2:03:18 So, okay.

2:03:20 Try to go for a big reach.

2:03:21 Try to catch pro jumping all out the corner,

2:03:23 but not going to happen this time around.

2:03:24 However, still just good damage.

2:03:26 Marker all over the place.

2:03:27 Making sure everybody takes these hands right here.

2:03:29 Two two side airs delivered, but got to find out.

2:03:34 Ooh, that's going to be a punish.

2:03:35 Punish for punish.

2:03:36 And that's a way bigger punish for FXL.

2:03:38 Marker trying to get back to the face.

2:03:39 Still living.

2:03:40 Oh no, Kazumi not going to be going down.

2:03:43 He had that DI to be able to get out

2:03:45 of the team combo as he's looking to find his landing here.

2:03:48 Marker is going to go down.

2:03:49 And this is a dangerous situation for Kazumi.

2:03:51 He was being careful, but he throws out that sideline.

2:03:54 He's going to get punished for it all the way down in red here.

2:03:56 And they immediately try to set up two separate one v ones here.

2:04:00 Fixel and Po playing this uh a little bit slower.

2:04:04 Trying to wait this out and see if you catch any mistakes.

2:04:07 That's Kazumi going down on the off stage.

2:04:09 Po and Fixel in the 1v2.

2:04:11 But Marker is very healthy.

2:04:12 Yeah, Marker was definitely looking for a way to try to get down there teammate,

2:04:15 but he saw how far down he was.

2:04:17 Oh, wait.

2:04:18 Yo, he's going crazy.

2:04:19 Okay, maybe a little too crazy right there.

2:04:21 Does manage to get back to the stage without

2:04:23 uh you know getting ground pound or anything like that.

2:04:25 losing uh that stock, but he was sweat beaten.

2:04:28 That could have been imminent doom for going a little too uh ham.

2:04:31 But if he can get this stock off of Fixel,

2:04:34 might not get a chance to even play the game anymore.

2:04:35 No.

2:04:36 What a quick and easy team combo from Po and FXL

2:04:40 as we keep it moving uh into the next game.

2:04:45 You know what?

2:04:46 I'm going to be I'm going to be brave

2:04:47 at TK and I'm going to tell you the the truth,

2:04:49 the wholehearted truth.

2:04:51 I did not realize Po had two stocks.

2:04:53 I thought he had one stock left.

2:04:54 I was like, "Yo, this game this this game

2:04:57 this is really even right now." But no, but Bo was just so far ahead.

2:05:03 How did that happen?

2:05:04 I remember at the start he was super healthy.

2:05:06 But man, he did such a good job killing to clinging to those stocks.

2:05:09 That went under my radar.

2:05:11 No, I mean, honestly, uh if if that was a a 1 v one,

2:05:15 that definitely could have been a much different game.

2:05:18 And if he had gotten that knock off of uh FXL too,

2:05:21 that would have also turned that into a 1 v one pretty quickly.

2:05:23 But unfortunately, it's not what happened.

2:05:26 Speaking of though, hold on.

2:05:27 You see marker.

2:05:29 Yeah.

2:05:29 Trying to trying to put a little pressure on to FXL though,

2:05:32 but Po comes over and make sure that marker doesn't

2:05:34 go to him off the right side of that stage.

2:05:39 See?

2:05:40 Oh, nice.

2:05:41 Not able to catch either with a with a GC sidelight over there.

2:05:46 Man, I think it was actually better that that landed

2:05:48 on the stage for usually I like to see the spike,

2:05:50 but land on the stage was uh was pretty uh

2:05:54 I mean that that actually did give him the stock.

2:05:56 So good stuff there there to marker like perfect spot on that neutral stage.

2:06:02 Get this off picks up a weapon quite quickly though.

2:06:04 And they're doing such a good job at knowing when to uh knowing when to punish.

2:06:08 The one thing that was giving them a very hard time last game

2:06:10 was that they were just getting stuck in a lot of team combos.

2:06:13 Right now there's no team combos for Fixel uh for Fixel or Po.

2:06:17 Marker still able to get back.

2:06:19 He has Marker Pluto though.

2:06:22 Bro, what?

2:06:24 He's doing it all himself.

2:06:25 He's doing it all himself.

2:06:26 He doesn't need any help, bro.

2:06:27 He said a 2v1.

2:06:28 Got those.

2:06:28 You You just sit back and watch this.

2:06:30 Got the double knockout immediately.

2:06:32 FXL put his team back on the map here.

2:06:35 They did lose their stat uh stocks first,

2:06:37 but that's how you make sure this game doesn't get too far away from you.

2:06:41 They poach trying to create a little space

2:06:42 here from FXO to get back to the stage.

2:06:46 I saw that sideline from Kazumi on the lands as well to stop all the momentum.

2:06:49 Very good.

2:06:50 Oh, and Barker just like that right out of the combo

2:06:53 that Kazumi put him and able to string a Po up as well.

2:06:56 Both of them down into red.

2:06:58 But this is the thing, man.

2:06:59 It's not all about the damage.

2:07:00 It's about the knockouts.

2:07:01 That what that's what really matters.

2:07:02 Kazumi, if you're going down all the way here in orange, that would be terrible.

2:07:06 They had such a massive lead and a couple of mistakes.

2:07:09 I mean, just like that.

2:07:10 Pixel and Po had the lead.

2:07:12 Bro, these downs have been so on point here for Po.

2:07:17 Seen so many GC down lightning going get these stocks.

2:07:21 Oh, okay.

2:07:22 Look at Wow.

2:07:23 Okay, we are going for we are going for it right now.

2:07:25 Tries to get everything or tries to get so

2:07:28 many options right there to actually take that stock.

2:07:29 But unfortunately, he's going to be uh losing his stock to Marcus Enlight.

2:07:34 They still have a good lead here.

2:07:35 The red team has been able to put themselves back

2:07:37 uh in front off of that like crazy second stop.

2:07:44 Kazumi able to stay safe as we're stuck in a momentary 1v2.

2:07:48 Marker gets thrown off and Fix actually going for the full on off stage.

2:07:53 Okay, allowing Kazumi to get get a little bit of an opening there.

2:07:56 Great job by by Kazumi realizing that Fixel was tunnel visioning.

2:07:59 He was able to create some space there, but nonetheless,

2:08:03 both now in the reds and they're struggling to find the stage control.

2:08:08 Oh, okay.

2:08:08 Yeah, going to get scooped out.

2:08:09 That delight or down air going to go ahead and do it now.

2:08:12 A delight uh sir pushing.

2:08:15 Oh, Kazumi actually does get uh the dodge back in time.

2:08:17 Got to watch your dome, but jumps too high into the down sig.

2:08:22 The classic right there, especially with that small wall in that stage.

2:08:26 Yeah, kind of hard to be able to position yourself to make

2:08:28 sure you stay under it while also uh not slipping off the walls.

2:08:32 So, good catch.

2:08:34 Good catch, Po.

2:08:36 Very very nice indeed.

2:08:38 Now, I I'm going to I'm I'm going to do the whole like

2:08:41 uh caster trying to understand pro gameplay thing and say that Pixel and Po,

2:08:46 it feels like but both Kazumi, Marker, Fixel, Po, all of these players

2:08:50 like in this in their individual interactions,

2:08:52 these guys are all crazy like at at similar levels of crazy as well.

2:08:57 So, it feels like it should be a lot more even.

2:09:00 But Pixel and Po are able to take so much more control of the game.

2:09:03 like whenever they get stage control,

2:09:06 it's like Kazumi and Marker are gonna have to trade

2:09:08 50 damage just to go back to trading again.

2:09:12 Yeah, it's it it has not been looking

2:09:13 like the greatest here for uh Kazumi and Marker.

2:09:16 And I do believe that like yeah,

2:09:17 there's like just a lot more power uh on the side of uh the red team that yeah,

2:09:22 if they're if they're just going for blow trade for trade,

2:09:24 it's never going to go in their favor.

2:09:29 Okay, right now we got the back presumably

2:09:34 trying to hold the center stage right now.

2:09:35 And oh, almost got the stock pretty early here from Marker.

2:09:38 Marker trying to get that sideline recovery.

2:09:40 Oh.

2:09:41 Oh man.

2:09:42 Little too late on the on the side uh air would have been able

2:09:45 to maybe turn that into at least a very very disadvantageous position for Po.

2:09:50 But speaking of red team once again down save coming in from pixel.

2:09:55 Oh kind of saving.

2:09:57 That's interesting.

2:09:58 Works.

2:09:59 Yeah.

2:10:00 Saved them.

2:10:01 Doing the s in the other direction would have been way better.

2:10:03 Sometimes you're a little bit too too fast on the pre-fire.

2:10:12 Okay.

2:10:13 Off to the right side.

2:10:15 Cosmo going to be able to make it back for free.

2:10:16 Nobody looking at him.

2:10:17 Gets right back in the action though.

2:10:18 tries to get a side light but nothing off of it.

2:10:21 Oh yeah, unfortunate.

2:10:23 Wait a minute.

2:10:24 Can't save his partner but Oh,

2:10:26 and almost being able to turn that into a stock too.

2:10:29 But now Oh my god, don't they miss the combo.

2:10:31 That could have been a huge a huge play for the blue team.

2:10:34 This is so back and forth.

2:10:36 We're seeing like even if someone does a quote unquote fumble,

2:10:41 the the opposing the opposing team always are able to punish it.

2:10:45 And then, okay, you fumbled the proto at like the third

2:10:47 hit because you weren't able to finish the full team combo.

2:10:50 Okay, how the turntables turntable.

2:10:52 We go back again.

2:10:54 Ground.

2:10:55 I think I I I believe the idea was to hit each other under the stage,

2:10:59 but there just was not enough momentum for marker to get over there.

2:11:03 So then Cosmi is like, I can't make it.

2:11:07 And he puts himself in a terrible position to get immediately ground pounded.

2:11:10 That's unfortunate right there for the team.

2:11:13 Only one thing that puts them too far down.

2:11:17 Yeah, Po almost got obliterated off the top of the screen.

2:11:20 That was insane.

2:11:21 Marker and Kazumi now in a quick 1 v2.

2:11:24 And Po, the absolute madman, starts throwing out moves in neutral.

2:11:27 I mean, if you're Po,

2:11:28 you can do stuff like that because you just know your I mean,

2:11:31 your hits are going to land.

2:11:32 There's no problem.

2:11:33 Just put yourself out there.

2:11:35 Okay.

2:11:35 I was wondering who how they were going to take the stock.

2:11:37 It's now up to Pixel.

2:11:38 And I do believe that shouldn't be the game right there.

2:11:41 The ground pound is not going to be enough.

2:11:42 Pixel makes it back.

2:11:44 No way.

2:11:45 Okay.

2:11:45 I was like, no way he's getting this W right now.

2:11:48 But now they're going to be able to close that out.

2:11:51 Uh definitely a lot of um craziness in that game.

2:11:55 I mean, there was a a DIG on the left side

2:11:57 that like definitely um kept the blue team in the mix.

2:12:00 If you looked at the, you know, the damage numbers,

2:12:02 obviously, they definitely got outdamaged by a large margin,

2:12:05 but that definitely means they got some very good uh or very

2:12:08 opportune stocks uh takes to be able to still take this game.

2:12:13 Yeah, I mean this is just this is just an experience [laughter] right now.

2:12:20 These of all of these guys watching watching

2:12:22 them play with each other against each other.

2:12:26 It is um wow ground pound comes out.

2:12:29 Fixo already down into orange.

2:12:34 No way.

2:12:35 They immediately go for another team combo.

2:12:37 say the one thing that separates uh Po and Fix

2:12:40 or actually the two things is control and their team combos.

2:12:44 And just like that, last game we were seeing great control.

2:12:46 This time around we're seeing great team combos, but Fixel and Po,

2:12:49 they're still able to make it work out

2:12:51 with their great interactions because losing their first Sock

2:12:55 and Marker very close on that off stage

2:12:58 as well that Dig almost gets the stock too.

2:13:00 Yeah, unfortunately Marker was the one who set that up.

2:13:02 He was going for that, you know, errant or, you know, errant uh instig.

2:13:07 And because of that, you know,

2:13:08 he landed right in front of Po who was ready to go ahead

2:13:09 and grab it with his own uh down sig or instig call it.

2:13:13 Good stuff though for the double knockout.

2:13:15 Making sure they can't this game does not get too far away from them.

2:13:18 Cosmic the only person really hurt his stock and that's barely.

2:13:23 Nice interrupt.

2:13:24 Interrupt interrupt there.

2:13:27 Blue team trying to get a team combo started to find anything.

2:13:31 Now Kazumi yet again stock on the off stage just like that.

2:13:34 What I' what I've been telling you.

2:13:35 Kazumi use off stage.

2:13:36 Markers on the soft platform and just like that he's lost

2:13:39 a stock cuz they were able to push both of them off stage.

2:13:41 Now Fixel is setting up for an edge guard.

2:13:43 Fixel and Po I mean look stage control in this game it don't really matter.

2:13:49 It really only matters if your opponents make it matter.

2:13:52 And that's what Fixel and Po are doing right now.

2:13:54 Absolutely.

2:13:55 Also man, I got to give it up to uh Fix.

2:13:57 He was willing to, you know, the the weapon toss came up.

2:13:59 He's like, I'm not literally not afraid of that.

2:14:01 I can just go under it and caught the perfect punish from that side uh Sig,

2:14:05 but now he is slinging some Sigs out right now.

2:14:08 Just trying to catch.

2:14:08 Oh yeah, good catch.

2:14:11 Can't believe I don't do not think he's going to be able to make that back.

2:14:13 And yeah, just immediately sneaking under him twice.

2:14:16 Double recovery for the stock for the game.

2:14:19 We're going to keep it moving.

2:14:20 FXL and Pog taking it to the grand finals.

2:14:24 I'm I'm so sorry for ever doubting Fixo and Po.

2:14:27 I guess I I guess this is what we get.

2:14:31 Wow, what a game.

2:14:34 It was towards the end they just completely blew up, man.

2:14:38 Yeah.

2:14:38 Yeah.

2:14:39 I mean, look at all these replays.

2:14:40 It is uh I'm going to slow over here.

2:14:42 Look on the side real quick.

2:14:43 But yeah, all these replays, man, you're going to see some crazy plays from FXL.

2:14:46 He he definitely put the team on his back

2:14:48 uh for a quick second in that last 10 seconds, but for the most part, I think,

2:14:52 you know, they're they're they're trading back and forth.

2:14:54 Po is in a lot of good spots to get these follow-ups.

2:14:57 Uh FXL has been setting up a lot of uh of major plays.

2:15:02 He's also just the both of them just fearless off off the uh stage, though.

2:15:05 So, these edge guards are like some of the scariest parts of the game,

2:15:09 I think, for Cosmia and Marker.

2:15:10 They just did not have the the answers to it this time around.

2:15:14 But, you know, maybe they're able to make it back

2:15:15 through on the lower side of things into a rematch.

2:15:19 Yeah.

2:15:19 And Marco and Kazumi being uh a newly formed team here

2:15:24 in 2026 definitely seems as they as if they found their perfect teammates.

2:15:30 PR11 and PR14.

2:15:32 This game play doesn't definitely doesn't smell double digit PR.

2:15:35 And uh the one tournament they played in, they

2:15:38 got second going down to Po and Fixel twice.

2:15:41 So, uh, we're going to have to wait until, uh,

2:15:44 eliminations finals to see if maybe, uh,

2:15:47 they will get a chance to redeem themselves.

2:15:48 But before we do any of that, uh, we have, of course, another set.

2:15:53 And, uh, I'm looking a lot of these, uh,

2:15:55 I'm looking at a lot of these in-game names.

2:15:57 I'm not sure if some of them are changed because at the very moment,

2:16:00 there's only really, uh, two names here that I recognize.

2:16:04 It's uh uh Comr and Yellow Flash,

2:16:07 but we also have Knight Walker and Riseox in the lobby.

2:16:12 So, potentially an uh upcoming team that I may not be too familiar with.

2:16:16 Uh Comr and Yellow Flash, however, of course, both [music]

2:16:20 uh playing quite well in both uh game modes last year in the MEA side of things,

2:16:25 especially Comr in the 1 v1 side of things.

2:16:28 had a great year uh for the de debut year

2:16:31 of uh MEA and um very strong in 2v2 as well.

2:16:35 All right.

2:16:36 Well, see how this one uh plays out, man.

2:16:38 I want, you know, as I said,

2:16:39 most of the people that I know on this on that screen were just on the screen,

2:16:42 so there's going to be some uh relatively fresh names uh for me,

2:16:45 but I am seeing some uh relatively safe picks here.

2:16:48 You know, we got the Tescasa back out in the building.

2:16:50 We got double Wooang, and then we have Oram.

2:16:53 all characters that are are quite popular here in the uh the Brawhall universe.

2:16:58 But yeah, now now that was a lot of talking without a lot of gameplay,

2:17:04 and I'm sorry, but it's going to have to be that way for a while.

2:17:06 We're waiting right now for the elimination side to finish up.

2:17:09 Uh so we unfortunately we have to take a short break.

2:17:12 We're going to be back uh as soon as we have more matches ready for you guys.

2:17:17 Uh so make sure you don't go anywhere and we'll catch you in just a bit.

2:17:47 [music] I'm rising up on the ground.

2:17:50 Keep climbing [music] till I reach the clouds.

2:18:01 I dream of you.

2:18:12 [music] I'm not alone anymore.

2:18:21 I love you.

2:18:34 [music] Even [music] I'm not alone anymore.

2:18:53 [music] [music] I'm not alone anymore.

2:19:13 [music] I'm ready.

2:19:26 I'm ready.

2:19:28 I'm ready.

2:19:29 I'm ready.

2:19:31 I'm ready.

2:19:32 I'm ready.

2:19:34 Are you ready?

2:19:36 Guess you thought that [music] I'd be wiped out.

2:19:39 Sat alone with the lights out crying every [music] night for you.

2:19:45 Breaking myself into [music] Guess you thought that I'd be on my knees.

2:19:51 Put up a fight.

2:19:53 Working on my trying to get back to you.

2:19:58 Guess you [music] didn't have a clue.

2:20:00 I've been watching you from afar.

2:20:03 Test [music] my patience.

2:20:05 Play with my heart.

2:20:06 I've connected all of the dots.

2:20:09 [music] I'm already gone.

2:20:14 I've been ready.

2:20:15 Waiting for the fall.

2:20:17 Got early.

2:20:20 [music] I've been ready.

2:20:22 Ready all along.

2:20:23 Are you ready?

2:20:25 I'm ready.

2:20:27 I've been ready.

2:20:28 Waiting for the fall.

2:20:30 Got there early [music] and ready.

2:20:34 Ready all along.

2:20:36 Are you ready?

2:20:38 I'm ready.

2:20:39 [music]

2:20:45 And we're back at it.

2:20:46 We're holiday warriors.

2:20:46 We [music] got to get into more of these mad business.

2:20:50 As you saw on the screen earlier, I don't know,

2:20:52 well, I don't know if you saw, but we saw it.

2:20:54 We got Riseox, Nightwalker, Yellow Flash,

2:20:56 and Comr all about to head up against each other.

2:20:58 I'm TK Breezy joining again with my man Pley.

2:21:00 Poly, as you were telling me earlier, this is one of your favorite regions.

2:21:04 So, how you feeling about this next match?

2:21:06 I'm feeling very good about this next match.

2:21:08 Uh Comr and Yellow Flash are familiar names uh to me.

2:21:12 Uh we got to see them a lot uh last year.

2:21:16 Ryox and Nightwalker are wild cards for me.

2:21:18 I I went on ahead and I looked very quickly.

2:21:21 Uh they got 17 in the last tournament.

2:21:24 So massive leap in terms of placement this time around.

2:21:27 Congrats thus far, but they are of course trying to push it

2:21:31 even further going up against some of the hardened veterans of the region.

2:21:34 Let's see what they're able to do.

2:21:40 All right.

2:21:45 Oh, okay.

2:21:46 I went way high up for it real quick trying to get a nice uh catch at the top.

2:21:50 Not going to happen this time around.

2:21:53 Yeah, let's try to keep Okay, that's not that's not okay.

2:21:56 Yellow flash.

2:21:56 I mean, it happens.

2:21:58 Very unfortunate team combo getting comboed into team comboing teammate,

2:22:02 but I mean we just recover from those.

2:22:04 I guess that's a first strike with the down sig.

2:22:06 Quick team conversion, but they're not able to get that stock.

2:22:09 Actually scratched that comr going all the way

2:22:11 up to the top to get that second knockout.

2:22:15 Yeah, like I said, no waste of time.
