when that that go is open when that window opens up being able to see these guys go in and they see it like you you literally it's it's almost like uh uh you can see the body language of their character how they move their character it's like they just get more aggro and it's sick i love watching it i love seeing the finish and uh that was uh that was beautiful man yeah i i'm just impressed to see a mage take out druid is some i must say i i do want to clarify ek might have been playing a build that was suboptimal uh you know for the mage matchup maybe it was ek's bread and butter maybe ek wanted that against hunter or maybe against warrior maybe against rogue he's like i hope maybe ek was like i hope i don't fight a mage with this build and it might have been a build that wasn't quite as good in the mage right because normally the druid would just kind of moon fire and run away and cheat a form right that's normally what you'd see but it looked like ek wanted to fight it out um yeah he was he was playing pretty aggro at the end there he was he was getting in in range of him which i thought he was going to be in that's dendoria's advantage but uh no i think i think you're absolutely right ooh fell striker okay dalren fell striker combo here for vanis i didn't see that yesterday i don't recall seeing the fell striker but he's got the the big dagger off hand and uh yeah good stuff can we take a look at uh or they might it might be starting i don't know if we'll see his gear in time it's too far away uh don't need deflector nice like put the harem four piece of the tier zero point five magma forge band here we go big open from the uh from the rogue here he's going blade flurry uh blade flurry he uh is getting kind of here but uh jimmy jimmy switches back to a two-hander huge huge crit off the intercept closing back in on him he's cutting him out he doesn't he's he's jousting him essentially because he doesn't want to have vanis come in and build combo points on him and be able to uh oh get a kidney shot and be able to re-engage on him the pet knocks him out of oh no it knocks him out of the bandage the the bleed from jay broke the vanish and it stopped the bandage vanis is not having a great duel at all and this is jay's duel of his life right now it's just so one sided vanis had the kidney miss the vanish break and the the bandage uh interrupt so jay is feeling good having said that vanis has 60 seconds to kind of sit and stealth and collect himself having like like there there are still uh there's one blind or maybe two blinds and one vanish remaining for vanis so like things could still happen but jay must be smiling right now with an opener like that jay mounts up has they feel the sword and board on probably sitting d stance just ready for this opener we do want to maybe have a clock from the admins running here because this is a situation where vanis probably wants to wait as long as he can like 59 seconds but he has to open up according to the rulebook um after that first day that first day debuff just about ended i mean it's over now so he's he's getting close to that 60 seconds he probably stealthed probably at this but if he doesn't open within the next couple seconds that's 60 oh he's out of stealth oh he's out of stealth back there oh he's oh jay doesn't see him bro he gotta pull out the binoculars jay oh no he sprints back in and goes for the restel jay just didn't notice he was out of stealth there cheap shot comes out vanis maybe like okay maybe i can get better rng this time kiting out with a poison kidney shot does not miss this time trinket in reply there for jay there's the zircher stands big damage connecting vanis though kiting it out with the net but i don't have a backfires if that was just a double net it stopped once again vanis is not having the dual he's looking for we have the sticky glue coming out from jay counter the net from vanis and the evasion being committed here with those overpowers might hit through three seconds down on the intercept he's going behind them excuse my land there's a held potion into the mortal strike it's not going to be very effective blind connects but the mithril dragonling is going to chase vanis down keeping him combat stopping the restel from being able to happen there the cheap shot comes in vanis is just so dangerously low and jay is so tanky execute lands vanis falls and jay takes it and a very convincing warrior versus rogue duel here what an unbelievable showing by jay i mean dude that first open from vanis was was rough i mean that was unbelievably unfortunate that rough is a good word yeah that was yeah the kidney shot miss he i mean it's everything that could have gone wrong he had a bleed tick on him the pet was hitting him he i mean it was just uh it was brutal he lost the stealth he lost the bandage uh now it was i love how crafty it was that he was like okay well i have to get out of stealth within 60 seconds so he just went and stood on the other side of the map yeah eating and drinking out of stealth is hilarious to me that works i didn't see him i was like what's going on he uh needed binoculars or something to spot the rogue there and this next matchup we have gorthax in one hit gorthax gorthax gorthax is my editor for my youtube channel actually hell yeah maybe you can edit his own video here yeah maybe maybe gorthax gonna add his own video here we'll see what i okay let's see warrior versus shaman i mean huh look at that shaman's gear again one more time yeah i was gonna say some of those greens they are green but they're actually some of the time is best in slot these these greens have damage and healing and a stem and ends they're actually very good greens yeah see gorthax coming in he's going uh he's got some uh some hamstring spam on him pops rec so he's going he's going aggro right off the bat i guess one hit but he has jay lightning coming up on him with the recklessness that's a lot of damage he does a tuber major health pot combo and just trying to spam hamstrings on him goes to the world and just going for big damage nature lock gorthax actually might have a chance here our king back with the arcade bomb he might actually finish a huge gorthax let's go let's go gorthax that i love that arcane bomb five second silence like bro if you're five second silence and a warrior is on you and you're in execute range it's just like i mean all you can do is ult at four really like i don't see that's brutal dude popping rec and then having that chain lightning combo hit you was that's so unbelievably scary i thought it was going to kill him straight up because uh you just you take so much damage the the thing is huge to begin with but then you take so much more damage with the wreck and everything else uh that was great to watch man i love watching like bang bang duels like that it's uh it's fantastic yeah that was a good one i like that i appreciate both players just like going in a couple more greens here from le ponds we're talking about uh oh this is uh the uh diamond flash set rather okay diamond flash set just with the plus healing to get himself a big hot and okos is a mage we saw perform pretty well yesterday pops that freezing band for the rng novus we have witch blade furbug medicine pouch a lot is embraced from scullo are some really really great gear here from okos and we all know this is mage favored right um it's mage versus warrior i mean come on having said that warriors in this tournament are allowed uh pretty much anything they they want and skull of a penning doom looks like it might be on for le ponds here which will give him the opportunity to uh take damage breaking a polymorph and other crowd control effects um and increasing movement speed and at the same time you can pair that with a fap and just kind of go hey i'm like right here it's off the bat skull of a penning doom immediately and then uh looks like some type of cc break into the school of pain he hasn't clicked it off yet le ponds just wanting to go in on the mage but no charge or intercept yet but i actually like that because the uh intercept will be able to come in after the mage blinks and that's key i like the skull diamond flask combo because you're getting you're taking damage from the skull but then you're also getting healed from the diamond flask to uh not get cc to the beginning i thought that was uh i thought that was pretty crafty but unfortunately it didn't really amount to much yeah looks like the kona cold resisted and this is probably not the opener le pond wands i mean the mage can turtle this out forever a nice frost reflect there from le the mage wants to obviously kite this out the le ponds going for here is is really ooming the mage not dying and letting the mage go and look at this the mage is 40 and le pond is still full life from all of the magic resistance potions he has on and all of the uh maybe frost uh reflector and frost resists and the heartbeat breaks charge comes out into an intercept no more blink and that's an ice block frost nova resists this is like perfect rng for le pond to win this this is exactly what he's looking for and now the goblin rocket helm instant breaks from the zirca rage this is what le pond has been waiting for arcane bomb sleeping dust though comes out will for sagan if the poly gets interrupted it misses arcane bomb once again is a land that would be huge if it doesn't it does okos popping the mana pot he has the second block available he's down to 30 percent mana that we might see a warrior take out a mage in our bingo game from earlier today we have the frost nova might break a cost so many of these sheeps are resisting okos is probably feeling terrible right about now oh it's the ability device yeah the bleed is going to take him out though le pond getting another charge okos might have to use a second and final ice block in just a second cold snaps another frost nova poly more first aid evo k combo from okos probably coming out here he needs to get that evo k off because he's very low on mana assuming he still has it le pondo had a great stretch in this last minute or two dude this is been an unbelievable start for le pond not right at the beginning right at the beginning it looked kind of bad but then he turned around every single thing was going his way he just he's got to do his best to keep okos from being able to reset this you can see he's drink walking that's what that pausing is and his mana is ticking up le pond goes in gets the charge on him blink intercept okos is going to try and separate here he blocks i'm assuming trying to stall out cooldowns he's going to get his blink up he's probably going to be able to get a nova up here there it is there's no resist resisted again le pond is getting the rng of a lifetime and okos is tapped he i think he has an evo k unless i'm mistaken he used to manage him warrior already used to wreck he won't be able to connect with that either but this is really le pond's dual here like le pond is a hundred percent life he's going to get the mount up he's getting charges he's getting value from intercepts okos is back to 60 percent mana but zero ice blocks he needs that sony he needs that sony digital epic mail that's what he needs yeah le pond is going to have another free action potion coming off cooldown some of these things that were like 30 minute cooldowns and they'll pretty much never rotate back up okos is still in this he has 45 percent mana but these heartbeats the resists the rng is not going okos away le pond must be smiling with that rank one blizzard to keep the combat and it actually was maybe just at a range le pond mounting up despite the blizzard charge comes in once again nice nade into the poly great combo there okos building some distance popping some some fireworks zerker stands charge on that frost bowl and le pond is just so tanky he's using those potions probably on cooldown to keep up as much resistances and damage protection is possible and the mage is trying to burst through it le pond though as i say that dipping to about 60 percent life health stone to top him back off and this is going to be the major mana versus the warrior health bar here there's the will of forsaken on the fear mage going for another reset there's the evil so something something that's interesting for me to watch here is with the majors a lot of times majors you guys have the ability to to reset the duel and you you go until it's like an advantageous situation for you to really be able to go what happens in these duels with the warriors now because it isn't anything goes tournament essentially you're using a greater frost protection potion every two minutes so if you stall too long then they're going to get a massive absorb shield on your next go so you don't really have that same opportunity that you normally have as a as a mage versus a warrior to be able to just stall it out as long as possible and uh it's made it really really really exciting to watch i love watching these warrior mage duels that's a great point like le pond is is getting those cooldowns back he's getting another free action potion another magic resist pot so okos can turtle all he wants but now like let's be honest okos has no ice blocks okos has no evo okos has oh and there's another nova resistant and he's just waiting until he gets the right rng like le pond is walking in just like okay let me get a resist here another resistor to and i can finish him off and okos is he's kind of in a bad spot right now i mean to be completely honest he's he's low on mana now it doesn't mean he can't win it's a mage okos can kite forever having said that the sticky glue comes out after the blink the arcane bomb connects you cannot counter spell that it's going to land okos has no outs and no mana i don't know what the mage is going to do here the polymorph cast and does land unfortunate for le pond that's going to maybe be another successful reset it was well played from le pond there and that and that last advantage it really was it really was i like seeing the uh counter spell there get bombs buddy but uh but yeah man this is uh this is going great okos has to get mana here man he has to get mana you can see him drink walking even though he's so far away he knows every single sip is important every single sip matters and le pond has just a little bit of frost resistance equipped i believe whenever we saw his gear earlier and that little bit of frost resistance is going a massive massive distance in this duel and it is uh it is really looking bad for okos man it really is getting that grenade those good grenade trying to open a little bit here trying to do as much damage you can trying to separate instead of resist on that first one did like no damage he just has so much resistance i see people in the chatter like these frost bolts are doing nothing and that's why with this specific rule set warrior versus mage isn't so one-sided anymore warriors all of a sudden our raid boss tanks mages have their mana pool they can work with and it's like the question is just okos have enough mana to even take out le pond 20 frost resistance on that one ring there there's that spider belt that's going to give him that freedom and get him out of the root break and we've seen that we have the second diamond flask used from le pond we're probably going to swap shrinkage we have that frost resistance shoulder enchant as well from le pond and another five resistance on that cloak so le pond is just buying time till the rng is in his favor okos doing the same thing but he's just not getting that rng he needs le pond wants to connect now these counterspells coming out from okos just to clarify the use case okos is keeping combat on le pond with the counterspell so the charge doesn't come through if people are wondering in the broadcast like why the heck are you counterspelling a warrior that's why and it's very well played from okos it's you know nice foresight there the piercing howl lands mortal straight connects looks like it's a crit with the deep wounds le pond lands another arcane bomb okos it's um once again but le ponds getting low too but the mage decides to fight this head to head he's going to lose le pond have a chance here with a big shatter le pond might be done for there's a zircher stance charge mage has just enough mana to blink here's a tough decision for okos you can sheep the warrior back to full and reset because your um but le pond is already so low that it's like should i just finish and kill him no okos as the decision to make here really soon right do i reset or do i fight le pond at 60 life looks like okos is 40 percent mana 50 percent nearly with the drink walk and it's like okay i think i have to fight him out here i think okos might actually go for it here there's the counterspell to maintain combat to stop the charge and battle stance another frost bolt resists it looks like no damage nearly coming through a frost resistant pot committed from le pond into an intercept into a goblin rock and helm answered with the ice block quickly from okos thorium grenade lands frost bolt being used decides to cancel the frost bolt go for the polymorph reset we get a resist on polymorph another resist on frost so another resist on kona cold that's three in a row my friends and that is not what okos wants he's trying to fake out the polymorph cast and two more resist what is this is unbelievable okos had like five resist in a row there he's not happy with that he finally lands the polymorph and and runs away for his dear life but man with r and she like that it's going to be really really tough for okos to ever secure a kill onto le pond you know what's crazy is i actually think this this duel might have already been over if le pond had an epic mount because i think it's been able to get so much more mana like two to three ticks per one of these resets because he doesn't have the epic mount i don't know what happened uh oh question mark okos has defeated le le pond was that a not a makara it timed out because it was a normal duel they forgot some luck girl guys yes this indeed is a mock garage tournament dual should not time out here this is a dual to the death not a uh normal dual tournament i love how nobody noticed and she anybody in chat said we didn't notice they didn't know literally nobody nobody noticed that's hilarious dude oh my gosh so i i will hear from the admins in a second i think the best thing would be to just replay that get that get into that mock as soon as we can with the current cooldowns maybe we'll see what we decide on it could be a situation where we move on and and wrap back around in that dual properly later but man that was that was cool to see i i really like that oh they are getting into an actual hooker that was all practice guys we were kidding this is the real dual it was cool to see though man like i like to see a really even match up in the warrior versus mage versus this one-sided uh experience that we normally get to spectate uh there we go okay so they're back opened up i mean they did they again they're they're they're empty right now they don't have all their cooldowns they normally have they had like a 30 second maybe maybe one minute break there uh getting basically uh getting their cooldowns back so i do think we're going to see a lot of uh kind of more of what we've seen and i think lapan is is just the way that it has gone so far i think it's uh most likely that lapan is just going to get his opportunity to uh to get okos whenever he's low on mana and he's going to get a big resist and it's he's he's playing for that rng he's playing for getting those resists and he's gotten a ton of them i mean it just looked like just off the cuff looking at his gear and not seeing it it looked like he probably about had about 50 60 uh frost resistance and on top of uh just some other random resists which matter for like the fire blasts or uh even polymorphs arcane magic there you go there's one there's a resist right there so uh it's huge man it's uh it's huge yeah and when you're coming from behind here in this matchup like the warrior is a lot of the times yeah you're just just praying for those resists you land a resist and it's like okay that's my opportunity to strike and and lapan is doing that very well i think the the difficulty for this mage is is like do i have enough mana to even kill this guy like if i have a hundred percent man like okos needs full mana and a mana pot and a mana gem to probably kill lapan if lapan was afk just just kind of sitting there doing nothing because so many of these abilities are resisting and he has so much life and uh even partial resists um and stuff like that it looks like there is a coward debuff we'll need to see from the admins and hear what that was that wait that looks like he fled we're getting word and when you flee from a makgarah there is a three day debuff that reduces stats by 20 percent lapan unfortunately now has that debuff um it looked like it was an accidental flee now we'll hear from the admins on the ruling you can still duel with his debuff like they could go for a rematch but that coward debuff will mean he has 20% reduced stats and that's three days of play time by the way it's not three days of real lifetime so um it's not what you want to see for lapan we're gonna figure out the answer here um we're gonna figure out the uh coward debuff druid wins it to all major upset no i'm uh yeah i'm uh i'm kind of shocked that that actually happened i mean the range is three times as big as it normally is we're gonna get a ruling from the admins here they're working on on the back end we we have a team of admins work out everything uh i would say hey let's message that gm back by the way can roll yeah that's not a bad idea hey what's up man please remove that yeah that would be that would be the ideal situation um yeah i don't know i don't know if we'll actually get that or not but uh we'll get a we'll get an answer from the admins here shortly and uh we will hear what uh what we're going to be doing next how do you think that duel is going to go is are you how do you think that was going to end i thought i thought lapan was going to i mean i i thought he was kind of playing for rng he was playing for the resist and hoping hoping for the best but it looked to me like he did have the upper hand i i think he was going to be able to win that look like lapan had the upper hand having said that it's a mage you know lapan was down to 30 one time in a nova with the shatter okos can turtle that out and kite that out for another hour if he wanted just waiting for uh go where he had no resist at all and lapan could eventually die so i don't want to say it was a hundred percent one way the other i do agree though lapan seemed to have the the upper hand there um especially with how rng was in his favor and okos was struggling to get enough damage to actually take out lapan just with the hp pool so it could have been one of those duels that you know theoretically never really ends until one player kind of just like all right i'm done at this kind of a thing we are going to review that footage from where i'm sitting as fan i did not see any malicious intent from the mage uh there i i really didn't uh maybe i missed it maybe when reviewing the footage the admins can give me more clarity um i don't know if i saw malicious intent in terms of baiting someone outside the dual area and then see seeing them i i don't know if that was the case but we'll have to review the footage and get the final wording on that um and see i mean there are so this is one of those situations in a mock or out tournament where if someone dies or if someone gets that deserter it's tough it's tough right you have to make a call at the end of the day um no matter what lapan has deserter or uh coward right he has that for three days so for the rest no matter what if they replay it i'm just saying that out loud it's such a funny phrase but uh he has coward he has he has coward for three days um but yeah we're uh we're gonna try and find out and see what happens i'm uh i'm talking to some people too uh to see to see what's gonna happen here and then we we will get word from the admins so uh yeah that's uh that's the case and uh that's the current case of what's going on here um oh hold on let's see chatting chatting chatting yeah and what else is great by the way we're talking about it would be great if you know we could we could figure out a solution to this star forge systems man starboard systems our title sponsor is fantastic absolutely yeah it's starboard systems is also great if you guys want to check out starforgesystems.com for your uh new pc you're looking for a new pc you can go to star forage systems we have new custom cases as well the golden dragon the clouded gates the jellyfish crossing if you guys want a cool uh custom case build or uh you can get the plate lights on their own the plate lights are sick if you're watching my streams at uh twitchcon or new york comic con you probably saw them on stream at some point where uh you can actually take those plate lights and you can buy them on their own you don't even have to get them as part of the custom case you can buy them on your own and uh you can put them in your own build if you have that same case so star forge we're also looking at making some uh cool custom pieces for people who want to build their own PCs instead of buying uh buying a prebuild so um hey what's up guys hey hey so we've got a ruling um the ruling is as follows the mage oko was eating outside of the dueling range and lep charged him he frosted over him outside of the dueling range competitors supposed to be mindful of the dueling range so that's on oko he uh has forfeited this duel and he's okay with it lep has the coward debuff he'll be moving on if there is a guardian angel out there that can remove that debuff that would be greatly appreciated we're gonna see if we can get that done behind the scenes but for now lep moves on oko loses that duel and we're going to the next duel okay so perfect thank you that's the ruling and uh i'm uh i'm i'm i'm praying a lot i'm praying a lot on the keyboard right now to see if uh see if we can find a guardian angel so yeah that would be the ideal situation obviously uh you know it's it's tough to be where we're at but i do think that's that's a great ruling um especially if we're looking at the footage if the mage was already out of bounds the rules do say to be mindful of that dueling if the mage was out of bounds drinking and then the warrior charged him and then cc's him out you know they you know that kind of it could have been prevented it's like uh yeah it's not i don't think it wasn't i don't think it was malicious i don't think it was intentional but it could be seen as like a bait or something that's what that's why that rule is in place that's why that that decision is left up that way but uh i want to say props to props to okos i mean okos being being like hey like i i i get it i see i see how it is and um you know good good on him man good on him for for kind of accepting that because i know i know that's like a tough way to lose whenever it's like off of a weird like technicality like that but uh him kind of seeing how how it was going to play out or whatever i'm accepting it i you know hearts and chaperogos for real yeah seriously being mature about it just be like all right these are the rules i respect it and uh yeah we'll we'll move on and hopefully find something to circumvent that uh coward debuff next match up we have hydra versus saga hydra the shadow priest household name you guys know and love him he's been here since the start of wow pvp pretty much and uh i'm a i'm a big hydra fan i can't wait to see this next match saga the elemental shaman and and we've seen we've we've been seeing a lot of shamans uh in this tournament and a lot of the times when the game goes long the shamans um and hydra ends up you know or the the enemy player ends up building the advantage but wow saga is gear i didn't realize man look how stacked he is yes that shadow reflector over the ogre match i from uh darkmoon tribute there the shell necklace i mean he's saga is stacked hydra though same thing also best in slot gear here pretty much all around hydra has the zoo trinkets on the barabs and the chicken uh necropile robe tons of stamina tons of resistance and of course both players with the goblin rocket helm should be a fun one to watch unfold here yeah no absolutely i mean you can see uh i i like seeing these guys gear out for uh like for the long haul right like getting the spirit and chance on the weapons and knowing that a lot of these duels against other really good players they're they're going to be long naturally they are going to be long duels and they are prepared to play it long uh and it's just having that uh having the the presence of mind to be able to uh flip to like aggressive mode whenever you need to yeah that's right and saga i'm curious if he's mindful of shaman mana and that being a weakness if he has a strategy to play against that like maybe there's dark runes maybe there's an early mana pot ghost wolf uh being casted and the the charge helmets interrupt the hydra saving the mana and using his auto attacks in between the global cooldowns kind of swinging purging and auto attacking down the totem says love to see it full fear coming out from hydra after the full purge inner focus used early to get it on cooldown both trinkets used hydra playing aggressive right off the back grounding totem uh instantly slain there from hydra mind place being casted and saga actually the one trying to slow the duel down with the magic dust on the hydra willa for sakin i believe comes out to interrupt that major mana pot used early from hydra to keep the mana nice and healthy for the long duel and saga seems to be on the back foot from the start on this one yeah absolutely i mean seeing hydra go in and play aggressive and uh he's staying in range of saga for for the whole times to which is kind of odd because you would think it'd be kind of odd because uh saga gets the advantage of his shocks and stuff but what this does for hydra is uh it keeps saga from being able to separate from that rocket helm is huge he was he was absolutely massive by the way trying to get a reset here healing himself up first as opposed to going for the purge spam which we've seen a lot from a lot of the other shamans the whole time uh absolutely huge because he doesn't want to uh hydra wants to keep close to him so that if uh if saga gets away he doesn't he doesn't reset or whatever we talked about earlier with shadow priests having trouble with mobility shamans do have a fair bit of mobility uh between frost shock and between ghost wolf being able to uh to separate like that hydra's doing a phenomenal job man sticking to him really really good and being able to keep that pressure all the time going for a big chain lightning combo that was it that was the one opportunity for saga to win it didn't connect as hard as it wanted to in saga falls hydra made that look easy man hydra was on fire dude he that was that was textbook unbelievable unbelievable by hydra right there really really good i mean start to finish it like he he just looked comfortable he looked like he was in his groove it wasn't like hmm like all these decisions were thought out he just played perfectly like every button just used used used every global expended played aggressive from start to finish shaman when um saga had that one chance like we got like double crits maybe um but hydra had a shield up and ready and doesn't get one shot and saga lost and so yeah i'm just i'm really impressed with hydra i'm excited to see uh who he moves on to next year in the brackets we have big sad and nick another shaman priest matchup after this and man hydra made that look incredibly priest favored in that in that last round so we'll see if big sad is anything different in store for us yeah no that was uh that was that was that was a beautiful beautiful last round uh so big sad is going into this he has a shadow reflector on uh he's running the the acts of the deep woods we've seen that uh we've seen a little bit this tournament haven't we a few times this tournament and uh i think he's got can we scroll over a little bit slower did how much was he was he wearing much resistance gear on big sad it didn't seem that he had much resistance outside of the uh outside of that shadow reflector so um we'll see how this goes for nick and big sad let's see if we have a similar outcome man both these gear the both these guys just put so much time the leveling these characters one to 60 i know we've mentioned it but just to repeat ourselves to gear to hit 60 to get these items all without dying it was a prerequisite today to play in the tournament right you had to level one to 60 without dying which is a feat in itself you had to go for that 0.5 gear without dying which is another feat in itself so every competitor today has played the last 30 days on hardcore mode without dying and without further ado the duel's underway we have nick using the same opener hydra just did use the goblin rocket elm ccs the shaman enslave the totems with the spam purge is a exact opener hydra did i don't know these guys practice together if there's some strats being shared here but uh nick might have a hydra repeat here with the strategy purge is coming out from the shaman as well to return fire shadow word pain being reflected with the shadow reflector from big sad great tech there fear looks like it resists and this is not the same duel uh we saw from last time nick already a 50% life big sad putting on the pressure putting on the heat two-hander comes out from big sad oh it's maybe it's an enhanced shaman that's my mistake from not putting it out sooner looks like that a shadow word pain reflected though bro the goblin rocket elm but nick is one shot bro it could be over nick is 10% life big sad made it look easy the other way around big sad what a play by big sad that's great dude it's so funny because that shadow reflector from earlier bring that rock and i'm not mattering but how funny is that that it's like this one a random thing that it's an ability you don't have whatever it's just it's one random thing it's like oh yeah ends up breaking the rocket home but it's all good because he needed that gap closer to come in and to be able to finish the job so uh yeah huge huge huge oh it's so funny like we talk about these duels like this is favored and this and that or that looked hard or easy and then you see a situation like this where hydra takes out saga like no issue and then you see a shaman versus priest again and big sad takes out nick no issue and it's like oh wait a minute what's going on here yeah i i guess for a bit of clarity i think big sad was in hands and so that is a different matchup to be fair to saga um you know the le matchup you go um you're trying to go for that big one shot big sad just put on that two-hander got some good swings off and nick by the way he's the same opener hydra did it just didn't go with the same form um even though it was a nice shadow reflector that shadow word pain actually broke the goblin rock and elm which was kind of funny too yeah no absolutely i think i think it's uh we're going to be able to see stuff like that happen in classic wow all the time where i said we're going to but we see something that happened in classic wow all the time where you think there's one matchup going one way and uh whenever it comes down to it's like oh well never mind we were totally off so it's it's just gonna happen that's just part of it uh so cool to see i mean i love that we got two two of the same classes and like you said there might have been two different specs right where you had one ellie in one enhance but still it's two two of the same classes going back to back and uh having two completely different types of duels really outside of the opener so yeah and this next matchup i'm really looking forward to another warrior versus hunter jmd we saw perform very very well yesterday one of the top performing warriors of the qualifiers against big traps normally once again it's a hunter maybe well i don't know this i think it's closer to a 50 50 to what we've seen it i think go both ways um and this is kind of going to be a big deciding factor for how the rest of the tournament unravels right if hunters are making it through or if warriors are making it through that's because that's going to uh dictate what the warlocks and the priests are then going to be facing in these next rounds um looks like jmt uh fully raged up ready to go dual flag drops and that's not a dual flag that's a dual to the death flag actually which is exciting to see and uh yeah we have this hunter versus warrior both players with pets here jmt pre-popping the chicken and dragonling and that's probably to get them on cooldown to swap to new trinkets um so when the dual starts you have the pets you swap new trinkets and you can use more trinkets yeah like uh i i i think that's um with hunters in general i remember whenever we were raiding and leveling up hunters these guys just always wanted every single trinket i mean it's always that's the whole me with hunters everything's a hunter item but that's the thing they just constantly want to swap trinkets all the time so they want everything duals under way faps been used from jmd zergostansi swapping to it intercept pre-fapped from big traps pre-sprint as well it's well played to maintain that distance jmd is doing the best he can to close the gap but it's not looking like he's going to be able to do that damage slowly ticking in from big traps but really just looking to maintain that gap jmd changing the strategy and this is what top tier players do and one thing's not going your way you change it up decides to kill the pet back to bril sending him home decides to uh relieve pressure by having the pet being retracted here big traps is going to have his pet die and that's going to be a huge win there for jmd early on yeah i think uh i think jmd really needs to go ahead and push this advantage here before uh and he's he's running away here but if he can if he can get healed up a little bit i think he needs to be able to go before big traps gets too much mana back or be able to get his pet back yeah the revive pet i'm surprised it's not being casted maybe he thinks he doesn't need it to win uh if he gets caught like mid revive pet maybe he's nervous uh aim shots coming through big traps just wants to maintain that distance the trap does land maybe he's waiting yeah maybe do the revive now we'll see yeah good call he's he's popping the aspect of the cheetah decides to go for the aim shot he's like you know what i don't need a pet here screw my pet bore bore died you can say that i don't know thorium nades like that's a long range grenade if that lands that would be insane that would have been sick that would have been sick we have uh we have big traps just keeping his distance jmd removing the poison sting so he can get a couple ticks of first aid well well played there i'm really min maxing that first aid uh bandage tick but i mean it's hard it's hard for the warrior to to close that gap especially with the hunter long range abilities concussive shots you can go circus dancing at that charge but in circus dance of course you're taking more damage so if you're sitting in circle too long it's going to be hard to uh close that gap without just dying yourself another elixir of poison cleansing removing the sting there from the hunter and a diamond flask has been used from jmd maybe that'll be able to top him back off yeah i think the way jmd is playing it seems like he's worried about taking too much damage trying to engage on big traps and then getting a getting stuck in a frost trap which he might get right here yeah he'll get right here and then big traps is going to open on him again that diamond flask is now gone keep that in mind so he did lose some of his healing and it does look like he has a skull of impending doom used so uh he's using that skull of impending doom he's going to want to use that skull of impending doom to prevent getting trapped later he popped a fap earlier and now he basically has a full go to to be able to stick to him there's no wing clips no nothing nothing's going to be able to help big traps separate from jmd so jmd really needs to take the opportunity now to push he switched back to his two hander there's no more uh there's no more skull of impending doom so he is going to sit that trap unless it heartbeat resists which links looks unlikely at this point he's going to open back up big traps was he bandaging uh i think we got out of range of him so we can't we didn't see the update but yeah it did he did bandage right there and huge grenade huge grenade that's going to help him be able to close get back in a range for the intercept he's got the hamstring on him pops berserker rage and he is trying to he's right now he's paving he's trying to parse but unfortunately he's going to get scatter trapped he did get trapped and big traps is going to keep trying to separate now big traps he already uses bandage he has uh he's not able to bandage right now he also has the pet on him so he can't drink so jmd really just has to keep pushing this thankfully he does have the pet following him along he is hopping on the mount so the pet is chasing him he's out of combat the pet comes back he's on his mountain he's going to be able to try and close like this i would assume he's going to shoot him here probably with a concussive trying to open again or he's going to try and get mana he does not because he did not shoot him he was able to get a charge in battle stance be able to get more rage so charge he gets some distance goes for intercept he's got the big stun he throws the net that looks like a sticky glue maybe and big traps is low but he is able to get away jmd also retaliates with his own sticky glue he's probably going to get a combat here back into battle stance and be able to charge but no he gets too close and he gets shot ah big blunder there from jmd but man i must say if i'm jmd i'm smiling right about now it's a very similar match up to warrior versus mage that we were just casting a second ago it's it's that mana and health of the hunter versus just jmd's life bar look at that jmd is just 88 life the hunter has no pet the hunter has finite amounts of mana like jmd is just a tank and he's not stopping his assault just going in over and over and eventually you're going to get a one of these traps that resists you're going to get a look at that a heartbeat break early potentially and that's the rng jmd's waiting for it's just a couple nice resists or anything like that looks like the duelers have have stopped for for a moment the duel might have ended i don't see either of them like coward debuff thankfully um are we getting another is that a normal do i swear i saw the dual flag maybe i'm mistaken i swear i saw a dual flag dual of the death flag i don't i don't know what happened there if we could see i'm not sure the mongrel we're okay i thought the macarons were not supposed to time out whatever they're going for it i guess they're going away if it times out they're going they're going again right away yeah and that i like that it's like okay something something happened with the duel looks like mongrel might have timed out but they just they just put that another flag and keep dueling if anything the hunter got a little bit of life but it's not like not that crazy big because of shot is of course landed big traps kiting in massive circles with no pet available jmd gets that charge that's a three seconds down every intercept and the scatter fain death trap now if one of these resists and it looks like the frost reflector or the resist or both might have come out there and that's what jmd wants to actually finish this off we got sleeping dust we got to resist he's just been waiting for this for so long and he finally has his opportunity to get some damage him but there's a timer there's going to be another scatter trap coming in about 20 seconds or sooner now so jmd has to push this advantage or it's just going to be another trap it's going to be the same thing we have the net come out we have big traps kiting it out with the rent so there's going to be no first aid available jmd pops the free action potion pops zircher stands tries to get the intercept off big traps keeping the cheetah form on uh looks like that rend isn't quite going to take the days jmd mounting up and uh yeah we've seen this duel before right jmd the warrior he's a tank he's running after the hunter hunter is running as far as he possibly can looks like a mortar might have struck the hunter there uh fap is still up for a couple of seconds the intercepts done lands and big traps kiting like an expert i wonder if he was trying to bait out a concussive shop while he was fapped because he went he went out of the dead zone like he was he was going to get hit i wonder if because he had his fap up he was trying to burn the concussive shot cool down or something or i'm almost thinking warriors like okay maybe this is stupid of me to say well another trap resist maybe it's the stupid of me to say but they're so tanky they could almost just sit there and use their bow and shoot back i'm not even kidding they could just shoot they could shoot back and then throw nades and then use pets so they use their own pets their own nades yesterday he almost he almost finished the duel with the crossbow didn't he i think he was about to i'm not i'm not kidding like these warriors are so tanky they might be able to just use their bow and the hunter will um and then i don't know um i i guess putting the pressure on is important though jmd constantly running towards big traps makes jm uh big traps feel scared makes him use more mana on things he might not want to since he's not stationary can't just charge up aim shots though the keeping up the pressure is important i'm kind of half kidding there but um the tea is used from jmd it's gonna be a quite a substantial heal there for jmd topping himself back up to at least 73 life and you only have three uses of that ever and then it's gone so that was one of jmd's teas and after that i mean he only has two more for the rest of this tournament assuming he used none yesterday concussive shot does land jmd though gets the mount up which is really great i'm really surprised uh big traps hasn't made an effort to revive his pet at all yeah i i feel like big traps are making a huge mistake by leaving his pet dead um because it's the the duel's been so rinse and repeat jmd is just trying to charge in waiting for the opportune time to charge in and and be able to make a play i thought that getting the charge in the first place like he can get him in combat and he can stop that charge so it's uh not having that pet up is uh i i i i think that's a big mistake seems like it needs to do it too yeah seems like it uh you know i i don't main a hunter and you know maybe big traps has a strategy uh you know maybe he doesn't want jmd to build full rage on the pet i who knows yeah maybe there's something that we're not thinking of and and big traps has the tech and that nade would have been cool if it landed once again doesn't quite land it's a really hard to land nades at that range jmd going battle stance to try to get a charge doesn't quite land at the intercept though does land big traps prefapping it going with the aspect of the cheetah back to hawk getting more damaging jmd has no gap closers for at least 15 20 seconds here that faps coming off and jmd's just getting teed off on and poor jmd there's nothing you can do in this situation you're just waiting for that next intercept but when it happens scatter trap will be the answer scatter trap and there it is jmd's just praying for a resist there it doesn't happen big traps building distance once again and it could be a nice big aim shot finish here jmd it's not feeling too hot with this a lot of damage 39 percent tuber being used root tuber is a use item two minute cool down that will restore a bit of hp there for for the warrior diamond flask used again might be the second or third time now it's going to restore a little bit of life he doesn't have the plus healing gear on to amplify the effect however yeah just that little bit can help mitigate some damage but it's not going to be the whole uh it's not going to be your whole thing there but he used to get away was that an in this pot no mish cloaking device all right i didn't see it there you go one for a drink reset off the the cloak which is nice but jmd's back to full life do you do you think big traps made a good exchange there like jmd got to get full and big traps barely got any mana now jmd's on top of him i think big traps might have set himself behind with that cloak yeah i think i think he did too i mean so there's a couple things with the pet the pet will allow jmd to get more rage back but the ability to keep him in combat and big traps can just separate from him so well i i feel like being able to keep jmd in combat and not letting him mount up and charge at you constantly uh it's worth oh that was a hamstring now this is bad that was a charge fab so he actually dropped combat there i believe was a heartbeat break free action potion jmd is not going to be stopped for at least 15 more seconds i believe the intercepts available hamstrings being spammed deep wounds ticking down big traps as a fab of his own trying to get out of range mortal straight connects another crit deep wounds there's the intercept three seconds done well and execute connect we have a scatter coming up soon jmd's wings absolute best to avoid it jmd does not want to get scattered trapped of course it's inevitably going to come he's praying for the resist it doesn't happen big traps though 20 percent life 20 percent mana this is the opening jmd's looking for man big traps running as far as he possibly can but the traps going to end jmd might be able to get a long range nade amount up or a charge and i mean this isn't looking good for big traps it reminds me just if lapon versus okos it's the same thing the warriors can get kited so easily but for big traps you can't kill them easily it's really hard you dump in so much mana and so much damage and jmd just tanks it so it's like what are you supposed to do another charge frost reflector comes out on the pre-scattered trap that might be reflected there's a sticky glue a sticky glue to reply it gets resisted that's pretty lucky for big traps and unfortunate therefore jmd we have the opportunity to swap to zerker and to get the charge off but it can cost of shot rng once again helping out big traps there's a sprint boots yeah spring boots from jmd he's coming in with a rocket boots now and no big traps got rocket boots of his own trying to separate he's got a concussive shot on jmd and he's going to keep trying to build that distance on jmd it really was looking bad for big traps i'm assuming he's going to be able to come in drop a trap right there exactly and be able to separate and be able to turtle this thing out even longer i'm surprised he did not bandage or heal up at all before shooting him that might have been a big mistake as jmd comes in with the intercept he's going to scatter it's his trap up it is and he traps him again no way big traps dropping the traps shooting him again not able to get his held up at all he has his bandage cool down up so he's not able to bandage and he is getting chased down by jmd jmd putting on it looks like he's wearing the skull and the one-hander he is and he is getting ready for that next trap to hit keep in mind there's a 30 second cooldown the nade misses there is a 30 second cooldown excuse me he's fat so the maid didn't miss but the uh he's immune to the the stunt itself because of the fat his skull might still be on cooldown never mind he took the skull off and he cannot get out of the trap anymore so unfortunately big trap gets away one more time and he is bandaging again my goodness this is uh this is something jmd hops at his mount if you're big traps like what do you do to win this like you've been behind for so many minutes jmd finally closed the gap and this might be it we have the deep wounds and the rend ticking and the hamstring the sticky glue comes out maybe jmd is oh there it is there is the big bow take him out jmd give him the bow he flasks he flasks to get his health back up over 20 if he can get an intercept here intercept execute it is over yep that's all it's going to take from jmd big traps is so low 15% life there's that a scatter trap oh the trap is on the ground he saw the animation doesn't have that hit by it he has to dodge it he's dodging it all with it he's like a pseudo pillar shoot him he's just taking kink plus him already come on jmd send him with the bomb send him all with the bomb oh this is this is scatter big traps on his last leg he's three percent life jmd try to close the gap another kink cusp of land bro if i'm jmd i'm taking out the bow next time man just shoot him down he won't be able to handle it eight percent life he's tick eating uh with the server ticks that's well done mount is off charge connects this might be it this might be it one execute he's trying to dodge that trap really crafty play there from jmd another fap from big traps could be a fap to answer with jmd is he gonna pop it maybe not execute is all it's going to take here another scatter if this resists he said oh oh my gosh that's going to be it oh the concussive stuff brock no way oh my gosh what is this dual man holy what is this dual this is insane complete insanity dude and he is back over 20 percent he is out of execute range there's another scatter let me get faint death trap there it is there it is we get big traps of the big trap once again aspect of the cheetah jmd is going to have to sit it i mean big traps has been on the run for minutes like jmd despite you know taking a while in this matchup must be feeling pretty good about himself it's like he hasn't had to play defensive once i don't think really he's just been vibing there's the charge with the sticky net i think oh no the sticky glue um from big traps you know that would be nice here's the bow there it is i like those strats from jmd oh the pets the zoo coming on big trap i think the peasant color is going to go a long way in this one yes the pets are going to keep them combat you know it could be great if one of the pets eats the next trap that's what jmd needs he needs pets to to eat the scatter trap another concussive product from big trap i don't think big trap has the damage to finish this or the mana um big trap would to win this big trap but after reset full mana full health i just don't know if it's going to happen the charge comes through oh man jmd he's got the skull on but he doesn't have it used yet he might have put it on there's a 30 second timer one of you use it put on an on use item to where you can't actually oh huge scatter i think he has his trap off cool that's it that's gotta be that is it finally jmd does the impossible and he avoids big trap straps at the end dude what a duel that went from that went from a duel that like i i i felt that i got to a point there i was like good lord when is this thing gonna end to that last like three minutes of that was so intense man so absolutely intense just waiting for waiting for resist we finally get the resist but then you have the stun proc on the concussive shot the proof concussive shot huge man that was uh that was insane that was a huge huge props to big traps making that thing last as long as it did and jmd as well that was a really really good performance from both of these guys phenomenal man really impressive yeah that was a great one it took a while but still a really fun duel and man i feel like the the story for this tournament is warriors just being so tanky like so tanky with all of these potions up it's like if a hunter can just sit there and tee up on a warrior the hunter's um before the warrior dies same thing with a mage and with with that amount of resistance it's like warriors can just be like sure tee off on me all day i'll wait till your room and then kill you you know like warriors just they have it they have that longevity with this rule set no absolutely dude you you you are a hundred percent right like it's uh the the ability to sustain for for a warrior with all the cooldowns all the uh all the consumables all the potions everything that's available to you in the game the warrior doesn't use mana or anything right so there's a bunch of consumes that are good for like spell casters that they don't have to worry about and a lot of those things share cooldown uh like a health and mana potion share cooldown for example so you can just focus on the things that are going to help you sustain whereas a lot of the spellcasters use their cooldown on things that focus on both so it's uh it's very very cool to see the warriors playing at a high level and uh competing toe to toe with everybody in this one i know we mentioned this yesterday but hosito has leveled four characters for this tournament the first three unfortunately died the fact that hosie is standing here today on a level 60 after three deaths with full gear is an incredible feat in itself and and same with any of these competitors this is going to be a shadow priest mere match up um hosie has a pretty big name in the pvp scene you know he's multi multi multi rank one player on retail on tbc on wrath uh he's done very well in classic as well he's just so experienced on the priest um so i don't know if if cib is any nerves going into this or anything like that but this uh expertise is certainly uh on hosito's side here cib's though he's made it here today he's level 60 has some great gear he made it through the qualifier round yesterday which is just awesome to see and we're going to see two great priests duke it out here i don't think we've seen a priest mere match up uh yet today so it's going to be kind of cool to see that one once again it might be more of a manna battle i'm curious to see if these priests are going to go all in or kind of play a bit more passive but one thing's for sure we're probably going to see a lot of dispels to start this duel off so that priests can even the playing field without all of these different buffs coming into play it looks like the um offhand skull of a penning doom is equipped there so it can break cc a lot of pets already being used and committed here from cib's before the duel even begins to kind of get that zoo ready yeah exactly i mean they're they're coming out with everything right out the gate so he engaged on him right off the bat i'm assuming to try and clean him up and that's what they're doing it's a lot of dispel spam he used a shadow reflector actually right now but uh it doesn't really amount to anything going to sleep continuing to dispel probably there it is yeah he keeps dispelling he's trying to get the dispel advantage because it's it's a race really it's a race to see who can get the most dispells off right off the right off the bat and uh from there that's one of the duel actually starts cib's now gets blanket silence by hezito and uh we're still dispelling there's a lot of bumps and a lot of bumps for both these guys doing the inner focus the mana potion we got another inner focus that comes out from cib's and now it looks like our duel actually starts it looked like that was a uh it looked like a fear resist i believe i didn't see the fear animation actually go off so uh now is one of them are the real damage starts you go there's an agm trinket opening up here it looked like a resto pot medicine pouched into a health stone cib's is doing everything he can to sustain as much as possible i must say it looked like cib's is in the driver's seat hosey using that tea to kind of uh even himself back up in this duel but cib's is doing a really really great job if cib's has a tea though now is the time to use it i don't know if he does arcane bomb look i don't know if that resisted or missed mind blast coming off and they're both very very very close duel neck and neck what a great uh duel to spectate here between these two shadow priests hosito uh around 26 cib's 41 so cib's actually in the driver's seat despite the tea this is incredible to see i i was not expecting this cib's is coming out with a very impressive performance shadow word pain is ticking down and uh the vampiric embraces up so cib's is receiving healing and shadow priest is just one of the coolest classes in classic in my opinion i have leveled one to six these these are so fun you get to get to do the damage and the healing as a support class and hosito though getting a ticker to a food and the blackout proc back to back that might be the turn he needed there to take his lead but cib's playing max range on the silence he's not gonna let that happen i'm not sure if cib's still has that tea but cib's sitting down for a drink hosito is in combat from that yeti and cib's is getting a ton of mana the yeti is being feared cib's is getting full health and full mana right now and hosie uh just sat down right now the uh mount came out from cib's he's gonna stop hosie from drinking there is quite a bit of distance and cib's using the helmet the goblin rocket element to close the gap and i think cib's came out ahead on that as well so he's just looking really good in this duel more purges coming through another blackout from hosie into an arcane bomb off the blackout which is really really well played nice five second silence coming in maybe that's what hosito needed yet the title charm too coming out from cib's but i think cib's is really on the back foot here uh i think as ito has every opportunity here to be able to finish this out cib's does have a blanket silence on him there's a shadow reflector oh my gosh the rejuven the renew hosie's got the blackout brock hosie's got this though another t for hosie just to finish off two t's in one duel cib's has eight percent life he's out of shadow form hosie has the pet advantage as well the fear is this on the pet mind plays gonna finish it off cib's falls i've gotta say that was a great duel from both shadow priests what a great showing from cib's dude i'm gonna win that at one point bro let me just say i thought cib's had it let me just say hosito used two t's both t is about 20 health and mana he's two that's about 40 health and mana that's kind of the difference for hosie hosie won from those t's really in my mind cib's played that out of his mind very well played i think with equal consumes i don't know if it would have gone that way um just just well played to cib's and hosie for finishing it off there was some really great plays from hosie coming out the blackout proc and right when he noticed that stun instantly charged up the arcane bomb in that play is what really sealed the deal for hosito jones absolutely yeah i think that blackout really opens up the ability to use that arcane bomb and let it hit and uh i want to i want to stick on the the thing with the t with sugar the being able to use that t it's it's more than just that you know 40 percent total health right like it's it's uh it's about when the healing hits that matters so much too so to your point it's it's even more valuable i think than what people see as like the health difference at the end of the duel because sometimes your your lower health in the duel and that gives the opponent an opening to really finish you off and being able to use the healing at the right time is what can make a huge difference in closing that window right and making sure that that the opportunity for you to get killed isn't there so uh yeah i think you're a hundred percent right on the t's it's a great point man like you can use it as a bait like run away pretending you're low and as soon as they overextend you like t and then health pot and your full life and you turn around on them and they're like oh no i thought you were dead um so yeah it's like using that as like uh hidden tech and the t does not share cooldown with major health potion t has its own cooldown that uh is shared with health stone from warlock and the manage him with mage i believe so it's it's kind of like on that cooldown chain so you can t and health pot without uh at the same time it shares no cooldown you can just like top yourself so pretty cool next up lock versus rogue is a fun one we have uh two of the favorite classes for this tournament um rogue is uh one of the things early on people were like oh rogue's just gonna win undead rogue and same thing with warlock i mean warlock won the last uh 2019 CDL duel tournament snuts won that as warlock and uh you know generally warlock just do really well in dueling tournaments so it's like warlock versus rogue it's about as classic as it gets yeah no 100 percent uh warlock rogue it's a uh it's this is like uh a tale as old as time style of duel i mean this is something that i think people are uh they always have a good time watching this and uh rogues having all the tools that they have at their disposal warlock's having all the tools that they have at their disposal it's uh it's cool to see like the the trading card game of like you know trading cooldowns for each other uh and in vanilla and vanilla you don't see that as often as you do in some of the later expansions like you get to uh not i'm i'm not a retail arena guy but uh czar you can speak to this a lot more where later on it's like everybody has these different like uh like everybody has like a dps cooldown everybody has a kick everybody has this so you see the trading of the cooldowns happen so often later on in vanilla uh you don't see that as much with all the classes but with warlock and rogue you have you do have that so it can be like a really interesting sort of back and forth that you get i was muted there for a second but yeah it's just one of those situations where warlocks have um the sacrifice pet they have another pet another sacrifice and it's like the warlock's trying not to get zerg down so much so that we saw snuts yesterday actually take off spell damage gear and put on defense gear put on stamina gear and put on gear to just help them live a little bit longer just be a tank against that rogue and the rogue is one of those classes that you can just make other class not play like forever we have cheap shot kidney gouge blind sap magic dust do it all again prep do it all again like you know so you can just have another class not play for minutes the warlock's just trying to tank all the damage sack all the damage wait for the rogue's cooldowns to kind of fade and then take them out we have death coil which is one of the biggest defensive cooldowns for the warlock the death coil not only is a hard cc meaning it can't heartbeat break it can't break the damage it like like a fear or polymorph can that death coil is also going to heal the warlock and and that's why that death coil is so important from that death coils instant cast as well so you can death coil into a fear that's not only going to heal you hard cc them but then you can continue your cc chain and so the warlock has those tools against the tools the rogue and not sure what we're waiting on here the the warlock rogue dual they ran up back to the hill maybe there is something that we're waiting on maybe we can hear from admins here in a second um not i'm pretty excited for this one yeah no i think i think this is gonna be a great one and i love that i love you breaking it down like that for the viewers especially because we probably have a lot of people watching who uh they're not necessarily wow players there's a whole lot of people in the audience right now who maybe they're new to classic they're new to wow and they uh they might not know uh all these abilities like some other people do so it's like uh it's good to have people be able to break it down and explain to them what we're talking about right because we'll we'll say things like heartbeat resist or whatever go home is heartbeat resist like which is it's second nature to somebody who's been playing for 10 15 years 20 years but uh for a lot of people that are new and that's something that i think people gotta realize is there's always going to be new players you might not think there is but there's always new players coming to wow and uh kind of welcoming those people in the community and and being positive towards them and being welcome to them is uh a pretty important thing i think so yeah dude it's hilarious like a lot of these uh words that jargon being used we get that korean stuff there i don't even realize we're saying it right as as veteran wow players i remember my dad would be in my room when i was a kid playing wow and i'm like full polyhealer and he's like what language are you speaking what what does any of this mean and i'm like it's a full as in not half or not quarter or not fully dr'd polymorph on the healer dad obviously but we have the we have the war loggers the druid on this next match up uh there might be some connection issues with the uh other competitors so we're we're just moving on um and this is a great match up here that shrew is going to be opening up with that thorium grenade it looks like it misses and we have the death coil landing the insects swarm and moonfire kind of ticking them down arcane bomb will it connect yes it does that's impressive nice aim there from four and he's pretty happy with that opener yeah absolutely i i i think what we're going to be able to see here we're going to what we're going to want to see here is uh i think the warlock is going to want to be close and stay stay close to the druids the druid can't separate and really take uh take advantage of the distance between the uh him and the warlock being able to kill the pad or anything like that i don't know if the druid is going to want to kill the pet here i really wish chance was here to be able to kind of speak to that a little bit better but uh i i do expect to see the warlock try and play it a little bit closer uh outside of trying to go for a reset and trying to keep his health and mana up which he's doing right now actually yeah that was well played the the moonfire like one second left so it did interrupt that bandage stick unfortunately but i mean look at four's hp and mana it doesn't even look close arzon uh does get a nature swiftness crit back to full life with the healing touch but he's down to 35 percent mana i mean if you're four you're you're feeling pretty good here you get the full fear drink it immediately from arzon to reply with a corruption the agony the emulates are ticking down the arcane bomb again off a cooldown i love this play from four just using those bombs on cooldown to mana drain arzon i mean what do you do if you're arzon you're gonna need consumables you're uh there's an intervate great maybe the pet can purge it does he doesn't get purged i think it might have got purged from the pet on the on the devour it might have gotten devoured yeah it looks like yeah because it's made of them it's made of them took up yeah wow that's huge that's massive yeah so another fear being casted from four arzon really on the back but i mean he already was but the intervate looks like it got devoured from the fel hunter and arzon is just fully feared four's just chasing him down looking for blood here another devour coming out on cooldown i don't see a world where arzon turns this around i really don't he's too low there's a t that's good that's a consumable that that we were talking about earlier that gives health and mana off of a separate cooldown than potion arzon trying to get more debuffs and buffs up with the nogginfog or elixir just spamming those low rank things arzon does have 63% mana now a little bit of mana to work with but there's like a zero pressure coming out from arzon and yeah you have the insect swarm in the moonfires ticking down four but that's that's not going to be anything that the world i can't handle with health stones with potions with death coil heals with drain lives so i feel like four isn't worried at all he's just pedal to the metal on arzon yeah and that's exactly what we're talking about earlier is seeing him try and make sure that arzon doesn't separate and this might be it for him man i if you can get this regrowth off it might be able to delay the inevitable but i don't see a world where arzon comes back from the current situation he's hanging on barely the arcane bomb misses so it's not quite enough to finish just yet he's redotting him up putting up the mla it's he's got the corruption ticking he's got the curts of agony ticking and that alongside the pet he's doing a nature's grasp to see if he can stop the pet from following him but it's just not gonna be enough and arzon is finished oh seven another death another death another one gone fours advances to the next round congratulations fours really really good play by fours i think he i think he did a phenomenal job of making sure that arzon really never got a chance to to separate really got a chance to go away so i like watching casters i think for new wow players especially you see a caster and you you play a caster and it's like oh i'm a mage i'm supposed to stand over there and they're supposed to be over there right or i play this yeah it's like that's not how in pvp dude like these guys run in and xar you can attest to this dude it's full blazing blinkin frost nova cone of cold the whole nine yards like it's it's very uh it's a very different play style than what would it be intuitive to uh to people who aren't familiar with it i know this goes without saying to guys but i just kind of forgot and re remembered so i want to mention it again this is indeed a makara tournament every time someone loses a duel they are dead on your screen they are like all of their hundreds of hours gone down the drain dead every single duel and that's just so epic to see and uh yeah thank you to all the competitors taking the time to level up and gear up and doing that it's just yeah every every time it's like it's almost like we're numb to it because we've watched so many duels like we've seen like 20 duels or whatever today and it's like yeah okay he lost he won no they're dead dude they're cold husk of a human being just like oh he's dead who cares next duel next duel that's why see that's why we did this is a horde tournament a lot of people don't know this we did this is a horde tournament because see we play alliance means are you so like you know we're not we're not animals okay these horde players the horde are going to kill each other for sport we're not going to do that okay that's the thing we oh my gosh that opener that opener was crazy so vatochi goes in with the goblin rock and elm but it gets scattered mid helm to get so he got interrupted so vatochi never got his like gap closer he was looking for and peace is going to be able to maintain distance poison elixir cleanse there from vatochi well done and the fact to combo it getting into the dead zone in a big shatter combos coming out frost nova gets trinketed from peas to stop the shatter combo and vatochi the mage is looking to kind of disrupt the the frost resistance potion here from peas to the frost potion scatter fain death trap combo coming out from peace if i was vatochi oh it gets resisted great that's really good for vatochi frost nova gets resisted as well polymorph coming through and this is a pretty good opener for the mage we we could go for an early evocate here and he does the pets though are going to knock him back him a man a shield could have been okay there to stop the knockback we have the frost bolt being casted here big conic called the follow mages he's vatochi explains perfect this is exactly what you want to do run in on the hunter stay dead zone sticky glue jump all over him if you let the hunter get away it's over it's over like you there's no you can do frost reflector from peace he knows that he's trying to stop as much damage as possible pets are everywhere man we got barabs we got the yeti we have the hunter pet trap comes out in size block from vatochi as he should do peace finally uses the goblin rock and helm to disengage here gets max distance does look like the diminish return is on from the trap vatochi gets viper stung insta dispel on the viper sting well played and vatochi blinks in yeah no this is this is great to see from vatochi i mean peace blade normally a paladin player picking up hunter for this tournament it's very cool to see him uh him come in and being able to compete in the finals here vatochi is a uh he's a multi rank one isn't he in retail and he just started playing classic not too long ago i i don't know if he's a rank one i think he might be a gladiator talk like high level retail player decided to try out classic and he actually got world first 60 in hard core which is a very impressive fee the arcane bomb gets blocked but vatochi still own well there you go yeah i think uh i think vatochi losing the mana battle here is uh is pretty rough peace blade is doing a great job of maintaining its distance and uh i mean he gets he gets uh goblin rocket helm here i don't know if he's gonna get a heartbeat i mean this is lasting a little bit oh it does heartbeat resist scatter trap and this is looking kind of bad for vatochi peace is a gamer man and like if he's not doesn't mean a hunter i wouldn't have never known i would have think i thought peace has been playing a hunter for years he's he's kiting well it's using his toolkit well i would have never known i'm really impressed here with peace i think uh unfortunately for for vatochi like that was a big shatter combo right not really it just resists like one frostbolt resists kona cold doesn't crit vatochi's doing almost no damage in the burst windows where he should be like one-shotting the hunter and once again i sound like a broken record but that's what casters have to deal with this in this tournament with so many items not being banned like there's basically no rules in this tournament you just show up in fight vatochi no ice blocks left low on health low on mana at this point peace could maybe just finish him off with the melee melee yeah that might be what he does another flask coming out from vatochi doesn't want to die the damage coming another ice barrier so vatochi has a little bit of health to work with another flask there's three flasks available per day my friends and that was two of them vatochi bleaks blinked the wrong way he's gonna surely fall and he does in a second area there goes vatochi he's played let's go paladin brother let's do this well like that was really impressive from peace she's really gamer man he's a gamer he's uh he's like he plays a lot of rad he plays he's like me he does like all the paladin stuff so uh so yeah peace is uh uh peace is a uh much much better hunter than i would be that's for sure but uh he's he's like a big paladin fan so i'm really happy to see peace played do well so that's uh that's big time he's a fellow crusader is that somebody else who's in my guild and vanilla so oh man that's yeah i'm i'm super impressed if you never told me that i would have been like oh yeah this guy has mastered hunt over many years you know looks like he was prepared um we have a couple matchups we have that warlock rogue matchup that we might be getting back to i know we have snuts versus that mage we might be getting back to and cheila versus cheerios looks like it might be up next uh the cheila cheerios matchup very big very big right this is uh one of those swing matches for the whole tournament uh so to speak because cheila is one of the best warriors in terms of rankings in this tournament and he's undead meaning cheila is the warlock killer every warlock is scared to fight cheila cheerios fighting cheila first round today is just not what cheerios wanted to wake up to in terms of news here so it's kind of unfortunate i was looking i was watching snuts stream last night snuts was saying cheila is kind of like the number one person he's looking out for uh so cheila is the warlock slayer well see i mean it doesn't mean he's going to win against cheerios cheerios is an incredible warlock very prepared this could be a very close duel one way or the other um but if cheila makes it through this bracket um and goes against snuts like that's another crazy duel that we could see curious to see what cheerios is going to bring out here absolutely and cheila gets the open here he opens up with a charge and he is getting there he's trying to get seduced immediately they're trying to seduce him but no he's getting those crossbow shots in throwing the grenade to stop the pet i wonder if he's going to go kill it and he does he goes to kill the succubus and then he's going to go tee off we get a fell down for the void walker getting that void walker ready to sacrifice for the absorb shield that absorb shield being really really powerful against war warriors because it stops them from generating any rage whenever their attacks get absorbed jaylock come back in he gets uh he does the goblin rocket helm to close the gap and he gets the net backfire on cheerios which is absolutely massive that is an 18 second i believe net on cheerios cheerios cannot kite because cheerios try to cast the net and it backfired so they are both netted on top of each other right now so he gets full go he gets to fear right here but it probably isn't going to matter because i believe he has an out he does he has will of the forsaken into an intercept from jailaw laying into him that net backfire was so huge and that might have been the turning point in this whole thing he is shadow locked he can't cast a fear he can't cast a drain life the pet is back in range i expect him to sack it anytime here he is silenced are we going to see a sack we do there is the pet sacrifice trying to cast a fear without any spell push back the pommel is back up the pommel is used the fear is blocked goes for the steering pain tries to cast another fear jailaw does not get hit by it and this is his chance to finish right here this is textbook from jailaw damn damn damn unbelievable performance by jailaw holy cow man that might have been unreal dude one of the biggest turning points of today we have jailaw taking out cheerios which means like here is an incredible warlock given there was maybe some rng things that play with the the backfire but jailaw looked good there man if i was snuts i would be a little worried if you look at the bracket jailaw next is going to be against peace the hunter if i was snuts i'd be like peace take him out for me man i don't want to fight jailaw because dude jailaw could take out peace could take out snuts could make a run up and then all of a sudden yeah man that's that's crazy i was really looking forward to that one player man jailaw is a great player i mean i remember peeping against him ranking against him jailaw is a very good warrior so it's it's cool to see him do well he's he's competing tournaments and stuff before so yeah good to see you man for sure good to see and we're back to nz versus investors rogue lock duel from earlier the connection issues are probably resolved about now the magic resistance potion used increases all resistance by 50 i believe something like that and makes it really hard for the warlock to actually land anything against the rogue it does share a cool down with potions meaning there's no phaps for two minutes health potions for two minutes and it only lasts three minutes i believe so nz popping that at pretty good time there but the dual flag needs to go down because that's ticking also the pets from investors are ticking as well so both players are probably like go go go go you know start the duel rogue goes in stealth flag has been dropped and we've seen i believe we've seen this dual go both ways and this is another good one where it's uh you know i don't know if i would call it favored one way or the other but i know a warlock isn't like excited to duel an undead rogue as they would be something else and a sapper coming out immediately i kind of like that because it's like if you use the sapper early there's no chance for it to just kill you you can kind of see the damage that it's going to do it doesn't do much full kidney shot the death coil was reflecting with a shadow reflector big play there from nz title charm coming in from investors into the full fear no this is absolutely massive i mean this is this is a very very aggressive duel you see nsz he gets gnome netted ends up vanishing it coming out reopening with a cheap shot let's see if he falls that up he's got a gouge he has combo points as you go full kidney he goes full kidney into it he's going to be able to lay into him but he doesn't really do any damage here gets the blind out let's see if he does anything to the pet he doesn't do anything to the pet i don't know how many combo points he has up here instead he tries to vanish and he's going to try and re-engage here hellfire doesn't get hit by the hellfire opens up with a cheap shot gouge he's got the combo points does he go into a full kidney he does full six second kidney shot ends up getting sent out to a fear i'm not sure what that fear was oh it was oh it was the death mist proc very good thank you camera man very good camera man owns two piece or that death mist uh yeah four piece excuse me prox the second set bonus prox huge huge huge huge turn around there for infester but let's see if he can keep it up pets about to die he's going to have to sacrifice soon the arcane bomb comes out he does get the pet sack even while silence because it's not his ability the void walker coming out he fakes the kick on the void walker well played from both of these guys i'm really impressed drain life being channeled nc on the back foot infester going to the full blind but those dots are going to tick nz is going to put himself into a worse and worse position the longer this blind goes on trying to wait out that uh shield after the blind he goes into the goblin rocket only just waiting out to shield it's 30 seconds of of wait time here cross cc goug and goblin rocket held into the bandage well played from nz he does more damage after the shield fades and infesters have 40% life we're waiting for a big crit to come here kidney probably soon another health potion from both players death coil though putting infesters ahead life tab to gain the man unnecessary to finish the job full fear coming out nz must be pretty scared to will for sake and it's not going to be enough there's nothing he can do at this point the dots are going to tick infesters coming out ahead and nz dodgeball what a dual man jeez unbelievable unbelievable finish dude i a i thought nz s had it dude i thought i thought nz had it for for like that whole like middle portion of the dwellers like damn i think he's actually got this here but fester turns it back around and finishes getting that death coil off how about that shadow uh that the shadow reflector on the death coil that was so sick man bro if you're the rogue nz and you reflect a coil and still lose i'd be like oh come on i know you must be pretty happy with that like nz if you're watching you must be happy with that performance you that was a good dual from both ends it was back and forth plays were being made i was yeah that was a great dual spectator watch i i hope he's not too upset with that one that was great yeah we have this is one of those times where look where we're in the finals and i believe was that a i don't think that was our last match of round one but that was all of round one so we're taking a look at the bracket now and uh we're looking at the entirety of the bracket now to see where we are so you can see right there we are going to go with uh lt versus ziko next dude that first round was a long that was uh that was a long long long first round but we got ziko and lt coming up right here i can't wait to see the start of round two i can't wait to see this dual like we saw mage versus hunter from the tochi and it seemed hard the dual started i wonder if ziko is any hidden tech title charm sheep opener to close the gap he's gonna go for the pet kill i really like it so it's gonna be a nova shatter it's gonna be frostbolt fire blast uh kona cold another frostbolt another frostbite aren't you great aren't you here from ziko and a resheep in case the heart beat comes out uh nice and safe there from ziko and now ziko is gonna kill the uh chicken he's killing all the pets kona cold there's a yeti there's still one more pet to go and he kills the yeti too i think another nova coming out uh the pet eats the trap from ziko what a play ziko uh is aware of that frost reflector doesn't cast into it kona cold will not be reflected uh because it's aoe another frostbite proc from ziko and this is looking really good from ziko i love the pet kill normally in the metagame it's too slow all the arcade bomb gets blanked ziko is an absolute legend and he's showing you guys why magic dust connects on the lt and ziko with an early evo cake closing the gap i really love ziko's gameplay here he slows it down sheeps the hunter with the title charm sheep swaps the trinkets after that kills the pet opens up on the lt now lt still full life but no pet to help him out here beautiful feigned death the pseudo interrupt the frostbilt being casted there lt just stuck in the dead zone forever forced to use the goblin rock and elm ziko instantly replies to the ice block another frost nova coming out on the cold snap ziko's going all in here with the arcane explosions it's a desperate move for more damage another viper staying ziko's aware takes it off instantly with the elixir blinks on top of lt kona cold connects there's another wing clip to respond ziko's in the driver seat this entire duel what a showing here from the big z kona cold keeping lt slowed at bay mechanical chicken and the fab helping lt a little bit ziko once again using the elixir and uses the helm to close the gap once again not only that he's getting to get the opportunity to wait the fab out the free action potion is ticking away it's a two minute cooldown it lasts for 30 seconds so he gets that helmet off and do the fact that this has not heartbeat resisted for this long this is the best rng in the world perfect timing the fat falls off right after the frost bolt everything is in ziko's favor in this duel this is absolutely phenomenal another magic does in the sleep ziko is so aware of these viper stings he's not letting them tick all like zero viper sting value if anything it's helping ziko that he's using viper stings because it's wasting damage that could have been used in other global ziko looking like an absolute professional as he is the sixth demon bag and the arena grand master to finish it off ziko is just going to stick this fight him head to head here casting the frost bolts there's nothing lt can do fame death he's not dead yet there's another flask it's going to be a little bit of health from that titan ziko completely tapped but he could finish him off with wands at this point if he wants to and that's what it looks like he will do ten percent life here from lt maybe another scatter trap ziko might have another ice block rank one cone of cold just for the slow ziko staying on top of them finishing them off with the wands revived panel think that's going to be the move there who really knows counterspell comes out though three percent lt oh no what a performance from ziko scatter trap though it's a block don't worry i'm made to finish it off and misses another wand viper sting there it is there's like 30 seconds left dual was just like two guys just like just exhausted trying to smack each other what a dual man dude ziko not only uh not only did uh uh ziko play that perfectly but the the orange he had like the the perfect like the goblin rocket helm like not heartbeat resisting for like the entire fap essentially was insane unreal dude unreal yeah ziko that was like a master class mage hunter master class like you could you could put that uh in a textbook you know what i mean and have people review that footage on exactly how to play the match up ziko excellent play there i wouldn't expect anything else it's not like i'm surprised it was just cool to see it it's like yeah he can do that that ziko next up we have a shaman mirror we got cdoo versus new jack cdoo playing in hands big two hander arcanite reaper fully enchanted and ready to go that's the stadman his opponent new jack i believe he's playing the enhancer ellie i can't quite remember uh the spec here we'll know in just a second looks like it might be an elemental shaman with the spell hit fan thawks ash new jack also looks pretty darn ready to go ice reflector on i wonder maybe to reflect a frost shock maybe that's a big deal in the shaman match up a lot of resistances here shell necklace from stratt live probably means he is playing more of a caster focus build and the shaman match up enhance versus ellie i don't know if we have seen too much of this yet so it'll be kind of cool sure stadman is going to be running a new jack new jack attempting to kite look at all those totems down by the flags so many of them yeah i mean this is like uh i mean this looks like the shaman training area right here you got enhance you got ellie you got a billion totems so you even got a macara flag which looks like i mean it's like a how come all the macara flags or oh i guess macara is a horde thing isn't it so yeah i was gonna say why is it a horde theme i was like oh yeah more okay big open with it with a rocket helm uh with a purge spam right here cdu does get the leg up on the first rocket helm i expect new jacks to try and get the opportunity to do the same be able to spam those purges try and clean all the buffs off as much as possible comes in with a storm strike and gets to chase him down frost shocking him and trying to lay into him as much as possible new jacks is going to want to try and get the opportunity i mean this is an ellie shaman so we all know how ellie shaman's work they want to set up for that big massive chain lightning so a lot of this actually has to do with the consumables in this matchup shaman versus shaman what do you want to use your potions on are you going to be using a nature protection potion or are you going to be using something for your health and mana or otherwise so uh that's uh that's a lot of what we're going to get to see here obviously for seidu that's going to make a bigger impact nature protection makes a bigger impact huge huge rocket helm to stop the arcane bomb as well get in the first aid get in a reset seidu is almost out of mana and new jacks is sitting at 40 percent mana he's going to go for some heals here pop a mana potion and let's see if he tries to heal no he's not risking a heartbeat trying to go for the big dam and seidu comes back with the the uh with a t to try and get his mana and health up seidu is by nature going to have less mana and more problems with his mana in general because he's playing an enhanced shaman versus an elemental shaman uh because his gear is not designed for that he doesn't have as much intellect so seidu really has to take an opportunity to press here whenever he gets those opportunities as you see he's been doing and uh he takes the opportunity now to try and reset a little bit so uh new jacks is low on mana we'll see if seidu actually presses off of this maybe get some mana each tick of mana that he drinks each tick of water that he has is a higher percentage of his mana than new jacks's mana and that's because his mana pool is so much smaller so seidu is coming in he's pressing new jacks is very very low he's not going to have the opportunity to uh to to do some damage you're probably going to see him down ranking some heals and try and rely on shocks and totems to do as much damage as he possibly can gets the frost shock up on seidu right now and going for that chain lightning with uh might have been a rank one chain lightning i believe because he had so such little mana it gets grounded and seidu is trying to press him gets the storm strike and here's his opportunity and it's there seidu takes the win takes down new jack and goes on to the next round seidu dude we get to watch seidu versus ziko in the next round because right because ziko beat the hunter seidu beat the shaman we're gonna see ziko versus seidu that's gonna be great dude yeah yeah that'll be so fun beautiful dude that's crazy because man that this very well could have been an entirely different i mean this could have been that that ziko savics rematch so either way either way this could have been uh this this was going to be a big match up coming up in the next round with uh ziko and seidu uh man i uh i really wonder what's going to happen here man ziko seidu is going to be a uh a duel for the ages that's for sure yeah i must say it's it's a little mage favored unfortunately for seidu's and fighting is uphill battle today man against rogue and then ellie and now mage seidu's probably like come on man yeah um but it'll still be a fun one nominal player these that ever so long that i feel like we're going to get the best showing that we possibly yeah against a mage yep and i think that's gonna be really fun to watch i completely agree yeah if it's if it's mage versus shaman we get ziko versus seidu what uh what a treat we have bobka versus mezz speaking of treats hunter versus rogue bob got a great showing against the last hunter um i believe uh in round one moving on to the second round mezz awc champion multi rank one one of the players with the most amount of gladiator title titles in the entire game i don't think he needs much of an introduction bobka classic andy through and through rank one player gladiator throughout tbc and wrath on the classic relaunch uh plays a lot of uh classic era so experience so good decides to go in at the frost reflector uh opener that we saw ps hero do earlier today with the magic dust frost reflector eat the trap and then open up with the gouge evasion i really like it looks like mezz trying to use skull impending doom that was bobka skull impending doom for the impending scatter to land but there was no scatter there well played on mezz on the hold vanish comes out for the sticky glue scatter to reply from mezz looks like bobka and mezz going toe to toe for now blind connects mezz is sitting it for the time being for robs beating up that chicken poor chicken it's coming back to bobka bandage ticks for a few seconds there the heartbeat might have broken that a little soon net inside of the flare bobka's in a tough spot with the vanish because the flare will instantly break the vanish there's a trap he's avoiding it quite nicely however mezz kiting around that trap using it as some pseudo line of sight like a pillar something like that second blind comes through is a very close duel as found yeah i mean this is uh this is going to be like this i think the entire way through i have no idea how it's going to pan out let's see if you can actually avoid that trap you got two flares down uh like right after another to uh to try and keep bobka from being able to vanish keep him from reopening on him now he will have that opportunity uh outside of flair but uh let's see if mezz is going to be able to stick it to him keep him uh keep him out of uh keep him without an opportunity to be able to reopen because bobka does it just about as good as anybody and this this is what mezz wants right like that was bobka's done two blinds two vanishes bobka unfortunately has nothing left really i mean yeah there's nades there's consumables but in terms of rogue cooldowns bobka's kind of out of cooldowns mezz made it through the ring of fire so to speak and this is the other end it's pretty hunter-favored there's bobka connecting but we're going to have a scatter trap very soon here and once that scatter trap comes through mezz will gain clip just hit two that's the r and g we're looking for for mezz bobka must be pretty upset because of shot right after the improved wing clip bobka with the stings i don't know how he's going to make it out mezz looking like an absolute pro bobka using the flask it's just nothing left another concussive shot and a t to reply from bobka but what are you going to do even if you reconnect to mezz he still 70% life bobka has zero cooldowns left i think mezz might have done it bobka falls and mezz will move forward wow unbelievable showing from bobka in this tournament this week or these two days i should say bobka he's done a phenomenal job but mezz bests him right there i mean mezz played that pretty much as well as you possibly could have i mean not even pretty much i think i don't know if there's a single thing mezz could have done better he didn't allow bobka to to reset on him he shut him out of everything every single cooldown that bobka used there was an answer for it immediately immediately had an answer for everything and that's that's something that uh i mean when you're when you're a player like mezz at at that level right you know you're a blizzcon guy everything that's that's huge that's big time uh almost as big time as otknetwork.com merch uh he yeah

big shout out to raider i o for handling the back end of this whole thing so big shout out to them and of course our title sponsor star four systems which uh we'll talk about a little bit i think this dual is starting here though so yeah this tournament would not happen without the sponsors guys that everyone in the back end the admins the volunteers as fondon i are just we we have the easy job we're just here and spectating and watching the game so a shout to everyone making this event possible next match out we have another hunter v rogue bean versus spicy and uh we've seen a couple of these now and hunters seem to be doing pretty well although we saw a rogue win in the first round spicy not opting for a cheeky opener here just goes in pops the skull of a petting doom to try to break a a scatter coming in doesn't quite get it though bean too experienced to scatter into that skull there scatters a bit late goes for the faint death trap skull now used from spicy bean getting some distance big aim shot there's the hunter's mark and the flair and the slows the fax being used before the concussive shot lands though and the vanish so spicy is going to close a little bit of a distance but the hunter's mark player yeah really great flair the the goblin rocket helmet from bean ceasing spicy though on the gap close the fax is already over that was a quick 30 seconds it's probably what spicy is feeling too sprint comes through it's the last sprint i think there's a blind advantage there's an evasion oh goblin rocket home from spicy and he gets back on top of being being no 80% live pets doing work there's a gouge cross cc from spicy in the bandage really well done vanish that's a second vanish from spicy and that's the re-opener oh man instant reply from bean these guys have thought all of this through if this happens this is what i'm going to do if this happens this is what i'm going to do and that's the fast reflexes that we're seeing here from bean he's thought all of this through right when the blind hits there's already a plan right when the vanish hits there's already a plan and we're seeing that today the preparation is paid off for being here we have that no mish harm prevention belt from being just putting up a pseudo shield form as well not a pseudo shield an actual shield spicy is getting very low this is the last big cool down from spicy the rogue no bandage it's on cool down here and the full blind re-stealth the pet was cc'd so doesn't quite get to land with a big flare into another scatter trap and bean isn't working with much man i can cussive shot proc to finish and i don't know if there's much spicy can do the nade he's gonna do a little bit of damage finish him off four percent of life being finishing it off classy to boom arrow to the face spicy goes down and bean moves on and once again guys we're gonna have some fun matchups coming up here pretty soon and we're gonna have bean versus mezz and oh that's gonna be a good one yeah it is man that that last matchup was great man brother bean he's uh he's coming in in the clutch he did a fantastic job there man great place one of the flare in the middle of that duel whenever he was coming to re-engage he put that flare down right whenever he was about to re-stealth and then he put in uh he was able to get that flare out spamming it whenever he was whenever he was blinded so spicy unfortunately did not come back in and i thought he was gonna sap him there but uh he he gave him just that little window of opening and and uh oh apparently oh i'm hearing it was he got stun resisted he got orc stun resistant so he went for it but uh unfortunately he uh he didn't have time to to try it again after he got resisted so uh yeah big play big play orc racial coming in the clutch big time so congrats to uh to bean moving on and we've got a mirror in the next round mezz versus bean so that'll be uh that'll be fun yep that will be there's oh man mezz and bean it's just gonna be great we have sots versus mad knocks coming up pretty soon here as well sots maybe not as big of a name but bro washing his last duel i'm a sots fan out of nowhere like this guy's five no he's six no so far in his duels um you know it's kind of cool whoever wins this is basically uh no losses right it's i mean a single illumination it's it's macara which is pretty rad but sots versus the warlock mad knocks and it's a mana battle man it's a mana battle uh we have trained mana we have uh mana burn from the priest and we've seen this matchup go both ways it feels like the warlocks that were generally doing pretty well into the priest and and i think that's the way it's supposed to go so we'll see if sots can uh outplay himself to a win or if mad knocks it's gonna just crush it as the warlock yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be fun to see we've seen we've seen a fair bit of warlock shadow priest in this tournament haven't we yeah we've seen a lot of rogues we've seen a lot of uh hunters we've seen a lot of warlocks we've seen you know we haven't seen like that many warriors but the warriors that have shown up really have shown up and it's really the top of eight class and that class distribution is pretty even and uh so here we go we have an open here sots came in uh trying to go and he's he's probably gonna try and dispel spam here but i think he's waiting for the right opportunity to do so he drops the blanket silence goes into a fear get stopped title charm going into an arcane bomb mana burn so he's probably going with the strategy of trying to burn mad knocks mana as much as possible and he's doing a phenomenal job look at that he's at thirty three percent mana already mad knocks dropping the curse of tongues and it's making a huge impact on sots while he's feared away uh is that fierce active it is and he's coming back in that ui is updating he's coming back in following him in mad knocks is going to want to reset he's life tapping and using a medicine pouch to get his health back up and his mana at the same time uh i really really like sots rat of going in with a mana burn yeah that's huge and put mad knocks on the back foot immediately right there we got another big mana burn in and mad knocks is having to burn all of his consumes to life tap and to heal up and those cooldowns are going to add up so yeah this is like the new tech we haven't seen any shadow priests really utilize mana burn into warlock normally the shadow priests warlock matchups the warlock is trained manning the shadow priests just doing damage and sots is like you know what two can play this game you know like two can play this game let me mana burn you and see how it goes and i really like it from sots sots has that mana advantage and not gonna have the ability to life tap but sots might have the long plan of like let me just keep mana burning this guy so he is forced to life tap and i'll kill him through his own life taps and just make sure he stays um or you have to life tap and then you'll eventually die looks like it's panning out decently for sots um but mad knocks is warlock there's a lot of cool downs to get through that fell hunter is going to be purging and with devour you have so much damage coming through you have the ability to you know hellstone and uh life tap with that hellstone you have the ability to major healing potion and then life tap more so it's hard like warlocks to some degree have like this infinite mana pool where you can tap and then drain life and then tap and then drain life and now you're you're pretty much uh sustaining yourself forever and we have the first aid coming up from mad knocks and that first aid is going to allow them to tap more sots though in the meantime gets another tick or two of shrink and he looks like he's it back up to 80 percent health 60 percent mana silence comes through into the full fear will it forsaken right away from mad knocks arcane bomb will it land looks like it uh did that land the coil might have interrupted it full fear comes out from sots will it forsaken um on the fear sots is in a world of hurt here he is managed to work with but shadow priest are one of those unique classes where it's like you don't want to come out of shadow form to heal but sometimes you just have to there's the major healing part of the life tap drain life is exactly we're just talking about sots going to the spell like what are you gonna do it's gonna be enough flasks in the clutch he's back up to 18 percent life but there's no man to work with this does not look good for sots one or two more ticks of damage another flask there's only two or three flasks allowed per day and sots that was two of them you can maybe use one more that's the last one flask and mana pot he's a little bit of mana to work with but it's not going to be enough he's at one percent there's a shield but it's going to break and sots is going to fall mad knocks really well done really really well done great performance by sot i think that was uh that was great insights are you about the uh uh the ability to counteract the the mana burn i think it worked out really well at the beginning but he just wasn't able to sustain it he had to over commit and uh and it didn't work out for him because he was able to sustain out sustain it so uh great point there great great great play by mad knocks being able to uh withstand the barrage of the mana burns and the uh the different ways to try and get rid of you with arcane bomb and everything else so uh great job great performance by mad knocks and i i think it was it's been a great performance all tournament from sot as well so uh look we're getting to that point in the tournament we're in the last few rounds you know and it's not this isn't like a double elimination you know a lot of tournaments this is a single elimination when you die you are dead best of one everything so i saw a few people in the chat maybe not today but like leading up to the tournament of like is it going to be double elims are i'm like this is a makara tournament just for everybody from tuning in from home once you're dead you're dead your character is gone you have to restart at level one and so these are all best of ones because of that nature of the makara's we have another shadow freeze versus warlock here dakata versus uh gripping i mean if it looks anything like the last duel as fan i i think the warlock is is just looks favored in this like it's not like it it looks like super one sided at first but a minute or two in it's like dude that's how are you gonna come back over time yeah just saying that the warlocks kit kind of just the system the world brings the table like their their kid is just huge so so you have them come in here and actually the warlock is starting with the drain manna even though he has such low mana right now he's going with the drain mana strat uh trying to drain dakata's mana because i i do agree i think that the what we've seen so far in this tournament the shadow priests whenever they run out of mana they are pretty much done for mobility is a huge issue for them it's hard for them to get away it's hard for them to chase people so they need to stick to their target as closely as possible gripping is going in with the plan of hey i'm going to beat him at his own game i'm going to drain his mana if i'm draining his mana i'm i'm absorbing mana for myself and he is not going to be able to burn me on top of that so uh good strat from gripping coming and uh i it's it's working out great so far working out beautifully dakata coming in with a mind blast trying to lay into him gripping actually going for the shadow reflector going for the shadow fleck and we got a flea fear going out on gripping right now and dakata is trying to mindflame trying to get his damage out as much as possible i think dakata realizes that he is running out of time and he needs to try and make a play if he can misses the grenade the arcade bomb comes in and he actually got stunned himself earlier on that shadow reflector and it is over that shadow reflector ended up backfiring for him so bad or so unfortunately i guess but uh yeah that's uh that's great so whenever you uh whenever you got the blackout procket end up hitting him so those final moments were just like hard to watch like gripping was already really far ahead and he just does some dirty by chucking the arcane bomb and once it's in the air it's like oh you got to look away this this freeze is just screwed man he's no man of no health andy silence and then the damage ended up killing like add insult to injury that was a tough position to p in and i guess we can kind of confidently say that the warlocks do pretty well in in that match up i mean she's next up though on that on the next bracket we have the warlock me or madnox versus gripping and that'll be fun to watch once we get to round three for now though we're in round two and we have sony versus rocket man it's gonna be a great duel great duel sony needs no introduction uh rocket man is perplexity perplexity is a classic era og also rank one uh tbc year like just really really experience rogue i don't know if we've seen a rogue take out a warrior at least if we have not very frequently warriors have been crushing it in this tournament with this rule set against rogues because of the elixir of poison resistance the rogues are having a hard time kiting warriors out and when a rogue and a warrior go head to head the warrior generally wins so how does the rogue win then well the rogue would kite with poisons right crippling poison run away don't kind of dead zone the warrior don't want to get intercepted but don't fight too close and then restelf and then open up and then crippling kite but you can't do that if you remove the poison uh slow from crippling and that's why we've seen rogues really fall here in this match up yeah no hundred percent i think we uh i think we're probably gonna see more of the same here i wouldn't expect uh to see to see anything less but both of these guys are at the top of their class they're both unbelievable players and uh it's gonna be very fun to see sony is a uh og uh burning crusade i think he's a vengeful gladiator i think it was a season three rank one that's correct yeah so he's been playing for for many years as has perp playing on uh perp playing on the private servers and stuff for many years coming in with the sap opening up sony has the draconian deflector out playing defensive to start out in case he gets stun locked and trying to mitigate as much damage as possible sony turning around with an intercept getting his bleeds up getting kidney shoted by perp perp goes and he drops the blind on him there's no dots or anything ticking on sony this gives him the opportunity to kill the pat and hopefully reset that's what he is trying to do he's trying to kill the pat we haven't seen that from all the rogues but some of the rogues have tried to kill the pat and reset here uh sony putting on his mount or getting on his mount excuse me and trying to reengage as quickly as possible alarm a bot in hand sword and shield in hand and trying to make sure to keep his health up as much as possible i mean you mentioned this earlier man how tanky these warriors are it's actually insane it is it is absolutely insane how much damage these guys can really mitigate with all the consumes and everything on the table so i i don't believe i saw sony use a diamond flask or anything yet so that's still on the table as well and uh it's going to be big time i don't think there's any class in the game that can go head to head with a warrior in this tournament if you want to beat a warrior you're going to have to kite them out you're going to have to play the long game and you're going to have to slowly kill them but if you just if the rogue just opens up and fights the rogue will lose right so you have to be very clever on how you're going to engage in this matchup rocket man opening back up there is a rule that states we have to keep the duals going so 60 seconds is the longest you can stay in stealth if anyone was wondering vanish comes out on the sticky glue cheap shot to follow sony taking some damage finally there's the zircher stance he's trying to dead zone but does get intercepted full kidney though sony's actually taking some damage here he's down below 60% cold blood lands might be a blind after this that i believe is that the second blind i believe i think is the second blind and sony's at 60% life man 61% i mean already though that's so much of perplexity's damage and sony's at 60% life how do you finish we haven't seen often yeah but no mish death rate it's gonna be a big burst combo here hoping for some crits oh okay okay so this air before he gets rockin elm yeah the rocket home goes off i think the oh the rocket helm to follow this actually really good so that was the fear from sony will it forsaken coming out and the heartbeat break that's not what sony wanted full uh re stealth sheep shot looks like the sheep shot i believe is dr i think that was a sap that got dr'd by the rocket helm i'm pretty sure yeah that's that seems right sony down to 44% life this is the lowest we've seen a warrior against a rogue yet perplexity playing out of his mind intercept coming in though and sony's not out of this yet i mean the rogue is out of cool down 60% life here for rocket man no vanishes no blinds not much to work with there's the sheep shot he's trying to dead zone elixir poison resists and the sticky glue comes out title show counter it but it's not gonna be enough trinket comes out full kitty shot but flexing is an absolute monster for this play there's the kidney sony's at 37% live rocket man's trying to dead zone but it's not gonna be enough oh no sony's at 30% oh rocket man's gonna get executed there's the magic dust the final lifeline for rocket man that's the tuber magic resust breaks the re stealth cheap shot comes out this is very close full kidney shot coming out but rocket man 27% life dangerously close to that execute range sony getting rid of the poisons once again i'm just anything rocket man can do but sony following the 12% life sony's at 8 oh my gosh what a duel man what a duel holy hell dude i thought sony was dead that could have gone any which way that was unbelievable dude absolutely unbelievable matchup perplexity playing out of his mind and sony just barely barely holding on at the last second absolutely unbelievable performance by both of these guys unfortunately perplexity falls to vengeful gladiator sony digital and sony moves on to the next round to face the winner of our next match which will be payo versus zero g hunter or rogue that was probably my favorite dual today man what a duel i've got to say well first congratulations to sony because that was so close and so epic and just so many great plays from both players but i really have to give a shout out to perplexity as well like we haven't seen rogues take out warriors that was probably the closest uh dual we've seen where rogues going to beat a warrior and perplexity just played like there was just so many plays being made there i i need to go back and rewatch the vod of that it was it was just really well played from both sides um what a close finish i mean one more perry one more crit and anything could have changed that um yeah what a duel next up we get payo versus zero payo is such a joy to watch to watch him duel he gets really excited and passionate about each and every one and don't think he's going to be very excited or passionate to fight a hunter in his next match up yeah man payo payo's it's going to be great to watch him play against zero zero's been performing incredibly incredibly well all tournament uh so i'm excited to see how he goes up against payo here and uh i'm excited to see how payo opens up against eroji we saw what uh poshero did earlier today uh to try and counteract the flare let's see if ah okay it's doing something similar right here for uh frost reflector to walk into the trap after the sleep summons all it summons the entire zoo here uh bfa was better comes to let payo know that classic was not good bfa was better and uh we've got another rocket helm i think he's gonna try and wait out the flare but it doesn't work out for him so payo burned a lot at the beginning there to try and get the proper opener unfortunately he didn't get it but he vanishes and goes into a full kidney so we got a full kidney shot on zero zero's actually taking it right now payo's got the upper hand of for sure zero trying to lay a wing clip on him but payo is dodging everything seeing if he can get a wing clip on him however payo has a fap up so it's going to be ineffective he needs to wait this fap out with that ice trap scatter trap and he's going to drink up and try and reset the duel hopefully he can re-engage on him before payo has a chance to get out he drops the flare payo does not have the opportunity to restel gouges the pet gouges bma was better and he is going to try and close the great gap here on zeroji using whatever he needs to to remove the poisons and he's at about half health right now getting concussive shot in and payo is things are looking rough for payo from this distance yeah zero's playing this well is exactly what he wants to happen payo gets in distance of blind though and that's all you need to get that 10 yards to blind the pet is going to be moved away because i don't think zero wanted payo to slay the pet there gets the resell cheap shot though i don't know what's going on with the pet full kidney shot on the zero this is this is really good crusader proc payo doing a lot of damage into the kidney zero though i'm sure is going to have that scatter oh prep second blind from the little payo you love to see it gouges coming out on the pet once again don't know if he's going to be able to get the resell probably not first aid damage coming in scatter though from zero into another trap payo is playing this really well it's just for a rogue it's not the matchup you really are looking for hunters to yeah well i was also going to say specifically an orc hunter so because because you have all that stun resist absolutely one stone could be the difference you know win or loss and it can cut some shop frog as well more rng coming into play zero doing so much damage at the end there great performance by zero unfortunately payo falls to zero g the hunter great performance by payo this tournament really really great performance by payo and a great performance by zero g and all the rogues have been eliminated out of this tournament one of the one of the pre tournament favorites to win the tournament was rogue people keep talking about rogue but we have two rounds to go and all the rogues have now been eliminated so we'll see i'm sure there's going to be a determination of who's going to get the prize money because they were we had multiple rogues fall in the same round i don't know who's going to get the best in class prize money yet we'll find out from the admins how that's going to be determined but uh but yeah so uh congratulations to all the rogues who competed but unfortunately there will not be one of the finals dude there was more rogues correct me if i'm wrong admins but more rogues than any other class in this tournament and they're all gone and there were so many not only just i should have just say rogues we had savics we had bobka we had ps hero right we had uh perplexity we had pale like these are all big names spicy uh had a great showing as well they're all gone we even we even had i mean we talked about showback earlier show showback didn't make it showback showback another very good rogue vanis played really well nz with the uh the place against the warlock infestor like they're all they were all really good but with this rule set rogues are not coming out on top in the rule set being there are no rules it's a makara anything goes so with this with this open system maybe rogues aren't the uh dueler we thought they would be i thought maybe none that rogues take the whole thing but looks like i'm wrong we have druid versus mage and it's a hard one it's a really hard one for the mage having said that we've seen druid versus mage once today and the mage actually won so gordon uh maybe he'll go in at the different game plan here get slowed shifts out cap form again wow flayne taking a lot of damage that's furbogs medicine pouch misses the kona cold blink to follow insta uh what charges that the goblin rockin helm may be resisted but the charge worked oh no goblin rockin helm now two different charges from gordon early intervain love to see it gordon looks dominant in this match up and this is probably how the druid versus mage should look yeah this has been a this has been a huge huge start from gordon uh getting up on flayne early flayne is definitely definitely on his back heals he just gets title char
