Apex Legends
00:00:00
00:05:49 We have Vicky and Genome back.
00:06:18 Ich bin so bereit. Genome, du bist in all die stats.
00:06:42 Ja, we're just about to tick over to 8 a.m. I'm definitely hitting up the energy drinks to keep the energy high here because, yeah, it's always fun. But, you know, if I have to get up at 1 a.m. to cast some Apex, then that's what I'm going to do.
Team Updates und heutige Favoriten
00:07:05
00:07:05 He's locked. Honestly, we need to get him a bracelet, like a heart rate monitor so we can track it during some of the endgame hype calls that we get. But before we dive into the action today, let's go ahead and cover some of the changes that we witnessed throughout the week. Oblivion now coming through as the team name Movistar Koi picking them up. Locked in becomes Team Orchid, which is a beautiful name in my opinion. Stallions locked under the Twisted Minds roster ahead of LAN and VDR being picked up by...
00:07:34 So, with that being said, if you see some names that are looking different, just keep tabs on it. Our participants for today, Groups B versus C. Now, Vicky, one team in the lobby you think that has the right to pop off tonight. Who do you think is going to do it?
00:07:49 I mean, Shopify Rebellion, Koifo, watching Scrims, you know, I take Scrim books, you know, just with a grain of salt, but looking at how Shopify Rebellion with Koifo specifically, I think they could have their breakout moment and RG Fioria being the top of those Scrim Lobby that I was able to watch. Definitely those three squads that I have on my mind. And of course, 100 Thieves. I mean, look at the individuals that make up this quote-unquote new super team out here that we get to see if they could do it again.
00:08:15 Oh, okay. And Genome, anyone you think is flying under the radar today for B versus C? Yeah, I think LG probably haven't got as much attention as maybe they deserved after picking up a fourth last week. And, you know, Shubi, Source, and Naughty, they're players that have had...
00:08:34 Solid performances in the past, but never really found that opportunity to shine brighter than everyone else. And maybe the new meta, the Legend Band system, is actually playing to their strengths and this is their time. Well, I think those are solid picks out of both of you. All I know is there's a lot of pressure, a lot of talent in our lobby tonight. And I'm really nervous considering it is the last match day ahead of NOLA. But we do have some storylines we'd love to dive into. So I'm going to kick it back.
00:09:01 to you genome because i know you've been honing in on a few specific teams yeah uh of course we've got to talk about a hundred thieves um they've been doing fantastically so far finished off with a second in their first outing here in pro league it's an interesting roster put together
00:09:22 mit drei LAN-Winners. Jem Burton war auch immer als ein sehr flexibel Spieler, so er war einer der ersten Leute, die ich gedacht habe, als wir die introductionen von Legend Bands gesehen haben, zu sagen, dass es nicht egal, wie weit wir in eine Matchpoint-Serie sind, dieses Mann ist zu haben, eine Legend zu fallen auf. Und sie haben sicherlich auch das Potenzial, glaube ich, wir hatten.
00:09:50 So far. Someone else has been doing that. Virtus Pro. It was a great start to the Pro League for them. Even if, it has to be said, some angels came from up on high and delivered to them the best single zone set I think I may have ever seen out of any team in any Pro League day. They were straight up gifted.
00:10:17 But even if that happens, you still have to convert, right? And Virtus.Pro definitely did convert. You know, we saw positions like this where they had Godspot game after game, but they hit that and they absolutely juiced them picking up the KP and whatnot on their way to a very strong finish here. As you can see, that was a second for them as well. And it was a 70-point finish for VP.
00:10:49 Great to see how strong they ended out here, too, in that head-to-head. And some teams that I want to talk about, starting with Unleash, a team that people were looking at wondering, can they do it? Can they bring it up to the table? Well, coming in from the preseason qualifiers, currently in the 11th in the overall standings, they last played during match day one, showing some hot and cold games where they could show that they could pop off like they did in game two, where they literally won with eight kills.
00:11:14 But then they died first in Game 3 on the same exact map. They ramped back up on E-District, though, and were actually able to get like two 7th place finishes and like a 10th place finish with 6 KP, showcasing that they definitely got it and they could do it again. It's about finding that consistency, too, across those two different maps. Of course, we are going to have E-District once again, and it's not going to be Stormpoint anymore for today. So they will have that opportunity to ramp up a lot earlier than they did in that previous map.
00:11:43 Das war's für heute, dass wir Unleashed mit Digg, Vlorci und Legatron haben. Und natürlich, Ja, Saiko hat sie auch. So, ich weiß, dass mit viel Erfahrung, das Squad wird etwas zusammengefasst. Und natürlich, die NICE-Guys sind die zweite Team, die ich habe zu sehen. Coming in von den Preseason Qualifiers, es ist schön zu sagen, zu RKN wieder. Früher, von mir aus, von mir aus, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir, von mir.
00:12:09 So again, considering the fact
00:12:38 für heute. Wir haben viel mehr Möglichkeiten, mit Broken Moon in den letzten drei Spielern der Matchpoint-Serie. Jetzt schauen wir uns die Stats in den zwei Head-to-Heads, zwischen Nice Guys und Unleash. Aber diese zwei Quads sind, ich würde sagen, viele Leute haben sie auf dem Radar. Und sie sind sehr gut, sehr gut jetzt. Pretty über average, wenn es zu was sie können in einem Lobby wie dieser. Honestly, ich freue mich.
00:13:05 You never know, especially if you're putting in E-District and Broken Moon. We've seen a variety of things happen, not only in APAC North last night, but even in the EMEA region, especially with those niche picks coming out of the APAC side of things, and then just different bands in general. I think in scrims this week, people were even dabbling on the Gibby. Now, very few and far between. I'm curious if we'll see that come through tonight, but you never know. Anything is possible as we work through the adapting into the legend band system, but leading into...
00:13:34 I think it's time that we talk about some of those POIs and kind of where they're going overall in the draft pickups. I'll kick things off with first pick going towards Heights. You have Corinthians who were able to pick this up now.
00:13:49 I was curious why we were picking this, because in EMEA, a lot of the ones that went through were Street Market, Energy Bank, that realm of things. But Heights can lead into the Edge playstyle slightly just because of its location. However, this is if you're banking on those zones ending in North Energy Bank, which we've had about six to seven of them so far in Split 1. However, in the EMEA region today...
00:14:14 90% of the zones went towards City Hall. So you're going to be traversing a little bit more to the west side of things, but we'll keep an eye out on Corinthians and how they do. But for the next one, we have Empire grabbing Lotus. Sick.
00:14:29 Okay, plenty of loot, just really far north. Now, if you are going to be pulling towards some of those endings that did favor City Hall, great. But if we're going down to Draft Point, which the majority of ours don't go too far south of that, right? Shipyard Arcade. We don't really dabble to that realm, but you can bank off getting information from the ring consoles. It's a quick loot path. I'm okay with this going first and how that works out.
00:14:56 Ja, so Electro Dan, that's been picked up by Purple Slushie in the fourth pick. So yeah, obviously highly prioritizing this in their draft. It's towards the northeast of the map and there's some interesting things about it. One of them being that if you do want to play this as more of a fast rotation style.
00:15:24 You kind of can, even though it's on the edge of the map. There's like a gravity cannon that shoots you directly into a big balloon. And you can use that to rotate through into energy bank and actually get out towards the rest of the map, you know, fairly quickly.
00:15:42 And then talking about no-names, right, and POIs, Unleash get the 40th pick overall, and they're going to be vibing out on Vibe Isle. Now, in all honesty, in my opinion, over to the east side of Energy Bank, this is not a great spot. It has lackluster loot, usually, and sometimes they don't even get, like, an Evil Shield spawn, or rather just EVO spawns. But I have seen really good zone rotations from here. They just are going to have to be wary of the Corinthians landing over in Heights and Fury Air landing in Stadium.
00:16:12 Those three houses before rotating, before either of those teams will allow you to at least put yourself in a way better spot to even gatekeep some of these squads depending on where the zone is going to pull. Those are both stellar. And I love that we see Vibe Isle going last, whereas I believe in EMEA it was settlement. And they're right there. Both poor loot quality, but the rotations weren't too bad considering what we saw WEH and 10K do, just kind of working on the south side. Now, granted, we are at the zone.
00:16:37 We have a lot of things to break down before we drop into match number one, but we're almost done here. But I want to catch you up at home while you're kind of working through some of your Easter candy and what you might have missed over the course of the week. Now, we've seen a lot of drama.
Snipedown kehrt zurück und APAC Highlights
00:17:06
00:17:06 I've talked about it last week, and it kind of stemmed from then known as VDR. But now we have the return of Snipedown off the desk, off the content creation journey, and back into LAN action. Tweeted out, going to be playing in the ALGS Open with your boy Deeds and Vaxlon. Nothing better than playing on a team with nothing to lose. Okay. I mean, we're starting at the tippity top with that statement.
00:17:31 Ich meine, wir haben nichts zu verlieren und alles zu verlieren. Und nur, um... ...eine Proof zu haben. Es ist nicht so, dass du nicht ein Landwinner oder nichts von Historisch. Aber ich habe ein Clip von Skrims. Und ich weiß, Vicky war, dass Skrims nicht alles bedeutet. Aber manchmal, sie können dich fühlen. Und wir haben von MG früher, heute an der EMEA-Region gehört. Und confidence ist key. Ja, absolut. Ich meine, wenn du... Ihr seid, seid ihr seid, seid ihr seid.
00:18:02 I'm just better. I'm just better. Jesus Christ, good shit. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:18:16 Vicky, kann man re-re-create das? Wir haben Leute, Solo, die Staircases auf 4-D-Ping. Und mein Mann mit dem P-2020 ist, dass alle, jeden Tag, jeden Tag. Ich liebe es, wenn die Leute in meiner Linie sind, einfach nur bei einem, mit keinen split-angles oder nichts. Ich liebe das, ich liebe das hier. Aber Sie wissen, etwas anderes, Tiff, das...
00:18:38 Ich persönlich mag es nicht passieren, aber ich liebe es, weil es so ein Apex-Moment ist, und ihr habt euch wissen, was ich meine, besonders wenn ihr das in eurem Wraith-Games erlebt habt. Es ist etwas, wenn ihr Freunde wie diese. Jetzt, für diejenigen, die ihr euch vergessen habt, manchmal ist es ihr eigenes Teammates, die ihr euch. Oh, ihr eigenes Wraith-Portal-Kidnapp!
00:18:59 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
00:19:17 You know, sometimes things happen here, Tiff. And aside from what we saw with Reignite, we also have a few updates, right? Looking at APAC North and what we've been seeing over on the APAC North side of things. We saw a few highlights here between A versus C. We actually got to see Team Solid take the game in a very strong fashion. So much KP to their name. I believe they had like over at, by the end of this, like over 13, 14 KP. And they were just cleaning up everybody with the P20s before sliding.
00:19:46 Das ist nicht nur das, was wir gesehen haben. Wir haben auch Grupp B vs. C mit Eurysa's Team kommen und Reject gewinnen, das ganze Spiel und haben die Positional Advantage. Look at das, die PIXL auf die Füße von der P20. Havoc in die Hand und die High-Ground Positional Advantage ist immer wo du siehst, Tiv. Du wirklich. Und ich liebe, wie du gesagt hast, mein Name nach dem Wraith Portal, Vicky.
00:20:14 Absolutely! Und ja, ich denke, wie in den anderen Regionen auch, wir hatten...
00:20:30 Some teams coming out that we might not have expected to take the dubs here. But it's certainly a team that we've seen good things from in the past. So as we get into that footage, we'll get to see some stuff here from Keep Going Gaming. Previously, this is a team that has been like on the cusp of qualling for LAN. And of course, the great thing about the ALGS Open is that all of these teams, any Pro League team can get over there.
00:20:59 und will be competing. So, keep going gaming. They're hoping to qualify for the mid-season playoffs with this very strong performance, but at the very least, we will see them in New Orleans, hopefully. New Orleans, I don't... Yeah, look.
00:21:15 American Cities. Anyway, the other team that did very well was Green Stego. So in our second series of the game, they came out very strongly both times. They had a slow start and a fast finish. And that means that they're going to be on top of the leaderboard now. The other one we should point out there is Lonely Let Gone. They had Xiaoji, a new player that we haven't seen before, but a Phenom. This guy was an absolute beast. 30 plus kills.
00:21:44 One of the most dominant days from an individual player that we've ever seen in Pro League.
00:21:48 Yeah, you're not wrong. I mean, we're talking about the KP poll over in EMEA with Uchako being the cross-region at 31 kills from their series, but Shoji comes out and it's north of 31. You're just like, what is next? If we're setting the bar at that level only after the first two to three match days, it's kind of crazy. And if you missed out in the EMEA region today, well, it was Team Nemesis that took the overall dub on the day. We interviewed Zuni at the end, and it was just really good to hear from people gearing up for NOLA and that ALGS Open. But chat.
00:22:17 Hear me out, guys. I want to set some things straight here with Face It Watch because it's the best way to watch Apex Legends Global Series your way. There's a ton of features that just keep on improving with the functionality. I know that if I ever want to do a watch party, it's one of my best tools to go ahead and get that map feed up, track rotation, see what people are doing. And I always look into the Comp Apex Reddit and kind of their Discord group. And you can see that they use it all the time when it comes to the map stream to be
00:22:47 Hey, just what happened to that team? Why did they just go rogue and go over to Thermo? And next thing you know, they're down and out. But now you can create clips from it. You can listen to the comms, track your favorite teams your way with Face It Watch. And who knows? Pull up your own watch party. But guys, we had a good fun with MG, right? On the EMEA region. Well, today we're going to be having Blinkster for our halftime guest. So I'm going to open the floor to you at...
00:23:12 You guys love to chat across a variety of social media. So please make sure that you guys are tagging us because we are going to be having the What Does Chat Think segment. And if you've got questions for Blinkster, which, hey, you guys might. We've seen some really cool ones. Everyone was talking about the aura that MG had early in the EMEA region. So give us all your thoughts. The good, the bad, the ugly. We want it. And you know what you also want? We want a game one. And we want to go back to E-District. So Vicky, Genome, take it away.
Legendenauswahl und Strategien für E-District
00:23:40
00:23:40 Thank you so much, Tiff. I always love seeing more map diversity, legend diversity. Genome, we're at it again, now this time in the Americas. And watching scrims and the last two match days for ALGS, I've been noticing for these different regions, the priority of legend picks have really been influenced by this different map pool. But it's even more interesting to see how certain legends that we see so strong within Amiel or the Americas are some of the last legends that you see within
00:24:09 Das ist ein A-Pack.
00:24:11 Ja, es hat sich in den Regionen verändert, absolut. Ich meine, Newcastle ist die erste Bande, versus nicht die Bande an all in andere Lobbys. Das ist einfach wild. Ballistik ist in den Bande jetzt, wenn, an der Start des Legend-Pick-Meter, wir nie sah das überhaupt. Valkyrie war Bande in Apec-North, nach Game 5. Du wirst nicht erwartet das. Now, North America...
00:24:39 Die Skrims sind wahrscheinlich die höchste Publikation aus der ganzen Regionen. Wir haben eine bessere Idee, was hier wird. Und in E-District, wir erwarten Dinge wie Newcastle, vielleicht Alta. Depending wie aggro diese Teams werden, wird ein Krypto oder ein Ash in da.
00:24:58 100%. Let's get this started. Day number three, match number one here within the Americas Groups B versus C. I love how you highlighted the Altar too, especially after seeing some of those changes come out. I feel like Altar is such a strong legend. And you know what? Matching that together with an Ash goes even harder out here too. It looks like Team Orchid is just going to be rocking the Ash, Crypto, and the Catalyst. Catalyst, of course, being the other strong legend that we see, especially when it comes to some tricky rotates that you don't want to find yourself in.
00:25:28 Yeah, especially towards the end of the game, having a dark veil in some of these open areas, you know, if you get a lot of the final zones on E-District happen to be in the canals and these little open areas between the POIs and often you just don't have any cover. Obviously, most teams are going to be running Newcastle because it is game one, so you will have that.
00:25:54 You'll have your castle walls, you'll have your mobile shields. But in order to get from one spot to another to start setting that new castle utility up, that's where the cat wall comes in clutch. Sorry, I'm watching all the alters that we got out here too. About...
00:26:12 14 or so here, looking at a lot of catalysts, but also looking at where this zone pool is taking us, Genom, over to the southwest side of the map here. NRG already on their rotate, calling it an evac tower as they have that rain console and that survey beacon here. But it's about which of these squads are going to be able to find some place here over to where that zone is pulling, because nice guys also moving from Viaduct, taking some shots already at Leave No Witness that are probably off of that low ground lip where you could sit in in Viaduct and just look.
00:26:42 Yeah, I mean teams with priority moving very fast here, as you said, you know, three, four or five teams already down past Viaduct. Meanwhile, the other teams who realize that they won't get first pick of
00:27:00 Their spots in this final zone, yeah, they're just taking a little bit of time. They're going to pick up an extra Evo Harvester or two and make sure that they are a little closer to Purples when they make their way into the zone. And that way, it gives them a chance to sort of bully some other teams with that sort of mid to late priority. Meanwhile, though, looking at Fury, already getting a knock with the 30-30.
00:27:26 See the pings coming out here too. I love the high octane action that we're already seeing. And when I was talking about Vibe Isle, you know, moving around and how quick some of these squads are when it comes to their rotate. Furia already exiting out from Stadium ACP right behind them. But it was a fight for what looked to be the ring console here. So Furia will be able to get that information while so many other squads like you highlighted, you know, have already made their quick rotate into that next zone. This really leaves only like six or so squads.
00:27:56 Outside of where that next zone is pulling because everyone has been able to get a read on that circle console And something I'm just sort of thinking about as I look at this This composition from complexity here with ash cat and Newcastle is that You have such versatility, right? And that's what gets taken away as we go further and further through the series Jen but getting knocked somewhere. They're interesting. How do I start for 100 days? But as we take away some of those
00:28:24 Legends like Newcastle, like Catalyst, all of a sudden, your team composition becomes a bit more sort of one-dimensional, right? But if you have a look at these team compositions, they can kind of do it all. You can use Alter to get aggro on another team. You can use your Newcastle to set up in a spot and just play Turtle. It really is a more well-rounded composition in these first few games of the series.
00:28:50 I agree, because you also are able to kind of do something defensively, but play very aggressively with one or the other, whether you're looking at Newcastle or Catalyst. You can try to get the rest here while Dig Vives trying to get away to keep Unleashed alive. We're talking about them earlier and already in a lot of trouble.
00:29:05 VP in the distance, too. VP get taken out. And Nice guys now move in after what looked to be the 3P here. Cleaning up this full squad. Sang, we highlighted Nice guys. They're down 2-0 duo, but they're up on the high ground of Viaduct. And with all the alters, you have to be careful. But the Ballistic is also a problem that I had to highlight within the EMEA region.
00:29:28 Some teams only want to pick up Ballistic as a last resort, not Nice Guys. They want RKM, the Crypto Specialist, to get out there and let his two teammates loose as he chases them down. But as you said, Rampage, I don't know, is that enough to scare off all these other teams? That's tough for Nice Guys who find themselves very much in center zone.
Chaos in Viaduct und strategische Rotationen
00:29:55
00:29:55 Oh, when I hear a Rampage charged up, that's your corner, that's your line of sight. Like, you could have all of that. That's for real estate. Like, I'll go somewhere else until you burn right through that, especially when it comes to Ballistic and when he's in his ult here, too. But Furia are able to now rotate up on the high ground here. You did see that Rez coming in earlier on top of Viaduct and ACP also making their rotate.
00:30:17 After utilizing their own Portal Nexus. So a lot of these squads now, they're doing what they need to do on the edge of the zone. Gonna be able to see if they can get closer, deeper into that southwestern side. Fury and the Linus have so many other squads shooting at them when they were trying to take that evac.
00:30:31 Ja, so they're gonna hit the negative rotate right now, actually. Dude, does Furia have the ring info? Yeah, okay, you can see the green circle on their minimap there. And yeah, with Kiel getting sniped as well, that's a little bit rough. They've got the Voigt Nexus though, and this is just a beautiful thing that even if you get separated from a teammate who's not, you can get back together. There's still hope.
00:30:59 Big here after getting literally shot off of that Jump Tower in the line of sight of like two different teams. Fury are going to be able to get that reset and this is what I mean when I talk about Altered being so strong on E-District. You get to reposition and of course that Portal Nexus, you can have two up at the same time here.
00:31:16 And it's about the repositioning opportunities to also try to reset because none of these squads want to fully ape you unless they know they have the opportunity without a possible 3P pushing in on terms of timing. And now with the map overview and looking at where the circle is pulling, look how many teams are sharing that space over by Viaduct, over to the north side of Viaduct. I like where NRG's position is. They put themselves in a spot where they can really try to isolate one team over to their left side, but without giving up too much space, they're also going to be able to try.
00:31:46 So that way complexity doesn't try to rotate onto them. Yeah, I think the issue with this next ring is that, as you can see, there's big dividing walls in the middle of the zone, which means no matter which way this zone ends up shifting in the next ring, you're going to see a lot of kills happening around those chokes as teams have to start to move north, south, east, west, whichever way it ends up.
00:32:15 Favouring one set of these teams. Must be nice looking at Leave No Witness to have the Valkyrie that could go through those walls though, by the way. Especially when you have a higher apex on that Valkyrie ult. But then looking at what we could see some teams try to do as a risky play here. You try to find their own rotate. Energy will be in a really good spot where they could go to either the left side of the wall or the right side of the wall. While we take a look at Furia, full blue Evo still. Let's jump into a listening with Furia.
00:32:48 E back in here. Can we kill one? Yeah, yeah. Can we kill last? We should just keep moving to Neon. Yeah, let's go. We got Evo for that, it's fine.
00:33:11 Kross is kind of hard here. I can count all we need. I'm just... Can you guys get my...
00:33:31 Maybe we just hit UAV here and move? I feel like we should try to get Zone Scan first. Okay. I'm gonna control UAV building while you guys... Oh, actually I have to Q, nevermind. You might want to control UAV building, Noct. Yeah. I might go upgrade my PTs on Light, not gonna lie.
00:33:57 Alright, so we see FURIA actually not decide to take that fight, which is very interesting considering there was no one else around them and there was quite a bit of time for the next zone would close in as well, so a very safe option there for FURIA.
00:34:17 Yeah, honestly, also trying to prioritize, trying to get the upgrade on the P20s there. I heard from Madness' comms. They wanted to prioritize getting Ring Console 2. Now they got the Survey Beacon, so they see where everybody's positioned by that choke. That's 100 Thieves, by the way, that they see on their minimap. 100 Thieves taking some shots at Empire, so they also hear the shots going through. So playing a lot more safe and patient, it looks like here.
00:34:40 Nope, das ist die Route, die Führer wollen für jetzt gehen, aber sie werden in den 100 Thiefen sehr, sehr schnell gehen. 100 Thiefen, also Looking at Empire, sie werden können, auf der anderen Seite gehen. Ich glaube, wir werden sehen, wie das auf der anderen Seite geht. Ich glaube, wir werden sehen, wie das auf der anderen Seite geht. In der Street Market ist es, wir haben Shopify Rebellion, Looking at Nine Lies.
00:35:05 Ich bin nicht zu lieben, ich bin für Zyanu da. Aber ich sah die 30-30 in der G7, ich war ein bisschen Angst. Aber Shopify, sie bleiben, sie bleiben, sie bleiben und werden die Mythic Bin größer hier für Shopify. Furia wird in der Distanz, als sie über 100 Thieves machen. Aber first, Shopify jetzt haben sie zu sehen, und 9 Lies. After jetzt werden die Mythic Bin bekommen, sie werden die Portal Nexus nutzen können.
00:35:37 There's that void gate, opens. It'll stay open for 8 seconds if you do decide to follow a team after they've taken the void nexus back. Purple Slushie, as we mentioned earlier, starting off at Electro Dam, so this is quite a hike for them. That's why they are further towards the outer of the circle here. Nearby is Empire.
00:36:05 Mäden in the distance here. Empire have now rotated over to the right side, away from 100 Thieves and away from where Furia had tried to rotate to, closer to the edge of that northern zone. Now looking at Unleash and Purple Slushie.
00:36:20 Der Selechi ist einfach nicht so, dass sie in den Alter Queue haben. Mal schauen, ob sie sich in den Städten zu pushen. Look at die Catalyst Spikes, doch. Sie sind völlig in die Kontrolle über den Top-Floor. Jetzt schauen, um die Quadsen zu sehen, aber dann werden sie sich in den nächsten 3 Sekunden wiederholfen.
00:36:43 Okay, Purple Slushie pushing in. They've got the probably more enviable position here in that no one is on the back of them. Now we get a look at 100 Thieves who held a position. It seemed like they were going to have some fights with teams, but maybe it's the creative Alter rotations, but people finding ways around them in what would typically be a choke that other teams have to go through. But until Alter is banned, it does seem like...
00:37:14 Es ist einfacher als immer zu finden, von Point A zu Point B auf E-District.
00:37:43 Ja, das wird schon ziemlich hart sein.
00:37:50 The other team to reset here, I think 100 Thieves look like they're trying to take the scraps of this and get unleashed. Purple Slushie now completely removed from the lobby and there are the 100 Thieves. Okay, so looking at this zone, as you mentioned, NRG, their spot down towards the bottom of the map, very, very good.
00:38:14 We also mentioned how often it ends on these little canals between the different POIs. So this one between Street Market and Viaduct, again, that seems to be where it's heading. This is huge here for NRG. They called it out so early, too. That's why they positioned themselves on the south side. It's also the path where they were going to be less challenged, looking at the teams that may have wanted to rotate from the north side.
00:38:36 Look at the chaos that is happening over by Viaduct. You have ACP, you have CTE, LG, Orchid, Spectre, Nice Guys, all within the vicinity. Corinthians also looking at the teams from the outskirts of Viaduct. Meanwhile, 100 Thieves now moving in, looking at Fusion. Let's jump into a listening with 100 Thieves.
00:39:05 Du kommst du kommst du kommst du kommst
00:39:26 Funny, truly feeling the spirit of Easter sitting on those nades like it was a bunch of eggs. Very unfortunate here. 100 Thieves get eliminated. Spectre meet them back in the lobby. And Shopify, MT's got a Kraber in hand. Misses on his shot here. But I was seeing Koifel blow up the kill feed earlier on.
00:39:54 Seeing this position that they're currently in right now on the outskirts of this next zone, they put down the Portal Nexus, so they want to make their next move here. Nice 150 gear shot on the Kraber. I mean, you know, they're on Purples and Golds already, so it's not like they need the damage, but certainly searching for some kills. If you can find the 210 on their headshot without Helmets now, it's easier than ever to get the one-shot downs with the Kraber.
00:40:19 It's Xionu, however, who finds the scout shot onto Trevstacks. And Shopify, they're right in the middle here, but they're not quite in zone. And that actually makes this position quite precarious.
00:40:36 Ja, ich bin froh, dass das nicht ein Klapp von Dropped ist.
00:41:05 Gosh, if you wanted to look for it, certainly his teammates could drop on top of this! They're exposed!
00:41:12 A little bit of AD strifing is going to hide them from that. Then they take the Void Siphon straight up. You just have to be so ready when Alter is in the lobby. Teams can just get on top of you in the blink of an eye. Literally will catch you slipping. You have to be careful there too, especially when it comes to coming in from low to high ground. Such a great repositioning opportunity for Alter.
00:41:35 Now Envy moving in. I mean, look what this Fury just did right there. They had used the Ultra twice to get through the top, over to the high ground, and then to the side when they felt the pressure. Now they try to get out of their line of sight. LG now moving to start the fight. Shubi gets a knock. They trade it off. Losing on Saucer and Shubi next. LG get eliminated. So much of this Chaos collapsing on the northeast side of this map.
00:41:56 Envy hat eine fantastische Week 1. Wenn sie es hier zurückkehren, könnte sie auf den Nord-American Pro-League sein können.
00:42:25 Luckily, he is on the altar. He could try to scoop some from a death box right in front of him. Fury will eventually get eliminated in eighth place. Yeah, and you can see, even though this ring is still fairly large, there's just not many spots to play because you cannot play down there in the middle. You just can't. You have to delay that inevitability as long as you possibly can. Complexity, however, will have one of the best spots up here.
00:42:54 auf der Brücke und nicht nur das, Monsoon, der Sniper Specialist, hat den Sentineln in seinem Backpack, bereit zu kracken. Und er hat die Pressure, die Team zu versuchen, zu nehmen. Envy jetzt muss auf die Duell. Drops, noch eine Kreber, braucht ein großer Schuss hier. Alter Q, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall, in der Fall.
00:43:20 Like the Rotate opportunities here, but they're pinched between two other squads. Pink 210, but they're still getting looked at by nine lives. It's really up to Zapf now to make the magic happen. And he gets Zainu down. Nice. I mean, he was so unlucky that that player had red armor, so he got the 210, but didn't actually get the knock.
00:43:41 Und das ist, dass er noch nicht so ist. Nr.G. get eliminated. Shoppify jetzt in der Weg vor. Sie sehen 9 Lies get hit, aber noch nicht wollen. Catwall für Catwall. Wrappingen auf der anderen Seite, wo Zapf war.
00:43:56 Okay, Xiongnu, als der Catalyst, hat die Prerogative zu pushen durch die Wall, ob es ihm oder die Gegnern kann das nicht. So er braucht diese Abilität zu nutzen. MT, auf dem Newcastle ist bereit mit der Rez und er will mit seinem Leben. Und wir haben unsere letzten zwei Quads in der Nummer 1. Und 9 Lies war es geschafft, dass der erste Dog auf die Komplexität ist. Das ist nur Monsoon und 9 Lies.
00:44:23 Wow, ja, okay.
00:44:42 I think that's more than Newcastle, right? I think Newcastle was up at like 18 or something like that. So yeah, interestingly to see that might be the first one banned there. Let's have a look at the first match results there with Nine Lives taking out our first game. 20 points for them, backed up by Shopify Rebellion.
00:45:03 Obviously, you've got the marriage of an amazing IGL, an amazing frag, and that's why they get the spread across both the placement points and the kills there, unlike Complexity, who did rely a bit more on their second place.
00:45:17 Yeah, playing a lot more back, too. You saw Monsoon had Blue Evo for quite some time. Now looking at our top three squads, though, of our Match 1. Nine lives, 20 total points here, eight total kills. Meanwhile, Shopify, though, still able to get 10 KP. The massive amount of damage here in total for this squad to try to match that very closely to Nine Lies. And even Complexity out here, too, from afar. Unfortunately, Funk didn't get any kills, but it was about that second place finishing here for that squad.
00:45:46 Very, very nice there. So, yeah, look, a fun little first game. It ended very quickly there at the end. I mean, as we mentioned, there was not a lot of space to play, and that's even with Newcastle, you know, creating barriers as well as Catalyst creating, you know, extra playable space with the Catwall. So interesting to see how that first game played out.
00:46:09 Yeah, literally Catwall marking an X here on what was left of that zone. And that's just the first game of E-District. We still got two more to go. Game number two coming to you on the other side of the spring.
Rückblick auf Spiel 1 und Legendenauswahl für Spiel 2
00:47:57
00:47:57 Welcome back, everyone, to Matchday No. 3, Groups B vs. C, and what a stellar victory right there from Nine Lies. And honestly, Vicky, you and Genome crushed the cast. I was kind of looking back, and I was like, where was Nine Lies prior to this Matchday? And it was their only performance that we've seen thus far, obviously, was a 10th place overall in the day. So to kick things off with a win on E-District here, I like it.
00:48:22 It was huge playing off those little low ground houses too. And I believe their POI is resort. So making their way over there and being able to find some spots to play off of when we saw so many teams over by Viaduct was difficult. It was. And it's so funny because we were just talking about our POIs on E-District with the draft ahead of match number one. And I was specifically talking about the team coming out of Lotus. And I was like, look, if we're going to see some of those city hall endings or maybe those energy banks, not going to be bad rotations. It's only bad when you have to go all the way south.
00:48:51 If you can win coming out of Resort, you're doing just fine considering we had so many teams kind of collapsing on that north side where it was complexity that had really cleared out that southern side of the zone from Old Town. I'd love to go ahead and pull up the final circle yet again in case you at home missed it or we can kind of find something that we didn't see initially while casting it because... Yeah, sorry. Sometimes you gotta let those hit because MT is just trying to thread the needle right there.
00:49:18 Man, he hit a few of those, too. He looked really nice out here, especially right there, right through the cracks of the stairs. Always feels nice getting these shots, but man, it's so irksome whenever you don't get that initial knock there, too. But then after making the Ultra Porter, we saw a lot of the action keep it going. Envy now continuing on the domination with the Kraber, getting the initial knock and still trying to take these fights. But this is where a lot of the chaos happened, Tiff. We saw all the Catwalls coming up to help some of these teams reposition when they were down to either a duo or a solo.
00:49:48 Oh, Thurse auf da, auf der top. Envy hat nicht aus dem Weg. Ich respecte Zapto und was er able zu tun hat.
00:49:57 But sorry about the red shield right there. Unfortunate, even with you hitting him for 210 and the inevitable double catwalls. MT, I think, got two reses off towards the end because we saw Koifel, I believe, go down just before this, and MT had already picked him up. So continuously getting those resets. It's moments like that, Vicky, where I'm wishing I could have had the comms of what MT was screaming. Right, just to hear how chaotic it can also sound there, too. I mean...
00:50:24 Es ist aber, wenn du deine Graver-Shots hast und du musst, aber du kriegst nicht die Initial Knock.
00:50:29 But then you have other two squads watching you at the same time. It's been fun to watch the action play out on E-District, especially with some interesting rotates utilized by the altar. Now moving on to game number two, though, on E-District. We say goodbye to Catalyst. Yeah, goodbye, Catalyst. This mirrors exactly what we saw in match day number two for the Americas region. But we had started on Broken Moon, and still it was Catalyst that was going out first. So goodbye, no more dark veils, no more piercing spikes.
00:50:58 If the same vibe is to be had, we could see a potential for Newcastle or Ash to go out next, which is interesting because we were talking about this in EMEA. APAC North last night, no Catalyst got banned and no Newcastle.
00:51:14 Man, es ist so crazy. Meanwhile, Newcastle und Catalyst sind die zwei ersten Legends zu sagen, die wir in den EMEA und den Amerikas sagen können. Und Ash, natürlich, du hast Ash in den Mix gehört. Wir werden sehen, welche von diesen Legends werden wir sehen, für Game 3. Aber für Game 2, jetzt...
00:51:32 Not having the Catalyst really kind of allows the Newcastle to shine through, so that's kind of what I'm expecting going into this. You know what I'm expecting? Vicky one day to register for Challenger Circuit. Considering it starts May 24th, you have plenty of time. You're telling me all about your time playing Ranked with Graceful. You and I both know and love DraftPoint solely because of Batman, so 100%. I think you could do work there.
00:51:56 Listen, DraftPoint, it is honestly such a good POI. It also allows you to get some great rotates. It allows you to actually split the POI if you want to land there for ranked and split that with another team. There's a lot of opportunities right there, but there's also a lot of opportunities for our squad that just took game number one within nine lives. Again, with AKP2 really starting themselves up strong here for our first leading squad.
00:52:21 Es geht um das Rotate schnell zu sehen, was ich möchte, weil der Weg von Rezor über das South Side des Viaduct war so schnell.
00:52:29 Es war. Und jetzt mit der Katalist zu verabschieden, werden wir sehen, andere Legends kommen durch. Vayne hier in Newcastle ist, aber wir verwenden es mit den Rampart, über die Großteile der Team. Ein paar Caustics hier und da, und sogar die Rogue Fuse kommen. Honestly, viel mehr Fuse in die Amerika-Sidee von uns, als wir gesehen haben, in der Amerika-Sidee sind. Das wird interessant sein, weil dann geht es um die Nades zu stacken.
00:52:58 You already have the Altar in certain compositions like Shopify Rebellion. They have the Altar and the Newcastle, so they already have that support and recon that you could work off of. So kind of get that double scan if you need here between Fuse putting in some pressure, Altar kind of helping your team rotate with the Newcastle together. And we are going back down to the south, but this time over to the southeast here, closer to Humbert Labs.
00:53:22 Okay. I mean, we're just going to give Complexity a lot of easy rotations and niceness. I mean, Nine Lies, they proved that it doesn't matter if you're on the center of the map or all the way south. Like, we are winning maps out of Resort. So we're going to just go just a smidge further on that rotate, and maybe we'll get to tap in and keep more eyes on how they managed to get there so quickly. But Complexity, you do have that survey beacon. I'm looking to see, did we get a ring console? Are they going to know that we need to sit there? Because when we were talking to Zuni at the end of EMEA, I was like, hey, you know, you're in...
00:53:51 in der ersten Place, in Game 6. Es pulls your POI, your Dropspot. What do you do? He's like, dude, we weren't even able to scan by that time. So it's like we just based our information off everyone rotating in. And you can see NRG moving from Shipyard. They hit the Evac. Spectre already going as far south as possible. And Fusion and Unleash kind of wrapping around.
00:54:11 Yeah, I was going to say, that's been the biggest indicator for the teams that don't have that ring console available to them on their POI, just seeing how quick so many other squads have already gotten a curve, ahead of the curve, finding their spot into where they see the circle is going to be pulling. So that's kind of like the hint that some of these teams could really take advantage of, as you could already see so many squads already making their way over to Humbert Labs, ACPO. Scrim, scrims, all right. Looks like we had some issues here with the lobby.
00:54:38 And we'll be able to look at where our next zone is going to take us here on eDistrictif. Yeah, sick. I mean, maybe we didn't want to go to the South. That's understandable. I can only curse so many endgame zones because I was looking at the timeline after match day number two. I know Genome was talking about how VP got three insane back-to-back-to-back pulls of the game last week. And I saw some people talking about it. They're like, how did that even happen? And I was like, it was me. I'm the problem, Vicky. It is.
00:55:05 You're cursed. I mean, remember that time when we casted? We had like the same zone pool. Was it Climatizer twice? Three times.
00:55:11 Didn't that happen to Echo HQ2 or did that not happen on Stormport? Okay, yeah. It just consistently happens. It happened on LAN. It happened in my first ever ALGS broadcast. I'm all right with that. But from my understanding, we just want to make sure that everyone is in the lobby and it is a fair game to be played here in America. As we talked about this being the last match day online before the ALGS NOLA LAN. And everyone's going to get all of their practice and all things in.
00:55:40 I don't think so. Especially with all the changes that we've had to see, right? Going into this Pro League, I was getting a little nervous watching you guys cast and talking about the legend bands because this is a really big overhaul compared to what we've seen with an ALGS over the last few years. So not only introducing those legend bands, we have an entirely new map pool too to pick these maps from.
Ankündigung des Apex Legends LAN-Events in New Orleans
00:56:01
00:56:01 I know, new legend bands, new map pool, new city that we're going to be headed towards. A lot of our Apex players across the globe have never been to New Orleans. So let's go ahead and throw to that teaser trailer of what is to be expected while we get that Lobby Remade for y'all.
00:57:08 Target greatness. I said it earlier and I'll say it again, that New Orleans for Apex Legends is going to be interesting. There's nothing quite like Apex Legends on LAN. If you've never been there before, I think this is the perfect time for you to drop on down. 160 teams, so much action. Legend bands in person. E-District. So go ahead and get that QR code signed and grab your ticket today. I won't be there.
00:57:34 I am hoping that for all of you who are not from America, have never had beignets, can get all of the good food and all of the fun times for Apex.
00:57:43 That's the best thing about New Orleans is literally the food, shrimp po'boys, po'boys in general, the beignets, great coffee from Café du Monde, and of course, the best Apex action you could find yourself in land. And again, like you mentioned, Tiff, there is literally no experience than attending an ALGS land because you get to sit down in an arena full of so many other fans that love Apex, that love ALGS, that are following their favorite player stories, and to feel that energy in the crowd, to hear everybody scream for their favorite players.
00:58:12 That energy is so contagious. Are we going to get another dupe moment at LAN? Because man, I know everyone was already talking about it. We are ready. We are waiting. While we get this lobbying situated, I do want to kind of refresh up on the POI draft that we had witnessed. So let's go ahead and talk more about it, considering all of our teams from the northern side of things.
00:58:35 Yeah, they had fun in Match 1. Complexity from Old Town. Look, they had that southern side cleared out, and I thought we were going to see a massive game from them, but that's all right. It didn't necessarily pan out for them, but there's so many more games to go.
00:58:51 Yeah, the fact, though, that we had a little sneak peek of that second southern zone, like, imagine Complexity kind of eating up between the first two games, not wondering where that next zone could take us to, but Complexity kind of, you know, shaking it off, seeing where they could go to next, but also talking about Nine Lines, who have been able to now move from that resort side all the way down to that southern zone in that first game was quite impressive after we were able to see teams like FaZe trying to hold off some other squads, 100 Thieves holding some other squads off over to that northern.
00:59:20 hier, wenn es um Shopify zu finden, um ihre eigene Raum zu finden, und dann zu Gait Keep Furia zu Beginn. True, und bevor du gesagt hast, wo ich mich, oh mein Gott, Complexity, ich dachte, ich dachte, du warst etwas Massive. Ja, ich verstehe. Sie haben 13 Punkte. Ich dachte, sie hätte gewonnen das. Das ist das, was ich für mit dem, als wir nachdenken, über 9 lives, 8 kills, 4,600 damage. Wir verlieren auf Catalyst. Honestly.
00:59:46 Ich habe versucht zu machen, aber du denkst, dass wir in Newcastle verlieren würden, was wir gesehen haben? Ja. Ja, ich glaube es war 18, was wir in 1. Aber ich weiß nicht, was wir in 2. Aber ich weiß nicht, was wir in 2. Aber wer weiß, es ist Zeit, wenn du willst.
01:00:02 Ja, definitiv, ich fühle mich, weil Newcastle ist so ein starkes Legend zu haben auf deinem Team. Nicht nur kannst du finden, du kannst du dein eigenes Raum finden, du kannst du das Rez mit der Knockdown Shield, du kannst du die Regenerative Health, du kannst du auch. Es kommt in Clutch so viel, so Fast Rez, du kannst du auch auf das. So es hilft, dein Team zu bleiben, auf wo sie fühlen, dass sie auch andere Teams haben, wenn sie nicht ihre Raum haben. Since wir sehen, viele Teams schnell auf E-District, wir sehen, andere Creatives mit Alter.
01:00:31 Es ist sehr notwendig, dass das Newcastle-Wall haben. Also, ich liebe diese kleinen Flybys auf E-District. All right, wir beginnen mit 2. Vielen Dank nochmal für Ihre Patience. Oh, und alle kommen auf in. Wir sehen uns Blossom Drive. Wir wissen, Nine Lies ist in Resort. Wir müssen sie mit ihnen spenden. Aber wir gehen es zurück. Wir sehen, wo unsere Zone-Algorithm geht uns, als wir ein guter Blick auf McLovin, Vayne, Cersei.
01:01:00 Oh, ja.
01:01:06 Wir machen das, um das Jumt Tower zu sehen. Sie können sie sich schon sehen. Sie haben die Lion Ammo Armoury hier. Wir haben das Free Upgrade auf ein P-20. Wenn ihr nicht mehr einen zweiten P-20 ist, gibt es ein Free-Second P-20. Das ist das, was wir warten? Nein, er ist die G7. Ich habe gesagt, wir alle auf den Rundhausen warten und warten für die P-20-20 zu sparen. Ihr P-20-20 ist hier.
Spielgeschehen und Strategien in ALGS Match Day 3
01:01:33
01:01:33 Take up anything we need out here for Nine Lies. And I do want to highlight something, Tiff. Something interesting has happened. What is it? The zone said, Sike, we ain't going to Old Town. We're going all the way to the northwest side of the map, the complete opposite corner.
01:01:52 Stop, I'm waiting for a scan, but we're going to pull it up anyways. Okay, so we do see very similar. Now, if you think back to EMEA and you were here, you were watching it. You had your Easter brunch and you were like, all right, I'm going to tune into the ALGS action. Well, 100 Thieves missed out on three back-to-back City Hall endings. Okay, well, maybe you wanted to bring some of that vibe to them here in the Americas because you can see that now. Team Orchid already hits the EVAC tower. They know exactly.
01:02:20 where it's going based off that ring console and are situating themselves as close to nine lies as humanly possible but they do taper off and position in between where shopify and 100 teeth has kind of got space
01:02:32 Oh man, and look at this. With the way that they're going to be able to move up, Empire also taking their time exiting out of Lotus, which is a big POI. It takes some time to get the loot that you need here too. But Purple Slashy, LG, everyone is on their way. Frame One out here while Nine Lives finally coming out of Resort. CVP 100 Thieves here over to the side. Shopify and Envy probably going to try to collapse on each other there because I do know there is a ring console. So the fight for some ring consoles is also a possibility here because once you commit to this rotate here, Tiff, it doesn't look like City Hall.
01:03:02 Has a ring console available to it in that middle section? You have to try to bank on going all the way north over through Resort if you want to take your time or closer to where you see that evac tower called in by Envy. I think that's what's going on with Complexity as well. They're rotating out of Old Town and filtering through Shipyard where our ring console is. So we're going to see them get that information and be able to be rotating on in. But based on the reset, they've got a heck of a long way to go. And Purple Slushie already throwing down the motherlode. P20's in hand.
01:03:31 That blue mag, oh, just ready to add to the tally on Apex Legends status. Put another one on the board here. Purple slushie. Maybe a Sophie Tucker fan out here. Seeing where they're going to be rotating here. See the pings as well.
01:03:49 And here in the fighting in the distance because they're slowly approaching VP and right behind VP is going to be LG CTE as well Yeah, they heard them they want to back away here
01:04:02 You can see VP, one purple, two blues on the inside. But at least with Newcastle still in the mix, tons of playable space across the way. Now granted, we were seeing 13 teams available with Ring 5 starting to close, and we lost out on about five or six teams in Game 1. But it took a while. At the start of Round 4, we had only lost out on one team. That's what I love about E-District.
01:04:30 Ja, wir haben so viele Teams, die bis zum Rund 4 oder Rund 5 sind, wenn wir alles auf jeden Fall sehen.
01:04:37 A lot of these teams that are forced outside of these buildings where you could co-exist now forced into the open where we have been seeing a lot of these canal end zones like Gino had mentioned before and that doesn't really provide you a lot of cover especially if you don't have a Newcastle to work with which we do here luckily because he's not banned just yet but that's what you could expect to see on e-district. Yeah I mean there's a couple legend compositions that we have that are just the most popular in general it's Alter Newcastle Rampart with a 50% pick rate Alter Fuse Newcastle 25% pick rate and
01:05:06 Das Altar ist die reale, viable Spacemaker für sie. Plus, wenn wir all die Veränderungen haben, die sie bekommen hat, in Split 1. Das ist so viable. So, jumping on NRG hier. Du hast das Altar. Rampart, Newcastle. So, interesting.
01:05:27 Ja, ich bin bereit, ob es Recon oder Support ist. Okay, nur die zwei. Hier haben wir die Rampart und Newcastle. NRG jetzt noch ein paar Shots, ein schönes Shots von Yanyo mit dem 30-30. Preffiert sie aus dem Feld. Und das ist ein isoliertes Spiel zwischen NRG und ACP.
01:05:45 Over at NRG Bank. I just called it NRG Bank as if they owned it instead of Energy Bank. Let me just tell you, when you have like one last brain cell fighting for a chance here, but you do have the Amped Cover, so we're increasing that damage straight onto the 30-30, but we have to think, what is Timmy calling for here when he's looking for space? No, we're gonna upgrade our P2020s. Watch my back.
01:06:07 Technically, you're not wrong. I mean, Energy did hold their ground here over by Energy Bank, but ACP have now completely kind of rotated, wrapping around the other side. See what's going to happen and transpire between these two teams while also looking at the action with Shopify. MT is going to be able to reset. Meanwhile, Orchid is inside the building right across from them. They were able to hold them off. Rambo being on White Shield and on the Caustic, too. Hmm.
01:06:35 To be fair, I like this position out of them. I really do. And I love that we got to talk to Rambo last week and then seeing them get picked up from Orchid. And I saw Hambino kind of talking around the community of Apex today. He's like, you're telling me on Easter Sunday I'm playing Crypto. Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, that's what's happening right now. We get to see everything and nothing is amiss here.
01:07:00 Especially on a holiday, right? And then Shopify, we're also feeling a little pressed too, because in the distance I did see that phony was able to get a knock onto one of the members of Shopify. They get a reset. No one's going to fully extend it onto them. And then we get to see nice guys with their rotate, trying to cut off this squad right ahead of them. I love these shots of charge up Rampage ready to go.
01:07:20 My beloved. Woah, the fact that we just got bamboozled right there is altered. We're just waiting. Let me in, coach. Let me in. I've got my P20s ready to happen. Cody just barrels on through. Let's see what's waiting for him on the other side. It's going to be fine, right?
01:07:35 Oh, it is! Nobody wait for them on the other side. Where? Oh, okay, RK. Pull out that drone. Let's go hunting. Wait, Sang is literally one pixel of health right now. He is running for his life. Well, Cody is hungry. Cody has not stopped running. It doesn't matter if Sang is one. He is chasing down January. Oh, and then he gets...
01:07:57 Are you serious? He gets away. Now they have to spend some time maybe trying to see if they can get the Risa, but RKN does not want to let go of his KP. RKN, you ready for this? You gonna try? I mean, look what January is to the Cody. I mean, saying meanwhile is looking for the pickup at RKN. No way. He's got that dad confidence now.
Dramatische Wendungen und Team-Dynamiken im Apex Legends Wettbewerb
01:08:16
01:08:16 Der Spenden so viel Zeit nach der Straggler ist. Ich weiß, was Jannery zu Nice-Guy ist jetzt? Das R9 hat. Das R9 hat. Das hat eine kleine High-Grad-Advantage. Schöten Heads für free. Jannery hat sich jetzt weg. Nice-Guy ist jetzt, dass sie zu viel Zeit haben. Sie sehen, ob sie sich in der Nähe von der nächsten Zone zu können.
01:08:44 What is it with Nice Guys wasting time? That's unfortunate, but January is like, I don't even have time to heal. Finds a dark corner on E-District, some back alley, and will now have to go on a massive regain. I'm looking for replicators, I'm hoping for good vibes, but in the meantime, Complexity on the outskirts, just ahead of where Nice Guys is, so into the drone we go to do some research on where they're potentially lurking.
01:09:11 Okay, Monsoon. Work that rock. Take that angle.
01:09:40 Grab that head peek. Just looking for toes. G7 is one of my favorite weapons in all of Apex, by the way. One of the first weapons I learned how to play the game with.
01:09:51 Das sagt viel über dich. Ich bin okay mit dir. Ich liebe was ich, aber es ist okay. Ich liebe die G7 über die 30-30, so wir sind 100%. Und dann sieht man Führer jetzt noch als ein Duell. Ich habe noch nicht gesehen, dass die Kielfeet in der Kielfeet zu sehen. Madness versucht, dass die Scheelah singen, um sich nicht zu sehen, dass er sich nicht hinterherholt.
01:10:14 Der Replicator ist gerade in front of sie. Es ist eher schwierig, aber es könnte eine Schwadung von ihnen sein. Die Fighting hat nicht stopped. Nice, guys. Sie gehen in, finden ein Pick auf Complexity. Sie bekommen eine andere, und sie nehmen auch Complexity. Ich verstehe es. Von Cody, von seinem Perspektive Tipp, es sieht aus wie Cody ist für Blut. Ja.
01:10:34 I mean, they've got to feel something after that chase to January, who is still rogue on E-District, but if we're going to charge it up, you might as well. I know Ashe did get patched just, what was it, a week and a half ago, and they made her slightly slower, still incredibly viable, and so fun to be witness played. And when people just do it and time everything right, Corinthians, though, speaking of time and everything right, those med kids, to perfection.
01:11:04 Pretty respectable. You're...
01:11:31 Kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't situation when it comes to these choke points. So I prefer if you can stay healthy and give yourself some more time to fight. Now will Empire Zone wrap them? That would be a wild call. I don't think we'll see that, but you will get that fight between Purple Slushie and Corinthians. And as we see that circle start to move further, nice guys are going to put themselves in a solid position. They're probably going to have to fight Unleash and we'll have to keep tabs on if Shopify Rebellion will push in.
01:11:59 Can we talk about where January went, though, Vicky? Because Fusion's roaming on the south still. I mean, the fact that January has been keeping the dream alive. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and if you bring your whole squad in, at least in the zone, now you can try to reset. You have an evil harvester on your path and two support bins, so we have to tune in to what Fusion does next later. Nine Lies, though. You're winners of game number one, holding it down with the Newcastle. Bocek in hand for McLovin. Oh. Hello? McLovin?
01:12:30 More of that please. Furia elsewhere has gotten knocked back. You mentioned he had gone down earlier. I believe it was the hands of Saucer who picked up that kill. So one KP point to that squad and back to a full three stack for endgame. Now with round three closing, this is very similar to what we had witnessed. 19 squads still alive until we see this fight here. The EMP goes off. Cody really low has to dive into a nearby shack behind.
01:12:58 The storage container. No way. Look who's going to wait for them on the outskirts of the zone right now. Oh, they may get their revenge. We have to see. It is Nice Guys getting pinched with Fusion being on the other side. LG trying to be the other side of the sandwich. Fusion forced it back away. Nice Guys now take over against their fight versus LG. And they're not alone. Unleash is there too.
01:13:21 Oh, Shubi mit dem Wall Slam. Kommt ein bisschen zu late. Sauced down in die Death Box. Naughty ist auch auf der ground. Und look, wer ist nebenbei. Fusion geht. Nise Guy ist kind of peinbar. Und wir sehen ein Reset kommen auf Naughty, aber wir gehen von verschiedenen Angeln. Es wird nicht gut endet, hier. Nein, wieso. Wir haben drei Teams gespielt an LG's Newcastle Walls, unleashing every bit of ammo sie haben und zerstört das Ult.
01:13:49 Meanwhile, Envy got the Alter Queue. Gonna try to take it up, but you want to try to mix things up too at the same time. You don't want to be so one-dimensional here. You got the two Alter Queues right in front of them. Well, you can currently still hear the pings. They want to keep moving over up ahead. See where they're going to go to with all the fighting happening in front of them. But Leave No Witness are still right next to Envy right now. I love this. Envy, top three performance on match day number one. Want to keep that consistency going forward. And VP, second.
01:14:17 Almost a first place on match day two. They want to answer back for that. They've already picked up a couple KP here, but we are looking to anchor down on the southeastern side of the zone where they have three teams looking to jockey for the same position, but plenty of loot, a new castle wall to hide themselves. We just have to maintain consistency here.
01:14:37 Und du hast also fünf Quads außerhalb der Zonen, die versuchen ihren Weg in deinem Line-of-Sight, in deinem Ort, in deinem Ort. Spectre, NRG, CTE, ACP. Nice, guys. Now looking to pull back LG. NRG now trying to fully extend it. Timmy getting some shots with a P20. Doesn't like the train here, so he's going to be able to go right back to the high ground. While Jen is going to be able to get that knock onto Shubi. Yanya missing some of these shots. Timmy comes in to clean up what was left here, leaving only Guild.
01:15:06 So you let the Sheila sing before the Ultra Q helps them. What just happened? Sometimes you just gotta get Sheila. A couple more bullets. No. Wait, I was like, we are painting a frame around this man. Spectre Esports down and out. No time to get Timmy back in before we have to hit the road going. A solo chance for us. Unless... Can we get him?
01:15:32 Oh, ja, ja, wir können. Und in Rampart 2, wir können auch noch ein extra Cover haben. Wir werden versuchen, die Reset zu haben, die Duell-CTE zu eliminieren. V.P. in Trouble ist, Luz zu versuchen, die Portal zu kommen, und er wird weg, während Slayer ist auch noch ein Knochen. Okay, zurück zu V.P., alle drei auf. Wir haben eine gute Spieler-Advantage, mit dem wir sind, wo wir sind. Wir haben eine Solow-Nice-Güß, nach der Westen. Wir werden das Duell-Güß-Güß-Güß.
01:15:59 To your east. And maybe a team behind you. So I'm liking the numbers. What we're seeing. And honestly Team Orchid getting a bit of an org buff right there. Is they just absolutely body Shopify Rebellion. I mean Orchids are in season right now. It is spring out here. So Orchid now getting some extra KP to their name. In that isolated fight. Nobody there to 3P. But 100 Thieves did here. And they are looking out for Team Orchid. Until they eventually have to rotate into that next zone. Here in the next 30 seconds.
01:16:28 Oh, ein guter Freak-Hands. Sie sehen, wo Orchid ist. Wir sahen 100 Thieves, die zu einem Zeitpunkt waren. Wir wissen, dass die Kraft von High Ground und VP ist. Aber mit so vielen Altars, die noch in die Spiel sind, kann man schnell move. Und Zack, auf der Hunt, PK in Hand, swings alle drei von ihnen, connects für ein paar Damage, aber sie sind wieder weg. Und wer wird Kostet? A Maser Moment.
Entscheidende Momente und Strategiewechsel im Apex Legends Turnier
01:16:56
01:16:56 Oh no, wenn man sich nicht mehr fühlt, aber alle schauen Sie an den gleichen Zeit. Das ist für die Real Estate für Purple Slushie. Und jetzt muss die P-20 singen. Die V-P get eliminated, 9 Quads leften hier. Und Purple Slushie ist jetzt auch dabei, die Rampart walls von der Opposite End für ihre eigene Gain. Okay, Pluto. Not giving up. Find the knock on to Timmy. Onmoo.
01:17:21 Being reserved here, staying with the team, staying healthy, but able to put down pressure, mother load, knuckle clusters, incoming nades. I mean, think back to when we were witnessing Alliance. I think they had five nade indicators on their screen at this point in time in EMEA.
01:17:38 Das ist eine sehr gute Sache über Newcastle. Er wird einfach nur ein paar Nades geben. Ahnmue versucht zu kommen. Er wird gerade hinter den Ruck mit einem Pressfire von Future. Das ist ein P20 von Afar. Und dann wird Ahnmue von der anderen Seite geschehen. Und dann wird Ahnmue von der anderen Seite geschehen, um die Pressure zu halten.
01:17:57 Not Electrified, no more. There goes the Tether, Unleashed down and out in 9th, and Purple Slushie continuing their Reign of Terror as they work this entire circle. I feel like they've got an Inkling, there's a Solo nearby them, and we haven't been able to kind of isolate them out. But for now, when you're controlling that side of the circle, it's Jen Burton on the other side who tries his hand at their own Sheila.
01:18:23 Und auf der Highground mit der Sheilah 2, werden sie das Rez auf Tephoni getrennt. Purple Slushie ist immer wieder aufhörst. Empyre jetzt, hinter dem Truck. Sie haben keine Möglichkeit, um auf den anderen Seite zu verwenden. Sie sind auch auf 9 Lies hier. Purple Slushie ist jetzt nach hinten von Empyre. Sie bekommen die nächste Knochen, und sie bekommen die Knochen. Beautiful Arc Stars hier für Pluto. Das ist ein Massive Spiel für sie. North von 10 Kp.
01:18:51 Oh, mehr Nades? Das ist schon ein infinite Nade-Glitch, es fühlt sich für mich. Ich weiß nicht, wie viele sie haben. Es gibt noch mehr in die Inventory und EMPs kommen direkt über 100 Thieves. Orchid, auf der Seite der Seite, Leib-No-Witness ist, einfach vor ihnen. Und Jen, sie endlich get Phony, wieder auf der Kiste, zu Verholz. Wir sind wirklich gut, mit Sheila. Wenn Orchid versucht, wir werden wiederholen, mit 142 Rounds von Pure Pot Power.
01:19:19 Es geht darum, ein Messer zu stellen. Du wirst die Läser wissen, dass du nicht nur für einen Moment wirst, aber du musst auf die Pressure sein und du wirst wie ein Chameleon. Du wirst auf zwei andere Teams bewegen, während du immer wieder aufhörst.
01:19:34 Gehen ist das best er kann. Ambino geht weiter. Es ist Purple Slushy, die noch mehr K.P., wenn sie können. Die Pressure auf den Rest des Lobbys. Statt Numbers in ihrem Favoren. Und endlich, wir gehen zu der Center. Wir gehen zu der Highground. Und wir haben mehr Nades.
01:19:53 Und wir sahen die Schilas 2, Ringingen, aus Jennen. Purple Slushie now moves in. Future is the first to get taken out. Pluto has a slight high ground, but the PK shots, a 2-pump from right behind him, leave him 1. Amu now sets down the new Castle Wall, looking down at the team's right below their feet. Our last three spots between Nine Lies, Purple Slushie, and 100 Thieves. And Nine Lies, your Match 1 winners, all three up. Kind of crazy when you've got Purple Slushie down to a duo. 100 Thieves just behind the Mobile Shield, looking to heal up if they can.
01:20:22 Die 3, V2, V2, und Miklovin, zu versuchen, eine Fortress zu nehmen. Reinig Verholz zu kommen auf den Top 3, hier auch. 9 Lies, Vayne geht um. Cersei ist die letzte hier, um den Traum für 9 Lies zu halten, aber ein weiterer Blick für 9 Lies. Jetzt ist Almu, er hat es literally 1. Cersei, jetzt kann er nicht klutzt, er kann er nicht! 9 Lies, er kann er nicht!
01:20:47 The back to back. They were not happy with that 10th place in match day number two. I know Vicky. Vicky's like, dude, this is what we've been waiting for. This is the kind of chaos that E-District brings. This is what...
01:21:13 Gott, ihr wird das auf Land sein. Es wird gut sein. Los geht's und den Match Resultat, so wir können sehen, wie viele Punkte sie hatten in der Back-to-Back.
01:21:21 The way that the camera just like cut off on the other side, like Purple Slushie, are you guys okay? 19 kills? Like you just casually coming into a Pro League day, cleaning up the majority of the lobby. Like that is insane here. Purple Slushie. They got the wrong memo. They thought this was pubs. They just kept totally forward and it worked out here for Purple Slushie. But nine lives with the back-to-back.
01:21:45 What a heavy-hitting team, though, looking at our second-place squad, Purple Slushie. 100 Thieves are behind them with 4 KP. But looking at our top performances, I mean, when you see 19 KP on the board, Tiff...
01:21:57 You have to take a look at who's been racking up that kill, and that's gonna be Pluto with 11 Kp. Future with eight assists. We saw him with a bunch of nades too, ready to go, as well as Pluto with the 2.7 K damage. Is that the real MVP? Is it the nades at the hands of Purple Slushie? I mean, they hailed from Electro Dam versus Nine Lies Esports walking into the City Hall ending from a resort.
01:22:19 So, much shorter rotation for them. But still, with the series results, you can see we're going to lose out on Newcastle next. And just a six-point differential after a back-to-back win for Nine Lies Esports. Purple Slushie, a heavy-hitting match. Oh, we're just getting started. We still have one more game of E-District before we jump on over to Broken Moon. But I want more action like that here at the ALGS Americas after this break.
01:22:56 Das war's für heute.
01:23:44 so ist ja ich habe ich habe ich habe ich habe ich habe ich habe ich habe ich habe ich habe
01:24:34 Und ich bin ich bin ich bin ich
01:25:27 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:25:46 Ja, 19 kills in a single game is pretty gross, can't lie about that one.
01:26:13 That's incredible, especially in North America where it tends to be a little bit tighter and harder to just roll through a lobby like that. So, you know, spreading them out across, but 11 kills in particular going to Pluto? Crazy.
01:26:29 So between that and then the Crypto EMP coming in, it was so much happening behind the center console here for 100 Thieves.
01:26:58 Das ist ein Problem zu tun, auch.
01:27:01 Yeah, it's pretty tough. You saw them like, you know, just locked in that small space down below, just trying to hold people out with the Sheila. But I think something that happens when you get more and more ramparts in a game is like people are really expecting it. So it's actually very hard to catch them off guard with the sort of inbuilt drawbacks of Sheila, which is that you move a lot slower. You have the laser coming out. So you're actually quite predictable with the Sheila and pros tend to be quite good at playing around.
01:27:30 Man, the acknowledgement from Cersei to also slide down and then try to get that knock was also very impressive here too. Just being able to get that and get the trade. Nonetheless, you were able to basically get the two KP that you needed that you didn't have before because they won that game with those two KP that we saw right there in the final zone. Yeah.
01:27:50 Yeah, exactly. Just coming off the back of that is, yeah, it looked really impressive. And, you know, thinking about where they are sitting in the series overall now, you know, nine lies on top. So let's see if they can continue that into the rest of E-District.
01:28:07 Yeah, we got one more game on E-District before we make that transition over to Broken Moon. We see some teams have a lot more difficult of a rotate getting through some of the chokes over by Broken Moon. A lot more open space. You're more prone to getting peppered from afar between the 33s and the G7s that we see when Monsoon's in the lobby. You have to consider the snipers in his hand too. So maybe looking to see if you could try to wrap up one final really good game here on E-District for the teams that feel a little bit uneasy about Broken Moon.
01:28:36 Yeah, and, you know, considering the POI drafts between the two maps as well, I think most teams were prioritizing eDistrict, if I recall. I guess they're sort of just saying that, you know, the POIs are a bit more balanced across Broken Moon, and therefore it's like it doesn't really matter which one you get so much, and therefore most of them are going to go with a first-round pick onto eDistrict.
01:29:05 Yeah, and looking at the Legends thus far that we've had, we had Catalyst ban game number one. Now we're going to be seeing Newcastle ban for game number three after game number two's action played out. So we get to see how that's going to play out into Newcastle not being in the mix alongside Catalyst. No way to get out of the line of sight of some of these squads here other than maybe trying to take a more rotational approach for Legends, which has been interesting too because you also take away the ability to get that bunker down that we see some squads now utilize the Watson for too.
01:29:34 Ja, Watton kommt in, ich denke ein bisschen weniger, in Nordamerika. Wir sahen viel mehr Watton in EMEA, das ist lustig, wenn man denkt, dass all die zurückgekehrt, EMEA waren prioritisiert das Spielstil, um, als weit nach ALGS existiert. So, Back-to-Back-Dubs da, for 9 Lies. Awesome to see that from them.
01:30:02 Um, but yeah, uh, certainly leaning more on the rampart here in North America. Isn't that great to see how the different types of play styles across so many different regions have varied with these Legend Bands too. Rather, we see the Ash Band next, the Alter perhaps here too, going on to E-District.
01:30:21 Und die Rampart, das wirklich gut ist, dass diese Spots nicht so gut als Newcastle ist, aber es hilft, es hilft, es zu kontrollieren, mit der Tee, die in Clutch kommt. Mal wieder, das letzte Spiel auf E-District ist, und wir sagen gut, zu Newcastle.
01:30:36 Yep, Newcastle is gone. Of course, you know, a lot of the Ramparts were coming in to replace the Catalyst. So who's going to come in to replace Rampart? There's not really a one-to-one replacement for him. He does occupy quite a unique niche in Apex gameplay at the moment. You could say, you know, oh, you could put a Gibraltar in, you've got bubbles. Like, yeah, sure, but the bubble lasts for, what is it, like...
01:31:02 16 seconds or something like that um it's not a permanent fixture like you can hide behind on a new castle wall even though we've got so many damn sheilas in the lobbies that it feels like most new castle walls don't even stay up for 16 seconds
01:31:17 Man, I'm still reeling from the end of the last game, Gino. I'm not gonna lie. Like, that one HP difference was so insane. I mean, those are the best moments, too, when you clutch out your own Apex match, your hands start shaking, your heart is beating out of your chest, and you're just ready to go in and ready up for the next one. It's great to see these mine lies. I mean, with the back-to-back, they're ready to try to see if they can secure maybe a third one here, but we have to look first out.
01:31:40 Purple Slushie. They were farming the lobby in our last game. 19 total kills for them. And now we get to see a little bit of a different look. We have the Lifeline Fuse and Ash.
01:31:57 Lifeline for Purple Slushie. Okay, they say. Alright, you take Newcastle away. We are going to try out something completely different. And yeah, as MG Clutch was telling us earlier in the day, there's very few forms of fully destructible cover in the game.
01:32:21 And it's funny because, you know, Lifeline's Care Package, which obviously isn't in the game anymore, was previously one of those. And you'd see people occasionally try and like block people into buildings by calling the Lifeline Package down in front of the door to block them in. But now it's Lifeline's Halo. The new Ultimate that replaced the old one is one of the ones that can't get removed by.
01:32:44 Crypto, even though we're not seeing as many cryptos in this lobby. But yeah, also the fact that it's just such a good reset tool. You just threw me all the way back. I remember those breathing plays out here. Maybe you could use a Moby instead now. It's kind of like that makeshift cover. But now you get to see Panic try to chase down Phony. He gets the frag, he gets the dash. And this is why Ash is so scary to deal with. Phony can't even get away. He gets picked off by Panic.
01:33:11 Not gonna let the opportunity pass him by. And they even have that next circle information, as you also saw in the map overhead, where this zone's gonna be pulling. One of Tiz's favorite that she had highlighted from the beginning, a zone that we've actually seen twice within EMEA earlier today. Looks like it's pulling close to City Hall. Nuts.
01:33:31 I can't believe that we got a glimpse of something different for once and then we just immediately restart the lobby. Oh, it's not going city hall better press the reset button
01:33:43 It benefits the squads that are going to be able to already hang out here. 100 Thieves already bunkered down. Team Orkid already going to be able to get that information off the survey if they were able to get that there too before moving up. Shopify over all the way in the back where they have a ring console. Complexity and some trouble though. Kimchi gets deleted. Doesn't have the opportunity to put down that barrier in time before Yanya slides in to get that pick.
01:34:12 ...hunting for the rest. They do! They find the Monsoon just hanging out here. And NRG hoping to finish off the rest of Complexity. But it looks like they've already scarpered. They've made their way all the way to Old Town. You can see Funk is well up in the distance right there. And he should be able to grab a race set. There is a crafter over at Old Town.
01:34:41 Ich glaube, die Zeit ist gut. Ich habe noch mehr Fuse, hier. Ich habe es in der letzten Spiel, aber ich habe es wieder gesehen, hier für die Nummer drei. Die 30-30-30-Shots kommen in von Zack Mazur. Der Triple-Take-Though, der hinter ihm ist, ist er zu werden, dass er durch seine Shields wird.
01:34:59 Und hier geht's weiter. Das ist warum Alter ist so gut. Probable zu sehen, Alter ist die nächste Legend-Band hier für E-District. Das funktioniert nicht wirklich auf Broken Moon, wie wir sehen auf E-District sind. Nice, Nate hier, doch. Und hier geht's. Du kannst ihn in, aber es macht ihn in, aber es macht ihn in, aber es macht ihn in, aber es macht ihn in, aber es macht ihn in. Oh, ja, das ist die Frage, ich glaube. Furia ist hinter den Rampart Walls und Madness.
01:35:28 The P2... P250s? Nope, that's a different game. P2020s here. They're so good at cutting through shields. And you can see that, you know, even though he's only got a second, no troubles whatsoever getting the full kills there. But yeah, as you say, Crypto Altar with 17 picks so far. 85% pick right here on E-District.
01:35:54 Ich wollte sagen, ich dachte, du hattest uns mit den P40, so das ist was ich sagen, aber ich weiß, dass du das bei jedem Spieler in der Lobby bist. Ich werde das Rez bekommen hier.
01:36:06 Das ist ein Reset, zu. Sie ist auf der Highground. Looking at SCCP in der Distance. Korinthian ist nicht mehr zu geben, aber auch die Team, die Hände zu halten. Das ist eine andere Sache, die E-District Genome ist, dass es so viele Open-Windows gibt, so viele verschiedene Angler, dass man mit der Time-to-Kill so schnell ist, dass man jetzt so schnell sieht, dass ihr Schild burnet vor ihr Augen. Ja.
01:36:33 Und die buffen zu den 30-30, als auch. Wir haben das in den Takedown viele Menschen gesehen. Ich glaube, ein Fully Charged Headshot mit 30-30 jetzt macht das so etwas wie 110-ish dämlich. Es ist verrückt. Du kannst mehr als ein BAT mit nur den Öffnen. Die Pangs von Fury machen sie jetzt.
01:37:04 Wanted to prioritize maybe getting zone information here because nobody is in Neon Square at the moment. So that leaves open a ring console for them to hit. And after listening into furious comms in the last game, we know that that is something within their priority when they do rotate over through Neon Square distance. I do believe that was Leak No Witness behind a rampart barrier that we're taking shots at them as well.
01:37:28 There you go. Here's the overhead where the zone is going to be pulling to the north side. And Genome, look how many teams have already found their space in that northern zone. They called it out very early on, too, being able to have that ring console, allowing them to share some of the space that we're going to see so many other squads do the same thing. Whereas you have LG, ACP, Complexity, NRG, even you could say nice guys. They have the opportunity to go through the northern choke away from Furia instead of trying to completely commit to the rotate through Furia side.
01:37:57 Das heißt, es gibt einen Punkt, wenn sie können, wenn sie nur eine Evo-Harvester haben, um die Evo-Shield zu verbessern. Und Nightsguys sind eine der drei Teams, die nicht mehr zu haben, haben sie zu Alter. So, ja, sie müssen sie über die Chokes haben, aber jetzt sieht man wie sie über Furia, als sie vielleicht beherrscht.
01:38:18 Ja, und sure, Cody hat nicht den Sling, aber er hat die Rampage in seinem Hand.
01:38:45 Infinite ammo, of course, during the Ballistic ult. Means he can fire it without fear. Anyway, they got the one kill onto Madness. Complexity did get the reset and the respawns during that time.
01:39:03 they could potentially be next to run into furia and I guess another thing we should mention is with the the double win by nine lies they need to win one more and they actually get a bonus point which could be important right cuz at the end of this week Vicky however many points you're getting in pro league
01:39:26 Even across all of the other regions as well determines your seeding for the ALGS Open. That's absolutely huge. So it's more than what these teams are doing within Pro League that could affect their placement and their positioning within the Open. So also getting word here from Production that Na'Vi had achieved two bonus points last week by winning those three plus matches in a row. So bonus points being added right back here for this year of ALGS.
01:39:54 Ja, sie existen. Sie haben einen Bonus Point für die drei Wins und dann haben sie einen Bonus Point für die 50-Jährigen vorhanden von der 2nd-Jährigen. Und das ist eigentlich der Harder-Jährigen. Ein paar Teams aus der Geschichte der Pro-League haben zu bekommen drei Wins in einem Tag.
01:40:15 Aber nur noch ein oder zwei anderen. Ich weiß, Reignite hat das in APEC-South gemacht, als sie wirklich schrägten die Region, bevor sie zu N.A. haben. Es gab nur zwei oder drei Teams, die überhaupt nicht geschafft haben. Ja, sie war das Lobby auch. Talk about Navi, eigentlich. Ja, ja, ja.
01:40:37 Very difficult to achieve, but getting those three wins in a row is definitely the other flex here. In a lobby like this in America, Complexity with Funk looking ahead. 30-30, though, gets beamed, having to back away. Looks like there's a player right there. Okay, we're going to get away, actually, right now. That was his teammate. Complexity is going to be rotating over to the southwest side of this next zone. Nobody's going to be meeting them on the choke, so as long as they keep rotating right now in terms of timing, they should be fine. They won't have any path of resistance.
01:41:09 So Zone closes in, they go for the choke, NRG looks like they're going for the more southern choke, and they should both make their way into Zone safely. So 20 squads still alive, Zone 3, wouldn't see that in scrims, would ya?
01:41:28 I mean, with the amount of teams that we're seeing out here, too, when we watched EMEA within E-District, so many squads still alive. And look at where this zone is pulling. On the outskirts is the Mythic Bin, where ACP is by. And Furia have been able to get that reset, too, with Madness coming back. Look at this with Corinthians now, also rotating from the south side here. They'll have a little bit of advantage over by that Survey Beacon, too. And so many squads are going to be able to coexist in some of these buildings.
01:41:57 Oh, they'll have to, won't they? Because that's exactly where the ring is going to pull. Once again, it goes down to that sort of middle slash, you know, southeast part of City Hall.
01:42:09 Shopify ist ein bisschen zu far north. Aber die Late Rotating-Teams, Kompelski und NRG, NRG speziell, könnte vielleicht nur ein Slam für Godspot und versuchen, einen Ugly-Fight, aber es könnte sie eine gute Position geben. Oh, Leave-No-Witness. Sie haben die Portal-Nexus, und sie werden die Rez bekommen. Das ist die Clutch-Faktor. Sie haben die Alter.
01:42:36 Es hilft, es hilft, die Fondation aus der Squad. Die Wittes werden versuchen, das Reset zu retten. Und im Laufe der Fighting hat es nicht zu stoppen. Multiple Angle, bei der Wettbewerb, von dieser Next Zone. Complexity. Jetzt, die Knock auf die RK. Und sie repositionen, um die Alter-Q zu kommen. Die EMP, von Afar. Probierst sie zu helfen, um diese extra Pressure zu stave. Und dann, die Next Knock auf die Empyre. Und jetzt, wie viele Teams hier sind. Es war die Empyre, Nice Guys, Envy hier, auch.
01:43:05 Yeah, Empire don't want any more of that, so they'll take the Void Nexus and head back north. As you can see, Deflexity have the option to follow after them, though it is quite risky pulling off that maneuver. So instead, they'll just have a look over here, see if they can see where Empire ended up and potentially take an Evac to a zone.
01:43:31 Oh, he's heading up the portal, though. Be careful. Right behind Envy. Sends out the nades. The EMP comes out. Forces Pedicute nade onto Pedic. Having to be careful, he didn't have the Q to get away. He was on a one-second cooldown next. Leave no witness at the resetting in another bad situation. Okay, tries to find his way underneath. He's going to be fighting for their lives behind this amp cover. I mean, yeah, it's a nice little, uh...
01:44:00 Spot recognition there, finding that spot in the sewer where I guess nothing but altar is going to be able to get in and on your back.
01:44:11 Looks like they're still alive too in the feed. Meanwhile, the other fight here over from Complexity. This is where there's like five teams piled up on top of each other. Shopify, Complexity, Empire, Nine Lives, and Monsoon can't land these 940s, these P40s rather. And Shopify Rebellion as well are able to clean up what was left of them. They come right back in the portal. Nexus tried to see if they could get this res onto Koi while looking at the squads ahead of them. Because again, there were so many other teams within the vicinity. With him coming right back to the rest of the squad, Empire.
01:44:40 sind nicht in der Portal. Und sie werden alle able zu Reset hier mit 9-Lives isolieren sie auf ihren eigenen Bildung. Oh, Leib no witness. Jetzt das Glas ist weg, es ist all zu easy für Envy zu nehmen. Aber Sykes, komm, mate, get out of the Death Box. Your teammates are being knocked. Need some help out here. Fury now slide in. Knocked, gets the following knock.
01:45:08 Oh no!
01:45:31 Und du siehst du das jetzt, wenn sie ein Voidnexus jetzt in der Mitte ist, werden sie nicht unbedingt für Kills gehen. Sie werden die Voidnexus in der Hoffnung, dass die Team Portale zurückkommt. Sie wissen, dass sie in Dire Straits sind, wenn sie zurückkommt. Und sie bekommen 3 Kills, wenn das der Fall ist. Und das ist das, was wir sehen. Wir sehen uns jetzt, dass ACP ist. Der Squad war auf dem, jetzt überlooking Korinthians.
01:45:58 Können Sie in sein. Nice, guys, get eliminated in your feed. On top of that Motherlobe, that is ACPs, helping them out here, putting some extra pressure and building up that space. But the Alter Queue, once again, allows them to reset dropping down below.
01:46:14 Shopify picked up 6 kills so far, so looking to push the KP and get further up in this lobby. FurtisPro, such a tough spot. Looking around at how many other teams are popping alts near them. Getting a reset here would be pretty special from them.
01:46:37 V.P. ist auch fixatet auf 9 Lies. Wundern für sie in der Mitte ist Fusion. V.P. wird Eliminatet. Und der Kampf hat nicht auf den Highground. Nr.G. entgegen die Freude. Sie haben ein wenig Zeit, und Yanya kommt in den Klingeln. Yanya geht ein bisschen crazy. So ist Nr.G. mit AKP.
01:47:01 Guild good as always, but yeah, yeah, yeah, it does feel like has been trying to prove a point this year
01:47:11 As they do try and work under the tutelage of Timmy. Certainly newer than most of the IGLs in this lobby. A lot of changes going around here too for Yanya. Making it work. Nine Lies losing out on McLovin. It's going to be reset with the Medkit. And Orchid are right there on top of them. Rainbow still on blue though. Looking at Fusion.
Intensive Kämpfe und strategische Manöver in E-District
01:47:35
01:47:35 We have the double red, the one blue here too. Shopify playing off that low ground of LG's building. Right on the other side of where we had seen Empire. And they're still in that next zone in the corner of that building. Goldblues is a problem though, looking at LG.
01:47:54 So many nades, so many knuckle clusters coming in. The fuses are unleashed. This is what we were expecting though, Genome. The amount of fuses that we're currently seeing from the America region is just insane with the pressure.
01:48:12 Ja, sogar die Mothlode geht um, In-Doors zu blockieren. Specter eSports geht um, Nine Lies zu leben, aber ich denke, es ist nur ein Solo für sie, also nicht die 3-P hier. No way! Grieving Vayne, die Alternative Queue?
01:48:34 Und jetzt ist er, um ihn zu verändern. Jetzt geht es um den anderen Seite. Er kann nicht weg. Er kann nicht weg. Er kann nicht aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus der Linie aus.
01:49:01 A game to hang their hat on, a game to propel them to the top of the leaderboards if they continue on this sort of trajectory. Not surprised here with their current positioning. Really the only squad that they have to consider is CTE, who are also on the high ground on the other side of that fence line, while looking at them and looking at the three different squads, four different squads rather, that are going to collapse on each other inside of this building that we currently see Shopify in.
01:49:26 Oh, beautiful Void Passage there gets Shopify to the outside. Xiongoth won't survive it though, neither will Koi. Alright, I take it back. Maybe it wasn't such a great Void Passage. Oh, no one's here for now. Hopefully no one takes the Ultra Q right in front of him. Gonna be able to pop that bat here. While Fusion are still alive, wrapping on the outerts of the building. CTE are looking to their back. They're looking at NRG, who have the high ground.
01:49:55 Trostex is holding on to dear life with the sliver of cover that the Rampart wall has.
01:50:03 Oh mein Gott, Guild repositioning. Not even using it because he's in any danger, just using it to maximize KP. That's how far ahead NRG are in this lobby. Everyone else...
01:50:32 Es ist einfach so, dass die Nrg in den Mitteln sind, und die Nrg sind so, wie sie auf die TARGET-DUMMIEN sind. Es ist einfach ein Tag hier für Nrg, um noch mehr Kills zu Ende des Nrg zu Ende des Nrg mit 119 Kp in ihren Pocken. Alle in die Lobby sind unter den Feinden, um sie zu nehmen, um den Rest des Teams zu nehmen.
01:50:58 Wow, you see that happen, you know, once or twice so far in this day in Pro League. And just a team that takes such a good position that no one else even has a chance against them, right? And as a result, they milk it for all it's worth, getting 20 kills and ending up with a 32-point game.
01:51:27 Are you kidding me the fact that we had in game number two what purple slush you get 19 now we have energy say don't worry. Don't worry. We'll top it off by one more extra kill 20 KP and the dub what a huge game 32 total points in this game alone for energy. You know sometimes when a team has God's ball when they've got high ground right other teams will start pressuring them because they know if there's a knock or something like that there's a chance that they can move back.
01:51:57 Und als Sie sehen, das ist NRG zu den Topen mit 41 Punkten. Aber in dieser Instanz, Vicky, ich denke, was alle wussten, dass es nicht möglich war, dass es keine Chance für jemanden, wirklich, zu nehmen das Spiel weg von NRG. So, sie waren alle fokussed auf den zweiten Platz, zu schießen, an den anderen, an den Team in den Bühnen und NRG, die es für free getrennt.
01:52:22 Für free. I was just sitting back watching it all. I was like, how? I'm with you, Vicky. How do we see 19 kills go to Purple Slushie in just a match prior, and then now we've got 20 kills, a third of the lobby. What is happening here tonight in the Americas region? It's not just Americas, Tiff. That's the thing. We are seeing these high-kill games across the whole ALGS, and it does seem to be a trend with...
Analyse der ALGS Year 5 Trends und Halbzeit-Gast Blinkster
01:52:51
01:52:51 Just, yeah, how Year 5 of ALGS is playing out. Well, maybe it's all the Legend Bands, maybe it's the new maps, maybe it's a bit of everything. But I'm so glad that we're kind of walking into this halfway segment now that we've finished up with E-District and some banger games. Before we get into Broken Moon, we've got some things to review because Vicky and I were casting match number two in that endgame moment. We need to play it back because you had questions, Vicky. We got to slow it down.
01:53:17 Honestly, from our point of view, it was a one-bullet difference. Look at this. Literally a one-bullet difference. I am in shock. What a way. Shout-out to production having both sides, by the way. Tiff, this was insane to look at. It's so wild because right here, Cersei is about half flesh. Then you see it go down, but honestly, I think it's an...
01:53:41 Das aktual pixel of difference that Cersei has in that moment that allows Nine Lies Esports to get the best and take the back-to-back wins. And with those bonus points in play, you never know what's going to happen. I know we saw Na'Vi last week get one.
01:53:58 Will Nine Lies be able to secure that? But honestly, we still have so much to break down. So I'm excited to get our halftime guest teed up and in here because when you know these lobbies inside and out, it's always better to get their POV. So welcome in Blink, sir. How are you today? What's up? What's up? I'm doing good. Thank you. How much are you guys?
01:54:19 Hey, same, same. Honestly, I wanted to get your thoughts on what you've seen in the Americas thus far, now that we're finished with the three E-District matches. It's pretty crazy. I mean, there's a lot of actual games, like you mentioned, but I think that's mainly just because of the new Legend bans. All the defensive characters, like Newcastle, get banned early game, and that just brings in more cast, because it's only going to be super aggro characters, like Fuse.
01:54:45 Krypto, Ballistic, und Charaktes, das haben sich überall gespielt. Das hat sich immer mehr FIGHTEN zu jedem Spiel. Teams sind einfach nur die Ecke und einfach super I-Kill-Games. Ja, das ist natürlich der Grund, warum.
01:55:05 Yeah, exactly. We were just talking about the 19 kills from Purple Slushy, 20 from NRG. But I've got to hear your thoughts. Do you think we're going to see this same trend carry into the ALGS Open on LAN? And how excited are you to compete in New Orleans?
01:55:19 Oh, definitely. I mean, like I said, the same characters, the defensive ones, gets banned, like, every game, every set, I mean, like, game one, game two, game three. So, for sure, it's going to be, like, some good team just running down the lobby every block. So, that's for sure going to happen. And I'm super excited to, like, play in the New Orleans. It's going to be, like, super nice. The new double elimination format is going to be, like, super interesting to play. And it's going to be, like, cut road for, like, a lot of teams.
01:55:49 Ich denke, wir werden viele gute Teams kommen erst mal, aber das wird noch mehr spannend sein für die viewers, ich denke. So, ja, es wird definitiv gut sein zu spielen, definitiv.
01:55:58 Well, if it's fun for you to plan, it's definitely fun for us to watch. I know Vicky and Genome are going to have a blast commentating over it. But, you know, that's not the only reason why we brought you here. You've probably seen in the prior match days, we've had this new segment with our hot takes and how spicy can they be? And honestly, I've been having a lot of fun with them. But before we hear yours, I'm going to kick it over to Genome because he's been dying to get this one out.
01:56:22 Look, I've ranted to people behind the scenes about this before, but my take is that every single map should be played in ALGS. Not at once. You know, like we're doing now, I think a rotation of two or three maps at a time is good, so teams do get proper practice on it. But teams will say, you know, oh, there's all these problems. And yet every time we introduce a map...
01:56:47 Wo haben sie gehe? Sie sind gut. Jeder arbeitet, wie sie zu spielen. Und alle Probleme, die Ziprails auf Broken Moon sind verrückt. Oh, das ist nicht ein Problem, als wir gesehen haben, als wir sehen, wenn wir die map spielen. So, persönlich, ich will sehen King's Canyon zurück in. Olympus? Oh, es ist zu open? Ich weiß nicht, Leute, es ist gut. Ich weiß nicht, dass ihr verschiedene Straten auf verschiedene Plätze macht. Das bedeutet nicht, dass es nichts...
01:57:13 Ich weiß nicht, dass die Buzzer ist, aber ich muss es über den Blinxer gehen. Obviamente, in diesen Lobbys zu spielen... Blinxer, willst du all die Mapps spielen? Du glaubst mit Genome? Ich weiß nicht, das ist das.
01:57:43 Lock it up, put it in the vault. All right, let's hear what you've got. Maybe more spicier than that, I'm hopeful. It might be a bit spicier. Might be, might be. So my take would definitely be that a lot of the pros are currently being carried by their experience rather than their skill level. A lot of the current pros are...
01:58:05 Ich bin definitiv unter-Skilled, als die neuen, upcoming Talents in der Szene. Ich glaube, die jungen Spieler sind, wie Jelly, meine Team-Mate, Panik. Es gibt ein paar neue Spieler, die super, super gut sind. A lot der alten Pro sind in der Szene, die sind komplett durch die Erfahrung. Sie sind sehr guter Spieler, aber sie sind in der Szene für ein Grund. Aber wenn es nicht aus der Szene war, dann würde ich nicht mehr da sein.
01:58:32 Das ist mein Take. Das ist mein Take. Das ist mein Take. Das ist mein Take. Das ist mein Take. Das ist mein Take. Ich weiß nicht, ob wir starten Naming Names sind. Nämlich nicht. Nämlich nicht Names. Nämlich nicht Names. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich nicht Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich.
01:58:59 Hit the social media. Let us know. Do you agree with Genome? Do you agree with Blinkster? Are pros being carried by their experience? The old guard versus the new guard kind of vibe. Honestly, I love it. But that's all we got for Hod Takes. I hope you guys love the segment. I'm enjoying this. It's much better when you're the host and you get to kind of be the unbiased opinion throughout them. But hear me out. We've got some more goods coming. We've got another segment. And I want to kind of dive in because we heard from you guys.
Diskussionen und Einblicke von Chat und Blinkster
01:59:27
01:59:27 But we want to hear from chat now, which is dangerous. I said this earlier. It's always dangerous when you give chat the open experience. And I can see it in your face, Blinkster. You're a little nervous. But this is from Panic. So I'll go ahead and let you open with this one.
01:59:41 Ich bin der beste Mechanical NNK-Player. Ich würde 0 sagen. Er hat all die Proof zu backen. Er ist in der Szene schon lange, aber er hat die Erfahrung, er hat die Skill-Level, er ist nur der Minute overall. Ich denke für heute, er ist definitiv der beste.
02:00:01 I was looking at the way you were going to word that because you were just talking about your hot take as being the pros getting carried by experience. You're like, Zero's got the experience and then you hit the skill. So I was just making sure we're still good there, but we've got two more. So let's open it up with the next chatter coming from Zaini. Question for Blinkster. What does it mean to have your brother support you through your journey?
02:00:25 Es war ein wildes Rides. Wir haben das Spiel zusammengefasst, ich glaube, in Season 9 oder Season 10. Das war das erste Mal für uns beide spielen. Ja, es war wirklich ein schwieriges Rides. Wir haben die Kumpen zusammengefasst. Wir haben die erste FC Finale zusammengefasst, beide uns, das erste Mal wir competeden. Und dann, wir haben die Bruder, wir haben nicht alles, aber es war wirklich Spaß.
02:00:53 Ich weiß, dass er jetzt aus dem Spiel ist, nach dem letzten Jahr in der Pro League. Aber ich habe ihn mit mir, mit meinen Tournamenten und alles. Das ist super Spaß. Ich bin wirklich glücklich und glücklich. Ich habe ihn mit ihm mit mir auf den sidelines. Das ist wirklich gut.
02:01:13 I love that. I really do. Honestly, family support means the most, but we do have one more. And this is, it's not, it's kind of like one of those random takes. It's just like less nerfs, more buffs. I'd rather a game be balanced because of an even amount of crazy strong options than those same options being noticeably limited from their prior state. Are we going more buffs, Blinkster? More buffs? Definitely. Definitely more buffs. Definitely more buffs. Just buff everything.
02:01:40 Ich meine, mit den Legend bans, wir können noch mehr Buffs geben. Wenn ein Charakter ist zu stark, dann die anderen bans, das ist wie es. Das ist das für die Weapons. Ich meine, P-20s, wenn man eine Nerf braucht, das ist für sicher. Bitte Nerf das Gun. Aber für alle anderen Gunn, Nerf das so alles kann sein. Und ja, wir sind definitiv auf den richtigen Platz. Definitiv, definitiv. Mehr Buffs.
02:02:02 More buffs. You heard it here. Well, Blinkster, thank you so much for taking time out of your Easter Sunday to come hang out with us on the ALGS broadcast. I wish you the best of luck down in New Orleans. I can't even say it. I'm getting cut up like Gina. I'm here. But you're going to crush it on land. Have so much fun, and we look forward to seeing you there. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Have a good night, guys.
02:02:24 Bye, guys. All right, Vicky's going to take a hot break here real quick, and then we're going to move on over to Broken Moon Genome, which was quite interesting over in the EMEA region. It's always fun. And if the action that we had witnessed over in eDistrict carries on through to Broken Moon, well, give us more of that because I am ready to get loud on the mic.
Übergang zu Broken Moon und Analyse der Legenden-Bans
02:02:48
02:02:48 Yeah, I mean, we talked about the aggressive heroes having, you know, your ballistics and cryptos and whatnot, being a part of why these teams were picking up these massive kill games. And obviously, yeah, those characters are still in, right? Having a look at the legend bans we've had so far, or even just having a look at...
02:03:09 The winners we've had so far, Nine Lives taking out two, obviously, and then NRG just eclipsing the lobby with that map three. But you can see down the bottom, the altar gets banned, as she tends to do in E-District, where she is the strongest. Ooh, you're not wrong. We had her picked 17 times in that last game, and the most popular Legend composition was an altar crypto fuse. So now that she's out of it for Broken Moon, I was curious.
02:03:39 Was this what we were witnessing? Alter went fourth out in match day one for the Americas and actually did not get banned in match day number two as we start to look through our Broken Moon POI draft. Corinthians going over to Solar Pods. Hey, remember where we had all the zones in Broken Moon today? Over by Stasis, the large majority of them. So I'm looking for teams like Complexity, Nine Lies. Yet again, what is happening for Nine Lies in these rotations?
02:04:08 Ja, es könnte ein Vorteil für sie. Auch bei Shopify-Rebellion sind in Stasis. Dann wieder einmal, wenn ich Watchfighting 8-Pack-South war, haben wir viele Teraformer Bionomics-Zonen. Das könnte Teams wie Leave-No-Witness sein.
02:04:30 actually really true as we finally move in to match number four for broken moon a good look at the divide here for nrg after their massive game win in match number three for 32 points can they run it back will we see more northern zones on broken moon or do we get the terraformer vibes but
02:04:49 To be in first place with 41 points and just a couple points shy is our second place team. I feel like if you really want to put your stamp on it, it has to be in this initial match.
02:05:04 No better way to start it off than with a couple of dubs. But yeah, the fact that they've got two wins and they're not first is a little ridiculous. Slightly. I mean, come on. Nine lives with 19 KUP in match number. I believe that was two. Then NRG here grabbing 20 with the win. That's just insane, whichever way you look at it. And if we're going to carry forward that trend, then let's go ahead and look at where we're headed towards. The north it is.
02:05:33 Are we actually going to go all the way up to Break-A-Warp? Oh, I like this. I like this. Break-A-Warp brings out some really fun endgames, right? And I'm kind of glad that Ash is still in at this point because...
02:05:48 um you know depending on where it finishes up with breaker wharf there's like that big gulf in the middle and it's kind of the perfect distance if you're an ash player um to be able to port to from one side to the other because otherwise we'd just be sort of you know filling that pit with dead bodies
Frühe Rotationen und Konfrontationen auf Broken Moon
02:06:03
02:06:03 Das stimmt, eigentlich. Das ist der erste Matchday in Amerika, wo wir nicht hatten Ashe, B-Band, in den ersten drei Spielen. So, still haben alle die Bewegung, die sie für die Leute, die Leute, die spielen hier an Broken Moon, plus all die Zip Lines, die du erwähnt, in deinem Hot Take. Es ist FURIA looking zu kommen, das Initial Rotate. Now, sie kommen in Richtung der westen Seite der 2nd Zone, die ist gut. Sie haben über die Alphabase, die ist wo Nine Lies lands.
02:06:32 So we'll get information. However, through the evac, we go trying to get all the way towards the Northeast.
02:06:42 Very nice. And that's the one I was talking about in the previous series, right? Where you get on the top of those buildings, pop the evac, and all of a sudden there are some rotations that open up you wouldn't otherwise be able to make. But it does allow Furia to get into Breaker Wharf very, very early. Oh, wow. Even grabbing that Evo Harvester before the area gets so congested that, you know, you can't pick that up.
02:07:11 Oh my. Oh my RKN. The cutaway. The cutaway. They didn't want us to see what just happened to RKN, but we're back and Furia still trying to close the distance here. This time drone vision, the CCTV vibes. And it's Kion here with a triple take. One more. Do we need it? Vayne going down from Nine Lies and Shopify looking to set up shop here with MT transitioning onto that Watson.
02:07:35 Yeah, I thought that might be the third member of Nice Guys going down there, but apparently not. Looks like Nine Lies have had a rough start to our game four here. Not what you want if you were hunting for the bonus points. We saw Navi get them because they won three initial matches and hit triple digits, but Nice Guys going on out. And when you think about where they start on Broken Moon to fall this early on.
02:08:03 Knowing that it's coming to Breaker, sometimes that's that curse of the zone coming to your drop spot. Yeah, that's tough. Knocked. Knocked, I don't think he was expecting to see McLovin there. Oh no, the punishment is real, finally expending out that ultimate just to get to the top if we can. And McLovin says, no bro, I'm still going to keep shooting you, trying to see if we can pick that one up. But we have regained back.
02:08:29 with our crew there in McLovin still by himself down on the ground. Can he get a reset? Get some of his teammates back in.
02:08:40 Will SES be able to get any sort of reset with 100 Thieves on their back? That's definitely not a team that you want to be fighting with the amount of confidence that they're going to have in themselves after that last game. No one is going to get the better of these guys in a straight up 3v3 right now. Definitely not. I mean, they're feeling pretty aggressive. We've seen what they can do. Phony's got the Sentinel in the back pocket and breaking out the Wraith. I mean, they started at...
02:09:08 So we're talking over by Production Yard, a heck of a rotation to get situated up near Breaker Wharf, maybe kind of dead center-ish of that Zone 2 initially, where you still have teams that are on the southern side. Virtus Pro, Corinthians. It's not going to be isolated because people are still working their way north. So don't get too cozy here and don't let this draw out. Virtus Pro.
02:09:37 ...having to remember how to make a rotation. Because, of course, last week rotations, you know, just weren't required. They just sat on their hands and enjoyed that the KP came straight to them. So a little bit of a different playstyle out of the North Americans this week. Oh, nice. They do grab that first knock onto Kings. And this could open up a couple of KP for Virtus.pro on the southern side of the map.
Kämpfe um Positionen und Ressourcen auf Broken Moon
02:10:04
02:10:04 Well Spectre esports gonna go ahead and hit a res on one of their teammates trying to get back to full numbers mon soon going rogue With a charge rifle elsewhere, but after that initial knock it looks like VP is gonna drop some things and maybe try to rotate ahead of Corinthians no Reset available for nine lies esports. They will fall in the 19th place
02:10:26 Januari, just playing spoiler to people, just going rogue and finding solos, winning 1v1s after being chased down. I see you, Januari. Yeah, look, talking about chased down, 100 Thieves have popped the Tempest right now, and that's one of those abilities that makes it extremely hard to get away as Phony doubles up on the Sentinel, and they get the finish as well. Phony first to reach purple here on 100 Thieves.
02:10:56 Kind of disgusting. There's something so satisfying when you witness like back-to-back shots connecting with the Sentinel and how quick it can be, especially with that slight speed boost from the Ballistic Ultimate. But an update on where that circle is pulling towards complexity on that backside Spectre in Unleashed, kind of holding down that line of Ring 3. But you can kind of see the update of where Virtus.pro is rotated around Corinthians and now Empire as well.
02:11:24 Ja, kind of split at the moment. Hopefully they pull back up in time before Empire can take advantage of that.
02:11:34 But with the Ring 2 Countdown on the way, they should have time to take this fight and then maybe head up towards Eternal Gardens where LG is sitting at the moment. Oh, well, keep on moving. I see Leave No Witness hitting an Evac out of the Divide. Here is that Empire moving towards me. Wait, are they ratting them? Oh, they're ratting.
02:11:55 Knowledge comes out with an EMP, and Riley down at the hands of Zack Mazur, locking it on the Bangalore. Here comes the Ultimate. LOTR just ahead of them. We've seen the distance of what P2020s can do, and sure, you can try to retrace yourselves back away from VP, but Zack, look, he's trying to have momentum right now, not moments.
02:12:17 Ja, war das das die Empire Bang-Alt oder war das Zack Maze's? Also, ja, ja, das ist ja, was das Zack's. Ja, das ist ja, was das Zack's. Unless beide der Bang-Altz da, ich glaube. Aber es hat ja, die V.P. zu disengagen ein bisschen. So, ja, die 1 K.P. Aber, ja, ich hoffe, dass du immer mehr als das hast. Da wir gehen! Das geht um, um, um, um, um.
02:12:44 We get rid of Empire. We get the KP we wanted. But I was going to say, if we don't get that, we did use a lot of resources and time because that was Zack's Bangalore Ultimate. So we'll check in with some other teams. They've still got a bit to go when it comes to getting up towards the northeastern side of things. You can see here January on your side. Envy, top three finish in match day number one, currently situated in 10.
02:13:14 10th place. They still have this game and two more to go if they want to make a play to get back into the top three. Yeah, with such a great placement in day one, they were definitely one of the teams who was looking to be on top of Pro League and get one of those top seeds for New Orleans that we talked about. But they'll have to change their fortunes here on Broken Moon if that is to be the case, because the 10th place might not necessarily put them on top of the pack.
02:13:45 Okay. A lot of breakdowns here as we kind of keep on moving on the south side of things. Naughty Shubi just there. Leave No Witness moves right on in underneath. And I wouldn't be surprised if they're just looking to get access to this evac so they can keep on rotating ahead. It's not going to be easy. Panic here. Trying to make a play here on Shubi with a dash down the behind. And now can we get the bat off in time? Renna has the R9. You've got Sauce and Naughty down.
02:14:13 Just a couple fools. Honestly, if I'm LG, I just want to see if I can get out. Survive.
02:14:25 Well respect to esports also trying to survive and they'll use one of their ultimates Dashboard comes out there to get them to safety And actually further into the next zone, so that's not too bad and be actually get finished off by Pluto there So yet another game that'll see them probably slip down past their position in the middle of the pack at the moment They're just
02:14:52 I'm gonna have the VOD review them later, because I feel like they're making some really interesting calls and some solid playthroughs on those calls. So, good move for them to take out Envy.
02:15:03 And kind of isolate themselves on that eastern side. A good update on where we're moving. Corinthians are going to have to kind of go through that choke. But you also have CTE there. But that's where Purple Slushie is on the next side of things. Virtus Pro down there on the south. Alongside Leave No Witness. Who get access to the Mythic Bin in Eternal Gardens. And in Complexity. Honestly, I think they're just. They've been there since the dawn of match number four. We're camping. We're making s'mores together. We're living.
02:15:32 The thing that really jumps out to me about this map here, Tiff, is that most teams are very well aware of where the zone's heading, but not many of them are going there. And that's because the buildings in Breaker Wharf are so open. This isn't Skyhawk, right? You can't just cram 18 teams in here and all have some level of safety. They're more open. They're more sort of warehouse-y buildings. And you actually see teams, you know, Shopify Rebellion will be firing shots across.
02:16:01 Furia and Team Orchid. And there's just lots of options to trade damage there. So you can't actually fit all that many teams into those buildings despite their size.
02:16:13 Hmm. Well, Virtus.pro here, down on the south side of things. You can see Lou actually getting closer. I believe this is the rat from LG. Shubi on the other side, likely trying to hit a replicator. Not going to get there. Down and out, and Lou is officially your new kill leader at 3KOP alone just for themselves. So a regain coming through for Virtus.pro as we move on to Broken Moon. Yeah, look, I might have been, you know,
02:16:42 Ich war nur halb-Meming vor, als wir darüber gesprochen haben, wie giftig sie mit den Zonen waren. Aber ehrlich gesagt, die anderen halbieren, ich könnte sagen, zu Lue. Das ist in Phänomenal Form jetzt. Und jederzeit, wenn man ihn in einem Kampf sieht, er ist in Arbeit. Gotta put in die Arbeit. Gotta put in die Arbeit. Gotta put in die Dedication, die Zeit. Und ehrlich gesagt, sie sind ein sehr guter Team, um Tabs zu halten hier in Amerika, in Corinthians.
02:17:09 On your screen, down below the building, curious to see if we're going to make this push onto Purple Slushie and how you're going to open it up. You have the Motherload, you have Knuckle Clusters, you've already invested your last one straight into the building, but you hype up VP and look what happens on the rotate, getting held out through the fire, through the flames, down and out in 15th place.
Strategische Spielzüge und Eliminierungen in den späteren Phasen
02:17:30
02:17:30 GG, wir sind zu hart. 100 Thieves haben wir, wir haben noch ein paar Kills auf andere Gatekeeping-Positions gespielt von dieser kleinen Haus hier. Wir haben noch ein paar Worte. Wir waren die V.P. durch die Fire und die Flames da. Aber sie haben sich tatsächlich auf... Was haben sie denn? 7 Kills in diesem Spiel zu backen.
02:17:53 The 20 that they had last time, and we're not even halfway through eliminating the lobby right now. So 100 Thieves, it'll be tough for them to make this next rotation, actually. That's the critical part of the game for them. But you can see Purple Slushie are going to be fighting the similar sort of positions. The difference is that they've got this Wraith Portal going in a little earlier.
02:18:18 Well, I mean, you're definitely getting eyed out, but at least you make it back. We set up shop and we really try to just defend the other side of the portal and stake the claim. There's that slow list of bringing out the Sheila on the other side. Wraith 101, someone's always watching the other side of your portal.
02:18:40 Ja, genau. Ich meine, diese Spieler wissen, dass es eine bestimmte Orientierung wird, dass du aus dem Portal kommst, so du kannst dich einfach hinter dir, und besonders wenn es, wenn es N.A., es ist ziemlich schwer zu machen, um die 180 zu machen, um die Spieler zu einem klip dich. Ich meine, Tony, eine absolute Menace hier auf den Sentinels. 6 Kills, alone. Trying to keep an eye...
02:19:05 Ja, wir waren darüber, wie sie waren, über das ...
02:19:27 ... ... ... ... ...
02:19:49 Das ist so nicht gut für sie.
02:20:10 Still in play for Broken Moon is going to assist a lot of our teams. So keep an eye on ACP because I can only imagine the moment this circle starts encroaching down into that size is everyone's going to be hitting their rotations at the exact same time. ACP is kind of already trying to put those feelers, which they ripped that positioning away from Complexity at this point. You're just trying to get as many placement points as possible because you're inside the top 10 overall. Yep.
02:20:37 So five teams inside this building. NRG first to move. Now that we've sort of flipped the coin on whether the zone was going to go towards the left or the right of Breaker Wharf. Shopify Rebellion need to follow suit at some point. They've only got one Ash TP. Koifal hasn't managed to get Purples yet. And that means you don't have the option of repositioning. You just get one chance. The timing.
02:21:06 On that Jenny coming down, the two nades that it's protecting you from. Even the ultimates from Bangalore that are being thrown around, getting that early space. Sure, it's not akin to having that Newcastle that was banned early on, but it's the best we've got. And Fusion here gonna try their hand at a rotation. Dan down and out will have to crawl through. Complexity is gonna be found out. Gives Kim Chi ratting, and Shopify Rebellion grabs that kill for ACP, who's still staked out on the roof. Just...
02:21:36 Oh my, and the Jenny's down, so keep an eye out because you have Zainu who pops
02:22:03 der Ultimate zu gehen, in die open arms von NRG zu gehen. Es ist Timmy, die zu becrediten mit den Kills. Schöpfer5 Rebellion ist, als wenn NRG nicht mehr Kills haben, nach dem 20-Kill Game 3 zu gehen. Aber es ist nicht vorbei. Specter E-Sports in die Top 5. Wir haben einen Moment von Reprieve, um ihre Shields wieder aufzunehmen.
02:22:32 Position formerly held by Shopify Rebellion. I think it was probably the EMP that came in and destroyed most of the, you know, the pylons and everything else that they had set up that sort of spelled the end for them in this game. Spectre Esports, they were playing a choke down to the south. They were the only ones in that position and that has actually given them a reasonable amount of the zone. But as you can see with teams up top, they're gonna get focused out. They're probably just gonna have to hug the wall.
02:22:59 ...on the low ground, once the circle starts moving in. Just trying to keep apprised of all the angles. At least in Melko Cluster, straight towards Yanya, but there's not much you can do about it, and... ...for the time being, what is our next playthrough? Are we looking for the fence line? Because you're gonna have to contend with NRG as they move out of that building, and likely straight towards Spectre Esports.
02:23:30 Solo von Furia all the way in No Man's Land. Hopefully no one spots them out. Actually, what's the Furia player? No, it's an Ash. I was wondering if it was maybe an Invis Crypto. That'd be formed for Furia, but no. Here we go.
02:23:47 ACP gets ahead of NRG, leaving the building. Here comes the nade spam, seeing if we can connect. Awoke loses the shield. I hear everything cracking, burning all around with the Thermites, but so far no knocks. It's actually knocked on the opposing side. Gonna crawl and try to play for those placement points while everyone breaks out. ACP contending here with NRG and Spectre also equally providing that pressure.
02:24:12 Four teams left now. ACP have tried to weather the storm, but I don't know how much more of this bad weather they can take. How are we even okay here? Spectre Esports does what they do. They take down NRG. Fury has fallen, and now with Spectre, all three alive can just clean it up. Take down ACP, take down NRG, and you get the first win here in game number four on Broken Moon.
02:24:43 Solid dub there from Spectre Esports. I was sort of watching them creep up from the south side of the map and wondering if they really had what it took to take that one out. Luckily, not too many teams are worried about that south side of the zone when they're milling in and around the building. There was just a bit too much going on there. Spectre, they convert.
02:25:10 It just goes to show you how good that spot was that Shopify Rebellion had positioned themselves in as we pull up the match results. Shopify takes that initial space, goes out in 6th place with 8 kills. Spectre moves in just after them. 9 KP, 12 placement points because of the dub in a 21 point game. Now, despite Furia being a solo in the endgame, they had 1 KP, but the 7 placement points alone?
02:25:35 Pretty solid. That's what we like to salvage out of a game like that. 100 Thieves get 9 kills. Oh, actually, I think I might have mixed them and NRG up before, getting Timmy's old and new Orgs mixed up. But anyway, we've got Spectre here as we look at our top 3, taking it out with a solid 21.9 kills on top of their placements. I mean, look at these stats.
02:26:04 Es ist toll. Wir haben die 1,800-Damage und die 1,500-Damage. Das sind die Hauptsache für mich, für bestimmte Spieler auf ACP und Spectre E-Sports.
Serienstände und Ausblick auf die finalen Spiele
02:26:1502:26:15 Um, relatable. Let's go ahead and pull towards the series results and kind of set the stakes before we move into the final two matches of the day. Incredibly close. NRG, after that 32-point game, still situated at the top, 49 points, but just eight behind them. Shopify Rebellion. It really makes you think, had they been able to move into the position they were up towards Breaker Wharf in the right timing of the endgame?
02:26:42 We could have seen them potentially being at the top of the leaderboard. But instead, two more games, Gina, more Broken Moon action to go. And quite frankly, it's still anyone's game here on match day number three in America. So let's cut to a quick break. And when we come back, the final two matches before ALGS open in NOLA.
02:27:20 In my name, I shall descend upon this world and bestow upon it my body. What offerings do you bring, thy beautiful vestige? I demand they be sharp and explosionized.
02:27:46 Das ist ziemlich die Szene für mich, nicht in es zu sein. Was ist das? Diese Kampf für mich.
Spectre Esports gewinnt auf Broken Moon und die Legenden-Bans
02:28:55
02:28:55 Esports gets that dub for our match for our first map too on Broken Moon Genome and it's great to see more teams now showing up because Spectre Esports I believe also lands Quarantine Zone so they were able to make that quick rotate from the middle part of the map over to that northeast side. Yeah, that's actually interesting because Quarantine is hard to loot quickly, right? There's an incredible amount of loot in there. You could probably have three bloody teams to get in there.
02:29:24 um pick up all that loot but um if you can be disciplined uh and just pick it up then there is a chance for you um to rotate wherever you want because it obviously is such a central poi yeah why don't we actually look at the final zone and how that all played out we saw a lot of these teams split up on each end of edge of the zone but especially the squads that were able to coexist in these zones here for the very end
02:29:49 Es war ein vieles, ja, zwischen den Teams auf dem Topen, die die anderen Teams zu spielen waren. Und dann, ja, es ist wie Shopify Rebellion, die zu leben, nachdem sie ihre Haus verletzten, durch die Vagrant Krypto-Drones war. Und dann ist es Spectre E-Sports, die in den Momenten zu kommen.
02:30:13 Wobei die anderen Teams nicht wirklich zu sehen können. Ich meine, Gott, die Anzahl der Fuse-Altz geöffnet wurde. Wer war das hier? ACP auf den Stairs hatte eigentlich keine Chance. Es gab sehr wenig Schmerz von Gunn. Es war nur von Fuse-Altz, Knuckle Clusters, Grenades. Das macht die größte, die Bulk von der Arbeit, die Eliminating dem.
02:30:34 Honestly, seeing this Southern Breaker Worf endzone was crazy too. A nice little refresher here for Broken Moon before Spectre was able to take it. While we take a look at the map schedule, we got two more games to go for the Americas Groups B versus C. And again, we are moving on to game number five where we don't see Ash anymore because Ash was the tiebreaker here for Match 4. I believe it was tied between Ash and Crypto.
02:31:00 Yeah, 14 picks for each of those. So that does say it's fairly likely we'll see Crypto go next. And interestingly enough, Vicky, we're going to have this, if that happens, Crypto gets banned after Game 5. We'll have exactly the same situation as in EMEA, where we had the top legend from each class going first. That's actually so true. We get to see a nice diverse spread out here.
02:31:27 Well, we make our way over to Broken Moon once again. Thank you, everybody, for tuning in from home. It's been a great time to witness the Legend Bands, to see a different map pool in the ALGS than we've ever seen before. It's definitely a great refresher for me, too, here, Genome, after seeing the action go down in the other region and seeing how it could play out within the Americas currently. Spectre taking our last game, but NRG stays on top with 49 points, followed by Shopify Rebellion.
Analyse von Spectre Esports und der neuen Welt der Apex-Pros
02:31:5702:31:57 Yeah, Pluto's been huge. Not someone I really had on my radar up until recently, but he's certainly making a case for him being, like Blinkster said, one of those...
02:32:21 Das ist die neue Welt der Apex-Pros.
02:32:30 Make way for some more talented players as we tune in to Spectre Esports, your winner for game number four now. Seeing the Ballistic, the Wraith and the Rampart still being able to have that rotational opportunity that the Wraith provides, you're going to be able to scan these rain consoles with the Rampart and bunker down with these Rampart barriers.
02:32:55 Das ist in Ranked, obviously, off the dropship. Hit the beacon and then get the second scan for another 200 Evo. But no, that's been patched. And now all you have to do is scan it once. You get the info. It's going to Alpha Bay.
02:33:24 So yeah, cool that we get a little bit of a different endzone here in Game 5.
02:33:32 All right, still going over to the north side, but an alpha-based zone. I feel like we've seen one of those already. And with Nine Lies hanging out here, remember Genome, they've already won two games. If they win one more, they get those extra points. So at least that one extra point. So it's very doable here with Nine Lies being able to have that circle info. Except, except they're running Fuse, Vicky. So luckily there's an Evo Harvester close by, but they do have to get that blue.
02:34:02 ... und pick die Ring Console Perk, um, you know, bevor es Zeit ist. Und FURIA hat bereits rotatiert in, so Nine Lies might just have to look at the fact that people are coming in to their POI... ... und use that as the indicator that they have to stay put.
Strategische Positionierung und Kämpfe um die Ring Console
02:34:21
02:34:21 They are rocking that Crypto Horizon and Fuse though here. So at least going to be able to get that information if they can with the Crypto before Fioria are going to be able to try to take up that POI over to the north side. But I really like hanging out in those buildings that are by the zip line over to the south side of Alpha Base here. So you have the opportunity to call it an evac if you have to, to rotate if it ends up doing that 50-50 pull, which I don't think we've seen those pulls. I've seen them way back in early Broken Moon before the changes where we've seen some end zones fall there.
02:34:50 And it's been a hard 50-50. So hanging out there by the south side also keeps your back empty with the giant rock wall behind you. So you're not going to find yourself pinched unless two teams try to take two opposite ziplines to your left and right. You have to tune into Nine Lines later while VP try to get a little aggressive here with these G7 shots, trying to rack up some more damage. You saw that Zach Major was able to get that knock onto Jay initially.
02:35:16 Ja, sie hat CTE in der Mitte zwischen Corinthians und VP.
02:35:30 Das ist ein Teil von CTE. Der Wraith ist jetzt auf den Weg. Oh, wir sehen die... Ich dachte, das Gold Weapon war da für einen Moment. Ich dachte, wo das 410 kommt? Aber natürlich, das ist die Ballistik-Alt. Obviamente, die meisten Menschen werden die Rampage bekommen. Aber ich finde, die Charge Rifle ist auch eine gute Option.
02:35:54 Ich kann das Gold-Charge-Rifle in meine Nightmares, honestly. Constantly beabing in meine Ears, aus hier von 300m aus. Ich kann das mal wiederholen, um zu pushen. Aber ACP hier auf der High-Ground.
02:36:18 Talking about some distance themselves, Dynasin, being on the fuse, 30-30 in hand, got the mother load ready to go, but it was about the fight for that ring console, or rather that survey beacon. They were able to see where the enemies are, especially Envy, who are right in front of them. They saw the scan, and they're actually just going to get ahead of the curve and try to rotate out here.
Diskussion über Waffen-Buffs und die Bedeutung der Positionierung
02:36:4002:36:40 You look I I can't say that the 3030 really needed those buffs that it got in them in season patch it is now an absolute terror The fact that you can just quickly double tap someone and you know you're on blue army you're basically dead is a little bit terrifying But you know that's the direction they were going this season
02:37:03 Lowering the time to kill making everything feel very dangerous and I guess that feeling is something that I have enjoyed
02:37:13 I do, too, honestly. It also allows you to really prioritize your positioning, right? You don't want to sleep on whoever you're against in that moment, feeling like you could just ape everything and hold forward. You have to keep in mind your positioning of where other squads are within the area, because like you said, if you get pinged twice by that 30-30, your eyes are crying from how much it hurts, so you got to try to reposition and reset. Meanwhile, VP already got to take this evac tower. You can see the pings up ahead. Lu, just trying to see if you can find somebody in the distance, and with those pings, they definitely...
02:37:42 Definitely do, and they look like they're out for blood right now.
02:37:47 Oh, no, not CTE, not CTE. They thought they saw the light of day now. Well, VP now come right back to stop them from trying to reset outside of zone. Not only that though, Gina, fighting here. No one's going to try to gatekeep them because everyone's already getting ahead over to the north side of Broken Moon. Yeah, I mean, this is a huge negative rotate here from VirtusPro just to try and grab a couple of these kills and chase Mob.
02:38:15 The second time is gonna go down. These guys have to worry about their health a little bit. Can't engage until you pop the medkit, so now Slayer goes in.
02:38:25 Finish onto Chase Mob. Knock onto Mav. And now, once again, CTE are down to a single member. I think they might have got away on the Zip Rail, though. And so that means they'll look for a second respawn and reset, while Virtus.pro have to try and make their way back into the ring. And as you can see, there's a bit of a hike ahead of them.
02:38:48 Sie wollen in Quarantine Zone. Und die Faktor, dass sie es so late ist, sie müssen sie durch jemanden wie Empire zu gehen. Ja, was es worth es hier? Sie wollten das KP, aber sie verstehen die stakes. Wir sind bereits hier in Game 5. Das ist wo viele Teams haben gesehen, wo sie sind in den standings des Lobby und CTE. Und wie Sie erwähnt, dass sie das solo get-out haben.
VP's Aggressive Edge Play and 100 Thieves' Unfortunate Early Game
02:39:09
02:39:09 They had the replicator over by Solar Pods. They haven't replicated those banners already. And VP are already on their way over to that north side of Zone. And if they decide to rotate through the east side, they won't necessarily run into Empire. But they still have to worry about Corinthians and Leave No Witness that are going to patiently be waiting on the edge. Because we also see that there were two survey beacons on the south side of Stasis Array. So we can expect other squads to try to go there in that direction. When we take a look at Envy, let's jump into a listen-in with Envy.
02:39:36 He's wanting to be the guy running hard left and fight this guy's yeah Sporting her cute way go to bills go to bills
02:40:06 We look for this solo to raise my drone from
02:40:32 We're just walking in on this top spot probably.
02:40:40 Nice Guys are the next to go.
02:41:10 mit 100 Thieves. Oh man, und das ist die schreckliche Sache. Und es ist immer so galling für die Team, die da sind. So für 100 Thieves, sie sehen, dass das Situation und dann sagen, warum würden Sie uns da pushen? Du bist sofort. Du bist sofort. Du bist sofort. Du bist sofort. Du bist sofort. Du bist sofort. Du bist sofort.
02:41:33 Play for the endgame instead of playing for three early game kills, so unfortunate for 100 Thieves, but at the same time, well, I don't know, what are you gonna do? Win the fight, I guess? Especially when they were both next to each other in the overall standing before they went, right? 100 Thieves being an 8th and that guy's being a 9th in this lobby. Leave no witness, though, after losing out on the ballistic, tough start here for the entry fight.
02:41:55 Ja, VP are bloodthirsty today. It's like they said, hey, we showed you we can play zone last week. Let's try and get some edge practice in this week. And, uh, yeah, certainly trying to...
02:42:22 Get right on top of as many teams as they possibly can here. There we go with a nice clean out. They can start looking to make a short zone wrap around to the north and probably pull up against teams like NRG. And I do have to make a no. I believe...
02:42:39 In last week's Pro League, VP had played very similarly when they were on Broken Moon, except Broken Moon was for the first three games. So when they won game two and three, they were feeling very confident. Broken Moon could just be that map for VP to find that momentum and confidence that they need here for the end part of the series. We saw that they were doing very well too, right? Because they were sitting in 10th place in the overall standings for Groups B versus C thus far. Well, we take a look at Envy.
02:43:06 Jopps being in that Crypto Drone, getting that information too. We heard it earlier on that they didn't have EMP, they definitely did have it now. See the Fuse Motherlode here too, while Zap goes right through it. It's their friendly Motherlode and they're gonna be able to... Throwing grenades like bowling balls out here, just knocking them down like so many pins. That is some nice KP coming the way of Envy.
02:43:37 Beautiful looks. Zap with a D7, though. Gonna be able to skirt away. So Veeam gonna try to find that player from behind the rock. You need to be careful, though. Right behind him was ACP. And on the other side, LG are waiting for them on the southern rotate. Getting that knock, though, is gonna be huge here for Envy.
02:44:03 Looking to try and place that evac tower. They're going to do it soon. Seven seconds until zone starts closing.
02:44:10 Und es ist noch ein bisschen weiter zu der Zone. Sie wahrscheinlich nicht brauchen ACP, die in der Zone ist, da. Sie haben drei Evac-Towers, nicht zu tun, dass sie nichts zu Chance haben. Sie haben keine Scheilers, die sie wegzunehmen. Und Envy wird die Rotation in hier, nach Teams, wie Empire. ACP wird endlich geteilt, in der Mitte dieser Rotation, während jeder in der nächsten Zone fließt.
02:44:40 Und schau mal an, mit Envy. Das ist das Risiko, dass du aufhörstst, dass du aufhörstst. Aber du wirst schon wissen, dass du aufhörstst, dass du aufhörstst. Und du hast es schnell geholfen, mit Zapf, um das Zapp zu bekommen. Kann er die Schildswap hier bekommen? Ja, er kann. Er hat die Schildswap, aber nicht. Er hat sich nicht die Schildswap, eigentlich. Er hat sich nicht die Schildswap, um es zu helfen, um es zu helfen, um es zu helfen.
02:45:03 Ja, und ich bin jetzt einfach nur hier. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie in den Zipraillen benutzen können. Aber sie sind auch auf dem Zipraillen, aber sie sind auch auf dem Zipraillen.
02:45:33 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
02:45:42 Alright.
NRG's Dominant Position and Complexity's Struggles
02:46:10
02:46:10 Timmy, he's done it. He's called the zone perfectly here and made the correct rotation all the way to the north. Complexity was sitting in those buildings for quite a while, so very similar to last game. They've just got to hope that they can repel any teams who try and take it away from them. Let's see if NRG can stack on more KP as they currently sit in first place in the lobby.
02:46:40 They are looking at everybody else in the lobby that's going to forcibly have to come to them. It is open hunting season here for NRG. Carter sending out the bang ult, trying to dip and dive behind the truck to pop this shield bat, having the Havoc in hand. And the ring's going to be able to do the same thing, but they're looking to their right with the zone closing in now. It's everybody with guns blazing, desperately trying to find their space over to this northwest side.
02:47:08 Just trying to pop a bat before they have to climb the wall and expose themselves to the trials and tribulations of the inside of Alpha Base. Carter was able to get that knock by the way with the Bangalore all onto Shopify Rebellion. So briefing them slightly and allowing Complexity to move right in. Putting in some pressure onto Shopify now has allowed Empire to make their way on the other side of that Zip. Looking at Fusion that are still inside of that zone.
02:47:36 I mean, so say. What could he do? One teammate going down. Desperately looking for a reset here. After such a great start to the day, it's been tough for nine lives in the last couple of games. Noct and Carter.
02:47:55 Relying exclusively on their teammates' knockdown shields right now. No way that Furious just trying to take this fight versus Empire. Ring around the Rosie, around any lip of cover you could build for yourself. Knockdown does not like the situation he's in. He does not like his positioning. He can hear the bait of the res. He's not going to fall for it, though. He'd rather just commit to popping this medkit. Now look around, see that they are actually trying to res.
02:48:21 Love that from Noct. And that's kept Furia alive. Luckily, none of them getting full killed, so makes resetting a lot easier as other teams are, you know, having to worry about respawning and whatnot. Fusion, only one left alive, LG, also a single rat.
02:48:50 Stoppify Rebellion, actually, quietly have been moving up the leaderboards. They've just done, you know, they haven't really indexed that hard on placement points this series, Vicky. It really has been mostly the kill points for SR, and they're in second place right now. You've got to remember, NRG have the better position.
02:49:12 Ja, sie sind. Wir highlighten Koipel mit 12 Kp, Zainu mit 10. Als Komplexity macht ihr nächst move. Mit Funk-Putten, jetzt die Wraith-Porter zu sehen, dass sie jemanden mit einem anderen zusammenkennen. Hier kommt der Rest von Komplexity. Mansoe zu geben, die sie brauchen, aber dann werden sie in der Distanz geschnitten haben. Januar von Fusion, der Solo ist, von Fusion, ist der Nail in der Coffin für Komplexity. Und sie haben dann geklagt, zwei der SR-Members in der Zeit, so...
02:49:42 Es ist nur fünf Teams in der Lovie, oder ist es sechs mit Fusion?
02:50:01 See here with Fusion still alive as a solo. Shopify, Furia, VP, NRG, they finally claimed the solo. That was January. He stays alive for as long as possible. Gotta give him credit out here with four squads now left and NRG still in the best position in this lobby. Seven points currently separating NRG and SR.
Shopify Rebellion's Victory and NRG's Second Place
02:50:24
02:50:24 NRG, wenn sie das Spiel gewinnen, wird das Wieden der Gap. Vielleicht kann man das Spiel verlassen. Es geht darum, ob sie die Kills auf den Führer und VP können, und dann auf die Zeit gehen. Weil NRG, in dem Moment, sie warten. Sie wollen nichts mehr als erstes. Sie haben die Kryptos, so sie können sie mit einem Empfangen mit einem Empfangen hier, wenn sie die Möglichkeit haben. Huge nades kommen von Slayer.
02:50:52 Finding the finishing blow on Zaccheon and getting the next knock here too. Furia in a lot of trouble. MT does not get the clutch Kraber shot here. Doesn't manage to find it, but he has found a top three here. Manages to kill the drone, that's really important. Remember, that's how they died last game. The EMP removing all of their walls, removing their pylon.
02:51:19 They have to send Furia, and you can see NRG. They've done it so well, though. Look at that. None of them go down. They haven't lost any health. They can get the shield swaps and just go for the clean 3v3 against NRG now. Oh, and Shopify then wrap up a round, and Guild were not expecting it in that moment there. NRG in trouble after you saw Zainu just pepper into them. Koiful not playing up the low ground. He climbs up onto Timmy, and Shopify from the left.
02:51:48 And take over game number five as your winners.
02:51:52 Oh, my lordy. I mean, it's very rare when you get to a final circle with three teams that the team who, you know, the team who wins the second and third fight has enough health left to take on the top team in a manner that makes it even remotely likely that they can win that fight. But those guys are just so damn good. Koifal.
02:52:19 Und Zynu, eine der besten Roller-Duos in dem Spiel. Probierlich in der Top 2. Ich kann nicht warten zu sehen, dass das Vinyl-Zone play von Shabba 5 Rebellion ist.
02:52:33 A kill-heavy squad Shopify is. Now they get the dub with 8 KP, 20 points. This sets them up on top, do you know, after we saw how close they were to NRG, or maybe at least right next to them, maybe a point difference actually after this, with NRG still securing 2nd place and 4 KP. Furial also having a fantastic game, getting 3rd place and 7 KP. And VP, we saw how kill-heavy they were, playing extremely aggressive and getting the 9 KP.
02:52:59 Very aggressive, yeah, I think they made the most of their game, considering they were so far away from where the circle was ending. And yeah, Zach Mazur himself coming out with 6kp. So, gratz on that one. Whereas we see Xionu picking up both the aggressive...
02:53:19 Und dann ist Yanya von NRG als der Warlord. Obwohl sie sich auf der Topf und ein wenig poke-damage in hat. Und als du sagst, Vicky, es ist ein 2-Horse-Race. NRG maintaine der Lead bei 1.0.
02:53:39 Wow, we still have one whole game on Broken Moon. The highlight for these two teams, though, and the biggest difference that we were highlighting to you before that Game 5 conclusion was that Shopify have not gotten a dub yet. They've been getting these kills, and now with that dub, they can ride that momentum. But NRG still with fantastic calls, Timmy finding themselves in a great position in that final zone with the rest of his team.
02:54:04 Yeah, meanwhile, there's plenty of other teams in the middle of the pack that can change their fortunes and move quite significantly up the leaderboard with just a few points if they can clutch up in this last game. With a one-point difference now, we have one more game to go here in the Americas region, and you don't want to miss it. It's coming to you on the other side of this break.
02:54:32 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
02:54:55 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
02:55:19 Das ist der Fall!
02:55:47 Das ist es ist es ist es ist
02:56:15 Das ist das ist das ist das
02:56:46 Inkeka Tau-san!
02:57:12 Take game number five. And what a series it's shaped up to be, Gina. We got one more game to go. And I have loved...
02:57:22 Yeah, look at this. Kind of insane how long.
02:57:50 This 1v1 took. But yeah, Noct does come out ahead with some sick G7 shots. But then from then on, it was really a lot about NRG and about Shopify Rebellion. And those two are pretty much the only ones that can take out this series. And I think both of them are really hankering for it, Vicky, because they did do so well last week. I mean, Shopify Rebellion picked up a 9th and NRG picked up a 12th.
02:58:18 Oh, wow. That does really go to show that it's kind of even across the board in this region right now. But to pick up a first and a second here for those two would put them...
02:58:33 Was that 25 plus say 1136? Yeah, that would actually be enough to overtake say Team Falcons, who's in 32, has 32 points right now and get closer to the top. I also love seeing the ending right there from Shopify. The double swing from two of the members of Shopify to split attention onto what's in front of them. They knew that if they took that fight head on, they were going to lose at a positional disadvantage.
02:59:01 Great comms there for Shopify as we dive into our final game of the day. With such a close overall standing leaderboard within our first top two teams, Shopify and NRG, a one point difference between the two.
Final Game on Broken Moon and Strategic Legend Bans
02:59:16
02:59:16 Yep. And as we look at our legend bans, our theorycrafting does not come to pass. So Crypto is still in. It is actually Wraith who gets banned out next. And that means we've got Crypto back in for the last game. And that means there's going to be a lot of EMP pushers coming your way. And we take those and we take our final game here over by Broken Moon. Let the EMPs ring in your ear if they come through. No more Wraith.
02:59:45 Normal portal positions as we take a look at where Shopify land here and what they've got in store for us. Because they've been the silent killers, Genome. They've been getting the KP, but they just did not get the placement until our last game.
03:00:05 Absolutely right. If we have a look at the series so far, Shopify Rebellion picked up 35 kills, and I think it's 26 placement points. So definitely skewed in favor of the kills, whereas NRG, 50-50, 31 kills, 31 placement points. Very even, and also highlights the consistency with NRG.
03:00:36 Looking at them, we're starting to make their rotate, because with the overhead on where this zone is going to be taking us, we're hanging out between underpass, it looks like, south of where 100 Thieves are going to be. There's going to be a ring console for them to access, too, if they have a Legend of Rita. They do have a Crypto, so they will, so they know exactly where that next zone is going to be pulling. Shout out to production here. Empire 2 over by Labs. Northside of Foundry is VP already making their rotate out of getting that circle console, too.
03:01:06 Yeah, NRG pulling over from the Divide. It was one of the last picked ones in our POI draft, I believe. Oh, actually, they took it at 30, which is a little bit higher than some of the other Regents. I think Tiff was talking to us before about why some of the teams, you know, weren't prioritizing that as highly as other POIs here on Broken Moon, but NRG has been making it work.
03:01:33 Now sliding down CTE, trying to take this fight. He'd be in trouble, by the way. Empire gonna be able to get that knock on Zack, but not letting go from this fight is Mav, who's gonna be able to get that knock with those P20s, or rather that one P20 here from Jay. Get two of those members now, as they're gonna be able to get the extra loot. Empire also looking to reset, still with the white Evo Shields, not having access to the Evo Harvester just yet, but this is exactly how you start things off, they're finishing off Zack Mazur.
03:02:03 Yeah, and you always want to get those last kills, but as we've seen, teams are getting much, much better at disengaging and using the crafters to respawn, right? And that kind of sucks, because you get a full team-wide bonus, but finishing the squad off, and it really counts a lot towards your evo and leveling up to purples.
03:02:26 Even worse, though, for VPs, I don't even think there's a replicator for them to work with over by the Foundry here. Hopefully they're gonna be able to get that if they can over to the north side. Looks like they were able to reset. Coming right behind Empire, while LG taking shots from the high ground.
03:02:47 So yeah, there's some more of these squads that want to prioritize their rotate. That was Unleash running away from them. Meanwhile, LG are going to go to the abandoned Terraformer because so many squads had already moved over from the east to west side of the map. They're going to be able to get that ring console over by Terraformer 2 and just play objective.
03:03:06 Plenty of teams happy to play that style, right? Playing for 3rd Beacon. Um, and then just trying, hoping that the zone wasn't too easily readable. Uh, and that they can force their way into a very good spot. Oh no. Furia. We were looking like they were coming back into the series. Sitting in 8th spot in 31 when you've got some easily obtainable places ahead of you with just a few points going at.
03:03:35 down early here would be disastrous.
03:03:40 Ich will nicht risken das hier. Sie sind in der 7-Place-Spot. Sie sind jetzt in A, mit dem Spektra und E-Sports-Wrappingen. Und wenn sie das Rotatieren wollen, LG war bei Terraformer. Sie wollten die Server-Beacon oder die Ring-Console für sie mit. Und so ist Complexity. So, das in der Distanz zu sehen, ob sie können Resetern. While NRG... ...settling in genau wo... ...wann sie die Nice-Guy, versuchen sie zu preventen.
03:04:09 With the Zone closing in, though, this is going to be a very long trek for NRG to decide whether they want to take this fight versus Nice Guys or inevitably run into either Leave No Widows or Complexity in the Zone. Yeah, so I think basically Nice Guys see that the Survey Beacon has been popped, and about turn! They're going to take a different route into the Zone. They definitely don't want to push up that hill. It's a very steep one.
03:04:31 Und NRG wird wahrscheinlich besser von ihnen. Das ist einfach für NRG, weil jeder Kill in diesem Spiel entscheidet, wenn du nur einen Punkt vorst. Das ist ein guter Punkt, wenn du Shopify-Rebellion hast. Das ist ein guter Punkt, wenn Shopify in einem besseren Spot ist. Sie sind bereits in der Mitte der Chaos-Khaos. Sie sind in der Mitte der Neck-Zone, neben Team Orchid, Envy, Purple Slushie, Fusen. Envy muss jetzt auf.
03:04:59 Nice smoke just to block out their line of sight so that way they can close and the gap followed up by the EMP from dropped. Huge nades now coming in from Zap. He'll take a little bit of that pressure, that damage from the Thermite just so that way he can keep it up here looking at the Squall that just dropped down from below but doesn't want to overexcend. It's not like they can even play the altar, right? The altar's been banned since E-District so they won't be able to come right back up as quickly utilizing that zipline.
03:05:24 Das macht es ein bisschen schwerer zu machen, ohne den Vorteil von der Void Passage zu machen. Envy was jemand, die ich an hatte, die ich an hatte, am Anfang der Tag war. Das war ein bisschen mehr, als ich erwähnte, als ich erwähnte.
03:05:44 We've got one more game to potentially make up for that. Kind of depends where this next ring pulls. They're within ring three, but it would have to be a big pullback to actually make it all the way up to underpass and where Envy is sitting.
03:06:00 NRG still outside of Zone 2. Taking their time through Eternal Guard and playing objective. CTE. Getting that finishing blow. After getting two knocks onto Orchid. Feeling themselves a bit here too. Finding some of these shots with the Flatline, the P20s. And Team Orchid just stuck in the middle of the canyon in the line of sight of three different teams is not going to end well. They get taken out of your lobby.
03:06:27 That is tough. Team Orchid go out. I mean, it was, I think, where were they on the overall leaderboard? They were sitting in 10th, so average day for them, I suppose, in their first week under the new org.
03:06:45 Trying to find their footing out here too. Being the first squad to go out though of this lobby. Difficult rotate for them while you take a look at the other teams. Energy still in that zone. Gonna have to wrap around to avoid nice guys who are gonna gatekeep them because they have a survey beacon so they can see where they're currently situated in. Same thing for Fury who were able to get the reset by the way over by Atmos Station utilizing that replicator.
03:07:08 Waiting for them on the other side. It could be complexity. Leave no witness. But my focus, though, Genome, is on that northern congestion spot. Corinthians Fusion ACP, who are blocking out that survey beacon from other teams from rotating from that north side, as well as Shopify and Purple Slushie. Yeah, Production Yard could be a bit of a flashpoint coming up soon. We see NRG in the zone at the moment. I don't.
03:07:34 I don't know if I really agree with how slow they're playing this. I don't think there's any particular reason why they should have to play that far back. Unless they were, I don't know, grabbing some extra Evo caches just to guarantee purple or something like that. But even just looking at this, there's two or three on the way into the ring. So, yeah, I don't know. They're really leaving it late.
03:07:59 Ich denke, wenn man ein Team ist, wenn man ein Team einfach nur auf dem Weg geht, dann ist es nicht möglich. Ich weiß nicht, aber wir werden sehen, ob sie einen Platz finden können, als sie in der letzten Zone haben. Obviamente, sie haben es geschafft, wenn wir nach Alpha Base haben. Diese Zone sieht aus, wie es sich eher nach Experimental Labs macht.
03:08:25 Yeah, a little bit more on that southern side of the choke, but it's still two, rather three, honestly, big chokes that teams would have to fight through, depending on where they situated themselves. Even better for the teams that are hugging that ring console and Survey Beacon. Over on the south side, where we saw earlier Empire and VP fight for Infusion, letting it rain from above with the Sheila. You got the charge rifle and the six times. Chestax is going to be able to hide right behind that amp barrier from the rampart.
03:08:53 Feeling right at home here for Trev. I mean, one of the nice things about the new Arsenals is that if you're picking up the Sniper Rifle, you can at the very least guarantee yourself a 6X. If you try and upgrade it from the Sniper Arsenal, you'll be gifted that side.
03:09:19 From that far is crazy over here. Trav just looking at the team right below him and he's getting shot at like 300 meters out. While hanging out on the high ground and looking at the teams moving in from the south side though.
03:09:34 NRG, einer der Schwab ist aus der Quarantäne-Zone. Und wieder mit dem, es wird gut sein. Sie haben die NRG's Rotate gesehen, nachdem sie die Survey-Beacon gesehen haben. Und sie werden noch eine Circle-Position-Advantage über NRG auf der Rotate.
03:09:51 Ja, und wenn sie das gut spielen können, kann man diese Däuner nutzen, die Pyramid zu halten. Und wie Sie sehen, BANG-Ult geht. Das könnte man auf die Seite des NRG-NICE-GUYS nicht aufstehen. So ja, das ist ein...
03:10:12 Defensive bang ult by NRG, just to try and see if that allows them a spot inside the zone. But Yanya goes down first. That's not a good start. Yanya wasn't a bad...
03:10:25 Das ist es für NRG.
03:10:52 Und jetzt werden wir in der nächsten Zone kommen. Ja, jetzt, remember, 9 Lies in 3rd Position sind auf 43 Punkte. Sie würden einen absoluten Banger-Games zu versuchen, zu übernehmen, 1st oder 2nd. Was das jetzt bedeutet, ist Shopify Rebellion zu gewinnen, einen Fight zu gewinnen. Wir sind jetzt auf Leave-No-Witness zu gewinnen, mit 100 Thieves.
03:11:16 LeMassipingo spielt hinter dem Nox. Der Krack-Panik ist low. Er versucht den Finishing-Panik zu bekommen. Er versucht den Finisher zu Chen Burden. Panik.
03:11:29 Das ist so ein 5-Head play.
03:11:58 Watch you didn't even try to plan that. I'm gonna give him credit cuz that's exactly what it looked like. Why else are you waiting? You're not pumping a medkit, right? Yeah, that was crazy
03:12:08 See if they can try to get that reset while Complexity having to look behind them though be careful Monsoon is 1 and here comes Furia just getting the jump but Complexity have the advantage it needs even with that EMP though they lift Complexity 1 this is definitely winnable and it is Furia was not still alive take up Complexity but good luck getting into that zone you're rolling thunder taking them out here but Furia was gonna die anyways look who was waiting for them on the edge of the zone
03:12:37 Nine lies go down as well. Oh my god, we just lost so many big teams. And what I was going to say before that fight started was Shopify only need to get to 10th place to guarantee the win. In fact, they've got to number one now. Let's tune into them and see if they're already celebrating.
03:13:04 We're just gonna have to walk in they're gonna fight over here. I think we looked a third Nobody knows we're here. We gotta care getting picked from up here. Oh, it's gonna have a little sick off of this guy. Yeah
03:13:22 I'm probably going to bang on left and probably third right if we're going to third right. We definitely third right. We should walk in, let production run out and fight you. We can probably third that. There's going to be people running in here, okay? I've got Watson Jenner as well. We're also in up there, like pretty much up there, Matt. Okay. I don't know how good it is. They're playing like over here. There should be a fight. There should be a fight here. That's got to be a solo, guys. No, no, 1030, 1030. I'm fucking Brandon. He's playing so split. I don't know. They're fighting now.
03:13:49 We can sprint in here. We can sprint in here. We're dead and let this top plus team fight them, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. It's perfect. It's perfect. Let them slide. We're gonna EMP fight. Can you find me for now? I'm so safe here. I'm gonna ult soon. Yeah. You can pop it. You can pop it. I'm running up here. I'm gonna wait a little bit. I think we filtered right now. Do you want to? I will not cry. I will not cry.
03:14:18 Ich hab ihn! Ich hab ihn! Ich hab ihn!
03:14:35 Der Passions in the comms for Shopify, great tactic right there to push onto that team with the Charger Prampage, Philistico, Unleash, Purple Slushie to their left, sending out that nade, Koiful still trying to get them to press fire.
03:15:05 The Charged Up Rampage is such a deterrent to other teams that even though they can tell Shopify is not in an ideal situation, they still don't want to take on Xiong while he's in Tempest. Now Pluto Reality, who's been putting people down all day, actually takes too much damage and gives Shopify an opening.
03:15:28 Meets their maker at the hands of Koifo, who's been the kill leader of this lobby, of this series, throughout the course of the day. They take care of Purple Slushie, and here comes Fusion, now moving up to try to 3P this. Coming in on the other side though, Shopify, it's only Koifo, and he clutches it! He clutches it! Shopify, Koifo, you're built different! With 5KP to his name, four squads left in Shopify.
03:15:56 Fully 2v3, Shopify truly are a level above Koifel. Almost up to 900 damage. And actually while we were in that listening, you were talking about Mav, because I just had a quick look at the stats. He's currently on 1700 damage in this particular game. So, obviously...
03:16:25 Impressive stuff coming out from Koipel there. But there's a couple of other monsters on the map that they need to put down. Well, CTE's gone out already now. We're in a top four. That's happened very, very quickly as Shopify try and move in and get involved in the rest of this. But the other three teams are actually situated quite healthily by themselves. So there's a lot of time and focus to be spent on Shopify as the last ones into the zone.
03:16:53 mit Shopify auf den Norden zu verlieren, auf einige Teammaten bereits. V.P. schaut auf dem Unleash, Empire. V.P. schaut auf both Unleash and Shopify, als Shopify get eliminated. Es war ein Zeitpunkt, aber sie hatten die Punkte, die sie brauchten. Meanwhile, Empire ist auch able, zu kriegen die Nox.
03:17:14 Yes, Shopify with that clutch secured their first place for the day. Impressive stuff. Now we've got three teams left, Empire to Unleash and Virtus Pro all jockeying for position. A good finish from Empire here could potentially catapult them above VP, who are currently in fifth place.
03:17:40 Und wow, eigentlich Unleash in 20th. So they've certainly got some spots that they could climb as well. Even a single point would help move them up. Empire still playing this day, getting the loot that they needed off of the death box that they just were able to secure. And this is Carter with that 30-30. Looking at Unleash while VP still taking up the entire east side of this zone space.
03:18:20 Moving up though, Riley still has the Blue Evo Show to keep note of. After everyone ganged up on Shopify, they've sort of taken their time to initiate the next phase of the fight. And yep, Zach Bane's out getting the first kill. EMP always the trigger to start something to make it happen. But the bang ult just as good in defense as the EMP is in offense.
03:18:46 Und dann die Ballistik-Ult, auch auf der High-Ground. Empire schaut nach VP, hinter den Kratzen, hinter den Bins zu kommen. Sie verlieren auf Lord of the Rings. Lu called ihn aus mit der Rampage. Und hier sie gehen. Lu, er dachte, er sagt, kann ich move up, kann ich close in der Space, aber nicht wollte, dass sie das Initial Knock haben, weil sie nicht vergessen können, um Unleash.
03:19:08 Oh, Carter, just before he gets behind cover, will be taken down. VP, I think might have this one wrapped up. In the bag they go, sliding in with confidence and getting the finishing blow. VP are your final game winners of our Groups B versus C series.
03:19:30 Kind of easy in the end. And yeah, look, VP, considering a great place, a great placing last week, they backed it up. Are they going to be first place in the NA region after this week of Pro League? That's an interesting prospect and I think something that I personally wouldn't have expected.
03:19:54 This is really interesting to study. VP and the way that they handle Broken Moon has just been phenomenal. The way that they feel very confident on the map, the way that they've been taking their rotate, the timing to their fights, knowing when to be aggressive, has allowed VP to move up in the overall standings today and to allow them to get some great three games here in Broken Moon.
03:20:17 Schiff, wie sind Sie? Wie sind Sie? Was haben Sie so viel Spaß gemacht? Insane Clutch von Koi.
03:20:24 Oh, listening to you guys absolutely lose it after the listening for Shopify Rebellion. I was just like, this is what we have to look forward to. This is the final game leading into New Orleans. And then VP closing it out, which is very consistent with the games that we were witnessing on Broken Moon in match day number two. I was like, look, if we're pulling down towards the southwestern side of things, VP from Foundry, VP with a W, here's the match six results. 18 points in that final game of the day, which you gotta think.
03:20:54 District started off relatively slow for them, so hopefully this puts them in a really nice spot on the series results later in. But can we just talk about that 10KB for Shopify Rebellion? I wrote down Kings of the North.
03:21:10 Ich weiß, dass die Wallen hier wirklich, weil ich nicht weiß, ob Shopify wirklich kam, ob ich 10kp kam. Ich meine, CTE, auch. Ich war zu Genome, wenn wir die Listen-In haben, und das Map war in der Killfeed mit der Kraber, auch. So CTE ist definitiv ein Statement, auch.
03:21:27 Oh, as we jump on over to the series results, Virtus Pro launched themselves up into a top three positioning. So second in match day two, third in match day three. That is really nice performance from Virtus Pro, but Shopify Rebellion, this one hurts for NRG, right? Going out with zero points in game number six genome, just knowing that they almost had this one in the bag, but at the end of the day, it's Shopify Rebellion who just clutch it up.
03:21:54 Ja, ein bisschen Sadge für NRG, aber sie waren ziemlich viel auf das, was es, Game 5, wo sie die große Pop-Off haben, wo Shopify, glaube ich, hat es geschafft, weil sie sehr consistent sind, in den einfachen Bezug auf 5-plus-Kills-A-Game und wirklich Stacking-It-On. Well, actually, wass that?
03:22:14 No, I'm not going to do Mass, I'm too tired for that. But yeah, look, 45 kills over the day is very, very solid. And I think when you talk to people about their expectations for NA Pro League, you know, it's Falcons, it is Shopify Rebellion and probably like 100 Thieves in the teams that people are expecting to be consistent and at the top of the table. So Shopify taking it out here is not a shock to anyone really.
03:22:43 Oh, definitely not. Well, we've officially completed one round robin for the majority of our regions here. Let's go ahead and look at the overall standings before we head into the ALGS Open. It is VP at the top with two series.
03:23:02 We played 39 total points. Shopify Rebellion in 2nd, 36. And Falcons, 32. Like, yeah, we still have a lot of the heavy-hitting names in those big organizations that are at the top. But what is next, Vicky? I mean, just of that performance alone, seeing VP go from like 6th to 1st.
03:23:24 This is awesome. To see the legend fans, to see what these different maps have done to some of these teams, it really highlights how many outside factors there are in Apex Legends that cultivate the best squads.
03:23:36 It's just been so much fun. Let's go ahead and run back the final circle of game number six one more time. I don't know if we need to slow anything down like we did with that on Moose or say 1v1, but actually, maybe we do. Anytime there's a Kraber in hand, you really have to just slow it down. There's nothing better than that, Genome.
03:23:56 Oh, das ist immer eine gute Zeit, zu sehen Schafi Rebellion, um ein paar von ihren Kills zu bekommen. Und ich meine, ja, das bestimmte Sequenz hier war einfach so, wie das Knochen auf Pluto hat, und ja, Koeifl in conjunction mit MT gewinnen die 2v3 hier ist einfach so.
03:24:21 Even here, this is what the accelerators on the P2020s do for you. MT on the Watson, constantly having access to a generator, throwing down the shield swaps, the timing of everything. It's a shame they don't make it out of there, because I would have loved to see what they could have brought to the table. But towards the end, in the final fight, Reverse Pro cleaned things up. Man, what a journey that we've had thus far across EMEA today, earlier in the...
03:24:50 into Americas now that we've kind of finished things up. I want to see what that Sony Endzone Kill Leaderboard is looking like. Our players, they love to tout when they've got all of the kills, but who is it going to be? And quite frankly, it's all Shopify Rebellion all day at the top, Vicky.
03:25:10 Wow, I mean, I'm not surprised whatsoever. Koifel leading the pack with 19. Zyanu empty time for 13. So has Pluto, though. Gotta give a shout-out to Purple Slushie with Pluto really having his own individual pop-off moments, getting 13 himself, phony from 100 Thieves. But I love seeing the double-digit KP count here, too, Tiff, because it also highlights how kill-heavy we've seen so many of these lobbies within the Americas.
03:25:35 Oh my gosh, just give us more, honestly. There's that win from earlier. They had a 20-point dub in game number five. And we have to go back through this, because Purple Slushy was playing spoiler in the earlier parts of our series, where they were looking like a formidable force on those fights. And then it's empty, Koiful. And hey, Trebstax in January. How many times did we see January play spoiler to a lot of our 1v1s when being chased? Well, here's Koiful.
03:26:04 Meet your maker at that point, closing things out. Where do we see the shield swap come through? Do we get it? The new kill eater right there. Zainu bidding picked back up. Dude, I almost started screaming. I was like, if I get up and throw my chair back, this whole green screen's going down. Like we are in for it here on a Sunday night.
03:26:23 And I mean, like at 19 kills, he's not breaking any records, right? In terms of series kill leaders, but the quality of the kills was impressive. And what we saw him do in those fights was swinging it around and making sure that Shopify ended up with the 25 split points today.
03:26:42 Yeah, it was absolutely disgusting. That's all I'm going to say about that sequence of events. But we've got to get someone in here from Shopify Rebellion. I want to break it down a bit more. And we do have MT joining us. So MT, congratulations on your Match 3 performance. It was so cool to witness. I've got to know, how are you feeling in that entire rotation at the end of Game 6?
03:27:09 To be honest, as soon as we saw we got a kill on 100 Thieves earlier, we got one kill 15th and we knew NRG died early, so we kind of just already knew we'd run the day. So going in, we were just like playing with confidence, just playing for kills.
03:27:24 Can we talk about this? This is the second time today that we have heard it's the confidence that matters, right? We heard that in EMEA with Zuni. And then the first thing you say is confidence. Now, leading into the ALGS Open, that confidence that you guys already have, we know you can perform well at LAN. Do you think this could lead into a potential LAN win, given all the crazy changes we've seen in year five?
03:27:49 Of course. I mean, we were unbelievably close to winning champs. We won two games in finals. We died to a bug first game. If that didn't happen, we might have won the whole thing. So going into this land, we know we're capable of winning and we're super confident.
03:28:07 And how has been the Legend Bands influenced by your team? You know, you guys are fragging out in this entire lobby. You guys are able to make the adjustments that you need. Broken Moon being that mat that you needed at the very end. I mean, how has that influenced the just the comms in your team and how you guys have gone about things?
03:28:24 I don't think it's really changed much, to be honest. Koian, Xinyu and myself are all capable of playing any character, so we just play whatever everybody's most comfortable on, and I don't think it's really changed much for our team.
03:28:39 All right. I mean, obviously, you know, I've been watching you for a very long time now, MT. And at the start of your career, it was definitely... Look, that was like an I'm old laugh. I know that one. Anyway, at the start of your career, right, it was definitely a much more zone-heavy kind of IGL playstyle, right? And now you've found Koi and Zyanyu, and it's like it would be a complete waste not to be like the hardest edge team.
03:29:06 with those guys on your squad. So how was that transition for you going from one playstyle to another? And how much further do you think you can take that?
03:29:20 Ja, ich weiß nicht. Es war eine solche Veränderung, wo ich dann einfach mehr bereit bin, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
03:29:48 Ich weiß nicht, dass es nicht so gut geht, weil es nicht so gut geht, weil es nicht so gut geht, weil es nicht so gut geht, weil es nicht so gut geht.
03:30:16 Ja, ich meine, es ist großartig, dass du so flexibel bist, ich glaube. Mein letzter Frage, dann, würde ich von, say, der NA Pro League, wie wir heute gesehen haben, zu einem möglichen Land Finals Lobby mit Legend Bands. Kannst du, dass du in so einem sehr high-pressure Lobby mit jeder guten Team existieren?
03:30:43 Yeah, 100%. I mean, we've done it before in LAN Finals, so I don't see why this one would be any different. There's that confidence again, Gino. It's right there, like just completely cold. I love it. Honestly, it's been really cool to see kind of everything that you've been doing, especially today, but leading into New Orleans, and we know that we've got international scrims and LAN scrims coming up. Is there anything you and the team are working on in particular leading up to the ALGS Open?
03:31:14 I think we worked on a lot of different things leading up to this week at Pro League. So I think we're just going to continue playing how we're playing and not really change anything. We're feeling good at the moment. Perfect. All right. Well, business as usual, I wish you the best of luck in New Orleans before I let you go and celebrate the day. Any shout outs you want to give across the way? I'll shout out my teammates. Zanyu, Don, Koi. They're all insane.
03:31:37 Insane indeed. Well, I wish you the best of luck and I can't wait to see what New Orleans looks for you. Thank you so much for joining us on the desk and have a great rest of your evening. Cheers, you too.
03:31:51 Dude is locked. That's all I got to say, Vicky, Gino. Like that is, we just won. We're ready to win more. And I can't wait to keep on doing it. So now that we've kind of had our wrap up of our six games, match day number three. Oh man, Vicky, across all regions, it's been intense. But what's your biggest takeaway before we head on over to the ALGS Open?
03:32:15 It's crazy to see what a playstyle difference we are being exposed to again across multiple regions. Like we saw Nine Lies pop off on, I believe it was E-District. They had taken like two games in general. They needed only one more to get that extra point. They didn't get it. But then seeing the KP flowing between NRG, Shopify, VP coming in for that last clutch dub. It's crazy to see how things have shifted so significantly within the ALGS. And that means that we are in for a treat in New Orleans.
03:32:44 I feel like things are going to keep on shifting for sure. But Gina, like you said in your interview there with MT, we've got to witness a lot of these teams grow and adapt in real time. And with the changes in year five, like what are your overall thoughts from today before we head on over to the Bayou area?
03:33:02 Yeah, I mean, having to adapt is going to be a key part of ALGS in Nier 5. If you look at the legend compositions that were played across the entire series in NA today, the highest pick rate of a composition was 13% for Alter, Castle and Newcastle. And that's because teams are having to pick different comps every game, every week. So it's really fascinating to just see, you know, can a team be...
03:33:31 und das Team war Shopify heute.
03:33:55 Definitely was. Once again, congratulations to Shopify. NRG there almost had it. And VP getting into the top three. But thank you both. I hope you all have an amazing rest of your evening. It's been an absolute blast to share the desk alongside y'all. But you guys know what? We're still going to keep things moving here because we're not done. The next time we meet, it's live from New Orleans at the ALGS Open May 1st through 4th at the Earnest and Muriel Convention Center. The tickets still available. So go ahead and...
03:34:25 Das QR-Code ist, wenn du nie gesehen hast Apex Legends in Landform gesehen hast. Was bist du? Das ist so verrückt.
03:34:33 To hear the celebrations when the lights go out and that champion winner at the end of the week getting to hoist the trophy around all of the pyrotechnics, there is no greater feeling. But for now, that's pretty much everything we've got here. We had EMEA earlier today. We wrapped up the Americas. Shout out to our amazing broadcast team, Vicky and Genome for crushing the casting. And most of all.
03:34:56 You at home for supporting Apex Legends. We wouldn't be doing this without any of y'all across the way throughout all of the watch parties, our content creators, our competitors. You make this a home that is such a blast to be a part of. We're going to see you guys live from New Orleans in just a few short weeks and we'll catch you then.
