Bad positioning for those cannons forced him into a bad choke...

Also using corruption is underrated lol

Oh man. I'm not sure how Symbol is doing this but he's broken First's back. First has no bank and no third base. Symbol has a huge edge right now.

I can't believe First is going to lose - a "lesson" on how to engage poorly
