foreign of the stern pro circuit championships I'm your host Tim Sexton and I'm here to bring you up to speed with everything going on in this circuit final so far Stern pro circuit Championship is an exciting ladder finals format this means starting with four players we eliminate the last place player and bring in a new player until we're down to just the final two the winner of that game wins a championship belt a brand new Stern Pinball Machine and also a five thousand dollar cash prize let's take a look at our field hi my name is Colin MacAlpine I'm from Austin Texas my name is Jason wardrick I'm from Park Ridge Illinois Andrew Rosa II Flint Michigan my name is Brian O'Neill I'm from Portsmouth New Hampshire in each match the top-seeded player has the opportunity to choose the game or choose their order on the game so I will be choosing Avengers Infinity Quest I like Avengers a lot um and it hasn't been played as much as Godzilla has been being played this match we will have Avengers Infinity Quest this comic book themed pinball release came out in 2020 was designed by Keith elwin joining us for this match is Colin MacAlpine from Austin Texas try to get a portal lock on the skill shot get into the uh get a couple you know hits onto the Thor Captain ball and start up my mode with a portal and then bring in Thor multiball with it and get the party started Colin goes with a full plunge and he hits the secret skill shot gets himself a portal lock right away doubling his quest scoring and giving him a chance to get a multiball started very quickly plus some additional ball save time Colin is going for another shot to the portal to start the quest he's got the ball trapped on the left flipper now so Colin will do this a lot he'll take the time to think about what he's doing what his plan of attack is he chose to shoot the Thor Captain's ball and now he'll be starting the quest studied a reality gym Quest and he'll get an extra ball and play and some ball save time and double scoring from that portal lock he earned right away by shooting a skill shot so it looks like Colin was aiming for the Thor Captain ball it didn't register as a shot for him dumps the ball in the rifle and does it to take the clean shot at the Thor cap to Boston now he has three balls in play he's stacked his portal with the Thor multiball and he has an addaball available as well so you can get up to four balls in play right now get some jackpots by hitting the captive ball and he's making some progress in his reality gem quest as well by shooting shots at the same time it's about halfway through the quest the center's shot for it's probably a big award I haven't seen it another jackpot there for three million on hitting the Captain's ball gets the Atta ball that he earned by shooting the target behind the spinner his next reality gem award is at 4X right now 3x he has to spin the disc to get that back up and still getting progress in Thor multiball he has another jackpot lit and that ball will drain out in the red alley will he take yeah he takes the 6 Million jackpot but drains out the left out lane from hitting that shot so he finished the reality gem quest had a pretty decent Thor multiball but he did not come out of it with a ball and play so he'll end at 84. 84.7 million points it's a pretty good start even though it's not everything he wanted to do but he set it up perfectly with the skill shot starting the reality gem with the portal lock and brought in a Thor multiball with it and got his at a ball so he had a really long ball saver plenty of balls in play and he scored plenty of points Jason our only remaining player from game one all the way up to game seven now Tick Tock let's get this party moving Jason's taking his time here deciding where he's going to shoot the ball when it's at different points of his flippers what a strategy is he takes the button to punch it all the way around and goes for the same skill shot as Colin which Awards him the portal lock as well by completing the grid award so players don't have to hit all the combos they would normally need if that award was not in that position get a ball save there from hitting that skill shot uses it he has to hit under the disc to actually lock his portal lock he hasn't done it yet and he drains out the left out lane so only 3.6 million and that puts Jason a tough spot if the other players are able to earn that Port A Lot quickly and start their first mode since every player has the opportunity to earn the grid skill shot they can potentially continue to get better and better Awards on each ball so they want to cash in that portal lock immediately oh Andrew's plunge to knock you all the way around so that he does not have the chance to actually get the grid skill shot the plunge has to go all the way around the ramp in order to allow you to get that skill shot so no ball safe for Andrew and no portal lock uh he has lit his quest without a portal lock yet and he starts it so he will just start this reality gem quest in single ball play sometimes players if they only have one ball and play will not choose reality gem they might choose power gem instead but Andrew's just gonna go with the tried and true reality gem strategy so he has to hit his disc and he also looks like he's going to try to make some progress on Thor multiball by shooting the right captive ball and he goes to the backhand on it so he just has one shot remaining to start Thor multiball misses the backhand there but now he hits the captive ball and he gets up to two balls in play by starting Thor multiball the play Field's a little more lit up he's scoring lots of jackpots here by shooting the arrow shots which lights his attack jackpot which is more points on the captive ball foreign still playing his reality gem quest it's not made a ton of progress on that trains out the left alley so he'll be back out of Thor multiball pretty soon here it's a nice recovery shot there off the slingshot still trying to get some control and he collected his reality gems so now he has the chance to place the gym it's up to 60 million even though he did not get a portal lock so this is a pretty good start for Andrew he's made the best of a situation and like every other player before him he trains out the left out lane to end his first ball and play so although he's underneath college score by about 23 million points uh he's set up pretty well to get another Quest started and open the portal get another portal lock and get into another scoring opportunity very quickly Brian O'Neal now is player four steps up to the game and oh man Brian did not hit the skill shot wait for it another time and just went straight down the middle no ball save for Brian so he's uh quite far behind the other players at this point this makes Jason wirtrick's position a lot better because he did collect that skill shot and has the portal lock available Brian's going to need to hit that skill shot or shoot combos on his next ball in order to get there Khan mcalpite is player what is back up to the game I've got a million other better things to do than wait for you so it's like Colin's gonna take the button for the plunge here and he's waiting to line up his grid oh and he shoots the top drop Target will not give him the skill shot so does not have any ball save ah he gets his super disc mode you can get some points here by shooting the disc 480 000 points of spin not bad value he chooses to ignore it and instead he's working for his next portal lock s his reality gems so his next gem shot he shoots will place our reality gym decides to bump it off that upper flipper if you don't do that it can go straight down the middle so great decision by Colin there needs two more combos for his next portal lock hits a disc shot there and that will be another combo and his portal lock is awarded Colin is now adding on to his lead gets the next portal lock and then he hits it there so that's some good points from Super disc mode 2.7 million he's continuing to just shoot the ramps make more and more Combos and now he will choose his quest looks like he's going with time gem takano let this animation play out he has a ball save with the second ball kicking into play and he's making some quick progress of these Time Gym shots shooting the grid there for a 2 million point award cool three two one while you'll typically see with Colin when he plays this as soon as the ball saver expires he's going to try to get control of at least one of the balls in multiball if the game allows him to of course he's not going to just let the ball drain but in a position like this he will try to just separate the balls from the red flipper so he can use the right flipper to shoot the grid and uh hit the slingshot there which took the ball a little out of control now he's got both balls in play and takes a nudge there as a great nudge because he didn't want to flip he takes a danger from it but it allowed him to keep that ball trapped on the right flipper without losing that ball in play how he shoots the target Bank his other shot's lit um needs to shoot the ramps in the middle he's gonna drop a live catch there another flip out of life so he's keeping that ball trapped on the left foot he doesn't want what happened last time where he ended multiball and almost immediately went to the end of ball a needs to shoot the drop Target bank once again and from here he'll use this right flipper and wait for one he likes and shoots the middle one for an 18 million point final blow gives us some more ball saver as well he's also lit the extra ball which will give him points on the setting that ball drains out he takes a second danger to save the ball down the middle but um ricocheted right back into the middle ended Colin with 144 and a half million points another solid ball two in this format where its goal is not to get last Khan has put up a very good scoring buffer between him and all of the other players so Jason werdrick has his portal lock available he has not lit his quest yet so after he locks that ball he'll need to shoot the spinning disc in order to spell strange and light is next for his first gem quest thank you checking his grid award he only has that one bonus X1 lit and he's going for the full plunge and decides to shoot the super skill shot at the Lock Tower shot it's not worth as much as the grid super skill shot but it's a little bit uh less risky doesn't send the ball side to side and if you it's harder to miss the shot's more wide open so he spells his strange there and Jason is looking at scores the other players have achieved he knows if he can start a quest two balls of play probably bring in a Thor multiball he'll go for uh softening up Thor multiball there by shooting the captive ball you can probably get ahead of Andrew Rosa pretty quickly fans in the disc and like everyone else he's gonna go with his reality gem quest so two balls in play shoots the disc there the lightest shots ah shoots the right rep needs two more shots for Thor multiball and he was thinking about it there wants to start the store multiball maybe before this ball saver expires and he starts it there brings a third ball into play so now he'll be making Thor multiball jackpots at the same time as he makes reality gem quest shots which makes it very hard to see what the actual values of the score is when you're playing this fast but scores up to 23 million points now and he's getting very close to completing the reality jump Quest but he is down to single ball play did not play a very long multiball there storm multiball oh he's near that dangerous left out lane but survives oh what a save is he gonna tilt from that no makes a great save on the left flipper oh down the middle again could not save it did not put enough juice on the game he probably would have tilted if he had and that puts him just at 40.6 million he did not get that completion bonus on the reality gem quest which means he did not uh pass Andrew Rosa who completed his reality gem quest without the portal lock so with a lot of the games here today I think this applies to Autumn you want to start a mode and then you want to start a multiball and what that does is a multiball is going to give you more balls to kind of Hit the mode shots you want to try and complete the modes during the multiball there you go so here we have Andrews stepping up to the game Andrew has the opportunity to take a portal off from a skill shot he may choose to do that because that manual plunger is just not plunging the ball around the same as the auto plunger so Andrew is locked in his grid to give himself a diagonal three in a row not sure what award that would give him in addition to the bonus X if he completes it now he's lit his next Quest he does not have a portal lock yet and that ball might fall into it no it did it it almost threw it into the left out lane it really wants to throw this ball in the left out lane this game but he's made some great control he was over there nudges to keep the ball from going into the left alley and he'll play with just single ball play here as mind jump Quest oh I'm sorry it looks like he is in uh double scoring so I missed his portal lock three in a row so that lights is super Arc Reactor mode work of this mode and he's also made two locks already on his Tower so just needs uh one more lock to start Iron Man multiball and it looks like the lock is lit so if you can transfer this ball to the right flipper which he does there and shoot all the way to the top of the tower he can start another multiball there we go get some points for super Rock reactor starts multiball so Andrew now is uh very close to pulling ahead of Colin MacAlpine's score if he can beat this Quest score some Iron Man multiball jackpots he can catch that 144 million and put himself in very good position uh going into ball three four Million jackpot there puts him up to 90 million points is a Super Jackpot lit he's got a big countdown counting down oh he went for it but the ball got in the way went for it again but he hits the disc instead so did not get that time Super Jackpot making more progress through his quest super giant is down into red health bar territory he's getting asked to shoot the tower he's got an addable another Super Jackpot is lit that ball might come back it will oh he keeps hitting a little bit early and hitting the Tower or the uh strange disc instead of the Super Jackpot on the tower while he's playing this multiball he's made pretty good work of all his Avengers it's collected all but one up to 132 million very close to taking down Colin's number one score a nice little half look there uh sent the ball onto a safe part of the Playfield looks like he's gonna try to get some control now that he's down to two balls in play keeps that ball trapped on the right flipper really wants to get these balls trapped but unfortunately in trying to do so sends it down the middle so he is out of his multiball did not collect any super jackpots and he's trying to get his Hawkeye award 10 million plus a gem if he can shoot the side Loop oh but he went a little early Target missed it would have been a lot of points would have put him ahead of Colin gets another portal lock gotta make sure I pay attention to those oh and so what's Andrew going to do now he places his gem on the right ramp oh wow collects uh some awards there 159 million plus a good bonus 3x 8.6 million bonus this will put him over 165 million 167.8 so Andrew Rosa after ball 2 is our new leader and Brian O'Neill is currently quite far behind all the other players he's earned zero portal locks and has not made any progress to starting his first Quest and he is going for the super skill shot again and he shoots a little low there so once again no ball save for Brian and it looks like he's gonna have to go get the portal lock the old-fashioned way by making combo shots around the Playfield but she's doing a great job of right now shooting the center ramp and then the right orbit Mrs straight orbit but that makes progress towards Thor multiball only two shots to start that multiball another shot to Thor multiball oh and that shot there sends the ball into the slingshot said oh out the right out lane so Brian is uh not looking like he's in the best shape right now because he was going for his portal locks he's had trouble with the skill shot and he really needs a player like Jason to give him a score that's that's achievable if he wants to stay in this competition meanwhile both Andrew and Colin are looking and like they're in very good shape with their over 100 million point score given that they don't have to come in last and Brian's going to need to do a lot of work to catch all these players here we are waiting on you so Colin's got all his uh side spaces filled in this grid now if you can take the middle shot he can collect two awards at the same time and he has locked it in he did not get the skill shot would give him both the portal lock Ward and the vertical award which uh you'll see the ball saver award at the same time oh it'll give him 10 million points out of ball saver at the same time if he can complete the drop Target bank right now collect his time gem two million points he can choose which shot now to place it another nudge off that top flipper but he takes a Danger trying to get the ball cradled on the right flipper asking the teenies a question about the game setup oh wow that was very uncommon like it looks like he did not mean to let go of The Flipper button there and The Flipper just flipped and he uh pressed the button again and it gave him just a post pass but he regained control has lit his next Quest and he falls into it so he's gonna be forced to play his quest he'll pick my gym same path that Andrew Rosa played and he'll take his first ball lock it looks like Colin has all three locks left at his Tower and does not complete the Hawkeye challenge there hitting that shot around the loop when that ball drops on the tower can give you great Awards but if you you don't get it you uh lose that opportunity until you re-light that feature another great nudge off that upper flipper coming cleanly to his right flipper when he does that it's really really smart move there if he just doesn't want to shoot the ball side to side with the upper flipper I'll change the right orbit and gets his third ball lock starts Iron Man multiball with him a ball saver and three balls at play can really help him build up a lot of scoring in the current power jump Quest he's playing and he can also use this opportunity to complete his to assemble his Avengers and light his soul gem quest when he's finished with all these features that are currently running he's taking shots at the Thor Captain ball I don't think that's progressing him toward multiball and Colin is just at about 160 million points he will be there and he staged the upper flipper to give himself a room to shoot the attaball target did not hit the attleball target and there when that ball was on the orbit shot he decided to take the attaball gets himself more ball saver and while there is ball saver you'll see Colin be a little riskier well not here he has the Super Ball safer award on as well he is assembled his Avengers oh come on trying to take his Tower Super Jackpot really could be a tough shot especially when the ball decides oh he did get it there 14 million points on the double Tower Super Jackpot it has to reach all the way to the top of the tower to give the player credit so just getting up to the first opto it's not going to get him that Super Jackpot has to go all the way to the top 224 million points now this is a very good game from Colin Connor let that ball push the ball over to the other flipper stay up stay up thank you and he'll do a little ball separation there wow that ball bounced off the apron came back into play foreign disc building is Iron Man multiball jackpot value and drains out the right out lane with one ball there down to two balls in play this is college style of play on display here he will be very controlled it is multiball play and down to one ball in play so he has to collect his gem now at the right ramp collected his mind gem has the chance to place it Avenger with the infinity stone so Colin is thinking about what to do next he's kind of stuck in this place your gem mode until he actually places it and looks like he's going for the ramp she hits there and now by falling in the disc he starts first he collects his bonus for assembling the adventures and he starts his limited flip mode and he's got his hand placed on the button which means he is gutting for Hard Mode holding down the button hard difficulty is enabled this will give him fewer flips but more points every single shot he makes thank you so he's only played made one flip so far it does not hit early enough on the ramp but he gets credit by rolling over the rollover switch up top and now from this left leopard he's gonna go for that right or set a ramp does not hit it there and he decides to flip with the upper flipper now he's looking for the left orbit oh a little late on that shot as well trap catch is a flip see there's a flip does not flip there he gets the ball back to the right flipper really has to hit the switch all the way to the top of the orbit which he does there gives him two more flips he can still complete this needs his right orbit next and then after that he will need to make shots to the whole drop Target back which can really kill you and flips remaining ah takes three flips there getting control the ball five flips there and ah that shot has to make it all the way up to the top ramp did not make it there only one flip left two flips added by hitting the captive ball there and that drain will end the mode for him 37.75 million points for getting five shots completed in the mode it's like he's going to ignore the spinner mode even though it's very loud and flashing Colin is shuffling his gems around the Playfield sets it up in an arrangement he likes and now probably going back for combos what's he gonna do from this flipper maybe shoot the middle ramp to start his combos off again yep that's what he chooses to do and uh with a late shot as Colin points out sends the ball ricocheting into the right out lane by leaving Colin with 319 320 million points and here it is oh 319.8 million points putting Colin well in the lead right now so right now the only way Jason can guarantee himself a chance to move on on this ball is to get over 309 million points otherwise he's just gonna be watching and waiting to see what these other players do behind him why are you keeping me waiting it does have all three Iron Man locks lit though it looks like the Avenue he wants to take to progress in this game right now unfortunately for Brian O'Neill he has no progress to his Iron Man locks yet oh Jason has earned himself a Super Ball saver by completing three in a row on the grid Awards on the left side of the Playfield and he'll use it right there it's an unlimited fall saver he'll start the power gem quest so while he's in this Quest he's going to be going for his Iron Man locks at the tower shot to give the boss to reach all the way to the top of the tower so the shot making has to be precise like there that's his first lock so he needs to shoot two more times at the tower and let's see how well in the Hawkeye challenge he's going to go for the loop shot let's not make this shot there does not get the portal lock or three million points but back to the right flipper he's going to shoot the tower again and Khalid was bumping the game every time the ball came down Jason just kind of tried to let the ball come down the middle without bumping it and it sent it to the tip end of the right flipper he made a great save though to keep the ball in play and get a trap again Ed made it into his Iron Man multiball So currently Jason has made no progress on his Quest that should probably start to pick up as he has these three balls in play and he'll start making his ramp shots ball saver is expired so he has these three balls in play and it'll just be these unless he can earn himself an attaball or another ball saber foreign wow down to single ball play once again and here Jason will probably just start making mode shots attacks black dwarf there he goes up the middle so he's just picking up points about a million and a half at a time in this mode uh right now he is just putting distance between himself and Brian O'Neill if he can continue to make these shots of get through the quest he has the opportunity to get a lot of points if he can play a solo gem mode at in hard difficulty and beat it well he'll need some spinner shots in order to get there but 28 spins to assemble his Avengers and by making the shot here he's aiming for he will happen to get a lot of the spins and that's his final blow so 4.9 million oh he needs to make that orbit shot 10 spins left that'll do it so now he's completed the mode and the ball just happened to fall in for the portal lock it's very funny how the motor lifted up there and put the ball there in place so he needs to collect and place his gem before he can start to play his Soldier mode and he needs some control on the ball he's not making the shots he needs to make and he's not getting the Trap he wants still having trouble especially in getting the ball to the left Flipper the way he wants it to light up the shot to collect the gem a flipper shoots the center ramp to pass the ball over to the left flipper and collects the power gem for two million points he has to shoot a shot now to place it and then he can shoot into the portal to start his Soulja bust has not hit a Cheyenne has any shot available to set a ramp oh that shot does not make it all the way up oh he added decision between passing the ball over and shooting the center ramp finally hits the center ramp oh and he's making shots that are going very close to the alleys now takes a big nudge takes in Arc Reactor shot for 10 million points that's good value on the Arc Reactor and another lock and tries to bump the ball off that flipper into the disc but did not do it so bounce pass and oh into the left out lane so that leaves Jason at just over a hundred million points and that sets us up for an interesting finish here in the game so right now Andrew Rosa does not need to play his ball but he's up next so he will just plunge out and Brian O'Neal in order to stay in this competition on just a second game needs to come back and pass Jason wordrex 107 million it is doable in just one Quest plus a Thor multiball if he plays them really well Brian has the portal lock so he is all set up to start getting points very quickly on this ball now Brian in this situation may be to play it safe we'll just go for the easy skill shot up top nope don't take the full Plunge and just goes right into his portal lock but no boss save for Brian once again and that strange disc is in a really tough position to actually get some spins on it it is kind of right in line with the way the ball will come up and hit that so he nudged a little bit out of the way but he has not made any progress on it yet he's really trying to just get into this reality gem quest and he does not want to start Thor multiball now because that'll lock him out of that Quest so he really has to start that first Quest there he hits it from the upper flipper but that sends the ball into the left outline area oh he survives with a great nudge bounces it over a great dead pass giving the game a little extra bump making a lot of bumps here and he's not taking any tilt warnings and oh two shots going around the rim of the portal lock hole finally into his reality gem quest he goes around the world just to see what's available and starting his quest with double scoring from the portal lock and he can bring in Thor multiball with just one hit to the captain ball the first right off the bat he aims for his spinning disc to light his shots and that will start Thor multiball so now he's got all three balls in play and he really has to play uh well in this time period where he has ball saver make a lot of points in Thor multiball as well as his reality jump class up to four balls in play now so he's got everything going his way this is exactly what Brian needed to do to get back in this game and ball saver is already expired and he's already lost all three other balls in play down to single ball and oh the fourth ball goes out the right side he made 72 million points in so little time but just not enough multiball time there to get him ahead of Jason wardrix so Brian O'Neill stepping in as our 12th seed will be eliminated from the stern pro circuit Championship competition and we'll check you out next time to see who's the next player we bring in for the stern pro circuit championship and coming in at 14th Place is Brian O'Neal let's hear what he had to say about the experience field uh that some of the best players in the world and so yeah it's definitely difficult it's only one game and so if you lose you're out you don't get any second chances stick around for more matches from the stern pro circuit Championship let's see if any of these players can make it all the way to the finals
