we can see the numbers here on Steam charge DB where this game casually already charge on something like 160 30 currently let's say just today it's like 153k CCU so it's pretty wild yeah that's pretty wild because this is these numbers are like the lunch numbers of some of the big games and it's only downhill from there and this is L you mean the [Music] this is a no [ __ ] gaming show where we talk about games and their revenue in great detail powered by our ad monetization game design and user acquisition Triple Threat expertise welcome to the two and a half Gamers the unfiltered truth served with a side of giggles
let's not forget this is a 400 a.m. conference discussion Vibe so let's not take it too seriously tune in now and stay two and a half steps ahead of the gaming industry hello ladies and gentlemen welcome welcome to another episode two and a half Gamers it's uh my name is Matel lerich my name is yier and this is your usual 4 a.m. VIP yeah it's it's night and we are your hosts and all obviously phly is not here because we are actually playing a game he coming PC one a PC game yeah and as you can see uh the background it's deadlock so it's going to be a lot of fun uh and uh what else it's quite hyped at the moment yeah even though it's secret pretty much it is but it's not you know you can get the
invite so guys if you need invites let us know I already got one for yeah join our SL I already got one for ycob which was atrocious so yeah the backstory was Yak was waiting for the invite for what like a week or something then I got invited I waited for the actual like inv to come yeah I mean game email you know and then I just got into the game and then suddenly everything was possible so so there you go also guys if you need any help let me know I can make things happen apparently I'm kind of handicap uh because well we wanted to record this on Friday we recording on Sunday and I got well I was in hospital for several hours because I cut my finger quite quite badly so let's see if I will be actually able to play well we'll see we'll see we'll see it was quite good um as usual let's let's let's talk for some
numbers um so this is a game from valve the valve the guys that run Steam Counter Strike and DOTA exactly for those who don't know it's one of the most profitable companies in the world they literally have like wait wait wait wait isn't that Mor isn't that Mr Moreno Mayo from on the last podcast that's may be possible also but the I think these guys are higher volumes because they're Lally 37 million per employee or something last I saw that yeah is not there yet Google is something like 2 million or something just to com comparison okay um so the numbers even though this is a invite only can of close beta but it spreads like wildfire as you can see we can see the numbers here on Steam charge DB where this game casually already charge on something like 160 30 currently let's say just today
it's like 153k CCU so it's pretty wild yeah that's pretty wild because this is these numbers are like the lunch numbers of some of the big games and it's only downhill from there and this is lunch you mean the the numbers we had for lunch today or the weekend or loue number Louch numbers yeah but uh let's see how how this goes like people before even didn't believe that this game exists and now again yeah it's it's kind of easier to kind of get invited into it so you can go into their uh red Channel there's people inviting you can go to our slack and we can invite you and it's it's like not that hard to get into it very interesting thing by the way uh oh yeah there was a new update and match ranking is now open 247 thank God because before matchmaking would be only from 2:00 p.m. till 3:00 a.m.
which time zone so yeah we were kind of lucky that we didn't record this in the morning yeah um regarding the um what we want to talk about today for for those who don't know uh this is a very specific genre which is a mix of MOA and shooter which basically means that the game is a mix of pretty much two biggest wve games that they have which is strike and DOTA so it has a map of uh DOTA but you have a control of Counter Strike that's the tldr if you want to see and yeah thank you very much for listening that that's it yeah let's go first through some of the mechanics because it's really interesting how they mix these two genres together and uh yeah the end game result means that this product has like a double the skill ceiling of these two things spoiler alert it's hard as [ __ ] I mean not not
hard but still lot of combinations those it's one of those magical easy to learn hard to master or I don't know if it's even easy to learn it's kind of hard to learn hard to master maybe I mean yeah if you don't know what to do you will fail quite if you haven't played mobas you you will play heavily because it's uh people are discussing this on Reddit a a lot currently that it's like 80% MOA 20% shooter and so on so forth but I think as as people can overcome this MOBA phase when they learn the because mobas are basically about shopping is literally about you being able to shop proper items for your character in a situational context of your enemy on your lane on your team on your whatever because well is that micro and micro micro and micro mro and micro micro and micro yeah something like that like mobas are literally so so let's let's take mobas uh for instance so you need to know your character you need to
know the matchups of your character so it means that you pretty much need to know the skills of every single character in the game and there's [ __ ] ton of them like here there's like what is like very early on yeah there's 20 what 21 characters already in the game and mobiles have something like in vicinity of 50 to 100 depends on their life cycle but anyway each of these are kind of unique and uniquely they are countered or you know overcome other characters in their l so you need to know for this is one of my favorites you need to know all these skills which one to pick which one to can use which abilities to get so on so forth and this is just the mobile part so you need to know which things to build which like items to shop like we have here in this like giant shop it's a little bit simplified than the usual mobile version where you have like items inventory they need to switch and blah blah blah and stuff like that so I guess that that's that's great it's not that hardcore just randomly picked things
that uh was okay obviously from the beginning which is yeah which is not IDE the shopping part is kind of streamlined compared to DOTA but still it's super super important because people that actually know how to do these things need to read the situation and only then buy the things so let's say if you're in the lane and you get character X against you you should pick these things because they counter his skill set if you in a lane with the same character and you get a different character against you why character you should be different against things because he's a whatever one is a mage the other is it's like you know it's like running a UA campaign making decisions B making decisions based on scenarios like what's what's happening yeah yeah yeah and and and we're still we're still like between the basics of like MOA stuff like then there whole thing about like laning pushing map awareness even jungling for those who don't know jungling means that there's literally dedicated character
that doesn't follow the three lines and he goes into the jungle which is like the term from old Tota which means he goes into the neut neutral mobs so he doesn't kill the mobs in the lane he kills the mobs that are in in like in the forest or whatever that respawn and he gets extra XP basically and extra resources because nobody's killing them except the enemy jungler and then he literally his his role in the team is to gank other lanes with their respective colleague and kill the characters that are on like op so like there's like [ __ ] ton of stuff like genre wise that you need to know even how to play moas and now that we have this giant skill ceiling to begin with we duct taped Counter Strike on top of it why not because as you can see in a second uh they have this by the way very very nicely crafted tutorial thing where it can shows you what you need to do and uh just by these basic cont rolls as you can see you have the
usual like hero shooter lineup here pretty much so it's yeah maybe I I I kind of a better comparison would be not really Counterstrike but OverWatch so as as a hero shooter but uh yeah it's it's still kind of okay so just going through these things so you have the typical jump you have of course the shooting thing you have zooming you have your abilities you have jumping over the ledges you have melee attacks you have stuff like sliding you have stuff like double jumping you have stuff like dashing you have stuff like air Dash again Dash jump even Parry if you're attacked by melee attack and like you do all these other things so there's a big kind of a shooter skill ceiling that you
need to hit in order to master all these things to can use them intuitively on top of all of the mobile genre knowledge that's kind of being being represented here because if we go here uh and just just the basic thing so here yep the usual lines uh because this is not 5v5 but actually 6v6 so there are more lines than the usual three versus three that you can find in typical DOTA now it's 4v4 then you have your typical mobs that kind of Fight For Eternity that are like the background of the game that you need to support these mobs are by the way also kind of specific I'll get to it later uh then you have these Guardians this is also like an interesting thing they did there because these are pretty much your Towers so they are not really units I mean they are units not like a static buildings as they are in like usual L gen mobile genre then you have these Walkers which are bigger towers as you see here the Guardians are in the
front line Walkers are somewhere in the back line and then there's the base with this kind of a patron that again yeah there we go might goes there yeah so the patron Patron is pretty much the main building and if it gets destroyed then this kind of circle kind of spawns in and then you destroy the base you win the game that that's that's pretty much the same uh yeah the interesting really interesting thing is this Transit lines and now we're getting to the iteration what they change compared like they change [ __ ] on but what they iterated based on the usual mobile genre so you have these Transit lines which are literally like a subway system that will get you to the Lane that you that you pretty much prefer um the interesting thing is that if we yeah you have these four lines they're literally named based on the color so you have the like yellow Lane which is the blue and purple yeah orange blue
blue is like what is like forgot the name uh doesn't matter but they will kind of drive you to the point that you are currently pushing so if you push all the way to let's say here in the enemy territory they will drive you right there to the action which kind of speeds up the game you also have this one boost called zip line boost which means that you get like a permanent like a in in mobas it's like teleporter skill and and here it's pretty much something similar where yeah but there's a cool down on it yeah it's cool same as there but it's default that's my thing you don't pick this everybody has it yeah so that's true and I guess this is an iteration because it's a shooter and the map is so big compared to the usual kind of League of Legends TOA thing so this thing kind of helps to to to manage the session of the game but still like how long is the session man like it's quite long still 25 minutes 20 30 depends on the team like if you're winning you can get it
under 25 if you if you know like equal it can like DOTA games can drag on like our plus of course and this is the same thing I would say it's pretty much the same as as their usual I was playing one match for 40 minutes and it was way it was not even close to the end oh okay I guess like the typical thing like don't expect something that's uh like within some whatever mobile session this 10 minutes 15 it's not not [ __ ] happening this is typical MOA like nothing to it so this zip line system is great because I think it kind of manages things these things with with an order um the different system that they introduce here is this Soul system which is an iteration on what uh moas have again because and this is very important so in League of Legends they simplifi this system from the original like
blizzard battl net DOTA version where in that version you were not only supposed to last hit the mobs to gain the the like golden money which is like one of the main skills of like mobile players but you were also supposed to kill your own mobs kind of last hit them to deny the golden XP of the opponent uh later as guys were making League of Legends and and DOTA League of Legends simplified this so you don't need to do it in League of Legends in the denying card you only need to L it your most so it's easier in Dota you need to do still do both so it's a little bit more hardcore here they kept it also a little bit more hardcore because you have these Souls that if you kill a unit this kind of a soul orb comes from it and if you don't shoot the soul or doesn't matter you still get the souls but your enemy can shoot the orb and deny you Souls yeah so you can shoot it yourself first
to get it faster uh denying the enemy the chance to deny you uh yeah here I think it's the stealing Souls thing where again this is an enemy and you can shoot these if if you want to deny him the orbs there we go so and I think it's much more harder to do it in a shooter kind of first person view then then you're usually like just clicking from the isometric mob view just saying because there's like so many things that you need to shoot now in order to be super efficient so yeah this is one of those like we added skill ceiling and then we double it uh ability points this is pretty much again the same uh as as you kill more and more mobs you get more XP or like the Souls which turns into both XP and money and then you get these abilities for player again kind of similar mobile
setup doesn't matter then you have these shops and uh this is again an iteration because there's the typical kind of main shop in the base but there are shops also near your kind of line towers and they are open until somebody destroys the tower on your lane so you don't need to go back to the base to shop you can shop directly at your lane like at the front line but the moment somebody destroys your Tower the shop closes and you're push back and there are of course two shops uh in the middle of the map which are kind of universal for everybody but again you can meet enemy players and get killed if you're not kind of careful there but uh yeah this is again really nice iteration because it again speeds up the game you're not forced like in typical mobile which there's just like three shops one in each base and then the secret shop in the middle so yeah here again you they streamline this thing a little bit more which I really like uh uh buying items again you have
these different tiers kind of similar to MOA where some of the items are like the base ones then the later ones and then like upgrades of the base ones and then like super super good ones whatever they have these SS again like kind of similar system again it's a little bit streamlined I'm I'm really liking that because a lot of things they streamlined actually and some of the things they you could see that they like try to keep the skill ceiling as it is so so we really need to get that like hard to hard to learn hard to master part it can remain there um last thing yeah we already went through it so again you have the full kind of a even more than a hero shooter or Counter Strike and move set where you need to master all these like double jumps dashes air dashes you have basically stamina that like you can use these skills but you know it's a shooter so you move a lot yeah you move a lot and you need to move a lot constantly
and the map design is very very special like the level design I mean like there's lot of obstacles and lot of these choke points positions that you need to kind of Master the positioning or where you should like supposed to shoot your enemy and it's for instance is really beneficial to even like slowly Nimble at your enemy to force him to go to the base to heal heal himself because again he's losing time on not killing mobs not denying you mobs you pushing your Lan so on so forth so is these like micro and macro things that again ah here we are very very like like one thing is like being able to shoot and then the other thing is like being able like with like the mobile things like shopping map awareness the matchups St like all these so there's a giant skill ceiling in order to kind play this game efficiently or play this at like very high level that's that's definitely which are not there yet which are definitely not yet we just didn't have much time to practice this anyway no well um the good thing is that there's like a lot of Heroes uh there's these
like thumbs up symbols which literally means great for new players what does that that even mean like great for new players um great for new players means that they are much more streamlined and you don't really need to be that skilled and know all these kind of ins and out of some of the heroes for them to be efficient because for instance uh I think like this one is pretty good but the again if you don't know what to buy for him how to play him how to like efficiently execute his combos you'll probably lose because you just didn't invest enough time to learn him uh compared to something like Abrams for instance which is like a very streamlined tank like get health and damage and just you know get regenerations that doesn't need let's say that many skills that you need to aim for you just press a button or there's like passives that you know just get more regenerations so like directly stronger so it's just easier uh not saying that he's not strong just
saying that like some are easier to learn play and easier to master let's say so that's there um yeah what we have here the shop itself yeah we went through this again like just three categories with weapons well there is also the category of like a builds in in the game there we can we can actually go into it maybe let's try this thing and just go into if you if I if if I can leave the Q for for a second okay so leave leave the party there's the the big red button right there where I'll leave the party okay maybe we'll get that back later but let's say let me just go into like a quick quick uh match in order to show you some of the things here and then maybe we can go into like a real game yes absolutely so you see you have even like suggested
and stuff like that so they try to like ease this hard to master thing because it's like is is not really like easy easy to easy to master so now we're zip lining on that line as I told you you see there like the zip line speed tools that I can press which I shouldn't because you never should do this in the beginning of the game yeah that's what I that's what I read as well yeah one very interesting thing which they don't say in the tutorial because I was researching this these Souls that you you know you have these guys and see that there are the souls there we go um so these Souls actually give you just I think half of the XP now that that is projected into that orb and you can get it again you can deny that but after 10 minutes of the game there will be you will get these the XP from these mobs only when you shoot the orbs so it actually gets harder after 10 minutes uh let me get some skills here it's also
very important to to make sure that you understand where are your mops and which mobs of them there are actually yeah because you have the Healer next to you as well yeah yeah there's the Healer one which carries the flag I don't know if if we have he died he died he died he respond one second where he is yeah here he is so there's a Healer so you need to stick to this guy because he actually heals you from time to time and again being able to to play this efficiently to lose as as less XP HP as possible and to like destroy as much xp as possible is the difference between win and loss so for instance here you see like enemy Heroes yeah let's let's try to pretty much make as much damage as possible into [Music] them see I can you have you can also by the way use like a yeah melee so you see if I melee a guy I get like immedi mediately all the souls from it no or
for instance also it's uh you can you can charge as well the the melee attack yeah yeah um where we are this is held region yeah for instance I have 900 Souls already the guy starts to suggesting like I should visit the shop blah blah blah whatever well so you go into the shop and you buy for instance for him extra health and you have these builds like default builds you can even browse builds for him and like set up your own like they facilitate this kind of as I said like the learning part pretty well that's really good that you see like you can like change this kind of default thing and tailor it to your own so next time I will be playing this guy I will be actually playing like the proper build that I want to one that I was reading online blah blah blah I don't need to have like a guide open on second monitor slows down things a little bit yeah of course there we go
I I still played only two two Heroes yet I mean which one uh the the ice one and then one other I don't remember the name but still yob is playing I'm not trying I'm not sure what you are trying to to do now or show the lane the lane well yeah like you know let's push the lane together um yeah just like this I'll just kill this guy and we can go to the to the like a real game can show it yeah because I'm not I I don't really see you killing these guy yeah that's the usual thing when I comment and then like no yeah you can't yeah exactly you can't you can't really focus help Focus it's uh you need to really focus just imagine like all the all this time I was just talking and like I never denied one of the like see for instance
here that that I denied that for for my enemy I would I would need to be doing this constantly and it's really hard because you literally need to look into a back row yeah but still friendly Guardian yeah so one thing is just as I said looking on the mobs then you see the big map on the right like looking where the heroes for instance in mobas it's really important to kind of check like if everybody is visible if everybody from the enemy team is fighting your your people because if somebody goes hidden then it means that they're probably hunting someone so you rather not overextend from your lane like keep near the tower so you not get ganked or you see this guy we can maybe get him [ __ ] kill him Jesus Christ there we go there you go great congrat congratulations now we need
to yeah let's just use the ultimate ability and there whoops it's pretty good ultimate ability by the way yeah he's pretty good as I said like this this hero is super straightforward I just like [ __ ] H kill him Jesus Christ oh my God one more bullet Ah that's a disappointment come on this a shotgun doesn't have I know I know I know I know yeah it doesn't matter we can we can go into the game and like yeah just show you the real thing yeah hopefully uh I'm not sure like the my finger will be okay and then the connection as well because it's absolutely terrible weather in Slovakia and I mean yeah we're getting flooded so I have yeah handicap teammate which by the danu
pretty much so yeah that's that's it announcement I don't want but overall I think this game is super interesting like we can already see that the appeal is there because of the giant CCU and it's not not really going down I I was kind of curious because I was like oh did this thing like kind of died down because it was last few days it was like last week it was going kind of down to something like 110k but then suddenly it went back again to like 153k so it's definitely are those weekends by the way I'm pretty sure there are weekends H could be could be I I don't think so I can like do more granularity on the graph going to get there just look at the date I can tell you yeah the weekend it's Sunday there you go of course so yeah let's could could be one of those things let's play but yeah it's it's I think like the good
thing is that uh you're pressing the button or I'm the [Music] button freely test your movements and abilities public B match private B match play that look there we go yeah and oh yeah we forgot this part you literally select the Heroes that you prefer to get so there are these three Heroes that like I really prefer this one second prefer this one and third prefer this one and then I confirm see create your rooster so you don't actually select a hero as like I'm selecting this one you're just selecting a preference which I think is again one thing that they did in order to solve the usual kind of problems with not having kind of good matchups where people are just going like everyone is going DPS carry or stuff like that because nobody wants to play the Healer or the tank yeah oh nice
okay hopefully I can get Iams because I I didn't yeah I didn't really pick Abrams so I don't care and there we go okay you this is by the way really typical for like a shooter to do like literally like Counter Strike when you're joining the server and you have this like few seconds just like looking at other people until the game starts doing nothing think hello hello yeah this is the seven guy oh you Pi pick the dish guy yeah satellite dish yes come on me with the lane yeah am I'm next to you and for some reason we are okay we can go there yeah yeah yeah what do we have against us oh there some ice guy remember I have a shotgun I don't really
have range damage yeah I know I know I know you you by the way pick the hero with the most win rate like this with most what win rate really their stats like yeah this is the character that wins the most games actually it's pretty handy actually yeah it's very easy to learn and like has super super good skill set I'm I'm having pretty much like a something like G from League of Legends for those who know like a heavy regeneration big HP where's the other guy uh upstairs mhm I just see him now right oh we we our team scored the first kill that's good
oh right where's the guy so the moment you have 500 go byy something by the way okay okay they're really pushing now okay oh maybe go back to base to heal oh H where is everybody they're fighting their own L is okay
y the left guy is kind of the problem is that they have range we don't have range oh I do kind of we get stronger later and then we can take them off but not now well for everybody listening they you should be already in your YouTube channel checking uh how we get we are getting [ __ ] faced yeah I'm getting stunned and killed a die you [ __ ] die okay I need to go to the base yeah you can go to the zip line [ __ ] somebody standun me uh if somebody shoots you on the zip line you get stunned as you saw there oh just die you [ __ ] idiot you
need to be two seconds out of combat in order to be able to zip line on these lines I'm just going there to the base to quickly heal I'll get guy [ __ ] [ __ ] I'll be done in a second I'm back okay I'm there that's great now we can push them yeah by the way like instead of Shadows they have these like Windows that you see only from inside not outside there's also like these special Souls they have there like even the neutral set of the map and like all these other additional things they're done pretty pretty well so for instance they don't see me if I shoot from here but I can see them that's interesting yeah we need to go back mobs are pushing
[ __ ] it's hard to play against long range characters if you had the short range character it's okay man just yeah on top you can see like the soul count of the of the enemy there we go thousand Souls gathered just we can Let Die
the there we go well come on oof Jesus yeah by the way I also checked that you can jump on top of these buildings like shoot from there which you can add like a lot of skill sealing stuff but if you remain on really the top ones for long it will actually uh destroy your health you can't stay there yeah check that so but but still like you see there's like [ __ ] T of position that you need to be able to master to just be able to kind of see where's the best oh [ __ ] you okay
yeah that's me oh that's you like your skill not their skill yeah okay just I I need to heal a little bit gu is pretty damage also by the way oh [ __ ] can you just die they are pretty damage also I know I know I know need to go by three something fast a almost got that one [ __ ] in them but in the end it's all about like being able to Lane properly yeah [ __ ] 17
HP did you kill them nope oh okay doesn't matter o the game is still pretty equal I think we pushed one more line there yeah ah [ __ ] okay I died no worries I'm here on the line they won't push yeah oh VY you know like see like I don't think like this is going to be end ending quite quickly yeah that's the thing like it's we are kind of pushing the right side uh it seems at least
where are you which one are you blue blue yes I want them to overextend problem is that go there because our Guardian is getting killed ah the guy's rushing me okay killed him nice didn't expect it well I just cut in Cut here as well so don't yeah but they will destroy our Tower so fact with the shop okay there's two guys there let's I need to go to the base yeah so now that our Tower got destroyed the guardian guy it means that our shop got disabled there so only the base shop or like shop in different lines they're able and there and I don't
just remember what I need to buy I think was this called front yeah um so actually you can buy active and passive abilities you see here that I have these like four slots per one of these other things and then these Flex slots which are like the extra slots that you can get when you unlock after team destroys all enemy Guardians unlock after your team destroys enemy Shrine unlock after your team destroys two enemy Walkers so pretty much as the game progresses you get more and more of these like extra slots to can reinforce the the thing that you're winning pretty much and now my blue line for instance will drive me only to the point that like to the front line pretty much to help my here not to the place we were there before yeah I need to get the ultimate ability now there's so much things that you need to kind of keep in your attention budget
this is very very high skill SC I think League of Legends is easier literally than this just maybe I'm just going to used to so many different things why are we killing neutr mobs yeah there's a guy behind us oh okay you're right he got scared of me because I went di [ __ ] on him scared of you jeez okay yeah so map awareness is in the end everything especially in the end game like if you don't follow the map or like can't gank people properly do these other things and like control hero it takes a lot a lot of Master and you you should be able to do these things subconsciously literally let's kill that guy he's like super weak
yeah I know I know I know I'm trying there we go nice see they still don't know how strong we are because we didn't went AP [ __ ] on them yet now we can push maybe the guardian yeah let's let's do that kill the mobs primarily first so our Mobs Can tank him don't wor trying to kill all of these mops okay new mobs are spawning in do as much damage as possible I think you K him nice yeah amazing yeah now we killed their Guardian so they won't have the shop anymore see they nearly nearly catch it but they didn't now we have the advantage of the mobs pushing them back that's good we should go buy something in the shop hm yeah we should oh no four Heroes let's
go okay a lot of people got our attention I guess see Flex SL unlocked you unlock Flex rocking all enemy Guardians so we are actually winning nice I need to I need to go to buy something in the shop because let's just go back and hold these guys so need they won't destroy our Tower here see they're getting push back by like yeah this is pretty much stupid because they went like not prepared nice easy easy easy easy peasy I mean they're already here yeah the friendly Walker is getting down like they're having a pretty big push here okay we can we can stand this we can don't worry I will push them back it's fine
okay nice wow what's that I have no idea that's interesting oh Flex unlock you unlock Flex kill two enemy Walkers I have 4,000 Souls I need to go buy something [ __ ] where here ah on top on top yep let me go there by the way going mely on these Heroes can be super beneficial very yeah see there we go it's equivalent of Counterstrike knife literally I just did that there's a lot of these like uh movement abilities and you need to be really super aware like how to use them
and be able to escape situations CCS stuns stun locks and all the slows and I don't know what okay we killed another one of the characters now we're pushing them pretty hard that's good yeah I think it's is like first time maybe that we win something on on the podcast maybe on the top there is the the guy okay so they have two that just make sure to let the mob tank The Walker he's nearly dead oh there we go nice that's really nice what's happening what's happen who's there oh I'm a
guy oh four of them okay nope thank you how many four four four four go back okay not then don't leave don't leave don't leave I'm not leaving I'm just like taking the aggro you know I'm tank yeah well you I would really need a shop now yeah that would be nice I have like 6,000 Souls yeah for those listening it's literally
really preferable to go on YouTube because you won't have that much out of this yeah well you need to you need to check what we're doing here otherwise like oh [ __ ] [ __ ] we got like too many people there in the line but it doesn't matter I think we should push the green one on on our side because it's kind of I push too much buy stuff in the meantime when you're dead so oh yeah yeah do many people died I think what this 17 minute already we are actually losing if we look at the things on the right side and then two here which are kind of someone is friendly work he dying oh yeah on the blue line it's it's kind of tough what I want it heing booster yeah I think I wanted
that and I wanted what that I wanted how much just don't know anyway uh Green Line need to push that [ __ ] don't upst there [Music] forit there's lot of them coming down the line we need to now stop them instead of us this is the thing that these games can switch like in a second even though you're winning there's a lot of kind of comeback mechanics there's also the usual kind of boss in the map there a typical for mobas that like can be killed gives you a lot of bonuses to to the team that kills him so yeah they crafted it very very
carefully die okay we killed that one guy okay that's good yeah we should definitely go finish that one other guy well I'm getting uh okay another killed one where's the other guy okay I'm going to ambush from here I got see killed that's a nice Ambush quite heavily but it's uh they're coming from from the behind man I'm I'm I'm there I'm I went into their back
see killed all of them there you go there you go that's the map awareness I told you I just went into their back and there we win now we can freely push until like half of their team is dead and nobody can stop us which is the thing that you're looking for yeah I know then I have 5,000 Souls again I need to spend it somehow h but yeah it's about like 20 minutes and I think this is a pretty fast game still 20 minutes yes 20 minutes now pushing coming in the blow Lane now I should do the zip line speed boost no by the way shoot the people on the zip line on their side because it will stun them yeah okay I'm getting very very big damage down there the thing is like don't really push on one line just push on every line because like you end up in
these like 6v6 constant team fights which isn't really that good like I just died there where's my KDA by the way 346 is not that bad expect it worse but yeah let's let's buy some more stuff what was it berser there we go improved bullet armor that's what we want yeah so the let's say mid to end game phase is kind of pretty much the same I got stuck in the with the anchor in the ice uh you should push the yellow line to see how it's going to close to our line not that sounds good the green one actually green one's okay yellow's getting problem [Music] our Guardian is going to be dead there
like few minutes the thing is at the end of the game the mobs are pretty much useless you just like one shot them because everybody is super strong like I'm like in the beginning everybody super fragile like candle guys can literally kill you but then in the end like you literally like one shooting them so you can push these things kind of very very fast like the the game pretty much accelerates as your typical mobile so the key is to not overextend here to kind not get ganged by other people yeah like it's currently happening here as I already see it let me try to switch line and not get an attacked [Music]
see wasn't able to see the person there we go killed him one V one in clean fight free SL unlocked okay uh where is the yeah we need to go back because now we're getting killed mhm the other interesting thing that did
here is that it's not your typical end game where like every everybody just like respawns super fast near the fountain Fountain like in the like your base and like just goes there it can still be done like with these zip lines the like the E and flow can of switches really fast because you just I got disconnected oh really can you reconnect then y i should be be fine I'll rejoin nice oh that's good easy I was like what why is why is nothing working oh nice there you go yeah this is fine this is great actually that I can rejoin because it I was already like [ __ ] what what should I do we need to push our lines because like we are pushing from two other sides but they just went back buy anything
now oh die jeez there you go what oh got killed so fast what was that how come on from left okay that was a gank yeah green line is still being pushed the problem with end game is that Heroes downtime when you get killed gets uh longer and longer so you see here like we have just three Heroes left and the other people are down with like 30 seconds Co down timers yeah which means that they can push pretty hard now but the interesting part is that during the time they're pushing our two guys are also in their base pushing also they should really reconsider returning
because their whole team is maybe pushing here but ours doing the same okay but maybe you know enemy Shrine destroyed okay but now we might be also destroyed as well because it's let's see two versus four of them now it's 6v6 and now we're going to kill them and they overextend you'll see because they're not near Patron kill the mobs that's the most important part see where's that that girl [ __ ] hell I'm not sure that who is going to is going to lose or win because our friendly Shrine is going to is getting fued but that's okay I know yeah just two
people there you go like like these two [ __ ] idiots are there just killing us from the we have left hand side and I don't think it's going to be enough we'll see like this is the point where like it's not really clear what will happen because well friendly Patron is getting really really yeah friendly pattern should like kind of do something about it now they're really pushing us okay now we're probably dead yeah Paton is transforming transforming yeah when they kill the base actually it needs to First transform and then we need to kill it again I think or some kind of other setup here so it's not that streamline is like just kill the base and that's it maybe we can still save it let's see 3 seconds see friendly P turn weakened let
me go there the [ __ ] is this Jesus what like sniping losing losing but yeah it was kind of very very equal until some point but then then we lost there yep some anyway yeah uh yeah I guess people that know what they're doing area kind of P because we were half the time not doing what we were supposed to do as usual um yeah but this is this is like how a typical game looks like you have some graphs where you can see how like the soul collection kind of went there and like we went yeah definitely behind here at the end like before we were like over them but then like afterwards yeah you can see that some scoreboard statistics and the usual
kind of thing and yeah that's pretty much it the other interesting part is that this game has currently no progression like none at all so yeah for that I guess we'll need to wait what they will kind of give us for later because this is something similar to like a the supercell rise game that we covered where it's just like the core gameplay but this is definitely not just core game super flashed out core gameplay but there's no progression no kind of between matches XP level skins nothing so my guess is they're going to go for something triy and tested again like a mix of like something that work with the DOTA and Counter Strike or something like that but yeah I don't really have the like the latest regarding those progressions so don't really want to dable into that I guess we'll get there as as guys from W un reveal their actual progression that will actually put into this game but I don't think so it will be any different
regarding its functionality so no pay to win mostly skin cosmetics and maybe some just like other quality of life things on top that's it maybe I don't know other than that I don't mostly skin economy I think so we'll see anyway um I guess we lost M So yeah thank you for watching as said this is much more pleasant on YouTube than on on on just listening this a podcast feel free to join our slack if you want the invites to this or have any other questions and yeah of course we'll see you next time see you [Music] [Music] [Applause] a [Music]
