14:21 Come on.
14:28 And now with 30 seconds to play, the Heritage stops to stay alive.
14:30 This is a kill mission now for Mamba.
14:32 He must find this kill or the round is lost.
14:34 The plant will happen.
14:36 THE CHECK.
14:39 OH MY GOD.
14:40 JONAS SAVES.

14:45 Who's able TO LINE UP FOUR in a row?
14:47 Fired for three and fired to call the game.
14:55 Listen.
14:56 Where am I looking here?
14:58 It's Mother's Day, all right?
15:00 Call your moms, all right?
15:02 And maybe [music] I'll call them, too.
15:11 Reminder, if your mom is an empty [music] nester, maybe you're in high school,
15:15 all she wants is to spend time with you tonight.
15:17 If she has youngsters, [music] all she wants is alone time.
15:20 Happy Mother's Day to all the people who brought us into the world and all
15:24 of our production [music] crew showing their love
15:26 behind the scenes on the big wall.
15:27 We've got Nameless Rosalie Puckett here in the studio
15:30 and I want to start with you, Ant, and soon-to-be dad.
15:33 How is your first Mother's Day feeling?
15:35 It was great.
15:36 Little walk, made the wife some breakfast, beautiful day.
15:39 Shout out to all the moms that watch.
15:40 You know, it's a great time and a great day to celebrate the mamas.
15:43 Uh Rosalie, I hear your mother is coming to DreamHack Atlanta.
15:46 Are you excited to see her?
15:47 yes.
15:47 I'm so excited to see my mom and dad.
15:49 I have some other family joining as well,
15:51 so I'll be able to get some spend some time with her in person.
15:53 And real talk, Crib Six will call your mom if you haven't yet.
15:56 So, let's take a look at your standings as we jump into today.
15:59 It's going to be a busy one as you [music] have OpTic,
16:02 the only five and oh team.
16:04 There are now three teams at three and [music] one.
16:07 You have two teams finished at three and two and two finished at two and three.
16:11 For squads [music] like G2 and Heretics, you want to join that two-three bubble,
16:15 it can get mixy and every [music] map matters.
16:19 So, as we jump into the schedule today and we take a look at our bracket,
16:22 Ally, what are you excited for here?
16:25 Well, when we get to look at it.
16:27 Okay, here we go.
16:28 Um These are potential groups.
16:29 So, OpTic would be the first seed in the top left.
16:31 [music] I mean, I'm thinking the Omen versus OpTic, I mean,
16:34 that's a really tough pull if you get that in your round one,
16:36 but also a lot of opportunity for an upset there.
16:40 Yeah, you know, looking at some of these groups,
16:41 it'd be interesting how it shakes out.
16:43 You look at the bottom right [music] one, you see Gentlemen's and FaZe.
16:46 That's kind of an easier one with C9 there.
16:48 Huntsmen, a team everybody's going to be looking out
16:49 for, thinking they could be in OpTic's [music] group.
16:51 That no longer looks like it's exactly going to be possible,
16:54 but hey, we'll be following the Challenger team stories.
16:56 That's what this event is about for me
16:58 to see who can cause upsets in the group stages.
17:00 I think we're going to see a couple.
17:02 Rock Esports against Gentlemen's is actually
17:05 really interesting opening round for the Gentlemen's.
17:08 They've struggled, they struggled against Miami.
17:10 Anyway, it's time for burgers and fries as we jump into some
17:13 of the best mips and it starts with the bang outs.
17:17 Are we calling this fries?
17:18 I think it was pretty darn entertaining.
17:20 It depends on what side of the the coin you're on, I guess.
17:22 But I think it's bang out.
17:23 I love it.
17:24 I love flowers.
17:24 This is totally a fry.
17:25 Round over, 9 seconds, 10 seconds, 11 seconds.
17:29 So, I mean, we had some wild bang outs in here.
17:32 Teams learning the tech.
17:33 You saw O4 jump onto the bomb up top
17:35 to the bar and High Voltage drag everybody's auto aim.
17:38 Beautiful plays.
17:39 Definitely a fry.
17:40 What's the fastest ace in the CDL?
17:41 Well, that belongs to this young Spaniard.
17:43 Metals from the Heritage takes John and walks out with four three seconds later.
17:49 Look at that.
17:49 He's wall jumping.
17:50 He's like, "They're not going to expect this angle." Yeah,
17:52 this is jetpack coverage.
17:54 LOOK AT THIS CLOCK.
17:55 Production is on fire today.
17:58 Well done.
17:59 As we take a look at the next one, it's a dunk.
18:03 Or is it?
18:03 Simp, you already know it's a fry, right?
18:06 This got to be some red card.
18:08 Is this a respawn?
18:09 This is a respawn, my my friend.
18:11 Hey, yo.
18:12 Burger.
18:12 That's true.
18:13 What is that?
18:14 OH, MAN.
18:14 OH.
18:16 I mean, you could just tell right after like O5 one and you're throwing smoke?
18:20 Right when they do it, they just start panicking.
18:21 Their player came in swinging like, "Oh, crap.
18:24 Oh, crap." I mean But we can know it's like accidental, right?
18:26 Yo, look at this.
18:27 Watch this.
18:27 From the top ropes.
18:29 This is A FRY.
18:34 LIKE VINCE CARTER, BRO.
18:35 LIKE THAT WAS INSANE, BRO.
18:36 EXCEED.
18:38 How's it smell down there?
18:42 Yeah, that's going on the wall right there.
18:43 That's [screaming] a posterize.
18:45 As good as that one was from Neil, they had some bad game plans as well, fam.
18:51 Is this another smoke play?
18:57 Wait for the nades and run at them.
18:58 Yeah, let's wait for these nades.
18:59 Let's see what happens.
19:02 [laughter] Nades.
19:01 Goodbye.
19:03 I mean, technically they did wait for the nades.
19:05 I mean, they caught him, literally.
19:10 [laughter] Uh, so that wasn't the best call.
19:11 Purge though, IGL of Boston.
19:14 This might be a fry.
19:16 That one wasn't it, but this one was.
19:18 Yeah, there's the Purge we know.
19:23 Yo, Purge actually popped taking that last map.
19:25 Yeah, he did.
19:26 Some huge round two plays, one V two.
19:30 We got to show him some love cuz he's been getting dragged for a while.
19:32 He's been playing well.
19:33 past two three matches, right?
19:34 Yes, and I know somebody getting fried.
19:37 Wow.
19:38 What do you mean by that?
19:38 OG Al.
19:40 Oh my god, dude, this is I would have thought there were so many hair stages.
19:44 [music] Yo, happy birthday.
19:45 Happy yeah, my birthday's tomorrow.
19:47 Thanks, guys.
19:48 She's officially I'm my mom's Mother's Day present.
19:51 What is What is the era right now?
19:53 She's an auntie.
19:53 Um I feel like the more mature Yeah, yeah, aunt's got it.
19:57 We talked about it.
19:58 I'm an aunt now.
19:59 I'm going to grow plants and stuff.
20:01 I'm going to have a cottage in the woods.
20:02 She said late 20s yesterday, but she's still mid 20s.
20:05 Uh let's take a look at today's schedule.
20:07 We got three matches and if it's anything like yesterday,
20:09 it will include 15 [music] maps.
20:11 Heretics versus Gentlemen's G2 LA Thieves,
20:15 Cloud9 versus Coyl for the teams [music] on your right
20:18 all sitting at three and one looking to finish strong.
20:21 We come back, we find out can Miami draw blood?
20:24 Are they going to finish one and four after looking great in the minor?
20:28 Gentlemen's take the stage when WE COME BACK.
20:34 [screaming]
20:56 MAJOR THREE IS GOING TO BE A CLASSIC.
20:58 Four challenger teams are taking on the 12
21:00 pro teams bringing non-stop action to the ATL.
21:04 Get [music] your tickets before they sell out at dreamhack.com/Atlanta.
21:09 [music] Brought to you by America's Navy and the special
21:13 operators [music] who work in the shadows.
21:16 Start the season strong with the 2026 Call of Duty League Pack.
21:20 Grab yourself the CDL operator by scanning the QR code on screen
21:25 or check it [music] out in the Call of Duty store in game now.
21:28 SCUF, official controller of the CDL.
21:37 [music] Let's find out who's built for the big stage.
22:35 Ready to dive in?
22:36 Thanks, too.
22:37 Four and Snoopy.
22:38 I want them all.
22:40 But Hydra with the switch.
22:41 He's making top route.
22:43 Joe Deevo happy.
22:45 It's Onyx.
22:46 Don, the Boozer.
22:49 Dominance.
22:51 On the grandest stage.
22:59 [snorts] 12.
23:08 [music] It's Spain versus France as we have the Miami Heretics taking
23:26 on the [music] Paris Gentlemen mates and this could be a good one.
23:29 Miami looking ferocious during the minor.
23:32 Not so much [music] the case in the qualifier.
23:36 But now he's as we take a look at the numbers,
23:38 it's three wins [music] to Gentlemen mates,
23:39 one win to Miami over time, but Miami had the better KD.
23:44 How do you start taking more maps?
23:47 How much tied on side Gentlemen mates versus Heretic?
23:50 Well, uh map ones it's 4-0 for Gentlemen mates.
23:53 Right.
23:53 SNDs it's 4-0 for Miami.
23:55 Well, so on side Miami Heretics they are just
23:57 the stronger SND team in this match up in general.
24:00 Um more time on Miami Heretics than they were at right now.
24:02 I was really riding high on them.
24:04 Their hardpoint looked incredible.
24:05 Their pace, this whole meta really fit them.
24:07 And then they had that loss to G2.
24:09 So now I'm kind of in a spot where it's
24:11 like Miami might be having a lot of match up tips.
24:13 Like they might be just incredible versus Atlanta and maybe
24:16 finding some struggles versus teams like the Gentlemen mates, like G2.
24:19 Do you think it's a match up issue or what's going on with Miami?
24:22 Well, Gentlemen mates start off the season just way better than them, right?
24:24 Miami couldn't catch up.
24:25 And when they played in the minor, Miami beat them and they beat them on one
24:28 of their best maps in the Colossus hardpoint.
24:30 I would say I think teams are starting to game
24:31 plan specifically for Miami a little bit better as of late.
24:34 Yeah, and they've dropped a couple of series.
24:36 I still think that they're a great team,
24:37 but I think both these teams are kind in the same boat, right?
24:40 On one end you got a really dominant Search
24:42 and Destroy team that can show flashes of respawn prowess.
24:45 And on the other end it's the Gentlemen [music] mates
24:47 who have been unbelievable on hardpoint despite like them losing series.
24:50 Their hardpoint has still been good.
24:52 And in this particular match up, Gentlemen mates are 7-1 against them in HP.
24:56 So really Exactly.
24:58 So tell the tapes easy.
24:59 You look at Miami and it's like okay, if you could still NHB here,
25:02 you got a great chance of winning
25:03 the series vice versa for gentlemen with the S&D.
25:05 Who has the higher ceiling?
25:08 Yeah, I mean it's you probably go
25:10 gentlemen because they won the first major, right?
25:12 And they obviously have more accomplished Call of Duty players, but yeah,
25:15 I mean in terms of pace of play in this title,
25:17 we've seen Miami play at a super high level online as well.
25:20 So, I'll go with gentlemen, but Miami can play on that level.
25:23 say I don't know if I could pick if I got asked that.
25:24 I see even when it comes to the ceiling it's all about consistency though.
25:29 And [music] if you're looking for someone
25:30 who's got consistent numbers, it's Dan Ghosty.
25:32 He did have an off map [music] for his most recent
25:35 match up everyone's going to remember with that recent see bias,
25:38 but the season on a whole pretty good for Dan.
25:41 Major one great for the squad where they at going into major three.
25:45 Kicking themselves kind of in the shin a little bit here.
25:47 They're fantastic respawn team.
25:49 It sucks because they've really not been winning [music] their map ones recently
25:52 and some of the hard points that they're losing are just nail biters.
25:55 So, within 50 points they're just not closing out like they used
25:57 to and their biggest problem for me right now is search and [music] destroy.
26:01 With this new meta and the new maps,
26:03 they just haven't found a new map to add to their map
26:06 pool given the ones that were added and it's really hurting them
26:09 in a lot of these series and they need to be able
26:11 to add something and now as we look at the match modes,
26:13 I mean you're going to put Paws up and Fringe in the series,
26:15 but gentlemen are 0 and 1 on Paws up right now and Fringe 0 and 2.
26:18 So, again Paws up was not [music] even close like nothing.
26:23 They showed us nothing on that map and then the Fringe they've been 0 and 2 on.
26:26 So, we're really going to get a good barometer for where
26:29 they're at if we go the distance in this series.
26:31 I think one of the keys in the monster winner's bracket or monster free game
26:35 was that we will see [music] a potential
26:37 number two seed up for grabs for gentlemen.
26:39 Yeah, your 3-0 from Optic beat down kind of hurt your odds.
26:43 So, now you're looking to finish strong.
26:45 You don't just want a 3-1 to 3-2.
26:47 [music] You're looking for a clean 3-0.
26:49 Can you get that done knowing that Paws up is in the mix Ali?
26:53 Uh no, and I don't think on either side actually because then I
26:55 look at the respawns in this series for Miami and they're not great.
26:58 You give them Colossus which is one
26:59 of Gentlemen's best hard points in general and then
27:02 you have I think it was Saug
27:03 in this series and Miami haven't found success there.
27:06 So they kind of got good maps in the sense of [music] S&D that's going
27:09 to play to Gentlemen's weaknesses but the hard
27:10 points are going to play to their strength.
27:11 We've seen Miami look great on both those maps
27:14 but they're just wildly inconsistent on them, right?
27:16 So it's it's really hard to come in and say like Miami
27:19 are going to take one of the one of those hard points.
27:21 Well, who would like to go first?
27:22 You're still tied, aren't you?
27:24 Let's take a look here.
27:24 Oh, this might be the one.
27:26 It is time.
27:27 Ali, start things off here as our leading champion.
27:30 This actually is a pretty confident
27:32 Gentlemen's pick especially with that map set.
27:34 I think they handle it here.
27:35 How many maps?
27:36 I think we go four.
27:37 Four.
27:38 Game five super pops take in diffs nonchalante in game five.
27:44 I got Miami.
27:45 Not nonchalante.
27:46 I picked Miami last time and G2 bit them.
27:49 Similar colors as G2.
27:51 [laughter] I love your dog.
27:52 Going with Paris Gentlemen's today.
27:54 Paris getting things right before the major.
27:57 They're in contention for the number two seed.
27:59 Miami, they don't really have a whole lot to play for here.
28:02 We got Miles a chance on the mic.
28:05 Hello friends.
28:05 Happy Wednesday.
28:06 What time we have ahead of us?
28:08 Gosh, I still Chance, I'm still viciously disappointed that C9 didn't
28:14 get us to a game five last night.
28:16 I know the chat is as well.
28:18 How do you feel about it?
28:19 It's still Still my heart.
28:20 Still my heart.
28:21 It's laying heavy on me, man.
28:22 I'm just saying.
28:23 I'll lock in in a minute but until then I need to know how you feel.
28:26 I mean, you know, I had a a therapy appointment last night
28:29 just to be able to sort of decompress from this exact situation.
28:32 So I'm a little bit upset that you're sort
28:34 of re-tearing at these old wounds for robbing [music] us
28:37 of the the game five but maybe these two teams
28:39 will give us one and maybe Nameless' prediction will be correct.
28:42 [music] So I'm going to have to flex out and go back to my journal.
28:45 Just give me a minute and we'll be good.
28:46 Yep, that's fine.
28:47 Absolutely fine.
28:47 [music] Well, locking back in, ladies and gentlemen,
28:50 the round 2 83 has been an interesting one
28:52 indeed and a very interesting one for the Heretics.
28:54 The desk touched upon it,
28:55 but a one and three record for a squad that has shown so much promise,
29:01 so [music] much potential, and the gentlemen mates with a slow but steady return
29:05 to maybe not that top major one winning [music] form,
29:08 but we're getting shot like shines of it.
29:11 We're getting little glimmers,
29:13 a crack every now and then in the curtain and the veil of mediocrity.
29:18 The brilliance is in there.
29:20 Are we going to get it this series?
29:21 Maybe not, cuz Envoy just left.
29:22 He's out.
29:22 See you guys.
29:22 See you later, boys.
29:23 They're taking rounds.
29:24 It's the objective players that want to, you know, get water for the team.
29:27 They're just getting prepped out, you know.
29:29 Yeah, smarts.
29:30 Heretics ready to rock and roll.
29:31 And [music] they're going to need it as well.
29:32 Heretics has been such an impressive player
29:34 to watch since he joined the league and again [music]
29:36 has been instrumental in so many of these magical Miami Heretics moments.
29:41 Rostered rookie of the year last season alongside Super.
29:44 Let's be honest.
29:45 They kind of shared it.
29:46 These boys are chilling big.
29:48 But Charles, this split, I mean, one and three is a shock to me.
29:51 It is genuinely a surprise to me.
29:52 This team has been the bee's knees online.
29:55 They're not necessarily on LAN, but what's going on with them this season?
29:59 I you know, maybe some reverse juju stuff as well,
30:02 cuz like in the the what is it?
30:04 The minor that we had, the online tournament, they looked phenomenal.
30:07 They got to a grand final.
30:09 They're playing incredible Call of Duty at like the absolute top level.
30:12 Maybe they realized that all the online
30:13 success they've had has not translated to LAN.
30:16 So let's have a lack of success online
30:18 and then they're going to pop off at Atlanta.
30:20 So maybe some reverse jinx stuff,
30:22 but I think ultimately just a few key struggles.
30:25 Like they've been a good team, but not a great team.
30:27 They've also been like trying new stuff.
30:29 Like Super with the MPC has absolutely changed the dynamic of the team.
30:34 And while he has individually seen a ton of success, the team hasn't.
30:38 Maybe you're going to have to start making some
30:39 of these adjustments in the maps that we have, at least to kick off the series,
30:43 I think are going to answer these questions very early on.
30:46 Colossus seen four MPCs quite frequently from this squad, at least as of recent.
30:51 Are they going to stay on pace, or are they going to mix it up?
30:53 We got a Plaza SND, very much a heavy bang out,
30:57 super again with the MPC constantly.
30:59 Individual success but the team not so much, and on the flip side,
31:02 well, the SND is going to be extremely important for this squad as well.
31:06 Lost four of their last five in that game mode,
31:09 and they have a much better record.
31:11 I think this is like a a very easy to identify issue of like
31:14 if they can bring their search together come Atlanta in just a week's time,
31:18 they're absolutely going to be a force to be reckoned with.
31:21 If their SND remains poor, you're just not going to have success on that.
31:24 Tough, really really tough.
31:26 Uh there's some highlights there from the OpTic Texas match,
31:28 which did not go the way of the Gentlemen.
31:30 It was a very very tough showing against the top dog,
31:34 which is again [music] what you want.
31:35 You're talking about being contest for at least a win.
31:37 I mean, if these boys aren't able to bring it against OpTic online,
31:40 that's a a bad sign, obviously.
31:42 This is what the bracket looks like right now if the major were to start today.
31:47 Rock [music] will be the team taking on the Gentlemen.
31:49 They're in group D.
31:51 Obviously, things can still change.
31:53 Gentlemen are still able to change [music] their standing with a victory today,
31:57 as are the boys of the Miami Heretics.
32:00 As we get uh you know,
32:01 under the microscope group A, a very very spicy place to find yourselves.
32:06 Oh man, going up against OpTic at this moment in time.
32:09 Carolina [music] Ravens G2.
32:11 Uh Charles, what do you make of these matchups?
32:13 Well, I think it's fun because both Carolina
32:15 and G2 have been like very dangerous teams, but also not overly clean.
32:20 Like G2 will have a good win, complete a reverse sweep,
32:22 and then lose to a team that you'd imagine to be worse competition.
32:26 And then Carolina, I think the fans don't necessarily have the highest
32:29 expectations for, but they've been playing
32:31 really good teams in tight game fives, like a game five round 11 against FaZe
32:36 right off the back of them winning the major.
32:38 Another game five just the other day.
32:40 So, I think Carolina very much a formidable threat.
32:43 So is G2.
32:45 Optic obviously expect to be the top dogs,
32:47 but you know, that's just like that's a fun battleground.
32:50 That is very difficult to predict, very tough to expect anything.
32:54 Whether or not that challenger team is going to be able to do any damage?
32:57 Possibly, yes.
32:58 So, I think this is a group of endless possibilities.
33:02 that.
33:02 Well, endless possibilities over to group B now.
33:04 Will this be the same?
33:06 So many of our teams have had a bit of a rough run.
33:09 Toronto Ultra going up against the Huntsmen first and foremost.
33:13 [music] That is a spicy one, man.
33:14 I mean, the Huntsmen have caused a lot of noise.
33:16 I'm thoroughly enjoying watching their run at the moment.
33:19 What do you make of that match up?
33:21 Man, if I'm the main AR on Huntsmen,
33:22 I'm squaring up and trying to have the best series of my entire career.
33:25 Like you're going to come out of the gates with so much
33:27 passion and try to be as hot as you possibly can cuz,
33:31 you know, for a lot of these challengers guys, this is almost uh
33:35 [music]
33:35 a situation where you can either prove individually
33:37 or even just go to take down teams,
33:39 but it is your like opportunity to say, "Hey, I deserve to be in this league.
33:44 I'm so good of a player, you should put me on these top squads." [music]
33:48 So, I think Huntsmen are going to be coming out with some serious aggression.
33:51 If you're able to catch a Heretics that's potentially
33:54 on a downtrend and move out of the bracket.
33:56 Again, this is just a group with a ton of potential.
33:58 Oh, massive work.
33:59 You get Vancouver and Heretics.
34:00 We'll see how that goes.
34:01 Neither team particularly superb on LAN,
34:04 but over to Thieves real quick and Illey in the matchup, folks.
34:06 The routes and they're done.
34:07 Thieves, Nuke Tour with Falcons and Breach.
34:10 This is a hot group, man.
34:12 Boston on the uptick.
34:14 Falcons, you never know.
34:15 And Thieves and Nuke Tour, I mean again, you can catch Thieves slacking.
34:20 If they don't play to their potential, if they don't play to their opponent,
34:23 I think this could be a really fun game.
34:26 [music] And StaffPad should be too.
34:27 I think he's been very public about like hey, when he I think his statement is
34:31 what when he plays against the Challengers squad,
34:33 he wants them to think that they are a bunch of psychopaths.
34:37 [music] I think is the vibe and energy he's trying to bring in.
34:39 So, yeah, I think Scrap's going to try to have a field day.
34:41 It's going to be a good time.
34:42 group, of course, folks, if you are with your ABCs, can't forget D.
34:47 Final group here at Major 3.
34:50 And this one, uh, again, we've got a firm eye on this one.
34:53 FaZe, you lucky dogs, playing C9 first.
34:56 You never know what they're going to be bringing.
34:58 The first time we'll be seeing that roster on LAN.
35:00 And if it all started today, Champs Paragon and mates and Rokkr Esports.
35:03 Again, the mates, you never know.
35:04 Your Major 1 champions have definitely taken a couple of hits.
35:07 They've gone up and down in our standings.
35:09 They've not necessarily been as dominant as they
35:10 have at the start of the season.
35:12 This could be a very violent wake-up call for the roster.
35:16 And find out if Cloud9 are a bunch of land animals as well.
35:19 So, I think it's genuinely a situation where every single group,
35:22 I think the team coming in from Challengers has an actual,
35:25 really strong amount of potential to pull off some upsets.
35:28 I know traditionally when we've run this format in Call of Duty,
35:31 you know, back in the the CD CWL days, it'd be one team,
35:36 maybe every three tournaments would make an impact
35:38 and get like a top eight, and we'd go,
35:40 "Oh my god, this is crazy." But for the most part, they get smacked around.
35:43 I think the four teams we're having coming in from Challengers
35:46 could actually do a hefty amount of damage and shake things up.
35:49 So, very excited for Atlanta.
35:50 It's going to be an incredibly fun weekend.
35:52 Yeah, really fun.
35:52 Uh, we should be nearly ready to get into the game,
35:54 folks, but oh, no, actually there is a technical issue still rolling.
35:58 It's probably someone at PowerSway.
35:59 We'd love to blame them for everything, but we'll get back into the game FCP.
36:02 Ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for your patience here on this Mother's
36:04 Day Sunday for the United States and for Australia.
36:06 We're going to a break.

38:21 It's red everywhere.
38:22 It's red everywhere.
38:24 Uh Oh my god.
38:27 Running.
38:28 We're just running at him.
38:32 Oh.
38:37 Oh.
38:40 Grab the thing.
38:42 Let's go and get a score.
38:44 I'll get the kills.
38:45 Just run it through that hole.
38:47 Grab the thing.
38:49 Make control your score.
38:51 I'll get the kills.
38:54 Make sure you score.
38:56 Oh.
38:58 Oh.
39:00 They're going for it.
39:01 They're going for it.
39:01 They're going to be here as well.
39:03 IT IS NOT THE RAVENS.
39:05 IT IS A PHOENIX that has risen FROM THE ASHES HERE AT THE MAJOR.
39:10 THEY TAKE FLIGHT.
39:12 THEY BREAK THE CURSE.
39:15 AND LONDON CAN FINALLY WEEP TEARS OF DIS- JOY AND NOT DESPAIR.
39:22 [music] [music] They sound with a very quick listen in.
40:12 If I leave, do you guys leave as well?
40:14 Do you remember me from DMZ?
40:15 No, I don't think so.
40:17 Oh, with your leader though, I I don't know.
40:22 Oh, I just got close lined [laughter] by JUMP OUT BOY.
40:28 NO.
40:29 JUMP, JUMP, JUMP.
40:30 GET IT, GET IT, GET IT, GET [laughter]
40:38 I'LL BE HONEST, THAT DIDN'T CROSS MY MIND.
40:40 I WAS TRYING TO send it in, boys.
40:44 [gasps]
40:44 I mean, helicopters place Clint, they'll get the job done every day of the week.
40:47 Uh all right, ladies and gentlemen, we're nearly ready to party.
40:50 We're nearly ready to go.
40:51 We're nearly ready to dance.
40:53 We're nearly ready to light the fires and kick the tires.
40:56 Not 100% of what that means, but I know it sounds kind of cool.
41:00 Colossus, [music] Plaza, Exposure, Sake, and Fr0nze.
41:06 Chance, how we feeling?
41:08 I mispronounced [music] this how we're feeling for this one.
41:10 Going to be a good time nonetheless.
41:12 We start out with some bang outs.
41:13 We absolutely slow the pace down on some Exposure and Sake.
41:17 And I think it's a nice little sort of a stretcher match.
41:20 Yeah, you absolutely are testing multiple things.
41:22 Sake, like rotations are incredibly important.
41:24 Colossus, not so much.
41:25 That's where the gunny has to be brought to the table,
41:28 but fun things the whole way around.
41:30 And I'm very much hoping for a game five to make up for it.
41:33 Unfortunately, Dan Ghosty still taking routes.
41:36 Still taking routes.
41:37 Route man gets paid.
41:38 I'm not sure what's going on.
41:39 Must have got lost in the mail.
41:41 Well, to go back to our earlier conversation very quickly about,
41:44 you know, the nature of the Prime.
41:46 I'm really excited to see the Prime right now take place
41:48 mid-season cuz normally it takes place at the start of the season.
41:50 Going back to the old MW2 year where everyone's trying to figure the game out.
41:53 Upsets are a little bit more likely because you never know.
41:57 But I feel like at this point in the season,
41:58 teams have really started to figure things out.
42:00 A lot of our, you know, Challengers teams are also figuring things out.
42:04 So we're looking at squads that are way more practiced,
42:06 way more well-versed, in better form, going up against each other.
42:10 I think it's just such a better thing in general for the Challenger squads.
42:13 So, instead of just rolling the dice, hoping for the best,
42:15 you've got much better teams playing good pro
42:17 level teams when they're in a better form.
42:19 I think it's a much nicer showing of their skill and their teamwork chemistry,
42:22 all that sort of good stuff.
42:24 Absolutely.
42:25 And I think the number of storylines that are coming
42:27 in from the Challenger's team is actually kind of impressive as well.
42:31 I mean, you got guys like Renegade,
42:32 just another one of those Halo guys coming to COD,
42:34 and he has been taking over in Challenger's,
42:36 looking fantastic, developing his gameplay.
42:39 So, what he's going to be a ton of fun to watch.
42:40 Very happy to see him on the main stage for the first time.
42:44 And even just like the the coaching staffs of these four team,
42:47 Major Maniac giving a shot at coaching.
42:49 Just in my mind, that is one of the the perfect former pro players to take
42:52 that objective winning style mindset and try
42:55 to like work that into some of the teammates.
42:57 That's going to be super fun to watch and see how well he can work.
43:00 Bance is another guy that started to work with teams,
43:02 and that is the encapsulation of like
43:04 the British Call of Duty genius that we have.
43:07 Another objective minded, fantastic communicator,
43:10 and a ton of fun to work with that as well.
43:12 Josh has been doing incredibly good things for his team.
43:15 And then Vortex, the guy rounding out.
43:16 So, this is like all the old European fantastic
43:20 OBJ guys now working with like new teams coming together.
43:23 And if you're thinking about like, you know,
43:25 the advantages that the pro teams have
43:27 over the Challenger teams at the midpoint, coaching staff is a a big impact.
43:31 The ability to do things day over day, develop the game plan.
43:34 The Challenger teams now have this.
43:36 So, it's going to be incredibly exciting.
43:37 And again, I think they're going to be extremely dangerous.
43:40 Is this not like some random Challenger
43:42 kid watching like Paris Legion Made's VOD,
43:44 and I'm thinking he's going to be able to understand that and see it.
43:46 But the coaching staff that all four of these Challenger teams have in they've
43:49 been around the block and are some of the perfect people to make an impact.
43:53 So, fun stuff, Miles, the whole way around.
43:55 Well, speaking of coming all the way around, Ghosty's back,
43:57 and that means it's time to get into Colossus.
43:59 Here we go.
44:00 Map number one, Hardpoint Sunday,
44:03 on board with Dan Ghosty, the man of the moment.
44:06 And into P1 we will soon fly.
44:08 What kind of Heretics are they going to play today?
44:10 Well, we'll find out.
44:12 As the bullets and the nades and the knives start flying,
44:15 it's Envoy, the first man on the board.
44:17 Yeah, and I saw at least one 1:15 while Ghosty and Ranco
44:21 wrapping it for the either side at least off the opening break.
44:25 Uh, something I'm going to be keeping track of, obviously.
44:27 Looking at the records, Paris been good at this map the entire year and well,
44:30 Neptune a big factor as to why already pinching in Heretics while they
44:35 are absolutely surrounded and they just get four men wiped off the board.
44:39 Neptune goes from blue spawn through outside P3,
44:42 all the way around through yellow,
44:43 back over to statue, and now he's found himself here once again.
44:45 All of that took him 20 seconds including three kills.
44:48 Well done, Neptune.
44:49 Lovely stuff.
44:50 Subliners get theirs and the lower right hand side of the mini map uh,
44:53 P2 is so good right now for the Heretics.
44:55 Still though, Neptune on this worldwide tour getting his steps in.
45:00 He's got a few more kills to get before his team can get that P2,
45:03 but this is looking good.
45:05 Promise now to allow the teammates to get the kills and he can bounce.
45:07 Here he goes.
45:08 There's one.
45:09 The second not good enough, but his teammates get the break.
45:12 Good enough for the flip and good news for Neptune the rest of the game.
45:15 He is in fact unlocked marathon pro,
45:17 so he's going to be sprinting non-stop start to finish.
45:20 Of course though, talking about our rotations,
45:22 not necessarily the most important thing cuz even though you got the spawns,
45:26 it's only for a brief moment.
45:28 Five seconds later, Heretics are back in time.
45:30 Very breakable hard point this P2.
45:35 Not as incredibly you know, solid as a few of the others are on this very map.
45:38 Good nade tricks managing dodge the splash of that Semtex.
45:41 Towards the front we go yet again.
45:43 Breaks out the old hit and run.
45:45 Couple of jabs here.
45:46 It's Ghosty going to find at least one before being taken care of.
45:49 And as we talked about those breaks, Heretics are fighting hard to hold on to it
45:53 and it's a Metals map so far, ladies and gents.
45:56 10 and two, only nine seconds on the board for the gentlemen scoring a P3.
46:01 All right, that just went 11 to 2 now for Metals and on a five
46:04 streak might have a hellstorm cuz he also has 43 seconds in the hill.
46:08 So, Metals right now is absolutely on his BS and with shots
46:12 like that, it is understandable why he is on his BS.
46:16 What is the Spanish for being on his BS?
46:18 Someone Oh, nice one.
46:19 Speaking of BS, nice shots there.
46:21 Someone better tweet me that one.
46:23 We'll use it on broadcast.
46:23 You never know.
46:24 Drake's back to time.
46:25 Ghosty starting to get things going.
46:27 Nice attack towards the hardpoint.
46:29 That's going to be the break.
46:30 Over to the right hand side we go now.
46:31 Heretics.
46:32 It's going to be a funnel system and Ghosty guns at the ready.
46:35 Here we go.
46:36 Yeah, adjusting to the pace as well.
46:37 They started off 0 and 5 and well, Neptune doing what he does best.
46:41 Annoying pinch, shoot two players in the back
46:43 and now I mean Heretics no success here on P3.
46:47 Maybe not a massive amount of time for Gentlemen's,
46:50 but certainly a good enough chunk that they're
46:52 feeling a little bit more comfortable in the game.
46:54 And on the mini map you see Civ winning a key gunfight there on the backline.
46:58 Paris with a small advantage on P4.
47:00 That's not me field play there from Neptune.
47:03 Got the big ones there from the Heretics off spawn.
47:05 Straight into the fight we go.
47:06 Envoy's trying to keep the pace up.
47:07 He's pushed that pace though and Neptune's still fighting towards the back.
47:11 He's having quite the run here, but his teammates are being dropped all around
47:13 him and the Heretics are holding on to time.
47:15 And look at that, cut down the play on the back.
47:16 No one's going to get close.
47:17 Everyone through the front now for the Paris Gentlemen's.
47:20 I'm not 100% what they're all looking at.
47:23 Yeah, I mean it's one of those situations of like the rotational
47:25 gunfights matter less than the actual gunfight on top of the hardpoint.
47:29 So, Drake's wins one from inside the hill.
47:32 Fantastic stuff and I must have something in my throat.
47:35 That's a good view.
47:35 I'll take care of that.
47:37 And Heretics doing great stuff.
47:38 Get it out of you, boy.
47:39 Get it out of you.
47:40 We're getting these guys out the hardpoint as well.
47:42 Paris Gentlemen's have banged this one out
47:43 and they have broken the back of the Heretics.
47:46 Back to the drawing board here,
47:47 but not a terrible amount of time gained there for the Heretics.
47:49 18-2 with that 48 with the pressure and this has been a solid hold for them.
47:53 But again, the Heretics they're hot today, ladies and gentlemen.
47:56 They are battling together very, very well.
47:58 The first set comes to a close.
48:00 Paris a step or two behind keeping an eye on Metals who's 14 and nine.
48:06 Nep trying to keep it up as well.
48:07 Very difficult to maintain that production.
48:10 And if anything, 14 and nine there.
48:12 14 and 10 now for Metals is slowing down cuz Val Cookie is open,
48:15 but I'm seeing more M15s on the map than previously expecting.
48:19 So, I think this is the type of situation in the CDL.
48:22 All these pro teams really trying to die.
48:25 Val in next round.
48:25 We've seen the multi M15 strike really hurt
48:27 the Heretics a few times, break the pace.
48:30 Speaking of the pace,
48:30 let's go over to listen to the gentlemen to see how intense they are.
49:00 [laughter] Brain core is absolute as well.
49:06 Two there.
49:06 Two there.
49:07 Two there.
49:53 Old or new?
49:54 I don't know.
49:54 Oh, oh.
49:55 old metal shots.
49:56 I'm coming here.
49:56 I'm coming.
49:57 I like the energy.
49:58 Like the fire.
49:59 Like the passion.
50:00 And it's led to a much better score line there for the Gentlemen.
50:04 Yeah, you can hear like the ferociousness
50:06 there in the comms getting ready for Atlanta.
50:09 Need to be a better team.
50:10 They're clearly trying to make these improvements and get
50:12 a nice stamp with the Miami win for the tournament.
50:15 But Heretics, that is a three in the feed.
50:17 Last time they got beat down on this hill.
50:20 Well, now they have it under complete control.
50:23 How long we will test the hold now of the Heretics.
50:27 As the Gentlemen have taken whatever out they wanted.
50:30 Is it going to pay off?
50:30 Oh, Rambo two-piece with two HP to spare.
50:35 He now looks for his next kill in line.
50:37 Drake's will find that.
50:38 First wave for the Gentlemen destroyed.
50:41 Yeah, and the two-piece is on the correct side of the map as well.
50:44 So, that is a massive two kills for Rambo.
50:46 The final 20 seconds of this hill for Heretics.
50:49 Easy job here.
50:50 Another pinch from Rambo.
50:51 So, that man just went on the world tour
50:53 and ends up maybe costing himself just a little bit.
50:55 The spawns.
50:56 Interesting.
50:57 Three players on Heretics spawning a new.
50:59 Make it all four.
51:00 All four.
51:00 This is good for them.
51:01 They're going to hold on to that time.
51:02 They're going to hold the members of the Gentlemen back.
51:05 Give up the scrap happily.
51:06 10-point game going into our final hardpoint of the set.
51:10 Drake's with the big damage.
51:11 Rambo with a tight corner.
51:12 Might be good for the second here.
51:14 Here he goes.
51:14 There was a nice play from Ghosty.
51:16 Read and dealt with.
51:17 Now towards the hardpoint.
51:18 Now the guns are up and Rambo will find himself on a four.
51:22 Yeah, 25 and 16 by the way.
51:24 So, again, more M-15 usage out of him it feels
51:27 like on this map and he is certainly experiencing success.
51:31 Nail-biter game though.
51:32 Even with all four players spawning in the new time.
51:34 Once again, the most important gunfights are the ones that take place on time.
51:38 And that is exactly where Envoy has been laying a path of destruction.
51:42 A three-piece while collecting the time.
51:44 A difficult man to stop.
51:45 Four in a row.
51:47 Finally breaks over to the positive KD side of things as well.
51:49 Can he get another?
51:50 No need, his boys are on it.
51:51 This is a hold and a half from the gentlemen.
51:55 Closing out strong now.
51:57 There with Ghosty as well, who managed to walk away with one.
51:59 The trades are still on point, but it might not matter.
52:01 Final few seconds of scrap towards the Heretics into our third set.
52:06 And it is a banger of a statue.
52:08 What is this?
52:08 The start of the game all over again?
52:10 What an opening break.
52:12 Once they actually control, make it harder to stay alive in time.
52:14 That is three in the feed in favor of Paris.
52:16 They get statue control and Trex had to run for the hills,
52:19 trying to slow him down inside of blue
52:21 and Trex at least gets one before he falls.
52:24 So, the mixing-ness of Colossus is going to continue.
52:27 I mean, you got players almost on all four corners.
52:29 It looks like Paris, well,
52:30 they've stabilized the right side of the map and they still have statue control.
52:34 It's a good situation.
52:35 control, but Neptune lets a man through.
52:37 Oh dear, falls asleep on watch.
52:39 Lets a man on the time and now it gets a little bit mixing with the Heretics.
52:42 They just have to take advantage of that little moment of chaos.
52:45 Neptune back from spawn, back towards P2.
52:47 They have 20 seconds left of P1.
52:49 Tons and tons of time as the Heretics start to heat up.
52:53 A final 15.
52:54 Oh boy, vamos Heretics, listen in.
52:58 Por favor.
54:00 [laughter] It is a sudden bang here on Colossus.
54:33 And that's what the battle looks like from the eye in the sky.
54:37 Therefore the approach, he's the last player close enough to tie him.
54:41 Ghosty has got to keep the conveyor belt moving forward,
54:43 but uh-oh, we have been shut down by another Heretics push.
54:47 Dude, this map is war and we're breaking out the dodge angles on broadcast.
54:51 You love to see it.
54:52 It's a measly 30-point lead for Heretics,
54:55 but that's also the largest lead of the game.
54:58 Miami now on point.
54:59 Ghosty trying to rotate with shots like that.
55:02 You think you'd make it happen, but the trade instantaneous.
55:05 Heretics, they'll be at P4 first.
55:07 Starting to get fiery, starting to get hot.
55:09 P4 already to go for the Heretics looking
55:11 to close this bad boy out right here, right now.
55:14 Simp, you got to get in there fast.
55:16 He's a great tag on the way.
55:17 Rencore though still holds his nerve, holds his iron, finds another.
55:21 Net now breaks THE BACK, BUT RENCORE,
55:23 HE AND METALS, they close the door on gentlemen.
55:27 Yeah, Rencore might have just called game.
55:29 Well, now he's trying to open the door for Paris,
55:31 but anything so the teammate the final opportunity to get inside the hill.
55:35 Paris, it is the full sand first guy locked down.
55:38 Another team killed that does not matter.
55:42 Heretics kill everything in sight.
55:44 They win map one.
55:45 That was a little bit of a moment there from Drake's.
55:50 But it [music] don't matter.
55:52 There's no need to fret, no need to worry.
55:54 We close the door.
55:55 Heretics again blistering pace.
55:59 Confidence is there.
56:00 They're feeling good.
56:02 Gentlemates not so much.
56:03 That's a tough one.
56:04 That's a tough one.
56:05 This gameplay is going to show you just how close this was at times,
56:07 but I do think the the biggest lead we had were Heretics at the start.
56:11 Bang the Gentlemates out for the first what two hills.
56:13 Chance not a lot going on there, but they pulled it back.
56:15 That listen in by P3.
56:17 Superb work.
56:18 Gentlemates passion was there.
56:21 Energy was there.
56:22 Comms was solid.
56:24 Kills and all that not so much.
56:25 Two players over there Heretics over 4K.
56:28 Yeah, and listening to the assist on the entire lobby absolutely going crazy.
56:31 The damage going crazy.
56:32 [music] Civ gets to be the the top dog in the damage category,
56:35 but he only turned that into 28 kills.
56:37 Meanwhile, Brain Coral in the kills column absolutely dominant.
56:41 Just like Metals was at the start.
56:43 I mean, shocked that guy was unable to get a hellstorm.
56:46 He had 12 kills in the first two hills
56:48 and he was doing this while getting the hill time.
56:51 I think Heretics sort of brought all the goods that they had,
56:54 all the little Colossus goodies,
56:56 all the individual factors that they needed absolutely present.
56:59 Absolutely.
56:59 And again, looking back at the replay here,
57:01 I forgot that I mean Ranco might have got three team kills.
57:05 With an ace alone in this map, which is a very impressive especially when you go
57:08 up against the Gentlemates who didn't kill a single soul.
57:10 Wow, that's unbelievable Chance.
57:12 Maybe that's what it is, you know, they've lost their mojo.
57:14 They've lost that killer instinct.
57:15 That edge is gone.
57:16 And it did come with a little bit of sacrifice.
57:19 You have to give up a teammate or two,
57:20 you know, there's a price to pay for everything.
57:21 So, hey, you never know folks.
57:23 Gentlemates go down here in the first,
57:25 but any of the sort of parting words my brother
57:27 before we get the plaza and really get ready to rock.
57:31 Well, I mean, it's very difficult to track cuz I don't
57:34 know if you have the stats for like M15 kills versus MPC,
57:38 but I think Heretics back towards the minor were one of the first teams
57:41 that we saw pull out four MPCs for what felt like the entire map.
57:45 They won a couple games against some like top-notch teams and then they end
57:48 up faltering to one of the sort of the middle pack teams, on Colossus.
57:52 They were rocking double ARs the entire time.
57:54 So, I think Heretics had to have conversation and go,
57:57 "Okay, we might have overcommitted just a little bit.
57:59 You can't have success with this." And I think
58:01 Rambo was at M15 for maybe 80% of that game.
58:05 38 kills, tremendous success.
58:07 And how many multi-kills did he get, especially on those P4 rotations as well?
58:12 Many.
58:12 I think Heretics really trying to sort of fine-tune their gameplay.
58:15 You sit here in Paris, you saw the record,
58:17 like 11 and three, 11 and four overall.
58:20 An extremely good team on this map.
58:23 Heretics can beat them, they can take down anybody.
58:25 Beat anybody.
58:26 And you want this confidence going [music] into the major.
58:29 It starts in a matter of days.
58:34 [gasps] All right, everyone.
58:34 Let's get the air into the lungs.
58:36 Let's sit up straight.
58:37 Let's get ready to rock and roll because we are going to a plaza.
58:42 And you know what that means, friends.
58:44 That means we're going to have a bang out.
58:48 That is the term we're going to run with for now.
58:51 Plaza has been a treat to watch.
58:55 [snorts] Look at the round one.
58:55 Here we go.
58:55 Look at the round one right now.
58:57 Oh, IT'S A BANG OUT.
58:58 OH, YEAH.
58:59 OH, NO.
58:59 IT'S A BANG OH, NO.
59:00 OH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
59:01 THE HERETICS AND IT'S WON BY THE BOYS.
59:04 SICK.
59:04 Run it back again.
59:05 It's another bang out.
59:07 Let's go, BABY.
59:08 LET'S GO.
59:10 [screaming] CRAZY CROWD RIGHT NOW.
59:12 HIT IT AGAIN.
59:13 RUN IT BACK.
59:17 [screaming] DO IT AGAIN.
59:16 DO IT AGAIN.
59:18 YES.
59:22 [screaming] OH, NO.
59:27 OH, NO.
59:28 RIGHT BACK TO IT.
59:29 COME ON.
59:34 [screaming] IT'S A MODERN-DAY COLISEUM.
59:40 IT'S WHERE THE gladiators go for our entertainment.
59:42 Some call it the A bomb site.
59:44 Some call it a mosh pit.
59:45 Some call it bar.
59:47 Whatever you call it, we're definitely going to go there in this game.
59:51 I call it a map that if you're so committed to the bang outs,
59:54 I don't think you're really tried.
59:55 I think [music] both FaZe and OpTic yesterday were like,
59:58 I don't want to give anything away.
59:59 I just want to get out there and have a good time.
1:00:02 What OpTic did to Paris on this map, you see that 6-1 loss on Plaza,
1:00:07 you had OpTic basically writing a master's thesis of what
1:00:10 you can actually accomplish if you set your mind to it,
1:00:14 toying with the ideas, playing off of, okay, if it's a bang out,
1:00:17 here's going to be the setup, here's the timing, here's the re-wraps.
1:00:19 You can play with your food on it.
1:00:22 So, if you're trying to have fun, play for the bang out.
1:00:24 If you're trying to take it seriously and win, you do stuff like this.
1:00:27 A 2-2 opening break at Heretics.
1:00:29 Here to meet them.
1:00:30 So, Heretics bringing the good ideas,
1:00:33 the first triple hit down the B lane we have seen, and it gives them a 3-2.
1:00:37 The whole setup, that whole bang out bit,
1:00:39 that wonderfully edited piece of content involving our lovely
1:00:42 watch parties by our team, and they go B.
1:00:44 Are you kidding me?
1:00:52 3-2.
1:00:54 Here in the mid round adjustment.
1:00:56 And the Miami Heretics have got this one under lock and key.
1:01:01 Sib left alone.
1:01:03 A very difficult 1-3.
1:01:07 Good shot, son of the next.
1:01:10 And the Heretics have had to close ranks.
1:01:12 Can Sib do this?
1:01:16 God, no.
1:01:16 Absolutely smacked.
1:01:19 Heretics round one.
1:01:20 I mean, elite shots from Sib,
1:01:22 and then I he thought they weren't going to check the bomb,
1:01:25 so he's reloading while collecting.
1:01:27 Not the smartest thing I've ever seen cuz yeah,
1:01:29 Rankor just throwing shoulders the entire time and easy
1:01:31 to win the gunfight when they don't shoot back.
1:01:33 But either way, again, for the the bang out setup that we have,
1:01:37 it is not a map that requires that.
1:01:39 It is not a necessity.
1:01:40 Uh if anything, if you're banging out A on the attacking rounds,
1:01:43 you're really just rolling the dice,
1:01:45 flipping a coin, whatever you want to call it.
1:01:47 If you're approaching this map with a a degree of seriousness,
1:01:50 again, preparation for Atlanta.
1:01:52 Heretics right now one and three overall.
1:01:55 go.
1:01:55 You got to bring out something better.
1:01:56 Here we go.
1:01:57 IT'S HAPPENING AND WE'RE IN.
1:01:59 The wall jumps to the right.
1:02:01 WE FLY.
1:02:01 SIP WITH TWO.
1:02:02 METALS JOINS THE BOARD.
1:02:04 TWO V TWO.
1:02:05 METALS FINDS ANOTHER.
1:02:07 One v one for the bread.
1:02:11 And Rankor gets it.
1:02:15 Okay.
1:02:15 Well, all right.
1:02:16 I'll ignore buy points.
1:02:17 Screw it.
1:02:17 We'll go back to the bang out.
1:02:18 Roll the clip.
1:02:18 Roll the tape.
1:02:19 Put it in the vault.
1:02:21 It comes the replay.
1:02:24 Heretics three off the right hand side.
1:02:26 Two on the hot there in Sip.
1:02:27 Oh, he feasts.
1:02:28 Metals little bit of a back and forth there.
1:02:31 Takes care of that right flank.
1:02:32 Pulls back to mid.
1:02:34 And Rankor that stun connection really helpful again.
1:02:37 He does wait for the regen.
1:02:39 Waits for the regen.
1:02:40 So again, a different look here.
1:02:41 That's three right.
1:02:42 Pull back to mid.
1:02:43 Go left for the Heretics.
1:02:44 We'll see if they do that again.
1:02:46 Cuz again, as much as we say, "Ooh, it's a bang out." They've got a strat.
1:02:50 Do you want to make slight go back?
1:02:52 You won't.
1:02:52 Heretics they in fact will not.
1:02:54 They're going to be Oh, now we're going to see the uh retake situation.
1:02:58 Rankor the lone person there for the defense,
1:03:00 but he knows he can't do it by himself.
1:03:03 And this is looking like maybe all four players on the pinch
1:03:05 or maybe Rankor just sort of toying with the idea through mid, but no.
1:03:08 I mean, they're taking this from the offensive side.
1:03:11 And this is all about the time.
1:03:12 Oh, you didn't get You didn't get in.
1:03:13 You got caught.
1:03:14 You got tagged.
1:03:15 Here come the nades.
1:03:16 Trades are good.
1:03:17 Nade, trades are good.
1:03:18 2 V 2.
1:03:19 Listen, they got to play on Envoy on the re-wrap.
1:03:21 He's pitching the pitch.
1:03:22 He's coming for them cheeks and he's picked up both of them.
1:03:25 Genomites on the board.
1:03:27 And you know, thematically on the the defensive end,
1:03:29 I really like what I saw from Optic yesterday.
1:03:32 You know, bang out jokes aside of at least on defense,
1:03:35 we're stacking it and then you can play for the retakes after.
1:03:38 But this is definitely a site that you
1:03:40 want to get control of on the defensive end.
1:03:43 I think it's really up to the offensive team if they want to force the bang out,
1:03:46 but Heretics is a bold attempt to give up
1:03:49 the site and try to retake it in that situation.
1:03:51 I think Envoy showing a classic example of the difficulty in doing so.
1:03:56 Easy re-pinch on the call.
1:03:58 No hesitation out of that world champion and I mean,
1:04:01 just dismantles them in that round.
1:04:02 We've had that conversation a few times about certain bomb sites in COD maps.
1:04:06 You really don't want to be in a retake situation.
1:04:08 You always want to have a player there.
1:04:09 Early intel or for the, you know, just dig in and don't let them get there.
1:04:13 Nice start here though.
1:04:15 The Heretics that wrinkle pick is certainly going to help.
1:04:18 Again, defensively here for the Paris Legion may spread incredibly thin.
1:04:22 Like not enough butter across a lovely long delicious baguette.
1:04:25 It's fresh from the bakery and it is not going well.
1:04:30 We're having paella tonight.
1:04:33 Neptune is trying to distract for as long
1:04:35 as he can to give Ghosty time to pinch.
1:04:37 Well, now Heretics know the play call.
1:04:39 One in front, one in the back and they do the smart thing.
1:04:41 Group up together and try to isolate one of these players.
1:04:45 Where Neptune backs down and groups up together.
1:04:47 So both teams making good plays.
1:04:48 You know, worry though being that close together.
1:04:51 Fingers and toes.
1:04:52 Retake attempt now.
1:04:53 Ghosty and Neptune.
1:04:55 Look at the patience from the Heretics.
1:04:56 You've got all doors covered.
1:04:57 You have every single avenue under your control.
1:05:00 If Ghosty, oh no, he's got an MP 5.
1:05:02 If he could find a pick, maybe an MP 5 would certainly help.
1:05:05 You have to do this without taking a lot
1:05:06 of damage and he has slipped through past the threshold,
1:05:09 but But second man barely made it.
1:05:13 Superb stalwart defense there from the Heretics.
1:05:16 Yeah, just a tough first blood to the middle of the map.
1:05:18 I think the both touch and nade coordination there on top of Envoy.
1:05:22 Plus the double challenge that was rolling through.
1:05:26 Uh we were watching number four on the mini-map with an NPC,
1:05:28 but it was team shots cuz Rank Core is the guy that ends up getting the kill.
1:05:31 So, once you get the first blood on this map,
1:05:33 then you can go back and take the site control.
1:05:36 So, basically just going for that one-for-one trade with the nade kill,
1:05:39 but main advantage site control devastating to have to retake that bomb site.
1:05:45 I mean, what do you do?
1:05:46 You always send two players to make sure you have some presence there.
1:05:50 You're sending two on the attack here by the gentlemen, so there it is.
1:05:53 It's the Heretics three wall bound strat.
1:05:58 Envoy certainly makes them pay.
1:05:59 That is an unbelievably costly attack from the Heretics.
1:06:04 Now you're down two men and the B bomb site is wide open.
1:06:07 Gentlemen, how effective could How effective could that have been?
1:06:10 I don't think anymore.
1:06:12 Well, I think if you're in a two-v-three retake,
1:06:14 you'd rather do it at this site.
1:06:15 See what the AR duo can cook up with NPCs in their hands.
1:06:19 Yeah, right.
1:06:24 You've got to cross quite the open space here.
1:06:26 Yeah, Rank Core great work.
1:06:28 Just to check those corners.
1:06:29 Next problem to solve.
1:06:31 Sib's giving you a tiny bit of back showing.
1:06:33 Oh my timing.
1:06:34 Oh my.
1:06:35 Tries to skill his way forward and super unable
1:06:38 to get there in time to capitalize on the gunfight.
1:06:42 Gentlemen, start strong, finish even better.
1:06:44 Yeah, so close yet so far.
1:06:46 I mean, that's a free first blood and Rank
1:06:47 Core gets the next guy one shot in line,
1:06:49 but Envoy making sure he is there to play cover for his teammates.
1:06:54 So, a lot of damage being done to these final two players,
1:06:56 but teamwork ultimately on point and Envoy got three kills,
1:07:00 I believe, in that round.
1:07:01 If not all four.
1:07:03 But had a solid one certainly to start the nade
1:07:05 connecting and just devastating that defensive push for Heretics.
1:07:08 it's a miracle to be honest with me
1:07:10 the way the Heretics threw that together through ball.
1:07:13 And the way the nade connected that he didn't kill all three of them,
1:07:15 yeah, on the on the bomb site.
1:07:17 So, he did pick up another man on the way out,
1:07:19 but we've overwhelmed the A bomb for now.
1:07:23 Defensively sound.
1:07:25 And here's the quick adjustment.
1:07:26 Ghosty trying to watch mid, trying to get over towards B bomb.
1:07:28 Again, too many Heretics, too much to deal with there.
1:07:31 He's not going to be able to win a fight against two.
1:07:37 One, very doable.
1:07:40 I don't think I played a shot of Metal,
1:07:41 so I don't think Bears actually know that Metal is this close to you.
1:07:44 And well, whether or not you knew Envoy,
1:07:46 reaction time on point, the nades even better.
1:07:49 Envoy does get traded, but big advantage Bears.
1:07:51 Keep coming close to this to get those kills.
1:07:53 Uh-oh.
1:07:54 Uh-oh.
1:07:54 That's right.
1:07:55 It's a new part of the map we've not really worried about in quite some time.
1:07:58 Sib dancing over the counter makes that one V one.
1:08:01 And Super's committed to the ground floor.
1:08:03 He's going for the kill here, Sib.
1:08:05 Are you ready for this?
1:08:07 Absolutely not, Super.
1:08:10 Super flies super fast and super tough to track down.
1:08:17 Hee hee.
1:08:17 That's a tough one as well.
1:08:19 Yeah, nice little giggle, too.
1:08:20 I think Sib is certainly the player as well for Bears.
1:08:23 If you're looking at their S&D woes,
1:08:25 he's the player this stage that has struggled the most in.
1:08:28 He's having a good game so far, at least in the kills column at seven and five,
1:08:31 but Sib I think had a big responsibility
1:08:33 in that round having to leave a little different guns.
1:08:36 Had to swap to the pistol.
1:08:37 Players all around him, so just in a difficult spot.
1:08:40 Super there to just take care of business in S&D.
1:08:44 Super certainly one of those players that feels like a guarantee.
1:08:48 Bang out.
1:08:49 Here we go.
1:08:50 Strap in, ladies and gentlemen.
1:08:51 Start your timers.
1:08:53 Back and FORTH ONE V ONE.
1:08:55 SUPER COMES OUT ON TOP.
1:08:59 [snorts] One of those players that feels like a guarantee.
1:09:01 I don't know if he was the last one in live, but last Armano standing.
1:09:05 Blaze away with a cold-blooded clutch.
1:09:09 There for a couple damage in the players before and sealed the deal.
1:09:12 And again, I mean, it's just you're playing the coin
1:09:16 flip on the attacking rounds to go for this.
1:09:18 Get some nades in, go for anything,
1:09:19 and see the trophies there actually a lot more beneficial for Heretics
1:09:23 this time to send four players in, but Blaze giveth and Blaze taketh away.
1:09:28 Airborne super nades for Heretics.
1:09:30 And Heretics, it is three left.
1:09:32 It's three wall jump every single time.
1:09:35 That is what we've seen.
1:09:37 So now you start thinking about those bang out, start thinking about nades.
1:09:39 And yet they pump the brakes on this one.
1:09:42 They haven't thrown anything yet,
1:09:43 so we could be seeing Metals die with his pockets full.
1:09:45 The stun at least comes out.
1:09:47 And that is brilliant.
1:09:48 That's the adaptation you wanted.
1:09:49 Heretics have trained you now.
1:09:51 You have been fully primed.
1:09:53 And what have they done?
1:09:54 They've pulled the rug right out from under your feet.
1:09:57 You imagine on a map like this with that type of style that would be king,
1:10:01 but instead two and eight and getting first blooded Heretics.
1:10:04 Going to go up two and 0 in the series.
1:10:06 They showed you the open hand on the left,
1:10:07 but it was the right hook you had to worry about.
1:10:09 Nice work, Heretics.
1:10:12 Oh dear.
1:10:14 Might not be as easy as we wanted.
1:10:15 Now it's like a very clean two v two.
1:10:18 Heretics on the back pedal.
1:10:19 The re-wrap here.
1:10:20 Saves going to get caught unaware.
1:10:23 Can Ghosty close this out?
1:10:24 He sends it.
1:10:25 It's a one v one.
1:10:26 BRING CORE.
1:10:28 OH, GHOSTY FINDS THREE FROM THE SMOKE.
1:10:32 THAT'S THAT LIFELINE, BABE.
1:10:33 OBJ kids putting in the work.
1:10:36 One of the UAV players we have in the league.
1:10:38 And honestly, maybe two of them.
1:10:40 Ooh.
1:10:40 A massive moment there in the bailout.
1:10:42 You see the way it breaks down.
1:10:43 Clean gunfight there to get that first kill on the engagement.
1:10:47 I think a free pick as a player trying
1:10:49 to run away from the site just gets caught.
1:10:51 I think realistically, that's just a single mistake there from Heretics.
1:10:55 A a small happy little accident, but enough for Paris,
1:10:58 at least those two players to fully capitalize on.
1:11:01 So, Heretics still a round away from going up 2-0 in the series,
1:11:04 but if there's any round that could shift that momentum, it'd be that one.
1:11:08 Not over yet.
1:11:10 Here's the adaptation.
1:11:14 That's the nade to catch the wall runners.
1:11:15 Nobody home.
1:11:16 All over B.
1:11:18 We love a bang out.
1:11:20 And you have to play around it.
1:11:21 And this time it's going to be more mid.
1:11:23 Lot of noise.
1:11:24 Oh, and a quick turn.
1:11:25 See if they line up.
1:11:27 Drake's disgusting work to find his second kill.
1:11:30 Over to Ranker now on the bomb site.
1:11:31 Passes the information.
1:11:33 Drake's is good for the mid here or the flank.
1:11:35 The guessing game begins.
1:11:38 Not a guess for Envoy.
1:11:39 Oh, that timing not going his way.
1:11:43 He's still dodging.
1:11:43 And it is a battle of card damage.
1:11:45 Oh, but Drake's holds it for a second, and we're still going here on Plaza.
1:11:54 Guys, I still like again, bang out aside,
1:11:58 I think it's on the like the onus is on the offensive
1:12:01 team of whether or not they want to go for this full commitment.
1:12:04 I think on defense, it's almost worth it every single time.
1:12:07 If you just get that control at the start of the round,
1:12:09 get the control and then just hold it.
1:12:11 Paris had done it on defense where they get control of the site,
1:12:14 and they just continue to chow and continue to fly forward.
1:12:17 Maybe the elves on their shoulders speaking into them,
1:12:20 whispering [laughter] in their ear,
1:12:21 keep moving forward, but site control is really the name of the game.
1:12:25 But, Heretics not necessarily playing for two different rounds
1:12:27 where they just don't play for it on defense.
1:12:30 Maybe Paris doing a little bit of the same.
1:12:32 This is it.
1:12:32 It's the same nades.
1:12:33 It's the SAME NADES.
1:12:36 OH, ENVOY!
1:12:35 EXACTLY THAT.
1:12:36 WHAT AN ADAPTATION.
1:12:38 THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
1:12:39 We're going to an 11.
1:12:40 We're going the distance.
1:12:42 It is perfect work.
1:12:45 You have figured out the Heretics.
1:12:47 You have done it.
1:12:48 Was that Envoy for the ace as well?
1:12:50 I didn't catch it.
1:12:51 I was too busy glazing.
1:12:54 That nade, disgusting.
1:12:57 And again Well, you had two rounds before this.
1:12:59 There's the third kill.
1:13:00 Nonetheless though, again for the style of like the Hangout theme,
1:13:05 you have to be delicate when you have trophies.
1:13:07 When you not have trophies, how many players are going to come here?
1:13:10 Two different rounds where Heretics full send into the site
1:13:13 and just get blown away by the grenades.
1:13:17 You have to turn your brain on when you play this map.
1:13:19 You don't have to turn it all the way up.
1:13:21 You don't have to use 100% of it, but you got to use at least like 85.
1:13:24 All right, we go.
1:13:25 Hangout.
1:13:26 Heretics right back at it.
1:13:29 Onvoys here yet again.
1:13:30 Here comes the nade.
1:13:32 But not this time.
1:13:34 You've baited out just enough.
1:13:35 You heard a few there from the Heretics.
1:13:37 You know they're on site.
1:13:38 The Gentlemen are playing this safely.
1:13:40 They have got an eye on B, an eye on mid.
1:13:42 They're still present towards the A bomb.
1:13:48 And now that it's round 11, we're turning our brain on.
1:13:51 And committing in a much more cautious way.
1:13:55 the A bomb site is a three lane map of its own.
1:13:57 You don't go to the right lane anymore cuz that's where the nades are hitting.
1:14:00 Now with the bomb plant, I don't think there's a trophy to be seen,
1:14:02 but there's barely anything left to throw.
1:14:03 So now it comes down to a true head butt.
1:14:08 Rank and Super, HERE WE GO.
1:14:10 FIGHTING FORWARDS AND IT IS DONE.
1:14:14 RING THE BELL.
1:14:15 ROUND 11 is over.
1:14:17 I don't even know how It was like a second and a half.
1:14:20 The Heretics just wiped the Gentlemen out.
1:14:24 And that's tough with two.
1:14:25 That would have been a fun 5-2 comeback,
1:14:26 but instead Heretics kill up 2-0 and Rank
1:14:29 or and Super molding into a singular player there.
1:14:33 Both head butt or hands behind the head.
1:14:36 And I'm staying on theme.
1:14:37 This is You have to get the site control on the defensive end at the start.
1:14:42 And again, maybe trophies being a factor of why you're
1:14:44 choosing not to, but if you're having to retake it,
1:14:47 there are no fun avenues of approach.
1:14:50 Even if you're a man down, if you got the site control, you're feeling good.
1:14:53 That is exactly it.
1:14:54 You just you lose site control.
1:14:55 You gave it up.
1:14:57 You played the nades, you played around the lethal so well,
1:15:01 but that Heretics last-minute adjustment, go mid,
1:15:04 don't go right-hand side of the bomb site.
1:15:07 Man, you ran them there.
1:15:08 Great work.
1:15:10 What a round 11 that was on Plaza.
1:15:13 Yes, it's a bang out.
1:15:14 But there is a bang out within the [music] bang out.
1:15:17 And if you don't bang them out, they'll bang you out.
1:15:20 You know what I'm saying, type Good type There you go.
1:15:26 This is going to be the map that is perhaps
1:15:28 the most interesting to watch online versus on LAN as well.
1:15:33 Again, I'm still going to give credit.
1:15:34 When I had to play against Paris on it,
1:15:35 they basically wrote a thesis statement of all the different
1:15:38 types of tricks you can bring to the table.
1:15:40 Uh unfortunately for Paris, well, tricks got brought to that one.
1:15:43 So, a little bit different situation there.
1:15:45 And well, it's a map that Paris have yet
1:15:47 to crack that code and Heretics one and three overall, two up in the series.
1:15:52 looking good and you could not ask for a better time,
1:15:54 folks, with the major just around the corner.
1:15:56 But right around the corner for us is a break
1:15:57 and on the other side of it is a game of Overload.
1:16:00 I need to catch my breath after that bang out.
1:16:03 You could maybe go bang out the bathroom or maybe bang out a refreshment
1:16:06 as we get ready to bang out this break and on the other side,
1:16:08 we're going to be banging out our game of Control.
1:16:11 We'll see you on the other side of this bang out.
1:16:16 Great time to go.
1:16:28 Major 3 is going to be a classic.

1:17:24 It's you whipping an F-1 go-kart at the Grand Prix Plaza,
1:17:27 testing your aim and movement at Summerlin Paintball.
1:17:31 It's you driving supercars at Speed Vegas,
1:17:34 surviving the best escape rooms at Escapology,

1:17:40 It's you taking a picture in front of the Bellagio water show,
1:17:43 seeing Vegas from [music] the largest observation wheel in the US.
1:17:46 It's you and the squad making memories for life.
1:17:50 A weekend in Vegas that you'll never forget.
1:17:54 Um 4v1, I think it was the clutch and then like that.
1:17:57 Uh and we were just, you know, um playing the round out and I I heard Oh,
1:18:01 Cat Cat, you know, he's he's he's he's
1:18:02 pushing up and figured Oh, he's dead, okay.
1:18:03 So, let's play it nice.
1:18:05 And then I hear a roar behind me, an absolute roar.
1:18:07 Uh and then he's like, Watch it.
1:18:08 Watch it.
1:18:08 And then [laughter] the kill cam wasn't running.
1:18:10 So, I was I you know, I was doing the roll the tape.
1:18:12 I want to see this.
1:18:13 And luckily, it came up and uh yeah, he's blown away and left a bit [laughter]
1:18:17 of a little doo-doo in his pants, I think.
1:18:25 There's more than just the game on the line.
1:18:27 It's like, you know, a lot more bragging rights.
1:18:31 I think the the very first map is the most important map.
1:18:34 [music] Uh if you go down that first map to Optic,
1:18:36 chances are you're not going to win the series.
1:18:37 I think they have like over 90% win rate after they win the first map,
1:18:41 so it just really comes down to that first map, I think.
1:18:44 When you go up 2-0, it's really hard to come back,
1:18:46 and we're really good at sealing the deal
1:18:47 and just closing the We've been practicing pretty hard,
1:18:49 and you know, watching a lot of film and stuff like that, so
1:18:52 I'm just really confident we're going to walk away with the W.
1:18:59 [music] What do you think of my shirt today?
1:19:03 Uh it it is a choice.
1:19:05 It's a choice.
1:19:06 Listen, guys, I put this shirt on.
1:19:07 I felt pretty I felt pretty sexy, to be honest.
1:19:09 Yeah, I looked in the mirror and thought, "God God goddamn." [laughter]
1:19:12 And then I got in the green room, and everyone said, "Your shirt's too tight.
1:19:14 You look like an idiot." I was like It's just a little too small, but it works.
1:19:42 Um my barber insisted that I try out the look,
1:19:45 and ever since, I've been feeling pretty good.
1:19:48 We've been playing pretty good, so I feel like I kind of got to keep it.
1:19:50 It might be a full goatee.
1:19:51 I never You never really know.
1:19:52 Keep your barber, my guy.
1:19:53 LA looks good on you.
1:19:56 I don't know if I like this at all.
1:19:58 Actually, this guy's alone right now, though.
1:20:01 No, no, they're not.
1:20:02 I got to get a quick rip.
1:20:07 [screaming] OH MY GOD.
1:20:17 [screaming] YEAH, BARELY RECOVERED FROM THAT ONE.
1:20:21 BUT BARELY.
1:20:22 SERIOUSLY, not a lot of time to make a call there.
1:20:23 It was over basically before it started.
1:20:26 GG's.
1:20:26 Into the next map we nearly go,
1:20:28 but first before we get into that one, a little spotlight to shine Uh,
1:20:31 over some of the teams,
1:20:32 some of the players that we're going to be seeing coming up at the major.
1:20:35 That's right.
1:20:36 DK and Ethan here for Omen.
1:20:38 This is how their stats have looked.
1:20:40 Chance, and again, they're going to be going
1:20:42 up against some of the finest in the league.
1:20:44 What an exciting prospect for them.
1:20:46 Yeah, young players, too.
1:20:47 So, very exciting to watch.
1:20:49 Potentially, uh, CDL candidates.
1:20:51 I don't know the streets have been talking these guys up quite a bit.
1:20:53 So, excited to see them play.
1:20:55 Uh, and of course, not just these two.
1:20:57 Uh, I mean, Aspect's been pretty good.
1:20:58 Denz is another guy that's been around [music] for a hot minute.
1:21:02 Uh, he started his Call of Duty competitive career back in Ghost.
1:21:05 You His first chance was back in Black Ops 3.
1:21:08 Getting coached by Bance and Hixxy.
1:21:10 So, this is like a full like EU top squad.
1:21:14 Very fun to see what they can do.
1:21:15 But, of course, that's for the future.
1:21:16 For now, Exposure Overload.
1:21:18 Yeah, for the the future, as well.
1:21:19 I mean, both those players are 18.
1:21:21 So, they are, you know, the whole tweet like, "Oh, this kid's just turned 18.
1:21:24 He's a top prospect." A couple of them right there.
1:21:26 Shout out Bance, [music] shout out Hixxy.
1:21:28 Love you, boys.
1:21:28 Here we go into our game three, Exposure Overloadus Maximus.
1:21:33 [music] I A man, I What the hell?
1:21:37 Plazas so fun.
1:21:38 I don't care about the bang out jokes.
1:21:39 This is a good time.
1:21:40 It's a good time.
1:21:41 We're we're engaged in mass psychosis at this point in the map.
1:21:44 I'm telling you, man, you can play it with structure.
1:21:46 I swear, I'll die on this hill, and I might just die alone.
1:21:50 You can.
1:21:50 You might be there a solo X.
1:21:54 Uh, big pick up there for the Gentlemen's.
1:21:55 They've got this bad boy, and they're running at home.
1:21:57 Neptune has overshot, and he is not accounted for Super,
1:22:00 who is so sneaky and might just cut the play out here.
1:22:04 What a play.
1:22:04 Second man down.
1:22:06 Go on, Super.
1:22:07 Nearly stops it.
1:22:08 No.
1:22:09 We get it in thanks to Ghosty.
1:22:11 There's Gentlemen's recovery.
1:22:13 Could tell Super made a a sneaky heads-up play
1:22:16 here if he just accidentally let a player go through,
1:22:18 or timing didn't go his way.
1:22:19 But, our repair now here Huke is not in the right spots on the defensive end.
1:22:23 Very quick capture there for Paris, and the kills continue to flow their way.
1:22:28 Set themselves up for the second capture.
1:22:29 Ghosty leading the charge 5-0.
1:22:31 Yep, 5-0.
1:22:32 Got himself streaks as well.
1:22:34 Nice shots in the next few.
1:22:36 Allowing the boys now to make their way in, but not no manpower here.
1:22:39 You've lost the two leads.
1:22:40 On exposure, it certainly helps to have at least two of them.
1:22:45 Guns are up.
1:22:46 Heretics finding these kills.
1:22:47 Envoy, he's slowing me down as best he can.
1:22:49 Nice nade there from Ghosty at the distance,
1:22:50 but still got the EMP in position for the Heretics now.
1:22:53 An opportunity to make a run.
1:22:54 Super, how decisive can you be on this attack?
1:22:58 We are at least showing that we're going to be going low dirt with the device,
1:23:01 but this is just opportunity for Super.
1:23:03 Maybe the late pinch when there's some noise.
1:23:05 See, Ghosty is currently ironed up waiting for them to make the move.
1:23:08 In the meantime, Device Guy is the one that wins
1:23:11 the first dunk by just to kick off this season.
1:23:13 Oh, yeah.
1:23:14 Super still dancing.
1:23:15 EMP not making a move.
1:23:17 They know there's a player around here somewhere.
1:23:18 Nep, he's playing it slow and steady.
1:23:21 Treaks can't get anything through the front.
1:23:22 Goes for the punch.
1:23:23 Gets parried.
1:23:26 And again, playing so safe and steady.
1:23:27 Nep gets into the fight now.
1:23:29 The pick up and generates with the wind in their sails.
1:23:32 Yeah, there was only a small window for Heretics to sort of crawl through,
1:23:36 but unable to thread that needle.
1:23:39 Now, of course, just try to get this device
1:23:41 out and get as much space as you possibly can.
1:23:43 Yeah, Ghosty getting killed from the heavens above,
1:23:45 but Metals with the device in hand
1:23:46 doesn't quite have the teammate support just yet.
1:23:49 So, again, very small windows of opportunity right now for scores.
1:23:54 Both teams defensive.
1:23:55 Envoy, do you not think Yeah,
1:23:56 we're on Yeah, slightly disconnected on the attack.
1:23:58 Heretics, could they not shuffle that lineup
1:24:01 a little bit more and get back together?
1:24:03 Envoy with possession, not going to make it past Metals easily.
1:24:07 Will back up.
1:24:08 Nice kill there from Ghosty opening the bottom lane now for business.
1:24:12 An ambitious challenge with the EMP in hand,
1:24:15 and that should be a clean set of kills for the Heretics.
1:24:18 And we'll see what like direction these guys want to go.
1:24:21 Well, if Neptune Where did Neptune fall off?
1:24:24 Wait, did Neptune fall off the map?
1:24:25 I'm looking for a body on the left-hand side and we're
1:24:27 looking for a goal on the left-hand side as well.
1:24:28 Over to B.
1:24:30 Drake's fighting forward.
1:24:31 Neptune, a paid actor?
1:24:33 1-1.
1:24:35 I mean, what?
1:24:37 I have no idea.
1:24:38 I tried to see And not to And Sib is 1 and 8.
1:24:40 So, this is an interesting start for a 1-1 game.
1:24:44 What a wild series we're going to have today, Miles.
1:24:46 I think that the game five weirdness is going to continue today.
1:24:50 I'm with it.
1:24:50 I am all about it here.
1:24:53 Keep an eye on the stats.
1:24:54 Metals on a two.
1:24:56 Mute field is still ticking away in the back
1:24:58 and Sib is still on a downward trend, 1 and 10.
1:25:04 Super finally ends it in the right And the spawn of the gentlemen makes another
1:25:09 man to deal with here is the flow
1:25:10 of reinforcements defensively making their way in.
1:25:12 A couple of trades.
1:25:13 Metals waiting for the perfect moment.
1:25:15 Waiting for the stuns to run out.
1:25:16 Well, you've still got a lot of players to deal with here.
1:25:19 Hellstorm is you sorely needed with the final
1:25:20 minute and 15 seconds of the first half.
1:25:23 And here it is, just playing possession.
1:25:26 Uh Paris have a fantastic trophy over on the A side.
1:25:28 So, because of that trophy, you got to go to B.
1:25:30 Yeah.
1:25:31 We're close enough.
1:25:32 Oh, no.
1:25:33 Ghosty, nice save.
1:25:34 Two in the feet.
1:25:35 Going to end that one right there.
1:25:36 Final minute to play.
1:25:40 Thank god someone there for the gentlemen who realizes
1:25:42 that possession is key and they want to grab that EMP.
1:25:45 Can they battle their way through the top side of the map?
1:25:47 Certainly going to help out here with the Hellstorm.
1:25:49 At least four seconds to use inside.
1:25:50 It's Neptune's MPC, but Metals takes care of the carrier.
1:25:54 The most important player on the moment.
1:25:57 Ghosty still trying to get it all done himself.
1:26:01 And indeed, well, picking up the device and this is the guy leading the charge,
1:26:04 picking up the device and trying to skip on over towards his teammate.
1:26:08 Envoy has cleared out this A bomb site.
1:26:10 If you make it on the cross and as long as you survive to get here,
1:26:13 Envoy can help you get this gap every time.
1:26:15 Envoy, what a play.
1:26:17 2-0 with 20 seconds to spare.
1:26:20 That is outrageous defensive work,
1:26:23 making sure that carrier truly safe and sound.
1:26:25 Final 10 seconds.
1:26:26 Neptune looking for the pick up here.
1:26:29 Looking for the kills as well.
1:26:30 Can he get it?
1:26:31 Force a little bit of extra time.
1:26:33 Envoy once again on the lead play.
1:26:36 Now to spawn.
1:26:37 Are we able TO GET THIS DONE?
1:26:39 NEPTUNE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BROTHER?
1:26:40 Get that bad boy UP TO B.
1:26:43 A RARE um movement mishap there from Neptune.
1:26:47 Well, finally he's made it up top and well,
1:26:49 bought enough time for Envoy to get back in the mix.
1:26:50 It's a 4v4.
1:26:52 4v4 and we're playing it real close.
1:26:53 Nep trying to make up.
1:26:56 Won't get it done there.
1:26:57 We go to half time with a nice lead for the Gentle Mates.
1:27:01 Possibility for another one.
1:27:02 I mean, I thought Envoy was going wild towards the end there.
1:27:05 Right place, right time, everything going his way.
1:27:08 Yeah.
1:27:09 I think one of my favorite things I've seen this year from like a a social media
1:27:13 perspective is I'm not in like tapped into the French
1:27:16 community just cuz English is my only language.
1:27:18 Well, underneath like whatever tweet about Gentle Mates
1:27:21 in the midst of them having the struggles, all of the comments underneath,
1:27:24 at least according to Google Translate, were players being like,
1:27:27 "If you don't think Envoy Oh, well, by the way, here's the route." Ah.
1:27:32 So, there's that answer.
1:27:33 That turned into a capture.
1:27:34 We're getting fancy for a maybe no reason.
1:27:36 But either way, all the French fans were defending Envoy and basically saying,
1:27:39 "You don't know ball if you think this guy isn't
1:27:42 a main contributor." His facili- facilitation of that score, absolute spectacle.
1:27:47 I set it up well in advance.
1:27:48 Envoy always in Damn.
1:27:51 Okay.
1:27:53 You were saying You were saying.
1:27:54 Anyway, a second What a good stun out of Rencor, though.
1:27:58 Yep.
1:27:58 That was That was a great stun.
1:27:59 Second half already.
1:28:00 Heretics early possession.
1:28:03 Going low.
1:28:04 Anybody home?
1:28:05 Of course, the man of the moment, Envoy.
1:28:07 Trying to do all here.
1:28:09 The dead nade.
1:28:09 Here comes the run.
1:28:10 And it's Rencor to just flying through.
1:28:14 Neptune's going to pick up a couple
1:28:15 and Ghosty still trying to keep this one going,
1:28:17 but an early score sees it at 2-2.
1:28:19 I just got to say Ghosty is crazy.
1:28:21 That is I didn't even listen.
1:28:22 My bad.
1:28:22 I apologize.
1:28:23 You're a good kid.
1:28:24 Big fan.
1:28:24 That's on me.
1:28:25 Yeah, that's insane.
1:28:26 That's a world champ.
1:28:27 By the way, by the way, Civ is 3 and 16.
1:28:29 I wasn't going to say it.
1:28:30 I wasn't going to say insane.
1:28:31 Insane.
1:28:32 Well, Civ.
1:28:33 There you go.
1:28:34 4 and 17, but still what a weird stat line.
1:28:37 Ghosty still making a run for it.
1:28:38 Metals to the device.
1:28:42 Still keeping the top play going.
1:28:43 It's on Civ.
1:28:44 You got to go big, mate.
1:28:45 You've got to find something here.
1:28:46 Neptune, thank goodness.
1:28:47 His MPC starts to work.
1:28:49 The knife.
1:28:50 Oh, what a dodge.
1:28:51 Super.
1:28:53 Nice work again out of Envoy.
1:28:54 Your side of the map is now clear.
1:28:56 Time to go, boys.
1:28:58 You need to see him get this fifth kill before uh listen,
1:29:01 there there is one particular watch party chat.
1:29:03 There we go.
1:29:04 Do I have to worry about it?
1:29:05 5 and 17 is back.
1:29:07 Back, baby.
1:29:07 Don't worry about it.
1:29:09 Envoy on the flank.
1:29:10 5-2.
1:29:11 Open lane to work with.
1:29:11 Hey, can somebody pick it up?
1:29:12 Civ, that's your job.
1:29:13 Grab that bad boy and get it over to the goal.
1:29:15 No, Trix is going to make it that bit harder.
1:29:17 It's a 1 V 1 on time.
1:29:18 It's a 1 V 1 for the goal.
1:29:20 It's Trix.
1:29:20 He's got it.
1:29:21 Lead will stay 2-2.
1:29:23 Yeah, huge win.
1:29:24 Ghosty is dangerous man with that pistol.
1:29:26 Looks like the tax were on point, but now Heritage two kills and a feed.
1:29:30 All four players grouped up together.
1:29:32 Huge opportunity.
1:29:32 They move with pace.
1:29:33 They move with purpose.
1:29:34 Oh my goodness, they just run over the top.
1:29:36 What a save.
1:29:37 Big kills there, but team kill unfortunately
1:29:39 still the shuffle shuffled here on the defense.
1:29:41 NEPTUNE, OH RINK CORNER, THE ONE PUMP to the pistol.
1:29:45 Ghosty is GETTING A BIT MAD.
1:29:46 HE'S THROWING EVERYTHING HE'S POSSIBLY GOT.
1:29:48 WELL, chuck for your own mate as his teammates now making their WAY FORWARD.
1:29:51 ENVOY STILL GOING BIG, and that should be another GOAL.
1:29:54 WAIT, THE PICK UP.
1:29:56 AN AWKWARD MOMENT.
1:29:57 WOW, NEPTUNE, WHAT A TWO.
1:30:00 WHAT A SAVE.
1:30:02 AH, THE DEVICE reset of hell.
1:30:04 Being attacked, nobody had the movement skills to collect that in fluid form.
1:30:09 What a wild mixy moment to a Frank core.
1:30:12 I mean, hey, he's up to 18 kills this series.
1:30:15 Some fun moments the whole way through.
1:30:17 Now Heretics defensively, they have spread the map thin.
1:30:21 And you do have Paris mostly grouped up to attack B.
1:30:23 Mostly.
1:30:25 Worrying about the numbers here.
1:30:28 Double back.
1:30:29 Big one on the flanks.
1:30:30 Going to pull the defenders forward a bit, but the Heretics, they're not biting.
1:30:32 They are not taking the bait.
1:30:35 Back and forth we go.
1:30:36 But Envoy, the tail of the snake cut off.
1:30:40 And that's the device now stationary.
1:30:42 Here come the Heretics.
1:30:43 Ghosty can't watch it all.
1:30:45 Can't take care of it.
1:30:46 Heretics with a quick steal.
1:30:48 Heretics now with the run.
1:30:49 The A goal looking good, but the spawns are down here as well.
1:30:52 Super, you've got to win a fight.
1:30:55 One got to be in.
1:30:56 Oh, Trick splash damage, no problem.
1:30:59 It's a big splash as the goal goes through.
1:31:02 And what a psychotic map here.
1:31:03 This might be a map where like the vibe
1:31:05 that you have to do beforehand for prep work
1:31:07 will like set the theme cuz Paris are
1:31:09 in a situation where they're just trying to play bully ball.
1:31:12 They'd have way more success cuz Heretics are very much playing uh defensively,
1:31:16 spreading the map as it were.
1:31:18 But we of course have that information and Paris don't.
1:31:20 So, I think Heretics right now just playing a a very solid game.
1:31:23 Very solid game.
1:31:24 Very solid series.
1:31:25 A minute 15 and it all comes to a close.
1:31:27 Here we go, Paris.
1:31:29 A big run.
1:31:29 An opportunity to be.
1:31:30 Sib is in position.
1:31:32 7 and 23 wonder.
1:31:33 Might just be able to get a goal over the line and get it back to all square.
1:31:37 There we go.
1:31:38 It's in.
1:31:38 Neptune sees it through.
1:31:40 The kills are still good.
1:31:42 Back to the middle of the map we now go with less than a minute to play.
1:31:46 Yeah, and Trick in that situation just late to the party.
1:31:48 Again, Heretics spread out on defense.
1:31:50 So, if Paris just group up together,
1:31:52 they'll have way more success on their attacks.
1:31:55 We know with the mini map they don't.
1:31:56 It's something to actually figure out.
1:31:57 But hey, you get two kills in a feed now for Paris.
1:32:00 Well, eyes on number three.
1:32:02 They're finding all these extra area kills.
1:32:05 I think a a hiding situation for Rambo though who kills
1:32:08 the device guy and stops the entire push in its tracks.
1:32:11 Oh no, THE B GOAL IS OPEN.
1:32:13 RAMBO, HE'S GOING FOR IT.
1:32:15 PUMPS THE BRAKES, wait for the lads.
1:32:17 He doesn't know.
1:32:18 It comes to spawners.
1:32:19 General X which way are we going?
1:32:22 Through the middle.
1:32:23 Neptune lets him slide by.
1:32:25 Oh my goodness.
1:32:26 METALS CAN'T KEEP IT ALIVE ON THE CROSS.
1:32:30 RAMBO, he's down.
1:32:32 He's dead and with 7 seconds to go, it is one last chance for Paris.
1:32:38 Extra time to work with.
1:32:39 Neptune leading the charge through Zeg.
1:32:41 He's going to have Ghosty going lower window and he
1:32:43 got number six pushed out to the top side.
1:32:45 You find these kills, that's your open lane.
1:32:47 That's where you want to hit it.
1:32:48 Or someone got killed.
1:32:51 Is that a nade maybe?
1:32:52 It might have been a nade.
1:32:54 Oh Dios mio.
1:32:57 Here we go, folks.
1:32:59 Who doesn't love a bit of Heretics and overtime?
1:33:04 3-3.
1:33:05 What a game of Exposure has been this attempt from Rambo.
1:33:10 Envoy, what a save.
1:33:11 Neptune was there.
1:33:12 The Unjinx is back.
1:33:13 The Unjinx is back.
1:33:14 Neptune was there as well just in case
1:33:15 but that was the moment of the match so far.
1:33:20 Into overtime we go.
1:33:22 First team to score sets the time.
1:33:26 You must be in the second half.
1:33:30 Once more into overload here on Exposure we go.
1:33:37 Get the nades off the rip as well.
1:33:39 See if he can set the pace.
1:33:40 Explosions ringing out but Heretics they're the aggressors.
1:33:43 Tricks has made it down low and he gets the first blood.
1:33:46 First blood on Sib who's the least kills and the most deaths in the game.
1:33:50 He's certainly involved.
1:33:52 Nice work, Net.
1:33:54 Outstanding shots on of second man but not enough for the kill.
1:33:57 Envoy here in position to stop the Heretics play.
1:33:59 Have they read him?
1:34:00 Watching out for the spawners now.
1:34:02 The jostle there for mid map.
1:34:04 Still underway.
1:34:05 No one with a clear cut advantage.
1:34:08 Paris have all corners.
1:34:10 Except for that one.
1:34:11 Super hands up winning the corner fight.
1:34:12 Well, Envoy wins his.
1:34:14 Still a bit of a scattered push for both of these teams.
1:34:17 Heretics have the extra man in Simp trades and Simp good to give you two.
1:34:22 So, Paris now we're going to have just a little bit more pressure on the map.
1:34:25 Ghosty picking it up straight away.
1:34:27 Big pick up.
1:34:28 Trying to reset.
1:34:29 Here come the numbers.
1:34:29 Reinforcements forward.
1:34:30 That's the courage you're looking for.
1:34:32 Simp opens up the right lane.
1:34:34 You've got a man in position.
1:34:34 Neptune catches a man with his knife out.
1:34:36 The race is on now for B.
1:34:38 Trying to get this done as fast as possible.
1:34:39 Metals trying to stop it.
1:34:40 He's gone wide.
1:34:41 He's gone wrong.
1:34:42 And it's a minute and 12 seconds.
1:34:45 The Heretics have to be Quick and clean stuff there as well.
1:34:50 Ghosty the moment he grabbed the device.
1:34:52 Neptune snaps into position and hits low dirt.
1:34:55 His teammates wins the gunfight over towards the rock
1:34:57 and then Neptune ends up taking the perfect route.
1:35:00 Catches the one Heretics player sprinting who would have been able
1:35:03 to slow this thing down and as soon as Neptune gets that kill,
1:35:07 all but seals that capture.
1:35:09 So, my man Simp very much struggling in this game,
1:35:12 but his two piece in the mid cut really
1:35:15 set off that sequence to help his team out.
1:35:17 That is solid stuff.
1:35:19 For Heretics what?
1:35:20 A minute 12, I believe in that ballpark to work with.
1:35:23 It's a respectable amount of time.
1:35:25 It is.
1:35:25 And in this game mode, it's a long time.
1:35:28 Here we go.
1:35:29 The whistle has blown.
1:35:31 Last half.
1:35:32 Heretics, if you score now, the series is over.
1:35:36 A nice opener.
1:35:38 Is this enough to force them forward?
1:35:40 Looking for another here.
1:35:42 The gunfights are finished and it's another two piece from Simp.
1:35:46 That's a dagger two piece as well.
1:35:48 I mean, you got to bust.
1:35:49 You can do whatever you want.
1:35:50 Run it.
1:35:51 Grab that bad boy, get it forward.
1:35:52 Looking towards the B goal.
1:35:54 Envoy leap blocker yet again.
1:35:55 Draks hot on the heels of the EMP.
1:35:57 Neptune watching the pinch doesn't get anything done.
1:36:00 The run is on.
1:36:01 The run is good and it might be another.
1:36:03 IT IS NOT.
1:36:04 WHAT A SAVE BY DRAKS.
1:36:06 AND METALS is already pushed up on the flip side.
1:36:08 If Metals gets one, maybe two kills here, that would be golden.
1:36:11 Well, great damage, no kills.
1:36:13 25 seconds left.
1:36:14 Heretics after four straight be in position as well trying
1:36:16 to save this and Draks he's holding it down with a pistol.
1:36:19 Coverage not there.
1:36:20 You've still got men downstairs.
1:36:22 Renkor, can you get forward?
1:36:23 Someone's got to pick that bad boy off.
1:36:25 The clock is ticking.
1:36:26 It might be on Metals to find the grab, find the kills as well.
1:36:28 He's gone high.
1:36:29 He's gone down.
1:36:30 Draks getting desperate and that's it, folks.
1:36:32 Throw the towel in.
1:36:34 We go to Saqqaq.
1:36:36 We go to a map four.
1:36:38 The Paris Legion makes survive.
1:36:40 Yeah, and if you look at that scoreboard,
1:36:42 you would have no idea that Sib was on Zuma Wash for a moment there.
1:36:46 From five and 17 to not like 20 29 is great,
1:36:51 but that is just the indication that in the overtime,
1:36:54 maybe towards the latter half of that second half,
1:36:56 Sib did start to figure it out, started to take over.
1:36:59 And his M-15 truly bringing out on the map.
1:37:02 So, very solid turnaround from him.
1:37:04 And Paris really starting to calibrate some of their routes on this map as well.
1:37:09 Uh exposure again, just a backdrop.
1:37:11 I I think a map where Vaders you honestly really important just
1:37:14 to see the types of routes teams are taking defensively from either side,
1:37:19 but good to see Dantae somehow top damage
1:37:22 in the lobby with the start that he had.
1:37:24 So, that means the damage was always good
1:37:27 and then the overtime started finding every single kill.
1:37:29 Yeah, Ghosty's hat trick as well.
1:37:31 Congratulations.
1:37:32 Oh boy, what a sweatfest that was.
1:37:35 I mean, we were given a lot of flak Sib's way, but 18 27 under 3K damage.
1:37:41 I mean, technically Renkor was the uh the weak link in that match.
1:37:44 Highlights, folks.
1:37:45 I don't know where the hell we start this one.
1:37:47 What a brilliant game.
1:37:48 Overtime comes to a close with a minute and 12 being
1:37:50 the record the gentlemen have to get and they nailed it.
1:37:52 Brilliant stuff.
1:37:53 Well, [music] that is that a lifeline
1:37:54 in the series and the possibility for a comeback here.
1:37:58 Will the Heretics still have [music] the magic in the tank?
1:38:01 Can they close out a Suka?
1:38:02 You just keep an eye on that sub stat.
1:38:03 6 22 is going to change quite a lot over the next few moments.
1:38:07 Yeah, finished again 20 and 29.
1:38:10 So, ends up going triple positive to finish things off.
1:38:13 Anytime I wasn't gassing up Envoy by the way, he was making plays like this.
1:38:17 Wins the clutch gunfight and the guy that makes
1:38:19 it to back plat stops the device carrier.
1:38:22 If I remember correctly, I think Envoy had five carrier kills in this game.
1:38:28 So, as long as I wasn't mentioning it, the MVP.
1:38:32 Indeed.
1:38:32 What a save here.
1:38:34 That was unbelievable work from Trex.
1:38:36 That would have been it, game yet again.
1:38:39 But, they had another chance, a final attempt.
1:38:42 And Envoy undercuts two of them.
1:38:45 Closes [music] it there for the Heretics.
1:38:47 A lifeline here purchased through blood, sweat, and tears.
1:38:51 What toil [music] it took to get here.
1:38:54 The Heretics now know a slight sigh, a crack of the neck.
1:38:59 [music] That's right, boys.
1:38:59 We're going to another hardpoint.
1:39:00 To Suka we go.
1:39:02 Fringe for the game five.
1:39:03 How interesting that will be between these two squads.
1:39:06 And again, what a series so far to start Sunday off.
1:39:12 [music] And for me just to be stuck in the past as well
1:39:14 at two of those rounds for Heretics having the device get dropped top solar.
1:39:18 I mean, two different scoring opportunities
1:39:20 that end up getting stopped because there's
1:39:21 no easy way to get back up there once you're pushed up that far.
1:39:25 So, maybe different routes in the future
1:39:27 or maybe just luck not being on their side.
1:39:30 For Suka, it is not a map about luck.
1:39:32 It is a map about skill.
1:39:34 It is map about rotations and spawn manipulation.
1:39:37 On any given hill, you could do some devastating
1:39:40 things and teams have been developing these strats as well.
1:39:44 I think both Paris and Heretics have been a fun team to watch.
1:39:47 Absolutely fun teams to watch in their ups
1:39:50 and their downs and seeing them get hit, take those knocks.
1:39:55 I'm more interested in the Gentlemen's comeback this season.
1:39:57 If they're going to do it, [music] what a story that will be.
1:40:00 This is how map one looked like that Colossus.
1:40:03 It was like two hours ago.
1:40:05 It might feel that way for our players.
1:40:07 In COD hours or in COD series,
1:40:09 it really does feel like a long long time for them.
1:40:12 Ghosty, an air of frustration on his player cam.
1:40:16 Rencor as resolute [music] and focused as ever.
1:40:19 Going into the Saug here now, ladies and gents.
1:40:22 Still match point for the Heretics.
1:40:24 And again for the Gentlemen's, good luck, lads.
1:40:29 I really wish you didn't point out the asymmetry of his headset.
1:40:34 [music] I'm telling you, man.
1:40:34 Rencor's got one of the most cranked twisted headsets in COD history.
1:40:38 We've seen some bad ones.
1:40:41 [music] Havens during COVID was insane.
1:40:43 Rencor's I mean, that is
1:40:46 [music]
1:40:46 That's borderline uncomfortable, right?
1:40:48 Surely.
1:40:48 I I would have No, no, no.
1:40:50 He's just I got nothing.
1:40:53 Envoy also wears his headset backwards.
1:40:56 So, he's a sick Don't forget.
1:40:58 psychopath in the Call of Duty world.
1:40:59 Yeah, that's apparently a a real thing.
1:41:01 You can honestly just listen to it that way.
1:41:03 Your brain will eventually adapt [music] and train it that Yeah,
1:41:05 his left his left ear is on his right headset.
1:41:10 And vice versa.
1:41:10 It's insane.
1:41:11 He's wearing it backwards.
1:41:12 Preposterous.
1:41:13 The man's still shooting, still getting it done.
1:41:14 A world champ.
1:41:17 That's him good for his first kill here.
1:41:18 We're going to see him dance around Saug here just a little bit.
1:41:20 Trying to stop the onslaught here of the Miami Heretics players
1:41:23 and towards P1 and uh Saug here is a tricky map.
1:41:27 So many avenues, easy to get lost.
1:41:30 And that dude absolutely has.
1:41:31 He was so busy trying to watch the bench,
1:41:32 but oh routes I routes whatever happens,
1:41:35 it took a long time for Heretics to touch the time,
1:41:37 but is Paris going to four-man wipe.
1:41:39 Look at how quickly both Envoy and Neptune snap into position.
1:41:43 They're not able to block all the spawns in time.
1:41:45 They get two, and this is just Neptune's
1:41:47 opportunity to break them down on the back line.
1:41:50 And while all of this is taking place and Neptune winning these gunfights,
1:41:54 yes, he gets dropped,
1:41:54 but his teammates just collected a good chunk of the P1 time,
1:41:58 and they should be able to win this rotation.
1:42:00 That is just reaction time and responding
1:42:02 to a four-man wipe Paris showing us how it's done.
1:42:05 Ah, yeah, you say should.
1:42:06 You say should, but Trex finds two in the back.
1:42:09 Now, Neptune's alone on time.
1:42:11 Can he keep this dance going?
1:42:12 Looking for the second.
1:42:14 Great shots on the fadeaway to make his way outside.
1:42:16 Again, the damage is sublime.
1:42:17 So, now the Paris gentlemen should be able to clean these boys up.
1:42:20 Oh, no, you can't.
1:42:22 Ghosty trying to get involved.
1:42:23 That's going to be the region complete.
1:42:25 Oh, the first wave of Paris crashes like rocks on the Heretics.
1:42:29 Yeah, they're making great plays,
1:42:30 but Trex just one-upped them to kick-start this one.
1:42:33 But, a one-v-one right now for time.
1:42:35 Envoy and loses the gunfight.
1:42:37 The trades are quick, and it is a square-up battle through these front doors.
1:42:41 Trade fest getting kicked off, and it'll be Metals in a one-v-one for the time.
1:42:45 Neptune delivers.
1:42:46 They've kept the pressure up.
1:42:48 Great shots.
1:42:48 Nice work.
1:42:49 Neptune dancing.
1:42:50 I mean, this is endless contest time.
1:42:52 There's not a lot being taken away from this P2.
1:42:56 Serious battle.
1:42:58 The game clock being eaten away more than anything there.
1:43:01 Over at P3, the dreaded P3, the other side of the map, far left-hand side.
1:43:05 If you played ranked, you'd know what this one's all about.
1:43:07 And a sneaky Metals has made his way
1:43:09 in towards the parking lot, to the driveway.
1:43:11 Can he make entry now alongside Super?
1:43:13 Here we go.
1:43:15 Oh, you get the first blood,
1:43:16 and he just wants to block those spawns, but they're getting all the kills.
1:43:18 Now, he collapses on them.
1:43:19 Three to beat.
1:43:19 Make it all four, and how good is that?
1:43:22 Perfect four-man wipe.
1:43:24 And once again, you get a four-man wipe, you need to take some space.
1:43:27 The Heretics players snap into position.
1:43:29 space.
1:43:29 I mean, Super is on a force spree in the middle of the map, lovely work.
1:43:33 That holds.
1:43:35 Saw a barrel, saw a ghosty.
1:43:38 Looking for the next.
1:43:40 What a hold so far from the Heretics.
1:43:41 Haven't counted for envoys, made his way through the back.
1:43:44 And he's broken it.
1:43:45 20 to go here.
1:43:46 This is massive time.
1:43:48 Yeah, this is our battle right now on Sake as well.
1:43:51 Even with that map pressure and presence from Heretics,
1:43:53 Paris is able to sort of stabilize and take their time.
1:43:55 So, we're testing different skills on these hills for both of these teams.
1:44:00 And right now we're playing some A+ Call of Duty.
1:44:03 A+ you hear that, guys?
1:44:04 You make teach proud.
1:44:06 Melson Trakes cutting them down, cutting through.
1:44:11 Their Parisian opponents.
1:44:14 Another one V one win as the Paratroopers
1:44:16 completely disconnected on their attack to P4.
1:44:19 And uh if you play this map in ranked,
1:44:21 look at the route that Neptune is currently taking.
1:44:22 There's 47 seconds left on this P4 hill, and he's making sure to take the deep
1:44:27 route cuz banging through the front is a nightmare.
1:44:29 So, three players are on Paris trying to isolate this.
1:44:31 And Neptune on the pinch for the moment has not been read.
1:44:34 Not read at all.
1:44:35 Not read at all.
1:44:36 This is all good time.
1:44:37 There's the first kill.
1:44:39 Nept cutting in.
1:44:41 Heretics now easy set up for this, and Ren core is
1:44:43 going to be good for it as he throws himself to death.
1:44:46 Good hold out of the Heretics.
1:44:47 A war on two fronts won.
1:44:50 Yeah, and I think maybe you want to get
1:44:51 that timing just a little bit better there,
1:44:53 but that is a deep route from Neptune who in turn team kills.
1:44:56 Uh you will still want the right side of the map though for this P5.
1:44:59 So, ultimately the flip is a good thing in the long term,
1:45:02 but the best hill for either team so far,
1:45:05 Heretics have built a very sizable lead.
1:45:07 Sizable lead, but again, that can evaporate quite quickly on Sake.
1:45:12 These powerful vapors, these metals, yeah, vaporizes, absolutely.
1:45:18 Good luck, lads.
1:45:19 Ren core now on the pinch.
1:45:20 Nice work, three dead right off the rip.
1:45:22 Big two out of Sid.
1:45:23 Straight to time.
1:45:25 Brilliant work on the next.
1:45:26 Sid cooking here on a four.
1:45:28 Yeah, I think I'm on team.
1:45:30 I want to see Sib with the M15 over the MPC at least the majority of the time.
1:45:34 Certainly not every hill, but his production with that gun this series so far
1:45:37 has been a spectacle and that dude still on demon time.
1:45:40 Demon time, or as we call them in Japan, Oni.
1:45:44 And this is looking demonic.
1:45:47 Gentle makes a five out of Neptune.
1:45:49 You finally end the Sib run.
1:45:51 That was nice dates.
1:45:52 Ghosty get it done from time.
1:45:53 Oof.
1:45:54 Metals on it.
1:45:55 Neptune six seven closed out.
1:45:58 Brilliant stuff, but again, you need the hard point.
1:46:00 And Envoy there for good, too.
1:46:02 Nice work.
1:46:03 Give me the scrap.
1:46:04 Rotate to new.
1:46:05 Come on, boys.
1:46:06 You still got this.
1:46:07 And Neptune treats the MPC like a sniper.
1:46:09 Mind that it does not shoot like that.
1:46:11 Those are not easy shots to hit at range, but they'll do it right now.
1:46:15 So, Neptune's got the hot hand as Ghosty is the hill time.
1:46:18 Well, he got number four, Metals, on the pitch.
1:46:20 He's good for two and Sib last man standing loses.
1:46:23 That is a four-man wipe.
1:46:25 And now you get to watch Heretics jump and attack these spawns.
1:46:28 They're flying.
1:46:28 Flying.
1:46:29 Sending it.
1:46:31 Keeping them pinned in, causing damage.
1:46:32 I think the Parish Shuttle makes they are still fighting.
1:46:34 They are still swinging.
1:46:35 There is but life in these warriors' veins.
1:46:38 Let's hear the battle cries of the Parish Shuttle makes.
1:47:15 On the truck that pinches our tricks, he's going ticket.
1:47:24 I'm going ticket.
1:47:24 it.
1:47:33 There's one in the back there.
1:47:34 Got her, I think.
1:47:36 One shot.
1:47:37 I stopped shooting there.
1:47:40 Top and back.
1:47:41 One shot back door.
1:47:43 He's four cliff now.
1:47:44 Yo, take it.
1:47:46 Two on top ticket.
1:47:47 Take it.
1:47:47 I'm down short.
1:47:47 Boxes, boxes.
1:47:48 Boxes.
1:47:48 One shot.
1:47:49 I stopped shooting there.
1:47:49 Under, under challenge right.
1:47:51 Boxes.
1:47:52 Up front dead.
1:47:53 Back door right corner.
1:47:56 Middle last guy.
1:47:58 There's two on old then.
1:47:59 Two on old.
1:47:59 I can get mid.
1:48:00 Yep.
1:48:00 I've right.
1:48:02 Nice.
1:48:04 I'm on the right here.
1:48:05 Take it.
1:48:05 I'm going to spawn out.
1:48:06 I have time.
1:48:06 I have time.
1:48:07 I have the back time.
1:48:08 I mean the only real battle cry we heard there.
1:48:10 I mean Envoy still providing tons of information in those comms.
1:48:14 And last week in an interview,
1:48:15 Ghosty talked about how they want to have He told us directly If
1:48:19 you do a listener the start of the series compared to the end,
1:48:21 they're trying to bring the same energy in.
1:48:23 The listening we had on Colossus was absolutely menacing for Paris.
1:48:28 I think Envoy's the only guy that sounds the same.
1:48:30 So, doing what they can on that side is Paris doing what they can here on P3.
1:48:35 Trying to call themselves out of a 60 point hole.
1:48:38 Keep cooling boys.
1:48:39 You are going through hell.
1:48:41 Keep going.
1:48:41 Keep going.
1:48:42 Sit.
1:48:43 Good clean up on the back.
1:48:45 Lying asleep on the stairs is not comfortable, but it certainly worked out.
1:48:48 Big three now from Ghosty.
1:48:50 Keeping that left lane locked down.
1:48:53 Over the bridge now with the push out for the final 15 seconds on that rotation.
1:48:55 A perfect time to keep those members of the Miami
1:48:57 Heretics out of the fight as long as possible.
1:48:59 Two left.
1:48:59 Two on the right most likely.
1:49:01 Oh, no.
1:49:01 Full three left.
1:49:02 So, again, can you identify the spawns and get in the fight?
1:49:06 And the first kill matters so much and Ghosty's going to give it to you.
1:49:09 So, that's going to kick off the spawn sequence.
1:49:12 Envoy's making the move.
1:49:13 Super's going to spawn in the back and Heretics They two players there,
1:49:15 but they don't win any of these gun fights.
1:49:18 Ghosty kicks it off.
1:49:19 His teammates are in the top.
1:49:20 are in top.
1:49:21 And out towards the right hand side,
1:49:22 everyone in the back gun should be at the ready here.
1:49:24 And Envoy still trying to provide that suppression.
1:49:26 Still trying to provide it and staying alive as well.
1:49:29 Keeping this play good.
1:49:30 Two two split here for the Heretics on the break trying to get involved.
1:49:33 And Envoy still is eating lead.
1:49:35 Traix finally gets out there in the kill.
1:49:37 He's got an M15 on the contest.
1:49:39 Traix finds another.
1:49:40 Sib down.
1:49:41 And here we go.
1:49:42 Rincon brought to the fight and the Heretics have battled their way in.
1:49:45 Still trying to hold it together.
1:49:47 Super and Metals down.
1:49:49 And the Paris Shadow makes hold.
1:49:51 And they're about to take lead for the first time in a long time.
1:49:53 Again, this is maybe a 70 or 80 point deficit that they had.
1:49:57 And look at them now.
1:49:58 They have the lead and they might just have that rotation to Envoy.
1:50:02 The first guy around and Sib is here for the follow.
1:50:04 Still here.
1:50:05 Still here.
1:50:05 Envoy set up.
1:50:07 Find the middle cross.
1:50:07 Oh, good shots.
1:50:09 Sib.
1:50:10 Good work again with the M15 keeping those players at bay.
1:50:13 The 200 point mark has been crossed.
1:50:14 Heretics have been stunned since the sands of the Zen Garden.
1:50:18 And now, two barrels.
1:50:20 Wicked work from Super on the attack forward.
1:50:22 Ghosty's trying to catch whatever he can in mid, but not a soul here.
1:50:25 Metals on the flank gets one.
1:50:27 To the time we now go.
1:50:28 Go on, Traix.
1:50:30 ON THE BREAK.
1:50:30 NO.
1:50:31 NEPTUNE SHUTS IT DOWN.
1:50:32 NEPTUNE DOWN.
1:50:33 SUPER NOW ON THE BREAK.
1:50:35 It is back and forth here on Sakae.
1:50:38 Race forward to get the kills.
1:50:39 We can't quite get that.
1:50:40 Ghosty wins a big one, but Rincon there for the trade.
1:50:43 And looks like Heretics trying to give you a little bit extra.
1:50:47 Still a mixing mini map and the trade's on point
1:50:49 and the sneaky Traix down low gets to be the cut off man.
1:50:52 Heretics well, final 20 seconds to go.
1:50:54 If they get it all, it'll be a tied up game going into the new.
1:50:58 P1 has treated the Heretics very well here.
1:51:01 Better than the bartender.
1:51:02 He's given all the good recommendations.
1:51:04 And they're tipping nicely.
1:51:05 Oh, the knife not going to work out.
1:51:07 Here we go, folks.
1:51:08 Final few seconds.
1:51:09 Can the gentlemen pull the victory away
1:51:13 from the heretics and force the game five.
1:51:15 This is it.
1:51:17 Oh, man.
1:51:18 Neptune is down sitting on the back line and Simp
1:51:20 just had a perfect spot to get that intel.
1:51:22 So, Paris doing everything right at the start of this P1.
1:51:24 They're looking for the next kill.
1:51:25 Let's go.
1:51:25 Ghosty shuts down the side door.
1:51:27 Ren core now through the window.
1:51:30 Fantastic work from Envoy.
1:51:32 The nades over the top now good and Ghosty finds his third
1:51:34 in a row and we're looking at a game five, boys and girls.
1:51:37 We can smell it.
1:51:39 It's that high quality premium sake.
1:51:42 We're enjoying ourselves a time, but wait.
1:51:44 A sign of life?
1:51:45 Yeah, Ghosty holding it.
1:51:47 Simp with a covering fire.
1:51:49 It's not over yet.
1:51:51 This is going to be the absolute desperation effort.
1:51:53 Ghosty trying to be the stamp on the game as well.
1:51:55 Ghost on a five spree.
1:51:56 Sequence of trades and well, Neptune, why not cap it off?
1:52:00 36 kills dominant in the lobby.
1:52:03 Nobody was close.
1:52:04 Here we go.
1:52:07 Game five.
1:52:10 Oh, and that is a very frustrating turn of events for the Miami Heretics, boys.
1:52:16 It was looking sick.
1:52:18 It was looking [music] nice.
1:52:19 Neptune takes the weights off and now we are flying.
1:52:23 Again, there is still an air of I don't know.
1:52:25 Sort of trepidation [music] there from the Paris gentlemen mates.
1:52:29 Even with a victory like this, they don't look
1:52:31 as happy as you feel like they should be.
1:52:34 The listening there was uh telling.
1:52:37 [music] The match to close it out on the end 252 0 8.
1:52:39 And again, unbelievable production in the kills department there from Neptune.
1:52:42 36 and 23.
1:52:43 28 of those being non-traded.
1:52:45 The rest of the squad all pulling their weight.
1:52:46 Strong work on sake.
1:52:49 Baby, game five.
1:52:50 Jeu cinq?
1:52:51 I think it is.
1:52:52 I'm fine.
1:52:53 We'll find out.
1:52:53 I'll check Google.
1:52:54 Don't worry, guys.
1:52:54 Game five, here we go.
1:52:56 Well, this is going to be the name of this well.
1:52:58 Paris just making that meteor comeback.
1:53:00 It all started on that secondary P2 as well.
1:53:03 Or the P3 after it.
1:53:04 That's where they're down by the 60 points.
1:53:06 Turn it into a nice full 60 and get right back
1:53:09 in the game and flatline here takes the last four or five hills.
1:53:13 Devastating stuff and maybe Rock Lee is going to be
1:53:16 the guy to pay attention to for the map five.
1:53:18 He knows guys, he knows.
1:53:19 Look at the double flatline there.
1:53:20 That's very, very shocking.
1:53:21 That's two hard points where Heretics got zero and one second out of it.
1:53:25 Well, well, well, Firing search and destroy.
1:53:31 Two maps in a row for both of our squads.
1:53:33 We will see how this goes.
1:53:35 I have no idea what to expect here ladies and gentlemen.
1:53:37 Excited to see two superb squads go at it here
1:53:40 in search and destroy after the break boys and girls.
1:53:43 The Paris Legion mates, the Miami Heretics, game five.
1:53:47 Don't miss it.
1:54:07 Major 3 is going to be a classic.

1:55:16 [music] [music]
1:55:44 But early in our seventh circle here, there's still 30 teams left.
1:55:48 YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RESOURCES.
1:55:50 Get to the zone if you can.
1:55:52 When your gunfight may somehow sneak through,
1:55:54 you see a lone noob who's sprinting around like a chicken with his head cut off.
1:55:59 There are so many squads.
1:56:00 This is unprecedented.
1:56:01 Being able to see this from the codcaster is so special.
1:56:05 There's our first moving zone.
1:56:09 Oh my god.
1:56:11 BOTH PLAYERS ARE AT A standstill right NEXT
1:56:14 TO EACH OTHER AND THEY SPOT EACH OTHER.
1:56:16 SKETCH TRYING TO GET THAT YOU'RE A CHILD.
1:56:22 YOU'RE A CHILD.
1:56:24 YOU'RE A CHILD.
1:56:30 YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
1:56:32 YES.
1:56:32 DUBBLEY'S IN A TOP FIVE SKETCH DUBBLEY'S.
1:56:43 Obviously having a big performance there over at that train hill.
1:56:46 This guy is looking to finally really pick it up.
1:56:49 He's had a few slower maps, but I guess he's finally caught his bearings.
1:56:52 Now 16 and nine enforcing the issue on the mic.
1:56:56 He's inside OF THE BASE.
1:56:57 AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FIVE IN A ROW.
1:57:03 IT'S SIX FOR CAPSIDAL.
1:57:05 HE HAS WOKEN UP.
1:57:07 INTERRUPTING RIGHT NOW ON THE SUN LINERS.
1:57:10 MAKING EIGHT IN A ROW.
1:57:14 WELCOME TO THE eSports Report.
1:57:16 On this week's show, we cover the current Call of Duty standings.
1:57:27 [screaming] [screaming] [laughter] And for the first [music] time this season,
1:57:52 the Miami Heretics take on the Paris Legion Mates in a game of five.
1:57:55 They've only gone to four.
1:57:57 It's always been that way, chance uncharted terrain now.
1:58:00 Are we lost?
1:58:01 What do we do?
1:58:04 I mean, you know, you try to look
1:58:06 for the light and you just keep walking towards it, Miles.
1:58:08 Don't let [music] it be fooled.
1:58:10 Always seek that out.
1:58:11 And this one though,
1:58:12 neither of the teams in the map fives this year has been particularly dominant.
1:58:16 Keep in mind some of these map fives are
1:58:17 against some of the best teams in the game.
1:58:19 So, four and five, and a three and three, [music]
1:58:21 it might not look like anything crazy,
1:58:22 but both of these teams can bring the goods and that's D.
1:58:25 And for Paris especially, sort of their main focal point,
1:58:29 at least throughout this stage, is where they've seemed to have tumbled.
1:58:32 We already know Heretics always like to deliver, especially online.
1:58:36 So, I'm expecting this to be a heavy-hitting match up.
1:58:39 If you're following the light or if
1:58:41 you're following your nose, where to Gandalf?
1:58:45 Keep going.
1:58:46 Look for that win.
1:58:47 Look for the opportunity now.
1:58:48 And if you are at the Heretics or if you're Do
1:58:50 Paris Legion Mates on a map like Fringe force the initiative,
1:58:53 [music] force the play, take control and do what you want to do on the map.
1:58:59 Those rebounds in the mid-round adjustments are important.
1:59:02 Those opening hits here on Fringe so, so important.
1:59:05 Here we go, folks.
1:59:06 We're doing a lot more than touching grass in this series.
1:59:08 We're kicking ass, starting things off.
1:59:10 Heretics on attack.
1:59:12 See, talking about grass or in the mountains,
1:59:14 we're also banging out and I mean instant.
1:59:17 Guess who had more player for the fight?
1:59:18 It's Paris, already.
1:59:20 In a 4v2.
1:59:21 And you're trying to see if they can pull it back.
1:59:23 Ghosty's not going to check.
1:59:24 He's not going to dive that way, is he?
1:59:25 Watch out for the feet.
1:59:25 Watch out for the twinkle toes.
1:59:28 Super, I love the pre-aim there.
1:59:31 They're hoping for an aggressive hit here.
1:59:33 Heretics trying to pull something back.
1:59:35 It's not going to be an easy thing to do here.
1:59:37 This is a patient Paris.
1:59:39 It's also bombed out in the worst place for a guy with an M15 and a sniper.
1:59:44 going for it, though.
1:59:45 Ghosty was dancing, dodging snipes.
1:59:47 Nadeshot can't dodge it.
1:59:48 2v2.
1:59:49 MPC, Super.
1:59:52 WHAT A PULL THIS HAS BEEN.
1:59:54 An unfortunate move and I'm not sure what the 100% game plan was there,
1:59:58 but it doesn't matter.
1:59:59 It's a 1v1 and Envoy, ahaha, a flank and a shoulder spotted.
2:00:03 Rincon, spidey senses, nothing has tingled as of yet.
2:00:09 Avoid.
2:00:11 One more bullet is all that's needed.
2:00:12 Rincon lives.
2:00:16 And the Legionnaires have time on their side as well.
2:00:19 Dude, Envoy's too smart for this.
2:00:20 What a play.
2:00:21 I think Rincon played that perfectly
2:00:23 and Envoy is literally just built different.
2:00:27 Dylan Hannon, so smart.
2:00:29 A world champion.
2:00:32 A cerebral assassin.
2:00:36 Kudos to the Heretics.
2:00:37 They willed their way back from that early two-man deficit.
2:00:42 It Miles, if you remember LAT yesterday, when Craze clutched that 1v3,
2:00:46 Scump with a little bit of time on the clock,
2:00:48 ran the bomb out over towards A, but for Craze,
2:00:50 that's just an easy thing to go check it.
2:00:52 I feel like Brain pulled downloaded the patch notes and said, "I'm one shot.
2:00:56 He's going to expect me to go towards A now.
2:00:58 Let me play the corner like read it." But, Envoy again,
2:01:00 quite literally one of the smartest Call of Duty players of all time.
2:01:04 Just the double re-wrap coming through.
2:01:06 The first one might be a little bit predictable,
2:01:08 but Frank War wasn't, and the second one is just so annoying.
2:01:11 So annoying.
2:01:13 Surely, you showed your hand here on stream in front of the world.
2:01:19 Surely, you don't get to pull that trick off twice.
2:01:21 Well, we're close.
2:01:22 Neptune just caught Anas saw first blood.
2:01:35 You know, watch Envoy work here again.
2:01:37 We're hoping for someone to show a little too much,
2:01:40 and neither team willing to give it all up.
2:01:42 Heretics with a very slow crawl,
2:01:44 one step at a time through the middle of the map,
2:01:46 and Sib threads the needle onto Traiks.
2:01:56 What a snap.
2:01:57 Bomb down.
2:01:58 Sib swinging a miss.
2:01:59 Last man, 1v3.
2:02:01 What a collapse.
2:02:01 Heretics take over.
2:02:03 Oh, man.
2:02:04 Unlucky.
2:02:04 And, you know, if you want to circle back to mentioning how
2:02:06 good Neptune's shots were at long range with the MP C on Sake,
2:02:10 Envoy also hit some nice shots.
2:02:12 That is not an easy gun to control at range.
2:02:16 So, a good attempt there for the 3v4.
2:02:18 Sib certainly hits a wicked one, but with all said and done,
2:02:21 if Super's alive in SND, you have high expectations for them to win the round.
2:02:28 Couple of very different looks thus far.
2:02:33 I think both teams are more interested in the A bomb side plant,
2:02:36 but how the round wills it, you You know.
2:02:41 Super, once again, sniper in hand.
2:02:45 Will Neptune first blood again here?
2:02:48 If that shoulder is thrown, you are dead, bro.
2:02:54 [laughter] Close, nice shot.
2:02:59 Breaks done.
2:03:02 Going to get Sib out of here.
2:03:03 We're going to worry about that mid-map pressure.
2:03:05 I think we're going to smoke this.
2:03:06 No one's hitting those wall hops to just check this courtyard.
2:03:09 Breaks definitely heard the trophy.
2:03:12 And after that smoke clears, Envoy yeah, eyes on one.
2:03:14 A free and easy kill and the second just as simple.
2:03:17 Envoy, great round.
2:03:21 Breaks no sweat whatsoever 2v1.
2:03:26 1v3 attempt here for Rankor.
2:03:28 Has to go collect the bomb and again he
2:03:29 has an M-15 and these will be close quarters fights.
2:03:32 Ghosty and Sib getting together.
2:03:34 And arguably they both have M-15s as well.
2:03:37 Ghosty spots it.
2:03:39 I love this nade.
2:03:43 Was that M-15 I was talking about?
2:03:44 I think I meant VS Recon.
2:03:48 Damn good shot.
2:03:50 And Envoy basically single-handedly wins you that round.
2:03:53 His teammates follow up with the appropriate
2:03:55 execution and Rankor no time there to survive.
2:03:59 Bad situation but for Envoy just good trigger discipline and Breaks well,
2:04:04 probably going to check that close corner just for the intel but that smoke
2:04:07 of a distraction ends up hurting them more than it helped them.
2:04:15 2-1 in game five.
2:04:19 It's going to be a 3-1 split looking towards the A bomb site this time.
2:04:21 Again 2-2 here for the Heretics.
2:04:26 Split the difference and spread the map as evenly as they possibly can.
2:04:33 I think Neptune's going to jump in this window until somebody
2:04:36 moves up towards zig or if his teammates intend makes some noise,
2:04:39 he'll hit the go button.
2:04:39 Yeah, he has no help there.
2:04:40 If he starts to fight and doesn't win it instantly, he's definitely dead.
2:04:44 Shot from Sib.
2:04:46 Metals double dip.
2:04:47 And here we go.
2:04:48 Makes entry.
2:04:51 Stun check.
2:04:52 Nobody home.
2:04:53 Here's the bomb plant.
2:04:54 Lovely bounce there by the Paris gentlemen.
2:04:57 I love this out of Rambo.
2:05:00 First man on contact Sib calls out the pair of them,
2:05:02 but Super Snipe now being brought through the alleyway onto net.
2:05:05 The damage is sensational, but unable to capitalize on the kills,
2:05:07 and it's still Super finding them.
2:05:09 Ghosty has the mid doors, has the flank covered,
2:05:12 but this 2v2 is getting uncomfortable.
2:05:15 Look at this route from Trex, too.
2:05:16 Get towards the middle of the map with your back is turned,
2:05:18 Trex might have some freebies.
2:05:19 How good are the shots?
2:05:20 Good enough for two.
2:05:22 A heads-up play call in an atypical situation.
2:05:26 Trex doing things a little bit different.
2:05:31 Granny's boy from top grandma's.
2:05:35 Don't know what day Mother's Day is in Argentina.
2:05:39 He's probably sent a text.
2:05:40 He probably sent a message.
2:05:40 You never know.
2:05:42 He can get to here.
2:05:43 That is brilliant work.
2:05:48 Trex, what a splash he has made for the Heretics this season.
2:05:52 I took a play out of Envoy's book.
2:05:54 Envoy's playing in 10, by the way,
2:05:56 so with the trades that were going on in that back alley,
2:05:58 Envoy collects one from that back spot, and Trex wraps out towards mid.
2:06:02 So, once you clear out junk, I mean, Trex knows he has to clear it anyway,
2:06:05 so might as well go the entire way through.
2:06:08 Heads-up gameplay in the post plant.
2:06:10 Another 2-2 defensively.
2:06:13 Trex taking as much space of a map train as he can,
2:06:17 but yeah, he's totally alone here.
2:06:22 I mean, this is just a pressure check.
2:06:23 None of the gentlemen are moving.
2:06:26 Except for Envoy playing from inside the courtyard.
2:06:29 Sib with the sniper coverage.
2:06:30 A tight angle not working out there for Metals once again and Super.
2:06:34 Oh boy, nice nade and somehow dodges the snipe.
2:06:38 Uh only eating up the odds though,
2:06:39 three v three and if we're trying to work this over towards B,
2:06:42 Ghosty's still up top red, but they don't have any information.
2:06:45 Well, they got it now, up close and personal with the MP5.
2:06:48 Yeah, they're getting in there.
2:06:49 He's still getting tagged up from the back,
2:06:50 so not a perfect spot to be in now for the Heretics Super.
2:06:53 There we go.
2:06:54 Making mid map all the safer, Rencore finds two in the middle of main
2:06:59 street and all the clean up crew arrives.
2:07:02 Overwhelming force too, man.
2:07:03 Uh this is back-to-back rounds where Paris just gave up
2:07:06 a little bit of space on the map and Heretics capitalize immediately.
2:07:11 Breaks gets left open there from Drake's.
2:07:13 He hunts it down and I think Rencore probably hit some wicked shots.
2:07:17 Of course, the nade is well, just to make sure you get these trades, Envoy.
2:07:21 I mean, he was dealing with three players, still able to win his one,
2:07:25 but I think Rencore ends up popping off in that round.
2:07:28 Yeah, that's a a nice pop off.
2:07:33 Kentucky blue, you said.
2:07:35 Mhm.
2:07:36 It smells nice.
2:07:39 Advantage Heretics.
2:07:41 Bringing a two for the sprees and Drake's, Rencore, and Envoy.
2:07:45 We eats more of that frag than he wanted and Drake's is pushing it.
2:07:47 Drake's pushing it.
2:07:49 And that's right, lads, you did indeed forget the bomb.
2:07:51 Drake's checks Envoy there.
2:07:53 He checks him for the bomb for damn good reason.
2:07:56 Nobody home.
2:07:57 Four spree still continues.
2:08:00 You don't want to get sniped though,
2:08:00 so got to be a little bit careful playing back trains.
2:08:03 Meanwhile, well, Drake's his teammates do have this A site.
2:08:07 We're a long way away from the hellstorm, but on a four spree,
2:08:10 small consideration and Drake's doing the smart thing,
2:08:12 backing down, getting help from his teammates.
2:08:14 Drake's once again.
2:08:16 This small room.
2:08:18 In this square.
2:08:20 Ghosty can't go better with his life.
2:08:22 Drake's, the movement so beautiful.
2:08:27 Players are close.
2:08:28 Drake's continues.
2:08:30 Drake's hungry for it.
2:08:32 He [snorts] sends it forward.
2:08:36 Efficient, confident, decisive round from Miami.
2:08:41 And now confident play there here for Paris trying to solve this puzzle.
2:08:46 They are just being handed problem after problem.
2:08:49 Three B first blood as well is going to be painful.
2:08:53 It's a slow mantle but a quick kill
2:08:55 there from Drake's and obviously seems like this man played some
2:08:58 Black Ops 3 as well nearly replicating the ball run strat [laughter]
2:09:02 over that door.
2:09:03 So, showing off the goods.
2:09:07 Oh, 4-2.
2:09:11 A little bit of separation gained here.
2:09:15 It's a six spree for Drake's and it's 0-5 for Ghosty.
2:09:19 It's a tale of two very different players right now.
2:09:24 Drake's mid-map and the pinch watched.
2:09:26 Not a lot of movement here from Miami.
2:09:29 Hello.
2:09:30 Hello boys.
2:09:31 Oh, Rank close back and up.
2:09:32 Here comes the shuffle.
2:09:34 Heretics close ranks.
2:09:35 They give up everything in order to try to take the fight but no one's here.
2:09:39 That's a fantastic disappearing act.
2:09:40 They were going to get them with nades in a triple challenge.
2:09:42 So, Paris right now playing extremely well and their attack usage on point.
2:09:47 to play this courtyard so well.
2:09:49 It's going to be a 3-4 if they commit and no,
2:09:52 Heretics have backed up once again.
2:09:53 They're giving it up.
2:09:55 Ghosty on the jump check by Fance.
2:09:57 Got to watch out for Super.
2:09:58 He's spotted him out.
2:10:02 Transition towards the A bomb site now.
2:10:04 Drake's has made entry.
2:10:05 It's going to be a 1-1 against Sib.
2:10:08 One, Drake's finds it.
2:10:10 Looking for another on the spree.
2:10:12 Envoy's going to get away with his life
2:10:14 but you still got to consider the bomb plant.
2:10:17 Drake's yet again, the bulldozer here for the Heretics.
2:10:21 EIGHT SPREE STREAK DOWN AND HIS teammates are getting involved as well.
2:10:25 A disgusting round from Miami.
2:10:28 Match point.
2:10:29 And I listen I mean do I want to be the one to say it?
2:10:35 I guess this is what I get paid for.
2:10:37 I mean S&D has been a really big problem
2:10:39 for Paris throughout this stage and Sib for quite some time.
2:10:42 I think he's improved on it a bit,
2:10:43 but he's had one of the worst S&D KDs and he just wraps all
2:10:47 the way back in full send it into dubs with no information rolling through.
2:10:52 When you know Heretics were already wrapping back like
2:10:55 you're worried about Super sniping the middle of the map,
2:10:57 let alone the fact that you could have all the pressure in the world.
2:11:01 I mean Sib just not valuing his life
2:11:03 in the slightest cost his team there in that round.
2:11:05 Not at all.
2:11:06 Not at all.
2:11:07 H40 trades eight.
2:11:10 Hellstorm.
2:11:12 Definitely makes the B bomb side of pain in the ass, so we're about to find out.
2:11:15 We are going to try to close it out here.
2:11:20 Close them in.
2:11:21 Here comes the move from Miami and Super.
2:11:24 Uh he barely had to move an inch.
2:11:26 Instant kill on a Sib top granny's.
2:11:28 Yeah, tough first blood.
2:11:30 Found out two to junk.
2:11:31 Isolated, caught out,
2:11:32 wall banged rank core for two and Heretics put the emphatic stamp on the round.
2:11:38 Going to finish 2-3 in this split.
2:11:41 Continue their S&D destruction.
2:11:44 A little bit of that vamos love before Atlanta.
2:11:46 No, no, no, no, no, no.
2:11:47 Can we please see the final kill cam?
2:11:48 Please.
2:11:49 Super, what was that, my boy?
2:11:53 I just mean It's okay.
2:11:56 It was disgusting.
2:11:56 We have it.
2:11:57 It's disgusting.
2:11:57 It was disgusting.
2:11:58 [music] Damn, son.
2:12:00 Well, Miami, GGs.
2:12:02 Gentlemen's, our search and destroy was not it.
2:12:05 Ghosty on a donut.
2:12:08 Definitely hit the double 07 there.
2:12:10 Here we go.
2:12:11 Ghosty picks up the snipe.
2:12:14 Oh, baby.
2:12:16 And like that, the gentlemen mates are gone.
2:12:20 Super nine and three.
2:12:22 Drake's nine and three on the eight spree as well.
2:12:26 Under the coverage of the hellstorm, slammed them.
2:12:28 Six two final score there in the fifth.
2:12:31 Yeah, go see a protege of octane, so not ideal there.
2:12:36 Not sure how often James Bond was rocking a sniper rifle,
2:12:38 but certainly ended his life there
2:12:40 in that final round and for Paris Legion mates,
2:12:43 my mind maybe the worst or one of the worst things we
2:12:45 just saw from this series was the player cams after the loss.
2:12:49 Not a single verb being spoken.
2:12:53 That did not look like a good vibe
2:12:54 from the camp and he knocked this Paris Legion mates team.
2:12:57 It's not just about Atlanta.
2:12:59 We got a an event going over to Paris
2:13:02 as well for a fan base that is extraordinarily crazy.
2:13:06 This is a team that I think is going
2:13:07 to be feeling a ton of pressure come Friday.
2:13:10 Pressure, pressure, pressure desk, what do you think?
2:13:13 I think we have a new pick ems champion.
2:13:17 Oh yeah, come on, crown me there.
2:13:18 Yep.
2:13:19 The year is not even over.
2:13:20 Oh no, [laughter] I'm not I'm not giving this this lead away.
2:13:23 He's wearing the new crown.
2:13:24 Congratulations on the Heretics pick.
2:13:27 Drake's you said though is that guy.
2:13:29 100% He is a superstar.
2:13:31 As we take a look at some of the highlights here,
2:13:33 what makes this Argentinian so special?
2:13:36 Bro, Drake's is ridiculous and I know a lot of you guys watch this map.
2:13:40 You see Drake's run around, find these kills, you're like,
2:13:42 oh he's just cracked SMG, but [music] it's the way that he's doing it.
2:13:45 He's getting so much information for his team and his intuition is next level.
2:13:50 Like there's so many rounds like, okay, we're wrapping over towards A.
2:13:52 I'm going to clear this back alley and [music] back this guy
2:13:55 all the way up and then I'm going to go into the bottom.
2:13:56 They're probably going to be trying to pinch or get a different angle,
2:13:58 so I'm going to check that as well.
2:14:00 He clears all the ground.
2:14:01 Like he has such a good instinct for where players
2:14:04 are going to be and when they are going to challenge.
2:14:06 You know, his anticipation was a skill that we
2:14:08 used to praise people for back in the day.
2:14:10 You know, Scump being one of the guys with one
2:14:12 of the greatest anticipation [music] that we've ever seen.
2:14:14 Drake's has traits like that, right?
2:14:16 Where he just knows where people are going to be at.
2:14:18 And this round in particular, probably the most impressive.
2:14:20 Peaks all of them trains, gives it up slightly to make it think like,
2:14:23 "Okay, I'm rotating." Then they start to get aggressive.
2:14:26 Well, [music] he re-positions mid,
2:14:27 and he finds a slippery guy mid for the free kill.
2:14:30 And at that point, they just won the round.
2:14:32 It's wrapped up all through Drake's.
2:14:34 What he does for this team is unbelievable.
2:14:36 1-2 to then 5-2, and eventually 6-2 with the snipe from Super.
2:14:42 Ali, a very impressive finish from Heretics.
2:14:44 Are you worried about your gentle mates being mental boomed after that L?
2:14:49 Being mental boomed, yes.
2:14:50 But I think they're not really in a different spot
2:14:52 than they have been in the past couple of weeks.
2:14:54 I mean, that was a banger of a series through through.
2:14:56 And even like going and watching the maps that they lost,
2:14:58 the first two, it was like it was in their hands.
2:15:00 You go back to round 11, YOU'RE LIKE,
2:15:02 "WHY are we all funneling TO ONE?" DON'T GET ME started on that one.
2:15:06 You go back to the hard point, you know,
2:15:07 there's very glaring obviouses of like, "How Miami's really good at P3s.
2:15:11 You guys didn't send enough people here." So like,
2:15:13 it's all problems that are very easily identifiable.
2:15:15 I am losing my vision due to this migraine.
2:15:17 So we're going to go to the Scump play of the game,
2:15:18 and I'm going to close my eyes while Ant
2:15:20 tells me exactly what went down during this Drake's moment.
2:15:24 Yes, a visual aid to what I was talking about.
2:15:26 So, you know, this is one of those rounds where he's just,
2:15:28 you know, taking over Well, I think this is the start of the streak.
2:15:30 Yeah, he's taking over trains, finds a huge kill, and then he's baiting them in.
2:15:34 Okay.
2:15:34 All right, you guys are trains.
2:15:35 I'm going to use this time while you
2:15:37 push train to get the other guy that's pinching,
2:15:39 finds a kill mid, and then he re-positions
2:15:41 and finds another world star over the fence.
2:15:44 Like, he just knows where people are going to be at, and he uses the timings
2:15:48 on the map perfectly to go on this nine streak to close out the game.
2:15:51 I did feel like watching this French Miami has a really good grasp of just
2:15:54 the angles and making sure that they're always
2:15:56 close enough to play off of [music] each other.
2:15:58 Always close enough to help each other the second something's in comms,
2:16:01 and that's going to be something really difficult to play up against
2:16:03 as we head into major next week with this in the map pool.
2:16:06 So, big picture, Miami is now going to finish
2:16:09 as like one of those third teams in a pool.
2:16:11 Second place probably finish for Gentlemen mates with a three and two record.
2:16:15 Yeah.
2:16:16 They're no longer going to have the top seed.
2:16:18 So, are we giving the top seeds to LA Thieves and Coi?
2:16:20 Coi still in business later today.
2:16:22 Yeah, they got C9.
2:16:23 Coi probably wrapped that one up pretty easy, put themselves in a good spot.
2:16:26 And yeah, LA Thieves, I think what they're three and three and one,
2:16:29 they have a loss to Carolina.
2:16:30 Yeah, they're three and one.
2:16:31 They'll round out our top seeds.
2:16:32 All right, so the standings are still to come.
2:16:34 We'll also have a Monster winner spotlight with a Miami Heretic member.
2:16:38 If you were to crown an MVP on the day, I know Tricks had a big game five.
2:16:42 Who was Mr.
2:16:42 Consistent across all five?
2:16:44 Yeah, I mean, I think in the first couple of maps,
2:16:45 Rencore had a great performance, especially that map number one.
2:16:49 So, yeah, I mean, I'd probably I'd probably give it to Tricks cuz game
2:16:51 five is all that matters realistically and he took over in in game five.
2:16:55 My MVP goes by the name of Metals
2:16:57 and he joins us in the Monster winner spotlight.
2:17:00 Metals, I used to call you the X factor,
2:17:01 the guy who could light fire and just absolutely burn down opponents.
2:17:05 Your whole team seems to be catching fire,
2:17:08 but also sizzling out in matches like G2's.
2:17:11 What happened in the win today against the Gentlemen mates?
2:17:14 How did you walk away with this finish?
2:17:17 I mean, we just came out hot today,
2:17:19 like the last matches, we weren't like ourselves,
2:17:22 but we we we we have been like practicing
2:17:24 really good and it show it show up today, so.
2:17:28 [music] Yeah.
2:17:28 Yeah, Metals, your guys game is trending.
2:17:29 It looks really good.
2:17:30 Uh and you guys figured out your overload to start this stage.
2:17:33 It's been, you know, pretty solid,
2:17:34 but it's gotten away from you the last couple series.
2:17:36 What needs to be cleaned up there to make this long run at DreamHack Atlanta?
2:17:41 Um I think we have to pick up like
2:17:43 the correct lane sometimes because sometimes we like to sprint forward,
2:17:47 but besides that, I think we're like good on the on the overload.
2:17:51 How do you How do you balance that?
2:17:52 Cuz I remember talking to you guys after the minor
2:17:54 and you said or it was Super and he was like,
2:17:56 "We don't have set roles defensively.
2:17:57 We kind of just take space." But in games
2:18:00 like this where you're playing another very quality opponent,
2:18:03 those rounds and those situations can get away from you a bit.
2:18:06 So, how do you balance like playing aggressive,
2:18:08 but also like getting together and helping each other?
2:18:11 Well, we we realized that what Subliners did not work at the beginning,
2:18:15 so we have put some some rules now.
2:18:17 Yeah.
2:18:18 And now we are not playing it, so Absolutely.
2:18:20 Yeah.
2:18:21 Matters, I think the most impressive thing for me
2:18:22 this entire split has been y'all's search and destroy.
2:18:24 I mean, it is impeccable.
2:18:26 And we got to see it in this series.
2:18:28 I want to ask you about Plaza a little bit here.
2:18:30 Is there a little bit of a lightness to playing that map
2:18:33 just because of way the way it has to play out,
2:18:36 the bang outs, you know, the strats?
2:18:38 Is there maybe a little of little bit
2:18:40 of lot of pressure playing a map like that?
2:18:43 I mean, I think the map suits us really well.
2:18:46 I would say that we are a team that loves to challenge the other team, so Right.
2:18:50 [laughter] Having a map that it's like banging all the time the same bomb,
2:18:53 it's like good for us, so we love Plaza, yeah.
2:18:56 Excited to see you next week in Atlanta, man.
2:18:58 Congratulations on your win tonight.
2:19:00 Thank you.
2:19:00 See you in Atlanta, guys.

2:21:47 Yo, that was Beautiful by Ant.
2:21:49 for the Falcons.
2:21:50 I don't think they're starting to figure it out.
2:21:51 And you know what?
2:21:52 That ain't going to show up on the scoreboard.
2:21:54 Good boy.
2:21:55 Here you see L Triggered merch there for two.
2:21:57 They just broke the hill basically.
2:21:59 They find themselves killed.
2:22:00 This is perfect.
2:22:00 Just funnel them green.
2:22:01 We have this grandma rotation.
2:22:03 10 seconds left.
2:22:04 Great out.
2:22:06 Oh my god, here we go they got the stack.
2:22:09 Second tick is done.
2:22:10 PHASE TRYING TO GO.
2:22:11 IT'S MOVING so quickly.
2:22:12 Can they get in the contest?
2:22:13 THEY'RE SOARING THROUGH.
2:22:15 IT'S JUST ABOUT DONE.
2:22:16 THE CONTEST IS IN.
2:22:17 SHOTZZY KILLS EVERYBODY IN FRONT OF THEM, BUT PHASE TRYING TO GET IN.
2:22:21 CAN THEY GET A POINT MAN?
2:22:22 HERE WE GO.
2:22:22 GOT A HOLD with no response.
2:22:24 THEY'RE HOLDING FOR NOW.
2:22:25 THEY WIN ONE.
2:22:27 NOBODY LEFT.
2:22:28 PHASE HOLD WITH NO RESPONSE REMAINING.
2:22:43 [music] I'm a big stepper [music] when I walk, money maker when I talk.
2:23:03 Another boy is on a mission, never put him in a box.
2:23:05 Going to the top, jaws open while they watch.
2:23:08 Yeah, I'm getting to the chicken.
2:23:09 I ain't never been a I'm the life of the party, know it's going down.
2:23:13 If they want to talk about me, I'mma tell them how.
2:23:16 I'mma tell them, I'mma tell them, I'mma tell them, I'mma tell them,
2:23:18 I'mma Everybody [music] want to be like me,
2:23:21 fast lane, steady whipping two doors off me.
2:23:24 Everybody want to be like me, [music]
2:23:26 but that's something that they never going to be.
2:23:32 G2 Minnesota, always a threat,
2:23:35 but not on the podium [music] in the last few years.
2:23:38 They're looking to climb there at some point in Black Ops 7,
2:23:41 and today you're taking on a squad that is [music] quickly arising.
2:23:44 You You an LA Thieves team that has beaten you three times already.
2:23:48 It's a 9-1 map count and your KD a .82 [music] versus a 1.18 from Thieves.
2:23:54 So, let's start with G2.
2:23:56 What's been looking good lately cuz the numbers
2:23:58 do not look good coming into this
2:24:00 What's been looking good lately is a tough question.
2:24:02 Wait, I got one.
2:24:03 Because they just lost to Boston.
2:24:06 All right.
2:24:06 And they lost two SNDs.
2:24:07 So, what do you think?
2:24:08 Go ahead.
2:24:08 What's been looking good?
2:24:09 say their Overload is looking a little bit better right now.
2:24:11 They're coming off of two Overload wins
2:24:13 and they were on like a four loss streak.
2:24:15 Like their respawn isn't that bad.
2:24:16 I mean, you do look at that Boston series
2:24:17 and you're like they do lose the map one, but it was by like three points.
2:24:20 Then they go to the map four and they almost 100 point club them.
2:24:23 Moral victories out of a Boston loss is crazy.
2:24:26 No, no, no.
2:24:26 I'm not moral victorying.
2:24:27 I'm just saying, you know, you [music] actually said this before.
2:24:30 Sometimes when you start trending better in a specific direction,
2:24:32 you're going to lose some ground in other areas.
2:24:35 G2 in that Boston series clearly felt like
2:24:37 they lost some ground in Search and Destroy.
2:24:39 But it also could have just been a bad day.
2:24:40 But where I'm looking for improvement in this G2 team is on the new maps.
2:24:44 I mean, you're talking about a team that in the three new SNDs,
2:24:47 Fringe, Grid, and Plaza, 0-1.
2:24:49 So, they only played one Fringe.
2:24:50 And you talk about the new Hardpoints, Socc and Gridlock combined 0-3.
2:24:53 So, how are we going to make a deep run
2:24:55 into a tournament if we're not even playing the new maps,
2:24:58 let alone winning them at all?
2:25:00 So, yeah, problems on the side of G2.
2:25:02 It just seems like they're desperate for points
2:25:04 and haven't played many of the new ones.
2:25:05 All right.
2:25:05 G2 still looking for points.
2:25:07 Meanwhile, you have Thieves looking for a trophy at Major 3.
2:25:10 Are they in position to do so after adding Neim after Major 1?
2:25:14 We thought so until they ran into the Carolina Royal Ravens.
2:25:17 And honestly, a testament to Carolina,
2:25:20 they looked [music] fantastic in that series.
2:25:22 They did.
2:25:22 So, like I It's really not a knock too much on LA,
2:25:25 but it is still like, okay, you're not [music] in dominance mode just yet.
2:25:29 Like we have other teams, OpTic Texas,
2:25:31 that are going perfect and you're falling to a team like Carolina online.
2:25:34 So, that causes some worry,
2:25:36 but generally before that, their Search and Destroy looked incredible.
2:25:39 You could tell the work that they had put into that specific game mode.
2:25:42 [music] And their respawn has been strong regardless,
2:25:44 and you obviously are getting a lot more
2:25:46 participation out of a Beazy with this new meta.
2:25:48 And so they look like a team that will contend for a Sunday next week.
2:25:52 agree with a lot of what Ali just said.
2:25:53 I mean, really in the series we just saw,
2:25:55 they lost two SNDs, fell back into old bad habits a little bit,
2:25:57 and they're playing Raid a lot now because they
2:25:59 want to expand their map pool for the major.
2:26:01 They've They're one of one [music] in the map has been a map that they've liked.
2:26:04 They're going to have it again here, so clearly testing that.
2:26:07 I think the one thing that they probably
2:26:08 liked back from [music] yesterday's series was the Colossus.
2:26:11 You know, that's a map that they have liked, and you know, as of late,
2:26:14 Carolina have become one of the better Colossus
2:26:16 teams that we have in the [music] league.
2:26:17 So for LA, I don't think that series loss was that bad for them.
2:26:20 Let's take a look at our standings here as we head into Major 3.
2:26:23 Just two matches remain,
2:26:24 [music] and you can see the teams lit up will be involved.
2:26:28 This is G2 currently in 11th with an opportunity to go up to 10th [music] place.
2:26:33 And of course, you have Cloud9 still in the mix where they're looking
2:26:37 to make a three-way tie at one and four if things go wrong.
2:26:41 Yeah, I don't think Cloud9 will beat Toronto, but [music] there is a world
2:26:44 I mean I mean and I don't even think if G2 win
2:26:47 this they move up cuz they lose to the head-to-head to Boston, right?
2:26:50 Oh, you're right.
2:26:51 [music] Yeah, the big thing for three-way tie
2:26:53 They'd have another win though, so yes, they would.
2:26:55 The biggest thing for G2 is they need points though.
2:26:57 I mean, they're still on [music] that bubble with all those teams, right?
2:27:00 It could come down to it when we get to the end of Stage 4.
2:27:02 All these matches are important, and you want to have some,
2:27:05 you know, some hype going into the major.
2:27:06 So this is a huge match up against a team that is definitely
2:27:09 contending for a Vibes are so high on this side of LA though.
2:27:12 Jesus, you see those player games?
2:27:14 They are giggling and kicking their feet.
2:27:15 That's crazy.
2:27:16 [music] Meanwhile, we've got our maps and modes.
2:27:18 Gridlock, Raid, Exposure your first three.
2:27:20 We'll close it out with Colossus Hardpoint
2:27:22 and Gridlock Search for a game number [music] five.
2:27:25 With Scump and SlasheR banned out,
2:27:27 who has the advantage on Gridlock and Colossus Hardpoint?
2:27:30 [music] I mean, Thieves are going to like this layout.
2:27:33 I mean, aside from the Raid, which they're obviously testing.
2:27:36 So yeah, I mean, it's going to lean towards [music] Thieves when
2:27:38 you talk about the 9 and 1 map count they have against them.
2:27:41 But the biggest thing on the side of G2
2:27:43 is in this particular series Estreal has been nothing.
2:27:46 I mean a 0.75 across the three series that they've had.
2:27:49 Estreal's been his game has been trending if you're looking for positives.
2:27:52 He has to play well today and they might have a better shot.
2:27:55 We have a new pick'em leader on the season as the returning champion from 2025.
2:28:01 Though I would like to go first and say LA.
2:28:03 Yeah, me too.
2:28:04 LA.
2:28:07 I'm guessing.
2:28:08 Does this work?
2:28:08 Is this Yeah.
2:28:10 All righty, it's all locked in.
2:28:12 Last time we all went LA.
2:28:13 Carolina Royal Ravens handed them a loss.
2:28:16 On the mic, we've got Miles and Chance.
2:28:19 And Miles, I got to go but I just got to say godspeed.
2:28:22 Best of luck.
2:28:23 We'll miss you and I Hannah, buddy.
2:28:25 Thanks, man.
2:28:25 See you soon.
2:28:26 See you on the other side, Chris.
2:28:28 He's going to the bathroom for a week.
2:28:30 That's what's going on that.
2:28:31 Okay, folks, time to get into Gridlock.
2:28:33 Not to be confused with Grimlock who is the leader of the Dinobots.
2:28:38 Very important distinction we're going to make
2:28:40 early on in this match up, friends.
2:28:41 [music] Charlie Chance, LA Thieves don't throw two series back-to-back, right?
2:28:47 Thanks.
2:28:47 Thank god you clarified that, Miles.
2:28:49 And I don't know if Miles throw.
2:28:51 I think you know, that's brought up some good points about,
2:28:54 you know, trying some new maps.
2:28:55 Raid [music] is 14 years old.
2:28:57 So Getting new maps in mix and getting repetitions on them, right?
2:29:01 I think LA Thieves been spamming a little bit of Gridlock.
2:29:04 They've been spamming a little bit of Raid.
2:29:05 So really trying [music] to develop their game as much as they can.
2:29:09 I think Gridlock has been I like What's the phrasing?
2:29:13 Maybe not necessarily the most interesting map we've
2:29:15 had since we saw it in Black Ops 4,
2:29:17 but it definitely has an extremely unique dynamic amongst all
2:29:21 the hard point maps where every rotation is incredibly important.
2:29:25 I think P2 especially has really been a big
2:29:28 signal of like you need to get there first.
2:29:30 Spawns can be tricky.
2:29:31 You've also got to be watching these pinches, Skyz.
2:29:33 Right now, on point.
2:29:35 Yeah, perfect.
2:29:36 Absolutely perfect.
2:29:37 Hydra's about to fly around that corner.
2:29:39 And get smacked.
2:29:41 Didn't see that coming.
2:29:42 Well played, G2.
2:29:43 This is a wicked start for a team that's two and oh.
2:29:48 Okay, Abezy's back and that's your hard point.
2:29:50 Yeah, immediate bounce back.
2:29:51 Didn't even have to use our nades too much to get that back through.
2:29:54 Just a nice execution.
2:29:55 But we are already starting this P2 fight.
2:29:57 G2, they are chalking up all this time just to win
2:30:01 this rotation and I mean that is your sort of key to success.
2:30:04 It's going to be absolute stand-off battle to make it happen.
2:30:07 NEAM kicks it off with some wicked shots.
2:30:09 And you got Abezy hunting players down in the back line.
2:30:12 You got first blooded on the map and then converted it back into a five spree.
2:30:16 So, Abezy might get streaked out if he can collect
2:30:18 this time and LAT looking to run it up on P2.
2:30:22 Yeah, it's a nice five.
2:30:23 It's a nice hold.
2:30:25 We'll check in with Abezy in a second
2:30:26 and see how those uh streak the accumulation is going.
2:30:30 Meanwhile, Scrappy finding those kills.
2:30:31 It's going to be the right hand side of the mini map with the pinches on Abe.
2:30:34 So close, yet so far.
2:30:35 Taking it all back.
2:30:36 He's just taken care of Kreme and that is the hellstorm in the 2020 league.
2:30:40 Yeah, Scrappy is on point there as well.
2:30:42 Winning uh two different gunfights to watch the pinch zone.
2:30:44 Now for LAT, all guns forward.
2:30:46 Overwhelmed though is NEAM and Hydra.
2:30:48 One HP, but they allow him to live.
2:30:51 And while one pump that good enough, the team shots even better.
2:30:54 So, G2 Minnesota lose the rotation battle,
2:30:57 but then do the more difficult thing and it is bullet LA's bullying, excuse me.
2:31:01 LAT through the front.
2:31:02 Looks like Accuracy is going to lose the time, but for the final 12,
2:31:05 you trade that away to win the rotation towards P3.
2:31:08 They are currently surrounded.
2:31:10 You make your way to the onset first,
2:31:12 you're able to set yourself up for success.
2:31:14 Oh, you only lose one side of the fight.
2:31:16 You still have another player to contend with.
2:31:18 So, three to the left, one to the right.
2:31:20 Stuck in the middle with you.
2:31:21 Skyz keeps his spree alive.
2:31:23 Kreme's tight corner works out.
2:31:24 Woah, good damage on the next.
2:31:26 Skyz now still trying to go.
2:31:28 Contest done for a second.
2:31:30 You know exactly where the teams are coming from, but Abezy
2:31:32 has played this plan so slowly and so patiently,
2:31:34 he might be able to get involved, too.
2:31:35 Here we go.
2:31:36 Abe down.
2:31:37 Two on a time.
2:31:38 The battle continues.
2:31:39 Yeah, heads-up gameplay though for Abezy just to force
2:31:42 those spawns to be a little bit further out, so allowing his team to fight.
2:31:46 Still going to be an absolute dog fight on the time though.
2:31:48 Skys is good for two and Skys rocking the MPC on it as well.
2:31:52 So, an interesting attempt there for the setup for LA Thieves,
2:31:55 but ultimately G2 able to build or battle back, excuse me.
2:32:00 Uh full man wipe.
2:32:01 15 seconds left on this time.
2:32:03 The rotation, it looks like G2 going to stay ahead
2:32:05 of the game unless Scump can defend them all off.
2:32:08 It's just Skys bueno kicking ass.
2:32:11 That's pretty still good.
2:32:13 Hold them down.
2:32:13 You've got the lead now, G2.
2:32:15 Skys on a five spree.
2:32:17 Good stuff, mate.
2:32:17 Oh, boy, another from Mamba there.
2:32:19 His MPC starting to get going.
2:32:21 Skys to mid.
2:32:22 It's a six.
2:32:22 It's No need.
2:32:25 Cream picks it up.
2:32:26 Good shot, Skys.
2:32:27 Gets a hellstorm of his own.
2:32:29 Yeah, great trades as well,
2:32:30 so the teamwork on form and Skys just looking around like this guy is easy.
2:32:33 I like the MPC.
2:32:34 Let me do more of this.
2:32:35 And then Nades on point as well.
2:32:38 Skys right now has the vision.
2:32:40 How good are those glasses?
2:32:41 Yeah, he's disgusting.
2:32:43 It's eight.
2:32:45 And he's seeing the next lot.
2:32:46 What are you going to do?
2:32:47 Going to do it.
2:32:48 Do it when I do it.
2:32:50 Hydra.
2:32:51 Finally gets to takes care of business.
2:32:53 But what a what a quick lead.
2:32:55 What a hold.
2:32:55 What a lead, G2.
2:32:58 Oh, lordy.
2:32:59 Estreal and Cream find two each and the hard point's yours yet again.
2:33:03 Yeah, not too shabby.
2:33:04 And LAT when all is said and done, it really only had success on P2.
2:33:08 Otherwise, G2 Minnesota right now in final form.
2:33:12 And if you win this rotation to P1,
2:33:14 and this is a map where you do have to rotate towards P1,
2:33:17 that means Skys gets to hold onto this hellstorm.
2:33:20 And actually, it's going to be Abezy to call his in.
2:33:22 so maybe a call and response hellstorm battle here.
2:33:24 We'll see how G2 respond.
2:33:25 Well, as strong Crump each win their individual gun fights,
2:33:29 so this is going to be a problem for LAT from the jump.
2:33:31 There's so many players getting out.
2:33:33 Yeah, here he comes right on the volley off the bounce.
2:33:36 And there's a lot more Thieves players, you know,
2:33:37 grouped together in the middle of the map.
2:33:39 Crump and Mama find their respective kills.
2:33:41 There's one, so this hellstorm far more effective.
2:33:44 Curves it on the inside of showers there, no good.
2:33:47 But hardpoint once again in the hands of G2.
2:33:50 Yeah, Skyz out here playing chess.
2:33:51 And he's playing cards, he's doing a lot of things, multi-talented man.
2:33:54 Crump has a hellstorm as well in the back
2:33:56 pocket cuz he's been collecting his five, now six streak.
2:33:59 You expect him to get the trades cuz when he's in flow state,
2:34:02 not too many like him.
2:34:04 And then he shuts him down.
2:34:05 Couldn't quite hit the pop off, but the attempt was there.
2:34:07 Crump was pissing in mid map.
2:34:11 Lovely work, 13 and 9.
2:34:14 Thieves, what happened, guys?
2:34:15 You're going real quiet here on Gridlock.
2:34:17 Not to be confused with Grimlock, the leader of the Dinobots.
2:34:27 Estreal still holding down the back.
2:34:30 As G2 have walked their way over to P2 yet again.
2:34:36 See that flowing in from Hydra, by the way.
2:34:37 M15 off spawn cuz you know he's if he's breaking through the front,
2:34:40 you want that type of weapon, so heads up game playing that capacity.
2:34:44 They get 50 point game, so it's good to see G2 with Ben.
2:34:47 And LAT still here for the fight, so is Estreal.
2:34:50 Nope.
2:34:50 Now it looks like they're going to clean house.
2:34:51 So yeah, instant call in response.
2:34:53 Minnesota playing extraordinary Call of Duty.
2:34:55 Estreal has a hellstorm as well.
2:34:56 You get a hellstorm.
2:34:58 Crump's got a hellstorm.
2:34:59 Skyz had a hellstorm.
2:35:00 And you know what, Crump?
2:35:01 You might be able to get another one.
2:35:02 Why not?
2:35:03 Three dead.
2:35:03 What the Thieves, WHERE ARE YOU AT?
2:35:06 DONDE ESTA?
2:35:08 Walk on the sky.
2:35:10 Thieves, nowhere to be found.
2:35:12 On towards the rotation, and you've got one man in position.
2:35:15 Two now from G2 on the attack.
2:35:17 Hydra should be good for this flank.
2:35:18 Uh-oh.
2:35:19 He ain't good for nothing.
2:35:20 He gets picked up.
2:35:21 Oh boy, we are going back over showers yet again.
2:35:25 And the onset Oh, no.
2:35:27 This is me crap.
2:35:28 Another perfect mate.
2:35:30 Slow that player down.
2:35:31 On time Astral makes it.
2:35:32 The kills are good.
2:35:33 Astral hard point G2 yet again.
2:35:37 I mean GG got them out too.
2:35:38 You just have so many health zones right now for a Minnesota.
2:35:41 I don't think there's anything LAT can do to win this game.
2:35:44 This is unbelievable.
2:35:45 G2 still rocking.
2:35:46 You know what?
2:35:47 Let's go over listening with the Thieves and see how it sounds.
2:35:50 I'm on the top.
2:35:50 I got a guy top.
2:35:51 I saw one I saw one behind.
2:35:52 We got we got I saw one top right now.

2:36:06 Yeah.
2:36:06 I'm going to I'm going to go ahead and come to you.
2:36:08 You start tightening up to each other.
2:36:09 Play together.
2:36:09 Yeah, yeah.
2:36:10 You need it.
2:36:11 Nice support.
2:36:12 I'm staying on top.
2:36:12 I saw one up here.

2:36:36 One is going to be four.
2:36:36 Okay.
2:36:37 Let me show you your front.
2:36:38 There's only one.
2:36:39 I got one right front.
2:36:39 That's the only guy that spawned here.
2:36:40 Only one.
2:36:41 Yo, two guys left.
2:36:42 I got one top.
2:36:42 It's top right now.
2:36:43 I'm going to get back top.
2:36:44 Heard you.

2:36:48 Nading nading front door right I got one front door.
2:36:50 I'm on the top.
2:36:51 See him one shot on top.
2:36:51 Learn your bullets.
2:36:52 Close close your calling.
2:36:53 No, he ran out the front door.
2:36:55 Went back in.
2:36:56 Went back in.
2:36:56 I saw him deep.
2:36:57 We We need to break for this.
2:36:58 No, this one.
2:36:59 We have to break for this.
2:37:00 Now come back top.
2:37:00 Search your top.
2:37:01 I'm top.
2:37:02 Yo, back door top.
2:37:03 Back door top.
2:37:04 No, we need it.
2:37:04 Back door top.
2:37:05 There's two.
2:37:07 I've seen enough.
2:37:07 Skyz is amazing.
2:37:09 He's amazing.
2:37:10 24/11.
2:37:11 Just under a minute of hardpoint time.
2:37:12 Discuss.
2:37:14 Yeah, it's just devastating, man.
2:37:15 Once LAT maybe can get momentum for this comeback,
2:37:18 he just rips a three-piece down low with the MP
2:37:21 C and he has been the purveyor of this new SMG.
2:37:25 It's still a situation where you got all the hellstorms
2:37:27 in the back pocket if you even need it with G2 Minnesota.
2:37:30 Certainly do not.
2:37:32 Havok goes on a five and he gets shot
2:37:33 in the back and maybe mama pump the brakes.
2:37:36 Someone's calling in the hellstorm.
2:37:37 It's Estreal, sir.
2:37:38 It's Estreal.
2:37:39 He has a hellstorm.
2:37:39 What time is it now?
2:37:41 You've got another shot at it.
2:37:42 Good lord, seems like What do you mean he has a hellstorm?
2:37:44 What do you mean another?
2:37:46 What do you mean?
2:37:47 That's right, Estreal.
2:37:48 Gives Scrappy 21st to death.
2:37:51 Gives Hydra his 22nd.
2:37:54 And we may as well close it out here, boys.
2:37:55 We are shoulder to shoulder on time.
2:37:58 Sky's, what a performance he has had on this map.
2:38:01 That is all dead.
2:38:03 That is game.
2:38:04 G2 Minnesota have locked it down on Gridlock.
2:38:11 It's a bit of a wild and G2 Minnesota might be the most difficult team
2:38:15 to predict and that is also an extremely
2:38:18 rare double negative performance there out of Scrappy.
2:38:21 You only have to call it out because it happens once in a blue moon.
2:38:25 Maybe not even that, maybe once a year.
2:38:27 So, yeah, Sky's [music] absolutely brings the goods.
2:38:30 So does Scrappy.
2:38:31 Estreal gets I mean everything just went right.
2:38:34 Everything went right start to finish except that first P2 rotation.
2:38:38 Other than that, [music] Minnesota bringing the goods today.
2:38:41 I mean, as good as it could possibly have gotten there.
2:38:44 Uh, we'll have a quick look at the stats.
2:38:47 [music] But again, Sky's putting in the work.
2:38:49 Krem as well, wicked damage.
2:38:51 Everyone really pulling their weight.
2:38:53 Very, very strong performance out of Estreal as well.
2:38:55 21 and 14, two minutes of hill time as well.
2:38:58 Wow, brilliant stuff there on Gridlock.
2:39:00 Oh, I'm so sorry.
2:39:01 Gridlock, that's the leader of the Dinobots.
2:39:03 I'm so sorry.
2:39:04 I meant Gridlock chance.
2:39:05 You mean Krem block, I believe, right?
2:39:07 Oh, Kremp lock.
2:39:08 Yeah, I'm updating.
2:39:09 Is it the new map?
2:39:10 I'm kidding.
2:39:10 I take it back.
2:39:11 It's a lie.
2:39:11 I'm not doing it.
2:39:12 Yeah, my bad.
2:39:12 My bad.
2:39:13 Okay, my bad.
2:39:13 Sorry.
2:39:13 Sorry.
2:39:13 Sorry.
2:39:14 Highlights, map one.
2:39:16 Yeah, Bueno absolutely cooking here in what some people call sushi.
2:39:21 Great stuff though.
2:39:22 And again, Hellstorm's all [music] looking pretty solid.
2:39:24 No no bad looks whatsoever there.
2:39:26 Everyone dealing damage.
2:39:27 It was the counter Hellstorm play.
2:39:30 [music] Of course, Abesy's early success absolutely negated by that.
2:39:32 So, again, super strong work out of G12, a very very well-rounded effort.
2:39:37 And a big GG's.
2:39:37 I would be hesitant to challenge them on this map after seeing that.
2:39:41 Honestly.
2:39:42 But then I'm not a pro player on a team in the CDL.
2:39:45 Fair enough.
2:39:45 Fair enough.
2:39:46 I think people will be squaring up
2:39:47 with them again [music] just a singular map there,
2:39:49 but nonetheless an interesting one.
2:39:51 Got to keep it in mind as things move forward.
2:39:54 Miles, I don't know if you saw the breaking point
2:39:56 graphic that got dropped [music] just a few days ago,
2:39:59 but Kremp is winless against LAT.
2:40:03 I don't know if you saw that and took it as extra motivation,
2:40:05 but clearly coming to play today.
2:40:07 Hey, that is a big one, man.
2:40:09 I think at some point I know our competitors know a lot of these things.
2:40:13 You have a kind of tax it like a deep understanding of like, "Damn,
2:40:15 I actually haven't beat those guys yet." I have a strong feeling
2:40:19 that definitely sparked [music] that little extra
2:40:21 10% made it that bit more personal.
2:40:23 We'll find out.
2:40:26 If we can keep it rolling, folks, this could be the day.
2:40:29 What a day as we look [music] across our game flow.
2:40:32 GG so to G2 first map in the bag and very happily so.
2:40:36 [music] Yeah, they're both red lines.
2:40:37 We get it, folks.
2:40:38 We get it.
2:40:38 But damn, one of those red lines all the way to 250,
2:40:41 the other one right back to the mechanics.
2:40:44 Yeah, I know the 51 points for red line number one with LAT,
2:40:47 the only success they had.
2:40:49 They get flatlined for the next two hills.
2:40:51 And after that, a closely contested battle,
2:40:53 but those two hills set you far back enough
2:40:55 that again you're dealing with Hellstorm after Hellstorm after Hellstorm.
2:40:59 If that wasn't a factor, honestly to God,
2:41:00 LAT probably [music] able to fight in that game.
2:41:02 The The early fives for you, MvP,
2:41:05 in the long term could have helped them with the P1 break instead.
2:41:08 Any call you have, immediate response, and the game just feels horrid.
2:41:12 So, settles it up there for map number one, and a raid for map number two,
2:41:17 G2 Minnesota's former bread and butter,
2:41:19 and something that LAT [music] looking to flex.
2:41:22 Well, Raid, yeah, the flex is good.
2:41:24 An old bat in some new hands.
2:41:28 Thieves, what you got?
2:41:29 And another exposure to play with you guys.
2:41:31 Again, I'm not sure if you were here for the first, but a banger indeed.
2:41:35 I will be very different, I would say,
2:41:37 very very different uh experience for both of these squads right now,
2:41:39 but G2 coming to play up, coming out swinging.
2:41:41 Love to see that.
2:41:43 Tickets available for your WC as well.
2:41:45 Uh all of our teams will be there.
2:41:46 It's going to be a banger.
2:41:47 Get some challenges teams there, too.
2:41:48 Chance, how do you feel about the Raid game?
2:41:49 I mean, of course, bread and butter, delicious, not the most nutritious,
2:41:53 but an easy snack, uh solid to digest depending on the kind of bread you use.
2:41:57 What do you think about Raid for G2?
2:42:00 Uh well, I think I'm thinking even more from LAT's perspective,
2:42:03 cuz they're trying to flex it out a little bit more recently.
2:42:06 And the way they played it yesterday,
2:42:08 the rounds they had success on, they were just doing insane stuff.
2:42:12 Uh I mean, legitimately taking the bomb from spawn,
2:42:14 wrapping it all the way to the depths of the enemy spawn,
2:42:17 just to wrap it all the way back.
2:42:18 And they were running circles around the map,
2:42:21 but they were doing so successfully.
2:42:23 When they played a little bit more normal, they started getting picked apart.
2:42:25 So, I don't know what LAT are going to bring to the table.
2:42:28 It's going to be the sight
2:42:30 Go, Stahli.
2:42:31 They're just going to try to, you know,
2:42:32 develop their own strats for it, but I think a difficult to prepare for.
2:42:36 An interesting one, for sure.
2:42:38 Scump against this squad, a 1.56.
2:42:42 What?
2:42:43 that is extraordinarily high.
2:42:45 He is absolutely a titan in SND against Minnesota.
2:42:49 I think that'll be G2's operation on the flip side.
2:42:51 Try to read the pressure on the map.
2:42:53 How do I identify this ban, and make sure you double challenge him.
2:42:56 Nani?
2:42:58 Out of the garage.
2:42:59 Following our bomb carrier towards ring right now.
2:43:04 Right into the battle we're about to fly in the easy first
2:43:06 blood on the skies and Abe is not slowed down a single second.
2:43:10 He's absolutely banging it forward.
2:43:12 He could be on for this one folks.
2:43:14 Yeah, he's definitely on for the ace.
2:43:16 Oh my god, he throws himself off of the map Mamba.
2:43:19 HE ABE, CHILL BRUH.
2:43:22 CHILL.
2:43:24 YOU [laughter] GOT TO CHILL.
2:43:25 OH, HE WAS NOT CHILL AT ALL.
2:43:27 EVEN HIS BLACK CAM OFFICE.
2:43:28 HE WAS NOT CHILL.
2:43:30 Hydra picking up the final kill but Abe, what a round.
2:43:34 And that is also virtually the exact same opening
2:43:37 break that LAT had it yesterday on this very map.
2:43:41 Try to smoke off like that cut to let
2:43:43 Abezy get in the mix for this exact situation.
2:43:46 Maybe the only adjustments are what the players in the backline were
2:43:49 doing for them but I mean players are just running for the hills.
2:43:52 Trying to run for your life but as many circles are run around Abezy,
2:43:56 you see how good his reaction time is on point round one.
2:44:00 We puckered.
2:44:01 That was a collective puckered.
2:44:03 Puckered farm remembers that first round.
2:44:08 Abe has in fact chilled.
2:44:11 Scrap.
2:44:11 Nice tags.
2:44:12 Couple headshots in there as well.
2:44:13 You heard the ding.
2:44:15 Good work with the nade.
2:44:16 Your boy lives.
2:44:18 He's definitely missing an appendage or two.
2:44:20 Yeah, so tough though.
2:44:21 He'll heal back up.
2:44:22 Oh yeah.
2:44:23 Oh yeah.
2:44:23 Oh yeah.
2:44:24 Oh yeah.
2:44:26 The shots there for Hydra.
2:44:29 On the hop as well.
2:44:30 So good.
2:44:31 So clean.
2:44:32 Yo, Hydra kill.
2:44:33 He's fast.
2:44:34 He's furious.
2:44:34 Oh, the smoke as well.
2:44:36 Hit and kitchen.
2:44:36 Team fire.
2:44:37 You name it.
2:44:38 Abezy gets the pair of them and now it is over.
2:44:41 Yo, Thieves chill.
2:44:44 Nice run.
2:44:45 That that like hot take by the way.
2:44:46 I tried to do it.
2:44:47 I can't get it down.
2:44:49 Apparently it's when you hit the ledge you're like clicking in the left stick
2:44:52 like at the exact time you're bouncing off of it to then hit the jump.
2:44:55 I don't know how to do it.
2:44:56 I'm 31, it's all good, but Hydra is a pro player,
2:45:00 so he's working on the details and by god, that movement was on point there.
2:45:04 nice, yeah.
2:45:04 Nice, nice, nice.
2:45:06 Okay.
2:45:08 Nice bit of a round two flurry here from the LA Thieves.
2:45:13 Going into a third, what will befall us here?
2:45:16 Whose turn is it to pop off?
2:45:20 G2, we're really yet to see anything special.
2:45:22 They are on the receiving end of every opening
2:45:25 hit from the Thieves and they got nothing so far.
2:45:29 And I mean, if this is Mad Dog and Easy,
2:45:31 he's going to be back leading the charge again.
2:45:33 Smoke off sort of those front lodger steps and he's going
2:45:35 to get in the mix and I mean, it is empty space.
2:45:38 Yeah, literally nobody showed up, so we're mid-map instead.
2:45:41 We're snapping shooting everybody.
2:45:43 We are tagged up one shot and that's enough to bait
2:45:46 Hydra into death because three players for G2 were low cool steps,
2:45:50 but as they're spawns, LAT quick bomb plant.
2:45:53 Got one guy lodging and you got to be easy sniffing the entire thing out.
2:45:57 sniffed it out.
2:45:58 Go get him, Abe.
2:45:59 Go get him.
2:46:00 Get him, boys.
2:46:00 Get number seven.
2:46:02 Good boy, I guess that's seven.
2:46:03 Does look like he managed to get the streaks as well and that's two v two.
2:46:06 Good news, you got intel.
2:46:07 Bad news, you're stunned.
2:46:09 Bot goes red.
2:46:11 Neem backs up trying to pull the attention forward.
2:46:13 Scrapped there with the coverage, nice work, Skyz.
2:46:17 He's got so close to get another kill here with Wait,
2:46:20 wait, wait, it's the wall bangs from Scrap.
2:46:22 Chill, Thieves, 3-0.
2:46:24 I mean, if these giant exploding I mean,
2:46:29 I'm getting propane tank flashbacks now,
2:46:31 but like these LAT players are just standing
2:46:33 next to exploding vans and just walking it off, so you'll take that.
2:46:37 How different these rounds could be.
2:46:39 But while Neem is going into sections of the map
2:46:42 that is impossible to actually get in there, so he's built different.
2:46:46 What we're witnessing right now is just a Beezy
2:46:48 at his absolute best hounding players for these first bloods,
2:46:53 pure unadulterated aggression.
2:46:55 They are tough.
2:46:57 With two F's.
2:46:59 All right, Cream, bomb in hand.
2:47:02 Guys trying to mix this up quick.
2:47:06 What's a Beezy doing?
2:47:07 That's what I want to know.
2:47:08 He's just chilling in mid.
2:47:12 Not giving up anything just yet.
2:47:15 Scrap takes care of your sniper problem.
2:47:18 What a nade!
2:47:19 What a nade!
2:47:19 Back-to-back [laughter] absolute peaches!
2:47:24 Oh, that's such an issue to deal with.
2:47:25 I mean, what are you going to do, boys?
2:47:26 The cars can't kill you when they blow up, the nades certainly do.
2:47:29 Look out for Scrap.
2:47:31 He makes his way to the backside.
2:47:32 He pins you in.
2:47:33 The bomb has been dropped, Mamba.
2:47:34 Good luck with this one, mate.
2:47:35 They are everywhere.
2:47:37 Okay, you you good luck.
2:47:38 Well, you've still got two to get.
2:47:40 If he clutches this, his pop off in the player cam is going to be nutty.
2:47:44 Yeah, it's going to be a big one.
2:47:45 He's got 38 seconds now to do it.
2:47:48 And the thieves have grouped up together.
2:47:52 Oh!
2:47:53 It ay ya da da da da da da da da da da.
2:47:55 Still has his stun and his nade to work with.
2:47:58 If he gets a good granata into the garage, you never know, boys and girls.
2:48:05 He has to account for two of them.
2:48:06 Throw a tight shoulder and get cut up by a pair thieves.
2:48:11 Unorthodox, but yet again, perfect search.
2:48:15 Yeah, just brutal.
2:48:16 I mean, Scrap gets the bomb down as well.
2:48:17 Easy to call out garage.
2:48:19 If Mamba had the M15 out there instead of the MPC,
2:48:21 probably able to get that kill on Neam,
2:48:24 but a little too twisted and too tough of a spot,
2:48:27 but the mirror energy coming through for these grenades.
2:48:31 Beezy says, "Anything you can do, Cream, I can do better." Boom.
2:48:37 Takes care of Hydra, and then again, like almost exactly the same angle.
2:48:40 Bang, bang.
2:48:41 Aim takes a good hit there, so that could have been a two-piece.
2:48:45 Krem, which certainly would have stung, but as of yet, four to nothing.
2:48:50 No donuts aside from the G2 scoreline.
2:48:54 And you see Scrappy in the background, by the way,
2:48:56 on a five spree, so he's been making moves and getting first bloods.
2:49:01 So, maybe a kill or two away for the hellstorm,
2:49:02 and he's also getting hunted down.
2:49:04 He does have Hydra here for support, so the more time he buys, the better.
2:49:07 And here's the reinforcements.
2:49:10 You know, first, once again.
2:49:13 Mamba is making his way forward for Aim, and he's feeling it.
2:49:16 He's feeling it.
2:49:17 Nice shot from Restless.
2:49:18 The second man not good enough there as the trades
2:49:20 are as easy and as clean as you like right now.
2:49:22 Mamba, yet again, a one V three.
2:49:28 Oh, so much to do.
2:49:30 So much time.
2:49:32 The chances you will have to catch these kills,
2:49:34 they'll be stripped away from you.
2:49:36 There's the turn.
2:49:37 There's the pick-up.
2:49:38 Here come the Thieves.
2:49:39 Yeah, I mean, give Scrappy the kill,
2:49:41 uh if you're really trying to sort of maximize this, but yeah,
2:49:45 if you get the freebie, it doesn't matter.
2:49:46 You're at five-oh, and you're doing everything right.
2:49:49 There's also at least two different rounds where Mamba
2:49:51 is effectively left isolated and out of the play.
2:49:55 So, LAT doing a really good job getting grouped up together.
2:49:58 Again, Scrappy getting close to that hellstorm
2:50:00 as the lone man over towards Ring.
2:50:02 G2 attempted to isolate him.
2:50:05 Hydra so quick to get back to his duo,
2:50:08 get that first blood, and the round collapses quickly after that.
2:50:11 And shout out to Neam, as well, you know, Swiss Army Neam, doing a great work.
2:50:16 If Abezy's flying out to mid map challenge, he says one shot,
2:50:18 you better make damn sure you're there for the trades.
2:50:20 You do not want to disappoint a world champion.
2:50:26 Mamba needs to slow down this hit towards A.
2:50:30 Uh so far, it's just been perfect work out of the LA Thieves,
2:50:32 and look at this positioning they've got right now.
2:50:34 You have absolutely encircled G2.
2:50:37 Still just a watchful eye towards B for a second longer,
2:50:40 but the smoke play is more than enough to tell you that it's on.
2:50:44 Trades start.
2:50:46 Can we interrupt the flow?
2:50:47 Not yet.
2:50:49 Back and forth, it's going to be a 3v3 after everyone heals up,
2:50:51 but oh, it's a parallel race now through kitchen.
2:50:53 What a read, but a Beezy saves the day.
2:50:56 Now a 3v2.
2:50:57 Hydra closes it out and Skyz is done.
2:51:00 Absolute perfection.
2:51:02 They're on raid by the LA Thieves.
2:51:04 [music] Oh, brother.
2:51:06 Dude, they broke NATO on defense before G2 made the call.
2:51:10 Talk about reading them like a book.
2:51:12 They were in their heads before you could
2:51:14 figure out what to do, and yeah, Mamba.
2:51:17 I mean, listen, it was a beautiful map one for G2,
2:51:20 but LAT stun locked after map number two.
2:51:22 [music] LAT, that is a perfect game.
2:51:25 Two different offensive strats hit the early rounds there for a Beezy
2:51:29 where he is hounding you down for the first bloods,
2:51:31 and he just sets the tone, and the follow-up is perfection.
2:51:35 And shout out to be a two and three, but did his job.
2:51:38 That he somehow managed to get five assists, two kills, and only 286 damage.
2:51:45 I think maybe his stuns and nades putting in some extra work there in that map.
2:51:50 I mean, flawless stuff through and through.
2:51:52 Only died first once.
2:51:54 The rest of the boys, everyone pulling their [music] weight.
2:51:56 Great stuff, LA Thieves.
2:51:59 The map used to be based in Los Angeles, now it's Tokyo.
2:52:04 [music] And now we go to the sands of Australia to exposure overload.
2:52:07 We're definitely going to [music] Colossus.
2:52:09 And if Gridlock was anything to go off of, I mean,
2:52:11 this hardpoint could be an absolute banger.
2:52:13 Gridlock to close out the series as well if we have to go to five.
2:52:16 Yes, again.
2:52:17 Exposure overload on the other side of this break.
2:52:20 LA Thieves squeaky clean in the search and destroy.
2:52:23 The hardpoint not as much.
2:52:24 Let's see how overload treats our two teams after this break.
2:52:45 Major 3 is going to be a classic.

2:55:34 He threw a trophy trophy by doing He threw a trophy I did HE'S STILL THERE.
2:55:38 HE'S STILL THERE.
2:55:39 HE GOT IT.
2:55:41 OH, HE DOES GET IT.
2:55:42 YEAH, IT WAS TOO SLOW.
2:55:42 HE GETS IT.
2:55:43 HE JUST HOPS IN RIGHT AWAY.
2:55:46 Nobody checks the bomb.
2:55:51 And it's a joy to welcome back to the Call of Duty League.
2:55:53 Map number three is on its way.
2:55:55 We saw a lovely Search and [music] Destroy there by the Thieves.
2:55:57 And of course, we went to the first map, Charles, which was Gridlock Hardpoint.
2:56:01 And Charles, did you know that Gridlock,
2:56:03 another map set in Japan here in the Call of Duty League?
2:56:05 That's right, Black Ops 7.
2:56:06 Tons of it.
2:56:08 Over in the land of the rising sun.
2:56:09 Now though, to a very different sun,
2:56:11 a very thin ozone layer in the game of Overload on Exposure.
2:56:16 Let's get this party started.
2:56:18 Yeah.
2:56:19 Map number three.
2:56:21 Yeah, get the sunblock out and sun block.
2:56:23 Now this guy has just cleaned off the glasses as well.
2:56:26 He joins his SMG duo.
2:56:27 Yesterday it was only the SMG players rocking the uh glasses.
2:56:34 Wow.
2:56:33 Yeah, we're going glasses.
2:56:34 That's fine.
2:56:36 Maybe Mamba needs to join him.
2:56:37 Maybe that's uh the the cam was the issue there on the map number two.
2:56:40 Got to add some.
2:56:41 They they absolutely make glasses that are not
2:56:43 prescription and you can do it just for looks.
2:56:45 Yeah, blue light blockers.
2:56:47 None of my glasses are real.
2:56:49 Not a single one.
2:56:50 I'm joking.
2:56:50 I'm actually wearing blood.
2:56:52 But uh these boys 20/20 vision.
2:56:55 20/20 some of that charisma.
2:56:58 Right now I'm looking for at least I'm like an 8.3 on this one.
2:57:02 I want a bang out.
2:57:03 I want to see some magic here on this Mother's Day [music] Sunday.
2:57:08 Neium five goals in the season so far versus Minnesota.
2:57:10 Not bad at all.
2:57:11 He has been a very impressive overload player.
2:57:14 Look at that Swiss Army knife.
2:57:15 The Swiss Army Neium certainly does it all.
2:57:18 Every mode put him in here.
2:57:20 It's been a very welcome addition to this LA Thieves roster.
2:57:23 Minor one victory.
2:57:25 Can they get a major next week?
2:57:28 We'll find out.
2:57:28 Into overload first though.
2:57:31 Yeah, these are LA Thieves stats versus Minnesota.
2:57:34 Starting to look pretty They're kind of crazy, yeah.
2:57:36 Yeah, a collective KD is rolling through.
2:57:38 But hey, on first blood I would first one to strike does
2:57:41 get traded out and wow did G2 really want to kill Hydra.
2:57:46 I mean that was a full throated commitment to jump down low.
2:57:50 I suppose all's like you know, all's well that ends well.
2:57:53 I'm going to be down low and Hydra well,
2:57:54 he's just going to be annoying in your base.
2:57:56 Yeah, still dancing, still jumping around, causing problems.
2:57:59 And now oh oh oh yeah, he's going to cause even more problems.
2:58:02 Oh, does he get the second man?
2:58:03 But that might be good enough.
2:58:04 Over to the defensive B we now go and Hydra finds two.
2:58:06 Third man dead.
2:58:07 Can we get it through?
2:58:08 Yes, we can.
2:58:09 Neium on the board first.
2:58:11 Keeping the kills alive and keeping the rally very much going.
2:58:15 It's going to be Scrap trying to find the pick up.
2:58:17 The reinforcements from G2 better get there
2:58:18 fast and Neim holding them down yet again.
2:58:21 Here comes the next man, Hydra, his fifth in a row.
2:58:24 We're looking for a second goal, the rally complete.
2:58:27 Just the perfect chain.
2:58:28 Once you get the capture, you flood through getting the spawn.
2:58:30 I think Hydra was the one that eventually blocked it and forced it out low dirt.
2:58:33 So, LAT perfect rally cap, fantastic positioning.
2:58:38 Although, they're going to be a little bit troubled up on the defensive end.
2:58:41 Mama underneath you gets traded out,
2:58:43 but G2 at least now in this moment they will apply a little bit of pressure.
2:58:47 Yeah, they have a foothold at the very least over
2:58:48 by the new EMP device and as I say it, they are peeled from it.
2:58:52 Yeah, belongs, that's a problem.
2:58:53 Mama's going to try to get the damage in.
2:58:55 Can't make this an easy run, but boys I'd cross this one up.
2:58:57 Yeah, you've got to be easy in position on the top side of the map.
2:58:59 He's called it.
2:59:00 We're trying to make something happen,
2:59:01 but scrap iron boots now in the middle of the map can't get across the way.
2:59:06 Estreal with the kills and a bee easy playing sneaky.
2:59:08 Let a man through.
2:59:09 Can you get that kill?
2:59:10 No, Mamba, what a savior.
2:59:13 And now a run to B, top side lane flooded with G2.
2:59:17 Are we going all the way, boys?
2:59:19 It sure looks that way, 2-1.
2:59:22 Yeah, I mean, listen, the bee easy's at his best when he is running it down.
2:59:25 Not the uh finest moment for him, but setting up for the long-term capture.
2:59:29 The moment Estreal gets the two-piece, well, got to get in the action.
2:59:33 That was Krimp trying to heat up just a little bit.
2:59:35 That's a three spree form, but chopped down and no device momentum.
2:59:40 Neim slowing down the entire team and well,
2:59:42 his teammates have cleared out the base.
2:59:44 The slower Neim can take this, the better.
2:59:46 He's getting kills, doing damage and now hounding these players,
2:59:49 Neim, setting his team up for success.
2:59:52 the EMP.
2:59:53 Oh, can't even get it.
2:59:54 Hydra touches it for a second.
2:59:56 All of Neim's work there saved by that G2 defense.
3:00:01 One man left to do in the spawn.
3:00:03 And Krimp trying to get himself to work in the middle of the map.
3:00:06 Now looking to either hit that left or right hand lane.
3:00:10 G2 winding up for the hit.
3:00:12 Nice and slow so far.
3:00:13 A coordinated effort to identify these players.
3:00:15 So far, not going great.
3:00:17 Dude, LAT are playing such a risky game, too.
3:00:20 I mean, there are so many opportunities on this mini
3:00:22 map for G2 to find the open lanes.
3:00:24 Of course, it's guesswork for them.
3:00:25 They can't see through walls, but a delicate moment either way.
3:00:29 Hydra needs to protect the device in with shots like that.
3:00:33 Well, that's a job well done.
3:00:36 Ooh, another hold.
3:00:39 Looking for the reset any second now.
3:00:43 This again, this device has not been doing much.
3:00:46 Plenty of Thieves in the middle of the map now.
3:00:48 In fact, all of them.
3:00:48 If they can get their kills, which they cannot.
3:00:51 Again, a slight disconnect here.
3:00:53 Niap in position now trying to make a play happen, and he's been identified,
3:00:57 and they are doing their best to keep him down, but it's hard to stop him.
3:01:02 And the spree from Abezy comes to a close.
3:01:04 Minnesota right back to mid.
3:01:06 Yeah, see if they can get a little bit of motion going.
3:01:09 They have long control.
3:01:10 And just again, uh a wide open sort of left lane.
3:01:13 Mama gets to be the cut-off man, playing it a little bit passive though,
3:01:16 so number three is able to get out.
3:01:18 It's going to be a dicey one, and you also got players shooting in the back.
3:01:21 Yep, LAT stuffing out on the defensive end.
3:01:24 You got a minute to work with for the capture.
3:01:26 What's the defensive lineup now from G2?
3:01:28 Where are we going to go?
3:01:28 Well, first thing, great job dealing with Hydra now.
3:01:30 Top side of the map.
3:01:31 EMP making his way forward.
3:01:32 Scrappy thinks he's got himself in there and free at home and clear.
3:01:34 Well, Nade's there.
3:01:36 One more man to deal with on time.
3:01:37 It's going to be Krem.
3:01:38 EMP now winding up for the run through the left lane.
3:01:40 Abe finds a couple, and that should be 3-1.
3:01:44 And a potential rally capture as well.
3:01:46 Well, they're going to be forcing in the the depths,
3:01:48 but still two LAT players here to slow them down as much as you can.
3:01:51 So, Hydra going to collect the device, but well,
3:01:54 Asim and Kremp won the gun fights to clear out the base.
3:01:56 So, 30 seconds left.
3:01:58 Hydra trying to re-stabilize, but that gets taken care of.
3:02:01 This is anybody's ball game.
3:02:02 Still mid map.
3:02:03 20 seconds is all G2 need.
3:02:07 They get themselves on the board and they get it fast enough.
3:02:10 Here we go.
3:02:12 Pick up.
3:02:13 Trying to make the run.
3:02:14 Are we going to B?
3:02:15 Are we going to A?
3:02:15 We need to find the kills first.
3:02:18 Mamba committing to this one.
3:02:20 He doesn't necessarily have the squad mates alongside him.
3:02:22 We're going to go to extra time.
3:02:25 Krem can't find any more out of that life.
3:02:27 Has to wait now for the reinforcements to arrive.
3:02:29 The Thieves spread the defense perfectly.
3:02:32 Oh, this is not a fake as well.
3:02:33 He's actually full sending all the way across.
3:02:35 So, he's only got one teammate with him.
3:02:37 LAT spread a little bit thin, but leading the charge there with the pistol.
3:02:41 Not the easiest thing to do.
3:02:43 So, LAT put him down and then finish this one up 2-1.
3:02:47 And all that comes off of the rally capture, by the way.
3:02:49 LAT, I believe, did this the last time they played Exposure as well.
3:02:53 It's the positioning of number two on the mini-map,
3:02:55 Hydra, that blocks those back spawns,
3:02:57 forces them over towards dirt, makes that rally capture nice and easy.
3:03:00 Much easier.
3:03:01 Much, much, much easier.
3:03:03 We just see they managed to squirm out of the second capture.
3:03:07 But, G2 in a difficult spot, indeed, as well.
3:03:10 At least they get on the board,
3:03:12 making it that bit more manageable going into the second half.
3:03:16 Overload so far.
3:03:18 Strong showing from the LA Thieves.
3:03:21 We're not out of the woods just yet.
3:03:22 Here we go.
3:03:23 Another 5 minutes to play.
3:03:26 As G2 are while on the back foot, we'll see how they sound in a quick listening.
3:03:53 I have a con.
3:03:53 I have a con right now.
3:03:54 I'm there right now.
3:04:50 [laughter] What a brilliant effort by G2 and a saving score
3:05:32 for the Thieves of 4-4 with 2:45 on the clock.
3:05:35 Yeah, that's such a flowing moment.
3:05:36 That was three scores by the way in 36 seconds.
3:05:40 So, G2 just snapping the form.
3:05:42 So, we're winning every single gunfight.
3:05:44 Think Hydra doing what he can to slow him down and LAT re-stabilized,
3:05:48 gained some control of the map, but we're about a 50-50 standoff here.
3:05:52 But, still trying to break out, still trying to break out of that top lane.
3:05:56 And in firing positions now set up by the Thieves.
3:05:59 The trophies saving their skin for now
3:06:01 and it's still a 4v4 basically around the EMP.
3:06:04 Nea brought down Mamba trying to get for it.
3:06:07 Scrap.
3:06:08 Damage dealt with everything he's got in his pocket and that's huge.
3:06:11 Now Hydra in the 1v1.
3:06:12 Oh, he's been dealt with by Estreal.
3:06:14 Estreal still pushing the front line forward another big
3:06:16 kill to his name and you're worried now about Nea.
3:06:18 The pick up, the run.
3:06:20 Estreal, what a moment.
3:06:21 He's Sudani going to go all the way around as well.
3:06:23 Leave a teammate for safety.
3:06:25 Got Mamba pushed down.
3:06:26 Cuts there.
3:06:26 Hydra's weak but the trade isn't.
3:06:29 Sky's with some unfortunate timing.
3:06:31 Estreal still has the device in hand and the lead
3:06:33 blocker but he is left with nowhere to go.
3:06:37 A small mishap there and an opportunity for LAT to recover.
3:06:40 Yeah, at the very least though you do sort
3:06:41 of leave the EMP in the position that's quite neutral.
3:06:44 Oh boy, but that neutrality is going out the window.
3:06:46 No Switzerland to be found here.
3:06:47 We are on the run lads towards B.
3:06:49 Scrap trying to find those entry kills, trying to lead the way.
3:06:53 Oh dear, Estreal's in DC too hot to handle.
3:06:57 A minute 20 and the game slows again.
3:07:01 This might be a hellstorm from Hydra.
3:07:03 No, he's just watching the pinch so we are taking this real slow
3:07:06 for LAT and we are turtled up in a corner of the map.
3:07:08 This is a dangerous game.
3:07:10 I don't think he's any streaks actually at play.
3:07:14 Oof.
3:07:15 Couple of more kills.
3:07:16 Abizy trying to find it.
3:07:18 That's the play.
3:07:19 That's the run.
3:07:20 Nea for two.
3:07:21 Abizy now with the score.
3:07:23 Lead change less than a minute.
3:07:25 Unreal.
3:07:26 And Nea gives you the third.
3:07:27 They were all turtled up in their corner of the map.
3:07:29 You lose those gun fights,
3:07:30 you probably lose the map cuz G2 might be able to chain it.
3:07:33 Instead, starting to run the show, trying to play protection over that device.
3:07:38 Nea finally taken down.
3:07:40 You can see there on the player cam.
3:07:41 He is emphatic with his calls.
3:07:43 Still trying to make that play.
3:07:44 That last play happened.
3:07:45 G2, we've seen a couple of big captures.
3:07:47 There's nothing to say that they can't do it again.
3:07:50 A strong line in the sand drawn now by the Thieves.
3:07:52 They're looking for a couple more, but they are losing the battles.
3:07:54 Hydra claws it back.
3:07:56 What a win against Kream.
3:07:57 He may have just saved the moment now.
3:07:59 Mamba from upstairs.
3:08:00 Estreal joining him and Hydra's down.
3:08:02 So now another member of the Thieves finds a big kill with 15 seconds.
3:08:07 The keep away game is on.
3:08:08 Do not let G2 touch that EMP.
3:08:12 Uh, they're not going to be able to as well.
3:08:14 He's got the AR looking over top.
3:08:15 5 seconds left and movement good enough to stay alive,
3:08:18 but you don't shoot back three in the feet
3:08:20 and we might have just dropped the ball.
3:08:22 0.1 seconds.
3:08:23 The ball's been picked up.
3:08:24 EMP on the run now.
3:08:25 Final hit.
3:08:25 Estreal down.
3:08:26 Can we get the trades?
3:08:27 The lineup is good.
3:08:28 Skyz is there.
3:08:29 Wait, we're going to run this one home.
3:08:30 A SINGLE MAN.
3:08:31 MAMBA!
3:08:33 [screaming] IT'S THROUGH.
3:08:36 OVERTIME, BOYS AND GIRLS.
3:08:39 And locked in for a reason is Skyz.
3:08:41 He polished those glasses off at the start
3:08:43 of the map and boy did that vision come in handy.
3:08:46 Massive three kills even with the stuns landing
3:08:49 at his feet able to deliver the goods.
3:08:54 Oh my goodness.
3:08:54 Take another look at it as well, right?
3:08:56 That is with 0.2 seconds.
3:08:58 0.1, yeah.
3:09:00 Nail-biter for the collection.
3:09:02 And well, Skyz as icy as ever.
3:09:05 Frontman standing tall and winning some wicked one.
3:09:08 Shout out to Kream for the final kill cuz right if Hydra gets that device guy,
3:09:11 that is GG done and dusted.
3:09:13 Instead, OT stopwatch.
3:09:16 Here we go.
3:09:16 Here we go.
3:09:17 One more.
3:09:18 One more set of halves.
3:09:22 It's a quick hit from the Thieves.
3:09:23 They're going right in.
3:09:25 Finding opening kill, but it's a slower play from G2.
3:09:28 They've read this opening aggression.
3:09:29 They've lost possession as well.
3:09:32 Couple of big ones.
3:09:32 Hydra traded out.
3:09:34 Pressure now on.
3:09:35 Thieves on the back foot.
3:09:38 Don't get shoulders.
3:09:38 Wow, just hard challenge this one.
3:09:41 And hey, because it's Scump, he can do that.
3:09:43 Skyz gets dropped in.
3:09:44 Well, now we're backing it up a busy.
3:09:46 Maybe he wants to take this one on the world tour G2.
3:09:49 Now everybody stacked up the left side of the map.
3:09:51 They're looking for that big uh left straight.
3:09:57 Couple of big ones.
3:09:58 That's two.
3:10:00 The Goomba jump on the stomp.
3:10:02 Quick pick up.
3:10:03 Now Nam trying to find that goal.
3:10:08 Could this be a winning moment right now for the Thieves?
3:10:10 We have to see G2 hold.
3:10:12 The first kill is good.
3:10:13 Here goes the nades over the top.
3:10:14 No trophies to be found.
3:10:15 Nam on the floor.
3:10:16 Here we go.
3:10:16 Flying towards goal.
3:10:18 The last man dead.
3:10:19 But wait.
3:10:19 In a moment [snorts] of discord, it is going to be a connection.
3:10:22 It is a minute and 7 seconds.
3:10:29 G2 with a lifeline.
3:10:33 Last chance here on Overload.
3:10:36 And Nam so good, man.
3:10:37 He gets stunned at repeatedly,
3:10:39 still wins that opening gunfight for the plaque control.
3:10:42 And that means the life of his teammates so easy down low.
3:10:45 They only have one direction to look,
3:10:48 and simply overwhelming there with the pressure.
3:10:51 So it's not just the pistol gunfight towards
3:10:53 the end after the team kill in the capture.
3:10:55 But again, he stunned up top solar, gets the wall bangs there on Mamba,
3:10:59 and that is simply just a kill Mamba needed to get.
3:11:03 Now G2, pressure's on.
3:11:04 It was Nam for the hat trick.
3:11:07 Could it be a winning goal?
3:11:11 1 minute and 7 seconds all you've got.
3:11:13 Already down to a minute.
3:11:14 Oh, you're nowhere near that EMP.
3:11:17 G2 hears the opening break opening for the mid map kills.
3:11:22 And it's on Sky's and Astro to find them.
3:11:24 This is a nice start.
3:11:25 Crimson managed to make his way towards the back trying to check everything out.
3:11:27 Looking for a red dot.
3:11:29 Looking for somewhere to send it.
3:11:31 Towards B we go.
3:11:33 Crim might be good for at least one hit.
3:11:34 Can he get the defender?
3:11:35 Nam Oh, the streaks.
3:11:36 This could save it all.
3:11:38 But wait.
3:11:38 Under the coverage of the hellstorm, a man down.
3:11:41 SOMEONE HAS TO GRAB HERE COMES NEAM.
3:11:43 SAVES IT ALL WITH A HELLSTORM.
3:11:45 FINAL 30 SECONDS.
3:11:46 HE MAY HAVE JUST WON THEM THE MAP.
3:11:49 OH MY GOD, in the one time you needed to fly for G2,
3:11:51 they're just a little bit too slow.
3:11:52 Now they're going to have to do this the difficult way.
3:11:54 It's a main AR leading the charge.
3:11:56 He's got the three kills and he's one man standing.
3:11:59 15 seconds.
3:12:00 It's the foot race.
3:12:01 It's the FOOT RACE ON.
3:12:01 MAMBA OPENS THE LANE.
3:12:03 10 SECONDS.
3:12:04 RUN.
3:12:05 FLY.
3:12:05 GO.
3:12:06 CRIMP.
3:12:07 HE'S ON IT.
3:12:07 A FEW SECONDS.
3:12:09 WHAT A PLAY.
3:12:11 G2.
3:12:13 AN EMPHATIC REACTION and a legendary game of Overload.
3:12:19 Oh my god, in the stress out of control, dude.
3:12:22 Neam just did everything for his team to try to get them back in it.
3:12:27 But then the gun fights just started flowing the way of Minnesota.
3:12:33 Back-to-back pushes.
3:12:34 They're able to orchestrate to force that action.
3:12:37 And we get to take a second look.
3:12:38 Look at these child's roller Everybody from LAT was here in time,
3:12:43 but the distraction and the pressure from the guys down low just enough.
3:12:49 Shout out to Mamba and shout out to Estreal
3:12:51 able to get it done, get the clearance.
3:12:53 And it is that gun fight right there from Mamba that opens up the entire thing.
3:12:58 Crimp's route as well.
3:12:59 I mean, look at that.
3:13:00 It goes through 5 seconds to spare.
3:13:05 Simply unbelievable work out of G2.
3:13:10 Thank you once again to our pals at Treyarch
3:13:13 for giving us Overload cuz that was really fun.
3:13:17 Wow, what a finish.
3:13:19 Mamba, [music] you had yourself a time.
3:13:22 Neam, I mean, talk about the the king
3:13:24 of clutch going for every possible avenue for victory there.
3:13:29 [music] I worried about the hellstorm,
3:13:30 but they somehow found the kills while the missile was still in the air.
3:13:33 As it connects, it killed two, I believe, in the end.
3:13:36 It was still not enough to stop the grip of G2 Minnesota.
3:13:42 Wow.
3:13:46 And you know, even for the opening break,
3:13:48 prior to the Hellstorm coming in, they needed so many little things to go right.
3:13:52 So, G2 [music] digging deep.
3:13:54 This is obviously a full team effort.
3:13:57 Cuz keep in mind, after the first half, LAT did have a 3-1 score lead.
3:14:02 And then in the second half, and G2 just woken up.
3:14:06 [music]
3:14:06 Absolutely electric stuff coming through.
3:14:08 They had three captures in 36 seconds.
3:14:11 [music] So, it was rally after rally.
3:14:15 Maybe in long term, just a maybe like a singular mistake
3:14:18 of a free sort of goal given up in the first half by LAT,
3:14:21 maybe the type of thing that really hurt them in the end.
3:14:24 I mean, don't forget you have Mamba's clutch here to get us to that overtime.
3:14:29 Just unbelievable, Skyz.
3:14:30 What a three-piece.
3:14:33 Krem to pick up Hydra on the back.
3:14:35 And [music] now, Neim's goal, impressive enough.
3:14:38 I mean, truly, giving you everything there.
3:14:40 You see it.
3:14:42 On a five spree into a score for [music] that Hellstorm.
3:14:46 Mamba here, 35 seconds ago.
3:14:47 Look how close he gets, Krem.
3:14:51 Playing for the EMP, not playing for the kills here.
3:14:53 And Neim again, he finds one with that that Hellstorm in the dying seconds.
3:14:58 This is just unbelievable.
3:15:00 This is what the Call of Duty League is all about.
3:15:02 I didn't see it from that angle.
3:15:03 Can't believe Skyz actually got away in that final moment from the rocket.
3:15:07 So, yeah.
3:15:08 Electric stuff rolling through.
3:15:10 G2 so far this year,
3:15:12 they have had some of the like most impressive last second wins.
3:15:16 And almost how they started their year, Skyz ripping through a P4 hill on dead.
3:15:21 Just icing up towards the end.
3:15:24 G2, as you said it, Miles, absolutely have the grip when you need it.
3:15:27 Now we're 2-1 in the series.
3:15:29 We're not done.
3:15:30 mhm, mhm.
3:15:31 a beat down in Minnesota's favor, but we're going to a Colossus where
3:15:34 Minnesota have absolutely [music] lost that extra edge.
3:15:38 So, it's been getting through so many of the series,
3:15:40 but they have not been able to find those wins.
3:15:42 [music] So, I think LAT not necessarily fearful to see them on this map.
3:15:46 I mean, let's find out, folks.
3:15:48 Let's just What I don't know what's going on.
3:15:50 Don't know when we're in this grip.
3:15:52 Mother's Day.
3:15:54 It might be Mother's Day, but there's a lot of daddies in these games right now.
3:15:56 A lot of daddies.
3:15:57 But, let me tell you folks.
3:16:00 to that one.
3:16:00 Wow.
3:16:01 Oh, map one.
3:16:03 Skyz [music] is Oh, yeah,
3:16:04 Skyz is a generational generational performance here Skyz.
3:16:07 Absolutely disgusting work.
3:16:09 We're talking about those like main ARs.
3:16:10 Scump had himself a bad time uh on Gridlock.
3:16:14 Now, Colossus again, as we've touched upon, very, very different map.
3:16:17 We're going to see a hell of a lot more MPCs.
3:16:18 We're [music] really going to see that mix up.
3:16:20 But again, for G2, you're right, they lost that edge.
3:16:22 Are we going to see some shifts here?
3:16:23 This is a huge swing moment for them in the series.
3:16:27 Two back-to-back clutches there in the overload rounds.
3:16:31 Surely now you fly into this Colossus with all the confidence in the world.
3:16:35 Well, you know, you say fly and you talk about the MPCs,
3:16:38 but G2 Minnesota were actually a team that I mean,
3:16:41 Maux and Skyz, last time we watched them play,
3:16:44 they rocked a double AR setup for what felt like virtually the entire game.
3:16:49 Of course, LAT when they're playing against them, you see that W on Colossus.
3:16:53 The last two, both beatdowns in their favor.
3:16:57 So, I don't know if the weapon meta is
3:16:58 going to be a shift in favor of either team,
3:17:00 one direction, whatever is going to happen, it's going to be a fun one.
3:17:05 Well, not a huge amount of pressure in towards time early on here.
3:17:10 Both teams are vying for control, playing a bit of footsie,
3:17:13 spacing before they start letting those jabs out.
3:17:18 Minnesota Thieves are going to go around that low
3:17:21 side looking for that statue control yet again.
3:17:23 Maux is going to be the man on that.
3:17:25 Again, oscillation from Krimp back and forth,
3:17:27 swinging into that fight as best he can,
3:17:30 but it's not enough to stop the Thieves.
3:17:31 They're on.
3:17:33 Yeah, that's a little full send out of P1, as well.
3:17:35 Sort of throw away your life, and you see Scrappy with the MP 7 hands.
3:17:38 That means a lot of SMGs coming through, at least on P1 at 4 LAT.
3:17:45 Sky's back and forth, as well.
3:17:46 So, as stated, a lot of SMG pressure in Alpha LAT.
3:17:50 Just the uh sniff out game with the time Cream in the back line.
3:17:53 Well, the sunlight that answers that question.
3:17:56 Team Chall as well.
3:17:58 LAT will have the initial control of P2.
3:18:02 We've seen these P2s get broken heavily today, alone.
3:18:06 See if this one's any different.
3:18:08 Good old Abe.
3:18:09 Ah, he gives you two.
3:18:10 And Asim, he's having himself a nice time, as well.
3:18:13 Demon Hydra closes the last few.
3:18:15 Mamba here for the cleanups.
3:18:18 Oh, he's dancing.
3:18:19 He sees little cheeks of Hydra poking out.
3:18:21 And he nearly gets himself a third on that life.
3:18:23 An unbelievable one now.
3:18:23 Sky's enough to get him on towards time.
3:18:26 And you have broken the back of that hard point, boys.
3:18:27 Well done.
3:18:29 Yeah, good work.
3:18:29 Good stun.
3:18:30 Good timing, but no trophies here on this P2.
3:18:32 So, whether it's the stun or the nades to make this break, it's back in G2 down.
3:18:36 But, quick little reposition from Asim.
3:18:38 Heals up, and he's zapping.
3:18:40 Four-man wipe.
3:18:41 We'll see how fast they can go.
3:18:43 Mamba instantly over towards the new time.
3:18:46 You got the numbers.
3:18:46 And now you have the kill.
3:18:47 Scrappy last man.
3:18:48 He's got to kill three people, and he cannot.
3:18:50 And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the lead change.
3:18:53 Now, G2 Minnesota, woohoo!
3:18:54 Mamba pushing out.
3:18:56 Identifying those points of weakness and filling them.
3:18:59 Good work, G2.
3:19:00 On time.
3:19:01 Finding kills.
3:19:02 And you know, high key, a good death from Sky's in tunnel,
3:19:05 cuz he gets to spawn up, pull out an AR, and gets to sit on the god heady.
3:19:08 So, even deaths right now working in G2's favor.
3:19:11 Nice work.
3:19:13 Everything going right for G2.
3:19:15 Woo.
3:19:18 Cream still pushing pace, as we are climbing our way through this P3.
3:19:23 It is not looking that strong whatsoever from the Thieves.
3:19:25 They've slowed down massively.
3:19:30 Still finding I mean damage all across the board.
3:19:32 Krimp is flowing and dare I say it, we could be back.
3:19:37 The tunnel's all his.
3:19:38 Astral's got the outside covered and we're going to nuke.
3:19:41 And they're playing for the quick wrap as well.
3:19:42 Krimp already trying to contain these players if they take the deep right route.
3:19:45 He trusts his teammates to block these spawns
3:19:47 and Mamba up top P1 gets double kill.
3:19:49 Backs down.
3:19:50 So, this is great work on this rotation.
3:19:53 Beautiful teamwork in LAT.
3:19:55 Well, going to have to come off respawn once again.
3:19:59 As much map pressure as you can really achieve so far on Colossus,
3:20:02 they still have it all.
3:20:03 It really is pressure.
3:20:04 I mean Krimp is just cutting from one side of the map to the other.
3:20:06 Everyone's getting damaged.
3:20:07 Everyone's getting tagged up.
3:20:08 Turning those hours around.
3:20:10 And on the moment now, can't get much more out of that.
3:20:13 Krimp from spawn.
3:20:14 He is dancing.
3:20:15 Skyz with the pistol.
3:20:17 Come on, son.
3:20:18 That is unbelievable.
3:20:20 Woohoohoo!
3:20:21 He just made the Thieves go extinct.
3:20:23 Just like the leader of the dinobots.
3:20:25 Okay, enough.
3:20:25 Enough.
3:20:25 Lock in, chat.
3:20:26 Over 100 we now go G2.
3:20:28 Good luck.
3:20:29 Uh yeah, I was waiting for it.
3:20:30 The main [laughter] then unable to touch this hardpoint.
3:20:32 They get inside for a second and Skyz gets a two-piece
3:20:34 to break it down and finally the kills in LAT flowing their direction.
3:20:38 That was four in a row.
3:20:39 A necessity to get this break and to try to get back in the mix, right?
3:20:43 LAT only a Beazy is possible.
3:20:46 That's rough.
3:20:47 I've got to say about Foresite though.
3:20:49 He was Stevens.
3:20:52 He's working it.
3:20:53 Oh boy.
3:20:54 Woohoo!
3:20:54 See Skyz, he's gone.
3:20:56 That's the first we've seen there.
3:20:57 12 and 12.
3:20:58 Disgusting work.
3:20:59 Now Neim on the patrol here by the statue.
3:21:02 Someone's going to get upstairs towards time.
3:21:04 He's good for a little bit of damage, but again,
3:21:05 these are such unfortunate fights to take these 50/50 doorway battles.
3:21:08 Not fun.
3:21:09 But for G2, they are laughing their way through these kills.
3:21:13 Trying to trade out everything as well.
3:21:14 The Beazy and Hydra two players in tunnel on P1 is
3:21:17 a tricky thing to deal with and that delivers them all four kills.
3:21:20 A little bit of stabilization.
3:21:22 Sky's trying to pinch out but his teammates spawn out so we're
3:21:25 going to have to turn our heads and his Krimp gets two.
3:21:27 Oh, final LAT players alive, head on a swivel and shooting like that.
3:21:32 Can't believe he's not even positive.
3:21:33 He was negative.
3:21:33 I get it.
3:21:34 It doesn't seem to matter.
3:21:35 It simply doesn't.
3:21:37 G2 still kicking ass, still cooking here on Colossus.
3:21:43 And Neim, I mean like the POV he's got like
3:21:45 slow motion compared to everyone in G2 who is just flying,
3:21:48 slicing their way through the Thieves.
3:21:50 Yet again, Scump finds himself in a bit of a spree.
3:21:53 It doesn't seem to matter.
3:21:55 P2 though, Thieves, who do they got?
3:21:57 Well, right now, you're just in a situation where
3:22:00 G2 are getting tattered up and battered back down.
3:22:03 So many kills going in their direction.
3:22:05 And Abezy, last time we saw him, the only player positive.
3:22:07 Well, Hydra's joined him.
3:22:08 Scump is starting to take over as well.
3:22:10 So, the tides have absolutely turned and LAT now in full control.
3:22:15 They might be tattered and battered, but they're not scattered.
3:22:17 They are all together now in unison.
3:22:21 Thieves playing it tight, playing it close together.
3:22:24 A couple of big grenades and stuns, man, I would kill for a trophy.
3:22:27 I'm sure one of them said.
3:22:29 Krimp cleans house.
3:22:30 That's that, folks.
3:22:31 You've once again scared the Thieves to the win.
3:22:33 But wait, Hydra.
3:22:35 Oh, he tries to go Super Saiyan, can't do it.
3:22:39 Neim and Abezy have spawned.
3:22:40 We're battling over the last few seconds here.
3:22:42 We're thinking about rotation as well on two Thieves on the foot race.
3:22:45 Yeah, no more trophies this time, dude.
3:22:46 Everybody's getting stunned up, naded up, and gone down.
3:22:50 Wild sequence on P2 in a closely fought game.
3:22:53 Now, LAT have absolutely brought it back and they've won the rotation as well,
3:22:58 at least for the initial time.
3:22:59 G2, well, that's a tough moment.
3:23:01 Krimp strikes on a pinch and now gets to be a distraction,
3:23:03 but by the time he's taken care of, you surge on forward.
3:23:07 Sky's with the SMG leading the charge in the free to two pieces,
3:23:11 of drill, and the worst spawns for LAT that you can get on this hill.
3:23:15 Oh, the worst, man.
3:23:16 It is straight tyranny.
3:23:19 Straight Tyrannosaurus Rexing with shots.
3:23:21 I'm not sure if you know the dinosaur.
3:23:22 I mean, it's basically what it's called a Grimlock.
3:23:24 He's a T-Rex.
3:23:25 Isn't that insane?
3:23:26 Not to be confused with the map in Black Ops 7 Gridlock,
3:23:28 which could be game five if the Thieves weren't getting rolled.
3:23:33 LAT's arms have shrunk down and now they're starting to flail around.
3:23:35 This is back-to-back P3s where they have just had no open avenues of attack,
3:23:39 even with the team kills rolling through in favor of G2 Minnesota.
3:23:43 Keep in mind for Mambo, the five spree he is on.
3:23:45 Well, if you can convert this, that'd be a beautiful thing.
3:23:48 You see a kill away from the hellstorm and just gets it on the cross.
3:23:53 Player though for G2 going to spawn out,
3:23:55 but G2 right now prowling around these back spawns.
3:23:58 I mean, G2 are the predators right now.
3:23:59 The Thieves conceivably the prey.
3:24:01 Let's go out for a listen and see if we can hear how it's going.
3:24:39 Three such you.
3:25:07 I'm going to take a left right here.
3:25:18 These boys are stressing.
3:25:21 G2 Minnesota is bringing the heat.
3:25:23 They are breaking down the game plan.
3:25:25 And right now LAT desperate to recollect themselves.
3:25:28 got slammed so bad by Skyz.
3:25:30 He literally went what?
3:25:31 Like actual disbelief.
3:25:32 Utter disbelief as Mamba slices two and half, gets a hellstorm on the three.
3:25:37 And now Krem immediately to time.
3:25:39 Somehow walking away with nothing but a death there.
3:25:41 Unreal, man.
3:25:42 Unreal.
3:25:43 G2 Minnesota have transformed.
3:25:46 They've got three on time now.
3:25:48 They can't win here on this P1.
3:25:50 Thieves know that and they are muscling up ready for the hit.
3:25:54 And they are just setting ridiculous paces well.
3:25:56 I mean, this is flow state I feel like for G2.
3:25:59 I don't know what they had for breakfast this morning,
3:26:01 but it is absolutely paying off.
3:26:03 And well, if you want to break into P2, hellstorm not a bad thing to have.
3:26:06 About to drop it all here on the hard point.
3:26:10 Let it rip.
3:26:12 Slow and steady.
3:26:13 Going to close play it safe.
3:26:14 Play it safe.
3:26:15 You took care of everyone.
3:26:16 You're going to hit the back.
3:26:16 Hope for a little bit of damage on this place with spawn protection.
3:26:19 Neam, protection not needed until Astral shows up.
3:26:22 Final kills, final moments.
3:26:23 This is it.
3:26:24 Hydra has saved the map for now.
3:26:26 Can he find the entry?
3:26:26 He cannot.
3:26:27 Krem has read it.
3:26:28 Ladies and gentlemen, G2 Minnesota have taken the Thieves to task
3:26:34 here on Collosus after a historic victory [music] in that game of Overload.
3:26:40 They are going into Atlanta with [music] their hearts full.
3:26:45 And how about that?
3:26:45 What a final memory to have.
3:26:47 Live off that energy as you go.
3:26:49 And you see Krem his first win he has ever gotten against LAT.
3:26:54 So nice to see that ball go through the net.
3:26:56 Oh, man.
3:26:57 What a brilliant series.
3:26:58 [music] Krem's hitting a nice little Oh, yeah.
3:27:01 GG's over I'll see you in Atlanta.
3:27:03 Thanks to supporters.
3:27:04 Peace.
3:27:05 We'll hear from them in the interview, of course, but 3-1.
3:27:08 Quite the surprising result here for a match-up of this caliber.
3:27:12 And again, just as far as the match-ups
3:27:13 and all the match-ups has gone, wow, just wow.
3:27:17 Estreal and Mamba had a good time.
3:27:20 Krem on his namesake Matt drops a fat 4K.
3:27:24 Along side Scump, actually was definitely trying to do his best there,
3:27:27 but Skyz might have had the kill of the match onto Hydra.
3:27:31 I'd love to see that one back.
3:27:33 I'm sure you're going to see it on social media and yeah,
3:27:36 all the all the watch parties are probably talking about it as well.
3:27:40 GG.
3:27:41 I don't [music] think there was a whole lot of hope here.
3:27:44 There was one bounce back that was just tremendous separation for G2.
3:27:50 Congratulations, boys.
3:27:51 That is quite the victory.
3:27:52 [music] And also, I just across this entire series,
3:27:55 Chance, brilliant result from G2.
3:27:57 Superb result after getting utterly gutted on that Raid S&D,
3:28:02 which was honestly quite embarrassing.
3:28:04 I mean, just yeah, a wild sequence of events.
3:28:06 And how about that for the swing game mode of Overload as well?
3:28:09 And how many nail-biter moments needed to come through for G2 to get that win?
3:28:13 But good memory to have going into the new time, able to out-slay LAT like that.
3:28:18 Wicked gun power those guys have.
3:28:19 Super good.
3:28:20 Super stuff.
3:28:21 Super stuff.
3:28:21 Well, guys, thank you very much.
3:28:22 I will see you after the major, Wheeler, Ali.
3:28:25 Guys, have fun.
3:28:26 Actually, Anne, good luck.
3:28:28 Yeah, you too.
3:28:29 Absolutely.
3:28:30 Uh I don't think anybody predicted that.
3:28:32 I think we have to eat crow.
3:28:33 We both said LA were going to win this one.
3:28:35 I even saw some people tweeting this is going to be a DoorDash challenge.
3:28:38 G2 showed up today, won all three respawns, Icy in the Overload.
3:28:42 And this is a G2 team that lost to Boston.
3:28:45 Ali, how the hell are they so hot and cold in this series?
3:28:48 I mean, this was awesome what they just put on tape.
3:28:50 I mean, that kind of feels like what the entirety
3:28:52 of Split 2 has been for a lot of these teams.
3:28:54 I mean, outside of Optic, we've gotten hot and cold performances,
3:28:57 I feel like out of a lot of teams.
3:28:58 We got two it is a been a roller coaster watching them.
3:29:01 I mean this series was just so impressive in the way that they did it.
3:29:05 At the map one I think was a statement in that gridlock
3:29:07 the two for day I mean it was just not even close.
3:29:09 Like I don't think I ever felt like LA
3:29:10 was going to really come back into that one.
3:29:12 You got a ballard map one out of sky as the veteran.
3:29:15 You know he's had his ball on the map a couple of times in the And what's
3:29:18 wild is like even in both the listening you can hear the desperation Yeah.
3:29:22 on the side of LA Thieves on this map you heard scraps say
3:29:24 like All right guys yo let's actually have a game plan for this one.
3:29:27 Map one he's searching for an answer.
3:29:28 He's like hey we need to group up
3:29:30 and for G2 I mean overwhelming them on the Colossus.
3:29:33 I mean you're talking about the gridlock.
3:29:35 You just said a 100 point victory dominating rotations breaking
3:29:39 at will and this is the peak that G2 can play at.
3:29:42 So honestly we haven't heard any negativity
3:29:44 really coming out of their camp despite what
3:29:46 the community may have been saying about them
3:29:48 for the last couple of weeks or months really.
3:29:50 But if this is what we're going to get at the next
3:29:52 major they have a chance to make a run into a Sunday.
3:29:54 And that is scary to think about because you think you know when we have
3:29:56 seen G2 on LAN we've also seen
3:29:58 them perform better than the online stage typically.
3:30:00 So a team that gets better when they do get to go to local area network.
3:30:03 So that's scary especially just we have so many teams right now
3:30:07 that look so good that we're like in weird triangles beating each other.
3:30:10 It's insane.
3:30:11 Yeah.
3:30:11 So let's go to the scuff play of the game.
3:30:13 It's got to be the overload.
3:30:14 I mean they they have multiple scuff play of the games in [music] this one.
3:30:17 You're talking about 0.2 seconds left in the round.
3:30:20 He missed it.
3:30:21 I'm like oh no mama choked.
3:30:23 0.1 gets the ball in hand and you know they just make
3:30:26 a play and push all the way up through and get the score.
3:30:28 Ali talk to me about this game clinching play here at the end of regulation.
3:30:31 For me it was just kind of like G2
3:30:33 knew how to play overtime in this situation right?
3:30:35 Like they played off the chaos they played
3:30:36 off of each other where it felt like LA
3:30:37 Thieves on the flip like yes they were able
3:30:39 to get that first overtime in about a minute.
3:30:41 But when you go to the defense side of things like you know you're calling
