Paper Rex vs EDward Gaming | Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid

and on the other side of things EDG looked like they could bleed which normally in China wasn't really the case so I think we're going to have a brawl on our hands today and we're Kicking It Off on Sunset it's a real lipus test for both of these squads and kicking it off with a bit of pace we expect this from the side of paper x they're quickly taking control over this a site and it looks like that control is going to be given up EDG contend to play a retake there's going to be a wall to break on the way through but they are set up in their 5v5 as the spike goes down yeah one of the few teams that is still going to be running agage pretty much anywhere but especially in pistol rounds it's definitely going to be more of an irritation now EDG have held on to a lot of utility as they now look to set back into this retake yeah a lot of stuff still to work with that n already going out to clear an angle it's allowed them to focus towards the site but Monette does well to still grab one the paranoia a little deep EDG already bypassed it now catching multiple kills on nobody it's left all down to Divi emerging from the smoke he's only good for one that pistol round win goes to EDG respected the fact that they've sort of given up the site almost completely and just happy to play off that utility it was something mentioned on the desk and something mentioned in their own interviews this before they had that raw Firepower they came in as a team that okay yeah kongan he might be able to just frag you out the server smog is going to pull up a ridiculous clch but they're not going to have those setups to get their way back in like this and already a pretty clean start for them yeah a very clean start even from the GetGo they're playing retake on the site they're letting paperex take the space and then they're able to fight back through because they've kept their util they played the game the right way this time around and for EDG they get the reward we can see that they're stacked up in fact One pistol is all they're going to be carrying through to keep it light the rest of the squad investing very heavily and paperex have decided to pull through a lot of sheriffs but for the most part they haven't got a lot to brawl with open fights should favor their opponents unless the numbers Advantage come through and we are seeing the exact same strap from them same run through this time we're not going to get a sage wall down block off so it could be even easier for EDG to fight their way back through also EDG have even more utility because obviously they're the team of the so they now have still that parano multiple flashes like they're going to have to make a pretty severe mistake and again there's that initial sort of setup from chichu just to get them the information the only real danger is just aggression but it's so messy and doesn't manage to get anything and well they have managed to at least find themselves a kill but they need to get so much from this position even dying to a blast pack and the his late L may not be expect Ed but he needs to buy such a ridiculous amount of time and it isn't going to be happening now not quite close enough although the spike does quick in its pace and Ticking towards the end it's still two to zero for EDG as we said they only had the one pistol on Canan which does mean that there's going to be some small dent to their economy But ultimately nothing that you really need to fret about on the paperex side I'm curious to see where they come out of this one with because they're going to have all the money to work with all the credits full utility this is their way back in yeah this is where expectations become a little bit different now one good thing is that nobody has done an incredible job already to get that Hunter's Fury online so potential for some proactive takes and already they are setting up for a little bit of aggression in towards B main you can see the knife's been thrown through but that's all just a bait this is an attempt to try and hold rotations in onto that b site and that is exactly what it's done yeah again though From edg's perspective this is very similar to what they've been doing just fully stacking up towards one part of the map gambling that if they take a they'll play the retake obviously they've got some very well drilled retakes lined up for us and I think here's where we're going to get to see you know oh oh oh this is nasty for manette it's expecting to see something from EDG but they might not have much of a chance if they expect this one I will be flabbergasted a free kill for sure maybe even a second now they know his tricks it's time to F down oh they're going to have to look for that every single round in the meantime though the rest of the team has started to get a bit more aggressive div up close already doubles up their advantage not allowing this retake to even really begin leaving just a couple remaining and while the potential of forless might be gone but it is damn clean from the side of paperex yeah that's a round that they're going to be extremely happy with on the EDG side now something for them to worry about as they're playing retake a wanting to rotate quickly down that Avenue and now they've got to be worried about player being up top in fact even as we go into this replay this same position that monette's in is being pinged like crazy by the side of EDG they're telling each other this is where he is he's going to be there watch out on the rotates so everyone knows they pulled the trick out of their sleeve I don't think they'll get away with that again I'm really surprised they do it in the bonus round yes right all you kind of think that maybe that's something you say for a b but it is just that almost ridiculous confidence of paperex and let's be real if that's the only cool thing we see from in this map I'm disappointed yeah I'm surprised shocked and disappointed just like yourself for EDG on this defensive side bit of a change up this time not wanting to play the retake on a they got a bit aggressive haven't seen anyone and in fact thrash is coming in on the exact other side of the map as we can see oh I like this idea to try and punish actually caught one tag onto something but that's all they're going to get for it with the res in they might want to get aggressive but M being up close he couldn't decide on his weapon he'll only get the one but at least he got the one yeah they've still kept to even at least it's not the worst scenario looked like it could have gone a lot wi already M freak has been able to find another K Kan looking to try and rep back in but the timing couldn't be any worse and now smoggy is All That Remains one versus two I don't even think he has the ability to really clear out this player on the corner just trying to check but this Sage wall just being irritating and that's enough for him to have to back out of the round yeah had an eye test you know you probably can't jump that but I don't blame him for trying maybe he could get the element of surprise if physics was going his way unlucky for papere X they found themselves around and you know on IND G burning up the hunters Fury they commit quite a bit their econom is quite low as well this is not an ideal start as it looks like paperex might be able to get away with a little uh little lead now yeah and something just to mention obviously we have seen both these teams play it already a very close game for the side of EDG so I'm not overly surprised that we've seen this pick actually come out from payre and also the one time they played it in Pacific against gen they had a 102 defense so that's something you have to be worri of is they have already shown that they're going to be problematic with aggressive takes I think something's utility is you really going to have to watch out for that cuz I feel like gecko thrives when it comes to this map in particular and for now at least okay couple of hero weapons smoggy still having that rifle Guardian invested into for Khan as well but how much can they really do in this round papx have decided against even showing their presence towards this aite knowing like in most of these fights you're taking uh you have a heavy advantage in terms of weaponry and the one thing EDG can do is group up so they don't throw the flash early they sneak up on a they play it slow but EDG have rotated in just look at that mini map four players very close by Can Can on the way and they've made the right read the info denial as well they know there's one player towards spawn on the side of paperex that's that's not enough to really make a move D is disgusting he's making a lot of dangerous plays but in this round that might not have been the right call no if they can get the rifle back especially that that would be an extra pain that they have to deal with also every player being revealed no hidden LS can really be happening paranoia is good but nobody's actually able to capitalize off the counter flash is just a little bit too late and they are being picked apart just a couple remaining M freak has been able to bring back the deficit a little bit another as he's just popping head off the head but it gets a little bit shaky leaves it onto something and the one versus one and they'll be able to hold on in that two versus four but it was a little bit too close for comfort just a little bit I mean he definitely had time just one Sheriff shot away from disaster as I said coming out of last round you think that paperex have everything set up to claim a a decent injection of rounds find that one be in an economically advantageous position which don't get me wrong you still as a player like something with 7K but my God it's the reason I had this guy's Jersey at home should brought it yeah that was clean and taking out the show stop as well I feel like that would have been something dead for sure if he doesn't even just get it a split second earlier so a round saved for paperex but probably not something that wow uh the best part is he he was already on the wrong side of the Trap didn't go deep enough D good for one that's it though shut down and this round has crumbled pretty quickly if you're paper Rex I mean they might have shut down a showstopper in the last round but well it looks like K will be dropped again something tagged low HP on mind freak and they know where both of these players are EDG have all the info to play with it seems to be a formality at this point unless something has an incredible 3K up his sleeve that was one of the most audacious changes in Pace I think I've seen in a long time because think about how payak has been playing so far it's been slow defaults normally ending up on the a site this round they he just tries to TP into mid and the thing is EDG have been playing a lot around that mid area for the rotations for retakes so it's interesting that he thought there was a gap there I'm not sure what piece of information they had that they believed that that was going to be clear enough for him to take such a risk but hasn't worked out something still ever dangerous even when not playing on that jet see if he can make this one at least a little bit costly he's looking for the fight he knows that planting at this stage allowing them to retake together won't quite work out and while smoggy is patient as he hunts down something in the end yeah again right call to try and thin the herd a little bit but this is a head scratcher of a play I mean the sound Q is there the kill is is easy to claim with the smoke close I guess the idea is even just thinking to the round before if I'm not mistaken we had 3 a 2B that that was a gap in the previous round it wasn't this time so an unlucky gamble as we end up 3 to three quick check in with the economy sees that we've got enough money for everybody to buy utility is going to be pretty healthy and something has got an operator hey he's stealing this one out of the book of kkan the the gecko op that was something we saw back on bind not too long ago for now though back to the slower style default maybe expecting a little bit of aggression especially with how easily they've got into the post plant I really don't mind the operator just allow him to sit on an angle and try and shut things down and mind freak again he's had a decent amount of success and some of these early fights for now though need you doing well just to try and slow the pace a little bit using their smokes and again you can see it's it's basically a retake setup over on that asite again just with a little bit of extra info off the trip yeah the fake or the attempt to sell a fake on the B site is decent especially when you've got a Viper pit online they can't afford to give this ground up and play behind the wall as they play in front of the util on a price is paid smoggy down and a null command used for paper Rex as they claim control of this site presumably unchecked remember also a Viper pit for post plan and this op is still lurking around there's a lot of red flags flying for EDG he might find the space though they don't even realize he's here because he was already past the angle initially chichu at least finds a slight Gap already though thrash thrown out will give an awful lot of information they're going to spot at least one player in that back line and look at the vi slowly on the wraparound he was following it but the shots might have just given his position away the operator going to hold the Gap in a wall you'd expect something to hit this shot all day long and he won't miss three kills already to his name little bro going to be sent out just to try and claim some extra space but for now still a lot that EDG need to do and not a lot of time to play with kkan the last man standing and he will meet the same fate as the rest well I expected something to do well something on the op but uh I wasn't really seeing that coming that one down yeah actually I'm going to I'm trademarking that one but EDG calling a pause after that and then you can understand why this is just uh one man finding all the space in the world despite some decent plays for them to try and break their way back through I think the uh harassment from Divi played a big role as well the fact that he follows up on the thrash takes the angle fires a few shots and he just runs away just lets them know I'm behind you by the way and now they've got to worry about that it slows them down it gives time for the op to position the shots are there every time so you can't see at the moment because there's a timeout but I'm looking at Kong with a glass Cannon operator now it would be a little bit of a bold call to try and have that through into this round to try and do something on the defense but I'd love to see him go toe-to-toe with something cuz we are talking about two of the best operated players in the world I think Khan has been someone that has consistently been mentioned with this gun unfortunately for them finances are not amazing they would have to take a risk that that's the thing it's whether they want to try and bridge the gap of him being who he is see this is the thing though uh this round just might not be the one for for it just because you don't have any teammates that have a rifle they don't have anything to back you up so unless it's even a gamble on the defense cuz you're going to sit on B with that op if they go a like they have what are you going to do H it's I don't mind it because if you lose it the cost is just too high to pay instead he won't cuz it's Kong well that's the theory right but he's five and seven so he's got a guardian he's got a stinger a guardian he's not sure yet and he's sticking on the guardian okay so a decent rifle to fight with some range potential and nothing but sheriffs to back him up it's not a round I expect EDG to win in but it is one that carries a lot of Danger on the side of paper x because we've seen before how strong EDG were on a retake with weaker weapons again they've switched up there's been so much presence on that aite that they gambled in that direction and papx have had solid reads so far one Defender chichu he has been the point of contact in almost every single round but an after plant even a Viper expended here you mentioned that some of these rounds got close well payes don't want to allow that to happen again yeah with finding a kill popping a heal on his teammate as well everyone's sitting pretty and there's still some util to play with going through that Viper pit being on low HP with the sheriff is the only thing worse than having to take that fight out in the open when there's this many rifles on the other side they're trying to play the RNG but the wall is helping blocking absorbing some of those shots even though there's a gap in it that EDG are now going to use as they make their way through there's a TP out of out and a third kill real chance for EDG to fight back in this round it's something left low HP on smoggy with the Decay and it's an OP to work with for something now the heals come through that op needs to land it shot the time already running can something even save the rifle at this point he's got to run fast and looks like he'll just about be caught yeah they've got rid of him that's so much damage done by EDG and honestly I I don't know how howong managed to do as much as he did pushing into a Viper pit finding a gap and getting three kills off the of it again that's another Low by round for EDG okay well that one yeah fair enough any paranoia into a shrouded step like that two very quick shots when you're you know essentially nearsighted not not bad at all yeah the thing is though it's whether or not they're able to now capitalize on it cuz they have done that a couple of times where they' made things a little bit more costly either way though again it's going into this slow push towards the B side a death ball coming out from the side of payx they have managed to sort of play with their opponents bear in mind they've only seen M freak now they'll have the information and can finally start getting that rotation in K Kan is going to be nowhere near the action and little bur is going to be making sure that plant is in I don't think they're going to be able to deny oh no they have okay that's something that will at least bu a bit of time yeah no operator to play with for paperex after losing it last round EDG on the retake canan's going to be a big factor for them if they can open up some of these Sidelines have to get past the Viper wall the util down from Omen and they're actually passing it on the paper side running it down taking fight after fight with nothing but success and we talked about this operator well it's now all that's left of edg's defensive side this retake will not happen and he might not get out of here just about making it around into the spawn but they're hot on his heels he wants to take some shots but none of them are landing 5 HP and a classic to close it out unlucky for can can he has that up he's on the wrong side and by the time he gets to the right side there's no one left to help him yeah they they've done really well with just these early round pushes like note that this is different to what we've seen from payre already a lot of their Eco rounds have gone towards the B site but more importantly they've sent M freak there pretty much every single round so logically when EDG see him taking that first fight they go well this is the lurk again this is the guy on the other side of the map we're not going to pull any rotations and then the full execute comes in and by that point you have just too much control available for paperex they are doing a great job in these sort of mid- round calls switching things up each time and thus far EDG haven't really been able to catch the smoke of paper x well Mind Freak denied what would have been a terrible Thrifty for the paper x side if EDG found it nobody's not getting out of here not a chance you had something on the op win around with a 4K and close out around in that 1 V one papx have had a couple swing rounds go their way by a narrow margin this one though it's been widened up a bit mine freak on the flank beautiful play and good connection from M yet weaker weapons for EDG and now barely any of them left standing one of the main ones being howong who it looks like mine freak has some Spidey senses tingling cuz he knew he was on his way back through they picked them apart again this time the Low by not looking likely and you want more SMY again just trying to catch smoke he doesn't even realize where his opponent's gone just trying to catch them and will finally meet his opponent of M freak it took him long enough to get there it won't matter 7 to three paperex after the first couple of rounds have been nigh on dominant and for a team that as said we watched them kind of get battered when it came to the game versus geneng they've come into this I think this morning saying yeah we're at a 6 out of 10 I'm sure EDG don't feel that way yeah yeah and even if we can argue that EDG have had some closer rounds some opportunities to pull it off it it doesn't matter when you're facing down the barrel of a 73 score line it's time to show up here and now now a big round for EDG not just in their in their buy and their credits but also in their alt orbs they've got a lot online to work with this has to be their safety net this time nobody is going to be battling once more for that be control you can see an immediate rotation from EDG just being able to get that little bit of control is enough for them to try and just pull rotations the retakes over the last few rounds just haven't been working they need to try and get some of those early fights in and they'll win one k con's removed mine freak he has been the biggest thorn in their side thus far I like this position from smoggy good shots last round the nade is down but they're a little disjointed the 1 V one taken against howong doesn't go well for EDG no smokes left to play with no from the Shadows and M freaks right back into the fight the shot doesn't land either and can can sprays and finds bullets coming back at him from mine freak who was dropped moments earlier this is a disaster for EDG they're losing players but oh nobody he doesn't want to lose this round holding strong in the flank from smog he's good it's only manette left he's made it to a he'll find a plant but he doesn't know where these last two players are forsaken unfortunately won't be able to join him low HP and a hunter's Fury they're watching to see if he's going to go pushing round the back but instead these angles slowly being cleared looking to try and pair back up as he just sits patiently waiting in the corner not quite looking the right direction if a wraparound comes in but actually both players meeting back up the time starting to tick down they really need to get a move on paranoia through tpd now to get into a much stronger after plant Monet though getting tagged further and further they need to get someone on this and he's just buying that time ever further I think this one's going to be desperately close in fact I don't think he might have this at all I think it's going to go off it's going to be the clutch again and they just can't find themselves around less than a second in it Tom like we say no matter how tight that margin is paper Rex steam further into the lead and with a Red Bull clutch from a player who was low who missed the first couple swings he couldn't land the head shot and it looked like they had it but in the end it's not even that time that cost one second like N3 of a second but that's the thing they were very very slow at clearing a lot of the angles and and I love the repos from Monet he realizes in that corner decent chance to get overwhelmed someone can get on the diffuse instead he just looks to take those fights and well nobody again this time M freak is waiting these battles have not been going their way and something roaming with that operator ready to clear and while yeah paranoia will catch him but no chance for a trade it's not even an ability that gets him out of there it's literally just the the straight up take your knife out and run now canan's gone through mid there is a lur waiting around here but it's waiting for the B main aggression not for the mid push they weren't expecting this the timing a little off and the shots didn't land initially but mettes recovered it nicely Mind Freak down big player for the side of paperex he's been going huge in a lot of these rounds now they have to close it out without him but it's a 4v2 it's only chichu and how be easy still in the same spot he paranoid from just moments ago the initial fight needed to be cleaner completely left out on his own he's had a couple of amazing moments so far but this would have to be the best of them M no respect straight through leaves it all on one and it is dominant a 93 half for payre coming in onto Sunset doesn't get much better than that no it it really doesn't I like the idea as well to knife close they suspect he's there swing it with a shorty and even grab the head shot kill for their trouble paper Rex just looking so clean this this is just a matter of timing the paranoia doesn't come out I think the idea was to play off the contact but they just didn't expect it to no we've seen them play it once within the regular season and they absolutely battered gen who obviously ended up winning the series so not a great sign but now they can look to set up Khan a player that we already know can ruin any story set up by the PX side it's not happened yet but we know that they can have that rise back up and even just getting themselves I I feel like back in the seat a little bit ready for bind cuz even though EDG is strong on that map I'd never want to play paperex on bind so it's a scary Battlefield to take on this squad in for EDG a slow approach much different than what we saw from papx who leaned heavily on finding open space on the a site which they did so often this time paperex are leaving a open looking more so to fight into middle and that's exactly where they're going to find that scrap already good stuff as the heal comes through that initial fight almost negated it forsaken hadn't fallen and if howong didn't find the kill on something now the numbers are thin slightly and for en they can take advantage of this same sized map for Less players to defend it I'd still feel worried pushing into M freak he's definitely been the player to watch so far but with the push coming in from D there a good chance they're bed in now there is a trip but that means that he can just keep the rest of his teammates sat within this site still a paranoia available as well for M that could cause real issues it slowed them down but they found mine freak and they know that monette's around here they've got to deal with him they want to get this fight oh in and manette with a beautiful shot and now a crossfire angle Devi easily closes that out his flank saving the round and paperex sealing the coffin of EDG if anything that pistol win puts them on double digits I'm I am starting to think that there should be more maps where PX play double controller because the obviously we've seen mon sort of take over the role of Jin going into the Rays for the majority of the maps he plays but he just looks so clinical so com when he goes back over to this Omen well let's be real I think M freaks Viper all right I think he's I think he's doing okay he's always been a decent controller you know at the best of times I'll make you excited oh wall up right away interesting angle for Forsaken and he's already got one no reload he wants another oh I love to see the outlaw Thrive and forsaken looking beautiful D it this is the perfect round they don't have shields it's an easy kill if you're rocking into a no Shield fight and obviously h no chance blinded up in the corner and taken down yeah they had a paranoia come through the wall just to make sure that there wasn't really any opportunity for the player on the other side to survive that's now eight rounds in a row for paperex and well there needs to be the same just to get them back in the game that's how desperate a position we find EDG in at this point they are going to have the bite investment available but I'm actually to be honest looking at the weapons on the other side for pay breaks actually scares me more than a normal round cuz you got a judge you got an outlaw you got an SMG that means they're probably going to do something spicy I'm curious to see how much damage forsaken will be able to Output this is the thing a tag from him makes any of these other weapons deadly but he's playing a much more passive role in this round util dispensed on a and the rotate around towards top mid it'll be a much much slower round but he will look to maintain that control over middle of fight in fact onto chichu seems inevitable as mine freak is caught in this corner there was no way out for him good Kill by K yeah that's a that's a big fight to have cuz it also gives them a lot of space over onto the site Outlaw in position and the slow somewhat deterring the players on the attack they're going to start falling back but D has now retaken that space and we'll just wall it off even if it's just a a little piece of information that's something that can be brought through they are now going to start building up though the thought on edg's side is okay well if they W this it probably means there's no one here and they can get over the top of it that's what I was wondering like it seems like that left side's jumpable but they still hear the sound Q with how close they were and forsaken hasn't quite managed to get the Damage Done on the outlaw and the flank through by chichu is being watched he's beautifully positioned but the jumping judge wasn't quite anticipated even still that's the only kill for paperex so far and it may well be the only one they find both players on 45 HP nice and uniform but it's about I okay I was going to say about to become one player never mind div perfectly dodged that but not the second time yeah and on the other side something has just decided to go for the save so a good clean start as well and I I I do like the fact that even though EDG are down they're definitely not playing like it they're taking their time making sure they clear everything properly trying to play with the rotations of paperex and really giving themselves the best possible chance to start what will be a a mountain comeback if they manag to do it for something it's whether or not he really wants to go for anything here financially the team could afford it he's already going to take the head off of smoggy and just look to try and fall back send out wingman to try and just deter them a little bit from pushing and hey made things at least a little bit more costly M didn't have to go running in towards mid either and risk there being a player there back was Secure I think this is very nice by chichu uh again the fact that you have a jumping judge coming around and he's kind of low it's uh it's unlucky to say the least of it but for EDG we need some big rounds to fall into place right now 11 to four if paperex win this one it's more or less bind that we're going to be thinking about for EDG attack side has seen some elements of the paper Rex aggression this time we might get a little bit more straight up mid pushing four players around this part of the map a is left wide open and they don't get contact so they fall back but it allows them to be ready on beam much much quicker than EDG should be ready for yeah there are so many players ready and waiting they've been able to take out at least a little bit of that utility but I think the hesitation is is right from EDG they're just going to stop I think they saw so much utility flying through on the other side but can't it it just hasn't hit the same this game something given an opportunity to take that fight and with your jewelist your entry your space taker down it's not going to get any easier now the a site is open for business but I feel like someone almost needs to be left behind to try and catch some someone on the rotation cuz if you allow payes to retake I don't like those odds and well nobody is at least going to be able to find one before trying to back away oh no oh wow so this is a big change cuz you know paper Rex obviously happy to play retake on a from the start of the round in a 5v5 in a 5v4 without Kon even better but now the numbers have changed hands a little bit the advantage no longer sits towards paper x and there's two players on the B site still with a lurk from nobody active in this has to be huge for and he won't get anything these last two players even splitting up oh this could be dangerous they don't check the close right corner which I mean you wouldn't really think to check this late on in the game well the punishment dished out firmly nobody massive round he's had some big rounds like this before but we can't rely on that every single time Tom 11 to five oh that that was huge from him just taking some of that space back into mid being able to fight the player in Mark and then win a jeel I think there's two players peeking in from Top mid that really shouldn't have gone their way and he's pulled out a hero play that has given them at least a little bit of an opportunity Alex is going to take a moment to try and talks things through with the team because that's the thing even EDG just getting themselves a little bit pumped up we have seen this team pull off miracle there's no way there's just there's just no way like if you wanted to throw there's just no way I mean he's he has a thrash for for next round maybe he buys it now runs a weaker weapon and then just decides to use thrash next round he'll be back contact he's going to do it this is's he's crazy on defensive side as well it's a risk maybe he can save it if things go wrong but really The Hope here the gamble is he's able to find some serious value and as we can see well EDG were backing off and it looks like they won't be coming near beam oh never mind the danger zone is being entered by chichu he's going to go for a pick pushed so far up but both have gone down immediately that was the thing either you had to get value with the operator or save it this is the worst of Both Worlds as he has gone down with the operator they know exactly where the players are rotating to as well that's whether or not yeah I was about to say I I think EDG have been so calm in just going for these rotations claiming space elsewhere and kkan now already going to be stopping any chance of rot even going to shut the door on them now what that might mean is unless it's been thrown away they might actually be able to save the operator it's actually a very nice recovery I suppose they carry this weapon through to the next round that I have nothing negative to say about it it is just the the risk that they run of it being dropped of one of them picking it up or of that weapon going down and if uh if EDG decided to take B then you're not getting it back it's it's gone but bulldog and an OP carried through to the next round this is the idea like I said D needed one kill he didn't get it but he's dead now so he's got a res to work with manette might not have the from the Shadows but I doubt that's going to ruin their plans so realistically they have a lot to work with you know know maybe he'll get a kill with the operator I don't think he's in the right place at the right he's a little far away if there was a neon I'd give him a chance but uh no one's getting to his neck of the woods anytime soon mind freak oh you're in danger they put the paranoia through but I don't think anybody's really pushing too far on it m freak will already get one there how much more can he make this costly my freak is just hitting every single shot and okay he loses the gun but even the extra credits will put him in a spot where he could buy a rifle for the next round anyway so they're just throwing they're throwing cuz why wouldn't they just go for it when you've got M freak on your team 2v5 just go for it just go for it look at this guy it's unbelievable it's get that one in a replay oh yes oh I like oh oh he even blocked the nade our observers are fantastic thank you guys so much for showing us that that's so cool just body block it yeah just block it duh come on take the kills 11 to six the thing is though the economy doesn't really matter so much for EDG they have they've built up a lot of extra cash how long even with 8,000 credits post bu and if they lose two rounds they're done anyway so ultimately it was worth trying to remove that extra Weaponry something have the operator as you said the alts have come online you have to think that sooner rather than later PEX are going to eventually get this one over the line but for EDG they are now starting to build into this still with a showstopper Hunters Fury for this round and again just this slow tempered approach to trying to gradually take space they're not really giving any information over onto the pay side and while something one of the players who could find it is just sat with his operator in single-handedly maintaining the control of the a site where they've been so happy to play retake before something's got it on lock down but EDG are not looking to take any risks towards that side of the map instead it's the B site that they're currently targeting now there's some utility being expanded to run that clock down 40 seconds as we're going to see oh even a deep flash thrown through they're they're really trying to stop this squad I guess send them back to a or at least make it so that they have to Blitz in and with the showstopper that's not really a problem for them risky okay it's ended up fired at a corpse and con con doesn't stand a chance now Divi can do some serious work orz online we mentioned that earlier they'll try to retake the body on the side of EDG pushing forward and taking every single kill and with something only now making it to the bite now it's time to save it's time to save time isn't it uh it is something I I I don't think he's going to go for this but you never really know he is just looking to escape back out of there now it's interesting cuz again you see the knife coming through from forsaken that's why they start just blitzing their utility and they knew that they were coming in that direction but the showstopper taking the space and and then just solid trade work from EDG it also seems like every time we've had an operator for the defensive side it has not been in the right place both teams have managed to avoid the Superstar operator player for the other side and now I'm just looking at howong a might be about to clear this gun for fre but he's got Spidey senses I don't know why he turned around but it doesn't matter how long's going to get the kill anyway another round building credits for EDG and a four round streak on this attack side this is starting to it look possible yeah you know a large part of why I started to lose hope is just the promise of PRX on the defensive side but oh the the paper dinosaurs ain't doing too well EDG are looking fantastic and momentum's definitely on their side sure the the ult economy is swinging towards paperex for now and that is kind of all they need right just a couple trickle down rounds and they're they're good to go on map number two but from what started out as a very dominant feeling map a couple of close rounds for EDG that could have swung it a little bit more in their favor but it it just seemed like we were going to leave this with the idea that oh EDG need to wake up for map two looks like they've woken up for half two at least this is a good sign oh it's a great sign as well with different players like how long nobody all starting to step up to the plate and this round we do have investment again from payre it's not everything they've got they will still have a buy for the next round but they've got a few Bulldogs to play with the AL still available and the Drone again I I think EDG are doing a fantastic job of either using kkan or nobody to just sell a ruse they start throwing utility be be a boombot be a drone and just get them to stick around in that position even catching him with the knife okay maybe that wasn't intentional you can look at the other side of the map the only player there is going to be Mona and they're going to get the information finally that they are not around this position anymore but they haven't cleared nobody and he has been a nuisance in the past he in such a good spot but that Smoke's faded at just the wrong time if it stuck around a little longer maybe he could sneak his way through the snake in the grass has been found for paperex as we said a lot to work with one is a res in terms of ultimates Viper pit online if mind fre finds one kill this could get very dangerous for EDG flashes a lot of them coming chiu's way but the players take a minute howong on the corner with them they're doing well EDG are holding their ground and it's only manette left to try to pull this back swinging into smoggy was that one hell of a round 11 to8 en G three rounds behind on a map that not long ago was looking lost yeah they they they lost the pistol and but we thought this was over 11 to3 down and again payre are going to have to take their second pause and you're right like you see the flashes come through I think there might have been a couple of players blinded either by their own U or by a counter flash on the other side I think it was I think it came out from smoggy just buying enough time and then just having that firing squad nobody coming in from a different direction and oh they've managed to this out two buy rounds as well EDG ain't going to be playing an Eco anytime soon that's for sure no no they have uh they have saved up plenty of cash viers pit immediately onto the B site now as said it's been a great job from EDG with the push and pull they've been selling fakes with different players in different rounds leaving different lurks making things awkward for the side of payx read but with shutting down B main unless they're going to go through the Viper spit and try and fight mine freak they have to try in different avenue now it does look like there's potential that they're going to try and push mid a little bit more knowing that there can't be as much of a heavy investment in this round and the door being closed actually somewhat gives them that space you can see forsaken has already repositioned to try and watch towards the smoke but instead again they're just slowly taking control across the map I do like edg's approach I like devise as well the wall is great for control but he's got an angle up above it howong didn't even realize he was shot at just there the silencer I guess really working for him it doesn't look like there'll be any punish did see the players move up towards mid though so the rotates already underway from Dubai and forsaken is locking it down double flash through paranoia is good and monette's able to follow up now positioned a little closer as Divi gets there he's not even needed chichu the last man of alive and he's got a one versus five straight into the op first time something's really had that success with the op defensive side they finally found the round it's it's almost the kill that matter the lead like 51 I got him guys the op was worth it again though I I feel like that's another scenario where pay PR have done well to go okay we'll set something up to have space initially we've got the Vipers pit on the other side we have faith in M freak where else can they go mid and that's where they have that onew punch of forsaken of M the double flashes as you mentioned at the time just basically making it so that it created some awkward disjointed fights K come way out in front of everybody else and payes do well to just trade things in the end leaving EDG now after what was the five round streaks and real hope of them turning this map around they need another four in a row to take this to overtime and for them they're going to give the coach another opportunity to try and switch things up try and almost give them just that little bit of extra cuz that's the thing I think this been the first round where they haven't been able to do their sort of like a main B main fakes because Viper pit shut it down now that's not going to be there anymore for paper x so they still have a very good opportunity to turn this back well four opportunities for paperex four very stressful rounds ahead for EDG this is where things get a little bit more real you know we talk a lot about those comebacks and how difficult it can be in general if you lose a map 134 you know it can suck you feel like you were shut out you can go into the next map and say guys we didn't even play that you know no one was awake it's fine we got the next one when you make that comeback when you spend all this time fighting your way back in and then the doors closed on your face just as you get there it it really really sucks buty EDG have been there before as well they know how to battle back from those mental positions that won't be a real challenge now slow through and a deep orb this is paperex telling EDG we're going to fight for this control over B in this round yeah I I think it was an adaptation that was needed just allowing them to have a lot of this control to L execute has definitely been causing issues something I think he's just jump peaking deep a like his positioning has been able to give them a lot of control but they are going to look to try and force him back the Drone again being utilized just to try and clear this position something just has no fear though he's ready for someone to try and take that risk but it has pulled a player further forward the problem though is that this B main stack up is still here yeah the second player is not expected of course it's Mind Freak although the poisons might be off he still got his rifle ready to fight and K Kan with another death on the board he's struggled in this series but M freak most certainly hasn't and with forsaken dropping nobody it's looking like this might be map two already on the minds of EDG chichu with another clutch that he won't win and mine freak on [Music] the [Music] [Music] n [Music] with gecko we've also seen them run a similar SC comp with a sky but obviously sky is kind kind of gone downhill a little bit so they've gone with the fade instead but these are all agents that they've run on this map before it's just this combination that I think is a little bit different of course something on this map on Raina it doesn't why it doesn't matter the map I'll be honest he's always terrifying yeah something is just an element of of his own I think Raina in general my least favorite agent but there's certain players that can make me enjoy watching her life was one and something certainly is another good control over the sight but long long as left open for the side of paperex they don't know that EDG have two players still stacked up there but it looks like they want to take some control of their own pushing through the spawn smoke in towards elbow players caught them though the re rotate through the spawn has led to a very awkward position these these Defenders are scattered but they can crunch it's left it still back down to a 3v3 already another kill coming through paperex that W key hasn't been let go for the majority of this round and now with an advantage device still left behind I don't even think they know that he's here with the smoke fading it's a impossible Crossfire to come back from chaos in the pistol round but of course that's where paperex live yeah chaos is exactly the right word I mean that was a hard one for me looking at all the players on the mini map I can see everything and it's you're still trying to put together the pieces as they chop and change different parts of the map control but I can only imagine what that looks like from edg's perspective you just do not know what the next step from paper X's dance is going to be 1 to zero this attacking side has found their legs now they've got some rifles to play with one pistol and that's going to be on something while EDG don't decide to invest very much at all two sheriffs and they'll try to find Value by taking that orb early on B perhaps even push down on bathroom to grab another we'll see he's just going through it isn't it yeah of course he is it was surprised by that the opponents definitely weren't they already waiting for something to take a risk of course he was only with a pistol in this round Cove actually going out just to try and clear the close angles and above it they are taking some casualties and actually a weapon has been found chichu though is desperately low on health can he find anything more yes he can he's already got a second stuck reloading though a little bit unlucky a nice attempt from chichu and again a round that shouldn't even have been remotely close no no not even not even 1% of what we saw there I mean this is just ridiculous EDG certainly have some fight left in them and the best part about it is that one of the most valuable ultimates comes online because of that chinchu now has an orbital strike to play with this could be big for this squad I think for PX they've got to be kicking themselves sure the initial fight something goes ahead of the smoke gets caught off guard but he had a pistol it's whatever yeah ideally You' have another player beside whatever we can look past it but everything from that point forward was a domino that never should have fallen oh luckily for them forsaken did also do a lot of damage so he's going to have the Reckoning online something is exciting me with an outlaw on Arena you're talking about that I'm looking at mon with the Bucky it's it's a deadly combination first kill going the way but the space already been taken and of course the Reckoning just gives him all the information look how close up this man is going to be able to get just cause them issues this by not a particularly good one but now in the after plant very very scary oh yeah this is where EDG can't really afford to swing an angle out in the open there's not much of a choice looks like orbital strike being online early is going to be used to try and give them an advantage but it pushes the bookie forward into their arms and that's not where you want this to be up close and personal manette has a bit of a timing to worry about these players on the other side I mean if one of them sees him he's in a lot of trouble but he's made it out something's grabbed another from far away and it's as easy as could be already tagging up con con with a classic well that is quite the third round for paper Rex after what I saw in the second and in the first I don't I don't know where where I am I'm I'm losing it he just got to kill with a Bucky and a classic in the same round versus a fall by this these are the rounds as well that just shake you like you're going into a map that has been strong for you within your region strong for you historically EDG but you've just been owned immediately by an outlaw above in a classic like you can't really feel good about a round like that it's so ridiculous as long as a teammate's done damage or they're on half Shields this guy's able to one shot you and immediately get out of there I mean you're already moving quick with an outlaw it's already buffed but he's just going doubling down on it paper x 3 to zero but EDG managed to upset them down to just one player left with a lot less and oh oh he's gone through that's perfect like a SC out of Oceans 12 the smoke is howong managed to get one the boom bot's done a significant amount of damage but he's still in the corner they hav't spotted him still just surviving now chichu found another as well I I I don't know how these rounds are going down in the fashion they are how on still alive how has no one cleared this man he's been in the same position allly that was a MasterCard Thrifty by the way guys that was how's the M there's the Master Card Thrifty these guys are all right with weak weapons it looks like they're better why do they even buy rifles look at this 20 hp just once again 20 HP and another player comes out he misses the first shot immediately correct this is disgusting it's disgusting can't believe it's filthy you can't you can't do that like well then unable that is one way to get on the board um yeah cool I'm going to try and forget that happen and just move on with my life both teams now do have a buy man going to be taken the space this time he is caught but not really anybody available to capitalize off the back of it and they're using that Cove again just to take initial space they're not stopping though running straight in onto smoggy I I think that was M battling for the sport it was he was going all the way through he's being caught but mine fre catching nobody this is a big kill they've got an extra angle to fight from that someone has to deal with and howong this man's an enigma nobody's ever looking at him when he swings an angle I don't get it but at least it's down to chichu low HP on mind freak and forsaken but the post plant is the real danger they can run that clock down pinking one at a time and ensuring that spike is not diffused four to one for paper Rex surely this is where we return to normality H good one yeah two show sters online I don't know what the hell I'm thinking don't foret the empress as well oh wow oh yes you're so well to be fair it is something you're actually right it is the one and only time that actually makes sense I can't like how do just run through into a Molotov to try and get that kill it is like who can make the riskiest play of the round and at the moment I I feel like Adam Master's event opportunities you need two wins and you get top four and those guys are just having having fun you know it's something you said earlier on the fact is you know en you lose this you go okay well paperex maybe they are actually legit you know it's the region is sick sure gen had a managed to best them in the final but it is what it is you can still estimate them as a top team you you can end up coming up against L with potential elimination on the line uh that's not a comfortable position for anyone to be in that's the thing there are no easy games here goes mon yet again it's a modm head shot stoer he's taken down nobody and himself in the look look at where something is though he's just walked out onto the site he's just got no fear even going to get himself healed back up K must be surprised and finally smoggy will put him down but the trade immediate an advantage once again Garner for paperex and the remaining players going to have to hope for a timing but actually timing could go either way it it's all going to be on to whether or not M freak is looking in the right direction and both win their battles it's now left on to just DVI but one player is very low and he's already going to clear him oh D's gone out ahead of it as well that's expected and howong lands the shot this time someone was looking at him but he still wins the fight as a round will be found for EDG that Gap not going to be extending paper rex have an opponent hot on their heels I mean the other thing for paperex as well coming into this round you've got some a weak this really it's just Monette after going down so early in the last one uh but the reality is he should be in a pretty decent position Still rocking a well actually I saw a judge bought up earlier he's going to go for a a stinger but the weaknesses aren't too massive it's more so the ult economy sm's got a showstopper and nobody has a hunter Fury to play with big ultimates for that defensive side big safety nets to fall into still just nervous seeing something pick up on the operator on that attack we've already seen the outlaw now you get the big brother the thing is you know although the damage is going to be lower on the outlaw right kind of need the head shot on the swing you're going to be it's going to be much harder to post up on those angles with the op to get in and get out and we saw him if you're not something true for most people that that I should always put that in front of it for most people that would be the issue we've watched him do it on gecko in the last on attack side just singlehandedly take out a team so now he actually has some movement benefit even still though EDG really needing to string a couple of rounds together it's been an Eco and a problematic round of M no trouble finding that opener Nightfall has deafened their opponents making things that a little bit more problematic in terms of working out how far forward they've gotten the high tide has cleared so much space and also have the Cove but now that utility Fades they don't have much to play with the toour in fact I don't think they have any smokes left trying to sell it as a pump fake but it doesn't look like EDG are buying it orbital strike smog is in the open but he's caught one that's Spike down and the ult used the hunter Fury finding targets oh they're so low with SMY down the numbers on the side of EDG are good they still have a 2v2 with 10 seconds left all they have to do is deny the spike being picked up and howong he gives the space 6 seconds as they make it towards the sight what a shot how long how did he manage that he's wanted off the clock alone and if that came down to a One V one with something I don't think he's winning it but he avoided it all together beautiful play I I'll be honest I was scared when he let the spike go well when he let it go I was like that that's a risk that I don't know if it's worth taking but hey he was ready for them to try and plant in the safest spot possible and just hits a crazy War back this is just a fear fact just what something can do even in the most awward fights possible again though the rounds the EDG have won is off the back of pistols and two 1 V one clutches out of that man on your screen four to three yeah looks like a really close score line but well they they've been hanging on to that Cliff's Edge in the start of this we hear some sheriffs firing off you know there's weaknesses there but they also know the big gun was saved through they've spotted it they've taken manette down as well for something he's not going to find any players out in the open giving free kills away and that op I don't know if you're going to be able to save it through to the next he'll have to create his own opportunities back towards that b site they go Corner held so something that would need to be hard cleared from the side of paper brex and the read already in from EDG third player already into position I feel like there'd have to be some pretty big errors over on the other side you can see the passive angles that are being held the knife even going to give them a fair amount of information they know there's a couple of players waiting here even ready to invest the orbital strike if they need it they want to try and make this one clean it has been a lot of close rounds even still though something gets the opener but is there anything more to be had it's not looking too likely and how he's still alive here finally the dancing something will go down and K Kan Rises to the occasion it's 44 obviously not the strongest buy for pay brecks but it's more important for EDG to finally have a clean round well 100% yeah I think the orbital strike here saves them so much trouble is you got something going out but he's essentially alone when he emerges from long these players can't come to meet him D was low after a Spam very quickly taken down k hitting some shots that could be the confidence Builder as well you he had a really rough first map one of the tougher maps for him so if he goes down early just trying to get an off pick you lose so much in the late round if smoggy goes down well it's all right you you're not using not losing any massively important utility and that's if he goes down some control over bathroom and beong the extremities of the map belong to EDG but paperex have their sight set on moving through this a site which was another element of why the rotates come through cuz there's always this utility there from howon still going they all the way outside of showers and that would be Mind Freak down a big loss in the early round howong fighting within the cages within the Reckoning and he'll lose his life for it maybe a little bit of an overextension but with one controller down and for second utility already expended this doesn't leave them with much in fact they're going to go pushing something trying to do everything on his own and now with them pretty much boxed in I I don't know if pay breaks have a hope in Hell of getting out of this certainly not if they play aggressive we can see that with the crossfire the triple Crossfire backing up by an OP but they've made the right call instead High tailing it to the other side of the map where they could be able to get a plant down it's the post plant that's worrying the advantage here goes to EDG four versus two at least long control is going to be sought after but a shot Dart well placed puts div down to 60 another disadvantage to play with the TP was h smoggy is the one tping that's a little bit of a head scratcher with the operator but he's holding down that control I guess we'll be going in to take control of hooka it's the doubt as well like he's not necessarily moving too quickly it's just the doubt in his opponent's mind they have to face the other direction as well Damage Done by div not quite enough forsaken needs to pull off an absolute Miracle on low HP and it's not going to be happening this time out after being blitzed in the first few rounds EDG now Take the Lead and that's the road to recovery we were hoping to see for this defensive side 41 down to 54 and a lot of things going right for them they're starting to get that control over the map and even seeing nobody nobody right now has one kill he had so many high impact plays on the previous map but they're still able to put these rounds on the board and I think howong setup really there hasn't been a solution from the side of paperex a couple times they've been able to send manette in and he's able to make it ahead of these traps just barely dodging them I can almost hear the alamon playing in the background but now they're starting to get get caught because these traps are moving they're in different positions each time and that setup just isn't one that you can go blitzing into which is what papx very much like to do and it's what they're going to do again early n over the top will actually clear out the trip trying to adapt themselves again though don't have any ultimates online showstopper and the null command the trip the second one though is superb Kong Kong going to get free kill howong again though an audacious attempt trying to catch them off guard chichu not taking the same risk waiting for a little bit of support and already they're going to counter out anything on the other side with that no command yeah no danger of those more aggressive flashes coming through or of something taking your sight away not learing onto them no smokes for Mind Freak as he's down and out and divide does well to at least find one but that player is reible and well that could pull D out into the open to attempt to deny down to a four versus one with 11 HP and he's even detected got ahead of the op at least so damage will be done but there's still three more players waiting for him spike in forsaken's possession at least and now I've ran out of positives he was trying to pull a rotation with the TP but nobody never left that B it's going to get a free Jewel though they starting to get a little bit messy for the side of EDG they've given up a couple of K not quite knowing where he is the time is the issue and more so nobody on the flank like to get anything here you'd need pretty much a miracle once more just trying to find a safe place to plant and that doesn't exist nobody's going to be coming in from behind Chicho with the wall bang and it will be EDG extending that lead even further it's 5 in a row the timeline looking convincing they've come up with Solutions and this comp gives them so much to fall back on the old out of K con you can see why you want him alive late into the round even as he gets resed back up immediately lobs out the knife and finds exactly where that final player is nullifying any potential for forsaken to catch them off guard with 6 to four on the score line when paperex might even have called a pause coming into this round but they haven't and there's a lot of weaknesses for them this is again going to be somewhere they hope to just Blitz the wall up to block out the dart is beautiful but they still have to swing in to smoggy and that's where the real trouble begins yeah oh okay you can't give something anything and the beta cross as well from m is gorgeous finally they managed to deal with him something down and now they've gone for the TP but this is somewhat of a ruse they've left Monette behind it seems like it's being watched for but the other two players looking to try and head potentially into the aite only one Defender and a second slowly being pulled in two smokes for mine freak could lob one on a to cause problems you can see there's one in play but now the second comes down and it's buying space for manette to close the distance stinger in hand this is a perfect fight for him to take he goes into the smoke at the wrong moment two players ready and waiting Molly through that'll buy Time by space that they now need the advantage sits with EDG a little tag onto M it's okay smoke down as he repositions but ultimately aill needs to be found before en can amp back up to fight through they're Inside the Cage The Flash is good and the kills are even better absolutely gorgeous another late round where you see the benefit of having K con online that flash was clinical yeah his utility has been fantastic again showing depth to what is a player we know can run around and outgun pretty much anyone within the scene but he's been in the setup this is just what it's just so absurd and then the second one it did it just shouldn't be allowed they must be happy they killed him through the smoke cuz otherwise I think something might have just aced that round yeah with the way he was going to head shot someone with a sheriff double blast packed up in the air that's just outrageous Carry On from this man but it is power for the course at the same time despite some nice shots from something and a decent map overall it's still 7 to four the advantage now doubled up on in this final round for EDG they've claimed an orb and an orbital strike on the back of it chichu will have that to work with if they end up in a post plant but hold on the fight the rushing it down trying to take these DS in fact it's chichu who has the ult that's now left on 30 HP Panic plays it just to buy a little bit more time so they can fight on the side and it works with K con hitting a shot and chichu doing the same there's no long push anymore chichu oh my God those bullets are coming so damn close but they think he's dropped out now they've spammed too much for him to still be in position and he might just get the jump with a second player behind him as well they're going to emerge from the smoke chichu the sacrificial lamb and trade through the smoke and he almost doubles up on it K con is shut down though and we're in a 2v2 managed to dodge it he's always been a snake and the gr he gets the timing perfectly online the tacks on both side and goes for the repak to give smoggy the Kill from a 41 down deficit it has been a complete turnaround for EDG eight rounds now onto the board and what a ridiculous Resurgence it's been from the Chinese Powerhouse well howong has been impressive Tom are you expecting to see that face after such a devastating first half get anyway yes just immediately be shw is being pressured going to see some utility faked out but again they're just going to go running back the thing is the slow pace of EDG in the last map might just run true again being patient to try and Garner extra space there is a available for M to slow them down but once more it's not just going to be the immediate run through almost a complete opposite to what we saw from paperex EDG are extremely patient perhaps knowing that if you leave that clock run down low enough paperex are going to get aggressive now TP has heard towards a steps are made but the flank is underway trap is watching it that's something for them to work on and the trap is destroyed here comes a quick triple Blitz on the back as the players desperately hold on to control over the site reinforcements are on their way and just now arriving but a quick switch from EDG sends them towards the defender and forsaken somehow Stands Strong inside of lambs four kills on the frenzy and another pistol round for paperex normally Tom this is where we'd be getting the violins out for EDG they lost the pistol to start with they lost the third round to follow up and now they lost another pistol for most teams that's a dead sentence yeah here they are with a three round lead yeah I I think forsaken just with his frenzy unable to isolate the jaws with him and he's just able to take everything over the line a much needed pistol for the side of pprs if they are going to have an opportunity to try and turn this one back around we've seen EDG though do an awful lot with very very little but this would have to be one of the best of them well that that pretty much puts a pin in that one he still has another bullet that was a collap to start us off little bit of a longer reload now that he's fired both shots but he's right back into the fight just in time to catch K con the ace well it's not going to happen theis swept in to steal it away but you know what forsaken's already got his ult online so he doesn't really need any more kills might as well give them to someone else I don't know manette with a showstopper that sounds good but that's only his first orb to find 8 to six he has done that in both halves forsaken his gone in with his Al in round three which kind of makes you think maybe he hasn't done that much else for the rest because if you're getting enough kills to get your out round three twice but keeping these rounds nice and clean and again it's a Flawless round to put paper X in a pretty decent spot I am looking at their two jeus players both having a judge for this round I I feel like if you're on the EDG side you've got to be so damn careful now they normally are I I'll give them that they're normally very slow methodical using their utility but I feel like avoiding both of these players is not going to be easy no most certainly not they just taking a look at EDG real quick as well damage doesn't even need to be done to chichu before he goes down to that Outlaw of forsaken I think that's something that we'll see manifesting in how this round breathes that that smoker can't be the one that's going out to take those wide approaches to check angles instead it's got to be much slower relying on things like your Sila drone your Recons to clear those angles forsaken is posted up and ready to duel same spot as before and for en G that could spell disaster add to that as you said Tom they've got to be careful of those judges mine freak is not being caught and so they'll look for the B site control and that's when they walk straight into M he's crept out behind the box and pops up for a nasty surprise yeah doesn't even need to switch out the weapon really will eventually do it and be a to escape as well but has been lost man's done well there isn't really a reaction either there has been a push through I'm just looking at the position that's been taken from how he's completely in behind they they've left a gap and that Gap has been exploited such good positioning from him a quick rotation looking to come back through from the other side howong taking as much space as possible but this battle between M freak and chichu is going to be everything and again chichu just getting in behind his opponent the advantage swinging into the favor of this attacking side sure it's a bonus but for a second it was looking really dangerous dangerous indeed yeah in fact it looked like they had it more or less locked down but again it's howong to bail EDG on this map he has just been spectacular in Spector form almost never these players able to actually take the fight on the open take the duel against him he's always slipping behind 9 to six and it's paper Rax slipping behind now three rounds down yeah a nice recovery from them and again it's been mentioned you're looking at how long on the leaderboard you're like he's having an all right game but his impact has been Paramount like the amount of space he took there cleared out something's aggressive position cuz that was the thing something was cleverly sort of moving himself further and further forward sort of cause issues for his opponents but then gets caught from the one spot that wasn't really checked on 9 to6 still plenty available for this round you're going to see the operator in onto something judge still online making making sure that there's nobody in this aggressive position now the prowler is going to give things away nobody is going to wait in the TP I don't know how long this is going to stay for I mean nobody's had a tough game La last map I'm thinking he had a 4K a 3K a 2K right now he has 1K one kill on the board for this this whole half and and he was bailing them out of these situations that now how as taking up that mantle again 9 to six in the lead couldn't give a damn few of zero kills but for nobody I I want to see him bring that back out we know it's in the tank at some stage for paper x right now as we said there's manette on the judge they're going to be respecting that because we've seen it last round it had huge impact he was able to dominate control over this section of the map EDG must have another idea on how to play that part and in fact they go towards B they see all this utility come their way and they're starting to maneuver their way back towards the a site which has thinned out slightly the Reckoning though we're getting down to the last 30 seconds going in this direction will leave them with not a lot really to play with they're going to try and just almost run their way through it but they're slowly being revealed every single time they try and make their way through finally the Reckoning will fade but may freak now in position a Cod for forsaken to try and almost Fight Within and they are falling like flies for S of winning every battle leaving just chichu remaining 8 seconds and five members of the other team still to find there is no shot that he gets anything from this one and finally well Manet will fall but Divi immediate on the reaction yeah you know initially I thought forsakens probably put out the Reckoning because when they push on the side of EDG they're like well first of all information secondly when they push they're likely to be blitzing in towards that position utility coming his way if chichu gets an orbital strike but smoggy could be on you in a second in fact I think he just put it out so he can fire up some orbs pick it up he se's almost halfway to having it online again just a lights out performance from forsaken but still two rounds behind EDG weaker weapons this is where they've been scary at times and an orbital strike online as we mentioned so still a lot of danger if this attack side can find ground can looking for a little bit of early control and the same from something starting to really lock down Avenues of the map you can see divide the same on the extremities of B does leave a little bit more of an opening but the thing is Monet has completely switched up his position he was playing the judge over the last couple of rounds The Flash is Sublime once again from kkan unfortunately unable to really capitalize on it howong again how does he keep doing this it's unfathomable this is a classic L I've seen Nats do that but he had an orb and a wall oh come on again and again two kills for howong and I said they've been scary godamn terrifying forsaken he's held this position with a frenzy but that was against pistols he is completely surrounded nice spray Divi to finish it off but howong has a third kill he started this with a goddamn classic one enemy remaining W and there's only one man left it is going to be how though it is going to be another master card Thrifty I'll be honest makes absolutely no sense we're seeing a man switch over to yeah I like the I like the representation the consistency is off the charts yeah and it's got to be infuriating for papx a way back into the map with your opponents on a weak buy and you lose to one man in his classic a free gun by the way yeah I think it was his spacing more than anything else look at the aggression though this is the W gaming we were expecting to see an immediate push all the way down be long but again it doesn't really come with any rewards having to fall back and use and burn a lot of utility in the early stages of these rounds and they've won either of those fights k k he's got both in his locker just takes down the duo of PX but it does turn out it was a trio there was a third piece to the puzzle unfortunately manette is now just sat in a corner with a judge and the very best of luck to him in the battle to come cuz by the looks of it that judge is going to have to find five players EDG are in a 5v3 with no intentions of being picked off individually they're moving together making their way into this site there's a drone and that's really the giv him a gap oh hold on he might actually be in the position to get this they spotted him and only one perfect from mg yeah nice work I I I like the idea from forsaken just create a little pocket in the corner that he can hide with with him but I think the fact that he shoots at smoggy somewhat gives the game away might have been spotted anyway and for M freak there's not really much he can do but to just try and save something the real problem though is that this wasn't like you might be looking at this and thinking oh well the way that round went it was probably a low by no that was everything pay breakes through the kitchen sink at that one and have now just got to try and hold on to this rifle and 11th round for EDG inevitable and I don't know if they're going to have much to play within the next round luckily both teams also something has been able to do a lot with these low Buys so maybe we'll get something magical once again but it is at the stage now where paper need it oh EDG with 11 on the board a four round lead and two rounds to close this one out bring us to split and it' be a nice swap over you know the the the shoes on the other foot ZD gen lost 138 ax might be losing 137 you said they invested everything in that last one they do come out of it with still two ultimates to work with manette and DVI will have something and you know but literally their teammate but they'll have those SS to work with couple rifles Stingers there're going to rush it's not looking great but the element of surprise is the best thing that they can hope to rely on it's not surprising at this point though they haven't had much more in terms of depth m freak's going to get one but that's all she wrote look how ready EDG were I now you've got a slightly lower by I wonder what you're going to do Lads I wonder if you're going to push something just to cam out immediately from howong to get his team ready and then everybody the firing squad just watching very easy round for EDG and sure something still standing he's gone as well smoggy winning that fight out once again and what can D really hope to achieve here left with close range SMG and four full HP players well GB wanted to see paper X on this defense come out with aggression just punch him in the mouth but they've ended out more like Aldo five chances now for EDG to close this map turns out they had grills that's what it is they punched them in the mouth and it's left and indent in their own hand and this is exactly what you're talking about like at this stage of the game you're just like oh are are paperex pushing oh wow I'm shocked no way Protocols are there they're ready EDG a step ahead on bind this is a map that we had some question marks around playing against paperex on this I was I would say before this it's never easy but EDG are certainly trying to make that look like a foolish statement especially you lose both pistols and you're 127 up that that's damn good showing and they they've had some rounds as well where something popped off and they've managed to weather that storm it's something that many teams have tried and many teams have failed and within their matchup versus paperex it's never gone their way I believe they've had a map before in the past but I think if they head on to split it's been one of their best maps within the region although it's been great for payes it is the perfect place to end it but let's not get ahead of ourselves already we're seeing forsaken with an Odin so Mitch believes if there was a round to win Tom this would be the one you know normally on this map you're going to have traps to play off but there's not going to be those easy reveals to play around instead it's more to do with spamming and well you're going to have to get the head of smoggy and he's crouched down behind that box it's it's not too easy for now the suppressive fire really about to be tested as if you fire away that rocket will come right back at you but somehow the Rocket's done nothing the show not stopped just yet with damage onto mine freak there still a show stop r one yet once this old Fades I like the spams I like the attempt but nothing's being found oh they've got Nightfall as well but smoggy manag to dodge it needs to hit the shot and won't be able to in fact Kong Kong goes down instead an advantage at this stage for pay breaks but they still have to get back into the site chichu sprinting around hasn't been isolated yet it's left down to just one man but that one man is howong getting that little bit more aggressive he's using his opponent's util even has the cam and it's just about going to reveal knows that they no longer on this diffuser but desperately needs a kill and he isn't going to be able to find it that diffuser will come through and paperex will live to fight another day good I was already calling in to the admins change his name on that hood take out the last four letters all you need to say is how every time this guy's on the screen it's just unbelievable but this time they put a stop to him that's the first out of five four more needed the side of paperex and look you you have the show stuffer there buying them the kill good that was for by the way no it wasn't it was the player he already spotted who was already dead at that point he could get a double kill four in a row chichu is about to have ult online as well but look how much paper WX have in this rounding all it takes is one but oh one Eco from EDG is it that's all it takes maybe Monette back on the judge but that's not really been too much of a detriment for him and I actually feel like it's fairly important for pay Brees to clear out that cam every piece of utility how's had has had impact instead though it's the slow walk up looking to potentially get that orb online as you mentioned one away I don't think there should be much they'll be able to stop it at this stage this is such a disgusting position for manette to play I I don't know how howong survives this time surely he should be de no he checks him he's prepared every single moment bring down they've got that Advantage again something he's going to try and make a hero play howon goes running through and dies to his own teammate if he made it through you bet he probably gets a couple and D holding the line on the other side it's now a wraparound for EDG look where they are 30 seconds left they expected the bite to be open at this stage they have to get the kill onto duai and he is low well with chichu down Divi really has it all stacked up once the spike Falls 16 second left no chance for that to go their way on EDG side they have three more chances now to push this across the line and we're starting to see different facets of paper Rex come online this is what we were hoping for but this guy just look at this he gets over the strikes by the opponent he's like I think there might have actually been a tidy poet but for us yeah in that moment he's like oh dear you know if he had a c where our Observer was he would have known there was a safe Gap but he also wouldn't have been able to move probably would have had to jump and check it real quick wouldn't be ideal but yeah the double orbital strikes they don't happen too often creating a pocket like that so understandable three more chances for EDG rifles out again so I'm expecting them to win whenever they Eco but it might be hard to even push them there for paperex same old by and it's the big gun in play for sake with the opening smoggy down the flag coming in but both battles have gone the way of EDG M freak needs a little more but it's only going to be the one something and forsaken two players two names that strike fear into the hearts of any opponent oh trying to get that wall bang through but is getting dangerously close to a Reload I think he's even going to have to just fall back give this one up for now well 10 bullets left right he had to pop that reload but he's ready to fight again now 100 bullets primed and ready something on the other side of the map as the plan comes down he is going to take a while to get there but forsaken's not willing to give up the space now he's being spotted as he sees the cam turn towards and this might be the end for him he's being revealed but good damage that's deterred how Dong from actually taking the peak it's allowed for that c to be completely negated the swing is good for something and he spotted both players a 1 v25 four bullets now it's not looking good this could be EDG pushing it across the line another Miss into a heal reload and Something's Got a chance no Lear to work with the defuse being stuck to half but the swing is perfect and a couple of times the surprise factor is gone that doesn't mean you're going to be able to deal with it it it's very very difficult and these are also agents where I think like something one of the best jets in the world forsaken personal opinion best Yuro in the world it's so difficult to play against the chaos that is created by this side and that's the storm that's going to have to be weathered the fun thing about this is is in my opinion both teams have started on their better side of this map so it's going to be the first half might actually decide it well that's it and for paperex they'll be happy with this attacking side as they're already set up to move towards this a site you can see there's a wall in play it's going to be popped up but the main thing drawing my eye is forsaken he's got himself a TP moving right up close where he's already looking to get in towards screens and well some troubles Brewing he's got the first but the sight control to EDG they've got the spike and he's only good for two but it might be enough the advantage is theirs and a pick needs to be found soon from the side of paper Rex leaving Mind Freak alone though isn't the best of looks that spikes down on site and he's got three players to pick off no from the Shadows either that' be impressive yeah I think whole team would have to be dead and then some we going just hoping to try and find an isolated julan isn't going to be happening EDG they're off the mark and then doing well as well I like the fact that you almost see the payre are doing this blitz player I think they almost expected there to be no one on site cuz they had multiple players trying to fight through in towards screens and it almost seemed like they forgot that K could be and was within the site so off to a flyer good start for him individually he said well not the best first map an okay second if this is where Kong Kong comes online they'll be happy yeah yeah just in the nick of time right and you can understand why they don't expect him to be on site giving him that opportunity they saw two players screens those players seem to be panicking to get back in okay howong head but the nade to start this one off he's staying close on B fight around mid three players from EDG want to maintain that control and the lurk of something is left to try and pick them off when they do K con walking down but he's patient just wants to took up on the box spotted nade will cover his Retreat you'd imagine he sticks around for the kill instead not worried about the numbers that could be rounding the corner when he gets out it's smoggy that's left in the open trying to cover his Retreat and he to have to be a little bit careful here but this is just his chance to farm get ever closer to that ultimate don't think that's the gun that something's looking for and even just an extra player being dropped here could cause a few issues going into the next round you can see a much more passive sort of Crossfire just waiting to almost pop up that ladder to fight that one together it's available for nobody on the rotate as well and EDG they'll convert pick up a couple of the guns as well yeah it's nice they they came in with two pistols I think it's why you see smoggy play ahead of that he's he literally is covering the retreat he can maybe pick off one with the pistol if not he loses a pistol it it really is not the end of the world for EDG I mean a flyer of a start with five kills on K con the rifles on the side of paperex will be facing off against what was one of the more terrifying eyes that EDG pulled out once they've got these pistols up against rifles their win rate has been insane and some very important rounds as well Mind Freak stunned up and tucked in the corner there's no free way for him to get out I mean he can use his abilities often but not this time there's none online no shrouded step and there's a one way that's probably being held he just trapped for now forsaken may just look to try and actually Retreat and get an or here one off that dimensional drift I think that's probably the scariest thing with this paper x comp is they've got so much value when it comes to those ultimates can almost help the individuals on the other side again this a there is a quick wraparound though they've got to be wary of nobody looking to try and come in on the flank this is a rware as well EDG they can afford to take some risks with the Weaponry that they've got M yet though this might be a nasty surprise but never mind chichu found him and I don't think they're going to expect nobody in the corner know it's h as W this is doing great for EDG well it was it really was and it's back to go great nobody with three kills and now it's just one standing 10 bullets and it's only one needed for smoggy EDG absolutely decimate paperex in round three and well Tom I I hate to say I told you so but this is just it's happening too often now the value they find with pistol p is frankly unreal and if I'm not mistaken I mean nobody had one kill for most he finished on two he finished on two he finished on two he got three times more kills already this well even that in that round he got more kills than the last map Alone unbel look at this it's a half check as well like that's the thing I I just feel like they get tunnel visioned in the lineup of a spectre and off Alex has just got to be so infuriating his team put in a decent position and just maybe overextend now they come in they purchased again they they're still going in for more the dimensional drift will give them the space but they've been given the space you can see on the other side EDG nowhere near this one I don't think for is going to go too much further than that but with a judge in hand he's almost just trying to play with his opponents here pressure's on EDG on the way back through and it's off EDG just that quickly K con I don't know where this guy was the last two maps but he certainly turned up today three kills already and well it doesn't look too good for paperex you might think this is an eag but it's not the weaker weapon of forsaken good for two maybe more to be found but nobody low he's 90 HP finding another three Health five for Forsaken and Ace to put in the first round on the board for paper Rex unbelievable [Applause] ball play the tournament might be done the tournament might be over I can't believe I I'm going to cry that's that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen two kills with the judge and then just manages to isolate every single fight that literally brought a tear to my eye Tom I had to wipe that one away I'm flabbergasted by this guy on a regular basis but that is truly one of the greatest plays we've ever seen and no surprise P pay breaks and taking a pause Alex has probably got a hole in his desk at this point be it in anger or celebration who knows and on the other side of things EDG are just going to be left to chewing that one a 1v5 ace to get their first round on the board I feel like the only appropriate thing is to replay bren's desk from earlier just shoot him in the face just shoot him in the face what a real I was thinking earlier in the round like it's really curious that with a judge he gave up that control cuz he took screams they had a smoke down he was within it I was like oh he gives up the control that's really interesting I don't think anybody saw that one coming that's the thing not only a 1v5 a 1v5 ace with a judge where they're all pushing in to cover that one angle that's all they were worried about was elbow they had everything else and taking your breath away that's this is another level seven kills for forsaken five of them in the previous round and as we come into round number five EDG still lead by two still have a decent amount of money there's some weaknesses there but nobody is showing up that's something down right away one of the Duelist dealt with K con you can see he's feeling confident yeah they're right back on the horse and it doesn't look like they've let that get to them whatsoever forsaken's been revealed by The Seekers as well looking for some more Shenanigans and in the 2v4 they're going to pop the Viper pit they need fors to do something and now D well it's not quite five but he needs to do it all at least he's got the pit to work with but back to back these kind of clutches surely can't be happening too many players too many guns this time they will find it EDG a fourth round on the board with the defuse coming through Pass play around a seems to be working in the early rounds nobody as well a really impressive Resurgence from the previous map I think his comfort level on sky is definitely up there but most of it doesn't seem to be anything to do with the agent itself and the thing that's worth noting is I I believe mine freak was one HP one hit for not one exactly but one hit when uh when that first P subsided could very well have been the double kill EDG are getting hyped up and with a three round lead and the economy of paper RX completely destroyed there's a good reason for them to be excited yeah they've got one round it was all forsaken other than that they didn't have any players surviving and thus the economy is completely in the bin you can see just the sheer confidence of nobody on this map aggressive angles being taken TP into the site once more and an after plant will ensue but they are so happy to play in these retakes and almost the initial kill it does coming elsewhere again paperex are always going to want to play aggressive in these positions pull the numbers into their favor get some of those rifles out of the hands of their opponents and the paint shell found its mark on the low HP manette this is left ofi alone and he's being watched you know it's an ambitious thing to try and flank howong he he's never going to let that happen but of course it was K con to find the kill a showstopper and a rolling thunder online for EDG moving into round number six this was a great farming round for this squad and now the paperex come in with rifles there's a lot for the side of EDG to fall back on if they do lose those opening du I I think this is the thing now EDG have done amazingly well to not play pck at their own game they're not giving them those early fights they're not giving them any battles that don't have the opportunity for a trade supportive flashes from the likes of smoggy have been fantastic as well and paper x is rinse and repeat if at first you don't succeed try try try try try and try again cuz they're heading back into this a site once more hey look they got the ult again why not and it's actually just got a judge again as well it's well now it's dangerous it's only going to be used to clear the site get the spike plant good timing chichu in trouble now the showstoppers found him but it's only trading out the Kill from smoggy he had some impressive rounds of his own a good shot but it's Tred again from the grave K con takes down mine freak low HP on Monette n still to work with and forsaken in a nasty spot ready to play with that judge from down below but he's worried now because the a site being lost they're going to swing in and he's only got a classic closing the distance on the back of the smoke he's evaded their detection and he's up close with a judge forsaken buying them time and space but now he's dropped and the low HP M yet is last Alive N by time runs that clock down lower and nobody is nowhere near enough time to get the diffuse in two rounds for paper Rex and a lot of damage done to edg's economy they've got decent credits left yeah no the the damage isn't done to edg's economy at all it's done to paper xes they they've won around with zero players surviving so they're still in well right in the thick of it blor though yeah it's going to pad the Gap a little bit but if they lose this next round they're completely in the bin they are not out of the woods just yet and if we've seen anything thus far this game it's that it's been blit for EDG and then an instant Resurgence they've been fantastic in a lot of those retakes I think a couple of Jews not going their way the show stopper as well so we finally see a hit towards this B site the early flash is already going to give that information over to nobody and the Cavalry is full Sprint I think after he slowed them down they decided to go back look at that damage when yet down to 50 on just the straight spam through those smokes mine freak already dropped that's a lot lost in terms of sight coverage blocking off angles paranoia out of the game and for paperex with manette low Divi he's got a chance to do something and it's actually something to find that on to chichu but when he's dropped it's Devi alone on the other side of the map maybe he had a chance to get something done if they were able to plant that Spike if they were able to keep eyes towards B main instead uh yeah this this might even be a better clutch than what we saw from forsaken I don't know if that exists it's true I'll be honest with you so much utility though and they're not in a rush on EDG that's a big difference no it would take equally the amount of hero power and they're already just watching they're ready and waiting not going to let that happen twice it's going to be another round for EDG and as said it's an instant Resurgence once more it's an attempted fastpac play I think EDG have done fantastically well to not go in for those early fights they are happy to sit back they're happy to sit in their Crossfire and when the opening kills aren't going the way of pck when advantages can't be garnered it's just not going their way that won them a bunch of rounds like Monette I think even popped his Al once got reconned and taken down but whatever about he's 14 and two like it it's just completely shutting them down howong has not been able to get behind them this time he doesn't doesn't blood he need to it's defense as well wait till the [Music] attack yeah you're seeing the flexibility a completely different role for either player and completely different results but ultimately they're in the lead that's a good start though forsaken again he has been the well the real really the one Shining Light this team has had so far something taking the space a hero rifle now in his hand and this time they are playing slightly more aggressively they're giving opportunities that might be a mistake oh devis flank this time not going to oh no oh no I wish I didn't see that well it it wasn't as late as before but it was just as successful at least the trade is found and we're left into a two versus four with weaker weapons for paperex this is something Way Beyond what you could have expected forsaken has old to work with if they need the information but more likely it's just about winning those duels both players very isolated and spotted they know where these EDG players are and on the side of paperex that's going to let them group up a brave play from something it didn't quite work out but he's got plenty of teammates there to catch the ball when it's fumbled six to three Pap forrex they're they're on the board but it's been back and forth and if it keeps up that way EDG going to be very happy this is the thing the Master Card Thrifty almost comes purely off the back of forsaken again like just two entries into the site a little bit of an over peek through the smoke as well I think this is one of the times you can sort of go the opposite of what we've seen from En so far they've been very happy to give up control and then retake this time two players went for slightly more well actually the TP into b m was very aggressive and they got punished for it that's not how you want to play against this oh near sided but he's got a close range gun K good to find one and the heal is coming right on through so it's only the shields that he's lost a fantastic start again for that side of EDG although smoggy does go down the B sight's open and they've bypassed the Viper pit this could become a problem foren Already Taken full control as well towards the spawn a massive flank as well from D he's got to get a move on eventually as that retake will be beginning but if his teammates compy enough time and something on that aggressive or always a problem leaving things now with an advantage for that attack side chichu needs to try and choose his moment to find some space back in for a team and actually nobody's still very very far away from this chichu eventually pounces but he's got no support no teammate to be had the flank eventually starting its way back around he's going to have to pull off something ridiculous here and definitely not jump in the face of your opponent I believe that's a mouse wheel nobody now has no time no opportunity to turn this one back around he's at least making it incredibly costly once again but he will be forced to retreat and save firing on a whole different cylinder than what we saw before you know you say that might be a mouse wheel either that or they've been watching Vitality vots I'm not sure s that that little bunny hop spray you weren't watching EMA that's it's worth a watch back it was a enemy remaining yeah it didn't work out as well for chichu of course not I'm not joking it is it is of course just a mouse well just an unlucky mechanical failure space bar gang exactly my space bar is to crouch but we don't need to talk about that no we don't 6 to four EDG some ulties to work with as well this could help out Seekers from nobody grab that info late round but it looks like they might be getting something early round EDG pushing up close stum being held but the shot lands a little too quickly and now there's an isolated Bridge on this sight smoggy going to be feeling lonely for a while K con a little too far away smog is going to have to hold this all by himself and he PS in just at the right time to grab two they're back in contention and now kon's here no room for paper rex on the site with Monette on 70 and the spike in the open this is going to be a very difficult clutch and he's found the first that's risky chichu goes peeking in how long's able to close the distance as you said he's had a quiet game so far Show stoer online but with half HP might not be worth popping Monet just trying to isolate the angle find out where his opponent is and now just standing with rocket in hand not quite knowing where his opponent's currently coming from it is a TP into the side and howang eventually gets the job done plenty of time left on the clock and EDG are going to increase that lead to a half victory that was actually really impressive that I didn't see the showstopper just shot at the floor right after the paranoia came through I think howong repositioned perfectly he couldn't have played that any better and in fact I think with most players he would have baited that show stoer out left them in a very tough position K con dropping the spike buying the time and setting them up for that success howong finally having his round this is 7 to4 for the side of EDG map three a long and hard fought series and this half is going to come to a conclusion is it 8 to four or 7 to5 for paperex that's going to make a hell of a big difference oh the initial pace is there again but it's it's meant to be a ruse thing is that that fake has not been sold I think they were they were hoping that mon would at least do a little bit get something from it but a showstopper straight at his feet the rest of the team looking to go in that's a a flash of blind completely left in the dark here as howong now looks to come alive he's got a quiet start but the close to the half might be exactly what they need M freak has made some space but well he's going to need quite a bit more from this one another 1 V5 needed and it isn't going to happen twice 8 to four EDG again showing they can go toe to- Toe with pay brecks and this might be the best chance they've ever had to beat them absolutely three times they failed fourth time Lucky by the things we're seeing you got to remember Tom you open this up by talking about how we started on the better half for both of these teams and EDG have certainly come out on top double the rounds of their opponent and they've already shown us they've got what it takes the momentum is high on their side and the Hop's even higher for EDG to find themselves quite a distance behind their opponents EDG on the attack side with a very quickened pace and the aide is their target it's wide open for paperex with just a VI holding it he's got a wall though to play back in well paperex for the most part they've been good in their pistols didn't go great in the last half but we'll see if they can get get this one over the line already losing the control of the site and nobody is not going to allow any Shenanigans from the TP of forsaken now they do have a quick flank they're ready to sort of surround their opponents but with something already going down I believe that was through the smoke that's not the start PRX were looking for nice fake by forsaken as well he put his TP down faked it out and nobody's gone looking for him well much to his surprise the player was still there oh no the marum comes into effect and en now now St with a very good chance low HP on a few players though on both of them in fact in M freak capitalizes the first is his and 20 hp left on smoggy a big play with the frenzy is not going to happen paper rex have found the pistol and this is a Lifeline for the defense of paperex yeah we got him very quickly but something I wanted to mention is you look at the last couple of times the paperex have played this map with this comp they had 8 for attack sides so for the majority they were really putting up numbers in that first half we had high expectations for it and as it was mentioned by us and the desk it seemed like EDG weathered the storm came prepared and also you've just seen the individuals shining kkan 22 and 10 nobody 16 and 5 they've been on form and some of the players on the other side have been a bit quiet something 5 and 12 on that jet that's a rarity that's a something you never really see from him now he's got a chance to farm up some orbs here has himself that outlaw of course no shields on the other side so should be a good chance for an immediate Kill playing very aggressively around the orb I don't know if he will have realized how far nobody has luckily he has support I'm also looking at chichu yeah he has manage to sneak his way a little further than you'd expect the downside of not playing with a dedicated Sentinel is that your back can sometimes be a little more open looks like chichu is going to be cosplaying howong with a nice easy kill and a recovered weapon that makes everybody a one hit this oh no yeah of course don't let them have it in the next it's costly but what a shame he could have one hit every single player top oh and they're going to get it anyway little bit unlucky like both players close enough but for PX that's kind of what you needed get yourself some of the Weaponry through to the next round for sake really going to go for an operator this would definitely sort of pad the Gap a little bit split up and Outlaw Tom hey I'm not saying it's no I don't know split op Outlaw Bucky Spectre Bulldog you know round win incoming sometimes you just you can't use your own logic cuz it ain't the same as theirs paranoia nade and play through man yet up close with a buy okay this is great value for this weapon a massively strong angle to play around and wonder they not likely to pop a close Sky flash on all too often the op not finding its Mark B look a is very much open now so is Middle yeah they've lost something in a very audacious position I imagine that was with the dash online forsaken is now in a good spot but he's lost his life as well this man just isn't missing at the moment the main character of this matchup had a rough start to the series but has come alive at the perfect time dominating taking over even with the heels to support him here Divi under pressure and he's going to go down to the same man as well what hope is there a save is called as manette is retrieve the operator he would very much like to have that expensive weapon in the next round having invested so much you see forsaken credits 350 and even that shot from manette it's not as valuable as you think it's a kill and a dent in the economy that is decently low for EDG it helps to manage their money the problem is they know where the op is now sure it might not be back on B site but they've cast a wide net and as this round comes to a close they'll look to close that net and catch him it looks like they've done just about enough and yeah need never mind got it he's out he's out he was out but he stayed around for another kill I guess they might have caught him as he moved through spawn anyways so it's not that he was guaranteed a free run but that op is lost yeah and that that is going to put a dent it's going to be forsen who takes it like they're going to just give him a stinger obviously when you're playing that yoro you can take some risks play some aggressive angles one enemy remaining but it's definitely not ideal especially when he has been one of the major players in this game so far for paperex when they've had success Monet show supper online k no surprise his is one away already going to just try and play with some of the sound cues it doesn't seem like there's any real interest from papx with those early initial sounds made they've gone and taken the orb anyway there was a player close but he's tpd out I think they might even have heard that sound there's no one on the aide yeah it's wide open they just playing into middle yeah I guess again with some slight vulnerabilities for the side of PX they're they're just willing to completely give up and with how the ls have been somewhat surprising but it looks like they might actually get this spot on comes in chichu is under pressure you might think but you would think wrong that I'd love to see coach Alex's can as that one comes in weapons picked up they hear them backing off the paranoia is there and the Flash out from forsaken he's not going to give it up this is the right play he wants to pull the advantage back into their hands with the spike down he sticks round after turn another huge round he might not be alone but he doesn't need backup not when he's playing like this Mind Freak closes the round and well it was very close to being two Aces for forsaken this man is single-handedly keeping the team in it yeah there've been multiple rounds now that well ironically have looked Forsaken and somehow he's just managing to pull off play after play he's been on this roster for a long time with many Heroes arising we saw the rise of Jing something Monette joining the team and somehow this guy always still looks like the Superstar and when you can see for the other side they've got to try and almost Center themselves because it's just ridiculous bear in mind he picked that rifle up off the Corpse of a teammate Midway through that battle he only had a stinger to start the round and because of him picking up that rifle his teammate died cuz they heard the sound q and they swung it now though there's a little bit of a approach from the side of En just shoot him in the head with sheriffs and it's worked out perfectly 9 to s double digits on the line and they have so much control the ult is going to be used finding out chichu good flash but no kill 4 HP left but it's enough he's made it well oh I thought he made it out they pulled him right back in mind freak one versus five and if you thought this was the round we were going to look at when barriers went up go get your head examined still got no managed to get any of the guns it was just such a absurd round and the thing is that is chichu now realizing how much space he can take he walked straight into that aite but I I don't even think he broke stride the entirety of the round because of how pay breaks have been playing and because of that it ends up being their downfall EDG consistently spotting the openings of their opponents and it's been Lux on both of the maps that they've won howong in the last map and now chichu doing the same on this one this a problem that payre are going to have when they run these sort of comps they came into this round up against an Eco on the side of paper Rex they had full rifles and the call in the end is to save before they even find a kill one rifle that they get out of that situation an utterly ridiculous that also already done some damage to him but he's quite low himself and for paperex yeah that is very much what you expect to see disappointment and anger as EDG have stolen this out from under paper X's nose three rounds in the lead and they need three to send paperex zero and one you could have a paperex versus loud game and well manette doesn't want that no no it's the opening they've been looking for both teams have had Mass success with weaker weapon chichu does have a vipus pit if they can get him into position it could be problematic something he's been spotted but just runs away with the information you can still see the tiger being thrown out over on the a site information being garnered by EDG and again that walk up but this time there are players there even the TP available onto site for forsaken if he needs to go back and support instead it's this fight it again something has been having a rough time in individual battles which is not something I thought I'd say today well even starting out the day the first two maps K con had a pretty tough time in individual battles but there's no signs remaining of that anymore lots of players from EDG ready to run into a site it's going to be the Rolling Thunder that's point of contact already is Forsaken and he's caught one but he won't get out of there the spray is too good quick rotate by Mind Freak straight into a stun he's kept back for a moment and that wall is buying space and time but as they cross it they're lower easier to take down and mine freak catches all three paper wrecks aren't giv this up just yet the Gap is down to two yeah somehow somehow the Gap is within touching distance for paperex with how things have gone a solid start with the show stop I also like how we see forsaken just delay that poot flash aggressive spot it kept his teammate alive on the site that surely would have been him going down with the Rolling Thunder and that also B time for M freak to be able to TP to the other side of the map so impact even without the numbers still though economy on the brink an aggressive push that has had very little success so far oh something's even going to give it up you can see the respect being given to the side of EDG not by forsaken that's for sure he's just swinging out looking for long range battles it's a decoy going through and chichu realized he was screens a second ago I don't think he's up in heaven the rotates are coming through and they'll fight for heaven by the looks of things they like this wall on a oh no oh I it looks like I'm incorrect there's going to instead be a bit of a poke by K con up towards B first and that is keeping players in position mind freaks pushed up three players towards B and it's the fight on K con that could decide it for for taken if he loses control there the panic and they stay on B but instead the rotates are underway the aite is now definitely the target the info is there but D is so desperately low he won't be able to hold on and as they rush into the site K con realizes he might have a timing but forsaken realized that too Viper's pit though is definitely going to make things more interesting every player within it at least for the moment heals available as well nobody won't be able to help himself but he can help everybody else utilitywise not a whole lot to play with and that's not the start they were looking for every member falling forsaken again is going to have to Ace it for them to take this round and howong is ready and waiting as he looks to wrap back around 11 to8 lead extended once more and now the problems really are there look at the economy for the side of paperex yeah this is crushing if it was EDG I'd be expecting us to see 11 to 10 on the board but the thing is it's not paperex have struggled on some of the lower buys EDG have been so disciplined is the main they did win one and it was off forsaken's double entry with a sherff so but that's the thing I do feel like right now even though like M freak is up there I feel like I'm just looking at him every round I'm like okay can he give them something to play with cuz otherwise I just don't see a way that through and M freak's already dead yeah that's going to be tough Smoke's down no paranoia although it's often used off ear contact forsaken is going down to take a close range fight TP is to be and he's out it was just a quick Recon jump I like that for info but the info unfortunately is that the stack on B is incorrect the a sight's under threat and they're going to be very late to the party he's got no flashes to play with so it just has to be off raw skill and this time too many targets not going to be able to get anything and just look how far the remaining players are it might even be a scenario of just going down to the spike the only thing against that is for something probably wanting to get that blad storm online Divi as well you know he's about to get the Viper pit into play could be huge for that defensive side to cut down an angle especially like a main where they've been so quickly bypassed again and again you can see he's going up to try and get something he'll get an orb one way or another and it looks like it's the other yeah shut in the head something going up for the same and it's just a formality at this point smoggy is picking them all up the wall goes down and here's the push no kill kills for something Bladestorm Viper pit have been acquired by paperex but the cost they paid is that EDG now have four chances to put them zero to one put them up against possibly an fpx the loser of the next series or loud yeah there there not great options even the loser of the next series this seems like a rough one you can say that Hometown Heroes or the America's number one I I don't think it's a good look either way it is brutal with two losses sending you out and that's the thing even if you win that first one there's still a decid of match you're still going to have to play one of those upper bracket teams for now though a little bit of extra Pace thrown in from EDG a chance they've never had before a chance to close out a series versus paperex with three losses I've heard three is the magic number they're looking at four but there's a lot of alss online for their opponents right now that is where pay PRS have done their best work and especially thinking about this aight setup if they play retake Viper pit can get online using that wall to block a lot of the angles on the way back through even towards elbow and it is somewhat of a retake fight for heaven for sure paperex want to keep control over that spot zedg will be pushing into it now these are are big players manette's had a good game but forsaken he rided his team at a six out of 10 right now he's been 10 out of 10 all damn day long this map thriving the challenge is about to come through the flash has caught him but he's turned and it's nice two quick kills a decoy in and a TP out the advantage is extended even further as paperex look to put another round on the board buy a little more time forsaken another 3K another big play from this man and he's waiting for his teammates to Round the Corner before he takes that fight three more chances for EDG before they hit an over time I've heard a strat back in the day played by many a team avoid CED and I think that they may need to try and incorporate that on the EDG side because genuinely forsaken has been the one thorn in their side they have looked like the better team throughout this map AEP pistol either side there's no excuses in that regard winning hero rounds kkan back online nobody as well there hasn't been a weak link but when they run run into forsaken wow nine times out of 10 they lose the round he is the sole defender of this aight right now with a little bit of support coming show stoper forong Kong could put the end to him but it looks like he just wants to take a fire fight oh they've cleared heaven but look at the space taken by manette it's perfect but K kan's ahead of him finding the kill forsaken flash to work with TP towards screens he's going to try to get the kill No in fact he's not the flash is just used as he falls further back and now here comes the big old rocket forsaken dodged it nicely spray good for something the Rolling Thunder going up towards heaven it's not caught the players and the sight is under threat something Maneuvers around and jumps into K con eventually he'll fall with forsaken on another and low HP on smoggy the spike on the a site and a very tough one for them to retrieve they don't know where that second player is but they found him it's all unforsaken two kills but the spike is at his feet he knows these players have to push him the utility two flashes will now no longer and it's a few bullets in the difference but that's enough EDG fourth time is the charm as they finally bested paper Rex and it's the first time the W gaming will take e e e e e e e e e for e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
