How one smoke sets up North's Inferno default - Duration: 5:54.
The Danish squad North has been making quite the name from themselves, especially on the
map Inferno.
One of the reasons for their new found success, specifically on this map, is a return to a
more structured T Side, which allows them to make adjustments to their set executes
round after round.
They are able to let the plan flow according to what they read from their opponents as
well as sell fakes based on what they have shown in the previous rounds.
At DreamHack Malmo we saw this very system play out four times, only failing against
the eventual champions G2.
The basic idea behind North's setup on Inferno is to send two players to take Banana control.
While that's going on, 2 other players establish a presence at mid under cover of flashes and
smokes.
Finally, the last player clears out apartments.
From here, the mid players smoke off Arch side and call for the execute.
The hit can either be a wrap through CT spawn to B, or a split on A with the Banana players
regrouping back at mid.
Let's take a look at a few examples of how North runs this default setup.
At the group stage of Malmo, North met up with Cloud9 on Inferno.
On round 9 both teams are on a full buy.
North runs their default, first establishing map control at Banana, then clearing Apartment
and setting up for the mid take.
In order to cross mid, North smokes off the left side of middle, and throws some flashes.
As the flashes pop, two players push up while the player who cleared the apartments pushes
out of boiler.
With mid control established, North then carefully positions each player to prepare for the execute.
Once the mid smoke dissipates, MSL throws a smoke between arch and library.
This smoke allows the three players in mid to safely clear Arch without fear of being
picked off from Library.
From here, the strat can turn into several different executes, but on this occasion North
goes for a split B through CT spawn.
North throws a flash and overwhelms Skadoodle near Arches.
With the trade kill secured, North have free passage through CT spawn.
Their teammates at B had previously taken full banana control but had gone silent a
few seconds before the arch hit came in.
This means the CTs have almost no information on where the hit is taking place.
North easily wins the round, but more importantly this sets a precedent for the arch-side smoke
that will weigh on the minds of C9 players for the rest of the half.
Five rounds later, on round 14, North use the same arch-side smoke, but change up their
positioning.
The two players that were previously in Banana are now in the A apartments.
The idea here is to overwhelm Skadoodle again and then split push the A bombsite, rather
than take CT Spawn control.
Because Cloud9 has seen this play before, North is banking on the CT players at B site
to delay their rotation, bracing for the attack they saw in round 9.
With mid control established, it's important that North try and take the fight with Skadoodle.
They could play it safe and just smoke him off, but leaving him alive would reveal the
fact that the attack is coming to A rather than B. Knowing they need to win this fight,
North opts for a triple peek on the Arch side.
Unfortunately North bunches too close together giving Ska an easy double kill, allowing him
to get away.
This fumble on North's part means the attack disintegrates.
But this doesn't stop North.
The next round North tries for the same setup.
This time they leave aizy at B a little longer so he can use his utility to pressure the
B players, slowing down any rotations towards A. This fake works as autimatic stays towards
B while North works A. MSL picks off Skadoodle who tries to get aggressive, opening up A
for a basic split.
Because of aizy's pressure at B and the strat seen in the previous round, Cloud9 is slow
to rotate, giving North an easy A take.
Unfortunately for North, Rush pulls off an absolutely amazing hold from Pit giving C9
the round.
While North ended up losing both rounds 14 and 15, it's safe to say that this wasn't
a result of the execute, but rather Ska and Rush hitting insane shots.
We can see instances of this execute working late in the half versus SK
In round 14 North takes map control like they did in the game vs. Cloud9.
Once North is up mid, they triple peek the CT who is playing by Arch.
You can see the adjustment North made in their spacing, making sure they don't give up
another multi-kill like before.
They show a new variation with two players pushing through the arch towards CT spawn
and clearing out library.
Meanwhile, aizy walks through the arch-side smoke facing towards pit helping clear the
A site.
This variation makes it even harder for the CT side to know which site the hit is coming
to as even with North pushing into CT spawn they still double back to A.
To finish the half North throw the same opening arch-side smoke, but this time to split B
through CT spawn.
Just as against C9, the two players at B take banana control and then fall silent before
the arch-side hit.
This time felps is playing the arch-side, and he rotates from arch to library just as
the smoke comes in, making it difficult for him to get any information or kills.
He is fortunate to spam one player through the smoke, but he doesn't catch the players
pushing through CT spawn to B. Because of the previous round, Felps remains in library
expecting North to push him.
Instead they simply go to B and swarm the site.
North takes the round and closes out the match 2-1.
North is quickly rocketing up the world rankings, taking out top teams at events like DreamHack
Malmo.
This is largely due to their outstanding T side on Inferno.Over the last 3 Months on LAN they
have a 71.4% win rate on Inferno thanks to this structured T side and the versatility
of MSL's strat.
By having a safe standardized default, with set options to fake out their opponents, North
is quickly establishing themselves as a team to ban Inferno against.

Using the Follow Up Process To Close More Sales - Duration: 5:16.
Do you struggle with follow-up? Oh my goodness so many people do in! Today's
video we're going to talk all about how to make that offer
now that you've reestablished that relationship. Reignited that flame and
followed up. This is part four in a series so you're going to want to hit that
subscribe button and listen to all the other videos if you're just catching me
here. Follow-up is full of fortune but you have to have finesse. This is all
about a scalpel not a shovel. Let's dive in. Today I want to talk about the
exciting part, making the offer! You've reestablish the relationship
you've thought all about them you've made that first connection they've
messaged you back you message them back again. Now you're in a conversation that
second message that we talked about in the last video you started to ask a
little bit about their business. Maybe their website maybe their new program
whatever it was you asked about it. You started that question. Now they've
responded back to you for a third time and you're in the third part of the
conversation. This is where it's totally okay to cut to the quick. To get that
offer out on the table here's how you do it to open up for all kinds of
opportunities. So in the same example following through with Bill and his
snowshoeing that I met at a conference at some point I spoke to him I reevaluated
our relationship I decided that I was going to keep going this is what I'm
sending now to make the offer. So I said Bill that sounds awesome I'm so excited
about this winter and wow your website you really worked hard on it I can tell
and I'm so excited for your next step. How are you getting support for your
sales? That would be a question that I would ask and so that would be one way
to talk about it. That's one question. Now he may come back with another question
or he may not. What I can do then now is say I have this brand new program
I would love to invite you to hear more about it do you want the link right? So
the link could be a link to my sales page or a link to that page on my
website or I can decide do you want to jump on a quick call? Can you hop on a
quick call next Tuesday at 10:30? These are all possible questions that I get
asked him at this point because now we've reestablished a relationship
I've taken the temperature of the situation. He's in business he's growing
he's making things happen and he is definitely a prime candidate for someone
that I may want to support with their sales. So I can ask him that question and
he can of course decide well I'm actually working with Jane Smith now oh
that's fantastic she's really well-known I really like
her she helped me with this. Do you know of anyone who would be interested in a
group program or in this event that I have coming out or I can decide at that
point what to offer next. But the key part there is do you know anyone who....
that's the key part. These are little phrases that I want you to put in
your pocket and I want you to use whenever you ask a question about a new
service or event or program that you want to introduce or reintroduce to
someone that you've met or that you've worked with again. So do you know anyone
who? This allows them to think well maybe not me but maybe my friend Jill or maybe
my friend Suzanne and then I can ask yeah but I would love a little
connection if you could jump on a three-way call or if you could message
me or if you could email me and add her to the copy that would be great and then
I'll take it from there and you know what because I love you so much if she
becomes a client of mine I'll send you a check for $100 or whatever. Whatever your
sweet little thank you might be. You definitely want to bake that in to your
conversation. So this is follow up there's so much fortune here right here
Bill might become a new client or Bill might refer me to someone else or I
might decide with Bill that on that call that we eventually
we decide to collaborate on a whole new venture. What I'm saying is by following
up with someone that you already met you already have that know like and trust
factor don't hide those business cards don't
let their emails collect dust continue the relationship. It doesn't matter if it
was last week last month last year or five years ago the flame can still be
reignited and you can take the temperature on their business in three
or less easy emails right to an offer. So whether it's an email or a message I
want you to get those connections. Now if you're having trouble with your sales
conversations and getting people to that point you're going to want to grab that
free sales training while it's still free and you're going to want to keep going
back to this channel because I have new stuff on here every week just for
YouTube. I can't wait to see you in the next series.

Ellen Hutson & Altenew Mix-it-Up Challenge October 2017! - Duration: 6:11.
hi it's Therese from Lostinpaper and I'm really excited because today I'm at the
Ellen Hutson classroom at their blog and sharing this card that I'm making for
the mix it up challenge so that means I get to share some products from both the
essentials by Ellen product line and combine it with the Altenew stamps and
I'm using their inks as well today so a lot of fun I decided to stamp out my own
background and I have a piece of cardstock and using some Altenew inks
this is the mountain mist color is the lighter one and I'm rotating this
beautiful leaf image now this is a real kind of retro style leaf and it's from a
set called rustic botanicals that was created by Julie Ebersole and I love it
it's a beautiful set so once I've finished stamping out the first color
the second one that I'm going to be using is the volcano Lake which is a
really pretty color too so this was really easy to kind of line up and each
line of leaf I've flipped the leaf around but focused all the lighter ink
on one side of the card and the darker and the other sort of creating that
ombre effect it was a very easy panel to stamp out took no time at all a bit took
me longer to edit it than to acutally stamp it alright so I'm going to create my
flowers now to go on the panel this is gonna be the focal point of my card and
I'm using the set that was created for the essentials by Ellen range with Altenew
this is a collaboration set and it's amazingly beautiful and it's called
poppy fields and I've used, I want three different colors of poppies
so for the yellow one and I use the citrus burst and the
shadow color was called Sunkissed then the second the orange poppy I did with
Sunkissed and then with my favorite colors ever which is called orange cream I used
a Copic marker to color in the center of my flower and then stamped out the
center's that come in the set with the industrial diamond so these leaves are
from the rustic botanical set and I created sort of two tones on them by
using the the cubes of Altenew ink you could do this with the bigger ink pads
it just would be a little bit more difficult but I stamped the lighter
color which is the parrot onto this onto the leaf image and then stamp the edges
with the Moss ink and now I'm going to stamp three of those because we all know
that odd numbers look good too I've got the coordinating dies for both
of the stamp sets actually the poppy fields stamp set comes with coordinating
dies I think and if not you should get them they're amazing and I'm just going
to run these all through my die-cutting machine the last color that I'm going to
use for this from my poppy is coral berry and then I use the ruby red as the
shadow color this just blew me away it was so beautiful there is an outline
stamp in this set as well I should say I just chose not to use it today and
that's one of the best things about these layering stamp sets you can use
either part of them all of them some of them only the outline everything it
doesn't matter so easy and so versatile the sentiment comes from the poppy fields
stamp set as well and I didn't stamp it in black I did stamp it in the
industrial diamond so now it's time to put my card together I've got a top fold
card and I've added some fun foam to my background I have cut it down to fit the
card front just leaving a white border
around the whole edge popping up all my flowers no I'm not I'm popping up some
of my flowers and adding some tape runner to the leaves and the orange
flower I decided to actually use tape runner and adhere it directly to the
panel as well it's just good to have different sort of heights of your
embellies it just adds a bit of interest to your card so if you're here in
October 2017 I'd love to see what you can do combining the essentials by Ellen
Hutson stamp and die range along with Altenew, what a good combination it's
so much fun I know I had a blast making this card so all I have to do now is
just pop my little bouquet together and I'm finished thanks so much for joining
me today I've had such a fun time head over to the Ellen Hutson mix it up
challenge I'll put the link in a new youtube description below and look
forward to seeing you there till next time happy papercrafting bye

I know that. But you are wrong about Alexander's virtue.
He has come to free Sidon from a tyrant.
Yet he does not wish this gift to be a sale:
he shattered our yoke and refuses the throne.
Who then will be our king?
It is thought that, unknown even to himself,
the legitimate heir lives in obscurity.
- Where? - Oh, let Alexander seek him.
Listen.
My merciful mother
at last favours my love. Oh, my dear mother!
You sigh, Aminta! What does that sigh mean?
I rage against destiny,
which made me so unworthy of you, Elisa.
Neither riches nor lineage, I seek Aminta in Aminta alone.
And I love in him even his poverty.
Since the very first day I saw him
when I was still a child
I found that shepherd lovable and gentle,
the flock and the sheepfold. They have remained in my heart,
the sheepfold, the flock and the shepherd.
Oh, my only,
oh, my true happiness!
- Those dear words... - Farewell.
I speed to my mother and shall return to you soon.
I shall never more have to leave you.
The sun will always see us together,
whether it departs or returns.
Oh, sweet life!
Oh, happy days!
To the forest, to the meadow, to the spring
I shall go with the beloved flock.
And to the forest, to the spring, to the meadow
my idol will come with me.
In that cramped, rough hut,
which will give us shelter,
with joy and delight
innocence will dwell.
To the forest, to the meadow, to the spring
I shall go with the beloved flock.
And to the forest, to the spring, to the meadow
my idol will come with me.
There is the shepherd.
My friend, listen!
- What do you ask? - Only to speak with you.
Pardon, sir, whoever you may be, but the time for feeding the sheep
- is almost over. - You shall go.
But grant me one brief moment. (What fine features!)
(What can he possibly want of me?)
What is your name?
Aminta.
Your father?
- Alceus. - Is he alive?
No, five years have passed since I lost him.
What did your father leave you?
A small garden, where I grow food,
a few lambs, a hut and a contented heart
You live a poor life.
My stars seem to me most benign.
I long for no fortune better than mine.
But with such meagre rewards...
Much more meagre are my wants.
You have to work hard for your food.
But that is what makes it sweet.
Your life offers you neither greatness
- nor honour. - But I have no enemies to fear,
nor have I any regrets.
It offers you a sheepfold and uncomfortable, hard repose.
- But my repose is safe and peaceful. - (You still have doubts?)
(His words both surprise and charm me.)
If you desire nothing more, farewell.
Listen: if you wish
I will guide your steps to Alexander...
- No. - Why not?
Aminta's duty is one thing, Alexander's is another.
The whole earth is too confined for him:
a cottage is large enough for me.
I am a leader of lambs,
he of warriors.
I till a small field: he founds empires.
But heaven can change your whole standard of life in a moment.
Yes, but so far heaven has wanted me as a shepherd.
Tranquil air and serene days,
cool springs and green meadows
are the fortunate wishes
of flock
and shepherd.
And if it should please the Fates
so to change my duties
then the gods will take care
to change my mind and heart.
Tranquil air and serene days,
cool springs and green meadows
are the fortunate wishes
of flock and shepherd.
Now what do you say, Alexander?
Oh, certainly that young shepherd
is really the unknown heir to the throne of Sidon!
Your evidence was already strong
but his speech, that face are greater proof.
What a noble heart! What gentle, what serene virtue!
Follow me, Elisa. Let us go to accomplish our great work.
Of all my propitious days this shall be the finest.
Razing city walls, routing armies,
shaking empires in the vortex of war
are the pleasures that heroes enjoy on earth.
But relieving the oppressed,
making countries happy, crowning virtue,
stripping from it the harmful veil which masks it
are the pleasures that the gods relish in heaven.
Sometimes a storm cloud stretches over the face of the sun
and lightens, threatening,
upon the arid ground.
But when in that form enough moisture has collected
it all falls as rain
and fertilizes the earth's womb.
Sometimes a storm cloud
stretches over the face of the sun
and lightens, threatening,
upon the arid ground.
Agenore! Stay! Hear me...
Forgive me, pretty shepherdess,
I must follow Alexander...
(Oh, heaven! 'Tis Tamiri!)
Princess!
Oh, my beloved!
- Is it you? - It is.
You here?
In this attire?
I owe to this the only boon left to me,
which is my freedom,
since Alexander has robbed me of father and throne.
Oh, how I wept for you and sought you!
But where have you lain hidden till now?
The fair Elisa sheltered me as a fugitive.
Princess, will you take a wiser counsel?
Come with me to Alexander.
To my father's murderer?
Strato killed himself; he prevented the Victor's clemency.
Must I offer my hand and be ensnared?
Must I tolerate the insults of the Greek women?
You are mistaken. You do not know Alexander
and I cannot explain your error now.
Farewell. I shall come to you soon.
Look, Elisa's apartments are there...
I already know.
- Hear me. - What is your desire?
Am I in your heart?
Oh, do you not see?
O princess, ask it of your lovely eyes!
Answer for me, fair stars of love.
If you do not know, who does,
who does?
You have learnt
all the ways of my heart
since you robbed me
of my freedom.
Answer for me,
fair stars of love.
If you do not know, who does,
who does?
No, O gods,
you are not so cruel to me as I till now believed.
It is true: you changed my throne into a hut,
my royal purple into coarse fleeces.
But I found my idol again still faithful.
O gods, in your pity,
you have left me enough!
My heart has already forgotten
all the many storms.
It has found peace again
on the face of my love.
Amid the anger of the stars,
though my head trembled with horror,
now it is throbbing for joy
in my breast.
My heart has already forgotten
all the many storms.
It has found peace again
on the face of my love.
Whither are you hastening, Elisa?
To my father.
- So he consents? - My heart did not deceive me:
you will be my husband before the sun sets.
Come!
Oh, my love, let me breathe!
Take pity on a heart moved by supreme joy...
Pray let us not delay. We shall breathe together.
Noble king, from your most loyal servant, receive the first tribute.
- What does he mean? - To whom are you speaking?
To you, sire.
Leave me in peace and find another to mock.
I was born free, if no king,
and though I deserve no homage
I at least have a heart that will not suffer affront.
That ready anger reveals you and defends me.
Hear me
and let my zeal unveil you to yourself.
What? Is he not Aminta?
No!
Then who am I?
You are Abdolonymus, sole heir to the throne of Sidon.
- I? - Yes.
Driven from the throne by evil Strato
your father entrusted you as a child to mine.
He, on his deathbed, gave you into my care
with the secret and the proof.
Oh, joy! Oh, happiness!
- My beloved is my king. - So Alexander...
...awaits you and wishes to crown you himself.
That is the royal regalia, which he delivers to you.
Oh, come immediately! Ah, how I have longed for this day!
Elisa?
Aminta?
- Is this a dream? - Oh, no!
- So you believe it... - Yes.
To me this is not a strange chance, though it is unexpected.
I always saw the head of a king in your face.
Maybe so! We must go now to your father.
No, the gods now expect
a greater duty from you. Go,
reign, and afterwards...
What? You press me to leave you?
Oh, heaven, does it not matter to you if your father,
to whom you owe your happiness, as I do mine,
now shares our new, unforeseen joy'?
Forgive me, Elisa,
I cannot obey you.
Your love, our bliss,
respect, duty all forbid it.
Ah, before others inform him,
let him hear such happy tidings from me.
Then I shall go to Alexander and the throne.
And soon your faithful shepherd
will return to you as king and your bridegroom.
Let me go...
Oh, if you knew, my idol,
how much my loving heart suffers
far from you a single moment!
Oh, if you could see
how my heart is!
It exults with joy.
And yet...
No, no, hush, troublesome fears.
Now my only thought must be that Aminta is king.
Go then.
Alexander might be angry.
Friendly gods, I am grateful for your gift
but a throne is too dear at this price.
Go and reign, my beloved,
but keep your heart true
to the one who adores you, if you can.
If I must reign,
on the throne I shall still be
your faithful shepherd.
- Oh, but you are my king. - Oh, what cruel fear!
Oh, protect, O gods,
this innocent love.
This is the largest tent in the Greek camp.
Here I shall surely find my beloved.
Whither are you hastening,
Pretty maid?
I am going to the king.
- Pardon, but you cannot see him. - Why not?
- He is in council with his Greeks. - With his Greeks?
- Yes. - Then I can go.
- That is not my king. - Stay.
You cannot go to your king, either.
- Why not? - He must be in attendance now on Alexander.
Let him do so. I only want to see him.
No, you are not permitted to enter so far.
So tell him that he may come to me.
This he is not allowed to do.
At least I shall be permitted to wait for him.
Dear Elisa, go, believe me. For the moment pray do not disturb us.
Instead I shall soon come to you with your king.
No, I do not trust you.
You are not thinking of Tamiri, but you will remember me?
You are mistaken.
It is about her that I wish to speak with Alexander.
I already tried but we were interrupted.
Ah, go!
Should he come, I shall be robbed of this opportunity.
I shall do as you wish. But listen. If you delay, I shall return.
- That is fair. - Farewell.
Meanwhile do not hide my longings from Aminta.
- No. - Tell him that I can imagine his.
- Yes. - Far from me, oh, how the unhappy man will suffer!
- Very much. - And does he speak of me?
- Always. - And what does he say?
But you simply will not go.
If I have to repeat all his laments...
I am going. Do not grow angry.
But you are so cruel!
Harsh man, oh, god!
You see me separated from my love.
Harsh man!
And you do not allow me to ask about him at least.
Why not give way to pity
at such deep affection?
You too have a heart in your breast,
you too have a soul within you.
I saw the fair Elisa just now from afar.
- Why is she hiding? Where is she? - She has gone.
Without seeing me? Cruel girl! Oh, I must overtake her.
Stay, my lord.
- Why? - You may not.
I may not?
- Who gives orders to a king? - His greatness,
justice, dignity, altruism,
reason, duty.
So as a shepherd I was less a slave.
What good then will the throne be to me?
If the throne brings you nothing good
you have to do good from the throne.
But tell me, my friend:
am I not to love the one who loves me?
Is Elisa so unworthy of love?
Who of all men, of all gods
on earth and in heaven,
could condemn my tender love?
My fame will not allow me to rest for long.
Today I shall give Sidon her king.
I wish to leave at dawn.
But I admit I go not wholly content.
I lifted from you the yoke of oppression, 'tis true.
I returned the sceptre to the royal line.
In wise Aminta I leave to the realm a good king
and to the king in Agenore a good friend.
Maybe my name would be of honoured memory for a long time among you.
Tamiri,
oh, heaven, Tamiri alone darkens it.
Wherever she wanders, a fugitive, what will people say of me'?
That I am an evil, cruel barbarian.
She is deserving of pardon if, being a tyrant's daughter, she feared...
In this she failed.
What was there for her to fear?
Alexander may punish everyone's transgressions
yet he honours everyone's virtues also.
Asia has never known Alexander otherwise.
What glory am I worthy of!
To leave everyone happy is my desire.
For her alone now remains this sad trace of my valour.
(Take heart.)
I could have shown men,
had Tamiri not fled,
that I can distinguish the innocent from the guilty.
Do not grieve. You can still do so.
- How? - She is here.
Who?
- Tamiri. - And you did not tell me?
I knew shortly before I came to you, and now I wanted...
Quickly, hurry, bring her to me.
I shall go and return at once.
Wait.
(Ah, yes, love never tied a more beautiful knot.)
Now can I depart wholly content.
Fly to Tamiri and tell her
that today I shall give to the new sovereign the crown,
she her hand in marriage.
- Her hand in marriage? - Yes, my friend.
Ah, with a single diadem I crown
the virtue of two noble hearts.
He will ascend the throne and she will not have to renounce it.
Thus to you I restore peace, to my name, glory.
- All this I guarantee. - (Oh, god!)
You turn pale
and are silent!
Do you disapprove of my idea?
For Tamiri is...
...most worthy of the throne. - And my plan...
...most worthy of you.
Of what emotion is your silence,
YOU!' pallor a sign?
Of pleasure, respect and amazement.
If by winning I make you happy,
if in departing I leave no enemies,
what a wonderful day this will be for me!
For the sweat I shed in battle
I ask no more handsome reward.
Alas! The sun is sinking.
Already the time is over
which Agenore granted me to settle my painful doubts.
I, at the risk of appearing base or of revealing myself <i>as</i> faithless,
tremble, waver, worry
and cannot decide.
Is this what it means to rule?
Is this the rich life, in purple and gold?
Oh, unhappy me!
Agenore is coming. What shall I say to him? Oh, god!
Do I still find you irresolute, sire?
- No. - You have decided?
- Yes. - How?
I am ready to do my duty.
Then you no longer refuse to go to Alexander?
I am going to him now.
You see that Elisa and the throne
- cannot be reconciled. - That is true.
Nor must he who receives a kingdom oppose the plan
- of a generous hero. - Oh, fortunate Aminta!
Oh, what a companion the stars have destined for you!
Love her. She deserves the affections of a king.
I comprehend, my friend, all my happiness.
Do not tell me to love my bride.
I already love her so dearly that without her I should hate to rule.
I shall love her, I shall be constant,
a faithful husband and faithful lover,
I shall long for her alone.
In so dear and sweet a creature
I shall find my joy,
my delight
and my peace.
But listen, Agenore. What tales they are inventing here to torment me!
The rumour is that today Aminta will give his hand in marriage to Tamiri.
Do not be mistaken. No one is deceiving you.
Then you too believe it?
I cannot see what doubt there can be.
How can Aminta abandon me thus?
Where did you learn such pleasant news?
- From him. - From him'?
- Yes, from Aminta himself. - Where? - Here.
- When? - Just now. - And what did he say?
That he who receives a kingdom
must not oppose the will of Alexander.
God in heaven! What?
He is offering Tamiri his hand?
His hand and his heart.
How can Aminta betray me so?
Ah, Elisa, change your mind.
- Yield to destiny. - No, it can never be true!
But if he is no longer yours
what can you do with these tantrums?
What can I do?
From Alexander, all men, the gods,
I shall plead for pity, mercy, justice.
I want Aminta to confess to everyone
that he gave me his heart.
And if the cruel one expects to give it to another
I wish to die of grief and I want him to witness it.
Poor maid! I feel sorry for you
and I understand your distress in my own.
I must fly from Tamiri
and I do not hope to find another remedy for my weakness.
Agenore, tarry!
(O gods! Help me!)
I want you to attend my wedding.
Oh, no, I beg your pardon: this is the last farewell.
I want obedience from a loyal subject.
- (O gods!) - Did you hear me?
I will obey, cruel heart.
If you make a gift of me, if you want me to belong to another,
why is it my fault, why am I cruel?
Imitate my sweetness.
I am the deserted one
and I do not insult you boldly,
calling you unfaithful.
Wretched heart!
You thought you had suffered
all the tyrannies of love.
Oh, it is not true:
the most deadly one of all
still remains to be borne.
The only one able to say how a lover feels in this plight
is some unfortunate swain who endures it like me.
A torment is what I suffer,
crueller than any known torment.
It is a desperate torment, which is unbearable.
The only one able to say
how a lover feels in this plight
is some unfortunate swain who endures it like me.
You who favourably ever
grant new seeds to my laurels,
support, O friendly gods, the emotions of my heart also.
Ho there!
How much more delay?
The sun is setting.
Why is the king not present?
Where is Tamiri?
At Alexander's feet.
Are you the princess?
I am.
Sire, have no doubt. It is she.
Hear me. Agenore, my lover,
places my aggrandizement before his love.
If I should prefer my aggrandizement
to so faithful a heart
consider, Alexander,
- and then decide. - Oh, gods!
What virtue! What true love!
Ah, justice, my lord!
- Pity, mercy! - Who are you? What do you want?
I am Elisa. I beg Alexander's aid
on behalf of a heart that is unjustly oppressed.
- Against whom? - Against Alexander himself.
What did Alexander do to you?
He has robbed me of my peace of mind, of all my happiness.
He wants to see me die of grief.
I live for Aminta.
- He has stolen Aminta from me! - Aminta!
And what claim do you have on him?
What claim? As a child I was given his heart.
He who gave you his heart, gentle maiden,
was Aminta, the shepherd.
Abdolonymus, the king,
- never gave you his heart - My lord, I am Aminta
- and I am a shepherd. - What?
Here are the royal garments at your feet.
With my woollen clothes about me I am returning to my flock and my peace.
And Tamiri is not...
Tamiri is worthy of the heart of a king
but Elisa does not deserve
to be betrayed by me.
Let the man who is gifted to rule have the throne.
As long as Elisa remains mine I am content.
What do I hear?
Where am I?
Agenore, I told you: Aminta is mine.
Alexander shall not separate such noble lovers.
Here, Aminta,
is fair Elisa.
Here, Tamiri, your faithful Alexan...
No,
your faithful Agenore.
You shall now be rulers of Sidon.
And you shall not remain subjects.
To build you a throne I pledge my fortune
and such virtue
deserves to rule.
Oh, great and just king!
Ah! Let Sidon at last see her king crowned!
But in these clothes...
In these clothes heaven has not guided you here by chance.
Perhaps in this way
heaven foretells all the happiness of your reign:
good fortune for the country
with
a shepherd king!
Hail! Long live the unvanquished leader! Long live the gift of heaven
dearest to our heads.
With favourable auspices on these days the stars
shine in heaven more brightly and love smiles more gladly.
Long live the gift of heaven dearest to our heads!
As I shall always adore you,
my dearest, my heart will know
what happy love is.
If your heart adores me,
beloved, there is
no sweeter warmth than love.
- This is contentment for me! - I feel joy in my heart.
No, for a heart cannot resist love.
With your fair eyes, my treasure...
Dear words of my beloved...
When I gaze upon you
I must softly sigh.
Joyful hearts, dear hearts,
Yes, enjoy your loving.
No, a heart cannot resist love.
Hail! Long live the unvanquished leader!
Dearest to our heads.
-------------------------------------------
Lancer Evolution - Everything You Need to Know | Up To Speed - Duration: 9:02.
We heard what you wanted
and we made you an Evo video.
Picture this.
It's 1993. We're in Japan.
You pull up to a stoplight in your brand new Ferrari.
You're probably listening to Woomp There It Is.
And what pulls up next to you on the line but a four-door sedan with fog lights and
a big ass spoiler.
The little sedan next to you, apparently not understanding that you're in a Ferrari, revs it's engine.
So cute.
You laugh,.
The light turns green.
And suddenly…
What just happened?
You my friend just met yourself a Lancer Evolution
and your life will never be the same again.
This is everything you need to know to get up to speed on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
The Mitsubishi Lancer was introduced in 1973. It was a good little car.
Small, fuel efficient, kinda boring.
In the 70s and 80s, Mitsubishi decided that they wanted to improve their global image
with motorsport, and their sport of choice was Rally.
They gave the little Lancer a bigger motor and took it racing.
It did well.
This was the dawn of Mitsubishi becoming one of the most iconic names in Rally.
By the late 80s Mitsubishi was developing a Group B program with an AWD version of their Starion.
Yeah, that Group B.
The Starion prototype performed well but before the car was fully developed,
Group B was outlawed following a number of fatal crashes in 1985 and 86.
So Mitsubishi was left with an almost fully developed racecar, but nowhere to race it.
So if you're Mitsubishi, what do you do?
Well, you make lemonade!
You take the drivetrain from the Starion, you toss it under a Galant and you enter it
in Group A.
The Galant performed well from 1988 until 1992, but European rally stages suddenly got
too tight for big fat sedans and a number of manufacturers switched to
smaller, more agile platforms.
Ford replaced the Sierra with the Escort, Subaru the Legacy with the Impreza, Toyota
the Celica with the Corolla, and Mitsubishi the Galant with the LANCER BABY!
Guess who's back in town dad, and I have an earing now!
In true Mitsubishi fashion, they took the guts of the Galant, and put it in the smaller,
lighter Lancer.
But they couldn't just call it a "Lancer".
The Lancer is boring economy car.
You're driving a project car baby!
Mitsubishi's project car.
This thing had AWD, a big turbo, racing suspension, aero..
It's like an evolution of the lancer…
That's a good name!
Let's call it that.
THIS...is the LANCER EVOLUTION.
To conform with Class A regulations, 2500 road cars had to be produced.
So in October of 1992, the first Lancer Evolution One's showed up in Japanese showrooms.
The initial run sold out in less than three days!
The RS version came with NO power windows, NO power seats, NO anti-lock brakes, NO rear wiper
and steel wheels.
Basically no frills.
But what it did come with was AWD and a 244 horsepower version of the legendary 4G63 engine. There is no Evo without the 4g63.
This motor is so good that upgraded versions of it powered every single generation of EVO
except for the final one.
In 1993, Mitsubishi tweaked the Evo I into the Evo II.
There weren't a lot of big upgrades on this one--lighter sway bar, bigger spoiler, and
about 10 more horsepower.
Pretty standard upgrades for the second year of a build.
Our wallet's still kinda hurtin from the engine swap.
My wife's gonna friggin kill me.
I should also note that meanwhile on the rally circuit, Mitsubishi's arch rival, Subaru,
is friggin killing it right now.
Colin McRae could do no wrong.
Mitsubishi, undeterred, kept working.
And in 1995, they introduced the kind of new, but pretty improved Evo 3.
New look, bigger holes in the front for better cooling, bigger intercooler for better cooler,
bigger spoiler, new sideskirts, different bumpers, higher compression in the engine,
and a bigger turbo.
--please do not tell my wife I spent money on a bigger turbo,
She's gonna kill me
The first big redesign though, came in 96 with the Evo 4.
The 4 RS came a new turbo and
which is basically a robot that tells the car when
to send torque to each individual wheel.
*Go that way*
Most importantly though, it also got two huge fog lights built into the front bumper.
How are people gonna know it's a rally car?
You can't see my Active Yaw Control.
It was it this point that Mitsubishi's hard work started to really pay off on the rally stage.
Finnish racing legend Tommi Makinen won the WRC driver's championship four times behind
the wheel of an Evo.
Uh, Subaru I would politely ask you to suck it.
The Evo 5 and 6 were more or less the same as the 4.
After all, this is a build.
In 2001, the Evo 7 moved into a new slightly heavier chassis and introduced a host of suspension
and engine tweaks.
More importantly, however, the Evo VII brought with it the Active Center Differential, which
in combination with Active Yaw Controls, allowed … and I'm not sure if this is the proper
engineering term, I'm gonna try and pronounce this right ummm...
Better four wheel skids.
While the world watched the Evo race through the woods, we guys in the US were f*ckin sidelined.
Americans were chompin at the collective bit for the nimble little 4 door sedan
with the big wing and the fog lights and the turbo
When Gran Turismo was introduced in 1997, both the Evo III and IV were included in the game.
Americans fell in LOVE with it.
When GT2 was released in 1999, it brought with it rally tracks--and of course,
the newly-redesigned Evo VI.
Now, North America could see what made the Evo series so devastating on the circuit,
and we wanted them.
If that wasn't enough, Initial D f*cking happened!
The show was an introduction to not only drifting, but to the entire japanese automotive lifestyle.
It was the first time a kid like me from Louisville Kentucky saw that street racing
was more than just a bunch of fat rednecks drag racing their Stangs and Camaros across the bridge.
And if Takumi had such a hard time defeating the Emperor Team which was made entirely of
Evos, then this car must be pretty serious.
I mean I want one. Top 5 for sure.
In 2003, the year I graduated from high school,
the US finally got what we were begging for.
The newly tweaked Evo VIII made it's way to North America, thank God.
*Thank you Jesus*
Lightened again, and with new Bilstein suspension, the Evo VIII adapted well to it's new environment.
It changed the game, and despite the American version lacking the Active Yaw Controls, it
sold well.
There were numerous special editions of the VIII, including the devastatingly fast FQ
series.
FQ, of course stands for:
Top Gear showed the FQ400 could keep up with the Lamborghini Murcielago.
F*ck you Kanye,
*Lamborghini Mercy..*
I have an Evo!
Debuting in 2005, the Evo IX continued the Evo's legacy of tight, corner-hugging speed,
and it was now fully available throughout North America, Japan, and Europe.
Using the Evo IX platform, Mitsubishi continued to experiment.
They produced not only a 6-speed Rally edition, but also a limited-run Evo IX station wagon
2007 saw the final incarnation of the Evo - the Evo X.
Despite lingering issues with Mitsubishi's financial footing, they pushed ahead with
the car, and it was a fitting final model.
The exterior, for the first time, was designed in Europe, and the majority of the production
cars now topped out at 280hp but it was fat and didn't have the 4G63 engine that powered
every one of it's predecessors.
The Evo X literally didn't have the heart of the EVO.
The Evo X was produced for almost ten years.
Throughout that time, few if any major updates were made, and Mitsubishi struggled to sell
In 2016, the Evo was finally retired.
and much to many people's dismay, the Lancer name (and with it the Evo's legacy) will
most likely be reincarnated as a crossover.
I feel like I'm gonna puke
but I also feel like I'm gonna sh*t too..?
So I don't know if you guys wanna....
Should I take my mic off?
Despite this, for many, the enduring legacy of the Evo series is one of pure fun:
It's a race car; it's hard to drive!
The clutch is too stiff.
But it has four doors and enough trunk space to fit a decent amount of groceries.
Let me buy one JESSICA!
It's as if Mitsubishi bought a boring four door lancer in 1992,
and then improved on it a little bit every year.
But eventually they ran out of money and had to sell their project.
Here's hoping that one day, they can figure their finances out and build a new one.
That's everything you need to know to get up to speed on the Mitsubishi Evo.
We're gonna start doing give-aways, so let us know what you would want us to give you.
