DSG clearing Mitch in the rat corner at 24:35 was surprising out of context, and to OXG themselves in-game. But if you paid attention to the whole game, it wasn't a surprise at all. DSG was always aware of this corner. Round 2 @ 5:17 - KAYO knife sees nothing, but Clear still double checks with a Vandal wall bang. Could surprise anyone since it's a round 2 vandal. Round 4 @ 11:21 - Same KAYO knife, but this time it's Exalt who clears it since he entries with his pop flash. Round 6 @ 16:37 - Setup is different because of Viper Pit, but DSG does due diligence. KAYO knifes close, which also scans rat corner. To double check, they send a prowler to clear out around rat corner area. Round 9 @ 24:35 - OXG changed their defending setup right after a timeout and finally attempts to use the rat corner to surprise DSG. Round 10 @ 27:20 - KAYO knifes close, which also scans rat corner. Knife sees nothing. DSG double checks with Fade-eye and sees nothing. They don't bother to triple check anymore with guns since Exalt thinks "Yeah... OXG probably won't use the rat corner at that point anyway" and prioritizes rushing u-hall. Last Round @ 31:25 - Clear and Exalt clears the corner by wall banging. Last time they tried to enter the same Viper pit, DSG got flushed. So they use Fade-ult + prowler to force out skuba and secure the site. The reason why OXG and Mitch got caught by surprise is because of two things: 1.) DSG Clear and Exalt are the B-entry players. They immediately noticed this Viper wall since Round 2 and have been so aware ever since. 2.) None of the OXG players know that DSG always checks that corner. At Round 2 and 4 no one was on site to SEE HOW DSG clears and entries on B site. On Round 6, skuba was more focused on the chaos in the pit. Round 9 comes and no one could relay this info to Mitch and dies without using util as an initiator.
What I did notice a few times is tha they use Kayo knife to clear back B site and then they still commit using mollies to clear the angle, isn't that overkill?
Honestly dsg going against the guard first was great for storyline purposes. Imagine: Win by win dsg will get become stronger and stronger and at the end they will face their sworn enemy again at vct championship like an all out anime break-out revenge fight. What a genius.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO MR. GUIDES we all love your amazing breakdowns and well constructed videos, even if they are based around a goofy match like this one. Keep on grinding UA-cam ranked because there will always be people who want to see what you make!
@@AirenYT Can you make a video on SEN vs 100T Fracture? I want to see how good that map was because there are no analyses on it. If not, can you tell me here if the level of play was high? Much love and thank you in advance!
@@cfl4sh361 The problem or more is that Yoru is technically inconsistent, since all his abilities rely on fakeouts (besides ult and flash). And in the pro scene, you don't wanna get unlucky when someone shoots you instead of your clone
The lighening spaces on a map pointed out by you during the video is very cool, especially for less knowledgeble people because it shows exactly about which space u talk about. Really great addition to montage. Huge W
Yeah, unlike the other dude that just shows the mini map and continuesly commenting. Not knowing hus audiences doesnt keep up with em. I like this video a lot better
yeah, it feels like a person, but it feels like they only did it because it'd be good for the brand (which it is, no offense(plz no ban)) personally i liked the old style, but in the long term this will work better.
As someone who hasn't played Valorant since around the time they released Reyna, I love your videos. They're easy to follow along, and very entertaining as well.
DSG steel has always been a pretty underrated IGL, 100T did pretty well when he was there. The other players on DSG are still super cracked Exalt, clear, XXiF and Genghsta have all impressed in challengers. I'm super excited to see them play, they all deserve the win! #DSGWIN
@@LukeSaward He was fined for misconduct in CS when the incident happened. There were many many players involved at that point such as Faze Babybay and more. Everyone deserves a second chance, we cannot crucify someone for their whole life because they made one mistake. As long as he does his job well and does not repeat his mistakes from his CS days, there is no cause for concern.
21:39 I wish some attention was given to this awesome flash peek. Exalt peeks before the flash pops and his team peeks after. It's pretty much guaranteed trade, at worst. If Randy turns the flash, exalt will kill him and live. If he doesn't turn the flash, even if he wins the fight vs exalt, he's gonna be blind af when the flash pops. Ik I know it's not new, but it's still cool.
Love that a channel like this exists. I used to compete in amateur cod which includes snd. Used to do a lot of analysis like these for our own vod as a team. But it’s cool to see this on a public platform. A lot of people don’t understand snd to the point of being able to do proper analysis. Quite cool I really enjoy the vids. I imagine this opens a lot of people up to a different understanding of snd. You make it very easy to follow aswell which is especially import for a game as hectic as Val. Lol keep killin it
I love watching your videos, in pro-play rounds sometimes can happen too fast so it's nice to slow down and go over it all, each play at a time. GREAT VIDEO!
I love this channel so much. Your insight is easy to digest, entertaining, and really damn good too. The jokes you make feel perfectly spaced out to give a break to your commentary to those who need it. And the thing i love most about your videos is that it makes me remember why i find Valorant so fun, the outplays, the aim duels, and the teamwork needed to win. I've been practically retired from Valorant, only coming back to check out updates, but this vid got recommended to me and i said "Oh, yeah toast made an esports team.... wait, this is the pro match breakdowns guy i used to watch when i played Valorant!" Then i sat through the whole vid and was delighted by the quality. A great thing too is the helpful visuals and really good wording making it so that you can just listen to the vid and understand what's going on. Absolutely banger content dude, keep it up👍
That kay/o popflash blind headshot run and gun phantom into the firing lines of three people and getting away scott free like he's a loony toons character with his body running and his head stretching out like a rubber band clip was actually kinda goated (32:00) also love the commentators reaction "WHAT?!"
My experience with this channel has been *meet a really cool friend who's super shy but smart* >>> *your friend starts showing you weird memes and excitedly telling you about his celebrity crushes on esports players*
One small detail I'd like to point out is that whenever killjoy's utility is mentioned in this video, the corresponding sound effect plays and I think that's brilliant
does anyone know why clear didn’t shoot while he was holding halls at 25:11 ? it seemed like he lagged or something cuz i thought that was pretty strange
Im just gonna say it but skuba has to be one of the best players in challengers and even a player that can be considered to be strong in franchised, hes just so impactful for playing such a passive role.
I'm very confused about some of OXG's decision-making. For example, why is Fade holding from water when they already have 3 mid in the first pistol round? At a minimum, she should be keeping a slight eye on A from A-Link, just so that they can gather info. But if not that, sit B Link? She's serving no purpose sitting there and she's too far away to trade. What's the point? You see this a lot through this whole match from their entire team. Sacrificing info or pressure on specific parts of the map so that they can gamble and catch someone off guard? Doesn't at all seem very thought out.
I literally watch your vids every week. They are so well made! And I love them. I have watched all of the PRO games and THE EDITING my god this is so good I can't explain it with words. I edit too and knowing how much this has to take is just leaving me speechless and your commentary is top-tier! Have been a fan for a long time thank you for those videos!
DSG is full of underrated players tbh, they are all good but not as popular. Glad Toast was able to sign them, hope they can get more spotlight after this.
unfortunately oxygen was definitely having and off day im sad we didnt get more of a competitive series from these 2 teams that are both quite talented
I loved the video, and I just found out that Moist Moguls (Charlie/Ludwig's team) is going to be playing today. I was wondering if you could maybe cover their game in a future upload. I love how you dissect the games, and I would really like to see how you would rate the new team.
yo a minute in the video i can tell this is a banger. very well edited and really entertaining and informative!!! thank you so much!!!❤❤🎉 edit: as i watch on, wow. i love the analytics, i can tell it takes so long to do. kudos to you!! really appreciate it!!
today TS exceeded everyone's expectations as a D tier team against an S tier team liquid, even I am shocked myself but your analysis of their match will be a huge brain opener!
What a great fking video that explains the complexity of Valorant. I personally don't understand much whenever I watch their matches because all I care about is who's fragging and who's dying lol, but this video taught me a lot about how pro Valorant really works. I hope you make more of this in the future since Toast isn't uploading much about DSG(yet) in his UA-cam channel.
That's an absolutely insane analysis. i don't play valorant. i know some fps games which have strategy but not this one. it's too deep, almost like a strategy building game. players need to provoke, defend, information, etc.
yeah, he a toast fan. I appreciate how he recognized Toast Hearthstone, TFT rather than go Among Us legend directly. And true , the Shangchi meme is not known for normies haha

What is the name of the website you use when we see the parts of the video where it isn't gameplay?
I really like when you do t2 game play because it has more strats then we have already seen plus who doesnt like DSG
I just wanna say I love the try hard editing in this vid. You’ve improved a bunch in just a few months. Keep up the good shit
dude toast is cracked he managed to make a decent team in 2 months, made it to qualifiers and did good against tgrd in game 1

would be really funny if they take a yoru in their team
Would be hilarious 😐
When will people learn that Yoru isn’t a meme or a joke anymore
@@cfl4sh361 I AM YORU MAIN MY FRIEND
@@cfl4sh361 The problem or more is that Yoru is technically inconsistent, since all his abilities rely on fakeouts (besides ult and flash). And in the pro scene, you don't wanna get unlucky when someone shoots you instead of your clone
I think he means seeing fake clones or flash tping into 5 enemies
He's not an Among Us Streamer, he' s THE Among Us Streamer.
He is a streamer among us
This is really like listening to a bed time story. You make these really entertaining

Yeah, unlike the other dude that just shows the mini map and continuesly commenting. Not knowing hus audiences doesnt keep up with em. I like this video a lot better
24:48 "Mitch gets cleared by clear" little things like that make this video so much better over a complete serious analysis.
It makes the video _CLEAR_
He could also say "Clear clears mitch". You know... since that's his tag line now "clear clears"... LOL
I really like that your videos have more personality now , this will sustain u long and we will stay and support you.
i dont like talking abt personality like that but it is a little different style
the older style was rly cool to me
yeah, it feels like a person, but it feels like they only did it because it'd be good for the brand (which it is, no offense(plz no ban))

Amazing video as always, the production quality is astounding!
I love your guides. Have seen each one at least 2 times and some of them more. I’m so excited for this as DSG is one of my fav teams rn
Loved the video! DSG's game today against mad lions where they went 2-0 was insane as well
Been following toast’s career since his hearthstone days, so glad to see him find success on valorant too!
this was so good.. gotta love toast
what was so good?

Zero strats, just vibes
I think it would be good too to point out obvious mistakes
You know you're screwed when your position gets cleared by clear
These videos are so good man, hope Toast notices you!
I love how clear knows to disengage. Valuable skill, especially from a rookie
Honey I can't watch the kids, Sovereign guides just dropped.
I have no clue how entertaining content like this made from effort and time is completely free. Keep up the great guides.
25:09 I refuse to believe this guy didn't react on time. It's just not possible. Did his brain dc for a second or what?
I WAS WAITING for you to make a video about DSG ahahaha

Amazing Vid i joined at 7 mins and it was so close interesting up until the end!
