Pro League Qualifier Start und Format-Erläuterung

00:17:08

00:17:08 BR 4, which is what we have going on today in our Pro League Qualifier matches. And we watched some phenomenal gameplay earlier in EMEA, which means now it's time for NA to show us exactly what they are made of. My name is Glitter Explosion, and I'll be your host today.

00:17:25 Ich weiß nicht, denn Reddragons und EMEA hat uns alle gewonnen.

00:17:45 Dann haben wir noch einen neuen Team in Pro-League gewonnen.

00:18:13 in EMEA PLQ und jetzt wissen, was NA bringt. Ja, Onsetz sagt, dass es einige Names we expect in Pro League zu sehen. Es gibt einige Names we vielleicht nicht expect in Pro League zu sehen, aber es wird ein FUN Day, aber es wird ein FUN Day. Und einige Teams, die zu versuchen, zu regaining ihre Position in Pro League zu versuchen, oder zu kämpfen. EMEA hat bereits gezeigt, dass alles kann passieren und NA oft nicht zufrieden, so ich bin sehr glücklich. Ja, und die Last But Certain...

00:18:40 Wir sehen, was das Desperation kann mit unseren Teams tun, und die Levels, die sie zu empfehlen können. So, sind Sie bereit für mehr Insanity in NA? Ich bin definitiv bereit für die Team Names, die wir jetzt sehen. Es wird sehr interessant sein, besonders auf die Progression, die diese Teams haben in den letzten zwei Tagen gemacht. Viele Teams haben wirklich gezeigt, aber heute ist der Tag, die es wichtig für die Finale ist.

00:19:10 So, can we potentially expect maybe another record in the sense of seeing one team just dominate?

00:19:35 I would say maybe I'm looking the other way, to be honest. We might have a record in the amount of games played before we get our qualifiers. Because, yeah, it's going to be a very competitive lobby. And I think, you know, we were talking to Grace for a little bit earlier in the media broadcast. He was saying he felt like Red Dragon a little bit of a cut above the rest of the teams in the lobby with, you know, all the due respect in the world to those teams. And it showed when we came down to the end of the day and when we saw them win so quickly. But you're looking at this lobby and it's like, I was watching some of the games yesterday. I was watching some of the games in the qualifying the previous rounds. And I'm like,

00:20:05 It was tough to get through into this lobby today. So I think just making it here is an achievement in itself. But you get so close, you got to, you know, make sure that you go that one step further and get into Pro League. And I think it's going to be a lot of big fights today, shall I say. Big 3v3s that could decide who goes into Pro League and who stays down, unfortunately, trying to look in and view from the sidelines. Yeah, absolutely. Obviously, the ultimate goal of today.

00:20:28 und wir sagen, das ist die Pro-League Qualifier. Aber wenn du hier bist, ist es ein klein, klein bisschen anders aus unserer Standard Format. So, lass uns das alles darin für dich, so dass alle anderen wissen, wie das funktioniert. Denn für die Pro-League Qualifier, wir eigentlich mit 30 Teams starten. Die 30 Teams waren aus den Bottom 8 Teams von Pro-League und dann die Top 22 Teams von der Challenger-Circuit. Und die Teams haben bereits seit ein paar Tagen.

00:20:57 Das heißt, wir haben es durch unsere Winners-Round-1-Elimination-Round-1 und Winners-Round-2, das führt uns hier zu heute für unsere Pro League Qualifier Match Point Finals. Und Match Points Format, das ihr alle an-homenschen sollt. Aber wenn ihr nicht, das heißt, die Teams werden Punkte für jeden Match bekommen bekommen, und die ersten Teams auf den 50-pointen Threshold bekommen, und dann gewinnen ein Spiel. Und was wir gesehen haben, ist das passiert.

00:21:25 in 3 matches. Absolute insanity. An important thing to note here is that if we do hit match point early, we will always play at least 6 matches to ensure that everyone else in the lobby has an opportunity to really fight for those top 8 spots that are available in Split 2. We said we'd never seen it before in our Amir show, well now we have, so we'll see what NA can bring to the table. And then a final note here is that the top 10

00:21:52 von Winters 2 haben die Advanced Starting Points.

Überraschende Team-Rückzüge und Teamvorstellungen

00:22:21

00:22:21 was a team that was surprisingly relegated after Split 1, and they were a team that we were expecting to compete very well here today in PLQ. But they were unable to field a full roster after some changes to the team, which means they actually won't be competing here today to keep their spot as they parted ways with Panders and Zara. And this is a big surprise here, Vicky, but I'm sure that there's something in store that we don't know about yet.

00:22:50 Ja, absolut. Ich meine, mit diesen Chancen kommen, das bedeutet sie nicht mehr zu spielen heute. Ich glaube, das Spot war früher zu Casual Gaming und jetzt mit dem Sitzung, das also bedeutet, dass Teams wie CCE und Eterno nicht mehr zu spielen heute sind. So, ein paar Chancen gehen in, was wir erwarten, in dieser letzte Lobby hier für viele andere Teams zu finden, um die Chance zu finden, das Spot, die sie für für Split 2 Pro-League sind. Ja, absolut. Definitiv ein paar Implicationen.

00:23:15 Let's take a look at the rest of the teams who are participating in PLQ today. And let's start talking about them because we have quite a few recognizable names on this list. Whether that's our pro league teams who are potentially relegated and hoping to keep their spot right now or winners from previous challenger circuits.

00:23:35 Marc, start with you for this one. Which of these teams have caught your attention so far? I mean, I'm always looking at the teams who didn't quite manage to stay in Pro League and are having to fight their way back in now, the teams who are relegated. So I'm looking at DNO, you've got Doob, you've got Prodigy Aces, and you've got Rogue, you've got Meat Lovers, who are in 23rd. There's tech, a little bit of a change to some of these lineups, as you can see from the teams you saw in Pro League, with ETH and Serial Cat.

00:23:58 Ja, sie wissen, was zu erwarten, wenn es das Level zu sehen ist.

00:24:18 I want to pose the same question to you. Tell me about some of the other squads on here that you might want to be keeping your eyes on. Well, we have to look at the teams that have dominated in the competition so far. We saw Tripods dominate in Elimination Bracket Round 1 after struggling in Winners Round 1. Of course, featuring the likes of Omnu, no Nick Merckx on the Tripods roster anymore. He has stepped aside, but it's still a very exciting team. You've got the Bergottas, who have been able to dominate in Winners Bracket Round 1 with three victories. But then in Winners Bracket Round 2, we saw the Edgers find not only three,

00:24:47 Wins, but also two second places and the third place. Six top threes out of eight games. The Edgers absolutely wiped the floor with Winner's Bracket Round 2, and we'll have to see whether they can carry on into today. Yeah, if that's the type of consistency they bring to the table, then we might see a repeat of what we got out of Red Dragon. I don't know. Vicky, do you have any last points on teams that you want to make here as well?

00:25:11 I feel like we're gonna go to this since I'm hoping that I we always get more apex glitter so we're gonna have to wait and see and hopefully we didn't call the match point after just three games alone

00:25:22 I think everybody at home needs to be ready for the action because we've got so many great teams here competing today. But if you have some favorites that you want to be keeping up with at home, well then you need to make sure that you check out Face It Watch, okay? Because it has literally everything you could possibly need. Not only can you watch up to four team POV simultaneously, but you have a dedicated map POV and live team comes with an audio mixer that allows you to adjust and balance.

00:25:49 We'll be right back.

Match-Punkte-System und Map Rotation

00:26:14

00:26:14 Let's do it. Let's get into this thing. Let's get the PLQ rolling down. EMEA was certainly a trendsetter for records being broken and somewhat of a surprise. Like we mentioned a little bit earlier, three games is all it took for Red Dragon to close things out and solidify their spot into Split 2 Pro League. But you look at this lobby now, you look at some of the names that are in here, you look at some of the history in here. I mean, you've got ALGES Championship winners in here from the online days in OnMoot. And I mean, there's a lot of talent.

00:26:40 Ich finde, das ist nicht ganz einfach so easy zu finden, um das Spiel zu finden, um das Spiel zu finden. Ja und nein, ich glaube. Wenn du aus was Edgers gemacht hast, dann ist es ein Potenzial, dass sie mit der Art und Weise weitergehen können. Ich meine, 3 Wins, 6 Top 3s.

00:27:00 Ich denke, dass sie das gleiche ist. Aber wenn sie unterperformen, ich denke, du bist richtig. Ich denke, wie competitiv das Lobby ist und wie viele Teams sind für die acht Spots.

00:27:22 Everyone's going to be giving their very best, and we might go the distance to break records the other way, potentially, because this is a lobby that features teams who have been through the ringers, really, like some team changes that we've seen left, right, and center. We've seen Albert Lely change how many different teams before, and he's found a new roster, so this is going to be an exciting day. It certainly is. Let's take a look at some of those points, like you mentioned, of teams coming in from their performance yesterday when we talk about match points. Some of them do have...

00:27:48 We'll take a little look at that so you get an idea at home exactly where everybody is from those placements. The edges, like you mentioned, they already have 10 points in the back towards that 50-point threshold. LMAO, they're just in behind them, 9 points. Temple with 8. Bear Guatas are going to be behind those with 7 points. Stallions with 6. CC with 5. DNO, Fury, NG, NL, and Meat Lovers, respectively. You can see just kind of trickling down to that 1 point for the Lovers.

00:28:15 Now, let's look at the map rotation. We're starting on World's Edge once again here, Dan. It's going to be World's Edge, two in a row, then two Storm Points, then two World's Edge, and it will keep going in that pattern until we have our Column Pies.

00:28:26 Ja, und während EMEA wir nur gesehen haben, denn Matchpoint wurde erstmals gewonnen, und das war nur Stormpoint. Und das ist etwas, was wir schon erwähnt haben, dass es für die Leute von Worlds-Edge lieben ist, denn ihr könnt es ein bisschen mehr spielen. Aber natürlich, wenn wir weitergehen, wenn wir weitergehen, wenn wir weitergehen, werden wir mehr von Stormpoint sehen. Aber es sieht aus, wir sind in der Dropship, und Match 1 ist gerade bereit. Und wirklich...

00:28:51 I'm torn here for how this one is going to go, Mark. I think that we have to keep an eye on the edges and how they perform. It's going to be a hell of a day of action. We love watching these PLQs because it is so unpredictable. We don't know what anyone's going to do. None of the teams know what each other are going to do. They don't know where they're dropping. It's all going to be fun. But kind of off the rip, we were expecting maybe a few contests. There was none to be seen. Is that going to be the case here in North America, though? Let's find out who our eight teams are going to be who join the Split 2 Pro League.

00:29:19 Ja, und sehen, ob wir irgendwelche Hevi-Circle-Puls sind.

00:29:23 Die Far-Korners von diesem Map haben wir ein paar Mal gesehen, und es macht für ein bisschen mehr Predictable Rotation. Wir haben nicht so viele Zentral-Zones, die sind ein bisschen schwieriger. Sie müssen ein bisschen schwerer kämpfen für sie, und vielleicht wird das wirklich verändern, wie es für Nord-Amerika geht. Aber ich bin nur nach dem Map zu sehen, ob wir keine Teams haben, die sich gegen einen anderen fighten. Aber es sieht aus, dass alle sehr gut sind, und alle haben ein Haus hier auf World's Edge gefunden.

00:29:51 Yeah, I'd say the only two teams who are close to each other are one that's on our screen right now, an LMAO, and Meatlovers, who are landing over a Staxx. So usually you see both of the POIs kind of being collected by one team, but they're being split for now. We'll have to see if those two teams do engage with each other. The Staxx does have a Survey Beacon to play with as well, which may change the path of where a couple of teams want to go, especially LMAO.

00:30:15 Ich glaube, sie haben eine Ring-Console, so vielleicht werden sie auch auf das Info geben. Aber als wo der Zone ist, es sieht man, wir gehen zu den Norden. Als wir sehen, ein Mitglied von Tripods hat versucht, um den Dome zu holen zu holen. Aber es sieht man, dass sie aus dem Dome kommen. Aber es sieht man, dass sie aus dem Dome kommen. Aber es sieht man, dass sie aus hier sind.

00:30:33 Ja, Meatlovers kind of being sandwiched a little bit by Tripods and LMAO. They have to be careful because not only were Tripods trying to steal a couple of things from the Meatlovers, but they had also pushed themselves into stacks. They were spread a little bit thin. So for Meatlovers, you've just got to be aware of that potential kind of...

00:30:51 Ja, ja, bud.

00:31:15 I'm gonna try my best. Dan's gonna try his best as well to make sure that we don't mess that up. If we do, I don't want to see any clips going about Twitch chat or YouTube, wherever you're watching right now, okay? Let's be responsible adults. Let's look out for each other today. But they're in zone. They're in a good spot. Yeah, I'll be looking out for people calling for fines to be had, but I'm a constant professional always.

00:31:35 And I'll be making sure that I am on top of things. Now Temper are going to be hitting that Survey Beacon to get any information as to where the other teams are going to be rotating through. As we see, Puckyear are going to be making their move as well. A lot of teams moving early here because when you get a zone like this, once you've got the ring console information, it is a little bit more predictable and we're going up towards Survey Beacon.

00:31:53 We certainly are indeed. It does look like Server Camp is going to be where we are going. Epicenter is going to be a good place to hold. Maybe some of the high ground for the later game where you can work in from the icicle side. But also tough as you've got to go across some of that open ground that we all know about where that snowy texture finds itself. Team Brown, by the way, some of the team names today. Very difficult to say with a straight face, but...

00:32:15 Ja, jeder bleibt separat.

00:32:42 Just focusing on getting those EVO Harvesters, getting the EVO Shields leveled up as best as they can before they even consider engaging. We did see throughout EMEA that teams who prioritized playing around the edge, getting those EVO Shields up to at least purple, if not red, depending on their composition, if they had that lifeline available, they did succeed. They did have games where they were able to just bully their way into zones because they had those shield advantages. So we'll have to see whether that happens again for any of these squads.

00:33:11 Another Survey Beacon going to be hit as well. You can see that was Respawn Village just outside of Fragment. That was ICBM elsewhere. You can see Temper now who had a pretty good run coming into this lobby as well. We mentioned that they have, I believe it was eight points if I'm not mistaken, coming into the lobby towards their match point total. They're at the moment just holding down this building completely.

00:33:34 Und ich denke, das ist ein sehr smartes Ding zu tun, auch zu halten, für ein bisschen mehr Zeit, ich würde sagen. Weil du nicht ein paar Teams zu tun, dass das Survey Beacon auf den Weg ist. So, wenn du jemanden zu versuchen, einen Late Rotate zu machen, du kontrollierst das Bild und du keepest sie auf es. Das ist die Information, die du nicht, als die Nrg-Fans, die vorherigen Nrg-Fans würden. Der Baer hat bereits einen, Pain hat einen, und es geht darum, zu versuchen, etwas zu versuchen, hier, als Recon geht es mit den R99. Er hat sich schnell zu seinem Team-Mate, die in sehr viel.

00:34:04 We will collect the spoils of those loot boxes to make their rotate a little bit easier for them with a few extra...

00:34:33 Ich weiß nicht, dass die Edges von Namen oder von naturen sind, aber in dem Moment sind sie in die Zentral-Zone ein bisschen mehr.

00:34:51 Now we're starting to hear all the commotion that was happening towards the edge. They do start to make their way towards it and perhaps try and pick up some extra KP. But they are playing patiently right now. As I alluded to, they were incredible yesterday. Over 100 points. 113 points they accumulated across eight games, which was extremely impressive. If that form continues, they are going to be a real threat in this lobby. Well, I actually did reach out to them, ask a little bit about the team, how they're getting on, and they said they're...

00:35:17 No name is the edges. They've got a very strong mental game, unrivaled focus, and they don't mind waiting for things to happen on the map before they make their decisions. So like you say, pretty good performance yesterday. We'll have to see if that continues here as they're in and around Monument for now. Meatlovers, by the way, just look at how they're playing at the moment. Very deep inside of Geyser, just making sure they're kind of pathing towards as much EVA as possible. So you mentioned one team who are...

00:35:39 But should I say, teams who are arriving late on the edge of the zone towards the endgame, having those purples and reds. Well, Meat Lovers look like that's going to be their plan of attack here in this game.

00:35:48 Yeah, Meatlovers are very much playing the Patient Game right now. They're gonna be one of the last to arrive, as well as Fury, as well on that western side. They're gonna come through Landslide, potentially through that little choke where Tempo are gonna be holding on the village building. And I think, going back to your point about Tempo, I think that is a really good spot to hold, because there's a lot of unplayable areas, potentially, in where this final circle's gonna be going. So instead, you stay safe for as long as you can, you gain the information from the Survey Beacon, and then you try and play an emptier area that you've gained from that information when you...

00:36:18 Es ist ein guter Spielplan, wir werden sehen, ob es geht.

00:36:37 Legend that kind of has fallen out of the meta just a little bit. Someone that we used to see pretty much all the time in Conjure when she was first introduced. Well, obviously there's been a few nerfs to her kit, understandably so as well. She was very strong, but I still think that it's something that's going to bring the value here. Yeah, and it's surprising because you are sacrificing a ring console with this composition. You have the Survey Beacons, sure, but by dropping the Core Stick, it means you've got no one who can do those scans and that could really hurt you. So it's very much a team that's potentially...

00:37:06 Ich habe mir gedacht, dass es ein Doppel ist. Vielleicht ist das warum sie für eine Conduit gewonnen haben. Vielleicht wird es sein, wenn sie das P.O.I. ist klar. Wir werden sehen, wie wir es weitergehen können. Wir werden sehen, wie wir es weitergehen können.

00:37:34 Das sind die Endgame, die vielleicht nicht mehr als Unplayable sind. Die Abilität zu lösen, die Endgame zu machen. Also, die Ammo und all das sind. Die Meds und all das kinder Dinge, die man sich schnell verraten kann. Und natürlich, die Bangalore, die wohl schon ein Staple in all Compositions ist, aber... Ja. Eine Sache, was die Abilität von Sheilah zu sehen, die Abilität zu reduzieren, was die Abilität zu reduzieren, die E-Vax zu reduzieren.

00:37:58 On the flip side, though, one of the reasons why it could be a detriment for them running that composition, lack of Bloodhound. We've seen how important Bloodhound is, the scans, the information, the survey beacons, especially for even just gaining evo shields. I don't like it. Personally, I think Bloodhound is the number one legend you have to have at the moment in this current meta, but we'll see whether things change, because Tripods, they had success in the elimination bracket after they fell in winners round one.

00:38:24 And they really showed up in that Elimination Bracket to qualify for the finals here today. So again, we talk about form. They struggled to begin with, but then they found their form in Elimination Bracket. And if they can do the same today, then there's no reason why they can't find a Pro League spot.

00:38:37 We're still just the one team been eliminated so far as we take a look towards Survey Camp, which is a little bit closer to where this endgame is going to be finishing. And you can see how Albreleli and crew inside of one of those snake buildings, which is a very, very strong building to be holding. We know a lot of teams like to play the Northern Rocks and kind of overlook Survey Camp towards the end of the game, but it can shift south. We do actually see some pretty funny ring pulls on World's Edge at the moment in comparison to Storm Point, where it really just kind of hard pull back to the other side of the zone where you see.

00:39:05 Teams may be thinking, hey, this is a survey cab zone, and it pulls out towards the bins of the train station again. So teams kind of having to hedge their bets a little bit. As we can see, a huge night out inside of one of the snake buildings with a little bit more to the north.

00:39:17 Yeah, we've just seen a zone shift as well. You spoke about the zone shifting away. Well, it is just pulled away from all of the teams that were in Survey Camp, so that is going to be difficult for them. But at the moment, Tripods have got their backs against the wall, but D taking some good shots with Triple T. He certainly is as well, and he's having to, because look at Omni. Omni's trying to stay alive with the movement at the moment and managing to do so. His teammate is keeping him in a position to stay alive, but Omni now will fall. D is going to have to take his time to hit a shield battery.

00:39:44 Gen's gonna bring out Sheila to try and finish off some of these downs, but before he does that, he's got to take out the knockdown shield to try and finish off the last player. Looks like they do have the advantage in this fight for now. One player's still alive, or should I say actually two players left alive, and it might be a case of just exchanging res here, but no! Gen's gonna get pushed now himself!

00:40:00 Ja, da werden noch mehr Spieler in dieser Party sein. Sadly, die Tripods sind jetzt wirklich verletzt. Und das ist eine der Vorteile von Aloba, dass man sich aus der Jäu für frei ist, oder vielleicht nicht für frei ist. Sadly, das ist der Ende der Tripods hier in Nummer 1. Es war Braun, der andere Seite, der wirklich auf den anderen Seite war, als jetzt viele Teams sind geholfen. Und mit dem Ring Shift, wir werden so viel commotion passieren, als SurveyCamp wird, weil alle wieder auf der gleichen Zeit bleiben, nach Round 4.

00:40:29 Yeah, everybody's thinking, huh, not a survey zone, huh? Okay, well, they're the best team win when they have to leave. Tempo already with a couple of points, or should I say a couple of kills, I believe, to their team's name. They were the team that were holding down the beacon building that we were talking about for quite some time. That won't be safe for the next zone, but they do have the train station to play from. I mentioned how the height at epicenter is going to be one of the advantages, or potential advantageous positions, but that still is the case. Hello, man.

00:40:57 Maio, we're down to just one now of Osservain.

00:41:01 Ja, nicht nur die Schöne von Height, aber er hat auch noch eine An-Dien-O-Behindert, so das ist jetzt die Ende des LMAO. Tempa geteilt werden, aber sie waren das Village-Builder für ein paar Zeit, aber sie haben auch noch 15 Quads, die jetzt noch sind. Und das ist was wir über die Zone-Shift sind, viele Teams sind jetzt zu versuchen, aber die Team sind jetzt zu versuchen, aber die Team...

00:41:31 Das ist eine gute Möglichkeit für uns zu sein, aber wir müssen uns in den ersten Spots zu gewinnen. Das war nicht ein guter Punkt zu sehen.

00:41:53 So now also known as WillControl, that northeast side and they'll be alone over there towards that building. We've got a few teams that are now fighting in the center of Epicenter and also teams who are on the top of it as well as teams now starting to edge closer. One of those teams being the Edgers. They were down on the southern side, but now they forced their way in to one of the icicles and they will be able to hold this spot for the next minute. Now it's time to turn our attention towards SurveyCamp shortly because in 45 seconds we have one, two, three, four, five teams in SurveyCamp who are

00:42:23 We're all going to have to move. CCE. They're going to be good for now. No Name have just been eliminated. We find ourselves now with 12 squads remaining. Spitfire is a weapon that, I will say, maybe doesn't get enough love at the moment. The clip is pretty nutty. And if you've got a Bloodhound, you're going to hit a good scan through a smoke. You can do a huge amount of damage without having to take the extra time to hit a reload. And you can continually do damage.

00:42:51 So NG and L are the team that are furthest ahead, getting closer to the zone, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's a good thing, because you might be then first in the eyes of the teams that were already in Epicenter. You kind of want to find a nice little in-between of not being the first, but also not being the last and try and...

00:43:19 Es ist einfach gesagt, denn es ist besser gesagt, denn es ist jetzt nicht mehr als Teams werden zu machen, als die Zone beginnt zu versuchen sie alle in. Das ist jetzt ein Mayhem. Räuner hat sich in die Meantime zu erinnern, 11 Squads sind jetzt noch übrig. Die Stallions versuchen zu kudeln gegen die Zone-Edge hier, als sie arbeiten ihre Weh-In. Rezzy ist jetzt zu haben.

00:43:38 Beast of the hunt to try and find some tracks or maybe just scan forward to try and find a way out for them. It looks like the player is going to be the evac tower. Team in front of them is going to be left. I think they're going to try and stick this evac tower maybe but no.

00:43:50 Yeah, they all just started fighting together, but the Stallions have done very well to stay as a healthy three here and been able to avoid the commotion that was happening just slightly above them. And now they...

00:44:19 Sie können sich auf ihre Verteidigung und versuchen, die mit Puckier hier zu machen. Ja, wirklich gut aus dem Dammage von Retzi mit dem Prowler. Der Nox kommt in für sie. Sie können eine Sekunde hier, um sie zu resetten, weil sie die Zone zu helfen. Und das ist schon ziemlich die Rotate, von Stallions. Nicht ganz sicher, wie sie es gemacht haben. Sie waren die letzte Team mit jeder Runde in fronten. Und sie waren einfach aus dem Weg, die die Zones zu helfen. Einfach ein bisschen auf die Zones zu machen, wie die Teams auf den Southeastern.

00:44:49 auf Epicenter, wo sie auf Height oder wo sie sind. Sie haben Eterne, Meatlovers und CCE, die alle auf dem anderen Seite sind. Eltere, mit den Teams mit mehr Platz haben, a.k.a. Stallions, Edges und Weave, alle können in die Circle gehen, aber es wird sicherlich sein. Aber es wird sicherlich sein, dass die Teams schon da sind. Und es wird schnell passieren. Du hast viel Zeit zu denken, wenn du in Round 5 hast, als die Circle ist jetzt wieder zu close. Du kannst sehen, die Pings kommen aus von den Teams, wo wir werden können, wo andere Teams sind, und wo wir jetzt in Position sind, und wo wir brauchen.

00:45:19 Sometimes you even ping Plan Bs. We go here if we can't get this spot. The epicenter height is always a good place to control, but the endgame, it's not the greatest of places to be just because you have to, of course, drop. And if you drop, unless you're playing Horizon, your gun is not going to be up when you hit the floor. However, Sang on the Newcastle, maybe...

00:45:39 Ja, ich mag die Niche-Use von diesen Legends, um diese Spiele zu können, und wirklich zeigen, warum sie wert ist, weil die Edgers geteilt sind in 7th place. Es war die Stallions, die die Edgers geteilt haben, und jetzt haben wir sechs Quads remaining. Die Stallions, die so gut zu breiten, aus der Survey-Area zu breiten, und jetzt können sie so viel zu können.

00:46:09 Und jetzt haben sie die Height als auch. Sie haben die Height-Ground. Wenn sie einfach nur die Height-Left haben, dann werden sie alle Height-Left haben. Amrl-Eli hat sich ein Wingman als auch. Unfortunately für sie, ein Spieler hat sich einfach nur geholfen. Aber niemand ist in die Position zu pushen. Wir haben den Lobby geholfen.

00:46:28 Ja, es ist eigentlich verrückt, dass die beiden Teams noch nicht so stehen. Eternals haben jetzt zwei jetzt verloren, und es ist all down to Thales, die in einem schwierigen Situation zu haben. Aber als Achaustik, es ist immer eine Möglichkeit, als ich sage, dass Eternals geteilt werden. So jetzt ist es Meatlovers, Stallions und CCE als unsere drei finalen Teams. Meatlovers und Stallions, wahrscheinlich in der bessere Position, würde ich sagen. Cce, sie müssen sie von der Lowgrounds aufwachsen.

00:47:00 Aber wir immer fragen, wer hat Alts? Wer hat Alts? Wer hat Alts? Wer hat Alts? Wer hat Alts?

00:47:27 One remaining player from CCE could throw a Spanner in the works. I got it right this time. As you can see, Cape just about playing Nuisance here. But I will say the Stallings have done very well at staying healthy and avoiding the sight lines of B-Lover so far. But there's that EMP. EMP comes in. That's going to slow things down for a second. But not a huge amount of damage done. And the smoke is going to go out as well, which is going to slow down the push in return. So, looking at Albrelli at the moment. Does not have the ultimate available, but does have some pretty good shots onto Tech. And Albrelli on the roller.

Stallions gewinnen das erste Spiel

00:47:57

00:47:57 We've been waiting to see it for quite some time. And this is why. Alb, Glipps, everyone. Stallions will win you game number one. Well, we mentioned him. Albreleli, he's been through the ringers a little bit. He's had quite a few teams, but maybe this is the one that can bring him back into the Pro League once more. And we can see him return to greatness. And that certainly was a demonstration of how he can play in those final moments. Not only did they get into that final 3v3, but they forced that final 3v3 by being aggressive at the right time. And Meat Lovers kind of sat...

00:48:27 back, they let it happen, they saw the killfeed, they saw there was some damage going in, but they weren't really able to get the angles because Stallions were able to play the icicle so perfectly and avoid their sightlines. You almost felt like Stallions had made the decision, hey, let's try and play for second here and just get these kills and we get second place, great stuff, because they felt Meat Lovers had a better position, but the speed at which they cleaned up that first fight, they didn't take any damage, they were able to get a full reset before Meat Lovers were even able to...

00:48:53 Cut the ground down and close that gap to influence any damage that they would have thought would be done in that fight. The EMP didn't do barely anything because it just, you know, they had the smoke available. They were able to slow the push down off the back of that. And the gap was so big, the full reset came in. But Albon the Roller, man, it's been a tale as long as time, right? He's saying, I want to switch to controller. Then he goes back to mouse and key. Then he's back to controller. You can see why.

00:49:16 He wanted to make the change and it was going to take time. But now it looks like he's starting to find a little bit more comfort. That vault in those final moments, he was not missing too many bullets. And on top of that, the way that Stallions played the fight, they were all three together as a unit. Whereas you look at Meat Lovers, Tech gets shut down first. He's taken an angle. The second player has also taken an angle. The third player then arrives with the flank. It was just a little bit...

00:49:37 all over the place from what they were trying to achieve sometimes that can work out if the flank goes well but in this scenario stallions they they held their ground and they shot things together and they targeted perfectly yeah very impressive stuff for them in that end game as well and we always talk about like ultimate usage in those final moments and i'm looking at the crypto pick and i've got to say i've never been convinced but i see what crypto does and i feel like crypto has more value in a

00:50:02 shall we say, a Tier 1 lobby, like where everybody is looking for spots to play, you're looking for information, information becomes more and more vital. In this lobby that we've just seen, like an aggressive or an ultimate that is going to contribute stronger to a teamfight, I feel like it has more value in this PLQ lobby. An EMP is great, it kind of stuns, it slows down, but if you're not in a position to close that gap, it almost becomes like a, it's not going to be as strong as like a Rolling Thunder or a Bloodhound ult or a Caustic ult.

00:50:30 Maybe just a pick to look at moving forward. Aggressive ultimates on Legends are going to maybe fare a little bit better in this lobby than others. Yeah, and I think that as the ALGS meta develops, we will see Legends get buffs. We'll see them get nerfs. We'll see new Legends introduced. And sometimes you have to be innovative. Sometimes you have to try things different. And I mean, I don't mind different Legends and going away from the meta a little bit because it does provide for more entertainment for us as viewers, as commentators. But there are...

00:50:58 Better legend selections, that's for sure. But it's also comfort pick. We've seen Tech on Crypto for how long? He knows how to use him. He knows how to play him. He's going to be comfortable on him. And I think that certainly it's going to impact this lobby at times. Just sadly, the EMP really didn't make the difference in that final fight that we thought it might have.

00:51:14 Yeah, I think it's more the speed at which Stallions cleaned up the first fight that was more of a contributing factor to their big win. But I mean, very, very impressive stuff from Stallions. And I feel like you're looking at that roster, you're looking at that team, and it's a group of players who are big momentum players, right? Who feed off confidence, who need things to go well early for them to believe that they can go through and just dominate a lobby. And I think a game like that in game number one, where not only was it...

00:51:39 Ich glaube, es ist ein guter Weg für sie. Aber die Fakt haben sich so eine Tuff Rotate gemacht, und die Fakt haben, die von SurveyCamp haben, um das Endzone zu machen, ist sehr, sehr gut für sie. Aber wir haben noch mehr zu kommen, natürlich. Wir haben nur noch ein Game schon gemacht und Dusted. Game Nr. 2 ist jetzt um die Körner. Wir gehen nach World's Edge. Ich hoffe, es hilft, es in just a few.

00:53:44 Ich weiß, dass Al...

00:53:54 ist das endlich der Team? Ich meine, also, was wir nicht gesagt haben, ist das der Team der Return von Retzi, wie gesagt. Die letzte Zeit wir gesehen, Retzi, war bei uns auf Sentinels in 2021. So, Stallion ist wirklich ein Bewegung für das erste Spiel. Ended up mit 14 Kp, wie Sie jetzt hier sehen, mit den Match 1 Resultat. Meatlovers kommt in 2nd place. Ich liebe es, wie du das hier mit dem, mit Dan. Die verschiedenen Compositionen zwischen Krypto und Utilität in der Endgame. Wir sehen uns mit den Bloodhounds hier, aber sie hat es mit Sentinels.

00:54:23 Ja, es ist ein guter KP für sie, aber ich kann mich einfach mal kurz sagen, Stahlians 12.14 Kills, das ist ein bisschen zu reden, 14 Kills für Stahlians, und viele kamen von der Carnage auf SurveyCamp, so 26 in total für sie. Das wird sie in den Streicher Distanz von der Match-Point-Threshold, das wir liebe zu sprechen, das 50-Points-Threshold. Sie sehen, es ist sehr, sehr nahe, Vicky, weil Stahlians pretty much alle Punkte zu haben, in der Lobby.

00:54:51 Ja, ich glaube mit dem, dass sie 32 totalen Punkte haben, denn sie kamen mit sechs extra Start-Points nach dem Ergebnis von gestern. Das ist etwas, was wir hier sehen, als wir sehen uns auf die zweite Seite. Now, andere Teams sind auch hier, und vielleicht nicht zu starten, wie sie erwähnt. Wir sehen, was sie mit ihnen passiert. Wir sehen, dass Daze was zu gehen. Unfortunately, das wurde verletzt, die moment sie aus der Train-Track kamen.

00:55:14 Okay side, and other teams, DNO, No Name, two teams that I definitely have my eyes on, unfortunately not really putting on the performance for that first game, but that's just the first game alone on set. We got so many more games. I mean, it's Match Point. Who knows where we'll end it out here, but we do have one more game on World's Edge before we make that transition into Storm Point. It's very true. We have a minimum of six today, but I get the feeling that because we had six earlier in Match Point finishing three, that we've got some in the bank today, everybody, all right? We've got some in the bank. We're going to be going the distance.

00:55:42 But World's Edge is going to be game number two. And that's what we saw, of course, in game number one as well, before we head over to Stormpoint, where things change up just a little bit more. But I think the fact that we were so close, we're already, you know, one game in and we've seen Stallions wipe the lobby in the way that they did. I think it's, you can feel that the lobby mood will change here, right? Because if one team has that kind of game where it's like, oh, all of a sudden they're within striking distance of match point, everyone else is like...

00:56:07 Okay, the game has started now. The day has started. We are now playing catch-up immediately. It's not we have three or four games here to really put our points on the board, find our flow. It's like, okay, now we have to perform. Otherwise, one of those spots is going to disappear.

00:56:21 Especially when you're going into a game where it's match point format and you know that some teams are already starting off with points. The Edgers actually starting off with 10 points already as we take a look at the series results from that alone. Yeah, so Stallions is already at 32 points. Look at that, where 50 points is that threshold to be already at match point. Meat Lovers, the Edgers right behind them tied 17 apiece, but slowly building up that gap between first and second place.

00:56:48 Yeah, it's a little bit of a gap opening after just one game, but it also shows how quickly things can change, right? We saw in Amir as well, going into that final game of the day, there was always the chance if you were in the top 15, it felt like you were going to be able to force your way into one of those top eight spots. So for Stallions to be the point in sponges, kind of means for everybody else that it's all still to play for. Meat Lovers in second place, you can see a good amount of KP coming in from the edges would push them on 17 points as well. At the other end, you can see a little bit more of a dry spell for everybody on that side.

00:57:17 Ich habe gesagt, ich liebe das Zones. Ich möchte über die Zones ein bisschen auf World's Edge reden, Vicky, weil ich glaube, wir sind wirklich harsch pulls auf Zones zu sehen. Ist das etwas passiert? Weil die Predicter, jeder, die von den Jahren von Apex Legends gesehen hat, wird das erste Ring Console get hit und sagen, das ist Survey Beacon, vielleicht eine Re-Spawn in die Snow, auf die Bins Zone. Wir werden da enden.

00:57:42 Und dann geht es all den Weg nach dem Boden von Epicenter auf den Respawn, das wir noch nicht gesehen haben. Ich glaube, ich fühle mich für eine Zone-3-Beacon. Das wird ein sehr guter Informationen geben für diese Teams, wenn sie spielen wie das, wie die Zones sind, auf World's Edge.

00:58:00 A hundred percent agree. It gives me whiplash, honestly. That was a huge change going into the season, was the hard pulls that these circles have taken have completely thrown a lot of these teams off guard. But I like how you highlight the importance of the survey beacon. Obviously, it's important on its own, but when you get to that Ring 3 side of the circle...

00:58:20 Es macht es sogar mehr wichtig, wenn du mehr auf einen 50-50 approach hast. Und was ich meine, das ist, dass du dein Team in eine Position, wo es so passiert, wenn du in die Richtung du hast, du hast eine gute Rotation, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da. Aber wenn du es in eine andere Richtung, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da, du hast da. Aber es ist etwas, du hast da, du hast da,

00:58:50 Und jetzt sehen wir die Bloodbaths passieren in ein paar Spiels, wo diese Teams sind zu fassen, von einem Cover zu bauen, um sich in die Lina-Set, wo es ein Little-to-No-Cover gibt, auf der nächsten Circle-Rotate.

00:59:09 Wir werden sehen, wie es implementiert wird. Aber jetzt wenden wir es in die Distance. Es ist noch eine unserer Lieblings-Games. Wir haben noch ein paar Spiele, aber wir haben noch ein paar Spiele. Wir werden das Dropship sehen für ein paar Zeit. Es gibt keinen Ort wie Home, wie World's Edge hier, besonders wenn ich in die Dropship habe, bevor wir jetzt aufhören.

00:59:31 Wir sehen uns in der letzten Woche, dass jeder Team einen Respekt des P.O.I.? Ich weiß, dass Skyhook immer hat, die zwei Teams mit dem Team mit den Skyhook sind. Und ich weiß, ob wir vielleicht ein Northern Circle sehen können, aber vielleicht nach dem Northwestern. Aber ich weiß, dass die Stallions...

00:59:53 Ich glaube, dass Bord auf den Norte wird, wenn es geht.

01:00:18 Ich weiß nicht, dass es um die Zonen-Zone ist. Die Frage ist, ist es, dass es nach Backtrials geht? Ich glaube nicht, es ist. Es wird eher nach Grandma's House sein, vielleicht zu der Norte. Oder wir haben einen Unpredictable Schiff, wo Zone 3 Info ist, sozusagen eine Game-Winne Info. Wir können nach der Choke zwischen Skyhook und Countdown gehen. Wir wissen nicht, aber von dem, wenn ich Geld habe, was ich nicht. Ich würde sagen, es wird nach dem Norte gehen.

01:00:45 Look, it's the equivalent to getting that disc across the field out here. You're either going to maybe pull towards the rock formation between countdown of trials. I've seen the circle pull over by where half of the mountain of trials is that final circle, and it's up that zip line that leads you into trials. Or, like you mentioned, Grandma's House being another possibility here. We're going to have to see where that next circle is. Teams like CCE. I love, by the way, the different legend comps that we've been exposed to thus far. We've been seeing more ramp.

01:01:15 Ich möchte noch ein bisschen context zu everyone, by the way. When we're talking about the guy throwing the disc, I pitched the idea for split one playoffs that we have, instead of T-shirt cannons, we have...

01:01:42 an olympic discus thrower come out and do it and i'm waiting to hear back from it but if you support the idea i'm just saying spam in the chat and you know get on to get on social media and show you a love and support because i think it would uh certainly separate the apex legends global series from a lot of other events

01:01:57 Es gibt den Rampart, wir haben den Lobber und es ist eine Composition, die sich zu einem Quick Rotate lends sich an. Wenn man einen I, ist nicht unsere Fault. Das ist all I'm gonna sagen. Okay? Don't expect anything to be thrown in any direction out here as we get to see the Tripods at least throwing themselves on the other side of Harvester.

01:02:26 And they're about to meet up with a team that was we just saw exiting out of that tunnel. Weave is slowly approaching as tripods make the decision whether they want to go around the side here to the vault tunnel cave or if they want to rotate through staging. Either way, though, if they do rotate through that staging side, they will allow themselves to have more information on the circle and survey beacon if they do want to wait for that next circle, considering that they probably do have that information as it is. It's fascinating, isn't it, right?

01:02:52 You talked about how a team can now decide upon their rotation, not just based on what's our quickest way to zone in the place we want to play, but all of a sudden your timings are thrown off a little bit because of where Evo Harvesters are, where ring consoles are, and maybe a ring console that previously you wouldn't even think about hitting because you've got the info that you feel is necessary to get you towards the endgame.

01:03:13 It's about collecting the Evo that you get from it. So everyone just feels like they have a little bit more info because they're forced to hit some of these things on the way forward. And that obviously is going to allow them to get those shields up as well. But it just makes it a little bit more unpredictable. Like Tripod's there probably thinking, hey, we're good. Like we can work our way down to staging to hit both the Ring Console and the Survey Beacon that's here. But also Edger's kind of counter-rotated towards that. And I think both teams kind of went, okay, we'll leave each other to it. We don't want to take a fight this too early on. As instead we now...

01:03:42 Take a look at a little bit more traditional of a layout of the map. And this is where we believe that the zone is going to be going towards the north side of Skyhook. And one team is in a great spot is No Name.

01:03:51 Oh man, I love that we're looking at No Name in their positioning right now. Because when I was referring to those 50-50 rotates, this is actually the positioning that No Name is in, is the example that I was vying for here. No Name being on this north side, if the circle doesn't pull towards Grandma's House and it pulls towards that rock formation south of Trials, guess what? They could still rotate from the Grandma's House north side behind Trials instead of in front where Skyhook is, where most of the teams are probably going to coexist. And then they'll be able to rotate to that south side closer to Countdown.

01:04:21 They really only have to worry about Circle Edge teams coming in, including the Edgers, who are going to take their time to rotate from Mirage to Tuala through Lava Fissure and try to get as much information as possible that dictates their pathing, like you were mentioning before, Onset, because there is a ring console over by Lava Fissure.

01:04:36 Well, DNA right at the northern side of this zone for now. And this isn't going to be where an endgame happens. But we do see some endgames up on those tracks and just outside of it. But it looks like it's a little bit southern, this zone, for this to be where the endgame is going to be. But it's a good spot for them to fight from, right? If they can fight and control this northern side, then they can control the space of this endgame for now.

Teamnamen und frühe Spielphasen-Dynamik

01:04:58

01:04:58 You know, by the way, we talk about some of the team names we're seeing in this lobby. I still believe, we were talking about this before the show started today. I think Dudes Night Out might be one of the greatest team names just in esports history. Like, it's such a, like, just good vibes name. Dudes Night Out, man. Like, good time. I love it. There's a lot of interesting names in this lobby that I definitely enjoy from afar out here. You know, Tripods being another one as they're going to be able to back away and see what's going to happen. Rockin' Fool, Purple Evos, by the way.

01:05:25 Und dann sehen Sie, wo sie wollen. Aber sie sehen, wo das Neck Circle ist. Und dann ist es nach der Skyhook. So vielleicht nicht über das Countdown.

01:05:37 So you can see it here. Tripod's now just trying to get ahead of it. But they will be playing on the edge where they can expect other teams to maybe take their time in rotating here. Specifically, you see Puck Yabba taking their time on rotating from the edge. Fury on the other side by staging. So many of these other teams, even LMAO taking their time to rotate. Yeah, I just say it.

01:05:59 You know as well, me and Vicky are actually sat here with our checkbooks out, just getting ready to be fined. We've already filled it out, it's just a case of putting the signature on it to cover the expense at this point. But I mean, when we're looking at the zone, Vicky, it's looking like it is going where we thought it was going to be. And I think holding that tunnel of trials is going to be one of the prior positions for a lot of these teams.

01:06:21 The team up on the Heiter Trials at some point is going to have to drop, right? But if you can control that tunnel with the door that provides so much cover, then you really can be in a position to let the lobby take care of itself and then approach it from late. Especially with the amount of caustics that we have on World's Edge. I mean, that's to be expected. The amount of space that you can control with the caustic with so many buildings that take up space on World's Edge. As we see more of these teams start rotating in. LMAO off of the balloon are going to be able to see.

01:06:49 ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

01:07:18 One of the few teams running the Valve. Probably the only one actually caring. Puck, yeah, bud. Doesn't matter if they're getting shot by the Sentinel, but it does matter that they're getting shot by a different angle, not noting that there was a player to their right.

01:07:29 Es ist so schwierig. Wenn du ein Spieler in den Händen und sie in den Händen, und sie in den Händen, und sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen, sie in den Händen.

01:07:59 I love the follow-ups that we already saw from Fury right now. And I love how it's also been rather slow at the start of this game. 20 squads still alive here. Everybody up and healthy. Minus the Edgers, unfortunately. They are playing that out as a duo while they make their quick rotate. They were called out. I believe Puckiaz, another team also playing things out as a duo.

01:08:23 Well, Fury take control over this entire POI. For now, they will be able to get the information that they need to decide how they want to rotate. Do they fully commit over to the other side here, closer to the countdown side, or do they want to rotate through Trials? Well, now we're going to see the Fire Meat Lovers are going in. You see both Caustic Golds are going to be expended in this fight. Takes trying to fire through, blind fire through the smoke, but gets absolutely deleted.

01:08:48 But it looks like Evolution will come out on top of that. But there might be another team in the vicinity here who's looking to have a fight themselves. Yes, indeed. It's going to be Tripods. You try and move into third party this. Evolution were taken down. And you can see, I think that Meatlovers also have one player down. Here comes Deems, though. A little bit of Hitfire. A little bit of Trigger Disappointing. And now he flies in to try and clean up this damage.

01:09:07 Wir haben einen Moment oder so zu machen, so sie sollte be...

01:09:34 Good enough, I would say, to chase this down for another 15-20 seconds, maybe, before they have to think about a rotation, but with where they were dropping down on the southern side of the map, you expect maybe this is going to be a case of get this kill, secure the points, get one more team out of the lobby, and then think about how we move afterwards. This is exactly what they do do. 45 seconds left on the clock for them to try and move in a little bit closer towards the zone, and Deeds is going to use that Q just to get across to Omu to say, hey, good job, buddy. They give a little combo about how that went as they head towards their teammate.

01:10:02 Oh, Stallions, though. Lose out on Albrelele for now. The push comes in from the team right below them. Nice nade to control some space for right now, but they are going to try to figure out a way to get onto the high ground. Bord also getting pinged from the distance. This is the chaos that we were expecting here in Skyward. So many teams coexisting. They do finish off that player. These squads again still alive. Getting more information with these Bloodhound scans. Yeah, Bord got that first knock and kill onto Albrelele.

01:10:28 Managed to get the full finish as well, which is important, of course, because that means that they're going to be able to maybe think about sieging this building as a 3v2 scenario instead of allowing that res to come in. And we saw how Albert was shooting in that previous game as well in the endgame. So probably one of the best players, most important players to get out of that teamfight taken down. A couple of grenades are going to go in through the window here. That's going to be an unwelcome surprise. This board try and force this fight. They really want to take this Vicky there.

01:10:53 Sie haben die Nummer advantage hier und es auch kommt an der Evo Harvester da draußen, so...

01:11:08 It was inevitable for these squads to get close together enough to fight here as we see more teams getting engaged in a fight. Fury versus Tripods. They try to pull in a Balloon. That gets shut down as Tripods put a stop to Fury. For right now, 16 squads left. The Stallions finally get eliminated by Board. Fury gone. Stallions gone. Tripods. Maybe this is going to be their game with everybody stacked up on the northern side. They control the south side of the zone, but they do have a long, long way to go.

01:11:36 No Name are going to be controlling all of the backside of Trials on the map that you can see as well as one of the rocks that is inside of the zone for now. And No Name smartly as well, by the way, just watching that zone wrap, because there is still a zone wrap opportunity for the likes of Tripods, for the likes of Puck Yeah, Bud, and even Edges if they wanted to move through and make that play. By the way, Edges, you mentioned they're playing this one as a duo, but...

01:11:56 Also in one of those prio spots that we were talking about previously outside of the trials tunnel with that door in their control. So they're going to be in a really good spot for the endgame. Unfortunately, just going to have to play as a two.

Spannungsgeladene Endphase und NGNL's Triumph

01:12:09

01:12:09 Eventually, you'll be in everyone's line of sight, eventually here too. I see BM though, lose out on question mark. Stability is now in trouble, his kicks tries to be the last one alive, tries to hold it down for the rest of the team, but the Black Hole pulling everybody in as Sunny's gonna get res for now. Coming in clutch, so LMAO, they find themselves winning not only that fight, but also the high ground here, where there's less than 30 seconds for this next circle to close. Onmood's managed to get his troops into a position here, Tripods.

01:12:37 Dude, there is no way!

01:12:58 Das war 4 Nades, 2 Arc Shards, 1 Thuramite. Anmoo ist jetzt aufgeregt. Look at die Bullets flying right around them. One from Trials, another from another building in Skyhook. Anmoo, by the way, just took an Evac Tower. Now flying to the north side by DNO. And Temper, fighting to control this building here. This is the chaos that we were expecting with the Circle closing in. Well, the Pods do not die. The Pods are still alive, by the way, everybody. Anmoo got out of there. And is still in a position to maybe rat out a few points. Anmoo, who hit that Evac like...

01:13:27 Do they use the bang ult? That's the question for this rotate. Do they prevent all these other teams from trying to figure a way out around that next side of the circle here? They do get that finish on the flare. 11 spots left. They are able to also loot up with the death boxes at their feet. But even if they have that time, they're in the line of sight of the other teams that are probably on top of Skyhook Trials.

01:13:57 Fuck yeah, bud. They're gone. Also known as gone as well. By the way, pods are pretty sure still alive. They might have just gone down in the last few moments. Excuse me. I think Omu might have unfortunately fallen. We'll have to get confirmation of that. As Tempo do get the reds and should be good. But DNO, dude's not out. This is a big fight for them inside of the market.

01:14:14 We'll be able to stick it by the looks of things and turn that into a 2v2 momentarily. The question is, will we be able to get up to a full three? Outside, you can see the edges. They're making their play as well. Tempo also in the killfeed once more, overlooking this.

01:14:42 Couple of knocks come in from the core stick a couple of cells gonna be popped to get them in a position to rotate 20 Seconds until they have to move and look how far they have to go. We're gonna jump into a listening now with temperance TNO go down. Let's see what they rotate is Right here

01:15:09 Wir müssen uns töten. Wir müssen uns töten. Wir müssen uns töten.

01:15:16 We can just play the size right here. Come on, come on, come on, come on. I'm inside, I'm inside, I'm pumping a bat. All right, all right, all right. Let's go, go, go, go. Just wipe right, kill right, kill right, kill right. Almost cracked. Chill, just chill. Close, close, close, close on the right. He is. He's killing the killer. I've knocked, I've knocked, I've knocked. Digi, he is digi.

01:15:46 I killed him! No, fuck! Good try, good try, good try.

01:16:02 Oh, and the Edgers also were able to clean up some KP before. They were inevitably taken down as a duo that survived all the way to the endgame. The last two squads, No Name fighting this up. But they have Blue Evils trying to take a cheeky angle out here. Stands out the Nate on the other side. Specifically 2v2 here too. No Name now trying to wrap around. NGNL Esports, a different off-angle here. Leaving Wave just by themselves to try to give them some press fire as Strips is gonna be able to pop this back.

01:16:28 Geht in the void just to make himself a little bit more of a difficult kill here. It's a 2v1, I believe, if I'm not mistaken. Damage comes in behind the knockdown shield, and now there's gonna be damage from a distance as well. They should clean this up. They do clean it up, and NGNL will be your winners of game number two.

01:16:45 I love the patience at the very end there, though. They couldn't see around the other side of the smoke, so they were just waiting before actually taking advantage of the positioning that they had, wrapping around an opposing team. And GNL coming out on top, and that's where the patience wears off from the north side of the teams that rotated from that side of Skyhook. Gotta give a huge amount of credit again to the edges in that endgame as well. Getting top three, I think it was, with a couple of KP from that position as a duo.

01:17:11 Round of applause. Very, very impressive stuff and showing how powerful that position could be. I think that's going to make the leaderboards very fun, though, because one team who didn't really commit to the leaderboards was the team who took a huge amount of points in game number one, right, in Stallions, which makes everything kind of squish together a little bit more and makes it a lot more competitive when we get to look at those scores in a few moments' time.

01:17:31 One thing I love is when you see an off pick when it comes to consistency in Legends, and we see it be effective in a fight that wins the game. And you saw it from the Raid there in the endgame, right? Cue it away to find another angle and then just spraying down with that havoc.

01:17:44 Especially when you have the most health in that situation. It did look like what NGNL were doing originally was maybe having the Wraith back because they did hold a split angle. Having the Wraith back, they did lose out on the teammate and instead of waiting back there while the Rampart was healing up with a shield bat, that's when the Wraith had pushed in so that way that could be an extra body to focus on. But not only pushing in, holding that split angle, using the Q like you mentioned, Mark, so that way they could reposition where they weren't expecting it.

01:18:10 And of course, the beauty of the purple perk on the queue as well. You just get a little bit of a shortened wind-up time on the queue as well before you jump into the void, which gives all our Season 1 Wraiths just a little bit of a heart flutter every time it happens. We all miss it, let's be real.

Ergebnisse von Spiel 2 und Ausblick auf Stormpoint

01:18:24

01:18:24 I was a Season 1 Pathfinder, so I don't know what I'm talking about anyway. But yeah, it still gets the hairs on your arms standing up when you jump into that void a little bit quicker. But an impressive performance from them. We'll take a look at the results from match number two here as well. So you know how we stand. NGNL Esports, 12 placement points, 6 kills alongside it, 18 overall. But CCE, look at that, 10 kill points for them, 15 overall, down in fourth place.

01:18:47 Das ist wirklich großartig. Und das ist mit dem ersten Spiel, dass sie vierte mit zwei Kp haben. So das ist großartig für CCE, um das Momentum zu haben, um nicht nur Top 4 zu haben, aber mit 10 Kp haben. Ich meine, sehr kill-heavy in diesem ersten Spiel, Marc. Look at Temper and Tripods, beide mit 9 Kp. 9 Kp apiece, Bear Gwotas. Sie sehen, nur die Placement points für sie, ohne Kp zu gehen. Deno mit ein paar Kilo für sie, um 4 Punkte in total zu stellen.

01:19:16 We did see Brown pick up their three KP, which puts them in a position to pick up four points themselves. Evolution with a little bit of a quiet game though. Me Lovers with a quiet game as well. Interesting to see the two teams that are involved in our end game of map number one or match number one, I should say, on World's Edge in 17th and 19th place collectively with just two points between the two teams.

01:19:36 Und das ist das, was ich erwarte uns zu gehen, ich meine, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist nicht so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so, es ist so

01:20:05 Very close here within our top five, actually. It is. I mean, what a difference right from game number one where you saw Stallions and the rest essentially is what it looked like. And now it's a case of, hey, everybody has realized that with a performance like that in game number one, they needed to perform in game number two, which is why you're now seeing just a three-point lead for Stallions at the top and only a point or two between everybody else that's in behind them. A little bit of a quiet start for DNO, I would say, with the talent that is on their team, but...

01:20:32 Ich sage, eine Slow Start, bei ihren eigenen Standards. Es ist 10 Punkte und es ist außerhalb der Qualifizierungspots. Ein guter Game kann das für sie komplett ändern. Aber, speaking of changing things, werden wir über die Stormpoint nach dem break. Denn wir haben viel mehr Apex Legends zu bringen von der PLQ. Wir sehen uns in nur ein paar.

01:22:28 Das ist alles gut, denn wir haben noch ein paar Apex Legends noch zu kommen. Dan, ich habe nicht... Das war ein bisschen verrückt, aber ich habe mich komplett ausgedrückt. Du hast mich komplett ausgedrückt. Du hast mich komplett ausgedrückt. Du hast es gemacht, ihr habt es gemacht. Das ist alles, ihr habt es gemacht. Das ist alles, ihr habt es gemacht. Wir sind hier und wir sind bereit, um Stormpoint zu kommen. Und ja, Dan's face war closer als jeder expected. Und die Leaderboards waren closer als jeder expected. After Game 2. Wie ist das für Regaining Composure, Dan?

01:22:58 Excellently done, well traversed, and what I would expect from a man like yourself. But a great set of games to begin with. And now we move over to Stormpoint. And it is kind of crazy the difference from EMEA to North America, as you were alluding to. We don't really seem to have any clear frontrunners as of yet, which could lead to a very long day indeed, which I'm always looking forward to. The more Apex, the better in my eyes. Yeah, I agree. And one way that you can watch it, of course, is not just here on the main broadcast, but you can...

01:23:24 Join in with Faceit Watch as well. You can watch up to four POVs. You've got a map overhead as well and a beautiful little addition in the volume mixer where you can mix together all the caster audio, POV audio and the master volume so you can get the perfect mix for yourself. Head over to faceit.com forward slash watch if you choose to watch the ALGS and the PLQ in that way. Now we mentioned World's Edge. It's done for a little bit of time before we head back a little bit later on. But Stormpoint is where we find ourselves heading now, Dan. A little bit of a change of scenery for everybody.

01:23:53 Yeah, and that does mean for those teams who struggle a little bit on World's Edge, they can make up for it here. Just the change of pace, I think, is good for some teams as well, because things can get a little bit, like, kind of dusty on World's Edge at times, where everyone knows what kind of rotations people are going to be making, what buildings they're going to be holding, whereas Stormpoint still brings out that element of speed, I think, at times, because teams have to be forced into certain scenarios. There's less little nooks and crannies to be able to hide in, and it does...

01:24:20 Ich glaube, es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum.

Frühe Spielphasen auf Stormpoint und Zonenprognosen

01:24:48

01:24:48 Ja, der Moment sieht gut aus. Wir starten von der Nord-West-Side und alle haben alles zusammengebracht. Nord-East-Side ist immer das, was ich zu schauen, als erstes.

01:24:59 The likes of Zeus, the likes of Lightning Rod are always very desirable POIs, and it looks like Meat Lovers are going to take Lightning Rod. ICBM are over towards Zeus. So, yeah, people are being friendly again. No one contesting. Oh, I say that. Someone from DNO did just try and drop over towards Echo, and they very quickly were sent packing right back towards Devastated Coast. Well, as far as Zone is concerned, I think it might be a Pylon Zone.

01:25:25 Or it's going to pull out maybe towards the fingers of Launchpad as well. We do see that zone ending over there as well. But we're talking about some funny zone pulls. I would say this one is pretty predictable, especially now we're on Stormpoint.

01:25:38 Ja, ich denke, dass jeder hier sehr schnell ist, wenn sie eine Ringkonsulte haben. Und wenn ihr da fast genug ist. Ich denke, wenn du auf der Norden Seite bist, wie Tempo, über die Wall, sogar mit der Ringkonsulte ist, es wird eine sehr lange Zeit für dich. Also, du könntest nicht auf die Richtung, aber die auf der Souten Seite, du kannst, werden wir sehr schnell gehen. Weil wenn du in die Bereiche von Pylon hast, dann gibt es drei Städte. Also, wenn du in die Bereiche von Pylon hast, dann gibt es drei Städte. Also, wenn du da bist,

01:26:07 wirklich, you know, crazy. You can hold the middle of Pylon as well. So there is room to play here if you're early enough. The downside is if you are late, lack of room to be played, certainly. I'm trying to see who's got Ring Console at the moment. And it looks like Devastated Coast certainly does have both Ring Console and Survey Beacon. So DNO will probably head towards that zone nice and quickly. Another team percentage straight towards Zone is going to be Edges, but they find a little bit...

01:26:31 Ja, even though they were able to get the kill, it's still annoying, because as you mentioned, it delays their move, it delays their rotation that little bit further. It's Weave who have lost one, and whether we see...

01:26:58 Es ist interessant hier.

01:27:14 Evolution do have a ring console over at Pylon as well, so they're going to be slap bang in the center of things. It's not one of those horrible situations where you find yourself at an almost guaranteed placement point POI and because the zone is pooling towards you and you don't have the ring console, so you second guess and leave one of the best priority positions. Stallions have been eliminated, by the way. Wow. I mean, that is a big shake up for the leaderboards when we get to the end of things here.

01:27:38 als sie waren die Winters der Nr. 1 in Qwestern. Also known as, als auch, Take-In-A-Fight. Was ist bei der Start-In-A-Fight? Everybody is just throwing hands.

01:27:46 What did I say about a change of pace? It just seems to be encouraging a little bit more of the mid-game, but actually, it's more of the early game contesting that we're seeing. Teams just trying to force their way, whether E into zone or whether they get themselves closer to zone in some of these paths, and a lot of the Harvesters as well are creating some of these gunfights that we're seeing, but only one team being eliminated so far, but we have seen players go down in some other squads.

Mittlere Spielphase und strategische Entscheidungen auf Stormpoint

01:28:10

01:28:10 Und es wird schwer für sie zu kommen, besonders als es wird ein sehr contestant Pylon, schnell und schnell, weil alle sind so weit weggekehrt. Ja, ich würde sagen, die Pace ist sehr strange. Es hat sicherlich schon fast, aber es ist nicht so fast. Es ist wie ein Shopping-Cart-Dann-The-Stairs-Fast. Uncontrollable. Du hast nur einen Weg, und es gibt keine Recompense für die anderen Weg. So, no name, gut damage auf die Team auf den Trident. Die Frage ist, ob sie den Knog getrennt. Sie werden es sicherlich versuchen es.

01:28:41 Also known as have been eliminated in the meantime 18 squads remaining so our two teams who did take fights early on well they've both been cleaned up North America is gonna be very different to EMEA because we are naturally gonna go a little bit further in the match point process here and

01:28:56 Es ist immer das in der Bühne, dass wir in der Top 8 sind, als wir zu Match 6 sind, um wir zu sehen, dass wir eine Team gewinnen und vielleicht die Chance haben, um mehr Spiel zu verlieren. Wir hatten ein sehr earlyes Finish in EMEA, aber wir vielleicht nicht das gleiche Style hier in Nordamerika, denn in EMEA, wir haben eine Team auf Match Point in dieser Position.

01:29:19 Das scheint nicht zu sein, heute. So, Nordamerika wird sehr viel contestiert werden. Viele mehr Teams werden zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu bewerben. Speaking von zu bewerben, das ist was wir erwartet. Wir haben die Mentalisten, die wir in der Mitte von Pylon haben. Sie sind sehr vulnerabler, wenn Sie so machen. Und dann gibt es viele Teams, die auf der anderen Seite zu bewerben. Das würde mich zu bewerben. Die Mentalisten könnte auch ein Team-Man. Especially in dieser Lobby. Die Tempor sind in einer der Pyramid-Bilden für heute. Sie werden auf der anderen Seite sein. Das ist ein guter Spot.

01:29:48 zu halten für den langen. Die Difficulty ist, of course, wenn du den Doors verlierst, und du hast Nades fliegen, und du hast einen Watson-Gen, das sie natürlich nicht in der Composition haben, du bist so vulnerable zu einem Caustic-Ult kommen in und einfach so viel damage zu dir. So, even wenn der Spot ist gut, wenn du es hältst, es auch sicherlich hat, wie wir sehen, etwas später noch.

01:30:10 Yeah, I don't like holding places that have so many entry points as LMAO sadly lose one here. Tried to face, tried to do as much damage as possible, but maybe just showed for a little bit too long.

01:30:23 Schott's kommen in, als Tempo. Wir gehen in, um zu try and clean up dieses Damage zu sehen. Wir sehen, ein paar Knochs zu gehen, auf either Seite und Tempo. Wir haben gesagt, dass sie, ich würde sagen, eine steep learning-kurve in den Pro-League in Nordamerika für den Split-One haben. Wir haben viel gelernt, natürlich. Aber das ist, dass sie ein bisschen mehr komfortablen sind, um ein bisschen mehr als ein Dominant-Team in die Lobby, wie dieser. Und vielleicht werden sie das Gefühl haben, dass das Team-Fight in diese Team-Fight und das LMAO werden. Wir sehen, dass sie ein paar Perks bekommen, als auch.

01:30:52 Ja, ich denke, es gibt nur vier Teams, die nicht in der nächsten Reihe sind, und ich denke, das zeigt, wie schnell alles in der nächsten Reihe ist. Und das zeigt, wie schnell alles in der nächsten Reihe ist, was sie in der finalen Zone ist, und es ist ziemlich krampig nach Pylon. So, wenn du ein Team ist, die Läge von Tripods, NGNL, Fury...

01:31:16 I don't think there's actually room in the inn. You're going to have to bully your way in and hope that you've got a shield advantage because you're playing on the edge. ICBM are also moving from the northern side as well. So this is where you need to be looking for those survey beacons. You need to be looking for those ring consoles and using them to your advantage whilst you have the ability to use them.

01:31:36 The map overhead gives you a good lay of the land for everyone watching at home about how the lobby is shaping up at the moment as dudes die out are now finding that Weave have moved down from the wall and are on top of them in more than one way. The bangles are going to go down, which is going to force them to retreat. Now Weave are probably second guessing their decision. Will they be able to get back onto the wall that they found themselves in a few moments ago or are they going to take damage in the back? Puck, yeah.

01:32:00 Aber sie werden in den Momenten werden. 16 Quads sind jetzt noch übrig, als wir jetzt noch versuchen, Dudes zu tun.

Taktische Wendungen und Team-Dynamiken in der späten Spielphase

01:32:08

01:32:08 You're proud of that one, aren't you? And I respect it indeed, but do you know now, it's what you do, just a constant professional. Do you know are okay here, by the way? Sorry? Do you know are okay here, by the way? They're in a position where they don't have to really do much. The only downside is if someone tries to take that position off them, so it's whether anyone does try to do it, and well, maybe we're going to have a look at this one.

01:32:34 Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich das fight habe. Sie sehen, dass ich ihn nicht verstehe. Wenn sie Killed Duz'Night out hier werden, dann wird sie das Sider-Zone kontrolliert werden. Und der Walk-In wird es viel besser für sie. Aber es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum, die Öffentlichkeit zu finden, die sich in eine gewisse Spartan zu finden. Und du bist in eine gewisse Spartan, und du bist gezwungen, und du bist auf eine gewisse Position gezwungen. Sie könnten vielleicht auch zurückkehren, als eine Position sie hätte für dieses Spiel gewonnen haben, und die anderen Team machen.

01:33:04 But this is uh, this is taking quite some time in this fight and as we know the longer it takes usually the less likely it is to go your way. No other teams in the area though to try and third party. This is a mess but it is gonna be Weave who managed to win the engagement in the DNO Gaming Go Down.

01:33:20 And sadly, for Dudes Night Out, they are just going to have to watch on from the sidelines, because I said they were okay. They seemed pretty comfortable. They were more than happy to wait, but perhaps Weave took advantage of that. They noticed that it was a little bit more of a scared playstyle that was happening inside that building. And if I know some players, if you see teams that are turtling up, you very much push them, because it seems like they are not confident in how they are fighting. Now, Tripod's in eighth position at the moment. Remember, eight is the magic number throughout today. We will have eight Pro League...

01:33:48 Qualified teams. There are 8 positions up for grabs. So the benchmark is currently 14 points. But as we saw in EMEA, once you get through all of the games, it is going to be a much higher threshold.

01:34:17 Wackhole ist auch zu gehen, das ist auch zu schluss das Push noch mehr. Und du kannst die Difficulty sehen. Keine Worte zu einem Fortschritt. Es ist alles um, um einen Angle zu entwickeln, um einen Öpeningen zu bekommen, wo man 100% sprayen kann, bevor man in die Handball zu können. Oh, nice Schuss, auch. Und Fury jetzt muss man auf das Puschen. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und sie werden. Und es wird mehr hier. Es wird eine Wipe. Wenn sie das mal richtig spielen.

01:34:42 You just don't want to kind of oversell yourselves by pushing out of the building, because there is going to be other teams that are there being able to provide the damage. You want to be careful. Lose one, lose two, and suddenly you leave yourself open to a potential third party. Weave now moving in to try and clean up the damage. There's the stick coming in. I don't know if it was onto the knockdown shield or what, but it's doing enough damage, and you would imagine that Weave will be able to finish this, and indeed, the fight took too long for a third party to not be introduced into the Taylor's older timing.

01:35:10 Apex Legends, and you've just seen another example of it there. Weave was some of the easiest KP and loot they'll ever want to collect in the game. Also, they're in a position to really get some good Evo. Yeah, good Evo and just kind of in a good spot to be able to maneuver their way into the zone on their own, because they're going to be up on the northeast side.

01:35:27 There will be a team that's going to be trying to hold them out, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily dead, because the way that Weave have been playing, they kind of like forcing themselves into buildings, so Edges need to be a little bit careful here of the arrival of Weave. Elsewhere, Tripods are trying to do the same thing on the southwest side, as are another team who are trying to really force their way into zone. Talk about just punching your way in. Yeah, I mean, it looked cool. Is it going to work?

01:35:54 Ich habe meine doubts, zu sagen. Es ist N-G-N-L, die will fall. Und es ist eine Situation, wo es noch eine Plane zu machen ist, in der Situation war, wo sie sich für den Dörren geöffnet ist, dass sie das frei ist, und es geht in mit dem Gibi-Bubble ist. Also, es war nicht so, es war für sie, so es war für sie. Jetzt haben wir Weave versucht, auf den Weg zu Pylon, um zu ambushen, auf den Edgern, glaube ich, das ist, auf den Edgern.

01:36:21 It's one of those plays where someone says, imagine if we put a bubble down on top of the Trident and got into zone, guys. And it's just one of those that needs to be shut down. I think you need the IGL. One of those idiots who says, yeah, that's a good IGL. Just to be like, no, let's not do that. Let's think about a plan B. But 12 teams still alive here. And the circle is going to start closing the squad who are outside. So it's no name versus Tripods here. They're the teams that are fighting for the southwest side.

01:36:46 But they're being watched over by a couple of squads. So this isn't a straight 3v3. And that's why we're not really seeing a full engagement here.

01:36:57 Der Schmuck wird es umgekehrt, die es umgekehrt werden, um die Schmuck zu gehen. Die Schmuck wird es umgekehrt, um die Schmuck zu gehen. Die Schmuck wird es umgekehrt, um die Schmuck zu gehen. Die Schmuck wird es umgekehrt.

01:37:22 So Tripod's down to two and No Name just trying to rain down fire into the remaining members. Yeah, they're doing a good amount of damage. And they are in zone, so they don't have to panic. They can just be griefing from this position now. And they'll just be waiting to see where this zone is going to pull for them, whether it's going to be a good pull or a bad pull. The likelihood is with their position isn't really going to matter too much.

01:37:42 As I say that, on the other side, tripods do get eliminated, so now we're down to ten. And the circle is gonna be moving east of Pylon, so it's actually Weave, who we were watching earlier, and were kinda forcing their way into positions, and did in the meantime take down the edges, and have regained control of that building, who are in arguably one of the best spots now.

Finales Kräftemessen und Strategie für den Sieg

01:38:02

01:38:02 Ja, wirklich, wirklich stark position für sie. Der Ende des Gebäudes wird sicher sein. Es wird gerade in den Körner sein, aber niemand wird sie aus dem Gebäude von dem Gebäude, so sie können einfach aus den Endgame sein. Sie können sich dann einfach mal auf die Team für die nächsten paar Minuten oder so sein. Meatlovers, die ein paar ein paar Games hatten, haben sie noch ein bisschen mehr zu machen. 10 Squats remaining, als half der Lobby hat sich geholfen. Skatt in die Hand hier auf ETH.

01:38:30 No targets to hit, unfortunately, for them at the moment. A long way off of Red Evo, by the looks of things, for Meat Lovers as well. With over 1k damage needing to be done, you would imagine it's a case of getting it done with the Purples.

01:38:44 So there's two teams who are going to have to force themselves in, and that's on the southwest side. It's No Name who we were watching earlier, right? And Pagottas. They're the ones who are outside of the circle at the moment. Pylon is still not a fun place to be. You've got Temper, Board, Evolution, Evolution, and Brown, who are all looking at one another. And again, they're all going to have to eventually move a little bit further east.

01:39:09 All these teams, they just, they have to try and force something, and it's where you are in the standings that can really influence your decision. I know it's only match three, but you have to be considering, right, is this game winnable for us, or should we start to think about earning KP? Because if you are one of those teams who starts to focus on KP instead, you can pick up a good amount of kills when you have a circle shift like this. Well, no name, we're gonna take a lot of damage here. You can see that not only have they lost one, but...

01:39:34 Chickis almost fell as well. Just managed to get the battery popped so that he can get back up to health. Eternal will be eliminated in the meantime. So by surviving, they've at least got one extra placement point here.

01:39:47 Und zu sein, in dieser kleinen Cubby, in der zipline ist es, sie vielleicht vielleicht nicht mehr zu sein. Es ist nicht ein Position, das man sich an die Leute zu sehen. Die Team-Upon-Height, Sie würden sie sehen, wie die Fights, die wir jetzt sehen, wie die Fights, die wir jetzt sehen. Mit Meatlovers, Bang-Hole ist auch, wie es geht, und Stunz. Aber Serial-Cap wird auch ein Knochen. Tech wird auch ein Knochen, dankz zu den Ring, auf die Team-Up. Und es ist nur ein Knochen zu halten. Der Guataz wird jetzt, und jetzt wird es ein Knochen. Der Guataz wird jetzt ein Knochen.

01:40:14 Das bedeutet Meadlovers haben ein bisschen mehr Raum zu spielen, mit Begottas zu gehen. Und sie können eigentlich alle die Kommotion passieren, um Pylon zu machen, und das genau das. Pick auf die Spieler, die zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen. Der Hauptsache ist Weave, die bereits in der Circle. Und man könnte sagen, dass das Either Weave oder Meadlovers' Game ist, nur zu schauen, wo der Circle ist. Es wird sehr schwierig für jemanden, in der Pylon-Side, zu gewinnen.

01:40:41 Ja, ich denke, die Meatlovers zu wenigstens werden, in diesem Spiel zu werden, mit dem Spiel zu lassen, den Pylon-Strukturen zu lassen. Wir haben jetzt 7-Squads, als Tempa ist, die wir schon erwähnt haben, die wir schon erwähnt haben. Sie haben ein guter Job aufhalten, aber mit 20 Sekunden leften, wir kommen jetzt in den Kommentaren zu sehen, ob sie sich in den Pylon-Strukturen befinden können.

01:41:09 They're above us right now. Go back, go back, go back. I'm going back this way. We're killing this. We're hardfighting this, yeah. I popped down. Use everything, use everything. I'm smoking. I smoked, I smoked.

01:41:26 He's right there, he threw a nade, he threw a nade, no nade, no nade. Fight for the kills, fight for the kills. I'm swinging, I'm swinging, I'm swinging. Wait, so much damage. There's one, I'm buying, buying, buying. One. Grab the saw, grab the saw. On our door. I'm holding door, I'm holding door. 70, kill them, kill them. Kill them, kill them, kill them. I'm burning them, I'm burning them. Chill, chill, chill, chill. Heel, heal, heal.

Tempera's Top-3-Lauf und Meatlovers' Chancen in Match 3

01:41:55

01:41:55 Hey, they're out, they're out, they're out. Go right, go right, go right. Good comms, good comms, very good comms. Keep moving right. He's on the head glitch on the right. Heal, heal, heal, heal, heal. Go swap, go swap. We just have to fight. On me, on me, on me, it's safe. On me, it's safe. I'm on one. Well, as we're into our top three, Tempera making a run right now, and the chance tower getting those ults back down was a huge play from them.

01:42:16 Ja, Tempertrunner gibt es eine Chance, um zu Match Point zu kommen, hier in Match Nummer 3. Sie haben 37 Punkte als es standen, mit ein paar Kills hier und einem Win, aber nein, das wird nicht passieren. Meatlovers nehmen sie, und Meatlovers jetzt haben Red Armour, und sie haben eine Position zu arbeiten, aber sie sind direkt in eine andere Kampf.

01:42:37 Das ist die Frage. Das ist die Frage.

01:43:05 Und wenn der Mann steht da, einfach nur auf ihn, erinnert ihn, erinnert ihn, erinnert ihn, erinnert ihn. Ich liebe das. Sie sehen, Knockdown Shields wird ein großes Problem sein. Knockdown Shields können ein Kampf geben. Wie kann ein Knockdown Shields delayen? Wie kann ein Knockdown Shields geben? Send jemanden in die sky. Und das ist der perfekte Weg zu gewinnen, 1v1. Das ist ein Mann, das ist ein Mann, das ist ein Mann, das ist ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann, ein Mann.

01:43:33 I'd always be favoring a Horizon versus a Caustic for the majority of fights in open space like that, but it's always a beautiful way when you see the gravlift used in that instance. Yeah, so it's good to see creativity, right? We see it quite a lot in those endgames sometimes. It's like people get a little bit caught up in the moment. They're like, okay, I've got to play around my knockdown shield. It's the ability to realize what is your utility, what you have available that's going to give you an advantage to win this fight. You probably realize that the Caustic...

01:44:00 Ich glaube, es gibt einen Ultimator, sonst würden sie nicht in die Position sein, dass sie in der End-Game-Fight waren, mit ihm zu benutzen den Ultimator zu gehen. Es gibt Barrels, und er kann den Barrels, und er kann den Barrels, und er kann den Barrels, als sie in der Sky sind. Er hat die Advantage, wenn er das Knocht-Down-Chill-Battle, dass er die Queue ist. Manchmal sieht man das, dass man die Queue ist. Manchmal sieht man das, dass man die Queue ist. Die Gravelift ist das, was gewonnen hat, und ich glaube, dass man die Queue ist, dass man die Queue ist. Die Gravelift ist das, was gewonnen hat, und ich denke, dass man die Black Hole, um den Platz zu geben, um den Platz zu geben, um ihn zu bekommen, um ihn zu bekommen, um ihn zu bekommen.

01:44:29 From there he was just super confident and you could just see that he never really felt like he was going to lose that fight.

01:44:34 In general, the fact that Meat Lovers had to go from fight to fight in that quick fashion as well was very impressive, how quickly they turned their targets to the other team that was pushing them. We can look at the match results now and see just how many points were accumulated for said Meat Lovers, and it's going to be 23 points on the board. It's big games like that that may just earn you a position in the Pro League. Yeah, very impressive stuff from them. They will be very, very close now to match point, you would imagine. Weave just in behind them, 9kp for them, 18 points.

01:45:03 Tempa! Wir sahen, dass das Endgame auch, das Chargetower zu geben, um die Möglichkeit zu nutzen, um all ihre Ols in der Kampf, die sie in der Top-3-Position zu haben. Ein guter K.P. als auch. Und jetzt nach der Top-4, die Evolution, die erste Notable-Gamer heute waren, waren die Point-Sponges. Alle anderen waren nur für Scraps.

01:45:24 Ja, aber das Scraps, wie ich immer sage, kann sehr wichtig sein, wenn es um Krunsch zu kämpfen und zu kämpfen für die Top 8 Positionen. So, obwohl ein 5-Pointer, ein 3-Pointer nicht so wichtig ist, es könnte die 3-Pointer-0-Pointer sein, die die Unterschiede zwischen Pro League Split 2 oder nicht sein. Even LMAO, 5 Kills, aber keine Placement Points. Aber wieder, die 5-Pointer-Pointer-Pointer-Pointer-Pointer.

01:45:50 Wir werden uns in Lauren und Vickie überlegen, was wir jetzt weitergehen. Wir werden uns in Lauren und Vickie überlegen, was wir jetzt weitergehen. Wir werden uns alle sehen, wie wir uns alle sehen. Wow, es ist alles gut. Es ist gut. Ja, ich meine, das war ein, das war ein, vielleicht weniger als erstes halb des Tages, glaube ich. Wir waren wunderschön, was die competition hier in N.A., und wir sind jetzt drei Matches in.

01:46:19 Everything looks a lot more even, Vicky, especially with the teams having pop-off performances in their individual matches, but then falling off after that and really starting to level the playing field a little bit.

Enge Konkurrenz und Matchpoint-Potenzial in Spiel 4

01:46:32

01:46:32 Yeah, that last game had me so hyped. If I was Tech, I'd be sweating a little bit. Like, not Serial Cat, not him too, please. Not again. No, aside from that, looking at how everyone's been playing, I agree, Lauren. Everyone's really close together in terms of their progress so far after, what, three games alone? I believe this sets up Meat Lovers to have 42 points too. So this next game four could mean everything.

01:46:54 Yeah, because heading into this match, it was Stallions, CCE and the Edgers that were in the top three spot. And they were some teams, Dan, that actually struggled here now in this third match, unable to get the points. Stallions specifically, I think they were down at the bottom with zero in the third match. So it just shows that we are not seeing the same type of steamroll in this region. Yeah, Stallions eliminated, I think, first in match number three there. And it's not Mark speaking, but I can understand the confusion. We do often, you know, we look alike with the same kind.

01:47:24 Und wir sehen uns, was wir tun, was wir tun, was wir tun, was wir tun können und was wir tun können. Und wir sehen uns...

01:47:42 Weave would probably be my biggest surprise out of that game in particular, the way they were able to bully certain teams out of buildings. They had so much confidence in their teamfighting, and I think confidence is going to be everything as this day goes on. I mean, after seeing a little bit of an uptick there from Meat Lovers, do you think that they could potentially be one of the teams that start to kind of kick it into high gear and nail down Matchpoint out of everyone that even started to get close to it to start the day here, Mark?

01:48:09 I'm not sure at the moment. Honestly, I feel like the lobby is kind of, it feels like one team has a very big game and everybody else is kind of picking up some scraps and you're seeing things change. And we kind of joked about it when we were saying, hey, Amir ended so quickly. It was three games and we had a match point and we were just playing out for the rest of the placement. So I feel like this is going to be very, very different. I feel like we're going to have at least five or six teams on match point before we even get close to deciding who's going to take it home.

01:48:35 Meat Lovers have been involved in quite a few endgames, though. So I'm kind of looking at those at the moment as maybe the frontrunners for a team who, if they do hit Matchpoint, have shown the ability to close out games. Five or six teams on Matchpoint is a situation we are very familiar with. So it'll be interesting to see who those squads are when we get to that point. Before we continue on with the action, let's go back and review those final circles for the first three matches. Lots of action went down. Vicky, for match number one, talk me through those moments.

01:49:02 Ich meine, das ist ein Spiel, der Stallions kam und kam, und definitiv machte eine impression nach dem ersten Spiel, wirklich mit 14 Kp. Aber das ist die Art, wie sie es gemacht haben hier. Sie sehen, die Lobos sind in die Körner, bevor sie zu bringen. Sie waren solo. Sie haben die High-Ground für jetzt hier, auch in diesem Fall. Aber mit dem Starten mit 6 extra Points, 14 Kp, als sie die South-Side von Epi haben, bevor sie in die High-Ground gehen. Das war einfach für Stallions. Jetzt, ob sie können, wenn sie in den nächsten Spiel gehen können,

01:49:31 Das ist die Frage hier. Aber sie haben sich die Art, wie sie in diesem Spiel waren.

01:49:36 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, aber dann geht es um 2-2, Dan. Ja, 2-2, eine interessante Final-Circle. Die Final-Remainer-Player mussten wir uns zu beenden, bevor wir uns 3-v-3 haben. Die Edges waren die 3-team, aber dann NoName, von der Height und von der Distance, sahen sie in eine Prime-Position zu nehmen. Und es war eine schwierige Kampf gegen NoName, aber dann die Ultimates kam in

01:50:06 NGNL eine Chance, aber dann war es ein sehr guter Push von NoName, einfach nur zu verändern. Und dann, wenn du eine Wraith verletzt hast, wirst du ein bisschen anders sein. Du wissen, dass Legend Selection ein bisschen verändert wird. Und es macht für ein sehr viel Elongated-Fight, dass wir vielleicht nicht unbedingt erwarten können, was man nicht sehen, in den 3-3-3-3s. Aber in der Ende, NGNL war es geschafft.

01:50:29 Wir haben noch ein paar Rampart-Walls gesucht, wie wir sehen uns auch. Aber dann ist es Nummer 3, um die ersten Halbzeit zu Ende zu haben. Marc, talk me through diese finalen Moments. Ich bin Tempo, sie hat den Chargetowern zu bekommen, um sie in die Top-3 zu bekommen. Und Meatlovers, hier waren wir, oh, no, Tech. Oh, no, wir sind in der Crossfire. Aber ich muss sagen, Serial Cat war die...

01:50:51 Final boss of this endgame. You see he picks up the first two kills. Not only does he do that, he then uses the black hole. Just gives himself enough time to pop that battery. Destroys the barrel that comes towards him as well. And then you're like, wait, that nade's going to be a problem. That's going to take down so much of those knockdown shields. Slides out of it, then takes the high ground. Then you're like, oh, he's in charge here. Again, the caustic, he's got some good damage down. But then the Q comes in just as he pops the bat.

01:51:16 Und wenn du nicht in 1v1 hast, es wird für dich sein. So Serialcat, der King des Endgame, hat alle drei Kills, glaube ich es war. Und die 1v1 Kutsche in den Enden setzt sie auf den Topf der Leaderboards. Ja, Meatlover ist jetzt wirklich gut hier. 42 Punkte, nur 8 Punkte shy von dem Match.

01:51:33 But quite a few other squads within striking distance if they are able to have a strong performance here. Vicky, we mentioned them. We saw Stallions up there. CCE now Temper at 37 points. Literally, the next match could have multiple teams on Match Point depending on how much KP they're able to get.

01:51:48 Yeah, and this has just been the message from NA for a while now, right? A lot of these teams are just so close when it comes to skill that this being as close as it is, it's no surprise here. But I definitely agree. Game number four is going to mean everything while we are still on Storm Point. Can these teams ride that momentum specifically looking at Meat Lovers? Can they just close it out already where they could be at Match Point and then be comfortable on World Edge for game five? We're going to have to see.

01:52:10 Das wird wichtig sein. Wir sehen uns wenn unsere Stormpoint-Specialist-Squads in PLQ jetzt können etwas tun mit dem letzten Match, bevor wir die Mapps wiederholfen. Aber wir sehen uns auf die zweite Seite.

01:52:21 Pretty big points fall off here, Dan, when we get here. This is going to be some of these teams that need to start picking it up considering how close the top of the leaderboard is. Yeah, 19th and 20th. Their day is starting to look pretty rough. You'd have to have a victory, a pretty big one to get back into the mix of things. But even the likes of DNO at 18th, it is not done yet because you are close enough that with a victory, you are going to be up there. But it's starting to look a little bit more dicey. After three matches, you'd be expecting a little bit more from some of these guys.

01:52:50 We'll have to see them pick things up as we head into match number four.

Blick auf die Split 1 Playoffs und die Bedeutung der PLQ

01:52:55

01:52:55 I'm excited to see what all these squads can bring to the table here. Not to mention, we'll keep reminding you there are only eight spots available to get to Split 2. But before we even get to Split 2, we obviously have our Split 1 playoffs. You hear us keep talking about it and we're not going to stop anytime soon because literally it's a week and a half away and every single LAN is always so jam-packed with so much to do. The gameplay is always insane. And well, you don't believe me?

01:53:24 Check this out!

01:54:08 Ich habe die B-Stream als auch. Es ist so viel zu tun.

01:54:17 I'm so excited, man. I'm going to get my feet in the ocean. I'm going to be ready to go. I should probably turn up at the event as well, which is more important to talk about. But I mean, with the fact we're back on LAN, just take a second to remember what happened last year and how every event somehow felt like it outdid the previous one. It's a new season, everybody. There's going to be even more incredible stories, incredible moments we're going to be talking about for years to come. It's your first time going to a live event. You're going to have an absolute blast if it's your...

01:54:45 Ihr 10th event, whatever it might be. If you've gone to every single one, it's still going to surprise you. Honestly, I can't wait. I feel extremely blessed. And, you know, it's always a special moment to be a part of these things. So, yeah, I can't wait. Yeah, I know that everybody is incredibly excited to get to all the action. But we've got to finish out PLQ before we do that. Match number four is ready to go. So this time it is Dan and Vicky. Take it away.

01:55:06 Thank you so much, Glitter. Dancing their way over to L.A. I mean, seeing that video always gets me so hyped, Dan. But that's also another reason why these teams that we're casting over right now for the PLQ are looking for their opportunity to maybe have their chance for Split 2 LAN, all right? So only eight spots available here, and it is incredibly tight looking at the competition.

01:55:29 Yeah, I mean, I'm always thinking about the World Championships, but there's two lands before we even get there, which is what was crazy. And I think everyone's right. Each land seems to get better and better. It's an unbelievable experience being there, let alone being able to commentate there. As Mark was alluding to, it is amazing that we get to be a part of such an incredible scene and such an incredible game.

01:55:48 Come watch it. It's going to be brilliant, especially if you're a local. And if you're not a local and you want to make your way over, definitely do that as well, because it will be worth the travel, I promise you. Now, heading into match number four. We've already seen three different winners in one, two, and three. It's a very tight lobby here in the PLQ Finals. Are we going to see anyone get onto match point? Meat Lovers are the closest. They're already about eight points away from crossing that match point threshold. So we are definitely getting six matches. We already know that today, but we might see a...

01:56:18 auf Matchpoint nach diesem einen.

01:56:20 I have faith. We're going to have to wait and see. I mean, Tech isn't waiting at all. I mean, he's already inventory managing right now. We went quick with the POIs. Everybody already landed where they needed to go to get the loot that they needed. But I love this little flyby following Tech because not only is he's not only trying to get the loot as quickly as possible, but we're seeing Serial Cat ETH now coming through. ETH has been putting in a lot of damage, by the way. Already 2.1k after three games alone. Meat Lovers vying for that number one spot to qualify for split.

01:56:50 2.

01:56:51 And this is a good circle for the Lovers of Meat as well. It is going to be heading slightly northeast. Oh, I say slightly. That's pretty heavily northeast. Command Center and Lightning Rod are very much going to be the focus areas for a lot of these teams. Sometimes it does end between Lightning Rod and Stormcatcher. But you want to find areas that are playable for a long amount of time. And Meat Lovers, they should be able to do that from their position. They do have a ring console as well. So they're going to have that information of where to move from. As are ICBM from...

01:57:20 So two of the teams that are going to be in prime position. And then you've got CCE who dropped towards Command Center, maybe could play that height between Command Center and Lightning Rod. That's certainly one of the more favorable positions with a circle like this as well.

01:57:33 Ich denke, es kann so viel Platz für das, wenn sie für die High-Ground position gehen können. Dann können sie versuchen, Teams wie ICBM, Meat Lovers, wenn sie auf die High-Ground auf die High-Ground über Command Center wollen. Das würde inevitably führen zu Zoo Station. Temper, mit der Quick-Rotate, ihr könnt schon sehen, ein Fight, das könnte passieren können. Es wird Temper versus ICBM geben, aber mehr Teams wie Pukyabba, die Zeit auf die South-Side gehen.

01:57:59 I think there will be a few more teams who are going to take their time just seeing this circle, because similarly to some of the circles we've already seen today, without too much playable space, you are putting yourself in a pretty tough scenario if you try and get there in the kind of mid-game, because you were going to be beaten to the pulp by a lot of the squads who were dropping in the surrounding POI, so you have to be a bit more patient. Now start to work on your Evo instead in the surrounding areas to make sure you're leveling everything up.

01:58:26 There's a lot of White Armors that I'm seeing in the early stages here, though, that's for sure, as teams now just trying to think about how they try and level those up, whether it be contesting other squads at the Harvesters, or maybe just hitting some Survey Beacons on their way. Or if you're a team that can't hit a Survey Beacon, then making sure you find a Ring Console, and of course, vice versa. Even hitting that Black Market here, too, with the Quick Loot from CCE. Also going to be able to get the Scan on the Care Pack, get some extra Evo.

01:58:55 Points for your whole squad But while they do hold on to this high ground right here Nice to note that ICBM and Temper have now made their rotate over to the left side of where CCE is located over the other side of the mountain here

01:59:08 So many other squads, though, even Meatlovers, they went rotating all the way around Lightning Rod, past the mountain, and are now trying to approach from the Stormcatcher side. So taking a much more roundabout rotate, well, they'll inevitably be met with Puck. Yeah, but a team that isn't doing so hot in the other side of the overall standings. Yeah, they're struggling. They were one of the two teams that we pointed out when we did see the overall standings. But one big game, it can really change the way your day is going to go.

01:59:36 Brown just dropping the Evac Tower as they look to make their way a little bit closer in the circle, whether they try and force their way somewhere in Command Center, it's going to be interesting to see the position they take. It looks like they're going to take a slightly southern route, but they are going to be flying straight past a couple of other teams here, so they're going to be a little bit vulnerable, but they might actually be able to use this high ground to their advantage.

01:59:59 So I wanted to try to get that survey beacon here too. Yep, that's what they're going to be able to prioritize for now. And it looks like their loot pool is actually fantastic. I saw a gold extended heavy mag in the eyes of McWolves. Now as they try to move forward here, just trying to take up some more of that space. January is going to be able to take a look at if any other teams are waiting on the outskirts of Command Center, which would be eternal actually as they make this rotate. So many other squads though, even Stallions and Eevee Lucian who are going to be right behind Brown while they try to take control over Command Center.

02:00:29 I think we'll be saying that a lot throughout this game as well. Taking control of Command Center. Can anyone truly do it? And if you do manage to take control of it, how long is it going to be for? It's going to be almost like King of the Ring at the top of Command Center, I feel, with a lot of teams trying to take one another off of it.

02:00:45 LMAO, however, are going to hold Stormcatcher, another viable position to be holding for the majority of this game. It may shift away from you, most likely going to shift away from you as we get to the latter stages, but definitely KP to be picked up here. And we did see in the previous game, LMAO, no placement points, but five kill points. If they can continue playing that way, if they can continue getting five points every single game, they're in a pretty good position to still qualify for Pro League. They're in eighth at the moment, but consistency is key.

02:01:12 Being on that cusp, I mean, you got the KP, but it's about all that placement that you could get the extra points here for, while teams like Milo are slowing things down just a little bit. Once again, not trying to get too heavily involved. They see the team right next to them taking the gravity cannon. The opposite of trying to be low-key here.

02:01:29 ... ... ... ... ...

02:01:52 All right, well, we're yeeting our way right through with the Dome on top of the Trident and with no damage taken, at least so as they try their best to not take that much damage. NGNL Esports gets shot from the high ground here.

02:02:05 We saw something very similar happen in Game 3, where NGNL did exactly the same Bubble Onto Trident Play, and it didn't work out. This time we can see that sometimes that crazy idea does work out, and now they find themselves somewhere to call home. As for Meat Lovers, this is a huge opportunity for them, Vicky, because they could be the only team potentially on Match Point after this game if they get there, so they really need to take advantage of that and not let this moment slip through their fingers, but the first kind of way of doing that is actually

Matchpoint-Rennen und strategische Entscheidungen in Spiel 4

02:02:35

02:02:35 8 points ist nicht ein komfortes Points total zu erreichen. Das ist nicht so viel, aber das ist ein paar Placements oder ein paar Kills.

02:02:45 Und diejenige Team hinter mir ist Temper. Sie haben 37 Punkte, eine 5-point-difference hier. Und sie werden in viel mehr der Chaos auf der Norden, wo das Circle ist, als wir schauen, an Stallions zu sehen. Und in Hand mit Alberlele. Trennend mit Alberlele. Gets die Kräcke immediately. Kann sie den Fall-Up auf den Valk? Ich liebe die Bang-Oltin, es wird auch Zeit für diese Team, zu ihrem Norden, um sie zu retten, um sie wollen, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten.

02:03:15 Also a risky time to use a banger. You don't want to just throw it out willy nilly. You need to be using it at very effective times, but it probably is going to help them out in this scenario. But now they need to hope that they have some form of getting that ultimate back a little bit quicker, excuse me, with some accelerants. But the stallions, they're on the hunt at the moment and looking to try and see if they can find the team that they were chasing after. You can see the pings.

02:03:38 Das ist für sicherlich.

02:03:59 That overlooks the ziplines to the south side of that Evo Harvester. A nice little overhead here, though, to highlight the high ground that we were mentioning earlier on for the teams that wanted to rotate away from Command Center. I believe that's going to be ICBM, who have made that rotate out of Command Center, now have been able to hold that high ground here. And with Temper being right next to them, they could be the squad probably playing the low ground by the tunnel side from the squads that want to rotate away from the wall.

02:04:26 One of the last teams I expected to be in one of the prime positions considering they are in dead last at the moment. But as I mentioned earlier, there are still games to be played. There are still an opportunity if you can find yourself with a big victory here in match number four.

02:04:43 And of course, we're not guaranteed to finish at 6 like we did in EMEA. There may be 7. Could be 8. Could be upwards of 10, depending on how this day goes and how quickly teams can actually win once they reach match point. Now, Tripods, 14 points they find themselves on. They've had a very interesting PLQ. They started off in Winners' Round 1. They got...

02:05:04 into a position where they found themselves in elimination round one. But then from elimination round one, they were able to win that series and find themselves in the finals here today and win it in a pretty commanding fashion as well. So are we going to be able to see them find that same form that they had yesterday? Because at the moment they are just out.

02:05:23 It's so crazy. And seeing familiar names coming out here too in this lobby to see how they'll do.

02:05:48 mit der cohesie von einem anderen Team oder einem anderen Team mit einem anderen Legend Composition, die sie versuchen hier. Tripod ist ein Team, die jetzt in der Zeit zu nehmen, um das nächste Circle zu nehmen. Sie waren eigentlich auf Evolution, die tief in der Circle waren. Sie wollten das Survey Beacon, aber Tripod ist, dass es nicht wert, um unsere Meds zu nehmen. Aber es gibt so viele Teams auf dem Norden, auf der Rotate. Fury, Bear, Gowata, Temper.

02:06:17 KCBM, Meatlovers in trouble here too. This means everything. There's still 20 squads alive in this lobby and now Tech is the last one alive for Meatlovers. Yeah, last one alive to try and maybe rescue something is on the Crypto. So there is the opportunity to get those banners if you are given said opportunity. But you might have to just try and get out of Dodge here. We're going to have to see what the movement's like of Tech. Can you escape? No, you can't. Meatlovers will not be your match point here in match number four.

02:06:42 Can anyone else get there, though? Temple was the next team that war closer. Now, Tripods do get an extra point. They do get some KP on the board. They're going to be making their way slightly uphill here. This is a difficult fight to take. They get a trade, one versus one. But now they're taking damage from elsewhere.

02:06:57 Und das ist das was wir auch mit dem Rotate haben. Es war ICBM, die wir auf den Hardground haben, seitdem sie von Command Center gehalten hat. Und mit der Havoc und der Turbo und der Turbos sind, werden die zwei Knochs finden, und jetzt werden die Knochs auf D's und Gent. Und jetzt werden die Knochs zurückgehen, weil sie diese KP finden, sie sind immer noch vollständig. Evo, Evelution! Also finden die letzte Mitglieder von Tripods, weil sie in 18.

02:07:24 Das ist ein schweres Pille zu verwenden für den Tripods. Especially wenn du so viel damage hast, wenn du in schwierige Position bist. Aber das ist was wir über die King of the Ring.

02:07:35 Das ist ein High Ground, wo viele Quads werden sich um die Position zu bewegen, um die Position zu bewegen. Du hast Tempur, ICBM, Evolution und Stallions alle kämpfen. Und dann in die Kommand-Center, du hast auch drei oder vier Teams zu bewegen, um die Position zu bewegen. Es gibt nicht viel Raum, und es gibt zu viele Teams auf dem Map. Und als Round 3 closes, sie werden natürlich auch noch mehr kämpfen.

02:07:56 Und ein Quartier von der Circle hat die Mountain in der Zwischenzeit. Das ist das, was wir sehen, viele Teams sind in zwei unterschiedlichen Angeln mit der Anführung von dieser nächsten Circle. Bangle ist auch in hier, versucht es zu gehen, aber es ist ein Team, versucht ihn aus der High-Ground. Hier ist Evie Lucien, versucht ihn zu nehmen, gegen ICBM, die nicht von der Position gehalten haben.

02:08:19 Nice damage, wow, the Vault can really shred, even from distance at times. And Evolution are going to be able to push up on this advantage, and they've created, as I say, that last player trying to escape, but Evolution said no, not going to happen. Tag of an RE45 on the map as well, a gold one, as now that last remaining player who is going to come down from the dropship is not going to be alive for much longer. It was ICBM who, remember, were holding this high ground for quite some time, and they have eventually been forced off of that spot.

02:08:46 15, 14 squads now remain, as teams dropping like flies.

02:08:58 Evolution, who have now taken control over the high ground. That was a huge fight for them to take here, just in terms of positioning, as you can see the nice overhead and where this circle is pooling. Are you kidding me? Eventually, Evolution may have to drop down here from the high ground, but NoName called this out amazingly. The only other team they really have to worry about is Fury coming in from the north side, and as long as they are out of the line of sight of teams like Evolution, once they have to drop down from the high ground for the next circle.

02:09:25 Ja, das ist nicht ein Fun Circle wirklich für jemanden. Also, all die Teams, die auf der anderen Seite der Circle sind, haben sie zu haben. Stallions, wenn sie ein bisschen mehr machen können.

02:09:37 ein bisschen noise auf der westen Seite und dominieren die westen Seite, dann können sie sich in den hochgraden. Und dann können sie in einen der besten Spots sein. Aber es ist definitiv NoName, wie Sie schon erwähnt, die in den Priority-Präsidenten sind. Und es wird Tempura auf dem anderen Seite. So das ist eine große Herausforderung für Tempura. Remember, sie waren die Closeste Team zu Match Point, die wir in der Lobby haben.

02:09:58 Ja, Lohan kann absoluten tun. Sie sind unglaublich, aber beide sind krank. Er gibt den nächsten Knochen, nur ein Spieler leften. Als sie versuchen zu repositionieren, Elberlele was able zu popfen die Shield-Bat hier. Als jetzt, Ja, Lohan wird das Spiel-Bat nehmen. Fully up-to-helf, mit einem Spieler leften. Sie sind zusammen, als ein Duo zu finden, das letzte Traggler, avoiding die Nade. Und nur noch ein Schuss, sie nehmen Tempere. Das zweite Team, das war der höchste Punkt in den overallen Standings.

02:10:23 Well, now that means that Stallions perhaps could be the next team that could maybe reach match point here in match number four. Round four is closing, so this is where we're going to start to see a few of those teams who are still hovering outside, they don't have to fight one another. Fury are one of those, they've already lost one, but they're able to respond with one of their own. Detox the last remaining player here. Is it too late to be dealing the damage? The Triple Take tried to do it, not able to do so, and Fury go down. No Name will survive.

02:10:49 Und None took that fight, noting that that was going to be a team that they have to worry about, but was it too long of a fight here as Stallions are going to take advantage of their positioning, move out of the Ks after they were able to reset from their previous fight, and now I'm exiting out of the Ks, but can we highlight how many Blue Evo squads we're seeing right here over in this building with over five to six teams sharing this one lone POI?

02:11:12 Yeah, a lot of those teams have written console information and moved early and they maybe are going to be paying for that a little bit later because some of these teams that have purples have reds are gonna be able to roll over them. You'd imagine nine squads make it eight because Pukki have gone down. Evolution, they're down to just two. Two players who are quite weak but still doing the damage but sadly will fall. It's AKA versus Evolution right down here on the southwest side and AKA might be able to get back up to an even healthier duo here.

02:11:41 Oh, no Goldknock, so it's gonna take some time to reset here. Well, Lucien are trying to force their way off from the high ground, trying to take a different angle. They sent out the Thermite. You see the pings. They're finally gonna swing on them. It's only up to Yubin, who goes down immediately, gets beamed in that 2v1 here. He does manage to take one down, at least with him for now, but now they're gonna be able to reset here on the high ground with nobody else there to contest them.

02:12:04 Still only No Name that are in this next circle, by the way. So Edges, D&O, Weave and CCE are all in the same building at the moment or in and around it. You've got AKA who are on the western side, but they're being held out by Stallions. My two favorites here, Stallions and No Name. Expect to see both of those teams potentially in this final circle. As for what happens on this southern side, it's going to be just a battle royale at this point. Who can actually escape and who can escape with a healthy trio? That's going to be the big question for me.

02:12:36 Molte called in here. Beast of the Hunt activated. Purples are lighting up the side of the building. While D&O are playing off the low ground though. About to engage with Weed who had dropped down to engage on this fight. The Havik blaring right through Duplex. Rogue gets taken down next here too. Six squads left as D&O get eliminated from this lobby. Weed now trying to reset but this is the green light for the third party to move in to prevent them from resetting.

02:13:01 Can we do the damage? Can they actually reset? It doesn't look like it's happening right now. Riley has taken a lot of damage and will eventually go down. We fall. They were in fourth position, but still some good points for them. As now we start to take a look towards the other teams who are still closing in on match point. Remember Stallions we have to keep an eye on. Even the Edgers have an opportunity of match point here if they're able to find a victory. But it's Edgers, it's no name, it's Stallions as our maybe favorites here. But Edgers are having to send it as all of these other teams now from this high ground are having to drop.

02:13:30 Especially with CCE having to drop down, they get eliminated here too. Edger's helping them out with that, but they're not being focused by Stallings who are now looking to see if they can try to reset. Goes down to the south. This is just an open field day for no need to take shots at everybody to get all the extra KP, considering that they are still in the best spot for this final circle.

02:13:50 Stallions, Edges, No Name. They're your last three teams, and Stallions have sent it onto the Edges. And now there's two teams left, and Stallions are three points away from securing Matchpoint here, Vicky. A win would do it for them, but can they take down No Name? See, they can do it back-to-back now with the bang-old coming in. No Name have the health advantage and the number advantage. They get a knock. It's only two left, and they know how low they are. Here comes the Kossig. Make way for the gas. No Name, take the game.

02:14:20 Ja, es war einfach für sie. Sie wussten, dass die einzige Team hinter ihnen war, die einzige Team da war.

02:14:49 So they just have to play incredibly patient, take that fight to them when they saw the other teams fighting, and then just wait for it to be an open field day.

02:14:55 Yeah, it's a tough scenario if you are the team who is kind of on that southern side and you're waiting to see what's happened. Is there another team that's going to be jumping on us? And as soon as you see the Caustic Gas, the barrels coming towards you, the grenades coming towards you, you realize that maybe your day is done. It's going to be tough for Stallions because they probably realized they were so, so close to match point. But now they only need three points going into match number five. That is a very achievable number for sure. So we should be seeing teams start to get to match point now as we go into the next match.

02:15:23 Especially since we are also making that transition into World's Edge where they already found that dub for game number one. So they will be able to at least carry a little bit of that progress from StorePoint over as we take a look at the match results from that previous game.

02:15:35 Game 4, though, we saw a lot of the chaos happening from the squads that had to rotate over to that south side of Stormpoint through Command Center. We saw basically a split in division of all the teams that were fighting, whether they were fighting over to the right side of Command Center or right through the high ground of Command Center, or even looking at Stallions with their rotate from the under part where Temper was originally at, where they were able to rotate underneath Command Center side. No Name finished things off with 6KP. Stallions right behind them with 6KP themselves getting that second place spot.

02:16:05 But still, there are teams who are picking up a consistent amount of points. We've put 10 on the board with 7 kills, aka with 8 kills, by the way, really being able to find their way into a lot of engagements. Edge is also putting 14 points on the board. He's going to put them in a really good spot for Pro League because, yes, okay, you might not be necessarily in a position to get to match points straight away and have the opportunity to win the entire day. But if you can stay in and around, not just the top eight, but the top four for keeping yourself a little bit more comfortable, then the likelihood is you will.

02:16:34 ...we'll be competing in Pro League during Split 2. As we look at the second half, we look at some of the teams that struggled to find some of the points. Tripods, they got three kills, but sadly they were eliminated a little bit too early. Meatlovers also, they were the team who were closest to getting match point at the beginning of that match, but they weren't able to find a single point. As I said, eight points is an annoying number to be on because you are close, but not quite close enough to play too conservatively. You kind of have to still play in the same way, but sadly didn't work out for...

02:17:04 Ja, es ist...

02:17:25 Crazy how close it is, but also kind of wild that we still don't have a team on match point. But that's what we were expecting, I think, coming into day one today. To game one today, excuse me. If we didn't see the Edgers find the same consistency they did throughout the qualifying stages. Down in the second half, again, 19th and 20th. Your time is probably looking like a bit of a struggle to getting into Pro League. You're going to need a...

02:17:49 Probably a miracle now at this point, but sometimes you do have those miracle games. They can happen, so it's never over until it's over. Unless you're dropping 20 bombs back to back all of a sudden out of nowhere here. It's going to be incredibly difficult though, Dan. It is going to be difficult indeed, but the only way to see it is if we get to match five and to do so. We have to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.

02:19:52 wo wir starten mit einem Team über die Threshold von Matchpoint, denn alle sind so, so close. 50 Punkte ist auf dem Horizont für 4 oder 5, vielleicht sogar 6 oder 7 Teams. Und du hast das Gefühl, dass es in diesem nächsten Spiel wird.

02:20:08 Coulda, woulda, shoulda. But is that what we're going to be saying at the end of this game? Because even though we've been in this scenario before where teams are like three points away, five points away, or like me, Lovers, last game, eight points away, that could very easily slip through your fingers if you start to change your playstyle a little bit. Yes, I would say World's Edge is a little bit easier to get over towards Matchpoint because it's going to be more comfortable. You can play Zone a little bit better than Stormpoint at times. But it's going to be about pressure here.

02:20:34 Pressure is where this really comes into effect here in any sort of matchpoint games. When you're starting to get closer to that threshold, especially when you are that close that you know you only need a few points because you say, alright, well, you know, that's just one teamfight, so maybe we just take a teamfight at the start of the game. You lose that teamfight and suddenly your chance in matchpoint is gone. Do you want to then play for a chance of placement points? Oh, well, you know, all we have to do is get into, like, the top eight and then we're fine.

02:21:02 Es ist sehr schwierig zu erreichen, wenn du nicht in den Kampf bist. So diese Teams müssen das in die Zusammenarbeit machen und wirklich haben eine Planung hier in Match 5. Ich fühle mich jetzt an dieser Stelle, dass du, wenn du 6, 7 oder weniger Punkte bist, von Match Point bist, dass du eine Zone das lange weit entfernt bist, so du kannst und Tally-up dein Evo machen, dass du, wenn du ein Kampf bist, dass du vollständig zu tun bist. Purples, Reds, was es vielleicht.

02:21:28 ...evo armors, um zu machen, dass du in den Kampf gehst, dass du in den Kampf gehst, dass du in den Kampf gehst, dass du in den Kampf gehst, dass du in den Kampf gehst, dass du in den Kampf gehst. So, es ist quasi der komplett OPPOSITE von was du in Apex sagen würdest. Du willst gewinnen, du willst die Zone close zu dir, so du hast Priio. Aber ich finde, wenn du nur ein paar Punkte von Matchpoint bist, und das ist dein Ziel für viele Teams, ... was ist der größte Weg für uns zu gewinnen? Wie solltest du gewinnen? Wie solltest du gewinnen? Wie solltest du gewinnen?

02:21:53 Das ist wahrscheinlich der beste Weg zu gehen, oder der beste Weg zu gehen.

Match 5: World's Edge und Team-Prognosen

02:22:17

02:22:17 Es ist auf der Weg, wir sind zurück zu World's Edge. Wir werden sehen, dass wir ein Team cross-Matchpoint sehen. Es scheint, es sollte hier sein, es sollte jetzt sein, aber es gibt immer noch die Möglichkeit, dass es nicht passieren kann. Ich habe eine lustige Meinung, dass wir ein Team cross-Matchpoint sehen. Es ist nicht nur ein Team, es wird nur ein Team geben. Ich gehe mit drei. Ich würde sagen, als ein bolder Mann, aber ich würde sagen, als ein bolder Prediktion.

02:22:42 Ich denke, es wird so viele Teams sind close. Ich denke, es wird viele Teams werden es tun. Wir werden es sehen, ob wir es auf den Weg gehen. Wir werden es sehen, ob wir es auf den Weg gehen. Wir werden es auf den Weg gehen. Wir werden es auf den Weg gehen. Wir werden es auf den Weg gehen.

02:23:11 Similares pattern to what we saw in the first one, no funny business to speak of so far on the lobby. Circle-wise, it's gonna be a familiar setting. Epicenter, but probably a little bit further east than the epicenter finish we saw previously. Fragment is going to be a perfect place to hold for the time being. You could go for the kind of upper areas over towards Overlook as well on that eastern side. You could hold that for quite some time, so a team like ICBM might be able to be in a position for that. They have Ring Console as well.

02:23:40 So both of those teams are going to have an opportunity to get into some of the better positions. NGNL at Monument also have Ring Console, so they'll get the good information that the circle is coming towards them. Not the best circle for the likes of Fury and Evolution, though. They're going to have to move quite some time, but Evolution do have Ring Console, so they can make that decision to move soon if they would like to. Interesting. Meat Lovers have, I would say, almost a perfect circle, right? And for them to get the points that they need, because they've got

02:24:10 The ability to hit Ring Console over at Stax. They also have the Survey Beacon over at Stax. They have Evos that they can pick up on their way north. They've got one over at Geyser, I believe. They've got one just outside of Big Mord as well. So there's also another Ring Console they can hit if they wanted to get third beacon information. But I think for a lot of teams, this is a zone that they would know very well. I'm pretty sure this is one that's going to end around the bins just on the bottom side of the...

02:24:33 der Ultimate Height-Of-Epicenter-Towards-Fragment-Itself. So it's one that people should feel pretty comfortable with if they do have their early zone info. And NGNL Esports, they're going to be playing down on the low ground here around the truck. So that's where they think it's going to be going. And we'll have to see if that's going to be the case.

02:24:51 Es gibt ein paar Teams mit der Rotation zu sein. Ich denke, wenn du von South-West zu North-East geht, gibt es so viele verschiedene Choke-Points, die du vielleicht sogar durchführen kannst. Du musst deine Anbücher anschauen, und es schlösen deine Anbücher. Du musst deine Anbücher durchführen. Du musst die Anbücher durchführen. Du musst die Anbücher durchführen. Du musst die Anbücher durchführen. Du musst die Anbücher durchführen.

Taktische Überlegungen und Team-Positionierungen

02:25:16

02:25:16 Ja, das ist ein sehr guter Platz für die Pro-League.

02:25:37 Pretty sure they had ring console where they landed, so they're going to have info on whether so. Yeah, they do have the ring console. So they have a good idea of where the zone is going, but they also know that they're probably going to be a little bit later than some of the other teams around them. Weave is going to be very close to them at the moment as well. So it's a case of, do we play like a safe spot that we can play for quite some time like they are right now in the bar and know that this is going to be safe for quite some time or wait for the lobby to whittle down? Or do we try and be a little bit more aggressive and take an early fight and take an even better position knowing that?

02:26:06 Ja, ich glaube, wir sind in einem guten Platz.

02:26:30 Ich habe meine Hattes auf dem Weave, weil sie kamen aus dem Elimination Bracket kamen, so sie hatten keine Vantage Points, aber sie finden sich in den Top 5. Das ist auch für Tripods. Tripods haben eigentlich Topped Weave in der Elimination-Match-Up-Serie, aber sie finden sich ein bisschen weiter hinter den Likes von Weave und noch mit einem Job zu machen, um das Top 8 zu machen. Und die Closer wir zu Match 6 und die Closer wir zu Match Point kommen, die mehr Zeit sind.

02:27:00 zu haben, zu finden die Punkte zu finden. Wir müssen Trifots finden etwas bald. Sie müssen das Spiel wiederholfen, wo sie weitergehen können. Und sie werden in die Final-Circle wiederholfen, um die Punkte zu finden.

02:27:17 ein Caustic-Alt, das wirklich ein Problem ist. Interessant zu sehen, warum das Caustic-Alt war eigentlich in das Position ist, weil es nicht wirklich aussieht, dass sie eine große Worte sind. Vielleicht ist es nur ein Fall, dass sie eine große Worte sind. Vielleicht ist es nur ein Fall, dass sie ein Ape-Ape-Ape-Situation haben, wo sie einen Rundern zu tun haben, und sie denken, oh, wir müssen was, was wir können, um, um, mehr Zeit und mehr Zeit zu machen. Aber, um, das, ich würde sagen, ist, wahrscheinlich der wichtigste Ultimative aus allen in der Composition, das early, ohne das vieles Ergebnis, ist immer ein bisschen ein Problem.

02:27:47 There's a lot of concern across the map at the moment with a lot of these teams that are forcing their way through certain areas. I hate going through Landslide. I think you're very vulnerable. There's not too much position to play. And even if you do find a position to play, you're often griefed by someone who has an angle on you. And Fury are doing just that. They're able to get a knock and the finish onto one player. But can they find enough kills? And can they get a little bit further in this game to send themselves closer to that top eight as well? You can see one of the remaining players just kind of scarpering away.

02:28:16 But it looks like Fury are going to surround them here. No scoffering allowed. Instead, you're stuck in one of these RVs. Caustic is going to slow this push down, but you feel this is inevitable, right? It's a case of just biding time, looking for opening damage. And when the Caustic barrels are gone, then, well, it's just free pickings. Three guns versus two is usually a pretty easy sum, even for me, to work out how the result is going to be. There are the final shots coming in now, and yeah, indeed, ground will go down.

02:28:45 Und das ist eine sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr kämpft für Führer. Sie haben das erste Knoll, sie haben das erste Knoll. Als wir das erste Knoll fallen aus der Lobby finden, wir sind auf 19. Und die mehr Knoll fallen, die besser es ist für die Likes von Stallions, die drei Punkte entfernt von Matchpoint sind. Und all sie wirklich brauchen ist, was in die Top 8? Und dann ist es Job done. Sie können Top 10 plus ein Knoll. Das ist einfach so.

02:29:10 Sie bekommen einen Punkt, wenn Sie in den Top 15 sind. Sie sind jetzt ein Stück weit entfernt, das LMAO ist jetzt. Sie sind in den 11en Platz, aber es sieht man, dass sie sich nicht weit entfernt sind, weil sie bereits zwei Spieler verloren haben. Ja, Usaben ist jetzt einfach so weit weg. Er ist wirklich in eine horrible Situation. Er hat sich für die Banners zu spielen.

02:29:31 Otherwise, this is just going to be game over, especially with 19 squads remaining. He does manage to pick one up. One good thing for him is that there's two teams fighting. If I'm him, I'm thinking about getting both banners and running out of there. Swaps the Evo over to make sure that he can get out, but... Did he manage to get both there? Nah, just the one. Yeah, it's a shame. I think he wanted to try and get two, but the second banner was in a little bit more of a vulnerable position.

02:29:56 I think they'd rather just get back up to a two and have a chance to actually compete in the lobby rather than throw away the entire game to try and get all three. Sometimes you just have to take what you're given and go for a fullback plan because there's just so many teams in this area at the moment it would be too much of a risk. ICBM trying to clean up the last bit of damage here and make sure that the space is all theirs.

02:30:19 Wir sehen uns ein oder zwei Spieler fallen in die Lobby auf der Backs oder in die Death Boxen, aber noch mehr Team Wipe von dem wir sehen.

02:30:35 The Pods, I like that. Pods. We can nickname them that if they qualify for Pro League and if we start talking about a little bit more in Split 2.

02:31:03 They're certainly still in the question. It's not like they are out of it. They are in touching distance of the top eight. They just need that one game to send them there. As the circle closes now, the last remaining player of LMAO is going to have to be forced into the likes of Weave. Fury and NoName are currently fighting on the southwest as well. As Tripod's still posturing up against the likes of ICBM and Eternal here. There are gunfights that are going to be happening and have to happen with where this circle is going.

02:31:31 Evac's gonna be popped here by Fury. They're one of the teams I mentioned who are outside of that zone and they're just gonna be able to hit the Evac just before the zone closes in on them. Won't take too much damage on their way up as well. So it's a really solid timing on the Evac. Where do they play from here? Is it gonna be the middle structure of Monument? Is it gonna be a team there? Just looking across at the moment. It looks like that would have been free, but instead they're gonna play for the other west side of it. Maybe because there's a couple of bins that they can hit as well as a replicator for them to...

02:31:59 und vielleicht ein paar Bats oder Meds oder Ammo auch. Das ist etwas, glaube ich, nicht genug über die Replicators gesprochen. Jeder ist immer in der Craft-er-Konversation. Bats und Med-Kits, Bats und Med-Kits, das ist was du benutzt. Aber das ist ein 120er Ammo. Das ist wirklich ein großer Faktor, besonders wenn du einen im Endeffekt hast. Oh, es kann ein Gott senden, wenn du dich bist, für sicher. Und es hat sich die Difference-Maker für einige Teams in... ...later Circles.

Matchpoint-Anwärter und strategische Herausforderungen

02:32:26

02:32:26 You can see Board and NGNL, and there's one remaining player of Puckier? No, there's a couple remaining players from Puckier in the center zone, or closer to the center zone at the moment. Stallion's also in that conversation as well. Remember, Stallion's only need the three points, so if they can pick up some KP here, or if they can find themselves with a really easy fight to send themselves on, then they could potentially be on match point after match five here.

02:32:51 Tripods also in a little bit of a fight here against Eternal. You can see that around the replicator on the right hand side of your screen on the east side of this zone. No Name and Weave continuing to poke away at each other. The Edges are living up to their name and looking at that fight, but not going to engage.

02:33:06 As quickly as maybe they would want to. Meat Lovers inside a Fragment at the moment. My worry for them is the amount of teams that surround them at the moment. They're one of the teams that's in striking distance of Matchpoint, but they've got about three, four, five teams inside a Fragment at the moment, which means any rotate for them is going to be so, so tough.

02:33:23 Obviously, I think with the circle pulling in the way it has, with the amount of open space that's going to be in one of the latter circles here, fights need to happen prior to that to try and put yourself in a position to win this game. If you just allow this circle to pull in and expect you to be able to just walk in and wander into this circle, you're not going to have a good game. You need to have a game plan here. There has to be a point of attack. There has to be a point where you do get aggressive, but there's a lot of nerves in this lobby. There's a lot of teams who are on that kind of...

02:33:51 Das Zone-Area von Top 8, die wirklich wollen einfach nur bleiben oder sich inhalten werden. Oder du hast die Teams, die in den Matchpoint zu verlassen. Es ist sehr intensiv an der Moment mit der approach, wie diese Teams spielen, als wir endlich haben, diese Kampf zu passieren, zwischen Tri-Pods und Eternal und ICBM.

02:34:07 It's not looking good here for the pods. Deans gets the bat off. Can he beat the zone? He's going to hit the Q and will be able to get out for now. But is it going to be enough of a distance before he gets shut down? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Four tripods, they will be eliminated. Another rough game for them. 18 squads now remaining. They will be our second team to four. Eternal will fall down. They were the team on the other side of it. And they're going to be now playing down on the bottom of these tracks. Now, what's the next move? Back up, I would imagine, or maybe just walking this one out? Yeah, you can walk.

02:34:36 So, Meat Lovers, still 8 points away from Match Point.

02:35:01 They're going to have to find their way out of Fragment. And this is what I was saying. You need a game plan now. If you're in Fragment, if you're one of the five teams that are in Fragment, what is the plan? Where are you going to go? Do you try and take a fight here? Do you try and position yourself to get out earlier than everyone else to get ahead of the race? Or do you try and be the last team so that eyes are on other squads whilst you're making that move? The decisions have to be made. They've only got about 40 seconds to make said decision.

02:35:27 Ja, wirklich schwer für sie. Ich habe schon gesagt, dass es so viele Teams stacken in und auf dem. Ich würde sagen, es ist eine ein-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining-Defining

02:35:49 Ja, es ist sehr einfach, wenn du es so sagen.

02:36:05 Sadly, wenn die Gameplay starten und die Zone starten, und die Leute starten zu machen und die Leute starten zu machen, die Spielplank einfach aus der Türke gehen. Und dann findest du dich hinter einem Schwarzschlag, sie schadern auf dich, und dann bist du tot. Speaking of, ICBM just geteilt. 13 Teams jetzt noch bleiben, Meatlovers zu sein, und das ist der Plan. Es war eine Evac-Tower, aber sie haben viel zu tun, um die Zone zu tun.

02:36:30 They have indeed, but they're playing for that high ground, and if they can make it there and reset, it would be a really, really big move for them. You can see they're taking damage. They land behind that rock. Anybody getting there to take them down? It looks like the answer is yes. Tech is left on his own as the last hope here for Meat Lovers. Can he reset his team, though? He does get the battery off. He's got some syringes to play for. Is there a rat spot here for Tech to play?

02:36:53 Ja, Try and Rao, hope to get some placement points, but is it going to happen? No, Meat Lovers will be eliminated. Stallions now, can they get to Matchpoint? They're two points away for Jeldon, the last minute, Blair goes out! And they won't be getting on Matchpoint. This is what I was worried about. A lot of these teams who are close just can't quite get over the finish line. Tempa have gone as well, Tempa have gone as well. Another team who were very, very close to Matchpoint. And hey, maybe my prediction was completely and utterly wrong. It looks like we might not have too many teams hitting Matchpoint. If any...

02:37:21 Also known as, they are eliminated as well. Eight squads remaining, but Edges have made it now Dan. Edges have done it. They just get over that 50 points because they've managed to put themselves into the top eight to secure those placement points and they have found the kills. Edges have been aggressive. Edges have been making sure they get...

02:37:37 und sie hatten auch eine wirklich gute Position für die Allgemeine zu sehen, dass die Allgemeine in fronte sind. Und jetzt werden sie auf Match Point werden, jetzt werden sie die Möglichkeit haben, diese ganze Plattform in Match 6 zu gewinnen.

Matchpoint erreicht und strategische Überlegungen für das Finale

02:37:54

02:37:54 Eternal will have the best spot for the endgame as well. But Edge, their job is done here. Now it's just about maybe focusing a few teams that they might think are close to match point. Or I would imagine that would be the conversation they're having. They won't know that X-Team have been taken out of the lobby and that some teams are closer than others. In the kill feed, it's going to be Duplex who gets taken down for dude's night out by a beautiful Skynade that comes in. And now you see an evolution. They want to try and push off the back of this and they will push off the back of this. Last player is going to be...

02:38:21 Ich glaube, Rogue, der versucht zu bleiben, für Dudes Night Owens, die Prodigy Aces werden, und all die Gespräche und all die Fokus jetzt ist, ist, wer dieses Truck ist.

02:38:32 Die andere Team, die vielleicht machen die Matchpoint ist CCE. Wir sehen uns auf die Killfeed, ob sie sich nicht mehr leben können. D&O geht weiter. Evolution, Evolution wird auch fallen. Eine weitere weitere Spieler, eine Last-Ditch-Tempte, um die Grenade in den R.V., aber es ist all über die Survival, und es ist aus der Frying-Pan, in die Feuer. Ein Schliverer von Health ist, aber für wie lange?

02:38:56 Das wird der Ende des Spiel für sie und nicht lange ist die Antwort, als wir sehen, ein Temporary Sandcastel sind da, da in der Zone, mit den Rampart Wallen zu gehen. CCE ist noch nicht so weit, auf der Zone zu sein. Das ist die Frage, Porten wird in den Momentum sein. Eternel, auf 27 Punkte, als es steht, wird ein absoluter Banger, wenn sie zu cross-Match Point sind. Edges, sie wird auch nicht so weit entfernt.

02:39:21 Ja, ich denke, Eternal kann das nicht mehr in diesem Spiel sein, aber CCE haben sich gemacht. CCE finden sich auf 52 Punkte, so wir sind garantiert zwei Teams auf Matchpoint nach diesem Spiel. Und ich denke, das wird nur die zwei Teams sehen, was left ist. Und die Teams, NGNL, haben zu viel zu tun, Eternal haben zu viel zu tun. So die Konversation wird zu den Edgern. Und CCE, für Nummer 6, kann man sie nehmen? Aber...

02:39:45 These are still important points to be picking up now for the teams that are remaining because you want to be putting yourself in that top eight now that teams are going to be on match point.

02:39:53 Sie haben die beste Position. Sie haben all die High-Ground. Sie haben all die Height. Sie haben alles, was ihr könnt. Sie wollen etwas anderes als auch. Sie haben die Newcastle und die Comp, das heißt die Castle Wallen können. Es ist schon ziemlich schwer für jemanden, die sich wirklich auf die Welt befinden. NGNL, sie sind underneath. CCE, sie spielen das Corner, wie ich gesagt. Der Job ist fertig. Sie haben alles in fronten. Sie haben alles in fronten. Sie haben jetzt alles in fronten. Sie sind jetzt über die Hände. Sie sind jetzt jetzt mit der Hände.

02:40:23 And I wonder whether CC have done their math and whether they know they've got to match points. So they went for the risky play just to try and get across and stay alive. They lose one, but it's Eternal who are kings of the castle at the moment. And it's whether they can put together a victory here. It will be a massive victory for them with their chances of qualifying for the Pro League. But look at the little mountain goats on the side who are trying to just make a little bit of headway here, trying to close that gap. It's NGNL saying, well, maybe we can get a surprise attack here.

02:40:52 Also, if NGNL stay here and they can stay center zone for long enough and don't take damage, if you've got a drop from height, and we know there's the stun, of course, when you hit the ground unless you're on horizon, then Sheila is going to have a field day. Just ripping through them all as they land and they can't fire back. CCA gonna go down in about three seconds time, by the way. I mean, Cape, good luck to you, fella.

02:41:17 This is almost unfair. This is like a firing squad at this point. You don't really want to watch it. I've seen crazy things happen, but it's not going to happen here. Now Eternal have the high ground against NGNL. They do have to drop. They do have the castle wall to reposition, but now what have you got? Shield's going to go down as well, so they do have a little bit of an angle to play with. Eternal are losing players, and it's all up to Sang now on the Newcastle.

02:41:42 And I mentioned how if you've got to drop down from the height, well, Sheila might have a field day. The castle wall is good, but the Sheila is going to make light work of it. Unfortunately, it will be Sang going down as a final member. And NGNL use that zone to their advantage, use the drop that had to happen to their advantage, and they will win that game as we have multiple teams now hitting match point there. Yeah, and NGNL very close to match point, but I think they are just shy.

02:42:08 However, we will see the Edgers being the first team to secure match point here in match number 5, and CCE was second to join them as well. But what was a very difficult game for teams to play at the start, everyone was a bit nervy to try and make their rotation, but then suddenly everything exploded as everyone had to move out a fragment at the same time.

02:42:28 Yeah, you feel it was the kind of game where people weren't quite sure how they wanted to get those final few points, right? And everyone was kind of overthinking things a little bit too much. It's like, oh, if we just play here, we'll be safe enough. We should be able to get those placement points. But then when everyone starts doing that and collecting on one side of the zone, for example, they're like, oh, we all have to leave now. And everybody having the same plan means that none of us really have a plan. It all got a little bit messy, like you say, in and around Fragment especially.

02:42:55 Ich habe zu sagen, die zwei Teams, die die Edges haben, die haben, wie du gesagt, die Team, die haben die meisten Games gewonnen, in der Build-Up zu haben. So, sie werden sehr, sehr confident in der nächsten Spiel werden, dass sie vielleicht close it out hier können. Und, of course, was die andere Team, die CCE managed to close on Matchpoint? Sehr, sehr impressive von ihnen, aber ich bin ein bisschen surprised, zu sehen, die Meadlovers und Stallions.

02:43:19 der Fall in der Weise, wie sie war. Es war ein bisschen split, wie sie das Spiel war. Und es hat einfach nicht funktioniert für sie. Das ist twice. Me Lovers waren 8 points away.

02:43:28 So NGNL, they secure 21 points. Now, even though that might not get them to Matchpoint.

02:43:53 That points total could secure them Pro League, especially if we see a team win on match point here in match number six. Eternal, again, 19 points. That's going to give them a fantastic shot of getting into that top eight as well. CCE and Edge is both secure match point. So we'll have to see whether either of them can secure it going into match number six. And then a few teams just picking up that consistent amount of points again. Evolution are going to be a team that we're probably talking about at the end of the day. It's another 12 points for them. Yeah, good game from them as well.

02:44:23 Die KP ist wirklich mit dem 12-point-Titel. Sie sehen die Board-Placement-Points sind gut für sie, aber nicht nur die KP-Alongsaide zu bringen, es ist wirklich gut, dass das Point-Total ist. Ein bisschen ein Slow-Game und ein Slow-Date von Tripods. Ein bisschen zu sehen, dass sie jetzt an den Bottom-Titel sind. Aber Meatlobber sind diejenigen, die auf dem Moment sind, auf der Moment sind auf Choke-Watch, wir wollen es. Sie haben genug Points zu sein, aber sie sind so close zu Matchpoint und ich spreche über...

02:44:52 Ja, es würde. Und ich denke, dass ihr Ego beginnt zu kommen, als auch, wenn du in der Situation bist, wenn du in der Situation bist, bist du zu viel, ist es zu viel expectation? Spiel dein Spiel, was du in 1-2-3 gemacht hast. Sehr einfach für mich zu sagen. Und ich weiß, wie schwierig es ist, in den Spieler-Booten und einfach zu ...

02:45:15 Just trying to survive, man. When you want those, when you are so close to Matchpoint, it just feels like the game is against you. The zone's pulling away from you. Why is that team jumping on me? Pressure, it does really affect these final games. But Meat Lovers, they're still in the discussion. It's not like they're out of it at the moment. Whether that be the Pro League qualifying discussion or whether it be getting to Matchpoint, they are still there or thereabouts. So there's confirmation, Mark. We have two teams on Matchpoint.

02:45:40 We certainly do indeed. Edges and CC on Matchpoint. If they win the next game, they will automatically be in Pro League for Split 2 in North America. Stallions just need two points. NGNL, with that win in the last game as well, put themselves just five points away as well. And Meatlovers still within touching distance just need the seven points. And Tempo as well, nine for them. I mean, you look at any team really in that top half at the moment, Dan, a big game for any of them.

02:46:05 And they're on match point. So it's very, very close again to decide who's going to be some of those teams who are going through and you then start looking at the top eight, right? Because they're the qualifying spots. It's not just about hitting 50. It's about being in the top eight. That's the most important thing for these teams. Get to the top eight and you will be in split two pro. And honestly, if you're a team like Stallion who isn't on match point right now, but you're in third with a big gap between you and eighth or ninth position, you probably don't mind if edges take it here in match number six because

02:46:34 You are in a spot where those teams don't have time to then catch you up. So it's a really weird position to be in, and it's why Matchpoint can be difficult to navigate, not just for the teams that are on Matchpoint, but the teams who aren't quite on Matchpoint yet also have that to play into their factor of play. We'll have to see if the two teams who are on Matchpoint will be able to get it done in the next game, or if we will keep this thing rolling. Time for us to jump for a break. When we get back more Apex, will we crown a winner?

02:48:46 Now on Matchpoint. So there is potential for everything to end here and now. And we heard the boys talking about it. And this is just kind of what comes along with Matchpoint Finals, Vicky. There is the flip side of it. The teams that are in the top eight currently, they don't need to win themselves. They need somebody on Matchpoint to win to close it out so that they don't lose that top eight standing right now.

02:49:13 Yeah, but getting that dub also guarantees that you don't have to rely on another team where you're hoping either for the downfall of one team or you're hoping another team just comes out of nowhere. It always makes you sit on the edge of your seat, and I know that once we hit those six games, which, you know, we are going into that sixth game, that's it. We'll be able to crown a winner, but will it end here? Honestly, Lauren, looking at how close it's been so far in NA, I don't think so. I think we keep going. I mean, look at the way that we have.

02:49:39 Das ist auch verrückt, dass NGNL jetzt zwei Wins sind.

02:50:03 Ich bin mad. Das ist wie eben, die Lobby ist. Du musst es sein. Ist das Craig? Weil du das Highlightst du. Der einzige Team für zwei Dubs in der Lobby war NGNL. Der Problem ist, dass sie nicht die Dubs mit der KP, die sie brauchen. Aber sie sind auch noch ein Team da. Let's find out hier. Game 6 auf World's Edge. Let's dive right into the action.

02:50:32 We talked about it a lot in EMEA, just how important every single KP is. And with so many teams just barely missing match point right now, if we don't get a win, there's going to be so many more squads going into match number seven that will have that opportunity available to them when it comes to closing out this match. Of course, heading into match number seven, that will also mean a map swap. So that could also potentially affect the outcomes of the matches.

02:51:01 Wir werden sehen, was unsere Teams können in der zweiten Match hier auf World's Edge sehen. Als wir sehen, Vicky, die zwei Teams sind jetzt auf Matchpoint. Truly living ihre Leben auf der Edge mit der Art, wie sie spielen können. So aggressively auf der Edge auf der Circle hier, und sie haben auch die Information auf wo die Circle ist, wie wir sehen, die nice little Overhead hier, north of Fury, north of Thermal Station.

02:51:28 Baragowattas are going to be able to definitely thrive off of that, considering that they have not just the Evil Harvester to their east, but the Evil Harvester by the choke point that would lead into Mirage Atual. And there's a Survey Beacon right there for them to use, too. Lots of squads, actually, in solid positions here. I mean, you've got CCE right on the edge in Landslide, making a nice early move into that zone. Fury going to be very, very comfortable.

02:51:59 Will this be the game where Stallions can finally cross the threshold? You mentioned it earlier, the just barely by a hair unable to get themselves to that threshold. This could be the last game they need and it could literally just be one kill on a rotation that could seal it for them.

02:52:20 What's so unfortunate though, and looking at where the circle is pulling Glitter, they have to move from Climatizer all the way to the opposite side of the map where Staging and Thermal is. So it's going to be a bit of a trek for that squad. Definitely interested to see how that rotate is going to be looking. But while we are on the topic of teams that are right there, let's talk about the teams that are already at match point. CCE, another one of the squads here that not only are in one of the best spots with especially the team composition that they're running with the Rampart, but they're holding onto that choke.

02:52:49 und kann nicht mehr Informationen von anderen Teams. Ich will das Survey Beacon sein. Stunny hier schon wieder auf den Knochen zu Hambino. LMAO looking to fight for Blood.

02:53:00 We've seen, I feel like we've seen a little bit more early and mid-game aggression here out of NA. Some of these teams are just ready and out for blood, kicking things off, not wanting to leave any opportunity for these enemy teams to get the jump on them. This is a really, really solid cleanup opportunity here for Stoney & Co.

02:53:24 Und zurück mit Fury, auch. Sie waren jemanden mit einer guten Position in Thermal. Sie haben bereits geblieben, und sind jetzt geblieben von Triepods.

02:53:34 Die haben eine gute Position. Die Triepods sind weggelegt, um sich zu bleiben, um diese Rampart zu halten. Ich liebe, die Rampart, die wir jetzt sehen, haben wir heute gesehen. Ich sage Hallo zu meinem Freund, um alle die Dörren zu machen, um sich nicht zu haben, um die Triepods zu holen, um die Triepods zu halten.

02:54:03 They're sharing more of this space with Fury because they're not trying to really engage here. They went for a really quick rotate, and that's what you would expect from teams running the Loba. You immediately land, you get the information that you need, and then you immediately dip from your POI because the goal is to find that black market and settle it down where you can get any extra leftover loot if you can.

02:54:21 Ja, absolut. Und sie sind in einem wirklich starken Platz für die Leutung. Sie haben eine decentere Anzahl und ein paar Teams, die könnten sich in ein Engagements finden können, dass die Tripods zu machen, ein bisschen stehlich, wenn Sie sagen, von ihren Locationen werden. So, sie werden wirklich komfortablen. Die Edger sind zu zwei, ein unserer Teams, das...

02:54:42 Ich glaube, wir können es hier auch wiederholen. Und dann haben wir den Wunsch already. Es wird ein bisschen mehr schwierig sein, als wir eine Rez kommen.

02:54:56 Ich denke, alle in der Lobby sind eine sehr kleine Potenzial zu Ende hier.

02:55:21 like Meatlovers, are trying to rotate north side of Pukya. And while they are going to be rotating from the south side of Harvester, teams like LMAO, who are already on their rotate from scanning that ring console in Lava Siphon, will be able to see those two teams.

02:55:38 You can see Cereal Cat, Meat Lovers & Co. right now. Kind of just scouting the area, trying to see if there's anybody in the general vicinity that they need to be concerned about in any of these more popular areas and also an opportunity to get a little additional loot. But they're going to try and hold down here for now as...

02:55:57 They're looking to maybe do a little bit of gatekeeping from anybody pushing it from the eastern half. Potentially that could be on to LMAO, as you were saying, making their rotation. They've just come out of Lava Siphon. So there is potential for LMAO to run into Meat Lovers along the side of the mountain here. We'll have to see how they want to do that. Also, like you mentioned, Edger's moving through Harvester.

02:56:20 They'll have a lot of squads that they'll have to push through in order to get somewhere safe. And CCE have been holding this rock, trying to stay safe right outside of Mirage Atoile, because they're not going to push for any opportunity. They're not trying to go for KP at this point. They just want to keep everyone as far away from them as possible and try to get this dub. And the Sheila will come in very useful over that situation. I was just staring at the minimap, looking at how tech being in the drone has just been dancing around the edgers who have not been able to destroy the drone at all.

02:56:49 und er war noch nicht möglich, aber er war noch nicht möglich, aber er war noch nicht möglich, dass er noch nicht möglich ist, dass er noch nicht möglich ist, dass er noch nicht möglich ist, dass er noch nicht möglich ist.

02:57:18 Cody trying to use the scan there to give themselves a little bit of information so they know exactly what they could potentially be getting themselves into. Is Meat Lovers still in that area? As we can see on the top down here, potentially also running into Puck Yeah Bud. So there might be a third party opportunity if these two squads decide to take a fight now. Could LMAO push in on that? As we say that, you see those shots coming out of Puck Yeah Bud onto Meat Lovers. Will they re-engage or will they just try to start continuing that rap?

02:57:46 auf der Seite.

02:57:52 Will LMAO stop them or will they try to engage on Puckia?

02:58:17 That was a huge fight for Puck. Yeah, clearing out that entire southern side for themselves and LMAO looking like they're trying to see if they can maybe find the solo in Serial Cat, who has managed to escape. Unable to get the banners, but at least able to stay alive right now. Looks like LMAO thought about hunting him down. Don't think he's close enough and decide to back off. Definitely a smart play here as they don't really need to be thirsting that solo.

02:58:46 und es gibt ihnen ein bisschen mehr Zeit zu entscheiden, wie zu gehen, denn die Zone ist jetzt um zu close, und jetzt müssen sie auf Fortschritte und jetzt müssen sie in die Position geholfen werden. Ich habe nie erlebt Chasing, aber sie wollten sie sehen, ob sie einen Last-Draggler hatten, aber auch mit der Bloodhound, sie hatten nicht den Scan, weil er bereits in der Bunker war. So, sie haben es für jetzt, und wir sehen Evac Towers sind geholfen. Instead, Stallion ist es, um sie zu machen, um sie durch die Tunnel Vault zu machen.

02:59:13 But while they do play on the edge of the circle, this is a good rotate for them because if they decide they want to commit to the vault tunnel, they can rotate from landslide or they can even backtrack if they want to rotate through the left side of Harvester here. But so much fighting happening. That's why they're just taking a much more passive direction, especially looking at how close they are to being at match point. Well, we talked about LMAO deciding to back off and finally make a rotation. They took that evac tower and find themselves directly on top of Weave now.

02:59:40 und ein bisschen zurückgekehrt und ein bisschen zurückgekehrt und ein bisschen zurückgekehrt und ein bisschen zurückgekehrt.

03:00:02 Smoke's helping a lot here, but it prevents Weave from going for the push that they were looking for. But these nades, though, try to get some extra damage. Huge right there. Amazing position. There is somebody griefing on the other side of the map with a charge rifle, by the way. A charge rifle in this lobby. And the Cossack gas is a nail in the coffin. They get the next knock after that. And Weave now are going to clean up the KP that they deserve.

03:00:30 That was only a matter of time. It was like shooting fish in a barrel with all of the frags that we was chucking down into this very small ravine here. So they're able to clean up the KP on that and get the loot out of these death boxes. But now they will have to contend with whoever was being a thorn in the side of LMAO. And I think even one may have escaped as well. So there is a solo still alive. We've able to get two and now continuing on with their rotation. Mimo, we've got ICB.

03:00:59 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

03:01:07 This is going to be a bloodbath for all the teams that are going to have to exit from this east side of the circle. We know that the circle is going to be pulling towards staging, but it's not just ICBM, it's Stallions north side of them, NGNL, the Edgers, Evolution, Weave to the south, Meatlovers taking their time on rotating. They have managed to get another team member up, so the Rez did come out eventually while LMAO are playing by the edge of the circle as a solo.

03:01:34 All right, well, it looks like Meat Lovers was able to find that solo on LMAO as they go out in the kill feed. Meanwhile, like you were saying, things are starting to get a little bit chaotic on this eastern side as teams have to decide where and when they want to push in for a little bit of real estate. You've got Stallions off on the side, that off angle providing a little bit of vision for Albreleli to do some damage towards the teams on the inside. That's ICBM, NGNL, the Edgers all in that area and everybody fighting to stay alive.

03:02:03 NGNL get eliminated. Fury are gonna meet them right back into the lobby as ICBM are trying to hold on to this high ground. Trying to face off against Stallions who are trying to split push this. Each individually around this. Rock J Lowen falls incredibly low though, but Albert Lillie's holding a back end position. He's getting beams by the charge rifle. I'm wondering if that is temper in the distance. We're gonna have to wait and see. But that is the grieving that you cannot afford when you're trying to engage in a fight first.

03:02:31 ICBM ist ein viel besserer Job zu halten, als ich dachte, wie viele Teams verletzten haben. Die Stallion ist immer wieder in der Schöne, um sie zu spüren. Sie sind sehr patient, und haben auch noch ein paar Damage in Return genommen. Aber so far, beide Squadzen stehen, während sie auf CCE stehen.

03:02:51 die in den Rampart sind, die in den Rampart sind, um sie zu halten. Eine der Teams, die hier auf Match Point könnte, um die Leute zu kommen, um die Rez zu kommen, um die Rez zu kommen.

03:03:02 This was a huge save on behalf of Trev Stacks. Wow, Trev coming through with even more Rampart plays. The Amp Barrier giving him the cover that they need to try to go in for the reset. But for how long can they get the next res here? They got Blue Evils and there's a team right in front of them. That's going to be Weave coming out of the choke.

03:03:25 We have been playing this really slow in the southern side of the zone, so they're gonna at least wait and see if there's anybody waiting in the wings. They've got Bear Gowatis there on their left, but they'll have...

03:03:37 Wir haben hier noch eine ICBM auf der Seite. Wir haben Stallions auf der Seite, so Edgers müssen sich be careful.

03:04:06 He got deleted. He's only got the slow meds, too. When you're on the 6 here, now only having to pop the syringes. No med kit, it looks like, maybe here. But working with what they got, the edgers. 57 points here, getting shot by what looks to be Temper, who have taken control over that building north of Staging. Sharing a little bit of that rock space to with Stallions on the other side, but look who's down there.

03:04:30 In the crevice, it is ICBM right alongside the Edgers. They both have been able to reset here, but ICBM are in a way tougher position looking at where the circle is going to be pulling.

03:04:44 And as this ring is closing, a lot of these squads that we're holding on on the eastern side forced to move in and try and grab a little bit of real estate. Stallions are able to do so. We're also keeping our eyes on the Edgers, who have done a good job, but they do have Evolution right above them. And they are going to be aware that also you see some Tracers coming through. They're not in the best cover. You do have Puck, yeah, bud, who could potentially look your way.

03:05:13 Oh my, everybody's coming down here, DNO have forced their way inside of this truck here.

03:05:30 I don't know what happened on that eastern side, but we lost ICBM, we lost...

03:05:54 Das ist jetzt, wo alle die Aktionen ist passiert. Du hast die Edgers und CCE aufzunehmen. Die zwei Teams, die das ganze Team könnten das ganze zusammenbauen. Meanwhile, die Edgers getrennt auf. Sie können sich auf die Evolution halten, aber es gibt eine Chance für CCE zu fangen. Die Frags müssen genug sein, um die Edgers zu fangen.

CCE dominiert die Endphase von Match 6, Weave gewinnt unerwartet

03:06:18

03:06:18 Und als die Schildkrack kommt, dann geht's jetzt alles auf CCE! Die competition ist aus! CCE ist die einzige Matchpoint-Team in dieser Lobby! Both diese Teams waren so schwer, es war total. CCE mit den Rampart-Clutch-Rezes in der Truck zu den Train Tracks. Wir sahen die Edgern-Rezer-Erzer-Erzer-Erzer in der Spiel. Und die Chaos-Khaos ist nicht so schnell. While CCE ist still in der Circle mit Weave-Above-Them.

03:06:47 We are going to have to make a choice for which direction they want to push. Meanwhile, DNO now on the low ground. Super, super low. Down to two. Prodigy Aces and Rogue almost dead. As I say, that Rogue goes down just down to Aces. Everything is kicking off. Brown out in the kill feed. DCE still looking comfortable here. Completely set up. They've got the Lobo to do a little bit of shopping. These walls are keeping them alive and they've got such a solid position.

03:07:13 How? How? How is everyone around?

03:07:41 Das war unglaublich, wie sie die Position haben. Jetzt sind sie über die Scheelah gekommen. Alle die in der Killfeed. Eternel ist weg. Und Scheelah ist schräg. Kraber in die Hand von Trevstack. Will er able to hit diese Schuss?

03:07:56 I'm scared. I'm scared. He's got the Kraber. He's got the Sheila out. The Havoc that probably has a Turbo because they have a Lobo Black Market. There's still a team playing underneath them. We've still managed to drop down and then try to reset underneath CCE. While CCE take this fight, they get the 189 up to Kraber. Can we see the two-timer?

03:08:18 Will CCE be able to do this or will Weave, who's still at their backs, be their undoing? They have to pay attention. They are currently split in a 2-1 as well. Weave around that solo of CCE kind of keeping an eye on them. Everyone else on the other half trying to hold their position. Those limited spots left in staging right now.

03:08:39 CCE could potentially control how this goes. Wow, look at this. Our last four remaining teams. Temper is still inside the building. Borg dropping down now. We're about to meet up with Vleaf, who are probably also playing off that low ground. But on the other side of staging, even crazier, will CCE hold on to this high ground? They're going to only have to really worry about Temper that are sharing that hype with them. And I think it may be just a duo.

03:09:04 Oh, und jetzt haben wir Saites auf Weave zu tun, um die High-Ground zu tun, als sie zu halten, diese Position zu halten. Sie sind in ein guter Platz, aber sie werden müssen nach Bord und nach Temper. Und Sie wissen, dass wir das Weave starten, so dass sie sich zurückzuhren, so dass sie sich zurückzuhren können. Nur die Saites sind, wo Temper ist, bei den Krates zu halten, aber... ...die eine von den Hight-Geräuschen hat?

03:09:32 Ich glaube, es ist ein bisschen weird. Ich weiß nicht, ob das nur ein Glitch ist. Ich glaube, es ist nur ein Duel. Ich glaube, es ist nur ein Duel, auf der anderen Seite. Die Double Arc-Stars gibt's den Crack. C.C.E. wird immer wieder Pressure-Temper. Oh, es ist denn sie haben die Rez! Sie haben die Rez in der Ende mit dem Mobile-Respawn. Jetzt C.C.E. holdt die Corner. Sie haben Double-Sheila out-pointing, genau da. Und als all die fighting commences, die Final-Circle closing in, und die Squats collapse unter dem.

03:09:59 Will Sheila be able to help them close this whole thing out? They take a little bit of damage from that Bangalore ult, but able to still stay up here. As the squad, their forces are making their vertical move and CCE lose their rampart. It's just down to two, now down to one. Cap won't be able to hold on for CCE and they are eliminated. Oh, we go again.

03:10:31 We literally said we was a team at their backs that they would have to.

03:10:45 made the earlier push to move towards temper than CCE did. They were able to be patient on that low ground and wait for everybody else. CCE weren't able to hold their position up top. I thought that Sheila was gonna do it for them, Vicky.

03:11:02 I can't believe it, honestly. There was so much chaos at the very end there. I do know the direction of where the circle was pulling was more so where Temper had just gotten that res on the right side of the bridge side that they were on. But nonetheless, with that Sheila out just blaring through everybody that was left right below them, they couldn't see a lot of the teams. A lot of the teams were out of their line of sight. So when they dropped down, it looked like they may have gotten pinched there too. But we've, waiting patiently on the back...

03:11:31 And Corner, it all paid off for them. They're the reason why we get to see another game as we take a look at the match results. I do believe that we may have won that with 12 KP. Yes, 12 KP, 24 total points. Board coming in second place with 6 KP. And CCE, they were at match points starting that game and they fell in third place with 8 KP. You can only imagine how they're feeling right now after that.

03:11:58 Das war schwer, aber zu sagen, es war wirklich gut gespielt von den resten der Team in die Top 5. Ich meine, Weave hat wirklich, wirklich solid Position und Timing mit ihren Entscheidungen gemacht. Bord hat ein guter Job behalte die Seite und nicht mit Tempere zu nehmen, die sie wahrscheinlich hätte gewonnen haben als 3v2, aber sie wollten nicht darauf achten, zu dieser Seite des Stages. Tempere, mit der literalen Endgame Rez zu versuchen, sich ein bisschen länger zu halten, ich meine...

03:12:26 Everybody did what they needed to do and in the NCC wasn't able to close it out, but overall really impressively played by everyone that was alive in those final moments as we take a look.

03:12:37 Wir sehen uns auf die zweite Seite und sehen was zu diesen Gruppen. Wir sehen uns ein bisschen K.P. aus zwischen ICBM, ein Gruppen, ein Gruppen, das wir schon gesehen haben, für lange lange, die wirklich gehalten hat, das Eastern Side, irgendwie mit Stallions und sogar den Edgern. Sie haben ein guter Job, aber wenn alle zu verlassen sind, ich glaube, es war vielleicht die 5th Circle, sie einfach nicht mehr halten. Especially mit der Position, sie waren auf der Lowground, neben den Edgern. Und ich glaube, Pinch zwischen Stallions, ein wirklich schweres Position für sie zu sein. Aber ich meine, auch die K.P. Fury.

03:13:07 Fuck yeah. I mean, even LMAO, it was a very tough second-to-last circle to really rotate in, where we said goodbye to a lot of the teams exiting out from the east side of that circle. Yeah, it was a well-fought battle for Match 6 here. But now that it's done, that means we have to switch on over to Storm Point. Will that change some of the momentum we've seen out of some of these teams? I hope you guys...

Match 6 Analyse und Ausblick auf Storm Point

03:13:34

03:13:34 Well, I know you guys were watching that in the wings. I kind of want to get your thoughts on those final moments. What, if anything, could CCE have done differently there, Mark? I don't think there's much they could have done differently because that is officially the most cursed end zone for match points that we've ever seen. Let's all take ourselves back, right? Remember, there was, I think it was TSM who were up on that bridge at one point and everyone was like, they're going to win. And then they got Grav lifted on. It was a Horizon that caused the problems back then, but now it's going to be Evac Towers who...

03:14:00 Aber es ist sehr schwer. Wenn du zwei Teams kommen auf E-Vax und einfach nur auf dich, auf dich zu halten. Du musst du zwei Teams als drei. Es ist sehr schwierig. Es ist ein sehr winnable Spiel für sie. Ich denke, das ist die erste Sache, das wird das Hurt.

03:14:14 Because they'll be thinking, ah, we got so close. We had a really good position. Maybe we didn't output enough damage on those teams who were on the low ground. Maybe we took a little bit too long to clean up Tempo who were in front of us. And all those little things will start playing through your mind. But you've got to refocus now and look ahead to the next game and think about getting it done now. Now that we've gotten through match number six here, Dan, we've got a decent amount of squads who will be on match point. Anybody could be taking it home. Will it?

03:14:42 in 7 or do we go again to 8? I don't feel like I should say anything because I literally in the show chat I was like surely they take this and there's four teams remaining and then just as I say it then rises suddenly the evac tower and they get absolutely obliterated on the height so I will take responsibility for that but maybe that's a good thing because we get to see more Apex.

03:15:04 Can it go further than Match 7? Yes, because you still have Meat Lovers who aren't on Match Point. I think we still have Stallions who aren't on Match Point. So that's two of our big hitters that can win games that still aren't quite there. So I wouldn't be surprised if we get a little bit further than Match 7. Alright, well, we'll take a look back.

03:15:20 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal in den nächsten Mal.

03:15:49 Es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum, dass die anderen zwei Teamen die Schmerzen zu tun. Es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht darum.

03:15:59 This is great to watch, everybody. We're the spectators, but all of a sudden we got an invite to the party at the last second. And even though the shield swaps come in, it wasn't going to be enough. The first knock does come in, I believe, in the teamfight that Bangor was also available to use. And you can see, there's just nowhere for Stallions to go. They're going to have some tankless. They don't have any way of really fighting back in this situation. First knock comes in, and then it's just a case of pinching. You see a couple of barrels get thrown in just for good luck as well. But a very, very simple endgame for them. And that endgame is won by getting that position a little bit earlier on.

03:16:28 Und dann geht's auf Nummer 5, Vickie CCE.

03:16:32 Ich liebe die match-up am Ende. Das ist eines meiner Lieblings-N-Circles. Wir hatten die Newcastle-Wall vs. die Rampart-Sheila wirklich zeigen, was passiert, wenn man hart-countert wird, bei einem match-up, wenn es um Legend-Compositions geht. Considering Eternal ist die einzige Team, die die Newcastle-Wall ist, das ist fantastisch für N-Circle. Unfortunately, die Team ist nicht hinter der Newcastle-Wall.

03:17:02 Das war NGNL's 2nd Dub of the Day, der einzige Team konnte 2 Wins in 1 Day.

03:17:14 Ja, wir haben gesagt, dass wir sie noch nicht auf den Match Point haben, denn das ist so nah, das Lobby ist. Aber, Dan, ich weiß, wir haben es bereits ein bisschen darüber gesprochen. Run uns durch diese Final Moments von der letzten Match. Ja, ich wirklich dachte, das war CCE's Spiel zu gewinnen. Es war nur ein Thema, wo sie sahen, aber es sei denn, wo sie sahen. Aber es sei denn, wo sie sahen, jemand war zu pushen. Ich denke, sie panikten ein bisschen, wenn die Team kam von hinter ihnen. Sie vielleicht erwartet, dass alles aus der right-handen Seite kommen, aber nicht nur von der leften Seite kommen. Wenn du das Evac-Tower runterkriegst, wirst du...

03:17:44 Und nicht nur das, aber Weave sind jetzt auf Match Point. Wir haben vier Teams alle da.

03:18:14 Definitely the outcome that Weave was hoping for with the patience that was illustrated there in those final match six moments. We've now got four squads on match point. And like you said, Mark Stallion is still missing out one point.

03:18:28 Just determined whether or not they would be in the group as it gets larger to try and close this one out, but still at least setting themselves up in a decent spot for top eight. But the more we go on, the closer these points are and the harder it's going to be to make sure you're qualified through to split two. Yeah, it's very, very tight at the moment. And for stallions and meat lovers, I'm sure there's some serious...

03:18:51 Ich glaube, dass wir hier sind, wenn wir hier sind, wenn wir gewonnen haben.

03:19:20 If another game goes past and they don't hit match point and teams overtake them and it gets really, really nervy towards those final moments, when you haven't put points on the board for the last few, you start to think, where are the points coming from? And it gets a little bit dicey. Yes. 36 points all the way down to 11th and 35th and 12th. So that's literally one game of points to close that gap between the teams.

03:19:44 Und jetzt haben wir die Gätsin-Gäts-Gäts-Gäts gesehen.

03:20:14 oder haben wir zwei, vielleicht sogar drei mehr Spiele? Und wenn das ist, dann müssen wir noch ein paar Spiele spielen. Und wenn das so ist, dann müssen wir noch ein paar Spiele spielen. Um, bei der, um zu setzen, wie viel Red Dragon hat früher in EMEA gemacht. Sie hatten 71 Spiele in drei Spiele. Wir hatten sechs Spiele, also sechs Spiele hier. No Team has reached 71 Spiele. Das ist wie viel Spiele war früher bei EMEA. Aber North America, so close, so tightly contested.

03:20:37 Yeah, I'm excited to see what all of these squads will bring to Split 2 after some of the performances that we're seeing here today. But before we get into some more matches, everybody at home, you know we always have something in store for you. And I've reminded you guys about this a couple times in case you've missed it. We have holosprays, okay? All you have to do is to tune in to any Apex Legends Twitch stream with drops enabled. And you can earn a holospray while watching your favorite streams all season long. And you can see the dates. They change every two weeks.

Match 7 startet auf Storm Point mit erhöhtem Einsatz

03:21:06

03:21:06 Wir haben sie schon seit Februar. Sie werden bis zum Spiel 1 gespielt werden. Also, dass ihr in die Twitch-Streams habt. Und ihr habt die Holospray während sie last. Weil sie sind ziemlich cool. All right, wir haben es gesagt, es ist Nummer 7. Es ist Zeit, um zu einem anderen Map zu machen. Es ist bereit zu gehen. So, auf set!

03:21:29 Gaskin, let's keep this thing going. Let's keep it going. Let's keep this energy high because we are now at the point where we're starting to think, is this tournament going to end now because we've got four teams on match point? Or are we going to see a few more twists and turns before the day is out? Where are you? What can you in at the moment, Dan? Do you think we're going to finish it right here, right now? Or do you think there's some more Apex to play?

03:21:50 I kind of think we're feeling the same thing. Judging by the pregame chat, by the way, someone just sold out all the teams on Matchpoint saying these are the four spots where they're landing. So good luck. And that's how competitive it's getting right now. It's saying, look, we know where these guys are landing. We know who's on Matchpoint. We even know the compositions. Someone said, oh, we're the only Watson that's in the lobby. I think that is the edges having the only Watson. So there is going to be ways for people to know who is on Matchpoint and where they're going to be rotating. But it's a case of can you stop them?

03:22:19 The interesting point is when we look at the standings and where people currently reside, the top six or seven has got a little bit of a gap to eighth and ninth. So those teams are probably thinking, well, if it does end here, it's not the end of the world. But at the same time, you want the glory. You want to be the winners, right? You want to be that team who's able to win PLQ, not just scrape through into Pro League. So it's about when ego comes into the question as well. You don't want to just give this away to one of these other teams.

03:22:45 It's very, very true. You just saw the winners of our first six games on your screen as well as we head into Match 7. A fresh page and maybe a fresh page in history to be written by one of these teams now by winning this thing here on Stormpoint in Match 7. Will we go to Match 8? Only smarties have the answer and we'll find out in just a few moments time when we get to our endzone to see who gets that Champions banner. Match 7 is live, Dan. I'm excited, man. Are you? I can't wait because the teams who are still outside of Match

03:23:14 They are teams who have found wins already today. We've got, what, three teams that have had victories today, not quite on Matchpoint. And that always means there is someone who can spoil the party for these teams that are already on Matchpoint. Will CCE rue the day that they did not take the victory when it was presented to them? Only time will tell. But we're dropping into Stormpoint. It's now going to be a change of scenery for a lot of these teams. But there is the locations of the teams on Matchpoint that have been communicated to the entire lobby. So if anyone's feeling brave, maybe someone's going to drop on them.

03:23:43 Ja, das würde nicht zufrieden mich. Die PLQs sind ziemlich dramatisch. Sie haben. Ja, sie haben für eine PLQ. Wir werden sehen, ob das funktioniert hier. Als wir mit CCE kommen, sind wir so, so close zu bekommen. So, so close. Aber ich denke, du kannst du vielleicht in den letzten Momenten sehen, ein bisschen nervös zu werden. Ein bisschen trepidation.

03:24:09 What targets to hit, what to watch. All those comms got a bit cluttered. And I've got a feeling, Dan, we're going down to Cenote. I don't know about you. I think this might just be a Cenote Cave finish. And all the teams that are on Matchpoint, they're kind of on the northeastern side. You've got Edges at Stormcatcher. You've got CC at Command Center. You've got the Wall. This is going to be a further rotate for some of these teams that are on Matchpoint. I guess Weave are the closest team, but still, they're at Launchpad.

03:24:38 You know what, Match 8 is looking more likely, just looking at that initial circle, but we have seen teams still find victories even with a difficult rotation because sometimes a difficult rotation can be a blessing. Sometimes it can be Evo Shields getting up to purple and you're fighting against blue, so it's not like it's over just because it is a heavy pull to the southwest, but this certainly will benefit the likes of Board and the likes of Tripods. I was going to say for Tripods who have...

03:25:02 Ich habe wirklich versucht zu finden, etwas zu reden. Das ist das Spiel, richtig? Das ist das Spiel. Das ist das Spiel. Es ist die Gebäude, es ist die Gebäude, es ist die Gebäude, es ist die Gebäude, es ist die Gebäude, es ist die Gebäude, es ist die Ring-Console, also, so you'll know exactly where the Zone is going to be. The only slight drawback for them is maybe a lack of accessible Evo Harvesters. They could have just grabbed in and around Cenote, which might be a little bit of a problem for them to get up to Purple towards the endgame, but...

03:25:28 At least they're going to have prior position. Stallion's also making their way as well. I think Stallion's only need one point, if I was not mistaken, to get onto match point as well. So you would imagine...

03:25:37 Und es könnte sein, dass die Stalliens einfach nur einen Punkt spielen können, aber es könnte sein, dass die Stalliens einfach nur einen Punkt spielen können.

03:26:07 wie sie früher heute waren. Und sie werden vielleicht auch eine Chance finden, weil das Pressure von den Matchpoint zu werden ist, dass sie auf ihre Schultern sind. So meine Augen ist definitiv auf Stallings auf den ganzen Tag, als ich denke, sie werden die größte Threaten zu den Matchpoint-Teams.

03:26:21 It's such an interesting dynamic how this format works as well, right? Because as we see Stallions doing a little bit of damage and working their way into Mill, it's almost as if the teams who were 9th to say 15th, right? You think, oh, you know, one more game, maybe we can get the points to get into that top eight. It's like standing on the trapdoor with the teams in the top eight or right in the top of the leaderboards having control about when it opens or not. Because if they win that game, the trapdoor opens and you fall out. That's it. It's over. You don't get another opportunity. So that kind of jeopardy that's just constantly holding.

03:26:50 Ich glaube, es geht mit dir. Es spielt mit deinen Emotionen und deinen Decision-Making in diesen großen Momenten. Ja, es sind viele Teams, die haben sich durch viele Entscheidungen gemacht. Und hier ist die erste Entscheidung, die in diesem Spiel ist A.K.A. in der Fight. Sie sind in 8th Position. Sie sind die Bubble Team! Und sie haben einfach nur WIPED OUT. Und es ist Evolution, die so machen. Die Teams, die in 8th und 9th waren, haben sich in Match 7 gespielt. So jetzt, wenn die Spiel war, hier in Match 7, das wäre die letzte Fight, die wir gesehen haben von A.K.A., und sie würden nicht machen Pro League.

03:27:19 Und das würde wirklich die Fight, die nicht nur die Team sind, sondern die Team, die sie hinter ihnen sind. Wie Sie sagen, 8th vs 9th. Es würde die Fight, die sie in die Pro-League zu bringen. Wenn ihr Evolution ist, wird es vielleicht eine Amazing-Fight von ihnen sein. Sehr, sehr clean. Das ist ein bisschen einfacher. Let me tell you, das Spiders, das kann ein Problem sein, wenn du nicht bemerkst. Ich habe auch, finde es sehr lustig, zu spielen Ranked und zu sitzen mit den Spiders und warten. Und, ehrlich gesagt, Panik.

03:27:46 Ja, ich denke, dass sie bereits zu Cenote Cave sind.

03:28:14 Ich glaube, es wird in den Endgame sein. Ich glaube, es geht darum, wie viel in den Endgame du wirst sehen. Denn es gibt in Tenote, aber es sollte sich auf einen Top-10 positionieren. Aber Tenote kann man sehr contestieren. Man kann natürlich finden, wie ein Nook und eine Kräne zu arbeiten. So, du musst du wissen, wer ist, und wo sie versuchen. Aber die Teams, die Läden sind, müssen wir schauen, vielleicht ein Survey Beacon, so dass sie eine Idee haben, wer ist.

03:28:46 We're right at the other side of the map at Northbad, which is about as far away from Cenote Cave as you can possibly be. We see a couple of teams engaging with each other over at Pylon here. We see a couple of Rotates coming through as well. Weave is going to be one of those teams on match point as well. 63 points for them in second place. Very, very comfortable with the amount of points they have on the board as far as qualification is concerned, but you want it in your own hands. You want to control your own destiny, and winning this game would allow them to do exactly that.

03:29:13 Ja, und ihr wollt in die Pro-League als die PLQ-Winners, richtig? Es wird ein bisschen zu sagen, um die restlichen Lobby zu sagen, dass ihr die Best des Rest ist, als es war. Und jetzt werden sie da in Split 2 spielen. Aber es ist einfach gesagt und getan. Und wir werden sehen, ob jemand kann es hier in Match 7 machen. Es gibt keine Namen, sie haben einen. Sie sind in 11th Position. Das ist eine dieser Teams, die nicht zu gehen hier, mit, vielleicht alles enden hier in Match 7.

03:29:41 Der Knochen wird es auch noch mehr als es gibt. Aber man sieht, es hat sich ein bisschen zu tun. Es hat sich auch ein bisschen zu tun. Es hat sich auch ein bisschen zu tun. Es hat sich auch ein wenig zu tun. Es hat sich auch ein wenig zu tun. Es hat sich auch ein wenig zu tun.

Weave eliminiert, Stallions erreichen Matchpoint

03:30:11

03:30:11 And another team who has found a win today and could again disrupt those teams who are on Matchpoint. If they can replicate that success here in match number seven, then everyone else is going to be scratching their heads saying, okay, well, who is going to be able to win this entire thing? And we did kind of tease it. It could happen today. We could go a little bit further. You especially were saying, Mark, you expected it to be going this far. I was thinking maybe Edgers would have been able to use the momentum they had from yesterday to come into this thing and dominate a lobby, but they have not done so. But they are one of the teams on Matchpoint and could still be one of the...

03:30:40 Das Team ist auf der anderen Seite.

03:31:06 Really difficult rotate for them to have to make here. And you can see that Weaver trying their best to force this fight. 37 seconds left until the zone starts to close. They've got a lot of time to play with here, but they don't want to be held up. They don't want to have to slow down their game plan and where they want to move to. I'm sure if they have an evac tower, you can see there's a...

03:31:24 Es war ein Mitglied von Puck, ja, wo die Teams auf Matchpoint sind. Das wird gut für Weave, wenn sie sie unternehmen können. Aber in dem Moment, Puck, ja, ist still auf der Retreat.

03:31:49 They've got a long way to go to Puck here, not just in this game, but in the lobby in general. Oh, that's another one who potentially is going down here. So much damage just taken. Yeah, Riley Mechanic says to Puck, we remember the pregame lobby and it's the equivalent of like saying, why'd you keep hitting yourself? Why'd you keep hitting yourself? As JoJo goes down.

03:32:09 Weev will pick up that kill and should be able to get the finish on it as well. 19 squad still remaining. There is still one player alive somewhere or other from Puck by the looks of things. It's going to be iProficiency, who is... Oh, he was the one. He was the one who called them out, by the way. Yeah, I'm going to target him. Yeah, I am. This is going to happen. Later on, he's going to come back. He's going to kill all of Weev as a solo. Hey, we're here for everybody. Hey, I love the pregame lobby. We said it earlier. I want to see more content around it.

03:32:34 So hopefully we'll be able to get some recordings of it. What should they do? This is just an idea. They should put it on Faceit Watch. Just a pre-game lobby screen. Hey, how about that? Choose your favourite POVs and the pre-game lobby. To be fair, if you watch... If you watch the players, like...

03:32:52 You can see the pregame lobby for the most part. I know some will hide their screen and they go full cam and whatever, but there's definitely some players who leave it up and it can get a little bit spicy at times, especially actually postgame. Also quite interesting. The amount of venting I've seen in postgame of people being like, why did you push here? Why didn't you do this? Why did X do that? It's brilliant. I think we need a best of pregame lobby compilation. We can make millions. We could wait.

03:33:19 We gave that away for free. Someone's already done that now. Whoever did it, you have us 10%. Anyway, Fury. They're making a little bit of a different rotate at the moment. They're going to pick up some Evo on their way. Have the option to. May have already picked it up, I should say. As they're on the eastern side of Zone. Weave, by the way, they are in Zone. And they are, I think they were actually chasing down the final player from Puck. Yeah, and didn't get it. Puck, yeah, by the way. The last player is in Cito Station at the moment. So that's...

03:33:44 Oh, he's gone gone. That's how far into zone he's decided to play from. Oh, I'll keep my... Do you know what? For everybody else, you can see I have proficiency. Trust me, he's not as close to Weave as they think now, but they are going to have Fury in front of them. Do Fury know? Do they know?

03:34:00 Oh boy, do they know. Oh, this is going to be interesting, because Weaver are going to be a little bit weak, and Fury needs to take advantage of this. Nades are going to come out now to try and get that initial damage. The scan's going to give them all the information they could want. They've already got a knock as well. One of our first match point teams are about to be eliminated. Yeah, it's going to be Fury going to have an easy job of it as well, unless the cannon is blessed. Can he find somewhere to slam it to be safe? Uh-oh. Oh, wait, proficiously, where are you? You were meant to... Oh, Weaver eliminated, Weaver...

03:34:29 So one of our Match Point teams have been taken out. Dudes Night Out, they want some KP as well. Yeah, all that commotion, fury and the amount of damage they were doing, it just allowed D&O to walk up on them. And now D&O can take advantage of this and potentially get some KP to try and put themselves closer to that top eight, because they are quite a way off it. 15th in the moment, 22 points. But if they were to find a victory in this game, they could still keep their dreams and hopes of Pro League alive. Duplex with the spray, by the way.

03:34:57 1.24, aber sie sind nicht able zu bekommen. Und zu sagen, Fury ist es so schwer für den DNO zu machen. Er hat sich das Gefühl, dass das eine Begründung ist. Aber look! Hier ist es! Hier kommt Proficient! Oh, wenn er die Zonen ist, das wäre das lustig. Aber er hat sich getrennt. Aber er hat sich getrennt. Aber er hat sich getrennt. Aber er hat sich getrennt. Aber er hat sich getrennt. Aber er hat sich getrennt. So Puck, ja, bud. Sie sind in es.

03:35:20 Back in it and still with a chance to disrupt things here. Maybe could even get the res. Actually, one of the players of Puck has just absolutely yeeted himself across the can and just as we saw Weave do. But sadly, Evolution is on the other side of it. So Puck going to be in a difficult spot here as well and likely will be eliminated soon. But I like the journey of Puck. You know, you have to see just what's going to happen with that team. I like it when we just randomly pick a squad, especially a squad that is doing nothing in the lobby right now. They're in like 19th. But still, I want to know how they do.

03:35:49 I'm invested. I'm buying Puck stocks. That's all I know. The stocks are only rising. This is why you don't take investment advice from me. And you never, ever should. But they are still alive, by the way, as a solo. So there's the opportunity for them to still do something. The zone is pulling towards Tripods, as you would imagine. They know this zone better than anyone. But Tempa, another team who are on Match Point, just on Match Point, but just is good enough. If you win this game, they will be qualified for Pro League and the winners of today.

03:36:18 Und es ist nicht möglich von hier.

03:36:20 They're in a spot where they can hold the northern side. If they can win the initial engagement on this north side, then they should be able to walk somewhat comfortably down a little bit further southwest. But the circle is continuing to pull southwest and closer to NGNL, by the way. NGNL, another team who have had success today and could disrupt things as Puckier do get eliminated. And they have been pucked off. Now, no name. They've gone down. So that's another team who has found a victory earlier. They sadly will not be able to play the rest of this game. Well, Tempa at the moment, they're under a lot of pressure. You see Spades goes down. They overextend.

03:36:50 So the teams who are kind of in the area of this next zone, Tripods, Stallions, LMAO, Begoats, NGNL.

03:37:15 Das sind alle Teams, nicht auf Match Point. Das sind alle Teams, die vielleicht nicht auf Match Point gehen können. So es wird eine Frage, ob die Teams, die auf Match Point sind, können Sie in diese Zone gehen? Ich meine, Edges und Tempo sind sehr nahe, so es ist sicherlich zu tun. CCE ist jetzt auf Edges, an der Moment.

03:37:33 Und dann gibt es Teams wie ICBM, zum Beispiel. Sie sind in 20er Position, sie sind wirklich zufrieden, aber sie können auch noch ein Imbach auf wie das Lobby geht, denn Tempa sind so close zu ihnen. Wenn sie Tempa töten, dann werden sie die Chance haben, um ein Matchpoint Team zu erreichen.

03:37:48 I don't know how Tempe get out of this situation. They're pinched between two teams. There's a Valcol taking place though. And it's going to be CCE who make the play to get into Cenote. This is a massive moment for them. They want to try and land on these rocks. And if they can, they will be able to play towards this endgame. But it looks like they're already getting shot down. And they're going to play under the building where tripods find themselves at the moment. So it's about cohabiting at the moment. It's about not showing too much presence to each other. Using those rampart walls and holding off any potential push.

03:38:17 Ja, we're down to just two, CCE and The Edgers. But CCE have been able to use this kind of buildable cover to find a spot to play with and actually very much with the possibility of winning this game, just the fact they've been able to force their way into the zone and such.

03:38:39 Impressive Fashion for the Edgers, they are still in zone in the building they currently reside in. Eternal, 9th position at the moment and down to 2. Again, if everything ends here, 9th would not be enough, so they need to be finding points. Meatlovers just got eliminated in 13th. They don't get the points they need again, Meatlovers, if I'm not... I'm pretty sure they do not get on to match points, so it's another opportunity that slipped through their fingers.

03:39:03 Und das ist verrückt, nicht wahr? Ja.

03:39:22 So just down to the edges on match point with the chance to win the PLQ here.

03:39:51 And for the other teams, it's now starting to notice those names are dropping and saying, hey, we could still be seeing more games here. These points that we get here could be absolutely vital for our chances to potentially get into Pro League. Edges are on 64, but more importantly, they have the chance to still win, but they are in a tough spot. They are potentially the only Watson. I think they're the only Watson in the lobby. So they have pretty much got a red flag above them saying, hey, we're here. We're a match point team. Shoot us.

03:40:19 The Edges are living up to their name right now. They literally are edging their way into zone, step by step, inch by inch.

03:40:28 Und das ist so eine schwierige Position. Aber Browne sind weg. Eterno sind weg. Und dann sind sie in die Top 10. Es gibt 9 Squats remaining. Die Chase sind weg. LMAO sind weg. Evolution sind weg. Und Peter sagt, das ist mein Geist. Aber die Teams sind weg. Er versucht zu essen. Er versucht zu bangehen. Und jetzt Presley ist er in der Zeit. Wir haben mehr Apex. Ein weiteres Spiel in front of uns.

03:40:53 The Edgers will just have to wait that little bit longer as now everyone else trying to pick up points and realizing perhaps that we are going to have a Match 8. And suddenly they might have an opportunity to get onto Match Point themselves. Stallions have got onto Match Points. We'll have another team who are going to be there. Begotas are 33 points, so they are still a little bit away. NGNL are one point away from Match Point. So this could be going into Match 8 with potentially six teams, if not seven teams, on Match Point.

03:41:22 This might be there. I mentioned how this is their opportunity. This is their game. This is their zone. It's been a rough day for them so far, but the Evac Tower means that hype will be taken away from them. The scan comes in as well, and they now know that there's a team across from them on the opposite high ground on that replicator. The pods are underneath at the moment, but the pods are going to have to show some metal if they want to win this game. Five squads remaining. Fury pick up a couple of knocks, though, which is going to see potentially the team number fall down in just a few moments again.

03:41:52 Everything raining down from the skies right now. As the ultimate is just being tossed out to try and get any little bit of damage or any little bit of kind of cover at the moment for teams to avoid the suppressing fire that's happening from above. Seen a few purple armors and there is a team that is on blue by the way and they might struggle in this final lobby. How about this for an end circle though? This is a very difficult terrain to try and navigate because there's so much high ground but also a lot of nooks and crannies that you can use to your advantage.

03:42:20 Well, you do have a Catalyst in the lineup as well here for the team you can see on your screen, but the difficulty is there's so much elevation that the Catwall really doesn't have too much of an effect because people can just look over the top of it. One thing that can have an effect though is Deeds with the Wingman. Couple of shots coming out of this weapon and we know what it can do. Also got the Nox Gas available as well and it looks like at the moment it's about holding the high ground tripod to try and look for kill though.

03:42:48 This could be a big game for Tripods. They need points. They need to start catching the leading pack. And they've been given the opportunity with these Matchpoint teams falling. But now they're taking damage. You can see the Catmull has gone down, but will fall. And now Tripods are still alive. They're up to 14th position. Vergottas have gone down. Fury have fallen. We're into the top three.

03:43:04 NG and L, they are on match point as well, but you gotta wonder, are they gonna be in a position to close it out here and give themselves even more points? This is getting tense.

03:43:23 Imagine the team, auf Bord, die Highgrounds zu hören und die Kommotion zu hören. Können sie nur noch lange warten, wenn die Dammage ist? All you need ist die Schöpfung zu starten, in die Eardrums zu werden, und dann ist es dein Weg zu werden. Eine Sekunde, ein Wall kommt aus. Oh, Tripsen, ich weiß nicht, ob sie es sind. Da ist die Bubble von der Gibby. Also, sie haben die Schiele. Es wird ein Wall going down.

03:43:45 They're gonna be forced to push this bubble, and it's gonna be Deans who gets that first knock. NGNL, they are eliminated, but here come Bord, but they take damage. They're gonna fall now. They have to go in and try and clean up this damage, and they will manage to do so. Bord will win it, and we have more.

03:44:00 Match 8 is going to be coming up soon. Thanks to the teams for staying strong and able to close it out against those who were on Match Point. But we do start to see more teams added to Match Point now. We saw Stallions were able to get there. NGNL were able to get there. More teams who are going to have the opportunity to win the entire PLQ going into Match 8. And for those teams who got onto Match Point nice and early, this is where you start to say, I wish we could have got it done. CCE in particular are going to be...

03:44:30 A little bit annoyed that they weren't able to get it done in that one match earlier. Yeah, that was an opportunity. That's the closest we've seen as far as opportunities are concerned to close this out today. I think there's a couple of teams who are still going to be kicking themselves. I think Stallions have got over that hump now. They've gotten to match point. I think that was kind of weighing on them a little bit. There was a few games where they were extremely close, but just couldn't get it. Just the last few points would seem like the most difficult ones to get. And now they're in a position where if they win a game, they can call themselves the champs of today.

03:44:58 I keep looking at Meatlovers, man. I'm like, they're so close. They're so close. But they're just not getting those last few points that Stallions kind of did manage to get. We'll take a look at the match results to see exactly how things look down. But this is now getting to the point where you expect a winner almost in this next game. Or do we?

03:45:13 Well, you do expect it, but again, there's still a couple of teams that can spoil everything because there are teams that have found victories that are outside of Matchpoint. But it was 21 points for Tripods. How important could that be in the grand scheme of things? Because that will put them a little bit higher in the leaderboard, or a lot higher actually than what they were, and closer to that top eight. Still a way to go for them yet, but definitely better signs for them. It was a circle that came towards them, so they had to really take advantage of it, but it was bored in the end.

03:45:42 Take the Plaudits for the actual victory, although they did get less points than Tripods overall. NGNL secure their spot on Matchpoint purely through placement points. No kills, but they won't mind. They will have the opportunity to win the entire thing going into match number eight as well. We'll take a look at the second page in a few seconds as well to just see where the final teams picked up those points. Not really too much to talk about. Meatlovers did get three points in total though, but they still, if my maths is correct, it's always a shaky subject.

03:46:11 Das ist die 7 Teams auf der Matchpoint.

03:46:34 Und auch, wenn wir starten zu sprechen über 7, auf 8, wir haben nur 8 Spots für Pro League. Das ist eine sehr nervösische Situation für diejenigen, die nur außerhalb der Top 8 gerade jetzt. Und Meatlovers haben von 42 Punkte nach drei Matches, und dann wird es vielleicht die erste Team zu kommen, zu dann, die Bubble Team in 8th Position zu sein. Wenn sie hier in dieser nächsten Spiel kämpfen, und die Likes von Evolution oder Tripod suddenly haben eine gute Spiel, Meatlovers vielleicht nicht mehr in die Pro League.

03:47:03 Das wäre der schlimmste Weg, ich denke, für den Tag zu gehen. Ich glaube, war es Game 1 oder Game 2, dass sie gewonnen haben? Oder sie waren Top 2? Sie waren sicherlich Top 2 in Game No. 1 auf Worlds Edge. Und von da, es ist sehr, sehr schwer für sie. Aber irgendwie, das ist wie sich die anderen Seite sehen. Sie sehen, Eternal ist noch in Strikal Distanz. A.K.A. also in Strikal Distanz. Ich würde sagen, Fury Upwards. Sie haben noch eine Chance, wenn es nicht endet.

03:47:30 Ich sage so, und das ist ein Faktor für die Likes der Meatlovers, die in 8th sind. Und auch für die Teams, die in 6th oder 7th sind, weil man kann auch noch immer wieder drop-out werden, wenn zwei Teams sich in diese Position befinden. So, PoQ ist ziemlich spätig. Wir hatten 7 Matches, und jetzt haben wir die Nummer 8. Das ist wie Maths works. Es kommt einfach nach diesem Break. Don't go anywhere, everyone. Matchpoint ist sicherlich bringen die Vibes, bringen die Excitement today. Und vielleicht, vielleicht ist es vielleicht der letzte Mal.

Intensives Matchpoint-Geschehen und Analyse der Teams

03:49:34

03:49:34 Welcome back, everybody. It's been a crazy set of games, but we go again. You know what? They pucked away from us, so they pucked off, and now we get to see another game. Boer taking that last game, though, Dan. That was intense, especially after you and Mark were able to cast that. Very intense, and I think that, you know, Matchpoint gets more exciting when you're watching the Matchpoint teams, and you start to see one drop, and then the other one drops, and then the third drops, and you start to think, hey, we've got some more Apex Legends coming our way, and you start to ask the question of,

03:50:03 How far can we go? Because we've already broken a record kind of on one way with three games in EMEA. How far can we go here in North America? That's my question. But what did you think of that match, Vicky? Because it was a little bit difficult to navigate in that final circle just southwest of Cenote Cave. Yeah, I love Cenote Cave circles, but to see the team hanging out on top, that really comes to show you squads that end up rotating really early and taking their time, not going for any evil harvesters, not really taking any poke damage.

03:50:31 Having a Final Circle with Blue Evil Shields is just not it, unfortunately. And, you know, we saw some teams pay for that at the very end. But I thought it was rather chaotic. And I think that's kind of been the theme going forward after we saw, what, two to three teams hit match point. Now we're at, what, 35% of this lobby is at match point. I mean, what more can we have going into game number eight now?

03:50:51 I thought then you were going to say 35 teams on Matchpoint. I was like, what series is she watching? How have you managed to get to 35? Yeah, 35%. That's quick math. I like that from you. Seven teams on Matchpoint. And, you know, statistically, we should see a winner here in Match 8. That is going to be tough, though, for those teams who are kind of watching in the wings and haven't been able to get to Matchpoint yet. But you need to now take advantage of this. If you are the likes of Tripods, for example, saying, actually...

03:51:16 Top eight is still doable here. And if likelihood is that it's going to finish, we need to be making sure that we do pick up points here in match eight. We can't afford to think this is going to go any further.

03:51:26 It's the fact that it's so close. You mentioned Tripods being in 10th place, still having the opportunity to possibly get Top 8. It's how close this Top 8 is in general. Meat Lovers still has not hit Match Point. They are two crumbs away, literally at 48 points from finding themselves at Match Point. But then right behind them is Evolution with 41 points. So one crazy good game from either Evolution, even Tripods, could literally skyrocket and completely change the bottom end of this Top 8.

03:51:54 I think that would be the biggest shock of today if we see Meat Lovers drop out of the top 8, especially considering...

03:52:00 How well they did in the initial three games. And we were talking about them being the first team to get onto Matchpoint. And this is where pressure now comes into it even more so. Because it was a very different pressure for Meat Lovers earlier on in the previous games. It was, can we get to Matchpoint? Now it's a case of, can we stay in the top eight? It's a very different thing that you have to start thinking about. And again, could really affect the process of how you play here if you are the Meat Lovers. So we have to keep an eye on them and how they're going to be performing. But also we have seven teams on Matchpoint. So surely it's going to...

03:52:30 Vielen Dank.

03:52:30 Even with the seven teams at Matchpoint, you feel safe because you've hit that Matchpoint. You just have to get that dub and that's it. You close out the day for everybody else in NA. But going on to another match in Stormpoint, the teams that feel way more comfortable here on this map have another chance on taking the dub and closing it out here. But it's still how close in points this Top 8 is. Even Temper, NGNL, Esports, the teams that are at Matchpoint with 52 points, Meat Lovers is right there with 48 points. Who knows if Evolution is going to be able to have...

03:53:00 Ich glaube, es ist noch ein Spiel zu spielen.

03:53:29 Yeah, and I think this is also one of those things that...

03:53:54 We haven't mentioned yet here on the show, but the longer this goes on, and it's kind of the point you were just talking about, Vicky, when is the point where they kind of get past

03:54:04 The point of being in a good groove. When do they start slowing down and it starts opening up those doors of opportunity for the other teams who have just made it on to match point and might be a little bit more hyped and still have some of that energy going. I mean, we've seen match point go for quite some time, depending on how far back in the history of competitive apex you want to go. So there is potential for this to hit match nine. And does that then boil down?

03:54:33 to experience with being able to handle those longer play days or being able to keep yourself in the right state of mind after hitting Match Point for an extended period of time, Vicky.

03:54:45 Yeah, I mean, burnout is a thing. It's a thing in every game. And you're playing in the highest level of Apex that you could play in right now, trying to fight for a spot in the Split 2 Pro League. Because for anybody tuning in right now, this isn't for LAN. This is just simply to compete in Split 2 Pro League, to play online, to see if they have a shot at maybe playing for Split 2 LAN, if they make it there. But it's the fact that you have to keep this going for who knows how long. If it doesn't end here, yeah, we got that Game 9. And at that point, I would hope to maybe see at least...

03:55:15 45-50% of the lobby at Matchpoint. Again, we are at 35%, so if we don't really call it here, I'd be surprised, but it's not like it wouldn't be the first time. Oh, absolutely. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised either if we end up with more teams on Matchpoint. If you guys are just joining us for the first time, we can also take a look back at...

03:55:37 So you can see exactly who we're talking about, what we're referencing when we're saying where all of our teams are when it comes to this match point. And you can see seven squads are currently on match point, which means if any of these seven teams win the next match coming up around the corner, then they will end the competition. They will win the whole thing, but also end the competition. So whoever is in top eight right now will make it through. But if that's not the case, I mean,

03:56:06 Evolution, nur 9 points. Es gibt noch mehr Teams, die können auf Matchpoint und Tripods sein. Ich sagte das vor dem letzten Match, denn sie waren in 17th vor dem letzten Match. Eine Pop-Off-Performance wird sie jetzt in den Top 10, außer den restlichen Teams auf der Bubble. Sie können einfach ein 12-point-Gap auf die Matchpoint in dieser nächsten Match und dann in die gleiche Arena mit den restlichen Teams.

03:56:35 Yeah, it's the scariest position, it's Meat Lovers being in 8th place and not being on Match Point, because anyone who's on Match Point can secure Pro League by just winning. Like, if you win, you are guaranteed it, you don't have to worry about how many points you are, where you are, you just guarantee yourself in Pro League. And then there's the teams that are on the more healthy side of the points, 1-3, maybe even 1-7 with how things are going, but...

03:56:57 Du hast Teams sagen, okay, wenn es hier endet wird, werden wir wahrscheinlich nicht getrennt werden. Meat Lovers, aber nicht haben diese Option. Instead, sie sagen wir A, müssen wir zu Match Point werden, aber B, müssen wir auch genug Point werden, sodass wir die Likes von Evolution und Tripods bleiben. Es ist nicht einfach für sie, wassohbar. Wir schauen uns noch einmal an die zweite Seite und einfach...

03:57:19 See where everybody's at, because even 36, the 37, 38, all those teams in that area are still technically within striking distance, if by some...

03:57:31 Es gibt so viel Chaos, besonders wenn wir die Fakt.

03:57:59 Ich denke, es ist bereit zu gehen, Leute, so wir gehen. Danke, Glitter. Ich liebe das Deep Dive hier, weil wir die Stakes sind, wo die Teams in Matchpoint stehen sind, aber was ist das Risiko für die Team, specifically Meatlover, die in der 8th Platz ist, was es bedeutet, dass das 7-6-point-differenzial zwischen Evolution und Evolution stehen in 9th Platz mit 41 Punkte.

03:58:23 Du hast gesagt Meatlover, so ist das nur ein individuell auf den Meatlovers oder nicht? Ich möchte wissen, wer mehr liebt aus den Meatlovers aus dem Meatlovers, denn wir müssen wissen. Es ist Match 8 in der PLQ hier und es gibt nur 8 Spots in ProLeague für Split 2 von diesem Tournament. So wer wird dann knuckle-down und finden eine Victory? 7 verschiedene Teams? Surely, Vicky? Surely, das wird jetzt sein, wenn es endet wird. Aber wir haben gesehen, verrückter Dinge passieren.

Match 8 Analyse: Strategien, Risiken und Team-Performance

03:58:50

03:58:50 I can't wait to see it all play down because I also feel like this is the perfect opportunity for the Grimm Griefers to really show up here, but we're gonna have to see with our teams landing in their respective POIs, the squads that find more of that success here on Storm Point. Obviously, speaking of the devil, Meat Lovers themselves are gonna be able to get that split loot that we've seen them come out of before, but it's also so much information that they usually get here. They also have the Trident, which is so important when it comes to those quick rotates to see if you can get a scan if there's a beacon nearby.

03:59:18 So the Meat Lovers, we know they're going to be dropping on the northeast side, the edges are close by, but the edges, they're on match point. The Meat Lovers, however, they just need to find a couple of points to get there themselves, but then also continue to find consistent points, because that's what the Meat Lovers have not done over the last four games. They have not been consistent. They have only picked up...

03:59:37 5 points over the last 4 games, which is not good enough if they want to find themselves in Pro League. They might just squeak through if we see one of the teams get the victory now, but they have to make sure they put their best foot forward. All the teams highlighted in white, of course, are on match point, and if they find a victory here, will conclude the PLQ and will be the victors and guarantee themselves Pro League, and then 2nd through 8th, respectively, will find themselves in Pro League as well. This is going to be a nervy game.

04:00:05 Absolutely. And you see where that next circle is going to be moving on to. That's going to be the first step for these squads that are finding themselves in that match point. If they want to try to slow rotate more so playing by the edge. Going to have to see.

04:00:18 With these teams still Meat Lovers taking their time to see if they can deny at least that ring console that's over by that north side of Lightning Rod away from the Edgers. But it looks like they were trying to see if they could either wrap around Meat Lovers or just end up just going over to the south. And with that Gravity Cannon activated, it does seem like they've already gone ahead and tried to rotate around them. Oh, I'm looking on the map and the one member of Edgers who sent themselves over to Stormcatcher was greeted by Puck Yeah.

04:00:43 Und was grieft a little bit, but it looks like gonna be okay. So edges, there was a small amount of panic there that I witnessed, but they have been able to regroup and get back together. At least two of them. One of them is going on a looting spree. This is a little bit risky from edges. They know kind of the looting path that is available to them. This is one of the advantages of getting further into these matches and playing more of these lobbies as you learn where people are gonna be, where people aren't gonna be with their looting paths. So a chance for the edges to find a little bit of extra.

04:01:13 Jetzt haben wir noch ein paar Teams da. LMAO, CCE, eine unserer Matchpoint-Teams, Eternal, Bored, Weave, einer unserer Matchpoint-Teams und Evolution. Es gibt noch ein paar Teams da, und noch ein paar Teams da sind in der Chasing-Pack, so es gibt noch ein paar Kommission zu sein.

04:01:36 What I'm mostly worried about, if this is one of those whiplash circles, and if people try to set up in Cito, but it ends up pulling towards the outskirts of Jurassic, that is going to be a bloodbath for the squads that want to very much rely on that final circle positioning. We're going to have to see as Borde, being one of those squads in the middle, could find themselves pinched in a situation like this. Yeah, they have the cost of gas traps, but I do not like this positioning right now with so many other squads rotating. Stallions are going to be right behind them. Eternal, here another squad.

04:02:05 Ich glaube, es ist ein bisschen zu tun, aber es ist ein bisschen zu tun, aber ich würde gerne versuchen, hier zu gehen.

04:02:34 Other teams even landing right here. Temper. Trying to get out of the line of sight of the squad that has height. Nice smokes though, but still taking a split angle on the low ground of Seto. Once again, there's like five to six teams that have already taken control over the different buildings that neighbor Seto. You have NGNL, you have Brown, you have Temper, you have CCE on the north side with the Loba, the Rampart already set up. LMAO to the south side. So many different squads here.

04:03:02 Oh, and a knock with one shot already. That was easy for them to clean up. That's Evolution. Gone. Done. See you later. Thank you for coming. Temper, make sure they reinstate their chances of being able to win this thing by eliminating a team who was nearby. That's more like D-Evolution right there. They were literally one shot when they took some shots at them with that havoc blaring through the sky here. Other teams have now started to land once again on the other side of Cito. This time it's going to be Puck Yeah, Bud and Jojo.

04:03:32 So Pacquiao, 19th. When we speak about miracles, we speak about...

04:03:45 The impossible happening, if Puck Yeah were to get into Pro League, that would be a story we would tell for the remainder of our years in a casting profession. They have such a long way to go. They would have to not only hope that one of the teams on Match Point does not win here, but also have a victory themselves with a good amount of kills to put themselves even in the question of Top 8. I have seen...

04:04:09 Crazy things happen. So, you know, I'm, you know, I'll never say never because I once, Mickey, I on a commentary said never. I said that a team would not win as a solo. And I said, I was so sure of it. I said I would shave my head and you know what happened? And that was the biggest regret of my life. You may ask, did I shave my head? Absolutely not. I never would. And I wish I hadn't said it because now Mark never lets me live it down.

04:04:32 Barks just wants you to match with them, you know, maybe one LAN, you know, you gotta give it to them maybe once. Didn't you do the same thing this today, though? You did the same thing saying that, you know, CCE, they totally got it in the bag after, what, game of six? And yeah, then we saw what happened with the evac towers instead. So maybe you're just cursed. I am cursed. I didn't say I'd shave my head, at least. I've learned my lesson there.

04:04:55 Ich bin sicher, niemand wirklich wollte das sehen. Jetzt sind wir in Match 8, so es geht ein bisschen weiter weg von der Traumatik Zeit für CCE. Ich glaube, sie werden noch ein bisschen annoyed werden, dass sie nicht die Victory sind, als jetzt Fury wird auf ICBM geholfen, eine andere Team, die ein Miracle brauchen, wenn sie für ProLeague qualify sind. Aber sie können den Rest des Lobbys, wenn sie ein Team gewinnen können, wenn sie ein Team gewinnen können.

04:05:15 See about Fury being on the other side, though. They weren't able to get the knock here. Now they have the number advantage. This is the fight for that evil harvester, too. So important in terms of positioning as ICBM closing the gap. They see one left for Fury, and they take them out, send them back to the lobby. 17 squads left remaining here, and the majority of this lobby is already on the outskirts of Sido.

04:05:39 Wow, I mean, it's starting to get scary over towards Seto, isn't it? You can see Tripods are making their way on the northwest, and they're probably going to rotate through the choke and try and push from the northern side. So Edges, Temper, CCE, Stallions, NGNL, and Weave still alive, but Bored eliminated. So that's one of our Matchpoint teams have already fallen. We're down to six.

04:06:03 How many more left here for that next circle? We're gonna have to see. No Name. Now rotating right behind Stallions. The Edgers, though, had taken a really interesting rotate. We saw them rotating all the way over to the east side of the map, but they had used that pathing to prioritize the Evil Harvesters. There was two on their way as they make their way slowly into that next circle, avoiding some of the fights like this, actually, as we're seeing more of these squads rotating from the north side of Cito. Edgers are slowly gonna start making their way.

04:06:31 So 10th position in the moment for Tripods. They are within touching distance of the top 8 though.

04:06:47 Sie haben sich in das Spiel in der Lage, eine gewisse Match 7-Ferform. Aber können sie das Replicate, das zu geben, die Möglichkeit zu werden, in Pro-League zu bekommen? Es wäre eine fantastische Geschichte für sie, vor allem nach der Herausforderungen sie haben heute. Es ist ein sehr auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf- und auf-

04:07:14 Abrileli und die resten der squad sind mehr als glücklich in der building. Sie reside in ICBM, wieder zu versuchen, und zu versuchen, jemanden zu machen.

04:07:31 It's a really interesting dynamic when you have so many teams on Match Point because you can't play as slow. You can't just...

04:07:55 Wait out and hope you can find yourself getting the victory. Instead, you still need to be thinking about accumulating points so you stay ahead of the chasing pack and don't drop out of that top eight. As Stallions being another one of those teams, they're on 54 points at the moment. They are on match point and they finally have only just got to match point. Will they be able to convert? It happens sometimes that these teams who take a while to get match point are better at converting once they get there as Albert Lettley. Great shots with a car doing 100 or so damage.

04:08:24 Umberle, he's just been on another level today. You love to see the progress out here from a player like Alv when he has a really nice IGL to really guide the rest of this team here too. The Cossack forcing back this team. They're just gonna give him the respect, but they get taken down while JLo and prevents them from running away with the scan. Now they're gonna be able to close in the gap and get a lot more aggressive because there's no other team really in the area that can contest them other than Eternal that's on the outskirts of Jurassic.

04:08:50 Stahlians, sie können hier nicht mehr bleiben, richtig? Sie sind jetzt gegen Noname, aber wenn das Circle geht, sie müssen mit dem Noname gehen. Und Eternl ist irgendwie zu spielen hier, mit Stahlians auf Noname zu halten. Und dann die Circle wird es sogar noch schlimmer für die Teams, die über den Seto übernommen sind. Das ist das, was du gesagt hast, es geht um, es geht weiter von Seto. Und es ist CCE, die werden Slam-Bam-Bam in die Mitte.

04:09:18 Maybe they're gonna get another opportunity to win PLQ here. That was so strange. No Name just called the Moby right in front of Sally's almost as like a taunt and they pay for it. Now that's just free KP. Sally's are gonna come up. They get another knock leaving only one player alive for No Name. Gonna be tough for No Name now as a solo player. The solo should be able to get away.

04:09:44 The remaining corpse of the other is just going to be enough to delay the stallion so they don't push up. In the solo of no name, it's a case now of, do you just try and retrieve those banners? I think you kind of have to go for that play. I don't think as a solo you're going to be doing much else. But also you want to be thinking about, can I get closer to match point?

04:10:05 I mean, especially with this circle pool, because even if that solo tries to wrap around and not abandon the banners and just immediately go to circle, look at all the teams that you're going to be met with here. The teams that probably do not have circle info. There is a circle beacon and a survey beacon, but we know that that's being gatekept by two teams potentially. I'm looking at Brown on the left side there that probably already have that information, but it's about how they're going to rotate into that next circle. But the one team that called this right from the beginning.

04:10:34 Well, everybody else made their way in Cecilia with Evac Towers is CCE, who are sitting pretty still with that Black Market and the Rampart walls. By the way, No Name did just get a couple of Rez's, and we'll be back as a full team here, but the zone is going to chomp at them as we see Meat Lovers moving on in and moving on up. Can they...

04:10:56 ...und only survive and get to Matchpoint, but can they stay in the top eight? That's the biggest question we have right now. They're going to be on the far eastern side. Stallions down to just two. Albrelli has fallen, so it's down to the remaining two to try and do something that's not going to happen. So Stallions out. Another Matchpoint team eliminated. A lot of these teams who are not on Matchpoint, Vicky, are taking gunfights and winning them.

04:11:18 Stally's got ripped apart, and the initial knock was from NoName that had just gotten the res, preventing that last player from Stally's from taking the evac tower. What a play there, and then Stally's dying immediately on landing. Chaos coming out here as Meatlovers still alive. Ethan's gonna be able to reset here with the medkit, but they're getting pinged in the distance by another team here with the nemesis.

04:11:42 So just two points required for Meatlovers to get onto Matchpoint. But then they may have to go on and win the entire match if they want a chance to even use that Matchpoint, but they might not even get there again.

04:11:52 Cereo Cat ist in den Dammage. Tech ist jetzt schon der letzte Spieler hier. Und das könnte so gefährlich sein für Meat Lovers sein. Nicht für ihre Chance zu kommen, sondern für ihre Chance zu kommen, aber für ihre Chance zu kommen. Sie sind in 8th Platz. Es gibt Teams, aber sie haben sich gerade wieder auf die 2. Da ist noch hope. Und ich sehe B.M. versuchen, die anderen Teams zu kommen, weil sie jetzt auf die Meit Lovers sind. Sie sind gerade auf die Duel von den Edgern.

04:12:21 Und sie versuchen das Spiel zu nehmen. Aber Meat Lovers sieht aus, dass sie vielleicht ein wenig sind. Sie können Teck aufbauen, aber Syracat versucht das Spiel zu geben, während Ethan versucht das Suppress-Fire zu geben.

Dramatische Wendungen und das Finale der Pro League Qualifikation

04:12:32

04:12:32 Well ICBM did just get eliminated. They were the team that were above griefing Meat Lovers. Meat Lovers might get a chance to reset here, but it is Tripods who are the next team closest to Meat Lovers. And not only closest in terms of distance, but also closest in terms of standings as well. So if they can work that out, if they can take down the Meat Lovers, there is hope for the Tripods, as now they are in ninth position. 43 points. They are so close to the Meat Lovers, and the Meat Lovers just get eliminated. Suddenly, the door has now opened for Tripods to get...

04:13:02 Das war's.

04:13:11 I can't believe Meatlovers just went out at 49 points. One point away from being at Matchpoint. They can't catch a break, but this leaves open the door for other teams to move in and scoop up that same spot. Temper, 55 points in fifth place. They pop the Beast of the Hunt as they close in the gap between themselves and an edge of the circle here, but they're getting gatecapped by another team. Still got five teams on Matchpoint that are still alive here.

04:13:37 Five teams that can end it here and now in match number eight as we get absolute carnage on this western side. Temper being one of those teams on match point, but they're down to just one. No Name just got eliminated as well. Make Temper out two in 12th position. So that's another match point team that's gone.

04:13:54 Und wir wussten, dass das eine Blutbath für die Quadsen zu haben. Das ist das, was wir haben, als CCE ist, dass die Bühne sind. Die Bühne sind in der Bühne, wo der Circle ist. Die Edger sind jetzt über die Rockslide, in der Mitte der Wasser. DNO geteilt, acht Quads leften. Everybody ist weg, als Puck, ja, sind noch alive. Die Conduit hat sie genug Zeit und Zeit, aber sie sind noch spielen auf der Bühne. Die Bühne sind noch auf der Bühne.

04:14:21 Das ist so schwer für Tripods. Sie sind gegen Weave auf dem Moment. Sie sehen, wo Weave ist. Aber es ist CCE, die die größte Team zu enden, hier. Sie haben Centerzone. Weave hat jetzt auch Eliminated. Das sind mehr Punkte für Tripods.

04:14:50 ... ... ... ... ...

04:15:13 ist Tripods, die schnell zu gehen. Und als wir schon gesehen haben, hier kommt die Gibbe-Gibbe-Bubble, hier kommt die Trident. Sie versuchen, ihre Weg zu versuchen, wie es Fast & Furious ist in dieser Geburt. Puck's gone down, Puck's gone down, das gibt es die Punkte zu Tripods, die jetzt müssen die gleiche, wenn nicht die Hände, von Meatlovers. 49-49, NGNL, eine andere Team.

04:15:32 Are you kidding me? With the Sheila 2 as a duo, they find Anmu!

04:16:00 Tripods in trouble, NGNL staying alive for as long as possible. Say hello to my little friend from any squads trying to exit out of Cito. It is the Edgers that are on the other side of the Gravity Cannon. They are looking at also known as, and NGNL are going to be sharing this building between CCE and Tripods.

04:16:19 Aka are losing players and Tripod still has a player alive. This is massive. We have got to keep an eye on what the Tripods can do here. Deeds, the last chance, the last remaining player to maybe disrupt things from the high ground of the nut as everyone now trying to find those just stragglers, those rats that are still alive. But we still have Edges, we still have NG now, we still have CCE and Aka have been wiped off the face of the earth. That means Tripods overtake Meat Lovers and all the remaining teams left are Matchpoint teams. The Tripods...

04:16:48 Oh, Tripods get fully sent on by CCE. They heard a Moby being called in from behind. I don't think they know that NGNL are right behind their building, but they have built themselves some crazy cover. Look at this. Between the Trident, all the Amped barriers. Are you kidding me?

04:17:07 All three teams are on Match Point. It is going to end here. We are going to know who is going to be the PLQ champion. Edgers, CCE and NGNL. But CCE have lost one. So have NGNL. Are we going to see potentially the chance for the Edgers to continue their incredible form from yesterday and carry it in to the finals today? Let's see here with the Edgers still having all three alive for this squad. The Thermal Charger, Gold Extended, Energy Mag in the Havoc for Chase.

04:17:34 They're taking some shots, but he popped a piece of a hut. Was it too early here? They see CCE. They're fighting. It's only one left here for Trev to stay alive. He's got the Sheila ready, but he's got to look to his back as the other squads try to force their way through the door.

04:17:47 This should be a tap-in for the Edgers, but Sheila can always change things. It's still commotion in the nut building, but Edgers are able to watch this all unfold, as now they can make their way in to potentially just clean up all the scraps, and it should be as comfortable, as easy as 1, 2, 3 for the Edgers here, Vicky. Breaking down the door here, the Edgers, Hambino falling incredibly low, Depressly gets taken down, though. Chance is the only one that has a bit of health. Having to play off the lip, though, they're so low!

04:18:16 Surely no way that NGNL turn this one around, but they have made it doable. Wave with this PK has to take on the world. He's got a bubble, but can you hit the shots, or are we going to see the Edgers edge this one out? And they get the damage. The Edgers carry on. Such an impressive Saturday into Sunday. They guarantee themselves in the Pro League, and they will win the BLQ.

04:18:39 It took 8 games, 8 games finally here. The Edgers take the dub. But Dan, I have to be honest with you. I was a little scared there. There's nothing scarier than a Gibby playing inside his bubble with a PK. And he was trying to play that so patiently, but you could only imagine how nerve-wracking a situation like that is, especially when you're playing it out as a duel for the entirety of that endgame. But what patience from the Edgers to take that dub.

04:19:08 Yeah, I mean, arguably maybe too patient at the end because they allow the team to kind of come towards them, but it doesn't matter in the end because they get the job done. Bigger story, and we will get confirmation, but Tripods were getting very close, if not overtaking Meat Lovers, and I'm fairly certain we might have a huge upset and potentially having the Tripods moving into Pro League, but we'll wait for confirmation from the admins because it was getting awfully close. I think there's only a point or two in it, and that would mean that the Meat Lovers potentially drop out.

04:19:37 I don't know if enjoying is the right word because I was really stressed the entire final circle of that match. The fact that...

04:20:00 NGNL was able to get in with two on the Trident and nobody looked at them for a while. They were able to get themselves reset down below on that low ground. Edgers just kind of waited in the wings for everything to play out in their favor. I really thought CCE was going to be able to hold the building and use the rampart walls to their advantage for a little bit of cover. I almost think when they peeked out to clean up, it was Meat Lovers on the top of the building, right? I think that afforded too much.

04:20:29 für die anderen Teams zu sehen was, was in der building was, und start kind of poking them down. They had to get a couple resets in, and it was just chaos at the end. But I know we're crunching numbers, standings, trying to figure out what some of these teams finished. So while that's all happening, we'll take a look back at the last couple final circles to close out the day, because this was pure chaos.

04:20:56 Take us back to Match 7 here, Dan. I mean, this was a fun one, and this was the beginning of Tripods finding their success, right? They had a, what, 20-plus game here, and even though they didn't necessarily find the victory, this was what started the entire comeback. They were able to go from the bottom five to...

04:21:14 A chance at a top 8, which is what we're going to be talking about for quite some time if we do confirm it. But this final circle with Bubble coming down again, we're starting to see that in a few of these end circles from NGNL. The Bubble wasn't enough in the end. It was the chance for the other teams to come in. It was Board who just engaged right at the final second from the high ground. And they were the team who were able to close things out and get that victory and keep us rolling into Matchnabay. And of course, Vicky, these final moments were just pure chaos.

04:21:44 Es war so crazy hier, weil die Edgers, ich meine, wir waren überzeugt, dass das einfach ist, richtig? 3v2, sie haben so viel Platz hinter ihnen. Und dann, wir sah die Schiele und die Gibby holding ein schönes Headglitch auf der anderen Seite, bei der Gravity Cannon. Trips nicht commit zu healing, sondern wollte sie auch helfen, aber es war nicht so, dass er nicht so, dass er die Meds hat. Es war es, dass er die Shield Cell hat, oder er hat sich einfach zu helfen, und er hat einen extra Body zu helfen. Aber in diesem Fall, am Ende, NGNL nicht Clutchero konnte. Es war die Edgers, die Ender kamen.

04:22:13 But they were at match point for quite some time, too. It was inevitable, and they played that so safe. Yeah, and to give NGNL a little bit of credit as well, they played really well every time they were able to utilize their Gibby bubble in those final circle fights. It was definitely very reminiscent of back when literally everyone was using those Gibby bubbles, and the last one to pop was the one who was usually going to win. But we saw such a...

04:22:39 A more even playing field here in NA. And just how scrappy these teams really had to get in order to even get themselves.

04:22:48 Ja, wir hatten zwei sehr unterschiedliche Lobbys, von EMEA zu NA. Wir hatten ein Team reach Matchpoint und gewinnen in drei, und dann alle wissen, dass sie nur sechs Matches haben, so ihr könnt es in dieser Weise approachen.

04:23:17 We might have to avoid thinking about winning, really. Instead, let's just try and be secure in our playstyle so that we pick up enough points that we stay ahead of the chasing pack. And sadly, for the likes of Meat Lovers, I think it might have ended in a little bit of a damaging aspect for them.

04:23:34 Well, we'll find out in just a few short moments. First, we're going to take a look at the Match 8 specific results, see where everybody ended up at the end of it all, where they were with their kills. Obviously, Edge is closing in with eight kills for a total of 20 points, but that top four all very even with their KP9 going the way of NGNL, eight for CCE, and seven for Tripods, Vicky.

04:23:58 Actually crazy here with the 8KP for Edgers at the very end, while they were forcing their way into the next circle, we saw all the chaos go down in Cedo and NGNL coming out too. It was CCE that predicted that circle from the very beginning though, and that's why that they were able to farm that Red Evil Shield from afar. With the Sentinel in hand, Tripods though, they had the game that they needed to have. With 7KP, who knows where this leaves them at in the top 10.

04:24:26 Wir sehen uns auf die zweite Seite und sehen, wo die restlichen Gruppen endet in den letzten Matchen. Honestly, es ist ein sehr guter Kp-Arasse. Der Faktor ist so viele Teams, bis zu 17, bis zu 17, wirklich able zu versuchen, für die letzten paar Punkte zu können.

04:24:45 Es war eine Well-Fought-Final-Match-8. Und wie du sagst, Dan, hat es eine massive Implication, wenn es zu den Overall-Series-Resulten. Ja, ich habe gesehen, dass du zwei und zwei zusammenbringst. Me Lovers haben nicht genug gemacht. Und sie waren 42 Punkte nach drei Games. Aber das ist wie es endet. Tripods waren able zu piffen sie auf den Punch und finden sich in der 8th Position. Da sind deine Top-8-Teams. Da sind deine 8-Teams.

04:25:14 1 point was the difference here

04:25:44 Absolutely crushed, but on the flip side, talk about the comeback out of Tripod, able to sneak in in those final moments, Vicky. Weren't they in the bottom 10 at one point? Yeah! They won that one crazy game, and then now they're in the top 8. Are you kidding me? That is crazy. I think in that last game alone, Anmu got 5kp, Deeds got 2. Anmu literally helped out this team get the points that they needed at the very end, aside from the placement and help that Deeds was able to put in.

04:26:13 at the very end for this team. I mean, by one point, look at that. Meat Lovers was at, what, 48, 47 for like the last three to four games. They barely really were able to squeak in any points and that had allowed other teams like Tripods to just come out and wait and take the opportunity to get it. Phenomenal, phenomenal performance. This is why we always say whenever you're looking at these leaderboards, you literally cannot count anyone out.

04:26:41 Until everything is said and done. You can see just how close these points are. Even all the way down to 14th with 39 points. A 10 point gap between that and 9th place. That's not insurmountable. All of these teams fought so so hard to try and do whatever they could in a lobby that was just really difficult. It took us 8 matches to even close it out. Because that's how level the playing field was. So at the end.

04:27:10 End of the day, honestly, well fought on behalf of everyone that even made it to the stage of the competition, Dan. Yeah, of course, commiserations to those who did not get into Pro League, especially, I would, like, even though it's crazy to see, and we talk about Meat Lovers dropping out, commiserations to them guys as well, because it's going to be the most difficult for them, how close they were, but sadly won't be in Pro League.

04:27:32 And just a reminder, though, to everyone at home who's wondering, there also will be an LCQ later on in the year. So we still have lots of Apex action to go. We have to get through Split 2. And of course, we have a LAN right around the corner. So opportunities abound for all of our players. But it's time for us to highlight an individual player for MVP on the day. And this one was tough, okay? When you end up at the end of the day with eight teams who hit match points.

04:28:02 Das war so viele Möglichkeiten, aber es war Chasemob auf der Bloodhound für die Edgers. Die Edgers waren natürlich einer der ersten zwei Teams auf der Tag, die wir able zu hit Matchpoint haben und dann haben sie zu battleen, versuchen sie in der Runde zu bleiben.

04:28:26 Was was it for more matches? I think if I'm not mistaken, they had to put in a slog. But Chase was able to bring utility, able to bring information and so much added slaying power to the trio. So at the end of the day, it had to be Chase mobbing. Congratulations once again to the Edgers on being able to close out, which would have surely gone gone on.

04:28:50 Essentially, a few more matches if it didn't end there because everybody had just managed to end up in a flow. But it is time for us to get into our interview to close things out as well. And if we're speaking of impressive players, Hambino is no stranger to being an impressive player. Bring him in. Let's chat. We've got the voice of Hambino. Dude, congratulations. Let's go.

04:29:18 Wir sind so glücklich. Wir sind so glücklich. Wir sind so glücklich für ein Jahr zusammen. Ich sah in den pre-game Chat, once you reached Matchpoint, zu sagen, wir sind nur in den Lobby, wir werden uns gebetetet ein bisschen. Das war das wahr? Ich glaube, es war definitiv ein Targeting in den letzten zwei Spielen, aber wir sind wirklich lucky. Der Zone Pool war wirklich toll.

04:29:48 Yeah, you guys called that out amazingly. I mean, I want to pick your thoughts because your team and the way that you guys are so cohesive together is on another level, honestly. What are your thoughts of playing together with Chase specifically? Because between today and yesterday, Chase has just been on another level. Chase is so slept on because he's not a streamer and he doesn't really like get around much in the scene. He's so good. I'm so happy to have him as a teammate.

04:30:14 Talk to us a little bit about what it was like being one of the two teams to get on Matchpoint and then having to fight through the slog that everybody knows can happen in Matchpoint where you're so close so many different times and then you have to go again. What does the team do for your mental in those situations?

04:30:30 We just love playing together. It's great. I mean, I watch so many other people when I'm studying VODs and it just doesn't seem like they like playing together. We love playing together. Like, that's why we've been together for a year. So it's just really great to, you know, come out there and have fun, but also do well. And how far do you think you guys can go now? Because qualification, Pro League confirmed for you guys. Do you think that, like, LAN could be on the horizon? Do you think there's maybe champs could be on the horizon? What is the end goal for your team?

04:30:59 We just farmed back-to-back lobbies. I'm feeling great. I know the job's not finished, but we're going to try our hardest to get to that land, without a doubt. Awesome.

04:31:07 I love that confidence. Alright, just a real back on how the day really went forward for you guys. So many teams are at Matchpoint. I just want to pick your brain a little bit. As a player that has to deal with being in a lobby where 35% of these teams in that lobby are at Matchpoint, how do you really navigate around that? As you and your team try to stay cohesive and keep yourself grounded, how do you guys go about Matchpoint final days and other teams also hitting Matchpoint?

04:31:33 We thought we were the best team in the lobby today. We were confident. We were great. We played awesome. So we just knew as long as we get the points, I mean, we're going to make pro league regardless. First or eighth, it didn't really matter. But, I mean, we came out with the win anyway. Well, it absolutely worked. So congratulations to you and the team yet again for qualifying through to split two. And thank you so much for jumping on here and chatting with us. Thank you for having me, guys. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

04:32:04 All right, guys, we did it. We did it. We made it through NAPLQ. Eight matches before we are able to close it out and an insanely close day overall. Dan, I want to get your thoughts on the performance today. Firstly, I love the lower third voice of...

04:32:22 I love getting to do this. I love seeing players happy about their achievements and being able to get back into pro.

04:32:51 I feel really sorry for those who aren't going to make it, but hopefully they continue with the grind. They don't make too many team changes and they'll be back at it again and potentially back competing in pro league one day. Yeah, definitely an exciting and fun day for sure. Vicky, give me your thoughts.

04:33:07 Congratulations to the team that have been able to now qualify for Split 2 Pro League. NA is a very difficult region for a reason, and now I can't wait to see how the competition pairs up, especially with the hype of LAN right around the corner. What better way to find yourself excited after actually competing and making it into Split 2? Yeah, there's definitely lots of hype coming around the corner. Well, fantastic job as always.

04:33:30 to Mark, Dan, and Vicky. You guys are incredible. And now we know which of our teams will competing in Split 2, which means it's time for us to look forward to the next big thing, which of course is LAN. We're talking about it May 2nd through May 5th. Split 1 Playoffs lands in LA, okay? You guys absolutely...
