good afternoon good evening and good day welcome back to heroes ccl presented by wisdom my name is bahamut joined by grubby and justing and we are here in our ladder bracket playoff the gauntlet as we also like to call it for day number two we've got a few matches for all of you at home and we'll see who's gonna be able to make their way into the double elimination bracket before we start breaking down the ladder bracket and the double elimination bracket as well as that pricing and all that good stuff let's catch up with our wonderful friends here justin how are you how was your little preparation coming into today now it's been good i'm excited to see what uh storm esports is able to do today as they were quite dominant yesterday beating the 3-0 chili mountain and throwing them so yeah i'm definitely excited i'm really trying to see how this gauntlet shakes up yeah there's a lot there's a lot of fun to happen here and uh grubby how are you my friend are you ready for another wonderful day of hero ccl action happy to be alive and happy to be live because i had internet problems all day luckily we started early which meant that we had hours of troubleshooting to do and we finally reached internet stability all to be live here with the ccl so let's hope it keeps up and so excited about tonight's games storm looked absolutely dominant yesterday and uh well oxygen they're gonna come in fresh they've been studying it their league score was great so we should have the best playoffs match yet we'll get into that in just a second because i am anticipating i'm so excited about these matches but first as always let's go ahead and take a look at our prize pool because we have had some shake up since yesterday but as always this is always the standard 60 of that prize pool will be going to the players first place taking 35 percent and for example um oh okay uh the eighth place is going to be taking fifth place so uh for example yesterday granite gaming and chile mountain were knocked out in eighth eighth and seventh place they'll be taking five percent of said sixty percent over on the right hand side as always to be transparent with all of you at home the remaining forty percent will be going back to wisdom to be able to create graphics cover the league expenses as well as run beautiful broadcasts and have the best transitions possible for all of you at home it's always great to see like that one thank you so much it's always great to see that price will go up and up and because of your support we have had eleven thousand dollars uh eleven thousand one hundred forty four dollars and twenty cents and if you'd like to donate towards that prize pool you can use exclamation point prize pool but i'm not done we're not done talking about price pool just yet because grubby i believe there's a fun little incentive for somewhere around 15k maybe even 12 13 14. yeah every 1000 that we reach i'm gonna reveal one more clue as to the song that i would be performing if we reach 15 000 just a little bit of extra incentive the main reason of course is to support the league players and the health of the ccl and giving extra price money to the players and for putting in so much effort at presenting you with the best esports games but if we reach 15k i'm gonna be unveiling my parody song of illidan that was yesterday's little clue it's a full feature song with yours truly singing the serenade of illidan's travis in the nexus and we're really excited about that if we can hit 12k today maybe even 13 we'll find out a little bit more and more about this song exclamation point grubby song i believe will get you a little information as well as exclamation point prize pull over to the maturino and uh just really really exciting stuff and let's continue this excitement here justin and can you break down what we saw yesterday here on the ladder bracket so yesterday we saw chile mountain go up against granite gaming and they took them down in a clean 3-0 but then storm esports when they had to meet them and they got taken down 3-0 by storm esports now we have storm esports looking incredibly strong going up against oxygen esports today and the winner of that will have to face off against diamond hands so at the end of the day today diamond hands will be facing off against either oxygen or storm depending on who wins this next match storm esports are trying to rally and uh copy almost what the members of simplicity did in season one simplicity was in the exact same spot as storm esports and had a i would say a god tier run through the gauntlet bracket dropping i think like in totality like four matches all the way into the grand finals so some really cool stuff we'll see if storm esports can do that today but let's go ahead and jump over to the double elimination bracket probably because i know you love talking about team tbd team tbd the one that has been seen always has a dark horse always coming from out of nowhere then transforming into an actual team name no longer to be determined they're going to be going up against 30k who are the number one in the league standings a rank two and three in the league standings will be facing off one another that's how the seedings work that means simplicity versus wild heart which is going to be such a spectacular match simplicity our two times winner of ccl season one and two and wildheart even without justin still able to make top four which is uh incredible they had a really strong start then took a little bit of time to find their groove again and then looked strong at the end again so if they have been scaling up it should be a force to be reckoned with and also to note really quickly this double elimination bracket obviously we're going to know who team tbd is at the end of today as justin was saying we have two best of fives and it's either gonna be oxygen storm or diamond hands who will be in that spot up against 30k and this double elimination bracket will start on january 15th and 16th next next weekend and conclude on the 22nd with the losers finals and grand finals on 22nd so just if anyone was curious about how these play days are going to kind of unfold uh that is just kind of the schedule and you can also i believe there's probably an exclamation point schedule uh command as well in twitch chat the mods are already getting out there for all of you if you just want to know more about the future of our weekends for here at heroes ccl and uh since we talked about all that i actually want to mention one more thing really quickly command wise and i'm sure the mods are loving how much i'm i'm telling them people to spam things in chat uh exclamation point awards we do have an award show happening for heroes ccl

it's time grubby to start looking at these rosters let's start breaking down who are we going to see on the side of oxygen oxygen esports for the first time this weekend stepping into action it's going to be draided heavy madara uchiha my pal vince nazmas and pirate rum we haven't seen pirate rum as much but we have seen him he's known for his mephisto but there was a game where he didn't play the mephisto even though he was in the roster they're gonna be playing today a very very strong roster and uh my pal vince kind of a new tank here coming into the ccl but he's been availing himself very heroically indeed abby fantastic on the heel draided great ranged damage dealer as well and on the opposing battle uh on the opposing side of the battleground here justin who are we going to see on the side of storm esports we see the dominant storm esports from yesterday we've got bbj playing the support de quasa playing the offlane ib tings is the main ranged flexed uh rain main range for the team lauber plays that tank position and rutso is the flex and maybe we'll see cpx pop in if they're down o2 to show them how it's done but we've got rutso who has a lot of cool flex picks lauber just a solid tank bbj one of the best aggressive supports in the league just overall a superstar roster you're on oxygen really really strong rosters that are going to be clashing here in just a few moments we just want to make sure that you get you know who's on these rosters and i like that little comment they're adjusting about uh cpx you know maybe maybe if we end up on volskaya foundry maybe we'll get another another nova game my bingo card would love a nova game today uh but let's find out where we're gonna head to for map number one because we got that ready to go and i'm itching to get into these games it's gonna be really fun is we have found ourselves here on tomb of the spider queen for our first map chosen by storm esports and if you're wondering how we got to tomb let me get you caught up on that one oxygen is the home team and the higher seed of the option not the coin flip for first pick or matt pick they chose first pick and they ban out infernal shrines storm esports they get rid of sky temple and real quick as always for all of you stat hounds at home who love to know how these teams have played in the past storm esports are 4-0 on tomb of the spider queen while the members of diamond hands sit two and three in their records so storm esports they're gonna start out on a comfort map it was a little shaky yesterday up against chile mountain though uh grubby it was there was there was a couple moments where i was like oh i wonder if chilly mountain wins this with that hook stitches uh those massive hook stitches plays yesterday yeah the gorge plays were pretty good uh you know you had asteroid keep trying to look for some gorge opportunities but once the macro turned against his team it became too obvious where stitches was going to be was it not the moment where they were stood in front of the mid-keep and said they're going to go for boss very very soon and then they got stuck there sometimes you know those moments in storm league where you say don't engage them we are in x and y and z situation they were like oh we didn't engage we got engaged upon i'm like it's kind of the same if you put yourself on the enemy side of the map you can be engaged on you're accepting that a fight could potentially happen because someone could get picked only safe way is not to be there hard to accept sometimes it i've been i've been in that position quite a bit but let's let's talk about the position of these teams right now justin because we have a draft that is flying on out so we see the johanna and rhaegar being banned out that's pretty typical we did see johanna quite a bit yesterday which was sort of surprising junkrat's banned out by storm once again they do opt to very early uh prioritize the mephisto in the stitches and on tomb we've seen both of these being extremely effective i believe it was madara on mephisto in a previous week that just completely popped off on this map so yeah oxygen very uh very comfortable with what they've gotten both teams pretty happy with what they have storm esports making it seem a little bit obvious that they might be looking to go into some kind of double support here they don't have to with the stukov being picked up by oxygen it's not quite as good as it was yesterday for them they're not going to be able to get the stukov uther that they had previously to sort of enable the vala but they do have the defensive blaze paired with the vola and it's going to be a little bit difficult for them though to sort of evade these hooks my pelvis on the stitches is going to have to show us how it's done in this game if they want to win he's going to have to hit lots of hooks well there's that double support it's not gonna be a standard per se but we have the zarya coming through who uh by by role she's actually support because of the changes in lucio being a healer but still it's a double support and this is gonna empower the vola quite a bit de quasi may be on the blaze bottom lane but grubby i need to get your thoughts here as well because quite a bit has happened in the draft as well yeah i think what's most interesting that is coming out emerging here is that storm esports is not going for a standard way to counter a citrus comp there have been many different approaches when he came back into the meta a couple of months ago and one of them is to seven sided blow him up another one is to have a very clear saving button medivh or uther or anduin something like that but to just grab multiple layers of protection via lucio zarya that has been a little bit less common and basically storm is going to try to make sure that whoever gets picked by a hook the whole team can boost in help him out with a speed barrier from zarya with lucio helping the team catch up and then trying to stop that stitches perhaps with the garrosh toss i really like actually a lot of the empowerment into the vala through this lucio and zarya but also into the garrosh as well because you have that walk the garage the speed from lucio the speed barrier as you're mentioning grubby so i think this is a really good draft for uh storm esports i like what oxygen put together too but while we're getting ready to load into map number one to the spider queen here on hero ccl we gotta get justin to break down these two giraffes and maybe who comes out on top so both comps are definitely strong and well-rounded in their own sense but they're very different storm sports has a very defensive composition but it is a type of comp that stormy sports is very comfortable playing i've said in the past that they thrive in this death ball style composition where they're all kind of just focused on the same target inadvertently just not just always being on the same page just because they're all playing these aggressive things that just kind of stick together as a meatball that does get countered to some extent by mephisto and stitches at any moment your sort of defensive formation can fall apart if stitches does hit a good max range hook and mephisto very good at punishing that when you are clumping up so the side of storm esports is going to be looking to get picks early game with the garrosh with the speed shield from zarya and the lucio speed and outside of that they are a little bit light on wave clear compared to oxygen so i'm expecting oxygen to be able to although they do have the weaker tank be able to kind of control that early game rotations just through their waveclear advantage and i think if oxygen is able to kind of keep map pressure across the board not give away any siege camp's bottom which i think will be a big priority for storm if they're able to just keep a constant map pressure with their waveclear advantage they should be able to snowball through the early game but team fight's gonna be an interesting dynamic between super aggressive on oxygen and sort of just defensive uh death ball style from storm it is looking really strong for storm esports i just it's it's hard for me to vote against a rutzo zarya but as always just saying as we've loaded on in thank you for your analysis your breakdown and we'll see you after the game for more breakdown and information as the little friendly hook comes out from vince as we've got oxygen in the blue modera on the mephisto my pal vince or vince for short on the stitches another little friendly hook right there draided on the lunara heavy on the stook off nasmus on the leoric over on the right hand side we're looking at storm esports bbj on the lucio de quasa playing the blaze ivy ting's on the vala blah blah to play the garrosh and rutzo on his zaria i i've kind of given my opinion i'm calling for a storm esports win but i'm sure grubby you've got some thoughts on these drafts for tomb the spider queen as well oh this zarya's skin looks like my f you see that i can see it no i i see it i see it i see it like the head and everything yeah absolutely it might be like a maiev themed skin but you asked me about the draft it's okay i think oxygen's draft looks real good but then there's de quasa on the other side and there's russell and zarya normally i would say oxygen trapped if it didn't look at the players but just because it's rudzo zarya i'm gonna go with storm here that's i see that's me too like i love what oxygen put together here and and and i we like i kind of skimmed over this and i feel like maybe all of us kind of skimmed over this this is also heavy's uh stuke off like heavy stukov is in my opinion one of the best stukovs in ccl as well so it's it's a very fun dynamic because of course we're you know we're filtering into our double elimination bracket into next weekend so the gains should become harder and harder and more and more uh back and forth and and really they should be tighter i'm expecting really really close games in series today i'm expecting 10 personally in totality when it comes to maps but that's at least that's at least my wishes i'm sure these teams want to have some quick three o's and get to bed and be able to celebrate but either way grubby it's a pretty standard start to this map as we have a little bit of a scuffle over the rock lobsters for bottom lane and nasmus is able to wraithwalk away but these siege giant the sea giant camp will go over the side of storm esports and let's see how much it does but can we appreciate for a moment here the speed with which storm esports can wave clear and rotate i love it yeah and that was the moment of appreciation it was it was there right there that moment of silence between muhammad and i as we wondered who will say the next thing that was pure appreciation and respect we already have siege camp we have the mid wave boom bot wave boom siege scam bruiser storm is going like a hurricane through this map as they do the clears and they should be winning out with the bruiser camp here as well now what did siege cam do boss him it killed the entire bottom tower hey that's still a net gain for that siege giant camp plus you get a little bit of experience from grabbing the camp and i'm actually going to look really quickly seeing what the uh mini the mercenary experience it's about 300 difference between the two teams a little bit less than that but we're gonna round up on that caster math right there is there's a big lurking arm from stukov keep in mind ebby did go into that low blow so anyone affected by the lurking arm below 50 will take 225 more damage from lurking arm and it it can seem like oh it's just you know that's that's not that much more well we've seen people get shorted by that low blow level one and even teams are screaming about half the time but mata is gonna get thrown around right now that's a very low challah and first blood we'll go over to the side of oxygen and i don't know if they're done just yet but moderate definitely is repeatedly everyone on storm is dropping mega low they have these engagements and this time they did manage to get madura to be quite low in himself as well but you just get this sense you may not see every single ability every single auto attack but you just got this sense that storm enters a fight and everyone's getting hurt and has to run for their miserable lives lunara and mephisto together even stitches adding what little he can and of course heavy they're putting out so much damage on everyone simultaneously it's all that storm can do just to try and stay alive and in this case that was the first blood on vala oxygen looking very strong here at the level one to seven mark i would absolutely agree and ten talent here could be huge as well if the momentum does continue but that momentum might stall for a second mater gets over the wall with the shade mephisto with 70-something hp lucio does finish out his level four lobber's very low he's going to try and back away the barrier comes through the speed boost as well and lobbers out with 300 something hp want to quickly note as well vala did go creed of the hunter at level 1 while she does have 57 stacks out of 300 so she's got one percent right now out of the six total she has lost five percent off of the 25 bonus attack speed so currently her gambit sitting at 20 will keep you up to date on that number as the game does progress if she does fall any further into the game but i think the scaling for the volleys can be critical for storm esports that's a wonderful friendly hook to save moderate but does it actually lucio bbj goes in and vala does get the revenge kill heavy trying to back away lauber is almost able to set up the cc but it's still zarya coming through grubby storm esports clapping back with two kills of their own very very nice kills there by storm they stuck in there they kept everyone alive and they found an opportunity to get a nice advantage with 68 gems in the bank it would have been possible for them to try and create a situation where they pay however most of those gyms are on de quasa they decided the delay of trying to gatekeep his surname was not worth it considering they would have to go from top to bottom pay point and they decided instead saying we'll get these gems eventually but let's work what really matters in the now it will always matter take down these two towers guaranteed value over a delayed push that maybe gets value and that's one lesson i hope many storm leaguers will learn got buildings available to be killed do it it's the number one objective uh wait i thought the spiders were the objective uh well uh they are a means to an end killing is the end i do want to talk about the objective but i might pause that because we have a fight breaking out day quasi getting very low lurking arm does come out but the jet propulsion is in time speed very under labor as he considers to jump back in maybe he's just creating a little bit of space uh away from the enemy members of oxygen i want to get your thoughts here grubby there we're seeing two kind of tactics right now in the sense of storm they are putting a lot of gems onto the blaze and the garrosh as well as a little bit of lucio but if we look at the side of oxygen the vast majority if not all of their gems sit in the hands of vince uh i'd well i say that and he turned in quite a few right there but i just i want to get your thoughts like some teams are just like oh wait oh that's a warlord's challenge with the 10 talents here advantage over the side of stormy sports vince is getting very low ivy tings has the sustained damage 20 gems on so this is this is the question that i wanted to get to what are your thoughts on putting oh moderate oh no moderate heavy go get him go get him heavy no heavy no happy don't do it we were joking heavy i wasn't joking oh i i you're joking either way no you know what heavy went in there same idea i had you know one thing on his mind food no one thing on his mind and gems he picks him up you know wrecking ball is a packet for garrosh you're like it's cool you know wrecking ball isn't back i'm gonna go behind my fourth in comes bbj got that quest got the range got the extra push back and now we get to see whether lucio can help to counter here there's the high five stopping the endurance from the fist though very nice job there now we get to see that in action but he gets joined back in lover 28 gems oh lover he should go down right here he will nazmus will be traded russo does pick up the gems that lauber did drop on the ground abby tinks continues to dump in the damage and building up those auto attacks on the creed of the hunter level 118 right now lobber with his uh groundbreaker at level one excuse me warbury at level one thirteen out of fifteen he does have the first portion of the quest with the additional damage over time once he hits that 15 mark you get a cool a two second cooldown on your ground breaker which takes it to six seconds let's take a look at that moment again of that replay we can roll it back one more time it's never enough just to see it let's see the gem moment so here's stitches right look at bbj he goes in see how far he pushes stitches back there he goes in oh never mind we have a fight going on right now running away with speed barrier heavy goes down again so i'll recap for anyone uh that might have missed and we apologize because like these teams these teams literally it seemed like they were like they were in the lull moment where it's like okay no fighting right now but what ended up happening right there for the lucio to die is mephisto stepped forward launched a turns of hate into the face of bbj and the collapse was in from the rest of oxygen and at that point with mephisto being so far forward it was actually a counter kill into mephisto for the same thing i will say this i did miss how the stukov did die towards the end of that one but still we have redwood red webweaver summoned to the side of storm esports and we will see how much value they get here comes the toss on enasmus decent damage is out zarya explosion zone to zone back traded or at least maybe keep traded in and lauber gets hit with the entomb but he gets it with a speed barrier on top of that and is able to just walk out of any sort of damage finishing out his level one questing talent for that cool that two second cooldown on his groundbreaker yeah maybe we will watch some of these moments after the game again in the highlight reel because this game is full of highlights we can just roll back the whole game when this game is done it's one full set of highlights we've got 11 kills in just nine minutes in storm esports they still have a bit of a web weaver in the bottom lane half-life actually not too bad at all it's going to go to the gate it's going to start killing towers it's got one wave a couple of spider babies meanwhile how do they position themselves currently they're not showing on the map the wisp is here what is that level one wisp talent sentinel so it ends up revealing everybody the surprise is up oxygen is going to be looking to maybe do a hook gorge attraction yeah i'm looking at heavy's positioning he's ready to kind of throw a lurking arm out at any point and also being safe behind that wall from any sort of uh threat from lobber consistent damage from ib tings and it's even talent tears but there's that level difference turn and availability exists again for the side of storm esports ruxo 47 the hook goes out onto day quasi the gorge will land russell does get 47 in that's a nice push-off on defense and we have heavy casters as well for the stun bbj getting chunked is able to heal up a little bit get some barrier value from russo that's a wonderful entomb kind of locking lobber into an awkward spot and a quasi as well who gets the jet propulsion right away hook once again connects onto day quasa that is an into the fray out of this ray into the fray once again a wrecking ball from the lobber ivy teams are trying to throw in the damage uh bbj has to push off and speed out of here and it seems like oh wow that was a really good high five wait is it well self cleansed barrier two yeah he high fived himself yes unstoppable competitor uh personal barry makes zarya unstoppable up to two seconds but i did see bbj going for the high five but another fight breaks out there's gonna be toss on defense vince is taking so much damage he's living with that level one extra healing that 15 ah i thought he was gonna be able to get out of there but no it's not the case bbj is still stepping in mata is the new target who is gonna go over the wall with the shade of mephisto the durians of fate was attempted but it's gonna be a double kill maybe a triple kill is there a push-off from bbj lobber is going to pop the indomitable but the entomb comes out big lurking arm might be leoric to go down no he's wraith walking right out of there and another objective face to the side of storm esports who i gotta say are zooming through this map fun comment here in chat of twitch how does storm make every disciplined pro team almost seemed like brawling pepper gas god it's savagery today oh yeah but it does feel a bit like that right storm absolutely they've got this hectic style and they're dragging people into their influence zone uh oh that is i don't think there's a way out there for zarya maybe bottom lane maybe they sidewall maybe copium big case of copium there that was a sick hook gorge nice to take a little bit of the wind out of the sails of storm here but as i'm looking at the lobby you are just really rushing up right there as i look at some of the gem count realistically storm esports they could walk in this bottom lane and then just go and wait around turn in and look for another turning but as i take stock of what's at the top of our screen it's 15 to 16 and there's gonna be a toss under vince warlord's challenge reign of vengeance big burst from ivy things he's trying to find the last little bit of damage but the flailing swipes from heavy are too good lurking arm and an entomb that's a great hook onto ivy things you are going down valla and another stack of the creed of the hunter will fall as that is going to be 15 remaining on that bonus attack speed after two deaths on vala wow that was a really nice hook there by uh by stitches of course actually it was mostly leoric that set that up nasmus with that tomb catching too heavy's silencing circle was a little bit off on the side so it almost looked like it wasn't going to be enough uh of course generally oh hold that thought hold that's not another fight is breaking down is looking for a kill here pup goes in from stitches there's gonna be a big slam on the ground but it's only gonna deal damage to leoric as we do have vala still dead for nine seconds this feels insanely greedy and it's going to get punished by heavy's lurking arm low blow low blow stun from boss moderate taking too much damage really good play from de quasa on the blaze boss will leash uh gorge onto lucio but can bbj get out of this he's like 50 hp maybe he can high five nope okay slam from he's got level 16. great flailing swipe from heavy he does one more low blow flailing swipe from heavy prevented any fallback points four high five the boss remains untaken two victims have fallen to fight over it goes down to ivy things chase there's so many kills who goes good direction but short by just a few yards and the fight goes on now there is uh let's see two catapult one catapult in the bottom lane that is not being pushed out no none of the forts in fact only one tower has fallen for storm here that's the degree to which they are ahead structurally and it doesn't seem like even one singular gorge kill every now and then is enough to just stop storm no it's it's a bloodbath right now it's a lot of good back and forth and uh as always people love to know the catapult damage uh the one that was on the bottom lane in front of the keep was dealing damage to structures that is already doubled for all of you who are wondering um from the base like 250 something but either way it's uh storm esports they are showing in this rotation to boss they tapped wave and then rotated up to boss it is it should be clear to oxygen what the game plan is but oxygen i think they're going to take advantage of this moment and get it turned in to depressure these waves and try and push out the map a little bit gain control on the macro end of things and maybe grubby you want to listen into oxygen maybe see how they're playing the stitches composition yep that that should be great we haven't heard from them yet this weekend into oxygen we go they're gonna be 20 pretty far ahead of us i don't know if love turning as soon as they are though oh we won't no will they um i don't think they were probably not quite we won't be able to push with this though yeah that's fine uh we don't see them right now they're probably coming top maybe we could look for a gorge off the clear yeah i'm trying to look for the bottom okay we can tank another turning there's nobody a little hard but like another wave top let's not get picked in the middle of the map yeah it would suck i mean we could look for a gorge um sorry it's a little far out but yeah i want my mouth up okay they're 20 now we're only one level to go actually this is uh and they're not even turned in yet we just took 20. yeah john you're far like the they will zoom at you and i mean they've still got like a couple ways to grab we can let them push it to us care for the zarya bubble he could just sprint around the corner at you yeah one of the things one of the things that i do really like about uh what we heard in the oxygen comms is something that you and i grubby we were talking about in different comps yesterday about some teams were talking about what they want to do what they want to do but they weren't being cautious at all and i really like hearing the oh you're too far out mid they'll zoom at you and i think that is a really good way to define the giraffe that storm esports has put together it is and i made the joke that they're zooming around the map but even even oxygen is feeling the pressure of the speed that storm esports can kind of get around and even rush into the face of said members of oxygen ivy's just getting stacks nice another four stacks he said 187 uh two deaths not too bad at all that's more damage than he started with zoo stitches in the bush he wants to do some kind of hook and i think they saw one of his hooks going mid so they knew that he was looking in that area recently that was an area where he could be where he would actually have time to hook gorge and then oh okay okay okay is that gonna be enough i don't think it is enough but is it it was close you know without zarya shields that might have been why we're dead also the hifi from lucio was really critical right at the end of that as well and keep in mind lucio does have the mixing fire as well so you can now target enemies and reduce the healing that oxygen can get with sich is dead for the next 27 seconds and web weaver is actually descending quite far into the waves storm esports are looking to pull the trigger on game number one toss on to lunar dreide is going to get hit with the world's challenges a lot of damage going into drain and drainage will be falling to the fall of sustained damage a lot of damage going into lava as well he's around 600 hp expulsion zone comes out as well there's a lot of really low storm esports members that could be cleaned up but moderate will return to his origin point heavy getting pushed around by the high fives of lucio bbj and friends have made managed to push up this mid wave get a mid keep top keep has gone down bottom keep has gone down as well lunara dead for 42 stitches back and it seems like storm will call the back off unless this is actually a bait that they're leaving yeah it looks like it lubber goes back in he gets the speed barrier oh nice flailing swipe there by heavy to stop that but it's not over just yet draided still dead for the next 25 seconds on lunar there's a gorge on the lobber at the top of our screen who's going to be put right in front of the core that necrotic wave coming out as well dealing a little bit of damage to him as the bunker does come down and asmus is going to be the new target for vala and ivy things is just crushing with this vola 231 stacks and rising as the core is starting to lose shielding here taunt on to vince he's going to get very low it looks like vince will fall as well some staggered deaths as lunara does respond the fight continues grubby a lot of low members of storm esports as laubern please will fall moderate bbj you need to get zuma out of here and he will not as four members fall 73 remains on the oxygen core and vala ib tings is able to back away not losing another stack still at that 25 or excuse me 15 percent dude moderate was slaughtering them [Laughter] i learned a new word i recently watched uh hot fuzz and it's it's from that one i'm not gonna take it down but either way uh you know what we got a little bit of time grubby can you can we can we break down what just happened yeah let's just all agree to just look at matara with mephisto he's got that uh double shade so where is over the core okay it's a skull missile yeah look at matara look at madara hopefully we're gonna see his magical moment oh it's gonna it's coming it jumps in it's gonna get static barrier look at that look at that bala while i was not getting it yet he can go in again there we go there we go see those double circles he's chasing vala away another one coming in boom double circles he's destroying blaze and garrosh at the same time i'm now chasing vala as well chasing zarya in fact and taking her down so sick so much damage so many circles to dodge and what's what's best is after he killed all those he had over 7 000 life 4 400 baseline and a massive shield that he got from static barrier so he did all that without the benefit of spite level four talent that gives more cdr he earned all his cdr not from a regeneration globe but from auto attacks and from pvp ability connections now question is is that going to be enough generally when a zero ford team wipes a 64 team you need at least one more wipe or several advantageous fights usually i feel like you need three wins they have one can they put a second one on the board well the fight will break out lyor does wraith walk in to reduce some of the damage vince is getting very low and big and tomb comes out the bunker's down from the blaze and garrosh gets inside but a huge proportion out of the oh my god that was such a dirty jet propulsion i shouldn't even be allowed in ccl but still vince is going to try and walk away nasmus does go down the left-hand side of the screen zarya and lucy have chased down the lunara and one two three four five pen to kill to the side of storm esports they wipe the members of oxygen off of tomb of the spider queen they rush to this oxygen core york's ghost is all that remains the core will fall and storm esports will be victorious in map number one in our first best of five of the day as a reminder we are in the gauntlet there's no bottom bracket this is the bottom bracket per se and if you lose your best of five you are done for the season and right now storm esports they're bringing fury and flame to this fight it was really well played really well controlled and great back and forth i i we said it yesterday that today's games were going to be really good and we're in map number one and grubby i'm already sold that today is gonna be a fantastic day here on hero ccl yeah very entertaining game in bahama 22 versus 11 kills in 22 minutes of game time that's one and a half kills per minute we've been spoiled with peanut and oh man storm really wiped oxygen there what's interesting is the boss still had 30 000 hp as it broke through the top keep so if oxygen wins that fight even in three versus one they're gonna end the game they're gonna win that no they didn't need a second and a third victory they just needed one more but their only actual major victory in the game it set them up for the situation they couldn't get a second one massive stun de quasa justin what happened there so oxygen it did feel like in team fights they were just getting mostly outplayed by storm and their tools are there but their comp was a little bit awkward you could tell that if stitches lands a hook it takes a big effort still to even kill whatever target they they hook especially when garrosh seem to be wearing most of those hooks through most of the game you don't really have any tools to ill garrosh when he gets low outside of laoric with drain and typically eric isn't playing in the same part of the fight as the stitches is in most situations most the time the lyric is either like pressuring the back line or kind of setting up like a second front line for his team like he's not typically standing in the same place as stitches so you could tell that lauber was getting pretty low but they didn't really have any tools to finish him off and actually get the kills on him vince also just wasn't quite respecting the garrosh enough it is a very bad matchup for stitches aarosh is probably the best pink to play into stitches just because you can be super aggressive stitches really has no tools to escape if he gets thrown in so in the early game it was working pretty well for oxygen overall um vince wasn't really a target because just because lauber didn't choose to hook him early game because they have light damage val is their only real damage so it's hard to kill stitches early but once walla starts getting those stacks and ivy tanks was stacking like a machine with his level one talent with his auto attack build eventually they get to the point where stitches becomes kind of a detriment if he's ever caught out of position and the garage was doing that quite well also there's just so many defensive tools from storm that they don't need to really engage themselves unless it's like really high probability play for them for the most part they have they just have so many tools they have the ally toss they have bunker they have high five they have zarya all of these things make it very very difficult for oxygen who has a very slow damage aoe focused composition they don't have great single target damage so even if they hit the hook more so their strategy would have needed to be just hit the hook just to bait storm to come in to try to save that target and they would have they would have needed to immediately swap focus onto somebody else or just play a slower game around the hooks they were kind of using a little bit too much resources to try to get the one shot on whoever they hooked and if you do that against storm's comp with all that single target defense and with your comp having pretty light single target damage it's just really hard to play the stitches comp in that game storm played it really well they were saving people when it didn't seem like it was possible for them to be saved there were a lot of times where the hook george looked good it looked like it was gonna get a kill and it didn't thanks to lucio and zarya and the rest of just the defensive tools the the ally toss from garrosh and they almost threw the game when madara almost saved it at core with the mephisto pop off where it was a four for two they did get the 70 core they get the boss turn in but they're desperate at that point they don't have any keeps and so they think the best thing for them to do is to just push top which is okay but they kind of needed to check their flank a bit more they do get caught out there my pelvis got thrown real far from his team and when the fight starts like that with a stitches comp it's just really hard to come back against the neverending swarm of storm esports with their composition you're so right and actually uh we didn't get to mention because the map as grubby and i were saying throughout the cast was just so chaotic and everything was evolving so very quickly uh there was a point where de quasa on that blaze in the top lane you were mentioning where there's the massive flank de cuas was kind of selling the idea that oh i'm just here to defend and then i was looking at the mini-map what they did on the side of storm was they cleared mid and as the mid vision for the side of oxygen was going away storm was actually on the trajectory to go bottom and clear that out so it looked like storm was not even trying but then they double back and go into that flank it was so perfectly played because blaze sold the entire idea that hey i'm all here by my by myself i'm just trying to poke at this wave with my flame streams and my oils so i think storm esports are really operating on us on a just a fantastic level and a higher level as well and oxygen they really got to start matching up to the speed and potential of storm esports because right now loving what we saw from game number one but it's not over by any means it's a best of five series and i believe we can start finding out where we're gonna go to for our second map in said series and it has just been insane and i gotta ask grubby as we're about to get into the map stuff oh do you have any takeaways from that map as well because i'm sure you got a few comments on as well yeah i i get i get a really strong power level from storm here because there's two ways to approach a match and one of them is with a perspective of trying to counter your opponent trying to see how they play and coming up with the counter strategically and then there's to just look at my look at my muscles kind of strength where and usually when you do that the second style which is what i'm feeling from storm you're just like these are our strengths you feel a lot more comfortable because not everything comes down to whether your estimation of how your opponent is gonna react becomes true or not you already know you're zooming you're strong and that gives a lot of confidence and i think we're gonna see that continue to shine i don't see storm weakening up in the next game it doesn't come down to some kind of special draft they're taking all the things they're known for bbj lucio rodzo zarya so i think they're going to look really tough and oxygen they've got a challenge for themselves that's for sure it's definitely gonna be a challenge and we can actually find out where the next challenge is going to be because we know what map we're going to be heading off to and it will be the map choice of storm esports as the side of oxygen esports opting in for first pick priority is the losing side from map number one uh stats as always for these maps we have the side of oxygen's record for battlefield of eternity they are three and three fifty percent win rate and over on the side of our wonderful storm esports they are oh and three so storm esports are choosing to take us to a map that they are winless on maybe they can shake things up here but as we get into this map justing i gotta get your thoughts is does this play really really well into what storm has already kind of showcased on map number one tomb so storm can do a similar composition but probably not exactly the same storm really likes these deathball comps and double support itself isn't great on this map it's definitely doable if you get a good enough hyper carry if they do get that vala again but in general the easiest way to play this map is to play for poke and to just kind of play around vision whereas if you are trying to play this death ball style composition you have to fight the enemy off of their own immortal in order to get it so it's a much safer strategy to play for poke storm esports being aware of that they ban hanzo which is one of the two i guess three now that lunara is more viable as a poke hero you have hanzo you have li ming and you have lunara so i would expect one of those to be prioritized for oxygen and storm understands that because a hanzo band first like this isn't isn't typical by any means so they're gonna try to kind of force oxygen out of playing that super easy play style which is poke so whatever oxygen picks first will kind of give away what they're looking to do one thing that could be kind of weird that we could see potentially is possibly a samurai from nasmaz these these matches they're starting to get close to the point where i mean they're back's against the wall soon they're down 01 in the series it is single elimination in the gauntlet so if nazmez wants to show off his kind of special tricks this would be where you do it that being said it's pretty hard when there is a johanna already being picked on the other side but as you foretold there's the poke hero in li ming and uh what are your thoughts on this battlefield draft as we're getting to another band face grubby we got a little bit of a setup here for oxygen to do a single target burst varian and li ming have long been a classical combination she can't miss her magic missiles so i'd be very disappointed if she doesn't go mirable seekers in glass cannon and variant on someone depends of course if there's going to be a cleanse or not and i only say that half jocularly but they're a strong combo together and li ming is one of the folk heroes that are so good which justin said is the safest way to play this map and i 100 agree lee ming's best map battlefield of eternity and hanzo is the other one that's so good at poking so a great setup for oxygen with leaning towards single target burst but remember limine can clean up if a single target goes down so she can be a hyper carry if the draft allows for it also we have the availability of rhaegar going into ancestor healing to save anyone who's really going to get chunked by the i'm kind of hoping for a blessed shield reign of vengeance combo and then i wonder if john actually goes into i think it's the level seven punishment which gives you uh healing reduction so you maybe could actually reduce the healing of the incoming incestor healing i think it's like 30 on the punish i'm not 100 on that one but um justin there's a lot still happening gotta get your big breakdown as we're gonna get into the final picks of oxygen yeah i think oxygen is being punished quite heavily for showing their cards so early by picking up that variant the li ming makes sense to take early leaning on battlefield eternity that doesn't really show anything when you pick the varian here it opens up the possibility of a potential double support with uther johanna used to be really weak with double support because she didn't do any damage and she was also pretty bad into double support for the same reason but now johanna does a ton of damage and you can enable her as almost a second hyper carry so i wouldn't be surprised to see just a mouth picked up they went out of their way on the side of oxygen to ban out three supports but i think that last support the anduin really needed to be an uther and we're seeing it immediately picked up by rutzo and now they get to choose whether they want to play solo heal uther or not so this is just really good drafting coming out from storm esports i think they've pretty much gotten everything they want and ib tings has shown in the past as there's the brightwing there's the double support it's not malf i think this is still fine but ivy things having a great time with this and varian's main weakness is it's so telegraphed that they want to play for one shots especially with the chromie coming out the double mage they have no sustain damage they have lee ming chromie that's it follow up on varian you have the the spell armor now from brightwing on top of the uther who can even go into um the armor at level seven if he wants i i think storm kind of just taking full advantage of such a a linear holographed pump coming out from oxygen it i think it's just that picking the variant that early is just a pretty big mistake i'd say because they get the uther the right wing double support enabling a johanna as well like i said the johanna in previous patches would have had to have been something like a sonia or maybe a hog or something that does a lot more damage but now johanna does just as much damage as they do especially when she's got double support behind her so while they do have the harder play style they don't have the poke they have to kind of fight past the immortal and that's gonna be what they're looking to do i i'd be pretty worried uh for oxygen right now if i was them because there's just no sustained damage into a double support composition and there's really also a lot of shutdown into the oxygen side you polymorph rain of vengeance if picked at level 10 a condemn from jonah kind of throws things off a little bit uther stuns blaze jet propulsion um i'm very much leaning into the storm esports draft as well but i we can still be surprised heavy on rhaegar is something we haven't talked about nasmus gets a url so there is still a lot of good control between the slows of rhaegar urel with her righteous hammer you also can get uh templar's verdict i believe it is which which is going to be armor reduction off of your righteous hammer hits i think that plays well into the chromie li ming so they can burst someone down very get mortal strike which reduces incoming healing maybe you can reduce an entire not entire but 40 of a brightwing phase shift so a lot of cool stuff to happen here justin thank you for breaking everything down for us and we will see you after battlefeed of attorney because we are loaded on in ladies and gentlemen and let's go ahead and introduce our two teams here on battlefield fraternity in our first best of five of the day on the left-hand side we have oxygen heavy on the rhaegar nasmus on the url moderate to play the chromie draited to play the li ming and vince will be on the varian over in the red we have the members of storm esports ivy things on the vala bbj on the brightwing lobber to play the joanna rutzo on the uther and de quaza once again on the blaze now what do you think grubby as we have loaded on in you've heard justin and i thoughts i'm calling for a stormy sports win what do you think yeah i understand the double mage play by oxygen because it effectively tries to circumvent the blinds that johanna is offering as a samurai or a greymane you're never too happy to pick it into a known johanna quantity so that i kind of get and there is also the healing debuff from varian that can stop both uther and bright wings rather big heals sometimes like bright wings face shift and uther's large holy well the q heal anyway yeah but then there is all those forms of armor spell armor and straight up armor and that makes it a little tougher i think storm has the easier comp to play i think they have more ability to adapt to enveloping situations because it's they have actual sustain damage they can be very meted out whereas liming and chromie cannot always respond to a position because they are very much more cool down based and for this i think statistically it's more likely that storm will win this draft even when not looking at the player's strength or the results of the previous game but as always we'll let the players do the talking through their actions may the best team win good luck to both teams as always and and we can see just as we actually have ebj being targeted is able to kind of float away from any sort of incoming combo of li ming with that uh arcane orb phase shift will be utilized as well and the camp over to the side of storm esports we sit kill us so far in our battlefield of eternity map um after you know aft after seeing so much bloodshed on a tomb of the spider queen with like 33 total kills 11 to 22 i'm itching for more deaths here grubby i need to see some kills it's been too long it's almost two minutes where's the kill yeah we had one and a half per minute in the previous game but of course two of the spider queen is one big aram all three lanes are closer together than even halfway the map here that i said that is so true that yeah i think that is true so oxygen they make use of this known rotation top where storm goes for the cancer impaler and they start doing structural damage makes you wonder if it was worth it leaving just two here to get those top side cards for impalers a tower is a pretty hefty loss for instance if you don't lose bottom tower you can leave a bruiser camp pushing your gate and it won't do anything even when it's one way versus one wave many people want to clear the bruiser camp before the objective begins it's not actually important if no one is pushing with it into double tower now that there's one tower defense is required so storm will have a few people a little bit fewer people ready to contest immortal fights as they are forced to be here 20 seconds from now it's something that may come into play depending how it goes it's actually kind of funny i'm looking at the experience breakdown and blaze actually got a little bit of siege in top lane so when we look at the structure experience it's exactly the same passives the same minions the same the difference is mercenaries that's why we see a little bit of a lead closer to seven talent here for the side of storm esports is because they've gotten the top and bottom in paler camp they've got their own camp on the right-hand side but the fight will start breaking out around bellath and it seems like the first half of the immortal phase will be going over the side of storm esports as ivy teams was able to sit there and auto attack his way through ellerian our blue immortal on the right hand side but now we do have rutzo coming in to try and stall out some of this race ivy things is not gonna be able to win this race uh since lauber and the rest of storm esports are currently just over here hanging out trying to slow down this potential from oxygen as the phase shift from bbj does come through ruts are getting very low right now the targeting is going to be on the nasm nasm is getting very low there's gonna be stunned from the uther as well polymorph does come through and nasmus is able to get the avenging wrath away pretty cool uh disengaged nobody died we had a few people dropping fairly low but ural managed to get away despite all the stuns in the world the physical armor really helping out there as well as vala missing right because it's basically double tank double healer oxygen gets the first immortal even with their double mage comp that quarter coat lacks sustained damage they manage to have enough spells peppering it as they get the first immortal that gets him a couple of towers romy's being chased here ollie morph he sacrifices himself basically maybe he can get one more shot on the keep okay he shot that fallout [Laughter] sorry it was just it was it just the idea of it's it's chromies it's like i'll i'll i'll i'll i'll dive on the grenade for you oxygen run run that's just and it was comical to me but should be noted that there is actually a pretty decent race by oxygen all things considered after analyzing all that because they do have two dps and they have rhaegar who does good damage for a healer more than uther brightwing to be sure and on the other side there's only one dps so oxygen does have the poke on the immortal and and they do have the two ranged dps in that sense storm will always have the pressure to perform a proper defense of the objective wondering how the tables turn at level 10 because we also are going to be seeing maybe like a half a level lead in favor for the side of storm esports maybe three quarters of a level because of just the constant camps being grabbed and in top lane actually jonah's rotating up i don't know if uther and joanna can kill euro but they're just putting pressure into the lane and also just zoning for the vola thanks to our observer for catching that because i wasn't sure if nasmus was actually being threatened by any means and not uh not so much right now let's look at this level seven yesterday we saw divine steed for your rail now it's gonna be fast moving hammer it seems to be quite popular among uh most of the na teams walking around with that hammer with that bonus movement speed instead of a debuff we see slowing sounds coming out for chromie seems about right too many layers of single target protection to try and get anything out of temporal loop besides just the cdr that it offers oh my god and that's gonna be iron skin forced by the johanna to back away and not only that i mean you've got soothing mist from brightwing you've got jonah ironskin you got uther with his own uh hand of protection blaze i mean at a tenno of bunker which is basically anyone can jump in the bunker so it's just i agree and also slowing stands on a map like this really it can funnel enemies through specific areas so you can kind of control where your enemy steps into you a little bit kind of like on towers to do when you take down the bell tower and there's those bottom lane bell tower objective phases you're able to control when and excuse me where the enemy rotates into the set objective but let's talk about this battlefield engagement because here comes a little bit of damage on defense who's going to be able to actually re-engage under rut so the taunt was utilized as well 10 second cooldown onto that there's going to be jeff propulsion from dave quasa polymorph as well will connect onto vince a lot of damage being prioritized into vince but no the targeting changes on the heavy can he get away jeffrey pulls from blaze and heavy does go down another kill over the side of storm esports and ivy tings is just sitting here auto attacking after auto attack this is only 40 stacks but still it's good sustained damage three kills 10 talent tier oh bless shield falling sword another cleansing tool for so much incoming lockdown from the side of oxygen esports i'm loving what we're seeing here grubby yeah very nice job there by storm i think russo took a very aggressive position with this uther and he felt comfortable doing that i wasn't sure if it was going to work out i played quite a bit of uther and he can feel very fragile sometimes he knew exactly what he was doing even walking considerably through the slowing sands in order to try and get that kill and it worked out he's truly an uther master storm is now gonna try to win this race and they will win it just by a bit 1200 life pretty close they're all out of mana so they can't even go pick up the globes because of the pressure super nice body blocks by nash mass falling sword will be utilized by lauber there's going to be the self-casted divine shield iron skin popped by the johanna as well just to back away because varian was looking for a taunt it is no it is not on cooldown and leeming's wave of force is five seconds away bellath will spawn in the bottom lane and i'm sure people want to know his damage right now 642 basic and then into structures 1284 as vince puts some pressure into de quasa the pressure is actually being applied to this urel on top lane she does have ardent defender it's off a cooldown she could pop it if she really needs it and there will be the arden defender reign of vengeance to lock down the url a little bit further oxygen has rotated up and i think storm esports but their lack of mana on a critical hero like joanna needs to back away i'm not even sure he needed to use it but he wanted to make sure to use it rather than the yeah i guess to potentially go down to some kind of cc chain that's all they wanted i think like that that ultimate takes three times longer to come back yeah than urel's life so that's a big win that's a two-minute cooldown they were chasing i do i do like that that forced heroic from the side of uh oxygen esports they did on well from oxygen side too they did get the divine shield out from uther at some point but that's only a 90 second cooldown as the reengagement comes out falling start from jonah will be targeting onto heavy as we do have vince trying to put pressure on to lobber but lobber just continues to step in because bbj comes in with the phase shift and i gotta look at this really quickly on the experience breakdown page mercenary is okay i thought it was gonna be a lot more it's 2271 to the 3711 and we are gonna be seeing about 3 000 experience difference between the two teams that's what's yielding us this solid 13 talent here well in a second for the side of storm esports as they take down the bottom lane fort after the immortal did get some decent siege initially kind of a window for oxygen they faced off against storm's five heroes with four as urel nazmas was getting most of the life off that top ford oxygen's own bottom ford was low enough on health that it didn't take much more than a slight breeze to knock it down eventually storm rotated with several people top and they stopped derail's progress but not before much damage had been dealt nazmas has set that top ford up for future defeat and destruction however the earlier you actually fully kill a fort the earlier catapults and passive experience game start racking up for your team so the difference is in whether that task is completed yet or not it doesn't look like they can soon look at it again for now the defensive immortal positions fully lead the teams into a non-combative trade top lane does have camps coming through and i was thinking do you mayb did we jump into storm esports comms right here yeah it seems like a great time let's do it baja and we go yeah i'm just staying under the top it's fine they used me i'm going around here a bit i'm coming up now oh if we stay they just poke right i have to burn yeah yeah yeah yeah if you can go on your rails maybe without there as well can't stand i don't think we can kill them here i'm still burning them to be back yeah yeah they can't throw yeah yeah if we stay like this it's okay i'm gonna take a look at each other i have everything i'm chilling go on go erase now go race help me they're gonna get the race now they're gonna get the wrist but it's okay oh yeah so we don't die here look you're out you can kill yourself yeah they're coming as well though she has no bubble right now rhaegar how do you shield him go uh i'll leave him i don't know we're all alone man i don't want to thumbs up if they do something to us look at regular feedback systems um i have to have here i have type actually we can remove here we can get something yeah we're in fans careful they're idiots everyone just killed varian you're skilled very can't escape i guess he has his dash he's going to do that no he doesn't have it he went oh he was protected what the hell keep chasing him down you get him in one i have a tent with someone with him we can take top as well um yeah i'm getting dubstep maybe both wave someone i guess i agree with them i mean we are almost 20 that's our powers back i think i'm 20 we can just like just run at them and i just grubby i'm not gonna lie i didn't want to leave those comms i was like mesmerized by how well they are communicating as a team and i love being able to hear ivy things like chime in here and there and like so calm like i'm in slowing sands it's like oh you're okay you're okay it's like oh i'm in trouble oh you're okay you're okay look at this i feel like really cool to hear from sermon esports but like the i love how lobber's leading as a tank um the way that he's communicating i have stuff i have buttons i'm good um he's not gigafine but he's good he's good there's a difference i think he's i think he's figured out his verbiage yeah yeah and you know all the calls were correct as well in who they could get they didn't end up getting urel but everything else actually happened true to his word so that was really quality calls not 100 oxygen are idiots but it's a it's an emotional it's a thing of the of the moment uh emotional kind of thing and more like that move perhaps wasn't ideal rather than they actually do not possess any intelligence at all i think that's how he meant it and it was cool that they actually recognized that because it didn't have any mana themselves storm so i was very surprised that he saw that that was a potential turnaround point that they were willing at that moment to drop all the push of the immortal and minions that was super super impressive personally to me great calls from lobber great follow-up as well i think even the entire team realized they had tap and they were like okay we all tap and just turn and it was such a well-timed condemn from lobber just to set everything up and then the shot calling into rhaegar but let's continue talking about both of these teams as we have another immortal phase spawning here grubby it's going to be a north-south positioning and we already see oxygen who just got their 16s checks the uh bush with the banner that varian just picked up which that banner is going to be a strong talent at level 20 if he does go there go into that excuse me the biggest thing that i want to note though is earth grass totem is now online for rhaegar it deals 272 damage scaling but it also slows by 90 percent for one second which could be exactly what draided and moderate need to be able to get their big burst damage in and then vince can continue to lock people down with his uh taunt but that that all has to kind of line up very well and also rhaegar kind of has to be a little close to be able to summon that totem so we'll we'll hang on to that idea for now as oxygen are in the defensive positions brightwing is just soaking through bottom lane i love how bbj is split soaking walking that wave up has the phase shift available for anyone that is wondering yeah so it's just gonna get a little bit more damage getting that catapult on the wave there meanwhile a very patient game by both team cherelle on the perimeter there she's probably going to take a stun to the face stop those wings that's a nice force again on absorbent defender great job by storm bunker into the slowing sands he pops out of it with a bit of a displacement possible with that bunker as well love that telltale chime sound hydrated picking up that seeker at level seven and it's got the fireflies at 16 to make sure that those connect more red readily anytime three missiles hit the same target as bonus damage luther goes in it is time they think they go on top of uh li ming do you mean gets polymorph nice ancestral fantastic jet propulsion these shields on blaze to keep him safe rigger wow the final flame stream from day quasa takes down rhaegar great accuracy by storm very surgical deletion of rhaegar off heavy right there there was an initial dive on the dreaded but i love what matara did with the time trap we have the synergy of the level one time walker's pursuit but then you also have the time troubles at level uh four for her too but hold on i'm gonna hold that thought on the uh on the towns because russo almost goes down it's traded now who's going to be the target the slows are on the vince jeff propulsion is going to be eaten by anas traded sitting with a couple hundred health and that's gonna be varian going down another stack for the vala at 158. ivy tings is hungry for more kills vaults in time stop the longest stasis and heroes of the storm will finally expire and moderate does go down but moderate i just want to give credit where it's due moderate utilized the time trap onto li ming earlier on that dive and that gave leaving 30 armor and it saved her unfortunately did not save heavy on the rhaegar and he was the new target i love when we were in the comms and i think we can actually see it kind of being displayed here grubby i think storm does a really good really good job of retargeting during team fights they they all go okay we're going to do this and then immediately when someone else is at a position they all know how to follow up on what's being called out is okay instead of li ming or excuse me instead of uh yeah instead of leaving it's not rhaegar and they make that immediate jump and it's really working out for them right now is this immortal is gonna go over to the side of storm esports that's a very risky jump in but i realize there is well yeah it's really risky i was like you got a defender but you got to be able to push your buttons and when you can't you're gonna go down to ib tings as that is anot another double kill 10 to zero 20 talent here and belloth in top lane with a massive shield romy wasn't there urel jumps in by themselves even though they have absorbent and rhaegar goes in by himself maybe to save urel and now out of position both unable to use their oath before they die storm of course five few once not the hardest thing in the world but still great deletion there oxygen kind of throwing it there maybe they felt that if they give that kind of immortal it's gg anyway but i'm not sure what one hero can really commit there perhaps a little bit of an emotional reaction to the recent turn of events that have been happening that's very very possible there is uh it is we keep saying this but this is you know this is the do or die right now in the gauntlet as there's gonna be an all-in on to varian falling sword reign a vengeance jet propulsion big burst from ivy things once again 186 stacks as the keith will fall bellath right now in this top lane dealing 1852 damage into structures still has a tiny little shield once that shield falls he'll move into melee range falling sword for the unstoppable robber gets some cooldown reduction 18 seconds onto that one there's gonna be nasmus being targeted right around the immortal nazmus is going to try and get some righteous hammer bops around does have that armor reduction ancestor healing will come through luther gets the stun midair onto nasus polymorph comes through divine shield onto the blaze and ladies and gentlemen storm esports 11 to zero 21 to 18 in levels will crush members of oxygen but it's not over just yet the dreams of oxygen are looking well they're looking a little choked out right now and it's possible for them to to to breathe some air into the series but it's looking very very strong for storm esports and i'm sure justin you've got a lot to break down for us here yeah stormy sports looking super strong i would say that this game out of all the games we've had in the gauntlet so far is the only game where if i was not drafting and my team drafted me this and i saw the team confs i wouldn't really know what to tell my team like how we win the game it this was the only draft we've had so far in the gauntlet that i felt was super imbalanced for one side that side being storm having just a ridiculous composition into what oxygen is drafted you could tell that in the early game oxygen was doing okay because they have the safety of their forts to retreat to and they have a very unsafe composition against what is essentially five illidan's on the other side of storm esports with their comp like once you once your forts are down you have nowhere to really run and that's the way that storm esports comp needs to play since they don't have the poke they have that hard engage you know bully you off of your own immortal style that's much harder to pull off in the early game when you have ports right there and that was really kind of shown in that game especially with once they reached level 10 they actually had uh for storm that was kind of when things started to turn on for them before that it was a little back and forth they were getting kills but they weren't really getting anything any objectives nothing serious oxygen got the first objective they got the third objective but then after that level tens come in and storm can really start playing their game they were slowly whittling away at the forts through the whole early game on the side of storm esports and level 10 is like a good start for them to be able to start actually playing team fights because before that there's really no way for them to stop oxygen's double poke mage from poking but once the forts are dead once they're level tens once they get their 13 16 talents which just scale a lot better than oxygens does then it kind of becomes unwinnable for oxygen they would have needed to have maybe a two level lead at least by the time they hit level maybe 12 to 10 but they weren't that far ahead so there's really just it's nearly impossible to win the game after that once you get to 13 16 your forts are down there's nowhere to run like here too when lauber uh he called for the pre-tap their whole team taps they just bait it once oxygen's this far away with no fort in their lane they just get ran down and i mean where are you gonna run if you're chromie chromie li ming like you don't you kind of just have to leave same with varian he want the protect at level 10 instead of going with the ally jump so he has no mobility to escape once he gets in rutso played really well on the uther this game he was he was basically the tank this game johanna was more of like a flex dps johanna wasn't really engaging fights for the most part typically every single fight just started with a rutso stun and you could hear him in the comms too being very vocal about that they were tracking the taunt cooldown because that's pretty much the only um threat from oxygen overall and also when we heard the comms from storm they they just had a lot more voices there was a lot more information everyone seemed to be just really meshing well all on the same page all giving valuable information whereas in the first game when we listened to oxygen comps it felt kind of like the madara show in comms it didn't feel like there was quite the same level of cohesion between all the members at least not vocally in comms and i mean that game i do think was a pretty big draft blunder i would i would have liked to see nasmaz i think he had an opportunity to potentially carry the game if you want a different build we pretty much always see the url build that we saw this game it's pretty standard but i think that if he would have gone the kind of like the tank url build where you get the q talent at level one with the damage reduction at 13 i think he may have actually had a chance at shutting down the enemy team comp because the the velen's chosen the damage he gets at level 13 pretty insignificant into double support and into a bunch of just beefy characters but if you can reduce the vala and the johannes damage at the same time with that q at 13 then his team could have possibly had a chance especially since ivy tanks on the vola went with the auto attack build into rhaegar with the attack speed slows i think they had a small chance had he gone that build but i think as soon as you go the normal build it's kind of just doomed once the forts are down you get ran down by storm esports and storm esports really good at death balls and they showcased it here in this game it was beautifully played and you made a note adjusting of when we were in the comms how they were all providing valuable information there was a point where lauber as they were chasing varying was like lava is like oh he's gonna dash to a hero or he's gonna use dash or something and then bbg goes no he took wall and then lobber goes oh what the hell so it's it's it is it's one of those things like i think you nailed that perfectly because there was a lot of really good there's a lot of voices but it was voices providing valuable information it wasn't just noise like my storm league games when i'm just screaming and hoping to god that i'm winning but uh right now the members of storm esports are winning in our first best of five series of the day but it's not over just yet we're only two maps in and oxygen they could start to rally and bring things back we're going to take a small little break in this break i encourage you to do two things one i want you to hit exclamation point prize pool we are at 11 234 dollars and 20 cents if we hit 12 000 today grubby will reveal a little bit more of the song he's gonna sing for all of you we already know it's something about illidan we don't know much more beyond that so if we hit 12k we'll find out a little bit more if we hit 15k that is when we will actually get the unlocked grubby song so we got we got a little bit of a road to go there exclamation point don't uh prize pool and chat to donate over on the maturino and the second thing i want you to do in this break is hit exclamation point awards we are doing another award show for heroes ccl season three it's gonna be taking place on january 29th at our normal hero ccl start time and there are many categories for you to all vote on i highly encourage you to hit that command hit that link and be able to get some voting in in this short little break as i said we'll be back in a few minutes with more hero ccl presented by wisdom welcome back ladies and gentlemen to hero ccl we are in the midst of our first best of five of the day and it's going to be oxygen esports versus storm esports and we're gonna be seeing if oxygen can keep up with storm esports as we are gonna get ready for our third map of the day of course my name is muhammad joined by grubby and justin and uh as always i'd like to ask what you guys got up to in the break so really quickly justin what'd you get what did you do uh i got some coffee oh nice scrubby yeah uh i recorded a youtube intro for tonight's video the ev the the man who never stops he he streams right before ccl's he's on ccl he streams after ccl i don't think he actually sleeps grubby might be a robot but with that theory that aside maybe i'll put my tinfoil away let's go ahead and find out where we're gonna go to for map number three because this series could conclude on this third map and it's going to be towers of doom chosen by storm esports as the members of oxygen have wanted first pick priority once again and for anyone that wants the stats for it the members of oxygen currently sit zero and three so they are winless on this map three losses the side of storm esports they got a 50 win rate two wins two losses some really cool action coming out right now and i have to say grubby justin this is my favorite map in here's a storm like there's there's a lot of maps in our pool i think black hearts face fun i miss haunted minds i love towers of doom i just like the way that it plays the giraffe styles it there's so much that can be done here and i want to start picking your brain justing as a former draft lead for wild heart or i guess the drafter what what would you kind of be leaning into for a towers of doom draft or maybe prioritizing so i like the way that oxygen is going off the bat with the volaban paula has been quite crucial to storm in their last two comps it's very obvious that they like to run this death ball type of comp and valla just provides that single target hyper carry damage that you need the most also storm banning out the stitches i think is smart i definitely think oxygen would be looking to pick that up had they not banned that i would say that this is stitches best map overall it's just really really scary to rotate between the fort's mid mid and bottom with the stitches there's just so many walls to hook through so that's a good good bands coming out from both teams i i would like to see oxygen try to kind of punish this uh double support style composition that storm is so apt to run they haven't had the greatest tools to do that in the past i mentioned in the previous game that if nasmaz went the damage reduction build on urel that might have done a lot better and maybe looking to pick some tools like that either prioritizing the blaze with the spell power or attack speed slows prioritizing uh maybe the rhaegar with the totem now we do see the stukov being picked up by heavy and you can't be mad at a heavy steukov and it can go into pretty much anything so i'm expecting the rhaegar to be likely picked up by storm but they don't need to bbj really comfortable on the lucio so it might look to just save their support pick or not they actually just prioritize the brightwing over either of them so just getting a monopoly on the globals right away exactly you you took it you took the idea right up my mind they could go i was i'm dumb i didn't realize that the fall set was already banned out so i was like they could go falsetto and just more globals but i really like the dahaka for this map grubby any thoughts on the draft so far global orientation for storm nothing wrong with that always works um so far i think everything is really sensible this is where we're gonna see if oxygen reveals their hand again a little bit similar to last game where they also opened with healer and then the tank and the dps but i'd argue that murden is a bit more of a generalist tank it doesn't really push you in any particular direction much less like a variant that really shows where you're going and arguably li ming i think ming is a situational pick that you only really see coming out early on battlefield of eternity and even then it feels a little risky to show it anywhere before the final slot junkrat and merdin are a lot more general so i think oxygen is definitely learning from not revealing their intent too early there's also a lot of really cool poke factors between the stuka lurking arm junkrat's basic abilities and in general and then murder in storm bolts as well and his ability to just be able to kind of walk in or dwarf toss in and kind of be able to live in the enemy backline especially with the dwarf block charges at level 1 if picked up but as we get through some more bands here gotta get your uh your expectations for these teams or maybe the future of this draft justing material i think the zeratul ban was probably a big mistake i'm oh i guess not i was expecting that storm would be looking to try to continue doing that death ball comp and maybe just pick up the tyrial tracer that's something that was very prevalent in weeks prior and then kind of has fallen off recently i'm not going that i think is a little strange they are going the mephisto which is almost a deny pick against oxygen and there's the avasamura so this is even though this is the weirdest draft from oxygen i think this looks like their strongest draft so far in the series especially considering that what they're going against on the side of storm isn't their traditional death ball style it's much more combo based which they don't tend to do quite as well with i'm curious um as we're getting gonna get this last pick i'm actually let me just start right back to you justin what would you last pick to counter this samurai i know there's like a second or two here but i still want to get your thoughts in theory maya of course he knows oh so smart yeah now the maya is a little weird i'm not sure if it's actually the best pick they could have had here i think something that can either provide um physical armor or i mean there's not a lot left for that either because they already picked the bright wing i think storm's comp while it is relatively strong it's a little bit risky and it doesn't really play into their playstyle all that well they're not going to be able to play the same as they did the previous two games where everyone's just kind of passively hitting the same target they're really going to need perfect coordination and execution to combo off of lauber with the mayav with what is likely going to be a cage and to just combo from mephisto with the durants this is the first draft where i'd say oxygen both stylistically between the two teams as well as just on paper has a better draft the muradin is the best tank uh with this abathur type of composition junkrat is the best ranged with it you can kind of permanently push your waves out he is that s-tier goalie like i like to call it where you can't really siege into the lane that he's in it creates this awkward situation where as long as the junkrat is in the lane that's trying to be pushed you can't really push there they also don't have anything on the side of storm esports like a grey main to push with an uber act they have the mephisto so they're very spell damage heavy they're not really siege heavy it's kind of difficult for them to siege so this is the first game where i'm really feeling oxygen's draft they do play the abbot abba samuro quite a lot that's something that they're really known for nasmaz especially known for his samuro and they pretty much got all of the perfect picks to go alongside it they have the stookov best support junkrat best range murden best tank so if oxygen is going to make their stand and start up a reverse sweep this is where it'll happen oh let's see if that's going to be the case just as we are loaded on in and thank you as always for the breakdown and explanation of such deep dive and draft theories we got oxygen tournament not tournament ccl life on the line on towers of doom hears if oxygen loses they're out storm esports moves on up against diamond hands later on today but let's get into the game right now traded on the abathur nazmus on the samurai heavy on the stoke-off modder on the junkrat and vince on the muradin over in the red looking to close it out in a quick 3-0 we got bbj on the right wing de clause on the dahaka lobber on the new break ivy things on the mayav russo and the mephisto that's gonna be your storm esports draft i uh honestly grubby i'm i'm i agree with justin so much that i'm just like man i love oxygen's draft but that momentum the the playstyle from storm today they came with just fire and fury and i'm i'm gonna call this a storm esports win i don't want three o's today but i feel like it could be it's very close i like i would put this as the closest game so far draft wise but we have to see how the execution really comes into play but what do you think here gravity because i think you're blown away by my prediction yeah i'm i'm in shock that uh you would go against directly against justin's prediction here but i you know i think you've got a thing here because storm did look fairly dominant in the games they have 33 against 11 takedowns over the entire series so far those stats don't lie then again i'm also thinking like yeah i think that's a great draft from oxygen esports and maiev i'm of two minds about it my f excels in pvp damage against multiple bodies avatar means there are fewer bodies so then i'm like i don't get it but then there are clones to stack off as well to get her combos her fan of knives more off and of course the extra thing is containment disc maiev is not just a fan of knifer she's also a jointer she's also a wave clearer with noise memento let me see if she grabbed that she did she's a cam taker and uh it's that containment disc and together with the new barrack maiev and the nubrak can shut down and remove two bodies from the field yup and there's only four to begin with every now and then there may be a copy but remember this is oxygen they can go for monstrosity they've done it so often before though i think it is going to be copy especially with sam yeah but still you can remove two of those bodies and that's going to be a great tool for storm to have really advantageous fights though in theory that does hurt mephisto because he's going to get fewer pvp cdrs as well lover tries to go on moderate right there a little bit of skull missile poke from rutzo as well the camp and bottom lane is trying to be walked in vince starting to create some space with the help of the samurai and junkrat as well it's just looking at looking at how this fight is setting up lauber's a little far forward he is not gigafine and he is going to be going down that's going to be first blood to the side of oxygen as vince steps forward looking for the kill onto iv kings and is not able to do so actually turns around into rutso will drop his origin uh see excuse me we'll use the statement fist of brightwing comes in with the phase shift but i feel like there was like healing reduction or something right there because it just did not seem like it gave much of any healing to the uh mephisto and maybe simultaneously doing some damage uh and that kind of compensated for it yeah and of course it doesn't have to shield from level seven yet it was nerfed a little bit all things that can maybe influence our perception there but oxygen after the first two kills in the game maybe so far oh my god that was real close really really close 62 health bbj got the healing tick just in time ah man things things are definitely heating up on towers of doom because oxygen as i mentioned they do not want to get knocked out in a 3-0 they do not want to end their ccl run just yet vince goes in for the dwarf toss he doesn't have the range the uh structure of the wall kind of gets in the way but he rounds the corner hits the he hits the storm bolt onto bbj bbj doesn't have any sort of blink heal just yet and that is abathur with the snipe kill heavy so low fan of knives gets the kill onto the junk rat heavy has to back away is there a burro charge available for love or he's got the in pail off a cooldown burro charge just now coming off of cooldown nasmus is the target and do we have a burro charge over the wall i love what laubert just did he actually stayed around one of the clones expecting nasmus to ju double back and lauber's so invested in the chase but has to stop because the new priority is the camp heavy still low samuro known to have to hearth back but keep in mind samara can kinda trick uh how quickly he can get from the core back onto the battlefield with a little shift cueing of abilities exactly if you press q and then shift d on one of your images the very same frame that you port back and where blizzard has coded it so that your image will actually despawn to prevent exactly this you will actually port to your image back to lane with that bonus 500 plus heal from the core that you get in that small little frame of instance that you are there so it's a yeah it's a hearthstone trick that allows sam to heal at the core and still be back into the lane provided his images don't die yes especially pre-level 10 yeah that is a bit harder to control depends where you drop them and if an opponent is actually able to do enough damage on them so let's look at the situation three to one and kills nine to eight in levels heavy thinks with the umbral bind on merlin he waits walks along with it jumps away samara now applying pressure and being a real bit of a nuisance there for the backline of storm in the meantime this is a 4v5 avatar is picking up xp in the top lane it's little itty bits but it can still be a bit of help however overall oxygen decides they are not going to go full all in they don't have copy yet uh for evolution on abathur so a 4v5 even with symbiote is not something they want to jeopardize their lives for laughter finds a new target into vince who does get pulled back and by the umbral bind but it's not going to be enough for a kill do you want to talk about some of these talents here in just a second as nasmus will drop some clones in bottom and immediately gets his wind walk out we have that level seven dirty trickster once again for moderate you can know this by one you can see the talent at level seven but two you have the visual indicator i always like to talk about this in case you might have missed it yesterday or previous weekends when i've talked about it that little smile means that junkrat has the dirty trickster off of cooldown and it has a 12 second cooldown once it's triggered by a stun or even junkrat dropping below 50 hp and there's a lot of stuns umbral binds have poles you have the drag from dahaka you have burrow charge impale polymorph you got a lot of stuff that can really trigger this and then also the burst stability from the side of storm esports will trigger that as well i've seen in the past i was actually casting a game where uh someone double backed into a team fight because they were getting collapsed as the junk rat and had dirty trickster and they died but they actually took down two enemies with them because it was such a dive heavy uh moment and they were already so low so you can actually play around and trick enemy heroes i don't expect this from storm to to get tricked by that but either way just little cool things that we can note with that as our 10 talenteers have come acro have come up and it's really nothing out of the ordinary and as grubby had mentioned earlier it's gonna be that containment disc for them i have yeah isolation cocoon and containment disc oxygen is gonna be like are you guys an energy savings company because that's a lot of isolation well the isolation does come out on to heavy immediately on that snook off we do have a containment that's going on tomorrow but there's gonna be a lot of damage and the isolation connecting onto vince who does have the dwarf toss at the end he did pop the avatar as well the re-engagement comes out into the side of storm esports you are getting a little bit low here russo dives in with the shade of mephisto concussion mine of junkrat will not connect we do have ib tings trying to pull some people around vince getting a little bit low here draided might be the target but dre to keep in mind that's an abathur clone and that is going to be a copy of heavy going down but the real heavy is oh i thought he was going to get picked up i thought the durians of fate would connect nasmus is getting pinged because they're like this is the real samuro maybe we can get a kill onto him as nasmus is trying to back away polymorphed you can't swap clones and a kill or two go over the side of storm esports as well as the channel on the salter containment disc misses there as ivy things tried to set up an additional kill that was tomorrow one versus five he would have received more help from his team but heavy was half-life madara 20 vince was about 20 perhaps it was time for samara to pull back a bit perhaps he overestimated his own ability to escape danger against such a star-studded cast of five sets of eyes looking at him essentially and storm did take him down though it did take a while so who knows there another four shots go over for the size of storm esports they have a little lead but it's never over yet on towers of doom it's uh it's very much about the state of the game and the levels that you have not so much about the core hp though that starts to matter more and more as you get closer to zero percent health containment disc on so lobber rip tire is going to be attempted but it has to be triggered early because the burrow charge from lauber excuse me i contain discontents my apologies either way draided takes a bit of damage once again draided is the abathur so it's a clone of of uh stuke-off so we're getting double stew coughs uh to just constantly throw out healing pathogens which i think is a really cool uh combo right there having a support healer composition but then you kind of have a double healer composition for a couple fights makes this side of oxygen a little bit more sustainy um and it is it is really really nice back and forth right now and since we have the double ultraface and even talenteers maybe do you want to get in some comms grubby yeah let's hear from oxygen uh i'm gonna hold that thought actually because i don't want to jump into oxygen if they're about to lose the fight they didn't they did oh i'm taking way too long i'm sorry oh we'll jump into them maybe a little bit later because the fight is still breaking out right now that's a lot of damage onto vince and we have dahaka still getting hit with the storm boat ivy tings comes in with the spirit of vengeance nasmus is having to use the sakuchi to be able to jump away my apology sorry i juked on that one oh all good all good it was a lot of things enveloping on the ground a situation very rapidly as storm now grabs double altar fantastic job we've been talking a lot about the potential of the draft of oxygen but it's storm it keeps coming out ahead over and over and they're a little bit down on xp brightwing and the hakka are kind of trying to fix that with their global soak it is impressive how oxygen is just a bit ahead in that xp they do have that one extra kill should not be forgotten but over and over storm is getting these alters despite losing out in most other aspects buildings exp kills they get altar after altar and that's going to create a lot of freedom and breathing space in some of the decision making as it gets down to the nitty-gritty we'll have 16 talents here soon for both sides a big impact for both teams as we will also have a triple alter phase you can already see that kind of grayed out on our map a little bit you have the top left and right which is a standard and then the bottom which is going to be doesn't look like it's any sort of funneling or control just yet i do want to note that abathur did go mule at level seven which is going to be a great way to mitigate some of these sappers that are being forced in constantly through bottom lane and i think that's something that we haven't really talked about much when it comes to the experience is just how many camps we constantly are seeing storm esports grab it's not that much experience gain over the side of oxygen it's 120 on the side of oxygen to the 972 but that is still closing the gap that abathur is constantly forming the little bit of experience from earlier actually hold on let me look really quickly um hero kills are actually really close there's only a 200 difference uh that 200 being in favor of the side of oxygen but now bbj has to try and back away is gonna be able to get the blink heel over to day quasa but man nasmus is just microwaving these clones so very well bbj has to blink over to a minion to completely disengage but it might have been a little bit of a stall oh good catching bottom lane from the observer because i wasn't even looking at the mini map that's a new brake going down and we should see eight shots into the side of storm only four raining into the side of oxygen yeah just as a general heads up to people if you're looking to not die to stukov's arm first of all good luck with that okay but also uh raw health works better than activatable clickables so if you rely on a shield like johanna or an uberack or an escape like an uberac or muradin that's not going to be as useful as just a raw giant health pool since you can't use any abilities when you're inside that lurking arm and that makes anubarak particularly vulnerable if stukov can get his talents into a new rock at all and have that combo that's 70 slow silence already lavra has fallen multiple times to that total of two times in fact it's four to two and kills we 17 up on both sides a little more experience to the side of oxygen esports as the boss is going to be called here the haka is anchoring in the bush vince comes in on the other side bush junkrat kind of announces his arrival massive chef puts the dahaka right next to merton there's going to be a cocoon on to murder and right away and it looks like storm esports kind of want to back off of this point vince is already jumping back onto this containment disk will be used buys a few moments concussion mine does split a few enemies away but it's not gonna be enough isolation will be connecting onto the murder as well the lurking arm on the point the channel comes through for storm esports they are gonna find four more shots in the side of oxygen and oxygen are gonna back away it's a little bit of a chase on the lobber is the event oh blob or bud what are you doing there maybe he's a bit of scouting where robert that one i wish we were in comps for that one i really wish i could have heard what lover was saying right there yeah exactly uh but uh well wow storm manages to get the uh boss during during such heavy pressure do you end up losing one for it and because the next alter is top left top right most likely that seven second disparity between anub'arak's return the spawning of the altar is not gonna cost them four points this looks like under normal circumstances it would be a 50 50 split between the two teams here oxygen does continue to build up their bonus experience they're going to interrupt their quasi does look like they will try to be a bit of a bird i can't imagine this is going to be a full-blown effort to do grand larceny here still that altar we got three members of oxygen floating around brightwing speaking of of characters floating is in bottom lane right now checking really quickly has the phase shift available lauber back in the mix as well from death we have a solid level lead to the side of oxygen but no talent to your advantage for the time being just heroic scaling from that level ivy tings looking for a target there's going to be murden coming in with a storm boat they quasi going for the channel murden is going to set up the kill into the anubrac the channel does come through during the fate will be utilized connecting onto samuro and vince actually jumps into the durians of hate but rutzo cannot get enough damage to get a kill and it is just going to be lobber sacrificing himself for the channel on the altar eight to twenty in core hp but it's not over until the raven lord or the grave keeper fall and russo gonna get with the cleanse gets used utilizes the shade of memphis to buy some time jumps or floats nearby his keep to make sure that he's safe nasmus very low in the samara does have that sakuchi for his wind walk but it doesn't matter russo wants the kill he's not going to have enough raw damage oh no the shade of mephisto is kind of a target point russo should go down great lurking arm good follow-up and that is going to be a double kill rip tire does come out traded sorry i i i i saw a name and i was like oh it's draided okay whoa vince nice nice overall quad penta pentakill no maybe well he's not gone yet maybe no but that was some sick kills and sick concussive minds from moderate jiminy jilliker's radioactive man because he anticipated of course that mephisto returned he had the position in the range to pop the concussive under mephisto and then that kill on my f as well great inner play between vince and manora there of course abby always there to follow up with his arm great place by oxygen and despite losing many you know this is kind of a textbook abathur comeback style in tires of doom you lose many of the altars but you build up a big experience lead you pretty much start to nab it back at the level 20 plus mark where you're down in single digit core hp unfortunate wow oxygen is riding that wave of momentum and winning there's only a single altar to basically uh benefit from had this been double or tripled this could be like game ending almost but now it's only a single altar they do control many of the bell towers that's six shots eight to fourteen level 20 will be reached for storm so they can start to fight back and they are getting up and atom at the side of uh oxygen on this map number three let's see let's see what you did there uh 20 though is is going to be slowly worked in for by the dahaka brightwing as well who are splitting right now in bottom lane this is going to be a defense to try and stop six sappers from coming in vince looking to be able to do something right here some fan of knives coming out we do have the mephisto level 20. he is going to be able to utilize the uh the double double lightning nova there we go that's the word for it uh when he just oh wait hold on turns of hate will be coming out there's a lot of damage going out onto one character it's gonna be the junkrat moderator gets a burst heal from heavy there's gonna could be a containment disk on muradin a cocoon on to the junkrat vince pops the avatar just in time bbj gets a blink heel away the concussion minds are controlling this fight matara very very low as the healing will come through for this murder he did go for that third win at level one for the extra threshold and quicker healing but man this bottom lane was well defended by the side of storm esports losing no core hp 8 to 14 in that core and storm quickly moves into mid lane the next phase is oh this is really good for the side of oxygen to try and play into this almost getting some kills as the next ultra phase is going to be spawning top left and right and i think they have to go i think they have to go and try and play into this immediately on the side of uh storm esports man this was uh really sick by storm to defend and stop all six zappers but also loving the repeated stuke of copies yeah from uh from mother uh not matter from um from traded here to constantly give extra healing such a survivable team all right let's see a new brake dropping real low lower whoa bbj's healing pops and comes through one altar is already channeled that's five shots if somehow oxygen is able to rest away control of this most difficult to conquer alters then oxygen would be off to a great position to end the game because they would then have access to the boss as well and five plus four is still nine let's see how this goes good caster math crappy really oh good endurance of hate right there lurking arm underneath there's gonna be some chunking and defense but meanwhile in the back line actually meanwhile somewhere there's gonna be killing to brightwing moderate so very low once again and the new breath goes down this is just everything oxygen wants the methisto's gonna go down to the hard carry of samurai and i believe ladies and gentlemen we are not done with this series just yet because grubby in his perfect math he is going to be able to explain well he's already explained that it's going to be oxygen with the channel boss is already started by modera and i think we're seeing why the junk rat has been banned out 16 times by the side of storm esports because it does not look like this is a character they ever want to play against and i don't expect to see a junkrat in map number four but good on oxygen to reel it back in and they will break my my expectations muradin dies to us but either way it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it's going to be the members of oxygen putting one up on the board and the series ladies and gentlemen is not over just yet stormy sports they have to win one side of oxygen they gotta win two more maps but we gotta get justin in here who can explain how everything went so perfectly well for oxygen so the early game it was kind of weird oxygen gets the first two of three caps and then they don't get another single alter until level 16 because that's really when their team comp comes online typically with this type of composition with abathur you have your samurai just pushing top a lot that wasn't really how this game was going there was just a lot of fighting happening bot lane with in just 5v5s from both teams you had the samuro who was just sitting bottom quite a bit not really looking for any split push early and you had the haka doing sort of the same thing just to counter the samuro and they were definitely oxygen was definitely okay with trading shots for experience which is what we saw they got a ok xp lead around level 16 that was when they started to kind of pull ahead but they were really down in shots at level 16 it was 16 to 24 shots before that it was 20 to 32 when they had just had a a moment from the first altar to when they hit level 16 where they didn't get a single shot that entire time so it was it was a waiting game for oxygen they had to be really patient but you could tell that things really come online for them once they do hit that level 16. until then they're just trying to lose as little as possible and they did a pretty good job at that they have junkrat permanently defending bottom so storm esports doesn't really have anywhere to push the turret fort dive down here deep dive on this bot uh port was really the the moment where oxygen broke broke ahead and was able to start snowballing the game um for real they got bot fort and midford off of this and then they're able to just really take control of the entire map and vince on the murden was pretty much invincible which is to be expected when you're going against a mephisto and a mayav there's not any single auto attack based hero to really kill the murden so vince got a lot of value and nasmaz host level 16 was just ridiculous with what he was able to pull off he was constantly threatening the backline it didn't seem like there was a really good response for it in the early game they were using both isolation and containment disc just to kind of stop the murder from existing but once you get to level 16 and on it's a lot harder to do that because if you do do that you're not really winning the fight still because uh you're gonna have samuro just in your back line and you're gonna have used all of your kind of control tools so they trade xp for shots early game they do it properly level 20. it's nearly impossible level 16 things get hard for storm but at level 20 there's almost no winning the game you have madara with the huge grenades at level 20 you have the samuro where all of his clones are super tanky i thought it was kind of interesting to see that oxygen was cloning draided or that draided was cloning um heavy on stukov in all the fights that was kind of interesting stukov does have a really strong base kit just because of his auto attacks being so strong that on top of the um clone uh value where you get the bonus apad it's really good for him being able to clone the stukov and have the active on the d that he can heal everyone up with so they definitely had a strategy in mind and it was a little shaky through the early to mid game but they definitely pulled it off and excited to see if oxygen has any more tricks up their sleeves like this going forward this is where you got to pull all the tricks you you got to take your bag of tricks put it right next to your keyboard and just start pulling things out because it is our gauntlet bracket you lose this and that is your placement basically the team that loses this best of five series will be sixth in the standings for hero ccl and that is where they will end their season the winner of this series is gonna go on to face diamond hands a little bit later on today and another best of five diamond hands is the last gatekeeper before the double elimination and the winner up against diamond hands or if diamond hands wins will then go into the double elimination bracket up against 30k next weekend and we'll get into all that a little bit later as well because we are gonna get ready for our fourth map in this series really really exciting stuff i'm glad to see oxygen really kind of bringing it back on that tower as a doom game and i have to like we don't talk about it all the time but i have to say nasmus is probably my mvp from that game because between the crushing blows and the press the attack those two talents synergize so well and we could see it in moments through the top lane where even dahaka was just trying to like get in the way a little bit to create a little bit of space and some gapping for brightwing bbj it was still nasmus just constantly harassing the brightwing and we even saw it at the end of the game where there was just a random brightwing kill at the start of that that fight because nasmus just knew how to be such a everywhere character with this samara feels very much like uh last season where we'd see kieran zeratu it'd be like oh you know all of a sudden there's just a dead hero because kira just happened to just stick on top of them so really really really exciting stuff so far in our first best of five of the day and this is probably what i was expecting from these matches i wasn't expecting any three o's i'm liking that oxygen are rallying and we could potentially see that game number five yeah this is our first uh playoffs match of the of this month that is in the 3-0 so far and you know it was the best draft yet it looked actually like storm was going to maybe be a level behind but half that not matter because of the core hp lead that they had built up they were able to zone out the members of oxygen repeatedly with a great formation to grab alter after altar after alpha but somewhere it went wrong and what surprised me most is how oxygen were able to protect one another i've never seen touch of survivable junkrat that would drop to like life and then stay alive between the symbiote stukov's healing the zoning the cc that meridian or stukov would do and then that second stukov coming in it was really hard to kill anyone a little bit of an issue too of course with the uh draft of a storm where they had like uh justin said not as much of a let's roll and and do a death ball and pick them off one by one with sustained damage was a bit more technical more mage but more aoe damage maybe it doesn't suit him that much like justin said let's see what happens next on this next map that we are now ready to reveal to you what it's gonna be yeah we know where we're gonna head into and it's going to be the members of storm esports opting for first priority as the losing team so oxygen will have to choose the map and it is going to be the map choice of curse hollow record wise oxygen sits three and one three wins one loss and the side of storm esports they sit three and two three wins two losses as we get into the curse hollow map curious jesting do we see priority on the samuro for the sight of oxygen if they're able to get it i definitely think we see that i'm expecting that storm knowing that this is a big map and having the two smaller maps already kind of removed from the pool from storm getting the winds on them that storm is gonna know something is up coming to cursed hollow and this is a map where there's a lot of uh weird macro tools available we see the vikings already being banned out samuro is that other strategy it's not likely that they would go samurai without the abathur so heads-up bands from storm esports they just want to play a nice clean normal game of years of the storm they don't want to have any of the shenanigans with vikings and avatar so good bands but we'll see if that means that oxygen does play standard and just get a better standard draft because of these basically free bands on things that otherwise just wouldn't be banned out do you like the targeting on to ibiting's valla here as well as lobbers joanna those are really really nice heads-up bands as oh man springy joining us for our fourth map draft thank you so much springy i'm sure spring is a you know let me let me ask this really quickly justin let me just derail the entire draft uh what's springy's favorite map does this springy have a favorite map by any means uh i have to ask her all right um she's probably uh see what would she like she might like um does she like spiders no he likes like eating spiders i guess so yeah maybe she does like doom oh there you go on spiders down well is this uh quite usual for for cats to seek uh affection this often she seems like a absolutely wonderful cat i always see videos of cats like swiping at their owner's faces and stuff she actually adores you it's so cool yeah sometimes she i mean sometimes she's still kind of kind of wild but she's just really clingy he's yeah he's a little needy needy cat awesome she must still be on the wild heart uh roster at that point but let's start let's not talk about the curse hollow draft because i'm a little surprised to hear grubby that we're seeing a junkrat come on through this draft i know that we ban out vikings and abathur but they don't grab the junkrat themselves on storm yeah matara had hundred thousand damage of hero damage almost double of anyone else in that game more than that his concussives were incredible we're getting both the heavy and the moderate back on the hero that they just won with at the end of the day everyone's dangerous and storm decided it was abathur with four hero kills and equaling anyone else's hero damage beside junkrat that was the biggest problem it's like justin said they want to make sure that it's just a straight up game albeit with storm having the global so not exactly straight up they're still macro right but not one of the unfair macro tools like abathur or vikings they think that even the danger and the strength that mataran heavy displayed should not be enough compared to what abathur could bring especially on another map which is amateur's top map first hollow tires of doom his best two maps maybe if it goes wrong again you can skip the avatar band next map and then deal with the junkrat or destructo that is really scary j bl blaze jet propulsion diablo shadow charge overpower stuke off with some lurking arms junk rat shattering teeth all that good stuff this is looking like a very strong draft for oxygen adjusting yeah the comp is definitely really strong in 5v5s i would expect this might be the game where storm does go that terial route i'm not sure if they would have the option to run it with tracer now into diablo it's historically not the greatest matchup you don't really have any good targets right now for it so they opt to go okay that makes more sense they opt to go with the tychus so they have something some way to deal with the diablo and the blaze and murden for lauber i really like that a lot i think muradin in general is just extremely underrated as a tank um i think that over time we'll start seeing a higher priority on to murden just in general i think he's kind of a safer version of the diablo but we do get the medivh that's uh springy's favorite hero because he turns into a bird and oxygen plays it quite well that is their trick that's left for this game the diablo medivh super scary especially into tychus it kind of completely uh reverses that match up where typically i kiss is a good match up into diablo but when you have the protect it's very telegraphed when tychus is using his minigun it's very easy to just protect the entire thing so i really like the medivh being picked up on the side of oxygen i'm expecting we'll see dreided on it braided is one of the best medivhs in the world he has been for quite a while so i'm i'm excited to see drayton pulling out the medivh something that he can really thrive on um he he's a a player great it is that i played medivh with so he's got some some experience there he's been bullied a bit and calms so he's he's trained he's he's he's up to my standards for medivh play for playing with me so oh yeah he's he's good he's good at medivh so we we should be in for a treat here with them having the snookov as well that complements it very well as well as the junkrat the only real concern i'm seeing here is that the side of storm esports with muradin and dahaka might be a little bit too tanky even for oxygen to kill that isn't the worst problem to have when you have a medivh they can kind of play it out last but they might get out macroed a bit as well with the falsetto and dahaka on the side of storm esports and overall storm esports did draft a bit of a deathball style this game much unlike the last game and that's really where they where they thrive so we'll see if they're able to make it work well we'll see how things unfold here on cursed hollow justin thank you for the breakdown as always cause we got oxygen in the blue nasmus on the blaze moderate on the junkrat vince on the diablo traded to play the medivh and heavy on the stook off over in the red looking at storm esports we got bbj and the lucio ivy tings on the fallstead day claws on the on the dahaka labrador play muradin and russo on the tikus oh grubby it's always hard to vote against a medivh but i think you already know where i'm going with this it's going to be i'm thinking it's stormy sports here lobber muradin burning rage at level 13 or bronzebeard rage at level 13 is is a very critical talent i've seen it on his streams where he's like oh i get 13 and i heard carrie and and it is very true often so uh i i like the storm esports direction i think they can scale really well the medivh is absolutely terrifying we'll have to see how things unfold what are your thoughts for this curse hollow draft and uh maybe your expectations for the game yeah dude just amazing amazing amazing drafts both sides really really incredible i'm thinking i'm loving the diablo medivh synergy the most i'm gonna go with the 2-2 score here oh in the two teams bbj [Music] yeah goodbye okay well unfortunately first blood goes over the side of uh oxygen and uh um here's your prediction it's over no i know i know i i you know what i was actually looking back at my notebook before i was doing stats for this weekend and i and i recalled like uh before the break that i changed my prediction like right at the start of a game and then that team lost so i'm you know what i'm not gonna change my predictions i'm gonna stick with my with what i've said but i i do got to get your thoughts here grubby on um just what you what what just thoughts in general what are you thinking about yeah yeah i i think uh i'm uh i'm just kind of seeing how it unfolds you got all the standard uh camps here you always see the siege camp cap first for the team that doesn't have the quote-unquote good siege camp location because that siege camp goes to the same location as the tributes location and that means it's not a difficult decision where to go and defend they're in the same place and then the team that has the good location of siege camp they take it second you can either take it at the two-minute mark like now and create an imbalance earlier already or you can really try to sync it up with that tribute either way it's usually oxygen that's going to be giving up that second tree that first tribute because of that siege camp location that's just the way that the map rngs one out of three tributes worth giving up and you see where you take it from there so in my mind oxygen gives up the first tribute but it doesn't have to be that way depending on exactly how it goes we'll see well we will see rutzo actually oh i thought russo was gonna go grab the camp but maybe just checking to see if that camp's invaded either way medivh's sitting at four stacks diablo 29 on a souls falstad with 12 out of the initial 30 now the level one for falstad is uncapped but you get a nice boost of damage by 15 at that 30 mark so you actually go from 15 to 30 and then you continue to scale by 0.5 per stack i'm looking around as well we do have that in the rhythm for the tychus and also last to note that zahaka does have the enhanced agility at level one as lauber throws out a stormboat he does have the third wind at level once that's gonna allow him to have a higher threshold for healing as well as a faster self-healing from his passive as you just saw it activate right there but seven's looming lauber looking for a flank will he check the bush doesn't mean that's amazing right now that's a big combo there on lower library getting away with that bonus movement sweet from bbj there's a drag drawing mostly for defense even i would say making sure that library doesn't get shadow charged not around with the channel oh nice grenade by rudzo getting the interrupt the siege camp actually never got taken by storm yeah they prefer to push with the bruising cap mitts instead of taking that siege camp and so they never created that imbalance that i foreshadowed russo getting pushed around but he's got some healing over time the trap will connect onto dahaka concussion mine will displace him as well he gets the burrow under the ground he also pops his essence he did go lurker strain de quasa at level four so he's got quite a few things with that one but here's a drag protection diablo could get through the portal if he's able to tap the portal and diablo goes down that'll be first blood for the side of storm esports falstad flies on in tried to get the concussion mind from junkrat but the channel comes through from bbj first tribute also to the side of our storm esports crew a sick killer on diablo using displacement to keep him away from the safety of the portal all started with that de quasa drag tongue meanwhile we did have blaze taking about 20 of the health off the bottom ford not entirely without some thing to show for after that tribute engagement is oxygen but uh yeah they will have to figure out how to get the next tribute this tribute is fairly well positioned for oxygen virtually impossible to steal for storm without some kind of takedowns and they follow each other in rapid succession has been announced 25 seconds siege camp being taken by storm a little bit out of the way of that somewhat mid of the lane is tribute that could be an issue for oxygen with that siege camp coming in love we're having to dwarf toss away as i think vince did uh kind of say hello with a little bit of overpower and uh shadow charge potential or maybe they just saw each other in the bush regardless to haka i did look he's got 13 seconds on his brushstroke right now i don't know if lauber is feigning like oh my team's right behind me we're going to step in yeah it was just kind of one of those things because the rest of his team is no we're even near lobber they're going to be up on this boston top lane the hawker continue to push out bottom to get experience and push towards tens and i'm liking so far what we've seen so far the firestomp build for the diablo pretty standards across the board i'm not seeing anything that's like ooh that's something big to know what is to note though auburn now has the uh like stitches he hit level 10 and so the storm bolt now has the piercing value cooldown reduction and uh as i said level 13 should be big for the murder but actually let's talk about one oddity here robbie maker playmaker lauber wants to make some plays here so haymaker more displacement against medivh's portals burden saying you guys have such reach with portal that most likely you're not gonna play kill the tank therefore i don't need to take avatar it's better to take more peel get you away from my back line and also to disrupt more portal usage cool thing about haymaker although the impact is single target anyone that you ball with that bowling ball also gets thrown about like a set of pins so if you cast it in the correct direction you can disrupt several people from trying to use a medivh portal and this might just be what it takes there's plenty of tools for storm to stop portal usage mighty gas sound wave now haymaker isolation and the grenade though storm does have good counter play tools lobbers did you see that bbj would have shadowed got a shadow charged and killed and they even pinged him in appreciation of that did you see that it was cool just the the sound wave perfectly time it's it's things like that it's not easy to do it looks easy but you got you got to be able to have the intuition to be able to do that but here comes nasmus big jeff republishing redstone bbj getting very low mediva 20 stacks right now moderate going for the channel one to one in our uh channels as we do have merida needing to get the high five haymaker was used right there 40 second cooldown grenade from tychus not stalling out modera but he's gonna stall stop for now massive shove from heavy will be able to push people back lobber getting very low diving getting dovan by vince there's gonna be the ley line seal the apocalypse i think there might have been a bit of a miss time on the apocalypse ley line steel combo and the commandeer odin will be used as we still can sit still continue to see this objective phase which is on the healthier side for storm being controlled by oxygen but murder and lauber trying to get in the back line ebj amping things up rutsso on that false dead looking excuse me um falsehood just looking to angle in with lobber as well a neutral macro situation so they're fighting willingly over this tribute merlin's dropping low on mana blaze there with that oh he doesn't use the arcane explosion because he went into the bunker wanted to limit damage on himself both teams about equal in terms of hp let's see which olds are available we got massive shelf coming back soon we've got isolation and probably several instances of high five available though lucio's dropping dangerously low in mana i don't know if storm can keep this up it's essentially into double support vince gets chunked a little bit there are some free stacks going over to both sides to draited and to ivy tings on these two heroes everything's hit the 33 stacks already so he's got that little bit of empowerment lobber lanes the storm bolt onto one the trickle experience is actually kind of working out for the side of oxygen as they are closing what the small gap had formed and uh oh this is a storm oh my god they actually get it i can't believe there was no interrupt from junkrat or anything and now storm they're gonna hightail it out of here falstad excuse me pushes into mid lane a little bit getting that experience moving to top immediately and this will close the gap to 13. for both teams realistically it's it's the experience should be 13s apiece yeah really close call for uh lucio bbj to get that channel there fire stop not not angled correctly to get the interrupt that is one tribute more going to storm esports the final tribute in the top left location who do you think that's a better position for oh absolutely in favor for oxygen esports they've got their well just above them still because the boss did not take down that keep it i i expect actually i expect them to get on the side of oxygen and maybe storm could just play the lanes right now instead of trying to make this fight they just clear out waves and maybe get their own lanes pushed out because there's camp and bottom camp in mid and a camp to clear through mid as well yeah make sense just have the hakka push with that siege camp in the south side maybe a few interrupts as a token delayed no you know what daca bros in misses the drag down okay takes so much damage but a good concussive gets the hacker off his back robert jumps in as well master chef will be there from the stuke off as well mater trying to throw some damage over the wall uh gust out from falstad that isolates the blaze and he gets dragged by the dahaka protection from medivh and nasmus gets away there's a ley line seal is there an apocalypse to follow yes the timing kind of works out right there but the commandeer owen was still put poking around the objective commandeer does not have much longer should fall soon heavy will be interrupted looks like lauber and ivy things will tap well they quasi trying to clear out the siege camp during all of this lauber has that bronzebeard rage and he goes in he's gonna get massive shoved immediately lucio in the back line trying to push people around dreaded has 27 stacks portals forward there's a lot of damage on to the dehock at the top of our screen nasmus gets some portaling around vince uses bbj to push back towards his side of the team nasmus isolated traded traded 30 stacks protection traded is gonna be the target can they get it he gets two stacks as he dies but that's still 30 stacks lost drag onto diablo he has full souls those souls are reset double kill to the side of storm objective phase should be here but moderate wants to lay out because there's only 20 seconds on the medivh diablo already back i think they have to give this a neat curse yeah there are more frank launcher cooldowns but he would expose himself to lovers engage great job by storm they also had a bit of a macro lead during all that siege camp didn't get that much done in the bottom but the remainder of the bruiser camp did some good damage on the midford now storm is gonna definitely be able to take down two fourths maybe three maybe even some keep damage really big there that kill on medivh to resetting his stacks and he doesn't have the 40q stacks and he doesn't get to have quite as much cooldown reduction on leyline seal from the level 16 ability why is blaze here sorry but i was literally like like blaze like nazmus like ran down into bottom lane i i guess maybe they were like oh we'll get you out with portal and stuff it just it seemed like he should have gotten punished by that but either way he's not going to get punished the objective phase still has 19 seconds storm esports they can dive underneath this leyline steel just connects onto one falsetto flies in murden with the flank focusing onto medivh there's a haymaker stuke off will go down portal is out but the portal is gonna be gusted away drada gets hit with an oh no that's another place right yes that is that is honestly because of nasmus i i i am not going to sugarcoat it a lot of members of oxygen went into bottom lane to save blaze they did save blaze but it's at the sacrifice of two a boss goes over to the side of storm esports storm esports they just got handed a free boss in a double kill yeah i'm looking at the one minute ago yeah during the where the stream is now yeah it was just like super deep proxy clearing i get that like the concept of it i get it you push out really deep somewhere so that instead of clearing like two waves you clear three to four waves and there'll never be a trouble again in that lane but it has a risk and it didn't seem like it was really being covered you hoped somehow that oxygen would keep storm busy in the mid then suddenly that safety net was gone this this was so that was so insanely well played and i do believe while these bosses are being pushed into lanes we actually have that double kill replay so we can take a look at that in greater detail grubby and let's take a look at it as we run it back okay so blaze was still trying to get away look at that falstad flight you can barrel roll gus any day of the week right like he can stop people from getting away and then there's that haymaker that actually hurt uh stukov quite a bit and pushed draded down the gust to follow it up uh portaling yeah basically isolating people away from portals that's what storm's comp is doing really well love what they put together they knew the potential medivh figure after they saw the diablo and they've got a lot of heroes they can deal with stuff like that nickel honest on the side of storm esports to just let that medivh go through but i looks like they're fine playing into medivh right now we do have the dahaka uh pushing up bottom lane with the siege giant camp he has the brush stock available if he needs to join into the team but i like what they're doing storm esports this reminds me of tim the spider queen with the two level lead we saw for storm and just day quasi doing split pushing managing the map and the rest of storm grouping up and as justin had said and alluded to in a lot of these games this deathball style it's working out well it's playing well for the side of storm and they're half half a level way from 20. and i really realistically i think oxygen they just give this it's not a curse it's only the first one for the side of storm because i like i know it's it's equal talent tears but i feel like storm's been winning out these fights it's one to five and you don't want to give that experience over immediately so i think you just clear waves and play it safe and that's what we're gonna see from oxygen for now yeah and how does like how does oxygen get back into this what did they get at level 20 they get a 50 armor bunker they can now also throw oil junkrat gets maybe bigger balls diablo he gets a blink with the the hellgate the apocalypse circle underneath medivh gets a moving ley line that's going to be a big one that's the first one that maybe tells you and i uh this could be this could be it this could be a comeback mechanic and stupid level 20 really don't make a big difference it's not that they're not good but they're not a comeback tool yeah nothing that he doesn't already have at level 1 anyway so it's all down to trade it i think it's fair to say well the 20s are already arrived for storm esports they're gonna make quick work of this keep front gate through the mid lane top lane keep is already very low but it's just storm opening up the map as best as they can as medivh is sitting at three stacks yes i did not stutter three stacks medivh has lost in if my math is right around 38 stacks in this game so he's uh technically he would be done right now if he just hasn't didn't die twice but uh that's that's that's here nor there grubby because slowly oxygen are closing that gap to 20 and it's not curtains just yet it it still is an uphill battle for the side of storm esports they can't just walk to core and end they need to get a couple kills or they need to get a curse and play off of that boss bottom available in one minute and 20 seconds it's basically after the next tribute has been taken it's definitely gonna be up already probably before even uh it's going to be available and the boston boss represents it keep represents maybe the game uh the top boss is a little bit slower it's 145 from now storm they don't want to go back and take that thing that they see on the mini-maps like oh there's a camp let's go for it they want to do a little bit of extra damage maybe try to find an opportunity to catch anyone out as i say that though they don't think that window is big enough they do fall back to the siege camp okay i thought they were actually just going to try to like do 10 damage on the keep got you got you i i i definitely agree with that a lot of the waves did get pushed into the side of oxygen esports so maybe it's that call like oh they're going to get 20 likes just let's just back away get some camps and get ready for the next objective because we all know it's gonna be in the top right of the map or actually this is the center point excuse me top center and uh maybe do we listen to some storm combs here maybe some oxygen what do you want grubby what flavor do you want we do we we we go storm storm it is matter gone on we can stop forever here with uh odin over the wall and stuff because we need to yeah i have a haymaker opportunities here with boxing right the bot's going to get a lot of value what about if we just give this and use sparrow and fly on bottom we owe them and then we just borrow and fly okay i think we can borrow both of them though yeah yeah yeah just have to make sure we don't get lined up that's everything i'll just stay off off you guys he doesn't get treated he doesn't get reset yeah if i play like this this is perfect this is actually what we want okay i'm gonna get uh keep now is my lay land maybe here okay yeah we don't wanna see oh wait there's a lot of places oh yeah we can fight we can fight we can fight we can fight they're giving i guess he missed this one they're not chasing me this is this is cursed for us though i'm coming back i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine august if it looks bad maybe it looks bad okay can we look diablo that's good that's good we can flank them with both the tanks here yeah oh i need others that's mother yes it'll be a little big guys it's huge as a huge hitch all right yeah that's where you leave it at one hp yeah i'm gonna you guys go i will just with him i'm not gonna kill him well i think your next button's gonna kill him so it's always fun to listen in on the comms for storm esports but they are going to shut down oxygen on map number four oh boy grubby i got the math for you the rough math the rough match because i didn't see one of the stack losses uh medivh lost 43 stacks yeah and oxygen lost three maps yeah perhaps even a bigger deal that might be a little bit bigger of a deal actually but uh justin justin are we missing anything here can you can you come on back and and break things down from curse hollow the the playmaker lauber popping off that game uh i really like to see that that he pivoted into the haymaker he knows that the damage from oxygen is super light that's something i touched on a bit is that they don't really have a ton of damage with blaze junkrat and medivh there's not a ton of follow-up to really go off of and that game was honestly just i think a lot of it just came down to lauber versus vince on the diablo and the muradin lauber took debatably the correct build i would have preferred to see this slow at level seven he goes skull cracker even if he's not avatar which is okay but i think it's probably worse because you don't really get to just survive in the back line with haymaker like you do when you have avatar but he still made it work everything else was correct i really didn't like the w build coming out from diablo i think if you have a medivh there's really no reason to go spell shield it's quite redundant and even if there was no medivh going the spell shield level one seems kind of bad anyways when you have falstad titus like there's not a lot of spell damage on the side of storm esports if you're dying as diablo it's going to be two percent damage and auto attacks from the file set on the tycos so being the full w build that's like a really it's a really passive safe slow play style for diablo and you really need in this composition your diablo kind of needs to be your hyper carry so i'd like to see him go the auto attack build so that he can really carry the game whereas the w's they're nice in a slow fight but they don't really contribute it doesn't turn him into a threat and when blaze isn't a threat and junkrat against muradin and dahaka aren't a threat you don't really have a clear hyper carry for the medivh comp and that was really felt i'd say in the late game team fights where lauber on the muradin with the haymaker the displacement was super strong against the medivh you can see it here the falstad gust the haymaker this placement is what medivh hates the most and they used it very very well between the gust and the haymaker there was the top lane fight at the very end there that won them the game where it looked like murder was going to die even lauber said in comms he thought he was going to die and they just don't do enough damage so he somehow manages to just survive he goes bowling for draided with the haymaker gets the kill with it he was popping off and comes it was so loud it didn't even really come through on the broadcast and they just completely wiped the fight with them there at that last fight with the isolation it just felt as the game progressed as the scaling took place for the side of storm esports it really felt like there was just nothing to do for oxygen at the end of that game storm esports just coming to play with the exception of that one loss to the weird cheese abathur comp storm esports looking incredibly strong star esports looking very very strong and we have the main tank player lobber on the line right now to start talking about that series lobber my friend how are you feeling after beating oxygen esports in map number four on chris hollow uh pretty good that was fun it was fun game i got to play uh hey mcmurdo which i i enjoy you know i'm a bit a bit famous for that one also playing murdering with one hand but i decided i shouldn't do this this game but maybe next game oh yeah a little serious but uh any questions for laverjesting yeah um why the haymaker that game in particular i think i have a good understanding of why but i want to hear it from you and so you can kind of explain it to the viewers at home why you would go haymaker in that game as opposed to other games uh i make that game is because they have kind of low damage to to kill me i can only die if i get into the stuke of silence and then i'm not gonna be able to pop avatar anyways so i'm just gonna die so i know they're gonna probably focus my backline and also if i get focused i have like fast falstad to just gust and i'm fine and then it's really good versus medivh portal let's say we like stun someone and we drill them and then they get away with 20 hp uh they can't do that because i'm just going to hate them away from the portal and we keep them like that also as you saw that you can also haymaker the tank into where the portal is ending to snipe off the the low targets as well like i did on the medivh if there's there's more layers to to just then it's a playmaker and it's the best talent in the game i see you lobber i see you have to start yeah i mean that's the that's the first thing it's like the best build and it's a playbacker but yeah also when you have like a bad team like i do with storm i have to pick like the damage talent just like yeah more like colossal yeah okay grubby any questions for a lover i have two questions uh one personal and one about your next match the personal one is uh if you would the most no uh i must if you must ask about it but the first one is you were if you were killing a range damage by accident would you say that it was on purpose with the haymaker uh that was definitely on purpose did you see how i was hovering diablo all the time don't don't try to take this away from me gravity okay and now that you guys have gotten this match and there's a lot of questions we want to give you guys a chance to like recharge your batteries and go into the next match my next question is about your next match you lost the diamond hands two to three in the regular season what's gonna be different this time we're just not gonna start trolling and roots is probably never going to be able to play fast ever again uh ivy's going to play that just gotta make sure that um also uh you know we have pretty good results in them versus scrims so in scrim so it should be should be a three one pretty good one you swear i just don't want to get cheesed like the abba samuro or whatever they're pulling out medivh soul whatever oh it's habits okay we listen to your comments as well you know i heard yesterday from an interview with bbj that apparently there's there's some rumblings about cho'galls and stuff like that is that true or is bbj trolling me i've heard that a lot of people wants to play shugal in like the in-houses we're doing in like the high elo uh i haven't played them myself because they're too late uh in the night but i've heard like people are like because we're banned shugal in the in us and a few guys from diamond hands are like upset that we're uh that those are those are bad because they want to play hugo um okay we will see maybe it's gonna happen i'm just gonna i mean they can shoot us i'm just gonna make them away all right all right well i'm excited to see that and as grubby said we don't want to take up too much your time because you do have another match coming up before we let you get out of here love or rest up and get some water uh any shout outs that you'd like to give the floor is yours uh yeah shout out to my team they played amazing they've started listening more

noted this earlier diamond hands kelsey here to talk about the upcoming matchup now kelsey didn't know who he's going to be going up against so he's probably going to be talking about the potential of anyone that he could be seeing or maybe even his expectations so we're going to have that wonderful interview but two quick things in the break as well while this interview is going on i'd like you to hit exclamation point prize pool so that way you can get yourself over to the maturino if we hit 12 000 we are gonna get another little hint from grubby about the song he wrote and we got one hint so
