Vorstellung der Regional Finals und Teams

00:10:01

00:10:01 On a scale of 1 decaffeinated, how fueled are you today heading in today's matches? See, that's a loaded question, because I don't actually drink coffee, but I did have a cup of tea this morning, so... I'll drink enough for you. Semi-caffeinated, at least as far as I'm concerned, it's about as 100% caffeinated as I can possibly be.

00:10:16 Doesn't get much higher than that for me. So yeah, one cup of tea, that'll do me. That's all good. That's it. I'm a little bit jealous. I know Genome's probably caffeinated like I am too. But you know what? We finally made it, Genome. Five weeks of the group stages. And we are now here in the regional finals. Are you excited to find out who will be making LAN? Oh, I'm so excited, Lace. I mean, you know, once upon a time, we didn't get to see this, right? You didn't even get the best 20 teams in the lobby.

00:10:42 During these splits, and I think it's been a great addition to the split and the schedule in ALGS ever since it was introduced. You know, it's that awesome end to the season where all the best teams get together and you get the highest skilled lobbies that Apex South has seen.

00:10:57 Exactly. Just looking at the schedule now, I feel like we've just blinked and we're now in the regional finals. I know the days go long for us playing sometimes 12 matches, but I do feel like this whole split one has just been a blink of an eye. So it's been absolutely amazing. But you know what? We're finally here. We finally made it. And you know what? We're going to go and head into the production. But at the end of the day, what are all these teams sort of playing for?

00:11:24 But it's, of course, to make it to land. That's what we're going to be keeping our eyes on today. But, you know, etched in the back of their minds is some dollar signs. You know, that's on the horizon. It's about $125,000.

00:11:38 But USD spread across the teams, a massive $20,000 going to first place. And even if we look at the teams there at 21st and 30th, they'll be walking away with some money as well. So it's an absolute great achievement just for our players to be here. And of course, very exciting as they walk away with some money too. However, fame and fortune doesn't come easy. The teams will need to dominate, collecting as many points as possible. And here is how the match point scoring will work.

00:12:07 Vielen Dank.

00:12:34 Sorry, did you just say that's all? I say it's that's all. As if getting to match point and then winning a point in the hardest lobby in the region is that easy. Alright, well, okay. Look, Laces showed up next split apparently to take it all out. That's what I'm hearing here. But yeah, no, it's the most hype format you can have in Apex Legends esports, right? You know, you've got to play well to get above that threshold and then you have to be able to clinch it to take it out.

00:13:03 Exactly. Our teams have to be on their A-game. Of course, we've got teams that will take out the win as well. Like I said, it's straight through to Lamb, but we also have to keep a close eye on the teams that will take the rest of the spots, which after that we have about seven spots. It's tricky as is, but you know what? Let's take a look at our scoreboard. Let's have a look at who's playing today, and hopefully we can give a little bit of a further breakdown for you how Matchpoint works. But having a look at these teams here, we've got...

00:13:33 I know it's Legends Gaming up there at the top. Elfish, Boogie Boarder's in third at the moment. There's got to be a little bit of a tight race. Yeah, there's a few teams that are pretty safe. There's a few teams that are going to have to do a fair chunk of work. And there's also a few teams that basically have to win this lobby if they want to make it through to LAN.

00:13:51 In saying that as well, it's also important to mention that there are a couple of teams that are basically locked in. That would be Wonton Dumpling and Legends Gaming based on their regular season performance. It's basically impossible for them to fall outside of the top 8. So congratulations to them. Doesn't necessarily matter how they go today. But of course, you know, there's money involved, there's prize money and stuff like that. So you'd want to be kind of keeping as much.

00:14:10 auf den Gass, als du in dieser Final Lobby kannst. Du wirst nicht unbedingt auf den Läurel sein. Und du musst auch daran erinnern, dass dieses wird eigentlich dein Best Practice in den internationalen competitions. Das ist, wie ich gesagt, das beste Lobby wird aus diesem Jahr von APAC-South. So ein paar Work zu tun, natürlich, auf der Top-End für Teams wie Wonton Dumpling, Legends Gaming, Thinking Forward. Aber auch für Teams, wie Boogie Boarders, Tom Yum-Kung. Sie sind auf das Kasp. Sie sind definitiv Teams, dass wir es zu machen, und es dauert,

00:14:40 Ja, genau richtig. Wir haben Team Boogieboarders all den Weg zu X, Y und 13th Place, die wirklich brauchen, dass sie sich zusammenarbeiten, um die Series-Points zu halten, um die Bracket zu halten. Aber wir gehen noch mehr über unsere Teams. So, ihr wisst, Elfish, welche Team sind du nicht die Caster's Curse heute?

00:15:03 Ja, sicherlich nicht. Dreamfyre war mein Pick hier zu sprechen, um heute zu reden. Denn ich denke, für mich, Dreamfyre ist immer ein ganzes Team mit einem starken Wettbewerb. Und ich war ein bisschen worried, um sie zu Beginn zu haben. Ich dachte, dass die ersten zwei Lobbys sind ziemlich schlecht. Die ersten zwei Lobbys waren schlecht. 16th und 15th Plätze, respectively. Und ich dachte, ist das die Ende des einem einen tollen Wettbewerb? Aber als wir sie durch die Wettbewerb gehen, sie wurden besser und besser. Sie hatten eine 6th, eine 4th, eine 7th und eine 1st. Und die wichtigste Sache ist, dass das...

00:15:33 ist, dass sie auf der Backend sind, und wir haben ein Bild von der Lobby gewonnen. Es war das letzte Lobby, der Regular Season gewonnen hat. Und ich sage dir, es ist keine bessere Zeit zu bewegen, als jetzt. Und ich sage dir, sie waren auch sehr gut für sieben, in der Final Lobby. Nicht nur nur für sieben, dass sie sich in eine Position, wo sie gut sind, aber sie haben auch gewonnen, dass sie der Season alive ist. Weil die Season war, es war ziemlich rough.

00:16:02 They got those 25 points out of last week, and that shot them right back up into the top 8. Now they're in quite a comfortable position today, where they don't necessarily need to, for example, win this lobby.

00:16:11 Which might have been the case had they not performed last week. So they've done enough work last week to make things a little bit easier. But still a lot of work to be done obviously going into today. And just ensuring that they at least have a decent day today. That they can keep those scoreboard ticking over and get their spot at LAN. Yeah, exactly right. I know Genome was having a look at Dreamfire right at the start of this split. And we were a little bit worried for them. So I definitely agree with you there Elfish. But yeah, they brought it home which has been absolutely incredible. But you know what, the one team that I want to talk about. I'm going to ride the wave once again into the action.

00:16:40 And it's one of our Australian teams. And it's the Boogie Boarders. This team is not new to LAN. They've been on the main stage. They've been in the pressure cooker. So they know that they definitely have what it takes to make it through. And who make up this powerhouse of a team? Well, it's none other than Rakibassi and Panna. I know that this team traditionally plays at a Mirage and Command Center on Storm Point. You know, we've seen an exceptional start to Pro League with the Boogie Boarders. They were the winners of the first round.

00:17:09 in Groups A versus B. They did drop down to about an 11th the second week, but turned it around quickly and went back up to about a third place. Following that, they always show consistency, always being one of the top performing teams. And after following this team closely over Split 1, they seem to have a bit of a slower start in the first few matches. When they play on World's Edge coming from Mirage, they always seem to have one of the furthest rotates because

00:17:39 We've seen a couple of zones pulled to overlook, so sometimes this can kind of take them out. But don't let that fool you, because once, you know, they pick up the pace, they'll be able to collect KP and they'll turn into a deadly, unstoppable team. So, you know what, I have full faith in them. They're sitting about third place now, so they're definitely contenders for LAN. But, Gino, you know, we've had five weeks of exhilarating passion from our Apex South teams. Who do you have your sights set on?

00:18:04 I'm going to talk about X and Y today. This team started off the season in shocking fashion, right? I think they were a duo in the first week. I can't remember why, but it meant that they picked up essentially no points, but then they bounced back with a win the very next week. And since then, it's been a bit middle of the road for them. So they kind of made the job very hard for themselves with that week one. But I've been really impressed with what we've seen beyond that. And now that we've moved into season 20, X and Y being...

00:18:33 Ich glaube, es ist ein Team mit, in meiner Meinung nach, einem der besten Coaches in der Region, in Jury's. Ich denke, das gibt es einen großen Vorteil, um in Season 20 zu kommen, weil wir nicht mehr Coaches haben hier in unserer Region. Und, you know, mit der Arbeit zu arbeiten, da ist so viel die Teams haben zu verändern.

00:18:52 um going into this new season and i think that's allowed them to adapt a little bit faster than some of the other teams and i think that might just get them over the edge with a good performance here in this final game

00:19:06 Yeah, exactly right. You know, they did have a tricky start in one of our blessed little duos. But yeah, as you said, turned it around completely, which has been absolutely incredible to see. They've definitely been a fun team to watch. Now, what we're going to have a look at is exactly how everything's going to run today. We have the same maps. We're still following with World's Edge and Storm Point. But as you can see, we're going to start two matches on World's Edge. Then we're going to flip the switch and we're going to go to Storm Point for match three, four, and then back again for match five, six.

Änderungen der Landeplätze und Team-Analysen

00:19:36

00:19:36 Will do. As you can see here, things have changed up. It's the Regional Finals. It's not the groups that these teams had been.

00:20:00 um you know playing in for the rest of the split and so they have to start worrying uh about where they're landing obviously the stronger teams get to uh you know keep their landing spots um you know where they're comfortable in lightning unicorn there's one that's uh no they're not going to be super comfortable they're um having to switch over to fragment team burger who played very well from trials and skyhook

00:20:23 in some weeks, have actually had to move over to Skyhook East. Had a quick chat to Pricey about it. He said he doesn't think this POI is as bad as it was now that we've taken Armour's out of the map pool. So it's a little bit better than it was pre-season 20. Maybe not still the best. Then you've got teams like Boogie Boarders and Dreamfire playing from Lava Fissure and Countdown. These guys know these POIs so well. They've been landing at them for literally

00:20:51 Wonton Dumpling in a powerhouse coming from Thermal Station. That has a POI that's seen some very strong teams in APAC South over the years. And obviously Wonton Dumpling being no exception with their domination of APAC South so far. Legends will start in Syphon. You know, there's been some discussion about...

00:21:14 ist Siphon wirklich wie ein S-T-A-P-Y? Mit diesen Veränderungen zu kommen, andere Teams wie X und Y vielleicht vielleicht vielleicht sogar besser auf auf den Launch Sites. Aber ja, das ist die Beacon, wo diese Teams werden, so far heute sind, auf dem World's Edge.

00:21:35 Yeah, exactly right. We talk about, we used to have high tier spots to land and that was definitely when purple shields and blue shields you could pick up.

00:21:45 Droff Genome, but as we've had Season 20 changes, sometimes that doesn't matter as much. Some of these POIs are still going to be fundamental due to, I guess, lots of stacks of guns in it, ammo and etc. So, you know, it's still going to be vital for this, but I feel like it makes it a little bit more of an even playing field, Elfish.

00:22:05 Ja, definitiv. Ich meine, ich denke, dass jetzt alle jetzt schon wieder zu diesem Punkt sind, dass sie sich ziemlich komfortablet haben. Und es ist natürlich ein guter Punkt für uns jetzt zu haben, die Finals zu haben. Wir würden die Finals zu haben, die Finals zu haben. Wir würden die Finals zu haben, die ersten Games zurückgehen. Aber jetzt haben wir, was, es ist schon seit drei, vier Wochen, schon fast, dass das Patch drop ist. Und sie haben viel Zeit zu haben, zu haben. So es ist gut, von meinem Perspektiv. Ich denke, dass die meisten Teams sind bereit, mit dem sie bereit sind, zu gehen und zu diesem Lobby mit.

00:22:34 Ich habe ihn mit dem Match Test gemacht, das auch letzte Woche. Das hat sich wohl versucht, dass sie bereit sind. Das ist genau das, was ihr braucht, denn jeder muss in Fighting Fitness sein, heute.

00:22:43 Das ist es, ja. Niemand kann sich auf heute schlafen, und Sie müssen alle einzelnen matchen. Also, wir sehen uns, dass wir die Scoreboarden sind, und wir sehen, wie wir alle sind in unsere Series Points hier sind. Wir haben auf die Match Point und wie das funktioniert. Elfish hat gesagt, Wonton Dumpling und Legends Gaming. Wir haben eine Ticket durchgeführt. Was wir wollen, wir sehen uns, Boogie Board ist in 3rd place, all den Weg zu über X, Y und 13th Genome. Diese Teams wirklich brauchen ihre A-Games, so sie können...

00:23:10 ...either push their way into that top 8 slots. And then of course we've got teams that can get the match point eligibility and then the match point win. Yeah, of course. That is a very good summation of where the standings are, Lace. Yeah, I mean, you know, SWQ. Could they take out the win? Yeah, I absolutely believe it. You know, definitely an outside chance. But any of those teams in the top 20 do have a chance to make it.

00:23:36 Over to LAN. Of course, if we do get one of our powerhouses winning, say like, you know, let's say Wanton Dumpling, probably the odds on favorite to take it out, then it just goes to the next seven teams. So, you know, if Wanton Dumpling are already qualified, which they are, them and Legends Gaming, mathematically impossible for them to jump out of that top eight. It'll just go down from there and we'll just grab, you know, the top eight to take overseas.

00:24:02 Ja, genau. Und ich möchte eine Frage zu Elfish und dann zu Eugenio. So Elfish, ob wir hier ein bisschen ein Scouting reporten haben, aber ob wir jetzt ein paar Teams hier haben, ob wir jetzt ein bisschen ein Scouting reporten haben, aber ob wir jetzt noch ein paar Teams haben, ob wir jetzt noch ein paar Teams haben, ob wir jetzt noch ein paar Games machen können? Ich meine, das ist ein bisschen schwierig zu machen. Ich meine, das ist ein bisschen schwierig.

00:24:29 ... ... ... ... ...

00:24:49 Or, realistically, maybe four is about the fastest you're going to get tonight. To anywhere up to, I think, 13 is the record that we saw, which was in APAC North back in the day. So, there's a huge range. I would say we're probably looking at somewhere around the 7-8 mark as being kind of the average for when that match point will actually be confirmed. But, obviously, you know, we'll have to sort of wait and see how things go. Sometimes one team just pops off on a day like today. We saw that back in...

00:25:17 Ich glaube, das war das Spiel von Apex Legends. Das war das Spiel von Moist.

00:25:43 Yeah, I absolutely love that. Obviously, Gino, you know, we just saw, was it APAC North? Four games, right? So, that was something absolutely crazy. You know, do you think X and Y could do this? Or what team do you think, you know, might be able to get that match point immediately? And how many games? Look, I think one of the reasons I put X and Y there was because I think they can make it into the top eight. Do I think they'll win the match point today? Oh, yeah, not sure I'd be putting my neck on the line for that one.

00:26:10 Uh, you know, if I'm making a guess, honestly, I'm probably saying wonton dumpling in six is, uh, is what I'd go for. I think, um, Gugu is the best, uh, or...

00:26:23 Ich würde sagen, Bess, weil ich glaube, das bringt in Gespräche über IGLs und die andere Dinge, die man bringt zu dem Team. Aber die meisten, die meisten gefährden, die meisten gefährden, die meisten gefährden, die meisten gefährden in Apex South, ich würde sagen, ist Gugu on the Roller von Wonton Dumpling. So, das ist die kind of...

00:26:44 Das ist das Feuer-Pauw-You-Need um, um, just blast through a final Lobby hier. Und ich denke Wonton, uh, you know, despite some detractors and people saying, you know, they didn't have the macro, um, to pull through, I've continued to pull ahead of the pack here in Apex South, and I think they've got a chance to, um, to really, to really take it out and cement that first place finish.

00:27:03 Yeah, exactly right. You know, we're obviously going to be having a look who's going to sit above that bracket. But yeah, we just can't take out Wanton Dumpling and Legends Gaming. They're sitting at the top there. There's still going to be, you know, huge contenders going into that, you know, so they could still potentially get that eligibility for match point quite quickly. Like you said, Gina, you know, we've seen Wanton Dumpling absolutely steamroll everybody in their path.

00:27:29 Und winning on top of that. So, um, they're definitely very, you know, I wouldn't say kill hungry. That's what you kind of want to do at Apex Legends, but, uh, you know, they definitely like to pick up KP along the way. So they, I do have, you know, a large feeling that they might be the ones to get to match point first, um, shortly, you know, followed by Legends Gaming, obviously our two top contenders there. Um, but of course, you know, I, I just have high hopes for the boogie boarders. I did sort of touch on that they.

00:27:54 They do start a little bit slow on World's Edge. But, you know, it's crunch time. They're third place at the moment. They want to stick up against that. If you look at, you know, Tom Young-kun, Team Berger are only six, three points away. So it's very close. But you know what? This is the regional finals. We are here to bring you the hype in the Apex South. Let's head over to World's Edge for Match 1.

00:28:18 Oh, yes, let's get into it. It is one of how many? We don't know. There could be 14, 15 games tonight. Let's go. That would be an interesting night, that's for sure. And we might be well into the early hours of tomorrow morning. But of course, it is the APAC South Regional Final. And we've got eight spots to give away at LAN. So every team is going to be running and gunning as best as they possibly can coming into this one. And look, one thing that I wanted to highlight there as well, which I don't know that we talked about too much.

Spielbeginn und Teamzusammensetzungen

00:28:46

00:28:46 ist, wie tief es wirklich in der Mitte der Pack ist. Ich meine, Dreamfire hat 77 points. Du gehst all den Weg in 6th place, down zu 13th, das ist X und Y. Und es ist nur ein 5-point gap. So, you know, du look at Dreamfire und sagst, dass sie in 6th place sind. Sie sollten sich sehr comfortable sein, aber die Realität ist, dass es nur ein halb-decentes Spiel ist. Und wenn du einfach nur ein halb-decentes Spiel hast, dann bist du außerhalb der Cut-Off.

00:29:13 Wow, look at that 100% Bangalore pick rate. There is not a lot of variety in our lobby right now. Teams have been using that regular split, regular season split, to experiment. And it feels like now that the, you know, it's the really important time of the season, right? The chips are on the table here. You can't take them back. You know, teams are sticking with the tried and true. That's what we're seeing here. So much blood, bang.

00:29:41 A sprinkling of Watson, Crypto, and even one Lifeline pick for MDY Black, which I'm very excited about. We certainly saw a lot of that in the EMEA region this morning, and it's always fun to have on board. It's very interesting to see going week to week how things kind of change up, and what I would say is I feel like just having a quick look at that, it does seem to me that there is...

00:30:10 oder ist es, weil...

00:30:34 ...teams haben ein bisschen mehr Zeit zu wissen, was sie gut sind. Und sie haben auch das Gefühl, dass sie das Problem haben. Obviamente, wie du gesagt, es gibt viele, die etwas etwas ein bisschen anders sind. Aber ja, es ist interessant, zu sehen, wie das, wie das, von Woche zu Woche geht. Und es hat nur seit drei Tagen, seit dem letzten Playday. Aber es fühlt sich so, wie es ein bisschen mehr dominiert ist, bei das eine Composition.

00:30:55 Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, aber es ist auch schon early, also kann man sich nicht mehr davon aussehen. Und ich mag es, als eine Composition. Ich fühle mich, dass es viel Sinn macht. Es ist natürlich das, was ich in dieser Position wäre, wenn ich in dieser Position wäre. So, no complaints von mir zu sehen, dass es die Vastmajorität auf das Setup ist.

00:31:11 Lots of discussions to have about that, I'm sure we will have through the day. Just to touch on the circle that we saw there before, it does seem to be heading down towards launch site, X and Y. Of course, we're sitting here on them because they start at launch site, so they get to take one of these very premium positions over here, overlooking the front, which gives them options depending on whether it sort of pulls further towards Siphon or down towards launch site itself. Also, I guess it should be noted, you know, you have...

00:31:40 Strafing Flame & Co, right here, getting into the action straight away against MDYY. They weren't sure where to go because they didn't get a ring console this game, so they've been just having to watch the other teams around them. It looked like they were thinking about going down towards XMY & Co at launch, but in the end they stick around and they'll be rewarded with some KP for that.

00:32:06 Ja, ich habe zu denken über das, in der Kontext hier für Legends Gaming, dass jeder Punkt ist, und sie haben bereits Strafing Flames verloren, also wird das 3d-Party durchgeführt werden, die SWQ verhängt, um M.P.Y., um Probleme zu haben, und das fuhren die Attentionen von EZ-Flash, und so es wird ein bisschen mehr aufwärts hier für Legends, als sie in der fighten gegen M.D.Y., das war...

00:32:30 Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr einfaches Setup, aber eigentlich ist es ein bisschen größer Problem für Legends Gaming, denn nicht nur sind sie jetzt ein Spieler, sondern sie sind auch ein Sammwitz zwischen ein paar Teams. Also, wenn sie dieses Duell gewinnen, ich weiß nicht, dass sie hier rauskommen sind, und das wäre ein Schocker für Legends Gaming, weil sie ein Frontrunners waren. Und wie Sie hier sehen, ist es nur Player K.

00:32:51 Das ist so rough. Aber das ist wie Apex spielt manchmal. Du musst in die verschiedenen Situationen werden, als wir die Information haben, die die Konsole getrennt.

00:33:20 Safely and surely in the knowledge of where the ring is heading.

00:33:31 Well SWQ will be pretty happy with the proceedings because they obviously just able to take up residence in Lava Siphon and have a couple of, this is a loot out of some of those boxes, get the info off of the limited consoles and continue their way forward relatively unhindered. Going gaming, bringing a member there to Warmonster Firebird. So it started to kick off relatively early. You can kind of get a bit of a sense that maybe this lobby is going to be a little more tightly contested than what we would have expected.

00:33:59 A lot of early engagements. And I also think that part of that is just because of the nature of Beast when it comes to this zone. You've got a lot of teams that need to come down, obviously, from the northern side. And there's only so many choke points that they can go through. So I'm bumping shoulders, running into each other.

Frühe Kämpfe und Rotationen

00:34:16

00:34:16 So, yeah, unfortunately for Boogie Boarders, they are one of those teams that suffered a loss. Yeah, look, there's a lot of teams, you know, taking a casualty on the way in, just as a little update. Legends Gaming went back to Geyser, where they have actually managed to respawn the teams in. Unfortunately, of course, that's not going to be happening for Boogie Boarders, as they get taken out completely here. Warm up to Firebird, and who was that? Once on Dumpling, combining them to finish that one off.

00:34:47 Oh, they've got to worry about this, though. Serenity actually coming through the Geyser Choke. They've noticed this. They can see the smoke there. They know that they're crafting nearby. So definitely Serenity could potentially get the drop on Legends here as they pop into Geyser and take up position. I don't think Legends have stopped with Gas yet. They're making their way across now, but I don't even know if Serenity...

00:35:14 Oh, well, they're going to get in front of Legends. I don't know if they're necessarily too eager for the fight at the moment. It looks like they're kind of more interested in going well on their way. And I don't necessarily disagree. But either way, these teams, I guess they're focusing on the long game, right? It's still pretty early days. You may see that strategic thinking change up as teams start to get a little bit closer to the match point. So, you know, if you're on 45 points going into a game, you might be a little bit more inclined to just take some early fights.

00:35:43 ... ... ... ... ...

00:36:07 Uh, Legends Gaming back into the ring and potentially pick up some KP. There was even an Evo Harvester down there that they could have grabbed. Um, instead of doing all that, they just, they, uh, they continue on into a very uncertain future. I, yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure I agree with that decision. Well, either way, we'll get to see whether or not it was going to be worth it for Serenity. If they can, you know, go on to potentially win this game, then I guess who are we to question the method? But obviously, you know, with that, you kind of need some results to actually...

00:36:36 ...weather or not it was worth it. Either way, we'll take a departure away from that one and talk about one of my favorite teams, which is Greenfire. They've set themselves up sort of halfway into the next ring. They are kind of using that as, I guess, a bit of an information-gathering platform, and they'll look to move further forward in just a moment. They don't have zone knowledge. Yeah. I think that's one of the big reasons why they're over there. Obviously, they didn't get the ring console down at Countdown, so I think they've kind of hedged their bets to sit.

00:37:05 Uh, up there, thinking, you know, it could potentially pull back there, which it definitely does sometimes. Um, but unfortunately, yeah, they're not able to, uh, um, to, to see that it's definitely gonna pull more south of where they are right now. It's a bit of an interesting zone, isn't it? It's not one that we've seen we can mount this season, but it wants to firebird. I want to get into the thicker things by the looks of it. So the hunt was popped.

00:37:35 Ja, es sieht aus, dass sie sich hier aufhören. Drainfire wird eigentlich in den Krieg mit Lightning Unicorn geschehen. Um, ein paar von diesen Seams sind in den buildings, uh, hier ist es. Sie sehen, sie sind einfach nur die Pressure über hier. Aber ein paar Ultimates sind auf der Brücke und Drainfire haben tatsächlich geschehen. So, Lightning Unicorn schafft sie aus der Position, uh, bei allen drei der Ultimates.

00:38:00 Ich denke, das ist fair genug für Dreamfire. Es ist ein bisschen ein Push-N-Pull-Gamer zu diesem Zeitpunkt. Und sie waren da schon ein paar Zeit, so... Wenn sie sich in der Scouting beherrachten würden, ob wir hier sind, wo wir gehen können, wo wir gehen können? Was sind wir sicher? Und Sie sehen, dass sie sehr schnell die Entscheidung gemacht haben. Es war keine Sorge, dass sie das Gefühl haben. Es war keine Sorge, dass sie das Gefühl haben.

00:38:17 Drop off their position, move further forward. They move into the next position, and that's fine. I think that's a good choice from Dreamfire. Lightning and Unicorn knew that they had to take a position inside the zone, so it's also okay for them to be dumping their ultimates like that to take positioning. And you know what, Elfish? It might work out for them, because when we look at this next ring position, it continues to pull towards launch site. Dreamfire, I don't know if the balloon sort of south of where their position is is safe to take.

00:38:45 um, aber wenn sie weiter gehen, um, nach der SOUTH WEST SIDE, um, dann werden sie vielleicht in den Warnsack gehen, um, dann werden sie eine halb-decenten Warnsack gehen. KPG, um, das Kampf mit, uh, dem und Warnwunster Firebird wurde, um, dann kam, um, dann kam, um, dann wurde der Warnwunster Firebird, um, dann wurde der Warnwunster Firebird, um, dann wurde ein, um, langer Casualty. Dienberg, um, das ist ziemlich hart hier. Preis ist sehr hoch, und...

00:39:11 Scharki, wo ist Scharki? Er hat sich ein bisschen kracken. Es sieht aus wie es okay hier für Team Berger, weil er es dann auch schon fertig ist. Es ist ein bisschen chaotisch all über die Welt, eigentlich. Er hat noch 18 Teams alive, so vieles zu tun ist, aber ich fühle mich ein paar Teams sind sehr healthy, an der Moment ist ein paar kleine Skirmaschen zu gehen.

00:39:35 No big commitments necessarily here and there, but we're listening and ready for Serenity so we'll see what they're up to and hear how they're going heading into game number one. Danny, I'm back. Kapanoam walks up. We need to play for the fucking, like, down here. Yeah. We can't let anyone play. Evac anyone up. Yeah. Let him evac. This shit's lost guy. Yeah, yeah. I'm grabbing nades. I can't see him. Am she lost guy? Yep. He's dead anymore.

00:40:03 Es ist gut, er will die, er will die. Bats her, Bats her. We have to be careful, no one comes from our right side. That building is a big threat when we play the Detrick, okay? Careful here. I'm just waiting to make sure no one is coming from my building. We're good. There was a team that flew down here. People are fighting over here. Okay, okay.

00:40:32 Okay, so Buggy and Code, they're discussing how to make those next rotations. Obviously, it was some nice shots onto the guy on the evac tower here, but all of a sudden, the ground is disappearing underneath their feet. Everyone up the top here in Siphon is going to have to move into launch site, and with that next circle having so much of it, essentially, in the mountains, there's not a lot of room for these teams.

00:40:58 Oh, Tom Yum-Kung, wir haben nicht zu viel über sie heute gesehen, aber sie werden auch ein Faktor in dieser Lobby. 3 Punkte bereits auf dem Board, aber das wird auch so weit wie es geht, denn Zeke ist es nicht so gut, dass es nicht so gut aus dem Weg zu kommen. Und Akuma wird ein sehr guter Platz geben, und Akuma wird ein sehr guter Platz geben. Sie haben nur die Blu-Shield, also müssen sie arbeiten. Wir werden jetzt über den X und Yen gehen, und die Boi Springfire eliminiert in 13th Place, also nicht ein guter Start für den Tag für sie.

00:41:25 But your fellas, your lads, you picked them, X and Y, topping the lobby at the moment. Indeed, five points. Obviously, you know, they're getting a home circle here. That is a big deal. But being able to convert from that is a skill just like anything else in competitive Apex. And X and Y are doing that.

00:41:41 At the moment they you know when you get one of those circles cuz you probably only gonna get one in your entire series if any You have to absolutely make that count on the scoreboard. I mean we saw You know we had that famous moment here this split elfish where there was a launch site ish zone and on this particular zone close like we're about to have The kill features lit up right there were like 10 teams that died in about 10 seconds And I think we're about to get one of those situations

00:42:09 Ja, ich meine, es ist vielleicht 5 oder 6 auf dem Norden, einfach nur unter dem Lava Siphon, und sie haben einen langen Weg zu gehen. So, es wird schon ziemlich messer in einen Moment. Ich weiß nicht, ob die VK Gaming... Ich weiß nicht, ob die VK Gaming ist einfach nur die Sphäre, in a sense. Sie sind die erste Team, dass sie moving sind. Ich kann sie...

00:42:28 Frisey, Sharky, und Weih sind durch die Luft, so sie vielleicht haben einen besseren Chance zu bekommen, aber als ob das nicht so gut ist, dass das nicht so gut ist, dass sie nicht so gut sind, dass sie nicht so gut sind. Sie haben sich nicht so gut gemacht. Sie haben sich nicht so gut gemacht. Sie haben sich nicht so gut gemacht. Sie haben sich nicht so gut gemacht. Sie haben sich nicht so gut gemacht.

00:42:53 Sie sind 12 Punkte jetzt für X and Y, so look, sie get taken out, aber hey, at least they picked up a couple of kills in Zone Close, um, which will help them still have a decent game. They have been usurped by Legends Gaming, who come in and take that spot away from them. Very important. I mean, imagine, they were down to one player, and now they've, uh, they've pretty much got Godspot here with this next Circle Pull. Um, in terms of...

00:43:18 ...how other teams made it out of that situation. There were pretty much only two methods that worked. One was an evac around the outside of launch site through the east side. Serenity made that in, made that work. They're still safe right now. And then there was the slow walk up as well. So VKG, we saw that do that on one side. And then Lightning Unicorn on the other.

00:43:41 Das ist ein schwerer Typ für die Unicorn, um zu fighten, in jedem Sinne des Worten. Es ist nicht einfach so easy. Wir sind einfach so jiggle-peak, um das Rube zu finden. Sooner oder später werden sie müssen. Serenity nicht wirklich haben zu bewegen. Sie können eigentlich ganz glücklich spielen die Bottom-Side. Und es scheint nicht zu sein, dass sie wirklich gut spielen können. So, wenn sie einfach nur die Hände für das machen können. Wir müssen sie sehen, dass sie in den Top-Fue-Teams sind.

00:44:10 I think that's a fair point in that position. They've got evacs, actually, which I think now that they've resupplied, they're actually going to use that to take the high ground. So, yep, there we go. They've just moved up onto the bins, as you can see. Lightning Unicorn try and take some space inside. They're actually going to fight Legends Gaming right now, who we said, sure, they were in Godspot, but they have to hold on to it.

00:44:34 This is Akuma on the outside. They're the team stopping anyone from rotating through this path. They're struggling to stay alive with Serenity on their outside. As you can see, they're blocking that lane, but they're also shoving VKG.

00:45:02 in the inside here and pushing them against the gas. So there's a very tenuous position for all of the teams inside this command center. Gonna get very messy in a second. Someone's got their little patch of safety carved out, but eventually as that zone starts to push its way in, that's going to deplete and go outside there with the next ones to go, obviously.

Wonton Dumpling gewinnt das erste Spiel

00:45:22

00:45:22 Wow, you can't doubt it. After the Monsoon show the other week, you just cannot doubt that gun and that sight anymore. He's almost making it meta by himself. Yeah. Certainly some teams picking that up now. And, you know, obviously we haven't had a lot of vision of Wanton Dumpling so far, but they've already picked up seven points here. And they are in a good spot. They, you know, it's them and Serenity on the outside with the other 14.

00:45:51 Ja, das ist nicht der Platz, wirklich.

00:46:01 As we said though, every point matters. How many instances have we cast where we've seen a team go to 49 points? Maybe even Team Berger, they got to 49 and then they won the next game. And then they got to 50 and they couldn't win a game since that point. So it was a little painful. That's where even one extra placement here or one extra kill would potentially make a massive difference.

00:46:24 Ihr Fortunes und kann eigentlich die Differenzierung zwischen Land und Missing Out. Wie gesagt, es gibt alle Pointe, aber es ist wirklich so, in der Match Pointe Format. Ich weiß nicht, was kommt in den Match Pointe Format. Ich weiß nicht, was kommt in den Match Pointe Format. Ich weiß nicht, was kommt in den Match Pointe Format. Ich weiß nicht, was kommt in den Match Pointe Format.

00:46:53 Out of the picture as well. Legend felt like mutually assured destruction really. It was just a bit of a mess. Both teams go down to final three remaining. Lightning Unicorn is the team.

00:47:02 Ja, das ist so wichtig, dass sie nicht nur, dass sie, dass sie nur in der ersten Squad sind, aber wie gesagt, ja, Ninox, Ninox, Ninox, sie sind alle gut zu gehen, so jetzt ist es eigentlich ein fairer 3-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way-Way

00:47:29 Shieldjammer's going out there, um, you know, or should I say stuck, um, and not being able to be used. Who's in the better position out of these squads? Honestly, very hard to tell. So much Faustic Gas around. I think I'd like to take, uh, the bottom. I think I'd like to take the bottom down there with the wonton dumpling because Serenity at the moment.

00:47:48 Wontong Dumpling

00:48:08 Incredible. Match won, done and dusted. Look Gino, we knew Wonton Dumpling were heavy hitters, right? And we had a quick little discussion about it. But just absolutely insane for them to take the first game.

00:48:26 What an exceptional game from them. I feel like we didn't see too much going into watching the match fold out there. But they're just sitting in the shadows. They're waiting for the perfect spots. Usually they steamroll and take down every team in their path with a bit of KP. But I feel like they played this quite...

00:48:44 Ich glaube, es war ein Rekover. Sie hat eine große Reset. Sie hat eine sehr starken Position. Aber sie waren die Miette zwischen Akuma und VK Gaming. Sie hält auf für so lange als möglich.

00:49:07 Ja, es war ein ziemlich tolles Effort für sie zu werden, als Sie sagen. Als Sie gesagt haben, Sie würden nicht erwartet, dass das, dass sie gewonnen hat. Und das ist das was die Top Teams machen. Und ich denke auch, wie Sie gesagt haben, Wanton Dumpling spielen sehr intelligently. Und das ist auch etwas, was Sie brauchen. Und das ist auch etwas, was Sie brauchen. Und das ist auch etwas, was Sie brauchen. Und das ist natürlich ein Bogen für ihre String, das war wahrscheinlich in den letzten Jahren, wenn sie nicht unbedingt für Landspots spielen.

00:49:36 ...in that sort of rarefied air. But, you know, landing at Thermal Station, it's a shorter walk for them to get over towards Launch Site, where we finish up, and they just sort of, yep, slowly work their way in from the west. And, yeah, oh my god, that final fight didn't even look close, man. Gugu just trained his Vault Sites on a couple of players, and they were no more.

00:50:00 Ja, der Cohesion ist unglaublich. Ich fühle mich immer wieder einmal an, sie gewinnen. Es ist total insane zu sehen. Und wir haben immer gesagt, dass sie gerne collecten Kills along den Weg sind. Aber ja, jetzt die Fakt, dass sie jetzt in der Placement sind. Und look at sie gehen da. Again, once on Dupling in den Front und den Forefront. Und Gugu, of course, mit der Lots-Of-Damage.

00:50:23 Oh my lord. Yeah, like, they're a great team. And I think what I was saying before about Gugu is kind of getting proven right here in this stat sheet. He is just looking around. Yeah, like, by far, you know, the player with the most damage here in this entire lobby. Legacy actually picked up more kills than him with five. But yeah, it's 1,700 damage. Oh, a JR as well. A player I was going to talk about, but, you know, we were sort of pushing through that X and Y.

00:50:52 Er hat auch schon gesagt, er hat auch schon gesagt, er hat auch schon gesagt, er hat auch schon gesagt, er hat auch schon gesagt, er hat auch schon gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt, er hat auch gesagt,

00:51:04 Ja, so I want to go down to the bottom of the leaderboard there and a little bit of a difficult start there for the Boogie Boarders. And even Tom Young-Kung, they were eliminated quite early on. It was a bit of a tough start for like some of our, you know, top leader teams in the overall series. So, you know, even Team Berger there having it a little bit tough. But you know what? I did say that they start out a little bit slowly, so we'll keep an eye on them. But let's head to the top of the leaderboard. Of course, Wonton Dumpling absolutely smashing that game and securing first place.

00:51:33 Und wie du gesagt, X&Y, was ein tolles Job. Das ist unglaublich für sie. Sie waren in 3rd place, aber collecting so viele Kills. Obviamente, sie haben so viele Kills, sie starten in Launch Site. Obviamente, wir hatten die Zone Pull-to-Launch Site. So, sie waren in Names, als alle waren in Rotation.

00:51:55 Ja, es war wirklich nur, dass sie das, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die

00:52:24 There wasn't actually a lot of clean wipes. And, you know, it's hard to say why that is from a macro level. We can only, you know, speculate. Maybe, you know, teams are playing their lives a little bit more because it's regional finals. Or, yeah, I don't know. Perhaps they're just a little bit scared and not willing to fully commit to the fight. Again, because it's regional finals.

00:52:44 Ja, genau das ist. Ich weiß, dass Serenity eine Chance hat, um sich zu verabschieden. Ich glaube, es war die Rest der Lava-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon.

00:53:19 Ja, ich bin hier.

00:53:27 Es ist nur zwei. Okay.

00:53:56 Schalki, WELL DONE!

00:54:11 Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's!

00:54:42 Ich bin der Fall! Ich bin der Fall!

00:55:13 Ich habe mehr Bullets! Ich habe mehr Bullets!

00:55:40 Ja, ja!

00:56:50 Welcome back, everyone. I hope you're all geared up for a massive day of Apex Legends as we just reach the regional finals here in Apex South. And if you're just joining us and you don't know what's happening, we're doing things a little bit differently than previous weeks. We now have match points scoring, so the hype is real. Even, you know, the teams right down at the bottom do have a chance for a spot at LAN.

00:57:11 But that is if they get 50 points at a win, which is, you know, something that can be incredibly difficult. We've just witnessed our skills and spice-filled team, Wanton Dumpling Genome, take out the win and match one. We did. And I don't know.

00:57:29 Keep thinking about the APAC North, you know, Regional Finals that we had yesterday, Lace, where there was, you know, it was Reject Winnity that just came out and absolutely dumpstered everybody else. I don't know, man. Have Wanton Dumpling got that kind of fire in the bag if they bought it today? Well, Game 1 has certainly gone that way.

00:57:49 That's it. It definitely goes their way, you know, all the time. But, you know, yeah, like we said, we've got six games lined up, but it could be seven, it could be eight, it could be nine. You know, I know us casters probably want to have a nice little break, but I know you guys at home just want to see the passion and the energy. And we want some tight-knit games. We want to see those, you know, those teams really, really power out. And that's exactly what we're going to do. We are hitting match number two. We'll see you over on World's Edge.

00:58:19 Yes, indeed. Hier we are again onto World's Edge. The last one, at least, for the foreseeable future. We've got a couple of Storm Points coming up right after this. So four teams that do excel on this map, one of those being Legends Gaming. And we're wanting to get some maximum points right here, right now, to potentially put them in striking distance, maybe going into Game 3. But realistically, obviously, I think for me, I'm looking at Game 4.

00:58:46 Onward probably game five something like that as where teams really start to unlock that match point capability

00:58:54 Ja, das ist wahrscheinlich wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es, wie es,

00:59:23 Maybe, you know, you think it's a geyser pool or something like that, right? It is kind of heading over there a little bit or maybe down to Big Mord, but no, it's very much center map and should be finishing, I would say, north of the mountainside here towards Monument and Fragment.

Strategische Teamzusammensetzungen und Spielverlauf auf World's Edge

00:59:41

00:59:41 Ja, so I'm reliably informed as well by the production team that there's been no composition changes coming into game two, which is probably in line with expectations. You would think if you've made it to this point in the season, if you're going into finals, you probably would be wanting to be pretty set in what your ethos is or how you want to play your game.

00:59:59 We'll potentially see some change-ups obviously going into Stormpoint, that's a different story, but at least as far as World Edge is concerned, you'd hope that teams aren't making changes from one game to the next, because that I think would be a symptom of a bigger problem. Yeah, no, I have to agree. Sometimes teams just kind of feel it, I guess, and you know, they're more of like, I don't know, an emotion-based team, a momentum-based team, but no, I would agree with you.

01:00:25 Es war das Famous Suteraiku... True! Die Krypto-Change? Ja, die Krypto-Change. Ja, die Krypto-Change, wann war das? 2021? Ja, in Sweden. Ja, in Sweden, for sure. Ja, und sie waren von nichts auf Day 1, und dann haben die Krypto-Change angefangen, und dann haben sie wirklich gut gemacht. So, das war ein bisschen. Aber ja, das ist nicht das Ding, dass man sich immer wieder sehen kann.

01:00:48 No siree. Oh, das war Lightning Unicorn. Und sie hat Kassar von VK Gaming mit dem auch. So Kassar wurde von Overlook zu versuchen, das Krypto-Scan selbst zu bekommen. Aber als die Beacon wurde zuerst, Lightning Unicorn... Oh, sie hat den Schuss aus. Er hat 50 health left. Das ist alles gut. Ich bin froh, dass sie nicht in der Schuss sind. Ich bin froh, ich bin froh.

01:01:16 Well, VK Gaming do rotate their way down as well to help him out. So it would have actually ended up being a pitch three on three though. Yeah, Lightning Unicorn just going to take a little bit more of a reserved approach. And again, this is one of those situations where I almost feel that teams don't want to be overly aggressive and potentially tank an entire game and really get zero points out of it. If they can look at themselves and say, well, we're reliably able to get three, four, five points out of this game. It's a little bit slower. Lightning Unicorn.

01:01:44 Ich glaube, es gibt das ganze Mindset, dass sie ein bisschen länger spielen, hier in der Mitte, um das Spiel zu halten, um das Spiel zu halten. Das ist ein fairer Punkt, als auch. Ich bin sicher, dass ein paar Teams auf dem Kuss, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, die, ihr wisst, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

01:02:14 Not killed at War IV, so I unfortunately did not make it into our top 20. Well, outside had a little bit of a slower start, but we got some points on the board in that first game.

01:02:34 Feels as though it is actually just in general a little bit of a slow start to this game. I guess part of that is just because less teams are having to make that early rotate down from the north. There's a much wider portion of the map that's inside of the initial ring, so a lot more room to play in the early stages of this game. I think you see that with central rings sometimes, right? Because if you've got a ring all the way down one end of the map, you tend to be forcing more people through just a few chokes to get to that.

01:03:03 Whereas if you've got a central ring, the center teams can kind of just sit where they are, and then the teams that are coming from each end of the map aren't dealing with as many other teams, because they can, at the start at least, rotate just into the fringes of the circle, and then it gets a little more hectic when you're getting around to Zone 3 or Zone 4.

01:03:30 Oh, was on Dumpling? Wir haben 19 Punkte in der ersten Spiel. Ich bin sehr auf der Zeit für eine Game-3-Matchpoint-Availability, aber das wäre ziemlich extrem. Sie haben sich auf.

01:03:47 There is a ring console within...

01:04:15 Uh, the next ring, however, at Harvester. So, I think there's, there's a case to be made that, uh, you know, taking out these guys and, and therefore getting access to that next, uh, round of information would be, um, quite a good play for these guys. Because, as you said, you know, like, it's going to be a hard rotate. You, you're, there's almost certainly going to be a team sitting in the choke to the north of Harvester. At the moment, that's, uh, KPG. So, I think, you know, sort of just getting that, uh, that notion for sure.

01:04:43 Es gibt noch eine Chance, dass es nach einer Budget-Siphon geht, um, da oder so. So, wenn sie einen interessanten Pull bekommen, dann könnte es die Ticket sein. Aber es ist sehr gut, dass es um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

01:05:12 Schürrers... ...on their way into safety inside of Fragment. Probably still a couple more buildings that are ready to be occupied by the late arrivals in Fragment. It is one of those points of interest that can really allow, you know, maybe 10-15 teams at any given time. Depending on how things are set up, even teams can sort of hold multiple floors in the same building, so...

01:05:37 Ich glaube, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es heilt. Das ist interessant, aber das wird bald bald. Sorry, ich war nur noch ein paar Minuten, das Positionen von Geyser ist, da kommt von Geyser, da waren Sie, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren, Sie waren über Ghost Town, um, und, ja, sie...

01:06:02 Sie haben sich in Fragment gelegt, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

01:06:23 Gonna have to move on from there though at some point. I think it'll be a pretty tough position to move out of. Obviously there's a lot of open territory in front of them, which a lot of teams are gonna be looking at. Oh, that's a good shot onto Pricey. He's very low, but he is at least gonna get to the ground safety. And Team Berger with three alive and made it into Fragment. Hoping to do a little bit of a better job than their first round here.

01:06:51 ...undförtlich, das einfach nur in ihren Gesichter war, als sie versucht, die Rotation zu machen, durch die Luft und ... ... und es fühlt sich, dass sie nicht so viele Möglichkeiten haben, so ich weiß nicht, dass sie in ein bisschen earlier sind.

Kämpfe und Strategien in Fragment und Umgebung

01:07:10

01:07:10 Ich habe mich auf die Teams in sehr enviable Positionen in der Mitte der Map hier. Wir haben Team Burger, die... Okay, nicht in der most solid Position. Kann sie hier für einen Moment sein? Aber wir haben Klammer hier und Klammer hier, der Ghost Down geht direkt an! Oh, das ist ein guter Start, von Dexter. Nice clean knock initially auf Tofugi, der ist sehr isoliert, aber immer noch ist, also ich bin nicht sicher.

01:07:39 Ich weiß nicht, was die Kommunikation war da. Aber es scheint, dass er sich entweder lebt high und dry war, oder ein bisschen kooky ist. Xa Myung-Kung ist sicher, dass das Free-Kill-Point ist, und vielleicht noch ein bisschen mehr. D.F. also, um, zu machen, um, M.D.Y. Black, da. Just dann zu Legacy, jetzt für Serenity.

01:08:14 So I'm not sure this is going to be too recoverable for Serenity.

01:08:18 So, Legacy, sorry, Legends, I should say. I'm looking at Legacy's name. We saw Legends get back up off of a position similar to this one, but it was certainly a lot, a lot earlier in the round. So, gonna be hard to recover that one. And outside, still kind of doing it tough at this point. Three sets of blues. Not really where you'd want to be. Most teams are starting to get to purples. And they're also pretty well outside of the zone.

01:08:48 Long way to go. Wow, a lot of teams to go through as well, so it won't be easy. That is a very, that's a mean zone as well. Yeah, central pool there. I think we've seen something pretty similar to this already in Apex South so far this split.

01:09:05 Es gibt definitiv einen, äh, wie dieses, der Boogie Boarder ist. Das war die, glaube ich, wo wir Fassi einfach auf den Topf der Tracks gesehen haben und es sahen wie keiner war. Er hat Invisibilität Hacks gesehen und einfach nie zuhörten, für zwei Minuten. Das ist ein bisschen schwierig für Tom Yum-Kung, aber die Gubb-Gap geht, und es ist noch relativ gesund, also ist alles gut.

01:09:33 Next door again, on the front foot of it.

01:09:36 They're doing a really good job of clearing out their edge of the zone around Ghost Town. There's really not a whole lot going on over there, actually, anymore for Dongyum Kung to really be too worried about. It's down south here where things get a bit busier. They got four kills already, right? So that's a pretty decent start to the game. Legacy did manage to spawn PewDie back in. Didn't get the banner for Jesko, of course. They're not playing, you know, No Conduit, No Lifeline. So there's Port Class, therefore only the one banner he's able to get.

01:10:04 Wants on Dumpling we were looking at earlier. They are, looks like...

01:10:09 Are they trying to take this fight? I think so. They're going around the outside right now of War Monster Firebird. Jackie Chan is trying to get on top of the building, but they're taking shots here from the Sentinel of Tree Cleaner up on the hill. So once I'm dumping it, for sure they want to take this fight because they're about to move out of zone and be in a really bad spot, but it's kind of hard when you're getting griefed by KPG.

01:10:40 ... ... ... ... ...

01:11:00 Und Wormons of Firebird, both in an awful position here. I mean, yeah, this is so bad. Wormons of Dumpling. Oh, they almost make it all back into the zone there, actually. You've got Boring. He's literally just putting his shield up to block nades for Jackie Chan so he can get back on his feet. I don't know if they even want to res at this point, honestly, because the knockdown shield is doing work here, keeping them alive when you've got KPG and Bearclaw Gaming literally just pinging them out, being like, hey, we know there's some...

01:11:29 Spots over here. There you go. Scan goes out. They understand they're doing the res now. So they might actually be able to get back up to a two-man. Meanwhile, on the other side, Tommy and Kung have picked up even more kills. And not only that, they're moving to a fantastic spot in this final zone. Yeah, they really are palming their way through at the moment, aren't they? Keep going. Gaming have got quite a bit to worry about. Two teams actually still on the Lava Siphon side of this engagement.

01:11:58 Und sie müssen durch, über, über, nicht sicher. Aber es ist Keep Going Gaming. Sie müssen versuchen das zu lösen. Hier haben wir einen Wunsch-On-Dumbling. Sie haben nur noch einen memberen Backup bekommen. Sie haben zwei Spieler. Und sie haben ein paar Möglichkeiten gemacht. Sie können über KPG gehen. Sie können über KPG gehen. Also, was könnte eine große Herausforderung für KPG haben.

01:12:24 Turns into a whole lot of nothing as both teams actually fly over their heads. Yeah, I mean, they don't have a Moby. Um... They are flying sort of close to a respawn beacon, but the chances of them getting that off, I think, are pretty much nil. So, uh, most likely gonna have to play out as a duo unless they sort of randomly come across a Moby in a box at some point.

01:12:48 Die sind in der Thicker-Things in der Moment, sind sie? Sie sind in der Thicker-Things in dieser Karavan und ich bin nicht sicher, dass sie so gut sind. So, wir sehen uns wie sie fühlen.

01:13:15 Oh, I'm chilling under right now. Yes, it's all you. Of course you got it. Yeah.

01:13:21 Ja, das ist es. Die andere Karte ist auf uns. Kann ich jetzt? 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, 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, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein,

01:13:49 Ja, das ist ein Duo. Ja, vielleicht. Ja, vielleicht.

01:14:08 We can't see them What do you guys think? I'm gonna have course going 5%

01:14:38 Yeah, get ready. I'm not going to do anything. I'll bang on them. What's going on to the left side? Can we chuck a smoke here? I'm guessing, go for them. Let's go. Thank you. Ganning, Ganning. Get active in this. Have a hundred months. Eighteen. Tracking them. Find you, find you, find you, find you. Behind me? Tracking the lava. Fish. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dying, I'm dying. He's inside, I've died. Tracking, tracking, tracking, tracking. Get the kill. Nice.

01:15:08 Oh, you fucking shit on them.

01:15:33 Well, Pricey is fighting hard at the moment and keeping his team in the fight. Team Burger somehow are just holding on. Wonton Dumpling has been eliminated. They're inside of the top three and I think they actually get a full res here. I don't think anyone's pushing them. No, there's nades coming out, which could spell trouble. Oh my god, a full kill knocks Pricey Sharky on one health after that. But oh my god, that was a good clutch to honestly even get into that.

Finale Kämpfe und Teamleistungen auf World's Edge

01:16:00

01:16:00 Wow. I mean, you know, just barely winning that fight in the midst of like a bang ult and then Wonton dumpling the duo swing them, but luckily get caught in the crossfire for Team Burger. So now they survive, but unfortunately, yes, it's as a duo. Tom Young-Kung, they're holding that amazing position that we talked about before on the top of the hill and then keep going gaming who are holding the Harvester Choke, our other team in the top three.

01:16:28 Ich bin ehrlich mit dir, es ist definitiv noch ein Salvageable Situation für Team Berger. Es ist wahrscheinlich gegen die Ropes, als die Zone zu pushen. Aber wenn KPG und Tom Yung-Koong, für einen Grund, kommen zu Flows vor dem Punkt, dann... Berger ist noch in mit dem Schaden. Either way, wir können in den Top 3 auf den Backen. Wir können wie Chaotik das war in den Listen-In. Tom Yung-Koong, Tom Yung-Koong, Tom Yung-Koong, wie sie wollen sie von diesen Fights. Sie sind wirklich in den Topf von KPG.

01:16:55 Taking some of that pressure off. Great beam from Dexter. Huge. With the car. And all of a sudden the circumstances change quite substantially. KPG are really under the pump and Tim Greger are kinda hunting and looking for some KP of their own. They know that if at worst case they can get one or two kill points. Yes! That would be useful. Yeah, they know that what they're... Essentially just playing for second here, right? So they see that KPG are under pressure and they help Tom Young-Kung to take them down.

01:17:23 Ja, und das ist ein leichter für Tom Yum-Kung in der Ende, weil sie wirklich haben zu gewinnen, ein 3-on-2 zu gewinnen, aber sie hatten zu tun, die Dirty-Werkung auf den KPG zu Beginn mit, als auch. So, overall, solid, solid start von Tom Yum-Kung. Wir waren, obviously, Highlighting, wie strong sie waren, wie sie waren, und ja, das war ein super-solid-Werkung für sie. Sehr, sehr gut. Ja, was ein Turnaround für sie. Ich weiß, sie wurden über 13 in der ersten Match, Elfish und...

01:17:49 They had that position. They played that God Rock there and took the win for it. They just had to wait, I guess, for the Flies to sort of come into the spiderweb. And yeah, exceptional from them. I do want to sort of touch on, though, Team Burger absolutely frying, collecting a couple of souls along the way there. They took out, I believe it was AGL under the bridge. Some excellent calls out by the team and then eliminating the team in, I think it was a broken terrain with a reset on the gold knock.

01:18:19 Ja, ja, super solid. Ich bin ein sehr guter Spiel, weil das Spiel war, weil es ein bisschen schneller zu beginnen war. Viele Teams fühlt sich in eine Position, wo sie in die Zone spielen können. Und dann, als es sich in die Zone fühlt sich in, es wurde mehr und mehr in die Zone geteilt.

01:18:46 Es war ein Plesier zu sehen, von Team Berger zu sehen. Es war ein ganzes Push-N-Pull von ihnen. Ich war, ihr wisst, dass sie alle drei wiederkommen sind, aber ja, die Nade kommt von KPG aus dem Nade kommt, hat die Möglichkeit. Aber, um...

01:19:00 Ja, es war noch sehr, sehr, sehr solid. Ja, es war noch sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

01:19:29 Ja, sehr, sehr big game. You gotta give them some credit for it. They didn't do it easily, that's for sure. They were fighting their way pretty much around the map and from the middle stages of that. So it was a rough one, but it was a worthwhile one when you can do that.

01:19:55 und du es erfolgreich und du 13 Kills auf deinem Weg bist, dann bist du mehr als glücklich mit wie es gespielt. Obviamente, der andere gewinne aus dem Spiel war Team Berger. Ein weiteres Spiel von ihnen mit den 9 Kills 2nd place. Ich glaube, wir wollen ein bisschen an eye on Wonton Dumpling. Sie keep ihre Scoreboard ticking over. Speaking of, ich denke, das wird genug für sie zu halten. Aber ja, nicht ganz. Nummer 1. 28 Punkte für Tom Yum-Kung. So, über die halfway point. So ist Wonton Dumpling.

01:20:22 And everyone else really at this point is playing catch up. Like I was saying though. It does feel like we've probably still got at least another two games here. Before we get to a point where anyone.

01:20:32 will realistically be on Matchpoint. So it's still a bit of a building platform at the moment. Exactly right. We still got a bit of time there. And unfortunately, you know, another tough game for the Boogie Boarders there as well, Elfish. I know they had like quite a nice rotate in Match 2, making it to the Monument building quite early. And then they had a bit of a devastating zone pull, you know, out into the middle. They had to, I believe, cross the likes of Dreamfire, which were just sort of playing out the side there. So unfortunately, I just feel like they couldn't make it just.

01:21:02 But you know what, hopefully they can do something when we head over to the Storm Point map. But again, you know, Tom Young-Kung Berger sitting at 4th and 5th in the overall standings. Huge games from both of them. They're definitely here to solidify themselves in those top sorts of spots. Even Dreamfire in that game, sort of, I think having about 6kp overall in 6th place even, are still great contenders. And again, with MDY White too, sitting at 7th, had an exceptional win.

01:21:31 So, you know, these teams that are sort of sitting in that top-hand bracket know exactly what is needed from them today. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting actually that you should mention MDYY, because as we are moving on to Stormpoint, they are one of the teams that tends to perform a little bit better on that map. As far as the lobby itself is concerned, they're the third highest average placement off.

01:21:51 Third lowest average placement, depending on which way you want to say it, but third best average placement. Let's just go with that for that map. So a team that, you know, we haven't really had much to say about so far. They're on World's Edge, but moving into maybe a little bit more of a comfort map, that's where we can see them hopefully accelerate and get back into the discussion. Yeah, exactly right. They are a very strong team. You know, our other strong teams, they're of course Wanton Dumpling and Legends Gaming. They do extremely well on Stormpoint as well. We find like Wanton Dumpling, usually edge hunters, they will sort of sit around.

01:22:20 Das war's, das war's, das war's, das war's.

01:22:49 Ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich, ich hab mich!

01:23:19 We can play, use the fucking kill.

01:23:48 Loser! Loser!

01:24:05 Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit.

01:24:34 Was ist das?

Übergang zu Stormpoint und Teamstrategien

01:25:53

01:25:53 Welcome back, everyone. We are here for the regional finals of Apex South, where a lot is on the line for our 20 teams tonight. Match 2 was taken out by Ziki, Asians and Dexters, but you might know them as Tom Young-Kung. And as this is the Match Point format, we are going to be heading over to Storm Point for our...

01:26:13 Third match, we've just seen Match 1-2 on World's Edge, Wonton Dumpling for the first, and of course Tom Young-Kung, they're taking out the second. But as we switch things up over to Stormpoint Elfish, why don't you take us through where some of our teams will be landing? Yeah, big ones obviously. You know, I'm a big fan of Dreamfire, The Mill, I think a great spot to be dropping still. So they'll be hoping to kind of bounce back. They had a little bit of a slower start when it came to the first map of World's Edge.

01:26:41 Hopefully moving on to map two will be a little bit of a better one for them. I think the thing to sort of keep an eye on coming into this map of Stormpoint is that there is a potential hot drop contest on the cards and that is going to be Akuma. And one wants to Firebird when we do have a look at Checkpoint you'll see that as Dreamfire at the mill like we said.

01:27:01 Always going to be a pretty important drop location. Legends Gaming as well, fairly central over towards Seto Station. So these are the teams that are going to be feeling happy and comfortable about going into Stormpoint. In particular, I'd say actually Legends is one of those teams again that, you know, they show an incredible level of consistency. Not only are they the strongest performer, generally speaking, when it comes to World's Edge, but top two when it comes to Stormpoint. So no real surprise that they will be a big team to watch coming into this map as well.

01:27:27 Yeah, they can kind of do it all, can't they? And, you know, as we sort of swap over to the map, you know, I think last week we would have seen a couple of, you know, Pools to Devastated Coast. You know, we've seen a couple of Down Beast Rings as well, Elfish. I am still very hopeful that there's going to be that zone that pulls in between Zeus Station and Lightning Rod. They see that tiny little island there and there's a massive zip going over to Zeus Station's Elfish and a zone.

01:27:56 This is Stormpoint.

01:28:18 This is Stormpoint, and it might be one of the only two times we get to see it. We'll have to find out. Obviously, we'll just keep going if we don't get to a winner after six games. And if after six games we are at that point, we'll go back over to Stormpoint. But there is a potential for four games of World's Edge, and then only the two of Stormpoint. So those Stormpoint kings...

01:28:39 Ja, talking about scoring points, uh, they're looking to pick up a couple right here with Akuma, and they've got Warmonster Firebird on the run. They will finish off Shark, and Eizu.

01:29:06 He is running for it. The remaining two members of Warmaster Firebird, yeah, they booked it. They're just looting those buildings down the bottom of Checkpoint, and I think they will be continuing on their merry way. Will Akuma let them? I think so. By the looks of it, they're happy to just loot the rest of Checkpoint, get it to themselves. You know, they've got the Evo Harvester. It's actually pretty accessible for them, so they're all ready on blues.

01:29:37 Oh, 95% Bangalore hier für Stormpoint, so... Ooh, who's the one? Who's the one? That's the big question, isn't it? We've got one team without, which was not the case on Worlds Edge. AGL. Ooh, Thicc Boys! Thicc Boy Alert! We've got Bloodhound, Gibraltar, and Caustic for AGL. That is an interesting one.

01:30:01 Well, I mean, AGL, they landed Down Beast, right? Which means they've got a Trident. As you can see, they're currently in it. They're riding it over the top of the Down Beast, Fast and the Furious style, right now. And, yeah, I mean, not only do they get the ring, which is obviously a big deal, but I think that is one of the reasons why you picked Gibraltar on Stormpoint, literally just for those bubble rotates. I can't remember who it was there. Who was...

01:30:27 Wer war, um, der Fahrrad? Wenn wir das Mill-Circle hatten? Ich weiß nicht, was das AGL. Ja, und sie machte das Rotate, um, in der Mitte des Mill mit der Bubble-Car. Das war großartig. Aber ja, das ist eine der Grund, warum sie die Gibraltar sind. Aber ja, das ist toll, dass sie jetzt die Spot auf die Down-Beast haben. Und sie können Fortify, right? Sie haben die Bubble-Bubble zu spielen. Ich werde mich auf die Perkstehen, um, ich glaube, weil wir nicht gesehen haben, viele Gibbys zu machen, um, die Purple-Armor zu bekommen.

01:30:56 Level 3 Perk choice yet. But yeah, teams already just are throwing themselves at the beast, heading towards that direction.

01:31:05 Ja, man, das ist ein ganz normales B-Circle, nicht wahr? Das zweite B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B

01:31:34 And he's back to full health. Yep, there we go. As you say, the window is closed there. MTY Black will continue taking their way towards Down Beast. Again, Legends Gaming, not too far from where the zone is, but they don't get a ring console. And yet, they're still sitting towards the top of the leaderboard. They're one of those teams that I think will be happy enough to play The Edge.

01:32:01 Und einfach nur in den Engagements, weil sie generell gut an gewinnen. Necessarily müssen sie für die Position in der Zone fahren. Sie sind auf dem Weg, so wir haben einen Blick auf das.

Kämpfe um Positionen und Zonenkontrolle auf Stormpoint

01:32:16

01:32:16 Speaking of I'm gonna rock up nearby Serenity, so Serenity will actually be a little careful about that Those are the shots that are coming through, that's a great 1-2-3 Legacy is the knock on the Warmonster Firebird, but Legends was counting down, I think it was Buggy that got knocked in that meanwhile

01:32:36 So proper movement from legends gaming as the new still comes down the ultimate oh nevermind don't need it Finished off and that's it that's legends gaming just they just they just one two three them Nice way to do it

01:33:00 Hey, head back now. Obviously, uh, there's a chance that they can go back for the banner. Still within the circle, which makes it a lot easier to do. Um, put some time to make that happen, but we'll see. Keep an eye on that one. Airclaw Gaming.

01:33:20 These houses out the front of Down Beast. Super premium in this circle, I would say, Elfish, because the circle is not going over the back of the Down Beast, so we're not going to get one of those circles we saw last time, where, you know, Dreamfire will hold the back platform, which can be a very good place to be. Now it's more the inside, on top of the Beast. Kumas inside at the moment, AGL, as we mentioned, have driven on top, and then, of course, these...

01:33:46 Houses out the front, especially if you're running, you know, Watson outside. I have one of those with a Watson at the moment. Vehicle Gaming with a Caustic helps. And then, yeah, pretty much every other team. If you don't have a Watson, essentially, I think, I think every single team who doesn't have a Caustic is running a Watson. Okay, not Tom Young-Kung. They don't have a controller character.

01:34:09 Und nicht SWQ, sie haben keine Controller Charakter, weil sie eine Fuse haben. Das ist eine Bangalore-Bloodhound-Fuse-Komposition für unsere Launchpad-Team.

01:34:39 This will be a little bit of a slower approach for SWQ. They are the team that's pretty much the furthest away from the zone. Still there at the command center, as you can see on the top right of the minimap. Once again, another pull right over the downed beast. So you don't really get any special prizes for guessing where this one goes. I feel like on Stormpoint, this is probably the most predictable zone.

01:35:04 Yeah, I think the closer it gets to sort of the edge of the sea, the more predictable it gets. So this is probably close enough that it is fairly predictable. I would agree with you there. And surface touching. One of those key indicators. Almost a Firebird. Not finished off completely, but yet another kill. Serenity, by the way, just managed to grab that banner and they have just respawned down in Barometer. Congrats to them. Welcome back, Buggy.

01:35:35 Ja, sie haben ein bisschen eine Wiese zu gehen jetzt nicht? Aber hey, es ist besser zu sein, mit drei zu sein, als sie bereits geholfen sind. Ich glaube, ein Looney zu sein kann, als sie durch, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir, als wir.

01:35:55 Schaut's off here from MTYY. Doesn't look like they want to hide too far away from this fight. I mean, what monster Firebird have already got control of that building, but maybe MTYY want to try their hand at taking it away. I mean, they're working up from Stormcatcher, right? It's a fairly far rotate for them. So they've taken their time and got up to Purples on the way. You can see not even popping the spiders above them. Might be a little bit too greedy and, you know, it's not necessarily going to get them to, well, it's definitely not going to get them to red, so.

01:36:22 Oh, that makes sense. We've got Warmonster Firebird. Azu just like, oh, I'm going to get out of here. Grab Sam Trident.

01:36:33 Ah, start. Good one. Wookiee Borders, they've been having a really tough day so far. Two points at the moment. And it doesn't look like it's going to be getting any better. Tom number four. A little bit of a messy straight start things off there from Aja, but we might have more than enough to finish things off right here, and that is Wookiee Borders gone. Done and dusted. And again, another bad, bad result for them, which now three games in, I think is really going to start to weigh heavily on the mindset and be quite problematic for...

01:37:01 The mental strength going into the rest of this lobby. Yeah, I mean, boogie boarders, they... Like, a lot of things would have to go wrong for them not to qualify for LAN. But as you say, that is not a good start. They want to be able to lock it in, be able to, you know... Like, honestly, one good game probably secures them LAN. That's all they need. But they definitely have not had that yet. Tommy Hong Kong, they're still looting in the zone here. KPG was sort of involved in that fight as well and went down to a duo. Potential to...

01:37:31 Ich glaube, es ist ein Problem für Myungkorn, aber sie werden sich nicht auswählen. Sie werden sich nicht auswählen, sondern die KP-Präsidenten oder die Chaotik-Präsidenten, nur für jetzt. SWQ hat es gemacht, nicht? Sie waren die Team, die wir über die Kommand-Center waren, die weit entfernt von der Zone. Sie haben all den Weg in die Trenches, einfach über die Beast.

01:38:00 Not doing too bad for themselves Outside of the zone having to move in right on top of SWQ in a moment. I'm not gonna lie, they took their time. That was actually quite a long looting session there from Tong Yangtong and now they're walking in on zone closed taking zone damage and it's gonna be really tough for them to get past SWQ who have just scanned them and worked out they're there. Meanwhile you've got

01:38:27 Prysie & Co. who don't exactly know where this ringer is going, but they've taken control of Checkpoint. But yeah, here's that fight coming out from SWQ. And frankly, this was just a little bit of greed coming out from Yung Kung, but I think it's going to see the end of them. Yeah, SWQ, I mean, they've lost one player, but it's looking okay for them at the moment. Donut's just not shying away from the fight at all. And that kind of tells you that their confidence was there, that the fight was going to be won. And indeed it was. Yung Kung, pretty swift exit after a stellar last game.

01:38:56 Das war ein Mieter, nicht zu lief. Ich bin so ein Loot-Goblin, dass ich absolut in die Zone stehe, aber du kannst das machen. Aber du kannst das machen, in einer Lobby wie dieser. Das ist anders, wenn du in dein Platt-Pubs bist, ist es? Oh, der Schuss fired. Ja, all right, well, Heroes... Enough with that result.

01:39:33 Ich kann nur noch ein bisschen. Es gibt nur noch ein paar Teams noch mehr zu gehen. Ich denke, Berger kommt von Checkpoint wird ein interessantes Mal, denn Serenity ist auch schon vorhin nach dem Checkpoint und sie werden auch noch mehr zu gehen. So das wird ein 3-team-pitched-battle gegen KPG für den Connector zu Downbeast. Das ist auf Dumpling. Once wieder, 2x Sentinels für Peach Guard.

01:40:02 Ich bin ein großer Fan. Und ich glaube, auf eine map wie dieser, mit einer Zone wie dieser, ist es eine gute Wahl. Sie haben einen lang-rangeren Angler. Oh, man! 4 Emacs?! Das ist jemandem Geburtstag? Das sind viele Ballons.

01:40:22 Wonton Dumpling

01:40:51 No doubt about it, MTY, da geht's Pete, das war zu easy. Guckoo's good, he's not that good.

01:41:00 Und YY, they finish off their fight down the bottom. We've got X and Y pulling up on them though. I'm sure YC will be coming in with the scam pretty soon. And then JR, the man we were talking about before, very dangerous. He's on the bang. He's got the lock here. Ah, it's the last one gone. JR can't even make it there in time. XD. He's gonna finish it with the Mastiff.

01:41:32 All right, Legends Gaming... ...we're only sitting on 14 points. Generally a pretty good Stormpoint team. Uh, they're being made to work for this game right now by Team Burger, who are essentially gatekeeping them. It is definitely Team Burger that are on the front porch here. They have the positional advantage in Legends Gaming. Gonna have to fight their way into Team Burger. Though, it has to be said, they're doing pretty well about it. Legends Gaming, I think they might win this fight. Although the initial knock is gonna go back in the opposite direction. They helped.

01:42:01 Aber jetzt haben sie die Spieler-Disadvantage. Team Berger hat sie zurück. Das ist so eine verrückte Fight hier. Sie haben drei Teams in der Mitte, uh, all diese. Serenity sind ein duo. Team Berger hat es nachgeführt, und jetzt mit den drei leften und 20 Sekunden leften, sie müssen sie aufhören. Serenity! Unless Boogie goes crazy mit dieser Owing-Man, aber er kann nur einen in der Ende.

01:42:29 4-5 Death Boxes in one spot, so a bit of a dangerous area of the map to be in, unless your name is Team Burger, because there is actually no one else that is headed in their direction. SWQ have heard those shots. They will be aware that there will be a team coming in from Checkpoint, but they didn't want to go and do any exploring of their own. Issue is going to be now for Team Burger that that zone is pushing at their back.

01:42:51 Oh no!

01:43:18 It's not gonna matter. Let's see Burger out of the picture. They had their time in the sun, but it didn't last for very long. As soon as they left checkpoint, they were done. No, I mean, Wei, he had time to pop a medkit when they were resetting there, and he just didn't do it early enough. Had to walk out of the zone with 10 health and gave himself no options. That's crazy that we've seen two such, you know, easily fixable loot issues cause some of these geek teams and very, you know, amazing teams in Epic South problems here in this game.

01:43:50 Defensive bombardment.

01:43:58 Sie sind ziemlich healthy in der Position. All right, X and Y have some fighting to do to get off of this beach. It's never a fun place to be trying to work from. Especially not with all those Bangalore Ultimates around the place, but they're not going to continue from just wasting a little bit of time, popping a couple more bats. Push out though from Lahim of Heroes is a big problem indeed, and they are, you can see, just got stuck. Oh, it was YC.

01:44:25 Maybe JR. Either way, one of the two. They both got stuck in a huge crossfire. Nothing to be done. I think that was the... Easy cleanup. It might have been the second Bangalore ult that really came. Just put the nail in the coffin there for X and Y. And XD's managed to get out. He's got a Kraber. So he's trying to scare people away from that and show some presence here. But obviously, you know, as the only one left in the squad and with a couple of seconds left to make his next move, it's not looking good now for X and Y. You know, we touched on Akuma before. They managed to...

Überraschende Wendungen und entscheidende Momente auf Stormpoint

01:44:53

01:44:53 Take out Dreamfire. Dreamfire essentially in Godspot in one of those, you know, at least in one of the buildings, I should say. Maybe not Godspot, but like obviously a very strong position in this next zone. Akuma able to take that away from them. That is a big deal and a big win for them.

01:45:23 AGL auf, auf auf, auf Downbeast, oder was left of Downbeast. Ich habe versucht, ein Harassment auf den Bible of KPG zu tun, aber sie müssen sich ein bisschen vorsichtig sein. Akuma, die man könnte sagen, ist in einen der besten Positionen in der Zone, jetzt. Error ist ein solider Team, Long-Range, Distanz, läuft gut, love it. Error ist ein sehr guter Team, also ein paar Solid-Locken-Teams in der Zone zu sein. Ich habe es remaining.

01:45:50 AGL's got 3 auf der Top of Down Beast, Akuma in the Tri-Building, Heroes on the Beach, and MDY Black in the other building are the 3 teams that are fully, 4 teams I should say, that are fully healthy. And then you've got Bearclaw Gaming down to just a duo. Come on XX, don't do this to me. Our Gibraltar is still on blue armour. He's 381 Evo off the next. Um... They don't have a lot of ammo.

01:46:19 So I guess that's why they haven't been doing that much poking. As you can see, there's just a couple of clips in, you know, barely any attachments. They've literally just sat up the top of down base for pretty much the entire game. And now they have to make a move. They'll take an isolated fight here with the bubble. Heck, I mean, you can always set that crossfire angle up quite nicely. So AGL, they walked straight into it. Bearclaw Gaming, they're not going to go down without a fight. AGL.

01:46:43 Haben sie gettet und gettet ein bisschen mehr als sie können? Es scheint zu sein, dass es so ist! Lass-Man-Standig ist nicht so weit! Und Bearclaw-Gaming gewinnt den 2-on-3! Das war Expert Positionierung von Heck. Er hat sich auf den anderen Seite. Und eine große Crossfire für Bearclaw-Gaming hat. Er hat sich in den Shreds geführt.

01:47:03 Es war sehr gut, uh, nades, auch. Als sie wieder aus dem Bubble war, haben sie getrennt mit einer Barrage von Nades, Weltimed Nades, von BCG. Obviamente, für den pushen. Aber da, man! Mein quest für Gibraltar Stats continues, apparently. Ja, das war der Problem. Either way, Bec, look, Amy, sie haben Probleme, weil es einfach nur Hektos ist. So, look, ich meine, ihr habt euch glücklich mit was ihr geschafft habt. Sie haben sich ein bisschen mehr Placement Points, sie haben sich noch mehr Placement Points.

01:47:31 Der geht für die Reise, hinter der Smoke. Ja, sie hat es. So, vielleicht ist es noch eine Chapter Untold hier für Bearclaw Gaming. Die Unlikely Heroes von Match 3. Ja, actually, Heroes.

01:47:43 They went for the armor swap just so they could juggle a little bit of health there. One goes for makehit, one goes for... They're literally looking for shield cells and stuff right now. Ah, Bearclaw Gaming definitely in shambles here, but they have a spot down the bottom. We'll see how many teams recognize that. You can see the other teams have shoved towards the northern side here, or should I say the western side here, with Heroes now going up against Akuma and MDY Black getting caught in the crossfire. Nobody can see anything. I've got to be honest with you, actually, Bearclaw

01:48:12 Oh my god! Can you believe it? Out of nowhere! Amazing!

01:48:41 From Bearclaw Gaming, they win a 2v3 against AGL to keep their positioning. They're so scared, they don't even, you know, they wait to get the res off on Belkun. And then after that, they come out on top against three full trios, Lace. What do you make of that?

Bearclaw Gaming's beeindruckender Duo-Sieg und Team Burger's starke Leistung

01:49:04

01:49:04 Imagine just sitting there and having a nice cup of tea and then seeing a gigantic Gibraltar bubble just drop down on you. You know, you would kind of shake in your boots there, but they held it strong. They kept it together. And I think it was Hecht there that absolutely annihilated everyone just popping out of that corner. And then to have this dynamic duo take it out, you know, it's just exceptional. The skill is just amazing coming out of that team.

01:49:32 You don't always need a trio in this game. You just need a little bit of passion between two players. And that is exactly what they did in that game. You know, it was just awesome to see. You know, I think another thing I wanted to touch on was another huge game there from Team Burger. You know, they were sort of cleaning up what was like left out of checkpoint. But as we can see, SWQ here just absolutely popping off.

01:50:01 They sort of waited for Team Burger there coming out of Zone, so it was a little bit of a tough rotate here for Team Burger as they patiently waited and collected these kills. You know, I don't know if there was too much that they could have done with this Zone pull when everyone sort of already, you know, rotated in, they've set themselves up.

01:50:19 Um, you know, it was tough for Team Burger, but SWQ, again, getting knocked out of there as everybody is just sitting. I also wanted to, uh, have a look at Wonton Dumpling having that difficult rotate passing. What I'm going to call, Genome, the apex definition of the movie Up. Like, what was with all those balloons, um, that they have deployed there just on the Outsider Beast?

01:50:42 Ja, ja, wer ist, wer ist ein Snipe-Hunt? Ich glaube. Ja, wir sahen, wer war der Strafe-Fling-Flame, so vielleicht ist es ihm. Aber ja, das war ein bisschen viel Interlude in den Spiel. Ja, ja, es war ein bisschen Spaß mit Bearclaw Gaming, mit der 8 Kills. Rudine nicht able zu contribute viel, aber zu convertigen.

01:51:10 From that position, incredible, honestly, from Bearclaw Gaming. So big props to them. Akuma and Heroes, of course, with 6 and 7 kills and picking up some good placement points. Very well done. Dreamfire, usually so good at playing those down B zones. Because they got shoved out by Akuma and then lost it, it's actually been a rough one for them. And, you know, they certainly would have hoped for more points out of that X and Y. With 6 place and 9 kills, they're going to be picking themselves up.

01:51:39 Uh, quite a few points of moving up into 6th place now. Will that be enough for them? I'm not sure, but, uh, you know, certainly they're sticking with the rest of these teams here as you look at the top of the scoreboard. Very competitive lobby today.

01:51:55 Ja, so we can see they're just bare core gaming, you know, after an exceptional game as well, just sort of creeping their way up to second position. And that's all it can take in that sense. Again, Tom Young-Kung, you know, they sort of got, I think, knocked out a little bit earlier there. But, you know, collecting all those kill points can sort of solidify you in that top spot. Again, with Team Burger, you know, pulling out some huge kill points.

01:52:18 ... ... ... ... ...

01:52:48 But, you know, they can make it up with kills, I guess. Yeah, definitely a couple of teams going that route and just trying to pick up the KP. Yeah, you know, Team Berger sitting in, what was it, 6th, I think. You know, they were 5th coming into today with 80 split points overall. That kind of performance, we'll definitely see them through the LAN. You know, other teams, Dreamfire, you know, probably needs to pick it up a little bit. But again, like a middle of the pack.

01:53:16 für ein paar dieses Teams wird genug sein. Ja, ich bin von AGL auch. Sie sind da bei 9.75 Uhr. Wir wollen sie über das kleine Kusper des 8 Teams. So sie sind performant und das ist genau was sie müssen in diesem Matchpoint. Aber wir müssen uns noch ein bisschen break. So ihr könnt euch einen Snacken und schicken euch das, ich glaube, das Energie, weil wir uns mehr Energie bringen. See you soon.

01:53:42 Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut. Ich bin sehr gut.

01:54:09 Ich habe die Machen mit dem ZD-D-D-D-D.

01:54:35 Was ist das F***ing old, DUDE?

01:55:08 Surprise.

01:55:40 Hello and welcome back, everybody. Game number three, nothing short of incredible as Bearclaw Gaming. Playing that game mostly as a duo, they managed to fight off, what I'm going to say, an Australian drop bear team, which is AGL, jumping down that Gibby bubble and then going up against, I think it was two full teams to take that win. Absolutely insane and skillful plays from them, Gino.

01:56:05 That was crazy. They managed the fight so well there. I mean, I guess the Gibby Bubble almost provided a little bit of a, you know, an easier way to get your nades in. Because obviously the nades stop at the edge of the bubble. So as soon as they walked out, I think, you know, they just walked straight into this barrage. And that really started the fight off for them. So yeah, look, good one there for Bear Claw Gaming. You don't often see that.

01:56:35 A duo winning when there's multiple trios alive and ready to go. Exactly right, they're sitting about 16th on the overall leaderboard as well at 61 points.

01:56:45 They could do that as a duo. Imagine if they, you know, keep this up as a trio. They could potentially even have that chance to sort of jump up that bracket. But, you know, only time will tell in that sense. Obviously, you know, we've got about seven places to fill here. Wonton Dumpling, Legends Gaming, you know, have kind of solidified the spots. They're still going to perform the way we know they can. You know, they're huge, heavy-hitting teams. You know, we have Tom Young-Kung sitting quite high on today's leaderboard. They're sitting about fourth.

01:57:14 in the overall standings. You know, these teams are, what, they're about three points difference if we have a look at the overall standings, Genome. So it's so close that it could potentially shuffle quite a bit on this leaderboard. Yeah, definitely the middle of the leaderboard is quite close. You know, where you're sitting down with Bearclaw Gaming with 61 points, it is almost impossible for them to win with anything but first, right?

01:57:40 um, you know, they, like, they'd have to have, you know, MDY, White, Serenity, Dreamfire, Team Burger, like, all of these teams would basically have to get, uh, you know, like, 20th, 19th, 18th in the lobby to sort of make that happen, right? That's when we say, uh, you know, mathematically possible, but realistically, probably not gonna happen unless they can, uh, grab a couple more of those dubs and win the match point day all up. And someone who is, uh, you know, certainly looking okay for that, but as you can see, has been on a downward slide since that first game is Wonton.

01:58:10 Don't blo-

01:58:11 Yeah, exactly right. Now, I guess we'll touch on Matchpoint as well. So if you're just joining us halfway here, you know, we have Matchpoint format, which is first team to 50 points and then claiming a win after that can take a one-way ticket to LAN. So even though, you know, we have our, I guess, our brackets here, it's still going to be, you know, anybody can take that. Obviously, we're seeing some, you know, heavy hitting teams.

01:58:40 Not overly shining, but it still is doable. It is still claimable for these teams in Matchpoint. This means we might not even know how many games we're going to play today. We haven't got anyone in Matchpoint yet. Obviously, that was just game number three, Genome. I wouldn't say it's equal, but I feel like it's going to be a long one.

01:59:06 Yeah, it's definitely shaping up to be that. As you say, no one's there at match point yet, which means we need at least another two games to finish this one off. Yeah, exactly right. You know, we've seen APAC North do it in four games, but that's fine. We're going to take ourselves into match number four. This is the next game on Stormpoint. Let's take it away.

Spiel 4: Checkpoint-Contest, Teamstrategien und Zonenrotationen

01:59:29

01:59:29 Ja, noch ein bisschen weiteres zu gehen. Es fühlt sich schon an early days zu sehen. Wir werden sehen, wie es sich in diesem Spiel geht. Look, es ist möglich, es ist möglich, dass jemand da aus diesem Spiel kommt, aber es wird wohl sein, dass es ein ganzes Spiel ist. Ich glaube, wir halten unsere Gedanken zurück für den Moment. Einmal, ein paar Dinge zu touchieren, an der Start-up ist, dass das über Checkpoint über das ist. Ich kann bereits sehen, dass das passiert. Warmonster Firebird und Akuma sind beide zu tun, um das zu tun, zu einer anderen wieder zu tun. Hmm, ich denke...

01:59:57 Oh, Akuma.

02:00:26 Es gibt einen zurück, es ist Killipolz down, Yukoi, Fightlo as well, but Crusader, this Peacekeeper is looking pretty threatening, he's trying to be patient with this, Josh knows that everything really matters at this point, and that's a good one, who wants to Firebird, will go down again, so two more twice in a row, essentially win the contest over Checkpoint.

02:00:50 Ja, das ist 2 von 2. Ich bin sicher, dass sie nur eine 1-Kill die erste Mal haben, aber wenn die andere Team komplett routed ist, dann ja, ich denke, du hast das 1 für sie, so... 2-0! Um, of course, beide Teams werden froh, dass sie wieder zurückkommen sind, wo sie in ihren Dropspots haben, und wo niemanden ist. Ich meine...

02:01:12 You do see that less, right, when you play Regional Finals. Teams are a little more wary of going for the contest because there's so much at stake. And, you know, it can be quite risky to take those early fights.

02:01:31 In Berga, ich bin ruhig, 25 Punkte auf dem Board, so far, heute. So, ich bin nicht so schlecht. Aber mit dem in mind, wenn sie auf die Passe halten, dann sind sie nur nur die Matchpoint nach dem 6. Das ist vielleicht ein bisschen auf die Passe. Und dann wird es vielleicht etwas in der Lage sein, dass eine andere Team einfach ein Win in Game 5, Game 6 oder so.

02:01:57 Wenn sie wirklich die beste Möglichkeit haben, dann werden sie ein bisschen schneller gehen können. So ist Legends Gaming. Einfach ein Favourites, vielleicht THE Favourites. Es ist ein Favourites, aber es ist ein ziemlich guter Spiel. Es ist relativ schnell zu gehen.

02:02:15 Ja, das ist nicht so weit von dem, aber das ist definitiv nicht so weit von Boogie Boarders, die sitzen in 20th spot sind. Das würde mean 0 split points hier für die overall standings. 2 points, ich meine, du denkst sie sind, aber sie haben.

02:02:38 Oh, well, I tell you what, you know, we can maybe get a bit of an insight as to how they're feeling because boogie boarders do have a listening ready to go and we'll get a bit of a good idea of how things are going for them today when we listen to this. Nice. I'm on here. What do you think, Flash? Moving forward. That's this guy. This guy, look back. Gotta look back. I'm looking back. I need energy when we're done. Powering away. I'm gonna try to loot it.

02:03:09 Ja, ich habe dog. Der Trapp ist da. Er ist still da.

02:03:37 Ich habe alles, ich habe alles, ich habe alles, ich habe alles, ich habe 2x hier.

02:04:03 Okay, so Boogie Boarders have found a relatively safe spot, as you can hear there, understanding where the sightlines are. It's a bit of a tricky one here. You're not in a building, right? It's not really easy to tell exactly where you're going to be taking damage from, but as the ring is pulling over this way and there's a good chance it does end up on that hill underneath Thunder Watch, I think this is a relatively...

02:04:26 Ja, hopefully. We'll have to see how this game plays out. I think this could be a good one for them. They'll be on a bit of a quieter side of the zone, that northern side. There shouldn't be...

02:04:51 Too many teams coming down from that area of the map. Maybe one. KPG's up above them. Uh, but it's kind of about really all they're gonna have to deal with. So I think they might be okay there to just sort of play a little bit of a slower game here, maybe get some more points on the board. We'll keep checking in with them as we go through this one. Uh, but as you can see, Stormpoint is one of those maps with quite a bit of verticality. Always makes it interesting moving around the map, particularly in this area of the map.

02:05:20 Around Stormcatcher, there's just a lot of, like, terrain changes. You do have to be sort of extra careful, particularly when you're going up. When you're going up these, uh, these hills, there's always a possibility you can get stuck in a very awkward fight. Yeah, 100%. There's so many teams that talk about how hard it can be to play on the south side of the map, not only because of rotations, anything. Velk alts, evac balloons actually get you less far, when you think about that, right? Legends Gaming going for their 18th respawn of the series.

02:05:47 Um, und Zon actually does pull up very much towards Stormcatcher and that hill, so Boogie Board is actually in a fantastic spot. SWQ may not be though, as they have run into Wonson Dumpling, and they're a little bit isolated from one another. Donut has, though, been able to bring back a knock with the nade. He himself will fall as well, so it's just Crazy Kong who...

02:06:10 Wie gesagt, ein bisschen isoliert von diesem Fight, auf der Outskirts ist es nicht mehr, aber es ist definitiv nicht zu sein, dass es nicht zu sein, aber es ist definitiv nicht zu sein, und es ist ein Dumpling. Oh, wer ist das Flying in? Es MDY Black, was du hier machst? Oh, ja, das ist ein guter Frage, eigentlich. Das ist die, uh... Steal some kills. Das ist die Edge der Zone, guys. Was ist das? Warum bist du Webacking that way? They saw an opportunity, they're gonna take it, but they...

02:06:38 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

02:07:01 I mean, you're gonna mess with Wonton Dumpling, you better be ready, man. You can't just roll up on that team and expect it to go your way. That is an interest. I mean, look, I think what happened was, is maybe they scanned the Survey Beacon at Launchpad and they were like, hey, there's a fight going on on Edge. We can go third this. And then, you know, well, you saw what happened.

02:07:31 Ja, welch was es war, dass die SWQ zu erst einmal eine Rez war. Sie sehen sie auf Launchpad. So, der Game hat sich schon etwas saved, von was man vielleicht sagen würde, ein Int by Empty by Black, aber...

02:07:44 Es wird ein weiterer Rotation für Wonton Dumpling, als sie wollen, aber wir haben nicht zu weit zu gehen. Es ist einfach so, dass es um-hills wird, aber okay für den Moment ist. Und hier ist ein bisschen mehr von der Verticalität, die wir reden haben, Stormcatcher. Wir haben die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne, die Pläne.

02:08:09 Und wenn man die Minimap sieht, oder wenn man die Map in generell sieht, dass es viele Teams gibt, in diesem Bereich. Es wird ziemlich busy, wenn Stormcatcher starten zu werden, aus der Zone zu werden. Ja, das wird. Man kann nicht auf dem Sturmcatcher enden, of course. Das wäre verrückt, mit all den verschiedenen Leveln zu haben.

02:08:34 So that means, like Legends Gaming, that are playing very far away from the ring right now. I mean, these guys have to go all the way through. Oh, it looks like they're actually going to wrap through the top here. And come around, try and zone wrap essentially on someone. And I like this. And I like that they're doing it in Zone 2. If it was Zone 3, it starts costing you a lot of meds. Just for the...

02:08:59 You know, for the sake of a couple of syringes or maybe a medkit, I think this is not a bad option, honestly. So it'll get them right on top. They'll be able to play top command center. And then you can, if you get control of this, you can actually drop down. If, uh, let's say, yeah, yeah, they've got evacs, right? You can see that already on, on, uh, easy flash there. Um, so you take control of the gravity cannon at the top of command center and you can literally just jump on the evac tower and, and ooh, it's a, it's a really good play. I like this from Legends Gaming.

02:09:27 Es ist definitiv ein unorthodoxes, dass man ein Team oder zwei aus kann, wenn man einen Team in die Zone kommt. Obviamente haben wir die Maths gemacht haben, haben wir die Meds gemacht. Ich muss mich ein bisschen vorsichtig auf Lan, die... At dieser Stelle, ist er wirklich aufzunehmen, was passiert hinter ihm ist? Nicht wirklich. Ich bin also interessiert in was passiert auf dem Hill.

02:09:53 I don't know if Legend are going to be seen, so it might just be a case of whether or not they're heard. Ah, they've been spotted. There you go. So KPG have got the information, they've done their due diligence, well done. That would have been a little bit unfortunate if they would have allowed Legend to really just push their way in without getting any information at all.

02:10:14 Okay, well, there goes all my theory of crafting about top command, but this is also a reasonable spot to play from. That said, once they do get set up, it does become a little harder, so...

02:10:27 Ich glaube, das ist einfach so, ich glaube, das ist einfach so, dass sie den Gen out ist, aber ich glaube, das ist einfach so, in case jemand drops auf dem. Ich glaube, das ist einfach so, dass sie nicht hier sein können, um, nach dem nächsten Minuten zu gehen. Aber sie müssen auf den Hillen gehen und auf, sagen wir, Serenity oder Boogie Board. Ich glaube, das ist eigentlich ein bisschen interessant. Ich glaube, sie haben einen Flushmits.

02:10:47 Ja, ja, genau. Das ist warum ich so gut auf das. Du kannst das in ihren Backpacks sehen. Aber es ist ein bisschen interessant zu sehen. Sie müssen sich jemanden zu töten, um, um... Ich denke, wir sollten eine Listen-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In-In

02:11:17 Es ist aus der Ring, wir können das nicht wegnehmen. Wir werden uns verletzen. Können wir SIDE DOWN IN THIS BOT? THIS BOT? 1, 2, 3 SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE SIDE

02:11:41 Wir sind vom Stormcatcher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Ja, ich bin sicher. Wir sind sicher, ich bin sicher. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher.

02:12:10 Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! 110! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher!

02:12:37 Well legends gaming really threading the needle in the haystack at the moment trying to find every possible little nook and cranny of cover in there to be quite honest with you doing a decent job given the circumstances but they might have been given a little too much to do and legends will be eliminated it was some nice map knowledge displayed by strafing but end of the day they just had no flesh meds and way too many teams crossfiring them that there was really nowhere to go yeah i'm a little surprised by that honestly i mean uh you know i was

02:13:06 I was sort of talking about how I thought it was a good decision, but if you've got that few meds in the backpack, is a zone wrap really the best plan of attack? They had to play the rest of that out as if they had less than white armors, essentially. That's how you've got to think about it. Then again, some other teams are in shambles as well. Fussy's got eight ammo left. That's two bursts of the nemesis there.

02:13:31 Für die Boogie Boarders. Die Team-Mate kann er nicht helfen. Er hat keine Energie-Weapons zu tun. Aber als Sie sehen, mit dem Zone-Pull... Das ist... ...die Best-Possible-Result ein Team Burger zu bekommen. Sie sind haltet... Wir haben einen Namen für das hier? Der Secret Facilite ist, was es in der Game ist.

02:13:58 Und ja, es ist so, es ist unassailable, right? Du hast einen Caustic Barrels auf den Topen, da ist nichts anderes die Teams tun zu tun, das ist so hart. Ja, ich bin nicht sicher, was das, uh, was für alle anderen, aber für Team Verger, zumindest, sie sind sehr glücklich. Die Sache ist, dass wir nur die Blue Shield haben, aber wir reden über das in ein Moment, weil AGL ein bisschen, ein bisschen auf das Rotate-Through. Und jetzt sind die Lobby-Leaders! Und wieder von Aja, ein ganz Long-Range-Beam-Vertort ist Eliminator.

02:14:28 Guess who just went down with blue armor? Who's that? XX How'd you roll her? You cursed! Every time man, every time, come on. Just like, just play, play Edge and like hit some Evo Harvesters for me, please! Go sir.

02:14:50 We'll see what happens here, because this is going to get pretty messy pretty fast. EK Gaming have got some level of control over their circumstances, but they will have to move pretty soon. Setting up for that. Arkstars headed in the direction of MDY White. Tomyum Koon is in trouble here. Dexter goes down pretty quickly, but Akuma will be eliminated straight away. Quick trade there from Tomyum Koon, who looks to be safe for the moment.

02:15:22 A lot of teams floating around though, so I don't know if they can reliably get that res.

02:15:27 Er ist nicht so, dass Dexter auf dem floor ist. VK Gaming... Oho, ein bisschen von Zeke auf zu Shao Kai. Dong Myung-Kung ist nicht so, dass sie sich nicht in der Zeit halten, aber es kommt wirklich an zu was Zeke kann hier mit dem Kray. Aber es ist eine andere Verbindung. Es ist Tyne, die Rune aus, als die Zone auf den Weg ist, und er wird in seinem eigenen Geist geben.

02:15:55 Das ist so schwer für sie.

02:16:22 Lightning Unicorn ist auch nur eine von ihnen auf, so... Ja, Dexter hat sich schon ziemlich aufhören, das ganze Endgame ist. Zeke ist die einzige, die wirklich able zu bleiben für Tom Yum-Kung ist, aber jeder Moment, dass er offen ist, ist eine Potenzial-Kill, oder eine Potenzial-Placement-Point. Und das ist, dass du einen Schritt weiter zu der Magic Nummer 50 hast. Das ist nicht wirklich das Gleiche für Lightning Unicorn. Sie sind sehr weit entfernt.

02:16:51 Oh, da you go, Outsider Eliminated, so is he doing... He's doing Gold's work at the moment for his team. There's another knock. There's gonna be a finish on that one as well. You can see every single one of these killpoints matters to him as he tries to find it. And it's now three teams remaining. A bunch just falling in unison. Going gaming. We'll get time to reset. We talked about Team Burger up on Goldspot and MDY White also getting a reset at the moment. All three of those teams have three players alive.

02:17:20 KBG hat sich auf 8 Kills gemacht, so far. Sie sind sehr gut als TrudeCleaner. Sie ist eigentlich die Closest, sorry, Biblis ist die Closest, die Red aus dem. Als Sie sehen, Team Burger, Sie wissen, sie sind mit viel left. Sie haben ein bisschen Dammage gemacht und jetzt Sharky und Pricey sind ziemlich close zu bekommen. Aber will sie in Zeit für diese Endzone? Hard zu sagen. MDY White.

02:17:48 They're sitting by themselves as well, both teams on various edges of the circle, but it ends so close to Team Burger that they just absolutely will not have to fall off this high ground at all until the very last moment. So in this situation, what would you rather have? Would you rather have the purple armors or would you rather have a height?

02:18:10 I'd probably rather have the height still. At least, as long as it's three teams remaining. When it comes into that 3v3, the two teams, the last two teams, then maybe the extra armors can be valuable, but you can see they're actually not too far away from the purples, as Sharky and Pricey have just hit the purples now. We tend to agree. Ideally, not too far off.

02:18:33 Ja, das ist einfach so, dass sie close waren. Und ich denke, das macht viel Sinn. Wie gesagt, Wei ist nicht wirklich... ...hier an das. Und auch, er hat nur 33 Energie leften, so... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not... ...not...

02:19:02 E-Vac to give them options to get up the top here, but MDYY are taking the first blows. Yeah, that's at the hands of KPG, who are the other team on the ground. KPG need to be very careful that they don't sort of overextend on this one, because they will start to receive shots from Team Berger up the top. Team Berger are the kings of the hill at the moment. And, well, they're going to try to push the issue here a little bit.

02:19:28 Das ist der perfekte Spot zu sein, wirklich für Team Burgo. Sie können nicht besser werden, wirklich. Sie sind einfach das Dämpat auf den Gegnern. Die Empfehlungen sind nicht so gut, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben, es wird ein paar Werteilungen geben

02:19:51 Und eine solid, solid game von ihnen. Man kann es sehen, dass es relativ easy ist für sie. Sie haben die Hard Feed gemacht, aber man kann es ja, man kann es ja, wenn man diese Chance hat, wenn man diese Chance hat.

Team Burger's Sieg in Spiel 4, Matchpoint-Szenarien und Teamleistungen

02:20:06

02:20:06 Ja, Team Burger zu haben, was die Gifte, was die Gifte zu geben. Sie waren ein bisschen auf Lute, aber die Height war genug für sie, um das Victory Elfisch zu haben. Ein bisschen sad, ich glaube, für die Likes von Legends Gaming. Ich habe das Zon-Rosé-Thru-Cave, aber natürlich, ich habe ein paar paar Teams auf either Seite. Es ist ein bisschen schön hier, zu sehen Akuma gewinnen, gegen Warmonster Firebird. Es ist 2-0, als Genome gesagt hat, so es ist etwas

02:20:35 das wir wahrscheinlich sehen werden, auf Stormpoint. Ein großer Spiel von Tom, Young, Kung und Zicke absoluten Annihilfe mit dieser Kraber. Es war sort of genug zu bekommen, vielleicht noch ein Placement, ein Quick Reset auf Dexter, aber wieder zu Dexter. Aber wieder zu Dexter ist es ziemlich schnell, aber es ist noch nicht genug, als ein Solo-Warlord.

02:21:04 Ja, nein, nicht ganz. Aber ich meine, die Sache ist, dass jeder Punkt wirklich interessiert ist, denn wir sind irgendwie in die Ein-Game-Territory, wo es ein paar Teams sind jetzt, die sagen, dass das nächste Spiel ist, wir sollten das Matchpoint in sein werden, okay? Es ist nicht wirklich passiert, und wir werden die Score-Bot sehen, und wir werden hier ein paar Teams sagen, aber es gibt ein paar Teams, die könnte...

02:21:28 Reliably look at that and say, well, we can do it in one game. And that's kind of what you need to be doing so you don't run into a situation like what Team Burger did in that fateful day where I was talking about with Genome during the cast and I said that they won from 49 points to get to match point. They actually won two games in a row. They won one game that got them to 49. Then they won the next game, got over 50 and then couldn't win again. So you don't want that. You want to be getting to 50 on this next game if you are Tom Yum Kung Burger.

02:21:57 Wonton Dumpling ist nicht weit entfernt. Es wird eine große Spielgabe von ihnen geben. Aber diese sind jetzt die Leute, die jetzt in einem Spiel zu kommen sind. 9 Punkte in einem Spiel ist sehr gut.

02:22:08 Yeah, exactly right. And I guess Zicky there with the Kraber was still enough for them to, I think they had about six kill points with a fifth placement still to sort of push them right to the top and keep them there. And then Team Berger just climbing up their way. You know, again, they waited patiently. They had that zone knowledge in, I guess, in that new zone pool. Again, I'm unsure and unfamiliar with the name or what we're going to call that little area. But, you know, a few zones do pull there. You do solidify.

02:22:37 das Height und es ist ein huge one. Most teams play around that tree area as well und dann you just watch everyone rotate and storm. Team Burger just really showed us exactly how to play that zone. Again, Wads on Dumpling, getting knocked out a little bit early, but again, still collecting a lot of kills. I think it was MDY Black that sort of flew in and just kind of gave them all that KP.

02:23:03 Ja, das war eine sehr interessante選ung von ihnen, aber ich denke, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht

02:23:25 And we're better. Yeah, and at the end of the day, you don't know what team you're landing on. But I think SWQ sort of made it away with two players. But, you know, that's just how the cookie crumbles. But we're going to take ourselves another short break. And we will see you back on... Actually, we're going to see you back on... Yeah, World's Edge. It is World's Edge. Let's go. All right, we'll see you shortly.

02:24:00 von der Legacy zu einer Dynasty ist jetzt für TSM

02:25:03 hier heute.

02:25:48 Can you say the same?

02:27:04 Welcome back, everyone. Game number four is action-packed with Team Burger taking the win from, you know, from Hype, from the Godspot, pushing them up to second place for today. You know, we're here to cover everything Apex South here in the regional finals. We are obviously having the match point format, so things are a little bit different. We need our teams to hit 50 points to be match point eligible. We have not yet reached that yet, Elfish.

02:27:34 Ja, aber wir sind nicht weit entfernt. Wir haben 9 Punkte für Tom Yum Korn Team Burger. Ich denke, das ist sehr gut in einem Spiel. Wunton Dumpling, wie sie spielen können. Ja, ich sehe sie das gemacht haben. Ich meine, ja, High Placement wird das gemacht. Ein paar Kilpunkte gibt es da. Ein paar Kilpunkte sind da, und du bist jetzt fertig. Und für Keep Going Gaming, der Job wird ein bisschen schwerer. Du kannst es wirklich sein.

02:27:58 A top two or a top one to actually make that happen plus a decent number of kills coming through as well so beyond that like unless it's a really really good game from like Akuma Bearclaw Serenity or maybe KPG I think it's probably the top three that we're kind of looking at here and say okay they just need not a not a middling game it needs to be like a semi decent game but we could reasonably go into the next game with like two or three teams potentially that are on that match point

02:28:22 Yeah, exactly right. So, yeah, we could even just have a win, I guess, from Once on Dumpling to solidify themselves to hit the 50 points. So we're very much really there. Very close. But, you know, we know our heavy-hitting teams. Now let's take a look at our big damage players. Of course, we've seen that name before. It's Gugu, you know.

02:28:42 Absolutely an exceptional player there for Wanton Dumpling. Yeah, I guess we could touch on it's the first time we probably haven't seen Easy Flash up in, you know, these high damage things Elfish. But, you know, Sharky and Pricey for Team Burger and they've been performing exceptionally well today. Yeah, indeed, indeed. Team Burger are having a bit of a day and that's exactly what you want to be doing, all right? This is the day that you need to be turning up. Now, that last game certainly has helped out. I mean, it's...

02:29:09 Es ist wichtig für sie, dass wir diese Grafik nach dem Spiel sehen, die sie so gut gemacht haben. Aber wir werden natürlich sehen, wie es sich weiterentwickelt, um über die nächsten paar Spiele zu sehen. Es würde es genau so sein.

02:29:22 Prior to that game, maybe not. I think, as we've said, Gugu's been kind of the standout, obviously, for not just today, but really for the entire season, has been one of those players that we've been looking to and saying, wow, that guy is certainly a talent. And Wonton Dumpling already, yeah, like we said, have kind of locked themselves in for an international spot. But tonight, they're also doing well for themselves, which is not necessarily something we can say from Legends Gaming. Like, that graphic there, you would normally see Legends Gaming players on that graphic. And tonight, they're struggling a little bit more, so...

02:29:50 Es ist ja, wieder einmal das Argument zwischen Wonton Dumpling und Legends. Wer ist der Top von Apex South?

02:29:56 Well, right now, I think the argument has to be going to Wanton Dumpling, because they are doing well in the strongest lobby that we have. Yeah, you know, Legends Gaming are still doing, I guess, a little bit of work. But yeah, are they taking more of a backseat? Because they kind of know that they're going through. But then you look at Wanton Dumpling, you know, being that team that just wants to be able to do it all. You know, I guess at the end of the day, you want to get yourself through the land. You want to get the prize money as well. And you want to do it with style. So that's exactly what they're trying to do. I guess they solidify a win. I think they had...

02:30:25 Ich glaube, es ist gut für sie. Ich glaube, es ist gut für sie. Ich glaube, es ist gut für sie.

02:30:54 I guess, points away from match point eligibility is not too difficult. And we will definitely probably see it this game. Yeah, something that I'm looking at as well going into this one is like, where's Boogie Boarders, right? Like, when do we get to actually see them pop up? Because that last game, again, they were in a pretty rough spot that we saw them having to push down the hill and sort of play like, I think they ended up being like, maybe around 8th, 9th, something like that when they got knocked out. So they got a couple of points on the board, at least for that.

Boogie Boarders' Schwierigkeiten, Matchpoint-Kandidaten und Teamstrategien

02:31:20

02:31:20 uh in comparison to some of the earlier games that we watched where they just got like one point or no points so and it's an improvement but it's not up to scratch for a team like boogie boarders who has been one of the best teams in the region so far it is tonight 19th 13th 20th and 9th so two games they've gone last or second last once they've gone 13th which is nothing to get excited about and their best game is a ninth with one kill and it's just like what has happened to this team tonight

02:31:49 Again, they were in such a solid position going into tonight. 86 points on the overall standings that it's pretty unlikely that they get knocked out of the top eight. But I mean, they're not doing themselves any favors. Like I haven't done the maths, you know, like it's kind of hard at this point. Like so many teams you have to think about and stuff like that. But I mean, they're not in a position where they're going to get like barely any points out of today. They might have gotten like, they might have got one point or something if they...

02:32:16 If the game's ended now, they'd get like one point. I think they were 19th or something like that. So that's barely anything. Yeah, I mean, it's tough. Yeah, I've sort of touched on, you know, they always have a little bit of a slow start, but you know what? Let's hope they can turn it around in this next game. We're heading back to World's Edge. This is game number five.

02:32:37 Ja, all it takes really is one good game from them and hopefully that's going to come sooner rather than later. They're probably not the biggest of talking points at the moment because really what we're focusing on is whether or not those teams toward the top end can now get themselves to match point and I would hope at least one team is going to be able to do that this game.

02:32:57 Yeah, I think that is quite likely that we see one team there. It's not certain. I mean, you know, nine points is still... You have to work for that. And the fact that, you know, we've only got... Was it Tim Berger and Tom Young-Kung up in that sort of situation? I mean, shout out to Tom Young-Kung. Those guys always show up in regional finals. Like, when it comes to the hardest lobbies, you know...

02:33:22 Those guys are definitely putting in the work, and the harder it gets, it seems like almost the better they will do. And you were having a discussion about boogie boarders there, a little bit elfish. I have done the maths, and I can tell you it is not impossible for them to fall out of that top 8, right? It is impossible for Legends Gaming and for Wanton Dumpling, but it's not inconceivable.

02:33:49 Uh, that, uh, the boogie boards don't make it through if they don't improve. They probably only need, like, a 15th or a 14th or something to get through, I would say. Um, nice, nice zone for them, so definitely we'll keep our eyes on them. This game is Warmonster Firebird. Pull out the Conduit Pathfinder Revenant. Okay. Let's go. They, I'm pretty sure they're the team at the bottom of the standings right now, and...

02:34:18 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

02:34:44 Ja! Ah, hallo! Raid Boss Revenant! Ich weiß nicht, ob du gesehen hast, dass du einen E-Va-8 hast in Season 20 gesehen hast, aber er ist ziemlich unbeatable. Wir sehen. Wir sehen. Wir sehen. Ich glaube. Hier ist Boogie Board, 5 Punkte jetzt. Du hast sie vielleicht nicht zu treffen. 15, 14. Das würde sie 5 oder 6 Season Points overall. Ja. Jetzt sind sie 19. Das würde sie 1 Season Point geben.

02:35:13 So, das ist... Ja, das ist... Wenn es ever going to be a time where the 3rd place team, going into the day, didn't make it in the top 8, it actually could be today if they sit there at 19. That's how it happens, unfortunately. And I regret that we're having to talk about it, but look, it is one of the big talking ones of this lobby right now.

02:35:37 Oh, they've found position early in the ring. They might be okay. And as we switch over to our Pathfinder friend here, you can see Azu has picked that up with Shark.

02:35:50 He's gonna be, uh, you know, he's gonna be sniffing for blood there on that Revenant. I mean, this is gonna be one of the first time we see, uh, Pathfinder Evo picks in Competitive Apex as well, which is obviously kind of fun. Root. Um, and, uh, yeah, what do you...

02:36:13 So yeah, he'd gone for Survey Beacon, Build Research, and now obviously, uh, you know, so for his Level 2 Evo upgrades there for Pathfinder, you can either choose to be able to scan Ring Consoles or Survey Beacons, right? Um, and I think that makes a lot of sense there, uh, for Warmonster Firebird, because they started off at Saging, um, and yeah, they started off with the Survey Beacon. They didn't have a Ring Console, right? So, um...

02:36:41 Es ist ein bisschen lustig, weil du musst die Evo bekommen, bevor du kannst es. Du kannst die 200 zu erhöhen, aber du kannst nicht das Chance. Aber sie haben bereits zwei Survey Beacons bekommen, und jetzt sind sie vielleicht wieder zurückgekehrt mit Wonton Dumpling, weil sie suchen für die Skill Points.

02:37:03 Lots of other action going on around the map, so I'll try and follow as much of it as we can as teams just zoom into Skyhook as the zone moves over there. But some of these teams are setting up. Some of these teams are setting up for fights further afield as well. It's going to be one of those games where I'm kind of looking at Dreamfire again. I know I had them highlighted as one of my teams to watch at the start of the day. They were dropping a countdown.

02:37:29 Sorry, I was just watching, uh...

02:37:55 Ja, no, you're absolutely right there. I just got a bit of a jump scare as Raki got knocked in that building that we were looking at just before from Boogie Boarders, obviously. We keep talking about how they really just need a... Honestly, one good game would be enough. One big game would probably do it for them and put them beyond reproach or land. Well, keep an eye on things.

02:38:25 Legends also have not been at their best tonight. Ooh, okay. Yeah, it's been a tough one for them. Watson Conduit Bangalore. So being, you know, a composition they have been playing with throughout the split, or at least for Season 20. And...

02:38:46 Ich denke, es ist ein komp, aber es ist nicht ein, das viele andere Teams haben, sehr gut gemacht. Aber Strafe und Flames ist, äh, no stranger zu das. Oh, oh, das war ein close one. Aber MDYY, they're taking this fight. Und es ist nicht so gut für den Team Furgo. Das wird der erste, der erste, der erste Exit ist. Das ist der erste, der erste, dass sie wirklich missen. Es war für ein Moment für MDYY, mit, äh...

02:39:15 Das war sehr schnell, aber Feizhou und Mingyue waren able zu halten. Das war ein Chaotisch-Fight. Das war die Unterschiede ist, von sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr gut.

02:39:42 Wohsch, does this, uh, does that go, does it come back? Honestly, I'm gonna reserve judgment at this point. I think, you know, there's a chance Legends Gaming still could be okay under the Raven there at the bottom of Trials, but we'll just wait and see. It should be mentioned that with Team Burger going out there, that's one of the teams that we thought might be able to make it into Matchpoint, now not able to do so out of this game. So that's great news for Tom Yum Kung, potentially. If they, uh, if they can do well this game, they can be...

02:40:11 Ja, so they've been kind of mirroring Wonton Dumpling as they pulled it out of Thermal Station. They met them in the choke that joins Thermal Station and Mirage Atroir, and then

02:40:35 Warton Gobbley honestly didn't want to take the fight straight away, so they went around, and now they have kind of once again locked them in over here at Lava Fisher.

02:40:47 Eizu, ein bisschen mehr hier. Okay, ich glaube, das ist eine der Vorteile von Pathfinder, dass wenn du, wenn du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass

02:41:16 Ja, das ist noch mehr. So es ist noch 11 Required jetzt. Ja, voll kill für Wunsch-On-Tumpling. Und wir haben noch ein Firebird.

02:41:24 We'll just have to back out. I mean, they've got the Conduit, so they can just pull back to maybe, say, Landslide and grab that Banner and Rez over there. But, you know, once a dumpling, they've been, you know, their plan has been waylaid by Warmonster Firebird, so do they want to let them get away with it? Seems like they will, and they'll probably just slowly make their way through Love, Fischer Through Countdown, and then eventually into Skyhook. Hmm.

02:41:50 Bearcord Gaming haben natürlich schon gut gemacht, mit der Epec-Duo-Win auf Stormpoint. Sie sind auf der Norte von Trials, so ich glaube, dass sie vielleicht ein bisschen mehr von Trials wäre. Und sie werden dann auch mal wiederholfen, durch Trials selbst. Und jetzt ist es jetzt frei, weil die AGL sind auf der Norte, aber niemand ist in der Norte. Well, Bearcord Gaming ist... Sie werden ein Team haben zu müssen, jetzt. Sie werden gut über die Nights so far fühlen, aber sie waren...

02:42:16 16th overall coming into this lobby and 61 points if they wanted to make it into the top eight they would have needed to get a differential of 14 so plus 14 over the team that was in that position at the start of the day they are doing very well for themselves they're what were they third overall i think i saw just there um so they're actually in with a pretty reasonable chance of kind of making an unlikely play into the top eight if they can continue to play the way that they have so far

Match 5: Strategische Überlegungen und Teamdynamiken

02:42:45

02:42:45 Und es geht auch ein bisschen auf, wenn dieses Lobby eigentlich end ist. Ist es in der 6th oder in der 8th oder 10th? Wie viel Zeit haben andere Teams, oder wie viel Zeit haben sie für diese Leid? Oder wie viel Zeit haben sie für diese Leid? Oder wie viel Zeit haben sie für diese Leid? Wir müssen uns aber auch ein bisschen aufhören. Aber ja, BearCoreGaming... Es ist noch ein bisschen ein outside-shot, aber es ist nicht möglich. Es ist nicht möglich. Es ist uncharakteristisch even.

02:43:11 So far today. And that's why we're in here in match 5. And no one is at match point. And you know. There's still a chance that no one's at match point in match 6. Right? And that you know. The points have been really evenly spread across.

02:43:25 Usually you will see one team popping off or one team having, you know, two very strong games and therefore I'm just reaching that point a bit earlier than everybody else. It's just kind of out of 20 teams, it's almost like statistically likely that that happens to someone, right? Oh, nice stick there! And there we go. You guys down. Yeah, that'll be enough for the knock. MDY Black, they're not out of the hot water just yet, though. They can't really push down the stairs to capitalize on that knock.

02:43:53 So really all it does is it kind of buys them a bit of time. Robots out. Jojo's going to be getting some value out of that one and you can hear the Arc Stars getting crossed on in. But it's from Akuma who is holding the stairs and oh there's a push to come through. Solo push really from Bion. And it was a little bit more follow up but... Oh my god, they still win that? Well it wasn't... I think it was a bit of an ill fated push for MTY Black.

02:44:22 Oh, okay, sorry, my bad. They pushed down. That makes more sense. They were two only and they had that. They sort of, I guess they recognized they had that window where they were like, well, we have to try to push down while they're resing so we can take the two on two. Right. It was always going to be a tough kind of a fight because there was like...

02:44:48 Ja, da war Korsic Gas, da war Arxars, alles auf der Bottom des Stairs. Ja. Du bist all right, du bist all right? Okay, Almost a Firebird. Ah, ich habe nicht geschafft, eigentlich. In fact, ich bin in noch mehr Dying Traits, als sie vorher waren. Um, jetzt ist es jetzt nur ein member, der Partei, der Alive ist, Wonton Dumpling. Wir haben schon ein paar Shots von uns an Legends Gaming. Und wir haben auch geholfen von AGL an.

02:45:17 Harry 45 mit der DG Threat. Okay. Oh, he's not feeling so happy about this. Oh, no. There's a lot of spam going back and forth. Oh, God. Not even just spam, because he can see everything. How has this gone so wrong?

02:45:32 Seems like everything's going wrong tonight for Legends, unfortunately. The meat in the sandwich between a couple of teams. Once on Dumpling, it's a duo. But again, once on Dumpling, they need these points on the board. They're looking for everything they can get. There's another couple, but I'm not sure they're going to make it to match point now because VK Gaming is charging in their direction.

02:45:55 Yep, will they get the finish here onto Boring? They do! That's another team who was potentially looking to make it to match point, not going to. So there's pretty much only one left in the lobby now, Tom Young-Kung. And if we do get a look at that next zone at some point, we'll be able to see what their chances are of making it there. Because honestly, there is quite a bit of ground for them to cover in the middle of Skyhook, where there's currently a lo-

03:01:43 Say hello to the 401st.

Matchpoint-Kandidaten und Team-Performance im Fokus

03:02:12

03:02:12 Welcome back, everyone. We are here showcasing the Talent in Apex South. It's Regional Finals, so that means we're very close to seeing what teams make it through to LAN. Another win was filed away for Bearclaw Gaming. They're sitting quite low on the leaderboard standings, but they're not going to make that their final story, being one of our first teams to hit match point eligibility. Of course, if they win this next game, it's a ticket through to LAN, but if that...

03:02:37 That's easier said than done, Genome. So, you know, we're going to keep a close eye on them. But another team that we want to, I guess, keep a close eye on is like Tom Young-Kun and Wonton Dumpling, of course, being, you know, very close as well. I mean, look at that. Four teams on 41. Two on 42 points. I mean, I think at the start of that game, it was Burger on 41 and Tom Young-Kun on 41. So they've added one point between them.

03:03:04 Und dann haben wir alle anderen gestorben. So, ich meine, fantastische Effort von Bearclaw zu gehen über den Humpen. Ja, look, sorry, wenn ihr euch nicht catcht das, als wir waren über die Audio-Issue in den letzten Spiel. Aber das ist basically was mir und Elfisch gesagt haben, dass sie einfach nur auf dem Hill hier stehen und Blast für jeden K.P. sie können, weil sie vielleicht nur 50 Punkte bekommen haben. Und in der Ende, sie machen es.

03:03:30 And all of the teams that we thought might get there did not. So now, Lace, we're getting to the situation where over the next couple of games, it's really going to start filling out that roster, right? Like, game 7 and 8, there's probably going to be a lot of teams on Matchpoint. This one, where you're the only team on Matchpoint, teams tend to focus on you a little more. And it's kind of harder. It's kind of harder for Bearclaw to take this one out, I would say. But hey, they've done it with a duo so far today, so who knows what they're capable of.

03:03:59 That's it. Teams are going to be out for Bearclaw Gaming. But yeah, like you said, I didn't actually look past the 42 point there, but I saw everyone on 41 points. Not going to lie, I skimmed over that. Yeah, definitely going to see more teams hit that match point. And with those top teams, they seem to always be performing in these matches that we've seen. We've touched on Boogie Boarders then being at the lower end and not really doing too much to jeopardize these teams that we haven't seen much.

03:04:28 Like Serenity are doing extremely well. I wanted to touch on them too. They've been absolutely annihilating in these last couple of matches. So once, you know, they hit match point, you know, it's going to be tight. Obviously, I think it was Akuma as well. MDY White, I believe, are up there as well doing lots and lots of things throughout these matches.

03:04:50 Es ist gut zu sein. Wir haben die gleichen Teams in den letzten Matchen gewonnen. So, wenn sie die Match Point haben, die Top 8 Bracket haben, die wir gesehen haben, auf der Leaderboarden sind in der Match Point, und sie haben es auch gemacht.

03:05:06 Ja, ich bin, du hast einen Callout und Serenity da. Ich denke, 8k damage für die Team im Moment ist an ein decenter Blick. Tomyung-Kung, ich habe einen Blick auf meine Stats. Der einzige Team zu bekommen über 10,000 Damage so far in dieser Serie. Und mit 24 Kills, die ich glaube, ist die beste in die Lobby, tied mit Akuma, eigentlich.

03:05:29 Uh, at the moment. So, yeah, look, a couple of heavy-hitting teams there. I mean, you know, Serenity, they're just, uh, they're playing it safe there, playing the Bang, Blood, Core Stick composition, right? Um, so... Yeah, uh, look, let's, uh, speaking of it, why don't we have a look at, uh, what the teams have been picking so far? So, this is just for World's Edge, uh, and you can see definitely the...

03:05:54 Uh, the, the most common pick there is of course the Bang Blood Core Stick and it dwarfs everything else, right? Uh, next is, is Crypto Core Stick and Bang with nine. Uh, and then you've got, uh, our favorite comp down the bottom there, uh, go to see a Warmonster Firebird.

03:06:09 Yeah, they do love picking a little bit of Rev when it comes to crunch time, that team. But yeah, I guess in our first couple of matches when we're on World's Edge for match one and two, Bangalore was all across every single team. You know, we're seeing a slight change up, I guess, coming into, you know, match five and six from people picking Bangalore. Of course, Caustic, again, was a solid pick as well. Now we're just seeing, I guess, more Watsons flow throughout there. And then obviously you need a counter to Watson.

03:06:38 So Kryptos are coming through, you know, being able to scan those beacons and get an eye on where all those teams are headed. And Bloodhound, you know, scanning through all the smoke of the caustic gas and the Bangalore smokes that we're going to see. But it's interesting to see, you know, Conduit was a massive pick for a lot of teams, I guess, before Season 20 changes genome. And, you know, having, I guess we're watching, I think it's Legends Gaming playing the Bangalore Conduit.

03:07:07 Watsson pick, and that seems to be doing well for them. Still having, I guess, that crutch of getting those extra shields from Conduit seems to be going okay for them. I guess like Elfish said, they're not doing what we've seen in the previous weeks, but do they really need to? I think they've already got that ticket through, so they're not doing anything too crazy. Yep.

03:07:29 A lot of teams playing it safe here, Lace. Only a couple really trying to test the boundaries, like with that lifeline. And as you said, yeah, Crypto sort of being the alternative pick to the Bloodhound there in terms of people wanting to pick up recon characters. Because, you know, it gives you more access to those Survey Beacons. Either when you're on your rotate and you can, you know, fly the drone and grab that 200 EVO XP a little bit more easily.

03:07:56 But also, wenn du in den Endzonen hast, und du hast die Möglichkeit, du wirst, bis du den Rotate zu kommen, und dann kannst du den Survey Beacon auf eine sehr wichtige Zeit in der Spiel. Ja, genau, genau, genau. So, ich glaube, wir werden uns zu warten und sehen und schauen. Wir haben eine Team auf Matchpoint-Eligibilität, das ist Bearclaw Gaming. Let's take it away zu Game 6 und sehen, ob sie können es.

Match 6: Bearclaw Gaming's Matchpoint-Chance und Strategie

03:08:24

03:08:24 Ja, well, Alley's gonna be on Bearclaw Gaming, who have really just come out of nowhere today, haven't they? Two wins on the board, they were 16th going into the day, and now sitting on top, the only team that could potentially prevent us from going one more game. We'll have to...

03:08:42 Das ist ein tolles Tag für sie, wenn sie einen 3er Tag gewinnen und 50% von den Spielen gewonnen haben. Das ist nicht ein Feet, das zu sehen wird. Es ist ein schwerer Tag, nicht?

03:09:03 Um, having a look at where that ring is going, it's going to be towards, uh, Big Mord, potentially down towards Stax there. Um, so, um, as we can, uh, glean from that, that's a big pull. The Bearclaw Gaming, isn't it? Oh my word, it has gone right over the top of Big Mord. I, and, and they know as well. Like, I'm, I'm watching their POV.

03:09:30 I'm going to be sitting on their POV this entire game while I'm watching in-game. And they are well aware that this is right over the top. So look, it's still not going to be easy. It never is going to be easy to win in a lobby like this. And it's certainly not going to be easy to do it three times in one night in six games. But you really couldn't ask for a better opportunity than this. Certainly couldn't. That is crazy. So we'll see if they can do it.

03:09:57 It's come at such a crucial time. And...

03:10:02 Oh man, Belkin currently running the double flatlines, including the Rampart Special. So... I do want to just point out though, like, we've done some analysis of the Matchpoint histories of all the regions and how that's played out. One thing to note is that, at least last year, of the teams that got to Matchpoint first, only 4 out of 14 were actually able to convert that into the overall lobby. Wow.

03:10:31 Es ist nicht ein guter Conversion Rate, es definitiv nicht zu erzählen, dass es zu passieren wird. Aber ich würde sagen, ich würde sagen, ich würde sagen, ich würde sagen, ich würde sagen, wenn es passiert ist, dann ist es fantastisch. Obviamente für Verklaut Gaming, aber es ist nicht etwas, was wir sollten, per se zu erwarten. Ja, ich habe zu sagen, mit dir.

03:10:55 What do you think about this?

03:11:24 What do you think about this position for Bearcord Gaming though? I mean, with the knowledge that the ring is touching on this side, they have gone as far out to the edge of the zone as they possibly can. I like it. Basically, they've guaranteed now that they cannot get any more loot unless they get it from a loot box late in the game. They have to be really intelligent with how they're choosing to take their fights, whether they're even choosing to take fights to begin with, and obviously beyond that fact, they have to kind of hope that the fools are going to come in their direction still. Yeah, well, it's a super safe way to play the game, right? They don't need KP.

03:11:53 Okay, so they don't need to sit in Big Maud and try and push out people who are coming in. They literally just need a first place. As you can see there, that was Rudine actually taking some of those shots from long range here from Ziki. So they've got to be careful of those angles towards Stax if it does end up pulling over that way. But certainly if it pulls anywhere towards the east side here, as they're sort of predicting, Bearclaw should be in a good spot. But yeah, as you say, you've got a huge amount of heads for them.

03:12:26 Wir gehen Gaming und nicht haben eine sehr gute Zeit hier. Und sie waren auch noch ein Team, die wir sagen waren, dass sie vielleicht ein bisschen zu kommen, um zu matchpoint zu werden. So, wir sehen sie, umgekehrt, umgekehrt, umgekehrt, umgekehrt, umgekehrt, umgekehrt.

03:12:53 Und ich fühle mich, äh... Oh, K-Pling Gaming, das, äh, Knie ist off completely. Und wir haben eine Sistatine, die jetzt eigentlich nach dem, äh, das ist NDY, äh, White & Black, auf den ends des Tunnels. Ich, äh... Das... Der andere Spiel auf Stormpoint, wo sie auf Wonton Dumpling landen, ich fühle mich, das ist, äh, das ist, äh, die Dictionary Definition von Inting. Ja. Ich denke, wir sollten eigentlich, äh, das Clip schreitern.

03:13:21 No, I don't disagree, I really, it wasn't anything that inspired a lot of confidence, it's really A little okay here though, mdy wide at least

03:13:39 Ich glaube, ich glaube, dass die Majorität von dem, was in der Welt passiert ist, wahrscheinlich nicht mehr über den Topen von Staxx und Big Mord, weil es eigentlich noch ein paar Teams gibt, von Skyhook, Countdown, Landslide, Staging ist. Du hast Teams noch immer wieder in den Weg von dort. BK Gaming kommt aus der Geyser jetzt. Ich glaube, wir können nicht mehr so weit weg. Du kannst das Position halten. Es ist nicht ein schlechtes, aber du kannst es sehen.

03:14:05 Mhm.

03:14:33 Um, we had a little bit of an issue with one of our, uh, the client is running his stats feed for this game, so I don't know if, I don't think we'll get that back until Match 7, but luckily this is an easy one to keep track of, because we really only have to be thinking about, uh, Bearclaw Gaming, right? They're the only team on Match Point, they're the only one who can take it out, um, and I guess we'll just check in with the other teams afterwards to try and work out how many of those teams on 41, 42 points will be moving up onto Match Point should we make it to Match 7.

03:15:01 Pretty likely, 19 out of 20 chance, but you never know. Yeah, Tom Yum Kung, Berger, probably the two that you want to be keeping a bit of an eye on. Track of their kills if you're interested in either of those teams, because they may well still be able to make it off of this game. Fire. Audit SWQ, who are rotating their way into Lava Siphon.

03:15:32 Das ist eine sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

03:15:46 Schott, Schaukai ist auf dem ground, so BK Gaming hat ein bisschen größer Fisch zu fryieren. Sie müssen sich auf sichern, bevor sie sich auf ihre Opponenten haben. A lot of resources zu investieren hier, mit den Y-Tool getötet. Er-Mite-Nades, Darkstars, alles, ein bisschen mehr Tickle. Und wir haben noch ein paar Infos durch das Smoke, aber nicht ein vieles wird kommen von diesem Kampf. Legends will auch zurück.

Match 6: Strategische Manöver und Teamkämpfe im späteren Spielverlauf

03:16:14

03:16:14 Player K there, M&K Watson. Always nice to have on your team. You can set up those benches so much more quickly, more easily, more accurately with the M&K than you can on controller. So it's a good pick for a triple M&K team like we have in Legends Gaming.

03:16:35 Very interested to see where this next ring pull is going to end up. Hmm. That's going to give us an even better idea as to whether or not Bearclaw Gaming can actually just sit here and do nothing pretty much the whole game, which I think if they do, if they do get the opportunity to do that, then I actually think they might win. I do genuinely believe they will win from that position. I've seen it before. I've seen this position win before. With the right ring pull, it is very, very doable.

03:17:02 Weil jeder hat sich dann mit Stax über Big Mord zu tun. Und du bist einfach nur auf deinem Island zu sein und du kommst in für die 3rd party. Ich kann es wiedersehen. Ich kann es wiedersehen. Aber EGL ist es nicht so gut. Es ist ein großes Talking Point an dieser Stelle. Es war bei Boogie Boarders, aber es war ein Kampf in Fragment. Und so haben sie auf den Topf gemacht. Aber Boogie Boarders sind wirklich gute Punkte. Weil wir gesagt haben, sie nicht mehr haben.

03:17:32 Um, und confirm that land, uh, that land ticket Elfish, aber sie brauchen ein paar. So, um, so starting out with that is fine. And that's cleared out there. Rotate all the way into Geyser. Three teams, four teams inside a big mod right now. Four teams. It's getting pretty busy. One of those was VK Gaming, yeah. Made their way from Geyser.

03:18:05 Oh mein Gott! Oh mein Gott! Oh mein Gott!

03:18:35 Das war schon mit dem vor. Ich hoffe, wir können einen Vision von dem, denn das ist ein Schriftet Ring-Pull, wenn ich das gesehen habe, meine Freunde. Ja. Ja. Ja. Wolle Monster Firebird hat sich in den Eliminativen. Reste in Peace, der Pathfinder fließt, wie ein Angel. Ja, jetzt ist er in Heaven, all right? Jetzt ist er in Heaven. Wherever the Robot Heaven ist.

03:18:57 Do any teams actually are having a bit of a look at this team? Okay! Okay! If they don't win here, you couldn't ask for a better opportunity. There's no better opportunity than this. And this is like... It's almost destiny, you know? Something about the world, something about the universe wants this team to go to land. And it is giving them...

03:19:25 Every possible chance. Someone has put pen to paper for this game. There is no doubt about it. And they are being aggressive here. To watch this situation keep others away. As you can see, they actually get a kill onto VK Gaming who are playing in the broken house. That's important. They want to clear this space out. They want to relieve as much pressure on themselves as they can. They want their EVOs as well. And heck.

03:19:54 Hek is 94 away from Purple, which is obviously where you kind of need to be getting. Issue for Hek is he's got 23 Reloadable Heavy Ammo, so starting to really run low already on the Heavy Ammo for him at least. And for Rudine and Belkin, they're quite a ways away from that Evo. I actually have my doubts as to whether or not they'll even get it before the end of the game, or maybe just during that final sort of fight, but... Ah, man, you really couldn't ask for a better Zone Pool than that. That's the biggest takeaway. Yep.

03:20:21 We'll see whether or not it'll be enough, we'll focus on that in a second though, cause obviously that'll be a factor for later on in the piece, and Wanton Dumpling is kinda doing it tough at the moment. They've got a decent amount of map control down to the southern side of the zone here, with a 2-1 split, which is not something that you see all that often actually, when it comes to Apex Legends, but they're pretty healthy, pretty solid able to help each other, and it's a quick rotator cross if they need Wanton Dumpling.

03:20:46 Ich glaube, das Team Berger ist, dass das Spiel in diesem Spiel geht. So dass sie in der ersten Platz spielen können. Ich glaube, das Spiel-Hole-Fuhr-Wans-und-Dum ist eigentlich nicht so, dass die Spiel-Hole-Fuhr-Wans-und-Dum ist jetzt. Die Spieler wissen, dass sie nach dem Position der Boring hatte in der RV. Es ist nicht in der nächsten Zone, aber es ist wahrscheinlich nahe genug, dass sie von dort stehen können.

03:21:10 This is where it starts to get interesting though. Now that teams are going to have to move out a big moor and move out of stacks. I mean, we've got 16 squads left, but the next zone really doesn't have a lot of cover in it at all. VK Gaming have control of one of the small buildings. Wanton Dumpling is sort of playing around a caravan and some ruins. And that's kind of about it. Like, there's really not a whole lot else to write home about when it comes to this next zone. It's going to get pretty disastrous pretty soon. And MDY...

03:21:39 Es ist MDY auf MDY, es ist MDY White, um MDY Black zu machen. Ich bin ein paar Punkte aus dem. All die guten ist, weil sie noch einen Schritt weiter zu tun haben. Oh, no. Es ist ein 20er, als auch. Oder die Drama erhöht. Ich fühle mich, jemand hat eine Schrift für uns, und es ist Tasty. Es ist ein guter Punkt, so far. Ich würde nicht glauben, dass das jetzt noch nicht. Ich glaube, es war 16, aber es ist noch ein Early Exit. Sie haben, sie haben...

03:22:08 3 killpoints, so it's not nothing. But if the game ends now, it may as well be nothing. We'll have to see. I don't know where that would put them, honestly, if it did end now. Heck has actually moved across to try and take our position on the rock as Zone has shifted a little bit south of that position the Bearclaw Gaming was holding. And they'll get that information soon. Okay, team's starting to evac in now. This is where it starts to get really important.

03:22:38 Well, they haven't really worried about Tom Yum Kung, who have taken up a residence on the south side of that cliff. Wanton Dumpling are moving their way forward as well. They've got some ruins to play around. SWQ, a bit of a mess for them. Cotton knocked out. MDY Black also lost their lives. And across the killfeed, I'm sure you're going to see some vomit basically at this point. Just get ready because there's going to be a lot of teams disappearing very, very quickly.

03:23:03 Als sie jetzt haben sie zu pushen von Big Mord aus. Da geht M.D.Y. White. Alside Outside. Aber bei Tomyung-Kung ist es gut. Und Sie sehen, dass der Minimap Pool da ist, hat es eigentlich ausgedrückt. Ja. Es hat eigentlich ausgedrückt. So, der Job tatsächlich wird jetzt eher schwieriger. Ich dachte, sie sollte dann in der Fall. So, Tomyung-Kung hat... Ich denke, es war...

03:23:29 Ich weiß nicht, aber ich weiß nicht, dass sie das gemacht haben und da war ein Knochen. Wenn Bearclaw Gaming zu haben, hätte sie gewonnen haben, dann hätte sie einen Vorteil, dann hätte sie wahrscheinlich gewonnen werden. Und dann hat sie dann auch ein paar Loot. Und das ist natürlich einer der größten Faktoren, um, das funktioniert gegen sie jetzt. Um, wenn sie die Möglichkeit haben, ich weiß nicht, ob es noch mehr gibt. Ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, das ist...

03:23:57 Definally moved away from a Bearclaw Gaming favored finish to a Tom Young Kung potentially favored finish. Depends on Wonton Dumpling as well, what they do and what they have to play around. Legends are now flying through the air. They're gonna land dead center, basically inside of the caravan, which was pre-trapped, by the way.

03:24:16 Und ich denke, sie werden auf den Krieg sein, ohne zu viel zu tun. Aber was ich überrascht, oder für Bearclaw Gaming ist, ist diese Teams, die zu kommen aus der Big Mord haben, und von den Norden kommen, weil es nicht so viel cover für sie zu spielen. Und eine von ihnen vielleicht nur für einen Platz auf dem Flick. Ja, absolut. Ja. Ich denke, das ist eine sehr, sehr, sehr Möglichkeit. Wir sehen, Legends Gaming ist in der R.V. Und jetzt haben wir noch eine Gen kommen jetzt.

03:24:44 I always say this, RVs, not too bad for Watson teams, for everyone else they're a death trap, but they do have that Watson to play as Serenity try and fight for their lives over here. There's so many other teams doing it, Lightning Unicorn, even Team Burger over here, and they're all struggling, frankly. Yeah, I mean, no one has actually decided to try to end it onto Bearcourt Gaming, so that'll be good news for our...

03:25:06 Oh mein Gott. Oh mein Gott.

03:25:33 Not a lot in terms of meds, but I think they were able to resupply with some of the ammo by the looks of it, but they are getting sent now. Tom Young-Kung, they sense blood, and unlike Bearclaw, they are not afraid to push it. Yeah, welcome down. It's not looking good for Bearclaw Gaming at all.

03:25:50 Ich habe gesagt, dass Bearclaw Gaming in diesem Fall ist.

03:26:13 have done enough to see maybe Tom Young-Kung and potentially Wonton Dumpling through to that match point as well. And it was a clean 3v3 on the other side, by the way. Wonton Dumpling pushed into the caravan to take out Legends Gaming, and now they get to have that final boss fight against Tom Young-Kung. And I just can't help but think if they had have pushed Tom Young-Kung when they were down to two 10 minutes ago, Bearclaw Gaming could have won this.

03:26:41 Maybe, maybe, but it's so easy to say in hindsight, and so difficult to do in the moment. Tom Yum-Kung down to just one member alive. Wanton Dumpling, it's a two-on-one for them. They're trying to give Jackie Chan some time to pop a bat. He's been able to do that, and the push is now coming through. It should be an easy one for Wanton Dumpling, and it is, but it is heartbreak, really, for Bearclaw Gaming, because they did, you could argue, almost everything that they could, and they got...

03:27:07 all of the benefits of the zone pulls and they couldn't quite make it happen.

Match 6: Nachbetrachtung und Ausblick auf weitere Spiele

03:27:13

03:27:13 Yeah, that was a little tough there for Bearclaw Gaming. They had that nice little nest on the rocks. I was just on the edge of my seat, Elfish. Unfortunately, they, you know, just got pushed out of their position there. They just needed that win, but look, we go again. We're going to keep the games rolling. Another one, you know, close to match point, I think was Dreamfire, but they got knocked down at about 10th position. Also Serenity, very close to match point eligibility.

03:27:43 But I don't think they made the cut. They didn't really solidify any KP, I don't think, and coming about eighth. So, you know, only getting about two. And I think they're about 40, 42 points. But I think Wanton Dumpling have done it. They had about eight kill points there at the end with a win. So I'm pretty certain that they might just have made that match point.

03:28:07 Ja, ich bin sicher Wonton Dumpling, ich bin bereit. Ich bin sicher Tomyumsfung, ich bin bereit. Die resten der Teams, ich bin nicht sicher. Team Vergo wurde ein bisschen früher gemacht. Sie haben ein paar Probleme zu bekommen, diese letzten paar Punkte sie brauchen. Und das ist nicht sicher, dass es noch viele andere Teams zu wirklich touchieren ist. Aber das muss man auch ein Painful für Bearclaw. Und hier ist die Information, so wir haben Wonton Dumpling 65, Bearclaw.

03:28:33 63, Tom Yum-Kung 58. Those three now can find a win in the next game, end it here and now. And then MDY, White Team Berger, not too far away. Just a zone's throw, but quite a few teams now that are kind of like one game away. But Bearclaw Gaming, they would be sitting there right now thinking to themselves, man, we just missed out on the best opportunity that we're probably going to get to win a game today. If that zone pool hadn't gone south, the one that sort of went over Tom Yum-Kung.

03:29:01 Ich denke, Bearclaw Gaming might have walked it in, but the fact that another team was able to set up on the cliff made it a little difficult to play for Bearclaw Gaming, and Dino might have been right in saying that they needed to third party that fight and sort of clear the cliff out, but obviously, as we saw, they didn't, and so you do be like that sometimes, and you reap what you sow, and unfortunately, that game could have been the difference between them making it to land and not, and they haven't been able to do it there, so... But you know what? Well, they've still got chances, but... That's it. Yeah.

03:29:26 Yeah, but this is where I guess it gets interesting. You know, we only had Bearclaw Gaming being the only one in match point eligibility, but now we've added, you know, Wonton Dumpling to the mix as well. So, you know, this is where it could be any of these teams, Tong Yam Kung as well. And I guess both, all three of these teams have taken out wins today. So it's, you know, they're definitely going to be in contention for that. We're going to take ourselves just a quick little short break as the Apex Games continue. We will see you in a moment.

Match 7: Analyse der Matchpoint-Kandidaten und Überraschungen

03:34:53

03:34:53 Welcome back, everyone. You're witnessing greatness in the making as we've almost seen our first Matchpoint Contenders Bearclaw Gaming take out a win. But you know what? Once on Dumpling said, no, that will not happen in our books. You know, they just wanted to take out game number six. We had Tom Young-Kung, you know, have come into the mix as well. Elfish reaching Matchpoint eligibility. We now have three teams.

03:35:19 um to watch out for who could potentially put a halt to the games today um but you know will they be able to do it as we head over to storm point once again i'm not gonna lie it's actually kind of surprising to me that we've only got three teams after six games that are match point eligible i've done quite a few of these match point uh formats and normally at this stage you'd have five six like maybe even up to seven or eight teams that are potentially at that point but the thing is like we've been seeing like such a sort of

03:35:48 Ich glaube, es ist einfach so gut, mit der Exception wirklich, Warmonster, Firebird. Jeder hat sich in einem anderen Kapazität in den Points zu machen, und das ist natürlich schwer für die Teams in den Top-End zu soarren. Ich denke, das zeigt, die Relativ-Strengthen der Lobby zu zeigen. So, drei Teams, ich würde sagen, es ist wahrscheinlich ein Outside-Shot zu enden hier. Ich denke, wenn wir eine andere, würde ich, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du...

03:36:16 Ja, genau, das ist genau das. Wir haben Team Berger, die haben uns eine sehr gute Ausgabe gemacht.

03:36:28 Will they be able to do that and put themselves into match point eligibility?

03:36:58 It's going to be, I guess, a tight squeeze for them. But again, it could still be one of these three teams that are in eligibility to take out the win. They've done it before. All three teams that are in the match point eligibility have won today. That is true. There's a chance they might do it again. That's it. And we're going to head straight in. We're going to find out. This is match number seven. We're going to head back over to Storm Point. Let's see how this plays out.

03:37:25 Ich glaube, es wäre ein bisschen ein Gefühl, wenn ihr boogie boarder seid, würden Sie? Weil jetzt sind sie 19 auf den Tag des Spiels und das würde einem einen Punkt geben. Das ist natürlich nicht so gut, mit 87 total für die Spielsitzung. Sie würden vielleicht sogar noch nicht in die Wäser geteilt von den Top 8. Ich weiß nicht, was Ihre Gedanken sind auf das, Gino, aber zumindest wenn ich...

03:37:50 If I'm Boogie Boarders right here, I'm breathing a sigh of relief that they've got at least another chance to sort of jump up the standings a little bit here. And really all it takes for them is one good game, but they haven't been able to conjure any of that tonight. No, I mean, one good game will probably get them up a couple of spots. Might get them to maybe 16th. There's a couple of, you know, teams that aren't too far ahead of them as we watch this contest play out for the third time today between almost Firebird and Akuma. Definitely some, you know, some juking going on depending on how the...

03:38:19 ...how the Jumpmaster-ing goes. It's a, you know, a little understood art... ...that matters a lot in these contests... ...because, you know, who manages to get there first... ...and grab, you know, one of the tri-bins... ...over on the right-hand side? It's a big deal. And this time we actually saw more Monster Fiber... ...I think maybe grab one of those. Whereas in the previous contest that Akuma has won... ...they've had control over pretty much all of that. Now...

Match 7: Strategische Landungen, Teamkämpfe und Zonenrotationen

03:38:47

03:38:47 Schacht, ganz kurz zu dem, spielen auf den Underneath hier und auf den Revenant, als auch. Wir haben sicherlich eine viel bessere Day als Warmonster 5, also wenn wir nicht mehr Geld auf jemanden sind, ist es wahrscheinlich sie, still. Halte Shields, Yukoi, halte HP. Wir haben es wirklich schwer, in diesem Engagement für den ersten Mal.

03:39:15 Es war 2 von 2 für Akuma in den letzten paar Contests, aber es wird nicht mehr als Warmonster Firebird gewartet. Eizu ist sort of floating underneath dem. Ja, sie endlich kommen und entscheiden zu nehmen. Oh, nice Longbow shot hier! Kilo hits 2 in a row onto Shark.

03:39:40 Aber ich kann noch nicht find den Angle. Er hat sich versucht, die Flank zu finden. Ich bin mir interessiert für ein bisschen mehr Loot. Es spielt in eine ganz andere Weise, wie die Warmonster und Firebird, die ihre Team-Composition haben. Aber wir sind wieder in der Aktion. Und es sieht, dass wir zurück nach Stormcatcher wiederkommen sind. So, etwas ähnliches zu dem wir schon gesehen haben. Vielleicht ist es nicht genau wie die vorherigen.

03:40:08 Which was a win from Team Burger. Yeah, it may end up a little more to the east there. So maybe teams like MDY White's in the compound up there might be okay. You can see VK Gaming zooming in at the moment. They've just exited the Trident. Team Burger, of course, won that one. And they are once again heading into Secret.

03:40:35 Why not? They won from this position before. Let's give it another crack. I actually did see in the lobby chat after the game they won last time. I know what you're gonna say. Yeah, yeah, Bryce. He said Wei sat at our back and scanned behind us for three zones in a row. Because that's the only vulnerability, right? Like, here, where we're looking at, where MDY are pushing up, you pretty much can't lose from that position. Of course, they did not.

03:41:03 Aber ja, so long as you're watching your back, clearing your back, you are fine. But that, of course, depends on the ring pulling that way, which it may not necessarily do this time. Yeah, I'd be a little surprised if we got an exact figure of that figure circle. Bearclaw Gaming, down on a member. René, you're going to try to get raised inside of that smoke. Pop off straight away, Belkin.

03:41:25 Es könnte Bearclaw Gaming werden sehr, sehr schnell in den nächsten Spannungsgaben sind. Das sind die Legends, das ist nicht einfach ein Team zu gehen gegen.

03:41:36 Oh, ja. Oh, no. Es ist schon von 100 zu 0, wirklich, für BearCore Gaming. Es fühlt sich, wie sie alle Möglichkeiten hatten in das letzte Spiel. Und jetzt haben sie zu tun, als 2 Heck ist es bei Belkin gewesen. Das ist ein schweres zu gewinnen, aber wir haben den Ball aus. Ja, ich habe noch eine andere Sache. Oh, sie sind in der Coffin jetzt und...

03:41:56 Er ist wirklich in das vor zu lange mit nur den Duos. Ich meine, da sind so viele Teams, dude. Wie viele Teams da sind. Felken und Heck, sie get set up, aber... Sie sind einfach nur in der Richtung. Oh, das ist so scary. Nice. Er grabs es, though, double time. Sacrifices... Look, three of his seven remaining Cells. Aber ich denke, das ist wert, der Trade-Off, da. Um, you know, no time to loot, even. Um, Just wanted to grab that banner. Where do you get the res, though? Like...

03:42:24 Wenn du es jetzt nicht, wird es nicht, glaube ich, denn es sind Teams schon wieder in die Richtung. Das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das ist das, das

03:42:42 I mean, yeah, you either somehow have to take Stormcatcher off Wanton Dumpling, who are literally watching you with a sentinel. They just hit a shot, bleeding them further dry of their resources. And if not, then you kind of have to go down south, right? There's a respawn beacon near the triple house, below this, near the gravity cannon. And there's also one just above launchpad as well. So they're kind of the only true realistic options, I would say.

03:43:13 Even then, still a tough arse. I mean, just to keep everyone up to date with what's happening, they have dropped off of the position they were in, and they are, I think, at least they're attempting to go for it. Legends Gaming, this has been an uncharacteristic performance from them tonight. Not going to affect their chances of going through to land. And I suppose everyone's allowed to have a rough day. If you're going to have a rough day, would you prefer it to be today? After you've already locked things in? Maybe. That's one way to pump your Evo up.

03:43:42 Mmh.

03:43:46 Well, they should now be able to get that res, cause heading down in the direction of Launchpad, there's not really a whole lot going on there. Serenity, you know, they're down toward Launchpad, so is SWQ, but there is a revive. There's a respawn beacon there, right in front of them. It's not even in Launchpad, so I think they'll get this respawn off okay. They're gonna have to sort of sack a bit of zone control off of it, though. Obviously, they'll have to take their time to rotate back up, which they may not get a strong position this late.

03:44:15 I mean, the answer to, you know, whether it matters to Legend Gaming is basically they can't get third, realistically. They can't drop below second where they are right now, and they would have needed an exceptional performance and for Wanton Dumpling to do badly to get first place. So now that Wanton Dumpling is doing well, it basically just doesn't matter at all for Legend Gaming, honestly. They're probably going to get the same amount of prize money, they're probably going to stay second, and

03:44:42 Und ja, ich denke, ohne Klitsch... Ich denke, sie können auch Klitsch und Matchpoint gewinnen. Und dann nehmen sie über Wontong Dumbling. Aber dann, Wontong Dumbling hat sich zu verlieren.

03:45:03 Ich glaube, es ist ein bisschen heiß und coldes Team. Und ich denke, vielleicht Tonight ist es ein bisschen representativer von euch. Aber die Games, wo sie wirklich gut sind, haben sie wirklich gut.

03:45:12 Also, they're in with a pretty good shot. And they would sort of, I feel like, be one of those teams that would have maybe come out of nowhere. Like, in a way, we always knew that Tom Young-Poong was a solid contender, but they haven't really felt like a massive threat this season. And then, all of a sudden, walk away with first place at the end of the day would be like, okay, you know, I'm not surprised necessarily, but they weren't the one on the tip of my tongue, at least going into today.

03:45:39 Es spricht auch für Land, weil wenn du gut in dieser Lobby hier in den Regional Finals bist, ist es eher closer zu Land-Lobby. Und wie es spielt, und wie es spielt, und wie die Zonen-Knowledge- und Decision-Making-Ability ist, um zu erreichen, um zu erreichen, ist definitiv eher zu Land-Lobby. Ich glaube, das spricht auch für Tom-Young-Kung und Tom-Young-Kung sind ein Team dieser Qualität, und sie haben zu erreichen, auf das Level bevor, als auch.

03:46:08 Look at that zone pool

03:46:12 Der Club Gaming ist nicht wirklich in einem guten Platz zu tun. Wontong Dumpling, ich denke, ist es schwer zu finden. Sie können Stormcatcher spielen für ein bisschen länger, aber wir haben eine ziemlich viel Zeit für die Zone, um es zu finden. Und Tom Yum-Kung kommt in von Command Center. Ich meine, von dem ich sehe, auf die Minimap hier habe, wenn ich jetzt die Freize-Frame jetzt und sage, ob du denkst, dass das Spiel endet hier in Match 7 ist? Ich würde sagen, nein. Ja, ich würde sagen.

03:46:39 Ich bin, Bearclaw, sogar. Oh, sie hat die Rez, btw. Sie sehen, da unten. Ja, so sie haben wir für die Rite Option, die ich hatte, die über die Launchpad, neben der Prowler Den. So, gut für sie. Ah, es war all ein Ploy, um extra Respawn Evo Armour zu bekommen.

03:47:05 Das ist ganz schön. Ganz schön. Ganz schön. Ganz schön.

03:47:10 We'll see whether or not the zone at their back is going to bring with any surprises, but it looks okay. We want to still get to get on the board this game. And they're playing the same position that they did the last time we saw this similar zone, so you can tell that they've got those rotation paths down a little bit, but it hasn't really been coming together today, so I'm not sure that I'm super sold on it. And outside are causing problems for them now.

03:47:39 Und was sie nicht wissen ist, dass es nicht cool ist, dass es nicht zu diesem Hill wird, aber es ist nicht zu fähig mit dem. Aber all of a sudden, die OUTSIDE GETTEN DROP auf dem. Ja, das ist viel zu tun. Das ist viel zu tun, von Aflow. Und da ist Mordefoy, wo er das kam von. Oh, der Bangalore direkt durch ist ein guter paar Shots in von Racky, aber er wird eliminiert, er wird deleted und so wird Boogie Boarder. Sie haben einfach... Sie haben einfach... ein Tragete der Nacht, wirklich. Ich meine, es ist nicht schlecht genug.

03:48:08 You know, Revenant's jumping at you in Ranked. Now they have to deal with it in Pro League as well. And I mean, they're going to be furious about this because Outsider Bean immediately taken down. And that, again, you know, we were talking about the definition of inting before. That's kind of one of them, right? If you go down immediately after taking another team down as the first team to lose, you're kind of liable to be mad about that.

03:48:36 Ich meine, sicher, ihr könnt ihr 3v3 gewonnen haben, um, aber, 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, ihr könnt.

03:48:51 Das ist die nature of the game, unfortunately. Deadpool Gaming... Ich glaube, es gibt noch eine schlechte Chance, noch in diesem Spiel, wenn sie den Souten von der Zone können. Es ist eigentlich nicht so busy. Sie vielleicht mit ein paar Favorables Zone-Pulse haben noch etwas zu sagen. Und das ist ein guter Finish auf Dreamfire.

03:49:10 Wir geben ihnen all die Loot sie brauchen. VK Gaming aware. Kassa ist einfach... ...sitting an der Boden der Ramp, ...basically, ...watching for der Push zu kommen von... ...BearClawGaming. Aber er wird, ...neu-doubt, ...move sein Weg nach dem Ramp, ...as der Push kommt in. Ihr müsst auf die Bloodhounds, als auch. So, wenn Belkin scans ihn, ... ... und dann einfach, ... ...munk Kassa, ... ... das ist ein Problem. So, er hat sie jetzt schon wieder. So, er hat sie jetzt schon wieder. Hey, wir haben das Rotation, ... ... ich war über den anderen Spiel.

03:49:39 This time, it's actually Tom Young-Kung who pulls it off with the evac outside. Sadly, you know, it wasn't the Thunder Watch Hill zone, so they have to do it in round three rather than say round four or round five. So Tom Young-Kung... Oh my lord, that is...

03:49:57 Not great. Oh, they survived? Really? I thought one of them was going to go down for sure. Well, they haven't exactly ended up in Godspot. No, let's just put it that way, but... They've got a lot of loot, though.

03:50:13 Wonson Dumpling sind jetzt auch mit der Weg aus Stormcatcher, so es gibt einige Teams hier, dass wir wirklich unsere Augen auf haben. Wonson Dumpling und Tomyong-Koong sind gerade neben uns. Und dann, natürlich, Bearcourt Gaming ist der Weg auf den Rampen gegen VKG. Once die Zone pulls in, das vielleicht nicht zu bad für Tomyong-Koong ist, aber Wonson Dumpling ist wirklich hart.

03:50:43 Lobby leaders, as you say, you know, doing it tough. I haven't been able to find purples yet, despite getting a little bit of damage.

Matchpoint-Teams im Fokus: Tom Yum-Kung und Legends Gaming

03:50:53

03:50:53 Das Team ist ein Team mit nichts zu verlieren. Und natürlich, sie gehen gegen die Forge Shadows. Shark on the Revenant hat die Ultimation. Wonton Dumpling ist weg! Wir müssen noch ein Matchpoint Lobby-Leader verlieren! Ja, P-God, es ist nicht gut für Wonton Dumpling, nur die Wonton-Mann-Scanning. Und es ist einfach zu tun. Du kannst nicht mehr in das Spiel gewinnen. Du kannst nicht gewinnen.

03:51:22 Sie haben keine Pro-Active-Player zu machen und es ist einfach nicht möglich zu gewinnen. Tom Yum-Kung, ich meine, sie sind glücklich mit es, natürlich. Sie haben einen Cross-Shots auf das Engagement gesehen. Sie sehen sie auf die Seite des Sprechers. Sie sind wirklich ein Problem für ein paar Teams in der Lobby. Akuma ist auch ein Spieler. Ein paar Spieler, eigentlich. Tom Yum-Kung ist schon sehr unscathed und der Zone ist zu sehen.

03:51:49 All eyes, all eyes on Tongyongkung right now, because Bearclaw Gaming have been eliminated. Two of them got taken down by VKG when they were pushing up the hill. Heck did manage to make it past the Gravity Cannon, but they cleaned him up eventually, picking up the scent, picking up the trail with the Bloodhound. And okay, VK Gaming have eliminated another threat to this game ending, or the series I should say, ending here on Match.

03:52:16 Only one team left alive that can make that first place a reality and that is Kwameung-Kung.

03:52:27 Well, they have a very rough rotate to make right now, and the zone is at their back, so I'll be very impressed if they can make this one work. Like I said, Genome, I think we're probably going to another one, but let's see what Tom Yum Kung can negotiate. They want to go for the Balloon, maybe, but they're going to be one of the last teams to use that, so I'm not sure where they even will end up once they fly their way in. This is going to have to be...

03:52:53 A huge battle, and that's not gonna help. Oh dear. What has happened to Ziggy? He's landed on top of the orange, which is just in. No, he's not even in. Oh man, this is a mess. How does he even get to them? He's so far away from his team, but he's actually not being punished for it. The double time kind of working out. He almost makes it there. He may not get finished off. He's been scanned. There are teams that know he's knocked it on the ground right now. Legends Gaming, do they decide?

03:53:22 Die anderen zwei sind auf dem Roof. Ja. Er hat sich auf den Roof auf den Roof zu versuchen. Oder ich hoffe, dass sie sich nicht aufhören können. Ja, ich glaube, es ist eher möglich, dass sie sich auf den Rez drogen haben. Ich meine, Aja hat sein Ult, aber er könnte sich auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf auf den Ruf

03:53:51 Oh, they've actually managed to get the rest there. Tom Yum Pung. Oh my god. Asias went crazy in the building, actually, against MDY Whiten and shredded two of them. And that's actually enough for them to get the reset? Are you kidding me? Oh my god. Hero play from Asias. It's not done just yet. They've got to get the meds off as well. They've got to get the bats and the meds off at Ziki.

03:54:13 He was tossing Arkstars down at the door. While that res was happening, there was no way they could have pushed their way out. And somehow, against all the odds, all three Tom Young-Kung members get onto the roof. Nuts. Absolutely nuts. Alright, so the zone is pulling to the northeast here, okay? That is towards Keep Going Gaming. They have the best spot. Currently, teams like Burguff, who have managed to hold on to Secret, but are now going to have to push out, along with all these other teams, are going to keep going. Tom Young-Kung!

03:54:41 Despite that fantastic reset, don't look like they're gonna be making it much further in this game. Oh, someone had shots on that roof and they were just getting absolutely peppered.

03:54:51 Ich sehe nicht, dass du die Win-A-Solo wirst. Ich denke, dass es immer möglich ist, um die Rolling Thunder zu versuchen, ein wenig zu geben, vielleicht sogar von der Smoke, die auf die Aufmerksamkeit ist. Aber ich denke, wir gehen noch mal. Und NDY White, sie werden sie wieder aus der Beziehung aus der Beziehung jetzt. Das ist ein wirklich schwerer Zones zu spielen, niemand wirklich expected es zu gehen in diese Richtung, so jeder hat es zu machen.

03:55:18 Und Tomyum-Kung, sie suchen noch einen Racer? Oh, no! Schaut durch den Smoke. Ich bin Glück. Telegrafted ein bisschen mit dem, mit dem Smoke Cannister. Und jetzt auf die Zicke jetzt. So, dass er noch etwas mehr Superlative ist, als was wir von Bearclaw Gaming gesehen haben. Es sieht aus, dass es vielleicht ein Game 8 ist. At least ein Game 8 ist.

03:55:44 In the middle of the zone right there. They've got the Alternator pylon up. They've got a couple of fences and they are three strong. Might be one of those games that we are hoping to see from Legends Gaming. That's sort of been missing a little bit tonight. I don't know that it would be enough to get them into match point territory, but it would get them probably into one game territory at least. AGL playing the wall over here. You know what's crazy? That concrete wall that you see in front of you is just as strong as the tarpaulin that

03:56:13 Legends Gaming is sitting behind. Oh, Zink is about to die. There you go. But we will go one more.

03:56:23 XxFPS hat die Defensive Bombardment auf der Alternator-Pylon, so ich bin nicht sicher, was das wirklich zu tun zu Legend ist. Ich denke, sie sind zu über das, aber es hat versucht AGL zu crossen. Sie sehen, sie arbeiten ihren Weg um das Zone. Sie wollen die Rock, und sie haben die Bubble gemacht, und es ist jetzt nicht so gut für sie. Legends Gaming ist es zu sein. Und sie sagen, wir sind nicht sehr interessiert, was ihr seht. Wir wollen 11 mehr Punkte aus diesem Spiel.

03:56:53 Maybe it's possible, maybe it is possible if they can get most of the kills. Alright, Legends Gaming controlling the middle of this circle. Easy flash, always with the damage here. Almost up to reds, a few more Hemlock bursts will get him there.

03:57:14 He's got Taste of Blood as well. He's gone for the less picked Level 2 upgrade for Bloodhound. Oh, gets a beautiful stick! And that's a celebration to get him to red, but also take down AGL as they're now in the final two between Legends Gaming and Keep Going Gaming. You can see Keep Going Gaming made it to 51 points there. Legends Gaming, I think if they do win this, they actually make it. If they get those three kills, cost the extra placement points.

03:57:42 We'll have to check when we get to the standings whether or not they even win. I guess it's gonna be the next question. Of course they will. Legends Gaming, have they now done enough to make it into Matchpoint? Yeah, look, I reckon they have. I think the mass was right. There probably would have been another six points that they pick up indeed to move up and into Matchpoint eligible status. So congratulations to Legends Gaming, one of our

03:58:11 Ja, das ist genau das wir sehen von Legends Gaming. Wir haben jetzt die 7-7 in der Region Finals hier in Apex South. Bearclaw Gaming, Wonton Dumpling, wurde der Genome knocked out early. Sie haben alle eyes auf Tom Young-Kung als unser 3rd Matchpoint Team.

03:58:35 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

03:59:00 um you know leading the pack leading the charge uh you know we definitely just seen a couple of uh not so not terrible games but not their best games uh recently and they finally just switched flip the switch turn things around and they take out the winning game number seven it's gonna be exciting to see this here we go here we go and we see them just absolutely obliterate again easy flash with some

03:59:23 Hard-hitting damage there. We always see, you know, Easy Flash pulling out the big guns. Together we're with 11 kills. I think that means that they are now match point eligible. Of course, we'll take a look at that in a moment. But again, keep going gaming coming into the mix with AGL as well. I know AGL were fairly close. So I guess we're going to have to wait and see. All right. Well, as we take a look at the scoreboard.

03:59:49 A second place with one hill from Keep Going Gaming, more like Keep Our Heads Down Gaming, has managed to put them on Match Point eligible status. That is an unlikely and honestly kind of nuts scenario there from our Game 7. So yeah, well congrats to KPG, who at times looked like they might not even make the Regional Finals.

04:00:14 Now, all of a sudden, have their shot at glory and fame overseas. Legends Gaming do get there, obviously, with that win. And then MDYY also joining them, a team who, you know, only squeaked through to land last year, Lace, and then became pretty much the crowd favorite after that. That was one of the most fun things to see, this team that, you know, typically had not had a lot of success in Apex South.

04:00:42 Just becoming a crowd sensation with all of that lovely support from their fans over in China.

04:00:48 Yeah, you know, we love MDYY. We've seen some excellent stuff from them. And obviously, you know, their sister team, MDY Black, they seem to be going a little bit head-to-head in today's matches, which is quite interesting to see. But, you know, they are the ones that stand out on top. I was actually a little bit surprised to see Team Berger there not actually reach match point eligibility. I thought they might have just done it. I think they're at 49. So depending on how these games go, we now have just doubled the teams that could take out the wins.

04:01:17 Do Team Berger, you know, have enough? Is it going to go in their favor, I guess, in this sense? But, yeah, I'm a little bit shocked that they didn't get it in that game. Like a curse for them, right? That's what Elvish has talked about a couple times today. The 49-point curse for Team Berger. So they can't get it across the line. Does that mean that they're going to win the next game, Blaze? Because that would really complete that curse.

04:01:43 Ja, so if they can take out that win, that means that, you know, no one else gets it in those six teams. But we're going to take ourselves another short break, and we're going to see if some of our six teams that are in match point eligibility can win it for us today. We'll see you shortly.

04:02:14 Ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn, ich habe ihn.

04:02:43 Let's do that, let's go!

04:02:47 Ich habe nichts gemacht. Ich habe nichts gemacht.

04:03:19 Ich habe einen Schraub. Ich habe einen Schraub. Ich habe einen Schraub.

04:03:54 Nein, es ist nichts, es ist nichts, es ist nichts, es ist nichts, es ist nichts, es ist nichts.

04:04:24 Wir brauchen den Weg, wir brauchen den Weg.

04:04:39 We can play, use the fucking...

04:05:44 Surprise.

Matchpoint-Teams und Strategie-Analyse

04:05:49

04:05:49 Hello again, everyone. Things are getting serious here in Apex South. We now have six teams in contention for the match point as we are about to head into game number eight. Teams like Team Burger, who are sitting on the 49 points, need to take the win or have, I guess, genome all six teams that have been absolutely obliterating and performing today choke and fall out early. Yeah, that is one way to put it.

04:06:19 Definitely some teams that we've been really surprised by today. Dreamfire have slipped down into 17th place. That is risky for them. They were looking very good going into today at 77 points. But they probably need, what, like 13-ish to probably make it through here, Lace? And that's a far cry away from where they are at the moment. So Dreamfire actually...

04:06:47 Like Boogie Board is at risk of not getting it through. Even though we have eight spots now in Apex Out, the most we have ever had, the region is still looking so competitive that we've got a lot of these teams that are quite good are potentially not making it through.

04:07:01 Yeah, exactly right. We've been keeping a close eye on Boogie Boarders sitting third overall in the overall standings. And then, yeah, like you said, adding Dreamfire to that mix as well, who are underperforming, I guess, sitting at six. But that's two teams then being knocked out of the way to make room for teams like Tom Young-Kung and MDY White here as well. Even Serenity, you know, they still need to, like Berger, get a little bit of...

04:07:31 Bloodhound. Bloodhound.

04:07:55 Ja, es ist sehr prevalent in dieser Lobby und ich denke, es ist ein guter Zeit zu bringen, Lace, denn wir sehen uns am Ende der letzten Match, dass Easyflash war gegen den Grain. Er hat sich Raven's Blessing und Taste of Blood wählt. Ich weiß, dass es hier 83% ist. Ich würde, dass das eine ist, die höher picked out von all 4 von diesen, um, mit, you know, zu benutzen das Scammer und Refresh sehr, sehr gut, als Odin's Glare, um, als Sie sehen, wird es deutlich mehr picked. Aber...

04:08:23 Um, you know, we see it can definitely work the other way. Easy Flash picking, uh, you know, both of the ones on the right-hand side, because they enable him as a fragger, and he definitely popped off in that last game. 1800 damage, he picked up a swag of kills, and you saw, um, you know, with the six, the wingman, all that sort of stuff coming through in that last circle as well. Easy Flash is definitely putting those perks to work.

04:08:46 Yeah, that's exactly right. I guess if we have the Ravens, we always see, we were talking about teams that had a longer rotate and that coming into play, being able to scan all the Ravens along the way and moving forward. But yeah, to have, I guess, that's a great way of thinking, to have it as a fragger is something that is great to see in the mix. Of course, we've got a lot of other characters too that we've been seeing.

04:09:11 I guess like the Bloodhound and, sorry, over the Bloodhound, we've had like the Caustic come into play, which has been a huge, I don't know if I throw the word out, crutch coming back into this season. You know, we had Caustic as meta for quite a while. And then, you know, we saw him disappear, which genome, I was not mad about that. I was not mad that Caustic sort of fell off in meta, but now he's back. And you can see teams, you know, I guess.

04:09:40 you know, choosing Particle Diffuser, for example, I guess, over Parabolic Force. Look, I don't know why you're hating here, Lace. I'm really happy to see the big boy back, personally. But yeah, as you say, when we look at his effectiveness in comp, definitely more people going for that Particle Diffuser. But sometimes it depends, right? Like, I think if you're set up, Parabolic Force is not necessarily as useful, but it can be...

04:10:08 Um, of use if you're trying to push your way into, um, into someone else's, uh, building or something like that, right? And then you've got residual toxins there. Um, definitely getting picked over, breathe it in a little bit more. Um, and part of that is because of, uh, how long that vision lasts for and just enabling people in the, the visual clutter, the bang smokes, the, the caustic alts, all that kind of stuff. Um, almost like sort of having a, a mini bloodhound on your team, uh, version two.

04:10:38 Yeah, exactly right. But yeah, I can tell you why I hate Caustic. It's because, you know what, you could be one HP and then run around a corner or run into the wrong building and a gas trap goes off and that could be the end of you. So, you know what, it is a huge meta for our teams and, you know, they are playing extremely well. And like you said, it's a massive change. And yeah, having the Bloodhound, I guess, and all the smoke happening is great for them too. But I think we've got something to have a look at. One of our teams that we've got to keep a close eye on in this next match, Team Burg.

04:11:08 They are 49 points at the moment where they need to either solidify this win or have themselves, I guess, all the teams in match point contention fall off. And that's six teams. Yeah, that's a lot to ask for for Team Burger who have been sitting around at 49 points now. Well, actually they're in the 40s for quite some time.

04:11:35 Um, certainly the last couple of games, they have been struggling to find purchase here and get across. This was one of the highlights earlier on in the day, where we were extremely impressed by how they paid it. You know, we saw some of that in the listen-in that they had here. Um, you know, this was actually a 3v2, which they struggled a lot in, but it's kind of hard when you're getting pinged by the stun from Rolling Thunder there. So, the fact that they were able to pull it out.

04:12:02 After that was quite impressive. This was honestly less impressive. Because it's just a really easy spot to win from. But nonetheless. It definitely helps them on their way. To trying to. Trying to take it out today. Or at least put themselves in a good spot. Which they've done. So they unlike teams like say. Dreamfire Lacer sitting down in 17th. Had done enough. To make it through into that top 8. So far.

04:12:27 Yeah, it definitely looked like the way that they were heading, that they would have hit that match point eligibility a little bit sooner. You know, they were, like you saw on World's Edge, just in the replay, they were collecting kills along the way, having nice resets from them. Then we moved to Storm Point again, getting more kills. But I think it was just a little tough on the rotate. And then I remember their winning match. You know, they had the height, they had the god spot. They, you know, didn't even have that much loot. But to, you know, be able to, you know, connect that one keep.

04:12:53 I think it was a PK shot to the face and just taking out the win. I really thought that they might have hit it. So, yeah, let's keep a close eye on them going into match number eight on Stormpoint because, yeah, they do need to pull out something here and get themselves another win. But, of course, you know, we have Wonton Dumpling. We've got Legends Gaming, Tom Young-Kung, and all these exceptional teams in match point eligibility. Six whole teams that...

04:13:23 just need to solidify a win and have the potential to take that win as well in the way. Yeah, that's quite a few now. Now that we're up to six, it's very hard to keep track of all of them. It's hard for us, it's hard for Ardeur, for the teams who are in the lobby, of course, still playing with Anonymous mode. That's been the case for quite some time now in ALGS, but you can see who goes out, but you can't necessarily tell who's still in.

04:13:50 Yeah, exactly right. All right, let's take ourselves to match number eight. We've got to keep the Apex Games going. Let's head over to Stallpoint.

Entscheidungen und Wendungen im Matchpoint-Kampf

04:14:01

04:14:01 Ja, es wird ein bisschen zu spüren für Team Burger, wenn es hier endet, denn es wird all-too-familiar-territory sein, für zumindest die Namesake der Roste. Ja, sie sind auf 49 Punkte, und wir haben sie vorher gesehen, in der Matchpoint-Format. Akuma, die wir uns wiederholfen haben, als wir uns wiederholfen haben, auf Countdown. Und das 30-30-Repeater ist schon viel Arbeit. Das ist ein 30-30-Repeater von Killapoz, das ist ziemlich gut.

04:14:28 Either way, Akuma have swept four Monster Firebirds aside in that engagement. What I wanted to say about Burger was, you know, this is the game that they will win, Genome. They're gonna win this game on 45 points, and they're gonna go well above 50, and then someone else is gonna win the next game, and it'll be like, bad luck. Oh, gosh. They're actually trying to chase down Azu, by the way. The other times, they've left him alone, right? Because they were just like, whatever, we'll play our game. We've won the ch- the, um...

04:14:54 The POI for ourselves, we don't need to keep doing this. But because they're so close, I think, to match points, they were just a couple of points away, all of these kill points actually matter. If they would get that, they'd need one more point in the entire game. Exactly. But he's on Pathfinder, so it turns out he's actually pretty hard to chase. And Azu will get away and potentially find a spot to try and res his fallen comrades. Now, with the ring pull.

04:15:22 So having a look at that one, you can see it's pulling. Ah, finally, maybe a little bit more towards Bean, potentially even Barometer. Hard to say, but X and Y, who have been, you know, they had an okay start to the day, but have really fallen off. Maybe this is the juice they need to get back into it. Boogie Boarders, who have gone over to Command Center here on Storm Point. They have been struggling with their rotations there. They have been struggling with, frankly, everything today.

04:15:48 Und dieses Ring ist nicht wirklich gut zu helfen. Ich habe mich gefragt, ob die Mental noch da ist? Ist es überhaupt nicht möglich, dass du dein Mental noch da bist? Wenn du deine Mental noch da bist, dann ist es so schlimm. Ich meine, wenn es nicht over ist, dann ist das eine Sache, dass das Matchpoint-Format ist. Das APAC-North-Lobby, der 13-Games hat.

04:16:14 At which point, I don't know how many teams were actually on Match Point. Probably all of them. Okay, so we've got a quick scuffler here. Teams are falling in just a note cave. This is Legend Gaming versus AGL. They find each other in the Spider Cave here. It's already been done, but certainly this fight is not over just yet. Player K does get the first kill onto Jackie, and now AGL are routed. They're completely gone, in fact, and Gibby wants more.

04:16:42 Das ist nicht der Level 4 Upgrade. Ich habe nicht wirklich Zeit zu touchieren, weil wir in den End Circle waren, in den letzten Spiel, Elfish. Aber wir haben es endlich gesehen. Und er ging für Bubble Bunker. Der Bubble hat den extra 4 Sekunden von Lifetime. So wir endlich sah den Level 3 Upgrade.

04:17:03 Ich werde es hier sehen, in diesem Spiel. Und die wichtigste Sache in das Engagement war, dass Legends war. So eine der Matchpoint-Eligible Teams war. Still in der mix. Wir haben noch ein Bild von Bearcourt-Gaming gemacht. Und hier ist noch ein wichtiger Punkt. Ich kann nicht sagen, dass sie in dieser Position bleiben können. Aber es ist natürlich nicht so, dass sie nur ein Punkt aus dieser Lobby bekommen.

04:17:34 Und wenn man sich an Teams wie Bearcourt Gaming, zum Beispiel, haben sie definitiv overtaken sie mit den Points sie haben heute. So, es wird nur noch ein oder zwei solche Teams sein. Und dann sind wir in der Firing-Line. Aber... Anyway, Dreamfire ist nicht wirklich einer von denen zu sprechen, und sie sind einfach nur zu trafen. Und sie wissen, dass sie eine gute Chance haben, dass sie vielleicht diese Zone gehen, weil sie in der Richtung gehen.

04:18:02 Well, look, talking of trapping up there, Elphish, I was just having a look at teams that have changed their compositions from Game 7 on Stormpoint to Game 8 on Stormpoint. There's actually two outside have switched over the Caustic. They've dropped that for Conduit. Sorry, they've dropped the Conduit and picked up Caustic. And then kind of the opposite. Tom Young Kung, one of our Matchpoint teams, have dropped Caustic and picked up Horizon. So they're now playing Bangalore, Bloodhound, Horizon.

04:18:31 Fascinating choice here, when you think it doesn't give them priority, well, it makes it harder for them to work out where the ring and the circle is ending in this game. It gives them more fighting power, but they don't need KP. They need a win here. Must be a method to the madness.

04:18:52 Bonson Dumpling haben sich nicht in einen guten Ort, für jetzt. Ich weiß, dass die Zone nicht in einem guten Ort sein wird, so es wird nicht mehr sein. Wenn es würde, dann ist es ein Ort, das ist sicherlich ein Ort, das kann man gewinnen. Auf der Tower in Barometer. Ja, man, ich fühle mich mehr als die Teams, die ich trust, sind in Cenote Caves, so ich bin kind of bettetig auf das, aber wir werden sehen.

04:19:27 Ich werde es einfach machen, beide Teams mit Wonton Dumpling und Bearclaw Gaming und sehen, was die nächste Zone wird ihnen bringen. Wenn es ihnen bringen wird. Es ist ein guter Spread von Matchpoint-Eligible Teams. Legends und M.D.Y. sind nach dem Westen. Bearclaw und Wonton Dumpling sind nach dem Southen.

04:19:50 Und Tom Yum-Kun will be coming in from the north, so sort of wherever this zone actually ends up going, one of the teams that's Matchpoint-eligible, you'll think will be pretty happy with it. Unless it just goes dead center.

04:20:09 KPG ist sicherlich weit in der Bekan, in der Ring. Das macht es für sie. Es ist ein Matchpoint-Eligible Team, aber du kannst sie sehen, dass sie sechs Teams da sind. Und es geht ganz weit weg. Also, das ist... Hmm... Okay. Ich glaube, es ist... Ja, es ist wahrscheinlich wahrscheinlich zwischen Barrow und Cenote Caves. Aber ist es...

04:20:37 Maybe on the bridge between them. It's kind of, it's a little too north for that house that heroes are holding, sort of down the southwest there. We do see some that finish like sort of just on the eastern edge of Cenote Caves. This is actually genuinely a hard one to call though.

04:21:00 Wanns to be that way, doesn't it, when you're getting into, uh, these matchpoint games? It's always a little bit... I find, like, you get some weird zones. I don't know if it's just me. Just raise the stakes, you know? The game knows how important this lobby is. It's like, you know what? I'm gonna throw something weird in the mix. Have you got the Ouija board out? Hmm. See if I can find it. They're telling you. They're telling me...

04:21:27 So this is the game. Okay. You're telling me this is the game. The little tokens moving towards the 8 on the board. Maybe not for SWQ. Hopefully they can get some more points on the board here because they've taken over. Lightning Unicorn. Just trying to escape really. They're not interested in taking this fight so they'll drop Rolling Thunder and they're on their merry way.

04:21:56 Lots of teams in front of them that they're going to have to deal with. Not in the orange at the very least, which can be a staging platform of sorts. Werner of you came in today in 7th spot, just on the cusp.

04:22:28 They'll need to have a good day and at the moment they're in seventh spot.

04:22:35 Oh, sorry, no, no. They moved down into ninth spot after that last game. That honestly could be, like, the difference between seventh and ninth for them may actually be enough to knock them out of contention. Maybe it even comes down to whether one of those top seven teams takes the golden ticket or not. Really tough. And they're a little bit off the pace as well. There's actually a bit of a jump from them up to Akum is five points. And then another three points up to Team Burger. So they've actually got some work cut out for them here.

04:23:04 ...to make up that ground.

04:23:23 Ja. Ja. Ja.

04:23:50 Und wenn du hier losst, oder etwas passiert ist, dann... Ich weiß nicht, ob ich bin auf das, ich werde ehrlich sein. Ich meine, es ist die kind der Kampf sie spielen, richtig? Sie haben den Horizont gewonnen. Sie wollen die Leute, aber vielleicht versuchen sie zu kämpfen. Und vielleicht versuchen sie zu den ersten Reden zu bringen und den Rest des Lobbys. Und, ich meine, Wormonser Firebirds, sie haben schon gelernt, wie das Original Finale spielt heute. Obwohl sie eine der neuen Teams zu der Circuit haben. Und sie haben nicht mehr able, uh...

04:24:19 in a lobby of this calibre, you know, when the stakes are this high before, and it's been a tough day for them, but, uh, look, I've seen, you know, good things from them throughout the season, and, uh, look, frankly, I am expecting them to, uh, to continue their apex journey, and probably come back bigger and better, um, in Split 2. Yeah, no reason not to, obviously, for being shown, and, oof, how about that for another pull very, very far south, and,

04:24:48 Not a lot of cover in that one to play with, particularly when we're talking about water zones, like... Ooh, this could get a little spicy. Bearclaw Gaming might not be in a bad spot, though, around Barometer. They'll have a little bit to play with. I think Belkin's position... You can't quite play it. But they are gonna have to move out as well. This one will get spicy, that is for sure.

04:25:17 We'll see some tridents blocking a few shots at some point. There's some teams fighting over Barrow. Hard to see what's going on over here with all the smoke. But the Bloodhound will help us see through that. Well, help along.

04:25:37 He's not going to be lasting very long. WQ eliminated as the 19th team in this lobby. Lightning Unicorn will take the spoils of war. They're not going to get jumped on by either Wonton Dumpling or Bearclaw Gaming. It's too dangerous for either of those two teams to jump into that tunnel. Both are playing for their positioning and playing for the chance to win this game.

04:26:05 Rather than those kill points that are just gonna keep the scoreboard ticking over

04:26:15 Oh no, Akuma talked about them creeping up on Matchpoint, that they need two more kills. Placement points, whatever it is, will do it, and they fall just short. Painfully short. May not matter in the end though, we'll see how the rest of this game plays out, because there's every possibility that those teams that's on Matchpoint can finish up right here. They've all been surviving pretty okay thus far.

04:26:45 A lot of congregation around Barometer, at least for this next zone, but... Oh! Komm-Yum-Kung! Down a couple of members. Might not be there, might. Don't see how you get out of this one, Aziki. It's just too... impossible. You just get so few opportunities.

04:27:04 Wenn du auf Match Point bist, ist es wirklich gut. Und das ist, ich weiß, dass das still hurting Bearclaw Gaming ist, die wir gesehen haben. Und wieder, Tom Young-Kung wird erneutig sein. Und jetzt ist es alles um, die anderen Team zu haben. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter. Bearclaw geht weiter.

04:27:31 We have 14 squads left alive, and there is currently one in the circle, in the next circle. So the next 30 seconds are going to see some real chaos here. VK Gaming have the most southern...

04:27:58 Oh, MDYY did just get that res for both.

04:28:25 Das war noch nicht. So, technisch, sie sind noch 3, aber sie sind ein bisschen schwer für Wehr und sie sind auf der anderen Seite des Zones. Ich liebe die move, das hier ist, von Legends Gaming gemacht. Sie können die Positionierung erstellen, wenn das für sie geht. X und Y-over, auf Cenote Cave.

04:28:41 In a bit of a tough fight, but they're winning it okay. And that's Dreamfire out of the picture again. Continue to have a rough night. I mean 3MZ was leading a lot of the stats for them. Roy has really fallen off a Dreamfire in this finals when they need him the most.

04:28:59 Tim Berger apparently hit 50 points if this goes to another game. God forbid they win this game and then lose the next one. That would be just way too sad of a story for me having seen that before. I'm not sure that they're going to win it from here to be honest because it is looking not so good with Pricey getting enough. Weyron is pretty unhealthy as well and so is Sharky but...

04:29:24 Still fighting hard, and Boogie Porters gets eliminated again, but they get at least some points out. Legends have now been eliminated. Gumpling gone. It might just come down to MTY. Why? Is that the only team left? I think so. Yeah, I think so.

04:29:37 Only team left alive on Match Point. And I mean, if anyone's on our multi-view right now and they're watching the map feed, you would see a very interesting situation. Every team just scattered around the edge of the circle. No one really occupying space within it because there is no cover there. There is nothing to play. And that's why we're seeing so many teams fall here at this hurdle. But definitely eyes on MDYY, who have found a position up the top.

04:30:05 They're just above outside now. They have reset and they're on triple reds. This is doable. Oh, it's so hard though to guarantee anything. This surely has to be Heroes as the favored team. They're the only team on the opposite side of the lake or the water, whatever it is. That's Naiden, EMP, and... Oh, Corsi Gold. The combo is going to just devastate the team down below. Oh my God.

04:30:30 Oh no! Oh, he can't even walk it out through the gas and Mingyue has just got there with a sliver of a health!

04:30:58 But unless someone really special is shining down and watching over him, he's not going to make it. That's a match nine, ladies and gentlemen. Watch Team Burger win this game. Just watch. Just watch. I've seen the story. I've seen it too many times. I've watched this movie before. I don't want to watch it again. Look, they don't have Char- I swear, they don't have Pricey?

04:31:19 Uh, he's usually the clutch one for Team Burger. We've seen it happen quite a few times this season. He's also going up against the Kraber. Sorry, Shaki has the Kraber. And bangs out Xiaokai here. Okay, they grab them. But Heroes, who were playing the building on the Cenote Cave side for the longest time, they managed to walk it in. Stunned by the Bang ult. And they'll take out the win. Okay, well, we're going to Game 9.

04:31:47 Couple more teams locking in their 50 points there and laying themselves up to match point. I mean, look, Team Burger, they didn't win. They took a second. So I guess the storyline, it's not quite being fulfilled, but another one. Another one. Bit of an anti-climax, really. I guess we just have to, you know, take a step back. It felt like, listen, I listened to the Ouija board and it said this was the game, but I didn't realize when it said this was the game, it meant this was the game.

04:32:17 Before the game. Like, this was the penultimate game. That's what they were trying to tell me, I think. I see. You called it there. Exactly. You know, our Matchpoint team's dropping like flies. And, uh, like you said, did our prayers for Team Burger become a reality? Because, uh, you know, usually we have, like, the caster's cursed. But I'm going to be calling it the caster's crutch. Um, because, you know what, that's what Team Burger needed. They didn't take out the win, but, you know, that puts them into Matchpoint eligibility.

04:32:45 Es wird sogar genug für die Heroes stehen. Sie waren gerade 32. Sie werden es ein bisschen dichter. Vielleicht nicht, weil sie nicht so viele Kill Points bekommen haben. Aber es ist ein bisschen verrückt von ihnen. Sie haben eher ein bisschen quiet gespielt.

04:33:04 In these recent matches, we haven't seen too much from Heroes, but taking out that win is something. And they just did it, actually, Elfish. Look at them, 53 there, Heroes, in at 7. So they just made it over there. Team Burger, of course, who we were praying for, have just pushed themselves further as well, just to add in amongst the mix. Yeah, KPG, Heroes, and Team Burger joining the pack after that game.

04:33:30 Und dann, ich weiß nicht, dass die Heroes nicht wirklich haben, wenn sie nicht gewonnen haben, also es ist ein guter Ding für sie, dass sie gewonnen haben. Akuma, VK Gaming ist einfach nicht so weit entfernt, also wenn es 1 mehr geht, können wir wahrscheinlich halte unserer Lobby aussehen, wenn wir 10 mehr gehen können.

04:33:49 In 8 teams with a chance to win. We've gone deeper than this. We have definitely gone deeper than this. I recall a time where I think in APAC South we might have gotten to 13 teams. That's the number that's sort of sticking in my head from a couple of years ago. But yeah, I think, look, you've got a lot of the teams that have been performing not only today but throughout the entire season that now have kind of got themselves.

04:34:15 into the match point eligibility like the only one really that you think is kind of missing out a little bit is boogie boarders and they've just been missing out all day long so it's kind of like well you know you can't you can't rightly say well we would like to see boogie boarders because we think that they could win because right now you can't really say you think they'd win a game at the moment as you know that's that's really harsh to say obviously but tonight has not been their night but any team right here that like if you were if i was to ask you which team's going to win the next game and you were just going to take a punt on any team it would be

04:34:44 Ja, ich bin ein bisschen glücklich.

04:35:09 I'm just glad I made myself another coffee. I had a feeling that we were going to head into another match, so I'm just getting myself fueled with caffeine. But what makes me a little bit happy is that, you know, Team Berger are now in and amongst the mix. You know, they had a little rocky start to, you know, split the split. We didn't see too much for them, but something has just slipped the switch in their mind and they have just been excelling.

04:35:31 um throughout the split and obviously today you know taking out a win um there what an exceptional win and you know a good call for the zone rotation for them um now like a second place as well so um it is definitely in the cards you know we've seen uh once on dumpling uh and i think it's bareclaw gaming have you know two wins today so why not team burger you know they could

04:35:52 We'll see you soon.

04:36:23 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

04:36:53 Get off.

04:36:55 Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit. Ich hab ihn mit.

Acht Teams kämpfen um den Sieg

04:39:03

04:39:03 And welcome back, everyone. You've just been witnessing the region who does not give up.

04:39:17 where everyone wants a chance to take the Matchpoint win. And if you're only just waking up and joining the Apex South action here, we are in the regional finals where teams must hit 50 points to be Matchpoint eligible. We now have eight teams who just need to take the win for a one-way ticket through to LAN. Elfish, we just saw Heroes take the win with Team Berger coming in second, making them Matchpoint eligible, you know, with some other heavy-hitting teams.

04:39:45 Ja, ich meine, die Heavy-Hitting Teams ist eine Sache und ich glaube, wir haben über sie ein bisschen gesprochen, weil sie waren, natürlich, sie waren die Teams, die wirklich quick zu machen, um, die Matchpoint-Eligibility zu haben. Jeder kennt Wonton, Dumpling, Tom Yum Kung, Burger, Legends, etc. Diese sind die Teams, die wir überlegen, ob sie gewonnen haben, oder nicht. Die Teams, die ich jetzt möchte, sind die, die jetzt sind, sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind die, da sind

04:40:09 Ja. Ja.

04:40:38 They were not on your list, and they're probably still not on your list, because the way that they do that is literally to win this lobby. That's the only way, pretty much, that these guys make it. You can do the math, and I think for Bearclaw Gaming, it might technically be possible if some Witch Nanigans go on, but realistically speaking, you have to win this lobby. And now we've got two of those teams that might be able to make that Cinderella run, and I think that's really cool.

04:41:00 Yeah, they've absolutely climbed their way up that ladder. You know, like you said, Bearclaw Gaming were one of the first teams to hit the match point eligibility. And, you know, they took out a win as a little duo. I remember that game and having the Gibby drop down. And, you know, you thought it was all over for them. But they've just been absolutely fighting today, no matter what they have had thrown at them. Obviously, Heroes as well, joining in the mix of the match eligible teams too. You know, they're sitting about ninth overall in the leaderboard. So this is massive for them.

04:41:29 Also, um, to get above and hit, you know, one of those eight spots. Um, we're going to head ourselves back to World's Edge, um, for, for our, I think it's game number nine. Um, so, you know, we're going to see, uh, I guess, uh, a little bit more action from them, um, potentially, um, you know.

04:41:47 We've obviously been keeping a close eye on poor Boogie Boarders as well. They've been having such a tough time through this. I'm hoping or praying that something happens for them in this game because, yeah, a lot of other teams are creeping up. Well, yeah, exactly. It's like you said, if Boogie Boarders don't get anything done, there's a chance they miss out. We haven't, again, we've got to reiterate, we haven't done the math. We can't 100% clarify that until...

04:42:09 The results at the end of the day. But if you're only getting one point for the day, it's not really looking too good. So yeah, they are running out of time because at some point someone's going to win something. That's it. Well, we have eight teams ready to go. We're going to be keeping a close eye on them as we hit match number nine. Let's head back over to World's Edge.

04:42:30 Right, back into it indeed. Ain't no rest for the wicked. And how long is it going to take, Gino? And what's your bets? I said last game, I thought it was going to happen. But what I really meant was, I thought it was going to happen this game. What do you think? Yeah, I guess at the start of the day, I said wonton dumpling in six. But clearly, I misspoke as we... Whoa! We've got some fun going on. Let's worry about that later. wonton dumpling are taking on...

04:42:57 Legends Gaming, und ich meine Legends Gaming haben SURPRISE DROPPED. Was? Auf WANTON DUMPLING? Warum? Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube... Ich glaube...

04:43:25 Ich weiß nicht, ob es ein Konversation hat, in der Lobby Chat ist, weil das manchmal passiert ist. Ja, das stimmt. Ja, das ist ein guter Punkt. Ja, das ist ein guter Punkt. Ich weiß nicht, dass wir einfach nur ein Konversation haben, weil das unsere WinCon ist. Und ich kann es nicht sagen, dass es ein Konversation ist. Ich weiß nicht, dass es ein Konversation ist. Ja, aber du bist right. So, ich weiß nicht, dass es ein Konversation hat, weil Berger nicht in Skyhook ist. Ich weiß nicht, wo die...

04:43:55 Actually, no, the ship went from south to north, I think, right? Um, so I guess there's, like, there's a tiny possibility that Berger could have seen that, uh, you know, no one dropped Siphon and said, hey, look, if you guys don't want to take it, we will. Um, but yeah, either way, that's massive for a couple of reasons, right? One, because the ring is pulling south, and Wanton Dumpling now actually have a great chance, um, to grab this. They do not...

04:44:24 Ja, ist es noch ein Ring auf der Thermal Station? Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Sie haben eine Servo Beacon. Ja, sie haben eine Servo Beacon, aber ich weiß nicht. So, um... Ja, die Ring ist zu ihnen. So, wenn sie sich da ein paar Leute befinden, dann ja.

04:44:46 So definitely a possibility for a good game for them. As well as, hey, like even boogie boarders, honestly, who, you know, they got hot zone. They are moving in the right direction. They got two survey beacons on the way as well. So yeah, look, potentially a chance for them to redeem themselves.

04:45:08 Hmm, KPG ist in der Zone bereits, so ist Team Berger. All die Matchpoint-Eligible Teams werden sich selbst set up. Nice, and early on in the piece. Oh, White ist bei Team Berger, und sie sind in Lava-Sypher. Das ist ein bisschen strange. Sie sind auf den Weg.

04:45:33 Ja, keep going gaming. You know, they've just pinged the Survey Beacon that is in that building as Orwell.

Spannungsgeladene Momente und strategische Spielzüge im neunten Spiel

04:45:59

04:45:59 So we get the many Evo upgrades just get some some good Knowledge and well actually dead come on. Okay, they're gonna push it. Yeah, okay So we're watching this now. They've taken out the other side of the house here. I Think they'll go down to the lower house. That would be probably the smarter move here from outside. Yes, they do they leave that one to a PG So yeah, now they can both easily cause just meanwhile x and y they've moved backwards now to take on mty black

04:46:28 All righty, well game nine things getting a bit silly up in here

04:46:56 Ja, ich bin schon wieder. Ja, manchmal haben die Spieler zu spielen 12 in der Zeit, aber sie normalerweise werden inzwischen gebrauchen. Ja, genau. Ja, das ist etwas. All right, well, look, ah, you know, things are getting silly. Ah, Berg, you're getting silly. Let's listen in and check out if that's the case. I mean, fuck, Main Prior Way is your side, I think.

04:47:25 We just can't let anyone evac Highground Horizon queue up, if for some reason they're playing Horizon. Not an actual site, except for 2x. I wish I had a site Sharky, you're a privilege bro. Mmm, nah. They're flying in. What? They're flying to... Witches? You mean pre-building? Mhm.

04:47:53 Ja, da sind wir in den Bleachers. Ich bin 7-1. Was sind wir? 19-2. 12-4 in Phoenix. Was? Ich kann sie nicht mehr. Ich kann sie nicht mehr. Ich kann sie nicht mehr. Ich kann sie nicht mehr. Kann ich ein Batshacki? Nein. Das ist fucked. Ich bin 12-2.

04:48:22 Okay, well, there you go. They're getting a little bit silly.

04:48:40 Ja, havin' fun. Not much happening really for Team Burger at the moment. I guess that's fair. Acknowledging their privilege at least. Yeah, they're just making sure that they're locking things down, which is all good. Standing right on top of Bearclaw Gaming, who are in the train tunnel underneath them. And I'm real surprised to see that that zone is gonna continue to shrink over the top of Thermal Station. Look, I think if it doesn't happen here, I'm gonna be a little bit surprised. MDYY are inside of Thermal Station. You've got Wonton Dumpling already across as well.

04:49:09 Like, if it pulls back down south, for whatever reason, KPG are going to be in a good spot to play from. So, it sort of feels like wherever we end up going, we do have at least one team that's got that win potential.

04:49:22 Okay, yeah, dude, what has happened? They maybe ran into X and Y, I think. Yeah, we've actually picked up all kills so far this game. Total start for them. I guess we, yeah, we saw the first three. Maybe doing some gatekeeping over here, but now they've got VK Gaming on their case as well. Who obviously wanted to find a team and want to beat them because that means they're on match point.

04:49:48 Ich habe auch noch ein Fisch-to-Fryer. Ich kann nicht nur auf das, wenn ich das nicht mehr so mache, dass du gewinnen kannst, denn sonst ist es immer noch eine Chance. Wie viele sind wir nach dem Spiel? 8 oder so? 8. Ja, 8 Matchpoint-teams.

04:50:06 Ja, wenn wir zu einem anderen Spiel werden, dann wird es wahrscheinlich 10 oder 11 sein. Ja, es ist wirklich gut. Es war ein Lobby, ich glaube, das wir gemacht haben. Was ist das letzte Jahr? Ich glaube, wir haben 13. Ist das richtig? Ich glaube, wir haben noch mehr als ein Lobby. Wirklich? Es ist nicht so viele, aber ich glaube, es ist gut.

04:50:31 Oh, ich würde mich überrascht, wenn es wieder passiert ist, ehrlich zu sein. Es ist eine solche Nights. Ein Raver in der Hand von Lightning Unicorn könnte helfen in das. Das Heads Down.

04:50:46 Es wird Serenity versuchen ihren Weg vorwärts gegen Akuma, wo... Ich habe nur ein Mitglied auf dem BOTTOM der Brücke. Es ist Krusader, der sich auslöscht aus dem Kampf. Ich glaube, ich glaube, dass Serenity nicht wissen, dass sie nicht aufwärts sind. Interessant zu hören, wie Serenity ging über dieses Mal, so wir müssen uns in den Präten und sehen, was sie denken.

04:51:11 Das ist eine neue Team! Kann wir gehen? Kann wir gehen? Kann wir gehen? Kann wir gehen? Kann wir gehen? Kann wir gehen? Kann ich gehen?

04:51:31 Ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin

04:51:50 Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr. Ich kann nicht mehr.

04:52:24 Let's go, let's go far enough that way. The team should go left.

04:52:34 Alright, well, once again, a bit of a non-eventful Serenity. They do have to make a little bit of a cheeky cross, but realistically speaking, not too much happening in this game. This is feeling like it's going to be one that's actually quite climactic in the end. We've still got 17 teams alive. They're all going to be trying to dump their way into Thermal Station. It's going to be busy. Yeah, actually, just after you say that, AGL actually popped dog and start pushing up onto...

04:53:00 uh, Serenity, but there's uh, I think it's just about the time where we're gonna start kicking off here, cause as you can see, X and Y are also getting into it with VK Gaming, seemingly getting the better of them. Um, Serenity do eventually finish off AGL, but uh, do they reset in time for Akuma, who are coming at them next? Guess we'll see that one. Happy days for VK Gaming at the moment.

04:53:29 Zoneshift ist nicht zu weit entfernt. 20 Sekunden zu können. VK Gaming sind wirklich gegen die Wallen. Sie haben einen langen Rund zu machen. Wir haben viele Teams zu sehen und nicht viel zu cover. Das ist ein Bad zu sein und ich denke VK Gaming wird auf den letzten Legen für dieses Mal.

04:53:46 We're down to Back Dermal, by the way. Heroes, another matchpoint-eligible team. Down and out. So Wonton Dumpling, who are occupying that Back Village. Pretty much all by themselves at the moment. Great spot. Outside. They're looking like the team to beat. Also pretty good. Boogie Boarders. Anybody's riding the wave in chat? In a decent spot. They're in Dorito House. Yeah, tough day for Boogie Boarders, that's for sure. Hasn't been much swell.

04:54:16 Es ist halt das manchmal. Das macht ihr eigenes Spaß. Team Burger! Ich habe das gemacht. Ein bisschen busier als wenn wir das mit Team Burger hatten mit Team. Wir haben es schon ziemlich chillt, aber wir werden für ihre Territory sein.

04:54:34 Still feels like we're in a bit of a holding pattern as pretty much every team has now made their rotation into that next zone and as you can hear there's not really a whole lot of fighting going on around the map so we'll have to wait for that next ring to really go anywhere but as you said we're going to a back thermal and that is wonton dumpling that they're the only team really that have any sizable control of that next zone

04:54:58 They have just been gifted. Yeah, Once On Dumbling have just been gifted. I mean, they've put themselves in this position, obviously, to, you know, to be on match point. They've played very well today. They're at the top of the leaderboard, but it's kind of up to the other teams now to really push in and take this game away from them. That's pretty hard to do when you've got someone with the skill of Gugu holding that down. Beclaw, they had their chance and didn't quite take it here. And now Rudine, the good gas grenade out of the core stick.

04:55:24 But, uh, you know, barely any time to try and pop this, uh, phoenix you can see in the back of his kit here. He needs to pull it off, because, uh, he's pretty damn low, but finding a spot, well...

04:55:37 Das ist eine Backdubschritte.

04:55:56 Yes, this next circle close is going to be crazy. Keep going gaming as a duo.

04:56:19 Again, they're MP-eligible. They have moved right into the middle of this next zone. Setting up with Watson, actually. But they are only a duo. Team Berger, now making their move. This is such an important rotation. They're going to try and play under. Oh, I don't know if I love this. It can be a good spot, but you're also very vulnerable if people pick the right angles out against you.

04:56:42 Well, they've got the smokes down. No one's really shooting at them at the moment. Might be a genius play. We'll have to wait and see whether or not that Galaxy Brain is going to pay off SWQ dropping their Alternator Pylon, but I'm not sure that's going to keep them alive here. Zone's pushing its way in and so are teams. Have a look at that killfeed. SWQ outlining Unicorn as well as Springfire all gone. And there's going to be more to follow as the Dominos will continue to fall. Teams still have to make their way in.

04:57:10 Ja, als du sagst, Serenity jetzt.

04:57:39 Renate is the only team. Only team. Only team left. And they're in, you would have to say, the worst position of any team as well. They're still out on the eastern side of the zone. They have to cross the lava. I mean, they've got good loot. They're probably checking for some survival items at the moment in these boxes. There are none. They have not picked up an evac tower. So as you say, yes, they probably have to cross the lava.

04:58:09 Not fun.

04:58:11 I think this is where it ends. It has to end here, surely. I mean, it would be an absolute miracle for Serenity to win the game from this position. So, who's it going to be based on the positionings that we've got? I mean, right now, you might even be able to argue Team Burger if they can keep their head under water, but that is something that will remain to be seen. First of all, let's focus on whether or not Serenity can get across and keep this lobby potentially still alive. They're going to go for it. They're going to jump and they've got no other choices.

04:58:39 I'm actually copying any shots, so... Wow. Okay. As far as Crosses go, that's not too bad. They go early. They're underneath KPG. This is important, because remember, KPG are a duo. If they work this out, and of course they should, they've got the scans from Bugi. They take that spot off, then maybe they can even steal the Gen away. This could be huge for Serenity. Anyway, MBY White, they're getting themselves into an engagement against Team Vergar, who...

04:59:06 A little worse for wear themselves, but mtyy really struggling in this one. It doesn't even look like really Team Berger will want to take that fight, but they kind of need to. They're down to blues. They're going to fight on multiple fronts as well. Not going gaming as the duo. They don't want to do too much either.

04:59:23 They can just let the zone kill them, right? I mean, it's only Phaedra left alive, but he's managed to take out Sharky. That's not good. I think Serenity might win. It's absolutely possible here, because Wonton Dumpling are underneath KPG, and I feel like those two teams, you know, they can grief each other, and then Serenity can just sweep in and clean up with the triple reds. Pricey is by himself.

04:59:46 A couple of rogue elements here left in this last circle, but as Serenity hunt him down, a scan will probably reveal his position before too long here. Yeah, he's been found. I was gonna say Pricey is the Clutchmaster for Team Burg, but not this time around, and... Ah, I mean, Serenity's to lose. It is matchpoint... Sorry, it's match 10 on offer. They're the only matchpoint non-eligible team, and they...

05:00:15 They're in the best spot possible. They're inching closer towards this end circle here. You can see there, they've got a lot of space to play. Walls, they've got plenty of death boxes if there was anything that they needed. They've also got two ultimates. I don't think they've been able to find another alt excel to get the bang alt back online, sadly.

05:00:36 But there's potentially time for that to come up as well, because he's got the Gold Helm. They have shuffled that across to Legacy to try and speed that process up, but they do have the Gas Grenade. They do have Blood. The Bloodhound Ultimate here. So much going Serenity's way. I'm not sure what the endgame really is for Wanton Dumpling and KPG right now. KPG just want to hold on to the high ground.

05:01:02 Womson Dumpling, could they wrap right? And go maybe around the rock while KPG is being harassed by Serenity? I think that might be the only play that they've got. Leapfrogging forward with the barrels now, Jesko. Trying to buy even more and more space here for Serenity. Holding that utility. All of a sudden, KPG is going down first. This is not as good here for Serenity. They want the other two teams to fight. Can they force them into each other?

05:01:31 Oh mein Gott! Oh mein Gott! Oh mein Gott!

Historischer Sieg von Serenity und Matchpoint-Analyse

05:01:56

05:01:56 Okay, that's history. That is history being made here. A tenth game. I mean, I feel like you maybe could have predicted this just off the start alone, Lace, because it took so long for anyone to even get to Matt's point that we've had less chances than you would usually have in this situation, right?

05:02:18 So, yeah, I was just looking at the stats before. A Game 9 is the most we've ever had in APAC South. We have now officially hit a Game 10 in the longest-running Matchpoint series we've seen down under.

05:02:51 Ja, der einzige!

05:03:45 No, I mean, yeah, it was hard. They were on the low ground. They basically had to climb. They probably would have gotten shut down by KPG if they tried to do that, honestly. And as we have a look at the scoreboard here, 11 teams on match point. Akuma just make it in. VK behind. The other thing I think that really hits me about this scoreboard, Lace, is that the longer the series goes on, the harder it is.

05:04:09 uh, to change your fate, right? The more, the further apart these scores will get and the harder it is to actually jump up, um, spots on the leaderboard, right? So you look at a team like Boogie Boarders, they are now 10 points behind just getting one extra point, right? Like, a huge game, 20 points, uh, might actually do it for them. They would literally need to, like, drop a nuke, um, just to last one more game here and maybe, uh, increase their chances of going to land. Um, but...

05:04:38 Ja, es ist... Even in der Mitte der Bühne, es gibt noch viele Leute, die nicht mehr zusammenhängen sind, weil wir so viele Spiele haben.

05:05:37 Let's go. Yeah, you think we should go for the record? Should we take that off APAC North? We usually beat them in FFL. Maybe we can take them out in a number of matchpoint final games as well.

05:09:51 Welcome back, everyone, where we are witnessing history in the making here in Apex South. We have 11 teams with match point eligibility. You know, we thought we were going to see the end of it all in match number nine, with only Serenity being the only team not match point eligible. But, you know, of course, we just want to keep it going and Serenity take out the win to just keep the games going.

05:10:19 Ja, ich denke, ich habe gesagt, das ist, wenn Serenity wird, wenn Serenity gewinnen können. Sie hatten zu kämpfen gegen die Krossen, die ihnen die Krossen gewonnen hat. Aber zu even gete Krossen, als unscathed, als sie es war, war ein absoluter Miracle. Und dann haben sie gewonnen.

05:10:46 Against like what? It was like five teams total or maybe six teams and all of them were Matchpoint eligible except for Serenity who then became the people's champions to keep us going for one more game into game ten. That is starting to get a little bit crazy. But look, it might not end here to be quite honest with you. There's still some good teams that are playing in this lobby that haven't made it to Matchpoint that we know can win in a lobby like this. I mean Dreamfire is one of them.

05:11:12 They won the last regular season lobby of the split, so it's not as if they couldn't put a win out of their hat here. I mean, boogie boarders, like, they've just gone completely missing all day. Their confidence is absolutely cooked, but they're still a very good roster as well. So those I see are two key threats going into this game that might still force us through to another game.

05:11:30 Elfish, I'm going to need you to stop with that. You know, we talked about the caster's curse. Now we've got the caster's crutch and everything that you keep saying is coming of reality. And it's just absolutely insane. So now that you've just put boogie boarders on the map here, I'm sure that they're going to win Gino. It's just going to happen. We're just going to carry on into the AM at this point. Oh, I believe it. I completely believe it, man.

05:11:57 If there's a time. If there's a time for Boogie Boarders to show up. I mean, it kind of feels like they've got nothing to lose now, right? So, yeah, why not? Why not show up? Exactly right. Let's head on over, guys. This is match number 10 where anything can happen. Let's take it away, guys.

Strategische Hot Drops und unerwartete Wendungen in Spiel 10

05:12:27

05:12:27 All right, well, straight into things, and it is game number 10. I'm going to be honest, I didn't think we would be at this point today. We might not be today for that much longer. There's six more minutes of today, so this will end tomorrow, basically. Well, jeez, what a day we've had, but who's to say it's going to end right here? Indeed. There's new guarantees, Elfish.

05:12:56 Not in life, not in Game 10 Match Point Finals either, honestly. Ja, indeed. Well, look, I want to see what's going on with Legend Gaming right now, because I can see Wonton Dumpling and Legend Gaming are both in a reverse. You know what I wonder if they're doing? I think they might actually just be Hot Drop pracking. Like, they might actually be contest pracking against one another. Because they know, they both know that they're going to go to left. So they're thinking...

05:13:23 Wir wollen unsere Position halten. Wir wollen practice. Und das ist die beste Team zu practice gegen. Mal sehen, was Legends denken.

05:13:45 Let's just see how that contest was going at the star. We didn't quite get it. Once on Dumpling, they won, but at what cost Elfish? Because MDY Black turned up immediately after, and are now chasing down the last member, Jackie Chan. Looks like he's actually going to get out, and because they dropped with Conduit, does potentially have a chance here to bring that back up and get the reses.

05:14:11 Ja, ich denke, ich bin eigentlich auf, ich denke, mit meinem Theory zu sagen, dass wir beide zu landen sind, dass wir beide zu landen werden, dass wir unser, äh, unser, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh,

05:14:37 Ja!

05:14:53 Und Jacky-Chan ist der letzte Mal für Wonson Dumpling, so... Ich bin nicht sicher, dass er das Game solo wird. Ich meine, es ist... Wenn es etwas leidens auf Game 11 ist, dann ist es die Matchpoint-Eligible-Teams, die sich in den Start-Eich-Other und die beiden auskennen. Ja. Oh mein Gott. Oh, wir losin' es. Wir losin' es.

05:15:15 Es geht um, es geht um einen langen Tag an dieser Stelle, aber Bearclaw Gaming wird glücklich sein, denn sie werden immer wieder denken, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst, du wirst.

05:15:33 Wundernst du, wenn du dich so mad bist, wenn du das Team in 8th-Place bist? Weil, wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2nd wirst, dann gehst du. Aber wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2nd wirst, dann gehst du. Aber wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2nd wirst, dann gehst du. Aber wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2nd wirst, dann gehst du. Aber wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2nd wirst, dann gehst du. Aber wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2st wirst, dann gehst du. Aber wenn du diese Leute in 1st oder 2st wirst.

05:15:56 Ja, also fair. Ich denke, das macht complete sense. So, wir sind in Overlook-Zone. Ich weiß nicht, ob wir eine Chance haben, mit all der Schmerzen zu sehen, was das zu sehen ist. Aber es ist sehr gut, Overlook-Zone. Ich weiß nicht, dass wir ein paar Zonen enden aus den Rocken, nach dem Overlook-Zone.

05:16:25 und die Tower, die wir jetzt sehen sind. Um, so ein paar Teams posten da oben. Du hast Serenity, um, die... Ich weiß nicht, dass das alles passiert. Ja, sie haben. Oh mein Gott, sie sind jetzt auf der 3rd spot. Ja, sie haben. Ja, sie haben. Oh mein Gott, sie sind auf der 3rd spot. Ja, sie haben. Ja, sie haben. Ja, sie haben so viele Spieler. Ja, sie haben so viele Leute gemacht. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele. Ja, sie haben so viele.

05:16:54 Ich weiß, dass sie da sind, aber sie haben einfach gemacht, aber sie haben einfach gemacht. Das ist wirklich für eine andere Spiel. Ja. Das ist die Frage, warum Black ist out. Das ist die Zip-Line auf der Leitaboard. Das macht nicht viel, wirklich. Es ist ein oder zwei gute Spiels und man geht von einem Non-Packen auf den Scoreboarden, um zu der Top-End zu der Top-End.

05:17:15 Although, it is becoming harder and harder to have an impact in only one game, when we've got so many that have been played. And that's like, that's the issue now for teams like Boogie Boarders, who we've obviously highlighted a lot tonight. This is Cheeky from MDYY, being a little bit sneaky down in the train tunnel. I mean, they already killed us. Hmm. Overall, right there, second.

05:17:40 Incredible consistency from them, haven't changed their comp up all day. Bang, Caustic, and Crypto being picked for every single match, regardless of Stormpoint or Worlds Edge location. 26 kills on LD today, by the way. Wow. Damn. Oh my god, that actually might be the most in the lobby.

05:18:07 Nearly 3 a game. Wooh!

05:18:18 Es ist ein ziemlich stabiler Rotation für die meisten Teams jetzt. Wir haben noch ein paar über die Landslide und Staging, die noch nicht mehr zu gehen. AGL ist ein bisschen slow, aber es ist ein bisschen zu kommen aus Skyhook. Aber das ist die Natur des Beasts, wenn du dich bist, wenn du dich bist, wenn du dich bist, dass du dich weiterverläst, dass du dich nicht weiterverläst. Du hast ein bisschen mehr Lootung, du hast ein bisschen mehr von einem Look-Around, so du kannst dich aufhören. Du kannst dich nicht aufhören, wenn du dich aufhören kannst. Du kannst dich nicht aufhören, wenn du dich nicht aufhören kannst, wenn du dich schnellst.

05:18:48 Just by nature of having to travel further, not going to be one of the first teams into the zone, so. Gotta find your advantages elsewhere.

05:19:00 Ich fühle mich ein bisschen für Warmonster Firebird. Sie sind einfach in diese Eterne Hell, wo sie einfach nur noch spielen, dass sie nicht mehr werden können. Ich meine, es ist gut practice. Ich denke, das ist die Weise, dass du es, richtig? Wenn du ein Team gehst, das ist wahrscheinlich die Weise, dass du es denkst. Aber es ist jetzt ziemlich lange für sie jetzt. Und sie haben sich schon ein paar Mal gemacht, um das Composition zu machen.

05:19:28 You know, obviously you can see even now outsiders are going for something a little bit unorthodox as well. So Zoom pull back towards the tunnel and you can see a couple of teams actually maybe getting into it in the tunnel. You've got outside down there as well as Lightning Unicorn. But certainly most of the teams clustered up into Overlook.

05:19:54 But it won't be a rocks ending like we saw those other times. So we are getting a little bit of a change up here. Nice. Nice to have some variety.

05:20:05 Just like we've had a variety of match winners over the last, I don't know, what, eight wins? I don't know, has anyone won two games today, actually? That's a good question. I'm really starting to forget things which happened today, so... Actually, sorry, it's 12.01 yesterday. Things that happened yesterday. Team Burger, out! Okay.

05:20:28 Ah, BearCoreGaming. Ja, natürlich. Ja, natürlich. Aber von dem, all I'm looking at hier ist... Ja, jeder ist nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1. Ja, jeder hat nur 1-1 hat nur 1-1.

05:20:56 Er, nicht die meisten unorthodoxen Figs. Ich meine, hey!

05:21:11 Ich fühle mich, 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 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 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 hast, du hast,

05:21:40 Ja, ein langer Break, als wenn es ein Match Day war, aber... Wir haben ja, ich erinnere das. Ja, ich bin einfach nur durch das heute. Admin... Admin... Admin... Admin told me, you know, wenn es 99-games geht, es geht zu 99-games. Das ist... das ist was wir machen. Honestly, fair enough, weil es die kinder Tage kann wirklich blowout werden. So, wenn ihr dann ein 20-Minute Break in der Mitte ist, dann ist es ein extra langer Tage.

Mentale Stärke und überraschende Wendungen im Finale

05:22:09

05:22:09 Und ich denke, dass es auch ein Element ist, wie ein Test ist. Es ist wie, welche von diesen Teams wirklich ist mentally resilient genug? Das ist supposed to be the hardest Lobby you're gonna play. Es ist nicht supposed to be easy. Okay, so...

05:22:24 Du hast wirklich zu zeigen, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du,

05:22:53 ...that I'm going to get through today are going to have earned it, right? And as Asia hits this ring console, he's going to get some great news. The zone has pulled back down on top of the tunnel. And that gives them a chance. It doesn't mean it's going to be easy to push through Lightning Unicorn... ...who are above them in the tunnel, but... ...they're currently running with purple, purple, red. Lightning Unicorn...

05:23:17 Still very far away from Triple, uh, well, on Triple Blues, right? And not anywhere close to Purple. So, um, there's a chance here for Tom Young-Kung to shove up through the tunnel, take that spot, and then be in a wonderful spot coming to, say, Zone 5. Um, this is so good for them.

05:23:36 Und als Sie können sehen jetzt, wie wir jetzt auf die Frage stellen? VK Gaming, SWQ, Warmonster, Firebird, AGL, Boogie Boarders, Dreamfire. So ein paar Namen, das kann definitiv werden hier gewinnen. Aber mehr als immer, es ist sicher, dass wir es hier in Game 10 geben werden.

05:23:55 Ja, das stimmt. Lightning Unicorn. Ich würde sagen, Lightning Unicorn jetzt hat Pole Position, nur in der map Position. Was ich am liebten und an appreciating von Tom Yum Kung ist, dass sie durch das Tunnel mit Lightning Unicorn gehen, sie sind zumindest auf der Leften Tunnel zu tun. Das ist das, was sie tun tun zu tun. Das ist das, was sie tun tun zu tun. So es ist, dass sie so far aus Tom Yum Kung spielen. Ich glaube, Gaming ist das andere Team, dass...

05:24:23 Ich sollte sagen, dass sie natürliche erreicht haben, um es zu Matchpoint zu machen. Und sie sind auch einer dieser Team, die die W.A.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.V.E.A.

05:24:39 Serenity trying to take up position. Up here. Might be thinking to themselves, ooh, we found a good spot. And they don't have this own info. They don't know that they're going to have to move here. So they might have lost someone. They're nothing.

05:24:56 APG. Not on the silos, but close to them. And then you've got Tom Yum-Kung making this very important push now. Lightning Unicorn with the EMP. They've got the grenades ready. Is that enough to push them back? Some good prowler shots to open this up. This could be a lobby-defining push from Tom Yum-Kung. They have taken a lot of damage on the initial engagement, but they found a chance to reset. They certainly have the shield advantage over Lightning Unicorn, who are running triple blues.

05:25:25 Und für jetzt, es scheint, dass sie einfach nur auf den Boden spielen. Und die Lightning Unicorn zu spielen. Vielleicht habe ich lied. Kamyang-Kung ist zu haben, ein bisschen zu spüren.

05:25:43 Slow and steady going, really. You've got to be sort of aware of every single angle as you make your way up that tower. But jump back over to Dreamfire, who are still hunting for some points. They're only on 36 for the day, which is quite poor considering. And again, there's a big gap above them, right? There's 10 until they can move up even one placement spot in the leaderboard. So it's getting tough out here now in Dreamfire.

05:26:12 Sie waren nicht in eine Position wie Boogie Boarder, sondern nur ein paar Punkte, sondern ein paar Punkte.

05:26:26 Das ist eine der wenigen Team, die das hier bleibt. Wir haben 36 Punkte, ich meine... Oh! Okay, sorry, ich habe etwas gesehen. Ich habe mich auf die Map, hier. Ich habe die Boogie Board in einem guten Spot, nicht nur in einem guten Spot, sie sind in einem guten Spot, sie sind in einem Double Kraber, an der Moment. Oh, das ist kind of gross.

05:26:51 Well, Dreamfire is not heading in the direction of Boogie Boarders, which they will be happy about. They've actually set themselves up about as far south as they possibly can. There's one of those pavers on Pan Up. And the other one on Rafty. So that, I don't know how they managed to do that. It's not like they've got a lifeline on the team, right?

05:27:13 Und wir sehen viele interessante Picks kommen, wie Maggie, Moor Krypto, Rafe.

05:27:37 Okay, okay, don't tell me. Do not tell me this is the one Cookie Boys win.

05:28:01 I mean, they definitely can. I mean, they're in a killer spot, right? We said two Krabbers, and not only that, but everyone above them. Every team from the north has just died. Boogie boarders have essentially this entire field to themselves. We've got AGL down the bottom. There's no shot. Lightning Unicorn. They got taken out. Not taken out, but definitely dealt with by Tom Young-Kung, who are now trying to push up to APG.

05:28:28 Und wenn wir die Top-Gear sehen, welche dieser Teams sind Matchpoint-Eligible sind, dann gibt es nur zwei! Out of fünf! Und sie sind auch noch zwei! Und sie sind auch noch zwei! Ist Tom Yum-Kung und KPG mit einem anderen? Ich meine... Das ist, ich denke... Wenn ich mich auf das Geld hätte, würde ich sagen... Ich würde sagen, wir sind jetzt noch eine andere Spiel. Tom Yum-Kung, Aja auf dem floor, nicht zu gut über die Dinge. KPG... Sie haben nur ein Triple Blues.

05:28:57 Und sie sind low auf Ammo also. Also, Lightning Unicorn ist endlich zu kommen und versuchen mit Tom Yum Pool zu lösen. Aber das hat sich in KPG zu verletzten. Das wäre der Moment für die Fife. Sie sind pre-occupiert mit dem Fossi. Oh mein Gott. Ich meine, sie sind close. Sie sind 91 dmg weg von Triple Red.

05:29:25 KPG are pushing up towards them. They did some good damage. Fasti was a little bit too far forward. Struggling to get that health back up now. Does survive the Rolling Thunder. But they need to take out KPG quickly enough that Tom Yum-Kung aren't going to be an issue. The other two teams. Tom Yum-Kung got their reset. Now on Match Point, right? Oh no! Rack is gone!

05:29:47 Pana with the Kraber, unable to land a shot. This is where it starts to get critical for Bookie Boarders that these two individuals can continue to step up. They need to get as many points as possible. Still sitting only 17 before the lobby. Is that enough to stay inside the top 8? Not sure, but they have their destiny in their own hands. They can force us through to a game number 11. Tom Yum Kung have finished off Keep Going Gaming and it is now their opportunity.

05:30:13 ...to finish the day right here, right now. And surely those stewards, Tom Yong-Kung, are forcing their way through to the victory as the champions of Game 10 of the Apex South Regional Finals. And they will take the top spot.

05:30:32 Wow, even with everything going their way in that last circle, boogie boarders still can't cut through there. Gravers Online, it's really all for Tom Young-Kung. An incredible effort from them. I mean, you know, we saw they had to work their way through the tunnel. There was that surprise attempt there by KPG, sorry, Lightning Unicorn coming from behind them, the ghost of the vault.

05:30:59 But in the end, they come out on top, and we finish it, finally Lace, in game. Yeah, I almost thought Elfish was gonna call it again with a Boogie Borders win. You know, they were looking quite strong, their city, in that zone. And like you said, Double Craver in their hands as well. And they were hitting out huge damage on, I think it was Keep Going Gaming. But yeah, like you said, Tom Young-Kun were doing...

05:31:28 in der Tunnel zu kommen, um, und einfach ablöblich, um es zu verletzen, um es zu verletzen.

05:31:35 Um, you know, that was match number 10. It's been completed. You know, we were making history here in Apex South where we, you know, had 11 teams with match point eligibility. Um, you know, we thought we were going to see the end of it all in match number nine, but Serenity pulled the plug on that. And then, yeah, I almost thought Boogie Boarders were going to, you know, join in on that action too. But yeah, Tom Young-Kung just, uh, absolutely obliterated Ziki here. Just absolutely doing work for the team. Um, you know,

05:32:05 Und das war ein tolles Spiel von Zicky. Ich glaube, sie sind 5th am Ende des Jahres. Und ja, sie haben sich jetzt absoluten Annihieren dieses ganze Zeit, Genome. Es hat ein großer Tag für unsere TIE-Boys. Und wir haben schon erwähnt, dass sie schon auf Land haben. Sie haben das Qualität zu haben. Und sie haben sich ziemlich verdammt...

05:32:31 Pretty damn good the whole way through. So as we get a sense of our final standings today, it's a win for Tom Young-Kung.

05:32:40 Not in, you know, with the most points. That glory goes to Wonton Dumpling, who will secure 1st place overall in the split. Congratulations to them. That's an amazing effort. And then going down from there, MDY White most likely punching their ticket through Serenity with a massive shove to not only keep the lobby alive, but keep themselves, you know, remember they were down in 9th, which might not have put them through. I think 4th probably will.

05:33:08 Bearclaw Gaming, we said they probably needed to have a first. A Valiant effort from them, but I think they go down. Team Burger there, 73 most likely going through. Legends we know already are through. And beyond that, it's up for grabs. There's, what did I say, three or four spots there maybe? I think there's definitely another three or four spots here that we are going to have to wait to find out and see who makes it overseas.

05:33:34 Exactly right, Elfish. How are you feeling at looking at this, going into all the action that we've just seen today? I'm sitting here and I can't even riddle any sorts of maths to see who's going to slot in those spots there. I guess it's just a waiting game now. We've been waiting about 10 matches worth to see who sort of takes out those eight spots to land. But yeah, how are you feeling, I guess, after these 10 matches?

05:34:01 Ich bin ein bisschen schockt, dass wir so close sind, dass wir so weitermachen sind. Das war so winnable für Boogie Boarders auch. Ich kann's... Ich bin in Schambles an diesem Zeitpunkt. Ich meine, das ist wirklich was passiert. Ich will dir was, um... Ich hätte nicht erwähnt, dass ich hier hier auf 1.15 Uhr an... ...Monday morgens. Jetzt... ...warte Apex still. Ich dachte... Ich dachte... Ich denke... ...7, 8 game day... ...we might... Das ist wahrscheinlich wo wir sind.

05:34:29 Ja, genau wie gesagt, es ist einfach nicht möglich, zu sagen, wer es definitiv weitergeht, zu sagen, wer es definitiv weitergeht. Aber ja, wir haben nicht lange zu warten, apparently. Ja. So, unsere Region hat viele E-Sports- und Dark-Zero-Teams, die wir für Apex-South haben, um uns zu lösen 8 Spots zu landen, und um die Preis für unsere Region.

05:34:54 The time has finally arrived for us to witness greatness in the making. Oh boy, Gino.

05:35:02 Das ist unser Top 8 und ein paar surprises hier. Boogie Boarders do eigentlich make it through by a couple of points. Maybe I was a little more worried about them than I should have been there. Up at 89. So, I mean, they picked up, what was that, 3 points or something, but it was still enough. I guess it was such a competitive format today that just a few points does tick them over. This is probably one of the lower cutoffs that we have actually seen.

05:35:33 Ja, das ist, das ist crazy. Ich meine, look, Boogie Boarders, ihr seid right, wenn sie eigentlich, ich denke, ich denke, wenn sie in 19th sind, sie würden schon wieder gemacht haben. Aber man, das war, das war, das war definitiv ein schwerer Tag für sie. Es hat die Confidence gehalten. Ich fühle mich ein bisschen schlecht für Bearclaw Gaming, sie sind da in 13th. Sie haben, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie haben heute gemacht. Sie haben ein paar Lobbys, oder ein paar Games. Sie haben einfach nicht gewonnen, wenn es mattered. Same für Keep Going Gaming. Sie waren ziemlich close, als auch.

05:36:00 In a couple of cases, they were in the top three for that last game as well. And it could have just as easily been Keep Going Gaming in first and going through as the automatic qualification and Heroes missing out. And that's the difference that that kind of a result could have made. But yeah, for both Keep Going Gaming and Bearcourt Gaming, I've got to say credit where it's due. They fought hard today, but they weren't able to do enough. And that's where when we're talking about it during the regular season, we're saying every sort of game matters. You can't afford to have a bad week, this and that. And they all sound like cliche statements, but...

05:36:29 Ich weiß nicht, dass ich es um E-Sports bin, um Battle Royales bin, um Apex lang genug zu wissen, dass es ist, wenn es ist, und das ist genau das. Ja, ich weiß nicht, was ich wollte, dass es Dreamfire war. Sie waren ein bisschen schwer, aber sie sind in 11th, aber sie sind in 11th, aber sie sind nicht durch zu einer solchen Spots. Aber das war für Heroes, um 9th zu gehen, um zu einer solchen Slots zu gehen. Es ist ein guter Spiel von allen Teams. Ich meine, ja, da sind ein paar

05:36:58 those players right that we haven't seen i think since sweden um so you know the revenant team that uh that actually showed up that scared some people that want some cool fights um back there in our first land post covid uh you know that's where uh that's where we've seen lahim at land before um bastion just having a look back uh he was on a daewa united back then so again um i don't think we've seen him at land since then uh either

05:37:27 Und dann Hissens, ich glaube nicht immer, hat er zu landen. Aber natürlich, er hat er gewonnen, die 2021 Championship, als er war für Wolfpack Arktik. So, sie haben schon gesehen, aber es ist alles über das Gehen über da und zu erleben, und zu erleben, das Spaß mit dem Crowd, die wir nicht hatten, denn wir haben einen Crowd in Sweden, so das wird eine neue Erfahrung für alle.

05:37:54 Und das ist der Spaß, um diese Leute zu überlegen, um sie mit den Besten in der Welt zu spielen. So, ein big congrats to diese Leute. Sie haben es für ein Jahr und ein halbieren oder so, seit sie haben das Big Shot gemacht.

05:38:08 Yeah, exactly right. Until we find out where LAN may be, these teams still have a lot to come together and get sorted. We've had such changes in Apex recently with Season 20 coming in at a mix. So they've not only had to fight for these spots and take themselves through to LAN, they've just had one of the biggest season changes that we've seen at Apex Legends. But that hasn't stopped these top eight teams going through to LAN.

05:38:38 We just managed to be able to absolutely hone that, create a meta that we see a lot of teams using now and that I'm sure us Apex players and the people at home are going to definitely take through to us playing the game also Elfish.

05:38:54 You know, it's just been such a great time. But we're going to show you some fun little things and take you through some of the, you know, the great highlights that we've seen from players and teams with some stats here. So we'll jump on over to that. But, you know, once we have a look, you know, we have seen these people before. We've seen the name Gugu. We've seen the team once on Dumpling. And again, huge numbers in Damage Elfish.

05:39:21 Ja, einfach nicht die 10k, aber solid, solid stuff. Über die ganze Zeit, Gugu, nicht nur in den Region Finals, war es ein Fortschritt zu sein. Ich denke, Sie müssen auch ein shout-out für Sharky und Heck, die ich glaube, performen über die Expectationen heute.

05:39:41 Look, Virgo we thought probably would be in with a pretty good shot. Bearclaw Gaming I don't think would have been on anybody's lips. So, especially Heck, being able to put that kind of damage number down in the regional finals. Really, really impressive performance considering it's the best teams in the region. And yeah, it didn't amount to unfortunately a position overseas, but it was a mighty fine effort. I mean, I know we're not in Rustamania territory just yet, but I'm just looking at these numbers and saying Heck's doing pretty well.

05:40:07 Ich würde mich nicht überraschend sehen, dass sie ihn auf einen anderen Roster kommen. Es gibt immer etwas zu sagen, über die Roste zu sagen, und die Größte zusammengekommen. Obviamente sie hat eine gute Resulte heute auf Bearclaw. Aber mit dem großen Roster zu sehen, das ist ein bisschen ein Signal, ich würde sagen.

05:40:27 Yeah, exactly right. And, you know, we tend to always see like Easy Flash kid up in there as well. And I'm sure, you know, with more progress, we're going to be seeing that name in the top damage hitters also. But it's been an absolute exceptional day for all our teams. Yeah, imagine going to another game like that would have just been absolutely insane. I know we're getting a little bit tired here. And I'm sure people that have been watching from the first match till now, you're just like, is it over? Is it ending? You know, but it's just the passion that we have in this region.

05:40:57 Und, you know, like we said, you know, we've had moist esports, we've had Dark Zeros come out of here, but yeah, now you're going to see some more teams that, you know, could potentially reach, you know, those masses. And Tom Young-Kung, absolutely exceptional from them today. Just look at that, you know. That's interesting, isn't it? This is the, you know, the path of victory here. Don't win a game until map 10.

05:41:22 And, you know, definitely had a couple of clangers as well. But, you know, it was sort of four good games out of ten is enough to get them through there in the end. And, well, we have to take our hats off to them. They second in points overall. And, of course, yeah, winning that last game is what counts in Matchpoint. Yeah, I really got to say, big props to Ziki on Tom Young-Kung's Ziki. Ziki!

05:41:51 Definitely did hold it together for that team, hitting some placement points. So I'm sure they're going to give Ziki a big pat on the back. But what an exceptional day for all our teams. One heck of a split, guys. It was so tight for our teams at the end there. Such talent coming out of this region. And we now have our team solidified for LAN. Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back. We are the Longshot Production. A big thank you to the people behind.

05:42:18 The scenes as well. We also want to say a massive thank you to them for making everything become a reality and having us do all this sort of stuff now. And as we can tell, this region is exceptional. We have such talent. And now we just look forward to LAN, right Lace? It'll be, what is it? I think it's maybe two months or so from here.

05:42:41 um, that the, uh, the split one playoffs will be happening and we'll get to see obviously those eight teams that we just sent through on the big stage. Um, certainly some of them are going to perform. Uh, Apex South always seems to do very well. We often get quite a few of our teams into those final lobbies. So if you're an Apex South fan, make sure you, uh, you look out for those announcements and follow along for when we do get to see the, uh, the bright lights shine on all of the best that we have in this region.

05:43:10 Exactly right. We've had it in London and it's been in America a couple of times, so I guess we've just got to wait patiently to see where they might be having it. I'm hoping for Japan, but you know what? It may not happen this time around, but you know what? Only time would tell. But thank you so much, Gino and Elfish. You guys have been absolutely exceptional. So a big thank you to our casters and, of course, a big thank you to everyone behind the scenes that we've had. And also a massive thank you to Play Apex for allowing us to be on the channel and showcasing what our region can do.

05:43:40 My name is Lace. I've been your host for Split One. It's been an absolute privilege and pleasure being able to bring you all the action for Apex South. I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day. I know we're sure going to go to sleep and we will see you next time.
