[@MoiDawg]

Added in some better visuals to show who was which side and what faction they were playing. Hope this helps! Enjoy Squad Ops vs. RaT Brigade and get ready for the semi-finals this Saturday, June 29th!

[@Zalupedik]

With badges of factions is definetely better!

[@AnxietyWoah]

Looks great man, awesome video!

[@elektrotehnik94]

Well done ❤

[@mostlygamingstuff1260]

I watched for like 45 minutes until I realized the tickets were always on screen in the top right. Good addition

[@tiji151]

You should put some delay and a fake game 3 at the end of the video so we don't get spoiled after game 1

[@apmoore94]

Just got off work, should go to sleep, MUST WATCH THIS INSTEAD. And i dont even play Squad, i just enjoy MoiDawgs eye in the sky vids.

[@jobe_seed6674]

Lmao same

[@Vasilis-zz9rv]

I was in the same situation like you before 2 years lol

[@Heatx79]

Same, I got the game, even installed it once…. Life is to busy to have that much fun, unfortunately.

[@Wolf-dn7uo]

same

[@adrian333dev]

Same 😅😅

[@zaidtayeh4888]

Rat armour vs Squad Allstar armour fights are going to be a blast

[@dartagnan1954]

That’s would be epic

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

It would be pretty much a satisfying and constant outsmarting

[@thagasman]

That Abrams crew was LOCKED in

[@rednax6955]

IKR they were holding off the armored horde

[@derpcade]

GUNNER, SABOT, TANK!

[@nablynxsquad]

nah I think they just got lucky with the ZBD players not having figured out the new TOW rework or even just getting unlucky now that the TOWs can go anywhere. However the ztz and zbd did throw a little

[@spasminos]

​@nablynxsquad you can see from the first one they were within TOW arming range anyways, it's why I drove towards them

[@imgamerbros977]

i hope this really picks up and people start to recognise it

[@roryr8]

Squad has had a comp scene for years, moidawg got laughed out of it which is why you haven't seen it here

[@Crazy-pl1lo]

Yeah moi has some beef with this comp guy (and tbh it was all egos just going at it typically squad stuff) and it was super funny watching both community’s going at it

[@MoiDawg]

I actually chose to stop casting many of the tournaments despite being asked due to the players involved. Top team leads were game banned due to their toxicity and the leader of the top team at the time was fired from OWI due to racist and antisemitic comments. I chose to divest myself from that and now am trying to create a much more professional experience.

[@imgamerbros977]

@@MoiDawg fair enough, I suppose you can see how easy it is for rumours to be spread judging by the comment from rory

[@randylep]

@@imgamerbros977 but its not rumours lol he literally banned a comp team from his server for outplaying him - there is a video of it

[@pfaura7016]

Elevation prevents the Chinese armor column to hit the Abrams. Full reverse and casually dodges atgm, driver gets close to the ZBL to dodge second atgm, gunner correctly engages most dangerous threat, ZTZ backs off, Chad Abrams pushes to kill a ZBD, dodges third atgm while fighting the tank, gets tracked and engined, kills the ZTZ, *Dies to an airstrike* 1 in a million tank fight

[@mauticom]

1:19:00 - if you wanna see it after this great description.

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

Absolutely American aggression, lovely!

[@Dcaveman-lu6ru]

That play was every tankers' wet dream

[@spasminos]

Thank you for the breakdown! This is really cool to see. Honestly I was just reacting instinctively towards what was going on, there wasn't much planning in my mind. After beaning the ZBD I should of backed fully up and went into that pocket with the IFV to kill it first, but maybe we would have lost to the ZTZ. I swear the comments have just been one ego boost 😂

[@MrGrooved]

@@spasminos That armor play was insane, how you managed to turn the fight around and keep the gunner locked on target. It's the kind of clip that makes me really appreciate 3-man tank crews.

[@BinLaden-gv4st]

Sleep? Nah squad.

[@mrhype1616]

Hey Moi. Just a suggestion but I personally would love to see or hear the pick and ban phase if it's possible. It's cool to see what teams don't want to fight against. But not a deal breaker by any means. I love this thanks for all you do

[@MoiDawg]

Will include it on the next matches!

[@mrhype1616]

@MoiDawg Thank you Sir! I look forward to ur next video!

[@RealBDS]

that’s a good idea

[@negatorxx]

brilliant strategy by RAT to create a wide front for quick observation of where OPS was going

[@gomersimpson777ram]

we did find a way how to play SQUAD with VR mod on official servers with people ​​if you are interested please reply anywhere to me2

[@focommjamieson]

1:16:45 RaT knows damn well that they didnt cap it, its a common strat to cap 99% so that the other team has to decap and then cap and even if they succeed they only get 20 tickets instead of 60

[@wofulbadger978]

Love this tournament @Moidawg, thank you for putting this on. It’s given me that shove I needed to get back into the fray with my boys!

[@guidantyt]

Moi, please consider using any of the already available tournament mods to allow you to click to jump to players. The scrolling interface is very akward and a lot of plays are missed while you look for the player's names. Killfeeds and picture in picture player POVs are also included and would be great for the audience to follow along with out of view plays.

[@matthewdavis3339]

this would be so cool

[@robertcole6237]

Another excellent video, I watch these all day at work and they are top quality, thank you

[@berry2370]

I loved every second of this. So glad I got to watch this live!

[@danielkonkol5332]

Man, this is super cool. I love the Eye in the Sky stuff and seeing groups like this play? It's just incredible.

[@TheSunofhell]

1:19:04 How many times did you watch this tank fight? Me: yes

[@GeloLego99]

Everyone who could’ve potentially missed on the Chinese team did exactly so lmao

[@Oscarmike247]

I tuned in live just before this happened and couldn't believe it. haha. epic!

[@-Kubica-]

OMG man... I really enjoy that series you put together... Freakin nice job there!!!!!!!!!!

[@danielstellato8137]

good on them for not giving up but good lord man they just sat there and took it.

[@christophershawbell2532]

Loving this tourney!

[@mimiru69]

Absolutely legendary tank moment at 1:19:14 Was so hilarious to watch that live

[@eqinoo3746]

So much Chaos going on there😂😂

[@GuangkaZ]

Probably the most epic tank battle in the history of Squad

[@spasminos]

Yes sir! Met the best gunner I've played with in this game so far right before the tournament and that's why. His game knowledge is off the charts.

[@Bearsbone12]

Gave SquadOps a chance to take the central points

[@mimiru69]

@@spasminos Yeah, your gunner was locked-in on knowing which targets to prioritize. RAT missing 3 ATGMs definitely helped the situation though, lol. 😆

[@MrHkballer1]

I hope this turns into a live final event. The commander gets a war room to play from, armor units get a fake armor tank, everyone else is separated into units. Dolby surround sound for the audience. MoiDawg on the mic commentating! That will likely never happen, but its fun to think about lol

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

I mean, I ended up picking Rat Brigade as my team the cheer for but gotta give it [Ops] Grim for being my fave bush pilot in the tourney (so far). Those evasive manoeuvres were some Han Solo moves. Two-finger salute to you, Grim!

[@opsgrim]

TY, I know RCN has a couple as well.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

@@opsgrim No worries! Your use of intervening elevation by diving and ranging was textbook smooth. As an old (Battlefield, BF2) chopper wh0re, I tend to appreciate utilitarian helo work more than most. Best of luck next time!

[@wardvandoorne4379]

that reverse by the abrams at 1:19:40 was absolutely insane, sick driving

[@cpt.mystic_stirling]

A co host would be ideal when so much is happening. Hope you find one Moi :D

[@just-incase3483]

That’s some solid commentary🤙🏻

[@JoelRyanMusic]

Fuck yeah man 20k views so fast. So good Moi

[@ForestBlue7]

Best one so far as a valued viewer

[@Screamblade_]

That mortar walkin around 1:40:00 or so was perfect... absolutely awesome

[@xXMc1ovinXx]

Hey @Moidawg , what if u got each team to have a PAO (public affairs officer) that u can randomly pull into a discord during a match and do like a 1 min interview on thoughts, goals etc or their side and what theyre thinking, kinda like inbetweem each quarter in football or hell even inbetween periods like the NHL, thoughts?

[@bakedbeanlover5775]

Cool watching the meta develop and it’s clear the 3rd motor rifle is king.

[@eliaslyly7952]

Mr @MoiDawg, a suggestion for the helmetcam! If you are able to turn off the ''wallhacks'' it would make the footage a lot more immersive! Thanks for the epic content I've been loving this series!

[@KevinBYee]

Anybody else get so into that opening game start that you tried to zoom on the map like you were playing? I had Moi's video fullscreened and I kept trying to zoom in on the map for more info. I was hanging on every word lol

[@FilthyMezla]

Nice kill Bosch, the QBZ recoil is so giddy

[@KingDrevv]

these are amazing

[@Zrathor]

@Moi Would love to have cap status on screen and a kill feed via caster/tournament mods. Something to look into for next season. Other tournaments have caster/tournament mods and it really adds a nice visual touch in keeping track of the game for viewers 👍🏽

[@Andy-qr9uk]

I dont know how I ended up here.. I don't even play Squad but I'm all for these series.. if only there was a way to watch more intimate fights close up.

[@tylerbrown4074]

Yeah that was a crazy battle

[@kizo]

It would be nice to have a higher FOV on the GoPro style cams. I also hope OWI can implement a faster way to switch to players, or at least order the player list in alphabetical order.

[@Goldyhawk]

That was insane armor play!

[@yungcaco1443]

Awesome 👏 matches 💪💯

[@HIIIBEAR]

Loved the games. Wish there was an easier way for the viewer to see capture progress.

[@Zrathor]

There is absolutely a way. Other tournaments have really nice mods for casters to have on screen cap status at all times. They even have kill feeds on screen so you can see exactly who is killing who. Would be nice to see some collaboration with those tournament mod creators next season.

[@dontbetrippin4575]

They definitively gave armour buffs and deflect change increase to the Abhrams

[@imdaros6500]

Yeh I bet they did inorder to bring it up to par with the new T90a armour

[@BLIZARICE]

nice cast sir👍

[@officialboomtish214]

1:19:14 Jesus Christ this ABRAMS PLAY WAS INTENSE! WHAT THE HELL?!?!

[@vikihott]

I have a pretty dumb suggestion, sometimes in esports, channels will upload an empty video of game 3, even if there isnt a game 3, so as to not spoil the victory of defeat on game 2. Ergo my suggestion is to upload Game 1 again as Game 3, so as to make the video longer, and essentially not spoiling the victor by the end of game 1.

[@wastelandnomad43298]

That Abrams crew though 1:20:00 man did they get themselves into and out of a worst case scenario until SU 25 checked them. LOL good job though Squad Ops that was entertaining for sure.

[@eliweatherford4154]

Didn’t recognize the team names but I recognized swooper and bread. Great dudes to play with and just great dudes in general.

[@kobray3455]

the fight in 1:19:00 was crazy hahahaha

[@shadow7988]

Love the helmet cam feature. Honestly feels like such a no-brainer after seeing it that I'm surprised no game does it.

[@Aj-om9nm]

Call of Duty Started doing it with MW 2022

[@SalilingAway]

Plz add a 1h spaceholder in case of a 2-0 so retake attempts like the one from squad ops remain more interesting

[@Dragunov38]

Mr. @MoiDawg, I may not always agree with your points of view about game. But you have my full gratitude for making this happen. Its very rewarding to see something unique happen to SQUAD. Thank you for enriching the community with this tournament! BTW the Rats used textbook soviet armor doctrine 15:40! Outstanding!

[@rich1958]

We need vehicle kill stats to show at end of games.

[@TheStacato]

Squad Ops got absolutely cleaned out that first match by Rat Brigade that was some of the best vehicle plays I've seen on EITS

[@chandlerclarke1670]

Where are these teams from?

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

That play from the Abrams at 1:19:00 was straigth up something you would see in Girls und Panzer ngl

[@Crypttszn]

How do i join one of the teams?

[@deadrixhanon1776]

Go to their community and play with them, and hope that you get picked.

[@Terravisor]

The commentary is too distracting. Can't hear the comms during the best moments.

[@joshuastanton6731]

You can tell the lack of coordination and communication is what ultimately caused Squad Ops to lose.

[@rich1958]

The first kill… what are the chances on this huge map you drive right into enemy in woods nowhere near a point???

[@guidantyt]

It is near a point, Radio Tower. Don't forget that Moi is the only one that can see all the points from the start, they only have a rough idea of the layer by that time, but radio station a classic mid cap.

[@Doubleohcasper]

[@mostlygamingstuff1260]

I can’t believe they wanted Sanxian in

[@OPDaymo]

I couldn't either but it ended up being the funner map of the two to play. the caps were way closer to each other.

[@mostlygamingstuff1260]

@@OPDaymo I hope to see some different maps for the next round. Like Kohat or Lashkar Valley…. Or a good urban map - but an urban map is super risky. Larger maps come down to team wide tactics for the most part with individual gunplay playing a secondary role; whereas in urban ops, the reverse is true. Maybe not all the time that formula is true, but like 90% of the time lol

[@z.2023]

This like war on 1960

[@Maltechr]

Can you not build in this tournament? Dont think I saw any build

[@wewillrockyou1986]

Need guns up not shovels out

[@Swooper.x96]

There are very rare instances where it is worth it to build anything in this game honestly. It’s fun for immersive larping but in a competitive setting, it’s usually pretty useless.

[@Maltechr]

@@Swooper.x96 Okay, thanks! :) I thought stuff like anti tank would be used in tactical spots..

[@ignaciosaezfierro7392]

28:40 is hurt

[@rednax6955]

That frogfoot strike was so satisfying

[@sdeluen]

Enigmadic's strike call on that Abrams got me simping. Who is this goddess of death with a voice of an angel?!

[@OtherlingQueen]

you should really get rid of all the useless pings/markers on the map when opening it because seeing red and blue markers where the opposite team is or any kind of arrows, etc only makes things so much more confusing than it has any right to be. as the caster and as the spectators we have no business seeing all the clutter from both teams

[@MrHkballer1]

I like this idea. I would like a toggle option so we can get a glimpse though. In the last video germany all stars had a FOB surrounded and seeing their pings was satisfying!

[@warfacebot7378]

I believe Squad should add a surrender option for the game to start a new round faster, suitable for a time-consumed esport like Squad

[@guidantyt]

With higher level play surrendering makes no sense, the game is not lost until the last ticket. Plus every single tournament before this one has operated with a ticket differential system with two rounds on the same layer and side swapping.

[@TheMartin9199]

Use the headcam perspective more please, not enough of it in this video too cool to throw in so briefly

[@TheRealNimble]

Otter VIC DIF

[@vestlam6226]

Is there a reason why the tournaments play AAS/RAAS? Personally would have loved to see invasion

[@Lucas-qk8lc]

ASS RASS is a symmetrical game mode and easier to balance. Personally, I like invasion too, but the scoring system would have to be different - perhaps 2 rounds and the winner who does best in attack. It’s a risky decision though because no one has done it this way.

[@roryr8]

Tournaments/scrims are never done with RAAS only AAS because you can't make RAAS fair.

[@guidantyt]

Invasion is a coin toss, either the attackers can take the first point or they can't. Makes no sense in comp.

[@TehIdiotOne]

Statistically, defenders on Invasion win 80-90% of the time. it'd just not be balanced nor fun to watch, especially in this format where the ticket diffs dont matter, only the win.

[@FrankieMankie]

First baby

[@zenogodofeverything3519]

sweats when they dont use rules and there all locked squads

[@Swooper.x96]

What are you on about? Como squad has more rules than pubs by far… your comment makes no sense

[@oldetymebiker2405]

Female squad leader was doing it for me. Best round yet.

[@xivanquishix3456]

SquadOps had some of the worst armor crews i have ever seen. I feel bad for their infantry because they had almost zero support in both fights. SquadOps armoe would have been completely routed in the second map if not for some luck, not skill

[@thehalberdier4774]

RaT's logo is an abomination. What the fuck is it holding?

[@DankTank374]

I wish this game was more noob frienly i hate how its so hard to spwn on objective or team and only assigned mech units ruins these games make squad more like hll and it will be more popular for sure every time i play im struck by how slow amd boring it is with the lack of spawning and getting into action quickly. The ttk in these games is also atrocious!

[@michaelcaldwell3265]

Yeah it's rough but that's the joy of it. Steep curve but once learned it's addicting.

[@faessle4067]

but how could you make it more noob friendly. Sorry but the premise of the game is that it is NOT for noobs. There are spawn waves every 1 min and games go 2 hours. If you wanna play HLL then play that. OWI made both different for obvious reasons.

[@shadow7988]

Welcome to an actual tactic shooter. For most fraud games like HLL that just means slow respawns and fast TTK while still just being cod/bf in a skin suit

[@Lucas-qk8lc]

Absolutely not. I enjoy the pace and the teamwork. Matter of fact, the pace is too fast for me and I would like it to be slowed down even more to reward proper tactics and teamwork instead of thoughtless pushes.

[@alexplichta8931]

@moidawg because you’re on rats team can they see you on the map and the direction your looking

[@Zrathor]

No they can’t
