Nice
They did their job now they gone
But June and Scotty sounded scared about the restart I hope they’re okay
who is the sponsor for the arina
Ariana Grande
Most likely DISSUN
Brother
New map is Japan right?
Yes
Imagine there being JPop 
wait, In the Trailer there were "contestants" who were doing other things (like the Chef) in the trailer getting transported into The Finals.
I dunno but why do I have the feeling that the Finals when they got Restarted trasported unwilling "contestants" from other "shows" and made them fight here?
Those are from different shows for sure
GOOD POINT
THEY ALL LOOK LIKE CITIZENS, WHO WERE TRANSPORTED THERE AND THEY LOOKED CONFUSED
the chef's reaction makes it more convincing for me
Remember there’s a meet point as well
I don’t know much about the lore but from a basic guess people are randomly getting put in the game
people chilling and relaxing they got pulled in
Yeah thats something new that we discovered from this trailer
I’m so hyped
Everyone from the meet area got reeled in by the wipe
maybe there was a bug in the system and they ended up accidentally in the arena

___________./ThefinalsVRs (something).stats
spent a while looking at it and thats the best i can make out
it's like that
Library is the CNS map
Shs horizon
They cant change it so they deleted it?
its your grandmas old HP computer lol
Anyone else love the scout girl outfit?
good idea or
I think CNS when they put that map in, Had it filled to the brim with code that transports historical or important books hidden within the map, like the "library" or Campus part in Horizon would suggest. Therefore, new maps relating to the world would be implimented to tell the world about it
libraries are a programming thing, its most likely referring to those
theyre "libraries" of prewritten code imported to help optimize or build programs easier
fair point
in the mean time, as A.I. is a thing most likely in the Finals, Is it possible that some of the contestants are A.I. and If so, is it reasonable to assume that the Contestants wearing Medival Japanese clothing are A.I.s built to showcase to the world the new things or do something Crazy? a thing CNS planned with the "library" reset
I was about to say that the guys in the trailer seemed to be there as people living in that world/ time period
PvE?
The lore is getting juicer and juicer
def not, embark are making a seperate pve game
in-game event to promote said game is not out of the window
lore making no sence
true enough
Wait really?
What’s the game called?
ARC raiders
I need to check that out. Thanks
technically it's escape from tarkov with Bots, AKA, PVEVP
what if an AI has captured humans and lets them fight against each other in a "gameshow" to study their combat skills?
@jolly marsh sry if im bothering you, but why does lore not have thread allowances?
and CNS tryna get the ai aliens out
good point, make a sort of cork board of theories about lore
wanted to make thread about decoding the pictures, did last time and all the stuff got all garbled with everyone elses talk
anyone else notice the new sponsors in the corner at the end of the trailer?
i cant upload screenshots yet so i cant send it
ah
I do not know as well but make it as a suggestion and I'll right it down oke?
thanks man! will help us a lot, and the better guys may like it too
https://chng.it/VQknRss7gH sign this to change the ranked gamemode back to cashout
wait if the finals is a vr gameshow, isnt doing the thug shake canon? i mean come on
you can twerk its canon the finals is literally vr
besides, you can even make some threads (when you or other Mods start it) only seen by staff
I support this idea
Lets thug it out in the arena chat chat do the thug shake
they should really make a VR port
For thugging things out
or maybe they remade the map to keep but without the viruses
also the ospuze website is back to normal
what is this charm you speak of
Dolphin Charm EE
i want it
damn this must be a hard secret, for a sick ass charm, i just looked it up
its an animated dolphin I NEED it
made me actually interact with the discord for it instead of sitting here for updates lol
CNS hacked the finals into making terminal attack the main ranked mode and the CEOs behind the finals are trying to get tournament back into ranked.
CNS is gone
I'm supporting the CEOs then😭
they are completely out of the system, for now
so people did an easter egg just for there to be another one
this is outside the main EE
EE= more EE, resulting in even more EE
No, Season two is still going. They haven't yet.
then why would the new vaiiya sweater have the desc "thanks to VAIIYA CEO Sal Scoria, THE FINALS will continue to operate no matter what cns tries."
Oh and, they still won't according to the knew trailer. (looks cool though)
and not to mention the new trailer showing that cns is gone by going to a previous version of the finals before cns
it showed them pressing the reset button
the arena date is simply earlier. CNS did indeed take them somewhere.
i always thought about this but maybe someone can think if it might have any ties to current lore. what if CNS has undercover workers in vaiiya, meaning vaiiya is being sabotaged from the inside which is preventing vaiiya from doing a full takedown of CNS?
by ''full takedown'' i mean completely destroying CNS and stopping them from doing any operations.
adding on to the undercover workers thingy, if CNS does have agents in vaiiya stopping operations, would vaiiya be able to find out and what would they do after?
i hope this is the way it goes ❤️
yo im watching the original matrix.... i think the goal of CNS is the same as morpheous
wake up and see the truth
maybe THE FINALS is the same as the wake up part in the matrix
YO I GOT SOMTHING
"the pill is part of a program that disrupts your carrier input-output signal " -- the matrix
Good eyes man
now im thinking that CNS is just like a crew of a pirate ship like the Nebuchadnezzar
and the "core" can re-broadcast our signal back INTO the matrix
yo @trail wren you are the best (or one of) to tell me if this is a good theory, cuz ive never seen anyone talk about the matrix yet
is it possible that meatspace could be on a spaceship, and everyone on the ship is playing vr? like in the series 1899, where the main character wakes up from a simulation.
https://youtu.be/fwD31aXzn-w?si=MR3mpGnHsDNBHNFP
yes! like everybody is escaping from meatspace to vr.
Where are you getting these from?
I just woke up, I have no idea what's happening
recent lore video in-game
katana?
That too
I wonder if the cns clothing turn into a non-glitchy variant
And looks like we're keeping the defend gamemode
we even got rank terminal attack
And world tour weekly tournament
also why is there a sushi chef in the finals? aren't they in the vr? do they need to eat?
Why is there armor to buy? It doesn't help you, just looks cool
We got a racecar driver and we have no cars
no, they mean in the trailer. a chef somehow gets pulled into a round of the finals, when he's busy cooking.
I'm talking about trailer. After they reboot the game the chef the other contestant got teleported to the games
I know we're getting a chef skin
And the knife is probably a dagger skin
this guy. he's presumably in the VR space. what's he doing?
and another thing, are all VR spaces connected? How'd he get pulled in?
yes^^^
well that much is obvious.
so it's actually ready player one type vr
Yes, it's called the virtual world
There's virtual world and meatspace
idk but Chef Dude is officially the best character in the Finals
no prep time, just a knife, calmly cooking another meal at VR Resturant workplace, gets dragged into THE GREATEST GAMESHOW ON THE PLANET with everyone around him armed and ready to fight with guns, swords, and a big bamboo shoot and fucking goes with it
I love him, he is such a vibe
he can easily solo Scotty after a 6-pack of Ospuze
and then force him to drink water
I love how he's chill about being dragged across worlds, he's preparing food and in a minute he's killing people with guns
hes a light as well, the heavy to his left is like 3 feet taller than him
a funny coincidence
Thats actually really funny
im looking at the domains like volpe.com or iseult.com and the iseult one costs 6000 dollars to buy
little for embark
Folks, don't you think it's kinda suspicious that the CNS outplayed a literal security company?
russian 16 year old hackers
lmao
it kinda pissed me off how we went from cns fighting with vaiiya and all the crazy stuff to a complete random change with no story of what happened, like we know vaiiya reset everything but still
we do know now that random contestants are pulled into the finals
so does that mean a reset is like the complete start? so scotty got randomly pulled in to play
Don't you think it's kinda like VRChat? Like, a virtual reality with multiple worlds. The Finals has to have a large chunk of VR space, it's a big company, after all.
its ready player one so you can basically walk irl and you wont bump into anything irl
no joysticks to move or anything
Uh huh
and yeah the chef was probably not in the meatspace because it cant just digitally take him like that he had to be playing like cooking simulator 3 or something
Not everybody can afford to be a chef, so, makes sense he is making food in VR space
true true everything would be vr so meatspace chef would be useless as no one would eat there
but how does it work to vr users like eat inside vr or do they eat outside
Talking about the CNS vs VAIIYA battle, hackers did have the map toolbox advantage (demat and prop switcher)
they could probably hide as furniture
probably like readyplayer one they go into meatspace to do important stuff
I don't think that's how it works, maybe that was some glitch because you still have all the Japanese themed contestants who weren't confused and were prepared. Maybe the other people were in some sort of lobby?
Maybe we will get more info later
I need to know more about the chef, I MUST know his lore
He seems like a normal guy, a Bob, if you will
Obviously this Bob has great power
I mean, the AI fucked up and chose the wrong contestants against the themed ones. June and Scotty did talk about how unpredictable the consequences of reset are going to be
Yeah
VAIIYA fucked up, big time.
I want to see how they react in the cutscenes for this season
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if, in-game, their stocks plummeted after the reset
Was last season's intro cutscene the trailer?
Or do you think we will get some diologue on the new state of the game
can i ask of the events rn
Totally will
The change wouldn't go unnoticed
so now we know the virtual architects dont exist. its just an ai making things
NOOOOOO AI GENERATED ART WINS IN THE FUTURE
yup :(((
keep my BABY BOY away from that AI come here nama tama you stay away from the bad man
Honestly? Makes sense. The CNS was robbed of maps and then fired by the company
Of course but will it be on launch or later on in the season? What do you think I can't wait
I dunno, man. We just gotta wait a couple of days
A couple long days
what if they never existed in the first place, the architects
the ai just started screaming and feared for its 'life' and didnt want to be reset, so it went haywire and took us to 1500s japan to keep us satiated
(Or short days, I still need to get diamond)
Doesn't make sense
in what way? cns couldve broke in and made syshorizon themselves, but whose to say that the ai hasn't been making seoul, monaco, and las vegas? maybe theres a small team that picks the best parts (because of the chunks of land that seem to be able to be 'dragged and dropped' into skyway modules) to put into skyway, but still, the ai might be doing most of the work here
CNS are architects
are they? ive never seen that mentioned
Wasn't there a message that CNS is getting back what its' owed or smt like that?
Also, their weaponry very much reminds of those that mappers/game devs have (demat, prop changer)
I want bomb squad heavy, that gun too, looks awesome
another new gun
new sniper?
"get over here"
thats the akm
and thats probably a camo for the current sniper
I more likely to be a tactical camo set…
Something interesting I noticed in the new trailer is that Scotty and June aren’t present other than an echo in the beginning. No clue what that implies, but it’s interesting to me
that does NOT look like the heavy shotgun, too stubby in the middle and too long of a barrel
recap on lore so far ?
i forgot mostly, its 2 am for me lol
go to sleep
i got some work i REALLY gotta turn in, and now i got 2 more units to finish for the 30th
2 units, 10 days
you probably
yes that is me

so what's up with the lore today 
stuff, did you see my connections to the matrix? its above a lot
looks like a more long range gun
like a big auto rifle
this is a reskinned SR84
its new heavy weapon, light bow and katana, and mediums double katanas, and also heavy spear
so lets talk about about lore, why the hell random people from different places teleported to game, its looks similar like in fortnite when portals took people from other universes. But here is question, why game took people from their work places, or how it works? we saw VANIIYA security guy, three people with new sponsor outfits and random asian chef who was teleported to game
i understand if it was in game match and couple players just wast teleported to new arena, but no, game took people from different places. like... people dont live in real life they live in vr world
my cook just didn't even question it and join in the fight
so what i can say, its reminds me the movie "Surrogates", people dont live in real world they live in VR, and working in vr, that why "the finals or AI" took them from their places and works etc
maybe people have being a final contestant as a sidejob in their vr lives, quickcash and fame, and people being teleported likely are registered so they aren't suprised
they could also not be real people, maybe just NPCs, the chef was probably taken from a cooking show
a virtual cooking show
So thats what im talking about, people live in vr, they dont "touch grass"😂
But question is why they didnt take vr off
or maybe meatspace is a really futuristic fancy place
and the vr headsets are just better apple vision pros
maybe they already uploaded their mind on to the net, kinda like a post apocalypse thingy
they probably don't need TVs anymore because it's all on their face
or maybe they have brain implants to be in vr without changing anything
doesn’t game take place in 2099 or 2100s
ye it does, why?
probably why they prefer living in vr as real world is probably shit hole due to economic, resource scarcity,overpopulation
the environment must be messed up too
and the vr is just upper-class shit, to escape reality completely
i wonder what war happened in the finals verse
technology took over probably
Yep, real world sucks, so you live in vr, and if you want money or reputation you go to the finals
maybe like the sentanals in the matrix? (sry if im obsessing over the matrix, just seems so good of a fit)
I guess we can only theorize
hmm maybe they are recreating old cool places to make us live through them (in mayhem) because they got destroyed irl?
like the monaco map, too small to exist 80 years later
Who do we think are the S3 sponsors?
hi
DISSUN and ENOIMO
Thanks
That's quite amazing! I wonder what will their skins be like.
I'm a VAIIYA fan myself
we know one DISSUN skin
VAIIYA sucks ass. Get a better sponsor
Can you show? I wanna see how it looks
vaiiya really did just kill a semi sentient ai with the reset button
:( hey there, their outfits are fire
(although I love CNS out of all of them, but they are not technically a sponsor)
And their skill is trash
nah VAIIYA drip is fire
VAIIYA is just a company of LARPers, lmao
Oh fuck yeah that's amazing
LMAO
Don't you dare. VAIIYA are so good
But CNS is stronger tbh 🙏🙏
A bunch of vigilantes dropkicked VAIIYA like a bunch of babies
As a matter of fact, they got dropkicked so hard, they had to hard reset The Finals™️
CNS only works well with other CNS clothing
NAAH we are having beef.
you can throw any black/white on VAIIYA drip
This ain't no beef, this an execution
Yeah the only thing that sucks :( VAIIYA GOES WITH EVERYTHING
ok ok ok in vaiiya's defense
irl this happens all the time. the 'defenders' (companies that provide cybersecurity) are almost ALWAYS late to a data breach. thats the nature of it
DECLARATION OF WAR. NAH THAT'S IT
Now since I'm a Yellow role, I can finally share my brainrot memes 😭🙏
but not here
Yeah dw
ricky when i catch you ricky when i catch you ricky when i
GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU GEGE
VAIIYA fanboy got cooked so hard he bout to hard reset The Finals™️ again lmao
Dissun, dxz, and other TECHWEAR cloths are amazing, im only wear them now
What is your fav sponsor?
Guess
Ospuze?
That's it, baby. Let's go, OSPUZE. O to the S to the P to the UZE
that's a sentence I thought no one would say
That is still fair, but what do they even do, sell energy drinks 😭 that's a bit boring.
VAIIYA FTW. WE PROTECTING FROM THE HACKERS WITH THIS ONE
we need a water company sponsor
Glug glug glug
I was trying to parody "let's go Mets"
Would go toe-to-toe against Ospuze
Bro's company stock is about to plummet lmao
Oscar would be sad 😔
I mean, VAIIYA did succeed after like 2 months against CNS
You will not laugh when CNS hacks Ospuze 🙏 come to us VAIIYA fans to save you from them 🙏🙏
I wouldn't call using basically a nuke a win
Fight fire with a nuke. That more like it tbh.
that's what cybersecurity does...
More of a last ditch effort to save face
if it's too bad => hard reset
That is a last ditch effort
yet it worked
CNS didn't have a last ditch effort, they lost
Imagine VAIIYA's face when the CNS makes it to the The Finals™️ servers in the meat space
Then VAIIYA LAUNCHES A NUKE
that's where HOLTOW and VOLPE comes it
Insurance?
cns didn't need to win. all they needed to do was make a disruption. they got their disruption. in universe, its likely that stocks for the finals and multico have just tanked
nvm it stupid
Exactly 🙏🙏
the ai having a fit and getting reset meant that kyoto happened
The Finals™️ probably does have security on site
nah they rise, new watchers better content
It would make sense to protect the servers of their money machine. I don't think it's unbreakable tho
good point but also, stocks people are cuckoo and might not have seen this
THAT'S VAIIYA BABY 🗣️🗣️🗣️
THE FINALS is the most protected asset in meatspace, they can't just go in and destroy the servers
I'd love a TA remake in the Meat space, where people just straight up die, not even fall into coins
then the stocks rise after people realise its Good.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
VAIIYA is cybersecurity
Still. I have to support my agenda
Basically, really.
Whatever. Your fucking agents are probably on THAT OSPUZE, BABY. O to the S to the P to the UZE.
when virtual reality and real. reality are both indistinguishable, is there really a difference in meatspace security and cybersecurity?
and CNS is a hacker group not an irl gang to destroy heavily armored property
cause 'securing' things in vr seems very physical? in a way?
We drinking coffee 🙏🙏 we aren't messing with the Yellows
Touché
Is that OSPUZE racism?
Maybe it is. No comment
I'm simply supporting my agenda 😀
Oh you cheeky cyberbastard
What is Ospuze gonna do the next time CNS attacks. Pour energy drink on them 😭🙏
Yeah. Kill the servers. Pour energy drink on the laptop
I got a big brain theory
what if the servers of THE FINALS are in the locations of the maps, like there could be one in Monaco, one in Seoul
because why would a multi-billionaire company only sponsor a virtual map, what if they sponsor the servers to work there in case something bad happens
and probably skyway stadium is somewhere between the 2 locations
to access both maps but only parts of it
what about skyway stadium
idk wherever CNS is
the announcer (big voice that isnt scotty and june) does speak in korean in seoul so
and japanese in the trailer
mhhm
the announcer could be part of the AI inside the servers
maybe! do you think the ai is sentient
I think it's just coded to say certain stuff when stuff happens
also could the other sponsor outside of DISSUN be [image] and not ENOIMO?
and we just read it wrong from the trailer
yes hunter didn't update it somehow 
or they didn't spot it
they ofc spot it long time ago
oh
we just hadn’t figured out the name
ah here the hunter
well now we know
it is not enoimo?
it is ENOIMO
it's like en8imo
sounds weird but so far that’s what we have? i haven’t dissected the trailer
I mean there is the weird logo inside the ENOIMO text
bit it's clearly emoimo. idk man
Encino 🤭
could be
it would be weird to have a number in the middle
what was the other company again?
DISSUN

is not?
looks to be COMETA or CONNETA
isnt it the blue one on the wiki?
this picture reveal the name
oh
really cool
which one?
how many time they have reach the finals?
or like second person to reach the finals
maybe scotty number 1
or maybe it's a leaderboard
oh wait i have a picture
can't find it 😭
oo 3 and 7
3 one is arc rider character not the finals
this changed to 2
Oh.
and this changed from 2
could be like "hey i'm the second person to reach the finals guys!!!" and process to put the number on their clothes
but the numbers change
it's a concept art anything can change
all the sets also talk about victory (they all have the numbers)
I've seen that somewhere before
yeah but why would the numbers change?
why would they have numbers in the first place?
right now, we can only guess 😂
and this jacket literally says "to be better than everyone else"
and it's a 9, probably in top 10 on the leaderboard, pretty high spot to be in
bruh but 89
nah 89 is weird
first trailer image
r the ppl that get sucked into the finals in the meat space or also in the simulation but just a different part of it
the people that got sucked in are from different parts of the virtual world
also when do i get image perms
rank up
damn
jus talk more
have you watch ready player one?
I have, it's really cool
i think it's like that in the finals
but in meatspace it's more of a dystopian world or post apocalypse (in the finals)
did yall see those collection of numbers n letters in the trailer
like near the egg image
huh where
i wanna send a ss but im not a high enough rank
the binary?
nooo not binary
yes
i think it's just random glitchy number just like cns glitchy stuff
ye
seems to be the letters from the 2 sponsors and just random numbers and letters
maybe parts of the code from the game, idk
neither ensimo or dissun have a K in them
well i wouldnt say random cuz 90% is just these letters/nubmers
idk i just think there's somethign to it
the CNS shirts also have random letters and numbers
you might go crazy on season 2 trailer 😂 cuz there alot of it
probably CNS code blowing up or some shit 💀
man, i've watched the season 3 trailer 30 times today. the hype is eating me!
the story of CNS hacking in to change the game is actually a retelling of the meta story of Nexon stepping in to try and steer Embark
lore: there is a secret list of bad words. perhaps battlefield is one of them? i guess i'll find out when i press enter.
real
this?
i worked out the word - it was the word for little person which is now seen as offensive when used toward a little person (m 1 d g 3 t), so i can now post my feedback. lore established. little people, jockeys, and Light class players, must be referred to as gnomes.
the catholic church has entered the chat (during easter)
yuh
it's probably a random pattern on the plank...
thats pug
frank the pug
looks like an egg to me
that was in the trailer?
yes in every trailer
also
ads
pop pour perform
here wiki about pug https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Teaser_Trailer_Easter_Eggs
ii need image permsss
thats exactly the image thats on the wood, nice find
we have spotted the "S lies" and in the S2 trailer, https://youtu.be/hVdKBnmvOLE?si=_n87arMrYTljo475&t=57 Scotty is talking and then his voice turned into the CNS voice
could S refer to Scotty?
thats already a common theory
well yeah but his voice turned into the CNS voice
well could be anyone right?
Sofia is just energy drink and Sal Scoria wasn't in the game until a bit later
scotty it's just announcer
yeah a commentator who was a contestant in the past
yes. and uh you know white rabbit easter egg?
the graffiti and tatoo?
and matrix "follow the white rabbit"
graffiti one
I only heard about it being in places, what does it mean?
true but whe havent hear'd anything about those CEO's idk wha they'd be lying about but i wouldnt rlly know what scotty would be about either so :p
oh it spells out S L I E S
hows the monkey hunt going btw
i think it's just like a hint to where the white rabbit is
last time i heard we found 3 or 4 or sum
what monkey?
3 headed monkies
they already found a way to see them you should join the hunt
It's up to 5 now
2 more I think, also everything so far's been consonants
and what are they currently?
does anyone know anything about the art on the wall we see in the house of the S3 trailer
women praying?
you should read #egg-hunt-onboarding
yeah
that's just women praying... it's common in old japan
i guess but sometimes we gotta dig into the history of stuff so i thought maybe there's something about it
i think it's a original art
what about the gold like plate we see on the left of the next scene
religious stuff
yeah i know but what is it called, why do they hang it there, whats the history behind it
idk, I'm not japanese and google is barely giving me answers
and also it's 1568
and the wall painting doesn't really have a big meaning behind it, it's just artistic purposes
well in the S3 trailer June did say that the reset can take us anywhere
holy shit I see the dog now
we literally already went over that
a pug
Nice to see the pug again
guys I found something weird
in the trailer, the heavy has this gun [image 1] and in a few scenes later he has this gun [image 2]
the second gun is missing the muzzle break(?)
maybe gun attachment customization?
oh hell no
i think it's just model bug
but it's weird to have different models in the same trailer
Skins maybe??
The AKM does have a muzzle here and the SR-84 has a Bipod
and a different scope
It's pretty inconsistent which is weird
This gun in the back I believe is supposed to be the Famas but it's barrel isn't that long, maybe attachments?
I love that the owners of this show decided to leave all of the stuff, added by CNS. From map to the whole gamemode and even putting it in ranked
Is it possible that next season we're getting atachments?
nama tama is the evil ai confirmed
Free labour's free labour

I think we are going to see attachments soon in the finals.
And beards, don't forget beards
what's this "reset button"?
But I’m wondering if this whole seek the truth behind the walls relates to the outside world truths, in the trailer all the new contestants were clearly confused once they were ripped from their familiar reality and placed into the arena.
Vaiiya reseting the finals to stop cns
huh
Season 3
then why's june losing it when talikng about it
I think CNS are good guys
Because they're reseting the whole game
And vaiya are anti virus software created by the rogue AI
BS
?
I’m thinking more and more that the finals relates to the Arc raiders world
joe's udeas are BS
Ye
The fact that DISSUNS logo is behind the roller bot in Arc raiders is either a cheesy nod and reuse of an asset or DISSUN is a manufacturer in both games
/one world
Ahaha why are my ideas BS
So ripping people from reality and placing them into an infinite deathmatch is a positive thing…?
that's not what i said
Seems kind of malicous
Nah, only now
Maybe CNS is trying to shut it down and potentially free people stuck in the finals
Its kind of a black mirror take but i dont think its BS
I guess you made a theory and we got nothing to go against it, or agree with it
another question-HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET TO 16TH CENTURY FEUDAL KYOTO?!
I think there’s more signs pointing to some shady stuff going on with the lore of the finals than positive stuff
In my opinion
Paintings, books, existing buildings, stories and legends
NO HOW WERE WE TRANSPORTED THERE BY THE BUTTON
June said the reset would take us anywhere without control, and it too us to 16th century Kyoto
The hard reset, maybe it was unstable but the only option
I’m just not buying this as having no parallel to the finals
That is 100% the DISSUN logo in the new trailer
Maybe a recycled logo
you really think they would just casually do that ? Knowing the community is picking apart everything to uncover “the truth beyond the walls”
I’m thinking it’s a manufacturer across both games.
Especially how that sponsor is seen on the race jackets that are being added.
What's the lore of arc raiders anyway?
we found out earlier that DISSUN makes a roller bot of the ARK
Condensed: More or less a future where machines have gone rogue and you play as a future earth survivor.
Oh.
We are 100% confirming that?
Probably not, maybe a 80%
the others showed very hard proof, go look back a lot
That’s why I feel like the whole rogue AI idea isn’t too far off especially if these worlds are meshed
Because the outfit DISSUN was spotted on has a really futuristic tech helmet, not really surprising if they made the robot in arc
there
upside down DUSSIN logo behind it
so maybe the "sponsors" are current bot makers? we can theorize
That’s my theory @hallow sentinel
I think it would be very ODD for them to just casually use that logo like that.
yea, but what about the other logos? are those also bot kinds?
What are the other logos for other bots?
like the dussin one, maybe the other logos of other sponsors represent other ARK models
But do you have pictures of other bots
no, i was just theorizing
plus i dont even know where the dussin bot pic came from
the others found that
Wut….
I'm really confused
I'm happy for you or sorry that happened
Is this the Easter eggs info?
Nah this the channel for lore
Info is in #easter-eggs and #egg-hunt-onboarding
Hey, ya'll. I'm new to getting into the lore and stuff. Are there any good YouTubers or specific videos that are good for getting caught up on some general info?
SPEAR
Although he's the only one that comes to my mind currently, there are probably more
Awesome! Thank you!
bro this isnt minecraft
I wish chocolate ice cream is being served in Vegas is canon.
is scotty gay chat
“Remember what we’re fighting for men, Ospooze merch!”- a friend
the bigger question is... are you gay for scotty?
mhmmm
a machine can’t have feelings
not even gay?:((
any signs of a machine having feelings should immediately destroy to prevent the extinction of humanity
honestly
yeah
Do we know S3's sponsors yet?
I think incorporation of NFTs so we can directly pay our devs for cosmetics as well as trade limited available skins would be pretty cool.
I know people don't know much about NFTs tho still.
yes
My bet's on VAIIYA for one, since they reboot the system
did they actually rebooted it? i thought the ai won't let it happen
June: It's pride month scotty, YOU know what that means
im not tottaly sure they are REPLACING it, think its going to be in a catagory just like quickplay
Ss3 sponsor is actually Dissun and ENØIMO
Yes, there's two sponsor names listed in the left down corner of the screen at the end of the trailer
Dissun skin looks cool, looking forward to more cyborg/techy skins in the future
Thank you
DISSUN, DXZ,IVADA, X7//AV thats what you looking for, my friend
they got best tech wear outfits
im very sad that i dont have enought money for CITY LANCER SET and URBAN OPERATIVE SET
I have sum pocket change but sadly I don't have an online paying method atm ;w;
Is Dissun the sponsor for S3?
one of them, yes
Do we know any others?
There's also Enomo
Hype
its name is up for debate
I've heard ENOMO, ENOIMO, ENSIMO, EN8IMO
we will have to see the official name
a lotta options
it'll only be one in 4 days :)
we have Enomo, and then there's all the fake brands
Or maybe I'm wrong. Either way, can't wait for S3 :D
we don't have the definitive name yet
yeah I was jk
fair 💀
what do you guys think new sponsors do?
ospuze is drink brand, iseult is clothe brand, holtow is a insurance.
i think dissun is about a car
and we already see the car in one of the videos from embark a while back
I predict each season will have a new ranked mode that fits with the lore of that season. Which is why terminal attack is the ranked gamemode of season 3, as CNS and Viaaya are competing to take control of the finals' system.
or maybe the game manager just found it interesting and put this now like main tournament...
wait this game was supposed to have transport????????
yep, but by animations you can see that its very old, or even pre-pre-pre alpha version
ohhh, yeah, makes sense, thank you
well they reboot the whole gameshow and cns is already gone in season 3
Rebooting the system didn't stop CNS, it's a temporary fix to 'remove' the arena loading in glitched, which is the sys horizon map (although us players can still access syshorizon)
its stopped CNS for a while, because they need to think how to get access again
i could make a really funny edit here but im lazy
oh dam i didn't noticed there were vehicles in the teaser trailer
can't wait for season 10 in the next 21 months 😂
Good point.
SEASON X FROM FORNTITE CONFIRMED
Season X will arrive probably 2026 due to only being in the end of season 2
The hype has to wait my friend
What if the new double katana for medium is just riot shield
It can block bullets and attack at close range, seems like riot shield to me
Here season x is probably not season ten, but x is a variable bcuz its like an example he is giving
Season x better have some good stuff, I bet customizable weapon sights
Nah we getting the biggest map ever with 8 teams instead of 3/4.
It’s called “big bucks”
Anybody have any idea if TRISTAN+ means anything in the FINAL'S LORE?... Is it the Ai? In Finals?
,@spear - been seeing it on loading screen on the Seoul map I believe... Looks like an octopus 🤔
Yee
another potential sponsor, perhaps linked to ISEUL-T
need a tristan+ sponser skins lol
It’s a new weapon it was confirmed in the announcements! “Medium Build: Dual blades can deal hearty melee damage and also block and deflect bullets, so get ready to feel unstoppable!” My guess is it will function like riot shield but you dash forward while blocking bullets at the cost of a cool-down between blocks
Ok, makes sense
apparently CNS injected their code into THE FINALS
injection successful
and this corrupted ASCII thing of the CNS logo
WHYY 
So is CNS staying and coming back later?
na, found this in the pre s2 trailer, sry for not saying
we know this is CNS rather than the ai bc ai sucks at ASCII art
I never saw these cars before. What trailer is this from?
CB iirc
hello
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN THE LORE
THE FINALS takes place about 75 years in the future, roughly around the year 2100. It is the greatest virtual game show on the planet, with a large, global fan base, and considered a window to a bigger world outside of the real one.
The real world is known as the Meatspace, but most people spend their time in the Virtual World. Contestants join ...
ho thats cool reminds me of ready player one
And free guy lol
frfr
erm... mods!
can someone please tell me how the ranked arrows work. i dont know how many more arrows i need to rank up. or acc i dont know how they work in general someone please explain
HAS ANY TIRED PUTTING THE SOUNDS FROM THE TRAILIER IN A SPECTROGRAM
THE THING WHERE IT MAKES PICTIURES OUT OF SOUND
when can we have these blue gun skins?
pretty sure they were part of a CB battlepass thing. They most likely won't come back
what you talking about? they definitely come back. maybe season 4 where iseult is a main sponsor or in the next 2 moths.
tbh BTB but the finals would be sick
nope not drip check. this outfits isn't come out yet
oh, leak?
from rob
I don't think they'd bring something that was an exclusive reward back
i don't think anyone has that blue skin
it was in the battle pass in close beta not permanent
just try to say it will definitely come back in the future
Itd be interesting to see if they brought the nonpermanent closed beta/alpha rewards back at some point
Hopefully we get another lore trailer start of S3
in season 3 VAIIYA will try to find out what the hell is going on, why some people was kidnaped into another arena. CNS will try to get access to AI and to the finals games again. Scotty and June keeping telling that it was mistake to reboot games
nice theory
its a true
This might trigger the AI (I'll call it the Architect, I think it is the Announcer is a sub-routine of it) even more. The fact it cans spread to other "instances" of the VR world is worrying and might lead to events of ARC Raiders.
why you guys think that the finals and arc raiders in same universe???
the lore says CNS will rise on the third day in accordance with the scriptures and will hack every pc that does not have the finals installed and at least 50 hours played.
yes. the new sponsors suggest so, and the direction of the lore suggests this as well.

These narrators and particularly the art direction feel heavily inspired by classic cyber punk. Like W. Gibson. I think we will see an AI trying to escape into the game.
time will tell
wait new sponsor could be about machinery
with the season 3 contestant design we got and the rollerbot from arc raiders.
the design look similar though
they were in the closed beta battle pass, not sure when they will come back
i want to make the finals tattoo sleeve
if i put ospuze on sleeve, will i get unlimited energy drink??
perfect ! how did you made it
The official drive ??
yes!
Holy jesus
we've known about these nods to ARC Raiders for a long, long time
theres lore on this game?
Wondering the same thing💀
that stuff looks like oil with the way it flows down like that
Thankful for this passionate community and all we do to keep track of this lore.
Has anyone noticed that the gun max level skins added each season are a reference to the next season? If you look at season one's skin it has the CNS colors and a kind of glitched effect, and the current season 2 skin has a koi fish pattern with a cherry blossom color palette.
isnt it just a pink zebra pattern?
Maybe 😪
but maybe u got a point, we will see next season whats new lvl gonna be
Man, I'm so happy to see the game going back to more of a game show type vibe. I think season 2 completely muddled the theme and aesthetics of the game
why is holtow website still hacked, they reset everything?
disagree, gotta shake up the games theme every now and again, and it served the plot. not saying that a general game show theme is bad fyi, just that it could get stale over time if not built on
Yummers
You guys know that they have images of what’s most likely Scotty in a bath of ospuze
"engimo," its a g, not an o, lol
maybe itll change when the new season drops
I wonder what energy drink oj would taste like
i imagine thats what ospuze tastes like
I hope they have other flavours because I don't think I'd like it
fr
is that morse code on the sides?
Do we know anyone other S3 sponsors besides Dissun?
idk
DISSUN and ENGIMO
so it called engimo?
Thanks spear, love the videos by the way. Keep it up 🙂
what did he mean when he said that the color of envy is green and thats for a good reason
is this a hint towards the skin colors being green this time around unlike pink as they said they will be putting in other colors during the second last community update or does it have a deeper meaning
like why envy and why is envy being green good
Might be unrelated but is there official or concept art for what scottie and june look like or is that a secret for now
They are teasing an emerald rank I think:
Also, diamonds and rubies are beautiful, but have you ever seen an emerald??
ohhh
no we still don't know
Thank u!
Hi
”Green is the colour of envy for a reason” or some shit like that. I think Oscar said something like that in the recent video.
just scrolled up mb guys
I'm new to finally trying to get into the lore of the game. Are Scotty and June romantically involved, possibly? I was catching up on SPEAR's videos and their little logo looks like a heart
They have a logo?
yea it's an S and a J that looks like a heart to me. can't remember which SPEAR video i saw it on
found it, its on the wiki as well
Yassss doesn’t it look like a heckin’ heart? I’m sus
it really does ngl
Anyone else feel like there’s a been a gap lore wise between the last lore video and the S3 trailer?
Like what happened to CNS? Why did the system reset mean we are going to Kyoto?
Was the reset successful?
Did the AI try and fight back…? Idk
hh
We'll have to figure those out
it tried by making that "final boss" thing i decoded. but apparently the bosses ai was fried 😂
heres the unscrambled one
still gotta fully fix it tho
and they had the idea of japan from the beta lol
and bro is holding cheese
Ospuzr cheese
lol no joke
Anything yellow is automatically made by ospuze
Yum
mmmm that looks like ozpuse cheese liquid
tasty
unreleased m11 skin, prob for that cowboy event we had
Ospuze radioactive cheese
And after a generous sponsorship, it's now at a 10% discount for people who participate in The Finals!
Ospuze is radioactive melted cheese with cofee
mmmmm yummy
cheese wiz but its ozpuse radioactive melted cheese with every kind of energy drink chemical init
Possibly related to emerald rank?
i had this one, it's from open beta battlepass
Someone pointed it out before me so don’t give me any credit.
we’ll probably get another vignette with S3 intro. just have to wait it out
This is actually in the game rn
It is a knife skin inspect animation

it's not unreleased. we got it for playing in the open beta.
i didnt
Just wondering, did anybody else notice the hollow crane in the corner on system horizon? I forgot the time, but I was playing and I looked at the corner and there was a white see through crane there
which corner though
there are like million corner in sys horizon
Season 3 new sponsor: Engimo. Can anyone know what type of company?
Looks like Japanese style logo. Probably banking company or culture stuff....
iseul-t sking in circuit s3, finally
How i get into s3 test servers im tryna play☹️
What yall think about the two new sponsors
Guys, I’m really starting to think that the teaser from CNS on the Reddit was to foreshadow them maybe shutting down their remote connection to THE FINALS
Can explain the part where it succeeds in removing them, OR they left themselves and the system just destroyed any traces. But also as we’ve seen in the other vids, there is no backup data for THE FINALS
So maybe all the damage and added stuff cannot be removed/fixed/replaced!
what are the other pages?
Maybe Engimo works on building the levels/structures. There’s a company in Portugal named ENGIMO that does civil engineering
engimo may be a network company judging from the background of the new challenger circuit
theres an OSPUZE contact email on their website, I don't know if anything will happen if you send an email
https://www.ospuze.com/contact
there is no way they recolored the golden oni mask for level 99 😭
I enjoy the game but where's the lore? Season 1 had so much,
Me Too 🫠
yall are you thinking that CNS will make a return?
s4? i dont think they will stay down for long
or the venitties are going to be CNS corrupted
i was thinking about that earlier. i could see them staying down for a couple seasons, but still having easter egg stuff thrown in by them. subtle things that would leave casual players kinda forgetting about them. then BOOM they back

So where does the oversized spoon fit in the lore, this is important
POINT AND LAUGH
Have the functions of dissun and engimo been discussed already

Coolest sponsors we’ve had so far imo
Why did CNS hack the games ngl thats very rude of them to do so
average vaiiya supporter
all my homies hate CNS
yeah why did they hack the game? are they stupid?
they gave us sys horizon and now kyoto map and anime skins so i am happy. also anti grav and gateway
CNS HACKED MY CIRCUIT COMPLETION
AND EVERYONE ELSES
How does this tie into the lore why does CNS want to hinder progress
CNS tryna reveal something about the finals or the game show itself?
i had already completed the whole circuit so hehe
me to🤭
I was going to I swear I procrastinated at the last second 😭
i didnt had to commit to the grind uk
I’m gonna have to now this threw a rock in my wheel for lack of better words but I only have 4 left
what sort of company is X7//AV?
trying it
We don't know anything about them yet
I think there's so much lore and worldbuilding potential for the finals universe 😄 The Finals anime wen?
You can watch Ready Player One. And im pretty sure the death of players in the movie used for inspiration for the death animation in the finals
Ospuze flavors
where is the cheese one? or are they just differently flavored cheese wiz?
Bottom right looks like honey flavor
Which is making me Moore hungry than I like to admit
give me lime 🍋🟩 flavour
- Grape
- Cherry
- Apple
- Classic
- Fresh mint
- Wild berries
- Blueberry
- Honey
wild berries would go crazy ngl
Catch me guzzling that honey ospuze
they better make a cheese wiz version
yall if the "cars" in season 10 are disassemble, id do the car battery meme
It should be an EE that gives you a car battery gun charm.😂

Hello everyone. What time will the season 3 update be released?
Are scotty and June AIs?
tomorrow
look in the top left conter, there is a countdown
it's a common theory
we have no solid proof to back it up, but it's been jokingly teased by Embark a very long time ago
I don't believe it tho, or at least I hope not
That'd be kinda lame tbh, I can get some nebulous AI running the show itself being an AI but scotty and June ALSO being AIs is lame
What does S Lies mean man
Check out the EE chanel
I don’t think they are AI. In context it would be weird if they were because of the banter between them about shutting down The Finals. June says “the AI won’t let you” and Scotty says “we made that thing!” Also Scotty claims to drink Ospuze and seemed to mean it literally
my theory is they were real people who got their minds uploaded into an "AI" to be the hosts of the show
but i havent kept up with the lore much so idk if its still possible or not
Is there a lore reason why we don’t have beards yet, especially when tradition samurai at the time of 1560 had beards as a symbol of their warrior pride?
Unplayable
no its just the devs need to implement it ;-;
👀
I can just imagine buying a beard with multibucks😅 no thanks
I don't even have a beard
If season three is called Reboot Required did the two prior seasons have names?
I believe S2 was called “From CNS, With Love” someone correct me if I’m wrong
worth noting the tagline of ENGIMO
I think the slogan "Can you reach the finals" was also for S1
Integration with newest ChatGPT model?
yes, i added it earlier today when i update the sponsors section
anyone notice this? does dxz just sell sunglasses
Blame the Virtual Architects, they are lately been on a strike as they are not getting their daily crates of Ospuze as Usual
nobody knows...
scotty has been interecepting the deliveries
I’m about to strike until I can get my OSPUZE too. Where’s my lore merch
I would love to own an OZPUSE brand shirt or sweater

nice
Yeah Oscar has one but when are they coming to the public??
OH ELLO AIR
My thoughts exactly
Dxz tech wear cloths company
Man I just want the CNS hoodie 😦



We still don't know what they do, do we?
Maybe its the ai company or smth
Why does the finals have an anime skin now...
oh no did i spoil you
Multi-stage comtract?
I want the season to be a surprise.
sorry
The third contract there has multiple cards
Np
