The script
Glass Owls are setting up around the Colossus pit, and Red Static know they have to contest. Twenty-three minutes in, gold dead even, and this fight decides the game.
Sable is flanking through the river. Is anybody watching that side? Nobody on Red Static has seen her!
Wren starts the Colossus anyway. Bold. Very bold. It's at half health...
And here comes Red Static! Juno dives the backline, stun on Kip! Kip is down!
But here's Sable from behind! Shadow step, double strike, Juno's gone! Moth's gone! The Owls are turning this around!
The Colossus is low, Red Static going for the steal... and Wren holds it! Owls secure the Colossus! Four for one! FOUR FOR ONE!
That's the fight, that's the Colossus, and Glass Owls are marching straight down the middle lane. This could be the game, folks!

Coaching notes
- Player names are short, so make them pop: 'Sable,' 'Juno,' 'Kip,' and 'Moth' each need a hard, clear start, or they disappear under the action.
- 'Is anybody watching that side?' is a question to the audience. Let it sound sly and excited, like you're the only one who has spotted the flank.
- The fight has two peaks: 'Kip is down!' for Red Static and 'Four for one!' for the Owls. Hit the first one hard, then go even bigger on the second.
Try it three more ways
- Call it as the analyst instead, slower and more tactical, explaining why the flank worked.
- Call it as a solo streamer casting a friend's game at 2 a.m., loose and unpolished.
- Call it as if Red Static win the fight, rewriting the last two lines in the moment.
