Overview
This video is a solo queue ranked session in Rainbow Six Siege at Diamond 3 level, playing against champion and high-rank opponents. The focus is on real-time decision-making, mental reset, and map control, not just raw aim.
Key Themes & Takeaways
1. Mental Game & Team Communication
- Mute toxic teammates early, once the team starts yelling, performance drops. The creator mutes voice chat to stay calm and focused.
- Don't default to expecting teamwork, when teammates are unreliable, play self-sufficiently. The creator acknowledges that relying on randoms for simple tasks (like nading a Bandit) leads to tilt.
- Callouts can still be useful, even with voice muted, the creator listens for pings and gives callouts. One good default cam call wins a round.

"It's actually much better for me in terms of playing well to just mute and assume I can't rely on them."
2. Defense: Holding Space & Rotations
| Map | Site | Strategy | Key Op | | --- | ---- | -------- | ------ | | Border | Office / CC | Hold office, contest east stairs, rotate to CCTV | Bandit, Thorn, Oryx | | Consulate | Basement | Aggressive admin hold, waste drones, use Azami to retake | Azami |
Border defense highlights:
- Setup office with barbed wire and rotate holes
- Use Thorn traps to slow balcony pushes
- Anchor CCTV to contest east and window
- Rotate early when losing space, don't force bad fights
Consulate defense:
- Play Azami aggressively in admin to waste time and drones
- Use Kiba barriers to block key angles (coffin window)
- Retake space after being cleared out
3. Attack: Fragging with Purpose
Border attack:
- Nomad on East stairs to hold flanks
- Castle on blue desk is a liability, open it to destroy defender setup
- Use air jabs to lock down retake routes
Consulate attack:
- Save drones in prep phase (enemy shoots first one)
- Clear a floor methodically with a teammate before planting
- On basement, clear top floor first (Solus, Mozzie), then plant
- Example: Drone out third floor, track roamers, drop on them from yellow skylight
4. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Prone in a doorway, easy to kill if the enemy jiggle-peeks you
- Peeking a Bandit out of frustration, just wait for the nade
- Using Ash charges for damage instead of opening vert, always prioritize utility
- Breaking your own Castle, opens the angle for the enemy, not you

5. Learning From Losses
- The creator admits tilt caused him to peek a Bandit unnecessarily, a classic mistake
- On a plant loss, he analyzes the proper order: check for Tachanka fire first, then fight the Vigil
- Even in wins, he notes high-risk plays that won't work consistently against better players
6. Operator Choices & Reasoning
- Oryx, great on Border for hatch flanks, but better in a 5-stack with info
- Grim, powerful for clearing corners and denying retakes
- Nomad, excellent flank denial for East stairs
- Azami, perfect for aggressive info-wasting holds on Consulate
- Finka + shields, "gross" meta that works well at high ranks

Final Thoughts
The creator demonstrates that good decision-making and mental composure win rounds even when aim is off. He whiffs multiple shots but wins rounds by playing smart, wasting time, and using utility correctly. The video is a practical lesson in how to climb ranked by thinking like a champion, not just shooting like one.

Hello gamers. Welcome back to Think Like a Champion. This is where I go solo Q into champion ranked. And as I do, I
explain my thoughts and plans in real time. That way you too can learn to think and play like a champion. Our six
player, well, I'm not champion yet, but I am Diamond 3. We have our entire team here today because for the past minute,
they have just been screaming at each other, calling each other bad and being a little bit too crazy. And that's not
the energy I like to bring into the game, folks. Why? Because makes us play kind of frantic, kind of chaotic, and a
little bit worse. And they're probably going to be yelling at us anyway if we make one small mistake, which everyone
makes mistakes. So, what's the point of that? We're going to set up office a little bit. Going to make holes on the
left side. I just I don't I didn't even mean to make holes on the right side. I don't know why I did. I was too busy
yapping, not thinking. Put some barb wire for the hop in over here. So, we kind of just play office. Hold this
space. Stop them from kind of taking this to begin with. But then we can also kind of drop down and contest this plant
if that's what they're going for from below. Uh, we can just come back to archives, smoke it off, drop down this
hatch to stop it if we need to. Uh, you let's say we use all our smokes or whatever. Um, they did shoot this east
cam already. Maybe a Twitch drone. Yeah, they're getting all getting working on the cams early here.
That was a quick pick for the for the enemy team. You got to be ready for that as the bandit though.
We have this door being open. So I think he's going to probably peek into this. Almost have them there. Sooner we can
get rid of this the better. There's probably a zero cam on us somewhere. Rid of their info. Can also get rid of
this so they can't hack the cams. I'm just going to plane office. Could use this smoke to just stall some time out
on here and we can take the fight onto the hallway potentially. Even back up.
I don't love where we're at. This Twitch drone's really annoying me, too. We're going to let our phone blow. Try to
fight this hallway if we can. Let's just back up. Give it up. And we'll play from fountain.
>> Make a head hole here. >> We can swing onto this guy if we need to.
>> I love where we're at. Going to have to contest. Try to get these picks back cuz we're a man disadvantage.
If they'll give us another one from this hallway. Almost have them there. Almost found them. Peeking into the F2 is
tough, but do have to try to find these fights. Unfortunate. Okay, >> couple quick picks for the other team.
That's going to change a lot. If this buck pushes in, you could actually win this. He's going to have he has two on
his left here actually. Very, very winnable. The mute jammer. Oh gosh, he could have drunk cuz the mute jammer,
but he just shot a little too soon. That's too bad. >> Look at that jiggle. That's a nice
jiggle. Didn't even check the corner, which is crazy. really a round mute wins there if he uh wins that fight onto the
buck because now the Twitch is also pushing into the shotgun. You just got to kind of This is why we don't prone my
friends. This is why we don't prone. You hear him close on the doorway. Kind of jiggle into him. The prone's not It's
not the end of the world. Like it's really not a terrible idea. Um but if he jiggles I'm facing the right way, you
are definitely losing that fight is the only problem. Why do I face spo with Jinxy clones on
my team daily? This is that thing guys. If you go into a game hating the world, hating your
team, you're going to you're going to only see the bad things. You're only going to you're going to only focus on
the negatives. And that's just going to make you play so much worse because you're going to be mad. You're not going
to make good decisions. You're mad. It's kind of like It's kind of like when you're like mad at somebody for doing
something and they're like, "I didn't even do that." And you're like, "Yes, you did. I literally saw it." And then
like literally your brain is like making things up to like fight for your position on what happened. And like half
the time you your brain's literally just making stuff up. It's just literally making stuff up cuz everything is
everything ain't even real, guys. Our brain's constantly making stuff up and being like, "Yeah, that's real. That's
reality." And then you're like, "What?" Anyway, that's that was the stupidest thing I've said all day. I'm going to
play the Thorn here. We're going to set up CCTV. We're going to just We're going to hold some more space, right? They
took east really really fast. We don't want them doing the same thing again. We won't be able to contest east stairs. If
we play CC, we can do that, but we can also actively contest CCTV. So, that's great. I'm actually I'm going to pivot
off that. I'm not going to hold I'm going to hold east instead. I think I'm going to put a thorn trap if they hop in
here. I just want to slow them down on this balcony. The only problem is if they come through um
this doorway here, they kind of get this pinch on us. So, I'm not uh I'm going to take that back. I'm not going to play
east. I'm going to play CC still, but we're going to contest east from there. I'm going to reinforce all these office
walls since they kind of just use the Zophia last time to open it. So that way they have to use a hard breach tool. It
just wastes more time. Makes a little easier to hold for that drone if we can. I would throw a thorn trap out here and
run out, but I don't think it's really worth it. See if we can find anything on that. I like the idea of putting one on
this like chandelier though for if they get close. Punch that. I'm just going to hold this
window for now. A lot of people will just put the bullet hole in it and try to get the pick onto the balcony,
especially if they know I'm here. Wow, that Twitch drone is so hard to see. I hate the elite skin. It's actually
brutal. I can only see the freaking dots of it, man. It blends into this map perfectly.
So ridiculous. It's lally just It's l just a cheat code and just keep trying to contest that. I
don't know where we're at, so I'm essentially rotating into the hallway. I can't even jump over. This is crazy.
There we go. Oh my god. Can you get I thought you could jump over this. Yeah, there we go. Why is that so difficult?
Could be an east already, right? He already set off the thorn trap. Actually, just going to pivot and hold
this instead. Actually, we have the thorn trap under the window, so we know that's safe. Hold
90 for now. We have the three cap cans on this double door here, too. See if we can get
a pick if he peaks through this. Don't just fall off. We don't get the head shot. We're not going to rep it. We
don't want to. Now he has control of the angle. We don't want to have three. They could wall bang me from here. I mean,
this setup's really, really weak. But >> not a lot we can do about it besides keep contesting this space.
Going to throw another Thorn that I don't love my teammate spraying through this cuz he's basically just
saying, "Hey, shoot through this wall and kill my teammate." Which I don't really want. I go back to sight off of
that cuz I don't want them to wall bang me now that they have all that control. Hey, we waste a little bit of time
though. >> Reload. >> Not a lot, but a little bit.
Unfortunately, we're kind of restricted to the site now. So, we kind have to hope that they don't know how to
execute. But, it is a 5v4. So, we actually have office control still with this bandit, which is good. Might be
able to come support him. I think I heard a guy vault in there. I did. Yeah, the go's going to take him out. That
capen does land. That's great. And try to cross off of that. Got rid of his info. Now, we can play across with this
bandit, too, which is great. Oh my goodness. Walk out. I don't love where I'm at.
These wall bangs are flying out at me. Get to E stairs. I'll get some crossfires back. Now we can contest this
hallway. That's great. Sounds like he's walking up the balcony.
Going to waste time. I want him to fight me. I want to waste his time. I don't want to die yet. If he kills me, he
could protect potentially clutch on my entire team. Oh, this nice close-range C75. Not give him the kill that he's
looking for. Have this pipe behind us. He's going back into CC now. He's kind of got to go for this
rotate. Bandit shooting at him. Not even going to peek. >> I am the bait.
>> He's literally just baiting for kills. Hit the cap trap. We know he's an office now.
>> He's infounded. We got our kill, guys. Oh my god. The worst aim in the game. Hey, it's only
two rounds in, guys. Hey, think like a champion, aim like a copper. Welcome back to copper to champion. I'm playing
like a copper in champion rank. Let's freaking go. Yeah, I whiffed I whiffed a million shots. We get it, guys. We get
it. I suck at the game. But it's fine because I don't suck and we won the round because I played it smart. He had
no time. He had no chance. He was done. He was done, boys. We'll get rid of the ram so we can go basement. Um just I
mean we're going to be going tellers. The ram is just free free vertical clear with zero downside to it essentially. I
do like the idea of going a soloulless for the Rome here and just getting rid of the drones. At the same time, they're
very slow, right? They're slow. They're not really droning that well because they're still hitting those cav can
traps. Um, but we definitely want to show a bit of a presence and just kind of deter like deter them from trying to
take that top floor. I was going to say deteriorate them, but that doesn't make any sense. I really like the idea of the
Goyo on the Rome here. Maybe just the Orics, honestly. That way we have some mobility, but I really want I just want
some info, right? Like the thorn with a shotgun might not be a bad play. I'm going to go with the orcs. Orics is
really fun. He's just really fun on this realm because you can drop down the hatches, you can flank up later. He's
honestly way better in a five stack. Like especially on this map. Like this is a map where I I would legitimately
play Orics more so in a five stack, not as much solo because of the fact you have all the info. You can your
teammates will call out where people are. You'll have info ops. They'll be on cameras. So, you can kind of read what's
going on a whole lot easier. And if you know what's happening around you and where the enemies are positioned, you
know when it's safe to actually hit those flanks and hop up those hatches and make the big plays, which is when
orcs becomes really, really scary. Uh, we are going to reinforce soft detention. I don't want them taking this
space cuz this is probably where I'm going to play in um this customs area. That way I can kind of jump up the
hatch. So we'll start CC. We'll shoot a drone, drop down the hatch potentially. You know, waste some time up there and
then we can always jump back up this hatch whenever we feel like it. So they're getting spotted. That's fine. We
go up here. Put our barber. This is where we're going to set up our utility. >> You want to be able to hold this space.
We We were like, "Hey, we don't want you to take the top floor. I'm going to try to deter you from doing that early with
this setup." But uh if you do, it's not the end of the world. We'll try to go for a flank later in the game. We want
to open this hatch. That way, we can help >> um detention from above as well. But
because it's all cast and stuff, I'm actually not too worried about it. I'm actually going to go into
CC. Can't get that twitch. We missed the Twitch keeps missing the cap can which is a bit of a blunder.
Does get the default cams, but yeah, not getting these cap cams makes things up. I mean, if you're going to play Twitch
and get all the default cams, you kind of want to really only do that if the other team's playing the default cams
cuz I don't think anyone on our team has been on them the entire game, but then again, I muted my entire team, so it's
hard to say. Here, there's Sophia. I might be able to find them on this doorway, honestly.
Going to drop down the hatch. That was scary timing. See if we can grab a Thunderbird station here. Hopefully
there's nobody in workshop with a hole in this wall or else I'm dead. There we go. Get our health back up. Now look at
because our cap's here, we know it's safe up there. We can hop up and start playing off them now. So now we're back
on the Rome. Back to full health and they have to redraw us out again. So that's very successful Rome so far.
Going to hold see if he pushes through. We got this bob wire for our archives, right?
Playing around our teammate. So far so good. Hold this hatch from above.
Should be able to hear if he walks up behind me. I don't think he's going to, but it is possible.
There's that twist drone. Ping that for our teammates so they're aware of it. See if we can get some
space above. Regain some space. getting ping's bottom east. So, they're probably taking that. We still have the
caps up here, so I know nobody's crossed this, but get into CC. We may have looped a guy
there and get into uh CC. We can fight this guy. Bottom. He's dead. Nice. That's the control. And I'm actually
just going to play bottomies. I'm assuming this is a person. I don't know what we're still pinging there.
He's dead. >> Waiting for this grim. I have no idea where these Grim Bees are. This is the
thing. All the info is so confusing right now, right? He's going for the sight window, it
seems. HP tellers. This is all beat off. He's down. There
we go. >> One remaining. >> Last one's unknown. Let's bust through a
castle and see if we can find him. Might be in workshop. There is only It's a 2v one. I probably shouldn't
peek this actually. Good way to throw this. Trying to bait him into us. Ah, let's
run across. No diffuser. >> Oh, I forgot I broke that castle. I
forgot I broke the castle. I'm throwing. I'm throwing. He's >> in tellers.
>> All right. Luckily, our teammate's not Oh my god. I was going to say, lucky our teammate's not ass, but perhaps I lied.
He's the best. Good job. >> All right. Yeah. So, that's how you throw a game right there by bashing
through the castle. If I'm playing smart and not like a complete fool, I just sit there. I just I got the diffuser. I just
sit there and play smart, I win. But hey, this is think like a champ. There's no copper to champion foolishness. Okay,
this is me having fun playing my favorite video game while also trying to to help you get better at the game. But
also, maybe I do some dumb stuff and they go, "Hey, don't do the dumb stuff that I just did, my friends." So, that's
that's one of those moments. But, uh, hey, not too bad. I actually prefer Cap Cam here. I don't think Mirror's super
good on border, to be honest. Hey, whatever. I don't care. Um, hm. What should we do? What should we do? Let's
uh h I don't know. I don't know. I kind of want to just lurk through the basement,
which seems really stupid. And honestly, it kind of is, especially solo. Honestly, this first round, I think I'm
just going to push with my teammates and kind of see what they do. I think the best way to learn about what your
teammates do and how they play is just follow them around. I mean, we got two shields. The thinker would complement it
quite nice, but I'd rather have the hard breacher just be able to open up the whatever wall we end up getting to if we
get to that point. Um cuz the shield should be fine on their own if they're playing reasonably.
I might want to unmute them at this point. I don't know if they're like there was some the the chat was just
going wild uh earlier. It was I guess it was the voice chat, not the uh not the all chat. So
>> I just don't know if that's still the vibe or not. Well, I'll mute him for around. See what happens. I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen. Let's go take a look at where the uh where the site is. see what operators
they have. I mean, ideally, we can kind of even get a pre-place drone in CC potentially. I'll show you guys this
drone. This is one of the best drones. >> Oh, I got a run in here. It's fine. One of the best drones on the map right
here. Jump it up. Get her up on top of these boxes. Oh, and I sucked. All right. And it's probably going to get
shot now cuz you can definitely hear it. Oh, he's putting his Oh my god, I am I'm just terrible at the game. I'm just
going to leave this here. This will give us some info as to what's actually happening on the CC side of things. I'm
going to spawn over here. That way I can get the default cam >> for security right now.
>> The gate on that doorway is actually going to telegraph his run out, which is the interesting part about it.
>> All right, we actually got some call outs. That's good. >> Nice. Very nice.
>> I'm just kind of hoping he kind of overextends that corner. >> He's on the door. He's running out the
doorway. >> I'm going to open up this window. Add some pressure to CC. I'll get on the
repel. I mean, I am slightly concerned about an impact runout type of vibe. That default camera.
>> Yo, CC free just dropped for some reason. Get in there. >> All right. Good to know. Good to know.
That's info from the camera. So, hey, we actually got some call outs, which is good.
So, that cam gave a ton of info right on just on that drop. We need drone out armory now. Can you guys get the bandit
off the uh wall? Like can you nade nade the uh door black ring? See if we can get some teamwork
going the bandits off. >> Yeah. Give me a sec. Give me a sec.
>> I don't know what he's waiting for. He can just bank it off the door frame, too.
>> Yeah. I just This is the thing. I mean, he keeps saying give me a sec. I don't know what we're waiting for cuz if we
open the wall, I can basically trap that guy into halfall. And this is why we mute our teammates and pretend that they
are the bots that they are cuz we know that. And then we can just play it our own oursel and not actually rely on them
whatsoever cuz especially when we have communication like hey can you do this thing that's super easy that you could
do right now and they go yeah one sec. One sec. And they keep waiting and they keep waiting. They keep doing nothing.
It's kind of it's kind of annoying. It's kind of annoying. And now I'm mad and now see how fast I get mad. one round
with the teammates. I'm muted on that. And then you lose your mind and then you suck for the rest of the game. So, hey,
this is why we mut our teammates, guys, because we have anger problems. Take a deep breath. Take a reset. Mute
them up. Now, we know we can't rely on them. That's fine. We know. We won't rely on them in the future. We're okay.
Now, to be fair, their call outs were good. The call outs were good. I have the problem. It's It's really This is a
me problem. So, hey, this is what I'm going to say right now. My problem is when I have teammates that are
communicating, I default to the assumption that they are reasonable and >> like can work together, right? So like
then I get frustrated when it's like a simple thing can't be done and then I play worse because I'm frustrated. So
it's actually much better for me in terms of playing well and being a good team. Yeah, that this wasn't that was
insane. >> Mission failed. What did you just do there?
I I didn't hear him diffuse. >> Hey, hey, if we got the if we needed the stuff out the wall, you would have had
the best post plan of all time. So, >> dude, I said give me a second and then you swing like a
>> die. >> Bro, I was waiting forever. What were we waiting for?
>> Bro, >> what were we waiting for? >> I was waiting for
>> Bro, you died right after me. You died right after me. You didn't even need it. >> That was a good round.
Gosh, Fox on locks, rages at teammate. >> All right. Anyway, anyway, I mean, we all saw him die
immediately afterwards as well. It's just like, do just do it. Just do it before. There's no reason to not throw
the grenade first. You know what I mean? It doesn't matter, guys. This is not This is not part of the pox method,
guys. You can't we I mean, I feel like that just had to be said. Maybe I do need to be talk. Maybe I do need to
start telling people, "Hey, man, that's a little messed up. Set some boundaries with my random teammates." The only
problem with that is like you'll probably never play with this guy again, you know? And even if you do, it's like
he's probably just going to get mad and throw the game or team kill you in most cases. Not in these ranks. Like I I I
would be surprised if I got team killed in these ranks, but definitely one of those things. I mean, I could have just
sat there and done nothing and then he died and then I'm just wasting my own time, right? I mean, we could think
about it a million different ways, but at the end of the day, I could have I should have just waited. And even then,
he still died. Like, it's it doesn't matter. The end of the day, we should just be a little more self-sufficient.
We can just just play smart. Like, play smart. Like, realistically, peeking that bandit is dumb. And the only reason I
did it is because I'm tilted. Like, I'm mad that this guy is just not grenading. So, I just make a stupid play. Like,
it's it's that simple, guys. It's that simple. So, anyway, I got to I got to really chill out here. They're going to
be tellers. Ram is banned, but we could go above with like a sledge even or a buck. I
don't play a lot of buck, but it it might be fun. It just might be a fun time. We're going to use this drone.
This give us a lot of info for top floor. We have the vigil actually upstairs, so we might want to actually
ignore that if we can. Three shields. Holy moly. Maybe we should have played the fina with the three shields on the
board. Okay, we'll follow our shields around, see where they go. Uh, we know they won't nade anymore. I guess he
wants the diffuser. I don't really know. Teaagging, >> I would assume so.
Take a look on site and just open this window real quick. A little pre-fire in case there's a guy
close. Oh my goodness, I'm lagging. N is going to miss. I see why he didn't need the bandits last round. Okay, I
think this is a different guy actually. There's nothing in sight. Warden bathroom. That's it. Two bathroom now
because of two bathroom. We've already nad above individuals dead. I can actually just hop in and potentially
buck these guys out quickly. I'm going to do this. This is very risky cuz there's a guy office. I'm probably dead.
Reload. Oh, he's close office. That's That's really too bad. I was hoping he might be
a little bit deeper. Give me a little bit more time to get to that corner, but he was already deep. So,
>> reloading. >> Oh, well, Ash got him. We do have Vert now. We still have two shields up. So,
this is a very winnable winnable round if we just open. Can you open above bathroom? Ash, I'm on your drone.
There's one on the on the showers right here. You can you can breach above them. Swing in the window. I mean, if Ash just
Ash, if you just hold this door from above, Blackbeard can plant it. I'll try to call out. Try to like this
is the thing. You can mute your teammates and still call out. I can still give them the plays, but I'm not
getting frustrated with however they're choosing to respond to it. Right. >> You can breach above this guy. He's
still in bathroom. >> Yeah. See, this is the thing. You don't need to ads this guy. You just need this
Ash to breach above, right? If you just breach above, you got crossfires on him rather than a one-on-one gunfight. And
you're fighting the SMB12, which is a headshot machine. Like, he's just going to keep headshotting you every time you
ADS him one at a time. So, really, really, really got to lean into some utility usage, especially when you're a
diamond three, right? You should be able to use a breach charge. We'll scan this guy. I'm just going to spot him. Wow,
he's shooting. Okay, apparently we use ash charges [laughter] for damage. That is why we ash charge.
All right, he wins the round. Of course, he gets Of course, he gets away with it, too. He just gets like this is the thing
like anybody if you're just playing slightly better players, you just don't win that, right? That's the thing. And
people don't understand that. So they get hard stuck because they just keep doing the thing that they think works
great. But like what happens when you play someone with better aim? What happens when you play someone who's also
good in a 1v one and doesn't like make such a silly decision like pox on locks does almost every single time he's in a
1 v one. Like what happens when you play someone who's not ass right? It's a question you kind of have to ask
yourself. But it's all good. We're up 32. I'm happy. I am not mad at all. It's okay. Do we just pick Ash just to be a
jerk? No, we don't do that. That's crazy. That's crazy. Um, who do we want to go here? They're probably going
Tellers again. I mean, sight was literally so free that we could just hit the bomb site. They had one guy on site
as the warden. Um, and they actually had one ror too with the fenry. I guess Vigil was up there, but then died.
You know, we took a high-risisk play, did not work out. I like the idea of the fina to be honest. I mean, Fina and
Shields is just kind of gross until the new operator comes out next season, of course. then you just ban the new
operator and do it all over again. It's going to be great. Um I don't know. I'm not sure how good the new OP actually
is. I I've seen a lot of discussion being like, "Oh, so OP, like best Waldor ever." And I'm just I just don't know
cuz I haven't played him yet. But uh we'll see when the new season comes around how I feel about that because uh
I didn't get my hands on it before the TTS died after literally within the first day I think the TCS was dead cuz
it was only Villa >> and you could ban the new OP. So people were doing that apparently. It's just
kind of insane. We take a look on site. We got a castle, which is interesting. Castle actually might make this really
easy for us, especially if we can get control of east stairs. I'm going to go Nomad and try to get east stairs control
because this castle is castled off. I can actually walk through and start pressuring the site windows, which just
gives you some really strong angles in the sight. So, we're going to try to abuse this castle setup. We'll see if it
works. I am not sure. Um, yeah, let's just leave our drone up. I mean, this will be good for info on
site later in the round, too. So, we'll just leave it here. They do have the cap cam we have to worry about. So, as we're
going through east, we'll be a little cautious. But yeah, I mean, honestly, this game just feels like we just have
better teammates picking better operators, right? Like they're just picking the shields. They're just
picking the stupid ops and it's working, right? And that's that's a lot of what comes down to these high ranks. It's
like if my team picks all the really dumb ops, we're get really easy kills and then the other team's going to have
a tough time getting things done. And check these stairs here. This is where I want to take
these stairs. Just gives us so much control from these angles. Have this Ella in office. Don't want him
to shoot our drone. So, let's move it aside when he takes a look. Having a tough time trying to get this drone
around here, but that's fine. But stairs is good. Again, I just want to make sure there's nothing over there. Easter's
good. See if we can find this Ela. I don't want to peek directly into him, but now we have control of the angle.
He's going to hit a nasty shot to actually get rid of me there. Reload. >> At this point, we kind of want to walk
in. I mean, slightly concerned about CC, but I think it's okay. Got to be worried about that there, Mr. Blitz. That's
okay. I think we are good here. Careful of sight as we walk through. Cap can trap. They don't get blown up by
this pipe. Going to air jab this. They want to retake through. And now we're very safe to kind of dominate um this
east stairs balcony. Right. So, we have this other drone because it was here already. You know, take a look on site.
Neut workshop. >> Call it where they're at. Ella's in tellers.
We're going to hold this Ella in here. Actually, I can actually drop down. I'm assuming passport is clear, which is a
pretty big assumption. >> Flash. >> Can actually flashbang this and air jab
it. >> I actually just hop in the sight of him. Oh my god.
>> Wow. >> Okay, new angle unlocked. I didn't think that was thing I Oh my gosh. Gosh, I
should have just taken fast. We if if you have one guy customs there actually you open up the castle, they have
nowhere to sit. Blue desk and now you have control of everything. Unfortunately, our whole team kind of
followed suit with us. One in bathroom. Yeah, Blackbeard can't just walk through and plant here. I think there's a hole
on your left BB. Just careful when you're going. There's a hole in the desk.
>> So now you see Yeah, we recharge this. Now castle is completely cooked. Where's this blitz? I want to see this blitz
just run him down. I mean, really just open the castle and this guy loses the game, right? Cuz he gave up all the
space. Good cover from the Blitz. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Okay, it's fine. Bomb's down. Nothing they can do. But
yeah, you open that blue desk castle, that guy can't sit anywhere, right? So, it's really like the problem with castle
a lot of times you're relying on you're relying on nobody opening your castle and the second one is open, your
whole strategy kind of falls apart, which is is really a tough part. So, you see the castle, just open them. Um, most
of the time. I mean, we tried to like we kind of fed into it, honestly, which is probably a little silly. This is
hilarious. He's just going to walk right past this guy. >> One friendly operator remaining.
>> He's not expecting a guy prone behind the desk at this point, right? Like, he's looking everywhere else. He's
looking everywhere else. He's like, where is this guy? [laughter] >> All right, let's get into another one.
That was uh that was a little ridiculous, but uh hopefully I play a little better next game. All right, game
number two. We are on consulate and we are playing a champion. So champ diamond one got some emeralds on the team. Could
be tough. We do have most elo again which was the ash main from last game. So we kind of know what one of our
teammates is going to do at least. I'm just kind of hoping we can get some space. I feel like a big trap for a lot
of people on this map is um I don't know what this guy's saying. I think a trap for a lot of people on this
map is just baiting on the skylights. Like that's one of the biggest issues I see especially from emeralds who we know
just kind of tend to be kind of scared to push stuff. We do have DMA demon. Yeah, DMA demon. Okay, maybe our team is
just cheating. That'd be sick, right? Let's freaking go, dude. Another day in the life, baby. Um, let's take a look.
Let's take a look. He might not be. He might just be named that. No wonder yall face cheers. Why are you all stacked
with cheaters? Maybe the other team's cheating. I don't know. I can't tell you guys.
>> I love this game. Let's take a look. Uh, I am going to want to get my drone into admin here. What is this guy's name?
Three. Three and a zero. Three and a zero. DMA demon. This guy is he just has a 1 KD. I think he I think
he might be legit. Either that or who knows. All right, we're going to try to take
Amin. If we can get our drone place in there, that'd be great. But of course, I accidentally switched drones and now
he's got Mozy hacked. Maybe we go IQ. Actually, I'm going to completely pivot off of this. I think we're going to have
C4s below with the Mazy. So, I'm actually going to hunt this guy down. Find his Mazy cams. We might have Valk,
too. So, we just want to get rid of the info, especially when we're playing a stack. And I feel like these guys are
probably stacked just cuz otherwise it would have balanced the teams a little bit better. Um,
>> you kind of have to be uh worried about the info cuz the info game is everything when it comes to these top ranks cuz
they just they will play off of where you are, know where you are because they have the info, do it. So, we want to
stop that from happening. >> Look for any drones or pests.
Take a look into Visa here. See if this uh Aussy's underneath those gonna be a much better at info denial the higher
ranks you go. So got to be cautious with these drones. It's also why like getting more info is good. Then we have the G8.
So like we can kind of compensate with >> good gun skill. See again where this is it.
>> Should be able to shoot this through the floor. >> Not going to be able to. It's fine. See
if anybody reacts to that beeper going off. Probably going to try to walk up these
stairs here. There could be a guy in tellers is the only concern. >> Reloading.
>> Again, I want to once we get in, I want to ping this for our team. >> I'm going to try to just walk up the
staircase. I'll just kind of look towards my right when I walk through here so I'm not getting shot in the side
of the head. >> Got this cade all the way up. Okay. Walk through.
this Monty behind us. I'll let Monty go first because I don't want him to uh I don't want to die and then have Monty
walking in by himself, right? We want to play off of this guy if we can. >> Nade sight door here. Just get rid of
any utility for him first. >> Go a pest. Not a whole lot, but >> prefire off that nade.
I thought that smoke would end a little bit sooner. I am a little bit worried about a flank. So, we're going to have
to go while we can. See if we can plant this long desk here. I can plant you. Cover. I'm going to try
to plant. Hopefully, our teammates cover. Could push through the door directly in front of me. There we go.
The chunk is not going to be able to find his lineup on that one. Oh, he's already crossed. That's too
bad. I don't know why Monty dropped the bomb. He does have a shield, so I feel like he
could have just planted and I can cover with an actual gun and stop them from pushing up. But, uh, he wants to cover
with the Magnum, so got to put the shield on Zach. Running through is the best option there. Oh my god, I missed.
>> The Monty Magnum was a bold strat. Too bad. Unfortunate. Not a lot we could do there. We're stuck in a terrible spot,
right? I can't plant on the doorway because there's below. If there's a guy below, I just I just die. So, safest
plan spot is where I'm at there on the table. Plus, the Tachanka fire is going to be really, really hard to land.
correctly. The only downside is once I'm there and I got the bomb down, I'm stuck between two dudes. So, I'm looking for
that Tonka thinking he's already pushed up past the doorway and as I do it, I forget about the holy get shot in the
back from the vigil. So, tough tough situation to be in. Tried her best. Should have just taken the vigil, the
fight on the vigil first, right? I think that's the only thing is like check for the Ticha. If he's not there, fight the
vigil. I think that would have been a better uh order to do it in, but hey, not the end of the world. I'll unmute
our teammate now that we don't have uh the chaos of the last game. really really too bad. But at that
point, we just need to hold, right? Like we see our teammates pushing through into the angles, just getting torn apart
when realistically, we just hold some angles and wait for them to push up. >> I'm going to break vert with Ash.
>> Okay, this guy's going to break vert with Ash. Do we trust him? He didn't do it on border. Maybe he'll do it this
time. Could play the nomad and just support him. Either that or we bring something with Harbor's tools to get the
actual floor open. Um, sorry, the hatch open. and get. >> We don't need a Maverick if we have Ash
above. That is true. I just I just kind of concern myself like if I go all in on the Nomad here and our Ash dies and we
don't get vertical, I'm essentially not doing anything cuz I'll be above, but it's not going to do much, right? Um,
you know what? I'm just going to let this guy do his thing. I'm going to completely ignore my team. That's what
I'm going to do. Drop this diffuser. I'm going to go backside, add some backside pressure.
>> See if I can do that >> by myself. Yeah, I'm not on thermite. Oh, he's
trying to say Thatcher. I think have the bandit. Yeah, we can just get the bandits off. I mean, Kate is banned as
well. So, >> bro, we don't need a therm. >> I'll I'll come with you.
>> He is right. We don't need a Thatcher or >> something so we can like break it apart. >> Uh, do you want to bring a heartage tool
for hatch though? >> Yeah. Yeah, thatcher. We don't need >> play the grim here. Bro, we're going to
get what's the name, bro? It gets to some point where you can just go, >> "Oh well, he's not going to listen. I'm
not even going to bother." I don't know why he's saying no. I mean, I think that's kind of crazy. I mean, it's
bandit. Not only is a Thatcher not work against the bandit cuz you get bandit trick, but uh
>> Oh, he just can't hear the voice chat. Okay, he's got the voice chat bug. Sure. Not only do you get bandit trick, but I
mean bandit tub, too. So, like even more reason not to pick him. Yo-yo is going to be locking this down.
There's one in CEO right now. >> I think one's upstairs with us. >> It's a Go-O and then a third floor as
well. We're going to try to kill this guy CEO. >> He has ran. Okay, maybe it was a Goyo
that did that. Entirely sure. We're going have to try to get in from third floor. No info at
this point, right? We lost all their drones. Need to start saving my drones, especially against better teams. But
kind of need to know who you want to go. Now we have problem with that. >> I tried to walk through. We had to go.
We had to go above before anyway. This guy walking up on us. >> He came out. That's Warden.
>> Have this yo-yo above somewhere too, right? >> Kind of check our corners.
>> Can we get the hatch? >> Yeah. Did we clear it? There was a go-o up here.
>> Nobody. It's all clear. I'm holding it right now. >> Holding the flank. We'll grab this
hatch. Hey, she can get wall. Get main wall outside. Look for a player pillar potentially.
>> Trying to get these bandits off with him. We already got >> right here on my
>> Go on. >> Teammates are holding flank so I can just keep trying to work sight here.
>> Try to be this guy out here. >> Yeah, I still have him bottom right here. Charge ready.
>> We can kill this guy from the bridge. >> Drop off of these and try to fight this guy. I don't think he knows I drop. So,
>> just walk on him. Just hoping that we don't get shot in the back at the same time. And it pays off.
>> Probably a guy above. So, we'll just shoot our bees. >> Take them out off the bees. Got to get
this diffuser. Unfortunately, got to take the fight above. Op four. Last operator standing.
Can we try to get a PL off maybe 40 seconds? >> Yeah, he might be in hatch though.
>> I think right under me. Right under me. >> Right under me. >> Literally right under me.
>> Slightly concerned about that. I'm planning. You're good. >> Yep.
>> Safe from there. I could die from security hall, but I'm just hoping that's not the case.
>> Still under me. He's moving. >> Try to get out if I can. But >> look for the look for the kill. Let's
play from the hatch. You guys are good. Going to listen for sound here. Sounds like he's in kitchen.
A nice angle through the rotate if he does end up peeking his rotate on him. Nice work. All right, so the clear ended
up paying off. It's just again a lot of risk, right? We don't have those drones. So, I'm going to try to keep my drone
out for the next round. Uh I'm just going to save it right from the prep phase cuz they're shooting my first
drone and now I'm just going in blind, right? I'm clearing the map, relying on my gun skill, relying on them honestly
playing poorly. like I'm relying on them to make mistakes and not be like holding the correct spaces to actually get in.
Because if they're playing it smart, like realize I just jump in and then I die to a random guy sitting in a random
corner holding it cuz I'm making noise and he knows I'm there. But because I just sat there, got in, held some space,
it's a warden. I mean, come on. The average warden runs around the map with the SMG12, you just sit still, you
probably get him. We just have to get in the map first, which required a lot of risk to begin with. So, it worked, but
it's not going to work consistently, which is why we have to play smarter, right? If you keep doing stuff that has
high risk, you're just going to like you're just going to die to stupid stuff all the time. Like, oh my god, why is he
there? And you're going to start blaming the other team instead of blaming yourself for all of the risk that you're
taking. You want to be certain in your decisions. The more certainty you have, the smarter choices you can make uh
because it eliminates that risk. I did like the Grim. I mean, Grim is just absolutely ruthless. Uh he's such a good
operator, man. Such a good operator. I am just like whiffing a little bit, which is not the end of the world. Um,
but definitely something I could kind of improve upon a little bit. Maybe lock in a little bit on the aim. I do like that
our teammates's calling out like our this guy this guy like change I swear he like he like has a split personality. He
like changed personalities for this game. He's getting a little mad at our teammate. That's okay. I can handle one
guy kind of raging. I think it's when everyone's freaking out and >> being annoyed that it kind of get starts
getting to me. But I feel a little more calm now that it's just him. Um, what do we do here? Here they are. Basement
again. They did bring I don't know why they keep bringing the bandit, but they're probably going to try to contest
our Rome game a little bit. I like the idea of a Damos or a Gridlock just so we can get that control again. I like the
Damos just so we actually push through. Uh but what I'm going to do is actually again save my drone. They have the
solless is the only thing. Honestly, we could come across from admin side, but then we're just clearing way too much.
Too much too much to do. It's going to take too long. So, I'm going to try to get in from the yellow skylight again,
but I can use my track. So I can basically because I have two drones I can figure out who is there then I can
track them and then I can start taking that space. The only problem that could go wrong like what could happen is I
track the one guy and another guy takes his spot and then I die to that guy. So it can get a little dicey can get a
little scary but if we can clear this Roma out we are almost guaranteed to win the round especially cuz they should be
contesting a little bit harder this time because they know that we can't get the wall off. Now, we could have just nated
the bandits, too, and just gone straight for the brereech. But then they still have all this vertical control, vertical
control to work against us. I'll leave this drone here. Use my other one to drum above. Now, we can kind of safely
clear everything. We see this guy under the sky. It's a Mazy. Okay. Question is, where is the Soloulless? Right. If this
Soloulless is near here, too, we're going to have some problems. Two on the third floor. Solus and Mozzy.
>> I just got C4 random. >> I'm going to track a Solless and then try to fight the Mazy. I'll find you.
And >> I could go somewhere else if I wanted. >> Found you.
>> Have this guy connector. >> Two on the third floor. >> Solus third floor. So now that we know
the Solace is up above Mazi is dead. We can track the Solus again. So I'm going to track him then end up just dropping
on him. So let's might come down spiral. I'm going to track him in a second. Try to relay the info to our team. We know
Mozy's dead. We know that was the other guy up here. It's power of drones. So now we can make the smart decision
unless they have sent another guy up here. Solstice is third floor connector right now.
>> I got two looking at me. >> We actually need this one where >> drop on it. Oh my goodness. What a crazy
play. Dropping into the >> dropping or swinging into the nade is wild.
>> Try to track another guy when I can. Great job from the team. Holy moly. >> Humans are locked in. He planted pillar
so I don't think we can >> both in sight. >> There's play time right here.
>> See you can find this >> maestro. Where's he getting shot from?
>> We have a nade for this, but it's not really in a great spot. Pull out the primary. Back it up. Break
this pipe so it doesn't work against us later on. diffuse.
>> It >> There we go. Now we won the round. >> Could not do it. Yeah. Good job, guys.
Good job. Way to get the bomb down from the team. Oh, he did. >> Could they long arm that from pillar or
am I crazy? >> No. No, they couldn't. >> Oh, okay. I didn't realize. My bad.
Yeah, going above definitely works then. I was just honestly I'm just at the point like I don't know, man. I don't
know if I want to trust the teammate here. Great job getting in getting that bomb down. You can see how you can get,
you know, you get those kills so much easier when you have people who are working together and they're just not
working together as well as we are right now. So despite them being a five stack, we are working better together, which is
why we're winning rounds. And attacking consulate ain't easy. So I'm happy. Hey, good job team. Excellently done. Now we
just have to hope that their attacks are equally as bad as their defenses and then we can win this game. But if they
aren't, which I would assume they're not, I'm assume their attacks are going to be pretty solid. So, we might uh
might be a little more tough. I'm thinking about holding admin. A lot of five stacks love pushing admin. Um, and
if we play it aggressively, we can waste their drones, waste their time, and potentially just win the round just from
holding that to begin with. Think in the Aami here. If I play the Aami in admin, I can have so much freedom to move
around. Then after they clear me out of one corner, I can use the zombies to, you know, make the play to push back
into that corner and just basically be a nuisance. Uh, so that's kind of what I'm going to do. be a little bit of a rat.
Try to get as many drones. Try to escape using those keys to block off those really powerful cut angles from like the
coffin window, which is that like small room to the right side of admin if you're looking towards it. Um, I'll show
you what I mean. >> Just in case you don't know the call outs. Um, most people know them. Most I
think most of you guys probably know the call outs by now. I don't know if I talk about coffin too often. It's more of a
it's more of a competitive call out. Reinforce the sight. Reinforce the outer wall. Pretty standard stuff. Definitely
want to make head holes along the yellow wall. A lot of people will reinforce that one. I'm not going to worry too
much about sights up. This is coffin right here. So this is a coffin window. People play in here. And this angle is
really really lethal for locking it down. But you hear the drone admin. So hey, we've kind of confirmed our
suspicion. They are probably pushing admin if they've got the drone in here already. I would like to get rid of it,
but I want to get these walls up first. So we'll just take a look for it afterwards. It is jumping around. So I
think it's actually going to be up in a one of these crazy spots like up in this beam. There you go. You put in all the
work. You wasted all that time. I mean, now your drone is still gone, so that's fantastic for us.
>> So, >> yo, they might be coming out. Oh, you're in Visa. Nice. Okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> We have a guy in Visa, which is great. We can make We can make a hole above to
hold his uh his door. >> What happened there, bud? >> Let's see if we can get this quick.
Oh my goodness. These guys are spraying through. Holy crap. Yeah, they were all over fast. Okay, so uh I didn't expect
them all to be there instantly, but there we go. That's what happens. Didn't use those KAS quite as effectively as
I'd like to. Should have probably ran straight to Coffin, but they had three dudes instantly and a drone on me and a
bees. I was uh >> that was a lot. That was a lot. So that's a five stack for you. You know,
it happens a lot quicker, a lot more coordinated, and a lot more effective. I did nothing. I was dead. I was so dead
so fast. It was insane. >> Um but hey, now we know. Now we know that. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Swing. Swing the
door. Swing the door. He's close. Swing the door. Swing the door. >> He's coming down v stairs. Come down v
stairs. He's echoed. You can push him. Smoke. Nice. Good play from the smoke. Definitely want to swing and just
alleviate that pressure while you can, right? Cuz the buck's essentially alone. One coffin.
>> Smoke's rotating. Oh, smoke's dead as well. That's okay. I mean, they got the grim, man. I mean, the You see how good
the grim is without that grim like life is life is different that round for sure. Honestly, think we just ban the
grim at this point. I don't think there's another operator that's going to be as effective for them right now. Um,
they're not playing shields, so we don't have to worry about that. The buck doesn't do a whole lot.
>> Rush or something. >> They were all admin. They were They are all an admin in Nobody.
>> I think we just get rid of the grim here. >> We could play the dinar and give up
admin and play it from the uh vending machine. >> Should I try roaming under maybe?
>> I don't know what we want to do here. >> We got it. Let's log in, I think. >> Yeah, we got it. We got it. We got it.
>> Yeah. Yeah, we got I'm going to go mute this time. I'm I'm hold >> you just mute mute up admin side. Yeah,
I'll play your uh printer side. So, I'm going to play like essentially over here this time so the windows don't affect me
and I just have to worry about this one. >> You're good. >> Asami solid. Just saying.
>> Oh, maybe we'll jer and we can do the vending setup. >> Hold that [ __ ] hard.
>> There we go. So, now we can basically poke at their admin side. >> Let's go.
>> You can bring the C4. I got the shield. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, my C4. That shit's better.
So, uh, we can basically poke out the admin side, get rid of some of their drones, and then fall back to our setup
afterwards. >> I learned a lot from the game from you, dog.
>> Hell yeah, dude. >> For, you know, years and years and years. I mean, I recognize your voice.
>> Nice, man. >> Like, the minute I heard your voice, I was like, I know I know this, dude. Come
on, brother. >> Watching his video the other day. So, good [ __ ] dog.
>> Thanks, man. Good [ __ ] to you. >> I'm doing ass. >> You guys are the greatest.
All right. >> That's okay. Hey, I'm doing ass now, too. I got to pick it up.
>> So, we're going to set our shield up here. We have the wide to protect it, too. It's a nice part, man. You get you
get some people at work with you. And it is very, very effective. Yeah, they're doing it again.
>> We can actually throw some trips like this. >> Hook it into the uh window here. Just
kind of annoying for them to shoot. This will connect if that mute jammer is gone. But there we go. We're getting
drones with this already, which is huge. We definitely want to reinforce this so we can actually play over here. We also
want to stop them from walking in spiral on us. That's a big weakness is this. If they walk through spiral, they can just
shoot us in the side of the head essentially. So, we want someone playing there, but we also want the trip to make
it easier to play in case that player dies, for example. I rely entirely on someone. And I'll show you what I mean
by that. So, right here, we can uh connect to trip. >> You somehow stuck me in the corner. Will
I am >> Is that going to that going to connect? Not quite. It's fine.
>> That There we go. Now, if they walk through there, they're good to go. I'm actually going to put a second one here.
>> Do you hear a guy on the spiral skylight? Let's hop on can one on spiral skylight. Might be a Twitch. Look for a
Twitch drone. A >> regular drone. You must defend it.
>> Go for a plant. >> So yeah, they just decide to switch up their push, which is great. Like if
these, see, we're riding this setup and we're heavily contesting it and they decide to switch. We're basically
forcing them to do something that is new to them, newer, right? Like yeah, they can probably do a CO take, but maybe our
teammates are just better at defending a CEO push. Don't want to give up admin too much cuz if somebody does see that
there's a gap or decides to just push there later, it could be bad. Yeah, they are just going for the CEO
strategy right now. Still, I'm kind of worried they go underneath to kill this Vigil and then they just go for a plant.
At this point, I'm not Yeah, there it is. Okay, >> time. Now we need to get these this man
advantage back if we can. Oh my goodness. Was not expecting the repel there, especially because they're
clearing below. One guy baiting is pretty effective. I should be dead right now.
>> I would like to get this hatch open. Go underneath and deny the plant. Oh, he's all the way deep now. That's too
bad. I feel like that was silly of me to be down like that. One's underneath. >> One's under. Yep.
>> Mine has C4 for plants, though. You guys can let them plant and just C4 it. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. You guys both have C4. You
can just back up. So, we want to just watch their backside cams. We won't Yeah. Here. Here's the
problem. Now, we're trapped. Okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Let's not freak out. Watch their backside uh cams.
The worst case scenario is they get pushed from behind and die. >> Unfortunate. There we go. So, hey, nice
switch from the other team. They brought it back. This guy in that window was absolutely lethal, man. Two guys.
Yellow. Visual gets cooked underneath. I don't know how we lost two underneath right there, but that's really the tough
part. Okay, well, we can go basement now. Our teammates disconnected sometimes, sadly.
>> Report our bottom frag, please. >> Ram, we go basement. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's a good boy. Yeah, I
think we do need to go down. Like, we we should do a heavy roam. Like, we should just let's get in her face, dude.
>> I think No. Yeah, I think you're right. >> The Ram's a good band. Yeah, we could have. We do would have been good because
then we uh cuz we're already kind of holding the space if we're roaming heavily. If they do go for a direct take
again, we have the vertical play if we are on the roam game. We definitely want some sort of traps or something just
cover more ground since we're missing a person at the same time. They have a lot of drones. So, I'm thinking solless or
vigil is also good because they're droning so much. Could just do the Mozzy, but then it's like we just don't
have enough traps, man. I'm really concerned about that. Barbwire, thorns. I mean, let's do the Arooni DMR.
Barbwire, gates, info, vigil, getting in their face. DMR, spawn peak. That's that's really where we're at. We're at
We're kind of at our like our last hope for this one. It's like, okay, let's let's try something a little more
aggressive. Let's get a little in their face and let's hope we can get some early picks cuz otherwise we're going to
lose a 4v5 anyway, especially with the way these guys are playing. Um, so we definitely want to uh slow them down as
soon as possible. I'm not going to worry too much about reinforcement and sight setup. Um although we don't want them
just walking straight into the site. This is the thing. If we're all running around trying to get these early kills,
they could just run through the site. They could rush through the yellow door and get into the site, but it's a little
risky considering it's a 4v5. So, I'm kind of thinking they won't do that. >> Let's go take a look. I'm going to run
upstairs. >> We can honestly open it if you guys all want to play up there. The problem, too,
is like they're going to have drones all over this. They got drones. They got eyes everywhere. Let's see if we can
>> find a pick on somebody potentially coming out of spawn over here. >> Oh god, I suck. I suck at the game.
It's going to waste some time on that. Even find someone front door from these vert holes.
>> I'm hearing somebody prone. I think he's prone under this doorway. See if I can shoot his drone.
>> Reach open. >> It's a metal bar, but I could totally lose his fight very easily if he's ready
for it. I was hoping he didn't drone it. He did not. >> Another one front door.
I'm going pull the pistol just so I can actually see better on this. The air jab's coming out. Air
>> bottom spiral. I can't come out >> above with this sledge. >> Sledge dead.
>> He's dead now. Great. Fantastic. Actually work our way to >> someone's still above. One's breach and
I think two above maybe. >> Yeah. Nomad and somebody. >> Try to work this bird above the We're
working vert above the vert essentially, right? >> For sure.
>> Planning planning planning. >> Try to get planter dead.
kill, boy. >> So, now we know these guys above are going to react. He's already pushed up
deep, unfortunately. >> Everybody come say everybody come sight. >> Thought I'd beat him to the angle there
and he wouldn't predict that, but it's all good. They have vert. They have vert. Careful. I got a cam. I got
default cam up, guys. I got default cam. You're You're good. >> Come back.
>> One yellow door. Try to call out the best we can. We push OT. We're in a great spot. We got
diffuser now. Care for your hatch when you come back. Thunderbird. Just don't. He was shooting so I went for the run.
>> I got I got garage cam still. He shot it. Not sure. >> Yo, V. Come back for a T-ird, bro. Yeah.
Yeah. Guys, heal. Come on. We got her. It's >> all good, guys. Just hold.
>> He's right above me. >> Too many comps. Everybody's freaking out, which is actually kind of a like
it's 2v3. You just need to all hold angles and hang out. >> You're good.
>> Don't give them pics. Yeah. Yeah. Hatch is open. >> I can call your yellow door. It's also
gated off. Just hold the hatch drop if you can. >> So if he drops, just everybody swing.
>> Yep. >> Yellow. One yellow door. Mute. Don't die to the police.
>> Uh-oh. Vigil's getting a little too crazy. >> There it is. Vigil is making prank plays
right there. >> V just needs to not peak. Can we drop hatch? Drop hatch. Yellow. Yellow.
Yellow. Close. Close. He's in. He's in. In pillar. Followed up the best I can. Nice, dude. Nice.
>> Great work, Thunderbird making the plays. You do have to swing when he drops, right? You can't let him get deep
on the site or he is going to have some really, really good fights. So, you want to kill him the second that guy drops.
Very, very nice. >> All right, made it to OT. Still in a 4v5.
Wow. Okay, that's, you know, I'm pleasantly surprised with winning that round, but I'm happy about it. But yeah,
you see like so this is the thing like if you just take that layer above the bomb site, it is fairly countered by a
third floor realm, right? Like you can make vert above that front door. You can also make vert above the window hop in.
You can make vert above the vert they're making. You can open the hatch. Like there's so much you can do. So you kind
of need one guy to actually go and hold that space if you're playing people that play like this.
I am honestly pretty concerned about >> this roam. >> I'm going to play the thorn. I don't
have the vert ability with the thorn, >> but if they hop in that side window, I might get an easy thorn kill. And I'm
also just >> I'm feeling like they're going to kind of clear that third floor if they are
going to do that again. So something to something to keep keep in mind for myself. I'm just going to kind of run
around again. We got to play aggressive. We got to try to get these picks back early because we've technically we're
down a kill already. Get rid of some drones. Put some barbwire down. Get a little little thorn action. If he hops
in there, he might he might get a little stuck. I'm getting spotted. Uh, that's fine. We're going to reinforce the hatch
this time so we can open it for free. >> I don't know where that drone is. It's probably like somewhere in piano or the
drone hole in that piano drone hole. >> Um, yeah, I think that's I think that
should be fine. The other one I should maybe bring the cap can actually to switch it up a bit and do a thorn trap
here. Lot >> people like to tuck into that. Be ready for hostile action.
>> I'm going to look third floor. I'm going to again see what we can find over here. Maybe I'm find a guy coming out spawn
this way. >> Really rare somebody spawns over there and walks over here.
He'll wrap around this window. See what we can find >> in that main wall. Going to work my way
back down. Place your Thunderbirds down before you peek. >> Unfortunate Vigil with the first pick is
tough. It's not the end of the world though. >> Oh, that's you. You scared me. He's
right above. >> Think we can find this guy in the brereech. Honestly,
>> trying to get out of here. >> Looking for the pick. I I feel like pushing that guy is a good play.
Unfortunately, we got a kill the second I did it. So, I didn't actually need to do that. If we can alleviate that breach
pressure, we just have so much more space freed up as a thing. So, if I can kill that guy, I'm surprised he just
swung into the >> last tough. If we can kill that guy, it's going to make the round a whole lot
easier. They know the last one's above, so they're just going to go deep through the site. He's going to grab He's
planting front side. One's yellow. He's already He's already prone prone on the right side of the yellow.
>> Oh my god. Holy [ __ ] >> All good. >> No, he's up there. Nice roam.
>> I didn't. I mean, we only had one person. We can win this. >> We only had one person on the room. I
think I was the only one on the roam. >> Yeah. >> Um,
>> I don't know what he expects me to do. >> You threw the razor bloom, right? And then once it blew, I blew up.
>> Yeah, I was trying to get him off the brereech there. You're not Roman Reign. I don't know who
that is either. Turns out I don't know anything, guys. Um, yeah, you definitely have to contest
the I mean, it's a 4v5. I don't know what they expect us to do here, but I'm just trying to be as annoying as
possible as frequently as possible, right? >> And get rid of that that pressure if we
can. >> The Monty could work here. It's just like we just it having the man down
instantly makes it so we have to try to take it's really a lot harder to take space, but we still need so much
pressure, right? >> I think we could play the snake potentially find a gap like bathroom
window, try to hop in like if we can get into sight and be because they're probably going to extend out, right?
like if they're smart, and we kind of know they're smart just based on the ranks, they're going to be extended out
across the map um and they're going to hold a lot of space. So, if they're doing that, it's easier to actually make
those plays onto site because there's more gaps potentially. Now, if they're playing, you know, trap ops, then
there's less gaps to find. >> I feel like I feel like we can clear admin.
>> This guy wants to clear admin. That could work for sure. >> Yeah, it's the best bet.
>> Take a look. Let's uh maybe we go >> We're spawning on the wrong side. Change this one. We could go the grim, too.
>> I like the snake here. I mean, >> we just need more info, I think, is the big thing. We have the Monty, but um
>> they should have gaps, especially if they're playing like the dock, the soulless, the vigil operators like that.
And because they have gaps, we can push through with the snake using the scanner to find those gaps essentially. Quick
and easy. Quick and easy way to find the gaps with the snake. Going to be I'm actually going to I'm going to watch for
this run out. >> You guys want to get on the repell? I can hold your visa run out.
Unfortunate. Uh, admin's clear right now. >> Not to us. Can we take it quick?
Hey, let me get on your window. One sec. Going to try to get a round so we get a crossfire on. They could run out sight
here. >> I don't know where this guy just went. Wow. He's just he's just tanking.
>> I don't know where the dock is at. >> He's in coffin. In cough. He's running back. back. Holy crap, we just tagged
this guy a million times. >> Turns out the dock is the wave. Oh, the thorn traps everywhere.
>> Oh, he ran out front door. Okay, there it is. About time. I was wondering if it would happen or not, but I was just
thinking about repelling in that window. I just wanted to reload first, but it's not the end of the world. 4v5, what can
you do? Not a whole lot. It's all good. Want to thank you members for supporting the channel even further. Hopefully you
guys enjoy the game. Finally, Doc is dead. I mean, we tried. We hit him. We hit him about 40 times, but as Sims are
actually end up being the ram where he was kind of clutchinated. >> Tough game. Adios. We'll see you guys
next time. Hopefully enjoyed. Peace.
Mute toxic teammates early to avoid tilt and performance drops. Instead of expecting teamwork, play self-sufficiently and rely on your own utility. Use pings and callouts when helpful, but assume you cannot depend on randoms for complex tasks.
Set up Office with barbed wire and rotate holes, use Thorn traps to slow balcony pushes, and anchor CCTV to contest east and window. Rotate early when losing space instead of forcing bad fights, and prioritize holding key map areas like east stairs.
Save drones in prep phase and clear top floor first to track roamers, using operators like Solus or Mozzie. Once the roamers are flushed out, methodically clear the floor with a teammate before planting. Use vertical play from yellow skylight to drop on defenders.
Peeking a Bandit out of frustration is a common mistake that often leads to death. Instead, wait for a grenade or other utility to deny the trick. Rushing the peek gives the Bandit an easy kill and wastes your life, hurting your team's chance at breaching.
Avoid using Ash charges for damage instead of opening vertical angles, breaking your own Castle barricades (which opens angles for enemies), and proning in doorways where you're an easy target for jiggle peeks. Always prioritize utility for map control and site setup.
Choose operators that support self-sufficient play, like Oryx for hatch flanks (though better in stacks), Grim for clearing corners, Nomad for flank denial, and Azami for wasting time with aggressive holds. Finka with shields is strong, but adapt to your team's needs and your own strengths.
First, check for area denial like Tachanka fire that will interrupt the plant. Then, clear remaining defenders like Vigil before committing to the defuser. This prevents losing the plant to a last-second denial and ensures a safe execute.
