**Flip Reset Frankie:**
*"The pattern is UNDENIABLE. Novacore goes silent... then EXPLODES when elimination looms. He did it against Wolfpackβ0 goals in Games 1-3, then 7 goals in Games 4-7. Now against the Seekersβ0 goals in Games 2-3, then 2 goals in Game 4. This man is a CLUTCH MACHINE. The question is: Can he do it on the ROAD?"*

**Boost Baron Bella:**
*"Superbot's series has been a ROLLERCOASTER. 0-0-0 disaster in Game 1. MVP-level performances in Games 2-3. Then silenced AGAIN in Game 4β0 goals, 0 assists. The Seekers' MVP candidate can't find consistency. Tonight, at HOME, he needs to be the Game 2-3 Superbot... not the Game 1 or Game 4 version."*

**Demo Duke:**
*"Here's Vitality's PROBLEM: When Novacore woke up, Echo went to SLEEP. Echo had 2 goals in Game 1 and has been invisible since. Vitality needs BOTH stars firing to win on the road. If Novacore carries alone, the Seekers' defense will adjust."*
