I think what spaceman means instead of rhythm is transition speed. If a team can transition together very quickly whether it’s attack or defence then it does look rhythmic
Not every example of rhythm is a transition, even the example spaceman used was radosin just being in space and keeping the ball on offense. Rhythm is a perfect description. Keeping momentum, playing in space, timing the play with your team. Transitioning is just a small part of rhythm.
Considering every team was built specifically to beat vitality, it's literally no surprise they slowed down. I do not think they fell off at all. Teams shifted, the meta shifted, playstyles shifted, all around beating vitality and how they played. So of course they got beat, but they've already figured it out and now they're winning again.
Ivn to me seems to be more of a calculating player rather than an aggressor. However, with being such a calculated player it's kinda hard to stop him when he flips the switch

@@cybertrex5649 YIPS. It’s term in real sports when a pro athlete isn’t unable to play correctly. They over think and can’t do anything. Suddenly a world class baseball pitcher can’t pitch, a soccer play can’t shoot, a basketball player missed all his shots. It’s not just having a bad day it’s that you genuinely can’t remember your stance, your technique. It could last 20 minutes or weeks, some retire.
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but Vitality isn’t back, they played like they normally do, it just happens that they played Jobless who I don’t think will make another top 8, a Resolve who aren’t that good either and only got to top 4 bc BDS was playing horribly (and choked), and beat GM who let’s be fr played 100x worse then they did at the major and even prior regionals
I love Vitality but there's no way they leapfrog KC. If they do the same again next regional then sure, but KC have won 3 out of 4 regionals, did better overall at the major, are 21-2 in series in EU and are 3-0 against Vitality this season. Bump KC back to the top of the list and it's fairly bang on, although I also have SSG over Twisted Minds at #10.
@@zap9044 Well spaceman was being unreasonable with oxygen and SSG placement. Oxygen made top 4, same as SSG this past qualifier but he had Oxygen in his top 10 but not SSG. Both of which team had done similar feats ijn their repective regions. When rolldizz pointed out this to him he became extremely defensive and started taking things personally which was not a good colour on him.
@@indraneelphukan5906how does that make him unlikable. It makes it far more interesting to have different takes and outlooks on series and teams, and then him try to back it up with some decebtly sound points. I dont agree with eveerything ofc but yeah
@@simolachlan7674 The point for me was when he started becoming overtly defensive as an analyst when rolldizz pointed out the hypocracy in spaceman's arguments. I do believe difference in opinion make premises more interesting but the ability to accept one's own flaw rather than vehemently stick to it like a kindergaden kid is the problem.
13:30 - 18:30 Spaceman’s breakdown of why Vitality was the Top Dogs last year was on point!! 🔥🔥
As much as Bates has ridiculous takes... First touch really does not feel the same without him...
Bates is the best hype man in RLCS, you need him on every panel
Mad boring with out him
U dont need him when u have spaceman with insane take as replacement lmao. I swear he learned his rhetoric from bates
Was gonna say the same thing it's not FT without bates
Without bates id pay to not watch daz and dizz lol.
dazerin's reactions to stumpy's mic were priceless 😭😭
19:32 19:42
the mic does get better
Stumpy with the WORST MIC known to man lmao
How did he find a mic that bad?
@@Rovaneon the mic on my almost decade old i3 laptop is better than that 😭
Dazerins laugh will never not bring a smile to my face lmao it’s so contagious
I would’ve understood Stumpy better if he used sign language rather than that mic (I don’t know sign language)
Stumpy violating Retals and LG while wearing a pink headset with ears and a scuffed mic. Thats crazy...
First touch never fails to be one of the most scuffed podcasts
When someone has a bad microphone in the future. Please do not let them go on a four minute talk we don’t understand robot.
Agreed. Super annoying to listen to.
It did get pretty bad. This was probably the most I tuned out during one of their casts because I couldn't understand Stumpy

0:57 bro dodged the f bomb
Stumpy's mic gets fixed around minute 35:00
Spaceman’s energy replaced bates really well 😂 noice
1:01:50 Rise also appeared at every major last season
4:37 low quality British accent is incoherent 😭

LFGGGG Spaceman is one of my fav commentators. good to see him
To be fair like a week ago people were questioning how bds would do after mm getting in a car wreck
1:27:24 DAZ LOST HIS FUCKING MIND ROFLMFAO!!!!
Considering a lot of people had Rule One in their Top 10 and this iteration of TM looks better… it’s not a shout worth losing your mind over

Azfura owns all y'all
this episode was so goddamn funny lmao spaceman and stumpy are ironically a great duo
Tell me the mic gets fixed
it does hahaha he just doesnt talk for a few min
Falcons at 6 makes sense now lol
Lol they have the script
Does the mic gets better chat?
Ye
Stumpy sounded purrrfect to me
Rip stumpy's setup

Stanky using a 2004 nodes walkie phone???

Holy SpaceMan is DELUSIONAL. Stumpy is right around LG tho
Man will do anything for the bag, his delusions grind is real🔥🔥🔥🔥
Personally think a 1/3 rule would be sufficient
corelli when
Yooooooooooo
Im so lost on what the "y" word is
Yips. 90% sure
You mean yap?, what's yips

I kind of agree. Vitality losing to BDS in Swiss has me doubting them a bit.

Rlcs dumping spaceman was a fantastic move.
horrible move and horrible take he is often so well spoken and knows how to bring the fun hype we want
@@hoodedmexican he is coked up when he presents and it's obnoxious. And he's an asshole to Bates.
Spaceman has never been more unlikable. Jesus.
what. what did he say?

Shows way bettter with baits and spaceman should never be on this podcast again, literally has no idea what he’s talking about lol
