ALGS Split 2 APAC North Pro League Week 4: Einführung und Überblick
00:17:46
00:17:46 Hey, friends all around the world, checking back in with us at the ALGS. I'm your host, Ray Day, and I'm so glad to welcome you back in on our doubleheader this weekend to start and close out a tremendous back half beginning of our split two, where we get to see the teams that have competed all the way up until week five, take that two-week break, and now put it all together for one final test to see who can qualify for Japan.
00:18:11 in january it is all coming up here and these moments this weekend might shape these players and these organizations destinies forever in apex legends let's get started i'm so excited to bring in two amazing casters we had vicky and jamerson yesterday but it's on set and gaskin back with us to close out this sunday mark dan it's great to have you guys and mark i know you know the arsenal score isn't what you want right now but good thing we have some great apex legends on the way
00:18:40 I was really, really hoping you wouldn't bring that up. But thank you for bringing it up. Yeah, I mean, sometimes there's some tough moments in life. That certainly is one of them. But some good moments are that we've got the ALJS to talk about today. So very excited. A lot of team changes, a lot of commotion. And of course, I think everyone's looking forward to Amir and the Americas later. Yeah, two great regions, Dan. And they play a little differently. But most importantly, it's about who's going to find their rhythm right now. Because there is much...
00:19:05 Und da ist auch so viel zu verlieren mit baden und guten Erfahrungen über diese nächsten drei Matchdayen. Ja, wir sahen ein paar Teams zu kämpfen yesterday und du hast den Vorteil, wenn du in der Double Matchweek bist, dass du auf das, dass du auf das, dass du auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das, auf das,
00:19:29 We were just talking about the sphere in Las Vegas, and something that happens in Vegas quite often is you've got cards somewhere. And when you're shuffling a deck, the point is to bring it back into parody. Today, we're shuffling the pack as far as our theme for Apex Legends and these pros coming in after their first chance of seeing these patches, not only...
00:19:48 get brought out in notes, but then seen put on display yesterday in Match Day 6 with EMEA in North America having a run. Some will get that second round, some just coming in like Falcons, which we'll see later, like Alliance, who are able to jump in now as well, a big top dog, second place in EMEA. So for me, Mark, I want you to dive in a little bit more into what shuffling the pack means as our focus for this afternoon in both EMEA and the Americas.
00:20:14 Well, we have some team changes. Once again, we have certain players who are maybe hedging their bets on a qualification spot for Sapporo. It's kind of getting a little bit cutthroat when it comes to that now. We also have, of course, the patch that recently came out, which is going to change potentially Legend Metal. We've seen some different things being tried in scrims. Weapon Metal shifted ever so slightly as well. So all of these things sort of roll together into this weekend, and I think it's going to be very exciting to see how teams adapt and get their points on the board. That's seeming to be the biggest.
00:20:43 Das war's für heute. Wir sehen uns heute auch, was wir durch die Highlights von den Beginn des Doubleheader-Weekens. Es war all über EMEA, der uns unser erstes sehen. Was wir sehen? Mad Maggie ist aus der Gain, First Band, Sears. Es war einfach. Kostik, First Band, all-around. Ronan, wir haben ein echtes Moment hier.
00:21:08 Finding a way to stay alive. You see the Alter Portal. Just a few seconds added on to the time. Stayed in the mix. And that would grant them the win. It wouldn't be Ronin's day though. In fact, what was really wild about this is you see that Hardeki kill on the Ryumatsu. Well, this one had been holding NVMI who were underneath this rock. They literally had the Alter Portal away. Otherwise, it was just an easy zipline kill. NVMI make a big, difficult win.
00:21:35 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
00:21:55 Ja, Gonext looked incredible yesterday, it didn't slow down for them. Match 3 went their way, but then Match 4, they found themselves in what was a pillar of Watson fences, and they had a 3v3 eventually against the Cybercats, who were just a little bit out of position for this final circle, but Gonext were more than happy to mop this one up, and pretty much by that point, they had tied up the entire series. We kind of knew they were going to be winning this one. Anyway, we go into Match 5 and take flight.
00:22:21 Well, they were sadly not even getting off the ground because they were going up against previous Go. Next, we had Na'Vi, the reigning world champs, of course, showing what they could do yet again and showing that, you know, they are not to be forgotten here as top teams and the top team in this region. So that was match five. And then match six, as I said, it was kind of all sewn up. So it really was about, can anyone maybe just find some extra points here to catch up? And it was going to be handed over to Legion Gaming, who...
00:22:48 Definitely show what they were made of in this final circle. We saw a lot of Sparrow coming into the equation yesterday as well for Amir. And you can see why, how important he can be with his ultimate coming out. And they wrapped this one up and tied a little bow on it, Randy. I will say, out of the last three wins, I'm not sure about the first three, I wasn't tracking the same way, but Watson was involved in every single win. So that is a good stat for a character that is yet to really be banned.
00:23:14 als ein High Priority. Obviamente hat sie her recenten Buffs, wahrscheinlich erst aus der Mix, bevor Gibraltar, bevor Kaustik even got a change. Und das hat wirklich allowed, glaube ich, her zu sneak unter der Radar, mit den anderen Charakters, die noch mehr Aufmerksamkeit haben. Und sie hat sie offen für Picks, wie Hynda, die schon sehr gut ist. Sie haben auch Henchmen, die Anker rollen.
00:23:37 It's been nice to see those guys really be successful. So will we see more of that today? We'll find out. Because as all of these characters that we just kind of alluded to, Caustic, Newcastle, see Rampart, Gibby a lot, people are having to take two different choices, Mark. One is let's figure out how we can be successful playing this now that this has clearly become a static meta in our league for these last few weeks. Or how do we find ways to deal with it?
00:24:05 Ja, es ist eine interessante Diskussion. Ich denke, es ist etwas, was in der letzten Woche oder so aus Scrim, seitdem wir das letzte Patch hatten. Eine Sache zu highlightieren, das in die Abilität zu machen und wählen diese Legends, die ein bisschen mehr Aggressivität in deine Composition ist, die Wettbewerber zu verändern ist, ist die Wettbewerber zu verändern. Es ist so, wie die Charge Rifle, 30-30, nicht so stark. So, wenn du ein bisschen mehr Platz hast, wirst du über die Wettbewerber zu fragen.
00:24:30 Das war's.
00:24:59 Das ist nicht nur das Spiel, sondern das Spiel, aber das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel, und das Spiel,
00:25:28 Essentially be more aggressive to be able to get kills to be able to command more space around the map that allows you to put points in the board in the way that we hadn't seen previously and I think Dan you've got some stats to back up what has been a little bit of a change in the weapon there as well. Yeah both the legend meta and the weapon meta have been changing kind of back and forth and we can look at the most banned legends so far throughout the season and how things have changed as well for each region and there has been a lot of similarities and the most case is Caustic has gone as number one.
00:25:56 Alta has usually been number two as well. It depends really on the maps though. A lot what Mark is talking about specifically happens with Stormpoint because we will see Newcastle be very prevalent in Stormpoint alongside the likes of Caustic, alongside the likes of Gibraltar coming in as well. And it's people trying to find a way to negate that once the Newcastle has often been banned. Now one thing we have seen change since the patch has come through is that Wraith has definitely become a lot more popular.
00:26:24 Und was ist interessant für mich ist die Unterschiede zwischen Regionen, wie EMEA und Amerikas. Newcastle scheint ein bisschen eher in Amerikas zu gehen, während EMEA, manchmal Newcastle geht unnoticed und geht unbann, was für eine sehr interessante Situation ist, wenn das heute passiert. Jetzt sprechen wir von Weapons, sie haben definitiv viel verändert, dank der Patch. Sie sehen, sie haben...
00:26:44 Slightly changed from match day to match day, but one thing that Mark will definitely be happy about is the charge rifle from match day five to six is no longer in the top five most kills. So I know Mark has a smile on his face right now, but we're also seeing the rise of the scout over the 30-30 a little bit as well. Just those small tweaks to weapons have changed it slightly.
00:27:04 I think weapons are really the hidden kind of motivating piece here. I think Gibraltar doesn't come in the same way if the PK doesn't have the strength that it has. I don't think Newcastle does either. I remember watching Deeds in an interview after one of the match days that we were able to play and saying, man, if no one's playing PK and I got Newcastle, no one else has a shield and I'm just popping in and out.
00:27:25 I mean, of course I'm going to win that fight. And I think there was a slow trickle with that getting buffed as well as the accelerator coming under the weapon that just made it so good. And then you look at who has good abilities, who has good ultimates that need to get charged. Well, Gibby's always had one of the best ults in the game. It just takes a while. If you got it all the time, now it's a good thing to think about. And I remember match day two as well, Dan. We were commentating seeing Virtus.pro and those guys run into those final zones a couple of times with that big, big kind of conversation of the...
00:27:54 The characters that have a lot of shields. And then I think we get to see. Well now Mark as you properly meant. Who's going to challenge that. Who's going to change that. Take space. Make it difficult for them to play. Overall a lot of stuff we wanted to set up for today. But we also want to make sure that you know. That the teams playing today have different stakes. Regardless of the meta. And regardless of the weapons. Coming forward too. In terms of can they even qualify.
Teams im Fokus: Go Next, Roadhouse und die Qualifikation für Sapporo
00:28:18
00:28:18 We're going to go into some stats that will make you realize how intense this fight at the top is. Go Next, yesterday with their performance, Alliance out of the way were able to dominate. And Dan, I mean, that was really impressive. We called on them to be successful with Alliance no longer in front of their lobby who had taken that first place spot. And they performed. Yeah, I mean, coming into this split of Pro League, Go Next were outside of the points to get two champs.
00:28:44 We were kind of looking at it saying, you know, they probably, if they want to secure themselves as dead certs, they have to win Pro League or Regional Finals. And in the moment, they are doing just that. And not only dominating a region, but also topping Alliance, which is extremely difficult to do. We know how amazing Alliance are. So the fact they're going toe-to-toe with them, we have to give them the credit. Let's dive down deeper into our participants for today's action. As we jump into Match Day 7, it'll be Group A who had the rest their first time checking out this pass.
00:29:14 Teams that had gotten some wins last time endorsed FaZe Clan and Alliance, all winners in their last matchday of individual games. Can they bring that energy here as well? Plus the new addition of Tyler FPS to Natsuki and Kishara's 07 with, of course, the introduction of Kay Swinney as a coach and not a player to that team. Going to be very interesting. But a team I really wanted to focus on that we led into this weekend thinking would have really a lot of success on set.
00:29:42 was Roadhouse. And yesterday, not quite what they were hoping for. Yeah, yesterday was rough. It's an interesting one because I kind of wanted to bring up this discussion before yesterday because Roadhouse had looked really, really good in the previous match day. And the previous match day was the one that was between these two groups I really wanted to focus in on. They won that day.
00:30:03 So, yesterday, not great. 15th overall, but they still sit at 4th place in the overall standings, which is extremely, extremely impressive. It means that they have a chance. And if you're looking at the consistency that they've had...
00:30:25 It has to be, Marc, because if you look at Roadhouse and how close they are really to getting to champs.
00:30:44 Ich glaube, es ist gut, dass sie in 4.0 gewinnen sind. Aber es wird nicht genug sein. Sie müssen weitergehen. Wenn wir in den ersten Mal schauen, dass sie in 4.0 gewinnen müssen, wenn sie in 4.0 gewinnen müssen, wenn sie in 4.0 gewinnen müssen. Aber wenn wir in 4.0 gewinnen müssen, dann sehen wir sie in 4.0 gewinnen müssen. Aber wenn wir in 4.0 gewinnen müssen, dann sehen wir sie in 4.0 gewinnen müssen. Aber wenn wir in 4.0 gewinnen müssen, dann sehen wir sie in 4.0 gewinnen müssen.
00:31:11 Aber dann, wenn wir auf einer der besten Zeit geworden sind, ist es dann, dass wir wirklich zu sehen, Roadhouse zu sehen. Matchday 4 waren zwei ersten Plätze, aber nicht nur das, sie hat die Statistiken verletzt. Erst Platz auf der Bühne für fast alle staten, except Damage Taken, welches nicht das Schlimmste ist. 22,000 Damage, 40 Kills, 58 Knocks, 71 Punkte.
00:31:35 This is the Roadhouse we need to see today if they are going to get to Champs eventually, right? They need to be pushing to try and catch up the likes of GoNext. Well, it's a great kind of lead into what we're going to talk about here because I want to keep everyone who's watching at home's attention onto what this is all about. Championships in Sapporo, Japan coming up in January. As it stands.
00:31:58 These are the championship standings for the teams that would qualify. But this is before we have the results of this split. And remember, if you win your split pro league, you are going to chance. You also, if you win your LCQ or come in second place in your LCQ.
00:32:18 You are going to Champs as well. We have spots reserved for those three things specifically. Otherwise, it is championship points. You can see the cutoff here with TSM being the 24th team. I mentioned those regions and the LCQ winners, and that totals up to 16 to get us to our 40 for Sapporo. But let's move into what would happen if it ended now. Well, you see a couple of those changes. TSM dropped back.
00:32:43 Out. You see Algazia come back in. Go next, Dan. As we saw there, they jump in and they're in 17. So I think they feel pretty good about where they're at, considering that if it ended this way, they'd definitely be having a spot in Sapporo.
00:32:55 Und notice die Stars auch. Das bedeutet, dass sie eine Pro-League haben, und das wird ein Platz für TSM und JDG geben. Und dann auf der anderen Seite, wir haben ST und KCP, die würden auch gewinnen, durch die Pro-League gewinnen. Aber natürlich, sie werden nicht in der anderen Platz, weil sie nicht in die Top 24 Positionen sind. Aber Sie sehen, wie tief es war. Ich spreche über Roadhouse, 2,280. Es wäre nur 12 Punkte aus der Qualität, in theory, wenn es hier all endet.
00:33:21 Und ich denke...
00:33:39 For teams like Roadhouse, they're in a different category where they are realistically, if they have a good weekend, able to win regional finals, right? There are some teams that need the points. We're not sure if they would be a contender in that, but they've played pretty well consistently. Roadhouse is certainly a team that could turn it on at the right time, get a win, and find ways to championships. So it's not over just yet. And by the way, all these great storylines, well, there's a great way to watch them unfold on your own time, in your own way.
00:34:06 That's of course Face It Watch Make sure that if you want to catch up on Roadhouse Maybe it is Check it out on how Aku is fitting in with Lufka and Blast Now that Funk is on his own different journey back in the Americas You can see how they're rotating Who they're fighting How they're taking
00:34:26 oder vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht
00:34:55 The time is now. Good luck to all of our players getting going. It's going to be a fun day of action here in Amia and in the Americas to follow. Let's get it started. On set, Gaskin, take it away, guys. Thank you very much, Ryan. Excited for today, Dan. I've got to be honest with you. It feels like today, like game number one, if this was a Nando's order, the ALGS today, it would be lemon and herb. But when we get towards later, I think it's the extra spicy heart.
00:35:16 Was ist deine Meinung auf das Analog? Ich denke, es ist eine gute Frage, zu starten der Tag. Was ist das, wenn du jemanden kannst, zu extra-spicyst? Wenn du jemanden kannst, wenn du jemanden kannst, zu extra-spicyst? Wenn du jemanden kannst, wenn du jemanden kannst? Heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag, heute ist der Tag
00:35:46 A couple of teams that did prioritise this map, Alliance went for Boardwalk as their first pick, but they were 12th, and Zipline Mafia City Hall at 9th position. Everyone else pretty much was Worlds Edge heavy. No one wanted to look at E-District, and we've said this time and time again, E-District is just a more comfortable map for POI. You don't mind as much what POI you end up with, whereas Worlds Edge can be a little bit more tricky if you end up with one of those rough.
00:36:12 So that's why you kind of see people prioritize the draft this way. So I'm excited to see if for example Zeppelin Mafia can capitalize from City Hall.
Map-Prioritäten und Legend-Picks: Analyse der Strategien und des Einflusses des Patches
00:36:20
00:36:20 Yeah, City Hall is an interesting one as well, because we've seen quite a lot of zones pulling that way in scrims recently, and they're pretty difficult to read. They're getting a little bit bouncy when it comes to those rings 5 and 6. But this is what you're going to see today. Like Dan said, three maps on E-District before we head over to Old Trusty. A little bit of tradition to close the day out with three maps of World's Edge. Very excited to see what happens today. And I think we just have to keep reiterating to everyone as well. We are getting towards the close of this split. We are getting towards qualification for Sapporo.
00:36:50 Und wenn es zu Scrims geht, wir sehen uns die ersten drei Matches auf E-District. Und ich würde mich nicht überraschend sehen, wenn wir ein paar Kostik sehen hier in Game 1 sehen. Ja, ein paar Kostik in Game 1. Wahrscheinlich nicht für die resten der Serie, aber es wird sicherlich sein, dass es in Game 1 sein wird. Und es war interessant, zu sehen, dass wir ein paar Kostik in Game 1 sehen.
00:37:19 Ja, es war etwas, ich glaube, das war ein paar Wochen, weil...
00:37:44 Okay, guys, we will go on to the next one and we'll get it sorted.
00:38:12 It's an interesting one as well, because I was saying, I hope you've got ring console if you're trying to read that zone, because a lot of teams certainly wouldn't have seen that as an e-banked zone. Half the teams were like, thank god it ended! Everyone's going to the north who doesn't have console going, why is everybody not here? Why is everybody going south? But yeah, they don't have to worry about that now. Hopefully there's a little bit more of a readable one for people to walk through. But I think it gives us a chance to just talk about how we've seen the game evolve over the last week or so since the patch. We obviously saw...
00:38:37 Ich glaube, das erste Littluss-Test war, wie es in den ALGS-Lobby war, mit diesen Veränderungen zu Legends, zu Guns und all diese Sachen. Und ich denke, das ist eine Sache, dass wir es in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine Art, in eine
00:38:55 ist, wie es versucht Teams zu experimentieren mit den Compositions ein bisschen. Ein paar Reductions auf Headshot Damage von 30-30, ein paar Reduktion von Damage von den Charge Rifle, all diese Dinge, und natürlich die Accelerator, die Änderung zu den Scouten als auch, jetzt macht das die Nummer 1 Marksman zu nutzen, weil ihr wird die Abilität zurückkehren können, aber es bedeutet, dass ihr ein bisschen mehr Freude könnt, und ihr könnt euch nicht auf diese Double-Layer-Defensive-Legend-Composition zu bekommen, um Point A zu Point B zu kommen.
00:39:23 Yeah, you're not just getting two tapped as you're walking across. You might get three tapped, but it's better than getting two tapped, that's for sure. But you are right, it does open things up a little bit. We will see some people still going towards comfort, because when you've been playing a Legend Composition for X amount of time, sometimes it's actually okay just to stick with it and grind it out. And you might avoid a couple of bans. That's one thing to note as well. We do see people go with the meta, especially Americas. Like, we will see them...
00:39:48 We saw yesterday a lot more Seer.
00:40:14 Es war nicht etwas, was wir super touched on in der Topper Show gesagt haben. Wir sagten, wir werden Seer sehen. Aber jetzt haben wir eine neue Legend, die wirklich verändert und verändert die Game ist. Das bedeutet, dass es etwas anderes für die Leute zu denken über hier in der Opening Games ist.
00:40:27 We'll take a look at those patch notes, because like you mentioned, we have had some changes, and if you've been away from the ALGS, firstly, shame on you. Secondly, welcome back. Let's take a look at exactly what has been affected. You can see the Legends will kind of focus on here. Mad Maggie, you can see the speed up and the animation of the Riot Drill means you can be far more aggressive in getting your gun back up after firing that Q into some of those teams in cover. The Wrecking Ball is a big one for me. Increased damage, speed, pad impacts, basically the whole thing got buffed.
00:40:56 Sie sehen Sie, Sie hier sehen uns durch Sie hier, weil es auch schon so ist, wie Sie hier sehen, wie Sie hier sind.
00:41:25 Ja, Seer ist definitiv einfach ein bisschen zu den Arsenaal. Eine Sache, die ich sehr genihe, ist die größte Radiusz von Exhibit zu bekommen. Wir wussten immer, wie ein Powerful Exhibit war, als Seer war, als Seer wurde. Man würde das dann einfach nur kostenlos, und man kann einfach nur die Info auswählen. Aber die Wahrheit, wie groß es ist, kann man manchmal auch info auf mehrere Teams, als nur die Einwände. Nicht zu mentionnen, man kann jetzt Glide mit Seer gehen.
00:41:54 Aber es ändert sich an die Bewegung. Wir haben viele Spieler, die in der Zeit zu spielen. Ich meine, die alten Horizoner, die Leute, die in der Luft zu gehen und in die Luft zu gehen. Das ist möglich zu tun, mit Seer zu spielen. Ja, ein bisschen zu machen. Ich glaube, in den ALJS-Lobbys, wenn du in den Moment bist, wenn du in die Luft gehst in den Luft für mehr als ein paar Sekunden bist, wahrscheinlich nicht die beste Idee in der Welt. Du bist ja, du bist ja. Ja, du bist ja.
00:42:18 Das ist nicht moving. Eine Sache ist, wenn Sie ein Power Amp ist, wenn Sie ein Alt ist, dann kann man das Wettbewerb werden. Das ist eine solche Dinge, die du kannst, um die Wettbewerb zu machen. Und wenn wir über die Latter-Enden der Serie sprechen, wie wir ein bisschen earlier waren, wo Legends und Teams sind ein bisschen mehr aggressiv, wenn sie sich für Punkte zu versuchen, auf den Leaderboarden zu versuchen, Sie ist eine Option. Aber ich denke, es ist...
00:42:45 I think today's going to be very interesting. Of course, as well, we have a lot of team changes. We have roster changes. We have Tyler making a change again, trying to find a team that he's comfortable on to try and force his way towards Sapporo. You've got, of course, the change, which I'm not going to talk about now. We'll save it for Americas. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm going to talk about, though, when we get there, because probably the biggest news in ALGS in the last year or so. But this is, again, what we're going to be playing today. We did see...
00:43:11 A little bit of a hint of B-District, but we didn't get to play it, Dan, but we didn't see any gunshot.
00:43:15 No guns shot thus far, just everyone dropping and then having to realise that their ring consoles aren't going to matter anyway. But I'm just looking at stats for scrims as well from this region and we did see, I think it was around 8 seers overall, but they didn't pop up as much. I think one of the biggest differences that I noticed from Americas to EMEA was Ashe. Ashe was actually used a lot more in EMEA than it was the Americas and again I think that might be down to comfort from previous patches and just in general.
00:43:45 mit APEX, die Leute sind gut.
00:44:13 It's always exciting when Alliance are on your screen, but not to kill the excitement. Not to kill the buzzkill. This might be another restart here. I'll wait for an official confirmation, but it looks like there might be an issue with a player or two. But yeah, there it is. There is the confirmation. But I am excited to see Alliance. By the way, I did get confirmation as I was looking across. 19 Caustics, 18 Alters. That's what we expected across the board.
00:44:38 Ja, ich denke, dass es die Caustic-Game 1 ist. Ich habe es gehört, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist. Ich denke, dass es die Kostik-Game 1 ist.
00:45:04 It wasn't really nerfed. It was a nerf. I guess you can call it a nerf where the barrels and being able to interact with it a little bit was nerfed. But it's not enough. I'll say it's not enough. Caustic's still going to be game one. Still very strong. Still going to be picked. But again, Legend Bans means that we will only have that one go. I'm interested to see if Caustic gets to a point where it doesn't make the ban on game one. Is there going to be a little bit of an adjustment? Sometimes we've seen Alter go just because...
00:45:33 You see so much Caustic and Alter that they tie, and then it comes down to the random tiebreaker. But I think the problem with Caustic is there's so much Caustic, you kind of have to play Caustic with how the Legend is. We're going to go for a break, everyone, while we get this match ready to go. Hopefully you can bear with us. Sorry for the little bit of a false start here. Sorry that you had to listen to us, but trust me, there's going to be some amazing games coming up very soon. We'll see you on the other side when game number one is ready to go.
00:46:10 Ja, ich habe den Weg.
00:46:29 Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier.
00:46:57 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.
00:47:35 Was ist passiert? GG's, Mann!
00:47:56 Ja, das ist ja.
00:48:24 Oh, looking so deadly with this sniper rifle in hand. But Wolves, they can't actually rotate out to get any of the picks. They're just getting harassed by so much utility that they go back to the low ground. Crazy Kong gets knocked. Can they even get this reset off? I don't think they can, Sturney. They're just gonna have to fight as a duo.
00:48:42 Yeah, I mean, he's just farming right now. He's getting so many picks right now. But the people are just dropping down and feeding him kills at the moment. And he's going to get another one here from Remarkable Team. He was on 1,100 damage before that fight kicked off. He's hit 400 damage with the Peacekeeper. And he's running out of ammunition. That's probably the only thing that's going to stop him, Stoney, I'll be honest. As we can see, Donut is also going to get a knock.
00:49:10 Wulz eSports sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Wir sehen, dass sie die Reset haben. Donut ist aggressiv. Sie hat das Remarkable Team. Wir haben drei Schwads left. NML ist ein Solo-Stoney. Ich weiß nicht, was ist passiert auf der anderen Seite. Aber Rendeng und NML haben einfach nur geholfen. Und Wulz eSports sind hier zu clean.
00:49:29 Oh, this is disgusting! He's gonna finish it off with one of the best endgames by a single person I've ever sent in and wolves! Take game number two!
00:49:51 2-10, Killed Castle!
Spiel 1: Legendenauswahl, Strategien und frühe Kämpfe
00:50:14
00:50:14 Welcome back to ProLeague, welcome to EMEA and welcome to game number one. Everyone's in the lobby, everyone's ready to go and we are going to eBank. So a little bit of foreshadowing from us, Dan Gaskin.
00:50:26 Ja, vielleicht ist es. Vielleicht ist es alles klar, wir haben das schon gesehen. Aber ja, Konfirmation, 19 Caustics, 18 Alters, 14 Newcastles. Und dann haben wir ein paar Teams ein bisschen anders. Ein paar Kryptos, Sparrows, Madmaggy, Ash, Wraith, Bangalore. So, da sind definitiv Teams versuchen etwas ein bisschen anders hier oder da. Aber wir sind noch dominiert bei der Alters-Caustik-Meta in der Öffentlichkeit. Ja, in terms of Teams werden können, werden wir sehr schnell gehen.
00:50:55 Zip, Blind, Mafia und Flight.
00:51:23 Always get to just take a second to pop to the bathroom get the ball down and then they can get back up to a to full health but they've already got a couple of I Would say unlikely neighbors at the start of this one if we have better evo and if they get a little bit damage here might push this
00:51:41 Take Flight certainly aware of their surroundings at the moment. You can just see by the way they're playing they are very concerned that they might be pushed and a couple of attempts they're getting a little bit of an abduction oh and it is gonna be a back and forth but both teams okay for now. Reminding me the difference between European and American public toilets they're American ones with far bigger gaps to look through than European ones we really do have it sorted over here. So big!
00:52:06 Warum sind da so viele Gapps? Ich weiß nicht, und ich weiß nicht, die Antwort auf diese Frage. Aber jetzt ist es ein Battle von den beiden Tieren. Aber was ein Pace we're starting up hier. KillerWayel ist bereits in der Killfeed. DJ, ich habe bereits einen gefunden.
00:52:23 Definitely a lot of early fights at the moment. Just so many teams moving early to try and get a great position in what they consider to be the final circle. And that's kind of the meta at the moment is move fast, get to a spot, especially in these early games where it is so prevalent with the likes of Caustic, with a lot of Newcastle, you can kind of build a base. Speaking of which, sorry to interrupt, but look at the composition that Killer Whales were playing. It was Ash, Bangalore and Sparrow, I believe. So...
00:52:51 No Caustic? No Newcastle? Ich denke, sie wollen die Leute fighten, dann? Ich denke, sie wollen die Idee? Ich denke, das würde sagen, es. Ja, und sie werden auch die Batsch für ein paar Jahre. So etwas, dass sie sich auf den Komponenten sehen können. Jetzt, Roadhouse, wir haben sie auf den Topf der Show gezeigt. Sie sind 4th in den Overalls hier in EMEA Pro League. Aber wir haben auch gesehen, wie es stand mit den Championships qualifizieren.
00:53:18 Roadhouse kind of need to be top three, so they need to go that one step further, try and catch up the likes of NVMI, Alliance and go next. A bit of a disappointing match for them yesterday has made that a little bit of a more pressurized situation to be in. What a good day today and all will be forgotten. Killer Whales on that composition we were talking about. Found a little bit of a spot in zone, but they're going to have to move across to their north through that.
00:53:44 Wind Tunnel, oder vielleicht über es, wenn sie einen Evac haben, wie Sie sehen, in der Backpack hier von Ninebongo. Aber ich denke, dass sie ihren Weg mit diesem Compositionen wollen.
00:53:57 Scouting the hands, of course, with that accelerator pop-up is going to mean the ultimates and the abilities are going to be coming back a little bit quicker if you can output some damage as well, which is one of the contributing factors to why we're seeing that in the hands of players over the likes of a 30-30, which did receive the nerfs that we highlighted, and that charge rifle, which was a personal favorite of mine. That was in inverted commas, for those of you who didn't catch that. Did you do air quotes? I did.
00:54:25 Pure Dr. Evil vibes.
00:54:33 So Killer Whales, I mean, I understand why they're going for the aggression. If they want to make it to champs, they need to be getting points on the board. They need to be at least qualifying for regional finals so that they can have a chance of doing the Hail Mary and winning regional finals, really. Legion Gaming, they're going for the more tried and tested and obvious composition. It is the most popular in this lobby at the moment, Newcastle, Caustic and Alter. And they're kind of fine. They're sitting pretty. They're happy here.
00:55:02 They are having a couple of popshots over towards other teams at the moment, but it's a waiting game. At this point, when you don't have the next ring console information, when you don't know where it's going to be going following, you just have to kind of wait, be patient, see where everyone else goes and accept your position and hold it for now. A couple of teams who are on the outside of this zone at the moment as we have a look at that zone. Ronin on the right hand side of your screen, they're heading towards Stadium to try and get next ring console information.
00:55:27 We also got Alliance, who are doing something pretty similar on the opposite side of the map over at Neon Square. So where this zone pulls is going to be interesting because they're obviously going to have that information and they're going to be able to plan their most efficient rotate into where the zone is going to be going. For teams who are already there, if it does shift down from the north to the south, you can see how busy that north hand side is already down. A lot of those teams are going to fall and have to fight their way towards zone. It's going to be difficult to play for ring four information because...
00:55:54 The info they just got there of Ring 3 doesn't really help them that much. Alliance and Legion Gaming both hit Ring Console at the same time, and okay, it's slightly pulling towards the southern side of Bank. I guess that is good info to have, but it's not a drastic shift that is really going to give you any sort of advantage. So I'm trying to look around and see if anyone can get Ring 4 information when that does happen. That's certainly going to be a tough one. Now Alliance, after that Ring Console information, they have moved in, and they did manage to get a knock on their journey through as well.
00:56:23 The Alliance will be safe inside of this next zone. You can see that on the top left hand side of your screen, but it's about getting deeper for them. It's about finding their way into a stronger position. Of course, going to be waiting to see where that zone pulls, I would imagine, before they try and plan their next rotate, having found a safe spot. They're also trying to hold out the teams who are moving in behind them, but unfortunately for them, a hackers have just been taken down by Dende.
00:56:46 And now they're going to have to look to reset. Unlucky on the Newcastle should be able to get him back up, but they're going to have to expel some resources here. As you can see, the Nox gas canister going out as well from effect to try and slow this push down. Yeah, Castle War also dropped. A lot of ultimates coming out. Big fight here. Unlucky, though, is Chunk. It does get Chunk back. Bongo is going to be able to get the Nox, but it's not going to matter. Killer Whale's aggressive comp, but they will be wiped out by Alliance showing how the defensive comp can hold strong.
00:57:16 If you're in zone and you're holding, this kind of composition is so, so deadly. Not only the reset ability that we saw as well, but the ability to put down cover, to take those fights, to peek and prod with those Peacekeepers. Perfect display there from Alliance of House of Turner. Difficult situation into one where it's points on the board and a spot that is your own. So Alliance now cleared their backs. Now they can look forward to where that next rotate is going to be.
00:57:41 There is a Ring Console in DraftPoint, so Alliance, if they wanted to, could play this one a little bit slower, hit the Ring Console, get Ring 4 information, and then try and force their way in, but at that point you do offer the opportunity to everyone else in the lobby to get into some of those big positions before you, but one thing that Alliance have always done well is bullying their way into Zone. They are so confident in taking their fights, even when they went and manned down there.
00:58:06 They still win the fight because they know how to apply the right pressure in the right areas and also when to drop those defensive abilities. A lot of teams are going to be safe now for quite some time. It's going to be a little bit of a ranged battle between teams just trying to poke and prod. They don't have purple evos, finding a way to try and get those evos up a little bit more to feel strong in the endgame. No teams outside of zone.
00:58:32 It's about where that next zone forces people at the moment. I think a lot of teams are very split on where it is going to go. Just looking at our map overhead at the moment, Dammit, it feels like everyone is kind of hovering around the perimeter. One team who has got something that's going to help them is FaZe Clan. They've just had a Mythic being spawned on them. That's great news for FaZe. See what they get, any goodies for them to work with. But you're right, everyone hovering at the moment because it's uncertainty of knowing really where to commit.
00:58:58 Also, es ist es schwierig, weil jeder hat einen Platz gefunden zu spielen. Es gibt so viele Trennungen gegen dich, und das ist warum wir viele Trennungen sehen, weil das Trennungen geht in die Opposition-Team. Und Ronin sieht aus wie sie müssen, hierher ist, und das ist eine andere Grund, warum Alter ist so populär in diesen Lobbys, weil du hast die Möglichkeit zu tun. Ja, du hast ein bisschen riskiert, um ein paar Kills zu machen, um ein paar Kills zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen, um das Knochen zu gewinnen.
00:59:25 Aber das bedeutet, dass sie dann wieder aufstehen können. Teams sind sicher der Rotate, die Sie versuchen zu machen.
00:59:33 Und es wird nur ein bisschen schwieriger sein. Das % der Falle erhöht sich ein paar Sekunden. So jetzt haben wir 51 Sekunden auf diese Zone-Close. Wir müssen uns jetzt machen. Ja, sie haben nicht die Möglichkeit, die Zone-Close zu gehen. Ja, sie haben nicht die Möglichkeit, die Zone-Close zu gehen und die Ring-Console zu gehen. By the way, Allianz waren nach Draft Point zu sehen, ob sie können Ring-Console zu gehen und die Zone-4 zu gehen. Das würde ihnen die Info geben, dass sie weiter zu gehen.
00:59:59 Aber ich denke, SPS sind in der gleichen Position, also könnte es ein Kampf passieren, nach Draft Point, schneller als später, als Ronin werden sie versuchen, aus der anderen Seite zu versuchen. Aber sie sind so eine Height-Disadvantage an der Moment, es ist schwierig zu nehmen, diese Fights zu nehmen. Ich denke, wie sie versuchen, an den Moment zu machen, die Anzahl der LOS-Teams zu haben, als sie durch die Low-Ground gehen, nicht vieles zu spielen. Das ist was sie versuchen, diese Alter-Qs zu nutzen.
01:00:23 Jetzt kommt der Allianz-Armee.
01:00:47 Allianz looking to force this fight. Let's jump into a listen in right now with Allianz and see if they can find these kills. Hey, how are you? Do we like go inside the tunnel here? Wait. Peek, I'm peeking. Get in for, get in for. They're resting, resting, resting. They just rest. They just rest on height. You can stay up and pay on me. 30. You can pay on me. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They don't want speed.
01:01:13 Mach das doch! Nächste, guck mich!
01:01:18 Ja, ich habe einen Kossik.
01:01:47 Okay. Okay, next. No, he's right here, he's right here. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, I'm not stealing, bro. I'm not stealing, bro. I'm playing up. I got three cells. I'm good. It's an alter. There's cute fruit. No, they're back down.
01:02:07 Ja, das ist gut für Onik und Endorse. Also gut von Hackes zu wissen, dass da ein Rapp hinter dem ist, nur aus der Caustic Barrel.
01:02:31 Ja, wirklich struggling at the moment. I'm gonna take...
01:02:59 Citadel getting the res, but that might just encourage a push here.
01:03:27 Sie sehen, es war ein Team, die zu pressen. Und Ronin ist jetzt auch ein Blick. Die Zone ist jetzt zu versuchen, das zu passieren, wahrscheinlich. Es gibt ein paar Pop-Shots, mehr Teams zu versuchen, die in die Zone zu kommen. 0-7, dann zu Natsky und Kachira. Cybercats gone, Take Flight eliminated als auch. Natsky und Kachira versuchen, aber es wird alles um die Newcastle jetzt.
01:03:50 Ja, das war so schnell. All die Teams wurden in Engagements geöffnet. Sadly, wenn man einfach nur überrascht, und einfach nur in die Zone geht, wird es nur für die Kanonvodder für die Teams, die haben besser positioniert und sind für die Lage geöffnet. Aber jetzt haben wir noch ein paar Teams, die sich in die Zusammenarbeit befinden. Sehr close, Ronan zu sein.
01:04:18 Sie sind gerade bei Citadel Gaming im Moment. Das ist jetzt wo die Alter Portals kommen in handy.
01:04:32 CJ is going to be the next one to fall. Still have been eliminated in the meantime elsewhere. And Nate is left on his own. Zuni is flying in there to try and finish this off. Ronin will be eliminated. But Citadel are down to just one. And Zuni is going to have to use a couple of void passages himself to try and survive here.
01:04:49 Citadel kommen in, und es ist ein Klingensweep in der Ende. Citadel, remember, sie waren die Team der Rez, aber sie waren able zu halten. Als ich sage das, Citadel geteilt, Legion Gaming werden diejenigen, die alles zu cleanen. Citadel hat sehr gut zu überleben, dass sie so lange. Sie haben jetzt Legion, die allein auf den Säde sind, so sie werden können, aber die Battle der Säde, Empire, Onik, Roadhouse, das wird sehr schwierig sein, als SJP2 geteilt.
01:05:19 Faye ist in eine fantastische Position auf der Highgrounds. Wir haben da Rotate gesehen, wie sie an Mythic gefunden haben. Jetzt wird sie in die Position zu wirklich convertieren, um eine 1st-Place Team zu werden. Roadhouse ist auch gut. Empire Gaming ist nicht gut. Sie sind alle Deathboxen jetzt, als Onik Esport wird das Spiel gewinnen, mit einem familiär und etwas Controversial-Name auf der Linie. Dan ist es zurück, um Probleme zu haben. Ja, ich sah ein paar Tweets von ihm aus, um die Region ein bisschen. Aber Onik sieht es, vielleicht.
01:05:48 It will be their last breath here in this game. Five squads remain, but it's about to be four, as now they'll be eliminated. Roadhouse will get the kills, and that leaves us with Legion, Roadhouse, FaZe, and Endorse. Legion have really taken a lot of space on that southeast side now, and the zone is going to be shifting slightly more east than it is west, so FaZe and Legion arguably benefiting the most from it. If FaZe can hold off Endorse here on this high ground, it should be their game. They essentially have zone on the height.
01:06:18 You can see that on your map overhead right now. Legion have the most space in the lobby, and if they can influence the fight between Endorse and FaZe Clan, that's going to be their best opportunity to win, but they have to be aware of Roadhouse. Roadhouse is down on that low ground, underneath where we see the position of FaZe Clan on our screens right now, in one of those tunnels. But for FaZe, this is a golden opportunity, and with a golden G7 scout in your hands, Zayn, who's been putting up crazy numbers in scrims recently, was probably thinking about getting his team out to a great start here.
01:06:47 In fact, the Fays have the Crypto as well. Could just add a little bit of something to this final circle. That drone, the EMP, might just give them an extra edge when it comes to damage and just flustering the opposition teams as well. Roadhouse, they've arguably got the hardest job here because they are stuck in such a difficult position. You can see they're trying to plan it out at the moment. The Newcastle Shield is going to be everything for them here, by the way. They're just trying to play in front of them and give them that little bit of space.
01:07:16 Und wir können hier in den R9 finden, um die Hügel zu holen, um die Hügel zu holen. Die Hügel zu stecken, die Hügel zu stecken. Die Hügel zu stecken, die Hügel zu stecken, die Hügel zu stecken.
01:07:35 Ja, FaZe ist sehr gut, nur zu halten Endorse auf den gleichen Zeit. Sie haben so viel Schmerz gemacht, das hat sich nicht so viel Schmerz gemacht. Und sie haben sich in die Schmerz geholfen. Und sie haben sich in die Schmerz geholfen. Und sie haben sich in die Schmerz geholfen. FaZe hat so viel Aufmerksamkeit. Und jetzt können sie auf die Schmerz auf die Schmerz gehen. Die meisten Endorse haben sich in die Schmerz geholfen.
01:07:57 Nacken versuchen zu finden, Sennetik zu finden, einen Blast zu finden. Es geht um Lufka, dann Dorsk will die Eliminate. Faze, es geht um Tera von der hohen Grain. Sie müssen das machen, weil Legion Gaming im Moment nicht so gut ist. Und Faze, die nicht wollen, müssen die beiden Teams aufbauen. Sie wollen diese Squad-Squad nicht wirklich aufbauen, bevor sie aufbauen.
01:08:20 Sie sehen, sie versuchen nur das zu tun. Die Legiongabbing jetzt haben sie zu pressen. Oh, Exelphian popped hier bei Naxx. Das kann wirklich, wirklich implementiert werden. Wenn sie das Knoxgas-Kanister sind, dann wird das Knoxgas-Kanister gewinnen. Aber sie müssen die Knoxgas-Kanister geben. Und wenn sie die Knoxgas-Kanister haben, dann wird das Knoxgas-Kanister geben. Und wenn sie die Knoxgas-Kanister haben, dann wird das Knoxgas-Kanister geben.
01:08:51 Und das ist das, was wir sehen von FaZe in Scrims. Und remember, FaZe muss in Pro League gewinnen, oder Region Finals gewinnen, wenn sie es nach Sapporo gewinnen. Es ist einfach nicht so gut, dass sie nicht in den zweiten, dritten und dritten werden. Es muss ein gewinnen. Und es ist ein großer Job, wenn sie die Leidenschaften haben, mit diesen drei weiteren Matchdayen.
01:09:19 Maybe they're just looking at regional finals as the realistic opportunity here, but you've also got to keep pressing and give yourself that opportunity regardless.
FaZe Clans Dominanz in Spiel 1 und Roadhouse's beeindruckende Leistung
01:09:27
01:09:27 I think everyone's been waiting for FaZe to do something, right? It's been like the meme, the poke the stick meme. It's been do something FaZe. Well, doing something in game one is exactly what they have done. 12 placement points alongside the nine kills that they got. It means 21 points in game number one for FaZe. Legion Gaming in behind them as well. Just a 3kp for them, but it is a second place where they get those nine points. Roadhouse coming in behind them. Seven kills down. Very impressive from Roadhouse to come out of that situation with seven kills.
01:09:54 Ja, Roadhouse 7, Alliance also, by the way, got 8 kills, even though the fact they went down in 13th position. But that's the performance that Roadhouse need. If they want to be catching up, if they want to be pushing for that top 3, pushing for the chance of getting two champs via points, they need to be dominating lobbies like this. They need to be taking advantage of, like, the likes of GoNex not being in this lobby as well. Now, FaZe Clan, though, they were really the team that pressed on. They got that...
01:10:19 und dann können sie einfach einfach gehen und wandern ihren Weg in eine der besten Positionen gehen. Sie haben nicht so viele Fights in dieser Position. Sie haben nicht so viele Fights in dieser Position. Sie haben nicht so viele Fights in dieser Position. Und ich denke, das ist sehr wichtig, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es eine Chance gibt, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es eine Chance gibt, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein Angle ist, wenn es ein
01:10:39 Ja, 2.4k damage für Zayn in dem Spiel. Er hat alles in der Lobby gesagt, er hat gute Numbers in Scrim als auch. Das wird über die Pro-League gehen. Wir werden sehen, ob es über die Game 2 geht. Wir gehen zum nächsten Mal, wenn wir zurückkommen. Game Nr. 2 ist gekommen.
01:11:09 Lidl Order! Lidl Order! Lidl Order! Lidl Order!
01:11:44 Ja, das ist eine große Herausforderung. Das ist eine große Herausforderung. Das ist eine große Herausforderung. Das ist eine große Herausforderung.
01:12:16 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020
01:13:19 Ja, ich denke, das ist interessant ist, dass die Viewers at home hier auf der Final Circle ist, und wie FaZe hat es geschafft.
Die Bedeutung von Zonen-Vorhersagen und Zane's Leistung
01:13:48
01:13:48 Was, off the first and second zone pull, I think a lot of teams were expecting that zone to go down to the southwest, which is where you saw a lot of the traffic start to build up. Historically, I would say probably more of a familiar ending for a lot of the teams based on that first zone read or second zone read based off a ring console. And I think just...
01:14:06 Faze just arrived late and just got a little bit of fortune going their way that everyone had banked upon that. Maybe a little bit of that classic, oh, we see a lot of teams over here. It must be going this way. So everyone starts to kind of be influenced by everyone else's position. But Faze, once they're in this position, I need to talk about Zayn because I managed, I kind of highlighted his damage output in scrims. It has been off the charts. And if you look at the difference between him and everyone else in that lobby.
01:14:33 Everyone else in that top three was around 1K, just over or just under. Zane had 2.4K. That is a huge difference. And I think when you've got a player like that who's starting to find that form, starting to find, I think, a little bit of the drive back as well with Sapporo around the corner, Fade's going to be dangerous. He's also the type of player that we've been waiting to see him reach his peak potential. We saw a glimpse of it back at LAN a few years ago, and then all of a sudden he's really become a staple, I would say, in the EMEA Pro League, but hasn't quite found that.
01:15:02 Rhythm that made us scream at the top of our lungs and say Zane with people cheering on in the background. It feels like maybe just maybe this could be the iteration that we've been hoping to see of him. At least I think this is the right combination of players. Synetic, I think he had a great run last year. I was really surprised that they weren't able to make more done. They had a good land performance over in Europe when we visited in Germany. And I think that the other elements in L.A., they were a strong team, had some roster reshufflings, but to be with Nags, to be with Zane.
01:15:30 I think this is a great pick. And also the Crypto. I mean, this is an early Crypto. We don't see every team bringing this out, Mark. How do you feel about him jumping in as well? Obviously, we got the traditional Caustic Band Game 1. What do you think this Crypto is going to last? It's an interesting one, isn't it? Because I think if I'm being completely honest with you, I think one thing that Crypto really does help is...
01:15:52 IGLs, die haben sich ein bisschen struggling mit Krypto in der Composition getrennt, weil sie so viel Informationen haben. Und nicht nur das, aber natürlich auch, du kannst auf Survey Beacons gehen, also du kannst noch mehr Informationen auf wie du planst und rotatest. Und ich denke, wenn du dich ein bisschen zu lernen, um die Gamer und IGL zu lesen, gibst dir die Tools, um es einfacher für dich. Und ich denke, dass die Krypto in der Composition, das wird dir die Tools geben. Und du kannst es sehen, dass die Phase da, der Walk-In, die sie gefunden hat, war...
01:16:20 Und dann, wenn du nach Nags und Zayn wiederholst, wie du gesagt hast, haben wir gesehen, was sie können als Fraggers machen. Es geht darum, dass sie in die Position zu leben und das Dammage machen können. Und ich glaube, Faze, wenn wir zurückkehren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, auf das Rotate, bevor sie sogar in die Aktion hatten. Wenn wir Zayn und Nags in die Endgame haben, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren, sie waren.
01:16:47 They will, and they're certainly the type of players that have the confidence to do it. We've interviewed Nags on the landstage floor, and he's talked about his ability and his confidence. Obviously, teams and rosters have shuffled. That's what we want to bring back to. There has been the shuffling of the pack, not just in terms of the legends, but in terms of the players. This team stayed together, though, but maybe that shuffle, for whatever reason, brings them back into a position that they feel comfortable. The players around them, the dynamics of this meta.
01:17:15 We'll have to keep a close eye on FaZe as they stick with the Crypto. Synetic did a good job of last game coming out on top. And we see Nags opt for the Watson, which again hasn't been banned very frequently. Still looks like it's not going to get banned here. The Altar or the Newcastle will certainly be the one to go away. Just a matter of who's got the edge.
01:17:37 Wir sehen ein viel Alter in diesem Spiel. Es sieht aus wie das könnte die BAN sein. Wir bekommen das natürlich an der Ende des Spiel. Aber wir sehen uns auf die Zone. Wir gehen auf die Heizung. Vielleicht ein bisschen außerhalb von Heizung. Slightly eher in der Mitte der Zone. Ein bisschen schwierig zu sehen. Ich glaube, viele Teams denken über die Galleria und die Ring-Console zu sehen. Aber das Problem ist, dass alle anderen die gleiche Idee haben.
01:17:59 Galleria ist nicht die größte, die wir hier auf E-District in der ALGS haben. So ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst, ihr müsst. Das ist die letzte Spiel für Alter. Wir haben die Konfirmation, 19 Alters aus 20. Das ist 95 Prozent.
01:18:17 Ich glaube, es ist gut für sie. Ich bin froh, dass ich das. Ich bin froh, dass ich das. Ich bin froh, dass ich das. Ich bin froh, dass ich das. Ich bin froh, dass ich das.
01:18:47 der Composition hat sich jetzt so jetzt die Spieler testen, um zu kommen, um etwas zu tun, um etwas zu tun, wenn sie etwas off-meta sind. Und ich glaube, jetzt werden Sie das in Game 3 sehen. Die Last Chance mit Alter ist so crucial, um E-District ist. Onnick, wir folgen mit dem. Wir haben ein paar Shots, um sie zu sehen. Das ist ein bisschen zu sehen. Das ist ein bisschen zu sehen. Das ist ein bisschen zu sehen. Das ist ein bisschen zu sehen.
01:19:12 Es ist einfach so, dass wir das A&P nicht haben. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen. Wir können das A&P nicht ausgehen.
01:19:36 Ich glaube, das ist das Problem, das ist das Promenade, die man sieht, in der Hintergrund, das große Wall, das man sieht, aber sehr schwierig zu halten, besonders jetzt, wenn wir nicht Klaustick haben. So die Dynamik des Spiels ist bereits zu verändern, hier für diese Teams. Die Teams, die wir jetzt schon mal fighten sind, Cybercats und Alliance, sehr nahe zu uns, an der Auszeit von Zone, an der Moment, als TakeFlight will einfach nur über die Ausbildung des Zones geben.
01:20:01 Das ist absolut richtig. Und wenn man die Zonen hat, was diese Zone gebracht hat, um die Dynamik von einem Top-Team ist, das Allianz ist, die auf der westen Seite mit Cybercats sind, ein bisschen slow, vielleicht easy path. Sie haben einen 3v-3, die ich denke, wenn ihr in den Hockey-Effekt ist, ihr habt jeden Tag in den Hockey-Effekt.
01:20:24 So two top teams getting added, Aku finding Cracked. And that is probably still no kills from Alliance, but the chase certainly happening on CyberCat. So two teams getting into it early, Mark.
01:20:53 Ja, Sie sehen die Hoffnung von Faze da. Ich meine, sie haben ein guter Bildung im Zone. Sie haben auch die Hoffnung, wie die Nummer 1 war. Sie wollten niemanden näher den Bildung nicht mehr. Der erste Reaktion zu werden war, was das Team zu verabschieden. Und wenn du auf der Rückseite gewonnen hast, hast du gewonnen.
01:21:12 We're not going to be able to find the kill as yet, but still looking out for Cybercats in the area. It looks like Cybercats have created enough space. Yes, you can see them in the background that Alliance are going to be able to continue their way forward. There is a ring console over in City Hall at the moment, which is probably why Alliance want to dominate that space so they can find that information out for the next rotate. SJP2, a little bit of a tight spot here with zone closing behind them.
01:21:37 Es ist es, und Sie sehen sich S.J.P. 2, Pappen mit Fenix. Einmal dieses Runs ist okay. Und Sie sehen uns die Meds, Marc, ich fühle mich, ich fühle mich sehr gut über das. Wir sahen das den anderen Tag, wir arbeiten mit zwei Syringes und eine Drain. Das ist nicht gut, dass es ein guter Spielplan ist. Aber eine andere Team hier, das wir hier haben, war es Match Day 2, dass ich sie auf dem, nach einem wirklich starken Performance auf Match Day 1. Es ist Killinge Whales. Sie haben irgendwie fallen von der Weisheit ein bisschen. 18, nur 1-point. Rocken das Bo-Check-Bow.
01:22:06 Ja.
01:22:29 Die Killer Whale ist jetzt so, wie ich ehrlich bin, weil sie einfach nur ein. Es ist interessant zu sehen, dass sie eigentlich die Composition von der Ultra-Agro-Comp zu einer mit Newcastle in es für die Nummer 2 war. Obviamente, sie fühlten sich etwas, was es nicht richtig in das erste Spiel. 6L-Gaming, wie Sie sehen. Sie sind die Trap. Sie sind nicht auf den Momenten zu finden. Hjp2, Sie haben sich zu bemerken. Sie sind ein bisschen ein Pinch hier. Es gibt ein paar Teams auf der Säden-Zyde-Zone, und wenn Sie nicht in die Position, Sie haben die Cover.
01:22:57 Du kannst dich in trouble, aber du kannst dich auf den Alter zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, aber du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, also du kannst dich auf den Weg zu retten, und ich glaube, du kannst dich auf den S.J.P. 2
Citadel Gaming's Counter-Comp und FaZe Clans Dominanz in E-District
01:23:27
01:23:27 Out for the count. Citadel Gaming racked up three more. And they cleared their backside. Look at this comp. Game number two, Citadel Gaming, by the way. Alter, Seer, Maggi. And you've just seen why Maggi is so good. The right drill to force the last...
01:23:43 und dann die Maggi-Ball, die Wrecking Ball, die er in den air launches. Er ist stunned und ist der easiest kill man will ever sehen in den ALGS. So I love what we're seeing from EMEA hier. A couple of these teams really trying to mix up their compositions and not going with that familiar flow that we see. They're really trying to kind of catch people off guard here. It's right in line with the theme, shuffling the pack, but also the rise of these countercomps.
01:24:10 We saw this with Shopify Rebellion in the Americas, but now I think Citadel Gaming is in a great spot for us to see as a bit of a test run, a theory on display of will the Seer and Maggie disrupt a lot of what the EMEA squads are bringing to the table. Typically, though, we see it be so effective against the Gibraltar, but there's hardly any Gibraltars in this. There are zero Gibraltars in this lobby, which is also, I'd say, Mark,
01:24:35 Pretty surprising given the way that AMIA and Americas went yesterday and it only being game two.
01:24:42 Well, as we see the map overhead, that's pretty much where we're expecting this zone to be pulling. And I think a lot of teams would be a lot more comfortable with where that zone is pulling. Ronin have managed to get the reset here. They've got MG Clutch back into the game. And they found themselves safe inside of this next zone as well. And they're trying to force the zipline Mafia away. And they're actually just going to slap him down. MG Clutch got taken down, but now he's taking down players.
01:25:10 Excusi is going to go down. I think we'll be credited with that kill, with the R99. And now Ronin probably thinking about looking towards that ring console here at Galleria. You can see there's attention towards a team that's already over there. If they can find a pick, then that will be theirs. It's a big rotation that needs to happen. It's been a while since we've seen that exhibit, huh? On full display, and so is Arctic.
01:25:36 Und jetzt geht's, geht's, geht's!
01:26:04 Oh mein Gott. Oh mein Gott. I mean, 4 Arches, man. He just exploded. He got peaked by 3 players at the same time. You just don't have a chance. Even on Wraiths, couldn't hit the queue, couldn't do anything. Just annihilated. And again, you can see Citadel Gaming, what their game plan is here. If they get an opportunity, they get a damage advantage, they're gonna push.
01:26:28 Also, I just think we forget, and a lot of this lobby, they haven't forgotten, but they're hoping that people don't remember what it feels like to get scanned.
01:26:39 ... ... ... ... ...
01:27:01 Aber es ist auch ein bisschen passiv, einfach nur bei der Natur von ihm existieren, es öffnet sich für Citadel Gaming. Und ich liebe das, dass sie einfach sagen, wir spielen Edge, wir sind nicht in die Zone, wir sind ein bisschen late, und wir werden Fights machen, denn niemand ist in eine gute Position hier, niemand sollte mehr Informationen haben als uns, und wenn es ein Krypto-Team ist, cool, aber sie werden schneller als was wir haben. Ich liebe es, als SPS also versucht zu werden, aber sie haben einen Stabler, mit dem Newcastle verloren.
01:27:32 Down to two. Something to highlight here as well. Just like you were talking about with the Seer Q. With these static compositions, a lot of it will be based around a Newcastle getting his Q down. If you get hit by the Seer Q, you get your hands tied. You can't get that Q down. And then the opportunity in that window to push evolves and presents itself. Temuchi will go down here.
01:27:56 An SPS will go down. Zipline Mafia also fallen on this southern side. By the way, the zone has completely shifted to the northern side of where we saw a few moments ago. Killer Whale is King Victor still alive here. Still causing problems. King Victor knows that they've got to do their best just to grab a little bit of KP. At this point, it's not on display, so he's got to run. Unfortunate. Should spell the end of Killer Whales unless we see a miracle. Kind of keep tabs on that in our top right corner and see if he goes down to the ring or another.
01:28:25 Also Alliance.
01:28:54 Das ist das Zones-Schiff. Wir sehen es mehr und mehr auf E-Districts. Wir sehen es mehr auf E-Districts. Wir sehen diese Ping-Pongen. Zones 4, 5, 6, wo Teams denken sie einen guten Platz haben, und dann all of a sudden sind sie zu machen und adaptieren.
01:29:14 To where the zone is going to be going. At the moment, to give you context on the map overhead, as we see a fight breaking out here on the low ground between U-Aim, very, very quickly as these thermites come in, there's only one team on the northern side at the moment, and that's Alliance. Everyone else, basically, apart from FaZe, is on the southern side. If I'm Citadel Gaming, I'm loving this. If I'm U-Aim, I'm hoping that I can finish this off, but it's not going to be enough. And Calamity and Blooming Flower will hold that down. FaZe?
01:29:42 Zayn, sie haben den Vorteil, und sie wissen, dass die Teams werden in die East-Side gehen, und das bedeutet, dass sie einfach aus den G7 gehen können. Ein bisschen action von Phoenix und Endorse, wieder auf die Killfeed. Passion geht auch. Lass, Picking-up-A-Kill für Roadhouse. Ein bisschen action hier, als die Teams gehen in die Zone.
01:30:04 kind of on the outskirts of the southern side right here over the top you get a glimpse of what I'm talking about the action here at 07 found a little corner Tyler FPS say hello to a grenade as 07 say 07 in the lobby I think 07 want to pick up Tyler just to give him a bit more firepower the problem is that's not getting great spots at the moment Citadel Gaming with this composition though are causing havoc in this lobby
01:30:30 Das ist so eine gute Komposition. Du sahst die Vision, die sie von Remix-Powers bekommen haben, und dann Zuni weiß, dass sie genau die Health Bars sehen, wie viele Spieler sind da, wenn es Zeit zu gehen und die Alter Queue ist.
01:30:56 Passes through the dimension so quickly, it takes the rift so that they can capitalize on the exact moment. It's just a composition that this lobby isn't prepared for. I'm surprised that we haven't seen teams adopt Seer and they've been resistant to it. I understand why, because if everyone's doing this, it's a completely different game. But my goodness, Citadel Gaming, while the getting is good, they are certainly getting it.
01:31:20 Zuni still alive, but it looks like Remix powers has fallen. The power of their seer. It could come crashing down with FaZe, the giants of this lobby saying.
01:31:50 We know you've been doing some work over here. We got to put it into it because sooner or later the axe is going to turn towards our direction. Kaisha still alive. Citadel Gaming eliminated, but not without taking down so many other teams and earning 20 points overall after two games. They're going to be happy about that, but FaZe Clan still in the commanding position to your kind of eastern side. You can see the zone here on your upper left part of your screen. CyberCats Alliance.
01:32:18 In that middle of the zone, but FaZe Clan still holding the same building. Oh Mark, they're sneaking in. They're sneaking in. FaZe have just been brilliant in the last few seconds, by the way. I want to talk about it very, very quickly. Because they have done what you need to do if you're holding a spot. And that is clear your side of zone. They have completely cleared the likes of Citadel, who were going to be their biggest threats. And now they don't have to worry about their backs. And you were talking about their walk-in being safe. Well, now it's even safer. Because they only have to focus forward. Cybercats will go as well.
01:32:47 Und das ist Faze auf eine Rampart run. 4 Quads left. Ich freue mich zu sehen, wie sie das machen. Lass uns in mit Faze und sehen, wie sie diese Final Zone haben. Sie haben sie kommen. Sie haben sie kommen. Sie haben sie kommen. Sie haben sie auf die Queue. Sie haben sie auf die Queue. Oh, das ist so annoying. Play here, play here, play here. Wir müssen die Queue auf die Queue auf die Queue auf die Queue auf die Queue auf die Queue.
01:33:14 Wir müssen sie nicht machen. Wir müssen sie nicht machen. Wir müssen sie nicht machen.
01:33:35 Incredible stuff from Vaze, trying to apply pressure from a distance. They got the right weapons for it. G7 Scout poking, prodding on that eastern side, saying, do not come any closer. But the teams that they're talking about, not going to be so easily persuaded. And Alliance, and of course, Roadhouse and Ronin.
01:33:53 I'd say probably the four most consistent teams in EMEA, if you throw Go Next in that conversation as well, find themselves postured against each other. Lions, who somehow found their way from their POI to their Godspot, now have...
01:34:08 All of the height to play with as well. Hack is commanding space as well. He's trying to put damage onto Faze. He's trying to make sure that they are forced away from their position as Rode in to side. Hey, we want to try and play. Maybe not for the win here, but certainly for some extra placement and extra KP. They are flying in on the low ground and Rodehouse are taking damage. That Maggy Q is going to be a day late and a dollar short. Faze are swinging on him, but what's going to be the response? Ronan eliminated after that aggression and it leaves Alliance.
01:34:37 Fantastic job from Alliance. All based off of that zone pull. They had Godspot and they converted as well.
01:34:59 You heard from the listening, the very brief one that we had with FaZe. He gave us great information on what their play was. It was, let's try and play for second here. We know that we're not in the best spot for this final zone with how the teams are positioned. So FaZe coming out of that with KP, second place, great game off the back of a winning game, number one. And like you say, Alliance to Powerhouse, they're in the conversation as well there with a big winning game, number two. It's funny to look at a lobby and, you know, it's not actually so strange to see Alliance in a position where they're not leading.
01:35:27 Out the gate, they are a team that sometimes has started slow, but we know they always end up with some of these major wins. This was a big win, and I think just getting them going was huge, especially before another game in Storm Point. But FaZe Clan...
01:35:39 Because of those choices that you so appropriately mentioned, Marc, sacrificing the overall status of first place for maybe a more efficient second place win, they might have been able to stay at the top of the lobby. It's gonna be very close as we take a look at some of the head-to-head matchups, Alliance and FaZe.
01:36:01 Ja, und kommen aus dem Spiel mit mehr Points als Allianz, als auch, durch die 11 Kills, die sie getrennt haben. Ich denke, sie sehen, wie sie haben eine sehr einfachen Plan heute und sie haben eine sehr einfachen Plan.
01:36:19 Objective they have to achieve to get to Sapporo and at the moment FaZe are performing 20 kills in two games that is phenomenal look at the rest of the lobby 41 points overall shout out to Citadel though that was a big big game for them on the KP side of things they had to fight through so many teams on that southern side where all the traffic was so I think they'll be pretty happy being in fourth place overall off those first two
01:36:41 Yeah, I'm really surprised. I mean, FaZe, they have kept this up. They've built a lead now with Alliance even stepping up with the win. This is the type of match day FaZe seem to be built for. They've already gotten a win earlier on. Can they keep it up with the points to separate themselves, maybe take a first place? All that to be found out as we head to our final game of E-District after this.
01:37:11 Oh, ich habe Maggi-Ball, man.
01:37:51 Ich hab die Team! Ich hab die Team!
01:38:18 Ich bin jetzt hier. Ich bin jetzt hier.
01:38:48 Wat?
01:39:37 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:39:54 Other big boys performing. Phase take game number one. Alliance answering back though in game number two on E-District with a big, big win. But Dan, I think the conversation has to be we are seeing the rise of the counter comp. I want to talk about Citadel Gaming a little bit and what they were running in game number two. Yeah, we are starting to see teams now try and go against the grain here. Try and find a way to break through what we've been seeing about those teams just kind of setting up.
01:40:17 Bollstering down and then instead you go for something that can actually wipe them out and take them out of that position as well. And what I'm curious is to where people go now, Alter has been banned as well. There's going to be a lot of potential for Wraith to come into the equation, which is something we've seen a lot of, especially in scrims. Wraith actually got banned at this point. But as we look back at some of the highlights, we can see you mentioned it. Most of our top teams were in this final circle.
01:40:43 Wir waren die Best der Besten der Region, alle in den letzten vier Schweden stehen. Wir sind sicher. Die Allianz sind in die Position auf der Norden Seite der Benefit... Die Benefitors, excuse mich, der Zone war. Die Benefitors. Die Benefitors. Ich weiß nicht, dass das ein Wort ist, aber es ist Posh genug, dass es einfach nur so ist. Ronin hat sich entschieden, dass der Bestes hier ist, dass sie für Placements bei WIPing spielen.
01:41:04 Ich denke, dass wir Faze sind, dass wir ein Duo haben. Also, wenn sie sich auf die Team befinden können, dann können wir die nächste Team gewinnen. Aber Faze haben wir gehört von den Listen-In als auch. Aber sie waren für 2nd, und als Ronin geht es dann, Synetik war es zu sein. Allianz, nicht diese. Es ist einfach als das. Wenn Allianz lost diese, würde ich... ...do etwas, dass ich nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht.
Regionale Unterschiede bei Legend Bans und Teamstrategien
01:41:26
01:41:26 Just something you wouldn't do. What wouldn't you do? You wouldn't not eat 12 meatballs if they were presented in front of you. It's a very short list. To be fair, things I wouldn't do. Mark will do a lot. So, one more game on E-District then and Alter will be banned. Now, interestingly in APAC North, Crypto was banned at this point. In APAC South, Watson was banned in Game 2. So then Alter got banned in Game 3. So we are seeing region to region a lot of differences.
01:41:54 mit dieser Legend-Selection und was die Preference tendt zu sein. Während in EMEA, in Scrims meistens ist es Wraith. Denn mit Alter, Wraith dann wird es der größte Legend der Welt gewonnen. Das kann man die Möglichkeit, von Punkt A zu Punkt B zu transitionieren. Und es sieht aus, dass das hier auch sein wird. Also, wie Scrims, werden wir 16 Wraiths sehen. Und Wraith werden in den Match 4 geöffnet werden. Aber was das macht, Marc, ist, dass es Newcastle bleibt.
01:42:20 It does, but is Newcastle feeling, players feeling as confident in Newcastle in their composition now that we're seeing the likes of Maggie being picked? It's all of these interesting factors that are starting just to post some questions to teams, coaches, analysts of how they want to approach these games and also what to expect as well because there's been a few times, I think last weekend I noticed, there was a few bands that caught a few teams off guard and they were like, oh.
01:42:48 Okay, this has been banned early, or this hasn't been banned early, now we have to play this. It's a very interesting game of chess that's developing in these legend bans. And I also think there's a few teams who are probably playing certain things in scrims with one eye on the Pro League day thinking, this is what we think is going to be played. How can we play around that and get more games with not just a comp, but also one that's going to maybe counteract what we're expecting to see. And then it becomes...
01:43:14 10 times more interesting when you get to international competition. As I was already mentioning, it's very different from region to region. If you look back at last week, for example, I'll use crypto as an example just because it's the most different, but APAC South banned crypto game 3, APAC North crypto game 4, America's crypto game 5, and EMEA didn't ban crypto at all. So if you then take that to international competition, who knows where crypto gets banned? Suddenly, you can't really plan for it, and I know we have a...
01:43:39 Es gibt ein bisschen eine Gap zwischen Split 2 und Champs, so es gibt einen Unterschied in was die Composition zu sehen, aber das ist noch etwas sehr evident. Von Scrims in der eigenen Region zu Scrimmage in der internationalen Competition zu planen über Legend Bands ist unmöglich, weil verschiedene Regionen haben eine sehr unterschiedliche Playstyle.
01:43:58 Well, looking at the zone, it's going to be another eBank one by the looks of things. And you can see 07 moving from draft point immediately. They had consoles, so that's where they're going to be playing down on that southwestern side, much like they decided to on game number one. But we did see a little bit of a funky pull that time. It's going to be interesting to see if it does go a little bit more traditional here in comparison to what we saw on game number one. It looks a little bit more westerly, I would say, in comparison to that game number one zone that we saw that pulled a little bit more central. So 07, not second guessing.
01:44:28 Their position they want to play based upon what happened in Game 1.
01:44:57 Es ist auch interessant, weil ich glaube, viele Teams, die nach Energiebank sind, denken, okay, Leute, wir haben eine Konsole hier, dann wir planen. Und sie werden nicht wissen, dass es viele Teams schon da sind. Und dann ist es so, dass wir nicht so gut sind. Und man kann es sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr denken, dass man all die Platz zu spielen hat, mit den Teams, die vielleicht nach Westen gehen. So, ja, das ist eine interessante Zone, zu sagen. Das ist sicherlich, die IGLs auf der Zone 1 Reade zu stellen, oder wie sie planen zu spielen, wie du sagst.
01:45:25 Ja, ich bin Full, SJP2 und SPS sind alle nach Westen, nach Blossom Drive und die anderen Bereichen. Und sie waren alle die gleiche Sache, um zu sehen, ob sie sich die Info bekommen. Aber auch, dass sie sich auf die Initialen Gedanken um, ja, das ist wahrscheinlich ein bisschen weiter nach Westen. Jetzt Onyck wird eine große Chance mit der PK. Und sadly, King Kortel und Kortel ist ein Badstel. Nein, Bongo!
01:45:51 He's going to be food here for Zidane. Yes, Zidane made it interesting, but he was never going to lose that one. Killer Whales have been eliminated. That's three games in a row where unfortunately they have just been kind of feeding the rest of the lobby when it comes to kills. Not really able to have the impact that they would have wanted to. Another fight though that's breaking out is SJP2. They're down just to the north of Street Market at the moment. There's SPS who are on the other side of this. Lots of S's involved in this fight, Dan.
01:46:15 Yeah, these are the same teams they were up towards Blossom Drive. They've been transitioning south at the same time. Both of them went to the ring console. I don't think either of them actually got the info they wanted because FUL were already there as well. So now we're just getting this scuffle on the left-hand side that isn't comfortable for anyone. None of them have info. None of them got the ring console that they wanted. So now they're kind of just fighting and posturing up against each other and wasting time, essentially, because all the other teams that do have ring console are going to be able to get...
01:46:42 So far east over towards the middle of the map that these teams are not going to be able to get into a good spot at all. Yeah, it's going to be a little bit of a rough one. You can see now one team at least is going to be able to hit that console. That's going to be FUL actually who's up on the high ground. So we were talking about SPS and SJP2. Well, they disengaged and one console has been found and I'll be interested to see if SPS try and play for the console or...
01:47:05 auf FULs nächste Spiel. Weil wenn sie nicht hier für ein paar Zeit gehen, dann vielleicht SPS werden sie denken, BabyZone ist hier. Ja, ich denke, FUL hat die Ring-Console und dann sind sie dann auf FML und sie denken, wie auf der Erde sind wir jetzt hier? Und jetzt die Cybercats sind auch hier, auf Blossom Drive, so Cybercats hören diese Gunfire und auch wahrscheinlich wollen das Ring-Console machen und dann, für keinen Fall, wir haben vier Teams auf der westen Seite der Map.
01:47:34 Faze are in a great spot and they have been in good spots for games one and two and been able to convert it into a first and second place respectively. That's second place as well. Not just a second place. You got the most points in the lobby due to the huge amount of KP that they have taken home. 41 points Dan after two games. It is the perfect start for Faze. And as I said, we've seen this from Faze in scrims. I often will post the results of scrims to you of just...
01:48:02 Where these teams are landing and it I've seen phase number one number two number one number two and They need it. They need to be playing this way They are so far off champs qualification just through points that they have to be winning pro legal regional finals and I think they're setting themselves up nicely because even if they're not gonna win pro league let's say they don't catch up the likes of go next and alliance Going into regional finals when you look at how phase of performing you genuinely would believe they have a chance to get that miracle run
01:48:29 To get a spot through regional finals. And that's what it's about for them. It's just putting themselves in the position to potentially win it. And having that confidence in themselves and in their ability. It's interesting as well. If you think about what they have to do. Even if Alliance were to go on and win Pro League. You know, that means there's potential opening up of a spot. If you don't quite manage to get it done in regional finals. All of these things add up.
01:48:53 All of these things add up, all these permutations are very interesting to keep an eye on. So I think the big thing for us is like who's in form heading towards that Regional Finals in a couple of weeks time. That's going to be a hell of a day of action in the ALGS with Sapporo qualification on the line. Onik though, they're going to have to retreat for now. They're outside of zone, just outside of draft point at the moment. They've got NOM behind them. They've got SJP2 have now moved from that Western position. Probably, again, looking for that ring consult.
01:49:20 To find out where this next zone is going to be going. Because they don't have that information at the moment. But where the zone is going down is towards the southwest here of Energy Bank. So a more traditional read that's paying off for these teams.
01:49:33 So SJP2, after their conflict on the western front, they have to move a little bit further down to the south side. And they're the first team to run Pathfinder in this lobby as well. They're the only Pathfinder, may I add, in this lobby. And we'll see whether that can help them transition from point A to point B here, because that zipline can be very important here on E-District in certain zones. Sometimes it's negated completely, but other times it can just be the perfect thing.
01:50:02 The funny thing about Apex Legends is there are niche situations where you're like, I wish I had this legend, or I wish I had that legend, or I can't believe they had that legend here. Yeah, well thank god we've got this legend. And then you go into the next game and you're like, alright, okay, we should have played this legend, let's play it now, and then suddenly that niche situation doesn't arise. So you have to be on something that is going to provide the most situations possible rather than just that one niche scenario.
01:50:26 Also, Pathfinder's gonna have the Elite Hit the Survey Beacons as well, so that'll give you a little bit of extra information. FUL, though, have moved through the Wind Tunnel, and they're having to hold our team at their back at the moment. Really good position to actually hold for the longer game here, if they can hold this. It's probably one of the easier chokes to hold. You can see the advantages they have with height. They can get a gen down as well. Why are we just waiting to put that gen down at the moment, Kuro, just based upon trying to get a read of what composition is coming their way?
01:50:55 Wenn es ein Maggi oder ein Krypto ist, dann werden die EMP warten können, bevor sie den Gen getrennt werden, um die EMP zu werden, bevor sie das Gen getrennt werden, um das EMP zu werden. So, ein sehr starkes Position für sie. Normalerweise nicht so viel.
01:51:14 Ich weiß, dass sie gut sind, aber es geht darum, wo sie gehen. Aber das ist auch der Grund, warum Wraith wird so populär hier in dieser Lobby sein, und sehr wichtig, als wir unsere erste Exhibition des Spiel. Und ich weiß, es folgt mit einigen P.K. Schatz, auch.
01:51:34 Alonzi, he's not going to be able to fire his gun again. Ranches, PK, MK, going to be the last two on their feet at the moment. Alonzi's going to be res, though, and he'll be back on to his feet. SJP2 taking this fight inside of the building, and they're going to get a big chunk here. It's going to be Denzel, who actually finds two on the Pathfinder here. That is a clean wipe nom bomb in that fight. That's going to be a straight win for them. They didn't even get the chance to utilize a raid portal there to get into zone.
01:52:01 Sadly, for SJP2, they might be having to fight too thin and able to stay alive here, with FUL trying to push up. Again, this is a fight that was happening over on the western side of the map, and now they're fighting yet again, but actually, it could be a good distraction. They're trying to hold here, so the Mythic Bin can be picked up. Yeah, FUL have the positional advantage. Problem is, they don't have an armor advantage. You can see, they're all on blues. Now they're up to purples, though, at the purple time, as that Mythic Bin does get popped, and now this fight becomes...
01:52:28 Heavily in favor of FUL. Funny how these things can change on a dime.
01:52:34 And they do just retreat, mainly just to get the rewards from said Mythic Bin as well. Gold PK, etc. TakeFly do get eliminated in the meanwhile. Looks like FaZe were able to take them down on their journey. So FaZe continuing to dominate from the north. And we might get a similar situation where FaZe arrive from the north and they're pretty comfortable towards the late game yet again here. He's looking a lot busier though on that northern side. And it is on the southern. SJP2.
01:53:02 I'm going to hit the Survey Beacon now so they'll see the lay of the land and how they want to play. Alliance at the moment holding down the choke. Most of the traffic on the map overhead you can see at the moment is on that north-eastern side and the north. So you're looking at FaZe's position here. It's a tough one. I've got to be honest with you. They're going to have to work very hard here to get into a good game-winning position. Whereas Hakkis, he's found a Kraber. And let me tell you, in this man's hand, it makes the path a lot more comfortable if he can hit a couple of shots.
01:53:31 Faze did get a knock on to Cybercats, so that pushed them away, which means that Faze might have a straight 3v3 against Roadhouse, who just respawned. I think Blast just got respawned for Roadhouse, so Faze might have the advantage there, just the respawner not gonna have as many tools, perhaps, in his arsenal. But yeah, a lot of it's holding that western side, it's definitely gonna make things awkward for those teams, especially with the zone transitioning south. You've got the likes of Onik and O7 are gonna be at spot. Now SJP2 pushing up.
01:53:58 Yeah, this is an all-in fight here. Denzee misses the first shot and is going to cast Inkura on the Watson. Will be able to get the damage down. Kunidale left on what could be his own. In fact, it's going to be Kylar, who's last alive. It's a 1v1, I believe. Beanzee will win it. And he'll be able to drag his teammates back onto their feet. So a comfortable hold there. SJP2 all in on that push. Not going to be able to make it work. Cybercats.
01:54:23 Off the respawner, suddenly straight into this fight as well, seeing this as a potential chance to re-loop and also take a good position away from the team that was struggling coming through that fan. But Empire Gaming, all the meanwhile, they were holding this spot and they're going to be able to sit quite pretty with the base they've been able to build with these barricades. Refreshen the Newcastle as well just to get it energised. Cybercasts have been eliminated though, so they're not going to be able to make it towards this endgame.
01:54:51 Und ich bin nicht sicher, ob sie sind in dieser Körner sind. Oder ob sie in den Körner sind. Und ich habe den Körner benutzt, der nächste Rotate wird ziemlich schwer für sie. Sie sehen, die Portal ist weggegangen, um zu finden ein Weg zur Zone zu finden. Wir sehen, Kuro in der Feed-One wieder mit der 30-30 zu gehen. Während sie aus, Arktik benutzt die Portal, aber sie müssen zurückgehen. Und ja, ich glaube, sie sind nicht sicher.
01:55:17 They will be very much burned by the ring. Now I was saying Roadhouse had lost one and they got the respawn and FaZe might be able to take that fight. Well FaZe have taken the fight to them, but it looks like with Sinetic going down, they are reconsidering and looking to try and just bypass them via the Wraith here. But with both going down, that Wraith ball is not going to help. And if anyone can jump into the port, it doesn't look like it. It looks like they're going to be finished off here. So Roadhouse will get the better of FaZe in that situation. Zane is going to have to try and rat to some points to add to the KP as Hakkis.
01:55:46 Ja, Alliance will now look towards Roadhouse, Skynade vs Skynade. Hackers avoids his, doesn't connect with his own either.
01:56:14 So instead, it's just going to be an outright gunfight. But I know which gun I would rather have in my hands, that's for sure. But it looks like Alliance might be distracted here because there's teams joining them, and Roadhouse, they do the dipsy doodle, and they go the other way through the portal. I mean, Hackers is giving a great display of what you can do with Wraith in the current meta as well. You can take so much space, you can be so dominant, and when you add Overflow as an amp to your Wraith player as well, it means the ability to heal over time and get back into the fight is just so drastically reduced.
01:56:43 Und jetzt Allianz und Roadhouse sind durch den Hackett mit der Kramer-Kreiber-Kontrollen. Die meisten der Norden-Side sind in der Zone. Ronin ist jetzt in der Nähe. Ja, so viele Teams haben eine Do-Or-Die-Moment hier. Ronin ist jetzt in der Nähe. Ronin ist jetzt aus. Passion also geht es um 10-Squad. 10-Squads sind jetzt in der Nähe. Aber es ist so schwer, über die Newcastle Walls und Rampart Barricades. Max Straf ist jetzt der letzte Mal. Und es ist ein unglaublicher Halt von den Newcastle Wall. Aber jetzt gibt es noch ein Team.
01:57:12 Oh mein Gott! Endors, still alive! Undors will be, like you say, eliminated. Jesus, I mean Endors just held off three teams, again showing the strength of the Newcastle plus Rampart when you get into a position, but 07...
01:57:38 Oh nein! Oh nein!
01:58:06 Killing Hackus and having Effekt in Unlucky live is like John Wick's dog going down. The boys are straight in and said, nobody, you ain't gonna be able to take him down for free. And Alliance will be back up to a full three and they will have the northwest side to themselves now. The big fight that's gonna happen is 07 versus Zipline Mafia here, because 07 have to push in still.
01:58:35 Well, 07 wurde hier early. Sie hatten eine der besten Spots in Zone. Sie hatten eine gute Ring-Read mit dem Konsole, aber Kashera hat sich geholfen. Es ist ein 2v1. Als wir jetzt nennen, Kashera sollte sein können. Kashera sollte sein, aber es ist ein Allianz. Sie wollen jetzt ein paar KP zu finden, aber sie sind in Flank. Sie müssen sich aufhören, Onik zu gehen.
01:58:58 Ja, Onyck hat sich in das eine, und Sie sehen, Allianz steht direkt weg, Castlewall, Barrikade aus, und sie haben in voll Defense Mode, hier, als sie versuchen, zu survive. Ja, sie sind einfach hier. Unlucky. Wir haben gesehen, sie machen viele crazy Dinge, mit der Nogdown Shield zu machen. Aber nur, um Ony zu geben, mehr KP zu geben, Allianz zu geben. Als Empire Gaming in der Sido geht, auch. So, Onyck hat ein guter Spiel hier, aber hier kommt die Rappen von 07.
01:59:24 07 have spread themselves out so much here they have taken almost the majority of the zone just by spreading everyone from north to south and actually 07 in a pretty good position for this game now the zone is going to be transitioning a little bit further west away from them but because all the other teams are kind of stuck next to each other it just means that 07 can kind of watch on and depending on what abilities they have available to them bear in mind they do have the crypto so that emp could also play a big
01:59:53 Huge part here getting rid of some of these Watson fences. This could be an 07 win. Yeah, he's entirely here as well as FUL.
02:00:02 Und dann haben sie den Platz genommen. Und dann haben sie den Platz genommen.
02:00:34 So, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's, dann geht's.
02:00:59 Most of the space you can see on that map is completely controlled by 07. Onnick are trying to spray out this Newcastle war with a Sheila. And FUL might be thinking about, hey, can we just try and send it on to 07 here and get a couple KP, which opens the door for Onnick. I think FUL could really change how this game goes. Whoever they decide to fight, if they push one of these teams, might just win it for the other.
02:01:26 Oh, I like this!
02:01:53 Zidane hat sich in 07 gesetzt, und er hat sich in 07 gesetzt, nach einem sehr tollen Match 3 gesetzt. Nicht nur haben sie gesetzt, wenn sie das Ziel gesetzt haben, aber es war wie sie gesetzt haben, um das Spiel zu Ende des Spiel. Und du sagst, wie sie in Tyler gebracht hat, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte, was er machte.
02:02:20 Ja, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
02:02:31 Kp to a win. It's a game where we're looking at it and 07 maybe a few weeks ago if they win a game you got three or four Kp. This time it's seven and Tyler is making that difference. You saw like you say the space he was taking the couple of kills he was able to pick up and just the space that they commanded off the back of it means 19 points for them. Onik by the way with 19 themselves with the 10 Kp but impressive stuff all around from those two. And again it's a similar situation for 07 you know they kind of need to be in the
02:02:59 Ich glaube, es ist auch ein Team, wenn wir die Region Finals gewinnen, wenn wir die Region Finals gewinnen können.
02:03:21 Ja, das ist richtig.
02:03:47 Block is not disappointed. I've really enjoyed watching 07 come together. I think you hit the nail on the head with Tyler. He is that guy that they've been hoping to give them that spark into the next level. And certainly that's a great sign of things to come.
Halbzeit-Analyse und APAC North Überblick
02:04:00
02:04:00 Just to be aware, when you consider FaZe Clan keeping that lead, Alliance had a chance to jump up and try to close the gap, but they both tied with eight points in that final game on E-District, which says two things. FaZe is still coming to play. Alliance still there and present, but also that third game a little bit wonky for two of our top teams, which tends to happen before we switch maps. So really interested in how they're going to tackle Storm Point. Expect to see some map changes coming up.
02:04:30 very soon and obviously some legend changes to go with that but guys it's a halftime which means that we have to take a little bit of a break and catch everybody up not just on the action that's happened here but all across the ALGS that's why we introduce this segment what you might have missed if you caught up with us yesterday for this segment we
02:04:50 brought you the information from our previous match days in APAC South. And now it's time to talk about APAC North, guys, to let people know what's been happening on the other side of APAC. Let's get it going here with Unlimited starting off hot for that APAC North double header. It was a win.
02:05:09 In Map 2, on Match Day 6, Yalarmin led that Lobby, getting 23 kills of the Team's 36. That is a massive day, but just to compare what we saw in APAC South with Asia, 34 kills in a single Match Day. So APAC bringing in some incredible kills here. The tie went into Map 6, seeking big points to win the day, but finished a single point behind Unlimited. So tie...
02:05:36 Unfortunately, not being able to surpass them with 65 points, despite winning the map to finish second in the first match of the Doubleheader. Unlimit, they win Match Day 6, continue to chase after first place in the 8-back-door standings, and Interforce 36, a little bit of an uncharacteristic, lackluster day, finishing 15 and collecting only five standings points and being overtaken by Unlimit. So really, it was all Unlimit, but Dan, talk to us about Match Day 7.
02:06:05 Well, Match 37 was dominated by Soten. They cleared the pack with 95 points and 65 kills, averaging nearly 3,500 damage a map. And they cut their way through the field with three map victories. Like, an insane performance from them. We did see DI fight hard for their second place finish, though. They had a huge effort.
02:06:25 von 7, 6, 8, he netted 14 kills, 10 revives to keep the squad in the fight. So a very impressive performance from them as well. And, you know, we've seen this quite a lot with DI and Soten both showing up when they need to. And APAC North has definitely demonstrated that it's a region to be keeping an eye on when it comes to international competition with the way they've been playing. As I said, the bands have been a little bit different over in APAC North with, for example, Crypto going in Game 3.
02:06:52 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
02:07:13 I can't wait to see what happens, because this region, as I said, it never disappoints. It always brings a surprise package through, and they just do things a little bit differently over there. It's such a great clash of regions and styles. You see a lot of Mad Maggie there. It's towards the end, of course, but...
02:07:30 They're much more willing to experiment in certain ways. Certain characters that we see trickle over here in the Americas become full-fledged must-have picks over in APAC North or sometimes APAC South weapons that we saw. I remember when we were looking at Reject Guinity and them taking Los Angeles a year ago to kick off year four. They were using a ton of Triple Take. A lot of people weren't using the Triple Take at that time. That's the beauty.
ALGS Split Ende, Red Bull Legends Inn und Challenger Circuit
02:07:56
02:07:56 This set up as we start to head towards the big, the big moment in Sapporo, which again, guys, if you don't know, we're not just going to this January, but next January as well. A two year deal with the Daiwa house premise dome in Sapporo. So such an exciting moment for these players and obviously trying to make it to every single one. For those who are trying to make it into this mix, though, you might be looking at this gameplay and saying these players aren't that good.
02:08:25 If that's you, I'm surprised. I mean, honestly, that's a pretty high-level thought of yourself. But if you do think that way, you're probably pretty good. And that means that you should register for the Challenger Circuit. Put your money where your mouth is. It closes October 1st, so you only have a few more days before we kick off the spookiest month of the year. And of course, that plays on October 4th through 6th.
02:08:49 The chance is now. Go ahead, register for the Challenger Circuit. Battlefly.com slash ALGS. All right, another really cool thing that I wanted to bring up to you guys was that we have some more competitions coming up before Sapporo. We have the ALGS split ending on October 12th with our regional finals. You'll see all three of us there for that show to close out split two. But after that, we'll have a little bit of a break, the holidays, and then lead into kicking off December with...
02:09:17 Yet again, the Red Bull Legends Inn. It's going to be a fun one in Chicago. I think we might have something on tape for it. So take a look. If you haven't seen it before, it's something you don't want to miss.
02:09:47 It's Timmy's Legendary Lather. The soap that brings champions to life.
02:10:28 From Check-In to Champion Chicago on December 5th, Red Bull Legends Inn. Super excited. Also, shout out, that is my mom's birthday and a couple of my very good friends' birthdays as well. December 5th somehow has a lot going on for me, and I'll be tuning in to this one in Chicago, Illinois, to the Godfrey Hotel, where 19 teams will compete live in an Apex Legends Duos Tournament.
02:10:50 für ein $25,000 prize pool. Wenn du und dein Duo haben was es für dich gegen Apex Pros zu spielen, sind jetzt auf w.battlefly.com slash RedBullLegendsInnen zu spielen in den Online Qualifiers an October 25th und 26th, wo zwei Duos werden die Möglichkeit gewinnen, live in person zu spielen, an der Godfrey Hotel in Chicago. Man, es muss 18 plus zu abonnieren. Mehr info kann auf w.redbull.com slash LegendsInnen.
02:11:19 That is really exciting, guys. Honestly, before I let you go, Mark, any chance you might be trying to find a duo? I mean, I can see you and Vicky maybe going at it. Yeah, him and Vicky, that sounds like a great duo. I have to be very careful of how I answer that question. I don't want to offend anyone that I play ranked with currently, because there's a group, right? And I don't... You and Jumbo are going to take it on?
02:11:49 He's Monsters now. He's Monsters now. He did it. Yeah, I love it. Playing with Preds helps. Sorry, Kyrie. Listen, we'll let Mark think about his duo for that. I'd love to see somebody I know competing in that. What a fun opportunity it would be. Might even get me thinking about Chicago. I don't know, guys. I'm definitely going to be tuning in. Hopefully you are as well. Remember, on the December 5th.
02:12:12 It's going to be a blast. Sign up and get your chance to play. Mark, we're going to send you out a little bit of a break. Enjoy. And we will catch up with you in just a little bit. Dan, I think we have some maps to break down. I know we have a couple of looks at now new POIs. It's World's Edge that were.
02:12:32 Und ich denke, das wird sich ein bisschen verändern. Wir haben nicht zu sehen, World's Edge zu sehen, von einem Matchday zu sehen. So für die Fans, die wir auf jeden Fall sehen haben, das wird ein bisschen refresher. Ich finde, ich finde, die Tried-and-True-Pro-League-Map macht mich, macht mich einfach zu fühlen. Ja, du kannst sehen, wie viele Teams prioritized World's Edge. Ich habe schon gesagt, wenn wir die E-District Draft gesehen haben, dass wir die ersten 8 Teams alle picking World's Edge, weil...
02:12:59 Es gibt einige Probleme zu spielen auf diesem Spiel. Sie wissen es, wir wissen es, alle anderen wissen es. Also haben wir so viele Teams gesehen. Aber dann haben wir 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Alle wissen es. Ja, ihr müsst wirklich diese große Probleme geben. Es gibt ein paar Teams, die sich ein bisschen kicken, nach E-District vielleicht nicht auf die POIs haben. Aber jetzt haben wir es all über hier.
02:13:27 für World's Edge. Und das kann auch die Diskussion ein bisschen nach Legend Selektion als auch, weil wir sehen verschiedene Legends kommen in der Fray, wenn es kommt zu World's Edge und die Chance für vielleicht ein paar Dinge zu sehen. Aber wir haben noch Newcastle, es hat noch nicht geplant, so wir werden noch ein paar Newcastle sehen. Und wir haben gesehen, in Amerika, das ist wo Newcastle usually wird geplant, aber nicht das gleiche kann für EMEA.
02:13:53 Sometimes it can stay alive at this point and we often see Watson ban at this stage.
World's Edge Strategien und Legend Picks
02:13:59
02:13:59 Well, Watson's fantastic in general. I think she's even better on World's Edge. One of the things that her character does, and it makes it difficult to balance characters like this when their kit is just what you need to do in general to win a game, which is hold a building, hold space, make sure nobody takes your space, and give you room to take others' space. And that's exactly what Watson does in general. So when you have a ton of buildings, when you have zones that end in a lot of situations where there are trucks or carts or buildings that she can fence up, that the generator works for.
02:14:29 So I think Watson was built.
02:14:37 to succeed here. And so you might see more a shift that way. I'm curious though, Dan, to see, do we see more of a counter composition brought up here in World's Edge? People will be safer in their picks of things like maybe Newcastle, maybe Gibraltar, but will that also encourage teams like Citadel, which we've already seen, to lean heavier into things like Sears or other teams to pick up Maggie's to try to go ahead and go against that? Yeah, definitely going to see more of it coming into the fray.
02:15:05 Das ist etwas, das Marc hat auch. Es ist, dass es wie Impactful diese Compositions kann sein. Mainly wenn Newcastle ist, zu sagen. Weil Newcastle ist noch ein bisschen schwierig zu tun. Even wenn man die Maggi hat. Newcastle ist so strong. Even mit den Tools zu versuchen, ihn zu versuchen, ihn zu versuchen, ihn zu versuchen, den Shield zu versuchen. Newcastle ist noch so gut. Especially wenn man einen Accelerator anbord und jemand ist noch zu kommen, schieb nach schieb. Droppen Newcastle wall.
02:15:35 We are into match 4 and obviously that means that we've got another selection of bands as well as I just go across and see if I can get that up on my screen, which I can't. Okay, so match 4 we are going to have band. Ash is actually going to be taken away here. That is a bit of a surprise for me. 14 Ashes, 10 Watsons, 10 Newcastle.
02:15:58 Obviously, with Wraith disappearing in Match 3, you're always going to have a little bit more Ash coming into the equation, but maybe not that much I was expecting. Yeah, I'm surprised too, because again, I think Stormpoint, I think...
02:16:10 E-District. And, you know, your thoughts too, I want to hear. It just feels like those are the places you get stuck a little more if you don't have the extreme mobility that Ash can provide or that Alter or that Wraith can provide. I feel like the fact that Ash is so prevalent here in World's Edge, this is one of the maps that I think you could do well without Ash in a little bit more of a stable comp and not be so caught out because the spots to, you know, to portal from.
02:16:37 They're less available on this map, in my opinion. So I'm very curious to see how this Ashe plays out for all of these teams. Also very surprised that yet again, there has not been a single Gibraltar picked up. Again, we know that's a Stormpoint-heavy pick, but it just feels like EMEA has the way that they want to play this right now, and they're sticking to it.
02:16:58 I think it goes to show that not everyone is dead set on Watson either. I think that this, because we've seen a fair bit of crypto, some people are kind of leading away from Watson. And this is what the Legend Bands is all about, is people trying to work out how they can avoid the bans and keep a legend for longer. And because we've got Rampart and Watson splitting up, it means that it allows Ash to come through as the main legend and get banned here. Now, Nom, I've already been able to take a fight. You can see that...
02:17:23 Already a kill going in their favor, Feudor going down, and early scraps happening. As the zone is going to be transitioning to the southwest side of the map, we are going to see a lot of people committing very fast down towards it. Yeah, this is going to be a big one as well. The team's still up top. Citadel Gaming and Alliance, interestingly enough. Pay attention to that. Citadel loving to run at teams earlier on in E-District. Running to a team against, like, Alliance. We'll see if they take that fight or if they...
02:17:49 Wir versuchen uns zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen, um sich zu holen.
02:18:16 Ja, und ich denke, dass sie vielleicht ein bisschen zurückkehren können jetzt. Man muss sich einfach durch den Ehrlich-Fighten einfach mal machen, aber dann, wenn das passiert, dann, wenn das passiert, dann... Ich weiß, dass es nicht wirklich für Fights ist. Ich weiß, dass es einige Teams da sind, wenn man diese Komponenten sieht, natürlich, du könntest, aber ich glaube, dass diese Komponenten sind, aber ich glaube, dass diese Komponenten sind, dass sie in diesem Late-Gameen finden können. Es ist sehr schwierig zu spielen, ohne dass du den richtigen Komponenten hast, ohne dass du den richtigen Komponenten hast.
Spielgeschehen und Teamstrategien auf World's Edge
02:18:44
02:18:44 They didn't see it coming, SPS. Oh my gosh, got a little surprise there. This should be a kill, Mags knows. It should be Zayn with another grenade finds another player on SPS. And that should be it. Really nice surprise hold. SPS didn't know what they were going into. They actually thought they were stopping a fight. They ran right into one. And FaZe Clan picks up even more KP with 51 points starting the full game.
02:19:12 Ja, das ist ein Ruff-Ambusch, SPS würde ich gerne gerne haben, wenn sie spielen Sparrow sind und sie nicht mehr zu bekommen haben. Vielleicht ist es eine Sparrow-Player, und dann ist es, was? Ich meine, warum nicht du ein Dart, um 20 Meter in die Luft zu haben, und vielleicht sehen sie, ob sie es für uns sind. Aber ja, das ist ein schwerer Punkt in Phasen. Ich bin sicher, dass sie sich gigglingen zu sichern über das.
02:19:34 Well, it's just something to put in the back pocket. Like, hey, when we pass this choke, people are going to hide up there, throw a dart, make sure no one's hiding. Those are the little things that somebody who doesn't have to worry about the big picture things probably going to be able to say. But when you're worried about just getting involved, SPS, towards the end of this lobby, obviously 18th place, trying to just get some points on the board, they're probably thinking a little bit more big picture, which unfortunately adds to the difficulty of solving those little problems because some things like that slip.
02:20:03 Ihr mind as we head over with Ronin trying to break some doors here on the g7 scout through a couple of tethers from me clutch Nate on the Maggie which we've seen used to I think
02:20:18 Ich habe noch ein wenig Spaß gemacht. Ich habe noch nicht gesehen, dass ich mich wirklich über Maggi gefühlt habe, aber es ist sicherlich ein Charakter, der sich in dieser Meta befindet, in mehr Weise, als die Metas vorhin. Es ist immer gut zu sehen, dass das Refresh happen, Dan. Und das ist auch ein guter Sign, dass Teams zu experimentieren, auch wenn es nicht alles geht. Es ist ein paar kleine Stückchen zu sagen, dass das vielleicht ein bisschen besser funktioniert. Ja, wir haben nur ein paar Maggies gesehen, dass die Fray, aber das ist nur weil...
02:20:46 Wie gesagt, es ist kein Geburtstag, wir sind nicht in Stormpoint, also Maggi ist nicht so wichtig, aber es spielt eine wichtige Rolle, und kann sehr wichtig sein für die Teams, die ein bisschen mehr agressiv sind. Sadly, für die Likes von Killer Whales, die immer noch nie spielen Maggi, haben sie sich auf dem Thermal gespielt, und das ist nicht wirklich wo du wirst, mit dem Composition. Du wirst versuchen, sich in und auf den Thermal zu bewegen, sondern auf dem Topf. Aber wir sehen uns ob sie können, wenn sie es funktioniert, von der Position sie sich in finden.
02:21:15 Jetzt haben wir alle diese Teams auf der Southeastern Seite zu bekommen, von Survey Beacons, von Ring Consoles und Legion Gaming. Wir haben jetzt das Info, dass sie jetzt weiter nach dem Southeastern. Ronin hat escaped, SPS ist es, aber auch wenn Sie durch diese Fights sind, Sie haben Cybercats und Allianz über den Harvester auf dem Moment. So es wird ein vieles Konflikt auf dem East sein.
02:21:35 Allianz knows Cybercats have to move, maybe hoping if they play this patiently, Legion Gaming, SPS, Ronin will take Cybercats' attention. They could show up a little bit late to that party, but you could see, you could hear actually and visually see Allianz firing a little bit of that Spitfire. If I had to bet, I'd say that's Hakis who's firing that weapon. Recently in his little tier list that he posted, it's about 10 minutes long, pretty short tier list.
02:21:58 Talked about that Paintball Spitfire being, in his eyes, pretty much toe-for-toe, one of the best weapons that he could use if he's not gonna go G7 Scout. 30-30 or PK, and speaking of that, oh, 30-30 answers right on to Calamity to cause some more chaos, and Blooming Flower is in trouble here.
02:22:20 Little bit of aggression to take the bridge. And you just need to show a lot more of it if you want to keep transitioning towards Zone. Because even once you get over this bridge, you're still going to be on the other side of the mountain, not on the thermal side. So where we saw Faye's ambush a little bit earlier, those kind of positions alongside where Empire are holding at the train track, it's going to be such a tough ass to try and actually get in.
02:22:44 Dan, look at this BS. I don't think the BS is going to be able to get over either. Yeah, I mean, but this team, we saw it. It looked like they were fully wiped. We didn't really see at the end what happened to the remaining player, but they've done a good job. It was either God of War or QPMS. I think it was God of War. They got the other two back up on Blues. They've got a chance. Alliance still playing pretty patiently there. Hockey's with the Spitfire and the PK. Hops away from the G7, as we had mentioned.
02:23:12 Staying true to his word. And on the Pathfinder. So they're gonna have some heights. Sends in Unlucky who just narrowly doesn't see the player in there. Hides behind a car, takes a little bit of damage. Gonna shield Battery up for safety. But inside the Exhibit of Effect.
02:23:28 Alliant's saying, we believe in the Seer in this match, and one of the only Seers to come out here in this entire lobby of 20 teams. There's only one other Seer, and it belongs to Citadel Gaming. We've been playing it for the last four games. Another reason why we're not seeing the ban coming out for the likes of Watson or Newcastle is because of the amount of Pathfinders, too. So you've got 14 Ashes, but you've got six Pathfinders coming into the equation. So it's just people like...
02:23:56 Diverting away from the norm, which just changes those bands ever so slightly. So we'll have to see whether the Pathfinder can really help out. But again, that just leads into the fact that Alliance can play this exact same composition going into the next game by throwing a little bit of a curveball in their selection. And at the moment they're just holding Harvester, but they do need to be a little bit worried about the teams around them because they might have to take a direct fight against Citadel Gaming. And if they don't...
02:24:21 Cybercats might be able to push through. So this is why we're seeing Alliance take a different approach here. They don't want to actually go face on against a team when they're being watched over by another squad. And because they're running this year as well, Pathfinder giving them access to those beacons to be able to understand where the zone is pulling. Probably why opted for that over the Ashe, which is, uh, I think something that they're skilled enough to navigate as well. Also, you look at what can give our team high ground. Pathfinder Ashe both competing with that. Ronan, though.
02:24:50 Trying to compete here with this fight. A little bit of damage from the Maggi drill from Nate. He knows that pushes her, or his opponent, out a ways. And Nate's just gonna give up on this one. Knows it's a pretty tough fight. And for all people who have started that fight, it's SBS, who have already been in a tough position. And they're gonna find themselves in an even tougher one here. A couple of shots from Unlucky. Moves forward with the shield, doing two things at once. No problem for him, as he's gonna heal.
02:25:15 und ein bisschen mehr Platz für Allianz'Effekt und Hockies zu folgen. SPS ist noch nicht so gut, es ist noch nicht so weit. Es ist Tomuchi, jetzt wieder, er hat sich gemacht, aber das könnte sein. Aber das könnte sein, der SPS-Effekt ist, wenn er zurück in den Nade ist. Allianz ist noch zu clean, Ronan, als auch.
02:25:39 So two stragglers wiped out of the lobby and now we're down to 17. But you're seeing the difficulty for a lot of these teams who are trying to get into Thermal late. They're just being peppered by scouts. And maybe even a couple of 30-30s have been picked up as well. Legion Gaming trying to force their way in. And I think that we will actually be able to find a spot here. But sadly, you say it's no man left behind. But one will be left behind. Wasn't able to make that same journey. So now Legion Gaming is going to have to try and play this one out as a two.
02:26:08 I don't know if I was seeing the future saying Blooming Flower was in trouble because he wasn't when I actually said that, but now he certainly is. Couldn't cross the lava. I don't blame you. I couldn't cross the lava either. I mean, the lava near me, I'm turning the other direction. Blooming Flower, maybe they'll have a chance to get a mobile response beacon and get him back in. But when you talk about what the game being played over there looks like, it's completely different from the game Alliance and Citadel have been playing. You have to keep an eye on that team that is...
02:26:34 Wir haben auch die anderen Seer gesehen, die sind außerhalb der Zone und eigentlich kommen in auf ein ganz guter Platz. Sie haben mit 07, die sie sehen, aber auch Allianz, die haben gesagt, was wir jetzt machen? Wir sind weit zu Harvester. Es gibt bereits eine Tonne von Teams in Thermal. Let's just go nach der Outskirts und sehen was wir können. Und sie haben bereits zwei Teams, die sie können aussehen. Citadel Gaming, die andere Team haben, aber sie müssen mit 07, die sind sehr vorbereitet für das Push von der Seite.
02:27:02 Yeah, this zone shift has only just become apparent to a lot of these teams is going to be a tough one. Everyone who's on the southern side or the southeast side, this is where you need that Ashe. You know, you've got 14 Ashes in the lobby, so there are teams that are going to be able to portal into safety, but I tell you what, talking about safety, Citadel are everything but at the moment. Every bit of utility, every single gun seems to be firing their way, and they just can't seem to catch a break right now. That's a tough spot to be in. I feel like maybe...
02:27:31 Where Remix Powers is, is where they should have all been holding up. There might be a spot from that top building that can pressure that with a fence, but without the Maggie, they really are safe. And that's to see if they had a mobile respawn beacon on there to reset. Alliance have found their way into the zone. We said they've been playing a different game, but now that different game collides with the game of the players who are already here sitting in wait, knowing a team like Alliance might be trying to join the party. Let's listen in and see how they do.
02:28:00 Ja, ja, ja, ja!
02:28:20 We need to walk in low ground right side of the fight. We need to walk in low ground right side of the fight. We need to walk in low ground right side of the fight. They're dying there where you ping. They're dying there where you ping. Fuck him in the back. Come to me, I'm gonna sip. Go hide, go hide, go hide!
02:28:52 Ich bin auf hier in 40 Sekunden. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier. Ich bin auf hier.
02:29:23 Off a call outside of Hockies. I think it was Unlucky saying go high. Do not make it, but do not tell me Effect is going to 1v3 these squads. Gets the CRQ, but it's not enough to silence the bullets that fire back at him in Alliance.
02:29:39 We said they were playing two games. We see which one was superior. Getting here early made the difference. Even with the mobile respawn beacon found, Dan, weren't able to find their footing into this. Phaseplan, the only team that so far challenged up on top, where 07 had been sitting, now finding a way to get the building on the lower ground and take out Passions to secure their spot, not necessarily in zone, but at least for now, to find a little bit of stability.
02:30:08 Also, double R99, it might have been a different fight for effect there, but having to whip out the scout suddenly became a difficult situation. Now, Killer Whale, as I mentioned them earlier, they found Top of Thermal, and they don't necessarily have the comp that you want in this position, because you have very little defensively, but thankfully, the zone has played into them perfectly, where they've just been able to reside here the whole time. They do have the ash portal to use a little bit later if they need it, but they've just been able to pepper people up.
02:30:36 von oben mit der Scout. Und tatsächlich, sie könnte ein paar gute Punkte bekommen hier, weil die Zone weitergeht. So all die Leute, die auf der Norden Seite waren, die 07-FUL waren, die wirklich guter Spot waren, wenn sie auf die Hälfte gehen, jetzt haben sie jetzt auf die Lava zu gehen, und vielleicht finden sich nicht in die Top 5 zu finden. Ich meine, Dan, das ist ein guter Punkt. Wenn du auf die Map hast, dann auf die Hälfte gehen und dann auf die Hälfte gehen und dann auf die Hälfte.
02:31:03 down towards the bottom half. This is really tricky. Almost feels like if you're on the side of 07, this is a bit of a sick joke. But so did Algami. They've been coming from that side as well. Always just keep tabs on them. They've been running at this lobby pretty consistently, but have been pretty stable this time around. And there goes one of the leaders. FaZe Clan, the first place team, out for the count. And you can see Nasky.
02:31:29 So even though Citadel looked like they were in a dismal position earlier, the zone shift really helped them out because they had an easier transition from their position previously.
02:31:57 Und jetzt Citadel wird wieder zurückgekommen, aber jetzt sind wir zu 5-Squads. Kilaueu ist immer noch auf Thermal, unter dem ist Roadhouse, die sind sehr ruhig, aber die Zone geht einfach nur ein bisschen weiter. Aber die Zone geht einfach nur ein bisschen weiter nach wie Roadhouse ist. Ich hätte Roadhouse oder Kilaueu zu gewinnen, denn ich glaube, NOM, Legion und Citadel sind alle in so eine schwierige Situation, zu gehen über die Lava. Even wenn man über die Bridge geht, wird man über die anderen Team sein.
02:32:24 Expect a Roadhouse or a Killer Whales win here unless we see something magnificent from one of these other three squads.
02:32:32 Nom here on the low ground. Doing a really good job of at least applying some pressure. There's not much you can do in this type of engagement. Nobody's gonna go down, nobody's gonna give up their spot, even if you get shot. The only teams really to pay attention to is maybe Citadel Gaming or Legion Gaming, who might try to take advantage of that. So instead of looking up, I feel like Nom doing the right thing here. Looking to the right, making sure that they stay safe. And there it is, the first move.
02:32:58 However, wir haben...
02:33:22 The ability for Killer Whales to drop a little bit of something else. Having Bangalore available to them, they are going to have the spokes as well to give them some coverage here. And mainly it's going to be what Citadel Gaming do alongside Nom. They can really influence this fight, but Nom have already lost one. Citadel also struggling to get across that lava. So Killer Whales, they're just raining hell from above here. Oh, that's huge, man. I mean, look at this. They started off with just a few kills. Now they've at least got 11.
02:33:48 Das ist ein MASSIVE Spiel für sie.
02:34:17 Und sie finden ihre Prey!
02:34:44 Obstacles that were being set up by other teams as they were transitioning in, but it also was just giving small tags to add damage to it as well. And they're going to be delighted because that's a huge game for them. Massive game for them. They needed that. And that puts them in the conversation of taking the match day. I mean, they're in top five.
02:34:58 In einem anderen Spiel wie das, kann man wirklich gut funktionieren. Und ich liebe das, wie sie eine gute Situation navigated haben. Das ist eine der Dinge, die wir immer sehen können. Kannst du, wenn du den richtigen Platz hast, dein Top 3, dein Top 2 gewinnen? Und sie haben sogar mehr als das gemacht. Sie kamen mit 19 killpoints. 31 Punkte in der Spiel. Die Single-HIGHEST-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME-GAME
02:35:27 A little bit of an unorthodox composition, Dan. The Zone worked out perfectly for them. The fact that it pulled away from the teams that were on the south so they had to kind of run towards the center of Thermal and that allowed them to just pepper any arriving teams and then it pulled back.
02:35:46 Man, das ist ein Team, das wir sehen, haben diese Explosive Days, nicht mehr zu kämpfen.
02:36:13 Und ich liebe das, dass das sie eigentlich einen Wert haben. Ich liebe es auch, mit einem Stattik-Meta, etwas Staccato zu breiten, die Konsistenz-Metronomik-Passe zu sehen. Allianz hat es, Citadel Gaming hat es, jetzt Killer Whales hat es. All drei dieser Teams sind sicherlich mehr so als die meisten. Two mehr games left, zu sehen, ob Killer Whales kann den unglaublichen Comeback machen, ob Faze kann auf den Top-Spot halten, oder ob Allianz will yet again find themselves...
02:36:42 at the top of Europe all on the other side of the screen
02:36:55 Das ist der Fall. Der Fall ist der Fall. Der Fall ist der Fall. Der Fall ist der Fall.

02:39:00 is the official energy drink of the apex legends global series
02:39:13 Das war nicht nur ein Wien, Dan. Das war ein bisschen wie ein Lied in der Sand. Das war eine huge, huge performance von dem.
02:39:32 Ja, unglaubliche Anzahl von Kills, und als ich vor dem Ende des Spiels gesagt habe, alles einfach in die Hand und ihre Position zu spielen. Manchmal sitzen auf dem Thermal kann es zu deinem Detriment sein, aber mit dem Zonen des Zones, die von South-North-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South
02:39:57 They committed at the right time as well, dropping off height and taking the fight successfully together to be able to shut down the teams below them. Yeah, pretty simple job for them in the end there, you see. Avoiding the Seer queues as well, which is very important in this final moment. That tether just caused a few problems as well. Zuni did what he could to try and pull off the miracle play, but the numbers were just too much for them to overcome. Killer Whales with the win in game number four, which sets us up beautifully now for two more games on World's Edge. And I feel like today's got some more twists.
02:40:25 in it Dan, four different winners across four different games and I've got the feeling we might be repeating that with game number five coming up. Yeah, I mean if we were to see Killer Whales have a game like that again suddenly they find themselves in first place and that would be like such bad news for the likes of FaZe Clan who have looked so consistent, so impressive so far today but that can all be whipped away from you if you don't find a good matches five or six but...
02:40:47 I'm expecting FaZe to be able to bounce back a little bit here. Obviously, it was a rough zone for them trying to transition all the way from south after their ambush, but at least they are able to move on here and still be first place. You'll have to see where the zone goes in game number five as well to see if it helps out some of those teams who are maybe in the chasing pack or maybe some of those who are still at the top of the leaderboards as well. Also want to give a little mention, it almost happened. The effect, almost 1v3, would have been something we've been talking about for quite some time and something that...
02:41:15 Only a play like that even gets close to pulling off.
02:41:18 Ja, ich glaube, ich habe es gesagt, wenn er zwei R9s hat, könnte es eine andere Geschichte sein, aber zu haben, dass die Scout nicht immer gut ist. Aber, alas, Allianz nicht able zu halten, sogar nach der EFFECT kam aus der Skies. Jetzt, Ashe wird es geblieben, um in Match 5 zu sein. Das ist etwas, was wir sehen so far in Scrim. So, es vielleicht verändert sich das, wie es in Matches 5 und 6 ist, weil wir noch immer noch haben, wir haben Newcastle. Wir haben, indeed. Und jetzt sind wir die Rotation.
Match 5: Legend Bans und Skyhook Zone
02:41:48
02:41:48 Was ist die nächste Legend?
02:42:12 Well here we go match five and a chance for someone maybe to do exactly what the killer whales have just done they went from zeros to heroes the fact that they were able to bomb three to top five with one single game really was quite spectacular so can anyone else do the same now in terms of legend selection well when you've lost wraith when you've lost altar when you lost to ash would you turn to well good old-fashioned pathfinder we're gonna see pathfinder band in this game 16 pathfinders so you can
02:42:42 Und das ist jetzt wieder der Legend-Ban, weil es eine ganz andere Band gibt, und es verändert sich alles für die ganze Zeit, und es verändert sich alles für die gesamte Serie. Weil wir jetzt Ash verloren haben, wo sie eigentlich wäre, heute wird sie hier sein, aber jetzt alle haben sie zu verabschieden, denn er ist eine der letzte Mobility-Legend zu haben. Also, ich werde dir das Survey-Beacon-Informationen geben, so Pathfinder für die zwei Rollen, aber es ist interessant zu sehen, wenn wir das letzte Mal sehen?
02:43:11 A Pathfinder ban? Just full stop. I can't remember one in recent memory. I'm sure that people will correct me if I'm wrong. But Pathfinder is certainly back to the fore here to, like you say, fulfill those two roles of Survey Beacons and that rotational character. But rotational character is maybe not going to be particularly needed here as we are going to Skyhook for this zone. Lots of places to play. My favorite zone, Dan.
02:43:36 Und es setzt uns auf absolut perfekt für ein Slow Burner hier, bevor ein absoluter crazy Endgame, das wir lieben sehen. Ich bin in der Skyhook Zone.
02:43:44 mit 16 Pathfinders in der Lobby. Yes, please sign me up. There's going to be zip mayhem as everyone moving from building to building here trying to get the best spot. And you've also got Citadel and Alliance who are dropping up towards Trials and Skyhook. We're going to be pretty happy about that zone, but they may not even know it yet because I don't think either of them would have had a chance to hit Rincon. So there are some survey beacons for them to get info from a little bit later on, but...
02:44:07 Ich denke, sie werden einfach nur die Info von anderen. Sie sehen, Nomm sind bereits da, Dorsen machen ihren Weg. 07 werden sie von den Norden gehen, Legion Gaming nicht so weit entfernt, also die Early Movers starten zu kommen. Interessant für Citadel Gaming. Ich bin sicher, dass nicht eine Konsole werden können, oder würde ich sagen, in Skyhook haben. Es gab zwei Survey Beacons, aber ich habe nicht gesehen, so sie defaulten zu Top Trials.
02:44:32 Vorwinter Top Trials, we talk about quite a lot on these Skyhawk zones. Might be good for some KP, but finding your way in late when that zone does pull away that we can see it's going to do on Ring Console puts you in a really, really tough position to rotate in later. So a little bit of an unfortunate one for Citadel Gaming. We'll have to see how they play out and if they can adapt to that zone. We'll take a look at Skyhawk though as the teams do start to arrive, some of them through the sky and some of them on foot.
02:44:59 So even though we've got 16 Pathfinders, there are a lot of differences across compositions, by the way. People just trying something a little bit else. This is where Pathfinder comes into full effect here, though, being able to get from building to building. 12 Newcastles, 9 Watts and 7 Ramparts, 5 Bangs, got Cryptos, Maggies, Sparrows and Seers. So plenty to play with, plenty to think about as well in these final circles as Blast gets blasted.
02:45:25 Aber ich denke, Rampart wird eine große Rolle spielen in dieser Final Zone, weil Sheila in generell ist, dass es sich umgekehrt gegen alle die Newcastles in der Lobby ist. Das Interessante ist, dass es die Rolle des Ring-Console Characters ist, wenn man das Ziel ist, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben, um das Ziel zu geben.
02:45:53 Everyone knows this is a Skyhook Zone, even off of Zone 1, I would suggest, so...
02:45:59 Es ist einfach so, wenn wir uns hier ansehen, dass es ein Skyhook-Zone wäre, vielleicht wäre es kein Konsole zu spielen. Aber das ist einfach nicht passiert, aber das ist einfach nicht passiert. Es ist einfach das 1 in die Million, das man einfach nicht bett. Das ist einfach nicht passiert. Es ist immer die Niche Situation, nicht wahr? Phase Time, 1st place in der Moment, 54 Punkte, aber die Team ist jetzt zu fangen, weil sie haben eine ziemlich early Exit in den letzten Spiel. Aber für dieses Spiel, sie werden zu spielen ein bisschen weit nach Zonen, weil...
02:46:28 They sadly are dropping down towards the southern side of the map. So, they are being shadowed at the moment by Killer Whales, and that would be an interesting fight if it did happen, because Killer Whales have been playing a pretty aggressive comp, although it does look like they've shifted somewhat as they've got more points, and maybe they've realised that actually they do have a chance, so they're not playing as aggressive. It looks like Killer Whales have gone for Pathfinder Newcastle Bangalore. I was just about to say, FaZe might be out about to pinch a couple of teams here. Cybercastle are running away.
02:46:56 Ja, das ist perfekt für Phase-Time.
02:47:24 und nach Skyhook. Niemand sollte in den Weg gehen, selbst wenn sie versuchen, den Team zu halten.
02:47:31 Considering the comp they're playing, the fact that you've got the Watson, I imagine they probably want to get towards Zone and see if they can find a position to work with here off the Pathfinder Zips. And they can use the Crypto to try and work out which buildings are available as well. So it might work out alright for FaZe, even though they're going to be arriving late. And remember, they can hit Ring Console for Zone 3 information as well, just to get a better spot in Skyhook. SPS find a spot. Lots of them available, of course, here on the eastern side of Bar.
02:48:01 Pathfind up. Going for that Evo, but might pay for it. Looking good. Legion Gaming also not listening to good now. Two are dead. Bloomyflower, the last one alive. Got the RE, but peaking with the RE versus those Peacekeepers and two players is not going to get the job done. Legion Gaming will be eliminated as Empire Gaming will win that fight. But they're going to have to find a way to get life and back in this game. They do have to MOBI by the sounds of it. And they've got to be careful of a third party moving in and seeing that MOBI be in here.
02:48:28 Yeah, does anyone take the bait here? I don't think anyone will now try and commit to it. Well, Zone 3 information is not really going to give you anything more than you previously had. So even though FaZe were able to potentially hit it on their way, it's nothing new to them. So they're going to probably still go up towards the northeast, I would imagine, and try and get in that way. You don't really want to try and go through Vault Tunnel here. It would be quite a difficult spot, but...
02:48:54 The Survey Beacon on their way will maybe give them a little bit more of an idea of how they want to play this. Should be able to purples as well. You see the Evo Harvester was right next to them. So FaZe are going to be able to approach this one, at least with the best chances of fighting their way into a spot. They're also going to see there's still, as there always is in Skyhook, a lot of buildings available for them, but it's about finding their way to one.
02:49:15 Icon is back in the game here for Empire, so Nomobi gets stuck, they will be chilling, they will be safe. With those KP on board, now think about their next move. But I think a lot of teams now aren't going to be thinking about what's next. Everyone is waiting for the zone to close. Not this one, the one afterwards to know what moves they have to make. FaZe, having hit that survey beacon, will be able to find a building that is going to be safe. That's not going to be blind for them. However, one team is struggling at the moment.
02:49:42 Ja, SPS hat bereits einen. Ich weiß nicht, ob es die REMAINDER ist, dass die REMAINDER ist. Ich denke, die REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist. Ich denke, der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist. Ich glaube, dass der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist. Ich glaube, dass der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist, dass der REMAINDER ist.
02:50:09 Not over committing to a fight that's pointless. And instead getting zone 4 information before you start to make that move. Because that's going to be the biggest aspect of this game is where that zone goes. Does it go towards the central building? Does it pull a little bit further southwest? Or does it go even further north where the likes of 07 currently find themselves? A little bit of patience is going to have to be shown here by teams. In fact they're in match 5 as well. Kind of difficult for some of those squads considering that...
02:50:38 Ich denke, wir brauchen einen K.P. als Placeman-Poich. Aber das ist nicht das Spiel für es. Das ist das Spiel für die Long-Game, so zu sprechen. Ich denke, es wird ein K.P. von Distanz sein. Ich denke, wir werden das Ressetieren. Wir haben die K.L.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.W.A.
02:51:01 Looks like they're gonna try and actually wrap to the back of Trials. And up to the top. Let's jump into a list of them with Killer Whales. Let's see what the plan is.
02:51:13 1, 2, 3, 1
02:51:42 Ja, wir müssen zurück. Ja, wir müssen zurück. Ja, wir müssen zurück. Ja, wir müssen zurück. Ja, wir müssen zurück. Ich bin gut. Du bist gut. Du bist gut. Du bist gut. Du bist gut.
02:52:05 Do you want to go counter? Yeah, we have to. I got another Metcat, and I got Phoenix as well. Yeah, there's an ult XL. I'll have my ult. We can go thingy again, mark it. I mean, if we wait, do you have enough heals to wait? I have two Metcats, 6 Ingers. I have one Metcats, 5 Ingers. Yeah, they're 2 Ingers there, bro. Yeah, but they're drilling, bro. They're not. We shouldn't, I don't think. We just on this side and zipped it here. Like Dyna here. Yeah, but they took it now.
Killer Whales' Rotation und FaZe Clans Herausforderungen
02:52:37
02:52:37 So Killer Whales try and wrap, they get the pick on the height, but it just seemed to draw attention to them, Dan, as they tried to slide down. You heard in the comms as well. No Pathminer Zip available, they used it to get to that position, which means that they couldn't really capitalize on getting that knock and getting into zone. Yeah, now they have to have a long old journey round, I mean...
02:52:54 They were talking about going down towards Count now, but I was wondering if they could head north and that wrap. It seems like they had the meds for it and looking at the map, it looks like that might be what they're going to go for here. Again, it could still be a difficult rotation for them in, but it might give them a better opportunity to play for the end game because this zone is transitioning east. We're going to be heading a little bit further east on Skyhook. So for Phase Clan, for example, who head to the southwest.
02:53:17 They're gonna have to now move through about six or seven teams before they can even get into zone, so it's gonna be a tough old journey for them as well. Yeah, look at the likes of Uaim, very good position for them playing that bar building and the triple stack. They're currently split holding at the moment, so teams might try and identify that as a building, one of those buildings that can be taken. Of course, the triple stack building as well is gonna have floors available to try and force on. There's a killer whales!
02:53:45 Wir sehen ein paar Mad Maggies in der Lobby, aber die Unterschiede die Mad Magie kann machen, ist es, dass es die Zip wird, und dann wird Killer Whales, als ein 2, starten die Newcastle, aber... Wario wird es aber sein, aber ich glaube, Killer Whales wird einfach fallen.
02:54:10 Rez just seems to delay the inevitable here. KingVictor will go down. Killer Whales will be eliminated. So we're not going to be able to rotate work. Too many lines of sight on that height that they did land on initially. Ronin did a really good job actually just making sure that they bullied them out of that position once they knew some damage was done. 07 on that northern side. We said how it will be good for now. But their reaction to where this zone is going to go.
02:54:36 Das wird ein bisschen anders sein. Sie werden zurückgekehrt nach dem Train Station direkt hier. Und wie Sie sehen, auf der sehr Norden tip der Zone, das ist 07. Das ist nicht der Schmerz des Spots. Wenn sie ihren Weg in einer der Bühne sind, von Tate Flight oder Cybercats, zum Beispiel, dann könnte sie sich in dieser Endgame befinden. Aber ja, wenn Sie es in Endgame sind, Faze, Roadhouse ist ein sehr schwierig für sie zu machen.
02:54:59 It's funny, isn't it, as well? If you think back to FaZe, when they were making their move in, they were hitting that Survey Beacon, and then they chose to take the building on the southwest. Had they kept just moving up and walked in, they would have been prime position on that right-hand side. Now, granted, a difficult spot to hold because those buildings were taken, but the building below you in, for example, is still available. But hindsight is 20-20, and obviously, without ring information, things are very different. But now we've got to watch FaZe Clan try and bully their way through from this southwest spot.
02:55:28 Und bei dem so können sie einfach nur in der Leid zu erhöhen, in der ersten Platz ist. Los geht's mit Faze Clan und sehen wie sie fühlen.
02:55:57 Komm her! Komm her! Komm her! Komm her! Komm her! Komm her!
Strategische Spielzüge und Teamdynamiken im späteren Spielverlauf
02:56:13
02:56:13 Really interesting listening there. They win the fight against Zipline Mafia, but one thing I love and I want to highlight down is the use of the term checkpoint and rotate. That means piece by piece, step by step. We're going to give ourselves checkpoints, move from building to building to try and get to this zone. Ronin, Eliminate it in the meantime. Yeah, Eliminate it. They'll be out of action here. CyberCats starting to move through as now teams getting a little bit desperate to go from building to building and just taking any space that is presented to them, but having to fight your way through certain squads whilst you do it.
02:56:42 UN ist in einem der besten Spots. Citadel haben ihn zu flankieren und von einem Gebäude, das ist, dass es für sie funktioniert. Sie wollen nicht überkommit zu Faits in der Moment, denn sie sind immer wieder zu arbeiten. Ich denke, Faits hat erkannt, dass die Endgame nicht möglich ist. Aber KP kann es wohl sein. Zinetic ist hier für Faits momentan. Sie sehen Fenix in fronten ihm, der Solo ist auch. Die Lobby ist zu lighten. Citadel Gaming will be out.
02:57:08 und 15 Quads finden sich jetzt hier in dieser Lobby.
02:57:38 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020
02:57:47 07 initially forced the bottom floor. And Roadhouse now find themselves having to move in. 20 seconds to make their play. 14 squads still alive in this lobby. It's going to be so tough to work your way anywhere near this endgame. If you're in a safe spot right now, you're going to have to be so alert to every team that's going to be trying to force onto your position. It's almost one of those where if you think you can get a kill, sometimes just prioritizing your life is better for the longer game.
02:58:18 Und du kannst den Rezschiff hören. SJP-2 geteilt. Allianz, wir sind wieder mit ihnen. Sie sind auf der Kateg-Build in der Moment. Sie werden wieder zurück zum 4-3. Allianz hat einen Pathfinder. Sie können sich über die Zippe ausziehen. Sie sehen, dass das Zippe bereits in den Platz ist. Aber es ist über die Zeit, was du kommst hier. Und eigentlich, du könntest es als Bait. Es war nicht elektrisch, also. Sie würden sich viel zu tun haben.
02:58:44 Fae's Clan haben sich nicht erlaubt, sie werden jetzt in der Lobby. Das öffnet sich das für das letzte Spiel. Fae's ist der Topf der Leaderboards. Simon Katz hat eine große Amount von Damage gemacht. Und als der Kampf ist, Haki sagt, ich will ein Stück von diesem. Er hat die 3-P.
02:59:00 Der Effekt ist in der Mainzeit, so Allianz ist zu 2, aber Unlucky ist in dem Job auf der Newcastle. Die Team-Mate ist zurückgekehrt. Ja, sie sind unnotiert, und in der Moment, ein paar Nades sind zu kommen. Vielleicht sind sie jetzt spottet worden. Roadhouse und NOM werden in den Moment getrennt werden. Diese Zone wird zwischen all diesen Gebäuden. All diese Teams, die sich jetzt sicherlich sind, wird nicht sein, als die nächste Zone gescheitert werden. Cybercats sind jetzt übernommen, als Allianz getrennt werden. Wir haben 8 Squaden in der Final-Circle.
02:59:30 It's probably out into No Man's Land. Yeah. If you've got a new castle in your composition, that's going to be very, very good news. Just to slam a wall down towards this endgame and be able to play from the artificial cover. Rampart also will have an impact. Get that hands cover down. SPS at the moment still alive inside a green, still safe. It's tough to say who's in the best position right now because so many teams are compromised. I think Take Flight is just a two. No, there are three. There are three. Okay, so Take Flight.
02:59:57 Even though they are without teams below them, they are just so vulnerable when they drop as Cybercats get deleted by Sheila. Maybe Passion, there's something to be said about their position at the moment. Again, they are on their own in the building, but they are so vulnerable to being shot by both sides. This is a really tough zone to try and call anyone who's a potential favorite here. So a lot of it's going to come down to actual gun ability here and maybe who is brave enough to move first.
03:00:25 Slamm auf der anderen Seite. Kacchera wird das 4.07. Er hat den Knoll, ein bisschen mehr Dämmt hat. Er hat sie zurück in die Gebäude. Schiele... ...deleting Artificial Color cover.
03:00:42 Ja, das könnte eine große Herausforderung sein, wenn du diese Kills gewonnen hast, aber weil du zwei gewonnen hast, kann ich nicht? Ich weiß nicht, ob du Zeit hast, um hier zu kommen.
03:01:08 We'll have to see. It's going to be a race against the zone. All the meanwhile, you can see the impact it's having on this southeast building. Empire are holding the top of it and look to be one of the better situated teams right now in terms of damage. But now this is the drop. They're going to drop onto Anik Esports. I think this is. They've also got Passion in front of them, SPS. They were the last to go, but the next to go is so difficult to call here. Anik now going to feel Sheila. And that is going to...
03:01:35 Ja, Empire senden sich auf 2nd place in den Overalls, glaube ich. Ja, sehr schwierig zu sagen, wer die Favourite ist, wenn man die Map sieht, und man sieht ein paar Teams in der gleichen Geburt, aber die Wahrheit der Empire hat die High-Ground über everyone...
03:02:03 And they had cover to work with as well. And I love what they did. When they dropped, they didn't just get sucked into the fight. There was obviously a call to say, look, we can retreat from this one slightly, take middle of the map, and then it's just going to be a free win as we can watch over everything. We would have seen a lot of teams there maybe over committing to that fight, got a little bit excited, a little bit nervous about what was happening around them. But someone had the wise words to say, look, we are free if we just move away from this transition fight.
03:02:27 Yeah, really, really impressive stuff. I think just having that height advantage towards the endgame as well. They could see what side of the zone was going to be clear, right? They had so many shots onto the likes of SPS, were able to clear that side of the zone and then just castle walling out to face back onto where the rest of the action was. Really, really well played from them. And to be honest with you, I thought the teams that were in green might have a bit of a better opportunity, but of course...
03:02:48 Es ist schwer zu bleiben, wenn es Multiple Teams gibt, dass es in den letzten Jahren nicht mehr gibt. Aber sie waren sicherer für länger, aber sie alle hatten zu bleiben. Und sie haben einfach zu verabschieden. Empire Gaming mit 15kp, mit 12kp und 12kp gibt es 27kp. Und es gibt uns ja noch einen Winner heute. 5 Matches, 5 verschiedene Winners. Wow, ja, es ist alles über den Platz hier in Emeer. Und das bedeutet, es könnte...
03:03:09 A very interesting ending, but Liffin with 8 kills for Empire Gaming does give them the opportunity to potentially win this series going into Match 6. They are catching up FaZe Clan and even though FaZe Clan have just been able to keep arm's length away from everyone, just being in that touching distance does give some of these teams the opportunity going into the last one. This is how it looks.
03:03:31 in der Serie an der Moment. Wie gesagt, FaZe ist noch mit einem pretty commanding lead, würde ich sagen, in der Final Game zu sagen. Aber Empire Gaming, wie es ist, wie weit es ist. Empire Gaming 48, Onyx 46, Alliance 43, Roadhouse 43, Citadel 41. Und YouAim ist jetzt hinter dem, als auch. Die Leaderboard ist zu ändern, in dieser Final Game. Und das ist schon ziemlich synonymisch mit EMEA so far, dieses Jahr. Es fühlt sich jedes Mal an, um das Final Game zu machen.
03:04:01 Das wird so großartig sein, wie die finalen Stand-Ins sehen. Faze Clan hat sich die ganze Arbeit gemacht, aber wenn wir einen der größten Spiel wiedersehen, von diesen Teams zu sehen, ist es noch eine Chance, sie könnten Faze hier übernommen. All right, wir gehen und essen essen und essen, denn Game Nummer 6 ist in der nächsten Woche. Wir werden zurück in ein paar Minuten.
03:04:40 Of course you think that. You've got one bloody eye. Uh-oh. Just walk it off. Yeah, you'll be all right. Oh, guess not.
Legendenauswahl und Strategieanpassungen in Match 6
03:06:51
03:06:51 Will we see one team repeat here today? Will we see FaZe hold on to that first place spot? Or will we see six different winners and a complete shakeup here at the end of these games? And a little bit of a shakeup of legend selection as well with Ashe and Pathfinder being banned, which is not something we typically see. This match six is going to be an interesting one. I'm trying to think of a legend that you can play that can give you a little bit of coverage and ability from point A to point B, but you've now lost Alter, Wraith.
03:07:17 Ash and Pathfinder, where do you even go from here? This is where you're going to see a few more teams just going for potentially a bit of Mad Maggie in action. A little bit of Bangalore might be the only option I can think of, like for smokes to cross, but again, it's one of those, isn't it? It's like if you're a team right now, do you play for...
03:07:39 A particular zone, do you say, hey, we've just had a Skyhook zone, so there's probably not going to be another Skyhook zone. So do we go for something that's going to give us a little bit more artificial cover? It's a difficult one, right? I'm interested to see how the compositions look as we take a look back on the final circle from match number five. And it was the team up on the ultimate height that ended up winning it here, Dan. They did indeed. I mean, when we were looking at it, it's...
03:08:01 Ich glaube, es ist sehr schwierig zu tun, wenn es so viele Teams gibt, weil es manchmal geht es um, was die Teams zu tun hat. Sie kommen early oder late, können Sie frustrieren Sie mit ihr ausführen? In der Ende, wir sahen, Citadel an early Position, TakeFlight also versucht zu finden... Sorry, Passion versucht an early Position zu finden, aber in der Ende, es war etwas zu early. Aber Empire...
03:08:27 Sie haben das extra coverage, und die Newcastle mit der Shield hier, mit dem Ampte, das bedeutet, dass sie in Prozesse waren. Aber hier ist es, dass sie ein paar Shots sind, und sie sagen, dass sie nicht in diesem Kampf nehmen müssen. Es gibt niemanden hinter uns. Und dann ist es einfach ein clean-up von diesem Punkt. Es ist die Schielefest in den letzten Moments zu cleanen, um für Empire Gaming zu geben, der erste Win ist.
03:08:51 We were kind of talking about counter comps, counter playstyles, and we've seen a fair bit of that today actually in EMEA, and it's kind of led into this discussion that we're having about what Legends we're going to see. Like Pathfinder Band, I think for the first time this year, it feels like. First time they split for sure. As we head into match number six, five different winners. I'm very interested in what these compositions look like, Dan, as we take a look at the bands.
03:09:14 Yeah, I'm looking across all of the previous match weeks, and I think you might be correct. I don't think we've seen a Pathfinder banned in any... Oh, no, we have. Okay, so Emiya, technically, we would have seen a Pathfinder ban going into match seven last week, but that was game six.
03:09:32 Powerfinder became the most prevalent, but of course technically didn't get banned because it was the last match. But yeah, we are seeing Powerfinder pop up again, and that was because we had already lost Ashe, we'd lost Wraith, we'd lost Alter, but because we've lost them a game earlier here, that means that this match takes us very interesting in terms of where you go for your comp. And yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Bangdawar seems to be the most used here. We are seeing a little bit more Mad Maggie coming in as well. Plenty of Sparrow, but...
03:10:00 13 Bangalores, just to try and give you that smoke for coverage from moving from point A to point B. Well, that's going to be the go-to then. Bangalore is going to be...
03:10:11 Was we're going to be looking at? There's your pick rates at the top of the screen for you. Wondering who's going to be picked here. A lot of Maggie. And there is the map overhead. And I said, hey, we've had a Skyhook zone. Surely we don't have another one that's going to be around buildings. Well, we might have a monument finish here. Although the way that it's shaping up, it looks like it might be North Monument. But we do see Impala down to the south as well. Again, a difficult read here. I think this is one way you're hoping that your scrims have presented you with a similar zone. And you're going to get an idea of where this endgame is going to pull to.
03:10:40 Es ist ein langer Weg für FaZe Clan. Das ist wieder eine zweite Zone, wo sie müssen die Majority der Map verändern. Nicht ein bader Weg für Empire Gaming, die in 2nd place sind. Und sie haben eine Ring Console auf Overlook. So sie können ziemlich schnell gehen, wo sie das ist, wenn sie das Spiel wollen. Aber mit dem Rampart und dem Newcastle werden sie versuchen, sehr früh zu spielen. Legion Gaming also, glaube ich, haben eine Ring Console auf der Norte.
03:11:05 07 have just been able to hit one as well from Survey Camp, so they're going to be moving pretty quick. Yeah, 07 have got a really, really good opportunity here for Pryo. Like you mentioned, they've got Epi Survey, both POIs to themselves.
03:11:20 So they're going to be able to hit that console. You saw them hitting the evac to all join up back together. And I wonder if they play the height here to look for KP and a potential northern pull. It's a tough one to call as an IGL, I feel. It's a safe position to play from, but if it does pull down to that south, then 07 are going to have some trouble. Especially, like we've mentioned, with the lack of characters that give you that transitional ability, those micro-rotates. So the Legend Band's really affecting things here.
03:11:46 Aber die Good News für die meisten Spieler und die meisten Leute hier ist, dass es da viel Platz ist, also du musst auf das zu viel in diesem Game 6 sein. Das ist etwas, was wir nicht so viel gesprochen haben, seit der Veränderung, wenn du eine Ring-Console hast, du kriegst eine Automatik-Balloon, das du kannst, aber das hat sich um die Prozess zu移st, um die Zone zu移st.
03:12:08 So you have to be very aware of your surroundings if you are in an area where the zone is coming towards you, because people are going to be there so fast now after hitting those ring consoles and getting an instant redeploy that they can work with. So if you're not aware and you find yourself caught out, then you just might be able to, you just get split up and then you're going to lose that prior. So I think people are on their toes a little bit more nowadays, just aware that people are going to be very quick to zone.
03:12:36 A few teams who aren't going to be quick to zone a fighting on a screen right now or looking to fight it's going to be Cybercats and Ronin. Looks like Ronin have decided to retreat from this position.
03:12:46 Cybercats will be granted the ability to grab Evo Harvester uncontested. So both of these teams essentially working towards Purples to try and find their way in towards zone. Looking if there's any outliers here. Citadel Gaming are taking their time over at Trials. Understanding a long way for them to go relative to how quickly everyone else is going to get prio to this zone. But we all know the Skyhook West is going to give you the best loot from any POI on the map.
03:13:12 Okay, let's have a little look back here because Nate is a little bit cheeky over on the egg build. He's a little bit separated actually from the rest of his team here on Ronin, so Nate's got to be careful. Yeah, you don't want to be separated this early. Just allow someone to kind of walk in on you and take your spot away from you and beat you in the rotation or beat you to prior. And you can see how congested it is at Monument already. Now the late movers, however...
03:13:40 Es wird eine sehr andere Geschichte für sie. Ronin weiterentwickelt sich, ob sie ihre Weg durch den Weg durch. Aber Cybercats sind sie auf der besten Abilität, aber sie sind gut von Ronin. Sie müssen sie auf den Weg durchführen. Und sie werden sie in diesem Kampf nehmen. Ich bin nicht so, Cybercats sind in der Lifeline. Ich habe sie durch den Anni-Lifeline-Alt hier gesehen. Wenn du das schnellst, macht es ein bisschen mehr komfortabel für dich.
03:14:06 A tough day for the Cybercats. They were down in 16th position and they could drop even lower after this game. Now Alliance also taking a fight, but it looks like maybe it could be a tough one because Effect has already gone down. There could be the option to retreat away from this one if they would like to here, Alliance, and it looks like that's going to be the call that's made.
03:14:35 Get a little bit of a respawn situation here going on.
03:14:40 Interessant, der Effekt ist ein bisschen split für den Rest von Allianz. Ich weiß nicht genau wie das passiert, aber ich habe es ein bisschen geholfen. Allianz will be able to reset, und das wird es rechtfertigt. Ich habe nicht die Banner auf dem Moment gesehen, aber ich kann die Klimatizer und Kraft werden. Aber mit der Zone zu verlassen, es wird ein sehr, sehr langer Rotate für sie zu machen. Allianz werden müssen die Pfeifen, und sich wieder nachdenken, bevor sie wieder nach dem Zonen denken.
03:15:10 And that's good news for the likes of GoNext, who of course are watching on. They're in first place in the overall overalls at the moment, but if Alliance do just drop down the leaderboards a little bit here, don't get as much points, then GoNext can still be going into their next matchday with a real opportunity of holding on to that first position when they equal the games played.
03:15:30 Allianz will go into Climatizer, as you had mentioned, and they are going to be alone there. No one's going to be in Climatizer, so it will be a free craft, but it's going to be a long journey back. It's now Citadel Gaming on the hut. This is aggressive con.
03:15:45 Ja, das ist alles gut für Citadel.
Spannungsgeladene Momente und strategische Wendungen im Finale
03:16:15
03:16:15 Ist es? Es ist ein 1v2, ich denke. Es ist. Ich weiß nicht, ob Sie haben Zeit, um hier zu gehen, weil es aggressiv ist. Oh! Oh, es macht es ein 1v1. Ich habe gesagt, eine Sache du kannst, ist es, um, aufzunehmen und aufzunehmen, die Chance zu Clutch, aber... Ich glaube, Killer Whale wird das ein bisschen gewonnen haben. Sie werden hier in Citadel Gaming beherrscht. Das war es auch. Und sie waren da, sie waren in der mix. Und das ist ein schwieriges Loss zu nehmen in Game 6.
03:16:43 Killer Whale still survive and give themselves the slim chance of trying to take this entire series, but remember FaZe Clan are still in first, and FaZe Clan have been, slowly but surely, working their way towards Zone. They find themselves in Fragment at the moment, not quite towards Monument, but certainly in a position where they can close in and maybe bully some teams out to take that spot. There's Alliance still on the north at Survey Camp, and you can see FaZe holding out Ronin at the moment on that southeastern Fragment, which will be safe right now, but full will be...
03:17:12 The team they're going to have to try and take down if they want to get into that next zone. Yeah, Lion's going to hit console here, not just for Evo, but to give them the info. It's not going to give them much, though. You can see Monkiment is completely encircled by where this zone is going. I wonder if it's going to pull up just in the north of where Empire Gaming are. Sometimes playing that ramp outside can be a really good spot in the endgame. Not so much of a building, but it gives you really good coverage with everybody else stacked up inside of it.
03:17:40 Just to the south of the bridge of Epicenter. And it is a position you have to play late. Ronin taking some damage. Nate trying to escape. MG clutch though. He's got a Peacekeeper. Zayn's only got the R9. Zayn needs help. Does get help as well. And Faye's doing well with a bait and switch at the moment. They're all very tricky to try and deal with. But Sinetic has fallen. It's going to be a response from Nags though. I think it's a 2v2.
03:18:07 Tv2 kann jetzt versuchen, das Rez zu stecken. Er hat den Support-Perk, so er wird zu heilern, wenn er wieder auf seinen Feet ist. Senetik geht's in, um die Re-Knock zu werden. Und als der Kampf ist, F.U.L. jetzt geht's in, um die Dämpfe zu gehen. Und F.U.L. jetzt muss erhören, und F.A.Z. jetzt muss erhören. Und wenn sie hier gehen, dann ist es jemanden's. Ja, es würde erhören, wenn F.A.Z. war zu fallen. Senetik, doch...
03:18:31 Just about escapes, and if you want anyone to get away, the Crypto can sometimes be that perfect player, because maybe you can grab those banners via the drone. You can see the shots being sent over towards him as they're trying to get the scuffering Sedetic, but now I think another team arriving might just give him a passage to escape, and FaZe live on for now. We're eliminated in that scuffle, by the way, by FUL, so that'll be the end of their day as well. Moving it to train station there in FUL.
03:19:01 Kuro does a good job just to claim that door as well, reinforces it, but that's going to be knocked down. The train station is very, very busy at the moment. And Moises is going to have to hit some big shots here to force this team away.
03:19:17 Checking every angle, checking every nook and cranny to see if anyone was hiding, but they can't quite find them. And that zone will now close anyone who was outside of it, just into the likes of Fragment and Monument. But Fae's still alive. Synetic has been able to escape, but...
03:19:34 Are you able to get the banners? Are you able to get back up to a full three? There's a crafter on that southern side. That's what I mean. It's not impossible for FaZe, but it's certainly not going to be easy. You can see he is making his way there. SPS will be the team that's closest to shut FaZe down. Now, to give you an idea of the numbers, FaZe are currently 14 points ahead of Empire Gaming. Now, that is not unachievable by any means. Empire Gaming have found themselves on that eastern side of Monument, so they're certainly in the conversation for that final circle.
03:20:04 The circle pulls all the way to the western side of Monument here.
03:20:12 Es wird wirklich interessant sehen, wo das eigentlich endet auf geht. Das ist auf der Train Station outside der Grammars. Wir haben ein paar Teams zu kämpfen. Allianz ist einer von ihnen zu kämpfen. Allianz ist einer von ihnen zu kämpfen. Der Effekt hat einen Dämpf. Er hat einen Dämpf. Er hat einen Dämpf. Er hat einen Dämpf. Er hat einen Dämpf.
03:20:40 Es wird nur ein Fall sein, dass es genug ist. Ja, einfach nur noch einen und alle Placement Points gibt, wenn ihr Phase ist. Wenn du in der Top 15 bist, dann wird das einfach nur genug sein. Wenn wir diese Top-Teams drohen, Allianz gehen, Citadel gehen. Das macht die Top-Five, die Kilo-Wales, U-Aim, 07, die sind sehr wichtig für ihre Überraschungen. Not die Banners. Not die Banners. Und die Nifte Little Drone.
03:21:09 You can head down and maybe get a res here. SPS still in that building. I wonder if Zinetic is just going to wait to hit this respawn until teams are forced to move. He's going to be safe where he is at the moment. So Zinetic is trying to weigh up his options in this situation. Couple of knocks coming in at the feet in the meantime from Nades.
03:21:34 I'm going to be able to be converted upon. Synetic is doing everything he needs to do in this situation. That's going to be the target. But it's all about the timing of this res here.
03:21:47 Und auch, bei der Reise der Reise, es bleibt ihn im Visible, bleibt ihn im Unnone und bleibt ihnen mit ihren Chancen zu erhalten. Das ist die erste Priorität hier. Und auch, bei der Zonen wird das Zonen sein. Und das Zonen wird einfach weitergehen. Und das Zonen wird einfach weitergehen. Das Zonen wird einfach weitergehen. Das Zonen wird einfach weitergehen. Das Zonen wird einfach weitergehen, wo U-Aim und TAKE-Flight bleiben.
03:22:12 The real question is, can we see a team like Empire or Onik actually put enough points on the board to threaten FaZe's position in first place? 07, we mentioned how if the zone pulled towards the north of Monument, they're gonna be in a good spot, but now they're pulled away from them, they have to get aggressive, and Tyler is doing just that, but he gets pumped, Kashera now looking to hit some shots, it's all up to Natsuki though, the 1v1 hit.
03:22:38 Zampai hat seine Shields broken. Manuski, nicht zu kommen, hat er sich nicht zu kommen. Aber er hat sich nicht zu kommen. Er bringt die PK zurück. Zampai ist er zu peak.
03:22:49 A couple of fences going down on either side at the moment. Trying to control the space. Leasing Gaming will be eliminated. Natsuki will clutch. But there is a team on Hite here. And with this reset coming in, the question is, will Endorse look to collapse? Onik on the fire at the moment. Remember, they're in third place right now. They're one of the chasing teams. 47 points, but it looks like they might be looking at what happens elsewhere to see if they can hold on to top three. But just one survivor left squeaks through the gap. And just about Onik lived to fight another day right now.
03:23:21 F.U.L. Eliminator 2. Faze have respawned in the bottom right-hand side of your screen. You can see that Faze are back into this game. They waited for S.V.S. to have to engage somewhere. And with S.V.S. taking a loss as well, walking for Faze becomes a little bit more comfortable. Onyx still alive though.
03:23:41 Only still alive, but as it won. The main threat being Empire Gaming to FaZe Clan's chances of winning this series. FaZe still heavy favorites. They've got that one extra placement by being in the top 15, but if they can now get a couple of kills on the board, it may just put them out of touching distance for the likes of Empire. They are hugging this wall, and is there a team there? They've noticed where SPS are, and they are going to continue to push SPS here.
03:24:08 Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.
03:24:22 Und SJP2 wird wiederholen. 12 Quads jetzt noch bleiben. Und Faze wird jetzt schon genug sein. Und das wird sich auf die Roadhouse, die sich in 4th Position befinden. Remember, am Anfang war ich gesagt, Roadhouse müssen sich auf die Top 3 in den Overalls sein, wenn sie eine Chance haben. Und das wird ihnen das perfecte Chance, die sich jetzt in die Top 3 in diesen Series standen geben. Faze ist zurück und zurück und zurück und zurück und zurück.
03:24:53 Wow, Wellberth!
03:25:22 Von Versace, Passion eliminated a clean Squad Wipe hier, aber sie noch müssen in die Zone zu arbeiten. Die Arbeit ist nicht für Empire. Ja, das ist schwer zu werden, denn die Gebäude hat so viel Aufmerksamkeit von dieser Zone zu bekommen. Und leider sind sie nicht in die Gebäude, so sie müssen um die Gebäude zu gehen. Sie müssen einfach zurückkommen. Sie müssen wieder zurückkommen, um sich zusammen zu gehen. Das ist genau das, was sie machen. Sie werden ein bisschen geholfen von U-Aim.
03:25:46 Und sie haben sich gegründet, aber es sieht aus wie sie sind, aber sie haben sich gegründet. Und sie haben sich gegründet. Roadhouse haben sich gegründet, so das ist sie zu all-Eyes. Und Empire, um sich zu sehen, ob sie können in der ersten Platz nehmen. In Dorso zu haben, zu res hier. Wir werden einen Spieler auf. Feinix ist noch auf dem Knie. Wir werden ihn wieder zurückziehen. Wir werden ihn wieder zurückziehen. Das ist die Mafia.
03:26:14 Try and move to a more central position, but look at the fortress that Empire Gaming have built. Castle Wall, Amps Cover, PK to the ready.
03:26:23 Nomm und Endorser haben auch.
03:26:53 Wir sind jetzt in den letzten Momenten, fünf Quads remaining. Empyre Gaming mit 6 Kp zu der Name in der Moment. Die Zip-Line Mafia, doch. Ein bisschen Peek, ein bisschen Prod, um sie zu fangen, um sie zu diesem Bild. Eifel mit einem wirklich guten Swing, mit einem wirklich guten Dammage und einem fantastischen Knochen für diese Situation. Sie haben die Dice mit P20-20-Schutz und sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen.
03:27:18 Instead, they're just holding out Zipline Mafia right now, but with all that damage, now they start to get a bit more aggressive. Artic ain't missing. Artic! Zipline Mafia become his victims. Empire Gaming won first place. Now they find themselves three points behind FaZe Clan here. One more squad wipe, and they would be joint first, plus that would give them a placement point, and they would win this entire series.
03:27:43 Four squads remain. Kelleweo ist still in this. They're going to put themselves into a great position in the final standings as well. But Empire Gaming, like you say, three points away from stealing. First place in Match Day 7 away from FaZe Clan.
03:28:06 KP might be in front of them here, Dan. Yeah, again, those P2020s just being spammed across, see if you can connect anything. Gibby Bubble does go down, oh, but the Catwall, the Dark Veil, maybe just holds them back here. I don't know if they want to push through this, but they commit. Gotta be careful. Trying to keep the pressure on, but now the noise has been made. Lifely with some more. Fantastic. Mid-range P20 shots. Will slow down. Oh my. You aim.
03:28:35 Und EmpireGaming ist noch gesund! King! Er ist ein Punkt! Er ist ein Punkt! Ich bin in der Top 3, jetzt! Und EmpireGaming, sie bekommen die Punkte! Sie nehmen 1st Platz, weg von FaZe! Aber sie werden das mit einem gewinnen, wenn sie das machen können! Sie sehen, sie sind in der Moment, die Nades kommen, aber sie haben den Newcastle zu bekommen, aber sie haben den Rest, aber sie haben den Regen von der anderen Seite!
03:29:06 But the story was all empires. A fantastic Game 6 performance from them will mean that they will win today. They will win the series.
Empire Gaming sichert sich den Sieg: Analyse und Ausblick
03:29:16
03:29:16 Und ich habe gesagt, sie haben es geschafft. Die Final Game performance war absolut astronomisch. Ich meine, die Win in Match 5 sind dann die Top 2 in Match 6 zu pushen. Faze waren vielleicht ein bisschen frustraten. Sie waren nicht able, dass sie das eine gewisse Start haben auf E-District haben. Aber wieder, das ist wie schnell die LGS in der LGS kann, mit nur ein paar guten Spiels, besonders wenn du das well bist. Reindei, Empire Gaming.
03:29:42 Sweep it away from Faizland. They pull the rug right from underneath them and those points could be vital for their chances of trying to get towards Sephora.
03:29:50 Well, it's like they always say, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Empire Gaming find the perfect answer to a bit of a slower start into what will now be their first matchday win, I believe, here in the ALGS. An incredible performance from them towards the back half of this on World's Edge. And you can tell why these teams, when we got into it and said most of the teams here prioritize World's Edge in terms of their draft picks.
03:30:19 This is the reason why. The entire series was won based on performances from here. And while I am remiss to say FaZe Clan, they narrowly missed out. They certainly earned some great points today. They'll be expecting a win. They'll hope for a win next time around.
03:30:34 It has to be Empire Gaming and their ability to come forward at the moment when they needed it most to grab these points. And when it comes to championships, guys, this is the type of team that needs the championship points. This is not a given for them. They need the regional final wins. They potentially need the LCQ. So getting it into a place where they are safer or at least close to avoiding some of those things, that is a massive deal, Mark, if they're really able to pull that off.
03:30:59 Yeah, I mean, every single, I mentioned at the top of the show, every point, every kill, every placement gives you something to work towards Sapporo. And that's, I think for every single team, if you were to say at the start of the year, what do you want to achieve? Getting to champs is going to be that answer. If it's not, then you're probably in the wrong business because that's what everyone wants to play for. And we are seeing it now in EMEA. I think we're seeing people.
03:31:20 Not being afraid to try different comps, to try and force those points, to try and get ahead of the meta and the legends that everyone else is picking. It's been a fascinating week. I've got to say, yesterday Amir looked a bit shaky, but today I was really impressed with what we saw.
03:31:34 Yeah, and you talk about Vasate, Lifan, Arctic, who formerly FaZe Clan, formerly Exo, and now finding his way here is a bunch of... This is that shuffling of the pack that we've talked about. Finding a home maybe at the right time. Representing an org that's been in Apex for a while, too, and allowing us to kind of see the different iterations of the squad from different regions as well. Now we get to see it here in EMEA's having its day. So congratulations to Empire Gaming. I know we got some standings probably...
03:32:03 in terms of overall standings to take a look at in a moment. But Dan, just taking back at six, it did seem like FaZe Clan's day, but how can we not just put it all on Empire with the performance that they've had towards the back two? Yeah, the fact that they've done that in the last two matches, I think that they can be very proud of themselves because especially when you're under that kind of pressure, you know that FaZe Clan have that kind of lead on you. But as soon as they saw FaZe Clan eliminated in that kill feed, they probably thought, you know...
03:32:27 We have a real chance here, especially with how they were playing. They were playing very successfully together, pushing the right things in the right areas and very successful flanks that were going down as well. It didn't seem like they were too panicked. And just hitting shots, which we always say, sometimes it matters. Just getting that gun ability out and showing what you're made of, especially in a meta like this where the PK hits so hard. It can be a scenario where you can really find yourself in a good spot just by hitting some shots here. While we wait to confirm the overall standings, let's take a look.
03:32:56 ...at der Series hier, weil das war eine unglaubliche Runde. Match 6 left Uaim auf der Topf. Das ist ein guter Wunsch für sie, morale-wise. Aber manchmal die finalen Wunsch, die match ist bereits entschieden. So es bleibt nicht die Energie, wie ihr hattet.
03:33:15 The team like Empire Gaming getting to 2nd, that's where it felt like they climbed a mountain and they stuck their flag out on top. That is what they wanted. Notably Killer Whales, too. 14 points there. They've got to be the other big story for me throughout the day. They had such a great turnaround on World's Edge, starting with Thermal, getting that win, which took them from 5 points to 36 points. And now adding 14 onto that in this game, they're at 50 points. They're top 4.
03:33:43 Marc, I know you were watching on the sidelines there. That speaks volumes of Killer Whales as well and their potential. Maybe you haven't put it together enough consistently throughout this split, but certainly have the potential to be a team that is reckoned with. Yeah, I think they've got some work to do on E-District for sure. I mean, on E-District.
03:33:59 Didn't look good, I'll be honest. But on World's Edge, it looked like a completely different team. And maybe it's zones. Maybe it's just comfort. Whatever it might be, Keller Wales did certainly get the confidence from that big win on Thermal. And I think, yeah, why not? Let's keep an eye on them. Let's see if the E-District improves. And maybe the results will keep improving and heading the right way.
03:34:16 Dan, speaking of E-District, did you have any awarenesses with how these comps played out? Anything you felt like kind of got forced to be used a little bit earlier on, wasn't available for World's Edge that would have been more comfortable for some of these teams? We know a lot of kind of shooting off the rip went to FaZe Clan on that map and then slowed down a little bit towards the World's Edge side. Why do you think that is?
03:34:38 I think that bans were fairly similar from matches 1 and 2, but it was 3 onward where things started to change. When we saw the early exit of Ash, for example, that meant that we had a lot more Pathfinders then come into the equation. And then that last game was just, you know, what is left at that point? You see people go for Bangalore, you see people just trying to get smokes on the board, which it just meant for a very chaotic last match. And I think that...
03:35:04 One thing we're seeing develop with this meta at the moment is that people are trying something a little bit different and how everything gets shaken up just by one single band not going the same way as scrims. And that's one way of looking at it is that yes, these teams will practice, yes, scrims will go one way, but also it gives teams an idea of what the bands are going to be. And if more than five teams suddenly decide we're going to go against the grain here, it changes everything going into the series for those legend comps.
03:35:30 I'm excited to keep an eye on it. We've got Americas coming up as well. We're not done with the LGS action. Just finishing up.
03:35:36 Und mit dem, wir haben uns zu begrüßen, unsere Sony Endzone Kill Leaders. Heute ist ein sehr speziell shout-out zu Empyre Gaming, Liffin, der in die Top-Spot ist, aber Zayn ist mit ihm mit 19 Punkten. Ein huge shout-out für sie. Ich muss sagen, King Victor, Max Dreyfee, Off U-Aim, das ist ein sehr guter Satz für den Tag. Ich weiß, dass sie das letzte Spiel haben. Aber wir haben ein bisschen mehr über Liffin, Marc.
03:36:05 Ich denke, das Rampart ist, dieses Spieler, der einfach gemacht hat für dieses Spiel heute. Ich denke, es ist ein sehr guter Weg zu beschreiben. Und die P20s, ich muss sagen, wir haben alle in unseren Händen. Wir alle wissen, wenn sie sogar noch stärker sind, dass in den Schuss close range war, das viel Spaß gemacht hat. Und in den Schuss, nicht so viel Spaß. Aber in den Schuss, nicht so viel Spaß. Aber in den Schuss, nicht so viel Spaß. Aber in den Schuss, du bist nicht ganz sicher mit der Blumen. Aber er war ein sehr wichtiges Schuss, nicht nur für Kills,
03:36:34 Und das 1 da, um die Spieler von U-Aim zu sehen, um sie zu sehen, um sie zu bekommen, um sie zu sehen, um sie zu 3rd-party zu bekommen, um sie dann die Möglichkeit, um sie ein bisschen zu setzen und zu focussen, um die fighten, die in fronte sind. Also, ich denke, die P20-Kills und die Damage, die in der finalen Spiel waren, war etwas, das wirklich stood-out für mich.
03:36:52 To me too, another thing, Dan, is the consistency. Our other kill leader as well was able yesterday in Henchman to play Watson, I believe, four out of the six games. And you can see here with Liffin able to play Rampart, five out of the six games. There's something to do with the consistency of being able to stay on a Legend that doesn't get banned to keep your momentum rolling.
03:37:12 Definitely helps for some players. Definitely helps for damage output as well when you get to have Sheila alongside you and just being able to rain down hell from teams that are either below you or even just opposite you. So that's going to be one of the key reasons why the damage was so impressive. But ultimately we have to look at the teams that were at the top of the leaderboard today is a few of them that need to have that qualification into regional finals and then probably to win regional finals. If you're not going to win pro league, you probably have to win regional finals to qualify for Sapporo. So very important that they get big points on the
03:37:41 Ich weiß nicht, dass wir uns auf den Emeer standen sind, wie es für EMEA ist. Ich bin wirklich interessiert, was das bedeutet für die Amerikas, für die Amerikas. Ich weiß, dass die Amerikas starten ein bisschen mehr in der Priorität ist.
03:38:07 für bestimmte Legends. Aber für mich war es, es war die Big Talk über Gibraltar in den Match Day 6. Wir haben die Rotation mit Stormpoint, jetzt natürlich in die E-District. Jetzt haben wir eine ganz andere look. E-District starten, die sich auf, um die E-District starten, um die Legen zu machen, um die Mobilität zu machen. Und dann machen wir was...
03:38:27 Ich hoffe, dass die Amerikas haben ein ähnliches in die Tone der Tag, wo es ein bisschen mehr von einem Slow Burn, bis sie in der Momentum sind.
03:38:56 It was Arctic who was able to overtake his former team in Phase to come over with the win for Empire Gaming in Match Day 7 in EMEA's. Let's talk to him. Arctic, what's going on, man? Congratulations. Yeah, let's go, guys. Thank you.
03:39:13 Obviously, I just think that you guys had a fantastic game, but I want to hear what it was like going in your mind. What team comms was happening? What was your journey personally, knowing that you guys had to pop off in those final two games, and you did so? Was it just, let's just keep this rolling? Did you guys have a different plan of attack that you utilized for those final two games? What went on behind the scenes that we didn't get to see?
03:39:38 Ich weiß nicht, wir hatten 19 Punkte in den ersten vier Games. Und in der vierten Spiel, wir haben 2v3 bei Allianz. Huckus hat uns mit der Skarnade. Und ich sagte zu den Boysen, ich war so passiv, wir müssen sich so aggressiv sein. Ich kann nicht sein, dass ich die einzige, die Penetration zu machen, entering Fights zu machen. Die Boysen haben sie zu picken, und sind mehr Proactive. Und sie haben das genau das für die letzten zwei Games. Sie waren in als auch. Sie waren mehr aggressiv als ich war. Und es war einfach. Every Fight war einfach einfach. Es war einfach einfach.
03:40:07 in ein paar Sekunden. Und es macht das Spiel wirklich einfach für uns. Ich würde gerne in mit der Frage auf den Backen. Firstly, congratulations auf den Wien heute. Talk me über die letzte Spiel. Du hast in den Feed gesehen, Phase went out, Alliance went out. Und dann hast du gewonnen, ein paar Fälle. Und es war ein paar Fälle. Und es war ein Momentum, was building und building zu dir. Wann du wissen, ob die Teams vorhanden und was du gemacht hast, was du gemacht hast?
03:40:32 We saw a couple of the teams that were around us die early and we knew that like okay we're in a good spot to like finish well on this day like we can win this but we're definitely gonna like guarantee top five let's make the most of it we can and I didn't want to slow the aggression down at any point I was just trying to fight everyone around us putting pressure out trying to kill everything and it just worked like everyone just fell over like our comms our fucking aggression it was just perfect
03:40:58 War es toll, dass du vorherige Auge aufhörst? War es da noch kein Blut für dich? Es ist nicht kein Blut, ich würde sagen. Es ist bitter, ich komme zu dem IGL-Roll. Ich habe mich selbst gespielt, und der Start war schwer. Wir waren auf und auf die ganze Zeit. Und ich bin so glücklich, dass ich jetzt zeigen, was ich als IGL-Roll bin. Und ich compete mit meinen vorherigen Team-Mates, meinen vorherigen IGL, die mich geholfen haben.
03:41:27 I mean, that says a lot as well. They had a great day too. But notably, you guys won on probably a smaller amount of points than we've seen. There's the Go Next Day yesterday where they had about 80 or so points. We've seen Alliance do that three or four times in EMEA. What do you made today's games a little slower, a little less top-heavy and more competitive throughout?
03:41:51 Wie war es eigentlich die Giants? Allianz und Phage und Phage sehr gut ist. Und die Teams heute, die heute schon mal waren, waren nicht so gut. Vielleicht haben sie einen off-day. Vielleicht war es nicht so einfach, als ich dachte es war. Es gab viel weniger Dominanz und viel mehr Raum für Teams. Und alles war so close zusammen. Ich sah in den letzten paar Games, wir waren 10 Punkte von 5th, wenn wir in 18th oder so.
03:42:17 It was really close, and we managed to squeeze every point out of those last two games and overtake them all somehow. I don't know. You know, we have you here. It's been a great interview. I kind of have to now just close it out, but just one little question. What do you guys think you have to do to qualify for champs? What is your sights set on in terms of what you'll be happy with and that you think will give you a chance to make it into Sapporo? I think we're definitely going to have to win the regional finals, and I think we're very capable.
03:42:45 I've won regional finals before in this region and I think we can do it. We just need a little bit more time to work on IGLing and eyeing out the mistakes that we've been making these past few days and I think we have a really good shot.
03:42:57 Well, that ding was almost like ding, ding, ding, right answer there, wherever I heard that from. Congratulations, Arctic, and taking not just down phase, but bringing up Empire as the IGL. That's got to be pretty exciting. Go ahead and celebrate with them and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Congratulations on your way to Match Day 7. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you.
03:43:19 Artic from Empire. Mark, strong words. He says he needs to win regional finals. Yeah, I mean, they know what they need to do. Sometimes when you know it's as simple as that, it's about finding form and then just getting the job done. You don't overthink it. You just, you know what you have to achieve. So he knows what they got to do. Now they just got to go and do it. Dan, I like how you brought up the question about FaZe.
03:43:42 Little chip on his shoulder, energy, maybe just something to prove that's really helping to light a fire underneath Arctic knowing that he did get kicked, but also now it's his time to say, hey, this is why I deserve to be at the forefront of Emiya. Yeah, so there's no bad blood, but then does mention that he got kicked from the team. I do like that as well, but you know, you're always going to remember those things. And as we look now at the overall standings, we've got to start thinking about regional finals because...
03:44:07 For a lot of these teams, the only way they can get to Sapporo is by winning regional finals. The points total is not going to be enough for them. They're going to be too far off. So for the likes of Empire, the fact now they find themselves on 71 points, they've got their spot in regional finals. They have found their place there and they now can just focus on and dedicating their time into practicing, getting better and locking in that chance of winning regional finals. And the same could go for the likes of Roadhouse, for example. Roadhouse, even though they are slightly closer in the...
03:44:37 Und ich habe auch gesagt, es wird auch ein Hype sein.
03:44:59 It is going to be really hype. October 12th, mark it on your calendars because if we have a team like Empire win regional finals and that just books their ticket to Japan, you know the celebrations are going to be something for the internet to marvel at. It is going to go viral. It's going to be a great moment. So do not miss it. October 12th, us three will be back for closing out this season and seeing who will.
03:45:22 Mark, Dan, closing thoughts. I'll start with you, Mark, after six games in EMEA. What is your takeaway as we head into the Americas in a couple hours? It feels like the competition is starting to heat up. I feel like we're getting a few teams who are sort of establishing themselves at the top of the leaderboards when it comes to what we can expect to be the representation for EMEA when we do get towards Sapporo. But also, you know, we're seeing a few teams really step up here, the likes of Empire Gaming, who might cause some...
03:45:49 Dan, your thoughts here after 6?
03:46:10 Well, we started the show, Mark was very sad, but now Mark is very happy, so that ultimately makes me happier. I'm in a great mood. When he's in a good mood, going into Americas, you know it's going to be a good day. EMEA has been very entertaining, but I'm sure that Americas is going to provide just as much, if not even more, entertainment for us, so you don't want to miss it.
03:46:28 Speaking of that, I forgot to DoorDash my lunch here in this hour-long break. I don't know if I'm going to make it, guys. You might have to start the show without me. But before we do, we'll say goodbye and let you get started on your lunch breaks here, Dan and Mark. Great job. All right, everybody. It's been a fun day of AMIAs, and we have more fun coming for you. If you follow us on our socials, make sure to remember that there is a giveaway coming up.
03:46:51 Und natürlich, die Amerikas, die wir jetzt schon erwähnt haben, in ein paar Minuten später auch. Und das ist eine, die Rivalry, die wir jetzt erwähnt haben. Falcons?
03:47:02 Und ZZ. Zero and Hal split after teaming up. The super team is no more. And we'll see who comes out on top in their first official battle. Okay, I had mentioned this a little earlier, but if you want to follow us, there are some real good reasons to do so now. On TikTok and on Instagram, we're doing a giveaway of 11,500 coins each. If you could do the math faster, you could read.
03:47:25 Pretty quickly, it's 23,000 coins. Overall, that's a lot of skins. That is a lot of good stuff in Apex Legends. So make sure to follow us and just comment and be involved in the community. I think one comment will qualify you for being randomly chosen, and that would be really fun.
03:47:41 Text message DM to receive. All right, guys, it's been a fantastic time here hanging out with you all. We've got Americas coming up in just a couple hours to see that rivalry. But as it stands for EMEA, Empire has reclaimed the throne. Exciting to see where Arctic and that team will flow from. From everybody on broadcast, myself, Rayday, Onset, Gaskin, our team behind the scenes in Esports, Engine, Respawn, and EA, we remind you to never give up, never stop gaming, and we will see you all.
03:48:11 für die Amerikas.
