Bingo Brawlers Vs. Catalystz

[@rimonino]

Once there is a meta and optimal plays are mapped out, and everyone involved is at a pretty high skill level and is familiar with that meta, making an unpredictable--and oftentimes suboptimal--play becomes valuable. Recently in SC2, Serral (often seen as the GOAT) was beaten by Solar in a game in which Solar used a suboptimal and non-meta early aggression build that Serral no longer knew how to counter. Also, for people who are so convinced that catalystz cheated, just watch his VOD. My suspicion was piqued too, so after the matches were over I went to check from his POV and like...1) he wears glasses, so you can see the reflection of screens he has in front of him, and there was nothing there 2) his chat wasn't weird, some suggested restoring the GR like ASAP and that square was mentioned every time he finished an objective 3) he narrates his thoughts quite openly, you can listen to him talk about making risky plays Also big ups to Bushy for not indulging the whole cheating accusation nonsense even though his chat did. Good gameplay, hype match, really glad he's been competing!

I got a stupid thought. At the moment you have 4 of 5 bingo, ending with radahn great rune, and then think like “I'll let my opponent time sink into it while I make 2 squares towards another bingo”, what if you just work towards radahn great rune immediately, because there is another Radahn square on the board and both opponents know it. Than there are two possibilities: either you telegraph you killed radahn and the race continues, or your opponent telegraphs he killed radahn and then does not know you even have the Altus and killed or almost killed radahn, and so sits on great rune square enough for you to be able to get it. Or of course he doesn't and you loose both squares. But in current state of the game he must likely will sit in the square he telegraphed the lead on. I know this is an afterthought when I have all the info, but hear me out: telegraphing progression square and then sitting on the actual square is too omnipresent in the current state of the game, like nobody even hesitates post-poning squares they have the lead on. Sitting on the square should be punished from time to time, otherwise it becomes too ubiquitous.

I hope you keep doing edits to these like the lilaggy video you did a few weeks ago. Definitely my favorite content on KZbin rn.

Dude you got lobster shot at the end 😂

[@420thlegioner8]

He really had this easy tho...

[@SuperGwin]

That was a good game Bushy!!

[@thevillain8151]

Colum 3 looks so easy

[@just-a-rock-524]

Man this match is fucking crazy… what’s even crazier is the wack ass drama going on in the chat with them mods bushy’s got. Get your shit together mods!

[@prismaticc_abyss]

wait the mods were in on the "cheating" shenanigans?

[@just-a-rock-524]

@@prismaticc_abyss no one of them was just super annoying with the “no speculation” rule… a bit hypocritical with the selection of who they banned and even when it was common knowledge someone mentioned they still got the boot which is a bit overboard imo.

[@dq_dipped_cone7142]

Should’ve rushed Radahn you think about it to hard

[@anubisperry7234]

Right imo no summons block done, kill him with the physicks another block done and activate his ruin...that's 3 blocks done with one fight

[@Nidhogg]

catalyzst had a sea of people screaming "rune" at him in his chat. not saying he was intentionally cheating but there's gotta be stricter rules about what's allowed in chat

[@GM-xk1nw]

Most chats do that, they can't help themselves

[@KelrynGrey]

Last season once it was more important there was no chat.

[@Dan_d00d]

Bushy, have you seen a Somber 7 fast access - ainsel river main from Rennas rise, after Blu-retta. there is a tree jump skip into the rise. Saw it today on Ginos flail only run vid . I think its highly useful for possible +9 or high damage needs in some cases (ofc the +4/+6 dragon weapons are already doing the job)

[@AnActualDinosaur]

Crazy match!

[@eurosn7322]

Bushy you always have bad luck with tournaments while being well above average player... I remember you being matched against Kolemoen 2 times first round when you were playing gwent 😅

[@flacoschiavi2843]

wow , fast upload.

[@lauraneves6115]

Stream delay would help? Im askin xD

[@ElementEvilTeam]

i think you got stream sniped lol

[@joshuapatrick682]

Hmmm…chat needs to be banned from this competition, honestly not sure why its allowed

[@RastaWayne-di4sj]

Because the participants are streamers and them not interacting with chat for 2 hours would be pretty bad for viewership. The main goal of this is still to create entertainment and revenue for everyone involved. But ye it's pretty unbalanced

[@bobvanka]

@@RastaWayne-di4sj Last season was emote only, not sure why they didn't do it again. I don't see how one dickhead couldn't come in and provide info on the opponent.

[@erickr199]

@@RastaWayne-di4sj Also in season 1 when players did not had as much preparation, chat was a useful resource to ask where things were

[@anubisperry7234]

Are they in a huge well known run by a huge company tournament? No ok then stfu....it's all for fun and gives them something to do at least

[@vz7549]

None will take off my head that idea that someone told Catalystz when Bushy was going for the Radahn's great rune... he got insights from someone 100%

[@KarmaVtw0]

this makes no freaking sense. he killed radahn 20 minutes before bushy

[@KarmaVtw0]

@@Nidhogg he knew bushy wasnt near radahn, because he marked 3 duo/trio bosses

[@vz7549]

@@KarmaVtw0 exactly... but did not go to restore the rune, until Bushy went... so he was fine to leave the last square of a bingo open for more than 20 min, until Bushy took that route, then he suddenly decided to go for it, what a coincidence right?

[@KarmaVtw0]

@@vz7549 he did not go restore the rune because he knew bushy wasnt near radahn, as i said before. knowing that, he could do a putrid trio boss in time and still restore radahn great rune faster than bushy. its logical. you are crying too much

[@vz7549]

​@@KarmaVtw0 crying? WTF are u talking about? :D coz i have an opinion different than yours, then i am crying?! You are dumb as a stone, i am done wasting time here discussing with a stone.

[@KaokashinPlays]

That gameplay was sus as fuck. He was stream snipping for Radahn

[@outlawkaz6715]

Agreed, tho id imagine someone in his chat said something when they shouldn't have compared to him stream snipping.

[@lordcarl3094]

Catalystz did Radahn at 52:07 and then did wait with it for almost 21 minutes until 1:12:38. Sus indeed, especially because of how convenient the whole thing was. There is at least something to learn from this: if you know that your opponent has a huge lead on something, simply ignore that square(if you can). By ignoring it, you can spend your time on something that they can't prevent from happening. Level 60 could've been faster without going for the restoration, but Catalystz had a lead on Altus too, so ???.

Not cool nidhogg

deleted it

[@anubisperry7234]

Also how did he know how close the ruin block was? Someone told him or he looked

[@anubisperry7234]

Could finish 3 at once pretty much kill radhan no summons but kill him with the physick then activate his rune 3 down with one fight

[@anubisperry7234]

Dude played this so stupidly....its not a collect the most blocks its called bingo...get a bingo ffs no shit you lost you played for 13 blocks and not going for bingo

[@Tea-Spin]

+1 on this one, he had many bingo opportunities yet playing as if the 1st priority is to get the most blocks. Adding with the the whole sus Radhan shenanigans
