00:00:00

00:04:58 B.O.G.S.

00:05:17 Ich bin Spyder Tiff, ich werde nicht deine Host für heute sein, aber ich werde einen von den vier Leuten bewerben, auf der Play Apex Channel bringen.

00:05:46 Ich denke. Ich denke, wir werden ihn in bringen. Vielleicht nicht.

00:05:58 We live from Birmingham Airport. The signal is a little bit funny outside. I get it. It's all good. Don't worry. But if you think we're starting this show without that thing hitting the corner, you've got another thing coming. Is that what happened? Everybody who's in the chat right now will agree with me. That never hit the corner. I'm not having that. So if we could get the one that hits the corner, that would be wonderful. We could do that. Anything for you. I could be happy then. My spicy brain will be happy. Here we go. Wait.

00:06:28 In that corner. In that corner. YES!

00:06:37 Okay, because look, I'm so glad that you really wanted to start things off exactly like that. We need to start right. I feel like if that would not have hit the corner, this show was a disaster from the start. So now we can start. I officially allow us to begin. Thank goodness. I'm so glad that you're going to let us do that. Thank you so much, Onset, for bestowing that power on us. I figured you were going to have to call Wig and see if he approved.

00:07:05 dass wir uns hier haben, wenn wir uns hier nicht wissen, was BLGS ist. Wir haben hier ein paar Wochen gelebt, und ich bin sorry, dass das was ihr schon seitdem, weil Apex Legends ist. Wir hatten die Support Meta, aber vielleicht nicht wissen, was BLGS ist, und das ist okay, weil wir unsere Freundin-Friendly-Neighborhood-Greek hier haben, zu erzählen.

00:07:35 What's up, everybody? Greek here, and I'm sure you have some questions about the BLGS, such as, what even is the BLGS, or how does the BLGS work? It all started with our exciting announcement of ALGS champs going to Sapporo, and with that, we found ourselves with a small break in competitive Apex until it's time to go to Japan. So the Apex team reached out to the one person they knew would have some crazy good ideas. No, no, no, not that guy. After getting the okay from the CEO, we decided on the BLGS.

00:08:02 A $400,000 tournament hosted by the B-Stream across all four major regions, each region playing for $100,000 separately. The best part is that it's open to everybody. There are four regional qualifiers, with the winner of each qualifier automatically making it to the regional finals lobby. Once the qualifiers are finished, the remaining teams, ranked by points of course, will join the four winners to make up the 20 teams in the regional finals lobby.

00:08:29 Und jetzt die beste Sache ist, dass es nicht ein Finals Lobby wäre, ohne Matchpoint, Baby. Best of luck to all the teams competing in their first season of BLGS, und viel love from the B-Stream.

00:08:46 Honestly, at this rate, I think Grieg would be a beautiful voice actor because that was an epic rendition of a voiceover material for the Explainer. So I know Gaskin, you got him right there next to you. Slot it in. Good job, mate. Appreciate you. Hype him up. Hype him up. Vicky, do you got something to get out and tell us while you're over there? Sorry, I was going to say, like, I'm vibing in the hot tub. I'm just saying, like, I don't know if that's a green screen. Hashtag not a green screen, I guess, behind you guys. Oh, I just realized you guys have, like, matching backgrounds. The synergy's already there. Okay.

00:09:15 I mean, aside from that, hearing Greek's wonderful voice explain the breakdown for the BLGS, we already saw the action go down in EMEA and seeing what could possibly be ahead of us for NA, I'm just hoping Dan doesn't save 15 games.

00:09:32 Spoiler alert, I'm going to. Because, you know, if EMEA is anything to go by, anything could happen here. It really could. Before we started all this, Mark told me that the games were going to go on long, so I blame Mark, actually. Okay. How am I in the firing line already?

Preispool und Teamvorstellung

00:09:50

00:09:50 This is crazy. Listen, listen, before we dive into the nitty-gritty of everything though, there's a reason why these teams are out here because they're competing for the $100,000 prize pool. First place gets to walk away with $40,000. By the way, you look at that first place prize, look at that second prize prize. That is a $20,000 money match on the line out here and it is match point format today. So I cannot wait to see who our top 10 teams will be taking.

00:10:19 Vielen Dank.

00:10:32 Oh!

00:10:57 Ja, ich denke, ich denke, dass sie wirklich angefangen sind.

00:11:23 The fact that they were only outscored by Alliance just proves that, you know, it wasn't just because of the match point format. They didn't just about scrape a win. They dominated in that final game with a ton of points, a ton of kills, and they are very deserving winners.

00:11:37 der EMEA Regional Finals hier in der BLGS. Ich meine, Allianz wird, leider, 2nd place, aber sie haben einen Show für uns, besonders Hackers mit der Kray, aber es war total. Ich habe jeden Moment von EMEA, aber ich weiß, dass Nordamerika immer auf eine Show wird, also ich bin sicher, wenn nicht besser, als was wir vorher gesehen haben. Ein Bias? Am ich Sensing ein Bias mit Nordamerika? Vielleicht.

00:12:00 Es war EMEA-Bias, aber jetzt live es hier. Es ist ein Klassiker. Es ist ein Klassiker. Es ist ein Klassiker. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias. Es ist ein EMEA-Bias.

00:12:15 It is definitely a benefit. Well, that was Amir, but of course, we have North America now, and yes, I can swing my bias either way, but let's look at the teams that are going to be competing today. If you guys haven't been watching and don't know who has yet qualified, these are the 20 squads that will be dropping onto the maps today to try and become champions.

00:12:36 Wow, würde ich einfach mal sehen? Ihr habt Moist eSports, ihr habt die Qualifier No. 1, Complexity, Winners of Qual No. 2, Team Liquid, Winners of Qual 3, Tripods, Winners of Qual 4. Das ist Stacked! Und ich habe einen tollen Artikel, geschrieben von Tom, über... Wo ist mein Squad? Wo ist mein Squad? Gods Among Men. Er ist wirklich cool, ein guter Interview mit Zig. Ich freue mich zu sehen, die Lone Sharks in action zu sehen. Ich weiß, dass sie sehr gut sind.

00:13:04 Oh, das ist eine gute Frage, ist es? Ich würde sagen... Oh, ich würde sagen...

00:13:31 Ich habe meine Augen auf ihn.

00:13:59 It's a brave call, but I'm just saying. You know what? It's a brave call, but because it's the BLGS, we got to keep things a little bit interesting. And I want to go ahead and talk about Tripods, because as you can see, they're at the top of this list. And I already said they were the winners of Qualifier No. 4. They did two wins during that time, and they have just been looking pretty freaking exceptional. So I want some of y'all to agree with me on this right now. I agree with you.

00:14:27 Das ist ein Team, das ich habe gesehen, um, Griek, gestorben, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge, um, die Beziehungszeuge.

00:14:55 Especially in a meta like this, that is so important to prioritize your comms and to actually make sure your comms are clear when it comes to making some desperate pushes and when to utilize certain bubbles because that could literally be your endgame life right there if you don't use it properly with the cooldown. I want to give a shout out to Jett by the way as well. I know that Wig said that he's been one of the most impressive control players in North America and I have to agree with him. Like his numbers have been up there with the best.

00:15:20 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

Team Liquid, TSM und Faceit Watch

00:15:44

00:15:44 Oh, okay. Well, I think that's a really solid move. Well, let's go ahead and look at Team Liquid, another squad that's been doing pretty freaking impressive here throughout our BLGS. And yeah, like I said earlier, they won Qualifier No. 3. They're pretty scary, right? You got Jaguarez, Nyazul, you bring in Inkurev to play alongside them. And we know that this team has that pop-off potential. We've seen some of the biggest high-kill games out of this roster throughout history. Yeah, I was curious what life would be like.

00:16:13 nicht ohne Janja, aber sie haben wirklich gewonnen. Und ich denke, sie sind sicherlich ein gefährlich in dieser Lobby. Und ich denke, viele Teams werden feariert haben sie gegen sie. Und ich denke, das ist die Schönheit der Nordamerika. Es gibt so viele Teams, die hier heute gewinnen können. Es ist unmöglich zu versuchen, zu predigen. Ich weiß, dass wir uns zurückkehren, als Falcons waren, als alle Teilen von Talent und alle Community-Member in der Welt. Aber jetzt wäre es so schlimm, dass alle Hedden und alle Hedden und alle Hedden.

00:16:43 You split the difference. Everyone has a chance to win this. There's some incredible teams here today.

00:16:52 Wir haben auch TSM, eine andere Team, die alle gerne zu sehen, weil sie eine unglaubliche Fanbase haben. Und wir sehen, wie sie heute werden. Thoughts auf TSM? Sie denken, dass sie eine Chance haben? Vicky? Oh, ich denke so. Aber ich wollte mich ein bisschen Chaotik, bevor Ontett took, was ich zu sehen, was 100 Thieves. Aber wenn man TSM hat, wenn man TSM hat, und man sagt, wie die Zappen hat, die squad organisiert. Ich meine, seitdem bereits die Grandstand,

00:17:22 und die Geschichte zwischen Verholz und Reps. Das ist ein Team mit vielen Fans und vielen Leuten vorhanden. Aber in einem Lobby wie dieses Team ist, es wird wirklich schwierig sein. Das ist die BLDS. Wir haben einen Chaotik Endzonen gesehen. Und mit einem Meta wie dieses Team, ich kann nicht so sehen, wie TSM wird es um das zu arbeiten. Und plus, wir haben Reps auf den Gibb all over wieder.

00:17:46 One of the greatest clips of all time, by the way. The Snipe Down Alien followed by... Everyone forgets Reps went nuclear in that endgame as well on the Gibby. So great to see him back on Gibby. And the thing about TSM as well is they're always there. They're always there or thereabout. In Match Point format, that's what it's all about, right? It's about getting to Match Point. And the majority of the time we've ever seen a TSM line up, whatever iteration of it has been, they always get there. They always get across that Match Point threshold. I think there's only one tournament I can remember where they didn't.

00:18:15 Das gibt es eine Chance. Und sie sind sehr gut in scrims. Sie sind wirklich, wirklich gut. Sie sind sehr gut. So, ich freue mich zu sehen, die Boys spielen heute. Hey, me too. Honestly, ich bin glücklich, dass ich sie sehen. Ich sah meine Timeline ein paar Mal ein paar Mal, es wurde canceled. Und ich war, wo sind meine Scrims? Ich versuche das passieren. N.A., ich freue mich. Ich freue mich. Ich freue mich. Ich freue mich. Ich freue mich.

00:18:33 We got Faceit Watch guys. If you want to watch BLGS your way, you want to host a watch party, you want to channel your inner nice wig and Greek, well then make sure you go lock it in, create an account over on Faceit. You can even get the map stream, which is so sick to be able to watch and kind of track everyone's rotations throughout the way, which I think is one of the biggest, most important things with Faceit Watch is that map stream.

00:18:56 I know a lot of people, when they come to create content for Apex Legends on the competitive side of things, they will really harness the power of Face It Watch to be able to do so. So make sure you control it, you watch it your way, or you hang out with us on the official B stream to the Acer stream of Nice Wig and Greek today. Well, let's take a look at the map schedule. Let's see what we're going to start with today, because we have changed it up a little bit from what you're used to, maybe when you've watched some of the A or GS.

00:19:20 So lots and lots of games to come today.

00:19:49 Show me some drop spots. I want to see some. I thought you were going to say, show me the money. Show me the money. There's some drop spots for you. So we're not going to have the POI draft, obviously. It's just going to be traditional, old school, drop into the map and fight with your fists if you have to. And this is where we're going to be seeing everyone reside here, Tiff.

00:20:08 Maybe we're gonna get some looks like a little contest which it's been so long and finally we kick things off on a Mia to get a couple of those and you can see gods among men locking in for monument and fragment which also be NRG are doing the same thing so I am excited about that one look I've been an NRG fan girl for the dawn of time mostly because

00:20:31 Ja, du kannst es mit mir. Wir können fighten. No, Fun war nicht in meine Top 4 Twitch-Watches für eine bestimmte Sache. Ich würde ein Auge an Thuggett vs. C9, weil ich weiß, dass ich nicht falsch bin. Ich glaube, Cloud9 2-1-Up ist, wenn ich nicht. Das ist ein bisschen was ich gehört, aber ich habe noch nicht gesagt. Ich habe noch nicht gehört, aber ich habe noch nicht gehört.

00:21:01 I mean, of all the POIs to be contested, Landslide is... Landslide. Horrid. We've seen it before. We've seen it before. Are you sure? Because we saw it on LAN, and... I don't know why. It's just a great place, right? They usually get a replicator. You get your things, and you can take really quick rotations.

00:21:20 Okay, like I absolutely hate that people I let's be half a flatline each you have to combine it like a transformer together unite them know enough chaos though, but guys we were locking it in. We're about to kick off this journey Amia went nine I'm gonna do really quick cuz Vicky decided to interject your predictions and so you know she wants to do it for any just give me the number of games that we're going and no Gaskin don't say 15

00:21:49 Okay, I say Furia in... Wait, did you not ask for my Pred? No, it's fine, she's got Furia. We knew she'd give the prediction, we knew it. Anyways, I think it's going to be seven games. Oh, okay. So Furia in seven. No, I take back my Pred because I'm not going to say a team team. We're playing Bingo at this point. I'll give you a prediction as well. I'm going to go.

00:22:19 Falcons in 6. Okay. Lone Sharks in 14. Okay. I just want to let you know that Zero tweeted out 100k BLGS Finals Extremely Washed God Squad vs CC Players. That was his tweet for his going live tweet. Are you stealing good about the Falcons? That's the energy. Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I? Everyone's writing them off. Write them off at your peril.

00:22:49 They come 20th now, by the way. I'm getting so many aggressive DMs from so many people. You really will. You know how that works. Their fans are crazy. So that's fine because I'm not the one casting the first game. It's actually going to be on set in Gaskin. So you can handle all the Falcons fans. Take it away. I got it. I used to do it with the TSM fans. We'll be fine. Don't worry about it. I've got thick skin, Dan. We have to have thick skin in this profession. How are you doing, mate? How was your break to start with?

00:23:16 Ich werde kurz in den ersten Lämmen aus dem Lämmen und ich habe einen Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen. Ich habe einen Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen. Das war ein Lämmen.

Noble fehlt, Favoriten und Underdogs

00:23:39

00:23:39 Es ist almost like an orange. Es ist sehr tasty. Ich bin sicher, dass ich nicht. Anyway, wir sprechen über die Games kommen. Und Noble Name ist eigentlich missing von der Lobby, das ich denke, ist etwas zu reden, weil es gibt eine andere indication. Wir haben ja die B.O.J.S. ist in Open Format. Das Qualifiers, es gibt vier von ihnen. Du hast es versucht, die Numerous Rounds zu kommen. Und es macht uns mit ein paar surprises. Es gab ein paar Teams, die wir auf den B.O.J. sind auf den B.O.J.

00:24:02 Names in the ALGS who almost didn't make it, who made it through to the finals and a couple who fell just short. So it just shows there's a couple of upsets to be had here. Some of those top CC teams that we've seen kind of fighting their way through the CC and into Pro League and putting that effort in being rewarded here with a shot at the best part of $100,000. Yeah, there were four teams who are competing in the ALGS championships that didn't make it into...

00:24:27 Vielen Dank.

00:24:56 Could turn out as regional winners today. Yeah, it's interesting. I want to talk a little bit about what we've seen in the build-up to this as well. Because there's a few teams who have looked very good. Lone Sharks being one of them, by the way. If you are watching this, by the way, and you are part of an esports organization, you need to have a conversation with these three gentlemen. Because, four gentlemen, I should say. Sorry, Raven. I don't want to exclude you from that conversation. Because they have looked so, so good in this meta on the build-up to championships. Now, don't get me wrong. We could see a change in the mayor and things could change. But I just feel like...

00:25:24 This team has been very consistent, which is the first thing you need to check off if you're going to perform well in a lobby like this. But also, they just seem to be getting better and better, which is, of course, what you want to be doing. There seems to be no fall-off at the moment. Yeah, no fall-off right now. And I thought you were going to say, if you're an org, you need to have a conversation with yourself. Like, just go to a mirror and just have a word with yourself about why you're not picking them up.

00:25:46 Das stimmt.

00:26:03 Aber ich kann nicht. Und es ist weil Führer sind diese wirklich gute Skrim-Blocken, die wirklich gut in Qualifizienz sind, aber wenn es zu einer Finals-Lobby wird, ich einfach nicht mehr fühle mich. Und ich weiß nicht, was das Intangible ist. Ich weiß nicht, ob es ein Clutch-Faktor ist. Ich weiß nicht, ob es andere Teams spielen anders, vielleicht die Lobby-Kwalität einfach machen, aber es ist einfach so, dass die Last-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight

00:26:32 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie sich über die Linie verletzten. Ich will, dass sie das verletzten. Ich will, dass sie das verletzten. Ich will, dass sie das verletzten. Ich will, dass sie das verletzten. Und vielleicht ein bisschen hier in BLGS, in den Region Finals, vor allem der Champs, wäre es ein guter Weg zu enden das Gespräch. Madness hat gesagt, dass sie eine Welt-Klasse Teamwork haben. Vielleicht kann das die Unterschiede machen, hier in den BLGS.

00:26:57 Ja, ich glaube mit dir. Ich glaube Vaxelon hat auch schon...

00:27:21 Er ist eine der Stand-Out-Player auf Fury. Ich liebe das, wie er in Newcastle spielt. Ich habe schon gesagt, wie Ommu hat Erfahrung mit dem Team gespielt, aber Vaxelon war das Mann für sie. Und er ist auch stärker und stärker in Newcastle. Er hat diese Wunderfolle Abilität.

00:27:36 Wenn jemand auf seine Team in eine Teamfight zu wissen, ob er sollte, oder ob er das Rez kämpft werden muss, wenn er das Rez kämpft ist, wenn er das Rez kämpft ist, wenn er das Rez kämpft ist, wenn er das Rez kämpft ist, wenn er das Rez kämpft ist, wenn er das Rez kämpft kann. Ich denke, er ist einfach sehr intelligent, wenn es um Newcastle kommt, und er ist ein Standout, wenn es um Legend kommt. Es ist ein wichtiges Legend zu spielen, und mit dieser Meta, wir sahen die Pick Grates in Emiya.

00:28:01 95% of Gibraltar, 92% of Newcastle. You need someone who is confident on these legends because they are so apparent in this meta. Without a good Newcastle, you are going to struggle because someone is going to play Newcastle better and he is one of the key ingredients to success. Yeah, I agree with that. And I think that Furious still have a little bit of work to do to prove that maybe going into the LGS Championships, they're a team to watch as a potential winner. But we're going to keep the conversation moving a little bit here, Dan. We've got plenty to talk about. Let's talk about some of the teams who...

00:28:30 Unterperformed a little bit, but did make it through to the finals and taken a look at the standings and the qualification points and all that good stuff. This is more of a you thing, to be honest with you. Numbers and all that good stuff. All that kind of stuff. Stuff you don't have to worry about. That's why I'm here for you. Never needed numbers in life. I was told I would. Not this far.

00:28:48 Forget those math classes. They didn't matter. They do matter, kids. Stay in school. These are the top four teams. They won the qualifiers, Tripods, Moist Complexity, and Liquid Alienware. But then, of course, we had the teams who qualified just through the points they had accumulated throughout those four qualifiers as well. TSM had the highest points outside of not winning, of course, even though they have more points than anyone.

00:29:09 They still technically come in fifth seed because, you know, they didn't actually win. And now we have a team like Oblivion, for example, who come in 20th. They just scraped through. But think back to EMEA. Danish were in that exact position and they went on to win the regional finals here in BLGS. So anyone can do it. Don't count anyone out. And of course, you have Moist Esports, which is two thirds of the Space Station team that won the split two playoffs in Mannheim, Germany, which feels like a lifetime ago now. Of course, MT is now their IGL complexity.

Aggressivität und Meta-Anpassungen

00:29:39

00:29:39 Ich weiß nicht, dass Mon diese Meta lebt, weil er kommt in und auf Bubbles und schießt die Sniper-Rifle. Und sie haben sich in die Performance zu matchen. Aber ich weiß nicht, man. Ich denke, heute wird es interessant. Ich denke, die ersten paar Spiele werden uns eine gute Indikation haben, wie diese Spiele spielen. Es gibt ein paar Teams in hier, und ich denke, das sind Teams, die ein bisschen aggressiv sind. Ich denke, sie sind ein bisschen aggressiv. Sie sind ein bisschen aggressiv. Sie sind ein bisschen aggressiv.

00:30:01 The pressure, the money, makes people play differently. And all of a sudden those, shall we say, scrim teams, where they like to fight, they're not afraid to try and take a position off, and you're gonna play a little bit differently knowing that if they do fall in that fight, it could cost them thousands of dollars when it comes to the end of play.

00:30:17 Could do well. I'm hearing that the Lobby is going to be starting soon. Just before we get into it, I'm going to be bringing this up as the day goes on. You might have seen in Emiya, we asked a load of the players different kind of questions, like random stuff, like what's their favorite vegetable? What's their favorite smell? You spoke about Monsoon. Fun fact, his toss-up between favorite vegetables, either spinach, broccoli, or watercress.

00:30:38 Weil es so einfach ist, wie es so soft ist, die Texturen ist, wenn es in eine Boiling-Hot-Soup ist. Ich wusste, dass er etwas in Streamy-Foodie zu sagen hat. Mon loves his food. Wir kommen zurück a bit later, aber Lobby ist bereit und die BLGS-North-Amerika-Regionale-Finals ist über die Kick-Off. Let's get into it. Let's talk about some of those teams who struggled a little bit in the build-up. LG, of course, one of those teams had some really, really rough qualifiers as well.

00:31:06 Just over a month, if I'm not mistaken, until the ALGS Championships. A lot of time and a lot of work to be done for them to re-establish themselves as one of the top teams in North America. And like I mentioned, it can all be forgotten about very, very quickly with one tournament. Where $100,000 is on the line, everything is different. No more scrim lobbies, no international scrims, no ping difference, all of that kind of stuff. It's all about playing for the money, playing for the win, and playing to hit match point.

00:31:35 And correct me if I'm wrong, there's going to be a patch before the championships. So if you are good in this current meta, take advantage of it now. I'm in 100k on the line.

00:31:44 You better make sure if you are good, because anything could change going into the championship. You never know. Suddenly the meta that you are finding success in could completely be different once you get to Japan. So time is now. Take advantage, get 40k for first place. We'll have to see who can win match number one. It's going to be World's Edge to kick us off. Remember, we have three different maps in rotation here in BLGS, but we start on the tried and tested World's Edge, and we will start with a contest here at Landslide as well. Thuggets. C9 aren't going there.

00:32:13 We are going out towards Fragment Also look at the killfeed

Frühe Kämpfe und Teamstrategien

00:32:22

00:32:22 TSM in an early engagement. And they have lost Verhulst by the looks of things. Interested to see what the heck is going on there. Yeah, did TSM just get a little bit too overzealous over towards Skyhook? I know that Virtue... Wait, what? Oh yeah, they did. Gottemann Meng dropping over towards Trials and taking out Verhulst, who, of course, TSM spread themselves out. This is what can happen when we don't have POI draft, when you are not restricted to where you can drop.

00:32:48 You can just pull off a little sneaky one like that and TSM are going to be pretty pissed off. They are going to be actually pretty chill because they're not the type of people to get angry. I don't know. I've seen Verhulz without a shirt on. That might have dropped a frick. You never know. For frick's sake. Yeah, it could have been one of those. I think Verhulz changed once he got in shape and, you know, he started posting half-naked photos. He just became a different kind of man. Hey, man.

00:33:13 These people live. TSM are going to be even more angry now because the zone is going skyhook. Oh, gods among men, what have you done? The good thing is for them, having done that and having essentially put TSM on the back foot, they're not going to have to contest it again for a while. TSM are not likely to be contesting where they are on Stormpoint or, you know, on E-District. So this is actually quite smart. Like, why not?

00:33:39 I'm just trying to see where Gods Among Men were scheduled to be dropping in the regular expected positions. Were they even anywhere? I'm looking at the map drops and I can't even see. Oh, they were scheduled to be in Fragment and potentially contesting NRG, so they decided to take a different route and maybe recognizing that you're going to get an easy kill up towards Trials, but TSM will be back up to a full three. It's not the end of the world, but they do lose out on all of that loot.

00:34:08 Ich habe das Gefühl, Verhos hat eine 1-Objektive jetzt. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. 1V-3s sie. 1V-3s sie, während sie in einem B-Line gehen. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line. Er ist einfach ein B-Line.

00:34:32 Even though Verhos has just been respawned, of course, he's going to be playing one of the Controller Legends, which means that he has what we call the fake blue. Being inside of that zone, he's going to have that extra little bit of shield to work with. So all of TSM up to blue, which is essentially what they would have wanted. Not going to have the loop, like you mentioned, all the attachments or, to be honest with you, the priority position they would have loved to have as they had to go out of their way a little bit here to play. But they're still going to have...

00:34:55 ein Priority position in comparison to some of the teams who have to move from the south side. One of those teams is gonna be Lone Sharks. They are over at Staxx and they have quite the journey to make. Quite the journey indeed, but I'm excited to see what happens on their journey because they have been performing excellently. Excuse me earlier, I did say Skittlecakes was on that roster. I think the graphic kind of deceived me there. Alas, here we are. Dropped. Stallions, by the way.

00:35:25 I'll just come off the back of them a monster stream I was hearing by the way a monster stream Okay Now he's locking in for the BLGS regional finals North America edition one Wait, when does part two absolutely destroys his teammate in the back Imagine friendly fires on just

00:35:54 A lot of people trying to get to this northern tip up towards the train station as expected. And if it does pull that way. But of course the cake building that has been so aptly named by only me and probably no one else. It's going to be a big focus point as well. But Gods Among Men. Managed to get that knock on Verhalst if I wasn't mistaken. Although it looks like everyone's back in the lobby. Not sure they've been credit with that point. Maybe we'll find out if that's just a...

00:36:22 An overlay thing, whatever it is. Let's look at Moist. Moist moving, of course, from the climatizer side of things at the moment. Liquid Alienware. I'm going to be taking some shots from them. Of course, Quiffle.

00:36:36 Part of that roster, the Space Station roster that took home the split two playoffs. The controversial change of IGL. I want to give a shout out to Phony, by the way. Traveling all the way across the globe to compete. Find himself a squad. He said, I saw it yesterday, he was a little bit disappointed with the performance. It was yesterday for me. Of his team, not being able to win the BLGS Regional Finals. But, you know, getting yourself a squad for champs. After you've just won the last one, you get dropped. Traveling halfway across the world to do it. Big shout out to you, Phony. A lot of respect for that grind.

00:37:05 Ja, du hast es. Es war kind of verrückt, wenn es passiert, weil du einen LAN gewinnen und dann die Team Dispanns und der Spieler getrennt. Das ist nicht so, dass es in anderen E-Sports jeden Tag ist, als Timothée gets to Jimothée. Monsoon will take him down. Sadly, MonsterThiefs wird dann zu 2. Ja, ich habe CursedThem. Rammbo fällt in, of course, und hat es für den BLGS, aber Jim Burton hat seine Visa veröffentlicht, also er wird in Nordamerika bald, ich denke.

00:37:34 But now the 100 Thieves, they've got to reset. They've got to find a way to get Timmy back into the game. Ooh, Designfall, though. He's going to find that there's some damage, and there's a team in Zone, and Pluto Reality is going to make Designfall Rage, you would imagine.

00:37:51 Das Rambo, das Gibby, hat sich zu versuchen. Und ich sagte das zu Tiff, es ist einfach, dass es etwas nicht so gut ist, über ein Gibby zu retten. Du kannst nicht wirklich deceive jemanden, du kannst nicht Slipp und Slipp und Slipp around. Du kannst einfach nur Brute-Fortieren. Das ist ein ehrliches Typ.

00:38:09 Yeah, I'm here. I'm trying to run, but I know it's not going to go well for me. Happens. Are you even able to hide? Rambo's going to try his best to go unseen here. Just don't breathe too much. Is he going to be alright?

00:38:29 Might be alright. Looks like he's been able to evade them for all my talk about Gibby ratting. If anyone can do it, apparently Rambo can. Well, map overhead here. Everyone heading in towards Skyhook, like we mentioned. Tripods are moving from the countdown side of things at the moment. Everyone looks like you'd think it's going to the north side of Skyhook by the looks of things. Nobody playing the vault side and would be somewhat of a surprise to see it pull back that way. Purple Slushy, by the way, who were the team that we did see take down.

00:38:55 Designed for a former 100 Thieves, they're the team who are furthest away from things at the moment. Shout out to Bullet, by the way. Let him on the desk. Feels like forever ago now. Split 1, wasn't it? Was that Split 1? It was, wasn't it? No, that was LA. No, it was last year. It was Birmingham. Last year, yeah.

00:39:10 Wow, ja, time really has gone by. Great hair, Bullet. Fantastic hair. Great player as well. Great guy. I can't say enough good things about him. Honestly, Bullet! Great guy. Great guy. Top guy. Actually, a lot of the players are. Most of the players. All of the players is what I should say. Most. Drama? Oh, yeah, maybe. They do have third beacon information, as you can see.

Zonenrotationen und Eliminierungen

00:39:39

00:39:39 40 seconds until this zone closes, and it looks like this isn't going to be the area they want to try and force their way through for now. So they're going to reposition. Move towards Grandma's house here. Some shots coming in from distance. Niesel's going to pop a battery instead. It's almost weird to see people popping batteries in this meta. Oblivion out. First scene eliminated from the North America BLGS Regional Finals is going to be Oblivion. It's also weird not to see Yanya on liquid anyway. Yeah.

00:40:09 Das fühlt sich an Ende des Dynasties, obwohl es nicht wirklich... Ich liebe das, das ist die Bullion-Taktik. Das ist wirklich smart. Trouble senden es auf die Tür, Bubble in, One-player-Hold's-Door hat es zu Retreat. Es gibt keine Chance, das gegen Shotguns.

00:40:27 Es ist eine sehr schwierige Methode zu sein, wenn man die große Böge ist, auch wenn man die große Böge ist. Wir haben die große Böge, ich liebe die große Böge. Ich mache das Tick-Tock-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack-Tack

00:40:55 We're going to do it for the region once more. It's always a great story to see the South American teams coming through and putting in performances. In the kill feed you can see that Waltz is getting his first knock of the game. It's going to be Monsoon who fell from complexity. So Falcons getting a little bit active in this lobby. I'm not sure if the full reset did come in there or if they managed to. It looks like they did manage to secure that KP below. Inside of the building now you can see.

00:41:25 A couple of floors already occupied. Team Liquid Alienware with the castle wall down on that third floor. This is a smart floor to control as well because you do have the exit of that balcony.

00:41:37 Die Lone Sharks werden dann unter Team Liquid Alienware. Und dann wird Yanya gegen Team Team-Mate tatsächlich sein. Das ist ein guter Name, ich glaube. Ich glaube, es gibt gute Names, wie ein No-Org-Name. Das ist ein bisschen whatever. Ich liebe Lone Sharks. Das ist cool. Ich liebe es. Die Produktion informiert mich, dass die Schreentime der Schreentime ist, dass ihr Alter und Aktivität ist.

00:42:02 Adults limit screen time outside of work to less than two hours per day. Outside of work, we're good. We're good. Everything counts as work. Purple Slashy in trouble. Enmut. Gonna get that Nog from a distance. Timmy's gonna go down to the ring once again. It looks like 100 Thieves are part two of this battle. But Tripod is just looking at it right now. Somehow they managed to get up to...

00:42:29 Red's in a purple, so maybe a little bit of help from a care package or two for the pods? I think this is smart from the pods, as you put it, to try and pick up some KP, because I think they know their journey is going to be a difficult one once they arrive into zone, because right now it's going to be a relatively easy walk into the southwest side of Skyhook, but they've already seen that this is going to be very troublesome. Once you get a little bit further, they're well aware. Arriving this late to a Skyhook zone.

00:42:57 Troublesome, ich habe nicht Troublesome in einem langen. Oh, sie haben die Mythic Bin, das ist genau das. Sie haben eine Chance für die Weg in. Evac Tower, auch für Gent. So, sie haben die Option hier, sie haben die Option. Purple Sloshee ist auf 1.

00:43:15 Ich bin auf 3. Ich bin auf 3. Oh! Ich bin auf 2. Stallions sind auf 2. Sie sind auf 2. Sie sind auf 2. Sie sind auf 2. Sie sind auf 2. Sie sind auf 2. Sie sind auf 3.

00:43:40 Ich wirklich will das Spiel. Ich fühle mich, es hat sich über die ganze Zeit gespielt. Trifods, zu holen. Big Shot kommen in von Onmut. Er wird mit der Zip-Line geteilt, denn Gent wird das Knochen und jetzt auf der Flank nicht mehr tun, denn Deeds machte die Arbeit. Stallion ist eliminiert, 2nd Team in der Lobby.

00:43:59 Tripods are able to reset quick enough. 100 Thieves are not going to be fast enough to try and get involved in that one. And they'd be pretty silly to even try, especially in a support meta where everyone's going to be back on their feet very quickly. Now Purple Slushie are going to try and go over rather than through, but they have arrived and sadly lost one on their way. Do you find a building to play, though? Unfortunately, the difficulty is when the Newcastle goes down, you can't drag that player back to their feet.

00:44:26 So Bullitt instead, we're gonna have to use the Gibby ult, but look at the building where the zone is gonna be going. They are gonna be safe by the looks of things. Although they will have to move north a little bit later on. TSM in prime position though. TSM's building will be in for this next zone as well as one we currently see.

00:44:43 Und der nächste Zone, der Final Zone, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh.

00:45:13 The Hardy Boys music started, they were in there. Speaking of it in there, tripods! They're getting right in there, son. Prager in their hands, I'll move it. Go on, son. BP trying to hold market at the moment. Since you're going to wait for the bubbles to disappear. Once the bubbles are gone, the gloves are off.

00:45:36 Es ist immer so schwer, wenn du hier unten und du siehst, nicht in der Kampf und du sagst, ach.

00:46:04 Maybe I went down a little bit too soon there. Or, on the flip side, you might think, where were my teammates? It really is a perspective thing. Zero. His gun's sticking out, though. Zipper down. Falcon's looking to third party, this. Player checking the corners here.

00:46:28 Sie werden sie sicher sind. 100 Thieves sind noch alive! Und sie bekommen ihre Revenge! Sie bekommen ihre Revenge auf den Purple Slushie und sie bekommen sie.

00:46:39 Es ist wie eine solche Dinge, wo man, wie man, man muss für die Hände, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss,

00:47:07 Zagmazer ist jetzt auf seine Hände zu spielen. Er hat einen großen Schatz zu spielen. Er hat den Knocks-Out! Er hat 108, aber es ist nicht genug. PontoGon vs. Pro High Eliminate es auch. Der C9 versucht, um sich zu verabschieden. Das könnte ein Bignade sein. Das ist ein Bignade. Das ist ein Bignade. Das ist ein Bignade. Das ist ein Bignade. Managingen zu gehen. Und Sourcerer ist jetzt schon etwas reales Dammage. Er ist jetzt able zu leaden die Charge. Und Cloud9 wirklich will man das K.P.

00:47:32 35 seconds left on this zone, they know that they want to clean these up as quickly as possible. Shubi's going to find another one as well. Last Paralife should be dealt with behind the Nongdown and will be. Purple Slush Eliminated Complexy have gone as well as we find ourselves with 13 squads. X9 now trying to hold off the third party. Sorceroy is chunking. X9, LG and 100 Thieves all here and Cloudknife somehow back against the wall, back against the bubble are able to hold off LG right now and pick up KP.

00:47:57 Und sie hat 100 Thieves gewonnen, glaube ich. So Cloud9 sollte etwas re-setzen, aber es wird ein schwieriger Rotation sein, als sie noch fighten sind. 100 Thieves ist in der meantime. Es ist Shubi, der sich noch eine Kille bekommt. Und all of a sudden, Shubi findet sich auf vier Kills und seine Kille ist in der Lobby. So, das war ein bisschen der push und ein bisschen der Halt von C9, aber jetzt müssen sie weitergehen. Als wir über die Leute gehen, das Triple Tower zu lassen, bauen die Cake, wie wir so sagen.

00:48:27 What a C9 got in this Rotate. Team on the top. Team on the top of the cake building might be able to take that crate that you were speaking of, but you are also going to be quite vulnerable from the likes of TSM, who should have a good angle on you as well. Wraith Portal might come into the equation here as well for Stay Naughty. Cloud9 could reposition, but the wall is also... Sorry, yeah, that was weird. That was really weird. That looked like a Wraith. My bad. It's just going to be a Catalyst wall instead. No Wraith. Ignore me. Happy to.

Intensive Kämpfe und Eliminierungen in den späten Spielphasen

00:48:56

00:48:56 Schubi will find one. Naughty tries to get back into this fight. They want to try and clean up everybody who's going to be fighting on the outside of that cake building. And they're doing a pretty damn good job of it. NRG eliminated. There's more KP here. Five now for Schubi. I mean, this is just insane. Damage everywhere. Shotguns everywhere. Every single place you move, there seems to be bullets flying in from every direction. Thugits are going to be able to...

00:49:25 Take that fight and we'll survive. Bubbles go down on all those teams that are on the edge at the moment. Thuggets now get eliminated, even though they had some success. Falcons are still alive here on this western side, just above them. TSM, there is a Kraber in the hands of Zero. Two bullets leave no witness, they are gone. Six squads now remain.

00:49:44 Schatz kommen in mit der Triple Take. TG5 muss man sich vorsichtig sein. Schatz kommen in von der PK, aber es ist leider für ihn, er wird auf seine Schraube sein. Und es wird der Ende des Endes sein. Indeed, Gods Among Men sind Eliminatet und Virtua will in der Kampf sein.

00:49:58 We're down to just five squads now. There's gonna be a little bit of a lull. Liquid Alienware are kinda stuck in the middle of everything, but that might not be the worst thing. They're gonna be the closest team to actually move on in. Furia are trying to just move on up as well with that shield. Avoid the damage from Virtue. TSM and Falcons are both gonna have to move in from this western side at the same time. Oh, and there are Krabas that can make a big difference here. One thing that's always interesting in this particular metal about the Krabai is...

00:50:26 Ich will nur die Gibby. Gibby Gunschild kann auch viel zu tun, aber das Nade durch die Krack kann. Aber Verhos ist nicht möglich. Die Dispacorte sind hier für TSM. Sie hatten zu reseten am Anfang dieser Spiel. Sie haben nur auf die Blu-Shield, aber Verhos hat sich nur auf die Blu-Shield getötet. Es sind Falcons, die hier müssen. Und auch mit zwei Reds und einem Purple sind die Zone geschlossen.

00:50:48 Team Liquid currently being bombarded, everyone throwing everything when they see the gibbie bubble had gone down, but they are gonna survive, they are gonna be okay. Furious starting to push up and get closer as well.

00:51:00 Team Liquid will get one. Nia is always going to find it. Fury, though, trying to survive here. But here comes Falcons. Four squads remaining. Furia will go down. Falcons are going to clean up the last pieces of this bubble fight. Hau is going to fly in front at zero. Was he going to follow him up and get the knock himself? Furia will go as Falcons now take almost center zone here and are looking on two other squads who are fighting. This might be a Falcons game.

00:51:21 This could be a Falcons versus TSM ending, by the way, unless anyone else has something to say about it. But Falcons looking very strong. TSM eliminated. It's Liquid Alienware, the last remaining team. 3v3v3. Kravishot doesn't hit, but it doesn't matter because Falcons will win it and take game number one here in the BLGS North American Regional Finals. And as Zero said, washed team turns up on plays in tournament. They're looking pretty good in game number one. I mean...

00:51:49 I think Falcons fans are going to be delighted to see them start with a little bit of momentum. I feel like one of the things that lets down Falcons sometimes is that expectation. And when they're not doing well, that probably gets in their head a little bit of, we should be winning. You know, we are the God Squad, yada, yada, yada. But to start off with a victory is going to do wonders for their confidence. And they are a team that could just absolutely steamroll after a victory. Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time we've seen that, right? We've seen the monster, monster performances in Pro League.

Falcons Triumph und die Bedeutung des Momentum

00:52:17

00:52:17 Tournaments haben nicht perfekt für sie so far. Sie haben nicht das Wien, das sie so sehr für. Aber vielleicht etwas wie das, wie du gesagt hast, eine Game No. 1, eine Momentum-Game No. 1, wo sie haben Kills, sie haben gut Teamfighter und natürlich, sie bekommen die Victory. Das ist es so, wie Falcons. Das ist das sie, was sie erwähnt. Und vielleicht haben sie die Schrimm-Performanz, die Bad-Performanzer in Qualifiers, Missing Out of Finals, all das gute Sachen, das geht nicht. Wenn du zu der Finale getest, und du in eine Performance wie das.

00:52:40 I think TSM will be pretty happy with the top three, especially after losing Verhof so early, but being able to get back up, find a good position, and then work their way through from there. Yes, they didn't get many kills alongside it, but, you know, it's still a consistent amount of points. It was Falcons who take all of the headlines, take all of the plaudits, 10 kills, 22 points, and they are already on their way towards that 50-point threshold. But we saw that in EMEA. We saw a team put up 25 to start, and then they drop off and didn't really turn up again until match six. So Falcons need to use this momentum for sure.

00:53:09 Ja, sehr impressive von Falcons. Wir müssen jetzt in die Verwärterung sein. Wir müssen jetzt nicht aufhören, um es zu gehen. Liquid Alienware, wie du schon erwähnt, ist es ein Team zu sehen. Sie hat eine gute Game 1 zu sehen. Auf der anderen Seite, Oblivion geht es schnell. Stallions geht es schnell, also. Ich glaube, sie sind sehr froh. Ich glaube, ich bin nicht sicher, was passiert. Aber sie hat eine gute Zeit.

00:53:31 für die Zone early. Lone Sharks, vielleicht die surprise, so to speak, von der Lobby, mit wie sie performan sind. Aber natürlich, Game No. 1, viel mehr zu geben hier in den BLGS-NR-Finals, so nicht so weit weg von dem du siehst. Und du warst über Leave-No-Witness, als auch. Sie hatten 8-Kill-Points in der Ende. 8-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P-A-P

00:53:57 First, second and third, Falcons Liquid Alienware TSM. Three big hitters, three potential winners here in Regional Finals already. We're seeing some of the big teams up there. Certainly are indeed. And you can see just from some of the damage stats, like the type of game that the teams had to play. Like TSM were very position heavy. They had a really good spot in zone. They didn't have to do too much. And you can see from the damage output, they were...

00:54:18 Essentially, not really able to put out because of the position they had and where everyone else was the other side of the zone. Only blue shields when they're arriving into those final moments until Verhoz got on purple, of course. Makes that end zone a little bit more difficult. But like you say, after what happened at the start of the game, I think they'll be pretty happy with how it ended. So a very interesting game number one here. When we get back from this quick break, though, game number two is around the corner and it's time to head to Storm Point.

Falcons' starker Start und Ausblick auf Storm Point

00:56:25

00:56:25 Game number one out here for Falcons, taking the dub and already setting themselves up out here with what? Closing it in, knowing that they need 50 points to get match point already. And that's a great way for them to start things off, especially in a Skyhook end zone. But we don't have World's Edge this time around. Tiff, I'm happy to be on the mic with you, and I'm happy to take you guys through our next game. Hey, it's going to be sick. I had a lot of people over the course of the past couple of months that are like, yo, when are you going to cast with Vicky? Like, when is that happening?

00:56:53 Uh, well, it got to happen earlier today to Mia, and it's happening again right now, and what is happening behind you? Like, what is happening? Those eyes are, like, piercing through my soul, bro. That's him right now after winning that first game. Let me tell you. I'll put down some mad damage. Waltzy with the perfect follow-ups and closing up the KP that they needed.

00:57:13 Honestly, don't ask me how we have these, okay? Like, we were just prepared for the chaos that the BRGS was gonna bring. No. Because I feel like it has to match the same type of energy that I know we all feel when we play Apex and seeing end zones that we have right now in this current meta. Actually, let's go take a look at some match rewinds right now because this is exactly what I'm talking about. You have bombardment on one corner, bombardment on another corner, then you have five different giving bubbles coming up, and then you have a great angle from Zero that were cleared over from that back side.

00:57:42 Und jetzt haben wir einen Krawler, einen Krawler, einen Krawler, einen Krawler, einen Krawler.

00:58:04 I knew when we had, it was like 100% pick rate there for Gibby and Newcastle equivalently. So we know what the endgame is going to look like. Multiple bubbles, multiple mobile shields, and like, you know, on set set earlier, maybe a Falcon's dub. Maybe, and they were able to get it. That's exactly how you want to start things off here for a team that call themselves Washed. Now going on to game number two, Stormpoint. Can they keep that consistency? Maybe. That'd be cool.

00:58:34 Ich hoffe, für ihre Sache, ich glaube. Aber für alle anderen in der Lobby, die wünschen sich eine Chance zu gewinnen, vielleicht nicht. Vielleicht sehen wir etwas ein bisschen anders hier in Nordamerika. Ich meine, wir waren die Distance in EMEA. Wir waren zu 9. Und so, die Sache ist, wir sahen E-District viermalen, oder fast viermalen. Und seitdem wir es in der Rotation haben, natürlich müssen wir da sein, für die 3 und 4-malen Matches 3 und 4-malen. Aber, oh, unsere Lieblingsfamilier-Maps.

00:59:02 Hey, I'm happy, but also we had a lot of fun talking about E-District and what this dark map brings to the table when it comes to certain teams having to prioritize their rotates. You've been seeing that pathy, so that way you could be able to go for these safer rotates. But moving on to Storm Point, you have that high to low ground disparity. We saw some early 50-50s coming out already for that first game. I'm expecting maybe getting a few crumbs of that going into Storm Point.

00:59:32 Yeah, I love that you're so festive for the holiday season, but I'm also equally confused at what the heck is going on behind you. Like, I feel like, yeah, you might as well just zoom in on that. Now I feel like my entire life is being judged. I told you Hal's eyes were like searing through my soul, but like there is an ear and now there's just a disappointed Raven face. Just casually disappointed in everything that we're doing with our life right now. I mean, I don't, I would be disappointed too. Lone Sharks fell on 18th for that first game, but that was just the first game, you know, the knowledge. It's true.

01:00:00 Input, in fairness, Raven breaks the table. You know, he's watching from a distance. I know he's giving them their support. But Storm Point is where we saw some teams in EMEA, XL. We saw a lot of consistent wins for certain teams. I'm thinking about Forbidden in this case. Now I'm expecting something very similar looking at our NA teams here.

01:00:20 Let's get started, especially after that first game alone. I love Stormpoint End Circles. Sorry, not Stormpoint, Skyhook End Circles, because there's a lot of buildings to coexist in. Yes, actually very similar to what we have seen for a lot of these End Zones for E-District. Meanwhile, though, for Stormpoint, we did see a few Jurassic End Zones. So, questioning what that's going to influence going into this Stormpoint game here for an A.

01:00:48 I don't know what we're gonna get because we had some like hijinks happening on Stormpoint in Emiya, right? Like we had the Natsuki Aurora Trident whole backstory. It was a side quest. I don't know what was happening. But for here, Cenote Cave looks like we could potentially see a contest between Complexity and 100 Thieves. And then over at Checkpoint, Purple, Flushy, and C9. So will that...

01:01:11 Ich weiß, was das eigentlich passiert? Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß, was ich mit dir ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen.

Ankündigungen und Strategieüberlegungen für Storm Point

01:01:36

01:01:36 I'm going back home. I went to Birmingham like a year ago and I've been here ever since. Someone tagged me on the timeline, Vicky, and they're like, bruv, are you at the, whatever that accent is, are you at the Birmingham airport? And I was like, little do you know that the ALGS is going to Birmingham three times next year. What do you think we got after potentially going to Japan for champs? We are going back to Birmingham, baby. It's all we've got. Yeah, we are.

01:02:01 I'm leaking these things right now. Me sweating a little bit when we're talking about Japan earlier. I know Dan had said it, but I also, like, when he asked, like, wait, wait, we can talk about Japan, right? And he's like, one of those, like, you gotta, like, catch yourself just in case you don't leak anything. And here comes Tiff leaking the script for next year, talking about Birmingham. I know that you are very excited to go back, aren't you, Tiff? It was my favorite place.

01:02:25 Yeah, I loved it so much. Actually, it was cool. The venue was super nice. We had a fun time. It was cool. But instead, you guys get to go to Sapporo. There's like a Winter Festival. You get Nessie Bucket Hats. Cool stuff. It's gonna be great. And that's why I'm seeing the kickoff from the BLGS while we wait to see what...

01:02:44 Das war's für uns.

01:03:13 I would do it. You know I would. That's why you don't play with me. Because I would be the one that would be like, you know, I could totally make this work. Misses completely. No, hear me out. I was lurking in the lobby chat to kind of see what was going on since we had that reset. I see, knock, no console. Thanks, TSM. Zach Mazur, same. Worst dropship for us and no console. That was huge. Well, good thing they're getting a reset. So maybe we can see some awesome games out of them.

01:03:39 All planned, all planned. No, it's gonna work out for them. Let's take a look at the drop spots for Stormpoint. While we get everything set up, thank you guys so much for your patience. Getting quick to the lobby restart and then looking at what we have in store for us. I was anticipating some crumbs of a 50-50 and it looks like we do get two potential 50-50s happening over here in Stormpoint.

01:03:58 Potentially, but we saw what happened on World's Edge. Gods Among Men was just like, what's a contested monument or frag? We're going to Skyhook West. So where are those guys? They're going to the Forbidden Zone, okay? So over towards Jurassic, which means, where's TSM? Where are they? Because they could just go completely land over at Launchpad. If that happens...

01:04:19 Dann vielleicht sind sie wirklich die Gods Among Men, aber wenn wir das Complexity Cloud9 Contest, oder nicht das Contest mit Complexity, es ist Purple Slush in Cloud9 Contesting, 100T und Complexity in Cenote. Ja, das sind zwei unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, für ein Potenzial Third Parties, das wir können in den Early-Games zu erwarten sehen, kann ich sehen, wie das wird.

01:04:44 Especially since, like we already mentioned, and like it's obvious with the different qualifiers, having like four different winners, you can't really do those POI drafts. But that also means that you don't have to stick with where you're going to be landing. If you want to try to grief one of the players, like we saw in the very early part with Verhulz, unfortunately, when he was called out over by SkyWest, you could see something very similar here, too.

01:05:03 Das ist okay, wir haben die Verholz... Das ist nicht nur die Verholz-Präer. TSM-Tweeted-out-the-BLJS-Präer. Hatte du eine Chance-to-witness-that-Vicky-while-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we-we

01:05:31 On World's Edge, as it is in E-District, give us this day our daily Zap Clutch. And forgive us our Int Place. And we forgive those who suffer the Gibby Newcastle meta, which is all of us. Unless you're in Ranked, then it's Lifeline. Good luck. And lead us into late, not into late rotations, but deliver us a TSM win. T.S. Amen. T.S. Amen. This literally reads as a copy pasta, like slammed all over my face.

01:06:03 Moment Chat, you're welcome. So let's go ahead. That lobby is starting. We're going to hit the character selection super soon and then we'll figure out what legends our players are going to pick again. And it's probably going to be Gibby. It's probably going to be Newcastle. Let's be real.

01:06:15 I mean, was it 100% pick rate for both Gibby and Newcastle? I'm not surprised. We've been seeing the influence of some teams trying out the Valkyrie rotates, some teams trying out the Pathy. We saw some creativity coming out from EMEA with two different ramparts. Obviously, when G-Dolphins in the lobby, you could...

01:06:33 Probably expect that for some maps. And then the Mad Maggie to try to counter what we've been seeing between the Newcastle barrier as well as the Gibby Dome with the drill that you could put through the bubbles. So it's been interesting to see how different teams have been trying to take advantage of their strengths.

01:06:51 Even if it goes against what we've been seeing already with the Meta Solified for a lot of these different regions. Because you have to get a little creative, right? Even the Bangalore coming in, in between you using Smoke through Pathy's Zip Line, so that way you can be safe and not burn Bubble. I mean, we've even seen teams not even running a Newcastle in EMEA. This time around, everyone feels very comfortable with that Newcastle. But it just depends on how you want to prioritize some of these rotates too, I feel like.

01:07:16 Oh, yeah, I'm looking at it right now. I see a lot of gibbys, a lot of new castles. And then we've got a rogue rampart there with Niazul over there on Liquid. But everyone else, it kind of went Catalyst, Pathfinder, Valk from most to least, thanks to production for that stat. Because we did have a ton of Catalyst, because why not? Why not split the lobby at the end, like Moses Party in the Sea or whatever, if we're on the prayer thing?

01:07:42 Die Katastrophe, die Katastrophe, die Katastrophe, die Katastrophe, die Katastrophe, die Katastrophe.

01:08:12 GeoGuessr thing for guess the place of the map. I was not good at that, man. I was not good at that. You're not good at it. Didn't I lose? Oh, Macha disagrees, actually. Sorry. Macha was like, bro, you won. What do you mean? Don't let Storm hear that. She'll come flying on in. Wait, are we getting a contest? Are we getting it? Is it happening? We're in checkpoint. Purple Slushie on the ground?

01:08:36 Oh my god, you know, anytime you can contest or like hot drop, the last thing I find is an R301. That thing is like coveted right now. It may not hit super hard like the flatline, but it's consistent, you know? It's like all reliable. I was gonna say, I love being able to find that flatline off the rip too, but I also have my guilty pleasure with the L-Star when it comes to vanilla weapons off the ground. That L-Star makes your eyes water when nobody has attachments. But Saucer taking a lot of damage here.

01:09:04 Ja, eigentlich, he knows the truth. He knows, he knows. He's the one that stands by the L-Star for the time being. And you know who was hitting missiles earlier? Shubi. Oh, yeah. Shubi was. Wait a second. He's on Horizon for Stormlight? What is this? Oh, and Lifeline, by the way. Oh, my God. Well, you know what? Lifeline, Naughty, go Rez Sauce. Go get him. Your team's falling apart. Go be it. Wait, hit these. Oh, my God.

01:09:32 Das war Twinkletoes. Das Katte war dann mit Pluto mit dem Clutch. Und er war ein Schatz, auch? Kannst du eine Lifeline für einen Contest und wir noch sterben?

01:09:44 We still die? Like that? The Horizon Lifeline 50-50. I just can't believe it. Just completely breaking apart off the rip. A for effort, I guess, as we take a look at complexity. This is the other 50-50 that we were interested in seeing. Oh, well. Oh, enemy. That happened. But you know what? Monsoon has a charged-up sentinel. So I don't care that we've got enemy on the ground.

01:10:10 He's getting res. It's totally fine. But here comes Timmy Design and Rambo. And Rambo's on a Lifeline. So this is another thing here. If we're going to throw Lifeline Horizon for the contest back again, things are going to get chaotic. It's so chaotic that my V-Mix couldn't even keep up at this point, though. They are going to be able to get this res for now. But this is why you're seeing these Lifelines when it comes to the 50-50. It helps with the quick reset. It helps putting some pressure here as Rambo gets the last member complexity out of here.

01:10:37 He's upgraded, man. All right, let's freaking go. I love my Wifeline. You know what? When used properly, Wifeline is one of the best players. Now that you have to glide the passive, you just all fly around, a little hover. We are going to the northwest. I just want to make that very clear. Now, if you think about Cloud9 losing that contestant checkpoint, how badly this hurts.

01:10:58 Actual physical pain. And with you having, obviously, the Evil Harvester on the side, the survey that we have in every POY, but also having the potential high ground to gatekeep teams that may want to try to rotate here from your northern direction. You can see NRG Stallions also making their way out here, too. Those two buildings that are usually north side of Checkpoint, though, get contested very quickly, which you can already see Moist is already wrapping around that survey beacon building. It looks like they may have been...

01:11:25 Either on a trident or so, they are getting hit by NRG, but so many other teams are so quick right now with trying to rotate over to that north side. You know what I think about it, because Gods Among Men are like just lurking in the center of this next circle here. They didn't do any shenanigans. They didn't try to go for Verhulst. And I don't blame them this time, because I feel like Verhulst would enact some punishment, and it just seems to be a little sketchy. Like, you just don't mess with them. I mean, you hear what Gaskin had to say.

01:11:52 I was gonna say, Onset Gaskin saying that he was just like running a straight line. He's angry. Just like full send, just eat the bullets and like slow-mo. I can picture it. Next thing you know, the Verhulst brothers are gonna be like putting a whole video together for this. Making them the next like action movie star. Like there's no longer The Rock in like the 27th Fast and the Furious movie. It is 100% Verhulst.

01:12:16 Aber wenn The Rock war ein Charakter in Apex war, würde er absolut haben zu spielen Gibby. Es ist gar nicht wahr. Especially mit dem Wicker in Meadow. Sind wir Fan-Casting die Apex Legends-Movie?

01:12:29 Es ist eigentlich perfekt, ich denke. Ich würde es nicht mehr auf den anderen zu denken, aber ich würde auch nicht mehr auf Verholz'e Bedeutung hier zu kommen, was wir hier machen, was wir hier machen. Wir sehen uns jetzt mehr Teams jetzt über die Trenches und RG. Also haben wir die Informationen auf den nächsten Rang. Das ist was das Meta macht euch zu allen. Ihr wisst, wie Noc noch nur für ein Jahr und ein Jahr. Oh, ja. Jetzt ist Gibby, bro. Und er ist in den Trenches.

01:12:57 But I like this squad. I said it. I didn't need a reason to be a fan of NRG. I always said back in the day when they were competing under XED and I was just like, yeah, it's not a matter of when Nock and them are going to win. And then Nock and I had like a one hour interview at one of the lands that was condensed down to like two minutes. Dude trolled me the whole time and told me I had no friends. So like, and I'm still a fan. I'm still a supporter. That sounds like Nock, honestly, especially when I finally get to catch him and when he tries to run away and I make him look at all the clips that I have for the season.

01:13:29 Alright, well, brief look at Falcon. Not sure if it's actually moving or anything, but you know, I have, I have like, like they're bunkered up, right? Like if you're gonna bunker up on the north side of things, this is the way to do it. But a lot of our teams are hedging the bets that it is going to pull out of checkpoint into north pad. So we've seen them be wrong on E-District before, but since this is like a tried and true storm point map, I'm gonna go ahead and hedge my bets that they have made the right call, that we are going to the north.

01:13:57 To fight against, not just the north, but beyond the wall, I guess, at this point, because I got some Apex ASMR with a black screen, so I can only imagine with a nice singing song of the triple take, holding perhaps maybe a high ground here, looking at the teams that wanted to rotate over by north. Again, really got much going on here for me to see, but I can only imagine just listening to the guns.

01:14:22 In slow-mo? No, hear me out, Vicky. When we opened the show and I was like a deadpan, all I could think about was this like Chihuahua meme that I saw and it was like the horrors persist, but so do I. And that's how I'm approaching this right now with the BLGS. I just think about the Chihuahua that has its eyes open really wide and it's like everything is going wrong. He's like freaking out. No, it's me right now for real. Me and Macha on the same page, even though Macha's not a Chihuahua, but let's pretend for a second. So anyways, you get a map view here. It's super sick. You got 100 Thieves rotating.

01:14:52 Vertispro, ich denke, sie sind in der Mitte. Und kongratuliere zu all die Teams, die es geht. Hey, da wir gehen. Also bedeutet, wenn die Circle, die ich erwarte es, wird es vielleicht zurück, wo Falcons ist, oder Oblivion, auf der wirklich große Block, die man sieht, dass ein Heglitsch zu schnappen. Das wird Chaos für die Teams, die zu gehen.

01:15:19 Oh, Zack, hier wir wieder. Wir haben einen Fight for Limit Nummer 1, und ich möchte diesen zu gehen besser. Ich habe das Interview mit Tom gesprochen, als er in Godz Among Men interviewt für Dig. Ich dachte, er looked wie ein Young Lu. Ich wirklich, und ich habe mich für einen Moment gefragt. Oh, wow. Aber das ist wirklich... Ja.

01:15:36 Because I'm sorry, it's doing the slow-mo thing again here too, but hey, they are able to clean up too. You think? I see Rambo down and out. I got it in the kill feed. I didn't see it actually happen. Or was that one right there too? I did see that Zach was able to maybe get that enough. Maybe they get that finisher right there too. Be back in this. Oh, it's just spiders. It's fine. I was worried for a second. I was like, oh, we in it? Okay. The fact that I don't see anything, I just hear the spiders like...

01:16:04 Okay, Vicky, we got this. We're in this together. There's an energized zip. I want to let you know we're on tripods right now. And they're doing it. They're on it. And we're being shot at from afar. And I think it's because we were pushing towards the choke to LG. So it wasn't just spiders. There was action happening. And now the tripods have retreated. They are scared and they're valuing their life, which is respectable. This is a fine decision to make.

01:16:30 Wait, we gotta work around? Alright, Tripods. I could see. I could fight. Finally. And Liquid Alienware coming out of a Trident, coming out of using that dome. Can we talk about this current setup that we have, though, from Liquid? They got the Rampart that we were highlighting prior. How good Rampart is at the moment on destroying that Newcastle barrier. Now that you can destroy it, I believe it has 750 total health. Hagwadis being on that Gibby.

01:17:00 Und sie selbst haben das Newcastle-Wall, auch. So, wir arbeiten über die Terrain, auf der Nägseln, die sie able zu scannten.

01:17:08 All right, cool. Nice rock there. All right, so cool. As long as everyone's moving towards the north and just kind of finding their spots, we've shifted over towards the left just a little bit, which is going to make things difficult, especially with Virtus.pro trying to come out from the downed beast side of things. They've already spotted out the team that was on the rock, and, well, we know we saw rotates like this early on, and we've navigated the trident very closely throughout, but the rampart wall is going down quickly because look at all the nades being thrown.

01:17:37 The Nades, the Rogue Trident, that's lodged in between both sides of the trenches. Everyone's shooting at Liquid. You hear the Newcastle Barrier getting shot at. A Nade right behind them. Liquid are literally going through it right now. Dip and dodging in between two different teams, only playing from behind the pillbox here, too. Maybe he's trying to see if they can try to put this Trident right on top of them. Ooh, I like this. Some makeshift cover here. Look, you gotta work with what you got.

01:18:03 They're definitely doing the best they can. Get the New Castle Wall, the Trident. They're making a home. Look, we'll give you a house, but you gotta make it a home. And they're doing exactly that. Missile Swarm's incoming. They're being fractured from multiple times. The fact that we're alive right now says a lot. I'm in danger. I don't feel comfortable with this, genuinely. We have NRG and Virtue just staring at us right now.

01:18:33 You can't really move from here, but with the Sheila coming to play, puts in some pressure, buys them some time and space. Whoever's got that triple take on the high ground, you know that Liquid's like, all right, Virtue. Like, actually, Griefers out here who are just continuously farming the damage that they need to boost up those evil shields. You can see where this next zone's pulling, too, by the way, with Falcon still inside of that dome building over to the north side of the evil Harvester. Furia, though.

01:19:00 Much less contestant playing on the edge of the zone from the north side. That's a little bit out of the open with the rocks that they could use for some natural cover.

TSM's Ausscheiden und Virtus.pro's Sieg

01:19:11

01:19:11 I'm just looking to see what the tripods are going to do. They're having some difficulty here. We saw them kind of retreating and trying to take a different angle. Now we've made it all the way over towards the down B side of things where we're meeting resistance. But with only 30 or so seconds left before that circle starts to close, we have to commit to a decision. And a lot of that's going to rely on Onmoo right here connecting some sentinel shots straight on to Virtus. Oh, putting down the new castle wall revs.

01:19:36 Was in a lot of trouble here. They lose out on two here. Now, Royce move in. They find the opportunity with Rebs. Now, down and out. The Newcastle gets taken out following right afterwards, and TSM get eliminated. They were in a very tough spot. There was another team also on the other side of them that was also shooting at them. Did I curse them by chanting the TSM prayer? Did I curse them? I feel like they're just going to come up with a new... Oh, by the way, we totally know that has to be Monsoon, right?

01:20:05 Das hat sich nicht, eigentlich. Das ist der Havok-Single-Fire. Ich würde sagen, wenn ich einen Beam aus dem Feld sehe, dass es Monsoon zu viel Spaß mit der Charge Rifle ist. In diesem Fall, der Havok-Single-Shot ist. Aber es ist definitiv nicht das. Das sind die Gods Amongst-Men, die haben die High-Ground. Und ich liebe die Split-Positionen, weil sie auch an Thuggetts sind, die auf der anderen Seite der Checkpoint. Aber Tripods haben zu vollkommen. Sie haben diese Zip-Line, und sie gehen all den Weg.

01:20:31 Ich meine, wir müssen uns damit, richtig? Das ist der 3d try zu versuchen, das zu durchführen. Und Checkpoint ist nicht der easiest choice zu machen, ich sage Ihnen. Aber ich liebe die Call und ich liebe das, dass wir vollständig mit der Energizei-Zipline sind. Aber hier auf der Low-Ground enthält, dass jeder, insbesondere Gods Among Men, wird das High-Ground werden. Wir sehen uns 100 Thieves. Wir haben die Thuggetts, die ich wirklich nicht dachte, dass ich das Name sehr viel sagen kann, aber Thuggetts. Ich liebe das Team Name.

01:20:57 Ich habe schon die besten Team Names in Apex. Ich werde nicht vergessen. Ich habe einen Shoutout. Ich war nicht nur das, aber Uwu-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh

01:21:16 No, not like that. Oh, okay, sorry, my bad. Oh, no! Not only was it the bubble fight, they put down the catwall to isolate themselves, and Virtus, after griefing the teams in front of them with the triple take, they now fully sent it onto Furya. Who thought they could stay safe here? Dang it, NRG fell as well. Look, I'm not gonna be, I'm not saying I'm a fan of anyone right now. You know what? Let's go Falcons.

01:21:43 Zero with the bow check. Doesn't need the Kraber this time. LG has fallen as well, and Falcons still have a nice bunker that will be inside that next circle. However, when I say the next next circle, you gotta move just a little bit. Just a wee bit, because it's gonna be a tough endgame, so keep your eyes on Virtus.Pro. They're already working on their makeshift cover, and those Tritons have just been such a boon. Now, I understand why Nasky over in Amiya decided he really wanted to chow Aurora for one.

01:22:08 Again, I think Aurora needs to get studied on the way that they use these Tritents, because it is very interesting how much they can get away with there, but with the Gimme Bubble, you absolutely love to feel that as Anmu with the Charmed Up Sentinel. Get that shot here over to the other side, Tripod just trying to see what space they could buy in here. So many teams coexisting here, but this...

01:22:30 This is the area I was talking about that can be so tricky to get out of if you're forced to leave from checkpoint, which we are going to eventually have three teams. If you want to count tripods who are almost on the edge of the zone that are trying to find space, they can count it as that fourth. But now look at these other teams. Wait, they don't see him. Secretly, this is the team that ratted on set. He didn't beat LGS. No, I'm just kidding. But for real, gods among men, they have committed, and they have made it to the trenches. There could be a fight with...

01:22:59 Tripods, but it doesn't seem like they're actually gonna pay them any mind. Incoming is the Thuggets from the air, passing over the 100 Thieves, if you check over quite frequently. But for Tripods, still on the move, still using the Energize Zip. I don't know how we're thriving, because we have been on such an adventure. But the immediate Gibby Bubble to Rez, as soon as that drop happens, with Deeds forcing the Bubble Fight here, and they take down Bullet!

01:23:23 Oh, and Bullet thought he could just come in like a wrecking balk here. But now he's only on Mood left. He's one massive shot away. And he gets taken out. Tripods get eliminated. But look at this. It's raining Gibby ults from everywhere. And you can see the space. You can see the graveyard of death boxes at their feet. Now as Moist try to get keep. Okay, let's see what MT's got this time.

01:23:46 Wir haben bereits die Bubble schon benutzt. Wir haben ein paar Koffer. Koeffel zieht das Mann an seinen Koffer und zieht ihn auf den Boden. 100 Thieves, Gods Among Men. Vielleicht sind die Gods Among Men, aber sie sind nicht in dieser Lobby für die Zeit, als sie fallen. Moist hat sich jetzt sechs Kills, die sie in den Top 5 haben. Das Problem ist, die finalen Bosses von Match Nr. 1 sind in der Lobby, und sie sind in der Weg. Wir müssen uns herausfinden, wie wir von der komplett Eastern-Side sind, nach wo Birtus-Pro ist.

01:24:14 Im T kind of laden up that killfeed what I've seen thus far Moist beating themselves here Oblivion Trying to harass that team from afar the 1x2 on the G7 Almost criminal he's also just trying to poke with the massive seeing that there is a team that's right behind them here too But can we also just talk about the natural cover that they build up for themselves? I mean the Trident on top I mean a for effort the Trident on top the build box right there too

01:24:41 You got like three rampart walls on one side, you got the new castle wall on the other. They are set up and ready to camp. They're like little beavers, bro. Build a little beaver dam. Over here. Chaotic rotation over there from that trident. It's fine. We'll just ping it. Just ignore it for now. If you don't look at it, it won't see you.

01:25:03 So we're trying to survive out here. Lone shards now. Dropped is gonna get rezzed. Love that support pass up there too, where you passively are able to get that health slowly ramped up. Falcons, though, who have been on full blues, who have taken their time poking from afar, haven't gotten KP, but they know they need to try to send it on the team. Oh, it's fine. How?

01:25:24 Not necessarily the heavens, but it's the high ground. It'll do. And a Mastiff, and we're connecting maybe 50% of the shots. That's all right, though, because he's going to drop down and get closer. Maybe that'll help. Stallion's still down and out, and they found that KP you were talking about. And they got some extra evil shield charge there, too. Even if it's Barrow stuffing, that triple take, but you have to be careful with the circle, the Gipy bombardment, hiding behind the new castle wall. How can I get there in time? Walt, he's trying to pump the shield back. He's playing behind the knockdown.

01:25:51 Moist eSports, mit Fire in der Veins, sie sind endlich able zu finden Falcons, nachdem sie auf die High-Grohung haben. Wir sind gespannt, wie sie von einer Seite zu der anderen sind. Und durch die gesamte Lobby ist die Antwort. Und wir werden einfach weitergehen, weil Liquid Alienware hat fallen. Wir sind in die Top 4. Give uns 10 Kp in die Top 3. Aber Oblivion, was werden wir tun? Vielleicht mehr Bubble Fights, vielleicht mehr Rampart Walls, mehr Mastiff Chaos.

01:26:19 Hold up here, Oblivion. Lose out on Nano. Bleacher is gonna be able to get the revive here too. He just needs his teammate to survive the bombardment coming in. VP after booting out Furia for that spot that they were in before. Now gets to walk up for free. Boys get eliminated and VP are looking to try to take the second game with a massive just shouting through the air. Virtus.pro are your game two winners. And they did fight for that position that we saw them passively take in the back.

01:26:48 Look, thank God the Americas are getting exciting here because we did see Virtus Pro set up on that rock with the Newcastle wall, with the Trident since maybe five years ago. No, just kidding. But at least through the midway of the Stormpoint map. And it paid off for them because you got to think back to where the tripods were originally trying to rotate up through Downed Beast onto Virtus Pro. And everything that they do to be able to force tripods to go somewhere else gave them a clean rotate in from the Downed Beast side of things. And to convert that...

01:27:17 into a win here.

01:27:21 And to also be able to harass so many teams with that triple tick that I was talking about before from the high ground of North Pad 2, like they knew exactly where they needed to prioritize their rotate and seeing the opportunity there too, while holding back and knowing that no team was going to try to int on them with all the focus on the squads that had to rotate from the checkpoint side, the south side coming out of wall side of that final circle. That's the opportunity that they needed there. They did.

01:27:49 They really did. Yeah, you mentioned that checkpoint rotation, and I was just thinking about all five teams that were just, like, stuck over there. Thuggets. 100 Thieves. Tripods. It was scary. Gods Among Men.

01:27:58 90% of them died on that next rotation. There's just no good way to rotate out of Checkpoint when the entire lobby has already found themselves in North Pad. It's just not a good way to go about it. We saw what the evac tower rotates. We saw people walking it in. We saw 100T just kind of three stacked up waiting for everyone to rotate above them. And they all met their demise. Unfortunate.

01:28:20 That's why in a meta like this, when you are going in for a landing off of an Evac Tower, essentially if you don't find some space where you know that you can use either the terrain for cover or so, you're forced to essentially use that Gibby Bubble, which is so detrimental in this meta. Taking a look at Virtus.pro, who take first place, as well as 10kp to their name. Great game here. I believe Blue also put down a bunch of damage, so that's nice to see. Oblivion with 4kp, Moist with 10, and Lone Shark to 11kp.

Spielanalyse und Teamdynamiken in Apex Legends Americas Regional Finals

01:28:50

01:28:50 Das ist nett. Ich meine, es ist einfach so nett wie der Logo ist. Das ist ziemlich cool. Ich weiß nicht, wie das, aber ich mag es. Es sind schon sehr hohe-scoring-Games, das heißt, dass alle in die Back-Halfe diese Match-Bizolz sind.

01:29:02 Bezult, ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, ob wir die Bezult haben. Aber dann haben wir die anderen Seite. Es muss sich ein paar Zeros haben. Actually, Purple Slushie hat zwei vollen Teams gemacht, gut für sie. LG hat nicht mehr gesehen, aber sie hat einen Entfernen-Squad und hat vier Bezult. Also, wir haben ein paar Bezult. Und dann haben wir alle Teams, die die Kontext haben, ebenso sie in den Lifeline-Horizon haben. Cloud9 hat nicht ihre Füße über in Checkpoint. Komplexity hat einfach über in Senote gewonnen.

01:29:31 Was crazy because you were like, oh, yeah, I was wanting to see Monsoon with the Snipes. All right, well, we're going to wait till E-District. We have to wait. Yeah, that did not happen, especially like that middle part of the game. They were actually deleted like within the first minute or so. But yeah, we will have to see that going on to the next game. But with the team comparison and the head to head between Oblivion and Virtus Pro, you can see that 10 kills going in favor for Virtus Pro. Honestly, there was a lot of double digit kills that we saw in that first half of that second match, which is great. But the damage dealt by Oblivion.

01:29:59 Their kills were getting stolen in a distance. I'm not gonna say it was Lone Sharks, but with some lackluster damage, Yanya was absolutely taking 5KP. I mean, he had like 1K damage, but 5KP, I mean, you gotta scoop up what you can, but also being able to see what you could do coming out of that damage as we see the series scoreboard.

01:30:19 Yeah, and this is where things, we're going to start telling a story, right? We think back to the EMEA region that we saw earlier today. It was Danish that actually won the overall, and they were the team that came in in the final slot, right? 20th in the standings. Oblivion in 6th place right now with 13 points is the team that was on the lowest of the Americas BLGS region standings. So to see them potentially have...

01:30:42 Wir sehen uns wie es geht. Wir sehen uns wie es geht. Und ich will es über die Winter's Haunt Trailer. Es ist Zeit für ein meiner Lieblings-Events der Jahr in Apex Legends.

01:31:30 We should have punched out when you had the chance.

01:32:27 Auf Wiedersehen. Auf Wiedersehen. Auf Wiedersehen.

01:32:46 The fact that I didn't know what to expect. You look like you're about to come further out of it. I don't know how to explain it. Push your face forward a little bit. And slowly keep... Okay, go back in. That's one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. But you weirdly fit.

01:33:08 Was the question just just asked how everything's going is so close to swearing on broadcast

01:33:17 What the? I'm sorry. I can't. Oh my gosh. Okay. I don't know what to expect. But it's obviously Dan. I'm about surprised. Greek, it's so nice. I'm sorry. Not Dan. I did not mean Dan. Greek, it's so nice to have you on the broadcast. It's great to be here. I think you guys are doing a stellar job. Where's my what? Where's your neck? I lost it. It disappeared.

01:33:46 Throughout so many of the B-Streams, I lost my neck, but I'm here. I'm happy. I'm enjoying myself. I don't know what to say anymore. I don't know if this is a new high or a new low. You know what I mean? I'm not sure where we are. What do you mean? We're in the BLGS, baby!

Virtus Pro dominiert, während Teams um Positionen kämpfen und ein unerwarteter Sieg bevorsteht

01:34:08

01:34:08 Das hat mich gefühlt. Das hat mich gefühlt. Das hat mich gefühlt. Das ist was in der letzten Spiel. Das macht es nicht mehr. Honestly, was das ich gerade erlebt habe? Vielleicht nicht. Moistow mit der win. Vicky, help. Okay, ich komme zu save you. So, VP hat sich völlig auf Führer auf den besten Spot zu bekommen. Great auf dem hier, und wir sehen uns all die Chaos vor der Augen. Oblivion.

01:34:37 Kaffee Lee sent out at one point here, too. But it was a fight for holding that middle building that you see right there, where we saw Falcons up on the high ground. Then Moist fell down eventually, but Ferdis Pro just had to walk in and go for that timing on the third party. Liu was able to get one of those final shots in, and Ferdis Pro take game number two before.

01:34:57 We'd all go on to The District, which I'm really excited to see how this plays out. We've seen it already a few times, but now here officially for the finals of the BLGS, $100,000 on the line. Let's see what we got.

01:35:11 Dan, Greek, whatever abomination you are, are you with us? I'm here, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Who was... I just tuned in, what happened? Go back and watch the bot. I ain't got one. Let's look at E2 Strictly in our Americas Regional Final and contest immediately as three gentlemen arrive very late to the party and do not get anywhere near some guns. It's looking like it should, inverted commas, take this one, just from the fact that they had the much better drop.

01:35:40 Thug anomics. Just basic thug anomics. Yo! They're actually punching each other out. They're trying to thug it out. Oblivion drops here as well? Nah, what? That was the thug finals right there. That's what it was. I thought that this match started weirdly. Before we even got into it. I stand corrected. No, you said you almost swore. Just watching that made me almost swear. What on earth just happened on my screen?

01:36:10 Oblivion kamen auf top, aber wir verloren zwei Teams. Ja, das ist mein Ranked-Experienz, da. Für alle. Oh, es ist nichts mehr, als ich mich verletzt. Das ist mein Ranked-Experienz. Anyway, wir haben Humbert-Labs. Oblivion, gut für sie. Looks wie es war's. Ja, sie gewinnen. Wow, wer hätte ich gedacht? Oblivion, land, 3rd Party, die Contest. Get Godspot. Ich meine... Well done, them.

01:36:39 Das ist die 4th Soutern-Zone der Tag auf E-District. Ich weiß, das ist ein bisschen weiter Süd-East, als die wir in EMEA gesehen haben, aber... Die EMEA waren ganz nahe. Ja, wir haben zwei auf Draft-Point.

01:36:54 I just I'm sorry, I'm still reeling from Greek being British. Is that a picture like seared into your brain as well? Yeah, I actually can't help like just think about it right now like I just saw like three teams just punch each other out within the first five seconds of the game and it kind of makes me think like do I want POI drafting to come back or can I just see like

01:37:18 The throwdown happened all over again. But then when I think about that, I just can't help but think about British Greek talking to me again. I will say the last three to four minutes of my life have felt like a very lucid dream. I mean, it is starting to get late for you. You have said you haven't slept much, so maybe it isn't. This is all a dream. Anyway, Falcons.

01:37:46 finally some professionalism on our screens right now um winners of game number one hey 28 points on the board some decent ones in the last game as well they've got top six for wasn't mistaken after being taken down well they've got a little bit of a way to go here traversing all the way from the west side of the of the map here on the district towards where they gotta go so a little bit of passing for evo the team liquid by the way already up to one red and two pups just do a little bit care package action for them oh sweet dreams good night

Taktische Spielzüge und Zonenherausforderungen in Apex Legends

01:38:14

01:38:14 Leading out the nades here, see if they could hit. Get some spacing. We're backing up just a little bit. I like what I'm seeing with the weapon loadout here from Sykes. That flatline, my favorite weapons. Now also seeing where this zone is going to be pulling over to that south that we were talking about earlier on. So many squads have already gone for a rotate because as we were talking about earlier, E-District is one of those maps where you can see a lot of teams coexisting, which I absolutely love, especially in a meta like this.

01:38:43 Marc, was your thoughts on the Flatline Ironsight? Because Tiff earlier was saying that it gives her nightmares. I don't mind it. I don't mind it. Depends on the skin for me. Do you remember when that skin came out where it didn't have the Ironsight? Oh, the busted one? Yeah. Do I have it? Yes. Why wouldn't you? Didn't they patch it? They did, yeah. I couldn't get a refund, unfortunately. That was scary. He almost bit his toes.

01:39:12 Der Watt ist eigentlich auf der Hunt, um zu schaden, nach dem Gibby zu schaden. Jetzt, dass er bei den Signen ist. Ich habe nicht gesehen, dass der Bubblegum so weit ist. Ich habe nicht gesehen, dass der Bubblegum so weit ist. Ich habe nicht gesehen, dass der Bubblegum so weit ist. Ich habe nicht gesehen, dass der Bubblegum so weit ist. Ich habe nicht gesehen, dass der Bubblegum so weit ist.

01:39:38 Ich habe mich daran erinnert, um das Spiel zu erinnern. Ich habe nur einen Krieg gesagt, dass er mit seinem Gehirn sagt.

01:39:50 Oh, dear. Ich habe ein bisschen Zeit, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen, um zu machen. Ich bin glücklich, dass ihr beide seid. Grafik Design ist Ihr Passion. Es ist wirklich, es ist. Oh, ich glaube, Sie sind in Trouble. Sie sind in Trouble. Sie sind in Trouble hier. Sie sehen, ein paar Knochs kam in, TSM, die sind in den K.P. auch. Und Guild's job ist jetzt zu leben. Get out of there, aber...

01:40:14 If you're playing zone and you lose a little bit of a fight early on, like you see in here for NRG, it's about getting out, but you're gonna have to go back through traffic that's rotating its way in towards you and in towards that zone. So Guild's gonna have some work to do here to find a crafter to get those banners and get a Moby Rez off if he can, but he escaped for now, so NRG still kicking, though maybe not alive in the way they would have wanted to be. Honestly, I'm surprised he got out with how congested the zone currently is. 10?

01:40:42 Die 18 Teams sind in dieser nächsten Zone und haben alle gefunden, sehr gut zu kommen, aber sie sind so nahe zu einem anderen. Es gibt nicht viel Platz für die Late-Arrivals, sie werden wirklich zu müssen, um, ja, es ist nicht going zu sein, wahrscheinlich. Ja, das ist nicht going zu sein, das ist eine interessante Erfahrung, wahrscheinlich. Das ist eine interessante Sache, weil, sorry, German, Guild wird versuchen, die Stadion zu kraft, aber Moist sind in der Zeit geschlossen, wie ein Spieler ist in der Stadion gekommen.

01:41:08 Wenn sie das gleiche ist, dann wird sie das gleiche Zeit. Die anderen zwei Mitglieder der Moist sind hinterher. So, wenn sie sich da vor, oder sie treffen und sie gewinnen, dann wird es ein 2v3 mit Moistur auf der Rückfuhr. So, es ist sehr interessant. Ich werde mich an das und sehen, was passiert. Nrg werden die Rez. Ich war zu sagen, die gleiche Sache, in der Moist wird in der Richtung.

01:41:32 Und, wenn er das hier auskommt, gibt es Informationen, und sogar die Rez da auch. Sie können auch Gatekeep Moist, aufgrund von wie slow sie enden rotieren, mit der Zone zu verlassen.

01:41:46 Look, there's just no space. Where do you go? There's always a floor. There's always a corner. There's always somewhere to put your wall. It's like the Death Star. There's a little hole somewhere that you can creep in and blast. The whole map blows up.

01:42:04 Who wins the game, that's the real question. Draft Point's a good place to rotate through right now because you've got both Survey Beacon and you've got a Ring Console there. So you can not only get info, but obviously you're going to get double Evo points. So Falcons went that way, you can see Stallions there as well. So both these teams who are approaching late are going to have pretty good armors. Falcons are going to be able to get this Evo Cash as well, which will guarantee they'll be on purple. If they've managed to find a Care Pack on the way as well, then there's an opportunity they might be up to.

01:42:31 At least one red. We'll have to check in with them and see what they're looking like. But I mean, the story of this is how busy Zone is. I mean, just look at it. It's going to be a crazy endgame, this one. Tripods have moved to the north-east. North-west, excuse me. And I think Falcons are actually going to run into them first. Oh, fun gets spotted out.

01:42:50 We were kind of foreshadowing the Moist versus NRG and it's looking like Moist were ready for it by the looks of things. They get the knock on to finally just been respawned and look at that death box. Didn't even get to touch his toes on the ground. A lot of toes being shown here in some of these games with a lot of stragglers too. Falcons now getting sniped from a distance. Talk about how many people are in that next zone. It's actually crazy to see how little real estate there is.

01:43:18 Oh, ich kann sogar sogar den P.O.I., das ist eigentlich nicht so. Die Moise sind jetzt von der Zeit zu kommen, aber sie werden von der Rückseite kommen in, aber sie werden von der Rückseite kommen in, von der Rückseite von der TSM zu kommen. Die Tripods sind einfach nur hier, um hier zu spielen, um das Lowground vor zu machen, aber ich sehe die Teams jetzt jetzt, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, um zu spätigen, wie wir gesehen haben.

01:43:45 in Stormpoint in the last game, similar to what we saw from Furious Position and what we saw from Virtus.pro. Some teams are actually just hanging out from the back end of that zone so that way they do not get pinched.

01:43:58 I'm wasting a little bit of scrap here. You can see in the feed as well that Timmy's just gone down to sweep with that longbow and seen some good shots. Moist just trying to hold out Furia at the moment. Trying to look at my overhead as well to see if anyone could maybe hit Zone 4 info. The only beacon that looks like it's going to be available inside of the next zone is actually going to be in Humberland. So it's going to be contested. The complexity are kind of in and around that beacon. LG are also there.

01:44:25 So they can potentially bubble and get that. And that might give them a really good indication of where this zone is going to be going. Because if it pulls extreme in any of the directions, getting that information is going to be vital to get ahead of that traffic.

01:44:37 Oh, I do want to pinpoint that Energy is about to get that Mythic Bin there too. So that's fantastic news for them since they've had to run around for a bit having to get these respawns. Complexity and some trouble. Enemy losing out on his shield. Calling in the wall to see if they can try to get out of the line of sight of the team that's right above them. Trying to harass them. And aside from a lot of these Gibby Bubbles though, that coupled up with these Cat Walls, it is a free-for-all in what you can see here as Kim Chi is going to be able to give some Suppress Bar.

01:45:06 Ich weiß nicht, dass es die Korte von einem Apple ist. Ich möchte ihn fragen. Komplexi, wenn wir einen Interview mit ihm bekommen? Das ist mein erstes Frage. Will Komplexi eigentlich Survive this? Das ist die Frage. A lot of Teams sind da, die können Sie verletzen. Falcons fühlen die Pressure auf der Norden Seite. Furia, ich denke, hat einfach nur geholfen. Tripods, Leave No Witness, sind wir nach dem Falcons.

01:45:29 Aber sie haben viel Platz zu arbeiten und viel Platz. Ich denke, das ist eine gute Sache mit diesem Bereich. Einige Teams haben viel Platz zu arbeiten, aber dann wird das Zonier verletzt werden. Das Zonier ist hart, bei der Looks-A-Things. 100-Tees, C9, Lone Sharks sind in eine fantastische Position. All die Teams sind aus dem Norden. Sie haben einen wirklich schweren Zeit, wenn sie evakten ein bisschen später. Das Team ist in der South, Komplex E.R. zu sein, ist in der nächsten Zonier. Und das ist das, warum man Teams all of a sudden sieht...

01:45:57 Try and force a little bit of space. Force the way in towards where this zone is going to be going. So many teams on that low ground Virtus. Pro looking ahead. C9 on the outskirts here. Lone Sharks are all alone too.

01:46:12 Oh, by the way, in that southern part of that zone, as Onsense was saying, going all the way down to the south side, we can see Sykes in the feed lighting up enemy complexity and trouble as they're pinched with Oblivion right next to them. And Virtus.Pro, like we saw earlier, are trying to take some shots onto them. Now LG try to move in, see if they can try to capitalize, but they can't give up that spot. This is the beauty of the current meta with these bubbles. You can try to get these resets so that way you don't find yourself losing out of that fight. And looking like that was a stick with the Art Star. Look here, too, if it bounced off that shield.

01:46:46 Ich sehe nur zwei Punkte auf dem Board, aber sie sind in eine gute Position. Ich meine, das ist ein guter Beispiel für E-District. Es fühlt sich wie ein Play-Able-Spot. Es fühlt sich ein Spiel für alle zu spielen, aber es ist so ein janky kinder Platz zu spielen. Es ist ein physicaler Platz, es ist nicht vieles zu spielen.

01:47:02 So you're looking at Complexity right now, they're having to pay so much attention to every single angle that's around them. I mean, their back is open at the moment. Yeah, sure, they can get a wall down behind them, a Q if they needed to, to keep them alive. But if someone just walks up behind you and they hit the 3-2-1, then you've got to think about resetting and holding that team's push-off.

01:47:24 By the way, I did laugh, uh, looking at the responses from some of the players about, like, their favorite smells and stuff, and do they eat apple cores? You've got Kimchi who says he eats the apple core, and then you've got Monsoon who says if you eat an apple core, you are a sociopath. So, you know, there's clearly some differences on that squad as Furia just about find their way into the building and they'll be able to survive as well. But one minute of 13 for them to move south. And actually, they're not going to be the only ones. You've got Furia, Virtue.

01:47:50 NRG, Tripods all have to move together from north to south.

01:47:56 Wax does have an evac, so they've got an option, but it's evacuating with so many teams in front of you is almost a death sentence. I mean, they're kind of surrounded. They've got NRG behind them, Virtue close to them. Teams are going to be, as soon as they hear that audio cue of an evac, looking at them from zone. So even though they've managed to get back to their feet, all three players, this is a tough, tough rotate here for Fury to make. Lone Shark's in the best position on the map still. Look at that southern side of the zone. Lone Shark's have been there for all of this time.

01:48:24 And when I saw them take that spot first, they were isolated completely with nobody to contest them. Now look at where all these other teams have to move through to get into that next zone. Like you mentioned from Fury and Moy, still trying to see if they can angle their way over to the side of that zone. But other squads have taken up that evac to try to see if they could find some space in that next zone.

01:48:48 We're actually going to find the corner to play. Castle Wall is going to go down in a few seconds time as soon as that bubble goes down. So it's about swapping one piece of cover for the next. Beautifully placed. Oh, actually beautifully placed. A little bit of a hole. And that right hand side, that's about as good as you can get. It's like shoddy building work in England.

01:49:04 Just give that a little tap. It'll be fine. It'll be fine, yeah, don't worry about it, mate. It'll be fine, it's meant to. Air, innit? At least the Valkyrie did, uh... You are our number, welcome. At least the Valkyrie worked out somewhat. They were able to find themselves somewhere to call home. Oh, that was great. They were not only able to get the res, but they were able to just at least heal up thanks to having that dome right on time.

01:49:32 Aber sie müssen dort finden, weil die Moist sind direkt neben ihnen. Sie können Pinched hier sehen, nicht sehen, schauen auf Umferior an. Sie kommen auf die Newcastle Wall. Aber jetzt, die Arc-Star ist auf der anderen Seite der Energizei-Wall. So es wird nicht wirklich helfen, in diesem Fall. Sie können sie einfach nur für jetzt auswählen, aber auch, dass die Team alle ihre Nades auswählen.

01:49:55 Das ist ein God Rotate von Führer. Ich denke, wo sie ein paar Moments waren ein paar Moments ago. Oh, ja. Das war ein paar Moments von Falcons und jetzt finden sie sich in einer der besten Position zu finden. Hier ist ein bisschen ein Bubblefighter und das ist warum Monsoon Loves them. VP Eliminated. Kim Chi ist die einzige Spieler zu gehen, aber er hat auch ein paar Damage in der Fight. Monsoon mit der Gunschild auf und hat die Spieler mit den Spielern mit seinen zwei Team-Maten. So, ein guter Job von Complexity, aber das Zone Pool jetzt muss man sich nicht mehr so. Look how far sie haben. 50 Sekunden zu tun.

Strategische Manöver, Team-Eliminierungen und persönliche Vorlieben in Apex Legends

01:50:23

01:50:23 Maybe Monsoon kann start to think about his favorite smell, which is lavender. That's a very Monsoon answer, isn't it? Lavender. I can imagine Monsoon meditating with lavender aura around him. I'm surprised it isn't sage, actually. Maybe it's sage and lavender. Good to sleep, did you say, Mark? Maybe you should try some lavender for your rest. I was expecting Mon to say something like braised pork or something like that. I mean, I do love the smell of some braised pork.

01:50:55 Oh, hier we go, Newcastle all slammed down. Now having to play off the side of the shield, Crook with some of these massive shots, but having to back away. They have that lifeline here too, by the way, but Crook falls incredibly low, cannot clutch with the massive shots, and Stallions get eliminated, and now this is the perfect time for the third party. Oh, he is out.

01:51:18 Er ist nicht so weit, aber es ist noch ein Gebe auf dem Run. Er ist einfach nur ein Gebe auf dem Run. Er ist einfach nur auf den Polis-Helicopter gesehen. Furious ist jetzt in einer dieser großen Spots. Und jetzt Falcons werden sie mit ihnen joinen. Falcons haben sie versucht, die Needle durch die Carnage zu finden. Ja, wie sind Falcons damit? Ich meine, von der Norden-Side, es war wirklich schwer für sie zu pushen. NRG-Nocturnal ist ein bisschen zu tun, aber er hat sich nicht mehr zu tun.

01:51:43 Die Team-Mates kommen in, um zu cleanen Sachen zu machen. Komplexe wird in die 14. Nrg weitergehen.

01:51:50 Patient Play paying off here for NRG. And they know that there's a team right across from them here too. While Furious still stay alive. Gaby Bubble helping them out. Still playing off the back end of that Newcastle wall. And NRG looking if they could just poke out from that doorway. Bojack Massive are right here. And they're also going to be able to thrive off the loot at their feet. Thanks to Complexity. I'll get taken out by the way by Madness.

01:52:16 Jetzt sehen wir die fight, die Führer zu senden. Walsch ist erholt, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen, er hat einen.

01:52:40 Ja, Moist and Leave No Witness aren't really close enough to kill Furia yet, but it's whether Furia can escape from here. I mean, this is going to be the final circle, so they can start to set up and think about how they approach moving towards the center. Leave No Witness are actually closest to the middle at the moment. Everyone else has to move in a little bit further. TSM have a building, Cloud9 and Virtua are within a building as well right now, so they should be able to push for top five, but this is where all the commotion's happening.

01:53:02 This is a crazy look, the dome coming out, the new castle on the other side, Deeds able to get that knock onto Fun, the huge nade too onto Anu, Jet slides in off the grapple, massive no bolt necessary, a little lackluster on that shotgun ammo, but he's looking at every corner, he cannot reset Anu here. Oh no.

01:53:25 Ich weiß nicht, dass das Zip-Line war. Sie sehen, er war zu versuchen, zu versuchen, es zu versuchen, zu versuchen, Tripod zu gehen. Wir sind in die Top 10. Das NRG, was ein Spiel they're having, by the way. Jetzt in die Top 9, es ist 100. Das sind die Top 9, es ist 100. Das sind die Top 9. Sie sehen, sie haben ein bisschen von Play-Able-Space hier, als der Cat-Q geht, um das Push zu stoppen. Aber jetzt Guild wird erholt sein, zu Führer. Liquid Alienware eliminated, in der meantime.

01:53:48 The fact that Furia has been able to survive and push this hard and getting the KP that they need after they were in such a bad spot on the northern side of this zone is insane. Eight squads left in this final zone. Exactly, where do they go? Look at Double Dome. You got the Catwall coming up and you got the new Castlewall slamming down.

01:54:07 There is nowhere to go for Fury, I don't think, but we'll see whether they can somehow escape. But it looks like the ring is going to kill them. They're just trying to get placement points right now. NRG just have fallen as well. Fury do get eliminated. Six squads remain. Moist taking too much damage. Five squads remain as Moist go out. C9, looking to pick up some more KP.

01:54:24 Just playing slowly behind this wall. You can see on the other side of things, you've got the team who's been here for so long. Lone Shark still holding it down. TSM now have to make their move in. A little bit of a quiet first two games for TSM. After the first game where they played for placement, played for essentially the reset. And now Zap is going to hit some heads with his Mastiff. Got to reset, got to pop those shield cells out.

01:54:45 And they have to have Zap be the first one to take initiative, because he was the only one with purple right now, as Verhos with blue, Revs with blue as well, looking to take these two different angles, playing off the high ground. Massive in hand with a purple bolt. You see the Gibby Dome coming down. You hear the Newcastle on the other side. They're not trying to get involved in all of this. I'm going to stay quiet, because there's two playboy plays. Go. TSM now jumping to try and finish this one off.

01:55:10 Oh, bevor he gets to here, TSM mit der Patient Play und mir mit Onset und Gaskin. Goal, als TSM. Take game number three on E-District. Aber du sagst, was sie haben zu tun. Das ist wirklich, wenn du in der Final-Zone bist, wenn du in der Finale-Zone bist, einfach mit den Massen, wenn du nicht auf dich bist, ist der Weg zu gehen, wenn du an der Shield disadvantage hast. Die zwei Blues, eine Purple, du kannst dich einfach nur in der Chaos.

01:55:40 I saw you had a little look towards me there, Mark. I was just checking. And he's back! Just like that! You thought he was gone. It's like you go like this as well. Hold on, it's this way, isn't it? As soon as you put it on, you just go like this. Just completely shrink. It's very, very daunting. Just hunch over. You kind of look like someone else that's not Greek. Oh my god, you do look like Jayhawk. Wait, you think a mixture of me and Greek is Jayhawk? Yeah.

01:56:09 Wow, I cannot see that now. Let's talk about TSM, though. Let's talk about that endgame, because that was very well managed. And I think one thing when you look at TSM's games, you look at some of their performances, sometimes it's their little bit of endgame management, which is areas that they had to work on. It's something they've had to learn, of course, with kind of the shared IGL role that we see between the team now. But that was a perfect example of it, right? Just playing patiently. First player in was the one with the most shields. He engages, but backs down, starts to fight off, and then they re-engage.

01:56:37 Wir haben für die High-Ground gespielt, so wirklich gut End-Game-Management kamen von TSM. Ein Impressiv für sie in der ersten Spiel auf E-Distruct. Ja, wir sind gut. Wir haben gesagt, dass die 4 Kp haben, aber auch die 4 Kp haben. Sie haben gesagt, dass sie 60 totaler Punkte bekommen, nachdem sie das Dumpf. Even C9 ist, dass sie 8 Kp haben. Aber Spreta, ich fühle mich, in der ersten Spiel, in der ersten Spiel.

01:57:06 Es ist der Baton Pass.

01:57:26 Oh, we'd make a great relay team. Actually, if we were a relay team, who would run the last leg? The glazing is getting crazy in here. Let's bring it back down a little bit, all right? Let's bring this back down. Let's look at the overall results as well as we see the bottom half of the score from that game number three. Falcons on top at the moment, but remember, match point today. So it's all about hitting 50 points, and look how close it is. Oh my God, it's like all the way down, a couple of points between each place. What?

01:57:52 Der 3-Way-Tie ist zwischen Moistia und C9. Ich liebe das. Das ist das, was man kann nicht nur in einem Lobby wie dieses Spiel, aber das ist wie ich, diese Spiele zu gehen. Die Punkte sind nahe. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung. Keine Ahnung.

01:58:16 Tiff, fühlst du eine Favourite du gesehen hast so far in den Finals? Nein, aber ich war schuldig. Du musst mich sagen, dass ich eine Favourite hatte? Ich werde, wenn du. Ich werde, wenn du. Aber es war eine Frage, dass ich zurückgekehrt habe. Es ist crazy. Es ist crazy. Es ist so, dass ich nicht.

01:58:36 Don't have to. I'll give you a favour. There is just like seven teams that are north of 20 and no one's getting close yet. But to be fair, one good game and someone's on 50. 20 points needed. But I think it kind of sums up what are some of my thoughts on what we're seeing in this meta at the moment. Like it's so difficult to be consistently winning games. You can consistently put like points on the board. You can consistently get to an end game. But because of how the end game

01:59:05 Ja, und ich meine, ein bisschen was wir sehen mit dem Support Legend.

01:59:33 Absolut.

02:00:02 Some people don't. It's the beauty of the meta, right? It's the beauty of how things develop. And we'll take a look at some of those changes from the Hotfix as well. We'll look at Lifeline because that was something that had a huge, a legend that had a huge overhaul, excuse me, in the latest season. Now the cooldown on the resis is going to be reduced a little bit because it was pretty crazy how quickly you can get people up just by tapping them. Also, cooldown on Dock is very useful because...

02:00:30 Wenn du, wie zum Beispiel, Quick Shield Cell Pops an den Support Legends, die wir jetzt wissen, gibt es 50 HP, als was sie vorher gemacht haben. Kombi das mit Dock, die all die ganze Zeit sind, ist es einfach so schwierig zu machen. So, Lifeline, ein bisschen Hothfix kam in. Ist das genug?

02:00:50 Vielleicht. Ich meine, wir sahen sie für den Contest. Es war gut für einen Team und nicht so viel für den anderen. So, great. Aber sie kann Hover, ein bisschen Passiv, wo sie auf dem Map ist. Es ist wie, ich komme zu healen. Und dann wird sie ihr Dock aus dem Weg gehen. So, wir sehen viele Newcastle. Es ist Newcastle's World. Wir leben in es. 100% Pick Rate. Wir sehen, warum.

02:01:14 I think the big thing for Newcastle here is they got rid of the Gold Knockdown in Comp as well. Huge. Huge. Because that was one of the big compelling problems. Everything on its own, if you were to play this Legend on its own, it was already strong. But when you added on Gold Knock, you'd be...

02:01:32 Es ist unmöglich zu töten, den Newcastle zu töten. Plus, die Spieler werden wieder zurückgebracht haben, ist es zu haben. Es ist auch zu viel. Die Kühne zu viel. Die Kühne zu erhöhen, ist natürlich sehr wichtig. Die Kühne zu erhöhen, ist natürlich sehr wichtig. Und es nicht mehr zu werden, ist ein Veränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderungsveränderung.

02:02:02 Is that me? Oh, hey. Uh, I think the power of Newcastle, though, is still displayed, despite the changes. Still 95% pick rate. Actually, 92% pick rate. It wasn't Emilia. Like, does there need to be more changes would be the real question. Oh. That's the real question. What would you do? What would you change? What would I do? Oh, it's, you know, I'm not a developer. I'm merely a color caster, as you said, so I'm not sure what I would change. What would you change, Mark? Remove the support class healing. You don't like the fast heal?

02:02:31 What about it? You don't like it? No, not in a matter where people get rezzed all the time. It's so difficult to close a gap from a knock you get and convert it into a kill by the time that person's popped a cell. You're always fighting someone with shield, so I think there you go. You're not wrong. Especially with the Newcastle perk upgrades, you've got the extra HP upon the rez, so it's like, yes, we don't have the gold knockdowns anymore, but you still slot that right in there because I think it's valuable, and we're seeing a lot of it, which just creates all the chaos.

02:02:59 Ich habe den Health Perk auch. Mit der Geht mit der Geht. Alles andere Dinge. Das empfiehlt es. Wir sehen uns jetzt, was wir haben. Wir hatten schon drei Games. Wir haben alle unsere Mappen so far gesehen. Vicky? Dan? Wer will uns das machen? Ich gehe jetzt. Das ist ein Kolokaster. Ich gehe jetzt von ihm. Scene 9.

02:03:23 Das war das erste Spiel, aber das war das erste Spiel. Wir haben den Falken gewonnen, mit 10 Kp. Sie waren unkontestet von der Rückseite. Die Kraber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber-Kreber

02:03:52 Ja, ich denke Falcons...

02:03:54 Coming towards the end of this, there was a chance that maybe TSM could have potentially contested them a little bit in that final circle. But as soon as they saw there was a weak player, they committed to the fight very quickly. And then in the end, it was just a three versus one with the last remaining player. So it was an easy cleanup. But then we saw match two as we moved over to Storm Point. And that was where we saw Falcons not able to carry on that momentum into the second game, where I thought maybe they would run away with it a little bit here. But it's proven that the Americas has actually been far closer. But maybe we expected that as well. We touched.

02:04:23 auf den Start der Show zu sehen, wie viele Teams hier heute können. Und ich denke, das hat sich nun gewonnen mit, wie alle diese Quadsen sind auf Points.

02:04:34 Looking at VP up on the high ground there, too. They were able to boot Furia off from that positioning, which actually allowed them to hold the best spot in trying to third party. But always, when we see these teams taking these final fights, from Falcons in the first game, VP now, even in the last game that we just saw, it's about that patient play to wait and then walk in to try to find what was left of a lot of these third, fourth parties. Because of these domes, you can't really cope from afar. You really can't.

02:05:02 Ich denke, die Call kommen aus von Virtus.pro als sie sich in der 3rd Partie befindet. Charge, mit den 3 Red Shields haben, wie wir uns gemacht haben. Und dann haben wir den nächsten Mal. Es war E-District, es war verrückt. Es war ein Mose-Ambit, es war ein Chaos in den ersten Fällen. Y'all went hart auf den Tri-Cast, auch. Wir waren alle ein bisschen perplexed an der Start der Spiel, wie gesagt, mit 3 Squats dropping und throwing Fists around. Aber das war der Zone, also vielleicht war es so, vielleicht war es all worth es in der Ende.

02:05:32 Aber dann haben wir zu schauen, wer kann eigentlich in der Ende dieses Mal auswählen. Und das ist wo ich gerade gesagt habe, Vicky, Marc, einen von euch, bitte, bitte, weil ich das jetzt auswählen kann, weil ich jetzt alle diese Bubbles habe. Die Double Bubbles habe ich gesehen. Die Valkyrie Missile Swarm, hier. TSM, da, auf die Hiveground. Wir haben uns in die 3. Und jetzt haben wir gesehen, ein kleines Begründnis zwischen Koifel und Walsi. Koifel, mit 8 kills und fast 5 kills.

02:06:01 1,000 damage dealt in, was, in 3 games alone? That's actually insane. Khoifo's damage output is always up there with the best, but those kind of stats, considering that Falcons, I mean, you look at the average survival time, it's something that I wanted to take into account as well, because they're pretty similar. You know, you look at Waltzy, almost just less than a minute, more, 60 seconds or so on the map, but...

02:06:25 To be putting out that much damage from Moist, Koifu really is performing well at the moment. Eight kills, three assists really is being a little bit of a powerhouse here on the map. That's a good way to put it.

02:06:43 All right. Well, with the first three games done and dusted, Tiff, I think it's time for you to take the seat and cast alongside Mark and Dan, because you got a lot more action coming to you guys soon. Take it away.

02:06:58 Ich glaube, es ist almost ein Punishment zu haben. Ja, sorry. Oh, congratulations. Sorry, Tiff. Why are you guys... Don't apologize to me. We're going to have some fun, right? Oh, yeah. As long as Dan doesn't... I mean, I don't think it could get weirder than how the previous game started. Yeah. Did you like my... There it is. I was like, did you like my whisper from the back? I was like, Jayhawk. It's Jayhawk. Yeah, bring it back. Like, seriously, I want to look at it again. We got to have, like, really decipher through this. You are 100% our Jayhawk.

02:07:28 That's crazy! Hey, I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but either way, someone's getting insulted. Anyway, Match 4 is gonna be on E-District, and I'm- Sick. I'm excited to see E-District again, because that start was absolutely insane. It was, but I really want a Northern E-District zone. Like, over in EMEA, we had a ton of Southern Poles, and kicking things off in Americas, we've already done the same thing. So, like, take us to the North. Take us somewhere new.

02:07:56 I agree. I want to go to the north side. I want to see something a little bit different here on E-District. However, now that we've said that, more than likely that we'll go back down to the south. Even to the same zones that we had a little bit earlier on Amir. Probably was going to happen now. Don't say that. Don't jinx us. Probably was going to happen, isn't it? No, definitely not. We're getting something new. We're doing something crazy here on E-District, especially with match number four. The real question, is anyone going to hit match point here?

02:08:22 Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer. Ich bin ein Non-Believer.

02:08:47 I don't know who, but I think one. Okay. Maybe if we see a central zone. Maybe. Do you think we can get that? Perhaps. I mean, the last one was very difficult to do anything because it was a very easy zone to predict and everyone moved straight away. So everyone was just kind of in buildings and there was very isolated fights that were happening. No one could really capitalize on it. Whereas maybe it could be different if we get a little bit to a different area. Now we'll see whether...

02:09:14 Wir haben die gleiche Hot Start als wir vorher haben, aber es sieht aus wie Purple Slushy haben sich tatsächlich gefunden gefunden. Ja, Thuggets und Purple Slushy sind noch etwas zu tun. Oblivion hat sich jetzt noch ein bisschen weiter zu tun, als der Contest ist nicht mehr so heiß. So, sie werden einfach die P.O.I. zu selbst, und Thuggets werden auch ein paar Loot, und Purple Slushy werden auch. Es sieht aus wie es nicht. So, jeder sollte genug Loot und Rotate zu machen. Und ich joked... Stop. Ich joked... Stop. Ich joked...

02:09:43 Almost means. Didn't quite get there, but watch this. Trevstacks is going to hit this ring console, and look where we're going, everybody. You watched Amir earlier, you know exactly where we're going.

02:09:57 Okay, look, hopefully our teams did do a little bit of watching because we commit to it. LG over in DraftPoint, killer rotation. Honestly, I love that we didn't see Purple Slushie and Thuggets duke it out on a contest and Oblivion not getting an easy third party because now we can actually see them survive for that rotate that's going to benefit them so nicely.

02:10:18 LG have Ring Console as well. They'll know exactly what's going to be happening. I mean, you speak, Mark, about, you know, difficult game to get a lot of kills or a difficult map to do so, but I guess if anyone's going to do it, it's probably one of the northern teams as they continue to move through, especially if we don't see as fast rotates, because there are certain teams that might not have been able to get Ring Console. I don't know if Liquid Alienware got Ring Console, so they're kind of hovering at the moment. NRG would have got Ring Console, so they might end up fighting Liquid Alienware. Both of them get slowed down and then...

02:10:48 Weil beide Moist, Falcons und Stallions alle haben Ring Consoles zu arbeiten.

02:11:17 Obviously hit the ring console. So LG played that one very smart. And I think that now that they've got the prior position, they're probably going to try and play a couple of buildings early on to try and force teams off if they try and arrive a little bit early. But they should have the pick of the litter when it comes to the way they want to play.

02:11:31 Keyword should. Now, if you think back when we saw it in the EMEA region, that was where NIP played from. They took the roof early on and they eventually co-existed with two different teams. So I'm sure we'll see a lot of the same thing. My question is, what are going to be the teams that will be the first ones to try to make that journey over towards that building?

02:11:50 Surprisingly, a few teams that I thought were going to fight here in the early game have just been able to avoid one another and just go on their merry way. And I think there's a lot of respect in this lobby. People know that any fight you take could be against one of the best teams in the world. So you don't really do it unless you are in a confident position or you have some sort of height advantage or shield advantage. Whereas in this early game, not many people did have a shield advantage. So everyone kind of just staying away from one another right now. Instead, it's a lot of long range fights. And now there's people arriving from the sky.

02:12:20 E More bubbles Here it is, here's that chow, give it to us Some bullets seem to hurt more than others, right? That one that hit sweet then really, really seemed to hurt

02:12:35 I like how Funk just looks at that. He sees the guy just rotating with the Mobile Shield. He's like, good luck. Not worth his bullets. Not worth his ammo. No. So see you later, friend. I do like how well and how quickly people have adjusted to the Mobile Shield as well. One of the players who really started to use the Mobile Shield successfully early on was Monsoon. I remember watching him playing the Solos with Newcastle because he was convinced it was going to be one of the best characters to use during the Solos event, but...

02:13:04 Ich denke, es hat alles aufgeteckt, all das Praktis, weil es um die Schild zu nutzen ist ein sehr schwieriges Schild. Und da ist ein sehr viel Schild. Und da ist ein sehr viel Schild für es. Und ich denke, viele Teams sind wirklich zu machen, jetzt. In Vp hat es geschafft, zwei Purples und ein Red mit Slayer auf den Catalyst, mit dem extra Schild HP, ich würde sagen, dass du von...

02:13:29 Siekt! Siekt! Siekt! Siekt!

Potenzielle Endgame-Szenarien und Teamstrategien

02:13:46

02:13:46 This is gonna be one of those really interesting endgames where everyone just gets into a position. It's very akin to Skyhook endgames on World's Edge, where we're gonna go the majority of this entire game and no one is gonna full send. Even if you get a knock on someone, they're gonna keep resetting and we're just in it for an eternity. But Gassi, you thought 15 kills? Well, no, I don't think anyone's gonna get 15 kills. You don't necessarily need 15 kills.

02:14:14 Es gibt eine Winn, die würde 12 sein. So, wir haben TSM als Beispiel hier. Ein Winn würde sie zu 38 mit keinen Kills haben, und dann würde sie 12 Kills haben. Das ist ein viel. Ja, es ist. Ich glaube, TSM ist erstens. Die Falcons brauchen 8 Kills. Aber das ist was Marc war alluding, dass, wo die Zone geht.

02:14:34 You can really struggle to find those amount of kills because everyone does hunker down. And I think that's why he was saying, you know, if you get more of a central zone, it's a bit more open. People fighting a little bit earlier. But no, everyone is heavily committed to moving early. They found somewhere to play. And it is going to be difficult to have a high kill game for sure. One of those games as well. If you find yourself having to play an edge on a zone like this and approach late, like you have no...

02:14:57 Ich glaube, das ist auch eine andere Option, ich glaube, zu gehen auf den Weg zu collecting Evo, wie alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles, alles.

02:15:26 I'm scared for LG now. It looked like it was going to be a poised position, but when we witnessed this circle early on, it shifted more towards the left. So now it puts LG in a position where like 10 teams are going to full send to the side of the circle.

02:15:52 Es ist ein viel, wie, dead space, als auch, zwischen Teams jetzt, wo der Zonier ist, um sich zu schiffen, um einen Ort, das nicht wirklich, dass... ...playable. Und vielleicht ein Team, die auf der Erde ist, kann man sich nicht mehr aufnehmen, um das zu kommen, und dann bald, und dann wiederholfen, während jeder's attention ist, woanders. Das ist sicherlich, dass wir eine sehr spannende, eine sehr spannende, als nächstes Mal, nachdem man sich in aufhören. Wir haben einfach nur ein paar Schritte gesehen. Wir haben einfach nur ein paar Schritte gesehen.

02:16:20 Still the best skin in the game. Without a doubt. Welcome to being a Gibraltar. What did you get for poking a bear? You just don't do it. Those shots were nasty from TSM. Can they push it and get the conversion of the kill though? That's the question. That's going to be kind of chipped away at his shields as well.

02:16:44 Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

02:17:13 Wenn der Bubble geht, dann könnte es ein Problem hier für Furia sein.

02:17:20 Ja, aber Vaxx auf den Newcastle, man.

02:17:46 We talk about Vaxelon being one of the best Newcastles in the game, and to be fair, that just small interaction from what we witnessed is why. Newcastle is like the... the equivalent of like when you were a kid and you had a sports injury and there was always the guy with like the sponge and the cold water bucket. You can fix anything. You can fix anything. You pulled a hammy? Don't worry. Cold water sponge, that'll sort it out. It did always work though.

02:18:16 Head injury? It's fine. Cold water and a sponge. Is that a break? Don't worry about it. Walk it off. Back it off. Walk it off. Tim, you've never had cold water and a sponge? No way. After a sports injury? I understand that I got stuck in the Birmingham airport and I just live there now, but no one has came up to me with a cold water and a sponge. If someone comes up to you in Birmingham airport with a cold water and a sponge, run. Run. Yeah.

02:18:44 Ich denke, das Person ist in der Vergangenheit in der falsche Zeit.

02:18:50 Es war ein Sport-Thing in den UK, es war dieses weird Phänomenon. Okay, es war ein paar Weir Phänomenon. Es war ein Mann, es war ein Mann mit einem Buckett und einer Spongebung. Es war nicht ein First Aid Kit, es war einfach nur Wasser und eine Spongebung. Aber es war einfach immer. Ich nehme ein Newcastle, instead. Ich nehme ein Newcastle. Ja, für real. Alright, Zero On hier. By the way, Zone-Wise, ich war ein paar Dead Space, die es umgebracht hat.

02:19:18 Ja, Virtue ist in der nächsten Zone.

02:19:32 Yes, I'm go back to the three by the way as well on the east side is I sick What are the Falcons gonna do about it? I got the mythic bin so Falcons all reds they will want to fight a bow check in the hands of zero as well I was hitting some nice craving shots it earlier Can you get the opening damage here if they get a shield check here? They are pushing They don't need a shield check their s tier. I can smell the blue shields

02:20:00 I wonder what it smells like. Lavender. Okay. Yeah, it does. Okay. Or someone else said that their favorite smell is wet rain. And now, I don't know when rain isn't wet, but... Anyway, here come falcons. Okay, let them push in. Let them get poked in product from that triple take. Force one, wait!

02:20:29 Okay, okay, it's okay. If they would have lost that, I would have demanded a zero listening because there would have been some Australian words being thrown. I would have demanded a refund. I don't know what for, but something. I would have wanted a refund to something I purchased in the last week. Yes, go Karen. Call me a Karen. Sometimes you have to get a refund, Tiff, you know? Yeah, me too. You are a Karen. I'm a Karen! Wait, what is the equivalent of a Karen but a man?

Teamkämpfe, Strategien und Spielentwicklungen

02:21:00

02:21:00 Steve. Colin. Colin. Clive. Randall. Falcons kind of got away with murder there. I mean, it's not Walsh's fault, right? You don't expect there to be someone playing like that in that corner. But they did take the bait, and luckily it was the Red Shields that essentially bailed them out of that situation. They get the KP, though. They get the spot, too. Falcons now should have a rotating from the north. NRGE struggled. By the way, 18 squads still alive in this game. 17. Plenty of kills to be had. We'll save that.

02:21:29 Not wrong, plenty of bubbles to throw down as well. And Guild looks a little confused about where he wants to approach or maybe not approach at all. So we go back in the train and we wipe around and stuff the Mastiff in their face. He just blew Timmy's head off. That was ugly to watch. Oh my goodness. Jaguars now, he's having a go himself. Energy eliminated. Jaguars will go down, but there's the Newcastle.

02:21:56 But it's probably trying to move in on some damage that's going down here and all of this is happening on the eastern side of the western side of this zone on the bridge. 100 Thieves are still alive by the way. Two of them managed to get away. VP trying to clean up some damage but it's all on Lou now. We're no longer on Lou.

02:22:18 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.

02:22:46 All right, Falcons, how math works is 16 points. 16.

02:22:55 There's plenty of people left in the lobby. Moist position right now. Bang, center of zone. Where that next zone is going to be finishing. Plus Kraber in the hands of Empty. You know what happened that one time? That little 720. Everywhere Empty looks, he starts to zoom in and then a bubble comes down. Or a dark veil comes down. He's just like, can someone just give me a clear shot, please? When that bubble disappears, someone's getting a bullet right through the backside. Someone through.

02:23:24 Leer No-Witness gone. LG gone, by the way. 119! Anymore? For anymore. I'm disappointed. I thought that was going to be more. What? Did that connect? We'll never know. Fine. Put me on cloud nine. Thunder Thieves gone. 12 squads now remain. C9 on their move forward. Second place in the other rules, by the way. 30 points at the moment for C9. I don't hate it. It's pretty solid. Maybe?

02:23:54 Imagine their contest that Stormpoint game went differently. They'd be higher in the points. Oh, MT's just waiting again. Bubble, bubble. Toilet trouble. That wall's not good enough. That wall is leaving them exposed. So I do get one to make MT feel a little bit better about shooting a wall, but you know, it happens. Point for now, putting out more damage. Now on this low ground, you can see that the pods are not looking too strong.

02:24:23 Das ist gut. Wir haben noch zwei Bälle. Wir haben noch ein Angles, wir sind noch in. Ich bin nicht sicher, welche Seite es eigentlich zu kommen wird. Sind wir hier auf der Moist-E-Sport-Side gehen? Sind wir hier auf der TSM-Side gehen? Weil die Falcons sind in den Norden, wir haben versucht, zu beurteilen. Ich bin einfach nur auf die Central-Side. All die Teams auf der Edge sind alle alle zu gehen. Obviamente, Sie sehen, es ist einfach auf die Eastern-Side.

02:24:49 TSM sind die Farbe des Easts und vielleicht die Falcons werden von ihnen sein. Sie sind auf der Norden, aber dann gibt es alle diese Gruppen auf der Westen. Es gibt fünf Gruppen, alle hier zusammengekommen. Das ist was Onset war. Es ist schwierig zu finden, eine gewisse Anzahl zu finden.

Zonenstrategie, Team-Engagements und kritische Entscheidungen

02:25:11

02:25:11 Z9-Forced to move forward. You can see the Gibi-Alts are going down. This is Falcons. They've made a commitment to the eastern side of the zone. This is going to be in for longer for them on this side. So it's a smart decision to make. Just kind of play your percentages, right? Complexity in this bubble fight. Enemy looking for targets. Not going to be able to connect too much though. Kimchi and Monsoon left on their own. Mon throws that bubble down. Furio will be eliminated as will Thugits. They'll be able to get enemy back up. Points here for Complex E4 KP as well for Monsoon. Now he's going to have to exchange a res himself.

02:25:39 Oh, he immediately hops on it. Moist is just doing so much damage from up above. They've got a great vantage point in the moment. In one of the better positions on this western side, there is going to be a lot of teams below them, but that's fine because they can kind of just wait for them to poke out. Everyone's going to then have to walk around this side of the building that you can see. And on the other side of it is only Falcons and TSM right now. Falcons and TSM, definitely the two teams with the advantage. Moist have an evac, so...

02:26:05 They can play, essentially, either side, if they need to, in the hands of MT. You see, the evac's gonna go down, which is gonna give them a chance to make a rotation. They can put it down in height as well, which is the most... I was gonna check if they could actually put it down in height, because if they can, it means that nobody else can really use it unless they want to commit up to that high ground, and that's a risk in itself. So they've got options, whereas everyone else doesn't really, unless they have an evac themselves, but with so many teams down on that low ground, everyone's just gonna get a shot going for it.

02:26:33 Oh, this west side. This is atrocious. You've got Gods Among Men that might be able to try and walk through that, but when that circle starts closing, there's no way we're not going to be able to walk towards the other side. It is evac or bust. Yeah, this is going to be an evac for sure. They're starting to set up for it, it would seem, but can they actually find anywhere to call home on the other side? Because you do have TSM and Falcons on the other side that are just going to be there waiting for those people to come through the choke. Evac goes down, and it is going to be a Hail Mary.

02:27:05 Ja, ja, ja, just waiting for them to come up the zip. If anyone does, they've got to rotate on over to the other side. Falcons and TSM still inching closer, but the west side is just sheer chaos. TSM with a wall and a dark veil to try and withstand as long as possible. It was Liquid who just wrapped around from that south side as well, so TSM now find themselves sandwiched a little bit here, and Falcons want to try and take advantage of that. You can see TSM have had to use all the utility. You see the cat wall has been down, and now...

02:27:33 Sie sehen, sie wollen sie versuchen, Verholz zu versuchen. Verholz wird all die Schilden und die Schilden ausgewählt. Er ist über 20 HP. Falken wollen sie auf diese Schilden. Virtuum eliminiert. In der meantime, Gods Among Men. Komplexität, all das auf der anderen Seite dieser Wall. Falken ist sehr vorsichtig, weil Moist war in eine Position, sie könnten sie aufzunehmen, hätte sie zu den Kampf gegen TSM gemacht haben. Hals versucht zu tun, aber zu tun, dass sie es sehr gut machen können. Er weiß, dass er sich zu lange aufzunehmen kann, dass er sich zu lange aufzunehmen kann.

02:27:59 Oh, Falcons, Waltzy, just biding his time through the bubble. The moment that bubble drops, they are sitting ducks down below. Aim it on up, but they're starting to get pressure from elsewhere.

02:28:09 Moisture in that corner just below them, and they managed to get a reset. It was MT who went down initially after they hit that evac, but now they're in the corner. C9 eliminated too, into our top five now, as Liquid now look like they are probably in the best position here, because they are the team with their Baxter zone and everybody else in front of them. Yeah, Falcons need to find a way to actually find safety. They're going to be able to use the opposition castle wall here just for a little bit of cover, but they have taken a lot of damage, and now here comes that push that you were talking about as Falcons eliminated.

02:28:36 Three bubbles. Piercing spikes. There's just sheer chaos going in with the shotties in the middle and Liquid Alienware trying to stave off and survive if possible. Rex though grabbing some Nox and TSM. They win again. How if TSM won that? We'll run it back, don't worry.

02:28:59 TSM und die Team sind in der Mitte der all das. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen. Und dann hat Zapp gewonnen.

02:29:28 I don't know if Liquid moved too soon. Again, we'd have to watch it back. But certainly, I think Liquid pushed up and took advantage of seeing Falcons a little bit exposed. But by doing that, maybe exposed themselves. It was a very minute decision you had to make as well. Because it was only mere seconds that would have made the difference. But perhaps had they waited those extra couple of seconds, the focus could have been elsewhere. And maybe TSM would have taken more damage. But 17 points for TSM. And they will find themselves.

02:29:54 mit einem Glückwunsch da. Und das sind zwei Teams, die auf der westen Seite waren, die sich überwinden können, und finden einen Ort zu kommen. Moise hat das auch gemacht.

02:30:06 Ich bin jetzt auf der anderen Seite der Match Result. Ich bin jetzt einfach so viel Zeit, weil viele Teams haben 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf das Endgame, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 0, in Bezug auf 3 Kp. Aber es war wirklich schwer für sie. Wir schauen uns auf die Top 3 Teams, da gibt es einen Team, der sich aus wie...

02:30:32 Und das ist das LG. LG, wir haben eine gute Priorität zu haben. Sie haben perfekt. Sie haben eine gute Zone-Redeutung. Sie haben eine gute Zone-Redeutung. Aber die E-Side-Redeutung wirklich hat. Sie haben sich das LG-Redeutung auf die E-Side-Redeutung. Sie sind nicht mehr dabei, ohne dass das LG-Redeutung. Das ist eine andere Spiel, wo sie nicht gewonnen haben. So LG-Redeutung mit der Zone-Pull.

02:30:54 Das ist die Art der Cookie-Krumbl. Manchmal ist es, wenn man TSM hat. Sie sind 7 points off von Matchpoint. Falcone ist jetzt in dem, 9 points off. Liquid, 10 points off. Sie sind die Teams, die sich ein bisschen auf den Topf der Leaderboarden sind. Aber TSM, ich weiß nicht, wie sie gewonnen hat. Ich bin wirklich nicht sicher, wie Zapp kam aus dem Live. Willkommen zu den Meta, weil ich soehr, du musst du von 15 verschiedenen Perspektiven sehen. Slow es down. Manage die Cooldowns.

02:31:22 I don't even know how they're, because you're in that endgame and you're basically like, Jesus, take the wheel. Like something happened or Mastiff take the wheel, whatever it is. Bubble, take the wheel. Just someone. Someone take the wheel. You really need to hope for the best. We all do. We all need to hope for the best. And for the teams that are looking to hit 50 points next game, well, we'll see if anyone can get closer to it. We're going to cut to a quick break before we get to more BLGS Regional Finals for America's Underway.

Matchpoint-Szenarien und strategische Analysen

02:33:35

02:33:35 TSM 2 Dubs in der Pocket and this upper half of the overall standing is getting a little tight, but no team at match point just yet.

02:33:46 We're getting close, though. Look, we were talking about it. We were like, one good game could potentially see that happen. Okay, well, we got a couple people that broke double-digit points, so we're inching closer to that threshold. We're not there yet. TSM, though, off the back of two wins, have the closest potential to break 50 this game if they can get seven points. But, you know, Onset was asking for a lot of things. I want to look at the match rewind, Vicky, because we got to break some things down for that E-District game, because that was one of the wildest ones that we've seen all day.

02:34:13 Ja, ich kam in ein bisschen late hier, für mein Break zu sehen, die Endgame und habe Onset gefragt, wie TSM war.

02:34:19 Aber es ist der Fall, dass Verhulz so lange als er konnte hier.

02:34:49 As you can see, what this Newcastle wall exactly did in the middle of that fight. That is why it is so important to make sure you have utility like that for the very end of these games.

02:35:00 So is it just Verholz dancing on top of the Newcastle wall around everyone who is just not looking at him? Does he come in with a nice kick from Catalyst to end it? I love that production just slowed that down because it really tried to make sense and the haziness of the chaos. But back to the map rotation here. TSM with a back-to-back baby on E-District. They just know what they're doing over there, which is crazy. Lucky or unlucky for them, we're going to Storm Point where Virtus.pro was able to win in North Bad.

02:35:28 We can see how this is going to play out for them too. I do want to touch up about the last part of that fight there too, where with that Newcastle wall, it's like nobody could really touch Verhulz with the circle closing in behind everybody and everyone's forced to move up and then getting stunned by that Newcastle wall. It's just, it's very jarring. Moving on to Stormpoint and seeing what we already saw from Virtus.Pro though, I think a heavy influence was that northern pad.

02:35:51 Das war's, das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.

02:36:15 Ja, es war eine brilliante Spiel-Storm-Point-Games aus dem, für sicher. Nwako hat 10 Kills aus. Hopefully, sie können es zurückkehren, und sich weiter nach dem 50, denn wir werden es brauchen. Was passiert in den anderen Regionen, die moment jemand, die sich in der 50-Games flöten, nach der 50-Games, haben wir fast halb der Lobby in EMEA, auf Matchpoint, bei der Ende des EMEA.

02:36:39 Wir haben jemanden zu verlassen, und Produktion hat uns gesagt, wir haben TSM gesehen, in der Matchpoint-Format, zurück zu zurück zu zurück zu zurück. Ein bisschen Hattrick auf uns für die Wins. Granted, wir müssen sie auf Matchpoint sehen, aber sie können Eclipse 50 hier. Sie können.

02:36:56 They absolutely can. Them, and they're not the only ones, right? With like a two-point difference, Falcons are right behind them, and then a point behind Falcons. Liquid Alienware are also sitting at 40 points. It's just crazy. This could be the game where we could honestly see three teams at match point, but it also depends on if we're gonna see any thug out.

02:37:16 Ich hoffe so. Keep things interesting. I know we originally had some contests, right? Sedota Caves was one of them. 100T versus Complexity.

02:37:38 Well, Complexity, unfortunately, we're one of the first teams out on that match. So we'd love to see them run this back, maybe assert some dominance. But we did have some Horizon Lifeline combos coming in from the opposing teams. 100T locked that one in. Rambo on the Lifeline.

02:37:52 You know, I have to say that the way that Monsoon, I mean, I'm not surprised because it's Monsoon, but the way that he runs that Sentinel, he is using it as, like, shotgun when he just runs it down onto people. Looking at the chat, I think Zack was like, you know, you're giving me, like, Rust vibes, like, are you good? You're about to get the Sentinel, like, nerfed. And Mon's like, I'm just, I'm just running it down, man. He's just doing what he does best. Alright.

02:38:17 literally well designed though as the back away literally escaping with one hp complexity having that slight advantage

02:38:28 Little Horizon there for enemy. I like that they're changing things up, right? We already knew Rambo and Design were gonna bring in the Horizon Lifeline combo, but Timmy's got the Charges of Senti. And that feels almost brutal to try and use that against Monsoon. Oh, Hugh, they got the double knock onto Complexity. Monsoon was the last one alive. Design giving him a little taste.

02:38:51 mit dem Sentinels Schock. Die Komplexität wird eliminiert. Aber ich wollte sagen, Tiff, ich sage, dass die Horizon, wenn du für ein 50-50 in Senat ist, ist das beste Weg, wenn du anst du anstattest. Aber es war einfach auf der anderen Seite von Komplexität, und es gibt keine 3D-Party, so sie können besser werden.

Teamrotationen, Zonenstrategien und frühe Engagements

02:39:10

02:39:10 Do we see that same thing occur in Checkpoint? We knew that originally happened, but it looks to be like Purple Slushy is up there in Checkpoint all alone, which is kind of nice for them, right? Considering where that circle is pulling towards Moist Esports, looking for that quick rotate out of Seto thanks to that. But you know who's going to be over there. Falcons are one of the quickest looting teams over at the Mill, so that is going to be a heavy hitting early on fight.

02:39:34 Oh, Moist taking on the fight to Falcons, actually, immediately after taking that evac tower, so that way they could get a scan on that survey beacon over by Mill. Falcons were able to get away and are now playing by the choke closer to Spider Case, but looking at...

02:39:48 This zone here too, look at teams like Gods Among Men already making their rotate over to Cito. 100 Thieves that are going to get information off of that beacon over to the south side after they leave Cenote. But sometimes we see this zone either pull towards that choke closer to those houses that you currently see Falcons in, or it could pull south side by the hilltop. But because I feel like this is more encapsulating that northern part, I feel like it could probably pull north more than anything. We could see a betrayal though. We could see that bounce back. We have seen it already.

02:40:18 Do you know how many times we've been betrayed by a zone like this? I would play for Third Ring. I would play for that scan. 100%.

02:40:27 Es ist nicht Wulti. Das ist nicht Wulti. Das ist nicht Wulti. Das ist nicht Wulti. Das ist nicht Wulti. Das ist nicht Wulti.

02:40:55 Especially for everyone that's been running triple takes today. Like every single player. Triple takes, four days. Oh look, another triple take. Hey, there you go.

02:41:09 Got the little layout right here, too. It's Falcons that are on that south side. Purple are over to their north, though. Just have to watch out through that choke where you usually see teams go through the bunker. But Falcons have their priority over the team that they have right behind them before they find themselves getting pinched. They're gonna be able to try to see if these spiders can help them out. Yeah, at least get yourself a little bit closer to purple if you can. I mean, granted, we're like a thousand off, but it's fine. Get that smart loot. Make yourself feel better.

02:41:36 Plus, you're taking up a large presence here in this chokepoint, so people are maybe going to tier from rotating in so crazily. Because you know Moist, they're already over there. They got that information from the mill, and a lot of people are going to be looking for that as well. Furia, likely. Tripods, though. A heck of a game in that first Stormpoint map trying to get towards the north. So, it was a big journey for them, hopefully. They don't have too much issues as they come in from the eastern side of things.

02:42:05 too much here they got that blue evo on that rotate tripods already making their next move though entering into cascade where i believe there's another evil harvester in the distance yeah you can already see the ping there too other squads though in the vicinity with thuggets playing up the low ground of cascade and leave no witness already leaving the survey beacon that's in that lone house up the hill by wall so nice clear path in here for tripods while they're trying to prioritize their evil shields

Taktische Manöver, Team-Konfrontationen und Zonen-Vorhersagen

02:42:36

02:42:36 Let's take a gander here. Beautiful little freak ham shot. Just land the land. You got the tripods up top. Cascades near the waterfall. Taking some little pokes. Just being like, just so you know, guys. We know you're over there. Come out and fight us. Come out, thuggets. Thuggets are defending that ring console with their life, though. Saying that out loud, I just, I can't. I'm not over it. I absolutely love that name. So I was sending a message. Tripods also doing something similar, though.

02:43:04 Just trying to get their information. Jet looking to see if he could probably try to snipe that evil harvester while the rest of his teammates are still by that survey beacon. Falcons haven't left from the southern building here too. Talked about showing presence by that spider cave. They heard a potential standoff that was by the choke exiting into checkpoints from the vault tunnel. Moisten a little bit of trouble here as Cenote looks like the action has not slowed down here with VP actually rotating in this direction.

02:43:32 Das ist eigentlich ein crazy work out of VP. This time, last game on Stormport, they were so far deep into the north, I thought they'd be past the wall. But we saw what Timothy was able to do with the Senti on that Complexity contest, and he's just like, all right, VP, you want some? Come get some. The time here for them. Absolutely could take this fight in this zone, sending out that Black Bull. See if Design can try to get an angle, but having to be careful of the height, he's literally in their line of sight with a triple take.

02:44:01 Sitting on the edge of my seat, he survives, pops a syringe, but now keeps him out of the 5-4 now. It doesn't look like he's got big meds to really work with here.

02:44:12 Okay. Alright, Timothy. Hit that zit. Let's go. VP coming on in. Dude, I never called Timmy Timothy. His name in game is Timothy, and now I just want to say Timothy all day. I love that. A long time ago, in the heat of the moment, I was like, Timothy is Timothy, and after that, now I haven't stopped being able to see the Timothy, and now he's rocking it in game. Gotta put some respect on Timmy's name. Oh, okay, well.

02:44:38 Guess you gotta put some respect in this huddle corner, too. LG, got some other plans up their sleeve. So mischievous. Oh no. Is this a point of view of what Onset had to deal with for the BLGS? The live look at what Onset went through during his BLGS grind. No Fred Durst's dad here, but... Wait, what just happened? V beat Dej. Very dead. Remember that Lstar, by the way? Look at that. Look at that! Melted them!

02:45:08 Oh my god. It was looking pretty dire, right? Like the last we saw, Timothy and all of them, they were flesh. They had to focus on those syringes. And the next thing you know, they hit the zip on out. And VP's like, all right, fine, we'll rotate. And they just double back and dumpster straight onto them. Now they can walk out of the ring, hit a south side rotation where their biggest threat is going to be none other than our lord and savior, Evan Verhulst.

02:45:36 Big E, man. That was such a clutch in that last game. Now 100 Thieves are going to be rolling out of there. I like their decision making to actually just circle keep that team, VP, who kind of had no choice but to either contest them or to wrap around. Maybe they didn't have a lot of meds to work with there too and they wanted to try to push on that advantage. Looking at a nice overhead though and what's happening over my checkpoint because this zone, by the way...

02:45:59 is pulling more so slightly to that south side. Still, the choke that Falcons was sitting in before is still safe. But if the circle does continuously pull over to the south, then that's going to be a very difficult rotate once you're forced out of Spider Cave. Maybe I like the fact that Falcons didn't commit so far to the north because they can always just double back out of spiders. It's not going to be easy. It'll suck. But for the teams that are still deep into...

02:46:25 Checkpoint, you've got to contend with all five teams ahead of you. Oh, they know you're there. You know, Gibby's massive, so let's be real. We are bigger than the rocks ahead of us. And the shiny beacon that is his arm shield, too. Like, you could try to hide. It also makes noise, so. It's fine, we repeat that. We chill that.

02:46:52 There are so many teams that have to come out of Checkpoint, by the way, that don't have information on where that next zone is pulling, and that is going to be a bloodbath. There's like six teams or so now that will probably be coming out of that north side unless Virtue ends up rotating over by the bridge side into Mill from the water, exiting out of Down Beast. If they don't, they'll be the seventh team that has to come out of Checkpoint. Yikes. I think LG just got the Mythic Bin, so at least their patience paid off with something cool. Oh.

02:47:23 Ich will nicht sagen, Lackluster Day für NRG, aber 100% Lackluster so far? Wir können totalen es aufhören. Wir haben eine Long-Rotation auf dem Downbeast, das ist perfekt, weil sie nicht mit all den Menschen, die von Checkpoint fallen sind, aber sie müssen mit Virtue halten, die in den Checkpoint gehalten hat, aber wir sollten okay sein. Es ist einfach nicht so gut. Es ist einfach nicht so gut.

02:47:45 Exactly, wenn du auf Pride Rock bist hier, wie TSM, bist du in der Lage ist, viele Teams zu spielen, aber du kannst auf die Lippe der Rock sein, mit dem Ring zu sein. NICE! Thermite burning a lot hier von inside! Der Lifeline ult! Wir haben noch ein paar Veränderungen, die in Newcastle und Lifeline kam.

02:48:02 Aber Zack war das Knochen auf Design. Das ist ein Terrible zu sein, die Bins sind. Weil es ein Team auf der anderen Seite ist, und ein Team von Milch, die auch auf dem. Ich glaube, es ist Führer auf Milch, auf 100 Thieves. Und es war Gods Among Men, die auch auf dem.

02:48:17 Oh. Already throwing down the bubble. We have to. But then we have to manage that cooldown effectively. And there's just too much open space. So you think about the options that we're going to have to burn to move forward. Because, alright, well, we'll just all huddle up on this little rock. I'm fine. One Arc Star going rogue. That's a heck of an arm on... Only ahead of him.

Teamkämpfe, strategische Rotationen und kritische Entscheidungen

02:48:41

02:48:41 Es ist perfekt, es ist einfach genug. Sie können in für den 3rd party sein, aber Tripods sind in some trouble. Sie haben die Träne, Leave No Witness. Jetzt sind die Rez. Wands kommen in in Clutch. Mimals in der Feed, Sweep wurde ein Knochen auf Trevstacks und Leave No Witness, nachdem das Rez war. Look at das amazing Passive, Tiff. Das Residual Healung, wenn du das Rez hast, ist einfach so hilf. Ich bin nur sagen, Support Meta. Hit die... Zipta.

02:49:08 Get us up to high ground here at Checkpoint, and maybe we're going for a late evac play. We'll have to wait and see, but for the Havoc here, thanks to that mythic bin from LG. Fuggets have fallen elsewhere, but that frag grenade is actually killer for them. We have all the space in the world here playing around this graph cannon in an epic setup. We should be able to take Oblivion.

02:49:32 Man, even though it's been so long since I've heard the single fire from the Havoc ring in my lobby, hearing it again, sometimes I always have to do a double take, like, oh yeah, that's happening. And when they try to get cheeky with it, it's like...

02:49:52 Extra range inducing, but Nano gets deleted, having to back away and use up a lot of utility just for this rotate, but they're kind of forced to at this point. But there's another team waiting for them on the top of the rocks. It's not just one team shooting at them from the right side, but another squad right above. This is actually so huge for TSM elsewhere, because Gods Among Men have decided to third party Oblivion after undergoing that pressure from LG. So you can already see Nano falls, thanks to Sweet there, finding those angles. The Dark Veil expanded, and we are just full on...

02:50:21 Ich bin nicht sicher, wie lange Oblivion ist, wird es nicht mehr lange sein.

02:50:29 We're talking about the Havocs. Ike's having a little too much fun out here, but lacking on loot, unless he is able to, on this rotate, maybe get something going, but didn't look like he's got a lot of land ammo to work with there. C9 still full blues, also trying to take this fight underneath this building that we saw Falcons in earlier. Tripods have fallen, and C9, I mean, look, we can clear up a couple, we can find some kills, but the reality of us surviving the rotate from checkpoint are slim to none, so you have to...

02:50:58 So we have to go down fighting and take as many people with you as possible. Oh, nice shots here with the triple take. Nani just fracking up even more. Yeah, exactly. At least you're 243 away from purple. 180. Yeah, there we go. And he was able to get the knock too. The two for one deal. That's a nice two for one special. Give me a more. All right. So we want to just immediately full send, throw the piercing spikes in and the punishment is real safe.

02:51:25 I'm just saying, Nani, how do you think you were going to get out of there with nothing but a scratch? When the Bogo deals comes with its own set of terms, then you can't really capitalize out here. Wall coming up from the cat on the other side just to block out and isolate this fight if they can. I know Stallings is playing on the edge looking at this teamfight. TSM, though, still trying to harass. I believe it was 100 Thieves that were on top of that rock. They're still all huddled up on top of there, too, but TSM can't really fully send it because Gods Among Men were still behind them.

02:51:55 See, we knew this was gonna happen. Let's go for the bubble fight at Cloud9, and you got Naughty just diving right in there with the PK. You get a shot, you get a shot, and finally they fall. Sauce picks up a couple more KP for them, and we can start rotating towards that choke point. This is that rotation I was talking about that was going to be an absolute detriment towards their endgame, and Purple Slushie seems like they're not gonna get on out of there. We are moving straight forward to the home of Liquid Alienware and Falcons.

02:52:23 Oh, and that was when Falcons had moved when all these teams were fighting to their north. So they had time to move in here because a lot of the action over by Mil and to their north allowed them the time to come exactly into that position that they found themselves in by that building, by Liquid Alien, where LG are actually looking at the fight happening in that same building. Meanwhile, the bombardments are in every corner of this zone. You got a bombardment inside one of the isolated houses by the Survey Beacon and on top of this Rob.

02:52:49 Now, this has to be really quick and careful because Gods Among Men are still on the outside. They have not rotated in. 100T went elsewhere, left this rock to TSM. And honestly, I don't blame them. If you see Evan Verholz and Coaches running straight forward towards you, you give them a little bit of respect, especially after that E-District map. But the Falcons holding that home, keeping this team ahead of them on that fence line. I'm holding space for the Falcons to make a comeback and hit that 50. I say make a comeback, but they're like in second place.

02:53:18 Sie sind gerade da und sie haben so viel verdammt. Sie haben das K.P. noch nicht. Und wenn sie fühlen, sie können sie für ein Tränen gehen. Zero ist ein Schuss. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber. Er hat einen Schraber.

02:53:38 Das war nicht genug, ehrlich gesagt. Sie waren 42 oder so, ich glaube. Ja, so... ...einhalb sie die Damage nicht haben, sie haben das K.P. das sie brauchen. Aber jetzt haben Liquid Alienware. Sie haben die Kraber in Hand. Sie haben die K.P. Und das ist ein Team, das ist also neben TSM, glaube ich, mit 45 Punkten. Ich glaube nicht, dass sie genug gemacht haben.

02:54:00 And TSM only needed 7 points coming into this, and now we're into the top 10. And you're right, a little Freshie Kraber in the hands of Kurev, only missing 2 bullets. We got 10 shots, and they are lined up and ready to see that team rotate off of that.

TSM erreicht Match Point nach intensiven Kämpfen

02:54:15

02:54:15 I'm just really curious what TSM's gonna do. Like, my thing is, if you've got a new castle wall, you can kind of effectively jump forward, but it's pure open space. Only a shrivel of the mill is going to be in, and all three of these teams are already here, and it's gonna be Fury at just barreling forward. These massive shots. These massive shots, sometimes...

02:54:37 Grasping at my heart, now Furia preventing the reset, getting even more KP out here. Not also lighting up the feed, by the way, with the triple take. Was able to harass that team. Eight squads left, and Keon stuck in the corner. Gonna be able to pop this shield bat. You talk about just an inch of mill in that zone, and Furia looking to see if they can stay in this. Oh, no. Oh, wait, we're good. I was like, please tell me they moved it far enough. But TSM, they're in. They walk right in, because there was just so much chaos in the mill. We've got a rock. It's fine, because LG...

02:55:06 They got a fence. We're fine for now. Ish. Beautiful. And they had to burn up the bubble here, too. It's nice. When Furia was moving up, you could see on their mini-map, once that circle stops pulsating, you know you're already in that next zone. But now forced to move up. TSM taking some free shots. Furia in a lot of trouble. Wait a second. This is so good for TSM. If Furia ends LG, which they just did, TSM is going to be able to third this with no issue. Oh.

02:55:34 Oh, they get even more KP. I wonder if that's enough. I know they're very close to it. I believe this sets them up for like 48 points or so. I think that was it, though. I think with that extra KP, they've officially gotten 52 points. TSM is officially at match point. Okay, TSM. We love that energy out of you, especially after that last win on E-District. The back-to-back already. Maybe they hit the back-to-back-to-back. We asked for a hat trick, but Kyurev, four bullets and a Kraber can really change some things up towards the endgame in the top five.

02:56:04 Und wenn du connect? Grove Trident again. Liquid harassing the team that's stuck in this corner. Possible 3P for TSM is actually crazy. The cat wall is coming up, preventing Team Liquid from capitalizing off of the kills that they need. And they can't give up the space yet, too, because there's a team underneath them. Oh, Kurev does drop Sykes from LG, so they're just keeping that pressure. But this moist TSM battle right here, it could be ice.

02:56:30 Oh! Oh, Bubbles!

02:56:57 Oh mein Gott, Moist and TSM, still alive. Gods Among Men, they're in it to win it too. You see Dig just down there, the Dark Veil on the other side of things. But it's gonna be Liquid Alienware, if you're pulling out a Sheila in the endgame, Yazl, this is insane work out of you, especially with that boost coming in from the walls.

02:57:26 Oh, TSM get eliminated, Moist staying alive! Oh my gosh. MG gets put up here, but they are feeling so much pressure from the other side. Here comes Funk. LG needed to pop off and Liquid Alienware with Mizul taking out the Shmiro, looking to play. They're looking to be the second team to make match point.

02:57:45 They could do it. If they win here, they have enough KP. I see at least three assists. So we are putting in the work to breach that match point alongside TSM to go into win condition. But that bubble, it'll be a nuisance. But Yaguaris is so patient. And Waltz is right in for the final kill. Liquid Alienware do it here on Stormpoint.

02:58:06 Liquid with the patience paying off. Huge shots, too, from Kuriv, by the way. Like we saw in that feed, with that Kraber, moving in Niazul with the Sheila, when nobody's looking at them because they're so fixated in these bubble fights. Big game here for Liquid and Alienware. Two teams now sitting at match point. Yo, Vicky, I'm not gonna lie, that's my nightmare. You're just trying to live your best life, play a game, and you just got Niazul over there, just Sheila-ing it out. Oh, my God.

02:58:36 I feel for everyone that loved me that had to go against that. Tramper is like my sleep paralysis demon. Every time. Like, for some reason, it's just Sheila. Like, I will respect somebody so fast if I see that Sheila looking at me. Like, I don't con that, especially if I know I've taken even a lick of damage before that comes out. No way.

02:58:53 And I told you earlier, I'm the one that will literally throw my body at the Sheila, so someone else. I am the sacrificial lamb that is just like, I'm going to run straight for the Sheila. Someone else just hit him from the side, okay? Just, this is me dancing in front of it. Nah, not anymore after witnessing that. Not anymore.

02:59:10 No, but it was a really good game, though, for our teams that were able to call out that zone. It was very tricky for the squads that had to come out of Mill holding onto that house. I mean, Falcons did call it. They rotated really fast after they were by that building closer to Spider Cave. But it was just very difficult for them to find space when there was two other teams. Also, just one team on top of them inside that building, another team neighboring the other side of the wall on the outskirts of the same building they were holding down. And then another team holding the fence line in front of them.

02:59:40 so close, but they did not achieve that 50 points that they needed to meet match point.

02:59:45 That is just so tough, right? Especially if you've got teams eclipsing that. But to be fair, in the earlier region in EMEA, the first teams that we saw break 50 didn't always close it out. Like we went the distance. We had nine games. So we could see an absolute marathon of a series here for the Americas. Or maybe it closes out in our next game. I'm not sure. But here are your match results. Liquid Alienware put 19 points on the board. LG, the team that you were talking about, just kind of holding up on that fence line. They still walk away with seven kills. And the fact they even got them.

03:00:14 Die Fensline ist verrückt, denn es war nicht so gut für sie da bei der Cannon. Ich war auch noch zu sagen, dass LG in eine wirklich schwierige Position war, wo sie 13 oder so waren, so sie deshalb brauchten sie das nice Spiel, wo sie das K.P., 7 K.P. zu ihrem Namen, Moist mit 8 K.P., sehr gut auf der ersten Seite für dieses Match. Ja, es wirklich war. 16, 14, eine große Spiel von Godsabung Men, so shout-out zu Digg und alle über die K.P.

03:00:42 Das war schwierig. Cloud9, ich dachte, würde eigentlich mit mehr KP aus der initialen Rotation gehen, aber die Fakt, dass sie zu 11.

03:01:03 Ich glaube, es sagt etwas, weil sie die letzten beiden Bullets in die Purple Slushie waren. Aber wow, die Series scoreboard ist. Wir haben die zwei Teams, die es. Wir haben so, Vicky. Wir haben so. Ja, wir hatten eine Team, zumindest in das Spiel. Und jetzt haben wir auch noch mehr Teams in der nächsten Spiel. Ich meine, es ist so sehr, sehr, sehr auf dem Board. Even C9 mit 38 points. Eine große Explosive-Game könnte auch für das 50-point-threshold sein. Sheesh. Das stimmt.

03:01:31 Moise Esports only needs 5. 6 für Falcons. Oh, look, you said it. Cloud9, they can do it. That's only 12 points.

03:01:39 Shubi kann auch ein 10 von ihm selbst. Ich fahre.

03:02:06 We need to convert it. We need to convert some kills, right? So they can hit 50 at this point. I want more teams on Matchpoint. I want to go into an endgame and see like five to seven, but we're going to get there. It's only a matter of time, but our first two teams eclipsing 50, which means more chaos action. So I'm going to go ahead and throw it to something super sick. It's going to be that champs promo because Sapporo Japan is looking super crazy for the end of January.

03:02:46 Und die Frage auf jeder Meinung nach ist, wo wir gehen für die Jahrzehnte 4?

03:03:11 Willkommen zum nächsten Mal, Sapporo!

03:03:53 I can't wait Dan. Genuinely, this is going to be an experience of a lifetime.

Ausblick auf die ALGS Championships in Sapporo und Analyse der Teams

03:04:19

03:04:19 It's getting closer and closer, isn't it? And I know it's going to be a little bit chilly out in Sapporo, but there's going to be plenty of heat in that arena to make sure everyone stays warm. I think it's going to be an event that everyone will remember for the rest of their lives, whether you are a player, spectator, part of the staff, or even just watching from home. I really think it's going to be a spectacle. Yeah, I can't believe how quick the tickets went. That was the craziest thing to me. This is the Sapporo Dome. This is a huge place, a big old venue.

03:04:44 ALGS fans have certainly turned up. To the point where more tickets had to be released. They had to find a way to get more people in. So it's going to be extremely loud. It's going to be a full house. And honestly, man, I think it's going to be very, very special. And the BLGS is a perfect way to kind of warm up for it, right? Because we get to see a little bit of E-District, which of course is going to be played at Champs. We get to see the form of some of these teams. And of course, we get to see a hyper-competitive finals lobby with $100,000 on the line. That's what we're seeing right now. And I almost thought for a second...

03:05:10 We were going to see history start to repeat itself with TSM going back to back to back. But it wasn't to be. It's Team Liquid who take the win in that game. But both them and TSM now on Matchpoint. Yeah, both on Matchpoint. And I think that, you know, TSM with the way they've been playing so far, maybe going to this as favorites, just their positioning seems incredible right now. They're going into all of these final circles with a chance to win. And if they can do the same on World's Edge, by the way, I think...

03:05:36 Maybe one of the best places that we could be for their opportunity to try and win this is a map that they're very familiar with, and they get two stabs in it. It's going to be World's Edge back-to-back here in matches 6 and 7. So I think we might see someone take it here. I know I was joking at the start of the broadcast where I was like, yeah, 14 games or whatever, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see it in 6 or 7.

03:05:54 Yeah, it's a very interesting one, right? Because it's not just the two teams that have got to Matchpoint that have the chance, of course, to win the tournament now. Everyone else behind them is so, so close to that threshold as well. So it's not just a case of, for some of those chasing teams, like win the game and you're on Matchpoint. It's like, have a good game and you're probably going to hit Matchpoint. Get a couple of KP and into that top five, you're probably going to hit Matchpoint. So we really are in an interesting game in the series now when it comes to Matchpoint, because it's not just about winning it, which is the opportunity, of course, is available for two teams, but...

03:06:23 If you don't win it, it's going to be a number of teams you would expect to be joining them with the opportunity should we go another game. And it is great to see TSM up there. I know that, you know, they've been through many up and down, but the fan base have stood by their side for quite some time. I know a lot of fans or some fans left with Hal, but TSM still have their fans behind them. And to see them at the top still succeeding despite the changes, I think is always a good thing for Apex because it's such a big organization as well.

03:06:50 Ich meine, Verhulst und Reps sind zwei von den nicesten Leuten ich ever meet habe. So, zu sehen sie immer wieder succeeding ist großartig.

03:06:55 Was haben wir gegen Zap? Ich bin wirklich nett. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht

03:07:25 Es war die Skynades, die ein bisschen ein Blender haben. Sie hatten einen Spiel auf den Backen. Die Bubblefighten nicht gehen, obwohl es eine große Anzahl gab. Aber in der Ende, hier sah man einen Spieler alive, von Funk, von LG, die in die Top 3 geteilt. So ein guter Spiel von LG, aber es ist Liquid Alienware, die nur die Zeit haben, um diese Final-Pieße zu holen.

03:07:49 Es ist wirklich unglaublich zu sehen, wie das Spiel verändert hat, jetzt die Schotguns sind so wichtig. Ich meine, ich habe einen Zeitpunkt, wo es all SMGs war, und viele Controller-Player waren absolut auf der Welt. Aber jetzt mit Schotguns einfach in der Meta ist, dass die M&K-Player plötzlich plötzlich auf den Topf des Spiels sind.

03:08:08 Ja, das stimmt. Jetzt geht es zu Worlds Edge, wo viele Tournamenten haben bereits gewonnen, wo viel Geld gewonnen hat und viele Champions haben gewonnen. Und das ist wo wir uns für Match 6 und wie du sagst, Dan, Match 7 auch, sollte wir da sein. So, die opportunity ist hier. Jeder hat die meisten Erfahrung, of course, auf Worlds Edge, wenn es die Kompetitive Landschaft gibt. Wir werden sehen, ob wir es wiedersehen, wenn wir es wiedersehen, wenn wir es wiedersehen.

03:08:35 Will it be here, done on Match 6? Now remember, in Match 1, TSM did lose a player right at the very beginning, because Gods Among Men decided to drop at Trials, and also Virtua dropping at Skyhook East, so TSM were contested slightly, they were in between people, and I think TSM now knowing that, recognizing that, looks like they will not be dropping anyone over towards Trials or too far East. Yeah, TSM have decided to just play Sky West, essentially, they're going to give up Trials, like you say, Gods Among Men.

03:09:05 Es ist eine smarte Entscheidung von TSM. Es gibt keine Egos zu sehen hier. Und warum würden Sie, wenn Sie die Hardware haben, um es zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen. Es geht um ein Spiel zu gewinnen.

03:09:34 Ich denke, dass man einen Spieler vielleicht einen Blick auf einen Blick hat. Die Eggshell-Mini-Dome ist neben dem, dass sie das Loot wegnehmen können. Die Dome wird auch eine Ring-Console geben. Sie werden auch ein Mann-Scan geben. Die Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo.

03:10:01 und Skrims und was nicht. Vielleicht war ich ein bisschen mehr von ihnen. Aber es ist nur Match 6. Es ist definitiv eine Möglichkeit, dass sie wieder zurückkommen. Wir haben gesehen, oder wir haben gesehen, in EMEA, dass wir all die Way zu Match 9 waren. Zone-Wise, by the way, wir vielleicht beobachten das Eastern Side an der Moment, aber es wird über den Westen, wo wir starten zu head. Down towards Thermal Station und Staging ist wo die Zone ist. Furia und 100 Thieves currently in den surroundingen Bereichen.

03:10:29 Ja, 100 Thieves might have it as well. Furia already moving to these double houses. Always remind me of like, you know we talk about those like horrible new build estates in the UK. These two buildings remind me of it and I don't know why. Like the two exact same buildings right next to each other.

03:10:58 Just copy and paste. We call this the Bovis Buildings. You know exactly what I'm saying if you live in the UK. Fury are making their way here. Already managed to get up to blue as well. So they'll be pretty set for the long game. You can see that they've kind of given up a little bit of their loot rotation to leave as quickly as possible. But 100 Thieves was looking down to see if they had a ring console. I think they might have one. If I'm not mistaken. No, it's not. It's the Survey Beacon. So they're not going to have the ring console information.

03:11:26 Ich glaube, es könnte eine solche Zones sein, wo wir sehen, dass wir es in den Zonen sehen, und alle denken, das geht aus der Southside. FURIA macht es eine gute Rotation. Aber wir haben, Wold's Edge ist das eine Map, ich würde sagen, wo Funky Pulls passiert. Und das könnte das Dorito zurückgehen. Also, wir werden sehen, wie das Dorito spielt. Und es gibt Teams, die sich da zu spielen, das auch zu spielen, das wird ein bisschen später sein. Ich glaube, Thug-It wird die nächsten Team, die gehen auf die gleiche pathen wie FURIA. Aber wir haben mit Falcons in der Momenten, die haben zu dipen aus.

03:11:55 Ich habe den Balloon geholfen, weil sie ein bisschen zu viel dämlich gemacht haben. Ich habe sie zu re-thinkt. Oder sie sagen, wir haben genug Informationen, die wir wollen, und wir können einfach mal ein peek auf das Team. Ja, wir sind einfach nur in das Team. Ja, wir sind einfach in das Team. Ja, wir sind einfach in das Team. Ja, wir sind einfach in das Team. Great Schatz, by the way. Auf die Zeros. Oh, jetzt haben sie geholfen. Look, da ist die Team behind dem. Er wird der Evac. Und das könnte wirklich Scupper-Falcons-Rotate sein. Das könnte sehr frustraten für sie zu spielen.

03:12:24 Das ist für TSM. Ich glaube, sie haben keine Trials. Ich glaube, sie looten die Reminderer von Trials, nach Gods Among Men hat geblieben. TSM wird jetzt nicht schadet God's Among Men auf der westen Seite, durch Lava Fischer. Du kannst auf der Ring-Control auf dem Weg auch, wenn du brauchst es. Es gibt auch eine Survey Beacon in Mirage-Atois. Plenty von Evo-Shield possibilities und Informationen zu bekommen, auf der westen Seite. Und es sollte relativ klar sein für TSM, auf wie schnell sie move.

03:12:52 Wie fühlst du über Evo-Bilties? Als wir lernen können, wir können einfach sagen und machen was wir wollen. Evo-Bilties? Ja oder nein? Ich liebe es. Gut Reaktion. Ja, ich liebe es. Team Liquid, die wir uns in der Vergangenheit haben. Ein bisschen weiter für sie zu gehen, als sie auf die Choke nach Harvester gehen können. Oder sie werden durch Landslide gehen.

03:13:17 Should that take their fancy? Looks like that is going to be the choice for them. Oblivion taking one of the Boba's homes away and they're going to be arriving at the same time as another team as well. It's going to be 100 Thieves who are in the vicinity too. Oblivion lose two. Nano left on his own.

03:13:32 What can you do on your own with an Eber 8? Be an Eber 8, a book that will never be written. Oblivion go down, 100 Thieves will survive. Remember, 100 Thieves did drop down here. And they'll now be able to hold their ground. Can Rambo and the rest of the boys actually do anything from this position? Because you mentioned it, you know, we were trying to see, was there a ring console? I don't think they had one. Now elsewhere, Purple Slushy, taking a little fight here. I guess VP are on the other side of this, excuse me. No, it's not, it's going to be.

03:14:02 Bubble's actually being eliminated at the hands of the Lone Sharks. So the Lone Sharks starting to find a little bit of momentum here. Big fight that they win early on. Should be able to reset pretty comfortably here over at Lone Sharks. Nobody near them. Closest team to them at the moment is over in Lava Siphon. So they're going to be absolutely chilling.

03:14:19 Es gibt ein paar Teams, die für ein paar Zeit bleiben müssen, und die Zeit müssen, um die Spiel zu kommen. Aber es gibt viele Leute, die versuchen, ihre Weg in die Zone zu versuchen, und etwas zu versuchen, die in die Zonen zu versuchen, die in die Zonen zu bekommen haben. Vertuspro könnte vielleicht sein, aber jetzt ist es nur auf der Ebene, wo sie in den Momenten gehen können, und sie können vielleicht auch ein K.P. durchführen. Es ist Liquid Alienware, die sie auswählen, aber TSM sind in der Distance, in der Horizont.

03:14:54 Noch ein bisschen Zeit für VP, um zu setzen zu Ende der Zone zu sein. Keine Ahnung, wirklich zu ihnen ist, was sie ein Problem haben. Alba hat sich jetzt wieder zurück in den Stallion gemacht. Moist, die Team, die so, so close sind, um zu crossen die Threshold und Matchpoint zu kommen. Nicht ganz da, ja.

03:15:19 Es gibt ein paar Teams, die ein bisschen zu ändern, weil sie hören, die Schuss sind, und sie versuchen, dass sie vielleicht auch, dass sie das. Und Moist ist, dass sie die Verwärter weitergehen. Die Verwärter werden nicht überrascht, dass sie nicht überrascht werden. Sie werden nicht überrascht werden, dass sie nicht überrascht werden. Sie werden nicht überrascht überrascht werden, und sie werden wahrscheinlich überrascht durch den Harvester. Aber es wird von East zu West sein sein, wenn man sieht, wo es wird, weil wir weitergehen, weil wir weitergehen.

03:15:46 Und auf die Gebäude, wo FURIA ging sehr early auf. Und die Pills, die nur noch von ihnen sind. Das sind die Primär areas, so diejenigen, die zu Thermal kommen, werden sie ein bisschen struggling. Oh, look at the train station, just outside of Thermal. Wir sehen ein paar Teams machen ihren Weg, und einer ist Thugget. Trevstack ist zu sein, dass er zu sein, zu sein. Käfer wird ein paar Shots-Off für den Triple-Take, zu versuchen, das Evo. A long way zu gehen, though, für sie zu kommen, especially für den Mann auf der Schrein.

03:16:25 Es wird sicher sein, in dieser Neck-Zone. Führer wird einen Knochen geben. Keon wird einen Nade gegen Kimchi und Kimchi wird es umgelegt. Ich würde sagen, begrudgingly. Es wird er sich in die Position zu bekommen. Nein, keine Rez für ihn. Grenade wird ihn aus, Ashley. Ich spreche zu Ihnen. Sorry, Kimchi. Es ist völlig Ihr fault. Ich hoffe, es hat mich nicht geholfen. Er ist strong.

03:16:54 Es gibt Apple Cores auch. Ich würde gerne mal in das gehen, weil ich ein Apple Cores habe. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich ein Apple Cores habe. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich ein Apple Cores habe. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich ein Apple Cores habe. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich ein Apple Cores habe. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich ein Apple Cores habe.

03:17:22 A win, a win. And a top 5, I think it was, in the previous game as well, with a couple of KP to go alongside it. One of the teams who is on Matchpoint, if you're just joining us, of course, firstly, welcome. Secondly, two teams who are on Matchpoint, Liquid Alienware and TSM. They can win it right here, right now on World's Edge if they do manage to close this out. Moist Esports are looking to fight TSM, though, on the northern side of that zone, as you can see on our map overhead. It's a big fight.

03:17:48 Was happens here? Oh, there's a lot of damage that's been taken on the TSM side. You can actually see Moisture actually taking a fight with Zap. Zap's fallen. So TSM is just going to be a 2 here. And they're going to have to see if they can find out whether they can get back up to a full 3. And they even escape, that's the question. It looks like they are going to slide down towards the graveyard, but...

03:18:10 Koi is already having to look to see if he can hunt them down. His eyes are far better than mine because I cannot see through that zone. Especially with the resolution I have my mom on. I also can't hit shots like that. Well Hulse has gone by the way. TSM fans you might have to wait a little bit longer. Just close your eyes and pray and hope for the best.

Intensive Kämpfe und strategische Entscheidungen auf World's Edge

03:18:37

03:18:37 Might not be the game for TSM. Which does open the door for a lot of other teams to start to play catch up and get closer to match point as well. You mentioned it, there's a few teams that are just so close.

03:18:57 Ja, der Zone Shift ist was wir bereits erwähnt. Es wird gleich zu wo Furia wurde, so ein guter Weg von dem und ein guter Prediktion. Und jetzt Furia wird wirklich gut sein für das Endgame sein, aber es ist alles gut, aber es ist alles gut, dass du es in diesem Ort, aber kann du eigentlich zu tun? Das ist die Frage. VP, ein bisschen mehr von dem hier zu dem Sider-Sider-Mirage. Ein bisschen mehr von dem Skynate, aber das Skynate ist nicht nur auf die Shield, aber es ist auch noch ein bisschen zurück. C9.

03:19:26 Das Dorito-Bilding hat sich schon erwähnt. Das Spiel kann enden in der Killfeed. Zero hat sich geholfen. Moist wird auch involviert. Und all of a sudden, du siehst V.P., du siehst du siehst, als Moist macht die Rotation von der northernen Seite dieser Zone. Von der Seite der Map, ich würde sagen, in die Zone. Und sie müssen sie in den Zonen haben.

03:19:53 Oh, Slither. Taken down by Zynute. Team Liquid are also going to be moving up in the Zip, trying to get a little bit of high ground, and actually they zipped past anyone that was going to meet at the top of Staging. I don't hate this spot as well. You've got to now try and move through the south-east side of this, and maybe you can pick off one of those teams as you get towards the buildings, and you might actually be able to play near the buildings as well. It's all well and good being inside the two buildings that you were speaking of, but there is plenty of...

03:20:19 Ja, es ist interessant. Take me back to previous seasons. Where Team Liquid are playing right now isn't playable. Too many angles that you can be shot from. But knowing that you've got Newcastle and Gibraltar, you can just get walls down. You can make this work for you. You can wall off your back as Waltz will also fallen. Falcons now down to one. Hal is going to be the last alive. Hasn't fallen quite as yet, but it's Lone Sharks. 39 points at the moment. This is doable for them. Fifth point.

03:20:47 5th place, excuse me, in the overalls. Old Hell gonna be dropped off here from Noct as well. Gonna then give me the opportunity to get his ult back. But Liquid just using the natural geometry, the undulations. You're welcome. Of the ground around you. To make sure that they're not visible. Liquid Alienware, suddenly the team to watch here.

03:21:15 This is the play. This is a big play. Huge play. I'm holding my breath for them. This is what I was talking about. Playable space, you can go underneath, you can go around the side, and then they've gone in the building. This is going to be a siege attempt.

03:21:33 Ich glaube, das ist das Team. Das Team ist das Team.

03:21:55 Well, TSM, von der Death, we thought maybe they were down, maybe they were out. Like a phoenix from the ashes, back in the game, back as a full three, and they take down Cloud9. And whilst I thought all the attention was going to be on Team Liquid Alienware, TSM still have something to say in this game. They're going to take a similar path that Team Liquid Alienware just did. And it may be a very similar rotation, but perhaps not straight into the building when there's two teams there. So we check in with the Lone Sharks just on this south side.

03:22:22 Well, the thuggers have just been eliminated. That's good news for TSM because they were the team who were pretty much holding the choke that they're gonna be forced to rotate through. So TSM might have a window of opportunity here as NRG will also be eliminated in 13th position. 12 squads now remain as TSM have made that rotation. They are forcing their way towards this zone.

03:22:48 They're not safe. They've got a little bit of time. They don't have to worry just yet. But that zone is going to be closing in shortly. You can see the enemies in their sights that are going to potentially be stopping them from making this rotation. Oh, Reps is taking a lot of damage.

03:23:04 Und er ist einfach nur auf seinen Fee, aber er ist nicht auf seinen Fee, aber der Bubble geht um für den Rest. Der Bubble geht um, aber das bedeutet, dass sie nicht die Bubble haben für den Rotate gibt. Sie müssen die Kat-Wall nutzen, um den Kat-Wall zu finden. Ich denke, TSM wird zu sehen, ob es eine 3rd-Party-Opportunität gibt. Wenn es ist, dann TSM wird es glücklich sein, aber die Utilität hat sich gespürt. Think about Liquid Alienware, die andere Team sind auf Matchpoint, wo sie sind.

03:23:31 Well Liquid Alienware have been able to take control of this entire building as well.

03:23:50 They are very much in a position where they could win the Regional Finals of Americas here in BLGS. Now Moist Esports is starting to full sender as well. Good damage done initially. The Rez is going to be pulled, but actually it's a fakeout. And it's a back and forth with these Rezes. What can you do with a Triple Take? I don't think it's going to matter because Complexity have jumped straight down on this Moistagon. 100 Thieves are gone as well. As Complexity on the far southern side of this... western side of this zone, excuse me.

03:24:16 Use that zipline to get involved in this fight LG now looking to have a little bit of a complexity party as well

03:24:23 LG Complexity, Gods Among Men. The other team is on this west side. A lot of damage. Now it's just down to sweep, but I'm not sure even he can survive this. LG Eliminated Complexity have done so well to be able to fight Truth and Nail to stay alive. But now Kim Chi, the last remaining player, does have Purple Shield, though. Should be able to get Monsoon back on his feet, which he does. And actually, the full reset is probably going to come through because Gods Among Men are not sending this. Yes, Leave No Witness are doing damage from a distance, but...

03:24:49 No one is able to jump on it. So Complexity get the chance to reset. But now the ring's about to come in. They all have to move. Furia, Liquid Alienware, Leave No Witness and Lone Sharks are all within the zone. But Stallions, God Among Men and Complexity will have to move. Leave No Witness. A lot of the damage done to LG was by their Gibraltar Ultima.

03:25:08 Und die Faktor sind in eine Position, die in die Zone ist, bedeutet, dass sie nicht wollen, dass sie es nicht gewöhnt haben. Sie wollten es nicht gewöhnt, dass sie einen Team gewöhnt und versucht sie an den Kampf aufzunehmen. Aber jetzt haben sie keine Chance. Sie müssen die Kampf aufzunehmen. Die zwei Bubbles gehen, aber die Gap zwischen den beiden Teams ist so schwer für diese Mastiff zu wirklich haben.

03:25:28 Well, if Liquid can deal with Leave No Witness...

03:25:58 They will control one side of this zone. They will have the western side all to themselves. That's why they're focusing so hard on them. As you can see on our map overhead, they can deal with Leave No Witness. Then they have the entirety, almost 50% of this final zone to themselves. Everybody else is stacked up. Lone Sharks will have to move in through the lava. So the air rotate is going to be pretty tough. But this is the focus now for Liquid. If they can deal with the team in front of them, then there's a real opportunity for them to win this whole thing.

03:26:29 Honestly, it was the... It was the Zipacross. It was that big play. It was a risky one, and they certainly could have been punished for it. That may be enough to give them the chance here to win this entire thing. They've got the high ground, and they also have a lot of shields to work with as well. Lone Sharks are Mountangoating up the side of that rock formation to try and have a presence in this endgame as well, so don't count them out.

03:26:57 You have to wonder if anyone realises this is Liquid Alienware as well. If they do, expect some Bullets to be going their way. And only one other team, I believe, has crossed the Matchpoint threshold so far. I think Moist have been able to move over. They'll be on Matchpoint if we get to a Match 7. So they'll be alongside TSM and Liquid Alienware. Still waiting to see if maybe the likes of Lone Sharks could get there. They're currently on 44 points, I believe. So they would certainly be close. And a win would take them there as well. But Liquid Alienware, where do they go from here?

03:27:27 Last time they were in this position, they made the right choice. But this decision has even more pressure on it. $100,000 in this lobby available. $40,000 if you get first, and they are going to try and clear this west side. It is going to be a bubble fight here. They're going to have to move forward. They're going to be able to reset, but they have to take this fight. Have to take the fight. It could be isolated because of the wall, though.

03:27:54 We will see in Match 7, but who else can cross that matchpoint threshold? Who else can join the likes of Liquid Alienware, TSM and Moist? Lone Sharks, the next team to focus on here. And you mentioned the Mountain Goats are beginning to climb, but they have been spotted out.

03:28:21 The Stallions have seen them, but the Stallions are also under pressure themselves. Stallions are only in two as well, and Stallions are going to try and send it maybe to find a couple more KP. Not going to happen, but that's certainly going to upset Lone Sharks for sure. Gonzo Mung Meng, they're gone. Stallions eliminated. Leave no witness who had essentially how this competition was going to finish in their hands. Now find themselves with a chance of winning this. The Lone Sharks, I think, have done it. I think they crossed 50.

03:28:47 Die Stahl-Einser werden nicht überrascht, aber die Lone Sharks, die Mountain Goats, werden.

03:29:05 A massive performance once again from the team from South America. The Americas scored that for a reason. And a big, big win put them on the cusp of Matchpoint as well. That was a very, very intense game. Liquid, they knew what they had to do, right? You saw it a couple of times. They knew what they had to do. The fact that they had to use that bubble, I think, just hurt them a little bit. They had to. They had no other choice with the damage that was coming in. The counterslam onto the Newcastle wall.

03:29:33 Das war der Spiel, aber sie einfach nicht gewinnen. Ein paar Shots kamen in von den Bildern, neben dem zu dem, für die Position, die sie waren in. Das war das, dass sie nicht gewinnen können. Und das ist verrückt, wenn Liquid da drin ist, in sechs Plates overall, mit nur vier Plätze. Aber das war die erste Performance, die wirklich wichtig ist, wenn dieses Tournament endet war, und sie waren zu gewinnen. Natürlich war die Möglichkeit für Team Liquid, aber...

03:29:58 Again, there was just so much happening. So many teams alive. I think they were maybe hoping that a few more teams had gone down. So it was an easier route to navigate. But in this meta, a lot more teams are surviving into that late game. TSM also gave it a good stab at trying to find victory in that one. They got back up to a full three. But sadly, they were just caught out in No Man's Land with their pants down a little bit. And everyone took full advantage. NRG, five points. They were able to put four kills on the board. But they're going to be a little ways away.

03:30:27 from getting onto the Matchpoint threshold. It's going to be four teams going into Match 7 on Matchpoint. Okay. These are your four teams. Liquid Alienware, TSM, Moist and Lone Sharks. You would say from form in scrims and in the build-up to this in the qualifiers that they're the four teams that if you probably had to put money on it, you would have been picking as the four teams to make it up there. The consistency of their performances in this matter has been notable.

03:30:55 And now they have a chance to close things out. Leave no witness with that win. Jump up seven places into fifth as well. Just three points away. Furia three points away as well. Falcons close, but not close enough for their liking at the moment. They would love to be one of those teams who are on match point, but not quite there yet. No, there's definitely a few teams that are going to be closing in, but will it be one in match seven? That is the real question answer. Yeah, it's time for me to send myself on a break.

03:31:22 This is the new thing for me, by the way. I quite like it. I've done enough here. You have such power, you can send yourself on a break. I'm taking a break, everyone. See you in a bit. Good luck. Am I going to be left on my own again? Oh, thank goodness. We wouldn't do that to you. We really wouldn't leave you left hanging. I know we're not as cool as Onset, but it's fine. We're back. I think you're cooler. He's gone now. I don't have to lie. We're also not alone. We've got a special guest.

03:31:47 Get in here Jumba. I've had so much fun meeting Jumba at Past Lands and it's really cool that we get to bring you on for a halftime and just kind of pick your brain as a special guest for the Americas BLGS Regional Finals.

03:32:03 Hey, how's it going? There we go, homie. There he is. I'm good. How are you? Thank you so much for joining us today. Yeah, I'm excited to be here. Yeah, like you were saying, you know what? I miss all you guys. I haven't seen you all in a while and, you know, it's good to get to chat again. Yeah, it definitely is. You locked in for Japan. I know you've been creating a lot of content. You've been doing some competing. You going to Sapporo? I mean, maybe yes, maybe no. Like, we'll have to see, you know.

03:32:33 Das ist vague. Ich liebe es. Das ist was die BLGS ist all about. Aber das ist sick. All right. So, ich bin glücklich, dass wir hier haben. Ich weiß, dass wir dich hier haben. Ich weiß, dass J-Hawk mit dem EMEA-Region gesprochen hat. Und ich bin gespannt, was du gesehen hast, was du für die Amerikas gesehen hast, wie du fühlst, was wir sehen, was wir sehen. A lot of bubbles, a lot of Newcastle, chaos.

03:32:54 I mean, I've been loving this meta. And then on top of it, because of the fact that teams can stay alive more, we have E-District in the mix with a lot of the buildings. We're seeing these wild end zones with like 10 plus teams going into round six. I think it's some of the most exciting apex we've seen. I also think this is the most competitive we've seen in the Americas region, right? We saw what that leaderboard looked like after three, four games. There was like a 10 point gap between, I think, the top 11 teams. So it just shows that everyone's competing at their best right now.

03:33:24 And I think that is a little bit to contribute to that double reset meta that we got right now. Yeah, you're not wrong. And I love that you highlighted a lot of those endgames because specifically with E-District, we were seeing some pretty chaotic ones, even Evan trying to just go on crazy on one in particular. So I would love to actually go ahead and roll some footage from matches four through six. And you kind of walk us through what you saw in those endgames.

03:33:48 Fürsure. Ja, so match 4, going into match 4, coming off a TSM win, as we had said, you know, we had 3, er sorry, 10 teams, we're all about 11 points away from that match point threshold, so they're still open to trying to play aggressive, pick up some of those kills to get to that match point, since they're about 20 points away, but, you know.

03:34:06 When you see teams like Falcons with Red Armor, TSM in this final circle, and then even Liquid, who's putting up a lot of KP, but surviving so long with these bubbles here. You're thinking, okay, is this going to be the game? But then we have Evan go absolutely crazy. Just, you know, find ways to get that KP, stay alive the longest, and close it out here, and go for a back-to-back win. So it's pretty exciting there for, you know, the TSM boys.

03:34:33 Dude, das war so großartig hier. Aber für Nummer 6, wir haben auch sehr ähnliches Chaos gesehen. Nicht so verrückt als Klutch, aber Moment hier, Jumbo, wo Falcons waren so close zu hitting Match Point, aber unfortunately, sie waren nicht able zu finden. Wir haben einen Klutch mit dem Kreber gesehen, aber dann haben sie einen Klutch mit dem Kreber getrennt.

03:34:50 Ja, es ist eine Milz-Zone und Falcons drop Milz, so du denkst, ist es das sie, sie sind sie, sie sind sie, sie sind sie, aber es ist so viel congestion in dieser Zone, viele Teams kommen auf die Edge und sie tun viele Dämmer, sie können nicht den Kampf um den Kampf. Kann man sagen, Funk, wo, sie hatten ein Blind Evac in hier, und sie wurden absoluten Bully bei Kurev mit der Kraber, aber er findet ein Weg zu bleiben, zu pick up KP und zu finish auf dieses Team in 3rds hier, wo er sich selbst in 2nd und T-Lock hat das eine perfekt.

03:35:20 Sie hatten eine perfekte Walk-In, eine wirklich gute Fight-State. Sie haben es gewonnen und das macht sie auf Magic Point.

03:35:27 Wir sehen es hier, aber das ist jetzt mal Nummer 6 und das letzte Mal war es Match 5. Ja, ja, jetzt sind wir in Match 6. TSM, införsually, ging zu einem Solo sehr early auf. Sie haben diese Fight hier, nachdem sie wieder ein Reset haben, und du denkst, kann sie das machen? Aber von SkyWest zu einem Thermal-Zone ist es schwierig. T-Law hat so ein guter Platz. Ich dachte, das Spiel war zu Ende. Die Teams, die in den Städten, 100% der Zeit, gewinnen diese Zone. Aber instead, es...

03:35:54 Leave no witness who killed them take their position and they win the games we were one fight away from seeing this game and right here this tournament end right here today

03:36:05 Und dann haben wir die Stats kommen in als auch von den zwei Teams in den ersten und zweiten Liquid Alienware und TSM. Both waren auf Match Point, aber neither sind sie able zu convert. Aber sie sind beide zu spielen. Vielleicht können sie es gemacht werden hier in Match 7. Jumbo, ich habe ein paar Fragen für Sie, Sir. Die erste ist, du competedst in den BLGS, wie Onset war. Wie war ich es? Wie war ich es?

Jumba GW's Experience as a Pro Player and Content Plans

03:36:27

03:36:27 Ja, so I played in all four tournaments. The goal was to really get the experience of what it's like to be a pro. And I gotta say, I've always had a lot of respect for these pro players. You know, I've always understood the time, the effort, or at least I thought I understood, until I was scrimming four times a week, until 2 a.m. in the morning, and then competing in these. It just gave me such more of a respect for how much time, how much effort these guys put, and then how...

03:36:54 I had to go toe-to-toe three rounds against Falcons, and it was concerning. It was scary. I will say, you know, that lobby did come first and second with Falcons. We had a combined 123 kills. So I say, you know, we did good. We held up. Don't ask me how many of those kills were Falcons, but, you know, it was a great experience all around. And like I said, just gained a huge respect for those pro players and what they put into the game and how good they are. Secondly, you asked me to be on the podcast today.

03:37:22 Did you forget this was happening? Did you forget we were both here?

03:37:27 Well, I got the invite to come here a little bit later. I got this literally two weeks ago. So when I asked you, I didn't know. But I did forget about this today. It was me. I was like, he must be free. He's asking me to do the podcast. So let's get him on everyone. It's great to have you. I appreciate you. But playing in BRJS, did you get further than Onset? That's what I want to know. He got to the second round. Did you get further in any of the days? It may have taken me four weekends, but I did get to third round eventually.

03:37:54 So, yes, yes, I did. Onset, I don't know. 1v1 me, man. Sounds like you suck. Just washed. Whoa, okay. Shots fired. All right. I like it. Every time when he can't defend himself. Yeah, every time. It's totally fine. I'm going to hit.

03:38:11 Ich weiß nicht, dass ich eine weitere Frage zurückgegeben habe, denn ich habe noch einen Hott-Takes gemacht, aber ich möchte Sie ein bisschen weiterentwickeln. Ich weiß nicht, dass du das sehr gut gemacht hast. Ich weiß nicht, dass du das sehr gut gemacht hast. Ich weiß nicht, dass du auch gut gemacht hast. Aber ich weiß nicht, dass du dich ausprobiert hast. Wo können die Leute finden Sie und was hast du gemacht?

03:38:30 On absolutely everything, it's Jumba GW. Right now, I'll give you guys the next video coming up. It's kind of a history deep dive into the evolution of the meta of guns. I know that might sound really specific, but I think it's pretty cool how other things in the game influence the guns that are used by the pro players. After that, I'm working on a story of a team who's had a really successful year this year. They won a LAN and then came really close to winning another LAN. So I'll let people guess that one. But you guys asked me if I was going to Japan.

03:39:00 Again, I'll say maybe yes, maybe no, but the most exciting stuff I have coming up will be during the Japan land. So, you know, I guess kind of stay tuned to see kind of what's cooking up around there.

03:39:12 I mean, it sounds pretty sick, homie. Thank you so much for joining us. And maybe we'll figure out in a month and a half if you'll be over there in Sapporo cooking up some more content for us. But we're going to go ahead and let you go. We got some more commentating to do, some more matches to be had to see if someone's going to walk away with $40,000 and who that's going to be. So thank you. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Have a good one.

03:39:33 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

03:40:02 Yes, see terrifying. Oh, I'm terrified. I'm already you two just have fun for a little bit whilst I Deal with the sleep paralysis demon. I already have to deal with Rampart Are you calling me a sleep paralysis demon? Only the voices that I hear in my head that somehow sound like the voices you make Perfect. All right, I'll shut up now. Anyways, your mash

Matchpoint-Teams und Strategien auf World's Edge

03:40:26

03:40:26 6 winner on the screen leave no witness over there in geyser that's their po i they're gonna have a ring console they're gonna have a survey beacon and well you know the last time we were on world's edge it was a falcons it was a falcons dub it was a long time ago it does feel like water right i mean like oh wait i'm just thinking of matches we're on world's edge after that well falcons won game one on world yeah yeah we just had match six i was also on world's edge

03:40:53 Oh, dude, I forgot. You're making me feel like I'm crazy. Did I just cast World's Edge or not? I don't know. You did, don't worry. It's just me. Oh, we got another South Zone, though? Hey! I feel like I'm getting deja vu. Like, when the stakes are usually higher, we always end up back on World's Edge. Although this time, we got four total teams on Matchpoint. These Southern Zones on World's Edge, it just feels like right at home when it comes to the stakes.

03:41:21 I think so, because, God forbid, Vicky, do you know how many casts you and I have done on World's Edge where we've just called Dwarf Zones all day? That is so true. And do you remember a time where the zones were not only allergic to lava, but then two seasons prior to that, it was always thermal station zones? That's what we just had. Oh, my God. I was here. I watched it. Don't ask me where my brain went, because clearly not in my head.

03:41:48 Listen, Falcons did get a ring console, though, by the way. At Larva Siphon, that's why they've moved so fast. And, you know, they find themselves in a little RV truck, and they can call home for maybe the rest of the game. Also, while we see them with those blue Evo shields, we're able to get that on their rotate here. And already finding themselves bunkered down, at least here, to overlook not only the slight high ground, but we've seen zones literally pull on top of that truck.

03:42:17 But remember, Falcons not all match point. That's true. Imagine. They've been so close for like the last three games or so. Still sitting only at 44 points. But this could be a game where we could welcome even three more teams to the match point club. That is to say though, if it doesn't end here, don't worry though. Onset's not on the mic. We should have some more time. Surely.

03:42:43 Surely, I don't know, Gaskin and I, we saw the chaotic moment when it happened in Amia. We were just sitting there like, what the heck just happened? Because some of these bubble fights, you really do have to slow them down to kind of dictate what actually just happened. But if we're going to keep on going the distance and making it a true series, then I'm pulling for complexity. We need 23 points.

03:43:04 Man, das ist der Name der Gämmen, da auch. Diese Konzenten Reset, Schumbo war's zu sagen. Das ist auch so, dass er das hier ist. Aber diese Spieler sind jetzt noch zu fully engagiert. Moe Zamm in Hand, du musst du hier nicht, wenn du hier bist, wenn du hier bist, wenn du hier bist, wenn du hier bist. Ich weiß, dass sie die Shield-Advanzigte haben. Sie nehmen 2-1 von Complexität, als Monsoon geht. Das ist eine große Herausforderung, weil es hier in der Süd-East ist, wo die Zone ist, natürlich, Pulling-South. Und du kannst die Majorität dieser Seite, um, aufgrund der Launch Site. Ich bin...

03:43:32 Lone Sharks thought about joining this fight, but I think they were just a little bit too late and realized it would be very questionable to join that late in the engagement. Complexity will get away and maybe survive. Maybe we'll be able to get back up to a full three a little bit later. It's fine, Monsoon. Please just craft and get away and live your best life. Frolic in the distance. Frolic in the fields. There's no fields. There's no building. They're not going to let him do this, right? Like, surely.

03:44:00 Wait until they find out, try to get the banners, yes! The MVP play absolutely loves seeing these type of clutches. If he could pull this off, it would be absolutely huge. And that other team shooting at him from that console station actually could save him. Looking at that team that's looking at them right now. And Monsoon cannot get an angle. He has to hide behind the Moby. That's a perfect fit. Oh no! Do you have a bubble? Do you have a bubble? Oh, he used it earlier.

03:44:29 Bully, go away. We need the cooldown to come off. Bullets bubbling forward. Oh, there it is. Too late, though. The chow came in. Wait. Don't throw this bullet. Wait, there's spaghetti all over the floor. All right. A little messy there, but they were able to find Monsoon. Good attempt. Unfortunately, he had used that bubble to get the banner, so that's why he didn't have it in that moment. Wow, they committed so hard to that fight that Lone Sharks were able to swoop on in and almost...

03:44:57 Ich habe sie gesagt, dass sie es in 14 sind. Sie haben sie Zeit zu gewinnen. Nein, ich nicht. Ich meine, das ist ein HELL-O-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET-SET.

03:45:21 Ich sage es nicht, aber gleichzeitig, was Jumbo zu sagen, wie viel Contested Amerikas ist jetzt. Nur vier Teams sind in Match Point in Match 7. Das ist nicht so unmöglich, dass wir in den 10s und übernommen können. Wir werden sehen.

03:45:36 Imagine how hyped that would be, though, especially if Lone Sharks were able to win this. Watching what we saw from EMEA, from Danish, winning that 40k in first place. Unsigned, by the way. And if we see Lone Sharks also take that dub, another unsigned team further highlighting the talent that we have within the competitive Apex scene. You'd love to see it.

03:45:57 As TSM, I was thinking, looking at how south this zone is, and TSM usually landing over by the west side of Skyhook, now they have a bit of a trek to go through when it comes to getting into that next zone. But at least they will be able to have some resources that they can take advantage of so that way they can boost up those EVO shields. Okay, TSM, get that ring console.

03:46:17 Now we can see where it pops, and well, leave no witness, have found themselves in a good spot, so it's Liquid Alienware, but it's that low ground that's going to be difficult to play around, especially if you've got to deal with Virtus Pro that's in the main building over there at Lava, and a couple of teams still trying to make their late play from that western side of things. Yeah, both Liquid Alienware and Lone Sharks in good spots as our Matchpoint teams, whereas TSM, of course, have to move all the way from the north and Moisty Sports.

03:46:43 Wir sehen uns beim Geyser aus dem Moment, aber für sie zu kommen, dass das E-Side ist, ich meine, Burtuspro wahrscheinlich hat etwas zu sagen. Sie sehen, sie sehen für eine Öpning für sicher.

03:46:59 Let's see here, with the way that VP also trying to rotate on the outskirts, maybe trying to see if they could go to that evil harvester, but Moist taking the evac tower right on top of them. This circle is going to be volatile for the teams that are going to be caught out in the open, right below that platform that we usually see by Geyser.

03:47:17 See Liquid Alienware and Leave No Witness actually hanging out there over to that north side of that console we were talking about. Lone Shark still holding onto that south side too. Because if anything, the team that comes out of launch site on this rotate where that hilltop right next to where Falcons found real estate inside that truck could be the best place to hold as long as your backs are clear. Yo, hear me out. I like this. If they can clear out this side of the map.

03:47:41 It's important, right? But if you're Furtis, you want to just keep on focusing on that rotation. But Moist is like, dude, we're on match point. We can't afford to go out on this rotate. And if we're the last team on this eastern side of things, then who do we go through? Purple Slushy is doing a lot of holding of space down in the south side of launch site. So if we go all the way through that actual area, it could be difficult. But Split Hold might not be that too effective against Moist. Yeah, Moist did really well to...

03:48:09 Stopp Vertispro from pushing up and take advantage of them being slightly out of position. And in the open, again, another benefit of this meta, having the bubble to be able to throw down just to save you in those environments. Like, there was a time where if you were caught out in the open like that, you may have just had to hope and pray of like a Dark Veil to save you or something. But the bubble just gives you that instant ability to stop any of that fire from a distance. The constant resetting, the constant bubble parties that we get to see. Furia.

03:48:38 Just trying to see if they can get information on the team that is on top of them on that platform. Perhaps unless they may have space to try to rotate there instead. If it is free for them to hang out or maybe get right behind a team that has already given up that space to move up by the tricks that we saw Falcon sitting in. Again, a lot of calm before the storm here for the teams that are going to be able to coexist in launch night. Which is what we usually see before these circles end up collapsing or where these teams are forced to rotate. There's a mythic bin though right there.

03:49:07 Purple Slushie could get it. It's all in their vicinity, and I think one is finally starting to rotate on over to unlock it. Do TSM take this fight? It's Virtue that's gonna be above them. Of course, you're so reluctant to take some of these fights when you are on match point, because you just think, placement, placement, placement. We want to get into the zone. We want to give ourselves the best chance to win, but sometimes you have to take these fights. Looks like TSM are either gonna take the fight or just trying to force Virtue away.

03:49:38 Yeah, they're running. That is actually crazy. But I mean, if you think about that fight breaking out, like you said, then it's getting immediately third party and teams need to focus on that rotation into the next circle. And Timothy?

03:49:53 100 Thieves is dead. Yo, he was trying to dance out of there. All I heard and saw was a bunch of different bullet trajectories with a triple take just ringing in Timmy's ears. Very unfortunate with 100 Thieves falling down. And this is that platform that I was talking about. This circle is pulling away from a lot of teams that were banking on hanging out closer to Tree on that west side of Zone.

03:50:19 Oh, I just saw Liquid Alienware. Dead center. Dead center.

03:50:28 Ja, of course, Falcons, they moved early, didn't they? And they were in that RV, but they're gonna have to move further east. Also, Lone Shark's giving up that building in Launch Site is allowed Leave No Witness to take one of the prime positions, so they will probably have to fight Leave No Witness if they want to be able to win this game. So at the moment, we're just checking in with Gods Among Men, who are also on that western side over by Tree. Oblivion ahead of them, Tripods, Falcons, like, I mean, Gods Among Men. They're gonna have to turn into Gods Among Men if they want to survive this.

03:50:55 Ja, das ist wirklich schwer. Ich meine, L.G. ist immer wieder auf den Weg zu gehen. Und du hast Cloud9 auf den Boden. Plus Falcons. Shube down. Fight gegen Tripods. Kann ich das passieren? Ich meine, ARKSTAR ist zu ARK auf das Entirete der Stairway. Der Fakt ist, dass Naughty hat die Dark Veil hier ist wild. Aber wir haben Shubee zurück auf den Weg mit der Full Reset.

03:51:22 Should be okay here. I do like the fact he was able to block off that sight line from the stairwell, but there's another team on the other side of C9. We knew that there were some teams that were trying to coexist in this area. At least they are in that next zone, so it's not like they would need that wall to come up from the catalyst exiting out of that building, but C9 have just found themselves a bunker down here.

03:51:44 Okay.

03:52:04 Ja, aber das ist okay. Ja, aber das ist okay. Ja, aber das ist okay. Dixun, auf Valk, wir haben die Ults available zu uns. Wir haben die Oblivion, doch. Und nein, bleiben wir hier. Wenn wir hier lose, ist das Unfortunate. Die Bubble, die Newcastle Rez kommen, aber wenn du Trifon hast, du hast Falken, alle auf die Runde hängen. Das ist verrückt. Oh, ich liebe das Spiel. Die Katwahl zu der leften, in case es sind die Teams, die können zu versuchen, die Grand Slam!

03:52:30 Das tatsächlich saves Gods Amongst Men. Like, we get the full reset. We get to chill while Tripods takes down Falcons. Zero, Last Alive, forced to throw the bubble, throw the bombardment, and just back...

03:52:55 We need four points here. And with 16 squads remaining, there's really not much we can do. We have to wait for a ton of teams to fall, just at least get four placement points. Oh, what do we do here? Can't get those banners. You do hear fighting in the distance. They try to fully send it out to zero. There's nowhere to run. Even in a distance, he was going to get griefed by that triple take. I love how both of you were like, what do we do?

03:53:20 You really put yourself in the shoes of Falcons there. You were both like the coach of Falcons. I loved it. Sadly, it didn't help. What do I do? Make the call. B-R-I-G-L. So this is the fight I was talking about earlier. If Lone Sharks want to win this game, they have to kill Leave No Witness. They've been able to clear out the rest of the southern side, but now Leave No Witness is next in their targets. Ooh, he's got that gold longbow though.

03:53:45 Leave no witness, just trying to keep gatekeeping Lone Sharks. Lone Sharks having to make that play. Nice made. Coming in from the skies. Nice little 54. Just trying to force him out of cover so that we can take some shots with this longbow. Leave no witness knows that they definitely have them right here on the edge. Are they going to take an evac tower maybe? Or are they going to try to bait them out making them think they took it?

03:54:06 Oh, Gods Among Men have just arrived, by the way. You mentioned the Valkyrie, they were able to escape and that's them right in front of Lone Sharks, Gods Among Men. Now, Lone Sharks gonna have to back away, but maybe Lone Sharks can just fight with those shots, encourage Gods Among Men to push in on Leave No Witness. Oh, Lone Sharks better have my money when I come to collect pay up. They're here, sliding in with the massive, beautiful shots from Drob. And now they're gonna be able to push back, Leave No Witness, but like you mentioned, Gods Among Men being also right there.

03:54:35 Es wird schwierig werden, wenn Sie nicht mehr tun können. Ich werde jetzt nicht mehr tun können. Ich habe nichts leften. Sie haben, in fact, einfach nur leften. Ja, ich würde so! Ich würde so! Ich werde die nächsten Mal gehen! Sorry, ich habe nichts mehr zu tun. Wir müssen aber nur...

03:54:51 Sharks and Gods Among Men, that is such a powerful fight for them. I know I read that article with Dig and yes, you've got the triple takes coming across Map. Yeah, that sucks. He was talking about how him and Artsy have played together for a substantial long time and have kind of been grinding throughout their journey, just missing out on qualifying for Pro League by one point. But like BLGS has really brought them to the forefront and to be like one of two challenger circuit teams to qualify into this was just a real boon for them.

03:55:23 Man, I love hearing a lot of these ComeX stories and the opportunity that we've gotten to hear from Jumba on how competing in the BLGS has gone.

03:55:32 Für viele Spieler, die hatten die Möglichkeit, es ist immer sehr schön, weil es eine komplett andere Erfahrung ist als Ranked ist. Ich habe immer zu erklären, das zu allen, die immer interessiert sind, in ein Tournament zu spielen. Und es ist einfach sehr unterschiedlich. Du wirst nicht zehn Teams bei Circle 3, you know? Everyone ist literally zu bleiben, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten. Es spielt sehr unterschiedlich, wenn es zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten.

03:56:02 Die Domes haben bereits genutzt, und jetzt wissen sie, dass es die Green Light für sie zu verwenden, denn sie haben die Utilität. TSM, Liquid Alienware, Lone Sharks und Moist sind alle noch immer wieder in den Latter-Cirkeln. Lone Sharks werden einfach nur in den Latter-Cirkeln geholfen. Liquid Alienware werden in den R.V. die wir vorher gesehen haben, und Moist werden von den E.H.

03:56:26 TSM haben sich auf der Norte auf der Norte, so jeder Matchpoint-Team hat sich auf der Norte auf der Norte auf der Norte auf der Norte auf der Norte. Und dann natürlich auch hier in der Mitte. Das ist eigentlich schön, wie wir es halten. Wir haben die Mobil-Shield mit der Perfect-Time, so Nocte kann das Heal in Cloud 9 aufhören. Wir warten für das Bubble zu fallen, und Yanya wird es essen. Ja, Sie bringen die Mobil-Shield auf, aber... ...dang, sie haben genug Yanya auf 5. Sie müssen es in Ordnung machen, aber wir können...

03:56:56 Take half the lobby with us? No, five is not half the lobbies, but it feels like it right now.

03:57:01 Das wird so schwer für jemanden zu gewinnen. Es wird Bubbles galore sein.

03:57:29 Final circle, 10 squads left. Moist are being absolutely peppered right now. Zainu's actually gone down. They weren't able to get the res, so Moist down to a 2. Maybe they can get the banner. Maybe they have a Moby, potentially. Yeah, looks like they do. You can see the Moby's gone down with the bubble shield over on that right-hand side. Oh, but dropped on that truck line. Still looking at it, but that bubble is going to withstand. Should be able to call him back.

03:57:55 Und Zainu ist auf der Weg für Elge. Sie sind nach dieser Wall. Und wir müssen sie in den Weg gehen. Sie wissen, wer sie sind? Stallions und Liquid A-Landware.

03:58:05 Oh Furious staying alive though may have set them up for match point as they get more KP gods among men get taken out loan sharks now move up Still all four of our teams at the moment that were at match point are still all alive and as I said that I just definitely Chris moist they get eliminated TSM now have moved in taking up the spot It was long shot pushed up on some voice there like they absolutely decimated them as soon as they go

03:58:30 Oh, Vicky. Ist es Zeit?

03:58:55 Is it actually time? Let's not get too hyped yet. Let's not get too hyped yet. You're right, you're right. It's not time. It's not time. Kurev with a Kraber in the endgame. There are all the bubbles and, well, drop to the move. I think it's gonna drop full, but TSN still alive and well between the fence and the Newcastle wall with a mobile shield at their back. We've seen Verholtz get crazy. We've seen them clutch something towards the endgame here, Vicky. And now, with that circle starting to encroach, can they hold on?

03:59:21 Ich wusste, Utilizing that Catwall from inside the Bubble, was it on purpose here? Now CSM, Pope, but do not overextend. They know that patience is the key here for these zones. I saw Salavisa for that team who just took the zipline, by the way. And it's a grand slam on the new Castle. All the Bubbles have been used up, and they are falling from the skies.

Liquid Alienware gewinnt die Americas BLGS Regional Finals

03:59:39

03:59:39 From the skies they do, and Neozle just dancing around this fence, trying to pop on up if he can. We're into the final three. It's Stallions, Furia, they fall. It's happening, Vicky. It's the last two teams, Liquid Alien, where are your winners within the Americas region? The nice, patient play at the end of the day. They got so much KP there, too. Nice, patient play to walk up with those massive shots.

04:00:06 Ich glaube, er hat den Ende gewonnen. Wir sahen Wipe zwei Teens oder so. Er hat sechs Kills. Er hat das Ende gewonnen.

04:00:15 Unbelievable, really. Liquid Alienware, who moved so early to be able to find themselves in the middle, in that RV as well, and then to survive in the way they did, I thought TSM were going to have it with the position they found themselves in. But Liquid Alienware are just a different beast when it comes to those close combat fights with the shotguns. They just don't seem to miss. It's also like the energy. Liquid Alienware knows what's up. They knew what was going on. They knew I had to cast game number seven. They couldn't let me down. This is a team that has always got my back.

04:00:45 I'm glad they had your back. And to be fair, when you kind of think about where they position themselves in the RV, if Kurev isn't on Catalyst, that's a completely different story, right? Because we're able to reinforce the doors and just kind of withstand. If it's broken, we just kind of replace that back on up. You throw the piercing spikes out. We even had the Newcastle wall inside along with the mobile shield. It was kind of an impenetrable fortress and they were just able to hold on to.

04:01:11 Oh, my goodness. Lone Sharks 2 were just so close. Look at this. 10 KP for Liquid, 10 KP for Lone Sharks. Furia, this game allowed them to hit match point. Unfortunately, there is no other games because Liquid had to put the conclusion to this entire region. Lovely showcase here, but looking all the way down, Virtue getting that 3 KP, but it was a bloodbath of the spots that had to come out from that Lava Siphon building.

04:01:39 That was crazy. Lone Sharks, though, on 19. FURIA grabbed 15. Still a solid try. And I know TSM, kind of with their backs against that wall, quite literally, did everything they could to try and hold down towards the end of the game. Only to go out third.

04:02:00 Huh no thinking back about that game to didn't team liquid land by like overlook So they also were able to get into a really good spot very early game Dan and actually made note of it Where they were already north of launch site from like the very first circle So they had found themselves pretty settled in there and we're still able to boost up those evil shields from afar

04:02:23 Es fühlt sich so gut für sie. Obviamente, die Veränderungen auf der Röster und wie es war, mit Yanya zu gehen, waren sie noch immer wieder zu finden? Boy, sind sie. Die Champions der Amerikas Region in der BLGS. Das ist die perfekte Weise zu setzen, zu gehen. Lone Sharks kam close, 69 points, nice. Aber sie sind in 2nd place. CSM, wird ein schönes und 3rd.

04:02:52 Das ist noch nicht schlecht, ein bisschen ein Fall von Grace, wenn man nach wo Falcons war, nachdem sie in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1.000 starten in 1

04:03:22 Ja, es ist wirklich großartig zu sehen, wie viele diese Teams waren zu versuchen, zu halten. Es war auch sehr fest.

04:03:31 Ja, ich liebe diesen EndCircle. Und ich bin glücklich, dass wir einen Blick auf den Winning Moment haben. Wir müssen wie Team Liquid haben, wie Team Liquid war in. Also nicht vergessen, ich glaube, es war LowCharge, das war also neben dem hier. Also, die Timing auf dem Rotate, was großartig. Weil sie haben zu Prioritze LG first, das ist gut, weil sie sehen die Bombardierung. Und dann auf der anderen Seite, bei LowCharge, zu. Ja, ich liebe diesen EndCircle. Und ich bin glücklich, dass wir hier sehen.

04:04:00 Once more, because you would have thought TSM in the position they were, there was a fantastic opportunity of them being able to just kind of like fight with their backs to each wall. But actually, because so many teams surrounded them at exactly the same moment, it was so difficult for them to try and navigate it. And in the end, they just got overwhelmed by the amount of bodies. And when you get to this point...

04:04:19 Das ist so beeindruckend.

04:04:43 I'm looking through it, I'm pushing my headphones in trying to hear the audio cues and such, but did you see Verhulz try to reenact what he did on E-District? But a lot of it was because of the electrified Newcastle wall. He was stunned up trying to get out of the ring. He's on one actual HP of White Health with a full shield, just trying to play around his teammates' knockdowns, and then you've got the final bosses of Team Liquid just popping over the fence and just gets eviscerated.

04:05:10 Team Liquid's like, oh, you thought you'd survive, boy. Not this time, buddy. No, I think that all day Team Liquid Alienware have been so impressive. I mean, going back to the previous game in Match 6 when they had a chance to win, where they took the Brave zipline to get into the house buildings as well. I thought maybe it was going to be converted there, but they've been able to convert it in 7. It's not going to be the 14 games.

04:05:33 Ich habe mir gedacht, dass es so close ist. All es braucht nur eine Team zu haben, und Team Liquid ist es dabei. Team Liquid ist auch ein Team. Oh, wow, wie das so schnell passiert? Ich bin nicht bereit für das. Du bist okay? Oh, da ist es.

04:05:54 Wow, impressive. Live editing. Vicky, this is your next job, producer. Having way too much fun. They cannot let us do this. Actually, I may not be down if you guys let us do this again, but I had way too much fun. I was going to say, though, wrapping up my thought, that Team Liquid is definitely one of those squads where when it comes to planning out staying in that end zone, we saw them twice.

04:06:15 Almost win that previous game on World's Edge. We heard it from Jumba. Usually teams that hold those buildings end up coming out on top depending on their positioning and the other teams. But in a meta like this, it's very difficult. They were forced to use their bubble early on. In this case, finding themselves still in the endgame in another World's Edge game and then finally clutching it out.

04:06:39 I can't believe it's over. Like, it's crazy, right? Like, this is what we had. Like, Wig and Greek just absolutely slayed this entire format with all the qualifiers, all the scrims, all the watch parties leading up to this. And for us to just kind of be done now is sad. Yeah, imagine how those guys feel. You know, it's been an absolute grind. And we've just come on in and we're just like, hey, we'll just do the last one. But they've been doing it.

04:07:07 Every week in, week out, countless hours, week was up till God knows what time last night doing APAC as well. So, you know, they probably won't even hear this or see this, but hats off to them. They're two incredible human beings and amazing at what they do. And it's nice to be a part of it. Honestly, I didn't think we would be part of the BLGS. So it's really cool. So yeah, thanks for having us involved. Thanks, homies. You guys are legends. And honestly, didn't they just win Best Battle Royale streamer as well?

04:07:33 They did an award show recently. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The work they put in for competitive Apex to really highlight and showcase all regions. And then it manifests all of that into an award and a full on tournament series where each region has a hundred K regional finals prize pool. That's huge.

04:07:53 Yeah, it's really nice to be able to see that. They've been working so hard for this. Now we finally get to put a pin into it, but it also must feel almost bittersweet that it's finally over. But now looking back at what we've been able to see in all the action, we have to give credit. I want to hear from one person specifically. Let's bring in Kirif to take a look and really talk to him about his outcome and his thoughts over this.

Interview mit Kira von Liquid Alienware über den Sieg und zukünftige Ziele

04:08:19

04:08:19 Hi Kyra, welcome! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Good, nice to meet you. Yeah, you as well. Congratulations on your America's BLGS Regional Finals win! Hey, thank you so much. Now, like, the session for the boys has been great, like, the confidence of the roof. And yeah, it's crazy, you know, like, we come in here to this region and win on one of the, like...

04:08:46 Einer der Tournament in dieser Region ist der schwersten und ich fühle mich sehr gut über das Team und über alles.

04:08:56 I love that, because I was going to say, you're from Argentina, you're kind of the newest member of Team Liquid Alienware, so to get your first big win under the belt for the BLGS Regional Finals, kind of what do you have to look forward to over the next couple of months? Like, now you have this win, you just want to go forward and keep that momentum moving? Yeah, for sure. I mean, for NAS, BLGS is just the first step, of course.

04:09:22 Main objective is to make history in Latin America and be the first team that wins basically an official tournament for Mapex Legends, you know. For now, this is the best team I've been on. Apart from the players, of course, my teammates are one of the best on the world playing right now. I wanted to thank Team Liquid Alienware. If it wasn't for them, I would literally not be able to travel and do all these things that we're doing now, you know.

04:09:51 Apart from film and content, practicing, having all the best staff ready for us, it's like just a dream come true basically, you know.

04:09:59 Yeah, your journey has actually been very interesting to see. We saw you on Eat Cholos. You really made a name for yourself. Now being slotted in with Team Liquid Alienware. You say that this is the best team that you've been able to work with. You guys have been able to find these achievements already. I mean, this is good momentum pushing this into champs. I haven't been able to talk to you very long, actually. So now being able to hear your thoughts and how positive you are, it's very nice and refreshing to hear. Especially since, like you said...

04:10:26 Repping a region that you really want to put on the board. Put some respect on that name. And it's really nice to see, too, for the players that want to be able to achieve the same goal as you. As we'll be looking at your winning moment, I do want to pinpoint the last two games that you guys already hit match point. You guys started playing slower. You guys were playing for the end zone. I mean, who contributes to a lot of those calls on making sure to play as patiently as possible, especially in a meta like this where there's constant resets?

04:10:55 Ich meine, von der ersten Mal kam in der Team, ich war IGL, aber ich fühlte mich, dass alles sehr schnell geht und ich hätte nicht gemacht, dass ich viele Veränderungen gemacht habe. Wir haben dann versucht, Niesel als IGL und Niesel wirklich nicht fühlte, aber er machte die Angelegenheit, damit die Jäuers versuchen, einen IGL zu können. Ich meine, ich war nicht so sicher, aber...

04:11:20 Wir spielen zwei Skrims und es zeigt, wie experienced die Spieler sind. Jaguaris war jeden Tag in Goldspot und Niesel und ich, wir fokussieren auf die Kills, wie wir die Damage haben und so. Eine Sache, die sehr gut ist, was Jaguaris macht, ist, dass wir nicht alles stressen.

04:11:46 We let everything play. We try and play our game. We don't play others game, you know, in the endgame. We just try and focus on winning a 3-3. We're getting the best spot possible and so on and just trying to win every single time.

04:12:01 Obviously, you spoke about competing in the Americas. Competing at Champs is going to be different. It's competing with the entire world. Do you feel like when you get on the international stage, things change with how you play or are you still in the same mindset of you'll play your own game and the wins will come to you?

04:12:18 Ich denke, es wird eigentlich das gleiche oder sogar leichter sein, weil, wenn ich in MAA bin, ich fühle mich, dass es nicht so viel Reine geht, wie in N.A. und everyone in dieser Region schießt nukes, also ich fühle mich, aparte von everyone, es werden die besten Spieler in der Welt sein. Ich fühle mich, die besten Spieler in der Welt sind bereits in N.A.

04:12:48 Wir werden eigentlich sehr gut in Japan, too. Ich denke, so, auch. Ich bin basing es auf, was du hier in der Tournament, wo ihr so-called Best Teams in der Welt in N.A. waren in dieser Tournament, und ihr sitzt hier auf der Topen, um $40,000 von BLGS zu holen. So, ich werde dir die floor noch einmal für einen finalen Gedanken und jemanden, in particular, you want to thank.

04:13:12 Ja, ich möchte einfach zu allen bedanken, meine Familie, meine Freunde, alle, die in die Hoffnung haben. Gehen von Regionen zu spielen, in einer anderen Teil der Welt zu leben, mit Leuten, die du nicht wissen, ist eine der hardeststen Schöne zu machen. Aber alle waren so stolz in was ich gemacht habe, dass ich das nicht konnte. Ich konnte nicht die Chance nicht nehmen. Und ich fühle mich, dass es ein Risiko ist, aber alles ist auf der Ende.

04:13:40 Team Liquid hat uns wirklich gut gemacht. Meine Manager, die wir haben, ist wie crazy. Sie helfen uns mit alles. Und ich wollte sagen, dass ich liebe Saisen. Das ist für euch.

04:13:54 Thank you so much. No, seriously, I love seeing all your risks and your hard work pay off. Once again, congratulations to you, Kira, here with Team Liquid Alienware. I'm going to send you on your way, but thank you. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your positivity, and I can't wait to see what's next. See you. It was nice to miss you. See you guys. Bye-bye. You as well.

04:14:12 Alright, so now that we've said goodbye to Kirov and we'll just also have constant smiles on our face, let's go ahead and get Onset back in here so we can start breaking down some final thoughts because the Americas BLGS Regional Finals is done. And welcome back to Mark and Wig. Can you make that face real quick? I was just curious. I tried to recreate it earlier, but I didn't know if you could try. There's a strong paywall in front of that. One thing I will say, just to highlight here, is...

04:14:40 In recent times, we have had an APAC North Team Winland. We've had a North American Team Winland. And we've had an EMEA Team Winland. And even though this is the Americas, this is a South American team who has just turned up. Latin America who has turned up and won a $100,000 lobby. So heading into Japan, I keep talking about how this is going to be one of the biggest, most exciting, amazing tournaments we've ever had. You can also remember that Dark Zero, two Australian players, they managed to come out and win land as well.

04:15:09 It is truly the Apex Legends Global Series. And I keep saying this. And now we are seeing these regions come through with more practice, with more time, with more established results. And it is the most unpredictable tournament ever. I think if you go into this tournament and you think there's a guaranteed favorite, you are quite simply wrong or you are the biggest fanboy or girl of the team that you support. I think it is going to be insane. And it sets us up so perfectly for the best event ever.

04:15:35 I think what's crazy, how many times have we said Team Liquid, one of the most consistent teams, they're always making finals lobbies, they're always making top five, but they weren't really the team on the tip of our tongues for winning things as much, but now this new look, suddenly they do that, and you go into Japan, they do become one of the favorites, naturally. I know that the meta probably does change before Japan, which maybe is a shame for them, but at the same time, with the practice they've put in, with how impressive they have been, I wouldn't count them out to find success in the next meta too.

04:16:05 Ja, wirklich, dass consistency ist. Die Sache ist, dass wenn es um Team Liquid geht, wie du schon gesagt hast, sie immer nach dem Ende sind, aber sie nie waren wirklich wirklich able, um es zu clutch.

04:16:15 This is a really good example to showcase the cohesiveness of your squad and how your comms are looking. Even acknowledging what Curve said in the interview, saying something like, I realized there was too many changes happening too fast. I wasn't fit to do the IGL rule because I felt like everything was moving too fast. So even switching it over to someone who may not even feel as confident, Nuzul taking that on and kind of sharing that load for the squad, that's a quick adjustment that these teams need to be quick and being aware of.

04:16:44 Having to put pride aside for a lot of players too sometimes individually and recognizing what you have to do differently. Now before the big stage where you're playing against the best in the world, that's a different level of competition to expect. It's a great way to expect the best going into champs here. Alright, well now I'm hyped up guys because Sapporo Japan is what is next for the majority of people that have already gotten their tickets.

04:17:10 Das war es so schnell. Ich möchte sagen, ihr habt viel Spaß mit Ihnen zu sagen. Aber die Champions sind jetzt. Ende Januar. Ihr könnt es sehen, dass der FATE ist. Wer wird die nächste Team hoist die Trophäe auf der internationalen Stelle? In einer der, ich glaube, es ist die größte Dome, die Apex Legends haben, mit den meisten Tickets haben.

04:17:40 Vielen Dank für's Zuschauen!

04:18:08 So amazing. Vicky got a final call. Everything is right in the world. So I'm going to send you guys on a well-needed break for the next month and a half. Because that's all from us, guys. Until Sapporo Japan, we're signing off. I'll miss you.

04:20:18 What? How have TSM won that?
