Oh, it's looking good. They're trying to kill each other out there. Come on. Fist bump to make it official. We are going to the tournament stage. What are we talking about? Intro. I don't know. Intro? All right. Yes. I'll be quiet. Don't worry about it. Let it go. Here we go. Onaka is right, child. She's nuts. And we're stopping her. Raiden has walked your mind. All right. Here we go. Magnificent on the left and dragon on the right. And a lot of this is going to be about how to contain Jackie. No. Just like that, Nivix in immediately. I don't know if you want to contain Nivix or Jack because I think Jackie is the caged animal here. Well, she's not in the cage right now. Big whip. Here we go. Oh, that could have been so much. The geyser. Just right back in. This is upgraded Jackie. She gets the ball rolling. He's throwing these leaves out with bad intentions. He's trying to get in there and make it happen. Of course, she can sweep the sky. What a read here. Don't you get it, though? Don't you get it? It's tough. It is. It's tight timing. OK. Just chucking the stage at him. And of course, you can see that does sweep the sky. And her main way of approaching, especially from this range, is going to be through airborne approach. One leap is all it takes. Hell's wrap. OK. The call out. Wow. Where's the health lead? It's gone. Yeah, what are we looking at? A big advantage for Nivik for a while. 2%. He fakes it. 2%, though. Oh, boy. This is where he needs to be, dragon. Wow. That was a punish as well. Forward, one to keeper, and check. Round one goes to a dragon. However, finds himself cornered here. Think about how that round started out. And how well dragon battled back. Here's a chance. Big chance. It's a lot of damage with no chance for the break. Move made by dragon. Great escape. Uh-huh. And he gets out of here, of course. And Nivik's maybe feeling comfortable. Oh, the range was almost there. No whip punish, though, from dragon. The stare down. And this has come up a couple of times so far. Nivik has been willing to just stay still. The delay. Oh, from downtown. Just a cool 240. Another one. Great punish. Wow. That's a good one. I feel like that might have been able to get there. Yes. Down three, huh? And he goes right for the fail. Oh, wait a minute, David. Wait a minute. This might be it. I don't know about the scaling. 7% left. Let me see those shields. Oh, no, that's it. It's going to be enough. Yes. Wow. What is the first game by dragon? Because I really feel the way that that started out was so explosive for Nivik. He just came in there. He dealt a ton of damage almost immediately. And yet, even in that first round, dragon battled back. All right. Very early. Nivik is asking for his coach. I have no idea who his coach is. Let's see. Surely not his team manager. It's legacy of Kaiser. Nivik there. Oh, it's on Kratos. OK. Having a little chat. I don't think this is going to be about a character switch. Just to be maybe about identifying something that Nivik maybe missed or is wondering if he is missing anything. Possibly. Bear in mind, you can only call in your coach once per sets for a minute each. Didn't even need the full minutes. No. Oh, well. Again, I mean, the way that it started out was pretty positive. Yeah, absolutely. But then again, the snowball effect. It's the boulder effect going down that hill. Yeah, you can put it that way. Well, that really was a big change of things. Even though in the second round, we didn't see a lot of the boulder. The job that it did in the first round to knock down Nivik's approach, I feel like, had a big impact on how the second round went. I respected him as well. Yeah. Patience there from Dragon. Zenyatta, punish. Break confirmed. Yes. Already 250 even before that. One more defensive 12-4 Dragon here. OK. Stealing a bunch of turns right there is Dragon. Playing this character who is not just about zoning, as you can see. OK. Chance on it. Almost confirmed that David. What? But confirmed. Look at this fairy button seed. Dragon senses the moment of fact. Oh, almost backed off. He was looking for a counter hit. That standing one is such a pain in the neck for Nivik right now. Look at this. Take off so much space. And Nivik is trying to walk out of that range to maybe start things off from back there. That's exactly what Dragon read. Air to air challenge. Dragon seems ready for everything here. He does. Yeah. Footsies up close. Pressure times. The answer is he can mostly be there. Block for there. OK. Kick. He's trying to mix it up. David gets smart. It's a blow. Time is slowly becoming an issue here. 17 seconds. Oh. Oh. OK. Beautiful anti-air.  That was a really good awareness that situation hadn't come up yet. Nivik was ready for it. And he's going to start this with setting on in the corner. Round two, fight. Let's see if Dragon gets out of there. Nope, just walks. No whiff punish on the ground. It's over the whole situation. And that's going to be a punish into the full thrush. 2-1, 3. Removes the defensive meter. So even. Uh-oh. That range has been killer. Dragon's so buzzing, so much in control that he feels he can go in for a grab. How do we go again? Here we go again. Whoo. Beautiful. Oh, again. He's so ready, David. Get defensively has been so strong. A lot of walking out of Dragon. Got under a couple throws now. Vignada's whipped. Move, man. Oh, looking for a grab. Nothing came. Dragon with a life lead. And again, these individual hits in that range are really adding up. Stagger pressure from Dragon right now. You can see the kind of control that Setchion has in about that third to half screen range in front of her. Slow approach for Nivik, and no buttons on the way in. Wow. Continuous to string. Calls out the movement. That was Nivik just trying to wake up with something. Yeah, it's a grab. Even there, Dragon's getting everything right. That chip adds up on that. This has got to be frustrating. Oh. Doesn't get it this time. No. 9% left. This is almost a climb. Not going to matter anyway. Dragon, convincingly taking it, and the DualShock controller is officially disconnected. But it's only two. Well, that was only two, and it's first to be set. Best of five. Oh, it wasn't him. Oh, it might not have been him. Uh-oh. Well, talk to me about the match so far. It feels like there's just been so much control from Setchion. It's so interesting, though, because if you really think about it, how is Nivik allowing him that to do with the 9-frame mint? 4-3? So interesting to notice, isn't it? But that range where Dragon's been pressing that button is not in 4-3. Jackie 4-3 range, right? It's a little bit outside of that. That jab should be 7 frames, I'm pretty sure. Standing 1 from Setchion. If you put it that way, yeah. I mean, and he's so good with the movement currently. Seriously, yeah. Wow, he knows exactly what button to press and where to press it. Oh, wait a minute. You're actually allowed to get him twice? I guess. I assume they have things under control out there. OK, maybe the next one will make the, you know, will matter the next place. It didn't matter that much, did it? Didn't have a very big impact. So the rule is that they get one minute total and I guess that can roll between rounds. Yeah. OK, to be fair, that was no near a minute. No, the first time was just a few seconds. You're good, you're good. Here we go. And Guido's keeping his eye on things. Well, that might be about it in terms of the time he can spend. And of course, if he loses this next game, it's over anyway. Yeah, that's true. There is no more coaching from Nivik's side. I think that was a straight rematch. Oh yeah, I don't think there's going to be a switch. All right, Nivik, what do you have left in the tank here in Winner's Top 16? Let's see it. Yeah, now's the time for the adaptation. It's just, again, Dragon's been taking up such good spots. I think he's got the bitimits with all these leaves because, you know, Dragon has all the answers for it. OK. First time we've seen that. Once more in the corner, one-one pressure. Piñata. Oh, I just didn't expect a second. Too far, just see the movement action from Dragon to get right outside of it. Beautiful stuff. Nivik with no bar to break. He's just stuck. You're taking the damage. Even though it's not as much as upgrade, it can pump out, there's so much damage individually over time from such a round. Look at this, the patience. And he waited for the throw. Nothing preemptive about that time. Again, this is the range right here. This has been such a problem. For Nivik, it's been Dragon just absolutely controlling that spot. Oh, late break away as well. This might come back to haunt him. And it's well indeed, as it's going to be match point. Patience, Dragon. Again, just looking in complete control. Every aspect of the stage, Nivik has to find an answer here to this all slot. Even a little bit of back and forth from Dragon here. He's really spending a lot of time just, I mean, he's doing things that are, they are counterable and some of the strings he's using, the movement he's doing, moving around. There are these moments here just like that, where Nivik could be attacking, Dragon's hitting them so well.  We were talking about how she seems like an uncaged beast and I gotta tell you, the bars are up right now. The pad locks on. Uncaged fall for you. Okay, get something going. Nivik, make this count. Probably gonna see a teleport from Dragon at this point. Ooh, he's hit a couple. Ooh, fake. Tricky business. Now he gets to build some space. Oh, the down, down from. Downtown, the down two coming through. What's it gonna be? The dash punch, gets a throw, escape, play as Dragon. Through out of the corner, nice. Uh-oh, one, one. Ooh, close to getting around. Oh, so close. So confirmed from Dragon. Wait a minute. They're both sitting on the faddles. Time, 13 seconds. And there you go, Nivik takes it and by the way, in great positioning here is he's gonna still be maintained corner. You're nothing. Nivik is still alive here, but he needs so much more. Match three. Will there be a teleport? I think that's what Nivik is looking for right there with him backing off. Ooh, I love this. The fake, yes. Re-stand. Finally challenging all that stagger and nonsense. Yeah, again, exactly. That rains right there. That button timing is something he just didn't have before. And now he's finding some more moments. Uh-huh, first time. Yes, ground pound. Trying to press buttons afterwards. Dragon forced. Wall is blocked. Ooh. Ooh, this is gonna be a lot. Is it enough? No! Okay, okay, okay. David almost had a situation, but it's gonna be good. Nivik is on the board here. And it was really, I think, a lot influenced by him challenging at that range that we're talking about. Finally. Some down ones in there, some four threes in there at the little kick. Not letting those staggers get to him that last sequence. Pressing. When he's allowed to press, I mean, Cetron isn't plus. She's good. Like, you know, fast startup. Sure. The range and all that, but she's not plus. Right. Yeah, no, it was just an understanding by Dragon that he expected Nivik not to press buttons, and he was right. Right. But that is, as you said, it's a mix-up that Nivik can get on the other side of. We'll see if he can keep that up. But, you know, Dragon is one of the best at quickly learning and adapting. Match four here. I think Dragon's probably happy with that trade. Just get her away. No completion. Here we go, the confirm for sure. Nivik trying to just try not to lay, but very little commitment from Dragon. That's been fine. Out of there. Yes, this is that range where he needed to press buttons. He did last time. But, Dragon, understanding that, backs off just slightly. Well, he could get the whip on us. That was just gorgeous. What an understanding of Jack's range is right there from Dragon. Beautiful. And this will be chipped. That range is fine. Yes, here, definitely, and Dragon's favorite, 7% left. Just like that, Dragon, once again, on match point, big cyberleaf from Dragon. Well, I think that cyberleaf is dessert because he did a lot of the things that he needed to do there. And you can never feel too comfortable versus upgraded. That's true. There we go. That's one of the reasons. Plus, what was that? Well, I don't know, but it was lovely. Just melt it away. Hey, one, down two. Oh, Nivik's making the mix-ups work. He's still in there. Here's a chance. Oh, I can't believe it. Okay. And Nivik. Can you get it started here? No throw tech as well. Wait a minute. Binyada's blocked. Leap. Is he a leap? It's a threat. No anti-air. Out of there. In there. Jack, you're trying it out. Here's a big chance. No. No, no continuation. This is so scary. Kept it up. Nivik didn't expect it. Okay. Okay. Well, while here's Nivik. 8%. But you can't take it slightly here. If Dragon finds two more combos, it's going to be over. Chip is an issue, David. Chip is an issue. Get something up with the four and two. It's a one throw. No, he needs more. No fake to blow, David. He's going to save it. He's taking it to the clock. Look at the time. Look at the time. Nivik, wake up. It's time to go to work. Two, one. It's not over yet. Wow, David. It was time to go to work. Nivik is still alive here. Goes for the low. Only the second time in the set. Just outside of range. Yes. Whiff punish. Didn't think it was hitting, I guess. Oh, input error. Oh, no tech. It's Dragon. First little stagger in that way. Comes Nivik. Here comes Nivik. Oh, no. No Christian blow. Dragon might be flustered here. Very rare to see this kind of thing. This is all of a sudden much pressure from Dragon. He didn't take a lot of life in the first game doing this. Out of the sky. Will there be a break? Yes. Okay. This might be the last breakaway. That is plus. Advantage. The joke that we said. Okay. Nivik is where he needs to be. Oh, no. Not enough. Steps right in there. Is this going to be it? Don't drop this. Three percent. This is just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Nivik stays in there. Two to two. He's got all these skin, his teeth and some situations. She's saved, I think, three match points in total. Nivik with the right mental fortitude. Wow. And look at his face. There's no appearance of being flustered there. There's somebody who looks like he's calm and. Maybe not on their faces, but in their game play there is. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. From both of these gentlemen, how can you not? No, I don't know. Final combat. $100,000 on the line. changing stuff, you better be flustered. But this will be it's final match of the set, who wants it more? Uh-huh, will he spend it now or is? Not going to go for the crush yet. Restance, escape failed. This is mercy. And there. Mm-hmm, the leap. Okay, great confirm by Dragon. Standing situation yet again. This is round one, Dragon. Ooh, it was almost. Whip punish, very nice. Can he get third time? No. Oh, beautiful spacing from Dragon. Late break away, I don't know about that. 11%. Yikes. Oh, you know, he may have thought he had defensive bar still. He did not. He did fall, spark into the hop and that's just not. Put your knee there so it's match point for Dragon. Once again, Dragon on match point. Nivik, can he clutch it out one more time? No, we're punished. And this is now starting up a little bit more Dragon, but he is more cautious than we had seen previously. And very, very light as we do stuff. Wow. Huge call out. Kick and confirm. Almost, almost. Into some damage at least. Okay, grab that. No continuation. This is falling apart. You need something big. Cloro escape coming through for Dragon. Oh, it's still doable here for Nivik. Out ranges. He's looking for that leap. He is looking for that leap. Yeah, that's definitely the name of the game right now. Dragon is being very cautious. Okay, okay. This is doable. Oh, maybe not. I don't think this is gonna kill. Oh, that is so smart. That's pretty cool. Yeah, the range as well. Okay, wait a minute. Can he get that? No. He did punish it. That was the one time. And I don't think he meant to do that interactably. He's alone with the place, David. Oh, he might just block here. He might just block. Oh, look at him. He's a little buzzing me. Make his way through. Yeah. This is not gonna matter. Look at the time. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Wait, wait, wait. Two throws, maybe three? If he finds a hit confirmed. So Dragon's definitely just gonna block everything for sure. Throws are not gonna be enough in time, and Nivik knows it. Nivik knows it. So Dragon ends up timing out to take it. Three, two, one. What a way to take it.


This is Denmark, ranked as the second happiest country in the world, and it's easy to see why. It's got beautiful scenery, it's a country rich in culture. Everything from music to movies, to sports, and in Denmark they speak Danish. This is what it sounds like. If none of that made any sense to you, don't worry because Denmark is one of the best English speaking countries in the world. I mean, just listen to these people. And when I see and talk to newcomers and talented individuals from all around the world who come to Denmark for their career, I see people who are surprised by the quality of life they find here. And so it's no wonder why thousands of international students want to come to Denmark and study in English. But then this happened. My study program is being cancelled now that I feel finally settled in. Why would this happy, developed English-speaking country suddenly cut off the majority of its English programs at university level? And why is this a massive threat to English education in the entire EU? The answer is in this paper. Agreement on the reduction of English language higher education. But before we can understand this paper we need to understand I don't speak Danish, so State educational support is an excellent translation for SU and we're just going to keep calling it SU because I don't know how to say SU was created all the way back in 1996 as a way to encourage Danish citizens to get a PhD and it was so successful that they then expanded it out into masters and bachelor's programs. So what is SU? Why is it such a big deal? Education in Denmark is free at all levels but of course you still have to deal with living expenses and a lot of Danish students were just choosing to get a job rather than get a degree. SU was created to encourage them to pursue more higher education. It works by giving students a monthly payment. Denmark pays its students to go to college and it totally worked. The EU's database euro stat does not go back more than nine years, so I can't personally validate this data. But if Timothy Hicks is to be believed he'd crunch the numbers back then and SU had an immediate and massive impact. University enrollment for young people shoots up from 30% to about 60% in just a few years. Everything seems great. Danes are going to college, they're getting paid to study. What's the problem? There was a big one. Actually a very big problem. See SU was only available to Danish citizens or migrant workers who had been living in the country for a few years with employment and that is not okay. That like violates every principle of the European Union. If you're a citizen of a European Union country you're also considered an EU national and what that means is that you are entitled to these same rights as a natural born citizen of any of the other EU countries when you are there. In other words if you're a German and you go to Denmark you should get the same exact rights as Danish citizens. This is like the main philosophy behind the EU. It's kind of like the whole concept. So in 2013 just after the history channel drops the show Vikings the European Union parliament releases this bombshell. The commission staff working document impact assessment accompanying the document directive of the European parliament and the council on measures facilitating the exercise of rights conferred on workers in the context of freedom of movement of workers. This over 100 page document specifically called out Denmark for limiting access to SU by imposing a residence requirement on other EU nationals and then the EU passed a law saying you can't do that. With the new EU rules every EU national is eligible to go to Denmark and get SU right away. So I want you to put yourself in the shoes of a young European who wants to study in English like maybe you're Princess of the North Spain and you're looking for an English language program somewhere in the EU. Well there's obviously you know English in the UK but the UK has voted to leave the European Union. Yeah so you keep looking and you check out maybe the Netherlands. It's the number one destination now for English language degrees in Europe.  So you keep looking and there's Germany and Germany is free. You don't have to pay almost anything to study there. Seems like a good deal but they don't give you money to study and that brings you to Denmark. Here's your best option. Classes are free and they pay you. So if you were a Spanish princess what would you choose? Europeans started to flock to Denmark to get SU and the numbers don't lie. You can see a major increase in the number of international students from other EU countries and a massive increase in the number of people that qualify for SU after the EU's 2013 decision. But why is this such a big deal? I mean they're just giving a few hundred Kroner a month to these people. Like what's it really matter? Why is this a problem for the entire EU? This wouldn't have been a problem if most of those people stayed in Denmark and then paid taxes and put money back into the system to make up for what they took but that's not the case. In fact, only about a third of Denmark graduates from other countries stayed in Denmark and got a job. The majority went back to their home country and that is what brings us back to this. The agreement on the reduction of English language education in Denmark. The SU costs for migrant workers are significantly above the level of the EU's. The estimated costs of 576 million Kroner in 2020. The agreement agreed that the SU expenditure on migrant workers reduced by reducing access to English education. Professional bachelor programs with a total admission of approximately 650 training places that can still be offered in English. Denmark decided to slash English programs down to the bare minimum. SU was just going and they needed a way to reduce that but they obviously couldn't exclude other EU nationals. So the only solution was to get rid of English language education. Obviously people aren't going to come to Denmark if they're going to have to study in Danish. This is bad for everyone. This affects the rest of Europe and it affects you as an international student. It affects you as a European citizen. It affects even you if you're living in Denmark. There are not a ton of English language universities in the EU. Countries like France don't even offer undergraduate programs in English in their public universities. Spain has very limited offerings mostly from private universities. Countries like Austria and Belgium have very few English language programs which is why we haven't even covered them yet. Your best options have been the UK which is no longer part of the EU, the Netherlands, Germany and then Denmark. Those students that would have gone to Denmark are now going to have to look somewhere else and since the Netherlands is already packed and barely has room for more international students that means they're probably going to end up in Germany. What happens when all of these people who wanted to go to Denmark start going to Germany? And then Germany has another budget crisis where they're spending too much money because they give education for free. What if they start cutting their English programs? The EU is trending now towards an old school European situation where every country is just going to teach in its language and that's going to kill the flow of students from one country to another. It's going to destroy English language education across the continent and that worries me. The ban for English degrees isn't going to decrease. If anything it's going to increase because every study shows that when you master the English language you make more money. Countries that speak English better have higher rates of economic growth because they can engage in a global market. Learning English is good for nations and people. So why are we killing programs in English for the university level? And what's most frustrating about this whole thing is that there's an extremely easy solution. Right now Denmark has to pay sue for all of those international students that come from other EU countries. Why not just make the other EU countries pay sue for their citizens? Instead of Denmark paying for a German to get sue, Germany should have to pay for that German to get sue. And if that happened it would encourage governments to promote their own kinds of sue programs. It would also encourage countries like France to make more programs in English. Instead of punishing Denmark for creating a benefit for its citizens, the EU should be punishing the other countries for not innovating enough. If Europe doesn't change the way it handles this situation it could mean the death of English language university education in the EU. And none of us want that. If you're still here then I just want to say thank you so much for watching this to the end. It means a lot. I hope you found this interesting. I actually this is the second time I recorded this video because I was first just going to do a quick update on like hey how to study in Denmark video is basically obsolete now and like here's the few English programs that are left but I realized it was more important to talk about this issue and some of these things that are happening in Europe. I think it's important for us to understand these things so that we can maybe pressure things in the right direction because the European parliament needs to understand that its current policy will destroy English language education. It is not okay. And the only way they can change it is if people speak up and explain that and the only way people are going to do that is if they know what the problem is in the first place. So that's what this video is for. I appreciate you watching it. If you're new here thank you so much for checking this out and I hope you come back to visit some more stuff. If this is not your first time here again thank you for coming back like it means a lot to me. I hope to see you next week.
