WC3 - WGL Winter '19 - Quarterfinal: [ORC] Lyn vs. Check [NE]

[Music] here we are back in Shanghai the quarterfinals continue the spirit of the hawk is gone as romantic advances to the semi-final ah who will be his opponent we've seen a Russian we've seen the Chinese we have three strong regions in Warcraft though and that next one is Korea Korean Derby also see a lot of young players romantic is one of them here it's a different generation it's a very different generation Lin worse checks coming up one guy 35 years old the other 32 and the first match between these two players was held in 2004 it's my 50 years ago pretty much on this very day like a week or two before but yeah they have a 15 year long history in this very game yeah and with Czech we know he's been there from the very beginning he's been playing in the biggest tournament of the bat but Lin he's been around forever as well and with so much success throughout his whole history in my opinion Lin is the greatest orc of all time not just what he achieved in the past but also how he's still the flagbearer and still the innovator and still who everyone looks to with the orcish race it's so amazing this guy is one of the best to ever touch the game and to see him in the shape again as he is here is just so much fun he's coming this into the ask the big favor looking so strong in the groups check he just barely squeezed in he was lucky with us too - yeah Lin without him the orcish horde would look very very different that's for sure check not the biggest influence on the night of play it was always moon it was the reminds and maybe even law Llyod today the stats looked pretty abysmal I gotta say the last six encounters went to check the last at Toulon the last time that check defeated Lin in a tournament was in 2009 ten years ago an entire deck aid of not being able to defeat one player and now they fight each other for the semifinals in a best-of-five we start on concealed Hill Lin vetoes AZ check vetoes terrorists and interestingly well it's a one of the strongest orcs map so it's fine last refuge twisted four check echo isles and Northern Isles for Lin dad is pretty normal picks and bats absolutely Terran Austin especially great for second heroes Shadowhunters challengers actually oftentimes end up being the carries in this matchup what are we going to expect from these to check is he just gonna play the standard is he gonna play the keeper Hunt's expansion I I feel like that might not be working out Lin is looking so strong can you really beat him with straight-up play I'm not so sure check he is the big underdog here but with that perhaps not too much pressure on his shoulders Lin this seems to be his wgl he is not going to be satisfied with anything other than the title this season the Korean Mountain Giant versus the war chief here we go the first newbie player is poking for the semi-final he is still undefeated he's spawning in the upper right and is Lin check he is the biggest underdog in the entire quarter-final it's cool to see him in probably the last big Frozen Throne tournament ever he wasn't the very first she will be prominently represented in the last a little bit of the Alpha and Omega Lindo what a champ 400 in the group stage many many titles to his chest WCG is bliss cons WCA the one thing missing was a gold League title he went to the finals once was to be hit by one to zero which could be the finals here as well how proud would that make to have two players fighting for the biggest title in this game there is one little x-factor and that is that check was Lin's practice partner going into this tournament check must know Lin inside out and what's that what can that give can he perhaps tailor a strategy precisely around Lin now that it's down to the wire or weaknesses are there doesn't have any weaknesses if he has a weakness check should know about it but this is Lin we're talking about so far he hasn't really shown weaknesses he okay he lost one map but that match didn't matter too much anymore most players here have been severely tested th has been brought to the limit happy has been brought to the limit in fear as been eliminated Lin has been standing strong and looking insanely good not really brought to the edge just yet him and went 2-0 the only two who have gotten out of the group stages smelling like roses yeah linen this match of his a monster he has lost three series since WL wgl summer against moon at next autumn just a week ago and twice against la lai it but in general he's smashing everyone here check is surprisingly good if we exclude the match versus Lin he defeats oh and he feeds the focuses he repeats who quite a lot but the last three encounters against Lin in awl it was 0 3 in WGL qualifiers it was 0 2 & 0 3 so yeah 3 seriousness without a single map when players forces are under it the numbers don't lie every more they spell disaster for the night it's also matched between the last remaining night off and the last remaining orc the two will be meeting here for the first time after creeping the first camp you're partly at least for Lindo and snare or entangle I should say is available and that grunt with that is already in trouble and snare flies onto the grunt actually hits him here that is super unlucky for Lyn and we thought the first grunts gonna die okay and we had an interview with Lyn yesterday nice deny and he said night off versus org is about the first five minutes and it's about one thing will the grant die or will it survive that determines everything might be a little over simplifying this matchup that doesn't feel good fall in for sure Allen actually he's got the return killed day on the Archer very close now to level two and he denied his own run and that's even more important it's a lot about experience we saw yesterday in fog ease game that an early level three keeper can just change everything ideally you want to be left alone you want a creeper level three quickly get that fast level to entangle and that can just win games single-handedly for you that is not the case for Chuck he's so far away from the level up and I like that Lin is keeping the scouting up doesn't even care about getting level two right now he knows you can steal it perhaps elastic it's more about preventing this next level of for the keeper that makes everything a lot easier in the mid game so what's checks approach when it comes to expansions there's a little red dot moving towards the expo maybe preparing for the Tree of Life where is he gonna build it when is he gonna build it what's his approach to this matchup haven't seen too many check games to be honest this year had a little bit of an absence after the MTW fiasco and I'd say but came back stronger with his new clan LF for the blade this is cool the grunts with a keeper having entangle obviously always dangerous to involve them any kind of trade so the keeper slows down at the blade slows on the keeper by himself and the grunts can creep up solo and if they drop low there's a fountain here too he we have the lodge coming and the Shadowhunter Lin seems to have a good idea of what to do would love to steal that lacet but the entangle prevents this but still far away from ever three is to keep the moment late master drops quite low has a decent inventory with the two circlets but more experience going to watch the light elf whose goal for upgrades rather early simple upgrade as well looks like Little Liars style heavy upgrades quick level three map control and a late expansion sometimes as late as fifty supply with an alchemist of course old-school pushing into the base but stealing some experience from the shadow hunter as it seems and then once go into the mate try to pressure the that is creeping ultra vision advantage here for check looking for a creep Jack and the purge from the shaman isn't ready yet and Lin is in trouble speed stroll to get out of there but one oh if he loses the heroes to be disastrous trying to anti surround nicely done violin Alchemist was trying to block for just a tiny little bit too late supper Ward's killed check has another wispier scouts the blade master movement knowing that he's far away but that also denies the expansion for quite some time has to send another wisp over but what is checked doing now with his position that could have been his moment in the game first really dangerous point in the game survived by Lin and now shaman will be coming and with the dispel things get a little bit easier I think get a lot easier especially to dispel the entangle to get out of there everyone here is of course favoring Lin but almost everyone gives one map to check and so far he's not been dominated he is putting up a fight in the first couple of minutes [Music] second entrant of wars coming second hey you'll double second the tech upgrade as well then it for the steel can he deny it again with an entangle he definitely should know get out and the watch awards and the in volt stolen this is so well done and this is a bonus for the plate master did right there very nice of course but more importantly it's the Shadowhunter across the map away from the army where the blade master keeps it busy and the shadow gets the level's it's all about the level three shadow hunter if you get the serpent wards quickly you have a really good answer to these huntresses pretty good so far level of the shadow is good Alchemist not level two yet needs to heal spray just love this movement by Lin keeper is on my side of the map okay I go to your side you're going back to your side alright we're switching places again the bait master always gives us information now sentry wards you help him gather Intel even a little bit more and the shadow just keeps on safely creeping little by little other than the one grunt lost in the early game this is a match or a map that is going very well so far yeah and there's still no sign of an expansion I don't think even that's a wisp I'm not too sure fester disappear he has the chance to go for this expansion now with the nulls being gone has the money for it soon and is closing in on 50 not a greedy game so far by check but Linda's getting ready for an expansion himself at 40 spot sooner or later night off usually with a strategy has to expand as we learned from the light style it has it can be rather late at around 50 but at a certain point there has to be an expansion and Lin is getting ready to set up one of his own once there's like to watch towers at the expo that becomes so hard to engage into for the huntresses and Lin just taking this one step at a time the blade master he is just a scout basically this game okay here is gonna help creep up the or girl or it's gonna be more about experience and well before the card gas-pipe could be a big drop right here ancient Rango also good yep especially when you slow down your opponents and have that additional movement speed that's a nice synergy still no Expo for check when is he supposed to do that now those centuries this century sees the army movement the other century sees the wisp going over Lin know exactly what to look for okay huntress moving fifty supply is that the strongest check we will have all game he is expanding now Lin should see this hit the shop got the heal scroll this tower should be killed but it's only a little bit more than a hundred gold it's not really that expensive he's so low cancelling the expansion with the staff there's a staff to get back Lin knows so precisely what he has to do reinforced defenses in the manor as well good positioning around the stronghold we've seen a lot of hunters dives onto the main buildings to kill it because repairing it is so hard against the bouncing leaves of the hunts but there's not much surface for the Tijuana units and with the burrows Tier three for Lin whoa feeling seemingly very secure maybe he just wants to hear your roar RRR on tier three with the massive training bloodless is a new ability for shaman normally we don't really see this being used because org doesn't need Tier three to win this matchup but having it is a nice little bonus this is far in the back no asset Bob no he'll spray yet it's rough protection popped and there's no a you'll eat a spell for sec like links you on the grunt the positioning is okay plate master kills one hug everything else is falling quite low I missed the healed spray here it is now coming along with the healed scroll as well so far no lows losses on Lin site I believed killing one more Huntress right there more kills coming in the heel stroll for the Orcas well he is pray one more time but the hunters numbers are twiddling love the grant lightning shield killing of that hunt even though he didn't yeah I mean he did know where this was even though he had no vision that's what I want to say forty supply only remaining by check is trying to go for another expansion but that might not work just distract a little the other one in the bottom right was canceled before grunts are starting to fall alchemist soup below though has no staff has a teepee swapped already takes it now and tangle one more kill perhaps ok thanks at the end - grunts died at the very least but yeah one for me Expo canceled again and Tier three is almost done now and then it's tier 1 versus Tier three above lightning even these three could be wider Kota with upgrade or also very nice and tiny great home easy expansion expensive yes at 600 gold but not really cancelable in Miss hunters at the fountain sees this creep camp being attempted Lin perhaps getting a little bit too ambitious buddy's gonna fall back isn't gonna risk it all here and we'll retreat to his side of the map there's still a lab to be taken which would perhaps be the level of foreshadow which is a big level up for that level to heatwave grunting umbers already low though yeah Lin is going more and more into ranged what we have been seeing from him especially against human moving away from grunts but grunts with ammo upgrades are still pretty good at holding the line against the huntresses it was a very good value for their money it's just 200 gold and he asked the upgrade and I'm not too sure about his upgrade levels but they should be there by now creep check a little bit again from displayed staffing out if he did me this no 2nd disabled and only a couple of meters back as he's engaging again good for the serpent Warsaw slightly chillin have fought a big manner that's why he's going in here again he has so many spells to use lightning shield coming in once again with a back to the fountain though this is really nice for the huntresses dragon this helping the orc a little like in Warcraft 2 one more hunters dies right there there is more mana for purchase and that's why he's going away from gun socket because it's going into berserkers he got the upgrade now on tier 3 head hunters turn into berserkers and with that they've become very powerful and the TC stun will disable the hunt quite a bit so they should have the time especially with the additional movement speed up the endurance aura to just move away from the hunts and not having a straight-up fight lasted on the dragon why big alchemists positions himself under the drag to pick up the item may be the ones bloodlust rah rah rah here we go so much more movements with an attack speed now all these orc forces late masses so big the blade masters so fast the blade mass to get so many critical strikes check what are you supposed to do against this there's no waste in this fight the attack speed is off the charts crazy level 4 plate master right around the collar is gonna be level 2 windwalk going for the alchemist once again there's no item only a staff has to do that there we go but now without he'll spread without acid bomb what can check do TC comes in stop and that must be to killed at the very least more and more aggressive rear just coming out Oh shadow meld sweet good let's the dragon oh stop what kill took kills and the dragon falls as well check is in trouble even though the supply suggests otherwise but triple hero tier 3 love lust there's no answer expansion is up at least but keep in mind Lincoln always counter expand quickly and you have absolutely has to go with tiny bait master scouting things out takes a look at the expansion sees ok that one's done didn't mine a single dime I think the one mistake Lincoln make now is go for the expansion and overextend he could just fall back get up the tiny and just keep on producing yes so severely out TechEd his opponent levels are really good as well TC you will of course have trouble to go to level 3 but that's about it 1 yield scroll for check no TP only one staff no or of course because he is not Tier three tiny Great Hall there it is he couldn't break check in this fight so he needs to got my nice scout though it was to be expected okay it's not a miracle that he sees this very good to know and very quick check was able to keep this competitive for a very long time his two to hundreds are certainly strong but he needs to have more at this point he needs more supply than just 55 what's the scrolls look like scrolls also crucial in these mass kind of strategy he's got one your scroll but this is org triple hero with bloodlust and berserkers blast that boggles my mind blood loss in the World Championships usually we only see the never-fail phone for Chuck needs whispers he needs worse yeah there's no way he can fight this without the detonates that's quite expensive in the long run constantly reproducing whisks also good mana drain though double-edged sword for check when we've killed that big black left on the plate once again one stomp is ready in a good position right there and hits it well where's detonates spelled some of the blood boats but more is available TC is in trouble getting focused heavily and almost dying but the involve will be there to save the third hero shed on toaster with decent man LF it's a lot of other man on this kind of scenario even double colanow coming in with the blood loss and with the devours has to try to go for the hero kill TP out by Lyn to be saved trying to save a second yeah I didn't think it was gonna be that close but Lynn knew he knew to pop the TP right away and oh my god check almost got the kill right there but Lynn survives the magic of acid bomb I'm or reduction is pretty good at Walker of three Lynn is fast enough to respond to this Huntress can wreck buildings in not much time double Cotto coming in now that double Cotto that Lynn puts out this tournament quite a bit and quite some matchups the endurance our our salt now a little bit of extra gold Lynn at 660 supply check is broke down and supply down in tech not ahead an economy not ahead in anything he's facing a Tier three bloodlust army when not having good means of dispel that is so scary would it be time to go for mass archers or something he's staying on these hunts the entire time battle for the next dragon hunters rien gauging but two of them almost dead and for mr. Carson berserkers that was well done but the blasted blade master the deeps are off the charts aiming for the shadow under one more time of the purges quick the surround doesn't stick mana potion shadows still in a bit of trouble but the keepers out of mana in will given over to the second hero as well look at his hands they are melting away right now crit after crit coming out we have a couple of his spells with a detonates but it's not enough check is plummeting down to less than 50 this is not a math strategy anymore he's just losing his masses while Linda keeps on climbing 67 supply now for the orc still almost a thousand gold for him and now Lin an absolute control of this game yeah not chasing not over-committing not pushing into a night off base with moon wells but taking the rest taking a bath take up the track and get another item heal up completely with orc so fast TC close to three level two storm ahead boots of Quel'Thalas okay and he's killed give me that level three crit give me that flat last and give me that damage we almost had a chance to see 400 crits previously in the tournament yeah don't know that the blade mass is quite so super stacked but Sauron totem I mean you could play those guys they could play maths which doctors right now and what still look good if it gives me the pleasure of planting a stance trap wgl can I love this many before it's hard it's hard to love anything even worry he is so strong he is such a machine he is single-handedly keeping the orc hopes alive this is turning five died five five five three or here levels Tier three bloodlust this is the scariest you can get basic this is like the dominance we expected but feels like this a little bit of back to Walker pleasure my god there's so much Rara going on dude Oh hairy Dragons coming yeah that's smart but is it in time I don't know what he saw it ok trying to break the expansion there is the town portal on the blade once this level 5 before this is the best thing I can do kill the expansion TP hope win the fight well win the fight it's kawaii 5 some write down that's not that easy I say but here level 5 this is so much there a lot lasted played the Expos down but yeah check guess the TP to save his base look at this damage it looks like these berserkers have FC damage pretty good look at this tree plus 36 thanks to the Cotto and bye-bye tree of eternity and easy kills on the moon was as well check is gonna be supply stack for all eternity mains expire though Turin Remo he gives you the pleasure of building a Turin during WGL view this is just for you I appreciate that limb thank you very much and check doesn't like stupid he's tipping back save that Turin purge he way if he survives hell yeah does and he does then can go for a new tiny he has all the money there it is 0-2 upgrades on the Turin as well by the way they're quite some jenkki boys seven are more oh yes pulverize of course great again stunts if it triggers it was the last bit of cash by Lin yeah if this expansion dies again and somehow check can survive and kill a couple of units he is still the guy with income Lynn has eyes everywhere yeah these century wards are not nerve because they are from the actual unit which doctors they have asked ten minutes which is quite funny what about the stairs Crabtree well if Lynn buys a bit more time gets a third base up on the high ground we might see them twenty five supply lead gets pickups with perch three hundred three hundred crit leonidas crit right there I've seen higher crits but I'm not sure if I have seen more DPS is still missing they're all above lightning by the way I mean he has I guess enough courage which doctor was sacrificed me off how do you feel about that I mean I was pretty sad when Hawk lost so this is just more daggers into my heart check how can you somehow get a win out of this game he needs some 300 IQ plays yeah there might be a but there's a lot of anti-air Salinas to react quickly but that's also a way to dodge the sentry wards to AP's are to transition the space looks pretty well defended but against tier 3 walk with bloodlust it's hard to keep anything alive yeah if the blade master is in these archers this is going to be a bloodbath so not too big so check forced you to fill my god I hear the rah-rahs blasted torrid bloodlust a tauren voice looking for the big stop all that looks pretty good we're trying to detonate this alchemist all those dead in the span of like two three seconds wisps do connect some what decently but they're still much more man are much more bloodlust left at least the T sees out of mana himself but it's GG no way to win this anymore Lyn with a very good game after a bit of a tough early he knows exactly what to do at all times and can even have style a little bit with bloodlust and torrent to get the one Oh this was an org what dream this was nothing but exactly that Lin no losses in the group stage and so far it looks like it but gotta give it to check until the late game he was way more competitive than I thought he didn't get demolished in the early game didn't get demolished in the early mid game he knows his opponent that's deaf like we can definitely see that and he played the new law light style with late expansion quick hunts quick upgrades quick tech with quick alchemists which i think is the way better way to play this if you played more eco focused like foggy for example you lose so much map control and we could see with there being quite a bit of strength in check in the mid game it was scary for a while grant died in the early that was problematic shadow Andrew almost got entangled surrounded and killed off was forced to creep very passively in the beginning and then was forced to run around the map evading check as much as possible but Lin also well he know exactly how to do it blade master was his job was scouting in the early game slowing down the keeper getting level 2 but there was all of his ambitions for a long time after that it was just scouting scouting scouting in the shadow gets the levels for the serpent war that's the first big power spike and Lind and realizing I cancel your expansion you cancel mine but that's fine we're on one base one base I have a very sturdy base with my reinforced defensive serpent wards if I'm in position and I can even go tier 3 and get all the tech I want which is exactly how I can easily beat you because you are on Hunt's I would love to peek into an alternative universe where that Shadowhunter surround sticks and he gets that kill and how the game goes from there it's an entirely different game true looking forward to the next one last refuge checks map number one will it be the expected - OH or does the old man have some tricks up his sleeve check versus Lin map number two let's go I must say I find a little bit surprising that this is the choice of check he's actually quite fond of this against human as well where other Night Elves don't like this map so much but especially here is one of the hardest Maps to be able to rely on levels on the keeper even level 2 can be tough here and it was here where the mirror image opening blew our minds seems to have fallen out of favor again a little bit but we haven't seen it yet so far this tournament to be fair we haven't seen too many night of orc matches at all Fergie versus fly the only one I think that okay [Music] so yeah that could be the case here mirror image really good to get out of untangles really good for scouting you don't really need wind walk you play it with Krypton master obviously the choice here we have not seen yet a big deviation from any night off is the keeper hunt Expo for months now I have been hoping for someone to show us the new meta and by someone I mean probably moon and show us a viable strategy that does not involve hunters and expansion but so far nobody seems to have found it if there is such a strategy sometimes bears dryads were attempted but they always seem very unreliable yeah same as mass riots didn't really work as well that's just good is it gonna be the mirror image opening the way this works is late master creeps at his green gets the first clause and with the mirror image as the first spell you sent the illusion across the map and can pressure the night off just by pulling out the rock golem making it impossible for check to continue creeping because neither would basically always go for treants first in the first camp of course is not enough for level 2 you need another creep camp following the first to get the entangle without that keeper always has a tough time but like masa doesn't start with creeping at all instead it's gonna be a circlet and aggression I like this opening always have to try to prevent keeper to as much as possible they glass it right here if the keeper steals this this is insane it's so hard so hard and Lin is playing wonderfully around it waiting a little bit let the keeper do the one right-click attack going into winter walk and with the extra back step damage secures the kill check wait a minute can you creep this with two treants and one Archer it really really really doesn't seem like that should be possible shop canceled is the best thing you can hope for here but even that isn't too likely and now it's just gonna have to fall back and this is the early-game problem for night off on LR you don't get to creep you don't get the level two and this is I think why it's so important for Orkut not to just passively Creeper not to give metal too over to the night of illusions here very valuable it's all about scouting it's all about slowing down this keeper we have seen quick level three keepers decide multiple matches even one or two here in this WGL we learned that in the horrible patch 1.30 that level three keeper can ruin your day very quickly it's quite nice the grunt is pretty much safe from the keeper and give some extra vision now comes in for the block with an illusion we could even surround him here oh oh oh okay gets the passaggio - grunts I think he was even possibly scouting for a piece I think there's 100 round here we can weirdly make a piece or was that somewhere else so let's check what you gonna do now with these number of funds creep oh my god look look at this presence what is this that's God right here getting the 20 XP from the tree and as well and the grunts covering the other side of the map he's everywhere and this is not scary for him at all because there's no little - especially for or it's so important to be efficient in the early game slow down your opponent almost always and get your own experience and it's so hard to do properly when Lin does it it seems like the most natural and standard thing ever but you need years of practice and expertise and perfect timing no way he's level 2 before the keeper he didn't really creep anything himself god damn Lin that dude this is so scary oh yeah gets the item as well watch the wards he pulls out b3 at lots this time so early of eastery a different build for sure jack is so desperate for experience but Lin is not giving it to him stuck on 1.7 okay now gets a little bit more okay there's not really a need to go into either so you can just play grunt shaman and be in a great position this game so I wonder why exactly that is we'll see how he utilizes them or it depending on how many he goes here it's good scouting it's great damage more piercing damage again stun it's always okay they are and stay on an archer Lin capitalized finally entangle finally a way to stop this plate master for a while give me a break Lin here comes the West Oh master said Andra creeping up at the natural is level two already will fall back double clause hey that's pretty nice for his first year old friend sweet scroll runs away plays it safe finally some damage two claws on the Shadowhunter this is starting off well for Lin it's not 14 damage already century what again so helpful fall in it's pretty heavy yeah not really assertive front line yet here you kind of want a high number of grunts to block and certain rewards behind that and like master could have found the cast let the expansion but instead is looking to team up with the rest of the army okay Lin playing it quite differently now from that one overage I do it again this time finally check get some perch though right clicks more perch plate masters entangled but forces the TP nothing goes wrong four check rows right so forces and transition into arches with us while I play oh I think he's in time to catalyst the hole well 60% archers are close by so it's the alchemists this should not be enough and yeah that feels like a bit of a mistake by 11 I think he didn't read this expansion timing it was a lot early of an expansion for check this time not going into so heavy huntresses and upgrades but yeah bit of a scouting mistake here but then he should have ideally been looking for this check I feel like has a much better mid-game here than previously shadow isn't double 3 yet Expo will be coming up early and Lin with his wind riders they can be really good but if they just get shot out of the sky by acid bomb plus archers they're not that good actually will take some time though item here about giant strength since more HP against of night masters always good who is super low by the way and now the wyvern they don't do anything when pulling out the girl P on for the Great Hall I think he spent the gold already look too sure Kansas the entangle that's annoying check still needs some time to find the right option umbers it's not leaving the archers over there treants - I think not deciding yet Lind ready with a counter expansion soon he's about to have the money here it's pretty late though this is gonna be about two minutes behind checks checks expansion now why do we see this filled spray I felt it was a little off in Game one it oftentimes hid not the unit that were attacked and wasted a little bit of the healing potential other night ups do this and I hoping to do a little better big damage again on the blade with the gloves of haste nice lightning shield it's the crown suite in the backline late masters able to go to the app chores that's the first one dying and spoiler alert there's gonna be many more and doesn't like the upgrades are there yet for check if you don't get two to one or two two hunts quickly they can feel pretty underwhelming against strong heroes and possibly wind riders archers not focusing on the wind riders either shooting at other targets instead and frontline is almost gone and again like what was check healing really in this fight always the same spot but nothing that's really hurt late master now in will potion going for the alchemist does he have something not really know he'll check they are already in a dangerous position perhaps could have been pushed and finished off but again no need to risk it why this was a great trade for Lin he killed a whole bunch of hunts and archers don't know how much he lost but it wasn't much that's definitely the team of the tournament right getting a little ahead and retreating we've seen this like in summer we've seen so many players fall trying to end the game and all of them have learned I haven't seen a huge over commitment or not too many and things yeah patience being displayed by many of these great players here this tournament as they're all getting older we have some young ones still in here what's his zero still in the mix a little feels like he's still 24 like forever but has mentioned his age as well in our interview said dad yeah he doesn't have that much time left so it's time to play seriously again he's committing hard to Walker at 3 again and he's feeling in much better shape than just half a year ago and it shows looking so damn strong the only org here in the top 8 but one of these strongest if not these strong is looking player so far this tournament yeah level 2 here away for over level 2 serpent Ward's also something we we really see as is oftentimes played with an earlier push but if you go for the long run in the longer game he wave definitely has more value if you have the damage anyway from the piercing damage Weber checks option numbers are starting to become okay the range is also good upgrades are 100 Li though I wouldn't mind seeing a walker transition I don't know if there's necessarily enough time for that he does want to see the Torrance ambi why was he Torrance well within but first one getting sniped pretty much immediately the second one is nicely connecting to the bank now there was pretty much picture-perfect with deadly mana is running low though here on lymph once the Gila wave is out he's gonna be having great trouble caving experience alive I think not a single unit actually died right there just a summons Lin bought more time Expo is now standing with at least one tower to fortify shop coming up as well I like that Lin pretty greedy not going into upkeep yet 1200 gold crazy now starts production spending 500 immediately going for the koto red spot for check he's also high enough did you see the upgrades yet for check its 101 oh only no coming wow that's late but it's probably gonna half the time I think it's 0-2 gets the tome which said are you happy limb pleasing everyone today well some battledrums that's nice fine a little three alchemists that took forever heal ward for the orc oh that always feels amazing against arch is a bit less good than it is against mass hunts only but yeah but also out of the fight just really good Oh plate master thank you good chunk of damage right there without the not thirsty yet mana potion on the Shadowhunter Linda's ready supply lead for the night off but you want to get stood to as it oftentimes is healed scroll in double heel scroll for Lin info posted mana potion let's go this game is really territorial so far and said I'm about where to position yourself where to threaten the tax and what parts of the map you want to protect especially fallen he wants to distract from exactly this point right here from his expansion but now falls back all the way across the map and this now gives check the opportunity move out big supply now 75 what she wanted with this strat is upgrade numbers and Scrolls one thing is he's lacking so far Scrolls oh the grunts oh that's his lucky day right there marches through the whole army and lives to see the next day medallion if check is doing an attempt to die for him again which seems impossible now though there's the dream position right here for check if you can fight behind this game following finally amo upgrades coming in this matters a lot for especially the huntresses next camp this is more experience for the shadow it's gonna be close to level 5 shadow hunter is it a second shop I think that's the second shop at the expansion witch doctors again look grubby ask I adapted this as well route braces scary-looking creep Jack over here check punching in level 5 on the set of hunter though and that's you know the big snakes of a big healing good focus fire on this one but the supports committed at the big 3rd a serpent walks level 3 its kind of protection how good is a blade master standing in the bag with a lightning shield there as well it got quickly dispelled however he'll spray into the back only we're dealing with the blade master damage is that the right position for this mass healing on both sides wind riders will finally be getting taken out by these archers but the way I see it checkers in way more down to 50 for supply he has lost 20 supply quickly in this little engagement losing more archers at least the heroes will survive but Lin now with the first time and forever has the supply lead with the arguably better late-game strategy that push by check was designed to threaten the expansion in the end it's zero damage to towers up tier 3 coming and Lin just holding on big supply lead once again check needs the transition right like something he can't play with us anymore and again I questioned the heel spray it was better this time than in the previous fights and the previous map I think but after hunts are there at the frontline they should be able to block but the few don't support with spray than they don't support you too much I think check just missed his window with this strap you don't want to fight 75 vs 70 you want to fight like 65 vs 50 or 55 everything just seemed a little bit slow this game Lin once again expert play especially slowing down the early game as much as you did from the sky grunts are supported by the ups to mana potions lost the won already everything pretty healthy which doctors coming in as well purchase everywhere like mr. white low used to heal scroll a crit could end this game yeah blocks himself a little bit sumptuous dies for this hip doesn't hit the keeper and that must be the end for the alchemist hurts right click and GG to Olin who he keeps on playing extremely well was there a mistake in that second game I'm not sure I can't recall one was the perfect early game for sure so many steal so much vision so much information never played before level 2 keepers just utterly ridiculous impossible yeah he wasn't beginning with creeping guys he was running across the map aggressively getting the circuit slowing down the keeper and he still is the first to level up to 2 that was yeah pretty much perfect play and this is the reason why I always have felt LR is a good work map some work just agree with that once you do lose a few creeps and the keeper does get a level 2 level 3 the whole map is always narrow it's always a little bit scary for orcs but if you play well around it the two wind riders did kind of make sense they force a lot of Archer transition in the end Oh Lynn I guess made one mistake he didn't expect the expansion coming up so early but it was ok he bought enough time for his own expansion to come up his positioning was perfect always in the middle never letting this run by happen where suddenly his expansion gets cancelled where check keeps on mining and then he gets overwhelmed by a big snowball of hunts and archers Cassandra Watts helped that he got but he fought for it so well deserved to get that item I feel check is a little uninspired we've seen from romantic he was not in the best position at times and then this crazy creep route or early game opening on a quiet Naga and human mirror you know these things you need to do to win certain games and check this just playing straight up and that's not good yeah perhaps a bit of a issue with the matchup it feels like from what we've seen at least night of is forced into this one strategy keeper hunts expansion question is just about the timing and the timing he is switching up it was a very late expansion on map one with heavy upgrades before but Lin was ready for that with evasive play Game two it's a different story it is a faster expansion with slower upgrades less map control for check but Lin was also kind of ready for that he was ready to fight and ready to position himself when he needed to be lid was also by the way practicing quite a bit with his clan made low light getting ready for this match and their practice seems to be showing he is aware of what can hit hit him he is aware of what he needs to be ready for and checks so far is just quite simply getting outplayed yeah agree what's the next map I don't know what check was what is Joyce was there to be fair with you honest with you but if not Terran essence not a Z I can tell you that much well the twisted then twist it could be a good car versus Lin yeah play something weird like I would actually love to see this little outdated ultra aggressive life build with an API engine of war rush especially the entrant of war rush seems so out of place that I guess Lynn doesn't expected he's super cheese proof and super tower rush proof but can you gamble items and creeping against talk on twisted you rather shouldn't yeah but early game already can be weird twisted such a big map you have a tough time scouting maybe he's expanding maybe he's all in mass Murg huntress pushing you maybe there's a PS you know there's so many things to keep track of and Lynne's early games so far have been absolutely impeccable being exactly where every single time we talked about I talked with hitman a little bit earlier and he was like yeah I I needed to come here to watch linen it's just such a pleasure to see him especially for all orgs like every early game of his you just want to take out the notepad and write everything down because it's just so beautiful and it looks so seamless and fluent when Lin does it but actually doing it as well is so damn hard so here we have a twisted Meadows will in fact be our next map our map 3 hopefully we're check can start his comeback otherwise this could be a quick 304 Lin yeah can we make this a series check do you have some power willing to fight in you he didn't gave up too early always prolong the game to the later stages but where can he catch Lin of God was this one shadow hunter surround his big opportunity in this series oh man look at him yeah he doesn't look very hopeful man this looks almost like resignation come here this to a previous GCSE match where he mimicked fog ease boxing gestures and felt quite powerful no no that's different fufufu and let us look in determined lin who by the way had a bit of surgery a couple of days ago there was something wrong with his bloodstream or something like that but that doesn't seem to be bothering him here much to o lead now for the orc the king of orcs the greatest orc of all time one step away from the top four check has the better starting position he has the mercenary camp lin only the shop and i wonder is the adventure going for the lab creep we see this more and more and more and it looks like it do you need it further South would still work like this I think it's too far north yeah I don't think it's close enough either your roommates wondering yeah love this observer so so so much no Chinese tournament should have another observer than this guy check has rolled the dice here a little bit twisted Meadows early game spawns always important and he hits the double nuts he gets the Merc camps pawn which is always always always better especially for night off with the ancient of war creep and Linda's scouting in the wrong direction so he hits the double 50% not draw that perhaps he needs to fight his way back here absolutely now he sees hears nothing it's a lot of time for check match points of course for Lin if he wins this map or one of the next two then he faces romantic in the semi-final and since Lin won't find check here early he's probably gonna go for circlets quickly that's gonna be a bit more time for check to creep the Merc camp or is Lin just blindly gonna run down here we've seen this that there's a gamble going on so far no heroes he's checked he messed up this creep before didn't he yep he pulled the rock on him too late maybe this should still be boulders now fully went back to the starting position [Music] ha okay he's going for the circlet wisp see is okay it's the Blake master no Farseer with that can you still go for cryptography the Golem is dead or the piece can be great three ways prepared by the way a lot of lumber let's see one then could go for the Shadow Priests here who wants end distance bite the Blake master taking some time this keeper didn't finish the camp quickly at all oh and the next one going to Lyn it looks like he's gotta get a little bit too much out of this light pressure at the first creep camp so well low lumber fallen at the moment grant comes in locks a little noise you shall not pass my friend yeah there is a reveal so the shadow mouth doesn't have them too much tech rolling yeah now there's no hunter soul right I think this Archer just pulled the creeps too late I think this should have been more kills we should be closer to level 2 again even an experienced this should not be the case but it's Lynn so more damage more spells use this dries out the moon world's quite a bit Hunter Saul comes now as well as the tech which is of course a ton later shadow priest and professor can check out this lasted it would be so important no Lynn mercy please not today he wants this championship so bad in the interview Lynn said anything other than first place will be a disappointment for him this tournament yeah that shows everyone should be scared remember day one how he destroyed th-th yes not making it look like it was th by the way - oh no mercy no prisoners it's been exactly three years since he went to his first and only grand final three to two against one to zero one of the best ever super competitive and it's ready to pressure more he's got the dust ready he can kill the next Archer keeper still isn't bevel - my lord yeah this is again the early game definitely going to the orc no doubt about that double kill a lot coming shadow hunter coming can you go from here Lin got your mercenaries Lin got your experience and the blade master okay for once Lin doesn't play a hundred percent perfect he might still be mortal guys perhaps at the start of the downward spiral at the start of the comeback check-check wants this kill he wants it real bad all shadows about to come out this could be act a surprise hex loses both okay alright two mercs die and level two for the keeper here to finish as well for Czech Alchemist time is he gonna try to play a little bit aggressively here and try to slow down the shadow perhaps he has to either that or start creeping but I mean items on this map for Linz style with grunts and shaman doesn't make that much of a difference check is going to the red campus good but is it that good that's a gamble I like it that's a lot of experience we'll see I guess he knows he gets the ring +5 but even so bad oh okay for creeping and it's actually kind of nice but for actual big late game fights you can't really expect to get a lot of kills early against orc doesn't happen that way three and two on a big map like this win what level two makes all the sense in the world so we mask for additional windwalk who that's gotta be so annoying look at the HP unchecked it not good both heroes are half dead oh he sees the wisp moving to the upper-left because that's where check wants to expand this must be lucky at this point right he revealed himself though so check knows the blade masters around okay reading for the rock golem though and two heroes lo has to be a TP with the Sentinel he sees the blade but the range isn't that big how much time is this big master alone buying again Oh does he get it no the item he would have loved that item yeah plus six agility but he gets the TP shadow Mel only level one crit and not the greatest item so it's okay reveal that's a psychological dominance play right there yeah in the meantime shadow is making great use at least time that he finds himself having check is trying it again bottom-left expansion that was the scouting it by Lin again so Chris Kelly staff okay of course Expo cancels classic move for this plate master finds the wisp all the way in the corner wow that was fast that name I guess he saw him with the owl first they tried to hide the wisp until he has the resources but Lin checks every corner twice under attack the next big camp the next chance of a scourge phone chimes gracious leave for potions check sees this but he's so far away that's why I ain't enough Wars to cancel this in a tower right away do it telly staff this tournament have been super effective we've been singing it over and over here we see a great usage of it once again this must be so frustrating Sharon turn now left without the blade master in the south a little bit dangerous but guess what Lynn went for the TP because he's playing it safe because he knows if he doesn't fall to anything silly he has a great chance to win here and make this a 300 check playing a little bit loony style trying to expand all across the map not at the bottom left didn't work twice he's trying to go for a different solution and enough energy and so we mask keeper gets crawls though Linda had better shop control in the earlier games denied especially Hill Scrolls a lot and it's even supply this is gonna be a certainly a cancel oh never mind it's finished and TP can you hold this it's not that big of an army yet to be honest it's gross double scroll actually yeah the grunts of nothing they are absolutely melting there is too much damage from the hunt and the Shadowhunters a little too far forward there's no way to get out of there check is pushing forward if he wins this fight he Kansas the Expos probably get wins the game check he has found a window here and yeah the shadow stuck yes shadow is Danny Allen is perhaps beatable oh he wants to get this keeper though there's a teepee trying to fault it with another perch can he do it though perch again there's more healing Bloxom selfless and this time the he'll spray seems to be on point late masters still trying to get through it with it oh but in tango so good right legs would walk this to heal little pigeon flies out water save how he evades the detection that was pretty sweet but of course the whole army died right there Lyn for once having a Miss Reed anticipating to be stronger than he really was and there we go check finally finds himself in a good position oh but the expansion was canceled the bow I know what's this one so the second expansion SAP or first expansion second base third one coming up check didn't look like he put on a fight here but that was crisp yeah these Huntsman I think they're to one upgraded Liam must be with protection scroll of with scroll of the Beast suddenly they're really good and Ellen wasn't ready yet despite that over for shadow knocking on the front door is check if he gets a counselor here this is gonna be very expensive to get the shadow back okay cancers already and this is normal supply differences now twenty ahead for the night off but usually we season it like 70 50 what is that supposed to do late master comes it has two Hail Mary fourth TP that's what he does I like to TP out here but check he's out of mana this could very quickly turn around with lburrows every other orc should tap out here but I guess Lin still sees the way out still sees the way back Soquel four blade he's not too far away from level five shadow but of course he is far behind there's no arguing that expen would be echo isles Lin's first shot or check comes in for the Jack again devotion aura suite support but how to get out again the hunt blocking the way he's trying to get the Zeppelin if it gets ensnared this game is probably over here oh the grunt so much damage here we go and he is James with it that was expensive as well yep 240 gold for the Zeppelin right there and he lost at the very least one shaman and check in the meantime first expansion mining second expansion coming up this is finally the overwhelming mass of Night Elf the check has to keep the pedal to the metal needs to put him under pressure he cannot allow Lin back in this game but very soon he can go into severe number of huntresses I'm talking ad supply here perhaps played lowlights I'll go Tier three just four three three upgrades yeah and then just right-click on the building we've seen plenty of times hunts killing strong holes with the bouncing blades for once there's not too much base raised potential in the origami piece damage no Raiders they're only staff back trying to get some writers from the shop but the shop is gone Zephyrs exactly shop gone Lin is supply stuck as well check pushing for the win on twisted and these hunts are doing a damn fine job tries to trigger the TP once again but without hacks blood and snare that's quite hard perch maybe but man this this jungle is almost surrounded by enemy units looks like it's gonna fall no saving this one anymore this would cost quite a few hunters but it's a worthy sacrifice TP out and stronghold is gone three mining basis versus zero this seems to be it check finds his lifeline what now still 20 supply close level 5 keeper four and a half alchemist 400 he lost a couple well that's totally fine the hunters per minute ratio it's pretty good right here thought she was proud somewhere in sweden there is an Oscar satisfied so no can't produce will never produce a unit in this game anymore limited phase raise potential the shadow hunters level 5 now if level 3 serpent Ward's win this game this would be quite hilarious oh great haul back expect that ok he has a lot of mana doesn't more separate ones do crazy damage he got that level three forever there's not the crazy plate master we have the previous two game especially no plus the Linda's getting quite skilled but manna is running out and once the shadow is actually out of mana this is probably gonna end soon here keep her in trouble for soon Big KRIT all of a sudden a nice seal way felon as well he saved a lot didn't lose a single unit pretty insane trade right there yeah so much like that like three kills once this keeper so bad there's still a TPU mass here wave check instead of running away has no staff all of the town portal check getting killed and the Zeppelin Led Zeppelin 24 supply limits finally crumbling he's putting up a ridiculously good fight for top chances he is but in the end he is without chances anymore this game he had to retreat I guess but I mean what else to do on the map if he gives checked more time it just expands more and more GG check is back in the series closing it up one two - alright it's not hopeless no he can win Lin for once misjudges thinks she can hold it the expansion and we can see there is still a big power spike for huntresses - two upgrades protection scroll scroll of the beast level for keeper level three alchemist and then they are still really good before or gets to its sixty supply with mass upgrades with master pin board setup there was a big problem there yeah shadow came in very late serpent wards never really got there in numbers and grunts melted away they're seemingly against the mask bouncing leaves but the early game was once again really really really bad exports getting canceled all over experience in the beginning getting stolen level two Blademaster again super fast but yeah he lost track once did one rat mistake and all of a sudden there are six display hunters killing your Expo and you lose everything because he wanted to defeat to defend it instead of like going for a counter kill just letting it go only the second player in this tournament to take a map of a flint and both my toes yeah after though alliance exactly would love to hear from Lin in retrospect now he must realize of course his mistake what would have with the proper play there would have been the proper play just let the expo die keep on creeping get level five shadow I think so that's such a hard call to make though but yeah that was check coming in there with a surprising attack finding the value out of the huntresses it's hard to find the right time to use them early on not that good yet when they hit the upgrades they're finally good but you have to find that window quickly before they once again become too weak with the orc catching up in economy and upgrades echo isles map number four Lynn's choice now here he's gonna have a much easier time keeping the enemy in check excuse my upon and make sure he has the superiority especially in items from the shop that is gonna be a crucial resource on map number four and Lynn said with the lead still with the match point still as the favorite to make it into the top four okay twisted Meadows was one of checks best maps against Lynn the next best map echo out surprisingly so I wonder what timings he has down on this map days it will be a keeper again it will be about expansions again and about timing pushes again but it's also about shop control and close as it oftentimes is in this matchup on this very map staying alive defending match point number one but Lin must feel comfortable this is his first map choice in this best-of-five everything but a keeper would be a big surprise yeah maybe a keeper here I imagine there's a bit of gambling going on on there coils in the early game with the bills you can try to go for hard counters here some night offs feel frisky enough to go for a greedy ancient of war creep at the Merc camp sometimes because orcs normally don't scout because they go for the one burrow tech and that can go unpunished we saw that most recently by Lyn reading that though from his opponent skipped the barracks went for the early scout went for the early speed scroll harass and just completely derailed the early game plans from the night of check isn't opting for this check is going for the save opening going for the safe creep so it's gonna be a bit of a slower progress on the keeper but it should be still a pretty reliable level to not again the disaster of last refuge okay we go creepin starts of course I always have to prevent nice but I guess check it'll go to state he doesn't do these mistakes unlike foggy usually well this is a nice start yep in the early game for the keeper always appreciated later on perhaps not the most valuable like master of course is helping for exactly the same circuit not too bad either creeps the whole camp not just the item carrier probably means he's not going for the middle early also means he's giving level two freely to the keeper was going for the safest opening he can yeah to green like way more passive than before and with that he asked the respecting tangle will certainly be checking out what the marketplace has to offer what's discounted today perhaps a class they're usually pretty popular on New York's own year so any for the ogre Magi second circle it is okay by is it from the marketplace so it doesn't have to go to the Goblin merchant and getting the kill here with the big item and the level two is nice but it's a lot of free rein for the keeper Wow goes to the orc expansion immediately and note also what the ground is doing the grunt is scouting if the grunt runs into the keeper he's most likely gonna die yeah but the big Invo is most likely worth it as well as critical strike ground is safe for now this couldn't be a game with a fast level three keeper something that Lin has absolutely prioritized not to give away until now if Flynn creeps this keeper will probably get level three and he doesn't know where's the opponent he's looking near no not here yeah this move this keeper movement it's also not normal right that usually you go for your own expansions as you want to expand at some point smart evasive creeping yeah and then he he doesn't know where okay this feels bad now losing map three then and the wisp scout so important playing blindfolded yep check notes now when the Blademaster is and knows okay I can creep these Morlocks no problem check is winning this early game absolutely one more kill for level three which he must get somewhere ideally the grunt Lin has been outmaneuvered for once good check and deciding to creep level two and giving check so much freedom I think that was just a mistake this Hot 100 for scouting also so nice some revenge for what keepers level three keepers right around the corner it's gonna be one grunt kill at the very least level to entangle of course can lin deny it that would be sweet he gets the berserker but what about the grunts not too much mana anymore as well ten seconds and he has the mana but he swerves towards the tavern attack this is a big one ready for the block okay check is definitely prepared my time yet speed scroll invested and Lin gets away with a black guy out of this early game that was a little sloppy right there the keeper definitely should have gotten that kill and whether you get one run or two runs in the early game makes a massive difference still one grunt is not bad let's not downplay this it's still big but there is one grunt to creep now what the Shadowhunter to help and sir will then be able to find check now and get as much information and prevent further creeping keepers full mana coming from the main with level three this is super scary Lynne is making life for himself a little bit difficult year on map for late master looking for expanding expansions but they're not ready yet litt Hastur turtle has to play passively like it was on concealed Oh late master almost sees it right away after the decision here we have two more look at the Lightning's your tray brilliant yeah it was like you see there's so many units so much a we wow-wow-wow again he's coming up with some new stuff or some stuff this is of course not the first time this has ever been done but then it's fighting into that without a Blake master he's right to do so great read now again violent forces the TP back gets at least a bit of experience from the rest of this camp and there will three and an item not sure what it is yeah level wise it's starting to get good to close on the night off not too great t2 is done no sign of an echo there's the building at the mercenary camp yeah that's the tree the peon might ask out for this there was a scout beyond here just a moment ago so the big masters not seeing that yet though shadow hunter experience still not where it needs to be wisp good scouting at the expansion sees the tower coming up it's a little hard to get they even write with check stealing the expansion in the bottom left and the neutral camps being gone it's pretty much only the total and going the turtle is always dangerous you can be getting creep jacked and stuck back there and there's no TP anymore of course on the orc side but check will be hanging around at the right hand like bottom right-hand corner of his side of the map so creeping there's also not too easy check it's both Scrolls again so important there it was a game-winner on twisted not even the involve here being bought by Lyn of course he has the big in Valenti ways are you trying to get one more last tip doesn't get it how come this is quite low oh here's the e poison ivy but he can't really push into this with a blade master with more experience for the shadow close now to the other three a few more tree ins will do it for him alchemist getting bashed big you'll spray for it this is a chance for Linton to punch she gets the hunt for free more experience almost level three same goes for the alchemist who's still hurt there must be owls no staff for check no TP for check then with a bit of a contain over here doesn't let the tree go over just yet dependent of energy for the archivist is so much healing equal supply never good a lot of time for Lin's expansion late with this nice move Lincoln just fall back he's got his own expansion up soon is it scroll time already I think the second scroll should be ready now right here go for the scroll from the early this was one of the best check early game what can he do with it Lin engages into the Berserker Oh mr. crisp and tangler came in kind of stopped it there we go now gets the level three and that should be serpent Awards to right here strong protections pretty good late master in a bit of trouble Lin is committing deep yeah he doesn't really have to do this he's got his own expansion coming up Lightning shield oh the blade master has to go for the in will it's the big one grunts of falling rather quickly yes still the upper hat don't for the alchemist now what can he do only heal himself for little there's still no staff a little bit up in you he's died ready Get Set level four blade went walkout no and tango used two more grunts about to dive oh yeah well one at least traded for a huntress there was close it looked like for Lin everything was about to fall right there check lost a lot more than I thought was down to 38 immediately reproducing hunts and Alchemist or the plane if you cancel this would be really big keep as far away it's a little bit late though don't inventory down the blade good right clicks next heal scroll as well going to lanes so important shop control as we know more kills for check gets another grunt rises and levels with the keeper this didn't do too much three grams about to fall he has more mana this tower though now in tower range that helps a lot and there's a borrow as well he can load up hundreds is not healthy enough to fight into this no way oh the blade canceled especially without the heel spray this is not possible this was a scary early game by Lin make no mistake but he held on didn't fall to the level three keeper earlier expansion for him reinforced defenses and good levels Creek to certain Awards two of the damages here now it's cross protection for check he needs to get these Scrolls it's so hard Nate no matter anymore right no this could be the killer right here well shut up written range there is a Shadow Priests yeah but uh Jack still dead Oh Lin what are you doing and that is the kill for check oh boy the old man is fighting his way into the series this is his expansion this is mostly the next chop timing blade little for there's about 580 gold or something yeah tavern maybe even a little bit more he does have the time for this though okay there we go this time it's no Tier three this time it's no bloodlust a torrid yeah it's not that comfortable of a game it's not that easy to feel secure right now we certainly felt that Lin takes this through you know maybe he himself felt they would go this way check pudding a very good fight Lin with the risk now check also looking quite confident going without GP or interval to the shop with the keeper in front what this scrappy del foreshadow that's a big level up for the new wave okay getting better check his pushing but Lin has the supply lead and the tower and the borough and the shop breaking this is not easy he started mining a lot earlier so if this goes into super late check will be the last player mining both have a heal scroll Lin without TP by the speed scroll only one though headhunter transition but it's no berserkers take out nice option Scout sees manliness coming one speed street bad to prevent the koto and I was putting his forces sure to get both and I guess it's the right call consider TP out if he wants to now feeling the attention not getting the piece tree would be bad at this point he pees out has to turn around isn't the piece tree is it is it yes all right gets the beast jury but the koto is there already as I guess the most important thing check bought time with the still run by into the main but time for what to get more production I guess he has one more armor upgrade to achieve but Lin he's accelerating more he is getting stronger in comparison and that he still has the supply lead at this state of the game is quite baffling now not losing a hero in this fight he has the resources for a mana potion for a shop most likely as well we have an envelope he'll scroll check is losing more and more of the scroll timings I feel after such a TP of course can I like to move wall at the expansion I like the archers across the map but slowly this is feeding little little and this next attack wherever Lin decides to go it's gonna be scary with double level for heroes with double heal scroll which what must be two armor upgraded grunts and shaman with a lot of mana is this your push into the semi-final against romantic or can check hold this love the moon well he has production here at least for now trying to hold this with not detonating equal supply favors the org for for Heroes favors the orc to yield scroll favors the orc what can check to turn protection at least partly useful over here heals been looking rather good right there but hunters are still dying late master tanking most of the damage that's exactly how Lin wants this first heal scroll comes in great effect therefore the orc now lightning shields in the back plate master and grunt the wide receivers you're diving far into the deep backline and Lin is pushing forward some damage on the AO wo blade master may be in trouble it's super low needs to heal wave gets the here wave and now it's mostly artists remaining the front line is gone and then the plate master can do whatever he wants grunts as well in will potion this is not looking good for check another he wave and the useful isn't available on the blade master can use that if he wants to eat but they could be your hero kill right there level up gave him quite to mate for you now we have to at level three surrounding the alchemist once again is that the hero kill for the semi-final it looks like it level 5 for the Shadowhunter as well so much healing and the plate masters still bloodthirsty still wants more kills it's only the kefir and only some archers here we go backstab you we go purge critical strike with the blade escapes and the keeper whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo survives as well didn't expect my man but I want to end this the blade wants to end the semi-final now and he gets it was split second before check goes to the moon wells and that's a jewel Park in the semi-final against romantic the chieftain remains the best orc in the world is in the Final Four we will see him on Saturday in mab one and two check looked hopeless on a slave but at least the night oath proves that he wasn't worthy adversary gets map three and made map for really close that was a scary early game for Lin one of the few mistakes shown there by Lin this whole tournament too passive in map for for once want to get the items why to get the experience want to get that level to want to get the ogre Magi gave too much space to that keeper and that almost backfired hard on him and not getting that second grunt I think that was a big deal in that match it's a lot to nitpick on I know but against Lin you want to make use of all the openings you can get but Lin so smartly realizing that he was able to stall the expansion and was able to get his own expansion coming up kind of like it was an L our night off with the earlier expansion but Lin with good positioning on the map once again buying enough time for zone expert to come up once that's reinforced with a burrow tower shop you can hold off even against superior numbers you can be down by 10 supply maybe even more Lin never feeling forced to go all-in always ready to counter expand never really losing control outside of map 3 I guess and looking very very strong here moving into the top four yeah one of the biggest contenders for the title check though was cool to see that long of the series when the better he became game 1 and 2 or kind of throw away games from him pletely demolished or dominated and map one especially in the last seven eight minutes or so game two wasn't the greatest either twisted start didn't start good but then this super cool push which I love to see with the scrolls echo was probably from start to finish his best map well yeah Lin is just too strong so check prevented the zero through zero three that a lot of people expected he's back in the top of the world apparently with an easy group granted but good showing good improvements enough to see that and yeah cool to have him in the quarter-final of the last Frozen Throne World Championship a little bit of history was written here and Lin still check can't beat him for more than ten years now that is so crazy his nemesis his next point though he has shown plenty of times in gold leagues that there is a tough one for Lin romantic has been one of his biggest nemesis in this tournament back in the old days of base pushes and tower pushes Lin multiple times said romantic is the scariest human to face out of them all over in fee over th it is a very different matter now of course but they will be meeting again in the round of four that will be our first game on Saturday now we go into the bottom side of the single elimination grid and we started with two Russians one is left and that's the world champion he steps into the biggest undead mirror that the world has to offer it's happy the emperor verses one to zero the necromancer undoubtedly the best undeads that we have maybe ever there's pretty much there's a lot of discussion but i think we can say the best to undeads ever clashing in the quarter-final one will survive one newbie players already they're happy could destroy the dream of a new be grand final and keep his dream of defending the championship alive i am looking forward to this and that mirror a lot yeah absolutely they have met in the past before it went in Happy's favor what new things have won 2:0 come up with because this happy show us the new meta here highly highly we can doubt that he's gonna play Stan he's gonna rely on his execution it's up to one to zero it feels like to outsmart the opponent to come up with something special to win with a big brain plays yes a little break coming up so tell your friends that this is happening here first time ever won 2-0 vs. happy and if you have some time in between
