Do not come to Superstore because Spider Tip is in the building and I will crush every single person that steps foot into this. Oh, that's bright. Are we live? Okay. We're live. That's fine. Hey, guys. Sorry you just caught me running a few games. I had to prep and maybe I shouldn't be the only one playing. We've got a lot of things going on a pretty big day ahead of us. So let's get into it. well this is so cool it's the who's who of call of duty mobile we have ferg in the building hey ferg i see noah over there this is insane hey guy we have 21 creators all under one roof from around the world to celebrate only one thing right we've got a creator tournament it's gonna get spicy in I love action and what is that? We have a gunship, this is so cool. But you guys, that means one thing and one thing only, Verdansk has arrived. We'll be right back. Hey everyone, I'm your host SpiderTiff And let me officially say, welcome to Verdansk. For over seven years, Call of Duty Mobile has been home to incredible maps, modes, and unforgettable moments. And today, we are opening a completely new chapter for Battle Royale. Verdansc, the map that defines the entire Battle Royales genre, is coming to CODM. And just in time for its seventh anniversary. Now, Verdansк alone is a huge announcement, but we're here to talk about more than just this iconic map. The seventh anniversary season is home to a much broader evolution of the CODM Battle Royale experience. So, of course, we've got some cool people on the couch joining me. We have Jeff Gullit. You've seen him on Inside CODEM. It's been a minute. He is the head of Call of Duty Mobile. Thank you so much. Good to see you again. Thanks to be here too. And we have Tony Suen, Associate Director of Gameplay, Call of Duty Mobile, happy to have you here as well. Jeff, I'll start with you, right? Verdansk carries a lot of history for Call of Duty players. From the studio's perspective, why was now the right time to bring this map to CODM? Yeah, so Verdansks first came to Call of duty way back in 2020 with the launch of Warzone, and it's remained one of the most recognizable maps in the entire Battle Royale genre. So bringing it to CODIM means those new to VerdansK will have the opportunity to experience this world-class map in action for the first time, while players will also have the chance to rediscover these familiar locations in a brand new way. I know, I'm like looking at all the screens around us. I see prison, I see cool things. And of course, we do have some of the biggest creators in the mobile FPS space playing right now. Later on, we're going to see them battle it out for a huge $40,000 prize pool. So, Tony, for those that may be new to Verdansk, what should players expect from the classic map? Yeah, one of the things I like about Verdansks is how differently each area plays. Downtown has a lot of building-to-building fights. At airport, you've got sightlines and more open ground to cross, so position becomes really important. And then you have Superstore, where things can get pretty intense up close. So where you land and how you move through the map really changes the experience. For us, a big focus was keeping that familiar Verdansk feel while making sure it looks good and plays well on mobile. I mean, it looks great. It looks good from everything that I've seen so far, and I can't wait to keep diving more around it. Because looking at the screens, Verdansks looks amazing on mobile, but let me ask you, on behalf of CODM fans everywhere, Are you removing any other of your BR maps? Yeah, so we've seen some of the online chatter, and let's settle it right here. Blackout isn't going anywhere, and neither is our much-loved original mobile map isolated. Rebirth Island and Cry will also stay in rotation as per usual. There you go, timeline chatter. You heard it. We are just adding. The goal is to keep improving and increasing all the things in the CON and BR experience, not take anything away. So we'll keep things on Verdansk for now. Obviously, a map with this much history is the headline, the headline, but I understand there are other changes coming to Battle Royale. Jeff, what else is changing in CODM with this update? Yeah, you're right. So changes are coming. The overall goal is to create more meaningful choices for players, you know, from the opening drop all the way through to the final circle. You know, a big update is the new field asset system. So, you, know, right now in COM players can carry multiple score streaks at a time. But with field assets, player can only carry one at a time, whether that's a, you know, a powerful weapon or a tactical advantage like a UAV. So we want players to think more about the gear choices and whether that next option is worth giving up what they already have in hand. You know, so these changes extend to legacy high powered weapons like the, you know, the War Machine or the Purifier and the Annihilator. They're being rebalanced as part of this update. So we want gear like this to feel more valuable, you know, especially when a squad is preparing for that late game engagement. Everything matters. It's a game of resource management and of course hitting your shots, right? That is the two keys to success, but it sounds like there are some big changes coming to CodM. I mean, I've also heard about a new perk system. Tony, you want to talk us through that? Yeah, so if you played multiplayer, you'll already be familiar with perks. They give you benefits that support how you like to play and we're bringing that same idea into Battle Royale. Some of the benefits that were previously tied to legendary mods are moving into the perk system with the goal of giving players more control over their build. For example, There are perks that help that improve your hip fire accuracy or let you reload while sliding others help you aim or move faster So depending on how you like to take fights, you'll have different options to support that I'm just gonna like start sliding across the stage. But you said what was one of your favorite perks? I like water dome I like quick fix. Okay. Yeah some important ones. I love it in the past We've seen some of these features only come to specific maps and a lot of people have been wondering about that Is this something everyone jumping into battle royale will get to play with? Yeah, these changes are coming to all VR maps So whether you're playing Verdansk, Isolated, or another map, you'll have access to both field facets and perks. Huge. That is absolutely massive news, and it's not even the biggest thing coming to COD M. Jeff, you once told me on an Inside COD M episode that the Gulag was coming back. Tony, I'm looking at you. Can you confirm? Was Jeff lying to me? Was he for real? Are you a truth teller over there? I'm happy to say that Jeff is a man of his word. Let's go. So if you're new to the Gulags, it gives you a chance to fight your way back into the match after you've been eliminated. You face another player in a one-on-one fight, and if you win, you're back in. It's a pretty intense moment because that second chance comes down to how you play that fight. We've also made some refinements since it was last in COD Mobile. For us, it's about giving players a chance to turn things around. Even if a match starts off rough, you can still earn your way back in and help your squad get the win. And yes, we're bringing back the classic Shara's version of the Gulag, which you can see in the footage here. I'm so ready. I'm getting pure nostalgia just watching it. You said, do you run it down mid or are you a little more strategic? No, I like to skirt around the edges, you know, kind of lure them into the deep end and then set the trap and take it down. What about you, Tony? I go for the middle. I go to the action. Oh, straight shooter. I mean, it's crazy to think how iconic the Gulag has become, but how many new players get to experience it for the first time and form their own traumatic memories. But something else I'm noticing from the creator streams is just how clean the overall presentation is looking, especially when they're dropping in. CODM is looking pretty dang sharp. What have you changed? Yeah, we put a lot of work into refining, you know, the whole VR experience, which includes, you, know, things like UI updates. You know, there's a new dynamic lobby screen. You know and the overall graphic fidelity in general. You know we've made, we have more changes planned for the future of Battle Royale also. So CODAM has always been that premium mobile FPS experience. Yeah. And we're maintaining that high bar through all of these changes. I mean, it's the details that matter, right? Some of the most minute things you're like, This makes everything substantially better. You know, 100%. So we're always making updates to third-person animation blending as well. And there's other changes, like the ability to redeploy the parachute while you're airborne. Huge. You know we want players to feel connected to the action and more in line with what players tend to expect from Call of Duty across the board. When season 10 drops, players will immediately feel that CODM Battle Royale has entered a brand new era, not just because of one feature, but because the whole experience evolving i love it i mean of course for dance and the changes coming to battle royale we we talk about them being like the headlines right but this upcoming season has a lot more in store for players and it's not just any season this is call of duty mobile's seventh anniversary season we gotta celebrate i mean tony what does it mean for you and your team to celebrate seven years of cod m seven years is a big milestone and we're really grateful to everyone who continues to play and support COD Mobile. Seeing how much players care about the game means a lot to us as a team. We want to give them reasons to keep coming back and things to look forward to. Verdansk is a big part of that, and there's still a lot we're excited to build on moving forward. I love it. I know we talked on Inside CODM. We had them kind of vote on the seasons prior. Like, it's so cool. We're shaping up to be such a huge, monumental season. Tony, what are some other things that players should have on their radar? Yeah, there's a lot coming this season. Starting with weapons, we're adding the Signal 50, a heavy-hitting sniper rifle. We're also dropping a Mythic version of it in Season 10, so players who connect with it will have a premium version to go after. And speaking of Mythics, Alias is being reimagined as a technologically enhanced warrior and will be our seventh Mythic operator. We're bringing Verganz into DMZ Recon and adding a new boss. So beyond the BR updates, there's quite a bit for players to jump in and check out. I've been seeing a lot about Alias, and honestly, everything looks sick. We got some little sneak peeks there, but we're still not done. On my way in, I did pass slowly. I was doing some stairs. I tried to get in it. There's a gorgeous Ford Mustang just over there off set. Jeff, we have a beast of a car in the building. Tell us more about the upcoming Ford Call of Duty Mobile collaboration. Yeah, we're always striving to try new things when we do these collaborations in Condemn, and we're really excited to be working with Ford and to combine our two iconic brands. And we've prepared a little something special to celebrate. We'll be right back. Boys, get in the Ford Raptor. We're seizing prison in its time. That looked insane. When can players expect to get behind the wheel? Yeah, the Ford Mustang and the Raptor are coming to the game in new draws. But on top of that, they're being integrated into Verdansk in a special Ford contract players can take on during the match. Yeah, we're really excited to partner with Ford and bring something brand new to players everywhere. I know these players are going to be really excited. They're all about their challenges and making sure they've got everything locked in. That's a ton of news. A legendary map, transform Battle Royale experience, new movement, new systems, the huge collaboration with Ford. This is a major step forward for CODM, and I'm sure I speak for players around the world when I say we cannot wait to get our hands on it. I feel a little gremlin-y. Is there anything else left to add, Jeff? You know, just thank you for all the ongoing support from the community, you know, and I can't wait to see everybody in Verdansk when the season comes out in Season 10. I love it. Yes, thank you to our fans everywhere, and we cannot wait to See You All in Verdance. I know you guys are dropping in. You said Superstore. Where are you dropping first? I usually go for Airport. Oh, respectable. I like the hangers a little bit just off the outside, but I mean, you heard them. Verdanske is coming. And of course, while we rest, wait just a little bit longer to drop in. We have 21 creators ready to put their skills to the test right now in the first ever Call of Duty Mobile Verdansque Tournament. And, of course, if you have questions about what's next for CODM, drop them in the chat for a chance to have your question answered by Jeff later in the show. Jeff, Tony, thank you guys so much for joining me here. We've got to get into today's format, though. We've Got to Get Into the Action. Let's do it. Let's go. All right, we pull it up for you guys. We have five games of Verdansk. Our players will be getting placement and elim points for each and every elim. They're going to grab three points. You can see the placement scores on your screen. First place in that map will take home 10 points. It scales all the way down for seventh. And, of course, our creators are all in respective trios. The cool thing about this is it's not just the wins, right? We have bounties on the line, $8,000. We do have a bounty for most eliminations throughout the entire tournament, most eliminulations in a single match. The highest average placement, because we like to reward consistency here, But one of my favorites, that First Blood in every map gets $1,000. So those of you at home, who do you think is going to be one of the players to focus on the First Bloods? Our captains on screen, of course, BobbyPlays, NoahSunday, LittleBee, CoScript, Aerith, Lotex, Winsanity. I want to hear who you guys are rooting for because they have their respective trios. And it's going to get crazy over there in Verdance. Now, we do have some special interviews in the house, and I hear our own Shift is standing by with a special guest. Thank you, Tiff. Appreciate it. Yeah, I've got the one, the only, would you call yourself a giant of COD Mobile at this point? I would. You can call me whatever you want, Shift. That's an insane statement to say, but I've Got Ferg with me. He's been watch partying all the way throughout the day. What's the deal? You just weren't good enough to get invited to play or what? No, no. The same as before. Like, they wouldn't let me play because they knew I would win, you know? it's just as per usual of course i love that energy out of you hey okay so take me kind of through your vibe your overall kind of aura surrounding verdansk i know you've been in and out of all seven years worth of cod mobile what do you feel about like this upcoming now seventh anniversary going into the new patch with verdansc well i love it uh we were playing it all of yesterday they actually let us play it for like three hours and it felt really good and i was surprised due to previous circumstances that it felt so good but i'm very impressed it's amazing I'd love to hear that. Any particular favorites in terms of who's going to dominate today? Of course. I can run you straight through the top three, all right? And I know I'm going to be right. You know, I'd even place a bet on it, but we can't do that. But top three. Here we go. Third place, I'm putting Lotex, JHC, and Dab. Second place, I'm put in Noah Sunday, Space, and Darknyx. And first place, it's the BRL champ. We're talking Slayer, BobbyPlays, and Rez. lock that as the number one pick they're winning easy easy you heard it here first easy dang z that's my guy url so of course he's gonna win this it has to be done there's something rigged in the water or something i'm saying how did they even get that team bro i have no idea but that's just the way it goes for thank you so much where can people find you online because you're watching all day today yeah i am i'll be watching the entire event see you there make sure you check him out that's MyGuyFerg going over to Garrett though he's with Noah one of Ferg's potential favorites hey thank you so much shift and great shout there ferg now ferg just said you're getting second any words for ferg that's very generous that's sehr generous uh i think we all know it's a competition for second place at least so him saying that means we're going to get first that's the way i'm taking it listen we all that you like to win these events you've got a great team talk to me about your team your roster how you feeling about the event overall yeah i mean of course you got me you know someone who plays the game a lot we got space professional call duty mobile player dark nick someone who's currently like the most grinding streamer i think in the entire space like everyone on our team is a shooter right we've got that experience we're not the most experienced in battle royale because we play all of our different modes but we've Got shooters on our team so i think that is going to really carry us to hopefully get that second place that everyone's kind of hyping us up for if we can kill slayer and and then camp his body and make sure he doesn't get a respawn maybe we have a chance at first but it's just it's going to be an uphill battle listen you got a lot of folks cheering you on my man i need you to have some big confidence in yourself because i've got confidence in you okay i don't think you're a silver surfer either uh okay you've had a chance to already touch verdansk a little bit here uh talk to me favorite features favorite things that you've seen already i know we're about to jump into the competition but any big things that stand out already uh well honestly it's just i'm sure everyone's been saying how good the map like truly looks here on mobile on the call of duty mobile engine to see it for the first time with all the lighting the different features and then playing it in third person for the first time like just in general like it's it's like seeing an old friend that you need to catch up with after a couple of years like i'm just excited to be in the map and land a hospital dude that was always my favorite job so seeing that too with like the new lighting is crazy dude heck yeah well thank you for spending a little time with me we're about to jump into the action man you got to get things set up i know you're streaming everybody else is streaming where can people find you very quickly just look up noah sunday on any social media if i'm live there you'll find me there right now bang all right he's gonna get live we're gonna get things started let's head back to tiff wow uh hospital goes that's a fun place over there and no i know you and i have landed there but chat we do have some things for those of you at home be sure if you are watching today's live stream in the cod m app you can unlock viewer rewards just open the game look for the video player icon on the menu screen cod m has given away a bunch of those rewards most importantly y'all that exclusive price skin everyone on the timeline's been talking about it i think it's like 90 minutes so lock in get comfortable you can see it unlock free rewards there's a little sneak peek but guys are you excited shift go have a dang good time today let's get this thing going man i actually was a little surprised to see ferg's predictions a touch i thought he would have had him in different orders what if he's actually right like locked in listen i know he's even saying it no one's a guy that's really confident in himself and his team and i think he's gonna be feeling really good as like a top three team but everybody Everybody's hyping up this Bobby play squad, in particular because of how strong Slayer is. Apparently, in the practice lobby, Slayer has taken out the entire lobby by himself. It is the guy to watch if you're going to watch one perspective. No pun intended. I was on the shuttle with all the players coming in today, and people were like, so what KD do you think you have? He's like, at least a nine. Oh, that's so casual. Was that a humble move? He said it so casually. As a matter of fact, I don't know, nine, ten. 10 just like bro this is private lobbies and i i think we're flying right now playing flying overhead players dropping in no time to wait we're getting started today folks and i love to see it game one underway drop one that plane line though i like it because i was gonna say i'm such a boneyard stan i see this plane line and i am in there give me the heli give me to buy station let's rock couple things to watch out for as we jump straight into the action the first thing of is that the first blood pays $1,000. The first blood on the map in general. So if you see that kill feed light up, lock in. Let's pay attention to see who gets the first cash. I'm also now starting to realize there is another conversation that the players were having on the shuttle. Bobby was like, hey, so, like, first drop, what if we all just land in Superstore? Now I see what his plan was. He's like, let me funnel all the kills to Slayer and see if I can bait everyone to Superstore. Doesn't look like anyone's taking the keys, though. Yeah, it doesn't look it. But they are going to take the hot drop. We saw a quick look at that plane line like Tiff mentioned. It is headed down the entire west side of the map. And it looks like things are fairly quiet to kick things off. Again, we've got seven trios with a fairly large map. So we'll have plenty of time here to kind of lock in. First of all, it looks beautiful up here at Superstore. It's almost nostalgia, of course, but also here in COD M. Yeah. I mean, look how clean this is. That's always been a conversation point with KodM. It's just like, it feels perfect. Legitimately perfect. Go back, go back, Leon, goback. Oh, and you can see Comps are coming through. There actually is another team at Superstore. So there could very well be an early engagement for First Blood here. And Slayer is able to get an enemy down and an elimination. So I believe that's First Blood in the lobby for drop one. Yeah, huge pickup there. I think it was Vague that was down below a second ago. And there, yeah, they're still chasing this elimination if they can find it. They've got player advantage, they've got position, getting one weak, but I think they're just going to full swing on this. If I'm BobbyPlays, you've got a player advantage. You've got to make sure you secure these pickups before any self-revives come through. Here we go. Full challenge together. Slayer taking front. Easy pickup, all three together. Things looking easy. Pretty casual. It's co-script two falls and Slayer with the credit for elimination number two. Well on his way towards that 9.0 KD. I mean, it was so funny because when they were talking, they were like, wait, why do you feel like 90? He's like, well, I should only die maybe once. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, you know, funny enough, we talked a lot about this before we got started. And their team at the very beginning of the show also talked about it. Gulag's back, baby. Yeah, Yeah, We got showers Gulag. I mean you go down to the Gulag, pick up an extra elimination, come back into the map. You're feeling fantastic. Okay. Yeah, we'll just go. Excited to see the Gulog back here in Kataim. Well, you hear the comms a little bit. Bobby and Ko. So I think we're going to try to chase down the third member of this team that's kind of working their way down towards hospital. But over to Noah's Sunday squad. He finds himself in promenade. There is another team nearby on the backside of terrain station already getting a couple of attacks. Goodness, nice shots out of Noah. Yeah, fantastic shots to kick things off here in prom. I'm very low on ammo, though. Should have. Those arsenal drops coming in fairly soon as well. A lot of our team's prioritizing. Here's Winsanity with Jokesta. Let's kill him first, and then we can grab you. They're prioritizing playing for buy station, pretty classic BR gameplay loot. Let's just get the kill. Get your cash, get to that buy station and pick up your loadouts or otherwise. That's a revive flight. It's two now. This is the exact location of that retreat from the team they fought at Superstore. So looking for more, and Slayer is going to find Boileum up top, most likely at least. That would be the idea. This comes down to, whoa, are you going to expect me to be this close? And no, not initially. Slayer is going to fall, and you can kind of hear Ferg is popping off. He didn't expect that. Liam popped up like, yo, I got him! Yeah, I mean Liam wins that engagement, namely just because he's got the SMG. He was able to just play that up close and personal and just play the challenge. He was just able to win it, so impressive stuff here. Is he gonna force Vayne to get really aggressive as well? Bobby plays though! There's gonna be some trash talk on that one. Yo, Vayne, what are we doing, brother? Another multi-appearances at championships for Call of Duty Mobile Esports gets beat by BobbyPlays and Liam is scouting. Cheeky. Scouting. Some solid shots over the top. Doesn't quite have loadout yet, so there's just some ground loot weapons. Still pretty bouncy. But overall, looks like BoyLiam, CoScript's team here with Vague, they're putting up a fight. Yeah. Trading back and forth. We're going to check in with Noah Sunday one more time and see what they're doing. It looks like they maybe got some intel that there was a team close by as well. Yeah, I think in that last moment of that view on the Coast Crypt and Liam's team, I think Coast Crypt also got an elimination. So the Hunters became the hunted very quickly right there for BobbyPlays. A little bit of a humility and humble check right there in terms of how much they can get away with as we move to the bottom side into the hillside of this village. And this is another one of those spots where, yeah, again, NoahSundaySquad chasing down another team and wins, able to get one. Finishes the elim another one right behind the trade is in for a moment But their whole teams are here. I could Noah able to take down two of the three Winsanity is loving the fact that he killed space again There's a lot of history between a lot a lot our creators and anybody that has competed at any sort of competitive level Outside of just some of these types of turn of it space. You're gonna be feeling fancy. Oh, here we go vague versus space This is actually a huge moment moment. 1v1 whoever wins gets back into the lobby with it looks like the Fennec. Oh yeah we got gas and grenades and smoke. Does the flag pop? Space is a little bit outside the area here. Has to try to lock things in and it's just gonna play a little bit of third person but no! Space gets smoked. Vape will get the redeploy space He thought he purchased back. Really well done there. Reminder, too, here in Verdansk, we've got all of the classic contracts active. We saw the bounty just a second ago that was on Winstead in his head, so that's Team NOAH Sunday executing a nice trade, of course, with a big win in the gulag. Keeps us onto the map. We'll check in with another classic Verdansksism, which is grab the helicopter to rotate around the map, that'll let you certainly rotate well, you'll be able to get good positions, but also sometimes you're able to catch your opponents by surprise if I'm swooping in for some pretty easy eliminations. Yeah, absolutely. This is a team I'm actually surprised has not kind of been in the rankings in terms of where everyone's at because, like, Aerith is insane. Marci's insane. I don't know much about Bella Fox's ability. She's really good. I assume she's really gut if she's here, but, I mean, Marci and Aerith have been two top competitors in the North American space for a while, so I would have figured that people would have had these guys on their radar as they fly quickly on the bottom side of the circle over towards that backside buy station at the hilltop. So opportunity to set themselves up for the circle once it starts to move. Yeah, a quick note here too, you know, we love Verdansk, and there's a lot of open spaces, particularly on the north side of the map. The helicopters, your Berthas, obviously your Ford Mustangs or otherwise, all of the vehicles are going to be incredibly important for your rotations. Look how much ground they're covering in an instant. Yeah, they're looking for fights. Yeah, and they're also going for these arsenal drops as well to still get them the loot they're working for. One thing I know about Bella Fox is that she is oftentimes referred to as the sniper queen So we'll see if maybe she's electing to go for a sniper. Maybe the new signal 50 Here in our arsenal drops. So I gotta know who is this C team? That's over at farmland. Just Hugging the circle. They've been down there since the beginning of the drop just vibing just Harvesting crops over there and now they're at the one their way over towards It's the downtown area, which is never a fun spot to rotate into, but no one's really there. Yeah. There is actually a bounty on Bella Fox right now, so it looks like, yeah, we're just going to keep flying and vibing right now. Yeah. I mean, the biggest things to pay attention to, of course, we've got a very big map for 21 players, but every elimination is three points. I mean if you win this whole thing and you're the last team standing, you're getting ten points. So the eliminations are nice. Here's a quick look at that overall format, of coarse. not only an incredible amount of prizing across the board between our bounties and wherever you place in our total points category but it's it's those 10 points that are nice the placement points but the three points per elimination you get a team wipe that's nine points i mean i think it pays to play aggressive here yeah and that's been i think the general sentiment kind of listening into everyone talking about what their strategies are going to be today is kill kill kill killed kill kill just play for elimination as much as possible this next circle is going to pull everyone really close together airport superstore or Storage, Boneyard, all of them going to be eliminated. We still have this team at Port that's still rotating in there. They're going to find their way on the east side of the circle. And you've got Train Station being a hot position of interest here for two of our squads, Bobby's squad and, I believe, is that Vague's squad? Yeah, Vague and Coastgrip. It looks like Vague and CoastGrip might be the only two aligned. I think Boy Liam is still down. They might need to go for the buyback, but they may not have time already. Here comes the pressure. Same fight we've been watching since the beginning. This time Bobby Plays trying to clutch up and close it out. Slayer now on your screen playing point man. Now Rezzy's going to be watching the outside. Bobby right there with her. And it's Slayer who's trying to enter. But he lived with some damage. Here comes Rez and Bobby to follow. Even though Slayer will drop, looks like the squad will be eliminated. Two kills on the board. Bobby Play's team will survive with Slayer in the gulag. Still taking quite a bit of damage here though. Who is this? Even Rez is having to back off. Oh, no. Actually can't even get through. It's Aerith. Here comes the heli squad. I told you they could rotate quickly. They get all the way down to train, park the helis, and get in and take a body away and send another one to the gulag. Bobby's alone for now. If his two teammates can win, they can come back in. He needs to stall out this fight as long as possible. Well, that's the other thing with 21 players. You're sitting waiting for an opponent in the gULAG until another fight breaks out. So you're just kind of waiting for the timer to expire before you might just get instantly brought back together. Bell going to get a couple of shots in as Bobby is out of here, or at least attempting to get out of hier. You've got to keep in mind, on the map, there's another squad to the south on the top side of Promenade that surely is hearing all this gunfight happening and are looking to maybe gatekeep a rotation in as another helicopter is also flying in on top of that. So we're getting a little spicy over here, and this is that F team that's flying into the heli looking for some action. Yeah, we got Dab Blaze rolling up. Watch out. There's Bobby pretty actually frankly in a very tough position tries to smoke and play through it But just too many players and like you mentioned his teammates weren't able to get back in time So big pick up here as it looks like space Noah Sunday Also joining the party so a big fight here in train station And I think Noah's talking quite a bit of trash right now I think he's talking straight to Bobby who's right on the other side of the divider from him Whoever set this set up knew exactly what they were doing. Correct. Deserved. And here we go. We can take a look at it from the overhead. Three different squads still lingering around train station. Looks like somebody from Bobby's team is spawning back in or has dropped back in one of the two. So not fully out of the picture yet, but Erez and Marshy able to pinch on to one. A knock on to Marshy, but able to stay alive. Erez will get the pick up. And ooh, careful. Bella Fox will also drop. That's dab places dropping on in and Erez was not able to get the full res will drop, so another squad just kind of not able to get themselves set up. Yeah, this is that low-tech J, H, C, and Dab play squad that came in in the other helicopter, which I think they may have pulled from the opposite side of the map. I think so, too, yeah. This is a hugely aggressive, and this is what happens also, this is classic, classic Verdansk. Anytime in a Battle Royale that you're able to get your loadout weapons, you're going to get those arsenal drops, you feel really comfortable, You've got to push the equation when you think you've got an advantage to go for it They heard the shots like you mentioned took the heli over and got active and big shot to low techs They're dropping off the top ropes and just slamming Well, let's take a look here. I mean we're in a really interesting position of the map right now We've got a lot of squads that are still working and lingering trying to rotate in but Tiff is with Co script Who has been wiped in map number one early. What do you got first Tiff? Yeah, hey, thanks, guys. Crow Script with me right here. You guys mentioned it. First team out, first game on the day. How are we feeling about that one? Unfortunately, we got out first, but, I mean, we've been making some plans to come out on top the next game. Okay, can you give us an insight into some of those plans? Honestly, I think it was just a lot of miscommunication. We really weren't locked in on the same plan when we dropped, so we were kind of scattered, and that ended in us getting out first. See, that's the hard part. I'm always wondering, because in creator tournaments, of course, sometimes these are even more competitive. You're coming in. You may have not grinded with them as much. So tell me about not only Verdansk being on CODM, right, but how that strategy with the team is going to come together. Honestly, I think just really just staying together, holding hands. We got singled out when we died. So I feel like really just locking in on really holding hands and staying together. I think that's the best point of action. and I think next game we're going to come out maybe top three. Where are you all going to drop? So we dropped Superstore the first game, so maybe next game someone a little more quiet. Yeah. A little more safe. All right, well, get locked back in. We'll see you in the next game. Guys, back to you. Thank you, Tiff, for another great interview. I will say all I heard towards the end of that interview was Noah going, Bobby, Bobby, as we saw it actually here on main. Noah's team yet again taking down Bobby as he was able to get back into the lobby and now cut down unreal stuff next circle pull will move us all the way in between promenade East Hospital and Park kind of in that apartment complex area that I won't lie I just don't like to go over that direct there's too many windows too many doors no no thank you but it's gonna pull in a couple of those tall buildings where you can't just post up and hang you see that from where dab plays is as we rotate back over to train station really it's two teams but like Like you mentioned, Bobby's squad is still trying to get back to fighting condition. You've also got JHC, who's in the mix, but needs to find some stable ground and some stable loot to work with. Slayer and Rez are already being picked apart a little bit. Yeah, I mean, again, this is a duo that's trying to give Bobby back if they can, but they're mostly worried about getting to the next zone. I mean they see the zone on their back. It's moving at about the same pace as they are if they were in a full-out sprint. So Bobby is back, able to get Back potentially from the Gulag there. It looks like that Gulag is going to be closing here shortly as well. So that was the last chance to get back into the map. He's back, and now it's JHC, which is that low-tech squad that picked up some of those eliminations earlier on Aerith's team. He may not get there. Yeah, they are hugging the edge of this gas. Now, here in Battle Royale, you all know it, the gas doesn't do a crazy amount of damage yet. It definitely will in the late, late game, but if you can't get out of it... He may or may not make it. Okay, okay, big pick up here to find a vehicle. This may save him. No. Oh, get there, Jaycee, go! Oh! That was so close. Oh, no. I don't think it could have been closer. The fact that we saw a gas race in the very first map is so classic Battle Royale. There's a lot of players that are down. Space is down right now by the look of it. There's someone else behind him that looks like they're dealing with some damage. So now all of a sudden you look to where, I hate to say it, Bobby's team is. They're kind of in a prime position to maybe pick apart some low health pool teams that are trying to work their way back in with the circle. It's going to be an interesting battle between what I believe is still Noah's team and Bobby's team trying to get themselves set up as the circle will continue to move this time out into the middle of no man's land in the highway. Yeah, interesting position, certainly. Also, J.C. dying right after Kula closed means they're going to keep playing as a duo. You see Dab plays and low techs on your screen actually split a bit. dab having to rotate in so we're gonna move forward and it looks like Marshy seems gonna play around this buy station they're just inside of the zone there's actually a great position to be in everybody's gonna have to rotate towards you you can get some of this cover early especially a Bella can come kind of group up with the full team I think they're actually in a pretty good spot maybe pick up this low text team in transition and then kind of hold out on this side of the Zone and wait for the new to shrink well Slayer taking shots at the moment. Rez Bobby focused on what looks to be that man-made river and it's Joksta, Ney, and Nguyen who are in their way but Jokstas by himself. Gonna get a little bit of help over the top but this is still a very problematic position. At least you can hold this bridge as kind of like a dividing line between you and everybody else. Depending of course you don't get rushed on and it looks like yeah Nguen and Ney are just gonna kind of back away and see if they can just deal with a little bit more time and space as the circle continues to close in very very quickly yeah jerks are actually kind of popping that medic util maybe a hair too early they needed to wait for this engagement here to maybe help that teammate nice pinch though here from the opposite side they having to reload and they're focused on win sanity shots yeah solid shots across the board getting both weak but unfortunately cut down finally and it will be a full elimination the right idea just not quite enough firepower it looks like team win sanity are off the board yeah little b squad with verdicts right on the opposite side of this fire station from bobby's team who looks like they have been able to regain a wicked new zone yeah that's exactly what i was gonna say they have to rotate now through bobby his team which is not i mean i'm telling you anytime you have to deal with those big towers it's never great little b very talented sniper in his day competitively trying to see if he can pick apart a couple extra points but not able to connect as of yet and it looks like that squad on the side of the river will also kind of have to play that rotation battle this is not a fun spot to be i mean honestly bobby's team is the best spot possible that's available at the moment yeah really good read on the zone also great resilience from a team that's lost their lives a ton but again battle royale if you've got the cash you can play buy stations always get people back into the lobby regardless of gulag wins here's a great rotation from era's team actually playing the short side of the zone they've got their backs to gas here and they've actually got a bit of a ridge they can play with look at this era's actually in a really strong position they They need to make sure they don't lose one to Bobby's team peeking up through the trench. But a true 3v3v3 to wrap up our first map of the day. What an exciting way to see Verdansk here on Kata. This is the classic experience. Yeah, Team Bobby Plays is the monkey in the middle right now too. So they're the ones that have the onus of the decision-making on their shoulders of what exactly do we do here. But as the movement starts to come through, it actually looks like it's going to be Team Bobby Place playing up against Vague Squad. And at the moment, Aerith and company really aren't in the position to third-party or deal any extra damage. Now, all of a sudden, they get involved. Bobby, a couple of decent shots, but runs out of ammunition. He is stuck with just a single weapon from here on out. And that's going to be down to where exactly does this final circle center? And it's going be right here in the river. This is all about who rotates first. Yeah, this is the final circle, so it's just going to pinch in on the Singularity in mid. Bella goes down first. Unfortunately, Aeris' team having to get really aggressive here out in the open, not looking great. But luckily does have the right util to get some cover out. Aerith on the pinch. Little B goes down. Aerith, great play there. Little B's team full wiped. It's going to be a 2v3. And somehow, someway, Bobby plays in an advantage position just down in numbers in a great pinch. He's putting up a ton of damage, but no knocks. Aerith was completely overwhelmed. I think you're right. That looked like a perfect position play opposite sides of the bridge. See if you can just get him caught into a little bit of a funnel. But the numbers will win out onto one, and Bobby Squad will take map number one. And all of a sudden, Noah's really quiet after all the chirping that had happened earlier in this map. What a fun map, man. That was a lot. Noah's chattering a bunch of me. I don't know what you all can hear. All of our streamers are live and talking a lot of trash to each other. All in good fun. But, of course, a lot of competitiveness here. There is $40,000 on the line. So great job from Team BobbyPlays to pick up the first map victory and, I believe, our first bounty, which is the first blood. Yes, the first flood. And, honestly, good kill dispersion as well. Six, six, and four between the three. Bobby still being carried, as we all expected. But the fact that they were able to survive through that opening toggle, going back and forth between the Superstore, tall apartments, all the way down in towards where that final circle was, I thought for sure they were going to be goners, but, I mean, maybe it's just the fact that Bobby drops in to where the new circle is, helps his teammate get into the circle and into the zone, and it kind of alleviates them from the pressure from what was like five teams at Drain Station at one point. That was a 38-point game just from kills alone, and then another 10 on top of that. That's a 40, sorry, no, 58-point gain, right? That is crazy. Yeah, 18 total, or 16 total times three. Yeah, there it is, folks. crazy amount of points to kick things off that will certainly set the tone for the day. Quick look back at some of our highlights, of course. Things went well for a lot of our teams. Unfortunately, this moment for JAC is just classic for a dance. This one's moving a bit too fast. This match is pretty big. I think that's a lesson learned for a couple of the squads. I think Noah's team got a little bit trapped outside in that third circle gas as well. And yeah, as you're taking damage initially, you're like, oh, I can survive this. And then all of a sudden you realize, wait a second, this thing is moving quick on the top side of wherever the fast part of the zone is and yeah, if you don't cover ground quickly you're going to be stuck taking a ton of chip damage. We saw I think two or three players learn that lesson the hard way in map number one. Yeah, 100%. A big win there for Bobby, of course, and it was 58. Quick math. Is well doubled up on top of the Aerith team who did pick up second overall with those seven placement points. It'll be nice. Let's swing over to Tiff though to talk with Bobby, the big winner. Yeah, thanks guys. It was really good seeing that leaderboard right there. I do have Bobby. How are we feeling about the 58 points from map number one? I'm feeling pretty good. I honestly expected that we had a little more trouble than we thought. We went to the Google a couple times, so it was looking a little dicey right there, but Slayer really pulled us together. Yeah, so I saw it. Now, Ferg did give us a little bit of his predictions earlier. He said you guys were the team to watch and you named Slayer as the player to pull you guys together. Is that kind of what the strategy is looking like? uh get in slayer's backpack yeah 100 he's the he's the pro player for a reason but rez pulled her own she had as many kills as he did so it was uh it was a really good team effort i'm proud of the way we played on that one all right well you said you struggled a bit at the beginning so are you gonna make some adjustments going into map number two yeah so actually when i went to the gulag i muted it to talk to my chat didn't realize i was muted for the entire rest of the game so i'm gonna try to keep my mic on this time so you're throwing but it's not working so that's a good sign cannot stop bobby he's even if he's muted he just cares a lot about his chat do you want to say something special them hey shout out to everybody watching in all of the chats and make sure you guys watch all the way through i think it's going to be a fun one i feel like he's got leaks and speaking of that i believe we have a season 10 trailer we can Check out. that's right y'all if you've got questions about what's next for cod m drop them in the chat for a chance to have your question answered later in the show um we'll see you guys later i feel like we gotta get back into the action i'll tell you what that was a heater that was heater they're Still, they're still going at it, by the way. Still yapping to each other? A little bit. I think Noah's actually, like, showing him the clip of him killing Bobby as a big moment. You have to have it on deck. You're like, this is what I just did to you. Here's the problem. And then you say, scoreboard. Yeah, exactly. Here's a problem. They're doubled up on second place, which is the Ares team. Yeah, facts. Great game from Ares' team. No question about it. But 58 in the first one. I mean, what do you do? You just got to throw a banger down yourself. Now, I saw you pointing at the map when that last circle popped, and you were like, look at Aerith's team. Aerith and Marshy kind of split out. Were you thinking they were setting up a trap play right there? I mean, they very well could have. And you saw it a little bit on the replay. I didn't realize that Aerith had maybe, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but like mantles over the bridge rail and then gets picked. Like, if you could just kind of coordinate that, like, I'm peeking. Okay, I need to reset. Other person peeks. Everyone's down in that funnel. There was definitely an opportunity for them to clean things up. But, I mean Bobby hit it on the head. I mean the fact that Rez is right there slaying with Slayer, Their same level of kills is impressive and definitely a big note towards the future of this tournament. Yeah, it sounds like we're jumping straight back into it, folks. Wasting no time, plane flying overhead. Players dropping in, and I think the biggest question in my mind, now what do you change up? Take a look at our plane line. Totally different side of the map that we get to start on. Some of our teams electing to drop immediately, which means they're probably dropping prom or maybe going to stretch a little bit to hospital here. It could be pretty hot, actually, at hospital. Or stadium. Potentially. Haven't seen stadium yet. I want to see what our C team is doing. This is our farmland squad. Our farmers. Yeah, they're our farmers. They're dropping the swords, picking up the plowshares. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like they're going to split. I kind of like this. Get involved. Get early. Have someone just kind of looting, getting cash. I think it's TV is the only actually contested position. There's a little bit of action here at Lumber, though, too. It's Aerith squad plus the third from whatever that C squad is. Otherwise, yeah, it's going to be TV station with our first major conflict. Two big spots to watch. Any big takeaways from that one shift? Any surprises that you kind of noticed through the first map? I mean, I think my biggest point and what we're really going to notice, especially as our first circle is going to get drawn here, is who is going take the early rotation advantage and not be stuck out in gas chasing territory? because that was a big impact, especially considering that we had three different teams fighting around that train station area at once, whether it was Bobby's team or Aera's team or Vague's team, whoever it was. There were a lot of squads that were cycling into fights, and they just kind of got stuck there when the circle continued to move. So that's like the decision-making point that we've seen across really the history of Call of Duty Mobile VR is like, one, do you want to fight? One, do your priorities rotating? Sometimes you get stuck in between both, and you can punish you as Lotex is in some big trouble right now. Yeah, having to recall, trying to stay alive here. In deep trouble, GHC trying to cause it. Unfortunately, Little B wins that engagement yet again. A nice pickup there, some solid ground loot, able to pick up SMG. Wins those engagements, CQB, nine times out of ten. Little B, Metal Core, Verdict in a good position here to win this potential fight as Lotex and Dab. Dab is coming in from the low side of this. LoteX up on high. This is going to be an important fight that they need to win, but they need an isolated one. easier said than done low tax a little bit trapped on the mantle no plates like you mentioned gonna get chased not able to do so much initially but is able to smoke little b what did not see that happening and all of a sudden that fight changes dynamically as low tax gets the reset able to shut down metal core and that will be tv station won by our f squad here and simultaneously looking over at the map Bobby's team is in a fight over towards airport and they are not winning it at the moment they're able to stabilize but the initial battle did not look particularly great well we swing over to the gulag folks tried and true classic try to use some of your util to get some damage down to win the engagement or get lucky not going to get lucky here boom my goodness little b lines him up knocks him down but uh not without some trials and tribulations he was very low in the health yeah but he's going to be coming back in with an lmg which isn't too shabby to hopefully help out his team should things continue to be awry yeah we're going to go over towards the parking garage here at airport where bobby's team is right in the midst of it rez slayer both able to find two knocks just looking for the third who i believe is just right overhead and slayer is running chasing trying to find the last one that is bobby who's able to track it down a couple of shots come through find and find the laughs He does at least get the help, but goodness that was a turn on Yeah, I think maybe he thought his magazine was a bit larger than it was a few too many shots missed But hey, everything's fine We've got Slayer and Rez there to pick you up and keep knocking him down another strong start for team Bobby plays Hey, at least our teams are putting him a fight. I like to see he's getting damage numbers, but I hear Ferg in the background also screaming about ease. It's like no way Bobby's getting turned on. Here's another engagement. Looks like shotgun potentially in hand here for Aerith, but enough damage for little B, who again, who has been in quite a blender, tried to land actually isolated, gonna try to barrel stuff, misses most of those shots. Nice slide out, and here comes the clean up. Nice trade almost, but I don't think he's gonna get credited. that elimination as no full comes through. Yeah, decent finesse, but again, overwhelmed. I'm surprised to see Lil B landing all the way over here, though, after coming out of the Gulag. Again, that Gulag kind of spits you out wherever it may, but maybe just looking to maybe play his ones and go find a couple of eliminations if he can, pick some free ones up, but no free ones to be had. Don't move it on foot. I'm just hovering over you guys. I'm trying to tally things up here a little on the map. That team that was split between TV Station and Lumber is now, I think, just left with the one player at Lumber. So not great news. We head back over towards this TV station position. Space is going to drop to Lotex. Help is nearby, so he shouldn't be able to be in position to get recovered. But Noah is far away, and it looks like they may just chalk him and see if they can just redeploy. Yeah, this is kind of a tough position. So what we saw is that they've got the bounty. So this is that contract you pick up. You all know it. You love it. Bounty is on LoteX, I believe, or at the very least, one of members of Lote X's team. And this is a tough bounty to pick up that's another elimination. That's gonna be low Texas third That's nine points low Texas showing just by himself And again, there's just some tough engagements with smoke and run gonna play the low side of this He's feeling very confident while dab is playing the far angle If they get caught up in an engagement with low techs and forget about dad There's a chance coming up from the top rows. No Sunday forces the recall Check on the low Texas gonna head back to where he was just a few seconds ago go and good job burning that you too impressively enough the low text was able to get the full loot off of the downed box so i mean he should be cooking with a lot of extra survivability and we'll be able to like you mentioned give a little bit of extra space circle is starting to push in just a touch again it's going to take the majority of the top part of the map out of the picture stadium will still halfway be in you've got the six pack of apartment buildings that's still in between Superstore and Hospital. But speaking of, Bobby's team is over here at the bottom side of Superstore, and there is a battle happening at one of those apartment buildings. And they have at least a tally on who it is and where they are. The difference is how do you actually fight low ground to high ground in this position? It doesn't feel good. Oh, we're chasing. Yeah, I mean, again, bounty on. You're gonna fly at this, especially if you have some loadout weapons. Gonna swing up on this and nice pickup. Oh, no. There's the final. Everybody trying to reload. Everybody running out of ammo in the crucial moments, but a fight still to be had, and all three still alive. They're picking this apart perfectly. Thank God it's so free! Oh, goodness. So, Vague's team, the victims there. Once again, we have squads fighting against the gas. That's our G squad and our C squad, and still a couple of lingering players over at TV Station at the moment, so there are a couple of squads that still need to do some rotation work, and hey, how are ya? Darknick's not expecting the play to come through. Lotex finds another. He has been putting together a great second drop, and Noah's in trouble trying to get out. An iota of a plate left, and he's doing great movement. Oh, sneaky sneaky! Turn burn! Noah goes huge! That's one down the other week with good trade here. Potential No, not gonna get all the way out. They chase him down and they cut him down looks like jhc is back on his feet and able to win that one Was it the last guy but this is what i'm loving about verdant and cotton, man It's so verdant. It's kind of a classic nostalgia feel but it's so clean and you still have the cod mbr Minutia if you yeah, yeah, you can play around your teams that rewind ability We've seen a ton from low techs has totally changed these fights It allows you to play these stairwell fights in a different way, get really aggressive and then use that rewind, use that glitch to get back to where you were just a few seconds ago. These class abilities are just so valuable, so really fun. Let's listen in with Lotex after a big win in a fight. LoteX is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but the team up with him now as they rotate in. Whenever someone shoots us, we have to jump out big because it's on 45. Yeah, we're at 45. Yeah, I want to try to get the airdrop. Actually, let's go for this revive right here, one guy just landed, jump out, guys. That's two people. Yeah, chopper too. No, he got me. Oh, bro, I'm so ass, bro. That is crazy. An uncharacteristic loss for Lotex for certain. But, yeah, what a reaction. No, y'all heard Ferg on that one, right? He choked. He's literally calling out, like, LoteX, you are literally choking. He chocked. And this was also the program play, right? They came in with the heli. They tried to pick up somebody reviving. And here's the thing. THG's going to try to get it as well. It just holds down the fire. Vague gets cut down. Dude, what is Vague doing? I don't know. I talked to Coastgrip. Vague's right next to him. Vague is actually just a lemming. He is running out and just getting his life sold. And great job from Coastgrep to get the cleanup as well Listen, what did Coastgrup say he was going to do? they're going to hold hands it's working it's working Liam still in the mix but in some serious trouble as you can also see Marshy squad is on top of the tower downtown just kind of waiting and watching meanwhile center of the circle team Bobby plays set up and vibing at the moment so circle will start to center once again in between that space of hospital downtown bottom middle portion of the map and yeah with a helicopter are available, Marci's team's in a great spot to pick and choose what they want to do. You can either sit back, play positioning, or try to get a little more aggressive. Use the heli, rotate, move from fight to fight. Yeah, 100%. I mean, downtown, one of the most iconic areas of Verdansk for many reasons, one of which, though, is the just ridiculous amount of sight lines that you can get shot from. Something I always say, I've been saying it for quite literally six years in Verdansks, which is that downtown is a quagmire things slow way down here in downtown which is where we are headed as of current there's a chance the zone could pull towards hospital in late game but most of the teams that are here unless you've got a heli to get really aggressive the whole map will slow down quite a bit it's like everybody else rolling up in the area trying to get a piece of the action as every limb is three points it's worth worth playing for yeah this chase under liam is causing the attention to come through for team bobby plays and they actually will find that pick and now all take a second battle as there are two squads still nearby the most immediate is the one up top still watch again a Bobby gonna throw some shots with the scope but now they're realizing that there's more on the immediate low ground that they're fighting for so a weird position here circle will be pretty slow for all of our squads who've already find themselves in the next one yeah if you've got a high ground position it may be worth waiting on the inside room to try to figure out where to rotate to yeah there's a little in front of me Still hunting, Bobby down on the low side of our quad here. Again, I think they're just gonna make sure this team can't rotate. I mean, even if you try to rotate, you'd have to go for a vehicle here to probably live. Well, that nade didn't go exactly where we needed it to go, but it doesn't matter, JhC down. And again, this is the same team over and over again that's just been getting picked up. Okay, you see the two dots in like 360? And I think this is kind of classic for a dance game, but yet again, you hear shots, you've got the advantage, So let's push it, nice rewind there. Get back into safety, but unfortunately Rez overpeaks and low techs yet again finds another. Yeah, but Slayer right there to pick up on it. Bobby following for support, and that will do it. I mean, Rez initially, I don't think expected there to be so many players watching her direction, but Bobby right there in the mix. And now there's gonna be an opportunity, I believe, for Dab and Rez to fight each other in the gulag. Wind still floating around as that's his squad looking in as the next circle once again continues to shrink on the center position between hospital and downtown. Yeah, you're going to have basically two sides of the zone. You're going out of the hospital side, you're gonna have the downtown side, and then that big wide gulch in the middle. And so you have to kind of pick a side and hope the zone pulls your direction. Hopefully you'll be able to pick up some eliminations in transition as well. When Sanity's team is playing edge of zone, it's looking like they're rotating off screen down towards hospital while on screen. Fire sale coming up. Yeah, this is going to discount lot of the things you're still looking for especially those self-revives can be really valuable UAVs buybacks everything it looks like yeah inside the gulag Rez does get the win on the dab so Rezzy will be brought back Dab surely will be purchased back no problem and you can take a look to see now as Eretz squad are working their way towards once again that position on the top side of downtown. You've got Bobby's team to their south. Ney, Joksta, and Wynn are rotating in. So they're kind of the monkeys in the middle right now. And on the outside, Space and Noah are trying to regain a little bit. Just get in the loot that they can before we eventually get to our final circle here right in the center of the map. Now with Sanity, Jost, and Ney doesn't look like they have found hardly any eliminations, but they're trying to get to a good position for late game. points really helpful. Reminder, too, we know that Team Poppy Place is way ahead. Team Aerith's in second place, though, and with a big swing and a win here, they could certainly close the gap at the very least. Also, our $40,000 prize pool is delineated all the way down to last, so it's worth playing for points regardless of where you're at. Here's a quick look at that leaderboard again. On the right-hand side of your screen, Noah Sunday, technically in third place overall, but things are beginning to change. We've got plenty of games to play, but even for a team like Team Insanity, who's down there in last place currently just 10 points could change this leaderboard pretty dramatically yeah and as this circle starts to narrow in dark nicks has been purchased back so noah's team is back to full force but there are three squads on the east side of that dividing trench possibly more if when they are able to make their way over and kind of one close choose the third party some of this and you hear bobby saying whoa we've got players nearby here and they do space this team is surrounding at the moment dark nick's already taking some shots on the way in as eric bella fox and the rest of their squad are kind of the again tertiary target here that could potentially drop in very very quickly there is a lay of the land of who we're dealing with and where they are and again classic dude i got people caught mbr we're popping uavs we're ready for action slayer here's the call pops their uav they've got plenty of cash for it and they've They've got some pretty good insight on where to go to get in an engagement. Darknex playing an interesting flank, not playing with Noah Sunday, kind of on the opposite side. Somebody on us. Potentially could bait out a fight that Noah could swing into the backside of. I'm not sure exactly what the plan, but they're going to grab a few more UAVs to be prepared for it, so they should have a really good idea of where everybody's at. I see one inside. That's going to be Darknext, and the other's in the nearby area. But take a look at that map. We are having to cross, and this is a great call from Bobby's team. don't waste any time you rotate late you are dead yep absolutely especially knowing that there's at least two teams around them so the other squad rotating forward is bella erith and marshy they were the ones who were already on this side of the map but i don't believe they've seen win sanity squad make their move into the lower wing of hospital marshy will get another high ground position to kind of put together a bit of a perimeter but the next circle will force them to have to kindof give up this position eventually and yeah the quick rotation from bobby's team actually gets them once again to the most favorable position on this circle right now. We got a bounty active for Cemento, which is nice. I'm wondering if maybe Winsanity's team, who made a really early rotation as well, who's going to be right underneath this squad essentially, I wonder if that team maybe did some recons earlier, because they made a huge rotation to go to this position on the map rather than play for the downtown side, which is a bit easier. But here they are, stacked on top of each other, as BobbyPlays are in the neighboring buildings, and Yep, Wynn says, oh, there's somebody up there, folks. It's a weird fight to take, not one that we think you can really win. I almost could kill him. They didn't even know I was climbing. Yeah, good call. I don't think whoever was up there. I think it was Marshy even recognized that Wynn was on the top, but maybe that was not actually accurate as Marshy's rejoined the rest of their squad. And the circle will now put us into our final moments of drop number two. By the way, Verdict is still alive. He's the last one on his team and has been for the better part of the last 15 minutes So he's gonna have to eventually start getting involved here. Oh god 13 players up. Yeah. Yeah, we can't like a single kill here for win from earlier Take a look at the top right hand corner folks. Yeah out in the open one piece of cover It's only also also an Arsenal drop which could be used for cover as well Well, this late game is going to get chaotic, and I'm wondering, early rotation could yield you some results if you go to the one piece of cover to play for late game. Otherwise, sometimes coming in late is better. Aerith able to take down one. She was so low. Dark seems like she thought she should have won that fight. Wynn trying to push forward with Jota. Space able to get traded away. Oh, and there's just nowhere to go. Noah just not able to go down the back of that truck. So Team Winsanity able to find some damage. Here's BobbyPlays' squad. Slayer right into the mix. Perfect timing on a third-party situation. And Team WINSANITY will drop. And now it's just down to Aerith's squad, Bobby's squad. And the sole Lone Ranger of Verdict. Last one alive for his team. I mean, these guys are kitted up in the best spot right now. Up on height. At new. I mean everything has gone well for BobbyPlAYS yet again. Trying to go back-to-back. Aerith'S team out in the open having to cross. maybe some smokes to give them a bit of cover here or hopefully bobby misses his shots let's see the bullet hose is down and they are spraying but smokes are in they should make it to a beat a bit of cover the only thing they have to really worry about and they don't have to worry about it too much is this uab in the air it is just shooting fish in a barrel at this point and slayer is going to go get active plate down low it's about all she wrote folks and it is team bobby plays on top he had again as a current verdict is still alive can't count out verdict you can do it where is he at jeff i think you've been watching verdict this entire time he's been having a good time but i don't know if he's going to be able to i don' t know if hes been having a good time bro his heart rate's probably like he's just like i'm just happy to be here type energy right now and yeah deployable cover is there let's not do anything he's got the The defender class got the right class for this. Just think outside. Maybe. Come on, Verdict. He's so dialed. This is huge for everybody. This is preventing of three placement points. You know, Verdigt has already scored seven points for his team with Little B. He's got no kills. Listen, hey, we'll take our seven points right now. We made it all the way to the finish line by ourselves. Get one more kill. Hello. Oh, goodness. We didn't pull the trigger. Yeah, he killed me, dude. Oh, no. I think that was a reaction to getting killed, and so he pulled his capture card out. You can't see this. I don't want to show this. No, no, no. Not for your eyes. My eyes only. Back to back. Slayer in the squad. This time Slayer doing all the heavy lifting and almost repeat of history. Double digits for Slayer and 17 for the team. Woo, buddy. That is a lot of points. Look, I'll tell you. I mean, I know we're two out of five right now, but both times that we've seen the zone get into those final moments, Bobby's squad's making the exact right reads. Oh, yeah. They have put themselves in the best position possible. Map number one, it's all about how they regained after a long stretch of fighting. And now here, you avoid the long stretch of fighting over towards the east side, over towards downtown to get into position around hospital, and it works out for them. It's just patience can sometimes be hard to execute on, but it's a virtue for a reason, and Team Bobby Plays takes advantage of two really solid wins back-to-back. Yeah, some great moments to look back on, of course. Some fun engagements inside, and one of my favorite parts about Kata and BR is some of these CQB fights are so interesting to watch the players dance around each other. The movement tech goes crazy. Some big fights up here with Rez and the crew. Bobby Play's in Slayer. This is part of, well, really when they started to take off. They felt like they had every advantage. They capitalized on some great engagements. They got some third-party fights. And then, like you said, Shep, they rotated to the right position at the right time. This is also an interesting fight back and forth. One, because, you know, we have fun sometimes flaming some of our players. But also, you KnowVay getting cut down there, that changes the entire game. A low-tech squad, they were the team that I think got first bloodied at the very beginning. And they were pretty resilient throughout the course of the fight in downtown. Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of mid-game kills that I think was going to shake up the middle of our leaderboard a little bit. Granted, again, it's still, you know, again drop two out of five, so there's still plenty of time for these teams to kind of lock themselves in. But Air Squad, very consistent in the middle portion of our drop. Same can be said for Noah's team, just in these positions to just chip away, find a couple of the kills. And then eventually, though, you get to the late game, and it's just Bobby's team. Oh, gosh. Yeah, something happened with Verdict's setup. I mean, maybe he was just, like, didn't expect Slayer to be up there so fast, but pulled it back quickly, and wow. Oh, no. 1.19? Yeah. And it's a race for second, I think, like most of our players are talking about. Yeah, it's an 58-point game into a 61-point gain. I believe so. Yeah, that'll do it. It's not that close. Let's check in with the team. Rez and SpiderTip standing by. Hey, guys. Yeah, That's right. I've got Rez alongside me. We didn't want to keep interviewing the Captain Bobby, right? Rez, how's it feeling? You guys are over triple digits. This is insane. Everything's coming together. You know, yesterday we built a lot of confidence first game on with the practice. So I think that's what we're using today to intimidate everybody else. So I mean, it's working. Look, we said Ferg was talking about Slayer, right, but you matched him in kills, especially in that game one. So what's the strats? How are you feeling out there on Verdansk? First, thanks for noticing that. Honestly, it feels good coming back to the game and coming back this map. So I love it. I'm happy to be here. I mean, with my two teammates, of course. Yeah, we can't forget about them. You guys are sticking together. Things are looking good. Keeping Bobby from throwing. How is managing that? Honestly, It's keeping up with Slayer. He's really fast. So keeping up him and then just me and Bobby, being able to be his left and right hand, you know? Yeah, how is that? Have you ever played with Slayor before? No, I've never played with slayer. But I know the type of player that he is. So I can keep up with him to my best ability, I think, yeah. I mean, you clearly are. It's looking really good. Are there any creators that are here in this building that you're most excited to best after these maps? Like to go against? Yeah, to beat him, you know? Probably Lotex, which is like his buddy, you. Yeah, that's right, LoteX. I mean because we hear the creators during the match. They're shouting people out and kind of bodying them. So you heard it here. Lotexx, Rezz is coming for you. Yes. All right. Beware for me. Beware of her. Let's go ahead and get an update from Shift with our bounty leaders. Thank you so much, Rez. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Tiff. Appreciate it. Thank you, Rezz. And, yeah, taking a look at our bounty readers to this point. Little B's excited. Just from getting the fastest first blood to this point. Most E-limbs is up for grabs in the tournament as well as on a single match. And then, of course, highest average placement. And right now it feels like Team Bobby Plays is probably leading in all three of those positions but 10 kills from slayer is going to obviously help on that but little b able to get fastest first blood this time around a little bit extra cash in the pockets and that battle for second range is on yeah some fun moments to look back on helicopters are great for rotations until they get blown to pieces and uh yeah some great first bloods again you know if i'm little b i'd be celebrating too a thousand dollars for first blood is yeah really exciting up you got to remember if you get third place overall in this competition each of you are walking away with two grand yeah yeah yeah a thousand dollars just for getting that first kill is a huge win for your team and it'll set you up well to earn some solid amount of cash today biggest problem right now on the leaderboard is the team at the top they are over triple the amount of points of second place so we've got a one horse race currently but again the pricing does delineate down between second all the way down to seventh yeah i i mean it's just it's it's turning We're going to do a one-horse race. It's going to be a little bit of a dog walk situation. But I know you guys are watching on the live stream. We've got rewards, my friends. We've Got Rewards. You've got to open the game, though. Look for the play video icon on the menu screen, because Cod M is giving away a bunch of rewards, including that exclusive price skin. And I've been told, Ferg, I don't know why we keep giving him all this exclusive information, but Tip is with him with some more reveals for you. Thank you so much, Shift and Goj. It's been really cool. All the viewer awards, people on the timeline, hyping up the price skint. And of course, the celebrations with Verdansk are not over yet. I'm live here with Ferg, fresh from Dubai. Right, how are we feeling? Are you happy to be back in LA? Of course, I'm always happy to do this. Especially when it's a COD Mobile event. COD mobile event plus more to come. If I'm understanding, you're going to keep celebrating verdansk and the ford collaboration with cod m with a special event of course i'm bringing 16 creators to battle it out for ten thousand dollars in a drive into verdansк with the a very special car i mean can you see how beautiful this car is but i feel like i need to like step back a little bit kind of soak it all in i'm surprised that ferg hasn't jumped behind the steering wheel of this car yet have you tried to get in there they wouldn't let me in it are you serious they I wouldn't let the Ferg into the... That's what I'm saying. That's that's what I'm sayin', but it's OK. It's OK now, of course, we do have that event coming. Are there any more details that you can share about it? You know what? I will give you all more information on November 20th. But for now, you can keep up with this event because there's $40,000 on the line. You heard him. November 20, more information coming into the Drive and Differed Dance series. Guys, back to you. We love... We just give Ferg all the stuff. We give them the keys, not to the car, but there's another event coming, man. This is exciting stuff. We've not only got $40,000 here, but $10,000 later. It's going to be a blast. I love it, man, we're just driving into Verdansk, literally. Love that. Love that energy. Drop three coming up. Yeah, I will say this much. Bobby's team has been close to being eliminated a couple of times. It's just not being able to get that final elimination. We're not winning in the Gulag. That's been the big difference maker right now, and I think it's just one of those, like, maybe a team needs to get a little bit aggressive and just try to grief them at the beginning try to get this tournament a little bit tighter because right now it is a one horse race listen i want to be very clear if there is any chance of anybody else winning this the entire lobby needs to come together and find slayer and take him down he's been the point man and like res mentioned they're just trying to keep up with him and they're doing a great job of that by the way if you can slow slayer down the entire team comes screeching to a halt though so we'll see maybe it lies on low texas shoulders to get really aggressive and take down his buddy down something we need something because right now it is just an absolute walk away so could be just a battle for second at this point in time but it's still a little bit on the early side i say a little bit because the gap is so wide well here's the other problem first place but also we've got a lot of bounties right first one little b is already celebrating about that but average placement matters and right now we're averaging first so as we go flying into game number three i'll be looking to see if anybody could take down the team not only in the kill point category but also the placement points my goodness brand new plane line we are going southwest to the northeast and who knows where we will land but could see some other areas of verdansk we haven't seen yet like military base like true maybe somebody stretches to dam who knows but we got a heli out in the airport down near hangars that's where you and i like to drop see if anybody goes for that hangar three for dale gotta have the dale energy okay well so we've got three squads landing in around, if not in Superstore. Bobby's team in particular already there. And Lotex's team is there. So they've been kind of fringe battling to this point. But we'll see how... Oh, sorry, this is Lotext's team over by TV Station. So they're going to have a different battle with someone else up here. Slayer and LittleB's team are the ones battling at Superstore+. Yeah, this Is the same draft LoteX has been liking. They won TV last time, you know, not without trouble. But, oh, look, let's see what we found. Some solid ground loot. Going to back up on that one though. That is a nice little third-person perspective peek on that doorway right there, I'll tell you that. Yeah, I was talking to Noah, he's loving swapping back and forth between the perspectives. Yeah, fuck this kill. And getting a chance to play both sides of this. Here on Verdansk, testing it out and now in the competition. But sounds like one of the teams in the other part of this map. Maybe they're fighting at the same time as these two teams are fighting. And it's actually a first knock landing yet again on Coscript. This is kind of a go for broke strategy that Coscript is going for. They've been one of the first teams out every time. And they're trying to take down a really strong player. And they were able to do that. Vague finally getting his lick back. Lotex down and sent to the gulag as well. Yeah, both teams a bit split up on this moment. But Vague comes into the battle a little bit late. And I think he actually saw LoteX rotate into that ancillary building. So really good kind of catch by surprise. wins the up close battle and now it's just down to finding one more around tv station before you have dominated it and won it on the other front we kind of saw it in the kill for a little bit bobby's team did clean up the majority of superstore pushed out that last player in towards storage as little b and co-script will find each other in the goal and little b will whiff on the final shots oh and we'll have to be purchased back and he can't believe it oh my god okay correct me if i'm wrong yeah we're back we're back i i'm pretty positive that little b is going to the gulag to try to play for kills i'm like 90 positive somebody can correct me in chat but little b should not be in the gula right now and he keeps finding himself there first i'm not sure what he's thinking but that time that did not pay off coward oh man so co script back into the mix We'll join his colleagues at TV station. What is happening to BellaFox and co.? I see vehicle kills in the feed. We've got a ton of disruption here against Aerith. Now Stabilize is going to try to play together as a team. Hospital pretty hot. They've got to bounty down as well. Somebody with Defender on the inside. We're going to stick this res and get everybody back on their feet. This is the smart move when you've got the time and you know where your opponents are. Pick up that res and nice pickup on the outside. bounty confirmed as well so some solid amount of cash you can take a look at the top left hand corner screen you saw there briefly all of them well past 10k in cash this would be great if they're able to utilize all that cash to get the UAVs they need to keep hunting down this Noah Sunday squad if this is a middle of the leaderboard battle right now between these two teams at hospital currently a three versus two situation but it looks like both teams are kind of respecting one another kind of now the real love through marshy in a perfect spot downs Wants to get the second, able to get the first couple of shots in, and Space and Noah will fall and be taken care of. Big win on Hospital, and now a ton of space to loot as the circle is also inside of this position, and the focus likely moving back up towards the top side at Storage Town, where Bobby's team is finding themselves once more trying to chase down the C team that continues to be in pieces on their drop strategy. And again, with Verdansk joining COD M. This is such a classic Verdansque play style that Bobby is doing. They've been dropping Superstore. They've being looting up. They've be getting some solid Arsenal drop weapons. Getting what they need. And then they grab a bounty and go flying at their opponents. And Metalcore unfortunately stood no chance in this one. Separated as a solo. Just trying to hang on while his teammates are likely in the gulag. They pick up that one. They pick off the bounty. And they've got another ready to rock. And they're moving quickly. I think you heard Slayer make the call. Let's move up to airport. There are two other teams that are up there. A third that's over towards the hangars. So it could get a little bit saucy up here as well. And yeah, they're chasing down the bounty contract that they have on Nate right now. So they could be walking into a bit of a four-way fight, depending on what this F team decides to do. They're on the east side of this circle in particular. Yeah, so we'll see how things unfold as Noah dark Are on the top side of airport and then there's the wind sanity's team that has may on the contract So this will at least be a three-way fight depending on what the team at hangers decides to do Good shout Dark Nick's trying to listen to audio cues. Here's something do they know when sanity's already zipped up whole teams here I don't think they see her. Knock, knock. Is anybody home? Yeah, I think maybe scared away. Space came flying in. And it scampered as Wynn is actually on the hunt right now. Firesail also about to come into play. Could possibly make a decision for our teams to give each other a little bit of space. But instead, Dark will be found and dealt with quickly. But look again. You've got Bobby's team on the outside. now very quickly closing the gap trying to fulfill this bounty contract on the Ney who is still up and active here space is nearby but Slayer will be the first one to grab contact lots of damage on the win but does get the recall back as Bobby and Rez are still not here yet yeah and that's the value of the rewind and again caught him class abilities all those perks are so valuable for some of these engagements Slayer playing front man able to use the rewind get back to safety after getting some damage down. Looking a little low on ammo here if we are space. I think that's two shots in the finnick. Good luck. And right now though Bobby's team is full focused on their bounty so space should be able to scamper out of this one and stay alive. I can't imagine Slayer turns and finds space here considering their focus is all on win and nay. Well the chase is still on and active and that F team is starting to make their way a little closer in towards airport there's a guy here in the building on the way yeah and you can hear it reds is calling i think i hear something and slayer says yeah you sure do they're on top of the parking garage so opportunity to potentially pick apart these stray pieces of noah's team here yeah this is when you've got a bounty active and you've gotta team hey remember airport you know and something we've seen a thousand times airport's an interesting poi because yes you're in mostly the center of the map you've Got a lot of room to work in terms of rotations but it's It's also wide out in the open if you leave the building. So Noah's team is kind of paying to this position, and now Slayer's getting really aggressive, does rewind to safety. He's going to be able to plate back up before entering back into this engagement, but perfect time to rewind to get back to his team so they can all channel this together. Yeah, Slayer is just like, let's just go, let't just go. I'm back to full, no problem. Packs come through, armor broken. Nice shots from Slayer. Space will drop quickly. Parachute's also seen over towards the other side of the parking garage. That's Noah who floated in. So as space is dropped, when Sanity, Jokesta, and Ney are still active and alive, it just comes down to who sees who first, and where do they actually eventually meet. A lot of bodies missing from the map, but everybody's still in the game for the most part, missing a few singles on teams. We've got all seven of our teams still alive. I'm sure there's a lot of folks in the Gulag right now battling it out as their opponents are entering the Gulog here on Main. We'll swing over to Lotex, see where they're at. Slowly going to be joining this fight as well, hearing those shots and seeing that UI kind of proc up. They're like, hey, we should come third-party this. And they've got UAV in this guy as well. So they know it's two full teams. One up on high and one here on the mid-level. Slayer is not missing a shot, and it is paying. There's no wonder everybody's afraid of this guy. My goodness, it's not even close. We Incinerate his team, unfortunately, cut down as Slayer and BobbyPlays and Rez continue to run away with this tourney but sneaky sneaky yeah low techs might get paid and he well low tex is seeing all this looting going on right now just comes down to does he decide to drop on it and he will able to find the first couple of shots has to rewind back towards safety didn't like the look of that secondary fight coming through that was slayer and bobby who were on that main terminal level jhc is still on the out looking in slayers is going to go high and once again absolutely melt low tech who's been the kill leader on this squad jh she's able to find one but slayer turns to find low techs and now has an opportunity to turn and finish off jhc this kid is dominating yeah i think we found the meta everybody knows what weapons to use my goodness slayer dominating the lobby now with eight you might be able to land playing with the utmost confidence and well earned too and winning out on top of airport is going to give them a ton of real estate to work with yes not in the zone let me grab this but you've got a great position to peek over the top look down on the rest of the map and figure out where to rotate to especially with the amount of cash that they're able to play with my goodness they're gonna have uavs for days for late game ah res versus win sanity and the gulag decent weapons to fight with res taking her time looking for info first able to find the info now finally over towards the middle win i don't know if he's seen her yet we'll switch sides with the gula log and res look at the first couple of Shots in, damage out, and Red wins it cleanly. And she is pumped about that. I want it, I want It, I Want It, I Want it. I love it. That win, I think, classic Gulag fight. Again, so nostalgic in many ways, but nuanced for a lot of our players. Winning the Gulag in the shower sometimes takes a lot of patience. This is anything but. Yeah, we've got a free kill. Let's grab it. Let's go. Let's get our helicopter and keep on moving. Welcome to Verdansk, ladies and gentlemen. Helicopters. And apparently air superiority is extremely important for this squad. Where are you going? Nowhere. I love it. The amount of times I have flown a helicopter under a dance and tried to make sushi with my opponents, it's just so fun. That was the kill rate strap back in the day. Another one, by the way. That's 9 now for Slayer trying to beat his own kill record. Let's be very clear how much cash they have. Slayer is showing $52,000 by himself. Bobby over $30,000 as well. And rez just coming back from that gulag win. So they've got everything they need to win this map right now. They sure do. Ney is kind of caught between both pieces of Team Bobby plays. A couple of shots will connect for Bobby. Bobby shoots. Bobby damages. Bobby is currently winning. I mean, every reveal. Yeah, nice job there. Nice. Oh, she killed herself. Wait. Hey, that is a great way to make sure this team doesn't get any extra points i was just saying it's on the launcher i was like what are we doing with this thing there's no heli up top oh we're we're committing a little bit of yeah yeah a little self-damage that's it that's a tough one it's a weird spot to be in but hey bobby doesn't get credited for the kill that's three last points for the team that's already well beyond everybody else playing for second but at the same time a lot of cash changing hands seventy five hundred dollars for the teams that's able to secure a second place regardless of how far away that first place position is there's still a lot of cash on the line so all of these kills all these eliminations really important and looks like vague boy liam and coast grip finally having a solid map they'll get to new pretty safely under a low side of super story they're actually just chasing their corey who maybe thought they were a bit more free had a bit More real estate to work with and luckily the reload is going to allow this player to get the gas station and hide for a moment but but I think they've got player advantage. They're going to swing on this. Own the top side of the zone. There is a second team, though, nearby, or should I say a third team nearby. He's by himself. That's over towards the left by the pool house. And on the deeper portion of this battle, as they get closer and closer to storage, that's where Team Bobby plays is. So the chase was on to Dab. He's currently found a little bit of sanctuary in the forest over towardsthe backside of the poolhouse, but Aerith's team is watching all of this. Bobby's teamis wondering if they should try to follow up for another kill. And this final circle kind of in between Boneyard and Storage will have a really interesting mix, especially if this helicopter could stay up and active because they're going to be able to find everything while Aerith, Marci, and Bella. That's, again, another classic rotation. Really well done to do it early rather than late. Even with a helicopter, you're not fully safe, especially with some of the weaponry that our players have. That's close on me, close on my foot. Whoa, that is a huge fight. The Rewind's not gonna save him here, he's just gonna pull him back to just a few moments ago. Shotgun in hand though, he is low, he can't quite get the full. There's one, and the Rewinding's enough to just get him back behind cover, but Coastgrip's able to knock him. This is a HUGE fight. Rez and BobbyPlays need to get cut down here for the sake of our sanity in the lobby. But Bobby, on a tear, finds the right angle, gets one! Another team from the right side, or is it Coastgripp? Co-script on the flank, Lotex and Dab are here to save the day. It is a two team versus one and Rez is going to be last alive for the squad. She wants blood but LoteX sniffs it out, Rez will drop as she was playing for the finish onto Vague. Lotexx able to follow up onto Co-Script and the timing for this squad had been perfect but now all of a sudden there's that helicopter insert for Aerith, Marshy and Bella trying to clean up the last little bit of damage and they will find another elimination one more to grab it's low techs the last one left alive and he's gonna be found on the rooftop errors with the elimination that's the squad Elim coming through and Ares team survives oh my goodness the chaos in storage town did not wait to the end zone stuck well the iron is hot great third party really well done now jobs not done did you all forget the gulag We're not in the endgame yet, so BobbyPlays still a chance to stay alive. Rezz has already been here, so it's going to be Slayer and BobbyPlAYS having to win their ones. Looks like Slayer wins his. Bobby needs to win his now. Playing this nice and patient. This is how you play Showers. Play for a small advantage, a moment where you can shoot before your opponent can get their gun up. If you dance around a bit too much like Wynn was earlier, you're going to get gunned down here. Bobby doing a great job of protecting his space. One of these two players is going to have to get it. Oh, no, it's Vague. Whoever got more aggressive there ended up winning it. Vague barrel stuffs Bobby and cuts him down. I'll tell you what, though. If Vague loses that battle, he needs to reconsider what his career has been to this point. I mean, we're talking about a guy who's played CODM championships the majority of his career. You can't be losing to Bobby plays. Hey, at least they weren't the first team out this game, though, That's facts. That's very true. Follow-up fight, though Dark Bella Aerith. Now, all of a sudden, in the midst of a really, really poorly timed fight, and the bounty is in on the DarkNixonCo, up and over, Marshy trying to find the damage, can't quite tally the kill. Now, in some troubles, the camera's broken, and meanwhile, the zone is going to force them to move very quickly, as they're really on the fast side of it at the moment. Yeah, NoahSendai doing everything he can to win, and he's able to get Bella down. It's a different team. And, yeah, I think Noah's saying that there's a couple teams in the area. We need to clean this one up quickly to get to new. This is, yeah. This is a brutal fight. Actually, for both teams. This rotation is going to be so difficult. Hey, this is one way to win the engagement. Set up the turret. Let's rock and roll. Don't come up my stairs, says DarkNyx. I love it. He is getting tagged, I believe, by Marshy. Yeah, wild window peek, maybe. I'll say. But Marshy and Aerith, they've got the helicopter available to them. In the meantime gonna find vague after that gulag win. No problem there. They're in a really good spot. That's your team see Slayer is still alive after that Gulag win and downs one keeping Bobby's team alive There's no way they regained actually it does look like there's an arsenal drop in zone I have a feeling Slayer's gonna be fully kitted for this last engagement here as we enter into the endgame. Aerith on the flank, able to come in, clean up Noah Sunday and Dark Nyx, big pick up and bounty contract confirmed. Nice medic util there to help out in the rotation into new, again, this is a very late rotation. And with that, the biggest question is who's going to be holding them? Slayer cannot 1v4 this lobby. Marshy's gonna drop to the gas. Aerith's gonna to drop to gas. Now it's a one versus two. It's you two versus Slayer. This is it. You two versus slayer. Metal and Verdict versus Slayer. Make sure to use everything you guys have. I got Slayer for 1v2. I trust in my GOAT, Metalcore, and Verdic. They can play this slow. They've been in the in-game a thousand times. There's no reason to rush it. The only thing that cannot happen is you getting isolated into two 1v1s. Play this slow, play cover. They've got this. He's got the loadout. he wants though and he's got the info they don't see him he's gonna get the first shots out armor broken onto one looking for the follow-up to finish there it is still has half a plate to work with resets gets the thirst 1v1 info game shots come through and slayer just does not miss no way dude oh what did i say could not happen two isolated 1v1s play cover perfectly this guy is different he is getting more kills every single round 13 by himself in that one what in the world bobby can't believe it he's like dude you're insane bobby's already counting his bills he's counting his benjamins right now and he's saying thank goodness the randomness of the team generation has paid off for bobby plays yet again unbelievable oh man this guy three games three wins that's an easy math also i'm pretty sure bobby dropped a donut that he did I ain't going to lie. To be honest with you, I would too. Here's a quick look back at some of the replays from that last match. It was a very fun one to watch for many different reasons. Of course, Ares' team has done a fantastic job. I know we've been hyping up this Slayer roster with BobbyPlays and Rez the entire time, and for good reason. But Ares's team did a great job third-partying here. And in StorageTown, it was a really fun three-team battle that could have gone any direction, but Slayer getting knocked first Really allowed Aerith's team to come out on top across of course Coastgrip was in the area as well, but really fun one tip You're kind of standing in the wings watching that one I mean we saw Slayer win again, but any big takeaways as we wrap up the highlight package here. Oh Just kidding. We've got over here with an interview. Little B, my guy What the heck? How are we getting 1v2'd by Slayer in the endgame? I mean, I chased the 1v1 fight versus Vague, and then when we got the kill, we were just like, oh, that should be it. But Slave just came out of nowhere and caught me off guard when I was away from my team. And then I left my team on a 4-shot 2v1. But yeah, that was on me. That was on be. We had your picture up while we were kind of establishing that 2v10. And I could see it and hear it in your voice. You were like, I want to just take you out of your position, take your controls over. You're trying to coach him through the whole thing. Like, don't do this. Do that. Sentry turret's up. Everything's going. but i feel like the panic got the best of them it's all good i mean i i trust my teammates i want you know i don't want a certain one they're playing and i'm dead so no backseat gaming let them let them cook you know now we got to talk strategy we're through three drops verdict has been alive i think it's one of the last players but is maybe dealing five damage around it feels like are we changing the strat up or what no i think we're doing the same strat it's just because like slayer's team it's a god team uh we're honestly just going for the bony uh the bounties I'm trying to mean metal was trying to go like hot drop get some couple kills and gulag and on hot drop maybe sabotage some teams and it metals out no Verdicts out there by himself just getting cash and getting bring us back in. Yeah, we saw that play happening the split spawn I like the idea. Hopefully it works out for you But thank you so much for the time best of luck as we finish things out cuz our leaderboard is ready I think we know who's on top but the battle in the middle becomes a little bit more interesting with Aerith squad in a position to find a lot of those extra eliminations. Low tech's co-script right there in the mix. So we're getting to the tail end of this competition with a lot on the line still. Little B's team needed to do some work, but still in the mixed as we've got Tiff ready to go with Jeff to talk more about what we can expect coming up. Really cool hearing the update from Little B on their strategy, but earlier in the broadcast today we were asking for those of you that had chat questions and wanted to kind of ask some things. Right. So we grabbed Jeff. We got him back in the hot seat. Jeff, we'll just we'll go ahead and dive straight into it. Right. We'll kick it off with question number one. Can you add environmental effects and weather like in Warzone? Hmm. Yeah. So I don't have any news right now immediately about that. But adding things like weather, you know, coming to Kodam, it is something that we are looking at to more ways to, you know, improve immersion, those types of things. but we don't want to sacrifice performance at the same time. So it is something we're looking at, but I don't have anything to announce immediately about that. But, you know, keep an eye out. It is something that we're definitely looking at. It's cool to hear that you guys are considering it, right? Because that is kind of fun. And then I'll just go ahead. Sure. We'll keep going, right. Will we see the return of Battle Royale Prop Hunt? I love Prop Hunt. I do. So this is fun. Me too, actually. I love some of those, you knows, LTM's like Prop Hunt and, you know, Plunder and things like that. And so, you know, overall with our commitment to Battle Royale and our continued updates, you know, there'll be plenty of opportunities to bring, you know, some of those existing limited time modes. There's also a lot of brand new ones that we're working on as well for the future. Can't share anything, can you? Not right now, but, you know, keep watching. There's definitely going to be some new stuff coming. I'm excited. I love when you guys start kind of, like, leaking some things and the next thing you know three months down the line, I'm like, this is what Jeff was talking about. So hopefully you guys are excited about that answer. we do have question number three. Okay. Will there be further changes to movement in VR in the future? We've got a lot of movement demons out there. Yeah, okay. So everything with movement and gameplay right now, this is just the beginning. So there's plenty of other changes that are still being tested right now and will be coming with future updates. And we're keeping an eye on feedback from players to see how things shape up. You know, I know that, you know, a lot players are talking about things that they see in some of our test servers. Yeah, you know, and not not all of those come at one time, you know, so a lot of times we put things like that out, we test them, we iterate on it, you know, we try it again before we actually bring it to the game like full time. So there's still a lot of stuff coming, things that we're still trying out, testing, refining it, making sure we get it right before it goes live into the into the game full time, have some of the creators been like catching you and trying to pull you aside, let you know what they think. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And I love getting that feedback from them. I mean, these are some of our most dedicated players for sure, especially in real time. I love it. And what's great, there is a new map, right? But what about optimization and storage? There's always those players that this is in the forefront of their mind. Yeah. So we're always making regular updates to optimization in general. And that can be things like new maps, you know, new modes, but also, you know, better ways to control, you know, the storage options on your phone and the overall footprint that the game is taking up. And I know that this is an ongoing effort. We're always working on it, especially to making sure that we're supporting, you know, a wide range of devices, you know across the spectrum, you know, really around the entire world. You know, we're a global game, you know, and we know that we have a wide range of device is, you know, in different people have different kinds of data plans and requirements across the world. So you were always looking for ways to optimize that and make it easier for players to be able to jump in and play. So this is an ongoing effort. And with every release of the game, we're always doing things to try to make it easier for players to get in and play. Yeah, I could appreciate that. There's a lot of factors to consider. You're right, you just named it all the devices, all the different players and their preferences. All you can do is just keep on trying. Well, Jeff, thank you so much for joining me here on the couch to talk over some of these Q&As from chat. Never know what you're going to get when you ask chat. You're like, give us your questions. I thank you for the questions. I really appreciate it. I'm glad to answer any questions that are coming in. Heck yeah, and I'm sure they're going to keep on coming. They're going want to track you down, but I feel like we've got to get back to it. I believe we have something called the sounds of Verdance that I want to throw it to. oh my gosh just three of them brother bro why didn't we stay together damn damn liam bro liam got that's crazy work bro holy that's actually huge he's low he's one of them's healing up okay well push the other one he just he just healed up he just held up you got it you got it poor verdict poor guy nice oh she killed herself all right well it's been an action-packed day and when you look at that big check twelve thousand dollars for first place and even though yet get some medals to go alongside the cash and it's a More bragging rights. But at this point, is there any team in this building that can unseat BobbyPlays, Rez, and the man, the myth, the legend Slayer, guys? I mean, let me put it this way. I'm no mathematician, but I love a little cast. You are, though. You are. I love little cast for that. You're cranking numbers. I'm a big fan. I don't think so. I really don't. I think that check was too big to fit in the camera frame, and I think I know who's taking it home. However, there's still a lot of money to play for, and you never know. These last two rounds, you could see a team like Noah Sunday. Frankly, you could see a team like Aerith getting really aggressive and just flip this whole thing upside down. Look, you asked me earlier before we cut to Schiff's interview, you're like, is there anything that's catching your eye? It's Aerith and the team's consistency. They are constantly putting themselves in such powerful positions. I'm just ready to see them clean up that end game. And honestly, they really haven't been in a true one versus one versus Bobby's team. It's always been a third or fourth party situation. And then there was Verdict lurking around that first map scene. You really never know what you're going to get, But for those of you watching at home, we do have viewer rewards. So lock it in. Make sure you're racking all of that time in. I think it's like 90 minutes to get the coveted price skin that people have been talking about. Casual. Log it in, get your time in! That's quick. We've only got two more games left. You better be watching! Don't close that tab, come on! How are we only at two games left? It's been so fun. The vibes in the room are electric. I love hearing the creators shout over one another. That's mostly Ferg, by the way. He's pretty loud. That watch party is going crazy, huh? I don't know why they decided to put Ferg in, like, the most, like acoustically booming side of the stage over here. He's got three walls, some tires, like a ghillie suit that he can just echo off of. Oh, he's locked. I mean, look at him right here. He's locked, and he is loud. He's passionate, too, which makes me excited for his event. That's what I love about these types of events, too. Is that not only do we have all of the competitors, we've also got our watch party on site, and they're all streaming. So if you want to watch a specific POV, folks, You definitely can you know all of these streamers you love all of the streamers are making great content, and I'm getting word Yeah, I think our play is flying which means our players are dropping onto the map. It'll be map folks second-to-last Let's get into it and look at this line It's the plane lines we love to see and it is going to get very aggressive I want to see the circle and prison. Oh, I'm in. Done. Northwest plane, southeast finish. Let me get some of that. I'm going to be fair. This is the thing I really like about seeing the wingsuit, is that you can go a mile out of the plane, no matter where it is. And we're actually going to get two teams that train. We're in a melee battle between Little B and Noah. Are we serious? In, like, the middle of no man's land. They must have predetermined that. Definitely. Listen, if you know anything about Noah and little B, they have played with each other and against each other a ton. They're good friends. I think they put that $1,000 on the line on a melee battle. On a Hunger Games battle in the woods. The cornucopia is there. Hey, that's $1.000 to Noah Sunday, by the way. Unreal. That's so funny. First blood bounty in map number four going to Noah. I hope we have a full replay of that actual battle because that was old school Spartan warfare. Yeah, you send out your best warrior. We'll send out no That's so funny We're correct a little B was trying to meet people in the gulag then he's gonna be there yet again So I'll date it there. I think there's a little bit of trouble Vakes team up and over and whoa that was sneaky I don't know how much the audience can hear. I'm going to be totally honest. I need to pull up the YouTube and see because Ferg is screaming at the players. I'm sure you guys can hear it. He did just movement burger that entire thing. Yeah. Yeah, Vayne can hear him. Yeah. That was pretty potato. I'm not going to lie. That was funny. He just liked me for real. It was the right idea. It was a right idea! So Aerith will be chased a touch although the longer this cat-and-mouse game goes the more I think Aerith is gonna think that she could just turn on vague at any moment in time Yeah Vegas even called like I'm so bad bro, like I got away, how do I beef that Looks like yeah, it's grab vehicle and just gonna drive away as well. Yeah, that's a missed opportunity That's three points that could have gone your way could have changed this leaderboard entirely We'll pay attention to Coast Group. We'll play attention to this team where they're at in the leaderboard and see if three points change up the thousands of dollars that fourth, third, or vice versa, fourth to fifth could have been for those single three points. Who knows? Well, you see, Bobby's team has a bounty onto space who is over on this opposite side of airport, not quite in the traffic controller tower, which is thankful. I mean, if you're Bobby's, you just don't want to be fighting against that. Yeah, we haven't seen any ATC campers. There's really not room for that right now. You've got to be playing for points. Also, Shift, we've got a little preview of the circle. I don't know if production can show it, but you were basically right. We had a plane line that was only northwest, and our zone is as far east as you can just about go. First zone is already cutting this thing in half, as it looks like Bobby is cutting his opponents in half on main. Another freebie. Dark Nick's drops. Dude, I'm here for this. Yeah, you're right. It's a fully eastern circle. Prison is still involved. If it goes all the way to the southeast, I'm here for the chaos. Listen, I don't think this is a hot take. I'm a huge Prison fan. Here's a look at it. Shut up, production. It's not a little bit of a hot tak. No, no, no. Prison's great. It's still a little hot take! Yeah, east side of the map, we've got a couple teams. Again, this C2, C3, they've been over in Lumber pretty much every single game. They've been playing this far eastern side of map every single single game, they want their real estate, and they've got it. And it's going to be a vehicle rotation game for a lot of these other teams. Likely going to see, I would assume to see Bobby's team grab this heli that's out at hangars. And they'll be able to play from there while Lotex tries to win out yet again in TV station. They'll grab the heli just outside if they win that engagement for the big rotation. This is actually a little bit interesting. I mean, Bobby's Team is still playing for that bounty contract. So they're still chasing a littlebit. But I love that look, by the way, that side-by-side. here for that for the rest of these maps just to kind of tally where everyone is and like you mentioned this battle over well possible battle towards tv station will give some good controlling positions on the top side of this zone like that buffer between tv and all the crossback switchback areas is massive so so it looks like marshy's team again this is what eris marshy bella fox they've been doing every single map they grab a helicopter early and they have so much room to work around this map. But it looks like what they've marked is actually a recon. So this will help you get some info on where the endgame will be. Frankly, I think if they actually decide to do this contract, it may have just marked that for the sake of marking this area of the map that they want to go to. But I think these recons are worth doing. I agree. Getting that intel, especially when the zone looks like it does, you don't want to get out of prison unless the zone is going to end down there. You really want to situate yourself well in farmland or lumber. Ooh, a little power coming through. Low tech, simple to miss the first, but does connect on the following. shotgun shots when sanity will be knocked teammates nearby thirst will come through now it's down to finishing off this last little bit of a battle able to find one but does get dropped simultaneously so low techs will come away with two that will be enough for likely the res to come into play as well but low tech wants to make sure that they are completely full before they run into maybe jokester who is on the other side of the garages cooking up nades And that will not land so it'll be this continual 1v2 from here if jokester decides to battle for it Arsenal airdrops coming in quite shortly helicopter near Sunday and space a single motorcycle We want to go from there now, I think space may be having a few issues It's been one of those days For this team this thing moves quick another great way to rotate around but not a lot of cover jokes It's gonna get found here surely Yeah, you can see dab and low techs are just trying to figure out where exactly he is And there you go low Texas able to give the comm he's in the back side of the play here, so Fergus even call in Portland just get in there deal with it But jokes able to find the first good damage under the second But the shotgun just a little bit too strong up close and personal and Jokesta will be finished off having to play Regain and the Gulag. Hey, it's great patience, again, you know, in events like this sometimes, especially when you're low techs and you feel extremely confident, usually you just swing on that, which is what you're going to see, but great job playing together as a duo. It ends up paying off. It's worthwhile doing because Joksta was ready for one. Dab went down. Take a look at these Arsenal airdrops. It's going to be great for Bobby, Slayer, and Rez, and they've actually four go. No, they do have the heli, so, yeah, everything's good for them. They've got everything they need and more rotated and play for another win. Reminder, they're three for three. Their average placement is first. Good math. They are far ahead of everybody else, so we'll see what they're able to do. Let's check in with SpiderTiff, who's going to check in with Ferg and see how that watch party's going. Yeah, so we were talking about just how loud it was over on this side of the room, and Ferg, of course, is doing a watch party. I had to grab him, catch a little interview. Is the action panning out the way you thought it would? I mean, Bobby Play's team is looking fantastic. You called it? Of course I called it. They have Slayer on their team. He's literally the BRL MVP for the year. So he's the best player in the world. It's going as expected. Now here's the deal. I also kind of caught wind of you creating a draft. You were like, if I could have picked these teams, I would have placed these people here. Where were you throwing Slayer? I would be throwing Slager with, not to throw any heat around, but I'd probably pick Dabbed of going that team. And maybe like a Winsanity or maybe like Abelafox. Fox like you know at least make it seem like Slayer 1v3 or we could just put him in to his team by himself and Make him play solo cuz he essentially is anyway. He did get a win, right? He broke down a 1v2. It looked a little easy from that POV Yes, it was very easy You heard it. It was easy. Okay, so you gave us your script earlier You said it was like third place low tech second for Noah Sunday, Bobby We won't talk about that because obviously they're Bobby and they're looking good. They're slaying What are we feeling about Noah's team there? It's not in second. You know what? That's probably the biggest disappointment of the entire tournament. I used to compete against Speece, so I know he's been really good at battle royales in the past. So, yeah, big disappointment. I was also kind of disappointed by Lotex. Don't want to put him on gas too bad. You do keep talking about him. Yeah, he's my boy, you know, and he's also on the MVP ladder. He's just not been able to adapt on a LAN environment. It is what it is. But he's being pulling it back this last game, so he might end up second place. the biggest surprise so far though has to be marshy like he has been frying and obviously he's a multiplayer world champion inside of call of duty mobile but we haven't ever seen him play in br and to be honest he might have to make that switch yeah i was talking about it because they were asking me like just like what is the one thing that you've noticed i'm like eric marshy they're always in a really good spot in that end game any words of wisdom for them to maybe get a win i'd say let marshy be the igl i know he's little bit shy but i think he's got the the best brands of the bunch when it comes to VR. He's a peacock. You got to let him fly. All right, well, thank you so much, Ferg. Get back to the watch party. You're crushing it, and boys, back to you. Thank you so, much, Tiff, for great words, as for the usual. Also, fighting words for Insanity in that place. My goodness, golly, get called out on Main. But in the meantime, on Main, we just saw Bella Fox win a very influential Gulag win. It looks like Noah Sunday's going to try to do the same. Yeah, that was Jokesta with the slide of the century, but met beautifully. Aerith versus Noah. This is a big battle for that leaderboard position to try to get their team set up. I think Aerith has lost Noah, though, in the midst of the showers. Seven seconds left. Yeah. Going to have to make their way in towards the middle, and Noah's already set up, so now he's on the capture objective, and that's about as easy as it gets. Loser, loser. That is the most low-hanging fruit trash talk I've ever heard. Noah, how old are we, bro? That's crazy. Gosh, that's some playground banter right there. That is also Noah Sunday, though, who knows Verdansk and the Gulag showers very, very well, and that's not a flame to him of being in the Gulag all the time. It's more of he's just played a lot of hours on VerdansK, and now he's going to be able to do that here in Katim as well, so that is well done playing the map. Stadium going to be in the midst of our final circle, but a lot of our squad still lurking around farmlands, lumber, a little bit of the north side of prison as Little B just snaps, finds Marshy and in the kill feed you also see Lotex able to connect on to Bella, so the buy is going to come back through to get Metalcore into the mix here, and it could potentially be building towards one of the better games for Little B's team really so far this event. They also have so much cash, Little B is showing $100,000 by the way, so feeling pretty confident there to be able to buy back teammate as well as everything else they would need self-provides, UAVs and more. Good look at Lote Lotex on five, solid rep thus far. Got the heli to work with as well. I think the biggest question right now is zone. It has actually moved back towards center a little bit. So looking like downtown, looking like stadium could be a fun way to end this one. I think our helicopter teams will be very excited about a stadium ending, having high ground here, but Bobby Plays and Co. on a tear, and they've got a ton of damage down. The Ferriga is kind of quarterbacking from afar, saying, LoteX, take that helicopter, go land on him. Middle of a third-party situation. Why not? Little B is going to drop off screen. That is Lotex, who does find that squad just outside of Lumber. Meanwhile, though, the chase is on as Verdict will fall. Lotext's team is good, but the circle is going to put some pressure on them, especially if they go in to the middle of this fight between Slayer, Bobby, and Rez, and Coast Trip Squad, who is, again, moving further and further up the map in towards Lumber on this chase. Yeah, this is a ton of damage, and they're going to get held out here. Look at Noah Sunday's team. A lot of yelling behind us of the engagement. Oh, no, it looks like Metalcore and Boy Liam. I don't know what engagement they got into, but it sounded like something crazy on the back end of this one, maybe a crash vehicle or otherwise. Again, Noah's team trying to hold some of these late rotations, or at the very least make sure they clear the backside. They've got a ping down. I think there's somebody still deep in the gas. Yeah, Dark Nyx looks like that she had a view on somebody, but now we go to where the main battle is and Slayers just doing it with the melees. Yeah, that's Vaig. They had to make sure that Vaig knew that there was no chance he was winning that one. But guess what? In the middle of the BM, Lotex has arrived! Wait. Oh my, they were trolling. Self-revive pops. LoteX? There's no way. And Slayer's just playing with his food right now, plating back up before he takes the gank! Oh! Lotex! On the real, this Slayer guy is truly him. Another great snap. I mean, I don't know if that was LoteX looking for Slayer before finishing, but that self-rest coming through was so pivotal to getting Slayer a little bit more time to breathe and get back into the mix. And now all of a sudden, jhc and dabbing trying to finish this one off. Damage is out for jhC, but doesn't have a clean look at it. Slayer comes out, finds the pick, and what looked to be potentially a collapse finally on the team Bobby plays, turns against Dab and Lotex. And Bobby's squad once more is continuing to rack up kills. I have casted hundreds of Verdansk events. Never have I cast a Verdansks event here in CODM, but we may be witness to something As we see Reds fall, we may be witness to something that I've never seen in my life. There is a chance that this team could go perfect throughout five. Looking good for it. Looking crazy good for him. Circle continues to zero in on the top side of Stadium. It will pull downtown mostly out of the circle. And once more, put that retention river into play again. So we saw the first zone end on that bridge where the Arsenal is very well could come into play once more But for now, it's all about who can win this position on the northwest side of this existing circle That is the battle for stadium There's a revive fight on the yet. And though they know later is alone Res losing that gulag is great news for the rest of the lobby as they will have disadvantage in this engagement, but Slayer is Making sure that that disadvantage turns into an advantage as he's able to get the kill He's also able to get the buyback, I believe, or is very close to it. Nice movement tech to stay alive. Buy station nearby is huge for him, and it looks like anybody trying to get involved is just getting punished for even showing face. Yeah, and this is one of the only buy stations that's going to be available in this final circle. Noah just playing over the top of the barricades, trying to keep Slayer from purchasing whatever he wants, but it's just not enough. Shots don't quite fully land. I believe that means that Rez should be back into the mix. circle will finally zero in on its final position and it's just in the bottom side of stadium it's going to put everyone out in no man's land so this battle here could set up the pivot point for both these two final squads on the top side of the circle it doesn't look like slayer was able to get by was more focused about staying alive and that is a ton of damage landing on noah he's He's going to chow this and absolutely rip him to shreds. Get better! I think he said execute somebody. Yeah, the Slayer said get better. Yeah, that's the type of event we're having right now. We're trying to melee people down. We're going for some assassinations. I mean, this is truly in control as this duo now. BobbyPlays and Slayer have rejoined forces and are working their way into new yet again. getting a single zone pull they're having to work for it but now wide open spaces here in the courtyard out by the fountain outside of stadium for the the final fight yeah we've got like pieces of this dnf squad like intermixed between each other as the downtown portion of the zone is going to be closed off here very soon the next 10 seconds so there's gonna be a lot of action here on this last apartment building low techs and jhc down low dab up top vague rotating late and it's down to i think who sees who first at this point because slayer and bobby are moving freely space is still alive just kind of holding a corner on the top side of the stadium and yeah this battle between this oh in the building three versus two is going to establish who controls the bottom side of this final circle and vague's already found the first set of shots he doesn't expect the second one jhc pops out finds the pick yeah that'll get us down one more player as the circle is moving very quickly onto what is going to be wide open space here between downtown and stadium yeah great team play there to work together child that together low techs on seven great map from this roster but it was a little slow to wake up but they are coming alive here in the second to last game of the day all right playing low side here look at our new zone man this is wide out in the open this is one of those moments where oftentimes we talk about high ground positioning well there's space I think. No, it's little B on the opposite side able to win that one but Bobby has got a few words for little B. Gonna try to stick this rez as Metalcore is in the area and then Lotex gonna come up from the back side of this. Bad news for Metalcore. Yeah it really is. I mean LoteX in particular I think is just trying to see if you can find an angle onto Slayer or Bobby. I don't think he anticipated that Metalcore is still in this position but no problem getting involved a lot of safety here a couple attacks nice shots not really much to do there though just a little bit of chip damage that will pull out a couple of plates jhc and dabber on the way over to assist nice layer down low we'll find the last remaining member of metal core now literally but look at what this next circle is going to be it's going to pull over to their left and you can see slayer making the call don't fight let's rotate still six players alive so It's going to be a 2v3v1, I believe. It's coming up. Yeah, I think so. And a great call from Slayer to chow Metalcore there. They can't risk getting shot in the back or allowing Lotex to get into a third party over the top. So they chow it quickly. Now GHC out in the open, slowest to rotate, and getting punished for it. Here's the other side of the engagement. LoteX able to pick up Coastgrip, who was the last alive for that team, but he's not going to make it through. There's no way. They've done it again. on get to the best position despite getting cut down they win their gulags they win their ones and then they win the best position on the map again to back to back to back as they find their way to 15 kills ladies and gentlemen that is a 55 point game 45 points for the kills and the 10 points for getting first again unstoppable at this point it is impossible for anybody to catch them it's like and i want to just turn the attention to like where we really see the difference makers like yes like slayer is ridiculous individual skill wise ridiculous but we've seen other players like low text for instance like put together great individual moments the difference maker has just been slayer's decision making whether it gets to the late side the late portion of the map like the back half but more in particular when you get to the final circle It's like, we've got three teams nearby us, but we need to rotate. Oh, wait, Metal got an execution in the gulag. I didn't see that. That's great for the highlight reel. That's going on some short-form content out there on our social media platforms for sure. I know all these players, especially if they're not playing from first, are also playing for content clips. Execution is a great way to do that. And, of course, styling on them, going for some melee kills. Great win there in the Gulag from Coastgrip. They've really had to turn around as well. They all found their way to a top three position. That's a solid five placement points, even though Coastgrip was cut down there in the final circle from Lotex. But, yeah, very interested to see where this leaderboard lands. And, well, there it is. We already knew that the top was extremely skewed. And, Well, here's another good example of that. But LoteX climbing the ranks all the way up to second place. That's got to feel fantastic, having double-digit lead over your opponent. Yeah, Lotexx has been really good individually, which has been most of the reason why they're scoring as much as they are right now. He's been, I would say, 90% of the eliminations, and he's sending it into 1vmultiple situations. Noah's team's struggling from initially what Ferg's predictions were, but still a battle for, I wouldn't say third, but at least that battle for second is still very much so alive and well as Slayer is now our next interview target with Tiff ready to go. Should I be scared standing next to Slayer at this point? I mean, he's got 38 of his team's total kills, which, by the way, Slayer is more than the second place team combined. How do we feel about that? I mean, we're feeling great. The team is playing good. The teamwork is there, so everything is going perfect. Yeah. Talk to me about the teamwork, because when I talked to Rez earlier, she was like, I'm just trying to keep up with Slayer and I feel like I'm doing a good job. How is the dynamic working? I mean I'm currently leading, so often we just play together. I go, I try to get the entry frag. If I don't get it, they just cover and it's just, yeah, We win every single fight. Yes, that is true. You guys are winning every single fight. You got the win with a nice little 1v2 picking them apart. Now, behind me, we do have Noah, and he was just talking about your KD because on the bus this morning, you were saying, oh, what's my KD? It's like, what, 12? What are we running right now? Like, I was expecting 7 to 10. I think we're currently close to the 10. I mean, four wins out of four, so... Mm-hmm. We're rocking. We're going crazy. Are you going to go five for five? Are you keeping this thing flawless? Easy. All right. Do you have any words for the other creators that are here? Ferg thought you should have been on your own team by yourself, by the way. I mean, get better, guys. Get better, practice, play more Verdansk. Get better. Play more Verdancek. All right. Well, thank you so much. Get locked in for the final game. And wow, y'all. Those are fighting words for every creator here. But, of course, we do have a mythic alias trailer to look at because it's going to be super sick in the upcoming season. I left my enemies behind I left my friends behind how can fragile justice ever defeat an enemy this terrible as long as Atlas is destroyed I don't mind working with the devil and we are back fresh off of talking to slayer look we talked to bobby we talked to reds we get slayer they're pretty dynamic i'm liking the vibes also i i like the fact that slayer's trash talk he's it's well earned he said get better play more verdansk i mean period i'm in too yep i mean just play more of verdansc it's just that simple right well let's Let's go ahead and check in with our bounty leaders. As of right now, most limbs of the tournament is none other than Team BobbyPlays. That's to be expected. Most limbs single match. Team Bobby Plays. I mean. Highest average placement. Bobby Play. Team Bobby plays. It's kind of hard to beat that average placement if you are locking in a win, right? Now, if we look through our highlights, you got red on your screen. Oh, man. Yeah, those bounties are pretty one-sided. But, of course, who knows when we'll get this last final 1,000 first blood here in the final map. Some of the highlights are fun to watch. Of course, you know, teams trying to navigate every dance that is very new to them, but also probably nostalgic. It has been such clean gameplay from a lot of our teams. They've really figured out how to rotate on this map. Vehicles become extremely important, especially in the late game. Some of those circles we're drawing as well, Chip. You have to have a vehicle to get to the best position. And I think that's where some of our top teams have found themselves. And then, of course, we also see Slayer getting his nice 1v2 to pick up his win. And then some fun moments in the Gulag. Shout out to Gulag, shout out to Showers. We've all been there before, and now you can be there as well. Have we been executed in the Showers? For sure. On Main? I don't know if anyone's ever been executed on the ShowERS on Main. That's egregious. It absolutely hurts. But with $12,000 and a big check on the line, guys, I'm pretty sure it's mathematically impossible for this to be anyone else other than Team Bobby Plays. But, of course, they will get those medals. It's looking pretty nice. Yeah, get me a Sharpie. Let's go ahead and write their name in there, and then we'll figure out. Can we get another second, you know, giant check for second place, 7,500? Because, holy moly. Well, I'll tell you, now it feels like it's again. Tournament goes to pretty much Bobby at this point in time. Battle for second, still alive and well. Could be an opportunity for a couple of the squads to still sneak into the top three, though. They just didn't have a good match. I mean, it really is the difference of, what, 16 points right there. Math? Yeah, math. That's math. You got it. Okay. You're crushing me. That's tough. That is tough. But there is a little bit of rivalry starting to come through. Bobby's squad is on top, but Team Low Tech's trying to hang on to second. Tiff is with both as they try to square up for the final match. Yeah, I am. And especially just talking to Slayer, I feel like I need to bypass Bobby. We're not even going to talk to him yet. Lotex, you're in second place. They're kind of guaranteed first at this point. What are some words that we want to say to Bobby? Well, I have no idea. You have no ideia? I was like, bro, are we going to get fight? Do we just need to have an arm fight at this moment? I'm trying my best. Like, I'm try to keep the second place, I want Risk to go for Bobby's team right now, so yeah. Is that the strat, just stay away from them? Yeah, they have such a big lead, so there's no point to go from them. How is it playing over there by Ferg, by the way? Because Ferg's got a lot of words for you. He's like yelling at you to go full send, execute him. Well, it's a bit distracting, but it's funny. It's funny, and you're on the opposite side of the room. You're at the top of the leaderboard. Do you feel any pressure or is it just so I don't want to say like GG easy kind of vibe right now, but it feels that way honestly coming into today. I didn't even feel any pressure because we played a practice game yesterday and it pretty went it went the exact way it's going today. So Slayer got the job done. Credits to Lotex, though. You guys gave us a little bit of a sweat in the trains over in that last game. So I think they can make some noise, and I definitely think they'll have a chance to lock in second. You said you were going to avoid them, but you're making them sweat. Like, you could do that again in the final game. Don't let them go flawless. No, I'm going to keep my strategy and focus on the second place. Yeah. Okay, the strategy's in check. Well, thank you, guys. I think we have a good understanding of why these two teams are at the top of the leaderboard. But let's go ahead and dive into some of the highlights because, well, you guys have been dominating. Well, so far, it has been, I won't say as advertised, but if there were an advertisement for Slayer, he is building his own promo video right now. Absolutely. I mean, it's been just one of those things that, again, the individual prowess is one thing. Rez is hanging, though. I mean she has been probably the best female creator here that we've seen on the individual perspective. And Bobby, as much as we meme him, he does have thumbs. You know, he's not terrible. He's good. He has two thumbs, actually. He's pretty good. He is pretty good at it. There's other things to talk about with his team chemistry. I mean, I don't want to hype them up all day, but they've certainly earned the accolades, right? The other thing is that Slayer is not only playing point man, he's not only top fragging, he's got more individual kills than most of the team. He's also IGLing. Yep. So, I mean this is a huge burden on one single player who certainly can handle all of that and more, I'm sure. But yeah, big shout out to Bobby and Rez for being able to keep up and still putting some points on the board. He's not doing all the work and there's been times where Slayer's been cut down, but the team's there for the trades as well. I mean he said that, right, when I talked to him earlier? I talked to Rez. I was like, you hung with him in game number one. You matched him kill for kill. She's like, oh, yeah, thank you for noticing. And it's like yes, it's not just a one-man show. We got to have – it's a team game. She's been good. She really has been. I mean, all of them have been really solid. The other side of it, though, is we kind of go down the leaderboard and kind of talking to – you know, hearing from Lotex and what their strategy is. I mean he's probably number two kill leader right now if I were to wager just based on the amount of times we've watched him essentially do the same thing that Slayer has been where he's jumping into 1v2s coming out alive it's just down to how do you set yourself up because yes like you do have a bit of a buffer between you and third but if you take your foot off the gas a little bit things can happen quickly if eric's team continues to put themselves in positions like they have been where they're in the midst of three four team fights and finding kills like you don't want to be too away from the action but you also don't wanna throw too early and be stuck trying to play catch I think it is the perfect call from Lotte. We're not going anywhere near that team. We're going to win. We're just not catching up. We want second place. To do that, you have to go farm the other side of the lobby. You know that team BobbyPlays is going to pick up double-digit kills on the map. Stay away from them. Split the map in half. Go win the other site. You're going be second place no matter what. I mean, that's a really good point. Sometimes you just got to acknowledge it. You're like, if I can't beat them right off the rip, maybe I look for a strategic fight or it's tough. If you can't meet them, just live in their shadow. Not going to join them. Not going. I'm the opposite. I'm on Slayer's team now. Bye, guys. Yeah, make it a 4v20 at that point or whatever it is. Meet me at Superstore. I'm here for that. I'm also here for us flying in yet again. The plane's coming in for the very last time. Ladies and gentlemen, last map of the day. We probably know our winners, but the biggest question is where everybody else will land. And we've got a fantastic plane line to wrap up the day, a chance to see the rest of this beautiful Verdansk map that we haven't seen yet. Look, this is a plane that says and screams Superstar, Superstar. Whoa, Bobby is going to drop in on the TV station. New drop location for them. And there are three teams that are here. This is going to get feisty quick and Bobby's got the first couple of shots. They're looking for first blood bindings. They're just trying to rip apart this prize pool. They're looking for First Blood, Space is going for the clean, I'm going to get punished. Slayer with the big pickup, but Space does find the full on Bobby. I want to say that space just got that first blood bonus, but I think the play here tip You just interviewed him low tech said we don't want to be anywhere near them But Slayer knew where low techs was dropping which was always here in TV team Bobby plays came to chalk the team in second four pieces of squads at TV station and the healthiest one right now is Is this duo of low techs and dab at the moment Bobby's in the gulag versus Noah? This could be fun. Do we have a camera on these two guys? They're literally sitting right across from each other You'll hear him in a second. Yes, you will Plenty of time playing for flag No, it's partly backing off. This is all shotgun battle by the way in the Gulag So this will definitely change the way this engagement will occur. Oh There's no way Noah's playing for flag again. 100%. 30 seconds. So much time left. And here they are. Nice and close. A whiff. A whif. Oh, good movement. A whiffe. Someone did a shot. Ping. All right. Noah's in the lead. Bobby's probably. Oh. Oh, Bobby. Oh. Oh. What happened? Oh. Oh. Look at me. Look at. Me. I mean, it's got to feel good. I think scoreboard is the right call. Correct. I don't know. I got nothing to say to that. True. It's true. That is period. Next. Not the look at me call. That's crazy. That is so good. I love LAN competitions. I know we're all here for fun and games. There is $40,000 on the line. Like, this has been a blast to watch. It's been comedy in so many ways, but this is still a very competitive competition on a brand new map here in Kha'Zix, so this has been so much fun. Dab going to be fighting up against a little bee inside this gulag battle. Very serviceable weapons for this fight. Dab did see at least a shoulder, but now question marks. Patience, I'm telling you, is a virtue in the showers. Too aggressive we're gonna get punished. There's little B Probably not punished enough really needed to land a couple more shots there, but gonna play aggressive little B Just dancing on him right now slides under his legs and then barrel stuffs him down Dab unfortunately getting styled on the slide is so long inside of the cool Fuck it just continues to put you from one piece of cover to another Slayer outside TV running out of ammunition Not able to get the win versus low techs How about it again? These are your anticipated top two Slayers at the moment and low techs gonna be the better of Slayer there They took the fight to him That is another classic. I thought I had one more bullet. Yeah, or that last bullet I thought was gonna take you down either way. We'll swing back over to co-script again. This team's come online pretty late They need a big game though to jump this leaderboard and make some big moves and it looks like vague and boy Liam are in the gulag currently. So Coast Crypt alone, but able to pick up one. And there's still more to deal with in this particular area. Trying to bait the body. That's going to work out for a little bit of extra damage. Take your poison on what weapon you want, armor crack. Trying to get the chase down, but movement not able to close the gap fast enough initially. Secondary shot comes out. That will be the down and win onto Winsanity. as jhc got a vehicle kill on the bell fox i believe slayer uh by the way just won a gulag against vague so that has been a fun storyline to watch all day today slayer winning yeah well 98 actually probably 100 rcxd hello not getting a lot of value no not surprised to hear that or see that you know what i've been in one of my favorite parts that i've I've been watching here on CodM Verdansk is the efficacy of a lot of these shotguns. Same. You see so much value with them just generally in mobile, but for CQB, they just hit like a truck. Oh, Aerith misses a window and gets punished. Gee whiz. Those were unreal shots. Lotex will finish off the battle, and now it just puts Aerith's team in a different position, has to back away. That's second versus third. That's actually a huge moment. Aerith team's going to have to slow way down. Lotex team has been heating up since the very first second of this map they're in a strong position to easily take second now It's Marshy who's on the out towards the switchbacks Kind of moving up towards a circle starting to Center which is on Corey Aerith trying to find redemption on to win sanity here in the gulag able to kind of change the angle break the armor Off the reload we'll be able to find the win And that will put Aerith in a position to likely just drop right back down on a marshy and get yourself back to full strength Yeah, what a win there from Aerith I'm excited to see the north side of the map won't see too much of military probably but a quarry ending will be a fun one since we've been Hanging out in the south for most of the last couple maps Jokesta finds his way to the gulag and showers And this is actually a huge moment Joksta lost a life for his team when Sanity and Ney fully eliminated lost their gulags or otherwise and Jokes just gotta win this or they're gonna be the floor. Oh, you're barely Bella Fox over commits on that chow. Let's go Jokes they excited about that one. They're still playing. Yep Aerith is able to find win sanity Again, or is that from the gulag from before potentially? I think this is the gula from before Kofi pops up a little bit odd Got the scout contract ready to go Trying to get as much cash as possible to get the team back to full strength and tallying who's where the center circle will put again the teams over towards tv station into position stadium corey part of military base all positions currently being i won't say contested but at least positioned for as all of our squads are in a bit of a stale spot and we'll take a Let's take a listen to see what Aerith and Co. decided to do on their regame. One team is out though, it seems like. There might be some good supplies this way. Yeah, that number hasn't replenished. the airdrop is coming not much to say just look ahead of your direction no one copied on that okay but everyone's back you got that going for you yeah you know i think at this point they've mostly got the intel of where you know everybody's had uh so there's not much to talk about here besides get our loot get some money get to a buy station they're gonna We can play Neighborhood here. I actually like this play. Be able to win out on the south side of the map potentially. What you see from their perspective obviously doesn't show all the players, but from our perspective it's about the same. There's really nobody on the sound side of that map right now, so they're going to be hanging out in Neighborhood for a while, checking with Space. Keep an eye though, as it looks like Bobby's team is going to find themselves in a bit of a 2v3 on the outside of the maps. Noah's squad, the one kind of chasing down actually a squad right next to them as well. and that's indeed the case jokes to the one caught in between he will drop i don't want to know what that sound is supposed to be no oh can we not oh he's spitting on him that's all right uh that's thank you for that i don t see anything no no thank you for that listen everybody that knows no stream does he does that pretty much everything will kill he gets so that's one behind the car on the car i like the extra you'll see that calculates anything on the leaderboard but for now slayer back at the top looking for more out in the open nice slide hit yeah thank you playing this smart who is this it doesn't matter the person's dead oh it's liam let's say there's not much you can do there unfortunately slayer able to get that battle no problem and that is a lot of space plus a vehicle to work with here for body's team to get back into the new circle which will force them to rotate through a couple of squads so that vehicle would be valuable i don't know how much it looks like it was a bounty as well so it's actually actually just turned which is nice we have another car but only two seats yeah it looks Looks like they're going to grab their vehicles and move on their merry way. Back to the Gulag we go as CoScript here. Important, same thing, last to line for the team. A must win if he wants to keep playing in the competition as a whole. Little B, I swear he's in the Gulog every other second we get a chance to see him, but he's here again. Players doing the same thing on opposite sides. So far, not much blood exchanging hands. Yeah, CoScript is going to finally meet him out in the open. That's good, come on. Little B has the ability to snap and they are also right next to each other as well So a little bit of banter there as little B's able to get back into the mix Yep, I was about to say low tech squad in a little Bit of trouble here about to find metal core here comes the return on the opposite The rewind gets a little safety second vehicle coming in that Slayer. I believe Yep with Rez and Bobby dab, JHC low techs all stacked on one another and Slayer wants to go Yeah, this is fast. He's furious. We're sliding in, looking for more. Slayer on the backside. This is technically that same team we just saw on the goal. Little B trying to get back into the action to join this engagement. I don't think he wants to. I wouldn't land here if I was him. I think he went top. Dav is down. Bobby plays. Rez, Slayer, on the hunt. Yeah, with the death machine, he is looking to finish this off quickly. Lotex from the rooftops finds Bobby. Still looking for information on more. Shotgun shot will connect. following up down low, not quite able to get the reset but able to rewind back to safety. Now trying to reset, Rez trying to keep him held, Slayer looking to follow up, cannot find Lotex yet, who's still alive and kicking, Slayers taking damage from the helicopter up below, up above rather I should say, while dealing with the player below, so a little bit of extra help for LoteX to reset and stay alive. Lote X has done a very good job of trying to isolate these ones, every time he hears Slayer pushing, he swings back the other side, really needs to get Rez down quickly if he's going to win this engagement against Slayer. But unfortunately, Rez is playing this quite smart as well. Playing safe inside. He missed him over the top. Shot's missing. Finally connecting there. Slayer gets aggressive and it pays off. Low tech's down. Gets his revenge. Circle going to force a quick transition though. They're not on the fast side of the zone but they're not in the slow side either. Meanwhile, over to Noah's position. Facing down a couple of players that are just on the outside of these farmhouses. That's Bella, who's the one to drop there. And yeah, Noah's right. There is one more nearby, but they're exiting over towards the backside of Corey. So there should not be much more conflict here. Again, this is Aerith's squad, who really needed a great game to catch up to Lotex. Jockeying for second and third position. Unfortunately, Aeriths' team really hasn't been able to get anything. No, not really. And I think it's namely because they lost their first engagement, and they've just been in this regain blender since the beginning of the map. So down to 12 total players on the map Aerith now is so low, this is going to be a tough one to come back. Yeah, it really will be. Bobby's team has made their way into the safety of the new circle. They're on the far left side of it. Noah's team, the other squad at full strength in the new position where this next circle is going move to. The only other team at full health right now is Verdict's team with Little B and Co. on the top side of Corey. They'll have to rotate in and kind of, again, strung about and stuck in the middle as Aerith and won. So that's the tally of who's still alive here with our final five squads. Noah able to get some damage initially, but Aerith turns that aside. Able to get away, reset, but Noah is still on the ground crawling, likely to be rezzed. Yeah, and Bell is back in as well. They've got a full team of three back on their feet. Can't count off Aerith yet. I mean, she's been winning all of her ones. The time that Aerith's team's been in trouble is when they've had player disadvantage. Now they're back on Their feet. Can't cut this team out at all. Now, where is Marshy going for? I think he's going for a loadout. Yeah, he's coming for the Arsenal drop through. He's going to the buy station. Can't tell, but rotating far away from his teammates. Just maybe playing the back side of the circle. Yeah, He's gone for a drop. Yeah. So, that'll help a little bit. Noah's team still in between the two pieces of Aerith's squad here. Marshy's just continuing to drive. Maybe just looking for information at the moment. Oh, she got shot in the back. Yeah, she sure did. And that's verdict and little B's team. I believe dark Nick's the one trying to take the shots Not quite a land initially eventually connects on to one more sniper shot, but cannot connect fully armor broken one more No, not quite Slayers picking up low techs in the meantime Yeah, and it's gonna be a battle for the top side of this map around quarry and then these teams here on the south side Four teams left all full strength to yeah full full teams of three playing around buying stations here again eric's team at this point i'm not sure they're gonna be able to catch low text but they could prevent somebody from catching them up on the leaderboard again third place overall walking away with six thousand dollars fourth place is three thousand so a huge spread just for that one place position difference and there's a look at our final circle we'll still have a handful of buildings available for teams to try to work for or contest for and little B is going to be the forward vanguard of his squad who continues just to stay away from everybody they were the team that was on the north side of Corey took a couple of shots at a few squads in front of them and said let's just rotate over looking for that late game kill participation while everyone else in that circle starting to meet over towards the west side of the zone which would include this team of Marshy and Co. if they decide they want to try to play for the action and it looks like they may be forced to yeah uav was in the sky there for erith marshy just a moment ago they know that the slayer team's here space on the outside maybe just pick up a few freebies or at least they're hoping so yeah getting really aggressive now slayers on nine looking for more resident to find erith first that's your big slayer down on that squad above us above above and yeah the uav is going to come through for res space is the one who's in the bounty which is the player that is most away from the action at the moment this is more of a fight for if res can find bella and uh no not quite marshy also nearby but res wants the action pushes forward and they will finish off bella before they can get to safety so now marshy's the last one left for his team space is still kind of on a bit of an island away from I don't know, I don' have another UAV though. And Rez is calling, like I have no idea where Marshy had gone to, but he's got to be close. Yeah, they know that Marshy's last alive, but they also had the bounty on space, so they knew there were two teams in the area. And it looks like Bobby's in the business of hunting space if possible. You can see that bounty on your mini-map right ahead. Still covers a decent amount of area, but Bobby's thinking maybe down below. Yeah, space is already inside. Marshy wiped. Crazy. We'll see maybe what space is able to do. Taking high ground position. It's got a pretty good position here. They really can't push in from the top side of this. Right now it's just all questions about what Bobby's able to do and when they decide to push in as a team. Well, Slayer gets another one tallied as they're trying to go flawless all five games all five wins and they're in a pretty good spot to do just that especially a little piece team just continuing to stay away from the action they're the last ones who are fully healthy now at this point so someone just has to step up and not play so scared but it may be a little bit too late I mean the best opportunity to fight Bobby's team was about a minute and a half ago when there are four full squads available now it's just down to space by themselves. Noah and Dark are split. Yeah, Little B maybe could be the savior this time to stop the full win. Nice space from the backside. They didn't know he was here. Able to trade out Bobby. Not an awful trade to help out your team who's already set up into new. Look at this. Slayer and Rez out in the open having to rotate in. So Bobby's gone. Space stayed to punish them. Rez is going to get cut down in transition. You could only assume on one HP in a dream. Wait, she gunned Little B. No way. They're fighting every single team out in the open, and still no one can cut them down. But Slayer is last alive. He's not in zone anymore. He's made it to cover. Verdict and Metal Core, a duo on the opposite side now. Slayer underneath. There's no way that Slayer wins this. There's in the worst position by a country mile. We can't let Slayer get another win. They can't go perfect. No. Noah and Dark up top. I'm surprised they're not just going 3-2-1. Let's jump in but verdict the metal core do have angles to put some pressure down by way of just kind of holding these rooftops Yeah, look at some will eventually drop It's happened He does bleed Unless he gets all friends Finally able to see a new champion. It's dark and Noah you take it on metal and verdict Final two teams, final four players. Yeah, look at NU as well. It's going to force Metalcore to push up. What a big moment. Yes, we're going to see a new winner, but this could be a huge moment for Team NOAH Sunday. They were in fifth place going into this round. A win here is ten placement points. They've had solid kills. And it's really on the back of the leg where Space was able to accomplish. Metalcore said, I'll do it myself out in the open with a giant turret ready for battle. And NOAH Sundae is going to punish Verdict for getting aggressive here. so it's gonna be metal core by himself oh i get sniped from on top deep into the gas they've done it a new winner arises they not will not win at all but they will win a map and some words for Bobby plays all in good fun but it's I think everyone can walk home happy that we weren't seeing five straight wins for Slayer and Co. No spoilers here Tiff. We have to celebrate Noah's win but you can see it on the backboards. We've already got our champions. There's no question about it. There's not bad math that could happen. and Team Bobby plays our top dogs. You're like, there's no spoilers here, but it's literally gold around the room. We are surrounded by screens that just celebrate Team Bobby Plays. But of course, we do still have to look back through the highlights because I think Game 5 was my favorite game. Yeah, I mean, it's just the circle was so sick. To be able to see the plane drop right down the middle of the map, it forced a lot of opening fights. TV Station was such a fun drop for everyone. And then eventually you get to a point, that final circle you've got four full strength squads that are all trying to battle with each other and like garrett had said it's just down to one of those moments that slayer just gets caught into a bad spot catches a nade but at the end of the day from start to finish it was just res bobby and slayer on top with the only exception being that last little moment you said that and i heard res bobbie and i was like that was kind of one of the side quests a little bit of a side Slayer throwing him in a backpack. Rez, Bobby, win your gulags. I was actually really surprised to see them not go flawless. Yeah, absolutely. Just really fun matches throughout the day. Rez and the whole team just dominating throughout the entire day. It really wasn't close at all, but at the very least, they can bleed. My goodness. Final leaderboard tip. Look at this. Team Bobby plays on top by a country mile, but it is low-techs picking up second. All right. Well, guys, you saw the leaderboard, so I had to grab the team. This feels really familiar, by the way, Bobby. I feel like we were just here chatting about this. How are we feeling after locking up? It's a shame it wasn't flawless. Yeah, it's unfortunate. I'll take the responsibility for that. A couple misplays here and there. I'm 31 years old, and I have two children, So I can't carry a team anymore, but fortunately this guy can. Hey, that's all that matters. Now take me back to that final game. You guys were shaking some things up at TV Station. We had the head-to-head with Lotex, and he was like, I'm staying really far away from you guys, but you got pretty close in TV. Yeah, that was pure chaos. I honestly don't even know who got the first blood there, and obviously that's like $1,000 on the line. So I'm curious to see who that was because it can't hurt to tack on a little bit more money, you know? No, it definitely can't. You said dad did too? Kids are expensive, you Know? but talk to me about your team everything was in synergy and of course Slayer was slaying but Rez was absolutely cracked out there too any any hype for the squad? Oh yeah Rez was definitely like the underrated player coming into this tournament I don't think people realize she used to be a BR pro as well so we had like I got blessed I don'T KNOW WHO PICKED THE TEAMS BUT WHOEVER IT WAS I APPRECIATE IT. Who was out there making this team official it was really cool to see it all happen but speaking of official I think I think we make it official let's go ahead and get these medals in here, guys. They are going to look so cool around it. Come on, Shift. There it is. Those things look so insanely cool. And it's also really cool having the entire creator surrounding here cheering y'all on. But I say we keep the action going, right? Those medals deserve a little bit something extra to take home. I believe we've got Ghosh standing by with a big check. Are you going to twist it? Are we going to start doing some designs over there? There it is. $12,000 for first place. And Jeff, I say we add a little something to this. You can change the name and make it out to me if you want. Thank you so much, Jeff. Thank you, team Bobby. And I feel like we need to look at the pricing because you're right. Everyone here is walking away with a little something. We had the bounties. It was $40,000, 18K for Team Bobby Plays. Team Lotex over there just ahead of Team Noah Sunday. I know all of our competitors are like, yeah, yeah we're getting the cash. Now here's the deal. Ferg did predict Team BobbyPlays, Noah Sunday, and LoteX. But I sense a shift and I'm feeling pretty good about this one guys. But it's been a really fun day with so much action. We had 21 creators from around the world. Verdansk is back, and now it's officially in CODM, and I couldn't be more excited. For those of you watching at home, November 11th, Verdansк will be available, and we will see you guys there. The seventh anniversary of Verdansks. I feel like we got to celebrate, right? Let's get crazy! Woo! What a day. No time to wait. We're getting started today, folks, and I love to see you. Have to try to lock things in. This is going to play a little bit of third person, but not post. FaZe gets smoked. Here is team. He may not get there. Wow, get there! Jaycee, go! Oh! Bounty, bounty, bounty. One more, one more, One more. You got a spear! You got spear! What the hell? What's up? Bro, you got a speeeer! Listen, if you know anything about Noah and Little B, they've played with each other and against each other a ton. They're good friends. I think they put that thousand dollars on the line on a melee battle. On a Hunger Games battle in the woods. I'm so sorry, bro. Hit twice, hit twice, weak, nice. We're a good team. All in good fun. There it is, $12,000 for first place. Thank you. We'll be right back. Thank you. We'll be right back.
