00:00:23 Oh mein Gott, sie hat so viele Kills an der Start! To close that out mit einer Win?!
Erste Eindrücke und POI Draft Analyse
00:00:50
00:00:50 These guys are going to be on top of the world. This is the potential we were promised. 27 points with 15 kills. Let's stick a fork into it, Lace. Look at the kill points right now. Multiples of three. Great fan of getting 15. Remarkable team. And interesting enough. Underneath the bridge from the caravan. Epic timing by outside. I really like the use of ultimate there. Does the job.
00:01:16 But still all three teams do not want to fight first, but barbecue are gonna force it Barbecue, I think squad pushing the limit But now they can't handle the heat it's outside the ring get in there to get the dub a win for side map number two is theirs
00:01:37 Big stuff there from Outsider. Really loved how they, you know, both teams were kind of looking for saying it only gets tougher as the day goes on. The fact that Legends had a pretty mid-first series means that, you know, well, it's only going to get harder for them to push through that. Remember, as you said, the win condition taking down that pylon. If they get rid of that, all of a sudden, six Arc Stars and a Fuse Ultimate to contend with.
00:02:06 Ja, es wird bald bald, oder? VEGAS Inferno, das droppt. Und Evo's Predator ist ein sehr guter Effort, um zu beantworten. Aber jetzt ist es so schnell, ein 1 für 1, als Evo's Predator ist bereit. Aber VEGAS Inferno, der Dämpft hat sich gemacht. Aber VEGAS Inferno!
00:02:28 Was now on top of things that wants to climb the mountain truly lace Vegas Inferno in first place climb the mountain climb the leaderboard and have a nice little shuffle around with great And with just two barbecue members trying to run it out and Eva's predator trying to get the revives you know I think X and Y have just about wrap this one up tax
00:02:48 Es ist nicht genug, dass die VEGAS-Inferno auf der top ist, aber das ist nur ein Punkt, Gino. Evo's Predator wirklich, wirklich bringt in der Heat.
00:03:16 Annet! Annet! Annet! Annet! Annet!
00:03:38 Oh, ich habe ein freie Schott da. Es ist mit der 57 Punkte, der 7-League gegen Vegas Inferno U. Vegas hat über 3 Kills auf der Board da, aber nicht wirklich in die Top Positioning Team, so es war nur ein paar Zeit bevor Evo's Predator hat das über. Sind sie eigentlich going to let them revive? Oh, das ist für KP. Das ist interessant hier.
00:04:01 Ich denke, wenn die Downs kam von M.D.Y. Dann die Rez, das bedeutet, dass sie die Kills bekommen, wenn sie zurückgebracht werden. Legends Gaming... Da ist es, 66 Punkte für Legend Gaming. Das ist 2 Punkte, so die Rez war genug für sie zu boosten.
00:04:40 Welcome guys, this is the Apex South POI Draft Show. We're gonna take you through the draft for the Regional Finals today. The first time we've ever been able to do this. And I'm of course Gino. With me I've got Draugr here. So...
00:04:57 Look, it's so good to have you here, dude. Coach of Moist. Not only someone who is very familiar with the game and familiar with the APAC South teams, but of course we couldn't get one of the APAC South coaches themselves, right? Need a little bit of separation from the region. I think you were absolutely the best choice. Good to have you here on the show, mate. No, very good to be here. Thank you for having me. Alright, well, I just want to hear some thoughts from, you know, someone...
00:05:24 Ja, so I think it's really important to play to your strengths. But I think that goes hand in hand with being able to play POIs flexibly. I think if you're a one-dimensional team and you...
00:05:51 Just pick comfortable picks throughout the entire season and the whole draft process. You're going to stay a one-dimensional team, and you're just going to limit yourself later on down the track, whereby everybody else has played from 70% of the POIs by the end of their first Pro League split, and you've stuck to your guns and played the same two or three POIs the whole time. And then come Regional Finals, say both...
00:06:18 Okay, so for some teams who are still going for comfort picks, you think it's better to always pick the better POI or is it sometimes the right decision?
00:06:38 To be going for a POI that maybe you're more comfortable and you know the macro from that POI better? Or do you think that's just sort of shooting yourself in the foot? I think more often than not, there's a reason that most POIs get picked as highly as they do. So for POIs like Harvester Monument, Climber, SkyWest, Cito Station Mill, there's a reason they get picked so highly. And that's because they're great POIs.
00:07:06 So, you know, as much as it's great to stick to your guns and play from checkpoint, because you have for a year now, or however long that may be, mil is just, you know, in every sense of the word, a better POI.
00:07:22 All right, well, let's get stuck into the draft, of course. How this is going to work is we've got, unlike earlier in the split, where the teams, you know, went through a snake draft. For the regional finals, it goes via seeding. So, however, the teams from 1 to 20 ended up throughout the split and making it into the regional finals. Legends Gaming, our first seeded team, they'll get pick one.
00:07:50 und 21. Und es sieht aus, dass sie für Skyhook West gewonnen haben, welches zu mir ist, weil ich es sehr überraschend war, weil ich das auf Twitter nicht so lange habe, aber sie, ihre Performance von Cito Station war eine der besten Performance von jedem Team, von jedem PY, in der gesamten ALG. Sie haben 4 aus 9 Spiels gespielt von Cito. So wenn du ein Matchpoint Finals hast, Drogger, wo du gewinnen kannst, das wirklich surprises mich.
00:08:20 No, definitely. I'm going to go as far as saying that's a bit of a troll pick simply because they're so far ahead of the rest of the pack in APAC South. Could be. I mean, just looking at the two POIs by themselves, do you think Skyhook West is better than Cito?
00:08:42 Uh, yes, because of how much better SkyWest is than the rest of the POIs on World's Edge. As far as Legend's strengths go, they're much more suited towards, you know, Cido Station. But yeah, like I said, I think, what, they're 23 points ahead of second place at the moment, so this is probably them just...
00:09:02 Schwing off a little bit. Interesting. So, yeah, prior for them for that. And then as we continue to move on, we've got Stax there from Makers. Interesting to see that come out in number two. That seems quite high for me. Not so surprised to see VKG, who have been doing very well this season, with their third pick, come out and take Cito themselves. As you can see, it's, yeah, one of the most highly sought-after POIs on Stormpoint.
00:09:32 Ja, ich denke, Nr. 2 ist, dass es eher höher ist, als viele andere Teams haben. Es macht Sinn, Makers zu nehmen. Sie haben von Stax für, ja, ich denke, eine Jahrzehnte. Und dann, wie BKG, die wir alle kennen, liebte Sido Station.
00:09:51 Ja, ich meine, ein paar Teams haben sich die Legends aus, von Cito zu gehen und spielen auf Mill. Wir sehen, wo sie enden mit dem 21st pick enden. Der nächste pick wird X&Y nehmen Thermal Station. Nummer 5, overall. Das ist ein interessantes Mal. Ich meine, wir haben nicht viele Zones über Thermal so far. Ich glaube, es ist ein guter PoE.
00:10:16 In general, it feels like it has been neutered a little bit this split just because of where the zones have been put. No, definitely. I personally would have gone for a Climatiser pick just because of the zones, but I think X and Y being genuinely a turbo edge team who love to sit with their backs to zones the entire game, I think it does make a fair bit of sense. Okay, well, it looks like Guild agree with you at least. Guild taking out...
00:10:45 ... ... ... ... ...
00:11:10 Ich denke, es ist gut. Ich denke, es ist gut. Ich denke, wenn ein Team möchte, das POI, dann wird es bekannt. Weil, es ist gut. Ich denke, wenn ein Team möchte, das POI, dann wird es bekannt. Weil, es ist gut, als Teams sind und gut-Fighting Teams sind, dann würde ich gerne spielen.
00:11:36 So I think that's a bit of a scare tactic that good teams are going to use to kind of get bad teams out. And I think Guild are too good of a team to kind of shy away from that. We've seen MDY take Cenote Caves down there. I feel like Cenote has been one of the POIs that has had a bit of a glow up during Split 2 here. I feel like previously Cenote wasn't seen as that.
00:12:04 ...much of a premium POI on Stormpoint. But I feel like since the draft system has come out, we've seen a few, you know, the perceived power level of a few POIs change. And for me, it feels like Cenote has gone up in that estimation a little bit. Why do you think that is? It's definitely just because of the way that Evo works now. So there are only two POIs on Stormpoint that kind of, or one other POI on Stormpoint that can even...
00:12:31 Kommt zu C-Notes' Evo Capabilität, und das ist Launchpad. Und dann gibt es Tridents in C-Notes, also wenn du deine Zeit aufbauen musst, um all die PVE in der Nähe. Geht dich auf die Purple, effektiv, bevor du sogar noch einen P.O.R., du hast noch einen Trident. Bis zum nächsten Mal, um die Rotation zu gehen.
00:12:53 Alright, um, next coming in, we've got Weibo Gaming, who obviously have been struggling a little bit, um, compared to their awesome performance in Split 1. Um, they're taking out Lava Fissure. I feel like Lava Fissure is almost like a little bit of the opposite of Cenote Caves, where previously we had a lot of, like, fairly good teams playing from Lava Fissure.
00:13:15 Und ich fühle mich, dass es in Priorität ist, in der Draft dieses Jahr und wie wir es performan haben. Ich meine, 5.2 Punkte per Spiel an average von Lava Fissure ist nicht super gut. Aber hier ist es in 10th pick, hier bei Weibo. Was macht ihr das? Ja, ich denke, die Fall in popularity von Lava Fissure ist definitiv, weil es nicht mehr mit Mirage gibt.
00:13:43 so the love of fisher team love to play big and flex and you know go and take mirage as well but given the very few you know pois on world's edge that have sufficient loot and have ring console and players scan i think our love fisher stocks have gone down significantly
00:14:05 Okay. Well, looking at the state of it at the moment, World's Edge does seem to be a little bit more preferred. We can see, what is that? Seven picks on World's Edge to the three on Storm Point. Now with the next one getting taken, Mil makes complete sense. You were talking about how strong this POI was just before. Yeah, no, it is interesting to see POIs like Stacks, Overlook.
00:14:32 Even Monument, zu be honest, picked before Mill. Honestly, DF picked Pylon before. Picking Mill is an interesting one. That's kind of been their home for the last couple of years or since Stormtrooper existed. So I'm surprised to see them first pick Pylon here.
00:14:49 Do you think Pyelon is better than Mill overall? It feels like you've got a lot of respect there for Mill and certainly the rotational capabilities that you get from the quick looting path and then having the Trident on board as well. Yeah, I think exactly what you just said. I think it's such a quick POI to loot. The loot is great. And you've got a Trident in an area on the map that isn't very congested and was even less so congested before Cito Station existed.
00:15:18 So, yeah, I think Mil's great. Again, I think it's kind of like finding that balance of picking or playing to your strengths and being able to flex. And I guess I would have assumed that Mil was DF's strength. So I guess they think Pylon is better. Well, everyone's got some different opinions. It's definitely been one of the fun things about the POI draft to sort of see how all these different teams value.
00:15:46 ...different parts of the game. Stormcatcher coming in here at number 12. I also find that to be an interesting one. Obviously, I mean, how many premium POIs do you think that there are over the two maps? Because I feel like, for me, I sort of sort them into these premium POIs that you really, really want, that make a difference. There's a bunch in the middle that are all kind of the same.
00:16:14 um you know maybe don't make that much of a difference to your game one way or another and then there's a couple of uh you know pretty rough ones uh like your cliffside etc um that are a bit tough so yeah i don't do you see it kind of similarly to that or would you have a different take uh yeah i think world's edge is is kind of made up of four maybe five maybe six max six to be honest with you like premium pois
00:16:42 um and that comes with you know i think if epicenter gets survey as well or the other way around uh that's a great poi uh but you know if you're playing survey and there's a sky east team that wants the tunnel and you know a team picks epi as well and all of a sudden you've gone from having anywhere from 200 to 300 loot spawns to 100 maybe um that becomes pretty tricky but i think storm point is a lot more balanced you know some of the
00:17:11 Die Wurst-For-Wear-POIs sind immer noch sehr gut und viel stärker als Geyser oder Survei-By-Itself oder Dome auf World's Edge.
00:17:26 Oh, poor Dome. Always a rough one. Well, we're going here to Cascade Falls, which is picked at number 15. You can see on average, these stats, by the way, are just from Apex South. So you can see we've got, on average, it's been picked at the 23rd spot in the Apex South drafts. And, you know, I'd say five to six...
00:17:53 Ich glaube, es ist nicht so, dass die Werte von CETO-Sation auf den Start war, was 10 Punkte per Game oder so, was richtig. Aber natürlich, das war sehr viel bei den riesigen Anzahl der Werte und die Punkte von CETO-Sation waren, die von CETO waren.
00:18:14 so yeah cascade falls is an interesting one because i remember you know when back when let's go back a year maybe even 18 months when you know say team liquid or you know then became exit whatever they were at the time um were landing there and playing like you know a loba fast rotate style uh cascade falls was like you know they were one of the best teams and they were deliberately picking that like uh and staking their claim for that before everyone else was um
00:18:41 It feels like Cascade is nowhere near that sort of, has that sort of respect anymore. Yeah, well, I'm surprised you bring up Team Liquid and not Team Berger or Team Moist who kind of staked their claim to that POI the second the map rolled around. But no, it does honestly surprise me to see it get picked so late in Apex South. It was, yeah, genuinely such a hot topic for such a long time, I remember.
00:19:07 Ja, definitiv. Ich denke,
00:19:36 With the current EVO system, it's still the same POI that it used to be. I think the new armor system has changed that a little bit. I would definitely still pick it over Stormcatcher. I would see Barrow South there getting picked up by Heroes. You know, they've made it through the Regional Finals. They're definitely not in as good a position as they were last split where they made LAN. They probably need a first place.
00:20:05 um and and that sort of golden ticket to get to the split two playoffs this time uh barrow south is is a is a pretty good poi you saw you know it had eight i think it was eight plus points per game so um considering that was about halfway through the draft that's actually a pretty good pick up there for heroes yeah no that's that's their home as well they've been landing there again i think that's that's a team who's been landing at that spot since the beginning of storm point um so that pick makes a lot of sense and then seeing uh
00:20:34 A POI like Lightning Rod slipped down to the 18th pick as well. Yeah, again, that's a POI in NA that gets snapped up in the top eight almost every single draft. So it's interesting to see the different priority that Apex South takes in regards to POIs. Yeah, I mean, even Grape Soda there picking up Zeus Station, which was a POI I thought had a lot of potential and maybe was going to do better once.
00:21:02 The POI draft system came in purely because of the dropship. The problem that people always seem to say that that POI had was that they had to take gravity cannons up there and it was just really rough if you got a bad dropship to Zeus Station. Now that you are guaranteed to actually land immediately on your POI and not have those kind of issues, I expected it to be a bit better, but we haven't...
00:21:26 Ich habe wirklich gesehen, ich denke, es war drei Punkte bis zum Spiel für Zeus Station. Also habe ich es nicht so gut gemacht, oder zumindest in Apex South gesehen. Any differences overseas that you've seen with that POI? Um, interestingly enough, Zeus was one of the highest-picked POIs at the start of our season. I think, mehr often than not yet, we'd get picked in the top 12. And I knew of three or four teams that would...
00:21:52 Prior with their fifth pick with their first pick sorry and pick it as early as fifth even But I also find it interesting looking at the maps now that we pointed out. I think it was Six worlds edge picks or seven worlds edge picks to the three Stormpoint picks and we've completely flipped that on its head
00:22:12 Well, that seems to reflect what you were talking about, right? Was that there's a couple of World's Edge picks that you need to get in and get them before other people do. And if not, well, you may as well just pick one of those Stormpoint POIs that are sort of, you know, all sort of similar around the middle. Obviously, we have got around to the second round of draft picks now. Everyone, all of our teams have... ...from Warmonster Firebird, who were AFK.
00:22:39 So, if you guys haven't read into the nitty gritty of the new POI draft rules, this is all happening, we're not recording this live, but it does all happen live. And so, Warmonster Firebird actually went AFK during their pick, which means they don't get to pick essentially until they show up next. So we'll see.
POI Draft Runde 2 und Meta-Überlegungen
00:23:00
00:23:00 We'll see when they wake up and get back on here. But in the meantime, the other teams are going to be picking their second POIs, as you can see with Legends Gaming going over to Wall. How do you think about this paired with Skyhook West for Legends Gaming chances to continue their domination of Apex South? Yeah, I think the only POI that I would have potentially taken over Wall would have been...
00:23:27 Launchpad, aber ich denke, das ist definitiv ein Personal-Preferenz. Launchpad ist ein sehr schnelles P.O.I. zu spielen. Und wir alle wissen, Legends sind eher die Opposite der Slow-Team. Also, ich denke, das Wahl-Pick macht viel Sinn.
00:23:43 I mean, do you think the new meta is going to shake up any of these picks as well and might be influencing some of this? Because, I mean, just watching, you know, scrims this week and what's happened since this POI draft has occurred, you know, Legends have been, you know, they've been experimenting with, I think it was, Player K was finally off Watson for one, by the way. We had him on Vantage and it was Easy Flash swapping Ocar to the Watson with Strafing on Pan. So we'll see if that does end.
00:24:13 I'm not entirely sure. I'd like to say no. I don't think there have been any changes big enough to warrant POI changes. I think I'm still interested to see whether Legends actually think that this
00:24:43 Ich glaube, es ist auch möglich, wenn 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, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
00:25:11 People who, you know, yeah, want to try out everything while they've got the chance. And especially as you say, while they've like, you know, because they mathematically have locked themselves in for LAN already. They cannot be knocked out. They will be in that top seven no matter what happens here today in the regional finals. So, all right, we're getting down to the dregs of the barrel here.
00:25:33 Ja, ich würde gerne sagen, dass es definitiv aus der Overlook-Zonen ist, dass alle Überlook-Zonen sind. Ich finde es interessant, dass POIs wie Launch-Site und Tree get...
00:26:02 Ich würde sagen, dass ein Team hat seinen Flagg an Siphon und hat ihn zu retten, das ist, warum es so lange für ihn zu gewinnen ist. Und dann wieder, ich denke, ich bin auch sehr surprised, die Survey hat sich sehr gut gemacht, weil es nicht fantastisch ist, wenn jemand Ebi-Center wählt, wenn jemand Ebi-Center wählt,
00:26:32 Ja, nuts. Ja, und das ist ein guter Punkt. Wir wahrscheinlich sollten das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das, um, das.
00:26:57 Mein Characters sind so fun. Ja, du hattest ja, du hattest ja, du hattest ja, du hattest ja, du hattest ja, du hattest ja, du hattest ja, du hattest. Oh, Warm Monster Firebird hattest ja, excellent. Um, hier we go, finally. Uh, und du hattest ja, der erste pick auf Landslide, wahrscheinlich nicht so gut als sie hattest. Um, better, uh, better check the call sheet next time, uh, guys. Um, but ja, like...
00:27:18 It's the one that still remains here where you can actually influence this from outside of the draft, right? From outside of the 90 seconds that you get to pick your POI. You can, you know, whatever, chuck it in the pro chat somewhere and be like, hey guys, if you're going to come and play Siphon, we will take Siphon, you know, East or West, whichever one you don't take, and we will be contesting you. And that way...
00:27:46 Some of the teams who aren't willing to go toe-to-toe with you, if you are a strong contesting team, which who knows, maybe that'll become rarer and rarer as the game goes on, because we're not going to get as many contests anymore. But those teams do get to enjoy the fruits of one of the best POIs on World's Edge, Insight. Yeah, no, it's very interesting. I find it... I'm not a massive fan of that genome. I think it...
00:28:13 Ja, ja, und ich glaube es...
00:28:41 Es ist also schwer, weil man genug Platz braucht und zu wählen auf diese Plätze. Und mit den 20-Teams ist es wie... Ja, was andere Optionen haben wir, wirklich? Wie anders ist das Spiel? Ja, es ist eher eine Design-Problem für die ALGS-Commissioner und für die Respawn-Devs, ehrlich gesagt, als es für uns ist.
00:29:09 So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I know, like, you know, Great Soda had been, I think, one of the teams who were contesting Syphon. And, you know, even though they're a team that hasn't necessarily been doing the best in this split, you know, absolutely destroyed some other teams on the contest and therefore were able to sort of, yeah, like, claim that for themselves. So, well done to them. Anyway, continuing on with the draft.
00:29:38 We see Survey Camp getting taken. Okay, so that's BCG. Let's see if Epi does get taken after all. I'm still surprised that Skyhook East is available at this point because we've been noting how many Skyhook Zones we've been getting that has made Skyhook East a lot more attractive than it has been in the past. Yeah, definitely. I think it's also incredible, honestly, that Launch Slide is still available. And there goes EpiCenter.
00:30:07 All of a sudden, Bearclaw's top 6 pick has now probably dwindled down to maybe a bottom 5. But yeah, it does astound me that POIs like Tree, Sky East, and Launchlight have fallen this far in the draft. And the other thing there, though, is it's even interesting that Bearclaw took Survey over Epi first, when as we just saw, Epi has 8...
00:30:34 Ich glaube, es hat eine Apec-South-Games von 8.5. In Apec-South, es ist eine der höchsten Averagingen POIs in der gesamten Spiel. Ich fühle mich Kildeville, die nach BCG zu bekommen, ist ein bisschen ein Steal.
00:30:54 Ja, ich weiß nicht, ob das die Repetitive Zonen ist, dass wir sehen, um, in den Spitzen zu sehen. Oder ob das vielleicht, dass ich einfach, dass EpiCenter ist, als eine der guten POIs auf World's Edge ist. Das ist das Secret Goat. Wir haben es nicht mehr. Um, all right, Devastated Coast kommt aus.
00:31:18 Das geht zu LGD Gaming. Almost komplett auf Stormpoint. So, ja, es wirklich war. Es war die Gold Rush an der Start, um, zu holen die Welt's Edge POIs. Und jetzt haben wir komplett, almost komplett cappt auf Stormpoint hier. Um, auf der Backend, mit stillen fünf Picks left zu gehen auf Welt's Edge. So... Ich würde sagen, Next ist, uh...
00:31:47 Grape Soda at Siphon or is that the pick afterwards?
00:31:52 Es hat eine Remarkable Team next to Tree, by the looks of it. But yeah, I'm sure that one has to be coming soon. How do you feel about the Stax-Mord proximity? Yeah, I think, very unfortunate for us. We, you know, last Land, we were the Stax-Mord team. And, you know, we do our best whenever we get Stax to threaten the Mord team and make sure they know that if somebody picks Mord...
00:32:19 Ja, es ist es. Ja, ich meine, ja, da ist es, 36 pick. Aber ja, am Ende der Tag, um, wenn du quick von Mord hast, ist nichts die Stacks-Team kann tun. Aber wenn du willst, es ist ein schwerer P.O.I. zu spielen, um, und es macht Stacks-A-Lot-Werse, weil dein Initial Rotate wird sehr congested und dein Ballon ist nicht mehr...
00:32:48 Du kannst es nicht mehr nutzen, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst,
00:33:16 Yeah, obviously a much better POI than it was before Staxx was there at all. But yeah, so Trident getting taken by Warmonster Firebird. So yeah, I mean, with that, I mean, they picked up Landslide, I guess, which, you know, is not the worst we've seen.
00:33:35 Ja, ich denke, sie würden definitiv beeindruckt, dass sie sich in den Lern gespielt haben. Aber wenn man die Kaliber von dem Team schaut, ist es die Team? Ist es die POI? Es ist die Erfahrung wir haben, wirklich. Ja, ich denke, sie würden definitiv beeindruckt, dass sie sich in und endet mit Landslide als der erste Pick. Aber ich denke, Trident ist die...
00:34:01 20th Stormpoint pick is a bad option at all. I think there are worse POIs on the map. Yeah, I know we at the start of this would especially like to prioritize Trident pretty highly. I think it's got good PvE if you want to play slow. You've got, obviously, like the name suggests, a Trident that you've got access to. A Survey Beacon on your head. So it's definitely, you know, you can potentially have a really good game day from Trident.
00:34:30 Hmm, what about Mirage de Troyes? We're seeing here 6.3 per average points per game here. That's pretty high for Final Dream. Is that a good pick up at pick 39? I personally think Mirage is a very underrated POI. Just having looked at the stats, I think it's got a balloon right next to, you know, the main cluster of loot. It's got a lot of loot. It's got its own ring console now. They've got added...
00:34:58 Alright, and then the final pick.
00:35:24 GKE Sports, of course. Previously, Boogie Boarders are going to pick up Big Maud and take on Makers, who obviously, you know, they've been on a tear this split. GKE, kind of the opposite of being slipping down in the rankings. You know, they were the 20th team to make it into the Regional Finals, that very last spot. Look, it has an 8.4 PPG. That's quite high.
00:35:50 But as you were saying, it can be a tough POI to play from. Do you think this is a smart move from GK to try and take on a fighting powerhouse like Makers? Or do you think this is maybe a gamble gone wrong? To be honest with you, I think this was kind of like a pick your poison situation. You're either playing at Dome and stuck behind Makers and have them potentially sit at top of Stax or top of Maud.
00:36:18 und nicht bis sie gegen dich, oder du hast sie den ganzen Tag, so ich denke, dass sie die beiden options sind, dass sie beide schlecht sind, und nur was sie beendet sind, die beiden. Und ich persönlich glaube, dass Mord der Bedeutung der Bedeutung der Bedeutung der Bedeutung ist. Und ich glaube, dass Mord der 40er Bedeutung der Bedeutung der Bedeutung der Bedeutung der Bedeutung ist ein win, in all honesty.
00:36:42 Okay. Well, yeah, look, talking about winning and losing, let's just, to wrap this up, let's have a look at these maps overall. And I want you to give me, you know, maybe one or two people who you think have won this draft and got, you know, maybe better picks than they should have or just, you know, had a really smart approach to this to end up with good POIs and maybe one or two teams you think could have done better.
00:37:09 Yeah, well, I think it goes without saying that Grape Soda are probably the biggest winners, having gotten Zoo Station and Siphon from, I think, around 16th pick, or the 16th seed, sorry. I think as far as, you know, an edge team goes, I think Heroes have done the same. I think they've gotten some very good picks, having gotten, you know, their home PY in Barrow South.
00:37:38 und hat Sky-East gewonnen. Ist das die 18th pick auf World's Edge? As far as die Losers der Draft gehen, ich bin nicht ein Fan von der Pylon Geyser-Pick. Ich denke, sie hat Priorität zu ein paar great POIs auf beiden Maps. Und ich denke, die 1st-Pick in Pylon über die Likes von, you know...
00:38:06 ...Mill, like we spoke about earlier, and then prioritising a POI like Geyser over Launch Site and Survey and Sky East, and even Mirage is a bad decision as well. But yeah, other than that, I think everybody's done relatively well, I think.
00:38:32 If I was to pick another loser, potentially overlook Coastal, but I think that also plays into the repetitive zones that we've been talking about today. I think, you know, if we keep having those South Stormpoint zones and we keep having those Northeast World's Edge zones and they've got two fantastic POIs, but if they pull to the other side of the map, then, you know, not so much. There's some tricky POIs to play from.
00:39:01 Ja, und natürlich, wir haben einige Veränderungen mit den Rings, in dem zu machen es ein bisschen mehr...
00:39:08 equitably distributed in terms of the quadrants of the maps uh that those rings do pull to so you know it may come down to that as well yeah i definitely think that for me heroes were probably the winner of this draft um i think barry south and skyhook east is a great combo maybe that as you said they kind of have to come first so you know if there's any way for them to get through it was um it was that one
00:39:35 Aber ja, es ist ein interessanter Shake-Out. Obviamente, es gibt viele Teams hier. Wir haben sie sechs Schlots für Grabs heute für diese Teams, von Apex-South zu durch die Regional Finals, eine weniger als die Last-Split. Und das bedeutet, dass es viele Teams hier haben, die für First Day zu spielen. Sie haben zu gewinnen Matchpoint. Sie haben zu gewinnen, von der PoE zu gewinnen, um das Ticket zu gewinnen.
00:40:02 All right, look, it's been lots of fun going through this with you, Draugr. Thank you so much for lending your expertise to us today. No worries, thank you for having me. It was lots of fun. All right, well, that's been the Apex South pre-show, POI draft show, whatever you want to call it. We're making it up on the spot, but we'll be back into the action very quickly. Thanks so much, you guys, for tuning in for this one.
00:42:41 Der Wrapparound ist perfekt!
00:43:14 Was? No! Loppa overextends! So does Kashira!
Regional Finals Start und Format-Erläuterung
00:43:33
00:43:33 2 Regional Finals, where we'll be covering all the Apex Legends action here in Apex South. My name is Lace, and I'm so thrilled to be back on your screen once again for the Ultimate Memes and Beams, but that's not without our wonderful casters, so let me roll out the red carpet once again for Genome and Elfish. Genome, we finally made it. We're back in the Regional Finals. Is it just me, or do you feel like this split has gone very, very fast?
00:44:01 It has been quick. I mean, the days have been basically back-to-back. It's been non-stop action, but none of it will be as exciting as what we see here today in the Regional Finals. I know, I'm just sitting here getting super excited for everything to go down. And of course, you know, we have had some epic weeks of Apex Legends, and we are finally here in the Finals. I just feel like Elfish, like, you're our throwback king. Hopefully you're a little bit locked in for today.
00:44:28 Oh, I'm always locked in, you know, there's no doubt about that one. But I'm kind of just wondering, are we going to get to the point where, you know, we have another insanely long day like we had last time. I can't even remember how many, was it 11 games? Something like that.
00:44:41 But pretty ridiculous. Are we going to get that today? Well, I don't know. I mean, Legends have kind of been dominating this season. And so there's every possibility they just sort of do it in three or four. And we're like, all right, well, we'll just get out of here after six. Yeah, I think it was around 10, 11. So, you know, hopefully we're not like APAC North with 13 games. But, you know, we're going to jump in and tell you all about our schedule. Because we've had five weeks of tantalizing Pro League here. And today is the day that we finally find out which teams secure their spot at LAN. So let's take a look at, you know, I guess.
00:45:10 Exactly how everything's going to work here. We've reached the regional finals here in Apex South. You know, things are heating up a little bit for us. So teams will need to compete with the match point format. The goal is to reach 50 points. So once a team reaches 50 points, they will become match point eligible. The first match point eligible team will be declared the winner. But you know, Gino, that's kind of easier said than done, right?
00:45:36 Yep, es ist nur ein Team aus 20 zu tun, Lace. So, ja, das ist nicht so großartig für diese Teams. Und...
00:45:45 Looking in the past, we have had teams who have been dominating APAC South just run away within the regional finals, right? Moist doing it a couple of times. It's been rare that you get one of those underdogs coming up, but we did see that last night in APAC North, right? When you get into a situation where you go 13 games, you've got 16 teams on match point. All of a sudden, anyone can be the ones walking away with that win.
00:46:08 Impact North really taking things a little bit crazy for us. I remember they won it in four and then we had to change it to six games. You have to play six. So, you know, they're always paving the way for us. But at the end of the day, what are these teams playing for? But it's, of course, to make it to LAN, which I dare say is in Mannheim, Germany, which is really exciting. But, of course, let's take a look at the dollary dues. $125,000 spread across our teams. You know, they get their chance at LAN, but they also get $20,000.
00:46:37 all the way to, you know, the 21st to the 30th place, which is 1,500. So, you know what? There's money spread around. There's exciting stuff to happen as well. But, you know, after an incredible split, we are looking to send through seven teams to the playoffs. One team has already locked themselves in, though, Elfish, which we'll go through shortly. But, you know, we did have to say goodbye to about 10 teams as well. So a little bit tough there, but these are our top 20 teams, Elfish.
00:47:05 Ja, definitiv. Ich habe einen oder zwei Names missingen. Ich denke, die wichtigste ist, was Virtus.Pro, das wir vielleicht nicht erwartet haben.
00:47:12 Be unable to make it through to this lobby. But generally speaking, I think we've got the vast majority of those sort of top name teams that did manage to come through to the regional finals. And it is interesting, and I guess we'll talk about this more as we go through this pre-show. But, you know, we do have a bit of like a bit of a split between like those top sort of leading teams and the teams that are kind of trying to catch up to them. And if we talk about the fact that seven teams are going to be able to go through to the playoffs, obviously, we look at the scoreboard here. And if you just cast your eyes along those top seven.
00:47:41 ... ... ... ... ...
00:48:00 Ja, ich denke, Gina, wir sind ein bisschen worried für GKE Sports. Sie haben nicht wirklich...
00:48:28 Totally performing the way that we've seen them in this split, but they just managed to sort of push through into the crutch in the top 20, but a little bit crazy. Virtus Pro, unfortunately, you know, we say goodbye to them. How are you feeling about that?
00:48:39 Yeah, that one's been sad, honestly. But, you know, we've dealt with a lot of that grief over the last week and now we're focused on the 20 teams that are here, right? So, you know, they've all gone through the draft process this week, which if you had been watching the draft pre-show that we did there, Lace, it's a little bit different. So previously, if you got the first pick, you'd also get the 40th pick, but we are giving an advantage to the highest seeded teams coming into it.
00:49:08 Regional Finals. And that means if you got the first pick in this one, you also get the 21st pick. And if you get the 20th...
00:49:16 der 20th pick, dann auch der 40th pick. So, es ist ziemlich hart für ein Team wie GK. Aber Sie werden sehen, in dieser Draft, dass sie okay gemacht haben, und ich glaube, es war Big Mord, auch auf World's Edge. Aber wir waren über die Winners und Losers aus dieser Draft. Ich glaube, Heroes hat wirklich gut gemacht, um Barrow South hier in Stormpoint. Sie haben sich in eine interessante Position gemacht. Das ist das, was Legends nicht
00:49:45 Ja, ich glaube, ich war ein bisschen über Legends Gaming-Choice-At-The-Wall-As-Wall-Genome. Aber, you know, das ist eine unserer Teams-A-N-S-A-N-S-A-N-S-A-N-S-A-N.
00:50:06 you know golden ticket through to land so uh like elfish or genome do you guys i guess think that they're just trying to change something and play a little different in in you know the hopes to go to the land or something like that elfish yeah definitely i mean there's a possibility right like it was it you guys were talking about you know when you were doing that um that pi pre-show that they may not necessarily get
00:50:28 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
00:50:57 Ich glaube, das ist die einzige Option, wirklich, ist das Legend.
00:51:03 Ja, well, I mean, I guess we can answer that one, Gina, because generally speaking, we don't get super, super crazy early games here in Apex South anymore.
00:51:28 Und jetzt von einem kurzen Blick auf die Map selbst, ich habe nicht zu viele Contests gesehen, oder jemanden wirklich mit einem anderen zu sehen, das ist fair genug. Und ich glaube, dass ich die Frage zu stellen, für mich ist, ich glaube, es gibt natürlich viele Optionen, zu sagen, wie man könnte, hier zu sagen, wie man könnte, hier zu sagen, oh, ich möchte diese Team auswählen, aber ich habe für Weibo gewonnen. Ich denke, das ist ein bisschen ein Aus-Side-Shot. Ich habe gesagt, Weibo in 3. Jetzt, das ist ein bisschen ein Troll-Pick, aber...
00:51:55 Um, in reality, you know, I do think that they are the kind of team that could turn it on. I'm not really going to say, look, let's be real. I'm not going to say they're going to do it in 3. But I think if they're the kind of team that is going to have a day like they do sometimes, they could definitely win in like maybe 4, 5 games, 6 games, something like that. So I think that's a possibility for sure. I mean, if they play their absolute best, then yeah, they've shown that...
Meta-Entwicklungen und Team-Veränderungen
00:52:19
00:52:19 They can be the team that comes out and absolutely trounces the lobbies and puts up record numbers as far as kill points go. So yeah, I mean, they've been better in the second half of the season than they didn't at the start. And that's important because as we've just seen with a couple of these team comps coming out, Elfish, things have changed, right? What we're seeing here in the regional final is definitely not what we store at the start of the season. The meta has opened up a lot. Honestly, it's been really refreshing. We're not getting...
00:52:45 100% Bang, 100% Blood. We are getting a lot of fun looking across the board. There's multiple Scan characters, Recon characters. You've got Seer being played. You've got Crypto being played. You've also still got a little bit of Bloodhound occasionally. And then you've also, you know, we're seeing Vantage for the very first time. You can consider Vantage.
00:53:07 As part of the competitive Apex Legends meta. Vantage is pickable, apparently. We've also got a Corsic and a Valkyrie in there as well. Corsic, Valkyrie, Bangalore from Remarkable Team. Don't half-mind that one at all. But, you know, I think the other thing that we do have to talk about as well is not just composition changes, but team changes as well, right? Guild, that's the big one, obviously, with MT coming in. And so to round things out for the regional finals, you know, you make a roster change. That's quite a substantial change.
00:53:37 Ich meine, es ist ein bisschen rough, nicht wahr? Wie du gesagt hast, ist er, dass er ein paar Lands qualifizierungen ist. Und er hat nicht wirklich gewusst, dass er all diese Roster-Change kommt. Obviamente, Serenity, als sie in den Spielplan-Pläufen haben, hat ein sehr guter Ergebnis für ein Team. Ich glaube, es war der 12th Platz, das ist großartig.
00:54:03 Ich glaube, es ist so gut, dass ich so gut bin. Ich glaube, es ist nicht so gut. Ich glaube, es ist nicht so gut, dass es nicht so gut geht.
00:54:26 You can question the timing change, I think that's fair, but as far as the change itself is concerned, I would tend to agree with you that it is hard to pass up the opportunity to get MT in someone with a lot of experience and a track record of doing very, very well in this region. So I'll give it the credit where it's due, but I suppose we have to just wait and see how it plays out, right? Like, yeah, you can sort of theorize about it and talk about it on paper or want, but at the end of the day, how is it going to perform in the server is really what's going to matter today.
00:54:53 Für Guilden, in particular, ist es wahrscheinlich ein Fall zu gewinnen, oder nicht zu landen. Sie haben viel Arbeit zu tun, heute. Ich meine, ja, MT hat sich in der Best-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late-Late
00:55:19 Oh, we'll see, uh, you know how he does on the Seer? Ooh! Just like trying to play a risky spot underneath the, uh... Yeah, and I think you should mention as well, Dreamfire's already been eliminated. So, that was the team that was sitting on that 7th place cutoff cusp. Uh, and to not start the day very well, it, you know, it's gonna mean the rest of the teams in the League are gonna be sort of licking their lips, looking at that, rubbing their hands together, thinking, okay, already Dreamfire is in a pretty precarious spot.
00:55:44 Das macht es ein bisschen einfacher für uns zu nab. Also, wir müssen uns auf Dreamfire gehalten. Aber natürlich, Guild und Warmonster Firebird werden auch ein Gespräch als die zwei Teams starten zu machen. Shark ist da, für den Moment. Aber es sieht nicht aus, dass es zu viel Druck ist, also die Rez vielleicht zu sein. BCG hier, auf der 3rd, haben Guild realized, dass sie sich auf den Weg zu ziehen, aber ich denke, sie haben...
00:56:12 Jetzt hat er und erinnert, dass B.C.G. auf der anderen Seite ist. Er hat eine Sekunde, um das Reset zu bekommen, um das Reset zu bekommen. Und jetzt ist es wirklich Warmonster Firebird hier, die in ein Spot der Trouble ist. Ja, Sharks noch nicht zu haben. Und ich darf sagen, vielleicht ist das nicht zu sein. Die Timing ist vielleicht ein bisschen mehr an. Gut, Schuss back, doch. Limo geht es um. So, BearClockGaming haben sie ein bisschen mehr als sie können. Sie wirklich nicht wollen...
00:56:40 Ich glaube, es ist wirklich schwer zu werden, die Rez sind in der Mitte der Zone, die Teams werden in dieser Richtung gehen, die Teams werden in dieser Richtung gehen, die Teams werden in dieser Richtung gehen. Und ja, Worms to Firebird, sie werden eliminiert. So, sie sind aus dem Bild hier, aber es ist noch ein bisschen ein Messer unter der Brücke.
00:56:59 Yeah, I think they either needed to full send Guild and just try and take advantage of the fact that, you know, they got that first knock. It probably would have been hard because of all the defense that Guild had set up there. You know, focus potential coming out from here, all that kind of stuff. But even here, you can see they're not necessarily out of harm's way in Guild. Wow, we'll join.
00:57:22 Dreamfire and Warmonster Firebird in the grave for Game 1.
00:57:50 Und das war schon eine gute, positive start für Las Vegas Inferno.
00:58:18 VKG Gaming, oh sorry, VKG Gaming, I should say. I've been one of the better teams this split. They are really coming into their own as the split ends. As far as the season standings go, they look like they're, you know, all butt locked in for LAN here. They would have to have some serious stuff going the wrong way here for them to not make it to Mannheim at this point.
00:58:43 Und es ist ja, es ist toll zu sehen, dass sie wirklich um, und spielen die Kryptos. Also haben wir noch ein paar Team versucht, etwas etwas anders hier zu probieren.
00:58:53 Yeah, I mean, on the point of crypto, there was a lot of those getting picked up in APAC North. Don't know that we're quite going to get as many here in APAC South. But it's cool to see a little bit of that variety coming back. I mean, obviously Seer coming into...
00:59:22 Das ist das Bloodhound-Roll in ein paar Compositions, in ein paar Teams. Das ist einfach so, dass wir die Leite für Leite-Replacement haben und die Leite für den Seer auswählen. Und das vielleicht nicht drastisch verändert sich das auch, als vielleicht noch andere Compositions-Change ist. Es ist wirklich nur ein Gespräch für die Teams, wie sie sind, und vielleicht wie ein Legends-Each-Player ist, oder wie sie spielen können, oder wie sie spielen können. Denn jeder kann natürlich auch ihre Komfort Peaks haben. Und ja, es ist ein...
00:59:49 Wraith, Crypto and Bangalore is certainly something different, but...
01:00:16 If it works for you, that's really all that matters.
01:00:20 Yeah, I mean, there's comfort picks, and sometimes that is better than trying something at the last minute that you're not that familiar on, I agree. But sometimes, I don't know, man, sometimes you just need to get the reps in on it, right? And you need to, you know, there's a reason it becomes better and more teams are playing it, because it is a strong pick. So, yeah, I think there's definitely arguments both the way there, but I think the...
Frühe Kämpfe und Teamzusammensetzungen
01:00:49
01:00:49 The positive thing to take out of this is that we don't seem to have a defined number one recon character here with what is really allowing a lot of the variety in the team compositions we're seeing here today. And Legends all ready to get into the early stout. That's some good tracking coming through from Easy Flash as he puts Jackie Chan to bed.
01:01:15 Der Wraith-Player ist auch schon wieder in der Void, um ihn zu halten, um ihn zu halten. Es war ein Trait-Backminder-Straith-In-Flame, aber der Pressure ist wirklich nicht da. Der Reset kam durch für EZ-Flash. Er war erinnert, dass er sich die Schilder zurückkommt. Und Weibo-Gaming hat vielleicht überstreckt ein bisschen, aber du denkst, dass das vielleicht der Ende des Legends ist, als das 3rd-Party kommt durch von Bearclaw-Gaming. Und das ist wirklich ein bisschen ein Mutually Assured-Destruction-Type-Situation für Weibo und für Legends.
01:01:42 So certainly in the case of Legends, one of the top teams being taken out early. And for Weibo, well, my prediction not looking too good of Weibo in 3 so far.
01:02:01 Ja, Berklau, ich meine, gut timing von Berklau. Und ich glaube, was ich sehe von Berklau so far, heute Nacht. Die fighten sie auf dem Bridge hatten, sie nicht wirklich über-commit zu. Sie backed off, bevor es wurde zu punishing. Und jetzt wird es von Legends und zu Playboy Gaming. Und wir halten das für den Momentum, weil LGD sind jetzt in die Welt.
01:02:22 Ja.
01:02:34 ...escape, ...and focusing on the mission at hand, ...which is going to be to get in the next zone. Well, there were two or three teams sitting down there at Barometer. And yeah, look, they've managed to essentially clear out all of that area now. As you said, just Fosse, let alone from them. So they've cleared the walk-in, but that's only step one, right? You know, they still have to get past teams like X and Y, ...who were holding that bridge the guild were at earlier. And then on the northern side, you've got Final Dream, ...who are well within the circle here.
01:03:03 Wir spielen die IMC Armoury. Ich bin sicher, wie SWQ, die sind eine wirklich dominante force. Das Split ist, dass sie über die E-Vac in den Bereich sind. So, wir sehen, dass Final Dream ihre Wits über sie sind, als sie sich repräsentieren. Hmm. Speaking of LGD, sie haben eigentlich entschieden, zu pushen North. So, instead of walking their way into XY, sie haben nach und sie haben nach E-Vos Predator.
01:03:30 Und das ist ein bisschen ein Problem für LGD, weil in der meantime, X und Y sind eigentlich aus der Zone zu haben, ein bisschen zu sehen. LGD sind in danger of getting sandwiched, wenn sie die Timing falsch machen können, welch sie wohl haben. Sie werden versuchen zu versuchen, Vertically zu versuchen. Phaidu ist doch sehr low. No Schilds, über eine Quarte von his HP left. Aber es ist aber auch, dass er diese Rotation okay ist. Ich habe einen kurzen Blick auf die Killfeed. Ich habe ihn nicht gesehen, so sie haben tatsächlich versucht, zu machen es, LGD.
01:04:00 Not the same can be said obviously for Evo's Predator, who have taken the more scenic route along the ground, and they have just been fouled by Exxon on the way in, and they're definitely gonna lose one or two members. So Exxon, why are we happy with that? Those knocks that they got, one of them being onto Jack Qt, is not going to be reset by Exxon Y. So it was, in the end, just Gop Gaps that managed to make it into the zone, and...
01:04:25 Es ist schon ein ziemliches Ende für Evo.
01:04:32 Obviously X and Y know this area very well. They have a team that was playing Cenote Caves for a very long time, so they should have a good idea of how this sort of works out. They didn't get that pick today, of course. They are playing from Launchpad, but still, it's familiar territory for them. Hero's very quickly losing a couple of members there as well. Lahim is a sliver of HP.
01:04:57 Luckily, he's on the Pathfinder, so he's going to find it a little easier to maybe get out of dodge, but for how long that is going to last, there's a little angle around the corner there that is causing problems for him. I don't know that he's going to be able to get the res here, even if he were to get the banners. It's just a little bit too late in the game.
01:05:15 So I might have to play this one out as a solo and see if you get some more placement points going forward. Yeah, he's very much stuck in there with some other people. If he somehow managed to get onto the outside of Snowflake Caves, there was actually a respawn beacon. But that's a far cry from here where X and Y are getting into yet another fight. This time it's LGD Gaming. X and Y are doing such a good job of gating several teams now. Yeah, most definitely. They're just sort of working their way around the outer edge of this zone. They're not...
01:05:43 Particularly interested in making their rotations in early at all. More than happy to sweep the eastern flank. And they've very much done so. They've taken down two or three teams on that eastern flank, as you sort of allude to. So it's actually quite a comfortable, quiet side for them. At least for the next 10-15 seconds or so when they inevitably do have to push their way in. It's going to get a little bit more difficult.
01:06:08 By the way, to have Bearclaw also still kind in the thick of things. They've really been fighting hard this game. Only got the three points so far. I thought they might have had a little bit more than that, but WQ will be eliminated, and so too will Heroes and Bearclaw. In the blink of an eye, we go from 12 teams down to 9. X and Y might be about to make it potentially 8, because they look like they want to take this fight as well. Remarkable team off in the killfeed in the meanwhile there as well. But yeah, X and Y certainly not slowing down this pace that they've set.
Spieleinsichten und Teamstrategien
01:06:37
01:06:37 Oh, maybe the Crypto Drone, the EMP, is going to force them to. Yeah, I mean, Maker's blowing a lot of ultimates over here. We see Aegis just throwing out the Rolling Thunder, Justic X and Y at Bay. Luckily, they do have this nice little position here on the rocks that they can just chill for a moment. They've done such a good job of picking up KP, making it into the next zone, clearing out their backs and just, you know, rinse and repeat.
01:07:02 A really impressive game won here from X and Y, but they're right into the next zone will be via Makers, and that's an even harder fight for them. Well, MDY have been keeping their heads down pretty nicely, and looking reasonably healthy as a result of that. Gonna get some good scouting out of that EMP, out of that drone as well. Obviously, EMP's gonna be an option too, I suppose.
01:07:31 Kill Devil on the outer edge. A little bit of work to do to try to get their way in. There's some good damage coming out of this Havoc so far for Bolin, but eating as much, or if not more, in response. It's going to be a little bit of a hassle now for VKG.
01:07:52 Das ist mehr als ein Hustle. Sie haben einen Spieler, einen Spieler in der Box. Und jetzt ist es wirklich alles zu 9-5-1. GK, sie haben zu bekommen heute. Und sie sind in ein guter Platz hier. Sie sind in das Café. Outside, wir sind endlich das Torque. Wir waren allühten zu earlier. Makers und XMY jetzt kommen zu blows mit einem anderen.
01:08:16 Well, who comes away with the better of it? MDY are also having a bit of a look. They've decided to come out of their shell, come out of their building and see if they can nab a couple of points on the way through. Why? Trying to take it slow. Give XD a little bit of that time to get the bat off. Makers in that meanwhile as well able to get themselves a reset and now starting to put that chip damage back on Asia. Low. Back safe around the corner for a moment. Dexter will drop. And that's going to be the end of Asia as well. X and Y, they...
01:08:45 Well, they picked their timing pretty well in the fight against Makers, but they didn't quite calculate for MDY on the side. So it's both X and Y and Makers getting taken down, and MDY will claim their position. Okay, MDY. That actually buys them a lot of space in the circle here. You can see, partly in the building, there's a rock to play behind. There's got multiple angles, and that's what's so powerful in a late-game circle, whereas Kill Devil as a duo...
01:09:12 Sie haben einfach nur einen kleinen Schlüssel von Cover zu spielen. VEGAS Inferno ist da auf der GK. So GK ist da in der Cave, in der GK. Noe ist da mit dem Wotzenfenster, die Jukoi hat jetzt gerade gesetzt. Und dann ja, es VEGAS Inferno ist auf der top, in der Vantage Newcastle-Composition. Seems to be working out pretty nicely für sie. 11 Punkte so far.
01:09:41 Second for the lobby. They might well overtake, I believe it would have been X and Y that was at the top. That's all the fighting that they were doing, but now out of the pig shop. Zone's going to start to shift.
01:10:01 Ja, ein paar Minuten. Und so, das wird wo das alles anfangen. Aber für den Wienwahl, mit nur den vier Teamen, ich bin nicht sicher, dass wir zu viel Action werden. Killdevil wird vielleicht getrennt, aber... Beyond das... Ich bin nicht sicher, dass jemand wirklich zu keen, um ihre Position zu ändern. M.D.Y. auf ein slight Rotate hier, aber eher von einem Schiff-Damage-Temt. Und da ist der Newcastle. Kommt in die Pläne. A-Floh, wird es gut und safe sein.
01:10:32 Oh, yeah, GK just get deleted.
01:10:58 Mty are tearing through the lobby at the moment. There's another one for them, and this might just be the end as well. Mty so easily walked their way to a victory in Game 1. It's a big start to the Regional Finals of Split 2, and they will be very happy with that. Oh, wow. That was a very fun zone there. You know, lots of interesting fights in the middle there. I mean, you know, guild...
01:11:26 coming out there so early, X and Y having a really good game, but those couple of extra teams there are doing very well. Yeah, no, MDY kicking things off, of course, Elfish at the start there. This is, I guess, a team that I didn't really...
01:11:41 I guess, think to take, you know, the first match, but an excellent one by them. You know, there are a few other teams that are sort of keeping an eye on as well. GKE Sports literally sitting up there nicely to Elfish. Some of these teams, you know, I feel like they're at the bottom of the leaderboard, you know, coming into regional finals and they're like, not today. This is regional finals. We need to kick things off because we've got to make 50 points. But yeah, a huge game from them. How do you feel about, you know, MDY taking out the first game?
01:12:10 Ja, man, ich denke, das ist vielleicht der beste-taste Scenario, das wir haben für was vielleicht ein Tantalizinger Ende zu dem Tag, richtig? Weil, obviously, MDY, da sind 77 Punkte in heute, Dreamfire 85, das waren No. 8 und No. 7 auf den overallen Standings kommen in heute. So, wenn wir über die Kontext, again, von 7 Teams zu LAN...
01:12:32 Dreamfire being the team that you're trying to, at least initially trying to overtake. In fact, actually, we can lump Guild into that conversation as well, because Guild didn't have a very good first game either. Both Guild and Dreamfire not really getting too many points out of our very first game. MDY getting quite a few. Las Vegas Inferno, Bearclaw Gaming, all three of those teams all sort of had a decent start to the day. They're going to be looking at that and saying, okay, if we can sort of do...
01:12:54 ...ein dieser Lobby zu bekommen und vielleicht 25, 21 Punkte oder so. Das wird es ziemlich gut für uns zu übernehmen, die DREAMFIRE und GILD sind, die nicht bei einem Thread haben. Sie haben ein bisschen ein Gap, ein bisschen ein Buffer-Zone. 10 Punkte für GILD und 8 Punkte für DREAMFIRE in den overall Standings.
01:13:12 Das ist definitiv etwas, was man überwunden ist, und MDY haben alles, was sie tun müssen, um den richtigen Tag zu starten, um den richtigen Tag zu starten. Wobei Dreamfire, wenn du sie in der Tat erinnerst, waren die Antithesis der ersten Team, um das zu erinnern. Es ist ein sehr Tantalizinger Prospekt, aber wir werden sehen, wie das über die Zeit läuft. Es ist sehr schnell zu sagen, um das zu sagen.
01:13:33 Ja, let's take it back to, you know, Weibo doing it in three for you, Elfish. You know, coming out there with 17 points. So, you know, even though jokes aside, not a, you know, epic start for them. But of course, we know them as kind of a bit of a snowball sort of team where they just pick things up as the games go by. But MDY are getting themselves 18 points total in game number one. Vegas Inferno there with nine kills as well as the second place. That's another 18 for them. You know, they're going to...
01:14:03 Ja, look, I mean, I don't know why you had to do it to me like that. To be fair, I kind of had to do Weibo a bit like that, didn't I? Again, this is what you kind of get from Weibo, though. Like, they are very much a live-by-the-sword, die-by-the-sword team.
01:14:23 Du kannst sehen, in der letzten Spiel, dass sie immer noch spielen zu diesem Style, das ist ein sehr aggressiver, wir-wann-to-take-fights-on-the-Edge-Style. Und das ist was sie. Die Trouble ist, sie haben Legends, die sind natürlich ein sehr guter Team in ihrer eigenen Reihe, und es war auch die Third-Party kamen. So es war nicht wirklich gut für sie. Sie haben nur einen Punkt auf dem Board. Aber ja, die Teams, wie Guild und Dreamfire, sind beide auf der Grunde des Scoreboarden.
01:14:46 ...have a bit of catching up to do if they want to make sure that they at least hold on to one of those LAN spots. Yeah, of course. You know, still early days for us. It's only game at number one. But, you know, we're going to be definitely keeping a close eye on, you know, all teams around. Legends Gaming, of course, we have mentioned that they've got their golden ticket through to LAN. So, you know, knowing Legends Gaming, though, Elfish, they'll want to win everything and still have the ticket through to LAN. So, you know, we're definitely going to see them pick things up going into the...
01:15:15 ... ... ... ...
01:15:21 Killdevil might be one of the ones to sort of reach match point first. And they're doing incredibly well as well. Fifth place there with eight points. So it's something that we might see from them too. But, you know, it's very, very exciting just to see these teams sort of pull through the threshold and make themselves known in today's matches. But, you know, I'm very, I'm still very prominent that Legends Gaming is going to hit the 50 points first. I said it in seven games. I reckon they might get it in five games and then win it in six.
01:15:50 So, you know, I've been watching this team obviously very closely. We all have their first and second games. Yeah, they get the kill points there, but then they start to amp and ramp things up in the next coming games. So Elfish, that's my prediction, of course. You know, Waybo, your prediction was not going, you know, so closely there, but you know what, that's so fine. But we're going to take ourselves a short break, but let me hand it.
01:16:20 over to the coach of X and Y to take you through a wonderful scouting report of this epic team.
Analyse von Teamdynamiken und Strategien
01:16:29
01:16:29 My simple answer is yes. I think it's fundamentally changed a lot of how we draft, because XMI used to be a very poor team on Wolves Edge. We always had the poorest of POIs. We had LaunchSide, one of the worst POIs in Wolves Edge. So thank God Draft came in and saved us from having to play LaunchSide and having to worry about whether we get Dome every game or not. Because you had to fight two POIs and essentially you might lose one if you try both. I think Draft really saved us in that department, whereas on StormPoint...
01:16:58 We had Senate Caves to ourselves, right? And because of how draft plays out and everything, there's a chance we might not get the POI that we're most well-known to play from. So yeah, this is good and it's bad. It depends on where you were before that and what you're looking to get after the changes. One of the biggest challenges we had, we just had it last week. So XY, actually, we did this really interesting thing where we actually tried to...
01:17:23 Wir spielen in verschiedene Positionen, um sie zu lernen, wie verschiedene Positionen spielen, und wie verschiedene Spieler sehen die Spiel, um verschiedene Perspektiven zu machen. Das macht es für eine bessere Well-Render-Player. Aber was passiert last Woche war, weil wir XD auf Fuse hatten, da kam ein Problem, wobei ich, jetzt mein IJ ist auf Fuse. Wir wollen Quick und Dynamik Plays machen, aber es ist schwer für Fuse zu machen, weil er nicht die Bang, er ist nicht die Blood. Wir hatten eine Räde-Raffe letzte Woche, wo wir figuring out...
01:17:51 Hey, we were getting results with Fuse the week before, but what's going on now? So what we did was that we had a backroom talk and we essentially said, hey, at the end of the day, you got the experience. I think it's better if you shift back to your original role of playing Bang. XD went back to playing Bang. And then we just had a better game from there on out because he now has the experience of how his anchor player plays the game, how he views the game. So he's able to more comprehensively IGL. He's able to develop.
01:18:20 Es ist eine mehr Holistic-Game-Plan, als die Game-Progresses und so. So das ist eine der größten Herausforderungen wir hatten, die wir haben, das Spiel zu helfen, wie die Spiel zu spielen, aus verschiedenen Positionen zu spielen. Wir sind sicher, aber ich würde sagen, wir sind auch ein bisschen, wie ich sage, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, wie ich sage, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen.
01:18:48 But personally, we want to just play our own game and play the best Apex we could. And I'm glad to say that we're also bringing maybe potentially a couple of fresh new team comms to the original finals. How am I going to celebrate? I hope I find an org. I don't have to pay for my own flight tickets. And we're all going to ball out once we reach land.
01:20:04 Welcome back, everyone. We've just kicked things off here in Apex South. And if you're just joining us, welcome on in. And if you've been here from the start, we just had an epic game won from MDY. They took out six kills in the win, which totalling them for 18 points. But that's not without Vegas Inferno with nine kills in a second. But it actually makes them tied with MDY, Elfish.
01:20:28 Yeah, most definitely. Look, X and Y, not too far away from that one either. They picked up eight kills in that game too. So a couple of teams kind of plugging away at the points tally that is required. We've got to get to 50 and that's where things obviously then start to get a little bit interesting as far as, let's say these first sort of three, four games maybe are concerned. Usually it's actually maybe more like four or five kind of games before someone hits that match point total. These are like the staging.
01:20:52 Ja. Ja.
01:21:06 Plenty of opportunities once we get to that point. But yeah, we've still got a bit of a ways to go before we get there. Yeah, no, you always think these teams might keep the momentum. You know, they get these huge hitting games at the start. But, you know, it does sort of pave way for these other teams to sort of catch their way up. But, you know, our predictions might be cast aside. MDY, Vegas, X and Y on top at the moment. But let's find out now, guys. Let's head over for game number two. We're back on Stormpoint.
01:21:33 All right, back into it. And obviously that conversation, Juno, it's still early days, right? Like, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Great start for a couple of teams, but still a lot of time for most.
01:21:45 Ja, we usually end up somewhere around, you know, 7 or 8 matches. I think we had, was it last bit? It was a little longer than that.
01:22:13 Wir haben einen Blick auf den Map. Wir sind auch nach Norden. So, oh, will das one actually pull to Checkpoint? Oder will es gehen auf der anderen Seite? Das ist going to be interessant, dass wir einen Augenblick auf haben. Obviamente, wir haben einige Veränderungen zu den Zonen-Algorithmen lately. Mehr so in trying to make es ein bisschen mehr even, welche Quadrant die Zonen will pull to, um, aus der vier.
01:22:40 Das bedeutet, dass wir nicht mehr von der Skyhook-Zonen sehen können, oder was es in den Regionen gibt. Du kannst es in den gleichen Regionen bekommen, aber im Grunde genommen ist es, dass es für alle Teams ist. So, was du sagst, ist, dass es ein bisschen mehr likelihood wird, dass wir ein E-Zone als ein West-Zone als ein North-Zone als ein South-Zone als ein Initial-Zone als ein One-Pull.
01:23:08 Rather than going in the same sort of like northeast, northeast, northeast kind of time and time again. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So the game to game, yeah, it should be like that. But obviously, yeah, once it decides which quadrant it's going in, you know, from then on. Same, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I get it. Fair enough. What was the Firebird? Did just lose a player as well to start that round off, so getting a little bit...
01:23:34 Get a little bit cooked, actually, on that rotation in maybe around where VKG are right now. Remarkable Team have gotten into that mix, and Warmonster Firebird are obviously still sticking around because, well, they're thinking about recovering the banner, which is kind of in the thick of this fight. Remarkable Team are out of dodge ASAP. But VKG also worse for wear, though they've very quickly been able to grab 951's banner.
01:24:04 Und ich denke, sie werden sie versuchen, dass das Rez das schnellstmöglich ist. Vielleicht einfach nur auf der Seite des Re-Spawn Beacons. Das ist genau da, wo sie sind. So, vielleicht ist es kein Problem, kein Foul zu kommen, von dem Early Engagement, zumindest als VK Gaming ist. Ja, beide Teams werden dann vielleicht auch mit dem Re-Spawn. SWQ.
01:24:27 They were in the vicinity, but just like, not able to finish off either duo. Oh, let's keep going into zone, and we've got a remarkable team in the buildings west of Cascades down here. This is a nice little spot to try and hold any teams who are trying to get into checkpoint via the tunnels. Oh, actually, no, they're gonna head down into Cedo themselves. They just want to pick up that Ebo harvester and get themselves a little closer to purple.
01:24:54 Perfect sense. So this is the state of play right now in Checkpoint. Someone could well be pulling here. As you can see. Actually, that made it kind of look like Guild were in Checkpoint. But yeah, as you can see, they're not. They're actually on the other side of the mountains there. Themselves quite far from purple. So they're going to have to do a lot of damage and stay in this for a while. If they want to improve that position. Because there's... Yeah, I don't see them being able to get any more...
01:25:24 Objektiv throughout the rest of the game. Yeah, just sitting inside that bunker. They've obviously got the Watson, so Alternator Pilot definitely helped, but we'll be hoping for a northern pull, and I don't know how likely it is that this is going to end up being a super hard northern pull. BK Gaming losing another member, and that was at the hands of Weibo, who they still haven't really slowed anything down all that much. Info Gathering Tool, obviously, with the Crypto Drone. Not really seeing too much around them.
01:25:53 Und er hat einen Punkt gegeben, dass er eine für free ist. Der Tally von der ersten Spiel, das ist nichts mehr zu schreiben, um jetzt zu sagen, weil Weibo normalerweise nicht mehr zu tun. Und wir sind noch nicht in dieser Position, aber in den letzten Tagen. Wir geben ihn noch zwei oder drei Matches, bevor wir starten zu questionen.
Teamzusammensetzungen und Spielverlauf
01:26:19
01:26:19 Wir sehen uns auf die unglaubliche Array von Team Compos, die wir heute haben. Awesome zu sehen. Ist das 15%? Die Top-Pick-Position war 15%. Wie wir langt für diese Zeit, Elfisch. Ja, keine Veränderungen von Game 1 zu Game 2. Also, ich glaube, das macht Sinn. Wir müssen das in mind, um das nächste Spiel zu sein.
01:26:48 Welt's Edge. Wether that's going to change much up or not. I think it generally does. You know, you normally see like two, three teams maybe making a change based on map to map. Just checking in with VK Gaming again on the killfeed. They continue to lose members. So it looks like it's going to be a rough game for VKG and those points are going into the back pocket of Weibo, which I'm happy about.
01:27:14 Well, they've been quite a few fans after their Split 1. Running the showdown here in APAC South. That was short-lived, unfortunately. Not really living up to those standards at LAN. And falling short a little bit too here in Split 2. Or do they? Or do they? Can they pull a Striders from APAC North and essentially qualify from the brink of extinction here?
01:27:47 We've still got a lot of teams yet to even make a rotation in. I'm looking actually at Legends Gaming who are still out by Lightning Rod. So they've gone up from the wall to a sort of Zoo Station Lightning Rod type area and taking their sweet time about this rotation into the zone. Very much edge play. You can see there the one little purple word, Legend, in the top right corner. So they're not even on the map at the moment. That's how far away they are.
01:28:16 Evo's Predator also coming quite slowly out of Cenote Cave, and X and Y doing the same out of Pylon. So, it is taking a very, very slow game for some of these teams. Well, VKG, the remaining member, is trying to get into the wall to res. Oh, he might have actually pulled it off. I thought maybe Legends were gonna pull in right on top of him there, but... Oh, I think, yeah, I think they've actually spotted it. I think they're gonna go back in and try and grab these VKG kills.
01:28:48 Maybe. We'll have to hold that thought for the moment, because Weibo are up to some shenanigans in the trenches. We'll rotate out of the raid portal.
01:29:01 Und Rollin'Thunder ist auch in beiden direkten. Aber es ist wirklich so, dass es nicht wirklich zu kommen. Und eigentlich, dass wir mit Legends zurückkommen sind, dass es nicht so, dass sie die Kills auf VKG entschieden haben. Wir haben eine Rez in den Wall gewonnen. Und es war nur ein 1-man Rez. Also, QQ nicht zurück in den Spiel, unfortunately, für VKG. Wir müssen es als ein Duo machen.
01:29:32 This is all happening to the south of Checkpoint here. A couple of teams probably hoping that the zone's going to pull down here because none of them have this information. Apart from Warmaster Firebird, actually, who know that the team south of them are going to have to keep going. So they might be looking for that one. But teams who are going to be a little closer to the action come Zone 4, Zone 5. Like LGV Gaming.
01:29:56 Good shots out of that G7 Scout. Feiju. Nade. Doesn't look to have done too much damage. So, again, nothing really coming of those tags. Legends somehow flying over the top of like half the lobby and basically taking no damage at all. They've managed to get into the trenches.
01:30:16 Und dann ist er noch ein bisschen von Damage zurück. Strafing muss man sich nicht überlebt, dass er nicht überlebt ist. Aber sie sind wirklich in der Welt gehalten, weil sie sind wirklich zwischen verschiedenen Teams sind. Sie sind auf die Corner zwischen WeiboGaming und SWQ. So beide Teams haben ein bisschen ein Blick in den Legends an der Moment. Sie sehen, dass sie die Predikament sind. Das sieht nicht wirklich aus wie ein Position, dass sie zu lange halten werden. Aber ich weiß nicht, was andere Option sie haben wirklich.
01:30:44 I mean, it is holdable with Watson, as long as you get enough. But yeah, you can see teams down the south end here now starting to really crowd into this and try and make their way up into Checkpoint. It was Predator being held out by Remarkable Team, but then they're getting looked at by GK. There's so many teams down the bottom. But just as many...
01:31:09 Ja, EMP comes out to try to provide a bit of space. We're not going to slow things down at all.
01:31:38 They want to keep going forward, and they certainly will be doing so. L-Star in hand for Jackie Chan. And Legends eliminated early again. It hasn't been their day so far, but maybe a shift over to World's Edge with the first pick of Skyhawk West will change their fortunes.
01:31:57 Ich meine, es war ein guter Platz, aber es war sehr schwer zu halten. Und wie Sie sehen, die Pressure von SWQ, die ich glaube, in der einfach ein bisschen früher als sie, und Weibo, die, ihr wisst, um, zu nutzen, um die Ultimates zu pressureieren, war zu viel. Um, zu stabilisieren und zu handeln.
01:32:20 Ja, Weibo continue to play that fight heavy style. And the Wraith really facilitating that. You can see how it worked out for them there. On the topic of SWQ, they're also trying to be a little active right now. Maybe a little bit too active as Donut's going to go low. Chasing the bunker is going to happen, but that might have been an overcommitment. Let's see, it is SWQ up against Weibo and indeed was a bit of an overstep from Weibo. So their run comes to an end.
01:32:49 Quite unfortunately. Again, quite early. Grape Soda, Fossi. Once again, being the last man to hit the ground here. That was at the behest of Final Dream.
01:33:05 You should be able to just walk in here ahead of SWQ. Teams in the buildings though, only one of these buildings is in. And it's the one that Kill Devil is in right at the end there. So, Bearclaw looking to make their way in. They get on top of it, that's fine too. Not many other teams in this area actually.
01:33:30 Kill the devil. Wir sind jetzt auf den Moment. Wir sehen, dass sie jetzt werden. Es ist Bearclaw Gaming draußen. Wir hören mit Bearclaw und sehen, wie sie das fight machen können. Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig! Komm, er ist fertig!
01:33:59 Du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst du kannst
01:34:29 Okay, a tough one there for BCG. Getting chased out by FD. And straight into the waiting arms of Warmonster Firebird with the devotion. There we go. Not much. Longer for them. And now, yeah, look, Final Dream though. Getting the Crypto Scan onto Warmonster Firebird. And Fusers just whacking away at each other. Trying to keep each other at bay. They've got 50 seconds to sort this out.
01:34:58 So should be time to just wait out these ultimates, but... Well, not too many connections coming through here from Warmonster Firebird, despite all of the spam.
01:35:15 Actually, Casey's been knocked. So, this could get a little bit awkward. Dreamfire's kind of floating around the back side of this, by the way. I haven't really mentioned much about Dreamfire so far in this second game, but out in 20th in Game 1, but putting together a little bit of a better run here in Game 2 could start to pique our interest. Or pete our interest. If you all want to do. If you will.
01:35:42 Okay, so, wow, they've just, uh, you can see, they've just been keeping at each other all that entire time, and now they've kind of both left it a little too late, so those teams over on the east are going to have a fraught one in here.
01:35:56 You're going to have to run teams like Dreamfire, currently sitting in the bottom only two points to their name. And this is going to be such a tough run through, especially when you've got Guild sitting in the bunker that is going to be looking out. They've got a bang ult. They are holding onto this. Every single team running out of checkpoint in the next like 10 seconds.
01:36:16 Das war ein bisschen ein mishap. Bis zum nächsten Mal. Okay, wir haben vielleicht den Rest von Dreamfire-Deciding, dass sie das einfach machen können, das ist fair genug.
01:36:38 Ich weiß nicht, es funktioniert. X und Y geteilt, aber Zone ist sicher zu werden. Und sie sind sicher zu werden, und sie sind sicher zu werden. Guild ist auf die Hölle an dem Moment. So, auch ein paar Leute, in den Trenches. Ja, Dreamfire, Dune und Dusted, an der Hand von Flower. Kannst du believe es? Guild, auf der anderen Seite, sind pretty. Ja, nicht zu werden, mit der Flow von Las Vegas Inferno. Wir gehen jetzt mit Guild, zu sehen, ob sie können durch die Top 5 zu Top 1.
01:37:10 Ich kann... Oh, ich kann... 64, eins auf Pop! Okay, diese Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute, die Leute!
01:37:32 Ja. Wir sind einfach in den Hüggen, okay? Ja, wir sind einfach in den Hüggen, okay? Ja, wir sind einfach in den Hüggen. Ich bin nicht in den Hüggen. Ich bin nicht in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen. Sie sind in den Hüggen.
01:38:01 Team on the right still. Yeah, it's DF, it's DF. Batting? DF died. DF died, yeah. Different team. Oh, it's a different team. Walk up to the stitch in front of us. Yep. Yep. We gotta walk it up slow right, I mean slow left. Find me. Alright, alright. One, find himself. I'm batting. Still holding. Play slow. Killing. It's getting left.
01:38:28 Ja, ich hab ihn. Ich hab ihn.
01:38:58 I'm not gonna look at all right okay
01:39:03 All right, well, that's the end of Guild Esports. Not at the hands of Dreamfire, as they thought it was, but certainly at the hands of SWQ. We've got Heroes left remaining, and, uh, well, who else is sitting in here? There's another team hanging around, but Heroes and SWQ are certainly the two superpowers. It was Final Dream, that was that third, sort of, party that, unfortunately, wasn't really invited, actually, to the party. It's just Heroes and SWQ now. They're back to full strength, or for the most part.
01:39:30 Heroes are at the full strength, but he does get taken back down by Donut. We're back into the two-on-two. Yuling was out of the picture for quite a while. SWQ might just be able to clutch something out as a duo. Kisans, last man standing. Donut 1HP can't get it done. And Heroes will take Game 2 of the Regional Finals.
01:39:50 Damn, das war eine Close-Won da. Das letzte paar Hemlock-Shots haben wir schon fast mit SWQ über den Topf, aber es ist Heroes... ...trying zu durch hier zu bekommen und zu bekommen das Golden Ticket, das 1st-Place-Win und das Ticket zu Mannheim-Less.
01:40:08 I quite literally gasped there, Gino. That was such a tantalising 1v1 there and Heroes managed to take out the win. I was just literally holding on just because that...
01:40:21 Last little pop shot there. Just managed to secure them the win. But yeah, what an epic feat from them. That was game number two. That was followed away under. Incredible genome. What a great feat from all that stuff. You know, I was kind of keeping a close eye on MDY there. They managed to get themselves a few more points. I'm so excited to see, I guess, the leaderboards and how that's going. But a few teams that, you know, have shuffled their way up. Congratulations to Heroes. And then SWQ also coming in very quickly.
01:40:50 Ich glaube, es war sehr schön. Es war einfach der G-Dome. Sehr schön zu sehen von SW2, ich glaube, dass sie eine force heute haben. Sie haben nicht nur die Wünge gemacht, aber das ist okay. Es ist eine Pointe Finale, du willst die Wünge, richtig? Ja. Das muss man die Wünge.
01:41:10 Yeah, quite literally, they're just getting their way up this leaderboard. And if I've seen anything from SWQ, we've always talked about that when it comes to these later matches, they just seem to really switch on and become incredibly smart in their place, always creating such space for themselves, clearing their backs whilst getting KP.
01:41:31 Getting that win, quite literally, we've seen that from them throughout this split. So, you know, getting second place is huge from them. And I just, you know, I feel like they're going to be one of the teams to get a win and reach that point. I feel it. I just feel it in my bones, Gino. Yeah, I think that's a fair feeling. Running away with, what is that, 14 points here for SWQ. A couple of big...
01:41:57 Teams out on the top though there, you know, Heroes picking up 21. That's very solid, especially when you consider, I mean, I guess they got 3k damage done overall, but yeah, you can see a lot of that off the back of Kissands. Fuse definitely still pickable. A lot of teams have been shifting away from him this week, but we've had, I think we had several examples in that game of how much pressure that one singular character can put out.
01:42:24 Yeah, and I must touch on, this has been the first time I have ever seen such different, I guess, character selection genome. You know, we're so used to seeing such a, you know, meta that's like across all teams. You know, we've had sort of not jokes about Vantage coming into the meta or even, you know, I guess more Watson picks, etc. But we're getting Pathfinders. We're getting...
01:42:52 We're getting caustic still. Like, this has been insane the way that everything has changed so much for these teams. And I guess, yeah, with so many different metas for each team, it's been kind of a little refreshing. And, you know, it may make for teams to be a little bit more aggressive because they're sort of picking that pathfinder and stuff like that. But, you know, Heroes have moved up 12 spots, 24 points for them. They've taken over, you know, tied with MDY, which is a...
01:43:21 Huge game number two. Vegas Inferno, you know, dropping about one spot, but still very much in contention for that 50 points match point eligibility. So great from them. I guess another team that sort of swooped up is SWQ. They have to pay eight points genome. So it's huge changes only just in match number two. Yeah, indeed. There's so many teams there that need to have a really...
01:43:49 Big game day to actually make it through. Because the delineation between 7th and 8th means that to remove anyone who's already in the top 7 is a big ask. Teams like SWQ have just had a solid effort so far this season. And yeah, they've given themselves a bit of a buffer.
01:44:13 Yeah, it's just been really refreshing to see them sort of pave the way and change a little bit. But, you know, 12th in third place and coming out in second in just only our second match. We, of course, have no idea how many games we're going to play.
01:44:25 Play today, of course, because it's match point format. And if you don't know what that is at home, well, that's you got to earn yourself 50 points. So any team that reaches 50, they will then need to get themselves a win right after that thresh point. So let's head over to a break, but we're going to give it over to Crazy Kong to take us through.
01:44:47 Wir haben in der zweiten Überschrift nicht viel verändert. Wir haben in der zweiten Überschrift noch viel verändert. Wir haben in der zweiten Überschrift noch viel geholfen. Wir haben in der zweiten Überschrift noch viel geholfen. Ich finde, die neue Überschrift nicht verändert hat. Wir haben die neue Überschrift sehr gut gemacht. Wir haben in der ersten Überschrift noch viel Spaß gemacht. Wir haben in der ersten Überschrift geholfen. Wir haben in der ersten Überschrift geholfen.
01:45:17 Ich denke, es wird sich um die Veränderung zu verändern. Ich denke, es wird sich um die Veränderung zu verändern. Ich denke, es wird sich um die Veränderung zu verändern. Wir sollten sich um die Veränderung zu verändern, um mehr Menschen zu fühlen.
01:48:05 And welcome back, everyone. You just witnessed Heroes take out the win in game number two with the draw dropping 1v1 against SWQ. That's getting themselves 24 points overall. So we're going to say that they're 26 points away from Matchpoint eligibility. Our teams need to get themselves 50 points today for Matchpoint and then get a win after that to take away the gold today. But what a...
01:48:34 Epic game from Heroes Genome. Yeah. Good maths there, Lace. It was a solid game from Heroes. Having a look at the comps that they've been running so far, they've been one of the teams picking up that Pathfinder, right? This legend that we just haven't seen in the longest time in an ALGS meta. And part of that comes from, I think, his...
01:48:56 new Zipline Zen ability, which means that your team is going faster down that Zipline now, and it also gives them the damage reduction as you are making those rotations. So in these late-game zones, you know, I think rotations that previously would have only been achievable by perhaps Wraith, now you can get them off the back of the Pathfinder.
01:49:18 Yeah, and it's been super refreshing. You know, we've always talked about having Pathfinder back into the games. You know, we remember the days of the Watson, the Gibraltar and the Parthy. But to have these sort of teams come back with this, you know, also opens up a more aggressive playstyle, not only on top of like all the abilities that Pathfinder has. You know, it's easy for this team to sort of maneuver their way, I guess, away from a fight and, you know, be the ultimate rat if they need be.
01:49:41 Ich glaube, ich bin nicht super surprised, Bangalore ist noch ein bisschen ein pick. Obviamente mit Bangalore jetzt...
01:50:03 Highlighting enemy plays in the smoke. I believe that's at a 20-meter range, though. So it still provides cover from far back. But, you know, up in those smoke fights, it's so much easier to see them so we don't see blood here. But, you know, let's just move on over. We just finished our games on Storepoint for two matches. We're going to head over to World's Edge now. This is match number three.
01:50:26 Ja, indeed. Es ist World's Edge, of course. Und für vier Teams werden sie ihre Composition verändern. Vegas Inferno, Guild Esports, LGD und SWQ verändern. Ich denke, die große Sache für mich, Genome, die ich für mich für hier ist, Legends, können sie verändern? Ja, sie haben vier Punkte auf dem Board so far. Sie hatten die erste Wahl von POI auf jeden Map, die sie vielleicht haben. Sie wählen Skyhook West, so...
01:50:55 Now is not the time for them to prove to us why that choice might have been made, because the game has unfortunately been ended. So...
01:51:04 We'll have to be taking a short moment to sort that one out. But that was the storyline that I wanted to lead into with that one. And I think maybe something we can talk about here anyway, Lace, because obviously for Legends, right? Like, you know, we sort of had our questions. Why have they gone for this as their first POI pick? And this would have been the opportunity or will be the opportunity for them to prove it, especially given how poorly the day has actually started for them.
01:51:27 Yeah, well, we were obviously talking about, you know, Cito Station being quite a, you know, sought-after POI and Legends being able to choose first, but I guess picking the wall, you know, watching them sort of, I guess, I'm dare saying they're trying to change things up in case they head over to land because they have a one-way ticket. They are locked in for it. So then in case that they're on the main stage and they...
01:51:54 Ich glaube, es ist nicht ihr Lieblingsspieler. Sie werden lernen, wie sie ihren Weg aus diesem Raum machen können. Ich glaube, ich sehe die Wahrnehmung im Hintergrund. Aber auch, mit Legends Gaming zu wissen, dass sie wahrscheinlich wieder einmal gewinnen können. Sie haben die Ticket, sie haben die Passion, die Power gewinnen. Es ist nicht ein guter Start für sie, Gino.
01:52:16 Well, I think the only other thing that came to mind about why they might have changed POIs, potentially. I mean, you know, if you saw the draft pre-show, Droga just said it was straight trolling. So, I don't know. That could be one reason. But the other one would be the Legend composition changes we've seen come through from Legends Gaming today, right? You know, they're playing with Advantage now. This is, you know, completely breaking new ground.
01:52:42 So, you know, potentially that sort of playstyle works better from, you know, some different POIs there. So, that's the only other thing I can think of. But yeah, honestly, you know, I think they'd have to get 19th or 20th and Makers have to come first.
01:53:02 für sie zu dropen 1st-Place und nicht die 20,000 Dollar zu kommen 1st-Place in Split 2 hier. So, you know, sie könnten Cliffside und Don, und ich auch noch nicht, dass sie es sind. Ja, aber ich möchte, dass sie in 19th-Place jetzt sind. So, es ist so, es ist unglaublich, aber du hast, Makers wins dieses nächste Spiel, Legends goes out. Wir sind auf die Räste, vielleicht.
01:53:31 Yeah, no, that's very true. You know, you kind of think, you know, they've got this in the bag, but you just kind of forget about the dollar signs behind it as well. You don't really want to drop out of that spot, but, you know, maybe they're just handing it over. But let's take a look at exactly like these legend picks, because we've been talking about how this meta has absolutely just been flipped on its head, which has been crazy. Still Bangalore out in front, you know, we're still going to see Bangalore be quite a chosen pick along with Watson. But, you know...
01:53:59 Elfish, I want to go, you know, down to the bottom with these crazy picks. You know, Gino was just talking about Vantage. Do you have any reason why you feel Vantage might be, you know, back into meta or into meta for the first time? I've got to be honest with you, Lace. I have absolutely no idea because the thing is, like, these teams all...
Team Composition und Legenden-Picks in der ALGS
01:54:17
01:54:17 You can come in with anything and have some kind of argument to be made for it. You know, we've got the Valkyrie in, it's like, why have we got a Valkyrie? Well, I don't know, maybe these guys just like to rotate a little bit more, something like that. Why have we got a Newcastle? You'd have to talk to the team specifically about how they want to be making those compositions work and what kind of comfort they have and what kind of playstyle they want to bring to the table, right? It is just something to do with what they are feeling is good on the day and what they're feeling comfortable with. One thing that I wanted to actually point out coming into this, and it's not reflected on this graphic, but...
01:54:46 So, we may see 59 out of 60 for the Bangalore picks.
01:55:12 going into the next game. So, that'll be an interesting one. I think that's the first time we haven't had a Bangalore.
01:55:19 Yeah, that's very true. Now, I do want to say that I was sort of ducking around Designful from DSG and I was sort of going, Vantage, what's the pick? So this has just come to mind. And he said it's to create a little bit of space for themselves because he said point blank, I want to pop someone right in the face when they run up to me. So that was the reason behind Designful picking Vantage just to be able to get that epic damage that, you know, Vantage's ultimate ability has, Genome. So I don't know if you can sort of take us through maybe
01:55:49 ein bisschen mehr in-depth zu welchen Teams sind Vantage. Wir starten mit den Umbrella von Recon Heroes. Sie wollen die Survey-Beacons zu beheren. Du hast ein paar Fragen. Du kannst mit Bloodhound gehen.
01:56:05 Not so great anymore. The Threat Vision doesn't penetrate Bangle or Smoke. What's the point? You're really relying on the Scans. If you're relying on the Scans, why not just go to Seer? That's why you're seeing a lot of teams pick up that character now. Vantage offers a couple of good things here. Not so much, honestly, on the upgrade sides. It's really the base kit.
01:56:28 Ich meine, sie haben Ringmaster, das, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr.
01:56:56 And it actually amps up the damage from your team, right? It's one of those cute little things that we don't really talk about a lot, because obviously she hasn't been on ALGS before. But...
01:57:07 15% extra damage for, I think it's 10 seconds, after she hits someone with the sniper's mark, as well as getting that info about how many members of their team are up, and what colour armour they've got as well. So there's just a lot of information and advantage, and it's really good for anchor players, which is why, even on Legends Gaming, you're seeing Player K, for like the first time ever, give the Watson over to Easy Flash.
01:57:34 Easy Flash? I didn't even see Easy Flash as, you know, generally the one that's sort of running around and, you know, taking down whatever's left of a team. So that's actually quite exciting to hear, you know. I guess, you know, all these teams sort of come in and want to change things a little bit. But, you know, in regional finals, it's kind of crazy when they utilize all the different characters and then, you know, absolutely.
POI-Draft und Teamstrategien auf World's Edge
01:57:56
01:57:56 We're going to take ourselves over to the World's Edge Beacon. So we're going to see exactly where our teams have selected. We have been talking about Legends Gaming and their pick on
01:58:25 Storm Point, where they chose the wall, where they could take Cedo. But, you know, they took Skyhook West Genome, so that is their first chosen POI. Well, they certainly didn't get the points on Storm Point, did they? So we really have to hope that Legends' first pick of Skyhook West here works out for them. It has not typically, actually, throughout...
01:58:47 you know the the split two here for apac south but you know that's because a lot of different teams have been picking it um and i think this split if anything has said that you know it really is more about your team than it necessarily is about a poi yeah and i also want to have a look at grape soda uh they i think managed to have zeus station on storm point and they get siphon west uh on world's edge elfish
01:59:13 Und ich glaube, dass sie ihre Draft pick haben, ich glaube, sie hat es gut. Ja, definitiv. Ich meine, die erste Team, das war wirklich interessant war, war GK, der Big Mord. Und das ist nicht so schabby, als das wirklich der letzte Pick, das du vielleicht hast. Ich weiß nicht, wir werden sehen, wie es sich um, aber für mich...
01:59:33 I feel like most teams have actually ended up pretty happy with how things have played out. I think this draft system has actually been a great success, honestly. I wasn't too sure about it, to be honest with you. I was a bit like, oh, this doesn't really line up too nicely for me. But I like this from the production. Let's see what we get. Is it going to be 19 Bangalore picks? It is. Surely not the 20th. This is live happening right now, I think, as the pick in Game 3 is going on. So, yeah, it looks like they have...
02:00:01 Um, stuck with it again. I mean, it wasn't quite 100%. I went back and had a look. I think it was something like 95% plus for Bangalore. Um, so yeah, it's just been ridiculously popular so far this split. Yeah, we've only got the one Vantage in there now, you know? That's definitely maybe a Sword Art character on, I guess, Storm Point, but, you know, not so much on World's Edge. We've got...
02:00:26 Two Wraith picks as well. So I'm going to be very excited to see that one unfold. But let's take it away. This is finally game number three, everybody. Thank you for being so patient. And we'll join you over on World's Edge. Let's take it away.
02:00:40 Okay, let's get going once again. And I'll pose that same question to Legends. Can they manage to turn their day around and prove to us why exactly they have gone to Skyhook West as the first pick of any point of interest on any map? Well, this will be the game to do it in because teams, they're not, you know, they're not quite at that position where it's like getting really dangerous. But, you know, one big game for Heroes or MDY or even Vegas Inferno.
02:01:06 x and y might be able to get them actually over that match point threshold of 50 points if they were to perhaps find themselves like a 20 kill win here yep one big game it's always uh it's always a talking point isn't it's always possible and having a look at where that circle is pulling we're going north we're going somewhere uh i'm gonna guess somewhere around survey camp actually from this one
02:01:31 I mean, we're getting a lot of, you know, sort of debate circles from World's Edge. Maybe it pulls back down to Grandma's house there with the survey beacon on it. But I guess we'll just have to see. So fun to see all the variety in our Legend picks across the board there. And just to touch on two of those points about the draft, the POI draft that we were looking at before Elfish. The reason Grape Soda managed to get Siphon, and I think it was in something like...
Taktische Entscheidungen und frühe Kämpfe auf World's Edge
02:02:00
02:02:00 Die 36th pick overall war, dass sie zu Contest haben. Und natürlich haben wir gesehen, sie zu Contest haben. Das war sehr, sehr gut. Es ist noch eine der Taktik, die du in deinem Bag hast, wenn du es all in deinem Bag warst. Und das war sehr gut, in der Grape Soda. Und die andere war das Big Mac.
02:02:27 Big Mort and Stax interaction. I like that. That's actually a good shout. Yeah, look. Maybe my stomach's talking instead of the rest of me right now. But Makers have made their way from Stax. They've negative rotated down to Dome to pick up some extra Evo down there. And actually, Evo's Predators are flying in on top of them. So who knows? We could get a very early fight very far away from the rig right now. That is wild. I was just about to mention that because I was looking at the map as well and I've seen Evo's Predator heading directly at them.
02:02:56 We'll talk about that if we get that on the main feed, but that does seem to be a fight that's kind of brewing down in the dome. In the meanwhile, a lot of teams obviously rotating their way up in towards Survey Camp, which is where the next couple of rings are going to be headed. Warmonster Firebird, one of those teams with the info early. And so they'll be on that rotation pretty quicksmart as well, but they've been bitten to the punch by MDY, by SWQ.
02:03:18 Well, there's two buildings free, but they've got no...
02:03:44 Can't find it. They've got no evac towers. So it's like, how do you get there? Can you safely rotate into one of those? And they decide to go backwards, actually. And it looks like they will be sitting just outside the train tunnels there. And even further north, these things potentially banking on it being, you know, I call it a pretty old school circle if it does end up pulling towards the northern respawn beacon.
02:04:09 And quite a few teams playing up from here. So you can see Heroes playing at the tunnel. And then you've got Guild looking over at Bearclawed Gaming. Um, sitting above the train track. So this is an important position to fight for. Oh, um. Empty wire's out. Yeah, I think it was only the one member left alive in the caravan in the middle of the survey camp. So, looks like Wagenstern has gone down as well.
02:04:36 Das war ein Turn of Events, das wir nicht erwarten können, wie M.D.Y. angefangen die Lobby zu haben.
02:04:45 Oh, sorry, not the lobby, for this particular day. Well, this game didn't go very well for them, it has to be said, but... Again, most teams will be happy to see MDY going out early, because it's just one less team that might be able to threaten matchpoint a game earlier, or a couple of games earlier. It's kind of important to be keeping that in mind. Even more so for these teams today than in any other particular day. You kind of do need to be looking at who's actually...
02:05:13 In a position to maybe go to match point. Obviously then once they get there you have to be aware of that as well so. Can be a lot of mental gymnastics having to go on throughout the day. LGD not one of those teams that's nearby at the moment. Four points only for the day so far. It really hasn't come together for these guys. Getting stuck in some awkward fights. But they'd be hoping that Worlds Edge is going to bring a little bit of a wind of change with it.
02:05:44 LGD-Taking. Wir sind auf der Kille. Ich weiß nicht, wie lange das dauert. Sie können sehen...
02:05:55 Also getting the callouts there on the banners. On World's Edge to tell them how many teams nearby. Crypto perks, not something that we've had to, you know, think about a lot or chat about a lot previously, but they are coming into their own here in the Regional Finals.
02:06:17 Es ist ein bisschen weniger Spiel auf World's Edge, als wir sehen auf Stormpoint so far haben. Vielleicht nicht mehr als Egregious wie ein Circle Pool. Es gibt noch viel mehr Platz. Weibo, der Zeit in Fragment ist. GK ist die gleiche an EpiCenter. Ein Thema interessiert mich natürlich ist, dass die Legends noch immer in Skyhook West sind. Ich bin auf der Zeit, wie sie geht, wie sie geht.
02:06:48 Yep, definitely playing it slow.
Teamkämpfe, Eliminationen und Matchpoint-Potenzial
02:06:52
02:06:52 Und ich denke, so far, sie haben sich gerade wegen des... was wir, äh, gehört Janlees zu sagen in der Interview, Elphish, was dass die Teams sind zu spielen, sie sind zu spielen, sie sind zu spielen, sie sind zu spielen, sie sind zu spielen, sie sind zu spielen in der Region Finale. Es gibt mehr auf die Linie hier, und es verändert die Weise diese Lobbys funktionieren. Und so Legends, in diesem Late Rotate-Style hier, ist die DREAMFIRE WAITING! Oh, die Prefire!
02:07:21 Even getting the Watts Offences set up, I think that's a cursed portal coming out there from probably Weibo. Weibo or SWQ are the only teams that have the Wraith. SWQ also in the Survey Camp. Yeah, since there might be an SWQ in the end. Weibo still haven't really quite made their way out of Fragment just yet.
02:07:44 But either way, nothing really to come off that engagement. Final Dream now trying to make their way in. And they are going to run into LGD, though it's a sort of three-way split here from LGD. They've already lost Mingue as well, so LGD are actually going to have to hightail it. Phaedrus going down the hill, is being farmed, and surely just going to be picked up right here. But Aimbot, maybe not living up to the name, hasn't quite managed to get that knock, though Phaedrus will still go down.
02:08:12 Und so das ist, dass die Kürtens für LGD jetzt. Als sie jetzt zu Solo sind. Und aus der Zone auch. Also nicht ein guter Platz zu sein. Das macht es ein bisschen einfacher, wenn du den Drone folgst, um ihn auszutauschen, als er auszutauschen kann.
02:08:33 Und als die Circle geht, dann geht es noch mehr nach. Jetzt sind wir die Heroes looking in auf Legends. Sie kommen in von Skyhook East, hier. Obviamente Skyhook West, wo sie spielen ist, Trials, ist genau das kind of POI, wenn sie auf Evo gehen wollen. So sie kommen in auf Purples, hier, gegen die Mostly Blues von Heroes.
02:09:03 Legends are being as patient as they possibly can.
02:09:08 Yeah, they don't want to wait too long though. X and Y are on the backside here. And they started chucking in some shots. The Nemesis now just tickling, strafing flame. And they can't see the gem. So actually, JR's feud ult is wasted. Luckily zapped away from the safety of the interception iron there. But that does mean that time is potentially running out here from Legends. As heroes start moving up and putting pressure on them. They know they can't really move behind either.
02:09:36 Well, they're going to get the Crossfire. Well, Guild have lost MT in the meanwhile, down to just a duo, and that isn't going to last very long, because Jesko's going to be dropped as well. Legacy is hightailing it. Trying his best to survive, but as the sole member now remaining, it's not going to be an easy task. Legends, on the other hand, are going to turn their attention back around onto X and Y. Surely this is just not going to work out for Legends at the moment. Trying to hold strong behind that pylon, but they're being pushed by multiple teams. Smokes down in their way.
02:10:05 Es ist ein bisschen ein Problem, aber wir haben ein bisschen Zeit, aber wir haben einen Moment von Respite. Wir müssen uns hören und sehen, wie Legends fühlen, als dieses Spiel läuft. Oh, just chill first, chill first, chill first, chill first. You need it, Jen. Jen, in front of us, and then I can res, okay? Yeah. Jen, I'm resing. I've got no cross. Can I stick? I'm sticking. They're not going to push us. Just relax. I'll shield it. I'll shield it.
02:10:35 I'm trolling. Alright, well, a pretty doomed one for Legends, and unfortunately there was nothing they could really do there. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, and the first pick of Skyhook turns out to be a zero point game. I mean, Strafing Flame's confidence in himself and his calls is one of the strengths of him and this team, but you can see there, they're not gonna push us. Unfortunately, it doesn't mesh with reality, and heroes will...
02:11:04 Klingbeam-Loki, das wird die Ende des Makers auch. So zwei der Top-Teams von der Regular-Split sind hier in der Welt.
02:11:27 Dreamfire floating around there as well. I can see them getting active back and forth. You can see on the map there through the Wraith portal, but... Someone's going to continue to pull it in onto Survey Camp. I don't know if... Do you get the sense now? I wonder if this is fair to bring up at this point, because again, Legend's obviously a fantastic team, but are they maybe in the same vein as Reignite, where they just dominate the regular split and then don't seem to come together in these Regional Finals? Ooh... Interesting. I...
02:11:57 No, I genuinely do think they're trying out some different stuff. It's probably more a factor of them limit testing and some other things. And it's a weird time to do it, but as we said, they've played so well throughout the regular season that they can afford to. Fair enough. Well, Weibo can't really afford to be having many more bad games if they want to be staying in the hunt for a spot at LAN. Final Dream getting eliminated at the hands of Weibo.
02:12:24 They haven't done a bad job of putting one or two points on the board per game, but they haven't really been missing out on those big, big games that we're used to seeing from them. And this may start to have the makings of one of those games. They're kind of starting to work their way through Epicenter, clearing out a couple of teams. E-Sports in the meanwhile do get shafted, and that was more or less expected. It's been a bit of a tough run there for Legacy, who was the last man standing for quite a while.
02:12:57 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
02:13:13 Not looking very good there for Weibo anymore. GK is another one of those teams that really has to happen. There we go. Weibo done. It really has to happen in the most perfect way it possibly could, right? They have to win this lobby or they don't make it to land. They just don't have any possibility of making that catch up on points happen today. So they're sort of floating around. I think they were seventh or so there we saw on the scoreboard. So good game here. Get into the match points.
02:13:42 Und, er, ihr könnt auf den Races gehen, aber... Es ist immer noch so early in die Zeit hier. Game 3... Wir sind nicht wirklich... ...having jemand pressen auf 50 Punkte jetzt. Heroes ist auf 28. Und sie sind noch nicht in den Norden-Side-Train-Tunnel. Das ist nicht ein schlechtes Spot zu sein, aber... ...next-Zone-Shift wird sie rauskuchen. Ich denke, dass wir wirklich noch 22 Punkte bekommen haben, von diesem Spiel.
02:14:09 Ich meine, das ist ein großer Arsch von einem Spiel, wirklich.
02:14:16 Ja, das war sehr schön.
02:14:44 Warmonster Firebird need every little bit of helping hand that they can get. Here's Heroes, that team that we were talking about, having to now start thinking about making their move. Were they to push out of here, they would have to go past X and Y and then... They'd also have Warmonster Firebird on their south. So X and Y on the north, Warmonster Firebird on their south, and then BK Gaming out to the east in the buildings. This is a gauntlet run if I've ever seen one from Heroes. I don't know how they're gonna make this one work, but...
02:15:10 Laheim ist in den Schmocken. Die Schmocken ist gut genug für den Schmocken. Und X und Y sind einfach von überall. Vielleicht ist der Schmocken zu fangen. Das ist die Möglichkeit für die Heroes. Die Schmocken getrennt der Schmocken. Aber das wird aus dem Schmocken. Aber das wird aus dem Schmocken, in den Schmocken, so zu sprechen. Und das ist der Ende der Schmocken, auch. Es hat gesagt, dass es noch ein oder zwei Punkte zu bekommen.
02:15:35 Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, and you do the best you can. Warmonster Firebird also trying to do the same. And a res here would perhaps be wishful thinking. I mean, they're sitting in number one spot overall. You can see that Las Vegas Inferno with a couple of consistent games are now threatening to overtake them. That said, they're not in the best spot. They are the furthest from this final circle of anyone left in the lobby. Talking about gauntlets.
02:16:05 Las Vegas Inferno are about to have to run theirs. Instead, it might have an opening. Killdevil in a fantastic, they're the ones in Godspot up here, just firing down upon everyone. And maybe if they turn their sights on to say VKG and help out a team like Las Vegas Inferno, if they can grab that crossfire, that will allow them a path into that final circle. But Killdevil is just doing their best right now to make sure everyone else is feeling under pressure on the walking.
02:16:34 Ja, das ist definitiv möglich. Die Vegas Inferno werden wirklich zu machen, das eine gute Zeit ist. Und tatsächlich, ich wirklich nicht minde das. Der Fakt, dass alle drei davon haben, dass das zipline ist, ist ein absoluter Miracle, als ich bin. Aber sie machen es, so das ist ein Schritt weiter. Still noch ein bisschen weiter zu pushen, aber...
02:16:56 At least they have some cover to play around now, they've been able to find that reset, and they can actually kind of take the fight. Woah, Killer Pulse has gone straight into the thicket things right there, and I think he's just been picked up straight away. So SWQ, a little bit worse for wear at the moment. GK, down to Yukoi. It is getting very messy around the back side of this building. Everyone apart from BCG and Kill Devil about to be involved in this fight. Dreamfire, they...
02:17:22 Seemingly went into this with no hesitation. Perhaps a little bit more confidence than they deserved, but they're trying their best here to whistle down the teams. No name. Just going to try and pick up a couple of extra points on the back end there, confirming the kills that he's gotten.
02:17:40 Oh, mein Gott.
02:18:09 With a massive shield advantage. Reds over Blues at the start of that one will not come out on top. So Kill Devil leverage their position to the absolute maximum here. And will grab the resets. Goldknocks coming out of the boxes here to help them get on even faster. And as you say, a couple of other squads, including Dreamfire now, making their way towards them. Noname is farming at the moment.
02:18:37 I'm surprised no one pushed Kill Devil there. They were also able to get that full reset. There's three players back up.
02:18:44 Las Vegas Inferno sitting in the center of the zone. Trying to sort of hunker down. Dreamfire is the only one that's really trying to force the issue at the moment. You can tell why. Look at these shots coming through. 3MZ get some good ones. But Pete down as well. It is now just 3MZ and he is done. Dreamfire out. Kill Devil remaining alongside Bearclaw Gaming. Yeah, but Bearclaw are down to two members. So this should be a pretty straightforward one for Kill Devil over the top. Eva 8. It is crunching.
02:19:11 und Killdevil wird die Nummer 3 nehmen. Es gibt noch niemanden mit der Matchpoint-Eligibilität, aber vielleicht im nächsten Spiel.
02:19:27 Wow, what an epic game. Number three. That was absolutely exciting. I'm literally on the edge of my seat there for Dreamfire. That is crazy. What an epic fight they had against SWQ and then managed to get a reset there. I really feel like they are back.
02:19:46 Baby, they want to take to the stage. They want to make it again in the sights of everybody. So, you know, that was a huge game from them. Obviously, they got to sort of creep their way up the leaderboard. But, you know, they had such passion in game number three. So, you know, it's really awesome to see Dreamfire hone in and be able to be, you know, one of those teams to fight for the top. But, of course, we can't take that away from Kill Devil, who just took out the win in that game. What a goddamn match three.
02:20:15 Ja, das war eine große Herausforderung für Legends-Gaming. Ja, eine große Herausforderung für Legends-Gaming. Ja, das war eine große Herausforderung für Legends-Gaming. Ja, das war eine große Herausforderung für Legends-Gaming. Die Problem mit der Position für sie, bei dem an der Zeit war, ist, dass sie keine Abilität zu spielen pro-activer, richtig? Sie können nicht zu wählen, wie das Spiel spielt. Sie sind wirklich auf der Merse, ob sie einen Team pushen uns, ob sie beide pushen uns.
02:20:39 Und wenn sie beide pushen uns, dann sind wir ultra screwed. Wenn sie einen Team pushen uns und dann die andere Team pushen uns, dann sind wir wahrscheinlich screwed. Wenn sie auch nicht pushen uns, dann können wir uns nicht tun. Denn als wir das Corner bleiben können, wir sterben. Also, es ist kein guter Weg da, aber nicht in das Corner zu Beginn mit. Aber das ist natürlich nicht wirklich... Das ist natürlich nicht die Antwort auf die Equation, da. So, ja, ein bisschen stuck. Und es ist nicht wirklich gut für sie. So, 4 Points für die Day für Legends. Und sie sind jetzt in 20th. So, ja, vielleicht ist das Funny World, wo...
02:21:08 Makers takes the win and Legends takes a 19 or 20 is potentially a reality. The only issue, of course, with that is Makers is also not having a great day. They're actually in 15s right now, so it's a bit of a rough run actually for our top two teams of the regular split. Yeah, and I feel like this generally happens. This happens in split while, you know, some of our top hitting teams sort of...
02:21:27 Schaken in their boots a little bit or getting a little bit complacent and just, you know, going, ah, we might have this paged the way for, you know, the likes of Killdevil to sort of reach their way to the top. But, you know, one thing is six kills for them and a win moves them up about six places, I think. So they're going, you know, a little bit closer to the top there. Of course, we still probably don't have anyone on, you know, match point just yet. It's only been three games, but Bearclaw are coming to play as well with second place and nine kills. That's huge from them. But I'm going to go.
02:21:56 over Dreamfire. They just had such an epic game there. I was literally just shaking in my seat. It was so exciting to see them sort of move up. It would have been about seven places, so 18 points for them. But Vegas Inferno still take over the lead of Heroes with 33 points. Elfish, of course, we're not there yet at the 50, but they are very much on their way. Yeah, really getting quite a number of teams close to...
02:22:22 Das Matchpoint-Eligibility... Es ist jetzt nur ein Spiel für die Top 5 oder 6 Teams. Okay, jetzt sage ich 6, weil es MDY ist 24. Du könntest für 26 in einem Spiel gehen können. Und das wäre ein guter Spiel. Ja, es ist definitiv ein guter Spiel, aber es ist nicht so eine große, große Spiel. Es ist definitiv mehr und mehr möglich. Doch ich würde sagen, dass es noch ein bisschen von einem Ausfall-Chance ist, dass wir es in 4 gemacht haben, für den Matchpoint.
02:22:49 Ich glaube, wir sind noch mehr so auf 5, mit vielleicht der 6e Spiel, die erste Spiel werden, die jemanden kann, wenn man sich das anschauen kann. Es ist ein ganz einfaches Lobby, wenn das Sinn macht. Es ist ein sehr spreader. Es hat nicht nur ein Team oder zwei Teams, dass sie sich nicht verletzten. Es hat sich ein bisschen verletzten, so man kann es sehen, dass das auf den Scoreboarden auf die Sicht ist.
02:23:12 Es ist nicht nur ein Team auf 45 Punkte und alle anderen sind auf 25. Wir haben sogar noch einen Ebenen Spreit, 33, bis zu 24 für die ersten sechs Teams. Es ist nur eine 9 Punkte Gap zwischen sechs Teams. Es ist ein Ebenen Spreit across ein paar Teams. Ja.
02:23:29 I'm still a little bit shocked. Legends Gaming on the bottom. Usually they're at the tippity top. But you know, like we've said, they've got themselves a ticket through to land anyway. So I feel like they're trying something maybe a little bit new going into this. It's not really working out for them. So maybe revert back to the original Legends Gaming Triumphs. But you know what? Seeing, I guess, even Weibo, you know, Elfish, we were talking about them.
02:23:52 They've got about 12 points, so I don't know how you're sort of feeling about that, Elfish. But, you know, still time will tell. We're going to take ourselves a short little break, though. We're going to head over and show you a little bit of a scouting report. So check it out, and we'll be back soon.
02:24:08 Ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke,
02:24:38 Und dann ist es, wie gesagt, wenn wir mit uns gehen, dann glaube ich, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir drei Leute, wie gesagt, dass wir das
02:25:07 Ich glaube, ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte. Ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte. Ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte. Ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte. Ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte. Ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte. Ich glaube, es ist ein paar Worte.
02:25:36 Ich denke, die zwei Meta sind immer wieder in dieser Reihe. Ich denke, ich denke, ich würde mich für die Leute essen essen essen.
02:27:56 The passion is real here in Apex South as we are in the regional finals. That was only game number three. Are we going to get six games, Elfish? Maybe seven? Potentially 12? Who knows? I guess nobody has reached the 50-point threshold, but we do have Vegas Inferno itching a little bit closer there at 33 points with Heroes just behind at about 30, Elfish. So, you know, are we going to see maybe a...
02:28:24 Ich denke, sie würden nur 17 Punkte geben. Das ist ein bisschen ein KP zu bekommen. Oder wir vielleicht sogar sehen, Legends Gaming bringen sie zurück. Man, Sie sind wirklich auf dem Legends Gaming Hype Train, nicht wahr? Ich bin so interessiert über sie zu bekommen. Sie sind Legends Gaming. Sie sind aber auch nur 4 Punkte heute.
02:28:48 Something's not really coming together, that's for sure. Either way, yeah, look, I mean, this game could be the one that puts us over the line. It would really have to be more than likely Vegas, Inferno, or Heroes probably to do that. Kill Devil down to MDY, a little bit more of an outside shot, but still perhaps in the discussion if they have a big game. And further on from there, I don't know. I don't think that, you know, SWQ's really going to have enough to be able to get 31 points. That's, yeah, you really...
02:29:14 Ah, ich weiß nicht, vielleicht Dreamfire könnte es. Ich gebe Dreamfire ein 1%-er. Aber ja, look, was... Ich weiß nicht, ob wir jetzt 6-Games werden? Ich denke, an dieser Stelle ist es ziemlich sicher zu sagen, wir werden... Ich weiß nicht, wir werden immer 6-Games werden, aber die Kontext ist, ob wir werden 6-Games werden, wo es eigentlich matters ist. Also, ja, ich denke, wir werden wahrscheinlich zu dem Punkt, wo...
02:29:32 On that 6th game, we haven't actually found a winner yet. Up to 12, maybe that's a bit more of a stretch of the imagination. But the way things are going today, this feels kind of slow in the sense that we've spread the points quite across the board. So it's not as if there's one team where you're like, oh yeah, they're definitely going to be match point eligible next game. They're going to have a couple of cracks at it before anyone else gets to match point. It really does feel like we're probably going to get to game 6 and then there's going to be like...
02:29:56 Three or four teams every game from there on that actually get onto Matchpoint rather than like one by one by one by one, which you do sometimes tend to see in these Matchpoint lobbies. So overall, yeah, still early days, it kind of feels like. It feels like we're probably in for the long haul tonight, I would say.
02:30:10 Yeah, well, if you go off anything, it was a split one. You know, we had, I think it was about seven or eight teams match point eligible. And then I believe it was Serenity that came in to add more to that. So it carried on to another game. And I think we had about 10 or 11 games. So you're very, yeah, you're very true. You know, it could be anyone's way. But as we take a look at some stats here, bringing back the Pathfinder is Lahim and doing a good job of it as well. But that's not what...
02:30:40 Look, honestly, I don't think that Newcastle is a bad choice when it comes to these match point formats, right? Because in a lot of cases, you know, you may, if you are Las Vegas Inferno here, get 250 points and you're on that match point eligibility. You know, you...
02:31:05 You can sometimes just get into a position which is just unplayable, right? And there's nothing you can do about it, and Newcastle can really help you with that. And if that's the difference between you just getting knocked out and being like, okay, well, we got kind of cooked by the circle luck there, and having a bit of portable cover and maybe having a bit more playable terrain as a result of that, and giving yourself a bit more of an opportunity to win that game, then yeah, that's an option. But on the other side of that coin, you kind of have to recognize that if we're the only team picking Newcastle, and we're also the first team that's going to make it to
02:31:34 Matchpoint Eligibility. Anytime anyone sees a Newcastle, they are going to kill us. Like, that is going to be their objective. There's no, oh, we should maybe think about maybe not fighting this team, this or that. It's like, well, we have to kill them. Otherwise, game's over. Like, day's over. So that's potentially something that might come into play when they do hit Matchpoint Eligibility, but that'll be maybe not a conversation for another couple hours or so.
02:31:55 Yeah, no, I feel like that's very true. You know, I guess we sort of forget about Newcastle being, having that res and sort of being able to move. You put a gold shield on that. It is quite hard to sort of get through the barrier. And what teams generally have to do is full send that team to eliminate it. So yes, you know, Newcastle's kind of out of play and not having a gun to prove it, but being able to back it up with a gold shield is just incredibly hard to take down. So, you know, they're...
02:32:19 17 points required of Las Vegas Inferno and 20 points for Heroes. Gets a little bit more from there. Grape Soda into Tree. Going to have a little bit of a fight. We talked about their early game contest and here's another one.
02:32:47 Der Grape Soda Special. Wir haben sie das schon gesehen haben. Sie nehmen die South Siphon Spawn, nicht die Norden. Und das ist natürlich, dass sie, wenn sie wollen, dann können sie direkt auf die Gebäude des Gebäudes an den Bottom des Trollen und pushen es direkt an jemanden da. In diesem Fall, unfortunately für sie, das ist ein Remarkable. Ja. Und er ist just Riss mit einem Great Shot. Excellent Shot aus der Sentinel. Er hat ihn gebrochen, Lowkey.
02:33:15 So there is going to be at least a little bit of revenge. But starting to cop some damage now. And at this point actually, these two remaining members of Grape Soda do actually have to finish this off so that they can get the revive now. So they're going to try and chase him down. They will find him inside of that smoke. And well, it was a valiant attempt from Risk. It was a good shot. But it was not enough. And so Grape Soda do achieve what they set out to do. And they've got plenty of time to find that revive as well. So no dramas at all.
02:33:43 really, so far as Loki is going down. And that, my friends, is why you pick up the Sentinel in the early game. One shot of the dome is all you need. Now, Eber's Predator, they're just across in launch site here. They just hit the Survey Beacon, by the way. So they know the Great Soda have only just rocked back up into this. They would have scanned the two of them.
02:34:10 Und sie haben auch die Evo Harvester hier gezwungen, also sehen wir, ob sie wollen, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um
02:34:33 Long distances, taking that third ring scan, then making their way into the zone. Yeah, it's a good point you make because we do often see Legends being one of the teams that likes to rotate in a little bit later, slower than most other teams. They have that edge-heavy playstyle. So you would look at this and say, okay, well, maybe this is part of the reason why they've gone for Skyhook West because we do get a lot of, honestly, a lot of pulls going to this position. I think on...
02:35:01 World's Edge, you know, for me, like, I don't know, I have no stats to back this up, no data, but like, eye-test-wise, this is a zone that we see, I feel like, at least once a day, often multiple times a day. So, you do get that pull a lot, so maybe there's an argument to me that, yeah, we would like to get that pull, but I don't think that I necessarily disagree that this plays against, kind of, the playstyle that they choose to run. That would be why I'm really wishing that the Crypto wasn't the one dead right now, so that you could just get the Instarez with the drone.
02:35:30 But, nonetheless, barbhing their own teammate for Evo. Oh my lordy! Some more lovely AVOX shots coming out of XX there. I don't quite knock someone off that balloon, but they almost... Get that? Fairfrog, set up shop inside of Skyhook. Oh, ISWQ gonna go down very quickly indeed. They just disappeared.
02:36:00 Okay. A few more points for Bearclaw, who, to be fair, one of those teams that if they were to have a really big game here could actually get to 50. They started it well, with three points on the board to start it off, and moved themselves up into third place overall. Either way, at this point in the day, any extra point is going to be appreciated, because how many times have we seen a team get to 49 and then win a game? I can think of at least two instances. There was one last season, and then there was the infamous Team Burger.
02:36:28 Was it they won twice in a row and then they couldn't win they won twice in a row to get to match point and then they couldn't win for the rest of the day That was a couple of years ago at this point in time But yeah every point matters right because you just don't want to be that team that stuck on 49 basically just kind of gate kept for an entire game Where it's like well, whatever points we get here beyond the first point literally are irrelevant
02:36:52 Not literally, because you can still get a bit of placement overall, but, you know, in the sense that you're wanting to chase first. Yeah, no, that does suck. We'll definitely be keeping our eye, as usual, on all the times we're keeping up approaching that 50 point. And we'll see who makes it there first. Las Vegas Inferno. Saying their name a lot today, and probably not a team that a lot of people would have guessed might make it to match point first.
02:37:21 they'd certainly be a surprise inclusion if they got over the top. I mean, they're not far off the pace in terms of just being in the top seven, right? Like, even a first or a second, if they could secure that today, are potentially enough to put them above, say, you know, Dreamfire or Guild Esports, who are on the lower end of the top seven currently. And Guild, not having a great day so far. They're down in 13th spot overall so far.
02:37:48 Ich glaube nicht, dass sie nicht so viele Punkte haben. In Las Vegas Inferno waren wir 9th in den overallen Standings kommen heute für den Split. So, ich glaube, es ist ein Team, dass sie nicht so viel aussehen können. Sie haben eigentlich eine gewisse Zeit. Und was, was ich vorhin schon erwähnt, wenn wir auf Stormpointen waren, war es nicht ein Team, dass man sich nicht so viel aussehen kann, so ich glaube, dass sie nicht so viel aussehen.
02:38:13 Ich glaube, dass die Reputation der Weibo oder Dreamfire haben auch gemacht. Sie sehen sie und sagen, sie sind ein großes Threat. Sie sind. Aber dann ist sie. Vielleicht ist Vegas Inferno. Aber in eine andere Weise. Speaking of Dreamfire, Dream is able to get that knock-on to Yukoi. Schikai ist, dass die Reputation in Sky suffered. Aber es sieht aus wie es wird confirmed sein. Also, wir sehen uns das Rez und nicht harm.
02:38:40 So hard to push between buildings in Skyhook, right? So as long as you get inside, you can see Killer Paws playing it safe and popping the bat before he does go for the res, but unless they found an angle through those windows seems pretty unlikely. As you can see, most teams are very happily just chilling by the fire on the couch in their building, in their apartment in Skyhook. You've got a couple around the edges, Makers.
02:39:07 Sie sehen 17th overall heute. Sie sind eigentlich mein pick. Sie haben nicht auf die Hype bisher. Krypto ist eine weirr choice, um, als wir gesehen haben, es ist viel zu tun. Aber als wir sehen haben, es ist viel zu experimentieren. Und jetzt ist es ein schönes Position zu spielen, für genau diesen Grund. Sehr easy zu bekommen, die nur einiges zu tun haben.
02:39:34 Wenn du auf der Skyhawk sitzt, ist, um, sicher, dass du genug genug hast, später in der Spiel. Tends zu sein, dass es ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein, wie ein.
02:40:04 Look, he's a player who's played a lot of Hitscan FPS over the years. Yeah, not gonna lie, I kinda miss it. Yep. Maybe Gugu missing it at this point as well. But...
02:40:21 No harm done really for Weibo, who are happy with the position that they found themselves in for this zone. But the day in general, maybe not quite so much. We're going to need one of those famous Weibo games to get them back in the conversation, which they are well and truly out of right now. And they say they're not really in the position to make it into the top seven just naturally either, unless they substantially approve upon their lot in the next couple of games here. So it could be Weibo, like, you know,
02:40:50 A massive fall from Grace, from Split 1 to Split 2. You know who else is not in the conversation?
02:40:57 Probably a lot of teams. I was gonna say Alter, the legend. And I was just wondering, we've seen such a crazy, you know, array of team comps and everything right now. If they hadn't have made that change, considering all the cryptos we've seen come back into the lobby, if they hadn't have made that change, it means you get hit by your own EMPs while you're in the void, while you're taking her void passage. Would we have actually seen some crypto Alter teams come out here in the finals? That's kind of fun to think about.
02:41:26 Wer weiß, wir werden nicht die Antwort auf den Antworten. Die Makers werden dann vielleicht mit ihren Makers sein. Ich weiß nicht, wir sind jetzt nicht zusammen mit der Top 2 in die Lobby für die Top 2 in die Lobby. Das sind die Lens und Makers. Und eine wirklich schwierige Herausforderung hier ist, Zeke wird sich hier beitragen. Und wir sind als ein Duo. Die Guilden sind auf den Outskirts des Gebäudes. Wir sind zu causeigen Probleme. Die Guilden haben auch ihre Probleme gehabt.
02:41:53 Ich meine, es war ja, es war ein sehr langer Rotate von Makers, als wir gesehen haben, und es ist ein weirder Zeit zu tun. Ich meine, sie haben es an einem Zeitpunkt, wo alle anderen nicht mehr haben. Nicht nur ein Team in Skyhook haben, so alle von ihnen haben nur ihre Crosshairs auf jemanden fliegen, denn sie haben nichts mehr zu tun. Sie sind in ihren Bildern. So, Makers haben sich selbst ein Target mit dem Timing der Rotation gemacht.
02:42:23 Guess you read what you saw. The next Ring Pool will be available in a moment.
02:42:32 Ich glaube, es wird ein Skyhook-Circle sein.
02:42:58 This next rotation could cause some issues, but there's definitely still going to be room around, right? There's like a lot of debris and lots of walls and stuff. And even if you're not inside of a building, there's a lot of little nooks and crannies that are going to be playable for teams that do have to push their way in. But it does get quite chaotic a little bit later on with zones like this when inevitably, obviously, teams do have to start running into each other, but...
02:43:20 Ich bin nicht sicher, dass das zu viel passiert ist für die nächsten paar Minuten. Aber hier, X und Y sind in den Engagement gegen Evo's Predator. Es ist der Early 1-for-1-Train, aber Fatten 5th ist sehr low. Gopgapz wird auf den Boden genommen. Und so hat es zu kommen, zu dem 1-man-Clutch. Trying to get through it. Shield causing a couple of issues, aber Evo Predator geteilt. Und das ist bei der Hand von X und Y, die aus den Countdown-Side der Zone zu clear. Und dann werden sie gut genug zu bekommen.
02:43:49 Sorted out quite early on in the piece, so good little reset here available for X and Y and some quality points on the board up to 28 now.
02:43:59 Und als ist so oft in den 1-1-1's, es geht einfach nur um, wer hat die Knockdown Shield dabei? Wer kann sich da und spielen von der Position? Wer kann die andere Spieler aus? Weil, wenn du einfach rauskriegst, wenn du einfach rauskriegst, wenn du entscheiden kannst. Es ist einfach nur die Unterschiede zwischen den zwei Spieler in so viele Clutch-Situationen. Ja, du kannst vielleicht auch ein Reload-Off, wo du sonst nicht würdest. Das Kinds of Dinge.
02:44:28 Bocek in Hand. Love it. Und, uh, not a bad spot to have one either. X and Y. They will just have enough room to play here for the next zone as well, by the way. So they've got still a minute and a half of respite. But inevitably they're going to have to move and that'll be where the issues do probably start to arise.
02:44:56 Actually, on their way down, at the moment, heroes can't quite see them. There is a building in the way. That building that they're looking at, by the way, that heroes are looking at right here, is occupied by a couple of teams. Weibo Gaming being one of them, and Final Dreaming the other.
02:45:15 Und das ist auch nicht in der Neck-Ring, so... Wie wir gesagt haben, Gino zu erzählen, ist es ein bisschen schneller, Early-Game. Aber diese Mid- und Late-Game werden wir Chaos haben. X und Y sind in das Gebäude jetzt auch.
Spannungsgeladene Konfrontationen und Matchpoint-Jagd in ALGS APAC-S Regional Finals
02:45:31
02:45:31 In terms of who's actually in circle 5, circle 6, Guildenmakers. That's the market and the buildings to the north of the market. Currently in the best spot. But yeah, with the 4 or 5 teams now stacking up on top of each other here. This one is about to get messy. Really just waiting that 20 seconds for the zone to start to push.
02:46:01 Das ist genau das wir sprechen. Look at it. GK, Dreamfire, Grape Soda, Bearclaw. Sie werden alle müssen, und dann gibt es das MASSIVE Congregation von Weibo, Final, Dream, X, und Y, das wird ein bisschen messer. Weibo ist auch ein bisschen zu machen. Weibo ist auch ein bisschen zu machen. Wir müssen die Wraith versuchen aus, um zu versuchen, ein Portal zu versuchen. Heroes hier sind. Oh, wir werden ein paar Probleme machen. Oh, wie ist er noch? Oh, wie ist er noch? Hang auf ein paar Sekunden. Heroes, sie müssen sich aufhören. Aufhören, aufhören.
02:46:27 Coming through from that portal as well, Kisanz is going to get the knock onto Gugu. So Heroes are remaining solid for the moment.
02:46:36 Nobody else actually has taken the portal X and Y are gonna take the a little bit more Standard route just using their two feet And they get across actually much healthier Into the floor so this could be problems for heroes Weibo do get eliminated in the meanwhile there so their fortunes are not going to turn around too much in game four But X and Y they keep pushing the issue They're gonna secure some more points as well, which is
02:47:02 Fantastisch, denn sie sind jetzt gleich und gleich zu Match Point Eligibility. LBi hat den Rest der Lobby nicht zu sehen. Sie sehen, die Team starten zu sehen. Wir sind jetzt auf die Rache hier.
02:47:21 A couple left in the middle towards the skyhook. But these buildings over towards the west seem to be seen to the crime here as X and Y managed to pick up a couple of these kills. And look, honestly, the Bloodhound scans here coming in very handy to allow you to know. Sound cues can be tough to read sometimes. So getting that exact information, whether they're above you, below you, can be extremely helpful. Legends, finally!
02:47:50 Ja, die Triple Reds sind sicherlich für X&Y. Sie haben eigentlich geschafft, dass das Knochen auf die Knochen zu spielen. Die Knochen und die Knochen sind wirklich gut genug zu nehmen. Ja, die Knochen und die Knochen sind sicherlich für X&Y. Sie haben eigentlich geschafft, dass das Knochen auf die Knochen zu spielen. X&Y sind wirklich unter dem Pump, an dem Moment. Und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und... ...und...
02:48:19 Another team denied the chance to get to match point off of this game. Which was a bit of a stretch, it had to be said for sure. But it was definitely doable. Now the last one maybe that's in that conversation is Bearclaw Gaming. 18 points still required from them. It's a bit of a stretch.
02:48:41 Okay, wow, so Makers doing a good job there, picking off a couple of stragglers who were heading up from the southern buildings towards the market area. But now on round close, we're going to be seeing four teams trying to make their way. They made little mazes for themselves out of the Watson fences to try and get through here. Who's going to come out alive?
02:49:03 Oh, VKG are looking pretty good to do it at the moment. I'm not so sure about Bearclaw Gaming, who did lose FenFu a little bit earlier on in the piece there. MDY pushing it onto... Oh, never mind. VKGaming get eliminated, by the way. MDY pushing in onto Warm Monster Firebird, and they've dealt with that one pretty accordingly, which I wonder, has that given the time for MDY to get the res? No is the answer, and my goodness. Bearclaw Gaming, LGD both out as well.
02:49:27 In the blink of an eye, we're down to 3 teams remaining. MDY with 14 points required. Do they have enough points left on offer to make it to 50? I'm not sure that they do. Even if they do win this, it would be another 6 points worth of kills.
02:49:45 Anyway, let's not do math on stream. The guild eSports in the meantime, much better game from them. They've currently got six, oh sorry, I think it was five kills. So a really solid effort from those guys to start off with here. I wanted to start off with halfway through our series or however long we are through it. They're coming back here, but makers have done even better.
02:50:10 They've managed to clean up so many on the southern side, but I thought they'd have more space to themselves. The way this fight is shaken out in the end does kind of mean that I think they'll probably have cover for the longest time out of all three teams, but the fact that NDY now are back up to full members, being able to get that res off, extremely important in this final battle.
02:50:41 Patience is a virtue at the moment. I don't want to be that first team to have to move. I'd say you're probably right about the makers. They have a little bit more room to work with than the uh, MDY or guild position. Focus of attention is very important there. That's the lame time that MDY can use their ultimates, which they do have banked up.
02:51:09 xx getting knocked and finished by the r stars now as well that is definitely bad news and mty yeah they very quickly follow suit bit of a nothing fight really in the end there for mty didn't really feel like they could do anything about that i mean yeah i give that all to mt honestly with the amazing timing on the seer tactical just reducing their options what is this a horror game just a guy appears out of the smoke and all of a sudden you're in a fight mt gets that initial knock makers down to just a couple what has been
02:51:36 A fantastic game. Might not quite eventuate unless they can get those trades back on in. Legacy will drop. Jesko will drop as well. Empty is essentially going to have to do it solo. Now this would be all three kills going the way of Empty. Ziki is given time to pop the bat. So too is Empty. And he's looking for him. Trying to find a scan. But doesn't really have much agency in this position. Has to climb over the wall which makes it difficult to take that fight. So another time to try and pop a bat.
02:52:05 ...which will be secured by Empty, but his time is running out. He has to go over the top and commit. It's a rough fight, but he will not quite be able to win it anyway. So Makers will secure the victory after what was quite a solid game. Yeah, that was a really tough one. I mean, Empty's final position there to play that was, uh, was hard, but look, they made, uh, you know, they made the most of it. Quite a few points there go towards Guild, uh, but Makers also creeping up.
Strategische Zonenpositionierung und Team-Kohäsion entscheiden über Sieg und Matchpoint-Anwärterschaft
02:52:32
02:52:32 Yeah, well, finally, Guild and Makers, they're sort of joining the party, which is awesome to see. You know, Makers are the second, aren't they, or even the overall leaderboard. So, you know, a great game from them, but nothing like a skyhook.
02:52:45 Ich liebe diese Zone, ich liebe diese Zone. Ich liebe diese Zone, alle haben sich in eine Gebäude und wir haben einfach zu sehen, die Aktionen zu sehen. Die Teams sind so glücklich. Ich weiß, wir sind ein bisschen bored mit dieser Zone, aber ich finde es, dass es immer so spannend ist, wo jeder Team hat eine Position zu finden. Und wie wir sahen, ich glaube, es war Makers, richtig? Sie fliehen über alle und haben sich in eine Position, wenn ich nicht in der Genome habe. Und sie sehen, dass sie die Win-Win haben.
02:53:14 No, das ist ein fairer Punkt, richtig? Sie haben eigentlich einen Member gewonnen, um, bei der Position zu haben. Wir waren über die Zeit, wie sie in der Zeit kamen. Aber in der Ende, das mehr als auf, weil das Position war so gut. Both in terms of die Kills, die in der Mid-Game zu bekommen, aber auch, um, die safest walk in der End-Game zu haben, was, ja, was, you know, thanks zu MT.
02:53:41 Dealing with the third last team there means they just walk out with the win, so honestly big ups there for Makers.
02:53:49 Yeah, well, this team, you know, they've got such cohesion, this team. Like, I don't even know how long Zicky Aziz and Dexter have been playing together. I don't know if you've got the stats there, Genome, but, you know, they can definitely communicate their way through. But, you know, just having to hold this position by the wonderful Zicky here and, you know, a tough climb there, like you said, you know, for Guild. But nonetheless, that is still amazing for Guild to get that second place with seven.
02:54:12 Das bringt sie ihn in eine ganz einfache Position von den früheren Matches. Aber MAKERS mit ein huge 9 Kills und ein Win, das ist also going to bring sie in den Kontenten, um zu versuchen, dass die Matchpoint-Eligibilität ist. Ich glaube, ich glaube, wir haben noch jemanden da, aber MDY ist einfach noch ein guter Spiel. Sie haben den Win, und ich glaube, es war unser 1st Match, und der 3rd Platz ist großartig von ihnen, Gino.
02:54:41 It is big. And, you know, that's why they're on top. They're sitting on top of the mountain right now. But it's a small mountain. It's only a 36-point mountain. You know, as you said, still a little ways away from summiting the match point eligibility. And, you know, considering we were, I think it was 33 points was the target at the start of this game from Las Vegas Inferno. We've only added four points to that total. So it's actually extremely close up the top here.
02:55:11 Very exciting Regional Finals.
02:55:13 Yeah, maybe I cursed them. I did say they could potentially get, you know, a win and some points and then get match point eligibility. Sorry, Vegas Inferno. My bad, my bad. But you've still got a couple of games to go. But, you know, he's still holding, you know, a nice position there. But I love this, Elfish. I absolutely love it when teams are very close together because then it can be anybody's game when they finally reach those points. It's quite evenly spread, as we've seen here. But, you know, Guild Esports, they moved up six spots, makers nine spots. So, you know.
02:55:42 Diese wirklich heavy-hittingen Teams kommen zu play. Ja, ich bin eigentlich einfach ein bisschen ein Blick auf, wie das sieht, in comparison zu den letzten Splitt Finals. In diesem Moment in den Tag, vier Games done, wir hatten Teams, die Highest ein paar Teams waren, 41 Punkte. So wir sind eigentlich ein bisschen behind das, als das 8-Ball ist. Aber das nächste Spiel ist, wo eine Team tatsächlich hat die...
02:56:05 Matchpoint Eligibility. So, Game 5, I think it'll probably happen here, right? 14 points for a couple of teams. That's not too far away. Someone's going to do it here, and then going into Game 6, we start to get going, I think. Yeah, well, that's fine. We still got some more Apex action for you, but not without a short break. So we will see you right after it.
Taktische Vielfalt und enge Konkurrenz prägen die APAC-S Regional Finals
02:58:17
02:58:17 Welcome back, everyone. If you're just joining us here, it is the Regional Finals in Apex South. We're sending through seven teams. And that's to the split two playoffs. I guess we've yet to have a team reach the match point eligibility, but we just finished our game number four with Makers taking out the victory, which gives them about 30 points.
02:58:39 So we're still going to have to have a couple of games, Genome, just to find out if any team will get there. But we've got Heroes at 36. We've got MDY at 36. But yeah, everything is super close. Yeah, I mean, you know how many teams get 14 points in a game? Like one, maybe two per game. So yeah, chances are we might not even have someone on Match Point by the next one.
02:59:02 That's exactly right. We might head into game number five and not have that, but let's take a look at some damage reports here and see exactly how our teams are performing. Not only are they doing extremely well and it's quite evenly matched, we love to see what each individual player is sort of dishing out here, Elfish. You know, look at this. A Vantage. That first time you've seen that? Yeah. I mean, I guess that's one good argument to pick Vantage. These are not typically the players that you would say, oh yeah, these are the guys that I would expect to see on this...
02:59:31 Das sind nicht die großen Namen, die wir sehen. Also müssen wir alle drei von ihnen geben. Und dann sind wir, wie gut ihre Teams sind. Es ist sehr refreshing, zu sehen, dass wir ein bisschen anders zu sprechen. Und ich weiß, ob das tatsächlich wird jetzt in eine Potenzial-Win für diese drei Teams sein. X&Y und VKG
02:59:54 Probably don't need to finish the day with the win. And to be honest, Las Vegas Inferno, the way things are going right now, it looks like they might actually make it based on overall placement, regardless of whether they win the day or not. But hey, getting the dub is going to be a nice way to seal the deal. And not just three players that we don't usually see up there, but three legends that we're, you know, not necessarily used to seeing up there. And three different legends at that. So it's really cool to see, you know, the anchors, the advantages managing to, you know...
03:00:23 mit dem Sniper's Mark, der, als auch mit der Fuse, der wir wissen können, mit seinen Abilität zu pumpen. Und der Watson, auch. Also, es ist nicht nur Bangalore, Bangalore, Bangalore, jemand der Frontlinie, jemand der, you know... Easy Flash, Bangalore. Genau, genau. Finally, finally, Sobriety.
03:00:42 Ja, es ist großartig zu haben Variety, wie wir schon erwähnt haben. Die Teams sind sehr nahe zusammen hier für die Region Finals. So, ihr wisst, alle sind in die Arbeit. Und es ist schön und, wie du gesagt hast, refreshing zu sehen, Characters, die wir nicht generell sehen. Und diese high-hitting, damage-stuff, zu also put in die Effort. Aber ja, ich weiß nicht, Gino...
03:01:03 Do you think any of our teams could hit match point eligibility? You know, you're sort of talking about Makers being maybe the first one. I know my pick is just not even close. Elfish saying Weibo, not close. How are you feeling going into, I guess, match number five with Makers? I think that's what you selected. Yeah, that was my guess.
03:01:27 As I said, we definitely can see someone on Matchpoint after this. It's just that we've had such an even mesh across the board that we won't necessarily get there. There's still a good four or five teams there who, if they win this game, maybe come second. They will make it, but they have to start performing now.
03:01:51 Ja, well, there we go with our Legend picks. Coming to you live for the first time as well. So, you know, while we finally got the 20 Bangalore picks again, Elfish, you called it last time with the 19, now we've got all teams sort of selecting on them. You know, I guess we're seeing maybe teams revert to a little bit of the original meta that we saw at the start of the split. Yeah, it does seem to be just a World's Edge thing for SWQ, where they want to take the Wraith.
03:02:18 Well, it's not even just the Wraith, actually. They change up the whole composition, basically. Yeah, I mean, they keep the Watson, but they don't have the Bang and the Blood. They have the Crypto and the Watson instead. So that's for World's Edge. But yeah, obviously, we're going back to Storm Point now, so they bring the Bang and the Blood back. Yeah, and speaking of Storm Point, we are ready for our next match. So will it be Heroes, MD, why Vegas Inferno reaching match point eligibility? Let's find out now. This is Match Number 5.
03:02:44 All right, well, it is starting to get pretty tight towards the top end there now. Heroes, MDY, 36 points. Down to fifth there is X and Y on 34. Makers at 30. So quite a few teams now at this point, Genome, that can really start to hone in on the magic number 50. Imagine, I would cross my fingers, that we're going to have at least one or two teams going into the next game.
03:03:08 Ich glaube, es gibt zwei Situationen. Eine ist, dass sie...
03:03:34 Und die andere ist, dass sie wirklich struggle. People pick on them. People do recognise where they are. Es ist nicht schwer zu tracken, vielleicht zwei Teams auf Matchpoint. Und sie, you know, they do struggle to get over the line. So, if we have a lot of Teams entering Matchpoint at the same time, yeah, maybe we don't get either of those situations. Maybe it's just a sort of a free-for-all right from the start.
03:04:05 Maybe. Well, we've seen this kind of zone before. Maybe a little bit of a further stretch out towards the sort of western side. A bit more northern than some that we had towards the latter end of our final week of competition. But similar kind of rotation in there from BK Gaming. Trying to get in pretty early. Imagine Dreamfire will be doing much the same thing. Those were actually the two teams that did make that kind of rotation last week. And we'll be interested to see if they end up in...
03:04:33 Ich glaube, es ist auch noch nicht so gut für die Moments.
03:04:56 Azul's Schu-Tap hat also been confirmed by Turtle. So, we're trying to lock this building down with a caustic interesting composition from Marcus, but if you can take the building, let's just work out, and we're going to get aggressive straight into the corner. I mean, that's a rough room to end up in, because you really have zero agency in that room, and you're just done. Yeah, but GK pulled up on them just as that fight has ended.
03:05:21 So you can see Bearclaw, they're on the other side as well. I don't know, man. Remarkable map might be done for. There are so many grenades on the inside of that building right now. The Remarkable team have been forced outside into the waiting arms of Fentu. Yeah, not fun. Bearclaw Gaming have been pretty good with their third parties today. That was something that they kind of kicked off in game one and they've maintained over the course of the day. Just sort of float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That's the kind of vibe I want to go with.
03:05:50 Sie gehen in, bekommen eine kille, das wird es. Sie sind auf. Sie nehmen die 1 oder 2 Punkte hier und da. Sie sind nicht überkommittet zu den fighten, ich liebe es. Und es ist ziemlich erfolgreich für sie. Wir sind sehr, sehr nahe zu den 50 Punkt Mark. Aber die Wins so far sind ein bisschen missing für Bearclaw, das ist nur einiges zu sagen.
Strategische Entscheidungen, frühe Kämpfe und Matchpoint-Rennen prägen das fünfte Spiel
03:06:13
03:06:13 Ja, das ist es. Sie sind in 1st place mit nur ein paar Punkte zu ihrem Namen. So, zwei sehr importanten Kills in der Race-to-Get-Match-Point. Sie sind also sehr central in der Circle gerade jetzt. Sie sind also controlling die Space-Around-The-Ring-Console. Das heißt, Sie können die Third-Ring-Information nicht mehr machen. Das ist wichtig.
03:06:40 Unlike other teams, such as X and Y, which are currently getting, not quite chased down, but pushed out, it seems, by LGD. Definitely on the move. But, pretty lazy start to the game, really, for most teams.
03:07:07 Das war ein bisschen ein Patienter. Wir haben noch Legends ganz weit über den Norden, um zu checken auf sie und wie sie spielen können. Wir sind auf Zeus Station. Wir haben noch einen der letzten Movers. Evo's Predator auf der anderen Seite der Zone. Sie haben noch den gleichen Vibes. Wir haben diese Teams, die immer wieder in der Zeit zu gehen. Dreamfire ist ein paar EMPs, um sich zu sehen, um ein paar EMPs zu sehen.
03:07:33 Uh, but they are one of the teams that likes to move Central first, and they've ended up in a fairly decent setup for themselves. Same to be said for Las Vegas Inferno, which bodes quite well for Vegas Inferno, making it to 50 points, right? 15 points remaining, and they know that they're going to be in the next couple of zones. Must be feeling pretty good about things at the moment.
03:08:00 A great start to the day from them. Can they capitalize on it? Can they be one of those teams who changes their fate in the hardest lobby of the entire split? I mean, guilds, they are the kind of team that we would expect to be doing better than usual today. But, I mean, seventh, that's actually, you know, under their pace so far if you're looking at the split two standings.
03:08:27 Ja, sie haben das Potenzial zu tun. Ich fühle mich, wie sie heute spielen können, ich könnte es passieren. Es ist nicht eine ausländische Statement zu machen.
03:08:46 Locked themselves inside of the bunker. There's not really too much going on around them. There's no one in Jurassic Park. Only one team still to rotate up from the south. Two, excuse me, actually. It's Evo's Predator and MDY. So Guilden may run into teams backfilling behind them. All right. We've got to pull back, Elfish. Oh, Heroes. Also going to have to pull back away from GK in Cascade Falls. They don't want to take that fight at the moment.
03:09:15 So despite Heroes and GK being around that area, putting a little bit of pressure on that, it actually allowed BCG to grab the ring so I now know that the ring is going south over towards the midmap area. Just follow where Dreamfire go in a zone like this one, but not where Weibo go because today has not been Weibo's day at all. They're eliminated by Grape Soda.
03:09:41 Which I think was the team that they were actually trying to fight. I think Weibo wanted that fight by the looks of what I saw on the minimap. But it has opened up the opportunity for Grape Soda to come in here for a third party. Now Loki's pretty low. I don't want to overcommit to that engagement. Very poor gaming.
03:10:01 Hanging around 37 points. This is not the game that you really want to be throwing away, but an extra three points here could really go the distance in maybe avoiding a 48 or 49 finish. You know, and then having to play out another game.
03:10:16 So, es ist ein guter Shout von dem.
03:10:50 Ja, ein paar Mal so far, haben wir gespielt. Wir haben nicht gemacht, dass wir die Determination haben und sind korrekt. Im Gegensatz Gaming spielen von behind, nicht wirklich ein Spot, das sie wissen wohl. Der einzige Team, die hinter dem ist, ist die Predator. Ist das wie sie ihre Fortunes auf der anderen Seite haben? X und Y auf der anderen Seite.
03:11:18 Kopfgap. Oh, eating a lot of damage. And so is Papapoopin. Actually, too much. X and Y still lurking around at 34 points. But they have certainly not been a team to shy away from early fights. And they're not doing it again. Getting those early knocks. Kopfgaps down and secure. 35 points down for X and Y. Every single one feels like it matters when you're so close.
03:11:42 LGD haben einen schweren Tag. Und es geht weiter. Das Grenade ist auf der Peak. Es wird ein vieles zu tun. Und Final Dream wird in den Moment geholfen. So LGD wird ein paar Punkte aus, aber noch in ein paar Spiele. Aber wir müssen das nächste Rotate in machen. Aber es wird Zeit für die Reset.
03:12:06 Unfortunately for LGD, it's not really, uh, it's not really an exciting place to be, right? 14 points, you've got a long day ahead of you if you want to make anything of this. It looks not an exciting place to be on the scoreboard, but I think it is actually an exciting place to be on, you know, as far as this game goes, on Stormpoint, because you can see Kill Devil are coming down towards them now, but they've got such a sheltered walk into this next zone, um, that as long as they can stave off Kill Devil and win this fight.
03:12:34 They're going to be in an amazing spot. And they take the fight to them as they come out of the zone. Maximizing damage. Increasing the pressure. Bolin goes down straight away. And I think Kill Devil are just about done for me. You can see Levy, the only one still up there. Time is working against him. And it's a clean wipe there from LGD. So...
03:12:59 Ja, das ist so eine gute Walk-In für sie jetzt. Der Rotation ist clean. Managed to graben Plenty of Loot für sie selbst. Ja, um, sie werden die Leute kommen in, auf der backen von Legends Gaming, die haben einen guten Platz für sie selbst, um, zu sitzen da mit Watson. Ja, LGD kommt mit ein bisschen Vengeance, vielleicht, in diesem Spiel. Wie geht es um Heroes? Sie sind in Cascade Falls, sie sind... ...underneath GK, und sie nicht wirklich wollen.
03:13:29 Ah, 37 points at the moment, so they can really get themselves to that 50-point mark if they are able to get deep into this one. BK Gaming maybe just a bit of an outside shot with 22 points on their tally currently, though sitting at the bottom of the ski lift. It's actually not a bad place to be. Zone's going to pull in their direction. Should be able to get a lot of points out of this one.
03:13:52 We can see Fenfu of Bearclaw Gaming trying to hide out on the side of the slope there as well. GK have made their move, which will actually make it easier for heroes to also rotate their way in.
03:14:10 Ich fühle mich wie wir in der Eye of the Storm. Ich weiß, dass ich diese Analyse wahrscheinlich schon mal ein paar Tage habe, aber es ist ein bisschen ein Back-and-Forth, als die Early-Games concerned ist. Und jetzt wird es ein bisschen ein bisschen gedauert. Und jetzt wird das Gefühl, dass wir Zeit für den nächsten Schritt warten können. Und dann ist es wirklich gut auf, und da ist viel Riding in diesem Spiel für viele Teams.
Dramatische Wendungen, strategische Spielzüge und der erste Matchpoint-Kandidat
03:14:35
03:14:35 Yeah, I mean as you can see the closest to match points still 12 points away still quite some distance between them and 50 Grape Soda will be flying in so why don't we listen in with them?
03:14:56 Fuck, now im dead.
03:15:10 Okay, well, that didn't work out very well, unfortunately, for Grape Soda, but, you know, sometimes it'd be like that. And honestly, G&M, they kind of sound a little bit more resigned than mad at this point in time. We've had a couple, I don't know, like, whoever's, whoever's calling the listen-ins this split, um, Elfish, I reckon they've got a Voodoo doll. Yeah. And they just, like, chuck a team's name on it, and as soon as we switch to the team, they just get wiped. It's so rough.
03:15:36 Es ist die Caster Curse, aber wir sind nicht die Leute zu tun. Es ist das, was das wäre. Listen in... Lemon. Listen in Lemon, wie über das? Either way, Las Vegas Inferno. Einfach nur ein Lemon, an der Moment. Still noch gut, mit der nächsten Ring Pool, dass sie einfach nur in der Mitte. Obviamente, die Teams starten zu versuchen, zu crashen sie. Sie werden nicht mehr mehr Möglichkeiten haben. Das ist das, was die Dinge starten für Vegas Inferno starten. Aber 13 Punkte für sie.
03:16:05 Es ist definitiv jetzt doable. Ja, wir haben die Newcastle, welches ist gut in die N-Circle, aber es ist nicht wirklich gut in den Bildern. Und das ist, wie du gesagt, Teams werden, die in den Bildern werden, wo LVI sind. Und sie werden müssen sie durch das Bildern. Ja, die NDY sind in den jetzt.
03:16:29 Ja, das ist okay. LVI waren auf der Staircase und auf der Topfloor, so ich glaube, ich glaube, sie sind nicht zu überraschend über die Team in die Bottomfloor, so ich glaube, ich glaube, sie sind nicht zu überraschend über die Team in die Bottomfloor. Als ich M.D.Y. nicht zu überraschend über die Team in die Bottomfloor verspricht. Das ist woher ich denke, dass sie jetzt co-exist können.
03:16:52 Das ist unser Anti-MDY-R, ich glaube. Sie benutzen ihre EMP, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
03:17:16 ...sort of level that we've seen them perform at instead of 2. See if they can get past BCG and LGD. Oh, GK's not getting anywhere, I'll tell you that at least, for free. There's Vegas Inferno picking up a couple more points, so they creep ever closer. And they are, at the moment, the team that is the closest. 39 for them, 38 for Bearclaw Gaming, but Bearclaw only down to one member. So odds on them maybe not making it to 50 points off of this game, which is painful.
03:17:44 Fenfu ist der letzte Mal für Bearclaw, aber wie er hat er sich zu überleben? Well, er hat ihn versucht zu retten, aber die Teams wirklich haben ihn auf ihn und es ist einfach nicht passiert für Bearclaw. Er ist fertig, Fenfu ist aus dem Bild. WQ sehr kurz danach wird es auch weitergehen. Und VK Gaming wird die Issue an zu Dreamfire, die also fallen. Ring of Fire, um die Rock, es sieht aus wie ein weirdes Ritual ist.
03:18:11 Maybe Legends are conjuring a big dub here. Because they are still floating around. X and Y are on the other side of it.
03:18:20 Trying to play things quite slowly. And LGD up north. I mean, how many teams are pretty much at that match point if they do well in this game? Probably three or four, maybe even five that are remaining. But X and Y might be, unfortunately, another one of those teams that just misses out. Though YC comes in with the clutch. Clean as a whistle inside the smoke. I don't think the revive is going to happen, though. LGD in for that third party. And they are running through this lobby like a freight train at the moment. There goes X and Y. That'll be the third or fourth team that LGD have finished off.
03:18:50 Yeah, I mean, eight kills for them at the moment. LGD, not only do they run away with those last couple of KP as well, but it's God's spot to Legends Gaming while holding it down. But now it's LGDs. So I love three teams all having to get inside here. None of them currently within the ring. It's only LGD that hold that position. So...
03:19:14 Can Las Vegas Inferno convert this? I mean, as you can see, Makers and LVI, both still up. They have a chance to get over that hump. Yep, most definitely. Makers Inferno, they don't even need the first at this point. They really just need maybe another couple kill points, and they'll pretty much just fall over the line at that point. But maybe easier said than done. VK Gaming have got position to play inside of the next ring, behind that wall, I think, so...
03:19:40 Sie haben ein bisschen mehr Zeit, während Vegas und Inferno werden müssen. Und sie werden wirklich zu wissen, dass die Makers auf der Rückseite sind. Das ist ein bisschen zu tun, was die Makers decide zu machen. Wenn sie in LVI gehen, oder wenn sie in VKG gehen, oder wenn sie in VKG gehen können. Ich bin nicht sicher, dass das eine Option wäre. Und das ist, natürlich, wo die Newcastle Wall eigentlich starte zu kommen, ein bisschen mehr so. Jetzt haben sie zu pushen, aus dem VKG zu haben.
03:20:09 Yeah, very. He's almost up to his next ultimate there. Just having to rely on the mobile shield for the moment. Castle Wall is down, but obviously with the changes that they made to it recently, you want a fresh one, right? You want it energized. That means it will stop grenades coming through. Not in the same, but in a similar fashion to what the Pylon does for Watson.
03:20:36 They are the closest to the middle of the circle right now, so they're just worrying about Makers, who are sort of, uh... Oh, maybe it was LGD, actually, who's sitting on their head. No, Makers as well. Yeah, now they're pushing it off the back of this! Oh my god, the tick damage coming through! Yeah, this is not looking very good for LVI. Problem is, they don't really have a lot of room to actually play, but Makers aren't gonna push the issue. I'm surprised by that.
03:20:59 Well, I mean, you say they kind of don't want a lot of room. They're sandwiched between the Castle Ball and the Mobile Shield right now. Um, actually playing so small, it's incredible. True. Okay, well, I haven't considered that one. Keep their heads down for the meanwhile. UK Gaming are pushing their way in onto LGD. If LGD were to fall, that would open up a little bit more room for LVI as well.
03:21:26 Still at the 44 points, Makers still at the 39 points. BK Gaming making a late run in, but I'm not sure that they're gonna be able to get 17 points. That would be a bit of a stretch, maybe if they cleaned up every single kill here.
03:21:41 To be honest, they're actually not in a bad spot to really get quite a lot of damage done here, VK Gaming, but what I'm kind of concerned about for them is that actually the fight will happen without them having any impact on it, right? Because they're on the other side of the zone. Everyone else is on the south side of the zone and maybe all those points just get sponged up by other teams.
03:22:02 Five points away. That is wild. That looks almost like a Gibraltar bubble, but it's not. Makers eliminated. Las Vegas Inferno up to 48. They only need a couple more kill points. Oh, they're going to get there. I think they can do it. Yeah, LGD out. That means surely those placement points are going to be enough. LVI, they're up to 50. They don't even need to win anymore. They don't care, but for VK Gaming, every point matters. They're up to maybe 43, which...
03:22:27 Ich würde sagen, es wird wahrscheinlich ein bisschen schwierig sein, wenn es so close ist, so far. Aber die big news ist, dass wir jetzt ein Team haben, die es zu Matchpoint-Eligibility hat. Und das ist LVI. Ich denke, es wird nur die 1, aber ja, sie haben sich geschafft, dass sie da. Erstmal ist es, es wird Las Vegas Inferno sein. Wir wussten wir es in den Starten, aber sie haben einfach nur die 1.
03:22:53 Vielen Dank.
03:23:22 So close together. Like, there's no huge gap. No one's sort of absolutely dominating. And as we see, you know, Vegas and Burno have had such a good run. But, you know, then the next game comes in and we just need someone else absolutely obliterate. So has there ever been every single team in Matchpoint? No. Will it happen here? I don't know. I'm optimistic.
03:23:43 Das ist eine große Frage. Ich bin es. Die 16 auf APAC North war letztendlich, was sicherlich, wie möglich, als wir in einer ALGS-Lobby sind. Aber du wirst wissen, Leute. Du wirst wissen. Ja, ich bin falsch über Legends Gaming gewinnen in 7. Also, ich bin falsch über das, aber...
03:24:04 You know, it's just so amazing to have these teams sort of, I guess, you know, be so close in contention for this. We can only send through seven. There's not that many spots as last time. So, you know, these teams really understand that and they are turning up the heat because this is where it counts. And VK Gaming, just biding their time for this fight and coming in at the right time to take that win was huge for them with a whopping 15 kills, Genome. I didn't even see that. That's crazy.
03:24:33 Damn, Son, 6k damage. That is, that's a little bit nutsy there from VK. And they were three points shot. That was almost pushing them over the edge. Look, you know, we can get to the scoreboard later, I guess. But, I mean, damn, they went up nine spots off the back of that. They were pushing so hard to be there alongside Las Vegas. And I guess, actually, yeah, because it was three points different. That means if they had a...
03:25:02 Yeah, they just needed one more team wipe, right? They were so, so close. But even LGD picking up 8 and XMY picking up 5, all pushing up towards that sort of area.
03:25:15 Yeah, that's crazy. You know, if they just sort of maybe got in there a little bit earlier, they could have got that extra three off, you know, the team. So that's crazy to think that they really did jump up that far. Nine points, you know, they went up by. So they're at 47. What a climb for them. And then there we go. The little box around the 50 for Vegas Inferno. Our first team to reach match point eligibility. And if everyone at home has no idea what that is, you're going to hit the 50 points.
03:25:44 And if Vegas Inferno win the next game, it is done. It is over. It's done and dusted because that would be our sixth game. So we have to play the six out genome. So we've gotten to the six. It's been crazy that we haven't, you know, seen some of our heavy hitting teams reach it already, but it could be over or by the looks of things, I don't think it will be. All teams are just, you know, really hungry for this.
03:26:10 Yeah, I mean, yeah, any win from now on from Las Vegas Inferno is a dub on the day from them. And yeah, no, what's the word, rubber? No, it's escaping me. But essentially no games that don't mean anything, right? We will get the full minute. Yes.
03:26:30 Dead Rubber, that's the one. Thank you, Elfish. No Dead Rubbers. Every single game will mean something. We'll get the full six, probably even more now. But as we said, only one team on Matchpoint means that they've got a big target on their back. That's incredibly correct. They have been doing it seamlessly throughout this, but teams will be wanting to knock them out. So we're going to take ourselves another short little break, and we'll see you right after it. Will Vegas Inferno take out the win? Who knows? But we'll catch you in a moment.
Matchpoint-Druck, strategische Vielfalt und die Jagd nach dem entscheidenden Sieg
03:30:46
03:30:46 Welcome back, everyone. Game number...
03:30:55 Teams are really turning up the heat because they know this is where it counts. It's the regional finals, Genome. I'm going to keep saying it. We just had our first team finally reach match point eligibility and that's none other than Vegas Inferno. And to top it all off, they're doing it with a Newcastle. I feel like it's really refreshing to see, you know, not such a crutch meta anymore and a bit of flavour to our compositions. Yeah.
03:31:22 Exactly. I don't think you can call Newcastle a crutch in any way, honestly. It's a pick that really makes your team think about the kind of positions they play. And look, it hasn't got them a first just yet, Lace. And that's important now because they're on match point. But in my mind...
03:31:43 All these teams have a little button that they get to press, they get to use it once, that's like, let's win a game on Matchpoint Finals Day. So if they haven't done it yet and they've got to 50 points, I think they've timed it well. Yeah, because I heard Elfish say before there's been so many teams that are on 49 points and win with the 49, but then it is incredibly hard to get a win. It's easier said than done, get 50 points.
03:32:07 Ich glaube, wir wollen die Matchpoint-Eligibility sein. Sie wollen diese Teams zu beenden. Aber wie du gesagt hast, Vegas haben noch einen gewinnen. Aber sie sind auf 50 Punkte. Das könnte es sein. Dann können wir gehen. Wir lieben sehen die Apex-Apex-Aktion. Wir wollen andere Teams gehen in da. Aber wir haben VK Gaming. Sie sind drei Punkte entfernt. Sie sind so super close. Sie müssen sie für es. Heck, auch X&Y.
03:32:37 43-40, um, still so close. Like, they could just be able to put themselves in that top, take it away from Vegas Inferno, and then we keep the games rolling. Yeah, and yeah, definitely a couple of teams who are looking to, you know, get up into that top seven, like MDY Heroes, Bearclaw, uh, and Vegas Inferno, obviously the frontrunners to do that right now. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right, and like, you know, I...
03:33:02 I'm still looking at Legends Gaming. They generally do take a little bit to get themselves a win, but it's been five matches now and it's a little bit crazy to see that they haven't gotten that steamrolling effect that we're so used to seeing. Maybe they're just playing around and they're going to turn things up now and just skyrocket up and then annoy all the teams at the top. Who knows? But yeah, I guess Weibo as well is another team that I'm a little bit confused. Not seeing them even remotely that close.
03:33:31 It is a little bit strange, and it also just opens up...
03:33:48 so much for these other teams like Las Vegas Inverno Lace, because usually Weibo, Legends Gaming, they would be soaking up so many of the points in their dominating victories. But all of a sudden, it's a free-for-all and a team like LVI has really risen up and sort of taken that chance now that they've been offered it. Yeah, and as we have a look at how Vegas Inverno has been going over our...
03:34:13 2nd, 10th, 4th, 13th, 2nd. So, like you said, Gino.
03:34:20 Could be a win. You know, that magic button could be pushed where they ended all here. And now, of course, we head into game number six again on Storm Point. You know, it's going to be tough. I think from the previous game, they had quite an early position, if I'm not incorrect. So, you know, they really held it together for them and, you know, started to get those kills right until the very moment. Obviously, VK Gaming took the win, but, you know, that doesn't matter sometimes.
03:34:49 They've had the points throughout it. They've been having such an excellent bunch of games today. So, you know, it's leading up to a win. I feel it.
03:34:58 I keep saying I feel stuff and it's wrong, but I'm going to say it's very possible. Well, look, I mean, Vegas only won one game the entire split so far, Lace. So, I don't know, maybe they've been like hoarding their win button from like Pro League in general just to save it for today. And that would be good timing if ever. But yeah, I mean, you know, playing from Coastal Camp on Storm Point is a tough one. But hey, they've been making that work. They took Overlook in...
03:35:28 6th spot as well over in World's Edge. So interesting picks out of LVI, but they've been absolutely doing so well from it as we get some of those Legend picks coming through here for our 6th game. So it's kind of live now, you know. We're onto it. There's teams on Matchpoint. It could end at any moment.
03:35:52 Speaking of picks, where is that Newcastle? You know, we've got, you know, I guess still the Horizon pick. I'm pretty certain that's, you know, Grape Soda have been sort of been doing that, you know, quite well. What the heck is that, Gino? And that is a rev right down the bottom there. So somebody's playing a game. Well, somebody's, you know, wanting to be, I guess, a more aggressive play style or might need that extra, you know, bit of health after knocking a few players. But that's exciting to see. Yeah, a remarkable rev is a hint.
03:36:22 Very true. Remarkable Rev. Hopefully get themselves up in there. But you know what? We are heading over to game number six, guys. So this is going to be on Storm Point once again. Will Vegas Inferno get their win finally today and end it all? Who knows? I'm sure other teams are going to let it happen. Let's find out right now. Game number six.
Matchpoint-Szenarien, strategische Anpassungen und die Suche nach dem entscheidenden Sieg
03:36:44
03:36:44 Yes, well, this could be the final game of the split, though. The chances are it won't be. I mean, one team out of 20, you're asking to get the dub. It's pretty long odds, especially when that team has only managed to pick up the one win for the split so far. But one thing that is quite interesting to note, and Lace and I were talking about this in that pre-match.
03:37:03 ... ... ... ...
03:37:22 Ja, ihr seht wie gut sie waren, wenn sie, um, pilen es.
03:37:51 in ein wirklich schwieriger Endgame. Aber als du sagst, wenn du die einzige Team mit dem Team bist, ich glaube nicht, dass die Newcastle Wallen bleiben. Die Leute werden alle Ballen in ihre Backpacks geben. Ich sage das. Wir hatten die Situation an Land, wo es zwei Teams gibt, auf Matchpoint. Both Watson Teams und, you know,
03:38:20 Sorry, all the Watson teams left alive in the lobby were on Match Point, and they still didn't get targeted. So you never know, man. Well, sometimes the pro players drop the ball. Yeah, I mean, look, sometimes maybe we overthink it. Who knows? But, uh, this conversation for a little bit later on, as we are now sort of getting stuck into the thicker things. VK Gaming making an early rotate. This pull is going to sort of lean in around Checkpoint, Cascade Fall, Seto Station, and the Trenches. Those are kind of the four main landmarks still involved.
03:38:48 Aber es ist ein bisschen schwer zu sagen, wo es das gleiche ist. Most Teams denken vielleicht Checkpoint, vielleicht Trenches. Sie werden die Pool weitergehen. Und dann geht es weiter aus dem Nrw. Und dann... ...dammage aus von den Arxar. Das ist ein bisschen ein Problem, hier. Es ist ein Remarkable Team. Sie verlieren Risiko early in der Peace. One Monster Firebird... ...losing themselves one in response. So let's go back to... ...one of those remaining members.
03:39:14 So 1v1, now Warmonster Firebird, the Revenant is going to be too much for them, so we did ask whether or not we were going to get the Revenant, and we did, but maybe not for very long. This is going to be a third party for SWQ. SWQ, they get the scan in, they'll see that there are members on the ground via the Eye of the Allfather, and that means Red's going to get out. He's going to leap straight out of there, knows he has to try and...
03:39:41 Rejig this somehow he's like within the ring so we'll have time to do it but the real question is you know no sport legend obviously I think do we have any support legends I think apart from I think Newcastle was potentially the only one right and now that he is yes
03:40:09 Well, Makers... ...did kind of just miss out on the back end of that previous game, and so they were stuck on 39 points. Their fate isn't necessarily in their own hands at the moment. Just kind of got to do what they can to get to 50, and both the LVI can't get much more. Heroes... ...similar kind of a discussion for them. And, uh, already doing a bit of a number to GK, who's sitting inside of this building as well.
03:40:35 Oh, rough one, Racky has to run away.
03:40:53 GK have to have a phenomenal day. 20th place coming into this. As we've said, mathematically impossible for them to make it via points. It's a match point win or nothing. Started off okay, but they don't need okay. They need excellent. They need the best. Well, that's kind of what Vegas Inferno need right now as well. They need the best. They need the dub. They need the one.
03:41:23 Der Zornpool war nicht besonders gut für LBi, also haben sie nicht wirklich eine Premium-Position. Aber sie sind die Weg in. Ich habe meine Augen geöffnet auf dem, das ganze Spiel, als Sie sollten, als auch. Weibo haben definitiv unterschaut den Marken heute. Das hat nicht zu viel verändert, JackieChan. Sehr low. Aber sie sind die bessere VKG an dieser Stelle. Da sind 3rd-Party Shots kommen durch von SWQ, das sie müssen wissen.
03:41:50 Ja, ich kann es jetzt auch noch nicht beendet werden, so es ist wirklich nicht, es ist nicht ein guter Tag für Weibo. Oh, Final Dream. Ja, wenn sie wieder auf den Backen hier sind, dann können wir ihn wieder komplett machen. Boring, er hat den Evac-Tower ausgesucht. Ah, sie spot ihn auf, no worries. Und da wir gehen. Sie sind dann für. Final Dream.
Spannungsgeladene Entscheidungen und Matchpoint-Szenarien im Apex Legends APAC-S Regional Finale
03:42:12
03:42:12 Grab the kills. Yeah, I'd say at this point, it's kind of impossible almost for Weibo to make it to land, right? Like, they're just so far down the scoreboard now that there's no real chance of them making it through on placements and to come back for a dub on the day, you're looking at it having to be like another 10-11 game kind of day, right? Where everyone else fails and there's going to be so many opportunities for teams to finish it off prior to that that you just...
03:42:38 Look, you've just got to hope and pray, really. That's the only thing you can do. But it certainly has not been their day. Either way, VK Gaming, they kind of have to be a little careful here, right? Caster at 9-5-1 obviously has a duo. You don't have a massive job, actually, to do in this game. You just need to get another three points out of it. But being two as opposed to three just makes it so much scarier that, you know, you might get a kill point or two and then just get finished off third-party, something like that, and miss out by another one point, which would be a massive, massive loss at this point in the day.
03:43:06 Every game you miss is another opportunity for maybe, you know, like next game. It's probably two, three, maybe four teams that have managed to reach match point eligibility. VK getting that respawn. So that's something to be said. Assuming that they managed to, you know, regroup with all three safely. Here is Legends Inferno. Legends Inferno. Las Vegas Inferno. It might be Legends Inferno at the end of today. If they can get the dub in this game. Still looking pretty healthy for now. SWQ!
03:43:34 Sie sind viel Arbeit in diesem Spiel. Sie haben viele Kills gemacht. Ja, sie sind okay. Sie sehen, dass der voll send von Fossi auf dem Horizont ist. Und es ist ein 2v2 an dem Moment. Aber X and Y haben sie jetzt geschehen. Ich sehe, dass der Scans kommt.
03:43:57 They now know the state of play. This team is looking dangerous and I can see them picking up the remainder of the kills in this fight. Yeah, most definitely. Thirsty for some points, that is for sure. And they're going to get a couple of them. Up to 44. Putting that pressure back on LBI next game. If LBI don't manage to get it done here and they've dropped a member.
03:44:22 Nades are flowing it through as well. This might just be it. Oh, Las Vegas Inferno. It is just not coming together. And we will definitely be going another game now, surely. A-Flow done. That's it. Las Vegas Inferno are out. And it will confirm us one more game at least. So VKG, X and Y, Heroes, Bearclaw Gaming. That starts to now become the big conversation here of match number six. VKG is so close to match point.
03:44:47 It must just feel awful when you're on 45 plus points and you're like, hey guys, just stick it out. We only need a couple. And then you take an early game fight and go down without confirming any of those kills. But you can see three points away now. Fighting on blues in the mid game is okay, but they don't want to be stuck in this position later on. The first knock onto Final Dream is great now that BKG have got all three members back up and alive.
03:45:15 Nur eine Aim-Bot ist aufgewachsen. Und sie tun das ohne Killedevil zu spüren.
03:45:24 You'd have to hope so. Bit painful to miss out on. BKE Gaming are actually gonna take the ultra safe route and just back off, give ground. And I don't hate it, you know, like, you're one point away, right? So... With those couple of points on the board... That was definitely the right decision. Yeah, you just have to look for one little ratty kill or replacement point here. You got them there.
03:45:50 Ich glaube, sie haben sie zu 49. Okay, meine Mistake. 50 Points, sie sind auf 2. Ja, absolut die richtige Chance. Welch, das wird es. Absolut die richtige Chance, dann. Und von hier auf aus, es geht's nicht wirklich, was passiert für den Rest des Spiels. Ja, da geht's. 50 Points confirmiert. Du wirst nicht gewinnen, eigentlich. Ich denke, das ist das. Das wäre mein Take-Way. Ich glaube, ich denke, VK Gaming würde nicht gewinnen. Ich denke, das ist wie, dass wir das Wunnen auf den Wunnen auf den Wunnen. Wenn du bist, ist das Wunnen auf den Wunnen. Und ich bin ehrlich, ich habe so viele Teams gesehen.
03:46:19 Ich habe so viele Teams get the win, um zu 50 Punkte zu 50, aber sie können nicht mehr machen. Es ist etwas zu sagen für die confidence, dass es dir gibt, aber ich glaube, dass es eine psychologische Triggery ist, in gewinnen ein Spiel, bevor du zu Match Point bist, das würde einfach mit deinem Mind zu messen.
03:46:37 Ja, ich denke, die deeper wir in die Lobby werden, wie die Messier die Games tend zu bekommen werden, über die ganze Zeit. Uh, so nächsten Mal wird es Game 7. Und die Teams werden zu denken, okay, ich werde ein bisschen tired jetzt. Und, you know, es ist... Es ist ein bisschen zu sagen, für die Teams, die auf den Boden auf die Scoreboarden haben, keine Chance zu machen. Sie werden denken, wel... Das Kind of Sucks.
03:47:00 Und du kannst zu sehen, irgendwelche Shenanigans passieren, vielleicht von den nächsten paar Jahren. Ich glaube, dass sie sich jetzt nicht mehr aufgelistet haben, aber nicht mehr so viel Erfolg haben. Das sind 8 Punkte für den Tag. Und in 20er Platz, overall... Das hat wirklich eine sehr gute Chance, um es zu landen.
03:47:26 I hear a Rez coming in, I believe that's VK Gaming. They got into Checkpoint and have now just pulled back in their third member.
03:47:41 As soon as they do it, of course, it does put a little bit of a target on their back. The dropship, you know. It's a pretty large, loud beacon saying, hey everyone, we're over here. And we're, you know, not in as good a spot as we would like to be. So Legends Gaming actually do push them out. It's a checkpoint zone. So most teams do seem to have gotten onto this. Going over checkpoint itself will probably finish just, you know, outside. It's unlikely to finish.
03:48:09 wo es die Multi-Platform Strukture ist, um, hierher von der Partie, die wir hier sehen. Und das bedeutet, dass es eine sehr schwierige Position zu pushen, wenn der Team schon da ist.
03:48:24 Ja, lots of high ground, lots of weird nooks and crannies. Dreamfire on the building on the low ground though, that'll actually be a really important spot to hold I think. Man, where's Dreamfire on there unbelievable right now? 22 points, still quite a ways away. Killdevil at 32, that's some nice shots with the scout, they're on to JR and XD and X and Y are gonna get taken down, I think they've just missed out.
03:48:49 Ich weiß nicht genau, wo sie waren, aber sie waren 43 oder so. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie nicht genug sind, um zu 50 zu sein. So, sie werden sich auf den Seiten für einen anderen Spiel, um zu 50 zu sein. EMP von VK Gaming auf den Topen, da von VK Gaming... ...dosn't resultatend in so much of a push. Ouch, für X and Y. Ja, confirm, dass sie nur 40 sind. Jesus, das ist ein schwerer für sie.
03:49:22 Konflikt von Kasa. Und ein Remarkable Team ist in der 11.
03:49:29 Ich werde jetzt noch weiter mit VK Gaming fighten, aber ich kann es nicht mit viel Druck machen, dass die Job ist, dass wir zu 50 Punkte haben. Aber dann wieder, dass jeder Punkt ganz wichtig ist, wenn wir die Overall-Leaderboarden Placementen haben, dann noch immer wieder zu denken über das Geld. Ich meine, VK Gaming ist sehr safe, wenn es durch die Placement oder durch die Matchpoint-Format geht. Aber, du kannst, du kannst 1,000 Euro machen.
Strategische Manöver und Matchpoint-Dramatik im Apex Legends Regionalfinale
03:49:55
03:49:55 mehr, wenn man 2nd oder 3rd ist, als 5th oder 6th ist. Das ist eine große Unterschiede. Und jetzt sind sie auf den ersten Platz. Als ich gesagt habe, ist es sehr glücklich, dass sie getrennt. Wenn sie einen Top 3 auf den Tag getrennt. Ja, das ist eigentlich Land für sie. Die ersten Mal. Also, es ist immer schön, dass sie neue Fähigkeiten zu haben und sehen, ob sie wirklich mit der Welt's besten können.
03:50:21 As you can see, they've got two solos just hanging around. Racky and Crazy Kong are gonna be slowly walking in up behind them. Two separate guerrilla forces on the back of VKG here as they try to avoid shots from that deadly high ground walking in. It's actually working out pretty well for them. They're gonna run into each other. Racky's going down into the trenches as well, but he's got no idea Crazy Kong's here. So he should just get cleaned up.
03:50:50 Oh, er ist nicht. Das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja.
03:51:05 Ja, Racki ist auf 120 HP, so er definitiv nicht. Racki ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Er ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Er ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Er ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Er ist weg. Von Racki ist weg. Er ist weg. Von Racki ist weg.
03:51:37 Geros sind drei Punkte entfernt, Makers sind sechs, Bearclaw Gaming sind sechs. All drei noch bleiben im Kampf in diesem Spiel. So es ist nicht nur zwei Teams, die Matchpoint-Eligibilität sind. Es ist vielleicht drei oder vier. Legends waren in ein guter Platz im Spiel. Aber sie haben nicht gemacht, aber sie haben auch erstes gemacht.
03:51:59 Once again, they found themselves in a decent position, but this time they need to convert. They want to put themselves back in the conversation, even if just for bragging rights today. Well, the bragging rights are definitely few and far between for them at the moment.
03:52:20 Heroes have made their cross to the buildings, forcing Makers back a little bit. They're happy to play underneath. Not a bad shout when you're only three points away. Every possibility that a team maybe just drops down or someone's fighting up top and drops into your sightline. You pick up a cheeky point here or there. Very playable. At least for the moment. Never want to take things slow. As slow as possible.
03:52:55 So Dreamfire, we said they were in a good position in this building down here. Unfortunately, the circle pool's just outside of it, so they'd be kind of hoping, you know, maybe just a corner would be in and the pylon would really save them for that last walk-in, but unfortunately, no. Them and Guild Esports are getting pushed out starting now.
03:53:25 Guild have made their cross, but it was not unscathed. I thought they managed to make it okay, but just as I start speaking, Empty and Legacy both get taken down and Jesko's not too far behind them. So Guild eliminated very quickly at the hands of Legends who are pretty desperate for any point at the moment. Still sitting in 18th overall. And if Makers were to win it, there would be still a world where maybe they could overtake Legends for first for the split.
03:53:54 A lot of things have to go wrong for Legends, but that's kinda happening at the moment. Still, VK Gaming, under the pump a bit. Again, not too concerned, but 61 points, top of the lobby, feeling happy. Legends, do get eliminated.
03:54:10 D.K. steaming ahead hier. Und sie haben nur die kleinere, kleinere Sprecher. Und sie sehen, Bearcourt hat einen höheren Grund und sie haben es selbst hier. So eine Weaponne wie der 30-30, das ist perfekt in dieser Situation.
03:54:30 Ja, Karsa ist es in der Hand von der 30-30-Repeater. Und das wird die Go-Signal für Bearclaw. Sie wollen noch sechs Punkte aus dieser Spiel. Es fühlt sich um. Die Heroes brauchen nur den 1. Bearclaw ist in dieser Smoke, aber sie wissen... sie wissen die VKG sind in dieser kleinen Sliver-Safety. In fact, was es Dreamfire in da? Ich dachte, es war VKG. Oh, VKG sind auf einer anderen Seite!
03:54:57 But either way, besides the point, Heroes have made it to 50, and Makers are now 2 points away, so we're gonna have multiple teams. Bearclaw also 2 points away. This is gonna be where, you know, LVI, they really feel like they missed the trick, you know. There'll be like 4 or 5 teams next game that are on match point eligibility.
03:55:16 Es ist ein ziemlich schweres für sie. Sie müssen sagen, Knucklekoster ist sehr effektiv in diesen Situationen, wo die Spieler, wie wir sehen, sind in den größten Bereichen hier. Okay, und Bearcord hat es geplant, so ich weiß nicht, ob sie 50 machen, wahrscheinlich nicht. Whereas, Heroes & Makers definitiv haben jetzt alle diese Teams. Wir werden es geplanten, aber keine von Match Point kommen in dieses Spiel.
03:55:44 Ich denke, A.G. hat einen RIDICULOUS-AMOUNT OF KILLS. Sie waren sub-50, so wir werden nicht gewonnen haben. Aber man, die Top-Teams sind für ihre Wins. Ja, das wird ein Spiel. E.M.P. ist in den Fickern, und Makers sind auch. A.G.H.E.A.G.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.T.A.
03:56:09 Oh my god, QQ actually has a solo. He might actually be able to win this. Surely not VK Gaming. You cannot write a script like this one. They've just gone and done a massive game to get to the 50 point threshold and gone well past it. It has to be said. But is that the dub that is the curse? Because I've seen it before. And dare I say we might see it again here with VK Gaming getting a dub at a pretty... Look, it's a...
03:56:37 Ja, goddamn.
03:56:43 They were just steamrolling everything. Like you said, you know, we've obviously, you know, you can win the match point, but them earning this amount of points just, you know, is pretty much going to guarantee them like those top spots. So they were just steamrolling everything. And we love a classic like little rat solo to win off the match. That was crazy. But you know what, guys? We keep the games rolling because Vegas Inferno, you know, they got knocked out a little bit early there. But, you know, that means that it paves the way for the rest.
03:57:12 Oh man, yeah, they punched a whole entire fist through that target, haven't they? It's just such a crazy game. I mean, I'm waiting to see how many kills they got in the end. It must be an absolute bucket load.
03:57:42 But yeah, that was certainly one way to convince us that they're worthy of potentially taking out a title here today.
03:57:51 Und ich glaube, das ist ein bisschen lustig hier für GKEsports. Die 1v1 ist einfach so schnell. Unfortunate für sie, aber es ist, dass es ein bisschen mehr Position ist, von ihnen. Aber hier haben wir QQ, die 3 zu sehen. Sie sehen, QLiter bereits mit der 7, um das extra Point in der Wind zu bekommen. Aber, you know, Elfish...
03:58:13 Is it going to happen? Is it going to be like, you know, Genome, we're talking about the button push where you get the win. You know, is it going to be difficult for them moving forward? Or is this just the beginning with the 14 kills from VK Gaming Genome? That is crazy. Yeah, look, I'll just, I'll put away whatever we were...
03:58:29 you know the smack we were talking about bangalores before because we've just seen qq pull out of two and a half k and bastion as well uh pull out of two and a half k asias as well so we got three bangalores uh pulling out almost 7500 damage between them um yeah well really leading the way uh for their respective teams their vkg makers and heroes
Matchpoint-Anwärter und strategische Wendungen im Apex Legends APAC-S Finale
03:58:54
03:58:54 Yeah, Hero's got to be really happy about that too, because they were incredibly close to that threshold as well, which tips them over at the top. It's actually a little bit less teams, I thought, joining our 50-point match point eligibility, but let's find out right now exactly who's going to be in contention. We've got Makers, Heroes, and VK Gaming, of course, joining in with Vegas Inferno, Elfish. I thought it was going to be a little bit more than that. Bearclaw Gaming, so close.
03:59:23 Ja, ich dachte, Bearclaw war zu werden, auch. Es wäre sehr painful, sehr hart-breaking für Bearclaw, wenn sie das nächste Spiel gewinnen sind. Sie waren nur zwei Punkte entfernt, ich meine, x- und y-four Punkte entfernt. Du kannst definitiv expecten diese zwei Teams zu werden in der nächsten Spiel. So, der Job wird immer schwieriger für die Teams, die bereits qualified für Matchpoint-Eligibilität haben, wenn sie nicht es geschafft haben. Und das wird das, was wir werden sagen, über die nächsten drei, vier, fünf Spiele, wenn wir...
03:59:51 So, VK Gaming...
04:00:19 Have they peaked too soon? Have they pulled out that sort of magic round a little bit too early? We'll obviously have to wait and see. I mean, maybe they can go back to back. But yeah, a couple other teams sort of hanging around as well. And it's starting to heat up now.
04:00:31 Yeah, no, it definitely is. And, you know, I'm always optimistic about, you know, them getting another win, but it's still a great accomplishment for them because they will definitely, you know, be in those top spots. You know, we're sending through seven teams. Obviously, Legends Gaming Genome have, you know, a ticket through already. So we're just trying to find the other six to join them. VK Gaming looking like they're going to definitely be in one of those spots. But of course, you know, they probably want the money as well. You know, that's always sitting over there.
04:01:01 Yeah, this is the scoreboard as it stands if the game...
04:01:29 ...were to end now, basically. So, these would be the seven teams that would go through to playoffs if it was done. So, just gives you a bit of an idea of where we're sitting at this point in the day. And it's actually crazy to see Vegas Inferno just not managing to get it over the line there. They would be sitting in eighth. They would need seventh to make it through to the playoffs. You get the top seven teams. Legend's doing enough still to sort of sit on top.
04:01:51 So it hasn't really changed up too much. The only difference would be Guild in and MDY out? Or Bearclaw out? No, no, no. It hasn't changed it at all. So these are the top seven. Yeah, yeah, they are. So there's been a swap in, I think, in placement from SWQ and XMY. But it just shows you that there was a big gap between Dreamfire and MDY going into this day. And Vegas have...
04:02:19 Almost done enough to get there. But it's still...
04:02:25 Es ist noch ein schweres Ask für sie, denn sie sind auch auf DREAMFIRE, wie Sie sehen, auf DREAMFIRE, nicht so gut. DREAMFIRE, Mitteling Day, sie haben sich auf ein paar Plätze für Vegas zu kommen. So wirklich, Vegas ist einfach nur für das Matchpoint-Win. Es ist nicht nur für jemanden, es ist nur für sie, wenn sie das Auto-Win, Golden Ticket, als wir so sagen. Wenn du die Matchpoint-Finals gewinnen, das Team immer 100%.
04:02:54 Gets to land. And it's very true, you know, Dreamfire, a bit mediocre today, still doing excellent, but it is very much possible, Gino. But we're going to take ourselves a short little break. Don't go anywhere. We're continuing on the Apex action here in Apex South. So don't go anywhere. We'll see you soon.
04:04:52 Welcome back, everyone. We're the Apex Games. Keep on keeping on. We are about to head into game number seven, but that's not without, I guess, you know, looking at match number six with VK Gaming absolutely steamrolling their way into match point eligibility. We now have a fair few teams in the match point eligibility status. And if you're just joining us and you have no idea what that means, teams need to earn 50 points.
04:05:22 Basically, once they do that, they become match point eligible. We currently have Legends Gaming, sorry, we currently have VK Gaming, Makers, Heroes and Vegas Inferno on that threshold. So all they need to do now, and I say all they need to do, that's easier said than done, is win a game to end everything today. So, you know, VK Gaming, we've been sort of saying this, will they get another win? Is it possible?
04:05:49 Wir sehen uns auf Wraith, Valkyrie.
04:06:18 up a few slots there uh and the revenant seems to be sticking around for remarkable team as well they switched on to that only uh in game six but um looks like game seven they uh happy enough with that i don't know one fight win they had at the start to give it another run
04:06:37 Yeah, you know, they maybe just want to give it another opportunity, another chance. They kind of want to get those points. You know, we know sort of Rev is that full send kind of get, I wouldn't say a second chance, but the extra 75 HP when you knock down someone. So it could be working for them. I don't think it worked the previous match. They played it, but maybe they're going to give it another solid go. But let's find out right now. We're going to head into game number seven. We're back on World's Edge. Are we going to see it end now or carry on? Let's find out.
04:07:10 Well, four teams that can get it done right now. You can see them at the top of the screen there. BK Gaming Makers leading the charge. One thing that's interesting to me as we jump into this next match is Weibo. We were sort of touching on them a little bit today. Gino, interesting compositions from them with the Bangalore Crypto Wraith. That was primarily what they were running. They ran that five games in a row. Then they changed things up for the previous game, brought in a Pathfinder Horizon. That didn't really work out either. Now they've gone back to Bang, Blood, Valkyrie. So, um...
04:07:39 Ja, das ist ein interessantes Set von Compositions. Ich meine, Valkyrie ist... Wir hatten ein smattering von es. Throughout... Throughout the season. Throughout the split here. I wouldn't say it's been...
04:08:09 A crazy good pick. Talking to the teams that do run it, they say, you know, if there's less other Valkyries in the lobby, it does allow you to hit a couple of spots that maybe other teams can't. But at the same time, you know, we are seeing teams just hit evacs, hit balloons for those late rotates in the Duke. You know, mostly the same thing. Like, yeah, maybe if you get the upgrades, like Valko can go a little bit higher, a little bit further.
04:08:37 Aber ich glaube, es ist nicht so viel von einem Unterschied, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Ja, ja. Ich verstehe nicht, das ist einfach, was ich zu sagen, weil Valkyrie ist wahrscheinlich mein Lieblings-Legend, mein go-to. Ich glaube, es ist einfach so cool. Ja, ich glaube, es hat viel Platz in der Meta, aber wir sehen. By the way, das Fight ist wieder zu passieren. Grape, Soda.
04:09:02 Oh, ein sehr guter paar Shots mit der Vault, aber nicht genug für die Nocturz noch. Und so Grape Soda ist auf der Hunt, auf der Chase. Und wieder, es ist Racky. Auf der Barfinder, bei ihm selbst. Aber ein paar paar Shots kam aus von Fosse. Flatline hits Mark, und Grape Soda, once again, wird...
04:09:28 KP early into the game. How, you know, does that mean anything? Uh, we get to the pointy end of things, I don't know. But, they do have the circle this time. The zone is pulling the wards us here in Lava Cycle. Well, see, this is where that, uh, little bit of a good play for VK Gaming, they've gone back to back with dubs, but they've pulled the dubs out at the wrong time, right? Like, this is the game that you want to win.
04:09:53 Und sie werden vielleicht den zweiten Team eliminiert werden, wenn sie weitergehen können, wie sie es haben. Ein Remarkable Team versuchen sie zu schießen. 9-5-1 hat sich confirmiert.
04:10:02 So das ist der Ende des VK Gaming, das ist ein Team der Matchpoint-Eligible, direkt auf 18. 19 für dieses Spiel, ich würde sagen. Und ja, das fühlt sich ein bisschen wie ein Curse ist. Das ist genau das zu Team Burgo, wenn sie wieder zurückgegangen sind, um, um...
04:10:25 Over here on World's Edge, they were landing at Staging, so it was a fairly, you know, priority rotate for them there. On VK Gaming's side, and find this button Command Center, but sometimes, you run into it at exactly the same time as another team, and you're just gonna take and win that 3v3. VK Gaming don't get it done this time, and that's the end of their chances here in Match 7. Remarkable team. They've gotten another one. Got rid of Evo's Predator, but...
04:10:54 This might be one too many as Evo's Predator rocks up. Or is it Final Dream? Final Dream on the perfect timing to catch Remarkable Team. So a little bit messy over that Command Center, as you say. And perhaps some other teams taking different approaches. Vegas Inferno may be learning from their mistake in the last game. They don't want to be rotating too much early in the game. They have set themselves up with a fortress inside a little house.
04:11:23 Watson fences up. And they are not going to do anything for the rest of the game if they don't have to. I mean, at some point, presumably, they will have to do something. I'm not sure if I've seen a pro game yet where they, you know, can wait the other team out and just let them die to the ring, but... But they're in a good spot. They're actually in quite a good spot. Like, this ring could pull in their direction, definitely. And if it does, they are well set up.
04:11:56 Let's see where Makers and Heroes have ended up. Makers are still down in stacks and Big Mord. Heroes rotating their way in from the north. Still a bit of a way to go for them. Let's see how this goes for Weibo. We talked about their composition change-up.
Entscheidende Momente und überraschende Wendungen im Apex Legends APAC-S Regionalfinale
04:12:22
04:12:22 Perhaps just going back to what they are used to which would be the bang in the blood Although the interactions a little different, but yeah, I mean it's been completely new to Mars to say right I mean the threat vision from piece of the hunter we're seeing right now It doesn't go through smokes, and it's just like okay
04:12:40 Um, at that point, what is it really doing for you? You get a tiny bit of extra speed with it. Like, that's about it. You get the extra, um, you know, they've changed the way the ravens work a little bit, but at this point, at the pro level, it's not actually doing a lot for you. No. Bearclaw Gaming, I mean, two points away. I want to make sure that they don't stay at 48 this game.
04:13:08 Assuming this will not be the last game of the day. Oh no! The dub and guild. Yeah, they've gotten booked. Until we finish off. Legacy's in a bit of trouble here. He does get the passive assistance. Courtesy of Bangalore's passive, but... Still in a bit of dodge. These heroes are kind of looking at this alongside Dreamfire. First time the MT's been on the wrong end of a volley from Dreamfire, but...
04:13:40 Das ist nicht die Zeit, wenn man sich in dieser Position befindet, Guild. Als wir in der Grafik sehen, ist es okay für den Moment. Wenn wir noch ein paar Spiele haben, dann wird es eine Chance, die Leute starten creepierst und überrascht.
04:13:56 All you need is for, say, Las Vegas Inferno to creep ahead of them. And then one team even further down who's completely out of that top seven to win the match point. And all of a sudden Kild can find themselves in the cold on the outer as far as the split two playoffs go.
04:14:18 Well, Weibo, working their way through Harvester at the moment, they're going to backfill in behind Legends, which is certainly a team to be stuck behind. Guild looks like they're going to have another crack at a res, or at least they have the option to have another crack at the res, though you've got Dreamfire still floating around, so if you do go for this, you're potentially giving up another point, and maybe even just getting teed at.
04:14:47 Ich denke, sie müssen besser denken über das.
04:14:56 Dreamfire gonna push their way forward to try to put that pressure on. Jesko is going over for the Rez Beacon. Wow, they actually managed to grab the banner. I thought Dreamfire was holding them off it, but apparently not. Either way, they'll still be trying to hold them out of the zone. Dreamfire are playing killraces at this point. Like, they're literally letting them get the Rez so they can kill them and get more points. I mean, I think they've got a couple of evacs on their side, so potentially Guild can just go over the top of them.
04:15:26 We'll see if I miss their timing, honestly. Why not just push in when it's 3v2, right? Yeah, that would be the thought. Try and take the fight then. Guild do have purples to their blues. Maybe that's the reason they're a little bit worried about that, but... Oh, they let it happen. Too late to make that choice now. X and Y in a bit of an awkward spot here as well. Remember, they are very close to match point eligibility and YC not being brought back to any degree of safety.
04:15:55 So, wenn wir die Banner haben, müssen wir nur zwei Punkte geben. Es ist wirklich nur zwei Punkte. Sie können nicht aufhören, um es zu bemerken. Aber es ist ziemlich schwer für X und Y an der Moment. Sie sind nicht einfach in diesem Spiel zu gehen. Sie müssen wieder nach der Zone gehen, um die Treppe zu gehen, um das Rez zu gehen. Legends, 18th Spot, 19 Punkte.
04:16:25 They are so far from being match point eligible right now. But actually, that's the other thing I was thinking about when we were looking at the leaderboard at the start of this game, Elfish, was how many teams can play spoiler, right? How many teams, you know, that often gives you an indication of when a match point series is going to end. How many teams with the ability to even win a game in a lobby like this are still around? And there's quite a few. You know, Weibo can definitely win a game. Legends can definitely win a game.
04:16:54 Um, so many of those teams down the bottom that haven't made their way, uh, up yet. Killed. Killed them. Dreamfire. Yeah, Dreamfire, X and Y. Uh, there's so many teams, uh, that still have that, uh, that capability. So, you know, that kinda makes me think that, you know, we, we definitely, uh, not definitely, we, we still could have a bit of life left in this year. Yeah, look, four teams, of which obviously one is now dead.
04:17:22 I wouldn't put my money on it. You know, there's more of, it feels at this point still quite substantially more of a possibility that we go at least one more than if we were to say we end here. The only thing I would say there is that Webber maybe not worth a mention given that they're down to only one member remaining. It doesn't seem to matter what composition they play. Today is just not their day. Dreamfire trying to gatekeep Guild on their way through, but Guild are surviving for the moment. Zones continue to pull away from them.
04:17:51 Yeah, I mean, it's gone towards the Crane. The Crane at the north of Lava Siphon. And Vegas Inferno. They're actually playing a spot in the house just north of the bridge. That could be really good. We're having a look at our Guild v Dreamfire version 2 here. Seer Ultimate goes down. All of a sudden, Guild have a lot more information. Dreamfire, of course. They do still have Peat.
04:18:19 Ich habe das Gefühl, ich habe das Gefühl, ich habe das Gefühl, Jessko. Okay.
04:18:54 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
04:19:22 Out in 12th spot. It's a shame that they didn't finish that by just a smidgen earlier, right? Because then they actually would have been in a fantastic spot. Ooh. Zone pool. Look at that. And it does. It actually goes up towards... Towards LVI. Yeah, up towards the grandma's house there. At least one of the houses that I believe. I don't know why grandma's such like a landlord, such a baron in the real estate.
04:19:50 Das ist denn sie hat die Haus seit Jahren. Das ist wahr. Und jetzt hat sie drei von ihnen. Ja. Das ist die Wand in zwischen Geyser und Siphon. Und das ist ja, LGD ist sehr gut. Und so ist Vegas Inferno auf der backen Seite. Heroes sind nicht. Heroes ist einer der Teams, die es zu Matchpoint-Eligibility ist, aber nicht zu tun. Ja. Es ist Makers und LVI, dass wir jetzt sind.
04:20:17 ...to maybe be able to make this one happen. Makers on the opposite side of the zone are gonna come in from the south and have to play edge. Whereas LVI have a little bit more of a stable setup inside. And again, we talked about LVI, you know, their chances of making it to land... ...don't necessarily come down to winning the day, but... ...it would be a damn sight easier if they did it that way, rather than relying on the placements.
04:20:41 This is a good opportunity for them, definitely. Ten teams remaining, they're in a good spot. Makers definitely don't feel as though they are quite as much. They have to make the push up the hill. Almost a Firebird above them on the cliff. And LGD across. I just don't really see the way out here for Makers with any degree of safety. Yeah, they've got double evacs, but yeah, like, you know, would there actually be a position to evac into? It's not like they've got...
04:21:09 Usually when you're making that sort of rotate it's because you've got a survey bacon scan and you can have some sort of level of certainty about a spot that's open. I think they might just be able to walk in honestly. They could probably play the fence on the top of the cliff there. Vegas Inferno popping a bit of damage here and there. Putting a bit of damage down as well. Trying to deal with this team that's pushing in onto them.
04:21:34 Hildevil, die vielleicht versuchen zu retten, gegen Vegas zu retten. Already, eine von ihnen down ist. LGD, die haben einen Cross Shots, auch. Und es ist nicht nur LGD. Du hast mehrere Teams jetzt in die 3rd Party. Bearclaw Gaming sind in diese Richtung. Vegas Inferno sind zu 2. Daher nicht mehr so viel Chance für Revive hier. Sie werden sich auf den Topfloor auf den Topfloor und versuchen, die alle Teams dazwischen. Das ist genau das passiert.
04:22:03 Vegas in the meanwhile do get themselves a kill on the southern side of the map. They're still 3 strong. Final Dream eliminated. Vegas Inferno. I don't think they can get back to 3. I think they're going to have to do it as 2.
04:22:22 Okay, Makers make their move, and they take out Warmonster Firebird. That's huge. They were previously occupying that building. They grab it. They grab a pylon to even help them.
04:22:35 Wir haben ein paar Teams auf dieser Seite auf dieser Seite, dieser Chasm. Wir haben ein paar Teams auf dieser Seite auf dieser Seite. Makers wird jetzt eine der besten Spots jetzt. Ich will, an dieser Stelle, deine attention zu, wer war, die Finals in Split 1 war. Es war Tom Yum-Koong.
04:23:05 Aja, Ziki, Dexter. So, can they go back-to-back? That is very much a possibility now, given the position that they find themselves in this zone. They have some safety inside of that building. Southside, they do have to deal with Legends Gaming, so that'll be something to think about. Bearclaw have managed to get over the line as well. They're up to 51 here, it must be said. If we go one more, we have another team to join. Vegas Inferno. Unable to do it this time around. Five teams remaining. Makers.
04:23:34 This could be their moment. Fork to go. Legends are taken out. Makers are trying to show some presence here. Trying to put some damage down onto SWQ, but they really cannot afford to drop a player right now. Ziggy, don't overstep. He's low on HP. Crazy Kong goes down. Makers are definitely getting the better of this fight, but it really does make me a little bit nervous to see them fighting like this. The south side, though, is now clear. Top three for Makers. And they will get the chance to reset.
04:24:04 Und so schnell, so cleanly, in style! There's only three teams left, and the other two are fighting! Makers now should be able to pull down on Heck! I think this is them! I think so as well, Makers! They don't need to do too much more, they have the favorable position, it's just Heck! Surely, surely it's Makers, they're gonna go back-to-back! They've done it, Makers! They get the dump here in Split 2 for Apex South! And it is gonna be the end!
04:24:30 The match point for today at match at number seven Makers have done it
04:24:39 And you know what's incredible about that? We said one of the least likely things that could possibly happen today was that Legends Gaming could lose the number one spot. In order for that to happen, Makers had to win and Legends Gaming had to come 19th or 20th. I don't know if that's happened just yet, but I am just fascinated to see that final scoreboard and see if they've actually managed to do the unthinkable and come away in the number one spot.
04:25:07 I was literally sitting here going, ah, we're going to go one more game. But no, Makers just stopped that in its way. Absolutely incredible from them. Exactly like you said, Elfish. You know, they have done this before. They know what they needed to do in these absolutely obliterating competitive matches. They are so absolutely ready to head over to LAN and make themselves known. But what a great...
04:25:31 Me too!
04:25:42 So close, I think it was with SWQ, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, they needed to hold on to each team member because it could have been over and then just being able to look over the top. What a win here. It wasn't even like it was super difficult to take out this clutch. It was kind of just peppering a few shots and that was it. I kind of feel like Asia's looked a bit shaky knowing exactly what was at stake to get this win, but incredible nonetheless.
04:26:07 Ja, es kam aus der Niveau, nicht? Weil die ganze Konversation, die in die Inferno haben, das könnte funktionieren. Das könnte für sie funktionieren. Und da waren einige Teams, die MAKERS haben zu bekommen. Und dann in der Zeit von zwei Minuten, es ging von MAKERS nicht wirklich nicht mehr als ein threat zu, dass sie definitiv werden. Und dann ist es, oh, oh, es ist over. Ich war definitiv, wie du gesagt, gearing up für eine andere Spiel. Das fight, wie du gesagt, gegen SWQ...
04:26:34 If they would have lost a member there and a player would have gone down, it could have been a different story. Would have taken them a lot longer to get a reset. Maybe that provides the time for Bearclaw to get their reset as well. But either way, look, it didn't happen. And we have makers that go back to back. They did it as Tom Yum-Kung last split. They do it as makers here again. So I don't know what it is about this match point format, but this team just comes out of nowhere and sort of makes it happen. And that's exactly what they did today as well.
04:27:00 Ja, und das ist der Moment, die wir alle warten haben. Mal schauen, warum wir jetzt alle diese Spiele haben. Aber die Serie ist der Leaderboard!
04:27:09 And of course, Makers win the Matchpoint format. Excellent job to them. But oh my lord, it was just so close for like a couple of teams, like Bearclaw Gaming, I believe. Did they just get Matchpoint on that game, G-Dome? And, you know, didn't, you know, obviously get the win there, but still, you know, top third place. That's still excellent. But yeah, it's just, you know, escaped them a little bit. I'm just blown away with how well Makers did.
04:27:35 Ja, ein paar Crucial Fights. Das war einfach der anderen. Das war für sie für sie in der Lobby. Aber zu sehen, dass die anderen Resultaten werden, die diese Teams verändern. Vegas Inferno zu 5th. Und Dreamfire in 12th. Das wird es wirklich schwer für Vegas. Das sind die Cinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella-Kinderella. Und die andere war...
04:28:04 that Legends Gaming managed to get, I think it was something like 11 points in that final game, and maybe even 9 points, whatever it was, it was enough to push them up just a scant few places on the leaderboard there, and probably grab them that first place overall in the split. Well, we can only send 7...
04:28:26 Not only that, congratulations to Legends Gaming, but the standings going into today...
04:28:52 Well, they stand. No one manages to creep their way up. Bearclaw and Vegas were so close. They were, you know, I guess they would have both been cheering for Makers not to win that game because anything could have happened in the next game to change some of these, you know, some of these situations. But Dreamfire, who obviously, you know, they missed out on the split one playoffs for the first time in a long...
04:29:17 Und dann verlieren sie ihren Longtime Leader in Ruyi. Sie einfach nur durch hier in die 7th place.
04:29:24 Yeah, I feel like Elfish, Vegas Inferno fought so hard today. It's almost a little bit upsetting that they just didn't get there, but what an excellent game from them. But yeah, Elfish, you know, our throwback king. Dreamfire's going back on stage! I don't know how you feel about that. I'm super pumped. Well, I've got to be happy for them, but man, they really did not make it easy for themselves. You have to sort of mention the seven-point lead that they had going into today in the tournament standings overall, and what a difference that...
04:29:54 Aber das hat eigentlich gemacht, all things considered. Es ist die Unterschiede. Es ist die Unterschiede. Wenn sie nicht die 7 Punkte haben, wenn sie 6 Punkte haben, dann vielleicht kommt es um ein Head-to-Head-Tie-Break oder eine Situation. Das wäre mit Bearclaw. Oder sie missen, und Bearclaw geht in und sie nicht. Oder wer weiß, was passiert. So, sie haben nur genug in der Regular-Split zu machen. Und ich glaube, das ist, dass...
04:30:17 You do get rewarded for consistency in a game like this. Battle Royales, really, at the end of the day, they are all about consistency, and they were just, just consistent enough to make it through, even despite not having a great day today.
04:30:29 Yeah, and Gino, I want to pull out some knowledge because, you know, I've not been around the scene the whole time, but any of our top seven teams, have they never been, like, anyone has not been to a LAN before or they all sort of know what's expected of them on the main stage? Yeah, let me just pull up the list again, but I'm fairly sure that some of them have not been before. VK Gaming?
04:30:51 Um, I mean, if we're going down the list, Legends, obviously, have done very well. Makers, uh, you know, they are veterans at this point. But VK and XNY are two Chinese teams there. Um, yeah, both have not made it to LAN before. SWQ, um, also. So we've got three new teams, um, coming over from, um, that Asian region. And, yeah, they're going to be getting their first taste of LAN. Guild Esports, obviously.
04:31:19 haben sehr gut dieses Jahr gemacht. Sie sind ein bisschen neu zu es. Und Dreamfire, mit dem Veränderung der Passe, wird wiederholfen die Ranks in APAC-South. So, ja, so far wie es geht, wir haben drei Teams, die sich nicht auf der großen Stage gesehen haben.
04:31:37 Ja, das muss ein tolles Gefühl sein. Du wirst all den Weg durch diese Ranks gehen. Splits sind so eine langfristige Prozess. Und es ist nicht nur die Splits, sondern es ist die Arbeit außerhalb der All-Welt-Welt-Welt-Welt-Welt-Welt-Welt. Und nicht nur das, sondern es wird in Deutschland für Splits-Welt-Welt. So das ist super spannend. Wir lieben diese Veränderungen. Es ist ein Apex Legends-Global-Welt-Welt-Welt-Welt-Welt. Wir wollen es überall. Wir wollen es in verschiedenen Bereichen. So haben wir es in Deutschland.
04:32:06 ist super, super amazing. You know, one day we'll get it in Australia. That's fine. But for now, Germany, that's going to be the creme de la creme for these teams. But yeah, super excited to see, I guess, them go head to head with the best. You know, how are they going to face up against, you know, Not Moist, for example, you know, these teams that came from our region, Dark Zero, you know, that's now a super team, the Falcons, with two, you know, exceptional Aussie players in there. Like, how are they going to go up against these?
04:32:35 Team's Elfish. It's just going to be super exciting to see and yeah, split two playoffs. I can't wait. I don't know about you Elfish. I'm keen.
04:32:43 I mean, I am part German, so I'm happy to see it in Germany. Can't complain about that one. So look, yeah, I mean, I'm keen to kind of see how the Apex South teams go again. I think they always do put on a pretty good show. You know, there has been some instances where teams I think have gone overseas and might be a little bit disappointed with how things have played out and they're going to get another crack at it. So I think that's what's important, you know, like you're not going to make it happen every single time, especially with that jump in.
04:33:10 ... ... ... ... ...
04:33:32 von den Apex-South-Region hat eine oder zwei internationalen Events, bevor sie wirklich starten, die Ball zu gehen. Ich meine, die Leute sagen, was über Moist? Und ich denke, wenn sie als Suteraikou gespielt haben, ja, die Roster-Changers sind. Aber wenn sie als Suteraikou haben, sie kamen zu der Final Lobby, aber sie haben nicht gemacht, was in der Final Lobby gemacht.
04:33:51 Es dauert ein bisschen Zeit, um sich zu diesem Level zu gewinnen, und vielleicht ein bisschen anders auszuladen, und das ganze Zeit. Ein paar Faktoren werden in das Thema, natürlich. Jetlag, etc. Es gibt viel zu denken, aber es ist gut zu sehen, aber es ist gut zu sehen, dass es multiple Attempts gibt, multiple Bites of the Cherry, weil das ist, glaube ich, das ist, dass du die Talents' und die Chance hast.
04:34:10 Elfish, that was so well put. I absolutely, incredibly agree. And, you know, as we sort of move into, you know, watching the different regions sort of solidify their spots, I just need to touch on it again. It's so exciting to see a fresh change of characters, a fresh meta going in, I guess, to playoffs. Like, we're so used to seeing the same compositions over and over again. So to be able to sit there and watch our teams on the live stage, you know, play these different compositions and just see if they have fun with it and see how it all flows.
04:34:39 This is exactly what we love about Apex Legends. So it's going to be awesome. But guys, we have found our seven teams heading over to the split two playoffs. It has been a hell of a split two. I do feel like it's gone incredibly quick, but you know what? It's been passionate nonetheless. So Gino, I don't know if you've got any final words for us today and how you felt over this split two, but I am just excited and blown away. That's easily how I'm going to put it.
04:35:09 Ja, look.
04:35:10 You talked about losing some of our biggest teams here in APAC South, and at times it's been a struggle to replace them, but it's awesome to see that every time that happens, someone seems to rise to the occasion. It's been legends here in Year 4. We're hoping that they can do that again come Split 2. But as you also said, it's really cool to get that fresh blood in there, right? And the Chinese players in the Chinese region have been doing better and better. It was really just Dreamfire there for a while.
04:35:39 um, sort of up at the top level, then, you know, we get them joined by MDYY and now, uh, LGD Gaming. And now, even above them, uh, you know, we've got another couple of teams showing that there is really a lot of depth in this region. Uh, and when we're sending seven teams over, uh, you know, or eight teams in Split One, more than we ever had before in ALGS, uh, depth is what we need here in Apex South. So, really hoping, uh, that all these players can show us what they're made of and keep pushing for even
04:36:08 hoher placements um come the split two playoffs in Mannheim
04:36:12 So a big thank you to everyone behind the scenes as always, Genome and Elfish. A massive thank you to you guys. You're always so inspired.
04:36:42 und passionate throughout everything. Und, of course, our pizza-eating man, Dax, we can't forget about him. He always brings the passion. But we will hopefully see you guys at Split Two Players. I know Gino will probably be over there, so, you know, you've got to see his face soon, you know what I'm saying? So we are going to end it right here, guys. But thank you so much for joining us here at the Longshot Production. It has been absolutely amazing, and we hope to see you guys soon. Catch you later.
