Einleitung und Überblick über den Match Day 8 der ALGS Pro League
00:04:55
00:04:55 Welcome Legends, how are we doing today? It is Match Day 8, and that means that we begin with one of our final days before we decide who is going to land. And of course, who's even going to be in our regional finals to seal the deal officially. Everything counts. Every kill matters. Every rotation could be what books your ticket.
00:05:19 Without further ado, let's get started. My name is Randy, I'll be your host, and I'm joined by not three, if you saw Mia, but two of my friends who you saw earlier and even better casters. Of course, we've got Vicky Kitty here. Vicky, Match Day 8, North America, big names, but even bigger stakes. Last day, too, for Group A to really perform. A lot of teams on the cusp, Randy, and I cannot wait to see the action play out before the Regional Finals.
00:05:45 Speaking of Regional Finals, that's the goal. If you wanted to know what was important about today, everyone is focused on that. That's the next step, Dia. And as we're so happy to welcome you back on broadcast, I want to get your thoughts on what could be a very important, decisive day for some of our teams.
00:06:01 It very much is, and as you say, with things coming to a close, with your last chances being on the line to avoid relegation from the regular split, I'm also really keenly focused on how North America continues to explore Season 20. We had a lot of the same being picked by many teams in our last two matchdays. Will Matchday 8 bring something different? That's what I'm here to find out.
00:06:24 I'm going to save a lot of that conversation for when we all get a chance to cast and work through these games, because there's just so much to talk about and dive in in Season 20. If you don't know, where have you been? All the new perks, 100 perks added to Apex Legends in Season 20. It's been incredible in-game, and I'm sure we'll see you there. And of course, it's been great for our Pro League as well. During this time, though, not only are we at a new season, we've had some changes. So getting into that, we want to update with you on what has occurred that maybe you might have missed.
00:06:52 We've seen some roster adjustments, and we have seen some name adjustments. Cream are now Empire. I like the way it's spelled. I like the logo. Somebody makes logos in esports so fast. I don't know who they are, but it's like a new one every 30 seconds. Empire, formerly known as Cream, will be what they are represented as now, as well as when we look at some teams that didn't change their name, but changed their roster.
00:07:17 We can see how iShiny joins GKS as a coach. And Skirt dropped Albrelele. We mentioned that he retired. He wrote a whole thing on X about it. And Depressley joins in his place. So this will be the new look of how Skirt can hopefully keep going this season and make things happen. But of course, what we've kind of mentioned before is that this is...
00:07:43 A lot of changes happened in Season 20, maybe a little bit more than we're used to. Some teams have adapted really well. Some teams are picking up pace, and they need to. Because as it stands, here's the overview of what we're looking at for the placements in North America. Dark Zero, as you can see on the very left-hand side, are the only team that have officially qualified for...
00:08:05 One of the cool things about it, though, is that Complexity after winning on Match Day 7, if they do it again, probably, probably will join them as well. But LG Moist rounding out that top 10 with Legacy finishing that. Furia dropping Gaming Disguise. They're kind of in the middle, and they could make a few moves today to get that spot secured, or at least, as you can see in that.
00:08:26 Box down below the Regional Finals guaranteed. Some teams, though, they're just fighting for a spot in Pro League and some hopefully trying to avoid relegation. Those would be our teams on that back right side of it. The thing is, we will fill this out throughout the tournament of today and probably before you see it in our Regional Finals to give you up-to-date references on who's done what, who's secured. That way you all are aware of it. But I also want to talk about those three teams.
00:08:55 Vielleicht nicht alle, aber einige von ihnen. Vicky, wenn wir auf Lande schauen, diese drei Teams sind auf jeden Fall. Absolut, wir wissen, dass diese Teams haben Raum zu messen, jetzt zu versuchen, andere Option für den Tag. Und zwei dieser Teams...
00:09:09 im Gruppe A. Heute ist das letzte Mal für die Punkte. Und wenn ihr wollt, was sie von Season 20 zu testet haben, habt ihr den Raum zu tun. TSM ist jetzt in 5th. Luminosity Gaming, SWEET, die Topik zu bringen, sind jetzt in 3rd. Und Legacy...
00:09:28 Former All-Mexican team that was dropped by Luminosity, now still putting themselves on top, who are currently sitting in 10th place overall, which may not have as much room to breathe as TSM and Luminosity, considering the fact that the top 11 teams and the winner of the regional final advances split win playoffs, but it still allows Legacy to see what they have to do differently since they had to ramp up at the start of the split.
00:09:48 Listen, Omit almost did it in EMEA. They might have won without winning an actual game. It didn't work. TSM, they're in fifth place, but they have yet to win a match day. Will this be the one? You know that Sweet is going to be trying to stop that from happening for sure. Dia, other teams, not worried about playoffs just yet. They're trying to give themselves a chance and have to rely on winning that regional final. Yeah, a lot of big surprises here, I think, to a lot of people who would have expected these squads to be among the top. X said, I think, the biggest.
00:10:18 The biggest focus for people who would have thought that they'd be placing higher at this point in the season. Right now they're sitting around 17th, which is still plenty of time to make it into regional finals comfortably. But they have not had the easiest moment. Even the Group A versus C matchup that we had last time, they did only place.
00:10:37 7th GKS in der letzten Zeit, die zwei Gruppen gespielt haben, aber sie sind in 2nd, in einem starken Kontrast zu woher sie sind in den Ständen, in 9th. Nach dem Qualifizieren durch die Preseason Quals, GKS sind sicherlich ein Team zu halten, obwohl ich ehrlich bin, Ray und Vicky bin, dass ich gerade nach Nathen bin. Sie hatten eine große Übersetzung in ihrer Performance, die letzte Woche haben.
00:11:02 I'm a fan of Rambo. He's got nice hair, and he, Klain, and Luxford are certainly looking good together. Listen, I was going to say, you're getting drawn to it because of the hair. There's no way. I mean, they got a great story as well, but I knew that Dia, that was what was the big deal. And you know what? They've been playing great. Rambo joined us last week. We had a chance to catch up with him. He had said...
00:11:20 They've got some things to figure out, and he wants to work on it. But it's not a solo squad. It's not a solo endeavor. His whole team has to put in that effort and figure it out. That's why we had a chance to talk with Luxford a little bit earlier and see his thoughts on this squad's performance and what they hope to do in the future. Hi, my name's Luxford. I'm a professional player for Native Gaming. My teammates are Rambo and Klain, and our coach is Braden.

00:11:50
00:11:50 Coming from Meatlovers, it was a bit of an adjustment. Because Meatlovers plays more edge playstyle than as native. They play very hard zone, early rotate playstyle. My role on the team is very simple and very easy to me. All I have to do is feed Klein ideas and make sure that when we need to speed up, we speed up. And when we need to slow down, we slow down.
00:12:18 Yeah, going into the match, me and the team talked about the teams that could pass us and the teams around us for us to win the day. Dark Zero and SSG were on those teams on our, I guess, kill board. And those were the teams we were worried about. Going in, if you go into game six, at the end of the game in the end zone, there was a solo across from us. And we identified that it was a solo way too late.
00:12:45 Aber wenn wir ihn ein bisschen earlier haben, dann haben wir ihn gewonnen. Das ist ein bisschen bitter, aber es passiert, aber es passiert für uns.
00:12:57 Me and the team are very confident going into Regional Finals, especially coming off of the great game day that we had. We've just been in the lab, VOD reviewing as a team, making sure we're all on the same page. We have great support from the OR, good backing, so me and the team are very confident going into Regional Finals. Absolutely locked in.
00:13:26 You can tell Luxford is ready to go. And I like the conversation around, I just tell Klain whether we need to speed up or slow down. His job is simple. It feels like sometimes that means you can focus on other things like performing at your best. They've averaged in A versus C about 7.5 points whenever they have played in this lobby matchup. But last time, last match day, they got 18, a third place. Time with Dark Zero. We'll see if they can bump it up and repeat that here in A versus C. I want to talk about the teams.
00:13:55 that need to survive. And by that, the surviving hasn't even begun yet because they aren't in the place to have a chance. We know Native is going to probably be able to see if they can win that regional final, see if there's a way to do it. Some teams, though, they're trying to literally just get in.
00:14:12 The regional final. And that is kind of where I want to leave my focus here for right now. These teams playing today, Meatlover, Sentinels, and FaZe. Tech, Zanile, Zara, three players who we've seen in our league for so long. Tech.
00:14:27 Notoriously saying, everyone knows when I pick a good player up, he's going to get taken soon because I just have an eye for it. He's certainly proven that, but the rotation, like playing Edge a little bit more this season, has not worked to put them in a position to be in the regional final yet. Currently sitting outside at 23rd place. Sentinels and other things. Denial, Archean, and Luda. This is a team that has obviously come together and tried to figure out.
00:14:54 Was ist der beste Weg für uns zu spielen, zu beaggressiv, zu spielen zu zonen? Haben wir das was wir brauchen? Ich denke, das ist ein Team mit viel zu tun, ob es in der Community oder nur in-game ist. Und ich denke, das ist etwas für heute. Wir sehen uns eine große Story, eine große Spotlight aufzunehmen. Und eine andere Team, ich denke, das ist einfach nur ein Surprising. FaZe, Zeratricky, Pander, Snipetown, drei incredible Pros, die Leute in Apex Legends sind und haben die höchste, die höchste, höchste, höchste.
00:15:20 Really close to not being even in that Regional Final to have a chance to get to LAN. So, huge opportunities, huge moments for them. And as we zoom out and see everybody's moment, there's other teams that I haven't even mentioned. Disguised, Furia, all of these teams, alongside Oxygen Esports, who have won Match Day 3, I believe, are going to compete today. It is a star-studded lobby. And of course, you cannot forget.
00:15:49 The TSM's, the XSets. My goodness, it's going to be a fun one today. We've set the story up, but now it's time to see what happens and kick off the first act. So guys, I'm done, but I'm going to leave it over to you. I'll catch up in just a bit. Vicky, Tia, take us away to game one.
00:16:05 Thank you so much Rain Day. Dia, we're back at it again and we get to see NA play out for some of these teams their last match day before the regional final. It is pretty tight knit up there in the overall standings and a pretty impressive lobby too because you're also thinking about fairing up against the likes as we mentioned before. TSM, LG, Moist, Dark Zero. It's going to be crazy to see how this plays out today.
00:16:30 Ja, und es fühlt sich an den Anfang der Saison zu sprechen, wie die Gruppe des Deaths ist. Jetzt sind wir nach dem Ende des Endes, und wir denken über was Teams kann, ob es nicht zu sein, oder ob es nicht zu sein, oder ob es die Stakes weitergeht. Ich bin sehr glücklich, selbstverständlich, weil es so viel Experimentation ist. So viele verschiedene Teams haben...
00:16:52 ...verried reads on what we can do. We saw so much in EMEA, but even here in North America, we talked about Native earlier, they're running Seer, we've got Disguised, who are alternating between running Catalyst and Caustic, and there's just so much yet to figure out.
00:17:07 Yeah, and while we get set up here too, Dia, our first three games are going to be on World's Edge, and that comes into consideration how some of these compositions might come into play for some of these teams. Again, first three games on World's Edge before we make that transition into Stormpoint for our final three games. So the topic here is for a lot of these teams.
00:17:26 Can they stay consistent? We see teams have their pop-off moments where they've been experimenting after Season 20 changes, but they fail to get the dub until the very end of the day, which always leaves us at the edge of our seat, Dia. It's really difficult, especially when the zones impact your ability to place high, get kills, whatever it may be so often. These are just a few of the zones that we've seen throughout our season. As we start piling in even more of them,
00:17:56 Wir haben viele Möglichkeiten für verschiedene Teams zu erreichen. Notabend sind die TRIALS und SKYHOOKZONES, die wir normalerweise nicht sehen können. Das haben wir nicht mehr so viel gehabt haben, und das ist Teil des Spiels nicht mehr so viel zu sehen.
00:18:15 Das ist ein sehr guter Punkt, besonders dass Exit eine solche Teams, die von wirklich großartigen Lüten zwischen Trials und Skyhook kommt und die Rotation, wo viele die Circles sehen, hier zu gehen, um die South-Side zu gehen. Ja, wir haben viele die North-East-Circles gesehen, aber es ist die South-Side, die wir sehen, dass viele die Teams, die von den North-Sides, wirklich durch die Chokes, speziell die Chokes zwischen Staging und Harvester, wo viele die Teams, wie Exit, fallen, wenn sie in die Pinsch fallen.
00:18:42 Now, when we're thinking about how to start the game, where you're going, the biggest focus is going to be on 50-50s, wherever they may be occurring. Take a look up north, where Meat Lovers and Nine Lies will be dropping together at Climatizer. Neither of these teams particularly safe in the overall standings, neither of which had a good day the last time these two groups faced off. Nine Lies finishing in 17th, and Meat Lovers in 20th. But while Meat Lovers has changed their roster, Nine Lies has not. Will that extra synergy actually be enough?
00:19:12 für sie in der Klimatizer Contest.
Frühe Spielzüge und Teamzusammensetzungen auf World's Edge
00:19:15
00:19:15 Or is it too little too late, really, too, considering how you have to work up that synergy once again, especially incorporating the Season 20 changes and the rotation points that Climatizer provides? I mean, we've seen so many different Northern Circles that once you land in Climatizer, you come on top from that 50-50. Not only do you have the Climatizer loot, but you have the option, depending on where the circle pulls, whether you want to go for a quick rotate with the Jump Tower being right there over to Overlook, where you usually have the Beacon if you're lacking that Beacon in Climatizer for whatever reason, or if the Circle does end up pulling...
00:19:44 So more so towards that west side, you could take that back, rotate away from Survey, more towards that monument area. And while we're thinking about places like Climatizer, it's worth noting that in Season 20, Edge POIs that do take up a lot of space, Climatizer, Thermal are really good examples.
00:20:01 ...have been buffed in an odd sort of way, just because of the way the Evo Harvesters spawn. If you are landing around the side of the map, you're gonna have more opportunity to pick up a greater amount of Evo Harvesters' likely bins, whether they be support or assault crates as well, and that should be getting you to blues or even purples in a way that zones simply can't match anymore.
00:20:23 And that separates the rotating teams with pathing at the same time, because your pathing is going to rely on that evil harvester, where you want to make sure that if you are playing much more of a passive composition, you want to play for end circle, you want to set your pathing around those evil harvesters, those assault bins, the support bins that you were just mentioning right now, as well as the survey and ring consoles to look at. For a lot of these teams, things have changed in Season 20. We got a sneak peek last weekend at the teams that were experimenting, and now we get to see it.
00:20:52 Das Spiel wird wiederholfen, wenn Zeit ist der Essenz. Diea, nicht mehr Zeit. Game No. 1 ist hier auf World's Edge für North America.
00:21:02 And World's Edge, just because of how long it's been in competitive, is one of the places where we actually see more experimentation than we do on Stormpoint. People often prioritize pretty high mobility, big cover legends like Bangalore Horizon when we move over onto Stormpoint. But when we're on World's Edge, even this morning, Vicky, we saw things like Caustic Maggie Wraith, a composition that two seasons ago, even last season, you wouldn't have dreamt of, not even in the wire-
00:21:32 Das ist die größte Herausforderung. Aber hier, an der Pro-League-League-Level, wir werden sehen, die Welt's Edge und die komfortablieren die es bringt. Es gibt so viel Experimental-Gameplay, an der Professionell-Level, dass es uns tatsächlich ein totally new look an Apex Legends als Titel gibt. Ich schreibe deine Augen auf einen wirklich interessanten Pics, native auf der Seite der Seite auf der Seite des Seer. Ein Legend, das wirklich keine andere Team in Nord-Amerika ist sogar über.
00:22:01 It's crazy to see the different Legend Compositions also play out into the strength of individual players that then lead to the cohesiveness of the team. Like we saw in EMEA, so much Lifeline, yet you look at North America, Lifeline isn't even part of that topic. Instead, you have that Soul Crypto, even maybe Seer coming into play, and it looks like our Legends are already dropping out of the ship. I can't wait to see how some of these Legend Compos also play a part into that 50-50 that we're going to be seeing at Climatizer.
00:22:26 Yeah, the early drop does mean the Climatizer kicks off early and Nine Lies are going to take the far flight path. This will give them priority on a northern rotation should they choose to take it and actually escape, putting relatively few teams in the way of Nine Lies. I have to wonder whether Meat Lovers are going to push onto the far side or wait for Nine Lies to come to them. A Horizon pickup early in the game does give a small edge to Meat Lovers.
00:22:54 Allows them to get up to the high ground just as quickly too. Line Lai is already trying to get information. Because they're going to be able to rotate right back to the building here. But it's about where that Survey Beacon is on the other side of Climatizer that gives the edge over to the other team. Because now they also are going to have a little bit more extra credit towards those Evo Shields.
00:23:13 Based on composition alone, Nine Lies should leave. Like you said, they don't have the beacons, and they also don't have a Horizon. They've chosen to run a composition that, just like everyone else's, or as the standard composition of right now, Bangalore Caustic Bloodhound, should be letting them succeed later on into the game. An early fight against Horizon is just too much of a gamble to put your whole game on early on. So I like that Nine Lies are moving away.
00:23:42 Meatlovers don't want to force the issue either, and both teams get to live. Meatlovers, however, get to thrive. Evo Harvester spawn means that they insta-hit blues and can move on from here.
00:23:53 Und sie werden einfach so schnell in dieser PoE mit der ersten Set der Perkz und der Blue Evo Shield gewinnen mit der RNG Rotate, als 9 Lies bleibt, aber sie landen in Survey ist GKS, Rotatier von Epi und Survey, so das vielleicht ein Kampf zu werden, als Sie sehen, die Overhead hier ist, da ist das Jump Tower, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall,
00:24:23 für das Rotate aus der anderen Seite des Climatisers ist die Sentinels. Das ist ein Team, die bereits zu spielen, wo das Neck-Circle ist, so sie meistens nicht mehr Zeit, wenn es die Rotate geht.
00:24:34 We can see it on the screen right now. We take the big shot, and we're not even anywhere close to Overlook. We're in the middle of Epicenter, and Sentinels are ballooning again to get further into the zone. In fact, their rotate is so quick and so fast that it puts them right on top of Native, who land much closer to this choke point than anyone else. Sentinels will have the opportunity to escape to...
00:24:59 They have places to be in Oxygen. The floor is where they're sitting at right now, looking at Vayne. Reed splits his attention right behind him, sends out the Cossack Barrel.
00:25:17 I want to bring attention over to the pick rates that we just saw on top of our screens, by the way. Oof, you already know I'm not very happy, Dio, but it's just because of the stinking man who's made his way after Season 20 into these Legend comps, the Mainstay comp, and it's the Caustic. 19 Caustics out of the 20 teams in this lobby. But they may have some room to breathe for right now on the outskirts of Harvester because Furia are rapping right behind Dropton Gaming.
00:25:44 Bloodhound ult is not one that you'd normally see used offensively. This is very much a defensive ult, one that's meant to buy you space between your rotation and Furia, who, to their credit, back off. Now that you've gotten Bloodhound and Bangult, I think it's pretty safe to say that you're not going to get a good engagement because the team in front of you is so focused on running away. Furia instead will focus on their own rotate and should be able to pick another fight. Plenty of teams like to come through hard.
00:26:14 Und da ist die Möglichkeit für sie zu even clash mit TSM auf den Weg in.
00:26:20 Talk about getting caught in that rotation since TSM leaving out of Lava Siphon. But they do leave with an Evil Harvester on their end as well as two Beacon Scans that they could benefit from. But while they do make their way over to Harvester with another Survey Beacon right there and the Replicator, you can see Fury already quickly rotating out. But bringing the focus to the teams that are playing by the edge right now, Moist has no issue taking these fights to a lot of these teams. That is definitely another team that we didn't highlight at the very top of the show that has no problem just having fun in these type of Lava Siphon.
00:26:50 They are feeling incredibly confident, even talking about tweets from Waltzy saying, you know what, you guys have two APAC teams leading NA right now. How are you guys feeling? And they've definitely been able to perform up to their words, too. So they're now going to be able to hang out by this choke. You see Waltzy getting that scan over by a team that's still inside of that vault tunnel. And they're also going to be able to get whatever they need on top of no name if there is a beacon there. Yeah, and once Moist hit the survey beacon...
00:27:19 They'll have the data that meat lovers are rotating behind them through guys or there's opportunity to cut off say meat lovers on that choke if they would like to, but I am really curious with this prediction that Moist can now make based on where other teams are in the zone, where will they think that the strongest position is? Do they want to play through the edge and look for kills or are they going to try and get into countdown like everyone else?
00:27:47 We'll have to see with their slow rotate. Opposite side, though, with TSM with their quick rotate. Ah, it's like we've taken a time capsule back in time to look at TSM with Verhal's being on this Valkyrie. And with some of these pings and with that Skyward Dive, they are going to be making these quick rotates. But what I don't want to see, Dia...
00:28:08 The Endgame Skyward Dive, the TSM Valk ult Hail Mary that cost them last weekend a few games. Ubing isn't the same with some changes too. Their startup to taking out your weapon, you can't preemptively wind up an ability dropping out of Ubing and that...
00:28:26 comes into play with the way that you may want to try to delay these Valkyrie ults into Final Circle, which is why we're seeing them quickly rotate now back around to Thermal Station, where Legacy has not moved from their POI, as we also see where the Circle is pulling over to the north side.
00:28:40 It's interesting how long Legacy have chosen to take right now. It's a slow move up from Tree into Thermal. Disguised got to pass up through Thermal into Mirage, but TSM missed them both. Now that they're stuck in between these two squads, I think that endgame Valgold that you talk about is becoming all the more likely, Vicky, because TSM have given up a lot of time to get to the Evo Harvester, and that means that they're not going to have great position on a smooth walk-in towards Ring.
00:29:10 Das ist ein wirklich guter Punkt.
00:29:22 ...denn't get the credit that they were expecting, at least from that team, that they were trying to gas out of that building. It looked like they may have wanted to get that Survey Beacon information, considering the fact that Charmander's on that Bloodhound. But they're getting pinged by another team in the distance, and look who's right around the corner. It is moist. MT taking good chunk of damage, but the team in front of them is stuck in between two teams before they rotate out. Terrible spot for oversleepers to be. It leaves you with really only one place left to play. Oversleepers have...
00:29:48 ... ... ... ... ...
00:30:17 und ihr die Entry Fragger, als Timmy hat schon mal wieder gezeigt, was ein Insane Player er ist. Aber ich möchte auch an den Wraithen in der Lobby sein. Wir haben gesehen, sie sich zu diesem, wenn sie mit Fuse experimentieren, ich glaube. Und jetzt, mit den Wraithen, sie sind noch mit dem Wraithen. So, wir wissen, dass mit den Wraithen, ihr könnt immer Wraithen Portal uptime, wenn es diese Tricky Rotate gibt. Aber wie werden sie das nächste Wraithen approachen?
00:30:47 Considering the fact that they're in Lava Fissure. They're north of Worfuria's right now. They're looking at Skurt. And TSM is right around the corner after their rotate out of Thermal through Mirage into the south side of Lava Fissure. Did that... Huh. I think that went off. I think that kidnap worked. I'm looking at the top right of my screen.
00:31:09 Und Skirt, oder Gott, Disguised, wurde das Kidnapp, nur in der Nächte Zeit, erneut sich nicht nur noch einen KP, aber ein bisschen weiter zu einem Platz. Das sind die nächsten drei Quatschen, und wir werden drei Quatschen fallen, vielleicht nicht auf diese Ring-Close, das vielleicht nicht auf einen oder anderen Ring-Close, aber auf die nächste Ring-Close, das alles weitergeht. Das ist die nächste Ring-Close, die alle weiter in den Countdown, das ist, wenn Teams wie Meatlovers und Moist, die wir jetzt in den Gästen,
00:31:37 werden sie weiter kämpfen, als sie in diesem Ring close würden.
00:31:44 Ich habe gehört, dass die Teams schon in Countdown sind, wie LG, die immer die End-Circle sind. Aber das bedeutet, dass mit dem Countdown-Circle sind, dass es viele mehr Teams in der End-Game gibt, weil es viele Real-Estate gibt, für die Teams, die auf den High-Ground oder auf den Low-Ground auf Countdown sind, auf der Position auf wo der Circle ist. Jetzt, wir sehen uns in front of Meatlovers, und Meatlovers, die vielleicht vielleicht geteinvolved oder disengaged oder rotate in den Backends. Wir sehen uns, wie sie das Rotate machen wollen.
00:32:13 Das ist gut, das ist gut.
00:32:39 Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier.
00:33:05 All the Havoc Beams at the very end, Tech being the last one alive. Not before they at least were able to get that knock into Guild, but that knock alone has allowed Tech to buy some time to try to rotate out of this circle. Moist now restabilizing, but they still were able to clean two out of Meat Lovers in that engagement.
00:33:27 Und wirklich införte für Meatlovers, die bereits an der Disadventage auf der Lowground sind, die Sentinels sind nicht mehr zu tun, als sie in durch Caustic Gas gehen, unter Countdown. Das könnte das Ende der Sentinels sein! Das eine Nade-Knox-Luda ist, und Nihil ist barely able, zu bleiben durch den Gas. Ich denke, sie werden das Rez bekommen, aber so viele Teams auf der Lowground sind wirklich zufrieden.
00:33:53 As Moist start to move in, they may actually encounter Sentinels relatively soon as lots of attention will be coming towards Countdown from the eastern side of World's Edge.
00:34:03 Und das ist mit Oblivion auf dem, mit diesen Nades hier auch. Während Setanow'n muss, dass sie zu wenigstens reset für jetzt. Mentioned Moist, und sie sind in der Mitte. Er hat einen Moment, aber er hat einen Zeit und Zeit. Oh, der Rolling Thunder tatsächlich hat ihn, wenn er nur ein paar Sekunden hat. Das wird den Greenlight von der Team über das Rock, um zu fully engagieren. Geil, Handling es selbst. Er hat das Nox Gas, und jetzt ist er wieder in Zeit, um zu reset. Dino, get unlimit.
00:34:32 in your feeds with 16 squads left. Blood ult up soon. Unfortunately, Scan from the back, just as Waltzy's ult goes off. Beast of the Hunt may not be enough to save Moist. Waltzy just gallivanting off into the sunset, avoiding GKS while they can.
00:34:53 Naughty geht runter. GKS ist noch auf der Hunt. Sie haben eine Squad in der Fronten. Die Meadlovers haben auch fallen. Placement Point Territory ist hier. Und wenn GKS gett die Rez, kann sie eigentlich survive mit Oxygen gatekeeping werden?
Spannungsgeladene Endphase und überraschender Sieger in Spiel 1
00:35:08
00:35:08 Oxygen coming out of Landslide, finding the perfect opportunity. Beast of the Hunt activated and the Gold Helmet to add on top of that. GKS get eliminated and Oxygen now will have cleared this side of the circle before Dropped in Gaming may make that long rotate out of Lava Fischer's side right behind Oxygen through Landslide. Take a look at Oxygen's positioning as well. Focus your eyes on the upper left-hand side of the screen. They've got an amazing spot in zone. No one else is playing out towards Landslide. Every other team put themselves...
00:35:37 Oh, the fact that Oxygen lost one of their members to Dropton. Dropton was the only team!
00:35:58 No time for the Valkult to go off. TSM.
00:36:25 Und es ist Sentinels, die kommen in den Klingeln.
00:36:51 Great timing here. Rats was so close at getting around the corner, but even if he did, there was really nowhere else for him to go with this circle. Closing in two. Look at all the chaos. Sharing countdown. Nine lives. Native gaining Furia, who have wrapped around the other side of the countdown, taking circle damage. And this circle will make your eyes water. Native Gaming have the hike here. Rambo has to be careful. Taking a lot of damage here while they chase some shots at the teams right below them. And this is where the Nades come into clutch. He forces them out from the corner. He manages to pop the shield.
00:37:20 Und hier in Luxverde talk earlier in der Interview, Dia, they know exactly what they have to do differently here, but can they clutch it out here on the high ground on the edge of the circle? And notice that Klain isn't using CRL yet. We've got a team on high just chilling, waiting for their time to strike. Native are watching all of this play out, even as Nine Lies lose member after member. Eva really putting in work for Exet, who are kill hungry. Nine Lies do go down. Exet weak on the low ground.
00:37:49 But they should be alright with the ability to stabilize given to them by things like Caustic and KoifulScan already up. Oxygen taking care of Moist2 in the fee while they're playing up that low ground while all the fighting is happening on the other side of this countdown barrier. See, is Watson still alive?
00:38:09 Sentinels have 9 kills so far. Sentinels are rolling this Lobby and it is a totally unprecedented move in Split 1 of Year 4. Sentinels who have been...
00:38:34 Such a passive team have killed so many squads that they're already almost certainly a top five for the first match. Oblivion did take some space away from them, have reduced them to just a duo. But if Sentinels can survive even two more spots in this game, they will have had one of the biggest games for them of the season.
00:38:56 Das ist ein Respekt für RKN, der Name ist hier. Er hat sich auf der Board geändertet, und er hat sich auf diese Position geändertet, und er hat sich in 20. Ex-Stat von der Highground. Das ist ein Team von mir, das ich wollte sehen. Sends auf die Nox Nade. Fun! Ich bin nicht so sicher, ob das Nade ist, ob das Nade aus dem Team ist. Aber Koi-Full ist großartig mit dem Volt. Er braucht Energy Ammo, er braucht das Nade. Er kann nicht die Rez, und Oblivion, jetzt, mit der Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade, um die Nade.
00:39:24 We are just giving away kill after kill after kill. Native have survived up until the top three, but they will not make it any further. Having made a trade with Oversleepers, you know who that's giving it to. It's the team that took the open ground early in the game. It's the team that duped Oxygen out of Landslide. It's Drop-In Gaming that come in and clean up at Countdown.
00:39:50 What a dub for Drop-In Gaming. A dub that they needed here, too. A definite team that wants to keep themselves afloat above these rapid waters. And with 6KP at that, too, and a very chaotic end circle, Dia. Very much so. That entire end circle was just in the west. It was only at Countdown that anything was actually happening. The rest of the map, Oversleepers sat in the north in an RV. And Drop-In Gaming played a few rocks near the Sniper Tower.
00:40:18 But they didn't have to do anything. They just watched the rest of the game happen around them, and credit to them, both teams for coming in, picking up a kill and a win, respectively. It will mean that for those two teams, they'll be a little lower on the kill side of things than teams like Xset might be. So despite the fact that dropping gaming got a win, they might not actually have the most points in match one.
00:40:41 Yeah, they do rotate from Geyser, but it was holding that position that you talked about where Oxygen were in the best spot. Dropton came in and they literally dropped and took one of their teammates and were able to hold that side instead while keeping themselves out from being in a very bad situation from the teams that had to exit at a countdown. You don't want to be on that side where Sentinels was at, where you are inevitably going to get pinched on that low ground. So Dropton in the best spot to take that game for that circle pool.
00:41:09 And meanwhile, looking at teams that came out of Countdown, I can't help but applaud Exet, who, as we said, very much needed points coming into today, played really aggressively to make that happen, and Disguised, who on the Wraith had a lot of attention on them and actually really made it work, taking out multiple squads. Sentinels cannot escape our attention either. A lot of teams that may not have been at the top of anyone's minds coming into today had really big breakout games to start us off on World's Edge.
00:41:39 And this is where you ramp up that momentum too. With Dropton being in 12th place in the overall standings here in NA, they want to make sure that they're safe enough to make it into land where they don't have to sweat too hard looking at the regional finals and how the other teams do out here. They want to make sure that they have a lot more room to breathe. And when you take that first game, even though it wasn't a lot of KP, it's a great way to kickstart your day on World's Edge with there being two more games on World's Edge specifically.
00:42:04 And we'd even raised questions about Meat Lovers when we started talking about today. And around the roster changes at Climatizer, Drop-In Gaming have also had several roster changes. And this isn't one that drew nearly as much attention, because honestly, they are not a team that is nearly as active on socials as Meat Lovers. But as soon as this day started, as soon as the roster changes happened, what it's normally correlated with is a drop in standings, not an immediate Game 1 win.
00:42:32 On some of your last match days of the split. So Drop-In could be making a big rev up, a big momentum pull for the regional finals. But a lot of that is going to be determined based on whether they are able to carry this over into game two. Because as you said, Vicky, having two more games on World's Edge emphasizes one of the most important things in Apex Legends, and that's your ability to replicate what you just did.
00:42:54 We're going to be able to see how they did after that first game at the other side of this break, guys. Don't go anywhere. We got match one results as well as match number two underway.
00:44:40 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. Dia, you and Vicky cast that last one. We're going to get into Game 2, though. World's Edge is always fun. We had a countdown zone that pulled way farther out than we thought. A lot of teams made the bet. It worked out, though, for drop-in gaming. And we have yet to confirm those results. We will in just a second. But look at that. I mean, a great start. Sometimes getting the best spot in that way, winning that one crucial fight, can do it all for you. And you had mentioned this.
00:45:06 Ja, in der grand scheme of things, being able to win a game is going to be nice, but this isn't one of those big explosive games that rockets you out ahead of the rest of the lobby. Instead, Drop-In Gaming are very closely shattered by Oversleepers, a native actually who had a surprisingly low kill game themselves.
00:45:34 Sie werden sie in den Top 3 spielen. Exet wird es in den Top 5. Und Sentinels, mit ihren Punkten, sollte sie in 3rd sein werden, in der, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also in den, also
00:46:03 That's exactly what happens when you take the risk to say, we're going to fight now and get KP, or we're going to try and work for that in-game. Sometimes it works out. Drop in Gaming got 12 points off of that alone. But Sentinel said, we don't have an easy path, but we're going to fight through it and be on the war path, so to speak. And that is one of the things that they were not able to continue when they ran into just better position teams.
00:46:29 Look at this, Oriol is dropping gaming. It's a good start for him. Five kills. The great way to begin your match day. Yeah, and the most important thing about dropping gaming, about Oriol's performance, isn't that the kills were numerous, but that they came at the right times and in the right places. Something that we saw a lot of teams miss out on when we were seeing fights around the edge and even in countdown. You're fighting for places.
00:46:54 that aren't going to give you an active spot to get more kills or to win the game. Dropping Gaming, at the very least, when they were fighting, only took fights that directly furthered them towards first place, which is pretty darn cool to see it work out. It's efficiency. That's the best way to describe it. Match two.
00:47:13 We'll see if we continue with that efficiency, or if someone who is on the more aggressive path actually can take a win, because that's where you see those 30 bombs that were dropped earlier in EMEA. Will North America have their own? Well, there's a chance to find out. What stands out to you, though, as we see the Legend Select screen come up before we drop into the game? I'm definitely keeping tabs on the Meat Lovers 9 Lines compositions, because it means a lot for...
00:47:39 ...de ensueing fight that we may or may not get at Climatizer. As Meat Lovers continue to pick Horizon, and we continue to see Nine Lies just go with this Bangalore Bloodhound Caustic, it's so clear to me that Nine Lies don't actually want to fight at Climatizer, which is actually putting Meat Lovers in a really difficult position, because it means that you're getting half loot, and the other team is happy with that. The other team is gonna move on and forget, but...
00:48:03 Meat lovers are forced into a really awkward rotation. They can't move through the north. They can't actually play the game the way they want to. And part of why I always bring up, when I can, the differences between someone performing on match day A versus B or A versus C is because of these interesting stories. You can look at, wow, this team's inconsistent. Or, wow, this team popped off them. What happened the next day? Well, a lot of times it's where they're landing. Who do they have to rotate to?
00:48:30 The things that happen when you are with another group of players and squads who just clash with what you're also trying to do. Sometimes it limits people who can be successful. So you see these standout winners in that. Or sometimes it means everybody is equal because no one's getting the guaranteed footing across all six days. They're battling for each and every game. It's a battle regardless in Apex. But sometimes those things are just really good to know. Be prepared for. And obviously as we get closer to land where you're switching groups.
00:48:59 Every day, you're going to have to be good at. Yeah, and it's very much a reality of just the things you have to adapt to in your day-to-day as a pro player. Both teams are doing this really well, but it is also...
00:49:13 Cutting short their performances in different ways. Nine Lies in this case did get priority on an Evo Harvester. So should be able to rotate out into GKS's territory without too much of a problem. North Rotation actually not looking bad for a zone like this. You've got a lot of potential to loop through Skyhook. Go into Lava Fisher Countdown. All of these areas not particularly great to hold down. So Nine Lies should have a pretty good time. When you look at Meat Lovers and how they'll have to path through Sentinels. We already know Sentinels is going to be moving. But moving through Lava Siphon, through Harvester.
00:49:42 Das ist ein wirklich schweres Rotate.
00:50:09 Und wenn ihr ein Team wie Oxygen, die wir jetzt gesehen haben, haben wir nicht nur mit Blues, sondern mit Whites, wie Native sind jetzt. Und wenn ihr ein Team wie Oxygen, die wir jetzt gesehen haben, haben wir nicht nur mit Blues, sondern mit Whites, wie Native sind jetzt.
00:50:32 Die Abilität zu impact die Map ist in die Hälfte, weil der Ultimate und die Enhancement, die so viele Teams jetzt auf, nicht nur zu machen Caustic groß, sondern zu machen Caustic wieder. Wir haben nicht Caustic gesehen, für einen Grund. Die Ult ist die große Sache, die sich verändert. Wenn du nicht das hast, bist du mit Caustic. Und niemand hat das gemacht. Und eine der Grund, auch, ich liebe die Powercreate. Ich bin sicher, dass es so viele Leute haben...
00:50:57 Und wenn sie jetzt schon mal ein paar Spiele in Apex haben, dann wissen Sie, dass man ein paar Spiele in Apex hat. Sie wissen, dass man bestimmte Levels hat. Sie kommen später. Und Gibraltar ist einer der Legende, dass er sich mit einem Sprengenzen hat. Optik dropped, hat er ihn in und hat ihn nicht wirklich getrennt. Aber eine der größten Sprengenzen ist bei Level 3, wenn man Baby Bubble oder Bubble Bunker geht, und ihr Extendet die Tactical Zeit. Für Kaustik, der major, major Perk ist Level 2. So, es gibt so viele Dinge, die diese Charaktere zurückgebracht haben.
00:51:26 It's been the perfect storm, really, DM. It really has. And it is worth noting that though they haven't gotten a lot of screen time today, there is one squad that's running Gibby in today's games on World's Edge so far. DNO have chosen to make this selection. So if we get to see Baby Bubble or Big Bubble picked up a little later on, we'll at least know who it's coming from.
00:51:53 Meanwhile, Eeveelution should be able to get a nice scan. Without a bubble, a smoke will do just as well to get you not only extra information, but extra... Oh, can I call it Eeveelution? Since they're, you know... I guess you could. Hey man, I know it is. And you know, part of the elements here in Apex is that we get to see and hear and witness a lot of fun. A lot of fun things. All these players, they're gamers, they're pros, but...
00:52:21 They like to have their own set of style. And as they continue to do that, we get to kind of enjoy the characters that these players are. And speaking of, a team sitting very easily, not really having to do much work in Thermal Station so far just yet. Skies, they kind of went viral for a comment that Design had with Enemy. And you know what? I think from that, though, there's a lot of passion to easily see this team.
00:52:51 Es hat sich um, um ihre Motivation zu gehen. Sie waren großartig an Land, aber jetzt müssen sie zurückkommen. Und vielleicht war das der Kickstart, die sie für und für und für und für. Und es hat natürlich auch looked wie es, als Disguised played quite well. Furia, eine andere Squad, die...
00:53:09 Er läuft in eine andere Weise. Er hat viele Leute auf dem Team gewonnen. Er macht es zu großartigen Effekt. Er ist fantastisch. Er ist eine 32, die Caustic-Gas ist. Das bedeutet, dass du genug Dammage hast, wenn du gerne möchtest. Kannst du aber nicht, ob Fury will eigentlich auf dieses Spiel. Watssons in mit Caustic. Er ist nicht die Fragger, die wir alle üblich sind, aber es ist einfach. Er macht es einfach wie ein Movement Legend, nachdem man ihn ausgesucht.
00:53:37 I'm Madness. Really, really found a good rhythm here with this squad. It has fit nicely. Uris, Vudo, just trying to survive right now. They've got their own Caustic as well. It means Vudo won't take damage from his Watson. So it has to kind of go big here in a situation where you're fighting in such an enclosed space and getting pushed. But they've held on for now. And it has put us into a bit of a stalemate. Disguise still where we've seen them last. Sentinels and Legacy fighting south.
00:54:04 Just next to where Evenlucian and Furia are fighting. But Diaz, we get down. It's clearly going to be a southern zone. This, though, after this one, the pull that really changed it for us in Countdown was the one after this. And it seems like now it's not swinging too far. It's kind of central to where they were expecting. A little above Thermal. But man, does it look good for Oxygen. I know I...
00:54:26 Brought to question their white shield rotation. And Rain Day, I will die on that hill. It is a questionable decision. But man, has it gotten them a good spot. Oxygen with the early caustic setup.
00:54:38 Could actually defend this high ground that is so often a pivotal position towards rings 4 and 5 that it lies just above the train tracks. A team like Disguise has already got to be preparing based on what they know about the ring, with the scans that they've received, that this is ultimately going to be going on to high ground. And with something like Wraith as your, we'll call it a movement legend here, you don't actually have a lot of options for getting up to high ground. The portal is necessary to move Disguise from place to place. Yeah, I like the frequency of the portal.
Taktische Beobachtungen und Team-Positionierungen im frühen Spiel
00:55:08
00:55:08 I do like her perks as well this season. I've been a fan of this character. I think she's close. It's good to see her in Pro League again. It was the Wraith show forever when she was one of, if not the, must pick legends. But now it's definitely changed. In high ground rotation ability, Horizon was queen of that. Valkyrie as well coming back into it. Wraith, it's a little bit more of a select pick. But Design seems to be pretty content on throwing it. Moist though, they've been in a great spot.
00:55:37 They had that fight as they were rotating earlier last game, and now on Purples, they've done everything they need to do. Still a little bit of distance to run, but they're in a pretty decent spot to at least arm it up. As good as you're going to get in terms of the perks, the additional power, and especially Bloodhound, Caustic do really benefit from every Evo. With Bangalore, you do get this passive benefit.
00:56:03 It's enough to make sure that there's cover for them as they move in and a little bit of extra information. For right now, a team like Moist doesn't have to move. They don't have to think about how to get into the next zone, largely because they don't exactly know where it's going. But once it's revealed that everybody's going to be moving closer into Thermal, Moist will have to make a decision. Whether they fight meat lovers, whether they try and evac over through squads like Oxygen and TSM, or whether they just fall in the culling and look for...
00:56:32 It also does, as we see Oversleepers moving in, they had a great game as well. 17 points and second place with Warner Lobby. It kind of means that there's a higher risk to...
00:56:45 Ich glaube, es ist einfach so, dass es eine Sache ist, und es hat in den ALGS-History sein, wie es in den letzten Jahren ist. Wenn es einen Punkt hat, wenn es einen Punkt hat, und du investierst in das, hast du keine Chance für diese Teams, die ihre Evos haben, und die sich in die Position zu bewerben, um sich in die Position zu bewerben. Luckily, es funktioniert für Oxygen, und auch Gaming Gladiators, sie sind in ein guter Platz. Aber ich bin auf Whites & Blues...
00:57:11 Es ist sogar riskier jetzt. So es ist einfach wie, was du entscheiden, wenn du entscheidest, oder wenn du entscheidest, oder wenn du entscheidest, um, es gibt Risiko. Das ist sehr true. Und es ist die Risiko, in der Weise, nicht in einer guten Position, oder nicht in der Lage zu kämpfen, LG, sogar jetzt.
00:57:29 Das Risiko selbst ist nur auf Blues. Sie haben noch einen guten Platz zu kämpfen, wenn sie es tun können. Arcstar Stick auf der top ist, aber nicht nur noch jemanden hat, aber es gibt ein bisschen von Chip Damage. Und dann folgt mit einem Grenade. LG, wenn sie in der Mitte genommen haben, haben sie gewonnen. Können Slayer, aber Sweet war so bereit, nach dem Grenade hat. Er hat gesagt, ich muss noch ein paar Damage bekommen. Ich kann nicht die Knock, aber das ist so schwer zu kämpfen gegen Akasik.
00:57:59 Aber das wird es. Skirt wird auf die Seite für jetzt. Und LG wird weitergehen. Das ist nicht so weit passiert, aber das ist ein gutes Zeichen für unsere Top-Teams in Nord-Amerika. Ein fantastisches Ausatmen der Caustik-Gas, um zu machen, was du in der Push steigst. Die Caustik-Gas werden weitergehen. Die Caustik-Gas werden weitergehen. Die Caustik-Gas werden weitergehen.
00:58:22 Look for some kills, and while they may not find them initially, this very favorable trade is just made all the harder to deal with for DNO in the low ground, because they can't actually punish Wraith. And I think that's one of the things when you look at, you know, I'm at a great spot, but to punish you, I've got to give that up. Well, it's not really worth it, and that's what these pros are so good at, making enemies have to make these difficult decisions. And...
00:58:51 Ich glaube, es ist einfach nicht wert. X-Set, ich wollte sehen, wie sie heute sind. Ich fühle mich, das ist für sie eine große Zeit für sie. Es ist für ein Team, das ist für ein Team, das ist ein Teil von Nordamerika in den letzten Jahren. Wir lesen in den X-Set und sehen, wie sie es handelt.
00:59:20 We should try and get these kills. Nothing's in it right now. I don't see anyone Dorito. Dorito? Okay. Yeah, I don't see anybody. The bang is running south. We should go west. We should go west. We should go west. We should go west. Yeah. Balloon east. They're running. Let's go. Let's go. Cross the flush. 13. One shot.
00:59:42 We need to push forward. We have to kill forward. Classic cracked.
01:00:08 Floodwind, Floodhead! Oh, es ist nicht so ein Tag für Ex-Set, mehr zu kommen, aber Oversleeper survive yet another and they'll be able to geek their way out.
01:00:25 ETH auf ein Sliver von HP. Es war so, so close. Aber, unfortunately, die Sandwich kommt für uns alle. In diesem Fall, Gaiman Gladiators kommen für Moist. Sie sind direkt unter dem Train Tunnel. Gaiman Gladiators sind able, zu stabilisieren, zu bekommen die Rez. Und jetzt...
01:00:44 Das war's. Das war's.
01:00:58 Just aping Sentinels. Unbelievable. These two teams put themselves in one team is going home type situation. We both are not making it out of here alive. But just as I say that, RKN says, well, okay, let's change the rules of engagement. Maybe I'll stay alive, even though Luda and Zenile have already bitten the dust.
01:01:19 It's a tough spot for him to be in, though. As Acoustic, no movement abilities on the low ground. Arcane is just going to try to maybe get some placement and stay out of sight. But Insight is that alternator with those Disruptor rounds, but he goes down right away over Sleepers. Could this be it?
01:01:36 Not looking for that angle into the fight. In fact, a res almost impossible here. Burtnade doesn't connect in a punishing way on Oversleepers, and instead they'll go for the res. Arcology does cover for a little while, and another smoke gets expended. The amount of resources that Oversleepers are putting in does make it more difficult for them to move forward, but...
01:01:57 This is not the final boss. Oblivion hardly matter right now. It's all about moving forward as fast as possible because you've still got to fight through Gaiman Gladiators. Teams are going to have to rotate. Only three teams, maybe just a little bit of Gaiman, are in zone right now. Everyone above or below and having to run. Oblivion with a Scan Arcology. Not even working with a shield battery he could use right now. Just trying to make it to safety, and he does at least.
01:02:24 und ich denke, das ist ein guter Geheimnis. Du hast nicht genug Geheimnis, aber du kannst deine Team helfen, aber ich bin nicht sicher, dass er die Chance wird. Er ist einfach nicht auf Bloodhound. Ich meine, der Legend ist nicht zu helfen, in diesem Scenario. No cover, no assistance. Oblivion hat eine Schlange von dieser Zone left zu spielen.
01:02:46 Ja, GKS und Oblivion, wie du schon gesagt hast, haben sie zu machen.
Strategische Zonenpositionierung und Team-Engagements
01:03:13
01:03:13 20 feet in this game so far, but it's been good for them. They found purple somehow. And that means with 15 points in fourth already, they've got a chance to win. Not the easiest of zones, but this one is okay. The two teams we haven't seen in a minute, though, who are center zone is Oxygen Esports, who rotated early, as you had mentioned, and TSM, who have found their way right next to Oxygen on a really great spot.
01:03:40 It's so tough to hold on to this, but if TSM can do it, they've got good cover from above. They've clearly got the Care Package weapon right in front of them, and Oxygen should be able to help cover this. In this case, TSM do have to worry about Furia, who will come from the train line, and LG, rightfully so, have to focus back on Disguise, making sure that nobody rotates up through them. LG, funnily enough, gatekeeping legacy with this maneuver as well. A little bit of rivalry there.
01:04:09 Ja, und das wird etwas weitergehen, LG. Das sieht gut aus, da ist alles gut, aber auch noch gut. Und Fung mit dem Hemlock zu machen. Oh, ho, ho, kann man nicht sehen, aber er weiß wo sie sind jetzt. Und das wird Legacy Eliminatet sein. Es ist so schwierig zu machen, wenn Fung...
01:04:33 Das heißt, TSM und FURIA sind auch, und ich denke, das bedeutet, dass TSM nicht in einem guten Platz sein wird. Sie gehen, DIA, und alle diese Teams sehen, dass sie gehen. LG ist der perfekte Zeit. Oxygen hat nur 2.
01:04:53 It should be just one solo member of Oxygen left. LG get one of the best spots in Ring. Somehow on the low ground, DSG have survived. There we go, Oxygen are out. Furia are still up, and that's gonna make our top three teams make it. Perhaps our top two, because Funk is connected with enough shots that LG could probably drop down on the Thermite and take out Furia, should they desire.
01:05:19 And if you wonder why LG is sitting in third place right now overall. While this team is a team we're speaking of in such high regard. Even though it's expected whatever Sweet is doing. Slayer and Funk, they have put together just a roster that matters. And they have made it to this final three on high ground. Not a lot of contest. Look at the evac right behind LG. This is the biggest problem.
01:05:44 The chance for Disguised to come up and take this game away from the suite is rightfully refocused, but does not have the shit. Unfortunately, Disguised get gunned out of the sky. Designful never places the exit portal, and there's now no safe way up.
01:05:59 No Disguise for that one. He was plain in sight, and I think that's the problem. How do you get up from here? It's been the issue. They landed, but they didn't move fast enough during it. In one way, it's got them a top three, but in another way, it's a nearly impossible situation to win as such a good player. Six kills so far for LG. They're looking to add maybe four more here if they take care of this solo or this Curious Squad.
01:06:25 LG are actually taking this fight. They could go out in third. And right now it's looking like they will. And at the same time, Jimmy somehow griffs the hill. It's crazy and it should never have worked. But Disguised pick up a second place finish off of this. Magnus even dropping down just to finish the kill. To collect one more KP is going to be unable to do it. Giving another point to Disguised. It looks ludicrous, Reindei. But this play from Disguised.
01:06:55 Es ist so massiv, und es ist ein Unforced Error von LG. Was ein Moment! Furia nimmt es und wir waren überraschend da. Sie haben uns nach links und nach rechts und nach rechts. Und sie nehmen es nach TSM und nicht nur TSM, sondern LG und Disguise. Das ist massiv von Furia und sie nehmen 2.
01:07:20 Dia, das also means that a team that we have been kind of asking is on the bubble, 11th currently right now, trying to find that way where they can cement being at LAN, get into some of those spots that are guaranteed for North America, 11 plus our play-in winner form the regional finals. They need a performance to kind of get off of that cusp and to have it happen now, it's not a day too soon.
01:07:46 No, in fact, for many teams, it would have been a day too late, but picking up just a few points here and there for Disguised should push them into that LAN territory, and funnily enough, Rande, it's really just a return to what they are really good at. I mean, the first time we saw Disguised as Dojo was just at LAN right out of the LCQ, and they performed marvelously.
01:08:09 I mean, and that's the thing about LG, excuse me, you know, just the fact that when you get Disguised, who were going against LG in that tough spot, when you get them to LAN, you feel like you've already accomplished what you need because they'll perform. Oxygen, another team that when they are at LAN, really perform well. When they're in these big moments, they perform well. So it's about getting there. And I think that this is now, especially even for FURIA, a very big day for those two teams particularly to get off of the cusp of...
01:08:37 Almost making it and really pushed themselves into those 7-8-6 guaranteed spots. It'll mean that they've got to perform probably better than TSM. And TSM was in the mix there. But Furia, they took the fight and they ended up taking the game. As we take a look at the match results, it worked out very, very well for them in the India.
01:08:54 Really did. And granted, TSM also much better game than in Game 1, so that'll feel real nice for them, as they've got a bit of breathing room now that it wasn't just a one-point finish. For Furia, though, clearly attracting a lot of attention. We've got a lot of good things to say about this squad, and when we talked about them earlier, putting them right next to Disguised in this sort of big personality way, I do want to highlight that Madness is having one of the splits, one of the best splits of his career right now. He's currently top three in damage differential.
01:09:23 Putting out an average of, per game, 200, maybe 300. It's in the mid 200s. Damage more than his opponents that he's not taking back in return. That's a full person with Red Evo Shield that Madness is able to take down every game.
01:09:40 Das ist ein Schwing. Das ist die Sache, die sich die Unterschiede ansehen. Als ob du mehr Spieler brauchst, als Keon und his Watson. Du hast Madness puttet, wie du sagst, ein Splits zu erinnern. Und oh mein Gott, wir dachten ein 30-bomb war großartig. Wir dachten, ob wir einen in Nordamerika sehen können. Und wir sehen einen, und wir sehen einen, und wir sehen einen, und wir sehen einen, mit 31 Punkten für Furia, um den 1st-Place-Fin.
01:10:05 This is an incredible way to get just your second game of the day. And let's not forget that FURIA are not even close to done with their season. They've still got a whole nother match day after this. With performances like this in Season 20, you can definitively say that they are adapting really well. And they're clearly getting a lot of work done in the standings, perhaps not even needing to rely on regional finals should this continue. The skies pull up well.
01:10:34 LG as well, although I cannot help but think of the comms. Granted, I cannot hear right now, but think of the comms that I'm sure are happening on LG right now. For as good as third place is, there's going to be a lot to review about that endgame. It's pretty impressive what they're doing, and when you continue to see the lobby that they're playing against, the LGs, the TSMs, the GKS, GKS above Furia right now, so again, huge...
01:10:59 Das ist eine andere Geschichte. Das heißt, wir haben nicht gesehen, dass wir ein paar Kills über Game 1 und Game 2 gesehen haben, aber das 31-Bomb ist, besonders für Teams wie Meatlovers, Sentinels und XSEN, die wir vorhin schon erwähnt haben, als Needing-BIG-Performanz.
01:11:23 Es ist so wild, Randy, dass ich nach Sentinels gesehen habe und ich bin, wer sind sie? Und ich sehe sie in diesem Spiel und ich bin, wer sind sie? Wo sind sie? Ja, es sind zwei völlig unterschiedliche Washes. Es ist sehr surprising zu sehen, dass sie in der Saison und von einem Roster des Experten haben. Aber es ist viel mehr, ich bin sicher, von wo Game 1 kam. Wir schauen uns für sie. Moist, Exset, D&O, Skirt.
01:11:52 All these teams can place top five in any individual game. And just comparing our top two teams there. Kills-wise, 30 kills just about. Nearly half the lobby taken down from these two teams. 21 assists on 19 kills. Pretty impressive. And of course, placement points.
01:12:12 Ich glaube, es war auch in den Weg von Furia, wie es zu erwähnt. Und manchmal, DIA, wenn man diese beiden Teams sieht, viele Teams fühlen sich sicher. Ich denke, das ist das perfekt Level von Kompetenz, mit der Opportunität. Wo DSG und Furia fühlen sich nicht ganz sicher, aber sie wissen, dass sie ziemlich nahe sind, aber sie müssen zu performen. Und ich denke, dass jetzt, dass sie jetzt in der Lobby sind, dass sie in die Lobby sind. Will jemand be able zu catchen? Hopefully, wir haben...
01:12:41 Oh yeah, I was going to say our result. We've got our versus. Take a look at this. Speak to me about Keon and Enemy and the stats we got here. Clearly this is impressive from both of them, but what's really standing out is the way that this relates to who they're playing. Keon is on Caustic, and for Disguised Enemy, what was Enemy playing? Enemy's also on Caustic, which is interesting, because...
01:13:05 The fact that they're actually very close in stats, perhaps Disguise falling a bit behind, or rather enemy falling a bit behind in the kills, speaks to the different role that Caustic is taking on in both teams. For Disguise, you get Caustic as much more of a finisher, and for Furia, they're so reliant on all swinging things together that this difference, this delta that you're getting in kills, is really made up by the playstyles on two otherwise very comparable teams.
01:13:32 Great points there for sure also series results speaking points furia they put themselves with one game in first place 31 points in game two adding to the four from game one disguised right behind them as well and drop in gaming after their good performance and win with 18 in game one they will sit in third over sleepers oxygen
01:13:56 Rounding out our top five. Bottom half though, Skirt, D&O Gaming, yet with a point. Meat Lovers with only one. TSM, a team people are obviously looking at heavily. Two games, four points. They're going to want to pick that up for sure. Moist Esports also having a relatively slow start compared to what we've known them to do yet.
01:14:14 Ja, ich werde Teams wie Legacy in da, als auch. 16th Place, 3 Punkte. Sehr unexpected. Ich werde euch alle auf der Squad in 5th Place betrachten, Oxygen. Wir haben sie viel darüber gesprochen, weil wir sie in 2. Es war nicht nur weil sie sie schlagen alle, sondern weil sie die Ringwälder schlagen. Und sie, wenn du sie das in 1. Also haben sie das in Game 1, als auch. Das war es dann auch bei Drop-In Gaming. Aber die Weise...
01:14:39 They're reading zones right now. The way that Oxygen are reliably pinpointing what power positions and rings are is interesting to track as we look towards this last game on World's Edge. Because if they can do that consistently, they'll be moving up the leaderboards further than fifth. Well, Firepower, it is not missing in North America. 31 points in Game 2 from Furia and a win. What'll happen in Game 3? Don't go anywhere. Be right back.
01:16:41 Welcome back, everyone. What a chaotic end circle that was. I cannot believe what happened to LG at the very end. Dia, I know you were able to take us through all the action with Brain Day. And now we have our final game on World's Edge before we make that transition into Storm Point. I am still befuddled, Vicky, by what was that end game? Because there were so many ways in which it shifted.
01:17:06 I always get really excited talking about Apex Legends. It's why I'm here right now, because I love Apex Legends. But man, do endgames like that really get my heart pumping, because there are so many ways to change the dynamic of Apex Legends, and cooldowns are so important, from evac towers to wraith portals to swings onto the low ground. Every single movement and cooldown.
01:17:32 Es ist cool zu sehen, dass das Spiel aus. Jetzt, Vicky, warum nicht wiederholt das? Du gehst, du gehst. Du gehst, du gehst. Du gehst, du gehst. Du gehst, du gehst, du gehst, zu hören, und den Designs zu hören, wenn du in der Mitte geschlagen hast, in der Mitte der Portal. Oof, ich weiß, dass die Cogs waren auf dem Mic. Aber wir gehst, hier, für die Nummer 3, guys.
Zonen-Diversität und strategische Team-Positionierung auf der Karte
01:17:55
01:17:55 Man, I also really like the diversity in circles that we've seen so far, although both circles have now been on the west side of the map. Know that the skies had that POI advantage as they land in Thermal Station, Furia, who are going all the way down south to Tree. Now happening to see where this next circle is gonna be going to, our final circle here on World's Edge.
01:18:15 Last opportunity for those that perhaps are a little more comfortable here to make their mark on the leaderboards today, because once you move on to Stormpoint, everything's going to change. The entire dynamic of the map, the picks, the meta starts shifting. Nine Lies again, likely splitting this POI, and Calimatizer, funnily enough, has just become two of them. We actually rarely get to see this on contests, but...
01:18:42 These are two teams that are handling this in a really mature way. Well, it may not be benefiting either of them particularly. Nine Lies is not suffering at the hands of meat lovers, nor is meat lovers feeling that way about Nine Lies.
01:18:57 The only thing that's kind of suffering here for Nine Lies is the fact that they don't get the Beacon Blessing that Meat Lovers consistently gets over by Klimatizer, which then allows them to get Evil Shield Charge, and if the Evil Harvester appears, for some reason, it's just more than likely appear on Meat Lovers' side. Actually, you can see it right there on the right side. And we get to see where the circle is going to be moving to. Skyhook, so we can expect a heavily congested final circle with a lot of the teams taking up these buildings, but specifically...
01:19:26 So it's a big trade-off. I love that you mentioned the Meat Lovers Evo Harvester.
01:19:41 und die Beacons, die sie oft spawning mit sind. Aber 9 Lies, wir haben das viele Mal gehört, sind einfach die Priorität. Sie move von Climatizer, und besonders in der Skyhook Zone, das sollte wirklich evident sein. So 9 Lies müssen die gesamte Idee der Konferenzierung, die einfach nur half die Lüte nehmen, auf wie gut sie place in diesem Spiel. 9 Lies muss kommen ahead von Meatlovers auf den Leaderboarden für das zu sein.
01:20:09 Fioria, die über die Tree landen, will also have a more difficult time with this rotation than they did last game, because they land so far south. I mean, a Skyhook Zone is the natural evolutionary enemy of a Tree Team.
01:20:24 But at least they'll be leaving with the Survey Beacon scans and the Replicator behind them. And with a 19kp dub, you know that the momentum is swinging. The vibes are high here for Furia. They're going to be able to loot on the way over there as they make their way towards Harvester, which also has a Survey Beacon and a Ring console that they can take advantage of. Aside from the Salt Bin too, that they just get free Evo charge towards. And Legacy, with their quick rotate from Launch Sight, they don't really have to worry about them since Furia already had gone for the speedrun on this rotate.
01:20:53 Let's not forget, too. Assault crates are so crazy because you not only get more EVO, which means that your legend gets better and your fighting capability gets better, but you also get attachments, which means that your guns get better and your fighting capability gets better. You remember when Conduit was being debated as to whether she was worth it? It was mostly Raven who was leading that charge on, hey, we don't like Conduit and here's why. And a big part of it was because of fight uptime.
01:21:22 Now, being active in fights, having legend perks, having better attachments for your weapon is just so much more clearly a good measure of uptime in these assault classes. Special is a smart loot that you can take advantage of with these quick rotates too. As you see, native Gaiman on the high ground. D7, at least with the purple light mag, but no scope.
01:21:43 So having to rely on that iron sight for the G7. I actually really like that skin there too. And it looks like a team actually just landing right next to them on the middle tower. With so many other teams in the area, LG. And this is what we're expecting from a circle pulling towards Skyhook. More of these teams are going to be in that northern side of Skyhook. And other teams that like to play edge, like Oxygen, are going to be more so poking from afar. While relying on probably rotating from that north side. While getting involved in putting themselves in a pinch situation.
01:22:13 Things to be cognizant of as we look up at Skyhook, everybody is going to look at that and go, oh, if this zone is going Skyhook, I too would take the center of it and the high ground. Native, while they have that, you already mentioned don't have scopes, I'll also point out don't have a natural way to sustain without Watson or Lifeline or really any support legend like even a Loba to help get them additional loot from everyone who might drop around them.
01:22:41 Es wird wirklich schwierig für Native zu halten diese Position als ein Power 1 in der Late-Game haben. Sie müssen, sie müssen, sie müssen, sie müssen, weil sonst, sie stehen auf der Top-Skyhook und blöde aus.
01:22:56 I love how you bring that up because that also goes into play with how certain teams with their comps play out final circle positioning in early game and what they deny themselves, whether it be Evil Shield Charge, Meds, Ammo, how they want to take those fights and even though you can try to get those placement points, right now we got 20 squads left. We don't really see that happening until we are down to the top 15 and they're going to be in a tough situation depending on how more of these teams rotate into Skyhook with a lackluster spot to rotate in from when they have to drop.
01:23:26 von der Highground. Talking about Rotate 2, you can see FURIA actually taking a look at a team that is gonna be Legacy who had made that southern map rotate over on the outskirts of Countdown.
01:23:35 And isn't it funny that Fury are watching Legacy rotate by them, when it's Legacy that should, by all metrics, actually be further behind Fury, who get the first rotate out of Tree, who Legacy was mirroring this whole time. Fury have taken this lackadaisical path through the ring so far, and while they have a good spot in Landslide, they've now been overtaken, meaning they can't move any further into the western side of this ring. They can't go through Countdown safely, and instead have to either move...
01:24:04 durch Grandma's house, or, God forbid, the tunnel into Skyhook.
01:24:08 If we do go through Grandma's house, there is an Evil Harvester there that they could take advantage of. That's some of those rotates that a lot of these teams are going to be taking note of. Aside from the Evil Harvesters, it's also just something that we've seen before where a lot of teams like to wait around those Evil Harvesters and take a jump on a team that may not be expecting it. But for Fury here and the Evil Harvester ahead of them, they don't have to worry about that. The closest team to them is actually Meat Lovers across from the train tracks and DNO who are flying onto Monument. But you can see a lot more of these teams talking about...
01:24:38 Real quick, real quick.
01:24:50 Very high stakes fight happening right now. Nine Lies vs Meatlovers on the far side of the zone. We have specifically called out this matchup because Nine Lies, in order to justify getting half loot, getting the worst end of the Evo charge, have to outlast Meatlovers. The fact that they're sitting on the same side of zone, or rather outside of the zone.
01:25:15 Is not a good look for Nine Lies. You have the disadvantage in a straight up 3v3. They should have prioritized getting a better position in ring and they don't have one. And they took their time to make that rotate from the north side of the train tracks where we already saw so many other teams hang out there. Disguised with the Wraith portal to put them into cover. Design's got that Kraber in hand. And making that quick swap so that way he could give that Kraber over to Timmy. He's rocking one of the best Bloodhound skins.
01:25:44 I know Meatlovers kann fight, but can they fight a Gibby, especially with an EMP out first and cracks coming in the way they are from Crust?
01:26:13 Es ist ein 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
Teamkämpfe, strategische Rotationen und späte Spielentscheidungen
01:26:30
01:26:30 But do they want to take this fight? Looking at a team from in front of them. I believe Moist now looking to get involved. They didn't get the invite in the mail, but don't worry. Better late than never to see what's happening here in the distance. Because by that choke, Nine Lives is waiting there to see if they get third party meat lovers. If Moist gives them that opportunity. Inside of the building, Diamond Gladiators take this fight with Blue Evos. Blue E incredibly low, but taking the different angle as his teammate that's right there to get three. Please provide some backup. And the Havocs are just blaring through these.
01:27:00 Nice clutch, but that to me was all Louie. What wonderful management on Acoustic of your swings, your strafes, to take up so much time and deal as much damage as they did in it. Louie?
01:27:21 So low, or nearly so low, saves the lives of Gaiman Gladiators in that moment, and it'll be well worthwhile since they've got the position on the north end of Zone. Meatlovers, though, still in a tight spot. They expended a lot in order to take this fight against D&O, still haven't been able to finish it, and still have two separate teams looking at them. A1s almost gets fried. It does have to take a bit of a different angle in order to survive. Hypes is going to be the same. Skynades are coming in, and this is looking mighty third partyable.
01:27:48 Just crazy here, playing off a little headglitch here, too. Crazy to say, TSM is that first team out of this lobby. Sends out the Nox grenade up to the heavens. Destroys that barrel. What a placement on that Nox gas. Are you kidding me? Well, look at Moist, sitting pretty, waiting to see if they can get some of these kills. They get the Nox as Duke burns back inside.
01:28:13 Und jetzt ist es Shotgun Meta, Baby! MNK Kingdom mit...
01:28:19 Krust dipping back inside. This could just be the timing for a third party. DNO disengaged shortly, but as we called it out, Moist see the knocks happen and come in to thirst some members of Meat Lovers who were left behind. Both teams still alive, but now Moist focusing on DNO. It's a matter of who will last longer, who will get not even more placements at this point, just more dignity.
01:28:44 And Meatlovers also get to escape with a rat. They send up the Nox. Yes, the Gibby is not safe, even with the PK in hand. Here comes Guild, the Prowler blaring through, and they take control over this building. DNO get eliminated with 17 squads up. Guess it was a good thing that Nine Lies had managed to rotate away before all the chaos happened over by Grandma's house. And Meatlovers get to survive this, so they picked up at least the 1 KP they got earlier on Senox.
01:29:13 ...are fine for now. Maybe a little closer to placement points. It isn't great. I'm not going to lie to you and say that this is the perfect position for Meat Lovers, but it's a slightly better spot than they had otherwise. Unfortunately, compared to Nine Lies, which is what we're tracking them up against, it is very, very bad for Meat Lovers, who has a solo now, have to outlast an entire trio that had a rotation ahead of them into the zone.
01:29:42 See what that rat is going to be able to do here as we tune into furia who have completely bunkered down inside of this floor With all the caustic barrels to block out the entrances It's also the information with the amount of teams that are coexisting in each other's building
01:29:59 Not a whole lot of squads that still have to rotate in. Most people have found a spot to play in Skyhook. So this zone, weirdly enough Vicky, should actually be a pretty calm one. What will be crucial is for teams that...
01:30:12 Ich habe ein bisschen besser gedacht, wo dies das letztendlich ist. Aber diese Teams können ihre Rotationen durchführen. Schuads wie 9 Lies werden müssen, um ein bisschen weiter nach vorne zu denken. Wo ein Team wie LG, die sich richtig gut auswählen würde, ich denke, sogar die Gaiman Gladiators in diesem Fall, sollte eine nice, vielleicht nicht relaxed, aber eine relativ straight-forward Rotation sein, um in die Gespräche zu halten.
01:30:39 Und zu wenig halten, dass die Begründung der Begründung der Begründung gibt. Weil wir wissen, dass das nächste Begründung der Begründung in die anderen Teams auf der Skyhook-Bildung sehen, dass das Begründung der Begründung ist. Es wird ein Blutblatt sein, weil es wenig oder keine Begründung gibt, die Begründung der Begründung ist. Und wir wissen, dass die Begründung der Begründung in der Mitte der Begründung wird, und dann werden die Begründung auf den Begründungs-Lowen oder die Begründung von der Begründung auf die Begründung auf die Begründung.
01:31:06 I can't help but smile. I love the way the Disguised are making use of the Wraith right now, and I hope...
01:31:11 ... ... ... ... ...
01:31:36 Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass das was Perfect Play aussieht für sie. Portal, Portal, Portal und die Schöter Cooldown auf es hat, hat die Disguide-Diskügegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegege
01:32:05 We could just jump in the middle courtyard and it's horrible, but we'll be the only team not fighting. I think there's a team from diner doing that, but maybe not. Yeah, I think maybe we jump, maybe we go and jump over the fence. Yeah, we need these three. I died.
01:32:39 Oh, you heard it. They couldn't even believe they got focused on, but they had no cover. There was a team playing from inside. It was Evolution on the high ground. GKS on the low ground. And DSG still alive with only Design being the last one alive. He can't slide away. The skies get eliminated in your feed.
01:32:58 And Gaiman Gladiators controlling not just their own building, but the market to the south of it are the big winners of the western side of the ring. Taking out DSG, picking up a lot of KP, and as we already called out, having one of the few relatively straightforward moves into the next zone. It's difficult for a squad like LG to keep Gaiman Gladiators away from the train station, so GG can start rotating in.
01:33:26 Und, ehrlich gesagt, nicht zu überrascht. Ein Squad wie GKS? Ich kann wirklich sagen, diese Frags sind DESTRUCTIVE! Und Chaotik hat sehr wenig HP zu werfen. Siehendlich, L.G., haben aber zu sehen, dass GKS die falsch ist. Was wir nicht gesehen haben, in unseren Feeden, ist, dass wir die vier Hostiles sehen. Aber ich glaube, an einem Punkt, Sweet hat sich getrennt, so leaving L.G. als Duel zu überleben, in dieser Train Station,
01:33:55 They don't have the man advantage to actually sway. I mean Gladiators who could come in from the other side of the train and then GKS who have the scans to let them know how many of those teammates are playing from inside.
01:34:06 That's a nice call. And the fact that now it's a duo holding the train yard changes everything. Oversleepers will have a lot less to contend with as they have to make a rotate out and to the north. But I still wouldn't feel too comfortable doing it, especially without cover of smoke. It's going to make this causticle so important for ETH. Oversleepers have got razor thin margins to play with, especially when factoring in the team behind them.
01:34:32 Oversleepers mit der POI-Advantage und haben die High-Ground-Moist-Fighten für ihre Lives auf der Low-Ground. Das ist die Chaos, die wir erwähnt haben. Es gibt fünf Teams, die hier auf der South Side, in dieser Mitte der Mitte. Und Oversleepers werden zu werden, die von der Sliver des Cover aus dem Fenseline zu ihrer Left gibt. Du siehst? Oversleeper wird das BANG-Ult-Slide all den Weg geben. Sie sehen, die Rolling Thunder kommen in. Skirt geteilt, Legacy, meet sie in der Lobby. Und Oversleepers...
01:35:02 Such an awkward course of events. Walking straight back into the Rolling Thunder like they had no choice. Native now come in for the third party. Luxford gets a shield swap in time to stay alive for a few more shots. Ultimately likely going to go down. Native have just a knockdown shield to play. A sliver of cover just underneath this bridge. Will it be enough? Sentinels have come in for the third party. Luda!
01:35:29 Wants to pick up a few Thirsts, a few more kills. This is just one for Sentinels so far, and they can look for so much more. Native go down top five for Sentinels. Ludo with the Beast of the Haunt activated. No perks necessary here, even though he's about to have purple. He's able to get that cleanup. Zenayo taking a different angle, coming up right behind Moist. Ludo gets taken down. Zenayo's won, but they find the... No, no, no, no, no!
01:35:55 No, the cast 2 at the very end.
01:36:00 That was devastating. That was a real panic-inducing moment for me. I felt it as if it was my own squadmate. Unfortunately, that's just how it goes sometimes. It does mean that we're down to three squads. And hey, we've talked up Gaiman Gladiator so much during the course of this game. Let's see how they can navigate this with GKS being the only other three-person team available. LG are still operating as a duo, but if you can just take a few chunks out of GKS...
01:36:30 LG could open things up for Gaiman Gladiators to walk in.
01:36:33 Ja... Das...
01:37:01 Ich glaube, es ist ein ganzes Veränderung von der letzten Runde, wo ein Critical Mistake kostet sie 2, zu dieser Runde, wo ein Genius-Player erneut sie 2, mit einem Chance zuerst. LG hat definitiv geholfen, seit der letzten Runde und ist...
01:37:24 Very, very scary in that endgame. An uncontested Evac Tower should never go off, but when it does, the different position that LG had, if they had all three people up, likely gets them the win over Gaiman Gladiators.
01:37:36 I definitely think it would have. Not only having all three members up would have been important at the very end there, of course, man advantage, but the fact that they had the evac tower on top of the train station too, instead of putting themselves in between both squads, allowed them to then reposition on the other side of the fence line. Even if they didn't get the dub, that was pressure on its own. Now imagine if Gaiman Gladiators had taken a lot of damage from that previous fight versus GKS, what that duo could have done. But...
01:38:01 Not a hero there. Guy McLadiators take the win with 11 KP and with some patient play inside those northern buildings of Skyhook. Yeah, this is gonna be a real what-if situation for a lot of teams, but GG can be very proud, LG can be very proud, as can GKS. When we jumped into our listen-in with Furia, it was actually Furia calling out the move that GKS ultimately made, that they should be the ones to drop in outside of the fence line.
01:38:30 in der Mitte der Skyhook zu machen, um sie durch den Weg zu der Leiste Resistenz zu machen. Das funktioniert für GKS. Sie werden nicht viele Kills bekommen, aber eine 3rd-Place-Finisch aus dem, das bedeutet vieles zu diesem Team, die sich in die Top-3-Squad zu bringen. Moistia kann das aber auch mit einem High-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill sein.
01:38:51 Ja, der Grim Griefer kommt in, um die Möglichkeit zu finden, wie wir in Grandma's Haus gesehen haben, nach der Rotate von Big Mod in Stax zu sehen. Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, Oxygen zu finden, aber nicht die Placement Points, die wir erwarten haben. Ja, die Points von Kills werden helfen, aber das ist nicht die Zone Prediktion, die ich in den ersten zwei Spielen erwähnt habe, und so zu sehen, dass Thaltern jetzt...
01:39:19 Das bedeutet ein wenig für ihre Standings in heute's Games und in den overallen Exzent und TSM. Das ist eine große Herausforderung, aber es ist etwas, was wir immer noch an der Ende des Jahres kommen, und ich kann sicherlich sagen, dass die Nervs sind zu jeder.
01:39:36 They certainly are, and you can tell sometimes it's those little things that your adrenaline is pumping, you know that it matters, and you make a mistake. The other hand, sometimes you can feel superhuman, and I've been seeing some really good endgames from LG. They've made some small moments, not count, but overall, this is a dangerous squad if they can keep playing this consistently. I think a lot of them, Sentinels, Moist, they're getting 10.
01:40:01 11, 9 points each game, and that's a really, really nice thing to see. But someone who knows how to do something like that, maybe even more, it's got their team to sixth place so far in the ALGS, and they're waiting and watching. It's a good time to bring in Phony to chat with us. He's been spending some time checking out the games, and now he gets to bring his analysis and his charm to his broadcast. What's up, Phony? How you doing, man? Yo, can you guys hear me? Just to preface, can you guys hear me?
01:40:28 Yes. The deep voice. Oh, yeah, we can hear you, man. Hey, listen, it's great to have you. And I kind of want to open it up. Just how has this last little bit been? I know we have you on the show, but you guys are sitting in sixth. The ALGS has been great. You're looking not only, you know, regional finals qualifying, but LAN qualified at this point. Talk to me how things have been going on your side personally and with SSG. It's been going good. SSG has been treating us very well as well.
01:40:56 Shoutout to my teammates, both Frex and Zainu. I love Zainu a lot. And what we realized was we needed basically Zainu to be on the front line because every time he was on Bangalore, he just complained that he couldn't see anything. And, you know, I'm going to give it to him. The dude's probably the best fragger in the world in NA. And it may be biased, but he literally just is. And I feel like he could do a lot more on Bloodhound than I ever could. So having on it just makes sense. And then as for Frex, you know,
01:41:25 We wanted to figure something out because he wasn't really comfortable playing with Bang and I've never played Bang. So we only had a little bit of time. So swapping him to Valk was probably the best move and swapping me to Cossack since I've played Cossack before is probably also the best move. And that's how we basically just came up with our comp.
01:41:41 I like that you guys adapted really quickly then to that Season 20 changes. And, you know, being able to be cohesive as a team and staying consistent is everything. But talking about your results so far and the start of the split one season into where you guys are now, you guys ramped up. I mean, were there any hurdles aside from the big Season 20 patch that you guys have to really focus on to iron out what you had to do to get even better and to get even more comfortable playing with one another? Even though you have history, obviously, playing with one of your teammates. Yeah.
01:42:10 Es war einfach nur Kommunikation. Ich fühle mich immer das Problem. Aber wenn Zainu hat, er war wirklich über Kommunikation. Er war Calming literally alles. Unsere Calms waren einfach all over die Place. So, wir haben uns zu machen, dass Freck auf die Calms zu reduzieren und zu reduzieren und zu helfen, mit Co-IGO und zu finden, zu finden, wo wir rote sind, zu finden, die Fights sind und dann Zainu.
01:42:36 On the other hand, is basically calling everything, mostly everything, in a fight on whether we should take it or not, or whether he believes we should just back off. And I'll just make the final call, you know. As IGO, I feel like it's not good to have all the stress on you. So having two teammates that can communicate to me just helps a lot.
01:42:55 Now, Phony, this is my favorite time because I've got a bunch of questions for you. And here I get to ask them when we go over the final circles from the perspective of a professional IGL. So let's go ahead and bring those up because we've had three very different rounds. The first one over by Countdown. We saw a lot of teams stack in here early on. How do you actually navigate getting out of Countdown or whatever you're doing when you're playing in a tight spot like this that has so many teams in the same area?
01:43:25 Was haben Sie gesagt, dass sie das Spiel zu pushen haben?
01:43:52 Ich fühle mich, wenn er das Kommen mehr auf Nocturnal hat, dann hätte er die Call-To-Drop gemacht. Und sie würden ihre Seite schneller spielen können mit Bangalore.
01:44:01 Speaking of that, I mean, we're talking about comms and communication. You were actually saying the same thing about your squad, that it's about making space for the most important calls. So when, say, you're in a position like LG's right here, and you're prioritizing who to focus and when, do you have a system outside of volume for these things?
01:44:24 Ja, es ist eigentlich, wie ich gesagt habe, wenn es um Endgame geht, ist es gut, dass die IGL geholfen. Es ist gut, dass die Fragger geholfen, aber wenn die IGL geholfen wird, dann die Endgame geht sehr schnell. Aber wenn man viele Leute auf dem Team auf die anderen Pläne geht, weil ich weiß, dass Sweet wollte, und er war zu sagen, dass Slayer etwas zu tun, aber Slayer war etwas anderes, und er hat auch Kaussegelt.
01:44:51 auf der 3rd Partie, die sie auf Heite gemacht haben. Es war nicht nur die Kommunikation, aber die IGL zu halten, die Dinge zu hören und zu hören, es hilft, die Endgame besser. Jetzt, Cooldown Management, wie du schon erwähnt, ist so wichtig. Und ich liebe die Callout auf Causticult. Das war eine andere Situation, wo wir die Survival-Items haben, haben wir den Kursen.
01:45:18 2 Evacs, 1 Mobi. Do you even pick up a Mobi? How are you making sure that your team navigates the survival items appropriately? I feel like it's always important to carry a Mobi on your team. I feel like 2 Evacs are always worth it. I always tell my teammates to drop me the Evacs so I can place it where I think is best. That way they don't ever get confused on where we're going or where to place it. You know, because I know where to place it. I know where we're going and I'm going to make the final call. So they usually just drop me an Evac if I don't have it and they'll keep the Mobi.
01:45:48 Ja, ich glaube. Ich glaube, das ist eine gute Information auf diese Minutia, die wir nicht oft oft sehen oder sogar sehen, oder zu sehen. Great Fragen, DIA.
01:46:03 Und hier sehen Sie die Standings. So Boney, take a look. What catches your eye here? Is their team performing well? Is their team maybe a little surprised at their performance so far?
01:46:28 Ich bin eigentlich froh, dass Exet nicht so gut ist. Ich fühle mich, das war ihre Woche zu performen. Ich bin nicht froh, dass TSM nicht so gut ist. Sie sahen sehr unkontrollen. Sie sahen, sogar in den Scrims sind sehr unkontrollen.
01:46:43 Und ich fühle mich, in comparison zu DZ, sie sind nicht einfach, wenn sie in Skrims zeigen, dass sie wohl nicht sind. Ich fühle mich, in DZ, wenn sie in Skrims uncomfortable sind, in LGS, Zerra wird immer wiederholfen. Aber ja, ich bin auch sehr froh, zu sehen FURIA gut zu sehen. Ich habe nicht gedacht, dass sie in der ersten Platz sein würden, aber sie hatten eine unglaubliche 2nd Spiel. Und dieses Mann zu machen Wraithswerk ist echt insane. Wir wussten ihn, er war tweaking, aber...
01:47:12 Hey, he's making it work. He's making it work. He's making it work. I love it. It's good to see Wraith back in there. And Tony, it's always good to see you on the broadcast. Whether we're casting over you or whether you're joining us here for the halftime, man. Congrats. Good luck with everything coming up with SSG. And thanks for spending your time with us here. Thank you. It was nice being here. See you guys later. And I hope you guys do a good job for the rest of the broadcast. Love you guys. Awesome. Thank you, man. All right, Tony. Always a pleasure to work with him, Vicky. Just a great guy.
01:47:41 He's great. I always love talking to Phony. Even after a lot of these LAN events that go down, Phony is a very positive pillar in the Apex community. So being able to talk to him a little bit, especially his thoughts on teams, like he's surprised to see Duguid, it's always enjoyable to see why. His breakdowns were fantastic alongside with Udea. I'm surprised you guys keep leaving me alone with IGLs. At some point, they're going to start asking for help. I have too many questions.
Twitch Drops und Community-Interaktion
01:48:0401:48:04 Well, you did a great job as well, and I really loved hearing what he had to say. We've got Twitch drops for you who are watching. Guess what? It's free. It's yours. All you got to do is do what you're doing. Watch. You will get this as long as you have. We have drops enabled on every single Play Apex stream right now, and watching this one means that you will get a free holo spray.
01:48:28 Kind of Fuse-Style. Look at this, fellas. I like it. This was one of my favorite ones. I like the Reigning Champ one coming up in April. But whatever one you like, whatever one you are interested in, as long as you're watching these Hollow Sprays for over an hour, these Hollow Sprays will be yours. So stay tuned. Hang out. We got plenty more broadcasts where you can earn yours. Keep stopping by. More Apex Legends action is coming at you.
Analyse von Teamleistungen und Strategien
01:48:54
01:48:54 You had some great questions, and so many questions that now we have to give you a break in order to just catch your breath, man. We appreciate it, and we'll see you after that in Game 5 and 6. Vicky, it's you and me, though, and we get to kind of start talking Apex in a way. Well, A, first, fun to cast with you. It's been a minute. But B, what a day, and we have stakes on it. And I think I love just to kind of get your thoughts on what Phony said, which is he expected a better day from Xset.
01:49:21 Because they needed it so much. And he also mentioned TSM feeling a little uncomfortable. Have you recognized the truth in that? What were your takes on those things?
01:49:31 They really love this Valk. I mean, I know Raven really loves the Valk, but I'm just... They come and perform at the very end, like when we're sitting on the edge of our seat waiting for TSM to have those results, and they really do perform to the best that they can, but now we're transitioning into Stormpoint Reindade, and if they didn't find that momentum on Worlds Edge, we know that TSM usually has those games that they clutch out on Stormpoint as we take a look at all the three different final circles that we had on each different...
01:50:00 von Matchdayen in Stormpoint hier. Ich liebe es, und es machte man sehen, wie klar ein Pattern es kann. Und obwohl jeder Tag ist anders, wenn man Day 3 hat, wo wir zwei ECHO-HQ Endings hatten, und auf EMEA, wir hatten zwei ECHO-HQ Endings, das auch. Es hat die Theme für was das war, und es hat mich wirklich geholfen.
01:50:25 Ich glaube, FURI hat sich ein Spiel aus, was wir gesehen haben, was wir gesehen haben. Aber natürlich, hier auf Stormpoint, können Sie diese Dropspots sehen. Wer du möchtest? Und wer habt ihr einen Eindruck?
01:50:42 Dropspots, Vicky. What I was thinking about was, remember in the early 50-50s of Split 1 for 0-4 with Legacy and Moist, where Moist came out on top every time. Even though Legacy would get really close, eventually they strayed away and they went to Devastated Coast, which has okay loot. It's not terrible, but when it comes to the rotation points, you have to think about how you're going to be trailing behind Meat Lovers. Legacy being a team that we had to watch to see what they're able to do and maintain themselves within the top 10, top 15.
01:51:12 Und als wir starten werden, ein Team wie Moiss werden, hat keine Probleme mit dem Kampf zu nehmen, besonders mit der Aggressivität sie sind, auf der edge der Circle. Als wir in Stormpoint landen, ist es Zeit, um noch ein weiteres Spiel in der ALGS. Game 4, Out of 6, in Matchday 8. Wir haben nur ein paar Tage leften, bevor wir wissen, wer wird landen.
01:51:37 Und das bedeutet, dass du es gott zu machen. Wir Transitionen. Und in dieser Weise, vielleicht ein Team, wie Exet, der nicht gut start hat und braucht es, wird finden ein Weg zu haben. 10 Punkte, glaube ich, nur in diesem Moment. Und ich denke, die andere Sache, Vicky, dass wir hier nicht sehen, zumindest im Moment, dass du ein bisschen überrascht hast, oder Moist-Legacy, zu gehen. Wenn du diese 50-50s hast, ist es anders, weil du kannst du ein Team landen und ...
01:52:05 Ich glaube, es gibt einen Blumen, einen Blumen, und dann plötzlich ein Great Weapon. Hier, die Parody ist anders. Es ist mehr einfach aus dem Bord. Du wirst du nicht bekommen, weil es einfach nicht passieren wird. Du wirst nicht passieren. Du wirst vielleicht nicht passieren, aber es wird wahrscheinlich ein Blumen, aber es wird ein Blumen-Blumen. Und ich denke, das kann, in einer Weise, die Leute auswählen, von den 50-50s zu wollen. Es ist sogar riskier, aber es wird dir wissen, dass wir wissen, was wir werden mit der Seite sein und auf der Seite sein. Und natürlich, auf unserer Seite.
01:52:31 You know what, I don't know what they're dealing with is Meat Lovers that don't go over by Launchpad and instead landing by Stormcatcher where they immediately took the Trident away from TSM to see if they could get the Evil Harvester as fast as possible and then just dip. You saw Verhulz actually pinged them before they got away, so they're going to be taking a look at that side and that choke potentially if Meat Lovers are going to be able to immediately just prioritize their rotation as it does look like that. And that means that TSM may inevitably run into Meat Lovers if they stay there by the end.
01:53:01 We've seen a very similar circle pull towards that north choke point in that little small house north of Barometer that leads into Spider Cave where Skirt is actually right behind right now. And we know that teams that early rotate to that building end up paying for it, especially with the amount of costs that we have in the lobby. That is a good point as well. Notably today, kind of.
01:53:29 Wir sehen uns nicht mehr, was wir sehen.
01:53:53 RK in at the charge with Luda and Zenile right behind. Had a chance to make me pull something crazy off. Zenile going down to a caustic canister. But they've been willing to fight. They've been getting points off of fighting. And I think they've just yet to put together a full win. This could be it.
Stormpoint-Strategien und Legend-Picks
01:54:11
01:54:11 You gotta see here, since we are on Stormpoint right now, there's also so much other possibilities to level up your Evo Shield. You got the wildlife out here between the Flyers, the Spiders, aside from the Evo Harvesters and the Bins themselves. Native Gaming, one of the only teams rocking the Seer, by the way. Seer, Bangalore, and Caustic slotting down the hill. But Klain has been making this work, and this is definitely one of those left-field legend picks that has allowed Native to work into their strengths.
01:54:40 even if it's not the traditional blowdown that we keep seeing from these other teams. I like Seer on Klain. Vicky, I'm a big fan of that. I know we're not seeing it, but for me, Seer really is very decent. I mean, definitely a character kind of like Wraith, I think actually may be in a better position across the entirety of the meta to use it than Wraith in terms of the value of those skills are still incredibly valuable. You hit somebody with a focus of attention and exhibit in terms of teamfights.
01:55:09 are really game-changing. And when you have a character that, when he does the right things, can change the game, I think he's always going to have a presence. Seer, sometimes, though, in our leagues, just a little bit of everyone's doing it or nobody's doing it, very much like Caustic. And right now, it just seems like most of the crew have gone, yes, he's good, but not quite worth it. Klain going against the grain there. But as people start to fly into Barometer, we know that at least they...
01:55:35 A lot of players realize they need to do the same thing here, which is try to find a safe spot early.
01:55:40 And while more of these teams situate themselves inside some of these buildings north of Barometer, and I like how you bring up the Seer pick, we could also talk about other counterpicks, seeing that the fact that there is basically a Cossack on every team minus maybe one team or two teams, which means where have the Watsons gone? Furyk is the only, yeah, like Furyk is the only one running Watson right now on Stormpoint, and it's his Watson, funny enough, that's on the Watson right now, but if there's no Watson...
01:56:07 Und ich denke, dass...
01:56:35 Ich denke, Valkyrie, das 3D Charakter war Bangalore, aber da ist wirklich ein 3D swap-off, dass wir sehen auf World's Edge sehen.
01:57:05 Und auf Stormpoint. Und so, die Konters haben jetzt zu kommen. Ich denke, das ist wo die regionalen Finals, die regionalen Interpretationen von diesen Metas, Vicky, werden in den nächsten Wochen wiedersehen. Und natürlich, auf Land, weil das ist wo wir APEC-North sehen, dass man mehr Interesse in der Art und Weise mehr Interesse in der Art und Weise, wie sie spielen. Und Watson, natürlich, Features Heavy, da und Features ein bisschen mehr in EMEA.
01:57:28 Talk about different legend compositions. The only catalyst that we've also been able to see right now is the cat wall has come up from enemy, engaging in a fight where they actually ended up backing up and it's LG, but they got the utility out of them. They got that wall up and they were just looking for an opportunity to go for that evil harvester and it looks like LG did lose out on a member, which is why you see Sweet just backing away right in front of Disguise. Very hard fight right here. We actually saw this last week.
01:57:56 become the spot where the game was won right now we know that that is going to be looks like the outside well very very far outside of the zone so they will have to move but lg going at it with disguise who are notoriously late at rotating it seemed we'd mentioned except up on the north as well starting to make their way down vicky
01:58:17 See so many of the other teams that are sharing some of those buildings by Barometer, while the fight in Pylon has not stopped. This is Legacy versus Oversleepers, and in the distance is TSM and Meat Lovers, where they neighbored each other earlier on in the north side of the map. This is the difficult rotations that you have when you have such a south pooling circle, literally pooling on the opposite end of where they land by Lightning Rod. So Legacy now engaging on this fight by Pylon may have an invite to a third or maybe even a fourth party from Meat Lovers.
01:58:46 This is a very interesting fight. It's a fight that could take a long time. There's so many ways to delay it and for a solo to kind of be a bit pesky that I think it's wise for teams to not overcommit here. And TSM, although they are firing back, you can see the Valkyrie missile swarm from Evan and trying to just say, don't mess with us now. As they move in, they're going to run into oversleepers who, despite being one of our, I think in the...
01:59:14 Bottom 20, maybe bottom 10 of our teams in North America overall have had a really good set today and I think are playing like they have some momentum onto them. So TSM going to be wearing on both sides here as they figure out how they're going to try to wrap, whether it's towards Legacy and Furia or towards Oversleepers.
01:59:34 To highlight how much better they've performed, at least so far today, as the Sentinel shots come out, they're actually in very last right now in the region, Randy. I didn't want to say it unless I was absolutely sure. I gave them 10 spots.
01:59:51 Nobody is safe. Oh, say it right now. They are less, but this is the ramp up that a lot of these teams need to find that confidence, to find what Season 20 has brought, so that way they can come back again and figure out what they can do to stay on the top end of the overall standings as we take a look again at more of these teams that are taking their time to rotate, playing by the edge. Meat lovers have gone from all the way on the other side of Pylon now, over by Cito, and then you can currently see Disguise making their way.
02:00:20 von Cascade. More of these teams are going to be facing off against each other on that northern choke that then leads into Barometer. I'm thinking the choke that leads from Cito Station in between the Spider Caves, which is why I said sometimes that small building where Skirt had taken control of early in the game could be a little risky, but while TSM make this rotate, they already got the Evil Harvester right next to them, but they're being gatekept. Let's tune in to a listen with TSM to see how they play this out.
02:00:47 Ich denke, wir haben zu überstehen und fangen. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut. Ich bin gut.
02:01:19 Yeah, they might fight and we third party. They are getting shot and held out though. I think we have to walk up over here now. Everybody pop a mechit and we valkal into zone. Yep. This is my last mechit. My last mechit. Pop a mechit now. I can drop you on F3. Hop in one.
02:01:48 Ich habe einen neuen Mecker da.
02:01:51 I like this decision from TSM. Why? Because in the outskirts of this fight where they were considering third party is LG in Jurassic taking a ring console. And there's GKS that are waiting for LG to finish skating that ring console to then look and poke at the teams that are still fighting like Furia and Legacy. So wrapping around that rock is definitely the greatest move that you could do, especially since you're one of the teams running the Valkyrie. Jumping right over the Jurassic Park fence though, no electricity could maintain them. It's LG that lost on Slayer earlier.
02:02:20 Still playing this out as a duo and Funk almost going down with GKS taking some shots at them and Legacy trailing behind them. Amazing, amazing stuff there just to even stay alive. Obviously they've been down to two players for the last couple of times and seen them after round three has closed LG, but they continue to fight on. Vicky, I think that decision TSM made.
02:02:43 Could be a game winning decision it doesn't there's still a lot to do there in zone with moist esports now on the backside with no team behind them but the fact that they would have had to get through LG furia legacy and then drop in gaming with the skies probably rotating after that the exact same patting by just valve ulting and running through zone they avoid all of those teams and now sitting pretty and leave the chaos out there that's the type of decision that a good IGL so an experienced team like TSM make
02:03:11 Und das ist warum sie immer, obwohl sie nur 4 points haben, nach 3-Games haben, immer noch ein Problem.
02:03:16 Und das ist auch so, wie sie versuchen, sie zu versuchen, die Ideen zu machen. Manche zu sagen, ob wir eine Third-Party sind, oder ob wir einfach nur die Positionierung machen können. Und das ist das, was wir hier verhindern, auch. Weil, wenn sie durch Jurassic Park getrennt haben, es ist vieles zu öffnen, und Sentinels ist vieles zu halten, die Jungle-Side von der Brücke. Und vieles von dem hier, von North of Barometer, was diese Teams hier nicht wissen, ist, dass die Circle der Circle ist. Skirr dachte, es könnte das Northern-Bilding, das Tiny-Bilding-Bilding von Spider-Cave. Es ist nicht. Es ist auf dem Punkt, auf der Obstigen.
02:03:46 Diese Teams machen die Rotate, als die Circle ist hinter ihnen. Und Disguys ist es, um die GKS zu cleanen.
02:04:10 They rotate late, we already know that. But two evac towers, they wave at each other up in the air, stay naughty and designful. Looks like those coordinated flybys that we see. And one of the things that I love about DSG here is they take an edge and they don't try to fight for more. It's not about Godspot, it's just get in, let's stabilize, and let's see what we can get.
02:04:30 Especially this late, too, when you know so many teams are already gonna find their own buildings or barometer since the first circle. It's gonna be tough to find any space that's left, and Disguise being on that Catalyst and having that Catwall on landing from these EVEX are equally important, but they don't really have a lot of cover to work with once more of these teams circle in, other than the natural cover that the crates to their right provide.
02:04:55 I would imagine most of the pros are taking the third Piercing Spike, because that's just so valuable. But everybody's got a different thing. We kind of thought some of the certain perks that when we first thought looked good, actually have now seen them, though they look good, maybe overshadowed by some of the more utilitarian ones, ones that suit the team. So either way, being able now to also kind of get back to the old Catalyst after a few nerfs with her level 3 perks.
Spielverlauf und Team-Taktiken
02:05:22
02:05:22 You can just see the raw value of the ability means they can go, they can hold a corner, they can still be exposed like they were and survive and just buy some time. It's not worth fighting, so a good showcase of different legends here in this one. Right there, though, a Sentinel shot goes in, but just Presley and Scurryfire right back in Xset, a little bit in trouble. They've got a long way to go with 17 seconds left and three teams staring at them, including Oversleepers.
02:05:47 Ich höre ein Res passieren, Evac Towers kommen aus überall, Illusion flying in, mit Eurys, die Beast of Lumpen vorhanden, so sie einfach nur die Scan zu sehen. A lot ist passiert mit der Circle zu sehen. Also sah das Sentinel-Shot mit der Gold Sight.
02:06:05 Unfortunate there for Oversleepers, except they do more damage than they take, which is huge for them. 10 points after 4, sitting in 13th place.
02:06:34 After 3, excuse me, in the 4th. Can they put together a win? Nocturnal's certainly going to want that. And with that red EVA 8, maybe takes a little bit of damage. Man, that range is crazy. Players aren't used to it. An extra 20% is going to happen here, especially on the ultimate. And so Koi trying to fire back. And with the wingman EVA 8, it's going to be hard to beat them. But they're getting taken down. My goodness, Orioles in drop-in gaming.
02:06:59 We're putting in work. Can Koi do something crazy? Oh, the Wingman's good, but I'm not sure it's good enough.
02:07:05 He can't capitalize on that. The rest of Fury is inside of this building, but he tries anyway. Well, he gets pinged from every direction. Koi gets taken out. And Exit go out in 13th. Nine lives meet them back in the lobby. And Disguise are having one heck of a game from their rotate. Now playing off that slight low ground lip. They try to push out from the building here, but Tibby's not alone. He's got Design and Enemy right there to hold hands with him. Disguise, 40 points, second place. But they haven't had that W yet. We saw it after five.
02:07:34 FURIA, will they have to move? Yes, quite a bit
02:07:58 Es wird ein schwerer Weg für his Watson, aber man sieht hier in der Lefthand-Görner, Führer auf der Topf des Lobbys. Sie müssen all den Weg nach vorne gehen, Vicky. Es ist leichter gesagt als getan. Wie können sie das Rotate finden hier? Skyward Dive? Wow. Okay. Risky. Wir nehmen die RISK. Wir nehmen die N.A. Valk Skyward Dive. Es ist sehr traditionell hier für ein Cirkel wie das, wo mehr of diese Teams...
02:08:22 Die Leute sind in der Nähe des Chaos zu spielen, in der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe der Nähe
02:08:50 Finding a way here to find ten kills, a part of his assist and kill total nine. He's one off. Timmy is firing. I'm not sure even he could do this. Somehow he stays alive long enough and it's just designed for who's left.
02:09:05 Es ist ein Fakt, dass es nicht der Team der Mannschaft war, was der Mannschaft mit ihm war. Es war jemand, der auf die Seite grieft ihn. Moist hat die High-Ground. Sie sind all diese Aktion, und sogar durch die Smoke, sie nehmen die 30-30-30. Aber ich weiß nicht Moist, dass das High-Ground ist, weil ich TSM, ja, TSM ist gerade unter dem. Wir nie hatten eine Chance zu sehen, bis jetzt. Aber diese sind great Spots. Great Spots für Moist.
02:09:33 Not a great spot for TSM, but in terms of getting the job done, they're in Vinyl Zone. They have a Skyward Dive, assuming that that is ready. And so it's just a matter of timing when they want to do that. But they are safe, at least for now. Waltzy realizes where they are, though. And so they might have some grenades. Maybe just going to be wary of it and try to watch angles and make sure no funny business happens.
02:09:57 TSM could creep up to the right side if they wanted to. And I believe there's still a slight high ground opening if they really want to take that skyward dive. I'm not expecting that. But the bangle could provide that pressure and they up on this high ground here. And it's going to provide pressure onto Fury who are neighboring that side who are getting sent on by another team.
02:10:17 Not TSM haben die Chance zu gehen, sie sind. Skyward Dive in die Air ist Hal Verholz und Reps. Wo sie werden, niemand weiß noch, aber wir wissen, Furia ist auf der ground. Second place, zurück und zurück, ping-pongen zwischen ihnen und Disguise. Furia loses 1, und sie lose 2, und sie lose 3. Keion ist aus, und Furia ist aus, auch mit 5 Squads left. Und das war TSM, auf der Fall. Was? The green light, while keeping ihre backs cleared out von Moistat, kann sie schießen at sie. Sie müssen die Wall.
02:10:47 You don't need a Digi, you don't need a Turbo, you got the Havoc here!
02:11:14 Well, when it comes to getting the job done, with a god spot like that, you knew Moist wouldn't have an issue. They threaten the rest of the lobby, and they pay
02:11:43 Und ich denke, das ist unser Spiel, wir machen es so gut. Und sie gehen mit Havox und schießen. Felt wie Verhulst, der Valkyrie in der nicht schießt. Ich denke, ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, das ist unser Spiel zu sein.
02:12:11 It's the fact that they also, talking about Moist, they didn't have their ultimates online for that final circle. And they're part of that slow rotating side. So while all the chaos was happening in front of them, no one was going to look at Moist sliding down. The teams that were playing out in that open field, the Little Note cover, they were playing for second, third place. So that was the risk that they were willing to take mathematically to see if they could get the KP that they need. So that way it could make up for the lack of placement point if they don't take second or first.
02:12:40 It's been very inconsistent for these teams on who's winning as well, because we have seen a lot of these final zones where people are a little bit...
02:12:48 Das war FURIA hat wirklich, wirklich gezeigt, dass sie dominieren.
02:13:18 Disguised have also done really well in that without wins yet, but being able to, as a matter of points, and I'm sure we'll see that in just a bit, showcase why they're a team, even if they're in 11th or 13th right now overall, that could win it all. And talking about Disguised, this is a team that looked a bit lost on the release of Season 20, going into Pro League for that first week and last week.
02:13:41 Have absolutely been ramping up. Talk about one heck of a game for Disguise. They rotated from North Pad. They got a good amount of KP fighting for their lives from the north side of where that circle was pulling to. And we even saw them land, find a spot, and still clear out that north side of the map that teams like Furia were struggling to figure out where to go without a Valkyrie Skyward Dive.
02:14:02 Yeah, and that's starting to show why I think maybe on World's Edge, smaller map, you can't get caught out in the same way you can in Stormpoint. Why Valkyrie was so mandatory in the meta. Why, if this becomes more seen and more used and more visible, she might return even more for players as a mandatory pick now. I'm not saying she's fully, fully back, but I do think that, I mean, there's a lot of characters that...
02:14:26 Many teams would have just been dead had they not had a Skyward Dive, had they not had a Valkyrie. Furia, TSM, just part of it. Just two of those teams that have had big, big changes here. But Moist with the win.
02:14:38 This is what I meant by the battered and bruised, you know, in terms of teams not showing up full. It's a 23-point win, which is a really solid win. It's not a 16.1 where it's a little lower. You get 12, you know, placement points and four kills. But look at all the kills across the board, Vicky. That is really unusual, but it is this chaos that people are thriving in. It's KP kind of focused today.
02:15:02 Disguise and Moist took everything from the lobby. 11kp each of them, while Oxygen gets 7, Ifuria gets 8. Very kill heavy for this first top 10 spots here within this game. Really interesting as well. I think that's what's hurting some of these teams who are maybe trying to have a slower pace.
02:15:20 oder nicht die Zonen gut genug. Teams sind in die richtigen Positionen, um sich in den richtigen Fällen zu gewinnen und zu gewinnen. Wir sehen viele Zeros für vier Teams in der Lobby, fünf Teams, excuse mich. Nicht eine Pointe an all, nicht eine KP und natürlich nicht eine Placement. Die Starten sind bei 15. Aber wirklich, wirklich Unusual zu sehen, dass sie sechs Teams ...
02:15:43 Out of 20, not have a single kill. So, really unusual, Vicky, but also it kind of sets up the tone for today, which is a few teams are dominating and running at squads, and it's going to be hard to beat them right now in any traditional sense. If you don't join that, join them.
02:15:59 Yeah, it's that hot and cold performance from LG from World's Edge into Stormpoint. It was unfortunate because we do know what happened. One of their thirds got called out in the middle trying to get the Evil Harvester. It was their caustic, big hurtbox. And in that, they had to play that as a duo. And then they still rotated through one of the heavily contested rotation chokes for that circle, which was Jurassic Park. We saw four teams try to take fights there, which is why TSM survived as long as they did.
02:16:28 Let's take a second and highlight our winners of Game 4 on StormPoint. Moist Esports, moving from Apex South, they were the second team to do so.
02:16:41 And I don't know what it is about APAC South in North America. Genome's taking over the broadcast. He did so earlier. And obviously Dark Zero and Moist, they're taking over NA. It's kind of a joke, but in a way it's not. They are certainly incredible. And with the addition of Gildersons after the old NRG no longer exists anymore and they went their separate ways, MT and Walty have found that perfect third. And I think, Vicky, man, it has really shown as we look at our series results here. What's your thoughts on that? Because Moist, with that win, find himself in third place.
02:17:10 Third, but Furia still stay on top. Maybe not too much of a point difference between them and Disguise. We need to have this pop-off day, and they are performing to those expectations. Again, 11-kill game alongside Moise, and even though they don't take the dub whatsoever from World Edge to Storm Point, they still put themselves in the top three with 45 points, but really close even between our top six teams here, top seven.
02:17:35 It is a very shocking day from TSM so far. And even though they had a much better game number four, it's still very, very low with only two games left. It's looking like winning is going to be a very tough task. But when you look at Disguised and what they're doing, I know Fury is doing amazing. You're putting it all together. It's a point difference. Disguised have as many kills as the fourth place team have total points. 31 kills.
02:18:03 31 total points for Oxygen. That is record-setting pace right there, Vicky. If they keep that up, I mean, they absolutely may just be setting some North American ALGS records. It's just a matter of time before they get dumped, right? You know, it's not just the KP, that placement. I mean, this is a battle royale at the end of the day, but the skies, they always come out to perform and really enjoying how they've been able to keep themselves together with a composition that you're not seeing anywhere else in North America.
02:18:30 Well, Furia, Disguise, and Moist, your top three after four. Game five and six coming right up.
02:20:12 Welcome back, everyone. The action continues here on Stormpoint. What an amazing win from Moist, taking the dub 11kp in their pocket. Well, we make our transition now to Game 5, where some of the teams that we were expecting to have fun, do as well as they have been so far within this first split deal, not doing so hard.
02:20:31 No, it's honestly, it's been quite difficult during today's games to actually get any momentum, especially when the top teams keep crushing as much as they are. But I've got to shout out a few teams, especially Oxygen, who have kept themselves in the conversation, having one of their last days, actually their last day of the regular season.
02:20:52 Every placement point for both Oxygen and GKS to keep them inside of the top 11 teams at the end of this split is so important. It's crazy, that's Group A that won't have any more matchdays here after today as we take a look at the different legend compositions on our screen right now. The Caustics prevail once again Dia, but we do have some swap ups here for some of the teams that found that consistency on Worlds Edge going to Stormpoint to readjust to the POIs that they're landing on here.
02:21:21 At this point, it is a very different map, and we've acknowledged that in many ways, than World's Edge, and one that, like you say with the drops, can be a lot more, not just...
02:21:34 Das bedeutet, dass du immer wieder in den Monument kannst, wenn du immer wieder in den Monument kannst. In diesem Fall, wenn du an Echo HQ bist, und Zone kannst du Cascade Falls spielen. Ich bin sorry, du bist an Edge Team jetzt. Das ist sehr, sehr, sehr schwierig zu spielen.
02:22:03 Granted, from last game, I think I got the sense that a lot of teams were certainly warmed up to it.
02:22:09 Especially with those quick rotates that we saw. And the rotation options that we also heard from TSM's listening. And we get to take a look at where the circle is pulling in. Looks like it's going to be pulling between Mill and Cito here. Right by Checkpoint. Which benefits Dropping Gaming and Native that are going to be rotating from Checkpoint. They'll probably have a Beacon right there. As well as the Evil Harvester that sometimes spawns on the south side of Checkpoint.
02:22:34 You know, Evo Harvesters are so fun because not only are they an interesting way of getting you progressively more powerful throughout the game, but they've also introduced an idea of dynamic but optimal rotations. When you have an Evo Harvester that spawns, say,
02:22:50 If you're Furia over at Wall, and you've got an Evo Harvester both to the north and south of you, yeah, you've got a lot of options. But if you're disguised and the only Evo Harvester is over by Wall, well, you're going over to Wall now. You're either sending one person, or you're traveling as a team. And it's introducing the idea that you either need to take space and cover a lot of ground really early on, or have your rotates dictated by where the rest of the map is placing Evo Harvesters, and then adapt to these constantly moving variables.
02:23:20 Okay, because then that becomes the adaptable pathing that your squad wants to take based off of those objectives of loan that Season 20 has brought in. And it's great here, too. We actually saw LG suffer in the last game. That's why they were the second team to go out in the lobby. They were on the way to getting an Evil Harvester on the outskirts of Wall. There's no Evil Harvester on the south side. Oh, actually, there is an Evil Harvester on the south side of Wall, so they can at least get that one in the middle of their roti. But they're ahead of Disguise, who had tried to cut them off before.
02:23:49 Those are the plays that I really look forward to, is the ratting on EVO Harvesters. I know that somebody is going to do it in some perfectly clip-worthy way. We've had a few teams try, but it has yet to be just the...
02:24:03 ...absolute perfection that I'm imagining in my mind. Now, as you mentioned, LG's Rotate, because they've got Ring Data, it'll be a pretty safe one. They'll be one of the first squads to get into Checkpoint through a relatively infrequently used Rotate. SKRT, however...
02:24:20 Bit of a different story. Do not have the easy move up. Don't even have high ground as they attempt to contest the height of Seto. And instead will have to back away using an unorthodox composition in order to do so. That, my friend, is a lot of rotate. Huh.
02:24:37 The Pathfinder makes his presence known once again in Pro League. And that is with Depressley making his way onto this roster here. With Albert Lilly taking a step down. With Sentinels trying to take shots at them. It's going to be an elongated fight with more of these teams. Taking their time to rotate into that next circle too. Talking about the teams fighting over by this north side.
02:25:00 Ex said, find himself in a fight here, but at least with fun being on this Cossack, they're going to be able to secure the inside of this building. It's Eevee and Lucien that are outside here with the smoke covering their backs. It made me want to get this way, man. You don't want to just leave that there.
02:25:13 Vielen Dank.
02:25:42 from the rest of the squad. That was such a huge answer from Voodoo to send out the Nox Gats before popping the Shield Bat because he knew that they were going to definitely send it on in the moment that they saw that they got the stick with the Arc Star. But they're backing away from the low ground. Eggset gets some time to breathe for now because they see that there's another team in the distance that are just waiting the third party.
02:26:00 You start walking up to that building as Eeveelution, and it is absolutely occupied. Playing on the low ground is not what Eeveelution would have imagined in their perfect scenario of how this checkpoint play would go, but given that you've got Caustic, it's actually not a terrible place. These buildings are really difficult to hold, yes, but it's arguably an even more active spot, since more teams will have to move in from the south side of the map, and Eeveelution could collect a few KP off of that with the wingman they got.
02:26:30 Especially if they try to gatekeep from the Spider Cave side, too. There's already nine teams that have rotated into Checkpoint, sharing the buildings that we just saw right now, while LG is looking below to see if any other teams are going to rotate from the Armory side, exiting out of Cito or Cascade. So many teams like Fury and Meatlovers that take their time to rotate into that next circle will be coming up across that Armory.
02:26:55 Ja, LG ist jetzt sehr gut in der Early-Game, es ist gut in der Mid-Game und es gut in der Late-Game.
02:27:14 ... ... ... ... ...
02:27:41 Und voll purple Evo Shields, too, auf der Weg von der Rotation. So, sie haben sich durch die Evo Harvesters, wie Candy. Und wir sehen uns auf die Circle. Wir sehen uns auf die ganze Team in Checkpoint. Sentinels ist jetzt bereit, sich auf die Party zu bringen, auf der Norden Choke zu bringen. Aber dann muss sie sich auf die Rote all den Weg um, weil wir das als ein sneak peek haben, wo die Circle ist auf der South Side. Die Fight geht weiter, und es sind 9 Lies, die in den Take-Out-Skirt kommen.
02:28:10 Valk stocks just skyrocketed for the teams that predicted that this would be pulling into Checkpoint and now are going to find out that they're wrong. In fact, very few squads are going to get advanced access to that information since that's gatekept by ring consoles that almost no one in Checkpoint has access to. Gaiman Gladiators will find out right now. Almost.
02:28:32 Ich weiß, dass sie eine gute Position in Zone haben, aber viele andere Teams werden warten, um diese Informationen zu adaptieren. Aber, Vicky, das ist eigentlich schon passiert in den ALGS. Wir haben bereits eine Zone in Nordamerika in Nordamerika, dass es nach Checkpoint wurde, dann nach CEDO wurde. Und die Teams, die ihre Homework haben, sind wirklich evidente auf dem Screen. Gaiman, DNO und 9Lives sind in CEDO Station.
02:29:01 Knowing that this is likely to happen again. So few zones are in checkpoint. It's a miracle that a lot of teams have actually prioritized it. This mix up on the circle. You already know it's going to be an absolute bloodbath in this next circle. They do lose out on Louis. They're going for the rest, trying to prioritize that. But these 30-30 shots are putting in the pressure that they need while Furia now make their way into Cito. And DNO are overextending. They're just going to be sitting on that northern building.
02:29:29 und warten für die anderen Teams in Checkpoint zu machen.
02:29:36 Beast of the Hunt does let you freely harass through the smoke, but with the rest of the team so far behind, TSM aren't able to secure any additional kills. Instead, what they're getting is priority on a rotate into checkpoint, when checkpoint isn't even the spot the zone is going. Meatlovers attempting to escape don't have a lot of mobility tools to do so, but this bang ult will certainly help.
02:30:01 TSM will likely have to give up the fight, starting to focus on how they'll get to the south. Their other option, of course, of Alkolt for TSM. That actually could work out quite well, even if they're to take Checkpoint and then find out that they've got to leave. At least they, unlike so many other teams, have the ability to do so.
02:30:17 And not getting caught in the fray, too, even though Meat Lovers is shooting at them from behind. You see Rebs dancing along the 30-30 shots. Waiting by the Rockside here, though. They may try to go for the Valko with the slight lift if he can cover this ground here. But while they back up in time, it's about getting information while keeping up this rotation. Disguise is...
02:30:38 auf der E-Side des Checkpoints. Aber sie werden nicht vollständig in die Neck-Circle gehen. Wenn sie komplett auf der Rock sehen, wo die Neck-Circle ist, und sie haben die Information, dann werden sie viel einfacher Zeit auf dem Rotate gehen.
02:30:54 Since the zone is starting to close in, there's a good chance that TSM fight again anyway, because a lot of teams are being pushed together. Teams like Legacy even, going up against Oxygen Esports on the other side of this, are going to be battling it out in Cascade. Zone 2, still one that you can rotate through, but it is a little bit more punishing, and there's a lot less wiggle room for how you'll play this out.
02:31:17 The fact that Meat Lovers is still trying to go on the other side of TSM. They're trying to out-rotate TSM here. You saw the scan go out from Helm. Just trying to see where they want to go next. You see Rebs pinging right in top of the choke point that Meat Lovers is currently in the middle rotating to. And with them being right behind them, Meat Lovers are going to get to the circle first. If they use that EMP, if they have it, oh, they are. It's going to delay this rotate, but they delete the drone immediately afterwards. And TSM are looking to take this fight by the choke here.
02:31:45 Defensive EMP doesn't even work now. Crypto doesn't really get to be a legend for the next 30 seconds. Fortunately enough, with the zone doing the work for them, meat lovers survive another encounter with TSM. They unfortunately rotate straight in.
02:32:01 und ihr könnt das Team nicht mehr als sie haben, als sie schon seit diesem Spiel haben. Match 5 ist nicht für sie. Tech ist einfach zu fallen. Es ist 2 für Meatlovers, 1 Rat ist left.
02:32:16 TSM sitting pretty saying, well, we weren't the ones to try to counter-rotate fast. And it actually paid off for them. Yanya was looking to see if there's anybody else in front of them. He got caught by the rock just ever so slightly, but it's fine after the evac. They are going to be able to get deeper into where that next circle is going. Legacy being one of the teams to benefit off of their slow rotate. And now right next to Oxygen. Remember, Legacy pushed Oxygen into this position, then went up north, and now we're back.
02:32:43 To harass Oxygen again. It is so clear that Oxygen do not want to fight Legacy, but Legacy just keeps showing up at their door, whether it's intentional or just a...
02:32:54 Honestly, passive act of mirroring, which it very well could be. Legacy are finding themselves in a spot where they're bleeding out a team that continually is trying to run from them. This should turn into a couple KP for Legacy in the next few minutes, but with Disguise flying in right above them, maybe a wrench gets thrown into those plans, as many will be disrupted over the course of the next minute. Everyone's starting to rotate right now.
02:33:17 Oh man, this guy is taking an evac tower to get out of Checkpoint 2. This is where we're going to see all the squads dwindle down. Legacy losing out Unusual earlier on. 19 squads still left here. As Juarez tries to take the side of the building, he gets peed by another team exiting out of the bunker doors behind him. They clean up the KP that they need to go in for the evil shield swap. Slow down slightly by the Bangalore ult, but thankfully at least with some smoke that he could use in the next 15 seconds, it could get into cover underneath these buildings.
02:33:45 Next few seconds could be deadly for Jaguars, though, and yes, they are. TSM rotate in behind them, and that's gonna be the end of Legacy. One member left, one lone member of Legacy, and caught between so many teams. They're out, so are Sentinels, and the ring is gonna claim many more lives before this finishes. There's still not enough squads inside the next zone, and so little space and checkpoint left for anyone to play. Another blessing for TSM on their rotation.
02:34:15 Oblivion! Oblivion!
02:34:37 Normally, the low ground is not good, but when you've got two teams in front of you, you should be able to third party effectively. Unfortunately, dropping Arcology early changes this dynamic. Oblivion are now weak on the low ground, and everybody is going to start committing into that area to be the one, ideally...
02:34:56 Das ist das letzte Squad-Squad-Standig. Die Ex-Set erst haben sie zu clear. Die Backs werden ein paar Kills bekommen. Und wir bekommen die Shield-Swappen als Ergebnis, um ein bisschen Temporary-HP zu geben, auch wenn es über ihre currenten Evos ist. Die Oblivion-Bunker-up-inside. Und dann ihre Wats- und dann ihre Big-Defensive-Tool. Die haben sie wahrscheinlich zu geben, denn die Ex-Set werden nicht für ein Duo stoppen.
02:35:23 Sie creep up hier, close in on the door. Oblivion looking to their backs. They are playing at the Evil Shield disadvantage here. Nice scan to also give them enough information. 12 squads left and Oblivion need to capitalize on the next 25 seconds before the circle closes in and Oxygen just get right behind them.
02:35:44 Exzett hat nicht mehr Zeit mit Danger. Sie müssen sich mit Danger fragen. Sie müssen Danger fragen. Und Nocturnal ist jetzt so, Sliding auf Fjord, nimmt Akimbo. Und jetzt, Popping den Heels, braucht es ein paar Wotzen Fences. Koi sollte das tun. Für sie ist es Spaß.
02:35:59 Right alongside, they've still got an evac tower in the toolbox for Exet, and just one member of Oblivion left ratting things out behind them. Smoke will cover them on the way out, and Exet face down their next foe, Oxygen, who have survived the gauntlet of Legacy and TSM and Disguised all rotating in alongside them, and currently hold just underneath the rocks leading into Seto.
02:36:23 And now Disguys are going to be forced to drop down. Popping Beast of the Hunt. Right underneath them is TSM. They know they send out the Thermite. Stop them from trying to out-rotate them. Timmy trying to play off the rock. But they're getting shot from behind too.
02:36:37 Das war das Solo von Oblivion, der hatte...
02:37:01 If you told me that going into this game...
02:37:27 mit dem wie der Oxygen wurde, von so vielen Gruppen, die sich in den nächsten Ringen befinden, sind sie in der nächsten Ringen sitzen? Ich würde dich nicht sagen, aber mit Exxon neben dem, wer weiß ich nicht? Ich weiß nicht, es wird es sein, aber ich weiß nicht, es wird es sein, also wird es sein, also wird sie mit dem, und sehen wie sie in den nächsten Ringen sind.
02:37:53 Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
02:38:14 We should take, we should take. Oh, okay. We need to fight right, we need to fight right. I'm gonna bangle left and we fight right. Yep. What do you put in one? They're close, they're close. I'm bumbleed out. There's an armor soft on the right. Husticle thing. Yep. No techs, no techs. Can you tell me where they are? I don't know where they are. I'm sitting. Yo, kill, kill, kill, kill. Wait, we can play quarter, we can play. Yeah, yeah, we're doing, we're doing. Let's side. Play to me, play to me, play to me, play to me, play to me. Let's walk back in.
02:38:43 Oh my god, I'm one shot
02:39:06 Ex-Set are on the ropes, but they're still surviving with this smoke. Oxygen and TSM both pressuring, but which one will commit? Will anyone? TSM are slowly bleeding out Ex-Set behind these rocks, and somehow, miraculously, TSM have cover!
02:39:21 Dexin hat nichts mehr zu gehen. Sie haben nur die Smoke für ein Natural-Cover und sie sind gerade behinder den Mobile-Respawn. Look at was Nocte hat. Er ist die Bat, aber er ist in zwischen Oxygen. Es war nur ein Zeitpunkt, bevor die beiden Teams verletzten. Und jetzt Oxygen ist Co-existing mit TSM bei The Rock.
02:39:43 Now TSM and Oxygen should not be able to live with each other. This is sort of a one cannot live while the other still survives situation. And TSM know that as well as anyone looking at Oxygen right now. They've already got a knock in the kill feed and should know that it's the squad just ahead of them. Verhulst takes to the height. Cannot overswing this, however. So many squads are looking at this. Everything for TSM hinges.
02:40:08 On this rock. There's a little bit of cover between them and Oxygen. It's just free range for the team shooting at them from CETO. TSM take out Oxygen Esports. Our four last remaining squads right now in this final circle. You got DNO still alive. TSM, Furia, and Nine Lies.
02:40:28 And of all of these teams, TSM should be the last one that has to fight. With Furia, Nine Lines, and DNO all on the opposite side. No catalysts in this lobby. No way to separate yourself for just a little bit of breathing room. The zone is the one thing that will force all of these squads together. And Lacer's got a fantastic position, but it's still not one that's going to age particularly well. Just a Gargoyle hanging out on the high ground before he's forced to drop down.
02:40:56 See the team right in front of them. No Turbo on the Havoc. He gets beamed, having to hide behind the fence line to his left. So we TSM that know exactly the squad that's hanging out on the other side. Call in a Mobi for what it looks like here for some extra cover. It's going to be crucial with all these teams looking at TSM here. Blackroll activated. Nine Lions actually trying to call in. They actually try to push on TSM. This could greet both of these teams and be the green light for Furia.
02:41:22 There are so few Horizons in the lobby, but just the last one standing!
02:41:27 Watsen kommt in, in der final 1v1, und Watsen!
Furia sichert sich den Sieg in Spiel 5 mit beeindruckenden 1v1-Clutches von HisWattson
02:41:56
02:41:56 What is Game 5 for Furia? Are you kidding me? His Watson! Another dub for Furia. They took Game 2 and they take Game 5. What an end circle that was. Nine lives. They opened the floor for Furia. They gave that to Furia.
02:42:20 That is just a situation. I mean, Nine Lies played really, really well to take out another team, turn it into a good spot for them. But at the end, with how chaotic that got, that is a moment where at the end of that match, the second and third place teams can just put down their controllers, their mice and keyboard, whatever it is, and say, you know what? Watson was just better. That's just what happened in that endgame scenario.
02:42:46 Because it came down to a series of 1v1 clutches, and Watson had it in him. But man, was that an exciting endgame to watch. And with so much attention on the north side of the zone, I'm really amazed that there was even a Horizon left in the lobby to do that to TSM. It's the one legend that could have actually changed the fight, and it did.
02:43:07 And they closed in the gap and they capitalized, fully collapsing on TSM at the end, giving Furya the ability to have that entire south side exiting out of Cito free range. So they just were able to waltz in. And we did see the pressure come up for Furya. That's why his Watson was the last one alive. He managed to pop that bat behind the knockdown, which is what came in clutch to find those individual 1v1s, whether it be between the Valkyrie to this side or the Gibby at the very end, playing on the back end of that Moby.
02:43:36 It is really amazing to watch the way that the Legends interact in that endgame. But like you say, just a little bit of clutch play, a little bit of nice navigation and knockdown shields makes all the difference. You know, interestingly enough, who wouldn't have gotten taken out by Horizon ult?
02:43:54 ist FURIA, weil sie hat Wottson. Sie sind wahrscheinlich die einzige Team, die wäre sicherlich gewesen sein. Und es war nicht so gut, es war nicht so gut. Ich möchte auch sagen, Oxygen, dass das sehr gut ist. Despite sie gettetet von TSM, das ist ein guter Spiel von beiden Seiten, Oxygen hat ein guter Platz, hat ein guter Platz, hat ein paar Kills, sollte sich immer wieder auf den Leaderboarden bleiben.
02:44:17 Our overall standings after that match are ready here, guys. Furia take the dub, but nine lies, top three, with 16 kills. A team that was in 24th in the overall standings in NA just had a 16 kill game and a third place finish.
02:44:42 I love you, Lazer, I love you, Nastied, and I love you, Awope. These players have been so positive throughout the entire experience of coming into Pro League. And let's not forget, these are teams that made it in through the Pro League qualifiers. And in Nine Lies' case, made it in by points. They are exceptionally talented, but talent is so often not enough to take you through from the challenger circuit into Pro League. With plays like this...
02:45:10 It's clear that they have aged real well throughout the course of Pro League have learned a lot and are ready to play at the highest level and dominate it. Now the rest of the lobby did fall a little bit further behind. That's it. That happens in every game of Apex Legends. Teams like Oblivion, Disguised, LG barely missing out on the top 10 where Evolution, Sentinels, Legacy, and Skirt all ended up in unfortunately that zero point position. Legacy managing to fortunately pick up at least three kills.
02:45:40 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
02:45:41 And taking a look at our top 3 teams. The results after that game alone. Furia come out on top. 2.7k damage. 9 lies. With 5.2k damage. Is crazy. Each of these members of this team just went off in that game alone. Dynasty specifically 2k damage. And then DNO who called out that circle by the way. While everybody else had it wrong in checkpoint. They were one of the only teams sitting in that.
02:46:10 The northern building over by Seto Station. Let's take a look at the kills from this last game, or rather from the course of the day. Timmy's still on top with Kion and Watson following this up. Gummy Gladiator's actually showing up here as well. And it's interesting to see how...
02:46:30 Wir haben tatsächlich viele Teams, die schon mal wiedersehen. Es tut mir aber das heißt, dass diese Leute zusammenarbeitet sind. Timmy, Enemy, Designful all stehen hier, und Kion und Watson, die premier duo von Furia, mit Madness. Es ist so klar, dass Kion und Watson immer wieder auf der gleichen Seite sind. Das kommt von einem langen, langen Zeit von Apex Legends zusammen.
02:46:51 Es zeigt sich, wie es sich über eine neue Person auf dem Team zu bringen, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zusammen zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln. Weil, Feria, sie machen es jetzt, wenn es wichtig ist, wenn es wichtig ist. Sie nehmen 1st Platz jetzt, nach der Performance in den letzten Spiel. Sie nehmen 2 Dubs in den Tag so far. Kann sie eine 3rd haben, ist die Frage. Mit 33 Kills, auf die Leute, die 31 Kills haben.
02:47:17 Crazy to see this so far, Dio. We gotta see with one more game left. Can't wait. That's gonna be on the other side of this break, guys. You don't wanna miss out on the action.
Ankündigung des Challenger Circuits und Analyse der Legend-Kompositionen in Spiel 6
02:49:01
02:49:01 Welcome back, everyone, to Match Day 8. We are about to pop into the last game of the day, but before we do, I want to take a second to remind you all that the Challenger Circuit is running right alongside the Pro League. In the most recent week of the Challenger Circuit, we want to give a big shout-out to our top three teams, BearGoatAS, who have secured themselves now a spot in the Pro League Qualifier, LC and CCE Ushinix, who came up right behind them. If you want to check out...
02:49:29 der Challenger Circuit für eure Chance zu spielen und auf die 9 LIEs haben, durch den Kursen dieses Splits. Ihr könnt auf w.battlefi.com.algs und dann auf die Pro-League gehen und dann auf die Pro-League gehen. Also, ich bin ehrlich gesagt, Vicky, persönlich, wenn ich diese Spiele bin, ich bin nicht hier denken, ich bin besser als jemand. Ich bin hier denken, wow, ich bin sicher glad ich nicht mehr spielen gegen sie, denn sie sind gefährlich und sie werden sogar sogar sogar sogar in der finalen Match des Jahres.
02:49:57 Ja, es geht darum, die Tideon zu sein, besonders wenn es zu diesem Final Game des Tages geht. Wir haben jetzt den Reigns gegen die Legends, weil das hier ist, besonders für die Teams, die diese Ein-Las-Shot-Opportunität haben, die sich auf den Weg zu bringen. Specifically die Teams von Group A, die wir nicht haben, noch eine Matchdaye nach heute. Und als wir uns sehen, alle Kossacks, auf die Schrauben hier, ja.
02:50:23 Klassik ist überall. Aber es ist die Wahrheit, dass die Teams zu diesen Legend-Compositions sind, sogar Legacy mit Mizul zu sein, auf den Catalyst zu sehen. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob Skrt ist eigentlich zu den Revenant. Wir werden sehen, weil wir sie mit dem Pathfinder gesehen haben.
02:50:41 Game 6, it brings out the best and the worst in us, Vicky. Everyone wants to try something, and if your strategy so far hasn't worked, sometimes that just means pulling out Rev. Because, as many of us will know, playing Apex Legends regularly, Revenant can be incredibly powerful in the right situation. We don't tend to see it nearly as much in pro play, because 75 health in pro play off an ultimate?
02:51:08 Das bedeutet nicht mehr so viel wie es in Ranked ist, wenn man jemanden kann, alleine, relativ leichter. Hier ist es viel einfacher zu koordinieren, dass ein isoliertes Schwung auf einen Person zu bewegen, wenn ein paar Teams verletzt werden, wenn ein paar Teams verletzt werden. Das ist ein heist. Wir nehmen die Trident, und die Trident ist weg. Meatlovers nicht gettet. TSM, get Lightning Rod, und die Car, und...
02:51:37 Meatlovers have white shields in a dream. Verhoz just thugged out that trident right underneath Meatlovers. I can't believe he died away with that. Off the rip. Alright, that's definitely one way to start our final game of the day as Meatlovers are just going to have to run down the hill. No try to ready to go for them. And Verhoz saw that in the last game, by the way. It's just such a weird power move. Like TSM.
02:52:05 Already have Valkyrie. They don't actually need... The Trident is a more dangerous way for them of rotating through the map. But you know what? They get it. They deny an advantage to another team, which I will give them as a tactically beneficial.
02:52:27 It will mean that Meatlovers have a slightly slower rotate. They should get Stormcatcher and all the benefits there with Ring Console, Survey Beacon, Evo Cash, everything, and then be able to make their way into a zone that is pulling us really far up north. And it's time, Vicky, for us to talk about this zone, because while we've got a lot of teams making their way into it, it is going to be really, really far north.
02:52:53 Das bedeutet, dass Teams wie Disguise, die bereits landen in Nordpaterp, haben die Vorteile, wie FURIA, die auf der Wall landen. FURIA, die schon wieder hat einen wirklich guten Tag.
02:53:05 Skirt ist wirklich der Team Name zu einem anderen Level hier. Und mit einem sehr interessanten Kumpf, ich meine... Everyman für sich selbst, wenn man die Vantage und Revenant kommt aus, zumindest in meine eigenen Ranked-Games. Und es sieht aus, dass wir das Ring-Console werden, dankz zu den Perk, die du mit der Vantage bekommen hast, mit der Blue Evo.
02:53:26 Aber sie wissen, dass sie die Nachfolge ist, dass sie die Nachfolge ist, dass sie die Nachfolge ist, dass sie die Nachfolge direkt in die Trident sind, und sie werden die Nachfolge sehen, dass sie die Nachfolge ist. Und die Nachfolge ist, dass die Nachfolge von Launchpad eher nach Launchpad geht, aber es könnte auch nach den Bunker Rocken, die LG-Rotaten sind.
02:53:48 Yeah, LG, White Shields, not fantastic right now, but they're sacrificing their early Evo for a better rotation, a spot that can actually not only put some pressure on Disguise, but hopefully share space with them. That's what you want in the long run as LG, because getting into the north side does come at a premium. Everyone else will have to fight through a lot of open space.
02:54:14 Even wenn du reing Bangalore bist, kann man viele lives claim. GKS ist vielleicht ein bisschen weniger weit open, aber auch wirklich aktiv. GKS hat Blue Shields ist gut, aber von einem Spot wie dieser, wenn sie eigentlich Lockdown für den Long-Term ist, werden sie mit Kills zu gehen. Das ist das, was wir mit dem 2x4 auf der G7 haben.
02:54:38 The only issue here with this position, as early as it is, is you have to consider all the other teams that are going to be rotating from down Beast and Mill. Eeveelution, Sentinels now, meeting up with one another on each end of the rock. Eurich had already popped the Beast of the Hunt. They see them actually trying to navigate around the horizon. After getting... This will be a knock here on the other side. Actually just getting the scan on the other side of the rock here. Y gets beamed, so he's forced to back away and pop this shield bat.
02:55:05 The fact that we're contesting this in a 2v3 though, but a little bit sus. Sentinels don't actually have the resources of the numbers to fight EV Lucian, so them actually trying to fight at all is only delaying a rotation that's already scuffed.
02:55:21 We'll see how Sentinels manage to survive. It has not been their day so far. And honestly, at this point, Sentinels can't really afford to have one that isn't. They're in 21st place in the overall leaderboards going into today. And you've only got to be 22nd in order to drop down into the relegation and have to fight things out in the Pro League qualifier.
02:55:46 Das macht es ein bisschen trickier hier und macht sogar mehr Druck auf ihren Schultern, als sie das auch als ein Duell. LG, mit SWEETs, die Prowlers hier sind. Sie können die E-Bel-Shield schaden, und sie müssen hier, die Double Whites, die sie noch rocken.
02:56:01 Nemesis and Havok in hand with double energy. You see a team landing right on top of them. And these are the bunker areas that we were talking about playing off the low ground of where this next circle could be pulling towards. One of those awkward situations where you kind of miss the old EVO system where you could trade off shields. Sweet will be able to have so much more presence on the map than anyone else because he's Bangalore.
02:56:23 wo Slayer und Funk einfach nur haben, weil sie nicht die Möglichkeit haben, dass sie die Möglichkeit haben, um die Möglichkeit zu pushen, um ein paar Fights zu gehen. E.V. und Lucian wiederholen, um wieder zu spielen, um die Open Space zu spielen. Aber sie haben dann auch Luda gewonnen. Und sie werden dann weiterführen, um die Kills zu werden.
02:56:43 Out in the area near Downed Beast. This won't be in zone for too much longer, at which point Evolution will eventually have to contend with a team like GKS or make their way up through Checkpoint, which I much prefer since it's got a Survey Beacon and plenty of ways out through it.
Turbulente Kämpfe und strategische Manöver im finalen Spiel
02:56:59
02:56:59 Looks like they may be trying to fully contest GKS with the ring console overhead, and while we do tune in to Moist, they're the ones that have the option to go right for the third party behind Nine Lies, who went through the rotation point by Spider Cave, up closer to Sentinels, that they have not stopped this fight. The moment they saw Sentinels weak, playing that out as a duo, they want to fully capitalize, and they get the final kill onto RK, and Sentinels the first team to go out in our final game here.
02:57:28 Das bedeutet, Sentinels, als wir gesagt haben, bereits in eine genügend Position auf den Overall Leaderboards haben nur einen Tag leften zu rectify. Das wäre eine große Überraschung zu sehen, dass Sentinels so far down sind. Sie müssen durch die PLQs spielen, aber es ist, ehrlich gesagt, die Situation we're looking at right now ist. Es ist eine sehr große Herausforderung. Oxygen, als sie heute gemacht haben, in die andere Richtung.
02:57:56 From a middle tier, almost playoffs qualified team, to with several great positions, one that can feel actually pretty safe in their sense of going to playoffs, is missing one right now. One bad game could push them a little too far down leaderboards and make it all the riskier as to whether they actually qual into land or not.
02:58:21 So much to talk about here. Looking at the teams that are now still making their slow rotate into that next circle. TSM being one of them. Probably on a trident. Exiting out of wall to go for the north side of the circle. LG have not moved on this spot. The flyer was taken from him. It's fine. They still have the prowler nest right in front of them. They just do not want to get called out in the middle of this prowler nest. Because it is oxygen and oversleepers that are looking at them from the armory side of things.
02:58:46 I don't mind LG playing this space long term, especially since the zone is likely to pull further north in the grand scheme of things. Turbocharger? Just on the floor for me? So sweet. This is a wonderful place to be, especially now that LG are all on blues. TSM with a bit of a predictive approach.
02:59:07 Sie haben die Möglichkeit, eine Ring-Scan von Walbel zu haben. Sie spielen in der Open-Ground. Sie haben sich mit Experten mit Xset, die bereits auf den Fingern aus der Norden Fingern. Das war die Skyward-Dive, so sie haben ein bisschen zu sehen, wo andere Teams in der Nähe sind, während niemanden will contesten oder geben auf ihre Position, während sie das Bouldern in der Oste. Legacy engagiert in eine Fight hier, too, bei Cascade. Sie nehmen Skurry, hinter dem Rest-Skurt.
02:59:37 We're playing inside of the building. Presley actually manages to hide in the corner. Legacy just continuously moving along. They don't have a Bloodhound here which is huge when it comes to finding that rat that's still alive.
02:59:51 I can't believe they missed that. I mean, that means banner recoveries, that means heals, that means you can even actually, as Skirt, go down south of Cascade and pull off a whole res before Legacy are any the wiser. They're already starting to path down, though, so keep your eyes out. If you see any pings, and we do, on the last remaining member. Hebino does go down once again. Getting in the Trident is not the move that we perhaps thought it was, and Skirt...
03:00:19 ...due go down. Unfortunate for them. Oh, Bumpercara is in that choke. It couldn't get through. It was too thick as Nine Lies on the high ground. 18 squads left after saying goodbye to Spirit. Taking this fight over on the north side of Checkpoint. Up on the high ground, they see the team that's right next to them. They jump off of the evac tower to take control over the roof. Nice scan gear.
03:00:42 And before they drop down, just trying to see if we can hold a different angle. I love the different angles that we're seeing from Nine Lies. They are playing this amazingly so far. Remember, if any Legend can do it, Horizon can finish a fight. Watch the use of the Ultimate as AWOPE goes down! Nine Lies!
03:00:58 Ich werde jetzt ein bisschen panischen, als Nasteed schon mal fallen. Cenoch ist wirklich viel Arbeit mit dem Mastiff, und in kommt der Third Party von Afar. Wir werden nicht mehr sehen, dass andere Squads werden das für euch machen können. Ah, Moist kommt in der perfecten Zeit, wie sie immer so machen. Waltzy gets das Knot onto Duplex. Und jetzt ist es ein Problem, auf Aisle 3. 9 Lies?
03:01:25 Surprisingly, still alive, even after that initial engagement. That's just a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
03:01:32 Und Moist, einfach nur in die Welt zu gehen. Es ist so einfach für sie. Ein paar Kühle-Dons expended, ja, aber es ist nicht der Ende der Welt zu beenden, ein Caustic-Ult. Es wird ein bisschen schwierig, aber es wird ein bisschen schwierig, aber zu koordinieren die nächsten Rotation. Wir sehen uns die Evac-Towers von hier, Krust, eigentlich, um zu nehmen, und Moist, mehr als bereit zu versuchen, die Evac-Tower aus der Evac-Tower, als sie jetzt sind. Will Krust survive?
03:01:59 He's on the Gibby. He's literally two-shot basically. He gets away in time and gets out of the scary hands of Moist. So that's two solos that we have to work with here. Nine Lies and D&O.
03:02:14 Legacy still up with the Horizon. Now that Nine Lies have been taken down, they are one of the last ones, and they find the only team they could have possibly engaged with that easily. Oxygen, who were immediately booking it out of the Armory. A Catwall expended too, a little bit odd for Legacy, but it does keep other teams from effectively firing at them while they pushed up here. It'll mean that they get at least a few more KP before ultimately having to find their way into cover.
03:02:43 This catwall expenditure, though, does mean that though oxygen falls, though a few kills go their way, you no longer have a lot of safety as Legacy to move in towards the next zone, where oversleepers will actively get keyed.
03:03:11 Still finding some more of the suppressed fire. A1s, still clutching this up. Has tech, has hikes, has already taken down two. And with Verhulst being forced to run away into the arms of another, we've got nothing left for Verhulst to do. Survival is the only thing. Nice clutch up by A1s.
03:03:39 It doesn't even look like he has a bat. He just had to pop a shield. So he at least popped the medkit. But now the circle is closing in. And the pressure is on leaving TSM as a solo. Matching that with Dia Note who is still alive by the way. Legacy playing this out as a duo. And the Nox grenade to grief them from below. Moist esports are overhead. And you can see the way that they're playing this space with confidence. Kraber in MT's hands. We've seen this before Dia.
03:04:07 Maybe no Trick Shot here! Nice! Another one! That's the crack afterwards! Hasn't actually found the rest of the kills yet, but the Fade Away Kraber shot as well has Moist engaging with two different teams. That is not something you see every day, but balancing Legacy and Oversleeper's MT is going to go for another shot!
03:04:32 Wait for it. He's getting into position. The receivers are playing right underneath them. They do hear the rat right next to them. Actually taking a look at him. Oh, you think you've escaped from Moist's grasp. It is the solo from DNO that falls to Moist eventually.
03:04:53 Now with 16 teams left, the Jaws of Fate are closing in on these squads. I want to take a look at our map when we get a chance, because FURIA right now sat in the spot that they prioritized super early on. We'll have to move soon and take a look at who's in the next zone, who's in the best spot. Exit!
03:05:15 Still placed all the way at the far end of the north pad finger have Godspot. As a team that needs to perform today, they've got to be the focus for this last match.
03:05:28 What a way to go out here too. Furia. A game win away, by the way. From securing an extra point. An extra bonus point, which would go so hard here for a team like Furia, who are ramping up Moist from the skies. Land right on top of Exit. You talk about having to perform. Exit now being contested by Moist, who are fragging out. TSM finally get called out. The soul that was Verholz is out of the lobby.
03:05:55 MT's still got two Kraber shots. If you find a knock on the far end, you can take over X set spot. You can become the best positioned team in the lobby, but there's so much more to do as Furia start to move out. Like you said, one spot away from securing a bonus point, but they're shot from above. There's nowhere to go. They've got no safety, and it's just Watson left. This isn't a 1v1.
03:06:19 There are 11 squads left and Watson is down with just blue shields. The quickness with the pylons. Oh, and they get called out at the very end. No bonus point here for Furia. They get taken out of the lobby.
03:06:36 Es ist ein Team gespielt, unter dem. Look how many squads sind, dass sie zu Exit haben, genau zu Exit zu Exit zu Exit zu Exit zu Exit zu Exit zu Exit zu kommen. Versus Meatlovers und GKS zu Re-Stabilizieren mit Chaotik Munch. Und GKS ist in die gleiche Position als Oxygen. Sie brauchen jeden Punkt heute, um ihre Position zu gewinnen. Es ist die letzte Zeit, die sie spielen.
03:07:00 In the regular season, before Regional Finals, if they put up enough points today, they may not have to worry about how to secure a playoffs position. They could make that so much easier with a good performance in this last game. From up on top, Disguised are the ones with so many options, but so little time to do it. Ten seconds left before this game becomes all about XSET.
03:07:26 Seven squads left. Less than three seconds for the ring to close in. I mean Gladiators closing the gap here. It's a combo for the storm after the scan to get the information. They have to make sure their backs are cleared. They ping right behind them for the teams that are going to have to cross over the water. And they see them shooting at them. The G7 in Chaotic's hand dealing just enough pressure. But they're going to have to start wrapping up and actually closing in this gap.
03:07:52 Die Gladiators sind weg, und GKS nehmen die nächsten Kaltrops, die nächsten Kaltrop, die sie haben. Nicht viel zu ihrem Namen, aber keine Team hat wirklich gut Positionen außerhalb Exet, die in diesem Lobby fahren. Red Shields on Nocturnal.
03:08:12 Und sie werden alle. Oblivion, Oblivion, Oblivion, Oblivion. Niemand kann aufbauen. Oh mein lord, Exet! Sorcerer throws in ein paar good nades. Oblivion geht, aber wieder, still beend von afar. Wir sind in den Top 3. Und Exet wird einfach in und nehmen das. Exet hat keine Kompetition in das letzte Spiel. Exet, ihr seid ihr?
03:08:38 Taking the final match of the day and securing themselves a good spot in the overall leaderboards. From the Kali to the Vision, they saw where that circle was going to pull at the very end, holding the best spot that they could hold. And that was with, what, 10 KP with a huge jump that they needed? They were sitting, I believe it was 16th or so right before that game. And that has absolutely allowed them to skyrocket to top five at the very least.
03:09:06 I can't believe that they got that much plot armor in the final match. And again, you said it, not a great position, around 16th in the overall leaderboard, or rather in the match leaderboards, 17th in the overall leaderboards. They need every point possible in order to push them into that top 11 situation where playoffs gets clinched, because otherwise you are going to be left relying on regional finals, and that's a fate you want to avoid.
03:09:35 Especially if you're playing by the cusp too and you don't want to get booted out of that top 11 spot on top of the 12 teams that would make it from the team that wins regional final. But man, what a final game this was. Zia Exet dropping the Big Ten KP on top of the dub. And Disguise, despite not getting a dub, still puts on double digit KP on the board.
03:10:00 Ich würde nicht messen mit Disguys. Ich denke, sie haben noch ein paar Douders, und es ist verrückt, zu sagen, dass das Spiel, die wie sie performten, bevor und nach dem Veränderung, ist wirklich second zu null, weil sie es in so eine andere Weise machen können. Sie sind so zufrieden, und sie sind so mit kompsen, mit Strategien, dass niemand anderes...
03:10:25 Vielen Dank.
Analyse der Teamleistungen und Ausblick auf die Regional Finals
03:10:54
03:10:54 Sentinels. Oh, Sentinels, I miss you so. But they simply have not found the mojo today. It's so crazy to see not only Sentinels on that bottom end, but we saw them really ramping up in the last time they played on their matchday, but now falling in 20th, not finding that success that we were expecting them when they were hanging out on the cusp. You mentioned it, 21-22 in the overall standings for the region, and TSM still having to figure out the changes for Season 20. This team...
03:11:23 Falling down in 15-tier, not being able to get the places that they needed for that final game, called out while hiding behind that rock. Quite difficult, of course. I do want to credit, while we're talking about teams that did struggle to succeed, GKS, who actually managed to really turn into Turbo Mode during this last game. They may not have been the most dominant team that we saw today, but they, alongside Oxygen, had a lot to lose.
03:11:52 in today's games and gks in match six really did pull up and play great macro to eliminate other teams that were in vulnerable positions and micro in the sense that their 3v3s looked better than they have all split
03:12:06 That and Nine Lights comes to mind, too, when it comes to that. I want to bring back Reinday to help us break down the ending of that sixth game after an insane six-match day series that we've had so far, Reinday. Some of these teams, even TSM, finalizing themselves probably in that 12th place spot after having some lackluster performances in the last few games.
03:12:25 Yeah, I mean, it's been a question mark for a lot of teams today. And I don't know, for some teams like Furia, maybe it answered some questions. And I think it put a period at the end of that, maybe even an exclamation point for teams like TSM. Phony was a little too on the nose with that. Uncomfortable is how they kind of ended up feeling. Things didn't quite go their way. Maybe even raise some more questions about this meta and how things are working. But we also know that this was atypical.
03:12:53 when you saw the way these zones, these final zones were turning in winners. We were seeing more points given throughout the course of the game, just in KP, let alone the placement. So yes, it was a frenetic lobby. And as we go back through these final circles, you remember that on Storm Point, we thought World's Edge was kind of crazy. Storm Point even got...
03:13:13 In Game 4, it was really about movement and taking those moments where you could make something happen and doing the most with them. Teams who were sitting, who were passive, they were not getting the same level of results. I know we're going to hit those final circles in just a second, but even speaking about it, Vicky, just to finalize my answer to your question as we now...
03:13:34 We're going to jump over there. I think that this is specifically in Apex signaling two things for us. It's signaling some teams are just finding rhythm. Some teams are, you know, in that place of desiring, in the need of really needing to win because they know they may not qualify for land. The other element is that I think the uncomfortableness of what is the go-to choice for a meta like this when you're struggling. When so many characters are now on the board, so many things could be the problem. Rotation, communication.
03:14:03 Legend choices, timing of fights. It's a lot to handle, and I think it is just going to take a little bit of extra time. And while we might be seeing some squads, even like here, TSM doing a great job to get into it, they can't quite get it completely done as Moist walked their way through it. So there's a lot of levels to this. I'm sure the fans also watching at home, seeing a team like TSM not perform this way very often. A little shocked, but this is all a part of the growing pains of learning a new season and learning a new different abilities.
03:14:33 Ich glaube, es ist auch, dass wir eine ganze neue Meta wiederholfen haben, mit einer Veränderung, die komplett verändert hat, wie Apex hat, in den letzten Spiel, mit den Perkzistenz zu spielen. 100 neue Perkzistenz und verschiedene Playstyles, mit so vielen anderen Teamen zu experimentieren.
03:14:50 Yeah, and do you trust what's worked in the past or do you experiment in Trailblaze? I think it's a lot easier for a team who hasn't been doing well or a team that has nothing to lose to obviously go ahead and say, well, let's just try this. And it starts working to ride that wave of momentum. But Dia, in Game 5, it would be Furia who would continue to ride that wave in this final circle. And they are, I will say, Randy, doing it off the back of exactly what you mentioned. A team like Nine Lies, who was sitting there in this final zone going, we've got nothing to lose.
03:15:19 FURIA get to walk in, take their spot, turn it into a game win, and with some pretty stylish play. I will admit, there was style involved in this. It wasn't all macro, as much as I love it. You know, you gotta have some style points, no matter who you are. His Watson, you know, there's a few people who have come in and out. We've seen Al leave and announce his retirement just a few weeks ago. His Watson retired, but back, and you feel like watching this play today...
03:15:47 He never left. In fact, Furia looking as good as they had when they were 2nd place in the overall championships the first time they made a LAN and pioneered that Seer meta that kind of got us very, very aggressive here. Game 6, though, Vicky, he just cast it. Walked us through this one because obviously it was GKS and we're looking pretty good so far, but they didn't end up with a win.
03:16:08 Yeah, because it was Exit that had the lead on that positioning from the very beginning, and all the kills came in their direction. No other team was going to cross into open ground and then put themselves in a pinch situation with all the other squads that had to force their way out of the building from inside of this POI, now more so towards the outside. Look at Exit's setup here. Between the caustic barrels, playing off the lip of the bins, they could get into a head glitch. Even the Trident to cover their backs with the squads that had rotated earlier before this final circle.
03:16:38 They just had free range. GKS got some pretty nice nade damage going on, but it was at the very end Exet that just was able to clean up everything else. This is what we're used to seeing from Exet. It had taken a long time, but I just gotta say, Exet, even though they were slow, it doesn't mean that they didn't do enough, because in that fight, they went all the way from 10th to...
03:17:04 Es ist nur 6 Punkte, das die 10-Place-Team entfernt, von der 5-Place-Team entfernt. So mit den 3 Kills und den 3 Placement-Points, das ist unglaublich. Und natürlich ist es auch Furia und Disguise, die die in die Leid starten und endet es.
03:17:27 So huge for XS, and I've been talking about them all day, so I'm going to do it again. I'm sorry, Rain Day, but GKS picking up fourth place. This is massive for them. GKS aren't a team that has another opportunity to play, and so having high placements as we approach the end of their run, they're currently sat in ninth after today. They should jump up a little further, giving them some wiggle room.
03:17:51 ...to ultimately make it into the playoffs. And I will call out GKS again as being one of those teams that made it up from the Pro League qualifiers at the start of the split. Really massive movements coming in, especially from Furia having won the day. 25 points added. And here's where you start to get a little questionable. We were talking about and looking at TSM in the position of fifth, which is great. But they've got six matches played already. Dark Zero, Moist, Complexity.
03:18:20 FURIA, SSG Disguise, haben eine andere Match zu spielen. So, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, dass ich in dieser Position bin. Aber natürlich, in der Regional-Final, wenn man die Teams, die in den Top 20 werden, die in den Top 20 haben, nicht nur die Kontinual-Points, sondern auch, wenn sie gewinnen, eine Spotted-Land-Vicke haben.
03:18:43 Ja, das ist das, was ich an Teams wie Sentinels zu sehen, ein bisschen, wenn sie auf der 21st Platz sind. Und jetzt auf der anderen Seite, auch diese Teams, Optik Gaming, ich weiß, dass alle Augen auf Optik zu performen für das letzte Mal, weil sie wirklich braucht es. Wir wissen, dass die Potenzial an diesem Team ist großartig, aber sie haben nicht wirklich geholfen, wo die Konsistenz ist. Aktien zu starten, die Dinge zu finden, aber ist es ein bisschen zu late, ist wirklich die Geschichte hier. Aber sie sind jetzt in 13th jetzt, bevor wir uns auf der 3rd Seite sehen, dass die Spazen sind,
03:19:13 das sind auf der Kuss, Sentinels zu sein, die ich gerade erwähnt habe, Faze zu sein. Teams wie Evolution, die manchmal aufhören, aber dann, unfortunately, die enden zu verlieren, bis zur Beginn des ersten Splits zu verlieren.
03:19:27 It's a rough spot to be in when you're in the bottom ten, as we're seeing so many right now. I think fortunately, especially when we come to the bottom eight, those that will have to fight things out through the Pro League qualifier in just a little while, a lot of those are not in Group A. So you've still got a chance to make your way out. Of course, teams like Sentinels.
03:19:53 So you're saying there's a chance. All right, we're gonna take it.
03:20:13 We're throwing movie quotes around today, so I had to add mine. But I got to say, this has been a great day, not just for someone who has shown up in the meta whenever he has and changed Apex Legends Esports, but also for someone who has left and come back and had a resurgence, not just in terms of content and popularity, but in true performance, what has made him such an electrifying star in our league. And of course, our MVP for today, who I'm talking about, is none other than his.
03:20:41 Watssinn, showed up in my opinion in one of the more interesting ways. A pro and a constant creator streaming ranked and grinding for the number one spot. Got into it with HAL and the banter quickly grew into a team that when they went to LAN, kept that same playstyle of being aggressive, running at.
03:20:57 Und jetzt, was er sieht, ist, dass ein Talentedertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertertert.
03:21:15 und jetzt mit einem Bruder, Kion. Und jetzt haben wir die richtigen Beispiele, mit ihm. Wottson hat die Leidenschaft und die Inspiration für seine Team und die Trust, mehr importantly, von seinem Team. Und ich denke, das ist ein Squad, jetzt nicht nur haben sie die Möglichkeit, aber sie können besser spielen, und sie sind mehr consistent. Das ist warum, in meiner Meinung nach, FURIA und Wottson...
03:21:42 Das ist unser MVP für heute. Und wenn du jetzt die damage erinnert, 13 kills, 14 assists, 5k damage, 1h48 survival. Ich bin einfach nicht. Ich kann nicht glauben, es war ein 1h47, 1h48, das ist verrückt. Aber all jokes aside, ich liebe, was wir haben ihn gemacht. Und ich denke, die Geschichte ist immer interessant mit Wonsen. Und es führt uns zu...
03:22:06 und besser und besser conversations über was es wirklich bedeutet, dass es in den ALGS wirklich bedeutet. Sometimes, Dinge passieren in a flash, und sie fangen, sie fangen, sie fangen, sie fangen. Und das ist etwas, was mit dem Team passiert. Und so, Vickie, ich denke, es ist sicherlich ein vieles Magnetismus zu sehen, dass ein Spieler wie his Watson und was FURIA und ihn representatet und haben, seitdem sie in den ALGS gewesen sind.
03:22:30 Especially being a positive player in the competitive Apex community, you know, humble beginnings was the first thing that I was met with when I had met his Watson at LAN and knowing his background and how he's been able to take a break from competitive Apex, then come right back in and frag out like he's never taken a break. It really highlights the skill that his Watson proceeds to carry over and guiding his team to victory too, because you mentioned Keon and having Keon alongside him. They bounce off of each other amazingly, Rain Day.
03:22:59 Well, it's amazing that you mentioned that, Vicky, because we now have a chance to bounce back and forth with some words with Keon, who's joining us on broadcast. Keon from Furia saying hello, man. Welcome to the stream. Good to have you. Thank you. Thank you. It's great to be here. Hey, dude. So, you know, all pretenses aside, congratulations. You guys played great today. We were kind of getting the sense that it was a little bit of...
03:23:27 A chaotic lobby, in a way where a lot of kills were going on, a lot of mid to that early late game fighting that was determining whether people were leaving with 8, 12 KP, and then kind of, you know, where they place is where they place. But they already got basically 15 points in. You guys dropped a 31 bomb today. What did you feel playing in this lobby? Was it different? Was it something you felt really comfortable in? Just talk us through how it felt playing in today's matches.
03:23:54 Ja, ich meine, ich bin aus der Woche, es war ein bisschen rough. Bei der Update, wir hatten ein Identity Crisis. Nach dem Update, wir waren wirklich Farming Scrims. Es gibt viele 19, 15, 17-Kill-Games, Dubs und Scrims, dass wir kind of used to sind. Aber wenn ALJS kamen, wir hatten ein Identity Crisis. Wir hatten nicht wirklich den Spielplan.
03:24:21 I felt like the lobby last week just felt really weird for us because we didn't do what we practiced for. And then this whole week, we really hammered down on making sure that we stick to our game plan. We even swapped up the roles, took a lot of the load off of Madness. Madness was our hard IGL the first half, and he didn't really transition super well into this new meta. But the lobby tonight, it's just kind of the meta.
03:24:50 Teams will get eight kills die in 10th place and call it a good day, you know, with 10 points. And then the people that win, it's like, it's usually just like a big game. Like most of the time, you're not seeing as many of the, like last year, you'd see a lot more of like the Crypto Watson teams winning with like four kills. That's not the case as much anymore. A lot of teams are just nuking out because they've adjusted to the meta, like faster than everybody else.
03:25:18 Well, today was DLFURIO for real. I mean, you finished off the day with 14 KP2 by yourself. His Watson coming in right after you with 13 kills. So you guys had a pretty heavy kill game and you guys stuck to your gameplay of where you guys exceed the most, which is finding those kills. I like how you talked about ironing out the things that you had to figure out too and finding your identity in a meta right now where other teams I feel like are still struggling. I mean, we're seeing the top end teams not having that consistency. And I'm happy that you highlighted that because you guys are also the...
03:25:47 The only team in the lobby running a Watson against an entire lobby, 19 teams playing Caustic. I mean, talk to us a little bit about the difference in different regions and how certain legends are more prevalent than others, like the fact that we don't see Crypto or Watson versus a very heavily Caustic meta right now.
03:26:07 In other regions, I feel like more people are willing to take risks and find the thing that works for them. That's one thing that me and Watson do really well. We don't really care what the other 19 teams play. We're going to play what we think will work. That was a huge thing that we were talking about this whole last week. Madness was pretty stuck on we got to play Bang, Caustic, and Bloodhounds. Watson was like...
03:26:36 Wenn jeder spielt Caustic, Caustic ist weniger wertvoll. Weil er nur 2-3rds von jedem. Ich fühle mich, wie Complexity, sie spielen Watson auf Stormpoint und sie sind sehr gut. Und ich denke, NA einfach nicht hat die...
03:27:03 ...the courage to take more risks, as other regions do at the moment. And that's really the only reason that you only see one Watson and 19 Caustics.
03:27:15 You know, you've mentioned taking risks, but also the fact that there's a different read within the team, how you've helped Madness and the team sort of overcome what was an overloading on Madness. And the team dynamic is something that a lot of people will admire about Furia. How do you manage having difficult conversations or when you and Watson or you and Madness feel that something...
03:27:42 ist nicht genau richtig, richtig? Wie geht es um die Gespräche, um was du zu ändern, um die Freundschaft ist so clear in deinem squad?
03:27:52 Ja, um, I mean, the way we maintain it is, like, we have an amazing coach as well, uh, PVPX, who recently rebranded to JMO, um, he does a great job at, like, kind of, like, calling us out if we're being, like, grumpy poopoo heads, uh, you know, just not in a good mood, he'll be like, hey dudes, like, it's not that serious, like, we're here to get better, like, stop being so negative, and, uh, like, if you, if, if any of, like, the
03:28:21 Viewers and stuff are watching any of the streams this week. It was a rough week. The last two weeks for Furia has been really bad. Our vibes were not great, but for the last four days or so, in between either sets on our double block day or after scrims or before scrims, PvP sets us up with a perfect game plan. And sometimes it's sometimes me and Watson butt heads, but that's just what brothers do, right? It's brotherly love.
03:28:47 We struggled a lot the last weekend with trust and not trusting everybody's calls because it's a team game at the end of the day. I think it clicked yesterday for us last night in scrims. We had a whole open
03:29:16 Just a team bonding heart-to-heart. Obviously, it helped a lot because we went from taking bottom five in scrims to winning an ALGS day.
03:29:27 Listen, I'm not going to say this is a bad thing, but if you want to be in charge of media training for all of the pros when we get to land, because I think you answered those questions more in depth than we could have ever hoped for. You answered better than me. You might need to be up here, Keon man, but congrats on all the play. Jokes aside, congrats on all the play today. You guys killed it, and it was a close one between you and Disguise, but you put out the W, and good luck for the rest of the season, obviously regional finals, and hopefully land.
03:29:56 Yeah, thank you guys so much. I'll see you guys later, I guess. Yeah, yeah. All right, Kion with us there. Great talking to him. And, you know, Dia, I think he said something that's a tale as old as time. It's a tried and true statement about the world. You got to stop being grumpy poopoo heads sometimes. You basically just can't let that happen. True, true, true. I literally couldn't have put it better myself.
03:30:23 You know, Vicky, listen, closing out the day, what a great, great day. I think we see the game continuing to evolve in Season 20, and it seems like with players and teams, they're going through the same struggles everyone is of trying to learn and get to the form that they feel confident in, especially as we head towards more and more pressure, more and more money, more and more stakes here in the LGS.
03:30:46 And I love how you highlighted the disparity between the different regions too, because that's what we're theorycrafting, right? When it comes to who feels more comfortable and what composition are we going to be seeing teams swap back over to their prime comps that worked out for them. But here in NA, at the end of the day, top 20 teams qualify to play in the regional finals and the top 11 teams and the winner of the regional finals will eventually advance to the split one playoffs. So time is ticking down for a lot of these teams to figure out where they want to stand in the overall standings here in the region.
03:31:15 Well, Dia, as well, you got to see the action. Teams, you had focused on Exet. They made a move. And at this point, that's kind of all you can hope for. It was good. And they stuck with it till the very end. Yeah, and a lot of this meta is, I think, about trusting yourself. Kion brought it up as well. So I am glad that a team has experienced Exet with as many hopes on them as Exet. A lot of fans out there.
03:31:43 Managed to do just that. And I walk away very happy with a lot of teams today. I think we got some really amazing Apex Legends. Well, one thing we definitely got was some really amazing casting. You two, great job today. Always a pleasure working with you and cannot wait till we do it again. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you. Thank you, Kitty, and Dia there. And, you know, that means when I say goodbye to them, it means it's time to start saying goodbye to you. But let me give you...
03:32:09 a reminder if your phone or a calendar or a notification is going to do it for you apex is serving the daylight savings reminder right now that's a big one i'm actually literally being reminded of that as i tell you so we're all in the same place spring forward means i think we uh we lose an hour unfortunately so we jump ahead and that means that whatever you got to do to be here at 10 a.m
03:32:34 Do it, especially if you're on the West Coast. 5 p.m. GMT, 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Match Day 9. Ladies and gentlemen, setting up our Regional Finals. And who will kick it off? Well, it's the new Orglists in Hungary. No longer Orglists. They're not a Sven Seer. And this is obviously a great time to get represented.
03:32:54 Big things like Land around the corner in the regional final. Tyler, Matafe, and Kinda want to keep up that rhythm. But the man we talked to earlier today as well, Hakis, will now be in competition. Trying to change the dynamic that happened with Yuki and keep it going. Because him, Affect and Unlucky, have been on a nice rhythm. I think sitting in fifth right now. And they climb even higher. And a team.
03:33:18 That just is so fun to watch. That Sentinel in the hands of Monsoon. Now in the hands of many more people. Kind of impacting the meta-complexity. What else will they do? All of that coming in tomorrow. And that means North America. Means teams who are sitting back and watching today. Like Phony and SSG. They're going to have their chance to move up into the rankings as well. Already in the top 10. And they've got an extra day to play. This team, Zainu, he called him.
03:33:45 The best in North America. Can he prove it? Can Space Station take a win there?
