Master's Coliseum - Semifinal - [O] Lyn vs. Infi [H]

yeah I would certainly consider his chances to be greater as well Koreans agents eSports athletes oftentimes sound very humble so you know sometimes its manners I don't know maybe it's just Feud not that confident but yeah I would expect he has better chances here certainly I agree Lind was so strong against fly I mean fly brought him to the edge of a defeat but meant away he came back and the way he executed that last fight there was just once again Linsanity and the statistics speak in favor of limb as well in maps it is 24 to 19 and serious is it's 9 to 4 in favor of length but the biggest thing is there's a streak going on Lynn is 5 and OH at the moment in serious against entry so it's been a long time since anyone against him still Lynn considers himself beyond the dark I certainly give him the edge Remo gives him the edge all of you I guess from the edge but man it's inch feet on land and he can surprise all the time remember his marvelous runneth GCS when he made it to the final out of nowhere this year he wasn't into many finds I think the one against Lynn was the only one apart from that a lot of third places or the fourth places that's it Ellen of course the master of 2018 the ultimate weapon Cyr Cup first place New Year's Cup first place do you star league first place awl both seasons first place automats Cup first place the only two tournament that he didn't win was GCS and calico that went to move in color Cup he lost to foggy in fee as I said a lot of third places not the big title but still a decent year I guess and yesterday his performance against ths he was on a different level than th is today maybe it's th the shape being not that great but it wasn't like really about micro I think in p1 just with strategies he had the better strategies what prepared more he tricked ta to some movements that he didn't expect and exploited that so if he has an equal game plan here against Lin maybe he will surprise us all and that's really cool to see in fee you know back in shape again back on top possibly again something we've been talking about quite a bit in the past like in fee and th both of them being on top that's kind of rare sometimes it's in fee who's like ad the Senate at the in the Olympus for the humans basically last GCS actually both were looking like the two strongest players in the playoffs certainly but now in fee having overtaken this time around it seems and could wear very well making it to the grand final I I think there's gonna be a 50/50 matchup I'm really looking forward to this as well so I have to get my phone because I'm still trying to get this gap in stride let the oldest player in this tournament or remaining player in this tournament with 31 years old in fee 28 Lin with that victory on Friday becoming the second player only in the history of Warcraft 3 breaking the four hundred thousand dollar prize pool mark the other player of course is Lin in fee on the other side as I said 28 years if he was here he could become the second second highest earning player this year overcoming one to zero and th and breaking the $15,000 prize pool mark so that's quite a lot at stake and as I said before there is ya the 11th premier title on the line for Lim but if in he wins this he could equalize in terms of those big titles with Lin so there's a lot at stake for both of them both seem to be in a very good mood will seem to be very relaxed but I mean there's so experienced they've been around for a long time Lin a little more experienced than in years but here we go map picks and bans entry gets rid of ancient IELTS and Turtle Rock Glen Benning twisted obviously and terraced and with so we're down to Amazonia which is our starting map and equals a lot of huge our remaining so this looks like it also match up here for me and Chanel's of course not the human map at all to Rock close position would be nice but that's not true likely linterna stands always a gamble and an easy yesh expand and I bring the expansion but you know so many good items you can creep so good with a Mountain King in NP is tremendously well with a Mountain King and twisted Meadows has of course the laboratory creep which could give the human player the instant level 3 so he bands that one as well Amazonia could be a tower rush map because it's so small I don't think so though the question is what will Linton duel in place this differently than anybody else and I remember being in a cab with entry in 2016 and that was the year that Len came back and entry was kind of desperate like since Lily's back I can't beat the orcs anymore usually NP is pretty good against Ward at the moment he's around 60% win rate which is high class but not overwhelming Lin vs. human 61% so both kind of equal in that regard Lin played a lot a fast year recently we have also seen Lin with the shadow hamsa maybe he goes back to the blade master as well despite the nerve in one point tonight we have had a few technical difficulties on Friday but hopefully that is fixed the clean feed looks good so at least for me three more not too much I guess I'm making progress alright the past China either the the past big tournaments were all won by Chinese players since the end of 2016 that's one and a half years of China only th one to zero they were the dominators of the steam they were winning GCS they were winning NSL Lin was last one to win a big tournament on Chinese soil and that was of course WCA 2016 in a grand final against the law light when the Koreans were on top of the scene and the Chinese were struggling for half the year I get I guess but there was the WCA half of the year so a lot of prize money went to Korea but if there's a chance for a non Chinese player to win this the best odds go to Lin of course we have once again [Music] metrics that the organizers put up I still don't really know what they mean I think creativity is the bottom left that's where India is ranked the lowest maybe game sense or something that's in the bottom right and yeah they're both well-rounded Lin is an absolute weapon the first game is here Amazonia linen blue starting in the upper right in fee in red starting in the bottom left it's human versus org in fee not switching to orc because of course you should not play an orc Mara versus Lin 8 and o against focus recently - OH against fly recently he's just unbeatable in that matchup so if he goes back to his main race and starts with a normal build here so what's his plan certainly not an expansion Tower rushed possible but not too likely I guess it should be a straight up game maybe a tower supported push on early tips you may be looking all comers I don't think he goes Beastmaster though that's a little too all any HTML King I see an alchemist the question is rather what is Lin do late master Shadowhunter last year everything is possible here on this map because you can pressure so much with the wolves on level 1 keep the human low on resources delay his tech but no he's not going for the Wolves is that going for Chain Lightning he's not going for the new strategy that he played in the past let's say six weeks it's the black master here it's not the best map to pimp the blade master there's not too many claws but if you're really lucky you can get a stick blade master you had that onto a rock against fly with a +35 damaged late master that was pretty insane and that of course helped him in reaching this semifinal which is the best of three two players have at the moment three thousand dollars guaranteed if you win this best of three you double your prize money and have the chance to get the twelve thousand dollars which will be awarded to the winner so yeah every Series you win doubles your prize money which is pretty pretty sick and a big difference then of course the guy with the most prize money this year with $18,000 yeah they had our help master creeping here if you catch up remote though you completely stopped working for me so after this game I'm gonna restart my computer and router and hopefully that will help right now I'm on your restream on the girl back to Warcraft go and try to see how much I can get away from that yeah I was certainly expecting the Farseer Lin had such great success with him not only against human but actually even against undead recently and this is a decent map for him but no I'm going back to the tried and true blade master here indeed with a one borough tech I haven't seen a shop yet that could be a skip shop I know he has he'll stuff so he has the shop as well so the standard tech for orcs he's not rushing anything and now of course what orcs do here is go to the little trolls lure the one for ways of a blade master doesn't tank that much damage the average is aware because in fee has a scout footman here but man the creepin goes pretty well pal in double circle it is certainly pretty nice of a start Lind Scouts as well identical creep routes for both of which is the absolute standard on Amazonia the water elemental expires - no chance for the grunt to kick it of course it doesn't want to be in snare for the Trappist years well and also for for in fee the inventory is quite great with ok the gloves of haste not too much but the mantle of intelligence certainly helps in this early state of the game to get a little bit more man a little bit more damage so that item is quite nice I don't know the state of the tech poor NP but should be slightly behind the orc I guess in peace waking up the Morlocks here interesting approach Blake masters right there though saw the movement with a grunt earlier and get some free hits on him killing the merlok now and that's a big one in terms of experience he's making sure that the blade master gets it with a wind walk back step and not the what elemental with the last hit but yeah also the archway is preparing for the mid-game buying Remos favorite item go to speed alright to be sure to not have to suffer too much against the blade master usually this is a pretty good argument map to get level 3 on and that's what makes a good human map a good human map but there was no militia creeping simultaneously at all is he too afraid of ground harass this is usually what we always see from the humans here that's true the Moloch camp is usually been taking of another blade mass it's getting the second molar this is a great early steal for learn who's getting another tome right there and we saw a lumber mill in free space but we also saw a wall mill in Lynn space so he's preparing for the tower push that's to come well that he thinks that is to come of course can buy towers there and he came by headhunters then with a crate with a piercing damage against towers but in feed not creeping on his side of the map both players have kind of the same idea to steal experience from the other side of the map and especially against off is pretty great because usually you leave those little ones for the Shadowhunter or whatever your second hero is to creep them up to level two super fast but I like this idea of NP to steal that one even if it delays your Archmage and those last hits were big the blade master arriving just barely in time just with enough mana to get that one lasted on the rogue and that makes it so that even if in forgets the other one he's still on level 3 so all things considered the early game is pretty bad for infi he's really supposed to get level three on eggsy that's true and I think that's why he's not rushing he's going for the Mountain King at double sanctum which is the slowest approach the human can go for he can't go for a super fast East last push even a pile order sometimes possible if he wanted a little mix of both you go for an alchemist second because he's at the tavern he spawns faster and then he can push a little better or you can fight earlier because you have the heal spray but the Mountain King is the slowest approach but the best late-game approach yeah absolutely the stone balls will give the human a threat finally against the blade master if you go Beast Master yes you can be very dangerous towards the base of the orc but in a real all-out battle late-game let's say 50 supply + MK usually the stronger choice yeah and you mentioned the storm bolt I mentioned the clap which has been buffed in one point in nine of course and even in like especially in combination with blizzard that can wreak havoc in the orc army with their area of effect combination so he's getting some more less sincere level 3 the Mountain King is there to disable of course Don bolt first then Clare and he saves that footman with that in fee and th accord masters of footman movements so he's doing he's saving that one is the blade master going in again I don't think so so the taskmaster goes to in feed the big experience goes to impede but this is all time for the Shadowhunter since the laboratory was crept already he has to move out a little further out in the map to go for those goblins as well it's always a little dangerous because there is slow there is catch with the storm bolt so the Shadowhunter and grunts are a little in danger if the human decides to go on a very aggressive route early on but if he's not doing that creeping up to his level 3 and of course going for the clap on level 2 1 go Mido you stream is working finally for whatever reason it suddenly started working all right so the Archmage didn't have the fastest progress in this game that mostly meant that he couldn't apply too much pressure so this has been a pretty damn peaceful game all things considered especially with infi being the human who usually likes to assert and pressure towards the human at was the of main can we say that this should favor Lin slightly in the mid-game with him having you know not taking any damage or is the m'kay is strong enough late-game but you don't need to apply any damage it's always hard to tell like where you're supposed to be in I feel like in this match yeah I think so too I mean the item is of course great now for entry with the boots of Quel'Thalas I don't really know the progress on the second years okay we have level two four and three on the mountain King which is nice but if the Shadowhunter looking like he's gonna check it now oh if he has a wart there he sees that really great for him but he's moving out securing his own expansion there which is not the ideal thing to do because the blade master got the mercenary camp creep already the one that carries the item so what Lin is doing here is more effective than what in fee is doing but it's safe so I think as we said before in fief wants to go for the superlative and sees better chances there I guess because of the clap lizard combo later yeah if you get there it is super strong but I always feel like okay I'm a little decent bit behind you then it now he got the nuts from those two mercenary camps yes boots of Quel'Thalas is attack speed and damage and armor for the blade master and the vamp aura is just the best thing you can find for because everything that you attack gives you a little HP back that's why it's called the ban aura loon already with a koto beast for more damage he has the Raiders or disabled he has the walkers for more sustain and for this spell he has he steals the heal scroll I like that one no in the potion though if I saw that correctly but maybe he moves to the other side are the mo potion went to the mountain king who is level 3 now I wonder if there's a tomb of retraining as well or if we still have the water elementals but the investment in King this has to be clapped to he reveals himself interestingly so infi 54 supply for him what can he do in this fight first dispel here on the water elementals that means we don't have blizzard we have the clap here though everything is a little slowed or countered by a speed scroll ease trying to eat with the khottabych that doesn't work well militia are joining the fray now of course infi is trying to guide with all that slow from the sorceress but so far I think Linda's doing a good job did the Codel eat I'm not sure he dispels again hue wave rattling through the front line the plate master is dealing some decent damage with his plus what is a 10 damage plus 15 damage I guess Mountain King is kept in the Shadowhunter a little far ahead could catch a storm while there's plenty of mana on that Mountain King and he had went off matter stealing as well so the shadow hunter is completely depleted already if still 50 for supply for Lin who's doing a marvelous job with that Raider micro he sends him back in little surprise there he gets the kill the bob mage is in trouble the mountain king as well but he moves him out of the way and causes the town portal whew boy Lyn wins the first fight here on Amazonia but if he didn't lose too much I feel after the battle both players still sitting kind of comfortably around 50 supply but more experienced certainly going Lin's way right especially with those watch elementals he's at the shop he gets the Invo now and I've keep on hearing that the Chinese are convinced of how amazing klappas I know you agree but when you don't know that use your storm bolt or when the Mk doesn't use the storm bolt the blade master is much freer to do whatever he wants doesn't have to fear the damage doesn't have to fear getting killed and it has all that damage uptime himself I mean he does get attack speed slow but he doesn't get stunned and especially with this inventory and these levels is making good use of this yeah level 4 blade master of course he uses his map control with a wind walk now for double heal scroll and in repose and I don't know the inventory of the Shadowhunter but I can only imagine that there's the matter potion he lets a clarity run now for full mana soon and what's left for anything to do on his side of the map not too much I guess it's only the two red spots available for both planes GNP might be thinking okay there's still the mercenary this is only the experience he saw the boots of Quel'Thalas and the vampire so he must be sure that the renegade wizard is always gone he has a mana potion on the mountain king in repulsion as well and he sends out scout water elementals to see the position of Lyn who's coming from the north late master sees the army deal some damage can be disabled with a storm but goes into wind work right away is revealed now though rest of the army is following but he doesn't want to take that fight yet it's the Archmage level 4 by the way that's a big deal yeah I don't think so I don't think so either everything always seems to be low man on K yeah exactly except the mountain king who is of course not using any spells or moment to have them at the right place and the right time Lyn still has this natural there's a big consumable ready for him and with his item like that he had so far I wouldn't be too surprised to see a big envelope a bit mana portion here but of course it's also a chance for and he has a ward there and the what elemental is scouting that as well so he knows what's up it is a big conga line though he has to regroup before engaging into this fight is for walkers and certainly a lack of Raiders and in his army is that the only one if that's the case then here certainly a problem to disable blizzard there has been retraining yet but yes if that should come you're absolutely right and also with good micro which entry certainly has it might be hard to kill the finally skills in the years land engaging into this arch didn't get the experience was told about anything job just Istanbul with a beautiful in repose that I guess he just found there and stole from the rock golem because there is no other item so he must I went a better sitting again or did he save that no it was the wind of manner feeling for that mountain King so he used him proposin he got from the shop level three and a half Mountain King here outmatched not level 4 if I saw that correctly it's actually only pretty close to level 3 on the am so still far away from the rubble to burn Sora I didn't get too many kills then and I like that move by in fee yeah denying the expansion with just simple farm cool little move and here comes the tower push very very late compared to like two years ago with all the rage was just attacking the orcs with towers and towers and more towers but this is not the case anymore just a distraction to buy more time and in fee of course going for the boroughs so weak so easy and so much value if you kill them because it keeps your opponent supplies that you can still push he didn't finish the farm the earth oh so he can't go over sixty supply he has to fight with what he has Mountain King in this boom here we go big clap everything is a little stunt what elemental still invisible not doing damage at the moment so this start once again pretty damn good for Lyn I guess input potion saves the mountain king who was a little they are surrounded there here wave saves the koto is bolted he's clapping again when a fan are stilling being used I guess against the Shadowhunter he has to use the first clarity in the game here would be awesome if you could cans nobody can't great at the moment clap once more he's using a lot of mana early on in this fight so oz was in a good position but I wouldn't be too surprised to infinity peace out here's with his back against the wall Mountain King is doing his best as he can but there is no damage for the Chinese he's losing unit after unit after unit another clap but he heals everything up again oh this is not looking good you listen lose another priest he gets a better position although level 5 on him crits are gonna be off the charts now with level 3 he's clapping more and more but the hue of immediately afterwards and that's GG by infeed just the lack of damage good control by interference why have I learned good timings as well and that's the one old wall in solid play and in fee by no means making big mistakes but Lyn making no mistakes in that game man and the clap again there's a lot of big fans out there it is certainly a strong ability it has a lot of AoE damage but it doesn't have control really you can't focus the target there's always healing there's always scrolls or feeling a here wave and trolls are feeling the AoE heal to deal with the clap and also in that game the skirt dawn shines helping out nicely as well and there was a strong victory on arguably more of the human map like what other good human maps are there echo else of course sac simply chip effectively and last for futures there as well in the pool which is also not too bad it's not as good as Amazonia is it's kind of 50/50 maybe slightly favored for orc so I think it's a no-brainer for NP to go for a quail's now what about twisted veto okay twist it in Teheran on veto yes okay so standard videos I didn't see those earlier when I was still trying to get the stream to work lr again I think it's it's pretty straightforward and simple in this matchup it is about a liberal three Archmage how easily can you get there or the alternate strategy the fast exponent is this where you bust that out but that always seems so risky like if a good old player is playing perfectly against you and Lynn is the best ball player in the world it just seems like you can't hold that oftentimes if he finds a clause by the gloves at the shop you can just run across and sometimes just kill your expansion while it's coming up but what I want to add kind of to this game is that I feel it was kind of uninspired by infi there was not the big timing surprise there was not a new strategy or whatever so it was pretty straight up and pretty normal and if you play normal against Lynn that's exupéry and what I all oftentimes feel from inti when he's looking the scariest is when he emits this aura of the threat constantly especially against Nigel and orc I feel like ain't against night off always scouting always finding the counter expose and against auric always being a danger of pushing and damaging your base but in that first game he had a tough time finding level-3 early on a map where it's supposed to be easy so you know against th in the first round he looked really convincing and strong in charge but here I feel like we haven't seen the best of entry yet well he had an idea to go for the laboratory Auckland early was of course for him a little unfortunate that Lin stole everything there Oh almost everything so that the latest progress hard we saw on that sheet that we just had on stream 18 more units killed Warland of course human humans are a lot squishier but there was the problem at the end not going for blizzard early still fighting with those water elementals and Lin's army mix was few raiders mass luck mass but a lot of walkers so the despair was there and in fee doesn't adapt or didn't have the resources to adapt that was certainly a problem and with the lack of damage you can't threaten Linh not at all so as we said earlier Lin on a five-o win streak against in fee the longest-running win streak in this tournament that is still remaining and it looks like you can keep that up but maybe it's getting a little closer on the next map which should be a crowd we do have a lot of supporters coming in which is awesome because it's so early and almost 1000 viewers already here thank you true mythos for the sub thank you of course here who's that the MVP 50-buck donation too early in the morning hype it's never too early for Warcraft man call me with the sub blew up and gifting a sub to Warcraft 2 back has a fantastic job translating these interviews and it is echo out by the way thank you blue Bob and for the 20 or sub that you give to people and for watching ti with us kick off with the 16 month Risa idubbbz with a prime sub at lado and so sorry meant for the host so you see a lot of support here for early morning Walker thank you guys so much as well from my side is this Lin just steamrolling his way through to the grand final this could be it quick and easy he hasn't lost a single map yet to overfly yesterday one old now in the lead against in Peter what's the person that lost 14 feet as we said yesterday against th he looks so strong but it's this not more his map he could even start with the Mountain King if he wants to for creeping was clap it's doable now and then you expand and then that DB is triple sanctums they don't even have to go triple saying he can go double sanction as well and is still working with the past seventy supply push but we're gonna see about that welcome to map to welcome to match points for Lin he could make it into the grand final of masters Coliseum he could double his prize money for six thousand guaranteed dollars so what do we see is it a fast year this time or more harass in fee if he goes for an expansion could cut a corner by skipping a tower in his face if he's so sure that it's the Blademaster maybe he's not going for a tower at all that yeah this looks like a Blademaster build I think with the barracks here I think I'm this mask position especially Blademaster is so strong I mean so many claws we all know that you can go for the uber trick in the middle you can even force out those creeps if a push is coming over so many nice things you can go for yeah I'm always a big fan of the blood mage first fast expansion but that is a very player specific thing not really increased thing right I'm so far behind I'm seeing it now all right that is like five seconds okay I think the fights belong to me then yeah Black Mage first then it's an interesting thing because you make your brought it into the scene if I'm not mistaken it's in fee copying a strategy of his yeah kind of biggest bowl from back in the day 2013-14 one of the strengths and weaknesses of a black mage um he's a very a very very special hero very unique in his tool kit he kind of it kind of takes heroes out of engagements he doesn't have really damaging spells unless you go for flame strike which usually isn't the build he gets rid of opponents manner so he takes away their capabilities of spells and he keeps stuff alive kind of with vanish or he disables heroes so he kind of disempowers heroes or empowers his own heroes so he often times takes the speed out of the early game or the later stages but it all depends on mana once he's out of mana he does kind of nothing he has some right-click but not too amazing really so he's oftentimes hit or miss if you don't control him perfectly he can sometimes look underwhelming okay so what's the plan for in fee is it mercenary camp is it expansion it looks like it's both like he steals the Merc at the shadow priest here but those one expansion Lulu almost loses our past and over it late master is of course aware of the play now can he finish all of this groups but in time looks like it bring up protection first second ring of protection here and it with us squishy blood mate against the blade master those jobs are not even that bad and we have to keep a very close eye out here on how good the control is every peasant here matters a lot and the first one is dead as the bait master comes in little drive-by going into winter walk once again he has a claudus circle so his damage output is also not the worst the thing is the ground this year the blade master to you with additional attack speed and additional damage can keep this expo up with four Passons he goes for the Shadow Priests and saves them with a banner so far and I her very early siphon manner to force that wind forgets the last wind walk can he still stay in that position and he looks like he doesn't have the resources for an expansion at the moment he sees the blade master now gets him down to four deep mana that is no wind fog anymore and here comes the expansion the fifth person is coming but in Lin's Tech is far ahead around 60% already third Perot is coming and that's of course no threat to him so he will get a second hero out he will get his tier two buildings out and then the question is mass pressure or counter expansion yeah you can play the one of those two ways and both are viable if you plan well enough but so far so good I think for in fee you only lost one peasant that's totally fine this blade and grunt are stood kind of scary but it's only level one blade master he only has so many heal selves and yeah this Expos coming up pretty easily and Lin Clift and they're a little bit better he could have used one more wind walk had he been a little bit more patient maybe with that he can get out more damage but in fee proving that he is controlling able to control this that made very well yeah I wanted to go for banish surrounded the grunt didn't work he goes for the boots now to be able to run away from that blade master and Cl and what is it it's 1b story for sure he's waiting for the second hero which is the Panda so he really wants to break this he doesn't want to go into a longer game with this I guess super short siphon mana here so there is a lot of damage coming in against passes against foot minutes again building it's great against everything decides to go for the footmen first especially against in fee and th seems to be a decent choice because they wanted to go for a banner surround which didn't work at first nice little safe from the footmen demolition are coming to support the first arcane tower is up plus of course banished on the plate master so no right-click damage at the moment but the black mage is heard also kind of low on mana can't save himself with banish of course but then the Breath of Fire does too much he has to kind of banish the late master of his opponent he does have to shadow priest in the back for some healing until the shop pops up dude but how good the defence was this he lost nothing it took quite a bit of damage on everything as is the case against a panther you know but you want to pick that second hero from the tavern to get a lot of damage onto your opponent's economy and it was like nothing agree there's no check yet for people yeah I guess that's the big that's the big deal right all those militia force so that does indirect they cost a lot of lumber I guess that's true but the moment is fine is preparing for a wyvern harass which is I think not coming so this is some resource that impede doesn't have to spend but of course better safe than sorry so one guard tower in the bay is one arcane tower in the base look hmm we cover spending of resources I now some creeping handoff energies or super guys for the Black Mage more disabled more Cybermen are by the way they'll sink check the geomancer for me okay stream legs nice pandas about to hit level two at the sides but I think there's also no defend on the footman's if you do more damage against that he's taking a lot of time not distracting not forcing more repair more militia more anything no widen play no counter expansion this is just a normal tier 2 or play if there's no tech behind this and that seems to be kind of quick Yellen sent out a peon earlier to the gold mine but decided not to pop down the expo so seemed like he was thinking about it but decided against it not believing that he is capable of counter expanding I guess I've always been a fan of tier 3 rush actually for the orc and then get the tiny Great Hall so it can't get cancelled having to remain is worrying on that and I think the timing is not really right because if you should be it round tear too soon and pandas not number three halfway through only or 60% okay then there is still some time when air for for Lin they let me seen the orc base limited fifty supply panas level three but normally you don't stand a chance later on without he like this this Panna it's got a great inventory but there's no hex there's no heat wave and here we go in fee against boroughs there's so much hate of indigent there are those buildings but when I'm not doing too much damage but it's alright gets all of the first one so let me supply suck now this forces a town for leak it of course easily afford that trying to get the shadow priest which the work doesn't get the borough as well so just time bought that infrakit afford he is here too now he has a blacksmith in the bag riflemen to get that early seventies apply post I guess a little bit more damage wait a minute did he lose the altar was I guess that was a raider run by at one point okay no he goes dump ah he expects this whoo that's pretty cool that's next level flame int then and like did in fiddling Scout this second also on the bottom because Nana must be of the opinion that he denied the second hero right now I don't think he knew about this he knows about the one in the South that is one smart play from infinite anticipating this move and now we have a base race but of course you shouldn't go for a base race against work there's a timer that's an expansion now can Lin get the townhall no icon panda a super-low can't stay in that fight and the Archmage is joining now is giving away this information all right it should be Blizzard I think I'm now he should have the first big fight but speed scroll out should also be no problem he did do some damage but without pillage I guess while he was still surprised that he's trying again for that keep forever fire get rid of a few workers the expansion at the moment this is only income then play that so smaller gets the ref a fire killed a lot more than we saw so here we have that fight Breath of Fire in to know where that was this yes actually a lot more thanks to that pendant of energy siphon mana now goes on for a long time where that's a level to siphon man I guess so far so fast that the Panda was completely dry or is completely dry now speech ball escapes their Ida nice now to not give experience to in fee even gets a kill on the way out but yeah that's the problem now that you mentioned no healing Archmage went aura first by the way and there's riflemen and priests for the healing all that brother fire was massive but instantly counted by a yield scroll and now I think Lin is in trouble if there would be like one or two more sorcerers he would be like evacuating all of it out of nowhere he can't stay in this he has to get out and he does but in fee again defending this and in the bottom right there is constant damage to the expansion oh so sweet with mercenaries he cancels it smart play by in fee again the ice man is back in this series and this is what this attack was all about distract deal damage as much as you can as Lin but of course you don't win the game there you want buy time for that expansion of yours but in feed to smart knew this was happening and as you say cancels it pretty easy with those mercs late master not even level 3 blood mages level 3 for a long time but shall control an echo al-sisi of the hill scroll and that was a big heels gun in the first fight that we saw there or in fee because the Panda came in Breath of Fire you have to have these yield Scrolls to counter the Panda yes you have freeze gifts you might have a shadow freeze but that's not enough against this instant area of effect damage that you have from the Panda hot levelling now on the Archmage or at least he tries 266 supply for the orc Panda is that with me of course he heavily prioritized that one this time he has more Raiders for and pillage he's trying to go for the expo again but there's a ward right next to it saying he knows immediately and as well no space takes forever to come up the war does expire though yes my lizard rattling through in this fight you're close to Lin's Bey's panda level 4 with this if I'm not mistaken siphon mana lesson for too long we delivered now at the end snares coming over but he did that damage and there is the useful that Lin bought before the big one because it saves a lot of use but the two grunts should fall now everything is slow it's there no dispel anymore you can't run away against the enemy's force is so big when 70 supply against 40 for only Lin losing a lot of that fight it almost every single Walker is then it look at this blizzard again this is the damage that he was lacking in game 1 and everything is about to fall but so is the Black Mage has to be careful he comes siphon man again this spells this so he can run away by crimson mask on every single Raider and this is the biggest push that we've seen in this series now from in fee as long as he keeps the Black Knight alive expose still take some time though and now with the map control that in fee has just grabbed for the first time it seems like forever he should be able to get those Scrolls of healing but Lin is preparing to the for the counter-attack here at the same source he spends all his gold he has decent block a line with three characters and a mauler rifles behind that so it's very hard for Lin to access the actual casters because there's like a second line of buffer units that usually isn't there with a rifleman so he's trying to go for that base race once again but the Raiders are not fully healed the heroes are not there or is there one hero ok the Panda is there I don't know if he has a scroll or not but if he can apply some slow that could hurt but this is a smart way of Lin to buy time yeah absolutely spilling his units perfectly as well staying just barely out of range of those sorceresses the slows don't connect doesn't even need to use Scrolls of speed or decent chance to get away and this Expo will finally come up it may be too late now might be there's militia support coming and we've seen this over and over and over again in matches your articles for upgrades that the human will establish a little outpost here at the little trees that we see there and trying to fortify that position with powers and then break through over the river but this was exactly what we saw at W League and Lin is a master in defending this but is he capable of holding without the healing of a Shadowhunter that's the big question in proportion on the blood mage to heal no TP on him good block a line though nice banish to save that mauler here comes wizard once again Raiders us coming through but the blizzard way too long there should have been an ant's now like after the second wave he's standing right next to it but still or he goes from the Archmage now in the surround and he kills for almost two Raiders step the heal skull is there for the rescue mauler is finally down here comes Blizzard one killed two kills oh this is not good fallen at all there's also no hero focus attempt because the banished is constantly disabling the blade master this is pretty good play by MP and there's so much left he has to go for gyro kills but he doesn't have the weapon the Panda is falling low and all my god water swab of the big healing potion tremendously well done by Lin but level for the black match now blizzard is raining over and over and over again on the org units in blue potion now on the Archmage to save him for quite some time he's level 3 now the wizard just got a lot better and he saves himself into a better position while Lin is just continuing to lose units another Raider down the coda B's can he apply slow there would be a big pickup but he can't but now the GG Lin has no chances anymore the floodgates are open to kill the expansion and that's the equalizer we go into our first map 3 in this very tournament in the semi final here this was so way better in fee than we saw on that one yeah absolutely completely different strategy of course going for the expansion play and for once Lin not playing perfectly against this now I'm not a very high level of work so I can tell you what exactly the perfect place but we have seen this Expo getting punished harder before think back on the early game I kept count how much he killed it was one peasant and one that was it that is not good enough absolutely like the Panda is a solid choice if you want to break this expansion early but I guess you need mercenaries with that push as he said he didn't do anything and then the Panda has so much less value then a Shadowhunter maybe even less than a TC because he doesn't provide the aura and yeah if you have to constantly run away from the human army it doesn't work at all shoutouts a good game that are you right into the camera there of course from our side as well I guess my card is misleading Allen with a with the rare miss play or miss read maybe thought he could get a lot done with a panda but I mean you always have to expect militia support to be running in and the blade master was only another one at that point so you're gonna be assaulting the expansion with two level 1 heroes and doesn't seem too impressive and it wasn't too powerful either but can you imagine how this game goes if in fee is not going for that second Delta because Lin had a right timing to kill that thing in the north if he like if there's no second Delta the automate doesn't pop out and then like the second here is delayed for such a long time giving the orc a lot more opportunity to do damage certainly would have made things more difficult for in fee but I even think with only one hero he had a pretty big army at that point could have held maybe you would have lost more in the process so it was still a super smart play to get the altar down in the south but it was only an aura basically didn't have spells yet to use only that aura quit with that the expansion have survived for on land side I mean probably not still probably would have gotten cancelled with that fully over there and with the mercenaries but seems like in fee mani has faced that quite a bit on on ladder know the vulture will be getting assaulted so last with huge will end this series and it will determine who will go into the grand final of masters Coliseum we have a little recap of the game here 41 kills only it's not that in he killed a lot more but it's just in few losing a lot less this game I think and then of course yeah the expansion here paying off so hard 84 supply max he even broke I upkeep for that final push but that is the only map you can do it on normally I have seen last refuge expansions maybe twice I really don't think you can expect that to work here though if in fitra is it I believe it is because he is feeling desperately without chances in a straight-up game it could try the girl tower rush as well l are not really the best map for it but we have seen it work here before what about a file of sour puss that had decent success we saw it for a while I was like if the flavor of the month for a little bit especially Tamiko using it pretty damn frequently a couple months ago yeah I could see that that is as many tower pushes girl can be successful if the orc just slips up a couple of steps here and there suddenly that can win the game for you if executed properly of course I think you shouldn't go late-game unless a few chickens or because there's so many good items to find so many claws so much stuff to also boost the Shadowhunter which will be the second year of choice you're most likely because there is nothing to kill early on and for the you I mean orc scales so well with items humans okay they can get a buff here and there but not nearly as good as orgs and you can't get the expo op the off will most likely have pillage later so economically the walk should have or should be the favorite here or should be favored here plus the items are better I think you should try to kill the York early and the file up should have a kind of a surprise factor yeah definitely will Firelord not the most likely strategy but Lynn is gonna realize that it is a possibility I think since the nerve to critical strike human scales way better into the late game than they used to before m'kay especially on this map if you go for clap once again clap plus Blizzard on LR weather so many chokes can be super effective going up into up keep not losing too much on the way there if you get to the late game there were four automated level 3 or 4 MK with a 70 supply army if you're if Flynn hasn't found too many amazing items I think this could be a good late-game map for NP depends also a little bit on the fighting position there are chokes there's also open ground of course you may want to fight in the chokes the walk wants to fight an open ground so it depends on like where do you position your army where can you trick your opponent into fighting the shops are nice spots for that because you can't surprise your opponent there and force a fight because of the trapars for example this is but like this is also quite a hard map for you to get level 3 and he had problems already on Amazonia yeah where it's usually as you said it's kind of easy here it's even harder and if you limp like plays a good late master as we've seen before like in the game against fly he killed his opponents late master after 3 minutes so that's how good he's controlling that guy and how aggressive can be it's gonna be hard for you I think that is the single most difficult thing about LR for human in this matchup early game experience gained for the a.m. if the blade master super aggressive we can even keep you on level 1 for a long time if he arrives at the murlocs nice and early and steal some of your last hits there but if you get out of that early difficult phase you go towards the MK you go to - - you go for map control with the sanctums you have three camps outside your base pretty easy to creep with militia where the orc isn't strong enough yet to take those away from you but normally in fear player renowned for utilizing his Archmage and footman very early to apply pressure to you that's gonna be very very difficult to execute to your early game on it on Lin will he go into his six final this year is it into you finally gets into a final again after like six month or so he is the bronze boy at the moment constantly losing in semifinals that was the case at GCSE that was the case awl that was the case at color cup that was the case of GCSE grand final can he break that semi-final curse finally his last final was January 21 in siaka against Lin seven ago one more map one map for the top two one map was six thousand dollars in fee on the bottom left Lin in the upper right what will we see we haven't seen a Farseer yet and guys don't forget this tournament is progressing pretty quickly here this is gonna be our finalists who wins here is gonna be guaranteed second place at least and a lot of prize money as well so mountain king or Archmage Archmage standard choice now Lin so what to us mr. cameraman okay yeah all this map once again very understandable so many Clause also possibly have to get boots of coop alas there's also a few slippers here there is also the koto aura that you can get from the rad spot so yeah and of course map control is the biggest thing I guess with wind walk to prevent level 3 from the Archmage which is possible with the past year as well it's understandable choice but certainly interesting that he only goes for ostrich public maybe we caught a glimpse there of the base no shop it's gonna be a super fast tack it's gonna go so there's a shot but it's really late right yeah I guess he goes for the green spot gets the item there and then the shop is finished but I don't think it's gonna be finished in time like the heroes already popping out now so it's going to the middle he's not creeping he's going for the SERP literally so why does he need the shop is he going for the ogre Magi creep trolls I guess with a high priest maybe just makes the shop early so it can't get cancelled if the a.m. was to become aggressive okay it's not like he's rushing his tech with that so yes he's going for the high priest gets the well of illusion which is more scouting Artemis groups to the upper left which is a very interesting choice yes not too much experience together and guess what without the illusion it would have would not have known about this so very fortunate drop here : that's true okay yeah I guess he wanted to go for his opponents natural to take that experience away and now he's not even level two yeah can send out militia to take out the murlocs down south but with a grunt there and there is a grunt there that might not be so different is so easy to pull off and of course it takes some time of your tech and delays it a little Lin is just all over the place with that illusions and with the grunts he covers a lot yeah in he is trying that as well spreads out some footmen and uses militia at the south so I guess his tech ass yeah must have started 60% : already the plate master is there once again there's no boots on the Archmage yet oh my god and he's out of mana on the am nothing and not even the aura this is sad sad territory he is gonna get level two here finally taking two spots at the same time Lin we cannot be everywhere that was close though link up the item which was cloak I guess late master is now having a hard time to follow that outrage because there are boots causing the northern troops but there was no items like master cup that one before so how far is increased taken only now at 60% so the orc is quite a bit ahead and Lin's game so far almost flawless yeah but I really like about this orc opening is you're investing heavily into circlets going getting both of those very expensive but you don't spend money on heal cells for a long time so it works out with the economy interesting thing this is the second time of this series that in fee moving over to his opponent side of the map super quickly and trying to deny the orcs experience on his like home soil but I think it's Loken okay it's looking fine for in fee he had a scariest super early game where he didn't even get to live with to for a long while but now it's two and a half this must be an alchemist right well that makes sense he a lot of footy still remaining and there's pressure with this very well this is pretty dangerous for Linden I guess I mean there's no Beastmaster play here there's no lumber mill so this is a lot of sustain for these footmen how many other seven and it's the only other one blade master two circlets yes but no crit yet oh he's distracting a little bit and already does damage in the north let's move fast with the repair here yeah I mean he's he saw it early on yeah I woke up the creeps as well by the way very nicely done yeah well and snares fly towards the forties oh he's walking back into the camp though yeah to ends nest and he used the second he'll spray already so we have he'll spray versus he'll wave two heroes to support heroes they're second heroes an increase bushes over man just with a little bit of a blade master movement and of course the shadow to poppin up with hacks first she gotta be careful here he pulls the creeps again right this time it was in fee though and result in anything yet yeah and this alchemist like aren't you supposed to play him aggressively you can't blame him on both ways I mean you are distracting now and buy time because your tech was later then you catch up with that second hero purchase at the tavern he comes militia lraa to use them for creeping pretty powerful early on before the tier 2 org stuff is really online but he can't knock the shop now normally seem with you with us with an MK and with that you can oftentimes get both the ogre Magi with the alchemist though is so risky gets one of the trappers he gets the second trap no it doesn't plate master guarded stealing magpie level two and a bit who's gonna get the big one he is revealed he knows where he is but what can he do against there's no bolt and Lin didn't get the item did you get the experience I'm not too sure got experience from something but I know my goes to creep or do whatever I think it wasn't enough for it looked like it wasn't the major exactly he was a watchful a metal or something big into a potion of course great for entry but if he's making good use here of these militia even without the power of the storm bolt with the alchemist he's gonna be able to get both these ogre Magi as humans oftentimes able to disengaging here though does he have the first Raiders for in scenario speech call or anything the Raider is there but he's far behind slow already on the blade master nice touched by entry to slow down this creep Jack but the first priest is getting caught off-guard he thinks the end says more and more coming also from the trappers again the creeps not in favor of in fee but the experience goes towards the human again the second shop revealed being used to he knows for the plate master is once more level two and a half only so it's a bad pick what's he getting in the potion no heal scroll and level 3 for the Archmage finally that took some time but he got it big mage I still on the field and this time it goes to the arch match again this is level 2 for the alchemists we do have acid fog tea now big heal potion which is also great opener protection you mentioned it protects him from this blade master physical damage and he scarcely no way tremendous early mid game by in fee this was fantastic how he got this necessary experience without losing too much and I wonder Lin of course is contesting really hard for those camps in the middle yeah I don't think you need to play this so aggressively though I think trading experience creeping somewhere else for example at your laboratory would have been fine also how because you can be be slowed and stuff next fights there's more and more and more sorceress so more and more and more slow obviously also three walkers for the dispel in heavy on the walkers again trying to go for the ultimate of the blade masters dropping fairly though I think as acid bomb what was acid bomb on him now going for the unit's kills another pure but that's the biggest thing the koto is still there providing the battle drums for additional damage he'll score being used he bought that earlier in stole it from increased side of the map Butlins Army is looking ridiculous it's still 46 supply gets the level of it must be critical strike now for additional damage because he certainly lacks damage in his army the caster so protected has to use the big healing potion of the alchemist now and speed scroll to evacuate man Linden is underway more pressure than we would have thought after game one where it all looked like a walk in the park for him if he stepped up his game tremendously and this is the in fear that we saw against th yeah dudes pretty well a still question like for a long time in more than just one match of ox have been prioritizing the level 3 sh trading experience with your opponent is fine if you get to that level to here wave this time around limb playing it differently engaging earlier trying to battle for those over may die not getting them though giving them up in the end but you didn't really lose much aside from losing out on experience he lost one grunt that's it though so still even steven between the two I'd say what a game it's always high-class Warcraft between linen in fee maybe my favourite feud of the year so far between them red spot now the best endurance aura maybe even is the endurance oh yeah more movement speed the attack speed doesn't really matter but the movement speed in combination with slow and the absence of a TC is helping it be really really yeah like a lot he sees the movement now that the peon is coming but it's only a peon even more experience and now the other rad sparks no stumble to control him and I said wonder the alchemist how well is he gonna late I work out here in the super late game but hold that thought there's a push coming towards the main then it's gonna have to respond quickly yes we're going for the burrows once more this is the Achilles heel of orgs has been for ever and now first one is down second ones coming lots of magic damage what elementals there as well he's putting the damage a little bit greedy he already gets the second one he gets the third one as well as a farm has been used on the peons TP out now so much damage done and he gets the fourth one as well base in shambles in fee can produce now and Lynn is stuck at 49th supply until forever he has a lot of gold Oh can set up those burrows quickly again and that was greedy by Lyn he saw the human down south he scouted with a peon but didn't go back wanted to get level 3 on the s age before didn't even go back with a blade master to try to scare him off or whatever and now the am going for the late-game plug going for the 12 retraining I'm gonna have Blizzard here and of course Lynn has to push now there's no way he can't allow in feed to produce units he's only at 56 now so with and he will fight in that choke oh boy this is gonna be so hard full and will he really the semi finally hasn't lost the semi-final this entire year there's Hugh what's now as well and yeah look at my leg so nice that at this position is absolutely perfect you can zone with the blizzard at the front to prevent the orc from coming back and there's not too much range so you can just position the heel one in the back and there's so much space between like the front line where the blizzard hits and the back line where the heel Ward is why now the endurance or a man is so nice to get across the map quicker you would love to go for those burrows again and I hopeful in psyche that he had a teepee he must have a teepee there's no way but could he afford it I don't know this was designed to be an all-in push for Lin but that didn't work man his fianc they all dead as it seems some might be in the burrows but he's losing them anyway this is a disaster for the Korean oh my god blizzard and the split damage of the army'll in what do you do here caught between a rock and a hard place he's getting back but there must be a teepee for injury as well like otherwise he wouldn't die that big and he has like the perfect position behind third Towers acid for being us blizzard on top so much damage against the Raiders there's just no surface area full Lintz army to attack anything you except with the blade master who has to carry now but of course it's always gonna be he'll spray against this more and more blizzard there's no disabled at all it's ice age for these orgs these poor fellows must be super cold and now town portal out he did enough damage he has a 57 supply Lin that was terror and that was Lin for once showing flaws in his game when you know that is blizzard and he knew it was blizzard you're always supposed to at least hold one end snare at the beginning of the fight for the a.m. to cancer to blizzard but he runs in uses all three ends nets that he has immediately on breakers and casters and whatever and then this a I'm in the back and do whatever he wants that was way too much space for this Archmage it's a level 5 already know right no four must be lowered while there's also claw on the Shadowhunter which should never be the case is this the final push almost doubled for alchemist and again he hits the entire army this time the answer has our own point speech goes well koto beasts have still full stomachs and they can't get rid of more army of infi was pushing his way into the grand final alchemist being caught off guard maybe a you know focus is the thing here he has to take care of the he'll walk before but again man the blizzard the AoE is racking in fear and on the other side he's trying to go for the hero gamble but there's a big in repulsion on this alchemist saves him there and the plate master has to get in another heat wave dance even towers coming but this is Lin's army he can produce way more there's no or there's one Raider I guess but that's it then like master suffering no matter on the Shadowhunter anymore what's his hope what can you hope for I think it's desperate man the brakes are burning so much when I asked to pump again of the black masse Japs out and it fee defeats Linh for the first time after five serious as he breaks the streak and he's in the grand final of masters Coliseum well done well done by and becoming strong coming back strong in this series it was kind of they they changed or it was reversed between the two Lynch starting off super strong in fee not so much on map number one and then map two and three it was the other way around and all in all the better player today wins and that is MC with all the viewing all three maps it was kind of one-sided every one of them yeah I think so yeah wasn't that bad it was just Lin being better so in fees showing great strength on map two and three here and stand to the first grand final since January 21 which was the seer Cup and we like the cheerful seer man yeah right don't usually see that too much in our Chinese competitions and linman first semi-final lost once again loss when it comes to offline tournaments GCS wasn't really his online needs the beast but offline some yaks and after that first map I thought all right Lin's on point today he is playing exceptional but map two and three had their flaws and infi had a chance to get into the grand final where he is now and now I think he has pretty good chances no matter who makes it through here next gonna be interesting for sure it's either gonna be the rematch against foggy which was the GCSE quarter-final wherein he defeated Tim three oh it was a crushing defeat to be honest or a rematch from a GCSE grand final from 2017 which was a nail-biter and a masterful series that won 2-0 took the took at the end he became a back-to-back champion there $6000 go to in figurin TT can boost it to twelve thousand later today when we have determined his opponents and we have two horses in the race in the second semi-final obviously the youngest player to ever win a premier tournament won 2-0 or our European hope he isn't company with 100 kg a Russian organizer who flew all the way to Shanghai to support his buddy who does he have a solution for one to zero that's the question here once again a recap all games 15 minutes and again in he kills so much more the blizzard at the end and of course the burro go so well executed and I guess it pays off that he runs across the map to do some evasion creeping to not be found from the plate master he the latest level 3 by a lot but he was never really punished in the early game too much yeah I know I didn't like Lin's timings in that last game sh level 3 way too late and neglecting his base neglecting the base defense and that's that's in fees favorite spot yeah right next to your burrows absolutely kills them all off the first time and then he comes back he didn't did well like at the very beginning off to you too when the outcome was joined yeah and he pulled the creeps there was like Lin level of play but leaving the gate to the base so what far way open all right fire now right now go see a movie oh man I may be our Chinese friends can translate again besides your uncle happy about what is so deep and polite we don't have way to change that oh well then do it that's a rotten little strange Ito quick change you gotta pay the whole change in government dojo alright so like how you know how about your target a low me that's all I do coming up a little higher business Anita those endowed what achievement at all [Applause] never tell a woman buried in Sandwich in solitary gonna trace our number woman choose all your time hi Conan Eternian to that language whistle Sammy is hung also besides really funny in what order the colonel ever to the ship by mail either roger-dodger Konishi are a savage a delta believe ha ha Anita number one Anita early look she's in a sense I believe how will you belong [Applause] listen listen I'm also gonna miss witnessing cheetah sleepiness long about combat male since I walk ins in her chair ocean yeah America's changing we are open the Lala air quiet ard so connect beneath Ottawa is on your Instagram we have a nice husband in Opelousas our au visa line in love wasn't a she doesn't have our man I wasn't pegasi by la Vega money love watching now me she kind had them at all with Jimmy as well as just what you built on yourself that's the way love and what hold on me so yeah Fiat yeah thanks to or Chinese translators here and he said that he adapted from game one like he tried to counter Lynn on math one that didn't really work but he learned a lot about Lynn's play today and adapted on map three and two we saw that and infinite that marvelously and he expects one to zero to be in the final with him and basically gives for me no chance he said it must be must be one to zero so hopefully our Ukrainian friend can surprise everyone because that's our next match there's gonna be some commercials on the Chinese dream so get some breakfast or wherever you are whatever suits you at the moment Remo I think you need a coffee if it's a flat correctly so we go into a little break before we go into the second semi-final up next foggy one to zero stay tuned
