00:00:00

00:05:52 Welcome to the Apex Legends Global Series North American Broadcast for Match Day number nine. Nine, the magic number. We'll talk about those later on, but if you know what I mean from last broadcast in EMEA, it means the number that you need to make it to those playoffs. And this being the last day before Regional Finals to do so. Which teams will find themselves on the right side of history and which teams?

00:06:18 Like we saw in EMEA, we'll be going home for another sleepless night knowing just one thing would have gone different and they would have been playing next week. All of that coming up in just a moment. So get excited, get hyped. Thank you for watching everyone here on Play Apex. We love you. We can't wait to get into the action today. I'm not alone. I'm your host, Rain Day, and I'll be joined again by Onsen and Gasket. Mark, though, what a day we saw in EMEA North America. Tall task to match the action there. Yeah, EMEA was...

00:06:47 It's been the story all split for Amir, right? It goes down to the last game. It goes down to the final points. We had two teams actually tied on the same amount of points that ended up qualifying for that regional final. So that's quite insane when you think about it, how tight it actually was coming down to those final moments. But now we turn our attention to North America, right? B and C in the lobby. And I think we're going to have something very similar. The cutoff, of course, is the same here for the regional finals with top 20. But there's a few more land spots available. So everybody's got points to pick up today. And you don't want to be one of those teams who misses out.

00:07:22 I'm gonna keep going for now, and I'm gonna talk about Dan Gaskin, because Dan Gaskin is gonna pick up from here. Dan, how are you feeling, buddy? I'm feeling great. I just actually like to stare down. You gave the camera one of the favorite things I've seen so far. I can't wait for North America. North America always entertains, very different. We go from region to region, but certainly NA today. As you mentioned, there are more spots in LAN, but we still have to get to 20 teams for regional finals.

00:07:46 Somehow we have to send some teams home. And there's going to be some big teams getting eliminated here today, Evan. There certainly will be. And that's just kind of the story. The tip of the iceberg. People watching at home, praying for the downfall. And teams here right now with infinite possibilities. We're live.

00:08:03 Anything is possible. And having watched teams like Vex miss out on just a couple of placements, you have to treat it like this is your last game, even though we've got six coming up for us as well. Match Day 8 set up all the action, though, and that was yesterday. If you missed it, let me break down what it was. Do you think Furia? That's what we called it, because Furia would steal the spotlight later on.

00:08:26 Und dann geht's, sie sind nicht die Star der Show. Pioneers würden...

00:08:53 Resetting and, of course, making sure that they can get the job done. While DSG grabbed another one. And then look at this one. Here's the one that I think started to become interesting. Wouldn't we see this fantastic moment from Yuff? Would they do something unthinkable? They had done so well in our previous match day that we thought, well, if they could match that effort, it would be incredible. But ultimately, the overall standings would end up in...

Key Teams and Strategies to Watch in the ALGS Pro League

00:09:18

00:09:18 Yeah, I think the task for Furia today is very, very simple, right? It's qualify for land. Get the points that we need on the board to not let us sweat going into those.

00:09:47 Regional Finals, which we always know there's a few surprises to be thrown up. Moving into the second page though.

00:09:52 You want to be in this top 20. These teams at the moment are holding down those spots. The likes of CCE and Oxygen Esports are going to be sweating as they will not be playing today. So they will be preying on the downfall of those teams in and around them to make sure that they are in that regional final. These are the teams who are chasing at the moment and not Moist are one of those teams who are trying to force their way in to that regional finals. It's very likely that they will if they play some consistent Apex Legends today. But for the likes of DSG, I mean, it's looking like a

00:10:22 Pretty tall order and almost impossible at this point for them to force their way in. And the other element is we're certainly just having this conversation beforehand as we kind of zoom in on what's going to be happening today. Even if you're making that regional final, unless you are a team of the caliber of NotMoist or DSG who's proven they can win in certain match point type situations, it's still going to be very hard to find your way into what EMEA was, a top eight. But North America...

00:10:48 Speaking of the magic numbers, this is the lay of the land.

00:11:17 Just roughly how much you're going to need to advance to regional finals and how much you're going to have to get to get over to split two playoffs. Of course, you can see it's around 80. Should be good for Furia. But it is going to be a situation where you've got a lot more places to fight for for regional finals here than we saw in EMEA. In EMEA, it was only like four places that were still available. As you can see, there is a lot more here for North America. So it is going to be very tight down at the bottom. And Onset already mentioned it.

00:11:44 Teams like Oxygen, who have already played yesterday and watching on 44 points, they are going to be biting their nails. They are going to be very worried about those teams catching up below them.

00:11:52 And there's not a lot of optimism as well for some of these teams like that. Again, you could see the energy on Twitter or X. Some of these players tweeting out how they're a little disappointed at what's happened so far, especially now that things are out of their hands. One team that we thought, well, it was out of their hands, they had their star, Imperial Howe, leave and join Falcons, who, by the way, broke the graph we just showed you earlier on. But they found a way to figure out how to be successful. It's been phenomenal to see TSM grow, and they're currently sitting in fifth place overall.

00:12:22 Dan. Yeah, I mean, with all the talk about Falcons, about SSG, we forget that TSM still features two LAN champions who, they seem to have found their comfort zone with this roster. Zap coming in, now IGLing seems to be...

00:12:34 Very comfortable as well in this position. I think it was a little bit iffy to begin with, but alongside two tried and tested veterans, they have now found a rhythm that really works for them. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster. It's been up and down for TSM ever since, but I think that's to be expected when you have a POI draft, right? You're going to have some match weeks where you have a good Storm Point drop, but a bad World's Edge drop, and all it takes is a couple of dodgy zones, and you're not going to be performing well. But one thing that TSM have done very successfully is consistently find themselves towards the late game. They are a team.

00:13:04 that get in those strong positions, that can be a threat with their teamfights, but also just very strong with the areas they put themselves in to stop other teams forcing their way into the better priority positions. They kind of hold them back, they space themselves out well, and they have turned into now another contender for who is going to be not only getting to LAN, but also when we get to LAN, can we see TSM take another victory? I don't think it's out of the realms of possibility, even though they have lost.

00:13:31 TSM nicht in das Gespräch, ehrlich gesagt.

00:13:53 It was, it was, uh, the world was breaking, you know, no one knew what was going to happen next. It felt like anything that was unexpected was occurring. So I don't blame some of our fans for being hesitant, but it's nice to see the TSM certainly look like they're going to be represented yet again in Mannheim. Still a little bit of work to do though. A lot of work, I guess today, and especially coming off of match day eight, a team that stole the show, not just key on fighting against in real life situations. His internet went down, had to play at his brother's house, but obviously coming back and finding a way to be.

00:14:22 So successful, Mark. Furia certainly look like they're a team that we need to be focusing more and more on as we head towards our regional finals. Yeah, I mean, shout out to Keon for what he managed to produce yesterday considering the situation and the fact that he had to go and play on a South that's not his and all of that good stuff. And I mean, what a performance it was. If I miss him, I'm going to my brother's house and playing from there full stock because they managed to take home the match day. A huge performance from them. And I think one of the most impressive things about it for me was some of the consistency that we saw from their placings, right? I mean, you're looking across.

00:14:52 Es war ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zweit, ein zwe

00:15:21 auf 81. So you can see what they have to do today. It has to be a very, very good game day, an exceptional game day for them to overtake SSG and put themselves into that second place spot. But that will fill them with confidence, what we saw from them that last match day. And I think these results that you can see in front of you right now kind of show how good FURIA are starting.

00:15:39 Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr, sehr stark für sie. Das Matchday 4 war, ich bin sicher, in und around Madness hatte das Injury, so er war irgendwie zu arbeiten und mehr IRL Probleme, so zu sprechen. Und ich denke, Furio ist sehr gefährlich, und ich freue mich zu sehen, was sie heute.

00:16:02 So many teams to focus on. Furia being one of them. TSM obviously being one of them. And another team that has had an interesting journey I wanted to highlight on. From Optic Gaming and all the way to SKD Mark into the split, there's been an interesting trio who has had to battle through some adversity. Specifically, the man Dropped himself. Now teaming up with Knotz and New Edition, Shuby finding a way for them to talk about their journey when they were a little wounded and how they've been healing from that bleed. Let's go ahead.

00:16:31 And hear a little bit about their journey now as they look to make a recovery heading into playoffs.

00:16:38 Es war ein ganzes Schock für alle, auch mich selbst, dass wir die erste LAN haben. Die Optik will nur missen, sie werden nicht beendet werden. Wir haben eine wirkliche High-High von Champs getroffen. Und dann geht es direkt in die Missing-Lan.

00:17:08 Es war ein sehr massiv, emotionales Rollercoaster. Es hat mich auch sehr an, wie ich als Person bin und ich werde nicht gewinnen. Ich habe meine Hände, und hier sind wir. Wir sind wirklich gut und hoffen, dass wir weitergehen. Ich wusste nicht, wer ich mit dem Spiel war. Ich wusste nicht, wer ich mit dem Spiel war. Aber dann Schubi...

00:17:37 Nacht und I formed Skidmark. Dann ist das wie Bleed Esports. Durch all unsere consistenten performances. Bleed really wanted to pick a sub. I love our consistency, but I want to have that pop-off day with the team. Our goal is, at this point, is to just have that pop-off day. Top 3, top 2 or even win.

00:18:05 So, yeah, that's our next step.

00:18:11 Very much like Alliance and EMEA, they had something to prove, even though they've been performing well. And they certainly have, finding themselves in 8th place right now. But overall, an 8th, a 5th, a 6th, a 5th, and a 6th on their match days. That's excellent. And this is a team that is still looking for that pop-off moment. Will it come today and put them into contention, maybe top 3-ing or top 4-ing overall in North America? Certainly, we'll be watching Dropped, Shuby, and Nox Journey as they get ready to load in to match day number 9.

Faceit Watch and Strategic Map Analysis

00:18:41

00:18:41 But if you want to watch them, maybe you're focused on TSM, or maybe you just got to see if Furia can go back to back with the win. Well, I know where to send you. Face it, watch. You can find, even from our VODs of the matches that have happened in EMEA or the live games that are being played in North America, all of the POVs that you need. Every rotation, and most importantly, every Team Com. Hearing how they communicate is one of the ways to learn how you should communicate and move in Apex Legends. And maybe you're more visual.

00:19:10 Bring up the map screen and just have that on a second tab. Check out Faceit Watch and control the ALGS the way you want. Gentlemen, it is about time to start your engines. Matchday 9 for North America, our last region of the day. Trying to see who qualifies to Mannheim, who makes it to regional finals next week, and ultimately, who steals the show. Ante Gaskin, let's get it going. Let's get this thing going then. Here we go then, everyone. Game number one just around the corner.

00:19:40 Und ich habe zu sagen, Dan, nachdem wir in Amir ein bisschen früher haben, es hat uns perfekt für Nordamerika, weil wir uns nur ein paar Teams haben, die wir wirklich able, zu challengeen, die regionalen Finals sind. Aber hier in Nordamerika, es fühlt sich ein bisschen anders. Es ist eine reale Möglichkeit, für einige Teams zu steigen away, die regionalen Finals sind, als wir starten auf den Tag an Stormpoint.

00:20:01 Ja, ich würde sagen, wir haben vielleicht acht Teams, die können in die Region Finals qualify. Oder acht Spots still available, würde ich sagen. Die meisten von den anderen sollten in die Top-12 sein. Es wird interessant sein, wie gut alle performen. Aber looking at die POI Draft, Teams, die mit den besten Stormpointen haben, werden wir C9 haben. Wir werden die Komplexität haben, als zwei squads, die können vielleicht ein paar Punkte bekommen. Aber als wir wissen, Sie haben eine gute POI.

00:20:30 So you're going to still have to try and find consistency from those POIs, even if you have to travel a long way. Interesting to see that C9 and Complexity have the first two picks. They take the two strongest POIs and looking at their overall stand-ins, right? They're the two teams who are holding on to 10th and 11th at the moment. So a good day for them could really shoot them up the leaderboards and might be enough to put them in a position where going into regional finals, they're in one of those qualification spots for LAN and feeling pretty comfortable. So Stormpoint extremely.

00:20:58 Das ist wichtig für beide Teams zu machen. FURIA über Launchpad wird sehen, wo alle anderen anderen sind. Und FURIA wird sehr froh, über Launchpad zu werden. ECHO HQ für Moist ist... Oh, nicht Moist, soll ich sagen. Excuse me, ich habe zu sagen, dass ich die Fake Nose und Moustache auf dem Logo für einen Moment habe. Aber das ist etwas, was sie haben.

00:21:19 Yeah, I think they'll be pretty happy with being from the south of the map, which is what we've seen so often in ALGS history prior to the POI draft. TSM at Cascade Falls, they got one of the mid picks, so they're going to have two pretty average POIs across both Stormpoint and World's Edge. And then you've got the teams that have got the bad pick of, for example, Coastal Camp for LG, which I still don't think is the worst, even though it is one of the last picks. They will then have a very good pick on World's Edge, and you imagine they're going to be competing from Skyhook.

00:21:48 Das ist die letzte pick, aber auch die erste pick auf World's Edge. DSG von Trident. Es gibt viel zu tun, aber sie werden Northpaden für sie, als Alliance hat. Wir sehen, dass Alliance hat in Amir. Und es muss sich ein Tag für DSG zu sehen. Wenn wir sie für die Region Finals qualify, haben wir eine Top 2.

00:22:09 If they're going to make it, it might even need a victory at this point. This is what's scary for Disguise Fat. Hey, they looked pretty good yesterday, I have to say. They looked like they found a little bit of form, a little bit of rhythm. Didn't manage to quite get over the line when we moved over to World's Edge, but they did look like they had the ability to win some games. I'm interested to see also what Team Liquid do today, because Barris South has actually produced quite a lot of points. We've had a few zones go down there recently, and I think they're in a great spot in the overalls as well at the moment. 77 points for them.

00:22:38 Sie sind vor allem 4 Punkte hinter, oder genau 4 Punkte hinter, FURIA, die wir über ein bisschen zu reden haben. So, ihr könnt ihr alle in und über das Bereich in der Momenten sehen, sie sind zwei Punkte hinterher von LG, die mit TSM sind. So, wir sind wirklich ein paar Shifts heute in der Qualifikation Area, der Automatik Qualifikation Area, in der Region Finals für den Split-Two-Playoffs. Aber, als wir sehen, wir sehen, Bleidium Sports, die wir ein bisschen über und Drops gesprochen haben, über ihre Journey, sie werden über den Wald zu starten.

00:23:05 Yeah, they're going to be over at the wall. Fluffy Amos are going to be over towards Cliffside, which is particularly going to be fun. But they did ask Monsoon in the chat whether they could have Trident instead, and Monsoon replied with, hey, we'll see how the first two games go, and then maybe you can have it for match number three. But not going to happen, I'm sure. I do think that this is going to be an interesting one. I like that you mentioned Barometer South as well. We've seen Liquid play for Barometer South quite often. This split is a very comfortable POI for them. They have found victories from that POI, even when it's...

00:23:35 Well, here we go then, everybody.

00:24:04 Yeah, this is the chance where everyone has...

00:24:28 The opportunity to show up and to kind of throw away any bad mistakes that might have happened in the last two weeks. Because the majority of teams here all are still within a shot of regional finals. If not almost every team bar perhaps one.

00:24:43 Das heißt, Sie müssen die Region Finals aufstehen, zeigen, was Sie sind gemacht haben. Wenn Sie in irgendwelchen Praktiken haben, und etwas ist für Sie, oder Sie sind in bestimmten Bereichen, jetzt ist die Zeit zu ändern, denn sonst werden Sie sein, und Sie werden nach Hause stehen, um die Region Finals zu sehen. Hier ist Ihr Legend Selector als auch, und es ist immer interessant, ob es etwas einfach nur aus der Ordnung ist, und es sieht nicht aus, wie es sein wird. Es ist ziemlich konsistent aus dem Board, von welchen die Teams haben vorhin gespielt.

Game 1 Analysis: TSM's Threat, Legend Meta, and Eternal EC's Uphill Battle

00:25:12

00:25:12 So we're actually going to start off right in the middle of the map. We're going to start off over at Cascade Falls and we're going to have a little bit of a look at TSM on their loot paths because it's been an interesting season, a rollercoaster season to say the least, both in-game and out-of-game. But Dan, they're starting to come good just when it matters. Yeah, I think that TSM really are a massive threat and I think that they should be proud of how they have adjusted to losing.

00:25:35 Und das ist immer noch eine große Rolle. Und das ist immer noch eine große Rolle. Und das ist immer noch eine große Rolle.

00:26:04 Ja, Jurassic is looking like the Core and Empire Gaming. Gonna be pretty happy with that. They're dropping at Jurassic at the moment. TSM playing Watson as well from Cascade, which kind of makes sense considering that the loot pool isn't the strongest and with having good prior with a central POI, they can get there and they can bunker down pretty easily. Now, Bleed Esports, what a story this has been, right? We talked about how...

00:26:32 Zap hat die unenviable task, der sich in die Big Shoes befindet, und wie das ist ein Thankless-Task, weil man immer zu sein wird, zu ihm. Ich glaube, es hat sich schon unter den Radar gehalten. Ich denke, er ist ein Standout für sie, wenn es zu den Teamfights geht, wenn es zu den Dämtern kommt, und auch Clutching-Up in bestimmten Situationen. Ich denke, er ist ein Spieler, whose stock ist rising, so wir sehen ihn mehr und mehr spielen.

00:26:59 I think that happens to certain players when they get the right opportunity to be on a certain squad and they find that success the confidence is back within them and we see them at their very best playing at peak performance so we'll have to see whether it can be a similar day for Bleed and whether they can find that pop-off day that Dropped was mentioning in the interview we saw of him a little bit earlier on I'm noticing there is a Gibraltar in the lobby so I guess that's the only real difference that we're maybe seeing as

00:27:28 We see a few changes when Metashifts come in, and we'll have to see whether the Gibraltar at the end can be a big difference. You can see the pick rate of all the Legends at the top of your screen now. 19 Bangalores. Maybe that's what we expect now in North America. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. I'll tell you what, if you're playing Bangalore Gibby, and you stand in your bubbles, you call in both the alts, it'd be quite...

00:27:46 Ja, genau. Well, an Upside-Down 4th of July ist wie ich es. Aber Sie sehen, wo die Zone ist, und Sie sehen, dass es die Zonen gibt, die die Gibraltar zu spielen. Und Sie sehen, dass die Legend picks auf der Topf der Schrein, so Sie sehen, was die Legends sind. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Legend zu spielen. Sie sehen, dass die TSM-Leg

00:28:16 We saw them and it was just yesterday that we did see them and I mentioned how they have the chance to catch up to SSG with a monster day today with SSG sitting this lobby out and having to watch it won't be able to catch Falcons quite yet because let's be honest Falcons are quite far ahead of everyone at the moment but to be in second spot going into the regional finals to know you're one of the teams who can contend with them when it gets to the big the big moments in the big games it's it's a big confidence boost ahead of the split two playoffs

00:28:42 Ja, es ist eine wirkliche Chance, dass SSG die 2nd place in der Region Finale zu verlieren. Das ist natürlich nicht so gut für sie, wirklich. FURIA und Team Liquid könnten sie vielleicht leapfrogen sie, wenn sie eine Victory haben. Actually, ich glaube, FURIA könnte sie als 8. Und dann finden sie sich in 2nd place in der Region Finale zu verlieren. So, es ist sicherlich für sie.

00:29:03 Every team, bar one, can probably make regional finals. The team that I may be a little bit skeptical about is Eternal EC. They find themselves in the last position. They are on 24 points right now. They are 16 points, though, behind 20th position. But, of course, even if they got those 16 points, everyone in the top 20 would also be gaining points. So they would have to win to have any real opportunity of getting to regional finals. But that doesn't mean it's impossible, just a little bit more unlikely with how things have gone for them this season.

00:29:32 Es ist nicht möglich, aber improbable.

00:29:56 Ich habe ein kleines Gefühl, dass es sich wieder zurückkommt. Aber wo der Lobby der Rest findet sich, ist es heavy, heavy auf der Jurassic Seite. Und es wird ziemlich schwierig zu kommen, wenn du ein bisschen später kommst. Wir sehen uns Team Liquid Alienware gefunden hat. Und das ist eigentlich ganz schön, dass der Lobby in der Lobby wird. So, LG down to 2.

00:30:17 Always fun seeing the journey of Liquid from Barometer as well. I mentioned it actually on the EMEA broadcast when we saw a victory from a certain side, and I said it compares to Liquid Alienware, how they find success coming from Barometer. They wait, they get the ring console information through the fuse, and then they will find an optimal position after getting that third zone info rather than playing off second zone. So we'll have to see whether it's something similar here today.

00:30:45 A pretty slow start to the lobby, apart from if your name is Sweet Dreams, of course, who is probably thinking this is a very quick start to the lobby. Maybe he's going to be able to have a little bit of a say a little bit later on if his two teammates can get into a position to get him back into the game. Trying to see where the rest of LG are at the moment. Looks like they are in the choke kind of holding out Liquid Alienware at the moment. With Complexity, they're in a little bit of a fight now. They're looking to just pick the pace up a little bit outside of Pylon in this choke. And a good spray coming in from Kim Chi is going to at least let his two teammates reset.

00:31:15 Ich habe einen Monsoen geöffneted vor heute, zu sagen, dass wir die Sound-Reality haben, dass es unglaubliche Teams nicht mehr zu machen, in Nordamerika zu machen. Und auch mit den 12-Spots-Available sind, das ist noch eine Realität. Das ist ein bisschen verrückt, wie diese Region ist, als die Fluffy-Aimers haben den Chase-Mod gewonnen. Sie sind zu zwei, und sie werden zu werden. Es wird Eternal werden, die vielleicht nur auf die Flow-State hier zu bekommen. Es ist interessant, nicht? Eternal... Es ist einfach so, dass es manchmal...

00:31:44 Aber wenn es so obvious ist es so, oh, wir müssen heute gewinnen. Das ist all wir tun. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen. Wir müssen heute gewinnen.

00:32:13 Just to touch on Eternal one more time, they did win a match day back in Split 1.

00:32:34 with one different player. That was when Carter was on the roster. So it's not like it's unachievable for them here. And we'll leave that for now. We'll see how Eternal do, but it's certainly still possible, even though they're in dead last today, that they could make regional finals, which is going to make today even more exciting. The fact that really anyone can still be there, which means it's going to be very competitive and also very...

00:32:55 Das ist ein bisschen worrisome für viele diese Teams, weil wenn man einen Fehler macht, wenn man einen Fehler macht, dann wird jemand auf den Hals zu nehmen. Even wenn man einen gewinnen und man plötzlich in die Top 20 ist, wenn man eine Last-Place ist, eine Last-Place ist, eine Second-to-Last-Place, dann werden die Leute catch-up und Leapfrog man, und man wird das Regional-Final-Spot geben. So, consistency ist wichtig, aber auch ein Big-Win könnte alles hier sein.

00:33:18 Ja, es ist interessant, nicht es? Es ist nicht nur ein Test für Ihr Ability und Ihr Skill in-game hier. Es ist ein Test für die Old Grey Matter, was passiert zwischen...

00:33:26 The years and what's happening in your head when it comes to performance game after game. One bad game, you cannot, you quite simply at this point cannot in the split allow yourselves to let that hangover into the next game or become a hangover into that next game. It needs to be a full reset of the mentality of the game plan, whatever it needs to be. And one team who's done that pretty well so far, this split has been Bleed Esports. We've seen their consistency in their finishes that we saw at the top of the show. Well, at the moment, they've got to work their way in towards this zone. They're going to be able to hit the survey beacon to get the lay of the land.

00:33:55 und sehen was die Spots are free, aber das ist ein wirklich schweres Rotate für sie von Wallen. Ja, ich denke, die Realität ist, dass es nicht wirklich einen Spots sind, die nicht in guter Positionen sind. Aber was man kann mit der Survey Beacon sehen, ist, dass man vielleicht ein bisschen vulnerable zu werden, und sagen, all right, wir sehen, dass ein Team hier ist.

00:34:14 Maybe that's going to be our target, because perhaps that could be a position that we could maybe steal away from them. But you also need the armors to go alongside it. Purples are definitely going to be desirable, and you can sometimes hope that you would be landing on a team with blue. Now speaking of armors, DSG, they're on two purples and a red, and they're going to be making their way all the way around on this west side here to have a late arrival. And you know what? It could work out, because they could very much surprise those teams with a late arrival here.

00:34:43 Yeah, something that DSG have always liked to do is zone wrap. And I think a lot of teams are very aware sometimes of certain zones. It's like on certain zones, excuse me, of like, oh, we've got to be careful because we haven't seen DSG for a while. Like, where are DSG? Are they going to zone wrap us? But when you zone wrap and you have armors to play with, it gives you that, like you say, element of surprise that you can just take a spot off of someone. And the team that might have to watch their backs and be careful of it are Stallions. Let's jump into a listening and see what the comms are like with Stallions.

00:35:11 Okay, wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier.

00:35:39 Ich bin auf dem Armour. Ich bin auf dem Armour. Ich bin auf dem Armour. Ich bin auf dem Armour. Ich bin auf dem Armour.

00:36:06 We can't we have to just kind of wait I'm walking yeah, I'm looking

00:36:34 Do you have a syringe? I'm walking up the hill, I'm walking up the hill.

00:36:50 Wir sind da. Wir sind da. Wir sind da.

00:37:10 Can we point to the right, to the right tree? Is that possible? Maybe? Yeah. Can we scan if they're there? Yeah. I don't think they're here yet. Get as far as we can. Get as far as we can. They're close to it, but they're not at the tree. They're on the door, I think. Okay. Not at the door anymore. Okay. I'm at the door. I'm at the door. I'm at the lake. That's right. Ignore them. Ignore them.

00:37:33 This guy's just gripping my fucking game. I'm bounding, I'm bounding. I just whiffed so badly. He's at 120. He's right here. He's kicked. That's our third. Lifters on, lifters on.

NotMoist's Victory in Game 1: Strategic Plays and Timmy's Clutch Performance

00:37:50

00:37:50 So we jump back into the game, unfortunately, it will be the end of Stallions, and we mentioned the DSG Rabtan, and that was what caused them all of those problems. The DSG Rabtan sounds tasty, but sometimes it's a little bit spicy as enemy. The last remaining player here, two have gone down, and sadly, it could be the demise of DSG. It will be. So for all that standoff between Stallions and DSG, neither of them are able to survive. Liquid Alienware are going to be able to clean up, but now Cloud9 are going to be on their heels and looking to try and nip them here.

00:38:17 A well placed Frank Grenade could turn this fight as we see the Seer ult going down as well. Sorcerer is going to take the height and now they just need to peek together. Make sure not to give any opportunity for two of the players from Liquid Alienware to solo you out. That's great shot. Coming in almost gets that knock but can't quite convert. But Sorcerer is providing a huge amount of damage for them and the stick comes in from the Arc Star as well. Surely that's going to be the opportunity for them to push.

00:38:39 Ja, Stehnoit hat vieles dämt, aber hat viel genug dämt, um Cloud9 zu pushen. Es wird ein 2-2, ich glaube. Vielleicht ein 2-1. Es ist ein 2-1, und es ist clean. So wir werden drei Teams gehen, Liquid Empire, und wir werden Vanity alle fallen, als C9 kommt auf.

00:38:55 Aber das reduziert uns immer so leicht hier, mit ein paar Teams zu fallen, aber FURIA ist still alive, 12 squads remain. FURIA auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf der Nr-E-Side, auf

00:39:23 für FURIA zu gehen. Aber in der meantime, Native Gaming und Tempo sind vollständig eliminiert. Und mit FURIA still healthy, Magnusik hat sich zu bemerken, weil Flatt ist in dieser Position. Ja, werfe Winsen auf der northernen Seite, will haben die Möglichkeit, zu behaupten, eine der besten Position auf der northen Seite zu behaupten. Aber du hast zu worry, was wird passieren auf der westen. TSM und Oblivion sind da, aber es ist Bleed Esports, die in der Center-Zone ist, und in einer der priorityen Position, um das Spiel zu gewinnen, wenn sie es in der correcten Position spielen können. Aber FURIA still haben.

00:39:52 A very good opportunity to try and get some KP here and control a good spot on the north. Ten squads remaining, by the way, as round four is about to close. So there should be playable space for pretty much everybody. But Complexity are on one side of the fence line to Jurassic. They're trying to hold out Not Moistus at the moment. C9 are close to them as well as Furia use that zip to get away from all of the carnage just going down and find a tree spot to call their own. Yeah, they can not only look at what's happening on the north, but they can also join in with...

00:40:20 The commotion that's happening on the south as well. They will now be able to hold out potentially the teams that are arriving through those Jurassic doors. The likes of Not Moist, the likes of Complexity. Both will have to push through. And Furia can maybe pick up some KP from it. I love this reposition. I love the area they've taken. But it is Not Moist who are now having to get a little bit of aggressive here. The Catwall went down to give them the cover. But now without it, they are exposed. They might have to take the fight.

00:40:43 Ja, Sie müssen sich vorsichtig sein. Komplexe war erinnert. Sie gewinnen das erste Spiel, das ist der wichtigste Spiel. Jetzt müssen sie genug Zeit für Reset und dann durchführen. Aber Cloud Knight haben sie einen Blick auf sie jetzt. Also, Sie müssen sich bewaren von Furia. Wie Sie erwähnt, Sie sind in eine gute Position für 3rd-Party. So alle sind sich um sichern. Niemand möchte sich die erste zu werden. Und es wird Chaotik sein. Wer ist das Spiel? Thanks to Guild!

00:41:05 Ja, Nott Moist jetzt will be able to push up and really get aggressive. Wow. And they will eliminate, and they'll get a reset, because FURIA are not going to go past that gate, right? FURIA are not going to commit that heavily to a fight. It would be far too risky. So Nott Moist, they can relax, they can reset, and they can now consider how they want to approach this final circle. They get that breather. Other teams in the area, you've got TSM now pushing up onto flat, and it looks like they want to take this fight. They've got the armor advantage here as well. They've got a nice headglitz to play with. They managed to take the gen out, I'm pretty sure, which means nades now become a factor in this fight.

00:41:34 Ja, Oblivion joining in as a duo, but it is going to be Blink, the last remaining player, but that could be enough.

00:41:57 TSM hier, wo sie vielleicht versuchen. Sie sehen, FURIA hat sich zu verabschiedet. Sie hört es alles, sie zippen zurück, und jetzt werden sie diejenigen, die Flatt verabschiedet werden, und sie werden vielleicht auch TSM. TSM hat Reset geschafft hier. TSM hat sich zu machen, so das ist nicht so easy, wie man denkt. However, mit der Dammage zu kommen, TSM wird nicht so gut sein, und FURIA wird weitergehen. Was hat ein Phänomenal run hier in Game No. 1 von der Phänomenal run, die sie heute haben, auf der letzte Gameday hatten.

00:42:25 Yeah, certainly momentum on their side from yesterday. They are feeling confident. You can see the way they are moving around the map and manipulating the map in their favor to get these kills as NGL will go down. Five squads now remain, but it is still bleed. Center zone here with a building to work with, with cover to work with, whereas every other team kind of is out in the open at the moment using any rock they can to try and stay alive. Keyon found a cheeky little spot there. He got stunned for a second, but didn't take too much damage by the looks of things from that bangle. And now you're seeing Keyon.

00:42:52 He's gonna overextend a little bit, he's gonna find a little bit of space, and he's gonna find a Nog as well. Molsy is also starting to get a little bit active inside of this building as Bleed Esports, who have been center-zone, will be eliminated as well, and Nott Moist are fighting like animals. Every 3v3 we see them in, they're just wiping them.

00:43:10 NotMoist voll send it on to Bleed, and they said actually that building looks pretty nice, and now Furia get involved with the Oblivion fight. But now it's a three versus three, NotMoist versus Furia. We do have the building available for NotMoist, but they are currently spreading themselves to try and get angles, and they almost take down Madness because of it.

00:43:26 Well, Keon takes a little bit of damage as well, and you can see the Guild and Waltzy trying to do what they can just to hold the line at the moment. Timmy's the player who's playing a little bit of an off angle here as we see Furia retreats to Keon, who is going to be playing that rock. Now, when you're talking about zone, when you're talking about positioning, Not Moist certainly have that at the moment with the building that they find themselves in and with the spray that comes in as well. However, look at Keon with that havoc from distance, taking down Waltzy, and now...

00:43:52 It's something not moist to turn this fight around, and they managed to make it a 2v2. Yeah, it certainly turned around. 2v2 now. Timmy and Gil should be able to reset episode slightly, but now you can see the push coming through. Timmy, left on his own. It's a 1v1.

00:44:06 Timmy trying to do what he can. He's got Armuswalt to play as well. Trying to switch his attention to this player and find the knockdowns to play behind as well. Medkit gonna be popped in the meantime. Lot of pressure coming in. He's trying to stick this medkit and if he can, surely he's in a position to clutch this up and oh, Timmy! Timmy will win!

00:44:26 And Not Moist will be your champions in game one. And Not Moist, how important could that win be? Right off the rip, 21st position coming into this game in the overall standings, going up against Furia, who were in third. So not only do they get a victory to give themselves the chance to get into regional finals and to get closer to maybe getting towards playoffs, but also to be able to take down a team that has been all about momentum, has dominated yesterday. That is going to be the perfect way for Not Moist.

00:44:56 An amazing, amazing 1v1 win from Timmy. And I've got to say, that was a game that maybe Fury will look back on. Maybe they played that fight with a little bit too much confidence because the 2v2 became a 2v1 very, very quickly. Then it was the 1v1. And all of a sudden, Timmy. Timmy just wins those. It's very rare you don't see Timmy win those. Sticking that medkit, playing behind the knockdown shields. All the micro decisions he made in that final battle to give himself the advantage in the 1v1.

00:45:20 Running away, looking for shield swap, getting behind the knockdowns to pop the medkit, and then having the advantage as well of having that height. I mean, it shows, I think, how many thought processes you have to go through as a player in a five-second space, right? And I think Timmy is one of the best at analyzing so much information and making the right decisions a lot of the time.

00:45:39 Aber 17 kills für NotMoist. Es war nicht...

00:46:08 Das ist ein absoluter Monster. Und wenn du Not Moist war, dann vielleicht hat sich das nicht verändert.

00:46:37 Absolute nukes to drop in game number one. Elsewhere, no surprise to see not many points available for many other teams. Liquid Alienware were able to get seven points on the board with those six kills that we saw them get on the southern side of Jurassic just outside of Barrow. But, I mean, Dan, there's only really one story to talk about, and it's not Moist. Look at the damage. Look at the kills. And how many 3v3s did we see them just wipe the other team without even taking a knock?

00:47:01 Ja, ich denke, die initiale Damage gemacht wurde von Woltzy oder Guilden und dann von Timmy, oder Timmy haben einen Angle gemacht und zu tun, von einer Distance zu tun. Sie kämpft so Successfully. Ever since we've seen Timmy added to this Team, und Timmy kind of gets given that Support role, at times. Whether it's with a Sniper Rival, whether it's with a Long Range Weapon, on M&K. Es ist such a beautiful mix of Players that works out. Und Nott Moist, die aus der Regional Pläne sind heute, start to find themselves with a real chance of, not only...

00:47:30 Regional Finals, but now getting towards those numbers of maybe even making LAN. Yeah, I mean, it's a crazy split so far, right? I mean, we talk about North America, how much talent there is, how many teams almost you feel like deserve to go to LAN with the amount of talent that's on there. And it's always someone that misses out that you feel, ah, they really should be at LAN. They are that talented a team. They deserve their opportunity on the big stage, but not moist for me with the amount of talent they have, Dan, with the amount of performances they put in.

00:47:57 Du kannst sie nicht sehen, und das kann in Game 1 sein, dass sie eine Chance haben. Aber in der meantime, während wir Wax lyrical über Not Moist sind, es ist Zeit für uns zu kommen. Wenn wir zurückkommen, Game 2 zu kommen.

Not Moist's Dominating Performance und Challenger Circuit Ankündigung

00:49:52

00:49:52 Well, Nott Moist certainly stehled the show in that one, and it was a big-time win, not just in terms of Nott Moist getting what they desperately need sitting in 21st place, but also the fact that Timmy clutched up, the way that they got that win, Marc, that's just sending you momentum for days and days at this point, or at least the rest of these matches, because that's going to get you feeling good and the vibe's strong. Yeah, it certainly is going to make them feel very good, because there was a lot of 3v3s that they took in that game that they took without being knocked.

00:50:20 Even when they assaulted this building that was held by Bleed Esports for quite some time. You know, the efficiency at which they did it. Yes, one player went down, but two players still alive with a lot of ammo as well. And it was, honestly, it was a little bit of a masterclass on how to fight your way and create a path for yourself in towards the zone. And then you sometimes in Apex Legends just need a little bit of magic. And I think you can see from this 2v2, kind of the thought process that I was trying to highlight from Timmy, right? He gets to finish.

00:50:48 And then moves into a position. He has 4 Red Evo. Runs past the player towards the knockdowns. And from here he knows that because of the fact that he's got the knockdowns in front of him. He can watch the jump ups. He can have the two players watch either side of him. Block that damage that's coming in. And then on full shields he's just got to hit shots. And nobody on M&K hits shots better than Timmy. So just a fantastic performance all around for Not Moist. And match number 2 is set up. And they're probably sitting there right now going. Let's get into it. I'm ready to fight anyone right now.

00:51:17 Es wäre schwer zu wählen, eine bessere Einführung zu wählen, in der 1v1 zu wählen, Walsi, Gildersons und Timmy. Ich würde sagen, dass jeder, in jeder Situation, eine 3v3 zu wählen. Und ich denke, das macht das Team so stark. Ja, Rhythm ist nicht da für sie, aber mit Game 2 zu kommen, wenn sie ein bisschen mehr machen können, dann wird es nicht nur für die Region Finale sein.

00:51:44 but finding a way to get back to the form that we expect from them. Such a talented team. Again, a little bit of a shout-out onto the Challenger Circuit, July 20th, 22nd. Registration closes on the 17th, so if you're interested in joining, that's where you gotta go. Battlefly.com slash ALGS.

00:52:01 Well, Game No. 1 kind of sets us up in an interesting way for Game No. 2, right? Because NotMoist just took all the points from the lobby. So everybody else is kind of in a similar situation, the same situation before things got underway today. It's very, very close. And I think the only team really that can smile and have a little bit of a celebration after Game No. 1 because of the points tally they managed to pop is NotMoist. Now, yes, FURIA had some decent points as well alongside it, but not quite on the same level. And I think...

00:52:27 Considering the zone, considering the way they had to work their way through that, that was not an easy rotate for them to make down from Echo. So not most of the moment feeling full of confidence, I would imagine, but sometimes that can bleed over in a way that you don't want it to. You take a little 3v3, you get a little bit overconfident in the first one, and all of a sudden, it's a huge win followed by a 20th spot. So they've just got to make sure they regulate the adrenaline a little bit here and make sure they're locked in for this game too.

Strategien zur Minimierung von RNG und Teamdynamiken

00:52:52

00:52:52 Das war es interessant, zu Privacy, der Analyst von Falcons. Und er hat gesagt, dass seine Arbeit ist wirklich zu spenden, als viel Zeit, als er kann, zu limiten RNG. Es wird RNG, no matter what. Aber inevitably, no matter how good you are in a 1v1, you are going to have a little bit of RNG in terms of that. So not Moist happy. They won it. Don't need a 1v1 to win it all. Every game, though, they'd rather do it a little easier. Right now, easy is a good word to describe the position that they've gotten.

00:53:18 I was going to say, that is a gift. That is an absolute gift for Not Moist. You win game number one, you put a huge amount of points on the board, 29 in total, and then the zone goes, you know what, you deserve a little pat on the back. It goes, Echo HQ, that's where you're dropping. Sounds pretty good to me. Amazing for them, obviously. But LG, they're making their way in as well, and they were the one team who had a very, very disappointing game number one. So they've got a pretty good prior from Coastal Camp here to get into a good spot.

00:53:46 A lot more, you just got to be careful here. They don't get caught on a loop path and get isolated in the way that LG actually did a little bit a couple of match days ago where Sweet got picked off. LG a great team also to just stay involved. Even if they have a couple of bad games, there's so many times that Sweet will earn just position points, placement points by staying alive as that solo, grabbing six, grabbing five. That way when they have that good game and a lot of times they ramp up towards the end. That is a little bit traditional for LG.

00:54:13 dass sie dann wieder in die Top 5 machen können. Das wird sie in eine gute Zeit. Natürlich ist es eine solche Dinge, dass es eher gesagt, als getan ist, und du musst in die Position sein. Die Team, die in die Position haben,

00:54:27 Maybe they don't want to here, but certainly has all the tools necessary is DSG. They came into Matchday 8 with only 15 points. They were the last place team overall, essentially, in North America in all intents and purposes. And they found a way to get to 31 now. If they can add another 15 or more, it would look like they could jump into those regional finals and then have a shot at winning and getting themselves to land. But it's a tall task for them. They've set up a very difficult story.

00:54:55 But hey, you know what? Those are sometimes the most important journeys. The ones that don't have a guaranteed route of success. And you got to make do with what you've got.

00:55:03 Well, Complexity are one of those teams that are going to have to fight for a qualification spot. We mentioned how they were inside of the auto-qualifying spots. As we see a fight going down, we'll go back to Complexity in a minute, because inside of the broken armory here, you can see that NGNL are in a little bit of trouble. They've been eliminated in the meantime, and Fury are trying to move in to pick up some scraps inside of the armory themselves, but they're just kind of chasing ghosts at the moment and taking quite a little bit of damage themselves. However, they should be able to finish off a couple of these knocks, and that will be very, very comfortable for them to just clear this.

00:55:32 Which will be something they want to essentially play for the long game here. January McLovin goes down as well. Furia looking for potentially anybody else who might be joining the fray, but they're a team that is so confident.

00:55:45 in taking these fights and what they've done so well i keep mentioning it as you see ec coaches found his way away from the fray so we'll not be challenging furia for that position again he's just getting into good spots mark to make their work a lot easier you look at a team having to do so much and finding a way i think of nadis vincere yesterday and uh resetting dying solo player reviving somehow finding a win fury just getting a good spot and they

00:56:10 Und das ist so eine unterteile Sache. Es ist manchmal nicht die flashiest Apex Legends, aber es ist oft die meisten effektive, wenn ein Team kann immer weitergehen. Ja, ich meine, du hast gesagt, Minimizing RNG, das ist was die besten IGELs in der Welt können. Die Minimize RNG durch welche Routes sie nehmen, wie wie sie die Welt machen können. Wie kann sie uns? Wir wollen das Team nicht nur schauen, und machen die Snap-Decision. Und ich denke, Madness ist...

00:56:34 Er hat ein viel Respekt für Madness und sein IGL-ing und die Weise erstaunlich ist. Er macht clear, obvious Play Calls zu sein. Er macht es sehr digestible für sie. Ich denke, er ist ein realer Staple für die Successe mit den Calls erzielt. Liquid Alienware hat eine gute Punkte gemacht in der ersten Spiel, aber es war nur durch Kills auf der anderen Seite.

00:56:55 ... ... ... ... ...

00:57:13 Can you do the ultimate thing? Can you win the Matchpoint Finals?

Kämpfe um Echo HQ und Zonenvorhersagen

00:57:40

00:57:40 That remains to be seen. A team that got so close, 2nd place at LAN in Championships just last year. Well, we talked about their story, Bleed Esports. We'll pick up with them on their rotation soon as Flak gets into an engagement. Mamba finding a couple of kills early on.

00:57:55 Yeah, you gotta be so careful with any of these fights that take place in and around Echo because there's so many teams already here and they're all kind of stacked up on each other. We know how Echo is kind of constructed, right? You have room on top of room on top of room that people will play. And if you are in a position where a team who's above you sees a knock on either side, you know you're going to get swung. So that's why you're seeing flat. Even though they got a couple of knocks there, they got a finish. They're not going to overextend to take this fight above. They don't...

00:58:18 really have a position where they can overextend, knowing that somewhere else is going to be there. Elsewhere, though, I mentioned how Stallions are going to be wrapping behind Team Liquid. Well, Team Liquid did not check their backs. Man, this is dangerous for both teams. So much firepower. Albreleli, Retsy, Ram, actually going up against Liquid Alienware, who are certainly going to be trying to gatekeep this. Still playing in zone is Albreleli, willing to take a little bit of damage. It's still just zone two.

00:58:45 Better go out when you know how to make a move. No ultimate yet. Maybe just trying to bide some time. 15% then they've got the zip line. That changes how they can move through this fight and maybe try to avoid it completely, Mark. I mean, they did get that initial knock and I'm pretty sure they got the finish as well. So I think that Halber is actually... Oh no, they didn't get... Did they get the finish? Yes, they did indeed. So it's only two players here from Team Liquid Alienware, which is why you're seeing them be aggressive. They know they can take this space because Team Liquid will have to retreat. They cannot afford to take a 2v3 even if they have this height advantage. And now that the zip is back...

00:59:14 This is exactly what I expected to see from Stallions. They would essentially look for the Liquid position because they know they will be weak. They know that they can essentially play in behind them and look at this from Alb. Nice. You know I love Pathfinder, everybody. You know it's a joke, but Alb on the Pathfinder just feels natural.

00:59:30 Just grappling it out. And look at this. They got Jaguaris back just in time. Can something magical happen on the top of the roof? Not with Albert Lely involved. Yanya falls. Niazul as well. And it looks like it could just be the end. Jaguaris, the last one standing. They're looking for him. He's just underneath that building. They have an instinct that that is going to be in. And that will be Liquid Alienware going down against Stallions. A strong 3v3 at the edge. And they lose.

00:59:56 Ja, Ram's got the hands up on the Seer. As soon as that final player was trying to escape, managed to find the position of him immediately, and all of them just chased it down. So Team Liquid Alienware, I thought for a second that they were aware of the Stallion's position. I thought they caught wind of them being over at Barometer, but obviously they thought that maybe there's too deep into the zone. Maybe someone just caught off guard, whatever it was.

01:00:17 It's a mistake that you don't make twice, essentially. You have to watch your back and you have to make sure that that area is clear. Bleed Esports now, though, they're looking to move in. A little bit of damage coming in. The Seer Q is going to be good. Flesh damage is good, but not good enough to get the knock. Love this composition as well with the iteration of E8 with Zap, Shubi, and Zak obviously playing Seer Horizon before it really came into the fray. Bloodhound still took it over. It wasn't really going to be...

01:00:41 Zappto!

01:01:06 Ah, he's familiar with that Shubi, guys. Alongside M&K, that's Reps. And Verhulz, they're going to be holding them out insane. Don't cross any further. We see you. This is not the space to go. Yeah, TSM won a fight against Fluffy Amos a few moments ago, and now have managed to find themselves in a spot. Speaking of zone, by the way, we're actually going to shift away from Echo HQ towards the east side of Stormpoint, so the funky pulls continue. Maybe not the funky kind of tune that a lot of the teams who are inside of Echo HQ want to listen to right now, but TSM...

01:01:33 They have this bridge position and they are in a very, very strong position for this endgame if they can hold this. I mean, if you look where Zap, he turns around almost kind of right here, but to the left, right there, where he's looking up and over that ridge is where a lot of people thought this zone was going to pull. Now it's coming this way. They're actually right in zone and they're feeling very, very good about their position from the high ground and reps on the Watson. We've seen it more and more consistency in this game and in this match day.

01:02:00 We've actually heard it from Lufka, I think, or one of our interviews earlier, that just loves the meta. Just loves the fact it's so balanced. It's great that Bloodhound is no longer dominating the force of must-play. Everything's running through that, and it's really opened up some diversity for the comps. And that's why we're seeing all these different characters as we get a top-down overview of what to expect here. That huge shift from that southwest, like you mentioned, Mark. Oh, man, it is going to be an exodus of all time here to try to make it into some safe spots.

01:02:29 Ja, es wird eine bestimmte Cull von Teams auf der Erde gehen. Das ist gut, und das ist gut, für Complexity. Wir sahen der Move ein bisschen earlier, Grave Zone Call, von Arkanon, Native Gaming und Oblivion werden da auch. Jetzt, die Difficulty auf Devastated Coast ist, wenn du in ein guter Spot bist,

01:02:47 A lot of those buildings, you can guess by the name, right? Devastated Coast are broken buildings. So there's not a lot of cover actually inside of them. It's not like you're playing outside a checkpoint where all the buildings are fully formed and, you know, the architect has signed it off. Everything's kind of broken and there's not a huge amount of cover to play, even if you're inside of one of them. So it's a pretty tough spot to hold. You have to essentially use gun and presence and firepower to hold teams off. But I mean, just look at Echo HQ right now. It is ugly.

01:03:17 Ich bin, wie ihr geht in den E-Vac-Towers? Ja, aber es gibt so viele Teams, sie können in einen Moment werden in einen Moment. Die Teams werden vielleicht ein bisschen zu spüren, oder sie können schneller gehen, ist C9. Wir müssen sie in den nächsten Zonen sehen und sehen, wie sie in den nächsten Zonen kommen. Wir müssen sie in den E-Vac-Towern gehen. Okay. Das Team ist zu sehen. Wir sind okay, wir sind okay. Darf ich sie zurück? Wir werden 3-P...

01:03:45 Echo, so that we're at this edge team, but if not possible... I just got no shields to peek at him, bro. Just let me know when he wants to start coming to us. Dude... I'm just talking to that person on you. I'm just talking to that person. It's just one kid peeking this entire time. Okay. Gotta stop moving. I'm coming.

01:04:10 Ich bin 2-1, ich bin 2-1

01:04:34 I see it open forward. He's running away, he's running away. He's just one, bro. We should have killed him. I got charged rifled. Okay, okay. There's a guy on a good angle in our back. Wait, wait, wait. You're safe on me. You're safe on me. Get out of your full safe. Oh, no, no, no. Walk in, walk in. On your right, careful your right, bro. You gotta go in. I just can't, bro.

01:05:03 Well, Chaotik, der Name der Spieler in der Situation ist EEC, Kochi, der eine Alive ist. Wir sahen ihn geteilt in der Kampf gegen Furia, als er spielt. Spoiler, zu C9s Rotation. Und nicht Moist, aber noch in 1st Platz ist. Er hat auch ein Onslaut von Damage, aber er bleibt.

01:05:22 Well, speaking of Ancelor, here comes Not Moist, and it's LG who are being pinched at the moment by Furia and Not Moist, and you can see that they're in a horrible, horrible spot, and it will be LG eliminated very early on, relatively, alongside their elimination in Game 1. So a slow start for LG, but nothing slow about the way that Not Moist are playing at the moment. They force that fight. They win that fight.

01:05:43 But they now have to make their next play. Is it to try and move into zones? Emperor eliminated as well. Stallions went. We're down to 12 squads, by the way. And Vanity could well be next. Although Krook manages to find himself a little nook to hide him.

01:05:55 This is a desperation zone. I mean, this poll just is clearly either messed with some of the IGL's thoughts on it, or they're just saying, what can we salvage from this? Because no one's attempted to even get into the zone as it is now. A lot of players still just saying, we've got to play edge. If we move forward, we will be in the position of getting shot by three or four teams in front of us. It's not worth it, but you've got to do something. And I think C9 even, maybe if we can use them as the example, recognized that it was just one player. We should have pushed that because what other option do we have?

01:06:23 Ich weiß, Komplexity und Native sind in guten Spots, Oblivion auch. Auch TSM, aber wer ist der Fall der Lobby?

01:06:49 Das ist TSM's Chance zu bekommen KP.

TSM's Devotion und Complexity's Sieg

01:07:16

01:07:16 Huge spots as well, making that Devotion look good in the hands of Verholz, and he finds some damage there. It's early on for TSM, but look at that. Still mostly Purples, not having to heal much. This has put them in such a good position, because everyone they're shooting at is just running on fumes in terms of medkits needed, in terms of shield cells having to be popped, in terms of headshots getting shot.

01:07:39 Oh, das Devo ist illegal. Was?!

01:08:07 I mean TSM now hold the high ground, but they will not be safe. Teams that will be are the ones that are on height. Native gaming inside of that building is not much will be eliminated. By the way, Marzuna's Charge Rifle, two people to death in this game. And Timmy is the latest victim.

01:08:24 Ich weiß nicht, wie man das Weapon ist. Ich weiß nicht, wie man das Weapon ist. Aber für jemanden wie Monsoon zu tun, die Unthinkable mit der Weapon ist, ja, okay, ich will das. Still, Complexity, um zu finden, um die Top 5 zu finden, um die Kursse zu haben, die sie in den Zonen haben, aber nicht zu wissen, wie es das ist. Verhalts ist sicherlich auf eine Flatline und Devotion.

01:08:46 Is that the new Havoc-Hemlock combo? We'll have to wait and see. Certainly, if it was like any way we saw Kraber in the hands of Hakus today, this will be a consistent feature.

01:08:56 Und das ist sehr gut für TSM. Sie spielen die Back-Side dieser Gebäude, nicht ganz in die Zone, also sie werden müssen. Und es ist eine Entscheidung, wie sie die Pressure-Complexity fast genug, um zu versuchen, das zu nehmen. Ich meine, die Thing ist, Complexity ist split-hold in den Gebäude zu dem Moment. Ich glaube, TSM hat diese Gebäude gesehen. So, sie versuchen sie zu einem dieser Gebäude zu versuchen, und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art und eine Art.

01:09:25 End of TSM. Complexity will hold.

01:09:29 Und das war das Komplexity. Sie finden diese Momenten. Sie finden Positionen. Es war nie ein Problem, um sich in eine Situation zu erreichen zu werden. Es war, was man tun, wenn das Moment passiert. Und klar, Komplexity hat die Antwort für TSM's push. Zapto will, vielleicht eine Sekunde früher, er könnte mit Verhulst in den Kampf kommen. Aber es ist Komplexity, die die Lowground haben. 5 Sekunden leften. Disguide, auf auf dem Top. Und das ist ein guter Platz für sie.

01:09:58 with design and his classic sentinel being used native right underneath sharing the building with them complexity down below and bleed esports and oblivion rounding out our final squats well this looks like something out of the crystal maze right now you can see the dome has gone down the exhibit is lighting up every single player who is inside of that elevated structure the problem for all of these teams

01:10:19 It's a difficult thing.

01:10:46 Und das ist die Bangalore ultimative. Das wird sie entweder nehmen oder nehmen. Und ich denke, sie müssen sie nehmen. Und versuchen sie zu nehmen. Und versuchen sie zu nehmen. Das war von Bleed E-Sports. Excuse me, Oblivion. Und jetzt werden sie versuchen in, als auch. Die Skye ist noch auf.

01:11:13 Five squads left. And Reed, this is Oblivion, who looks to be going down. And there's another Bangalore Ultimate as well. Gonna try to give space for DSG if they can do it. They've got a tall task ahead of them to try to win this one. Because sooner than later, they will not be able to stay here.

01:11:27 I mean, one thing they can do, though, is they can zip above Complexity. They can take a zip towards any of the buildings, any of the rocks. And obviously the fact that you get 50% less damage means they should be able to cross and at least put up some sort of fight. The problem is the whole lobby, including Lou with a devotion, lights them up. So Complexity continue to hold this spot. They will not give this up.

01:11:48 Und Complexity ist alles, was sie brauchen. Das könnte ein Wunsch für sie sein, aber sie können es nicht hier sein. Lu inside der Bildung. Kimschi locktet es mit den Ferrofluid auf den Doors. Rambo und Native pushen in. Snipe down, taking a peek. Arkay in, mit a Thermite. Und es ist ein Gibraltar Ultimate. Ich kann nicht glauben, eine Defensive Bombardment in der Final Zone in der ALGS in Matchday 9. Aber es ist natürlich schrecklich. Native, sie sind still alive. Aber Complexity kommt in. Und es ist Complexity!

01:12:17 Simple as possible, they get the W to close out game number two.

01:12:24 I have to commend Complexity for the way that they just navigated that endgame. Yes, they had the best spot in zone, but that is the way to play that to perfection. It is the prioritization of targets. Who is our biggest threat in this moment? How do we deal with them? How do we protect our building and protect ourselves in that zone? Little things like taking the roof, right? Little things like taking the roof as soon as that zipline went out, because they know if they give up the roof, then their game chances of winning go down. So they all go to the roof together.

01:12:52 They shoot, they fire, and they have the Devo as well, which certainly helps them out in that situation. I think it's a masterful game that we've seen so far from complexity and in that first game, not moist. We are seeing some really, really good Apex Legends from our teams who have managed to clutch up and win. And the great difference between whether it's complexity...

01:13:09 Das war wirklich die letzte fight für sie.

01:13:39 Und Marc, es sieht man, dass sie ihre Arbeit und ihre Intentions sind, und die Job gemacht haben.

01:13:55 Yeah, I think it's a really good point that you raised, right? I think the biggest fight for them in that was holding off TSM. TSM with a devotion as well. And I just need to go back and watch what happened to Zap on that cross. I don't know if he took a little bit of damage on the cross, if it was someone from height that just managed to crack his shield, which meant he was a little bit late because he had to pop a battery. Whatever it was, that was what gave Complexity the opportunity to pick up those first two kills and be healthy enough to deal with him coming in as a solo at the end. So interesting one to watch back for sure. But Complexity, I keep talking about how impressive that performance was. I think just...

01:14:24 Prioritization of biggest threat was on point for every single decision they made there.

01:14:29 And that's the thing, too. In a lobby like that, it's a bit on who gets this position. And then I think ultimately I want to see more teams, particularly teams with the ability to make a play or have nothing happen for them, attempt to make that play, whether it was TSM. Before we were talking about TSM, it was Cloud9, who I thought could make a play onto Kochi. And that might have actually given them the chance to vie for that spot round south and maybe be in that fight instead of TSM. So I want to see these teams continue to make these moves.

01:14:59 Ich glaube, es ist das, dass du oder die Moment in ALGS ist, wenn es eine Beside der Matchpoint-Finals gibt. So, shoutouts zu all die Teams. Ich glaube, wir hatten ein paar Stats kommen, aber wir werden wieder zurückgehen. Aber, Marc, es ist toll, dass es eine Progression in diese Teams haben, und es spricht zwei Dinge.

01:15:18 Das war die größte von EchoHQ. Das war die Entirete der Lobby.

01:15:48 So many teams had gambled on that being the POI where we would be ending this game, number two. And it just moved completely away towards Devastated Coast. And it caught a lot of teams out who then had to leave, which is why you're seeing a lot of teams with not a huge amount of KP. Again, it's the top heavy KP from the teams who were inside a zone and watching everybody else have to leave Echo HQ. Some of the stats as well. Impressive game, by the way, coming in from Monsoon. Charge Rifle. I mean...

01:16:13 Mon was derjenige, der die attention zu den Sentinels gekommen ist. Er hat sich gefragt, warum ist Monchen mit dem Sentinels gekommen? Was ist hier passiert? Und dann alle anderen geguckt auf.

01:16:22 Now the man's picking up Charge Rifles. Oh man. Are we gonna see his back? I mean, Charge Rifles could be back, who knows? It could be. I mean, I would not put it past Monsoon. He just makes everything look so good for a man who got his start in streaming by being raided by Shroud, who accused him of cheating live on his stream. That's right. No, it's just a man who knows how to work snipers and cook a nice pork meal.

01:16:46 I'll say that if you follow his X better than almost anybody in the ALGS scene. Not moist in the lead, Complexity right behind. One of the things I heard the other day that stuck with me is when you analyze everything that can go wrong, risk is what is left over. These teams need to expect the unexpected and be prepared to do what it takes to get a W. Complexity was, they got game two. We'll find out what happens in game three after this.

01:18:43 Justin Miller ist der offiziell Partner der Apex Legends-Global-Series.

01:18:50 We are back, everybody, to the ALGS North American Pro League, the final regular matchday before we head to our regional finals. And after two games, I mean, we've had two teams who have kind of taken all the points away. It was Complexity with the win in our game number two with another surprising shift in the zone, Dan. I'm sure you enjoyed seeing that one. I mean, I think everyone banked on it, pulling further towards Echo, as it always does. But then the shift away just hurt so many squads. But a team that did get a little bit further was Native, and it was good to see a Gibraltar.

01:19:18 in den Final 3, wie in den Good Old Days. Wir haben Sia, wir haben Gibraltar zurück. Alles scheint zu beherrschen. Ich sage die Good Old Days, aber Sia war nicht wirklich die Good Old Days. Aber jetzt diese Meta ist viel besser. Ich meine, wir haben es von einem Interview in EMEA gehört. Some players fühlen sich das ist ein mehr fairer Meta, ohne die Bloodhound featuring so prominently. So wir werden sehen, ob es sich ein bisschen weiterverteilt werden. Aber ein Team gefällt es, ist Complexity. Es ist eine große Herausforderung für sie.

01:19:47 They were already pretty dead cert for Regional Finals, but I think a victory here probably guarantees them Regional Finals. But now they can start to think about how they get to playoffs, and winning games is the best way to get even closer to playoffs. Well, here is what has happened so far. If you're just joining us, welcome along. It's a perfect time for you to join. It was Not Moist who took home game number one with an absolute banger of a game. Timmy win a clutch 1v1 to close that game out for them, that big, big win.

01:20:15 Ich setze sie auf gut für was, was sie auch ein guter Game Nr. 2, mit der EchoHQ-Zone-zonen-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und-und

01:20:41 Wie geht es um die Final-Match-Day? Wie geht es um die Regional-Finals? Kannst du vielleicht auch die Spiel-Spotter-Play-Offs in der Game-Stars? Wie geht es um ein bisschen mehr Konfusion zu dem Mix? Und wir werden sehen, ob wir mehr Unpredictable Zones werden, oder ob es ein bisschen mehr Dead-Sert gibt, wie eine Down-Beast-Zone, die wir früher in EMEA gesehen haben, in dem EMEA war, wo alle kinder wissen, wo es endetig war.

01:21:06 Let's see what surprises are in store for us now. I've now got to the point where I accept that my zone knowledge is not what it once was, and it's not actually my fault. It's the game's fault. I try my best, everyone. Trust me, I watch a lot of this game. But...

01:21:25 Ja, es gibt noch ein paar Teams, die noch nicht...

01:21:51 der Form, wenn sie sie brauchen. Ich meine, eine große 2-2-2-2-2 für Native, zum Beispiel. Sie sind in 23rd Position in den Overalls. Sie sind über 4 Punkte entfernt von den Top 20, so werden sie in den Top 2 in den Top 2 gewinnen, um sie zu den Upper Echelon dieser Leaderboarden und vielleicht geben sie das Chance, um sie zu den Regional Finals zu kommen, weil es natürlich auch eine große Herausforderung wäre, wenn sie nicht able zu kommen. Aber sie waren gegen die Wallen, wenn sie die Veränderung gemacht haben, wenn Snipe Down war, so sie hatten vieles zu tun.

01:22:20 They're certainly closing in on a potential regional finals. As for complexity, as I mentioned, I think it's now starting to drift towards the conversation of can they make LAN? Being in 10th position at the moment, they are in one of those LAN spots, but with regional finals still to play, they have to be not only consistent today, but also find consistency when regional finals come around. Well, an Elrod drop is going to be good for them as well, of course. It's one of the strongest POIs in the entirety of Stormpoint, and they... I would say that...

01:22:48 The fact that they had to travel so far makes that almost a more impressive performance from them. Now, yes, of course, everybody was banking on the Echo HQ pool, and maybe they had a little bit more info than others when it came to where that zone is going to be going on their rotate-through, being able to hit a couple of beacons. But it ended up being the right gamble for them, and it looks like, Dan, we might be going back to Jurassic again. Yeah, it's not far off being the same zone as...

01:23:13 Okay. A yellow, green, and a red.

01:23:41 I just said you don't get to pick. You picked again. I just really want some red Skittles. Okay, so I think Jurassic. Okay, I agree. I'll go Pylon just for the sake of it, just to make it a bit of fun. But anyway, it's definitely going to be Jurassic, is it? Anyway, the teams who are already making their way there, Oblivion, again, it's another opportunity for them to put in a good performance. The fact that they have the zone right on their POI. Elsewhere, other teams are probably thinking, really? We're going back here once again.

01:24:11 Aber wenn du schon gesehen hast, wenn du schon gesehen hast, wenn du gesehen hast, wenn du dann die Entscheidung auswählen kannst, ist das Spiel zu tun? Aber ich denke, dass Jurassic ist eine safe Bank, aber auch wenn es nicht der Worte ist. Ich weiß, dass es durch die Jurassic Doors geht, aber ich denke, es ist schwerer zu gehen von Pylon zu Pylon zu Pylon zu Pylon zu Pylon zu Pylon zu Pylon zu Pylon. Ich will sagen, wenn es Pylon geht,

01:24:41 I'm going to cheer. Because it would be one of the most troll Zone Balls that will completely fry the brains and all of the wiring of every single IGL in this lobby. Because no one is safe. They'll start to question everything at that point. Their existence. Am I in the Matrix? Well, a lot of teams have banked on it being Jurassic. We can already see all of the early movers.

01:25:06 Now, there will be the situation where the late arrivals might have to just commit to Pylon anyway, because you predict that no one is going to have left you space in Jurassic. So there is that possibility of if there was a crazy ship, you might be able to benefit. Suite's gone down again.

01:25:22 Lgr having a rough one to say the least at the moment it's C9 who get that first knock and it was LG who were trying to force their position for one of the Godspots and Cloud9 quite simply said how dare you this is ours and now once again it's about retreating and Sweet oh no he's got a knockdown shield it's gonna be finished off again so Sweet goes down and LG back down to two it has not been a storm point to remember for them

01:25:44 Aber ich denke, das ist okay und erwartet, wenn sie die letzte pick auf Stormpoint sind. Sie werden von Skyhook spielen, wenn es zu Worlds Edge geht. So sie können sicherlich versuchen, das eine. Playing von Coastal ist vielleicht nicht der besten PoI für Loot. Es ist die Least Desirable PoI in der Spiel, aber vielleicht gibt es eine Antwort. Nein, da war eine kleine Hoffnung für LG. Aber sie gehen in 20th Position, und es muss sich Worlds Edge und Skyhook versuchen, das Spiel zu versuchen, das Matchday für sie. Ich meine...

01:26:10 Ich bin nicht zu lieben, ich habe ihn in Sykes zu sein, um ein Elden Lord zu bekommen. Und ich dachte für einen Moment, dass er etwas zu tun hat. Er hat einen Mimic-Teer zu versuchen, aber er hat sich nicht zu tun. Aber er hat sich nicht zu tun, aber es war einfach nicht zu tun. Sein I do Holden und es wird LG out early wieder. Complexity jetzt über den Cliff-Side ist, noch ein bisschen mit den Fluffy-Aimers. Und sie werden können ihren Weg weitergehen. Ich liebe die Idee, dass Monsoon kind of... Walks towards a...

01:26:39 Ich glaube, das ist ein ganzes Jahr für den Triple Take, das ist ein guter Jahr für den Triple Take. So, er geht mit den Triple Take heute. Ich mag das. Er macht ihn aus, und macht ihn aus dem Shelf. Und er macht ihn mit dem Long Range Weapon in den Hand. Und ich denke, dass Complexity jetzt, die Victory unter der Welt, finden sich in den Top 2 in den Top 2, nimmt viel Druck aus.

01:27:06 They weren't really looking like they would ever be not at Regional Finals. With the points they've already accumulated, they were almost guaranteed being there anyway. But their chances of getting to playoffs increases tenfold if they can have a good day today going into Regional Finals. So that's going to take a lot of that weight off their shoulders. And now they can look to kind of extend that victory, go into match three here, try and find yet another amount of points. Remember, they have one of the better POIs when it does come to Storm Point. So they are going to have one of the...

01:27:35 Worst POIs when it comes to Worlds Edge. So it is important that you get the points on the board here for Stormpoint. Also, going into Regional Finals, it's much easier to think, hey, we want to be in a position where we only have to finish top 12 in comparison to we have to finish top six. You know, all of those kind of things come into the equation a little bit. We saw Not Moist taking a little bit of damage there as well, but it looks like they were able to reset momentarily, if I'm not mistaken. Upgrade time! He's flicked back through that Oak Cabinet, and he's found himself a Sentinel.

01:28:04 I wonder if Complexity really what their plan is from this position because they're gonna have to go through potentially lead esports and eternal who are all south of them they could try and wrap around and go further west and then try and attack the zone from the north which the zone is by the way shifting towards Jurassic so our skittles will not be disappearing today no matter the color we get three oh well yeah you did say pilot but I know you didn't really mean it so I'd feel bad taking the skittles away from you can they be red ones

01:28:33 Eterna EC, versuchen ihre Weg in. Ich versuche die Frage zu stellen.

01:28:42 Yes, you can have Red Skittles. Just so you stop asking. You're like that annoying kid who asks all the way home like, can we stop, can we get some food? And you just don't stop. And I'm the parent who says we have food at home. You're the parent who says you can hold your bladder for two whole hours. I refuse to stop. I was about to say...

01:29:05 Oh, your parents really mean to you, but your parents are lovely, so I can't even say that. So anyway, Team Liquid. Team Liquid are on the south side, just outside of Barometer. Still not moist to the team who were having a little look at them, but decided not to involve themselves too much. Not Moisture's rotation looks like it's going to be towards Pylon, unless Liquid Alienware present them with an opportunity maybe to cut one down. But you mentioned how you were interested in what complexity you're going to do. Well, they're going to hit a...

01:29:28 A Survey Beacon to find out what everyone else is doing first. Yeah, this will allow them to move from the north. I mean, it might. If they see the right thing on a Survey Beacon, it could get them going. And they can now move from the north. They might notice that there is a gap somewhere in Jurassic that they could land on or they could try and push in from. They can certainly take the buildings that are just north of Jurassic for now. And it is playable space that they can survive in and maybe even just get into the top 15 as their first day.

01:29:58 Es ist gut!

01:30:23 Du hast einen Spieler, die all die Headshots kann, und Designful wird die Schmerzen aus dem Dämmchen. Aber er wird vielleicht auch hier verletzt. Der erste Knot kommt von Enemy. Der Knot kommt von Enemy. Oh mein Gott. Es wird Disguised werden. Die Wipe Vanity werden in 19. Und jetzt Disguised werden, nicht nur die Victory bekommen, aber sie haben auch diese Position.

01:30:43 auf der Norden Seite der Circle, das wird in den nächsten zwei Zonen sein. Also eine gute Chance zu kommen, nicht nur in die Top 15, sondern auch in die Top 10, mit dem Team sind noch nicht in die Position, in die Zonen.

01:30:56 Really important win for Disguised and still continues their journey of trying to get to Regional Finals. Remember, it was going to have to be a very big match week for them. They find themselves within the top 10 at the moment. They're 28th in the overall standings. They have to have one of their biggest match weeks ever if they're going to be in Regional Finals.

01:31:17 We're easy trying to force their way past complexity at the moment complexity holding the edge of zone is purple purple purple purple purple purple It's a purple party over here when it goes to armors a lot of peas quite happy You got that one out was always always almost have managed to have a little bit of a slip of the tongue a little bit earlier when it threw out to the break but It's gonna be sent in the hands of monsoon looking to see if it forced them away enough and that there's back isn't going to be wrapped here so complexity

01:31:42 Und jetzt schauen wir an, ob es eine Ring-Console gibt, oder ob es noch mehr Informationen gibt, aber ich glaube, es ist nicht. Aber ich glaube, es ist, es wird aus Gut Instinct gehen und was sie gesehen haben, von der vorherigen Survey. Beacon, Eternal. Vielleicht ist es ein bisschen Unsehen hier.

Frühe Spielphase und Teamdynamiken

01:32:08

01:32:08 Und vielleicht sind wir ein bisschen über Komplastien zu schauen. Oder sie versuchen zu Ambush jemanden über sie. Ich kann es sehen auf meinem Minimap jetzt. Aber ja, die Fluffy-Aimers sind einfach nur auf dem hier. Wir haben ein Potenzial Ambush. Das ist ein Sad Moment für Hambino. Ja, Sad Moment complete. Und es sieht aus, dass sie die Spieler auf den Zonen werden. Aber die Problem ist, Eternally, sie sehen sie 1K, aber was ist jetzt? Weil sie haben eine Evac-Tower zu kommen. Kann sie in die Zone kommen?

01:32:36 Comfortablie, weil Disguys sind in der Tunnel und Komplexity sind auch. Und das ist auch ein Spiel, das ist, wie man sich das, wie man sich jetzt ein Kp ist? Du hast 1 Kp, aber du bist wahrscheinlich nur umgekehrt. Das ist wirklich, die Fluffy-Aimers werden, besonders wenn sie das E.E.C., weil ich sagte, dass die E.E.T.E.N.E.N.E.E.N.E. heute, wenn sie in die Region Finals sind. Die Fluffy-Aimers sind in 22nd position. Sie sind einfach außerhalb.

01:33:01 Ich bin jetzt hier, ich bin jetzt hier.

01:33:27 Okay, I'm trying to hold... 31 und boom! Okay, I'm gonna push up off this, okay? What are you seeing? I can't tell, I can't tell. I'm scanning it. Double scan, one died, one died!

01:33:40 Wir haben mehr Platz auf unserer Seite.

01:34:07 On me guys, I'm on me! I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm scanning first. I hit him, I hit him on purple. Scanning. I have to heal from behind. They bang on to me. You have to smoke me. You have to smoke me. You have to smoke me. You have to smoke me. You have to smoke me. You have to smoke me. I know. Just back it. I mean, we can play smokes too. Safe on me. I'm probably fucked here. Okay, that somehow hit me. My bangles coming down. No, nothing. Nothing on bangles. One to 90. No smoke for 20.

01:34:34 We do we will Come back to me No, dude, fuck Where's the outside Jurassic team?

01:34:56 Ja, Bleed haben sich jetzt in den Top 5 zu sehen, aber es ist nicht vorbei für sie jetzt, denn Native Gaming ist jetzt ein wenig zu sehen. Das kann passieren, in einem kurzen wie dieser, wo es sehr schwierig zu finden, wo es in Jurrasik ist, wo es sehr schwierig zu finden, in Jurrasik zu finden, die Leute starten...

01:35:20 Move towards any sort of commotion that they hear happening on the outer edges of the map because KP is available for them. As now the bubble goes down, that will be indication that it is Native that Bleed are fighting against.

01:35:31 Erkstar ist in der Droppe. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in. Erkstar geht in.

01:35:59 Furia, NGNL, Bord, Disguise and Bleed all have to still approach this zone and it's going to be teams like TSM, Liquid Alienware, Tempo who are going to have eyes on all of these squads arriving late and have the potential to ruin their day or just ruin this game to be honest and get some KP. Bleed, if they wanted to, can maybe force their way and wedge their way into zone but there's lack of playable space really worries me. Lack of cover when you get to a zone like this.

01:36:29 Easy kill here for Vaxelon, playing off the damage. It should be two. NGNL Esports, well, they get run over as well. No real contest there between them and Furia, who continue to move forward. And with Vaxelon with a bow check in his hands.

01:36:41 Und dann Evac ist es auch möglich, dass sie sich in die Position beherrschen können, wo sie durch diese Tunnel können. Evac geht's, er machte die Team aus, er machte die Team aus, er machte das Team aus, und jetzt ist er zu versuchen, Kion, er hat eine Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal, er hat die Heal.

01:37:00 TSM, sie sind nach links zu sehen, aber jetzt sind sie zurück in die Gebäude zu schauen, und es wird BLEED zu versuchen, es wird BLEED zu versuchen, als BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen, die BLEED zu versuchen.

01:37:23 ... ... ... ... ... ...

01:37:32 Absolutely decimated as well. Oblivion go down. Now Liquid Alienware against Cloud9. And also TSM versus Disguise. Disguise trying to take this position off of TSM. But TSM very low. But still have just been able to Scarper away to be able to reset. The push has not allowed Disguise to get the knocks they would have wanted. And actually they've lost Designful. But now we get a trade. Disguise though will be eliminated. Five squads remain. TSM holds strong onto their building here. Should be able to get a reset here as well. Was not finished off rep. So reps can get back into this game elsewhere.

01:38:01 Yeah, Empire with a chance to really disrupt things and maybe...

Endspielstrategien und Teamzusammensetzungen

01:38:30

01:38:30 Annoi a team and be a thorn in their side with the likelihood is Empire will not be winning this game instead we'd be looking to our full three so TSM on the far east Liquid Alienware have to approach from the south but I said about this zone there is a lack of cover to work with so if you can find any sort of anything to hide behind whether it's a rock whether it's a blade of grass something that will give you cover it can be very advantageous when we get to this final circle is now Liquid Alienware will move in as they start to target board here

01:38:58 Ich bin der Bangle. Sie wollen den Bangle. Sie wollen den Bangle. Sie wollen den Bangle. Sie können den Bangle. Sie wissen, wo der Team ist. Janja ist zu finden, um sie zu finden, um sie zu finden. So dass sie nicht von den Bangle. Und bei dem so, unfortunately für ihn, der Rollen Thunder von Zapf ist, wird ihn auf den Bangle. Es ist ein Bangle. Und dann ist es ein Bangle. Und dann ist es ein Bangle. Und dann ist es ein Bangle. Und dann ist es ein Bangle. Und dann ist es ein Bangle. Team Liquid Anywhere. All right, Eliminated. Wir sind down to 3.

01:39:20 This should be TSM's game. Surely there's no way they throw this one away from here. Empire has a solo and they're against Borde. So really they just have to wait for the solo to kind of get involved and maybe do a little bit of damage. TSM are closer to this zone as well. Borde will have to drop first and get involved. The only worry for TSM is lack of cover, but they've been able to find a little ledge to work with. Also getting absolutely nailed by a triple take is going to help if you're trying to force your way onto their position.

01:39:48 Bord will have to drop and Bord have just dropped. They've swung out to the left, I think. They're trying to take some angles and TSM decide, hey, let's just back up. Let's reset. Let's let the lobby take care of itself. Empire Gaming will be eliminated. So the solo has gone and the triple take again is still causing them some problems. They have to just buy their time here, TSM.

01:40:07 It's not actually as much of a guarantee as I first thought, now that the Empire solo has been eliminated so successfully by Borde. Very impressive from them to recognize it was a solo. It could have been a thorn in the side, but they quickly ensure that they take him down. So now it's a straight 3v3. Yes, Borde do have to drop first, but there is certain cover that they can play with. If they use smokes effectively, they can smoke out TSM and get into a position to maybe take some high ground away from them here. This is going to be a very interesting engagement, and ultimates could be a huge difference here.

01:40:37 Sie sehen, Verhoßt hat einen Schmocken zu arbeiten, aber keine Bangeholt er kann. Jenner ist auch so, die Grenzen sind nicht mehr effektiv. TSM wird es gut sein. Reps ist die Anker-Roll an der Moment, und er wird vielleicht für einen Stich, als der Spieler versucht zu fallen, um ein bisschen zu schlafen.

TSM's Triumph und Meta-Analyse

01:40:54

01:40:54 He's now going to have to move up to his teammate. But the Catwall is going to force TSM away. But there's the Gen doing its job. It's going to eat up all of those grenades that are being thrown. And MJ takes some damage. The Scan comes in and TSM realizes that he's isolated. They're trying to swing on him. I love the Catwall to try and take the high ground. And I love the swing from TSM as well. And they do get the opener here. Zap will get that opener. Verholz will follow up. And Verholz will finish off as well. TSM will win the final game here on Stormpoint.

01:41:20 Und das Wadson-Pick war eine der größten Reise für es. Es gab einen guten Schuss, der Spieler war ein bisschen isoliert. Und TSM, sie funktioniert gut.

01:41:30 TSM send themselves into first place after Stormpoint and they put themselves again in that conversation. We said if they have a just good match week here today, if they find one of those second places that they've seen before, the first places we've seen before, LAN will be guaranteed and TSM will once again be playing in front of a crowd in Mannheim, Germany. And with a performance like that, that should be enough points to really secure them in the overalls. But they'll want to win this entire match day. They will want to try and prove a point and put themselves up there with the likes of Falcons.

01:41:59 Likes of SSG, Likes of Furia, who have been able to take away so many points in the previous match weeks. Yeah, very, very impressive stuff from TSM in that endgame as well. And I think, you know, you're always looking for an opening. And one thing that you take yourself back a few weeks, I mean, you heard the, you probably saw the Verholz, probably the most animated I've seen him at one point in an endgame where he was like, why did we not do anything? We didn't push less, we didn't push right, we were just split about doing nothing. It felt like there was a real kind of...

01:42:25 clear decision that was being made at all points about who they wanted to focus and how they wanted to focus in that endgame. And Evan will bring you back in as well to have a chat about this because TSM look like they are making some real solid decisions at just the right time as well.

01:42:38 I love what I'm seeing from them. There's a level of maturity that ends up showing up when I look at TSM again, because again, just a huge task in the middle of your season, in the middle of a year, year four, things change. And so you've got to find a way to create even leadership conversations that were not a thing before. Verhulst was not used to yelling at his teammates like that. He was receiving a lot of that admonition or he was receiving, you know, having to talk back about his experience and why that didn't go that way. It was one of the biggest.

01:43:08 Das ist das, was ich finde, hat wirklich geöffnet up his opportunities zu sagen, zu sagen, zu tun es in den manchen he fühlen. Clearly, Reps ist auf dem Bord. Clearly, Zap ist auch auf dem Bord. Und sie sind listening zu ihm. Der Energie von TSM ist schwer zu compare, was die Dynasty war von ihnen in terms of success. In terms of vibes, es fühlt sich wie sie haben die richtige Mix jetzt. Und ein 25-pointer ist, das ist easy zu pointen. Aber es sieht auch an diese Bottom 10-teams.

01:43:36 Und ich sage das ein bisschen über LG. Zero Points ist ein bisschen schwierig für mich jetzt. Obviamente EEC, man, sie spielen Spoiler zu viele Teams. Sie sehen es mit Native, Sie sehen es mit Complexity, Sie sehen es mit C9. Sie haben es mit vier Teams jetzt an dieser Stelle. So, was wird es passieren mit dem? Sie sind immer wieder involviert, werden die Kills. Ich würde gerne sehen, aber als wir über die Serie Resultate gehen. Obviamente, TSM mit dem Win. Damn, sie haben sich in die Position zu leaden dieses Group auf der Final Matchday.

01:44:04 Ja, lead the group and go into World's Edge, where, again, I mentioned at the top of the show, they had a draft POI pick where they were kind of in the middle for the pick, so they were going to have two pretty average POIs, so to pick up 43 points from Storm Point puts them in such a good position for World's Edge now to really try and take this match week, but they are not too far behind, are not moist, and not moist is an entirely different story for them. They are trying to get within.

01:44:28 The Regional Finals, TSM are already there. They're looking to try and secure themselves at LAN, but not mostly the way they've been playing. Regional Finals look like a dead soot at this point. And what's interesting too, a team that's in 6th place or was in that Final Zone board, they're also at...

01:44:43 In 19th place tied with UCX, CCE, who are not playing today. So they just need a few points. Right now, they certainly look like they're going to set themselves up to be in top 20 for regional finals, which is what you can hope for at this stage of the game. Somebody who is going to be in those regional finals as well is going to talk to us about what's been going on, the changes here in Apex Legends, as well as what's happened these last three games. It's NRG Hadsick here with us. You see him at LAN. You see him on the Halftime Show. Hadsick, welcome back. Thanks for spending some time with us today.

01:45:11 I mean, it's always good to be back, man. Love being part of these guests.

01:45:15 OG, OG, you really do get the OG cast member card, I think, at this point. So it feels natural. We are wishing you guys the best. I know you obviously want to be competing. Right now you're sitting in ninth, currently qualified. We'll see if you can maintain and improve upon that. But what I want to know, and I think a lot of people want to know, is because you've got such a great mind for the game in your coaching position, what is your thought on this new meta, this new season that has given the rise to Pathfinder, officially kind of

01:45:45 Ended the must-have Bloodhound Bangalore meta. What is your take on it and what can we expect going forward here as we look towards the end with these regional finals and obviously looking towards lands in terms of compositions? I think I echo kind of a lot of the sentiments, a lot of the players and stuff do right now. At the moment, it's pretty painful with the way people are playing Fuse because you kind of have to, right? If everyone's doing, you kind of have to do it as well.

01:46:11 Aber ich denke, wir sind ein paar Veränderungen aus, von einem wirklich, wirklich tollen Meta. Ich glaube, dass Pathfinder ist zurück, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, dass es nicht jemanden wird, wie fast, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die.

01:46:38 Obviously Seer takes the cake for, you know, being your wallhack type character now. So, you know, I think we all feel pretty similarly about Seer. But overall, I think it's actually like we're a couple changes away from a really, really, really fun meta, I think.

01:46:52 Well, firstly, I'm going to jump in and say hello. It's great to see you as always. I want to talk a little bit about your season so far. NRG, it started off extremely well. And, you know, we're good friends. We can talk about this, right? It's 15 points game day number one, 12 points game day number two, 13, 16. Then we have the meta shift coming in and one point and four points respectively. Talk to me as honestly as you want to about this, how it's impacted your team and what's kind of not...

01:47:20 Ich denke, ich denke, es hat nichts zu tun mit Meta-Shift für uns. Ich sage das, weil wir alle, die letzten zwei Game Days haben einfach nur voll von wirklich, wirklich frustrierenden Mistaken. Und was ich meine bei das ist, wenn wir eine Macro-Mistake haben, unsere Team Comp ist nicht richtig, oder vielleicht unsere POIs nicht gut sind. Even mit nicht guter POIs, wir usually können wir decenter Points von ihnen. Wenn es ein Bad Mistake ist,

01:47:49 Um, I can deal, I can work all day with, you know, our comp is off, our approach to zone is either too early, too late, all that type of stuff. That is so adjustable for me, but what's frustrating for me is that we've been in, the last few game days has just been full of really small micro-mistakes, where one person is just not necessarily maybe doing their due diligence to make sure, like, the spot that we're about to play is open.

01:48:10 Es ist komplett secure, vielleicht nicht in der backen. Es gibt wirklich kleine Mikro-Mistakes, aber die letzten zwei Gameday haben sich komplett voll. Es fühlt sich nicht so, dass wir alle auf der gleichen Seite sind. Und es ist einfach so, es sind wirklich kleine Dinge, die nur einmal oder zweitens passieren. Sie sind ein bisschen zu viel passiert. Es ist so, es ist frustrierend für mich, aber ich habe versucht, meine Besten zu arbeiten, um es ein bisschen zu machen.

01:48:35 I'm excited to see what changes for regional finals for you guys, but now it's my favorite part of the show because I get to pick your brain on some of these final circles and what you may have seen. Match one, we had an incredible victory from NotMoist. How impressed are you with how they performed in this opening game? I mean, this team is just, I've always, if anyone watched The Last Land, especially the broadcast, I was a huge fan of this team. Them throwing Timmy on, I've actually been a big, big fan of this. I think Timmy just brings a really good energy to a team, so.

01:49:04 Ich bin wirklich sehr froh, dass sie hier einfach aussehen. Ich meine, sie sind so großartig, sie sind so stark. Ich denke, die Welt von Walsi und Guilden sind nicht so großartig. Sie haben ein wenig FUNK gemacht, aber es ist einfach so schön, dass sie wieder zurückkommen sind. Und es ist ein tolles 1v1 von Timmy im Endeffekt, in der Endeffekt von Timmy, wie es ein tolles Pickup von NotMoist gewinnen. Ich glaube, wir waren alle impressed.

01:49:31 Ema-K not dead, he's very much alive. Match number two, Complexity, we're able to get the victory, but it was an interesting zone shift away from Echo. Did you see this one coming? Would you have called this zone? Weirdly enough, a lot of Echo Zones, I think, kind of tend to, like...

01:49:49 Ich glaube, wir haben diese Zeit, in der letzten Meta, bevor wir diese Ring-Patch hatten, es fühlt sich wie alle Zone, wenn es in Echo's Distiniti war, es wäre Echo. Jetzt fühlt sich das Logik verändert, wenn es einfach nur ein paar Zahlen gibt.

01:50:06 Ich weiß nicht, ob ich die Zonen nicht. Ich denke, wenn Plexi gespielt hat, diese Monsoon, mit den großen Kallzonen, zu sagen, hey, wir müssen die Leute aufbauen, wir müssen die Leute aufbauen und spielen für alle die Kills. Das gefällt mir auch, dass wir die alten Monsoon wiedersehen können.

Strategische Wendungen und Team-Dynamiken im späteren Spielverlauf

01:50:24

01:50:24 The old monsoon back and thriving. Now we have this final 3v3 in Jurassic. TSM able to get the victory in the end. A lot to consider here though. The position that you play and the ultimates you have available and any utility. What did you see in these final moments? I mean TSM just is...

01:50:41 In the most perfect spot you possibly can be, right? They're sitting in the center zone, they don't have to move anywhere, and they have a Watson. Which is just like, that is the dream scenario. Because Watson's a character obviously that doesn't like to move around a lot. You know, you want to pick up a spot, you want to hold it down and play off that. And especially in pro play, you know, utility is so important. The way you use your smokes, the way you use your grenades, or any other throwable utilities.

01:51:05 Well, Hot Stick Watson played a huge role in our last Split 1 Finals. In fact, the team who won Reject Twinity was using a Watson as well. They were also using Triple Takes, but we won't go into that.

01:51:33 One thing, though, that is so human about this, and I love the way that you approach this with us, the honesty of sometimes you just have these mistakes. Reject Winity will not be defending their LAN title. Whatever those little mistakes was, it was enough to mean that we will have a new champion as well. So I say that only to say it happens to everybody. Bad splits happen to everybody. We've highlighted that as well. But also for someone like you heading into very important regional finals, and obviously we hope LAN, what's the one thing you think you can control the most for yourself?

01:52:02 your team that you're gonna focus on here to get them ready to go and get the results you guys know you deserve um most of it is just like i feel like our gameplay is just kind of discombobulated we're not on the same page um and that's something i've been trying to work on and it's been getting a little bit better but it's just um this last game day was definitely kind of uh it was a it was technically an improvement over the uh the one before it but it was still

01:52:26 We still got a little bit to go. I know the players weren't 100%. Reptar was like super sick all weekend. And I could, you know, you could tell he was having trouble holding any food down for like three days. So that's a little tough when you have to have a game day on something like that. But, you know, I'm sure we can bounce back. I mean, if you watch the EWC qualifiers, you know, only top two teams out of 150 move on.

01:52:54 It was a little rocky start for us, but we came back and we won it all. And I have no doubt in my mind that Nock and Fond and Rep can bring it back together. Well, I'm sure they appreciate you standing by their side and keeping the vision for where you're headed in alignment with them. Thank you, man, again, for hanging out with us on the broadcast. And one way or the other, we do hope to see you in Mannheim. And of course, good luck in the regional finals. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

01:53:22 All right, Hot Sick Coach of NRG, talking a lot about, you know, the struggles, the ups and downs. I mean, that is the reality of competition as well. It's so much of a mental game, emotional game, physical game, being sick. We just see the digital part. That is what makes esports unusual. But right now, I want to take Mark to go on a break here, I believe. And me and Dan will get going here for this cast in game number four.

01:53:46 But yeah, talking about it, Dan, there's a lot of international competition right now. You got Copas, you got Euros, you got the ALGS. I know those are basically the top three in the world going on right now. But at the end of the day, yeah, sometimes it's physical. Sometimes it's just a mistake. You do everything right. And there's nothing else to say except I missed a shot or I wasn't paying attention. Sometimes that's as simple as it is. And I always want to highlight the humanity of these athletes that are competing, you know, on this stage for us.

01:54:11 Well, we joked before broadcast about the difference between the Euros and the Copa with the lack of extra time in the Copa. Well, extra time equivalent in ALGS is going into Regional Finals, right? To be able to get that one last chance to get to LAN. And there will be some teams who have to rely on getting a victory there. Now, as we look across at the POI draft, we mentioned it, LG had an awful time on Stormpoint, but they were down at Coastal. Now they're going to be at the best POI on World's Edge from SkyWest. And DSG, a team who need a big match week as well.

01:54:40 They're landing down towards Thermal, a very familiar POI for them to work with, and Native at Monument. So three of the biggest POIs that has seen success, that has arguably one of the better loot pools. Three teams who kind of need it for different reasons. LG want to be able to put themselves on a pedestal so that they can secure LAN, whereas DSG and Native both still fighting to try and get into Regionals.

01:55:02 TSM und Climastizer West ist auch ein guter Platz für sie zu behalten. Und jetzt geht es um die Führung des Picks. Bord, das war in der Final 2. Sie nehmen Lava Fischer aus der westen Seite dieser Map. Mirage-Atoile, hier sind sie, und da sie sind. FURIA, ein Team wir sehen, dass wir großartig sind. Sie haben es gut gemacht. Sie können sie wiederholfen, wiederholfen, wiederholfen.

01:55:31 Hold some of the southern side of this and complexity as well on the south with tree c9 rounding it out in epicenter to just good spots Consistent spots for these teams the rotations not too complicated But where will our first zone go that often decides it Dan and makes one of these decisions look like you're a genius or maybe a fool. Yeah, I mean, it's

01:55:54 Das ist eine der Dinge, die man nicht kontrolliert hat in Apex. Das ist ein paar Dinge, natürlich, aber es gibt immer die Teams, die in Apex thrive in Apex.

01:56:02 ELEMENT OF CHANGE AND BEING ABLE TO ADAPT ON THE FLY OF WHERE THAT ZONE IS GOING TO SHIFT TO AND HOW TO MOVE YOUR ROTATION AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS ABOUT THE SWITCH TO THE POI DRAFT IS THAT YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS BE THINKING ON YOUR FEET IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME THING EVERY WEEK IN WEEK OUT WHERE YOU HAVE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE ROTATIONS YOU DO EVERY SINGLE TIME INSTEAD YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD FROM ALMOST EVERY POI AND ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SEGMENT

01:56:26 Das ist eine große Frage. Und natürlich Native Gaming mit der Change kommen durch, mit Snipe Down.

01:56:55 his history in console esports in general and now moving into pc esports as well i think that he is one of the best controller players that we've seen throughout multiple titles and he wasn't in regional finals i would be surprised so we'll have to see whether native gaming can get there or not one of the interesting elements about that kick with native as well is that snipedown is on the seer and one of the

01:57:19 Interessant remarks Furia Keon made yesterday in his MVP interview was, that was what freed him up. Not really having to play an ability-type legend like Affuse and giving that to Madness, who's on M&K, because it's so much easier for that M&K player to really aim those abilities accurately and not, you know, kind of slightly miss it onto a ledge or something that can happen with a controller at long distance. Curious to see how Snipedown can take on that Seer. We know he's got the experience, but sometimes, yeah, it is a little bit more comfortable for those M&K.

01:57:48 K-Players to do it, but they're rocking to Gibraltar as well, so it seems like Arcane is just trying to get everything as, you know, as even as possible. Something's not going to be perfect at the end of the day. Hopefully they can get some results here as they look to start their game in Game 4 on World's Edge and get a little momentum. Well, TSM starting up towards Climatizer here and where they're going to be dropping for the next few games, of course, in the zone.

01:58:12 We are going to be heading a little bit closer towards Skyhook. Now, the zone in the way it has been shifted, I wouldn't be surprised if we do end up within Skyhook, but there is always that possibility of a zone shift, and we've seen a few zone shifts today. But for TSM, they are going to have to move their way through Likelihood, Survey Camp, then through the train tracks, then into Skyhook if they wanted to play that. If they want to bank on a zone shift, they can play to the south of Skyhook, of course, but...

01:58:39 Looking at that circle, I think Skyhook is a good prediction. If you want to be kind of 50-50, you could try and play the Vault area, and it looks like both Temper and Oblivion having a little race towards it in the moment, but Temper might have just pipped them.

01:58:52 Das ist ein guter Platz für das, weil es das High Ground nearby ist, sehr easy für ein Team zu halten und contesten Sie auf. Wenn Sie wollen, es ist es schwer für Sie zu halten, obwohl Sie können es für ein paar Rounds für ein Team starten zu halten und finden Sie einen KP. Wenn Sie nicht, wenn Sie nicht auf den Weg gehen, ist es wirklich nur woanders zu gehen, aber TSM, auf der Topseite, wie Sie gesagt haben, ist es ein schönes Rotation. Survey Camp wird offen für jetzt. Cloud9 haben bereits gemacht ihre Move in, Behind Bleed E.

01:59:21 So we'll see how this develops.

01:59:25 We really don't want to fight either of us know we could win this so let's just

01:59:53 Truly 50-50 split and not get aggressive? Yeah, I think it's two teams who are intelligent enough to know how detrimental it could be if you start trying to fight a little bit too early. And especially two teams who are looking to do very different things as well. LG just looking to try and be consistent, secure playoffs. Whereas you've got NotMoist who still are thinking about just qualifying for regional finals. So a very different approach and it will mean they just kind of...

02:00:15 Und nice to each other certainly in match number four and five maybe things change depending on how much six the layer the land is but with the zone coming towards skyhook definitely brilliant for not moist and LG because they are going to be able to just loot up in their POI find a building and comfortably reside I guess the downside is

02:00:32 You won't necessarily have the armors that some are going to have on the late arrival, so you really do have to try and improve those armors by shooting out of the people that arrive late, try and get those evos up a little bit so that you can at least have blues, if not purples, to try and contest. Tons of seers in this lobby as we break down a little bit of the Skywest action so far over in Skyhook.

02:00:54 We can't predict. So the Watson defensiveness will go for that. But now they...

02:01:23 Es fühlt sich wie sie wollen, mit dieser Welt's Edge pick. Und ich bin all für es. Ich denke, es ist eine gute Charaktere. Es ist interessant, wie die Watsen, wenn wir darüber reden, oder nicht, wenn sie spielt oder nicht, ist sie immer eine große Faktor, wenn wir landen. Du sprichst über Sia, und viele von ihnen ist es ein 100% pickrate für Sia. So die Sia meta ist offiziell zurück in Nordamerika. Und es war das Frage, ob das Wettbewerb wird, wenn wir Bloodhound haben.

02:01:47 Have those changes. And suddenly now Sia is the number one information legend. And alongside Bangalore at 95%. Instead of it being the Bloodhound.

02:01:57 Bang Meta, es ist der Seer Bang Meta. Aber natürlich ist es weniger Visual Clutter, es ist nicht der We-Kan-See-Any-Thing-Meta-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-Hand-We-H

02:02:23 Well, actually, what started that point for me that I kind of thought about was the impact of getting silenced by a Seer to a Watson, who's pretty much got her fences down, he's got her pylon down, it's really no impact. But getting silenced as a fuse, getting silenced as a catalyst in an endgame where you have to drop that dark veil, you need to throw that knuckle cluster to add the pressure or mother load is going to be open now and not in two seconds after they cross that threshold.

02:02:46 That's huge. So in many ways, I do feel like Sear, it works better against these other two legends that have shown up in the phrase, the kind of third pick choices in Fuse and Catalyst over some of the more niche picks that we've seen from Watson. Still a few in the lobby here, though TSM have swapped as we get a top-down overview of Skyhook, people making their positions and getting that zip line back in the ALGS. You gotta love it.

02:03:11 Yeah, I like what Hodzik touched upon, that no one's really going to complain about Pathfinder being back in the meta, because Pathfinder is just such an enjoyable character to play and to watch, and adds that extra dynamic to Apex Legends. Now, the next zone is about to be on our screen as round one does close, and I think it's evidently going to end up in Skyhook. I don't think it's going to be anything that is too crazy here with how it shifts, and I am correct, it is going to carry on transitioning towards Skyhook, so nothing...

02:03:39 It's going to benefit those teams arriving late. Maybe you hope for an irrational zone pull, but not going to be the case today. Disguised are going to have to move all the way around on the west side, but as you can see, plenty of playable space still within the west of Skyhook. Now, we have seen zones finish around that kind of middle cake building that Mark likes to call it and always makes me hungry. And you can see a few teams have already positioned themselves on that height, hoping that the zone does continue to pull that way.

02:04:08 Stahlions and Fluffy Amers on that late rotation south. Disguised as well. I actually kind of like this position too. They could wrap west and they have NG&L. They know they want to clear out anybody who's going to try to follow them on that pathway. But Skyhook still plenty of buildings to play. Final buildings though, not so much. I just like teams in a position where you even look at TSM, you look at EEC, they just don't have anybody at their back. I think that's the best thing you could do in this type of clustered, crowded northern zone where

02:04:37 People have played a thousand times in the ALGS. It's one of the most consistent zones that we see in all of our match days. So having at least just nobody to worry about behind you can give you a little bit of confidence moving in. A team that's had tons of confidence, willing to take any fight while it's been EEC. They've been spoiler native to TSM, to Complexity, and of course they're looking to do it to anybody who's in front of them as well.

02:05:01 Well, EEC are going to have to win today if they want to find themselves in regional finals. And being in 16th position, it's looking less and less likely the further we get into our matchdays. But being in that position kind of means it's a screw-it attitude, a fearless approach to taking engagements as well.

02:05:17 If you believe that maybe your time is up and you're not going to make Regionals, suddenly, sometimes some of those decisions, they become a little bit riskier and a little bit more irrational. So we'll have to see how Eternal want to play this one. It looks like they don't want to take the fight against Flat, so there's still some belief that there is life in this one at the moment. They are currently...

02:05:36 Was 30 ish points 36 points away from first place so a lot still to do now complexity they've just taken out native gaming and that is a big loss for native gaming remember they are still searching for a regional spot and that has suddenly taken a big hit going out in 22 position it's it hasn't been a great split for native it's not been a terrible split but averaging scoring in the bottom 10

02:06:01 Almost every single game except that one eighth place performance that they had. I believe in match day number four. It was round two when BNC showed up against each other. Something they're going to try to get better at here. Obviously, going down now, Sleeves only two games left to make that big jump. We'll see if it can. But sometimes the work's already kind of been done heading into this. It is that last ditch effort, that last day for a miracle. But at the end of the day, you're kind of hoping.

02:06:26 für das Miracle. Und wenn das nicht so schnell kommen wird, vielleicht wird es nicht kommen. Ich freue mich zu sehen, die Geschichte zu entwickeln. Ich liebe es. Liquid Alienware, Yana, Jaguaris und Niazol. Holding one of these buildings. Stallions as well, still on the southern side of this map. Now on the opposite, south side. Und staring at Liquid Alienware as well. EEC to their right.

02:06:51 Stallions, die auch in eine andere Position zu den Likes des DSG sind, sind in der 26th Position. So, sie würden wahrscheinlich eine Top-4 heute geben, um sich in die Region Finale zu bekommen. Und sie sind in die 17th Position, so wir werden sehen, ein paar Spiele von ihnen auf World's Edge sehen, wenn sie sich auf Regionals finden. Und die Leute, die Stallions sind, wie Reti, wie Albert Lele, die wir haben gesehen haben.

02:07:15 You just want to see them succeed. You expect to see them succeed. But this goes back to our point that there are so many big names that are not even going to make land, but also may not even make regional finals. And that's how competitive this region is. That's what makes it so impressive for the teams who do stay consistent at the top in those top 10 moments, those top five moments. It's just a big shout out as well. A team we highlighted and it's coming in now with new representation. Bleed Esports with Dropped.

02:07:42 Ich glaube, in einem Situation wie dieser, ich denke, Game 4 ist so wichtig, nicht nur die Punkte du machen, sondern auch die Punkte du machen. Once du in einem Situation in Game 4 geteilt, dass du das Top 6 geteilt hast, und ich glaube, Game 5 und 6, du hast genug Zeit.

02:08:07 Game five, needing it to start happening for you, it feels very, very late, I'm sure, in their eyes for it to go. And Disguise right here, oh, it's gonna be difficult trying to get in with Disguise holding them around. Disguise are gonna need even more points, right? They're gonna need a top three, if not a top two.

02:08:26 Ich denke, dass das Gap, wenn es hier in Match 4 ist, ist, dass es noch eine Chance gibt. Aber es gibt viele Teams auf der Southside, die...

02:08:45 Das ist ein Team für ihn, und es ist LG auf den Backend.

02:09:13 Retzi, Albreleli, and Ram from Stallions will find just a little bit of patience. Plays and impact, but they will have to get the job done here. Silence as well. Seer will have his cue when he gets back up, but he's got eight seconds of not being able to use that or the exhibit. Tough thing to use in a hallway like this, but the exhibit goes up there. So all the resources they've dealt with and a Dark Veil. This is a massive moment. In fact, Stallions can kind of slow play this. They are in the zone right now. They don't have to push yet, but you can tell.

02:09:42 They are not going to be met with anything but immense resistance from NGNL Esports.

02:09:47 Elsewhere, Disguised, they took to the Skies with an Evac Tower, dove into Skyhook, and then sadly lost two members. So not looking very good for Disguised at the moment, as Stallion's continuing to push through this Vault area. NGNL on the other side. Not too much damage has been done by either side yet, so no one committing to this fight. And of course, NGNL, the team that can wait this one out if they would like, but they need to be thinking about what they do next. If they win this fight, where do they go? Because the zone has shifted a little bit further east, which isn't going to be as easy for them to transition.

02:10:16 Das ist die Moment, die Opportunität, die Chance! Albreleli hat einen Clutch auf hier, wenn sie wollen. Ingeniel Esports geht es, Stallions geht durch das Spiel. Und sie leben eine andere Zeit. Albreleli mit einem großen Clutch-Play. Retzi wird aggressiv, auch. Und es funktioniert für sie, um sie zu bleiben. TSM zurück zu einem 4-3 zu bleiben.

02:10:45 Und TSM, die in den ersten Platz sind, hält den Norden von den Tränen.

02:10:52 But then they saw the zone shift east, and they were probably kicking themselves a little bit and saying, all right, well, this isn't going to be the easiest rotation for us, because now they have to move alongside those tracks, and they're already going to be teams inside the buildings that they start to approach. So they're going to have to fight their way in here or try and climb on top and maybe take some space, but not going to be fun either way for whichever decision TSM do decide to make, because it's going to be Bleedy Sports who are going to be one of the squads holding them up.

02:11:16 I mean, one of the hardest things about this right now is figuring out a flat, because they lost a few members, is still a solo or a trio. Moist, though, they have been on fire. They took down that first game with a wonderful 1v1 with Timmy. They're flying it now to see if they can do it again in Game 4.

02:11:36 I got scan. I got scan. I'm scanning. Look for this. Look for this. I scan too. Play in the corner. Play in the corner. Play in the corner. Play in the corner. Play in the corner. I'm back to the corner. I'm going back to the corner. They're swinging. I'm batting. Look to me. Look to me. Looking. I'm batting. I'm batting. I'm batting. I'm batting. I'm batting. I'm batting. I'm batting. Bang. Bang for you. Drop. Drop. Drop. Drop. Drop. Drop to me. Drop. Get in. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.

02:12:04 Oh, my goodness. Chaos incarnate. With all the exhibits going on, you would have thought you were at the Louvre, Dan. But finally, NotMoist go down after a valiant attempt at the top side. Just with Blues, weren't able to withstand the damage.

Team Dynamics und Strategien im Mid-Game

02:12:18

02:12:18 Yeah, we lost a few teams there. Flat also went down as they were trying to hold out. But TSM have managed to survive on the north. Furia down to a two on the south. It's Vanity on the other side of this fight. Empire also watching over it. But Furia might be able to get back up to a full three. His Complexity also will fall on their rotation. But Furia do not get the opportunity now. It is going to be a heavy push. But Vanity, they tried to test Furia. And Furia had the response. And now Furia should be able to get back up to a two. But you can see that Seer scan just temporarily delays it.

02:12:47 But they did sadly lose their third. So it's just going to be Keon and Vaxlon trying to work their way through this zone as a duo now. Will be a tough mobile respawn beacon. We'll see if they can get their third back up. And as you can see, not for many medkits there on the side of TSM. Maybe a syringe was popped, but you could tell that they are bleeding a little bit. Speaking of bleed, esports.

02:13:11 They're on top, 6th place again. We know they're comfortable with that position. Let's go over to EEC though and follow along with what they're doing on the top of the Sniper Tower. You know how dangerous they could be, but they're fighting an even more dangerous team potentially in Liquid Alienware. Seer comes up with the Silence. January goes back up to get with the squad and EEC stay alive and they look to finish off Yanya.

02:13:34 All the meanwhile, by the way, TSM have been able to skirt around the north, and as long as they can win this engagement against Bleed, they could potentially be in one of the better spots, but Bleed are using that cat wall, the Darkveil comes down so they can get the cover and not be shot by other people, but it seems like there's so many squads looking at them right now. Bleed moved to try and contest TSM on the north, but it looks like it might not pay off here.

02:13:55 DSM, Liquid Alienware, Bleed, Empire Gaming, sie alle fallen. Alle Soldiers, Männer und jetzt LG zu finden, um einen Weg zu gewinnen, wenn nicht die Krieg, für den Spiel. Wir sagten Sie, sie manchmal zu heißen. Und World's Edge mit einem Skywest-Pick.

02:14:11 At Skyhook with a zone that favored them. They could just be LG's moment. So far though, Temper goes down to Stay Naughty. Finding damage with the Havok and the Hemlock just like that. And gets his level 3 perk at the end. He may not need it though because he's still got EEC and LG to go through.

02:14:29 And what a contrast it is from LG, from early exits on Stormpoint with a bad POI to the best POI here on Worlds Edge and making it count. Now it's a 3 vs 3 against Cloud9. LG do have the north, but the zone is going to pull them a little bit further south. Arguably, Cloud9 have lack of cover here, and LG can spread themselves out and try and create a pinch. This is going to be a difficult one to get out of for C9.

02:14:53 That's a see you later. Good night, sweet dreams. LG Funk and Sykes saw that it was just a seer scan saying you got two up going against us. Oh, no problem at all. LG happy to swing and happy to swing for the fences. Home run in a game one here in game four on World's Edge.

LG triumphiert in World's Edge, Team-Analyse und bevorstehende Playoffs

02:15:12

02:15:12 Never count out LG, and also never count them out, especially when they have the best POI when it comes to World's Edge. But of course, yes, it was Skyhook is where the zone ended up, but it was further east. They still had to work from Skyhook West. Of course, you get the loot from Trials. You are going to be in a better position armor-wise and having Gold Helmet, Gold Res, for example. But then they were able to position themselves as that zone continued to shift, and they were getting kills on their way. So an excellent...

02:15:38 We played game by LG here. Also, you got to give credit to some of the other scores that were able to get to that late game TSM, for example, getting zapped back up to a full three and still finding their way towards the end game on the northern side. But a few teams who struggled in the early stages are going to be a little bit annoyed with that match four and they have a lot to do in match five and six.

02:15:56 Absolutely. I mean, this is one of those tough games where, like we have seen, the pace has been set now. And LG, they are the ones who set it for the teams who were not doing well starting off in Storm Point. And so it's a lot of points that went their way, a lot of points that you could see teams that would have liked to get who are looking to just qualify heading into it. Native comes to mind as well. DSG looking to get some stuff done. And so as NotMoist continue to be effective, impressive, finding kills, not too worried about.

02:16:26 them at this point, but the teams who really needed those miracle runs, those games, it is looking like it is going to be a difficult Game 5 and Game 6. Stallions as well, somebody that we had talked about there, Dan, just a little bit. I like LG, but this is the thing about LG that I continue to...

02:16:44 We try to figure out with them why it sometimes takes a second for it to click. Because it is something we mentioned. They like to kind of ramp up late game. It puts them in this position where they've got to do a lot and very little. But man, can you count out Sweets? Can you count out Funk? And of course Sykes just makes this team so good and deadly. Any moment they can pop off.

02:17:03 I mean, back in the day, yeah, we'd be like, LG, surely they're going to do something in the second half here with these games and in the late game. But I think today is a different matter. We knew, surely, that it was going to be tough for them on Stormpoint. Having the last pick, 40th pick on Stormpoint, but the first pick on World's Edge, they were going to be relying on points here at World's Edge. The good news for LG is that there wasn't too many point sponges on Stormpoint. So they instantly send themselves up into the upper half of the leaderboard with...

02:17:32 Es ist ein 23-point-Games und jetzt kann sie versuchen, um die Top 3 zu gewinnen und dann für sie sichern, wie sie sichern.

02:17:41 6th place, 4th place, 4th place, a 1st place, and then where it all went wrong is 16th place. That happened in A versus B when they played their first game of Round 3. So LG, no stranger to being successful, but a bit of what you could say, just a matchday slump, trying to get it back in there. It's a good way to start it off on World's Edge with the best pick as well. Native Gaming, NGNL, Esports Disguised, and Flats all register 0 points in this one. Stallions, just 3 ahead as Not Moist pick up a couple. Fluffy.

02:18:11 Amherz, auch mit 3. Und Komplexity addet 4 mehr zu den Total, die die Team in der Lobby haben, die wir die ganze Zeit haben. LG Stats, Dan. SWEET, Funk, Sykes, alle mit einem total von 11 Kills für die Squad in Game 4. Ja, das Team ist eine wirkliche Herausforderung in der Lobby, besonders jetzt.

02:18:30 Ich glaube, es war ein bisschen schwerer Zones für sie, aber ich denke, wenn du nicht die Attachments hast, wenn du nicht die Gold Helmet hast, zum Beispiel, es macht so viel difference. Und ich denke, dass LG wird so glücklich sein, dass sie ein Wunsch auf dem Board gewinnen und sagen, okay, wir sind noch in diesem Fall. Sie haben sich in den Top 10 gezwungen, und jetzt können sie versuchen, um sich weiter zu versuchen.

02:19:00 Yeah, I'll tell you one thing. The standard for LG is we should be at LAN. We should be guaranteeing our spot.

02:19:05 Und wir wollen uns nicht mehr über die Region Finals zu tun. Und so far, wenn sie das aufhören, das wird der Fall sein. Natürlich eine große Wünsche wird sie in 2.0 oder 1.0. Aber jetzt, das belongs zu TSM. Sie haben einen guten Job, um Norden von Climatizer zu finden, um ein Weg zu bleiben. Wenn all das Chaos passiert, haben sie nicht getrennt, aber sie haben sich in eine Position zu stehen, um die Position zu steigen, um die Placement-Points weg von ihnen zu stoppen.

02:19:35 Speaking of what is coming up though in terms of majors, we've got our split two playoffs in Mannheim, Germany. August 29th and September 1st. Tickets will soon be available, but if you're just finding out about that information, here's a little video to get you excited.

02:21:25 Battle Beaver is the official Controller Partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

02:21:39 Yeah, I think LG fans would have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Worlds Edge and just getting off of Storm Point and a Coastal Camp drop, which is not necessarily the most ideal.

LG dominiert World's Edge, Strategie-Analyse und Ausblick auf regionale Finals

02:22:07

02:22:07 But I think the fact that LG have been able to capitalize off of their first pick here on World's Edge just demonstrates how good a team they are, right? How many times have we seen teams up at Skyhook but not being able to find that victory when the zone comes their way? And LG, it wasn't like it came Skyhook west, they still had to transition to the east of Skyhook. They made it count, they get the W, and they get a decent amount of kills alongside. Yeah, very, very impressive stuff from LG, especially in the final moments as well. Really important CAQ actually comes through, which I hope we'll see.

02:22:36 Das ist das Seer-Q.

02:23:04 Das kann sein, kann sein, kann sein, kann sein, kann sein. Aber bevor sie sogar haben, die Trigger auf die Führung. So LG wird die Champions hier in Game No. 4. Und es setzt uns jetzt auf Game No. 5. Und look at die Namen wir haben auf unsere Leaderboards. Not Moist, Game No. 1, Winner Complexity, Game 2, TSM. Und jetzt LG, die Frage ist, wer will die nächste one? Well, ich bin sicher, dass ein paar Teams da sind in der Bottom 10, die gerne eine Victory haben, und sich eine größere Chance für die Region Finale zu bekommen.

02:23:31 Those who still have a lot to do, the likes of Disguised, Stallions, Temper, for example, all have to try and really find a first place today. The likes of Native, they could probably get away with a top 10, a top 8 and still squeak themselves into regional finals. So it wasn't as much of a detriment that we saw them fall when they did in match number four. But if they continue to fall in that fashion in matches five and six, they will slowly start to slip away.

02:23:56 from getting to Regional Finals. So Dativ could do with a top five performance here just to try and solidify a good amount of points and keep them within that top ten. And just a reminder, you can watch on Faceit Watch as well, the official multiview streaming platform for the AOGS. If you want to watch your favorite teams, you can watch up to 14 POVs with the comms as well. So head over to fce.gg forward slash.

02:24:17 Und dann sehen wir, dass die Map-Feed zu sehen, wo ihr Lieblings-Favorite ist, und vielleicht jemanden, die ihr betreut auf den Downfall ist. Also, sehen Sie, was sie machen. Und dann sehen Sie, ob sie sind. Und dann sehen Sie, ob sie sind. Und dann sehen Sie, dass sie das auch. Aber als wir gehen in die Nummer 5 haben, dann, wie du sagst, es sind einige Teams, die noch versuchen, ihre Weg in die Region Finals zu bringen. Es gibt einige Teams, die wahrscheinlich zu solidarfen, die Land-Positions sind. Und dann ist es etwas, was wir sehen, und LG fühlt sich sehr, sehr komfortabel mit der Draft, mit der POI-Draft.

02:24:46 I think you summed it up so beautifully well, right? It's a Skyhook Zone, it's a tough zone still to rotate through for them, but making the most of the POI is something that's so important if you haven't.

02:24:55 Yeah, when you start to see people all arriving at Skyhook, it can worry you a little bit and you're like, are we actually going to be looted enough? But I think having trials is always going to be very important because of what you gain from doing trials, from the evo shields you're able to gain and also the extra accessories you can have, the gold helmet, the knockdown shield, for example, that can really make a difference going into that late game.

02:25:17 We'll have to see whether LG now, as they have to transition a little bit further outside of their POI, how they will do. Because sometimes moving away from Skyhook isn't a bad thing if you're a Skyhook West team. It was Dark Zero who really pioneered the way to play trials and the success they found. And it might have been their fault why we ended up with a POI draft, to be honest, because they just started dominating World's Edge back in the day.

02:25:39 But zone-wise, we are going to be heading away from Skyhook this time, so it's not going to be as comfortable for LG in terms of how far they have to go, but it isn't as far as a southeast zone, for example. Instead, we're going to be heading just on the west side. Interested to see if this one pulls towards Mirage or if it goes a little bit further towards Landslide. Maybe the track's just outside, sort of right in the center of that zone. It's one that zone information is going to be important for, but I'm kind of interested to see how Furia play, because they have Ring Console, they have Survey Beacon as well.

02:26:08 Und ich denke, dass es ein Early-Player ist, wird es interessant für sie zu sehen, was der Decision ist. Weil, wenn sie mit Mirage backen sind, dann wird sie in ein guter Platz sein. Aber wenn sie das Extremes High-Ground haben, dann wird sie mit dem Floating-Ship gehen. Aber wenn sie ein bisschen weiterer gehen, wird sie ein Early-Player-Player-Player für sie? Oder wird sie einfach für die KP-KP sein, um die Top-Mirage zu holen? Tempo hat Ring-Console in Countdown und sie sind sehr schnell auf Mirage-Etoile. So, ich denke, das ist genug.

Strategische Entscheidungen, Team-Positionierungen und Qualifikationsdruck

02:26:35

02:26:35 If one IGL thinks it's going to be Mirage Atoile, there is always going to be that trust in me to say, okay, if someone is that heavily committed to a zone, then surely most other IGLs are going to be in similar thinking here. So we might be transitioning all the way to the west side of World Edge. Now for Bleedy Sports, 28 points. They're in eighth position at the moment.

02:26:56 And I'm sure they would like to secure a little bit more points to give themselves just that extra buffer of ensuring they qualify for Lannan and for playoffs. At the moment, they're still kind of able to be caught if they weren't to put more points on the board here and in regional finals. So a big game could really change things for them. It's kind of a classic bleed performance so far, isn't it really? Eighth place overall. They've kind of hovered between, I would say, eighth, seventh, sixth, fifth has kind of been there.

02:27:22 Der go-to, we heard from Dropped himself in the interview as well, saying that they're yet to have that banger game that they're desperate to have, where they have a win or get a second place with a load of KP, and they feel very, very confident. So still a couple of games to go, of course, and things can change, but with the teams ahead of them having had those banger games, it's starting to kind of a little bit of a look at the clock and see that time is starting to run out for them to put in one of those performances. But by hitting the survey beacon, they're going to be able to get the info of not only where other teams are playing, but also...

02:27:50 They're going to be able to get themselves up to blue. And speaking of getting up to blue, Furia, they are there. They are on top of Mirage. They are set up for the long game. And this is almost a guarantee of placement points for them unless they do something crazy, which I don't see them doing. Hit the button. Start the party. That's all I want to hear. I want to hear the music start to really make a difference in the final circle. But honestly, it is a tough final circle, Mirage Etoile, because of the height difference and for the amount of playable space that is available, both...

02:28:19 auf dem Ship und unter dem Ship. Du musst auch wissen, was Teams spielen können, weil es all diese separate rooms gibt. Es könnte einfach nur ein bisschen weiter nach dem Mirage Atoile werden. Dann musst du wissen, wie du aus dem Ship getrennt, ob du Fokus bist, ob du kannst, ob du ein Zip Line machen kannst, zum Beispiel. Und es gibt bereits sechs Teams, die sich in den Far Westen zu gehen. Du kannst auch auf die Heite spielen spielen können.

02:28:42 Just south of Mirage Etoile as well, that's often a more desirable position because you can pick off a lot of teams that are arriving late. But a team that could potentially contest a squad that arrives there is Fluffy Amers. Now, Disguise, they were down at Thermal. They moved quick. Fluffy Amers will be following them. Well, elsewhere, you can see inside a countdown, there's already a fire happening and Flatter looking to push the pace a little bit on this one. Nano has to take a few seconds to pop that battery to make sure that he isn't going to be the first to go down and will be able to do so successfully. And then it's looking like Flatter might be second.

02:29:11 Ich habe ein bisschen second gedacht über das, wenn sie tatsächlich diese fighten, wenn sie es isoliert sind. Skang kommt in, White Armour ist zu sagen, Push. Das ist einfach als das. White Armour ist der almost guaranteed Go-Button zu versuchen, das erste Knot, aber sie sind so viel Schmerz. Ja, das ist ein großartiges Schmerz. Ja, das ist ein großartiges Schmerz. Das ist ein großartiges Schmerz, aber Blink hat nur ein bisschen zu viel Schmerz genommen. Und jetzt hat er zu versuchen, die Schmerz will auf den Schmerz geben.

02:29:35 But Flat just not able to get the damage that they would have wanted. I think the Watson is playing a big factor in that and stopping any grenades coming in. And I wonder whether Flat just give up on this one because it's just taken a little bit too long. Yeah, just saw the one room there and misspoke. It's going to be countdown. We're over staging at the moment. So this fight is relatively isolated for now. And it looks like Flat are actually going to back away from this position.

02:29:57 und spielen für eine andere Rolle. Die Watssons Fences und Watssons Gen sind genug für das Spiel zu stallen und es geht weiter. Es geht nicht weiter. Nia wird immer noch ein bisschen Zeit für Team Liquid geben. Nia wird immer noch ein bisschen Zeit für die Batterie geben und auf der anderen Seite ist es Stallions. Liquid nicht unbedingt haben die großen Spiels, die wir gesehen haben, aber vielleicht ist es der Start-up-One, aber es all muss sein.

02:30:17 Easy reset for them as well. Just threw the exhibit out just to make sure that nobody would push so that nobody was in the vicinity and nobody would go essentially unscanned if they did try and move up on their position.

02:30:45 Und sie haben eigentlich die gesamte Sitzung des Zones. Sie können die Thermal Station gehen und die Beacon gehen. Sie können die Ring-Konsole gehen, wenn sie auch. Aber ich denke, die Ring-Konsole ist einfach nur für E.V.A. für E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.

02:31:15 Hey, look at that Dan, it's one of those funky little shifts again. Yeah, it could also end under the complete high ground. It's just to the west of the train tracks you're speaking about as well. And sometimes that can be a difficult one to navigate if you are not the team that has the high ground.

02:31:31 If you do get the Ultima Highground, you can really just rain down hell on everyone below, so we'll have to see if anyone tries to commit to that kind of position, but at the moment, Empire having the terrain tracks, they'll be pretty happy if they knew about the zone shift, but of course they don't, because they don't have any ring console information. They're just gonna have to wait a little bit of time, as there's two Dark Veils on the map. There's two Dark Veils, it's forming a cross, and we'll have to wonder if anyone's gonna be buried in the next few minutes. Tempo, maybe looking to push, maybe looking to get that first knock, and...

02:31:58 Adivian is going to get that first knock. So now they have an opportunity to maybe clean up a little bit of damage. Instead, they're just going to play this one slow. Knowing that they got the finish, they secured the kill. They don't have to do too much. I think they're trying to split hold these buildings at the moment. But they have to be very, very careful because there is still, of course, Fury up on height. There's a couple of teams looking across from the low ground as well. One of those is going to be Bored. LG also moving on the train tracks just to their north as well, which can overlook all of this going down. And finally, Adivian is going to be able to...

02:32:26 Get himself in a position to get that loot that they were so desperate for. Temper in 11th place at the moment. They probably need to be finishing in the top six today if they're going to qualify for regional finals. So still a little way to go for them.

02:32:38 Sie kamen zu der heavy Mirage Pool. Sie waren die ersten Teams, die dort zu gehen, und es starte zu verschwinden. Das ist ein bisschen annoying für sie, aber sie waren nicht die einzige Team, die das wegzunehmen. Aber manchmal ist es ein kleines Spiel von Sardines. Wenn man die Survey Beacon-Scan sieht, und man sieht alle auf Mirage-Atoile, sagt man vielleicht, dass sie vielleicht etwas wissen, dass sie nicht wissen. Well, sadly, Sie haben zu einem Kribe, weil das Kribe ist eine Zone-Shift, weg von dir.

02:33:05 Team Liquid Alienware, they are dressed in purple at the moment, and they're trying to take down Flat, who is in front of them for now. They would have got the armor checks with that damage that's coming in as well, knowing they have blue, and that's why they want to try and push this. The Evac goes down, and you imagine that's going to be followed up by Ultima coming in from Jaguars as well to give them those war hacks, which looks exactly what the play is for them. But on the other side of this, you can see the DSG want to look, and if there's any knocks that come in on either side, then DSG have the chance to third.

02:33:34 They quit anywhere at the moment, just keeping their distance.

02:33:38 The Exhibit nicht providing the information that maybe was expected here and having just to back off a little bit as Flat are able to hold so much more of the space because of the Exhibit they had put down. But I wonder whether Liquid Alienware waits out and then throw an Exhibit of their own just to try and counter knowing that there's not going to be an Exhibit on the other side. So quite rightly backing off and Flat at the moment just gonna have to hold their ground here and see if they can force Liquid Alienware to take a different route.

02:34:06 Ich glaube, Liquid, wenn sie eine andere Route wollen, werden sie schnell machen. Und ich denke, sie haben das gesehen, weil der Zeit auf die Zone, die sich in hinter ihnen befinden können. Sie können das nicht ausführen, speziell mit DSG in der Vecinität. Sie haben einen kleinen Blick, und würden sie durch den Choke wiederholfen können, auch wenn sie das Schocken durchführen können, sogar wenn sie das Schocken durchführen können. TSM. Looks wie ein Evac wird in für sie sehr schnell, um zu versuchen, um diese Mountainous-Ariah zu übernommen. Und durch die Harvester-Ariah. Und es ist ein bisschen blind für jetzt.

02:34:34 Ich werde es sehen, ob sie einen Weg finden.

02:34:38 Oh, this is going to be a journey, all right? Eternal are kind of below them, and they might be able to get some shots off to TSM as they arrive, but TSM have been able to find a little bit of safe haven and avoid Eternal for now. But Eternal will certainly be wise to it. They did see TSM. You saw the shots come through because the bang perk got activated. But now TSM, they can have a decision here. They can still go north towards Landslide if they would like, if they feel like it's going to be too much of a difficult...

02:35:05 So, at least there are options. They're just scouting right now to see the lay of the land.

02:35:26 Und wir sehen uns schon reale Diversität heute mit den Weaponsen, die wir sehen, die wir benutzen. Wir sehen Charged Rifles, wir sehen Rampages mit Thermites in es. Es ist wie ein Throwback-Tournament. Manchmal kann man nur mit was du gewonnen hast. Manchmal kann man nicht die Havocs in den Hemlocken, die du in den letzten Match-Week hast. Und du musst einfach mit was du auf dem Floor ist. Nun, Disguised ist noch viel zu tun. Ich denke...

02:35:50 Realistically, they have to finish top 3 today if they're gonna make Regional Finals, so a win in this game would give them that opportunity, and at least they do find themselves in a pretty good spot on the Southwest. Now, a team who did find success in the previous game, and they're into the top 10, is LG. Let's jump in, see what the comms are like from Sweet and Co. Can you smoke the ramp? Smoke the bridge? Hold on, hon. They're coming up, they're coming up. Get ready to fuse and hold that. I can't, I can't, I don't have fuse, bro. He's taking the zip. No, he's just taking the zip. They're going back here to eat, maybe to leave.

02:36:19 Hold them, hold them here. Frosch is looking at us. No, they're sliding down, they're sliding down. We need to DPS them, we need to get to here and shoot them from the side here. I'm out of it on me, I'm out of it on me. They're going to slam to the side right now, stand on me and look left. Yeah, I'm looking at the bridge after. They're going right, look at the guy in the back. I don't know if that's the close people. They went to the truck. They went to the truck. I don't have fusel, I have it in 30.

02:36:48 Ja, ja, ich bin close. Ja, ich bin auf mich. Ich bin auf mich. Ich bin auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich. Auf mich.

02:37:18 So full team I'm running above tracks Yeah, so you get on a beginning shop and 30 or just pulling it

02:37:36 Well, LG down to 1, but we've seen Sweet pull off some incredible rap plays. The question is, is this too much for him to go through? It's Furia who managed to take out the other two members, and Furia picking up KP after KP at the moment. But Furia did lose 1, and Sweet was able to turn around and maybe re-engage. Now elsewhere, Bleed Esports are on the other side of this, trying to finish off a team within this RV, whereas Furia and LG are on the other side of it. It's all going down at the moment. It is...

02:38:01 The absolute mentalness that we are experiencing on this northern side. And whoever comes out on top will own those train tracks and be able to walk down to the south side. I hate to do it to you, but that is not a word. But I get exactly what you're trying to say. LG is still alive. Sweet trying to dodge and dive and do what he can just to survive and get a few more placement points. And remember, we've got 13 squads remaining now, but he's got a Pathfinder on his back.

02:38:24 Und das ist Kion, mit dem Grapple zu schießen. Das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein. Das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein. Das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein, das ist zu sein.

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe, strategische Zonenanpassungen und Qualifikationsrennen

02:38:53

02:38:53 So Zap, this time he was a little bit late like we saw earlier, but he was there just in time to get the final damage down before anyone got finished off. So Zap times it better this time around, wasn't as unfortunate to take the damage, and now they can get the reset, plus they have the Golden Ark, which makes that reset even quicker for them. Zone continuing to trend south as well towards the curved area of the train track, which you mentioned it, it benefits the likes of Fluffy Aimers who are still alive, Native Gaming, EEC, and but now Disguise trying to work their way in.

02:39:22 from the northwest. They need this game. They need to find a big amount of points here if they are going to get to regional finals.

02:39:31 They're going to be hit by the Q though. Designful takes a lot of damage himself on the Pathfinder. You can see him in front of the two players who are trying to follow up on the path that he's trying to create for them. Elsewhere, Complexity still alive just about. Empire Gaming, they're in one of the great spots as well. Monsoon still in a position to do damage. And he's not just got an L-Star, everybody. He's got a Kraber as well. We've already seen what he's done with a selection of sniper rifles today. He's got a Kraber Wavy, baby. And we've already seen what he can do, not just today, but in previous weeks.

02:40:01 Keon ist auf der Ultimate High Ground, die ich ein bisschen erwähnt habe. Und er wird glücklich sein, um zu versuchen, einen Platz für FURIA zu erreichen, als der letzte Mitglied-Member. Die Skye ist noch live auf den Norden. Bleed Esports ist auch noch ein Job hier. Aber Empire Gaming ist aufzunehmen. Sie sagen, wir können diesen trainieren, wenn wir sehen, wie es geht.

02:40:23 Die Nade kommen in und das wird die Dämpfe geben. Sie haben eine Numbres-Advantage hier. Sie haben eine Armour-Advantage hier. Sie haben auch Nox zu einem großen Dämpfe geben und die 2nd Knochen. Empire Gaming wird von Bleed E-Sports getrennt. Sie werden Kontrollen der Train-Trak und werden sicherlich in der nächsten Zone sein.

02:40:38 Well, Disguised are now approaching from the north as well, but I think they're under the train tracks and potentially competing with Vanity, and that is going to be a big fight for Disguised. They must win, really. When you look at their chances for regional finals, it has to be a big game here, but it could be Bleedy Sports from above that could ruin their day. TSM's still alive on the southeast here as well. It's Eternal in front of them. Native Gaming also alive in front of them as well. It's TSM down to a two, but we already saw they were able to survive previously.

02:41:05 Es ist so schwer zu machen diese Plätze.

02:41:25 Within an Exhibit, by the way, because of so much information being gathered by the opposition team. Reps has gone down again. Verhos really trying to take that position to fry with the Havoc, but not able to do so. Now down in a 1 versus X here to try and stay alive for its team.

02:41:39 Yeah, looks like he's just gonna play this one out as a solo because he zaps gone down as well. They're both gonna be finished off. He won't be able to get the res you would imagine in this situation. DSG now trying to move in and DSG will deal with vanity. So vanity will be taken out as DSG will capitalize on some of the damage that was done. Native Gaming will fall to seven squads now remaining. TSM still alive. Furious still alive. Eternal up on the high ground above them. Fluffy Amos still in the god spot. Complexity, Bleed and Disguise, your final squads.

02:42:05 Kion still alive is the Pathfinder by the way and this is one of the things we don't talk about with Pathfinder the ability to stay alive as a solo

02:42:32 Wir haben jetzt nur 4 Squats.

02:42:44 This is big for Disguise, though. They're into the top four. They push themselves into the overall top six. And if they can just find that one extra step, get into the top three, those points could be vital. And it does give them a chance, going into match six, of still making regional finals, which really would be incredible. If you consider the position they were in prior to this weekend, when it looked like they were down and looked like they were out, and now the fact that it is possible, it's in touching distance for Disguise, really we have to give them credit. But the job is not done yet.

02:43:14 Speedy Sports are going to be above them. Fluffy Amos still hold one of the priority positions. And Complexity is still in this one as well. Arveil going to go down.

02:43:25 Und das wird von Bleed E-Sport, glaube ich, dass sie ihren Weg nachdenken. Schuss kommen in, aber nicht gut von Schubi kommen, aber genug zu einfachen. Und jetzt müssen sie das Team auswählen. Und jetzt müssen sie das Team auswählen. Und jetzt müssen sie das Team auswählen. Sie wissen, dass sie das Team auswählen werden. Aber wenn sie ein Team sehen, dass sie eine Chance haben, diese Leute auswählen, diese Leute auswählen werden. Aber wenn sie ein Team auswählen, diese Leute auswählen werden, diese Leute auswählen werden. Aber wenn sie ein Team auswählen, diese Leute auswählen werden, diese Leute auswählen werden. Aber wenn sie ein Team auswählen,

02:43:52 Im Bleed eSports will have the opportunity to climb up and maybe do some damage, but Complexi now, they have the zone at their backs and that's causing them problems. Fluffy Amers, by the way, who were outside of the regional spots before this day, are now finding themselves within the top three and a chance to get a big game on the board with the victory as Complexi go down. It's Fluffy Amers versus Bleed. They get the first knock as well, so Fluffy Amers now in a 3v2 to win the game, to send match number five their way and give themselves a chance at maybe making regional finals. It's one more player to find.

02:44:20 It may have been the game win that they needed to get to regional finals. And they called that position very early. As soon as they saw that zone shifting away from Mirage Atoile, they took the train tracks and they were able to transition further south with the zone. And they capitalized on a zone.

Zonenstrategien, Team-Leistungen und Qualifikationsausblick

02:44:49

02:44:49 Not pulling the way that some teams expected. Again, we saw a heavy commitment towards Mirage Etoile and those who arrived late had to commit to other areas and they were rewarded for arriving late and that's how it goes sometimes. You can heavy commit to a zone and you can be punished for it and sadly for those teams who thought it was going to go into Mirage Etoile, they were indeed finding themselves in a tough situation where they couldn't get out.

02:45:10 Ja, ich würde sagen, Mirage-Zone in generell ist, ich würde sagen, eine meiner Lieblingsfavorite, weil der extremeness der Power Position, dass Mirage ist. So, zu sehen es sich weg von das ein bisschen, persönlich für mich, würde ich sehr gerne sehen, dass die Zones mit den Teams zu haben, zu fighten für es, und nicht nur die garannten Top 3 für die Team, die auf dem Top-Mirage ist. Aber ich muss sagen, Fluffy Amers, man, du hast mich an die Teams, die wir in die Region Finals sind, und das ist die wir auf den Momenten, und das ist die wir kind von Fokus auf, richtig?

02:45:35 You've got DSG in that position. They get into the top four, but just couldn't get over the line. But Fluffy Amos, with that win, it's not only great for them, but it's such bad news for everyone else who's around them, who's fighting for their spot. Because it just means that those points are taken away, not just by anyone else in the lobby, but the one team who you are competing with to make it through to regional finals. So a massive performance from them, and they still have one game to go here. Yeah, for teams like Oxygen and UCX, who played yesterday and put themselves on a total to try and do enough and set that benchmark.

02:46:04 They are going to be very upset to see teams like Fluffy Amos performing well. To see teams like Native Gaming putting points on the board as well. Because slowly but surely that top 20 position that you had is being chunked away at. And I would be surprised if UCX qualify. Oxygen is also going to be very tight. They are probably going to miss out with all the teams that are finding points below them. But we will have to see how it goes when we get match 6 done and dusted. But in match 5, Disguise did give themselves a chance.

02:46:34 in den overall standings von Top 6 und noch geben sich die Möglichkeit für eine Top 3-Finisch am Ende des Jahres.

02:46:40 It's going to be very, very interesting indeed to see those overall standings when the end of play finishes. Who's going to make it through to the regional finals? Who's going to be in those LAN qualification spots with one more day ahead of us, that regional final? Of course, we'll take a look at the game winner stats as well. Fluffy Amos compared to that second place team, which is Bleed Esports. Great performance from them, by the way. I said that, you know, they've been kind of averaging out where they've been averaging out in comparison to the rest of the season. Well, that kind of performance in a game five.

02:47:07 Vielleicht macht es das Spiel, die sie wieder zurückgezogen haben, als die wirklich die Punkte bekommen, die sie in den Spiel 2 geholfen haben. Wir schauen uns auf die Serie zu sehen, wie wir standen sind. TSM ist noch auf mit 57. Furia mit 47.

02:47:21 Ich würde sagen, dann ist es so, so close. Und du kannst jetzt sehen, was die Team jetzt brauchen. Ich habe gesagt, Disguise brauchen eine Top 3, würde ich sagen, um die Region Finals zu erreichen. Sie sind 14 Punkte entfernt von Bleed Esports. Eine Victory in einem Spiel, viele Kills zu gehen.

02:47:37 You know, it's not out of the realms of possibility. For teams like Stallions, though, who I mentioned, who need to be finding themselves up in the top five, the top three as well, they are all the way down in 18th. And that suddenly looks like it's almost impossible at that point to find that amount of points. And it's going to be sad at the end of today to have to send people home or keep people at home. And they're not going to be in the regional finals because there's just so much talent in this region. There certainly is indeed. And we're going to have to see what talent makes it through to the regional finals when we get back.

02:48:05 After this break, one more game to go everybody. World's Edge is where we're heading. The question is, who's going to be in that top 20?

Entscheidende Momente, Team-Hoffnungen und regionale Finalqualifikation

02:49:46

02:49:46 Willkommen zurück zu Nordamerican ProLeague. Das ist die letzte Spiel des Regulandes. Bevor wir wissen, die 20 Teams werden, werden wir in die Region Finale spielen. Das ist es, das ist das, was wir warten für. Wir müssen wissen, wer diese 20 Teams werden. Aber bevor wir zu den letzten Spiel werden, können wir sehen, was in den letzten Momenten passiert.

02:50:06 This is how you put it, it's big crunch time. The t-shirts they sold out earlier, and now we get to see it happening again. But as we do look back at the previous highlights, what a big game it could have been for Disguise, or maybe is for Disguise, because it gives them hope. And sometimes hope is all you can ask for when you are going into a match six, because there is still that possibility of getting into regional finals, and it is not a win that is required, for example. It could just be another top four.

02:50:34 And you will find yourself at Regional Finals with still a stab at Playoffs. I think that's what's important. And most importantly in this region, there are 12 positions for Playoffs. It's not like Emilia earlier, where if you kind of scrape through in 20th, it's unlikely that you'll make LAN if you just try and do it off points because of the only eight positions that were available. With the 12 available here in this region, it means that there is still opportunities as long as you make it to Regional.

02:50:59 Well, here's your winners of the games so far. Not Most Complexity, TSM, we had LG and we just had Fluffy Amers taking home game number five. But this is one of the biggest moments of the season for a lot of these teams. It's the last chance, the last opportunity to get points on the board to qualify for the regional finals. Top 20 will go through for everybody else. Unfortunately, it's into the LCQ where you have to fight for another chance at competing this season.

02:51:27 Als wir ein paar P.O.I. Drops, die Teams werden nach der P.O.I. Draft werden viele Teams betreffen für eine Zone zu gehen. Das ist die große Sache. Das ist die große Sache, indeed. Wir werden Teams wie Native Gaming, wie Tempo, die versuchen alles zu holen. Wie Disguised, die es sahen, wie es nicht möglich wäre.

02:51:50 A couple of matchdays ago for them to achieve regional finals. Can they get it done? The likes of NotMoist should have done enough already. FluffyAimers may have done enough with that victory as well. So it's those who are still outside of the top 20 with a little bit further to go. The magic number that we were kind of working around was about 49 points. As it stands, FluffyAimers are exactly on 49 points. So if it ended right now, they would be good.

02:52:15 But, of course, there is still another match to play and there are still other teams that could potentially take that regional spot away from you. And if Fluffy Amas don't make it on 49 points, then we get to fire the stats guy. Let's see how this game goes then for all of these teams. Like we say, it's the last game of the regular season before we head to the regional finals. So enjoy it, everybody. If you've got your favorite team, who you're supporting, if you're watching them, wherever it is on.

02:52:40 Face it watch or here on the more main broadcast or maybe somewhere else as well. If you're watching Wig or Greek shout out to them. Will give your team all the energy that you certainly can. Fluffy Amos, the winners of Game 5, have given themselves the opportunity to make Regional Finals. Yeah, they just need a pretty average game here. They just need enough points to get over the finish line. But you've got to be worried about those below you potentially taking that spot away from you as well. So you don't want to just limp out with...

02:53:06 It averaged like 17th, for example. You want to be getting some placement points on the board, you need to do something to try and push yourself that little bit further. Sure, you might get some kills, which gets you three on the board, but those placement points are sometimes so desirable to get into that top 10, just so you have more to work with alongside those kills. Now, zone-wise, we're heading south.

02:53:27 So this is good news for the likes of Flat, who are going to be dropping over towards Syphon. Not the worst news for the likes of NGNL over towards Geyser and surrounding areas. And of course, Valenti and Liquid Alienware down in that southeast as well. Trying to see if NGNL, they don't have a ring console over at Geyser. So they're not going to have the info. Flat do have a ring console at Syphon though. So it's looking like a north Syphon zone potentially. Maybe one that we do see the shift towards...

02:53:55 Grandma's house a little bit up on the hill as well. Also, they do sometimes see the little funky one that goes to the other side of the mountain range towards Fragment, although it looks like it's a little bit too far out of that one. But I've been proven wrong so many times recently that at this point it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. So I think North Siphon is going to be a great place to play. The hill house, of course, is going to be a fantastic spot to hold and Empire going straight for it. Yeah, Empire moving very quickly as we have seen them do so far already in this tournament or in this match day, should I say?

02:54:26 Vanity also moving quick. Of course, Flat did as well. Fluffy Amers now arriving from the south. Everyone's starting to head to very similar areas. And this isn't going to be the best of news for those who can't get those priority positions, especially those who are desperately searching for points. For example, the likes of Disguised over towards Thermal Station. It's a little bit of a journey to the southeast here, all the way from the southwest.

02:54:47 Quite a lot to do. So not only if they make it, would it be impressive from where they were two matchdays ago, but also just from the positioning here in this game.

DSG's Game 6 Specialist Reputation and Team Liquid's Dominance

02:54:57

02:54:57 Well, you know, I kind of jokingly used to call Dark Zero the Match Point Specialist, and I think one thing that you can say about DSG historically is they are Game 6 Specialists. They have pulled out some of the biggest performances of their career in Game 6s when everybody has kind of counted them out, right? And this is another opportunity for them to kind of relive that story a little bit, to get into that Regional Finals, to give themselves a chance at making it to that Split 2 Playoffs, because...

02:55:25 Der erste ist die Region Finale zu machen, und dann haben Sie die Performance von einem Lifetime gewonnen. Aber Sie können nicht überlegen, wenn Sie nicht ein Teil der Tournament sind. Sie wissen, was sie tun müssen. Und Sie haben auch gesagt, DSG, sie spielen von EDGE. Sie spielen von EDGE. Es ist nicht so, dass sie ein guter Pro-Otem-Zone ist. Sie können die Zeit, sie können alle Beacons, die sie brauchen, um die Evos zu machen. Und dann können sie das best machen können. Das ist einfach fight.

02:55:49 Sometimes fighting is only what you can do with certain positions you put yourself in as well, and those fights could really change how things go as you look towards the results and as you look to the series standings, because it might come down to just one teamfight for some of these squads for getting into regional finals. You might not need a victory, but if it's the difference between, I don't know, top six and a top five, and it's one straight 3v3, being good at fighting could be that difference maker you so desperately desire, but it's going to be a very...

02:56:17 Das ist noch nicht möglich für Disguised. Und ich bin sicher, dass wir es später werden, als Temper, die ich auch noch erwähnt, haben noch etwas zu tun, wenn sie etwas machen wollen. Es ist noch nicht möglich für sie, aber es ist noch nicht möglich für sie, aber in 14, sie brauchen etwas zu einem Top-3, wenn sie versuchen, zu einem Top-3 zu erreichen.

02:56:34 Well, taking out Arkane is going to be good for them as well. Native who needed points to, again, to make Regional Finals. They're going to have a little bit of struggle here in Game 6. They're going to have to maybe play for a respawn, which is going to slow down their rotator team who historically, of course, love to play about as hard an edge playstyle as you could possibly imagine. Love to get into zone, love to hold it down, and they're certainly not going to be able to play that way in this game whatsoever. Elsewhere, just looking at what Fury are doing. They're in North Siphon, or sort of say Middle Siphon at the moment, and they've been very, very impressive today.

02:57:05 But one thing to note about the pace of this game, Dan, everybody is trying so hard to get into zone as quickly as possible. Rambo is going to stick that res, by the way, and it looks like they're actually going to go and have another look at this tempo. Maybe they're just going to farm the response. This is not good news for Native. Native need probably a top 10 here if they are going to find themselves in regional finals. And if they go down again, it starts to get a little bit dicey.

02:57:30 They're currently in 15th position and they've just been eliminated and that might just be all she wrote for Native Gaming and their chances of getting to Regional Finals there. I don't think they've done enough. Well, they'll have to play on some downfalls. Elsewhere, we look over at Big Maud and we're going to see Team Liquid Alienware having a little poke against Stallions. Stallions, who we mentioned earlier, probably aren't going to be making it through to the Regional Finals after their performance today.

02:58:00 Team Liquid certainly will be there, and Team Liquid looking like they're going to be one of the teams who's going to be qualifying for split-two playoffs as well pretty comfortably. The Stallion's trying to give them a little bit of a run for their money here in this game, number six. A couple of Skynades going in. You're always hoping you're going to see big numbers drop as soon as those ones hit the floor, and Arboleli certainly is throwing them all out.

02:58:19 Hier kommt die EEC. Sie haben gesagt, dass es ein tolles Ort für sie in den ersten Platz ist. Und es ist, glaube ich, nicht möglich jetzt, denn sie haben zu gewinnen diesen Matchdayen mit den TSM-Schlägen. Aber sie können natürlich auch die Lobby-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-Schlägen-

02:58:46 Decent damage coming in from January, but unfortunately he forgot the Team Liquid in the vicinity. And this is one of those situations where Stallions get pinched by Eternal. And they're like, why are you fighting us right now? Why are you full sending it? Liquid are here as well. And then Eternal are finding out right now that Liquid are here as well. And they are going to be taken out very, very comfortably. And here comes the fourth party now. But interesting to see if the NGNL can take advantage of the damage that's been done onto Team Liquid.

02:59:10 It's the sad reality for Stallions that it didn't really matter as much for EEC as their likelihood of getting to Regional Finals was close to 0%, whereas for Stallions, that ruins their opportunity of getting to Regional Finals as well. Even though it probably would have had to be a win for them, it does mean it will be the end for Stallions, unlikely to be in Regional Finals. Now NGNL, 20th position at the moment.

02:59:33 Looking pretty rough for them. They were in 18th. They were in one of these top 20 positions here on set, but being in last place means you get no points, means that everyone below you has the chance to jump above you, and I wouldn't be surprised if NGNL get pushed out of these top 20's points if they cannot find something here in this match six. Well, Yanya's the last player alive here for Liquid, and it's looking like, oh, he might have a little bit of a struggle, but this is Yanya we're talking about, and all of a sudden a 3v1 becomes a 1.

03:00:01 A none versus two as the Liquid Alienware will be eliminated, but their work certainly has been already done today and NGNL will be able to reset as the fourth party to that fight over at Big Mord and the good news for them is there's no one else near them because I think everybody else thought there's too many kills going down over at Mord. We don't really want to get involved with this.

Regional Finals Qualification Scenarios and Key Team Performances

03:00:19

03:00:19 Benja now can find about 12 points in this game and there's still the chance they'll be at Regional Finals and it's certainly still in their hands as well even though they're in last place at the moment. They got so many points in the previous weeks that they can still believe it and there's still a lot to do. Tempo also a lot to do in this one. There are still teams, quite a lot of teams here on set that a victory in this last game would send them into Regional Finals and I think that's what's kind of crazy about this region.

03:00:46 Well, for now, Tempura are going to be playing inside the Dorito. They've got the Catalyst as well, so they're going to be able to reinforce some doors. They're going to be feeling pretty comfortable. Complexity are going to be next to them in the bar building. Elsewhere, TSM. Well, they're playing in the Geyser building at the moment.

03:00:59 Und ich bin sicher, dass sie einen Knochen bekommen haben. Und ich sage, Reps ist alles, dass er die Artillerie hat, dass er vielleicht kann. Er hat Flesh Damage bekommen, er hat einen Knochen, oder einen Knochen, ich würde sagen. Er hat einen Knochen, einen Knochen. Er ist die erste Knochen, die letzten zwei Knochen alive sind. Er ist sicher, dass er ein bisschen von dem Knochen kommt. Sie müssen das Knochen kommen. Sie können das Knochen kommen, aber das kleine Knochen, das Knochen von Reps ist sicherlich, das Signal zu geben.

03:01:25 This could be great news, though. With Dropped going down, with Noct going down, with Bleed Esports falling. When we talk about Disguised and we talk about their chances of getting to Regional Finals, with the third-place team falling there, and potentially TSM here as well, it still lines up. It's like everything is aligning. The stars, the planets are all aligning for Disguised and their chances of getting to Regional Finals right now. I mean, I call them Game Success Specialists. If they win this game and manage to get to Regional Finals, well...

03:01:52 Es ist ein Voodoo-Stuff, denn sie sind wirklich, wirklich leidendlich, und versuchen, es zu lassen. Wenn sie es zu landen sind, dann... Ich meine, ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich...

03:02:17 Es gibt Knott Moist, die in eine fantastische Spot ist. Und ich mag dieses Spot auch. Für dieses kinder Mid-Game. 15 Squad still remaining. Sie können auf alle Teams schauen, und es ist eine gute Möglichkeit für sie zu sehen, die 3rd-Pi-Opportunität zu sehen, dass sie sich in diesen Build-Innen ein bisschen später machen.

03:02:32 And whilst NotMoist would have done enough already to get to regional finals, of course, they will want to try and elevate themselves in the leaderboards to get closer to those LAN positions when it does get to regional finals, giving them less to do as TSM get back up to a full three as well as they look to try and win this entire match day and try and solidify themselves as one of the top teams going into regional finals if they weren't already. But now there are a few teams within this next zone who are going to be able to comfortably reside.

03:02:59 However, it's going to be less comfortable for those on the outside of things. Disguise, for example, they have to move in from the south, but they do have a lot of playable space to work with, and I'm interested to see where they go here. They could potentially go for a long old rotate all the way around to the east if they would like, and you can see they have the ring console to work with, so they are able to get that information that they were so desperately looking for, but it is an all or nothing here for Disguise. They need to get into the top three.

03:03:28 if they want to get to regional finals. So this rotation is everything.

03:03:35 So it looks like for now, they're going to be playing the low ground and kind of trying to navigate their way towards the train tracks. Maybe they saw the NGNL were a fight that they could isolate. Maybe they're just playing for the Evo. But the Assault Bin is going to be near them as well. TSM, they're not going to be playing for anything aggressive right now as they're just trying to walk up and get a little bit of information. And if anyone is playing this choke in front of them, the answer is no. So they'll be able to walk up. But I wonder if they're thinking about wrapping for the position that not Moisture it a few moments ago.

03:04:05 You can certainly see the pings coming out, the conversation that TSM are having, you can just see it visually with said pings.

03:04:13 They are going to have to compete with NotMoist, as you said. And just below them is going to be Empire. So if TSM back out of this one, it will be themselves getting pushed by another squad. Now, with the zone closing, everyone is going to have to move in, including the likes of Disguise, the likes of NGNL, teams who need to find points if they want to get into regional finals here. But NotMoist looking to hold out TSM. Yeah, they've got the Evac down as well, which means they can combine it, of course, with the...

03:04:37 Fuse Ultimate, sie werden all die Wallhacks in der Welt bekommen und TSM hat das jetzt versucht. TSM hat das Spiel gemacht und versucht Moist zu versuchen, aber nicht Moist, sie sind zu experienced für das Spiel von TSM. Und das wird der Ende der Zeit. So nicht Moist, hat sie zu bekommen, um K.P., 14 Quatschen jetzt noch mehr als wir zurück nach DSG. DSG haben wir ihn verloren.

03:05:02 There is still opportunity as a two. They're in top seven at the moment, and we did see what they were able to do in the previous game. And maybe, just maybe, they can win this engagement against Empire and get Enemy back on his feet.

03:05:14 Ich meine, das ist gut, dass die Banner ist. Das ist die Problem, right? Und ich meine, sie haben die Zip-Down. Und sie haben die Design-On-The-Pathfinders. Und die Abilität zu gehen in und aus ist sicherlich da für sie. Aber ein bisschen von Nades ist auf die High-Ground. Die Team, die zu sein, ist Empire Gaming als auch. Aber sie sind nicht, sie sind nicht, sie sind. Sie sind nicht, sie sind. Das ist nicht so stark für sie zu halten, für das Endgame. Aber sie wollen, of course, mit DSG. Sie wollen sie auf diese Rampen. Sie wollen sie unter den Rampen gehen.

03:05:44 DSG haben einige Entscheidungen zu machen hier. Wir versuchen das Banner zu versuchen, das Banner zu versuchen. Sie haben einen Rezbeacon zu bekommen.

03:05:53 And if not, it might just be as a two they have to try and finish this ridiculous story they're writing for themselves. Yeah, it's looking quite bleak for Disguise at the moment and their backs are both literally and figuratively against the wall right now with Empire above them. Elsewhere, Furia. Second place looking to try and catch up the likes of SSG and the second place would do that here today as they go into regional finals potentially as a second.

03:06:20 Und hier ist Disguise, und hier ist ihre Reise, und hier ist die letzte Stand. Ich meine, die letzten Pick-Up hier ist, Fusier. Die Zionfall ist weg, der Enemy ist weg, und ist das die letzte, wie du gesagt, Moment für sie?

03:06:42 Ja, top 7, so they would have secured a good amount of points. 13 points, which puts them on 44. The big question is, will that be enough?

03:07:06 Und wir haben uns zu finden, aber ich worry, es wird nicht sein, mit all den Teamen, wie FluffyAimers, für zum Beispiel, zu bekommen. Aber jetzt werden sie in diesem Spiel gehen, denn sie werden sehr stark geholfen hier. Und obwohl sie viel damage gemacht haben, sie werden auch fallen. So jetzt NGNL, die Team, die ich gesagt haben, brauchte points. Sie waren in der letzten Zeit. Wenn sie in den Top 15 hier in diesem Spiel gehen, dann wird es noch hope für NGNL in die Region Finale kommen.

03:07:35 Back to the action where this zone is going to be pulling. NotMoist are going to have to at some point leave and slide down to one of these buildings, and that's the difficulty for them, right? Because Bored, they are going to hold them out for as long as possible, but they will have to move as well. Cloud9 and Flat are coexisting in and around the building just to the south, but you can see NotMoist are putting pressure on at the moment.

03:07:57 Complexity will also have to move as well from the bar. Temper will also have to move. LG now make their play towards the bridge as well. And LG is still alive here. They just got a Nog. And LG is rotating. Impressive performance on Worlds Edge. Looks like it might continue here. Not Moist have got to send this. NG now eliminated in the meantime. NG now eliminated. That could be detrimental for their chances of getting to regional finals. It's going to be heartbreak for some of these teams because it's going to be so close at this top 20 mark. But Not Moist looking to try and not only...

03:08:25 Ja, sie wollen diese KPIs. Das ist das, was sie haben zu spielen für hier. Sie müssen das Team so schnell wie möglich und dann für eine 3rd-Party-Opportunität. Aber die länger das ist stalled, die länger und die größer die Hoffnung haben, für sie zu spielen, für sie zu spielen.

03:08:53 No-Knocks kommen in. A lot of ticks of damage, as you mentioned, but sadly, they can't press on it as well. The Catalyst doing the job, holding the door, and being able to restrict the chances of Not Moist getting aggressive. So they reconsider, and they actually re-evaluate where they're going to be pushing here, and they instead just take a position center zone.

03:09:12 Catwall's going to go down. You can see Timmy is taking a lot of damage. He's also on the wallhacks as well. And he looks like he will be going down. So he's going to have to... Oh no, Susie's still alive. He's managed to get that medkit off by the looks of things. Not Moist playing the outside of this building. 45 points to their name in fourth place overall at the moment. And with eight squads remaining, Moist is going to be so, so careful here. And they're just so exposed from so many different angles.

03:09:35 Teams like Tempest, Teams like Borde are still alive. Teams who really need points to get into Regional Finals. But a team like NotMoist can really make a statement if they were to find a victory here today. But it's Cloud9 who are above them. Flatter just on the other side. Borde get eliminated as well. Remember, they were in the top 20 here. Have they done enough to get to Regional Finals? It will depend what happens around them. Teams like Tempest could really change the fortunes of Borde's chances of qualifying for Regional Finals as well.

03:10:01 Somehow not Moist managed to force themselves into the bottom of this building, and now they will control at least one floor. So while everyone else has to fight, they can just bide their time, get healthy, reset a little bit. Tempera trying to look at them as well. Elsewhere down on the low ground, LG, who already have one win here on World's Edge.

03:10:19 Was a change it has been for Moist adding Timmy to this roster

03:10:49 und sie haben sich in 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 2.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0 zu 3.0

03:11:16 Nail-biting moments, not just for those who are at the top of the leaderboards, but also those who are around 20th, those who played yesterday and are watching on, eagerly awaiting to see how many points are required by those who are around them. But it is not Moist who are in the Ascendancy at the moment, trying to push up on the team that is above them, but just patiently waiting. Maybe because they're forced to, because of these Watson fences, it is such a difficult push to try and make. Well, now they're going to send it, the damage is there, the knock is going to come in as well, Woxy gets yet another kill as Cloud9 now.

03:11:44 Das ist ein Monster, Monster! Aber die Zone ist jetzt noch etwas schwieriger. Es ist ein Blind Rotate, aus diesem Bild, in die Zone zu gehen. Wozniak wird die Last zu gehen.

03:11:58 Maybe he's gonna try and pop a medkit and force himself to survive a little bit longer. Timmy goes down. Three squads remaining. His flat will fall. Empire Gaming will fall as well as Not Moist still are in this game. Not Moist up into second place and chasing TSM, but I don't know if they're gonna have a chance here. No, it's LG who come out on top. LG who get another victory here on World's Edge. It may have been all about Not Moist, but LG went under the radar and get another dub here on World's Edge. Well, well, well. Not Moist just...

NotMoist's Victory, MVP Announcement, and Regional Finals Qualification

03:12:27

03:12:27 Had a banger of a final game. The way they navigated that traffic was so, so impressive. And Wolsey, the confidence that I saw from him in some of those fights and the decisions that he was backing himself on. Absolutely incredible. LG, of course, should be celebrated for taking that win. But now the conversation turns from what we just saw, Dan, to what it means. Because we have to try and tally up all the totals, see what teams are going to be going through to those regional finals. And of course...

03:12:54 Not just what teams are going to regional finals, but what spots they're going to be in, in comparison to those LAN qualification spots as well.

03:13:00 Well, one thing that we do know is NotMoist, with those kills, getting into second place, did overtake TSM to take first place here in the matchday, which is such a huge boost for their chances of getting into playoffs as well. Remember, they were outside of Regionals before today, but now they are suddenly looking like a team that can test for LAN. Rain Day, what an incredible match we just saw, and it is going to be heartbreak for some of these teams that are outside of this top 20.

03:13:28 And it is heartbreak. There's no other way to describe it. North America is such a passionate region in ALGS history, and they've continued to be passionate in Split 2. But sometimes passion isn't enough, and you've got to make things happen on the day.

03:13:42 There were some teams that just fell a little short. You saw DSG. It was heartbreak. It was close. And sometimes it hurts harder when it is one game. That if it did go your way, could decide your fate and get you into those regional finals. That chance for our extra time here at the ALGS before we take penalties. But ultimately, the story was beyond in terms of what we were looking at. The scope, so many things to follow. And waltzy.

03:14:07 Und nicht Moist, TSM und Verholtz, LG gewinnen zwei aus drei Games auf World's Edge. Diese sind die Teams die die Narrative haben. Und das ist immer wie es, Leute. Wir sehen diese Dinge passieren wieder und wieder und wieder.

03:14:21 You never know who's going to steal the show, but certainly we had three teams just jump out in front and say, this is going to be ours at least back half of the day. We're going to do everything we can to make sure we are in regional finals. It results like this, 22 points. That is so significant. As you had mentioned, Dan, it's enough to push NotMoist ahead of TSM for the overall match day. And that's a few more points, four crucial points that head into your overall standings for

03:14:50 They will be very happy for that. LG also with a massive win to take that final fight. Vanity, Empire Gaming, flat, rounded out teams that needed it. C9, Temper, Board, Complexity, and NGNL Esports with decent games here. Temper and NGNL Esports, particularly with some fantastic games here to close it out. But Mark, we followed it along. It was DSG. They lost enemies. They lost enemy. They lost design. They ended up losing Cuser, but they just, they lost that.

03:15:19 Und es war ein schweres Ziel für sie, nicht? Ja, es war ein schweres Ziel für sie, aber sie haben sich nicht gewonnen. Es war ein schweres Ziel für sie, aber sie haben sich nicht gewonnen. Aber die letzten zwei Matchdayen von DSG ist nicht der Grund, warum sie nicht für die Region Finals gewonnen haben. Es ist die Build-Up zu es. Es ist die Woche bevor das, wo sie gar nicht putt einen Punkt auf dem Board.

03:15:42 I mean, there's good signs for them at the end of the season. Unfortunately, it's just too late, it seems like, for them. And if you leave it too late with the amount of talent that's in this region, then that is the situation you find yourself in. I mean, you look at the series results, a huge congratulations to Not Moist on the win. 36 kills as well. TSM just pipped to the post by one point, but it's the big points picked up by those teams on the cusp of regional finals that's going to make the difference when it comes down to that final 20.

03:16:06 Bleed Esports stays consistent. They've gotten 5th place, 6th place, 5th place, 6th place, and now another 5th place in their last five match days. So talk about consistency. Complexity right behind it. Started off well. Got a win today. But a team like Oblivion and Bord. Wow. Well, they were certainly successful. Oblivion on their side overall in this split. Continuing to add to that already in 15th place. They'll add to that tally. Bord, though, trying to stay in. They were on the cusp. Tied for 19th.

03:16:35 Dan, I'll get your reaction first.

03:17:00 Because this is who determines who will be joining us in our regional finals. If you're not on this page, unfortunately, it'll be LCQ to try to get back. Let's go ahead and roll to it if we can.

03:17:13 This is going to be a big moment, especially for teams that are going to try and push themselves in. And Temper are able to take that 20th position. Fluffy Amers also pushed themselves in. Board secured their spot as well. Flat just about hold on, but the cutoff being 45 points, which, if I'm not mistaken, is going to be a tie. And NGNL may be losing out to Temper here on a tiebreaker. And it's going to be heartbreak for the likes of Oxygen, who were on 44 points before this.

03:17:43 Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

03:18:10 Not making the Regional Finals, so some questions have to be asked. Of course, you see like DSG there, they're not going to be making it to the Regional Finals as well. But something I just wanted to highlight from those final standards as well is if you would have looked at the overalls two, three game days ago, you would have thought Not Moist are struggling to get the Regional Finals. Now they are in one of the automatic qualification spots after what they did today. It is a remarkable turnaround from them. It really is one of the most special game days I think we've seen in some time.

03:18:38 And in many ways, while it's, you know, elation on one side for its Timmy, his former team DSG, it is heartbreak, right? And part of that is, you know, good for Moist. Good for Moist to be able to do it because when Split One happened, they dealt with some issues even getting into the tournament and getting their rhythm. So sometimes it goes around and it comes back in ways that you don't ever know how it's going to be, but sticking with it.

03:19:00 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

03:19:29 from on high said wow there's only two players to push yeah let's just shield swap and make moves here that'll be easy for us as they take their first of a couple of wins on this match day number nine here on world's edge that's it right there the little moment that said yeah that that's enough a 3v2 let's just go ahead and find this one but it would not just be an lg story now we'd shift gears in game five mark as well after lg would take this one

03:19:56 Yeah, I mean LG did a really good job of just converting on damage. I talked about the CRQ and the timing of that. That was all game from the advantage in those final moments. Match number five though was Fluffy Amers. They were the team who took home the win. They played that Dorito building initially. I think most of the lobby of the rip of the first ring console scam were like, this is a Mirage zone. Should we play for Mirage? And then the shift away from Mirage towards the train tracks, towards the Dorito building is what really caught most of the lobby out. And it's not the first time that we've seen that happen today.

03:20:25 mit unseren Zonen. DSG managed to get into the top 4, gave them a shot in that final game, but Bleeding Sports ended up in a 3v3 versus Fluffy Amos to win this game. Unfortunately for them, they won't be able to close it out. It was actually Fluffy Amos who clutched up in those final moments to give themselves a win.

03:20:40 Massive stuff there as well, Dan. You were on the mic with Mark on this one, and it was tense. I mean, this is kind of what we live for in the ALGS these days, where you're counting numbers, you're constantly seeing teams swap as well. It hangs on the balance of a knife's edge here in Fluffy Amers. They did enough, and it ultimately ended up being enough to secure their spot regional finals. Yeah, this victory did secure them regional finals. Without it, they could have been looking at being one of those squads outside. And if you look at the fact it was that close at 20th position, arguably they knocked out.

03:21:09 Und das ist sicherlich...

03:21:37 Die Not-Noist-Story ist mit der Fuse auf dem Timmy.

03:21:42 Dasir und Walsi, IGL-ing on that Bangalore. Yesterday, it was Vaxlon on the Bangalore for Furia. That stole the show. Had Keon, who received the MVP, saying really one of the best Bangalores in North America, in the world. You're sleeping on them. But Walsi puts himself back in that conversation. This is what we've expected from NotMoist since they moved to North America from Apex South, where we're finally getting in. What a time as we head towards our regional finals and LAN. But...

03:22:10 As time speaks, it's time to talk about my MVP for the day. You might have just seen a few clips from them. And so we won't waste any time in letting you know who got it. It was a scintillating end. Not moist. Would clean it up. And it was on the back of this man.

03:22:27 Heimsel, Waltzi, would have such an impact in this lobby that it would give so much hope to NotMoist fans around. We had to throw his name into the MVP hat. He was a top kill leader with 15 in the entire lobby today. He rounded out the top five in terms of assist as well with 13. And he was second only to Verholz, who, by the way, had a knockout day for TSM as well in damage. Coming in second place overall in this lobby. You add that.

03:22:56 Das war das, dass er noch nicht möglich war, wie das hier ist. Er ist noch 46 Punkte, um in den Top 6 zu bekommen, um 62 zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen und zu gewinnen, in style zu gewinnen. Putting Nott Moyes in die Qualität für die Regionals und unsere Playoffs. Das ist eine spannende Sache für sie, und eine spannende Sache für sie auch für ihre Fans. A viel Arbeit von Waltsy.

03:23:21 And, you know, you always got to say, just a spectacle in Apex Legends and in real life as well. Man's got the biggest arms and shoulders. He's shoulder pressing 100 pounds, just chilling before he goes online. I don't know how he does it and keeps up the strength to move his mouse, but somehow he finds a way. One of our favorite things, too, is to highlight these players and give ourselves a moment to showcase them and what they do and also let them showcase themselves because it's time for Waltzy.

03:23:48 Just speak with us. I think we have Waltzy on the line here. There it is. I know he's talking to somebody in the room. Waltzy, what's up, man? Congratulations on the win today. Thank you, dude. That's the coach. That's Kyle in the background, Drogo.

03:24:08 You know, man, what a moment you guys coming back from all of that. I think it was 46 points you had in the top six position in that final zone on that rotate. You end up with 62. One kill, one point makes the difference. Grabbing second place and then ultimately turning it into a first. You got MVP on the day. Talk to me just how you're feeling. What's the energy like with your team in that room right now? I mean, obviously we're eight points in front of the threshold now, so we're like...

03:24:36 Und da ist viel relief, weil, nachdem ein Roster-Split mit einem Roster-Change und einem IGL-Change ist, es ist nichts aber stressvoll. Aber wir haben nur noch besser und besser in Scrims. Für uns zu erstellen, nach wie gut wir in Scrims haben, und für uns zu nicht nur ein Scrim-Warrior-Team ist wirklich gut. Weil, wie ich gesagt habe, wir haben immer nur 2nd zu Falcons in Scrims, so die improvement ist unreal.

03:25:07 And off the back of that, you mentioned roster change, IGL change, you're now the man who makes the calls and calls the shots for the team. What has that been like, especially coming out for the back of a disappointing split? Now you're the guy who is making the play calls for your team, who has to put yourself in that situation, put yourself under that pressure to then come through that initial kind of learning period to where you find yourselves now, which is, in my opinion, one of the craziest turnarounds we've seen in a season full stop. I mean, how's that been for you personally?

03:25:38 Ich bin Stressful. Stressful ist die einzige Wort ich kann benutzen, man. Ich würde sagen, wenn ich nicht, dass ich nicht Stress aus meinem Gehirn bin. Ich bin zu Hause, denke ich über Apex, denke ich über Apex, um mich über Apex zu finden, was es ist, was ich tun, um mein RGL zu tun, um mein RGL zu machen. Weil ich unter Empty, in meiner Meinung nach, ist ein Top 5 RGL in der Welt.

03:26:03 And I've learned so much about the game from him. So, you know, I really feel like it was a matter of applying what I knew from him and then obviously like what I already knew from myself. So like the first week where we were playing Hard Edge, I know how to fight Edge. I know how to like fight teams. It's just something that I've been naturally good at. And this week I was sort of just like taking it back to what I learned from Empty where it was like actually rotating and getting in on zones and stuff like that. So it's been...

03:26:31 Es hat sich aber auch ein viel Spaß gemacht, egal ob die Highs und Lohen. Es hat sich sehr gut zu sehen, dass die Progression in mein RG-Ling ist. Es scheint die Studenten geworden sind, denn heute haben Sie schon etwas, was sehr beeindruckt. Wir reden über die Roster Changes. Timmy, natürlich, war er als die größte Veränderung als wir die Teparture von MT sehen.

03:26:53 Was hat er zu dem Team, in Ihrer Meinung nach? Wir haben einen guten 1v1-Clutch von ihm heute. Es scheint, er ist die perfekte 3d für Sie, IGLing. So, anyone who weiß, mein Team weiß, dass ich mit Pricey in den letzten Jahren habe. Er war ein sehr, sehr gut MNK-Player.

03:27:12 Essentially, what I wanted from Timmy was a similar thing. It's just a freak M&K player who can control a lot of space, is very aggressive, is not shy of challenge controller players. Timmy is by no means scared of controller players. He pretty much shoots like one as is. So it was really just freak mechanics and confidence and the ability to help me in fight calls and stuff like that and get openings for the team, which he does incredibly well. So that was pretty much what I was looking for out of him.

03:27:43 Split one, Walt, you guys came in fourth in the playoffs. 85 grand and we used a big win. Now you've got a whole new roster, right? So what does this mean for the future heading into it? Not just regional finals, but looking ahead to land. What are the expectations? What have you taken away from your experience so far this year that you're going to bring in to hopefully split two?

03:28:03 I mean, the expectation is obviously to be the best. I think when you look at this team on paper in terms of teamfighting and mechanical skill, we are sort of a top team. And it's really just a case of just holding ourselves to the highest standard possible. So, you know, like getting back to where my team already was is sort of the goal.

03:28:27 Have I DC'd? Oh, I haven't. No, we're still here. Okay, sorry. You can finish your statement if you want, Waltzy. I don't know if you were wrapping up right there as well. Yeah, the goal realistically for this team is to be the best team fighting team. You know, because there's a couple at the moment, SSG Falcons, stuff like that. But I think we're on par with those teams when it comes to mechanical skills. So it's like getting ourselves to that point. And then, yeah, just getting...

03:28:55 Ich glaube, das Team ist der Fall zurückgekehrt. Ich glaube, das alte Moist-Roster hatte eine der höchsten Fortschritte. Sie nie wirklich sahen uns auf einen guten Tag. Ich meine, das letzte Pro-League spricht für sich selbst. Die einzige Team, die wir verloren haben, war die Team, die auf die Point-Record sette. Das ist wirklich das Ziel, hier. Äther als gewinnen, natürlich.

03:29:14 Very concrete goals as well. And when you make them like that, it's usually easier to achieve them. Walsi, congratulations. MVP performance. Match day win. Qualifying for all kinds of great things. And obviously putting NotMoist back in the position where many fans, and I'm sure you as well, know they belong. Congrats on a great day, bud. Thank you. Thank you.

03:29:34 All right, Waltzi from Not Moist. We're going to see them very, very soon. And of course, you know why? We're going to be taking a look at some of these qualified teams. Some lucky enough at this point across all our regions to have secured their spot and punched their ticket heading into land. Lead esports. Join SSG, LG, TSM, Furia, and Falcons as the only officially qualified teams for North America. But certainly Not Moist's performance today makes it that much easier for our regional finals for them to perform.

03:30:04 ... ... ... ...

03:30:31 for that million dollar prize pool. Always exciting to get back to Split 2 and get back to LAN as well. And speaking of that, gentlemen, this will be the last time we see you before that LAN on an ALGS broadcast, at least of this current Split 2. So I want to give you your final thoughts here as we end Match Day 9 and look forwards towards our regional finals. I'll start with you, Mark.

03:30:54 I just want to say thank you to everyone, of course, for giving us the opportunity to cast these games. We absolutely love casting the ALGS. It's a pleasure and it's a privilege every time we get to do it. Shout out to the players for putting on, again, just an incredible show this split and we've still got plenty more to come as well. And I also want to give a little shout out to Waltz in something that he said in that interview, which is, you know, when you take responsibility of something and you take on an IGL role, it's the most stressful role in all of Apex Legends because a lot of the responsibility falls on your shoulders.

03:31:21 But being able to put in that hard work and coming out the other side of it and being willing to improve, I think is something that a lot of aspiring players can take away from that interview and really learn from. So I want to give him a shout out for that as well. Plus, he's got a hell of a shoulder press, 50kg, incredible stuff. The man does it all. Amazing stuff. Well said. Dan? Yeah, echoing what Mark said about just appreciating the fact I get to do this, but...

03:31:45 Don't miss Regional Finals, because they're going to be awesome. If you thought today was exciting, the fact that we're going to have teams trying to qualify for LAN, and there's still that what-if moment. Even a team in 20th position going into Regional Finals can still win and can still get to playoffs. It always makes it one of the most exciting days. And of course, Matchpoint being the format. I can't wait. I'll be watching. And of course, I'll see you all in Germany. It's going to be brilliant.

03:32:06 All right, well, last time I said goodbye, you guys hit me with a stare. This time, though, I'm going to give you a fake hug, a high five, a wave, whatever it is. And everybody online, say goodbye to Gaskin and Onset. Great job today. And we'll see you guys very, very soon. Oh, man, I'm just going to be fun. We love to close a show there online. Got to do what we do here, and especially when we've got one more to fully wrap our split two online portion. It's next week.

03:32:34 On July 14th, the EMEA Regional Finals takes place. And you know what that means. It's match point. EMEA, North America, a studded day. That is going to be so fun for you to watch your favorite stars in the ALGS compete. If you thought the drama was high today, oh, just wait till next Sunday.

03:32:55 Ladies and gentlemen, always a pleasure being with you as your host as well. Mark, Dan, they said it perfectly. I'll echo the sentiments of the gratitude of being able to be here and help guide this ship as we get towards seeing these players compete at the highest of high levels in esports. From everyone on the EA side, we appreciate you. You made a great game that's changed all of our lives. Esports Engine, what a production. We love working with you as well. And all of our players couldn't do it without the great gameplay that you guys put together each weekend for us to enjoy.

03:33:25 Ich bin Rain Day und als immer, never give up, never stop gaming und we'll see you all in our Regional Finals!

03:35:10 Das ist gut. Das ist gut. Das ist gut.
