Well, I haven't been in a relationship for a long time because I haven't found the relationship style that fits the kind of relationship that I like, which is a little bit more free and a little bit more loose. Meaning that I need to create a space where I can still flirt. I can still be myself. Does that mean I'm going to be out running around the city on you? No, but what it does mean is that I'm aware that I am attracted to the opposite sex a lot. I don't need to be emotionally attracted to them, but sexually I am. Well, I got to ask the million dollar question. Are you comfortable with your partner also engaging? No. Let's have lovers and friends. We're about to talk about one of my favorite topics with some of my favorite people. We're talking about open relationships. More specifically, we're talking about consensual non monogamy and how difficult it can be to start these kinds of relationships given the cultural climate that we're in, given a lot of the misunderstandings on these kinds of relationships in general, and the lack of role models. And so in this episode, you are going to hear from Rome Green Jr., who was somebody who recently discovered that he is better suited for consensual non monogamy, but is also still figuring out a lot of the other bits and pieces that go with it. You're also going to hear from Jared Brady, Sunny Megatron and Ken. Sunny and Ken are actually role models for me in the consensual non monogamy world. I think you're really going to enjoy this episode. And if you want to know where to go to find that, please go to the info box and click that link. But hopefully you enjoy. Hope you enjoy. We're here to talk today about feeling like you can't be successful in relationships or you aren't the kind of person who should be in a relationship, but later learning that it's not relationships that you can't be in. It's monogamy and the style of monogamy that's pushed down our throats in mainstream culture. Yep. That's exactly it. That's the title of the episode. I have learned so much about myself within this last probably year to year and a half, being in therapy, talking to my dad, learning like certain triggers when I was in certain relationships and how I deal with those now. And I'm like, okay, I figured out what my style is even from the test that we took that you, uh, that you forced on me, but I enjoyed it because it really, that was, I think where the shift started because I always, me coming from a background of living in the south is tough because you grow up, it's like you be with this one person and don't you ever leave them. And if you leave them, you're bad. And if you leave them, you're going to get shunned from everybody. And you're attracted to anybody. And if you're attracted to anybody else, oh my god. Oh yeah.  And so having that notion growing up is stifled me when it came to a lot of relationships. And I always wondered why I would be in relationships and still feel, I feel like I was in a, in a box. I was in a, it was in a box and I was screaming to get out, but I was so scared of the judgment from the partner at the time, from parents at the time, or even from friends. Like, bro, you tripping. Like, why would you be looking at him or why would you be, I'm just like, something ain't adding up here. So then when I did your test and I, and the answer came to a free relationship, I didn't really even know what that meant. And what a free relationship really means to me is that our relationship style is not what binds us together or what cements our agreement to try to stay together. So that means if I get with you under the pretense of even polyamory, I say, I'm polyamorous and you say, okay, cool. I am polyamorous as well. I'm dating somebody else. We're okay with that. If you come to me now and say, look, Shan, like, I actually don't want you seeing the other person. I think I'm monogamous. Because we came together under the agreement of polyamory, there is a chance I could say to you like, well, that's not exactly. So now we have to renegotiate whether or not we're going to be together or not. So for Jared and I, essentially a free relationship means that our relationship structure is going to change and will change multiple times. And if somebody wants it to be different than what it is today, that's not grounds to say, should we end the relationship? Yeah. And I think that's the most beautiful part about I said, for me, it's not that I need to be running around and making connections with everybody. It's just I'm a little bit more sexually open. And I was afraid to say that for so long. I was so afraid to say that because I'm just like, we're so afraid, especially black men, I believe we're so afraid to wind up as another statistic.  It's just like, all right, man, it's not that we, we just don't get told to just say what's on our mind. Because if we say what's on our mind, you're wrong. Stop saying that. Because I mean, I've said this on multiple, I think I said it on JD's podcast. I love doesn't just keep people together. It's not what you want. Just dilute how special this thing in here. No, no, no. Okay. I basically said this everywhere else. I didn't say I like exclusives wrong. Okay. So you better reword it. All right. Let me reword it. I've never said this before until this special podcast, which is one of my favorite podcasts I've been on, that it's hard to base a lifelong partnership with just love. Growth keeps people together. And I've gotten to a place where I just, I'm so free now that I'm understanding who I am as a man and what I like and what I don't like and my boundaries and it feels good. Yes. It really, it genuinely feels good because now when I date someone new or talk to someone new, I tell them out the gate. This is what I like. This is my type of style. So I think a big part about chasing peace is introducing yourself to people as you know yourself to being where a lot of people are like, one, maybe I'll be able to hide my true self in this relationship. So it won't come up or two, maybe I'll be different in this relationship. So I'm not going to bring it up in hopes that I'll be cured, meaning I won't cheat. I won't have one or not or I won't want to flirt anymore. So I'm not going to introduce myself as I am, which sets you up for confusion and catastrophe in the relationship when that person meets the real versions of you or other sides of you that they didn't know.  She may ask me, what am I, you know, why haven't you been in a relationship in a long time? That's usually because I haven't found the relationship style that fits the kind of relationship that I like, which is a little bit more free and a little bit more loose, meaning that I need to create a space where I can still flirt. I can still be myself. Does that mean I'm going to be out running around the city on you? No, but what it does mean is that I'm aware that I am attracted to the opposite sets a lot. I don't need to be emotionally attracted to them, but sexually I am. Well, I got to ask the million dollar question. Are you comfortable with your partner also engaging? No, very quickly. Let me say I haven't experienced it. Okay. And so in my mind, I feel like I wouldn't be because for me, and this is like, that's why I'm here to talk. I feel like a lot of women majority there are anomalies, there are people out there, but I feel like a lot of women are emotionally involved with men when next stuff comes.   So I'm just like, are you emotionally attached or is this just sexual? Sometimes in my mind, it's hard to believe for that for women. It's just sexual. Well, I would honestly say that you are step one in the evolutionary chart in moving in the right direction. Because I think a lot of penis carriers are interested in having openness, but would never consider their partner being open. As a result, they don't ever even admit that they would want that because they don't want a world where the other person can say, hey, this isn't fair. So they're like, I would rather just cheat, get caught, say sorry, and beg for forgiveness as I've done in my previous relationship. I'd be too sleepy to cheat. I can't. You got to be up late at night and do it. Well, I would rather wait till I get caught, rather than me telling you this is what I want. It's a natural question after you say, Hey, I want this to be open. Does that work both ways? And right now your answer is I'm not sure I'm not sure success. We could do that. I mean, like, I think it's it's moving in the right direction. Of course, the goal is to get to a place where you acknowledge the same desires that are in you and the same need to connect with other people that makes you feel like a better version of yourself as a result brings a better version of Rome to the relationship. That's what happens on the other side. The reason I asked you guys to come on is because you are one of the first couples that I met who identified as being in a consensually non monogamous. At the time, I think you had told me it was an open marriage. And I was like, yeah, right? Because now it's no longer this, what is that term? I think at the time that you had said it to me, it was still in the realm of what is that. But now there's so many people experimenting with it. So I look at what you have had and I've always referenced it back to say, you know, this this is not a new thing that just got invented in 2015, that there are people who have been successfully doing this and navigating it navigating it with children, navigating it through life, through business, etc. And you have always been role models for me in this way. So I thought as people who not only are successfully doing it, but for a living, success, you know, help other people understand what it could possibly look like, it'd be great to check back in with you guys. Yeah. Oh, I'm so glad that we're where you're consensually non monogamous, I don't know, role models or whatever. But yeah, thank you. Or is this your first, this style of relationship? For me, no, I started off. I've had different sorts of relationships that sort of led up to this. And in a previous marriage, we had sort of an open relationship and sort of not, but there was terrible communication involved around it on both of our parts. And that led me to the place, the good place that I was when I met Sunny, because I was able to have to be able to set boundaries and say, I want to have an open relationship. But that doesn't mean I don't want you to be, you know, my main person in the love of my life. You know, none of that was mutually exclusive. And we I think one of the big things with us is that going into it, Sunny was very new and I had to go to a place she was comfortable with, not a place I was comfortable with. For me, I had always felt that, you know, normative monogamy just felt unnatural. And then I realized, hey, there, there is consensual non monogamy. And I didn't realize this until I was, gosh, like in my 30s. And I told myself the next relationship I'm going to get into, I'm going to do what I always thought seemed more natural in my head, but I didn't know existed. I think what's so fascinating about what's been shared here is, and especially Sunny, what you said about your entry into consensual not consensual non monogamy, which I think many people relate to is that maybe you didn't have examples or you didn't see it in a movie or your parents weren't like this that you're like, this is for me. You just knew that what existed and what was being advertised as the norm wasn't for you, that there was something about monogamous culture that just didn't quite sit with you. And so a lot of people who are entering the realm of consensual non monogamy today are entering it from that vantage point of, I don't really know what I want, but I know what I don't want. And that's what's been shoved down my throat for a long time. So in the interview prior with Rome, Rome really approached it from that angle where he was like, I just realized I don't thrive in those settings. I don't like myself. I get resentful towards my partner. I feel better when my choices are left up to me. I feel better when I have control over this part of my life, but also his entry point was, yes, I've realized that this makes me feel good and that I want to pursue consensual non monogamy. However, I'm not ready to let my partner do the same. And that's a new term that I learned, which is called monopoly, which is for people who want to be consensual non monogamous or polyamorous, but they are the only person in the relationship who is permitted to do that. What are your thoughts on that? Yeah, I have mixed feelings on that. Again, it's all of, if it's about the intention and the ethics with the mutual consent of both partners, and it is done thoughtfully. And maybe it's done as a stepping stone like, okay, you know, maybe I'm not just ready to dive in and there's no jealousy and everything's easy. And we're going to use this as a stepping stone, but there needs to be that intention that A, we all agree to this and we're all cool with it and B, it is not going to devolve into something toxic and controlling. Also, we're not judging you like, I don't know Rome's particulars in any way, shape, or form. And like we're saying, most of the people that say this, and this is, and I am generalizing here because when there is some truth to anecdotes, but when you see the, you know, usually, usually it's a cis hetero dude that wants to have multiple partners, but no accountability to those partners in an emotional or an honest communication sort of way. It's a way for them to get out of that. I think where a lot of people mess up when they enter in different styles of relationships is they think that an open relationship or a polyamorous relationship is the key to fixing a infidelity problem. And it's not, it's not going to fix your honesty problem. It's not going to fix your communication problem. All it's going to do is expose more of your toxic behaviors. The thing about polyamory is it forces you to have those really vulnerable on the level conversations that you may tend to run away from when you're in a monogamous relationship because you have no reason to have them. We should all be having those conversations about our desires, our jealousy, you know, whatever it is. You know, there's a lot of people listening right now who I think that, you know, the one thing that they're all curious about is jealousy. Is there jealousy in this type of relationship and how, if there is, how do you navigate through it?

What? I'm not crazy! I've just been a quarantine for 21 days! Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review of Steel Magnolias. I swear I'm not crazy.  Oddly enough, this is a movie that's kind of about nothing, but at the same time it's just purely about these characters. And you have a fantastic cast because we got Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Julia Roberts at an incredibly young age, and the film just follows these ladies' lives. We see Dolly Parton running her own hair shop and taking on a new apprentice. We see the mother and daughter relationship between Julia Roberts and Sally Field and this love-hate relationship between the two of them. Sally Field is just an ever-carrying mother for Julia Roberts as she goes through her own struggles in the film. And then there's Weezah. Oh, Weezah.  I love Weezah. Weezah has some of the absolute best zingers from this film. She is absolutely hilarious. This film is actually based off of a play and the director of this film was apparently incredibly harsh on the ladies. He even said to Julia Roberts, hey, can't you act? It became very, very complicated throughout the film, which might explain why it has a little bit of this disjointedness throughout the film, but it doesn't really matter because, again, you're just so ingrained into these characters. Before watching this film a few months ago with my fiancé, there was a line in the trailer that I'll never forget. It goes something like, it's the only comedy that will make you cry. And it does. You cry a lot. I got very teary several times throughout this film. I did think I just got so much into this Southern drama and all this hearsay about all these ladies. Really, it is actually just a really funny and fun movie to watch. It has some humanity to it. It has some great characters. It has some fantastic dialogue. And for a film that, again, doesn't really have much to it. It has so much with it, with its characters and its emotional heart. And it actually is a fantastic pick-me-up movie to watch. If you guys are kind of really starting to lose it right now, I clearly have it still in the bag. But if you want something to really pick you up, I very, very much recommend Steelback Millie is. It's a movie that doesn't have really much significance to it, but, again, it's just a really good feel-good movie. I know that I'll watch this again and again over the years. Mainly just because of Weezo, that crabby old witch. What? I'm gonna give Steelback Millie is a five out of seven. Anyways, guys, I hope you enjoyed this review. If you did, leave a like. And if you're interested in more subscribe, make sure to wash your hands. Stay safe out there. Stay fabulous. See you guys soon.


What's up everybody I'm the Mangus, you were awesome and today we're looking at the first week of a planned 12 week competitive series organized by the Paragon the Over Prime Competitive League. Jellynees and I cast the game between royalty and noco and it was a pretty damn good match. Only this game sets a precedent for the quality of gameplay we can expect to see in the future. These games will be best of three and the ruleset is posted in their discord which I will post below. This was streamed live on Jellynees Twitch channel which I will also post along with his HelloFresh code since Jelly was sponsored by HelloFresh for this stream. Before we get into it I know that my volume is a little low compared to Jelly during the cast and I apologize for that but there's not a lot I can do about it. Like the game if you enjoy it go check out the competitive discord sub for more third person mobile content but for now let's get to the games. Also real quick the first draft that they did didn't go through one of the players wasn't able to pick so they're just redrafting the same heroes right now as they did before. They should yeah they're still on the same sides so that shouldn't be a problem so we should see another Faye and SteelBarn we've got Grux Revenant and Fangmau on Team Noko and Muriel Gadget on Team Royalty. I'm a little more excited to see that Gadget pick now that I've seen the Aurora pick. Oh and Aurora that's right yes I mean between those two you can set up people in yep her ultimate freezing them in place a lot of wombo combo potential right there absolutely man I have every instinct just to click a lane now just because I know I can't now does this give them a little bit of an advantage now that they know what's being picked you know what I mean now they kind of pick around it a little bit. I mean I don't think so because they're doing the same pick bands right but hopefully it'll work out but we should see a Faye ban here they don't ban the Faye now I'm gonna be so upset like why don't we even come out here tonight. There we go. Steel coming through.  There's the SteelBarn. I was very very surprised not to see Muriel first pick. 100% it's wild not to first pick Muriel in this case I think she's one of the better supports definitely in the late game she just absolutely can keep people alive. There's nothing worse than having a Muriel on the enemy team and just being like I can't kill anybody it won't let me like her ulti oh there we go for a second I was like sparrow support what I forgot they could trade all right we're good so it's shaping up to be a high damage team for Noco and a wild bo combo potential team for royalty here yeah I mean there's a like I said before there's a lot of individual play that can be done on team Noco side whereas team royalty really is going to have to coordinate as a team to perform really well yeah I like that Narbash pick Narbash brilliance basically the only real answer to Muriel in this case because he's able to keep his team up on health and keep them alive but Kalari in the jungle we have Aurora as the main tank for team royalty as well as Muriel kind of helping provide that ooh new Muriel skin let's go and then for team Noco we have many tanks but a lot of individual team day or individual player damage as well so it should be very interesting to watch these games play out and see how they go so the Kalari doesn't seem to fit into what it looks like they're trying to do with that team comp to me I actually agree with you may use I think that Kalari's gonna have a really hard time bursting people down on team Noco side aside from the revenant potentially and with her whole team coordinating on that team pick it's going to be really interesting to see and welcome to game one of the competitive league for Paragon the overprime got our new announcing board up there guys all right let's see teams look like they are just going to yeah look let's see if we see any cheeky invades a hot kind of doubt it usually the the higher rank you go the less you see these invades people just kind of come to uh like we saw the gentleman's agreement there at first so they were trying to you know stick to only one smite it's sort of a gentleman's agreement that you just don't invade each other's jungle anymore absolutely oh see the mid laner squared off in the mid lane now I kind of expected this as uh it has become less and less important but important as I say that it looks like they might be actually invading this red but it's become less important to leash for your jungler as a mid laner because you will lose minions because they move so fast now and they deal so much damage yeah absolutely so what's like they might be setting up trying they're looking for this steal he's going for it he's going for the steal the early game steal the the knife from kalari lands though and how it's just pinging off of the gadget they're going to square off here he's with a mind on his head takes that mind damage callots are leaping in and there's not much of a rotation here because the solo laner's going in he does manage to get it they will take out romking on the level one invade into the jungle sparrow has to flash revenant and how it's are both blinking as well sparrow is going to be very low and go down there's two kills for team noco three kills for team noco absolutely incredible invade incredible invade from team noco there you don't have to see an invade go that well that's funny how i was talking about oh they're going to respect each other big invaded to the red a great dodge grab dodge by aurora very nice ice clone from her yeah absolutely we see actually back in the red side jungle for team royalty that the feng mao was getting engaged on but had to get out of there so far three kills for team noco just an absolutely incredible lead to be building up and claire just had to go back on to her blues it's her red is on over there oh actually we're going to see something interesting happening on the blue side of the jungle here kalari going over to the solo lane trying to help out her aurora but feng mao is in his red side jungle there's a potential that he can catch up there let's see she does not land the nice dash in and he blinks out but will survive nevertheless feng mao now coming in from the the red side jungle for team noco trying to get engaged on let's see if they can make something happen here the root does go out and yep there's another flash out this kalari is very good at landing these daggers but um yeah that that jungler bane's going to put her behind she's um i mean she went into that level two into level three you know what i mean absolutely if yeah if she had the levels up and maybe even her red buff then that would have been a very different story but unfortunately that wasn't the case but it looks like the dual lane is backing for team noco trying to keep their lead pressed up and feng mao backing his jungle farming out watch hit tab for me let's see what their starter items are yep we see a bunch of green gems that's what i was expecting to see green gem is just so effective that 50 health shield that comes back up when you're out of combat is just incredible it's very helpful if you're um i'm coming from a mid laner's perspective like a wraith or a gadget that's very annoying with her uh with her poke uh it's very nice to have that green gem to soak up a little bit of that damage now uh gadget's very low on mana and haliser um she has lane priority but haliser has full mana and he's going to rush in and it looks like they're going to get another kill on myriel nice tower dive coming from easy from my expect on uh narbash yeah and that was actually a double they did pick up the sparrow and the myriel there which is going to give this revenant two kills and three assists going into four minutes and 30 seconds for team noco team noco just absolutely starting this game out on a great foot but there's still two more games after this potentially guys best of three so just because they're starting out with an early lead this game does not mean it's just in their hands and they can adjust and come back later if uh adjust to the tactics that are being brought in by uh noco and like i said earlier noco is the winner of several fault tournaments and the and the skills do translate nice mine from how should be a good hill bam no it is not we see that the dual lane is coming in though to this mid lane on kalari can kalari get make it out of there going into sprint mode going to go in viz hopefully we'll make it out of there this is a very dangerous move for her to be making narbash taking a lot of damage and we'll indeed go down we're going to go onto the gadget now three people in the mid lane fengbao revenant and narbash gadget already half health yeah kalari reengaging there was a weird choice for sure yeah daddy bash was having none of that he was like oh you want to go back in here's a drumstick to the face absolutely incredible uh yeah you got to be aware that that revenant is so far ahead right now he's going to be doing so much damage yeah and i mean narbash thunk to back him up oh between two kills and four assists revenant is absolutely doing really well has already picked up the giant stagger and a plasma cutter while sparrow on the other hand is just getting her wind element collector so she's got attack speed and he's just got full scale damage let's check out this dual lane see what's going on over here level four to level four so the levels are relatively even what we've got fengbao and narbash coming in from the jungle side they're getting spotted on the wards but can they still make something happen and that's something that i've definitely seen coming to effect in the game is the changes they decrease the amount of xp you gain from kills and assists so even you can be way ahead and kills and still be you know same level as your opponent which is really weird it's really odd to me of course you will have far more gold and an item advantage on them but it's it's just uh it's a weird thing to me and they're invading this jungle once again merciless noco is just being merciless muriel just stepping up a little too far and gets locked down by all three members of team noco and we'll go down again giving revenant another kill to under his belt full of glittery kalari's gonna get stunned narbash just running her off the map they just want this red buff kalari they don't want her to farm if you can keep a kalari behind you keep her out of the game so making sure she can't get any camp she's not getting any kills is going to be very very beneficial sparrow stepping up a potentially a little bit too far here narbash does have a great thunk opportunity and does he take it he misses the thunk unfortunately but sparrow still takes about half health in damage that full obliterate does so much damage if you position well that's the key is you got to position well for it aurora seems to be doing quite well in this off lane against grux aurora just very slippery you can't really lock her down too too much but uh she's not going to do a whole hell of damage i wouldn't think great ultimate coming from him let's see if he's going to tower dive this he will not aurora is going to be able to i was just talking her up but here comes kalari he's coming in let's see if they can make something happen here kalari gonna make sure five into a level seven grux grux is going to have oh kalari did hit level six from those minions though we'll be able to pick up the grux kill fantastic play from that kalari perfect timing on that level six too i do like that this kalari is sticking in it and not backing down like uh she had no pussy she's she's staying in there like even that narbash she was going back and reengaging a little bit yeah absolutely um we definitely have a brave kalari here just she's a little bit behind on the farm so we'll have to see in this next game um i mean we we don't know you're gonna win this one but uh i i definitely think that we'll see a little more reaction to an invade i don't know if they'll even invade next time but if they do i think uh i think real if he's going to be prepared for it narbash way out in front but uh he does have that healing aurora ice walling into the uh gadget ultimate and kalari picks up a kill and there comes the ultimate this team they they're team fight okay okay royalty perking up here they did exactly what we thought they would do with that ice wall in the gadget ultimate and then the uh the aurora ultimate while the gadget ultimate was still going they're they're fighting over this uh this prime let's see if they can get it kalari maybe picking up another kill here nope she's getting knocked this kalari is very brave i love it i love it absolutely i mean this is a 3v5 on this pit but narbash and how it's are have respawn meaning that they're coming into this fight very fresh but they're getting picked off peng mal is able to go in and pick up two kills may go down here for it but let's see if he's able to make something happen looks like we will see prime underling go down here go to no go and perfect job of the revenant is chasing them off and prime underling now down and given to team no go that was an excellent team fight um royalty kind of they they they they pulled their strategy off the strategy that we figured that they would be trying but um it was just the the respawn timers are a little too short this early into the match and no goes able to get back in there and secure that with uh they i mean they have it like like we were talking a lot of individual fight capability and that thing now is able to pick up two kills just very easily yep absolutely and that's the thing that's the team royalty really needs to be aware of is if fights go that way and you kill two team members but you're low it's going to be better to just to reset at that point you need those health bars especially early game when these team members come back up from team no go they're going to come back with a vengeance and more items see if you can make something happen here lanes the dagger lanes the jump in nice knock away mine from house or he does get a gadget mine on top of his head and rooted from it now we can't see the you can you can see the flashing portraits up there that indicates that they do have their ultimate available so it looks like pretty much everybody has their ultimate available right now except for your real we see that the aurora has already picked up her uh jimmy's toy items starting items this treat set a set trika mask which does the damage around her in an area which is a brilliant first item on aurora lets her deal a lot of damage and get out of there but we're going to see on the other side of the map a prime spirit being taken it will be earth spirit now with the most recent patch this means that this will be earth spirit the entire game so every time you get a spirit you're going to gain five percent armor and magical resist permanently and it's just going to be a very very good thing but we're going to see revenant it picked off by calari calari doing a great job of taking out those targets and they use the uh the prime annoying to secure the uh the guardian which is a brilliant play his ultimate unfortunate for him is he going to pay for it he is going to get out oh he is not going to get out he i think he got killed by a gadget gate you don't see that very often no not at all but that's a double kill picks up the kill remembers down for team noco they didn't actually they did not secure with prime spirit with the mini prime unfortunately they actually did still lose that to team royalty so royalty picks up three kills and a prime spirit there like i was saying before that gives them five percent armor and magical resist permanently for the rest of the game so this is going to make them a lot tankier a lot faster that would have been great for noco with the team comp that they have that 100 making that grucks and that thing now a little more tankier would have been excellent for them and they end up even though noco dropped the prime underling it's royalty that picks up a tower yeah and that prime underling only got about half health down on that left lane tower or the dual lane tower so it didn't really net them anything they didn't secure the objective they didn't get a tower with it they didn't get any kills they actually lost a lot more than they gained by getting that by dropping that prime underling so uh the chat's being coming about prime spirit so prime spirit does give a temporary buff temporary buff it goes on to your minions and on to enemy towers that are debuff onto enemy towers minions are stronger and they take less damage and enemy towers are weaker and deal less damage so that's just the temporary effect and then there is a permanent stacking effect if we hit the tab button you can see here that you can get the permanent stacks just up at the top of your tab menu that tell you exactly what it's doing for that team a lot of people don't realize that because the message does say temporary effect who sparrow in a lot of trouble is she gonna get ulted she did get blinked out of there yeah it was a good call from her the muriel just now hitting six thing now was looking to come in and take advantage of that noco just forcing their way through that tower they're gonna have to back up now though looks like though they're gonna be able to take this tower down we can shift over to collard's view looks like she's making a move on the grucks grucks is able to get through the portal though they did take that dual lane tower so now we have four in the right lane this should open up a good opportunity though for collari and aurora to push this solo lane out and try maybe get this tower looks like collari's just gonna go invade instead very dangerous considering that the members have already backed and how it's going in they know full well that collari's in there this could turn very bad for her very quickly let's hope she can uh inbiz and run away whoa that uh smash and grab and she will take the portal oh narmash cuts off the portal from her narmash with the play oh my god in the stun and collari's she's doing everything she came to deal as much damage as she came before she goes down but that was a poor gone conclusion as soon as she run into that big fat narmash coming the other way through the portal that what a play right there absolutely incredible teamwork from team noco there making sure to block off her only escape route and then be able to pick up the kill then thereafter absolutely incredible again though i do like how the collari's stuck in there and fought it out it looks like aurora is going to try and use her ultimate to lock them down keep them inside this tower but this tower it looks like it may be going down and it does go down indeed i don't think they're gonna pick up the kill in the aurora though unless she sticks around too long she is very slippery yep absolutely that is two towers for team noco and one tower for team royalty oh looks like aurora is going to try and stop some backs here yeah we got the full five members of team royalty out on the right side of the map though looks like collari's going on to that prime underling well i have to see how this benefits them if they're able to pick it up or if we're going to see team noco come in and he did smite steal it feng mao able to steal away the prime underling and take it away from team royalty that it will be the second one oh nice ultimate from ping mao this this collari nuts this collari is really good she just in a bad situation just behind from the beginning i think if this collari was just a little bit more ahead she'd be doing a lot more work but still a very good team fight here absolutely we're going to see potential this howitzer go down to team royalty easy ad trying to go in there and make something happen but this is a very interesting team fight there are a lot of dangers here a revenant able to go into his ultimate and pick up a kill on the muriel but we'll they will lose both nabash and grucks now it is just revenant on his own 1v3 but uh aurora blocks her team off oh no you hate to see it you hate to see it and we're going to see portal available the portal is available and he's going to slip out of there no problem perfect he did wait to see if the team was going to come for him and they did but uh incredible again play from team royalty here they pick up three kills they did lose the prime underling but if team noko uses it anything like last time that won't make too much of a difference hopefully we can seem capitalized on it a little bit more maybe uh for for the whole team in there the prime spirit has spawned we got us another earth spirit of course looks like we're going to see these teams group around that prime spirit feng mao coming up this is the second prime spirit which would mean if that team royalty picks it up they will get a 10% armor and magical resist increase throughout the rest of the game which is i mean that scales really really well and ward is going down all over the place this gloria has no chance of not being seen but revenue gets almost picks up the revenant but not quite calari will take a lot of damage go down to the feng mao feng mao is trying to get out of their revenant also trying to get out but we'll take a gadget mind to the face and go down sparrow now behind enemy lines getting caught up by feng mao and narbash feng mao misses the ultimate sparrow now landing her is trying to get a lot of movement speed to get out of their gadget coming through perfectly comes out rucks picks up a muriel kill sparrow will go down can grucks make something happen this mid lane tower for team royalty is still up rora beautiful ice wall able to get her team out of there but it is still a two before going into this prime spirit so they will have to defend i'm really surprised at how long that sparrow stayed alive in that fight yeah absolutely the interesting thing here is we're going to see gadget without an ultimate able to do anything in this fight no ultimate no mana not going to be able to do a lot here we're going to have to see if anything can happen feng mao coming around the whole teams grouping back up calari stops the feng mao oh does a lot of damage to him very good job there prime spirit is down to about half health can something happen oh they risked it again they missed the drop kill but got the smite off on it that is one to one on that prime spirit calari trying her best 2000 damage to that thing so that's when you want to do it up it looks like remnant put somebody in the heck realm that was calari and claire is going to have more damage to get away just barely uh once again though that mini prime it didn't execute the prime spirit they actually had to use their smite for that and it didn't get a tower the main thing that mini prime is being used for is just to secure that prime spirit and they've now used two of them and have not got a single objective from and that's all they're going to get to because it's going to be turning into the major prime here just uh 45 seconds see if calari can get a little more ahead here all right looks like we're setting up around that major prime here they know it's coming up very very soon so they want to be sure that they can do it but we're going to see a battle taking off and the water is very low brevity dealing a lot of damage or she does slide on out at a nice angle to block him off but who looks like she's going down so much damage coming out of that revenue absolutely that is now four members on the left on the solo lane for team noco calari and muriel running through the jungle and unsure of what to do here they might get picked off as the team is chasing them down let's see if anyone can stop this muriel gadget also hanging around in that mid lane but now they can get caught up by the howitzer as well they still do have their mid lane tower up so they can run to safety here a little bit here but that's five members for team noco in the mid lane no that might be a bit of a missed opportunity for noco they may have been able to take prime off of that but instead they kind of pursued people through the jungle they did of course only have aurora down in that situation sparrow actually just takes the portal across from dueling to solo lane seeing the whole team rotate over towards her i'm just going to have to clear these minions nabash now warding out the prime spear or prime guardian so we're going to be very curious to see if some play begins around the prime guardian here noco though doing a fantastic job of keeping these lanes pushed we saw the revenant just pushed out the duo lane the solo lane got pushed out by all five members and we're now seeing them push out the mid lane a little bit that way they have the lane advantage going into a bigger objective fight like prime guardian great question we've got two smites on the side of team royalty and two smites on the side of team noco it's just a bit of a war war right now and uh see i think they should change that i don't think you should be able to put a ward up the prime's ass like that so that you have to hit him in order to de-ward it i think that should uh that's something that uh predecessor does that i enjoy um don't i don't enjoy everything about predecessor but that's one thing i definitely agree with is that you can't just place like that calari coming in from behind is she going to get a kill she does not she gets popped back by how it's her mind oh and we'll go down here and burn oh brilliant gadget although dropping it on four members of team noco and sparrow came in spraying with her ultimate but narmash already healing the backup is if that ultimate never happened how it's her very very low coming back into this fight for one reason sparrow coming around the backside does pick up the kill muriel's ulting the sparrow now sparrow into the revenant'll revenant going to kill sparrow muriel now caught up from her team wouldn't take a lot of damage from this feng mao feng mao picks up the kill aurora trying to block off the team now that is four members to two on these teams let's see if they're gonna pick up another kill on aurora they do that is four to one calari now respawning but we're probably gonna see this yeah prime absolutely gets started here gadget backing off with no mana it is going to be calari versus all of team noco minus how it's her and narmash also has no mana um so he's not gonna be able to heal them up to this this might be an opportunity for calari to clean up who calari is going in can she make something happen here who which team got a team noco does pick it up and pick up the calari right there after the good try from calari good try gotta respect it yeah i mean for her team that was the best thing she could do right there they did not really get anything for it they damaged the inhibitors they damaged that mid lane tower mid lane tower still standing though so the in terms of where the game goes from here there's still a lot of opportunity for both of these teams even with that prime being taken now we've got gadget now it's in the mid lane we're the part of the game where it's uh you can't just push too far forward because any pick is gonna matter absolutely any pick turns into an objective take whether that be prime spirit or prime guardian so you really have to be careful here we've got three members of team noco coming in on muriel and sparrow sparrow and muriel have no tower so they cannot get caught out here narbash throws a thunk does not connect with it muriel now trying to run through the jungle but gets picked up by feng mao feng mao we'll pick up that girl no way gadget now in the mid lane trying to poke people off but this prime spirit is going to spawn any moment here gadget really needs to get out of here root onto the grucks and gadgets backing up to her tower looks like we will see everybody heading on to that prime spirit though she's making extremely effective use of her gates that's a damage or a or a disruption tool absolutely we're going to see gadget now coming in here see if she can make something happen a great ultimate who's going to get it it will be team noco picking up that third prime spirit so that's two for them and one for royalty and uh like we said i think it's good i think that that earth spirit benefits noco a bit more than it would benefit royalty so it'd be nice for royalty to steal those away but um i mean gadget absolutely tried her best in that dropping the ultimate right on top of it brilliant idea from her let's see what's going to happen between these two teams here sparrow ulting in already narbash ulting in as well narbash landing a brilliant do not man knock up but kalari going into the back line getting on to this revenant revenant will go down kalari trying to get out of there we're going to see narbash running at the kalari kalari goes down now fengmout and narbash trying to work on this aurora while miriel and gadget are trying to get out aurora will go down unfortunately nothing to do there for her but in the mid lane we see how is they're making a brilliant time taking this time to push down this mid tower and that's a brilliant play from them able to fight on two fronts and gain a lot of advantage in this game see the towers crying purple tears it's because it's uh it's a little weaker than normal so it'll be a little easier for how sort of pick up that uh that tower and they're pushing right under the in hip they took that in hip no problem looks like we're going to take mid in hip too if they clear out the minions but royalty is respawned and are respawning responding oh very low on that second mid in hip let's see are they going to be able to take it it looks like easy and will go down yeah maybe a little bit of miscommunication will no cause parties yet stayed in there just a little bit longer than his team but uh that will allow them to escape but it looks like they're being chased down team royalty does not want to give an inch how it's they're getting picked off when you take a lot of damage have to ult in order to stay out of it but sparrow able to right click him down brilliant play from the sparrow over there let's see feng mao getting caught out now feng mao is going to help assist in the kill of calari brilliant turn of events for everybody sparrow now going to get caught out can she make it something happen here her ult going out there trying to deal damage to feng mao feng mao will try and ultimate but will not connect with the sparrow feng mao absolutely trying aurora aurora stuck on the wall looks like putting up a wall to try and block it off but it's not quite working in her favor let's see if revenant can pick up another kill here brilliant ult from the revenant able to root into there and take her out oh did she explode into the little icicles there what did you see that i did well revenant trying to get out of there healing coming out from the nara bash again this mid inhibitor is basically a sneeze away they just need to get some minions under there there it is mid inhibitor going down easy yet back on grex where he just died trying to show that he can provide his team some support he did it up he like you know what fuck this tower this inhibitor i'm taking it all right oh in the jungle we've got myriel and gadget trying to do make something happen oh can we see something at root going out onto the revenant revenant having to blink out can calari catch back up mine's coming out from how is her to try and defend calari in viz trying to get around we'll get the root off on that revenant but can't revenant stay alive he will not calari or gadget picks up the kill on to revenant halter ultimate what's his cooldown reduction like man this this calari is uh one brave little toaster i'll tell you what and she is laning these daggers like mad absolutely like like like like she's great stuff just full w keying in we've got the full five-man team royalty in the mid lane here but if we look over in the solo lane grucks absolutely pushing into this left inhibitor aurora trying to come there and combat him a little bit will she get there in enough time half the inhibitor will go down but grucks will leave knowing the entire enemy team is on the way calari brave little toaster making her way into get this grucks but grucks is going to get caught out lots of damage coming out ultimate everything going out team will pick up the grucks but now we got fake mouth showing up fake mouth just does get rooted and uh stunned into place calari able to make an escape with her q fengmao won't be able to oh fengmao picks up the calari by a brilliant reaping dash but fengmao will go down here it looks like oh no maybe not he's got a lot of shielding still can he make it he will not aurora picks up the kill on fengmao howitzer now being caught out with revenant nabash coming in howitzer will go down but howitzer picks up the muriel in the meantime revenant trying to get in this fight fade away rocket there pick up that kill as he's going down that's the way you do it if you're going to die do as much as you can before you die don't just stay in there absolutely incredible gameplay from both of these teams so far we do have two inhibitors down on team royalty but that doesn't mean that they've given up by any stretch they're still fighting for this game just as much as they were at the very beginning how many smites now i think still still just two per team yep we're looking at one for the solo lane one for the duo or for jungle one for the jungle one for the solo lane that seems to be the um the way the game's played anymore i know some people will go with three smites but uh for the most part you see two smites uh they did say not the not this patch but probably next patch there will be some smite changes so i don't know how they're going to do that maybe they'll get picked up on a ward they're de-warding now team noco's trying to keep some guard on to this prime or prime guardian let's see oh damage going out from both teams team noco just trying to keep control on the team royalty side of the map make sure they can't step up they can't start the guardian because if we look at their base they actually are taking core damage now from minions pushing in from both mid and the duo lanes so team noco just needs to keep them busy 65 on that core lots of minions underneath it they will pick up a kill on that feng mao sparrow is going to go down though sparrow ooh they're barely surviving blinking out can't she make it no she doesn't she got caught by the howlizer lots of kills going out revenant going to be very low coming into this fight nobody has backed yet though for their base their base is still being destroyed they took an in uh yep they retook the duo lane inhibitor brux not being able to land that pull but they will four man run on to that prime guardian and this is gonna probably take it down to 1% yeah absolutely the core can the the prime guardian can no longer kill the core with one shot but it can bring it to 1% which means anybody can walk up and smack at once and it'll die and there's no contest on this prime so you're absolutely right man because this will drop it down there it is to 1% it will also take the solo lane inhibitor which means now all three inhibitors are down and now all team noco needs to do is run in there hit the core once with any character and they will win this game it looks like they're all backing to set up for that is this going to be this the the kamikaze run into the core because i've seen that backfire i've seen that backfire and and teams lose because of it absolutely the good thing for team noco is they do actually still have their solo and duo lane towers so they if they had to push and end the game team royalty has to do it through the mid lane they don't have anywhere else but with all three lanes pushing into them it's going to be very difficult we're now seeing the prime spirit go down very very quickly that's a little cheeky to take the spirit on the way get that 15% secret been activated to give them that uh move of speed but that 15% armor and magic resist increase now from that prime spirits that they've received wow i just absolutely blowing up that aurora the tank on team royalty side oh but sparrow doing a lot of damage taking out two members three members can they do a fourth royalty doing a great job four members down fang mal triple kill okay i gotta go he's like i gotta oh no he got rooted and he got a gadget mind oh my god they defended they successfully defended with the core at 1% and their and their inhibitors are starting to come back up do they just push mid now i mean it's um we got some long cooldowns on noco's side can they push straight through this mid and win this game right now it's a possibility but no no they have minions on their core oh no no 0.25 man goose oh my gosh you're absolutely right they're trying to back oh my goodness shitter get up the pot boys sparrow ended up backing to save their base oh my gosh 0.25 percent on that core and it goes down winions take the game amazing defense from team royalty but unfortunately they did not push all three lanes out to try and stay in this game and the minions did end it uh man i think i yeah i mean somebody had to go back i i wanted to see them push through that mid lane and then win it that would have been an amazing game but yeah that too many minions you got those super minions rolling up nothing they could have done about that yeah absolutely man goose let's take a look at these graphs to see where our damage is coming from wow these graphs are insane 53,000 coming from the gadget 34,000 from kalari 36,000 from revenant on team noco's side the damage was definitely in favor of team royalty and we saw that coming through on those five v five team fights but with the individual power that team noco had and the early lead that they gained with both the prime underlings and that early invasion they were able to just keep that and move it forward gamed into a win that was a really great game i did not expect that that uh that last stand like i was talking about how cool it would be but i didn't expect it to actually happen that was really good absolutely man goose looks like we're taking a quick bio break from these teams and we'll get the next game started cat how are we feeling about after game one we think this is going to be an interesting set of three do we think team noco's just going to absolutely pull out two wins off the front what are we thinking here kind of interested to see what the um what the bands are going to be this time is it going to be the same things going to be face deal or is it going to be yeah i i completely agree man goose actually i think it's going to be very interesting to see um i think it'd be very interesting to see if we see a muriel band come through here while team royalty did not win with that muriel muriel definitely kept there a lot of their teammates alive for a very long time in those team fights and was absolutely making a difference in there in those team fights so i'm curious to see if we'll see a first pick of muriel on team noco side if they have first pick again or if we're going to see a band straight up no i was really impressed by the gadget i was really impressed by the um by the calari there was there was a lot of impressive play in this but uh yeah noco kind of they they dominated early they got that early lead with that invade and then they just kind of kept pressing their advantage whenever they had it that's such a tough frontline i mean grucks and thing now and nabash that's rough to try and chew through especially as a calari yep absolutely and that's what we said man because despite that calari is still performing very very well in that team comp that is definitely against everything calari wants to do uh yeah she was just having a rough time when she got picked off when she got stunned it was just going to be a very difficult time for her to do anything else i think my favorite play of that entire match was when nabash came through the portal to cut off calari's escape that was so good incredible incredible team play from team noco there like we said at the time right the communication with your team saying take the short portal because you're going to cut off calari that's where she's trying to go and then they pick up the kill afterwards even still an incredible incredible play it's like we're just waiting on one more player to get back and we'll start off the second game of this set go back and look at that and watch nabash's pathing as uh as they went through that and you know i want to see him start you know britton at that portal to try and make it in i can't wait till they have a replay feature in these games so we can get a better view and better replays of stuff like that absolutely a replay system would be absolutely incredible perfect for these kind of tournaments and these kind of leagues because then you're able to do exactly that see where nabash came from see how some of these plays played out see the minions and the uh team pushing there at the end and see who's gonna win which one which one's going to be able to make a play first just absolutely incredible looks like we're starting the game all right well it looks like it's time for the spectator desk to pick a roll all right everybody in chat pick what role the spectator desk is picking today are we going to solo lane the jungle the mid lane support or duo lane we'll lock it in right here and you'll be all here along for the ride the lane select doesn't really matter in this type of play but uh clearly we're going overseer you know what you're absolutely right the overseer class is definitely the one we're going right here oh no i'd forgotten about overseer so to be perfectly honest oh it is a steel trap he doesn't forget anything all right let's see what this first ban is going to be 14 no go this time around we're going to see the miriel ban and we're going to see the fey come through one more time it'll be very interesting one way or the other it's interesting they're all they're on the same side out there it is which sides uh the muriel ban absolutely i think that's probably the best ban you could have here and if i was on team royalty side i would probably be banning steel either way a fey pick very strong crux ban whoa are we going to see a steel first pick i don't know the fey is coming through for team no go um we should see a steel make through on team uh royalty for sure here you would think so but we'll see a gadget first pick once again okay i mean gadget did do the most damage in the last game she did the most damage in the last game by almost two times everybody else so i will give it to them they can play gadget all day long and some of those gate plays were amazing like there was a gate kill in there yeah you'll see people get killed with a gadget gate to marielton let's see what's happening where will this pick be going let go on the murdoch so no prioritization of steel on there so we can see a steel come through for team no go as well as uh rampage coming through we get rampages up steels up yeah some really big tanks coming out of team no go here there it is steel pick right off the top i think letting that one go through was like letting muriel go through the last game for team no go team the nabash pick early on that again with muriel off the table nabash is probably the next best support in the line so they get the steel pick up for that really really strong tank and engage and then they pick up the nabash for that duo lane i'm surprised that they let the fey through it did not get punished for it at all they didn't getting her that's crazy uh i mean the fey is i mean she's still strong even with the uh the redistribution of damage that they did the mages but they're scaling and their early game damage the fey is still just stupid strong and uh she she gets to that mid game to where she's even stronger now yep really quick we see that revenue picked up and fang mal once again a little earlier i mean they didn't really need to have any priority on that 80 carry pick because they saw the murdoch already come through so murdoch being the carry for team royalty means that they can kind of wait and pick uh revenant last and then pick whatever their more important picks like steel and nabash ahead of time i thought for sure we were gonna see a rampage jungle come through here but instead it's going to be rampage solo lane and kalari jungle again on romking i mean even laying it down with kalari um doing doing some amazing stuff landing all those daggers so i guess rampage is gonna be solo lane yeah yeah i really love the fey's new model too i think that looks really good yeah absolutely agree all right back in here with team noco and team royalty team noco takes the first win of this series i have to see where these teams go in the second game will we see another early invade that leads into a very early lead for team noco or will we see a little bit more safer play come out of everybody else i'm not interested to see what this kalari could do if she does have an opportunity to actually farm at the beginning of the game and get a red buff we already see the full five man waiting making sure that if something happens again they're there to take control and the rampage stun has been nerfed from two seconds to 1.5 seconds but it is still an extremely long stun and it looks like uh looks like noco might be heading over to the blue buff trying to keep some eyes out decker also dropping awards so then how the wards are watching each other we're going to see if something happens here but it looks like they everyone may just go to their normal lanes they don't want to risk it this time they got the cheeky invade last game and they don't want to risk it now they're just going to play the straight up normal team fights throughout the beginning of this early game with normal laning throughout the beginning of this early game we say that and watch it all sudden there's this just nabash picks up the speed boost first and they just be lighted into this red buff no it's uh kalari's going to get a red buff no problem this time early on we saw this duo lane take a very early lead now they did have a lot of early kills but they were still just applying pressure way more than we were seeing at a team royalty in the duo lane rom king being a kalari in that red side jungle for royalty would be something very careful to watch sprint mode getting knocked out roots coming through and the very quick heal coming out from the nabash and the solo lane though we've got the steel and rampage duking it out now this is going to be a rather boring lane i think man goose there's going to be two tanks slap fighting each other the whole time i'm gonna have to wait and see what happens but feng mao able to go in that to that blue side jungle he is sitting on a ward but doesn't know it so they know he's there but will be able to take away that blue buff from kalari i think he does know that he's sitting on a ward he just doesn't care now we know that uh no co is not going to lose this lane you don't lose lane with nabash he just keeps that adc so healthy throughout this entire phase but um maybe if uh decker came land a really good stun out of nowhere they can capitalize on that with the uh q damage from from murdoch because the q damage from murdoch is and they are doing a lot of damage to uh to revenant but revenant's q disperses amongst the minions whereas murdochs is just always a lock one yep absolutely and kalari did actually counter steal that blue buff away from feng mao feng mao's been farming her jungle though so she will be a little bit fewer minions have a little bit fewer minions when she goes into that blue side jungle compared to when feng mao goes back back in the dual lane world though we're seeing lots of two stuns coming out from both of the supports lots of damage going out on to switch tv on the murdoch can switch make it out of there lots of damage going out oh very very low but you will get absolutely brilliant play in the mid lane we see this a little bit of a skirmish here between the fey and gadget doing well but back in the dual lane kalari coming in for a great root on the nabash nabash taking less more and more damage but we'll probably be able to make it out of there root going out onto the nabash nabash goes down to murdoch brilliant play from team royalties being so brave so brave oh nabat or murdoch very low though had to blink out to survive he was almost dead to the minions right there this wrong team going to back or is he actually going to no yeah he's just going to go in back now back in the off lane again we're seeing the boring lane come through here this is the lane that you're playing for the end game you've got big stuns on both sides big engages on both sides it's just very important to just farm up stay alive let this lane play out the way it's going to play out now this this gadget must be just a gadget expert because the fey is just so good mid lane but the gadgets actually holding her own right yeah absolutely I mean let's look at these minions 42 minions to 34 she's actually bullying the fey off of her minions and able to take on more of them this might be the case for um isle just isn't practiced on the fey because the fey is banned out so much and competitive but uh I think we'll see once the team fight start up uh the the fey will be extremely effective with that uh big aoe pull that she has good root from the kalari half health damage going out already brilliant the good way to fey just got back into the lane and already has to leave but if we look in the dual lane dual lanes engaging again decker doing a great job body blocking we're gonna have to see if something comes out of this kalari coming in from the bot prime spirit will they be able to make it out of here kalari can land a root on the revenant revenant lands a root on kalari through that stun coming from nabash on kalari damage and nabash is healing up all everything that's been done now we got bangmau coming through ooh gets charged but revenant will take you up the kill decker trying to get out of there can revenant pick up a second one revenant does that's a double kill for revenant tanks going in trying to triple kill triple kill for revenant gadget though coming through from the mid lane can gadget make something happen here revenant very low has to blink out mind lanes on revenant will go down there he goes no mana coming through oh wow and will he go down he survives and fey picks up a kill on gadget so that was a 4-4-1 mangoes brilliant play from team noco keeping their advantage alive back in the off lane we see them both starting out with that satirica setrica mask on both the rampage and the steel just basically going to be mirror matched throughout the whole game it feels like i mean the fey got bullied out pretty uh quite a bit but she finally got her revenge on that gadget so let's see if she can get back to this game now absolutely kalari coming in in viz let's see can kalari make something happen she is level six so she can land a beautiful ultimate here she lands the root ultimate coming out this will be a kill mine on her head did fey and kalari actually gave that a way to gadget she could have basics one more time to take that fey and she hesitated what a weird thing to see in a kalari yeah i would never see that from you never would jelly these back off and let somebody else get the kill heck no i don't trust my team to carry i trust myself okay we got steel and rampage and kalari kalari very low manna can't really do a hell of a lot but it doesn't require your beautiful ultimate coming through from the steel yeah you're right kalari very low man steel very low lots of damage gadget also making it in there and gadget we'll get the kill on steel but fangmao picks up the kalari make it the difference can fangmao get out of this oh picks up a double kill execute the execute he negates the mind from gadget mind almost catches another rescue can he make it out of here very low and fey came into support and fey is going to drive this gadget back and fangmao gonna make it away with a sliver of health yeah absolutely really nice fangmao play he timed those shields just perfect yeah i mean he was able to completely negate the damage out from that gadget uh mine and brilliant play because he would have died to it if he didn't proceed this pressure be applied on the prime underling once again will team noco pick it up rom king is already starting it but team noco is watching from the steel rampage coming over to support rom king it doesn't look like we're gonna see a lot of rotation over fangmao actually going to take the short portal across into the prime underling pit there he is half health on the prime underling 2v2 in the jungle right here can this turn into a fight fey coming in now brilliant brilliant play from the fey lots of low health targets here nice shield from steel that's a lorry trying to get out of there but lorry won't pick it up it looks like we will see this go over to team noco yeah absolutely a great ultimate coming out from the nabash nabash getting knocked around though needs to get out of there team coming into support gadget mind on top of nabash's head he does back up so his team doesn't take any damage won't land through hand revenant pick something up here cool perfect lands the ultimate will pick up the kill gadget takes out the nabash revenant takes out the murdoch fey picks up a kill on actually the enemy kalari in their jungle managed to pick that up but the fight's not over rampage still going or revenant still going in rampage showing up with a rock perfect obliterate landing on that gadget can we see that killed fangmao picks up a kill on gadget great ultimate from that steel it doesn't maybe we pick up another kill here let's see fangmao able to go through that portal and bam pick up another kill this fangmao pick i had no faith in but he is showing it's paying its dividends for team noco he did take a snipe up the butt there but uh wasn't enough to kill him we're still fighting they're re-engaging looks like everybody's decided that we're good nobody has to worry anymore yeah the objective's gone everybody chill out we're not going to do what everybody thinks we're going to do no towers down 10 minutes into the game we do see that mini prime buff on easy ed on steel so we'll have to watch him where he's going to drop it looks like they're probably going to go to a prime spirit to secure that prime spirit hopefully they learned from last game this on the prime spirit but they weren't very good at actually securing it with the mini prime yeah that's what it's going to say is hopefully they've learned from the last game and they can actually take it when it gets under 2k health then use the mini prime to make sure it executes i think they're trying to time it so that it lands exactly when it has 2k health and i think that's what's not working out for them and you don't really need to there it is boom they learned congratulations um you don't really need to time it no smite's doing 1,800 damage you can wait till after 2k that's that's what i was trying to get at there uh we'll they are going to push in with it so they will actually get a tower off of it this time perfect they're like learning from their mistakes last game already decker cage coming through narmash all perfect landing fail pulling everybody in decker will go down to the revenant we'll have to see if something else can happen here gadget trying to land out a lot of spells steel ult coming in will land on the murdoch murdoch to go down here revenant ult goes out but kalari actually picks up a kill on the feng mount in the jungle so she was able to pick up a kill there trying to even it out a little bit for team royal team but team royalty down two members she needs to be very uh cautious of this team royalty down two members for team noco's one plus they team noco also picked up the tower and picked up the prime now let's look at which prime sphere this was this was the wind spirit so you're getting movement speed attack speed and cooldown reduction for every single one you get now for team noco this is not the best prime spirit for them to be picking up it doesn't help a ton of their members doesn't really do a lot of event cooldown reduction for some of them so but denying it from team royalty is huge the cooldowns on team royalty are much bigger deal and the attack speed and the movement speed way bigger deal for team royalty so denying that from them is huge a lot of people say wind spirit is probably the weakest prime spirit i think that might be true actually i would tend to agree i think the biggest thing there is the cooldown reduction that benefits everybody and it is only three percent so it's really not that i mean the movement speed is nice but you don't really notice it in this game that much oh fey is rooted out takes a gadget mind not dealing a whole hell of a lot of damage yet but gadget gets rooted we've got nabash posturing up but he does take a mine on top of his head he's going to have to back out it did a lot of damage nabash holy crap those mines oh they hurt so bad we see solo lane trying to become interesting thing now and steel pushing it up under this rampages face gonna be interesting to see if they're able to take this tower from under him the tower is still fairly healthy but it looks like nabash or rampage is just going to give it away to them let them take that tower oh behind him brilliant he rampage is getting cut off let's see if his revenant takes the ultimate does not but picks up the kill hang out also picks up the tower this is a this is a very different game noco is just take is just running away with it this time we saw some nice team fights and some nice rally ups from royalty last time it looks like noco has figured them out yeah two towers on the side of team noco versus no towers for team royalty thing now once again just immuneing that gadget mind damage like it's nothing hope kalari takes the blue buff right from under fang mal's nose will look like she's trying to get out of there but she may get picked up by nabash and revenant revenant actually going to teleport across now that leaves nabash hanging out to dry but can revenant make something happen kalari going in on nabash she does not realize fang mal and the fair right there this will be a fight coming out on her oh gaggle brilliant gaggle doing a lot of damage the the debate was reversed baited incredible how did kalari live how did kalari live it's kalari spilled with damage too can they take out this wow they can indeed that's three for zero kill on fang mal wow now what we didn't see on the other side of the map is that the murdoch and revenant duped it out and murdoch did go down so that was a three for one map wide but in that fight for team royalty that was three for zero that gadget all made all the difference right there that was perfectly placed i thought that kalari was getting baited in but it looked like uh maybe kalari was the bait for the gadget underling has spawned once again and noco is already posturing up for it yeah i mean this is a great thing for team noco to pick up that dual lane inhibitor is already very low on health or lower on health so a prime spirit here or prime underling here would be a very good pickup for team noco but also team royalty really needs it to pick up any towers at the moment so anything was good here steel taking a lot of damage deal has to hold in trying to get in there and do something for his team the murdoch getting knocked up in the air steel trying to survive murdoch will go down kalari very very low needs to back out of this team fight rampage also trying to get out of there but rampage will get stunned and go down revenant trying to pick up more kills root going out on that gadget gadget going to take a lot of damage that's a double kill for revenant which means this will be a free prime underling for team noco now we've got the heals coming out so that uh thing now can participate in this fight a little bit more you see that nabash healing is just so effective you really got to get some sort of heal reduction items to counter nabash yep absolutely man goose let's see we've got the feng mao is carrying that prime underling orb that is the second one for team noco let's see if they go with their standard ammo and try and drop it on the spirit or if they try and drop it into somewhere a little more effective and maybe take a tower yeah if they do drop it on that prime spirit they're going to see a six percent movement speed increase a 10 percent attack speed increase and a six percent cooldown reduction and i mean they when it stacks up that we did say was the weakest but a stacked buff is still way better yeah i mean if a revenant doesn't normally build a lot of attack speed for his optimal build he's mainly just damage we've seen a lot of damage coming out from this revenant so that attack speed is just going to help him reload faster so i mean it's not a bad bad buff for revenant no not at all a rampage waiting in the bush gets the stun when nabash leaves in counter stun from nabash and he just uh speed boosts away prime spirit is up but nothing's really happening around it the team royalty is defending it really well calari on the other side of the map is in he's invading trying to steal some camps away face spots her but can't really do anything for it let's see if anything can happen lots of wards out on the map shout out to paragon the overprime competitive resetting us up with this batch because it's been a hell of a good couple of games so far yeah absolutely uh we see the oh perfect great kill on to murdoch there let's see over here we're chasing down nabash going down onto the nabash but it looks like the teams are grouping up around this nabash gonna get actually picked up by calari oh beautiful stun root goes out but calari will pick up the kill uses her ultimate on nabash that's a ball move they're gonna be able to pick up that calari pretty easily now no ultimate to save her in terms of damage but the revenant picks up a kill on gadget and the rest of team noco picks up that calari that nabash with the sixth sense they're bursting out of that bush and immediately dunking calari hey mangoose he sees dead people okay that's all that matters even if they don't know they're dead yet prime spirit coming through that will be the second one for team noco mini prime coming out and heading toward that mid lane the only freestanding tower left for team royalty probably will go down right here now like how they did that they pulled this the prime towards mid lane so that when they dropped the uh the what they pulled spirit towards mid lane so that when they dropped the underling it would actually go through the tower that they needed to take out incredible work lots of damage going out on that prime underling will it hit the tower it will not unfortunately but they still managed to break down that last tower they left it out there oh we do see something potentially going to happen here switch is going to get caught out by three members of team noco switch is going to have a very hard time getting out of this three people and that's just going to be a dead murdoch man he keeps trying to push up these lanes and paying for a pretty hardcore yeah i mean getting caught out is the kill difference right now between these two teams 11 kills for team royalty and 22 kills for team noco this is a very much bigger game for team noco and the snowball is much larger for team noco in this game as well with the amount of words they have calari may just may as well not have stealth gadget trying to make sure they're not going to collapse on her if she turns that corner trying to keep this lane alive calari trying to push down a mid lane tower trying to get something for her team but the team noco feng mao will be there to defend he'll be there for you okay don't worry about it rampage rock coming out hitting that revenant getting calari out of dodge where did that come from he threw that rock away back there always fun to see a nice rampage rock coming out of nowhere to stun people absolutely the prime guardian has now spawned steel to nearby on award though can something happen here gadget drops down looks like are we gonna see oh narbash actually takes the short portal across into the prime pit trying to clear out some wards placing some great wards for those of you that are in your games the ward in the pit is very very effective don't get me wrong but the ward behind the pit in that bush is almost more effective you have vision on the sea through that wall yep you have vision on the prime guardian it's not easily cleared by wards in the pit which means that you're getting the best of both worlds and a lot of information for your money looks like they might be trying to get oh murdoch is out by himself again he's getting sandwiched by this team trying to break away nice buck shopping is not enough his revenue picks up that kill of murdoch for murdoch every time he steps foot outside of a tower he gets collapsed on 14 1 and 3 mangoes on that revenue this revenue is not going to be a slouch 15 1 and 3 I apologize um incredible work from these teams fang malin that fight against murdoch though just let him he didn't attack him he didn't use any abilities he's like I'm letting my revenant take this he can get all the gold he needs now they're going to rotate over to this uh prime I don't think royalties can do anything I don't think maybe a last ditch steal for glari maybe but glari is dead for another 14 seconds and the rampage does have smite so if he can pull off some kind of cheeky smite steal here it'll be very interesting can he do it 1000 which team did it go to it did go to team noco ultimate going out on that rampage rampage going down to revenant once again uh rampage valiant effort 100 he got it within a hundred health with that smite but unfortunately it was not enough he blinked in for that too which which was nice it was it was like like you said good effort but uh unfortunately didn't do much for him now uh noco with all the advantages this time yeah absolutely noco is full towers up 14 kills has all the inhibitors at half health or less on team royalty like they are just manipulating this game they have both prime spirits they've got the prime guardian they had both prime underlings they are destroying in this game and they're just uh walking around the map with the punity they're sticking together really well i'll give them that yeah i mean it's at the point in the game where you need to be sticking together you can't just be out solo pushing lanes we saw this in the first game mangos that they had a lot of individual players they had a lot of individual heroes that are good by themselves and they're okay in team fights this time around we've got a huge disadvantage for team royalty because not only do they have a fed revenant they also have the team to help him out they've got the narbash the steel the feng mao in there like they are just doing the right things in the right ways as a team this time not just individual players yep their frontliners are getting in their face and revenant is putting them down see do we see the shield come out and we do every time uh interesting thing kalari is across the map not with her team if something happens here she is not anywhere near a fight breaking out stealing blue buff away from team noco i'm pretty sure blue buff is the least of noco's worries right now oh no they got our blue buff whatever shall we do but we see a prime spirit coming up now fey already picking it up trying to pull it away from that center area feng mao going in we're going to see this would be the third prime spirit team royalty not really in a position to come and attack it they're gonna try though half health on that wind spirit will it go down for team noco one more time it will that will be third prime spirit and we've seen the royalty can mount a pretty good defense but uh i don't know if they came when they're this far behind with that revenant just so far ahead we're not able to pick up a kill on fey mao revenant getting a kill on the kalari though revenant picking up a second kill on rampage steel going in trying to box out that gadget now can revenant make it in there revenant ults the gadget we'll pick up a triple kill on gadget so far i mean that is three for one for team noco's favor minions are up at that middle inhibitor we're going to see this no problem it may didn't hit go down here revenant just hitting so hard right now uh they and they have that was their third prime spirit mangoes meaning they're getting a nine percent cooldown reduction 15 percent attack speed and nine percent movement speed and that's a huge buffer for the team noco here noco performs well the first match but this match is just it's like a completely different team yeah their coordination's just through the roof again revenant 20 kills revenant what's his build man but oh he just got stunned as he's walking away full crit and cedar's chainsaw like it just i mean that's that that's how you do it fantastic job from team noco here and especially deloc on this revenant and he's still getting fast reload times because of all these wind spirits yep absolutely it's not like he's losing out by building full crit damage right now and here we go the blue buff was taken by kalari but the red buff was taken by team noco so it evens out in the end feng mal fighting out that kalari kalari not able to do much with her ultimate we did see this game ooo feng mal coming out on him brilliant play there steel coming through pick up the double kill on feng mal gadget will coming through on feng mal feng mal very low steel very low but at the end of the day revenant's just showing up to the fight so this fight's just beginning revenant's going to be able to oh blink out from the gadget gadget will get out of there revenant is going to not pick up a third kill here or another kill here but instead we'll just scare them off that's two inhibitors down for loyalty now they got those super minions pushing in the super minions have won the game for soco last match there's not much that they can do right now there's not i mean they're posturing up but uh they just got to look for a pick or something and it's it's this is the the downside of over prime is this late game lul where you're just waiting for objectives to spawn yeah but i mean team noco has done everything even outside of those objectives they just took two inhibitors they took the prime spirit they they are not slowing down just because because the game is in a lul if anything they're still speeding up feng mal no cares just going still straight in there fighting this gadget kalari even next to him but he doesn't even realize whole team rotating over to that solo they know this is the only inhib that isn't down so we're going to take this one that's got to be tilting for this gadget every time she mines that feng mal every single time he hits shield and just doesn't take anything from it wow that damage onto decker revenant did sell his blink he's got now the emergency treatment does not have blink anymore so he can't get through this wall he will have to back off but if we look at team noco you're already taking prime revenants just the distraction crew at this point feng mal and steel taking prime revenants back there hanging out what are they going to do they're not going to push onto a revenant and narbash especially they're trying but the i mean prime guardians already down to quarter health three thousand health and they do a two thousand health one thousand and ultimate comes out on rampage yep prime guardian goes down 40 on the core and revenant picks up yet another kill that's usually revenant's job in these uh the hot games is to take out the smite is when they come in to try and smite you go ahead and ult to whoever has the smite so that they can't use it but uh this game he's just so far ahead that he could do whatever the hell he wants yeah absolutely i mean takes out the murdoch in three shots takes out the inhibitor gadget trying to run away they can just end the game but they're chasing down the gadget instead oh my god two hits takes out the decker oh 22 1 in 6 on that revenant just insane and 24 on the core this will be the game for team noco and this will be the set nicely done noco takes it uh i'm not sure how the brackets go to work we'll learn that as we go through with these games these like like i said there are going to be uh this is going to be every saturday night and they're going to do it um 12 uh weeks so we're we're going to see more of this coming out and we're going to see more uh more gameplay uh i believe we're going to see noco uh pretty high in the standings they really uh they they brought their a game tonight and they laid it down look at the amount of gold that that revenant has holy shit he has 6000 more gold than the highest person on the other team just destroying five full items working on his sixth of course we're going to see these graphs and he's just gonna yeah no chance 42 000 damage right he's almost four times most other players in the game gadget the only one even close to comparable so just incredible play from these teams team noco pulling it out congratulations team noco on your win tonight uh and just again incredible gameplay uh tracerica uh i'll think we have that really set up this time around but uh uh maybe next time uh jelly jelly needs give ed a post game interview yeah sure i'll we'll give ed a post game interview sure all right let's see where he is put him in discord here hopefully is he in the fdm discord with us uh i don't think so i'm checking the uh paragon competitive league uh we maybe we can go into noco's channel let's see if everybody hello and we're here for the post match interview all right what do you what do you got for us i mean easy ed so you guys picked up that steel first pick or second pick actually that second game i mean what was your thoughts in pick bands for both of these games i just i just don't know i mean they're they're gonna give us steel i mean that's like biden's america that's free as can be so i just i just don't quite understand why they're gonna give that away but all right sounds good you know yeah i was really surprised to see them give that up uh i was surprised to see them give the fey up too like you guys did the fey and then they just didn't pick it i was like what is going on here yeah a lot of questionable things tonight i don't know either i don't know what was worse the them giving us steel and fey or me giving up uh some nice nights at the bars with some ladies that i hook line sinkered on and came here to play video games i mean hey you close those games out really fast you can still go catch up with them yeah no it's too late probably someone else zoomed in but it's fine doing all the matters you know well guys i mean congrats on those wins they were clean games both front to back i mean the first game you guys had that great invade second game you just started on a roll and just kept that movement going big momentum i don't know like steel glide you know i just can't stop it were you a little worried that first game though when they mounted that defense when their core was at one percent yeah my controller fucking died right before that all of our state and i don't know what happened yeah here we are now two and all i don't know those those meetings just kind of decided like oh piece of candy and they just kind of stopped mid thing and they're like well we're just gonna get some style points here real quick we're stack rd or our uh stat padding and you know then they wouldn't get finished for us so it is what it is you know great games all around great gameplay uh like like seeing the grucks the grucks was uh really good i can understand why they banned them out um that was a targeted ban right there though yeah yeah i was i was flattered but still upset with these guys but it's fine it is what it is can't be too upset if they gave you steel for it though so i would have rather had my other night go through but it is i'll take this you know at least i'm slamming something so all right all right man well i appreciate the games uh it was really fun to watch and uh yeah congratulations to you guys yeah all right good job guys man goose
