ALGS Year 3 NALCQ: Turnierübersicht und Teamvorstellungen
00:05:09
00:05:09 Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to yet another interesting, exciting, and informative day. To inform us, of course, who is going to make it to our ALGS Championships and who is going to be left behind. You do not want to be in that second category, but you've got six games at least in a match point final style to prove that you belong. Two teams will travel on to Birmingham in September 18.
00:05:32 We'll watch from the sidelines. Let's find out who it is as we open up the show of the NALCQ. My name is Rain Day and I am joined by some of my favorite talent across the world. We had a big EMEA show. We took a small break and we are back to finish off the day. And of course, to get us started with introductions, it's none other than Mark Onset Hatcher. How you feeling, man, about this performance that we saw in EMEA? And of course, translating now into a whole new region with North America.
00:06:06 This gives us an idea of the roster scramble as well, keeping up to date with some of these new nuances of these teams, some of the
00:06:35 und die neue Spieler, die sich auf die Szene zu sagen, wow, wir müssen sie haben. Dan, natürlich, aufsetzend zu sein. Wie fühlst du nach N.A. und das LCQ, mein Mann? N.A., ich meine, da sind 9 Challenger Teams, so ein bisschen anders von Amir, wo wir nur vier haben, aber viele former Pros haben in der Pro-League, das haben sich in den Pro-League, das haben jetzt gefunden, haben sich auf neue Teams in Challenger zu versuchen.
00:06:59 It's actually quite interesting to look at how we have seen
00:07:25 I think the progress of North America and EMEA as regions when it comes to LAN play. They've actually had a chance to go toe-to-toe. We've been not into regional for a very long time in Apex going through these years. And especially if you're in the crowd and you're in those moments, it's even more special. If you missed what happened just last week in London where all of the regions clashed like they will in the championships, here's a little teaser to show you what it was like.
00:07:56 in London.
00:09:45 It was an exciting time, for sure. And just seeing Dark Zero lift that trophy yet again for the third time in the modern era of Apex Lands. It's special. Can they do it again? We will find out if it comes to champs. Absolutely. You know, I think, too, the other thing that I kind of wanted to...
00:10:02 hit on is that if you haven't been around champs and you don't know following up to this, we have most of our teams qualified for this event, but we have the last few this weekend being basically decided for this and it's going to be
00:10:15 A moment you do not want to miss. Whether you're a fan of Dark Zero, of LG Chivas, who perform really well, Firebeavers, who have tried to enter into this fray, having such a great online performance, translating that to LAN, having some issues, complexity as well, the personality of Monsoon, F-Chan with Pulverax, Alliance, the strong and maybe disappointing showcase. All these teams will be there.
00:10:38 in our championship. And we are continuing to show you this list because it just gets better. We crowned Go Next and LCDF their spots as well, which was super exciting. And also we're having a chance to add on the tally with two NA teams today. One of the most exciting things about it is that the champion states, championship dates, excuse me, are set. It is September 6th through 10th.
00:11:05 in Birmingham, UK. Get your tickets right here. Use that link in the middle of your screen. You can just take a look at it for a moment. Type that into your browser or your mobile phone and make sure you grab your tickets now because they are running out. We sold out for split two playoffs. You know we're selling out for championships, especially because it's at the brand new for us venue of Resorts World Arena, Birmingham, UK. Like I said, September 6th through 10th.
00:11:29 Join us, whether you're a community member, whether you're traveling with a group or maybe alone. Have a new experience and be a part of a community that will welcome you, especially as we have had our third trip to England this year. Very exciting stuff. And Mark and Dan, I know you haven't had to travel that far, but actually, Dan, you kind of have to spend a lot of time in the car to get to where we are. So it tends to be almost as long as half a plane flight anyways.
00:11:52 On the car, on the plane, I'm all over the place nowadays. Am I in England? Am I in America? Who knows? I like to keep people on their toes. I like to dip between regions just like we are today. And you know, North America has brought champions. I guess Dark Zero are kind of a North American team as well nowadays. I still want to say it was very impressive that they moved to the most dominant region and still then qualify and still win. Very impressive stuff as they continue to surprise us every single time.
00:12:18 Yeah, and there won't be an empty arena, that's for sure. You'll see people yelling, whether it's vexed or, well, obviously, even if they're not, since they're not qualified, still, you'll see representation from that fan base, no matter where they go, Alliance and Dark Zero. But if you did miss it, here's just an honorary kind of video for what our fans bring to the table in terms of energy at these live events. Let's go, Dream Fire! Let's go, MD1! Vamos Luminosity! Let's go, TSM! Let's go, Alliance!
00:12:50 Let's go Dreamfire! Let's go Jaylings! Let's go Dark Zero! Let's go Dreamfire! Let's go Dark Zero! Let's go E6, let's go! Let's go E6, let's go!
00:13:16 Passion, Marc. That's really all there is to say. Yeah, I mean, some of the noises that were being made by the fans were rocking the stage while we were there. It was crazy, dude. And some of the signs, I've got to say, to this day, the most technologically advanced signage we have ever seen in eSports events. There was LEDs. There was all kinds of stuff going in there. Honestly, it's amazing that everyone turns up in such numbers every single time we have a LAN event. And Champs is going to be a special one. If you think Split 1 and Split 2 was good, the playoffs, well...
00:13:44 Champs is going to be a different beast altogether, so don't miss out.
00:13:47 MDY White, those neon signs, that was pretty cool as well. I love their APAC representation. All right, let's take a look back to the LCQ and kind of hone in on the micro discussion that we have here because we have teams that are trying to make it into that illustrious tournament and they haven't had a chance yet to prove that they are there. Some of the teams you'll see in a moment have actually been at playoffs, didn't perform well. They're here competing again to try to redeem themselves. And here's how it will go. We're playing at least six games today. I want to point that out.
00:14:16 Das Format ist ähnlich wie der Matchpoint-Finals-Format, die du in Apex-Legends-Competitiv bist. Aber es hat eine große Veränderung. Wir werden sechs Games spielen, no matter was. So, wenn eine Team auf die Matchpoint-Quickly, sagen wir, nach drei und fünf, oder vielleicht auch nach vier, wir werden die sechs spielen. Das ist in Ordnung.
00:14:38 After six games, who is rightfully in the second place position in terms of overall points? Or maybe even first in terms of points, but just obviously didn't win our match point system. All in all, that will qualify the two top performing teams having a spot in our ALGS Year 3 Championship. And Dan, we saw it work out in EMEA. Obviously, it didn't go before six, but it is possible in North America, maybe the region to do so.
00:15:02 Ja, vielleicht, vor allem die Dominanz von der Region zu sehen, wir vielleicht sehen, dass ein Team uns einfach aus dem Wasser aussehen wird. Und ich liebe diese Veränderung, ich denke, es ist gut für die Kompetitive Integrität, für die Spieler und auch für die Fans, um zu machen, dass wir zumindest 6-7-8-Games sind, aber nur in der off-chance, dass jemand dominates, wie sie vorher schon gemacht haben, in den Regionen haben, wir müssen sicher, dass wir die richtige Amount für alle.
00:15:27 It's definitely possible to happen. We will see though, of course, last game was a bit of a slow burn with a high crescendo with many teams on Matchpoint. We'll see if that continues here. For the overall participants, you've got a lot of names that you probably recognize if you're a fan of North America, but a lot of new names as well.
00:15:46 Und in diesen neuen Namen, vielleicht auch ein paar olden Namen. Ich denke, die Dojo steht. Es ist Timmy, der größte Streamer und Content Creators in Apex Legends. Sie spielen hier competitively mit Bronzy, Designful, und Enemy in der Repräsentation der Dojo. Es gibt viele Teams hier, die ihr könnt ihr eyehen und haben eine Gespräche über.
00:16:04 Yeah, 100%. I mean, some huge names, right? You've got Meat Lovers. Tech, once again, finding a way to get a team together to be in this position. I almost feel like Tech deserves it. After all, he's been through this split, to be honest with you. You know, love him or hate him, the guy has been through the ringer. And certainly, I think Meat Lovers fans, which there are a lot of out there, will want to see them qualifying for the championships. But then you look at a Furia. You've got them in there as well. E8, some huge names there as well. Dropping Gaming, the same could be said. Team Stability. I mean, like you say, take your pick. There's some good challengers.
00:16:33 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, aber die Names werden nicht mehr missen. Und das ist immer eine schwierige Sache, das zu sagen, dass das in der eigenen Meinung ist. Ja, das ist jetzt wo wir in der Zeit sind. Wir sind jetzt in der letzten Zeit, in der letzten Event.
00:16:48 Teams have already been playing, though. If you want to know, the Dojo, that team I just mentioned with It's Timmy and Bronzy, and by the way, just having had the opportunity to cast It's Timmy in some of these more casual competitive events sponsored by other teams, other companies, my goodness, is that guy on fire in terms of at least his mechanical skill and know-how. It has worked and transitioned well to get 10 points here. Furia following behind with Meat Lovers right after that, guys. But this will be how they head into this.
00:17:17 So if they do well, we could see Matchpoint very, very soon. Leading into today, though, we have to pick a little bit and choose in terms of the stories that we go after and at least highlight in the beginning of the broadcast, which is why I want to kick off our ones to watch. Mark, I'll start with you. Who is your one to watch heading into North America's LCQ?
00:17:40 I'm watching Furia, and somebody has to say it a lot, right? It's been a bit of turmoil. Obviously, Chan, you know, playoffs did not go their way. Very disappointed performance. His Watson announces that he's going to be stepping down from competitive and focusing on his content creation. This was what happened. 37th place overall.
00:17:57 Nothing short of disappointing. And I think that everybody was expecting something to change with the lineup. Maybe his Watson retiring was somewhat surprised. We'll hope to see him back in the future. We have seen, of course, people coming out of retirement when an opportunity does arise. But what a player to pick up. They picked up Albreleli, who I just feel like has been looking for us somewhere to consistently call home.
00:18:16 Yeah, Furia are a very terrifying team, especially when you add Albert Lely. I'm gonna look at...
00:18:37 Another terrifying team. Usually I go for a team who's finished first, but now I'm going to go for a little bit of a curveball. I'm going to go for the Meat Lovers, because they are a squad who always seem to be there or thereabouts, getting involved in LCQs, getting close to it. They didn't quite make it to playoffs, but during Pro League, they certainly showed that they can hang with the biggest of dogs. Tech does it again. I always think that Tech has a great brain for Apex Legends, so I'm excited to see what they can do today. They have points to start with in this finals lobby.
00:19:06 und eine gute Möglichkeit zu erreichen. Und ich sage Ihnen, es wäre eine gute Geschichte für nicht nur Tech, aber das gesamte Roster, wenn sie so können, speziell mit einem neuen Pickup. Wir werden sehen, ob sie es geschafft haben, aber sicherlich ein Team zu halten.
00:19:21 Well, one team that I was going to look at, Dan and Mark, was the Dojo. And if you look at their performance yesterday, It's Timmy scored more kills in that tournament leading up to this than any other team beneath him. He himself had 36 kills. They finished with 162 points. That is insane. And so, of course, we had to make...
00:19:42 Our man in Spain on the scene. Well, not really, but I guess, you know, we can call him on the scene here. Dia on his vacation, break down the dojo for us and what we can expect today.
Dojo im Fokus: Analyse eines Challenger Teams
00:19:53
00:19:53 Hello, everyone. It's Dia, back with an update on our NALCQ teams. This time, from the Challenger Circuit, we've got the Dojo showing up in the finals. Now, the Dojo are an interesting team. With Timmy, Designful, and Enemy, they were always meant to frag out, but this wasn't happening during the Challenger Circuit. They were running into a lot of problems, overextending, and in the chaos of Challenger Circuit, oftentimes fell a bit short of the mark.
00:20:21 In LCQ, that has been very different. Timmy, Designful, and Enemy on paper are always players that are going to outplay perhaps even 1v3 you. They've been doing that over the course of this weekend. So when it comes to finals, what can we expect? Well, based on Challenger Circuit, that's hard to tell. Based on what we've seen so far, they are going to individually be absolutely destroying everyone in the lobby. So keep your eyes on the dojo.
00:20:50 You know, when I was young, guys, I had a project as a kid. My dad had to help me build an actual dojo for, you know, one of those presentations. And I remember it going quite well. You know, I think that the dojo and I have had synergy. I've highlighted them early. Diaz highlighted them early. Mark, are you trying to look it up online? Mark, have you never seen the Karate Kid?
00:21:14 Ja, aber ein Dojo ist eine große Bühne, richtig? Ja, wir haben eine Bühne gebaut. Okay, ich dachte, das war richtig. Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein.
00:21:25 Makes more sense now. Sure. I didn't have enough money back then to lease a plot of land and build one on there. But at that point, I could go to Home Depot. Your dad was going to work at a young age. He's got you on the digger. He's got you doing the brickwork. He's got you doing the plastering. I'm like, fair play. Industriousness needs to be incentivized early. Plus, how do you think those dojos just appear in the world? You know, someone's got to build them.
00:21:48 Someone has to. Wow, I've learned that it's you. A business in Dojo building for Rain Day is something like that. Every day is a school day. Dojo day. Dojo day. Okay, all jokes aside and great stories by Rain Day aside, I want to talk a little bit about these content creator streamer first.
00:22:08 Teams and players specifically transitioning into the LGS because a lot of times we see a pro transition into a content creator. They become a very big streamer. People want to watch them grind ranks. His Watson's a great example of that in some ways. But I also see like Timmy is so clearly with the dojo a content creator first and dipping his toes back into competitive because he's so good at the game.
00:22:32 I don't know, what are your thoughts on that just in general, Dan? We've seen it work out in multiple ways different times, but it feels like Timmy and Design and Enemy, they've got something going on here. I mean, guys who have played in the Pro League before, so they know what they're doing, and then you add Timmy who, I mean, even if you're a content creator, you're still playing this game so much and putting so much time and effort and destroying pros in ranked. It's not like he doesn't know what he's doing. I mean, we see it sometimes where I think people...
00:22:58 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
00:23:26 If they play like that today, we might see a team get on to match point in a few games. And we might see our first time ever going to six games when a team's already won this thing. That's how well they were playing yesterday. But have they burnt out? Have all that energy kind of been expelled in yesterday's matches? Or can they carry on with fine form? I think it's a great point. And, you know, Mark, I want to get your thoughts on this after we come out of our next piece here. But just to wrap up, Dan.
00:23:51 My thing is, if you are a content creator, sometimes that's the life people try to get to in terms of a lot of people, you don't have to work harder than you're working because that pro league is just an...
00:24:02 It takes an internal motivation to take that on as well and try to compete at the highest level. So kudos to Timmy, kudos to, you know, all of our content creators pros and how they intermingle in this community. It really, really makes this such a dynamic experience for watching our favorite players continue to go. So we'll continue to highlight those stories, but also right now I want to highlight another story that happened in-game on Monday. That's right, another stories of the Outlands dropped from Apex Legends.
Neue 'Stories from the Outlands': Kill Code Teaser
00:24:32
00:24:32 One of the best at telling these narratives. So let's go ahead and take a look at Kill Code, their latest feature.
00:25:11 Geht your lord and savior? Mads! Hohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho
00:25:34 I don't talk to syndicate scum. But we gon' take him down. I meant you. Skudge, skudge, skudge. Go away and you lot lose your menace. Shameful. Things have changed, Max. Oh, but I ain't changed, skudge. Eduardo's got you scant. Why?
00:26:01 Why? This will show you why. I don't like this place.
00:26:30 What did you want here? What I want is to punch him in his dumb little glasses. Duaro, come out, come out, wherever you are. I only want a 40. There's more of these all over the Outlands. This is big Maggie. Very big. Who are you looking at?
00:27:04 Vielen Dank.
00:28:04 Unterestimate a good accessory. Come on now, I'm gonna get out of ya. I'm hurt, AJ. You think I'd start a job without an escape route?
00:28:29 Meine einzige Hoffnung wissen, was Dwarf zu tun ist auf diese Trife. Vielleicht. Ah, ihr EG-Hit-Pow will es herausfinden. Gibt es einen Schut-Eye, ey?
00:29:02 It is interesting, guys. We don't usually see a Part 1 and a Part 2, so I'm very, very curious after watching that, what they have in store for us in just about a week's time, eight days to be exact, to end the month here in July. Boy, a lot of fun stuff happening. Mark, we did find out it's not Bernardo Silva, the famous footballer, but Eduardo Silva, Octane's dad, which could be helpful. Keep my eyes on that for a second there. I was like, wait, is this a crossover? I was like, it's not.
00:29:30 I wouldn't be surprised. Teams are LG Chivas. I mean, let's talk about it. Let's go. I'm ready. I'm ready for the collaboration. Bring some Apex and some BPL. I'm all about it. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're very excited to get into it. The LCQ is here for North America. We will be deciding who goes through and we will start it off.
00:29:53 mit World's Edge. Das wird unsere Start-up-Map und wir werden nicht alle drei in der traditionellen sechs-Games-Setz, es wird alle zwei. So wir werden viele Verlust auf World's Edge in den ersten sechs. Kann diese Teams auf die Plätze und finden sich zu Birmingham in September gehen? Wir werden natürlich finden, und ich habe zwei gute Leute, die uns durch die Aktionen zu bringen. So wir gehen jetzt, Marc und Dan, machen wir es.
00:30:22 Es wird es wie EMEA, wo man nicht die Unterschiede zwischen so vielen Gruppen und es dauert uns bis zum Match 6 zu haben. Aber als es passiert, die Floodgates öffnen und wir haben sechs Gruppen
00:30:52 zu match point, in match number 8, when it was finally done and dusted. In North America, maybe it could be a bit different.
00:31:07 Ja, ja.
00:31:33 Ich habe das Gefühl, das ist ein Acclimatiser-Zone für sicher. Fury fans rejoice. Das ist die perfekte Zone für die perfekte Start-To-The-Day für sie. Sie sind ein Team, die wir sicherlich expecten, in die Gespräche, wenn es um Qualifikation geht. Und sie haben noch viel Arbeit zu tun, natürlich. Aber es ist ein Ziel, das ist ein Ziel, das ist ein Acclimatiser-Zone, das kann ein schwieriges Ziel zu werden.
00:31:54 und eine Ring-Console, smiles all around for Furia.
Spielanalyse und Teamstrategien in World's Edge
00:32:23
00:32:23 For the other squads and for our other big team, the Dojo are going to have to move all the way from Thermal. So if they are going to go on any sort of spree like they did yesterday, they might just destroy a lobby as they traverse the land. We'll have to see how they play.
00:32:39 I mean, for the Dojo, I think they don't care where Zone goes. They'll just fight their way to it. The question is, is the quality of this lobby's teamfighting good enough to slow them down? Will they continue that momentum? By the way, if you didn't see the Dojo's performance yesterday, I implore you to go back and watch. It was quite something. Timmy was 1v3 in people. Simon was playing some absolutely insane stuff. Enemy alongside him, really filling in the gaps beautifully. Aporia, speaking of filling in the gaps, are going to be filling in one of the positions.
00:33:05 Hier in Climatizer, early on. They made a really quick rotate here in towards where they believe Zone is going to be going. Elsewhere as well, Ryza, they're heading right to the northern side of this Zone to try and rotate in as well. EA already on their way towards Epicenter as well. So a lot of teams making that early rotate as you would expect. But the one team that isn't is the Dojo. They are looting the entirety of Thermal Station. Probably just aware that it's the furthest away Zone for them to get to. So they need to be looted suitably to fight their way in.
00:33:33 So, Furya hat die Information, dass es dort werden werden, und ich bin sehr interessiert, ob sie versuchen, eine Statement zu machen, oder ob sie mehr als möglich sein sollen, in der aktuellen Location zu sein. Wenn ich mich, dann wahrscheinlich die Lattern. Ich denke, Sie sind in einer der besten Spots, Furya, und sie können jetzt hier einfach nur warten und warten für die ganze Spiel zu spielen. Unless, natürlich, die Circle geht, und sich nur ein bisschen weg von Climatisern, dann sollte es gut für die Majority sein.
00:34:02 Something we mentioned at the top of the show, but in case anyone is joining us, as the games start, we have nine Challenger Circuit teams competing here in the LCQ, which is a ridiculous amount for how successful they've been to get to this point, fighting their way through winner's bracket, elimination bracket. It doesn't matter how they got here, they are here now. And I would love to see a Challenger team make it to the championships. Now, the Dojo, who dominated, are a Challenger team, so certainly is a good chance of it happening.
00:34:30 Now we're going to see E8 already moving into the position, which is just underneath, where Fury have found themselves a little bit earlier. You saw the rotating, you saw the outlines from the CAQ, but they weren't able to do anything about it. The dojo, though, is only right that we jump on board with them. Now, after a masterful display, I think there was some talk yesterday about them being able to get 200 points or something at one point during the lobby. I mean, that's how dominant it was. That's a lot of points, just to kind of put it in.
00:34:56 Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr guter Punkt für alle. Ich denke, sie endet mit 100 und... ...a lot. 100 und a lot, aber nicht die 200. Aber nicht nur die 200, die sie für einen Punkt waren. Aber es war nicht nur die Fache, dass sie alles verletzten. Es war die Fache, dass sie gewinnen. Es war die Fache, dass sie gewinnen. Ich bin sehr sicher, dass sie gewonnen haben. In der Elimination Bracket Final. So, ich meine... Excuse mich, in der Winterside. So, ich denke, es wird eine interessante...
00:35:20 kind of journey for them to see if they can continue with that form today elsewhere on the map though everyone working their way in at the moment furia we mentioned them they're bang inside a zone ksr they're in zone dropping gaming they're there rise also in there aporia we mentioned and also one team that i want to give a shout out to by the way with the greatest name that i think i've ever seen in apex legends is chadimus prime v2 i love that yeah chadimus prime v2 v1 not chatty enough nope
00:35:46 Das ist mehr Kills als andere Team in der Lobby.
00:36:06 Timmy was out killing entire teams of the entire lobby. That's how many kills he was able to get during the winners bracket. So if they do play like that, it's going to be a quick situation where people are getting to match point very fast. But of course, as these lobbies change and as they develop, suddenly rotations change and maybe people are taking less risks and playing a little bit more zone heavy and you might not be able to.
00:36:30 Maybe prey on those who are being a little bit more exposed in their rotation. So we'll have to see with how Dojo play, but everyone has been making the move pretty quickly over towards Climatizer. No early fights to really speak of in the last few moments. Instead, everyone's more than happy to just keep their distance. Yeah, Chadimus Prime just made a little bit of a decision there. You saw they were moving towards Overlook. I think they were looking to hit the ring console or maybe the survey beacon.
00:36:54 auf der Weg nach der Zone ein bisschen mehr. Aber sie wurden pinged, als sie es bei jemandem hittet. Also, sie haben gesagt, hey, wir können uns nicht so excited über einen early fighten. Wir können uns über den Weg nach der Zone gehen. Wir können uns über den Weg nach der Zone gehen. Wir können uns also sehen, Native Gaming ist in der Bühne, einfach außerhalb der Climatizer. Wir sehen uns auf die Position, die sie können oder machen. Profit ist auf die 3.01.
00:37:23 Double light combo at the moment for him, and it's always good to see a little bit of Caustic. Mamba gonna be rocking the Caustic in this lobby, and composition's always a talking point, Dan. And in this lobby, I'm sure it's gonna be no exception. Yeah, there was a distinct lack of Caustic in EMEA earlier, which meant the endgames were a little less smelly, but maybe it's going to be a bit different now we get into North America, as we have a little tip over to Dojo again. It's just gonna be eating the zone for now, but...
00:37:47 Compositions are a tough one, especially when it's a new lobby. I mean, these guys would have played against each other throughout Winner's Bracket, throughout Elimination Bracket, but of course this will be a new collection of 20 teams to try and work out who does what. And I always feel like Game 1 is a real feeler where teams are trying to suss out what is going down and how everyone is going to be playing. And for the most part, we have what?
00:38:08 Four, five teams, if you count Meat Lovers, outside of the first circle. Everyone else has made their way towards Climatiser, or at least the surrounding areas. This is a very zone-heavy lobby right now, and not really surprised, because we've seen that that's the most effective method at the moment in playing the game in the current meta. One team is having a little bit of a scrap. You can see the northern side is going to be most hated Meat Lovers, just outside of Survey Camp.
00:38:32 Interested to see how that one goes. Ape Gam, maybe thinking about a third party as well, as you can see on your screens for just a second. Flat inside of Zone, outside of the main buildings, but sometimes we do see the Zones pull towards where they find themselves now, in that kind of compound. But it's a difficult one to hold down for the endgame, Dan. But just because you have, yes, the fence is around you, but there's so many grated areas that can be shot through from all angles. It's difficult to reset if you do take damage. Our Meat Lovers are taking damage of their own, but also outputting a lot of damage. They have eight points to start with today.
00:39:02 Ich glaube, es ist einfach nicht so wichtig. Vielleicht ist es einfach in den Kopf. Vielleicht ist es einfach in den Kopf.
00:39:26 Mosh Hated jetzt arbeiten sie zu der Norte. Das war die Team, die sich auf die Miet-Lovers und es scheint, beide Teams haben entschieden, dass das Early-Fight nicht wert ist. Mosh Hated geht es um den Norte nach und versuchen, von der Norte nach. Inside der SurveyCamp ist das, wo wir jetzt die Miet-Lovers finden. Und die neue Edition, Jeyun, ist auf die Schrein jetzt. Eine Controller, Fragger, wird es um...
00:39:52 Well, he will be hoping, excuse me, he'll be able to pick up a few kills for his squad alongside Luxford. But at the moment, a pretty calm start to this, Dan. Only one player been eliminated so far, let alone a team. Everyone has found somewhere to play. And this sets us up quite nicely for what is going to be a...
00:40:09 Ich würde sagen, eine sehr interessante Zone 3.
00:40:38 Es ist Stallions vs. Chathamus Prime.
00:41:08 Die Dahl-Vehrer werden mit den Dahl-Vehrer geboten, so sie können hier sein. Aber jetzt ist es jetzt zu sehen, wo es schwierig wird. Naive Gaming ist, dass sie ein bisschen dämlich haben. Sie haben die Caustik, obwohl Mamba wird wiederholfen. Die Reset-Abilität ist, natürlich, von Playing-Caustik macht es so schwer zu pushen. Aber es ist in der gleichen Position, eine Spieler aus dem Lobby. Naive Gaming wurde das kill.
00:41:33 But 20 squads still alive, 2 minutes 10 left on zone number 3 Stallions, yeah, Chathamers, Prime, DNO and Meatlovers outside of the zone currently And the dojo, they're in Skyhook
00:41:44 Just this lobby is ridiculous for names. The two teams that win this, by the way, I hope they do get picked up by an organization. So I don't have to say Guardians vs Meat Lovers vs Dojo, but I tell you what, it puts a smile on my face. By the way, Dojo are in Skyhook still, so they are having the longest rotation. They wanted to get Ring Console and get as much info as possible, but they are not going to be arriving and fighting anytime soon. Meat Lovers also made their journey down towards the southern side of Fragment, so they're looking to do something similar.
00:42:14 Vielen Dank.
00:42:30 Interessant to see this rotate actually from Meat Lovers and the decision they made. They wrapped all the way from Survey Camp to the position they find themselves. Just kind of on the peak of Epicenter at the moment. This big ridge that a lot of teams hold down for some of those fragment zones. But Meat Lovers instead, maybe they're looking to mirror someone here. Maybe they're spotting out a few positions and to try in third party and kind of sneak their way into zone. But for now, Purple Armor is all around. You can see the Ult Excel is being popped by the Valkyrie as well. So maybe they're thinking of a Skyward Dive here.
00:42:58 Ja, ich denke, es wird ein interessiert. Ich meine, wo du gehst? Wir haben bereits gesehen, wie congested Klimatiser ist, aber ich denke, dass es nur ein Weg zu finden ist, und das geht um in den Sky. Die Killfeed ist ein bisschen zu erweitern, und alle sind ein bisschen ansiedscht, und alle sind ein bisschen ansiedscht, und ein paar Spiele sind in diesen Städten, als Team Stability verloren ist. Keon ist einfach zu bleiben, und Keon ist einfach zu bleiben, und wir werden mit Shubi beitragen, hier.
00:43:24 Er hat sich für ein Team aus dem Fähler aus dem Fähler aus dem Sentinels. Er hat sich jetzt auf Team Stability. Hiya! Schuss kommen in. Es ist hier in der Gebäude, aber es ist, oh, no, no, no, no, als sie will be taken down. Team Stability will also fall. Und es scheint, dass alle ein Stück für das Gebäude haben. Es ist Stallions, die aufzügekommen.
00:43:44 So a couple of teams getting a little bit restless and maybe trying to force buildings off of one another because they know the circle is going to now be moving away from them and they're taking a fight when the opportunity is presented to them as round three will close in the next 25.
00:44:12 So, das heißt, wir sehen uns die Arrivals von Dojo zu sehen. Meat Lovers haben eine Position in Klimatizer, die in dieser Geburt sind sehr beeindruckt, von der Skyward-Dive, die sie dort haben. Manchmal Brute Force funktioniert einfach, und es geht darum, dass das Risiko, und warum Valkyrie ist immer sehr wichtig in bestimmten Compositions, um die Möglichkeit zu machen. Ja, ich completely agree. Es ist eine der Legends, wo ich all of a sudden...
00:44:37 Die weniger sie spielt, die mehr wertvolle sie wird. Especially in der Endgame. Weil viele Teams nutzen Evac Towers an Early Rotation, um sich in die Position zu erreichen. Und Sie können nicht auf die Endgame sein, weil Sie nicht eine in die Inventory haben. Aber natürlich, die Valkyrie-Ablehung ist, dass Skyward Dive zurückgeht. Sie kann es multiple times in einem Spiel, um die Needle zu retten, um die Endgame zu retten.
00:45:03 Catching some people off guard at the moment, you see Native have got some neighbours right now. There's going to be Chadmus Prime V2 making the play. Yeah, Chadbot's looking to try and do some damage, because all three of these teams that are in this area have to move. They can't stay here and reside for much longer. In one minute they're going to be forced into a game. Oh my goodness. And you can see Chadmus want to really press this fight, but they keep getting forced back every single time, and now they're losing members. Yeah, it's going to be Lou moving up on them as well.
00:45:32 He's gonna get one knock, but this is the problem, right? You arrive late to a zone that's congested, all of the fire comes out towards you. Every single team is looking to pick up KP on teams rotating in, and it's DNO, certainly a fan favorite in my eyes, Duplex, Cenox, and Lue. Get the clean wipe, and unfortunately for Chatham's Prime V2, which I'm gonna say in full every single time for people at home, and slightly to annoy Dan, it's gonna be the end of the lobby for them.
00:46:00 We're getting back on our screens. DNO, another team we haven't really spoken about much, but definitely a squad who could really do some damage in this lobby as the dojo are starting to get rolling now. They're getting involved in fights. They arrived on this northwest side and they are slowly but surely inching their way in closer to the circle. They're under a little bit of pressure, a little bit of stress, but the shots are being hit as one goes down. Timmy now left in a really sticky looking position.
00:46:26 Not only because of the piercing spikes, but because of the damage that's been done here. Designfall is all up to you. The dojo find this lobby a little bit tougher than it was yesterday as they will fall. 14 squads now remaining as Ryze will be able to get the reset as well. The dojo cannot wax on nor wax off. Instead, they have to go into game number two to try and find some points as most hated is still one player alive and he's still doing a little bit of damage on his own. Secret formula also have gone down. Most hated get eliminated. 12 squads now remain as everyone is being just slowly pushed into one another.
00:46:56 und nicht viel Platz zu spielen.
00:47:10 Aber es ist nicht. Sie sind Eliminatet. Aber die Teams, die hier noch nicht sind sind, FURIA, eine von ihnen, Dan, involviert in dieser Endgame. Me-Love ist Eliminatet in der meantime. FURIA, die in der Zwischenzeit verloren haben, aber die Gold Rez sind gut genug, um sie zu einem 3 und zu einem 3 und zu einem 3. Gold Rez ist massive hier. Und das ist die Gebäude, die sie über die ganze Zeit haben. Sie werden müssen weg von es, als es weiter geht, als es weiter geht, aber sie können einfach aus der Gebäude aus, wenn sie wollen.
00:47:34 Die Trouble ist, wenn du in eine Situation bist, wenn du in eine Situation bist, und du bist von einem solchen Gebäden bist, ist es, dass du dein Moment perfekt hast. Du hast du, warte, warte für die Gunshots, und vielleicht eine Distraction, um das Dark Veil zu machen, weil Zeratricky wird so sein können, als du in die Zone bist. Drop-In Gaming... Ich kann... Ich kann sagen, sie sind in einer der besten Gebäden, sie haben eine Gebäden, aber Grenades kann es sehr schwierig für sie. Stallions, aber, die werden die Far-North-East behalten...
00:48:01 Enough objects to hide behind, enough scenery to play with, they could be in a good chance to win in this game as well.
00:48:06 Und Sie sehen, dass ein Spieler ein guter Position zu spielen ist. Er ist hinter dem großen Pylon, der kommt aus. Sie haben eine sehr gute Kommande, mit jeder zu gehen, von der South zu gehen. Sie sollten nicht nur die Position zu übernehmen, sondern auch ein paar Kp auf den Weg nach dem Endgame. Sie haben eine sehr, sehr, sehr gute Rotation. Die Darkveil werden in den Weg geholfen, und sie werden zu kämpfen hier. Sie müssen durch die Lobby gehen, wenn sie in die Endgame wollen. Ja, sie werden durch die Gauntlet gehen.
00:48:36 If you want to be able to get there, even with an EMP available, just to try and distract some of these teams, is it going to be able to do enough to help them win the engagements? There's the EMP. You've got to send it off of this because the round five closure is happening and it is going to be very quickly on your backside. Let's go. Oh, no connection this time. Hambino taking damage on his way down as well. Going to pop a cell with the gold armor. We'll get him back to an extra 50 HP at least, but he's lost his two teammates.
00:49:04 Aporia ist in der anderen Seite, sie hat den Dämen. Sie haben noch zwei Alive. Akimbo ist unten und sieht aus wie sie müssen sie ihn hinterlassen haben. Aporia ist noch eine unserer Challenge Circuit Team. Sie haben ein paar Veränderungen in den LCQ gemacht, aber es scheint zu haben, dass es so weit ist. Aber vielleicht ist das Ende der Road für sie in diesem Spiel. Ja, es wird. Sie haben 9. Noxious-Finisch in 8. 7 Quads remain, aber es ist FURIA wieder in der Killfeed. FURIA jetzt mit der Peacekeeper.
00:49:29 der Spray ist ziemlich gut, aber da ist ein Nade, das komplett Eliminatete FURIA. Fünf Quads jetzt noch bleiben, aber ein guter Start für FURIA, als KSR findet den Kraber auf den Lowground. Die Frage ist, ob sie auf den Valko? Kann sie auf den Valko? Oder werden sie einfach nur ein wenig Präsenten als möglich, um zu versuchen, nach dem Ende des Spiels zu steigen? Stalin ist noch in der great Position, die du schon erwähnt hast, Dan. Overlooking den Rest des Lobby.
00:49:56 DNO still alive. A real threat to this lobby with such impressive players on this roster. Players who have been at the very top of the Apex Legends scene and would love to return there and be at championships. And they are names who certainly are worthy of doing so as they now get aggressive and Ape Gang gets eliminated. But is there going to be anyone to pick the pieces up? No, DNO survive. And that was a very important push just to try and take a little bit of space here.
00:50:23 I mean, it's fascinating, isn't it, the team, you know, you've got Cenox, Lu and Duplex, all players who have been some of the standouts, but for whatever reason fallen off of, you know, the rosters that they've had put together for various different reasons, but now they all find themselves together trying to pull off something in this last chance qualifier. Speaking of pulling something off, I mean, Trev Stax at the moment, he's, yeah, good idea to turn away from that one because it didn't look too good for him.
00:50:51 Ja, KSR Eliminated, wir wollen das nicht passieren, aber Dienno ist noch hier, als wir in die Top 3 sind. Und jetzt, Stallion hat eine gute Position, aber als sie in dieser Circle gehen, es wirklich aussieht, ob sie auf einen Rock gehen können. Aber ich denke, weil die anderen zwei Teams sind, Stallion still hält die beste Position, weil die anderen zwei Teams werden müssen gegen einen anderen fighten und werden in den Engagement gehalten.
00:51:10 Ja, Stallion ist in der Position zu versuchen, aber die Knochs noch nicht durch. So Stallions haben sich in der besten Position zu gewinnen, aber die Knochs noch nicht durch. So Stallions haben sie in der besten Position zu gewinnen, für sicher. Aber sie müssen nur ein bisschen patience, bevor sie geteilt werden.
00:51:37 DNO are eliminated. Stallions up on high.
00:51:42 Ja, ich denke, dass Stallions, als er in die Position auf der North-East war, war es nur ein Teil von Zeit. Aber sie mussten es spielen in eine Art und Weise, dass niemand...
00:52:08 Ich glaube, es war ein wenig Platz. Es war ein wenig Platz. Es war ein wenig Platz. Es war ein wenig Platz.
00:52:26 Well, Stallions get that winning game number one. And speaking of Stallions. Oh, wow. Time for us to win Reinde back in. I'm so proud of myself. Wow. You know what? Take a break for that one, Mark. You get to rest. I mean, maybe even half the day. I don't know. We'll talk about it with the producer. Great stuff, guys, on the call. Stallions, they take the win in game number one. And I'm going to bring back.
00:52:47 Well, I guess for the first time, our redheaded goddess, as I heard her described on Twitch and Twitter at certain points. Vicky, maybe not self-proclaimed, but people proclaim you that. Welcome to the show for the first time today in the NALCQ portion, and happy to have you.
00:53:06 Thank you so much. I mean, what a way to be introduced by someone who was also introduced as a Stallion, considering the fact that we have very interesting names in this lobby, by the way. The script writes itself. And of course, as Mark and Dan were highlighting them, they are the first winners in this lobby. But can we highlight the fact that Fun went absolutely crazy there in that final game, lighting up the feed all the way through, despite him just not only just shooting everybody, but also with his Arcstar tosses?
00:53:35 As we jump into it with this portion of analysis brought to you by PlayStation Tournaments, I'm excited to look back at that final circle as well. Because, you know, DNO had a decent spot. But in terms of this finish, you're right. It was Stallions who galloped their way into pole position. Vicky, walk us through what happened.
00:53:53 Well, we got to see Stallions hold this position for a very long time. And with this circle pooling out into these shrugs here, I was looking at this from the very beginning. It can be tricky to traverse through this open ground when people have been camping that Climatizer building. But with the circle closing in already at this point, Stallions waited to utilize the exhibit at a great time here. You can see the Arbstars lighting up the feed, Cenox being victim to that. But waiting outside some of these fights while DNO was playing at a disadvantage was the best thing that Stallion could do. They're just going to wait for these teams to just funnel outside of the...
00:54:22 Und das war einfach nur für Stallions. Mit der Barrage kommen in, sie werden nur für den Rest der Team warten, oder die auf der Hand zu kommen.
Analyse der Teams und Strategien im North America Last Chance Qualifier
00:54:32
00:54:32 Und das ist großartig. Ich liebe diese Bewegung hierher. Es ist einfach unfassbar. Wenn du eine Schild-Batterie bist, bist du nicht exposed. Wenn du ein Schild-Batterier bist, bist du ein bisschen late. Und da sie versuchen, vielleicht sagen, die Ring ist unser größer. Nein, es war nicht. Es war Spaß und Stallions und der Rest des Crew. Ich muss sagen, wir haben ein bisschen Fire-N-Ice-Thinge jetzt, Vicky. Ich will sagen, als ich die Ice-Thinge habe, ist es heiß.
00:54:56 It's hot. My AC is broken and it's nearly 100 degrees where we're at. So if you see me, Schvitz, and I'm sorry, I apologize, but I'm trying to get it under control. I will say, though, moving into this kind of look at the LCQ with North America, there's a lot of teams who have opportunities to perform. And you even mentioned some of the history that was here. Sinox, Lou, Dupe, players who have had...
00:55:20 Not, I would say, traditional journeyman kind of processes throughout Apex. They've been on established teams and just found a way together. I'm really excited about them. And looking at this top 10, Vicky, who stands out to you that's kind of piqued your interest right now after watching at least one game?
00:55:38 Well, I have to give credit to DNO. After watching the performance throughout this weekend, listening to the confidence and the confident calls made by Dupe, I feel like this team really has this cohesive strategy.
00:55:51 And I want to see this continue on. Because this is a very mentality based team. Considering how they do at first. Is how they're going to ride that momentum. Furia obviously being on that first page too. Meat Lovers all the way at the bottom. Again it is just the first match. We do have some starting teams with starting points here. But some of those teams are going to be on that second page rain day.
00:56:11 Let's take a look at them, because you're right, we had some big names there. Native Gaming comes to mind, Rise with four points there. Team Stability grabbing a nice three. And the Dojo grabbing three. That was probably the biggest story I had coming into this. And now questions arising after one. Maybe just a bad pull, a bad start. We've seen that happen. After two, though, if it remains the same way, they're going to have to start making some fixes. 130-something points, I believe, in their games yesterday.
00:56:40 Not the way that they probably wanted to start, but hey, they've already got 10 points, so they'll be 13. As we look at our series results after one, as we bring them up on screen when they're ready, I might have called for that just a little bit too early, but I have a feeling that after we look at it, there you go, they'll shake somewhere in the top five, but Stallions, my goodness, Vicky, off to the races for sure. 30 points, one more big game like that, and they could be on match point after two.
00:57:07 Absolutely, that's definitely one way to build up that gap between yourself and the rest of this lobby here. But we have seen these big games happen before, especially with the talent in this lobby alone. Also love how you pinpointed the drop spot of Dojo having to traverse through Thermal Station all the way taking a journey to Climatizer on the opposite side of the map. Same thing though can be said about Stallion that does land in big mod, but it's within that same eastern side here. So this is going to benefit while we go into World's Edge for game number two.
00:57:36 You know, we also saw kind of that conversation happen when it was Cascades going on to Lightning Rod for Go Next. And they ended up kind of traversing that journey, getting to the highest point in Lightning Rod and having the best spot. So it's not impossible. It definitely is just something to consider, especially if you're watching behind at home and wondering why your team isn't performing, Vicky. We try to mention it on broadcast enough, but so much of the early game and where that zone pulls.
00:58:03 is really a big part of the story of these teams. And it could create a very uphill battle for some favorites who, if given plain normal circumstances to perform, would probably be in that final three. So you got to give credit to Dojo for doing the best they can. They get three points. We'll see what happens after two. Going into it, though, Vicky, any final thoughts before we head into that second game about what you're expecting, what you're seeing here with only our first game played in our NALCQ?
00:58:31 We're already seeing teams getting punished for not being able to have access to information to where that next circle is going to be pulling. Maybe trying to predict where the circle is going to be pulling like we saw early on from Native trying to secure that building over to the side of Climatizer for it to pull away and then for them to get apes when there's a crypto in the lobby and they're running Caustic. With this happening though, some of these teams have to make those adjustments in either not putting themselves in a hard gamble position where they really want to bank on that final circle positioning. If they don't have that information or if they do want to play it a lot more passive.
00:59:00 bei The Edge, although we have been seeing a lot more of these Edge teams getting punished. I'm excited to see how this is going to plan out now, especially since Stallions put themselves already in the lead. We'll see. 30 points for Stallions. They are way out in front. Can anyone catch them? We'll find out after the break. Monster Energy, the official energy drink of the Apex Legends Global Series.

Spiel 2: Stallions dominieren, Teams kämpfen mit Rotationen und Zonen
01:00:27
01:00:27 Well we are back then with match number two ladies and gentlemen and we are getting straight into the action of course Stallions took the victory in that matchup now they have 30 points Gaskin here alongside Vicky Kitty for this match number two Vicky you are watching from the wings and we got your fantastic analysis of course from that match number one do you reckon Stallions can go back to back and take us to match point after two games?
01:00:55 Look at where the circle is going to be pulling though. It is going to be just a slight shift over where they had rotated to before.
01:01:03 Seeing the fact that they get stacks in Big Mod, though, you already know that they are going to be kid up. They're also going to have the Survey Beacon figure out once they decide where they want to move, where these teams are, and who has already quickly rotated here. I had to steal you away from Mark real quick, too. You guys were having way too much fun commentating Meat Lovers and Stallions here, so I just have to make my way over to see what the action's all about. Yeah, and that's good. Probably separating us so we can have a chance to breathe.
01:01:29 Not make silly jokes about the team names, because I tell you what, Stallions looked like the real deal with how they were performing. And I like that you did point out it was a difficult rotation for some of our teams that have been succeeding in the winner's bracket. I mean, the dojo had to go a long way, and it's not really going to be much better for them in this game. They're going to have to move up to Survey Camp from Thermal Station. So maybe they'll go for a different approach. They went for a late rotation previously, avoided all of the conflict.
01:01:55 Maybe we'll see them try and go for a little bit more of a boisterous approach and actually bullying their way through some rotations and taking some earlier fights. As for Furia, they had a climatiser zone last time, so they were able to just sit pretty and wait. This time they're going to have to move a little bit further west, but they are moving early again.
01:02:14 It's not too far away. They can hold this high ground here on the north side by the train tracks if they please, as well as getting some extra loot around Survey and then potentially even getting involved in a third party that we can see right over to the side of Furia. But they do have to be careful because with this circle pooling in this direction and Ryze getting ahead of the game, this means that this is going to be welcoming not just the third and fourth parties, but an open circle where you're only really going to have the landmass to cover and get out of the other line of sight from other teams.
01:02:43 Ja, es gibt viele Teams, die versuchen ihren Weg in diese Bereichen. Und ich denke, dass wenn du bei Evac Tower bist, oder sogar bei Skyward Dive, als du in der sky sehen, dass bestimmte Bereichen sind nicht playable sind, musst du über Plan B sein. Was ist ein zweckender Bereich, wo du für jetzt bist du, und dann starten zu pushen, ein bisschen später? Da ist ein bisschen Konflikt passiert jetzt. Monument, als Teams starten zu versuchen, ein paar Positionen zu finden. Likes Obnoxious sind da, und wir sehen Aporia Orsa.
01:03:13 Also, potentially getting some damage being taken. But I think all of these teams should back off enough. Now, maybe we might see an actual engagement. Native are trying to force this one. A few nades going their way. Trying to take this fight inside this building here. Trying to get the full screen too with so many other teams making this rotation in. The exhibit has been called in. Getting in the information that they need. Just based off the footsteps right above them.
01:03:38 Sie haben sich in diesem Kampf zu bewerfen, dass die Gruppen von euch hier sind, besonders Monument. Sie haben einen tollen Angeln, wenn man sich in diesem Kampf auf die Nase befindet. Sie müssen die Spikes wegnehmen. Die Natives-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming-Gaming
01:03:54 You can at least shield up, because you are in a good spot in Monument. You're within the next circle, so you don't have to worry too much about forcing these engagements as Aporia will just slightly retreat away from that one. But also the fact that Noxious got token down means that we are going to see a little bit more room to play with in Monument. But as you can see, they've got the ring console information, so they know they can reside here for quite some time. But if they know their zones, if they know their circles, they probably think this is going to be pulling up towards Survey Camp.
01:04:21 Also, maybe thinking here that they're going on for a late rotate with the composition that they are currently running. They want to be more bunkered down inside of these buildings that we could already expect to have been taken up over in Survey Camp at this time with the first ring already closing. Looking to try to take some of these kills already though. Blinked to be able to find somebody out in the distance. Gets the knock on Sonano here. Now this is the Green Life Rapporia to hold forward. Yeah, they are going to full send as far as they can because they want to keep going north. They want to keep going towards the area of Survey Camp and maybe hope.
01:04:50 they can find a little bit of a home a little bit closer towards the camp rather than being forced into all of the mess that is currently happening at monument they are being pressured from a couple of other squads though who are already on the northern rocks they just need to be a little bit careful a lot of this damage they're taking seems to be a bit unnecessary but they can't really get involved in the fight they want to take as now native were able to get a knock on the other side and aporia suddenly have to retreat because it was flat who got involved and wanted to make sure they could third party
01:05:19 Was the risk worth it? You do have a Loba, you have a support gear that you could get at least the banners if you could manage to find a crafter that hasn't been used by another team or already in use. Flat now getting third partied by the squad that was taking a look at the fight from afar. I believe, yeah, this is going to be here. Gotta love it out here. McLovin now coming in, getting fried. Needs help, Miles.
01:05:46 He's got the nemesis, he's got the gold excited energy mag, but he doesn't have his six covered. Fortunately here, not taking a look at what's happening on the other side, the cat wall is up. This could give him some extra cover to re-stabilize, but out in the middle of the streets of Monument, are you kidding me?
01:06:03 I mean, if they're going to have silly names, I get to call them as silly as I like, right? That's how it works as a commentator. But it looks like maybe they might go down. Maybe Daniel, being me, might call. Maybe Daniel going down as Flat looked to try and get involved and get the final kill. This should be it. And there it is. Yee!
01:06:19 Das ist Danmikloven, das ist immer der Platz zu sein, wenn du willst, die Beef zu finden. Und Chatham ist Prime, wenn ihr Name auf der Bühne geht.
01:06:47 Now getting involved. 18 Squad still left here, and there's three squads alone in this northwestern side of Monument. Not trying to overextend at the same time, and looking at the weapon loadout that they're working with definitely makes sense here. He's got the charge rifle in hand, he's got the car on the other here. Chattabiss Prime looking to try to get aggressive. In comparison to what we also saw in that last game here, here comes the shots from the R301 predicting the trajectory of when they're going to get pulled into the black hole. Love the knock that we get to see now. 18 Squad's trying to maybe...
01:07:15 See if they can already not only prioritize that next circle here as Chatham's Prime are going to be playing more so by the edge. Impressed with how they were navigating that one as Dojo also got aggressive onto E8 and will get the kills and this is an isolated fight so Dojo will be fine. They win this one over towards Harvester. Still a long old journey but I think this is what's important if you are a team who is...
01:07:35 Auf der Outer Zone, wenn du in einer dieser Edge POIs hast, ich denke, dass du deinen Weg durch den Mitteln und andere Rotatoren zu finden, wenn du ein Team bist, ist der Weg zu schnell, aber sicherlich picken Punkte. Und du hast vielleicht eine der Big Point-Games später, wenn die Circle vielleicht ein bisschen mehr kinder zu dir.
01:07:59 Similar playstyle to what we see from Stallions too. Another team that likes to take their time and play by that edge here. Dojo is going to take their time to rotate in. Chalamus Prime still inside Monument, waiting as Native have made their appearance on the other side. They are playing on the edge of the circle, which means in this trajectory, if you could see outside, Dojo will be rotating within this direction. Stallions would be rotating into the northeastern side.
01:08:25 So many of the teams, though, knowing where the circle is going to be pulling towards Survey, have already taken up the buildings, Ryze being one of them here. You can see the shots on the other side of the rock, but I'm mostly thinking about the teams most hated that have been on those rocks from the very beginning. They do get the knock, but nobody's going to try to overextend here. They'd just be griefing their own spot if they do, as meat lovers are holding onto this ground.
01:08:47 If I had a penny for every time I opened the door when I tried to get a res, I would be a very rich man, that's for sure. It always happens to me, and it's good to know it happens to the pros as well, but they are able to get back on their feet, as are meatlovers. They managed to force their way into this building here, but one of the positions I am interested in is where most hated hold. They're on the far northern tip of Survey Camp, and I've seen a lot of teams historically win from said position, where you've got the headglitch to work with, and the train tracks as well, that you push down from. So we'll have to see.
01:09:17 Ich weiß nicht, wo das Zone geht, aber in dem Moment ist es, dass alle, die in den Momenten sind, die in den Momenten sind, die in den Momenten sind, die in den Momenten sind. Ich glaube, das ist ein Teil der Zeit, aber es ist zu sein, dass ich, wenn ich wieder eine Predictable Zone habe, wie das, was in den Momenten war, in Game 1. Und ich glaube, dass alle, die in den Momenten waren, in Game 2 war.
Secret Formula triumphiert in Spiel 2, Strategien und Herausforderungen auf World's Edge
01:09:41
01:09:41 Especially seeing how quickly some of these squads rotated. You also saw them swap over to get the gold helmet, so that way they could get the EMP charge a lot quicker. Even nice to know that there are three Kryptos in the lobby at the moment, but there's only one Watson and one Caustic. Going up to World's Edge here, sometimes you see that Caustic more usually. Now we get to see the Lobo, Rampart, and Valkyrie composition. Valkyrie!
01:10:03 Oh, has kind of shifted away from the meta in general with the introduction of Evac Towers, making things a lot more flexible in terms of the compositions that we've been exposed to. But KSR are playing Bunker down here. We saw them unfortunately in Chamblstown when they couldn't climb over the location that they were in before the ring closed in, so the ring was going to claim their names instead. And they do know that there is a team on the other side here, the Seer that already has information on all the members on KSR.
01:10:30 I loved that, by the way, because Riley was on the Valk, so was able to just jet up into the sky. Of course, Cap had...
01:10:35 Der Loburn war able to use the Bracelet and then we just saw Trev just trying to scale the wall as the Rampart and fall to the Demise. It was really tough to watch and they all went down in the end anyway as now Stallions are making their move to the North East that you were talking about and it's going to be Furia they're going up against here as Furia usually drop at Climatizer so they were able to hold this position early. Dark Veil goes down for protection but Stallions looking to get aggressive and looking to try and add to this. Oh! 50 points total!
01:11:02 Oh, he's already pinging them, letting them know that he's literally won. The only one that's probably alive and fully healed up is right there behind them, but he's got some backup here from Slayer. Gets the last one, and that is Furia eliminated and out of his lobby in 16th. Stallions now looking to restabilize. Yeah, they have to get up quick because DNO are like sharks in the water waiting to try and pounce, and it looks like they have got here quick enough to do the damage. So Stallions are not going to be able to get back up to a full three. Can they escape, though, is the real question. Is DNO looking to try and press up?
01:11:31 But they're also taking damage from another squad. So D&O might have to just let Stallions get away. I'm going to be interested to see whether Lu decides to get aggressive, but they might just be able to claim this loot and say, all right, Stallions, you can go on your way. We don't need to try and finish up the pieces here. Lu, a man with taste, by the way, that weapon loadout. He's got the Nemesis and the Prowler, just like we're seeing right here from Stallions. They are locked in. Welcome to the burst meta. I will introduce you every single time because that...
01:11:58 Is what we have here. The Nevesis is doing so much damage. Now with Fun going down and without them being able to retrieve that banner. Looks like they're cutting their losses with this rotate now. Going around south side of Effie where there are no more teams there. They can approach that black market that we did see earlier from that 12 that was bunkered down.
01:12:15 But they don't have the information on where this circle is going to be pulling, and it will be pulling much more towards the west side, southwest side rather, of where this circle is currently. See so many of these teams now making their appearance as Keon has a high ground advantage over Native right now that are rotating through the low ground. Yeah, the circle is pulling heavily away from Survey Camp. This is going to be bad news for...
01:12:36 The majority of the squads in this game. Everyone was banking on Survey, everyone had those buildings. There are a few squads, though, who kind of had to deal with the surrounding areas, who are on the kind of train tracks and in the train tunnel that are going to benefit from this pull. Another team that's going to benefit from this pull is Dojo. They're arriving late, but they're actually going to get into one of the best positions if they win this fight. And at the moment they're under a little bit of stress, a little bit of damage they've taken, but they have been able to find a place to call home.
01:13:04 Zeinfeld hat alle die Tools zu arbeiten mit hier. Er wird von der Motherlode getötet. Slow, alle gleichzeitig. Creepen Barrages. Er hat Dünn, aber er hat sich umgekehrt. Er hat sich umgekehrt. Er hat sich umgekehrt. Er hat sich umgekehrt. Er hat sich umgekehrt. Er hat sich umgekehrt. So viele Teams haben bereits in diesem Bereich gemacht. Dojo kämpft für ihre Leben. Hier kommt der Blackkoll von Zeinfeld.
01:13:31 Timmy needs some help, he doesn't see anybody in here from the distance. He sees a knock player, takes some of those shots, has to reposition immediately afterwards. It's the reset, but this fight is taking quite some time. And on the outskirts of this fight, Ape Gang has been inside that tunnel this entire time since they saw the circle, pulling to survey in case they can go for 50-50 rotation. Well, this could be the shortest listening we've ever gone into, but let's see what the comms are like with the dojo as they push into this fight. Is it a team across? Is it a team across from the West?
01:14:00 Just play safe here. Play safe here. Play safe here. Play this pocket. Look at them. Look at them. Look at them. Look at them. Just keep them in there. Do not overextend on them. Keep that rock right there so I can watch our back. I have no bats. I have no bats. I have no bats. We're fine. And then we're going to murder them with Horizont later. No nades. No nades. Can I play up here?
01:14:29 Ja, ja, ja, ja.
01:14:44 I mean, we could still bully them. The only team in this tunnel right now. Alright, I'm gonna keep watching her back. I have syringes. I'm gonna guide everyone away. Do you have syringes then? I have one syringe. You should give it to enemies so he can just be full. Nah, I don't want to pop him. It's fine. You can give it to me later.
01:15:08 We should really pressure this team, too. I mean, the only team... We don't want to yet, because this team will wrap us. This Icicle team will wrap us. By the way, where I'm sitting at is barely end. And the team also forward, too. Wait, I'm going to sit here, by the way. I'm not close. I mean, you might get shot from behind. The only shot from you should be here. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, you can come check it out yourself if you want, but I mean, I think it's too late. Evacking from Climber. I'm climbing.
01:15:37 Der wird wahrscheinlich kommen für den Rock, von der Wagen. Das ist weit zu weit. Sie können nicht machen. Sie können nicht machen. Sie können nicht machen. Das Team ist still... Okay, das Team ist Nordwest Rock.
01:15:56 Ja, ja, wir sind da. Wir sind da. 90 ist hier. Ich komme zurück zu dir. Sind wir nicht da? Ich bin, aber ich bin.
01:16:12 Ich bin gut, ich bin gut. Wir haben ein guter Spread hier. Wir brauchen die Stimme, wir brauchen die Stimme hier. Wir brauchen die Stimme, wir brauchen die Stimme. Wir brauchen die Stimme, wir brauchen die Stimme, wir brauchen die Stimme, wir brauchen die Stimme.
01:16:30 Well, that listening presented by WD Black, and I thought it might be a short one. I thought Dojo were going to get involved in the fight, but they patiently wait. They watch everyone move in, and now suddenly we're down to nine squads as that circle has deleted the chances of so many of these teams, Vicky, because they were all forced in away from survey camp.
01:16:47 And they were fighting this while BIL was right next to them the whole time. So holding on to that rock while looking at the fighting happening right over in Survey. They want to get in on the action. Designful already sending out the black hole, tossing out the nades to try to get involved. Oh!
01:17:02 Everybody gets caught in the shish kebab that Designful has created for the team to profit. I like this call, disengaging. They see that the opportunity has now left the table, so now Dojo are just gonna be able to just rotate through the back end again. They already know the area that they just rotated from has been cleared. They hear the fighting on the other side of the train tracks, and this time they can get involved in this fight from a high ground.
01:17:24 Oh mein Gott.
01:17:53 Oh, he said, but he's also just going crazy with the Kraber in the feed, by the way. He hasn't been able to find two BIL without them fighting for his life. Gets taken out, but his teammates are right there to help back him up. The LLstar, the Meatball Slinger here to do all the damage that they need. Gold knocked down, he can't go forward with it. Getting attacked from the other side here. Apegang gets deleted from inside of those train tracks. That's Meatlovers, by the way, on the other side of BIL. Luxford was trying to capitalize as a solo.
01:18:18 Ja, just Luxford doing wonders for Meatlovers in the moment into the top four and trying to make it top three. But I think he realised that maybe those players would have had a chance to reset now. So instead makes his way into zone to try and rat out to top three and get a couple more placement points. Dojo still holding this southern side. Darkveil will now go down just to cut off the vision from BIL who are above them. If Dojo get wind that is just two players, they might try and push up on this, but they need to be worried about Secret Formula who are holding that northeast side.
01:18:47 I'm wondering if that Catwall was just a little too early, perhaps. Yes, they're blocking the Vision off to their left, but you mentioned that Secret Formula is off to their right. So is that Solo from Meatlovers here. Comes to Creeping Barrage as well. All the information that they can work with, too. Four squads left. They lose out on Design, though. He gets isolated out of position. There's a squad that I was worried about that's now going to come right in front of them. That's going to be Secret Formula on the other side of this fight.
01:19:11 Yeah, Secret Formula doing damage designed for going down, but the res could potentially happen. Second guesses himself because the nade, Secret Formula will push up as now Secret Formula holds central zone here and have a fantastic chance with a Kraber in the back pocket. Only one bullet left to maybe try and do some real damage as the grenade is now starting to tick onto the dojo. Oh, they finish up design. Can we get another one for more? Yeah, they know he's a rat. They know it's a rat on the other side here.
01:19:39 Just got to hold on to it. The suspense while they play off the back end. But Secret Formula, they are in the best position right now in this lobby. Natural cover from The Rocks. They have the Black Market behind them in case they want to swap off the Kraber after they use that last bullet. But they are locked in right now with the Catwall. They block out the Vision and they're going to try to fully send it.
01:19:57 Well, can the Dojo do anything as a 2 here? Secret Formula will send it on to the remaining player. And actually, they've taken quite a lot of damage there. Is the Dojo in any position to try and take this fight? Do they know it's a 2 that they're going up against? Still one bullet left with the Kraber, though. Well, they know. They took care of design long ago. Enemy gets taken out here. Yuvin is really low here, too. Oh, he is dancing around this rock with the Kike in hand.
01:20:22 Beryl stuffs in mit dem PK-Shot und lässt Secretformula zu nehmen, um 2-2 auf World's Edge zu nehmen. Oya-Senpai war so großartig in der Feed. Wir sahen die Kraber-Shots, wir sahen die Positionen, und das war der Chaos in Surveycamp. Ja, ich meine, der Winner von Surveycamp war, konnte die Positionen auf dem Nr-E-Side gehen, aber das Shift-A-Way war so schwer für all die Squad-Squads, die zur Survey-Nise-Nise-Nise-Nise-Nise-Nise-Nise-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N-I-N
01:20:51 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, dass sie ein bisschen weiter geht. Es war eine perfekte Möglichkeit für Teams zu erreichen, wie Dojo, die immer noch ein Top 2 zu bekommen. Ich denke, wir sind glücklich, dass sie auf Thermal Station sind. Wir sahen eine Early-ish Exit von Stallions, obwohl sie eine Valiant gegen Furia hatten. Sie waren able zu gewinnen, sie waren nicht able, weil D&O gezwungen sind. Wir werden nicht sehen, dass sie ein Team auf Matchpoint noch nicht sehen, aber die Team starten zu werden.
01:21:14 We can take our time. All Apex, every day, all day is what we're here for. That's what we love. Secret Formula landing in Fragment East 2. Had that nice rotate around right to Survey Camp as quickly as they found out where that circle was going to be pulling. Alright, I'm going to give you a break right now, Dan. You can take a breather after that kicker game. Now we're going to bring in Rain Day to break down the action at the end of that previous game that we had. The final circle as we saw that catwalk going up and Secret Formula taking it up.
01:21:42 Alright, you brought me in, Vicky. I'm going to bring you back in, right? Okay, because I'm the host. I can't allow you to bring me places. I've got to bring you back now. So now the balance of the Force in the universe is set. No, great cast. I mean, it was fun to watch, I think.
01:21:57 Two different styles of play show up. We saw this kind of early skirmish play between DNO and Furia, and we actually had it kind of lean itself towards opening up a lot of opportunities for a team like Dojo, who was much more aggressive in terms of rotating, getting into the right spot up north, and then also deciding that they wanted to be patient with some of their play, too. You notice that moment that kind of caught my eye, which is where they had an opportunity to push. They had that great horizon ultimate.
01:22:26 Das type of maturity, Vicky, is sometimes hard to come by. And you know, they don't end up winning, but they get themselves in that final zone. And the story now shifts to secret formula as we obviously take a look at that final circle. I want you to just give me your thoughts on, you know, what secret formula and dojo kind of stood out to you in terms of this game too for them.
01:22:52 Dojo had a really good game here, but specifically Secret Formula. So much impact from Oi Senpai by himself.
01:22:59 Mit der Fraber in hand, they finish off this solo that we got to see from BIL from the previous fight before. But they also were able to have the advantage already off the rip when they took care of Designful. He was trying to back away, but the reason why he backed away in the first place after sending out that black hole was because there was little to no cover in this open ground. And Secret Formula had all the advantage because they had the natural rock mask favoring them so that way they could get out of the line of sight of these other teams. The barrel stuff on the PK just to finish things off for Secret Formula. And I believe they also finished...
01:23:29 mit, ich glaube, 8 Kp in der Pocket.
01:23:32 Yeah, that's fantastic. I mean, it looks like it was 9 as we take a look at the official stats here. 1500 damage, though, for Oi Senpai. That stands out for me. Seer bringing in the utility, but also Loba bringing in the utility. And Catalyst adding to that with just an eclectic mix of options for them to play Final Circles. They do give up the Valkyrie. They do give up things like the Watson. And they obviously give up Bangalore or Horizon, which have great setup ultimates or delay tactics in these open zones. But they make it work.
01:24:02 So kudos to Secret Formula with that lineup doing work. Bill, the Dojo, even DNO, who we had mentioned, getting caught in between that kind of fight with Furia as well. They find themselves with 10 points on the day as our top 10 start to shape out a little bit more. In the back half though, Vicky, some of these teams, they got unlucky. They got caught. You casted the game. Furia stands out to me. Just got on the wrong end of a three-team fight.
01:24:32 Ja, holding das Haus auf der High Ground, south von der PoE des Klimatizers, vielleicht ein bisschen zu early. Wir sahen, wie viel Action ging in der ersten Zeit, nicht nur in Monument, aber auch in SurveyCamp, wo viele Teams waren, die Bunker in die Gebäude und sehen, wo das Circle war. Das ist deshalb, dass ich die Ape-Squad highlighted, weil Ape-Gang war, die Train Tracks, in case die Circle nicht vollkommen zu Survey kommen, so dass sie eine einfache Rotation konnten. Aber wir sahen, was zu ihnen passiert.
01:25:01 Wenn sie auch in der Linus-Site waren, die wir in der Linus-Site haben, die wir in der Nord-Site haben. Jetzt Droppen Gaming, auch auf der anderen Seite, die Most-Hated haben. Wir sehen uns die Schlussfolgerung von der overallen Gruppe und wo sie sind. Stallion ist noch leidendet mit 35 Punkte. Chatham ist Prime, V2 und Yur. Sie wollen natürlich auf die Ladder, 0 und 2 Punkte, obwohl sie großartig sind. E8, ein Team, mit Zack Mazur, und die Erfahrung, sie haben.
01:25:30 Expecting more. Maybe a slow start on World's Edge. As we shift maps, things may shift up. But Stallions, after their 30-point start, and then, of course, the Dojo with a second place there. DNO with consistency all around. And Secret Formula with a win. Alongside Fury, they are our top five teams who are absolutely performing to kick off this NALCQ.
01:25:52 Now, one big thing to note is that as we go into the action in Apex, there's action happening around the community. And sometimes it's in the lore, sometimes it's in the esport, and sometimes it's in the game. With a brand new collection event coming up, let's take a look at the Neon Network, which showcases some pretty cool stuff from Valkyrie. The truth can only remain hidden for so long.
01:26:23 The question is not, will you find it? Isn't this? It can't be. But will you allow the such to consume you? I swore I'd never waste my life on a vendetta again. This is big Maggie. Very big. What did you uncover? Thief's intuition.
01:26:54 Your data, it's fragmented. This might require fluid work. Let's see what we have over here. These walkways, vehicles. I know that luck. You want revenge.

Stormpoint-Spezialisten und frühe Konflikte: Analyse von Spiel 3
01:27:58
01:27:58 Two games done. It's time for us to get going once again here, Dan. We're game number three just around the corner. It's time for a little bit of a change of scenery. World's Edge always treats us well, we have to say, but now we get to change it over to Stormpoint. I'm sure there's a few teams in this lobby hoping maybe that their luck's going to change a little bit because it's been a bit of a slow start for some of them. Well, I always like to look at our Stormpoint teams, our Stormpoint specialists, right? And you can't really look past the dojo because when we look at what they achieved yesterday...
01:28:26 They were able to get three wins in four matches on Stormpoint. They had a victory plus 16 kills on Stormpoint. They had a victory plus 21 kills on Stormpoint. If we're going to see the Dojo start to get rolling and look anything like they did yesterday, you'd think this is probably going to be the map for it. And they had a pretty good game just then on World's Edge, going all the way down from the southwest side of the map, being able to get top.
01:28:53 Ja, ich denke, das ist eine gute Indikation von wie gefährlich das Dojo kann sein. Das Zone ist so weit weg von wo sie sind.
01:29:14 Close enough for them to certainly get in that in-game. However, look at this early on here. We're gonna see EA having a little bit of a poke and a prod and a little bit of a fight going down. It's Ape Gang who are gonna be contesting them just outside of the wall here. And these eggs and it looks like EA at the moment are very much getting the better of it.
01:29:30 Dojo sind sehr nahe zu dieser als auch, wenn sie in der 3d wollen. Ich denke, dass sie eine Droppe verletzt werden, so es wird nur ein Mitglied sein, der sich auf ihrem eigenen kann, aber die Ape Gang versuchen, zu gehen. Und das könnte eigentlich, dass es sehr schwierig für Dojo ist, wenn sie in der Mix-Sache getrennt werden, denn ich denke, Tails wird direkt nach einer Dojo-Members gehen.
01:29:53 Yeah, pretty split. Like you say, the problem here is that you got no shields. So if you do get spotted, you've only got a G7 Scout and a 30-30. You're going to have to do quite some work. That's going to make it even more difficult. And there he is Designfall, who did split drop, like you were saying, away from the rest of Dojo, who are over at Checkpoint. So he's going to be able to pick up a little KP for them. He's probably going to hope these teammates can get in a position to maybe help him out of this situation. But it looks like EA have backed off now. So the Dojo come out of that with, I would say, the most positive result possible. He's like, guys, I got loot and I got a
01:30:23 Ja, ich habe einen Kiel!
01:30:51 Das wir sehen uns am Anfang der ersten Spiel auf Stormpoint. Und ja, sie haben sicherlich das Recht, ich würde sagen, zu claim das als ihre eigene zu sein. Ja, sie sollten zumindest auf den nächsten Spiel kommen. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass sie wirklich gut sind. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass sie wirklich die Wipe haben. Sie haben eine kleine Suche zu sehen, ob sie können Southpore catchen. Aber Southpore ist ein bisschen schneller. Aber vielleicht ist es nicht so weit, aber wir werden sehen. Aber wir werden sehen, als diese Teams progressieren.
01:31:19 Und ich denke, dass sie sehr glücklich sind, mit dem E8 zu gewinnen. Aber die E8 sind jetzt unter ein bisschen stressig. Die Dojo sind jetzt noch immer wieder aggressiv. Und sie sind noch nicht mehr aggressiv. Ja, er hat sich nicht mit einem Enem mit einem 30-30. Und jetzt die Dojo, sie brauchen eine 2nd Invitation zu pushen. Sie sind so aggressiv. Wenn sie das Damage gemacht haben, ist das Designfall bereits auf der Hunt. Sie sehen, wie aggressiv er will. Er ist nicht mehr über seine Schilder an dieser Stelle. Er ist nur noch ein paar Sekunden. Oder ich würde sagen.
01:31:47 für die Möglichkeit zu bekommen, bevor er zu retreiten. Aber in der Dojo ist der Möglichkeit. Aber es ist nicht gut genug! Er wird getötet, als Naughty. Er wird nicht nur die kill, er wird auch die finish. Er wird auch versuchen, aber es ist ein bisschen ein Mistake, ein bisschen...
01:32:04 Was surprised by that one. Design 4 was of course on his own a little bit earlier. Now Dojo will even things up by at least getting the finish onto Zack Mazur and it makes it a 2v2. It's an isolated fight, no one is nearby so it is a straight 2v2 but oh I like this from Dojo. Maybe they go for a little bit of a push away to get the respawn and utilize this beacon before the other squad can. I like it a lot.
01:32:31 It's pretty smart play from them, you have to say. The question is, are they going to be able to do it? And do they have an LOS that's going to deny the height? Chaotic does have the height, but it doesn't have an angle onto that beacon. So TagMate is probably thinking, hey, why couldn't that be me for EA and the Dojo? Just a little bit quicker thinking maybe in that particular circumstance. Fury, though, they're going to lose one, but it's going to be traded out as KSR. Try and move up a little bit through this tunnel towards where we believe this endgame is going to go. It's going to be around Stormcatcher.
01:33:00 Ja, wir haben über 10 Teams bereits auf Stormcatcher. Es ist nicht viel Platz zu spielen.
01:33:19 Find any sort of spot where you're not going to be drilled from someone else and just try and survive, because Aporia have been able to just find a little bit of a cubbyhole here to work with. It's not the ideal position, but at least it's something they can use for the time being. We'll have to see whether the engagement happens again between Dojo and EA, but looking at my minimap, I think EA have retreated from that one to try and find their own respawn beacon to work with, as Aporia are just going to hold down here for now.
01:33:46 Meat Lovers just leaving Barometer at the moment. And there is a few teams who are actually outside the zone at the moment, just playing Edge. Obviously, it's pretty early in the game, so rotations aren't going to be, I would say, prioritized for a zone like this, especially with other teams having priorities. So different approaches for different teams. As you can see, Meat Lovers on the left-hand side of the screen, just inside of zone. You've got Secret Formula moving to their north as well. Yo! Moving towards Barometer. You've got Bill, or BIL, moving towards Antenna.
01:34:14 How many E's are in their name? Quickfire, tell me. Stop counting. 12. I actually don't know what the answer is. Is it 12?
01:34:34 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 30, 31, 32, 32, 32, 33, 33, 33, 34, 34, 34, 34, 34, 34, 34, 34, 34, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35, 35,
01:34:55 Ja, ein sehr Naughty finish auf der Seite.
01:35:25 Sie haben jetzt die Spieler-Advantage hier.
01:35:42 The work that you've already started here. Dynastid is looking to finish off this kill. Always make it look a little bit more difficult than it needs to be with a player taken to the skies, but finally EA will be eliminated. A very, very rough start for them. A rough start for Zach Mazur, you have to say. Got into the game, got knocked. Sorry, got into the game, was contested. Then the dojo come over, they knock him, he gets rezzed, and then he gets immediately pushed again. So not really been able to play too much Apex Legends so far, just spent more time with the dropship than with his feet on the ground.
01:36:12 Oh, BIL, they've lost one.
01:36:41 Ja, ich denke das...
01:37:07 Es gibt ein paar Teams hier, die vielleicht sollten wir noch ein bisschen mehr reden können. Aber es gibt so eine Wealth-History in dieser Lobby, dass wir nur noch ein paar Teams mentionieren können. Aber wir wissen, was Madness ist capable, und du sprichst über Keyon und seine Geschichte. Du hast Schubi zu dieser Linie, und das ist ein Team, das könnte in den Championships sein, aber sie müssen einfach das Pop-Off-Game sein, um sie in den Konzentrieren zu tun, um sie in den Konzentrieren zu sein, wirklich, um ein LCQ-Winner zu sein.
01:37:36 Ich habe zu be careful, weil Yer sind jetzt noch in den Bereich.
01:38:05 So, DNO, even though they pick up that essentially free donated KP of the solo player trying to escape, they certainly have to be aware of the situation that's in front of them. Yeah, also recognise this isn't a fight they want to take right now. I'm going to rotate back out towards Jurassic. And DNO are going to change directions completely. So they run away from each other almost like two of the same... What's the exact term for this, by the way? You know magnets, Dan?
01:38:31 Das ist ein Konversation, ich dachte nicht, dass wir heute haben. Was ist die technische Terme für die beiden Seiten der Magne? Die gleiche Polarität? Ist das richtig? Ja, ich bin sicher. Wir gehen mit Yes. Ja, es ist ein Scientist in der Chat. Ich weiß, die Produktion hat gesagt. Polarität. Es war zwei Teams mit der gleiche Polarität, die sich um sichern.
01:38:54 As I never ask you about math, you should never ask me about science. This is what we learned. Are you going to say you should never ask me about magnets? Those two. But do you know, as you said, the polarity of the situation, they will now retreat. Will they be the positive or the negative, though, Mark? That's my real question here.
01:39:17 Oh, das war die Punchline. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja, das war. Ja
Taktische Spielzüge und Teamdynamiken im Fokus
01:39:38
01:39:38 The next zone is going to be very, very tough for them to get into. And I tell you what, secret form of that team to watch and player to watch right now is the man on your screen. Oh Senpai hit some really, really big Craver shots in that previous game that we saw on World's Edge. This time can't quite connect. A little bit of a flick of the wrist. Certainly got that one close, but it wasn't enough to hit the body and reduce significant damage.
01:40:00 The outskirts of this circle are starting to look a little bit ugly, because there are a lot of teams who are closing in, but don't have any room to play. You've got Command Center, which is filled by hated and meat lovers. Then you've got the Southwest here with four different teams that are all going to be approaching the zone at the same time. So in a minute and 40, they're all going to have to fight each other or just try and survive by running next to one another and not get shot by the teams that are in Stormcatcher.
01:40:25 Das ist interessant, ich weiß, dass ich über Dojo viel Zeit habe, aber sie sind auf Thunderwatch im Moment. Sie sehen sich auf die Schrein. Sie sind zu versuchen, aus dem Norden zu gehen. Die Meatlovers haben vielleicht ein bisschen geholfen. Sie werden die Krypto-Drone aufbauen und sehen, wo Dojo ist. Aber Dojo ist mehr als froh, zu gehen zu Thunderwatch und jetzt aus dem Norden zu kommen. Das ist nicht der schlimmste Plan in der Welt, ehrlich gesagt, weil es zu kommen ist besser als Up-Hill.
01:40:50 Yeah, I think they're kind of stuck at the moment though, Meat Lovers. You can see at the top of your screen right now on the map overhead, Dojo Thunder Watch, right? Meat Lovers tech sending out the drone on Crypto to see if you can kind of scout the area and make a decision on what they want to do. But if they move back through Command Center, you can also see the most hated are kind of on the bottom side of that. Meat Lovers control the top, so maybe they'll be able to escape that way, but...
01:41:11 Difficult situation for them to try and find their way out of the dojo. Now going to move towards zone. Going to be forced to move towards zone. In 40 seconds that is really going to start tanking away at those white meds. Took a little bit of time there just to craft a few extra medkits on their way down this hill for sure. But now you're starting to see how difficult a move this is going to be. By the way, if Timmy lands this perfectly, that smoke, and denies those lines of sight, it might be one of the best smokes we've ever seen.
01:41:34 Und sie haben die Survey Beacon Information, so sie werden wissen, wo sie zu gehen müssen. Aber wir sehen uns später, als Madness die Aufmerksamkeit an zu Sempires. Die Stabilität sind alles zu tun, um ihren Weg in von dem Südwesten zu machen. Sie haben den Knochen, aber es ist über die Frage, wo du gehst. Und du musst du hier healthy sein. Du musst hier gewinnen, um dieses Engagement zu gewinnen, ohne zu gehen. Und Madness wird Knochen.
01:41:54 Schubi, zu cleanen die damage, und Secret Formula wird geblieben. So Team Stability, die Stabilität zu bleiben bleiben, wird er sein können, und wird Madness zurückgekommen. So, sie sind in der ersten Kampf, aber sie sind in den Zonen, 54 Sekunden, bis sie sich in den Zonen befinden. Sie sind wirklich zu Ende, die gut für sie werden, ist, dass sie nicht in den Zonen gehen können. Die einzige Team, die sie in den Zonen sind, ist in den Zonen, die jetzt in den Zonen werden.
01:42:19 Ja, es wird Yur auf den anderen Seite gehen.
01:42:48 D&O sind in der Nähe zu tun, um etwas zu tun. D&O sind in der Nähe zu tun, um etwas zu tun, gegen die Most Hated zu tun. Chathamus Prime haben eine Solo Rat, das wird bald sein, aber D&O sind in der Nähe zu tun, um die D&O zu tun.
01:43:05 Chatham's Prime are eliminated. Team Stability also eliminated. And now the Nades are starting to cause all sorts of problems. Lu is going to go down the black hole. He's just trapping them. It's suffocating them in this corner. And now the final two, Cenox and Duplex, have to do something special here to keep this game alive for them. The Noggown is going to be there to play around here for Duplex. But can he get that back?
01:43:26 Oh mein Gott!
01:43:55 Ja, Native Gaming and the building they hold I think is certainly the best one. Noxious in that kind of...
01:44:22 Ich würde sagen, eine Sausage-Shape-Bilding, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die.
01:44:46 Ich habe zu check above them though, there is going to be a team directly.
Strategische Positionskämpfe und Team-Eliminierungen
01:45:06
01:45:06 ...on top of this building, but they should be able to just stay alive. But they are going to be vulnerable in the spot they are. It's going to be Furia who are on top of Stormcatcher. But all of these squads are happy on the Stormcatcher building for now. But you can see there in the top left on your screen, that circle is going to the eastern side. Furia know about it though. We'll have to see when they decide to make that move. But for now they can look up to potentially pick up some KP. Eleven squads remain as everyone now forces their way into Stormcatcher.
01:45:31 KSR eliminated in the meantime. You can see Native Mamba. He's going to be going back to the safety of his two teammates as the dojo make their assault on this building. This is the one I was saying is the one that might win the game. Designful is going to have to escape back down to that low ground and manage us to do so. Having to take a few seconds here just to pop that barrier and make sure that they're fully healthy if they do choose to fight. It looks like they're going to expend a few resources here just to make sure they don't get pushed.
01:45:57 It's about surviving in the moment for Dojo and maybe just avoiding some sightlines, seeing if they can stay alive without other squads knowing they're there and then just surprise everyone by joining in the last possible moment. Teams now starting to walk their way into these buildings that are on this eastern side. They might be walking right into the Dojo though as they do have the head glitch to work with as now they try and take some height and they will take the top of this building.
01:46:20 Is it too early? I think they were panicking because they were taking a lot of damage but...
01:46:50 Ich denke, das ist wichtig für sie, um sie zu leben. Wenn ihr das noch 20 Sekunden mit der Darkveil ist, dann werden die Teams vielleicht vielleicht vergessen über dich für eine kurze Zeit und starten zu focussen auf einen anderen. Denn in 7 Sekunden, all die Teams in der Westen müssen. Furia, Flat, Meatlover, Aporia und Drop-In-Gaming haben alle zu versuchen, auf dieser Easternen Seite zu gehen. So sie werden sehr vulnerable und alle focussenz auf einen anderen. Und es könnte einfach nur die Teams, wie der Dojo, um die Feuer zu nehmen.
01:47:17 Ja, Sie sehen, Evac Tower ist auch. Und ich weiß, ob sie versuchen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen, um das zu einfachen. Aber die resten der Lobby ist auf dem Moment. Flatschern wird in der Momentum sein, als wir finden, dass wir uns dann zu neigen Schwads sind. Noxious, das ist die Hotdunk-Builder I was zu tun. Es ist zu sein, in der nächsten Zone, und sie werden zu haben, aber jetzt werden sie geholfen, aber jetzt werden sie geholfen. Gratius kommt in von der Prowler zu stoppen, ein bisschen zu surprise.
01:47:46 Hambino wird auch ein Kimbo in der Feed zu tun. Als all of a sudden die EMP kommt in. Und das kann nur eine Sache sein. Meat levels sind close.
01:47:55 35 seconds to have a little bit of a think and a discussion
01:48:25 Oh, they're making a play on the roof!
01:48:50 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie die meisten Hateden von der Dojo machen können.
01:48:57 Stallions take the height. Stallions on 43. Stallions are 7 points away from match point. A victory here would do it. In fact, I mean top 2 and some kills would probably do it. And they're in a pretty good spot. Slayers though, taking some damage.
01:49:26 He's down low on his own, and now that's so tough for Stallions. If they were all on the roof, they would have had a real chance here, but now they're going to have to work their way as a two. Good news for them is there is another two on the board, though. Furia are two that they're working with at the same time. Furia down on that low ground. You can see that Zeratricki is trying to do what he can to survive. I wonder if Furia have been taken down to just one. That is going to be the case.
01:49:50 Stallion's up on that high ground, so close here to Matchpoint. If they can close this out with a win and some KP alongside it, they've already got three, then maybe this is gonna be our first team hitting Matchpoint in our last chance qualifier. Darkfail ready. Darkfail gonna be raised here. They cut the zone, but they're gonna be cut themselves. All of a sudden, what looked like a really good play looks a little bit more sketchy for them, but now they make the call to drop. Stallion's is gonna drop down here.
01:50:28 So close for Stallions to get onto Match Point. They are two away.
01:50:51 Aber NativeGaming starte zu kommen, aber wir haben noch keine Teams auf Matchpoint. Und ich sage das, wie wir eine Team auf Matchpoint haben, wir natürlich nicht. Wir haben nur drei Maps gemacht, aber wie wir sehen, wie wir es in den Playoffs gesehen haben, und wie wir in den anderen Regionen sehen haben, drei Maps manchmal ist genug, um ein paar Teams, wenn nicht ein Team auf Matchpoint. Aber Stallings kann nicht ganz gut werden.
01:51:11 Frustrating for them that they weren't able to have a full three going into that final circle. Still a valiant effort, but a very difficult circle to navigate for a lot of those teams who were on Stormcatcher, because as soon as it moved away onto the eastern side, there was no chance, really, for them to get across. Yeah, very, very tough zone to navigate, like you say, from Stormcatcher. But it is going to be a... I thought for a second that we were going to have the Matchpoint team, the first one of the day, Dan, but...
01:51:35 Not quite yet. We've got some more Apex to play before we decide who those teams are going to be. But as far as the leaderboards are concerned, I think that one's certainly going to shake it up with a couple of teams within striking distance for sure. Now, another good game for Furia as well. Zeratricky did a great job in that endgame to just stay alive for a few more seconds, but a few more placement points, which can be oh so valuable when it comes down to those final standings. And at the end of it, we'll bring Rain and Vicky back in because it's going to be another interesting game of Apex. Stormpoint never disappoints.
01:52:04 I'm disappointed in you, Mark. You know my rule with Vicky of not bringing me in, and I can't bring anybody in now to balance out the force here. Okay, listen, I'm going to leave it at that one, but seriously, let me drive this bad boy. You guys just cast a great game.
01:52:20 Let me have a chance. Let me have a moment. Listen, guys, fantastic opportunities, I think, to look at these teams that have been performing. I want to go around the horn for this halftime recap. We don't have a guest. We have all four of us. We can kind of talk shop about what's actually occurred over three. And I think let's start just with the most immediate action, that final circle, guys. And I think I will go back to you, Mark, and then...
Analyse der Spielverläufe und Teamleistungen
01:52:43
01:52:43 zu Vicky und dann zu Dan, in das order. Was du hier sehen? Weil Native Gaming, sicher, sie gewonnen die Spiel, und wir sehen es von der Perspektive, aber es war die Geschichte, viele verschiedene Teams haben eine Chance. Ja, es war. Ich glaube, Native Gaming, das ist, als wir das Zone gesehen haben, und wir sahen es über den Easternen Seite des Stormcatcher, das ist der Bildung, das ist Playable für die Longest. Und Native Gaming mit Catalyst, ihr könnt einfach nur die Doors control, das ist so, so wichtig, dass es Reinforced ist. Ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt.
01:53:12 Ich weiß nicht, dass die Fights in der Endgame sind. Aber das ist der erste Mal, dass sie es fully gesehen haben. Und ich denke, sie haben eine Entscheidung zu gewinnen, ich denke, sehr lange, nach all den Dark Veils zu haben. Sie versuchen, die Cover für das ganze Leben zu können, und die Rest der Lobby zu tun. Und dann einfach in die Zone zu gehen. Die Zone ist einfach für sie, mit der Dark Veil. Und, look at das! Sie haben eine ganze Zone für sich selbst.
01:53:38 Ich denke, Vicky, auch. Das wirklich funktioniert gut für Native Gaming, um nicht zu haben.
01:53:47 Yeah, the fact that everybody else left in this final circle was just a duo was just early Christmas coming in the hands of Native Gaming. They were able to just clean up everybody else that was left in that lobby. And also noting that the squad that was above them lost out on one of their teammates. Hate to expose them, but with Slayers randomly dropping down, even though his team had the roof, did cost Stallions in that moment. So Native knew that they were a duo on top of them too. Not a big win either, Dan, but three teams getting a lot of points after game three.
01:54:16 And most importantly, for the rest of the lobby, no one getting onto Match Point. So going into Match 4, you can just calmly go about your business and try and get your points totals up towards MP, knowing that no one else is going to have the opportunity to win the game. But we should have a team on Match Point after Match 4, with Stallions now only being two points away. What does impress me, or I guess can confuse me at times, is how many points are being picked up by the entirety of this lobby. Three, four, one, six, everyone getting points in the lower side.
01:54:45 So close to it. And actually, looking back at that, if anyone has a response to this, feel free. I think Stallions might have made a mistake with that wall and then how they played it. Because they put the wall up, but then they dropped down to the low ground. And you saw how Native approached Lash, sure, but they stayed high ground. I mean, does anyone think that maybe there was a potential...
01:55:12 Better rotation from Stallions, or maybe just more patience, or is that just me?
01:55:17 I think that I maybe would have held the position after they got that wall and they saw that the zone was pulling slightly towards their Dark Veil. But I think the reason why they tried to engage is they felt the team below them was weak enough that maybe they could have got the kills to get them on to match point. So perhaps that was why they made that call. A little bit worried about the team that was going to be pushing from their northern side. And it was native. They did arrive. And I just think it was one of those in the moment decisions of, well, how do we get the points? What's the most efficient way? Do we wait and hope that we don't get pushed?
01:55:47 Let's look at this roster and highlight them even more, Mark, because the only thing it brings up to me is you got to take a chance. It maybe makes that moment with Slab and Amiya even more special because sometimes you don't know what's facing you outside, so you got to hope.
01:56:09 Und wenn man es perfekt ist, dann ist es das Special Moment. Sie haben es nicht gemacht, aber es gibt natürlich keine Kritik zu unserer 1st-Place Team so far. Nur zwei Punkte entfernt von Matchpoint. Ich meine, wenn man diese Röster hat, diese Leute haben sich schon mal gemacht. Diese Leute wissen, wie sie es gemacht haben. Ich meine, Retsy hat sich schon seit Day 1 gesehen. Ich sehe Retsy, ich sehe ein Wraithen rundherum, um Probleme zu machen. Es ist permanent in meinem Erinnerung. Du hast Funk und du hast Krust. Ich meine, da ist viel Talent auf diesem Team. Wir alle wissen das. Und Retsy wird eine gute Calle in der Endgame gemacht.
01:56:38 Ja, hold off on that, they're gonna be pretty upset.
01:57:07 They don't make it. But it is nice to see Retzi and Lou and Sinox all competing. That Sentinels roster who hasn't really found the mesh with another roster since that moment, now may be having a chance to see Retzi find that glue and then have some consistency with the team over the course of a big tournament. Vicky, I want to end with you before we go to break. Who do you have your eyes on heading into the final, not final three, but the final of our guaranteed three heroes? We must play six today at the very least. Who stands out? Who do you think is taking it?
01:57:36 you know, as it stands r
01:57:38 I like to look at consistency, and I know it's probably going to be obvious here, but with Stallions being the only consistent team that we have seen thus far, I really liked Dan's observation there, calling out that Stallions had recognized where they stand in terms of points, how they needed to get that KP. They're just two points away from sitting at match points, and they're one of the only teams so far in these few games that we've had that have remained consistent. That was just the first game on Storm Point, though, so we could see other teams really coming to live where they feel more comfortable.
01:58:06 Dan, quickly to you, and then Mark, quick prediction. Who do you have taken after you've seen three games? I'm still going to go with Dojo. I think they've still got something up their sleeve, a big game awaiting us, and it's just bound to happen with how they've been performing so far this weekend. Mark?
01:58:20 Dojo. Dojo. I believe. You know what? There's a lot of Dojo Stallions. I'm going to go with Dojo as well, just because I'm really impressed with how I've seen them navigate the situations. But it's anybody's game still. No one is on Match Point. We've got teams earning points, whether in the bottom half or the top half. So it's just getting more intense. And we've got at least three more games to play. Stay tuned. Don't go anywhere. Game 4 is coming up in your NALCQ right after this.
02:00:19 W.D. Black, der Original Storage Partner der Apex Legends Global Series.
02:00:49 Because it wasn't just one team that was close to them. You also had the Dojo having a little bit of a peek in a prod as well. So I wonder how they're going to try and approach this next game. Are they going to expect the contest? Are they going to try and play somewhere else? What are your thoughts on this? How do you think it's going to go?
Strategie und Taktik in entscheidenden Spielmomenten
02:01:01
02:01:01 With only one team really being as close as they are to Matchpoint, I say take the fight right here. You want to get as many KP as you want. Or if you're not very confident, then you're going to have to start counting your blessings and decide whether you want to figure out more Skarslu elsewhere here. Because I think this is the only contention that we have only on Stormpoint. Because everyone was playing pretty nice on World's Edge from what we had seen already from the action in our first two games.
02:01:24 Yeah, one thing that kind of jumped out to me in that last game as well is we did have that contest with EA. We also saw a little bit of a contest going down at Cenote, but it was the pace of the game once people realized that they weren't going to be able to get Pro to Zone, right? We saw a lot of teams looking for fights, hunting for fights on the edge of Zone, and we got to...
02:01:41 So I would say Zone 4, Zone 5. And we had about 12, 13 squads alive, I think it was. So the pace certainly starting to pick up. And I wonder if that's because the teams who are falling behind have realized that a couple of teams are getting very, very close to match point. We'll see if that pace does continue. Maybe it was Zone that dictated the pace of that game. Maybe it was players deciding they want to try and kill each other. We'll have to find out how that's going to progress now as we head into match number four.
02:02:05 Was funny to see how that EA and Ape Gang fight went down, considering the fact that EA has all of Wall, and Ape usually lands over by the other side of Wall, so that way they can get that Trident and then immediately rotate to finish looting their POI, depending on where that circle is going to be pulling. Maybe a little bit of griefing that we can take a look into the future here for our squads, as again, we're going to tune into EA and see how the action plays out off the rip.
02:02:28 Ja, so looks like they're going to go straight to Wall here, and they're having a little look around, see if anyone is going to be contesting them, and yes, they are, so EA are going to have another fight on their hands here. This time, also on the more traditional side of the POI, Chaos are going to be able to pick up a Prowler and a Mozam, not too bad a loadout to get for a contest, the question is, is he going to feel confident enough to push off the back of this? Noxus usually lands over at a high point here, so landing on the outskirts of Wall,
02:02:56 Could just mean that they got whiff of the fight earlier on and maybe wanting to play more passive aggressive to see if they could get a little toxic here and involve themselves in a third party. Maybe farm those evil shields if they can if that fight does go on. Having that survey beacon also right next to them and the ring console on top of that means that Noxious is going to be able to have a lot of information before they decide where they want to rotate seeing that they are in the circle.
02:03:20 Yeah, a little bit of a change in pace there. You saw Noxious, like you say, they went towards High Point, kind of left the fight alone, I would say. Yeah, you're going to have the wall to themselves now. Ape Gang going to take control of the Armoury and the rest of North Pad. The Dojo playing a little bit closer to each other this time around over at Checkpoint. Maybe everyone was a little bit surprised with how busy things were, but two teams who are still contesting here at Cenote is going to be on your screens right now. One of them, Chathamus Prime.
02:03:47 And I'm pretty sure last time it didn't go too well for them.
02:03:52 You see Yur on the other side, just seeing. They can take different angles here for this fight. The reason why we sometimes see this contest here in Cenote Cave is because there is a ring console, and the information for these types of compositions is absolutely key. With the Catalyst wanting to bunker down, reinforce the walls, and even on top of that, you've got the Replicator right there. I know the three-time scope is in there, so they can work with that, as well as getting any extra bats if they want to. I know the Purple Standard Sock is also in there, too.
02:04:20 Working with what they got here as Yur is going to take advantage of that. Where the zone is going is always the point of interest. And speaking of points, it's going to high point. So right at the northern tip of the map. Very difficult to work your way in here. And Noxious have taken down a great spot early on. They have the team who had the most priority to it. And EA at the moment who are trying to rotate up that hill after hitting the ring console. Well, now they're trying to survive. Zach Maze has taken down to no shields. You can see they're trying to make a quick rotate out from wall, but...
02:04:49 Two whites and a purple isn't really what you want if you're getting held out and trying to make a quick rotate. Now you're kind of stuck in that no man's land of like, where do we try and play now? What is plan B? Because taking a fight with these armors is not what you really want to be doing.
02:05:02 Das ist so, ich bin froh, dass sie hier nicht nur kraften, weil wir sehen, dass die Fight jetzt tatsächlich funktioniert und Chatham ist in Primes'Favor. Yur gets taken out und ist jetzt einfach, um die Care Package, weil sie werden können, um die Loot, die sie einfach nur kraftieren, einfach aus der Death Boxen zu machen. KSR wird auf die Hillen, wir haben E8 gesehen, ein paar Sekunden zu sehen. E8 hat es geschafft und hat es geschafft, so sie sind zurück zu den Wallen jetzt.
02:05:29 Und es wird sich interessiert, ob KSR wird der Weg in den Highpointen, wo das Zone ist. E8 ist jetzt auf der Seite, auf der Seite zu gehen. E8 ist jetzt auf der Seite, auf der Seite. FURIO ist noch auf der Seite, auch auf der Seite. FURIO ist noch über Lightning Rod, was sie tun, was sie tun. Sie haben nicht mehr accesses zu einem Ring-Con, so vielleicht sind sie hier ein bisschen länger als sie dachten. Wenn sie das Info haben, dann müssen sie das Info gehen. Und dann müssen sie das Info gehen. Und dann müssen sie das Info gehen. Und dann müssen sie das Info gehen. Und dann müssen sie das Info gehen. Und dann müssen sie das Info gehen. Aber dann müssen sie nicht wissen. Aber dann müssen sie nicht wissen.
02:05:57 Es kann also zeigen, wo die Circle ist, ohne sie zu bewegen, ohne sie zu haben, zu den Reinkonsolten zu haben. So viele Teams bereits klustert auf der Nordseite. Das könnte die Indikator, dass sie das nächste Schritt machen müssen. E-Ape hier ist, dass sie ihre Zeit über die Wallen genommen haben. Es ist ein bisschen zufrieden, dass sie keine Blue Evos haben, hier sind sie, was sie zu arbeiten. Aber vielleicht ist es noch nicht, dass sie sie versuchen, diese Kampf gegen Ape Gang, wenn sie ihre Zeit in Rotation haben. K.S.R. zu der Sky mit Skyward Dive.
02:06:27 Valkyrie ults. Not seen as often anymore, but at this point in time, it's a great time to use it. Not too late in the game, but early enough for you guys to take control over the rooftops, so it's nice to see. They also have the Rampart, so this works into the team composition and their strengths, as they're going to be able to bunker down and take advantage of the black market later. 48 points here for Stallions. Two more is all they need, and there's a team who's peeking and prodding, looking through the windows at them as well. Monk is more than ready for that.
02:06:55 He's going to send in the black hole to just slow them down, retreat to his team a little bit more. But 2kp is all you're thinking here if you're Stallions. If you get the chance to third party something, just go for it. Just absolutely throw yourself at it and get those two points secured. And then head towards that next game on match point.
02:07:14 Nice shots coming in with this. I was going to say nice. They are more than nice. They are quite something pretty, I would go as far to say. Skullpiercer is certainly going to help as well if you can crack one of those skulls on your way through. But for now, Stallions may be thinking this is our fight to take.
02:07:31 You see the pings behind them, though. It looks like they are aware that there could be another team within the area. Depending on how a squad that's trying to rotate away from them is going to play off that slight high ground that overlooks some of the action below them, like Thunder Watch and Lightning Rods. I do believe it's going to be flat on the other side by Command Center. Meat Lovers now trying to skirt away. First going to have to restabilize here as they did get pressured out originally off the high ground of Wall.
02:07:57 Meat Lovers are over here. It's Dojo on the other side that are actually trying to not only mark them down from the back, but also in front of them is still E8 and Most Hated who have made the rotation through the wall. Yeah, E8 in a really, really interesting position right now. They kind of got stuck on their first rotate, didn't really know whether to go forward or back, and now they've found themselves sandwiched between a number of teams with that zone, of course, going to be closing in behind them as well. Meat Lovers do manage to...
02:08:23 ...ein der Weg durch und, um die Pathways zu verabschieden, wie die Menschen, die sie sind, an diesem Trident zu verabschieden. Die 19-Squads sind noch in diesem Spiel. Die einzige Team, die nicht in die Zone sind, ist Chathamus Prime, der in Cenote ist, in den Cenote. Was?
02:08:46 Actually, okay. Well, I guess you have to take your time when you find yourself in their terms of intense beginning fight, but they got to start moving soon here. Next Circle already closed in. They did have the information off the ring console, too. Maybe that's why they wanted to take their time, just so that way they could hop on a Trident after scanning the ring twice and now finally making their way over. Meanwhile, everybody else taking a look at what we have. E8 still a little bit lost north of where Most Hated is.
02:09:12 Dojo as well still on the high ground over the wall. They're inside that next circle, but they definitely know where they may have to rotate. Wondering if we could see, maybe rotate through command center, if they still want to take the aggression uphill, playing off the low ground and take the risk and going through the side.
02:09:28 Ich glaube, E8 müssen diese Seite auszonen. Das ist der einzige Weg, dass sie eine Chance haben, in diesem Spiel werden. Die Team ist jetzt in und vor allem, ist es zu sein. E8-Gang ist auf der Height, wo die Zip-Line sind. Das ist auf der Seite von Chaotik. Wir sehen uns jetzt. Das ist ein bisschen trepidation. Da sind die Schuss kommen in. E8-Gang kann es nicht in den Moment sein, denn sie wissen, dass die 3D-Party ist in der Nähe, aber...
02:09:55 Mit 1.45 Uhr, decisions müssen hier werden, und sie haben nicht die besten rotationen Tools zu tun.
02:10:00 Also looks like they did end up crafting up those blue Evos. That's something that we were trying to see if they were going to try to prioritize at the very beginning, but they did want to go for the quick rotate, but we saw what ended up happening there, which is why they are right back at wall at their POI. They don't have information on where that next circle is going to be pulling and essentially looking at the attachments, living up the sticks. They really only had the crafter to rely on. So living up the land here as meat lovers on the other side. Rock and fold purple.
02:10:28 Das ist die Position von Stallings, die wir heute gesehen haben.
02:10:43 Looking elsewhere on the map, you can see Senox, Duplex & Co inside of the Egg building. Stallion still two points away, still just two points away, but it's crazy how when you're so close, Vicky, it's almost like two points away, it feels like 20 points away in the previous game, just knowing you have to just find a couple of KP to get yourself on to match point and complete stage one of going towards the ALGS Championships.
02:11:10 In the moment, they can't find anyone. You can see why they're playing this outside of Command Center for so long. They're trying to just see if they can get free shots, catch free KP on anyone who's going to be walking below them. There are a couple of teams who are going to have to walk their way in. One of them being Meat Lovers. They're going to be there as well.
02:11:27 Und still in the other side of Command Center is going to be flat. So they do have an opportunity for KP, but it's about choosing the right fight. It's about making sure that when you do see an opportunity to fight, that it's the right one with the easiest KP available. Because if they misstep here on 48 points and have to watch the rest of the lobby, that's going to hurt so much.
02:11:44 Also, while holding high ground, too, they can expect teams rotating from the north side of Wall, and while they hold this position, the teams will inevitably come in their direction if these teams want to prioritize the high ground position. So, patient play will pay off eventually here for Stallions, especially looking at the fact that they got the hemlock in their hands, the weapon loadout with the vault here, ready for that close quarter fight, just in case the team behind them, like Dojo, ends up going for that low ground rotation right below them.
02:12:12 One thing that maybe starts to worry Stallions here, and the longer this goes on, and the longer that they don't have engagements to take, is three blue armors that this, when you get to round three, with people crafting on their way in, taking fights, zone teams doing damage from the inside out, is that taking a 3v3, you expect to be maybe going up against a couple of purples. I know that, excuse me, Retsy's kind of, you know, 72 damage off of leveling up that Evo shield, but you've still got to hit that shot.
02:12:40 Ich habe die Frage, wo Slayer und Funk sind zu sein, wie sie ihre Purples sind. Ich habe sie schon gesehen für sie. Das ist ein Test der Patience für sie. Ich weiß nicht, warum sie hier aufstehen? Sie sind in eine gute Position.
02:12:58 And while holding this back end too, they're already expecting teams to rotate out of Command Center into this high ground. So not only are they denying the rotation from the south side, from the teams like Flat, Chatham is Prime who've taken their time to rotate in that could rotate from that south side through Command Center. But they're also going to be able to deny any open sight lines that teams like Furia, Meat Lovers over at Thunderwatch could be rotating from the north side. They're holding two different angles. That is going to work into the bigger plan here. They won't even be able to overextend, let's say.
02:13:27 they even get a knock down below because holding that high ground is more important at this time where they can just allow these kills to come to them and this rain down extra pressure once these squads funnel out into their line of sight from down below you can always feel like the tension in the lobby right now for a lot of teams right you can see that nobody wants to give up a position everyone's waiting for that zone to kind of do the work for them to force the teams into the positions they already have the team at the moment who's uh
02:13:54 Krafting that you can see at the top of your screen, that's going to be Chathamus Prime V2, full name every single time. They're being held out here by Secret Formula and Flat are coming around the corner. This is the team Flat who are kind of poking and prodding at Stallions. They've gone all the way down from Command Center now and are trying to wrap through the southern side of the zone. Servo Beacon's going to be pretty good, but see what the problem is. They get the knock. They get the knock and they gave that position away and now they're going to hit the cannon and this is the definition of a Hail Mary.
02:14:23 Und sie haben sich auch auf den 3er-Parten geflogen. Das wird Flatt aus der Kommand-Center geflogen. Sie waren nicht erwähnt es an dieser Zeit. Rotatieren von der SOUTH-SIDE. Sie sind in der Seer-Tack geflogen. Es ist einfach nur ein Temporary, bevor es jetzt auf die Zeit geflogen. Meanwhile, der Creepin' Barrage hat jetzt eine Appearance gemacht. Flatt wird sich umdrehen, um es zu versuchen, nicht zu fühlen. Aber Saucer findet sich immer wieder auf den Hive-Ground. Hier ist es noch ein Knochen, wenn es ein Knochen auf der anderen Seite geflogen ist.
02:14:52 Just don't know where they're getting shot from right now. The 30-30 was enough. We did see one team go down in the meantime. I'm pretty sure that was Aporia who did go down. As now we're going to see the wrap try to be continued.
02:15:04 Schauts kommen in von Secret Formula hier. Bill Eliminated, als auch. Finally, die Zone macht viel Arbeit für diese Teams, wie wir bereits erwähnt haben. Forcing them in. Forcing the fight, so Black Hole ist gut. Die Schauts sind sogar gut. Kann er mit der 30-30 für die Finish? Das ist die Frage. Die Knotdown, ein Nüsimus, aber Flatt wird Eliminated und Secret Formula wird diese Position behauptet.
02:15:24 You was insane. The immediate retaliation after Secret Formula were flanked from behind after the third party came in. Meanwhile, Chathamist Prime says, that's none of our business. We are going to prioritize our rotate. They get the res. They try to get the reset here. Southpaw could pop off this medkit. They know that there's a squad right behind them and a team right above. Taking the gravity lift now could put them at risk, though, in the line of sight of not just this team that's been hanging out here, but as well as Stallions. That's Meat Lovers on the top. Should be at a reset hit.
02:15:54 Meatlovers will know that all of a sudden the position they've been holding down is under siege. There's another team walking up on them as well. That secret formula. Meatlovers have got to make a decision here. Do we try and take this fight? Do we try and force these two teams into each other and try and third party? EA have worked their way into zone here. This has been a really, really good job.
02:16:14 Oh my goodness! Oh ho ho, they got him!
02:16:27 He hit him with the anti-oop, flew up in the air, and they got taken down. And with the ring closing in behind them, this is the time where you don't want to take the extra pressure. Ring closing in, they're going to be able to get the res. The arc starts slightly brushing through the side. Not going to feel that pressure here. The Thermite also missing its mark. Meanwhile, Funk is getting funky with it here. He's going to be able to find two picks already up in the feed. Meatlovers have moved back into center zone, by the way. It's been a really, really good pull from them.
02:16:54 High point teams are going to have to move towards their south a little bit more. You can see the zone on your screen in the top left. 1 minute 20 until the zone is going to really start to take effect on these teams. And E8 who have been under pressure so far. Two games, eight points. Not good enough if you want to go to the ALGS Championships from them.
02:17:12 But one good game here, and all of a sudden your fortunes can change. And one thing we know about EA, Vicky, is momentum is huge for them. If they get on a roll, they can be difficult to stop. I mean, the fact that they were able to find their way in this position in the first place when they were pressured out and hanging out at their POI for, what, the first circle and a half while the second circle was still setting in. Now finding themselves up here, great position, but they see the circle is...
02:17:36 Pulling away from them. Making moves with the team right below them. Most hated still fighting for their lives and so is Dojo Designful. Getting picked off first. Once again. Kewa coming in and so is the Black Hole. Now enemies in a lot of trouble. Can they get the banner here? Yes they do. Timmy dancing around here with the passive. Seeing if maybe they can get the shields up. Yes they do. Kepraket right in front of them as a grenade gets tossed in the direction. They are literally sandwiched here in a worse position. Playing off the edge of the circle.
02:18:05 Und jetzt wird es ein Sandwich sein, als Meatlovers try and push-up auf die Position. E8 hat sich in der Meantime zu eliminiert. Ein weiteres Slow-Slow-Game für sie. Aber all I can see in den Killfeed momentan ist 30-30 Repeaters. Picking up Kill, after Kill, after Kill. Es sind die Teams, die jetzt sind die Probleme, aber Meatlovers lose einen. Designfault.
02:18:27 He's not going to be able to be brought back into this game right now, either here for the Dojo. So a 2v2 potential between Meat Lovers and the Dojo. Fury are now starting to move up a little bit. They've worked their way in towards Zone as well. They're holding down the south-eastern side of this. Well, south-western, excuse me, side of this. Stallions and Secret Formers still fighting on the southern side of Zone, just behind the Dojo, who are going to be more than aware that this might be KP for them to pick up. As a duo here, nonetheless, too. And that's with Timmy finally finding luck on the other side. Tossing out.
02:18:56 Those nades dancing around, the Creeping Barrage. Has a Thermite ready. Waiting patiently, this is gonna be crazy here. Secret Formula are also playing this out as a duo. Meatlovers get eliminated in the feed. Takes this fight over to the other side. That is DNO, who are now getting involved here. Dojo wants to capitalize off of all the KP that they can work with. Sitting in second place with 40 points. Make it 41. Finalizing that last KP.
02:19:19 Well, forget about his, Johnny, because it's Timmy. That's what we should be saying right now. Every single time that someone tries to poke and prod, Timmy is holding strong for the dojo. It's 1 minute and 10 seconds until the zone starts to close. Timmy's going to pick up a little bit extra loot here, which is going to be needed. You can see he's pretty low on ammo as they head towards this zone, but the dojo have pretty much cleared out that south side now. Secret Formula have one player alive, but Furia are on the hunt. They are trying to think about swinging onto them right now, but Timmy at the moment is a one-man army.
02:19:49 And they're so low off of the initial fight that they just had after taking out Stallions from the lobby, playing on the edge of the rock. Look at Timmy, he's looking to hunt. Timmy is him, he's got the ultimate accelerant, so that way he can get that creeping garage. Once the circle starts closing in, perhaps, no, he sees the poke approach.
02:20:09 He is him. Can he be him-y though? Creeping Barrage now getting sent out. See if they got the opportunity, but the enemy from behind gets caught by Yubin. Yubin is the solo player alive. Manages to take him down, and now the dojo...
02:20:37 The keys have been handed over to Timmy. Had to use that ultimate as well just to try and buy a little bit of time. Respawn coming in here. Albrele will have a part in this endgame. And there's a couple of death boxes in and around the vicinity of Furia. Question is, is he going to be able to pick something up? Because that zone is closing right behind them. Timmy somehow has managed to kind of...
02:20:58 Nox ist weg, Native ist weg, Raid ist weg, Schallabus Prime, Drop-In Gaming all go, und die Dojo sind in den Top 5.
02:21:08 Everyone dropping like flies. Inferior on the rotate after getting the French Rats. They're still able to access the box at their feet. Catwalk coming in. And Timmy is running for his life. Looked like they wanted to use a black hole, but holding on to it. Panders with a good decision making here. Looking at the other teams also rotating. That's going to be KSR off to their left with the Rampart and the Amp Walls coming in too. I don't know how Timmy is still alive, but he is surviving as a solo. He takes the zipline up north. And now Yubin and him are going to...
02:21:38 He's still alive here as we have three squads remaining. Furia, Team Stability, and it's Himi if he can pull this one off.
Timmy's Unconventional Play and Furia's Victory
02:21:54
02:22:02 He is him! And the fact that he juked them thinking, I'm not going to go on the gravity lift here, I'm just going to be able to take some extra cover, restabilize, but with the smoke, it's a little bit of an indicator. Zera knows, sends out the spikes in his direction. Timmy's going to take a shot at him. Take him to the sky zone is an indicator that Fury knows exactly where they are, or rather where he is, but they can't drop down here unless they want to try to use the gravity lift again and risk for a third party coming in from Team Stability on the other side.
02:22:28 Timmy can kind of find an alt Excel here. He can call some pink. There's no way he gets him in, by the way. There's no way they call this in, right? It's going to be a little bit of extra cover, surely. You would imagine. If Timmy sticks... It would be the most Timmy thing in the world, by the way, if he goes to stick this reds and pulls it off. I'm just saying. Alright, it's the bait. The circle's closing in. He's got to play for his life at this point. Evac Tower coming in. Magnus getting the knock on top lately.
02:22:56 Is this things falling from the sky out here to trying to greet them block out their vision with the smoke needs They know he's right there. They can't give their focus and attention to a rat though when they have another squad right in front of them He's actually gonna do it. Are you kidding me?
02:23:14 Das ist der beste Timmy-Thing possible, als jetzt FURIA-FORCED-EINFORCED-EINFORCED-EINFORCED-EINFORCED-EINFORCED
02:23:47 Yes, I can, because it's just things that Timmy does. I've watched him play a lot of Apex Legends over the years and it wouldn't surprise me even in some of the toughest lobbies in the world for him to pull off.
02:24:13 Das ist FURIA, die wir haben zu sprechen, um das Spiel zu erzählen. Die Frage ist, haben sie genug gemacht? Wir werden sehen, wie die Standings sehen wird, nach dem Spiel ist. Aber ich meine, eine der Wahnschläge ist, was das Escape von Timmy, wo du sah ihn entscheiden, das ist nicht eine gute Idee, um in dieser Situation zu sein, oder take this fight, ich würde sagen. Ich habe jetzt einen Rappel-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left
02:24:41 If you're also put up the cat wall which actually helped out Timmy they then they second guess it wondering alright or should we just fully send it on to him until we saw the action in front of them and then double did a double take and figured out let's just play for positioning let's be able to try to take this game here let's not chase get too ahead of ourselves but still
02:25:01 Led up to a great action that we got to see at the very end. And still amazing decision, obviously, that worked into the win that we just saw from Imperia. We know that they land right there in Lightning Rod so they could work their way over from the north side all the way down to the south, where they could play on the edge of the circle, which I believe in their POI, in that game specifically, they didn't have a ring console. So I don't think they had that information. Instead, wanted to wait patiently to see where the circle was going to be pulling, see where everybody else was.
02:25:28 By the way, huge props and shout out to Designfall. I love it when players come into that final zone with nothing and they're like, I could try and find a loot box or I could just go down swinging. I mean, it's a great thing in life. If you're going to go down, go down swinging. It's as simple as that. And Designfall almost managed to push a couple of players out of the zone and do the damage for Timmy to clean it up. But Furia do get that win. And I'm pretty sure, if I'm not mistaken, they might be very close. If not...
02:25:53 On to match point. We'll have to get confirmation of that when we do get those leaderboards in in a few seconds time. But I mean, we were talking about Furia and, you know, the team change, everything they've been through in the last few weeks, the disappointment of playoffs. But this will be the perfect way to bounce back to be the first team to hit match point and then potentially look to convert as well. Although because Stallions live for as long as they did at the very end, we were so fixated on the fight that we were having over by it's Timmy and Furia.
02:26:18 Stallions had that fight versus Furia at the very end because Furia got involved into what Stallions had dropped down on in the original fight. That means Stallions are sitting at 54 points.
Match Point Scenarios and Team Strategies
02:26:28
02:26:28 They are the first team to be sitting at match points here in this lobby. And you are correct, by the way, on set. With the kills, I think they had 7 KP at the end. We'll have the math sorted out. But that does set up Furia, if the math is correct, right behind Stallions in second place with 48 points. So two points away from being at match point two. We are already starting to iron out the top 10 here for this lobby.
02:26:51 Well, let's take a look at the final circle from the winner's POV. Of course, that's going to be a Furia and break down exactly what we did see, because it was to say it was chaotic would be an understatement and a complete misvalue of the adjective itself. But I mean, Furia, I think the most important thing for them is the moment they took that high ground rock, right? From there, it was very difficult for anyone to really establish any kind of dominance. For a second there, when that knock went in, you were like, oh no, this is starting to fall apart. But they got the res initially onto Albreleli after
02:27:21 Ich glaube, das war das Spiel.
02:27:30 Yeah, they're not going to give up this ground, even with Timmy playing right underneath them and knowing exactly where he is. You saw the off-angle attempt from Panders before he managed to just stay put on this ground, trying to pinpoint where Timmy is, but this is the best position to be if you're in Furious Case. You get the high ground, you get to see where the squads are going to be rotating from the back, you get some extra KP while you're at it too with the last two remaining squads, and that is a full squad in front of them, so they want to prioritize this, Zera going down and still being able to get the reset nonetheless.
02:27:59 Ich habe das Problem in der Endgame gewonnen, um zu machen, dass Horizon, werfe es für dich ist, hat das ultimative Abilität, und es ist noch nicht so, dass es mich, oh, Horizon ist jetzt nicht so, wenn die Nerfs kamen. Ich habe schon mal, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du, hast du.
02:28:20 Der Dojo wurde erinnert, und dann Führer wurde erinnert, nachdem der Dammage wurde erinnert. Ich glaube, Timmy hat einen in die Grave genommen gemacht, das macht die Job viel einfacher für sie zu convertieren. Aber High Ground ist immer wieder der Winner in dieser Situation. 7 Kills für Führer in den finalen Momenten, alle contributing in den Dammage Stats.
02:28:37 Wow, basically even across the board here, looking at the damage stats. So close with one another. And you can really see that the cohesion is working together with Furia, with Albert Lely being the newest member of this roster. Nice to see this progress here from Furia, especially since they're now, I believe, situated with 48 points. That also will even themselves out with Dojo, because at the very end with Timmy's survivability, that should set up Dojo to be right alongside Furia. Nice damage here coming in from everybody from this team, but also just the pain.
02:29:07 Das Spiel we're not witnessing from Furia has shifted away from the usual playstyle of the aggression that we're used to seeing from this team. Yeah, I think there's a little bit more balance here for Furia. And it gives them a little bit of a fallback in certain situations. It's not just see team, push team, win fight, which was so successful for them for so long. But Furia looking like a really well-rounded team at the moment, especially after that win. And they've got a lot more work to do, of course. It's not done yet for them. They still have to...
02:29:32 ...progress up those leaderboards if they want to go to the LGS Championships. Speaking of the leaderboards, we will take a look at that in just a few moments time to let you know how the points are stacking up, which teams are on match point, who has the opportunity in this next game to maybe convert into a win. And Vicky, again, I feel like just as we're getting started on one map, we switch over next to World's Edge again. So the teams have to rethink. It really is kind of a mental test of every facet of Apex Legends for these teams right now.
02:30:01 It's about the whiplash that you have to make when it comes to the adjustments that we're having between two maps on Stormpoint, two maps onto World's Edge. Well, we're back at home for some of these teams that feel comfortable. Fury do end with the 7kp that we had seen in total here, as well as the dub that makes it 19 points for them. Team Stability coming in second place with those 18 points. They definitely needed that here too. That's a team that is now, I believe, situated in seventh place with 32 total points. Dojo, Timmy as a solo, riding it out to the very end.
02:30:31 Ich glaube, es ist okay. Findet ihn in der Pathfinder Arena zum nächsten Mal, weil sie sich mit den Top-3-Spots sind.
02:31:00 Ich glaube, es ist nur Stallions. 54 Punkte, sie haben Matchpoint, Active, Furia und der Dojo so close. Aber close ist nicht gut genug, Vicky, als wir wissen.
02:31:20 Actually crazy, one team already at matchpoint, but you can still see at least from Furia all the way down to native gaming. Heck, you could even throw in Team Stability on there. It takes that one good game to be able to pop off. One team already making their way though adds in some extra pressure for the likes of Furia and Dojo being as close as they are to play a different playstyle moving onto Worlds Edge to secure at least matchpoint for that following game.
02:31:44 So our first Matchpoint team confirmed. Stallions is going to be that team. But it's time for me to step aside for a man who's a Stallion himself. It's the second time I've used it. And don't worry, it's still got as much value as the first time. It's going to be rain day. Welcome back, my friend.
02:31:57 Thank you so much, Mark. And I'm not even mad at you telling me to come back at this point because that line, I'll just take it every time. Of course, I'm going to bring back Vicky to cast along with me here in Game 5. And, you know, you just had a ton of time speaking about this. So what I'm going to do is take a little bit of weight off your shoulder, give my thoughts as well, because I didn't have a chance to react to what I saw It's Timmy do. And one of the bigger points about that, which I'm sure the chat went crazy over or is about to go over as we are on a little bit of a
02:32:26 So we see the action first. I think that you do start to look at how this meta in Apex has shifted away from mouse and keyboard being the dominant input. And it's not to say MNK versus controller as we jump into match five here with one team stallions on match point, the ability to close it out here and see if it'll be a nice fight between Dojo and Furia for second place. Like we had a tie for second and it had to be the biggest game to do it last time.
02:32:54 But as the teams leave the drop shift, I kind of want to open back up this conversation of...
02:32:59 The fact that Timmy is showcasing why MNK is valuable, it's that movement. And when you have a player who's known for being able to get out of sticky situations and just survive, sometimes that extra bit, that extra tap strafe is enough to force a team like Fury to just say, we're not going to pay attention to you right now. We're going to focus on bigger problems. It didn't do enough to ultimately get him into match point. But man, it was about as close as possible. I am going to continue, as I know Vicky's done a great job of casting.
02:33:28 Ich werde Sie in diese Drop-Teams gehen, und sie wird gleich zurück in eine Minute. Aber wir sehen uns diese Map, als wir es bereits in Staging sehen. Und ich denke, das ist ein sehr interessantes Gespräch in Bezug auf unsere Team. A Southern Circle, possibly.
02:33:46 Will they have a difficult time heading down into the south? Also teams that we've come in highlighting meat lovers. They're dealing with trials and skyhook with most hated, hopefully getting out of that northern side and running not into ape gang or flat, but seeing if they can push past that and maybe with an evac tower, rotate early into zone. For those joining us as well, this has been.
Dojo's Elimination and Furia's Match Point
02:34:09
02:34:09 Das ist eine fantastische Showcase, die jetzt, wir sind in Game 5, wenn es mit der Team Stallion geht, wir würden noch spielen Game 6, das ist ein sehr wichtiges Thema.
02:34:25 It ends here. We still play one more. And of course, with Vicky joining us back in, a well-deserved minute and a half rest there as you've now done two games in a row. Just setting up what we're seeing on the map is Dojo. Dojo find themselves in a really nice spot with Thermal Station possibly being where this game ends.
02:34:43 Wow, is the script writing itself? I was hearing you, Randy, talk about this movement and what mouse and keyboard could provide in terms of the flexibility that the movement comes with that output. And, you know, going into my early Apex days, looking at players like Timmy, Asu, being able to see Fade, being able to move the way that they do, it's always so entertaining to see the ability of how quick they get out of bad situations and how they break necks.
02:35:11 Fooling around a lot of these other teams and being able to slip away. Always so fun to watch, especially in the old construction site building. But the fact that we get to watch it here in this lobby, playing out full force is always so enjoyable too.
02:35:26 You see it already. The Circle prioritizing Dojo and some of these teams wasted no time on their rotate too. Over to the north side, you already see Dojo here. Yur is starting to fly in. E8 as well. Native Gaming, Noxious. So many squads with the quick rotate because some of these teams, now recognizing that there's already a squad at match points, want to so desperately also start racking up the KP that they need if they can find some of these squads that are late rotating through the choke points.
02:35:53 A lot of patience is going to be required by Aporia and Dojo as well. Aporia in 10th place, obviously a lot to do now and maybe needs to be more aggressive considering the fact that second is the only way or of course first to get into the ALGS Championships.
02:36:09 Dojo in a completely opposite situation. They only need two points to have a chance to win it all. But if they're playing zone this early, not rotating, they're going to have to sit in a building for a long time to get two placement points. That's going to have to be at least 10 teams down. And so they will have to avoid conflict somehow and also do it with potentially limited gear in terms of rotation. So we'll wait and see and pick back up with them as, of course, 20 squads still alive and well.
02:36:36 We see this oftentimes, Vicky, especially when these zones are a little bit more predictable. Teams make their rotations early, but also teams perfectly fine, not taking too many risks, as they can kind of already at least predict where things are going to end up for the most part.
02:36:51 Especially when you have the legends that have been making a high appearance being Catalyst. Native though, playing off the low ground, having to be careful. This does work out having the caustic, but you hear what's floating around and Deary, would that be a shame if these caustic barrels just get griefed by an EMP. But I'm not expecting that EMP to be unleashed anytime soon because there's more squads in the area. So if they do...
02:37:16 Only said EMP, that just could be a green light for other teams to take advantage of the position that Native Gaming is there. They do see the evac tower also from afar, just maybe seeing if they could take some easy shots before the other teams do, but look how many teams are already here in this circle. It reminds me of NRG Sweet Dreams and a sweet dream of Sheila. Boy oh boy, what a fun time that was at playoffs, dropping in with the mobile respawn beacon.
02:37:42 Und mit zwei Ulten Excellen zu bekommen, das nur Weapon möglich ist, das Ultimate. Ich dachte mir auch, was andere Charakter könnte es tun? Und dann habe ich gedacht, oh, Vantage existiert. Wir sehen uns nicht oft in Kompetitive. Eine der größten Gespräche, die vielleicht in einem Moment, wo es nicht Matchpoint, wir können in die Richtung gehen. Jetzt, Ryze versucht, aus diesem Problem zu gehen. Eine gute Antwort mit der Fahrer. Ich denke, vielleicht instinktually stopt die Rez.
02:38:07 Weil Seere zu verabschieden die Rez. Jetzt ist es nur ein Silenzen, also wird es nicht sein. Ooppe ist mit dem Prowler. Er hat eine Vision mit dem Exzibit, Vickie, aber erinnert sich um diese Richtung zu verabschieden.
02:38:19 His toe was, oh my goodness, the nade. We're seeing fights on different angles. Yes, they are able to maintain. Now all the way through to get that match point, Dojo doing here. And on the other side, while we take a look at both of these teamfights, it's a whiplash real quick, going back and forth. Most hated are going to be able to walk away, literally running away because a 30-30 is to their backs and they do not want to be caught in the line of sight here. Meanwhile, Dojo in a worse situation, but playing off the back end of the stairwell.
02:38:48 are going to be able to add in the extra pressure. He has literally won and they have so many shield swaps to work with in this building. Wow, the enemy of enemy is my friend. We finally got it right, but at this point, enemy has no friends in this building as Elevator trying to take it away and find their space next to Dojo in the chaos of what will be potentially the end zone of this game. But Timmy and enemy somehow outlast and out...
02:39:16 So there are at least still two members of Dojo remaining. Vicky, you could say that it's not necessary, but my goodness, I told you they were going to have to survive for a while and be patient. Well, one of those things was right because patience doesn't need it at all. They need to go because people are coming for their spots. Everyone's landing. It's a burden to play. No, it's about three other squads. We get their way through, forcing their way into the building. E8, Naughty gets the first knock.
02:39:45 Amazing trick here. Look how low he is. He's got the Phoenix City ready to reset here. I love these two buildings north of Thermal Station. This is where most of my clips come from, and this is why we love to see some of these teams take advantage of the position that they can hold. Even with the piercing spikes here, throwing out the gravity lift to block out that doorway, prevent these teams from being able to come in to reinforce as well. E8 are safer now. My goodness, this is just chaos. True chaos in every form.
02:40:14 Und das bedeutet, dass es eine der beiden Teams noch da ist. Es ist Simi und Enemie. Sie haben einen Weg, wenn sie ein Spieler sind, zu bleiben. Ich glaube, sie hat sich in den Bildern gehalten. Ich glaube, sie sind in den Bildern Aporia. Aber jetzt ist E8.
02:40:33 ein bisschen resurgence. 19th position with only 10. We expected a lot more from Zach's team. You know, one of those players that has been iconic in the Apex Legends scene. His personality, his presence, his ability to compete at a high level has had a little bit of a rough go over these last few months finding that right squad. Can EA be it, Vicky? Certainly want to position themselves in a power spot and they think have done so right now.
02:41:00 And congratulations to them surviving the chaos. My goodness. That's Apex for you.
02:41:06 For now, at the very least, only securing one KP, but they'll make do with what they have at the very least, especially being in 19th in this lobby right now, as we see the side-by-side of not only the squads that are holding that choke to the north side of Thermal Station, exiting out of Mirage Trois, but also where it's going to be pulling by staging. BIL got the download on that, and they're actually in a really good spot. Really, the squads that are going to be slow rotating into that next circle, and Ape Gang being right to their north.
02:41:34 The two teams are gonna, they really have to focus on. The third from Ape is making their way right over to rejoin the rest of the squad. And we have a Rez. Did we just see the Rez come out right now from Dojo? It looks like they may have pulled it off on the outskirts of that fence. Listen, Temmie pulled off the Rez by himself with Furia staring down just...
02:41:54 Du denkst, in einem Raum, er wird nicht versuchen, das Rez zu ziehen? Ich bin sicher, es könnte sein. Luxverdi, der sich derjenige, der war zu kommen, nach dem Spiel zu kommen. Natives wird ihn einfach so schnell, als er hat Revive gemacht. Mamba mit dem Nemesis gearbeitet hat. Such a deadly weapon, und such a priority hier in this current season of Apex. Und wir können nicht warten, um zu sehen, wie das Meta develops.
02:42:18 Apegang in 16th place with 15 points. And now 15 squads remaining with Round 2 about to close in. And a fight for survival. That tower at the bottom of Thermal Station held with Mamba and Akosik. Vicky, that is going to be a tough fight for any team who wants to try to get to that central part of the zone. Luxverde is still alive. The gold knockdown coming in clutch from Meatlovers.
02:42:47 Does he have anything to work? Okay, there you go. That's a good teammate right there. I was wondering if he had anything to work with here. He's got the Prowler. And let's see if he can make magic happen. It's just the position that they're in is a very... Oh, they did try doing it, but putting down the beacon right in the line of E8, they're not going to let you get away with that for free. Even with a drone, they're going to know exactly where they're at. And this is the benefit of having crypto, right? Because a lot of people do want to take advantage of getting into zone and a high-level competitive...
02:43:16 Es ist besser für beide Teams, wenn sie nicht zu Endeffekt haben. Aber wie werden wir jetzt rausgehen? Und wenn du, wenn du zu Revive versuchen kannst, dann wird es nur ein Problem. Es ist nur ein Problem, dass Dojo eine Coordination von E8 war. Und das ist genau das, was wir warten. Naughty, Chaotik und Zack Mazur, show up.
02:43:43 They wake up the lobby, they shut down Dojo, but they'll be happy, Dojo, just to wait till next round when they can really show up and claim match point. That's assuming Stallions don't take it in this game, Vicky. The deed is done for them for now, and so is the deed for Furia, because they are also at match point as we welcome another team into the 50-point gang. Furia playing inside this building is also a really smart option, because playing off this position alone,
02:44:12 Allow yourself to be away from the chaos that's going to come once these squads have to filter out of Thermal Station, while not only having to be in the line of sight of the teams that are still in staging, secure themselves inside this building, but the one thing that they don't have is where that next ring is going to be pulling, and it is going to be pulling away from them. They could play by the train tracks, but it's about waiting for the teams to have to funnel outside of Thermal, so that way they don't get pushed and then pinched in a sandwich situation.
02:44:40 I mean, it's a great play when you look at where E8 are, Zach having taken that building. They're actually in the building best position to now rotate and see where the zone pulls. And these hardcore thermal teams like DNO and like Native, they're going to have to push away. Even Stallions is going to have to make their way north now. And it is a very difficult climb outside of Thermal Station if you are not prepared and if you don't time it right. The time may be now as 55 seconds are on the clock for round three. Mamba throwing the Costa cans, but he's going to have to leave that territory.
02:45:10 Pretty soon, they're just trying to find the right way to push and climb out of this lava pit of death as DNO on top of them, kind of overseeing the journey. And they're happy to wait here for now because at least they've got vision on the rest of the lobby.
02:45:27 Luxemburg hat einen guten Tag. Meatlovers get taken out of the lobby. Playing off... Not the best position when you're playing off that low ground and thermal station. You can see the pings, too, coming in from DNO. They know that there's a squad right below them. They've been hearing those caustic bureaus getting put out constantly, too. And they also have the ring console in their line of sight. Thing is, in the next 13 seconds, they're gonna have to start moving. That circle will be closing in right behind them, and they're trying to ping where they can rotate to.
02:45:54 Stallions are leaders in the lobby. The only team that can take match point and close out at least their chance right now to secure their spot in championships. However, for those just joining us, it still means we will play a game six because we are guaranteed to go six in order to find out our true second place. So it will give all of your fan favorites, if they aren't Stallions, a chance.
02:46:17 We can play 100 if we need. Did someone take our sponsor? 101! Yeah, you have to play safe, bro.
02:46:48 He comes yeah And there's so much space back here, bro
02:47:14 Well, I can't say that that was the most informative listen-in. It did, however, give us a lot of information visually, Vicky, as they lost two players the second I threw it to them. So Mark was worried about the caster curse. I think mine was activated a little bit quicker than I expected. A little frame perfect there, Rain Day. Right when we decided to see how the rotation was going to go, DNO was right there, and they had no idea.
02:47:41 Sinox, die auf den Sierer zu können, wird es auch da sein. So jetzt, auf die Lowground-Grohung. Die Dream ist still alive. Wir gehen auf ein weiteres Spiel mit mehr Teams zu machen. Es ist ein Matchpoint. Will wir zurück, dass das Moment für Stallions-Fans und sagen, das war eine Chance, das war. Wir wissen, das ist ein schwerer Climb. Aber wenn du das, das ist das Moment, dass du musst, nicht über die Final-Circle. Du musst einfach aus dem Pit, der Thermal Station.
02:48:09 Das könnte sich für eine Möglichkeit, dass es so elusive ist, um zu sein, mit niemandem contestant zu werden. Ich bin nicht sicher, dass es over ist. Stallions still haben Stallions in Minkay. Aber das könnte es über sein. Als ich spreche, ich habe Gaster Kirsten, die heck aus Stallions. Ich bin sorry, Leute. Aber du hast es nicht, weil du bist, weil du all dead bist.
02:48:32 Und ich denke, du hast alles gegründet. Ich meine, ich werde jetzt nicht sagen, dass du ihn an dieser Stelle sagen kannst. Jetzt bist du für DNO, das ist eigentlich die zweite Team, die ich auf meinem Seite habe. Ich liebe dich, die Support zu sehen, wenn wir DOO come out in full form haben. Every single individual player in diesem Team ist so talented. Wir haben hier viel Platz hier, bevor sie hier auf die High-Ground von Lü.
02:48:58 See where their next move is going to be, because look who is right next to them. It's going to be Yurr on the other side, but D&O may find themselves pinched. On the right side, it's going to be Secret Formula. Secret Formula, they've had a good showing earlier today. They've won game number two with a nice win and 9kp on top of it. Giving them 21 points overall. So can they replicate something like that? D&O, though, stand in the way of the entire lobby with a nice dark veil coming through from Duplex.
02:49:24 Formerly the Optikman representing DNO now hits a couple of nice shots ringing with the car. How can he keep it going though here Vicky as he's finding that piercing spikes a little tankier than he may have expected. Fighting into a corner should prove valuable but they've got to make a play and Lou he's the last one standing. Can he clutch it up? He cannot and DNO fall.
02:49:45 And it's because of the squad on the other side that are going to capitalize Secret Formula. You heard the PK shots ringing through the air. Yur is going to find themselves back in the lobby alongside DNO. Those Thermites were insane on the other side. Meanwhile, the Thermites are also lighting up the Sky Gear 2 for Yubin to just loot up everything that is left from these death boxes. A little graveyard at their feet. Meanwhile, the Black Market is activated behind them. And Secret Formula are going to go shopping before they rotate to that next choke point.
02:50:12 This is where you want a massive knuckle cluster, but instead of that damage over time, you want just a big AoE explosion, just a big little burst right where you see those teams clumped up, because it was so juicy, but a car, only one bullet can hit at a time, and unfortunately, it was just a matter of numbers. Too many teams shooting at TNO, they'll go back to the drawing board, and the issue is they're not on match point, so they'll have to wait yet another game and yet another map change to be able to have a chance at victory. ASR?
02:50:41 Nice spot in the Zone. They are firmly cemented into it and probably one of the most ideal trailers that you could be in. With all the action up on top, it's certainly a chance for Furia and of course Secret Formula to add a lot of points here though coming from Highground.
02:50:57 Es ist die Katwahl aktiviert in front of them. Seeker Formula ist, dass sie es sicherlich sind, mit dem Seertak zu bekommen. Aber jetzt sind sie auf Cooldown, sie gehen für die Approach, sehen sie es bereits auf der anderen Seite. Sie haben noch einen Knochen in der Feed. Die Thermite kapitalisieren. Sie sehen diese Train Cards? Sie sehen die Spikes, auch? Wo werden sie von hier gehen, als das Creepen Barrage also machte ihren Weg in.
02:51:22 Secret Formula hat sich aus dem High Ground zu verlassen. Vielleicht geht es für ein Wall. Was war es? Auf der Seite ist ein Team, auf der Seite zu der Seite. Trennt zu blocken die Vision von Noxus, die auch auf den Train-Tracken ist. Rund 5. 5 Sekunden leften, um ein bisschen mehr zu machen. Yubin, von überall hinweg, connects Global Shots in terms der Distanz von der G7-Scout. Und mit 70 leften in der Magazine, er hat noch mehr. Er hat noch mehr zu Ende. Er ist ein Shot away. A Piercing Spike.
02:51:51 Hail Mary, trying to see if it lands. Not quite yet. He'll do it one more time. This one will get close, but again, no cigar as they will then find a way to at least maintain status quo. No one is down, Vicky. It's a good spot. We're in a top five, but it's about to be chaos because where do you play from this? KSR still with a very envious position with maybe the only cover in the middle of this zone.
02:52:16 The moment that Zone starts closing in right behind Secret Formula, they're going to be sitting ducks in the next 30 seconds here. Dropping off the high ground into the low ground, into everybody's line of sight. Wondering if they're able to get that cat wall online already quick enough. Ooh, the Bojack too. Hiding up the sky. Five squads left. Ape Gan in such a good spot on this high ground. They have some natural cover off the top. Once he wants to go back up again with the gravity lift, gets a quick scope here it looks like maybe. Even maybe a shield back here too.
02:52:44 Oh, yes, he's got only 35 bullets, 10 in the reserve here for the Prowler. That's definitely what he's going to be working with here, too. Yeah, good callout on there. Gets right back on top of the high ground here with the gravity lift. And holding this position and looking at his other teammates, they're playing split up. They get another knock, and that's exactly what we're expecting once that zone was going to close in right behind Secret Formula.
02:53:04 Ich meine, jetzt ist es nur ein Problem für die Wahl. Du hast so viele Optionen. Du hast nur zwei Re-Loads von deinem Nimesis zu tun. Du hast Wi-Fi unten, um zu tun. Aber look at Burstee auf Kick, auf der Fuse. Er spielt eine MASSIVE Rolle hier in dieser Fight, um Thales zu figurenter und push mit dem Prowler. Sie haben sehr minimal room.
02:53:26 Aber ich denke, sie können es mit ihrer Position machen, Vicky. Es ist nur ein Problem, dass sie es auszutauschen. Sie werden eine Win-Win haben. Und mit 31 Punkten und zwei Spiele leften, sie können in der 40-point-Range sein, wenn sie das auszutauschen können. Apegang brauchen das, und sie sind in der besten Position zu arbeiten mit auf dieser High-Ground. Führer machen ihre Weg jetzt über BIL, auf die Low-Ground. Apegang gett die Memo. Sie wollen die Party hier, auch. Und was ist left...
02:53:54 Es ist CLEANED UP, ApeGang! Wer sind die Verteilung für Nummer 5? Es gibt keine bessere Art von ApeGang. Sie haben es so gut gemacht, dass es nicht so einfach war. Das war nicht so einfach. Das war nicht so einfach. Das war nicht so einfach. Das war nur für die Zeit und die Position.
02:54:14 Even the utilization of the micro to get enough bullets one more round from the crafter to finish off pressuring with the nemesis and have enough in the prowler to drop down. It was a beautiful micro showcase, but it was also just a great position from early on. Ape Gang played their cards right, and Vicky, that is how you get it done. A big win from them, and we will go again. No match point winners this time around.
02:54:35 And I was paying close attention to the way that Ape had made that rotation because they played split up originally where two were holding the choke point north of Thermal Station since they didn't have the ring console yet. But their third stayed behind in Lava Fisher where their POI is, where they did have a ring console, waited to the third last circle to get the information and then predicted where it was going to pull all the way to staging. Whereas a lot of the other teams that we saw were stuck in the chaos of Thermal Station. So holding on to that high ground, having the positional advantage and accruing.
02:55:04 All the KP that they did, I believe they finished with like 12 kills at the end of that game. So Apegan, they needed that game and they secured it. Yeah, they were on 30 something, 31 maybe. So they weren't in the position to get to match point. But they definitely could have gotten all the way up to 40 something, maybe 41 too. We'll have to wait and see as we take a look at the final circle here. We'll be able to get some stats for you probably off the top of our head as we run through it. I talked about position. I talked about micro.
02:55:31 You saw Apegang right here. This is after Thales goes and gets a little bit more damage in terms of bullets in the magazine for the Nemesis. It pays off immediately, Vicky, as they continue to threaten from high ground. That weapon brings tears to my eyes and it's doing the same thing here as we can see. That cat, well, isn't going to protect you. Even if they can't see, they know where you are in that position.
02:55:55 And they made sure it was a nail in the coffin too. You can see the mother load over to the left side. Love these shots from the high ground here. A sitting duck.
02:56:03 Just presenting your head on a platter here for Thales to be able to take advantage of. Waiting out on the fight too, not dropping them down preemptively. You see the communication and the pings here from the team to focus on one squad hugging the edge of the circle and to finishing off the team that was left right below them. Playing this patiently and not trying to get ahead of themselves. And the truth is, was this a solo or was this a duo down below who finished that fighting? Because we know they cleaned up the last team. How many kills do they get on the other team? Right now they're sitting with seven in total.
02:56:32 We'll see how that cleans up. They definitely get close to about 41 points, I would say. Maybe 38. But 24, one of our biggest games of the day in North America. And 12 kills, 12 placement points. That has got to send you going into Game 6. Real happy, Vicky. With Bill, Furia, KSR, and Secret Formula following in terms of placement. But big shoutouts to D&O and Yur, who have massive games in terms of kills.
Match Point Finals and Championship Qualification
02:56:58
02:56:58 Also big for Furia to be able to get the placement points and the 2KP on top of that. I do believe that has elevated Furia to that number one spot. Although we do want to see our Matchpoint team take the dub, let's not forget it's the top two squads that make their way into the champs. That's what these teams are playing for. Aside from getting that first place spot, you want to be able to have all those points that you could work with there on the top end of the leaderboard.
02:57:20 Ich meine, es ist toll, dass wir auf FURIA sehen und die Art von FURIA haben, was die LCQ der letzten Jahrzehnte. Wir sehen uns das Team aus dieser Position zu sehen, um 2nd place zu sehen, in der größten Tournament in der Welt zu sehen.
02:57:37 We said that could be the story of a team like a Go Next or Lesite de France who qualified in EMEA. Now it has a chance to be Furious story again. But the big changes are, of course, Albert Lely coming in with Panders and Zeratricky with his Watson taking a break from competitive. We don't know if it's a full retirement. We don't know if he'll be back. But we do know that he's not here now as we take a look at our three teams on Match Point. One of these teams will not be going to championships.
02:58:04 That is a scary and crazy thought, Vicky, because at this point, they have all played so well. This lobby is so stacked, and look how close it is to between Secret Formula, even all the way down to Team Stability, working with those 33 points. There's a slight gap between Stability and Native Gaming, but so many individual players are talented in this lobby. D&O are right there with 47 points. Can they put themselves at Match Point, or is it too little too late as we go on to game number six on World's Edge?
02:58:34 Ape King surely do themselves a favor. 38 points, that means one big game, another 24-point game. That puts them into 42. 62 points, they would be in first place. And that would even give them a cushion for Fury to get an extra five points in this next game. So I think that there's a lot of teams chasing this. Three teams on Matchpoint, they've got to close it out or the competition is coming right.
02:58:58 So make sure you stay tuned. We've got game six coming up. We're going to go to break here by Rain Day and Vicky on the castle. Let Mark and Dan, possibly somebody else. I know we're going to take a break. I am and get back for some more action here with Match Point Finals.
03:00:49 We have a chance for one of our big three.
03:01:18 zu vielleicht machen es hier in Match 6. Als Reinde quite rightly alluded zu, eine dieser Team ist nicht zu machen, welches ist ein bisschen verrückt, wie gut sie alle spielen können. Und natürlich gibt es noch viele Teams, die in der Zwischenzeit sind in Matchpoint, können sich das Ganze aufnehmen, DNO zu einer der großen Hitze. Es ist World's Edge einmal mehr zu versuchen, ob wir einen Winner hier in Match 6 gehen können, oder ob wir zu Match 7 gehen können.
03:01:45 Well, good news is not too many contests here in World's Edge. We do know that. So everyone's going to have someone to land and play this game out. The real question, like we've mentioned, though, is is this going to be the last game of the evening? Are we going to know who our two teams are that go through?
03:02:00 ...to represent North America in the ALGS Championship. That's what it's all about here, everybody. That's why we're here. And that is about as central zone as you will find on World's Edge. And then we even get the beacon information to show us it's even more central. Fragment is going to be the place to play. Those chokes just to the south of that zone outside of Geyser and North of Lava Siphon are going to be vital to play as well, Dan.
03:02:23 Ja, und es ist ein ziemlich fairer Zone, ich könnte sagen, von den Teams, die sind auf Matchpoint. FURIA von Klimatizer, Stallions von Staxx und Dojo von Thermal. Die drei von der Edge POIs werden alle müssen in eine Central Zone gehen, nur von verschiedenen Bereichen. So das ist gut, dass sie nicht gleiche fighten. Vielleicht können sie alle in Fragment finden, aber es geht darum, wie schnell sie gehen. FURIA hat eine Ring-Console zu arbeiten, wie Dojo.
03:02:48 I don't think that Stallions do down at Stax. I can't quite see it. Maybe one of them is covering it. Oh no, looks like they may as well. So news for all of their POIs. They have something to work with.
03:03:02 How many times do we see things end on this zone, by the way? You know what I mean? This zone's got something about it, everyone. I'm just saying, this zone has got something about it. Maybe a secret formula. Hey, see what I did there? Monument is going to be where they are currently transferring their bodies over to Dropping Gaming, working their way to Monument as well, looking to hit that ring console. But I think Eyes on Fury here. Fragment Zone, if they can get up on that height...
03:03:25 ... ... ... ...
03:03:38 We know how tough it is to leave once you're in there and everyone starts to stack up. Yeah, really tough rotation for some of these teams, but it's about how quick you can move as Noxious are laying down some suppressing fire at the moment. They have the heightened vantage over towards Harvester, but whether they commit to this will be another question entirely. It is a somewhat isolated fight, but whether they actually want to take it or not will have to remain to be seen.
03:04:04 Looks like the Evac Tower is going to be the play instead here for Noxious. 21 points for them so far. Still some way off of Match Point. Their job right now is to try and keep this Lobby going. Looking at the kill feed though, you can see a couple of Nox coming in from Shuby. So he's doing what he can to try and get this Lobby moving a little bit. Two players going to be eliminated early. Noxious now making their way towards Zone and should have some good prayer. This is a good decision to leave Harvester, hit that Evac Tower and get ahead of the traffic because now they are in a priority position. But...
03:04:31 We do know how tough this place is to hold down, Dan. Yes, you have some rocks to play, but the height differential between teams coming through that choke and the position that you're holding down can be difficult to fight with sometimes with those teams coming in late.
03:04:44 Yeah, it depends whether they want to keep going with their rotation or whether they will just try and hold those rocks. Now, DNO are in a spot where we've seen a lot of teams try and hold for this zone time and time again. Not as easy with the composition that they have. I mean, Watson usually helps as Zipporah have lost one, make it two that they've lost. And it is going to be all three of them down at one, two and three as Yeo will get the kills and they will push themselves up to 15 points. So it's still a long way to go for them to get anywhere near match point as they are very hesitant in the moment thinking there could be a third.
Spielsituation und Team-Positionierungen im späteren Spielverlauf
03:05:13
03:05:13 Ja, du kannst es sehen, es gibt einen Schockspiel in Exchange. Wir haben ein bisschen Zeit für Reset hier, so es wird vielleicht sein, wenn jemand kommt in für das 3rd-Party. Aber, zu sagen, es sieht man, ja, sie sind alleine auf Harvester an der Moment, so sie können ihre Zeit haben, haben sie gewonnen. Chattabas Prime hat sich in den Choke vor dem, und ich will dir was, es ist schon sehr busy, schon. Sie sehen, Native zu sehen, dass die Krates early, das ist, wo wir vielleicht das End-Zone zu kommen. Das ist, wo wir sehen, viele Finishes outside der Fragment.
03:05:41 But Native holding down this choke, I would say this is the priority position. This is where we saw Luminosity Gaming win one of those...
03:05:50 This zone on LAN just a few weeks ago. Was it a week ago? A few weeks ago now? It was a week ago, mate. It was a week ago, wasn't it? Yeah. Time's fast. Oh, you can't be looting and get trapped in a box. It'll be all right. One of the reasons we can work out for you. That'll be getting clean. Oh, no. Not a huge... Oh, God, he's going back. It'll be all right.
03:06:16 We don't see loads of race nowadays. Turns out he was alright. Turns out he was okay. Ape Gang eliminated even despite their victory in the previous game. They will bow out in the early stages. Will not get to match point here in match number six. They'll have to sit back, watch and hope that we carry on going into match seven. Yeah, you made a good point about the areas that people are holding. You know, it's doable, but usually without.
03:06:39 The likes of a Watson, without the likes of a Newcastle, which some of these teams on land did have to hold these spots, it suddenly becomes a lot more tough to actually be able to hold out. You need to have good suppressing fire if you are going to be holding this. You need to be scaring other teams away from you so they don't just walk up on you too comfortably. Well, if you're of what their way just into the respawn village to the east of Fragment at the moment, I keep wanting to say they'll be all right now. You've got it in my head. They'll be all right. They'll be all right.
03:07:07 Das ist wahrscheinlich eine der besten Dinge zu sagen. Vielleicht sollte ich ein paar Teams coachen. Und jederzeit, dass sie ein paar Teams verlieren, wird es gut sein. Ja, ich bin gut. Fragment ist gerade sehr beschäftigt. Sie sehen das jetzt. Noxious sind in der Secret Formulare. Chathamus Prime sind alle involviert.
03:07:23 You have Fury at Team Stability. They're holding down the Respawn Village just next to them at the moment. Ryaz are moving their way from Epicenter at the moment. And Stallions, the team, one of our three teams who are on match point, they're kind of playing this a little bit slower at the moment. The second place overall, just kind of leaving Lava Siphon at the moment. And trying to see if there's anyone to hold out for them. Maybe to just think about picking up some extra points. They certainly don't have Proyo to this zone. A lot of teams ahead of them at the moment.
03:07:48 Yeah, the best position from one of our Matchpoint squads would be Furia. They have found themselves at least in that next circle, whereas both Stallions and Dojo are going to have them move on in. I mean, Dojo have got to move a lot further, but at least Stallions are within touching distance of this zone. It's a really tough position to be in because we mentioned this during Emiya. Yes, you're on Matchpoint, and yes, you want to play it safely because you want to win the game and you want to get into one of those priority positions, but at the same time...
03:08:15 Wenn man nicht genug Punkte bekommt, wenn man einen anderen Team erreicht hat, und das Konkludiert alles hier in Nummer 6 kann, dann kann man nicht Qualifizieren. Es ist eine sehr schwierige Sache, als wir wiederholfen haben, mehr Aktion an hier an Fragment, als ein paar Teams versuchen, einen anderen für ein paar von diesen Buildings zu contestieren. Hier kann man die K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. auf der K.P. ist.
03:08:38 Now they're going to have to reinforce, take control of the doors once more and retreat back up to the second floor. But the difficulty fragment, like I mentioned, it feels like, yeah, we've got a great spot to play from. But when there's three or four other teams trying to play the same buildings, the same spots, and then you have to leave, someone has to die. Most hated might be that first team to die. As you can see, Dynastied is stuck under these tracks. And again, it's McLovin this time. But the same weapon that we've seen so many times in that kill feed, the 30-30 really is ripping through bodies today.
03:09:08 It really is destroying when it's in the right hands in a moment. Oh, we see someone else go down and McLovin will fall. A nice little response from Laser, but I don't think it will be enough to win the engagement. Yeah, should still be fine here in Fragment.
03:09:21 All the meanwhile, by the way, Stallions started to move on down to the south. They went back to Lava Siphon to get a Survey Beacon so they could get more information as to where teams were residing and where they might be able to push. So that's an interesting strategy and probably the correct one considering the spot that they were in, just to give them that little extra bit of info. But it looks like you are going to be okay after the little engagement they had. They got a couple of KP on the board and now they can sit tight and pretty for quite some time.
03:09:48 18 Squad is now remaining. Most of the kills we've seen and we've caught early on in this game. But it's the endgame that's really important here. Who is going to be the team to come out on top? Stallions, one of the matchpoint teams. You mentioned their rotation. Well, it looks like they're headed towards Geyser at the moment. And with the information they have, they're probably thinking about wrapping all the way through to the vault tunnel. They know that DNO, well, they're going to know A-Team, I should say, is holding down the choke in front of them right now. Funk's going to try and scout this out, having just hit that survey beacon. But one thing they can do...
03:10:17 ist, dass es durch den Vault-Tunnel geht und in der Respawn-Village zu spielen. Oder einfach das. Das ist das einfach als möglich. Fortschritt in Depth, weg von der Choke, und take it für dein eigenes. Meat haben nur einen, oder Meatlovers haben nur einen. Flap. Wir werden versuchen, die R99 zu tun, wie es immer macht, und es wird die Initial Opener auf Luxford. Und jetzt heißt es, Meatlovers wird in 18th Position fallen, so wir werden nicht mehr sehen, dass Meatlovers getrennt zu Matchpoint.
03:10:44 It has not been the same kind of performance from them that we've seen throughout the previous matches here in the LCQ. The winner's bracket, they did so well. They came in in third position, but have not been able to get going today. The Stallions have kind of found a place to play. Dieno are holding them out at the moment, and this is a really, really interesting fight because you can see the armor advantage is certainly...
03:11:07 mit Stallions auf der Lowground, aber die Dino haben die Height. Die Problem für sie ist die Ressourcen. Ich meine, ihr schaut nach dem Moment an, dass sie schon ausgedrückt sind. Die Dino macht das Quick Rotate zu halten, um es ein Priority Position zu halten. Lose einen. Fantastische Schuss mit dem Nemesis. Die Stallions werden hier machen. Sie werden alles auf das Spiel machen. Das könnte eine gewünschte Spiel sein, wenn sie das Spiel gewinnen können, aber die Black Hole nicht tun das, was es braucht. Wir kommen zum Listen mit Stallions, als sie versuchen, die Pace zu machen.
03:11:34 Oh man, oh man. I clipped one bro, we gotta lurk for that.
03:11:56 Es war ein bisschen zu hören, Dan, aber Stallion wurde erinnert auf Match Point, das heißt, DNO hat 50 selbst, und sie werden auf Match Point sind auch. Es war ein Kiel für sie, aber es war ein Risky, sie versucht, alle ihre Eggs in einen Barsch, aber dieses Mal, es kommt nicht aus.
Matchpoint-Situation und Strategie von Dojo
03:12:13
03:12:13 You know, Matchpoint, as you said, but they can't win it in this game. So now they just have to try and deny both Furia and Dojo after denying Stallion. So one is down, two more to go. Speaking of Dojo, they're still having a jolly old time at the moment, still in the zone over towards Harvester. They do have a ring console here in Harvester as well that they can use if they would like to, just to get that extra information as they progress over towards Fragment. Now the Circle is going to be going to the train tracks, so...
03:12:42 Es ist nicht der schlimmste Fall für Dojo. Sie haben einen guten Fall für Dojo gesehen. Ja, es ist ein guter Fall für Dojo. Wenn es um den Weg geht, und nach den Natives und D&O geht, Dojo wahrscheinlich hätte eine schwierige Zeit gewinnen. Aber mit dem zu den Südwesten geht es, wenn Dojo gewinnen einen Kampf auf dem Weg geht, dann könnte er sich in eine bessere Position zu finden. Es ist wirklich verrückt, wie eine Zone-Shift kann verändern. Wir waren über Führer in einem guten Platz ein paar Minuten später. Wir waren über Führer in ein guter Platz ein paar Minuten. Wir waren gedacht, dass es um einen guten Platz geht geht.
03:13:11 Aber dann sieht man das Schiff, einfach zu der anderen Seite. Und jetzt haben wir die Dojo geöffnet. Das ist eine Möglichkeit. Die Liste ist bereit. Los geht in den Dojo, sehen wir wie sie das. Watch our back now. Watch our back now. I'm not forward. I'm not forward. I need to get spiked up, but I'm not forward. I'm good. He's got a vault and everything. They're looking to come towards us.
03:13:38 We are good. We are good. It's the duo. Keep watching our back though. They're getting pinched. They're getting pinched. They're getting pinched. They're getting pinched. They're getting pinched. I'm watching. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. He's 1 HP. Yes, we just got a hard watch our back. We can't push any further than this. 100 I got. Get back it up. Can't lose any trades here.
03:14:04 Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG. Ich habe noch DG.
03:14:34 One takeaway from that listening, Dan, is, you know, Dojo recognises the situation. Yes, they get the knock. That allows them to move into a safe spot. But they constantly were talking to each other. I think it was designed for the comms saying...
03:14:45 Stay close to each other. Do not put yourself in a position that one of us can get singled out. Play tight, and from there we're gonna be in a position if we have to fight that we can all support each other. And just be well aware of who's coming behind them, and it was E8, but they backed E8 off, and now E8 are pushing up onto Native here, and looking to see if they can maybe grab a spot in this chokehold, but it looks like even with the Dark Veil being down and the Counter Dark Veil, it's too much for them to even think about trying to push it. They're so vulnerable and blind as they push up that hill, as in the killfeed, Furia have lo-
03:15:14 1. Albrelli hat sich geholfen. Es ist Pandas und Zeratricki jetzt, als 2 zu versuchen, hier für FURIA. Wirklich, wirklich schwer für FURIA. Are sie zu versuchen, diese Banner zu holen? Kann sie sich Albrelli zurück in diese Spiel geben? Ist es ein Mobile Rez? Es sieht aus, dass sie die Banner für die Banner sind. Sie haben nicht die Banner zu holen. Sie haben nicht die Banner zu holen.
03:15:35 Und jetzt FURIA haben sie zu retreiten, aber sie werden so viele Angler auf der moment. Das könnte der Ende der Straße sein für FURIA. Unless PANDAS kann etwas anderes machen hier. Er hat ein bisschen zu cover, aber nicht genug, um ihn zu halten. Zeratricky ist jetzt noch für FURIA. Eine unserer Matchpoint-Teams sieht aus wie sie sind. FURIA geht hier. FURIA geht auf, also jetzt all-attentionen zurück zu der Dojo. Die letzte Matchpoint-Team kann in diesem Spiel gewinnen.
03:16:01 Dojo hat Zone. Dojo hat Zone. Dojo hat Zone. Dojo hat Zone.
03:16:28 It's a long way to go, don't get me wrong with 12 squads remaining, someone could send it on to them, but Dojo are in a great spot right now to win this game. And if Dojo were to win the game, of course second place would be the highest points total. At the moment, Furia are leading on 58, but D&O are still alive and D&O are on 52, so Furia, it's going to be a nervy game and a nervy watch for them because only, what, 7 points required for D&O to overtake Furia, and Dojo could still win off the back of that as well.
03:16:58 So a lot to do still for Dojo though, even though they have a good position and yes they have access to that zone, it's somewhat of an exposed one. There are certain angles they can be shot from, they have the big rock they can play on that left hand side for now, and flat are just gonna be on the other side of the train track. So that's gonna be their first point of contact here. Yeah, you gotta think that's their worry. You can see they're also extremely worried about someone wrapping behind them. Two players went to look at that to make sure it was clear, and now knowing it's clear with the zone closing...
03:17:26 The Dojo only have to focus forward. EA trying to force their way forward themselves though. Dark Veil gonna go down as they try and find a place to play in zone. The Dark Veil gonna come up a little bit short here, which is gonna leave them exposed. And Noi's gonna find that out for himself. This is a tough spot for EA to survive. Yeah, really difficult as they're being shot from several angles at the moment, but the Bat could get the reset for them as we still get another little look as to where the Dojo are gonna hold the rocks that they can play.
03:17:51 Und sie können einfach nur ein paar andere Angler aussehen. Aber sie wollen nicht unnoticed sein. Es ist eine sehr schwierige Weise zu spielen hier, weil sie wollen die Pressure auf andere Teams sehen, wie Bill, Stability und E8 gehen. Aber sie wollen auch nicht zu viel Aufmerksamkeit werden, dass die Leute zu empfehlen werden. Sie haben vieles zu tun, so ist Timmy. Wollt ihr bitte hier.
03:18:12 Managed to retreat to the safety of the teammates. Enemy doing what he can to give as much cover fire as he can to his two teammates. But they command zone right now. They are on the God Rock. They have the God Spot. And with Match Point already being hit, the Dojo are so close right now to going and representing North America at the ALGS Championships. It would be a Cinderella story. But you would love to see these three players back.
Finaler Kampf und Triumph von Dojo
03:18:40
03:18:40 The biggest threat for Dojo is the team
03:19:01 Dojo haben die Zone, aber D&O haben auch eine gute Position. Ich glaube, sie könnten die letzten zwei Teams sein.
03:19:30 duke it out here in this final circle if they play it correctly duplex trying to just step up a little bit here with that hemlock in his hands opening damage gonna be vital secret formula they need six more points to get onto match point themselves no kp for the team at the moment but they are forcing their way towards that zone
03:19:58 Dojo!
03:20:27 This is your moment. This is where you have to clutch up. They will know it better than anyone how close they are. The Bangalore goes down. The Black Hole is destroyed. But the Dark Veil is also down. Duplex finds a safe place. And he also has a varnish spot here. Duplex. Duplex is down. Duplex is down and that means the Dojo have a chance to move in with a 3v2 to close out.
03:20:55 3 vs 2, so Lu und Cenox sind live.
03:21:17 Der Dojo wird es geschafft!
03:21:49 Das war's für heute.
03:21:49 Das ist die Passion. Sie können es nicht glauben. Ich kann es nicht glauben. Die Geschichte ist vollständig. Der Dojo wird in Champs sein. Sie wissen, was ist noch besser? D&O wird auch da sein. Sie waren in der finalen 3v3. Sie haben genug Punkte gewonnen. Es war eigentlich besser, dass D&O gewonnen hat. Sie vielleicht nicht wusste es, aber es hat gesagt, dass sie gewonnen hat. Es wird FURIA gewonnen, in 3rd place. Wir haben unsere zwei NALCQ-Teams.
03:22:19 And what two amazing stories as well. Squads that have gone through so many different team changes, been dropped from teams, formed new teams, and they all, six of them, find themselves at LAN. An amazing, amazing result for both these squads.
03:22:34 Incredible. Absolutely amazing. And also, I've got to give a big shout out to Zain in that final fight. He gets that first pick and it's so important in that 3v3 to get that first pick and to just play the patient game, wait for that opening and then convert. That's what they did. They didn't rush it after that, didn't throw away a life to turn it into a little bit of a shaky feeling 2v2 to close things out. Both teams, I think quite rightly, almost poetically in that final fight, Dan, but the Dojo, I mean, what a story, man. What a story. Dominate.
03:23:04 all the way up to today and then continuing that domination. Amazing stuff from them. We'll bring Rain Day back in for some discussion because this man built Dojos and now he gets to talk about life. Yes, you can see I lay my stories early and they pay off big. Just like I laid every...
03:23:22 Well, not brick, because, you know, Dojo was kind of like, it was like mini brick and like some wood and stuff. You don't need to worry about the details. All I'm saying is I said Dojo at the beginning and now we're saying it at the end. What a moment for a team that has so much, I think.
03:23:38 behind them in terms of fandom, in terms of experiences, in terms of journeys, in all different areas around Apex to put it together here at the last chance qualifier and take the win. And I just think like Mark had said, Dan, getting that first pick for Dojo, that was the difference.
03:23:56 Maybe it wasn't important because DNO was going anyways, but that's got to give them a lot of confidence in what this team could do on the main stage, now heading into September, knowing they've booked their tickets. Hey, there's a lot of ways I can look at that fight if DNO knew where their position was and they knew who they were up against, but I don't think we need to go into that. All we have to focus on is that both those teams got to that final circle. We saw the positions. One was on the east side, one was on the west side. They just had to hold out the squads that were arriving from Fragment, and when they got into that final circle, I think they probably both knew.
03:24:25 They were in a pretty good position to get themselves into the Apex Championships. But when you're in that fight, when you've got that adrenaline flowing through you, you just want to focus what's in front of you. And that's about winning that engagement. And Dojo quite rightly will get that victory that they deserve. It wasn't, you know, the 132 points that we saw them dominate throughout the winner's bracket. They had to work a lot harder and be a lot more tactical about their approach here in the grand finals. But they got the job done. I'm very excited to see them compete online.
03:24:53 I'm on the east side. I'm on the west side. I'm on the east bank.
03:24:57 I'm on the West Bank. It ain't that big a deal. A little shout out to Robin Hood Men in Tights as well. Mel Brooks, one of my favorites. But let's take a look at that final circle, Mark, and talk me through it. Because, you know, we saw D&O have an opportunity. Duplex, usually a guy that we can trust in those situations. Not that he didn't play it perfectly, but obviously going down first, you got to say there's room for improvement there in this fight. I mean, this is the first time we're going to see it from Dojo POV, right? And this is the opportunity for us to really see what happened in these moments. That is the shot through the dark.
03:25:26 Wow!
03:25:55 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
Anerkennung für Spieler und Teams sowie Ausblick auf die ALGS Championships
03:26:13
03:26:13 Yeah, and massive shoutout. Like you said, we talked a lot about Timmy, but Designful and Enemy, they definitely deserve their moments in the sun. I remember back in Sweden, after not such a great performance, and then of course in Champs, Designful saying that he was retiring from Apex Legends. Well, he finds himself now back at Champs.
03:26:33 Pretty interesting journey for him as well. Enemy is such a talented player. And Timmy, you know his name if you know Apex. If you know streaming in general, pretty much one of the biggest streamers in the world. Now he is finding himself back in that competitive seat, and he is doing extremely well. I just can't wait enough. I mean, let's take a look, if we can, at some of these results. We know what's going to happen. We know these game results. This is how the top 10...
03:26:58 Das war die größte Frage, Dan. Und als wir auf der Rückseite schauen, es ist unförtlich, dass sie zu weit weg sind, weil sie zu warten und sehen, was sie in der Lage sein könnte, was sie in der Lage sein könnte. Ja, ich denke, als FURIA ging, haben sie sichergestellt, dass sie Dojo in der Killfeed gehen, aber dann als sie sie approachen, vielleicht hoping, dass der 58 Punkte sie hatten, genug für sie zu landen. Aber als DNO...
03:27:27 It's going to be a very tough time for Furia. You've got to give them credit for being able to get in that position considering the late team change after playoffs and the retirement of his Watson. So, you know, hats off to those guys. It'll be a shame not to see them at LAN, but of course, I'm sure we will see them in year four.
03:27:56 in some capacity. Whether it will be the same roster, whether it will be on different rosters, I don't know. But what matters is we are sending two teams to the ALGS Championships. It's going to be Dojo from Matchpoint and DNO from the 62 points they accrued. And if you need a reason to get your tickets or to make sure you're hype about September 6th through 10th in Birmingham, UK.
03:28:16 The fact is, we're covering two stories today. There's going to be 38 other teams there with just as equally fascinating stories qualified for LAN. And you're seeing them right here from the Optic Gamings. Now Dupe, a little bit of a, I don't know, journey back into the good graces. Will he and his team outperform what Optic Gaming has done after changing out his position with Dropped before SSG?
03:28:42 und sie alle alle in der anderen Weise gehen. Die nächste von EMEA haben eine fantastische LCQ. Wir lieben sie sie. Und wir lieben sie auch alle Mitglieder der Nordamerika, wie LG Chivas, die wirklich gut zu sehen. Dark Zero. Können sie die Unprecedenten für Top LAN-Winners in der modernen Era? Können TSM-Winns tie es wieder mit LAN-Wins? Ich weiß, wir werden alle beigte über das. Moist still left viel auf der table. Firebeavers und Alliance 2.
03:29:09 So many stories, so many things to come through, but today we have to focus on the main stories that these players made us tell. That's why we queue up our final Monster Energy MVP for the LCQ.
03:29:24 All right, I love Monster Energy MVP. I love Monster Energy in general as well. They keep us supplied during these long broadcast days. But Mark, I want to talk to you. We all know who obviously kind of stood out for us in terms of a brand name, but let's give some onus and some focus on some of these other players as first. I'll start with you, Mark. Who do you got? Yeah, I'm going to go honorable mentions today, and I'm going to talk about Funk from Stallions, because I think that Funk had one of those days which he can look back on and be extremely proud of himself. One of the first teams to get onto Match Point looked extremely
03:29:53 Ich glaube, er war sehr stark all-day. Aber es ist nur zwei Spots. Das ist die verrückte Sache über heute's Tournament. Es hat sich fast zu sein, um heute zu sein. Aber wenn man sich auf die Gämpfe anschaut hat, er war so viele gute Dinge für Stallions. Und er hat so viele individuellen PIVs gewonnen, um sie in guter Position zu gewinnen. Und das war das Spiel von Stallions, ich denke, dass er vielleicht ein bisschen mehr auf das All-In ist. Der All-In, das Choke-Play, war ein bisschen... Es war ein bisschen...
03:30:22 Das war's für mich. Aber auch, Funk war super heute. Ich denke, er hat viel zu sein. Unfortunately, er hat sich nicht ganz gut über die line. Aber als ich sage, nur zwei squads können.
03:30:30 Der Start of someone's journey, the end of someone's journey. It might be the beginning of someone else's. I think Funk definitely performed well. Dan, I want to slide things over to you, though. Who is your honorable mention before we start talking about our main Monster Energy MVP? Yeah, I think I know who you're going to go for, Reinde. Very predictable. But I'm going to go for Zera Tricky. I think that when you look at what this team has gone through and the fact that they still found themselves in this spot after making that change from playoffs, there is going to be so much difficult things
03:31:00 They have to try and assess and plan when they're going into an LCQ format where they really popped off throughout this weekend. And they came so close. And Zeratricki is always a massive reason to that. Not only is he great with his knowledge of the game and where he wants to be playing and how he wants to play it, but it's also his ability in-game to win those engagements and making sure he is always staying alive, getting into those positions and getting good angles to lay down the damage. An incredible damage dealer. It's a shame that we're not going to see him at the championships, but...
03:31:29 Ich bin sicher, wir sehen ihn wieder in Jahr 4 und ich kann es warten.
03:31:52 Timmy hat das in Streaming, in YouTube, in every single aspect. In Professional Play, what I'm impressed about is how well he's blended.
03:32:12 mit Design und mit Enemy.
03:32:23 für die Gruppe. Für mich, Timmy ist demonstriert, von einem kompetitiven Level, die selbstlessness, aber auch die Abilität, die eine Teamfight und natürlich eine Individualfightung. Und das ist eine sehr gefährliche Kombination. Wie kann der Squad go? Wir wissen nicht, aber natürlich haben wir hier in der Monster Energy MVP-Vote für den NALCQ. Und ich denke, das ist es für alle drei dieser Spieler, die heute showed up heute. Congratulations zu all unseren Participanten und unseren Monster Energy MVPs.
03:32:58 All right, well, without further ado, fellas, we've been going long for today. We had EMEA, we had NA. Now it's time to talk to one of the players who will be joining us now, not just online for this broadcast, but now in Birmingham, as they have qualified for championships, the biggest ALGS event of the year. It's none other than It's Timmy. Timmy, welcome, man. Congratulations on the performance.
03:33:23 Hello, can you guys hear me? We got you, buddy. Hey, Timmy, congratulations, man. Thank you so much. It is unreal, actually. Yeah, I mean, I don't even need a real question here. I was impressed with just the journey you guys have been on. Talk to me about how it's feeling. Qualifying for the ALGS Championships, there's no bigger tournament, and you guys qualified in first. Incredible.
03:33:50 um i mean it is you know actually just very unreal um feeling i mean i'm super emotional right now so i mean with the amount of like history i have in in competitive apex and not only that like the amount of uh hate that our team you know like we you know obviously we have our fans but like a lot of hate a lot of doubt that we had uh on our team a lot of people just thought we weren't going to do well um they just
03:34:19 Sie haben immer gesagt, dass wir Glück waren, dass wir nicht die größte Team da waren. Aber zu tun, dass wir das tun können und dass wir das Spiel deserve. Das ist ein unglaubliches Gefühl.
03:34:33 Well, firstly, I want to jump in and say congratulations once again, because I know when you win something like this, it's always good to hear it as many times as possible, just to kind of let it sink in. But I want to talk about that final game, because there was a couple of play calls we had the ability to jump into a listen-in, and we heard, I think it was designed for just telling everybody just to kind of play together. Don't overextend anywhere because of the fact that you were so close to closing things out. When you saw that zone pull back to you...
03:34:58 Was was the feeling between everyone? Because I think that was a little bit of a surprise for us to see that zone. Did you call it or was it like a, oh cool, the zones come to us?
03:35:07 So, um, usually, I mean, that, that zone for sure was just a crazy pull. Um, we actually usually would think that it ends towards like the blue, uh, blue bins or blue, blue pills or crates on the opposite side where the choke is. And usually we'll just like rotate from that side and then wipe everyone on our side and come in. Um, but that pole right there was just insane. Literally just God, God's zone for us. And I mean, right as soon as that happened, we just knew that like, it is like,
03:35:36 Das ist unser Spiel. Wir müssen das. Das ist wo wir ein paar KPIs bekommen, aber nicht nur das, wir müssen das. Meine zwei Team-Maten, sie haben zu Land schon gesehen. Die Nervs ist mir, das ist das erste Mal. Ich bin ein bisschen nervös für mich, aber die Leute sind einfach unglaublich. Ich glaube, ich kann nicht hier sein, ohne sie zu sein.
03:35:57 Now, throughout the winner's bracket, you guys were setting records. I mean, 139 points or whatever it was that you found yourselves. You had like 36 kills or something ridiculous, getting more kills than pretty much any other team was in their total. What changed from the winner's bracket to the final for you guys? Because it obviously wasn't as much of a stomp. Was it just you guys kind of sitting back and saying, okay, we need to play a little bit more smart. We can't afford to just be running it, everyone. Or was the lobby just a little bit more stacked, do you think?
03:36:26 Um, ich denke, es war, dass wir einfach zu den Unkönnen waren. Wir spielen Challenger Circuit, und wir haben sehr gut gemacht. Wir haben 2nd place. A lot unserer Strategie funktioniert, aber wir waren immer noch ein ganz neues Team, um sich zusammenzuhalten, um sich auf der gleichen Seite zu sein. Und dann, in meiner Meinung nach, die Scrims waren sehr poor-qualität. Es war wirklich schwer, um sich zu verstehen, was die competition sein wird.
03:36:55 Wenn wir in der ersten Zeit des LCQ waren, wir waren einfach, einfach, wir haben nicht vollständig gefühlt, wie wir eigentlich würden, als ob es ein Scrim war. Wir haben einfach gesagt, okay, wir haben 2nd. Ja, wir haben 2nd auf der ersten Zeit, und wir haben die nächsten Zeit, aber wir haben 3 Wins. Wir können das einfach nur das und dann...
03:37:20 Wir haben einen wirklich guten ersten Spiel, und wenn man einen guten ersten Spiel hat, deine Hoffnung schlägt. Und dann wir einfach weiter und weiter und weiter und weiter. Es war einfach unglaublich.
03:37:34 Ich glaube, es geht durch die Kiel-Feed.
03:38:03 Auf Wiedersehen. Auf Wiedersehen.
03:38:06 Um, we're definitely, like, paying attention to the killfeed. Of course, like, Stallions were on matchpoint. Fear was on matchpoint. So we have to really make sure that, you know, if we're, like, endgame zone, like, we have to, like, if we know both of them are alive, we have to focus them. You know, we have to make sure that they can't, you know, obviously win the match or the game's over, but also still playing our game and getting as much points as possible. But as soon as we saw both Stallions and Fear getting wiped,
03:38:35 Es war einfach, okay, wir haben zu gewinnen. Wir haben zu gewinnen. Und natürlich zu Quall, aber nicht nur das. Wenn wir nicht machen, dann können wir so viele Punkte geben. So dann können wir haben das Momentum für die nächste Spiel. Und wenn jemand anderes gewinnt, we würden 80 Punkte oder so.
03:38:55 You know, Timmy, I have a lot of things that I want to ask. You know, I've seen you perform at a pretty high level in a couple tournaments recently. And now here, I always comment on just the ability for you to somehow operate in this way that is very clear and concise. And it doesn't feel like the emotion is getting to you. But you mentioned yourself that.
03:39:14 There was some emotion and there was some nerves and it's a new thing maybe getting to that position where you're qualifying for LAN alongside Design and Enemy. I just want to give you a chance before we let you go to speak on anything that you're feeling, any process that you feel like you've overcome or just what that is about you that allows you to kind of step up in these big moments alongside your teammates.
03:39:38 Ich denke, dass ich viel als Spieler habe. Viele Leute sagten, dass ich ein schlechtes IGL war. Oder ein Pub-Star, Ranked Player, Inter. Alles, was man kann. Ich glaube, die Kommentare waren richtig. Ich habe ein schlechtes Entscheidungen gemacht. Aber ich fühle mich, dass die Leute nicht genug verdient haben.
03:40:05 Ich habe das viel Arbeit gemacht, in den letzten Zeiten. Und wenn ich besser bin, sie immer noch immer wieder sieht mich als das. Und, you know, ich habe Design-Co-IGL, und ich habe mich ein paar Info und ein paar Ideen, weil er ist natürlich ein IGL für die letzten Jahre, aber nicht nur das, aber auch die Zonen-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone!
03:40:33 Wenn ein Team uns ist, dann würde das Team nicht funktionieren. Ich denke, die zwei sind sehr großartig. Und sie sind sehr großartig. Sie wissen, dass es zu sagen, was es zu sagen, was es zu sagen. Und wenn du hier in der L.C.Q., ich denke, das wird enden ein Bunches Debate auf, ob du da bist. Congratulations, Timmy, zu dir. Design & Enemy. Und danke für die Zeit mit uns hier auf dem Broadcast, man.
03:41:02 Natürlich, vielen Dank.
03:41:04 All right, it's Timmy here, coming from the dojo, which I have to remind you guys again, I built when I was young, you know, not by myself. I raised my hand, by the way, I had one thing to say, and then we jumped in. I just want to say congratulations, of course, but I'm really excited because the whole crowd, once again, gets to go, Du! Which I cannot wait for, man. It's going to be so good to have Dupe back on LAN, and I'm sure that everyone's warming their lungs up right now, because they're going to be, I'm looking forward to the Dupe chants.
03:41:33 You know, I'm excited for that, too. I'm glad you had that queued up. We could have coordinated. I have a GoXL over here, too. I want to see if, you know, we can bring in our fourth, who has been phenomenal all day as well, alongside the three of us, to finish this one out. I know that she's on the way soon. But, you know, Dan, I guess as we kind of close out, it was great to spend some time with Timmy because from being doubted to...
03:41:59 Ja, und es ist großartig zu sehen, und zu hören, was es wie es.
03:42:16 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
03:42:45 Das ist alles wert, wenn man zu landen, wenn man das größte, weil wir wissen, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist,
03:43:06 Well, there's always next time. We'll talk about that after, of course, September has come to a close. But right now, let's talk about something that has led us to September in a very strong way. You'll see what I mean in just a moment, because, of course, it's time for WD Black's What's in Your Pack.
03:43:22 All right, I say this this way, guys, because this weapon in particular has been a mainstay, leading every team to a chance at championships. If you don't know how to use it, well, you're missing out. So Mark, talk to me about the Prowler. My second favorite gun in the game. I actually talked a little bit earlier. Yeah, I play on Roller, my friends. Don't worry about it. But this gun has always been one of my favorites as well. And I felt like it was a little bit slept on. It only really came to prominence when they went back into the care package and people were picking the Prowler up and going, hey, this thing still shreds.
03:43:51 Und das ist schon so viel zu tun, in diese Close-Range Encounters zu tun. Und das was ich wirklich liebte über den Prowler, ist es, dass die Bursch-Firme, in der Medium-Range ist, dass du wirklich, wenn du mit jedem Bursch-Firmen kannst, mit jeder Bursch-Firmen kannst, kann man wirklich wirklich, mit jeder Bursch-Firmen, einen Clip, das immer zu mir ist, war von der ersten Spiel-Firmen, der Spiel-Two-Play-Off. Verholz, in der End-Game, auf die Zone mit einem Digi-Threat. Und ich glaube, er hat einen 3-Bursch-Firmen. Er hat einen Full-Shield. Ich glaube, es war ein Effekt, er hat ihn versucht, und er weiß,
03:44:21 Dan?
03:44:44 Also, I'm on board with the Auto Train. Me too. Also, Burst Fire Prowler. I mean, I play other FPSs. It reminds me of certain other guns, so I like using it at times. And I'm sure it's the same for others who have transitioned from one game to another. It just fits right. It feels right in Apex Legends. And in the right hands, it can win championships, maybe. We'll have to see whether it can be the gun that makes the difference when we get to Birmingham.
03:45:09 I don't know. I feel like a new season coming up before then. I feel like we might see the R9 back out of the care package. We'll have to wait and see. But the Prowler is certainly a mainstay, at least for now, in Apex Legends Competitive. That's been WD Blacks. What's in your pack? All right. And back with us, it's Vicky!
03:45:30 was good you guys are such lovely people wait this way you guys are such lovely people I was too busy spamming and dupes chat I was saying congratulations to everybody it took me some time and then I hear you guys talking about the select fire and I'm just like man that's how you know I would be onset in a 1v1 I don't use a select fire that burst does more damage that's what's up all right I'll say you heard it here first we're inspired now after Timmy's words bring that controller to champs that's all I'm saying I do not back down from a challenge in the firing range that's what I'm saying
03:45:59 Guys, we don't need any more clips for Vicky to show all of us at Champs, okay? We won't even be on set. It's 45 minutes with the clips she already has. We can't add more, Mark. Dan, I'll lead with you. Final thoughts on the day. Big day, EMEA and NALCQs. Wrap it up for us. I think that if the 1v1 with Vicky and Mark was played online, Vicky would win online. I'm backing Mark every day of the week. That man does some serious damage.
03:46:29 Vicky got back, the duo. Dan's calling you an online warrior here, Vicky. I don't know where that's coming from. He's already your duo, Dan. Jeez. An amazing LCQ. North America never disappoints. I think that the six players who qualify deserve to be there for loads of different reasons, but mainly they played very well today. And two teams that I think could really shake things up when we get to champs and could not just, you know...
03:46:53 Just qualify and be a team that's at champs, but could probably make a difference and even make a finals lobby with a bit of practice and just finding a little bit of form at the right time. So keep an eye on these two LCQ teams. Well, you know, Mark, you know, your duo backs you up here, but do you back him up in his sentiments closing out today?
03:47:12 I do. Whenever anyone says you want to agree with Dan, there's always that part of my chaos in my head that goes, do I? Just for the sake of it. But no, I think Dan summed it up. But my takeaway from today is we have two teams with six different players, with six great humans who all have fantastic stories that are history throughout Apex Legends.
03:47:29 I'm super happy for every single one of the players that they get the opportunity to do it at the ALGS Championships. That's the diamond, right, that everyone wants to be a part of. That's the crown jewel, whatever you want to call it in the Apex Legends calendar. It's the biggest tournament of the year. It's a huge celebration of Apex Legends. And I think those six people, those six characters with everything that they've went through over the last couple of years deserve to be there. So I'm fortunate for the people who have to miss out this time around. There will be another one, of course, we hope.
03:47:55 LGS Championships. It feels like it's getting closer by the day. I don't know if it's something that they can value, but I would show up. I would just show up. Even if you didn't make it, just to be in the atmosphere, it's definitely something that you can get excited about and will be inspired from. But Vicky, before we close out, you came back on the broadcast with a four box for us. So give us your final thoughts before we head out.
03:48:17 First off, I'm so happy to see some of these returning faces make their way into the scene and even seeing the likes of Timmy. He's been able to perform in a competitive environment, but this is the furthest we've ever been able to see him compete in the ALGS. Truly, Timothy is Himothy, and he is going to be there. And it's nice to also see Duke make his way back as well with the rest of the squad, Cenox and Lou. Fury, we're right there. Again, like you guys mentioned, just to wrap the bow on top. It's an amazing experience. Highly recommend everyone to have that experience to check it out.
03:48:47 It's going to be a good time. Surrounded by Apex and good vibes and good squads. What more can you ask for in that case? Especially if you get to see the 1v1 play out. You know what? The energy in person is different. You can't keep that energy online when we're here in person. So I want to see this from our competitors. Got to bring it all out.
03:49:06 To be fair, there's been a lot of 1v1 challenges in the green room from Vicky to other players, to Vicky as well. So I have a feeling that no matter what, you will see Vicky in a 1v1 in some capacity if you do join us at LAN. Hey, all of you, my friends, colleagues, thank you so much for everything you've done today. Go rest up. We're going to close the show out, but I appreciate you. Great calls, Mark, Vicky, and...
03:49:30 All right, ladies and gentlemen, you know how it is. When we get to Champs and we start talking about the biggest tournament of the year, it means that you should be there in September. The dates are locked and set September 6th through 10th. We will be at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, UK, London. You ever been there? Yeah, I've been there actually a couple of times this year. I'm excited to go back one more. It's starting to feel like home away from home. You can get your tickets.
03:49:56 I can't believe I attempted that live, but it worked out in my favor. If you need more details or you're more of a mobile person and you're not ready to go and buy them now, go to Play Apex Esports on Twitter and you can go and get all of the details for it, ladies and gentlemen.
03:50:16 What a journey. We have seen teams and players build themselves up from almost nothing, feeling like they were not a part of that ALGS journey, having to miss out on split two playoffs, now qualifying for the biggest event of the year. It is all coming to an end in September, and so you must mark it on your calendars. I will be there. Everyone you saw today will be there, and we will put on the best show the ALGS has ever seen. Mark our words.
03:50:45 Thank you so much for being a part of this community. Thank you, production. Everyone behind the scenes coordinating this. All of our players, you have been valiant. We appreciate you. And if you're not at Champs, we will see you in year four, I'm sure. But for now, we're going to sign off because it has been the last show before we are crowning a champion in the UK. My name's Rain Day. Remember to never give up, never stop gaming. We'll see you at Champs, baby!
