@@jerrythesometimesmerry5099 They are, but jesus christ is it an OP comp at the moment. Hopefully with the cocoon nerfs and vers amps it may level the playing field even a little.
@Lure them with Candy half the teams ran it what are you talking about lmao. Let me guess you play it at 2k rating live and think it is a balanced comp. Salty tears
@@drxxion3830 spirit link totem shares a certain percentage of hp to allies in the totem plus adding a damage reduction. So the more allies and more hp the more healing. But In cost of the Spirit link everyone equals out on the percentage. So wizk getting the MC in the totem on snutz. Basically took snutz 100% hp and halfed it, and healed the golden guardians to half.
Pika I have watched your last like 20 vids you've posted and by far this one takes the cake. This content is so enjoyable and hilarious to watch I love it. Thank you sir
Mate, no joke this has to be one of my favourite videos you've ever done! Compelling story telling, lots of humour (bermuda triangle haha). I can't wait for more as you progress through the AWC! Good luck!
You are a good guy. I suck at pvp even though i try, but watching you i feel i get my pvp fix. Thanks for a genuine Legend. I appreciate all your streams.
Pikaboo might be the coolest and most chill wow player I've ever seen. Dude is hilarious while being a genius at this game. Well done young man, well done.
Yeah I don't think it was meant to be subtle lol. Basically everyone but MLM teams are tired of it. The comp has some of the highest burst ,crowd control and defensive CD's so the healer just drinks all game.
@@evanfernandez9885 As someon who was going to push 2100 as MLD (or MLM) I can tell you. We ALSO hated playing it. It was unfun/cheese and when it was fun, its still no where near as fun as RMP or WW/DH
The fact that you made this video is right up there with Cdew's How we won Blizzcon video. Utterly 100% Priceless for all time because the lessons that can be learned transcend specific expansion content. Thank you for sharing this amazing breakdown, Brother!
imagine having to afk and wait 15 minutes to have a chance of killing your enemy, but the enemy can kill you in 10 secs flat from any point of the game. wtf blizz
EXACTLY! ^^^ This right here! I miss the days where we didnt need dampaning in arenas (or even once we did if it got to like 10% u know the game was gunna be over real soon like 1 more go)
Used to play vs ya with mirror mage rogue back with Twink 70s, my rogues names Gankstr/Zapx. I have not played the game in YEARS. However, I caught one of your videos the other day and now this one & I have to say I really enjoyed watching. Holy Sh*t ya got me rolling on the commentary & as always your game play is legendary. Looks like you are enjoying what your doing, Thumbs up from an old rogue.
Chat was playing off the sap on trinket like it hasn't been a big deal since the beginning of time. "It wasn't a big play, Kubzy just made a mistake." Or saying "He should have waited to trinket because he should have known Pika was there." Like, when a healer sees 60%+ dampening and teams hp is 50% or lower...they have to trinket. They can't just greed the trinket like that. That's what makes it a play and not a mistake. What actually boggles my mind about it is...he sat about 15 seconds of crowd control because of that...and his team's hp dropped maybe 10% combined.
We have very different definitions of GOAT lol. The Move is a very good team, and Pika is a very good rogue, but how easily you ignore that they then got 4-0'd by Cloud9 right after. They also got 4-0'd at BlizzCon in 2018, and didn't qualify in 2019. I'm excited to see where they go, but they do not belong in a serious GOAT discussion. Not right now, anyway.
@@tidusrodriguez5096 Who's talking about The Move? I can be wrong, but i think he's emplying Pikaboo himself, not saying pika is the best rogue to ever play this game. but saying someone can't or is not the best at what they do based on team performance is kinda silly imo. Having said that, i have not found/seen a rogue who's play style i like more then Pika.
19:08 Mental strength is key to do great no matter what you do, you shall always focus on what you WANT and not focus on what you DONT WANT. Here you scream "DONT DIE!" You should scream "Kill them!" or "Survive!" :) When at this level its all about min/max ;) :D
This is a perfect representation of how/why arena is stupidly broken now. Top tier teams in the world have to sit for 10 mins for dampening? This is not how the game is supposed to be played. Corruption is such nonsense in pvp, particularly to certain classes. I’m gonna wait for shadowlands.
I agree the game has balance issues, but top teams have been dampening as long as arena has been competitive. It's a common strat since everyone at this level is so good. That's why the Reckful "turtle all day" thing was such a big deal. Teams used to dampen specifically to win on a damage technicality, without actually having to kill the other team. I don't think dampening will go anywhere regardless of how Blizzard changes the game.
tbh your mindset is completely Wrong , this mage lock MW setup can Kill EVERY SETUP in less than 1.5 minute but when the class of the game is this high and players know their weaknesses they gotta LOS them and wait to counter them . pika says they are damp God but tbh its not them who drag the game for 15minute its all the enemies who doesnt have any answer for that setup other than draging the game for that much ( im not saying its balanced im just stating a fact ) so they have an opportunity of a kill in an small window on the Lock in 60-75% damp !
@@mohammadrezafarzin2890 No my mindset is not wrong at all. Corruption is a RNG joke, and having to just sit behind a pillar is not how arena is meant to be played. It's boring and unpredictable. I'm Glad btw.....
looks to me like he waited for the shaman to walk around the corner so he could land the leg sweep quicker from the trinket. If he trinketed instantly the shaman may have tried to move away from the monk or his team may have been able to cc him before he cast the leg sweep
everybody in chat was doubting you guys, blaming you for dampener gameplay like you can even do anything for 10 minutes vs this comp rofl. to beat snore9 you have to play like that, people just don't understand it
The making them wait is a classic Fabian War Strat look it up. Musashi did it too, the greatest sword fighter... I think he killed over 100 men in duels... He would show up late and make them go on tilt lol
In response to Chans tweet, if it goes both ways so even Lock/Mage cant kill anyone before 60% damp, then you may as well just start the game at 60% damp, exactly the plan of TM-GG. Well played, Sir
This was in the semi-final, right? Because I can't seem to find this specific match up on the official Warcraft youtube, for some reason they did not include this game, the game where C9 loses.
Will you be breaking down also the grand final games, specially 3rd and 4th game? I mean, great job on this victory, but you guys were schooled on the grand finals. Gotta find a way to beat them consistently. Anyways, keep up the good work.
47 mins wow video , usually thats some asmongold video thats this long . but damn , i watched it entirely and enjoyed everything ;D good shit and great games vs cloud 9 , this was extremly ballsy to go RPS vs double monk lock , but the play you did , by forcing the trinket of the lock and deciding to go on healer and blind the lock on that , was an insane decision . I would have done the classic blind healer to trade his trinket for it , and see what happens then , but that was a fking legendary move there . GG
This right here is the biggest complement towards C9, towards the opposing team, that I have ever seen. I can't count the number of times you say they are so fucking good. And yet somehow you managed to fking win!? So Awesome!! ;D
just a thought. but what if Frost and unholy DK for grips priest heals. target mage. mass dispell iceblock? icebound fortitude offensively to immune stun peels.
lol "I'm just getting spam sheeped and spam feared".. WTF you expect after the triple sap/attempted mc at 12% lmao entertaining video as always, we want more ED
Ahh pika, nothing says i love you like you waving at me in stealth and i spend the rest of the bg running for my life on my druid lololol 😂😂😂👌 Loved the commentary on the win. Grats to the whole team. Well deserved 🤘
There is so much Vers, even with the nerf it won't be enough, But the Cocoon nerf should help Alot 20 seconds is huge, super Proud Bro, stay focused this is your Year
You're doing this for every team out there thats sick of dying to Monk mage and lock. The man of the people right here.
This dude is amazing at explaining and telling the story made me feel I like I was there with the excitement and Adrenalin lol good shit.
Yeah man, I don't even play retail and the oldest expansion I ever played was wotlk and this was so interesting to watch
I have never seen someone so politely roast a team for 45 minutes 🤣
@Lure them with Candy literally everyone is running it. but yea sure, c9 is the best at the specific comp, but pretending their comp isnt by far the best in the game atm is being an fucking idiot

He really is.

I feel like they're so unused to being pressured like this that we actually saw them fall apart a fair bit in these games.

This was epic to watch last night!

Kubzy with the 2.1second reaction time trinket on your blind @ 34:22 (you thought these guys were good?)

Great match , watched it live. Congratz!
The commenting is OP!!! I am dying in laughter here. Keep up the great work!

everybody in chat was doubting you guys, blaming you for dampener gameplay like you can even do anything for 10 minutes vs this comp rofl.
to beat snore9 you have to play like that, people just don't understand it
What chat were you reading? Everyone wanted The Move to win and was critical of C9 for their FOTM picks.
@@89Brandon08 to be fair to c9 they played it when literally nobody played it.
Ziqo and Ven even said turtling until dampening was a good strat because it was their only chance vs M/L on Tol.

Dude first time iv watched any of your video's, your cracking me up man..
Is pikaboo drinking a claw on stream with a class of 2020 balloon in the picture. This man must be protected
pika ur commentary is the best in the world sir. thank you for this. its beyond epic.
Best commentary Ive ever heard. Full stop!
Do health and mana potions get used in arena at all? Surely they would have value for a quick bump for mana or hp
This content is so good. Pikaboo is amazing commentator.
These breakdowns are hysterical.
This is fucking hilarious I wish you’d do more of these reviews
I really like the tourny frames is there an add-on I can get with those frames?
Poor Jelly. I hope he didn't get a splinter.
I've never watched C9 play an arena match before today, and now I hate them lol
27:55 to 28:16 lmao loved this!
i dont paly that much wow, i dont do pvp and i rarely watch twitch but this is the most entertained i have been on the internet for a while
This was in the semi-final, right? Because I can't seem to find this specific match up on the official Warcraft youtube, for some reason they did not include this game, the game where C9 loses.
Maybe, but also because, as pika explains, they just Stall for 75% of the matches.
This is when I knew we broke them mentally. Hahahaha
Enjoying the commentary but reckon you should disable/mute subs/donations while doing it. Sick games though man
Will you be breaking down also the grand final games, specially 3rd and 4th game? I mean, great job on this victory, but you guys were schooled on the grand finals. Gotta find a way to beat them consistently. Anyways, keep up the good work.
Where did you see them? The video I watched cuts out in the first game of Grand Finals.
Both dislikes on this video are wealthyman and chanimal
LMAO
A BOLT STRAIGHT TO THE DOME. That got me - LOLOLOL
noice !
Just a question, how Wealthyman can transmog a T6 warlock tier as a mage ?
how was the final tho ? what comp did they play against and scores ?
Big win, loved watching D9 get played at their own game!

THE RE SAP ON TRINKET. WHAT A LEGEND
was wondering do you guys have to farm your gear?
or do u have get access to all gear /trinkets?
just for the arena matches
You can buy everything for the AWC
This is absolute gold. No idea what Chan is talking about saying it works both ways. Guy needs to try an alt...
I love you bro. I hope you see this. Been a fan even before twitch.
