 Dragon looked too prepared, his zoning was so good. Not just zoning though, he came in sometimes and he was ready on the mid-range and the anti-airs and the offense, it all looked great. Coming from the losing. It didn't just seem like it was a character issue is what I'm trying to say. It seemed like he was prepared for Sonic Fox the human. I think he's prepared for every single person here as Dragon and that is why he is poised to win this championship. But Sonic Fox needs to beat him twice in order to stop that. Yes, Sonic Fox has to win the first three out of five set and the second three out of five set, it's a tall order. But here we go, it's going to be grand finals of CEO 2019, Mortal Kombat 11. Guys, God, are you kidding me? Let's go! Sonic Fox indeed with first round KO Jackie. A monster up close and great ways to close it. Oh no! The duck, you see what I'm talking about? That's not a character thing right there. He's prepared for Sonic Fox. He got the best practice score in the previous round against Fox and Grandpa who's gonna leave out heavy on the offense here. Let's see if Sonic Fox can pass another one. Back to back coach on the throw attempt. And he is in the zone. Yeah, both players thinking, okay, I'm gonna do the same thing again. Punisher, ducks under me. The jacks punch right there. Here's Fox, a chance to pressure. She gets, oh no! And then nothing else from Dragon. Didn't believe in the punish right there of the stand one with recovery of it. Look at by the RKO, but that's the approach like we saw in the previous match with the 1-1-2. He is all over it, Dragon taking round number one. Just looking great out there. Look at this guy, draft in control, understands the mix-ups, got the space. Yes, again. There's some aggression at that hand. He's been dash punching. Look at what, we saw him get the whiff punishes with Cassie on that whiff wall as well. You know he's got it in him. And he's gonna need it here against Dragon. He's looking solid force. We escape here, he does. I love the turns that Dragon steals with that boulder. That's so impressive. Antire, there's no way to escape this time, so Dragon goes in for the big camo. No! I think Dragon, I think Dragon was such an anti-air combo. He knew that the gravity wasn't there, trying to keep it simple. Whoa, in the active frames, up the wall, beautiful whiff punish. Did you see the reaction on that? It's not easy to whiff punish a nine frame hit. His movement is just so incredible right now. It's again, every aspect of his game. Every decision when... He's calling things out a second before they happen. When it comes to low profile, when it comes to crouching, when it comes to punishing whiff, punishing reacting. He was actually too early on the anti-air for the one. He was too early, he was that prepared. Sonic Fox does that fatal blow, so any hit? Right now, and the plus you can't leave like... No, he could survive the chip. Not enough defensive bar out of last breath and Dragon 1-0, two games away from a championship here. Sonic Fox goes back to character select. What is he gonna do? All right. Back to Castle that we saw on winners, but it was the same story. It was the same story. I mean, very similar things happen. We'll see. If there's anybody who can overcome this kind of deficit, it's Sonic Fox. But I don't know if anybody can overcome this kind of deficit versus Dragon, the way he's playing. The way that he is playing so scary right now. Sonic Fox is gonna go back to what he believed in in the first place. It's gonna be Yas Queen where he's gonna have that shoulder tackle. He's gonna be able to take away some defensive tools. Back dashes instantly Dragon out of there. Oh, not active enough. Never thought I would ever say that about that wall. I know. I'm not active enough anti-air. He was too early. He was that prepared. He's too quick on these reads. Not gonna break away. Yeah, I really like the Dragon didn't bother right there. Just gonna save it for the next round. But Sonic Fox is coming to life here. He keeps it going. Great start here. That was the first neutral jump read. I think of the entire tournament for Dragon. So nice. Go up into the sky. Sort of threaten teleport to the other side. Okay, you saw that she jumped instead. There we go. Gonna get the pick up kill. You have to be so early to get that. He knows. Oh, it doesn't get great. Go off the shoulder now that I see it. Has to get back in. Rolling forward. You can't even convert off it because of how early you do that. It's the wind that ever fingers even. It's not even that close. If he did it later, he may be able to convert off it. Oh, my goodness. Oh, here we go. No, they're launched. Just walk up. He's ready. He definitely looks better. He's in striking range to take it. And now we got to see Dragon do something else. I don't know if we can just be zoning here. Cannot get hit. If any guys are worse. That's gonna be fun. Sonic Fox ties it up at one to one. Coming to life. Going back to the character that he got three old with. That's right. You talked about you can never count out Sonic Fox. No, if anybody can do it, it's him. He did look better. See if Dragon can make the change. I still like a lot of what Dragon's doing, by the way. Oh, man. But there were actually sometimes when he was too early. Multiple times, in fact. Yeah. Oh, my God. What a mix up right there of back dash or aggression. And that's what I see so differently in Dragon. Is he is not just sitting back. He's not. He's not trying to let him come in. He's trying to dictate here. And he is right now. That's for sure. Safe on this. Ooh. An active jump kick doing the work there for Sonic. Is he just holding up? Just like in there last. Yeah, exactly. Multiple times. And again, I hate to say David's a little too early on that stand too. Yeah, you're right. Oh, looking for the big green with the bow there. Nice in there himself out of Sonic Fox. Puts himself in the corner, just puts out the throw and the drop though. Delay. But Sonic Fox is ready for that. Here's Dragon. Got it. There's no break away. Jump kick fatal. Oh, he got it. This could be it. I don't know. It's quite a bit of scaling. A little deep in the combo. The beam is coming and not enough. Sonic Fox has the distance. And she chooses to get aggressive. Already? One last breath available. Neutral jump. Another one. As these players run out of their last breaths, I'm trying to catch mine over here. David's action has been sensational. Delay. But right into it still is Sonic Fox underneath that. Dragon tried to get something going. Good read on the wall right there. Do you feel him see the gunshot go through the wall? Get him to protect out. Hey man. Punish. A little overextension. I'm trying to control mid-screen now. Slowly getting that defensive bar back. Oh, here we go. What's the mix? He used it as well. Was that his first wake up? I think it actually is an all of top eight, yeah. 23 health. Fuck the chase down. The oppression out of Dragon. I mean, that's a win-win. Getting yourself in better position mid-screen. Look at this. Sonic Fox. Just trying to get individual hits there. He didn't need much. And he's threatening to go up to one. See what Dragon can say? She was just over that wall. I mean, that was close. Individual hits starting to add up. And that was like a neutral position that he forward dashed into was over the stand one. That's not aggression. Right over the wall just barely. Steeple chasing out here is Sonic Fox. Re-stood. Okay, he needs so much. This is a hard comeback here. Ten's not through a lot. He was just hoping that Dragon would respect the wall. He was one geyser away. Was Dragon there? Sonic Fox's first lead of the tournament. Two to one. Still needs to reset this thing though. Oh yeah, he's got a lot of work to do. Dragon now retreats into himself. Deep in thought. He three-ohed this guy an hour ago. Now what did that do to Sonic Fox? It gave him data. Well, you know, we often talk about that. Yeah, the person who loses a match tends to think about it more often than the person who wins a match. They're thinking about what they could have done better. And the person that wins is thinking ahead. Yeah, already beat that player. That's over. 3-0. But no, here for Sonic Fox, like he's found a couple here. Two games more than he got on the winner's side. We'll see what kind of adjustments Dragon tried to find in that deep thought on the ring. Here at CEO. Trying to get underneath. Another attempt of getting underneath. Have we seen less throw attempts out of Sonic Fox? He's just doing the one-once because Dragon was so crouched heavy because he just got burned I think three times for it. Sonic Fox chooses to get out. Ready on Anzire. Yeah, that was probably trying to duck. This is reset. Point. Sonic Fox woke up. He's sick and tired of getting second in this pro competition. He says, I'm the greatest of all time and I need to prove it here. Well, he's well on his way to that. Do some good damage here. For Dragon, is he gonna stay back or get aggressive? I mean, there's nothing that Cascade can do from it. At distance, we see him in matchups that they can't. Often go for that just for some shift damage. Fox's grab game or not has been really on firing on all cylinders. That was from a good distance right there too. He has actually kicked Dragon in the face as Dragon has tried to neutralize. And there are three throws in a row. This is what we're talking about. There we go. Ready for it. I'm onto you because how many times does Dragon wake up in the Winner Side match? Wow. That was a weird interruption right there. Buttons in between buttons. I was trying to take advantage of things. Here he is, flawless. Into the corner though. And now Dragon, he just kind of makes something happen. Oh, Sonic Fox just didn't expect it. Can he keep it up? No. Oh, so close with it with Stand 1. Oh, these individual hits are starting to mount. Got him! And that's the bracket here at CEO 2019. He murders the character. He's supposed to be playing against with the very next set. He was doing the fatal blow IRL with it. Did you see that? Just soaking it up in his throne right there. Look at the difference in posture in everything between those two. Sonic Fox with momentum. Starting to feel it there. Dragon sitting there in deep thought as to what he's going to change here after this reset. Are we going to see things get crazier? Are we going to see him get more laid back? Is he going to get more passive? Or more active? He's been pretty darn active for a set round player. A lot of the changes he needs are just the results of individual mixups. Whether you protect one throw or not, it's the granular stuff. But it seems to me like Sonic Fox is really controlling. And early in that last round, perhaps a little too heavy on the neutral crouch reads out of Dragon because Sonic Fox got really aggressive with the 1-1s. Maybe. I'm not sure it's like a strategic grand sort of strategy error. It's the individual mixups. Also the Sonic Fox's credit ended with three throws in a row. That's exactly what I mean. We can sit back here and say this, but it is a constant flow of mixups between these two players. Sonic Fox takes his advantage. He just wanted to tie things up and go, you know what, we both have the same health? Let's see who wins. Look at that. That's what I'm talking about. That right there is such an encapsulation of how this has gone. Dragon tries to jump out because he's expecting a throw. Two things that have worked before. And then Sonic Fox goes for the throw right after that. Two things that have worked before. Punished here. With tournament life on the line. Sonic Fox is officially winning this tournament up this round. Oh, shock that. That stand one didn't. Very active on that. Wow, reversing with throw off of hoax. Now he's got to chase down again, but it feels like that's pretty consistently doable for him. Oh! What a swing out of Sonic Fox. Up and down four, which has the waltz, but just like that, which just worked on him. But with a healthy, probably confident in these decisions. The pressure to Dragon, but it's just Sonic Fox in full control right now. A complete reversal of momentum that he has not let go of. That pedal has been to the metal all the way down ever since this grand final started. I'm picking back to that moment when Dragon got fifth the combo breaker. And he was upset that he got fifth the combo breaker until he realized all he needed to do was go home and think about it and practice. And practice. And he could beat all these guys. Dragon with some universal sage advice for everybody. If you get lost, you can still go home and practice. But you can't do that right now. You can't do that right now. You have to adapt right now. You have the next two games. What about your loss that you have to play again? It's right now that you have to do it. There's no going on first. Almost in the right position there. Okay, finally an entire wall working out for Dragon here. And we haven't just, we haven't seen that comfort out of Dragon. No, no, no. Yeah, not comfortable at all. You have to be able to zone easily here. That's something that such a really has to feel comfortable to do and wake up, I think the second one in all of Top 8. We see some great execution on Sonic Fox 2 off of these straight hits as well. Yes. Whether it's an air-to-air jump kick, the 4-4 in the corner, beautiful stuff. Interruption here. Will there be a break after this? No, I'm just going to take it. Oh, the standard! Sonic Fox taking the round off of it. What was it? It was down one and screwed it up, I don't know. Who knows right there? Hell's wrap. I'll be right there for him. Oh, here comes the shoulder. We haven't seen a single crushing blow off that either. It's going to be some damage here, and whatever Dragon wants, he wants space controller pressure. Space control, and a one-folder, two-folder, and that's it. Yeah, air-to-air. You can blame him. Very smart to go up the side switch here. You don't sacrifice a lot of damage. The only sacrifice is 30 damage for a side switch. Whoa! With Punish. Sonic Fox has so often been the case in this current fight. Meet him in the sky. What's her breakfast here? Just a forward four. Great blocking out of Dragon, so defensively in that situation, he did get the right call down to the ceiling. And a lot better there. More patience out of Dragon because he was very... I don't know what I want to call it. Panicking in these past couple of matches where he was either crouching without blocking or crouching. Oh, man, that's an easy break away. She hits massively upper-crushing blows. Not a lot of them. Not easy access to them, but they're there. There's a Punish one. That's useful for her. Screen control. He was absolutely right. Good damage here, and we'll see what he gets again. Back to the situation. This is a mix-up right here from Bullscreen. The ultimate feels bad, man. Looking for the area blow. Sonic Fox trying to go in. Just trying to do a lot of safe chip damage there with the 2-1-2. No more last breath available. The real master right now for Sonic Fox. End up in a situation here where he can pressure. And remember, we've seen those wake-ups a couple of times. From Dragon. If he connects with one now, even on block, he's going to take it. Oh, here we go. Even fatal blow on block would do it right now. Trying to settle himself down. Take those deep breaths. I'm breathing here. Here's some action in the Zonic. Slowly swapping Super. I like the decision to keep my end. Wait a minute. Getting a little more comfortable here is Dragon. I wish he had a couple more of those area blowers. That's right. Yeah, look at this. All of a sudden, he's really controlling the mid-range. He's not even allowed Sonic Fox into the situation to play the mix-ups. And he was right for the first time in a while. It's almost as if he's playing more... He's definitely defending a little bit more, but also making really good reads again. Yeah, again, he hasn't. I mean, until this last sequence here, zoning away, which is really where he wants to be. Sometimes that's just where the kooky crumbles, ladies and gentlemen. It can work. It can't work. That's the mix-up. Yeah, he really got everything there. There were only a couple situations where Sonic Fox got in, a few series, and Dragon guessed right on a couple of them. Again, the first time in a while. Retaking the lead here in this grand final. Very fitting that it comes down to these two. 260 on deck. That's a good position. There as you woke up. Here's a punish. And that... And that's the mix-up we've seen right there in that situation. Is either back dash or aggression out of Dragon. And how many walls are you going to jump in on? Yeah, I know. I'm telling you. That never works for me. I hear you. Finally winning an air-to-air, too. That jump forward of Cassie's defeating them all grand final along. Got it. Another one there. Needless trying to jump. What's Dragon's defensive choice? He hangs out. This time, Sonic Fox with the grab. Roll, and that situation where it seems like he can't guess right. One hell. And one. What a decision right there. And how many times has Dragon woken up in those situations with just a stand one? Hey. Ready for it. Sonic Fox here. Sonic Fox trying to go up. So smart. This is a huge round right here. Somebody's up two games to one in this on tournament game. Giant swing available in this round. The Fox approaching. Oh, that was a wrist. Good of a crush. Punish comes out of Sonic Fox. He's got the full-on corner. Now Dragon in trouble. In trouble. These little mix-ups here. Throw or not. Okay. That's a bar. Your patience didn't want to risk the wake-up jump or wake-up buttons there. So he had to, if he teleported it was going to be next to him. Sonic Fox away right there. And indeed he goes up two games to one from being in a terrible spot. Tournament point. It was him getting 0-3 in Winner's side. Then he battled back in the first set of grand finals. And now finally he is that tournament game. After losing the first game and then going back to the character that he got 3-0ed with. That's right. To the face of a man trying to adapt in real time. That is not easy. In his one game from being on the winners out of grand finals to losing this tournament as Dragon right now. You can't imagine the pressure that is on him as we get into this tournament point for Sonic Fox. Can Dragon send this to a final game of the tournament. There's a lot of money on the line. There's a lot of points on the line. Is that up 3? No it's not. 2-10. That may have been the first one I've seen out of Dragon. We saw 1-3 in this topic. 1-2. That was definitely the first one we've seen. Sure. What a whiff. What are you kidding me? Everything is working for Fox. Didn't expect the breakaway perhaps right there. Didn't get anything off of that 1-1. Against that active jump kick. It's been about 50-50 if it's going to work or not. Trying to get this right. It's going and stopping the start up of the ball there. Sonic Fox. One hit away. Looking for the same beat that he took around with last game. He's trying to look for folks. Stand 1. Here comes the pressure out of Dragon. 1-0. Oh my goodness. He was 1 hit away into a geyser. Into the round potentially. And here we go everybody. Can Dragon battle all the way back? Dragon needed before the jump kick became active. Uh-oh. Re-stand. Is it going to reset? Nope. Keeps it simple here. It's a punish. That means you get the crash. Oh Dragon did big trouble looking to keep up the conversion. That was something there. Approaching it here is something. They're crashing blow. No breakaway. This is going to be some big damage around 400. He's going to come up the second bar with a reset. No drop. No drop position here. Look at that. After. It was negative and he still dashed in.
