Nordamerikanische ALGS Split 2 Pro League Match Day 8: Einführung und Teamanalyse
00:05:08
00:05:08 Happy belated July 4th for those celebrating in North America. And it was party time all around, if you've been watching the ALGS. We just kicked things off with fireworks in EMEA. And now it's time for North America's turn. The last day that Group A will play. And of course, that means the last time you'll see Falcons before the regional finals. All of this, so much on the line and more Apex, of course.
00:05:34 Mein Name ist Reinde, und ich werde heute mit zwei anderen anderen Kasten für den Match Day 8 sein. Wir haben Tiff in der Bühne. Wir starten strong in EMEA. Es ist jetzt Zeit für EMEA. Let's do es. Honestly, du sagst es richtig. Group A ist die letzte Chance zu entscheiden, ob du es in den Region Finals zu machen. So die Teams, die wir sehen, stecken auf. Oxygen, ja. ELEVATE. Let's see if du was EMEA gemacht hast.
00:06:02 Well, another person who's joining us as well. She missed the first couple of games. Wasn't her fault, though, by the end of the day. It's July 4th. It's Miami traffic. I mean, we're just happy she got here in one piece. Vicky Kitty back here starting off strong in North America. We're so excited to have you. Listen, when I got the Play Apex call to sit up here with you, Rain Day, and Tip, I would not have missed it for anything. Happy to be on this broadcast with you guys to be going through North America because, like you guys already highlighted,
00:06:28 Time is of the essence. Our last matchday for Group A to really put on some points. You're actually giving me an idea of, you know, an Apex kind of Bat logo in the sky. If we ever need you, the logo is there. I'll always be watching. Vicky, our Batgirl today, for sure. And it just goes to show that when you look at what's happening here, ALGS always has fun things in store, whether it's being on a broadcast online.
00:06:53 oder in person. In fact, if you want to join us in person, we have just revealed the location for the split two playoffs happening soon. Check it out.
00:07:53 We'll be there live with our split two playoffs. And you do not want to miss it. To keep an eye on tickets, which will go on sale soon, make sure you're following our socials at play apex esports on X, twitch.tv slash play apex for the broadcast here and over on YouTube at play apex esports as well. Just bringing it back into it. Land is always fun.
00:08:17 Tiff, it's a special thing to be able to gather as a community together. You really don't want to miss those opportunities if you have the ability to go. Exactly, and I was kind of talking about it earlier on the EMEA broadcast. It's so nice to be going back to Europe, to be so easily accessible from a lot of the players and fans that are going to be in that area. I know we're going to bring someone in at the halftime that has a pretty close proximity. So it's nice to see that and give people the chance to get in the building and experience a LAN firsthand.
00:08:47 Certainly true. And one of the things that, you know, leading into this is when we talk about the story of the ALGS, sure, it's Match Day 8, Last Day for Group A. We have these small themes. Then we have big themes. And really, the LAN is where these big themes happen. Who won? The Dark Zero versus TSM, the comebacks. And now this new phase in Year 4, which is...
00:09:05 Das war's.
00:09:31 Crazy Raccoon
00:10:00 Unless they did well. Well, Tiff, let's break down how that final circle went, because ultimately it would change the expectations for Split 2. Yeah, it was so wild. We talk about breaking records and all of that is APAC North's regional finals. The previous match length that we had seen in the regional finals was 13. And when I woke up this morning, we were sitting on game 11 and this team on your screen had...
00:10:25 Everything to gain when it came to these regional finals, right? Fnatic pretty much locks it in via the points. And granted, they've changed around. But when it came to this building outside of Cascades, not only was it the diverse legend compositions that we get from APAC North. I mean, you can see there's the Gibby there. You've still got the Pathfinder that's been the niche pick. So you bubble forward for Fnatic. But in comes the gravity lift from the team that goes on to win.
00:10:52 I'm looking at Striders, right? They pop the grav lift. They get out of dodge in terms of all the resources that are coming out for that endgame. They drop down. They clean up Funny Loco. And with this win that Striders gets, being on match point eligibility, they evict Crazy Raccoon out of the top nine. They will not be going on. Oblique and Song Joon do not go to split two playoffs to defend their LAN championship, which is quite...
00:11:20 Possibly one of the biggest heartbreaks I've seen in a minute. It's not only, I mean, the biggest heartbreak. It's like, it's kind of hard to put into perspective. This may be the first that's ever happened where we've seen a LAN champion not make it to the next LAN to defend their title. And that also means that Team Falcons are pretty happy. EMEA seems pretty happy as well. APAC North and Reject Winity, I'll say it. They were phenomenal at LAN. That will no longer be a threat.
00:11:48 Who will take their spot? We're going to find out here. APAC North already has their nine. I believe it's nine. But also APAC South looking to add a few more alongside Legends Gaming. Leave no witness to Be Our Demon from South America. That just happened and they just qualified. And Shadow and of course SSE X-Ray will be making it from China.
00:12:09 One of the interesting elements of this too is nobody in EMEA and no one in North America has qualified yet, Vicky. And that just shows you how tight it is, besides Falcons, of course. And the race is still going on. It's the last chance for Group A, but for a lot of people, this is a chance to really step up and separate yourself from the pack, which so far has been very difficult to do.
00:12:30 Well, when you're a God Squad out here from Team Falcons and you're sponging up all the points, that's what makes the rest of these qualifying teams interesting at what is left up for grabs here. As we take a look at the action that we have waiting for us on the other side, that's not all we're gonna hear from Team Falcons. Sure, they're the only qualified team here in North America, but leave some for the rest of us, Rain Day. I mean, it's pretty insane. This gap...
00:12:56 Ich glaube, es ist nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es so, dass es so, dass es so, dass es so, dass es so.
00:13:14 Ja, das ist genau das, was ich sagen. Ich glaube, ich glaube, das letzte Mal auf dem Broadcast war, was Match Day Nummer 2. Und ich habe gesagt, danke Gott, dass sie hier aus dem Super Team sind, weil es ein bisschen embarrassing wäre, wenn sie wegfallen sind, nicht wahr. Aber als du auf die Hälfte von der 11. bis 20. Es sind die Teams auf der Fringe, die sind in Group A, die ich am meisten worried about, die ich shouted. Und ich habe gesagt, wir müssen sicher, dass du alles kannst, um das Regional Final zu erreichen. Teams wie Oxygen Esports, Elevate, und sogar Yupp,
00:13:44 Just on the outskirts of the top 20, Vicky, it is do or die for them today. It's so scary to consider the other half, the last 10 teams in this overall standing, especially after a performance that we saw from Yup, the other Pro League day that we had for North America. Now they are one of the teams sitting on the cusp with 38 points neighboring that of Elevate. Right behind them, Temper with 34 points here, but it is so tight because even looking all the way down to most skated, right? Let's say they have an insane pop-off day.
00:14:13 Can you imagine how this is going to shake up the overall standings for the day? So interesting to look at. You've got a little bit of the tone set. You've got the stakes. Now let's zero in on the teams who will be playing today. Group A is their last shot as well. Obviously, some big names there, including Falcons, but also some CC Love will have to be giving that out.
00:14:34 ein bisschen. Und Group C. Obviamente, sie spielen morgen auch, so sie haben ein bisschen mehr Wiggle room. Aber Liquid Alienware teams, die wir sehen, als contenders für LANs, werden natürlich auch weiterhin arbeiten und die Arbeit gemacht werden. Of course, wenn es um ein Land zu kommen, wir sehen die Magic Nummer.
00:14:53 Def, it's usually about 80-something. I think we got exact numbers on this one as well, and it's also important for teams who can't qualify for LAN just to try to see if they can get in that Regional Final and have a chance to win Match Point. Yeah, it was 84.7 over in EMEA, and it's probably sitting closer somewhere to 82 here in North America. For Split 2 Playoffs last year, it was 82 points. That was the threshold that basically said Meat was on the outside looking in. For Split 1 Playoffs this year, it was right at 80 points. For 12th place,
00:15:23 To be the cutoff, Exet was the one looking from the outside in in 13th place. So you never want to be the one that is literally almost there because we need to find who our teams are that are going to be heading on to Germany for Group A. Like we've said, it's your last chance Group B. Well, you know, that's going to be tomorrow and don't let it come down to the regional finals. Anything can happen there and it's scary.
00:15:45 One of the people who are so, you know, one of the people in this industry of ours, our esports industry that maybe sometimes gets overlooked are these tournament organizers, right?
00:15:55 Oversight Esports, they gave me an opportunity to compete in actually a tournament. And it was insane to see the level of even good pros, just quality pros, get IGL'd by some people like Dropped and Zynu. It was amazing the skill that is out there in the Apex Legends ecosystem. And what's amazing is we keep discovering new and new teams through the challenger circuit who make big strides in showcasing to the world that the greatest player, the greatest team might be a team you have.
00:16:24 So let's highlight a couple of our Challenger Circuit squads that have done well up until this point and have a fighting chance to make it to land.
00:17:36 Vielen Dank für's Zuschauen.
00:17:55 Even with the familiar names that we see from KCP, former Tripods on their journey, sitting in 10th overall, coming from the split two qualifiers, all these teams, we've been able to highlight their journey, who have been making their way from challenger circuit and then showcasing that new wave of talent coming into the Pro League to match up against the old guard. And it shows to everybody watching at home, if you think you have what it takes to compete against these pros in this lobby, well, show up.
00:18:22 Das ist der beste Weg zu starten, um ein Pro-League-League-League zu sein. Ich denke, es ist July 20. Es ist 22. Und die Registration closes auf, like, July 17. Ich bin pretty sicher, dass ich das von den früheren Grafen habe. So, stay tuned für das. Und, ja, Ihr journey in den ALGS könnte jetzt beginnen.
00:18:40 Okay, let's talk Tiff about another team that's been pretty impressive here. They go by the name of Yup. Walk me through how this team is performing and why there's somebody we felt the need to highlight today.
00:18:52 Yeah, I mean, you've got to keep your eyes on, not only because you think about the roster being Prodigy Aces, Dupe, Asivian. This is a really nice trio, but in match day number seven, they came out swinging, just similar to FA Kids over in EMEA on their prior match day. Yup, finally got things moving. Granted, they were so close to the bottom of the leaderboard in terms of North America, but after getting this match day win with two wins under their belt for that series, it shot them up.
00:19:22 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
00:19:23 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020
00:19:53 We can see match number two, eight eliminations and a win. Match six, eight eliminations and a win. And that kind of allows you to bide that consistency overall through the series. And it's just really good to see them kind of setting that straight. And who knows, maybe they carry on the momentum today. They cannot, you know, forget about dupe. I mean, obviously that optic roster that we thought was, you know, going to be able to.
00:20:18 Das ist ein tolles Moment.
00:20:29 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
00:20:58 And I'm sure many of you have done this already, or maybe doing it right now, setting it up so that you can be there for every rotation, every comm, and every big game win. Check out FaceIt Watch as well to watch it and have control.
00:21:16 The LGS is always fun. So many different stories. Today will be no different. We are about to get into it. Games are about to get ready. The players are loading up. And guess what? That means Match Day 8 is about to begin. So Tiff, Vicky, let's get it started. Oh, you know I'm excited, Vicky. We were talking about it earlier. I was like, thank you so much for getting on here and joining me on the mic. It's been what, like a year and a half, two years since we got the cast together?
00:21:43 It's been 50 years, but it's time. It's time to rendezvous, Tiffany. What better way to kick off you and I casting together than a day where there's a lot of stakes on the line. We've highlighted them already. I like how we highlighted Yup. You talking about the most important part about Yup after having a crazy match day for themselves. Better than ever. I always say when it comes to showing up, because talking about the individual players, Dupe being on that team, he was the best Gibby when Gibby, Caustic, Valkyrie,
00:22:12 We're in the meta. Yes, I am throwing you guys back for a ride. If you guys remember that composition meta back in the day in the ALGS, that's where Duke really showed up. And now transitioning to adapt around the very interesting legend compositions that we've witnessed across all regions. Well, we got to start off on Stormpoint for our first three games and looking at the draft pick that we currently have for today, Tiff.
Storm Point POI Draft Picks und frühe Spielstrategien
00:22:35
00:22:35 Yeah, we need to throw it down immediately. So many of our teams went for World's Edge POIs in the first pickup. So Pioneers, they decided, no, we're going to start things off on Storm Point. They grabbed the mill, which is a POI that they're very familiar with. And then you see Cito going next, Echo, Lightning Rod for the Falcons. But yup, they grabbed Zoo Station. Now you think back to that Match Day 7 where they found those two wins. They were coming in from Zoo Station on Storm Point.
00:23:04 So obviously they were enjoying those rotations from Zeus. They went ahead to run it right back.
00:23:10 Ja, und also der Fall, dass du das große Jump Tower hast da, so dass du ein guter Platz hast, so dass du ein guter Platz hast, depending auf wo diese Circle Pools haben, auf Stormpoint. Und dann, auf der anderen Seite hier, für unsere letzten Quads hier, wird es C9 landen über bei Launchpad, Cascade über für Temper, als FURIA kommen hier über die Wall. Aber es ist toll, wie diese Teams haben opten, um ihre POI Draftpick für Stormpoint versus World's Edge, und vice versa.
00:23:40 mit ihren eigenen Strengen.
00:23:42 Yeah, I mean, when I look at Stormpoint and I look at the POIs that have had the most wins, there's been three just from Devastated Coast. And NRG is going to go ahead and wrap that up as their pick. SSG and Stormcatcher, I don't hate it. We had that Stormcatcher zone earlier today in EMEA and things got absolutely brutal. So being able to take precedence to a rotate if that zone does make a play here in North America. We also saw Lions take Trident in EMEA and they ran into some issues with their rotation specifically when it went south.
00:24:12 So, hopefully, for DSG, they can kind of get ahead of that. But who knows? We've had such a variance when it comes to Stormpoint on the Zones today that anything can happen, Vicky.
00:24:22 It's so crazy, you know what, I'm talking about anything. I'm getting word that Q0 is out on Disguise for today, so with some changes landing over by Trident, we gotta see what Disguise is cooking up here too. Jumping into game number one. We highlighted them earlier on, talking about Yup, and we get to see just as what we witnessed in EMEA TIFF, the Seer, the Catalyst, making its way into the meta in North America.
00:24:51 I mean, yeah, it's here. It's here. And this is different, right? Because you think about Yup's performance from Match Day 7. They were actually on Storm Point running Watts and Bang Blood. So this is a massive change up for them. They brought in the catalyst when it came to Storm Point, and that's dupe, right? So keeping that roll the same, it makes sense. But Bang Seer, we're swapping out the blood for Seer, and it makes sense given all the changes that just dropped. I'm just not used to seeing exhibits everywhere.
00:25:19 It's beautiful, though. They're like fireworks of their own here. I guess it's very fitting if we're going to be able to see that more in North America. Now, considering the fact where this circle is going to be pulling and how we highlighted the skies landing over by Trident, they also, by the way, had an evil harvester, so that's always nice to see. But the circle is potentially pulling by the choke of North Pad and Checkpoint because, Tiff, we've seen a very similar circle to this where a lot of teams, they bank on Checkpoint rotates, maybe a much more safer rotate coming out of the deck.
00:25:49 B-Side, if you're looking at Vanity, but I'm also focusing on how much information is available in the northwestern part of that map. You saw the ring console. You saw the Survey Beacon over by Checkpoint. It looked like Northpad had a ring console themselves, and then down beast with another ring console. So, so many teams wanting to get that information are going to be finding themselves rotating maybe on the west side of that circle.
00:26:11 Yeah, there's a lot of opportunities to grab those Ring consoles. And if you're Oblivion, well, you just need Blue Shields to hit that level two perk upgrade for Fuse to get Ringmaster and have access to those. So you're already seeing that their pathing will include that next Evo cache, which will be enough to go ahead and get access to it. So all the comms coming through that are accurate, Cascade Falls even had access to a Ring console. But a lot of our teams are hitting the move so quickly. Anytime it goes to North.
00:26:40 Wir sehen uns jetzt, mit Fioria. Wir sehen uns jetzt, mit Fioria. Wir sehen uns jetzt, mit Fioria. Wir sehen uns jetzt, mit Fioria. Also, extra Evo Shield charge für sie selbst. Aber das sieht, dass es sich zu sein.
00:27:09 der nächsten Evo Harvester, während C.C.E. in front of them. So immediately takes that zipline and gets out of the fray.
00:27:16 Yeah, you gotta get through that choke. You do not want to find any resistance early on. But we did see Keon is playing today, so good shout to him. I heard he had his power go out and had to drive like 30 minutes to redo his setup elsewhere. So happy to see him still be able to lock it in here for Furia. For Flat in the meantime, yes, we've moved into a viable position, but sometimes when you get into kind of those areas, the donut gazebos, I just don't feel very safe on them early on. But a team that's on the fringe, elevate on your screen.
00:27:45 Slayer trying to back away and maybe find a reposition. Zack with a swing. Wants that angle, but there goes that exhibit we're talking about. It's always there. The shiny beacon to let everybody know who's fighting right now, but elevate and having Zack on this fuse, though. Look at the amount of damage output, but specifically the space he's elevating for Slayer and Luxford to actually get enabled into a better position. I love the aggression that we're currently seeing from Zack Major holding an off angle, and I love the follow-up here, too. Oxygen.
00:28:14 Get deleted on your screens. What a quick fight. And elevating Elevator Ready at the very beginning of getting that free KP.
00:28:21 Yeah, but with Oxygen Esports being the first team out, this is another team that we highlighted in the Fringe from Group A. This is their last chance to make a play to secure themselves a slot in that regional finals for the hopes of making it to Mannheim, Germany. But Elevate do need every elimination because they're sitting in the same boat. But I do love the way that with the Fuse, you can kind of take angles and make space between the Knuckle Clusters and the majority of our Fuse players in the lobby stacking 12 grenades with ease. It just makes for some chaos.
00:28:51 The Legend Comp diversity is insane. Are you guys looking at this at the top of your screen? Your eyes are not deceiving you. There is one Tripalter in the lobby, and it is not two. It is actually RKN Native. And you gotta respect your elders for a reason out here, Tip. It looks like Native Gaming may be cooking up something that we weren't expecting right now. Temper in a lot of trouble. They get eliminated, and most hated now currently as a duo looking to reset where things are getting heated very quick for these squads on their quick rotate.
00:29:19 Yeah, this is a team that's nine points coming into this outside of that 20th position to play in regional finals. So I would really love to see a solid showing out of them, knowing that this is their final match day to be played. You have everything to gain and technically also to lose. But for Furia, making their play out of checkpoint, get to find that information.
00:29:41 And Liquid Alienware is also here. The Rolling Thunder is going to push them just further back outside of the main area of Checkpoint. But once you lose that high ground and someone starts to take angles on you, it can be really detrimental.
Checkpoint Chaos, Down Beast Positionierung und Teamkämpfe
00:29:54
00:29:54 Highlighting Liquid Alien, we're sitting in 6 in the overall standing right now. This is a team that we know takes a little bit of time to ramp up, but once that momentum is there, they absolutely go crazy right now. With Hugwadus being on the Fuse, the Pathfinder now being a lot more common to see here, being able to get that ring console scan alongside your Fuse, as well as a Survey Beacon. You go hand in hand with who you want to rotate through, but playing off this slight low ground, you can see that they have the information on where the circle is going to be pulling. Do you want to take this fight, or do you want to coexist on this platform is the question.
00:30:24 This is the last place I want to coexist low-key. Checkpoint Collapses at the endgame go absolutely wrong. For the majority of our teams, they're going to be looking to play for that third ring console scan to give them that final information. Do we need to commit to North Pad? Do we commit to Checkpoint? The majority of our squads have elected to go to North Pad or rotate in from Down Beast, which if you're Kansas City Pioneers, knowing that that's where you start out on Storm Point, you are living life good. But if I'm Furia, I want to go ahead and hit it. You've secured it up.
00:30:53 You've got the Bangsmoke coming in from Vaxlon. See where we're headed. Wow. Getting the information and the fact that Team Liquid, they're in that next circle. They actually are directly in the middle of the choke between Checkpoint into Downed Beast. This is going to be crazy for the teams that are expecting the DBZ buildings over to the north and these buildings right here on the outskirts of North Pat as we've Riley literally won, popping that shield bat, losing out on Carter.
00:31:20 Oh, okay. I was going to say, that's some good damage thrown down there, but Riley peeks through the doorway and Phony just opens it up. SSG are really working this fight to their advantage. They're taking minimal damage and just suppressing Weave to the best of their ability, even grabbing the Fools to deny them any chance of a reset. Here we go. I love the Seer passive as you ADS. Constantly hold those hands up. Be like, where is my last member of Weave? I've got to take him out. Remember when you could run?
00:31:49 Das ist ein normaler Run Speed.
00:32:18 Jetzt haben wir KCP auf die Height-Seine 9, die mit Vanity auf dem anderen Seite gespielt.
00:32:35 Yeah, we got four different teams here. Pioneers are operating the lower side of Down Beast. You have Oblivion up top. You have Vanity that have that chokehold on the building outskirts of that ring console. Now, I love that Cloud9 did rotate in. They used the Dark Veil to make sure that they had a relatively cut off line of sight from the top of Down Beast. And they have put in themselves in such a solid position now that we know where that zone is inevitably pulling to. Now, Falcons, who've had to make their way all the way from Lightning Rod, will be showing up.
00:33:05 Two down beasts, just a little bit late, but they're sitting triple purple and they've avoided all the checkpoint chaos, or do they third it? Mmm, it's a little tempting here, but their priority were those evil harvesters that you just saw them, so if anything, they could just hold that choke and completely annihilate these teams here that eventually would have to rotate, whether it be on the north side of checkpoint or commit to that south side that we saw Falcons in. Liquid Alienware have moved up, they're getting pinged off to the side, but they were able to get that initial knock onto Madness. Yeah, this is a fight that we're gonna need to clean up and clean up.
00:33:33 Yanya, you can see the cross just getting fired from all different angles. Luckily does expend the grapple to get him back inside. Let's see what angles we can take. This is just a moment of reprieve before we jump back into the things, which honestly, if you did not get the full on madness, there's a good chance that they're going to set a regain. But using the supply bin as a head peek.
00:33:57 Okay, you love to see it. Get crazy with Pathfinder. Man, I do love some path craziness. Oh yeah, I know Onset absolutely thriving out here. He never gave up on Pathy, by the way. He was always a believer out here with these changes and the perks really coming through. I mean, mid-season change is even better, allowing the reset. And it looks like the reset from Team Liquid for allowing them to get on top of this building with some crazy rotates. They're trying to hold an off angle because they know they have to make their next move quick.
00:34:25 Yeah, there's one member of Furia that's still lurking about, but it looks like they may have already dropped to the low ground and just decided we need to get out of here. That's why Niazl is kind of walking up.
00:34:35 Looking for any kind of information we can get or see where Fury may have ran off to. I think they did get the full on Madness early on. Now Fury will be relegated to that duo. And okay, still putting that damage down, making them really work for it. But this is also one of their big goals, right? They want that ring console information. Where do they need to pull to? And well, it's not going to be checkpoint. And all the teams that made their way to Down Beast early on are going to be reaping the rewards.
00:35:04 Oh, they called it out so quick there too. And that goes hand in hand with the benefits of having a ring console on your rotate here. And the squads that were able to get that information already settled down in Down Beast. You have four teams and a lot of the space to the south of Down Beast are very open minus the hilltop that you could try to play around the LOS. But it's inevitable when you have so many other squads waiting to play on the edge of the circle to collapse.
00:35:27 For sure, and for most hated on your screen, it would be really nice if they could go into the endgame with their level 2 perks, but 763 away from Laser. I honestly think their fuse wasn't that far away. Now, maybe if we connect and stick someone with the Knuckle Cluster, we can get that damage done quite quickly, but the angles that we are taking straight onto DSG, even the focus of attention comes out.
00:35:51 Trying to fend off the push and it does enough for now, but not when you've just got to invest those knuckle clusters straight into that open area. Enemy though on the left hand side, we'll have to check in with them later.
00:36:04 And it's also nice to highlight how teams like KCP benefiting off the high ground of Down Beast because they land over by Mail so easy to rotate. Vanity, who do land Down Beast, stuck inside of a building on that low ground, avoiding all the chaos that these other squads, like NRG, have to now navigate through when it comes to what their next plan is going to be. Having that seer as well as the fuse that we've been constantly seeing. The Bangalore from Knott before making that next call. If they want to hold this choke while noting that both Falcons and Stallions closer to the Evil Harvester to their side.
00:36:33 sind auch noch nicht, aber NRG sind in der Umgebung, um sich zu helfen, um Falcons zu helfen, mit Stallions zu helfen.
Falcons dominieren Checkpoint, Evac Tower Dramen und Disguise sichert sich den Sieg
00:36:41
00:36:41 Just as for any team on the south side of Checkpoint right now, Team Falcons have taken control of that choke point. We know what rotations look like when you have to get through that choke to Down Beast because everyone from Down Beast looks at you. And what Team Falcons are about to do is they are going to look to full send any of these teams trying. And the thing is, if a fight breaks out down there, it's going to be multiple squads going down, not just that isolated fight that we talk about. But for Yup, who had such a strong showing in match day number seven, they have found...
00:37:10 Das war insane. Das war Knucklecluster, Fuse-Ult, Bangalore-Ult von einem anderen Team.
00:37:37 RKN's bombardment on the Gibby coming in here too. It is actually chaos right now from the squad fighting their way from the north side. Furia, Disguise, CCE, now looking at Falcons, now looking to get involved versus NRG as Stallions have wrapped up on the other side of NRG and have now pinched them instead.
00:37:56 Ja, ich meine, HAL bereits öffnet. Sie haben das Initial Knock-On to Reptar, NRG noch gegen die anderen Team, die hier ist, Stallions. Und es ist einfach, die Falcons zu kommen und spielen, die Crew zu nicht nur NRG, aber Stallions. Jetzt mit drei Eliminationen, sie haben relativ schnell aus der Sous-Side Checkpoint und können all diese Lüte aufnehmen, wie sie in die Downbeast werden.
00:38:20 And now you're worried about the squads that are still hanging out in Checkpoint. Maybe hugging that ring console for any sort of safety. Who knows? Maybe with an evac tower can make some magic happen. But holding this position means that you will...
00:38:32 Ich habe den Team von Team Falcons in der nächsten Choke. Und der einzige Team, der für Falcons ist, wird Elevated kommen, in die Sout-Western, von der nächsten Circle. Spacestation wird von der High-Ground eingegangen. N'Zhul fällt auf N'Zhul, fällt auf Yanya's face. Zainu wird zu resetten, aber ein bisschen zu spazieren, die Spacestation und Liquid.
00:38:54 Okay, Koi, from the high ground, Liquid Alienware, they are done and dusted, but now that that ring is starting to come in, time is of the essence. Do we have Evac Towers? There it goes. It gets called in, but are you going to be able to make that in time? We'll only have to see. There is no room for air. Falcons are going to do the same and call in their own Evac Tower, but from the north, Furia trying to hit a last-minute reset with Madness throwing the Arc Stars down the line, but we need to be running.
00:39:22 Ohohoho, und mit der Smoke kommt in Tier 2. Und hier ist das Diener Flohr. Furious Vaxelon ist ein Schuss. Das war ein Schuss. Das war ein Schuss. Das war ein Schuss zu machen. Cap versucht zu bleiben. Er wurde mit dem Sentinels in der Distance getötet. Und Flatt war neben dem, nach dem C.C.E. getötet. In der Distance ist ein Team, South, oder eher North, von Downbeast. Das wird dann auch noch ein Schuss. Wir sehen uns am Chaos.
00:39:50 And we knew this was gonna happen. You see Elevate has already moved into looking to play from Cloud9, but gets rejected from them. And now we'll be able to kind of try and stabilize here. You've got Chaotic. I would love to see some of these doors get reinforced, but Chaotic's got to focus on staying alive because, well, all of...
00:40:06 Und hier kommt Hal auf den Fuse. Ich war auf den Fuse. Und ich sage das, 12 Nades in der Inventory. Wir brauchen nicht Syringes, wir brauchen Nades.
00:40:24 Das ist die wichtigste Sache. Du musst nicht die Heal, wenn alle anderen sind schon dead. Und das ist die Falken. Denn look at die Schlitt attention! Zero! Ich kann nur imagine, dass die Cobb sind. Sie immediately diverted ihre attention zu ihren Backen. Looking at the way that Falcons is playing, Forming this Lobby. Let's jump into a listen-in with Falcons, as they clean up the rest of the last six Quads.
00:40:49 Let's play under. Let's go peek. I'm peeking now. I'm selling. Or we can play in front room building. Look if I build. I think it's better. I think it's better. Looking front room build. Just forcing it here. I'm at me! Three men at me, three men at me!
00:41:16 Ich bin jetzt! Ich bin jetzt hier!
00:41:34 Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Fuse one! Maybe Rez? Not sure! No no no! Don't Rez! Play for the side of the building in front of you, Wes! 300! The side of the building! The side of the building! The side of it! Put him out! Like, not inside, alright? Don't go inside! Don't go inside! Just jump to the side! You gotta go! You gotta go! Jump to the side! Come! Come to me! Come to me! You can't play that! On me! On me! On me! On me! Here! On me! I pick you! I'm on one! I'm on one! I can't! Alright!
00:42:04 Well, Falcons, we lose out on Hal, we lose out on Zero, but Jen Burton, the Seer, lasts alive. But there's a lot of things we learned in that listening, is the fact that Zero, giving those calls, is doing the cardinal directions to the actual degrees. Like 300 west go, and Jen Burton lives to see another day. But for Oblivion, who have racked up three eliminations, find themselves in the top five, Vicky, in a really solid position.
00:42:33 Es ist großartig, dass sie das Fens-Line zu der anderen Seite haben, um die Schuads zu sehen, um die Schuads zu sehen. Ich denke, um KCP zu spielen, um das Low-Ground zu sehen, während Oblivion hat die Height. Sie spielen in eine split-Position, um zwei verschiedene Angeln zu halten. Zwei auf der anderen Seite, zwei auf der Height, das Sie nicht sehen, aber KCP auf der Full-Blue-Evos ist, was ich überrascht. Jen Burden, kann man die Magic passieren hier als Solo? Ich meine, du musst du mit fünf Schuads zu spielen.
00:43:00 Oh, all right, Disguised. Here, trying to get through these Piercing Spikes. They can be one of the biggest enemies left in the Lobby. Purple Mag on the Havoc, which makes it feel pretty nice, regardless, considering it got that rework on the Mags. Trying to take angles and fight through whatever you can. Sometimes you just gotta push in with the Hemlock and let...
00:43:21 Das war's.
00:43:33 Das ist all you have to worry about, right? But you say that, and Jett is incredibly scary of a player like we know it, and maybe trying to see if you can find an opportunity to capitalize off of what is left of these squads. KCP with Blue Evos, though, calling in an evac, right? Looking at them, though, is Oblivion waiting for them to try to commit here, but the Smoke Nades, there's only so much you can really do here when you're forced to only go in one direction, Tib. Yeah, you throw down two Knuckle Clusters and a ton of nades, you save the mother load, but here is what happens. Jett has...
00:44:01 Er sagt, ihr wollt, Fuseponium? Hier sind meine Frags. Das macht sie in den Top 3 und macht sie eine gute Rotation. Wir sehen Jenburton fallen. So jetzt in den Final 2. Und wir werden es öffnen mit Thermite. Let's let's es burn.
00:44:15 I need to see a slow-mo on what KCP just did to Oblivion. They decimated them, but with our last two squads disguised now, turning things around, they are your Game 1 winners. We talk about some changes in this lineup, and QZ are coming through with the rest of this team to make the magic happen for Game 1. That's quite impressive for DSG. We knew they needed to show out today. Now, think of this, right? They landed Trident. We were talking about all the rotations that...
00:44:43 Das war's für heute.
00:44:54 Und in eine sehr fast-faschionale Tiff, wo wir sehen, was die Squats getroffen hat, gegen die Ring. Die Rotated quickly von Trinit. Da war ein Ring-Console, bei Northpad. Wir sind able, die Informationen zu bekommen, und dann placeen sich sehr early auf, um zu avoid all of das Madness, das wir sahen, bevor. Right before all that stuff happened. So, sie wirklich waren able, die Rotate in eine Appropriate-Fashion. So, so they wouldn't be finding themselves pinched in that Final Circle.
00:45:19 That was their 32nd pick, too. So, like, they were already so far down the line in terms of POI draft for Stormpoint because they focused on getting their World's Edge pick in first. And you've got to be feeling good. You're like, okay, well, I'm left with Trident. That's fine. I'll do just good, which makes sense because they're used to playing from North Pad historically, so they know all the rotations from there. Regardless, nice job done there for Disguise.
00:45:42 Und Team Falcon still coming out with a lot of KP to their name. They still weren't, they weren't getting the top three placement, top two at the same time, but with the KP that they were able to accumulate, wouldn't be surprised if they're sitting second overall. Still great showcase, but also highlighting what happens when you split your attention into three different squads that were holding that fence line for us, for his end circle, like Down Beast alone, where there's a lot of open area to the south side of Down Beast. As we take a look at the match results, seeing the team that came out on top.
00:46:12 Disguised with 9 KP2, their name KCP, getting second place. And on top of the third place that Jen was able to get, we were able to get that 10 KP8 to accumulate to the total score.
00:46:24 Ja, das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Ich spreche über die 3 Kp. Sie waren unter dem Down-B, mit Blue Evos für eine Eterneinheit. Und obwohl Oblivion hat diese Angeln und versucht sie zu halten, sie warst mit 3 Eliminations und 8 Punkten. Das ist wirklich nicht schlecht. Dann hast du SSG, die in Checkpoint getrennt. Double-Digit Points für die Match 1. Die Back-Halbe dieser, Furia. Sie haben 5 Eliminations genommen, aber sie wirklich ran.
00:46:53 aus der Zeit und wurde in der Checkpoint geholfen, und nur mit 6. Aber für 7 Matchday, das war so stark für Yupp, hat es nicht wirklich die beste Start hier in Match 1, das ist okay, weil die meisten der Punkte kommen von World's Edge. Ich würde einfach gerne sehen, sie stecken.
00:47:11 Gotta see if it's possible. When you have some of those difficult rotates into a volatile circle like that, you know why so many teams were trying to take the lead with those evac towers. But looking at Disguised and the way that they were able to play around the 4KP from Design, 4KP from QZR, and an enemy coming in on that Seer with 1KP. But following up, lovely here with the assist too. Even with...
00:47:32 Diese 9KP, du kennst das Dumpf auf dem All ist, dass sie sich in eine komfische Position in Stormpoint haben. Oh, ja, das ist alles, Stormpoint ist nicht fertig. Wir sind jetzt einfach gekauft für Nordamerika. Wir werden kurz auf einen kurzen break, und wenn wir wiederholfen werden, in Nummer 2.
00:49:25 The official PC and Monitor Partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
00:49:32 Well, great job casting that last one. DSG off to a great start with Q0, no less, jumping in as well. And Tiff, it's just always fun to see North America shakeups. Match one already done and dusted, but game two underway. Still a lot that can happen here, especially for Group A, who have just five more games left before those regional finals. Let's walk through some highlights, though. Give me your thoughts on how today started. Well, let's just run it back to the break with that trivia. Moist, not moist, moist, moist.
00:50:02 Das war die Highlights. Es war nur die Namen von Downbeast. Und von der zweiten Konsole oder der dritten Konsole. Aber für Disguised. Sie kamen hier. Sie kamen durch den Norden. Und es war wirklich auf. Oblivion.
00:50:20 A lot of work still to be done, but thinking about what is possible with DSG here
00:50:46 Just 15 points overall. Two big wins, something like we've seen for Yuff. Well, that could put them into the position. Definitely for Regional Finals, maybe to qualify. But it would have to be, obviously, a continued dominant performance. They're off to the right start, though. They do play tomorrow as well. And if you want to play, check out the Challenger Circuit. It is open for registration. Closes on July 17th.
00:51:13 The games will take place July 20-22. Visit Battlefy.com slash ALGS to sign up. Tiff, we've been doing a lot of hype about that. Always love a good Challenger Circuit. I do. I used to catch Challenger Circuit back in the day. Me, Dia, Zephyr. We saw a lot of names coming from there. And you just see, you get a lot of roster changes where people try to just figure out kind of what their trio is going to be. And the journey really just begins there. And trying to make a name for yourself. We've seen a lot of heavy-hitting teams.
00:51:43 Ich glaube, es ist wirklich cool. Es ist immer so einfach. Es ist immer so einfach. Es ist immer so einfach. Es ist immer so einfach. Es ist immer so einfach. Ich glaube, es ist einfach so einfach.
00:52:08 Und ich bringe ihn auch, weil wir hatten eine Chance zu interviewieren und sagen, dass mein Traum war zu sein, dass sie auf der Landstage sind. Aber jetzt mit Trojan ist es eine Chance. Es ist eine Chance. Und so sehen die Traum werden die Realität nicht nur für dich, aber für deine Familie und die Leute, die Leute, die sagen, wow, das ist real. Ich definitiv nicht verstehe die Depth von was du war, zu spielen. Es ist einfach so großartig zu sehen, dass die Geschichte passieren wieder und wieder und wieder und wieder. So, wir sehen uns die Dinge weitergehen.
00:52:37 Ich glaube, es ist DSG. Und ich war ein bisschen baffelte bei dem Swap für Timmy. Es war nicht mit mir, aber natürlich Timmy hat gesprochen. Und ich denke, DSG zu finden das Rhythm, das, wenn sie am besten waren, war es wie ein Team, Tiff, das wirklich war, war zu joinen, der Echelon von Apex. Eine der vier oder fünf Namen, die wir mentionieren, wie sie gewinnen können.
00:53:05 It's now a new start. It's hopefully a fresh start for Enemy InDesign and still a team that I think has a lot of fans and a great org in support for them as they move forward.
00:53:16 No, I mean, I think those are all really good shouts, right? You think back historically, I've been keeping tabs on Enemy for a really long time now. I mean, he played on Atlanta Premier alongside Hill and Crook. Crook's still in it today as well, just on a different team. And it's cool to see them all kind of go their separate paths. But Enemy has really done a heck of a lot to make a name for himself, that historic run that they had on that prior roster. And now it's kind of like, yeah, you may feel like this is a step back.
00:53:43 für den Zeitpunkt. Aber es könnte nur einen Schritt zurück und dann vielleicht ein paar Schritte weitergehen. Und das ist wirklich was ich für sie. Und das ist so ein Teil der Dynamik von Team Compositions. Ich weiß, dass ich gesagt habe, dass ich ein Tournament gemacht habe, aber die Wahrheit ist, dass man die Dinge in diesen Environments, und ich war da und es war Quads, wir haben ein Pro-Igls jeden Tag.
00:54:11 was how important to keep the good energy flowing it was for a team to not so you lose you lose suddenly it's silent you know what to say you might feel responsible that that was maybe my case a player might feel like i'm you know i don't want to say it but i'm getting a little frustrated how you how you navigate those things sometimes is more important than the level of skill that you have on your team and that could have been also with dsg a chance to say
00:54:38 Well, now let's create a new environment here. Maybe the tone, maybe the way that we work together, it's going to work out a little bit more here. And so you got to hope that hopefully one of those things ends up moving forward in the right direction for them.
00:54:51 Yeah, you love all that for Flat. You've got them on your screen right now. And we did get a look at where that circle was inevitably pulling to, right? We had Down Beast right off the rip in match number one. And well, we shore up over the majority of Checkpoint and now have found multiple teams calling Checkpoint home.
00:55:11 The only issue I have with this zone is if you remember historically, we had something very similar and it pulled to Grav Cannon outside of Cito. And I would hate for something like that to happen here. Sometimes these early picks as well can be so difficult. A lot of teams will hedge their bets and just sit somewhere close enough to either location. Some teams though, they'll go all in and try to hold it down. Speaking of SSG, a team that to me has stood out the most.
00:55:40 This season, especially being in a group with Falcons, has just been phenomenal. Zainu, Koifel and Phony. And it's not just that experience, but also youth. They have a lot of upside on this team. SSG taking their rotation in now. Gonna grab this Evo Cash on the way. As they know where Zona is, they're trying to take a northern route to it. But a lot of talent here in North America. And...
00:56:05 This is kind of the way it's been. We were surprised when we didn't see a North American win at LAN, TIFF. I'm sure North America is eager to get back up on that stage and hoist that trophy in Germany.
00:56:17 Well, now if you don't have the reigning LAN champs from Split One Playoffs coming to defend their title, it really opens the door to see who can stand up and claim that championship. But for Disguise to open things up with a Match One win, it would be really cool and very on brand of them to make a last minute showing to a LAN event. So if they could find themselves based off today and tomorrow into the Regional Finals, we've seen them clutch up Match Point. Granted, that was alongside Timmy as well, but the new...
00:56:47 Das neue Roster hat eine sehr gewisse Probleme zu tun. Sie haben das nächste Ring Information. Wir haben Tridents für Rotation. Und ich bin wirklich interessiert, wo sie spielen wollen. Und es sieht aus wie sie wollen, hier in der Chokepoint. Das ist gut und alles, aber wenn man Native vielleicht mit einem Rotate-On in hat, haben sie wahrscheinlich bereits Sighted. RKN, Snipe Down, Rambo.
00:57:08 I heard RKN on a Gibraltar as well. I mean, we saw that earlier in APAC North. It's just amazing. The diversity again, and what a shout out. You guys mentioned it. It's worth just saying, probably the most diverse we've seen these last few weeks in the ALGS. And I feel like we keep saying that as well. So big shout outs to the design team and everyone who's helping keep things interesting. Liquid Alienware, Yanya, Niazul, and Jaguar sitting up on top.
00:57:33 Great spot for KP. Very, very powerful position. They've got the Pathfinder as well to get up there nice and early in the fuse. So it's going to be a difficult one if you try to pass through there. They're holding that southern west side right by Mill. Very, very comfortably.
Fuse-Taktiken und Strategische Überlegungen im Apex Legends Pro League
00:57:49
00:57:49 It's kind of interesting because every Fuse player I've been looking at, when it comes to their level 3 perks, right? As soon as you get purple shields, do you knock in the Knuckle Hustler or Reckless? Now, especially when you have so many Fuses in the lobby, and we've already talked about how much they love nade spamming, Reckless gives you that negative 50% on the explosive damage, which I thought would be more viable. But we've been seeing other people, it's kind of like split, right? Locking in the Knuckle Hustler, which gives you the speed boost. And the other reason I'm saying that is because that's what Jaguar is locked in. So if we hit someone with that Knuckle...
00:58:18 We get that speed boost, and it seems like he wants to throw it down and get into fights, and I'm ready to see it. To me, I think it's more just that moment that you do hit it, right? If you are in need of a little bit of speed, I think it's about 30% what Bangalore gets with their double time passive, that can be the difference between staying alive and dying, right? Especially in a lobby like this, getting aggressive, you've got to make that rotation. A little bit of speed could save your life, but so could explosive damage. It's a toss-up, but...
00:58:47 The way I look at it is Knuckle Hustler, I can control if I'm hitting that. And minus 50% explosive damage, you kind of already have to be in a bad situation for that to take effect. And generally, I don't love things that work only when things are going really badly. That's just generally how I kind of consider it. Because it means you're not in a good situation anyways. So, you know, you don't need benefits. But, you know, to each their own.
00:59:14 I think it's because I have just like the risk management inside me. It's like, what do I need to do? And then you see that circle come to fruition, right? We thought we were going checkpoint last game. We pull all the way out to down B. So Furia have set up shop in that same position that they took in match number one. But this time it could actually pay off for them. Now teams like SSG, teams like Falcons, they're going to have to work their way in and Stallions will have to make a play from the south side. Now I'm keeping my eyes on Albreleli.
00:59:43 in particular, on that path, knowing what perk he got, because there is a ring console that is still in Mill. They could jive back in, look to get that information, and I'm assuming, yeah, that's what he locked in right there. So they have that information, they know they have to move forward, and it's time to do so.
01:00:01 Well, round two, still 20 teams alive. We've been able to go on some nice conjectures and talking points here at the start of this game because nothing is happening at all. And, well, North America, I think the tension is real because they realize, well, each game here, I mean, now we're looking at one-fifth of the remaining opportunities for me to make my claim, stake my claim for being a part of regional finals, maybe being a part of land, so...
01:00:28 Obviously, everyone treating this with the utmost respect as they should. Team Falcons, Jim Burton taking the role of Seer here on this map. And using that Heartseeker, just trying to get some info on the players above him. Look, the fact that we were able to walk in through this checkpoint...
01:00:46 Ja, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, das ist, äh,
Intensive Kämpfe und strategische Zonenrotationen in der ALGS
01:01:15
01:01:15 They're under pressure. Ram gets a shield battery off as well. Albreleli around the corner finds a little bit with the Vol. He's going to get a full knock. And that is beautiful there from Albreleli. The Hemlock doing work yet again. And they're still in the middle of a fight. Exhibits will go down though. So no more information. Will they stay aggressive? They will. And Albreleli goes down just like that. And so does Retsy also. And it's Elevate Gaming who swing when the exhibit ends.
01:01:43 Und clean up Stallions.
01:01:46 That is so wild between C9 Stallions and Elevate, but Elevate need the eliminations. They need to make one heck of a match day number eight for them. They own CEDO Station for the time being, but since the Circle isn't necessarily coming here, we have to figure out what our best course of action is to get out of here and get deeper into Checkpoint. You look at all the options, we've got that tunnel where Weave has occupied themselves. NRG are electing to hit the EVAC tower and find themselves further on in.
01:02:16 Interesting. It's a good wrap in a way, but what they don't know is there's another team making the same wrap from the other side, and it's SSG.
01:02:38 This should be interesting here. NRG, they're gonna be able to probably win this if they can land and get their medkits, because if they can do that, SSG has to be coming in here with less health than what they've got. I'm not sure they're wise to it, though. They might just be looking out for themselves, saying, let's just get up, get out of this choke, and that's exactly what will happen. They'll run under CCE, and SSG will just still be waiting in the zone. And look what Alienware's right behind them, too. What is this?
01:03:03 Schau, Schau, Lai!
01:03:28 Es ist öppet, aber es ist nicht genug. Zynouk, Koi. Ich spreche Fortitude 9.8, auf Liquid Alienware. Und ich sage euch, das ist ein Massive Element, das Seer bringt, das Bloodhound nicht. Reptar, Fun. Und Nock, sie haben die einfache Spiel. Sie wussten nicht, dass jemand hinter sie war, aber sie wussten, dass sie zu der Highgren. So jetzt können sie Spoiler spielen.
01:03:54 If they want to, but they're still looking forward. They're going towards Zone. Nock, he's going to lose Reptar, and he's alone. Now he's silenced as well. Doesn't have the ability to throw the ultimate or a smoke, which could save fun. He's got to use bullets to try to get it. He hits a few, but it may not be enough, Tiff.
01:04:11 Yo, this is going south way too quickly. Reptar get pieced apart by Ativan and a Helmlock at midrange, and now Nock is going under fire from the top of Checkpoint. We do have some trees to work with, but the chances of us recovering Fun and Reptar are going to be a very tall task. Temper does fall, thanks to some help there from SSG. But job's not done, and well, DSG, they're running into some issues as well. We saw them set up in this choke one, but they never actually made it.
01:04:37 into cascade you love to see the amped up sentinels but when you're trying to take down a team on a trident there's only so much you can do especially running into the same issues that knock did right opening yourself up to angles that can be taken from above great pressure with the sentinel i mean there's a chance but it's kind of like the one in dumb and dumber you know one in a million probably not going to be happening to get that team back esg designful just they have to go solo
01:05:05 Hier ist Laser und Dynastie, keepin'em Honest. Nicht risking der Position, though. E8. They're running through this choke. Another battle of the chokes. It's just been an element of this game. It started off slow, but now it is jumped up to high speed. How are they gonna get through this one?
01:05:24 Oh, they're gonna nade. They are gonna nade. Unleash the remaining six frags into that tunnel, please. But you do have Weave that's gonna be trying to make a standoff. You have 50 seconds before that ring starts to close in, but you need to make this as quick as humanly possible. Already showing up on that focus of attention, so your abilities are going to be silenced for now, and Slayer just takes the brunt of the damage. It's gonna be a tough one, but Elevate needs to get through them.
01:05:51 Meanwhile, Falcon's also in the middle of a fight, and this one's with Yup. And Furia says, I like the sound of this. Let me get involved. So now three teams. Furia chasing Falcons as well. Jin Burton, not even on a red. Man, terrible. Falcons obviously putting a lot of damage in as well. Almost full armors for them all. And this is the fight we were just seeing. Elevate make their move, and it works. It goes down.
01:06:16 Three in a row, and that's Zach Mazur and Elevate cleaning up that fight, pushing through Weave, and they'll get the reset.
01:06:23 Those are the only kind of Mazer moments I thoroughly enjoy, when Mazer can clutch up for the squad. That is the new era. We saw that trajectory go through, Elevate coming through some roster changes, playing with this team throughout Split 2, and I need to see them in Regional Finals. We've got to get off the bubble. However, yes, we win the battle of the tunnel, but it's a real war that we've got to get through. Oblivion. We've already thrown down the Motherlow, trying to just isolate off.
01:06:52 Aber die Tark Vail kommt durch und...
01:06:56 Was that Akimbo's wall? Yeah, I think that was maybe a mistake from Akimbo there. He kind of shuts off Blink's ability to pressure Elevate. And I think Elevate get away because of that. And Akimbo actually goes down. That might have just been a miscommunication. Maybe not great timing there. But Elevate will live at least for now. DSG will fall as well. And Blink's still alive. He's lost too. In the zone, he gets that medkit off. But it would have hurt. And now...
01:07:23 Elevate will make it in safely and Blink under pressure. Yeah, I think that was 100% a misplay, so good shouts there. But Elevate Gaming, they do get the energized zipline rotation before the Falcons essentially cut them down. And here goes Zero. He sights out Blink and he's like, all right, well, we're just going to clear out the entire south side. Well, maybe we'll keep rotating out, right? Flat, they've got the next building just to our west. So we send out Zero. We send out Hal in a little 2v3 situation with Jen kind of anchoring from behind.
01:07:52 Furia also have been very active. Keon, Vaxelon, and Omadness. They've been threatening. Falcons did force Falcons to rotate. I think they found a nice building, but they may still be looking for KP. Falcons are definitely on the hunt. They're going to look to try to find Flak. Furia content to stay here, but maybe not for long. SSG jumping into that one. Here's Falcons jumping up yet again onto Flak. Three reds, seven squads left. Only three kills, but look at add more to the tally here. Okay.
01:08:20 There's one. Get the knock straight onto Mamba. And you can run, you can hide, but you are not gonna get away just yet. You're prolonging the inevitable and Zero is on the chase. Flak eliminated.
Dominanz von Alton's und Furia's Triumph in Spiel 2
01:08:33
01:08:33 Alton's, they just don't give you a lot of chances, do they? I mean, geez. Very, very aggressive. Always looking for it, and why not? I mean, you've got the three most winning LAN players individually there. You combine them. That's the reason they're called a super team. And they keep proving it day in and day out. They have stayed hungry. That is one thing you cannot say they have not done. They have stayed hungry.
01:08:58 And they're continuing to do well here in game number two. SSG also having a little bit of a moment. CCE, Yup, and Most Hated round out our five squads here. And also FURIA to make our last six tiff as we head into Zone 5, about to close.
01:09:14 Yeah, I really love where Furia has positioned themselves, kind of in that catwalk, where the Survey Beacon is above all of these teams. Now Falcons from the low ground are gonna get all this pressure from CCE. We talked about the Legend diversity. Well, this squad with the Rampart, Loba, throwing down the Amped covers. We got the Bojack, but can we get Kape back into cover? We have to do what we can, and we're trying to connect those, but not with the Knuckle Clusters coming in from HAL. It is making things a little difficult to deal with.
01:09:42 CCE, Trevstax, he has been a man of loyalty. Rampart, every single game, whether it's in Content Creator Tournaments, whether it's in the Challenger Circuit, or whether it is in the ALGS. Rampart, again, makes another top five, and it's courtesy of that man and that squad right there, and they get the win. However, that's the question. Furia on the high ground. Himlock and Havoc meta still has not shifted, at least not shifted much.
01:10:09 Very much dissimilarly to how we've seen the Legend meta shift so drastically. Zero, he goes down, but he gets a lot of damage. This is them going on CCE. They get the cleanup, but they might have to do it as a two now. Yeah, and what cost? Zero goes down. Not fooled just yet. Furia was looking for angles to see what they can, but I mean, if you're going to punch him straight into the hands of Jen Burton, he said, let there be light, get back up.
01:10:31 Und jetzt werden sie eine absolute Reset bekommen, weil niemand will auf die High-Ground von Checkpoint zu bringen. Das ist Teil der Intelligenz, wo zu pushen, wann zu pushen, warum. Sie wissen das CCE. Ich meine, niemand spielt Rampart wie das. Und sie fühlen sich sicher, dass sie die Rampart gewinnen und Reset gewinnen. Jetzt Fury ist noch auf die High-Ground mit der Pathfinder Mobilität. Die Energize-Zip-Line ist ein bisschen schwerer zu werden und fallen.
01:10:58 But how long can they stay on this high ground as well? It's Falcons who are getting pressured. It might just be Furia going to push Falcons. That would leave it up for SSG to come in and maybe win this game. Alright, SSG, let's see what you can do. Keon grabs that knock.
01:11:11 Und dann geht es auf den anderen Seite. Es ist nur ein Zeitpunkt, bevor sie voll senden. Sie versuchen, genug Knocks auf den anderen Seite zu bekommen. Das ist wo Teams wirklich starten, die Knocks zu sehen, wie viele haben den Weg gebracht. Aber wenn wir sechs Eliminations sind, das könnte sein. Und warum nicht ein Survey Beaconscan nach dem Ende des Spiels zu sehen, wo jeder ist.
01:11:36 Yeah, I think he's getting some Evo shield as well, and that actually puts Madness onto a red. So that's so interesting, because you're gonna get that for your team, you do have the ability now to have that extra little bit of armor that might make the difference. Furia, here in a good spot.
01:11:50 But when are they gonna drop? Falcons is gone, SSG do that. Sometimes it's not a good thing to drop, but they drop under cover, and Keon hits everything! So we thought it might be an even match here, but I don't think so. It's a furious performance from Furia, and it looks like with that KP, it'll make it a 2v2. SSG has to pull a rabbit out of the hat, and it could just be Zainu doing it, he gets one!
01:12:16 Das ist genau das was sie wollten das 1-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-
01:12:37 Das war's für ALGS.
01:12:56 Sometimes when you're competing, too, it helps to have stuff. You never want to set it up this way, but when your mind is focused on all these other things and you don't even have time to think too much about the game, you just go in there and you're very focused. You're very streamlined because you haven't been able to mentally worry about stuff. You haven't been able to overdo. You know, sometimes you can overstudy for something, and I think when you just go in and you're in a right mental state, yes, things are happening in real life, but like, hey.
01:13:22 I have no control. I gotta just play. It can help relax you. And so whether that's really the case, whether I'm just talking it up, either way, Fury will get the results that they're looking for, no matter what setup they're playing on. And that's a dub in game number two. Yeah, love to see that. Nine eliminations. And then you move on down. SSG, who started on the low ground and had Falcons on that opposing side. They all walk away with decent points. A 17-point game for SSG. 16-13 Falcons. But because we have the majority...
01:13:51 The eliminations in the top three doesn't leave a lot for our other squads. Most hated in CCE. Yes, they're going to round out the top five, but the most elims outside of that are going to be flat and native gaming. And then you jump all the way down here. Elevate gaming with eight. This could have been the game that they were waiting for, fighting their way through the tunnel, but could not get out of there. That was tough.
01:14:16 Das war schwer zu sehen. Ein paar kleine Momenten, aber sie haben gut gemacht. Sie haben Weave in einem schweren Spot. Sie wurden getrennt von Falcons als auch. Blink hat sie zu kinder gehalten. Es war schwierig. Aber wir schauen uns auf die Teams, die einplaneten. Furia hat wirklich...
01:14:33 Das war eine gute Arbeit, um sich in eine Position, wo sie nicht mehr haben zu tun hat, aber es gab einen Schaden. Und Keon, er hat sich definitiv den Top-Damage-Leader in diesem Top-Damage-Leader in diesem Top-Damage-Leader. SSG, Zainu, almost popped off. Ich dachte, dass er vielleicht vielleicht er was zu tun. Und natürlich, Falcons rounden es. Das wird Ihr Top-Damage-Leader in der Reverse-Order, für zwei Games-Gone, mit DSG und Flatt rounden die Top-Damage-Tiff.
01:15:00 Das ist ziemlich solid, richtig? Die Falcons haben nicht gewonnen, aber haben gewonnen, genug Eliminations und Konsistenz zu setzen, sich auf den Leaderboarden zu setzen. Führer und SSG Tiede und Disgüse hat das Match 1 gewonnen, und es ist halt eine gewünschte Zeit, aber wer ist es? Ich meine, es ist nur zwei Matches gemacht. Nur zwei Matches gemacht, vier mehr zu gehen. Die Group A-Versus-C Showdown continues mit Game 3, nach dem Break.
Strategische Spielzüge und Zonenkontrolle in Storm Point
01:17:01
01:17:01 What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Apex Legends Global Series. North America time, and we're just about to get underway with that final Storm Point map, Vicky.
01:17:17 Es wird großartig, und die Falken noch leidt den Weg. Ich weiß nicht, ob das ist, dass es ein Falken von Falken ist, wo es nicht über die Dumpf ist, es geht um den K.P. als wir sehen uns die Highlighten Momente aus dem Ende, denn es war FURIA. Die FURIA endlich answering ihre own call, auf der Highground, bevor sie auf der Highground fallen. Aber es war die Falken von Falken zu bewegen, um das Lowground zu bewegen, um sich in das letzte, Final Circle zu bewegen. Ich weiß, du hast die Apex Bat-Call gesagt, aber wie du es schnallst?
01:17:46 Ich bin jetzt hier, FURIA! Es ist Zeit! Es hat zu sein. Es hat zu sein. Es hat zu sein. Es hat zu sein, für FURIA hier. Ich weiß, dass wir nicht nur FURIA haben, aber wir wissen, dass wir das Potenzial haben, die das Squad hat für uns. Also, es ist eine große Zeit, die hier auf der Ende des Final-Circle zu bringen. Sie hat ihre Aufmerksamkeit von beiden Seiten. Aber es ist sehr gefährlich. Es war ein 2v2 am Ende, aber Spacestation spielt das sehr patiently.
01:18:16 What a clean win. Now we kind of refresh on where our POI draft drop spots occurred there.
01:18:25 Für Stormpoint. Furia kommt von der Wall. Zeus Station nicht wirklich gut für Yupp. Aber ich sagte es schon mal, ich bin nicht zufrieden über ihre Stormpoint. World's Edge ist, wo sie die Mehrheit der Punkte bekommen. DCE macht ein guter Spiel von Command-Senator. Und von Checkpoint. Und gehen die Distance. Ich würde gerne sehen sie ein paar Eliminations für das letzte Mal. Now, Vicky, ich muss mich fragen.
01:18:52 Every time we cast together, we get a lot of similarities in the zones, despite the changes. We went Down Beast, we went Check Point. Where are we going for match number three? You know what? At least it's not those Echo HQ zones. I know you remember that. I know you remember that, Tiff. We've had them all the time. But it's at least, you know, been a little bit of diversity. Maybe not today in these final zones. But I'm banking on a Southern Zone, Tiff. I can't tell you whether it be Southeast or Southwest, but I can sense a Southern Zone incoming, which would be fantastic.
01:19:21 für die lighten von T-Law, Stallions, vielleicht sogar KCP. Und jetzt geht's jetzt mit unserem letzten Spiel auf Stormpoint, bevor wir auf World's Edge gehen.
01:19:35 All right, so for the teams that have found themselves outside the top five, or maybe you're not even really within graphs of the regional finals and this is your last play day. Let's convert here. I'd rather see it on the third and fourth matches of the day as opposed to the last two. But for Furia, who just took that match win, hailing from the wall, we look at the resources that they have to start with. They were blessed with not one Evo Cash, but two.
01:20:02 All right, benefiting not only off of that, and we know that since they do like to split up where one member of Furia always usually tries to scan the Survey Beacon into those southern buildings, that neighbor's wall, now they have a ring console. So you got the Evo Harvesters on both sides, you got the ring console, a Survey Beacon. Talk about getting boosted with those Evo Shields early game to start off Furia's rotation.
01:20:24 The Apex gods have definitely blessed Fury after that win for sure. And now we're going to extend out there. Make sure we can grab the assault bin as well. Look, they're just really killing that. And honestly, Vicky, I was thinking about it because the new POI draft this year, I had no idea what to expect when we came and do it on match day number two. That's the last time I've been on the broadcast and I've just been waiting, watching, and I'm just like, it is so crazy to see how it changes the game. And that's why I can't wait to talk to our halftime guest later today so we can like pick.
01:20:52 Their brains about it, but you said it. You said we were going south. We are. There's no way. There's no way. You said, oh my God, you said. There's no way. I'm hoping. I'm hoping.
01:21:05 Das ist es nicht. Ich sage das, weil ich mit dem Circle habe, wenn du und D.A. beat Gaskin und ich, in guessing die Final Zonen, okay? Of course, of course. Ich blame Dan, by the way. Aber wir sahen Circles wie dieses und sie komplett verändert in die komplett opposite direction von was wir expecting. So vielleicht haben wir ein Similar Circle wie dieses, wo es könnte pull by the bridge of NRG. Und sie haben eine Survey Beacon und Ring Console in der Playoff. So they'll definitely have that information. Whereas Teams like Oxygen...
01:21:35 We who are now floating in through the evac tower only have that survey beacon right there by Echo HQ.
01:21:40 So that's where you wanted to go. Bridge by NRG. Alright, she's locked in her choices. Dan can't ruin things for her now. You can't blame Dan after this one. But no, I think that's a pretty solid call. We saw Pylon earlier in EMEA. But when we saw Pylon, it was because the large majority of Pylon was included. And it didn't actually convert all the way down to necessarily Echo and Devastated Coast being inclusive of it. Now NRG has decided.
01:22:08 auf der initialen Reaktion. More towards Echo HQ und CC on your screen. Sie haben eine sehr große Rotation durch Devastation.
01:22:19 And, you know, the different types of end circles we've seen on this side, we've also seen it pull towards Devastated. Although this circle obviously isn't on top of Devastated, and it's more so pulling over to the side. It could also be on the outskirts of Echo HQ by the bins north side of where we saw Oxygen originally. But this could also benefit the likes of CCE, depending on the way that they situate themselves on this high ground, since they are the only team rocking that Rampart. Shout out to Trev, actually, who is...
01:22:49 Ooh.
01:23:02 You're not wrong. But for SSG, who's found themselves in a really nice position for the day on that series results, be curious to see what they decide to do here. But the Battle of the North is currently going down. HAL all the way out on that eastern side of this fight with FURIA just ahead of them. Now they've rotated out from the wall and are still meeting here at Zeus because of the information that Zeus has here. You've got a Replicator. You've got a Ring console. You've got a lot of things that are viable to teams this early.
01:23:31 Auf Wiedersehen.
01:23:47 Pretty much the best bet for them. Yeah, calling out the Wildlings, it would rather just not even take that fight, right? They're just going to end up rotating away from the wall on the north side of this map and now are going to try to see if they could beat Falcons because considering the fact that Falcons are right there in Sioux Station, they could get the information with the beacon that's there while also taking the balloon, the tallest balloon that you could ever beat on top of in Apex to close out that distance on the north side of Storm Point. While the action over to the south side here, Tiff, this is what we're expecting. There's about...
01:24:16 Five, six teams right now that have already situated themselves closer to Echo HQ. Yeah, you've got Vanity right here with the Trident playing along the rocks. And they tried to make that rotation into Echo. And they ran into a force that's going to be Elevate Gaming. We know how crazy Elevate likes to play in this early rounds, right? They're known for picking up multiple eliminations. And honestly, this one's going to go to KCP because Jett has just decided to...
01:24:41 Absolutely destroy them with the Knuckle Clusters and the onslaught of the Arc Stars that are coming through. You know what? Why not even bestow the Mother Lode upon them? They're forced to expend the Dark Veil and try to cover those line of sights. But what occurs is that hungriness that Elevate has for KP. They swing knowing that they're vulnerable and just clean it on up. And they know that there's another team on the other side that was helping them, which was KC.
01:25:06 SPACP, closer to the EBAC Tower side of Coastal. While now, through a choke, FLAT find themselves in a fight here, looking at the teams that may be coming through Jurassic, the Stallions that were looking to take some shots at them before they ended up rotating away on a Trident. And while FLAT are also looking to see if they can get into Pylon, it is only Space Station Gaming that are in the middle of Pylon that are camping that beacon.
01:25:31 So we're going to just be like, nah, I'm not going. All right, flat, hitting the long rotation to wrap around maybe towards that launch pad side. I see that we're being weary and we're trying to determine if anyone's on the other side, but I respect the cautiousness. But let's turn our sights back to Devastated Coast, Vicky. CCE is still on this high ground platform building. Native has moved into one of the lower buildings. But the question is, where do we pull? You get that third.
01:26:00 Oh, the information that comes from someone having the ring console for the third scan. And well, that would help you save a lot because that Echo HQ migration coming out of there is going to be atrocious.
01:26:13 I'm pretty sure we've seen CCE with a very similar plan, calling out this circle, pulling on the outskirts of that big rock that's north of NRG that you currently see Oblivion rotating to. And it benefits the way that they play since they are going to settle down for end circle with the Loba Black Market doing the rest of the work, which is why they rotate very quickly to avoid having to waste any time on picking up the loot that they may need to situate themselves in a circle like this. But they're on the edge of the circle alongside Yup, while Oblivion will be in the middle of-
01:26:43 Ich weiß nicht, ob wir einfach nicht nehmen, oder ob wir einfach einfach nutzen können.
01:26:57 ...for other things, but in the time being, overboard on Falcons, still very far north. Knowing that they hail from Lightning Rod, they're going to have one of the longest rotations when it comes to those southern zones on Storm Point. We kind of touched on that, but they've been mirroring Furia for like the longest time ever. They're not that far ahead of them. So Fury's going to have to decide, do we want to go through Jurassic and carve our path towards Pylon, or do we cut towards the east and go more to those no-name...
01:27:27 und kommen durch Launchpad.
01:27:30 Lots of opportunities here from that northern rotate, because there is no other squad, right, in that northern side other than Furia and then flat holding the edge of the circle here. So they'll be able to take their time and maybe even prioritize some evil harvesters or a ring console if they want some extra information before these next 10 seconds allows that next ring to close. Liquid Alienware on full blues, still playing off that South Echo XQ side. It doesn't look like they were able to get the ring console info. So they're waiting here, seeing if it does end up pulling towards that.
01:28:00 Okay.
01:28:06 Liquid Alienware down there on that most further side outside of Echo HQ. But to get ahead of that rotation and be just on the inside of the next circle, it's going to be a coveted one that a lot of teams are going to look to vie for. But I'm curious to see if we can stand off in that moment for Elevate Gaming. We saw them pick up some early eliminations, but only found two. Now on the outside looking in, they could go rather unnoticed and try to swing through the south.
01:28:35 But I'd be curious to see how they approach it. Luxford's got the Zip, so we can use it for some rotations, but I think they want more KP.
01:28:44 Er wird bereits starten auf gleiche hier. Und wenn man die anderen Teams beherrschen kann, dann kann man das einfach clean das für free. Aber es geht auf die Weise, dass die Schuads auf der Nord sind, also wird das Neck-Circle spielen. Sie haben auch das Survey-Beacon hier, zu wissen, wo alle anderen Teams sind. Und wo sie sich die Schuhe beherrschen werden, und wo sie werden die Schuhe beherrschen werden, und wo sie werden die Schuhe beherrschen werden. Halberlele, auf die Grapper. Huge Beams, aber auch noch einen 1-1. Kann man den Last-Hit-Fire-Shot? Ja, er macht das. 2 Knocks von Halberlele, bevor er ist geholfen. Nehmen Sie ein help.
01:29:13 von Ram to follow up. And Russi, just crawling, trying to get back.
01:29:18 Das ist round 2. So you can tank this a bit easier than maybe later.
01:29:47 Da geht's der Knockdown! Da geht's der Full! Und wir werden Knockt, Alblast-Standing!
01:29:52 And Alberlele was trying to hold an off angle to at least help out with some pressure. But something that he noted a little late was that there was a third party waiting in the distance inside the circle, which is Disguised. Looking currently at the last member of Most Hated. Now Alberlele looking to see if he can at least try to get a reset on his Noct friend. And if they can at least try to wrap around if they have the time to rotate in the direction of Elevate. But Disguised are just going to take free ring over this without even having to overcommit the circle.
01:30:20 Yeah, this is going to be tough, right? You've got the path for mobility. Hopefully someone does have an evac tower to really give them that trajectory to rotate across from Echo. But even then, I'm just curious of where you decide to go for a playable space. Most Hated does fall. We've still only lost two squads and they've actually jumped back into the zone to look for more KP. You've got the remaining member of Stallions out here going rogue, trying to hit that reset like you said, but he's just running for it.
01:30:48 Good luck chasing after Apathy, though, especially if you want to try to commit to a circle like this. Design would be the next close one to try to actually commit. But do you want to do that when you know you've already taken control over the choke that leads into Echo? Absolutely not. So he backs away. He ends up going with the rest of his squad to see what their next plan is and just letting Albert Lely survive the best way that he can outside the circle. You know, Albon Path is just something that hits the nostalgia, let me just tell you. I've watched him play Path.
01:31:16 Das war's für heute.
01:31:32 I was still happy for him. You were hyping it up here, too. We were expecting to see some magic happen, some rendezvous of what was waiting for us in the back end, but waiting for them inside this building. Space Station, Koi getting burned by the Thermite, having to back away with the shield battle.
01:31:47 Okay, Zainu, we've seen some clutch moments come out of you from SSG, but now you've got to fend off Furia on the opposing side, and they're not the only ones that are going to be looking to capitalize on this. Koi goes to the farthest area of the building and just plays the doorway, hitting that medkit back into the fray. We're expending the Rolling Thunder, and then you've already got two exhibits out. You have Furia and SSG towards the right, Native and Falcons on the left.
01:32:12 Falcon's taking a lot of damage, but the numbers are stacked in their favor, and there's a very good chance they could look for a moment to push into this separate fight. Can they do it here, though, with that information from the Seer, or are they gonna respect this space inside this building? Because fighting this out between Furia and Space Station, you know that there's probably a team or two teams waiting for you on the building side or the bridge side. Baxalon gets beamed, and they're gonna be holding their lives by the door.
01:32:36 The focus of attention connects and now Vaxlan cannot use anything. Keon here waiting to see a little dance with the door. I wouldn't be surprised if we look for a different angle, right? That's what Pathfinder really allows you to do and takes to the roof. Catches one off guard. Madness on the inside goes down. Well, that's courtesy of the Eva A. Gets fooled and now Vaxlan Keon have to avenge the fallen.
01:33:03 Oh man, drops down here too, but he's getting pinged on the other side. It is that Seertak that is also putting in some pressure. This zipline created for RKN to also see if he could try to get a reset. Get out of all the action, because guess who dropped down? It is Falcons making an appearance in that building. RKN said, I'm out. Disguide with only design left. Could only do so much when he's getting shot at from three different directions.
01:33:28 Route 9 has fallen, Disguise has fallen. We're in the top 10 and Elevate are doing what they do best, finding those early to mid-game eliminations. And now we've got to focus on, with that 20 seconds remaining before the ring decides to close, what we can do to get ourselves into that devastated coast area. NRG are going to hold a building just on the outskirts of that ring and are keeping them in their sights for FURIA.
01:33:52 Vaxlon and Kion. Well, let's get some ult excels. Let's get our abilities up and we'll see what happens. But for now, we're okay. We just have to hide from the Falcons when you have Jen Burton on Seer and he's likely hunting it out. They don't know. Falcons doesn't know that they're right next to them. They're waiting behind the tree as Falcons are trying to see if they can get on this high ground. They put out the evac tower right next to them. They have no idea that they're about to jump right here and maybe even Fury can jump right behind them using the same evac.
01:34:22 You got the Mortar Flare coming out from Hal. There it goes. It's gonna take all the information. And oh, here we go. You said Furia. They didn't know. Well, Furia is answering back. Keon gets cracked. Jen cracked as well. Forced back to the low ground. Not able to lay siege to where Flat has positioned themselves.
01:34:40 And now with the Motherload being called in and currently Falcons trying to reset, they've allowed Furia to now reset too as a duo taking a different position, avoiding Flak that is on the high ground, overlooking Falcons before they can still maintain the high ground. The only team that has that slight lip in that next circle. Okay, Liquid Alien, where I...
01:35:01 So NRG did what we thought they were going to do. They gatekeep, elevate, they take them down. Don't get the full reset though. And Liquid Alienware answer back with that exhibit of their own and completely piece apart NRG. And what does Falcons do? Well, they're like...
01:35:19 Oh, there's fighting over there. Let me go extend on out and see what's going on. But Zero may have just overextended. I don't know if he went down, but his name definitely just disappeared from the free cam. And Jen is one for what it looks like as they're playing inside of that circle currently. We know that there's some rocks to play off of, but they're in the line of sight of Flat. Fury is still looking at them and Liquid Alienware from inside this armory have some different angles that they could take while utilizing the lip of this ledge to stay out of the line of sight.
01:35:48 ...double zipline... ...on both sides of the right part of the Armory. Well, all is well for the Falcons in first place. Still looking for more eliminations. Only two so far, despite all of the action they have found themselves in. Now, Genburton under fire from the Angles. Not a lot of cover here, but we've got a couple boxes to work with. Liquid Alienware, after dealing with NRG, have decided to rotate on in.
01:36:11 The deal was flat who's just towards their north so wrapping down south for liquid is going to be more tough but it's closer towards that circle
01:36:20 Looking at this next circle and how they're going to force their way in. Let's not forget CCE is also around here. Aguadis now knocked. Only up to Yanya, who's taking a different angle currently. They know exactly where he's at thanks to that Seertak. And he's neighboring the Motherload. He gets beamed and destroyed by that Volt. Gen Burden now left one after overextending HAL and Zero. The last one's alive here from Falcons trying to get out of the line of sight of the team that have high after CCE also get eliminated.
01:36:47 I mean, Jen was probably anchoring for Hal and Zero in that moment, right? So now the dynamic duo of themselves are going to have to answer back for what Flat just did to them. Because yes, you are just in that next zone barely, but you've got a rock and you don't have your high ground. Those focus of attentions are going to keep on coming from Flat, and you love that pressure coming out of them. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a full send from Big Louie. We just want to wait to get those Knuckle Clusters back online. We have four Thermites to work with.
01:37:16 für das nächste Engagement. Es ist verrückt, wie Flatt hat das Rotate von Checkpoint North und ist jetzt auf der Highbron in was ist die Godspot. Sie haben hier zu verabschieden. Sie haben 4 K.P., und das ist die Team, die für die Dubs sind in 24th overall, mit 32 points. Looking zu sehen, ob sie mehr K.P. sind auch bei K.P. und Falcons als Duo.
01:37:42 32 points. Now granted, because of the Point Sponge on the Series leaderboard coming into today, even 10 points would bring them up to 16th place. And we'll see how it goes. Flat full sending that dynamic duo taking out.
01:37:56 The Falcons putting themselves in the top three. Now, how do we try to contend with this? Because we are all on polar opposites, looking like the Bermuda Triangle over here at the Devastated Coast. Pioneers, they have a shrivel left of their building. Same with Yup, but they have so much more cover than Slat does.
01:38:14 Und die Entscheidung von Flatt war so gut, weil sie wissen, dass sie jetzt die Cirkel ist, wenn sie weitergekommen sind, sie werden nur geimpft haben, dass die Duell war da, als Team Falcon. So sie haben einen Vorteil, und jetzt schauen, dass sie die Gap haben, als KCP, mit Justeidz, in der Geburt, hat seine Team-Mate zu wrapen, hinter ihm, Eliminating Flatt. Es ist jetzt unsere letzten zwei Spiele zwischen KCP und Yupp.
01:38:39 Uh, they just deleted flat, and now Seer comes up with the push. They even get a little bit of a high ground here. We throw down the exhibit. Prodigy Asens gets lit up, and now the Havoc's doing work. Let's go dupe. You've got the trades coming through, and now the push is in. 5 HP in a dream, but Pioneers take match number three. Huge plays here for Pioneers. This is one of the teams that we were looking at for all the right reasons, and now they come out on top after also...
01:39:08 Ja, das war crazy. So all the teams that saw Echo HQ and it really pulled to Devastated Coast. Now, that could be...
01:39:27 Nice to see you there, too, with their patience, because the way that they also were able to help cover D's at the same time when Flat tried to fully extend inside of the building, saying, oh, there's only one in here, free.
01:39:56 KCP held a split position, allowing themselves to take free shots at the backs that were flat. And then they took very minimal damage. It was really just D's that had to reset with a quick evil shield swap. And once that catwalk came up, they were able to rejoin together in a full trio to then contest the other trio that was facing them on the other side. So much chaos, but Stormpoint done and dusted. And from here on out, we'll just worry about World's Edge. So maybe, you know, it's not your strong point for that Stormpoint.
01:40:25 See how it goes on the other side of this series for now it's one of my favorite times I feel like we're gonna have to figure out where rain day is and get him back in here eventually Vicki oh wait I hear a voice coming in here it sounds like speaking
01:40:42 Welcome back, myself. I'm welcoming me back. It is one of my favorite times to come back and join it. After all the fun I see you two having on Endgames like that. It was close. And this is the thing we thought about. Yup, could they do it? Well, they were on their way. Almost got a win. I'll take a second place. It's still possible. Let's see if they can go back to back 50 points in two days and somehow find a way.
01:41:08 ...to get to those playoffs. But Flatt also performing well. They need it. They're sitting in 24th outside of Regional Finals. Falcons, they've got enough points. We already know about them. Furia, CCE, still making it into Top 6. So strong performance as Native Gaming rounding out our Top 10. But on that backside too, we still got some teams... ...who at any point in time could turn it. Especially Tiff, when you look at switching maps now.
01:41:33 Yeah, exactly. For Disguised, only three eliminations. Stallions pick up three. Oxygen and Weave with two, but really not too many points to be acquired here once you move outside the top ten. We're just really getting everything sponged from the teams that have been acquiring a lot of eliminations, but maybe not getting the most of those placement points. Regardless, when we set our attentions over to World's Edge, man, anything can happen. We've got to look at the series results before we get there.
01:42:00 And of course, like you said, it could, on the drop of that, change, Bic, after three though, Falcons in the lead, Pioneer's Fury of SSG and Flat rounding out our top five, but in between that kind of sixth place all the way down to about 11th, just one good game changes it all.
01:42:17 Should be interesting to see who can...
01:42:43 you know step things up consistency it's measured in a lot of different ways well yes on a map yes across match days but in this one particularly you've got to keep up the pace and this also comes into it well let's let's talk about the poi draft you know maybe you're not playing out of your preferred spot staying with momentum and still doing well each game it's difficult to do you would hope someone would have your back uh and maybe even uh you know
01:43:08 I don't have some stats around it. Maybe they've analyzed what and how you can do this as well. In fact, I know the perfect guy to ask about that. It happens to be the analyst of Team Falcons themselves. It's Privacy who's joining us here. Privacy, welcome. I know your team is playing. They're doing well. Thank you for joining us. I know your voice is a little sore, but you're still made it here for a halftime show. Yes, and thank you for having me here. And I'm sorry.
01:43:36 I'm sorry that my voice is completely gone, but it's the weather of Germany. Today is warm. The next day is cold. So that's what happened. Yeah, I'll have to bring a jacket for sure. Mannheim is coming up. You're only a couple hours away. That's exciting. Now, and we'll see if Falcons can make it. I don't know at this point if they'll qualify. Jokes aside, though, privacy, you are an analyst for Falcons. What do you do? What's your role for those who don't?
01:44:04 Maybe know what an analyst does on Apex. Okay. Okay. What analyst does is actually for any petrol and petrol word, the analyst is a very important because petrol has a lot of RNG.
01:44:17 Analyst will work to do this RNG and minimize it. We cannot eliminate the RNGs, but we can minimize it. Plus, we can then get information about teams, teams rotations, our own team, our own team performance on zones, in certain zones, improve them, get some kind of information of how to improve it by studying other teams as well. So such stuff an analyst can do.
01:44:44 I like that, I like that. So how many hours a day would you say that you work on being an analyst? I know you stream, you do watch parties, you do a lot of things out there, and you give out a lot of free information to the Apex community in general. So I got to hear, how many hours a day? Okay, and I have a full-time job as a product manager in robotic and machine vision. I do work in robotic and machine vision as a product manager. So I do around eight hours a week.
01:45:13 für die Team. Aber das ist das was ich. Ich bin bereits mit dem Team für zwei Jahre. In der Beginn habe ich alle meine Tools, all meine Scripts, all meine Software, um alles zu machen. Wenn ich die Informationen über die Daten habe, dann mache ich alles automatisch. Und ich bekomme diese Daten für free. So, acht Stunden a week. Wow.
01:45:35 That is very impressive. To hear more about your background and how that also kind of correlates with elevating a team that is on top. There's so much to dig into this, but Privacy, I want to dig into some of these final zones here for our first three games. I want to dig your brain as an analyst into seeing the consistency that not only your team faces in these top three, top four situations, but the way that teams like Disguise was able to take this first game here.
01:46:00 So, in every zone, the style of fast rotating in the zone is already dead. You cannot really do this type of fast rotating. So what we did, for example, in the first zone, we played for the third beacon. We played for the information of the UAV. We maximized our EVO shields. We tried to, of the information of the UAV, we tried to take the building.
01:46:23 Wir haben uns in Beest, aber wir konnten es nicht bekommen, weil es wurde getötet. Also, wir spielten von der Joke. Wir cleareden all die Checkpoint-Side. Wir haben alle Kiehlungen für frei. Dann kamen wir in, weil wir wussten, dass Chaos wird passieren in bestimmten Sides. Also, wir kamen für das. Wir spielten in bestimmten Spots, die wir konnten. Wir verloren das Spiel, weil die Team versucht uns zu robben, das war flat. Und wir mussten vollkommen auf diese Kampf. So, wir können das K.P. und maximisieren.
01:46:53 So, this is what we played. Yeah, that's exactly. This guy's, sorry. No, no, you're okay. That's exactly what you guys were able to do there, Privacy. And it's interesting to see that going back and forth here. I know that when we were passing over this and seeing this between Reinde and Tiff, they were able to see Furia from the high ground here, where Reinde, you were also able to witness them drop down.
Analyse von Spiel 3 und Ausblick auf zukünftige Spiele
01:47:17
01:47:17 Es war ein Interessant. Das war ein Interessant. Das war ein Interessant. Das war ein Interessant. Das war ein Interessant. Das war ein Interessant. Das war ein Interessant. Tiff und ich hatte eine Chance zu sehen, Zynu. Vielleicht Clutch-It-Up. Ich habe mit Zynu gespielt. Das war ein Interessant. Sehr guter Spieler. Sie wissen, dass SSG sehr gut ist. Aber Furia hat eine bessere Zeit.
01:47:46 Das war die gleiche Sache in Game 3. Sie würden nicht ganz die IMPACT haben. Sie sterben in der 5th spot. Es wäre all Falcons, Tiff. Und dann, letztendlich, wir kommen zu Jupp, um es zu cleanen gegen Flatt. Aber es war ein sehr guter... Ich würde sagen, ein Spiel, wo tatsächlich sie sich in eine gute Position zu gewinnen.
01:48:07 Und dann Jent schwingt. Jent just eats with the damage, takes down flat, and then you have this isolated final fight with Pioneers and Yup. And I really thought Yup was going to be able to convert this. You expend all of your utilities and such, but things just got away from them. Certainly did, Yup. We thought they would come back and find a way.
01:48:28 It's just tough. When you have to turn that much and you're not firing, it's a havoc. We know what that is. KCP will ultimately claim it. You know, it's great to be able to look at these three games and especially now, Privacy, before we let you go, I have to figure out if you as an analyst, besides the Falcons, have any analysis for us as we head into the next map. Do you have a team you think might be worth highlighting? You think we'll perform pretty well over this next swap? Or in your analyst mind, what should we be looking for?
01:48:57 I think Furia will be doing better in the next map. So I guess we can keep an eye on Furia. Plus us, for sure.
01:49:11 Ja, plus you guys, you know, as well. Hey, you know, here's the thing. Thank you so much for spending time with us, Privacy. And guess what? The good news is you're already qualified, Falcons, for Mannheim. You live two hours away, so we expect to see you at that event. Hopefully your voice is feeling a little bit better then. And maybe we'll even have you on the desk, okay? We love the thoughts. Thank you so much for your time today, and good luck to you guys and Falcons for the rest of the tournament. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
01:49:41 So sweet. And, you know, putting in the effort, I've been there with the voice. I think we all have as commentators. Sometimes it's just, you just got to push through it, Tiff. You do, you do. And I really do appreciate privacy jumping on here for the halftime show and providing a lot of that knowledge because it's always good to hear from them on that opposing side. I do love to kind of dabble in and lurk on some of his watch parties as well. So you get those granular pieces of knowledge. And I'm just like, oh, that's a good one. He's really good at job. He is, you know.
01:50:09 So are you, by the way. And you've done so well. We're going to send you on a break. How about that? Why don't you take a little bit of a rest and continue to get ready for Games 5 and 6? Vic and I will close this one out as we swap maps. And that means, Vicky, we get a chance again to talk some Apex. Privacy, you know, in Analysts, it's so interesting. We don't really get the behind-the-scenes of roles like that in esports. Falcons, you know, a team that can afford to have this type of situation where they have that extra support. But, you know, it's one of those things that's probably becoming more and more standard.
01:50:38 for teams who are saying, we want to win. And we have not just local ambitions, we have global ambitions to be the best. Privacy clearly amazing at his job and working a full-time job as well, helping Falcons to stay on top.
01:50:51 That is so difficult. All my respect to privacy. And I like how I've been saying it forever. And a lot of analysts, obviously, especially the coaches, going all the way back to Hotsik being one of the first ones to really be a trailblazer in how important a coach actually is for a lot of these teams in a battle royale. He highlighted one thing, though, that is very specific to what the coaches try to do, which is trying to minimize the RNG that is inevitable in a battle royale, which is why we see teams still be as consistent as ever.
Strategische Überlegungen und Map-Präferenzen der Teams
01:51:20
01:51:20 auf der Nr. 1 Spot, Falcons, seine eigene squad. Und ich habe so viele andere Dinge, dass ich in der Zukunft möchte, Privacy's brain in der Zukunft. Ich kann nicht warten, um ihn in Deutschland zu sehen. Aber first things first, er spricht über Furia, jetzt kommt auf World's Edge, weil wir machen das World's Edge transition für diese drei drei Spiels. Das ist richtig. Wir fragten ihn, wer du denkst? Und es ist Furia. Und ich weiß nicht, warum...
01:51:46 Das ist nicht etwas, dass wir vielleicht nicht so viel highlighten. Ich meine, FURIA ist natürlich ein sehr erfolgreiches Team. Tons von Veteranen. Ist es nur eine Sache, dass wir das viel Talent haben? Wir warten für sie zu kommen, Vic. Ich meine, sie performen sehr gut über den Kursen. Sie performen sehr gut über das Spiel. Sie performen sehr gut bei LAN. Ich meine, das ist ein Team, das ich denke, wir sollten uns aufhören, no matter was. Sie sehen heute, sie sind auf es.
01:52:11 100%. I never count out teams like Furia, Team Liquid. These are teams that, when we talk about consistency, are consistently in the top 10 in the overall standings. Currently, Furia are sitting 9th. And I mentioned Team Liquid before. They're sitting in 6th. Sometimes it could take a little bit of time to ramp up. And now this is where we can see why a map like World's Edge plays into their strengths. It can all also come down to being comfortable here. And that's why you see sometimes some of these teams try to prioritize their peers.
01:52:40 Draft on one map over the other.
01:52:43 RKN sagte zu uns über das, er hat gesagt, ich versuche, dass ich gegen die Sachen, die ich nicht so großartige an in IGL'ing auf bestimmten Maps bin, also dass ich eine bessere Wahl so ich habe, dass ich eine bessere Rotation auf dem Map bin nicht so großartig an in IGL'ing. Und ich denke, viele Teams haben eine ähnliche Gespräche. Es ist minimiert die RNG. Es ist auch minimiert die Pain-Points, Vicky. Was könnte so falsch sein? Well, wir können so viele Dinge wie falsch sein. Wir werden das Spiel durchführen, wie es in einer kompetitive Landschaft sollte.
01:53:12 Let's not make it harder on ourselves, especially when we know our natural tendencies, strengths and our own weaknesses.
01:53:18 I love how you highlight that. Especially, it makes me think back about, you know, we highlight Furia, but about C-Line and the way that he would go about things when he was previously the coach for Furia and incorporating different strategies in the way that they would approach certain difficult circle pools. And now that we're seeing a little bit more diversity in the way that these circles have been pooling, I can't wait to see how, what to expect in the end zones on World's Edge. Let's get started now. Game number four here. And after that dub that we just saw from KC.
01:53:48 Can they continue it? Because it's not the Devastated Coast endzone that we were able to experience on Storm Point. That's right. Here over at Big Mod, getting some weapons for free. We love to see it. I'm surprised actually with this midseason, we haven't seen much more of a weapon adjustment. I think the one thing that's made me the most, I can't believe it, is waiting so long for the Wingman to be back and then not a single pro.
01:54:16 I mean, unless it's like the last gun available, uses it right now. It's just either perfectly balanced, and maybe they're like, yeah, I only play this gun when it's OP. Vicky, I don't know. But I think it's also just the fact that Havok and Hemlock, they're just too cool. And I'm not sure. Even the mag didn't change it. So I wonder what's next. What's in store for the future changes of this weapon mag? Interesting question to ponder.
01:54:38 Maybe it's the rate of fire here. I always like to theorycraft on the different changes that could impact, whether it be weapon classes or the legend compositions that we've been able to witness now change up in every region. But the Havoc was the weapon that I learned how to play Apex with before, back in my day, when we didn't even have a turbo. There was no startup on the Havoc. So imagine one of those. And then I think the season after that, it was Spitfire Meadow. When you landed, you picked up a Spitfire. There you go.
01:55:07 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
Furias Spielweise und Teamzusammensetzung
01:55:3701:55:37 On a weapon like that. I can't wait. It's just about the weapon diversity that I love to theory craft. But I also like to craft up what Fury has got cooking in the kitchen. Because currently right now. They're one of our consistent squads. Sitting in third place overall. And they've already found themselves in the building over here by survey. With the survey beacon being right next to them. Fantastic stuff as well. I mean this is where you want to be. They're on north side. They're in this building already.
01:56:03 Yes, they've got the Pathfinder. It makes a little bit, you know, you're not getting as much value from a Pathfinder when you are playing so early to zone, but he's going to have a lot of mobility here as well. So you got to think about it differently. No, you're not going to be probably rotating much, but if you need to grab an Evo cache, if you got to go out, check the next building, grab a shield battery, maybe a knockdown box from somebody who was rotating, got killed.
01:56:24 is a great character to have to offset a little bit of characters who might be in that building but won't have the mobility to get in and out like that. So we'll see how they can play it. Fury definitely doing a good job. Trev stacks as well. He says no matter what map, no matter what time, no matter what game, I'm playing Rampart and we are making it work. Sentinel Ironsights hits one, misses the other and now he's got a little bit of pressure coming from him as well. He might have bitten off more than he could chew. This could be rough for CTE.
01:56:53 I was gonna say, define making it work here in A. I mean well.
01:56:58 I was saying he said that. I'm not sure. You know what, though? I always appreciate the dedication when it comes to making and forcing something work. I said it a long time ago in one of our earlier broadcasts where when you're rocking the Rampart and Aloba, you know what they're going for. You know they're looking to sit down pretty and end circle, not move a single inch, and just stay in that black market while all the death boxes come to them. Except in this case, on that force rotate, they landed right next to Temper and they get...
01:57:28 with Native Gaming on the other side. So CCE has made an exit out to the lobby and looking at the other squads that are still playing on the edge of the Circle KCP closer to Monument alongside NRG who are right in front of them. Will not miss another LAN. That's what Nox said. So far, he's doing good on that promise. Wants to continue pushing the limits. NRG though. Great Org back in Apex.
01:57:55 Und ich glaube, ich glaube, ein Mount Rushmore von Coaches, Analysts, wirklich die Leute, was es bedeutet, was es bedeutet, dass das Supporting Roster außerhalb des Spiels. Und es geht sogar noch weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter. Es geht sogar weiter.
01:58:22 Wir spielen das Spiel hier, Vicky. Und das ist manchmal ein tolles Ding. Es ist manchmal, wenn es nicht so ist, all die harde Arbeit gemacht hat, um es zu unterstützen.
01:58:31 Das ist ein bisschen anders.
Taktische Manöver und Teamkämpfe in World's Edge
01:59:00
01:59:00 mit einem Analyst oder sogar mit einem Coach hier. Wir sehen uns auf Disguise. Team ist noch auf blue. Wir können das Evil Harvester nutzen, als vielleicht die Survey Beacon. Es ist auch so wichtig für die Teams, die die Pathfinder zu haben, das 1st-Level Perk zu haben, um die Pathfinder zu bekommen, die sie brauchen auf eine Ring-Console.
01:59:21 It is one of the things that has shifted this meta so much. Just a small little touch on a perk to be able to have access to one of the class passives. They normally wouldn't have access for a Fuse, Pathfinder, and of course some of the resets now available on assists and knocks. That's a big deal. So making that movement just a little bit more valuable.
01:59:47 Also, changing the meta. I feel like we've got also an opportunity here with E8 teams that maybe didn't get off to a great start to find a second wind because of how much this has changed in terms of legend picks. As we take a look at the overview, it's a northern circle. We knew that already. A lot of teams making their move. Skies elevate. Still hanging back, though, Vicky.
02:00:07 Yeah, and Feria is still within their POI of survey, of just hanging out inside of that building, still making sure no other team has the opportunity to get a scan on that survey beacon, but it's about Temper, who are also not giving up the information on Grandma's house here while looking at native gaming. It could be a little scary to sometimes rotate in that building very early, but with the right composition, you are able to not only make sure that nobody else has the opportunity to take your space, but then provide extra damage through the windows on squads that either they're
02:00:36 Flying around, Native Gaming on the other side, or even teams that are walking in through the choke closer to the south side by Monument. It's very difficult. I think where Oxygen Esports are, and you talk about kind of passing over the bridge in a lot of different areas, you know, having that ability to...
02:00:53 Es ist auch ein mixture of nicht zu viel presence.
02:01:19 So you can find a way to kind of hang till some chaos gives you an opening. To go ahead and put yourself in there and be safe. Oxygen right now may be describing what I'm doing here. Just as they're on that edge. They have to move in. It's nothing too threatening right now. But Vayne not seeing anything that he likes so far. I don't blame him here too because it's Space Station that are...
02:01:43 Aber ich fühle mich auch immer, wenn das Cirkel komplett auf den westen von Monument geht, nach der Skyhook. Und dann muss man sich aus dem Epi-Center aus dem Zone auswählen. Wir sehen uns immer wieder die Quadsquats, die in der Weave, C9-Liquid sind, in der Front von Oxygen. Und wenn sie um Epi kommen, sie immer fallen in das open space zwischen Epi und der Train Tracker.
02:02:12 das Native Gaming haben in der Trainkart gehalten, von anderen Squaden, die sie für Monument schauen. Und die andere Elemente ist, das ist ein guter Punkt, Vicky. Die andere Elemente ist, auf der flipen Seite, wenn du dich schlägst, wenn du dich schlägst, nicht zu werden, aber wenn du dich in ein Spot bist, das ist, wenn du dich in ein Spot bist. Aber wenn du dich in ein Spot bist, das ist, wenn du dich in ein Spot bist. Also, wenn du die ersten drei Teams da bist, kannst du mit ein, vielleicht zwei Sieges auf deinem Space haben, das du hast zu defend. Und jetzt hast du nicht so viele resources.
02:02:41 Und du benutzt diese Ressourcen und wirst du nicht mehr zu gehen. Du musst diese Ressourcen gewinnen. Es wird ein ganzes Fortschritt. Wie Sie sehen, Victor Poison, Apex ist gefährlich. DSG, Luz Q-Zer, Design. Hits die Zip-Line, er geht hin, er ist bereit für eine Fight. Er ist mit der Havoc, er geht die Bullets, eine down. Slayer falls, er ist in der Motherlode, er geht direkt aus. Design hat eine Chance für den Grapple, keine Chance für den Grappel. Es gibt noch mehr, 8 Sekunden.
02:03:11 And still waiting. He's lost one. Could be alive with Enemy though for a little while. And just being careful about how he's moving within this exhibit.
02:03:21 Especially when you're trying to take a fight like this with the circle closing in, it's inevitable for a third party to be waiting for you. Flat's already holding that choke with Design having height with the charge of Sentinel. Can he make the magic happen here? He's got the grapple ready to go. If he gets a knock, he gets a reset on that grapple, but he doesn't want to give up this height no matter what. And he's feeling the pressure from the circle and the third party. I think he's just got to see what can enemy do off of this. Enemy's taking the right angle, he gets one. That's Luxford.
02:03:51 Und da ist ein Seer. Design might... ...be able to get picked up here. I think the pressure is gone. Enemy's still alive. You can see it's Zack, though. And just a couple of bullets. Now, Flat here. Who are they gonna play? Spoiler 2. Is it gonna be Zack? Is it gonna be enemy? No, they say, oh, that's interesting. And they just let it happen. They run right by. Meanwhile, enemy trying to get up Design. He's gonna have just enough time. And now Zack's got a big decision to make. It could be a 2v1 here. I don't think Zack wants that. But can he rotate now?
02:04:21 Does he prioritize the rotate, the reset, or are they gonna be able to counter-rotate while now the skies are on the high ground? Design keeps getting griefed by the same Knuckle Cluster from Flat, who are currently holding the edge of the circle uncontested by another team. There may even be a fourth party coming in soon with how long this fight is going on for. I mean, this is amazing, and they're not fighting Zack, so in the same way, he is in trouble just as much, but he's just under the radar.
02:04:50 Eventually, they will have to move flat, realize that, and there's the pressure on Zack. This is looking like the best case scenario. You split some KP, and maybe one of you makes it out around the other side. But certainly, it doesn't look like, oh, maybe that was it. It seemed like it could be Zack went down. I think design might have just zipped out. Mm-hmm. They got out of all that chaos, and now, together as a duo, Disguise are still alive. Weed, though.
02:05:17 Losing out on Lord of the Rings, looking to see if they can get the res. They have to disengage from the res while Carter hugs the gen right now. Seeing if he can get the suppressed fire right through the exhibit. And it is Falcons who are closing in the gap. Hal was already won. He only had some shield to work off of. And Furia, they sandwiched Team Falcons coming out on top. And this is the chaos that I truly dislike when it comes to exiting out of Epi. But it is inevitable as all these teams now collapse to follow up from Furia.
02:05:46 Theria uses everything in their power positionally to just make that a simple fight. Yet again, they're letting the game do the work for them. It was how they won game number two. It's not going to be how they win game number three. Though they do take, excuse me, game four. But they do take down Falcons in the meanwhile. And Oblivion and Blink stay alive to fight another day. Theria go down in 13th and DSG. Getting Qsier back up with KCP underneath them.
02:06:15 Oh, wow. And they're holding Enemy, looking down his site with the Heartbeat passive from the Seer to see if anybody wants to contest him, but also noting what different direction they want to actually rotate around Disguise. Currently, Oblivion get eliminated, the team that was on the other side of that circle, while Flats still are alive by the choke north side that leads into Brando's house. It is KCP that are on the bottom, on the low ground from Disguise after Disguise, we're able to get a reset.
02:06:43 ...on the Bangalore, using that ultimate accelerant just for the Rolling Thunder. It's such an important thing to have as a part of the team call, and that's why they prioritized giving him that ultimate charge. Still a little less than halfway before it's ready to use. Fifth place for DSG. They're at the top left side of your corner, sitting at the south side of the circle. Flat is the one to their left, KCP the one to their right that they are fighting currently.
02:07:09 But so far they don't really need to move. This is a decent spot to hold. They got three members up now. Maybe it's just a waiting game here.
02:07:18 Wow, KCP and Oxygen going at it.
02:07:44 Disguised as well, probably going to try to third party or use this as an opportunity to move. They'll use it to move to a better position. That could have helped them more than they know. KCP will win this, but what will they be able to do? They've got the shield swaps. Can they reset? No, they're out. Liquid Alien, we're out as well. And it's DSG who took advantage of that chaos, played small, and just got to a better position so that Flat, who is rotating in, isn't able to take them down immediately. But they are still in the high ground.
02:08:13 Und jetzt sind wir in der Top 10.
Entscheidende Momente und das Finale von Spiel 4
02:08:16
02:08:16 And even with the lackluster loot from QZR, he was able to get a purple extended Heavy Mag, maybe shared or take it from the boxes to their south after the fight that collapsed right next to them. But even bigger, they are actually going to be able to taxi along to get the extra loot that they may need while also contesting the squad that is trying to wrap around them. The biggest threat to Disguise right now is Flats who are trying to contest them on the other edge of the circle. Luckily for Flats though, they still have another rotate if they want to go in from the north side. C9 still in trouble as chaotic as the last one alive.
02:08:45 Native Gaming, go down, Arcane falls first. It looks like Snipedown was last. And Vanity will also be eliminated. We've got seven now. It's really concentrated in two different areas. This house has three teams. NRG, Most Hated, and Temper going at it. And they're still sharing that space. Stallions try to get into it. I think it's a solo from Alberlele. Holding the low ground, though, maybe there's an opportunity for him. Fun. Knuckle Cluster shooting to the left, running to the right.
02:09:14 Him and Reptar, as a duo, gonna have to fight this one out. Literally doing the dance. Shimshading their way off this low ground fund. Looking to pop this medkit right here as a duo. Can they make the magic happen? Knowing that Temper and RG sharing that space. With Alberlele playing off this hike here. It's inevitable with the circle now closing in in the next three seconds. They have to make this move now. But Flat are also looking at this building. Knowing that these three squads are here. Impressed.
02:09:42 All the teams that have made it here, some difficult rotations. Flat, probably the easiest. NRG and Stallions and Temper, they've just been fighting for their lives in this building. It's like, you know.
02:09:55 Trying to just see who's going to take that first step out. There will be a mass exodus though from the north. So keep your eyes here because Temper is going to have to move. How do they do it? Alvarez is solo alive by himself, but just barely. He'll try to stay out of this conversation. Just playing it low key. As NRG decide to move DSG still where we last left them. Probably in the best position outside of flat to win this game.
02:10:20 How low-key can you play when the Exhibit was also called in? But there's other priority teams right now that Temper need to focus on. And with the Catwalk calming up, Exhibit on every corner of this final zone. We are spraying and praying with the Eva A, hoping that we find a shot. And Alberlele, with a zipline on top of the Rock, stayed alive beyond Temper. Four squads remain. Alberlele finally gets called out. And C9 still has a duo. Top five, not a problem. Alberlele will take that one.
02:10:49 Es ist DSG, auf der anderen Seite. NRG hat einen in Reptar. Und wir haben Flatt, die haben wir gehalten. Es ist ein guter Position, von ihnen. Mambo, Annofries, Big Louie. Und es scheint, dass sie einfach nur um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um.
02:11:17 Und das war mit Design und Setino. Es würde ein totaler Miracle, ein Miracle für Disguise zu machen heute für sie. Es wäre verrückt, wenn sie auf einem anderen Spiel kommen. Aber ein Free Rez kommt von C9. Unkontestet, weil niemand will. Wenn Disguise overextends, wird sie komplett verletzt, von Flat, die für ein Third Party kommen. Also, Neither Flat oder Disguise wollen die erste Team machen auf C9. Ich meine, ich bin surprised.
02:11:47 Oh my, speaking of big shots, for them to follow up, but Mamba, before they can even shoot, returns fire, hits for about 100. Flak going, is this the moment? Maybe we should push? Huh?
02:12:10 Look at this with the habit!
02:12:39 Design and DSG take the win.
02:12:46 Design with those Havoc shots. And you saw, you saw C9 lit up and lined up like a shish kebab ready for Design to just take some free shots on the Havoc. I mean, they were lit up with the seer tag right there. You're making me hungry. I can't. You're making me hungry. I kind of had, I had a kebab for lunch, I think, which is what's even funnier about that. You somehow knew.
02:13:12 You're right. I mean, he lined them up. I was hoping for a sentinel shot, a little collat right there and just ended up. But Vicky, you're right. I mean, they rotated. And what's interesting is like flat rotated to try. They had the high ground. Then they rotated because they got a little bit of damage.
02:13:26 Tried to maybe go for DSG, that's where the damage was, then they got pulled back. During that Chaos, though, they took a little bit of damage, had the shield battery, and now the closest team to them was heading down in C9, and it was a duo. So I think they decided to push this, but it just gave DSG that full high ground. And so as they did that little do-si-do, they found themselves on the bad end of it. And unfortunately, a really good game played, they just gave up their advantage. And that's some of the little things that really determine how things end up in Apex.
02:13:56 And let's also not forget, that was when Disguise, that was the game that Disguise was stuck in the Sniper Tower north of Landslide in the circle while they were getting gatecapped from Flat from the very beginning. Flat wanted to fight Disguise for literally half of that game. As we take a look at the match results, because you know that Disguise was able to get a lot of KP on top of the dub, nine kills. And with their two wins of the day, Rain Day, this could probably
02:14:25 Ich meine, was eine Geschichte wir haben. Ich denke, wir können jetzt bleiben. Sie spielen heute. Sie spielen heute. Sie spielen heute. Sie spielen heute. Sie spielen heute. DSG ist heute unser aller-Platz-Team in Nordamerika. Aber zwei Wins in zwei Tage würden sie in den Top 10 gewinnen und qualifizieren.
02:14:50 If not just for Regional Finals, a chance to do well in Regional Finals in qualifying for LAN. That would be wild. But hey, crazier things have happened. Honestly, I don't think we've ever seen that in ALGS history. We have to see how they do for these next two games. Because that was our first game on World's Edge. You see a total of 21 KP. They are currently sitting in first place on top of Team Falcons after two dubs in their pocket.
02:15:19 43 total points for Falcons right now sitting in second place. So they are trailing right behind Disguised. One thing I do love about this is, you know, yes, we do see a little bit of...
02:15:31 We'll Disguise start their run at History. Stay tuned.
Ausblick auf die letzten Spiele und strategische Anpassungen
02:17:34
02:17:34 All right, y'all, we are ready. We are locked in for the final two matches of ALGS Matchday No. 8 for North America. Vicky, you and I have been through a lot today, but we got to close it out in style. Rain Day was hoping for some DSG action, and we get a win on the game that I take off. So what's in store for us for the final two matches? I honestly, all I'm saying is that
02:18:03 Das ist crazy. Getting off the Wraith, going on the Pathy. Design, you know, there's things that change things up, make it very fresh for the rest of the squad. I saw Zainu in the chat saying, Design, get off the path. This is not working out for the rest of us. Well, guess what? He's got other things to say. With enemies staying alive, getting that reset, that meant everything for Disguise because they had the mobile respawn beacon Tiff to get their third back.
02:18:29 Copy of Pasta of what we had witnessed in EMEA early on in that same exact zone. Except where they were, it was Alliance getting Effect back in before eventually Aurora swaying in. But regardless, it still worked out. The Rocks do what they do and they just hold off on that cover. Even though C9 tries to kind of get Saucer back in and throw forward, DSG just held the same position that Stay Healthy had.
02:18:55 Earlier today in Emiah. From there, they just kind of witnessed the rest of the lobby collapsing on each other. And this swing from Design Bowl, you called it what? Like a shish kebab? He lined them up like a shish kebab for real off that seer tag. It was beautiful lighting that up here too because you just see everybody preemptively firing through the Bangalore smokes, not knowing where everybody is. But the process of elimination here, especially for the final zone, you know where they're going to be hanging out behind that rocktiff.
02:19:21 Ja, ich meine, jemand war mit Havok. Ich meine, es war nerf. Es war nerfed. Es war nur ein Rewerk auf die Mag-Size. Ich bin ehrlich, alle sind immer noch immer mit dem Dämmigen, obwohl das Mag-Reduktion der Mag-Reduktion ist total. Es ist tatsächlich total crazy. Imagine wenn du eine Gold-Extended Mag hast, um die Auto-Reload zu holen.
02:19:43 All right, enough nightmares here. Make sure you guys tune in to the Faceit, official multi-view streaming platform for the ALGS, guys. If you guys want to tune in to your own favorite team listen-ins, see what everybody's calming about, so that way you, too, can take some notes and replicate that within your own Rank Games. This is the place to absolutely do it, because you get to hear how your favorite teams are able to make these rotates and take some of these fights.
02:20:08 Let's get started, Tiff. Match 5s are always my favorite here, too,
02:20:36 The point where all these teams know where they stand in the overall standings for today and what more they need to do, especially if you're in Group A and this is your last chance. You don't have the opportunity that that disguise, on the other hand, has since they have also tomorrow as a match point day that they can really try to elevate their current overall points.
Disguise Teams Aufstieg und die Bedeutung von Mid-Season-Patches
02:20:56
02:20:56 You can just think of the momentum that they'd carry in going into that double weekend match day. You think back to our prior ANC in round two. Disguise only walked away with eight total points on the day. And that was their best showing throughout Split 2 Pro League. So the fact that they found themselves in the leaderboard first place, four points ahead of Falcons after winning two matches is crazy. Design path diff, I just guess.
02:21:24 The Pathy, is that what it was the whole time? We saw Zero in the chat basically saying, you know what, design on Pathy, unstoppable. Where have you been, bro? You have to really focus down on how some of these changes have allowed these teams to play to their strengths in different ways. And that's why I also love midseason patches here, too. As we take a look at the circle, Tiff, it may not be that northern circle that we were so used to seeing beforehand. Instead, this one may be pulling out towards the outskirts of staging, closer to landslide.
02:21:54 Now you're recalling the ring guesser game for C9 who have found themselves at Harvester kind of looking down the sites at CCE. Would be an interesting fight here this early on as so many teams are vying to rotate towards that position you were calling out. I like this spot here but Trev starts having to drop away because they cannot hold that high ground currently feeling that pressure.
02:22:17 from the team trying to approach them. It's going to be C9 going around the Rampart walls. They're going to be able to also use that for free here because Oblivion are also right behind them looking to see after hearing some shots if they can try to go in for a third party and quickly with that rotate. I mean, they're still fully on White Evos looking to see if they can get the Evo Harvester that is right next to C9 as Blink is on his way over there. The Evac Tower has allowed C9 to now reposition deeper into staging.
02:22:41 Yeah, and that makes sense, right? CCE, they start in staging. They didn't get a ring console. So pretty much immediately moving into Harvester, where that closest ring console is going to be for them to get that information. Weave on your screen already has it starting to hit that evac tower and want to find themselves a solid position over by maybe Mirage Atoile. And you can see they're going to call out Dorito building just on the outskirts of it. Now, yup, they land in Mirage Atoile for World's Edge and will just...
02:23:09 Sie haben bereits mit der Katwalk-Rock-Walk-Walk-Walk-Walk.
02:23:18 It's a great look here for you up to hold not only that high ground here, but if there was information on that platform like we've usually seen before on the south side of Mirage 12, they could deny that from teams like C9 who went ahead on that evac tower like we saw before and have found themselves north of staging side Oxygen, a team that also needed to perform are currently sitting in dead last with four points. And I say they needed to perform because they were sitting in 19th before starting today in the overall standings.
02:23:47 You need to be in the top 20 to participate in the regional finals.
02:23:52 It's really tough knowing that we've seen Oxygen have such substantial performances on LAN, but to even barely miss out on potential regional finals qualification, because they are in Group A. This is it for them. If they fall out of that top 20, they are done in Split 2, and that's scary to think about. And when you're on Game 5 and you have two more games to go, your mental could absolutely be boomed here as, all right, for free, sniped down, they'll drop down, the Thermite gonna be able to get that knock onto Nano.
02:24:22 Und mit Snipe-Droppern hier ist wirklich Rambo aus dem High-Ground. Träte für Träte, zu sehen, ob wir den Reset haben. Und Snipe-Doun, um die Träte auf zu Flatt zu haben. Und jetzt haben sie die Deathboxes für die Extra-Loot. Hopen, dass es nicht ein Third-Party in der Körner gibt. Und es sieht nicht, dass es noch andere Quads in der Nähe gibt. Which, by the way, ist die einzige Squad zu still be on the Gibby.
02:24:44 You'll love to see it, RKN, for sure. We had a lot of trust right there for Snipedown to win that 1v1. Rambo is like, I'm full send in the res. You win your ones, bro, or not. And then I'll have to deal with that. But for a nice reset there after Flak. Falcons on your screen. Currently in second place. Just four points outside of DSG on the overarching leaderboard there. For them, they've got to get through Stallions if they want to get closer towards that Mirage-A-Trois area. You're already being pinged by that Survey Beacon elsewhere.
02:25:14 And chances are, if you're in a fight and there's a neighboring team that does get that survey beacon scan, we've seen it historically, we saw it in EMEA early on, you will get full send.
02:25:23 Yeah, why not there too? Especially if you get to get the jump on another squad here. You get to see so many different zip lines in front of Falcons that they could take instead. So that way they could try to reposition. But it is crazy to highlight with just a few points away from where Disguise is sitting in first. That Falcons, although they have been very consistently in the top four on Stormpoint, their best map. They haven't won a single game. And Disguise have won two games. They are only leading the way by four measly points. That is crazy with Falcons and the way that they've been able to take these consistent fun.
02:25:52 Ja, ich meine, in der Endeffektion nicht, dass sie nicht gewinnen müssen, bis sie landen und landen. Sie sind bereits in der Mannheim-Germany. Wir müssen die Wins dann. Das ist das, was es hier ist, wenn du an Matchpoint bist, hast du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, wie du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, weil du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, weil du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, weil du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, weil du gewinnst, dass du gewinnst, weil du gewinnst
Teamkämpfe und strategische Entscheidungen im späteren Spielverlauf
02:26:21
02:26:21 Oh, all right, Most Hated. You're going to have to get through Falcons. You do the brunt of the damage. Rip the shields right off two of them. But they're going to answer back with some bang ults of their own. The Exhibit out forward. Dynasty just trying to find an angle if we can. Smokes on forward. Doesn't see any angles coming on through. He's going to join up alongside Laser. And it won't. The Nades taking all that damage. But I just don't think it's enough to really focus and push on in.
02:26:48 Es wird schwierig hier auch, weil sie auch in der Distance getötet sind. Aber ich weiß, NRG ist auch schon zu tun, denn sie sind die Leute mit der Circle-Advantage und der Height-Advantage. Lezerne geht sofort. Zero wird von Nocton getötet.
02:27:04 Ja, Alv ist einfach in der High-Ground. While Retzi and Ram stay on the Low-Ground, Alv pushes sie straight in die Open Arms of Ram and Retzi, und sie einfach clean up Most-Hated. A definitiv clean-team-fight right there, aber natürlich, wir müssen auf ...
02:27:31 Still moving towards the openness of Landslide. And you could honestly wrap into Countdown and go south. But I'm really curious to see where Falcons decides to push on into. Because you've got Knock and Energy on the other side from Landslide. They're going to keep forcing them out of the way. But they've got that truck. They've got a couple supply bins over there for cover. But it's not something that's going to be substantial for long.
02:27:52 And the timing is so important in a fight like this, too. This is exactly where the rotation at Zero Mags comes into play, because if they do try to fully send it onto NRG while being at a positional disadvantage, you know that fight is going to take long, and Stallions, who are in countdown, who they've noted could easily move in for a third party, could rotate right behind them. Luckily for them, Stallions have decided to prioritize the ring beacon in countdown, and this has now given space to Team Falcons to see if they want to counter-rotate through countdown side, or if they want to commit.
02:28:21 this fight where energy is sitting in landslide only a matter of time jen just chilling doing what he does best hal and zero just scouting forward to see where we want to go for fun he's got that catwalk the high ground of landslide was hoping he could find angles onto the falcons but it doesn't seem like he's able to get something through for dsg two map wins so far on the day
02:28:46 Out of four. That's a 50% win rate out of our series thus far, which is pretty cracked. Ugh, it's actually crazy here. The way that Disguise have been playing thus far, and they've also been able to create so much different rotate options on the Zip. Alright, gotta get into a quick little grapple here, but let's jump into a listen with Disguise as they are looking to the back to see if another squad wants to come in behind them.
02:29:14 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1,
02:29:42 The Grapple and Run, and this team is in hot pursuit of design. If he falls here, which he does, he's going to open up the leaderboard for Team Falcons to grab that number one spot. Liquid Alienware, sitting in seventh place overall, have thrown down the Dark Veil to divvy them up. Because we got Niazul on the low ground, Native is coming, running out, sniped down an RKN, just waiting.
02:30:09 Do we throw the defensive bombardment? Where do we hit it, the high ground it is? Um, they fully send it out, at least on the high ground, to boot them out there or maybe get some information. The evac tower, the snipe hat.
02:30:21 Oh, 100%. You would not be surprised. Niazul opens it up, actually grabs a knock on the snipe elsewhere.
02:30:47 You may have tried to wake the bear, but you're going to get punished regardless. Let's see what SSG is up to and jump into a listen in with them This whole side I kid you not yeah, we're coming. We're coming They definitely won't Okay, come on maybe sliding down I'm 69 on a fucking
02:31:13 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.
02:31:40 A bit of indecision there for SSG is they may be fighting ghosts like you mentioned they did send the team elsewhere
02:32:09 Regardless, the Native Gaming push did come through. They unseat Liquid Alienware, but the job's not done. NRG getting collapsed upon. There's a good attempt from Liquid Alienware right there, too, trying to get that res, but with that fight done and dusted and allowing Native Gaming to come out on top, we're looking at NRG on top of these tracks, trying to contest so many other squads in the area. Look at that, Motherlode for Motherlode. If it isn't the Exhibit making the Venn diagram, it's got to be the Fuse ult instead. NRG losing out on Reptard, though, who's...
02:32:38 But having a rather difficult day thus far, even with Nock getting the Nock originally with the Thermite, he is forced to slide away. Hopefully they can try to get a reset, but wrapping around here now, that is Falcons and Stallions looking at them.
02:32:52 Yeah, you can only get so far. Nock will be last standing for the NRG roster on the opposing side as Falcons have finally moved into this. We're gonna throw out the Arc Stars. You can see where that circle is inevitably pulling to and Yup called it to perfection. Elsewhere, Weave deals the finishing blows over towards Nock and NRG. Well, they've fallen. In 15th, nonetheless, Team Falcons.
02:33:17 mit dem Reset und nicht auf dem Truck, weil sie wissen, dass Stallions sind neben dem, neben dem Fakt, dass es eine similare Rotate, die beiden Teams hatten, aus dem Landslide, während C.C.E. haben ihre kleine Haus mit den Rampart Wallen nicht zu gehen. Es ist eine Protektion auf dem Black Market, um die Necessary-Equipment, die sie brauchen für den nächsten Cirkel, während Falcons verlieren, auf Zero. Sie versuchen, diese Faktion zu finden, und sie finden einen Krack auf der anderen Seite.
02:33:46 Oh, zero down, but Hal looks to answer back. Jen falls as well, and Hal might just be covered. Turns his attention to the guy forward, has someone in the cross, and Falcons have fallen. That means disguised. Still at the top of the leaderboard, they are potentially able to hold onto it. Slayer finds himself in the cusp of the rest of this fight. Gets a full heal off. We're remaining. We've got the exhibit in pocket, should we need it.
02:34:13 Especially if it tries to get information on any third parties coming in. Elevates, try to find that last stragglers grappling away, but now taking control over these trains. The train trucks inside of the middle and stallions are still going to be able to poke at Elevate. The evac tower that was called in from Elevate to see if maybe they could get ahead on where that next circle is pulling. Because we are moving on top of where we had seen Yup at the very beginning of the game. The choke, the exits out of Thermal as Yup have not given up this high ground.
02:34:41 Und Native Gaming haben nichts mehr zu gehen, aber...
02:34:45 Und als wir von diesem Rock kommen, werden wir in den Eyelines des Yuppen gehen. Und sie wollen das auf alle Kosten. Das ist der größte Threat-to-Win-Condition. So Arke und Rambo Snipe-Down haben eine der größten Aufgaben. So was haben wir in terms der Utilität für dieses Engagement? Well, Snipe-Down, wir haben den Exhibit. Ich habe nicht wirklich viele Nades. Ich habe keine Bats oder Med-Kits. Es ist nicht so, dass du ein vieles Dämmchen kannst. Dupe auf dem Highground ist bereits Poizier.
02:35:14 und bereit zu machen. Wir haben ein bisschen Deja Vu hier von Yupp, nach ihrer Performance in der letzten Matchday.
02:35:22 Looking to try to take the dub and holding God's spot at the moment for a circle like this, while making sure that they also don't get thirded by C9, who are right next to Native beyond this choke. As you can see them currently situated, Native also have noted that there is a team on the other side of this rocks, but the moment that Native shows her face, this is going to be really difficult. They can get the information of the neighboring teams, thanks to Snipedown being on Seer and having that exhibit, but there's not just one squad looking at them from height, which is Yup. It's going to be C9 on top of it.
02:35:53 Ooh, Cloud9. Needs a good game here to kind of turn their series around, but turn the attention over to the low ground. Elevate gaming, getting into the fray of things. Luxord gets fried. Forced to take at least 10 to 15 seconds to focus on that shield bat. Zach?
02:36:08 Das ist die Passive, die er zu können, um ihn zu geben, um ihn zu können, um ihn zu geben, um ihn zu geben, um die Batschen zu geben, um die Batschen zu geben. Und so far, wir haben nicht eine voll Send-Send, aber du kannst nur den Rev-Up, um die Mother-Load, um ihn zu kommen. C9 hat eine gute Barricade, die Fences sind aus, aber es wird Native Gaming geben, um die Aufmerksamkeit zu haben, um Cloud9 und Yup, und wir müssen weitergehen. Ich meine, das ist wirklich, wo es wirklich kommt.
02:36:32 Imagine if Arcann was a Catalyst right now and had Wall, where you could isolate both teams with Catwall and then the Fuse Motherlode on top of Yup. But they have the Gibby instead. They probably have the perk that makes Gibby's Bubble even bigger. Trying to see if they get closing that space here in unison with the Exhibit and the Motherlode coming in. Yeah, but you're gonna expend so much. Then you hope that you have Ult Excels to get your abilities back for that final endgame. For now, we're still trying to pray along the outside of...
02:37:01 Das Cliff ist ein Mountain, aber es geht um, Snipe Down geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um.
02:37:17 Still maintaining Pride Rock. Making sure that C9 doesn't get a free walk in here. While Space Station playing very close to the zipline. Temper on the other side of the low ground. Here's a cat wall on the other side. Stallions get eliminated in your feet. And Temper looking to make a move inside this building. Straight on to where Elevate was playing.
02:37:36 SG von der Lowground. Also, they're getting tagged up by all the teams that have found themselves on the upper side. You've got to keep eyes out on that. CCE, we've got a lone member standing, just playing. No one looks at them. And C9 and Yup, reigning supreme. Well, we talk about the last member from CCE, and Furia finds him.
02:37:57 Und able to get the reset here, too. Gonna be able to get the res, and there's a death box for a quick evil shield swap. Elevate get eliminated, and there are four squads remaining. Furia, Space Station, Yup, and C9. C9 and Yup, the only two that currently have height right now, but Furia have a Pathfinder, so they can easily try to retake this high ground if they find a third-party opportunity. Yeah, I'd be really curious to see which of these teams is gonna try and...
Yup sichert sich den Sieg in Spiel 5
02:38:23
02:38:23 Make a move first, right? You've got Watsons on both Cloud9 and Yup. So you've got the fences that are trying to kind of hold them steady from those pushes. But we need to see. Prodigy Aces, it's not like he can throw out the Bangult onto Cloud9. They've got the Jenny down. Then you've got SSG on the low ground. And there's Fury elsewhere. But Yup and Cloud9 have to eventually duke it out. Have your own little party here as a duo.
02:38:48 Oh, okay!
02:39:10 We love some G7 Scout Moments. It got a damage buff, albeit it only moved from 32 to 33. But if you're popping Headies, it's a good way to force that damage on. You see Fury at full sending Cloud 9. And if Yup can just hold off and not allow SSG to take that Zip to high ground, this could be a solid game for them to win.
02:39:30 But they've been playing this so patiently that Osivian is still on the blue evo. Probably very close to leveling up that evo shield. But Furia will full purples now. Looking to stay alive as a duo here. Taking the high ground currently. And are looking to fully send it. They can isolate Osivian 2. They need to take down Furia here. Fronji, you cannot fall. Has to pop a phoenix skip. That's 10 seconds. And you're saying that Furia is not going to use that time to their advantage to full send. Yup, Madness gets abs.
02:39:57 Absolutely annihilated and just trying to hold on. 10 HP, SSG, the ones to take out Fury. And here comes Yup. They clean it on up and take match number five. For free here for Yup here as well because nobody was going to contest them from height that they've been holding Tiff since the very beginning of the game. But a huge dub for Yup to put them on the right path after an explosive match day where we saw them take the first place spot in their match day.
02:40:27 Hold on, Vicky. I just got to say something real quick. Dupe has one of the only Watson skins that I never got and I need it right now. I need it. We need to have that moment. No, it's fine. It's fine. I'll worry about that later. But congratulations to Yup. I said the majority in the pre-show that they get a lot of their eliminations on World's Edge. They only acquired, I believe it was one on Storm Point. So knowing that their backs are against the wall, if they want to carry out that momentum from their match day victory, that it has.
02:40:54 Und das ist auch ganz gut. Und das ist auch ganz gut.
02:41:13 Topping their last matchday, put them in the top 20. They are still in the cusp because they were sitting in 20th place overall before starting today's matches. Yup, take the dub with only 4KP with Space Station trailing right behind them with double-digit kills.
02:41:28 Yeah, SSG was kind of reaping on the low ground, right? We saw Elevate fall. We saw Temper fall in CCE as well. Now, grand CCE, that last limb went to Furia, but it was enough to put them on double digits for SSG. Cloud9 had the high ground across from Yuff, and they were going to be that biggest threat. Had Furia not fully sent Cloud9 there, which you called out, you were like, look, when you've got a Pathfinder and Kion wanting to get Mixi, you knew that was a very real potential. Things could have definitely changed.
02:41:58 Aber als du nach der Hälfte des Leaderboarden gehts, Native Gaming.
02:42:02 You know, yes, their efforts got thwarted trying to rotate in behind Yupp and Cloud9, but they walk away with seven eliminations. Yeah, that's still amazing here, putting extra points on board. Aside from that one placement points, you get a total of eight coming out of that KP. Even KCP, Vanity, it was a lot of chaos from the squads that had to rotate over from the east side of the map through that landslide, through the train tracks here too. As we take a look at the top three performances from our teams, Space Station, 10 KP, 3K total damage, the same thing.
02:42:32 hier für Yup in terms of damage output, but they couldn't give up that high ground no matter what, which is why we saw the likes of Osivian still being on Blue Evo for the endgame.
02:42:41 Oh, es ist...
02:43:07 A lot more time than I was expecting it after we saw the action on Stormpoint. Furia had taken the first place spot over Disguise with now 52 points, leading the way with a little bit of a gap between themselves and even Team Falcons. But Space Station also right behind it with just a mere few points away.
02:43:26 Yeah, the top five are incredibly close with only, I believe, like nine or so points separating them. So with only one more match to go and everything up for grabs, we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out after this break.
Entscheidendes Finales Match und Gesamtstand
02:45:15
02:45:15 Let's lock it in one more match that's just gonna decide who is going to be advancing on to the regional finals, at least for Group A, right? If you're Group C, you get to play again tomorrow alongside Group B. But for now, this is Group A's last chance. That's why I'm a little sweaty right now, looking at Oxygen and the lack of wiggle room that they have to work with here. They have to definitely pop off for this final game or...
02:45:39 Are we going to get some similar action to our last matchday, where Yup had taken the final game on World Edge, setting them on top, but they did take game number five confidently, holding the best spot that they could play in, game-winning spot with 4KP, before Furia were also able to clean up what was left of the teams on the low ground. Yeah, they hit the zipline, they find that CCE, SSG makes a play, tries to clean on up on Elevate, just barreling on in. Now, if you kind of separate back...
02:46:07 Sie sehen, die Exzibits kommen, und YUP tun alles, was sie können, um ihre Territory zu retten. Granted, wenn FURIA nicht Fullset Cloud9 war, könnte es eine andere Geschichte sein. However, FURIA, Sie halten auf. SSG versucht, aber YUP mitzunehmen. Und es hat sie auf 8th auf den Leaderboard.
02:46:32 Absolutely huge. Can they do it again? Or is Disguise just going to come out from left field? We have to see because it is incredibly close looking at the top five currently right now. Just to reiterate, for those of you guys who missed the overall standings, Fury are currently sitting in first with 52 points. Space Station with 48, Disguise 47, a one-point difference, all the way down to Team Falcons with 45 points. Even KCP-Tiff with 43 points trailing right behind. It is this final game.
02:47:02 That literally determines if Furia stays in the number one spot. Ooh, all right. I mean, look, there's just nine points separating first through fifth place. It's kind of crazy to think about this. Now, we had that Mirage Atoile zone, and then we had the Monument ending. I feel like we're just missing a Thermal Station zone. It's been a very long amount of time before I have cast over a Thermal Station endgame, and I need it. I don't think it's happening.
02:47:30 Ich habe eine Theorie von Snipe Down in diesem Podcast, dass er die Zonen nicht über Lava ist.
02:47:42 It definitely, I've seen it. We've been able to see that with how these circle pulls have been working. But that would be a miracle. We have to see how that tries to play out here and where this circle will be pulling. But I do, you know what? I am expecting maybe a northern zone here. We've got to see what side, whether it may be another grandma's house zone. But it is also nice to note, Tiff, what we haven't seen thus far is a bonus point going in favor for our team. And with Disguised having two wins, maybe.
02:48:11 Just maybe it is possible if they take the dub this final game. I mean, one can hope. If a team needs it, it's going to be disguised, right? Throw down 26 points to where they started the day on, and it could really change the tides of their qualification for regional finals in particular. And then you just got to win a match point regional finals against some of the gnarliest teams in North America. I mean, how hard could that be, right?
02:48:38 Especially when you have to deal with the lobby that is Falcons who've already secured their ticket to Germany. So now looking at what these other teams need to do, especially the squads in Group A, it looks like we are going over to the Northeast TIF. This is pulling closer to Overlook and could absolutely benefit NRG since they have the Ring Console and the Evil Harvester on the outskirts of their POI.
02:49:01 NRG should be able to find themselves in a position for the long game on this. Another team that I know knows how to play zones like this is going to be Cloud9, who have already centered themselves up in one of those neighboring choke points outside of No Name. Now, they probably recognized this immediately. We're like, okay, we're so used to dropping Overlook historically. We know how to play these endgames. We just have to get there.
02:49:26 Es ist also going to be hard hier zu halten, wenn du wissen, dass Teams werden zu rotatieren, durch die Tunnel-Side-Geyser. Aber holding das Backend und denying die Ring-Console information von den Squaden, das werden das Soutern-Rotate machen, ist es going to be big hier für NRG. Especially, since sie jetzt nicht zu zeigen. Sie sind in 13th Platz, overall. Especially mit der individuellen Talent, die wir wissen, dass das Team hat.
02:49:50 For sure. I mean, look, in 13th place overall, they've got plenty of time and effort in this last game to really make the most of it. Because even a 10-point game puts them at 30 points. And inside maybe like 9th or so place, anything more than that, then we just need like a double-digit elimination win for them if they want to break into the top seven. Hey, crazy. Again, there's just so many different teams that could really have that pop-off opportunity here as Reptar is also trying to scout ahead.
02:50:18 See if anybody else wants to go in for a quick rotate through this tunnel side, because Pioneers are in the mouth of that tunnel, as well as Oxygen, who have already rotated quickly through Geyser's side. And with these evac towers flat, they're also making an appearance, jumping right on top of Madness!
Chaos und Wendungen im finalen Spiel
02:50:33
02:50:33 Oh, Furia, das ist nicht was du musst hier passieren. Jetzt mit Kionn zu bleiben, mit dem anderen Duell. Wenn ich flat bin, werde ich auf der Liebe halten, denn du hast alle Knuckle-Clusters kommen. Aber look at Chaotik. Von C9, er machte ein Knochen von Furia und Kionn. So, sie sind einfach gescheitert.
02:50:57 The Knuckle Clusters, Fuse is truly a professional Grim Griefer himself out there. Having to literally reset somewhere else because you were in the line of sight of that Knuckle Cluster. But I would love to see Madness' point of view. The moment that Flat just all together as a three-man dropped right on top of Infuria. We're able to get Keon back up. Vaxlon's still alive, but now having to forcibly play this out as a duo. Yeah, that one's gonna be...
02:51:25 Dicey to deal with. Slayer full running away from a crazy Pathfinder named Designful, which is an opening to a very gnarly horror story. So far, White Reserve does have the gold mag on the triple take. I think he's got a wingman in tow for this game. I don't know what Design is doing, but obviously he's cooking.
02:51:47 You know what, the wingman in hand, very characteristic of design here too, and he's also always on top of these snipers. We saw him rocking that sentinel early on when Disguise had taken the dub, and now looking to back away here too, but...
02:52:01 Ja, all the...
02:52:27 5 Teams, Vicky, are currently in the next zone. And Flatt has finally decided that...
02:52:32 You know, taking down Madness wasn't going to be enough for them. Let's see what Yup is all about. They grab that knock onto a Zivian and just kind of look to clear out this space in no name. My only issue with this is, because there are so many teams that have found themselves in such a tight vicinity, is that the moment you full send something else, you could get punished. And Nano has like kind of found himself still outside the building. Mampa gets clipped through the door. This situation is pretty, pretty tough to deal with.
02:53:00 He peaked for two seconds and got obliterated by a triple tick. And I know that Nano has had it with all the fuses that he's been pressured out. Thankfully, he was able to reset here as Alberlele stuck in the middle of a mother load, having to back away. But the tick damage of the mother load dealt just enough to knock down Alberlelele. That is how on the other side of the fuse cannon and Falcons are looking to engage.
02:53:26 Oh, no. Look at Zero. Just waltz it on up towards where that zip is. He's like, is it okay for me to try and zip? He smokes it on out, and I know he is just waiting to see how they're going to full send it. Of course, they know enough time had passed for Alb to get reset. And in just about eight more seconds, once he pops a med kit, he will be back.
02:53:46 Ich denke, es ist nicht in der besten Interesse zu pushen, weil wir bereits die Motherlode haben, und wir müssen die Alt-XLs haben, um die Abilität zu bekommen. Aber eine Rez kommt durch in No Name, Vicky.
02:53:58 Sorry, it's not gonna be Furia here. No, it's gonna be Dupe instead. You're keeping the Dream alive for Yup right now. They've lost out on a Civian. It doesn't look like they were able to get that banner originally. They will be able to get it currently right now, but they're in the line of sight of the other squads that are in the area. Tiff, you highlighted it before, but there's about five, six other teams that are coexisting here by no name.
02:54:21 We need a Jenny here and now, and we don't have it. Here comes the full stand. We delete Nano, and we could get a shield swap out here, but that's why those purple knockdowns can be so disgusting to work around. Yup has been eliminated, and Big Louie last standing for flat.
02:54:37 Das war alles, weil er aus seinem eigenen Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp-Knapp
02:55:00 Okay, Dynasty, already on red, wanting to open things up and get some eliminations for the squad, but Space Station, look, in second place overall on the day.
02:55:09 Team Falcons sind jetzt in 17th place.
02:55:34 Our team that was in the top five, that was them finishing off with 45 points, maybe a little extra here if they were able to get the KP before they were taken out. But look at this north side of the circle. They were caught in the middle with Stallions and Temper looking at the direction that they wanted to originally rotate from. And all these teams like Liquid Alienware that have been waiting in Overlook since the very beginning of their POI are going to be able to look both sides between NRG and Native before transitioning into that next zone.
02:56:01 Oh, and with the bounce back to Frag, even where SSG has found themselves on the bridge outside of Epicenter, it completely changes the course of match number six because NRG playing from that overlook area was like, oh yeah, cool. We're going to be just fine here. Mom, joke's on us. We get a complete opposite zone pool.
02:56:22 Actually giving the teams that hard predicted the outskirts of Overlook Whiplash. Now you're gonna have to deal with the teams that have already found their spot, whether it be Frag East, and I think there was only one team that I called out earlier on, and that was Vanity. Disguys are trailing right behind him, so the stream is still alive, but Spacestation losing out on Khoi-Full with only Phony here coming into the rescue. Zyno holding a different side, but he took that fight by himself, and he needed Phony to be ahead there.
02:56:47 Oh no, if SSG falls here, you think about the top of the leaderboard, Disguised are still up, and SSG can fall. Now that Falcons have fell, and they were sitting, I think, around four.
02:56:58 You look towards all the teams that can make the moves. It's Pioneers. It's Disguised. It's SSG. And Furia, well, they're still up and at it and holding onto the first place for now. For Elevate Gaming, who, like I said earlier, have been so good at finding these early to mid-game eliminations on Triple Red, trying to find some angles on the outskirts of Epicenter. I'm gonna call this early tiff that Disguise, having a Survey Beacon now and being uncontested on their side of the circle, may be within the top three, may even take this game in their position.
02:57:28 All the other teams to contest them in this top five are going to be in the majority of the chaos on this rotate. Now looking at Elevate with full red Evos, they have the height over this hilltop dealing with Mosay Direct behind them and they were looking out for the straggler that was Space Station as they were able to get out of that argument. This is where I wish we had Dia and his Telestrator.
02:57:50 Because look at this. The bounce back directly into Frag East, kind of like you called, where Vanity had found themselves. This is going to be interesting. Now, if this was Emiya and Passion UA were playing, we know which building they would already be in, one of those southern Frag East buildings. But for now, none of them are occupied. Furia needs to grasp hold on one because Disguise is going to look to take the horizontal building next to Vanity.
02:58:13 Das Führer vs. Disguys ist wirklich verrückt. Huwad ist ein Evo Schild, einfach so das Wienerzuhl kann das sehr schnell hier verwenden. Sehr schnell, eigentlich. Er wird sich für die Health Reset sein, aber er wird auf dem Platz sein. Sie wissen, die Teams sind für sie auf den Hügel auf den Hügel, aber es wird eine sehr schwierige Rotate sein. Sie können bei der Edge spielen, aber wir wissen, wie viele Squads sind auf den Outskirts des Mouths der Tunnel.
02:58:38 I'm a little worried about their rotation, not gonna lie.
02:58:44 Furia though, you got the train station here, DSG, still holding onto that for now, keeping your eyes forward onto that south. Furia do inevitably move into that building kind of like they needed to do. It'll be the next one just inside where that circle pulls to. They're not going to have that information, but it's one of the only free remaining buildings in Fraggy since they got here first. The remainder have to come from the east.
02:59:11 And then the north. And that east rotation is going to be tough. NRG is gonna have to pull from the south side of No Name and wrap around. But then your question is, what is Cloud9 gonna do? And then finally, Oxygen Esports shows up. Better late than never.
02:59:27 It's got to happen eventually here too. And this is going to be a road take for Oxygen that could absolutely benefit them. Because if you look at Disguise and their Legend composition, they don't have a catalyst like Oxygen. They don't have a control Legend. But Oxygen lose out on Vayne in the circle. They are taking way too much damage. This round three absolutely takes chunks out of your health. But hey, currently Frex was able to find a corner to survive off of. It looks like Aiden cannot commit to saving.
02:59:54 Weil he would take way too much damage here until Vayne, finally, by the edge of the circle, is able to crawl to safety. And they are going to be able to get that res with Disguise nearing right alongside them. You see Design trying to call him out because he heard some noise by streamer building.
03:00:13 All right, keep your eyes on it. The fact that we even get Vayne back up is pretty crazy. I didn't think we were going to be able to secure that. DSG starts poking. Here comes the Dark Veil, and design is down. Now Q-Zier and enemy are going to have to essentially 2v3, and we've already got two cracked. Enemy needs to go hard on the low ground. Here come the frags. They could really turn this around. Oh, the beefs?
03:00:39 They cut them dirty there too. QZR, it's up to you. The Cat Spikes here too. It is putting on way too much pressure. Disguise go down. The Jinx, but better yet for Oxygen, they needed that. They were literally on the cusp. They have not shown up at all this matchday and they take out Disguise. But this also keeps Furia alive in the running.
03:01:03 Furia in the next zone, alive at the top of the leaderboard. It could be the day of Furia for Elevate on the outskirts here. Had that evac tower, not going to take it. But Luxford gets completely taken aback. Oh no, and now as a duo Elevate, Slayer dropping down, giving up that height. Zack.
03:01:25 Das war's für die Banner.
03:01:42 I don't think there's enough time to hit the res there. I think we play it out as a duo. You focus on getting into that next zone. Most hated mirroring right behind you. Stallions kind of dead center to the north. Still have to push more to fraggies. They don't want to give up high ground just yet. For the teams coming out of that eastern side. NRG and Liquid Alienware throwing down the Dark Veil. There goes Reeds. And well, time is of the essence. And Liquid Alienware takes out Oblivion.
03:02:10 Huge here for Liquid Alienware, too, as Yanya is going to be able to pop that chill bat, though, right before another player comes in right behind him, right on the outskirts of the zone, sliding into what they don't want their DMs to be. Onmoo is the last one alive from KCP, and NRG are looking to profit, but they're feeling pressure from the other teams in the distance. We have so...
03:02:32 Someone to thank for the push that we just witnessed from NRG onto the remaining members of Pioneers. And it's Retsy with the Longbow. NRG back down to a solo. And if Pioneers get a clean reset out here, we could have a new leader, Vicky. I cannot believe the way that this final game is playing out right now.
03:02:54 Currently, the action happening in Fragment East has also not slowed down, as expected, but there's a lot of areas to coexist in, and there is that rat from Space Station still trying to keep the game alive for Space Station, as Vanity are in that building alongside Stallions, most hated, trying to deter Elevate as a duo who are forcing their way into that next circle. Yeah, keep your eyes on the North, like you say. I mean, look, that's where all the things are that are going to occur, but not...
03:03:21 Has to make a play. Has to hit a rotation as a solo. But you say, wait, I'm here for you. Wait, is he going? If Noct steals that Moby that was put down by Elevate, that would be huge here. But that's if Noct doesn't get called out by the duo. That is also right alongside NRG. The solo of that Noct is trying to keep that dream alive here. See the Moby? Right alongside Most Hated. Seeing if maybe Elevate could pull off a miracle here. I love...
03:03:47 Ich denke, das wäre toll. Nrg hat sich nicht gefallen und die Pioneers bekommen, eine weitere Elimination für Most Hated auf der inside. In 16th place overall, ein guter Ending für den Tag wäre nur was sie brauchen, sogar für Weave.
03:04:05 Oh, peekaboo. Open up the door, try to bust in right there. That was scary. And now through the window cracks, they could take chunks out of them. Do they want to capitalize off of this fight, though? Very tricky, because if they take too long here, you know the third party's waiting. How many exhibits did we have down on the entire map right there? Was that three? This is looking like the Apex Legends of old, where every team had locked in a seer. Thanks to...
03:04:34 The old school Furia and his Watson and them getting crazy when they realized what they could do with Sierra. Regardless, still not a top pick. We'll leave Bangalore at about 95% for the time being. Her now will set up shop here in Frag East as Furia has found themselves coexisting alongside of Weave and most hated.
03:04:53 Still on the outskirts. And Elevate was able to use that Moby, by the way, to get their solo back. So now they are a full three-man squad. And they are holding onto the roof, looking down at Most Hated. They needed that. I need that for Elevate, right? They were on the fringe coming into match day number eight. They were a team that needed a must-do.
03:05:18 L-O-T-R, Arcstar in Hand, waiting to make a play
03:05:43 Um, now this is going to be the hard part with seven squads left. The final zone closing in right behind Weave currently trying to make their next move while coexisting with Furia on the high ground here. Oxygen uncontested in their building by Fragment. We know there's so many different ledges to play off of where we currently saw Elevate on top of the roof if they do want to jump on top of that other building.
Elevate sichert sich den Sieg und Furia führt die Gesamtwertung an
03:06:06
03:06:06 SSG, still alive. Furia, your leaderboard. At the top right now, still in the mix. But for now, Weave could play spoiler to a lot of those teams, in particular Furia. But we do need to keep moving. SSG elsewhere has fallen as Elevate has decided to full send oxygen.
03:06:29 Trying to contest here too, while trying to play very slow, getting information off the Sierra Tech. Exhibit called in, but Carter doesn't have his just yet. He's about to have it at 96%. Looking at a different corner, the heartbeat sensor tells him exactly where that player on the outskirts is sitting.
03:06:49 All right, here we go. We've got to exit this building somehow, but hello, surprise! Maybe we should have opened things up with a few frags of our own before we jumped on out right into the open arms of Madness, who grabs that initial knock. Five squads remaining. Now, granted, this could be some of their first eliminations. Weave has fallen, and the onslaught continues. Okay, Keon, it may not be from your setup, but you did just enough to hold onto that. Now, Elevate from the high ground. The Motherlode taking up all of the entire ring.
03:07:18 Die Spieler werden einfach in die Worte gespielt haben.
03:07:36 Called in a Moby that knocked as a solo had to pass. And were able to get the res and height over that final circle. What an amazing play from Zach Mazur and the rest of the squad.
03:07:49 The final circle was insane. I feel like you need to go back and look at a free cam shot of it because you have the Dark Veil just dead center. You've got smokes and then in comes Elevate, right? Motherload in hand. Doesn't even care that we just waltz through the Dark Veil and have no sights because at the end of the day, we're just throwing down the Motherload. We're getting basically all the information from the other teams and you just see them kind of all like on top of each other on the other side. You're just like, I've got this.
03:08:13 It's free. It's free for them to work off of there, too. With the cat wall right in front of them, they were able to also play off the height that they eventually had to drop down in. The rest of the squad remaining in the lobby were fighting right in front of them, and it was just free pickings for Elevate. Because I believe they were lacking a little bit on kills, either 4KP or 5KP, but it's the dub at the end of the day to close out the day for Elevate.
03:08:35 Oh, and you know, that has to make a huge move on the leaderboard for them. Because what were they like 20th, 21st coming into today? And it's like you needed to do everything that you could to even get into regional finals. Now granted North America, you've got 12 slots for split two playoffs. So if you can secure yourself top 20, you play again in regional finals, knowing how the points are so close in the upper echelon of the leaderboard.
03:08:58 Just getting into regional finals could be enough for you and having a solid day like you did today and then just doubling down. You can be in Mannheim, Germany and just what is it like a month and a half?
03:09:10 Time flies by. It's literally right there. It is right there. But it also puts into perspective the way that we're seeing these different legend compositions, what we may be able to see going into split two playoffs. But that was a really big endgame for Elevate, considering that they were tied in 20th with Yup. And that dub alone probably elevates them in the overall standings as we bring back Reinde to break down the action. Because in that final game, my eyes were on Furia. They were on Disguise.
03:09:39 But it was Elevate that came back with the Rez. It was amazing into this game because you did have four different teams vying for a chance to get first place, all significantly impacting their hopes for playoffs and, of course, regional finals. And a great point as well that you brought up.
03:09:58 Und ich glaube, es war Tiff, die gesagt hat, dass du eine Chance hast, mehr Punkte in der Regional Final zu gewinnen. Du hast es, dass du 2nd Platz hast. Das 21 Punkte für 2nd Platz für 2nd Platz ist, um das Ziel zu gewinnen. Und hoffentlich, das wird die push, ein Team wie Elevate. Und ja, Zeit für 20th, currently sitting right auf der Ebene. Das ist eine große Zeit für sie. Aber KCP, SSG, Furia, sie alle hatten eine Chance.
03:10:26 Und Tiff, in terms of...
03:10:53 That option that you've seen displayed here has been the most impactful from a Legend selection. I mean, I've seen Pathfinder probably to me look like this was the Legend that coming into this meta changed the most. But as we look at these match results, any Legend stand out for you that really shifted things? Fuse, 100% Fuse. I love the Pathfinder call out for the rotations, but Fuse and stacking 8 to 12 grenades has just been such a catalyst.
03:11:22 To the entire Metashift. And there's just not many things that you can do to combat that, which is why I feel like we've got the Watsons in play to throw the Jennys down. But the moment you break the Jenny, it's open season.
03:11:34 Absolutely, und ich bin sicher, als wir das Top-10-Oxygen sehen, haben wir ein bisschen ein Moment, aber es wird nicht genug mit Elevante, Fury und Vanity Weed. Wir sind in der Top-5. Wir sind in der Rückseite des Lobby, in Game 6. Vick, das ist die Fuse? Was steht für dich das Fuse? 100 Prozent, es ist das Fuse, denn wir haben Fuse vorhin, wenn er nicht able, die Ring-Console oder die Survey-Beacon war, es war über die 50-50s, bevor die P.O.I. Drafts und wie ihm und Conduit waren.
03:12:04 in contesting a lot of these other teams. Now, not only with the perksism coming in and making those adjustments, Fuse is huge in trying to get information with that mother load. Getting information is what has shifted Fuse into the meta, whether it's scanning where the ring will be or obviously with that mother load and getting scans there. It ends like this. Furia on top in match day number eight over the Pioneers, over SSG, over Disguise to...
03:12:33 You know, we'll be thinking, could we have just figured something out? Will these points come back to haunt them? Who knows? Still obviously a fourth place. Highest overall placement of Split 2. Elevate as well. 47 points. Falcons in 45th. A rare sixth place for them. This is the lowest showing that we have seen from Falcons thus far. I know they don't want to make a habit of it, but they're already going to Germany. So in that way, Tiff, it's kind of okay that they take a little bit of a break.
03:13:03 Also, I was like, this is a bit uncharacteristic from Falcons in general. But hey, a sixth place, that is your worst place finish over the course of two regular season. I mean, look, I'll take it. Yeah. And as we go back over these last three games, we said there might be some switches. Certainly was. There were teams that really started to pop off. We thought, okay, design DSG. Where are they? Well, then they showed up.
03:13:29 And through the fire and the flames, I said it in EMEA, I feel like it's just appropriate. They went through the gauntlet to get to a position like this. And even now against flat feel like, well, look at this. They go to peak. Boom, 100 damage. Well, okay, are we going to push that? But it's the indecision from Mamba or actually what it is. It's that seer queue that shuts down a bush. He's silenced. He doesn't have anything. And I think he says, you know what? Maybe we should back it off. And this really is the turning point design. Pick this up.
03:13:58 DSG, excuse me, pick this up. They rotate, keep that high ground. And then, of course, it's just an easy 2v2 at the end of it as flat lose out. But this was just the beginning. We kind of started to see DSG show up. They would finish with just about the same amount of points, only maybe three more than they got here. But this was a great start and gave them a lot of confidence heading in. Their season's not quite over. They do play tomorrow. But Tiff, walk us through game five.
03:14:23 Yeah, this is that zone that shored up right on the outskirts of Mirage Atoile. Cloud9 had held the high ground alongside Yuff before Furia had prior sent them. This took all the attention off of Yuff and dupe with that G7 scout on the high ground, just keeping everyone in their line of sight. You got Prodigy Aces and Sivian on the low ground watching that zip to make sure that SSG didn't pop up.
03:14:48 really come through here you see the exhibit come out and they just kind of play it conservative but they do all the right things to take all the pressure away and don't let anyone push them ssg kind of wraps around straight towards furia and this kind of allows you so long as the sibian stays up here
03:15:07 Ich bin, okay, das ist wie du convert es zu gewinnen. Dann bringe es zu den finalen, und du hast alles, was du brauchst, um das Führer zu halten, die Führer wurde, auf die Führer wurde, von SSG gewandt. Und es war einfach Plan Approved von dort. Und natürlich, in Game 6, alles verändert sich wieder. Wir sehen uns die action. Es ist wert, dass wir es zurückkehren, Vikk, denn es war knapp bis zum Ende.
03:15:29 Yeah, this was a really intense final circle because there's a lot of areas that coexist with the buildings and frag ease. In this moment, we were so fixated on the team that's right in front of them. They knew that their backs was already closed in from the circle. They weren't going to wrap around because then they just would have been free pickings. But the heartbeat sensor, they know that they can inch forward, but wait for the other squads on the other side of this building with five squads left in this final circle. And then getting stuck with an arc star for Weasel. He just jumps and hopes that maybe the arc star could also act.
03:15:58 Und das ist das, was ihr habt, hier. Kuria, sie brauchen nur ein paar mehr Punkte, wahrscheinlich zu fühlen, aber als SSG gehts, als KCP falls, ich denke, dass es eine Verkaufung ist. Sie nicht den overallen Winn bekommen, aber sie haben natürlich den overallen Winn bekommen, nicht in diesem Spiel.
03:16:22 And now we look to our overall standings as well. Again, a huge, huge showcase for this. We're looking to see who might qualify. We're looking to see, did they do enough? Who did enough to maybe secure a spot? Split two, it is right around the corner. That's the funny thing about this. It feels like we just took a week off and now we only have two weeks and then suddenly it's split two.
03:16:45 Es ist so verrückt, Tiff, aber das ist die Schönheit, Tiff. Du hast die Chancen hier in einem sehr schnellen Moment zu verändern. Eine von diesen Teams hat sich gemacht hat, mit der Clinchung ein spot. Let's go ahead und find es. Es ist SSG, der will be joining Team Falcons in Deutschland, occupier 2.
03:17:09 Now, of those total 12 spots available for North America. Now, Furia, Liquid Alienware, LG, TSM, Pioneers, Bleed Esports, NRG, and Complexity currently holding the top 10 spots. But as we go to that next page, there's those top two, 11 and 12, that will still be available to Cloud9 and Elevate right now. So, Vicky, this is interesting. Elevate, as of now, have done enough.
03:17:37 Will it be enough, though, to send them through? They'll still have a couple match days to figure it out. Yeah, I mean, they are in that 12 spot, and there's only 12 spots from NA to make it into split two land. So still, you want a little bit more wiggle room when you're a point difference away from the likes of C9, but still incredibly tight to see the teams that need to perform from Group A, their last group performance before tomorrow we get to send it off with Groups B and C.
03:18:06 It's just a great showcase here as well and things starting to get very very real again You will see these teams compete
03:18:14 They certainly put themselves with a chance to be in the regional finals. Maybe even something better there if they get a chance to get in. But it is really going to be do or die tomorrow. Because if they can't get top 20, then that is it. Season wrap. So they will not be going. So a lot of pressure there still for that storyline for us to follow along. More Apex action coming up very soon. But right now we've got to give a nod to our high performers of the day. The MVP for Match Day 8 in North America. To me, this one.
03:18:43 Es war nah, aber ich hatte es für jemanden, die nicht nur in-game ist, sondern auch in-game ist. FURIA und KEON haben die Arbeit gemacht.
03:18:55 Sie hatten nicht den richtigen Setup, hatten sie zu einem neuen Ort, die Internet nicht funktionieren. Sie haben einfach mit den Struggeln gehalten und noch nicht gehalten. Ich weiß nicht, ob es hilft, ich weiß nicht, ob es hilft. Aber am Ende des Tages ist einfach das, was du musst, um zu sein, zu sein. Und wenn es in-game ist, oder außerhalb des Spiels, ist das zu tun, um das Team zu tun, mit Vaxelon und Madness zufrieden. Und auch die Top Damage Dealer des Tages, als auch die Top Kill-Leaders.
03:19:24 This is just an MVP-level performance. 10 kills, 11 assists. Top damage dealer. Man was a menace. MVP goes to Keyon today. Congratulations, and well, well deserved. Dev, I love stories like that. Just give us the opportunity to highlight somebody who, you know, doesn't make excuses and just gets the job done.
03:19:48 That's the way to do it. And honestly, I think it was their first overall matchday win of Split 2 regular season. Well, you know, I'm getting, I just got some news. I'm surprised. I thought, you know, the setup wasn't right. We obviously love talking to winners and MVPs. Well, I guess Keon is here with us and he's figured it out. Keon, what is up, man? Congratulations on a big win. We heard it's been a crazy day for you, but you guys got the dub.
03:20:16 Yes, sir. Yeah, it's been definitely a day, dude. Just an hour before I OGS, my internet just kicked off and they said it was like a scheduled outage till like 8 p.m. Oh, man. I literally grabbed my controller. I called my brother. I was like, hey, dude, are you home? I need you to install Apex. He's like, all right, come over. I got you, bro. So I'm not a mess. This is not my room. This is my brother.
03:20:38 You blame it on the brother, huh? Yeah. Maybe the messy room is a secret, dude. We won.
03:20:47 Well, that's to me what I wanted to ask you first, because you were top damage dealer in the lobby. You guys won the day, and yet you have probably in an online internet competition the worst thing that could happen. Your internet goes out. So what was it about today that just worked? Was it the mentality? Did some of this somehow actually make it easier to just focus on playing since you couldn't control all the real-life stuff? I mean, talk to me. What was going on in your head and why things worked out for you guys to take the win today?
03:21:16 Well, I mean, leading all the way up to it, like this whole week, we've been, I mean, the last two weeks of Scrims has been, like, you know, a little rough, but we've been figuring it out. We've been finding our identity after, like, the changes and, like, swapping the comps. You know, we used to love the Lifeline, and we swapped to the Pathfinder pick. But, yeah, my teammates played insane, and we've been, like, really, like, clicking recently, like, these last two weeks. And then also, like, today, yeah, man, like, I think, like...
03:21:41 The difference between other days and today is that I have time to think about it. Today, it was like I got to drive 40 minutes and get my stuff set up really fast and get it downloaded. I didn't have time to overthink things. Honestly, I think that's what made the difference. I had to literally pull up to work, shoes on, ready to go.
03:22:03 Hey, well, it paid off. So congratulations on your matchday win. Now, look, you kind of talked about something that I was going to ask you about because we have all this diversity in terms of the legend compositions and you're locking in Pathfinder and you're looking pretty good on it. Do you feel like with Pathfinder kind of coming back into the now I'm not going to call it meta. It's still a niche pick. But do you think that opens you up a lot more to make plays alongside your team? Yeah, absolutely. Like I've been playing.
03:22:31 Incompetitive, I've only ever played the Anchor character and the Anchor role with playing Watson, Caustic, and Lifeline. Having a character that gives a controller player movement, that's why Horizon was so good, in my opinion, for controller players. I feel like it unleashes me, but also it makes me able to help my teammates more because I'm not afraid to take those risky angles.
03:22:58 All those risky childs that I would be more worried about if I was playing Catalyst.
03:23:04 That's really interesting to hear, especially knowing now the flexibility that Pathfinder brings. Let's be honest, Pathfinder's OG too, so if you feel yourself fragging out, you get to now get that grapple reset. But today was DL of Furia, and you were able to come out on top with you highlighting the way that your team's played today. Do you want to give a little bit of insight to how that midseason patch has impacted you guys? Coming out of scrims not being so great, but yet you turn things around on a day that actually matters when the tournament begins.
03:23:34 Das war's.
03:23:35 Yeah, I mean, coming out of the mid-season patch, like, we just didn't really know what was going to happen. We tried Fuse before, and, like, it just didn't fit me. Like, I couldn't play the Fuse role very well. Obviously, Controller, no Dead Zone, a little bit of State Drift, like, I'm messing up the angles of the Qs. But then, like, when we just kind of decided that, like, oh, we can just drop, like, Seer on Stormpoint, and, like, I get to play Double Path on both maps, and then, like, it allows Madness to do literally, like...
03:24:04 He gets to play the Ability Legend, so he knows exactly where he wants things. And it just unlocks him. And then Vax is just the best bang in the world right now. I don't know. He's just cooking. He's happy to be here, you know, just smoking for us and getting angles, getting kills. Yeah, I mean, we just had like a little rough patch.
03:24:22 After Madness' surgery and all that, dude, we've been fighting through it over here at Furia, I guess, you know, power outages. It wasn't just Madness' knee, it was Vax's power. I moved all of his setup to my place that then just had an outage, so I had to leave my place and come here. Like, oh man, we've been fighting everything outside of the game, not even the game.
03:24:42 Well, you know, what's interesting about a situation like that is sometimes, not every time, that tends to bring a team together under these circumstances. And it feels like it's worked out for you all to galvanize and work together to be better. And I think that's a great sign today. You look phenomenal. I kind of want to leave it on this. Heading into you play tomorrow, you know, obviously we're looking forward towards LAN. You know, what's the story here? I mean, is there a redemption arc for you guys? Is there something to prove?
03:25:11 Feel like a chip on your shoulder? I mean, what is it going into it? Because you're a team that we're really paying attention to right now. Yeah, I mean, we are top three in the world, I think. Especially in North America. Yes, Falcons, obviously, they have all the accomplishments. They have the stack team, right? SSG is a brand new stack team, quote-unquote super teams. But I think we're just super under the radar. If you look at like...
03:25:39 The consistency sake for scrims in general overall, minus just the little rough set that we had, we're literally just small points percentages behind those two teams. So yeah, we've got a chip on our shoulders, dude. We didn't even make grand finals this last line, and a lot of it was also my fault. I threw a lot of our qual games. So I have a chip on my shoulder, and we all want to win, and we all know that we have the championship potential.
03:26:07 We're trying to get rid of that classic Furia second. We're trying to play for the win. Heck yeah, we've got chips on our shoulders and we're just trying to show you guys what we can do. I love it, man. Well, congratulations. You guys played phenomenally. Congrats on the MVP handling all these obstacles and still coming out with the dub. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, first MVP. Gotta love it.
03:26:30 All right, Keon of Furia, they win the day. He wins the MVP, and we'll be seeing more of him for sure. They're looking like one of the favorites heading into it, and I'm excited. I know Furia fans around the world think he said it best. Dia de Furia, certainly it was today in North America. Okay, guys, looking to wrap it up. Tip, it's been a great day so far. I mean, in North America, we've seen legend changes, so many things. What are your final thoughts as we look to close the show here for our Match Day 8?
03:27:01 It's so refreshing to hear from Keon and Furia with that chip on their shoulder. Final thoughts for me, man. I just cannot wait to see what that regional final is going to look like. But for Groups B and even Group C that played out today, if you're not in contention to land yourself into regional finals, you have to set your heart ablaze and give it your all tomorrow. Set your heart ablaze. I mean, that's an attack on Titan. Is that what it is? That's AOT? No, what is that? He's a Demon Slayer. Is that Demon Slayer?
03:27:31 Okay, I don't know. I miss it. Vic, I want to make sure. Do you get a chance for some final thoughts? Yes, I do, actually. Maybe from Kaiju No. 8 that I know that Tiff is definitely backing up out here. I got to feel the Tide and Armor coming in, too. Because right now, Group A...
03:27:50 Und jetzt sehen wir, wo diese Teams haben sich in. Mit einem mehr Zeit für Nordamerika zu stellen, wer ist in der Top 20 für dieses Regional Final? Es wird alles sein, weil wir sehen, dass diese Teams, sie haben keine Probleme, die sie brauchen. Die Frage ist, wie consistent sind diese Teams in den Wien? Es ist nicht sogar Top 3, es ist über die Dubs. Und jetzt...
03:28:14 With Regional Finals around the corner, we've got to welcome another team to join the rest of the 12 squads that will be making over to Split 2 Land from North America. It starts to feel real, doesn't it? You start to see some teams punching their tickets, and everyone else wants to be a part of that list. Well, thank you so much, Tim, and thank you again, Vicky, as well. What a great show it's been. It's always awesome working with you, too. I'll see you very, very soon.
03:28:36 Maybe that's you, though.
03:29:05 And you can obviously catch that right when it starts. But of course, after that, we'll be having our match day nine here in EMEA. We'll do North America as well. Group A done and dusted. But B and C, they have still got more action in.
03:29:22 So stay tuned for all of that as well. I want to give a huge shout out to everyone behind the scenes who put this together. Esports Engine, EA, and Apex Legends as a game. In the meantime, why don't you go play it? A lot of break time. Get some legend practice. Check out some perks and make sure to stay connected. We go live tomorrow for Match Day 9. It's going to be a fun one. And thank again to Tiff, to Vicky, and to every one of you who's been watching today. My name is Rain Day. And as always, remember to never give up. Never stop.
03:29:51 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
03:30:03 Outro
03:30:52 ARD Text im Auftrag von Funk
03:31:20 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
03:31:42 So we thought it might be an even match here, but I don't think so. It's a furious performance from Furia. And it looks like with that KP, it'll make it a 2v2. SSG has to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
