"NRG have a driven core that don't fold under pressure." A classic Platchat Green Square moment.

[@TheMrleeyang]

what is a green square?

[@cattolord33]

​@@TheMrleeyangcuz YT chat doesn't have Twitch emotes for obvious reasons the community decided that 🟩 represents the pepelaugh emote (i think, it was one of the pepe emotes at least)

[@Early__]

@@cattolord33 I thought youtube had custom emotes enabled for their channels at this point 0-0

[@BrahmaDBA]

Sideshow came at Lotus 0-5 and NRG lost the first map. Proceed to lost the second. This is all on you Josh.

[@wrath1185]

I’m the first 5 seconds this was my first thought. I can’t say I’m mad though becuase I had 100 bucks on bili bili and I won it

[@LukeSaward]

COPE NIGGA

[@jwlsiee]

oh my god he cursed them all the way to the rematch

[@jonahwalton7754]

25 seconds into the video and he has already cursed it

[@jwlsiee]

no wonder they started losing

[@musculusiv4172]

NRG was up 5:0 when Sideshow started his stream... It was all downhill from there

[@Joseph-ms3iq]

Watching Egg marvel at NRG while knowing they'll be absolutely shit on was an absolute blast.

[@Mis-fe9fc]

that judge was a perfect example of psychological warfare against NRG. The Twitter clips are already relentless

[@brendantarp]

Watching Sideshow cast or do costream commentary makes every game 1000% more entertaining. It’s like a smarter, balder, British DJ Khaled with the hilarious one-liners

[@carmacksanderson3937]

1:11:02 caster hive mind moment

[@snowpointe]

Boy do I love CHINESEVALORANT and WHIMSY.

[@snowpointe]

The egg i can do without though

[@ubeia4857]

They were watching the kids next door on APAC and learned the whimsy before they could even play the game.

[@chillzhongli1563]

When BLG did a comeback and won a map, I was wide awake for that. After that, I wasn't the same man anymore😅😅

[@betabunny_bs]

1:11:00 CASTER BRAIN HIVE MIND HAHAAHA

[@rymakesmusic]

0:14 subtle shade to fns lmfao

[@musculusiv4172]

Sideshow didn't even know Biank's name at the beginning of this game (and neither did Ardiis lol)

[@KennyKennTV]

37:18 ROUND WIN, the script is leaking

[@mrigankmohan6913]

Fantastic thumbnail Sideshow's really stepping up his KZbin game

[@collinwhittle3372]

Made a hundred bucks bailing on NRG after round 8 and going in on Bilibili. I realized it was just s0m carrying and NRG were actually looking pretty weak on the day.

[@collinwhittle3372]

Victor winning round 13 on Lotus had me clinching my cheeks for sure.

[@samay5902]

honestly, s0m and crashies are the only consistent fraggers

[@Xygard]

I wonder how Josh reaction in today rematch my god they fall

[@RohitRaj-ot7bo]

Same

[@cocothecocobo1860]

“Say my name” - Whyz

[@Ollie-uo9rj]

Outside of FNATIC and EG, this was the only opening round matchup i predded right 💀

[@moleycule3177]

WHZY JUDGE 早上好，北美华人《勇敢者》来了 !!!!!!!!!

18:10 for anyone wondering why Knight is called "K Night" instead of "knight".

[@wheremehat6591]

22:03 legendary

[@ottohietanen9326]

HOLY SHIT WHAT A STASH MR.egg

[@justus5879]

I,agine being a paid analyst and not having biank in the top 10 KEKW

[@jagason7494]

now i think china is a two team region blg almost defeated edg too lol

[@vincent296]

run that back

[@frankferdinand8748]

it's unfair that som was benched being the only one to do good the entire event. Ardiis and FNS played shit but they're allowed to stay? bull.

[@arturoflash]

NRG don't lose rematches Aware

[@hahazame]

HAHA

[@FlynnVLRBR]

sorry sideshow, this will never topple Kru eliminating Sentinels

[@smarley535]

CLASSIC SIDESHOW CURSE

[@jrgen7903]

you look very good sideshow

[@WARnTEA]

54:40 how is a pro team wasting satchels to cross with a viperwall placed to cover the cross. Sad. 1:14:30 bilibili show NRG how its done, they use the lurk wall to take it slow and gain ramps control, and take advantage of their doublesatchels to catch FNS offguard on site. Super odd for a team like NRG to double satchel and fast pop a site only to take ramp control and be stopped by their own viperwall. NRG didn’t slow play or lurk at all on attack. NRG looked like they were playing a SoloQ game on attack.

[@Dexito]

it's a default aggression towards ramps every team pretty much does it, not really a waste of satchel it's a combo with other util (in this case Skye flash and Astra stun) to get ramp control and maybe catch a person off guard but unfortunately nobody is there.

[@KnightCrown]

First time watching Split?

[@WARnTEA]

@@Dexito You can't catch anyone off guard with that shit. The ramp peek is not strong after the map changes. Its just a waste of util when you could just take the double peek and guarantee at least a trade.

[@beefstiticinc180]

@@WARnTEAman has never played/watched split

[@Dexito]

@@WARnTEA that was just a shit satchel by victor go watch a better raze play idk jingg or derke it will catch people off guard and what igl in the world gonna call a double peak ramp every round that just gonna leave a spot open either mid or one of the site bro what? r you gold or something

[@kj4731]

This is all your fault

[@kyie.wv.]

in this vids sideshow literally being clown LMFAO.. "china is 1 team region" and it didn't age well, BLG just qualified 💀💀 man i fucking love underdogs KEKW

[@thefartmachine358]

tf is the name bili bili gaming tho 💀💀💀

[@Harapan162]

it was created by billi billi which is like chinese youtube

[@sienasta]

1:11:01 best caster moment 😂😂

[@JYD2020]

The NRG crumble was incredible to watch

[@Icyyfosho]

lol

[@phinks5368]

Whzy doing his best Dasnerth impression on raze on split was the cherry on top 🤣🤣🤣

[@anasazhari4498]

@@phinks5368 more like Bunny lol

[@rainyglow]

"i would not have tried to knife him unless it was an unrated game" egg you know damn well how often you throw ranked games by trying to knife while giggling to yourself

[@potion19]

15:20 zamn BLG took it personally. 2-0'ed Nrg back to back ez Talking about cerebral valorant as his "best team" gets shut down, beautiful

[@regista4]

The power of the Egg Curse never ceases to amaze me.

[@jeffreydenenberg7101]

very appropriate for biank to have played fade that first map because i have been seeing him in my nighmares since this match

[@JamDav]

the thing that pissed me off is I fucking predded bilibili initially until I looked back and realised that NRG/Optic had 'broken' the curse, winning the first group game for the last 3 international tournaments...

[@ilikecamping822]

who's here after trace beat lev lol

[@SinaMorovati]

So it was your fault. You weren't watching, they were winning; you started watching, said it's over, they lost.

[@JudahMusicArchive]

This man joined when nrg was 5 up, and it all went downhill

[@Lurdusaur]

This season is gonna be lit 🔥 🔥🔥

CHINA NUMBER ONE🗣️☝️🚨

30:39 “we’d have to see them win more than just one game” 😶

"EG is a fraud" - can we have chatter's name so we can mock them a bit? /j

[@Harapan162]

they said is eg fraud

[@InKogKneeToe]

Sideshow nrg lost it

[@saity6022]

What an amazing thumbnail

[@obito7831]

When I was watching s0m and FNS talk about why they quit they were coping so hard... these matches just look like they got cocky and lazy and were extremely underprepared. They just severely underestimated their opponents and paid the price. They made a 40 minute video trying to defend their carelessness. And now NRG has fallen apart.

[@343JustMe]

Bro thinks just because he hasnt watched the team its an upset

[@HaydenDom]

is this bait or something this is obviously an upset

[@ubeia4857]

​@@HaydenDomLikely a bait don't mind it. If not just being dumb since it's clearly an upset based on BLG's performance against EDG and NRG history of performance before they were even NRG. The expectations is clearly on NRG winning so BLG winning is clear upset.

[@343JustMe]

@@HaydenDom I'm not talking about this match specifically. I'm telling you that he'd call anything an upset as long as the team is unknown

[@a.w_.]

@@343JustMeyes, that’s obviously an upset when a newer and less-known team wins over a team with players that have a lot of international experience as well as international wins.

[@343JustMe]

@@a.w_. no you just didn't bother to educate yourself, the better team losing is an upset
