 We're here. We're here in the caverns of time. We've got a crazy crowd out here. Okay? There's literally hundreds of thousands of people out here. There has not been an event like this There has not been an event like this since the 1985 cotton bowl. Okay, so this has been totally insane We have horde we have alliance coming together to find out Who is the greatest? Dualist the best world of warcraft player in the level 40 classic while beta that's closed and only a certain amount of people Can play mostly streamers It's amazing. We got a great show planned Rich asman back to you guys Okay, so Dracov is already moving in been rookie comes in immediately sheeps Dracov a been rookie He's gonna be trying to get absolutely to max range and then start opening up on him right there And here we go. He's right there at 36 yards I think that's the max range starts dropping frost bolts on him and then immediately Dracov comes out there and he's summoning in the entire menagerie He's got battle chickens mithril dragonlings coming at been rookie super fast But rookie is actually going for killing all of those different mobs Dracov goes ahead and use freedom to go ahead and try to catch up with been rookie But it's not mattering because obviously from rookie is moving into basically the exact same speed Dracov pulls back with the pets and now they're basically going to reset and then been rookie goes for another polymorph on Dracov to reset the match again So this is something that we saw from been rookie a whole bunch in the last tournament as well really prioritizing Anything that gets summoned whether that is going to be an item or it is going to be a pet And then he's just easy you'd see him even taking a hand off the keyboard there Just making sure the nose is clean because he's digging for the win He's gonna be able to get that space he uses that polymorph to his full advantage after dealing with anything that could be thrown At him by dracov and it's a drink cova is going in here to make the make the difference here And then immediately been rookie comes to polymorph dracov with only a second or two left dracov Obviously gets out of that polymorph. There's a number. You see a fire blast go off two different Frost bolts and dracov is just getting kited and then we see a repentance go off dracov It goes for the heel been rookie senior at forty four percent mana This is where dracov at the ret paladin dream actually could come through we get an auto attack a full absorb Dracov uses freedom tries to stay on been rookie goes for the stun been rookie blinks the stun Dracov a throws a grenade it hits been rookie big grenade there That's gonna allow him to close that space as well Let's see if this auto attack and he can get some auto attacks and he's gonna be able to trade out of the poly But he instantly gets rooted. Yep. He actually used this trinket right out of the polymorph He's using everything they can and been rookie is going for another reset using a vocation right here And dracov is sitting there at half mana been rookie is resetting the fight again majors are amazing So one thing that you definitely do want to note about that evoked as well based off of the way that the dual tournament does work We're not gonna see that evoked for a little while. It has a very long cool down to three or a six minute cool down It's a very very long period of time and then dracov is getting right up to been rookie here He gets him right up against the edge. He gets a critical strike for 399 been rookie is running away dracov Oh, wow been rookie got a really lucky frost bite proc and then been rookie went for a What was it a first aid and then dracov interrupted with repentance? He blocks it and then he just keeps kiting him dracov is very very low been rookie's using a fireball here dracov A goes for the the bubble and he's starting to heal himself and this is gonna be another reset Well, you force the trade And it's very smart by then rookie there to see the blood in the water and go, okay I can trade out ice block here and now he gets back to the space game. He throws out the poly He moves away and dracov is going to be on his last leg here already Relatively depletified on manna and he doesn't have the same reset potential now to actually If it doesn't go right the first time you polymorph them and then you go to the second time And then if it doesn't go right the second time you do it again And now we're at about the sixth to the seventh time dracov has already used all of his uh His bubble here and oh he goes for the grenade He's gonna hit he hit been rookie and then he goes for a holy light He'll heal himself up to full is closing the distance and then been rookie immediately I believe spell steals that blessing and freedom not a hundred percent sure about that Ben rookie again then throws the grenade on dracov dracov is out of manna. He uses a uh, what was that even there? I think that was a net-o-matic uh engineering trinket and then he's just making the gap there He can go for the lay on hands if he needs to he goes ahead and he gets repent He uses the lay on hands and he gets back on the been rookie now at this point been rookie All he needs to do is reset the fight one more time and it's going to be a win This is right down to the wire cold snap second block Not much manna going to be left and that's why we're going to see this poly come out here expect Ben to create that space and potentially go for another drink But look how calm and collected this guy is he's been in so many of these dual tournaments Both hands off the keyboard send out for a nice drink. He's getting ready for the 4th of july Oh, and then you look at dracova with the in combat during the duel A uh trinket swap over to the market the chosen reward from maradon if he takes damage There's a chance for him to gain 25 of each different stat So he's going to be moving over towards been rookie dracova has already used lay on hands He's already used bubble the only thing that he has left is blessing and protection And he can't really use that against the mage. So this is basically All been rookie has to do is repeat the same thing He's done twice and he's going to come out ahead and then there's the grenade that just narrowly interrupt Oh, it doesn't interrupt the polymorph and it allows been rookie to just make a little bit more distance What's that spell batching we can't really say batching pod Yeah, yeah, there it is And then we have the frost bolts coming out. He hits him with three frost bolts a uh, oh a repentance right there That is a very very good repent one thing you can say about dracova here Is he's absolutely doing an amazing job with the repentance So here's the thing with everything that we've seen from dracova so far You can see that he's like I want to take this first game. He's down to use absolutely everything If you don't use it, you lose it. I love that from dracova and we can also see him Going and working around the resets that van rookie takes and he goes, okay, if you're going to reset I'm going to try to use that to my advantage. I'll let you play your game There's not much I can do to stop you. I'm one of the most difficult classes in the game to connect All I really have is my freedom to rely on and we've already seen how well van rookie has moved around that So he is basically saying you take that drink go for it He's obviously in the poly there so he doesn't have much of a decision But this time he can finally close that space He has a little bit more mana another poly is going to come out and now we're going to see those frost bolts Also, keep in mind van rookie is going to be ranking those spells a lot Sometimes he is just going to be prioritizing slow so it can be a little bit more efficient with his mana And we won't actually see those big beefy frost bolts coming out now We're going to see an aid as well auto attack andy in full swing into it right there And then he goes for the net He does the iron grenade and he just narrowly hits van rookie as he tries to run out Dracovah heals himself and rookie is going in for another frost bolt and then he gets interrupted with a repent Dracovah goes for the first aid and he goes back on the van rookie. Holy shit. This is going on dracovah is He's holding his own. This is incredible esfan is actually was so right about what we've seen from this is incredible He's used the entire toolkit so well and then rookie I think when you look at the field of play right now And you look at what mages are able to do then right now is in a position not only is the deadly player But I think he has the advantage as far as classes are concerned and we can see that matched in the chat as well double resist Double resist and then finally he gets one off dracovah goes ahead and he uses the Blessing of freedom and then he's just trying to make distance over to rookie He goes for the sun van rookie obviously blinks out of the sun and dracovah goes the opposite direction Maybe trying to line of sight and reset again and van rookie sitting there dracovah is obviously drinking van rookie goes for the Frost bolt right there hits him for 300 hits him with the grenade very very good grenade right there Second frost bolt. We're getting a third frost bolt with the fire blast. He's going for the iron grenade He's going to hit him. He hit van rookie right there. That could have been the end of the match But dracovah held it off and then naruki goes for a rank one frost bolt I believe just to keep dracovah a little bit more slowed nice In goes with the repentance with the into the first aid dracovah again Staying alive by the skin on his teeth back up to full health Van rookie goes for the poly and then he's going to go back up to drink again And see if we can get this right the next time you can even see van rookie there Like nod when that rep comes out is so well played It was going to happen and also dracovah really prioritizing trying to get some of that extra resist I can even I can hear quinn right now when it's rip paladin just screaming resist Resist, can you resist? Well the thing is that it didn't even matter like if he had resisted the uh the the next two that would have been really bad But because he resisted the first two it didn't break poly so it was actually a really good thing for that to happen to him Van rookie got lucky with those resists in a way right he used up all of his bad rng there And then again van rookie is going for three frost bolts into the iron grenade into the fourth frost bolt Probably into a fire blast. There's the fire blast right there Frostbite proc keeping dracovah stunned and then dracovah has his second bubble up And then he immediately goes for two yields and he's trying to get himself healed up as much as possible van rookie makes distance So obviously he can drink dracovah throws the grenade it hits van rookie dracovah again Goes for another bandage and van rookie is again making distance so we can drink and reset again So dracovah is again out of out That's basically something that we've said multiple times this rep is going to be huge here This is going to be that window of opportunity. It's almost at the point now for dracovah. He has to close it here Dracovah trinkets right out of it the volley and then van rookie gets another one on them But this is only a short polymorph It's only 10 seconds when rookie goes for the first aid Making distance on dracovah, and then he sits down to drink. I don't know what's going to happen here Are we going to go for another polymorph? We are and then dracovah immediately tries to drink to get a couple of ticks off for that And then the rookie goes back over there polymorphs again gets in position starts casting frost bolts again Dracovah goes the opposite direction to outrange the frost bolts and then drink for a third time Oh that whack from the poly going to crack open this match up and all of a sudden dracovah is very much back in it It forces van rookie once again go for a reset and look at dracovah right now as well You have to keep in mind then rookie at this point is going to be getting close to an ice block again So he does still potentially have those outs big grenade though once again dracovah going to come through We've already seen how devastated It goes for the sheep And I can actually see a bunch of you guys saying that that you would like to see sheep Maybe have a cool down or something like that. You should try out bfa and in bfa We're going to see a poly very different there, but not here. This is classic no changes, baby She's going to come out then rookie going to move away and now he's going to start casting some of those frost bolts 143 damage going to come in on to him That's going to be this could be the end of it dracovah has no more outs and then oh wait he does Oh, wow Been rookie blocks the repent and dracovah goes in there to hit him right there dracovah does a clutch furball form I believe that's what it was very very good there dracovah goes for the heel van rookie interrupts it dracovah Oh my god dracovah resists the attack while he's doing in for first aid So he keeps getting healed even more dracovah is at 10 health. He goes for the heel is van rookie going to hit him He didn't quite hit him in time. Oh my god. This is right down to it Ben rookie is basically trying to out damage dracovah heels and i'm pretty sure he's not going to be able to Ben rookie is out of mana he oomed himself So he's running away from dracovah the amount of spatial awareness that he has right here is absolutely incredible So basically what happens in Ben rookie's mind? He says I already use the block the block is not something that's necessarily defensive for him there It's an offensive block He knows that he has the evoked so he goes in he says i'm going to start a war of attrition Because I have one more out and basically what happens there is he goes completely oom He goes for the race and he doesn't quite win. So he needs to get back He uses that evoked now he's out again, but he's ahead in the race one more time He gets a full reset This is something that you would see sometimes in arena when you see the full resets actually starting from both sides Now this rep is a desperation rep. He knows that he needs to move back He knows that he needs to get himself healthy and he has no mana to work with here. So dracovah going to move away He's going to start that first aid now Ben rookie can close that space with a full bar of mana Will he be able to close out this first duel in our tournament? And you can already see half health for dracovah racing gets the clock in right now Ben rookie is all in ben rookie blinks the stun right there even in dracovah dracovah has almost no health left And ben rookie closes it out with the first match going to the mage Is able to get off the second one early on and the third one actually came out offensively And now we're going to start open this door with polymorph. It's not really going to be available here It's going to be on lay on hands on dracovah's side So basically ben rookie goes and he does the exact same thing he was doing before and makes max distance with dracovah Immediately gets a first resist dracovah starts running towards him ben rookie is going to lose about maybe five yards of his kiting range That you would have had because of the first resist and then polymorph going away Ben rookie is obviously kiting dracovah even more and dracovah gets right into that 20 yard range for the repent And then he gets back up to full health and he keeps making his way towards ben rookie now Ben rookie is going to be able to get away So dracovah is slightly out of auto attack range but in range of obviously Judgment and basically everything else rep paladin has access to and then he's trying to slow dracovah trying to get dracovah off Of him goes for the fire blast your dracovah is obviously rooted there and dracovah Probably interrupts him with the stun and then heals himself up back to full ben rookie goes for another frost bolt Barely dracovah gets out of it and hits him there He hits him with a frost bolt to follow that up and then he goes in for the uh, what is that blessing of freedom? Hard to add him with the net oh medic ben rookie responds by getting into a block and dracovah starts Using first aid and I actually want to say very quickly here You're seeing how flexible both of these players are Completely different styles coming out much more aggressive opener from ben rookie and also dracovah is able to take advantage of that Both of these players top notch and dracovah has done We knew that ben rookie was going to look good dracovah was one of those players that we were like Okay, what are we actually going to see from a ret paladin? This was a complete wild card complete wild card and a complete Pleasure to watch so far but dracovah once again going to be stuck in that sheep Can you imagine $15 a month to just be stuck in sheep all day long wizard should refund your sub time at 15 Then it increments every single time that you're uh, you're cc'd. I agree. I agree. Yeah, absolutely It's the same as they used to give fuel free game time and if the servers would be down And then obviously ben rookie is running away here dracovah is trying to meet the distance here with obviously Oh, wow. Look at that. He's just changing in the blessing of wisdom While ben rookie is obviously making max range to regen as much man as possible goes for the second grenade Immediately healing himself with flashlight to maximize his amount of health and then ben rookie is still kiting away But he is pretty close to the edge there ben rookie might have to go away from different way He's going to take a pretty good amount of damage here. This could be kind of bad for ben rookie It could be and remember the wild card that we actually did see from dracovah when you talk about the wild card That's going to be a very nice root that does come in that frost over going to slow him up And then off of that we're going to see ben rookie take full advantage But the big thing that we saw from dracovah as he does go for the reset He has the potential to crit for over 500 damage We saw a 552 hit come in last time from dracovah The reason that we call them auto attacking andy's is because of how much that can actually do the auto attacks Do good damage and then ben rookie is pretty low on mana here dracovah is just trying to uh He's trying to just make the distance here. I don't know how this is going to go He doesn't want to use bubble ben rookie also doesn't want to use mana. He wants to try to force this bubble That's why he was using that uh that one, but we'll see if that's going to be able to happen He's only got 7% mana maybe enough. Oh, he doesn't think it's going to be enough They're both going for a reset and they're going to try things again Obviously dracovah probably pretty soon here ben rookie might go for the uh sheep and there it is And then ben rookie is going to continue healing up obviously and he's got 15 seconds to do that Yeah, and and also keep in mind you can see ben rookie navigating with his wand a little bit They're definitely very proficient with that wand But it's not going to be very important in this matchup because of the reset capabilities I think if you did watch the last tournament we saw a lot of wands getting crossed right You see the casters just shooting back and forth at each other having a nice wizard volley But when we have a mage in this particular scenario, you can throw out the sheep You can get those novas you can get away You can get these drinks ben rookie going to know exactly how to use that Entering out of the polymorph. It's going to be greeted by frost slowing down dracovah. Now a nice stun This could close it out. This might have to be a block here. Oh a bubble. I mean Oh my god, and he immediately gets the ripen off dracovah heals basically up to full Closes the gap on ben rookie goes for those auto attacks uses blessing or freedom And he's doing a lot of damage here ben rookie. Oh, he blinks away without even having to blink out of a stun Uh dracovah stuns him. Oh my god dracovah stuns him with the block and if he can close again If he can get a rep off again, but this is going to be a big evocate here It's for an evocate and dracovah's actually going to decide to trade out with that evocate And this is something we see in terms of he says, okay, you're going to go for a reset me too I will find time to close then rookies though not going to be able to get health dracovah's going to be able to close This blink is absolutely massive here. Dracovah barely came up. This is match point as well Right then rookie can close this one out But you see dracovah say, okay, I'm going to trade as well I'm going to be able to eat a little bit more of your damage now Once again a conjure going to be able to come off This is going to be nice for ben rookie a little bit later on dracovah Still going to be sitting in that poly as ben goes for that reset again But dracovah played that very well and he almost was able to take it down You can see some follows coming in from dracovah as well I do want to mention if you want to be following dracovah on stream We definitely do implore you to do so because this guy has been playing out of his dome Even when he's sitting in the shape he looks fantastic in fleece But we are going to see some nice frost bolts coming out as well Is the stun going to connect oh and the the grenade was resisted if that wasn't resisted I think ben rookie might have actually and then he blocks to get out of the repent He interrupts the oh my god, and then he gets oh man He got hit by that grenade and dracovah still gets the heal off Ben rookie is just looking for that window and so is dracovah Between trading resets and then going for those windows This could be basically anyone's game and we're just waiting for somebody to make a mistake Or somebody else to get lucky it dude. Yeah, it's also oba is going further. He's going for it He's almost out of mana. I'm pretty sure he's right. He's getting ready to bubble This is the ballsyest thing that it is the ballsyest thing that he's done since rolling right right there There's the bubble. I knew it. He bubbled right at the end to bait ben rookie into casting that spell dracovah is running away He's immediately losing first aid so he can obviously get more mana ben rookie is getting up to max range Getting his mana back up dracovah notices that and he immediately starts trying to reset too So now ben rookie has a window that he can obviously fight dracovah in where he cannot block This is very very much ben rookie's game to lose at this point And I mean it was pretty much ben rookie's game to lose throughout the entire before the duel even started Right, you can see how favored mage is and dracovah just keeps saying hell. No I'm not going to lay down and just take it and he's definitely put ben rookie on the ropes before and we see him finding these Opportunities and he keeps creating these potential opportunities to win and that's what you have to do if you're going to win a duel And here's another one He's got to be able to potentially close that space but the nova is just going to be too strong then rookie once again Can get away for these resets he can get out polymorph now Everybody in chat gets taken nice little nap while ben rookie gets to take his fourth of july drink all the way in canada There it is and I mean honestly, he's doing this really really well Like even I think that one thing that really again separates good players from great players is being able to adapt dynamically Whenever things don't necessarily go exactly the way that you wanted them to go Right, so if you have a resist if you have something happen That's not supposed to happen if somebody you know something weird happens You have a big crit, you know you change what you're doing based off of that And I think that's really something that we've seen dracovah do a lot and also ben rookie as well Ben rookie we're basically what I'm expecting to see right now is ben rookie to go all in at some point whenever he does get full mana He's obviously trying just to make distance with dracovah and then go all in for a kill because again dracovah does not have bubble He does not have lay on hands and these jewels have taken a while, but it hasn't been an hour So he has pretty much no other ounce. Well, it's a tough situation when you know, you have a freedom It's one of the best things like if you if you've ever pvp'd in Did you see that he just fire warded the grenade That was big That was big, you know when you when you do look though at pvp in classic Wow, you think about things like worse on gulch metas were defined by paladins actually having that freedom But when you don't have backup to actually close the space You're just going to see then rookie time and time again Use that blink and be able to keep himself nice and safe But this is big for dracovah. He's going to be able to finally close that There's nobody's gonna be able to freedom out of it And if we don't see a big proc here from ben rookie He we could just see dracovah closer But once again, he is going to have another blink at his disposal This polymorph isn't resisted then rookie is going to be safe. Oh, that was close This is listen, man. I play a warrior. I know what this is like dracovah. There's no way. He's not mad right now There's no way man. This is this is what mages do and it's what they are best at They're best at resetting waiting for that opportunity and that is all ben rookie is doing He's gonna go for the uh the different cast he had to resist there Obviously not good in his favorite dracovah goes for the grenade hits the grenade goes for the hill immediately ben rookie Blinks out of the grenade dracovah immediately starts going for the channel on the uh first aid Oh wow ben rookie gets a crit for 600. Oh my god dracovah is very low and ben rookie gets them There it is There it is. There it is right there We're gonna see ben rookie managed to close it out But dracovah has been absolutely fantastic to watch you can actually drop a follow for him You can see everybody resetting right now Everybody on the beta teaming up together to make sure that we can reset the duel ben rookie gonna be nice and happy there He had plenty of time during that matchup, you know to throw out the polys We have one of the most Lovely luscious hair flowing interviewers in the entire world to talk to the absolutely jacked vegan of ben rookie Yo, what's up, man? Hey, how's it going? I mean This was this was a pretty uh, this was a pretty impressive duel. I thought oh you ran away from me You want to you want to go ahead and run back here? I'm pretty immobile. Uh, there you are. Okay, so uh real quick. I mean, what would you think? What were you expecting when we first fought dracovah? Uh, so dracovah is a paladin I think I I dueled against him three or four times and every time I dueled him Like I thought he was obviously a really impressive player He knows exactly how the matchup needs to be played. I think a lot of mages will probably end up losing to him but Obviously you saw if you just kind of stall out the game and spam eat and drink tell man is in your favor You can win but I think you played it basically as well as you can Yeah, I would I would very much agree with that dracovah is a very good player and uh, I mean, of course We all know this right the level 40 meta is a little bit different wouldn't you say than uh, than a max level You know not having cleanse and whatnot, but I think you played that just about as well as you could have possibly played it And of course, so did you right? So uh, congratulations. Great job on the win and congratulations on going to the next round Oh, thank you very much. I look forward to it. All right, here we go So obviously duel is starting zeroed is trying to find payo And payo is just trying to find that opening to open up on zeroed and actually get that attack Zero drops a flare and then immediately right after that is going to go ahead and use his night elf ratio to shadow meld And now payo is just kind of curious So basically what he's doing is he's staying stealth so he can enjoy his sub train It's a it's a classic move that you see by chat Zero moves them in immediately gets payo out and then immediately payo interrupts them with a Gouge and then zeroed stays on payo right here payo is doing a lot of damage to zeroed zeroed already at half health Payo is oh my god stunned. Wait, how did he full heal? You could actually see as well there from payo. He was saying wow What a good player that zero is he was saying it very loud He was very hyped up about what a good player that he is a big opener comes out from payo Even though we see zero Iron grenade and payo finishes out the duel You just can't stop. I mean like that was fucking insane. He just popped up. He he didn't even get the stealth He didn't even get the opener. He still wanted me to do and I actually do want to bring that up Look at that rogue damage man. It's insane World of rogue craft is real We're going to see zeroed once again try to get himself in the position to Be in that flare take full advantage of being a night elf and try to prevent the absolute onslaught That payo can do with a successful opener payo most likely going to go for the grenade again He's expecting to see zeroed right on top But then zeroed immediately counters his grenade with a scatter shot leading that up into a trap and zeroed goes ahead and gets At max range now What's going to happen zeroed already at probably 36 to 40 yard range Charging up an aim shot payo is moving towards him. He hits him and then let's see how this is going to go Oh payo hits him with a Blind, okay This could be the restart that he needs now one of the big things is when you do look at the potential for the scatter shot It's such a huge play by a hundred Right there and then immediately zeroed hits payo with a bomb to hopefully Make the gap here. Let's see if that's going to happen or not payo should oh, there's a trap again So zeroed is going to be able to reset and I don't think payo was used He hasn't used vanish. So I'm pretty sure he might have a lot of tools Oh, and zero goes for another shadow mill that makes it very interesting payo immediately tries to go after him zeroed Hit someone with a concussive starts a concussive shot starts kiting him I don't know how this is going to go payo is getting right over to him If payo makes it over to zeroed this matches completely over and you can see payo is going to be Watch for his dual range. He's he's running out of dual range right now He's trying to cut as far as possible payo Going to be able to close that space will we see that explosive damage that's come out from him before Zero is still going to be relatively open and there's a stun and then payo is going to be able to close it out And then he does right there. Oh my god. There's a trap zeroed He faint death the last hit zeroed is going to make distance again payo gets out of the trap right there He goes to maybe kill he gouges the pet. So then zeroed has to actually attack him right there He throws another grenade at payo the grenade hits payo payo is at very very low health zero Is it also lower health? Let's see what's going to happen. If payo connects to zeroed. He wins, right? This is really really right down to the wire here and then oh Oh my god, that is almost 400 He kills the pet. He's at 36 What's going to happen here and then zeroed finishes him off that was right down to it Okay, here we go. Uh zero drops the flare and uh, let's see He's going to go obviously right in the stealth and then we're waiting on payo to do the opener Let's see how this is going to go payo is sitting there. He's waiting there We don't know what's going to happen. He's deciding what's going to happen. He's sitting there biding his time I don't know what this is going to be boys I think he might be thinking about doing a chicken. Let's see. So there we go He goes in there And then he gets a scatter shot out there immediately payo has the chicken out there He's opening up on him. We're going to get are we going to get the trap off or not? Let's see. Oh zero does get the trap and payo again Zeroed's already got your sorry payo already has zeroed down to like what 60 health or something like that That's obviously not very good So here we go payo is obviously trying to do a little bit of damage to the pet as he's working his way over towards zeroed And oh wow payo is going for he's going for the long stretch So he's actually going to kill the pet. He's killing the pet payo's not even the half health The pet is already dead now zeroed is in a very very awkward position and payo goes for the full heal This could be really bad. It doesn't this really all depends right now If i think he has to stay in combat or not, i think payo is obviously going in the opposite direction So he can leave combat so zeroed can't make a make distance to him But this the small little like whatever the the bird thing here is keeping him in combat And uh, he's not able to go into uh stealth here or not And then let's see what's going to happen here It goes for i think that distract and then zeroed is eating up right here And then payo just needs to get right over to him But zero did an amazing job taking advantage of that heal I think the big thing to know though is payo should be able to get another opener here I actually think he is going to think that he might be able to he's already going he's he's dashing over to him right now And then zeroed is probably going to go for the trap right there He goes for the trap and a second reset This is not good for payo because payo just used his stealth to get over there And zeroed is using his trap time here to heal up and reset now obviously payo is going the opposite direction He's going to stealth try to get back into stealth to reset the fight if payo gets the reset it's over But obviously he wasn't able to zeroed tries to move in a little bit more and then payo is just running away right now He's getting pretty low health. This is not looking good for payo at all zeroed is at full health and I think payo is Let's see 23 health 42 damage learned a bunch from chat now It's time to learn a bunch from healing stat. What are we actually going to see from a priest in this tournament? How will he fare against the rogue instantly? He's going to make sure that he is set up with that bubble He's going to have the maximum amount of protection that he can to fight against the opener from the rogue Will we actually see hot form have that beautiful opener and be able to take down Healing stat instantly and we can actually look at some of these povs right now and now Right there. He's just waiting for that rogue to pop up. He's got his shield on he's got his inner fire on He's got all of his buffs and he is ready to go waiting for that rogue to pop off on him And let's see how this is going to go the rogue opens up with a sap He's waiting to get back into sheep and then he saps him again. What's going on here I'm a little bit confused, but we'll see what happened. Oh, he's waiting for his energy to regen And here we go He goes back into stealth and he opens up with garrote Hemorrhage and then he's got crippling poison on him. He immediately fears healing stat tries to fear He trinkets out of the fear and then immediately stuns him with a blackout proc into a grenade healing stat Oh mine controls him Oh my goodness and look at how tanky healing stat is as well like healing stat was so tanky He just like took that opener on the chin. It was totally fine with it Now he's going to be able to reset the match up. Will we see hot form be able to find stealth again? And what we basically I don't think we are going to see combat is going to be dropped You don't get coca shadows until burning crusade. He's right at max range. This is not good at all Hot form is going towards them right here. Let's see if it's going to happen healing stat is making some damage Hot form immediately goes for the blind. He's waiting for devouring play to come off He's obviously deciding. Okay, is it going to be enough time or not? Obviously, it's not he's going to probably try and wait for one tick and then go back into stealth and go for a sap And then go for a oh, I don't know about this. This is going to be interrupted right there He's taking his time to a drink. Hey, you know, he's taking his time He might actually just be waiting for for coca shadows to actually come out now He's finally going to get the opener, but he's going to retaliate with the fear and there's the whelpling as well It's going to be moving in how much we'll be able to do not garrow to whelping But you can kill it. It's already dead and then he's moving all the way over to healing So right now healing says that half mana healing says running away making distance on him with the dots up And then he's hot form tries to run away and then healing said hits him with the grenade as he goes away Healing said doing as much damage as possible hot form at 20 health healing said has complete control over this match Hot form is running out for some sort of a self some sort of a reset something right here And he's immediately going in there. He tried to shadow meld into a drink Obviously the damage is going to break the shadow meld healing said knew that was going to happen He waited and then he reapplied devouring or sorry Shadow word pain and he stunned him with a blackout proc This is not looking good for hot form at all This is when you put the gaches in the chat because adrian is just having the beefiest amount of damage right now And look how much mana he still has he still has a thousand man going for the wand He's going for the wand Easy easy win for adrian There it is boys And he was able to just shut down pretty much all of the damage that hot form was even able to put out in the Opener now hot form is one of those players that also has been just so focused on everything Cheat shot a cheap shot a cheap shot instead of a garrote and then immediately healing sat fears him out of that Resetting basically the entire opener and I think that we're getting a little bit of deja vu healing said at max range And then he's trying to get away here hot form doesn't know if he should try to reset or not And healing said has got the dots on him hot form is slowly ticking down He gets a devouring plague and then he just barely I don't think he got that stealth damage off or not and here we go Dude adrian is just looking nasty right now. He is looking nasty now We're gonna watch a short video of pale And so the thing is here is that sometimes not only do we have uh stream snipers, but we also have clip snipers So, uh, you know, that's the way that it goes but obviously getting back right here into the match and obviously we didn't miss much because we already saw before in the First game hot form is running out in the max range to hopefully reshet shadow word pain already has what 10 seconds left on it There's no way he's going to be able to reset before he is dangerously low on health healing sat However is very dangerous to go on man. So this is going to be very curious But he did reapply shadow word pain And I think that we might see a devouring plague come up pretty soon here And that could be the end of the match we also saw a wand close it last time and this is adrian So this is this is what we call absolutely calculated This is a really nice attempt though here for hot form to actually be able to reset And we're going to be able to see the sap come out as well So hot form definitely going to be towing the line here But what we see healing stat do the reason he is so low on mana He's able to calculate the fact that he puts out so much pressure that he can potentially get this quick kill Against the rogue and just shut down all of the things that he does have at his disposal Play to the advantage of not having any of these big resets now hot form He's able to get a little bit of a heal But a big resist going to come in He's still into into that that invisibility though. He is still stealth So he still will have that opener that is big for hot form He's going to be able to get that sap onto healing step But look at what healing step was able to get he was able to get more mana than hot form was able to get health He's going to get right out with that fear now the shield's going to be up healing stat should be able to close it out here Oh, man, that's what you like to call rng and sometimes That's a god another amazing job that i'm about to do is uh interview, uh, mr. Healing stat here He's running around. I lost him healing I don't know how that happened so so mr. Healing stat, um, what would you Where are you at? I'm here. Hello. There you are. Okay. There you are. I didn't know it's so weird It's like almost like I can only see in one direction. Uh, yeah, so healing stat How did you feel about that matchup priests versus rogue? Um, so actually in the level 30 drill tournament. I was defeated by payo who was playing rogue, of course Um, and so I was really sorry. I can't hear you. Can you get a little closer to the mic a little bit to your left, please? Oh, sorry over here. Is that better? Yeah a little Okay, good. Uh, yeah, sorry. I like as an undead my throat is a bit coarse So that's why I talk a little bit low but um the the rogue first priest matchup was a little bit tough for me so That's why I I actually built my entire build around this one matchup So I'm a little bit concerned Uh going forward because I'm not set up for example against mages of shamans later on that against rogue I felt pretty confident and uh, it was pretty it was pretty one-sided. I think so you so you went with the strategy of Put all your eggs in one basket early on and then whatever happens happens later down the road Yeah, I'm kind of winging it Okay, we're getting ambushed here. So we better we better get moving. Thank you for your time Thank you. Yes, fund Faces the place warrior versus warrior Sony already showed just how much damage he's able to get out. Noxia being one of these players that we play Okay, these great charges They both go into berserker stance and sony gets the intercept off before nexa does and then he immediately summons his dragon Oh, my sony down and then nexa does a dodge sony responds by doing overpower Nexa is already below half health sony is over half health sony went for a grenade It didn't quite go off nexa tries to hit him with the grenade and nexa is going down to zero health Sony pulls out ahead. That was not even close I don't know why I said two Okay, here we go and they're both running towards each other They immediately trade charges just as usual and then they're basically right now Let's see what's going to happen then immediately sony hits him with the uh, oh my god with the stun into the grenade And into the improved hamstring sony is moving in and out of melee range nexa does a dodge That's not good for him sony goes back into battle stance to oh my god And then nexa is still taking so much damage He's doing everything that he can sony is running away nexa might try to go for an intercept But it's not going to happen nexa going down with sony at half health when I used to cast over chuck But we're going to have to see if c do is going to be able to do do on stay safe Oh, well at least stay safe immediately starting off with a better opener there because he was able to use the uh, What do you call it? Uh, the grenade and actually hit c do there c do is staying on stay safe right there Oh my god, that's a big one going for the chain lightning and the iron grenade right after that We see the sac when the void walker stay safe is probably going to go for a fear c do sees blood He's going for it. He's doing as much damage as possible stay safe has 300 health 100 health and he's dead c do closes it out at half health Is the explosive potential of an elemental shaman Let's get this started. We've seen c do with absolutely Explosive starts you can see stay safe He's already in a position here where he's a little bit nervous going up against the blizzcon champion But this guy is a classic god the fear will oh nice play there He's going to try to get a little bit of dancing going on but c do is going to play around that so well Oh my god, I mean they dropped the firenova totem there stay safe already at only 900 health He's trying to just make distance with c do but c do is just going for the range attacks And it looks like stay safe might be out of the game here And then there we go with the wind fury frock to finish it off c do takes the wind To oh and stay safe goes down into the lower bracket. Holy shit. Look at chuck's face, too He's not even happy. He wants more. Well, of course. He literally like this is look at him. You're like, yeah Yeah, you know, I did the thing Five gifts it in the chat bro easy bud easy bud easy. All right, uh Mr. Do Nice to meet you. What's up, bro? How's it going? Uh, there was obviously very good performance How'd you feel about the matchup versus a versus a warlock? I wasn't really sure if it was good or bad I really haven't doled warlocks that often I think I doled snuts once a while ago and he beat me But it was like the first time I played ellie um, so I've kind of learned some stuff, but um Yeah, I don't know. I guess I guess it was pretty good. It's cold as ice Yeah, you're looking you're looking pretty icy there, but uh, I think you're doing all right I think uh, so so how'd you feel about the uh, the usage of earth shock? You've got trevor totem grounding totem. You have uh, you have quite a few different tools to use against the warlock Did you uh, did you feel like you had an advantage there after the fact? I feel like if I get fear it's probably my fault Over hey, hey over here over here all right turn around. Thank you No, okay. Well You look you look a little bit. Uh, you look a little bit scatterbrained right now So, uh, I think I'm gonna let you go chuck. Thank you so much and we'll uh, we'll talk to you later Ggs. Thanks But it seems pretty uh pretty obvious that might be the case guys keep in mind the rules always going to be very important There you got a long look at those so you know everything to expect inside of this matchup as we started off Ziko's going to go for that polymorph rep though going to be connected on to ziko instantly We're going to see none other than absurge trying to get that auto attack damage out He's finally going to be caught into the sheep. That's going to buy ziko a nice amount of time He's going to get in this is an aggressive black lizard. Okay. Here we go Immediately getting them down the half health hitting him with the uh, the proc for the root there absurge getting the uh, what is that? The blessing of freedom. I don't know how this is going to go absurge has a lot of catching up to do It looks like he's going to have to bubble right here and let's see what's going to happen He goes for the lay on hands immediately and then ziko just sheeps them right after that Completely denies the lay on hands and uses it as an opportunity to completely reset That is not good at all so lay on hands It's probably the only time that we're going to see it inside of this matchup He's going to go ahead and use it but ziko is basically in a situation where he is. Okay. Yeah, sure I'm going to my tools to actually I'm going to use my tools to actually sit back and reset He's going to get some mana here. But we saw him play so aggressive. Yeah the fireball is going to be ticking now This guy's just popping off right here absurge already almost half health now absurge still does have bubbles So that is one thing that he still has but uh ziko is a full mana I mean, this is obviously not good for him ziko immediately blocks out of the repent. This is an aggressive play This is extremely aggressive ziko. Just just so much confidence right here absurge is at 25 health And now he's at zero. Okay. There we go. All right. Here we go. Let's do it Okay absurge is moving towards black lizard and immediately gets rooted there and then uh, let's see it looks like ziko is going to try Oh, oh, wow He just blinked right away out of that stun and then he goes for the interrupt and then absurge interrupts the uh The polymorph with the repent. Okay. Here we go. Oh my goodness. Yeah, very interesting way to start this off Yeah, these guys going absolutely ham now caught in the sheep is going to be abster ziko's got a full tank of mana 72 Percent mana here. He's gonna go down for your drink. He's good. Let's make sure it's a 100 percent So he's getting ready just so he can pop off hits him with a rank one Frostbolt, okay with the resist there. That's obviously not very good at all for ziko. He knows that's good It's not good. So obviously what does he do? He resets again? He polymorphs again Okay, and there we go. And he's just fighting him right in range. He's not even worried about getting max range He's actually going and being as offensive as possible. Just like what we saw at the beginning He goes for the uh, obviously a what do you call it? Uh, uh, oh What were you saying? What are you saying? Absolutely deleted. He's gonna tear him apart like soft bread ziko's gonna be able to take this one You do need to actually look out here. You do need to look out here You can actually see it from you can see it from those Prowing around there. You got those pussy cats and we all know that if you do get too close to the pussy Can completely ruin world of warcraft it could really ruin the duel So you do want to be staying away from those guys when we are competing on this terrain? Yes, uh, we're here We're here with ziko, uh, mr. Ziko. How do you feel about that duel? I feel pretty good. I mean it was sad that it, you know got a little bit dragged on because of griefing But you know absolutely great player, you know, you played the match up, you know, perfectly and uh, yeah It was fun. Nice. Can you get a little bit to your left? I can't I can't hear you quite well Oh, I'm sorry, uh Much better much better. Yeah, much better much better So I gotta say that's fun. How does it feel having the the best hair on twitch? Hey second best second best to you Oh, you're too kind, but I shaved so you know now you're not your friend. No, it's still good. It's still good Well, I appreciate that. No, I'm just really nice. I do have the best hair on twitch. Can you tell him I miss him? I miss I miss you too rich So how did you feel about the the paladin mage matchup? We saw one before we saw one with venerookie in drakova How did you feel about uh, playing against abstrige? Was it uh, was it the sort of thing where was it about what you expected or no? Um, no, I think it was easy Really? No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding I guess threats it's all about the the freedom, you know, as you know yourself as fun being, you know One of the leading rats here on the beta Um, and yeah, it's just yeah, I need real life, of course Yeah, it's just all about the freedom, you know, so if you if you if you get a nova when they don't have freedom You're you're showing that's right. And that's what we're about man We're about freedom here and uh, that's why we're doing this here on this here eve of july 4th So we're big on freedom. We're gonna have freedom tomorrow. We're gonna have freedom august 27th Whenever we have freedom every day because this is america. Hell. Yeah, brother. That's what I like. Yeah, brother All right back to you guys And really starting to see what what this player can do here we go And then they're immediately starting off all seeing I just goes moves up right directly to him And he keeps the roof at the frostbolt and then oh wow and he's immediately Did he just ice block or trap out of that? Oh my god july beans is already at 39 health 26 health all seeing I is just deleting jelly beans This is insane and then jelly beans get slightly healed up and then is all seeing I gonna be able to finish it off With an arcane explosion or maybe a cone of cold and then he immediately pulls it off I actually thought all seeing I was a warlock. I was wondering why there weren't any dots there But it turns out that he's a fucking mage Dude jelly beans look at that dude jelly beans, bro Let's make this happen. Here we go. And then they immediately start off all seeing I is immediately kiting him there Jelly beans is keeping him at max range He's using bipers saying to run all seeing I out of mana and he got rooted by all seeing I with the the trinket The shrink way as well with the attack power reduction And then here we go all seeing I coming right back at him hitting him there with the cone of cold And then okay here we go he got out of the oh it's a trap Okay, that's good. He immediately got out of the trap rooted him again with that And then he stayed within his dead zone there He trinket or sorry blinked over inside of his dead zone as well Remember look at all seeing I with this dead zone thing. This is incredible And he's just finishing him off with an arcane explosion. Holy shit that dead zone management was insane You can see right now on jelly beans scream. It said most recent D I think we just saw a very big recent D and it was coming in from all seeing I let's do it All right next duel is going to be up against bean against snuts hunter versus warlock He's been so then they immediately open up bean opens up right there And then he tries to trap him but bean accidentally traps the pet that's not good at all Snuts just starts putting up dots on him right there He's probably gonna try to fear the pet but maybe not he just puts a curse of agony on him And then he's actually dotting up the pet already and then bean is just damaging down snuts like it's nobody's business Oh my god bean is popping off. This is what I heard. This might be this might not be over. Oh my god Look at this. Okay. So snuts is definitely going to be able to hold on Which is fantastic for now, but he's got the fear exactly and then he oh he stopped the fear Did he stop the fear of counter counter shot bean has so much at his disposal. Whoa Oh, that is that trap that trap that trap. Okay, here we go And then he's moving away right there. He's summoning the void walker. He immediately got the summon off So that's going to give him a second trap. He moved now a range of fear So obviously he's going to have to get in range there now really all bean needs to do is auto attack Snuts and I think that he might win but snuts also has a second He has a second absorb and snuts is just sitting on it He's actually letting that pet do as much damage as possible. This is going to be right down the wire He uses the absorb snuts is basically just finishing it off. He's going to go for another trap to maybe trap and move out the absorb This is right down to the wire. This is where bean should win He should be able to eat here while he's in the trap and then instantly kill him when he does get out Because now his pet can close the space get a little bit of damage and snuts is completely tapped on mana And this goes for the stun and then snuts is going for the wand. This is right down to it I think snuts is actually gonna Snuts one. Oh my god What the fuck? This is a no bead wood Okay, and you can see right now that that this is already under way. Do they just want to keep playing this one out? I mean we can just I don't know. Yeah, let's just play this one out play it out They'll play it out. Let's go They want it. They want it. They're ready for it and already we can see it sells to the wire again Snuts is going to be so low on health. We're going to see bean try to get in close that space He's going to be able to get the trap. Oh my god Um This is again right down to the wire. I don't know what's going to look how calculated it is by bean This is why people were talking up bean. He knows exactly when he's going to faint the faint death Getting with the trap close snuts already out of mana again. He's got nothing to work with bean He's got a wand him. He's he's wanting bean to death Basically, snuts is just hoping that orb shield is big enough and I don't think it is bean one again All right, bean. Uh, nice to meet you, sir. Nice to meet you. Thanks. Can you can you please uh, look at me, please Please i'm gonna cameras this way. Thank you. Hello. Yeah. Nice to meet you, sir How'd you feel about doing snuts? How'd you feel about the the warlock hunter matchup? You know, I was pretty inexperienced first warlock only doing them like once or twice But I knew my general plan is to pretty much trap him kill his pet force the sack early, you know Viper sting him umum and just dampen him Very good. So very methodical approach Uh, so so did you use a similar strategy one of your fighting mages or no? Oh, well, I am doing a mages next round, so I'm not gonna reveal that information. You guys will have to wait and see Stay tuned. Stay tuned. No, stay tuned. Mr. Bean. We'll we'll talk to you later Thank you Okay, here we go guys. Let's do it Zero to challenge you to a duel Let's go Where is zeroed's pet? Uh, he's probably still oh and then zeroed immediately starts at the beginning with a shadow meld And he scatter shots ben rookie with the uh the viper sting so it doesn't immediately break on damage then go for dead zone Oh, he's going for dead zone right there. He hit the cona cold He drops the iron grenade and then zeroed got out of that is impressive And then he's just immediately just going directly after him ben rookie is just a wild animal He's going for blood zeroed is moving away as much as possible Ben rookie is trying to cast on him hits him with a frost Sorry a fire blast keeping him slowed and then oh my god Okay, there's the root there with the trap and then ben rookie is just keeping him right there directly in place Ben rookie goes back to the dead zone trying to keep in that dead zone staying there zeroed is pretty well on health But so has ben rookie ben rookie is going all in here Well, ellie definitely is a jungle cat with his claws out going absolutely crazy inside of the dead zone But look at what happened. He is absolutely no mana. Can he get the close here? He's trying to do it on zero Zero now is going to go in with his melee weapon This is an auto attack andy dual will the one be able to do with the frost over comes off He's able to get off that burst of damage. He goes into his ice block and just like that zero defeated ben rookie in a duel In a dramatic reversal of fate something. I don't think anybody would have expected that is incredible Man ben rookie did use his ice block though there was an ice block, but did he use a cold snap? I did not use a cold. Okay. Here we go. He might have been Wait, did you see that right there? He immediately opened up the rank one frost bulb to stop him from going into shadow month That's very very good. And then he stops right there in the dead zone. He stopped zeroed. He's doing the big one Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, he hits him for 400 zeroed is stunned He immediately double hit him right there with a frost shock and also a fireblast with a critical strike This is not looking good. There's a rush. He first aids and then he immediately hits him again And then ben rookie is just oh, this is That was a bloodbath. He took all the damage from the cat. He took all that pussy to the face It wasn't even a problem for him. And then he's absolutely able to shred I don't even I don't think zero's ready for that at all. Look at him. Oh, wait. They're already back in game So immediately ben rookie wait That was a trap. No, I think out of the scatter That was either a nice block out of the scatter or it was a trap But I think it looked like an ice block. Yeah, really really good for zero That is really good for zero and then he's right in the dead zone. He had some of the clinical I don't think it matters for zero. He's rooted and then he just keeps getting his cast interrupted He can't really do anything right there and he immediately gets trapped that is not good Zero is going to try to get range from and try to catch up with this damage. Let's see if it's going to happen He's just tanking this pet damage time and time again It's a completely opposite strategy than what we expected from him But that trap was beautiful and that does mean that I think we had an ice block to start things off What is this? And then oh, he's sheep the pet and then he blink forward baiting zeroed and then he's immediately getting in range He ranked one frost ball like 32 percent zeroed. He is really low on mana. This is not good I don't know if uh, if if if in rookie's gonna have enough here. I really don't know this seems pretty bad Is that okay? What the fuck? Was that Then then's opening up the vod to see what we have to say you're a Sexy beast. You're just as sexy. What did you just do? What did you just do explain it to us, please? Oh my god Dude ven literally just stream sniped us because he's like damage. He's just like, yeah, let's just see where the casters have to save on Oh from the cast or to the casted Okay, dude, just not a big deal ven rookie and guys were here joined by ven rookie once more. He just beat zeroed in round two Tell us about it um Well, we had a few surprises. Obviously you guys got to see that and Um, yeah, you guys kind of mentioned how we got to duel against bean yesterday and I think it was a wake up call but Oh, yes, some people in the desk were saying that that you know bean I think bean is kind of like a different beast. I think he's really really good player He's got a ton of gear if you will. Yes, exactly. He's a different chickpea and uh, the thing is This is something I kind of always say is I don't always you know what I mean? You don't always Practice I'm not going to stream all my practice in every strategy. I'm going to implement in a tournament So naturally that's why you always you hold on to a few surprises Right, so so it looked like what you went with there in the first duel you played a lot more Uh, a lot more passively trying to focus on poking more and wearing them down a little bit And then you got much more aggressive in the last two duels. Um, what what made you kind of flip the switch? I lost So I was like, all right Well, let's do or die time to reveal that we wanted to hold on to those As long as we can because it's not like the obviously you guys probably looked up the big one It's not something everyone has prepared for this tournament and Uh, we got it ready to roll and back against the wall. We got to bust out all the stops, you know There you go. Very good. Mr. Rookie Thank you for joining us All right, thank you We got a we got a big one there to take care of You can see the duel right now. It's going it's going on. It's so hard at the beginning. Let's go. We'll just keep going It's fine. It doesn't matter grenade gonna come out here. Let's go Yeah, we see the grenade go out Trying to close that space Sony going to start taking a little bit of damage here But it is going to be healing set that's torn into that is half out Yeah, he's got plenty of manner though to work with if he can create a little bit of space The question is whether or not he's going to be able to do it He's going to go for a mind control to try to do it. Oh, wow Run him away. This is really what we expected him. He's not having it He's $15 a month to not even play my character and you can also see that yeah, this is this is beautifully done by healing staff We saw him use the mind control in the last one as well. Now. It's going to be Sony He was rotting down quite a bit. He's reconnects to him. That's a big crit. That is so good for Sony He immediately got a big crit now He's got to fight through that absorb shield and he's already through it again And then healing set only really has to do 600 damage to him five or damage to him And I think that he can probably just wand it. Oh, what the fuck? What what the fuck? Lucky is okay. They're back at it. Let's go. Let's they're back at it Let's go. Here's the thing. Sony healing set makes the distance and then okay. I want to say this really quick Sony basically there was a Tiny little opportunity. Yeah, and he used it. That's not luck. That's being a god Let's see if he's able to do that again. We'll say he's already in half health And then he gets mind controlled away from healing set He's doing the exact same thing and then immediately he goes for the uh the Bandage which was actually really good because there wasn't a dot on him at the beginning That's really really bad for uh for healing set healing sets already blow half mana Sony's doing really well right now He's trying to wand him down and sony's got about a thousand health left But healing sets already lost his shield. He got feared again. Sony berserker rages right out of the fear He stuns the uh, what was that? But he war stomps that and then I think healing set might go for a second mind control But it doesn't really matter. I mean so oh he got another shield This is not good for sony. This is not good for sony Unless that unless he gets another round of lucky crits. That's gonna be over. Okay, so it's starting off Obviously, sony's probably got the charge off right there. There we go And then immediately hitting him with a 4 000 and then healing set is immediately trying to mind control him right away Immediately and then he's running away here and he immediately stuns the interrupt here He's trying to do as much damage as possible He interrupted that stun or that heal with the grenade here We go and healing set is basically just trying to heal through the damage All he's doing is rotting down sony right now. He's playing the long game Sony keep in mind is already down one thousand health almost But sony is also true chewed through so much of that mana and that's why atrian needs to get this mind control here If he can get this create the gap create the space Then those that rock pressure that he gets out is actually going to be very big But sony's just been denying absolutely everything we're finding atrian almost tapped out a mana only six hundred and twenty nine left And then you're gonna be able to charge you sony might take it Another charge is this gonna be is this gonna be a reversal of fate Is sony actually going to come out ahead here? Healing status got to do something massive to make sure that uh, I all right, so Mr. Uh, mr. Digital nice to see you a great performance there You know, I thought you I thought you looked pretty big, but uh, I didn't realize as big as you are So, I mean, it's pretty it's pretty good But uh, I'd say we're equal size kind of yeah, i'm kind of surprised Maybe I could worse jump like you too, but uh, but yeah, so that was a great match I think that a lot of people went into that duel and uh, thought the priest had a pretty significant advantage against you I do think you had a few things in your favor at level 40 comparing global 40 meta to the level 30 meta You now have mortal strike, which is something that I do think played a big factor in. What do you think? Uh, yeah, mortal strikes huge obviously because it reduces the caught that you know, how effective his heels are But other than that, you know warriors don't get a whole lot at 40 given We're still using whirlwind acts and stuff, but I'm just happy I was able to kind of present showcase a warrior Um, you know warriors potential so indubitably indubitably Do you have any uh, do you have any other uh thoughts about this any other thoughts about the match up or going forward? Well, so I noticed that you guys didn't interview me after uh, the first round And I was just kind of wondering like is you got something against warriors I had to like win my second round just to get an interview up here. How's that working? I do I do rep rio. Okay. That's what I have against warriors All right. It definitely it definitely wasn't because I forgot to plug in the headset last night And I've been charging in between interviews. That is definitely not the reason So no, no, I'm just messing. I'm just messing but yo real quick I don't know if I'm gonna get next rounded probably willed have been rookie You guys are killing it. This tournament's awesome production values hilarious. Keep it running boys Hello, I think I can't hear us fin What happened? Frick Die again. All right, here we go cdu versus uh All right, let's start off. He immediately opens up with a rank one frost bolt He gets tries to get a second one urshock interrupts the cast cdu immediately gets rooted by that thing and then oh, that's an immunity Okay, he immune to I guess he ground it right there. He gets a uh a crit on the cone of cold Okay, here we go cdu still at 100 health and then this is what I was talking about before Yep, here we go. Here's uh, here's ziko resetting here. He's going getting ready cdu's sitting there He doesn't know what to do doesn't know what's gonna happen Ziko resets The polymorph. All right now what you can also see right there on top of him He's right there on top of him He hits him with the grenade right there and then cdu comes right out of it dealing damage Okay, and then what though? Oh, we just took him right down to half health. Okay. That's how fast it can happen That's what cdu is relying on right there And then he's just trying to get away Obviously ziko just went and he reset right there with an ice block. He got right out of it Hit him with a cone of cold Now all the thing like the only thing that ziko can't let happen is for cdu to reset here I think this could be cdu's game or sorry ziko's game to lose here And you can see ziko continuing to pump out the damage But when we saw ziko actually could go down here. He's still a 50% man to work with chain lightning chain lightning Oh, he blocked the chain lightning and then he goes for the western healing wave He's trying to finish him wait ziko can't quite finish it is cdu actually going to win this He might have to try to reset all the way. I think he just went see he should oh my god Is this going to be it ziko went all in This is the big thing is maybe it was just connect here Yeah, he's just trying to run away right now running around the entirety of the island The big thing is you saw the hands go up from cdu when he was cheap 5% health Leaving the dueling area he's trying not to he's trying not to and then that's the frost shocker The earth shock that just ended it all now getting the duel underway. The question is we'll see to be able to make this one A two here we go. And then so they're starting off right there immediately Ziko does the exact same thing goes for the rank one uh frost pole just to keep him at max range now at this point obviously Ziko is going to be billing much more defensively than he was in the first round He doesn't have as many outs. He can't play as offensively And he's trying to just wait for that perfect opportunity to just go in there and he got right out of that sheep That is not good for ziko at all Uh-oh, and then it is another polymorph though That's one of the good things about being a mage This is relative and he's back out of it though. It's decent timing for it to happen because there isn't that much That's already transpired in the matchup. Uh, going to try to close a little bit of the space here He's running all the way over there. Okay. Yeah, I mean, he doesn't want to let ziko drink Yeah, yeah, that's basically what's happening. So cdu is actually winning this right now I mean like ziko is already a half man. I don't think that he used uh I don't think they used evo kate in the first round though. Yeah, you're gonna see the chain lightning It's a chain lightning. That damage is so ridiculous. Look at that two 300 damage almost ziko is already under 50 health and cdu is just chasing him down We see him right there out by the water. We throw the iron grenade. Is he gonna get it? He still gets it because of spell batching. Let's see how this is gonna go and then immediately He just fried him so hard that we saw the bracket for a second. It literally guys I want you to explain it did so much damage That we couldn't even see it We didn't want to show you that damage because we knew it would scare everybody It's tos. It's actually tos to show that much damage at once. It's disgusting Excuse me asman. I'm talking. Please don't interrupt me. Sorry Chuck douland Do you know does anybody ever told you like your name sounds like you could be like A sheriff or like one of those like local lawyers like on local tv like chuck douland the texas hammer like have you ever Chuck douland attorney in law. Yeah, I think dude. I think it would work So how do you feel how did you feel about that match against mage? Um, I was a little afraid of ziko because he plays like really aggressive But uh, fortunately for me I think it was in my favor to have dueled him before the tournament started because I know exactly what he wants What he wants to do he wants to shoot me early on And then he wants to go really hard with like the big the big bomb five seconds done And I was just like super ready for it So I was just able to instant shrink it the first one and then I just try and stall out sheeps for as long as possible And I think I had some really good uh early breaks and that last duel So he didn't actually have time to set it up and I didn't have to drink it So, you know a little bit of luck involved but uh big numbers. Yeah, it seems like people are really really excited about this So like a crowd is all gathering around. It's really really nice So people uh people obviously are big fans and they're very uh, they're very excited to see you pull that off Definitely. Yeah All right. Thank you, mr. Dew Talk to you soon. Thank you very much. Hey, we'll actually put sleeves back on maybe getting a little bit chilly for a little payout All right, here we go He immediately goes into stealth dracobas waiting probably might have perception up. We'll see what's gonna happen So we're waiting on dracoba. Oh, he immediately gets payout and then pay a response by getting a gouge. Okay. That's good That's very good. Very nice. Hey, I was getting away. He's gonna be able to get a restel here And then that's going back. Oh Oh Wow, what is this? What this is a french canadian strad if i've ever seen one myself This is incredible. He got on the mount and obviously that didn't work out He brought out the pet and then he's just gonna immediately start attacking dracoba payout is already down a thousand health This is not looking good for him already It's the fourth of july classic gets on that mount paul reveres the british are coming the british are coming But the question is where is the damage gonna come from we can already see full combo points happen established on the side of payout Are we going to see that burst that we saw earlier on? Yeah, that paul is just absolutely destroying dracoba dracoba is losing so much health and dracoba bubbles and paul It vanishes. Okay. This is a reset. This is the first reset payout Obviously has to get away and heal himself up and then we're going to get back into this and uh, honestly at this point I mean this could be anybody's game Well, keep in mind as well some of the strengths that are going to happen to classes that are a little bit Burstier with their toolkits. They're going to use everything in a matchup like this. This is the best Okay, that that's so That's so good. So paul obviously was kept in combat with the dragonling He sapped him and then he has two pets these pets right here Are gonna hurt paul so much because he's got to go watch out the pets now He's gonna probably start actually eating here and uh dracoba can just sit right back down and start drinking And he was able to switch off his trinkets too as well So now he's got his uh pup trinket up and as well as the mark of the chosen so he can get more stats paul's sitting down here getting ready to drink and this is basically a full reset minus Minus vanish and minus bubble. Yeah, I think a full reset is exactly kind of what both these players want They're gonna allow uh each other to take that time We're going to see manna getting grabbed for dracoba and keep in mind what he was able to do in that first round Right. He already was somebody that made us believe he's trying to go for that deep run After playing it so close against venerookie somebody who is really trying to figure out that matchup being one of the horde players That hasn't had dueling experience as much against some of these poudins If you don't know the name dracoba, you definitely want to throw some respect on it It was esfan who was actually talking him up saying how highly he did rate this player If there was going to be somebody to represent the class He said it was going to be this guy and now he's going to be fishing Trying to get out the rogue from stealth who is actually lighting a basic campfire Little payout taking a little break here. He said he took his nap out of game and now he's uh going to be taking a snap Hey, man. I'm a role player as well Dracoba is running around randomly outside trying to throw grenades Oh They was looking for some fish to cook right now on on that fireplace. Oh my god Uh, he's definitely gonna have oh my oh, what is this cooking god? What is this? He actually got it? You got a fish. I don't think dracoba. Oh, yeah. I mean, oh, he's a great player. What can I say? Okay, doesn't matter which aspect of the game. We're seeing that payo is Completely 99 fishing. He's everything The problem is he can't tap target because I think it targets the other the other world players Yeah, you can't have target payo's gonna come out But yet dracoba looked more lost there than some of our our friends in the wow section when they Are at the bar trying to hit on ladies But finally dracoba now is going to see his target Will he be able to laser beam focus on to him or is payo just going to Dirtle around more and enjoy this beautiful july 3rd day See how this is gonna happen So payo's just chilling hanging out just having a good time just whenever he gets a chance Maybe going back over to dracoba and attack him and then maybe get a little sap right there Okay, and then we have payo. He's able to just sit here and wait. Let's see what this is gonna happen How this is gonna go. So something. Okay, it is against the rules for a rogue to sit and stealth and delay the duel for too long Oh, well, he's not delaying. He's getting right back. He wasn't even stealth Yeah, here we go. I'm just saying let's do it something to consider. I know if he gets too bad Can we have the horde kill rich turfin? He's right next to him Uh, yeah, I think the other thing that we do need to keep in mind Is that payo has just some of the most damage on the planet and dracoba is already half out payo Is just so confident making sure he's absolutely completely ready. He saps him again I don't know what he's thinking with this battle chicken If he's just not going to deal with the battle chicken at all and focus entirely on killing dracoba Let's find out So payo's going to go back in the stealth right here and probably reopen on dracoba There we go at the cheap shot dracoba trinkets right out of it He stuns payo with a bomb and then dracoba immediately heals himself up back almost Oh, he gets interrupted. This is not good for dracoba at all dracoba has a sword and shield on He's drinking lower and lower and lower on health. He gets a gouge payo is getting ready He's letting his energy regen and then dracoba is able to repentance and maybe get a holy light off I'm pretty sure he will and this is going to take dracoba. Maybe up to 60% health We'll see you got to choke the chicken or get choked by the chicken and it looks like this chicken might just Overwhelm dracoba here. He is going to back off just a little bit full combo points We're going to see a big chunky finisher move just rip dracoba to shreds This is not good at all for dracoba and then he opens up back with a stun This is actually not very good for payo either. This is where dracoba can turn things around a little bit And then dracoba as you guys saw just right there use this lay on hands That's basically one of the last things that he has available to him I think you can also use blessing and protection, but we'll see if that's going to even happen So dracoba is almost happy he's half health again even after a lay on hands He's got mechanical dragonling attacking him on top of payo Payo is just chunking him down payo with almost full energy or there it is So payo you went with a very interesting strategy there. I saw you were out there um You're out there you you were camping a little bit in the middle of the duel You're rejenning your spirit with that basic campfire. Oh, did I cheat? Oh, yeah, she cheated. Yeah, I forgot about that Kind of cheated. Uh, no, no, it's fine. The campfire was not stated in the rules that you can't use a basic campfire So I don't think I don't think it made too big of a difference However, you're out there you were fishing for some fish and uh, now it looks You're fishing for compliments too. How does that feel? Uh, pretty good because I said I I want to get 300 before the beta end, right? So I'm at 278 and I actually got one level. I think I want some pockets in the chat boys I was at 279 we're now 280 I was up not just starting because he was running around I was he was running around So I just said I'm gonna go on sale so he can open right Right, right indubitably indubitably so I feel you you you were out There were there were some issues. There was some uh, there was some controversy trying to figure out what the with the proper Uh What the proper verdict should have been and now here we are so you you have a chance of redemption here How does it feel? Yeah, cool, man. I feel super cool. Thank you for uh making me another chance, of course in the loser brackets Of course Thank you for joining us pale I love you as man. I love you too. I'll talk to you soon as man. Go on a big fan of course pockets in the chat Hey, thanks. Yeah, thanks pale Yo, uh, you'll wait a second all along. I have because I would like to take a little nap, of course Yeah, go ahead If you can't take a nap Because I played a game for like I tell 3m this morning So he said I love he said I love that's fine. He said as we go. I'm a huge fan. Uh, I'll see you later pale Thanks. Yo, thank you guys great tournament. I love you and thanks for the invitation one more time, of course If you yeah, you can't just uh, just don't oversleep No, I won't I won't trust. Thank you very much. I appreciate that guys I love you. Love you pale I love you Okay, let's go There it is and then immediately sony charges in goes into berserker stance Uh, venruki roots him moves away and then sony's throwing a grenade Is it gonna hit venruki? That is not good for for sony at all venruki immediately slows sony with rank one frost bolt sony can There we go. He's using uh will the forsaken to gather an intimidating shout Sony is already at half health with that critical strike a cone of cold plus the fire blast He's just being kited around not really a whole lot. He can do sony is pretty much living the life of a warrior. This is You can even see it on sony's face. It's just like yeah Like this is something that you know that you can get into when you're playing in this matchup It's a hard one to win sony definitely playing it. Well, but it's gonna be match point for venruki hands up boys That's the first time said that uh, and ultimately venruki's gonna try to save the same thing going up against his friend sony Yeah, they went ahead and started I know so basically what you're seeing here. Wow Sony getting a big crit too big taking venruki all the way down to 40 percent health This is actually really good for uh for venruki sony. Oh my god venruki's only at 20 percent 20 percent and he gets the shit So so I can actually read lips sony said. Oh my goodness frick How the heck did he get out of this situation and get me in the sheet? That was what he said no curse words because sony is an absolute class act You can also watch his stream right now. Hey, yeah, he's probably gonna be streaming battlegrounds or something after this Because it looks like venruki even after that insurmountable amount of damage He's able to get a full reset with that sheep and now look who's on the back foot Yeah, well, he got a rude on uh on sony and that's really not going to help him either. Okay. Here's the big one He's dropping the bomb Boom 300 damage, but the stun didn't go through and then sony goes says and charges over This is actually not that good for venruki. I'm actually surprised that it's gotten this close sony roots him right there. Sorry. Uh, yeah venruki roots sony right there and Dude sony's actually So good though. I mean like you look at that match up like everybody knew that was gonna happen We're getting into the very late stages of the tournament. Here we go See you focusing up immediately combat starts hits him with an earth shock immediately Start hitting him trying to stop that polymorph. He stunned him with the uh, the uh, was at the bomb right there And then all seeing I oh he got the polymorph out even though he hit him with the earth shock That spell batching right there boys all seeing I going into position. Situ is not in a good place right now All seeing I is doing exactly what zika was trying to do as well getting in position and starting to kite right here It's gonna be very hard for cedar to be able to reset and get back into the same position He was at the beginning. So here we go Situ is trying to go after him all seeing I it's just pumping frost bolts into him doing a ton of damage And cedu isn't really taking that much damage at all and he's moving in here And he's doing already a lot of damage hit him with a crit almost 400 damage with a cone of cold That's a lot right there. We've got obviously totems going down grounding totem going down rooting cedu moving away again He's obviously trying to out range those totems. So he doesn't even have to worry about wasting his time with them He blocked the chain lightning. Yeah, the chain lightning is really where chuck's going to do most of his damage And on top of that we're going to have another reset with a poly these polys are devastating Cedar wasn't able to get the damage out because of the block now He's going to need to look for another chain lightning and we know that all seeing I is probably already snapped That was an evil right there. He just uses evo cake right there So he can't use that again basically for probably the entire rest of this duration of the duels So then he's probably going to go for another polymorph as well now all seeing I almost has full health And he almost has full mana cedu is in half mana I don't know if that's going to be enough for all seeing I to build secure victory here, but we'll find out The the question is whether or not Oh he gripped into him with the oh my god with the net omatic and then he blinked away Okay, all seeing I is Definitely in a bad position here as you guys can see he just jumped away right there and cedar going back over to him right now Here we go. Let's see it and the the other thing to note is if we actually see a chain lightning getting off Let's say that we do see another ice black stolen away here a sheep in the middle of the go Is where we can see the all seeing I potentially win. This could be the go where chuck closes it out Okay, here we go. Let's see and then hitting him with the lightning bolt already Let's see healing with lesser healing wave all seeing I almost no mana. Let's see. Oh, he just used his mana gem right there He's about 40 percent mana cedu is trying to just heal himself up doing whatever he can And then right now cedu was able to pretty much full heal right there with the uh Um, well also another thing that we do need to know He was able to get off a sheep here in the middle of the go and then he was able to stop the totem He threw out just a frost bolt rank one get rid of that grounding totem. That means that probably could come out again This go has to be it right there if chuck can't win in this go all of a sudden you really have to favor all seeing I because he has all the reset potential looking for some lightning bolts looking for a chain lightning But the gap has been secured 30 seconds 30 seconds on that route All seeing I is going to be able to almost for sure be able to fully reset this cedu might actually need to go over there on His mount at this point. So all seeing I sitting down. He's drinking now again. He has already used his uh, what he called He's already used his evocation Everything else is pretty much all up. So they're pretty much going for a full reset now all seeing I at about half Maybe probably going to get the full mana and cedu At about the exact same place Well, you have to also look at all seeing I and just talk about how ridiculously well this guy is playing because he's also Alliance you expect him to not have as many duels against shaman He knows exactly how to play this match up better than some of the horde that we've even seen thus far And he's been able to really push chuck into bad situation. Oh, yeah Now he he's also been dealing fantastically well with the groundings and getting sheets not grounded Yeah, he's getting max range again Now obviously he's going to try and polymorph him again Just to get a full reset and be able to just completely go in on now He's going to start channeling frost bolts now all seeing I doesn't have that much mana That's something i'm really kind of worried about is he going to run out of mana? So obviously cedar dropped a grounding to him was able to help him get a little bit closer Cedu casting lightning bolts already on all seeing I this is not good a 500 crit without lightning bolt and an earth shot crit on top of that Dropping a grenade hitting all seeing I with the grenade all seeing I at 12 health and that is it Cedu finishes it off the first match winning that was Out of nowhere. All right guys. We have seen cedar managed to pull out the first victory in this series It looked like he had fallen behind so many times again. Look for just an completely explosive opener Okay, there we go obviously already and he's probably gonna use chain lightning right there doing as much damage as possible All seeing I is trying to do as much as he can fake there We go 300 damage on that chain lightning already dealing damage to all seeing I trying to get him with that bomb right there All the way at max range. I'm not sure if that's going to happen It did but it didn't really matter because the polymorph came out at the same time Really not a very good position and not good timing for cedu And so obviously he's going to be down with that bomb And all seeing I is going to move all the way back to evoke hate again And hopefully reset this duel in his favor one thing that we did hear early on from chuck when he actually had his interview He talks about those early polys being something that he wants to get rid of He has a really good opener that time around. He actually is able to get a fake off Then at right after that fake he has down his grounding totem. So we see him have a strong opener But still unlike what we saw in the previous matchup We see all seeing I being able to create space and get a polymorph still They basically did an agreement of a uh of a full reset right there So uh cedu using a rank one lightning bolt to I just keep uh all seeing I in combat And now he's just doing damage to him right there another uh full full duration polymorph All seeing I doing that immediately killing the grounding totem. Probably going to go in here for maybe a frost of it Oh, no, let's see. It's another polymorph. Okay. It's a 10 second polymorph All seeing I seeing what's going to happen and then another polymorph on top of that just hitting him right there fighting in combat All seeing I getting extremely aggressive right here. This is what we saw originally with this guy And let's see if that confidence is going to pay off All right, here we go. We already saw how explosive the shot of damage can be And he closes a little bit of space cdu though for a second has to back off the aggression looking for some healing But the chain lightning this way What What all right is all seeing I going to make a reverse sweep or not? Let's find out all cdu has to do is win one of the next three games And then he moves on to the semi finals He goes to play against venruki a friend a teammate and the person that he actually played and sent him to third place in the last tournament We know that the big respect needs to come around these chain lightning So expect cdu to actually try to bait out a kick here expect him to try to fake and also He wants to try to get that ice block nice and early all that grenade that grenade But the winding boat right there trying to line aside the lightning bolt I'm not sure if that really was going to work all seeing I already had half health and then casting another lightning bolt Just doing as much damage as possible a 500 crit all seeing I is going to have to reset right now He has to reset right now and this is going to be a full polymorph So it will be absolutely completely possible You see there chuck says a g don't hockey sticks man because if he doesn't end up in the sheep It's completely over and he tried to actually Get away from that situation of the sheep the sheep is pretty much the bane of thrall's existence here And then we see another polymorph leading up all seeing I still not really that much mana But again, he does have evo kate back up again all seeing I starting this fight out with a minus about 500 health That's obviously not going to be helping him a whole lot, but he's pretty confident going back into it So here we go doing two rank one frost bolts and then cdu starts casting chain lightning again interrupts them gives them a Counter spell cdu's moving away. So obviously he has to move forward grounding tonam is out He's killing grounding tone immediately cdu's using uh first aid and then back to casting lightning bolts He's trying to out range the lightning bolts, which is a good idea But it still did get the first one off all seeing I already have health and the chain lightning goes off and the Bob goes off and the polymorph goes off. This seems like deja vu to me Let's see what's going to happen all seeing I goes to immediately kill the grounding term He's going to sit down and probably drink now. He is going to be a little bit low on mana on this So we're going to see what's going to happen now. He's already got five seconds left There's no way all seeing I is going to be able to fully regen his health here. That's the big problem here He's going back in the combat. He's going back in the combat here. Okay. Here we go There's only a few hits the cdu even needs to make here. This is not good and that is over It is a 3o sweep from cdu going into these semi finals He was getting ready for this next one hot form representing canada We have a bunch of canadians in this tournament right now They some of them been okay already opening up already starting off hot form immediately gets on him Ziko roots him hot form trinkets out of the root and then stuns ziko with a kidney shot Let's see how this is going to go ziko is just taking damage right now hot form isn't really taking anything Okay, ziko immediately tried to go for the the polymorph. We got it blinded and then immediately blocked out of the blind Okay, here we go and they's moving away hot form immediately tries to go for the the first aid It gets denied by a cone of cold He goes for the vanish hits him with the cheap shot immediately blinks the cheap shot And here we go again to rank one frostball. I'm pretty sure on him just to keep him in combat and keep him in control This is really really good for ziko right here. This is incredibly good for ziko He's going to be able to completely reset this match. This is amazing for him right now Yeah, if finally he gets that opportunity to take a little bit of a breath here because hot form he came out Completely hot. He's not even he's not even going for he's just going for the kill Like ziko is actually just going for the kill like hot form is just taking damage hot form Well, look, I mean like Wait No way No, no No, no way, dude No way, dude. Is this really gonna happen? Okay So, uh, let's see So he's uh, he's actually sitting down and eating In shadow melt form. This is going to be a complete reset ziko was literally like what was that three five ten health away That's what we call the power of the alliance. Oh my god, dude Look at that and hot form is still getting kited ziko is Determined to make sure that was not just a fluke and he actually does deserve this win Finishing off hot form. Let's see if it's gonna happen. He's got one percent health He goes for the he goes for the bandage and then he goes for another one and then he stuns him right there Ziko blocks out of it and then he finishes him off with the wand Yes, obviously, uh, mr. Form, uh, you did very well You you had one great chance to come back. Uh, how did you feel about your chances there whenever uh, one of you got to that point? I was pretty sure I was gonna lose to ziko. He's a really good mage And if anything mages are the hardest fight rogues, so I had a couple tricks on my sleeve But ultimately so did he and he came out of top Am I flying Right now. This is ridiculous. Yeah, I agree. Um, I don't know how I ended up up here But uh, I'm in the air right now. So I'm very excited to be here, man It's just this tournament has been so exciting to watch you hot form and so many of these Other competitors. They just feels like I'm on top of the world, man. I'm just I'm just flying high right now So just want to say great job competing today and uh, we'll see you next time Thank you. It was an honor. Thank you We're gonna see though, uh, what the move is for this rep is just immediately kiting backwards running it out Just basically making as much time as possible just damaging down ab surge very very slowly Hit some of the psychic scream runs with him That's pretty interesting and then immediately probably hitting him with a mind blast Maybe yep, there's a mind blast right there and just doing as much damage as possible to ab surge And then healing set is just trying to get as much much range as he possibly can This is not looking good already for ab surge ab surge. You guys see his mana Yeah, me either not looking good And then he's immediately having to judge him with wisdom to try to get any mana back possible This is really really bad for ab surge. This seems like it might just be over before it's even begun But paladin do have a lot of big CDs. So let's see what's gonna happen here. It's so hard for him to close I think that's what the big thing is, you know, you get the space with the mind control Look how look how the ret waddles. Look how it waddles and healing sets just standing back He's letting the rods go through the only time we saw him close Literally the only time that we saw a close. That's lay on hands. Okay. I mean you have to this is This is a single elimination. The thing is the only time we saw a close was off the back of a rep And you're not going to be able to consistently get that healing set can make space again if he needs to That being said healing set is uh, he's used up a lot of his mana Uh, so that that's definitely a big factor now, uh, obviously ab surge is going to be able to get back in range Before this dueling thing goes away two seconds left Always kind of annoying that happened healing set trinketing immediately out of that hammer of justice And basically just running away from ab surge slowly we got a blackout proc very very lucky for healing set Again ab surge with almost no mana whatsoever. He still does have bubble But even if he uses it, I don't really know if it's I don't know if it's going to make a bit of a difference Because he doesn't even have any mana to do anything with it. That was a good stunt out They came by healing set and you can see healing set now. He's gotten what he needed to get He got a lot of those big cooldowns and now the space game is going to be a little bit trickier The auto attacks aren't going to be juicy enough. He has a bubble He has I don't actually think he has will to work with anymore But uh, oh he does so he is in a fire. This healing set might have played a little bit too offensively here I think he can still win with a lot inner fire and bubble are going to do so much here And now he can just rely on all that that juicy spirit that he has And we're not going to see ab surge able to do too much damage through the defense that healing set already has And this is going to be the bubble right here probably Oh, there's a psychic scream and this has got to be a bubble where it's going to be gg This has got to be a bubble where it's going to be gg. There's bubble right there healing set, uh He's bubble harthing He's bubble harthing No That's how you play that Ab surge you can't bubble hearth until I think level 42 I can tell Okay, let's make it happen a little pale after a little nap Is he going to be energized enough to take down officer bean? Let's find out. Okay bean sitting there right there right on top of his flare Payo is going to maybe try the same strategy as he had before he throws up another uh another flare Payo has changed for every duel. He's actually worn something different for every duel Wow, that's more than I yeah, he's weird. He's changed more often than I do in an entire month. This is impressive I actually is that a headband? It is. He's been wearing a headband the whole time though. Is he wows ninja? What is this? Okay. All right, and he's a me. Oh, he's going for the pet kill He's going for the pet kill. This is very interesting and he blinded him there I don't know if this is going to be a good decision or not, but let's go ahead and find out He has to kill him pretty smart. He has to kill him. That is actually not good at all That is not good at all. Uh getting him there. I I think that that's actually a pretty solid play there Well, oh, he made it. He made it. Okay. Payo's got the battle chicken out Okay, he's getting him at the grenade. Payo's already at 50 percent. This is not looking good for bean already He trapped payo and then he's killing the battle chicken He has to if you don't choke the chicken you get choked by the chicken I can hear you say it time and time again and now though payo actually had a really smart play It was a really good use of that stun It allowed him to basically have a full opener without having the opener And now he can actually close the space onto bean bean needs to be a kiting andy Right there. I mean, honestly, if that if that dot had just ticked in a different way That probably would have been really good for payo, but obviously it didn't he's moving away here Obviously surfacing is falling away. He's getting as much health as possible with his bandages And let's see if he's going to be able to get back in stealth. He was not able to get back in stealth He's trying to just run out and reset. This is not looking good for payo at all He's going right to the edge bean is just hunting him down with hunters mark payo throws the grenade Is it going to hit bean it missed? This is not good for payo 80 health one health. It is over for little payo All right, bean versus black lizard. Oh, here we go. Let's start it off So immediately he opens up with a scatter shot starts hitting him immediately starts fibers singing him Oh, wow He feigned desk to stop that cast a black lizard immediately blocks and removes that and then of course we do have another Polymorph right here dropping the big one Obviously black oz are doing a ton of damage playing super offensively trying to play inside bean's dead zone Bean is already at half health black oz are still sitting there at 75 maybe even more Not only is he killing bean, but he's also killing orio bean's pet as an immediately black lizard He blocked out of the trap dude double ice black a whammy. He's able to take this one down Shit it's confirmed lizards really do run the world black lizard You're gonna be able to take down this best of one and move forward in the tournament. Nice job Okay, here we go. All right. There we go immediately hitting him with a frost trap Freezing healing stat getting a max range Charging up an aim shot and then probably just trying to run as far away as possible to outrange the uh, I'm assuming Probably the uh the shadow word pain just to make that a little bit more of time Healing set is already down almost half health and half mana. Look at zero. It's mana though as well Oh my god, like zero has just he's he's getting fried here at this point Healing stat also doesn't have any health at this point. Zero is trying to take down healing stat. What is this? I think this might oh and a trap Well zero does actually I I believe that he's probably just trying to make sure that he just secures this win 100 percent So healing said did have enough mana obviously for a shield and that could have actually been really bad for uh for zero He's running away there. I don't know if that trap was right player or not But we're going to find out healing set chasing down zeroed zeroed running away with the aspect of the cheetah Obviously a little bit able to able to move a little bit faster But healing set this is a pretty quick reversal and it looks like healing says probably going to win this Unless zero does a very very good job with this Obviously trap is going out trap did not hit or maybe trap didn't even happen zeroed with the stun That's it's over I think he stuck his own leg in that trap the trap was a trap healing stat Going to be able to take this one down you can see him getting excited Yeah, pretty much every single person in chat was saying the hunter's got this the hunter's got this is why I was saying I thought he had to kill that trap like until that trap. I thought that he absolutely had it Sometimes the trap is a trap. There it is. There it is. That's a trap catch your own leg in it And just like that we are going to see zero He's definitely impress us But it is going to be none other than healing stat moving on forward to play against the all-seeing eye This is going to be a match This one this is going to be a match this one Children will be bored during this match this match is going to take so long This is going to take a while Okay, um, do we want to do um, let's do sony and ziko Can we do sony and ziko? Uh, yeah, I think sony and ziko would be good. Okay. Let's make this happen. Let's go People are naming their children after some of the competitors right now. I just saw on the channel I hope so What are you guys naming your children right now as we load this one up? We definitely want to see mlg score keeping. Hey, we're keeping we're keeping some of the best traditions in gaming alive Yeah, we're doing our best This is uh, I almost named my dog mcconnell like no joke. Uh, yeah, it was for content You know, I was going to tell a bunch of people I was finally going to show everyone what mcconnell looked like I was just going to pick up a dog Yeah, good. Just done that then just adam have another name. I mean dogs don't always speak english You call them over the fuck. They're just mcconnell But ultimately here we are in a situation where I I think we Are pretty impressed with all the competitors. Yep, but I got really distracted by thinking about mcconnell there for a second All right, black wizard versus sony digital. Let's make this happen. Here we go. Whenever they're ready. We'll start the duel. Let's go Getting this one underway sony digital already had to go up against a mage It didn't look very good sony played very well himself Oh, he's taking off some of that fabric that was holding him down There we go. Yeah, it's got you base enabled in your chat. I don't even know All right to me. I I don't I think that it is about to find out about okay Here we go. So sony's gonna be able to get the charge right there immediately goes into berserker sense Let's see trinkets right out of that to create that immediate pressure And then we see obviously ziko going for that polymorph. He's just sitting around waiting for that hits the iron grenade And it didn't hit sony, but the polymorph probably does and there we go. He did a little bit of damage to To ziko. I keep confusing myself with black lizard at the very beginning. I don't want to say black lizard too many times And uh, this is not looking good for sony. This is the traditional warrior. Um this is So basically what's gonna happen here see sony's gonna try to run over to him now eventually sony he puts on his sword and shield For really no reason because the magical damage is happening And uh, eventually he will be able to charge at which point uh ziko will immediately blink away And then there we go. Obviously got right out of woe of the forsaken Got out of that frost bulb again. So here's how sony can win Here's how sony can win if he times everything perfectly and ziko doesn't kill him right now And ziko decides he needs to go for a reset and we see sony have another mlg frag like a no scope Like a 420 noscope like the one that just happened to him But yeah, it looks like ziko is just going to have every advantage here Look at that offensive ice block just showing that he has the button Will sony be able to punish that flex or will he fall down and we are going to see the war chief get taken out by the lizard That's a tough match up for sony. I think sony has proven I think sony has proven that he is the best warrior in in this one I mean absolutely 100% like sony put on a great show. He did amazing He did better than I think everybody expected them to do So i'm very very impressed by that and now we're going to go to our final game in the loser's bracket until we go back up into the semifinals Well, no, we're gonna have ziko versus this one or two, right? Right? Yeah, exactly Yeah, so we have healing step versus the all seeing eye. Yep, and then you want to do ziko versus Yeah, I think we just set up. Okay. Let's do that and then we only have uh those final matchups Let's do that. I think that's all right. So now it's going to be the all seeing eye versus healing stack guys All right, let's make it happen We're really getting down to uh the line here. So I saw some people ask about a few of the matchups both of the warlocks I had to go back to the twisting nether for some reason. Yeah, they they they disappeared We lost them to the void and uh ultimately uh the warlocks. That's the way it goes sometimes, you know That's the way it goes shady characters those warlocks And ultimately that set up for zero to move forward and that set the stage here on this side of the bracket So it's nuts and stay safe. We'll we'll we'll see them later. Absolutely Okay, so whenever we're ready, we'll go ahead and we'll do healing stat versus all seeing eye I don't know how this one's going to go. I really I think it could go either way I haven't seen enough priests versus mage jewels like whenever you get into like the healer meta and everything That's whenever I really don't have any expertise as to like how I think that things are going to go I really Don't know. I mean healing stat one thing that he's proven here is that he's very very good at surviving and staying alive And especially he's very very strong against mana classes because he can mana burn them And he's been very efficient and very smart with the way that he's done that I think that your mic's getting a little bit too low there. Uh, definitely want to uh pump that up Pump it up. Oh, uh, how about now guys? We any better now? Uh got messed up a little bit. That should be a little bit better I think that was when uh surge failed to bubble heart. I think we we knocked down all and we also knocked down paladins a whole tier But yeah, we can see the chat ready to pump it up The question is who is going to be able to pump it up in this matchup These are two players that have completely over performed in their matchups. They're all seeing eye Somebody that a lot of you didn't know until today And uh, you know, you might have even just blinked when you saw his name not thought too much of it But ultimately now he has been able to get all the way. I thought he was a warlock I mean, I had no idea who this guy was right He comes in here and he's in, you know, like one of the finalist matches I mean, he's done amazing. He's not a warlock if you're a warlock fan at this point You're either pressing one to some of those warlocks back or you're pressing f to pay your respects Those guys are no longer with us. It all comes down to healing stat And the all seeing eye moving forward in this best of one But we talked about healing stat matchups as well. We just saw him against a hunter not even break a sweat He looked so fantastic zeroed gets caught in his own trap and allows healing stat to go against this new legend That's forming from the beta. Okay. Let's make this happen All right, um, how's our uh How's our what? Uh, people were saying f and chat. No, I that's I I said I had a oh really I had a I said I said, uh, because there are no warlocks left. I said you could either press one to some of them Okay, okay. Okay. I got it now. All right. Never mind. Okay. Let's make this happen Here we go all seeing eye versus healing style. Let's do it. I just drew my face Alrighty, did I get it? Yeah, pretty much It should be ready to go any second now. All right. Let's go It was all right Why not Oh, we'll let chat decide We're gonna let this matchup go through Who is going to be able to take it? Is it going to be the all seeing eye Or healing step. We'll see We'll see. We'll see. All right. I'm ready whenever Uh, are they are they uh, it looks like they're pretty much good to go. Uh, as soon as they're ready They'll go ahead and throw down the dual flag and we'll make this happen This is actually one of the matchups I've been looking forward to like all of adrian's matchups All the healing sets at matchups. I've been really excited to see just because there's so much different than a lot of the other things That we've been kind of uh used to expect. Okay. There's the dual flag. It's going down. Let's make this happen Let's see what's going to happen Here we go To again started here Once he clicks the button Yeah, anticipation building. All right. Let's go And here we go immediately buffs himself up, uh puts on the shield and uh, let's go a polymorph immediately goes out That's something that we could all pretty much expect was going to happen And then we have the frost bolts go out and now healing stat is just basically trying to keep himself alive here And then maybe doing uh, let's see what's going to happen here keeping the dots on him And moving towards all seeing I maybe for a fear I'm assuming this is probably a fear and then he blinks away from the fear obviously hits him with the mind blast And he blocks the mind blast Okay, I didn't expect that at all hits him with the iron grenade on top of that stuns him with the iron grenade Hits him with another frost bolt on top of fire blast healing set is almost dead already and he needs to keep himself up Here we go all seeing I might actually be about to win this and then he hits him with a 415 crit Uh-oh, this is not looking good for him. Dude all seeing I is a freak of nature. This guy is absolutely insane He just looked so good Keep in mind that it took cdou hitting him for like 600 back-to-back crits to be able to knock this guy down to the lower side of the bracket Now he is healing set with almost no mana. He just can't let him reset here healing set going to be trying to go for that Reset he's going in for the drink Where is all seeing I he's going to be able to get the poly deny the mana only one tick even goes off Healing set with 800 mana to work with it looks like he is going to be sent out of this Looking good for healing stat at all. Obviously both of them are basically drinking back up there I guess agreeing to reset which I don't know if that's a good decision for all seeing I because he's obviously used Both of his blocks. I'm pretty sure so basically he must be really confident being able to win this And he's keeping him cc'd with obviously rank one frost bolt running out obviously regioning mana slowly And by the time the healing step probably gets to him. He's going to be almost full health and full mana here So this is going to be basically a reset entirely And uh healing stat though at the same time isn't he's still at half mana Yeah, I don't know if this is going to happen. It's not it's not a full reset, right? Yeah, I ultimately I felt like kind of the same way that you you did Yeah, like why not just close the jaws of life? It seemed like we saw all seeing eye in such a dominating place But he's just flexing how much of a dominant place that is he gets a full tank of gas now. He's starting to 615 okay, uh, I don't know if healing stack and heal through this or not And he does resist the bomb that is very very good for healing stat Obviously doing the greater heals keeping his mana up as much as possible doing whenever he can I don't know if this is even going to be possible for healing stat. He is really really low But he does get that heal off. He still has 500 mana left All seeing eye is getting pretty well on mana too This could be what's happened with almost one of these other games where healing said it looks like he's out And then he comes right back and he keeps all seeing eye in combat again And then basically, uh, let's see we got another rank one frost bolt and all seeing eyes got maybe a little bit less than A thousand mana here that healing stats got probably a little bit less than 500. That's not good at all Okay, let's see what this is going to be And so all seeing eye right now I think it's just really waiting for that perfect opportunity to be able to close this out completely As you guys can see already that he does have the potential to if all the stars align Completely in healing stat entirely and I think he's just waiting for that to happen I'm still surprised about the reset, right? I think that the reset is a relatively surprising thing But all seeing eye really seems to know these mashups just so well Yeah, he does like I've been so impressed by him and once again, we're gonna see him right there I mean that damage is like three or four crits right there in row even with the uh frost nova crit at the same time He's down to five health and then he finishes it off all seeing eye wins with a 400 and I believe 46 crits All right, let's okay. It's already in all right. We're right starting off polymorph going out cdu obviously was able to uh Just knock him to the shadow realm absolute darkness and now we are going to see that shaman bringing the fire back to the sun We are allowed to witness the greatness of cdu yet again poly going to be getting off Not even blinking in the face of that overwhelming light Then rookie is going to be able to get not only the blink but the sheep and this gives him a huge He's dropping the big one. He's dropping the big one. We saw this at the beginning. Let's see what he's gonna do Obviously root cdu there. He got very lucky He goes for the melee on the grounding totem cdu responding by using chain lightning trying to break through that shield Then rookie's still at 100% staying at max range so he can out range the totem right there Keeping cdu kited trying to get those chain lightnings interrupting that trying to kill the grounding totem trying to first aid He actually did pretty much heal all the way up to full health Pretty much negating any sort of advantage cdu would have had or sorry been rookie would have had after that entire go Then rookie at half mana. This is not looking good for rookie already Okay, let's see how this is gonna go and I also do want to bring up the fact Then rookie's been able to play cdu a lot closer than the other mages have but one of the Very cool dynamics about the way that we see Cdu needing to play even though he is playing elemental shaman He still wants to be as close to ven as possible because ven has so many spacing tools And now he also does have some grips into cdu cdu's going to use that cover of the grounding totem What was that? What was that? Oh my god Three four that was insane Oh, and he hits him with the grenade from that far away. Oh my that was that It could've been rookieed. What was that one percent health basically that's ridiculous Okay, he's chasing down ben rookie ben rookie is just trying to make range. Obviously went right there Oh, he went for the charge as well with the uh the the net toy and then he goes for another chain lightning And maybe a lightning bolt, but he wasn't really quite able to do that healing himself up Ben rookie is trying to get mana trying to recover trying to reset as much as absolutely possible And this is also why you see cdu trying to play so close to ben because he has it's easier for cdu to get soft resets It's easier for him to get these heels off if he's on top of then right now He can actually just impregnate him with that chain lightning We've already seen just how potent that is in this tournament ven now going to be getting that drink They're both just full resetting. They're getting full mana full health This is for all intents and purposes a complete new duel Okay, well not a complete new duel Because I they didn't have to use walk, right exactly been rookie had to use walk So we'll see you also use elemental overall as far as I know, right? That's the guarantee crypt thing So I yeah, I think that when you when you look at the power of the ice block and pre ice blocking those chain lightnings You do now put Then rookie in a situation there where he hasn't used the second one yet, but it's getting a little bit hairy Yeah, this is not looking good. And also like again, we're not really waiting a lot of time between these two duels So if you use one at this point, it might not even be up for the second duel Okay, here we go There we go. Ven rookie's going for another. Uh, he's trying to get more mana and cdu is just trying to run him down Right here. Cdu is trying to write all with a 635 critical strike chain lightning hitting him with the absorb there Renuki is just running all the way over again trying to kite cdu out as much as possible And he's gonna probably get right on the edge of that dueling area. He's got five seconds to go back in I don't know if he's gonna be able to get in let's find out two seconds once all just barely and Ven rookie is just kiting cdu back and forth and also grounding does go down there I think then does pick it off nice and quick, but he might not have time to reset We might actually see cdu able to close this in time. He's going on there on his mount. He's ready. He is out for blood Okay, here we go war chief riding in on his wool looking for the chain lightning and there we go 617 getting finished with the shack lightning bull comes through Is this going to be a ven rookie at 19 percent health cdu just needs one big attack, but cdu is also sheep This is not looking good for ven for ven rookie, but also cdu It looks like ven rookie's being able to reset this regularly. I can I mean he's resetting this very very regularly He's just waiting for that opportunity I think this is going to be just the same as our first match that we saw at the beginning Ven rookie waiting for that opportunity for somebody to make a mistake Make mistake and for him to have the possibility to just kill him. You can feel this tink through the screen It's only going to be 491 this time, but it is going to be enough Okay, let's see what we can do Okay, obviously hit him with a bomb ven rookie makes make sure he kills the grounding totem Cdu is basically just sitting right on top of him. I don't know how this is going to go Cdu is just casting again doing so much damage like these shamans are so durable Like that's what I haven't really noticed. It's just how oh man any block he blocked the chain lightning. There it is Beautiful. There it is hit them pretty much every time. Yeah, and you know, we really did start to see that coming out with the all-seeing eye There's the grounding totem. This is going to buy cdu some time to get aggressive here comes the chain lightning You play a polymorph. We are going to see not even bashing there a polymorph going to keep ven rookie alive He needs to get some mana here. He channels a bandage to keep himself healthy He's already over 91 Okay, all right. He's now and you might even see it later on in the tournament He's going to go for another poly cdu not even going to be allowed to play his character Cdu is pretty well on mana too. Uh ven rookie could maybe commit to this if he gets lucky Cdu loves to chill in ghost will form This is not the animal that he likes to sit in at all tries to get close He's going to get hit with that. No, but then rookie going to trade out a cone That frostbite was really really lucky ven rookie kills that grounding totem He's keeping range is staying away from cdu making sure he doesn't get hit by those melee attacks And oof cdu almost got over to him ven rookie's just sitting there waiting for a while He hit him with a bomb was that the big one right there and there was a resist off that Oh man, cdu was that wait cdu is cdu about to lose Is he not about to lose? Oh my god, and then he misses the bomb. He misses the bomb. He got the grenade Wait, did he right? No, he didn't get the grenade Cdu was so that's what you like to call a triple win theory proc At the last second. Yeah, show us the log. We want to see the log. Let's see it Okay, here we go Look at that right there. See that's right. Just said man the triple win theory, right? I mean that was just Oh man, all right. Let's do it. Wait. Oh, they're fighting now. They're fighting now. Okay. Let's go All right, so this is basically just the very beginning of the duel We're seeing this happen exactly the same as it happened before Obviously, venruki is killing the syringe totem getting max range. Cdu has already sheath venruki We've seen this happen before and he's sitting down there I think that he's putting slow fall on to maybe make sure that doesn't get his other major important debuffs purged off Very good smart as well dropping the big one on cdu keeping them rooted in place Killing the grounding totem right there another syringe totem venruki is moving away from the syringe totem So he doesn't have to worry about killing it cdu starts casting lightning bolt and then another iron grenade Is venruki gonna be able to get away from it. He resists the iron grenade Cdu is already healing up at first aid and then oh man He resisted that and he kept the cast up that is very very lucky for cdu right there And then lightning bolts are going off on venruki venruki's going off right over to the edge there This is not good. Now when you see he still has the protection of that grounding totem We expect a chain lightning is the block going to come out. We see a big fat absorb well played there by Then we absorb i'm i'm amazed that wasn't more damage. Okay. There's another chain lightning on top of that hitting him with a 498 with all k the other one was resisted that is not good bad rng for cdu But sometimes that's the way it goes then ruki obviously, uh, you know, it's just eating back up And in otherwise rng free games sometimes you win sometimes you lose that's right I mean hey you won the last duel because of rng and sometimes you lose because of rng It doesn't even look like he's necessarily going to lose when you look when he is safely inside of that polymorph Resets don't necessarily guarantee venruki wins over time like they do in other matchups the second that chuck gets out of this Once again, he is a threat. He is going to have this Grounding totem here. He gets nice and close as well. Oh man. Okay. That was with the neto mattox Cdu is obviously rooted there in place trying to hit him with the chain lightning and he gets him with it And the bomb on top of that now venruki is still going to be able to get away because that neto mattox lasts for a very Very long time venruki is just trying to make some distance and he's going to sit down Eat and drink and this is going to be once again another reset So again if cdu wins this match he goes on to the grand finals There we go getting into his wolf going to try to close that space just a little bit We've seen him use this mount before then once to have as much space as possible Now he's going to have a nice frost bolt to slow up cdu even more cdu drops the grounding already going to be out Of the equation as he tries to get some of these lightning bolts onto ven It's going to be another poly you can see Check just goes okay. I'm taking my hand off the keyboard ven's going to do what he's going to do Yep, that's the way it goes. I mean honestly cdu's a pretty much full mana ven's going to do whatever it doesn't matter Honestly, it nothing has really changed here. There have been no real major cooldowns exchange I don't think we've seen a block. He didn't even need to pre-block yet Yeah, we haven't even need to see a block. The only thing maybe is elemental overload everything else besides that It's just pretty much standard rotational abilities So this might take a little bit longer and that's just fine But the thing is cdu is going to be able to get mana a lot faster than the rookie is and so I might give Cdu a little bit of an advantage here. Yeah, and this is this is the way that ven rookie can win I see people in chat right now Everybody's like kind of asking why he is playing so defensively He needs to respect everything that he's getting thrown at him these chain lightnings are so massive Once again, chuck going to try to close that space coming out swinging Then still going to be slow with this by time he's going to try to get a poly here and he gets off Yeah, that is just that is the worst timing you can possibly have and like that's just the way that it goes Even without spell batching it would have happened then was Waiting yeah, that was why the timing was the way that was he basically says okay. You have the stun That's a go for you. I'm going to trade right keep the poly mitigate that go that you're gonna have and now he creates one Here we go. Here's the big one. Let's see it I think immediately hits him with a frostbolt google back over to cdu google How hard is victory hit immediately hitting him with oh, wow The cone of cold immediately stopped that cast as well cdu is getting very very low in health D and rookie is being very low on mana too and cdu is getting very low if ven rookie gets this cast off This could be bad for cdu. Let's see what's gonna happen grounding totem is up ven rookie is at full health And so is cdu. It seems like this has been basically not a wow That's a win fury right there. Holy shit. There's a chain like Oh my god, it goes through the block ven has to get out of the block all chuck needs to do here is connect There's a lightning bolt. That's a level one lightning bolt. He's got what 17 health dude 17 He's stuck in the poly he can't get over there dude He's stuck raising as a farm animal ven rookie is gonna get away to reset cdu doesn't even have that much mana to work with After that it still is one of those things that you expect to be in inevitable The chain lightning gets through which you don't expect when in ven rookie's arsenal He has the ice block. I know that we can make memes about dale goes ven rookie, but not here not on this stage He's not going to miss the opportunity to stay safe in the shelter of that immunity now chuck trying to close once again Is he going to have that grounding totem to open up the way to get a go on ven rookie? Looks like he is obviously ven rookie is just trying to navigate around that tree avoiding that searing totem And then basically just trying to keep max range on cdu sheeps him again I think at this point ven rookie is just looking for an opportunity to fully reset the fight again The same way that he was able to before now the problem with that I don't know man like whenever you keep trying to go for these full resets It seems like one of these opportunities cdu is going to get a lucky crit and then he's going to be over I don't know if this is really the play or not, but also who who who has had Reasonable goes against cdu has made so far. It's only been ven rookie And it's because he's also finding goes When chuck is off of his flow like there's an ebb and flow to every matchup And in this one if he's able to get rid of few a few of the trades that chuck is making frequently with the grounding totem Then can rely on the big goes and even the big one to make an opportunity for himself That could actually be a victory now once again ven isn't going to have full mana, but he has enough to actually get through the He's down a good 30% or so and cdu is full health full mana ven rookie's already used one block Now the thing is i'm pretty sure ven probably has evocation up by now, which is a big positive for him Uh, so let's see how this is going to go Okay, immediately ven rookie is getting uh, oh, he's using everything right there. Oh, he's just I mean, he should uh, yeah, that's just mark like what are you are you going to beat chain lightning with your wand? Like no, no, no, I I'm pretty sure after about two hours of watching these matches. I would say no I think that's one thing that we definitely learned But I think he's really just waiting for an opportunity to be able to just basically get lucky and kill cdu in this Well, and it could absolutely happen here 561 right there casting healing wave He rooted him in place. That means there's a higher crit chance. This could be it right here This could be massive damage. Let's see. Oh, I didn't crit. That's not good at all Cdu just keeps healing himself as much as possible another grounding totem is down That is not good for ven rookie ven rookie still have 20% more mana cdu drops a searing totem ven rookie trying to Outrange it cdu dropping the whitening bolts. I don't know if ven rookie's gonna I don't even think cdu's gonna have enough mana to even kill ven rookie He's gonna have to rely on uh on win fury proxier. Let's see what's gonna happen Then actually turn this into a war of attrition. It all of a sudden There it is right there. See that's what I was saying. There's the win fury right there There's the bomb and there's the end of the match cdu moves on to the grand finals So cdu good talking to you again. Uh, I mean obviously everybody knows Your story you and ven rookie grew up childhood best friends separated you move to a new school And you guys didn't know about each other You guys didn't know what was going on in your lives for over 20 years and then turns out you guys both become world of warcraft professionals and are reunited through the game through method Ven rookie takes the win from you In the horde tournament a few weeks ago and now you're back. You're getting your revenge. How does it feel? I mean It feels good Like I don't I don't have an a personal vendetta against van But you know when I lost that duel to a mage in the 30 duel tournament I obviously kind of went back to the drawing board and said if I can't beat mages I'm not going to win these tournaments. So That's when I just said I got I got to do elemental Why why do I want to chase a mage when I get to shoot him for you know thousands of damage 40 yards away? It just makes more sense Very good. Very good. I think I think that strategy you essentially playing anti meta at level 40 Was a really good way of looking at this tournament Thank you Why does he laugh after every interview like what is the picture goes the oils enjoy cdu? Yeah, enjoy that Thank you, bro. Thank you. All right. We'll see you later It's getting kind of hot in here. Okay. Here we go dual starting. Let's make this happen. Here we go All seeing eye versus black lizard. Let's go. They both immediately open up. Look at this. They're trading They immediately open up with rank one frost bolts. He stops the the cast right there with a a bomb right there Ziko blinks right on top of him hits him with a grenade and this is going right down to it All seeing eye looks like he's already under half health. This is not looking good for him at all black lizard He's just arcane explosioning him to death. I don't know how this is going to go He's going to maybe go for the polymorph. He gets the polymorph off. That is very very good for black Oh, though. He just trinkets right out of it. All seeing eye has 400 health left I don't know if this is going to be enough for him to come through and all seeing eye is doing his best He goes for a higher rank frost bolt, but it's not really going to make a difference Black lizard is losing more health faster than all seeing eye is all seeing eye at 200 health 80 health 80 health and that is it black lizard finishes it off Taking all seeing eye out of the match And now we go on we'll tell you in one second. Uh, this is going to be a $3,000 tournament We'll talk about what that split is But you got to watch this match up first all the attention is going to be here as we see veneruki Get a solid opening here on to black lizard big wow taking him all the way down though 25 30 percent health almost zero percent of veneruki almost hundred owing him and black lizard just barely gets Oh my god. He trinkets out and black lizard blocks. Oh, this is insane. Okay. Here we go I don't know. I think this could be over already. Let's see what's going to happen veneruki just had such a strong opener This is insane. Block it. Block it. Yes. He walks it up. Oh my god And he goes for the next one. It is only three two seconds left This could be the fastest mage tool that we have ever seen. Here we go. It's out of mana Yeah, uh, let's see who's veneruki's out of mana. He's very low in mana here Oh, actually, sorry. I was looking at a little bit of a weird angle. He should have enough to take down ziko if he can close this space Right now it's going to happen here. Oh my god. This is really really close going for evocation. Okay evocation. I see that Interesting. Oh, he's going to poly that. Okay. Oh, that did not quite go off 20 health black lizard sitting there at 20 health Oh, he blocked that cast. They're just going all out right here veneruki immediately first dating This is not looking good for black lizard. This is looking very very very bad He's already used both of his blocks veneruki is just casting on him absorbing with the ice barrier He's already going into the dueling forfeit area. He's got to move back in iron grenade is going out He's going to try to get the polymorph out and the polymorph does go out. That's good Now this could be potentially an opportunity for ziko to completely reset this. Let's see what's going to be Another block. He cold snapped a block saying completely aggressive here, but another poly He's going to have to sit this one Okay, and then he's going to sit this one, but it's only half time So uh ziko is going to be able to get a little bit more mana and then oh he gets the frost Oh, there we go. He blinks right out of it. He goes to the third polymorph and it doesn't really quite go off And then oh, there we go. He's fakes that again. And then here we go. Oh man. I'm actually a Oh my god, ziko's got nothing left scorching to try to close this one. He's trying to use fire barrier Just to stay alive. He's using iron grenade. You know, hopefully stun veneruki. The stun goes off ziko has nothing He's got no health no mana no blocks and veneruki is just finishing him off with rank one frost bolts This is it. The big frost bolt is coming. The time is now and oh veneruki does get polymorph Ziko Ziko is staying alive He will not stop Okay, let's go There's reset potential here Yep, this could actually be reset potential and ziko is actually casting frost bolts on veneruki right now Okay, let's see what's gonna happen. Keep in mind ven has no defensive utility left because he used it to stay aggressive here Ziko doesn't get the full reset only 25 life. Now. He's gonna be completely out of mana And this should be veneruki's chance to close it. It's a wand battle. They're crossing one My no, dude No, and then he goes for the heal right there veneruki's at 20% the crit he goes the crit Oh Veneruki takes him down and he does it with sheer aggression and you gotta give it up to veneruki. What a duel And there I hey, hey, can you wait until after the interview? Jesus christ unbelievable It's disgusting. It's a christian unbelievable. It's a christian tournament I'm saving myself for marriage. Okay. Why are you such a chat elliot? Anyway, as we were saying veneruki a chance at redemption Yeah, a chance to take it all twice you won the horde doing to her Yeah, so I'm just taking over the interview. Oh, you're just excited Yeah, this is a remember what blotard did that to you? Yeah, this this is a grudge match Um, this is uh, yeah, there's a lot of bad blood between c2 and I like we're gonna throw it all in the arena And honestly, it's it's gonna go down dude. It's gonna go down. Well, like I was telling c2 Uh, we do know everybody knows your guys life story, you know how you guys were best friends You guys grew up together. You guys were in kindergarten first few years elementary school And then you guys separated you guys moved apart you guys went to different schools And you never heard from each other for 20 years Before you found out that you guys were both world of warcraft professionals So that sounds like the story to me. That sounds exactly what happened As far as I know that is 100 the truth that is definitely not a fabrication that I just made up 20 minutes ago So it's really awesome to see you guys come together And your worlds separate and then your worlds Collide one in warcraft pretty amazing. Yeah I do want to say um, I do want to say I want to give a huge Shout out to ziko. I'm really happy that the duel went that way Obviously, I got the win but it could have gone either way and I think despite him having like Despite him having like a really bad start It shows like how fucking insane he was because I don't think there's another mage That could have forced me to use literally every cool then and almost win from the start. He had so Honestly just hats off to him my fellow baker and also Yeah, I'm ready for cd. It's gonna be difficult, but I think uh, I think we could possibly maybe win if some stuff goes our way Yeah, I think uh, I think there's a lot of stuff going a lot of ways right now So, uh, I think it's time to end this interview and uh, we'll get back to it Ben rookie getting full mana here flag already down the second that they are ready They're going to accept and expect to see cd do what he does yet again He really wants to avoid that early polymorph that that's kind of the big thing If he can get the strong opener before the poly comes out. It's a really good looking for him Okay, immediately ben rookie opens up at the rank one for onspault cd moves in gets an earth shock on there Ben rookie roots him moves away gets obviously the grounding totem out kills the grounding totem immediately Then we have a polymorph going into there ben rookie is doing exactly what he wants to do right now He's already got cd do in the early polymorph He's sitting down to get full mana and make sure he's able to fully commit on actually winning this game And he goes ahead and repollows them and drops a big one on him This is going to be a lot of damage on cd do right here hitting him with a cone of cold on top of that Frost nova on top of that scorch on top of that cd was taking a lot of damage right now And then there's a grounding term going out immediately went out when it went down as soon as it fast It's been a long time. Let's go rich Hey, ultimately it's not easy to speak when you're getting lightning and frost chucked at your face Is both of these players in such a difficult situation But then rookie is going to be once again somebody that can see into the future He knows that cd is going for that chain lightning and he gets a beautiful pre block off Now he's going to catch him in the nova as well create a little bit of distance Which does favor ben rookie even though they are both range cd relies on being closed But that's going to be a chain lightning for 630 And a 515. Oh my god This could be it ben rookie is running away for life And then he finishes off the dual cd finishes it off with a triple crit a chain lightning crit A lightning bolt crit and an earth shock to finish off the first game in the grand series in favor of cd All right, the second duel is happening right now Dueling is going off and all right opening up again with the rank one frost ball doing exactly the same things They were doing before cd hitting him with the earth shot getting back in range ben rookie rooting him with frost nova Ben rookie and getting a higher range away and then it looks like he's probably gonna yep This is a big indication here. The first chain lightning is going to be a really big indication This is a very very good poly. This is a much better start for ben rookie The first chain lightning is going to be a very big indication for us If we don't see ben rookie in a place where he's just going to get a free absorbed and he doesn't block That means he's going for the extended play looking a few series into the future That poly actually gets grounded there. That is huge for cd. He tries to close the space Yeah, this is not looking good at all for ben rookie searing totem goes out Ben rookie automatically re-kills it the big one is coming out This is going to be a lot of damage on cd. He gets stunned. He immediately trinkets out of the stun Ben rookie gets lucky with a conical prop for frost bite keeping cd in place Ben rookie is trying to just make any range as possible slows him down with a frost shock hits him with an iron grenade The grenade hits he's hitting him with the chain lightning. There's the block right there We knew it was going to happen and then right after that that's already one block Use just that one ability that one chain lightning and then it still hits him from all the way across the map He has a first 615 You've got the little dragonling chasing him down keeping ben rookie in combat your rookie's going for the heal right now He's trying to get any sort of first aid as he can goes for a rank one frost ball It hits the go ahead. Oh, no, ultimately there. He goes for that other chain He's huge he's able to chunk him down yet again here comes the poly if he doesn't get this poly here He is in such a bad way and ultimately that's going to shock him to chain lightning That's a grounding right there on that poly. There's the other cast going off 500 515 He's got a frost shock. Sorry flame shock on him. Okay. This is really right down to the wire Okay, ben rookie's using his evocation. He's sitting down to drink He's already taking a lot of damage cd. He's going to be able to maybe get a little bit of a health A matter of I don't know if it's really going to be enough to make the difference that palette or that poly came in Just in the nick of time too if you don't get that poly there Ben goes down to just about anything cd could have sneezed on him on that point and it would have taken him down a peg Then finally does get that space. He goes to try to find better shorts grabs a drink But cd now going to go on the hunt and already ben rookie used that evocate as well That's going to be one of the biggest resetting tools that he actually does have and now cd actually says hey It's been a full reset anyway. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna let him yeah Let's let's just drinks all around not even a big deal this rounds on cd Okay, lightning bolt immediately going off rank one lightning bolt and uh, basically trading with a rank one frost bolt Earth shock right there cd moving in hit ben rookie gets rooted moves away and uh, let's see what's that Obviously grounding to them went out immediately cd gets cheaped again and ben rookie. I think at this point It's just waiting for that perfect opportunity. He's probably gonna sit down and drink I'm assuming and uh, then just do as much damage as he possibly can So ben rookie has actually been successfully able to almost full reset this minus his big cooldowns like evocate and also the uh Dyes one, you know, this is looking a lot more like we expected the games to play out Ben has done such a good job at getting these resets Cd you just like whipped Just a giant load of crit out and just slapped ben rookie across the face with it last time It was a crit on absolutely everything. You had a huge chain lightning for over 600 damage after that You had a huge lightning bolt which came in nice and fast cast for over 500 And then he finished off with an instant to just delete it. He got completely vended there But Fenn this time around he doesn't tilt. He plays it nice and calm He goes for these resets and now cd isn't in as comfortable of a place that we've seen in the rest of the tournament Uh, there's been a number of times where cd has actually been in kind of an awkward position here cd is kind of well mana ben rookie is also well mana and uh, ben rookie I think is basically just waiting for the opportunity to see someone see ben rookie make a mistake I mean that's really all it comes down to until we see that we're gonna see then rookie run And he's going to ultimately wait to pounce until he has one of these big goes We saw that actually with the big one before that He has to wait to actually trade nothing into like if you over commit and the grounding totem goes down You put yourself in such a bad situation. So Ellie it's gonna go in in public He's gonna try to get the grounding totem to go down and then when the grounding totem is going down You know that chuck is looking to trade into you and then you can kind of back way. This is a huge opener for him That's a 618 that is not good for ben rookie at all cd was just moving in with those lucky crits Ben rookie obviously goes right there He's probably gonna go for a polymorph right there. He moves out of it and that's gonna be a missed grenade That is not good and then another chain lightning ben rookie is on the edge He is about to die He's got 10 health and then cd roots him and he's gonna finish it off right there They are already back into the game. This is the final game right now hitting the grounding totem Cd trying to interrupt the polymorph trying to do whatever he can he gets the oh He did get that cast off at this point guys all the damage matters everything that you have matters If ben rookie actually gets a win here, this is going to be absolutely insane He has to use everything that he possibly has because if he doesn't that's it That's the end of the entire tournament over eight hours of gameplay chat This could be the last game that grounding is going to go down and I gotta ask you this lightning bolt comes out Where are you chat? Whoa That is a win fury into an earth shot crit that is not good at all for ben rookie Holy shit cd was just sitting here at 100 health, but it's okay ben rookie was able to recover with a polymorph That's very very good for him ben rookie moving back in hitting him with a cone of cold Cd trying to cast a chain lightning Oh, he blinked right through it to line of sight the cast that is really good Ben rookie is just playing like a god trying to avoid these cast But I don't know if that really was going to be worth it hits him with a double lightning But what the plus a uh, what was that an earth shock hits him with a grenade And then there you see the first block go out right there that block too It's not a trade into that chain lightning, right? Like this isn't even cd hasn't broken a sweat and he's right on top of them now Ben rookie's trying to create space. He doesn't have too many tools to do it chain lightning getting revved up He's going to move for it. He's just going to close it out That's it that's it What the fuck over cd dude cd claims The entire tournament with cd dude you don't oh my god Javits are insane With cd you don't you you just heard of rumicado What's up, yo Dude, how does it feel to take down ben third place in the last tournament this time you're gonna take first? Uh, it feels good, man. I think I think venza really phenomenal doler So obviously happy to beat him Definitely feels like ellie's got you know, maybe a little bit of an edge in that matchup So i'm pretty happy with my decision to go ellie. I think I think I would have got a obliterated his enhance Um, you know some people in this call actually thought I wouldn't make it past the first round Has been But uh, you know, it's all good. Did I yeah, you did See did you lose a single game? Uh No, you didn't lose a single duel My entire tournament The entire tournament he didn't lose at all Yeah, that's uh pretty good just real quick.
