ALGS Pro League Split 1: Rückblick auf die ersten Matchdays

00:01:27

00:01:27 Welcome back to the ALGS Rundown. We just finished the first round robin in ALGS Pro League Split 1, and it's time to get you up to speed with how the league looks after the first three match days.

00:01:41 Matchday 1 in North America, Dark Zero took first in Signature Style, and observed 54 kill day, along with a win and two top threes left everyone else fighting in their shadow. IGL Zero wasn't content to leave the kills to his controller teammates, so he got 21 eliminations himself. TSM followed up with a score that would have net them the win on any other day, after stringing two wins together and getting 35 eliminations over the six games played.

00:02:10 E8 got 3rd overall after a very consistent day, finishing in the top 5 in over half of the games played throughout the series. PLP, led by Phony, stamped their name at the top of the Day 3 leaderboard, a huge result for them with 2 wins and a 3rd place, which was enough to secure them 7th in the overall leaderboards.

00:02:31 2nd place Complexity showed they're more than capable of hanging in these lobbies, by placing top 10 in 5 of the 6 games played, including a win. Dark Zero produced another solid day, with a 3rd place finish just ahead of Furia, whose 17 kill game was enough for them to take 4th. Let's take a look at the overall leaderboard for North America as we finish the first round robin. No surprises in the top 3, Dark Zero, Luminosity and TSM.

00:03:00 Of the three, TSM are the only team still searching for their first matchday win. Luminosity gave us a statement performance, so maybe now the doubters will put some respect on their name.

00:03:14 Fan favorites Boogie Boarders jumped out to an early lead in APAC South after a nuclear Match Day 1 performance. Fussy racked up an outrageous 25 kills over the six games as the Boarders picked up two wins. Lightning Unicorn had a solid day and finished second, but couldn't find the eliminations to challenge the top spot.

00:03:35 From a washout to a nail biter, Matchday 2 saw Serenity clinch the win, with just 5 points separating them from 3rd place team Iron Blood Gaming and a massive drop off to the 4th place finisher. The top 3 teams traded Haymakers all day, Wanton Dumpling even dropping a huge 23 kill dub. But Serenity had that extra consistency, finishing in the top 3 out of 6 games, enough to propel them into 1st place.

00:04:04 After a high-scoring Day 2, Match Day 3 was a bloodbath, with just about everyone getting their time at the top. In the end, just 54 points was enough to secure the win for MDY White, with LD putting up 12 eliminations to push them over the line. After the dust has settled, there's a two-way tie at the top of the standings with Boogie Boarders and Wanton Dumpling both netting themselves 37 points.

00:04:30 with Lightning Unicorn and M. D. Y. White in Hot Pursuit. Great news for Burger Enjoyers. Team Burger returns to APAC South. Weigh and Pricey picked up former Dark Zero Champions Sharky and they had a good comeback week, finishing in eighth overall.

00:04:48 On Jan. 19, Reject announced their return to Pro League, and they wasted no time getting to work. They annihilated Match Day 1 with 48 kills, averaging 8 kills per game, even managing to squeeze 5 kills out of an 18-place finish. Riddle proved their consistency on Day 1 with three 2nd-place finishes, and Crazy Raccoon's new roster fought their way to 3rd. Day 2 was Fnatic's Day.

00:05:16 Not to be outdone by Reject, Fnatic's new roster cemented themselves as a big contender for the crown. 39 kills, a win, and two second places, no warmup time needed for that roster. Riddle's own playstyle guided by Saku earned them another second place finish, despite having a couple zero-point games late in the day. Consistency is key in Pro League, and these guys have got it in spades. Day 3 was taken by Kinetrope Gaming.

00:05:45 After a cold day one, KN dropped 88 points on the matchday with a huge 17 kill win. This catapulted themselves up the leaderboard. Mia Kay and Arufa putting up 17 and 18 kills respectively. Look, this is a team to watch going forward. Fnatic finished the round Robin Strong with a second placed finish, killing their way up the leaderboard, despite only getting 21 placement points.

00:06:11 Looking at the standings after the first round Robins finished in APAC North, we have Fnatic in first, Riddle in second, and Reject Winity in third. Fnatic meet expectations and they look poised to dominate the region. Riddle has put together two very strong showings and Reject's Nuclear Day 1 covered for a bit of a slide on their second matchday. In a global conversation about Controller vs M&K,

00:06:39 Only two out of the top nine placing players in APAC North are on the sticks. Is it a coincidence that those players just happen to be on the same team who are also first place this week?

00:06:54 Matchday 1 sees Kay Swinney lead the revamped E6 to a 1st place finish with 36 killpoints, a win and a 3rd place. The Italian Org Outplayed also had a really solid day but couldn't match E6 killpower and finished 2 points behind the leaders despite winning 2 games. Some eyebrows raised as Alliance didn't really get the ball rolling early and they finished 13th.

00:07:21 Aurora turned up in winning form on Day 2, with Hardeki's return to Pro League being a huge splash, dropping 15 kills, tying for Kill Leader with his Fragger Oirein, as Aurora clears 2nd place by 22 points. Back-to-back wins in Rounds 2 and 3 pushed them to the top of the leaderboards, despite some medium games later in the day. Natsuki's Team 07 improved on their Day 1 finish of 4th,

00:07:50 mit 3rd place in Day 2, picking up where Aurora left off, winning 2 back-to-back in Rounds 5 and 6 to finish the day strong. At the start of the season, there were concerns about how Natsky would handle being without his longtime duo Serdell. Looks like he's putting those concerns to rest with a flying start to the first split. Day 3 in Max Strafi's team, well, Max Strafi's team if you're Natsky.

00:08:17 U-Aim got a blinder of a day with two back-to-back finishes. They struggled to maintain their pace off the line, but their early kills and placement proved enough to keep them in first place at the end of the day. Aurora put together two more wins and got a second place finish in the last game of the day. Despite a fairly low kill score on day three, their solid performance got them second.

00:08:44 At the end of the round robin Aurora has a comfortable space at the top with Uaim barely hanging on to second by a point. There's a tie at the number three spot with 07 and OAH both on 34 points. EMEA is shaping up to be a close spot region with a lot of teams having the ability to jump up the leaderboard with just a good performance in the weeks to come.

00:09:08 Alliance make up for the rough first two days with a nine kill win in the final game of day three, pushing them up to 12th in the standings. And we've got some roster shifts as Keshera's team Vamo Quiera parts ways with their South American import Kings and pick up Cash's old duo post kill. Will the change be enough to propel them up from their current spot in 16th? Only time will tell.

00:09:33 Pro League is back this weekend as we kick off the second round robin with APAC South back in action on February 3rd. Make sure you join us for all the action on broadcast and follow us on socials for all the news and updates as they happen.

Ankündigungen und Teamneuigkeiten zum Start von ALGS Year 4 Day 4

00:10:04

00:10:04 Welcome back to Year 4 of ALGS Split 1, Day 4, and Happy 5th Anniversary to Apex Legends. I am so excited today because last week we saw the end of the first round of Rob and Ron. So we're going back around and we're going to see Teams A and B go back at it again. And today I am joined by Sir Onset. Hello.

00:10:25 I don't think I'd officially be knighted, but it's great to do it on broadcast in front of everyone else. So thank you very much for that. Great to be here. Of course, North America is where we turn our focus of attention now. Amir was great a little bit earlier, but like I mentioned, we're a third of the way through the season now, which is crazy to say out loud. It means that points are at a premium and there's no more room for mistakes. Yeah, if I had the Wraith Heirloom out right now, I'm packing for a move. I totally would have knighted you with that, but you know, that's fine. And of course, joining us is the wonderful Gaskin. Hello.

00:10:54 Hello, I thought you would knight people with the Octane Heirloom, because I've heard your preference, and you have made it clear to me, but it's okay. We know the Wraith Heirloom's better. I'm glad you agree. Very excited for North America, and, you know, I can't wait to see what these teams are going to do. It's quite tight at the top between some of the biggest and best teams, but I'm sure they're ready to put on a show. You are so lucky that you live a few states away, all right? Like, you're lucky that you're quite a few distance away from me, because we would fight. Anyways, so Octane's Heirloom is...

00:11:23 The best, but anyways, I'm very excited for NA today. We obviously have a lot of teams playing that we have already seen and I know that the chat is extremely excited for, but we do have to talk about some team announcement news that did drop. So we're going to be talking about that and obviously leading into match day number four. Now, first up, we do have Space Station Gaming saying they couldn't keep us away forever and onset. I mean, look at the new roster and...

00:11:50 I'm really excited. Hey, look. Everybody knows I love Spacestation, right? One of the best orgs out there.

00:11:56 Das ist die Statement von Spacestation Gaming selbst auf diesem Roster. Ich denke, es wird ein viel Spaß. Wir wissen, dass es ein PflP ist, und es ist ein Teil von Spacestation Gaming.

00:12:26 Ah, yes. What a great copypasta. I'm so excited for that. Alright, next up we do have Game & Gladiators, and they will be joining the Apex Games for this week's matches. They will still be known as Flat, just as a clarification, but starting with next week's matches, Game & Gladiators will be official.

00:12:42 So, Gaskin, wie fühlst du über diese Announcement? Ja, ich bin sehr froh, dass Game Gladiators wieder in der Szene sind. Ich meine, sie hatten eine Team in EMEA für ein paar Mal, eine Nordamerikanische Team. Ich denke, das ist fantastisch, dass irgendeine Organisation branchiert in verschiedene Regionen. Und ich denke, diese Leute werden es gut sein. Sie sagen, sie sehen uns in der Kolosseum. Also, wir sehen uns da.

00:13:03 Yeah, I love that statement so much. That's so cool. And yes, here is the PLP roster becoming SSG. So very excited for that. And we all know Onset is a huge fan of SSG. So congratulations to him for, you know, all the success with SSG because it was all his doing, right? Obviously. It was not. Just to clear that up.

00:13:25 Ja, all right, well, let's take a look at the overall standings. Now, we did see two series already with these teams, so we get to look at the overall standings here. And of course, Zerk Zero is at first with 43 points, but LG is not far off in second place with 41, Gaskin.

00:13:42 Yeah, and this is where the bonus points that were added to the format could come into effect, right? Because if you are winning groups, then you are going to be very close to people. Dark Zero, they were able to get victory. LG were able to get a victory. TSM, not far behind as well. If you can have a very dominant matchweek where you do find bonus points, then it is really going to elevate you through. And now I see that Elevate's sixth, and I feel silly for saying Elevate, but there's so many top-tier rosters here in North America.

00:14:10 This is how it looks right now, but I guarantee it's gonna look very different when we come around once more.

00:14:16 Ja, und dann natürlich auf der zweiten Seite, wir sehen uns Oblivion und Optik Gaming und Meatlovers sind alle hier in der 11en bis 20en Platz. Wir tun, und ich denke, wir müssen immer über die Bühne und die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne über die Bühne

00:14:46 Yeah, I mean, these are teams that are obviously very good at what they do, especially with Skirt and Native Gaming. It is a little interesting to see them be on the 21-30 path here as well.

00:15:14 Ja, und es ist nicht der Ende der Welt, wenn man sich in den Bottom 10 nach ein paar Matchdayen findet, aber das ist die Zeit, wir haben es in EMEA, wo du wirklich knuckle-down hast. Wenn du in eine Contest bist, ist es wert, wenn du in die Contest bist? Wenn du in die Contest bist? Wenn du in die Contest bist? Wenn du in die Contest bist, sollte du in die Contest bist?

00:15:41 All these questions really kind of have to start being answered now, otherwise you will start to fall behind. Yeah, and speaking of all these questions being answered now, we're going to get our questions answered about these teams, Group A and B, showing up today. I am really excited to see Dark Zero and TSM, or not, yeah, TSM go up against each other again, because day one we did see it was kind of their game, but...

00:16:04 Obviamente LG ist hier, Flatt ist hier, wir werden viel action hier sehen, Onset. Wir sind sicher, und ich denke, die Geschichte von Dark Zero und TSM ist eine wir alle gehört haben, aber die Geschichte weitergeht. Es ist eine große Herausforderung zwischen den beiden. LG ist sicher, und ich glaube, das letzte Woche war absolut großartig. LG ist wirklich starten zu finden form, ein bisschen schneller als ich ein paar Leute erwarten. Und ihre performances haben wirklich gut, und ich freue mich zu sehen, wie sie heute sind. Ja, ich war eine solche Leute, ich...

00:16:31 I honestly thought LG was going to be a little bit slower in finding their footing, but they actually found the rhythm as a team. And you know what? While we're here, let's just go ahead and talk about the teams that are doing better than expected, which is obviously Luminosity. We do have to talk about that because I really thought that after game day number one, they were going to take things slower, but they...

00:16:49 really stunned us with their performance day two. And it's not that day one was bad by any means. It was not. So LG is made up by Funk, Sweet, and Slayer. And they're second place overall standings, right? And you can see that they're pretty even in Stormpoint and World's Edge with their rate of success. So they're feeling pretty confident. We see just how aggressive they can be. But they're also incredibly smart about which fights they do decide to take. Because again, like we keep saying, Apex is all about capitalizing.

00:17:18 und sie wollen keine Fehler machen.

00:17:24 Going into that, let's talk about complexity on set. Yeah, Kimchi, Monsoon and Lu, what a game day they had in their second one. 21 points they managed to put up. It was only 8 points in the first week, but Monsoon started picking up a Sentinel and certainly teaching some people some severe lessons with that weapon in that second game day. And I'm interested to see how they get on today. I did see that Kimchi may be hoping some internet comes back because there was a storm in the area or something, but hopefully they can play as that full roster. World's Edge has been their success, more successful, excuse me, map in comparison to Storm.

00:17:54 Aber es gibt noch ein paar Punkte, aber es gibt noch ein paar Punkte.

00:18:20 Yeah, and we just got word from producers that Complexity will be taking in Reptar as a sub for Match 1 until King Chi gets his internet sorted out, which we're actually in kind of the same area. So the storm is hitting us pretty hard, but you know what? It almost feels like we're in Stormplane, right? It's great. It's setting the theme. So very excited about that. I know that was bad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So we talked about teams that are...

Team-Analysen und Strategieanpassungen vor Match Day 4

00:18:45

00:18:45 performing way better than we expected. So let's go ahead and talk about teams performing at where exactly we thought, which is not a bad thing at all. It just means that we know what to expect. So before we go into that, let's go ahead and listen to Stunny talk about his team and their new strategies. Yo, what's going on, guys? My name is Stunny. I'm a pro player for Drop-In Gaming. Our current roster consists of Karma, also known as Jeon, Crook, Assault, and our Coach Caprine.

00:19:09 So about a year ago, I was with a different roster with Drop-In Gaming. I wasn't the happiest with that roster, so I ended up letting go of two of those players, and Crook and Oreos ended up coming up. Picked both of them up, and eventually Sentinels took Oreos from us, so we emergency replaced him with Karma. No, we actually won't be changing anything this time around, but we're luckily not double contested on both maps, so that's very nice. So we will be doing a lot better now that we can actually play the game.

00:19:38 Ja, so we noticed that we weren't leaving from our POI as quickly as we'd like to. So this weekend we will definitely be changing that. We'll be landing, looting, and rotating a lot faster than we have been recently.

00:19:51 Ja, ich meine, Gaskett nicht zu beantworten auf den Eiermappen ist eine große Böne zu ihnen. Oh ja, absolut. Ich denke, jeder Team an dieser Stelle ist einfach nicht zu beantworten, denn wir haben gesehen, wie viel es kann das Team verantworten und das Team verantworten. So, sie werden versuchen, ein bisschen schneller zu lösen, ein bisschen schneller, ein bisschen schneller zu lösen. Sie hatten Erfolg in Matchday No. 2, so wir sehen, ob das weitergeht bis zum nächsten Mal.

00:20:12 Absolutely. And as promised, we are going to be talking about those teams that are performing exactly where we expected. So I have to start by talking about TSM. And I know, oh, Stella, you talked about TSM last week. And I will continue to talk about TSM because they are a team that are in this for the long haul. So TSM with Verhulst, Imperial Hell and Reps, they are an incredible team.

00:20:34 Day one was really a TSM and Dark Zero battle, and TSM did win two matches, but they did end up coming into second place with 16 points under Dark Zero. So this is their chance to take first place back from Dark Zero and kind of hand it back to them. And I do remember TSM getting the short end of the stick last match that we saw them play, but overall TSM has been very consistent, and I fully expect them to bounce back today. On set? Yeah, I picked Elevate Gaming as business as usual, and it might seem like a, why aren't you talking about Luminosity, you know, LG?

00:21:03 Und ich bin wirklich sehr froh.

00:21:28 Ich denke, Elevator ist sehr stark.

00:21:42 Ich glaube, dass ihr ELEVATE wählt, weil es die gleichen Prozent wie Dark-Zero ist, aber Dark-Zero ist mit viel mehr Punkte. Zero, Sykes und Jemburton sind. Ich habe mich gefragt, wie Sykes wird auf dieser Röster sein. Würde er sein? Würde er mit den Pressen? Absolut. Ich höre so gut zu den Instruktionen, die von IGL kommen. Er wird immer wieder in den Kampf oder in den Kampf sein. Und ich liebe die Edition von Sykes, und ich glaube, dass das Dark-Zero Röster ist, dass es einfach weitergeht. Und sie sind Nummer 1.

00:22:11 I know, and they're good for it. I am so excited to see the performances that all these teams give us today. And I do want to talk about other teams that we might want to kind of

00:22:23 Und wir wollen sie verbessern, weil wir natürlich weitergehen. Wir wollen sie jetzt weitergehen. So, ich möchte über DNO Gaming, Dudes Night Out. Sie haben ein solider Roster mit zwei Ex-Sentinel-Player, aber sie sind wirklich struggling zu grasp auf points in Survivalu Past 10th placed in den meisten Matches. So, Sie sehen, auf Stormpoint, sie sind ein bisschen stärker, mit 67% der Points kommen von dort. Aber 33% auf World's Edge, Sie wollen sie stark auf dieses Map. Das ist ein Klassiker zu Apex Esports. Sie haben die erste Spiel auf Day 2, aber...

00:22:52 Day 1, they only got 13 points. So it's possible they're warming up and the jumping points is a sign they're probably more prepared the second run. But it's really hard to say when the two performances we've seen have been a little bit lacking. But let's talk about Oxygen Esports. Let's talk about Oxygen Esports because the best has to come for them because they have been lackluster by their own standards and they've made a change and it's not in the lineup. It's in the POI they're going to be dropping at. They were dropping over at Command Center. They have swapped. It's a house swap. It's a POI swap with the team who are at their old

00:23:22 So Oxygen Esports will be back to Barometer.

00:23:34 Und dann OpTic Gaming haben auch mehr Erfolg auf Stormpoint, sogar mit DownBeast nicht mehr finden, wie es Onset gesagt hat. Aber ich habe auch noch mehr von OpTic erwartet. Ich denke, sie sind auch ein totales Team, ein totales Team, ein totales Team, besonders mit SkittleCakes, die ich immer sagen, ist einer der gefährlichsten Spieler zu gehen.

00:23:54 I want to see more from Optic. I know what they're capable of. We saw what they did at LAN. We saw what they did in the World Championships. And I think they just need to try and find that form again. But it's just finding their footing in this meta, I think. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Apex is an ever-changing game. So it's always good to stay on top of knowing exactly what your team needs to keep up with the changing environment. So with that, I'm going to let y'all take over the cast for match number one. I am so excited to see these teams go up against each other.

00:24:22 Thank you very much Stella, I'm destroying stuff on my desk as we go into game number one because I've got the jitters, Dan, because I'm a little bit nervous, I'm a little bit excited, you know how it is, but game one is just around the corner, everyone, and...

Erwartungen und Strategien für Match 1 auf Stormpoint

00:24:32

00:24:32 Coming into today, I think a lot of expectation and eyes understandably from the community is going to be on that top three, right? You've got LG, you've got TSM, you've got Dark Zero all in this lobby and it is extremely tight at the top. And I think it's an opportunity for one of those teams to step forward and say, hey, we are the front runners today. We all have an opportunity here to really establish ourselves as that number one.

00:24:52 Ja, es ist Halsweet und Zero wieder. Aber in der gleichen Zeit, du hast du mit dem, und du hast die Dirty Arbeit gemacht. Wir können immer die IGLs praise. Es ist eine massive Team-Game, und es wird ein Massive-Contribution von jemandem zu sein, ob es die Dämpfe, ob es die Dämpfe, ob es die Positionierung für Support ist, ob es nur ein Legend, das kann ein bisschen geben, in der Early-Game oder Late-Game geben geben. So viele verschiedene Strategien, die sich umgekehrt zu verwendet werden. Und ich bin wondering, nach dem 4th Matchday,

00:25:22 ... ... ...

00:25:37 I think we might see a little bit more Watson today now that there's been a little bit of an adjustment to that interception pylon, of course, with it not healing through walls and, you know, the enemy team who are on the outside of your building aren't going to be sitting there going, hey, this is like a warm campfire to sit around. This is recharging our shields and giving us a little bit of extra. So we might see a little bit more Watson as we head towards our map schedule. This is how things are going to work today, starting off with three games on Stormpoint before we head over to World's Edge.

00:26:02 Und du sprachst, du sprachst, du sprachst, du sprachst, und ich war einfach so, wo die Kontesten sind, ob wir tatsächlich einen sehen, ob wir einen gehen. Und ich schaue nach Stormpoint, und wir könnten okay sein. Ich meine, es gibt ein paar Teams, die ein paar Kontesten können, aber ich denke, es sieht...

00:26:20 Ich glaube, es ist ziemlich klar, von dem ich gesehen habe, aber wir werden sehen, wenn wir in den nächsten Mal sehen. Ich meine, es gab einen an den Wallen, wie Sie sehen, von dem in die Grafik in fronte von Ihnen. Wenn das wieder passiert ist, wird mir die größte Frage für mich, weil es vielleicht eine Chance gibt, wo man sich ausführen kann, aber ich bin sehr stolz von A und B für alle finden, dass sie eine Home finden und nicht zu viele Contests gehen. In Before Dark Zero, Drop Lightning Rod. Anyway, wir sehen, dass das passiert und wir sehen, dass sie ein Carnage gehen können. Aber alle finden ein bisschen eine Home, so zu sprechen, und eine Note auch.

00:26:49 Wie gesagt, Oxygen Esports geht zurück zu Barometer. Und wenn man einen Barometer hat, dann wird er sehr glücklich sein. Aber ich denke, dass man einen Blick auf die Wall ist, wie du gesagt hast. Und ich denke, ich denke, ein Punkt an der Komplexität ist, ich fühle mich ein bisschen, in ein paar Worte, dass Kim Chi hat die Internet-Internet-Issue. Und er wird vielleicht wieder zurück. Aber was ein Pick-Up. Reptar kommt in, als der Substitute Player. Das ist da, wenn man einen Sub mit einer Real-Pedigree hat.

00:27:15 Oh, we do have substitutes with absolute firepower and history in Apex Legends, and Reptar certainly is one of them, and I'm very excited to see him alongside Monsoon once again, but...

00:27:26 Es wird noch mehr Druck geben, das ist sicher. Right, Storm Points. Ich hoffe, dass viele Horizonten zu sehen. Wir wissen, wie influential Conduit hat, auch. Wenn du nicht in den Kontest hast, in diesen Mid-Game-Fights, Early-Game-Fights, Late-Game-Fights, es geht nicht. Conduit ist die eine. Sie ist sie. Und sie wird sicherlich helfen in verschiedenen verschiedenen Situationen. Und natürlich, dass du eine Support-Legend bist, kannst du die Banner ein bisschen später machen. Aber wir sind aus der Dropship. Wir sind in der Match Nummer 1 hier in Nordamerika.

00:27:55 Und wir werden sehen, ob wir vielleicht noch einen Contest werden können.

00:28:21 Ja, das ist was ich vorhin erwähnt. Teams starten zu spielen mehr aggressiv, als sie zu fallen, vielleicht ein bisschen behinder, in den overalls leaderboards. Aber das ist dann so. Und Skirt ist dann zu zwei.

00:28:32 Ja, Faze wird auch noch nicht gewonnen. Snipe Down mit der Peacekeeper. Ich denke, es gibt noch mehr Spieler. Und Snipe Down hat alle drei.

00:29:02 He's taken down and FaZe will win that contest. But look at LG. They were already on their rotate, potentially, it looks like. No, they're actually just taking their time. But let's have a look at where the circle's going, Dan. Talk us through it.

00:29:12 Ja, weiter nach dem Southeastern. Great für Devastated Coast Droppers. SSG, Lovers, Jacked Boys. Whatever you were calling them earlier. Launchpad. You said they were jacked. I didn't say any of that. Launchpad is going to be a good spot for them. And they'll be able to just reside there for quite some time. Loot up comfortably. They have Ring Console as well down at Devastated Coast. So this is a fantastic kind of drop for them to work with. You did see a little bit of a look from Eternal Way.

00:29:42 They considered maybe, could we start to get involved in the third party over at the wall? I think that FaZe will have to be aware of that, aware that Eternal could join it. I remember that happened in A&B last time around. Eternal started to get involved in that fight a little bit more as teams now are starting to begin their rotation. Complexity are starting to make their way down to southeast. Yeah, Complexity having a lead with Reptar in his underwear in that white armor, but a couple of Blues to play with. They're obviously looking for an early spot here and should be able to take it.

Frühe Gefechte und strategische Positionierung in Match 1

00:30:10

00:30:10 Das building ist ein sehr guter Ort, wenn sie es für die Long-Game ist. Obviamente, die Wall in front of sie ist eine neue Erdition zu Stormpoint, natürlich für dieses Jahr, und es gibt ein bisschen mehr Access, ich würde sagen, zu den Teams in den Städten. Und SSG, die auf der Launchpad haben, haben sich das ihre Home gemacht. Aber, speaking of Homes...

00:30:28 Es gibt einige Komponenten hier für Komplexity zu tun, und es ist bereits ein Team in dieser Gebäude. Ja, das ist jetzt hier, weil das ist die Zeit, weil das Spiel ist, dass jeder versucht, die prime Real Estate zu kaufen. So Komplexity hat sich gefunden, die sie wollen, die sie gut finden können, das sie gut finden können, aber es gibt andere Teams, die genau das gleiche tun. Und jetzt ist es jetzt, Survive, Survive, Survive! Use diese Ressourcen zu machen, und dann bereit zu kämpfen, denn Sie sind unter Siege.

00:30:53 Things are looking a little bit sketchy here. Meds are going to be burnt through. And just remember, the complexity left very, very quickly. So you would imagine on their rotate, they haven't had a time to do a huge amount of looting, which means that Meds are probably going to be at a premium. But it's the first opportunity for Reptar to show what he's made of. And we're going to see him use that ultimate to really give them a bit of time here. Force the team away across from them and see if they can just take their time to pick off one target at a time. But for now, it's dropping gaming versus complexity. And it's just a little bit of two teams flexing their muscles, but nobody really being able to land a blow.

00:31:22 Ja, und sie können beide zusammenhaben. Sie müssen diesen Kampf nehmen. Und ich denke, das wird wahrscheinlich die Realisation, dass wir hier eigentlich gut sind. Wenn die andere Team nicht pressen, dann müssen wir sie einfach sein. Wir sind hier für den Endgame, und wir werden sie später fighten. Und sie können quasi zusammenarbeiten. Die Worry ist...

00:31:40 If another team tries to take this spot off you, suddenly that team becomes a threat. So these are all the things you have to start thinking about. Is it more of a threat now? Is it more of a risk now to take this fight? Or is it going to kind of bite us in the backside a little bit later if we let them live too long? Well, looking across at who had a ring console to give them a bit of information at the start of this game. Lightning Rod had one. That was for TSM. There was one at Zeus Station as well. So LG are going to get...

00:32:03 So we'll be able to plan their rotates appropriately.

00:32:26 Ja, ich würde sagen, es gibt einen Grund, warum Dark-Zero ist schon so weit über die map. Sie hatten den Ring, sie haben die Informationen, und sie haben schnell geholfen. Ich habe jetzt auf TSM's journey. Es sieht aus, dass sie ein bisschen ein Pop-Team unter ihnen sind, aber jetzt werden sie weiter mit der Evac-Tower zu versuchen, vielleicht.

00:32:45 So they want to try and play these rocks, which is a pretty good spot. The problem is you have to be very careful of a team moving through that spider choke on either side of you or mirroring you from what we saw. But you can already see from the position of Verholz that it's a pretty good spot to deny line of sight, especially from some of that high ground that we saw the likes of SSG playing. You can see GG up on the crane as well. And it allows you to play for the long game. And it is also a place there.

00:33:08 A lot of the times we see this end circle pull towards. So as long as I can watch their backs here, a couple of Qs from Verholz is going to give them the info if someone does try and sneak up. But this is a good rotate from TSM. I think they're going to be pretty happy. Yeah, and they are one of the few teams that are very good at holding positions like that as well. They are so good at turning around on fights, at prioritizing together. But elsewhere, Native Gaming is going to get into a scuffle and it's great damage from Klain, which will just allow him to escape. Should be able to get a bat off here.

00:33:33 Ja, es ist.

00:34:02 Es ist aber auch sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

00:34:21 And they weren't grieved too much as they tried to make that rotation. Here's the overhead, here's the map. As we can see, only a few teams not within that circle. FaZe, Eternal, Cream, Native, they are the late movers. But everyone else is pretty much hunkered down, found somewhere to live. We're going far south-east here. So Complexity, Dark Zero, SSG, all in fantastic spots. The same for Oblivion. And then we already checked in with TSM. They're holding that northern side. And they do have the mountain to their back. So they can certainly work with this as long as they can hold that choke.

00:34:50 Yeah, TSM in a really good spot. Just have to, like you mentioned, watch out for any late rotates coming in from the north. You've got Eternal who might think about moving that way. You've got FaZe as well. But again, if you're one of those teams rotating from the north through one of those choke points, you know it's going to be a risky move to make. So TSM in a great spot. Dark Zero also watching the south side of this zone. They're going to be careful because Oxygen Esports are coming around that corner right now. And they're a team with a lot to prove this week.

00:35:13 Ja, ich meine, es gibt ein paar Teams, die wirklich haben sich zu proveen, und vielleicht ist es das Punkt, wo wir genug haben, dass sie können, aber sind sie gut genug, aber sind sie gut genug, oder sind sie, A, zu LAN, oder B, sind wir zu reden, dass sie vielleicht sogar noch einmal gewinnen können? Ich weiß, wir nur noch einmal über unsere vorherigen winners sind, aber sicherlich kann es nicht weitergehen, wir haben nur zwei LAN-Winners, right? Surely jemand anderes wird durch und verändern die Narrative hier von Dark Zero und TSM.

00:35:39 Well, Cream have been eliminated, so they are 13-4 out of the lobby at the moment. 17 squads remaining as we see Eternal making a little bit of a rotate on that Trident themselves. And we mentioned how they might try and move on a northern rotate. Well, that's exactly what they are doing at the moment. And TSM are going to have to be very aware of them moving in behind them. Elsewhere, you can see DNO playing on the cannon at the moment. SSG have moved a little bit more south from the top of that wall that we saw them on a minute ago. And OXG just creeping up. You can see they've taken the height.

00:36:07 und das ist ein bisschen ein pokeballer zwischen den beiden Teams.

00:36:11 Yeah, definitely a poke battle right now. Whether it will actually end in anything will remain to be seen. There's a few teams who are in good spots that will be fine if only one team pushes them. But my worry for teams like DNO and for TSM as well, who are on that northern side, if two teams approach at the same time, suddenly your lack of cover is really going to hurt you. So you have to have a kind of plan B to either get out or to at least find a new position or just push a team and get aggressive. So there's certainly got to be those considerations as...

00:36:39 We go back to Drop-In Gaming, they're still residing in the same building, and both teams are still more than happy to do so. I was gonna say, shout out to Drop-In Gaming and Complexity, by the way. This is the kind of... You move into a residential building, these are the kind of neighbours you want, right? You know, just occasionally wave at each other through the window, let each other get on with each other's business. Oh, they turned up with a casserole at the front door. They were more than happy to welcome them in the neighbourhood. Delicious. I'm the kind of neighbour that knocks on you on the first day and goes, hey, have you got any sugar? And if you say yes, I go...

00:37:06 Do you have any butter? Just keep going. Can I have your Wi-Fi code? I'm the one who complains if your Wi-Fi password changes after I've cracked it after a year. Anyway, FaZe, they're making their rotate from the north and this is a team who are facing up against Eternal potentially here, having won the contest. And I think for a team like FaZe, after a pretty shaky game day number two, winning that contest first game, Dan, with players like this, fills you with confidence and Snipedown is a confidence player.

00:37:33 Oh yeah, I think that if you can get sniped down and the rest of this squad going, they are gonna be a real threat in this lobby and a real threat in the positioning wise to all of these teams that are on the northern side. Anyway, Eternal are fighting them, let's jump into a listening and see what the comms are like.

00:38:02 I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting! I'm batting!

00:38:32 I'm coming off the roof. I'm going to die again. I'm going to die again. I'm dying on my door. Is that yours? Is that your door? I'm playing on my door. I'm playing on my door. I've scanned after my med, okay? Okay. He's getting shot at. I think he's still down. I think he's still down. Get the fins. Get the fins. I'm resing. I'm resing. I'm resing.

00:39:01 Jet healthy Carter, I need a car. Is that building still free, Void? No, it doesn't look like it. Okay. Hold on, let me... No, they're there, they're there. People are there. Okay. Carter, Carter. Very strong indeed. And I mean, there was... The communication was a little bit scuffed. I will say there was a lot of screaming that went down that I'm sure they know how to deal with at this point, but...

00:39:23 Ich glaube, sie wurden die ersten Knochen gewonnen, und dann haben sie es sichergestellt. Und sie werden sie wieder zurückgekommen. Speaking von zurückgekommen, Dark-Zero haben ihren Weg in eine der Bühne, die wir vorhin waren. Wir waren über die Freunde, Marc. Well, eine der Freunde, die von Dark-Zero war, von der Looks. Ja, die Droppen-Gaming werden dann fallen, und das bedeutet, dass Dark-Zero wird die einzige Teil dieser Bühne sein, glaube ich, das wird sicher sein, wenn die Zone geschlossen werden.

00:39:50 Dark-Zero macht ihr Spiel, sie macht ihr, und dann geht es weiter. Und jetzt sieht man, dass sie ein bisschen weitergehen können. Komplexity, in der meantime, look at das. Sie haben sich die Armour um, und sie sind ein bisschen mehr healthy, als sie ein paar Moments ago sind. Es ist nur die sehr Körner der Bühne, die wir sicher sind. Das ist warum Dark-Zero entschieden, das ist nicht der Platz, wir wollen für den langen. Aber Komplexity, endlich ein bisschen breathing room zu bekommen.

00:40:13 Dark Zero walk into the neighborhood, evict a team, and then they just leave. Landlords. That was brutal. Landlords. Classic landlord behavior. Classic sums them up. Oxygen have just made their way to center circle, by the way. SSG find themselves on the southern side. And Native have to push from the far west here. And they're going to be greeted by two or three teams that are trying to do the same thing. Ape Gang are in the building ahead of them. Elevate also just on the other side. So Native have got to be careful. Might have to use some ultibuts here just to try and stay alive.

00:40:42 Yeah, you can see the EA are trying to kind of better their way up that hill as well using the Dark Veil. Phase eliminated. In the meantime, the last player is taken down, Zeratricki. And speaking of Zeratricki, well, there's some tricky moves coming in as the native gaming try and make their rotation. Now, the zone is going to be closing. They do have an evac tower down, but I think it might just be bait. They're going to try and play around this cat wall, but that zone is a problem for them. But they find a corner to play, but a corner that doesn't look too comfortable right now.

00:41:08 Ja, GKS auf der anderen Seite, Elevate auch da, und sogar Optiker hat eine Sniff auf das. Native sehr gut zu bleiben, um sich gesund zu können. Du musst nur versuchen, und es ist schon passiert. Elevate sind schon wieder involviert, und es ist schon passiert. Elevate sind gerade involviert, und es hilft, dass Native etwas Reset ist, aber sie sind noch in einem schweren Spot. Oh, oh, die Black Hole wird in, und das wird alles aufhören. Ein paar Natives zu folgen. Oh, da ist die Da-

00:41:34 Zapp is doing some good work here for both teams, and mostly good work here for EA. Great shots coming in from the wingman, but nothing really that they can push off of because they know there's still two teams in it. Yeah, they know GKS are just on the other side, and they want to desperately get these finishes just to get the extra KP on board.

00:41:53 Und hier kommt Optik. Optik hier, all of this going down. They wait for the Nox in the killfeed, and they say, now is our time to strike, which might actually benefit E8 to be able to get a res. I'm not sure if Zack Maiden was actually finished off there, or if he's going to be able to be res, but Native...

00:42:22 Somehow, und ich bin nicht ganz sicher, wie Elevator Gaming Eliminated completely, haben wir all das geschafft. Das ist unglaublich, dass jetzt das Fall sendt, dass du so viel damage als du kannst mit SMGs. Rambo ist die erste zu fallen, aber es ist ein trade, 1 für 1. Drops hat auch gedauert. Jetzt ist es 1 versus 2. 1 versus 2.

00:42:40 Ja, nicht nur Dark-Zero, aber auch die GKS. Wir griffen die finalen Spieler von Optik.

00:43:08 But Complexity and Dark Zero are kind of holding the high and low ground of the primary position on the southwest side who are going to be a real threat. Dark Zero on the height and Complexity just below them. But this is a good spot because you can walk along this bridge into where that zone is going to be pulling.

00:43:25 Sie können auch alle anderen, die sich über die Öffentlichkeitsstehung aufbauen. Optik Gaming ist ein Team für die Farmer. Und es ist LG, die noch in diesem Spiel sind. Sie sehen Funk in der Killfeed. Und hier ist der Kampf zwischen Gaming Gladiators und TSM. Hauer wird versuchen, das und nicht zu werden, dass er die Dämpfe hat. Aber die Zone ist für diese Kampf. 1 Minute und 4 Sekunden left, bis diese Teams haben zu gehen.

00:43:46 Yeah, TSM just want to take isolated fights. They're trying to avoid the two teams that are above them on the northern side, and they've got The Rock as coverage right now, so they're in a good spot, but they do have to move in about 50 seconds, excuse me, but they're moving right into D&O Gaming. This is a big fight for TSM. Brefs is going to take a bit of damage here. The smoke goes down just to give them a few seconds maybe to recover. Verholz has got to hold the ground here for TSM, as Oblivion will be eliminated in the meantime.

00:44:11 So they have an opportunity to maybe step up a little bit more. And it's D&O who are on the other side of this fight, holding this head glitch, holding this high ground. And TSM are having to force this, but it looks like Cross wants to make the play. Yeah, TSM are struggling to get that initial damage to allow them to push uphill. And now with reps going down, it might be a bitter end for TSM. As here comes the push, they try and go out with a bang, but TSM eliminated in ninth position. Eight squads now remain. SSG hold one of the primary positions. Dark Zero still doing a lot of damage from this southern side as well.

00:44:40 If you want an example of how to play Bangalore, watch some Zero gameplay. The man is a master of not just the abilities, but using that double time to just get in and out of situations, to take attention away, to scout, whatever it might be. He really does know how to utilize every single bit of Bangalore's kit. And look at LG, sweet, still alive. Just, I will say, one HP and a dream. He's squeezing everything together to try and stay alive at this point, but at least he's got a little bit of extra shield from the Conduit before he has to back out.

00:45:07 Bis wir jetzt noch mehr Platz haben, oder ist er noch mehr Platz? Du kannst ein paar mehr Platz haben, und das ist eigentlich nicht so schlecht. Manchmal ist es nicht so schlecht. Manchmal ist es ein bisschen mehr Platz. Jetzt haben wir ein bisschen mehr Platz. Jetzt haben wir ein bisschen mehr Platz. Jetzt haben wir ein bisschen mehr Platz. Now Oxygen, Complexity, und Dark Zero sind alle in der gleichen vicinity. Aber sie sind alle auf sehr unterschiedliche Angelegenheiten, und es ist natürlich mehr schwierig, wenn man auf den Lowgrounden kann, aber es gibt einen Dark Veil zu protecten, als sie versuchen, sie versuchen, ihre Bewegung zu machen.

00:45:33 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.

00:45:50 Wir kommen zu der Final Circle und wir haben fünf Quads, aber remember, eine von ihnen ist ein Rat. Es ist sozusagen vier, mit einem Sprinkel von Sweet. Und was kann Sweet tun, um zu beeinflusst das Final Circle zu tun? SSG haben diese Position für ziemlich lange Zeit. Und tatsächlich, eine Nummer von SSG ist nach Dark Zero, so sie wissen Dark Zero sind da. Oxygen ist einfach nur dort, wo Dark Zero ist, und dann hat Flat, die die gesamte Entfernung der Norden sind. Es ist SSG, oder wie Dengaskin mit dem, die Jackplads?

00:46:19 Wir sind in eine gewisse Position zu vielleicht gewinnen. Und was ein Start das wäre für SSG zu reentieren in der Apex Legends Global Series. Aber GG wird etwas sagen. Aber es ist interessant, dass wir Dark Zero haben. Die Nummer 1-team. Und dann alle anderen in der Lobby im Moment sind, und ich halte Sweet als Solo. Es ist vielleicht die Teams, die etwas zu tun haben, in dieser Lobby zu tun. SSG wird die Dark Veil, und jetzt wird sie wieder zurückgekommen, nach Dark Zero zu machen. Nano hat die Knock-On to Jen, doch. Und jetzt wird sie versuchen, dass jemand anderes zu machen.

00:46:48 Remember, SSG kommen auf der Back of a Victory on Matchday 3. Sie sind heißen jetzt, und sie wirklich wollen den Momentum weitergehen. Und diese Gruppe ist mehr und mehr gefährlich, die mehr wir sehen, und sie sehen, wie sie spielen. Und sie sehen, wie sie das jetzt im Moment spielen. Sie backen auf, wenn sie ein bisschen schlafen, sie resetten und dann starten mehr Platz nehmen. Oxygen sind zwischen einem Rock und einem Hard-Place, und sie werden sicherlich griffen von Flatt, oder GG, sorry. Während Sweet ist noch alive, als ein Solo-Rat. Nein, er ist nicht, er ist down. Jetzt haben wir vier Gruppen.

00:47:18 Es ist ein 3-3-3-3.

00:47:19 Well I see that Zero and Sikes are alive, and if you've been watching the internet recently then you would have seen that there was some good communication between these two that was turned into a metal song, but this time Zero's gonna have to show his metal, but won't be able to. Dark Zero eliminated, we're down to 3, it's now Flat moving. Flat moving onto SSG, as soon as they saw that damage was happening, they tried to press, they tried to get into a position where they could maybe take an angle, but now everyone kinds of resets here, so now it will be a 3v3v3, and everyone gets a little bit of a lull here, whilst the Dark Ve-

00:47:48 Wow, Flat!

00:48:18 Soon to be, the Gaming Gladiators. And I tell you what, they said, see you in the Colosseum. It seems like they were more than ready for Match Day 4 here in North America. They turned it into a victory. And as you say, they just were able to just gain a little bit more ground each time as they pushed up. And then to gain the height was everything, especially with the Dark Veils being down. They were able to look and peek over and grief those teams. So great positioning from them in the Final Circle.

Spielanalyse und Team-Performance

00:48:41

00:48:41 Yeah, great knowledge of where they were in the zone in comparison to everyone else as well. Didn't have to force anything. Knew that SSG were going to have to fight in that position and just wanted to pick the pieces up. It was a simple endgame for them to take care of. And there's always a fight you have to take before that that kind of rolls you into that good position. So shout out to Flat. They're going to be the winners of game number one. But some of our big teams were, like I mentioned, still involved in that game, Dan, right until the very end. Yeah, Dark Zero inside that top five. LG, I think Sweet managed to rat its way to the...

00:49:07 Ja, everyone looked very impressive. Marc, I'll let you go and bring Stella back into the fray here to see her thoughts and discuss things. I mean, Stella, an interesting match won. I mean, five scores remaining in the final circle. One of them was a rat, but it was certainly an entertaining final circle. It was incredible. I was surprised that...

00:49:36 Sweet, did not get noticed for as long as he did, especially being so close to Flat. But I also want to shout out Flat for doing such a good job of taking up so much space in that outer courtyard. And then all they had to do was wait for Oxygen and SSG to finish their fight. And Flat won with very, very, a lot of ease. And it was just incredibly smart of them to...

00:49:56 und sich fühlen wie sie mehr als eine force zu kämpfen. So, natürlich, die anderen Teams waren zu treffen. Ja, und Suite geteilt in 5th Platz, aber das Placement ist ziemlich gut. Und TSM war in 9th Platz, was ich ein bisschen überrascht. Aber, again, Storm Point Rotation, es ist wirklich easy zu werden. Und das ist kind of was passiert zu viele Leute.

00:50:17 Yeah, TSM war just fighting uphill, couldn't really get the damage onto DNO. DNO died instantly after killing TSM as well. It was just one of those where it was never really going to work out for either squad because there was going to be another team waiting in the distance. Just a zone pull that pulled away from both of the teams and sometimes that's all you can work with. But 9th isn't the end of the world.

00:50:36 8th is in the end of the world for D&O as well. You have to try and gain as many points as possible even in the unfavorable zones and that's what will make you have consistent points and that's how you will find yourself just climbing the leaderboards and getting closer to playoffs. Speaking of, I think we can look at the match results and we can just see how everything's looking, Stella.

00:50:54 Absolutely. And Flak coming in first, of course, with 21 total points. Nine kills, which is pretty impressive. That is a lot higher than even Oxygen Esports. And Dark Zero, who we saw absolutely fragging out. Now, Dark Zero is only two kills behind. But, of course, with Flak getting the placement points, they do jump up in score.

00:51:14 Yeah, very impressive 21 points, but down in the bottom we saw Skrt unfortunately went down in the early stages because of that contest that went down. It didn't really work out for their opposing team too much either. FaZe, even though they won their contest, weren't really able to move quick enough. Again, that is sometimes the detriment of being in a contest that even if you win it, you are so far behind in the rotation race that you are going to struggle to make your way. I mean, it was a difficult rotation anyway because it was a southern zone, but that's always going to be extra frustration for sure.

00:51:43 Lots of gamings, Optic Gaming, Native Gaming, Element Gaming, Drop-In Gaming, all the gamings, but they all find themselves in the bottom 10. Of course, yeah. And look at the damage from our top three placement teams. And it was pointed out that these are all the teams that we talked about today at the top of show. Listen, I hope that doesn't count as casters, Chris, but I think we're right on the money here. Oh, no, don't say...

00:52:07 Das ist wie es passiert. All es braucht nur eine Mention, und dann plötzlich die Kast occurs. Es passiert. Ich habe mich beeinflusst. Du hast mich beeinflusst bei der Damage von Nano. 2.7k Damage kommt aus Nano. Das ist sehr beeinflusst, und du musst Spieler wie das auf deinem squad.

00:52:21 Absolutely. I mean, listen, damage is all about being able to crossfire with your teammates. And it doesn't even matter. At this point, it doesn't even matter if you get the kills. It matters if your team gets the kills. And that's exactly what they were able to do. Well, we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll have match number two ready for you.

00:54:34 Alright, welcome back. Hi Gaskin, how was your break? Did you get some water? Yeah, I had a minute to run to the bathroom, got some water, I'm refueled, I'm hydrated, I'm ready to go for another game as always. Awesome. Yeah, so let's talk a little bit about who you think is going to win today. Who do you think is going to come out on top? Dark Zero looked really strong, but also, I mean, that last circle was so chaotic. I have no idea if it's all RNG or if we're going to see better performances out of flat consistently today.

Team-Erwartungen und Contests

00:55:03

00:55:03 Um, ich denke, das wäre ein ein-off. Ich denke, Flatt ist sicherlich gut, aber ich denke, dass SSG ein Team zu sehen ist. Ich denke, dass eine neue Org-Signung immer hilft. Und du kannst es auch sagen, für Flatt, bei der WM-Signung, bei GG. Es ist immer noch ein bisschen zu geben, das extra boost und das extra bisschen zu tun. Also, das extra bisschen zu tun. Ich weiß nicht, dass Leute nicht versuchen, wenn sie nicht.

00:55:24 Ja, natürlich. Und wir sahen, dass es ein bisschen Contest auf der Wall mit Phase und Temperatur war heute. Und ich glaube Phase 1 war auf das, was great, aber sie auch nicht wirklich... sie waren wirklich able zu sustainen das während der Match, weil sie 3KP getrennt, aber ihre Placement war nicht so groß.

00:55:50 Ja, es ist einfach nur eine Situation, wo man die Contest gewinnen kann, aber man plötzlich verliert die Rotate. Man wird so weit entfernt. Es war eine schwierige Rotate für sie, aber Faze wird noch ein bisschen mehr Northern-Zone, weil, leider, wenn man die Contest hat, man braucht so lange Zeit, und das wird passieren vom Norden. Ja, und ihr absolut...

00:56:12 Absolutely, right? Even on a big map like Stormpoint, it is really important to rotate as soon as you can because it's one of those things of you can get one of those redeploy towers quite easily. But I'm going to leave the game to you and Onset to carry out match number two. Thank you very much, Stellar. I'm here, everyone. Don't panic. It's time for us again. It's game number...

00:56:34 Und ich will sagen, ich will sagen, ich will sagen, ich will sagen, es ist mein Replacement zu den Alternator. Und Faze sind auf der Backfoot. Und ich will sagen, ich will sagen, ich will sagen, ich will sagen, es ist mein Replacement zu den Alternator. Und ich will sagen, ich will sagen, ich will sagen.

00:57:01 Oh, es ist nicht 100 plus, aber es ist gut genug. Faze Eliminated. Wir sind 1-1, Dan. Faze ist nicht gut zu spielen, die Apex zu sehen. Ich meine, das Contest ist getan, bei der Seite, mit der Flight Path, wie close es war zu dem Norden, von Stormpoint, dass wir nicht sogar Skirt landen, für den zweiten Contest. Ja, das ist warum ich die Dropship habe, weil es bedeutet, dass wir zwei Kontests passieren können, aber es sieht, dass wir vielleicht Skirt...

00:57:27 Don't take the fight initially. They're going to look to try and get a little bit more loot to work with. We do have two Revenants in the lobby, by the way. One of them being Albreleli. Of course, ever since the Revenant rework, a very valuable legend to use in certain scenarios. Certainly for players who like to be aggressive. I mean, the extra shields that you gain during his ultimate is always going to be good for those players who like to get in and then get out. You can take that damage and do an extra bit. A little bit like what Conduit does, but arguably more selfishly.

00:57:56 Ja, das ist ja, ich spiele Revenant. Anyway, Seto Station ist unser Fokus. Usually we see die Zones pull just to the west side of Seto. We'll have to see if that is going to be the case, but now we're going to see the contest continue. Ablele does get a shield swap, though. Gets that blue, and he's going to be able to escape for now. Teammates are moving in now to try and back him up a little bit, but no real kind of...

00:58:18 Das ist das, was wir jetzt an, als Nox angeht. Der Height ist immer noch ein Advantage. Skurry, aber er hat ihn nicht mehr. Er hat einen Meds zu spielen, aber er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht. Er hat ihn nicht mehr gemacht.

00:58:44 Es ist die Kreme, die zu den Topen wiederum. Und es wird das Skirthoeufel geben. Es ist nur Game 2. Was ein Kommentator.

00:58:55 Just love it. Absolutely love it. I was thinking the same thing, but you know, you just do it better, bigger and better. Yeah, unfortunate for Skirts. I mean, it's great. It's great having a Revenant, right? But if you don't get that ultimate going, then you lose a lot of the kind of benefits of running a Revenant compared to having the Conduit. I mean, I know they have the Conduit as well, but...

00:59:14 Yeah, it's a shame for Skurt. I think, again, it's down to weaponry. Sometimes that is how the cookie crumbles when it comes to contests. If you get good weapons, get bad weapons. In EMEA, we saw someone drop on three P2020s in a row. So that can happen. The game can go against you at times, and that's the risk that you run with contests happening. Dan? Yes? Give me a beacon check, my friend. Ring console check. Who's going to have information on where this zone is going to be going, and who's going to be able to plan their rotate efficiently?

00:59:40 We had one at Mill, so Dark Zero able to move plenty early, or plenty quickly, should I say. There was one down over towards Echo and Coastal Camp as well, so the southern teams are all pretty good, and this is why Dark Zero are already in this building, and they're dealing some impressive damage as well, as they made them move very quickly from Mill over towards this side. It's going to be Oxygen who are on the other side of this, and one thing I love about Dark Zero, when they get the first knock, not afraid to try and immediately finish the fight. They want a death ball, they want to find those second and third players to make sure.

01:00:10 that they aren't going to be a threat a little bit later on. They're not going to be able to, but they are forcing Oxygen away. So you would say a win for sure for Dark Zero. They take control of the building now and they're going to be chilling here for quite some time.

01:00:20 Elsewhere, TSM hat eine Ring Console, aber sie sind noch in ihrer PoE. Sie werden nicht mehr so schnell gehen. Als sie sehen, dass sie die Zone beobachtungen sind, haben sie zu spielen. Checkpoint also hat eine Ring Console. Ich glaube nicht, es war eine auf Downbeast für OpTic zu arbeiten. Sie haben eine Survey Beacon, aber keine Ring Console. Das war eine Frage, die Sie hatten, an der Anfang der Show hatten, für OpTic. Vielleicht ist es ein Grund, warum sie nicht so viel Erfolg haben, ist, dass Downbeast nicht gesehen hat.

01:00:50 wie es so ist es. SSG hat einen auf Launchpad, aber ich denke, wie TSM, der Plan ist, dass wir nicht zu werden, dass wir nicht zu werden, dass wir nicht zu werden, dass wir nicht zu werden, dass wir eine Priorität haben. Wir müssen uns um den Map ein bisschen machen. Wir müssen uns um den Weg um. Wir müssen uns um...

01:01:04 ... ... ... ...

01:01:28 Ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja

01:01:40 und also PYs, die haben Ring Consoles und Grafters und Survey Beacons. Es ist ein tolles Weg zu bewegen durch, als Eterne, sprechen von Paths, können sie die Paths zu versuchen, zu versuchen, hier zu versuchen. Es sieht man, sie werden immer so etwas zurückkehren, aber das ist ein Kampf zu Ende, und das wird bald aus der Zone sein, so es ist ein Kampf, das wahrscheinlich wird zu Ende sein, schneller als später. Das sind zwei Teams, die wir versuchen, für das Third Beacon zu contestieren. Wir sehen uns Eterne haben die erste Beacon, oder Ring Consoles, ich würde sagen.

01:02:10 So they're going to have information on where the zone is going, but they might be thinking about trying to play for the third, as are the team who are going to be contesting them here as well. It looks like it might be a little bit of damage going down on the favor of Eternal, but as I say, the first knock actually goes to E8. So E8 are in the building right now, and they got that first knock, and it's Zach Mazur who maybe makes up for an overextension in the last game by picking up the first knock in this fight.

01:02:32 Es ist so eine schwierige Kampf zu halten, denn es gibt vier verschiedene Angeln, die man sich überlegen. Die Katalist wird vielleicht zwei, also das kann man sich zurückkehren. Aber wenn ich die Opposition-Team hier wäre, würde ich nur auf hohe Garten arbeiten, um die Spieler zu gehen, um die Circle zu spielen. Und das ist das Problem, weil niemand wirklich will, dass sich das so viel zu slowen. Once again, man sieht E8 mit einem Ehrlein-Wingman aus.

01:02:59 We are seeing a few care package weapons dropping very early to teams, and oh my god, that is a pretty much a great illustration if you wanted to maybe indicate what the Wingman does in its current state. What can you do against that, right? They're in a two versus three, they're trying to hunker down, they've barricaded off two of the entry points, and then you walk in, you just get three tapped by the Wingman. It's so...

01:03:28 Es ist so wichtig, wenn du ein Legend hast, was in die Care Package kann, wenn du ein Wingman sehen kannst, besser werden es. Wenn du ein Wingman hast, musst du das. Aber mit den Veränderungen zu den Care Package sehen, dass wir die Red Weapons in den ersten Stages sehen können, kann so eine große Unterschiede mit einem Wingman kommen.

01:03:48 We were having a little joke and a little bit of fun earlier about how it's obviously the fifth birthday of Apex Legends. Happy birthday, Apex Legends fans. And how we're seeing a little bit of throwback with some of the compositions we saw in EMEA. We saw Caustic and Wraith win a game today. It was a lovely little throwback. And now we're seeing a charge rifle. So, you know, it's maybe not season one, maybe a little bit later on. But for something we haven't seen pretty much all season, it's good to see maybe the throwback and the classics coming out now in Stormpoint in North America.

01:04:15 Hey, you don't only celebrate the first season and anniversary, we celebrate all the different metas and all the different seasons, and the Charge Rifle certainly played a huge part in Apex Legends for arguably too long, but it still was a very powerful weapon. Now, not so much, but it still has its uses in the right hands, and I'd usually say it's probably when loot hasn't really been great for you, but I mean, I don't know, some people might just still like the thing. I will say, by the way, this is another what I would describe as a...

Unvorhersehbare Zonen und Team-Anpassungen

01:04:44

01:04:44 Unpredictable. Und ich meine das in der Weise, dass die Leute nicht sehen, aber ich glaube nicht, dass sie es kommen können. Die Zone Pool. Die Zone Pool, ja. Wir sind weg, wo wir ein paar Teams finden, in der Mitte der Welt, in der Mitte der Welt. South. Outside of Jurassic, es wird auf die Hälfte, auf die Hälfte, die sehr, sehr... ...räre Endzone, ich würde sagen. Traditionally, das wir sehen auf Stormpoint.

01:05:08 You can always tell when it's an unpredictable zone pull based on how many teams were blindsided by it, and I can count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, potentially 9 teams that all position themselves elsewhere as Dark Zero. Finally, we'll be able to take down the first player onto DNO, and they will be able to hold this building accordingly because of that. They are another team who are probably going to have to move shortly when they see where the zone is going to be pulling as well.

01:05:35 But at least they are going to be in a position where they could rotate south here. They don't have to go through all the commotion on that northern side. Interested to see what the players here from DNRU. They do, of course, have conduit, so they can go and craft if they needed to. And I think that Crust has decided it's a solo mission to get the Trident.

01:05:51 Maybe think about going out towards Mill and crafting that banner to get Duplex back in the game. He did get dropped a couple of meds on his way. So maybe that's going to be the plate. Or maybe it's going to be into Cenote, which is another option, of course, because there is crafting available there. So a lonely mission, but one that will come up with a friend at least. So TSM Dark Veil goes down as they approach the previous match winners flat. And it looks like they did enough just to scare them away. It's not going to be a straight fight that's going to go down.

01:06:20 Ja, und...

01:06:48 And sometimes you're always thinking, wow, we didn't get prior to this zone. How are we going to approach it? This is the benefit of planning a rotate and pathing yourself in a way where you can collect information that becomes of greater value towards the endgame. That third ring console, I'll call it a beacon forever, by the way, everybody, is going to be...

01:07:06 wie du sagst, komplett und utterly invaluable für sie in einer der besten Positionen zu sein. Alle anderen, die Banken auf geht ein bisschen mehr nach, wie Ape Gang, wie du hier sehen, Droppen, Gaming, Oblivion, Temper, GKS, LG, alle haben zu gehen. Und das ist nur eine gewünschte Placement Points für ein Team wie TSM. Und dann geht es sogar noch weiter nach, als auch.

01:07:26 Not a fun circle for really anyone except maybe Complexity. I think it's quite fun. Complexity will just be like kind of whistling to themselves for the next 20 minutes. As long as no one jumps on them, they have a real opportunity to not just get into the late game here, but I mean, I won't call it just yet, but there's always the chance of winning from these positions. But certainly that zone could still pull away from them as we get into final, final circle. So we'll have to see. I won't get ahead of myself as Dark Zero are making their move. They are being certainly spotted out and ultimate.

01:07:55 Sie sind auch mit Duplex, er wird auch mit Duplex suchen.

01:08:24 Und jetzt Dark Zero hat ihn mit ihm. Ein paar Shots gehen. Die Smokes werden ihn mit ihm verlassen. Aber Sie können jetzt die Difficulty für Dark Zero sehen. Sie sind trabten. Sykes ist auch in den Kühn. Er hat den Kühn hier auf den Conduit zu kommen. Er hat ein paar Schilds zurück, als er versucht, ihn zurück in den Bildung zu machen. Und er hat ihn einfach zu machen. Und er hat ihn so gemacht. Aber diese Stone Pool hat, ich würde sagen, hat viele Teams zu fühlen.

01:08:52 Ich denke, Dark-Zero hat eine Evac-Tower. Ich würde sagen, wenn sie wirklich in eine bad Situation sind, können Sie denken über Evac-Tower werden. Vielleicht ist es nicht wichtig. Wenn die Nemesist, die das ganze Menge machen kann, kann sie durchführen. Aber sie müssen hier entscheiden, nach oder nach. Nichts, über die Evac-Tower. Sie können jetzt einfach durchführen. Und es sieht aus, dass sie nach nach nach nach geht. Okay, sie wurden nach nach nach.

01:09:15 Ja, Duplex geht wieder wieder und Krust ist wieder zurück. Ich habe es wieder einmal, ich habe es nicht wieder zurück. Ich habe es wieder einmal, ich habe es nicht wieder zurück. So, sie gehen, sie können nicht so machen. LG ist jetzt nicht auf der Waterfall. Der Plan ist jetzt nicht zu zeigen, aber wenn ein Team landen, sie haben sie einfach nur einen Platz. LG ist in einem guter Platz für heute. Sie sind safe. A Gang fließt past sie auch. Komplex ist jetzt in der Geburt. Elsewhere, TSM jetzt müssen sie machen. Sie müssen von Jurassic durch eine sehr toga...

01:09:41 Das ist bei Flatt. So SSG inside this building. They're a long way away from Circle. But the big fight here is going to be between TSM and Flatt. Every time you say that, I just think, when I make my move. Anyway, Native, Dark Zero. Dark Zero down to just one. It is going to be zero against the world at the moment. It looks like it's going to come to a very quick conclusion as Dark Zero get eliminated in 17th position. Native, again, backs against the wall. Very good at fighting today as they put themselves on eight points and up into eighth position.

01:10:10 Well, I mentioned the big fight, and it's been won by TSM. They take down Flat. They will take control of the fence line over at Jurassic, and they will be safe for the next zone. That was such an important fight for them to win. Elsewhere, this is everybody who's trying to leave Seto Station at the moment. Everybody who kind of bet on this being where the end zone will be taking place now has to leave. Tempo, one of those squads who's really struggled to find anything good to talk about so far this season. They're finding themselves with one down and cloaked. He's going to have to be rezzed.

01:10:38 Are they going to be able to get the res? It looks like they should be. Meanwhile, Oxygen versus LG is going down. It looks like it's a two versus two. Maybe it can start to be even down a little bit because Sweets just fallen and LG will be wiped. So Oxygen showing why they are a dangerous 3v3 fighting team. We've always said that ever since the days of the arena tournaments when we saw some of these guys being able to do their biggest and best impressions of playing on a certain map. Now, SSG though, are going to be able to see this from a distance and...

01:11:05 Will the smoke protect them? I don't think it's going to be able to do so. Dark Veil will go down on the other side and Oxygen are just stuck in a rock between a hard place. Yeah, it's a really rough spot. At least they've got some smoke, so maybe that can buy them enough time. But SSG are going to be moving up on them. Can they get that res back? Is there an opportunity to drop a shield here for the res player? Or is SSG going to try and use this opportunity to move forward and clean this up? They'd use the Dark Veil to cross and deny those lines of sight from the high ground, but they're not going to be able to stop this res coming in, I don't think. And now they're going to have to fight Oxygen.

01:11:35 Aber es sieht aus wie sie den Rez hat. Jetzt kann sie in den Rez gehen. Reeds ist noch auf dem Back. Ja, er ist noch auf dem Back, aber vielleicht wird er wieder zurückgegangen. Er ist jetzt in der Moment, aber jetzt wird er ein Wetter, aber es ist noch etwas Grief von der anderen Seite. SSG versucht zu pushen. Du kannst auch andere Gruppen in der Nähe versuchen zu tun, gleichzeitig zu tun. Die Circles sind alle zusammengekommen. SSG ist nicht in der besten Spots. Optik, however, ist in der gute Spots. Und sie können vielleicht noch ein paar KP hier bekommen.

01:12:00 Optik in einer solchen Position, Native Eliminator, Tempura Eliminator und Ape Gang also gone in den letzten zwei Sekunden. Wir sind jetzt auf 8 Sekunden und Optik, die nicht haben Beacon, jetzt finden sich in einem guten Spot, um in diesem Endgame zu beurteilen. Komplexe in der Bildung mit ihnen, aber TSM jetzt machen ihre Bewegung. Sie kontrollieren all den Souten des Zones.

01:12:20 Ja, TSM holden den Souten-Side, Complexity und Optik in den buildings. Oxygen also kind of fighting their way in. It's going to be tougher for Dropping Gaming, Oblivion and Elevate. They're in the kind of harder spots to be able to force their way into the circle, but they certainly can influence things in a way to frustrate those teams who are in some of the kind of more prime positions. As I say, that Dropping Gaming will be eliminated, and Optik are still dealing damage to Oxygen. Oxygen just can't catch a break as TSM also starts to get involved.

01:12:46 Die TSM müssen die Meds finden, und das ist genau das, was sie machen. Sie kontrollieren die South Side der Zone, und wir schauen uns mit TSM zu sehen, wie sie diese Endzone navigieren.

01:12:55 He's in the bin, he's sitting in the bin. I'm going, I'm going to have a syringe. Anyone have a syringe? No. He's looting the bodies again. We got a posture north. I have 30, bro. I have 30 bullets. We have to fucking fucking game. They have a wingman over here. They're racing right now. I'm not worried about that. We have to worry about north. What guy cross here?

01:13:24 Okay They did rest make sure they don't hear us out one guy one guy got rest one guy to do over there I'm holding this north side. I'm holding north side. I have 24 heavy now 24 heavy I don't have heavy for my 20 energy. I only have energy. I have 300 energy though, okay?

01:13:52 Will you keep, can we play over here? I'm playing back They're getting needed on the bin, look at the bin, look at the bin, look at the bin, look at the bin, free shots, free chills

01:14:05 TSM ist in großartig, aber wie wir von den Listenern haben, die einzige Probleme für sie ist, ist ein LACK OF BULLETS!

01:14:31 Ich glaube, es wird ein paar Mal sehen. TSM haben sie gesehen. E8 haben sie gesehen. Ich denke, es wird bald für Oxygen sein, als die Türke starten zu close. Du kannst nicht wissen. Du kannst nicht. Du kannst nicht. Du kannst nicht. Du kannst nicht. Du kannst nicht.

01:14:58 ... ... ... ... ...

01:15:14 Yeah, as long as none of the other teams kind of jump out and send it onto TSM, they certainly are in prime position at the moment. And that's also, I think, why they want to inflict as much damage onto Oxygen and make other teams aware that Oxygen are there. If you fire bullets towards them, suddenly everyone else realizes there's players there they have to worry about. And then that is less gunfire that's going to be on TSM. It's now Circle beginning to close here and beginning to force these teams together. Oxygen do get eliminated, but now Elevate are going to be fighting Complexity and now Optic joins in as well.

01:15:41 Zagmazer wird mit der Grenade geschehen, aber das Problem ist, dass er keine Bullets in der Hand ist und er hat ihn zu reisen. Können sie den Kampf enden, EA? Können sie gesund sein, um ihre Team-Mate zurück zu bringen? Sie gewinnen den Kampf, wie die Team-Mate, zwei Team-Mate, von Optik. Es gibt nur eine Alive und das wird Nogged und sie werden können das Res.

01:15:59 3 v 3 v 3 v 3. 3 v 3 v 3. Look at Hal.

01:16:26 Oh my.

01:16:55 Schubi kann es nicht tun, dass das Wingman ist. Es ist Wingman-Wingman-Action. Du hast Rebs versucht, mit dem Wingman-Wingman-Action zu reagieren. Er macht es einen Schubi, aber es gibt einen Schubi. Schubi kann es nicht tun, dass er das Ziel ist.

01:17:23 Wow, Complexity, play that final circle to perfection. They didn't get kind of excited about potential kills that were happening below them. They stayed and they held their ground and they waited. Even when they saw the knocks happening, even when they saw Optic eliminated, they didn't just dive in. They knew they had to just play it safe, wait for someone else to do the work for you, and then you start to get involved. And I said I was worried about a Horizon Gravlift, and it was exactly that, and it was the Wingman that just punched hell out of the air.

01:17:52 It was pretty disgusting to watch, actually. The Wingman just does disgusting things. Yeah, I mean, you hear it in the comms, right? We learned a lot from the TSM listeners. They have Wingman. It's like, okay, we cannot cross open ground with them because we know one bullet and we're pretty much in a situation where we're going to have to expend a shield battery to get back into the fight. And even to find cover is going to be difficult because we know the rate of fire is quick enough on the Wingman. You hit one headshot, two more bullets. We saw it earlier on, three bullets, you're dead. So I think that situation and that...

01:18:21 The presence of that weapon is something that people are as aware of now as a Kraber, right? Because it's that consistent output of damage. It's the extreme damage so quickly that can just turn fights on his head. And I've got to say, E8 as well, from the position they were in, holding off Optic on that low ground to be involved in that final fight, I think they had a great game. Yeah, they had a great game. I think the...

01:18:41 Everyone in that final circle probably thought they had a chance once it became the 3 vs 3 vs 3. Elevate was certainly the team that was struggling a little bit when they had to try and force themselves onto the upper ground, especially when we saw Hal deal that amount of damage, but Elevate did very well to use the Dark Veil to their advantage to get into a position, and then the Horizon Grablift, I mean, it was beautiful to watch, but sadly it wasn't enough to win them the game.

01:19:03 All right, Dan, take a break, my friend. Get your breath back and we'll bring Stella back in to talk about what we just saw because Stormpoint was fun. And I've got to say, Kim Chi just sits on the side, you know, his internet comes out and turns it back on. He's like, you know what, boys, I think we should win some games of Apex. There he goes. I know.

01:19:19 So well, which is really hard to do considering.

01:19:48 all the different elements that can happen in Apex. Yeah, I mean, those end circles you're seeing at the moment, right? It's very rare that you're going to see an end circle now where it's two players in a 1v1 playing around knockdown shields. Usually there's smokes down, there's dark veils that you're going to have to step through. You know, actually finding the target visually is very, very difficult to do. So those 1v1s can come down to skill, but also a little bit of luck sometimes that you might get that line of sight first before another player can. So Complexity, top of the leaderboards, they had a great spot. Remember, they were one of the only teams in that zone.

01:20:18 Ja, absolut. Ich meine, sie waren wirklich gut mit Wattson, und TSM ist in 3rd place mit dieser Match. Ich meine, sie haben 6 Kills, was...

01:20:35 Really great. I mean, it was just unfortunate. It was one of those situations where I feel like if they didn't use the wingmen, it may have gotten a little bit more in their favor, but also the positioning was just really bad at that point. And I don't know if they could have come back from that.

01:20:48 Ja, ich denke, TSM war in eine great spot. Ich denke, die Problem für sie war, dass Hau versucht zu machen, um die Hau zu machen, um zu nehmen, wo alle anderen anderen waren, weil er hatte ein Lack des Secondaries. Wir gehört es. Ich habe keine Heavy Ammo, ich kann nicht mehr, meine Secondary Weapons haben. So er hat sich zu den Mozambik und hat sich in eine Position, wo er fühlt sich, dass er die meisten Schmerzen konnte. TSM ist ein Spiel-Winningspot, aber vielleicht nicht nur die Lütte zu gehen, sondern es zu wirklich capitalisieren, in der safest way sie könnten.

01:21:17 Ja, absolut. Und es ist ein bisschen überraschend zu sehen LG und Dark Zero auf der zweiten Seite. Ich meine, es war ein schwerer, schwerer Aufmerksamkeit für sie. Aber look at die drei hier. Look at das Dammage. Alles ist so close zusammen. Wir sehen, Complexity hat ein bisschen weniger Dammage als die anderen zwei Teams, Elevate und TSM, weil sie in Circle erst waren. Und das ist einfach was passiert, aber...

01:21:36 Ich glaube, sie machte es für sie mit Placement Points. Sie haben natürlich auch eine Shoutout zu Elevate. Ich denke, ihre Rotate war viel schwerer als Complexity. Und ich denke, sie haben sich in ein guter Platz gemacht und navigiert das End-Zone. Shoutout zu Zapf. Ich meine, wir sahen ihn auf den Horizon Lift, den Grav Lift und absoluten PING Imperial Howl auf der Topf der Bühne, die kinder schwung die ganze Komplexität der Kampf in ihrer Favour. Und dann in der 1v1 ist das, was du für, wenn du ein Apex-Spieler bist. Und das ist genau was sie in die Final Moments.

01:22:04 Yeah, absolutely. I also want to point out that EA did a great job of cleaning up Optic, who also, fantastic jump from game number one. I mean, they really improved their gameplay. It was unfortunate that they did have that fight with Elevate down below, but Elevate also came out on top, and they were doing really well. Yeah, I think Elevate winning that fight against Optic, yes, Optic have to make the play. They have to drop, but...

01:22:25 Sometimes it's very tempting to, you know, swing out yourselves. Oxygen was still alive at that point, I think. So you're worried about that line of sight and a couple of bullets swinging a fight away from you. Winning that fight against Optic was probably the key moment for them to picking up not only extra points and kills, but also some placements as well. But Complexity looking very, very strong. You can see the top of the leaderboards at the moment, 26 points for them.

01:22:49 Yeah, absolutely. That is great for them. And Flatt also with 21, which is great. TSM is 18, Dark Zero is 15, and LG is getting 8, and they are in 10th place right now. So it's going to be really interesting to see how match number 3 goes. I mean, we know that these teams are going to be really mad and want to come back and be able to get some of those points back, especially Dark Zero and LG. So I wonder, do you think that they're going to be a little bit more aggressive this time around?

01:23:17 Ich denke, Dog Zero wird die Dog Zero spielen. Ich denke, die Grund, dass sie nicht ein guter Spiel haben, wie bei der Red Stands war, ist es, dass sie nicht die Zone nicht gut sind. Es war ein schwerer Zone für alle zu readen. So, Dog Zero wird es gut. Ja, das End-Circle war einfach, aber es ist alles gut. Hopefully, mit dem nächsten Spiel werden wir eine bessere End-Circle haben. Aber real quick, wir werden eine Pause, und wenn wir wiederholfen, werden wir die nächsten Spiel bereitstellen.

01:25:31 Es ist gut zu sein, ihr Bunch und ihr, Dan. Es ist gut zu sein, alle. Ein bisschen break, aber es gibt uns ein bisschen Zeit für den nächsten Spiel. Der Grund, warum ich nicht ihr Beautiful ist, Dan, ist denn ihr besser als das. Ihr ist immer mehr Beautiful. Ich habe noch nicht gesagt, ich habe noch einen Wort. Ich habe noch nicht gesagt, ich habe noch einen Wort. Sie haben noch einen Wort für das in der Dictionary, um es zu definieren, was Dan Gaskin ist. Aber Game Nummer 3 ist jetzt gerade im Moment. Complexity-Taking Game 2, Dan. Und ich habe noch gesagt, Complexity hat sich sehr beeindruckt, nicht nur heute, in das Spiel, aber auch in das Spiel.

01:25:55 Ja, und ich denke, das ist eine spannende Zeit für die Komplexität. Ich meine, Monsoon hat alles durchgeführt, wir wissen das, und es ist immer gut zu sehen, dass die Komplexität auf den Risen ein bisschen weitergeht.

01:26:05 We want everyone to win, right? We want everyone to have success. Sadly, not everyone can have their success, and there is always going to be those stories of the struggles that some people go through. I'm talking in-game, by the way, and it's great to see Complexity finding a victory there, and hopefully they can use this now to propel themselves even more in this match week, because it's all well and good getting one, but you need to be consistent to continue being at the top of the leaderboards. You do indeed. Let's see if consistency is going to be the name of the game for the likes of Flat and Complexity, the winners of Game 1.

01:26:34 1 und 2. Ein bisschen mehr Start für Dark Zero. Ich denke, das Zone war ein bisschen rough für sie. Ich denke, es war ein bisschen rough für viele Leute, apart von Complexity zu werden, so wir werden sehen, wie sich das verändert. Aber ich möchte noch einmal zeigen, Oxygen. Ein weiterer Start für die ersten zwei Games hier auf Stormpoint.

01:26:51 Ja, und ich will ihnen credit für ihre Resilienz in der vorherigen Spiel, auch. Sie waren gebeten von der gesamten Lobby, und sie konnten sich in den letzten Städten zurückkehren, als wir zurückkommen zu den Wallen. Und es ist Round 3, 1-1. Fight! Hier geht's. Phase versus Tempo. Wie geht's es?

01:27:15 Faze listening is ready. Do you know what? Let's jump in. Let's see what the comms are like. I need one on you, one on you. Oh my god. I didn't get to do anything. My two weapons were a 30-30 with zero bullets and a charge rifle.

01:27:46 Phase Fatality. Fall again, Dan? Always a 50-50 with those listen-ins. Sad. We didn't get the right one, but you know that's just how the cookie crumbles. We go back, though, to Cenote Cave, where we had the previous 50-50 was happening. Skirt against Cream, and Cream are 2-0 up in this contest. Albreleli off the Revenant, and we've got Horizon back in the fray. We also have Bloodhound, too.

01:28:10 All right, you gonna do the boxing intro for this one as well? And I'll do the bell. Let's... No, you're not allowed to do that one. Uh, yeah, no, we don't even need to. Honestly, you have to pay someone to do that. Don't do that, don't do that. I think, yeah, literally you do. Uh, I don't even know if they're gonna fight yet. It looks like they are far enough away, but I said that last time and then Kareem kind of jumped on them. Whilst they think about fighting, we're going...

01:28:30 So we're going down towards Coastal. D&O Gaming will be okay. I'm looking at Ring consoles. Flat had one at Pylon. Ape had one as well. Oxygen got one. Oxygen are going to be in a good position to rotate. TSM have got one to work with as well, but they'll probably be moving in late. SSG have one over towards Devastated Coast and Launchpad. But finally, it looks like these two are going to be fighting. Let's... Never mind. Let's get ready to Apex. Yeah, here we go.

01:28:58 Ja, das funktioniert. Das hat sich die odds ein bisschen. Und Abrelloli hat sich noch nicht geholfen, so das ist die beste Chance der Skurt hat.

01:29:21 Ich glaube, es ist noch eine 2-3-2. Er hat eine Surprise-Faktor. Er hat einen Horizont, also ist er able, auf der Lüft auf den Ruf, so dass sie ein High-Ground zu arbeiten können. Aber können sie auch noch lange halten? Und können sie sich über eine Rez vorstellen? Natürlich, wenn man das Geräusch hört, muss man da sein. Aber sind sie da schnell genug? Ich glaube, es ist gut. Ich glaube, es ist gut. Ich glaube, es ist gut, dass sie jemanden aufbauen können. Ich glaube, es ist gut, dass sie jemanden aufbauen können. Ich glaube, es ist gut, dass sie jemanden aufbauen können. Ich glaube, es ist gut.

01:29:47 Roll a little grenade inside and they are going to get Awakening back to his feet. So this one isn't done yet. And it outweighs back to his feet, outpeens some damage. And now we're going to see the climb up coming in from Cream. And it's going to be the Revenant. And this is the problem. Of course, the passive allows you to climb a little bit higher, a little bit stronger. And it makes it very unpredictable. You can't watch this jump up as you would expect.

01:30:08 My favorite part of this is Optik drove right past this fight. They looked at it and said, nah, don't care. And they kept going. They're on to Barometer and they will continue on their rotation. Not worth taking the time here to get involved. The KP isn't going to be enough to stop them whilst this one is still elongated here as they just want to try and put these blue armors to their advantage.

01:30:33 Er ist alles auf zu Skurry. Er hat die Sentinels. Die Schöne müssen perfekt sein. Smog geht es um 126.

01:30:41 Es ist ein Valiant-Effort, hat es gesagt gesagt. Viel besser als die ersten zwei. Aber wir lernen von Emiah, dass wenn du zurück-to-back-to-back-to-back-Games mit 0-Points wirst du noch eine Chance, wenn du wieder auf einen anderen Map hast, wo du vielleicht nicht contestierst.

01:31:07 We'll still keep an eye out for Skrt, and maybe they can do what we saw earlier from Vamos Crer, as they were able to make the comeback of all comebacks. I'm pleased that you remember what they called again. I didn't say Vamos this time. No.

01:31:22 Blame Mikel Arteta for that one. Oxygen Sports, they do have that ring console. Like we mentioned, dropping over at Barometer. Old faithful, old POI, an old home. And what a difference it makes, right, in a game day. They look so much more confident. They've got into a great spot here as well, down at Coastal Camp. And I swear we've seen this zone about a thousand times in scrims, by the way, during the week.

01:31:40 Ja, wir sehen das oft, so die Spieler werden sehr bereit sein. Ja, sie sollen wissen, wo zu gehen, wo zu gehen, wo zu gehen. Und ich denke, das ist evident, von der Map-Overhead, wie viel Congestion da ist, nur noch von Coastal Camp ist, und die Positionen die Teams werden sich in finden. Dark Zero machen das Rotate, als auch. Monsoon, mit seinem Old Faithful, der Sentinel. Er wird das, ich bete du, any money. Told ya. Das ist aber nicht so, ich nehme es. Ja, smart. See, du kennst es besser. Ja.

Strategische Positionierung und Teamdynamiken in der ALGS Pro League

01:32:11

01:32:11 So Complexity are in a fine position at the moment, but they are taking up a lot of space, which does leave room for teams to potentially surprise them from behind. Dark Zero are still going to be making their move in. They're coming from the far south, by the way, and they're just going to be sneaking into this zone, potentially unaware to all those teams that have already found themselves on the southern tip.

01:32:32 You can see on this map overhead, there's a lot of them, right? There's a lot of teams that are in the south side over towards Coastal Camp or just slightly north of it. And Dark Zero are just going to squeeze themselves in behind everyone and try and find somewhere to play.

01:32:43 Ja, es ist ein guter Beispiel, wie TSM hat es angefangen, diese Zonen zu erreichen. Sie sehen die Rotate, sie haben durch Stormcatcher, sie haben Kraft in der Zeit. Sie sind jetzt über die Launchpad, wo ich bin sicher, dass sie Kraft in der Zeit sind. Also, ihre Armors werden zu werden, und sie haben viele Meds zu spielen, weil sie wissen, dass es ein wirklich schwerer Rotate für sie. Aber eine Sache, ich will sagen...

01:33:02 Ja, du musst du mit dem Gespräch mit dem Gespräch.

01:33:30 ...ein Land-Team, oder zumindest ein Champion, weil jeder will ein Winner sein, dann muss man sich in die Konversation, Spiel nach Spiel nach Spiel nach Spiel, um die Reifen zu sehen, um die Endgames zu sehen. Es ist alles gut und gut in Scrims, aber Competitiv Lobby ist sehr anders als Scrim Lobby.

01:33:46 Look at the amount of teams on that southern side. It's going to be fine for those teams arriving from the north, but then it's what happens afterwards. It's where that next circle goes. If it does keep pulling south, which everyone's banking on that, and that's what we've seen in scrims, then the teams arriving from the north are certainly going to struggle a little bit. I wonder if LG are just trying to play for third zone info here over at Echo HQ. They were there for quite some time, maybe watching their back.

01:34:11 Vielleicht haben sie auf den Weg geblieben, weil TSM jetzt machen ihre Bewegung, hinter dem LG. Und sie landen sicherlich, ohne zu nehmen. Jetzt können sie sich um, um ein bisschen zu tun. Imperial Haube hat keine Sight auf dem Hemlock, aber die Hemlock selber ist genug, um viele Teams zu schützen. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ich meine, du wirst wirklich nicht gegen den 1-V-1 gehen. LG vs. TSM ist ein Kampf, das ich nachdem, nachdem, nachdem.

01:34:38 Aber es sieht nicht aus wie es passiert. In der Fall ist es passiert. ELEVATING vs NATIVE. Die beiden haben für die letzten drei Spiele auf Stormpoint gewonnen, weil sie sehr unterschiedlich sind und unterschiedlich sind. Aber NATIVE haben die bessere von ihnen jetzt.

01:34:52 They do, Shubi going down, and that's going to turn the numbers in their favor at least. They rotate in to take the bottom side of this building. They have a white armor swap at the bottom of it as well, but they want more than this. 105 is going to be pretty good as Mamba will take down Zach Mazur, and even though it's been a great start for EA, this might look like a game where they don't come out of it with too much.

01:35:10 Ich meine, sie hat gut gemacht, um zu überleben und zu überleben. Ich liebe dieses Spot, bei der wei. Das ist die Laws des Gravity, wie immer. Es ist Horizon. Es ist Horizon, ja.

01:35:23 The native, it doesn't look like they're going to be too desperate to look for that final player. Instead, it's about looting up. They hold the northern side, and this is what we're talking about, right? Arriving from north, you're going to be fine for the time being. You can win those engagements, you can dominate that northern side, but then as you get closer to the southern POI is when you're going to start to really see those struggles. So you need to have a game plan. I mean, evac towers, we have seen zones like this where people just evac tower in and find playable space, but because of the amount of ring consoles that were available to the southern teams here, I don't think that's going to be as easy as perhaps it has been.

Kämpfe um Positionen und Strategien in späten Zonen

01:35:52

01:35:52 Oh, LG findet die Komplexität da. Und jetzt müssen sie wieder zurückkehren.

01:36:13 Sie sind sehr gut zu halten, mit den Einschränkungen zu halten. Sie werden die Teams verletzten, so LG ist für einen anderen Weg, und Sweetie ist ein bisschen ein bisschen scouting. Aber es ist ein Team auf dem, und Slay hat sich so gehalten. Ich bin wirklich gehalten hier, weil wenn du geholfen hast, es einfach öffnet.

01:36:28 Es ist ein freshes Wettbewerb für jemanden zu kommen und gehen Sie und einfach nur einen Position ab und gehen Sie ein bisschen von 3-K-P. Es ist Sweet so gut, um es zu verabschieden. L.G. ist einfach zu versuchen. Wir haben bereits einen Ratt-Attent von Sweet heute gesehen, wenn er in den Top 5 hat. Er wird also ein Masterclass von Ratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-Wratt-

01:36:54 Okay, he's doing it all. Yeah, I'm good. Oh parkour, sorry. You cut out a little bit. I thought you said he's doing full pog and I was like, what was the follow up here? But yeah, full parkour and really is surviving. I'm too old to say things like that these days. Yeah, you are. Yeah. Yeah, let's be real.

01:37:08 Yes, indeed, but Circle Lee is going to...

01:37:33 Keep pulling south, by the way. As expected, anyone who was hoping for maybe a northern shift to try and get out of what is going to be an incredible endgame with the amount of teams that are here are going to be bitterly disappointed at the obvious circle pull. So Dark Zero, you know, they're in it. They're in a pretty good spot here, actually. They've got some high ground to work with, plenty of cover if they want to use it. They just need to be worried about the northern teams arriving and potentially desperating a push onto them.

01:38:00 I mean, one thing they did really well, Dark Zero, was force LG away and into all of the Crossfire that you saw from other teams. And now they've claimed all this space themselves. It's one thing that I love that Dark Zero do. They're never afraid to, like, fully send two players in to try and get a knock just to force teams away. Something they do really well to command space around them. Slayer is still alive for LG. Unfortunately, though, Zap is dead now for EA. That will be the end of their game. The solo player wasn't able to do it. And look, Native found him eventually.

01:38:26 Ja, sie warten, sie waren, sie waren nicht bereit, keine Banners zu werden, sie wollten das extra etwas von KP zu bekommen. By the way, 17 Squats, als Zone 3 ist zu Ende, das ist das Kind der Lobby, wir sehen uns in Nordamerika zu sehen, aber die 17 vielleicht sogar ein paar, als diese Zone closes, denn wir haben vier, fünf Teams, die sind außerhalb dieser Zone, und wir haben ein paar Gatekeepers, Eternal und Oblivion sind sicherlich in der Lobby, und auch TSM-Mitglied zu sein, aber...

01:38:56 Native gatekeeping out in the distance as well. They're stopping GKS from even being able to approach. They said, look, if we're going to be gatekept when we approach, we can't have anyone following us. Otherwise, we have no chance in this fight. Slayer did four, so LG have been eliminated. Not a great start for them here on Stormpoint after some very impressive performances in previous game days. But Akrabe is going to help Native on their way forward, you would imagine. But now things are starting to get...

01:39:20 A little bit ugly, a little bit... I mentioned the... I'm gonna use the subway, maybe as a better example, because obviously we're in North America. But let me tell you, the tube, which is the equivalent in London, in rush hour, this is what it feels like. It is too sweaty, it's too close, and everybody at some point is going to break.

01:39:36 Ja, es ist einfach so jam-packt. Es gibt keinen Raum zu denken, sondern zu breathieren an dieser Stelle. Und es geht darum zu IGLs zu machen, die schnell, fast-paceden Entscheidungen zu machen, aber auch alle zu denken für sich in diesen Engagements, weil Sie müssen die Dämmung haben. Speaking of, Leute zu kämpfen jetzt. Tempura haben nur noch einen. GKS geht um diese Dämmung. Die Dämmung ist von der ARG-Star. Tempura wird in der meantime geblieben, so GKS wird sicher sein, als sie auf der Weg zur Zone gehen.

01:40:05 Ich werde die Konjur Q-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A

01:40:33 Ich glaube, es ist ein Kp-heavy Spiel für sie, und es ist ein Kp-heavy.

01:41:01 The amount of teams that are already located in and around where this zone is going to be ending Oxygen, by the way. Just to give you an idea of who is in a great position for the endgame. They are that team at the moment. The Barometer Ring Console gave them that info early and they have played off the back of it superbly. GKS now make their rotation as well. Naughty does have the wall available on the Catalyst to get down if they do take some crossfire here from TSM. So they do have a rotate option and they've managed to just sneak up that hill.

01:41:27 This is smart play from both Complexity and TSM right now, because they know there's not going to be too much playable space actually in the zone, so they are just holding out the teams where they can potentially pick up some points and maybe get into the top 10. That's kind of what you're thinking about right now, is first and foremost is getting into the top 10, getting extra placement points, and the KP. Then once you've defeated those teams, you start to think about the bigger picture. How do we actually win this game? How do we get in?

01:41:51 As für Optik und Native, es ist ein ähnliches, aber es ist auf der southwestern Seite, als Optik wird jetzt noch pressen. Ja, das ist ziemlich isoliert für diese Zeit in der Lobby, zu ehrlich mit Ihnen, für Optik Gaming. Und sie haben ein paar Initial Damage bekommen, also sie versuchen zu versuchen, aber Native haben bereits gezeigt, dass sie keine Pushover in diesen 3v3s haben. Und das Thermite, das wird verändern! Das ist zinging! Und es wird aufgetrennt, und es wird aufgetrennt!

01:42:21 Und es wurde isoliert, aber jetzt die Team schon in die Zone haben angefangen, mit der Gunfire zu hören. Die Likes von Dark Zero sind auch Pressuring, als Optik wird, und Native könnte sein, wenn sie nicht beherrscht, aber sie werden nicht beherrscht. Nein, Dark Zero will nicht. Dark Zero wird in die Position auswählen, um die extra K.P.

01:42:46 Monsoon überlooking this as well as his teammates on Complexity to see if they can pick up a few of these pieces. Somehow TSM have worked their way into Zone as well. One team up on the extreme height here is going to be DNO as well. And TSM are probably thinking, what's our next play? How do we try and get forward? Because look how far they have to go in comparison to everyone else. They'll have to go through the likes of Complexity, Dark Zero potentially here if they want to get into Zone. Speaking of DZ, Gembutton's just got another knock for them.

Entscheidende Momente und Team-Eliminierungen im finalen Zirkel

01:43:12

01:43:12 Is that on to Eternal? If it's on to Eternal, that will give them the chance to potentially push up and take one of the better positions, and that's what Dark Zero want to try and do, is force the agenda, force themselves into this zone a little bit. As you can see, there's not just Eternal that are there, Oxygen also in the area. Dark Zero doing very well to at least deal that damage, and Carter, I'm sorry, but it might be the end for you shortly. The only thing that could save them...

01:43:36 Is Oxygen. Oxygen are above and could pressure Dark Zero here and stop them pushing. And they do so.

01:43:42 They want to double swing this. They know it's free KP. Zero can do it. Use a Kraber shot here. Do I force this team back? Now they force the team back with the damage. Now the swing is going to come in. Easy KP for Dark Zero. They take it down Eternal and they take a spot right in the center of zone as well. The question for DZ is, composition-wise, I'm pretty sure they're not playing Horizon. So they're not going to be able to jump up to that high ground very easily. They might have to work their way back around, but the Kraber might create an opening for them. Yeah, how do they stop themselves being grief from oxygen from above?

01:44:12 Das ist die große Frage. Aber sie können auch wissen, dass Oxygen eine der besseren Positionen sind. Und sie werden auch noch ein paar Teams geöffnet werden, sehr schnell, als die Circle closes. Natürlich, Bangalore Smokes werden eine sehr große Rolle spielen, wie sie immer. Nun, look at how viele Squads werden auf den Norden sein, als alle starten zu versuchen, TSM jetzt in die Chance zu machen. Sie haben Complexity Solo zu ihren Backen und Flat in den Fronten.

01:44:35 Oxygen control, the center of zone, though. TSM have lost reps. Al's trying to work forward now with Verhulz, but they're under so much fire. If they can sneak their way into the top ten or the top nine, that would be a win for them. But unfortunately, Verhulz looks like he's about to go down as well, but gets the shield swap just to keep himself alive for a few seconds longer. And now he's kind of tiptoeing around all sorts of problems on the floor. You've got Ultimates coming down from...

01:44:59 All sorts of angles, and he wasn't able to do so. He will be eliminated, TSM will fall, Complexity is still alive, and so will GKS. Oxygen as well, still just holding prime position, or one of the prime positions, should I say. Plenty of high ground to work with, and they're joining in on a lot of these fights, but there is...

01:45:15 So many squads. This is the most squads we've had in the Final Circle so far today. Nine squads remain. It's going to be eight very shortly, though, as D&O, Dark Zero start to pressure some of those squads who have arrived late. Monsoon's still alive for Complexity as a solo. Maybe we'll get spotted out soon. Yes, he does get spotted out, and it's going to be the end for Complexity. They are eliminated, and we're down to eight squads.

01:45:35 Okay, okay, okay.

01:46:04 Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja,

Finales Duell und Analyse der Spielergebnisse

01:46:28

01:46:28 Ami, Ami, Solo-Bing! Fight him, fight him!

01:46:43 Ja, ja, ja.

01:47:13 Das ist ein 2v2 hier jetzt, SSG vs. Oxygen! SSG vs. Oxygen, aber SSG werden die in die Zone gehen. Es ist einfach als das. Sie haben die Horizonen nicht mehr, und die Duo-Stand-Tallest, Oxygen! Die Change-Superometer haben funktioniert, und sie werden die Final-Game hier auf Stormpoint gewinnen.

01:47:41 Ja, ich denke, dass SSG wahrscheinlich sehen, dass sie eine Gruppe, die andere Teams nicht in der Lobby sind.

01:48:10 We have an opportunity to get an extra KP. Guarantee ourselves second place. We're going to take that. Even though Oxygen were a duo themselves, they didn't have that information. They wouldn't have seen that kill fee before the chaos that's going down in those final moments. So SSG making a decision you can understand to try and not win that game and to cause some extra points. But Oxygen, man, how crazy is it, right? To just change your POI where you drop and all of a sudden everything looks like the Oxygen of old.

01:48:34 Ja, und ihr wisst, es kann eine von zwei Fähigkeiten sein. Die Zones können nicht auswählen, und dann werden Sie sagen, okay, wir sollten nicht aufwählen. Aber ich denke, POIs und sicher, dass Sie nicht...

01:48:44 ...having contests happening. I mean, I know that Oxygen went through contests during scrims, etc. You've just got to get away from them. You've got to make sure you find a POI that is comfortable for you, a rotation that suits your playstyle a little bit more. Let's take a look at the results and see just how everything looked, though, because Oxygen, they took first, and they got seven kills. 19 points for them. SSG pick up 12 in the end. D&O also with seven kills, so they get 12 points. And then Dark Zero, they may have finished in seventh, but nine kills for them keeps them at a very healthy points total.

01:49:13 Yeah, Dark Zero just always find a way to guarantee points, right? It's very rare you'll see a Dark Zero kind of two-point game or something like that. They're always gonna win a teamfight or two on their way forward. And I gotta say, SSG have looked pretty impressive so far today as well, like you rightly pointed out. TSM, again, involved, I would say, towards the endgame, but a very tough rotate for them to even get into that top 10. They've picked up 3KP along their way to that top 10 finish. But at the other end, Optic again, a little bit quiet. FaZe losing that contest once more, which is really...

01:49:42 Ja, eh? Ja, kein Spiel für einige, aber ich denke, für LG in particular, die expectation war, nach einem großen Start, oder eine fantastische Start für sie hier in Pro-League. Und, you know, es wird immer wieder ums und ums, und ich glaube, dass sie nicht sehr disheartene sind. Es gibt noch zwei Matches für sie zu machen, in dieser A- und B-Lobby. Aber ist es genug, um eine Chance zu nehmen? Unlikely, aber ich habe gesehen, dass sie Dinge passieren können.

01:50:13 But it's all set up beautifully now for us to keep this thing rolling down. I think Stormpoint has been a little bit, I would say, unpredictable with how some of the zones have pulled. It's the first time I've seen some of those zones in quite some time. We have seen the one that we saw in the last game. But game number two was the one that really stood out to me. The complexity win where they managed to close out that final moment. Because that zone pull is kind of, I think, indicative of what we've seen a lot this season, right? It's the surprise factor. Everyone's like, oh, we've played this in scrims. This is where this goes. And it's like, ah.

01:50:42 Pro League is a little bit different and we'll have to see if that is going to continue as we head back to World's Edge. But we'll bring Stella back into the conversation as we give ourselves a little bit of time to recover from what we've seen. Stella, how are you feeling?

01:50:54 I'm good. It has been a great day of Apex matches. I mean, it has been really good to see these teams that we did speak about needing to step up their game actually step up their game because, like you said, a lot of the RNG has pulled in their favor, especially with DNO Gaming. I mean, they were in Coastal Camp and Oxygen Esports. They really didn't have to move too much. Everyone had to come to them. That makes fights a lot easier. And I want to say Oxygen did a great job of just communicating. Their calms were extremely clear and even calm when I probably would have been losing my mind.

01:51:23 So, obviously, the teams are bringing their A-games, and it's really, really good to see them just working together and being a fluid unit, Gaskin. Yeah, I think that every team should be proud of themselves with how they performed so far. Those who are in the top half of the leaderboard, of course. Then in the bottom half of the leaderboard, that's where people are starting to scratch their heads a little bit, saying, all right, well, if we're in the bottom half of the leaderboard of this lobby, and we're also in the kind of lower trend of the overall standings...

01:51:50 What can we do in World's Edge to really change things? Maybe World's Edge is a better map for some of those teams, but this is crunch time. We mentioned it right at the start. We're getting to the point now where if you fall too far behind, you're leaving yourself with little room and little time to try and come back into things.

01:52:05 Absolutely. I think FaZe is probably one of those teams that is victim to that, and I do hope that World's Edge is a little bit better for them because they've lost two out of three of their contests today, and it is a rough mental image going forward for them, I'm sure. But to help us break things down and look at what teams can be doing better, we have a very special guest, Church, visiting us, and we are going to be able to get an interview with her. Hello. Hello, hello. It's a pleasure to be back.

01:52:33 Yes, so now it is my understanding that you're the first Black female caster for the North American Challengers circuit. Is this right? Yes, that is.

01:52:44 That's amazing. I feel like Apex is such a good game and esports for championing diversity, especially with their incredible roster of legends. And your title actually made me realize I'm the first female South Korean caster and host for ALGS. So I'm really happy to be speaking with you today. That's incredible, yes. The title of being the first of hopefully many to come is definitely...

01:53:13 Das ist etwas, was ich mich an. Und auch immer, dass es nicht nur über mich geht. Es geht weiter. Es geht weiter. Es geht um die nitty-gritty. Es braucht mehr. Und ich denke, APEX hat einen Phänomenal-Job aus dem Zusammenhang mit der Diversität, wenn es der Game oder der Talent ist.

01:53:33 I want to jump in here and just ask a quick question before we start looking at the zones and everything that you've been watching today, Church. And I wanted to get who you had your eyes on before we saw the games today. Because I know it would be very easy for you to say the three teams that have won so far. But who are you watching coming into today and saying, hey, I've got my eyes on these as a team to potentially watch? Listen, Rambo is a good friend of mine and I always want to see him succeed. So I was definitely looking forward to...

01:54:00 Finding out if Native really puts the pieces together. I think they played definitely better today than they have previously. I think that things are starting to piece together. And whenever they have come up against somebody, they have played very well.

01:54:17 I would say Skirt definitely threw me for a curveball there. I did anticipate them playing better today in this series against Cream.

01:54:46 However, I think some of their choices have been a little bit questionable and I'm hoping to see them do a little bit better and performance wise going towards World's Edge.

01:54:56 Yeah, well said. Now, you did such a great job of this in EMEA, so we're going to have you do this again. Can you break down the action in the final circles of the last three games we just did? It would be my absolute pleasure. So going into match one, we did have a devastated coast end zone. It was on the outskirts. However, we did have teams like Oxygen, Dark Zero, SSG, and GGAK Flat.

01:55:22 Ich weiß nicht, dass SSG in der Rückseite war, aber ich weiß nicht, ob sie sich in der Rückseite gesehen hat. Und sie kam zu finden, sehr schnell, wie sie in der Rückseite waren. Und ich habe zu sagen, kudos zu Flatt für ihre Zeit in der Rückseite. Sie sehen hier, dass sie das wide-angere, sie reagieren können, die Kommunikation war klar. Die Kommunikation war da.

01:55:49 Sie haben jemanden holden sie zurück, und als die Zonen creeps in, als SSG ist erinnert, sie starten zu erkennen, die Entwicklung der Fall ist, und sie nehmen Hecht, sie nehmen weiterer Platz, sie spielen großartig, sie spielen klein. Sie haben die Killeiter auf der Seite, also sie sind schon fühlen, und sie starten zu klatschen es hier. Sie sehen Flatt nehmen diese Angeln von der Heavens-Abkommen. Sie bekommen great shots mit der 30-30, und Oxygen ist einfach mit wirklich keine Option da.

01:56:24 Now going into match two, this zone pull had me absolutely bamboozled, to say the least. TSM did a phenomenal job of clearing out Jurassic, taking out teams in their way such as Flat and taking space on the Height. Pal here does take a different perspective, which I really enjoyed. However, it seems that it did end up biting them later on because EA did take that Q up, trying to get Height over that Dark Veil.

01:56:52 Und Zap hat seine Schmerzen. Ich meine, ich kann nicht sagen, dass er eine großartige Wingmann hat. Aber ich weiß, dass er die Wingmann hat, aber es scheint, dass er mit Zap kommt, mit Zap kommt von der Heavensabühe. Absolutно verbunden, mit jedem Schmerzen, auf Hau, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall, auf jeden Fall.

01:57:16 As we knew, Complexity was sitting, taking their time, allowing E8 to collect the Infinity Stones for Complexity to end up grabbing the Gauntlet, ultimately.

01:57:31 And then in Match 3, another South Zone going over towards Coastal Camp, which was DNO's home. It seems that Oxygen decided to take up space. You know, they said, the rent's due. It's time for us to move in. And they did a great job of that. Ended up taking up so much space that it pressured other teams to fight each other earlier on.

01:57:54 Deno goes out just like that to Oxygen. They are able to get armor swaps. And unfortunately, SSG falls down low without any option to come back up. And I mean, a celebration for some, but definitely a celebration for Oxygen as they take the win effortlessly there with no hope for SSG, unfortunately, falling down to the low ground to get that KP.

01:58:19 Yeah, that last one is such an unfortunate positioning, but thank you so much for breaking down the action. You are a god. You are amazing. Now we're going to look at the results here. And is this kind of what you expected to come out of today?

01:58:32 I have to say LG's performance definitely was not what I had expected going into Stormpoint with their success rate thus far being above 50% and dropping gaming as well. With them being severely higher than most on Stormpoint, them being in 10th, of course, isn't the biggest issue going into World's Edge. However, the outcome was not what I anticipated going into the first three matches.

01:58:57 Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so with these end circles that you were describing for us, I do kind of want to talk about legend pick rates for North America. I think it's really interesting because these end circles get so chaotic and we did see reps unable to move forward because of the conduit alt that was just laying there. So do you think in Season 20 that we're going to see a change in just, I don't know, a nice little meta change up for the legends so that maybe the end circles aren't so chaotic?

01:59:25 It's funny that you mention that. One hope that I definitely have for Season 20 going forward is a reason for people to choose a different legend, a reason for the meta to consistently adapt to the gameplay, a reason for there not to be a hard stuck meta, a hard reason of why you have to pick so and so. You have other options now, more dynamic choices.

01:59:52 and different compositions coming from all different angles. I'm really hopeful that in Season 20 we have something that changes it up a bit.

02:00:01 Ja, ich will sehen mehr Ballistik, ich will sehen Mirage, wir gehen! Vielen Dank so viel für uns, Church! Ja! Oh, danke dir so viel für Having me! All right, bye! I got you! All right, well, thank you for that! Hashtag is out there! I know, I know, and I'm trying not to make that hashtag a thing, because that is terrifying, but...

02:00:27 Unfortunately, I have to give you all the range, so don't get too unhinged without me. You have to give us the range, which means I can talk about how Pathfinder needs leg cannons moving forward in Season 20. Is this going to be a lot of fun? No, no.

02:00:39 Absolutely not. All right, well, you're leading us to the next game, so please go ahead and please don't talk about Pathfinder's leg cannons, because that's... Okay, fair enough. All right, let's get into the games and let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's get into World's Edge and let's talk about how Pathfinder, these leg cannons, everybody. Let him finish his story, everyone. Let me, let me, let him finish his story. That's what the hashtag was all about, everybody. It was about Pathfinder getting leg cannons. Anyway, if you don't want to know what I'm on about, or you don't want to know what I'm on about, which might be another option.

02:01:08 Go back and watch the EMEA broadcast. Let's talk about World's Edge though, Dan. Let's turn our attention away from nonsense and my brain and how it works because it's a terrifying place. Back to Apex Legends that we're seeing right now because it's still very much an open lobby, I would say. Some of the big hitters haven't had some zones that have kind of gone their way, I would say. And it's been more of a rise to the top of some of the teams we were hoping and expecting might show a bit of form this week.

02:01:31 Ja, und, aber, wenn man über die Welt's Edge geht, es gibt andere Teams, die wir vielleicht hatten, haben wir noch nicht gehalten. Wir sahen es in EMEA, ein Team, die 0 Punkte auf Stormpoint wurde, dann wurde er, wurde eine Chance, wurde in 3rd place auf Welt's Edge und sich in den Top 6 gehalten. So, Teams, die fantastisch sind in Welt's Edge sind, Dark Zero, die beste Welt's Edge team wir haben in Nordamerika, based auf die Punkte sie haben. LG, die 3rd best Team wir haben in Nordamerika.

02:02:00 Und Complexity ist eigentlich in 5th, wenn wir die Welt's Edge sehen. So, das sind die drei squads, die wir uns beenden zu sehen, um die großen Punkte zu holen. Und wir müssen auch nachdenken, was in A und B passiert. Wir haben ein paar Teams verletzten in den ersten Städten, aber dann verletzten sie es ab. Dark Zero, sie haben ihre erste Victory letzte Mal, wenn es zu Welt's Edge ging. So, wir werden Teams haben eine Preference hier. Wir wissen, dass bestimmte Contests passieren wird auf Stormpoint. Das wird nicht auf Welt's Edge passieren.

02:02:30 I think if you're FaZe as well, you have to take a little bit of...

02:02:35 Ich glaube, es war ein bisschen inspirierter von Vamoquerer. In EMEA, sie haben alle Contest auf Stormpoint gewonnen. Dann haben sie über die Welt's Edge gewonnen. Und sie haben sich in den Top 7 oder 8 gewonnen. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie sich nicht auf den Top 7 oder 8 gewonnen haben. Sieg. Sieg? Wow, ich bin unter-Selling, was sie geschafft haben. So, das Turnaround kann natürlich passieren, als wir sehen uns die Dropspots für die Teams, die wir erwarten. Skirt und Oblivion. Skirt haben eine rough Zeit auf den Contest gewonnen. Wir sehen uns, dass sie jeden Tag gewonnen haben.

02:03:04 Die Frage ist, ob Überlook ein bisschen ein bisschen ein Coat-of-Pain für ihre Success so far ist, ob sie vielleicht auch ein KP finden, das contestieren und in die Spiel?

02:03:15 The good news is FaZe aren't contested at Geyser. Remember, last time we saw A and B, they were contested on both, and they really weren't having a great time. But now they at least have Geyser to themselves, or so we think. I guess we will be confirming that as we get a little bit further into this game, and once we see the players dropping out of said dropship. But I'm excited to see whether, you know, anyone is going to surprise us. Is anyone going to show up? For example, E8 were able to pick up a top three last time on World's Edge, even though we've not really seen them in L...

02:03:45 ...elemente sich in eine Top-Position auf Stormpoint.

02:04:12 Ich hoffe, dass das zwei Team eine gewisse Wunsch werden, und tatsächlich in die Spiel zu zeigen, dass sie ein paar Wunsch geben können. Ja, ich weiß nicht, ob die initialen Revenant pick von Abreleli war, weil sie gewonnen hat und sie wollten, dass sie ein Revenant haben, dass sie eine gewisse Wunsch machen wollen, um das Spiel zu gehen, dass die Ultimates in die Equation geht. Also, es war nicht wirklich gut.

02:04:35 Schürt in the end, but perhaps they get more of a chance to play Apex Legends here on World's Edge, because the dropship is flying through the sky, the players are hurtling towards their POIs, and it's time to start match number four. Little note just at the start of this game, unfortunately for Flat and Flat fans around the world, which I'm sure there are many of, two players have unfortunately had a power outage, so they're going to be playing this one as a solo, so shoutouts to Flat and whoever the solo is going to be, give them a little bit of extra juice, maybe they can land on a Kraber, who knows, to see if they can...

02:05:05 We'll find some points in this game but...

02:05:06 Unfortunately, that's what happens in life, isn't it? It's just some things we can't control, everybody, and losing power is going to be one of those. Yeah, shame, considering they've put on some really good points, but it's just one of those things, and maybe, who knows, they pick up a point here or there. Now, Cream, not going to be in a contest, as they were on Stormpoint. They are going to be kind of sharing Skyhook with Dark Zero a little bit, but Dark Zero, as we know, they split themselves between Trials and Skyhook, so as long as they don't spread themselves too thin and make themselves vulnerable to Cream,

02:05:36 Then they should be okay. Right, circle wise, heading towards Survey Camp on set. Survey Camp indeed. And if you are a Complexity fan or if you've watched Apex Legends for long enough, you should know by now that Complexity are landing right there. And that is going to be great news for them. They've got a little bit of time to loot up as well, as there's nobody who's making too quick a rotation to speak of. So they should be able to get all of the loot that they need on the loot path to really give themselves an opportunity. But also the one thing I think for Complexity is...

02:06:04 Do they have a ring console that they can hit before they have to move? I'm pretty sure that they will play the northern side of this just because of how the zone is anyway. So they should be in a good position for endgame regardless of the fact they don't have a ring console. Yeah, it is one of those circles where I think you can kind of...

02:06:20 I guess it's going to be pulling north, but SSG are in the same position. SSG only have a Survey Beacon, from what I can see. No Ring Console, so they're going to have to kind of play the guessing game as well. Tempo were able to get Ring Console information, so they're moving. The same can be said for Native. As for Complexity, if they look to the skies and start seeing people arrive, then I think they'll get a good idea of where this circle is going to be going anyway. Faze have a Ring Console down towards Geyser, so they're going to be able to move relatively quickly. I imagine they will take the eastern side.

02:06:49 Probably go just past Overlook and then try and hit the northeast. But Native have found themselves in the building very quickly here. But they have moved and they have not brought much loot with them. Three white armors. How do you feel about that one? I feel that they're going to have to get some damage done if they want to have any kind of success in this game. Unless the composition is going to allow them to barricade themselves inside of a building for the long game. Elsewhere you can see the Oblivion and a little bit of a, maybe an issue for a few seconds here.

02:07:16 95%

02:07:38 Pickrate, by the way, for Bangalore. 19 of our teams have Bangalore in this lobby. Very much dominates the meta at the moment. Also, three Lobas. Three people playing Loba, potentially for the support abilities. Of course, you can craft Banner with Lobo, or anyone from the team can craft Banner if you have a Lobo, but also the ability to...

02:07:59 Get that Black Market down, get any extra loot in the late game, or in the early game, whenever you want to use it. So, interesting to see which Loba teams we have, and maybe we'll see them as we go through. Is Dark Zero gonna be making their way to the northern side from Skyhook, and they're gonna be going through Tunnel? They could potentially be the first team that Complexity has to deal with here.

02:08:18 So I'm going to be able to hit the support bin as well to get a little bit more out of it. And I'll tell you what, that is always a good thing to find. The 2-4 for that 30-30 repeated just gives you maximum range on that weapon to chip away at some shields and make sure that you're in a position to level the Evos up, as we all know is the name of the game for a lot of these squads, especially if they can get an early good spot. Speaking of which, SSG might think they've got a pretty good spot, as they're hoping.

02:08:42 Das ist ein Problem für sie, aber das Problem ist, dass sie nicht eine Ring-Konsole haben, die sie für heute haben. Also, sie werden ein bisschen... ...hobbing, soll ich sagen, dass sie in eine Position, wo die Zone ist, aber sie werden vielleicht ein bisschen an Unfortunate-Surprise, als Team Cream. Weil LG, obwohl wir Sweet go down haben, wird gewinnen und gewinnen, und jetzt in Survey.

02:09:02 Ja, das sollte man wiederholen. Es sieht nicht aus, dass niemand auf sie geht. So sie sind absolut gut. Look at die White Armour. Ich meine, even Blues, auch. All diese Teams haben so schnell gedreht. Denn, wenn man nicht eine Ring-Console hat, ist das Cirkel eine der größten Werteilung, mit den Norden-Tippen zu halten. So viele Teams haben schnell gedreht. Wir sahen in den Match 3, wir hatten 18 Teams left, um in Zone 3 zu sein.

02:09:26 Ja, Fayser down to just 2 as well, and Snidedown and Panda's having to back right up there as Zero Tricky will be going down. Interesting to see what their next play is going to be. I'm trying to look around and see if there is any way that they might be able to...

02:09:55 Ich habe mich ehrlich gesagt, es sieht nicht wie viele Optionen für sie sind, also wenn sie das machen wollen, werden sie einen langen Weg aus der Zone gehen, um sie zu versuchen, ihre Team-Mate zurück zu bringen. Team Skott wird in die Möglichkeit sein, die gut ist für sie. Wir werden von der Revenant auf den Revenent bewegen, um die Horizonten zu sehen, so wir haben zu verabschieden, aber wir müssen sie spielen, um sie zu sehen, so wir können das Ganze zeigen.

02:10:24 Ja, ich glaube, es war World's Edge letzte Mal, wo wir Skirt bekommen einen Top-3 zu geben, um sie ein paar Punkte zu geben. Das Gleiche kann man sagen für Phaze. Ich glaube, Phaze hat einen zweiten Platz auf World's Edge gemacht, so beide Teams, die ein bisschen in ihren Kontext haben, haben jetzt die Möglichkeit, um Apex Legends zu spielen. Ich meine, ja, Phaze haben einen gewonnen, aber sie werden noch nicht sein können.

02:10:44 Ich hoffe, dass sie das Banner wiedersehen können. Wir werden sehen. Alright, Zone ist um zu close. All die Teams, die nicht haben Ring-Console Informationen haben, sind um es zu bekommen. Und dann können sie versuchen, ihre moves zu machen.

02:10:56 4, 5, 6 Teams outside of the circle. So GKS and Oxygen potentially could fight here. Skirt are going to be right next to them. So no one really wants to start that fight at the moment if they're aware of the other teams being in the area. And Skirt might just go on their merry way and decide to leave that one. Personally, I would do that. I would get away from that. There's no point. You can rotate ahead of them and you can try and get a better spot.

02:11:18 Look at who is in a good position you might notice right in the northern side of the zone is gonna be dark zero we saw they rotate a little bit earlier on complexity no surprise to see they're in a pretty good spot as well as TSM decide it's time for us to try and take a little bit of space on the map and get across it towards where this zone is going to be even tower goes down they want to try and play for the high ground in and around

02:11:40 Ich denke, es geht um den Monument. Ich denke, es geht um den Monument. Aber ich denke, es geht um den Monument. Aber ich denke, es geht um den Monument.

02:12:06 Ja, das ist das TSM sehr gut, und sie sind sehr erfolgreich und haben heute gemacht. In 6th place in der Moment, wir sahen ein paar Nord-South-Rotates an Stormpoint, wo es sehr ähnlich war, wo sie zu verabschieden, adaptieren, wo das Zone war, und es war gut für sie. Wir bekommen unseren ersten Korstik in der Lobby. Wir sahen das auch in EMEA, wir sahen eine Korstik, und es war sehr erfolgreich, so wir werden sehen, ob DNO kann das gleiche successchen finden. Shout-out to Cybercats.

02:12:35 Team over in Ymir, who did do some good work today with Caustic in their composition. Proved that it is still viable. I believe he's now playing the bridge position here just to the south of Climatizer. FaZe, I believe, have managed to get back to a full three here. So they collected that banner and they were able to get a respawn and get Zero Tricky back in. So FaZe...

02:12:57 sind vielleicht in eine Position, wo sie sich in die Oblivion beherrschen. DNO Gaming ist noch immer wieder in der Rotation, als wir den Height beherrschen, nach dem Height beherrschen. Das ist die Temperatur auf der Brücke. Das sind alle die Teams, die sich in den Momenten zu tun. Sie sehen sich in den Hintergrund für ein paar Minuten, als TSM weitergeht. Die Height ist immer ein guter Platz zu spielen, aber es wird ein bisschen zu spielen, als TSM geht es ein bisschen zu spielen, als TSM geht es ein bisschen zu spielen.

02:13:24 Just to touch on Caustic, again, obviously, being a Controller Legend, you do get the Ring Console information through Caustic, so a very viable pick, without only being four Legends who can scan Ring Consoles. They are all so vital to any composition, but especially on World's Edge, where it can be a very building-heavy Final Circle, or at least a building-heavy built-up area, the Caustic can really play a factor in those late games, so I'm not surprised that we're seeing a couple start to creep through.

02:13:51 Und es kann wirklich eine Rolle in den Late-Games werden. Wir werden sehen, ob es hier in Nordamerika ist, wie es in EMEA ist. Als Zone 2 ist begonnen, viele Teams haben sich in einem Ort zu finden. Es ist nur Oxygen und Optik, die nicht in die Circle sind. Ich kann es gar nicht sagen, dass es... Oh, wait. Hat das geteilt von der Package geteilt? Bei einem Loba-Team in der Vecinity?

02:14:16 Ja, ich bin sicher, Rebsis hat ihn geholfen, um den Kare Package zu holen zu holen, und es war nichts. Wir haben drei Lovers. Aber wer weiß.

02:14:25 Ich habe mich zurück auf den VOD zu sehen, aber es war nichts in da. Ich weiß nicht, ob er vielleicht einfach nur die letzten pieces hat, oder vielleicht jemand hatte es ein bisschen zu collectiert. Aber es war als ob er es sich als ob er ein Weapon war, um ihn zu picken. Optik Gaming, um ihren Weg durch Monument zu machen. Sie sind jetzt kind of mirroring die moves von GKS. Auction E-Sports ist auch in die vicinity. Aber Dark Zero, die in dieser Position auf der Track ist, sind sie zu machen. Und Gemburne mit der R9.

02:14:52 Das ist eine große Herausforderung für all diese Teams auf dem Norden, denn das ist eine bessere Position für die Endgame. Wir sehen etwas ähnliches in EMEA, wo es die Northern Rocks sind absolut vital zu finden, und es sieht wie Dark-Zero ist, dass die Teams aus dem Norden haben, sogar SSG zurückzukehren. Natürlich, das alte Team, Zynu, geht gegen sie.

02:15:20 The new roster, though, or the new organisation finding themselves on SSG. By the way, I know we've said it, but it's great to have SSG back. And I'm really excited to see them be involved once more. It's purely selfish. They're just nice people. Just great guys. By the way, got confirmation as we see Optic trying to move up onto Skirt here that the Cray was stolen away by a Loba. And it was Ape Gang and Danmatic who stole it away. So Rips had Christmas ruined. Down.

02:15:47 Das ist eine Sache, um zu beurteilen Weihnachten in Februar ist eine sehr spezielle Skill, das muss man sagen. Es gibt nur noch ein paar Sachen in Decembert, aber nicht mehr. Er ist noch nicht so wichtig. Er ist noch ein Santa-Wisch-List, er denkt, okay, kann ich eine Kraber dieses Mal, weil ich es habe, weil ich es getrennt von mir in Februar ist. Das ist gut.

02:16:04 Ich weiß nicht, ob Skirte sind auf der westen Seite zu machen. So ich bin nach der westen Seite. Es ist ein Potenzial, dass Skirte durch die Traintracks gehen und sich auf der westen Seite befinden. Aber das ist auch ein ziemlich treacheres Weg. Wenn sie ein bisschen mehr Zeit haben, dann könnte sie nach links gehen. Das ist die gleiche Rotation von Dark Zero. Und da ist viel Platz auf der westen Seite. Aber ich weiß nicht, ob Skirte sind genug Zeit zu kommen.

Spielgeschehen und Team-Positionierungen im späteren Spielverlauf

02:16:28

02:16:28 Ich möchte sagen, dass der Killfeed war interessant, weil wir lachen und jokin' wie Reps hat die Kraber gestorben. Sie hat ihn. Sie hat Apegang, zumindest zwei von ihnen. Und ich bin sicher Reps ist sicher, dass Reps wird ein Kraber finden. So vielleicht... ...Christmas kommt early für Reps. Wer weiß. Aber das ist wo die Zone ist. Und look at Dark Zero. Die einzige Team mit all ihren Toad inside.

02:16:53 Ich meine, Dark-Zero hat so gut gemacht. Komplexity hält das Platz. Dark-Zero hat sie dann versucht. Komplexity hat sie weg. Und jetzt sind sie in der Prime Position hier, als die Circle weitergeht. Und wenn wir die Korsdick-Team sehen, dass die Train-Track-Träger sind, könnte es unglaublich für sie sein. TSM verlieren 1. Rebs geht's. Rebs geht's. Rebs geht's.

02:17:15 Some schmoovement as LG in Optik and Skurter were all looking towards TSM. Even Oxygen, I think, were having a pop.

02:17:37 Aber für Verhulst, es wird nur ein Fall sein, dass es vielleicht genug ist, dass er vielleicht ein Rez könnte, dass er vielleicht ein Rez könnte, aber es ist noch nicht möglich. Es ist noch eine Möglichkeit, dass es noch ein Rez gegeben hat, aber es ist noch nicht möglich. Es ist noch eine Möglichkeit, dass es noch ein Rez gegeben hat. Rebs geht's. Ja, Rebs ist fertig. Optic Gaming ist auch so weit zu spielen, es ist so viel für sie zu spielen. Sie haben bereits die große Mord-Weapons, wie sie auch. Sie sehen Gold R99, Sie sehen die Trier-1-Full-Kitted, also Optic Gaming wird zu sein, um sie zu sein.

02:18:05 Ich denke, das ist ein saying, das ich gerade habe, aber du hast den Punkt, okay? Ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja.

02:18:18 Oxygen, 1st place at the moment in the overalls, 43 points. Looking to try and make it even more here on World's Edge, but they still have to move north. LG are going to be taking The Rock to their north, and I think Oxygen may have just seen that happen, but it's going to still be Dark Zero, the only team actually in the next-next circle, as Optic also being pressured. All these teams that are outside of the circle are thinking, we have to fight now, this is our chance to get points.

02:18:43 Es geht um K7 durch und durch die Dark Veil, wir werden nicht mehr tun können. Und auch wenn sie auf der E-Ball sind, die Frage ist, ob sie zu Survive haben, um es zu nutzen. Dropped Survives für jetzt, aber wir gehen jetzt. Skirt Eliminating in der meantime, Flak geht um, Optik geht um, als die Zone beginnt zu force, diese Fights. Jeder hat sich in E-Ternal, mit Just2 zu versuchen, alle diese Carnage zu gehen.

02:19:05 Oh, what a shame for Flat, almost getting into top 15, almost getting one placement point as a solo, but sadly 16th is the position that they will finish in. Now EA having a look over towards Native, remember Native who moved very early, as did EA over towards Survey Camp here, but have they been able to do damage to get those armours up as Phaser back up to a 3, but that 3 could become 2? No, they just about squeeze into the circle away from the zone.

02:19:29 Oh, good shots coming in from Snipedown, but do they have time to heal here? They can drop down to the low ground for now, but they're not sure that they know there's another team on the other side of this wall. Snipedown is going to look across and he's going to find there's not just one team, but maybe there's two. Snipedown now left on his own.

02:19:42 Die Havoc starte zu spüren. Sie haben zu spüren und spielen für KP in dieser Situation. Aber Faze wird fallen. Komplexity also eliminated. Und remember, sie waren die Team die in der POI waren, wo wir sehen, dass dieses Spiel pretty much end at SurveyCamp ist. SSG in eine großartige Spot, though. LG move in zum Takedown und Final Players in Eternal. Native Gaming eliminated in der Meantime. Und wir sind jetzt A, als LG kommen und Fire, auch. Die Havoc starte zu gehen. Und sie übernommen. Sweet, though. Looks like sie wird bei Ox...

02:20:12 Oxygen, ELEVATE, DROP-In und TSM sind alle auf den Southerrn hier.

02:20:31 Oh wow. Oh wow.

02:20:52 I mean, this could have been the fight and may still well be the final fight of the match if they decide just to back off from one another here, but there was certainly some damage that was done that led to that engagement happening where either team thought that they had a chance to maybe eliminate that team nice and early, which would probably guarantee the win. It has to be said, TSM do get wiped out as we get to our last five now. Dark Zero, Elevate, Oxygen, Drop-In Gaming and SSG. Two Wingmans in the lobby.

Strategische Entscheidungen und Teamdynamiken im Finale

02:21:19

02:21:19 Und ich glaube, sie sind in den Händen von Dark-Zero, so sie müssen sich sehr vorsichtig sein, und sich an die 3rd-Party-Opportunität zu nehmen. Die Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-G

02:21:44 Und SSG haben sie gewohnt, die Trainkart gewohnt, von Dark-Zero und wahrscheinlich behalten die beste spot in den Spiel. Oxygen haben viele Augen auf sie. Und in ein 3-3-3-3, wie das, du wirst wirklich nicht mehr Augen auf dich. Du wirst versuchen, dich nicht auf dich auf dich. Du wirst versuchen, dich nicht auf dich auf dich. Du wirst versuchen, dich nicht auf dich auf dich. Du wirst versuchen, dich in die letzte Team zu enteren. Das ist das, was wir immer sagen.

02:22:06 Dark Zero and SSG certainly know about each other. If they've both become aware of Oxygen, there is a chance that they could kind of team up a little bit here, destroy Oxygen, and then take the separate 3v3. Every time I see the word Sykes, by the way, I just hear it in the scream, the bellow. Sykes! Sykes! It's crazy, but we'll have to see if that's going to be the case.

02:22:26 Oder wenn er sich zu begratulieren, dass er ein Job ist. Oxygen E-Sports mit Digi-Threats hat. Sie hat auch einen Wingman, die kann so viel damage geben. Wir sehen die Probleme, die Weaponen kann. Und das in den Backpocket ist genug, das zu stoppen, dass jeder, die zu tun, dass jeder zu nehmen. SSG zu machen, dass sie auch mit Armorswappen sind, so dass wenn sie getrennt werden, sie können sie in den Kampf wiederholfen können. Aber die Faktor ist für zwei diese Teams für zwei, die von Bangalore auszunehmen.

02:22:53 Vielen Dank.

02:23:22 Und jetzt ist es sicher, dass es sich um die Schilden des Schildes zu machen. Aber Rieser hat das Wingman. Es ist ein 3-2-2, Vayne hat sich viel zu tun, aber sie sollten noch etwas tun können, besonders mit Conduit zu helfen, als Oxygen weiterentwickelt die Lobby. Von South zu North, sie finden ihren Weg in die Final-Circle, und sie haben einfach zu warten für Dark-Zero zu crossen. Und sie haben den Vorteil, und sie haben den Vorteil.

02:23:49 What a difference a couple of weeks makes, right? Oxygen changing back POI to Barometer. Get a little bit of confidence under their belt with the old faithful on Stormpoint. And now come through with a win here on Worlds Edge as well. Just looking like the team I was excited to watch coming into this season. You know, going into the ALGS Championships last year, I think a lot of talk was about Oxygen. Maybe being a dark horse to win the whole thing. It wasn't to be, but...

02:24:15 Everybody had them on that kind of conversation loop and on that pedestal as a team who might be another one to break out in future. So I think Oxygen, this is what we expected to see from you. And this is what we wanted to see from you. And Dan, they're showing that this isn't a team who was a one-season wonder. This is a team of putting the work and really showing they can be up there when it comes to the end of the season.

02:24:33 Ja, great call from you. You mentioned it at the start of the show how this could be a week to keep an eye on Oxygen. I'll allow you to take a quick break as I bring Stella back into the fray. Stella, Oxygen continue to be at the very top of our lobby and continue to impress us no matter what map they find themselves on. I know, it's impressive. They really set themselves up for success there. I mean, either way, SSG or Dark Zero were bound to look at each other and...

02:24:58 I mean, they kind of just knew Oxygen was going to win. They were in the superior positioning. Those train cars really don't give you much cover. And when you know that there's a team just looking down at you, getting potshots, and you know it's kind of over. But they did the best that they could, and Oxygen has been great with positioning, especially in World's Edge. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think the fact they were able to force their way through zone and find themselves from the south side all the way to the north side, I think they'll be extremely happy with it.

02:25:26 Aber ich denke, mein Concern war, wenn sie die zwei Teams auf der Norden sind, sie waren ein bisschen worried, dass sie vielleicht zu late sind. Aber die Faktor Dark Zero wurde zu den Nordwesten, SSG war so gut mit der Opening Damage, um Dark Zero zu force Dark Zero zurück, speziell nach Dark Zero zu haben, das zu jeder anderen Team in der Lobby war. Es hat Oxygen gesagt, dass wir das High-Ground haben und sagen, okay, wir haben nicht mehr zu gehen. Wir wissen Dark Zero haben zu gehen. Let's just be patient. Be patient, excuse me. Und as we've already mentioned today, whether it be EMEA,

02:25:55 Patience is a virtue. It has helped so many teams find victories here today. It really is. And knowing when to pick your fights was huge for Oxygen there. I mean, they chose to take Godrock, which was a great call. And I think Dark Zoo knew immediately at that moment. They were like, well...

Rotationen, Wetterbedingungen und Setup-Herausforderungen

02:26:11

02:26:11 Yes, we just go forward and there's not much you can do from there. Now, unfortunately, we did see FaZe actually be able to play the game this time, but it was unfortunate they did get taken out kind of early in mid-game because they just weren't able to get that rotation early. We also saw that there was Elevate and Drop and Lagging on the Edge of Circle, which inevitably did have them eliminated from the match. So there's a lot of rotations that people have to get on top of because if you don't have that ring console knowledge, it is kind of detrimental to you.

02:26:40 Ja, und ebenso es ist ein bisschen mehr Predictable mit RingConsole-Knowledge. Es ist nicht ein Fun-Circle zu spielen für einen Team, die wirklich zu weit entfernt ist, weil es durch Epicenter ist, niemand enjoys. Es gibt viele Open-Ares, die du musst durch. Wenn du keine Catalyst hast, gibt es das Cover. Oder wenn du dein Ultimat hast, wenn du dein Ultimat hast, dann bist du sehr vulnerable. Small shout-out to die Teams, die wir able-to-wrap'-their-way-to-hier-placements sind. Ich glaube, TSM-Were able-to-pushed-themes ein bisschen weiter. Verholz...

02:27:09 Saw his teammates go down a little bit earlier, but still was able to push himself into sixth place. The same could be said for GG or Flat. I'll give them a shout out. As a solo player, sadly, two players being disconnected due to the weather issues in North America at the moment. It's in LA, right? It's where you are. How are you still on air? How are you still? Why are you disconnected? Stop, stop, stop. I swear, I keep getting notifications on my phone that there's like a storm warning. It's like, oh, it'll stop raining.

02:27:37 No, no, no, I mean...

02:27:39 So I keep getting notifications and I was a little worried, but yeah, it is in California. I think L.A. is getting hit, but it's the Bay Area that's been hit pretty hard. So Kim Chi is actually playing out of his friend's house right now. He sent me a picture of his current setup and it's like the most bare bones setup. And the fact that they were able to win a match like that is incredible. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty much a little diva when it comes to my setup. I have to have my mouse, my keyboard. Otherwise, I'm like, you know what? It's not going to work for me.

02:28:08 Ja, ich meine, es gibt so viele Teams, die versuchen, den Setup der Land zu verwendet, ob es das gleiche Monitor wird, zum Beispiel, so dass sie ein Gefühl haben. Es tut mir nicht so, dass die Leute kämpfen, aber es ist nicht so, dass die Komplexität nicht möglich ist. Anyway, Series Result, so wie sie bereit sind. Let's take a look, Stella. Ja.

02:28:27 Oh, ja, Oxygen Esports looking great with 31 kills. My goodness. And 68 total points today. SSG not too far, but almost half the kills. And Dark Zero, of course, has 23 kills, but is in third place. What do you make of this?

02:28:43 I mean, Dark Zero are just an incredible fighting team, and they do put themselves in the position where they can pick up KP if placement isn't available to them. So it doesn't entirely surprise me, but it is all about Oxygen and SSG as the leading two right now. Elsewhere, the middle of the pack is going to start looking similar to what we saw in EMEA earlier, where a victory could change everything for you and could really elevate you into a position where you can start to look down on those who are going to be in that chasing pack. Two games remaining, so there is certainly still an...

02:29:12 für diese squads zu machen. Es hat sich angefangen zu sehen, für die Schürt und Faze. Aber wenn sie es geht, in 5 und 6 sind, wird es noch nicht nur die Top 10 sein. Aber Sie können auch die Top 5 sein. Es ist definitiv doable.

02:29:30 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, even LG on the second page of that roster, I mean, I think they can still make it up as well. They've been having, I think you said it, they've been having a quieter game today and I don't know what's going on. It could be something, you know, maybe not cohesive with the team today. It could be a lot of different things, but I'm curious. I want to pick your brain on what you think could be going through their heads right now.

02:29:50 Obviously, with Battle Royale, sometimes it is just going to come down to, did you get a ring console? Did the zone pull your way? How's the weather? Apparently, it's going to affect us today. It's just one of those days, it seems like, for LG. But again, as I say, with matches 5 and 6 still around the corner, it's not the end of the world. The lobby is close enough in the mid-game or the mid-table that they can still make a name for themselves. They can still push their way in. So I would just put it down to, you know, a couple of bad zones, maybe a bad call here or there. It's tough to say without actually seeing.

02:30:20 from their point of view. But if anyone can come back in and show us what they're made of in the late game, we know it's LG. They always do it. Absolutely. I was actually looking back at my notes and yeah, the zone pools today have been pretty rough. I mean, I think we did see a few of the players talking about, oh, their scrim circle. So it's a little rough. And I think that's the thing about Apex though. You have to be prepared for every single scenario that could happen, which is difficult, but that's why they're pro players, right? So hopefully they're ready for the next circle and hopefully it isn't rough.

02:30:49 But we're gonna take a quick break. When we come back, we'll have the next match ready for you.

02:34:49 Ja, und ein Oxygener kann sich weiterentwickeln, mit Games wie das, 14 Kills, mit der Victory, wird eine Gap.

Match 5: Strategische Positionierung und Teamkämpfe in World's Edge

02:35:14

02:35:14 No matter how well anyone else is performing, SSG find themselves on 15 points with a second place finish in Dark Zero on 11. And then the kind of mid-table, everyone kind of sharing points because teams are still finding kills even if they're not placing particularly well. So it is going to be very interesting as we get towards Match 5 and 6 here about which teams can start to really push themselves forward.

02:35:37 It's an opportunity to do so right now in match number five. Only two to go and we have flown through the matches today and we're going to continue on World's Edge, of course, for these final two matches. And I'm looking at teams like FaZe because they've had a little bit of a rough day so far. Day number one for them was, I would say, about as good as you could have expected, not only from a new team, but they were obviously splitting a POI in that game day number one. Game day number two was a concern for me because they really did fall off a little bit. And now I'm looking at these last two games as...

02:36:06 How are we kind of going to judge this FaZe lineup, right? Because it's been slow so far. There hasn't been too many good moments for them outside of maybe winning that contesting game number one. So now is a chance for them to shine and they need to because the points, they're still there to be picked up. And if they can, then all of a sudden a bit of a shaky and bad looking day can turn into a pretty good one. Yeah, I think the match five has to be a good one here for FaZe. The same could be said for Skr after the...

02:36:31 Troubles, dass sie sich selbst in gefunden haben. Das heißt, in Stormpoint. Und dann nicht wirklich in den ersten Zeiten von World's Edge. Aber wir sind in Legend Select dann. Und das bedeutet, wir sind sehr nahe zu Match 5. Wir glaubten, dass wir noch ein Revenant hatten. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich glaube es. Vielleicht Abreleli hat es für lange genug geholfen. Und dann hat er sich aufhört. Und dann hat er sich aufhört. Er hat die API zu manipulieren. Das ist das, Abreleli. Er hat wirklich einen Spanner in den works.

02:37:00 All right, well, Dropship is locked. It's loaded. And we'll have to see whether we do get the early fight that we saw last time as well. Two games to go. Game number five is live. Where is the ring going to be taking us and who is going to have the information about where it's going to be going first? Pretty good Dropship we can see straight down the middle of Worlds edge here. Started off on the southern side, so a little bit of an advantage for those on their loop path and how quickly they can start their rotate. But just looking over Ring consoles early here and just trying to see if we can...

02:37:28 Pick anything up. Geiser is going to have one. And that's going to be FaZe, of course, who do drop over there and move their way through. So I'll keep my eyes on that just to see if they do get a little bit of info. And FaZe will have that information, so there's an opportunity for them to move quick.

02:37:41 SSG also have Ring Console to work with at Climatizer, Elevate have one to work with, LG are going to have one at Lava Fisher, so Lava Fisher and Countdown both have them, even Drop-In Gaming at Landslide, so a lot of the kind of more central POIs, or close to central, like Landslide, are going to have the ability to at least get that Ring Console information, which is going to be needed because we're going back towards Epicenter and Survey Camp. This time it's not going to...

02:38:06 be as north as it was prior it is going to be more the surrounding areas of epicenter that we're going to start to see teams reside yeah this could be pulling up towards the hill house potentially or maybe over towards the other bins i would say just kind of between the uh the station and epicenter itself it's an interesting one and maybe one of those one of those zones again that you're playing for ring three on because

02:38:29 Ja, ich denke, es wird noch eine schwierige Frage, weil ich in der Post-Game ist,

02:38:51 Rotating through Epicenter ist nicht einfach für jemanden. Except für die Team, die ein Highground zu arbeiten. Es gibt so viele Ups und Downs, so viele schwierige Fights, viele Open Ground auch, dass du dich selbst in fühlst, wenn du sicher bist, wenn du sicher bist, wenn du ein Team wirst, wenn du ein Team wirst, wenn du ein Team wirst, weil du ein Team wirst, weil jeder hat genug Platz, wo sie in ein congestes Spiel in Epicenter sein können, aber nicht genug Platz zu tun.

02:39:15 So it's going to be another circle that's frustrating, I'd say, for those who are rotating a little bit later. Oh my goodness. I think that Lou was trying to use that balloon, by the way, to see what SSG were doing. I think he could see that they had a ring console on the map overhead, and he was trying to use that to see where the rotate was going to be, but he just gave it a little bit too much juice, and he just guaranteed an easy kill to SSG. So what might have been a little bit of a 200 IQ play has ended up kind of putting his team on the back foot here.

02:39:44 And I'm all for, you know, taking risks, trying to gain information. But, you know, sometimes you are going to take a risk and you're going to be punished for it. And that is a freebie for SSG. And they'll be delighted with it. And I mean, especially going up against Xinyu, he's not going to miss, right? We know what he can do. He's a land champion. He is a fantastic player and is going to punish you if you do make any sort of step out of line. So Complexity, you're going to have to work as a two or work to try and get...

02:40:09 Das 3rd player ist wieder auf der Fee, als alle jetzt auf die Eppicentre sind, wie ein Block-Train ist, und jemand wird es versuchen. Ich habe mir gedacht, wie du das war. TSM, werden wir jetzt ein ganz anders machen. Wir werden jetzt in der Vault-Tunnel gehen, und die Leute sind schädet, was Faze sind jetzt. Also, von all den Teams, ich denke, dass du vielleicht auch ein bisschen weiterverteidigst.

02:40:38 If you phase right now, TSM are probably pretty high up that list. Complexity, though, somehow got Lou back into it. That's the ability and the upside of having a support legend. You can craft that banner. You can get that player back in. You just need either a mobile resi or, of course, just a res that is going to be there and waiting for you. And now Complexity can try and take this fight if they want.

02:41:00 Weil Kareem sehr nahe und vielleicht vulnerable sind, weil Sie sehen, wie die Anzahl der Anzahl der Anzahl der Anzahl haben, aber ich glaube, Komplexe wird nicht so gut auf das, weil sie wohl wissen, wie sie auf die SSG waren, um was vorhin zu haben. Ja, das ist das, was sie jetzt zu haben, ist, was für einen von ihnen zu gehen und dann wieder zu gehen, weil der Mapbeacon ist, um das Re-Spawn in zu haben, und sie werden nicht mehr so schnell machen das wieder. LG, doch.

02:41:26 A little bit rough looking for them at the moment on their rotate. Not the armors you really want. They're going to have to play for height and poke damage. A lot of people seem to be betting in and around Survey Camp as well. But there's a lot of people playing in and around Epicenter at the moment on kind of some of the hilly areas. And I think that's a good indication to hark back to what we were saying at the start of this game, right? I don't think anyone is 100% convinced on where this zone is going to be playing. And again, look at that map overhead. I think that gives you a pretty good...

02:41:55 So we are seeing, you know, our main edge teams here, who probably would have the ability to do it anyway, but they're going to learn a lot.

02:42:18 ...of information, which the teams who have already moved are not going to have access to. So that will give them the opportunity to potentially dive in late and find playable space of where maybe someone hasn't predicted if the zone pulls in a certain way. We're native at the moment. They're kind of trying to, I would say, defend the ring console. It always fills on this central platform monument. They're going to have a line of sight onto it.

02:42:41 Sie sind also mehr als aware, dass es ein Team unter dem Moment ist, so sie müssen sich sehr vorsichtig sein, wie sie versuchen, es wird sehr gut sein. Und über den Fragmenten ist es, RTSM sind. So, wenn sie ein paar Knochen gehen, dann werden sie mehr als happy, um sie zu machen, um sie zu machen. Er hat einen kleinen Schuss mit dem Flatline gesehen, um das Recoil zu machen, um das Schuss zu machen.

02:43:06 Es wird ein bisschen steckig sein, wenn diese Teams entscheiden, um einen anderen zu senden, weil TSM ist auch gerade in den Körner. Im Moment sind sie nur in der Bühne, aber Native haben sie zu wissen, und sie sollen nicht mehr zu tun. A Dark Veil hat zu sein, um es zu versuchen, zu bleiben.

02:43:22 Ich weiß nicht, ob vielleicht Skurt könnte ein Teil sein. Ich habe die Map-Overhead und Skurt nicht gewartet, sondern sie starten mit Fragment zu gehen. Potenziell, sie denken über das Ring-Console an Monument, wie die anderen Gruppen-Squads sind. Und jetzt ist die Möglichkeit, jetzt ist die Chance, zu starten mit den Ring-Console, wenn ihr sie habt. Optik definitiv ist so, wie Sie sehen, auf den Map-Overhead. Dark-Zero chose nicht zu, und GKS wird es auch, wie bei Harvest. Und Oxygen kann es in Landslide.

02:43:51 Yeah, it does look like the Hill House, where we were thinking in the north side, is going to be prime position. And that's where SSG picked up that first kill onto Complexity. And that's where they're going to be sitting for this game. So an opportunity for SSG, who are in second place overall, to maybe try and cut down that lead that Oxygen have already managed to establish. So a big opportunity for SSG, of course, playing under the SSG banner. If you're watching for the first game today and you're wondering who's SSG, form a PLP. So PLP become SSG. Simple.

02:44:20 And I mean, it makes sense for SSG, right? You pick up a team that has a former Land Champion on it. There's not too many of them in Apex Legends, so take advantage of the ones that are available as TSM get a knock. They're not going to send it, but they might be able to pick up a little bit of KP, especially with the black hole being tossed towards them.

02:44:41 That kill has been secured. You see Verholz gets the finish. Eternal do lose one player. And now TSM are just worried about their backs for a second. And why wouldn't it be? Because Skurr have moved up. And Skurr are inside the train station themselves. There's going to be a smoke that goes down. But Skurr gets ripped down. Amaleli gets taken down. And Skurr with barely any HP less has to be very careful here. Because it's the havoc of Verholz that is causing the problems for them. It was just a split second too late on the conduit queue.

02:45:09 Der TSM ist in diesem Kampf. Mal schauen wir uns zu den Konsern und sehen was sie sehen.

02:45:21 Ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier,

02:45:47 TSM hat sich auf die Fights zu halten. Das ist eine Liste, eine Bolle von 30-30. Und all of a sudden, du fühlst dich in eine clean-Fight, aber es wird ein bisschen messer und ein bisschen mehr, weil du nicht mehr wirst, dass das LOS war. TSM hat sich wohl zu stabilisieren und zu machen, dass es noch ein Full-3 ist. Jetzt, GKS, die waren able, die extra Ring-Information zu bekommen, haben sie sich in den Südwesten geändert. Und sie sind schadet von Oxygen, die wieder...

02:46:11 Ich habe das Ring-Console-Informationen. So, beide denken in similar ways und similar plans of action. Und ich weiß, ob Oxygen kann das Unthinkable machen und wieder zurück-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to.

Match 5: Finale Kämpfe und GKS sichert sich den Sieg

02:46:33

02:46:33 Wenn sie einen anderen Spiel gewinnen, dann bekommen sie den Papiermache Trophy, die ich sende in ihrer Box. Sie haben sie in vier Spiele gewinnen. Es ist über 50%. Oh, okay. So in der vierte Spiel, dann bekommen sie eine Bonus Point. Und dann für jede Woche, dann bekommen sie eine Bonus Point. Vielen Dank du bist du hier, wenn es zu Maths geht. Ich weiß, ich sage es oft, aber ich bin als zwei Planker als das.

02:46:58 Hey, there's always a 1% chance I could be wrong as well. So, you know, we have to just bear that in mind. But I think my memory might serve me right now. Eternal, they are holding themselves in the position. Actually, GKS and Oxygen got past Eternal. I thought Eternal were going to hold them both out, but Eternal stayed in their building, so it just allowed people to rotate as Drop-In Gaming are our first team to be eliminated here. We finally lose a squad.

02:47:23 Frowler in the hands of Jember and he's given the DJ over to his teammate on the Bangalore though just to make sure that those smokes are as effective as possible, but I'm gonna be honest with you Jember you don't really need it if you get a line of science or player with this gun you're gonna do damage optic gaming eliminated and zero gets the knock-on to read so now you're gonna see dark zero taking on the last two remember remaining players from oxygen trying to clean up that damage zero will get one oxygen eliminated we will not see them get a bonus point today

02:47:48 Und es wird versuchen, die Teams zu versuchen, mit den Lobby-Leadern zu versuchen, mit ihnen zu eliminieren. Es ist auch ein Team wie DarkZero, die nicht zu weit entfernt sind. Es ist auch mit der Victory hier. Sie können das Gap close, und dann etwas. Jetzt LG.

02:48:02 Ja, sehr, sehr schwer. Und wie gesagt, nicht viele Teams spielen Watson, wenn es nicht.

02:48:29 In this lobby at the moment, which means that grenades become devastating in those kind of positions. You hit one nice frag grenade, one nice thermite. I mean, we saw the thermite that took Optic Gaming down a little bit earlier on. One thermite grenade pretty much took down all three of them or certainly stripped away enough shields and damage for the cleanups to be very, very simple.

02:48:50 And I wonder if that's something we're going to see a little bit more frequently, Watson Picks, as we move through North America in the weeks coming. Oblivion, though, stuck under the bridge at the moment. Kind of safe, kind of not safe. And it's another example of one of these spots which we would say is playable, but not comfortable.

02:49:05 Ja, niemand ist wirklich auf die drei, und ich weiß, dass die Komms sehr hektisch sind, aber das ist wichtig, aber das ist wichtig. Das ist wichtig. Kann Faze machen etwas hier an dieser Brücke? Nicht in wo Pandas currently resides, aber natürlich kann er sein, aber er kann sein, dass er seine Brücke hat, und sie kann den kinder Norden der Brücke halten. Das ist richtig. Ich hoffe er hat. Ich hoffe er hat. Ich hoffe er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat. Ich glaube er hat er hat. Ich glaube er hat er hat.

02:49:35 ...edges... ...of the zone. Ich denke Snipe Down ist es, sicherlich. Ich werde die Sunglasses aus, Phase.

02:49:45 Ja, FaZe ist so hellbent auf, ich denke, auf die Vorurteilen, auf die Teams, die vielleicht nach dem, dass sie nicht wirklich auf die Team geschaut haben. Das ist wirklich nicht so viel für FaZe, aber es könnte später sein, was das Team zu enden. Die 17-Squads bleiben, Klain hat nur für Natives gewonnen, so es ist eine Chance, dass wir noch ein Kampf geben können. Aber Sie sehen, Skirt haben...

02:50:09 Sie haben ihren Weg in den Silos und es könnte sein, dass sie ein Problem für Faze versuchen, hier zu versuchen. Ich meine, ich glaube, Faze sah sie und dachte, wir können sie passen, wir können sie überlegen, dass sie mit dem Team unterteilen können und dann können wir 3D-Party werden. Aber für mich, das ist eine Chance für einen FreeKP. Wenn sie gesehen haben, ein paar Spieler schauen, und zwei Guns equals eine kille, sehr, sehr schnell. Jemburton, wenn man sich in eine kille selber hat, hat sich ein paar Sekunden mehr als normal zu machen.

02:50:36 Das Fenyx-Kitt. Und jetzt Faze sind sie zu machen. Sie sind zu sehen, dass sie ein paar Fights sind. Ein paar Clean-Ups kommen in. Sie werden auch noch ein paar Kills kommen. Und Sie sehen, Zeratricky wird ein. Phonix wird ein paar mehr. Und Faze, vielleicht ist das der Moment. Vielleicht ist das der Fenyx, vielleicht ist es der Moment. Vielleicht ist das Fenyx, vielleicht ist es ein wenig. Ich war zu sagen, es muss das Spiel sein, wirklich, für Faze. Ich bin sicher, du kannst in Match 6 gehen und hoffen für eine große Pop-Off-Gabe, aber du kannst nicht in diesem Spiel bleiben.

02:51:04 You want to be able to try and do as much here as possible when the armor looks good, the weapons look good, the positioning looks okay. I mean, FaZe are going to have to go through a lot of teams here. They do have an evac tower to work with, so they can try and just try and dive over everyone, but...

02:51:19 If they force them their way through, they're potentially just going to end up in what is a blender of Epicenter at the moment. Keep an eye on this killfeed in the next 35 seconds, it's about to pop off. Yeah, it's about to go wacky mode, which is a technical term that was used in Apex Legends. Zeratrick is trying to move in though, he's got the Digi threat and he's doing some good damage. His teammates are backing him up as well. The Digi threat could be the Digi difference at the moment, but he's got to be careful because he isn't aware.

02:51:44 The teammates are taking damage and FaZe will go down as they try and force their way in towards Zone. A couple of other teams did fall as well. TSM are going to be playing the Scaffolding which is around the Beacon.

02:51:55 Und jetzt werden sie mit SSG engagieren, die müssen nach dem Hill House gehen. Skirt Eliminatet, Ape Gang Eliminatetet auch. Und ihr seid, ihr seid auf die Killfeed, denn wenn ihr seid, ihr werdet ein paar Teams fallen. Oblivion geht auch. TSM geht es! Und TSM. Vielleicht sogar SSG könnte sein. 9 Squads remain. Wir hatten 16, nur kurz vorhin. Und es sieht aus wie es geht, um 8 zu sein, als Flat.

02:52:16 Also get eliminated. Flat, who actually were able to play as a full three in this game, by the way. They were able to get their internet back on. So very happy that they got to play Apex Legends. Now Dark Zero being pushed by GKS. Are they going to be able to actually do the damage? The initial damage is great. And the vault slays through. Stay naughty. Staying naughty.

02:52:33 I mean, that's the one thing, right? Dark Zero just had a fight, and you would imagine they used a lot of utility in that fight. Sykes is going to go down. Zero and Jim Burton do get out of there, though, but EA are just around the corner. This is such a treacherous zone for everyone to have to play. You quite rightly, brilliantly put it, there's playable spots, but there is no comfortable spot for anyone at the moment, and Dark Zero is showing just that.

02:52:54 Yeah, and it becomes even worse as you get further into this next circle because there is literally nowhere to hide for some of these squads if they are forced out into open area. Dark Zero still a two though, still fighting, still pressing and still a big threat in this lobby regardless.

02:53:10 LG struggling, SSG get wiped out. And we're down to seven squads now as Elevate I think have spotted out Dark Zero's remaining squad. Yeah, Geburton's gonna go down. Zero's gonna be left on his own. And you would imagine they would swing as a three to try and clean that one up. LG still alive. And looking down on the team who are trying to cross below them at the moment, but there's someone very close to them as well. LG who are...

02:53:32 Two White Armors and a Blue, I think, when they started this game. Well, now they've got two Reds and a Purple. Things are looking up stonks for LG when it comes to shields, but can they find KP off the back of this? Slayer just getting those Mets back up. Oh, 138 from Sweet. The Vault just absolutely shredding.

02:53:49 Und LG sollte die Wipe pressen. Sie sollten die Wipe getrennt, und sie werden, als Krim eliminiert. Aber jetzt DarkZero ist die remainingige Spieler, die sich jetzt zu sehen. Kann Zero sein, hier zu LG sein? Sie sehen, es ist nicht der Fall. LG ist es geschafft. Ich meine, dass Zero noch in dieser Spiel ist, auf der Bangalore, hat sich sehr beeindruckt.

02:54:07 Complexity will fall as well. They're into the top six. Sweet now flies forward, trying to deathball the team behind these rocks. Funk's trying to back him up, but it looks like this will be the end for LG. Dark Zero fall as well, so now we get to a little bit of calm as everybody is surviving for now. E8, in my opinion, the team to watch. They are within striking distance of some of those top spots, and I think with the walk-in that they have and the fact that they have more cover in this zone than most, might be in a position to win this game.

02:54:33 Yeah, we have to start looking at who has to move first. And like who it is, it's DNO, who might be targeted. And if they're not targeted, then they have to make a decision of who do they try and jump on. Oh, that's a good amount of damage, though. Have to be careful if you elevate here. You don't want to invite any sort of pressure. Just wait. Maybe do a little bit of pop damage yourself onto another team to try and encourage that third squad to push. They'll certainly be aware of where those teams currently are. Maybe less so about GKS. They've certainly got eyes on...

02:55:03 Do you know? I mean, this is going to be a tough one. Look at the high ground that is available for Elevate. GKS also has something to work with, too. Oh, he's only got 30 bullets or so to work with, though. That's one issue that might rear its head. Although he does have his teammate Sorcerer, who does have 190 bullets. Thank you. Just to make that a little bit less awkward.

02:55:27 Das ist interessant, aber die D&A hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie. Die D&O hat eine Valkyrie.

02:55:51 Es ist ein guter Spieler, Schubi, aber 3v1 ist das, dass auch noch nicht du kann, es wird GKS gewinnen, die 5th Spiel des Jahres. Und wieder, es ist einfach, wie wir immer sehen in Apex Legends sehen, die Team, die zuerst muss, oft macht das schwierige Call, ob wir versuchen und spielen für 2nd place. Die Darkveil kommt, sie voll senden es, aber leider nicht, aber es immer öffnet die Team, die zuerst werden.

02:56:15 We're done. Come back please Dan, I need you.

02:56:43 I can't count. Yes, yes. Man, these matches have been incredible to watch today. I mean, they're also a little bit heartbreaking to see the circles pull and see teams struggling to get there. Epicenter is a horrible last circle. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. But, I mean, GKS did so well playing that high ground. And, again, like you were saying, it kind of wrote itself.

02:57:05 Anyone's move there was definitely going to be their last. And GKS just swept in and cleaned up the pieces. Yeah, I think, to be honest with you, EA, from the position they were in, they had a good spot. But when DNO decided that they were just going to try and fight for second, they won that fight having had the first player go down. So I think they'll be pretty happy, actually, to get the edge to KP and secure second place. It was a very simple, of course, job for GKS at the end of it just to clean the final pieces up.

02:57:28 Das Zone ist schwer. Das ist eine wirklich, wirklich tough Zone. Und wir haben ein paar von ihnen so far gesehen haben, die jetzt in den Open Ground gehen. Wenn du ein Composition wählst, dass du vielleicht in den Open Ground wählst und sagst, ich wünsche dir ein Gibby oder so. Aber es ist einfach, du kannst du diese Dinge.

Analyse von Spielstrategien und Teamleistungen

02:57:43

02:57:43 Yeah, absolutely. And look at Elevate. I mean, like you said, yeah, they wanted to get the extra KP and they did. And they tied the GKS at number one for 19 points each. And I mean, that was only three extra kills that they got, but they managed to top it off. So kudos to them and LG at fourth place with six kills and 11 points. I mean, that's pretty good too. Yeah, I agree with you. I think LG, the most impressive thing for me, it's kind of, I want to talk about LG and Dark Zero very quickly. LG went for an early spot and like we saw in that zone,

02:58:13 So, kind of a tale of two different ways to play the game there from both teams, but both of them did it pretty well.

02:58:41 Yeah, all the top 10 teams here, it was a feat to get into that circle and fight for that. And I do want to point out, I mean, hey, FaZe has been able to get some KP on the board. They've been able to get some points at this point with us going into the last game. It's going to be a little bit tough.

02:58:56 Crawling your way up to at least 10th place. But I am glad to see them getting some points. And Native Gaming still in 17th. And they have not been able to get any points this round. Yeah, surprisingly quite a game for Oxygen Esports. But they're allowed one. Let's be real. We'll take a look at the top three as well from that game. To have a little bit of a comparison on damage, etc. And GKS, huge game. You look at it in damage. Seven kills, eight assists. You got 1.8k and 1.29k coming in respectively from Chaotic and Saucer. A really, really big output from them.

02:59:24 Ich denke, Elevate, sie müssen zu sprechen, als ein Team, dass sie, wenn sie diese Performance haben, die wir sehen, und diese Insane Consistency, die wir sehen von ihnen sind, sind sie ein Team, die wir sehen, die Nordamerika werden sehen, wenn es zu den Split-One Playoffs geht. Ich denke, Lan ist beckonig für Elevate. Es ist alles über Consistency, und die Moment, dass sie sich auf ihre Läurelse aufbauen, vielleicht ein bisschen über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über- und über-

02:59:51 Das Spot kann sich wegnehmen. Wir haben noch eine lange Zeit zu gehen.

02:59:56 And you bring up a good point. I mean, I think that maybe today was a great way for them to test their team and their team spirit because these zones have been so rough. It helps them prepare for all the worst situations, right? But of course, going to qualify, it does suck having to face these things. But we do get to see the series results overall right now. And it's Oxygen Esports at top with 68 total points and Dark Zero close behind with 51. And hey, your favorite SSG just one point off for being in second place. Yeah, very good performances.

03:00:26 Ich will sagen, dass das Oxygen Esports 0-point-game, ich glaube, es war, wenn ich mich richtig. Again, bitte kommen zurück, Dan, zu reminden mir die numbers. Oxygen Esports, bei einem 0-point-gen hat es öffnet sich, right? Dark Zero hat sich wahrscheinlich gesagt, hey, wir haben noch mehr Spiel, wir können winnen. Und SSG hat sich wahrscheinlich gesagt, hey, wir haben noch mehr Spiel, wir können winnen. ELEVATE, genau das gleiche. So, obwohl wir vor dem Spiel gesagt haben, Oxygen hat genug gemacht, zu vielleicht nehmen 1st place zu Beginn. Jetzt ist es komplett wide open, als ob wir die 1st place machen können.

03:00:52 Yeah, it just shows you how much power missing one game can be for a team. And it's incredible. I'm really excited to see how Game 6 is going to pan out for us. But first, if you think you have what it takes to get into ALGS, don't worry. Challenger Circuit No. 2 registration opens February 5th. Unfortunately, Challenger Circuit Split 1 did start yesterday, February 3rd for North America. So just to remind you of the teams that did make it out of that, we do have GKS and Elevate.

Analyse der letzten Spielrunde und Team-Strategien

03:01:19

03:01:19 GKS and Elevate as part of the Challengers from Qualifiers, so very excited to see what new teams we may see out of that. And really excited, but hopefully the circles aren't as rough for Challengers. Hey, look, you're going to play every single circle. You can't have ones that are pulling towards your POI where you've got ring console and the center of the zone to play from. It's all about adaptability.

03:01:41 Das ist richtig und ich denke, ich liebe das über Apex, dass die RNG ist all über die Welt. Es macht euch die Game-Knowledge und die Rotation-Knowledge zu testen. Und es geht darum, ob wir einfach durch alle diese Lobby sind? Ja. Man kann man, ich meine, dass Oxygen ist. Ja, Oxygen hat Proven, dass sie heute sind, aber es ist noch viel zu spielen. Es wird nicht in der ersten Pläne sein, bis zum Ende des Spiels.

03:02:07 Ja, best of luck to them. We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, match number six, the final one will be ready.

03:04:04 Dan, wo's your money at? I love asking you this. My favorite question to ask you, by the way, before we get into the last game. Who's going to win? You might shoo me away if I give you an answer because you shooed me away again and then you said I had to come back. But you did good math there. We have one game left. You are correct.

03:04:34 I think it's going to win it though. I'm feeling an SSG victory. I said it earlier. I think the SSG are due another one here. So we'll see whether that happens.

03:04:42 I did shoot you away, but I will say that I begged for you to come back almost immediately. Instantly, instantly. Having realised there was mathematics to be undertaken. If it makes you feel any better, I never left. I was always here in spirit. I didn't move out of my seat whatsoever. I just wanted to get into the next game and let's get through it. Let's see what happens. We've had Oxygen going back to back and putting two victories on the board and they are our lobby leaders right now, but with a...

03:05:07 Ein weiterer Exit in Match 5, oder ein weiterer Exit in Match 5 hat sich in den Match 5 veröffentlicht, für andere Teams zu starten.

03:05:36 Yeah, this is gonna be a big opportunity for some of these teams in the mid-table situation to make something of themselves in this matchday. Put a big performance down.

Taktische Manöver und Team-Dynamiken im späten Spiel

03:05:54

03:05:54 Circle is going to play a big part, of course. We've had two very similar circles so far, which has been pretty treacherous for those on the southern side. So they'll be hoping for a little bit more of a favorable pull. But again, you can only play what is in front of you. But our lobby leaders...

03:06:09 Oxygen dropping down towards staging. Are they going to have a ring console? Doesn't look like it. So they're going to have to just play with what they can see here. And looking at this circle is not the easiest circle to try and predict if you don't have ring console information. But at least it's going to be a little further south. We're not going to Epicenter again, but it's close enough for some of those teams. If I don't have ring console right now and you go, where are we going? That's somewhere in the middle, mate. Just don't worry about somewhere in the middle. It'll be fine. But dropping gaming, they're going to be...

03:06:38 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

03:07:06 Yep, LG also had one at Lava Fisher, so they're going to have that information. Elevate, can they win? They are 20 points behind first place. If Oxygen were to be eliminated and Elevate were to win with 8 plus kills, doable, alright? There is a chance, and I'm going to say there is a chance. Outside of Complexity, SSG Dark Zero, very unlikely.

03:07:26 Maybe nearly impossible. So those are the three teams we're going to be keeping an eye on to try and take a victory here today. But also, we're trying to tell that story of guys who are in the mid-table trying to push themselves into the top ten. As right now, Skur are taking some damage. Skurry trying to scurry away. And it looks like he's just able to get around the corner. Yeah, Skurry taking damage. Avril Alley outputting damage. However, this spot is a little bit ugly for them. You can see the Sweet wants to try and really put some pressure on. Maybe get a little bit of damage to send.

03:07:55 Slayer and Funk down to finish things off. But instead decides to retreat Smartly Complexity. They're going to be taking the truck that I mentioned a little bit earlier. And I always say this, right? Truck is playable, but very nadable. And if you haven't got a Watson gen down or a Watson to play, then those windows are a problem. The good news is Fuse has not really been prevalent in this lobby. We've seen the kind of down...

03:08:19 Ich sage dir was.

03:08:47 That is a care package that you want on Zone 1. Yeah, it's not a Kraber, it's not a Wingman, but it's a Bocek. And it's not the first time today that we've seen Elevate find something early in the game that's going to give them a weaponry and a damage output advantage over some of the other teams. The fact they get Digithreat inside of this tunnel as well, plus they're running Bangalore. I mean, you could have asked for more, really, to come down off that care package. It gives them so much loot, plus, speaking of loot, you can see a little bit of Vault action. It's almost as if I forget they exist sometimes.

03:09:16 Honestly, I love the bow check. Not only because I get to pretend I'm in Lord of the Rings or something, but it is just such a powerful damage dealer and you can really catch teams off guard with it. You can literally pluck them out of the sky and then your team can send it if you're able to deal that damage from a mid-range distance, I would say. So Elevate have that opportunity, but you're completely right. They are a real threat in this vault area and any team is going to be potentially obliterated if they walk into the unknown here.

03:09:45 So a great spot for Elevate looking elsewhere. I'm just trying to see what Oxygen Esports are doing. If you're talking about Volt Tunnels, we did see Oxygen inside of them. If you're wondering where that is, that's the one that's just in the north of Harvester. So bookending where this second zone is showing us is going to be two teams who are in the race to maybe take away first place today. Landslide, you can see up on the top of that. I believe it's Ape Gang or up on height, or maybe it's Oxygen Esports in the vicinity as well. Native having to be careful because they're being chased down right now inside a monument.

03:10:13 Yeah, Native just need to stay alive here in 14th position at the moment. They're one of the squads that need a relatively big game here to try and propel themselves up into the leaderboard, so they can't afford to go down to an early fight or even lose a player in the early fight, and that's why they quickly and promptly back away from it. Even with Klain taking that amount of damage, they should be safe here, but they are slowly just trying to find a better playable area with where they are, but also...

03:10:39 Maybe even considering, do we try and take this fight if we can get the jump on someone?

03:10:45 Sie haben Rink-Konsole Informationen, so sie werden sie sicher in ihren Positionen für den nächsten paar Zonen. Und sie können auch, wie Sie sagen, viele Teams, die versuchen, durch Fragment zu gehen, das ist ein saferer Weg, weil es so viele Gebäude zu machen. Hier kommt Optik Gaming, die, wieder quiet sind. Ja, das ist die Optik Gaming Team, die wir in der LGS-Championschaft haben. Und sie sehen nicht wie das Team im Moment.

03:11:13 Aber ...

03:11:39 Ich glaube, das ist der Ziel, richtig? Jeder will einfach nur in den Play-Offs gehen. Du musst nicht mehr in den Play-Offs gehen. Das ist Dark-Zero, und das ist Vs. Elevate. So, jetzt sind wir sehen, dass ein Real-Action stattfindet. Dark-Zero versucht das. Unfortunately für Zero, der Barrage nicht wirklich gut ist für ihn, weil der Bangalore ist einfach nur auf den Meltingtops und nicht...

03:12:01 So they decided to back out of this one. They also used the Beast of the Hunt. They wanted to try and get an early pick there and use everything to try and do so. But having recognized that the damage wasn't done, Dark Zero smartly backed away. And that's something that I think they do very well as well, Dan. They kind of commit hard for that initial knock. If they don't get it, they can escape.

03:12:19 Very good at getting in and out, Dark Zero. One of the reasons why they are one of the best teams in North America, if not the world, to be honest. They probably realised that a Digithreat was present as well with how much shots they took. So they quickly got out of that one and said, look, it's not a fight we should be taking. Speaking of fights, Black Hole goes down, Oblivion will destroy it very quickly though. They were trying to press this building, but the Black Hole came out in a very defensive manner.

03:12:45 Ich denke, wir sollten hier gehen.

03:13:13 Ich frage mich mit, wie viel of a nerd ich habe. Oblivion versucht, L-Star zu nehmen. Wir wissen, dass es auch ein Auspuff von Damage macht, auch mit Al-Bad. Jetzt versuchen sie zu cleanen ein paar Pfeifen. Die L-Star ist gut für das, aber es ist gut für das, einfach nur ein Auspuff. Die L-Star ist gut für das, einfach nur ein Auspuff. Die Blast-Radiusz hat es. Sie bekommen die Final-Kills auf Sertemper.

03:13:41 Unfortunately for Tempo, it's been a real learning process, this Pro League. Now, unfortunately, you're going to see the third party appear. It's going to be Flatt coming to clean things up. Flatt, with their internet back, starting to push in and starting to be aggressive on a team that they knew was going to be very weak, as Oblivion might be seeing and looking into an Oblivion shortly.

03:13:59 Looks like Akimbo ist vielleicht vielleicht zu können, aber was solltest du hier machen? Du könntest vielleicht craften banners, aber in diesem Bereich wird es schwierig sein, aber das könnte natürlich sein, dass er sich auf einen Weg geht. Ich weiß nicht, ob er findet ein Fellowship. Das sind drei Lord of the Rings-Refencers, und ich habe dich, Stick. Ich bin wirklich sorry. Ich weiß nicht, was er am meisten macht mich über das ist, dass er mit einem Buster-Sword ist, und du gehst. Es ist einfach sacrilegisch zu tun. Faye ist jetzt in der Kampf, und...

03:14:25 They need to win this one. It's as simple as that. FaZe need a game here. They need to be aggressive. They need KP as well as placement points if they want to be in a reasonable, and I say reasonable, not exceptional position at the end of today. They want to siege this building, and inside of this building is going to be Team Cream, but they can't get in for now. FaZe want to though. Look at it. They're just...

03:14:46 Aber jetzt, mit der Barrikade zu kommen, das ermöglicht sie zu nehmen. Sie müssen sie nicht so schnell machen. Look where the circle ist. Sie haben Zeit, aber vielleicht haben sie einen kleinen Weg in die ground. Sie wissen, dass eine andere Team ist ziemlich nahe. Ich denke, es ist Native Gaming, die wir close genug haben, um diese Kampf zu führen. Die Krim haben sich nicht aus dem Geburtstag getrennt, aber es ist nicht wie sie sind. Aber es ist natürlich...

03:15:10 Und die schwierige Position zu spielen, von low ground hier zu nehmen, zu nehmen, ist nicht so fun. Aber look at Native, sie sind fast warten, warten, warten, warten, für die Nox zu passieren. Ja, Native ist nur ein Duo, natürlich, so sie werden warten, für eine Möglichkeit. Ein Third-Party hier kann wirklich, wirklich groß sein für sie. Wenn sie haben, wenn sie die Banner als auch, dann werden sie vielleicht ein bisschen mehr in die Zone gehen. Rambo, glaube ich, er war, er war, er war, er war, er war, er war, er war, er war, er war.

03:15:37 But FaZe will fight this. You can see they're not happy, they're not content. They know that they are under pressure and that a fight will change. Maybe their momentum is going into the final moments of this last game, if they can get there. But it looks also like an evac tower has been put down and they might be thinking about leaving. Just get out of there. Sometimes when the fight goes on too long, sometimes it is just about escaping. As our one caustic team, we just had a little...

03:16:02 Eye of the Eagle on just to check in and see how they're doing. And it seems like they are fine at the moment. Flat eliminated. It's going to be TSM who take them down. 55 seconds until round three closes. So Faze and Cream, they do need to start thinking about this. Fine, oh my, one, three, two. One, three, two, good, but not a knock.

03:16:19 Natives time it.

03:16:46 Absolutely perfectly. And they're going to be delighted with this because as you mentioned, a duo, they can get some loot and there is always the potential of getting a third player back up if they have the banner. Maybe the last can escape as now TSM, we take a look towards what's happening in their scenario. It's going to be Van Verhulst does do the damage and does stay alive as Oblivion get eliminated.

03:17:08 Der Mann ist ein Terminator, wenn es die individuellen Flights gibt. Es ist einfach als das. Er hat beide Banners auch. Er hat eine Option für einen Respawn in. Die Frage ist, ob er jemand close genug ist, dass das Respawn in den Fall ist. Er ist nur für Verholtz, mit dem Respawn in. Er ist nur für Verholtz, mit einem 1V1, mit dem Krim Player in fronten. Aber Landslide ist wo wir gehen. Und auf dem High Ground, wie wir schon erwähnt haben, ist der Ape Gang. Und sie...

03:17:32 Wir spielen Rampart, so das ist ein sehr guter Legend zu haben auf diesem Hike. Die Wallen, die ein bisschen von Damage Output wird, und es gibt auch ein bisschen mehr Coverage von einem Team Farmer in der Distance. Ich wirklich will Verholz, um die E-E zu truly become Van Verholz, und um die Dutch Overlord, die wir wissen, dass er könnte. Ich imagine Verholz taking a Penalty und absoluten Smashing it in der Mitte.

03:17:56 Circle start to close in now and Dark Veils are having to be used from some of these teams they're rotating, Native being one of those by the way. Eternal are going to be forcing their way in from the west but Skirt and Dark Zero not going to be too far behind.

03:18:09 Some of these teams are going to be forced together in their Rotate. When you're crossing open space in Landslide, again, similar to Epicenter, there is cover available, but after you reach that cover, if you're forced out of it, you're going to have to try and play like Gladiator, almost, of getting to the next point of interest just to stay alive. You know what's crazy? Who's in the best position in Zone right now? Oxygen Esports are in a fantastic position. Optic Gaming might be the only team who can really upset them.

03:18:36 As they're moving through the train tunnel and might have a little bit of an angle, but also a team who could upset anyone right now, it's gonna be Complex E. Why? Kraber in the hands of Monsoon. Put some montage clips on the board. Four bullets, plenty to work with. That could be four kills for Monsoon. It could be four knocks.

03:18:55 Oxygen are going to be in a spot, though, to potentially, even if they don't win this game, right? If they can just get to, like, the last five, they should be able to win this entire lobby and in the overall standings. So Cream just got eliminated because Silent H&L was trying to rat his way inside and just exploded next to the frag grenade that was thrown by Phony, I believe it was, from SSG. It just looked funny in the background. I'm just going to hold it in. I'm sorry. No, you're absolutely fine. I had a little giggle as well, but...

03:19:22 Oh. Oh. Oh.

03:19:37 All these northern teams are going to have to move south, so Dark Veils, Evac Towers, whatever you've got to traverse this open ground, use it now. Well, a really smart decision here from Monsoon. Doesn't connect with the shot, but just using that Evac, it's not about rotation sometimes, it's about getting information. Just went halfway up and decided that he's got enough of a lay of the land to try and plan a rotation for his squad. The shots aren't quite hitting for now, but one bullet can change everything, and he's only got one bullet left. Will it be a golden one?

03:20:05 Always have to tee it up as a maybe, but Complexity out in 11th. Down to our last 10 now. So everyone getting two placement points. Native in a real scrap at the moment. Crook's taking a lot of damage there, but Studi might be able to help out. But look at the position that we see some of these squads in and the ability that they have to work with. Skr. Albreleli has a rat.

03:20:34 Ich meine, sie sind in 20er Position und ich glaube nicht, dass Albrelli seinen Weg zu Top 5 wäre, es würde sehr viel helfen hier. Ich wollte ihn nur 8 mehr dmg so we can get Purple Armour. So close, so frustrierend, wenn wir ihn mit ihm an. Aber GKS!

03:20:47 Already won one game today. Can they win another? Native Gaming will be eliminated as well. Dark Zero taking damage. And Abril Ali is a solo. Takes down Jem Burton. So he's still causing problems. Maybe helping out his old TSM buddies a little bit here. We're taking down a Dark Zero player. But Naughty also in the kill feed here for GKS that we're watching. He's got that 30-30 on height. And that is a problem.

03:21:07 So Oxygen still alive in 1st, Dark Zero still alive in 2nd. After that, we're looking all the way down to 7th for GKS. So a real opportunity for GKS to start to send themselves towards that top 5 and catch the likes of TSM. Elevate might be a little bit too far for them, but a victory still makes it possible to push themselves into the top 4 as Drop-In Gaming eliminated in 9th. And it's not a bad position for GKS, but they will have to drop off this high ground.

03:21:32 Always a worry when you have to drop. One team who doesn't have to drop though is going to be Oxygen. Look at the cover they have. If they can hold this stairwell, which is going to be the most important thing for them, they've got the catalyst to help with that, with the piercing spikes as well, so they're going to get information to slow anyone who tries to play off the back of that staircase. They can see all of the lobby in front of them. They will be able to command so much space, but OpTic are the only team, like I mentioned, who are going to be playing above them that could be a problem. Skirt are eliminated. Aberloy gave a hell of an effort in this last game, but he will fall as we're down to our top seven.

03:22:01 Oxygen would have to be eliminated now for Dark Zero to really have a chance of catching them in first place, so it's looking good for Oxygen, looking likely that they will be our overall winners in A and B as Eternal start to make their move, but oh wow, they're so quickly forced back as they just run into an absolute wall of bullets and suddenly Carter's the last remaining player and it looks like Eternal about to be sent back to the lobby as seven squads are about to become six. Can't surprise for now.

03:22:27 But by the time I finish my sentence, the sentence could be changed. Eternal will be eliminated. GK is still using the height of the crane to rain down shots. Chaotic with the car in his hand. Not the best long-range weapon, but the Thermite combined with it is doing enough damage to help them maybe carve a path towards where this zone is going to be going. Oxygen now looks like they're making their move. They've escaped from the tunnel and have taken the high ground and Optic need to be careful.

03:22:52 By the way, GKS have found a ledge. They haven't quite had to drop as Dark Zero will fall. We're into the top five and suddenly GKS are only one point behind fifth place. They are bursting into the top five in the overalls here, but it's all about oxygen as they look to try and get a third victory. Dark Bear will come down, but the stick is going to be everything for the damage. Pretty sure they got the stick there inside of them.

03:23:13 The train car onto an Optic player saw 75 pop up, but they can't play off the back of it thanks to the Dark Veil coming in from Optic, which slows down their push altogether. But the good news is there is time on their side now, Oxygen. They can play this slowly, and they know Optic don't have that available next time to try and use. Optic also know this. They want to try and push themselves.

03:23:34 Round six about to close. Five squads. There is a solo rat though. D&O Gaming have a solo, but GKS, I think I'm well aware of that below them. So I think, sadly, for the last remaining player, it's probably going to be sent off. But it is the Caustic. Krust can at least go out with a little bit of smelly gas alongside himself.

03:23:54 Drop now comes in. GKS looking to go back to back here. D&O will be eliminated. Elsewhere in the lobby. Optik still here. Oxygen still here as well. And Ape Gang, who are up on that height, make up the full complement of teams that we have alive. Optik make their move on to GKS now. They're gonna chomp on them. They're gonna Ape them.

03:24:12 Und Ape, sie soll, als Oktik geht die Dämme, aber drei Quatschen bleiben, und Oktik verliert einen. Und wer hat das alles öffnet? Oksigen E-Sports, als sie definitiv warten können. GKS eliminated, und Oksigen könnte einen in, denn Ape Gang versuchen, die Oktik-Gaming zu haben.

03:24:27 Fights still going down there as the 3v3v3. Optik still alive as the 3. Apegang still alive as the 3. The difference I think here, the difficulty here for Oxygen is they're very wary that they don't have the best armors in the world. So if they're gonna commit, they have to commit strong and they don't really see that window. Optik Gaming will be eliminated. Apegang trying to hold them off. Oxygen, no, they have to make their play right now.

03:24:47 Big play for Oxygen. They've got the conduit as well. They have the ability to win this fight. Yes, they've got the Dark Veil down, so they don't have to force it straight away. They need to start thinking about positioning here. Try and take an angle. See if you can surprise this team. Reeds has the chance to poke and get information as well.

03:25:05 Und ApeGang wird das Konjuw-Alt durchgeführt. Und sie hat sich die Position unter dem, was jetzt super ist. Es ist genial, denn jetzt ApeGang haben sie auf den Hight. Sie müssen auf den Cross-Hairs gehen, und das ist genau das, was sie machen. Die Differenz ist doch ein Digi-Differenz. Sie sehen, die Smokes gehen. Und jetzt Oxygen, sie starten zu fallen. Vayner ist noch alive. Kann er das für die Squad? Die Antwort ist nicht. Und ApeGang wird die Differenzieren.

03:25:33 mit dem Final Win hier auf World's Edge. Und das bringt Apegang in den Top 7, so wir wussten, dass diese Mid-Table-Teams eine Chance haben, die sich sogar noch weiter zu pushen, und Apegang macht das einfach so. Und mit einer Composition, das ist einfach ein bisschen anders. Same als Amelie, in der finalen Spiel, ein Team, die nicht nur die Standard-Comp, ist zu finden. Wir haben nicht die drei Matches für Oxygen, das ist ein bisschen disappointing für sie, aber...

03:25:59 They are still going to be the lobby victors in the overall standing, so I don't think they'll mind too much. No bonus point for Oxygen today, unfortunately, but pretty sure that they'll be happy with the position that they do end up in. It was a very strong performance from them. Just for a second, I thought they made such a smart play to somehow manage to get underneath Apegang, which gave them the ability and the vision.

03:26:20 when Apegang had to jump off, that they might get those first shots in. And of course, when you're landing off a fight, your gun's going to take a few seconds to come up itself and you're going to have those first shots. But the difference is the digi difference, right? We talked about it all season. You don't have a digi. When the smokes go down, it causes problems. It makes it so much more difficult in those fights. And that's exactly what we saw. And congratulations to Apegang. We mentioned how close it was outside of the top two or three. Apegang might have just catapulted their way up the standings from where they were to somewhere a lot more respectable.

03:26:47 Yeah, they really did. And there was a few teams who were probably in the top five who were dead, who were sweating a little bit with other teams able to maybe overtake and leapfrog them. But they'll be probably happy when they see that final result. I'll let the overall standings come into fruition before we start talking about it. But it is going to be a good position for some of these squads. I mean, we have to talk about Oxygen in general, but I'm very impressed with other squads like SSG, for example, who performed excellently today.

03:27:12 Well, speaking of stand-ins, it's time for us to take a little look on how that match did go. Ape Gang, 22 points in total, 10 kills alongside the 12 placement points. Oxygen though, it's all about the placement points for them. Only one kill, which is always a bit of a surprise when you see Oxygen, because they're usually a pretty kill-heavy team if they get into that final circle. 10 points will do them though. Optic Gaming, that might have just saved the day for Optic Gaming. 12 points for them, 5 kills alongside the 7 placement points. And elsewhere, you're looking down, Dark Zero again, even though we...

03:27:41 Ich habe noch nicht überrascht über sie, die ganze Spiel nicht in die Position zu geben. Sie haben noch 7 Punkte gespielt.

03:27:51 Yeah, and they still find themselves in the top three overall, I believe. I think they're going to be top two, but wait for that confirmation. Native not able to really put enough points to push them into the top ten in the overalls. And in the bottom ten, a few teams who really needed a performance in match six were not able to find it. It's a pretty flat day for FaZe, for Temper, for Skrt. Not for Flat. Flat actually had a fairly good day. I think Flat found themselves in around 11th position, so I think they'll be pretty happy with that, especially...

03:28:21 considering the internet issues they had during Match 4. Well, the games are done. We'll bring Stella back in to talk about what we just saw and to kind of wrap ourselves up today. But, I mean, seeing a little bit of a different ending there, Ape Gang, with the win in our final game today. Yeah, I want to point out they didn't move that entire match. They just stayed there, which was great for them. I mean, their landing zone was a great boon for them in that.

03:28:44 in that match. And I was a little bittersweet because I really wanted Oxygen Esports to get that third win in the series today. But you know what? Kudos to Apegang. I mean, they had 10 kills, which is incredible. And I was very surprised that Oxygen only had one. So great job to Apegang and all the teams that participated today.

03:29:02 Also, I do want to publicly apologise to Onset, because he was right with the bonus point situation. It's very rare, right, that he is right with this one. I am going to fully hands up and say I am as surprised as you are. I am just as surprised as you are. Usually you are 100% correct when it comes to this stuff, and this is a... I will say...

03:29:22 Ja, wir waren so close to that.

Analyse der Final Circles und Teamstrategien

03:29:45

03:29:45 Ich wollte es sehen, weil ich wirklich wollte, aber es ist alles klar. Es ist alles nächstes Mal. Aber, ihr wisst, wir schauen uns jetzt an die Serie zu sehen und schauen wie alle sind. Oh, my bad, wir werden gleich in die Final Circles gehen. So, sorry. Es ist Zeit für uns zu haben, einen Blick auf das, dann. Das war das Spiel das Oxygen gewinnen, von auf dem High Ground. Wir sahen SSG gegen DZ. Und dann, of course, wir haben OXG auf dem High Ground. Und ich will sagen...

03:30:14 Akronyms are wonderful, before I get into the analysis of this final circle. But it was, of course, Oxygen that had to move last, and Arc Zero recognised that. They tried to force the fight onto SSG. A couple of knocks went down on either side, and it was a very, very simple third party for Oxygen Esports. Probably one of the easiest situations you could find yourselves in in one of these ARGS lobbies down. Yeah, I think there was a chance that maybe the damage could have been done quick enough.

03:30:38 by the team that they had to fight against in the end, SSG. But because SSG lost 1 to Dark Zero, it was always going to be just easy pickings from this point for Oxygen. Oxygen almost helped SSG, but did enough to make sure that it was going to be an easier fight as they came into it. And I think they'll be pretty happy with being able to pick that one up, especially considering their rotation in match number 4. And then match number 5, I mean...

03:31:01 Es war eine andere Richtung für Oxygen, aber sie waren nicht so weit, und sie sahen sich auszupassen. Aber eine andere Richtung, es war etwas zu Ende, aber es war eine andere Richtung. Es war eine andere Richtung für Epicenter, und es war GKS, die in der gleiche Position der Oxygen waren, wo sie nur hoping, dass eine von den Schuern, die sich zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst, um es zuerst.

03:31:31 Ja, wir sahen DNO und Elevate einfach nur in der Kampf, um das extra KP zu bekommen, wie Onset war, und sie kamen, aber natürlich kamen. Aber natürlich kamen, sie kamen in 2nd place. Aber GK kamen hier sehr schnell. Ich meine, sie kamen in den Rest von der Rubel. Ja, ich meine, das ist zwei Beispielen von wahrscheinlich den easiesten Games zu gewinnen, wenn man diese Final Momente hat. Wir sehen uns Crazy in Circles, das ist großartig. Es war ein sehr schweres Zone für alle zu kommen, was du sah, was du sah, was du sah.

03:32:00 Ich glaube, wir haben so viel Platz zu spielen. Aber das Endgame war wahrscheinlich ein meiner Lieblings-Fähigkeiten, die wir heute sehen haben. Ich denke, Ape Gang hat den Kampf gegen Optik Gaming, hat den Kampf gegen Optik Gaming gewonnen. Die Wahl kommt von Oxygen, und ich dachte, dass Oxygen hat so eine smarte Spiel gemacht. Ich habe mich auf den Weg gebracht, und ich habe mich auf den Weg gebracht.

03:32:17 Ape Gang, die sind auf den Topf der Tracks. Ich dachte, sie hat es 1, aber die Digi-difference ist, wir sehen, Oxygen, dass sie relativ schnell sind. Sie haben nicht die Digi-threats, die nicht die Loot-difference haben, die Ape Gang hat auf Height, haben sie ein paar Fights selbst gemacht. Das macht es schwierig, richtig? Sie können durch die Smokes und die Damage nicht so schnell gehen. Oxygen, Sie sehen, wird in hier sehen, dass sie die ersten Shots haben, aber die Differenz ist, ich denke, ein Smoke geht hier nur für einen Moment. Vielleicht hat es Vane, die Helden zu helfen. Ape Gang, ein bisschen hier, ein bisschen hier. Und dann, wir sehen, die Final Shots sind hier.

03:32:46 Ja, wir hörten Church in der Halftime sagen, dass sie die Diggis vielleicht verändert werden, vielleicht in der Season 20, denn sie sind so ein großer Faktor in wie die Fortschritte werden, besonders mit der Prevalence von Bangalore. Wir hatten eine 95%-Pick-Rate von Bangalore in einer dieser Spiele heute, aber das sind die letzten Standings. Stellar, wie wir alluded zu haben, Oxygen wird die Charge bringen. 78 Punkte auf dem Board, aber Dark Zero takes 2nd.

03:33:13 Ja, und SSG ist nicht weit entfernt, und es ist ELEVATE. Und es ist wirklich unglaublich, dass Oxygen und E-Sports genommen haben, in einer der Gäste, und sie kamen mit 78 totaler Punkte zurück. Das ist unglaublich. Sehr impressionante von Oxygen. Die Veränderung von POI ist crazy, wie es läuft, richtig? Ein bisschen confidence, Barama hat sich gefühlt. Und es all wirklich startet da. Aber ich denke, es gibt ein paar Teams zu reden. ELEVATE ist auch in den Top 4 wieder.

03:33:40 Ja, und du sagst über 8th Gang, ich meine, sie sind in 7th Platz.

03:34:08 Ja, ich meine, das ist immer sehr gut, aber ich glaube, Komplexity hat sich sehr gut gemacht. Und ich glaube, Komplexity hat eine sehr gute Idee, und ich glaube, Komplexity hat, besonders mit einem ihrer Team-Mate kinder zu einem Disadvantage haben und eine Sub für den ersten Spiel, Gaskin. Ja, ich glaube, das wird immer sehr gut sein, aber ich glaube, Komplexity hat es gut gemacht. Und, ihr wisst, 8th Position ist nichts zu beendet. Ich glaube, es wird...

03:34:34 Und dann, ein bisschen weiter.

03:35:03 Ja, ich würde mich ein bisschen Angst haben, wenn ich da. Aber alle Punkte von 11 bis 20. Sie sind alle so nahe zusammen. Es ist jeder's Spiel, um die ersten zehn Teams zu gehen. Und wir sehen, dass D&O und Faze noch in den Top 20 sind, also das ist gut für sie.

03:35:29 It's great for now, but just remember, a few of the teams just in behind them have only played, well, have played, I should say, one less game day. So that might change very, very quickly for them. A couple of teams are keeping my eye on, by the way, for the next game day. Exit, they need a day. And I'm sure they'll be able to put one in when it really does matter. Because one performance from them, they can completely change things around. We see how tight it is. One, top four, top three, top two, top one. But Exit, and all of a sudden we're talking about them maybe being a contender to go back to LAN and maybe being a contender for a title.

03:35:58 Yeah, I think all the points being so close together, it really shows that the top 10 or top 20 can be anyone's game. So it's going to be really interesting to see the matches next week. And do you guys want to speculate on who might be the top three? I'm going to start with you on set. Top three of the next set of matches. Next set of matches? I thought you were going to say top three in North America when it comes to the end of it. And I was like, that's a much easier question. I prefer that one. Oh, really? You think so? Okay. 100%. And do you know what? I'm going to change the question.

03:36:27 How dare you? At least I didn't get shooed. I'm being very rude today. I'd like to apologize, actually. I don't know what's got into me. I knighted you and it just went to your head. I think that's what it was. I apologize. I'll answer your question. Go on, then. Thank you. I can see Moist and Fury performing well. We saw in the overall standings how close they were. So when they start to get involved, if they're playing next week, then they're going to be in...

03:36:56 Ich glaube, Moist ist sicherlich ein Thema. Ich glaube, Moist ist sicherlich ein Thema.

03:37:20 Which is Vayne from Oxygen. I mean, Oxygen Esports just performed incredibly out of their minds today, kind of brutalizing half the lobbies, if we're real. I mean, they won two matches today, and they were just able to work so well together. It wasn't just about the damage and kills, but also about their survivability and ability to adapt to difficult situations, which we saw a lot of the circles were not in their favor. But the rotations were on point, and like Gaskin said, their patience was a huge boon to them in winning.

03:37:49 die zwei matchen und gewinnen Punkte. Aber wir können nicht die Dämpfe und Dämpfe aussehen, denn sie waren sehr beeindruckend.

03:37:57 The points really speak for themselves and the current standings. But I do think that the circles today testing specific teams' abilities to switch up strategies and showcase their game knowledge and confidence in Apex was key in Oxygen feeling really confident. And I think that's why we should name Vayne, I love this pose, the MVP of today on set. I love that, yeah, 100%. I think you look at his kills and assists.

03:38:22 11 a piece shows that he's outputting damage as well as finishing off kills and by the way Vayne is quite I would say a quiet character and I love that we've got this picture for him because it kind of like lies about his personality I think he's gonna be feeling like that after the performance today and understandably so I think he's had an amazing day I think the oxygen will feel I think a combination of happy and also a little bit relieved after what has been the first two quiet game days for them and I think this is them back to form and it's what

03:38:51 Ja, und ich bin so glücklich für Sie, weil wir über sie haben. Ja, und ich bin so glücklich für Sie, weil wir über sie gesprochen haben, und sie sind genau das gemacht. Und also, guty für Sie, wir werden auch zu reden, zu Reeds, der ist gerade für uns, und wir werden eine kurze Interview. Hallo! Hallo, wie sind Sie? Gut!

03:39:15 What's changed since the last two match days? I mean, you've probably learned a lot from playing against the two groups. And what did you apply from that to today's matches? Yeah, so the biggest change we made was switching to Barrow from Command Center. And also just like the play style of like instead of barely rotating everything, because we had two really good like zone PIs. But it wasn't really our play style. It wasn't our strength. So we switched back to Barometer and...

03:39:44 Wir spielen ein bisschen mehr Edge, entweder in Fights auf Edge oder in guten Spots auf 3rd-Round consoles. Ja, das ist die größte Veränderung wir haben.

03:39:54 I want to talk a little bit about the Switch. By the way, hi, Reid. Hope you're doing well, my friend. And because you made the change to Command and it didn't work for you for whatever reason. We won't go into why, but the change back to Barometer today, it looked like it completely revitalized you as a team. Is that just because you're so ingrained on the macro and how you want to play from Barometer? Or is it something else that is just a comfort?

03:40:19 Ich glaube, es ist eine große Herausforderung.

03:40:40 Und du war sehr glücklich, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen, um es zu machen.

03:41:02 Close to making history in North America, getting a bonus point. But I mean, talk me through your squad. What do you think makes the difference from Oxygen? What is it that sets you apart from the rest of the lobby?

03:41:14 I think it's a lot of our chemistry together. Me and Aiden have been playing together since console days. And then we picked up Vayne. It was a perfect fit for our team. And yeah, just a lot of chemistry, a lot of playing together. And I think that's the biggest thing, yeah. Figuring out our roles over time. We definitely had a rough patch, right? We were trying out some stuff, like adjusting roles on the team and things like that.

03:41:42 Ja, kind of did a full circle back to how we were playing before. And yeah, that's the result. Yeah, so obviously we saw in one of the matches where you did kind of pull back with your team and you chose to watch the last two teams fight. So what I'm curious, what is the clear sign for your team to push a fight?

03:42:05 Um, the thing about our team is I feel like we don't need a lot of entry damage to it. It's really, like, it's a decision that we make based off of macro, like, will this help us, you know, get a spot or something? And if it does, like, we don't need damage, we will just push you. And if we do get damage and we don't need the spot, if it's good enough damage, like, we'll also just push you. Um, yeah.

Strategie, Teamchemie und Ausblick auf zukünftige Spiele

03:42:32

03:42:32 I love that. I'll jump in with one more question. Sorry, Stella, to jump in. Yeah, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. Oh my God. Yeah, go ahead. What can we expect on World's Edge from you guys? Because it felt like today on Stormpoint, you went back to Barometer and you got that win and you had some really solid games. It felt like your confidence kind of flowed into World's Edge. Talk me through some of those zones on World's Edge because they were some pretty rough zones to try and navigate towards the end. I mean, we saw, I think, three or four teams alive as Zone 6 started to close, which is something we...

03:42:59 Not familiar with seeing in World's Edge. Usually we have a lot more teams alive. But how do you play those particular zones in comparison to ones where there's a lot more playable space?

03:43:09 Ja, so ich denke, es war ein vieles Momentum. Wir kamen zu Gold's Edge wirklich gut. Und ich weiß nicht, wie wir in die Zonen sind. Ich denke, es war eine Southeclimatizer, Nearsurvei oder so. Ja, das Zonen, ich weiß nicht, wie wir in die Zonen sind. Wir sind einfach in die Zonen und in der Mitte der Lobby. Wir sind nicht zu viel Aufmerksamkeit. Und wir haben eine gute Third-Party.

03:43:38 Ja. Wie we play the Lobby a different based on how many teams are live? I don't really know. I don't know how to answer that, to be honest. It's kind of just intuition, I guess. Well, thank you so much for trying to explain it. I mean, listen, there's a reason why you're the pro player and we're here to ask you the question. So thank you so much for taking time out of your day to speak with us. Thank you. It was a pleasure.

03:44:07 Oh man, I feel like I could just talk to these pro players all day because I'm so curious about, there's so much stuff that goes on in the moment that I don't think I could pay attention to and it's a whole other beast on set. I think it's completely true. I will say that I think Oxygen of one of the best stories in Apex Legends, I think that lineup in particular, I know that Jayhawks covered it extensively, did a great piece at Champs as well.

03:44:32 Vielen Dank.

03:45:02 Yeah, absolutely. Gaskin, how did you feel about the matches today? I mean, obviously you and Onset worked your butts off today, bringing all of the action to us. But how did you feel about today's matches compared to last week's and the last series?

03:45:16 Yeah, I mean, I'll compare it, I guess, to the last time we saw A and B going up against each other, and we saw kind of similar teams show that they can still get it done in this lobby, but Oxygen was the biggest difference that we had. Clearly, that's the easy storyline to go with here, and I'll follow Mark a little bit in just that you heard. He was even talking about the console days, right? I remember watching an arena tournament where these guys were competing whilst playing on console, and I was like, you know, this...

03:45:41 This looks a little bit suspicious, some of the shots that they're hitting, but they were just that good, and then they turn it into playing in Battle Royale. It's been an incredible rise, and I think that they have shown great versatility in the way that they approach the game, but also the hardships that they've been through, been able to change certain things, and as you mentioned, it's always good to pick their brain and see kind of why they made these changes of POIs, why they try and approach the game in this way, and very happy for Oxygen in their rise.

03:46:06 Yeah, me too. Listen, I didn't go into this thinking that Oxygen was going to be one of my teams to watch going forward, but now they are. And especially with all of their insight, they are just an incredible team. But thank you to you both for speaking with me today and bringing us all the action. We are going to be taking a look at the teams coming up next week.

03:46:27 ...who are going to be playing, which is going to be Groups A and C facing off yet again. I'm super excited. And that is going to start with EMEA at 10 a.m. PT or 6 p.m. GMT, if you're in that time zone. And it is going to be...

03:46:41 Wir haben U-Aim zurück, und wir sahen sie spielen, und es war einfach unglaublich. Ich meine, sie sind eine der besten Teams, die ich habe gesehen habe, und wir haben immer diskutiert, und ich denke, sie werden auch ihren A-game bringen. Und nicht vergessen, N.A., es wird auch die nächsten Woche, am Februar 10, am 3.00 p.m. PT, oder 11.00 p.m. GMT. So all in der gleichen Zeit, ein Ton of Apex, Aurora ist zurück, und wir werden sie sehen, sie dominieren.

03:47:11 Hopefully. But, of course, another team that we have to talk about.

03:47:16 I think it was Gaskin and I talking about it as well. We are going to be seeing Moist come back. So that's going to be an interesting team to watch in NA, especially since we do have Groups A and B. We do have their roster up and we did get to see how they performed today coming back after the round robin run. So very excited to see how the action is going to shape up. And again, that is February 10th next weekend. Mark your calendars.

03:47:41 And again, it starts with EMEA at 10 a.m. PT or 6 p.m. GMT.

03:47:47 All right, well, thank you so much for watching today, y'all. Just in case you miss any of the action, don't worry, we've got you covered. You can watch all the highlights on Play Apex Esports on X or YouTube and Twitch. And thank you to everyone for watching. Thank you to our producers. Thank you to our amazing players who played out of their minds today and bringing us incredible action to cast. Thank you, my casters. And you know what? We'll see you on the dropship. See you next time.

03:48:18 ...dann durch die Lowground hier, das ist RISK. Complexity, Dark Zero, SSG, alle in fantastische Spots. Und Snipe Down ist ein Confidence Player. ... und du wirst absoluten Buzzen von der anderen Seite.
