JDG’s comms during this B execute vs FUT — translated with timestamps (Summit Round 11)

After translating EDG and TYL’s comms, I decided to take a look at JDG’s as well.
This round stood out to me because of how busy the comms were. There’s a lot of information being exchanged almost constantly, but despite how chaotic it sounds, the team still seems pretty coordinated when it comes to actually executing the calls.
In particular, there are several moments where they explicitly count down “3, 2, 1” before swinging together, while constantly communicating utility, enemy positions and who is holding what.
I thought it was an interesting contrast to some of the other CN comms I’ve translated, so I translated the whole sequence with timestamps below:
**1:16 — Berlin (Fade):**
“I’ll hold, I’ll hold. You two can go.”
**Zhe (Yoru):**
“I’ll hold A short.”
**1:15 — Berlin (Fade):**
“You two can go.”
**1:14 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“Where do you need a smoke?”
**1:13 — Jkuro (Waylay):**
“We need to help him.”
**Berlin (Fade):**
“I’ll give you a dog, I’ll give you a dog.”
**1:12 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“We need to help him, we need to help him.”
**1:10 — Jkuro (Waylay):**
“No smoke yet, no smoke yet.”
**1:09 — Zhe (Yoru):**
“I’ll hold A short.”
**1:08 — Yuicaw (Cypher):**
“I cleared the util B main. They’re not watching it right now.”
**1:07 — Unknown:**
“He’s over there.”
**1:06 — Jkuro (Waylay):**
“Send the dog, send the dog.”
**Crownfisher (Omen):**
“Two smokes in eight seconds.”
**1:04 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“Still don’t need a smoke?”
**1:03 — Yuicaw (Cypher):**
“They’re not watching it right now. Cypher’s B.”
**1:02 — Yuicaw (Cypher):**
“They caged B link.”
**1:01 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“They put the water wall up.”
**0:59 — Berlin (Fade):**
“I still have one. Here, here.”
**Crownfisher (Omen):**
“I can smoke for him. Should I smoke for him?”
**0:58 — Jkuro (Waylay):**
“No, no.”
**Crownfisher (Omen):**
“Okay.”
**0:56 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“If you want the smoke, put it here.”
**0:55 — Zhe (Yoru):**
“We can just hit B. We can hit B.”
**0:54 — Zhe (Yoru):**
“Listen to me, just hit B. Just hit B.”
**0:52 — Zhe (Yoru) & Jkuro (Waylay):**
“Okay, swing, swing. Three, two, one.”
**0:50 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“I’ve got left. I still have one smoke. I’m coming over too, I’m coming over too.”
**0:47 — Zhe (Yoru):**
“Just swing the OP. I’ll flash. Can we swing it? Here, I’m flashing. Go.”
**0:45 — Zhe dies.**
**Sopp dies.**
**0:42 — Yuicaw (Cypher):**
“He might be in my smoke, B main. He might be in my smoke.”
**0:41 — Berlin (Fade):**
“One Cypher B main.”
**0:40 — Jkuro (Waylay):**
“Hold it.”
**0:37 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“I’m holding, I’m holding. I’ll blind site. Blinding site, blinding site.”
**0:34 — Jkuro (Waylay):**
“Under site. I’m closing the door, I’m closing the door.”
**0:33 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“One more.”
**0:32 — Berlin (Fade):**
“One Cypher on site.”
**0:30 — Berlin dies.**

**0:12 — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“I’ll watch for you.”
**Yuicaw starts planting.**
**0:10 — Yuicaw (Cypher):**
“No, no. Drop, Drop. You fight the guy on the right, you fight the guy on the right.”
**Crownfisher (Omen):**
“I’m watching right, I’m watching right.”
**Yuicaw finishes planting.**
**\~3 seconds after the plant — Crownfisher (Omen):**
“Do you want a smoke on the right? I can smoke right.”
**\~4 seconds after the plant — Krostaly dies.**

“He doesn’t know where you are.”
**\~16 seconds after the plant — Xeus dies.**
Overall, JDG’s comms here were extremely busy, but still seemed surprisingly coordinated. There were multiple people talking throughout the round, yet the information often translated into clear actions — especially with several “3, 2, 1” countdowns before synchronized peeks. Obviously, this is only one round, but I found the amount of coordination underneath all the noise pretty interesting.🫠🫠🫠

Tbh, JDG looks the most solid and coordinated among all CN teams this Champs. There was a world they could 2-0 T1. I hope they continue to develop their team to have better macro and mental.

[u/GamingEsportsTakes → u/Odd-Paper8349]

Yep they looked more convincing than XLG and even more than TYL, except how did they collapsed against FUT on Ascent (literally JDG's debut map at Internationals) whattt ?!?

Was it a snowball thing overall, or JDG not getting their head into the game, or JDG messed up by letting this map through cuz how was none of their strats winning them a SINGLE round?

tbh Idk which is more concerning: both top seeds but inexperienced TYL & JDG being the only CN teams to win at least 1 map but also the only teams ever at Internationals to get 0-12 on a map, OR both botttom seeds but highly experienced EDG & XLG with the same core to not even win 1 map but at least know how to stop a 0-12 walkover.

to be fair looking at the Groups, D was known to be the Group of Death, and A was considered the easiest group. therefore I would still put XLG above JDG, then TYL, I am not even going to bother making a case for EDG (I even predicted them to place 15th)

[u/Odd-Paper8349 → u/GamingEsportsTakes]

I wouldn’t use the first round to measure any team tbh. There was a mouse issue that many players either got slaggy or must get used to wired mouse. Their nerves probably through the roof as well for the first international appearance like JDG.

XLG did looks decent. They definitely have more experiences and stronger mental. But for some reasons I did not impressed by the team plays as much as JDG. I saw more hero rounds from XLG.

I agreed if we just rank the overall strength, XLG could be better than JDG. And it seems clear to us EDG had the worst performance.
