ALGS Championship Qualifikation und Team-Übersicht

00:00:09

00:00:09 The most prestigious competitive event in the ALGS Calendar. I'm Jumba, this is the ALGS Rundown, and let's break down the qualification methods our teams are striving for to book their tickets to Sapporo. All of the best Apex teams in the world will be fighting for their share of the 2 million US dollar prize pool and the chance to lift the championship trophy in Sapporo, Japan. But how do teams make it there? Throughout the ALGS Calendar year,

00:01:05 Our teams have earned Championship Points based on their placements in Pro League, the ALGS Open, and the Mid-Season Playoffs. The top 24 teams on the Global Championship Point Leaderboard will automatically qualify for the ALGS Championship in Japan.

00:01:19 auf der Ende des Splitt 2 Pro-League. LANs earnet ihr die meisten points, so top-performing teams, like Team Falcons, die winners of the ALGS Open, und VK Gaming, die winners of the ALGS Mid-Season Playoffs, have earned thousands of points, putting them at the top of the championship point leaderboards. Other top performers, like Alliance, Gen.G, Ninjas in Pajamas, who have been consistent throughout the year, both in Pro-League and at LAN, have all but locked their spots in for Japan as well. Further down the leaderboard, teams like TSM, Virtus.Pro, Noah's Fox, will be fighting for their position

00:01:48 auf den Championship Point-Leaderbook. Sie werden sich in den Top 24 befinden, um ihre Ticket für Sapporo zu holen.

00:01:55 Anyone that wins their region's Split 2 Pro League will book their ticket to Japan. With four regions, each having their own Pro League, there will be one slot per region up for grabs for placing first. So consistency is key if you want to secure your spot for chance. The next method is regional finals. The winners of each regional final, regardless of their final placement in Pro League standings, will also lock in a spot for Sapporo. The regional final will utilize the match point format, so you'll have to be locked in and aim for that big win if you want to.

00:02:25 Wenn ihr in Sapporo gewonnen habt, dann haben wir uns in Sapporo gewonnen.

00:02:54 Das heißt, 8 Spots jetzt noch bleiben, als wir in unsere Last Chance Qualifiers, die zwei Spots per Region haben, für die Grabs. Die LCQ für die Region gibt es all die remaining Split-2 Pro-League-Teams, die noch nicht für die Champions-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League

00:03:16 Was teams do you hope to see to make it to the ALGS in Japan? Let us know down in the comments.

00:03:45 Das war der ALGS Rundown mit mir, Jumba. Vielen Dank für alle, und wir sehen uns alle, für den Splitt 2 Pro League.

00:05:18 Ich bin Glitter Explosion. Ich bin Glitter Explosion.

00:05:44 I am, I am. It's like we never left. It's like these teams never stopped playing, although in between the time when we were first on broadcast and now, I've done a lot of math, and I'm surprised that I'm still holding it together enough to even be here with you right now.

00:06:00 I'm excited that you're good and ready to go for today. Graceful, are you excited as well? I mean, you look like you are chomping at the bit here to get into a Mia. I mean, I'm always ready for some very good Apex level. And seeing more PK Singh and more Peter two taps, it's going to be fun. But, you know, I'm looking forward. I saw the next patch notes further in the future. This might be, you know, I hope we get a little bit less of what we're seeing now. Because as me, as a gamer, we're getting two tapped all the time. We're two tapping people. A little bit rough.

00:06:32 There's so much stuff that we're going to end up talking about throughout the rest of the split. Before we even get to that, though, we saw so many interesting stats and storylines coming out of last weekend. And in my opinion, they kind of all fell under the umbrella of adapting to survive, whether that was the new Legend comps that we saw across all of our regions. I mean, more Rampart. Hello, Diaz. Excited about that. Or all of our teams.

Anpassungsfähigkeit als Schlüssel zum Erfolg in der ALGS

00:06:54

00:06:54 Starting to take statistically more ring damage? Are they starting to play edge? Either way, it's all about figuring out any way to find success. So let's take a look back at our Match Day 3 highlights to remind everybody at home exactly what went down. Because Graceful, last time around, it was NVMI who had really figured it all out.

00:07:13 Es war es, für die Leute, die gewonnen haben. Wie gesagt, die PeakyAction. Wir werden sehen das in all diesen Clips, viel action von diesen Teams. Aber wir können nicht die Level der Teamplay, die wir gesehen haben, von diesen Leuten zu spielen, die so gut zu spielen. Especially hier, Kasach, von NBMI. Wir machen, dass er sich jetzt auf den Weg von einem anderen aussehen kann. Du kannst nicht split.

00:07:36 Und wenn du gespielt hast, du geteignet. Da war es nur ein Jumbo von einem Person. Aber Match 3 hier, aber Elonsi ist ein Spiel von Cybercats. Als wir gesehen haben in den letzten Matches oder Matchstates auch, haben sie auch fantastisch. Cybercats, besonders Ranches. Ein spezieller Person für mich, individuell, weil ich habe ihn für Jahre gespielt habe. Always showing up mit seinem PK und seinen Shots-On-Point. Wir sehen auch Empire Gaming, Arktik. Phänomenal Spieler, der hat eine Blum-Up in den letzten Jahren. Aber jetzt ist es ein Top-Player.

00:08:05 Ja, ich fühle mich immer ein bisschen eine persönliche Connection, Gracefall, wenn wir über EMEA sprechen sprechen. Du kennst diese Spieler auf ein völlig anderes Level. Aber als wir weiterentwickeln über den Tag, das eine Sache, die wir immer sprechen, als Casters, und wenn es um diese Dinge geht, und wie unsere Teams können gewinnen, ist es über die Konsistenz. Und wir haben ein paar verschiedene Winters über den Tag.

00:08:29 The only team that was able to do it multiple times was NBMI. And if we're talking about NBMI, they podiumed four out of the six matches on the day. They were in top ten, five out of the six. They really only had one bad game. So while it was SJP2 who were able to take home match number five, once again, as we close out the day, it was NBMI to get a little bit of a win their game with 10 KP to match.

00:08:58 was also the same amount of KP they had in their first win of the day and it all goes back to are you able to not only get those points that put you at match point but in the end clutch up a win and you can see the NVMI in 80 points had done that but we're looking at this top five and it's just it's impressive to see what these teams are able to do on match day three specifically a little bit of love going the way of NVMI

00:09:27 So now that we've got a little bit of a recap, though, what are these teams playing for, right? This is something that we talked about at the very beginning of the split and something we're going to keep talking about because it gets more and more important as all of these days go on. It's champs, okay? It is our champs check-in. Obviously, all of our teams are fighting to be playing on stage in Sapporo, Japan. And if we were to end it right now...

00:09:53 In this moment, this would be our top 40. We're obviously not there yet, Graceful, but you know a little bit about what this life is like having to play for those points. So talk to me about these champ standings.

00:10:04 Ich meine, es ist definitiv eine Sache, die wir nicht vergessen können, wenn wir über die Kompetitive Apex sprechen sprechen, die One und die True All, die True Being ist die Champs, die jeder ist für alle. Die Current Top 40 ist nicht das, was in der Ende enden wird. Als wir in die Teams gehen, die vielleicht smooth-sailingen direkt in die Champs sind, sind diese Teams. Never mind die Punkte, es ist etwas zu halten, aber zu machen es ein bisschen einfacher für euch zu verstehen ist, dass wir normalerweise schauen,

00:10:34 Wir müssen in dieser aktuellen Karriere, in Pro League, in Regional Finals, in LZQ. Diese Teams haben eine einfache Zeit, um es zu machen. Und wenn sie den gleichen Platz haben, oder gerade, werden sie es dort machen. Aber auf der anderen Seite des Smooth Sailing, hier haben wir ein paar Teams in den Roughwaters. Es gibt definitiv mehr Teams als diese, weil es aus allen Regionen gibt. Ein paar Teams, die unter 35 ist, würde ich sagen.

00:11:00 Ja.

00:11:26 Absolutely. And that's why, you know, we're going to be tracking that throughout the rest of Split 2, kind of keeping everybody on top of where all of these teams are shaking up. Because like you said, Graceville, you'd ideally like to go for the shortest and quickest path in the Champs, which is getting that win and solidifying it, not having to deal with those Champs points. But there's a big group of squads that are going to be crunching some numbers towards the end of this split. Now, we've done quite a lot of recapping here today so far, but we were talking about our storylines.

00:11:56 Okay, because we did say the theme was adapting to survive India. I know that you've been thinking about this a lot since last week. So tell me a little bit about the team that you feel like did just that.

00:12:09 Ja, und ein Team, ich sage, ihr könnt euch heute sehen, ist FaZe. FaZe ist ein bisschen weirder Name zu stellen, nicht weil sie nicht gut sind, sondern weil sie nicht gut sind, sondern weil sie nicht gut sind, sondern weil sie nicht gut sind. Sie haben 7.000 in den beiden Matchdayen, nur in den Top 10 geschehen. Aber das ist, dass sie in den Top 10 geschehen können, und tatsächlich in einem Spiel wie dieser, Match Nr. 1 auf World's Edge, während Day 3, Platz in Top 2.

00:12:37 als ein DÜO spricht zu einem unglaublichen Potenzial das Team hat, wenn sie ein Problem haben, um die Probleme zu lösen, um sie zu gehen. Denn wenn du Faze geteilt in Endgame sehen, sie sind wirklich gefährlich, ihre comms sind gut, ihre Adaptation sind gut. Und ich möchte mal schauen, wie das in-game ist.

00:13:00 Behind is like... I'm trying to be... Behind is so bad. Behind is like... I'm in ping. Get all the kills, guys. Pay me, pay me. Pay me, pay me. Yep. They're gonna queue out. They're gonna fucking fucking them. We need to... Throw barrel, throw barrel.

Team-Konsistenz und Strategie im Fokus der ALGS

00:13:31

00:13:31 Faves are one of the most consistent teams in the league. Right here we've got everybody from Group A and the way that they've placed and how well consistent it's been. Say for Alliance, match day number one, they place fifth. Their next match day, they place first.

00:13:59 Es ist eine kleine Differenz, und auch eine in ihrer Fähre. Faze, however, mirroring ihre Placements genau. Wir haben Teams wie ZipLy, Mafia, die auch sehr gut sind, sogar 2 Placements haben. Onnick und SJP2, die sind auf die Marken. Aber dann, auf die Gruppe B. Wir haben eine andere Team, die ich möchte, dass ich euch an. Weil ich mit Faze, wir müssen uns fragen, was Empires wird heute sein? 14 Placement Differenz in zwischen...

00:14:27 Their first and their second match date is a huge one, Glitter. And I'll be honest with you, I don't know what Empire is showing up today. I mean, sometimes we see a little bit of a yo-yo, but that is definitely a big yo-yo. I mean, and that's kind of the beauty of these splits, right? They get the first kind of round robin to figure things out. Maybe they do a little bit better. Now we're back at it again. You're in a lobby this time around.

00:14:54 Where you didn't do so well, are you able to kind of improve on that performance? I'm excited to see what they're able to do. But that's not the only team. Those are not the only teams we have participating here today. Like we've mentioned a couple times, it is Groups A and B ready to go here today. So we'll take a look at these squads because we have big names. You mentioned them yourself. We've got Alliance in here. We've got Phase Plan in here. 07 is in here. We've got a lot of squads that did well. Citadel Gaming did last time around, did well last time around. When these two groups faced off,

00:15:24 But another squad that I want to specifically talk about and highlight for just a second here is CyberCats. Okay, we see them. We've got Alonzi, Branches, and SS11, the newcomer in SS11. SS11, technically they all just debut in our match day one from coming up from that challenger circuit. But CyberCats specifically, the reason we were so impressed with them on that first day out of the gate was because of, yet again, their consistency. They were the team that placed outside of top four.

00:15:53 Only one time.

00:15:55 Out of 6 matches. That's an insane performance. It was all about their placements. And they did get some kills along the way. It wasn't like a crazy Slay heavy performance. But they still did well. And then on the polar opposite side things. We see that in match day 3. They were only in that top 4 one time. Out of the 6 matches. The biggest difference being. That World's Edge was added into the mix. And ended up being their worst map. Out of all of these 3. The question for me is. Once again. This is a little bit of Yoyo. Who are we getting this time around? Are we getting this match day 1 Cyber Cats?

00:16:24 Das kommt auf den Garten mit einem 1st-Place-Win und 2 Punkte über die Squad, das ich denke, mit 40 Kills in Citadel Gaming hat. Oder wir bekommen den Matchday 3 Cybercats, okay? Ich hoffe, es ist die former, weil sie so, so gut in Matchday 1 spielen. Aber in EMEA, das ist etwas, das hat mehr Math für Dia gemacht, weil ich weiß, du hast eine interessante Nummer-crunchie gemacht, Dia. Und du hast eine wirklich cool Stats über Eastern Europe gemacht.

00:16:53 Ja, ich werde das hier rausgehen. Das ist ein bisschen wunderschön, dass wir das hier aufhören. Aber ich war einfach nur auf die Top-Ten und dachte mir, was das in der Top-Ten ist, was das in der Top-Ten ist, was das in der Top-Ten ist, was das in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist, was in der Top-Ten ist

00:17:22 3% of all Eastern European players in the league are in top 10. And to throw the big number at you, 19 out of the 30 players in top 10, which is almost 66% of all players who are placing top 10 in EMEA right now are from Eastern Europe. I don't know what we're supposed to do with that information, but as soon as I found it, I was like, I gotta start telling people about this because somebody's gonna know what to do with this information. Somebody's gonna form a super team.

00:17:51 Oh, I see what you're doing here. You're starting to give the coaches and the analysts a little bit something to think about here heading throughout the rest of the play. We know how those roster changes work, okay? It's always a little bit crazy. I love it, Dia. I love it for the additional statistics here. So thank you so much for enlightening everybody a little bit. But we talked about a lot of teams so far here today. And before we get into our match day, you want to know how to watch all of it?

00:18:19 Obviously, we have a way to do that, whether it's everybody at home deciding you guys want to follow your favorite players or teams, or you want to also be following along with the main broadcast, even the map stream to see how these rotations are doing. You can do all of that here on FaceIt Watch. You can do it on mobile. You can collect your drops. There are so many cool things that you can do on FaceIt Watch, and it is the number one way to watch the ALGS your way. Go create account.

00:18:49 if you haven't done so already all you have to do is head on over to faceit.com forward slash watch and that way you can have it all right under your thumb ready to go the way you want to also if you guys haven't done so already we're going to keep reminding you make sure you're following us on social media that way if you ever miss a match day or you want to keep up with things outside of the algs we have exactly the way to do that whether that is twitch youtube

00:19:13 Our new TikTok and Insta, those are the big ones. Make sure you're checking those out, of course, or it is watching us live right now. As long as you're following along on any of our social medias, you won't miss a single second of our ALGS action. So hopefully you guys at home are ready to do that. And, you know, maybe there's some free stuff eventually on those. Just saying, just be on there. You won't miss it. All right, now.

00:19:39 Ready to get into match number one here in just a few minutes. Are you ready? Are you excited? Any expectations for the day now that we broke a lot of stuff down, but also literally it's the same group as that we saw match day one. I think to keep myself and the audience focused, I'm really looking at Faye. That's the team that I am going to be.

00:19:58 wirklich dialing in on in our first couple of matches, especially because we are going, for today, World's Edge and Stormpoint, two maps that I know that a lot of teams have experience on, but again, especially FaZe, thinking back to their days when they entered the scene as Made in Heaven, and it made a lot of changes since then, but World's Edge, Stormpoint should be really academically studied maps. Like you're talking about, there are so many teams that I think we could discuss today, Glitter, and...

00:20:26 It's up to those squads that we haven't yet spoken about in the pre-show to make their mark on today. Absolutely. And that's something we haven't even really highlighted yet, Graceful. While Match Day 4 out of 10 sounds relatively early, when we have these doubleheader weekends, we get through the split pretty quickly and the players and teams only have so much time to make those adaptations and kind of set themselves up well for success. And this is kind of the point where...

00:20:54 The middle of the season is where you have to start making that push. Oh, most definitely. When you're in the middle of the season now, like before the first couple of match days, you had your chance to warm up and fill out the lobby, essentially. Like, how do these groups play out specifically towards our teams? Their macro versus ours, and can we adapt? Now you're on round two again. Can we make those adaptations that we talked about earlier?

00:21:16 Can we make it happen, make a splash? Because if not, it's going to be do or die once again, and you never want to get to that scenario. You want to make sure you always stay consistent and at least get some points on the leaderboard. But it definitely goes to show to see if people can adapt, because not only will they have to adapt now of having past experience against each other, you know, next week it's going to be completely different. You know, we got future patches coming up as well, and we have so many things you have to adapt to, never mind the fact that people also change its comps.

00:21:42 Every now and then, you know, people learn from other regions. They saw, oh, ramp is a little bit more prevalent in NA. Maybe some teams on EU will start pulling that up ahead. And that will change things, how teams play up as well. And all of this ever-changing is what makes Apex so great. And seeing that every game is never the same always makes me happy. I'm just happy to see all the gameplay. Yeah, and I mean, Dio, you were, you know, talking about the teams that we didn't mention that need to step up to the plate. And one...

00:22:11 Factor of that, as well as kind of the alliance effect. You called out in those standings how they were able to put themselves back into a top spot, a little bit of a slower start and match day one. But those top teams in general in the regions, when they point sponge, it makes those opportunities for the teams in the middle, on the bubble, towards the bottom even harder. And they need to seize them when they can.

00:22:31 Das hat mir gesagt, wo ist meine staten? Wo ist meine staten? So, einfach mal, weil wir über Punkt Spongebung sprechen sind, um, in den letzten Splitt, in den letzten Splitt 1, 29% von all points waren bei den Top 5, mit 40% oder 45% von all points waren bei Top 10. Splitt 2, again, es ist nur 1st-Round-Robin, aber es ist worth noting...

00:22:54 dass 31%, so an increase of about 2% of our points, are held by our top 5. And 55%, an increase of 7% of points, are held by top 10. Which is, if you didn't want to keep track of all those numbers, just means that the League is a little bit more top-heavy right now than it was at the finish of Split 1. And I think it's a really interesting point that you make there, Glitter, about Alliance and their ability to do that. They're not the only ones that are, when winning, taking the lead and just snowballing it.

00:23:23 I think it'll be a really interesting day here today as we get our players loaded into the lobby here in just a few short minutes, folks. Thanks for hanging with us. But while we're waiting for the lobby to be ready to dive into, I mentioned it just a few minutes ago, our social media, specifically our two newest social medias, our Insta and our TikTok, they have been putting out some really fun content. If you haven't followed over there, you obviously should. But if you're wondering what I'm talking about with interesting content, let's take a quick look at what we've got.

00:23:51 Er ist Schrauben auf mich? 1 HP 1 HP 1 HP

00:24:03 Wir sind auf der Ruf!

00:24:30 Hey guys, 1! Komm, komm! Komm! Komm! Komm! Komm! Komm! Komm! Komm! Komm! Komm!

00:24:59 Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's!

00:25:27 Ich hab ihn mit! Ich hab ihn mit!

00:25:52 Gott! Let's go! Holy...

00:26:25 Ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin

00:27:04 Ja, ja, ja!

00:27:33 Ja!

Taktische Analysen und Spielverlauf in der ALGS Pro League

00:28:01

00:28:01 The start of the second round Robin graceful a lot is on the line here, especially as you've highlighted in our pre show the chance for making it to champs, especially got a tough first round Robin. I mean, this is the time that you need to pull it together and does feel so early in the season. We are going to be starting on world's edge. So what better place to start to pull your season together than the map that you are most familiar with. I'm just going to say if you've played apex legends for

00:28:30 Over two years, World's Edge is basically your house.

00:28:36 Ja, ich meine, definitiv. Die map, die alle lieben und lieben sind, wir hatten so viele Iterationen. Aber es ist auch eine der die meisten Teams, die die am meisten Confidenten sind. However, einige Teams waren auch ein bisschen in diesem Bereich, comparativ zu anderen Maps, wie E-District und Stormpoint. Will wir sehen die Showcase wieder, von Cybercats zu haben? Wir müssen sehen, weil wenn wir die PY-Draften sehen,

00:29:05 Cybercats in the middle by no name or village you can call it whatever you want to east side of even a frag as well where some teams that early rotate tend to struggle and sometimes the struggle isn't dependent on just being having bad coordination as a team

00:29:23 Because sometimes it just comes down to where the zone is at. Sometimes your team is just not going to play specific tones out the way they are. Or the way other teams are playing them affects you very heavily. So that you can perform as well as you are. This mainly affects center zone rotators very early. Because they are the ones who try to play the zone the same way. But if all the teams around them are starting to play differently. I think a good example actually is from America. People were talking about Falcons having rough start, correct? And the main reason was they played too aggressive.

00:29:53 und dann vielleicht zu defensiv für den zweiten Mal, weil die Lobby ist ever-changing. Teams sind immer adaptiert, Teams sind immer anders. Während wir die gleiche Macro haben, dass diese Zone jetzt auf die Zentren Seite der Map ist, könnte man sehr anders spielen. Nicht nur auf welchen Comp sie spielen, weil die Map ist, wenn die Map ist, durch die Map-Rotation und also Legend-Bans. Alles ist immer anders.

00:30:18 Ja, und eine von den Teamsen, die wir in den Starten haben, ist, dass sie ihre Calm in der Störung in dieser constantly-changingen Meta-Pix-Phase werden. Und sie werden hier in Stacks beginnen.

00:30:33 with Newcastle, Alter, and Caustic. A composition that should give them a lot of staying power if they are able to get into zone early. And this is where I want to start thinking about who's actually got the capability to do that as well because FaZe, they did end up getting a ring console early on. A team like Nom out of Big Mod, however, did not get nearly that lucky and are going to have to guess a little bit more as to where the zone is since they don't have easy access to this kind of information.

00:31:01 Ja, definitiv. A lot of these teams will be trying to opt to see where the zone is. If they don't have any knowledge, they will play it a little bit slower. Play for mid-speed is what I like to call it. However, with this zone specifically, even on Circle 1 without Zone 2 knowledge, a lot of these teams have several spots that are very adaptable. You don't want to lock yourself into an all-in, because if you lock yourself into Lava Siphon, if it pulls up, like it potentially does here towards Frag Monument, well, now you're stuck in chokes. So you want to make sure you have these rotational...

00:31:30 Positionings. As we also see Zane playing on top of the building with the charge travel. Very impressive weapon for the moment. Hits very hard. Actually one shots white armor in the head. 86 right there for the big crack. I think that teams are looking likely to just stack up, rotate early, but never full commit for the moment. Because like you said, when you're playing Alter...

00:31:49 Are you really logged into a location? You can go through everything. I want to throw out there really quickly that this was a big kill against SPS. We'll take a moment, see what Take Flight are able to do. Again, this is one of our teams that is rotated early into what they believe to be center zone. Looking for the abduct, Take Flight are not going to find it. But we got to talk about this kill that FaZe managed to find because against SPS, remember SPS landing over at Dome, do not have a...

00:32:19 A Ring Console. So, now not only have they lost one, they still don't know where the Ring is going and their Macro is going to be thrown completely out of whack. This is what you talked about at the start of the game, Graceful. Sometimes things just don't favor you, and in this particular case, may not be favoring 07 as Legion have taken the lead in the fight up against them, backing off real quickly. Legion will be moving into Harvester using the Void Nexus.

00:32:46 Das Charge-Rifle ist ein bisschen mehr Topsy-Turvy.

00:33:04 One of the players from Legion Gaming, like you said, Zampes, one of the players I've been looking at individually, very happy to see him, but not the results that we wanted to see early into the game 1. 07 holding their slot in that choke very well, as SCP-2 currently looking to poke a little bit. And this zone is what I was talking about as well, the zone ends up pulling towards Monuments item frag, a little bit further up even potentially, against Icicles, maybe the hill on this northeast side even.

00:33:30 Wenn du hast Zones wie diese, du musst nicht vollkommen mit dem Soutern, wie wir sehen in Empire Gaming, Faceland. SPS, wie du schon gesagt hast, spielt Edge. Sie können nicht RingCon, Sie können nur Reset sein. Aber auf Edge lurkst andere Strong Teams, die Likes von Allianz neben ihnen. 07, however, ist es in der Mitte der Welt, um zu versuchen, als andere Teams zu versuchen, als andere Teams zu versuchen, um in der Mitte zu verlassen. Weil, wie ich gesagt habe, die Meta verändert hat viel über die Jahre, während jetzt, die Leute tenden zu spielen weniger Hardcore early und weniger Hardcore.

00:33:59 Ja.

00:34:21 Really notably, places like Landslide, Staging, Overlook, all give you the opportunity to get Ring 3 information and are pretty isolated. So while 07 aren't going to be able to do that, as they've been running into team after team after team, teams like Empire, who are rotating around the edge of the map, teams like Alliance, who are rotating around the edge of the map, will have the opportunity to pick up Ring 3 information at some of those POIs. You could even go stacks if Alliance choose to continue playing this far south. Yeah, most definitely. 07 still struggling.

00:34:50 in between all these teams trying to make it happen as they're slowly getting collapsed or I would say surrounded by several teams trying to play the same.

00:34:57 Ich weiß, dass er nur eine kleine Menge aufbauen ist.

00:35:26 Das ist so, so magical. Und Doors landing underneath the building, 1 HP. There are already two floors into the building. That is the real power of Alterin.

00:35:45 Taking a look at this next ring, notice that Empire Gaming actually got the advance read at Landslide, like we were talking about. Alliance have managed to hit the ring console down at Tree. So they will be some of the only teams, I think FaZe Clan are going to be able to get this information as well, to know that the ring is pulling outside of Monument in the next zone, and actually a little bit more up onto this hillside, the train tracks to the south.

00:36:10 Yeah, the southwest side on that hill is actually so many good power spots. You can have a team playing outside north of the tunnel. You're going to have a team playing pretty much inside the tunnel, which will be Empire Gaming. But they want to deny that truck that's southwest of the zone right now, where that Evo Harvester is. Right there, you see where the zone is? You see that Evo Harvester? That's going to be a big, big power spot that you're going to be able to fight for. Alliance most likely going to be playing Choke, potentially walk into that zone earlier. But this is all about timing. If Empire gets engaged...

00:36:40 from the northern side of a team playing wanting to come from the northern side.

00:36:43 Das ist ein easy accesses 3P von der Team von der Van. Aber wenn die Van von der E-Side ist, oder sogar von der E-Side, oder sogar von der E-Side ist, dann wird es für Empire Gaming ein 3P-Van. Das ist also interessant und das ist das, was ich liebe Late-Games und wir alle gerne sehen, wie viele Teams alive in Endgame wie möglich, weil das micro, das Split-Second Decision-Making, das micro-movements ist so crucial in Late-Game, wo es early auf geht, dass wir also 20 Teams alive, 60 Players upstehen.

00:37:12 Und das ist so viel Spaß.

00:37:41 Das ist die ganze Sache, dass man eine Spitz-Decision hat.

00:37:46 dass Hakkis definitiv macht. Er sagt, wir sind Pinch, wir können nicht versuchen, denn dann werden wir Pinch von FaZe nicht wissen. Aber sie werden Pinch von den Team geimpft. Es ist besser, dass sie einen Pinch von den Team geimpft haben und dann vielleicht ein 3v3 zu nehmen, um die Team zu halten, wird von den anderen Seite geimpft werden, das ist mehr als möglich. O7 vielleicht spielen in der Choke, aber sie wissen nicht, dass sie Split holen die Chokes. Aber wenn sie von der E-Side-Choke sind, das öffnet sich für die Allianz oder FaZe, die gewinnen ist. Looks wie FaZe hat die erste Down.

00:38:15 Ich weiß, dass sie das Spiel nicht gut sind. Die Team sind in den 3-P, das ist sehr, sehr gut für sie. Es tut mir, was Faze's plan ist hier. Weil sie sind auf der Seite der Ring auf der Seite schauen, muss sie wissen, dass ihre Planung ist, auch bei Linesen. Also, wir sehen uns mit Faze und sehen, wie sie das Konundrum sind.

00:38:38 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

00:38:54 Ja, ja, ja.

00:39:21 We can get shot in the back really easily. That's what I'm saying. Set up. I'm gonna set up. It's okay. Kill on us. Kill on us. Kill on us. Okay. They're right here. You need to place barrels here. I'm trying. I'm just setting up everything right now. Making sure we don't die. Right here. On the bridge. Okay, just chill. Don't get fucked. Don't get fucked. Because they're gonna die, bro. Like, let's just not... Nave him. Nave him. Nave him. On the height. I'm scouting him.

00:39:48 Huge macro from FaZe, as SPS comes through the S-choke, making Alliance take their attention towards them instead, as FaZe moved up the choke, currently trying to hold up Alliance. Humongous play right there from the cult. Even though, you know, you heard a little bit of uncertainty as, yeah, I mean, I guess we'll try. It turned out perfectly, as now it comes down to a 3v3. All they're getting pushed is that they're not going to get thirded, but they are getting pushed as Haki's and Effect right now, doing tons of damage, walking up, taking space together right there.

00:40:17 Du denkst, wo ist SPS? Wo ist, wo ist, wo sind unsere Seggers? Weil Allianz ist schockiert Faze aus jetzt. Aber 2 go down. Und wir haben eine 3rd Party. Von der Back 07. Applied Pressure zu der Fight. Und sie hat Faze Reset. Das Spiel ist verrückt, dass Faze alive ist. Sie haben fast komplett verloren. Aber jetzt 07, sie versuchen zu nehmen Allianz.

00:40:40 Aping Alliance here could be good for the KP, but they might get 30 immediately by Facetent if they are ready and awake. Alliance trying to survive or tunnel here in the corner. Hey, please, let us lick our wounds and reset a little bit as 07 currently gets down, trying to open Nexus back. Doesn't do it. Adam goes down. It's down to Kashira and Natsuki trying to make it out there. Opting to go through the Eastern choke. There's no way they have enough time to do that. It's gonna be a Fiesta in this choke.

00:41:05 The Zone is closing, and FaZe, just like you talked about, do end up coming in for the third party. We should be saying goodbye to Alliance here as one nicely placed shot takes out the last member, Hakkis, and puts FaZe as the last team left in this choke. 07 still having to rotate through. SPS going to go down. Those are our first two squads eliminated. Alliance and then SPS go down, and it is as our third round closes. We will say goodbye to Legion Gaming on the way. U-Aim don't seem to be making it too far either.

00:41:35 Not only the squads from the south, but every single squad from the eastern side of Zone is sprinting to get into what little space you can play. FUL seem to have found a little bit of space right on this ridge line, but Killer Whales, they don't get so lucky. I mean, 20 Team Circle 3 closing into 15 now for Circle 4 is nice gameplay. I wish we could catch all the action, but it's so hard when you have these choke points, when you have these...

00:41:59 Es gibt noch ein paar Teams in der anderen Seite. Es ist nicht möglich, aber Cybercats sind in der Bühne, sehr froh für den Moment, aber sie werden in nur einen Moment gehen, mit ein paar Teams in fronten. Es wird noch ein weiterer Collapse von der North-East-Side, als Fasepat, als auch, was Chilly in der Sunderne Choke, als Empyre. Remember, wenn ich über das Highgrund und das Van gesprochen habe? Empyre ist currently in der nächsten Zone, ganz gut. Sie haben 50% von der Zone, wenn sie auf den Weg gehen.

00:42:28 Die sind in einem Phänomenal spot, wie wir hier sehen. Phänomenal spot, wenn sie das Raum halten können. Weil Faceland hat sie ihre Backen, alle anderen haben sie ihre Backen von den resten. Es gibt vier Teams, zwei von ihnen zu halten, fünf Teams als eine Team ist.

00:42:48 SJP2 hat die Zip-Line-Mafia ausgedrückt, aber wie gesagt, diese Position von Empire muss sein, die Stadt zu sein. Kraber in Godspot? Was noch mehr können Sie für? SJP2! Sie können natürlich ein bisschen das Glück nehmen, mit Kearney bereits aufgedrückt.

00:43:06 SJP2 und Evos, beide in diesem Gebäude, haben eine lange und schreckliche Weg zu gehen, um in der nächsten Rink zu gehen. Citadel sitzt in fronte von ihnen, und das ist nicht ein Team, das zu geben, das ist nicht ein Team, das zu geben, sehr schnell. Schuss von Densei, nicht macht eine große Unterschiede in der Position gerade. No Shieldcrack.

00:43:25 Das heißt, es gibt keine Kampf-Pushen. Und Kyler sitzt hier in der Gas, wartet, als die Zone, inevitably, die S.J.P. 2, was ich denke, wird wohl ihre Demise sein. Empire holding Godspot, doch. Das ist die Team. Das ist ihre Spiel zu verlieren. Und wir sehen, wie sie nachdem, die nächsten paar Minuten nachzudenken. Faze, der Rotation aus der Brücke, ist gut gelegt. Great Wall, als auch. Keeps sie safe in die Arcstar. Nam, goodbye. Take a flight, goodbye.

00:43:53 This is very scary though, as FaZe is on their bridge, couldn't get shot from two teams. However, Empire actually helps them, shooting at the team on the opposite side of FaZe. Other teams are playing on the bridge right now, walking in with this zone collapsing right now. Zone 5 about to get revealed, as we know where the zone will be moving, top left, well, western side of this ring. That's Arctic right now, with the Kraber PK looking to take FaZe out. You get one shot like that, and FaZe pulled the Uno reverse card. I don't think it's going the way they want it to, however, as now there are so many sidelines on FaZe. Lift it!

00:44:22 Actually loses the 1v1 gegen Zayn, giving FaZe a second chance at life. Empire have two Embers on half HP. First Peacekeeper Shock connects, and FaZe do go down in ninth place overall. Empire now have to hit an emergency reset. Nobody seems to be pushing them, however. Cyberkats and FUL are fighting, and as FaZe Clan just expired, it seems like nobody has pushed up onto Empire using that time.

00:44:46 Very lucky for Empire that the five Cybercats as well was fighting on that bridge in the lava side, making sure they could get that full reset as right now, 07 gets eliminated. Evos however, in the air, in the sky right now, just shooting down bullets at everybody. Nades right here with the barrels as well, making sure that the team underneath Citadel Gaming cannot relax at all. Anak do fall and Citadel forced out by Nades.

00:45:13 Now use the Alderports to get a little bit closer to the zone, a little bit closer to Evos. This fight is going to break out in a real way very soon. A couple nice shots from Empire. Just keep an FUL honest. Empire controls so much space. Look at the top left.

00:45:30 Das ist ein Spiel für Empire. Und Teams wie F.U.L. und Passion, auf der Eastern-Side, sind die VIEING zu nehmen.

00:45:50 Passion here needs to make a play in Empire. If they fight this fight, and they can 3P, make sure they stay alive, and then get to fight for the southern side of things, they could win this game. However, everybody's trying to make the same play. Empire just making sure that they're denying space right now, as Evos and Citadel Gaming on the northern side are also engaging in a fight right now. Everybody is fighting right now. Empire, however, super safe, making sure to control space rather than full commit to a fight, pushing everybody else into each other to make sure they can close this game out, and it's looking very likely.

00:46:19 Oh, es ist ein nice Kraber zu helfen, die Passion zu helfen. Cyberkatz ist auch, und Empire mit einem Schuss leften in der Kraber für Arktik haben einen Team leften, es ist Empire und Evos. Empire haben hier sitzen, für...

00:46:33 So long, but Evos have climbed their way up the hill, taken out Citadel, but with MG clutched down. What can they do? Empire look for the finish in through the altar port and out the other side. We are looking for Peacekeeper shots and a quick finish. Another member of Evos falls, but Liffin gets traded out. Just Nate behind this knockdown shield and a nice knock back to help Empire close out their kingdom up here on the hill. Empire coming from landslide into tunnel.

00:47:03 Das war das Wann-Power-Spot, was wir überhin gesagt haben. Manage your hold-off, take your fight against Phaseclad. Hold-off and get the reset. Was ein bisschen luckier from the teams in the Lava. However, making sure that every other team that has to walk in with the Collapse of the Ring to fight each other by pushing them out, also with the power of Kraber. Huge, nice shots as well by Arctic right there. Closing out the game with so much KP. I didn't even see how many KP they had, but they had plenty of KP.

00:47:29 I mean, it's literally almost a perfect game from Empire, with how, like you talked about, they were able to play mid-speed so well, moving into Landslide that did have one of the few places where they could hit the Ring Console, and then using that Ring Console information to get themselves Godspot, play the Godspot with so much space, I mean...

00:47:51 The 11 killpoints that they got this game doesn't even begin to describe how impressive this game was from Empire. But it's worth noting, Evos clawed their way up there with several KP as well and were not nearly as, I'll say, well positioned from the mid-game. Evos had to get out of Monument and play Priority on the Hill in a way that challenged them.

00:48:17 Very differently from Empire Empire had a game they had to control Evos had to find a game to play and they managed to make it all the way to second

00:48:24 Es ging wirklich gut. Wir sahen aus dem Map, dass Evos die Norden des Collabs war, wo sie einfach nur geshaut haben, wo sie alle von absolutem Hype geshaut haben. Wo Empire, wo sie noch ein bisschen umgekehrt haben, weil die Team Collabs sind aus dem Souten so speziell. Wo wir sahen all die Action, wo Alliaths wurde von 07 geshaut, wo dann alle anderen gehalten wurden. Es ist so viel Action bei der gleichen Zeit. Aber wenn du, wie ich gesagt habe, die Power Spots verstehen, was du...

00:48:50 was your goal of the match is. It's not just to get kills, but make sure that, hey, we need to hold our space. They even played, like, I think in Circle 3, 4, they played like 80% of the zone currently. One guy was up on the train rail, one guy was far almost in the choke, and they're just denying everybody space. When you can do that consistently, put yourself in these power spots, games will open up for you, and even just getting close to 20 and even over 20 points, you're gonna feel really good about that, because now you have room for errors if you need it, but with this consistency, they could just...

00:49:19 Blast everybody straight out of it. Yeah, I mean, I had a blast watching that game. If you're interested in how they played that, go ahead and check out Face It Watch. It's a great place to go during the quick break we take between match one and match two. Competition. Greatness. For some, it is the reason we forge rivalries. Drive to be the best. Others, mate? We're just here to have a bloody good time. Three times, but we're still in.

00:52:39 I mean, the biggest thing is that all the spots, especially chokes in general, right? Chokes could be...

00:53:07 Es ist auch sehr gut, und es kann auch sehr gefährlich sein. Es ist alles über die Timing. Wenn du zu früh bist, dann wird es von zwei Seiten geholfen. Wenn du einen Seite ausgeholt hast, ist es sogar besser. Aber als ich gesagt habe, war es sehr schwer für ihn zu halten, aber die Team mit dem Team zu halten, was Empire. Game 1, Match 1, Winner, 11 Kills. Damage, in meiner Meinung nach, ist es ein bisschen schwer zu sagen. Man kann sagen, wenn du nicht 70k damage hast, ist es nicht viel zu sagen, aber wenn du das pote Damage hast, in meiner Meinung nach, ist es nicht viel zu sagen.

00:53:35 Als wir auch wissen und alle sehen können, Kostik ist jetzt ein Bann. Das alles, was alle erwarten. Mit dem Powerhouse er jetzt ist er. Er hat mich an den alten Zeiten von Kostik. Er ist sehr gefährlich, aber ich liebe es. Ich liebe es auch, dass Diaz diese Story-Line auch, wenn er spricht, über die Empire wir werden heute bekommen. Ist es das, was wir sehen, an Day 1 haben wir 17?

00:54:04 or one that was able to really kind of bring it and set themselves up well for success. And I think they did exactly that in match number one. 95, was it? 19 of our teams? Yeah, 95%. 19 of our teams took Caustic. He is now no longer in the running as an option as we continue on with our next World's Edge match. So, what does that mean for our teams here, Graceful? What can we expect to see them pick up?

00:54:33 I mean, we're going to see the same role, essentially, just get swapped out to another controller for another controller. Kosik gets moved out as Watson gets moved in. All of these teams, well, not all, but very many teams are now opting for Watson instead. This is something that might add more defensive capabilities due to her ult and, you know, fence lines, essentially, especially now with the electrified door as well. It's very scary if you are in an area where you can hold that. However, not the same offensive capabilities as Kosik is so oppressive offensive.

00:55:03 But Watson is something that a lot of... You don't really have to swap. Like, the person playing Controller doesn't really have to swap up too much. You still have the same duty, so to say. Denial of space and trying to take space as much as we can and holding our spot. So people will offer something a little bit more comfortable. We haven't seen any rap so far. But we have seen a lifeline, actually.

00:55:27 Evos haben sich in ein bisschen zu knacken, bereits zu verlieren CJ. Und sie waren unsere Team, die einfach in 2nd place kam nach Nr. 1. So das ist nicht wo sie wollen. Sie müssen uns in Alternatoren sehen, was sie können mit dem, als CJ hält die Tür. Aber das ist weniger als ideal für Evos.

00:55:48 Und jetzt ist er so viel zu tun. Und jetzt geht es um den Elektrified Door. MGKlutsch wird raus, um sich zu machen, dass das Spiel nicht ein Doughnut ist. Doughnut A.K.A. Zero Points ist etwas, was man will, an all costs. Aber Wadson sieht ein bisschen von Niche Techniken, das ist sehr schön zu sehen. Aber zwei Kills für Sip ist sehr... Sie werden mit dem Glück sein.

00:56:13 Yeah, they did not co-exist well in Skyhook, so Zipline Mafia coming out on top, like you said, as MG Clutch is able to get away and we get to take a look here at the circle back towards Monument Fragment over here. Probably feeling real good as they start to make an early move through that choke. A lot of these, yeah, I mean Empire is going to be happy. They probably, nobody...

00:56:39 ...who has the next zone knowledge is going to opt that it's going to be the exact same zone. However, some teams should be playing up, like if you look at Take Flight as an example, a spot to where if it goes either way, we're still fine. People are opting to move in a little bit deeper this time rather than last game. 07, as we can see on the map as well, moving a little bit more towards the northern side to see if they have a playable area right there. All of these teams are just making sure to say, hey, we're not locked in. We want to be able to fight for something. And it's looking really promising so far because, sure...

00:57:05 The Zone A is around Modiment, as I said, I don't like repetitive songs too much, but this should play out a little bit differently, which I'm fine at.

00:57:34 Trying to do some shots here with the 30-30. And this is just a bit of poke damage, but everyone is feeling a little spicy today, Graceful.

00:57:41 Ich meine, Spice, wir sagen Spice, aber es gibt noch 20 Teams, aber es gibt noch immer noch 20 Teams, aber es gibt noch immer noch ein paar Mal. Wir wollen hier durch, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier, wir wollen hier,

00:58:10 Beamsi hier mit der PK, um es zu nehmen, als wir ein 3-2-3 in diesem kleinen Dorito-Bilding nehmen.

00:58:16 Enjoy it while it lasts trying to line up a shot there on blasts able to connect on the third one Has that additional shields helping them give a little bit of cover, but this is they are squished inside this building They end up getting pushed to her down. It's all down to Kuro with the PK to try and stay alive And this is not looking good killer whales eliminated at the same time if you L is eliminated

00:58:42 Das war eine große 3-3-3-3, glaube ich.

Strategische Zonenpositionierung und Teamkämpfe

00:59:04

00:59:04 Not in the northern side of this zone, potentially. It's gonna be really hard to rotate past these teams because the southern side has a lot more pathways to make it towards the van side. This side up this hill is almost impossible because look at the screen right now. There's pretty much six playable areas where teams will hold you up if the zone pulls in that direction. You don't want to get held out by six teams.

00:59:28 Getting to see Empire trying to hold the tunnel right now. They know that there's at least one team over there. That team is going to be Legion Gaming hanging out in the outskirts of Landslide. They'll probably opt to wrap around rather than try to push through that as Empire are setting up in the exact same spot here, Graceful. But like you said, they should know to shift a little bit farther north this time around.

00:59:49 Same macro, I like the consistency. They have the same macro for the zone, regardless of where it is. If it's in Monument Area, we're doing the same thing. We're hitting our info, maybe in Landslide, maybe they'll hit the next one in Landslide, even, because that's what they did last game. They're looking, and you actually see Legion Gaming in Landslide right now, and they're just like, hey, same macro, same idea, depending on where it pulls, we shift it then, but the early macro, the zone 1 to zone 2, they're gonna play the same way. I like that. Like we talked about earlier in the pre-show, consistency, and that's how you build consistency.

01:00:17 Jenny was not cooperating with Zayn right there. Could not find a spot to put that down. As they are finding themselves in a back and forth here now with Roadhouse. Some poke damage coming out on behalf of Zayn. Giving them an opportunity to maybe make a push in. As Synetic does get knocked though. This is a tough spot between these two rocks. Because they're also going to be drawing some attention. Potentially from Empire. And Faze is decimated instantly as soon as they're on the open.

01:00:44 Ich muss sagen, dass du nicht in der Engagement eingestellt war, dass sie die Jumpe auf sie haben, und dann hat sie zwei Schäuze auf Peter gespielt. Das ist etwas, was du wirklich kannst. Du kannst niemanden aus, weil zwei Schäuze auf die Peter ist alles, wenn du in der Blue Armour bist. Und jetzt, Allianz, in der Center, in der Arbeit, in der Harvest, zu sehen, ob sie können, wie immer, die Frontline, auch immer, auf die Charakter wie Botzen, um zu sagen, hey, ihr seid nicht zu tun.

01:01:12 Unless without fighting. Yeah, SPS get out of there very quickly. Not wanting to have that fight. There's only a duo, I believe, right now on SPS up against Alliance. Oh, no, there's all three. There's all three. They're just going to go for a wider wrap towards that eastern side as Alliance then open up a little bit of space themselves to head through that harvester choke with not too many teams ahead of them that they'll be able to deal with. But like you said, you can see.

01:01:39 just how many teams are starting to stack on top of each other and two of those teams that were in our top four from match number one graceful you've got cyber cats in the next ring they were uh in a tie they were in fourth place as well as passion was in third and you find them right on that northern edge outside of citadel gaming so our top four right now are actually all looking pretty comfortable here in match number two

01:02:01 Not only that, but Evos is back to a trio. They're getting the next zone knowledge right now as we speak. Empire have the same macro. Alliance doing the same macro as last game as well, trying to make it through the choke. Will we see a clash there? Because you want to make sure that you can hold that. That big Godrock is still in on the southwest side of things. Most likely where Empire is going to be stationary up. But the zone should not be pulling towards them too much. So all the other teams are opting for, hey, this zone might be pulling a little bit differently. Well, way differently. And now that it pulls differently, people are opting for buildings more so than anything.

01:02:30 Also, mit dem Fakt, dass Caustic ist weg, Teams haben eine schwierige Zeit zu brechen, das macht es zu Beginn zu stärken. Denn jetzt hast du Wax und Shore, aber wenn du nicht das Caustic-Explosen-Ness von Aggression hast, Teams können reliably halten ihre Spots viel einfacher. So jetzt sind die Builder ein viel saferer.

01:02:50 Speaking of Cybercats, too. Inside one of their safe buildings. Seeing if they can maybe break those doors with that frag. Able to do that. Does it open up a sight line? Not just yet, but they're at least comfortable here and they know that they've got SJP2 in the area that they'll be keeping their eyes on. They have a relatively open east side of this zone as well, so they can really hold this.

01:03:11 für eine gute Zeit und vielleicht warten auf die anderen Quadsen, die sich in den nächsten Circles zu tun haben. Die Allianz, im Moment, haben sich in dieser Schöne zu spielen. Ich bin nicht 100% sicher, ob es jemanden behind dem, dass sie sich nicht mehr zu beschäftigen haben, aber ich meine, nach dem SPS haben, sie sieht gut aus.

01:03:29 This is the thing though, is that Alliance is doing something that I really, really recommend everybody looking at home. If you play in your rank games, this is what we call holding out your backs. You need to make sure that before you make a play for a team that's in the front, you hold out your backs so you don't get 30. Because even Zone 3, like round 2 close and when it's fully closed, people can still late rotate into your backs very late. And that's something that you have to be, like you have to account for that as you're taking fights as well. Now, however, Alliance is going to be in a pinch potentially between SPS that they were fighting earlier and Empire.

01:03:59 All of these teams might collapse in Shatter for the southern side of the Zone, with the Zone closing in shortly.

01:04:08 They know that Empire Gaming is there, but I don't think they realize just how spread out Empire Gaming is, so they're playing this a little bit safer from this choke right now. If they do opt to wrap around, like you said, they could potentially run into SPS, but it's not really a reason for them to 100% do that yet, so we'll have to see what they decide. Meanwhile, Legion Gaming have moved in right next to 07, able to snatch away a little bit of this bottom floor from them.

Teamdynamiken und strategische Entscheidungen im späteren Spielverlauf

01:04:37

01:04:37 Das ist die Sache, wie ich gesagt, mit dem Gebäden, wenn man vollkommit zu etwas ist, wird es schwierig sein, weil jetzt, wenn man jetzt, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, weil jetzt, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, weil jetzt, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, weil jetzt, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat, wenn man es nicht so schwer hat.

01:05:02 Onyx, Citadel, Endorz, und sogar Passion and Sipan Mafia außerhalb der Zone. All diese Teams haben zu kämpfen ihren Weg in. Es wird wirklich schwer sein. Aber auf der anderen Seite ist es, Allianz zu zeigen ihren Tiefen gegen Empire Gaming. Ich glaube, Haukken hat auch SPS gesagt, hey, wenn wir fighten, wir werden thirden. Wir müssen alle in auf ihre Location sein, also es dauert weiter für die anderen Team zu engagieren. Oder wir müssen warten und machen ein anderes Spiel, damit wir nicht geimpft werden. Speaking of pinched, Legion Gaming in eine Fight.

01:05:32 Ich kann sehen, ob sie eine Möglichkeit haben, wenn sie eine Bühne haben, um eine Bühne zu gewinnen, um eine Bühne zu gewinnen. Weil wenn es zu viele Teams gibt, und eine Bühne ist, dass ein Bühne ist, dass ein Bühne ist und ein Bühne ist. Und wenn man diese Bühne auf dem Bühne ist, vielleicht 5-Bühne ist.

01:05:50 Nasky's getting scooped there as he is down for 07 as Kacherra is going to see if they can maybe get him back up and into the game with them as they've got a squad right outside. Legion Gaming looking to see if they can push him now on the injured 07. Adam without Shields having to dip outside the building to see if he can maybe survive just a little bit longer while Kacherra is trying to hold things down. This is going to definitely draw some attention their way as well.

01:06:17 Keep putting these fences up, throw the Jenny down and see if they can hopefully survive. Nasky alive, back in the game, able to get a reset. And no one of these teams pushing too hard for this fight.

01:06:30 Ich meine, Legion Gaming sind ein bisschen scared. Sie wussten, es war ein 3v2 und nicht für den Kampf. Aber sie sind für den 3v3 jetzt. Und sie sind sofort geimpft und geimpft. Das ist etwas, was ich sehr, sehr, sehr... Ich liebe es, in general. Wenn du willst, dann kämpft. Nicht zu viel Zeit. Denn die länger du waitst, die größer you werden. Und sie sind sofort geimpft. Und sie sind sofort geimpft. Und sie sind sofort geimpft. Und jetzt, die 3v2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-

01:06:59 We see that time and time again. Any indecision just a second too long can always turn the tides of this game as we get a chance to look now at this top-down. Alliance still on that southern side. They were able to hang out long enough for Hackers to get the info on the next ring, so they played that very well, pushed their way through the choke, didn't have to worry about Empire Gaming like we were saying, and now they have all the information at their disposal knowing how they can play the southern side of this circle as we see another shift.

01:07:27 See, just how fortuitous this is really for you, Aim.

01:07:33 I mean, that building is something to be happy about. However, a lot of teams are going to opt to fight for the same area. Even under the bridge on the southeast, it's not really in just yet. But you can play the, how should I say it, courtyard maybe, outside of you Ames building. A lot of teams opt to play for those corners. There's two corners you can potentially set up and play around. And people are definitely going to opt for that. However, you Ames has to make sure to deny other teams trying to play their spot. And even potentially get some more KP. So things are looking good for them. On the other side of things, Roadhouse on the west side there, Empire Road.

01:08:02 Routing underneath them under the bridge right now opting to do the same thing as several teams are gonna have to fight now with this zone closing potentially and people are already opting to scout. As right here Shex and Ekio feeling a little bit comfy right there in the lava. Right on the corner of the circle as well so they can kind of hide there for a bit. 07 cannot catch a break. They're constantly back and forth with Legion right now having to stick a res here. Get Keshera back up.

01:08:31 as they have yet to find a safe way out. Evos eliminated in the killfeed while all of this is happening, unable to move in and find any sort of safe real estate. Will this Kraber be able to do anything 407 to get them out? Because now Endorse have moved into this fight as well.

01:08:48 Ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin

01:09:17 He and Mei were still up looking to secure a spot. They do here with the Waxing Q and they can even get this reset. Looking good for them actually after having a quiet... They've had some few quiet weeks leading up to this, match days leading up to this, but now this is the start of a good thing. Legion Gaming also went down in all of that collapsing chaos as Nam was able to do poke damage on everyone coming from that northwest corner.

01:09:42 They do have Onik in the general vicinity, but now we're going to take a look at Cybercats who have been holding strong. They've got SJP2 above them, but they do hold the low ground right now as they're able to kind of wait and see. U-Aim have been moved in on by SPS, who had survived and wrapped a little bit farther east after dipping away from Alliance at Harvester. And now SPS actually find themselves in one of the best positions.

01:10:08 Ja, ich meine, U-Aim war in dieses Buildings für ein lange Zeit, aber sie haben sich jetzt nicht die Bottom-Floor, das ist komplett gut. Als sie nicht, wenn sie nicht, wie, um, dann durch die Winde, das wird öffnen, um, für eine Potenziale Play, you know, wenn wir Ultra haben, das ist die Scary Part. Das ist die Scary Nature of Ultra, really, ist, wenn du da, regardless of wo du in der Building bist, ein Team kann einfach durch und dann treten you. Aber wir sahen Cybercaps, in der Train Station, in der Train Station, die jetzt in der Building, jetzt in der Train Station, jetzt in der Building, underneath SCP-2.

01:10:34 Empire Gaming

01:11:01 Und jetzt schauen wir in mit SJB2.

01:11:31 I mean, look at this lava. There's two teams down here right now, terrifying. However, Alliance on that train, on the train right now, essentially. The broken one, southern side, holding it down. Edge, like, the only scary part right here is you aim for them, and they're finally getting shot a little bit, but they have the blue boxes right there. They're gonna be the first team to move out in the courtyard underneath you aim. However, Cybercats down to a rat, I believe, is trying to survive in that...

Finale Kämpfe und Strategien für den Sieg

01:11:56

01:11:56 Wir werden sehen, dass sie ein Reset haben. Sie hat einen Reset bekommen und das ist großartig für sie. Empyre Gaming und Rohdehust, die auch Lava sind, als sie auch noch getötet haben. Hakkis ist zu tief, wird es daunen von Empyre. Er wird es vielleicht wieder zurück, oder wird er gefeiert? Ich weiß nicht.

01:12:25 Trying to survive down on that lava. They're not safe either. They're eventually going to have to move out of there, and how they decide to do that will be interesting in how many teams are looking down on them. Empire finally eliminated, and Alliance move in to take Roadhouse out early. Alliance looking to take the 303 in the lava right now. However, they cannot forget that SCP-2 is also in the lava right now. And he immediately returns fire on Densei. Densei gets down actually by effect.

01:12:48 Jetzt ist es ein 3v2 in der Lava. Wenn sie die Wippe aus der SCP-2 sind, dann wird sie in der Lava sein. Aber Passion sagt, dass sie nicht in der Lava sind. Während sie für den Kordjord sind, werden wir in der Lava sein und sehen, dass sie die Wippe aus der SCP-2 sind. Und es sieht aus wie das, als Alliance die Wippe aus der Lava in der Lava sind. Wenn Passion gettet wird, wenn sie die Wippe aus der Lava gewinnen, dann könnte es komplett falsch sein.

01:13:10 Cybercats were not able to make their way out of the building safely. Passion are looking down at SJP2 as Alliance trying to scooch their way in from that lava side. The two on SJP2 trying to hide in the corner, but everybody knows where they are. These angles from Alliance will definitely spell the demise of SJP2, at least forcing them out of position as they go down. And now Alliance just has to make their way up into U-Aim and Passion, who are all waiting on that high ground.

01:13:35 I mean, this fight is going to be explosive because you have teams owning essentially equally as much off the zone. However, UAE looking in a spot to where they have the truck on their side where the zone ends. And Sangeh is looking for the fight right here on top of the truck. UAE make the move in on to Passion. This will open up the doors for Alliance completely as UAE deals to close out match number two.

01:14:05 I mean, you know what I like about Vaude Reviewing, Lauren? It's the fact that you can improve. And when you saw U-Aim right there, they actually had the endgame end on them. That truck was in their favor. If they just pay that truck without getting swung and just making sure to push the other team edge...

01:14:22 9 killpoints only might not look that much but when you think about

01:14:50 They had to take essentially three big fights to win that game. Normally, what teams end up doing is that they really need to fight one fight for the Godspot, but Alliance taking several and coming out on top on all three fights as well. Phenomenal gameplay, but however, we also know Alliance is one of the best teams in the entire world, and they're never not showcasing why that's exactly it. Huge play right there. Even though Unlucky has that amount of damage, when we saw those PK shots from FX, wow.

01:15:19 Yeah, I mean, every decision was perfectly timed and well made on behalf of Alliance. Do you want to give a little bit of a shout out, though, to Roadhouse, who just went on an aggressive tear with 12 KP in match number two, which puts them very high now.

01:15:37 in these series standings after two matches. Obviously still four left on the day, but talk about a pop-off performance as well. Those 12 kills all the way down in seventh place. So they decided that they came to play here in match number two. As we end up though with Passion at the top of our series after two matches. But things are very...

01:15:57 Very close right now. We're separated by two points from first to second. Another three down from there is Alliance. So it is obviously still anybody's game. But of course, in order to find out who's coming up next for the next win, we have to go to another break. So don't go anywhere. And when we return, match number three coming at you. Sony In Zone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.

01:18:58 Das war ein wirklich tolles Spiel von Allianz. Und ich glaube, du hast es gehört, Graeis. Ich glaube, es war ein bisschen odd zu sehen von Uaim. Die Nerven sind zu viele Teams in der zweiten Runde. Ich möchte nach dem Final Circle sehen, wie das Ende für alle drei Teams waren. Denn Passion hatte ein ziemlich guter Platz hier. Es war Allianz, das ich mich überrascht. Es endet auf Uaim, das ist warum es so...

01:19:26 So baffling why they're actually sending that fight. Instead of just trying to hold that. Essentially, they could have played on the opposite side of the truck and tried to hold it down. Essentially, they get pinched by Alliance coming up from the lava. When you see trades on both sides as well, it's pretty much a free cleanup for Alliance. However, I don't want to take it away from the fact that before this essentially free 3P at the endgame to close out the game, they had to take several very hard fights to make it to that point. And that was like the most impressive part to me. A lot of the times you only end up looking at the...

01:19:56 Es war auch sehr gut für mich, was es smart zu nehmen oder nicht? Und sie waren auf point. Even wenn Hockens ging in den Lava und ich dachte, ist er wieder zurückgegangen? Und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen. Und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen, und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen. Und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen, und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen, und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen. Und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen, und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen, und sie hat ihn zurückgegangen. Es war auch sehr gut für mich, weil die Zone war nicht genau das gleiche, aber es war in eine andere Position, besonders am Anfang.

01:20:22 During the whole back half of the second game, I was like, oh, so this is what it looks like when Alliance don't run into eight teams in the choke. Okay, okay. It's literally the biggest difference between game one and game two for them. They get to sit in Harvester for ages and...

01:20:38 Not only is it gonna change how it looks like for them to play out on Match 3 coming up, right now as you speak, I'm so happy to get into the game.

01:21:06 Alter also saves a lot of teams from making bad plays. So, like, I'm not gonna say it, but if Elias didn't have Alter right there, Haki's died in that lava. If they play it out as a duo, it looks vastly different from the way they closed out the game as a full squad, which ended up super well in their favor. And this is also one of the big questions, Dia. Do you play...

01:21:26 All available Legends that are currently strong just to play them to get that game in. Like when you have Caustic available, do you play Caustic? When you have Alter available, do you play Alter? Because right here we could see Alter in true fashion's Inner Strength the way Alliance played her, especially tied to the ult. They didn't use too many queues here because they didn't need to. But some other teams potentially got way more value out of the queue. And if they don't play it when she's available, they might not ever be able to play it in the series.

01:21:52 Und wenn man diese wichtigen Momenten zu entscheiden muss, dann muss man die Kompsen vielleicht nicht so gut machen. Ja, ich weiß, viele Teams optieren in das hier, als viele Squads haben sich gewählt, um Watson zu holen. Nur zwei Teams sind nicht Watson zu holen. Das ist eine Auswahl, selbstverständlich, wie sehr...

01:22:18 ...Sparrow und Ash. So, please, please let this team do well. Please let this team do well. It would be so fantastic to watch Lifeline, Sparrow, and Ash pop off right now. But it'll be a little ways for them to do so as take a look at this zone pulling right down to the south on top of Dome, which...

01:22:38 für SPS hat eine Ring-Console dieses Mal. Und auf Phase, in Stax, BigMod hat Early Access zu Informationen, mit Nomm jetzt in Stax. Aber es gibt noch ein paar 3v3s, wie die Evo-Evos sind jetzt, als es schnell genug in die Spiel ist, dass niemand wirklich bereit ist.

01:22:58 Early enough in this game for sure, but we also see double purple armor already. Very scary because you don't want to fight that when you're on triple white. But yes, the zone did end up moving all the way south as we currently see some fights right here next to where the zone potentially should be going. Legion Gaming right here. Fighting Blast in that corner. Not getting the fight that they do want to get as they're both very low. Zombie trying for the reset. Lufka coming in for the finish. Immediately gets down after that res. And now it comes down to Calamitous.

01:23:25 Wir sind jetzt für den 1-Piece-Keeper-Shot. Blasps sieht gut aus, aber er hat einen Nade für ihn zu gehen. Nicely done. Clean end to that fight von Blasps. Und ja, Legion, despite being pretty close to where this zone was gonna end up, end up going down. And Doris, another team with a difficult path, are fighting Onik.

01:23:52 Just south of Lava Fischer. A reset does go through for them, but Onik playing the bridge quite well. Retain high ground and now have isolated yet another member of Endorse. Split completely from the squad and you haven't got Alter to make it back. You know, Onik here on 11 points overall is doing solidly fine. They've been in scenarios where they have had to take fights early and they're looking very comfortable doing it. Zidane, one of the players that we all know as well.

01:24:18 Very strong player individually, looking to always make plays on that Wraith. Wraith is something we see a lot more frequent in this matchup compared to earlier matches as well. As we see other teams opting in more dead center zone. But the zone doesn't have to necessarily pull into stacks. You could pull southern side more north of Dome. You could pull west side a little bit more north east of Longside. All of these zones will potential even north side towards west of Big Mod by the train rail.

01:24:41 Und weil das ist ein bisschen ein Geheimnis zu kommen, um in die Zone zu kommen, oder eher zu kommen, um in die Stacks zu kommen, um die Nade zu kommen.

01:24:48 Es ist nicht Kinect. Ein guter Möbel-Shield saves Empire für jetzt. Und given sie zu stabilisieren für das ganze Zeit, ich glaube Empire solltet werden bis die Zone aus dem Stacks sein müssen, denn wenn sie genug Platz haben, wie sie hier sind, kann man mit dem Spiel gehen. Ich glaube, Empire ist noch ein weiteres Spiel. Sie haben noch einen Moment, und Nomm ist noch ein Wettbewerb! Und Nomm ist noch ein Wettbewerb!

01:25:12 I mean, that was a phenomenal three-man push right there, making sure to cover all the angles. One of them wide swung, so they had to look at him, and you saw the free shot from across there over the wall. Very nice setup and execution right there from Empire. We've seen them hold their form so far after a huge game one now. Even having a solid game two, I would like to believe. They were in a spot right there before they got wiped out in the lava, to where they are now having a...

01:25:35 Das ist ein guter Start in diesem Game 3. Und wenn man 3 guter Starts ist, dann fühlt man sich wirklich gut über sich. Onnick, von dem Bridgefighter we gesehen haben. Er ist ein guter Typ, durch den Tunnel, oder sogar in den Harvester. Er ist ein guter Team, oder nicht. Er ist nicht so gut, aber ich fühle mich. Onnick... Der Fakt ist, dass sie wieder nach Mice schaffst.

01:25:59 Es ist wirklich schwer. Nach dem Respawn ist, dass du auch der Team gespielt hast. Aber fortunately, es ist genug Disengage auf Endurse, dass Endurse geht mit jeder member. Und Anik ist in Staging. Das ist nicht wirklich ein schlechtes Problem für einen squad. Anik hat eine Rotation, die direkt in eine Ring-Console führt. Ring-Console werden sehr wichtig sein, wenn man die South-South-Side kommt.

01:26:26 Ich meine, definitiv, für sicher. Also, da steht da, er hat sich geholfen, nachdem du geholfen hast? Ich weiß nicht, was ich da? In der Land, im Pre-Season Invitational in Polen. Wir mussten Quaul, weil wir Re-Fonds geholfen haben.

01:26:42 Ich habe es durch einen Rund nur weil ich re-spawn farmed es. Das passiert, wenn du die Punkte gehst und du hast es, du hast es, du hast es, du hast es. Ich bin sehr glücklich über das. Aber auf der anderen Seite, Killer Whale ist jetzt 20. King Victor, ein Spieler, wir sehen uns über den Spitz-Firmen, der letzte Matchday war, ist jetzt opting für mehr Meta-Weapons, oder Conventional Weapons, ich würde sagen, mit der Scout PK. Er ist weg von dem Spitz-Firmen, ein bisschen.

01:27:10 Sad, weil es funnig zu sehen, die andere Weapons sind ein bisschen glücklich, weil es Sinn macht. Ja, Bongo ist heute sehr gut mit dem Charge Rifle.

01:27:19 Let's see what he can make happen here, as right now is the battle between Killer Whales and Evos, with a potential third party coming in. Killer Whales already lost one, but expend the Lifeline Ultimate for a bit of safety. That safety temporary, however, as Zeus immediately gets taken down. Killer Whales being shot in the side, get taken out, and Zipline Mafia inherit the fight up against Evos, who did not lose a member. So Evos actually able to reset in here, now with a little bit of KP.

01:27:48 Ja, ich meine, Evos hat sich gut gemacht, eigentlich. CJ ist auch einer der Spieler, und ich glaube, MG Clutch ist auch. Ich sehe ihn in Ranks, all die Zeit. Ich glaube, ich sehe ihn in Ranks, all die Zeit. Ich glaube, ich sehe ihn in Ranks, all die Zeit. Und er ist immer noch Grinding. Und es geht darum, wenn du in die Zeit und Effort, wenn du in Ranks Ranks Ranks Ranks hast, ich sage nicht, dass du in Ranks Ranks hast, ich sage nicht, dass du in Ranks Ranks hast, aber ich sage, dass du in Ranks Ranks hast, dass du in Ranks Ranks hast, dass du in Ranks Ranks hast.

01:28:10 Und wenn du das kleine Verständnis in deinem Mechanismus wirst, dann wird es in der Pro-League sein. Und es wirklich zeigt hier, dass Evos ist großartig, nur in Match 3. Wenn sie das jetzt umgekehrt werden können, dann könnte es gut sein. However, Sonne, wie wir gesagt haben, Pulse ist ein bisschen north-west-ish of die Dome.

01:28:34 Very good spot. Roadhouse is playing a spot I like to call right there in the dead center of the next next zone. Where I like to call it Godrock. But you know what? We used to call it TSM all the way several years ago. Because TSM always played that spot and won so many games from there. Happy to see Roadhouse in a Godspot power spot right there. And we also here have a team running into a fight here. Alliance holding them out forever. Alliance on this high ground. They look good.

01:29:03 We just need to clear our back towards the tree and then we walk into the outside spot here, control the lava and everything and we're golden.

01:29:30 Ich denke, wir müssen beide aufbauen.

01:29:59 Ja, sie sind 100. Ja, sie sind 100. Ja, sie sind 100. Ich habe die Pfad von mir. Ich meine, du hast es best gehört, ich sage es.

01:30:13 Clear out your backs. And Alkake said exactly that. Just clear out our backs and then we can do what it wanted. Onyx was the team that they opted to clear out initially. However, they made a good Wraith play where they keep it into a spot where they have Newcastle and Watson, as I said, Newcastle, Watson and Wraith, where they can hold that spot. They can't get naded up because you see their setup right there. They have Newcastle walled up front. They have the gen behind them. Now they're opting to take out that gen so potentially they can look for naded plays.

01:30:38 Not making this easy for Alliance at all, but Alliance is not backing down from a fight because they are indeed...

01:30:43 Jetzt ist es Citadel vs Onik, als Allianz expire zwischen ihnen.

01:31:12 This fight, unfortunately for both teams, has to happen. There's no way that Citadel will stop.

01:31:19 from gatekeeping Onik. There's no advantaged rotation here, and actually it's a great time to look at what teams stand to win. Citadel will want to take out Onik. Take a look north, however. Evos are going to get ringscan right here. Take a look south. SJP2 have priority on the ring console immediately after this zone close. That is such a late ring console. In fact, it's the latest one you can possibly get. So keep your eyes on SPS and SJP2 for who gets that last bit of information.

01:31:45 Speaking of last bit of information right here, scouting for Infofyuta is also looking to take space more, opting to shoot them out as they get pinched between Endors and EmpireLip and get that kill picked up and they're very happy with that, even though they're kind of far away. Zone ending a little bit more towards Staggs, in between Dome and Staggs, Roadhouse was in still the same godspot I talked about earlier, very nice spot for them. Also one of the things that I talked about earlier is a spot can be truly good depending on when on the match it's happening.

01:32:14 Weil wenn es zu früh ist, wenn es zu früh ist, wenn es zu früh ist, wenn es zu früh ist, wenn es zu früh ist, wenn es zu früh ist, dann wird es der beste Spot in der Game sein, weil du jetzt aufhören kannst und jetzt hast du alles frei zu gehen.

01:32:23 Slowly and surely. Citadel Gaming, however, doing the opposite side of things, where they're on the edge holding out their backs, like the likes of Onik before, but other teams are trying to get past them and holding them out. Now it's a decision you have to make. Do we push back and get that wife and take another fight, like we saw the likes of Alliance do earlier, where you have to take several fights, grueling hard fights, but when you have that short track that we saw here, it could happen at any point, you overpick your instantly dead.

01:32:50 Die Entscheidung ist, dass es für die Citadel ist.

01:32:54 Onnick decide not to take the Jump Tower and instead just old directly on top of Zuni. Citadel still have access to the high ground and counter Newcastle Wall straight into Onnick. Unfortunately, Remix powers overextends by just a bit. Gets shot in the back and is taken down. Living Citadel in a two versus three. Zuni's got to try and correct this Peacekeeper pump. Doesn't quite change things around enough. Kaishi gets taken down and it is rather 1v2.

01:33:22 Citadel will try and disengage, getting stunned on the way out, but I think Zuni will be able to survive. The question is really for how long, because his teammates are not coming back.

01:33:33 Remix powers overextend a little bit with that Newcastle ult. It might have been a good idea because he says, hey, even if they ulted, I will trade my ult to get their wall away. However, overextended a little bit and got instantly punished by that. Citadel Gaming down to a rat. Onyx very happy taking out not only Alliance before them, but now Citadel Gaming, well, two of them essentially. Cybercast also moving in as we see a little bit more towards stack. Two buildings are still safe in the next zone for the moment.

01:33:57 All the other teams in the big building right there as we see, and as we see Empire as well, on top, are not in the next zone. They're opting to fight for something, either a floor in the next building or on top of the roof. Other teams, however, instead of needing to fight for something, feeling very good about themselves. SPS is essentially in the next zone right here.

01:34:16 Und H.A.P. 2 hat ein wenig Platz, aber sie könnten bei 07 auf der Far E-Side gehen, bei der alten Truck von der Far E-Side. Und hier, Onyck, nachdem viele Kills zu gehen, hat sie mit den Zonen zu gehen, aber sie müssen sich über drei Teams zu gehen, oder fighten für etwas.

01:34:37 Nice patient play from Zuni, just stay quiet, keeps the team literally alive as he is the one hope for Citadel to actually collect some KP, but I like this. Take a look at Roadhouse. Oh my god. On the, what did you call it? TSM Rock? Yeah, this is TSM's part of what I used to call it back in the day, yeah.

01:34:57 Oder einfach Gottrock. Es ist die beste Spot in der Game. Ja, depending on where the zone ends, that's considered Gottrock. Any spot that is like, you can sit there and you can make, you're very oppressive to make other teams unplayable, essentially, is what we call a Gott Spot, essentially. It's a power spot, where if you hold that, you're in a, you're feeling really good about it. You get to shoot everybody, nobody can really shoot you.

01:35:19 Nice.

01:35:44 Nice.

01:36:08 They have the next Rock that is also very good. You know, you saw that play from Akku. He got the entry and got back out. That's the role of the Wraith. Really good play from Akku right there. But now, as we see also, Empire fighting FaZe right now. FaZe... Actually, it was Beamsi. I thought it was Empire. Now, FaZe Clan trying to survive for the moment as one of them gets full Thirstead. Naxos in Epic still very strong with their Mechanical Skill. Opting right here. Empire also gets a reset. Everybody's getting shot by the other Rock on the Southeast. I believe that was...

01:36:37 Oh seven shooting them from Narnia essentially trying to make it hard for everybody else to walk in because you want to deny space as much as you can and if you're not allowed to play on that rooftop you're not feeling very happy brother this building is so cooked right now you aim empire endorse phase clan passion they're all on top of each other and they've got

01:36:57 5 Sekunden zu verabschieden Stacks. Ja, sie haben ein bisschen Priorität, aber sie werden absolut werden in das einfach so gut als jemand aus. Die ganze South-Side, oder eher North-Side, despares als diese Zone starte zu close in.

01:37:11 Oh! Oh!

01:37:41 Sanya and Max swinging this ruck. Kashera calls for the backoff. And it's time for 07 to reset, to get together, and then to finish off Uaim as a squad. They move through the Ashe portal, but they move right on top of Roadhouse. Uaim are going to fall. Then 07 grab a couple of kills, keeping their spot on the eastern side of the ring.

01:38:06 He must have accidentally taken that actually because there's no way that play was in the heads of any IGL right there Rowanhouse still looking really strong as they're taking out team Aku is still making the same thing right there making sure to get the fins maybe an armor spot potentially right there making sure that they are keeping that west side of the zone as other teams have been fighting Onyx still alive in it as well from we saw earlier 07 owning a large certain point of the circle as well right here on the east side all of this is looking very very tight

01:38:34 Sps are down, a couple of nice nades picked up by Onik as well. The utility will be very important to buy them space between SJP2 and Onik in the next couple of minutes. Roadhouse still a fantastic spot, like we said, no longer untouchable. But this game really seems to be a too...

01:38:56 Die 2-Sidede sind. Es ist Roadhouse und 07. Es ist Onik und SJP2. Nur eine Team ist aus den beiden Seiten gelaufen. Ihr habt es zu sehen. Onik ist eigentlich in den In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-

01:39:20 Es ist eigentlich halb der Zirkel jetzt, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten, um es zu halten.

01:39:48 Das ist schlecht. Das ist sehr schlecht für 07. Sjp2 starten, und weil 07 noch nicht weitergegangen ist, sie hat eine immense Menge damage gemacht und sie evaporate in front of Roadhouse. Es ist Sjp2's Zeit, und sie schwingt direkt in Roadhouse. Akku, doch, aufhören, perfekt auf die Reine. Hits sie mit 1, 2, und es ist Kyler, die in der face of Roadhouse geht.

01:40:16 Aku, Roadhouse first and foremost. They played from Godspot very, very early, held out that entire west side, slowly walked in, and they kept taking fights and winning fights. Aku right there with the flips. Dude, go Flare. Go Flare. You deserve it. Aku right there.

01:40:32 mit dem Phenomenal Raidflay, um die Entry Fragger zu gehen, um die Kräcks zu potenziellen einen Down zu machen, um die Facing-Out zu machen, um die Rung zu dem Team und Recoop und die Team-Ate kommen und Swing. Sie haben die Triple-Swingen nach dem Reset und die Down, und die Kip-Wipen Fights-Aber-Fights. Das ist ein sehr guter Spiel von 07. Ich weiß, dass sie nicht mehr haben, aber es ist ein sehr guter Spiel, aber es ist ein sehr guter Spiel. Top-3 für sie, sehr glücklich. SCP-2 hat sie Wipen Onik auf den Insel von der Eggshell, um das Top-2 zu gewinnen. However, look at das!

01:41:00 19 kills Roadhouse. 31 points from one game, Lia. Do you remember what I always like to say on the average? You need 5 points on average. About 35 points in general to be top 10. These guys just scored 31 points on one game.

01:41:15 Du sagst, sie können jetzt aufstehen? Sie können einfach nur das Spiel spielen. Und bei Ihrer Beziehung, das ist gut. Ich möchte jetzt mal sehen, wie das funktioniert. Lufka ist eigentlich ein paar Kills. Ich weiß, wir waren viel über Ako, der hat 3k dmg in einem Spiel. Oh mein Gott.

01:41:32 2nd and 3rd, held by SJP2 and 07. SJP2, a really, really good game. I loved the way they took the fight on the inside. And I want to take a look even closer at some of our heavy hitters from today's games. Lufka, 8 kills so far with this most recent game. But actually...

01:41:54 Es war Blast-Standig-Out, mit den Assists und, natürlich, Akku, die wir schon erwähnt haben, mit den 3k-dammage. Ich gebe dir kurz ein Shoutout zu Klone auf Take Flight. Er hat 4 Revives ist toll. Es gab nicht den Top-Leaderboarden. Aber du hast einen Top-Leaderboard.

01:42:11 Es gab nicht den Topf der Leadboard, aber 31 Kills für Rodas gab es den Topf der Leadboard. Und als du sagst, alle drei Spieler hatten etwas. Du hast die meisten Kills, die meisten Assistenz und du hast die große Amount der Damage. Und es ist wirklich zu zeigen, dass sie sich als Einwohnern bewegen. Sure, Akuma wird das Entry Frag, aber im Moment nach dem, sie gehen direkt in die Triple Swing und cleaning die Teamfighten sehr gut. Aber genug über mich, ich will wissen, was Glitter fühlt sich über das Spiel, denn diese Spiel war phänomen.

01:42:44 I have questions. I'm also a little speechless. Was the 12 kills in 7th place the match before a little foreshadowing on behalf of Roadhouse? Because like that much slaying in 7th place was already impressive. And then they turn around and they do this.

01:43:06 Okay, I mean, my favorite part about that too was, like you mentioned, 07 was in a bit of a tough spot, especially with taking the Wraith Portal or not taking it, but they get, and by they I mean Roadhouse, they end up with 07 on them and instead of panicking, you watched all of them just kind of stare at 07 being like, wait, are you actually...

01:43:29 Is that actually happening? Or we're just going to sit here and let it play out as opposed to jumping on it and trying to go for those kills. And that second of patience allowed them to not take any unnecessary damage. 07 panic, they back off. And then Roadhouse is still healthy. So then no matter what happens at the end, they're able to absolutely secure that win. I mean, they were calm. They handled every fight well. They looked terrifying.

01:43:53 I feel like that is going to be a very good match for them to go back and review and be like, this is what we did really well in this moment. And we need to do this every single time. It worked and we need to keep using that. And I guess while we're on the topic of going back and looking at things.

VOD Review und Strategieanalyse

01:44:14

01:44:14 You guys have mentioned it quite a few times while we've been talking through these matches. You've mentioned how important VOD Review is. Let's deep dive that idea just a bit, whether it is VOD Review for the sake of improvement or VOD Review for the sake of finding what's working and continuing that success. I want to talk about the importance of that VOD Review, Dia. So let's start this discussion.

01:44:34 Yeah, this is actually, it comes at the perfect time because I think we had a very similar game. For today's VOD review section, I've selected FaZe in their game from Stormpoint last week. I believe it was game number four, could have been five, but I think it was game number four, over at Wall, where they ended up basically making it into Endgame Circle, not quite being able to close out. They went out in a very similar position that they did today.

01:45:02 ...having a good early game spot, transitioning it well, but just not quite able to, in this case, make it out of stacks, and in the VODs case, make it really into the final couple of squads. So Graceful, as a pro player, you are going to be our main source for how we're going about breaking down this VOD review, but I pulled a clip. Let's take a look at this, and then afterwards we'll talk about what you're breaking down in terms of what went well and what you could have done better.

01:45:28 Ich habe einen Mäggiball. Ich habe einen Mäggiball. Ich habe einen Mäggiball. Ich habe einen Mäggiball. Ich habe einen Mäggiball.

01:45:53 EMP 2%, EMP 2%, EMP 2%, EMP 2%, EMP, do you have smoke or no? No, 15, 15, 13. Okay, I'm trying to save my drone, I'm trying to save my drone. I'm EMPing, I'm EMPing. Yeah, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm P, I'm

01:46:25 So this fight does end up still with the top seven for FaZe. It's really not a bad game, especially when you look at what they achieved previously. But Graceful, given these last couple seconds, how would you go about VOD reviewing to improve the result next time, if possible?

01:46:42 So the biggest thing you have to take away from this is that what was the goal? Because we had actually several different comps out there going to, we should look left and make sure nobody's on our left, one says nobody's on our left and one says, well we saw it from the P-Wave Nags right there, and he climbs up and he hits some huge clusters on him and says, we should wipe this because he's getting two cracks essentially.

01:47:01 Und ja, der IJL hat die Last Save, aber jeder Spieler sollte den Raum machen. Und ich denke, der Callout war gut. Aber die Executioner war nicht gut genug. Wenn du nachher und du nachher gehst, du sagst, dass er nicht den Ult hat. Potenziell, er könnte ihn auswählen. Ich denke, die Beste Idee ist...

01:47:18 One, do we have a spot to play? If yes, we take the spot, we hold everybody out. They did not really have that because they actually got obliterated from the left. So the play right there was to, and he even caught it way earlier before Naxx even sees his play. He says, I'm going to EMP them and we're going to fight. That's the first call that comes out. And immediately after that, you have to make sure that you invest everything into that one play. But it kind of got a little bit chaotic because actually the cluster hits and cracks. Really good opening. Nothing happens off that.

01:47:44 The EMP comes out, still they couldn't really collapse with the EMP in that combo because everybody's waiting out to not get hit by the EMP radius. One thing you could do about this, and I know some people might not like this, your teammates can actually just get hit by the EMP and still wipe the fight. You have to commit to actually cleaning the fight, or potentially if their goal was to just push them off so that they didn't drop into another team.

01:48:04 But what ended up happening is they didn't even make it up the stairs before one got instantly decimated and the other guy got instantly cracked, making it essentially a one-man swing, even though the plan was for three. So what I would like to see in going back onto this is, I called the play earlier. If I'm the IJL, that's mainly what I used to play. I would say, I called on me and P playing on this. You guys need to be ready for when that play happens, because that was not the case. So setup and execution needs to be tighter. Comps, I'm not complaining too much about comps, a little bit hectic, but...

01:48:33 Every team is very different. So communication is very team-based. I still think it's good to have a little bit of passion because sometimes the... What is the word I'm looking for? If you don't really get that sense of urgency in your comps, that could actually cost you a game or two as well. So, you know, you have several things you can work on. Could Nags have ulted earlier and made the play on his clusters?

01:48:54 Should they have listened and been ready for that actual EMP play instead of getting absolutely decimated on the stairs? Communication could have been cleaner, but I think overall, you take back at this, we made it into top 7, we got into endgame-ish, we need to work on these micro-spit-second decision-makings. I'm very happy still, though, because that's a learning moment for everybody here and at home, and I'm sure that they also learned from it.

01:49:16 Ja, wir werden, ich denke, das ein bisschen mehr oft machen. Take, wie wir im Proven-Games-Week-Over-Week machen und...

01:49:24 So, we'll see how that Vada review.

01:49:53 works out for them. I'm sure they did their own. I'm sure they had very different takeaways from us, but Graceful, you brought a lot of clarity to it. So thank you very much. Glitter, how did you feel about the Butterview? I felt like I learned a lot. That was great. I'll take notes from Dia and Graceful's class anytime. Absolutely loved that.

Ankündigung von limitierten Drops und Patch Notes

01:50:11

01:50:11 And it set us up well to head into the next match of the day. Before we do that, though, I have some good news for everybody at home. A little something special is coming up right around the corner because we have some limited drops that have just arrived at the Play Apex shop that you do not want to miss out on. And while you're there, be sure to sign up for notifications because there are limited edition encoded Nessie shirts available September 16th. And rumor has it there will be a launch discount promo for a short time. So as long as you're...

01:50:40 So now everyone in chat you get that done while we're preparing to get into match number three. That was awesome.

01:50:59 Das war wirklich gut, guys. Ich freue mich noch mehr von Ihnen in der Zukunft. Es war definitiv sehr hilfreich, besonders für jemanden in Chat, die vielleicht zu verbessern. Mit all dem Insight von der Resident-Pro hier in Graceful. Ihr habt absolut gefühlt es. Für jetzt, wir starten.

01:51:17 The rest of the day, because like you guys mentioned, that was our last map on World's Edge. Now we're going to be switching on over to Stormpoint. So what can we expect? We have our bands coming through here as well, Dia. So now we know who's no longer in the discussion. We're going to take a look at our POI drops as well. But what can we expect here on Stormpoint? Yeah, I mean, this one is interesting because it comes second and we've gotten rid of...

01:51:40 Watson, Alter, and Caustic. I'd expect a lot of Ash, to be honest, on Stormpoint. There's so many wide-open spaces to cross. Pathfinder, you're not really being forced into yet, although I did see a few teams fronting it last game. I'm talking to you, Faze. I'm talking to you. I think that on this map, you're really going to be...

01:52:01 Focusing on Ash, and while he is still available in Newcastle, although I don't think he lost the map, if I'm completely honest with you, Glitter. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I don't disagree with that either. Graceful, what are your thoughts here on what we can expect out of Stormpoint? I think we'll see a little bit of shakeups, because like I said, the main three...

01:52:19 Ich denke, die Teams sind ein bisschen stärker auf diese 3v3s.

01:52:45 Und Teams, die wir in diesen Scenarios sind, wo wir, hey, wir können uns nicht für unsere flaws, aber unsere Weaknesses vielleicht in 3v3s oder Fights straight-up werden, weil wir nicht die Kostik-Gas zu legen, das Alter-Reset zu legen, das Alter-Reset zu legen. So jetzt kommt es um mehr Fundamentals von Raw Gunplay.

01:53:09 If I'm going to be completely honest, I love gunplay more than abilities. So from now on, I like it even more. Well, if we're talking about legends and gunplay, those things will obviously be changing just a little bit. You mentioned it earlier on in the show, Graceful. We have a patch coming up right around the corner. So let's take a look at these patch nodes and talk about it, okay? Because we have some legend changes. You can see on the left here, we've got some changes to Maggie, Sear, Ash, Caustic, and Sparrow.

01:53:39 Take a quick look, read through these, and is anything jumping out of you? I heard an excited gasp already. I don't know which one of you gasped, but I heard the gasp. Do you want to? I could talk endlessly. I'll let you have it. I mean, I'm going to get right to the point here. As soon as I saw the patch notes, I tweeted this with the dev note from the blog.

01:54:01 It's time to bring Seer back into the meta. I'm really hoping that these changes are enough, because Seer has been sitting on the sidelines for a little long. I've missed the guy, and I'd like to see him back. I think that he's going to be very exciting to play next split, but I'm sure that's probably not the forefront for you, Grace, so you're probably thinking about real stuff.

01:54:23 First and foremost, everything is valid, because everybody experiences the game differently, right? And if this patch makes you happier, I think that the developers manage to do something good, regardless of what level you're playing at, right? However, the thing that jumps out at me are some things I'll just go through really briefly. Caustic doesn't change anything, Aim Punch Removed and Slow Ramp Up, he's still oppressive, doesn't change anything. The big one we have to look at, and I think a lot of people have been more frustrated with, is Locked Hop-Ups.

01:54:52 Before, when you get that piercer on Peter so fast, it's very scary. Now it takes a little bit more effort to get to that point where it late game scales, essentially. And now, like you said about Seer as well. Seer is one of the characters I think everybody is probably top three most impressive when he was meta. I don't think this will...

01:55:10 will make him as bad as he used to be back when he threw a building at you and flashbang you and did damage at you and silenced you and stopped dressing and everything but i think that this will make him very more viable for sure however the one that i'm happy about is mad maggie specifically but i don't think this is really enough to bring her some people you know we've seen some eastern european teams play maggie for fun and

01:55:34 They might rip her out again, but in general, I don't think that's enough. But the biggest thing that we also, we didn't see on that actually, because I read the patch, I know all of them, is that PK is actually getting a nerf with the choke specifically. Very happy, and I think most people are happy about that.

01:55:51 I think people are very happy about that. But the one thing I like the most, even though it's not really a huge buff, Wingman also getting a little bit of love, and that makes me happy. You had Dia thinking. I saw that. I saw the thoughts and the beard stroking, Dia. Well, I just wanted to talk a little bit more about it, if we have time, because the Peacekeeper nerf is interesting. Do you think that this is enough? Because, I mean, obviously, Peacekeeper has been...

01:56:17 Very, very popular, but its short-range kill potential is still just as prevalent as it was, and especially in pro play, I don't see this moving the Peacekeeper really out of the meta. No, meta... PK, you will still pick it up, because it's just... You're still gonna hit for 1-0+, like, in close range. But I think that's where it should be at. Like, it should hit hard because it's a shotgun, right? Now you can argue if it should hit as hard as it does or not, but in my head, I feel like we should have weapons for genres. It should be an...

01:56:46 They're categorized for a reason. Shotguns should be close range. They should not be snipers, because that's where we have snipers. Then you have ARs that should be midrange, because they are midrange and not like old ARs back when Flatline was the GOAT, where it was better close range than any other weapon. So I'm happy as we distinguish a little bit more towards where weapons are powerful, because that's where they should be powerful. However, to the extent that the AR could be...

01:57:10 Ich bin nicht persönlich ein Fan von 100% nur Bodypumps, weil wir den Headshot-Value von PK genommen haben. Ich fühle mich eher, dass es hella hart ist, wenn du jemanden in die Hände hattest, aber wenn du Body hattest, das für mich ist etwas. Aber das ist ein guter Schritt in die Richtung.

01:57:28 I love it. I love that a simple patch can spark this much discussion. But Graceful, production heard you during the between time of saying like, you know, we should just VOD review this last game because that's how good it was. I want to talk about it. And they got it ready for you. So we're going to...

Analyse der finalen Momente und Teamstrategien

01:57:48

01:57:48 So let's talk through these final moments. We're jumping straight in when you can see the Kraber ready to go before 07 makes their portal in. What did you specifically want to touch on here, Grace Ball?

01:58:03 So this is the thing where I'm pretty sure either Nasi or Kashera called for the TP play to say we're gonna make this play to start the fight, but then reposition so that potentially the team inside three-piece them. Very risky play. Where they ended up dying, I would like to see 07 just TP for that and hold out the eggshell team if they could have maybe. They're still gonna get swung regardless, but best case scenario for them is top two essentially. Roadhouse however, right there.

01:58:27 Godspot in general, just holding them out properly, because they own that rock. And if you can do that, well, then you can close out the game. Even with these 19 kill games right here, they've been playing phenomenally in general, you know. However, I think here though, yeah.

01:58:41 Oh, no, go ahead. It was absolutely insane to end match number three with those numbers and in that way. But I'm getting told that match number four is literally about to get started. Lobbies loaded, players are ready, which means graceful. You finally get a break. Go relax for a little bit. We're going to say goodbye to you for now as I steal Dia away so that we can dive into match number four over on Stormpoint. Start talking about...

01:59:08 This next match, will that be the snowball that Roadhouse needs? Are they going to be the team that was the proverbial point sponge that we were talking about? And Roadhouse, like you said, you caught it on game number two. They looked so good.

01:59:23 In Game 2, they snowballed that into Game 3. And I'm very curious what this looks like on Stormpoint for them now, because this is a little bit of a soft reset, shall we say. With the POI is changing, with the macro of teams around you changing, how does that affect your game? We've already actually seen some of the POIs swap from the last time that these two groups met. They did play Stormpoint. That was the map that they had in common between last matchday and this matchday. How is that going to change for some teams?

01:59:52 CyberCats a really good example has swapped POIs from the zipline buildings, which have no loot to being dead straight on pylon, which is fantastic loot

02:00:03 I like that you call that Cybercast, too, because when I had talked about them at the beginning of the day, when I was talking about their performance, one of the things that I had noted was that they had struggled last time we saw them on World's Edge. And right now, they're not in a bad position, but they definitely didn't give us that match day one performance that we saw out of them last time, because now they find themselves at least in that 12th place spot.

02:00:24 Aber Stormpoint war der beste Map, wenn wir das letzte Mal gesehen haben. Ich frage mich, ob das ist die Möglichkeit, für eine Team wie Cybercats zu tun, oder wie wir jetzt, als wir die Roadhouse sehen werden, werden sie einfach destructiv werden? Such eine weirde Composition, bei der weh. Mit zwei weirden Compositions? Ich meine, wir sind, wir haben etwas. Wir haben...

02:00:50 Wir haben eine Revenant in der Lobby, ich habe zu sehen. Aber dann haben wir Rampart, Gibby und Newcastle. Ich meine, wirklich, wirklich gut, wenn Sie in einem Ort bleiben wollen. Und wenn Roadhouse ist, können Sie eine Ring-Consul scanieren und in die Mitte der Zone gehen, fantastisch für sie. Aber ich sehe, dass es keine Ring-Consul gibt. Ich sehe, dass es keine Ring-Consul gibt. Ich sehe, dass es keine Ring-Consul gibt. Ich sehe, dass es keine Ring-Consul gibt. Und Zone ist bei der Barometer. Also, wie soll diese Composition funktionieren, wenn Sie keine Ring-Data haben?

02:01:20 Das ist das, was wir eigentlich gesehen haben, auf Matchday 2 gesehen haben. Das gleiche Wettbewerb zwischen VP und LG in Amerikas. Und es hat so gut gemacht, auch die Teams zu sein, dass ich jetzt schon mal angefangen, EMEA zu versuchen. Obviamente, wir sehen es auf Roadhouse, aber wir sehen es auf Allianz. Wir sehen es auf ein paar von diesen Teams, auf den letzten Wochen zu versuchen. Und ist das going zu sein, eine massive Meta-Shift? Are wir zu starten, das Gibby-Newcastle-Rampart-Trio?

02:01:50 And more teams finding success with it. I mean, I hope so. As a Rampart enjoyer myself, I really do hope so, yeah. I do think that Roadhouse managed to get a good guess here. Again, not really a whole lot of data for them to work off of, but...

02:02:06 They seem to have gotten themselves basically inside the Barometer Zone, and Citadel are following suit. So everybody moving down into Barometer, as that is likely where this ring is ending. Roadhouse are going to try and farm a little bit of Evo on the way in, but realistically, if you're rotating in late, you want to be playing for Jurassic later on, because Jurassic is the spot where you can get Ring 3 data super easily. There's no other spot in this zone that gives you as much ease to Ring 3 data as playing Jurassic well.

02:02:36 In Jurassic right now, at least, is an open area for these teams that are taking a little bit more time not making as early rotation to really kind of take the time and go for that information that you're talking about while all of these earlier squads are...

02:02:52 Already setting up shop hoping that they you know they've nailed it they've gotten the information they needed and you can see everyone shifting really aggressively towards that southern side passion trying to make a rotation and actually finding themselves caught up here with killer whales Trying to get an off angle here Everybody rotating through pylon just a little bit later killer whales have stuck with the lifeline as well still playing very aggressively and with bangalore sparrow lifeline

02:03:21 This composition is meant to do one thing, and it is run at you. That is the way that Killer Whales found success in their very first game of all of Pro League on Storm Point. It was by running at teams. They ran at Onik, they ran at everybody, and they just got so many kills that it didn't matter if they didn't win the game, because they were still top of the leaderboard.

02:03:40 I do like that they are returning to that same style. However, it's clearly gotten a lot more difficult as their placements today have not measured up in the same way as their placements on day one did. And that's often what we see, right? We always talk about that day one not being 100% the best indicator because oftentimes...

02:04:01 Teams haben nicht gefunden, sie haben nicht die ganze Lobby gefunden, und alle anderen Gruppen sind ein bisschen anders. Nun haben sie bereits gegen einen anderen Spiel gespielt, sie hatten ein paar Match Days unter ihren Belgen, und die Teams, die wir erwähnten, sind so zu stehen, und die Teams, die wir erwähnten, sind so zu stehen, und wir haben einen Platz in die Setquats zu finden. Das Wall ist extrem agressiv. Arktik geht nicht um ein Locked Door, aber es ist genug.

Spielverlauf und Team-Entscheidungen

02:04:30

02:04:30 for Empire to get inside this building. I see it now. Not looking for the fight, but looking for the safer position. A bet as to where this endzone will be. Empire eat a lot of nades and a lot of damage for this, but it's not worth pushing for the team below them. Nobody feels too confident yet, and Empire certainly confident in taking a lot of space. It worked out well for them.

02:04:55 They've now got some good vantage points onto the teams below. They've got this height that they can work. Some off-angle sword. Nice shot of Arctic taking out Nasky instantly, as soon as they land, thinking they could potentially be safe. They'll have to try and get a little bit of a reset there. But I mean, now Empire have really made a statement, and I don't think anyone's going to be pushing up on them anytime soon.

02:05:22 Oh, Seven get the respawn immediately. The Power Flame Crypto makes it very simple to pick your teammates back up. Empire's position pretty unchallengeable now that they've actually got it. But as this zone is almost done closing, we are really going to see what play around the edge of the map looks like. Checkpoint has got a ring console for much later on. Alliance and Zipline Mafia are in there right now. I say that as Alliance watch Zipline Mafia leave.

02:05:50 Immediately. Picking up WeQ on the way out. And I believe Elias should be able to get a Ring Console scan here. Plan their endgame. Where Zipline Mafia will unfortunately be in Reset City. All split up across the map. Going in two separate directions. Just to try and stay alive for as long as possible. I believe FaZe Clan, if I'm reading this right.

02:06:12 Have the ring console over at Cascade as well. That could be pretty big for them. Nope, this is Survey Beacon. Where's my ring console at? Oh, they already got it. That's why the jump tower's there.

02:06:23 ...information in hand. You can see Zipline Mafia also ... ...gathering back together at Cedar Station. They probably will run into base plan along the way, but we're back in the fight with Killer Whales, who have lost one, down to just a duo, trying to stay alive, as we've got another team in the mix here, trying to see if they can maybe clean up some KP on top of Passion, as Killer Whales are eliminated. Passion down to a duo, and it's going to be Evos to see if they can maybe clean up the last two. Coming to the last bit of KP.

02:06:51 Und Evos, eine der anderen Team, ist das Aggressiv Composition. Funny, wie Evos und Killer Whales, ihre Spielplans haben quasi identifiziert. In der Art von der Watson Composition. Und jetzt sind wir jump-towering auf den letzten paar Kurs.

02:07:11 Passion cannot catch a break right now, and Ekio surely is going to be spotted out. Alliance have chased Zipline Mafia and are chasing them just a little bit further. It is a Trident race down past Mill as Passion are going to go down. We'll see how long his last member of Zipline Mafia stays alive. A little bit of boost off the Tridents could be it. Down behind the rocks, but...

02:07:37 I don't know, I don't know if Alliance get the kills. There we go. Zip line up, you're out. With the PK from a distance, Alliance really wanted to make sure they clean that up. They'll get a little bit of loot, get themselves back inside the ring and find themselves having mostly open space with the exception of Phase Plan in the way. Meanwhile, FUL not so much open space here. They're looking to defend this nut building.

02:08:03 Very difficult to defend against that. Citadel, they're gone, they're escorted out. The team's still alive, but that seems to be a temporary effect. Remember, if you go out this way, you're heading right into Phase and Alliance, so I don't expect to see Remix Powers alive for too much longer. Alliance's starting to move up. This Gimme Shreden tactic is as effective as ever.

02:08:30 Just, you know, casual cruising bubbles. Moving through space a little bit more safely. Love to see it here. As Alliance are now moving in on the western side. The solo on Citadel did manage to escape. So there's potential for a full reset there, depending on what Citadel Gaming is able to do. As we get to see your team that you've been talking about so much, take a quick peek in there on FaZe Clan, who are still...

02:08:59 Right outside the next ring. They've made their way safely around a wider slower rotate and they look not in the worst position right now. Okay, I gotta check the composition, but I'm 90% sure that I'm right here. Evos, if I'm remembering correctly, can't actually, yep, they can't even make use of this Jurassic zone. Remember we said that you should be staying in Jurassic late because then you can get ring console scan? Well, they can't. Evos are last in Jurassic. Anybody would be...

02:09:26 Foaming at the mouth to have the next ring console scan to know where this zone is going. And Evos, for all of this placement, can't actually do it. They're going to have to play Edge of the Zone.

02:09:40 They are our own Maggie, though. I mean, they do have Maggie. They do have Maggie, but it's not going to help them. I was trying not to say like Chumps, but they kind of have to play like Chumps right now. You know, they're sat there, and they have absolutely none of the information that they could. The nice thing is that they have Mythic Bin that's just spawned, and taking a look at the zone, looks like getting Ring Council Scan really won't help you that much. It's not like you're going to be sitting in a building. This is 90% water.

02:10:07 Yeah, that's gonna be rough for when everyone that's hunkered down has to move out, even on that east, the far eastern edge of Barrow. I mean, that'll be interesting as we get to see Eva's getting this mythic. What are they gonna get out of it? Oh, a Kraber. Can they put it to use? This will at least give them a little bit of safety as they're going to have to push through a decent amount of teams, no matter which choke they decide to make their move through Citadel.

02:10:36 Off in the distance is able to get that full reset. We were looking to see if they could get it. They get it and they're now moving in.

02:10:45 All right, let's go up to you. Yep.

02:11:16 3, 2, 1. Bubbling. Go, go. Go to the other side, Lucky. Nice. Set the car as well. You can put it on this side, though. Just put one on instantly. Look not, though.

02:11:34 We're getting a cap on us as well.

02:12:00 The nice exit from Alliance is pretty clean, and you'll notice they did identify their threats, right? They got height building, they got nut building, and they just got to be making sure to shoot back and show a little bit of presence. The game plan for Alliance pretty clear from here. It's the other teams that I'm worried about. Those squads that are approaching from the north. We are seeing Calamitous with the Kraver knock. Take on, take flight. So north side of the zone is already looking chaotic, Glitter.

02:12:28 Yeah, this is gonna be interesting to see how it gets handled because a lot of these teams are also stacked.

02:12:34 auf oder auf die anderen in diesen Städten. 07-TAKING-OUT-SPS wird nur die Beginn der all diese Teams zu werden. Die Zone, wir haben zu sehen, dass die nächste Ring auch noch ein weiterer Moment ist, und das wird interessant sein, wie es diese Teams endet auf die nächste Seite auf die nächste Ring geht.

02:13:02 Lesion Gaming, though. One of those squads that is right near Citadel. You've got Take Flight on the outside. And they're gonna have to start going for a move. They decide to bring the fight straight to Take Flight.

02:13:14 Not a bad idea if you can clean this team out. It is just clearing your back, like Graceful had mentioned earlier. Calamitous has the portal to back off, doesn't need it as he gets Asampe to back him up. Take Flight, go down on it, conjoining them. Two squads eliminated in a very short amount of time, but this does not solve the problem. How do Legion actually continue? With Rampart still in this game, Newcastle's good, but Newcastle is only so good.

02:13:46 Es ist schnell genug, um nicht zu viel zu sehen, als wir sehen, wie Uaim ist, um sich in der nächsten Spot zu sehen. Das ist richtig, richtig, richtig gut gemacht hier. Nichts challengeden von jemandem, nur noch, als sie haben Roadhouse auf der Seite, aber keine gute Angles für Roadhouse zu nehmen, so sie nicht mehr zu bewegen.

02:14:12 Das ist ein Team, das Allianz war auch immer auf. Und Faze haben sich jetzt einen Raum für sie hier zu machen, aber sie können das jetzt machen. Wenn du eine Nub-Buildung hast, wie wir gesagt haben, wenn du jemand anders bist, und wenn du eine Citadel jetzt nicht bist, sind sie nicht. Even Legion, die sie jetzt aus, haben sie über einen 3rd-Partner. Sie sehen die Reset.

02:14:37 Very nervously taking place on the low ground. SJP2 find a small spot to play. One that actually will age pretty well. And Empire on the low ground going to do the same thing. But this Newcastle wall is not it. And unfortunately now they've got no safety as they face up against SJP2. Cybercats go down. Arctic with a Skynade. Does find a lot of damage. Is it enough to climb off of? Nom are going to fall. 11 squads left and Empire do decide to climb. They want to get rid of SJP2.

02:15:06 They don't even need to climb onto height to do it. I mean, the nade was enough to at least keep them away. Some third-party action came through, but it does not go unpunished. Legion still surviving on this southern side as Empire are eliminated. Legion have managed to survive that chaos and are actually going to be able to move in now pretty much uncontested. As you get to see a couple more of these squads now on that southern side.

02:15:34 All clustering up here. 07, U-Aim, Roadhouse. Having to scooch in very soon. Roadhouse taking the fight right now. Their game plan is what we've got to be focused on. They have so much staying power. Taking out of 07. This is good. They've, as we said, cleared their packs. But how do they rotate into the next zone? That's the big question that I don't see the answer to. With Gibby, with Newcastle, with Rampart, how do you close the distance?

02:16:08 Das ist die Frage, die Allianz zu stellen. Jetzt die Ring ist geschlossen, man sieht die F.U.L. sind zu sehen, aber wir haben einige von diesen Teams, die Not-Building-Squats sind auch. Alle haben zu gehen, F.U.L., F.U.L., haben sie das Back-and-Fort, die F.U.L. nicht able zu bekommen, das Reset. F.U.L. wird sie aus, das Western-Side, und Allianz hat sie in direkt vorgelegt. So F.U.L. ist die Allianz.

02:16:33 Faze slam right next to them. Alliance turn around, but it's only a duo from Faze that's actually managed to close the distance. Meanwhile, we've got Roadhouse and Endorse fighting on the other side. Everybody just clamoring for a bit of zone. Evos are going to fall. And Alliance start swinging on to Faze. Taking out the nearest team, the most proximal squad. Nags gets forced out. Faze get forced out. And Alliance unchallenged now on the other side of this rock.

02:17:00 Sie haben die Zone und ein bisschen ein Corner zu spielen und das ist genug.

02:17:32 It is Alliance and Roadhouse. Two titans in very different ways that have to be our next matchup to focus. Alliance still haven't Trident Gibby Rotate available to them. Roadhouse should as well. Alliance expend a bit of utility to try and take them out. It doesn't quite work. You ain't, however, go down, leaving us with just three squads. And that means, Glitter, that Legion have the most space in the lobby. We're very focused on this Roadhouse Alliance, but...

02:17:58 Legion silently could win this game if either team misplays.

02:18:26 Das ist ein Problem für Legion, die jetzt sind durch die Double Trident Rotate. Allianz und Roadhouse haben die Spiel gemacht. Und jetzt haben sie legt Legiongaming in eine No-Win-Situation. Sheila kommt, aber es ist einfach nicht mehr Platz. Roadhouse sind auf einen Seite, Allianz auf der anderen Seite. Und inzwischen, Legiongaming sind getötet.

02:18:55 Das ist das, was ich spreche, Baby!

02:19:28 Was this going to be the snowball? We said there was so much aggressive potential and they did the right thing. Yeah, again, this is what they did in the last match. They were in the final top three. They had space and they didn't force it. You mentioned the double bubble rotate, but Roadhouse did not move in. They didn't take the fight to Legion. They allowed Alliance to do that.

02:19:52 Ended up once again being the reason they won. And it wasn't the same level of slaying this time around, but it doesn't matter because we have seen three back-to-back insanely strong performances out of them, Dia. This is a team to be reckoned with. Dude, that was... I am...

02:20:12 I'm having a good time casting these games, I tell you what. The head-to-head off of that last game with Roadhouse winning does still have them funnily enough with more damage overall because they spent more time in the middle of zone. That's really important to note. We talked about how Roadhouse did not have Ring Console Scan to start the game. I don't think they got Ring Console Scan at a single point in that game. They raw-guessed the zone based on how everyone else was moving.

02:20:39 Got to a good spawn barometer, and made it work with, again, a composition that does not rotate. The fact that they got a Trident in that endgame? Crazy to make the double bubble rotate. And I think you can tell from my inflection right now that I just have too much to say. I'm kind of losing my mind over here, Glitter. I love it. I'm here for it. I... When... We...

02:21:00 Ich glaube, heute ist ein perfekter Beispiel von Roadhouse. Und wir wollten, ob wir die Performance aus der Trino, die wir wussten, dass sie das Trino können. Und ich denke, heute ist ein perfekte Beispiel von dem.

02:21:20 It is. This is good macro and it's good micro at the same time. We've been on their POV when finishing fights. They've got really good awareness of when to use cooldowns. That Gibby bubble like we mentioned in the endgame knowing ours is going to last just that little bit longer. This is going to clean up the fight for us very easily. And we can pressure for the win even against a three stack that hasn't lost anybody. I mean, this is good game awareness in the endgame. It's clearly good macro on the way in.

02:21:47 I don't know where Roadhouse's weakness is right now. It just might be on another day. Well, I'm having a great time. Storm Point has started off with a bang and Roadhouse is absolutely crushing it in our series. But we still have two more matches on the day left to go. So we're going to send it to a short break. And when we return, match number five. So don't go anywhere. The last man standing. At least I lasted longer than anything. I can do better. Old man. Metal finger.

02:24:35 is the official energy drink of the apex legends global series

02:24:49 Ja, ich meine, es war phänomenal, denn sie hatten das Gibby-Bubble-Play auf den Trident zu pushen.

02:25:17 Die letzte Team in die Allianz. Die Legion Gaming wurde von der God-Spot getötet, weil sie nur einen Mann auslöscht haben. Und wenn es zu Bubble-Fighten gibt, wir bereits wissen, Aqua hat sich in die Arbeit gearbeitet. Lufkan, Blast, alle auf der gleichen Seite. Sie haben die gleichen Leute, aber es ist wirklich zu zeigen, dass wenn man die Presence des Mindes macht, dass wir jetzt in der Worste Spot sind, dass wir jetzt auf die beste Spot finden können, ob wir die beste Spot finden können.

02:25:43 Worked out for them phenomenally. Two back-to-back wins right there. It's huge.

02:25:50 Yeah, the Newcastle ban we did predict, right? It's just such a high-value pick when it comes to Stormpoint. And especially in that last zone we saw, Newcastle was...

02:26:19 The saving grace for a lot of teams. The only real counter to that being the fact that we had so much Rampart that at least Newcastle got Captainish. This time it is just Rampart. We've got firepower on firepower on firepower and it's much harder to set up. I'm really curious how this affects Gibby priority because we are seeing Gibby raise up in prio and while I mentioned the potential issues of Roadhouse's composition not having a rotational legend where at what

02:26:48 Ich meine, ja, die Trident mit der Gibbe-Bubble ist großartig, aber wir sehen auch viele Catalysts. Das ist die gleiche Sache, obwohl ein bisschen weniger safe ist, weil du kannst du durch die Wälder, wie die Catwälder, als die Catwälder. Es ist ein bisschen schwer zu bekommen, aber das Catwälder ist ein bisschen schwierig, aber das Catwälder...

02:27:17 So we're probably going to see some interesting plays from there. But however, we talked about Mad Maggie. Is this a... Is this a... What should I say? Foresight to the patch to come, where people are now...

02:27:39 Ich denke, ich denke, ihr seid auf die Money hier, Graceful. Mit Roadhouse bereits zu haben, zwei Games.

02:28:07 Es geht nur darum, dass sie diese Möglichkeit nicht zu spielen mit den Catalyst, als viele Teams haben gesagt, aber zu starten vorbereiten für was könnte ein sehr starkes Pick zu kommen, in der Maggi. Ich sehe, dass Roadhouse, notably in diesem Spiel, haben eine Ring-Console auf nil.

02:28:26 An advantage that they did not have last game, that they still ended up winning without. So the fact that they've got Ring Console here now makes me very curious as to what they'll end up playing. Endorse have also got one over at Barometer. Legion managed to hit one over at Cenote. And we're even fighting over some of the ones at Echo HQ with Evos and Killer Whale. Yeah, we've got another Maggie already whipped out. Evos with the first knock.

02:28:51 Wir sehen uns, was sie können, als Nate geht, aber nicht geht.

02:29:00 Killer whales is one of those teams that people were a little bit scared, depending on scrims to scrims. Some people have been scared of them because they're really strong at fighting, but today in these matches, they have been caught lacking and losing fights consistently. I hope to see them turn it around potentially later on in the next game, perhaps, but that's definitely not a start that you want to begin with.

02:29:26 Mice picking up a knock as well. Cybercats are a bit late to the fight and Cybercats also not known this split for their constant 3v3 fighting on edge in the same way that Evos and Killer Whales have done. Instead Cybercats, a much more zone oriented team, are gonna back off onto Coastal Camp to get the ring consoles scanned and bring them over.

02:29:47 Back to Papa. Roadhouse, you bet. They are right in the middle of this next zone. We are going Barometer once again, guys. Another zone. Well, it's not repetitive because this does look like it can pull a little bit differently, which I'm more than happy with because that zone right next to Cannon is fun to play. Not so much, you know, it's very hard to look at sometimes because...

02:30:10 Teams end up clashing too much, unless it's a collapse of where the bridge or a certain area isn't in. Now we will see a little bit more, perhaps maybe towards Bamboo even would be really cool, but I think this will pull much further south. Some of these zones is just so interesting to see how they evolve, because teams end up going more mid-speed compared to early, because there is not nearly as much safe area to play.

02:30:33 If you do want to play mid-speed, by the way, time to point out some POIs that have good Ring consoles. Cenote, Mill, Cito Station, Cascade, all great places to rotate through if you're looking for Ring 3 information before anything else. And SPS, I think, are trying to decide exactly what they want right now. They've got an idea that everybody's already in Barometer, and the world is their oyster. Do they want a hard commit to Barometer with a Trident? Yeah, you can kind of do that. Or do you want to go and try and play out of Cenote?

02:31:02 Es ist ein schwerer Moment zu machen, denn es muss es early sein. Du kannst es bei einem oder zwei Minuten delayen. Ich fühle mich an diesem Punkt besser auf zu spielen in den Süd-East-Choke. Honestly, bei Coastal-Camp-Choke. Aber... Opposite der Choke, Rodeau ist jetzt hier zu machen. Sie kämpfen Flight, ich glaube. Lufka ist bereits aus, aber sie haben die Banner. Aber es wird sehr schwer mit einem Spiel zu machen, wenn sie hier geteilt werden. Das scheint nicht so, als beide Teams sind.

02:31:30 Potentially, they can get a reset here. Yes, fights will evolve, as you said. Earlier on, fights are fine, but the later we get into it, the more teams are coming in with this rotation. It's gonna be harder to take these fights, because then you're opening up for a 3P. And here I was wondering if they had a movie. Of course they do. Of course they do. Everybody gonna be back to full. Roadhouse prepared. Again, in the center.

02:31:56 Auf Barometer. Take flight, find a respawn of their own. So, as everybody backs off, really all we've traded is a few points and a bit of EVO back and forth, importantly. Lufka gets back in, does almost get taken down, unfortunately, but we take the win. He lived, and that's what matters.

02:32:16 I mean, it is scary indeed now when you hear the scouts, you see the Chortrap, you hear the Peters, you know, it's not. Even though it's literally just a straight drop down into your building, you can still get taken up really quick. Very scary. Anik, however, scared indeed as Evos is collapsing on them right now. Even though we see walls come out, it does not matter because Night catches up to them immediately with that.

02:32:37 Ich weiß nicht, was die Schotgen sind, als das Charakter ist. Wenn die Buff kommt, ist es nicht nur Schotgen sind, was sehr interessant ist. Es gibt auch SMGs und Pistols. Das wird Spaß zu sehen. Mad Maggie action, immer wieder zu sehen. Ja, es wird mehr und mehr versatil. Mit der Peacekeeper ist. Ich denke, wir werden noch weiter sehen. Oh, no. 07, wir sind in der Landing. Und es ist OCCUPIED. NICELY DONE OF THEM, zu callen das auf. Ich weiß nicht, was die Schmerzen waren. Und ich weiß nicht, was die Schmerzen waren. Und ich weiß nicht.

02:33:06 It doesn't matter nearly as much as the fact they got it right. I mean, I'm happy that they didn't drop down there because they would have dropped down into Blooming Flower Sheila behind the wall. That would have been instant death for whoever landed down there. Zone seems to be pulling a little bit more on the southeastern side now compared to the central side of what we saw last game. So that's going to be interesting. Playing that watery area down there. SPS sitting underneath the bridge is in a good spot to play from here as long as they can hold this out.

02:33:35 Und das ist etwas, was wir immer sagen, dass wir immer wiederholen, wenn die Zone klosen, weil ZipLine Mafia, in einem Moment, wird wahrscheinlich vor SPS sein, und dann geht es um, wo sie gehen können. A lot of the times, wir tenden zu sehen, ob wir die Team versuchen zu evakieren für einen YOLO-Spot, oder ob sie sich auf uns kämpfen, oder ob sie sich auf den anderen Seite spielen können, wo wir 3P sie können. Das ist wo alle die Spaß ist, in meiner Meinung nach.

02:33:58 This next zone drawing us even further into Barometer. The teams that were able to get this information are Citadel, Empire, Alliance, Legion, and CyberCast. Oh! Evos, not one of the recipients of that information. But of course, they're taking another fight. Well, MG does go down. Nate, perhaps soon to follow. Cracked does swing the door to try and cover this. Zidane backs off.

02:34:23 Aber Evos müssen sie auf den Nr. Und Zidane auf den Lowground haben könnte ein Problem sein. Er ist cracked, aber sie sehen sie unten. Aber sie werden die Rez wieder auf den Nr. Und sie werden die Nr. Und sie werden für den Nr. Und sie werden für den Nr. Und sie werden für den Nr. Und sie werden für den Nr.

02:34:41 Ich werde sagen, ich denke, dass jeder in Chat war, warum ist CJ in die Richtung? Apex Sound war da. Er dachte, er war da, aber er war da. Er war da. Er war da, aber er war da. Er war da. Er war da mit dem TEP. Er ist sehr glücklich, dass das Unkomfortabel Zone ist. So, ja, die Zone nicht sehr gut ist, aber es ist genug zu pressieren. So, er wurde aus. Das ist sehr gut. Alliance, however, ist es in einem neuen Spot hier. Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass das Zone ist. Nicht zu weit, nicht zu weit, aber...

02:35:08 Und das ist genau das.

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Zonenrotationen im späteren Spielverlauf

02:35:36

02:35:36 They're just waiting for opportunities to happen, and then they immediately act on them. And this is a good bet from Alliance. There are zones that pull over towards them, and like you talked about, it's a very flexible position. They get the best of both worlds, a good chance at getting endgame Godspot, and even if it's not theirs.

02:35:54 Eine gute Chance an rotating into jemanden und machen ihre Leben ein bisschen miserable. Much wie Empire versucht zu machen. Die PK und die Charge up close sind. Lippin nicht findet ein Knock, aber sie nicht get knocked. So Empire reset auf der Seite hier. Sie spielen ein bisschen defensiv mit der Catalyst. Und sie gehen für die Fight wieder. Das ist Risky, aber es ist wert, wenn sie die Kills finden. Anik, unfortunately, will nicht live zu sehen, als sie von Faze getrennt.

02:36:22 Phase, we're now positioned in Jurassic. I mean, this is a freaky fight to take indeed because you see other teams as well waiting on them. Flight opted to disengage for now. It's going to be a straight 3v3 here. Empire already going to take it or not. They are looking for some angles with nades pushing them out a little bit, but you already know it. I know it. Everybody at home who's been playing ranked knows it. If you just peek a little bit too hard and you get jiggle peeked by triple peeking, it doesn't matter how good you are at the game. You will immediately fall down on all four. However,

02:36:52 We're seeing some patience here, which is good. They're opting to say, hey, is anybody walking up with the zone? Because, well, we know it, but they don't know it. Other teams are actually very nearby, even Faze on the northeast side, opting to maybe go into them late. Everybody's just waiting, as I always say. When the zone is closing, the last couple of seconds before you see the next zone, very pivotal moment. You have to look for it to see, where does the zone go? Do we need to fight now or not?

02:37:20 Looking like a pretty good spot for Empire. Waiting on the outside, but like you talked about, haven't really been able to find a safe place to take this fight from. Arctic searching for it again. Remember, the zone's going to pull everybody a little further to the south. We're going into Barometer, and you've got to cross some distance. Even with Ash, that could be difficult.

02:37:44 Ja, definitiv. Speaking of difficult, I'd like to see how things are leading because now as we see the next zone, Roadhouse also sees the next zone. They are indeed in. Are they going to hold out their backs or are they going to opt to move deeper because they are seeing and scouting ahead and they're starting to move outside of their house. I want to take a little bit of inspiration from them and see what they're thinking. So let's have a listen in with Roadhouse.

02:38:15 Ja, ja, ja.

02:38:37 And sometimes, looking for that inspiration, you find despair as they immediately fall down going up that slope. And sometimes, when that happens, you go back to Vaudevue, you try to figure out what happened. Did we go too early? Did we just get shredded going up that slope? Or did we not see the team that was waiting up above them? SJP2 were very, very ready to jump on that. It showed SJP2 have been a very aggressive squad. But even to see them doing that...

02:39:06 Und es verändert sich das Spiel. Es verändert sich das ganze Lobby. Mit Roadhouse, bevor sie sogar in die Top-15 haben, gibt es keine Punkte für Roadhouse. Except für die 1 K.P. sie waren able zu collecten. Evos, however, collecting K.P. after K.P. after K.P. Wir helfen Cybercats aus dem Lobby. Wir warten bis zum nächsten Rund. Evos ist absolut ein Team zu sehen, wie viele K.P. sie haben können in diesem Spiel.

02:39:31 Es hat sich schon ein Wasser aussehen, dass Mad Magi abzuhren, und ich liebe es jedes Mal. However, Kate Firetripe jetzt ist, die Sip-Bounce auf Miosen, aber er wurde von Beanzi geteilt. Sie haben eine gute Angle-Crossfire aus. Ja, sie stopt die Push durch das eine Angle, und das ist wirklich gut. Und das ist warum es so wichtig, dass sie nicht...

02:39:52 all of you to be in the same location where you just have to look in one direction when you have that crossfire lined up it actually stops that push which actually helped them maybe not get caught so that's very nice to see spot from empire

02:40:09 Honestly, not ideal. What I'm looking at, however, is two things. Spot of the Mythic Crate and the next zone pull. Remember we talked about Alliance's early rotate and the fact that they picked a very flexible spot? Well, now they've got a spot that is right on the edge of the next zone and looking even further into the future on top of the next one as well. They, SPS, and Zipline Mafia, but realistically...

02:40:37 I am really looking at Alliance here.

02:41:00 I believe it was F.U.L. Take Flight is in that direction. But there's also teams to the east that have to make their way in. It's gonna be a huge collapse on the northeast side, actually. I think Take Flight are gonna get to reset on this low ground as Alliance keep Empire off their backs. We're already seeing some kills start to be collected by Alliance as squads scramble for a spot in the zone.

02:41:26 A lot of teams from the north side, Endors, 07, Uain, Evos, Nam, FaZe, all of whom could very well go down in the next few seconds as the ring's already started to close and FaZe send it on the Trident Rotate, but Nags does get taken down on the way. Evos are going to try and do exactly the same thing on foot as FaZe lose more.

02:41:48 And maybe going down entirely. Zipline Mafia will bite the dust first. And Evos cover their tracks with a Bangalore ultimate. I like this proactive move. Expand the ultimate. Get a little closer to Citadel. A weakened Citadel who did not see Evos coming. Stingerbolt in response. Will Passion go down? Evos are just taken out squad after squad after squad. Citadel only the most recent to be checked off the list.

02:42:13 ... ... ... ... ...

02:42:32 There is no new castle in this lobby. We have to be looking at two cooldowns.

02:42:59 Oh! Oh!

Allianz dominiert das Endgame und sichert sich den Sieg

02:43:21

02:43:21 From second one of the game. They've been holding here the entire game. Now looking to get some KP. Very good for them. Being 15th currently on the leaderboard. Looking to pick up some kills. Alliance in a spot to where they are trying to hold other teams out. Empire makes that catwalk a little bit early. Knowing that there's a team underneath them potentially. They saw them earlier. Alliance though. Like I said before. These bins are safe. The tunnel next to them is safe. Are feeling really good about this endgame.

02:43:45 This is even looking like these bins are safe for next zone if we trust their minimap. You aim are going to go down.

02:43:51 But Alliance may have to do very little, expend very few cooldowns to stay alive. Nom will not get that privilege, being taken down. And Empire, who used their Catalyst well early, gets sent and taken out by Endorse. Alliance look for a few extra kills off the back of that, but don't end up finding them. If Vekt retreats back to safety, the priority of Alliance is winning this game. Endorse will fall, taken out by FUL. 07 and SPS stare each other down on the eastern side of the ring as 07 are forced into FUL slowly.

02:44:21 Aber sicher, Natsuki wird sie herausfinden. Peacekeeper Schott in die Mitte. Und die O7 machte schnell von F.U.L., sogar für die Finisher. Natsuki sehr hoch, gehts auf die G7, gehts auf die Stinger Bolt. Und wir haben einen 3er Party von Allianz, das ist all über sie. Unlucky, die Barrage aus, als Effekt sitzt und bleibt die Team safe.

02:44:44 It's a nice extension from, ultimately, Alliance, that keeps them safe. FUL in 07 out, 3 teams left. Take Flight, SPS, and Alliance. Huge 3P from Alliance here, manages to procure a couple more KP right there. Zone actually ends really close to them. They can just play underneath that platform, and as long as they can hold and force other teams to fight, they're looking for a very clean 3P into the endgame to potentially close out the game. However, SPS on the other side of the things are a full team.

02:45:13 The other team that you said, Take Flight, I'm not too sure that they're actually a full team. I believe they're a duo, are looking to just hope that they get second potentially, but that shouldn't realistically happen. You Take Flight, I'm just gonna confirm that, are a duo. And they've got Catalyst and Ash. No Sparrow, who was their third. So a lot of mobility, a lot of safety, a lot of stall. Oh, Alliance.

02:45:41 Oh!

02:45:50 Oh, Trey!

02:46:20 Their own second win of the day.

02:46:48 down on SPS, open it up for him to get second place, which they're probably happy with. Three kills, not that much. Nine placement points, so very good. This was academically the right play from Take Flight. Yeah. They notice that there's a down on the one team in front of them. They go, all right.

02:47:04 Let's go for this. It's our best shot. And again, really good stall from them. Alliance's seven kill points is going to keep them in the conversation around the top spot, but I don't think it'll be enough to actually take over from Roadhouse so far today. Alliance have got to have another one of these in their bag in order to push them into the number one spot on the leaderboard compared to Take Flight and SPS.

02:47:28 All around similar numbers. Like you said, Take Flight having to play a little bit more passive as a duo. Didn't get quite as much damage, quite as many kills. But looking at the overall results, after five games, Roadhouse do in fact still lead the pack. That game from Alliance, not quite enough to push them up to first place. Six points between Bay and Roadhouse. Evos coming up right behind. And Evos, I think a big surprise to be top three with the way that they have been playing.

02:47:55 Ich meine, es geht nicht mehr, aber es geht nicht mehr. Ich meine, es geht nicht mehr, wenn ihr seid confident, wenn ihr seid confident, und ihr geht es weiter, und ihr geht es weiter. Ich liebe es, weil das confidence ist wirklich was du brauchen. Und du musst also wissen, dass wenn wir in Groups vs. Groups spielen, bevor wir in Grand Finals gehen, ist alles über die Lobby und die Möglichkeit, dass du...

02:48:20 So, like, you just have to adapt into these matches and into these lobbies as well, and then make it happen. And, you know, speaking of making it happen, we'll have to see what happens coming up, leading into later on. We'll take a short break for now, but we'll be right back with you.

02:49:23 We are on the road to declaring a champion for match day number four here in Emya. And right now it is a tight race. Only six points separating Alliance and Roadhouse. With Roadhouse in the lead, both teams have two wins so far. And last game belonged to Alliance. And I want to take a look at how it happened.

02:51:44 Ich meine, das war großartig. Sie spielen das Haus sehr, sehr früh. Sie waren sehr glücklich mit dem Bins, sogar in dieser Zone. Wir sehen die Bins, da mit dem Ramp Walls, auf der westen Seite. Sie sind nur Spamming Utility, jetzt. Sie machen es hier. Das macht es hier. Und das macht es für Take Flight 2, Take-It-To-A-2 vs. SPS-A-2 auf die Lowground. After Effect goes down, das macht es nicht, denn Unlucky ist bereit, mit dem Reset auf der Bubble von Gibby.

02:52:13 This makes it into an easy clean-up with the 3P from height to down below. And Dash is a phenomenal way of closing out games. And you have to understand that sometimes we like to say that, you know, all it was to 3P the last fight to close out the games. There are plenty of teams that are having hard times closing out these games. And they should be winning, but they can't. But Alliance is not one of them. They always manage to close out their games.

Allianz und Roadhouse kämpfen um die Führung, während Cybercats überraschen

02:52:34

02:52:34 Und wir sahen das mit viel der Konservative play die Allianz gab uns in den letzten paar Jahren, nicht bis sie sind, bis sie waren die letzte 3rd party. Es hat uns die zwei Wien so far gewonnen. Roadhouse, in der Mitte ist die KP von Roadhouse. Das ist die große Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Gruppen. Der Moment ist das 6th und finalen Spiel des Jahres. Wir haben keine Rampart.

02:52:59 I mean, I'm happy if you pick up Gibby, I'm happy if you pick up Catalyst, because I always like to see those endgames play out, because it really...

02:53:27 Es hat eine gute Auswirkung in den Spielen, wenn du Legend in den Compositions sehen kannst. Und wenn du Katalist in den Spielen hast, alle Endgames sind immer sehr unterschiedlich. Wenn du Katalist in den Spielen hast, die in den Wurzspot in den Spielen endstellt. Aber wenn du Katalist in den Spielen hast, dann kann die Spiele in den Wurzspot in den Spielen weitergehen. Und jetzt die Spiele, die nicht Katalist haben, sind die Spiele in den Wurzspot in den Spielen gestern.

02:53:55 He just mixes things up so unpredictably, and it's so much fun. Welcome to match number six. It is our time to decide who's coming out on top of today. Or rather, it is these teams' time to declare who will take the crown for the final game of match day number four. And ultimately, of the match day overall, Alliance just those six points behind and starting where they are comfortable. I'm gonna ask...

02:54:25 Und zu sagen, dass sie das POI haben, um Nordpad oder Trident zu spielen, für viele, viele Spiele. Jeder hat Angst, dass sie sie hier haben. Es ist kein Verzweck, dass sie hier haben. Und wenn ihr euch mit dem Macro kommt, dass sie auch in Ring 1 sind.

02:54:43 Ich meine, das ist die schreckliche Sache, dass wenn du ein P.U.I., dass du ein P.U.I. bist bereit für, wenn das passiert ist, aber wenn du die Power Houses hast, die Mechanical-Effekt, mit Unlucky, alle sehr starken Mechanical-Effekt sind, und sie sind bereit für jeden Fall für dich. Oder du, als ein Team, der nicht das P.U.I. all die Zeit, bereit für dich zu nehmen, dass du nicht das Spiel zu spielen und dann vielleicht ein Doughnut hast?

02:55:08 Das ist nicht was viele Teams zu tun. Auch auf Land haben wir viele Power Houses gesehen, weil diese Teams sind Power Houses für eine Grunde. Jetzt, zu sehen, Dissone, aber eher nach Downbeast, sehr interessant zu sagen, weil die Lions so far, wie wir in den anderen Games gesehen haben, haben wir, ich würde sagen, Mid-Spiel, aber sogar slower. Almost edge-play, ich würde sagen, zu dem Degere.

02:55:36 Und wenn sie wirklich wollen das in diesem Spiel wollen, Allianz kann einfach nur auf dem Weg gehen. Weil sie eine Ring-Konsole haben, sie können für Zone 3-Knowledge spielen und mehr von diesem Po. Sie können nicht mehr zu gehen. Unlike Killer Whales und Evos, die... Surprise, surprise! Just kidding, niemand ist zufrieden. Sie kämpfen sich wieder auf der South Side auf der Map. Coastal Camp ist der Platz zu sein. Und remember Cybercats showed up hier letzte Mal? Ich bet die Cybercats, ich glaube wir sie auf dem Map haben, sind bereits zu gehen.

02:56:06 in Game 5. CyberCats, cats currently licking their mouth because they are ready to jump in at any meal that shows up for them. However, KillerWins have been struggling right now, but it is actually Evos that catches the backs right there. CyberCats catches them right behind them and gets MG Clutch down right there. KillerWins is going to be very happy because they are currently sitting in 20th, hoping to potentially get some KP because right now, if you're in 20th, you need to drop an axe.

02:56:33 Das Team war in 3rd place und sie sind in 20th für den finalen Spiel. Wir sehen, wie weit sie fallen. Cybercats, bereits hoping für ein bisschen mehr. May just take out Evos und also take out Killer Whales, mit der Nox going, als sie so far sind. Lifeline nicht going to do sie a whole lot of good. Zeus auf White Shield.

02:57:01 Er läuft von Alanzia, aber nicht weit entfernt. Bongo the Last Alive, und Killer Whales will fall. Die Cybercats, die Schroo-Prenatoren, hier in der South Side von Stormpoint. Der Punch finishes ihn auf. Killer Whales sind aus, und Cybercats sind auf der Prowl. Killer Whales haben sich über die ganze Zeit gescheitert. Ich hoffe, sie bekommen es wieder zurück in die Zukunft. Jetzt, FaZe Clan.

02:57:29 Ich glaube, es ist auf ihn, ich glaube. Es ist auf ihn, Synetik, auch mit dieser Anzahl von HP, wo er ein Pump bekommt, kann man nicht auswählen, als er fast hat. Wir werden sehen, wie dieses Spiel geht, aber es hat sich jetzt schon mal wieder auswählen. Potenzial wird ein Reset, wenn er also fällt. Oh, nevermind.

02:57:55 Their deathboxes littering the floor by Stormcatcher. And I'm sure Passion wondering what on earth went on up there. Baseclan, another one of the teams that had managed to get the same POI that they played last time. They landed Lightning Rod in the last A-B match. Now they get Lightning Rod again, and this time managed to make it work to the tune of some early KP. But Stormpoint really has not been their map. They started off really well in match number one, making it pretty far. But since then...

02:58:24 They just had a difficult time controlling where and when they fall. Notably, Alliance. Chosen to take a riskier path. Remember we mentioned they could stay up by North Path, could play for Third Ring Beacon? They didn't end up doing that.

02:58:38 I mean, sometimes you kind of question it as well. Do they have enough resources to stay here, potentially? It's the real question, because we're used to seeing that on purple armors and ready to fight anything and everything. But when they're in triple blue, it's going to be a little bit different. But walking in early as well, when you have spots that, well, when you have so to pulse into downed beast, it has a lot of room to make plays like this, because it's very easy to have your own space here. I feel like there's, when you have a spot, the space that you have is a lot larger.

02:59:08 Dann, zum Beispiel, wenn du in der Gebäude anstattst, ist die Gebäude, in Downed Beast, hast du viel mehr Platz. So, ein guter Workout.

02:59:34 Ich glaube, es ist nicht so groß, dass sie eigentlich able to collect kills, dass sie aus dem Checkpoint oder even Wallen kommen. Das ist ein schreckliches Punkt über diese Doughnuts, dass wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, wenn man die Doughnuts versucht, dass die Doughnuts in der Doughnut, wo ich glaube, Legion Gaming könnte sein, ist...

02:59:58 You have to hope that they are currently in a fight or looking at another team, because if not, you're gonna get shot in your back and when you have this current strength of the weapons of the likes of Charge Rifle and Peter, it's gonna be really hard. However, they are sitting very comfortably in the next zone as it indeed does pull the down beast. A lot of these teams are very happy that already have these select few spots, as other teams will have to fight for something. We see the likes of Endors and U-Aim currently sitting in the south, needing to hold out other teams, or are they gonna opt to rotate?

03:00:27 Absolutely sure that Endurus got Ring 3 scan. 07, not so lucky at the checkpoint, but they may inherit a few KP for their trouble. And the low ground Myosin is one shot. Let's take a listen with 07, see how they approach the fight.

03:00:44 Okay, ich hab dich. Ich hab dich. Ich hab dich. Ich hab dich. Ich hab dich. Ich hab dich. Ich hab dich. Ich hab dich.

03:01:17 Wir spielen jetzt zusammen, jetzt nicht... Zero Teams are wrong, Zero Teams are wrong, es ist free.

03:01:50 We're in 4th coming into the game. 3rd's now been taken out. Every killpoint, every fight, every placement matters. 4-0-7. And they are the only team now in checkpoint since they have, of course, eliminated the competition. F.U.L. No longer part of this one. With Killer Whales, Onik and Evos gone. It leaves us with 16 squads left. S.J.P. 2.

03:02:12 Now, eyeing their prey, as Take Flight right ahead could be the next step on the chopping block if SJP2 don't get pinched on a rotate. Yeah, with the zone slowly closing in, that's where as well Zipbine Mafia trying to reset with that knowledge, but it's gonna be very hard as he's getting chased down by nobody else than Cybercatch right now. I would like to say, though, I hope that the teams that are coming in from checkpoint side do play that side from the choke, because we tend to see a lot of teams opting to go more towards downbeast.

03:02:40 A lot of the time, actually, you're kind of safe playing from this choke-in checkpoint as well. And then there's also evac spots and stuff like that to get over the wall. I like to call that a very adaptable spot. So I hope to see that's the way they play because even though you have the, what should I say, the foot on the paddle loving to take fights and you are winning these 3v3s, sometimes knowing when to play fast and also sometimes knowing when to slow it down a little bit is very important because like you said, every single point matters right now because they are inching up towards that top 3 right now.

03:03:09 Und wirklich sah das matter nach dem Süden mit Killer Whales. Hmm. Knowing, für sie, wie zu gehen, von fast zu slow, von slow zu fast. Cybercats, wir spielen.

03:03:21 Das war sehr schnell in der ersten Zeit. Es war gut für sie. Jetzt haben sie geholfen, sie schauen, wie 07 sind, als wir zurück zum Checkpoint zurückkommen. Unfortunately, mit Atoms down, Faze haben einen Teil aus 07 genommen und Faze sind auch desperate für Punkte. In einer sehr anderen Story zu 07, sie sind nicht für die Wün, Faze sind zu kommen.

03:03:44 Yeah, most definitely. I think that they're happy, though, because they actually got out on one side each. This should opt for a reset from either person, hopefully, as all of them are now currently chasing one of them up north towards that rest beacon. They're looking for him, but they don't know if they want to go or not. Let's just wait for the next zone and then see where we'll head, because they're most likely going to play from checkpoint side, I hope, here.

03:04:06 Und jetzt für ein bisschen klarer, Faze placed in der ersten zwei Matchdayen 7th und 7th. Jetzt sind sie 14th. Sie starten dieses Spiel an 15th. Sie haben 24 Punkte und 8th, jetzt sind sie 35. So sie haben viele Punkte zu machen, über 10, bis sie anstehen können. Die Cybercats sind gut, wiederholen die Klauen. Wir haben weiterhin die Klauen auf den Rest des Lobbys.

03:04:33 Sie haben noch eine Knot, diese Zeit auf dem U-Aim. Sie sind nicht so gut, wie sie sich jetzt befinden. Sie haben auch eine Konsole hier, zu spüren, wo der nächste Ring ist, um uns weiter und weiter zu Downed Beast, wo ich muss sagen, dass Roadhouse gerade sitzt.

03:04:55 Es wird schwierig, aber ich würde sagen, Cybercast, als wir schon gesehen haben, war ein Placement-Habbing-Team mit nicht mehr Kills. Jetzt ist es auf dem Off-Tit-Side, wo sie viel mehr zu tun haben. Ich glaube, es ist gut, denn es gibt einige Spiele, wo man nicht mehr zu spielen kann. Aber so far haben wir nicht so viele Punkte aus dem. Aber wir wissen auch, dass eine große, große, große Spiel ist all es braucht, so es könnte passieren.

03:05:25 Certainly true, Uaim, however, not going to get that chance. A tough exit for a squad that has otherwise been performing quite well during the course of at least the first round robin. Seems like the second round robin not off to as kind of start as Uaim currently sits sixth and will likely drop a few places before this game is done. 07 get their respawn, however, still a fighting chance to claw their way up to third and perhaps beyond.

03:05:54 Will Roadhouse play defense? The champions so far. We'll see how far they make it. And champions right there. Team that is currently sitting in top 407 gets the reset. He will also make it through and choke pretty safe. So they should be fine. But they're also running into about 3-4 teams right there. As he's getting charge rifle behind. He is made through. He lives there. That's crazy.

03:06:19 Oh, und Kasherra geht. Das ist einfach. Ich glaube, du kannst alles haben. Es gibt noch eine Chance, als Nasky geht ein bisschen mit der PK. Quick Ult, um mehr Zeit zu holen. Vielleicht um Kasherra zu holen. Ich denke, Nasky selbst ist immer noch entscheidend. Ultimately, wird hier sitzen, auch in der Barrage von Gibraltar.

03:06:41 Play the knockdown shield and move a little further forward. Natsuki is in zone, but can 07 survive? SJP2 have been taken out and take flight. Really want to finish these kills. Hanuki looks for the angles, but I don't think he knows that Natsuki is here. Natsuki may be able to reset.

03:06:59 Und Faze will fall at the same time. Nom go down as well, 10 squads left.

03:07:27 Und wir haben unsere 3rd-Place, 4th-Place, 5th-Place, 6th-Place-Team. Oh nein, unsere 6th-Place-Team ist eigentlich schon in hier. Passchner ist noch auf. Und Empire, vielleicht auch ein paar mehr aus, als Take Flight haben bereits fallen. Re45 ist in einer Bubble-Fight. Nicht so gut als die Peacekeeper. Und Empire hat eine gute Use von dem.

03:07:50 You ultimately end up going down, being shot in the back as the Gibby Bubbles expire. Roadhouse helped collect some of those kills, certainly put in the damage. Aku gets at least one with the 30-30. That's one kill on the board for Roadhouse, who already led the pack. I mean, that's exactly what we talked about earlier. If you fight there, you have to have your back safe, either by Gibby Bubble, either by any sort of... any sort of...

03:08:15 Es gibt einen Katz-Wall, ein Gamer-Wall, es gibt nichts, denn sonst werden wir in den Backen werden. Und wenn man ein Snipe ist, ist ein Piercer, Peter, ein Char-Trafler und ein Scout. Es ist nicht so viel zu reagieren, wenn man dann sofort auf den Kopfschmerzen kann. Allianz sitzt neben der Spieler, der für die Top-Wall. Du sagst es vorhin, die zwei Titans sind jetzt, um zu sehen, wer ist auf der Top-Wall.

Allianz sichert sich den Tagessieg, Cybercats überraschen im Finale

03:08:37

03:08:37 Und wir holen noch einen von diesen. Der Trident Bubble Rotate kommt aus Allianz. Und es sollte direkt in die Rodehouse nehmen. Ja, das macht es. No Bubble jetzt. Allianz ist jetzt als ein nebenher zu Rodehouse. Die Chance zu nehmen. Ihr Competition ist hier für beide Gruppen. Aber Rodehouse Extend ist für ein paar mehr Kills. Allianz ist jetzt laser-focused auf Rodehouse. Du hast ihn zurück in die Rodehouse.

03:09:03 They got that slope and playing outside right by the walls. It's actually a really good spot because you also saw them right there. The other team trying to zip line out of there. That means Alliance has their backs cleared right now. They just need to hold this down and then potentially walk up with the wall to see if they can find anything playable. But they have to play small for the moment. They're looking to see if they can force a fight potentially in the building because in the building they shouldn't get thirded. Legion Gaming, however, lurking right next doors in that small building as well.

03:09:31 Und ja, wenn du das fight hast, musst du es schnell machen. Currently... ...6 points. Oh! ...Separate diese Teams, und oh mein lord! Mit der Nade, die genug ist! Allianz, Eskort Akku aus dem Lobby. Das ist eine Mitglieder von Roadhouse Down. Kann sie übernehmen? No. Incessant push von Allianz, die nicht geben will.

03:09:55 Even with the Maggi Trail in their face, Alliance are looking for more kills. If they take Roadhouse out here, surely they can grab first place. Rough moment for Roadhouse right there as he gets skynated and that puts his momentum straight out the door. Immediately he gets thirsted and Alliance is now in a 3v2 if they want to take this fight to blast and Lufka in the building. However, they should just look for the next play. They have that rock in front of them that he could potentially play for a little bit. However...

03:10:23 Top-down Beach right now looking to poke them as well. So they're opting for that 3v2 indoors instead. Double is good. Like you said, Alliance know their safety does lie in here. With the Knuckle Cluster grabbing a knock on Blast. This should be the end of the road for Roadhouse. Alliance have three members left and a Maggy Drill poses no issues. That is yet another kill going Alliance's way. And while Roadhouse are still technically alive.

03:10:49 It is a Solo, playing his life for as long as he can. Outgo Alliance with the Trident Bubble and a boost into Zone. A Zone that is pulling us just to the south of Downed Beast. Will the Trident be enough cover? As the Bubble will expire soon. Ult from Gibby buys them a little bit more time. Stinger Bolt, however, finds a couple of Nox and Alliance lose one, but Roadhouse go down. Alliance still alive. This is a game of points and with Alliance going down.

03:11:16 I do not know if they managed to get enough points to top Roadhouse. We'll have to find out towards the end of the game. As right now, it is a Cybercats story. They've run the south side of the map so far. But having lost one, it could be the end of the road for them as well. Ranches is running for the cover of the Trident. And Cybercats' journey has been cut short. Getting walled out by Lesion. Cybercats do grab one more KP. Maybe make it another. Ranches can clutch this.

03:11:45 He is getting covered indeed as SPS pushes and eliminates Legion Gaming right there.

03:12:09 Ratch is very happy with that. Managed to get a couple extra points on the board. After pinching a line, they actually got mirrored and then got forced to move out. Coming down to a Solar Rat now for Sarpikens. However, the zone is ending on the Rat. If he can survive somehow by Citadel Gaming holding out SPS, we're looking at a potential top two if he's really lucky, but most likely top three. We'll have to see now as Endors is starting to move out. If they can find Ratch as SPS right now gets...

03:12:36 Er ist absolut demolished, als Cyberkast wird in den Top 3 als Solo gewonnen. Mit ein paar KP. Er ist jetzt geblieben. Und er hat ihn übernommen. Und er hat ihn übernommen.

03:12:48 Heading for 50 flesh, Endorse still don't push this, and Branches chooses to save the ult. He's made it into top 3. Has Clawed Cybercat's way into 15th place overall? How much further can you make it? You want a top 10, but it may not be your decision. Remember, Endorse, they've still got a Gibby to just bubble at you and end your life, and that may very well be their decision.

03:13:13 Das ist ein Knoll bei Ranches! Vielleicht ist ein Knoll über die Cybercats, als Ranches ist der Hero für alle Cybercats.

03:13:28 Wrenches ist die Hero we've known all along. He's so high! Getting Nox and forcing Utils. Can he make it into top 2 as he's currently in a 1v2? Trying to force the Noxdars shields off of them. Praying that the team above doesn't just fall down on him. Can he get to top 2? Citadel will want this win. Wrenches has the shield swaps. Hits 1. Citadel will have to drop down soon. Who will they choose?

03:13:53 Ranches is playing slow, playing silent. He's got the Trident, out goes the EMP. Ranches will hit the bat just in time to get back to fold, but Endorse want to end this now. Pushing forward, it is about their bubble timing. Endorse will have this up soon. Catwall for Citadel, leave Cybercats isolated. Endorse finish the fight, and Citadel have to swing through. Citadel, who want this win, will rip it out of the hands of Endorse as they drop down from Downed Beast and claim the win in Game 6.

03:14:20 Nice double mossy peek through the wall right there. They did huge amount of damage after they dropped down below to clean up that game. Very good play for them. We actually didn't see too much of the POV from Citadel Gaming. That did not take away from the fact that we saw them bully so many people in that lobby from on top of that down B. They were shooting at everybody. Yeah, that was just a really good position for them. I like that they held on to it for as long as possible. I think you see a lot of teams tempted to go down there.

03:14:47 und einfach nur die Fights selbst. Aber sie hat die Lobby gespielt und Glitter gespielt. Es war wirklich clean für den Wynn auf Citadel. Und ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich...

03:15:01 I was, too. I mean, he was utilizing everything in the boxes that he could find. Grabbed every single nade, was ready for the shield swaps. I mean, talk about one of the most obnoxious rats that you could possibly have in that situation. And they net 13 kills because of it. But at the end of the day, it was Citadel Gaming, that high ground advantage.

03:15:28 Ich meine, das war einfach eine sehr lustige Weise zu enden, GraceBall.

03:15:36 Citadel needed the points to push themselves further up the leaderboards. Again, every day matters, but my real focus was Alliance and Roadhouse, and Alliance by three points did not take Roadhouse out of first place, and that has got to sting, knowing that you took out two members of Roadhouse, didn't quite finish that last kill, and got taken up a little early. Also, big surprise to me, Evos, despite being eliminated in literally 20th place, don't drop a single spot.

03:16:07 Also 07 in 4th, you had even chatted them out graceful saying they still had a really good day

03:16:33 Even if that last match maybe wasn't what they were hoping for. Really consistent, only one point behind Evos there. So on a very solid top four for our series results as we get to take a look now to what that means for our overall standings.

03:16:48 Mit dem Endeffekt, Allianz wird in 1st place 10 Punkte über. 61 Punkte in total für Allianz. Und Sie sehen, welche Teams müssen noch eine Serie gespielt werden, um sich selbst mit allen anderen. Notablich, Sie haben GoNext nur noch 2. NBMI nur noch 2, und sie finden sich in den Top 10 hier. Ja, GoNext hat sich die Team du hast, weil wenn sie nur zwei Serie gespielt haben, und sie sind Top 5 in der Liga, wenn...

03:17:16 everybody else around them has played three series yeah that that's the squad that you are looking to overtake and we'll have the opportunity to in the next two days as we'll be completing our next round robin especially tomorrow marking the halfway point throughout the split is very very exciting news especially for the teams that will get to play again

03:17:39 That's why we keep saying that these doubleheader weekends really progress these storylines quite quickly. So it'll be interesting to see how tomorrow goes for those teams. But let's give a little bit of love here to an individual, okay? Because...

03:17:54 Ich bin eigentlich sehr interessiert zu sehen, wie das alles geschickt ist. Es ist Zeit für unsere Sony Endzone Kill Leader Race. Ich will sehen, wer auf der Topf der Leaderboard ist, weil wir ein sehr starkes Individual-Gameplay gesehen haben. Und es ist! After Roadhouse's Pop-Off-Performance, wir haben Akku auf der Topf mit 15 Kills, aber Nasky mit 15 Tying that! Ich meine, ein bisschen sleeper Situation. Das ist...

03:18:19 Impressive and we're doing tiebreaker off of Knox. Akio had 23, Nasky had 20. I mean graceful, it doesn't get any closer than that.

03:18:26 It does not, but we saw that level of play from Aku throughout the entire day, you know, from that god spot on World's Edge as well. He was just phenomenal on, right, exactly what I'm talking about. Right here on that raid, making so much impact, getting those initial downs, and even when he gets caught off guard later on, he still managed to turn the table on the opposing enemy, and he's just been shooting so well today, and I'm so happy to see that team, team in general being synergized to that extent that they have been, because I always see this, the same, the same basic...

03:18:56 Das ist ein Grund, das ist ein Grund, das ist ein Grund, das ist ein Grund, das ist ein Grund.

03:19:23 Yeah, honestly, the more we kind of get to see these individualized stats, Dia, the more impressed I am with just so many different performances throughout the day. Yeah, this was fantastic out of Aku, and again, I'm really curious about this Gibby pivot, because ultimately...

03:19:41 Ja, und wir...

03:20:11 I have highlighted how important that flexibility is ever since the implementation of these legend bands and how players need to really be able to flex into a lot of different legends, sometimes different roles, depending on the map. There's so many different variables that they have to think of now in comparison to old school ALGS. But now it is time for us to hear from the winners directly themselves, because I believe we've got Aku standing by ready to chat with us after the win.

03:20:38 Okay, first of all, congratulations. What an insane performance from you guys here today. I kind of want to get your thoughts on that because you went from ninth on Match Day 1, then fifth, now to winning the whole day in an absolutely dominant fashion. So what went right for you guys today?

03:20:57 Hallo, ja, vielen Dank. Ich denke, von dem ersten Tag, mit dem ersten Projekt, wir hatten 9. Es war Lufka's ersten IGN-ing, wirklich. Und wir haben noch ein paar Sachen gemacht.

03:21:11 A lot of things went bad for us as well. And we're just a brand new team that played together. So the synergy was at the start a bit struggling. But from time to time, it always went better in scrims. And we saw the results in Pro League as well. It always went better and better, as we saw 9th, 5th, and now we've won. So shout out to my teammates. They were playing very good. I mean, you guys did play some very impressive Apex Legends today. I need to ask, and I may have a misconception about Game 4.

03:21:38 In Game 4, your first game on Stormpoint, you didn't have Beacon, right? You didn't get a Ring Console. Yeah, no. No, we didn't have Beacon. Like, yeah. Like, you're changing compositions. I was pointing this out. You don't have Rotational Legend, right? You're not running Wraith. You're transitioning to Gibraltar. So how did you end up playing such a great game in Game 4 without having Ring Console information and with no portals?

03:22:05 Okay, so we went to Mill, and we saw Ring 1, and it was like very, like you could have seen on Ring 1, that it could be a Barrow Zone, so we decided to like drive toward the nut, like before Barrow, and we saw like two teams or three teams landing into Barrow, and then it was like Shure already, okay, it's gonna be a Barrow Zone, so we worked our way in from the nut into Barrow, we took a free spot, and yeah, the rest we saw.

03:22:33 Es ist wirklich gut, von PowerSpot zu PowerSpot. Und manchmal gibt es nicht die Beacon-Knowledge, weil, als du gesagt hast, du hast einige Teamsters gesehen. So ein paar Teamsters zu holen. Aber eine Sache ich möchte, Akku, ist, dass wir gesehen haben, wenn ich dich speziell habe, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, wir gesehen haben, die Entry-Fragger, und auch an Alter, du warst sehr komfortabel. Und jetzt, wenn wir gesehen haben, Gibby, es ist nicht Ihr fault, dass du nicht getrennt, weil Gibby das Job ist, nicht zu bekommen, die Entry-Fragger sind, als er kommt, um ein Schritz-Bubble-Fight.

03:23:01 Do you feel a lot more comfortable on characters that have the role of entry fragging? And is that something you guys are going to look into? Because when we got to see your POV at least, you were doing such a good job on Wraith, getting that cracker even down, queuing out, and then your team went for the triple swing. And seeing that success over and over again, like right here, as we see on the clip, is something I think is really fun to see and really good, well played from you. And I was just wondering if you guys have any thoughts about that, or are you guys going to keep to the same...

03:23:29 das ihr habt gerade jetzt, wo ihr nur mit Frontliner spielt? Ist es um Welt's Edge oder um Legend Bands? Das ist die Frage. Es ist wirklich um Legend Bands. Aber es ist nicht wirklich Map-Dependent, ob ich die Entry fragt oder nicht.

03:23:46 But overall, I'm having a lot of fun playing Rafe. And to be honest, my job is just to go in, do damage, then queue a bit out so my teammates can both refrag. And I think we did a great job with that today. So I think we're going to stick with what we have right now. Nice. I like that a ton. Now, Aku, I want to ask one more quick question before we let you go, because we talked about it a lot during the cast today. There were so many moments where you guys just looked so...

03:24:16 Like anytime you would potentially get pushed by someone who might be panicking, you would guys just kind of would look at them and be like, so is that the choice you're really making? We're going to let you do. Okay. And you just looked so unflappable the whole time. And you're saying that, yeah, sure, you're a new roster, but you're after today, you're not playing like a new roster together. So how did you nail down that synergy in such a short amount of time?

03:24:41 Wir haben so viele Vorderreus gemacht und haben so viele Blöck-Off-Strims jeden Tag zusammengearbeitet und haben alles gezeigt, dass wir uns falsch gesehen haben. Wir haben schnell herausgearbeitet, wie wir sehr gut spielen können und ich denke, dass beide meine Team-Mitglieder sind. Ich denke, dass beide sind wirklich, wirklich gut. Und ich weiß nicht, was wir gemacht haben, dass wir gewonnen haben.

03:25:05 I know we just played good, but to have that synergy, I don't really know what we did. We just played a lot together and we somehow figured out how to play together. We did a lot of Vaudeville and just scrimmed a lot and played Rank. Well, it absolutely worked. You guys looked incredible today. So congratulations one more time on the win. And I'm sure we'll be speaking to you in the future. Thank you for having me. Cheers.

03:25:32 Literally, I don't think he could have tied in your storyline any more perfectly, saying that all of that synergy is due to the VOD review. All down to the VOD review, figuring out how they worked as a team. Did you put that idea in his head? Did you get your final thoughts on the day? I mean, that was a lot of fun. I will not be PayPalling him later, but I think we can work something out. I do think that the...

03:25:56 Das ist ein Punkt, dass er über Waderville, über Constantly Practicing und speziell die Weise Roadhouse haben, sehr, ich will nicht sagen, linearly, aber es ist einfach linear. 9th, 5th, 1st ist almost equivalent jumps every day. Und die Fakt, dass sie das able zu tun hat, ist wirklich starten zu highlighten die Teams, die zu adaptieren, als die Matchdays gehen, und die, auch gegen die gleichen Gruppen, auf verschiedenen Maps, lernen.

03:26:20 who's around them and how to work best within each other and should ultimately lead them to success in the regional finals and perhaps beyond. So I'd say keep your eyes on Roadhouse because given their performance today, it's clear that they still have things to improve on and they're going to be going back to VOD review. But if we're looking at them now in first place and going, yeah, well, your ceiling is clearly higher, that's a very good thing. Absolutely graceful. Your favorite things from today, big takeaways, thoughts.

03:26:48 I think that seeing how teams are playing very proactively, very early on, especially tied around chokes with teams like, you know, we saw Alliance and then we saw Empire do very well. All of these teams are showcasing their abilities to, I feel like we've almost gotten to a point where like...

03:27:03 Have we ever said that somebody has bad macro in the longest time now? I feel like the level of these teams in this tournament is just so high. And with the ever-changing stuff of like, sometimes you don't get to see it because you get too tapped by Peter, but typically all of these teams are just evolving. And as you said as well, I think the best way for you at home to evolve, maybe not do double block of scrims into VOD review, but maybe a little bit of rank session into a little bit of VOD review. You know, before you win, when you snack in a little bit, you watch, hey, what could I have done better a little bit? And that's how you improve and seeing all of them say sometimes,

03:27:32 Es klickt. Wir haben es praktisch gemacht und es klickt. Und das könnte jemanden passieren. Ich bin froh, dass sie in die Zeit und die Effort sind, und sie werden sich rewardedet. Weil es manchmal, wenn man so viel Zeit und Effort hat, man kann es nicht sehen, dass man die Resultate will. Aber wenn man sieht es passieren, ist es ein schönes Ding.

03:27:48 Absolutely. And we also appreciate both of your time and effort here today. Fantastic job casting our games as always. We're going to say goodbye to you for now, give you a little bit of break before we get into more action because we're not done for the day.
