Einleitung und Überblick über die ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Pro League

00:04:59

00:04:59 Welcome again to our Apex Legends Global Series, and it's Match Day 3, which marks the end of our first round robin, but also marks the beginning of these two teams, these two groups that have not faced each other yet. It was Group A who had the back-to-back doubleheader, and we saw the Falcons rise above the competition and soar to a first place.

00:05:20 In this day, we'll do the same. We're about to find out. My name is Randy. I'm your host. I hope you all watching at home are enjoying this day of Apex Legends action. It is time to get it on. And of course, I got to do it with some colleagues of mine that have been here in EMEA. We had a great broadcast. We're back for North America. Let's introduce them. First off, it's on set. Mark Hatcher, great day in EMEA. Can North America follow up? We'll have to find out. I love having the best seat in the house for this, by the way. Just sat here watching all these games.

00:05:49 Very, very excited. First time casting North American since all of the roster mania, the carnage, the org swaps, all of this madness that's gone down. And that's before we even talk about Season 21 and all of that's brought as well. So very excited to get back on the mic today. I think we're going to have some great games. Yeah, we have such a great roster of talent who show up during this Pro League, but you couldn't, you know, really replace just the duo that's been together for so long. And of course, I'm talking about your partner in crime, Dan Gaskin as well. Your first take, your first look.

00:06:18 This new North America. Yeah, we don't necessarily have the big hitters based off what we've seen so far today or previously in the first match weeks, but I think that could change here today because now there is an opening for everyone to try and kind of rise to the top, say, all right, we don't have anyone sponging the points. We don't have the pressure maybe from some of these big sides that have those expectations. North America never disappoints.

00:06:41 It is an interesting thing as we set the table, the landscape, so to speak, however you will, for what North America has shown us so far. It has been a Falcons SSG-dominated series, and it's been a doubleheader with Group A, looking like the Group of Death was showing it as well. But now it's B and C, and let's get into what has occurred here, because as things change, we see changes across all of these groups. And now...

00:07:06 Just from the basic changes, we see 8Gang going to Empire Gaming. So the one simple name change will lead us into today's match day. So keeping things relatively simple for those who are tracking that squad. Empire Gaming will join 19 other teams though, guys. And as we take a look...

00:07:27 und ich bin sicher, dass sie bereit sind. Und boy, haben wir viele interessante Gespräche, die in-game und aus-game haben, zwischen den Spieler und Teams und all der lustige Drama, das wir lieben, das wir lieben, etwas extra.

00:07:53 Meaning to these games and the results of them, right? Because if you're one of these players who's been spouting a few words, then you've got to back it up with some performances. And I'm very excited to see this. I mean, there's so much to talk about. You can literally pick any name, any team off of this, and there's something to talk about with the season they've had so far. And we've only had two match days. I think that's the wonderful thing, right? We have so much more to learn. And you keep looking at teams as we head over to the overall standings that have performed. But you also look at this other narrative.

00:08:20 Und es wird immer schwieriger zu sehen, dass die Teams zusammengekommen sind. Komplexity und DSG-Falcons auch. Aber so far, Team Falcons, SSG, NRG, alle von Group A haben sich in den Top-Spot gehalten. Aber NRGs, das sieht aus wie das könnte, speziell bis zu CCE. Dan, wenn du wirklich an das, da sind viele Teams, die müssen die Top-7-Spot werden, wenn einige Teams performen hier in B versus C.

00:08:48 Ja, und das ist was ich mit den Heavy-Hitern, mit den zwei an den Topen zu haben, aber ich denke, dass es ebenso wichtig ist, dass du heute performierst, so dass du die Liedern kannst. Jetzt wissen Sie, dass sie nicht mehr involviert werden. Oblivion, da in Touching Distance, wirklich. Sie haben sehr gut gemacht, so far. Wir sehen uns mehr von LG. Können sie etwas tun? FURIA, für zum Beispiel, eine Gruppe, das könnte eine große Leistung geben. Und, als immer, EYES will be trainiert auf TSM.

00:09:16 Not Moist have performed excellently in the scrims between B and C, so I'm expecting big things from them today as well. And you can't really blame any of these teams who might not have had the best day in their first debut, because it was, of course, against two teams who were just neck and neck taking a lot of those points. Point sponging, I think it's a great term, meaning those top two teams taking the majority of the points available in that lobby, so all these other teams really weren't able to separate themselves or climb up off of any huge...

Diskussionen und Beobachtungen zu Teams und Strategien

00:09:45

00:09:45 Now, as we look at the overview, we've now got to focus in, fellas, on what is going to be the storyline heading in today. And I know, Marc, you've been eyeing a few teams who have been, you know, doing a little bit midweek. Yeah, it's certainly been some conversations that have been had. I'm looking at SKD, I'm looking at TSM, and the players, and not just players, coaches as well, who have had a little bit of a back and forth, shall we say.

00:10:09 I've got to say, I'm not really one for drama myself, but this one pulled me in. You had Verhulst with some, shall we say, some strong words, some truth in there, I'm sure, about Raven and Raven responding in kind.

00:10:22 Zab join in TSM seem to be figuring out a little bit of the IGLing.

00:10:51 und haben ein bisschen mehr Erfolg in Scrims als wir vorher hatten. Aber ein Team ist Liquid Alienware. Der Grund ist, wenn Liquid, in meiner Meinung nach, starten eine neue Meta, eine neue Split, oder was es vielleicht.

00:11:05 It sometimes takes them a little bit of time to get going. And you were seeing that in scrims and you had some crazy conversations, people saying, hey, maybe this is Liquid falling off a little bit. Maybe Liquid aren't going to have the performance that we expect from them. Well, I think after that first match day, they put a few of those questions to bed. And I think the more and more games that this team get under their belt, the more they learn about how they want to approach, not just the lobbies that they're playing with, but also the meta itself, how they get their heads around it and how they want to perform.

00:11:32 A team I want to keep an eye on and a team that maybe has been performing under expectations is disguised. Is everything okay in the camp?

00:11:40 The way they're going, the direction they're going, is that what we want to see from a team like Disguised after how close they've been to the very top throughout several different competitions so far? I think that we need to see a response today, just as we had in Amir earlier on when you see a team like 07 who struggled but then bounced back. We know that Disguised are more than capable of doing so, and I'm excited to see what they offer today when we don't have the two biggest teams taking up all of the points. On the flip side, someone who maybe is overachieving or a team that we didn't really

00:12:09 Oblivion! Ich meine, wir wussten was sie, wir wussten was sie, wir wussten was sie, wir wussten was sie, wir wussten was sie, aber sie waren so nahe zu gewinnen, wenn es nicht für eine kurze, letzte, sechs-game-Games-Performance ist es, sie könnten auf der, sie könnten auf der, sie könnten auf der, sie könnten auf die Punkte, von Falcons und Spacestation.

00:12:26 Sie haben sehr gut in Scrims gespielt, in 3rd place, nur kurz von NotMoist und Complexity gespielt, so ich denke, dass sie die Real-Deal sind. Sie können mit der Besten compete, und ich würde mich nicht beherrscht, wenn sie ein Team in der Top-Lobby sind, nachdem es alles getan ist. Es ist ein Team zu halten, für beide Gründe. Sie sind für ein bisschen anders, aber hier, Oblivion, haben sie gut gespielt, und ich hoffe, dass es noch mehr so ist.

00:12:51 Rinde, ich denke, wenn du auf Oblivion und was sie geschafft haben, zu tun es, mit den Falken und Falken zu machen, macht es sogar mehr impressionant. Ich persönlich möchte auf Oblivion highlighten, und eine von den Elementen, was sie so gut macht, ist die Sache, dass sie ein drei-team swap sind. Normalerweise, wenn du ein swap wie dieses, oder in ein major sport, ein team ist kind of giving away assets für ein long-term play, und zwei teams, vielleicht ein team, ist die big, immediate...

00:13:20 Now SSG obviously let go of their roster, Frex went away, and Phoney stayed at the head of that, adding in Zainu and Koifel to round out a team that performed basically second.

00:13:35 And almost beat Falcons, the Super Team, overall in their first two matchdays. But then you look at Oxygen Esports, where Frex lands. And you say, wow, Oxygen Esports, fourth as well. They played well, and maybe Frex's leadership, his position, fits really well with Aiden and Vayne. But then you look at who left with Aiden and Vayne. Oxygen Esports, a team that got third in the championships just a year ago. Well, it's Reeds. And Reeds finds his way onto Oblivion with Aimbot and Blinks. Blinkzer, I still don't know how to say it.

00:14:04 I apologize for that one. The R throws me at the very end. And really, I think ultimately creates a team that all three teams got a little bit better. And Mark, that's a rarer version of these kind of swaps that happen in Rostermania. But it seems like for North America, that's how it's panned out, at least up until now.

00:14:21 Ja, ich denke, es ist ein sehr guter Punkt. Es ist sehr, sehr rare, dass ihr alle alle sagen, oh, das ist kind of working out. Es ist eigentlich jemand, die sich um, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh,

00:14:48 Even though it's a small data pool at the moment, it seems early on that the signs are good. It certainly does. And, you know, the signs of North America, there were so many. You know, people obviously still holding the ones for TSM, now holding Falcons. New teams able to kind of get that fandom going again. But I really want to kind of take a look at who drafted what POIs, because that's been another conversation piece that has not neglected North America. It's been ever-present across all of our regions. Dan.

Analyse der Point of Interest (POI) Drafts und Teamstrategien

00:15:17

00:15:17 You know, this is always and now will be a major part of the ALGS moving forward.

00:15:22 Yeah, as trends are going, Skywest is still the most popular pick when it comes to a POI. So the fact that SKD had the opportunity to do so, they take that straight away. But of course, it means they will have a worse pick on Stormpoint. Some interesting selections. TSM taking Climatizer East. You could argue that is the second most popular POI. So the fact that Edge didn't go for that, they went for Monument instead, which is down and around seventh in terms of the ADP, the average draft pick. So clearly it's a comfort pick.

00:15:51 you'd imagine for edge or they went for a storm point pick first that's where you've got to consider here so it is definitely interesting seeing who's taking what but certainly those first three we have to keep an eye on and mark you know sometimes it doesn't tell the story that adp that average uh placement of where you end up getting your draft and where you end up placing overall in the game and getting points from it you know that doesn't always tell the story sometimes teams outperform like you know the location that they get

00:16:19 Ja, wir sahen in EMEA, wir sahen Skyhook Zones und wir sahen Teams mit Big Maud, die das Spiel gewonnen haben.

00:16:27 The draft is one thing, your POI is one thing, but how you approach the game and how you execute in-game is completely another. So one thing to point out here, LG, Lava Fissure, very comfortable pick for them. The Geyser is going to be for Boar, usually that's one that you look at as a little bit of a weaker one. Team Liquid having the Dome as well, I wonder if they're going to have a little bit of stacks as well available and they're going to try and take both. But one thing about Team Liquid, they usually play from launch side, so I think that playing from this side of the map for them is going to be very comfortable.

00:16:54 Und hier ist ein großer Überblick, wo sie standen für Matchday Nr. 3. Groups B und C auf World's Edge. Sie sehen es hier, ein Shoutouts von C9. Over at Overlook, Geyser ist es, Bore. Und Sie sehen Empire und Mod, und all den Weg zu der leften, ein Team wie SKD. Sie werden in Skywest sein.

00:17:12 Right outside near Lava Fissure will be LG and DSG down at the bottom at launch site. We'll continue to track that because Stormpoint will show a different story as well for those drop spots. But overall, I think we have seen an interesting dynamic develop, Dan. And I feel like this is one that I'm really excited about. Where at the outset, as we get ready for the game and players just loading up. So we're just giving you guys a little bit of info at the top before we jump in. Trust me, we are ready to go as well.

00:17:40 At the start of this season, when this was announced...

00:17:43 It felt very short before these players had to go. A little bit of an uproar. But I think anybody who's given a pop quiz right before they step into class is going to feel a little bit like, come on, teach. I would have loved to know when this is coming. But it ended up being an overwhelmingly positive response by both the players and I think the fans as well and helped the game. What's your take on just the way teams have maybe started viewing it and then now have transitioned into the actual value, Dan, that this POI draft has brought to the air?

00:18:13 It is funny because you get the natural echo chamber where the pro players didn't like it at first, so some of the audience were like, well, if they don't like it...

00:18:20 I don't like it either. But then some of the pro players, after scrimming in it, were like, actually, this does change things. This maybe does make it more exciting, not just to watch, but to play as well. And we are starting to see the IGLs really be able to experiment a little bit more. And they're not going through the same, maybe, tedious patterns they had before. Same old rotations, same teams they're going up against. It almost became robotic at times with how they would go through their matches. Now you have to think very quickly on your feet. Try and develop that strategy in the moment. Where are those Evo harvests?

00:18:49 ... ... ... ...

00:19:09 kind of contest down over in Lava Siphon. So they feel like they are always going to get a POI because everyone else is scared to pick anywhere at Siphon because they don't want to take that contest. So that almost gives them a freebie of where they're going to pick as well. So there's been lots of different nuances that have come out of the POI draft. Yeah, Mark, I mean, do you have similar thoughts as well as Dan? Or are you kind of anything to add to that? Because I think to me, it seems like that's right on the money in terms of the approach players had. And then now are starting to understand the value that it's bringing their game.

00:19:37 Yeah, I mean, my opinion is I love it. As soon as it came in, I was like, this is great. It's a leveling ground. But also, I think it's something that's going to separate the best from the rest, because the ability to be adaptive, to lean on your IGL, to make great calls. I mentioned it previously in the EMEA show, to have your coach doing the research on how to rotate from certain POIs, what your playable spots are, all this sort of thing, just for me, kind of expands the skill gap more than anything.

00:20:02 Eine Sache, dass ich mich sehr glücklich habe, weil es ist wie, wenn es kam, da war, da war ein bisschen viel pushback. Ich wollte nur sagen, das ist sehr gut, weil ich fühle mich genau das gleiche. Und wenn es eine große Veränderung ist, dass Leute und Teams und die größten Names sehen, es ist usually eine negative Antwort, based auf den Fakt, dass wir wirklich gut sind. So, change ist scary.

00:20:24 Ja. Ja.

00:20:49 Big shout out to Challenger Circuit as well. I think we just had one and that was pretty exciting. So make sure to check in and tune in to your favorite teams as we get ready to jump into the lobby. And the way you can do that, not just by watching our main broadcast here, is by adding a little side monitor or going there yourself to faceit.com slash watch. You can have the map screen. You can see a rotation from your favorite team. Check out Oblivion and see if they can respond with another top tier performance or maybe Liquid Alienware.

00:21:19 your favorite squad. You want to jump in and watch the squad from North America representing Mexico to see if they can get another big dub. Well, go ahead to faceit.com slash watch and you can watch the LGS your way. Well, Brain Day, Gaskin on set here as the trio for North America today. We'll be subbing in and out as the matches get ready. But match one, it is almost upon us. So I'm going to take a break and on set, Gaskin.

00:21:45 Let's get started.

Spielbeobachtungen und Team-Dynamiken in World's Edge

00:22:14

00:22:14 Ja, so all these different POIs are gonna make a big difference. Eskidae... Eskidae... Eskidae... Skid... Screw it. They've got Trials, they've got Sky West, they're gonna be more than comfortable, but interestingly, Furia have taken Sky East. Now...

00:22:38 Different from EMEA, Sky East has not been a popular choice for North America. They tend to avoid it because a lot of big teams have been maybe playing from Sky West and you feel like it is a lackluster POI position, but Furia say, actually, well, screw it. Maybe we can find some success. We have seen people do so from here and they've been rewarded. Look at that zone. We are pushing ourselves up north and it is going to be on the east side of Skyhook.

00:23:03 Yeah, they certainly have been rewarded. I want to keep my eyes on what's happening down at the other side of the map, though. Liquid Alienware, Stallions, Empire Gaming, Disguise, all extremely close. And somewhat surprising to see Liquid Alienware opting for the Dome. It's historically a pretty weak POI when it comes to your loot pool, but they do have a Survey Beacon and a Ring Console to play with, which is certainly going to help their Evo. However, just looking across, trying to see if there's any Evo Harvesters that are close to them, I think there might have been one between Stax and Dome. Yes, there was indeed. So there's a pretty good chance they're going to be able to lead.

00:23:32 mit Close to Purples, which is a wonderful place to start, even though, historically, the Dome hasn't been a great POI. But one team who loves to play Zone is going to be Native Gaming, and welcome back to the best 6 out of 10 in the world. It is RKN. I'm going to say, don't use in-jokes, but that's an in-joke, everybody.

00:23:51 Naive Gaming, wenn sie wirklich in dieser Position wollen, vielleicht außerhalb der Vault-Tunnel, für jetzt. Es könnte ein sehr populares Position sein. Die Vault-Tunnel, in generell, könnte für Late-Game sein sein können, wenn sie das Circle beurteilen können. Und sie können Kontrollen mit einem Wottson nehmen. Das ist ein Vorteil von Wottson als Kontrollen.

00:24:10 ... ... ... ... ...

00:24:32 Not good news for them. Good news, however, for the likes of Furia, like you mentioned. The only problem, I think, for Furia, though, is that they don't have a ring console, so this is a little bit of a guessing game for them about where they want to play. The edges, they're going to be flying over their heads in towards Skyhook East, and it's already, you can see, a little bit of confusion by where this zone is going, according to those teams who have managed to pick up a ring console, and those who haven't. Yeah, a few teams that moved early kind of made a decision, but then have...

00:24:58 It looks like they changed their mind last minute because a lot of teams move to one direction over towards Skyhook and then they've backed off down either to the vault tunnel or the train track tunnel. Maybe because they realize that this is a difficult one to call and you have to try and play somewhere that has a little bit more cover and the room to maneuver out of that position if the zone does shift in an unorthodox way.

00:25:19 But there are a lot of teams that are just going to have to play the late game here. You spoke about Liquid Alienware down at Dome. By the way, the Dome is the least popular POI pick out of every POI in Worlds Edge. So I think you brought up a good point. Playing from the southeast is something that they're comfortable with. So it doesn't really matter for them. They're one of the few teams who probably will be more than happy to have the Dome. And one team who it sounds strange to say because obviously there is some history about talking about TSM a lot.

00:25:48 I am more than aware, everybody. It's good to have fun and poke fun at yourself sometimes. But isn't really talked about as maybe...

00:25:55 Someone who can win a land anymore, which to me seems absolutely wild. You know, the fall off of, shall we say, appreciation for what TSM have as a team is mind-boggling to me. You've got two players here who have won championships, who have won the AOGS championship, and early on here you're seeing them doing some good damage onto C9 in the train tunnel. Yeah, you have to give respect where it's due, even though the IGL takes a lot of kind of the decision-making process.

00:26:22 Losing one of the best IGLs in the world is always going to hurt initially, but now you have the chance to prove yourselves. And TSM, both Verholz and Rep, stepping up together here to kind of show what they're made of and show that there is a life past Imperial Howl. And I'm sure they'll want to prove everyone wrong when they do eventually get to LAN, if they get to LAN. But of course, at the moment, Traction going pretty well. They'll be pretty happy with how everything's been going. I would expect them to be there with players of that caliber.

00:26:48 It's interesting as well. I mentioned the drama. Oh, you can see some drama taking place right now. As you can see, Temper making a little move up and it's going to be one of the Not Moist players who gets caught off this time. And it's very strange to see early on. We've seen a few players being a little bit split from their teams and getting caught out almost immediately. So Not Moist now, they've got some decisions to make. Do we go for the banner? Do we try and get that res? But they've already backed up to a point where it's like, it looks like they're just giving this one up. They're going to think about it maybe in a little bit of time, but...

00:27:15 I just wanted to go back to the conversation I was just kind of alluding to previously. You know, TSM, there's been some talk, right? Verhofst said some words, some strong words, which was somewhat surprising. I was going to say, out of all of the players in the ALGS, Mr. Positive Play, I didn't expect it from him.

00:27:32 A strong man with a strong body and now strong words to go alongside said body, right? He's grown in confidence as he's got older and yeah, sometimes I want to see more of that stuff. I want to see players saying how they feel so that we can get a good indication of their personality and what it would mean to them if they do find a victory, not only for themselves, but over other teams as well. Now, a team we haven't mentioned at the top of the show, LG. Still, I think this is one of the most stacked rosters we have in North America and I have high expectations of this team, not just in

00:28:02 Ja, und was ein pick-up Sykes ist, richtig? Ich meine, ich habe nicht zu sagen, er ist ein von der besten Kontroll-Player in der Welt und ich versuche das Liste ganz klein, und er ist sicherlich in der Welt. Ich meine, seine Performance ist, ich glaube nicht, er hat jemanden auf den Team, er ist wirklich ein Stand-Out-Player und er hat so viel Slaying-Power zu dieser LG-Squad, aber eine Team, die in der Form von einem Rezbeakten braucht, und vielleicht auch ein Players-Beakten, ist...

00:28:28 Ich denke, wenn NGNL kann sein, kann es ein sehr commanding sein.

00:28:55 Du kannst ein paar Leute sehen, aber sie müssen nur auf die Höhe der Höhe zu sein. Wir sehen, dass viele Leute die Höhe von ihnen nehmen. Sie sehen, in der Kielfeest, Sykes hat sich gerade auf den Kielfeest. Und die Skidders, in der Moment, sind gerade etwas verdammt. Das ist die Team-Name von jetzt auf. Put it on a T-Shirt, die Skidders sind hier, everybody. SKD!

00:29:16 Managing to pinch LG, who just took too long in that fight. We always talk about it, right? And then what's the benefit of a Watson? It can delay fight. You get those fences down, you have that gen. You don't have to do too much. You can take a bit of poke damage, but no one can push. Because by the time they close that gap, the gen usually gets your shields back up. So you're in a position to fight. So LG have got to reassess a little bit here. Two of them still alive.

00:29:38 Was Vanity do hold down that truck, but are they going to be able to get Sykes back in? It looks like they're going to have to give up on this banner. It might be a little bit of a rough game one here for LG. Yeah, I guess that's been one of the biggest changes with the meta shifting away from support legends. Like we don't see the conduits now. We see far less lifelines as well. So you're not getting the ability to be able to craft the banner. And now LG are going to be from two down to one. And Sweet's just going to have to play the rat game here as Bangalore.

Strategische Wendungen und Team-Entscheidungen im Mid- bis Late-Game

00:30:05

00:30:05 One of the better legends to rap with, but will he get the opportunity to do so? Well, Sweet's going to have to get comfortable being uncomfortable because it was Designful who hit that shot with the Sentinel. Designful, of course. Had a little, shall we say, a short holiday on TSM as they were trying out in the off-season to build up. Decided to stay with DSG. And now needs to produce some results alongside it because, like you mentioned at the top of the show, very, very disappointing day number one for them.

00:30:32 Führer, of course. Madness, by the way, I want to give a little bit of a shout out. He's had a pretty serious injury, but he's playing through the pain barrier at the moment. I'm sure he's going to get that looked at very, very soon, but always rough to see when someone, unfortunately, has to play through the pain, so to speak. But he's here today. He's playing through it. As we now turn our attention away from where the zone is towards epicenter, because Stallions and Complexity have a little wave at each other.

00:30:56 Ich bin nicht sicher, wenn du Madness über seine Ex-Team-Mates hast, würde ich sagen, dass er durch Pain ist, aber jetzt wird es physikalische Pain sein. Das ist sicher. Komplexity, übrigens, hat es gut gemacht in den B-Vs-C-Scrims gesehen, dass wir ein paar Tage später sehen können. Wenn sie sogar noch ein bisschen mehr von dem Erfolg haben können...

00:31:13 They will be on track to pick up some big points here today. The way they were able to maneuver their way around the map and dominate fights, not just from a distance, but even in some close range battles as well, I was very impressed with how they took on some of their 3v3s. So expect more of the same from them, but at the moment, it's moving from the far east, which is going to be quite difficult. A lot of open ground to cover from Epicenter. The likes of NGNL are going to be holding them out. They'll have a little bit of high ground over them, and they have a few teams to their north as well.

00:31:39 Tempura haben bereits gewonnen, einen der Spieler zu Red Evo zu haben, so der Partei ist ziemlich gut. Wir haben ihn in der Falle gewonnen, als auch. Wir haben das auch geplantiert. Flatter ist in der Fragment, als auch. Wir sind einfach nur noch knuckle-down für den Moment, weil sie haben die Caustik in der Composition und sie nicht wirklich wollen, dass sie das fighten haben. Ich bin nicht sicher, dass sie die Armour-Checks auf dem Tempura haben, dass sie sehr gefährdeten werden, wenn es zu diesem Fall war. Aber Monument?

00:32:08 It's gonna be safe for now, but in around two seconds time when that zone closes, I think they might be in for somewhat of a surprise and they're gonna be forced to move. Yeah, a lot of teams are gonna

00:32:16 ... ... ... ... ...

00:32:40 So it pulls away from the train tracks, like you say, towards that open ground. It's a very difficult spot to play from. And NGNL, like you say, in a very good spot. But it's going to be tough for them to hold it down, especially with the... We always talk about how the trucks are, like, good for temporary cover. But when it gets towards the endgame, unless you've got a Watson gen in there and you can stop it from being destroyed, it's pretty easy to nade out and put serious damage down. But back to native gaming and back to the bolt tunnel, because they are getting scanned.

00:33:07 And elsewhere you can see that Tempo are taking a fight, and it's not going too well for them at the moment. Spades has gone down, so it's up to Cloat. And they do get to try and even this out a little bit. They did manage to get one knock, so Cloat is taking a lot of damage, and as he's popping the Beast of the Honey, it looks like he's popping out of this fight. Yeah, it's Flat that's on the other side, but also Empire out in the area to third party this, and you can see that...

00:33:30 NaNo ist nur die Möglichkeit, um sie wieder zurückzunehmen, um sie zu spielen. Vielleicht werden sie die Möglichkeit als 3, aber ich bin nicht sicher, dass sie die Zeit haben. Schott kommen in durch die Tür, also. So, eine Angle ist ein schlechtes Angle für Flatt. Sie haben nicht gewusst, dass sie noch nicht auszunehmen. NaNo ist noch ein Spieler zurückzunehmen, aber sie wissen, dass sie auch andere Teams in der Facilität haben.

00:33:57 Well, DSG, lots of acronyms these days in Apex Legends, isn't there? Three-letter acronyms, it's getting a little bit out of hand. Just makes life even more difficult for us, or even more fun, depends how you want to look at it. Now, Empire, they realize the zone is going to be closing in, Tempur do get eliminated, but Empire have to keep moving north, and they were reluctant to push in for this very reason. If they had pushed in and taken that fight, the likelihood is they would have been eating that zone.

00:34:22 They're gonna have the evac disguise now moving up flat have been eliminated in the meantime enemy though He's gone down to the ring and guilders. Excuse me. He's done a bit of damage to guild and guild has now gone down to the ring So it's another potential kp that might be secured here as not moist try and creep their way in it looks like unfortunately that will be the Solo player that will have to try and play the game out for not moist Empire gaming will be eliminated in the meantime as well And now you're gonna see one of those zones because of the lack of cover lack of playable area

00:34:51 You're gonna see a lot of action take place in the next zone close, where we'll probably lose half of this lobby. Speaking of zone though, Liquid Alienware, they're fang center of it at the moment, and we mentioned how the dome, maybe not the best of POIs, well, they've made it work. They have made it work, as long as it's from that southeast side, they seem to be comfortable. You can see Disguise rocking their traditional wraith composition as well, and it's a circle like this where you wonder, will it hurt having that wraith, not having a controller legend that can maybe just allow you to create some fake cover?

00:35:20 oder eine solche Position, dass man einen Platz hat. Instead, man hat die Ability zu Traverse in die Zone mit dem Wraith-Portlust. Complexity, von der Eastern-Side. Man muss ein bisschen nach hier, und ist ein guter Schmerz. Oh, das ist DSG. Oh, ich denke, haben sie einfach durch den Wraith-Portlust. Und das ist der Wraith-Portlust, der Designful war, als er kam durch den Wraith-Portlust. Komplexity, die DSG zu kommen durch den Wraith-Portlust.

00:35:46 Kim Chi took a little bit of damage himself on the catalyst and Lu did a really good job I will say after getting that initial knock and seeing the other two players come through to get in a position where he managed to retreat and not get taken down by the following two players but back through the portal DSG go and even though the Zion 4 did get knocked

00:36:03 11 Teams sind in der nächsten Türkel. Die Killfeed wird sicher sein. Furia wird sicher sein. Furia ist ein Team mit einem Team in den Südwesten. Es gibt drei Teams in den Südwesten. Aber wenn sie auf den Norden gehen können, dann können sie einfach in die Zone gehen. Und die Konflikt werden einfach auf den Südwesten gehen.

00:36:26 Speaking of edging your way into zone, here come the Edges. They've just hit an evac themselves and they're trying to get into the zone themselves. Designful now, trying to avoid this frag grenade. Takes a lot of damage though. Is he going to be able to get in a position to heal here? Is anybody going to look at him or is everybody too busy themselves to allow him to get away? Maybe a KP opportunity. The spray isn't great and that will be the end of DSG. EEC, as a 2, managed to clean up those final pieces.

Endgame-Analyse und TSMs Dominanz in Spiel 1

00:36:50

00:36:50 Still four more teams there on this western side that all have to move in. Cloud9, Edges, Furia all taking fights. Vanity get eliminated now. Complexi, though, have found a home on the southern side. And not only are they comfortable from the east, but they are holding out teams on the west as Edges and Furia and the Skidders go down. Night squads now remain. Just a note as well, by the way, LG.

00:37:10 Sie sind still alive, sie sind in der Center Zone und all diese Fights, die auf der Edge sind, die LG wird ein paar Placement Points geben für sie selbst. So ein tolles Job, nach dem Sikes zu verlieren, für sie immer noch ein Teil dieses Spiel zu sein und in die Endgame. Cloud9 haben wir in der meantime, und als wir in der POV des TSM kommen, kommen wir in die Coms.

00:37:32 Ich bin mit dir, aber ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir. Ich bin mit dir.

00:37:52 Wir haben den ganzen Lobby für einen Sekunden. Wir haben den TSM und Komplexität, einen Sounden mehr positiv als den anderen.

00:38:13 Natürlich hat er. Well, Complexity, they will be holding that southern side. NGNL will be their next target, by the way. But elsewhere, you can also see the Stallions eyeing up board on the northern tip. The winner of that...

00:38:24 Das fight, oder das fight, das ist zu passieren, würde die Norden-Tip halten, aber sie werden dann wahrscheinlich werden von Liquid-Alienware werden, die, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der, von der.

00:38:45 Decentes Spray mit der Havoc. Der Turbo hat es auch. So, no wind-up. Time for him. Trying to push that team away. Trying to force them into the carnage that's happening in front of your very eyes. And TSM are looking to take advantage of the damage that's done. They move in. They clean up some Nox. They clean up...

00:38:59 Yeah, you mentioned LG, but it is just a one, of course, and TSM will be on the other side of that. Now TSM will hold the entire western side here and put themselves in one of the better spots, one of the better positions, because the entire eastern side is taken up by the remaining four teams. Three teams now, excuse me, as Liquid Alienware go down.

00:39:29 Und Reps ist so viel zu tun mit dem Knuckle-Kloss. Du hast ihn einen oder zwei Spieler gewonnen. Es war ein Rekoschett, und er war einfach nur auf, auf und es war einfach nur auf, auf und es war einfach nur auf diese Teams zu nehmen. Komplexität zu 2. Und Argstar macht es ein bisschen mehr Unkomfortabel. Und jetzt sind sie burning. Jetzt sind sie Hörten.

00:39:48 Es ist Kimchee, er hat einen Schild sell-off, aber es ist Repto, er ist der absolute Beste. LG ist ein 1, Komplexity ist ein 2. Das ist TSM's Spiel in der bag. Sie sicherlich würden es nicht wegwerfen von dieser Position, aber sie müssen es gut spielen. SWEET, dass er eine Weak-Player ist, dass er könnte, dass er K.P. und er 2nd Platz ist, und er will es zu pushen, aber TSM will... Sie ist das Tor, und sie werden es auch pushen! Es ist ein 1v1, TSM wird das Spiel gewinnen, aber...

00:40:13 LG managed to secure second place thanks to the rap play coming in from Sweet, but T.S.M. Do not forget about this lineup. They are still here to win.

00:40:26 Es ist eine TeamName, das hat gesagt, in das manor, viele, viele, viele, aber es hat eine andere Farbe zu sein, mit all den Changes. Aber sie sind sicherlich, dass sie ihre Dominanz in Match 1 sind. Eine fantastische Rotation und eine sehr gut-spielte Scenario aus dem Westen, auch. Es war NGNL der größte Threat, der größte Problem. NGNL hält das Position auf den Traintracks für sehr lange Zeit, aber TSM hat sie gewonnen, sie hat das Position gewonnen, sie hat das Position gewonnen, sie hat das Position gewonnen.

00:40:51 Everything kind of unfolded on that eastern side. There were so many teams that just slowly were maraudering their way into the zone. And it's so difficult to do so in a zone that's like that. Very open, not much position to play. Yeah, you're looking back on that game from TSM and you don't really see many mistakes, right? The rotators were really, really strong.

00:41:08 Timing on their fights and their third parties look really, really good as well. And like you say, by winning that fight on the western side of the zone, it just meant that everything else was kind of taking care for them as the other teams fought. So very, very impressive. I would say Reps always looks like he's having fun when he's on Fuse as well. It always makes me very happy as well to see Reps playing a character who has the ability to be aggressive and kill people as well. Because too long has that man been held back. I know he was playing Bangalore a lot. Don't worry. I'm not like the world's shortest return memory. But...

00:41:36 Still, my point stands. No chains on him. He's unleashed and seems to be paying off as well. I think the entire TSM fanbase will be delighted to see them on top in this one. They're not going to get too ahead of themselves because it's only one win. But when you look at what happened in scrims with B versus C, TSM weren't really in the conversation, but they've shown that scrims are there for a reason. It's a chance to practice, a chance to try and test things out, but they seem to have found a composition that's comfortable for them. And also their move from their POI seems to have worked as well.

00:42:03 Ja, sehr, sehr gut. Und du hast, glaube ich, eine gute Indikation von was Fuse kann eigentlich bringen zu einem Team. Es ist manchmal sehr easy zu vergessen, was eine Legend. Weil wir so used zu sehen, bestimmte Compositions.

00:42:17 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

Nachbetrachtung von Spiel 1 und Ausblick auf Spiel 2

00:42:46

00:42:46 Es war ein sehr guter Start für Oblivion, die hatten so eine gewöhnliche 1st-Match-Week waren, aber sie waren einfach nicht so gut, denn Native Gaming kind of caught sie aufgarten. Disguise hat nicht so viel, aber sie hat 3 Kills auf dem Board, sodass sie nicht mit nichts gehen. Aber ich will immer das Frage, wie die Komposition die Komposition affect sie hier? Will das Wraith beurteilen sie?

00:43:10 Will it struggle because of it? There's always going to be niche scenarios where it's good and some scenarios where it's very bad, and that's the beauty of Apex Legends. Let's take a look at some of the stats from our match winners then. TSM, here's the damage dealt, and you can see no surprise to see reps at the top there using Fuse to his fullest to make sure that he is knuckle clustering everybody who dares to lock eyes with him. Easy damage for him to pick up, but two kills alongside the four assists. Verholt, five kills for him as well on the Bangalore. We're going to have to see if they can do it in match two. TSM on...

00:43:39 We're going to take a quick break though. When we get back match number two is going to be live and we'll find out for ourselves. Alienware is the official PC and monitor partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

00:45:29 Und Gaskin hier auf dem Mic, bereit zu gehen. Wir sind einfach viel Spaß. Ich versuche mich zu Namen zuerst.

00:45:38 Ah, das ist so gut. Es ist nicht sehr oft, dass wir zu Break Rain Day haben, aber wenn es passiert ist, es ist Historisch. Die meisten Professionale in der Welt. Du hast ihn gegründet, endlich. Aber es ist ein Glück, es ist zu sein. Oh, das ist gut, das ist gut. Das war viel Spaß. Ja, um, so, es ist einfach, man. Manche Dinge passieren, man. Manche Dinge gehen und gehen und gehen, und das ist wie wir es machen. Manche du musst, und ich will das Gespräch, das war hilarious. Dan Gaskin, um...

00:46:07 Und wir werden... Ich bin jetzt noch ein... Ich bin jetzt noch ein... Ich kann nicht sagen meinen Namen! Ich kann nicht sagen meinen Namen! Ich kann nicht sagen meinen Namen! Ich kann nicht sagen meinen Namen!

00:46:32 And it looked like for a while we might have seen a team like Complexity find the win, but it was TSM who dominated that western side. And as soon as they saw it, it was just a lovely jubbly scenario of only two solos left. The inevitable was there, but hats off to LG. Sweet being able to pick up second place as a rat and getting a kill onto Kimchi. A brilliant game all round.

00:46:55 I didn't realise how long I was going to have to hold it for. You better hope that map 2 is going to be ready here soon by the way. Oh man, this is just great. This is just great. This is like the best day ever. I never thought I would get to see this day happen. Just because Dan keeps trying to go back in, I gotta shift somehow into it. You're not laughing. You're just going straight into analysis. You can't do maps like this, man. We gotta find a rhythm. Okay.

00:47:24 I'm back. Deep breath. The break has occurred. We are having fun. It's North America. I'm never going to say my name again. In Match 2, we're going to go to World's Edge. TSM with a big win. I mean, let's get back to the actual big story here. It is TSM who have found a win. And you guys brought up so many points on the story of not having Hal. And obviously saying, well, now this team can't win LAN. Who are they? There's still two LAN winners.

00:47:49 We like to have a good time.

00:48:15 Exactly, we want some action now. And I will say, Verhof ist backing up the words that he did say as well. That was a question, you know, if you're going to have comments like that on social media, can you back them up once you get into the game? And certainly right now, it has been proven in match number one. But now heading into match number two, are we going to see more of the same? Zone-wise, I think we're going to head south by the looks of it from what I can see. But everyone dropping in from their POI that has been selected.

TSM's Dominanz und DSG's Herausforderungen

00:48:43

00:48:43 And we'll have to see if anyone can stop TSM in their ascendancy after map number one. Another big conversation, you know, around it was some of these other big name teams and DSG. I'm sure that you, you know, alluded to the fact that sometimes there's a team in terms of momentum that just doesn't start off with it, a team we expect to get there at the end of the season. But this DSG roster, you know, having a chance to look at what happened when, you know, the, I guess, the results of HAL leaving to Falcons and joining the team.

00:49:12 Was das wirklich was, was das wirklich was they got over in a week? Was that really something that, you know, going back as Designful went in and then came back to DSG, had any lasting impact? Is that maybe one of the elements of...

00:49:28 Wir wissen, warum es eine slow start ist, um das Rhythm in zu gehen, um nicht einfach zu gehen, mit confidence zu werden. Ich weiß nicht, Dan, aber es ist natürlich nicht so, dass es nicht so, was es einfach zu verbessern. Aber es ist auch ein Teil der Business als auch. Es ist natürlich nicht so, dass diese Spieler, natürlich, nicht zu geben. Das könnte ein großer Teil sein, um, für einen der größten Orgs-Org in der Szene.

00:49:52 Ja, ich denke, dass es zwei manchen kann. Der Truss kann sich verletzt, wenn ein Team-Mate versucht, für eine andere Team-Squad. Aber es wurde versucht, es wurde testet und dann kam er wieder zurück. Es war quasi wie, ich sah was auf der anderen Seite der Fence und die Grasse war nicht greener. So, ich entschuldige, wir gehen wieder zurück. Wir haben ein bisschen Zeit verloren, aber...

00:50:12 So, you know, and one of the things too is, I mean, if you just going back to put a period onto that point and maybe, you know, continue the conversation if we see it or if someone else brings it up later, but...

00:50:37 Ich meine, wenn du das in einer relationship oder in einer interpersonale relationship bist, das wäre eine sehr schwierige Pille zu verwenden. Ich habe mich und habe meine andere Optionen gesehen, und dann habe ich heraus, dass niemand wirklich war. Und so ich bin zurück zu dir. Es ist nicht wirklich, dass er das gemacht hat, aber Business hat die same...

00:50:52 Das ist auch ein Problem, dass die Zayn und Amphi so wichtig ist, dass sie alle checken, dass sie das Honesty, das Openness haben. Sie haben kleine Dinge in der backen, die nicht getrennt werden. Das ist eine Sache, das könnte in diesen späteren Moment kommen, und das vielleicht nicht, dass es die Energie flogen, wenn man braucht, und man braucht es.

00:51:17 Das ist gesagt, wir haben genug darüber gesprochen. TSM ist ein guter Platz. LG ist hinterher. Es ist eigentlich ein sehr guter Performance. Es ist ein schönes Spiel zu sein. Es ist ein schönes Spiel zu sein. Wir folgen mit Empyre Gaming. Any thoughts on LG? Was das Team wirklich, zu dir, representiert in der Chancen dieses Jahr? Ja, ich denke, ich habe es in Map Nummer 1 gesagt. LG ist voll von Superstars und da wird immer das Wichtigste erwähnt.

00:51:44 Ich denke, es ist ein Schritt für sie. Als es ein Team-Change ist, wird es ein bisschen Zeit für die Team-Change sein. Es wird ein bisschen Zeit für die Team-Change sein. Es wird ein bisschen Zeit für die Team-Change sein. Es wird ein bisschen Zeit für die Team-Change sein. Es wird ein bisschen Zeit für die Team-Change sein. Es wird nicht immer noch garantiere Result zu starten. Aber ein 2nd-Place hier für LG-Change geben wird ihnen das confidence. Als für die Komplexität, sie werden einfach... ...dass sie wieder zurückkehren.

00:52:08 But I think we're going to see a lot of teams heading south now here, Reindeer. Launch site and the surrounding areas maybe just north of it. We might see a lot of teams commit to Lava Siphon as well. Those who do have Ring Console information will certainly be moving faster than others. A team that is still kind of in the zone and looting, booting, getting info is Stallions. They're down at the dome. They've got Ring Console and Survey Beacon there. So they could be one of the teams that could potentially wait here for the extra information, move in late and perhaps take one of the better spots.

Strategische Positionierung und Team-Kämpfe

00:52:37

00:52:37 Absolutely. Liquid Alienware fighting as well. You see Eternal EC getting into the mix. Dan Mantic, Goshi Carter holding down this building. Two different ways to approach it, and they're aware of it. Holding the inside gives you a lot of options in terms of two doors to play around, plus they've got Watson and the Interception Pylon, so that's going to be valuable for them. Liquid Alienware deciding to move down below, and Yanya just shooting at an evac. They're shooting it. Someone is there.

00:53:05 And of course, 3rd place so far, a pretty good spot for them. They're trying to rotate down and just find a better spot to play off of this. They got the catalyst inside, it's going to benefit them tremendously. And the fact that they can take this here, if they want to just stay here, it's a great spot.

00:53:17 It's one of those zones where we're going to see it be a slow burner for those teams who have moved early, but there's a few positions that are going to be fought very hard for. Tooth and Nau here, you can see Native under a lot of fire. Temper on the other side, you've also got Not Moist. All these squads are in the same kind of area. They can reside near one another, but at the moment they're all competing for desirable spots, but it looks like Not Moist is saying, look.

00:53:39 Let's not take this fight. It's a stupid one. Even if we get a couple of kills, we're probably going to get thirded with the amount of squads in the area. And it does get to that point with a zone like this. There are too many teams. You can't really take a fight if it's not isolated. So instead, you have to find somewhere to call home and be patient and then see what happens when the zone pulls.

00:53:57 Timber mit der Triple Take. Und in der Hand von Kloak, aber ich glaube, der Triple Take ist eine solche Weapons, die wir gesehen haben, haben wir ein bisschen Marketshare in unserer Playoffs. Wir sprechen über etwas, was wir haben, dass es sich ein Blüchip hat. Es ist das Thermite, natürlich. Und der Sentinel auf der Hand von Monsoon. Kim Shin Lee.

00:54:21 Und Lu, sie haben ihren Weg. Sie haben Rampart gespielt in der Split-1-Freihe. Aber niemand glaubt ihre Abilität zu kämpfen. So technisch. Lu und Monsoon. Kim Chi feeling das perfekt spot. Going von coach zu player. Aber wie ich sage es, ich versuche das. Er geht aus der Distanz. Es ist Stunny, der Lüge kommt. Sie haben eine Chance zu bekommen, aber sie müssen ein bisschen magisch mit dem Katalist. Wenn er nicht in die Kategorie geht. Und er macht es in den Kategorien. Und er macht es in den Building.

00:54:50 Yeah, this is one of the kind of horrible positions that you don't really want to find yourself in in a truck like this. You can just be naded out, and especially with the rise of fuses in the lobby, it's likely that you'll be obliterated if you stay there for too long. It's a nice temporary position of Complexity, but will they stay there for the long run? They might be forced to, judging by how many teams are around them. You saw where that circle was going. Complexity will be kind of dead center of that for now. But those teams who had moved to Lava Siphon, and certainly the northern side of Lava Siphon,

00:55:16 Und er hat noch einen Knochen zu machen, als wir sehen, dass wir noch weitergehen können, und es wird TSM-Volven in diesem Fall.

00:55:45 And he's going to come up with nothing. But TSM certainly hold court here at Geyser. They're fine. They'll be able to rotate in. Still a minute and five left. They're continuing to look pretty on point today. Yeah, I wonder if it'll be a similar situation in the previous game. TSM, you know, they arrived like Gandalf in the perfect moment from the west. Is it now going to be from the east of Geyser as they slowly just move their way in, taking out team by team, play on edge, wait for that information on zone.

00:56:12 Und dann gehen wir in. Natürlich gibt es Geyser, da ist ein Ring-Console da, so sie werden das extra Info von wo die nächste Zone ist. Also, das ist gut für TSM jetzt. Jetzt noch eine squadre, die Stallions haben. Sie sehen, wie sie einfach aus der Competition in ihrer Position sind. Aber da sind viele Teams jetzt jetzt zu versuchen, zu versuchen, ihre Weise in die Zone zu versuchen. SKD ist einer von ihnen. SKD, das ist das, was ich sagen. Ihr habt euch mit 1,000 nicknames gehört. Aber du könntest auch einfach den Schubi-Dropped-and-Knockt.

00:56:41 And that might be what they're looking to get here. Another Catalyst holding down one of these trains, these train carts.

00:56:48 Das ist der 15th Position. Sie sind gut mit dem jetzt. Drops talked a lot about, you know, his journey. Going from SSG, going to Optik. Und leaving in the Position of Playoffs. Und kind of after Roster Mania, Dan. So, where his stock wasn't as high. I know I've made that reference now twice. But the truth was, he said it himself. He didn't have a lot of bargaining power going into that. And yet, we know the skill and experience this team can bring. So, a team that for sure has a lot of potential. You can really never count them out. And a good zone team as well.

00:57:17 when they get into the right spot.

00:57:21 This is what we spoke about. They're going to be moving slowly but surely. They're going to gain a little bit of speed with the redeploy now. But this evac tower is going to do one of two things. Either put them in a danger zone, because they might not necessarily be sure of where teams currently are. They just hit the survey beacon, so they will at least know this is going to be a comfortable move. But teams can move whilst they are rotating. That is always going to be their concern. Is anyone going to walk in their path? But they should be able to comfortably get on the southeast side here.

00:57:49 Alright, now we see SKD Mark trying to find their mark in game number two. 52 players left, 18 squads. We've rotated all the way south. It hasn't caused the same level of chaos, and I wonder if this is just going south a little bit easier on World's Edge, some of the toughest spots to rotate through.

Fuse's Popularität und Team-Dynamiken

00:58:11

00:58:11 Think about going through Geyser, trying to get through a lot of these chokes. Up north, very difficult. A lot of the open space of Epicenter with those high grounds to pick you off. But we've had 18 teams basically make it into what is the final zone, but pretty close to it, round three, about to commence here. And, you know, as you continue to look at these lineups, I'm loving, I'm really loving the Fuse. I mean, I really am finding that that's...

00:58:38 Das ist mein neues Favourite pick. Und ich liebe es, weil du kannst, die Möglichkeiten sind, und das ist etwas, das ist sehr counter zu den Catalyst-Player, das wir sehen jetzt. Ja, ich denke, die einzige Fuse für Fuse ist, und da gibt es nicht viele Fuse, ist, wenn du nicht zu Blu fast genug hast, wenn du eine Ring-Console hast, kann du von der Wahl-Console profitieren?

00:59:02 Most of these teams now have got so good with their pathing, finding the Evo Harvester, getting up to blue, easy peasy, that it doesn't really become a problem whatsoever. And I think it was something that we saw mentioned. Fuse is going to be popular, and it's going to get more and more popular as people realize the damage that he can do in a lobby, not with just the information gained, but also those grenades and the knuckle cluster are brutal when you are stuck in certain scenarios. McLovin, Rambo, and the squad rotating out. Furia.

00:59:33 Some shots from Vaxelon. Recently joined Madness and Keon. And they took him away from what being the intern. I think that was the joke at the time. And now... Trying to make a position. I like this spot here. Playing off the edge of tree and really being able to rotate up a few buildings there. This actually is a decent bit of height. I've seen it sometimes pull that direction. They're not really able to take too much advantage of it right now. But if you look at where LG is positioned...

01:00:02 And you look at where, you know, teams like TSM are positioned. They're fighting two different battles. One, you know, really no edge to play against. And just all back clear and everybody looking in front. LG holding a very precarious spot where they can rotate, but they've got Temper in front of them. They've got NGNL Esports and the Edgers behind them. And so it's going to be tough. They've got a lot of work to do both on the offensive front and the defensive front to hold out these teams who want to move in past them.

01:00:29 Es ist eine sehr schwierige Zeit für viele diese Teams, Eben. Liquid Alienware wird glücklich sein, Native wird glücklich sein, so ist SKD. Vielleicht Complexity, aber für alle anderen, es wird eine solche Situation sein, wo du musst deinen Weg durch ein Team sein, weil es ein vieles Open-Ground gibt, sehr ähnlich wie in Match Nummer 1. Da sind die Teams, die wirklich zu versuchen, in finden eine Position zu holen. LG wieder zu 2. Now, SWEET wurde in 2. als 1.

01:00:54 Can they do something as just a duo here? At least they're gonna be able to survive for now, but you can see NGNL and Temper are basically on the hunt here, looking to try and clean up the pieces of LG.

01:01:06 And sweet. Now fighting again with two players. It seems like what LG need to do is just make it into a top 10 here or top 7. Just all three alive. Because you could put your money on them without any lack of confidence. They know what they need to do to get it done. And obviously the Edgers as well have been a team that positionally are going to force LG into some different positions of how they're able to play. Temper's still alive as well. But all these teams, Furia? I mean...

01:01:33 Playing this side game, it's going to get more and more risky as time goes on because they all have to move and a lot of teams are just going to wait for this slaughter to happen and pick off the pieces. They're just doing some damage. Depressly needs to be careful and good cover from Hambino to toss out the smoke just to allow them to reheal.

01:01:52 Aber wenn sie gewinnen, wenn sie gewinnen, wenn sie das Engagement gewinnen, als LG geht, ist es, woher du gehst von hier ist, denn da sind drei Teams über sie. Viele Quadsen, die sich in diese Position befinden, haben sich in eine sehr schwierige Position befinden. Und ich wirklich warte für sie, wenn sie keine Evac-Tower haben, dann muss sie über sie gehen. Also, dann ist es, dass wir dann für KP-Tour gehen und vielleicht das was die Engländer sind. Die Engländer sind jetzt nicht so richtig. L-Star machen, es wird ein Trader von Nox geben, aber ist es wird genug sein?

01:02:18 Das ist die Frage, die Ärzte zu finden. Chasemob mit der Batterie in front of ihn. Er weiß, zwei Teammaten, und er ist wirklich nicht wert. Aber er hat nichts mehr zu tun. Und look at die Hälfte da. Oh mein Gott, eine gute Grenade. Ich meine, das könnte es tun. Chasemob wird aus dem, als auch, dass maybe Furi a bit, off a lot, und immer noch mit den Teammaten, zu sagen, ja.

01:02:37 Okay, they're low, they're low. You might be able to play off this. Chase says, no, not really. And actually, I think that's probably why we saw the Havoc come out and then say, no, I'm not going to risk it. They might be low, but they're not worth fighting. And I don't think I'd win that one. It's Emperor going to get Juvian back in. And this is what I was talking about, Dan, the great rotation, the great migration. It's Emperor.

FURIA's Triumph und TSM's Herausforderungen

01:02:59

01:02:59 Das ist ein Schock Callspades da mit der Kar, aber es ist jetzt eine Team-Mate zurück und jetzt all-Purple-Stand. Vielleicht wird es auch sehr gut sein, aber es wird sehr gut sein. Sehr gut, aber look at everyone, die zu ...

01:03:12 Escaped now the zone to maybe get a position underneath some of these squads, but people have started to drop like flies. Edges will go down. You can see Temper have lost a couple of players. Empire also. Stallions go down. This is just a struggle bus for anyone who wasn't already in this next zone. Eternal can hold the southern side. Complexity are now above like four different teams, by the way. There are so many squads on this northwest side that it's unlikely any of them are going to be able to escape and survive once they realize now that they all have to move southeast.

01:03:40 This is going to be tough. This kart is good, but for how long? I mean, the fact is, it's going to be...

01:03:46 Und dann werden sie noch 50 Sekunden gehen. Und so, ja, das ist gut für heute. Aber was soll man jetzt zwei Schritte machen? Und das ist alles, was alle diese Teams haben jetzt gemacht. Es fühlt sich alles ein bisschen zu lang. Und dann ist es uns vielleicht ein bisschen zu lang. Und dann ist es TSM und FURIA-FIGHTING. Und FURIA-FIGHTING und FURIA-GETTING THE BETTER END OF THAT TRADE. Es ist nur noch eine Alive. Es ist Zapto. Wir wissen Evan ist down. Und es ist FURIA-FURIA-FIGHTING.

01:04:13 Surely the god spot in a building where the zone is rotating. And so Furia have gone from all that madness and that quick rotation put him in a spot to win this game. Well, at least Reps was able to escape for TSM and might be able to survive for a little bit longer if Furia allowed that to happen. With no pressure from any other teams, though, Furia may have time just to drop down and finish off the remainder of TSM, but they're unlikely to give away that position. Now, our attention does turn to the northwest.

01:04:40 For good reason, because Oblivion, SKD, Board, Complexity, Cloud9 and Flat pretty much all are going to have to move from north to south here. And maybe one of them survives, if anyone, because you're going to have Furia and Flat and Eternal all looking that way. And it is going to just be trying to run and trying to avoid the incoming bullets here. And now playing on the low ground, I actually like this. This will open up a lot of options just for a rotation, not...

01:05:07 Und das ist alles, was du willst. Du wissen, du musst du durch den gleichen Weg, 8 anderen Teams zu gehen, um zu der Promised Land zu gehen. Du wirst nicht einfach sein, du wirst nicht alles, was alle Augen turnen. Das ist wo Height, das ist wo starker Mobilität, Characters wie Valkyriezen, gibt dir das Potenzial, sogar ein Pathfinder. Es ist weird, aber wir haben es heute gesehen, und es funktioniert. Es gibt dir eine Chance, aber nicht gerade jetzt. Selbst mit den Catalyst Wallen, gibt es nur einen Weg zu gehen, und es ist Forward. SKD Markman.

01:05:37 Und vielleicht sagen wir, wir müssen das fighten. Und mein Gott, Dropped! Oh, du hast du einen Sekunden, mein Freund. Du hast die Bullets auf dem da, und du hast gar nicht health. Die Zone ist in der Knockdown-Shield. Und vielleicht, vielleicht eine große Spiel hier von Dropped. Und ich denke, Medkit hier, Dan. Ich denke, du hast den Medkit. Du hast zwei Spieler alive.

01:05:57 Two players alive, a Devo in hand and a potential for Drops to do something, but only three squads remain. Furia are on the high ground watching all of this and arguably should win this game from this position. As soon as they see anything in the killfeed, they're gonna get involved. Drops can help Furia win this game, but Flats still have a full three here. So SKD have to be careful, they go down. Now Furia, they make their move.

01:06:18 They make their move, they transition early enough to the God Spot and they walk down amongst the mere mortals to claim what looks like to be an easy victory. Furia, get furious in game number two. And you gotta love it because man, that was a game of chess, not checkers. It was strategy to get to that position and Furia, they played it perfectly.

01:06:41 And most importantly, deleting TSM when they had to. That was one of the biggest moments in that game. They take down members of TSM. They chase them away to force them down. Reps, as the lone survivor, he wasn't really going to be a true threat in the end. He was in such a vulnerable position that Furia could just leave him there, focus on the rest of the lobby. But the lobby kind of focused on themselves. It was what I was talking about from that northwest side. Everyone had to move at the same time. They're all doing damage to one another. And then it's about picking up the pieces if you're one of the teams that was in the zone. And that was Furia. That was Fl-

01:07:10 But Fury had the high ground. It certainly did. And I think that this is one of those games where there's a lot to it and it's very difficult to parse through the good fighting and just being in the right position. I think dropped. I mean, you look at the shots on that Devo and you look at the follow-up, even getting that first knock by himself, almost being able to swing.

01:07:30 It's a matter of timing and knowing. He doesn't have a Bloodhound scan to know exactly where they are, to be able to swing that perfectly. So I think he does the best with what he's given. It's just a numbers advantage at that point. And also the fact that Furia are patient. Furia don't jump in. They see it's dropped. But why do they need to go there unless they know that they're going to be able to immediately eliminate him? They wait till they fight a little bit. Then they rotate down. I mean, overall.

01:07:55 Ich denke, die Geschichte für mich ist, FURIA. Ich denke, sie ist ein Team, der noch viel zu tun hat, Dan. Und sie hat das wirklich, wirklich perfekt gemacht, von all den Moments von TSM, zu even das Final Circle. Ich denke, es ist eine Situation, wo jeder hat etwas zu tun, jetzt. Ich denke, als du ein Teil von einem Split hast, wo wir sehen Team Changes haben, wir sehen Leute, zu machen eine Entscheidung, das wird die gesamte Röster verändern.

01:08:18 You have to prove yourself, whether that be getting to LAN or then when you get to LAN. Are you succeeding? Are you doing better than you did than your previous team? But for Furia, there is going to be a lot of eyes on for sure. And now finding that victory is going to put them in a great position. 24 points, 12 kills on the board. They had an excellent game.

01:08:34 I love a lot of these scores, because this looks a little bit more like what we saw in Europe today, in EMEA today, with the 10s across the board, even all the way down to Complexity. Board get a good placement, can't quite follow it up with the kills, but pretty much all of our top 7 teams have taken quite a few kills, gotten good placements, and it's put them in a good position. We'll have serious standings in a second, but let's go to the back page and see of our bottom 10 performing teams.

01:08:59 Anybody had a standout? No. This is the difference, though. Really, here, not a lot of points spread out. You see Native Gaming getting a few. We saw, you know, the IGLing of RKN talking about it, how, you know, this is something that, you know, they've got to play around with the POI drafts to get its best map and give them the best chance. Empire Gaming, formerly 8th Gang with 3. But it's not going to be enough. DSG with a big 0, and so LG with a 1. Maybe bigger stories on the back half.

01:09:27 ...we'll take out, but talk to me about Furia and Flat. They had great games here, Dan, and it could have been either one. Two very different positions as well. One on the north, one on the south. Furia had more cover, so they were able to kind of peek out and pass. That's why they have that extra amount of damage. Yes, they've got more kills. Flat had to...

01:09:44 Es ist sehr großartig, sie hatten sich zu spüren, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden, um sie zu verabschieden.

01:10:08 Und hier ist es, TSM, obwohl nicht in der finalen Kampf, und Sie sehen, dass sie die Position haben, wenn sie in der finalen Kampf gewesen wären, das ist die Spiel-Winne-Winne-Position. Sie haben noch 10 Punkte, so sie stehen in der leaden mit 32. FURIA mit einem großen Wunsch, mit 30. Komplexity, Eternal, EC, und Flat, die drei Teams hinter dem, die wir in der Top 5 sind. Dan, was wir sehen, dass wir unsere Leiders after 2 sind.

01:10:33 Well, I think that Disguise, they had the Zone coming to them. I'm saying I want to see something a little bit different. Are they going to be able to bounce back from their first match week at the moment? Not going so well, but there are still four games to do so, Evan. Well, so much to do here in the near future and one more game on World's Edge. We'll see what happens, but first we'll go to a quick break and we'll be right back with more ALGS. Herman Miller is the official chair partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

01:12:40 Die LGS ist ein paar Spannens in den worksen heute.

01:12:45 Es ist Reinde. Es war toll zu hören von Reinde earlier. Das war ein meiner Lieblingsmoment in AOGS-History. Es war die zweite Waffe, die mich überrascht. Es war alles gut. Es war wieder. Und dann ist es wieder. Es ist toll.

01:13:14 Ja, ich weiß nicht, dass er eine Rez kommt, aber ich weiß nicht, dass er ein Spiel ist.

01:13:43 Es ist FURIA, die vorhanden FURIA, auf der Plattform gegen TSM, die wir als die Winners haben.

01:14:06 TSM, they won game number one, so they're not going to feel too disheartened as we head into match number three now, the final one on World's Edge. Yeah, TSM's still leading in the overall standing, so they won't be too bothered by it, but it does mean that FURIA are hot on their tails, and they have to be careful, still have to be consistent, but it was a big win when FURIA did take down the majority of TSM to give them said position in match number two. Well, here we go, then. Match number three is live. Like I mentioned, the last game on World's Edge before we flip...

01:14:33 It could be all the way on that western side for sure, which would be good news for LG, who have been playing very successfully today as well. Not the best of news for all those teams on the southeast.

Strategische Zonenwahl und Team-Positionierung

01:14:59

01:14:59 The Gladeon where potentially could Shadow Disguised hit a Survey Beacon and then keep moving. Depends on how they want to path themselves. You can see there is an Evo Harvester dead center of launch site as well. So that could be the journey for them. One thing that is good to point out for the teams who, oh, we were wrong. Maybe it is going to be a landslide, maybe another Drill Tower finish here as we do see the zone go away. And this is, again, one of those zones, right? You're looking at and you're going, I hope we have her in console.

01:15:24 And I was going to mention that for Temper and LG, who initially I was thinking are in pretty good spots where this zone might go, they have both Ring Console and the Survey Beacon. So they're going to have the info they need. They're not going to be caught off guard by this. But a team like Oblivion, I'm not sure if they do have a Ring Console over at Countdown. We'll have to wait and see when those players do move away a little bit. But Native Gaming, they do have a little bit of information. They are already heading north.

01:15:47 Well, Native Gaming might try and do exactly what they did in match number one. Remember when they took down Oblivion, because Oblivion had already got to the outer areas of the Vault Tunnel, and then instead we saw Native Gaming kind of just get there in time to take them down. Native now probably have the jump on them here, because as you mentioned, they have Ring Console. Are Native going to go for that play? Are they going to keep going north, or are they just going to reside here? It looks like they might be happy to take this drill here.

01:16:13 Ja, ich meine, eine Sache, dass ich diese Trucks sage, ich habe es oft gesagt, ich habe es vielmehr, ich habe es vielmehr, ich habe es mit diesen Trucks, eine Sache ist, wenn du einen Watson hast, ist es viel einfacher zu holen, denn du kannst du den Gen down, es kann man den Grenaden werden, aber so viele Angles, dass du kannst, und die Worry ist, wenn du den Gen getötet, dann wenn du den Gen getötet bist, dann wenn du einen Bloodhound scannst, dann bist du in einen wirklich, wirklich russisch. Speaking of russisch, du kannst du die Turtle schon sehen, sie sind bereits in einen russisch russisch.

01:16:40 Although they did manage to get a little knock. So this fight is a little bit closer than initially we thought. Yeah, it is close. It's a 2v2. But Carter gets finished. And that will mean that if they win this fight, it might be a struggle to get back up. Great shots. Don't beat the R301. Flat do get eliminated. And now Eternal. Well, the good news is there is a respawn beacon right here for them. And it's like Carter never left. Yeah, it's like, come back, buddy. We got you some loot. And he's like, oh, sorry, I got out of bed a little bit late. But thanks for that.

01:17:09 Easy win there for Eternal in the end. I say easy, it wasn't easy whatsoever. It was a tough four battle, but the Res B can be in there. It's very good news for them. Looking elsewhere, NGNL, they've already moved down to the northern side of where the zone is going to be. Complexity in there, LG have overtaken Oblivion as well. They're inside a countdown, so a lot of teams already getting there early. And I think this is one of those zones that you're always looking at as like early priority is vital because of, again, a lack of playable position. So if you're there early, fantastic.

01:17:35 Otherwise, I think the best way to work is probably the Countdown way. Rotate from Countdown, maybe through Monument and come through those chokes late, but we know there's going to be a lot of traffic on that side, and some of that traffic is already here over at Respawn Village, and all these teams who are fighting, taking shots at each other, they're going to be moving through those chokes a little bit later on. Yeah, all three zones here on World's Edge have been difficult ones to play with. Lack of playable space, which almost emphasizes the importance of getting into one of the best positions early, because then you can play from it, and then you can...

01:18:04 Get a good amount of kills from teams that are just arriving late and just kind of whimpering into the zone.

01:18:09 We see it happen far too often where teams will just be like, okay, well, we can move here, but then where do we go? All right, we can move to this next section, but now we're in trouble from here. Eventually, that team probably fluffs out with one or two kills and very little placement points. So you need a better idea and a better reaction time of when you get that zone information. Well, Complexity want to take this fight here against Native, and this is the worry, right? If they get Smokes in, they get that gen broken, then it might be easy pickings. And hey, look at this, easy pickings, shield damage coming in. Lou is going to hit fire. He's going to zoom in as well a little bit to get that.

01:18:38 Das ist der einzige Grund, warum ich die Trucks nicht mag, das ist, warum ich die Trucks nicht mag, das ist, warum ich die Trucks nicht mag, aber Early ist, ich immer questione es.

01:19:03 Ich meine, in reality, NativeGaming wird sich ein bisschen öffnen über das. Sie sagen, warum sind wir uns? Warum sind wir uns? Warum sind wir uns in der Bühne? Du bist nur in der Bühne. Es war ein sehr einfaches Fight für Complexity. Ich glaube, das war die Worry nicht. Es war nur, ich glaube, dass die L.G. zu gewinnen, die L.G. zu zeigen, dass sie das Spiel so schnell sind. Und bei dem so, sie sind able zu catch Complexity off-guard.

01:19:23 So, so quickly pick up those KP. And I think an important moment there for Sykes as well. He got one of those kills. I think he's gone down first twice for LG in the fights, but they have taken. So for confidence, a very important moment for them. Liquid Alienware, they're looking confident as they're taking on Empire. Yeah, they are full sending it on to Empire. There is one player who comes out of nowhere, though, to even things up, but not for much longer. Aguarez gets the job done. Empire will fall. 17 squads now remain. Liquid Alienware continue to be a very threatening fighting team. And a little teabag onto the death box as well.

01:19:54 So Liquid Alienware will get to reset. The wonderful thing about winning a fight inside of the building, the natural cover that that provides allows you a few shield swaps, a little bit of time to get those medkits popped before you have to re-engage again. So a very, very good early fight here for LG. Elsewhere, C9, who we saw over the Respawn Village a few moments ago, well, they're heading towards the Assault Bin. They want to pick up a few attachments, get a little bit more Evo that way before they approach this zone from the east. And this is going to be an interesting...

01:20:22 Ich denke, das ist der beste Spiel für Cloud9, weil sie vielleicht denken, um die Trenn tunnel zu erreichen, aber ich denke, das ist der beste Spiel für die Position sie haben, weil sie wissen, dass es Teams wie NGNL, TSM, Edges gibt, die bereits haben sie zu den Chokes von der Natural POI landing spot.

01:20:44 I would say place number one for them to try and play. But later on, I would say if they see a fight breaking out up there, I would try and move up in third party there. Depends if Cloud9 saw Monsoon exiting that train tunnel, by the way. If they did, they will know it's likely the train tunnel is clear because a rat has escaped from there. They're probably running away from something on the other end, though. Whether that would change their mind remains to be seen.

01:21:04 Der Circle ist sogar noch weiter nach, ich denke. Das könnte auch ein Detrimmelt für Cloud9 sein, wenn sie das Tunnel entscheiden können. Aber wenn man einen Circle sieht, ich denke, das ist, dass es weiter nach geht. Das bedeutet, dass NG&L in einen der besten Spots sind. TSM ist tatsächlich in eine sehr gute Position auf der Nr-E-S-Side. Sie werden auch sehr gut für einen Zeitpunkt. Ja, LG wird das Ring-Console sein können, so sie haben Kontrollen. Interessiert, ob sie die...

Kämpfe um Positionen und strategische Entscheidungen

01:21:30

01:21:30 Und wenn sie die Beacon haben, oder wenn sie die Information, die sie haben, wird genug sein.

01:21:57 Disguys need to win a fight here. They need some confidence back into their gameplay. They backed off at the moment. Designfall has taken too much damage. And Carter, back from the dead, like a phoenix from the ashes, is now doing the damage. And Eternal are going to clean up Disguys here, you imagine? Yes, they will. Another early exit for Disguys here on set. And Eternal have done very well in their fights. It has to be said, really targeting successfully.

01:22:22 Ja, ich habe viel über die Havoc gesprochen. Ist die Mag ein bisschen zu großartig, speziell wenn du die Enttanchments hast? Kannst du ein bisschen zu, ich würde sagen, freiwillig, wenn du musst? Wir haben einen Beispiel gesehen. Clark geht in, Clips Design 4, Clips Timmy as well und dann ist er einfach zu sehen, ob er kann alle drei Kills zu ihm sein. Fantastisch shots kommen in von ihm mit der Havoc und den Amt der Mag und der Amt der Amt der Amt man kann, bevor man hat, ist eine der Grund, warum Havoc ist so populär.

01:22:48 Well, Cloud9, we mentioned that they might go through the tunnel here. I think they're going to play Edge. They might have got indication that someone was going to be arriving from the southeast. Well, it is Liquid Alienware, but I don't think Liquid Alienware are actually going to move towards Cloud9. Instead, they are shadowing Borde. They have found a team. They have seen a team. And of course, having the Bloodhound, you are going to get that information from the footprints as well. So they are following said team, and maybe they'll be able to surprise Borde from behind here.

01:23:18 They're trying to move up they want to be aggressive Looks like they haven't really got anywhere to be aggressive on I'm gonna choose to hit the survey beacon instead to see where everyone else is playing for now and what spots are gonna be open for them

01:23:33 And now they decide to take their approach. Nerzel's gonna take a little bit of damage as he slides out, as you would be expected. And one thing to worry about a little bit here, maybe for Liquid Alien, where you're looking at the inventory, and Nerzel's only got three cells left. So they're looking probably to take a fight here, not just for the sake of taking the fight to get the Evo up, to get the points, but also for some loot. That's one of the downsides of Dome, right? The loot isn't great. And yes, they've been able to get themselves up to Purples and loot on their way.

01:23:58 Aber haben sie sich auch mit dem Lüter gespielt? Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.

01:24:23 I think this is a 1v1, actually. They might actually come out on the good side of this, but he needs to hit his shots. There's still one player alive somewhere. The question is, where? Well, the pings are coming through. He's obviously in the zone somewhere, but the zone is going to play a part. Have to syringe here, otherwise you're just going to die. Does the other player get the syringe off? Yes, this is just going to be a syringe fest. Megkit's going to go down.

01:24:44 Both banners are grabbed.

01:25:13 Meds need to start being popped. Syringe has to be used instantly if you want to survive in this one. And if they are able to get out, they'll have to go through the red and then try and approach from that southern side. The good news is if they get into the vault, you are safe in the vault area, but that circle is then going to force you through the likes of LG and potentially Cloud9. So it could be an early demise for Stallions. They do have a mobile res, by the way. You can see that's just been popped on the map on the southern side. So Stallions are going to get back up to a 4-3.

01:25:41 Look at where that zone is going. It's not only going north, you can see it's got east as well. So pulling towards TSM, who are pretty much the only building which is safe. So TSM is set up for another very, very good game. The cards that have been dealt so far have been very, very good for them. They made good on it in game number one. Managed to turn that one into a win. Excuse me, game number two, if I'm not mistaken. Game one, excuse me. Game one, yeah, yeah. That was right. And now they've got a chance to do it again here. And I like how they're spreading themselves.

01:26:09 Ja, ja, ja

01:26:36 We can't do anything about it. Look guys. Oh, wait. Where? I'm batting. Watch for Verz. I'm looking for kills. Look for kills RV. Look at the same thing. Everyone look at the same thing. Yeah, I'm looking RV with you guys. Wait, left RV is better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, other side. Verz, verz, verz, verz.

01:27:01 Leber Nate, we're fine. Nice. Right side. Six on him, hit him a hundred. Yeah, I'm looking for a grenade on him. Yeah, good nade, loot, loot, loot, loot, loot, loot. No, I can nade that one again. Can we look for an opportunity on Lower maybe?

01:27:19 We need to kill lower guys I Mean yeah, they have to end we can't we can play late on this We get to tell them how many minutes and there's no way to do it with the same direct address These get killed you don't know I'm in these fucking grenades But you can't kill those kills guys. You understand me. Yes. Yes. I'll kill us all kills

01:27:44 We're gonna get these two kills, get these two kills over there and then we're gonna kill the three under and then die. It's a full three I think over here. Okay. We have to kill them. No, I have my pack. Oh, all right. When they get pushed out of that hill you should bang ult them. Yeah, bang the open, bang the open. 40. I'm back. Dude, where are you? My shot's going. But you need to make sure we're full heal for this.

01:28:11 We could play for that out there too. Yeah, we gotta play for right side. Yeah, we gotta play for right side cause this team's up here Kills guys kills only kills only seven points seven points Kill far get any kills we can far then we gotta wipe under 88 on one They're shooting under if one gets knocked or something we should take advantage of it

01:28:31 Ich denke, wir sollen von ...

01:29:03 No, bro. Fuck. Tap me if you can. Keep pushing forward. Keep pushing forward. Get kills, guys. Kills, kills, kills, kills. There's only one. There's only two. Yeah, yeah. There's only one. There's only one. Tap me. Tap me. Tap me.

01:29:31 Und FURIA wird wiederholfen, als sie auf die KP auf den Weg zu Zone kommen. Aber LG ist noch hier drin, Dan. Ja, LG ist noch hier drin. Sie sind in eine gute Position, aber es wird SKD, die sich wirklich auf die Position haben, die sich in die Position befinden. Sie werden sich in die Aggressiven, aber sie werden sich in die Aggressiven.

01:29:48 The Skiddies continue to leave their mark on the lobby as TSM will be watching over them.

01:30:08 And Complexity, by the way, a Solo Complexity member, Monsoon, is dead center of this circle. So he can really influence how this final circle is going to go. You've got Cloud9, Liquid Alienware, and Bored, who are all on the southeast side. Also, Monsoon's got a Kraber, by the way. And earlier on, he managed to almost 1v3 Liquid with it. He got two Nox, wasn't able to get the finishes. But look at the kill feed. He's doing it again now. As a Solo with that Kraber, Monsoon is a human highlight reel. You give him a Kraber, you give him a Sentinel, it doesn't matter.

01:30:37 Give him a sniper, give him something that can hit heavy. Five squads now remain, so Monsoon has been able to get into the top five by helping Bord on that southeast side. Cloud9 may be going to be the next target for Bord if they can survive, but I think it's only a solo then as well. Likely it is, we're looking at a TSM versus Skid fight here, and the winner of it could be in prime position to take this game. Forget about Monsoon. I'm just saying, he's got a Kraber. If he didn't have the Kraber...

01:31:03 Ich würde nicht sagen, dass. Bord still hat eine Alive als auch. Aber TSM, das ist die große Herausforderung für sie. Berholt still hat seine Alte available. Und jetzt wird er es runter. Der Rolling Thunder schuldigen das Push. Und also Reps ist jetzt zu beherrassend mit der Knuckle Cluster. As SKD try and move through. Und das ist so smart von TSM. Sie müssen sie wegnehmen. Sie wollen sie wegnehmen. Sie wollen sie wegnehmen. Sie wollen sie wegnehmen. Sie wollen sie wegnehmen. Sie wollen sie wegnehmen.

01:31:30 Und es wird Repp auf den Fuse wiederholfen, die die großen Nades haben. Hittet die Nades und es versucht ihn zu Cloud9, aber Cloud9 jetzt in die Center-Zone geht. Aber TSM hat das Nord-Side. Der Worry ist Monsoon. Er ist sehr nahe zu TSM, aber sie wissen es nicht. Sie haben die Bloodhound, so es ist wohl, dass sie Monsoon spotten. Shortly, es geht nicht. Monsoon geht es, keine Highlight Reale für ihn in der Final-Circle, aber ich bin sicher, dass es ein Big-Shots hier ist. Cloud9 lost einen als auch. Hier kommt TSM und Cloud9 zu haben.

01:31:58 2 out of 3, and looking in fine form are TSM at just the right time.

01:32:28 You're right, the solo did impact it, but it wasn't the solo maybe we thought it was going to be. We thought it was going to be Monsoon on Complexity. Instead, it was the member of Board that locked down one of the players on Cloud9 and just allowed TSM to have a dominating position from that northern side. But they held that position for a lot of the game. They saw that ring was slowly pulling towards them. The big win for them was making sure that Skid couldn't actually find their way onto the north. They forced them down to the south, where they instead were griefed by the likes of Cloud9.

TSM's Dominance and Role Swaps

01:32:57

01:32:57 Yeah, very, very impressive stuff from Reps again on the fuse, right? It's just using the knuckle clusters to force them away and then saving that frag grenade for that moment as well. The damage was done and then that frag grenade, you just saw all sorts of numbers jumping up. And it's a very, very good feeling when you're that player who does that much damage and knows that you're influencing. That's you moving away from your game-winning spot. We'll bring that back, Rain Day, to join myself, Rain Day, and of course you, Rain Day, to talk through what we have seen. Don't even try. Don't even try to do that.

01:33:26 Ja, und ehrlich gesagt, sie sind das... Oh mein Gott, du hast nicht versucht. Du hast nicht versucht zu machen.

01:33:34 The story about it is TSM, and we hit up that drama earlier, right? And I think the only thing that's setting this up better is the fact that there is no Falcons in this lobby. Because you know that's what most people watching this are saying. If they were doing this in a lobby with Hal and Zero Engine Burton, how crazy would this be? But it's just the fact that they are doing this in a lobby at all, where a lot of people were...

01:33:59 Let's admit it, unsure about what the future would hold for TSM. Well, what a resounding answer. And I think this is, again, I'm bringing up EMEA because it just happened. Maybe like the way 07 answered our questions. I think TSM has certainly answered our questions, guys, of whether they've still got it. They've still got it and maybe even then some. And now it's a matter of how consistent they can be. Because once we see these points, I'm looking at them right now. Once you show you, after three games, I mean, that's...

01:34:27 These are some points that will get you maybe top four on the overall day. So pretty impressive stuff. And I think Mark, looking at the takeaway too, you know, roles are swapping as well, which is also an opportunity to highlight some of the players who have to take on maybe a little bit more responsibility in the squad and allow others like Zap to come in and fill a role that he's comfortable with.

01:34:49 I think it's interesting to see who is playing what legend, right? You've got Verhulst who's on the Bangalore, which historically is not a legend that he's played much, but I like the freedom that it gives him. I think if I'm being hypercritical maybe about Evan and Verhulst and the way that he's played the game previously, and this is not a detriment to him because it's the role he's been asked to play. He's always been that secondary slayer, right? Sometimes he's had to play the anchor on TSM before.

01:35:13 Und wenn Reps hat zu spielen, ein Legend, welches ist, oder war geliebend, hat es geblieben, um Mouse und Keyboarden zu spielen, wie Bangalore, zum Beispiel, um die Präzision zu geben. Aber ich denke, wenn du jemanden wie Verholz, wie Dan gesagt, wenn du ihn auf den Leashen hast, kannst du ihn sehen, wenn du ihn auf den Leashen hast. Er ist nicht mehr zu verlieren. Er ist nicht mehr zu verlieren. Er wird so viele Openungen für dich. Und Reps, auf den Fuse, kann er was er bestet, ist, dass er das Anger. Er kann er die Person, die die Teams auswählen. Er kann er das Opening Damage auswählen.

01:35:42 Und dann können sie sich auf die TSM-Roll-Swappen gehen. Ich denke, es funktioniert für sie. Und natürlich ist es funktioniert für sie. 2 Wins aus 3 Spiel ist eine fantastische Stahl für sie. Und du kannst sehen, 17 Punkte. Es ist die richtige Richtung, und es ist die richtige Zeit. Es ist eine Welt-Edge-Dominent-Performance. Und als wir schauen...

POI Draft Dynamics and TSM's Performance

01:36:02

01:36:02 Cloud9 Complexity, zurück zu dieser Main Story, Dan. Wie fühlst du, wenn du nach Nord-Amerika und TSM nachdem, und die Art der Draft waren? Sie haben die vierte Pick gemacht. Sie haben die Klimatizer-East gemacht. Du denkst, als wir auf Page 2 schauen, dass das etwas mit dem Start starten wir sehen? Absolut. Wenn du einen von den früheren Picks hast...

01:36:26 You are going to be in one of the stronger POIs, but you have to make it count. We spoke about it on the EMEA show. There was a few teams who didn't make it count when they had an early draft pick, but that does mean, because they had an early pick on World's Edge, they're going to have had a much later pick on Storm Points. So get the points in early when they are there, and when you have zones like that, they give you the opportunity to do so. And now you can kind of scramble for a few points and try and get some average games on a map that is going to be tougher with the POI that you've been given.

01:36:53 Devastated Coast is where they will show up. We'll talk all that nonsense, though, in just a bit. So don't worry about it. We've got a lot of stuff coming up, especially a fun halftime recap and a special guest. But before we get into that, TSM on top by 17.

01:37:06 Das ist eine große Leistung von TSM in der Lobby heute mit TSM und das hat sie in die Position für 5th Platz.

01:37:36 Yeah, a lot of kills. That is a lot of kills across three games. It's almost weird to see that many kills. It's weird, yeah. Placement points, because obviously they've been winning a few fights early on in the game, but then not being able to make it to endgame, which is somewhat surprising. But hey, who cares how the points come right as long as they're on the board? And I love that different specialty, too, and leaning into it as well. EECC in Opportunity, and they're going to be happy if they finish fifth. I'm sure that's a pretty decent performance on the day. But someone who knows all about that, what it means to feel...

01:38:02 Happy about a performance, what it means to need to work on a few things and what it means to sign back to one of the glorious orgs that have been a part of Apex since the beginning and now return. It's the man Nocturnal himself, or should I say NRG Nocturnal? It's still weird to say that, but I'm happy to say it. Welcome to the show, buddy.

01:38:25 Und ich denke, wir haben ihr MUTED. Und ich liebe das, wir sind in Suspense. Oh, ich bin MUTED, sorry. Ja, ich bin mir hier. Es ist alles ein Teil der Plan. Es ist so weird, ich kenne mich, aber wir sind hier. Und das ist die drei Spiele, eigentlich. Ich will sagen. Das ist life, man. Wir haben das Spiel wirklich gesehen, das Ding, die Identitäten haben sich verändert. Ich meine, wir haben es all über Nordamerika, MEA, verschiedene Orte kommen in und aus, Changes.

01:38:54 That's the way any competitive sport goes. It's great that you're still here representing. I want to talk to you, though, before we go into today, about how your process has been with this new team. Because, yeah, you said it's different. And it is a great org. Obviously, a lot of history in Apex. And you guys have a lot. I think at this point, you've proven so much. But would it be weird to say you have a lot to prove this split? Do the guys feel like there's a statement that you want to make this split coming into split two? And, of course, hopefully at LAN?

01:39:23 Realistically, we just want to make land this time. I'm not trying to be the butt end of jokes where we didn't make land. It's kind of embarrassing to be in that position. So now we just want to show up. We just want to play our game. And that's the biggest problem is that we haven't really been able to play our game lately. So now I just want to show up, play, and have a good time. And if we win, we win. I'd love to win even more. That'd make me really happy.

01:39:50 Realistically, we just want to show up for Energy. Energy is a Legacy. It's really hard to pass off the Frex rosters, the Rocker rosters, the Nathan rosters. I know there's a lot of Legacy fans who are just like, what are these guys doing here? We're just trying to make people proud and make ourselves proud at the end of the day, honestly.

01:40:11 I love that. I'm going to jump in now, Noc. Firstly, congratulations, of course, being part of NRG. It's wonderful for you guys. And I want to ask you about how it feels, because it almost looks to me from the outside looking in, this is somewhat of a fresh start. It was a little bit of a rough split for you guys last time around. And it just felt like something wasn't quite right. Something wasn't quite clicking. And obviously, you had to watch from the sidelines. Like you said, it's very difficult to do. But do you feel almost as if the pressure is off a little bit this split?

01:40:40 You've been through some of the tough times now and after the first few game days, you're like, hey, things are starting to click. We're feeling a little bit more confident and almost like your old selves again. I wouldn't say I feel like my old self because I'm still trying to battle a lot of my bad habits and get back into the flow of things and doing IGLing and stuff like that because, you know, missing out on LAN experience and previous Pro Leagues where we started Pro League last split with the 18th or 19th and man, going through that Pro League in those couple of months was just absolutely grueling.

01:41:09 But now we have a 5th and an 8th, and we're pretty comfortable, steady track to go to next land. So now we just need to close it out, and I would say the pressure is definitely a little bit off, but my standards are way too high for myself, and I want to do the best I can. Speaking of grueling, we had three pretty interesting zones with a lot of open space to play.

01:41:33 You can talk us through what you saw in each zone, but the first thing I want to ask you is, like, how difficult are some of these zones to play when there isn't much playable space? I mean, you have to make miracles happen. Like, if you aren't in that team in that favorite position, you have to just use your utility perfectly, you have to have your teamwork perfect. It is...

01:41:53 Es gibt einen Nail-Dropen. Alles kann passieren, und meistens alles wird passieren. Du hast es für das. Und wir sehen, Sweet zu absoluten, wie ein Tornado in der Center-Zone, als Solo zu machen. Es macht alles unkomfortabel, speziell Komplexität, und dann TSM-Swoops-up. Und du hast es nur für alles. Und wenn du nicht alles für alles bist, dann wird es blindsided. Genuglich.

01:42:22 We have to give our hats off to Sweet for that performance because it was an easy clean up for TSM in the end. The second game TSM didn't get to the final circle because of Furia. What did you notice from this final circle? Did Furia play this one perfectly? Honestly, they played it really well up in Souls by Ring 5 where they overcommitted on the west side, but they played it 95%.

01:42:46 Ich meine, es ist...

01:43:13 I've played these zones before, the top down angles is quite literally, you have to take your hands off your peripherals and say, okay, we're throwing this game because it is very hard to lose these games.

01:43:27 Well, one of the things I want to kind of get to you as you watch this, TSM are rocking the fuse knock. And obviously that's done well to bring them into first place. Two out of three wins. It's also given them a ton of pressure in these end zones. And the only end zone that they weren't able to win was the one FURIA fought them, I think at about 10th, 11th place and took that spot, which ended up being the spot that FURIA won from.

01:43:50 Walk me through your thoughts on Fuse. Is he really a staple in this meta, or is he something that, even for 30% of teams, is gonna be really, really valuable? I wouldn't even say like 30%, maybe like 10%, maybe? Like, it'd be like one to two teams that could get away with it. Mostly, predominantly the Trials teams. The Trials teams are like a gold helmet, so if you have a gold helmet on Fuse, it is not fun for the other people.

01:44:14 Ich weiß, wie Thermal ist. Ich weiß, DSG benutzt die Fuse von Thermal, aber jetzt haben wir die Drafting System. Ja, Fuse ist ein Terror in Multiples. Wenn du vielleicht 5-10 hast, dann wird es nicht Spaß in der Pro League. Es wird es schwerer sein, aber das Charakter macht so viel Druck. Und wenn du es gut playst... Wer ist Fuse für TSM? Ich habe es vergessen.

01:44:40 Ja, ich meine, small quality life changes are always...

01:45:08 Always, always was welcome. I feel like if they're not overly dramatic buffs where we're making abilities way too strong, rather than just like, you know, give this character a beacon, that'd be really nice too. But I think Fuse was good in the previous metas. We've historically played him under the old TL roster, I think. Yeah. And we've shown that if you play Fuse from Trials, you will, you know, have a lot of fun.

01:45:36 Fun makes that character look a lot of fun, too. Yeah, I think for World's Edge, I will say the Ring console definitely will help the character be played more. I won't make the lobbies more fun, though, I will say. We saw a story where TSM originally brought a fuse meta, where it was like 7 to 10 fuses, and that was not fun. That was probably the worst meta I've ever played.

POI Draft Analysis and Regional Differences

01:46:04

01:46:04 I'll jump off the back of the Fuse conversation to kind of talk about the POI draft, because there's been a lot of discussion about it, which has been fascinating to watch and listen to and read up on. I want to talk about your preparation now and how it's changed from knowing where you're dropping every single week, working on your macro, working on your rotates, to the amount of time that you now have to plan how you're going to approach game days. How has that changed for you as an IGL with Hodzik as well, obviously being your coach? I mean, what's that?

01:46:32 Was hat das Pattern been like in development? Is it something you're still learning? I mean, it kind of just goes into two playstyles. So if you're in a center position team or center position POI, you drafted a good rotate POI, you can essentially just rotate to about 70-80% of decent zones. And if you can't, then you play Edge, you play Ring 3 Beacons, and you see where you can fight in and try to control your side of the zone. But now...

01:46:59 Es ist wie du es von einem Multitüten von POIs, weil du musst, ein paar POIs haben. So, stattdessen, du hast die Set-Play-Style, es ist sehr repetitiv, sehr boring. Jetzt kannst du verschiedene Play-Styles machen, verschiedene Spiele. Du hast dich über... Du hast dich über die Game, stattdessen, in dieser Prepared-Mindset, jeden Tag. Und ich liebe diese Draft. Die Draft opens die Game, und... Hopefully, jeder...

01:47:27 Feels like it's a new breath of fresh air, and it's really fun to play. Well, we've certainly enjoyed watching it. We've enjoyed watching your performances as well. As you mentioned, an eighth and a fifth. You've taken a break now for the last game, the last weekend. Hopefully you got a little bit of rest because we kick back off next week as well. But congrats, and we wish you continued success, Noc, and the rest of NRG The Split. Hope to see you next, Len.

01:47:53 All right, buddy. Nocturnal from NRG joining us for the Halftime Recap. Big stuff there. Thanks for all the analysis and insight. If you guys in the chat enjoyed that as well, go ahead and show them some love in the chat for Nocturnal and all of our pros who give us their weekly analysis. Dan, take a break. You've been casting quite a lot. It's going to be me and Mark here for the next one to kick off Storm Point. And Mark, as we do transition into Storm Point, a lot of good points here to be made. The one I want to go back to because they are maybe the biggest story so far.

01:48:22 So far as TSM, they are now on their

01:48:26 38th pick, 36th pick overall out of 40 for this Lobby on Stormpoint. Can they keep it up after having really a top tier pick in Worlds Edge? Well, speaking of top tier picks, just looking across some of our draft picks, you can see the board. They've got the mill. That is number one when it comes to picking things. LG over Launchpad is a POI they've played from a lot in the past as well. Command Center for Native Gaming is going to be good for them. Essential POI, they love to play Zone, so those teams are going to be pretty happy. Also, EEC Zoo Station is...

01:48:55 Ich denke, es ist in Nummer 6 oder 7, in der ADP. Es ist ein sehr starkes Pick für sie.

01:49:07 Maybe don't have the better picks. I think they're the ones to look at. And if you can make something happen on those game days where you don't have what you would class as maybe a stronger POI, then they're the ones you look back on as maybe the points that were most valuable when we get to the end. And it helps you rearrange your thought process on how you want to approach it. I've seen teams, you know, talk about how they want to pick on a map that they feel they IGL terribly on. This was Native talking about it, saying, you know, we don't feel confident on this map. I don't trust my IGLing as much as I do on the other map.

01:49:36 And so we're going to pick a great pick for that to offset it. And there's some people who say, well, let's play to our strengths. We love Stormpoint. Let's focus on it. But it obviously means that you put all your eggs in one basket as we get ready for map number four. Complexity dropping at the wall. EEC dropping right next to Empire Gaming. Zeus Station, Lightning Rod. We'll see if there's some sparks there between those two. Oblivion and Native Gaming in the middle of it.

01:50:03 So many things that can happen.

01:50:31 We don't know. That's the beauty of it, though. And another team to mention, Furia. They will be one to watch out for.

01:50:37 Es ist sicherlich, nach dem Wien wir auf Worlds Edge gesehen haben. Eine Sache, ich möchte, dass etwas passiert ist, dass es etwas passiert in der Norden der Map ist und das ist eine gute Möglichkeit, uns zu sehen, um es wieder einmal mehr zu sehen. Earlier in EMEA, wir sahen Allianz mit den Trident, aber das war weil Nordpad war frei. So, sie waren able, ich sage, 1.75% von POIs. Ja. Aber diesmal ist es ein bisschen anders, denn SKD wird ein Team übernommen, um Nordpad zu contestieren. So, es könnte ein Early-Fight passieren.

01:51:06 Es ist nicht gut für sie, und es sieht aus wie sie spielen für den Trident, das wird ihnen ein schnelleres Rotate geben. So, keep your eyes on the north side of Stormpoint, hier, als wir in die Spiel. Was ein interessanter Callout. Wir sehen uns, wie wir hier landen, hier, von den Dropships, die Individual-One, als wir starten mit Stormpoint. Und, eigentlich, als wir die Informationen hier haben, wir werden diese Lobby starten. Vielen Dank für Ihre Patience, als wir jetzt finden, das auch.

01:51:30 So it means we get to talk a little bit more of Apex. It means that if you were, you know, waiting to use the restroom, you could use it for, you know, now 30 seconds, a minute and a half. We'll probably get right in right when you go there. You know, we're not too strict. Just you got two minutes and then you got to be back here. This is must see ALGS, Mark. I mean, we can't give him too much time. It's true.

01:51:51 We have to ask for 30 seconds, so everyone else should ask as well. So it feels right. We will get back into that match as soon as we can and on to Stormpoint. Apologies for the slight delay, you know how these things work, but it does give a little bit more time for us to have a conversation about some of these drops, right, and how things are going to work here. And I'm always interested to see how the Mill teams perform, because I feel like the Mill is, in my opinion, like, I would say, it's almost the sky west, right, of World's Edge. It's the most significant POI for a number of reasons. One,

01:52:19 Great loot, great access to Beacons, and you've got that Trident near you as well. Also, one thing that's very good is you have pretty close access to the Spider Cave as well if you wanted to grab a little bit extra Evo on your way forward. Also, there's usually some Evo Harvesters that you're going to be able to pick up close, but also because you have that Trident, you can scoot around the map very quickly and scoop a couple up.

01:52:38 So that accessibility to different areas of the map, different ways to level up your Evo usually means that not only are you able to rotate quickly, but you're able to leave with information and good Evo. So that's why a lot of the time you're seeing teams go, hey, Mill's up. I got first pick. I'm going Mill.

01:52:52 You know what? And it's a great point. I mean, when you look at it, it is a good spot. It's one of those contested spots. We see a lot of fights on there. And I was almost just going back to fill in the gap of we're talking about SKD and we're also looking at MD. It was not moist who are going to be sharing that north side. So again, a different focus of, you know, having areas that.

01:53:13 Maybe you pick last and you now say, well, we're just going to contest this versus take one of the unpicked spots that really don't give you enough. And when we look at ADP, it's average draft position. That means, as Mark, you can go a little bit more into detail of it. These are the ones in terms of average, on average, what position do they get picked out of 40? So the ones at the highest level, they're obviously going to be the ones that are most sought after.

01:53:37 Ja, 100%. Und das ist nur für Nordamerika, also. Das ist nur für die Teams, die in den Lobbys, die wir sehen in den Nordamerika und ALGS. Das ist natürlich, dass es in den Regionen verändern wird. Aber in generell, es wird ziemlich ähnlich sein. Und wie gesagt, Milch ist auch da. Lightning Rod, of course, ist auch da, weil der Anzahl von Loot, die du getestet hast.

01:53:55 I would say 1.5 POIs worth of loot, plus you have the ability to grab a Trident if you need to as well. And the great thing about Lightning Rod is if it does go to the north, you have that extreme height. And if it goes to the south, you have the ability to work downhill the majority of the time. And if you hit an early Evac Tower, you can travel so much of Stormpoint and overtake other teams as opposed to having to head uphill, even if you hit that Evac yourself. So at the other end, you're seeing, you know, some of the smaller POIs, the likes of Jurassic, which is central, of course, which is great if you're a quick rotate team, but not the best of loot. And it's pretty spread

01:54:25 So you've got to really kind of take your time to actually loot up before you leave. And if you want to quick rotate and you want to play for zone, that few seconds can really cost you. And then, of course, Trident, which is kind of the outsides of North Pad between the wall where you have those eggs and you have a little bit of the old AMC Armory there as well. I mean, all of those little spots, it's essentially you kind of, a lot of the ones that you're seeing down the bottle, like Coastal Camp as well, you kind of sandwich between two stronger POIs, which means even if you do leave.

01:54:53 The likelihood of you having a first engagement is going to be one where you're at a disadvantage due to either loot, attachments, armor, whatever it might be, access to Evo. It just makes it a lot tougher to work from. So one thing I am very hopeful for as we see these stats and this data kind of tally up across the weeks is that it can be presented back to the devs and they can say, hey.

01:55:13 Why is this being drafted in this way? What can we do to bring some of these other POIs up to scratch a little bit? And I think if that's taken into account, it's just going to make this an even healthier system than it is now.

01:55:23 And when you look at this, right, we have a chance now to do the flip side mark of that analysis and go to EMEA. Is there any difference in what we're seeing? And you can tell that while some of those main picks are certainly from the high part of Mill, you know, even Lightning Rod, things like that, really, really valued. One of the things I noticed that Echo HQ was actually third in the pick at a seven pick rate, ADP.

01:55:51 In EMEA, it is a 2480p, which is so interesting, noting that there's a real, real value in North America over that South Side Echo. And a lot of the reason might be recency bias, because I remember a lot of North American zones ending in Echo HQ. And isn't that interesting to see how some of these things play out in terms of maybe not statistically the best?

01:56:17 But we remember all these Echo Zones, so we're going to just pick it just in case. Yeah, I mean, if you're one of the teams who previously landed over at Lightning Rod or one of the other northern POIs, you're probably thinking, do we actually want to drop here? Do we actually want to pick this? Because we know we're probably going to have a southern zone. And of course, like you say, recency bias is a funny thing. It plays funny tricks on your mind, but that's one of the wonderful things about it, right? All these things you have to take into consideration. Remember these teams and these players, they've been playing weeks and weeks of scrims. They would have...

01:56:45 Ich glaube, es hat eine gute Sample-Size von wo die Zonen sind, wo sie fühlen, die die Zonen sind. Oder wenn es eine, ich würde sagen, ist es eher zu access von bestimmten POIs, als opposed zu, wie du gesagt, die Zonen sind, die Zonen sind in den South, die sind ein bisschen mehr schwierig zu bekommen, wenn du sie nachher sind. So all diese Dinge rollen, es macht die Prozess fascinating. Und ich denke, wir vielleicht sogar zu diesem Punkt, wo es die Draft ist, und dann nachher, sagen wir, ein Team hat ein Bad Day, und dann wird es gesagt, ah, whose responsabilität war es für Draft dieses Mal? Because du hast es falsch.

01:57:14 Das ist richtig. Und Sie wissen, was das ist gut? Wenn wir das Land haben, und wir sehen uns alle Regionen zusammen, über 10 Wochen gespielt, auch in den Finals, haben wir einen tollen Bild. Jetzt sind wir nur glimpses, was die Trends sind, aber es ist noch sehr interessant. Und wirklich, wenn du es, was es für ein Team ist, wird es wichtig zu sehen, welche Teams get ihren High-Picks und performen well, a la TSM, die hat das 4th Pick und performt sehr gut, mit 49 points in 3 Games, including 2 Wins.

01:57:44 Aber dann, auf der anderen Seite, werden sie jetzt noch spielen auf der 36th pick, das ist sehr, sehr unterschiedlich für sie. Mark, sie könnten, in ihnen selbst, wenn sie einfach nur eine Dominante Day haben, ...

01:58:00 Ja, ich denke, das ist ein guter Punkt, dass du die Diskussion auf, wie du endest das ein bisschen, da, weil es ...

01:58:22 Ja, sie waren wirklich gut, sie waren zwei, drei Wins, aber sie waren Zones sie haben wirklich gut accesses zu, so es ist wie, all diese P.O.I. Draft ist fantastisch, aber es ist sogar besser wenn man die Zones getrennt, weil das ist das eine Sache, die man nicht kontrollieren kann. Es ist wie, du kannst alles zusammenfassen, wie wir haben, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier, hier,

01:58:49 So that's the wonderful thing about the POI draft system as well. You can plan for everything, but the wonderful thing about Apex Legends is you can't always plan for everything. There's always a level of unpredictability that you have to adapt to, and I think it makes it fascinating.

Narrative Shifts and TSM's Evolving Dynamics

01:59:01

01:59:01 You know, this league is just so fascinating. I was kind of wondering how all the rostermania would impact North America specifically. And obviously EMEA, they had their plenty of changes. But I feel like it's now really opened up the opportunity for us to talk about different storylines. Because when you have a few headliners who are kind of always the conversation, the, you know, ones and twos in terms of what you're focusing on as your main beat.

01:59:24 It's not that it becomes dry, it just becomes predictable. Yet now when you kind of shift things away, one of the benefits of, you know, the change of taking now what we're two teams facing off against each other, Dark Zero and TSM and Hal and Zero, and then putting them on the same team is it opens up new narratives for players to really get focused. And to me, one of the TSM narratives that I'm interested in is how Evan and obviously how reps Jordan really take on this shift.

01:59:52 in someone jumping into the next level of leader for that team, as it's true that they were the figures who were by Hal's side, but not necessarily leading that team. And I think it would be strange to say they were leading the team. There were key parts of it, but now one of them has to step into the leader. Who is that in that role? How does Zap fit into that as well? Does he clash?

02:00:14 Does he have the right fit? All of these things give us a lot more to talk about. And in that same vein, even outside of TSM, it means that who is going to be that other team to fill in? Is there more parity across North America in general? You look at Furia. You look at Oxygen, who would perform well. You look at Oblivion as well. You look at SSG. Do we start talking about SSG in a way where we look at them spending, you know, being able to actually win land? That's the biggest thing that I think North America has given me.

02:00:43 this split, Mark, it's that we actually have a lot more stories to cover and really focus on, despite it feeling like, oh no, it's only going to be one story and one thing to talk about. As we continue to fill, ladies and gentlemen, just keeping this conversation going, the lobby's not quite ready yet. We appreciate you hanging in there with us. But yeah, Mark, that I thought was an interesting point, a little bit different than what I expected coming into North America with the announcements of the super team that, of course, is important to mention.

02:01:09 I really hope, by the way, that Falcons give them capes, because I feel like if they're constantly called the super team, it's a real opportunity for the first team in Apex Legends history to wear capes. I will say on Falcons, you know...

02:01:20 Everybody's talking about Falcons, the Super Team, understandably so, right? They have looked phenomenal so far and there's no reason to say that they aren't going to be one of the favorites going into LAN. But just remember that this is not just a one-two region competition. This is the LGS. Reject Winner Team might have something to say about that as well. You know, they are the current holders of the title of the LAN Championship, the Split One Playoff. So for Falcons, it's kind of like a win or bust for me because everyone is expecting them to be number one and that comes with its own pressures.

02:01:50 In North America it seems like things are dire, but that's because this region are used to winning.

02:02:12 They have been the champions nearly at all times outside of two teams in the entire world to hoist the trophy up until January. And APAC North, oh yeah, Reject Winity, they said we are here to stay. And so now what has happened? What has opened up? What has shut down? And what changes will continue on? Not just in the match day today, but in the region. It is a great time to be an ALGS fan as you get to see who ends up...

02:02:39 Really taking the throne back from them. And who ends up making a little bit of history themselves? Maybe forging their own crown? We'll have to find out as we jump in to Stormpoint here. Game finally loaded. Can we get some, I don't know, some claps in the chat? I'm happy about it. Let's get going, Mark.

02:02:55 Hey, I'll clap down the microphone for you. I don't know if you can hear this. Come on, baby! The gate was off enough. It is good news, everybody. We are underway indeed. And it's good for me as well because my brain got fright because we were reading through the POI draft. We went to the previous game and saw a map over there and I was like, these teams are not in the right spot. And it gave me a real kind of burst of anxiety. But good news is we are going to see SKD taking the Trident drop spot. You see NotMoist over at NorthPad. And we are going to see LaunchPad and the Waterfall area probably going to be where a lot of teams are trying to reside.

02:03:24 Great news for LG, who have had, I would say, thanks to Sweet Dreams and that incredible solo performance, he had a very good opportunity to convert some good points in this game as well. Also noting that a big one, since we were talking about TSM and we see them hovering over us just a little bit at the top of that.

02:03:42 is that Mr. Reps has just passed 1,000 kills in the ALGS over his career, so congratulations for Reps. Give him another round of applause for that, that's awesome. Joins the 1K club, certainly deserving of that. Yeah, and I mean...

02:03:56 Reps is the ALGS. He's one of those players, right, that will always be on the Mount Rushmore, in my opinion, of the ALGS and to cross the 1,000 kills, especially when he's had to play Legends, which have not been fun to play for the maturity of his career. It just shows the caliber of the player, right? And you can see he's still got it. And the chance will certainly ring out across the arenas when we do see him playing again. Have you still got it? Because CSM, if they continue playing the way that they have started today here on Stormpoint, then they're going to be right at the top of those leaderboards. Complexity in fourth place overall.

02:04:26 Vielen Dank für sie.

02:04:47 Das ist auch sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

02:05:11 But we can't get past top five. We're in top five every game at LAN, but we cannot win a game because we died at Caustics. They didn't solve it at LAN, but they're in the same position here where they're getting great positions, Mark, and obviously they're still looking to solve it. It's not a Rampart issue now, and maybe it's just something that once Complexity figures out, we really can start talking about them as contenders to win this thing.

02:05:31 Yeah, I think their strategy at LAN was an interesting one. It got them through the group stages. It got them to the finals. But then I think it got a little bit exposed when zones started filling up a lot quicker than they were in groups. So yeah, some lessons to be learned for sure. And you can see they've changed that composition. And it's certainly something maybe that they've got in the back pocket to try and use in the future if they've got to try and navigate their way through LAN. But firstly, you've got to get to LAN. And we might have two teams who are looking to do exactly that fight in just a few seconds time. TSM and LG.

02:05:59 Und der Button Heads. Und sie wollen dieses Mal gewinnen. Es ist ein guter Knuckle-Cluster. Oder ein Knuckle-Duster, according zu Dan, das ich auch liebe. Von Fuse. Zap auf den Bloodhound. Scan up und Nye. Aber er weiß, wo sie sind. Und es ist ein Knuckle-Cluster zurück. So LG ist die gleiche composition. DSM.

02:06:18 Not really able to take that fight with a Prowler from that distance. LG maybe just saying, let's threaten, like we're going to leave and then push. And it looks like it might have caught Zap by surprise. You're going to have to shield battery and they got to be careful. Yeah, Zap's trying to get into a position where he can be healthy, stay healthy. Now he's going to have to pop the dogs.

02:06:34 Das ist wahrscheinlich das Unenviable Position zu beenden für ein Player. Replacing Imperial Howl, wahrscheinlich der größte Player der AOGS hat. Wenn du die Schuhe hast, dann gut zu dir. Aber Zapf ist schon zu zeigen, dass er das kann.

02:06:55 And this is a devastated Coast problem, right Mark? We have to talk about the setup. This is not where they wanted to go. This was their 36th pick overall. It was not a desired position. But as a leader in this lobby, TSM feel like they've been able to deal with things well. But they have another team approaching.

02:07:11 Und es ist nicht nur LG, Liquid Alienware sind auch dabei. Und sie müssen sich nicht mehr aufnehmen, als sie sicherlich machen können. Sie sind sicherlich, smartlich zurückgezogen. Sie nutzen die Gravity Cannon in Space, aber sie sind noch in diesem Tango zwischen LG. Und es fühlt sich nicht so, wie es findet seine Rhythmus. Es fühlt sich nicht so, wie es ein Crescendo ist und weitergeht.

02:07:30 Ja, das war ein Sentinelschot, ich bin sicher. Und das Hurt, du kannst es sehen, es hat den Boden, und es wirklich schickte Verhofst ein bisschen. TSM hat einen Fingern hier, aber ich würde sagen, es ist eine gute Entscheidung von allen Parten, zu disengagen und nicht zu überlegen. Sie alle wussten, dass es nicht ein 3v3-3 war. Both NRG, TSM und Team Liquid...

02:07:57 Absolut.

02:08:14 So far so good. It's going to look like it's a southern zone here.

02:08:44 Obviously, TSM just staying on their, you know, keeping their eyes up on anybody who might be approaching, but they are not moving much because they realize this is where the zone is most likely going to show up. Yeah, I mean, TSM are playing underneath at the moment. It's a little bit of a, I would say, a ropey position for the long game. A couple of nades, they don't really have a Watson gen to get down. They don't have the composition, which is good for holding this space, but they're going to have to just kind of brute force it. But they're in a good spot when you look at the zone, right?

02:09:13 ... ... ... ... ...

02:09:33 Ja, sie sind weit weg. Ja, sie sind weit weg. Ja, sie sind weit weg. Das ist mir auf meine Rink-Game. Ich bin für das Blumag oder so. Ich kann es nicht. Ja, ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen 2x4. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk. Ich habe einen Stalk.

02:09:59 mit unserer Sight-Choice. Und das ist okay. Du hast einen Evo Harvester mit den 3x. Ich liebe einen Ranger als auch. Und SKD Mark ist jetzt auf die High-Ground. Sie wissen, dass sie nicht wirklich schnell genug sind, um das Final Zone zu machen. Mark, aber sie sind hier auf den Topen, warten für diese Rotationen. Da ist ein Evo Harvester nebenbei, als auch. Sie werden wollen. Meanwhile, eine große Bedeutung hier ist, C9. Und natürlich Liquid Alienware ist hier.

02:10:24 Yeah, C9 have the armor advantage here, so they're more than happy to take this fight. Liquid are trying to force their way in for now, and C9 want to try and rotate away from this, but they're kind of caught between the decision they want to make. You can see, do they want to climb? Do they want to stay low? Do they want to take the fight? And if you end up taking those few extra seconds to make that decision, they're the ones that can cost you, and it has cost them, because they've had to expend the ultimate now. The Dark Veil has gone down. That won't be available for a few more minutes, and they have to expend some resources to heal. So Team Liquid saw an opportunity there to try and...

02:10:53 Das ist so true. Liquid Alienware in 7th place. Overextending would be a problem, but I just have this feeling that they're not content leaving them there. I feel like they do want to pressure this. I'm not sure that they're going to risk it too much. There's already a smoke that goes on it. Was that from Niazul is the question, or somebody else? Maybe even from C9.

02:11:21 Either way, they're peeking. They're seeing. Don't take a step out of line. Otherwise, we will be there for you. LG's still on hide. I like their spot as well. They've kind of fought TSM off of that bridge. And so I really like where they've positioned here. Still 20 teams alive though, Mark. And so all this positioning hasn't resulted in any one team going down.

02:11:42 A lot of teams are live at the moment, and you have to say the quality of these games has been very, very good so far, and this one's looking to kind of continue with that pattern, right? At the moment you've got EC, who are trying to rotate their way in from the northern side towards...

02:11:59 Launchpad that you can see in front of you right now. Empire are holding down one of the buildings. It's going to be safe, but just safe. It's the teams that are coming in from the east side, which is going to be the most interesting, and the north a little bit later on. The likes of Disguise and SKD, who are having maybe a little look at each other right now over at Stormcatcher, because they're the ones who are going to have to move through the open ground. They're the ones who are going to have to hope when they approach the zone they have purples and reds, because they're going to be forced to fight their way in, and if they don't have that armor advantage, it's going to be even more difficult to do.

02:12:26 I agree. And I think one of the interesting things too, you know, as this position is, is, you know, hey, they're on the screen. Let's talk DSG, right? Can they find a little bit of rhythm here? This is a relatively tough staircase to go up and back. And that's why they're going to use just this Wraith Portal. I think they might have gone for, you know, a different type of rotation and just said, we're not going to play this one right now this way. And obviously in zone, they're confident in being able to take that.

02:12:55 On the other side, it's not moist as well. So it's not like they have that much more of a better spot. Look on your map. You're going to see them coming in on the very north side, just starting to walk in. Not moist is right there. So DSG, even with the Wraith Portal, it's going to be so tough to get past. What? What? That Hitlock Sentinel from Design and Timmy goes hard.

02:13:18 Das war's für heute.

02:13:38 Walsi ist, unfortunately, 4, nicht Moist, der Spieler findet es erst. Walsi ist tot. Ich meine, was ein Grenade. Er hat Gildersons, das ist großartig. Das ist so viel Feuer, auf Moist. MT ist literally 1 health. Die Enemy ist low, too. Aber look at das. Wer ist late zu der Party, aber vielleicht gerade auf Zeit. Es ist SKD, Marc. Aber sie wollen nicht commit?

02:13:59 They're going around the back. I think they're worried that someone might be coming for them as well. I think this is smart from SKD, but it's just indecisive, Mark. I don't know if it's going to work out at all. Both sides now pressured. SKD have to commit one way or the other. Yeah, I think they know they can't now zone wrap themselves and because Tempur are there who are watching and that was one of those situations where I was like...

02:14:20 This could be Temper just getting a free kill and that is the end of SKD's game because they tried to zone wrap and they tried to mirror what Disguise did but it just didn't work because they got caught off guard then they tried to wrap back and all of a sudden they are in a horrible position so SKD now

02:14:35 The easiest way to get out of a horrible position if you've got a little bit of space is to hit the Evac Tower and that's exactly what they do. They will overtake the skies, they will try and scarper in a land in and among the waterfalls. Native Gaming in the meantime, they've been eliminated by Flats, so a couple of quiet games for Native and...

02:14:50 Ja, Flatt hat einen guten Platz hier. Sie sind jetzt richtig, dass Flatt wirklich sehr interessant ist, weil Flatt war ein paar Team. Ich glaube, es war ein Team, aber ich glaube, es war ein Team. Ich glaube, es war ein Team, aber es war ein Team.

02:15:10 It looks like Complexity have just thrown that veil, knowing that if they go down that hill, Flat will have to follow them. But Flat have at least another zone to figure out a plan. And it might be just enough time to push Complexity into DSG.

02:15:24 Oh, Kim Chi goes down. Shot's coming in and Complexity, who decided to try and back out of that. The only problem was the spot that they left open. But when they tried to return to it, everybody was focusing it because they heard that fight going down. But DSG, who did land in zone a few moments ago, well, now they've got to win a fight against Tempo. Shot's coming in here from Designful. The hit fire with the Havoc is good. And they will get the win in that teamfight as Tempo will be eliminated. But the shots and the angles are just leaving them exposed. Designful trying to play around a knockdown, but...

02:15:51 You get the feeling that DSG might not be long for this game. Two players alive, Flatt now has to risk pushing. I don't think they like Disgai's spot. I think if they push, they die there as well. So in a way, Disgai's terrible spot in this zone might just save their life, at least for now. What does Flatt do and how do they start to play it? That's a big question, but it's really SKD Mark and Stallions in front of them. Beautiful shots from that Prowler. Shubi!

02:16:15 Sie haben eine gute Arbeit hier mit der SMG, einer der nur einen wir sehen. Und wieder mit keinen Shield, fühlen Sie sich nicht zufrieden. Sie sind alle in.

02:16:26 Well, Disguise have been eliminated, so Designful wasn't able to survive. This fight continues to go here, and it's gonna be Stallions who are looking to clean up some damage. Noct has been finished off as well, so it's down to Shubi and Dropped to try and clutch up. Dropped, of course, the new addition to this team, but Shubi, he's the clutch master for the team. He's gotta win this 1v1. He's trying to swing, trying to finish off this kill, but he can't quite do it, so it will be a 1v1 that will continue for a little bit longer.

02:16:50 I like it, though, and you just get the rest because you force it. Make it predictable. He's got to push or he's dead. There's nothing he can do there. That Thermite is just, it's a shot in the dark, and honestly, it's a day late and a dollar short. Retzi must leave, and that is a good play, a good bait, and Shubi should be able to get this one off. Yeah, Stallions do get eliminated. It's a shot from distance onto Retzi with a Kraber.

02:17:10 Does that work? I have not actually seen that that way. Maybe it's just my unfamiliarity with that ultimate, but my goodness.

Interessante Ultima-Nutzung und Teamkämpfe

02:17:38

02:17:38 That's some interesting uses there, and Syce showing us a little bit of not just the vision, which you can see, that is a very common use to see a little bit farther holding that ultimate out. You don't have to use it, but maybe just saying, hey, we are willing to go all in on this fight as well, so you cannot rotate. LG should be able to clean this one up, although he is in zone, in the smoke. It's a lot of damage by now, and wow, he found a little bit of safety, but you gotta think that's the end of it.

02:18:06 Ich habe zu folgen, nicht Moist als auch. Almost down, Empty, der letzte one surviving. SKV Mark also eliminated, 12 squads left as the chaos continues.

02:18:15 Well, Presley's gonna go down here. A little bit of damage coming in from all sorts of areas. You can see that Hambino's trying to get the Shield Swords to survive, but he's stunned. He's taking damage from all sorts of alts coming in, as well as Furia trying to swing on this one to clean up the damage. And this might be C9 going in a few seconds as well. There's one more solo in the area. Furia do get it. But the problem here for both teams is the teams who are chasing the solos on both C9 and Edges, well, they get those kills on the solos, but then they engage with each other. LG were on the other side of it, but Furia looked like they've backed down from that fight.

02:18:44 LG haben das auch gemacht.

02:19:10 So, as they move, the question is, well, I'll just start to pick on them, because those two teams, the top two threats, two TSM getting that third win and earning a bonus point here, they're the closest ones to fighting each other. Well, again, it's another example here on Stormpoint, a zone that we haven't seen in quite some time, right? Usually, we've seen with these Launchpad zones, it pulls out towards the Fingers, maybe towards the Warforce to the East. Well, this time, it's Bang Center. Vanity will be eliminated. In the meantime, we're down to eight squads, and Eternal EC, well...

02:19:38 They're trying to play this wall line in the moment, trying to use it as cover, and if they can do so successfully, they're going to be inside of that next zone. It's everyone like Furia, Borde, NGNL, and LG who have to move in, and while all this is going down, by the way, TSM has just been hiding underneath in that tunnel. They're still on blue armors. They haven't been able to output a lot of damage, but they're still alive, and that's all that matters.

02:20:00 It is all that matters at the end of the day. I think when you look at it, TSM, this is what those little things, that experience, that intelligence, doesn't really have to do with the hard work here. But the fact that they just didn't take that fight against LG, who's still alive, by the way, and both teams getting value from it. Fury, it takes a little bit of the Rolling Thunder. Madness is going to be stunned just a bit, but have plenty of time and safety to hit that shield battery. Scans up in two seconds, and so eight squads left, he'll have a good...

02:20:26 Das ist ein bisschen informiert, was Apex Legends ist wie? Man kann dieses Spiel ohne zu sehen, wo die Leute sind durch die Wallen. Aber es fühlt sich nicht so in ProPlay für den letzten halben Jahr. Führer hat gut gemacht und sagt, wir werden die Bloodhound, wir werden die Katalistin halten und versuchen es zu finden, um uns zu finden, um die Zone zu gewinnen und gewinnen.

02:20:44 Ich denke, dass die L.G. eine Menge Lüge haben ist, dass die Lüge eine Menge Lüge haben. Ich kann sehen, dass die Fong zwei Säge haben, also ich sage, dass die Lüge eine Menge Lüge haben. Aber die Menge Lüge haben, dass sie ein paar Lüge haben.

02:20:57 ... ... ... ... ...

02:21:19 NG and L from the high ground hitting some nice scout shots.

02:21:48 in den Top 10, das ist was wir für ihn in Game 2 haben, und jetzt hat er es endlich geschafft. Es wird es wert, denn sie sind 4 Punkte entfernt von 2.0 und sie sind 15 Punkte entfernt von 1.0. Und sie haben sie gewonnen. Sie haben es von TSM. TSM wird ziemlich glücklich sein, was sie sehen in front of sie sind, und da sind ein Dogfails.

02:22:08 Oh! Oh! Oh!

Spannungsgeladene Endphase und Empire Gaming's Sieg

02:22:34

02:22:34 Es sahen wie TSM war gegen jemanden, der noch nicht zurückgekehrt war. Das war großartig von ihnen. Und jetzt haben sie ihre Leid zu 55 Punkte. 4 Quads leften. Sie haben es wieder in die Situation. LG ist wieder in die Situation. Es ist FURIA, NGNL, Empire Gaming und TSM hier in der Final Four, mit nur 12 Spieler left. Und jetzt die Clim-Up ist massiv hier für TSM. Können sie lange genug genug sind? Können sie nicht mehr aufhören? Können sie nicht mehr aufhören, als die Veils fallen? Es ist Zeit für uns zu Ende der Final-Act.

02:23:00 Wow, so many different ways that could have gone as well.

02:23:21 Bursting Arc and Wi-Fi, another Fuse dub. That is at least three out of four Fuse wins today in the ALGS. And it's not only marking good news for the character, but it's marking good news for the name change. Ape Gang, now Empire Gaming, and they get their first win in our Match Day 3.

02:23:41 Yeah, very impressive stuff from them just surviving. And I think just being the benefactors of that Dark Veil falling last just gave them a great opportunity. I think TSM were in a really good spot, but just took a little bit of damage before they had to...

02:23:55 Decide when the right time was to hit that climb up, to get involved in that final fight. And even though they did some good damage, and I'm pretty sure they would have got second place if I wasn't mistaken, it's just a case sometimes of just having that advantage of height, right? Getting that damage down and allowing yourself to have the cover with the Dark Veil for the longest before you have to engage. It was perfect in-game management, actually, from a lot of those teams. And it was just Empire who did it best.

02:24:17 Yeah, great stuff from Empire as well. And, you know, we're looking at this. We'll see stats in just a second. But they've definitely jumped up into have one more game like that, have two more games like that. You're looking at a top five. But can you be consistent? Empire Gaming with a win? Obviously, that is going to be valuable as well. TSM were right there. Would have been the third win on the day for TSM with Rebs Verhulst and Zap finding a way to be successful in this lobby three out of four times. But it will be a second place here. And one of the things that they've been so good at.

02:24:47 Das ist gut genug, besonders für sie, weil sie wollen. In Park Gaming, eine 20-bomb ist, was sie brauchen. Und es ist noch ein guter Performance von Furium.

02:25:09 Ja, ich meine, es ist Empyre Gaming, die die gewinnen, aber ich denke, wenn du TSM heute und nach vier Jahren hast du zwei Wins in eine Sekunde hast, dann würde ich...

02:25:17 Ich glaube, es war ein paar Worte für sie in den letzten Spiel zu bekommen.

02:25:47 Und es ist gut zu sehen LG und Sweet finden diese Rhythm, natürlich mit dem neuen Squad zu kommen. Liquid Alienware.

02:26:09 A team we had highlighted earlier, a one-pointer. It's still going to keep them in the top ten, but they're going to want more from that. Disguise, 17th place and six kills. Well, that shows a very difficult road to 17th, and we saw a lot of it on camera as well. Two more games to get the act together for one of the fan favorites here as we compare our top three teams. Mark, it was NGNL Esports, who despite not getting second or first and not even coming close to leading the kills, the damage.

02:26:38 Was insane from Jtrips. Yeah, I will say, by the way, that's probably infuriating in some ways because you've done so much damage, you've contributed to so many fights, but to come away with it with just four kills and four points, that's got to be a little bit frustrating, right? A lot of that damage may have been forcing teams away, which allows them to get into that third place, but maybe there's a couple of headshots that just didn't land and it was bodies instead that maybe means that there wasn't the kills that went to them, but the difference...

02:27:04 In play style was shown by the damage stats, right? TSM, who basically played hard zone, played for that spot, didn't want to show too much presence, and you can see that in their kills and damage. I mean, almost both teams, right? I think Arcology and Squad, they had almost less damage than TSM, just a little bit more. So it was definitely two teams who played zone, and that worked out for them, and they were able to find themselves active in those final fights, which I like. I think I like teams that are willing to take that approach, because you're going to get kills, you're going to get fights, you're going to get KP.

TSM's Führung und Strategische Überlegungen

02:27:33

02:27:33 If you stay alive until that top three, because guess what? There's nobody else to fight. You got to go into it. So TSM in this position, stay at the lead. They're 15 points ahead of Furia, who are having a very good day. LG right behind them. It starts to open up space here when EEC rounds out fourth to 31. But from fourth place all the way down to 11th, there's only about eight points of a difference. And that means it's very much anybody's game heading into our back two games at Stormpoint.

02:28:00 It does. I mean, there's still an opportunity for the likes of Fury at LG to overtake TSM with two games still to go. There's still an opportunity for those teams who are struggling a little bit down in that bottom 10 to jump up into that top 10. So this is a big last two games for some of these teams. And I think I don't expect those leaderboards to look exactly the same when we get to the end of today. You know, I will leave this to probably you and Dan to focus on or at least touch on, but not moist.

02:28:25 Three points after four, that is surprising. I mean, this is a team that, you know, we're talking about maybe winning LAN based on the performances that they've had before coming into the split and now going into a new split, a team that's relatively unchanged. You got to say, something's going on. Maybe it's rotations. Maybe it's just the luck of the day. Maybe it's the draft.

02:28:45 We'll find out. I'll leave you and Dan to commentate on that and finish up our last two games coming up here in our ALGS NA Matchday 3 right after the break. Battle Beaver is the official controller partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

02:30:38 Ich denke, dass TSM so weit ist, das letzte Spiel ist. Ich denke, dass TSM so weit ist, egal ob sie gewonnen haben, es geht nicht wirklich. Ich denke, dass sie einfach zu bleiben müssen.

02:30:58 von der ganzen Pack, wenn sie das Matchday gewinnen wollen. Das ist gut für sie, weil sie so eine gute Draft hatten auf World's Edge hatten. Aber wir haben uns gefragt, ob Storm Point eine Situation, wo das POI ist nicht so erfolgreich. Die Begründung von den Ballen early in Match 4 bleibt sie in eine Position, wo Match 5 und Match 6, sie können sie versuchen, zu lassen sich ein bisschen zu lassen, weil sie eine kleine Gap haben.

Highlights, Strategien und Zonen-Vorhersagen

02:31:18

02:31:18 This is some of the highlights from our previous game that we did see. And that endgame. Fury in a really good spot as well as they tried to approach the zone. A little bit of damage coming in from the high ground. But this was the big moment just before for LG where they lost one player on their way towards the endgame. Meaning as a duo they just couldn't hold off the swing that came in from the three down on that low ground. Here's the Dark Veils. Here's the climb up that came in from TSM as well. But this is what I was talking about, right? The Dark Veils fall.

02:31:44 And last I have to engage was Empire. Great prioritisation to take down TSM as they decided to climb up. It was only reps to deal with in the final moments and deal with them. They did. The question is, are they going to be able to repeat that in the same way that TSM already have today? Will they be able to get another win on the board to shoot themselves back up the leaderboards?

02:32:02 Well, we'll certainly be hoping to. I think a lot of teams now are seeing that that gap is getting a little bit too much at the top. And if you want to be able to come away with this matchday, being the victor, you need to be putting points on the board and catching those leaders sooner rather than later. Because if you go into matchsticks too far behind, we already saw it in EMEA earlier on today, it is just impossible at times to try and gain that amount of kills, that amount of points in a very competitive lobby.

02:32:27 Well, as you can see, the players are dropping to their respective POIs that they've drafted right now. Empire, who won that previous game, all the way from the north side of the map, by the way, which makes it even more impressive. Although, we do know that Lightning Rider is one of the strongest POIs and certainly one of the most favorite to pick for the Extreme Loot Pool and Trident that is available. They do have a ring console available for them on drop as well, so they'll be able to get really good information on where this one is going to be going. But at this moment...

02:32:55 I'm not even prepared to guess, because I feel like I'm getting them all wrong at the moment. I don't even want to say this is a Jurassic Zone. I feel like this is a Jurassic Zone, but it could also, now because I've said it, go towards Pylon. Yeah, it could be one of those ones that pulls to the southeast of Pylon and the buildings, well, it's technically, I guess, just the east of Pylon and the buildings on that side, which would benefit TSM. I think one of the biggest indications we'll get is TSM have Ring Console, and they're going to be one of the earlier movers to the zone, so we'll get a big kind of...

02:33:24 ...situation, wo sie genau wo sie gerne spielen wollen. Flatt, sind sie auf Pylon? Ja, sie sind. Okay, so Flatt werden wir unsere ersten Komponenten haben, wo sie gehen können. Aber wenn es Jurassic ist, NGNL, dann wird sie in die beste Position mit dem Spiel sein. Interessant, das ist ein guter Punkt. Es ist die Draft POIs, right? Wo sind wir?

02:33:50 TSM ist ein sehr guter Beispiel von wie es kann, auch wenn du nicht ein POI hast, dass du wirklich wirst. Weil diese Zonen wir so far haben, hat eine gute Priorität. Und das ist noch ein weiteres. Und das ist noch ein weiteres. Und das ist noch ein weiteres. Du hast eine Woche, wo du hast, wo du einen Punkt mit einem Bad POI durch den Draft hast. Das sind die Zonen, die wahrscheinlich mehr werden, dann ein bisschen später, wenn du ein guter POI zu spielen hast und du fühlst dich ein bisschen mehr. Das sind die Punkte, die einfach mehr, weil es ein Tougher ist.

02:34:19 You would say arguable, tough our job to go and get those points knowing that it's a POI that you're not 100% comfortable on. But if the zones come to you and you have a little bit of fortune on your side, then knowing that you've got drafts that happen a little bit later on where you're going to get better picks on Stormpoint, it's going to fill them with so much confidence. There's always going to be an element of where the zone is and also do you get ring console? Do you get survey beacon? Do you have...

02:34:43 The ability to get said information and also get your shields up. Do you have an Evo Harvester that's going to be nearby? There's always going to be those elements that change things and can benefit you. And you can get lucky, you can get fortunate. There's always going to be that element of RNG to it. But you're completely right. TSM made it count when they had the good POI. But they put themselves in a position where even if they struggled here, it wouldn't matter that much because they got so many points on the board on World's Edge. But now they've got to make it count here as well. This is an opportunity where they can move.

TSM's Strategie und Teamkämpfe in Pylon

02:35:12

02:35:12 Relatively quickly, they can get all the information they would like. It looks like at the moment they're moving through Echo to get extra loot and see if they can pick up any remaining pieces and maybe get extra evil armor as well. So TSM should be in a good spot. There are a few teams who are not going to be...

02:35:27 ...necessarily as happy about where that circle is going to be going, because if it finishes in Jurassic, this is usually such a heavy rotation part of the map where everyone makes their way through. If there's a beacon there, you hit the beacon and you're on your way. But if you are arriving late to Jurassic, quite literally, the gates are going to be blocked off and they will stop you from getting into this POI. It's like trying to enter a gated community. That's what it's like, right? You need a passcode. You need the passcode. You don't want to upset the, uh...

02:35:53 The weird couple that live right by the gates and check everyone that comes in and out. We all know who they are. I don't live in a gated community, but I do so I just like I've always said that you are that kind of guy and now I now I know it should be true We don't have that in the UK just like to I like my safety is the one that's broken and people could walk into the shit Yeah, I'm not giving out anyone's

02:36:19 Anyone my code, by the way. I'm just gonna stay safe in my gated community. As I imagine, NGNLR. It just means it's nice. Yeah, exactly. It's safe, it's tidy, and I appreciate it, you know? I'm a very well-kept young man. I'm coming to visit. Please do. And I'm gonna leak the code. I'm basically now trying to get some shots down from height.

02:36:43 Ich habe deine Backs, wir sind alle, wir sind alle, wir sind alle, wir sind alle, wir sind alle. 6-0, wir sind jetzt 30 Punkte auf dem Board. Aber ein paar Punkte sind die Problems, man würde sagen, vielleicht rearing their head für diese Komplexity Roster in diesen Games ist, gute Games, aber nicht big win-Games, richtig? Nicht gewinnen, converting Top 5s into 1sts. Und es ist etwas zu schauen, wenn wir die Conversion Rates ein bisschen später, als wir ein bisschen mehr Daten bekommen haben, wie erfolgreich sie sind in 10th und ...

02:37:10 in die Top 10 und dann woher sie enden Platz sind, denn ich denke, das ist sicherlich ein bisschen was sie müssen. Das ist wie Rain Day für einen Moment. Complexity, Big Win Games. Me, Rain Day. Ich bin ehrlich gesagt, ich war vielleicht ein bisschen mehr von Complexity, und ich denke, das ist das, was passiert, wenn man ein Successful scrim ist, dass man natürlich einen Augenblick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen Blick auf einen

02:37:35 A spot where they can push for those top positions and get a good amount of points, especially if they can find a good game here. But they are moving all the way from the northeast, so it is going to be a long journey for them. Likelihood, they'll go through the likes of Stormcatcher. If they wanted to, they could go through Command Center, actually, because then they would have beacons. But at the moment, we're watching Native. They have found a spot in the northeast of the zone as we check in Pylon. Everyone who's gone to Pylon is really hoping for a zone shift this way. Believe me.

02:38:05 I think waiting with bated breath is the terminology. And I also think that everyone who is here probably knows they're going to be disappointed as well in a little bit. But they're here for it. They're going to see what happens. And TSM are going to be here. The Edges are going to be here as well. And of course LG that are on our screens as well. We're third place overall with 39 points. So you can see how close it is. We just looked at Complexity a few moments ago. And they weren't too far behind when it comes to points. But certainly we're a little bit further behind when it came to placement.

02:38:35 LG, obwohl sie in 3rd sind, will wissen, wie vulnerable und fragile das Points-Total ist. Und ein paar große große Spiels hier sind sehr, sehr wichtig für sie, für sie zu solidarieren. Aber work ist zu tun, hier für LG. Eurgh. Bruder, eurgh. Ich habe nur gesehen, dass. Ich habe nur gesehen, dass. Und es ist nicht gut, für diejenigen, die auf Pilem warten, für wo es geht. Baited Breath, als du gesagt hast, weil sie alle müssen zu schiffen.

02:39:02 NGNL, die in den Evo war, ist noch eine bessere Position. Du warst über LG, und du hast gesagt, du hast du das, du hast du das, du hast du das, du hast du das. LG würde nicht sogar aus der Position, weil sie die Evo harvester wollten, aber sie könnten. Es gibt auch viele Teams in Pylon.

02:39:21 And if you can't push out to get an Evo Harvester, how are you going to push out to get into the next zone? That's my biggest question. You're going to have to take a fight at some point, or pick your moment perfectly, maybe when other teams are fighting, and you can use it as a distraction. I mean, this is a really interesting decision now for how do you play this for the teams that are in Pylon, right? Because you could say, oh, we could go east, we could do this, but leaving Pylon with the extreme verticality and lines of sight that teams like the Edges are going to have up on top...

02:39:48 It means even leaving Pylon full stop is tough to do. You're kind of hoping the team who is up on top is going to rotate first and allow you to then rotate afterwards. But tough decisions to make. Vanity are moving their way in towards Pylon as well. I think that might frustrate a few teams who are in Pylon at the moment and thinking this is our way to leave. But another team who's going to be a little bit frustrated at the moment is not Moist. They are propping up the leaderboards at the moment, Dan. They've only managed three points.

02:40:14 So far in the four games that we've had.

02:40:42 Ich würde es nicht passen, es ist einfach ein schwieriger Tag so far.

02:41:05 We have an evac? I think we can stabilize in the choke across from Jurassic. I think we can stabilize over here. I think we can stabilize right there. Oh, what if there's a team? What if there's a team there that would just die? They would be shooting. They would be shooting right now. I'm about to evac. Deep. That's it. Evac. Back. I think Virginia gets shot at. Go.

02:41:32 Just save this shit, please. I'm getting shot, I'm getting shot. You're good, you're good, you're good, you're good. Keep coming. You're getting probably land safe on pills. Land safe pills, land safe pills. On me, on me. Save, save, save, save on me. Yes, yes, I cracked one. Just save lights here.

02:41:55 We get walked up on over here, I'm pretty sure. Actually. No, there's a team here. There's a team here, they're fighting across though.

02:42:14 Wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier

02:42:45 Oh, ich bin nicht wirklich safe.

DSG's Schwierigkeiten und Complexity's Potenzial

02:43:18

02:43:18 The word of the day is stabilize, everybody. Stabilize. And that's what DSG were trying to do, but it's not working out for them at the moment. It seemed like there was a little bit of confusion about where they wanted to play, where they wanted to port to, and having initially hit that evac down, it just never felt comfortable. And I hate to keep saying it, but I just feel like there is a lot more to offer from other Legends, and Wraith can put you in some sticky spots sometimes. Yes, you can get out of dodge as well, but at the moment, DSG sadly could not get out of said sticky spot.

02:43:47 Ja, wirklich wichtig für Complexity ist es, dass sie sich nicht mehr in den Wettbewerben sind, wo es nicht mehr in den Wettbewerben sind.

02:44:08 That KP now allows them to move in from the western side of Stormpoint. SKD, the Skiddies, as we love to call them. Well, they're trying to do something from the northern side of this zone as well. And they're trying to kind of move through the similar area that we saw from DSG a little bit ago. Great spray coming in from Drop to break some shields, but does not get that knock.

02:44:25 Ja, Complexity might be able to jump in on all of this action that's happening on the northern side. You've got Skid, you've got NotMoist, you've got Empire and the remainder of Disguise that are all likely to fight here. If Complexity can time this right, there is a lot of potential KP for them if they're able to move in. You can also see NotMoist, there's one player still alive that might be going down soon. Liquid Alienware get eliminated, NotMoist do get eliminated, and Skid have been able to find a little bit of consistency on this northern side. Yeah, NotMoist out again.

02:44:53 Es ist ein wirklich, wirklich schwerer Tag für sie. Sie haben noch einen Spiel zu gehen, aber es ist nicht der Tag, wie man sich von einem Team aus dem Team hält. FURIA jetzt in, sie haben einen guten Tag heute. Und das Schwingen, das Death Ball ist devastend. Und Stallions get pinched, squashed und run over. FURIA haben das ein paar Mal heute gemacht.

02:45:14 All pushing in the same direction and swinging at the same time and targeting correctly. So impressed with Furia's display and they are keeping within TSM. Second place at the moment, of course, and still with an opportunity to walk away with all of the points here today. Now, flat on the southern side, they've got LG to their east, who is their biggest concern. But sadly, if they move north, they walk into edges. They walk into the likes of Furia.

02:45:38 You really have to try and go over the top of everything if you're not going to force your way, but I don't think they have an evac tower to do so. So this fight might have to happen against LG. Someone's going to have to do some big damage here. Funk doesn't have his ultimate available. It doesn't have a scan for at least nine seconds as well, but that big damage does come in. Are they going to be able to play off of it though? That's the question. Funk is trying to create an opening. Sweet is trying to use the M&K movement to create a little bit of space, create a distraction for them. But again, not able to do so quite yet. The Arc Star isn't going to do damage.

LG's Chancen und Furias Aufstieg

02:46:08

02:46:08 Aber mit 40 Sekunden zu gehen, Funker hat es geschafft. Jetzt kann er einen Angle finden. Das ist die Frage hier. Funker wird Pup. Funker wird getötet. Es ist nicht der Nog, aber es ist Flesch. Es ist vieles, und sie können auf das, wenn sie wollen. Die Evac Tower ist da, wenn sie einen Backup machen wollen.

02:46:25 Aber sie werden nicht mehr Zeit machen, es wird so gehen, also sie werden müssen. Also habe ich gesagt über Complexity gesagt, sie müssen den Kampf gegen Skid gehen, aber LG sollte sich auf den Weg gehen. Die Knuckle Cluster kann auch viel zu tun tun, und die Grenzen werden jetzt gehen.

02:46:41 Ja, und das ist die Liebe von Fuse. Er ist die Ultima Bunker Buster. Und wenn du ein Team hast, wenn du den Knuckle Cluster getötet hast, dann kannst du diese Füße so schnell machen. Es ist Zeit für den Schwingen. Behind den Gold Nogdown, das sollte LG sein können. Aber nein! Oh nein! Oh nein, nein, nein! Nano sagt nein!

02:47:01 How on earth have you pulled that off? That is the Gold Knockdown Shield being at its very best, by the way. And LG confidently pushing in, thinking they had one up there, but Flat survive. Flat are not going to be able to get back up to a full three, but that is tough to watch for LG for sure. And their chances now of winning the entire day could have been flushed down the drain there and then, because we still have some of the other teams that are ahead of them alive. Furia, for example, still on the go on this southern side. They're just outside the gate of Jurassic.

02:47:30 I'm sat here right now with my hand over my mouth. I can't believe what I've just seen from NRG. That is a mistake that they do not make very often. And one that they're going to certainly root. Empire looks like they're going to go down as well as we see more teams and more players falling as everybody is forced together. Native's still alive, by the way, as are the Skinny Boys. They're still here. Complexity, now they're all dressed in red as well. They've managed to get to full red Evo Shields on their way towards their zone as well. Sixth place SKD at the moment.

02:47:59 Ja, ich denke, SKD in dieser Position auf der South-East ist, wenn sie in die Position auf den Süd-East behalten können, sie werden in einer solchen Spots, wo sie ein guter Platz werden können, wenn nicht in die Final-Circle. Aber Komplexity sind auch auf voll Reds hier. Sie sind eine reale Herausforderung. Wenn du SKD bist, musst du darauf an, dass Komplexity die Initiative zu geben, um das Initial Damage zu gehen und dann push-up.

02:48:24 If you get enough damage onto a Complexity member, I wouldn't hate getting aggressive here and just pushing out of your position to ensure that you hold the eastern side. Well Complexity got to make the move. The zone is going to force them to do so in around 20 seconds or so. They're trying to creep up. They want to take this spot away. You can see where the pings are coming in. That's where they want to play. The difficulty here for SKD is they are trapped in a corner. Didn't have the Bangalore ultimate available. There was a couple of Oexels that were dropped as well.

02:48:52 Das Tripp hits a 140, but it's not enough to get the knot. We'll have keen eyes on Furia, as do NGNL right now. They're watching Edges, they're watching Furia. Both teams hesitant to push up because of the Kramer. Watching them! And that's a double whammy! Yeah, that'll get it done. That'll get it done.

02:49:14 A little collateral action coming in from Trips at the moment, but the zone is going to be closing in a few seconds and they will have to move. He just wants one more opportunity to hit one more shot. Instead, he's going to have to change out to the Prowler. The Kraber did a lot more damage than that did, but Edges will finally be eliminated. Now we are down to just five. Well, Fury have used Edges here to escape, get out of Jurassic, and now they're pushing up onto Skid and Complexity also sandwiching them. So there are three teams all in the same area right now. Fury are backing off slightly. They can see them through the gate here.

02:49:44 und sie wollen nicht zu nahe zu ihm.

02:49:59 ...und clean up a little bit more of that damage. But they have to force their way through here, otherwise they're gonna be trapped. And most importantly, this means FURIA are now catching TSM. They're only one point behind first place. If they get into the top three, which they do, suddenly FURIA are level with TSM at the top of the leaderboard, setting us up for an incredible Match 6 here today of Day 3 of Split 2 Pro League. But can FURIA go one step further? Can they get...

02:50:23 A victory to call it yet another one on the board as a respawn beacon has been put down. Native Gaming, NGNL and Furia are last three teams. Rambo might have something to say about this endgame. He is being redeployed.

02:50:40 Und der langhaired Hero, der Mann, der in die Hand war, ist zurück in diesem Spiel. R9, in der Hand von RK, und ich weiß, dass er nicht so gut ist. Ich bin jokin. Ich hoffe, dass er ein guter Clip für ihn hat. Das ist gut, als ich guter Clip für ihn habe. Ja, Blut, meh. Purple, ich würde mich gut mit. Aber die R9 in der Hand kann noch ein bisschen tun. Es ist nur die Clip-Size. Du musst bereit sein.

02:51:07 But there's a bit of a standoff at the moment. Everyone reluctant to poke out. You can see native gaming, whichever side they go at, they're being targeted by a certain team. And this is actually a really fun final circle because the only things you've got to hide behind are kind of trees and rocks. And then there is a very central area where everyone is going to meet. And this is perfect for a three versus three versus three. If there was four teams, it might be a bit messy. But now it becomes a game of bravery. Who kind of peeks first? Who has to force themselves out?

02:51:35 Führer ist der Weg. Führer ist der Weg. Führer ist der Weg. Führer ist der Weg. Führer ist der Weg.

02:51:45 FURIA get that first knock. FURIA get the second as well. Native Gaming get eliminated. The Shield Swamp's come in. But is it enough now to hold off the push coming in from NG and L? They're gonna swing themselves. Native Gaming, they don't have anything to say about this endgame as NG and L move in to clean up the last pieces of FURIA. Surely this is their game. NG and L will be your champions of game number five. Well NG and L who dropped at Jurassic will win the game in Jurassic.

02:52:11 They will be delighted to be able to clean things up there. It was a big swing from Fury. It opened up the door for NGNL, but you still have to time it correctly and you still have to put yourself in that position to begin with. It's a big victory for them, but on the flip side, you've got to look at what Fury have just done. They have now jumped above TSM. They will be at the top of the leaderboard going into match six.

02:52:32 It just sets us up so beautifully, doesn't it? You mentioned it perfectly. TSM fell pretty early in that game, which kind of opened things up a little bit. Furia, with that great performance in that penultimate game, now put themselves maybe up on top of the pile. It's going to be extremely close, but so many different changes are going to happen in the leaderboards and right at the top, which means game number six, as I love to say all the time, Dan, when we get to game six, it's all to play for. But it really does hold some weight now, that statement.

02:52:57 Yeah, I think that both TSM and FURIA realized that there was a massive opportunity here to pick up all the points. And we said it right at the top of the show, when you don't have the likes of Falcons, you don't have the likes of Space Station in this lobby, if you can walk away the victor here, you are going to be delighted and you will be seen as the next maybe big team that is a real threat. And maybe everyone else is saying, all right, well, there is someone new added to the game-changing ability here.

02:53:21 Yeah, it's not just a two-horse race. We're going to see more horses in this race and we're going to go right down to the finish line as well by the looks of things today. It really, I can't remember a game day in Pro League which has come down to the final moments and been so close for quite a while. I mean, Falcons, when they've been playing, they seem to have sponged a lot of the points away. SSG, like you mentioned, have been the two runaway teams, but this really is set up so, so well for this final game. And when you're looking at zones and you're looking at what I had to play, again, like...

02:53:48 Das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist ein Zones, das ist

02:54:17 Sie vielleicht nicht haben die beste POI-Selektion. Ich glaube, NGNL hat Jurrasik 27 in der POI-Draft gewonnen. Aber sie wurden gewonnen, mit der Zone kam zu ihnen, und sie hat die Chance gegeben. Ja, sie hatten nicht die meisten Punkte, aber sie haben die Victory. Sie haben 6 Kills, sie haben 18 Punkte. Aber es ist FURIA, die die Vizienten kommen, mit den 11 Kills auf der 2.

02:54:39 Ja, massive amount of kills there for Furia, and we saw a couple of their deathballs, and they are looking extremely scary when all three players just dive in, holding down fire and hip-firing away to make sure that they just clean up as many kills as quickly as possible. Nektive Gaming, their first real strong performance of today as well, seven kills alongside their third-place finish. They probably feel a little bit hard done by in that endgame with Furia, the team who pushed onto them.

02:55:03 Basically play for second in that situation. Complexity, good KP as well as placements for them means 14 points. And SKD just behind them as well. Six points in total for them. I think that that game was an interesting one right from the get-go when we had several teams in Pylon that all had to move up into Jurassic. But it's one of those circles you look at and you gamble. Sometimes you're later, so you have to take the gamble. You have to take what is the more unlikely pull.

02:55:27 Und es war für die meisten der Teams. Es ging um Jurassic. LG ist 11th Platz. Was könnte es sein? Was könnte es sein mit der Position, wenn sie die Upper Hand hatten? War es ein 3v1? Ich denke, dass sie vielleicht ein 2v1 in der Ende verloren haben. Ich weiß nicht, was ist es. Ich weiß nicht, was ist es. Ich denke, das ist ein Spiel. Das ist ein Spiel sie sollen.

02:55:49 Ich denke, es ist eine solche, dass du nicht zurückkehren kannst, denn es ist nicht so, dass du nicht zurückkehren kannst. Es ist nicht so, dass du nicht wieder zurückkehren kannst. Es ist einfach so, dass das in dieser Situation. Aber was es bedeutet, mit den KP, die LG haben, ist, dass sie halt auf, um zu beenden, in den Top-2-Teams zu beenden. Sie sind in 4th place. Es ist ein bisschen daylight zwischen NGNL und NGNL.

02:56:10 In behind them, SKD. They'll be looking to bump themselves up. Three teams tied on 35 points. And FURIA do indeed take over that number one spot from TSM, who for the first time today end up with zero points as they go out early. Now, I've said it a few times. I'm going to say it once more because we are set up beautifully for the final game of the day. And we will get to that final game. Game number six is coming up just after this break.

02:58:10 Yeah, I can't wait to see where this one goes. I think that FURIA have now really set a statement in match number five and the real question is...

02:58:37 Can TSM answer back? It's been like ping-pong, back and forth between these two teams. FURIA have got a win, TSM have got a win, TSM have got another win, but now can we see FURIA put one on the board to solidify the points at the top of the table here? Of course, NGNL had something to say about that in match number five, but here going into match six, we know the zone is going to play a big difference, but I think the confidence of both FURIA and TSM is something we have to talk about.

02:59:02 Es ist ein sehr, sehr interessantes Spiel hier. Und die Zone ist großartig, weil TSM hat ein sehr guter Priorität zu diesen Zonen. Die Frage ist, ob es das eine gute Priorität zu haben, oder ob sie müssen zu arbeiten, für ihre erste Win-Win dieses Spiel?

02:59:19 These Stormpoint games have been brilliant. You said it in Match 4. That was one of the most exciting Stormpoint games you'd seen in a while.

02:59:44 The same for Match 5, I love that final circle, I love the aggression we had to see from certain teams. Yeah, okay, NGN and L, they were kind of gifted it at the end, but it was more the swings we saw from certain teams to try and really get those kills on the board. And Fury have realized that maybe the victory isn't what they need, it's the points. And if they saw 3kp there and available for them, sometimes that can be as good as a win in the late game. Well, here we go then. That zone doesn't tell us too much, apart from it's going to be a little bit more central.

03:00:12 Well, Oblivion say thank you very much.

03:00:38 If they've got a Ring console, do they have a Ring console? Maybe not. Native Gaming are going to be pretty good in terms of their position. I think Vanity actually could be in a spot where they can move very fast as well, but...

03:00:49 Ah, das Zone ist sehr N-South-heavy, richtig? Da ist eine große Helle, die man muss, und wenn man kommt von der Souten Seite ist, dann wird es eine Herausforderung für dich. So, move quickly, get in die Zone, try and find one of those Spots. Wenn man eine der Team, die sich nicht mehr so weitermachen kann, dann muss man sich anschauen, dann muss man sich anschauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu schauen, um, zu

Strategische Spielanalyse und Teampositionen im späten Spiel

03:01:14

03:01:14 Well, LG, who are going to have to mentally reset from that last game and the disappointment of that fight, which to be honest, I'm sorry to LG fans and I'm sorry to Sweet to bring it up again, but it's something that quite simply cannot happen in those moments where you've done the hard work, you've just got to finish it off. But one thing I just wanted to highlight there was we have a very fascinating zone for a number of reasons, right? If you're looking at first and second place, TSM and Furia, if you were to draw a straight line, I think from where this end zone is going to be,

03:01:42 Es ist quasi identisch, wie die Distanz zu gehen. So zu gewinnen, das Match Day zu gewinnen, eine von diesen Teams ist, wird es nicht gegeben werden. Sie werden es nicht gegeben haben, sie werden es gewinnen. Und sie sind in einer anderen Distanz und einer anderen Difficulty, wenn sie so wollen.

03:02:00 Und ich denke, die Wahrheit ist, dass es nur zwischen den beiden Teams ist. Komplexty und LG haben zu tun viel zu viel, realistisch, um zu den Nr. 1 zu sein. Es wäre ein 20-plus-pointes Spiel, das nicht falsch, ist es für beide Komplexty und LG, aber dann muss es dann auch mit either FURIA, oder, wenn nicht beide FURIA und TSM fallen early. Aber es ist noch eine Möglichkeit, also ich will, die Chance für Komplexty und LG.

03:02:26 Unlikely, at this point. But we'll have to see how the game goes on. Native find themselves in one of the better positions for this circle. We spoke about the north to south divide here. I think they'll be pretty happy with their position. I always think this is a difficult building to hold, though. Speaking of which, complexity. They're trying to siege a building right now, and they're being extremely aggressive on their way in, but they get locked out!

03:02:50 Kimchi wird den ersten Knochen durchgeführt. Das macht es ein bisschen mehr Interessant. Und jetzt kann man die Zeit zu holen. Aber Kimchi wird den Knochen durchgeführt, aber es gibt den Knochen in den Knochen. Und das wird Oblivion sein. Obliteratet werden, als Complexity wird das erste Knochen geben. Und du sagst 20 Punkte ist viel. Das ist die perfekte Weise zu gehen. Kimchi ist wie ein Pesky-Fly.

03:03:11 ...dabs his way in before the screen is closed and allows Complexity to get the kills and get the building that they were desiring, and yeah, they need a big kill game if they're gonna find themselves, so that is a good start and sets them on the right path. Furia, you said it's a long journey, they're in Cito at the moment as they make their way through. They are being shadowed by a couple of teams though, so they just need to be careful in this Trident that they're not too slow, because you are gonna be an easy target.

03:03:37 Well, they do manage to get the UAV scan, which is going to give them an idea of where players are. And they also, more importantly, have a trident to play with that they've picked up outside of Cenote. So they're going to be able to maybe cover a little bit more ground quicker.

03:03:51 4 points from 5 games is about as unmoist

03:04:20 It's dry, Dan, as you can imagine. Yeah, sadly. Lack of moisture all around, and even if they were to find a victory here. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it's true. Maybe they're too moist right now. They need to start to dry up a little bit. But I will say that, you know, even if they were to find a victory here, they're not even going to jump into the top ten. Like, that's how far they are behind. For Disguised, at least, a win would put them into that top ten, and, you know, they managed to save it.

03:04:45 Sie haben sich in die Position gelegt, dass sie sich in die Position gelegt haben. Sie haben sich in die Position gelegt, um 25 Punkte zu bekommen. Es ist eine Sad-Reality, dass es ein Matchday wird, die sie vergessen haben.

03:05:06 We're back to the teams who are playing inside of Zone at the moment. Eternal is going to be one of them. They're just across from their neighbors, which is going to be a native game we saw a little bit previously. And I mentioned how that building can be so difficult to hold for native because you have so many lines of sight. And the difficulty for me as well is not only the windows that you can't kind of barricade with a catalyst, but also...

03:05:27 If somebody gets damaged down, there's so many points of entry, the doors, the windows, and also the staircases, that it's so easy for one player just to get undetected swinging and clean up one of those kills. It's a very siegeable building. I don't know if siegeable is a word, but it is now. You have that power, and I will believe you and trust you. We're all siegeable. I think it is a word, but I don't know. I'm not usually the right person to go to with that kind of stuff. I do think, though, that native gaming... Excellent. I did say, like...

03:05:55 Maneuvering or something earlier, which did get me chuckling. By the way, native game though, you say it's a hard building to hold, right? If the zone does pull north, sure, people might try and take it off them, but you expect that to happen. And as long as you are prepared for the push to come, I think those buildings are hard when the push is maybe unexpected. Never mind, I'll shut up. It is going to pull south. It doesn't even matter at this point. Instead, we're going to go back down to the likes of Complexity, Vanity and NGNL.

03:06:22 I'm happy to say, everybody, for the first time today, I believe this is going to be a Cascade Falls Zone, and I feel pretty confident in that, having just seen where the zone is going to be going. Is that fair? I think it's about as 100% as I can be at this point in the game. It has been a struggle to call some of these zones today, and it's not just us. I think it's evident with some of the positions from teams that they haven't really known what's going to be going down either. There has been a few struggles.

03:06:50 I mean, half the lobby's got this bang on, but there's a few who moved early, the likes of Native, for example, who really haven't, and they're going to be punished for it now.

03:07:00 Ich glaube, es ist noch nicht so, dass es noch nicht so, dass es etwas von der Varnage ist. Aber ich glaube, viele Teams denken über die gleichen Linien. LG ist eine große Herausforderung für sie gegen C9. C9 hat eine sehr schlechte LUT heute. Ich glaube, Norty hat ein paar connection issues mit dem Lobby. Das macht es noch mehr schwierig, aber LG ist noch zu spielen, um das Fuse-Altere zu nutzen. Aber es gibt keine Öffentlichkeit für sie. So C9 vs LG ist nicht das erste Mal gesehen und C9 hat gesagt, ich will nichts in diesem Fall. Und LG wird sie weg.

03:07:28 Ich denke, es gibt ein paar Teams, die ein bisschen nervös sind, um diese Kampf zu nehmen. Liquid Alienware sind jetzt nur zwei. Kann sie helfen und vielleicht werden Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann-Yann

03:07:54 Even though they're not in the next circle, they are in one of those vantage spots where you can pick up a lot of KP if you see those teams just running down below you trying to get into the next zone. Eleventh, excuse me, at the moment for Liquid Alienware. That'll teach me for taking the mick out of you saying something wrong. I should have known better. Eleventh at the moment, and they are a team who can jump up those leaderboards of how tight it is outside of those top two, so a good game for them.

03:08:20 Und das Reset ist einfach so wichtig für sie zu beantworten, um sie zu einem guten Spiel zu können.

03:08:26 Und dann kann ich auf, für sicher. LG, haltet auf den Momenten. Es fühlt sich nicht so gut für LG. Es ist einfach nur gut genug. Und ich denke, SWEET hat sich die Applaus für seine Solo-Plane. Das ist warum LG sind in der Position, dass sie sich in den Moment finden. Und die Team, dass sie ein paar Teams in den Moment sind, ist TSM. Liquidate und Umura haben wir nachher nachher, das macht es ein bisschen mehr Interessant und ein bisschen mehr Interessant. Aber TSM...

03:08:53 Their choices in this game are going to be very, very interesting. Looks like they don't want to take this fight for now. Instead, they're going to rotate away and look for more Evo. I think for both TSM and Furia, it'll be watching the killfeed and do we see one of them go down? Let's play this one safe. Let's play it a little bit cautious. TSM, they're outside of the zone right now, so they don't really have the ability to just hunker down and wait. They have to be a little bit proactive.

03:09:18 But it does look like on our map feed, TSM are going to be pathing in a way to get extra Evo Harvesters and get maybe more information from Ring consoles. As for Furia, a slightly better position. And maybe they are... God, this is terrifying, by the way. Imagine coming out of this portal. The Trident has become sentient. We've seen that on the side.

03:09:39 Ich denke, dass er alles macht. Er ist nicht so happy. Er ist nicht so happy. Er ist so cool. Er ist so cool. Er ist so cool. Er ist so cool. Er ist so cool. Er ist so cool. Er ist so cool.

Taktische Manöver, Teamkämpfe und strategische Entscheidungen im späteren Spielverlauf

03:09:54

03:09:54 So both TSM, if you're in, okay for now. We'll check in with them a little bit later. Flatt, who are in ninth position and still in a real possibility to push themselves into potentially the top five, if they were to find a good game here. At the moment they are going to hold out Empire, and they can potentially get involved in both Native and Eternals game. But it's potentially not Moisten Stallions as well, if you look at the map and where Flatt currently reside.

03:10:19 But this is going to be a tricky situation for everyone who's outside of this zone at the moment. There's going to be a lot of watching eyes as there is some action happening and it's not Moisture under fire. Oh, Not Moisture in a horrible spot again. There's two teams who have angles on them and this is just synonymous with how their day has gone really, right? Guild is down this time. They're trying to reset. They have some smokes, but it's going to be up to Walty to try and hold this team off and try and stop the push coming in so they can stick this red. And instead...

03:10:46 Er hat 55 HP und er hat 5 Sekunden, bis er nicht Moist ist, mit einem Day zu vergessen. Und ich glaube, es gibt wirklich nichts mehr zu sagen. Es ist FURIO jetzt zu versuchen, ein Kampf mit DSG zu erreichen. Das könnte ein großer Kampf. Es könnte ein Kampf sein, was in diesem Match 6 und in diesem Match Day passiert. In generell, großartig von der Mannschaft. Der Disguide hat nichts in der Tank, großartig. Es war ein Day zu vergessen.

03:11:14 Aber Disguise kann trotzdem die Geschichte ändern, aber es ist gegen FURIA, die wir wissen, dass wir sicher sind. Zeinfeld hat sich so gut gemacht. Sie sehen, er hat sich zu überlegen, er hat sich zu überlegen, er hat sich zu sehen, aber in der meantime, Timmy hat sich in die Position zu halten. Zeinfeld findet sich ein Corner, um die Batterie zu halten. Was kann er von hier machen? Und jetzt ist es all auf zu Timmy, er hat 171. Es ist ein Great Spray, aber FURIA, der Death Ball ist zurück!

03:11:41 Und DSG's bad day will go from bad to worse. Furia pick up KP. Furia will clean them out. And Furia look like they're on a mission.

03:11:50 Ja, FURIA looked like, they have a plan, and that plan is kill everything in sight, as Madness also lets them know. I think that was a bit of built-up, pent-up frustration, really. They knew who was below them, because you see the Wraith portal, so it's evident. And they said, you know what, screw it. Let's actually get involved in this fight and take out this team so we don't have to worry about them later. And now FURIA actually owned the western side.

03:12:12 und eine reale Möglichkeit zu kommen. Bad News für TSM-Fans.

03:12:41 Und das sollte genug sein, sicher. Aber es sieht aus, dass die Zone wirklich tickt. Und es ist mehr ein Tickle an diesem Punkt. Es wird ein Scratch.

03:12:50 Well, Big Louie, he's trying to stay alive right now, find a place to hit that battery. Unfortunately, they lost one player during that teamfight that he still managed to win. And now Liquid Alienware popping the dogs, trying to find those kills to convert into their own points here. As Jaguars has to take a second to hit a battery again. Yanya is trying to hold this high ground on the top of the waterfall to make sure that he's in a position, if anyone overextends in this teamfight, that he can clean up some of these KP. In the meantime, Stallions, they're trying to rotate, but they're stuck in a horrible spot as well. But the Dark Fail might have just saved them.

03:13:18 ETERNAL, im watching every step of the way from Stallion, saying, look, we have got eyes on you, and if you step one step too far, or maybe past that Dark Veil, we will clip you and we'll send you home. But FURIA might be able to take advantage of this. Actually, they've heard all this commotion, and now they're pushing up onto Stallions. FURIA want more kills, and why wouldn't you? Their teamfighter has been so...

03:13:38 so good today and even blind firing through the smoke vaxxalon is doing damage native gaming eliminated in the meantime they'll be taken out by complexity so their day will finish after a good game number five game number six does not follow the same pan but here come aec as well they want a piece of this and fury gonna have to work hard for it liquid alienware eternal furia and stallions are all in the same area there is a lot of kp available for one of these teams eternal we'll be able to pick up one can they finish off though those knockdown shields being such a

03:14:07 Und es ist Furia, die alle auf den Moment auf den Overextender von Liquid Alienware. Das heißt, dass nicht nur die Ressetung und die Spacke sind, sondern später in diesem Spiel, sie werden nur mit der Duos. Vaxelon wird die Schildswap mit 1 HP gewonnen, also. So Furia weiterentwickelt in diesem Spiel.

03:14:34 With all these kills, FURIA have extended their lead at the top by 9. TSM are still alive, though. They are in the southern side of the circle, and they have found a building, but that building is being shared by two other teams, potentially three, as Liquid Alienware also dart into the zone. But it's where FURIA go from here. Are they going to be held out on the northern side? Edges and Skid both looking at them. Let's see how LG do, though, on their move from the eastern side. Let's go to a list of them.

03:15:00 Ja, drei Teams. Ich denke wir können.

03:15:29 We might need to end bottom floor of the two-story though

03:15:48 E-back happening, they're taking root backside big building. I'm 4-2, I'm 4-2, boys. Okay, uh, 6-1, or 1-6. Oh, there's Fuse, I'll find in the roof. I have 6-1 back. Oh yeah, 6-1. Wait, can you knuckle cluster the doors over here? Hold on, hold on.

Spannungsgeladene Endphase: Strategische Positionierung, riskante Manöver und überraschende Wendungen

03:16:09

03:16:09 We have kills here on the left. No ult. It's fine. No. Okay. Look where I'm at right now. You're full in on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can cross that rock. We're kind of like rat there for a second, okay? And we can look for kills on the left. We need to not let that two-story team play the roof, okay? We might play the roof here in a little bit. Yeah, no, that's the play. That is the one for the play. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We play from here. We group. We fucking jam on them here. They have that door perk. And then we play the roof. No one can even shoot us now. We can go now.

03:16:33 As we lose the listening, LG, they are losing nothing right now. They make their plan. They want to try and take the roof of the Complexity Building late, but they're in a great spot here up on the high ground. Although meanwhile, Furia were eliminated and suddenly first place does potentially open up for TSM. Four points behind Furia now, but they have to try and get within this circle. Vanity are holding them out. NG and L have a solo rat that could really change things.

03:16:56 und Tempo in diesem Bereich. TSM either need 4-5 kills, oder sie müssen irgendwie stay alive als 3-3 hier und gehen in dieser nächsten Zone.

03:17:04 Rebs hat eine Kraber und Rebs hat eine Chance, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz, ein Schatz.

03:17:28 Ah, TSM's chance is slowly fading away here as one falls, but there are still two alive, and they can still do some damage here, Zap and Verholz. Just need to make sure they get Zap back up to full health so they can at least fight as a two. Job one is done, though. They got into the zone. Sadly, though, they have lost a member. By the way, Complexity still alive. Third place at the moment. There is still a chance they could push themselves into top two, and an outside chance of still winning the entire thing if they get the remainder of these kills and win.

03:17:56 Und jetzt ist es die Chance auch für Complexity zu answeren, die Fragen wir uns stellen, ob sie zu können? Kann sie die Top 5s, Top 6s, Top 7s in die Wins werden? Das ist etwas sie haben, aber mit dem Gebäude sie sind, sie werden für den langen. Sie werden nicht mehr Möglichkeiten für Complexity bekommen. Und jetzt ist es zu 6. Tempo wird in der meantime, als Kim Chi... Oh, er hat eine Free-Fiering-Range in fronte.

03:18:20 TSM haben jetzt noch einen Kill und eine Placement Point bekommen, so sie sind zu 67. Und Sie sehen, Zap in der Killfeed ist, er macht mehr Jobs. Und er wird TSM einen Schritt weiter zu bekommen, um vielleicht zu kommen, um die Punkte zu holen. Aber Complexity ist noch eine bessere Position. Aber es ist Zap und Verhulst, als ein Duo, zwei Punkte hinter Furia und eine Chance zu gewinnen, die ganze Zeit hier. Die Frage ist, was sie machen? Wo sie spielen? Weil LG wird sie sehen. Sie spielen für die Smokes.

03:18:49 Verhoß hat die Abilität in den Smokest zu bekommen, so die Smokest werden sogar noch mehr benötig für sie. Aber sie müssen einfach nur mit einem Grunde genommen werden.

03:18:59 Sie haben einen Punkt hinter Furia. Sie brauchen eine Placement Point. Oder vielleicht KP. Sie finden die KP. Sie sind mit Furia. Aber sie sind noch nicht da. Noch ein Punkt.

03:19:28 Zykes get sent to Narnia, Vanity eliminated and TSM take 1st place!

03:19:33 We've seen LG do crazy things as a solo and they might be able to get up to a full three. As you mentioned, Sweet is getting rezzed and LG back on their feet and now with the opportunity with the position they find themselves in to maybe win this game.

03:20:03 Skynade könnte hier sein, wenn es perfekt ist. Es könnte Komplexity zurückkommen. Komplexity hat es zu verlassen, die Rolling Thunder zu kommen. TSM eliminiert es. Komplexity wird die gewinne. Das ist das, was sie wollten. Komplexity wird sein. Komplexity wird die Champions des Finals. Aber TSM... ... das Name ist synonymisch mit gewinnen. Und sie sind nicht machen, als sie sehen, wie sie haben 1st Platz genommen.

03:20:31 TSM will take 1st place, Complexity secure, top 3, and actually we're only 1 point off of taking 2nd place from Furia as well. I said it would be difficult for them to get up into the top 1 position, right? Because they'd have to have a big game, a big win, and see Furia and TSM fall early. Sadly, neither TSM or Furia fell early enough for Complexity, but they still put themselves at the top of the leaderboard. A top 3 position and a win on the board is going to give them the world of confidence. But for TSM, as a duo needing...

03:21:00 four, five points at the end, being able to hold off several teams and getting those extra placement points, they're going to be delighted. A monumental effort in that final moment from TSM. We said at the start of that game that we're going to have to work for it and we'll bring Reinde back in because work for it.

03:21:16 They did. And what a confidence boost that is, Rain, for TSM and their fanbase to show that they can still do it when it matters. An amazing effort from them. Rain Day, are you with us, my friend? I am. And, you know, the clutch element of it, too, the moment there, it was big. It was a moment they had to seize something. And I talked about being incisive. And what was indicative of the old TSM for me and Matchpoint teams that could win was these moments and doing it, right? Really not being passive and making a decision that was a little rich.

TSM's Triumph: Strategische Entscheidungen, Teamchemie und die Bedeutung von Führung

03:21:45

03:21:45 Und ich denke, das ist was ich hier gesehen. Ich sah TSM entscheiden, mit zwei, wir werden in die Zone getrennt, wenn sie einen verloren haben. Sie werden das Spiel. Sie werden das Spiel. Sie werden das Spiel. Sie werden für K.P. Und sie haben, glaube ich, 7 Punkte, oder vielleicht 8 Punkte, aus dem Push mit nur zwei Spielern zu bekommen. Wir haben sie nicht in front of uns noch.

03:22:07 But it was one of those moments that just, I think this is catharsis for TSM. I feel like this is like a weight off their shoulders. I think for the fan base as well, this is looking ahead to the future and seeing possibility, seeing hope. Because man, this is a look at TSM that really is really the only way we think of TSM, which is winning. And that's familiar. And that's...

03:22:27 Das war das erste Mal, was ich sie an. Ich fühlte mich, dass sie nicht zu haben.

03:22:57 Ja, ich denke, es wird ein frustrierender zu sehen, dass es für FURIA ist, aber es ist ein bisschen zu sehen, dass es für FURIA ist. Es ist ein bisschen zu sehen, aber es ist ein bisschen zu sehen, dass es für FURIA ist.

03:23:26 Es ist die Org, die den gleichen Org, der auch in den gleichen Sprengang. Es war ein Delight to watch, ein Delight to beinvolved mit. Und dann gibt es noch andere Teams, die nicht ganz gut getrennt heute. Oblivion, ich hatte eine hohe expectationen, nach der Performance, nicht nur in Scrims, aber auch in der ersten Matchweek. Sie waren nicht wirklich able, die gleiche Form zu finden. Disguise nicht getrennt, Moist nicht getrennt, und sie waren die Bottom 3 in der Match 6. Es ist zurück zu den Drawing Board, für alle drei die Teams.

03:23:52 Das ist so strange, Bottom 3, Marc. Obviamente, wir wollen nicht zu kritisch sein, dass alle noch nicht zufrieden sind. Aber du wirst, dass Teams dieser Kaliber, die wir in der gleiche Reihe haben, in der gleiche Reihe, die wir in der gleiche Reihe haben, nicht so gut. Aber es passiert zu allen. Und an dieser Stelle, viele dieser Teams sind auf beide Seiten der Geschichte. Aber look at das, TSM-Over1, Marc, Ihre Reaktion hier. Und sie haben endlich genug gemacht. Sie nehmen Nummer 3, als die Winters.

03:24:21 Das war die TSM und Reps und Verhulst in den letzten Monat oder so. Mit dem großen Verhulst kam, mit Hauw zu gehen. Die Frage ist immer, ob das TSM wird. Aber es ist etwas über die Chemistrie. Wer ist auf der Linie, der die Banner represents.

03:24:37 Wenn die Pressure ist am meisten, für einen Fall, sie performen best. Und wenn die Talks starten, wenn die Doubt starten, das ist dann TSM-Historisch haben. Und das ist nur eine Woche von Fro-League. Das ist eine neue Röster, die wahrscheinlich die beste Spieler in Apex-History haben. Also, zu kommen und antworten die Kritik, sagen wir, dass wir, dass wir, dass wir, dass wir Talen haben, und wir noch immer noch wissen, dass wir, wie wir noch gewinnen haben, und wir noch immer noch wissen, wie wir noch gewinnen haben. Ich denke, es hat uns sehr gut für den Rest des Spiels.

03:25:07 I just don't think it could have come at a better time for them as well. And yes, there is a way where you do this in the opening weekend and you make even bigger of a statement against Falcons. But let's just leave that where it is. And I think it actually worked out so perfectly that they were able to have this match day and do it to kind of end that first round robin of these groups with Falcons on the sidelines, watching it, letting it kind of really be all about this new roster and showcasing how dangerous they can be when let off that leash. They certainly made an impact today.

03:25:37 Let's walk through our final circles for those maybe just catching the tail end of the broadcast. Overall, just to recap here, it was Game 4 that would kick us off in Storm Point. Mark, we would watch that one and this would be another one where we felt TSM would have everything going for them. It wouldn't turn out that way because of a tough climb. But again, this was just another circle that they played so well in. Yeah, I think the consistency for TSM today is absolutely exceptional. You look at their placements and getting towards the endgame is...

03:26:06 Step 1 ist, dass man eine APEX-Legends-Team ist, dass man die Traffik ist. Es ist, dass man einen Platz zu spielen ist, um einen Platz zu leben, um zu leben, um zu leben, um zu leben, um zu leben, um zu leben, um sich in die Position zu kämpfen, um sich der Champion zu kämpfen. Wenn man das tun kann, ist, dass man sich in einen wirklich guten Platz hat. Und sie haben sich in den letzten Momenten gewonnen, aber es war Emply, die nur ein bisschen mehr von einem Abstand zu bleiben, um zu bleiben, um zu bleiben. Und sie haben sich in den Momenten gewonnen. Und sie haben sich in den Momenten gewonnen.

03:26:33 Walk us through Game 5 as well, Dan, because then that would keep things off. And you would look at Fioria really having some strong moments here, but Native Gaming also here in this position.

03:26:41 Ja, das war der Early Exit für TSM, das war, die sich die Tür öffnen, um jemanden zu spielen. Und es war FURIA, die gesagt, wir müssen nicht gewinnen in der Position, aber wir wissen voll, dass diese Team hat ihren Backen gegen den Wallen. Wir können den Kampf haben, weil wir die drei Punkte bekommen haben. Wir haben bereits genug in diesem Spiel, das wird uns wahrscheinlich gewinnen, auf die Punkte gewonnen haben. Und es war NGNL, die gewonnen haben, die Sie in Jurassic Park gewonnen haben. So, sie waren die meisten, aber Sie müssen auch auf die Hände. Wenn es zu Ihrer POI geht, Sie haben es getan, und sie sind sicher.

03:27:11 100%. Es ist wie in den Free-Throws, wenn du ein NBA-Fan bist. Du musst wissen, dass du dein Percentage bist. Du hast nicht gewonnen, von den Möglichkeiten gegeben. Du hast die Foul-Shots gewonnen. Und hier, hier, ist das TSM. Ich will einfach mal über das, was du gesehen hast. Aber sie waren in der Top 4. Sie hatten 7 Kills overall. Verholz, mit 5 von dem hier in dieser Position, war so gut. Sie bleiben so gut und bleiben. Ich denke, sie haben das 1.

03:27:40 Was the big difference. Look at this. I didn't realize they 2v3'd that. I mean Cloudline just got to a letter. What? And one thing that I loved about the decision making from TSN and this endgame was how decisive it was. You saw the moment of, okay, we played for kills. We played for kills in this position. And from there, they swung into the bottom of that building. They were aggressive. They weren't worried about losing their lives as long as someone else came with them. Basically in the final moments though, it was a big moment for them as well. Because we were saying...

03:28:08 They aren't closing games out. They get into top fights, but they aren't getting the wins. Well, they got the win in that final game. And if you look at the regular season standings, this is how things look right. Big movers, TSM, 14 positions after day one and then now into day three. That is going to feel nice for them at the end of this evening.

03:28:28 And this round robin series of match days. Fury as well move up 10. LG right behind them moving up 7. SKD Mark moving up 8. Flat just making it into the top 10. Bottom 10 of course. We got some negative slides and this will happen as it is. Complexity make a big jump up but in the same vein we see Tripods, Weave, CCE, Vanity, Oblivion as well.

03:28:51 They go well, well down. NGNL Esports outside of the 30th position into 20, which secures them a chance. If they hold that, obviously into being able to play in our regional finals, which could give them a chance to make land. Big one though, big slide disguised. Four points elevate as well. Obviously a new roster, but Dan, man, that's just surprising on all fronts for that org. Yes, it is, but at the same time, it...

03:29:19 Showing the strength of this region, right? It's not easy to just walk your way into a top 10, to walk your way into victories. And as everyone else is building, growing, changing their rosters, trying to be the best version of themselves, it's very easy to sometimes fall behind if you are not putting in the work or if you are struggling a little bit with chemistry. And I don't think they're disguised out of it by any means. I wouldn't be surprised if they come back completely battling in the next time we see them. But you have to recognize that this is a region where...

03:29:48 There is too much strength and there are too many teams trying to compete for the same positions at LAN.

03:29:54 Und, you know, now it's starting to get scary as well. But you still have got two more rotations of this. Every team, every group has played each other once. We're going to do that again. And then we're going to do that again. And that's going to lead us to the regional finals. So still essentially six more match days that they have to experiment before we find our top 20. And those top 20 compete for a chance at our land spots in the split two playoffs. So a lot to do. And now not so much time. But there is still hope. One player who definitely.

03:30:23 ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

03:30:39 Das ist wichtig, dass er nicht nur in Apex Legends ist, sondern in all E-Sports sollte haben. Und von raw skill, dieser Spieler ist immer in der Top-Conversation. Das 1v2 mit Reps ist das 1v2. Aber was wichtiger ist, dass er in dieser Rolle ist. Und er wird immer wieder zu stecken, wieder und wieder zu stecken.

03:31:08 The TSM you saw today

03:31:38 The myth, the legend himself. It is Evan Verhulz joining us for the interview. Evan, congratulations on the win. Thank you. Thank you. It's hard, hard win. No. The boys, boys had a lot of work to do since last pro league day and we figured a lot of things out and it feels, feels really good. Made a lot of progress over the last, over the last week.

03:31:59 Well, what did you do specifically? Walk us through that progress. What changed and, you know, what were the conversations that we weren't privy to this week that you guys had to have in order to get the result today?

03:32:10 I think the biggest thing was, it was just a matter of the three of us learning how to IGL. So we didn't know who was going to IGL at first. At first I tried it, then Rebs tried it, and now Zap is the one IGLing. So all three of us basically had to learn all the macro from the bottom up, since we both come from teams that have had pretty good IGLs. We had Hal, Zap, Zach Mazur, and they both basically took care of all the macro. And so all three of us had to learn how to, basically all three had to learn macro together.

03:32:39 Und wir haben alle den gleichen Zeit, so wir haben alle die gleiche Idee, wie Macro funktioniert. Es macht uns einen wirklich guten Synergy, ich denke. Weil wir alle haben, wie ein Team, alle an den gleichen Zeit. Und ich denke, das ist die größte Sache. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gelernt. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Aber wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Aber wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht. Wir haben einfach nur einen Macro gemacht.

03:33:08 Aber jetzt unsere Teamfighter ist wirklich gut und unsere Macro ist wirklich gut. Und jetzt wir versuchen, wir versuchen, was wir bereits haben.

03:33:15 I want to say today, it seemed like you consistently put yourself in really good spots on the map, and you can see that that hard work is starting to pay off a little bit, right? But I want to talk to you a little bit about, you know, what a week it's been for you, because everybody's seen, there's been some, shall we say, some hot topics of discussion between you and other people and back and forth, and, you know, the truth is usually somewhere in between the two, I always say, right, when you have those kind of two-sided things. You're usually a very reserved person.

03:33:42 When it comes to Apex, you let your gameplay do the talking. How has the week been for you with all of that kind of playing out in the background? Has that been noise to you that's been a distraction or is that lit a bit of a fire underneath you?

03:33:54 Ich denke, es ist alles ein bisschen ein Feuer hinter mir. Es ist ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, ein vieles, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was,

03:34:23 Und es ist einfach ein Worte der Zeit zu denken über was geht, und einfach nur auf den Spiel jetzt. Also, dein Gameplay war die Speaking heute. In der finalen Spiel, als ein Duo, ich watch etwas, das man sehr rarely sieht. Teams getrennt 2v3 in einem sehr emphatischen Fassion. Was ist durch deine Meinung, wenn du ein 2 in die finalen Moments bist? Are du denkst, dass wir einfach zu leben, oder wir haben zu kämpfen, oder ist es einfach nur auf die Fläche zusammenarbeiten?

03:34:52 Ich meine, da, wir verstehen, dass wir die West-Side haben, weil wir nicht auf der Seite gehen können, weil es bereits ein Team gibt, und wir werden in der Open sein können. Und wir haben uns gedacht, dass wir so viele Teams fighten auf der Seite sind, oder wir werden es gehen, und wir wissen, dass wir es auch ein Duo haben. Und wir wissen, dass wir als Duo haben, dass wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben, wenn wir so viel haben.

03:35:17 Ich denke, sie wurden in den Räumen gezwungen. Ich denke, sie wurden in den Räumen gezwungen. Ich weiß, sie wurden in den Räumen gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen. Ich habe das Leben gezwungen, aber ich habe das Leben gezwungen.

03:35:47 Ich glaube, das war eine große Identität. Es war eine große Identität. Ich fühle mich, das war eine große Identität, zu sehen, und HAL, nicht zusammen. Es hat sich so eine ICONIC-RUN gemacht. Ich habe mich gefragt, von mir, ich möchte wissen, von jetzt, habe ich eine, ich glaube, future, und nicht hindsight, aber future, like, understanding of, was könnte next?

03:36:13 Not just to prove people wrong or be thinking, that team's done, it's over, there's a new journey. Have you seen kind of like a flip side? What's this potential that's available for this new Verhulz? What can you step into that maybe you weren't able to step into before? What has it meant to you? I just want to kind of close on that and give you a chance to reflect on maybe what the future holds in store for you as a player.

03:36:38 I feel like now on this team, I have a lot more control over the team than I ever used to have. I feel like what I say and what I do matters a lot more than before. I feel like, I almost feel like on this team, everyone's a bit more equal, so everyone trusts each other more equally. And I feel like that allows me to basically just do more, kind of like take initiative on a lot of things that I couldn't do beforehand. And, you know, our team, I think our team definitely has the potential to win EWC and win Split 2 here coming up.

03:37:07 Ich weiß, dass wir in den Pro-League haben. Falcons ist eine große Leidenschaft für uns jetzt. Falcons ist gut gerade jetzt. Sie sind hart zu beat. Aber ich denke, wir haben von Falcons gewonnen. Wir haben was sie machen, was sie tun und versuchen, was sie tun, was sie tun und warum sie tun und versuchen, was sie tun und wie sie tun. Und ich denke, alle drei von uns haben, wir haben viel gelernt. So SSG, SSG, ich denke, SSG ist vielleicht ein bisschen ahead von uns. Sie sind Mechanics freaks. Sie sind alle in so einem guten Kampf, aber ich denke, wir haben ihn in der Macro-Departement.

03:37:34 Und ich bin wirklich glücklich für unsere Team. Ich denke, unsere Team hat so viel Potenzial. Ich meine, wir haben jetzt drei Wochen gespielt. Es ist schon drei Wochen? Es ist drei Wochen. Und wir haben uns in der IGL gespielt. Wir haben das letzte Mal gesehen. Das ist ein paar Jahre zu tun. Da sind viele Spieler, die ich habe, haben sich nicht gegeben, die IGL-Responsibilität haben, und ich habe nicht zu tun, dass es nichts mit ihnen ist. Losing your IGL sucks. Es ist hart. Und Zapp ist der Mann. Ich meine, er hat sich auf den IGL-Roll für TSM gefilmt. Das ist nicht einfach zu tun. Und er hat sich nicht zu tun. Und er hat sich nicht zu tun.

03:38:03 Und Reps hat das auch gemacht. Ich bin ein absoluter Geist. His Ability Usage war so gut. Das erste Spiel we won, er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach. Er war einfach.

03:38:28 I didn't know if that was you throwing shade at Jordan there a little bit. Either way, it works out. I know what you're getting at. Don't worry, I'm not throwing you under the bus here. I just wanted to kind of give you an opportunity here because you and reps, obviously, history is on your side when it comes to winning, right? You've won a lot of tournaments. You've had a lot of success. But I said during the cast today that I think the hardest pair of shoes to fill and probably the most unenviable job in the world is to try and fill the shoes of Hal, right?

03:38:56 So I wanted to give you an opportunity to say what Zap brings to your team as a player, as a personality, and really give him an opportunity to just have a little bit of a spotlight here and show that he's come in and he's doing an incredible job considering the shadow that is kind of looming over of everybody expecting him to be able to do what Hal did. Yeah.

03:39:16 Ja, ich denke, Zap understands, he understands how much pressure is on him to do well. I mean, he knows, he knows how good Hal was. He knows how big TSM is, like, our legacy and how good we've been. And he understands that fully. Like, he knows that he has a lot of work to do. And he's been doing all that work. I mean, he's been putting in so much work. He's been honestly, like, he's inspired me and Jordan to get better at teamfighting a lot. I know that for sure. I mean, Zap is just, like, one of the best teamfighters in the game. I mean, that dude, like, the amount of, like, random kills he'll get through, like, doorways and just, like, this...

03:39:44 Ich glaube, es ist wirklich gut. Ich meine, der Recoil ist, dass er nicht so gut ist. Er ist einfach ein Aimbot, wenn es zu Recoil und Hemlock in der Havoc geht. Und, ja, er ist einfach ein Beast. Er versteht die Verantwortung, die er jetzt hat. Und er ist jetzt wirklich gut. Er ist wirklich gut. Er ist wirklich gut. Er ist wirklich gut. Er ist wirklich gut.

03:40:11 He keeps the team on the same page. He always calms what he's thinking. And he's just been honestly kind of a natural at IGL so far. He's been a beast.

03:40:20 Well, you know, Evan, thank you so much for the introspection as well and the just awareness of what's been going on behind the scenes. It's been a great ride that you guys have taken the fans of the ALGS on throughout these last few weeks, dare I say this last month. But I'm so happy to see you guys thriving and having success here on this Sunday to close out our first round, Robin. We wish you continued success as well and good luck. You know, the first team of three IGLs, you know, I love to see it.

03:40:49 We'll have to run that tape back, okay? But no, I got to give a lot of love to all you guys. Hey, thanks, man. And I appreciate you joining us and congratulations on the win again. Thank you so much, guys. Appreciate it.

03:41:08 All right, Verhulst, MVP, TSM Win the Day reps there alongside as well. And Zapto, you know, finally maybe having that moment, right, that we were expecting. We wanted and waited to see how it would turn out. Well, what a debut in terms of the first few match days that we've had. Mark, a great interview from Verhulst and closing out the day. Final thoughts on it. It was really, really, you know, one of the more fun, I think, match days we've had in a while.

03:41:34 Yeah, I think we've been pretty blessed today with the interviews, right? We had an amazing one with Nasky a little bit earlier in EMEA. We've got a little peek behind the scenes after, I think what would have been a very turbulent couple of, a week or so for Verholtz personally with everything that's gone on behind the scenes and away from the game. But the takeaway is when all of this kind of settles and, you know, what's the outcome is TSM are back, like TSM are back and they're getting better and better and they've just won.

03:42:02 Even though TSM changes, TSM keep winning. And I think that's going to be something that's going to be very difficult to change moving forward. All right, Dan. I mean, to me, this was a day filled with a lot of fun, a lot of laughter, and obviously a big win for TSM. What's your big takeaway?

03:42:17 I didn't know if you were going to ask yourself a question at that point. That's kind of what I've expected as the show's gone on. I can't go there. I can't go there. It's been an amazing day. Almost, I think the last time I casted Online Pro League, TSM were winning and I come back and TSM are winning again. Nothing seems to change despite the fact that the rosters change. Can't wait for it all to happen next weekend as well. North America and Amir both putting on an incredible show. As always, I appreciate the players so much for the hard work, the dedication they put into this game because...

03:42:45 We are blessed to be able to watch these incredible people on the show for us. Alright, well, Rain Day Onset and Gas can close enough the show. Thanks, guys. Have a great one. Appreciate you. It was a fun day.

03:42:58 All right, you're gonna have to watch the tape back to see that one. Some inside jokes developing on the LGS. That's what you get on the main broadcast. We have fun, and guess what? Even more fun to see us in person. So doing all this stuff live. If you missed out LA Split 2, it's coming up, those playoffs. We're playing Split 2 Match Days to get there. And next Saturday, we continue restarting and getting back into our second round of Round Robins with Match Day 4 in EMEA happening on Saturday, 1 p.m. Eastern Time, 6 p.m. BST.

03:43:27 10am.
