Einleitung in die ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Pro League Regional Finals EMEA

00:04:59

00:04:59 It's always an amazing day when the best of the best come together to battle it out. From around the world, in EMEA, whether it's London, Portugal.

00:05:07 Deutschland, alle hier haben einen Weg, durch diese 9 Wochen, in den Top 20 der besten Teams in der Welt in der ALGS. Jetzt, die Aufgabe ist noch etwas schwerer. Sie müssen wissen, wer die Top 8 sind, die zu finden, nach Deutschland in September sind, und zu einem der größten Partys in der ALGS. Wer will step up? Wer will fall short?

00:05:32 Well, we're about to find out. It is Regional Finals Match Point Sunday, and I can't wait to get it started with you. My name is Rain Day. I'm so glad to be here. Over last weekend, the split, and of course, this day, which is going to be very, very exciting, but I'm not alone. We've brought in, like we say, the stakes are higher. Well, we brought in a little bit more talent as well, but let's go to somebody who's been here last weekend with me as well. A wonderful day we've got ahead of us, Tiff. This is where the stakes are highest in the ALGS.

00:06:01 They really are. And honestly, I might have to replay you saying it's Matchpoint Sunday, baby, because that's going to be so much fun for at least the teams that are going to be locking their tickets into Germany, of course. But for the ones that are just on the edge or maybe need that win here under that Matchpoint condition to really secure that ticket for themselves, I wish you the very best luck. May all of those rotations come out in full swing and everything work out for you because, man, it's going to be a scary one out there.

00:06:29 Und wenn du nur aufhörstststststststststststststststststststststststststst.

00:06:43 Ja, es gibt nur acht Spots leften. Du kannst deine Ticket nach Deutschland spielen mit den Besten der Besten von überall auf der Welt für einen Grund. Und ich kann nicht warten, dass ihr hier auf der Desk, denn es wird eine Hecke für die Finale sein. Und wie Tiff gesagt hat, die Rotation werden immer in deinem Favoren. Und wir werden sehen, ob Amiahe kann wirklich punchen. Susanne Collins ist so happy right now. Sie hat die Ballade des Sonnenfahres.

00:07:05 und Wasser und ich weiß nicht, wie viele Ballads sie haben. Aber ich weiß noch eine Sache, wir haben die Ballad von Down Under heute. Wir hatten noch mehr Talent. Wir haben gesehen, wie APAC-Games gehen. Wir wollten ein Crazy Day, so wir haben jemanden von APAC-Games gehört, unser gut Freund, Gina. Willkommen zurück in den Broadcast Band. Happy to have you here on our Sunday.

00:07:23 Thank you. Yeah, I mean, we saw 16 teams on Matchpoint in APAC North. APAC South was a little bit shorter. We only got to seven games there. But you know what? I'm feeling greedy, man. I wanted more. So I'm back here today for the EMEA and the North American Matchpoint Finals. And I'm so keen to send the rest of our teams we're going to see at Mannheim, Germany. Well, here it is. Let me introduce it here because we've done the singles.

00:07:51 Wir haben 20 Teams. Sie haben 20 Teams gearbeitet. Da waren 30 Teams in Namiah. Und diese sind die Leute. Von Allianz, FAKids, Trojan, Exoclan, alle hier haben eine Geschichte, Tiff.

00:08:20 The last time I was on a Matchpoint Finals Sunday for Regional Finals, I'm going to go ahead and say it. Firebeavers won in the EMEA region. So I'm looking at Taskmaster under DMS. They have the capabilities of converting that. But not only that, Oirene and Nine Impulse locking in under the Aurora roster. Now, those are two teams that are almost in that must-win scenario, and I would love to see them do it today. Very.

00:08:43 Great overview of what we've got as you look at the teams, their coaches, their players. Let's dive into the stakes though a little bit deeper because two teams have already put themselves in a position to occupy two of the eight slots. That's Alliance and Gaming Gladiators. But FaZe Clan, Passion UA may be pretty close to it as well. Vicky Kitty though, everyone else in this top 10 and 20, they've got a chance.

00:09:07 Absolutely. With FaZe and Passion having 92, 90 points, they basically have punched their ticket in, but they still need to be able to at least show up for today for the Regional Finals. It's crazy to say that time has flown by so quick here, but looking all the way down at the gap between Passion and Trojan with 82 points, and then looking at the second page, you can tell that especially the teams from NIP all the way down to Eternal, there's a lot on the line here, so that way you also could be considered for the top eight or at least try to secure that dub in the Regional Finals, Reindeer.

Team-Analysen und Strategien für den Regional Final

00:09:35

00:09:35 Let's be honest, 21 points between DMS, who are sitting in 11, still out of qualification, and Eternal, who are 20th. So that would be like saying there's a chance Dumb and Dumber style with Jim Carrey. Maybe one in a million, but it's not that, it's one in 20. You've got to win, Genome. And here's a little bit of a deeper and actually very impressive look at some of these odds you put together. Yeah, look, real shout out to the guys from Reddit who put together the tool that allowed us to visualize this, their names down the bottom there.

00:10:02 Und ja, es gibt es eine gute Idee, weil man sieht, welche Teams sind in der 8th Position, die 8 Teams werden von dieser Region durchgeführt, haben eine Chance zu haben, eine wirklich gute Day-To-Day und vielleicht einfach nur auf den Punkt. Und wenn wir dann auf die Teams, die 5% sind, das ist, dass die einzige Möglichkeit, dass du durch den Matchpoint-Finals bist, um das Golden Ticket zu gehen.

00:10:29 A big shout out as well to Bereft13 and BoringCactus.

00:10:34 für uns das zusammenzubringen. So viel in die Community wirklich assiste mit diesen Storylines. Aber die Story hier, es spricht für sich. 14 Kills über die 2nd-Place-Kill-Leader, die seine Team-Mate ist, Unlucky. Und wir gehen zu einem anderen Team-Mate, in 3rd- und 4th-Place, Hinda und Henchman, mit Matapé und Zidane, die Top 5 von Free Agent Kids sind. Aber diese sind unsere Top 10 Individual-Performer. Es gibt nicht, aber, die Story des Teams.

00:11:03 You can have a team be greater than the sum of its parts. And Tiff, a team that was performing better than most expected and one of their earliest splits for some of their players in the Pro League ever has been Danish. But after last week, might be questioning whether they've kept their momentum or not heading into regional finals. Yeah, it was really good to hear from Young Hong Kong. Not only that, we learned...

00:11:27 Das ist ziemlich spannend, aber wir brauchen die ELECTRIC GAMEPLAY aus diesem Roster, mit Scherp und Fricks, wenn sie das Ticket in wollen. Jetzt habe ich eine Brief overview von der Match win. Sie sind in Downbeast auf Stormpoint. Sie sind für World's Edge geöffnet. Sie haben ihre same POI-pick throughout heute. Und wenn ich mit Young Hongkong gesprochen habe, die sie hatten...

00:11:51 He was talking about, yes, I'm feeling confident going into regional finals, but our goal is to focus on getting to zone and our rotations down pat. Because as you can see, after that initial match win, the rotations kind of went to shambles. They're just getting broken down and it's really tough. Immediately, once you get one knocked, it's very hard to hit that regain. You can see Young Hong Kong just on the Bangalore.

00:12:14 in the smokes, just getting chased down, which inevitably is going to happen. There's a lot of seers that are going to be prevalent in the mix, so you're not going to have a lot of chances to rat. And if your rotation goes awry, like I said at the top of the show, may all the small mistakes be non-existent for this roster today. They only had 21 points on that final match day with three eliminations, and 13 of those points came from that initial win on that down beast zone. And when you kind of go back and you look at

00:12:42 A lot of their historical performances, they've won four regular season games, right? So that only person that's outlying on that would be Gaming Gladiators with five overall wins. And they've been relatively split across their points or their eliminations per map. So I think they've got a really strong chance if those rotations go well for them today to win match point finals. But I don't know, Vicky, I know you were looking at some other teams.

00:13:05 Ja, es ist ein Team, das ist recht gut zu sagen, aber wenn es um Region Finals geht, kann man nicht auf die Spiele, besonders die Teams, die sich auf die Rampen aufzunehmen. Ich möchte über die Cinderella story, die Trojan ist. Diese Team kamen mit zwei Qualifizien, und sie kamen 3rd, hinter Danisch, als sie in der Pro-League qualifizieren. Jetzt sind sie in 5th Platz, mit 82 Punkte.

00:13:27 Und sie haben ihre beste Matchday-Performance auf Matchday 8, wo sie den ganzen Tag in 1st für Groups A&C gewonnen haben. Ein sehr guter Lobby, wie gesagt. Sie sprechen von Allianz und Gladiators. Nun, sie haben eine gewisse Konzistenz auf Stormpoint.

00:13:40 und World's Edge in placement and in kills. That's with them getting first place in game number one with 11 kills and then consistently making a statement, getting third, getting sixth, getting third, second, again, before, you know what, they rested up a little bit, they didn't have the best performance in that final game, but today, this is where it all matters here for Trojan. They want to squeeze up as many points as possible if they want to be one of the teams to not only achieve their dreams after coming to the qualifiers, but playing on the big stage where your nerves will absolutely be tested as a competitor. As you can see from the very beginning of...

00:14:10 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.

00:14:34 In this moment, I want to go to one of the heroes, or at least one of the more prominent figures in EMEA over the course of our ALGS. It's NIP and Natski. And Genome, I'll leave the question to you. What part of his hero's journey is he on? Is he on the downslope, or is this his chance to get back to the top?

00:14:51 That's a great question. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster, this split, hasn't it? I mean, their split was bookended by two 18th places, but on match day three, they walked away with the win. So look, Natsuki's definitely still got that dog in him, but...

00:15:04 Wenn wir über dieses Spiel denken, und besonders vorhin, es war eine ROUGH split, eine ROUGH LAST-MATCH-DAY. Natski mit den Riesen-Chachers in den Meta war, er war zu piloten die Refrigerator. Mal sehen uns, wie das für die Ninjas in Pajamas ging.

00:15:29 Ich bin zurück zum anderen. Ja, den Heid. F*** ihm auf den Heid.

00:15:55 Es sieht gut, es sieht gut. Es ist ein Team da. Es ist ein Team, ja. Wir müssen uns hier landen. Wir müssen uns jemanden treffen. Komm, wir müssen uns jemanden treffen. Ja, ja, ich bin ein. Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank 1! Bank

00:16:27 We need to hold our... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

00:16:54 Rough scenes there for NIP. Natsuki was not in a good place. You can see, I mean, once upon a time, Pathfinder had one of the hardest hitboxes to hit in the game, but that's just not the case anymore. We see him falling down first time and time again. And what does that mean for their chances today? It means they need to win, realistically. You can see here the mantra, Natsuki trying to bring that to life, trying to manifest it here with his tweet.

00:17:23 They have to win today, and they've put themselves in a good position for it with their POIs, but it's certainly a lot to ask to come out number one of these 20 great teams we've got here today. Well, great stories to follow along, and there's so many more. Those were three teams that we highlighted, but there's 17 others.

00:17:42 Which means anybody has a chance, if they win, to book their ticket to Mannheim and be the regional finals champion. However, much easier said than done. And just like we've got a team here on broadcast for you, we've also got a team who wasn't able to make it on broadcast, who has their thoughts on who's going to take home the crown.

00:18:01 My pick for the EMEA Regional Finals has to be Gaming Gladiators. So when it comes to EMEA, the team that I think has the best chance of winning Regional Finals for me has to be Gaming Gladiators. My pick for the weekend is going to be the Gaming Gladiators. And the biggest reason for that in my opinion is the fact that they're just so consistent. Whether that's finding themselves in top four positions consistently on days where they're having really good series or the fact that they're able to constantly close out matches to get those wins, sometimes in a back-to-back fashion.

00:18:28 On top of the fact that they got both Mills and Climatizer, they have excellent kills placement and points per game, only bested by the likes of Alliance. End of the day, Last Light, Lufka, they've shown the grind, they've been here before, and now have the chance to potentially take it all. And they have been...

00:18:45 Two teams, actually, who have separated themselves from the pack just a little bit so far this split. And it's going to be Allianz and GG. Now, obviously, number one and number two going into Regional Finals, but I just think that Allianz are going to edge it with their experience that they have in the Matchpoint format. The team that I think that's going to win the EMEA Regional Finals is Allianz. I know that's a cop-out answer.

00:19:14 in 1st place at the moment, but they will be playing out of Skyhook West, and the best POIs on World's Edge, but it does get to match point. Finding that victory is going to be important to have a good POI, and also they have Trident on Stormpoint, something they have tried and tested all season long to get Nopal alongside it, and they look like they really want it. They want to prove a point. I'm expecting an Alliance win. Do you guys remember that time that Kashera almost won split 1 playoffs in 2023?

00:19:40 Me too. I'm feeling good about it. I think the teams look good this split. They convert out of top fives pretty well. But I'm going with Go Next.

00:19:54 I love it, but I gotta give a shout out to Dia. Again, going against the grain, while all of our talent giving you some very well-educated choices of previous experience and what to expect here with Alliance and a lot of Gaming Gladiators taking the cake. It's gonna be very, very fun to see. And if you wanna watch all those storylines develop, see who wins, see how they win, well, then I know the place for you. It's Face It Watch. You can check out all of those rotations.

00:20:19 And check out the comms. Even if you're looking back on, well, what happened last week? You can see those VODs from those different POVs from teams through your choice of selection and follow along with your favorite IGLs, your favorite Fraggers, or maybe just listen to the comms of a team that's doing well and see what's making them tick. How's the emotional state? That matters in a game like Apex. If you're just like me, though, or some of our casters, why don't you throw that map screen on? That'll help you understand the rotations and how the game is played at a high level. So control it and watch it and face it launch.

00:20:51 Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank.

Formatänderungen und Teamstrategien in den Regional Finals

00:21:14

00:21:14 We are back at it again. This time with a regional final. I said it earlier, but where has the time gone? I feel like I blinked and the entire split two has just passed us. But with some awesome changes to really incorporate the consistency that some of these teams have had to deal with. I'm talking about POI jobs. I'm talking about midseason patches. And it's been nice to see how this has affected the way that some of these teams have approached. I want to put emphasis on the IGL and how they've had to approach some of these rotations.

00:21:44 Circle Pools, whether it be

00:21:45 Same circles that we've constantly been seeing or different circles that come towards these different areas that have changed mid-season. But this is regional finals, which means that we have match point format. And for those of you guys who are unfamiliar with match point format, a team needs to hit 50 points. And once they are at 50 points, they'll be able to then sit down at match point format, then get the win right after they hit those 50 points to be the first place winners for our regional finals. But nonetheless...

00:22:15 So, you know, even if we finish before six matches, we still got to go the entire distance, play all six matches to secure where our top eight squads are in Nehemiah Region. Yeah, a little bit of an interesting change we've had since year three of ALGS. It's just to give a little more consistency to the format and just make sure that, you know, if we have someone that runs away with it, like Reject Winity did in Apex North and Split One, for instance, the other teams still get a chance to show, you know, show their stuff and make sure that the

00:22:44 8 Teams hier in EMEA sind zu qualifizieren.

00:22:48 And that's also with the regional final teams. If we do finish before these six games, that's them stepping out of the lobby. So that would leave 19 teams in this lobby here too. But of course, that is to say if we do finish before six, because I feel like we have a pretty good distributed lobby here, Genome, for our top 20 squads that have made it into this regional final. We talk about giving Gladiators, landing over by Mill. Very heavy POI there, as they usually have a beacon. They could get a safe rotation, depending on where some of these edge circles have been pooling, all the way down to even NI.

00:23:18 Das bedeutet, dass wir das Team mit dem Spiel gewinnen und dem Spiel gewinnen sind. Das bedeutet, dass wir das Spiel gewinnen und das Spiel gewinnen sind.

00:23:47 Alliance is able to walk away with their second pick here, which as you can see was pick 21, but that means they got pick one over in World's Edge, which we'll see later on.

00:23:57 Und das ist sehr wichtig zu wissen. Das ändert sich viel für diese Teams, wenn es um ihre POIs zu finden, und was es möglich für unsere Last Picks hier ist, wie Outplayed, in der Last Play Spot für Stormpoint, bevor wir auf World's Edge transitionieren. Und es ist auch schön zu wissen, dass es Regional Finals ist, aside von den 50-pointen Threshold und den Dubs, dass wir alle zwei Spiele gewinnen sind. Also geht das Hand-in-Hand mit den Teams, die die Ärzte machen können, bevor diese Teams das Dubs nehmen.

00:24:25 Looking around the map here, Vicky, I mean, Ninjas in Pajamas was definitely one of the teams I wanted to highlight. A lot of people saying they were the winners, you know, in quotes, of this draft, considering the fact that they were further down that pick order, but they still managed to walk away with both Lightning Rod and Thermal, two strong POIs, two POIs that will favor their playstyle coming into the regional finals today.

00:24:51 We have also been able to incorporate this.

00:25:21 Ich glaube, es ist toll, es ist, wenn man sich die Komponenten mit den Pathfinder befindet. Die Fuse, zwei Legends, mit ihren Perks, können either eine Ring-Console oder eine Survey-Beacon oder eine Survey-Beacon haben. Es geht darum, wie diese Teams die Anwälte von diesen Perks haben. Wir beginnen für unsere erste Spiel hier in der Region Finals. Ich meine, wie cool ist es? Wie groß ist es, dass es die Diversität in der Meta hier ist, Vicky? Es ist toll. Ich meine, wenn du an die Stats,

00:25:50 für andere Finals, die haben bereits gespielt. Wir hatten mehr Team Compositions gespielt durch die Serie, als es da waren. Okay? Das hat nicht passiert für lange, lange Zeit. Especially in der Split, wenn es 100% pickrate mit Bangalore und Bloodhound war. Das neue Meta ist, ehrlich gesagt, eine der größten, lustigen und unterschiedlichen Metas wir haben in Apex Legends Competitiv in lange Zeit.

00:26:18 I love it, especially with the Fuse here too. Some teams feeling very confident being on that Fuse from the very beginning. Thinking about players like, you know, Bambino on the other side here. But now with Fuse being incorporated, the Pathfinder on top of it. I know Onset is having a ball, always seeing that Pathy. But also with the Grapple reset, we have to talk about why we're seeing more of these Legends come in, especially after that midseason patch. As we take a look at our first circle of the day. Possibly pulling over to that northern pylon side.

00:26:48 Ja, wir haben die Circle definitiv weitergegangen. Ich meine, würde es vielleicht zurückkommen zu Jurassic oder so? Ich weiß nicht. Ich denke, es ist eine gute Chance, dass das eine weitergekehrt weitergeht. Als Sie sehen, ExoClan, die in Jurassic sind nicht stehen, sie sind nicht da, sie sind nicht da, sie sind da und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab und ab.

Spielverlauf und Teamkämpfe auf Stormpoint

00:27:15

00:27:15 Gonna be huge here too for FaZe. Gonna be able to also have that assault pin right there. FaZe kids are gonna be shooting the spiders over to their left side too. With a lot more of these squads already making their way into that circle. Like Exo coming out of Jurassic. They had the ring console. They had a survey beacon. But first looking at Black Hand. Looking to try to take a fight already with the scan. Hierarcha taking some damage. So is Ichaku. They're gonna have to back away. They wanted to get the jump originally on this team here in command. I believe this is gonna be DMS. But DMS holding two different split angles.

00:27:43 It's an interesting place to run into each other. See, there's a few routes in and around Command Center means you don't necessarily have to take this fight early on in the game. You've got options, but it looks like the teams are going for it, just like Gaming Gladiators are getting straight into it here and picking up the first kill on Xenia.

00:28:05 All right, let's not waste any time here for Gaming Gladiators. We talked about the fact that they're going to be exiting out of Mill, and they've already been able to cut off players. Danish also trying to prioritize their rotate on a Trident, while Gaming Gladiators still get their hands dirty here on that south side of Mill. This is another PY, by the way, for this game, that they had a ring console and a survey beacon. So they wanted to take this early fight. They got that one pick. They left Jukes incredibly low, so now he's going to have to take advantage of popping that Phoenix kit, as you see right there. But Blast still trying to make sure he can see them since they have a Trident right in front of them.

00:28:35 Also working into Game & Gladiator's playstyle on playing more so by the edge of the circle and trying to clean up as many kills as possible.

00:28:42 Ja, ja, ja. Ich meine, Mill oft kann man such a fast-rotate POI. Es ist sehr fast zu lösen. Du kannst mit dem Triton spawnen. So, wenn sie wollen, ich bin sicher, dass sie ein bisschen weitergezogen sind. Aber als Sie sagen, dass sie sich um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

00:29:09 How more unpredictable everything is now. Back when all the same teams landed in all the same POIs, it was very easy to get into a routine, to get into that flow of knowing where everyone was moving around you. Those days are long gone, and it is a lot more hectic moving from A to B now on Stormpoint and World's Edge.

00:29:32 Especially with the inclusion of Evil Harvesters, right? You know that's going to start building up a pathway for a lot of these teams to prioritize. Just like we see a lot of teams already prioritizing, where they're predicting that end circle. Look at Navi coming in, another team flying in from the skies. Good rotation on that zipline, by the way, because that was exactly when that team had just landed from the evac tower. But there's a lot of places to coexist here in Pylon.

00:29:53 Es ist ein P.O.I. Es gibt die kleinen Enkampments auf drei Seiten, als auch die In-Side, das kann ein bisschen schwieriger sein werden. Und wie Sie sehen, Slayers versuchen sie zu setzen mit dem Wotzen, einer der besten Spieler für diese In-Side-Rooms zu halten, weil es so viele Doors gibt es so viele Avenues, man kann es nicht wirklich blockieren. Und wie Sie sehen, andere Teams versuchen sie zu usurpen ihre Position zu haben.

00:30:20 Also doesn't have the Jenny right here either just yet. Young Hong Kong in the feed is able to get a knock on Takaina. We know that they're actually sharing the other side of Pylon currently from where Exo is currently standing. But playing this a lot safer here too. Knowing how many other squads are within the vicinity. Max Dreyfee just trying to take a different angle onto Navi. Taffy is going to have to pop in that medkit here. But their babe is basically holding these two different angles while also splitting their attention to the team that's up on the high ground.

00:30:48 Das ist etwas, was du zu worry about. Na'vi, luckily für sie, haben die Mobi in ihren Händen. Sie werden das in den Händen getrennt, aber wir sehen, ob die anderen Teams die Augen in der Richtung starten. Ist es da going zu werden, zu viel Pressure, vielleicht für sie das zu machen? Matafe, wir haben die Smokes, zu versuchen, ihn in das zu helfen.

00:31:17 This Motherload is absolutely huge. Something that we've been seeing a lot too with the exploit on the evac tower into that Motherload. Look how big that is.

00:31:24 It is so ginormous. It's literally encapsulating the entirety south side of Pylon. Crazy to say. While we look on the other side, a team looking to take that first place dub and rocking the live find. It is Aurora and Oirein is incredibly low. They back away. They got jumped on. Now you have Kazak who's going to be able to put down the drone, but can they get the full reset with Nine Impulse also losing out on his shield?

00:31:48 Yeah, you can see there Karzak's already got up to red. You prioritise giving the, you know, the extra evo, the evo caches over to your lifeline so you can get that extra supply drop in and then, you know, you can chain that into a red armour. So that helps them out early on, but the rest of the team is on blue, right? So they are vulnerable. That's why you see them taking those first couple of hits.

00:32:12 Well, now Aurora.

00:32:37 are going to be able to now rotate through Launchpad's side right behind Blacklist. But look at the amount of Team Genome in the Pylon side. From the very beginning, we saw the fast rotations from a lot of our squads, and now Gaiman Gladiators wrapping around through Jurassic right behind another team. Yeah, as we can see, pulling very much on top of Pylon, so chances of it being Jurassic diminishing rapidly. You can also see that South Encampment out of Pylon not in in the next zone either.

00:33:04 Interesting that no one decided to play down there and bank on that one. I guess a lucky read or an informed read for any teams who might have been considering that as an option.

00:33:16 Ja, das ist ein guter Punkt, Vicky.

00:33:46 Survey Beacon available. Um, there's so many teams in Jurassic, though, that it'll be quite hard to hit them. Maybe, uh, if you've got, uh, the Smoke, that will be enough. Uh, you know, look, a Dome of Protection from a Gibby will be pretty good here right now, I can tell you that. But the thing is, once they hit those, even if they hit both of them, at Ring 3, usually that gives you quite a lot of direction. I honestly think if you hit that now, you're just gonna be like, well...

00:34:10 Guess we just gotta fight some teams and walk in, because there are very few spots to play available in Pylon as it stands.

00:34:18 Especially if you're coming from this side of the circle, right? Where you're gonna have to get through that choke where there's an evil harvester on the other side of the fence. And you basically only have that tree on the north side of Pylon to really take any cover and utilize the hill to get out of the line of sight of the other squads that will be on that low ground by Pylon. So Alliance trying to look to see if they can clear this entire side. But again, that's against teams like Trojan, Stay Healthy, Game and Gladiators who are already in that building here with other squads like Eternal who'd like to take their time to rotate into that next circle who...

00:34:47 They might not even have where that next circle is pulling to yet. Crucial information. I mean, yeah, there's a survey beacon up near them. I'm not sure if they already hit that or not. Anyway, we've got NIP over here down on the south side. They're gonna try and make their way through the eastern entrance to Pylon. Let's have a listen in with NIP for this rotation.

00:35:14 They moved up close, Sampi, by the way. They moved up to the fingers. There's only... You guys hold them out, okay? Get better position. I'm in a great position to hold them. I think it's only one team in the top. They're just rotating it open. It's open. I'm looking. I'm looking. I'm looking. Bang one back. 40. 40 on bang. Party 30. Party 40. I'm Qing. Party 30 again.

00:35:41 Bleu Armour in der Compound, es könnte eine Phase sein.

00:35:48 This is actually not bad. We have a lot of space here. This is good. Yeah. What are they doing, these guys? Listen, there's a drop coming down. Sippin' on me! Sippin' on me! Sippin' on me! Sippin' on me! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm looking, looking. I'm walking up to you, I'm walking up to you, walking up to you. I'm curing them. I'm curing them. I'm curing them. I'm nading them. I'm fucking them. Look how much of a great scan is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm backing out. I've got the pin. I need a bat. I need a bat.

00:36:17 Ich bin gut, ich bin gut, ich bin gut

00:36:43 Ich habe 1 HP hier, ich habe 1 HP hier, ich habe 1 HP hier. Ja, ja, ich bin einfach zu ihr. Wir sind gut, wir sind gut, wir sind gut. Ja, wir können, wenn du willst. Ja, wir können, wenn du willst. Ich will, wenn du willst. Ich will, wenn du willst. Ich will, wenn du willst. Ich will, wenn du willst. Ich will, wenn du willst. Ich will, wenn du willst.

00:37:00 You can see, considering options there for the ninjas, they're not within the next zone yet. So they're actually going to pop an evac and see if they can find somewhere to slide in. It will move to the north of Pylon, actually kind of in between both of those little compounds. So I don't know if they're going to be able to find some space. I think there's like a little tree that you can kind of hide behind there. But until later, there's still going to be teams with angles on them.

00:37:27 Ja, es wird schwierig sein, wie wir schon vorher schon gesehen haben. Es gibt so viele Teams bereits in Pylon, wenn ihr wollt, die Heilmere E-Vac geht, aber sie haben nicht zu tun, sie sind einfach zu gehen, aber sie haben nicht zu tun, sie sind einfach zu gehen, wo DMs versucht, zu 3rd partyt sie zu machen. Also hat es nicht zu stoppen. Die Trees aufbauen, das Seer ult hat sich in, die Exhibit ist, wo alle die Spieler jetzt sind, mit Geiming Gladiators zu gehen, mit Geiming Gladiators zu gehen, jetzt cut sie auf, jetzt die Ring 3 ist geschlossen.

00:37:55 They have to be able to repel this attack here by Alliance. And they've got about 40 seconds to do it. Vicky, they can move slightly more up and still stay on this side of the fence. But, you know, this fight has to happen sooner or later. I don't think Alliance have another option out of this way. And, you know, just as soon as they do that, you're going to have other teams like Eternal Trojan Blacklist moving up on the north side.

00:38:20 Das ist was ich eigentlich afraid of, hier, auch, weil Allianz war gerade um Gaming Gladiators. Jetzt sind sie gezwungen, aber Catwall hat sich gezwungen, und Allianz versucht, das Isolated Fight zu machen. Sie bekommen das erste Knochen hier von Affect.

00:38:32 They traded, though, as Effect had overextended just a little bit. Lefka's the only one with some shields. Light needs some help. But coming out of the circle, you're feeling the pressure before the third party comes in from Blacklist. Eternal are wrapped up on the other side of Alliance. And they go down. Look at everybody dropping like flies. Haki is the only one alive. But is he built different here? We have to reload both the Nemesis and Havoc. There's only so much you can do when Blacklist, as a full three-stack, was still alive.

00:39:02 Und Sie sehen hier, NIP haben versucht, diese Kompound aus dem DMS zu nehmen. Sie haben es tatsächlich gemacht. Sie haben die Mobi, aber zu bringen Nasky zurück in. Sie sehen, wir haben es nicht mehr auf den Partei, hier auf Stormpoint.

00:39:22 Es ist schwer zu sehen, mit vielen Teams zu haben, die E-Vac Tower zu haben, die Fuse als Legend Composition zu rocken mit. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie werden, dass sie ein Miracles machen können, denn jetzt N.I.P. rocken als Duell mit Cybercats.

00:39:37 ... ... ... ...

00:40:03 Ja, aber was ist der Pylon, in diesem Fall, in diesem Fall, in diesem Fall? Ja, aber was ist der Pylon, in diesem Fall, in diesem Fall, in diesem Fall? Er muss sich mit seinen Teammaten bewegen, er muss sich mit seinen Teammaten machen. Ich meine, wie gut das war. Was?

00:40:22 They've got the Gold Knock. Do they actually get the reset in time? No, they only get time to bring one member back in. And ANC Outplayed, who's sitting in the compound in front of them, should easily be able to pick up these kills.

00:40:35 And that's why fighting here from the direction of this side of the circle is so risky. You could always expect the team to be holding down that northern compound. It was OP waiting for Trojan here as he tried to take a different angle. But right behind OP is Danish. They gotta split their attention to the teams that have been holding the very top of Pylon Phase. Since this is their POI, Trojan get eliminated with 11 squads left. And now OP have cleared this entire north side of the circle.

Endgame-Strategien und Cybercats' Überraschungssieg

00:41:00

00:41:00 All right, Circle closes in. Teams within Pylon are actually going to be very safe. They should just be able to leapfrog and keep moving their way through the buildings because the next Circle, Vicky, actually has a lot of the middle of Pylon in it. The final Circle will be closing just outside where that main building is here, actually. So the high ground where FaZe, the team who has been landing here...

00:41:26 die Pylon sind sehr sicher. Das Spiel hat sich schon immer gegründet. Aber es ist ein bisschen schwierig mit den Teams, die hier sind von Anfang an, die nicht einen Evo Harvester haben, um die Evo Schilden zu machen. Die Evo Schilden können mit Endgame und FAKs arbeiten. Aber das ist auch so, dass sie die vollen Evo Schilden haben.

00:41:49 Yeah, it's a tricky trade-off, isn't it? I mean, you know, they've made it into the top 11 squads now. Can they push that a little bit further for a few more placement points? FaZe, I'd say their position is a little bit different because they have their high ground. Their angles on so many other teams around mean that they don't need the Evo Harvesters as much. They should, I say should, be able to get to Purples just by poking and prodding and doing the damage from up there. You know, assuming that they brought enough ammo with them.

00:42:18 Und die Energie Ammo, die wir gesehen haben, von unten. Cybercats, die Team Rocking the Gibby, die nur in der Lobby, Rocking the Gibby. Cybercats, die immer immer das zu uns, hier, Genome. Und mit der Bloodhound hier, auch. Sie haben eine Moby bereit zu gehen, nur in case sie versuchen, auf den zweiten Floor zu gehen.

00:42:35 Ja, Danish now pushing in for the kill. This could be such an important fight here. ANC outplayed.

00:43:01 If they had, you know, just had it gone the other way, honestly, could have been their game to lose. Danish, I'm surprised they are going a little bit further. Is it because, you know, they can't see them in the Seerall? Is it because they just want to hold this spot? I guess, yeah, now they've fully pushed out. ANC outplayed. Why not just hold under the bridge? This is a fantastic spot for them. You know, other teams sort of trying to come in on the other side, like Ninjas in Pajamas. They've gone down now.

00:43:26 They tried to play it out with two. I actually heard their coach, Don, saying this week, I don't want you to, guys. I want you to hold three evacs and not use mobis. And that might be coming back to hurt them right now because, you know, they won that fight cleanly and then didn't have a mobi to reset.

00:43:44 Das ist genau das Problem.

00:44:06 Ja, und da we go.

00:44:31 Es ist sehr schwer, um, um, zu resupplyern, wenn du da an der Oberfläche bist. Sie haben dann auch eine Kare-Package gewonnen, so vielleicht wird das von ihnen helfen.

00:44:45 We absolutely take those here to play it off with some cover here because they know that there's a team right next to them cyber cats on the other side Mexico to sending out the spikes from the catalyst But while they coexist and the Gibby all has been called down It's raining from above phase do not get in that line of sight and now the opportunity to close in the gap here stay healthy They get eliminated our last four squads left while Danish still goes uncontested on this north side

00:45:10 All right, Faze have moved from one high ground to another. Is this enough for them to pressure the teams below them or do Danish, considering the fact that they're so split from all of the other teams and out of all of this chaos, do they have the better position?

00:45:28 This is so crazy here looking at Dennis, but FaZe Clan only down to one. It looks like Cybercats with Khalib and the Gibby Bubble allows them to reset. Ranches, is it going to be able to pop the medkit here? Longi, the only one healthy. They got the knock originally. They got two on the other side, but they have to watch on the other side of this cat wall too. They're trying to get the reset here, trying to get all the KP that they need because Cybercats is one of the teams that need to get first place today if they want a shot at making it into split two playoffs.

00:45:56 Well, it's a big start for them. Cutting off the other teams and being able to take the isolated fight there with the Gibby Ball was huge for their chances, but now it's getting even harder. Danish looking better and better.

00:46:07 Faze is still alive in the circle. Look at Artic who swipes down and swings on young Hong Kong. Artic is still alive. He's playing off the low ground, the last one alive. They drop down on him and he cannot clutch at Cybercats. When all the odds were against them, they start off strong, taking game number one on Storm Point. No way! That is a crazy position from the Cybercats to win that four. I mean, okay, look.

00:46:36 Das...

00:46:53 Das war so perfekt. Das war so großartig. Das war so großartig. Das war so großartig. Das war so großartig.

00:47:22 Cybercats, that need those points more than FaZe, since we, again, considering FaZe and where they're standing with their points, basically, especially with that KP locking in their ticket. But Cybercats with the dub to start off the day was not what I was expecting, Gino. No, it's going to be moving them closer to match point. I mean, I feel like what we've seen from Gibraltar compositions in recent times is it's hard for them to get to the endgame. They have, you know, not as much...

00:47:47 in other situations throughout the mid-game. But once you get to the endgame, my lord, are they strong. The defensive bombardment, as good as ever. I didn't quite catch where they used that in all the chaos there, but any of those teams who were coming out from underneath the building would have been absolutely slaughtered by it. Maybe they used it to open up the fight on the high ground where the bubble went down. Maybe they used it to push Danish out from their great spot behind. Yeah, I'd love to get that information.

00:48:17 at some point, but you just know that that alt was coming in clutch there in those end circles.

00:48:23 Can't wait to see how much KP they were also able to scoop up, because utilizing that bombardment, like you say, when the circle was closing in the way that it was, when everybody was forced to funnel out, and then also hearing the fight that was happening on the north side out in the open with Danish, and then FaZe being on the opposite end of them when they had already used the Gibby Bubble, it was just huge space created as we take a look at the match results. They finished with AKP on top of the dub, with FaZe right behind them, AKP too. Pretty heavily kill-oriented here, even looking all the way down to 9.

00:48:52 All he was 6kp.

00:48:54 17 for FaZe, man, that is one where you're definitely blessing RNGesus. I mean, like, that circle was delivered to them on a platter, and, you know, they didn't win, but look, 17 points, you absolutely take that any day of the week. But yeah, Na'Vi picking up the 6kp there is a solid effort from them as well. Remember, we don't get advanced standing points in this anymore, Vicky. That's because the teams are now advantaged by where

00:49:23 Sie sind in der Seed-PoI-Draft.

Diskussion über Teamstrategien und Stormpoint-Analyse

00:49:46

00:49:46 Yeah, I mean, it's an interesting discussion, right? The reason why Don said that was because they are relying so much on that Fuse ult that they want to guarantee having those Evac Towers to enable the widespread of the Motherload, but obviously it comes at a cost. It does, and that was just game number one on Stormpoint. We got one more game to go on Stormpoint before we transition onto World Edge. Don't go anymore. That's going to be on the other side of this break.

00:51:45 is the official PC and monitor partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

00:51:58 Apex Legends Global Series. We got EMEA Regional Finals and CyberCats. Well, they just wrapped up a massive victory. And Genome, we had to give Vicky a break here because I really wanted to jump in on the action and see what's going to happen for the second map of Stormpoint. Yeah, look, anything. That's my guess. I mean, that was such a fun first game in the way that it played out. I mean, the sort of cascading waterfall as teams trickled down from the top of...

00:52:26 Ja, sie wirklich waren. Und ich dachte, dass die andere Seite für den anderen Seite ein bisschen einfacher war. Ich meine, du sagst in der Chat, dass Dänisch in so eine gute Position ist. Ja, sie wirklich waren. Und ich dachte, okay, look, sie sind aus der ganzen Endgame-Games-Games-Games. Und ich war wirklich worried.

00:52:42 In terms of wrapping up those eliminations, that was going to be one of their biggest issues, right? You think back to the prior matchday, they did get a win, but they only had one Elam. It was a final kill, but for Cybercats to really just drop on and use the Gibby to their favor, now that was their first ever Stormpoint win, Genome. They've only won one map, and it was a World Edge.

00:53:05 Well, hopefully that's not their only win for today, because as we said, you know, they need that match point win to take this out, which means, yeah, it can't be the only one. They have to use this as a springboard for their confidence, for their play for the rest of the day to come back and do it again once they're 50 plus.

00:53:23 Ja, das ist der Weg zu machen. Aber für heute ist es 20 aus 50. Wir sind nur die halbewegung. Aber viele Teams, die bereits geholfen haben, für Deutschland, können zu dieser Threshold schnell, wie wir gesehen haben, in generell. Und vielleicht nur die Chancen für die Majorität unserer Teams, die wir in zwei Pläuern haben. Aber genug über das, Leute, wir haben mehr Stormpoint. Und ehrlich gesagt, vielleicht Pylons ist nicht dein Endgame. Vielleicht wollen wir etwas ein bisschen North sehen. Viele Teams sind einfach nur für...

00:53:52 Oh, dude, I've been thinking about it, honestly.

00:54:14 Well, maybe not in your region, the ping might hurt me a little bit. Actually, no, I've heard high ping's an advantage, so maybe we'll be fine. I heard Canada's nice, you know, maybe follow in some of the footsteps, maybe take a little vacation. I mean, look, I'm here on the cast, you know, I'm already one foot over. I'll take what I can get, but for now, guys, match number two, and I am just itching to see where that circle is going to pull.

00:54:43 Okay.

00:55:12 But Diaz is going to be in full shambles when he realizes that Go Next was his pick. But Aurora understands what they need to do. And they're no stranger to these hyper-aggressive plays off drop. The Oiren, not an Impulse Kazak. Oiren, though, kind of going in with the Pathfinder. A lot of people using this as that mobility pick. But just as easy as they got here, it's like they're already siding. Yeah, this wasn't good. You got Kai from Go Next up on the catwalk. They're ready to hit that suppressive fire and just evict them on out. Yeah, because if it's not...

00:55:40 really decisive quick victory you don't really want to let it drag on in in these kind of situations because it really is just you know it's relying a lot on the element of surprise in one of those uh you know early early uh advances because

00:55:56 The POI draft system, it's still pretty fresh, right? There's still a lot that people are sort of tinkering with and working out. We saw in Apex South, there's a team called Grape Soda who were using this to their advantage. You know, they'd land South Siphon and then they'd use the flight path to the max to go and fight Tree straight away and try and grab early KP. So really cool to see this popping up in more and more situations because I know there's a lot of fans out there who miss those contests, Tiff. I'm one of them. I am a fan.

00:56:24 That also misses it because you think back to land where you had the elevate. You've got the nasty contest. Then you had the hard decky moments over at Seto. Regardless, we'll sure find some fun stuff for now. But Aurora has moved back to Devastated Coast. They've got that survey beacon and bring console there. But a lot of our teams, since we didn't really get to talk about it with that circle pulling towards that Cascade Falls, Exo is going to be one of those stellar teams that has such familiarity with this space.

00:56:50 Yep, and nice and early are they into that spot. With Watson, that's exactly where you want to be. It just means that, you know, if you walk in here, you don't maybe have as many cells, as many bats as you might hope. You know, having to look through their backpacks here, they've got an okay amount, but they're still on white armor. But luckily, the interception pylon is something that can allow you to do a lot of poke damage and not have to worry about your shield economy quite as much.

00:57:19 Yeah, you can see right there, just locking in that level 2 Evo. Passion UA is going to move into that building just across from K-Swini and ExoClan. Now, we do see a lot of the fuses in play for the MIA region, and this is where it's going to be really interesting, right? Especially if you don't have Watts and you're not getting those pylons up. Imagine all the knuckle clusters just coming through the most fine, like, cracks on the walls. It's a nuisance.

00:57:44 Yeah, you can sneak him in there sometimes. Sometimes you'll see people play on the buildings and just be looking for that one very specific angle to get a couple of bullets in through the roof in Market in Cascades. It can be a little bit troublesome sometimes.

00:58:00 I do like Troublesome, though. Atlas, right there, kind of still on the outside looking in. But for the majority of our teams, they've already rotated on in. But you've got this mountain lift here, and we've seen Yuchako, Hiarka, JMW kind of get into the mix early on in map number one. But they're definitely going to want to make a big play for match number two, not necessarily get that leaderboard ahead of them, especially coming in with only three points. But here, from a gatekeeping perspective, looking for a nice opening on the team just above them.

00:58:30 Ja, das wird Eternals in die Kommand-Center sein. Nein, es ist wirklich noch nicht so weit gekommen, aber wir werden sehen Gonecht und Aurora. Obviamente sie...

00:58:41 Hatte ihre Rotate delayed a little bit by that early Skirmish. And, you know, Aurora probably doesn't mind that too much, right? That, you know, they're very happy with that lackadaisical sort of playstyle, taking their time, hitting the Evo Harvesters, you know, using the Tridents to just bum around and find as many objectives as they can before they pull up into the zone a lot later than most of these teams.

Aktionen und Teamauseinandersetzungen im Spiel

00:59:06

00:59:06 But that's a very typical strat that we've witnessed from Aurora doing that, but more on that later, because Navi is kind of in the midst of not only doing Prowlers, but we've got some action coming on in. So we're going to throw the evac tower, get the Motherload in, and start getting some information on where that team is outlined. You can see Henchmen likely took the brunt of the damage, forcing Matafe and Kinda to hit the Disengage.

00:59:28 Yeah, they're hitting the turbo button as well by the looks of it. Both teams, this is, well, we need to link some car chase music. We've got the Michael Bay's green shake going on here as a bang to stun us as well. Yeah, players are there picking up one elimination on the henchmen and hopefully Na'Vi can hit the regain. Now, this is going to be pretty typical of...

00:59:50 Allianz still lurking amongst the mill, but a couple isolated vices. Your big frag leaderboard of the day is going to be effective. He goes down first. That's going to make things really tough for this squad. Immediately pops the Motherload there just to try and buy a little bit of space to get that res off. I think they're going to make it. There you go. Allianz back in, but Harkis has to pull out for the bat. This could be hard when his teammates are so low on health.

01:00:15 I mean, players, they weren't done with just Navi. They kind of go straight north and run right into Alliance. One way or another, they are going to end up fighting their way out. But hopefully Effect can get back to full health. Only a few more seconds left on that medkit. And we'll likely look for angles. Now, I'm curious because this is something they do, right, Genome? They come out to Mill. They wait and they play for that next ring console after the circle closes.

01:00:38 Thankfully, you know, that perk upgrade there for Fuse to allow him access to the Ring Console, bringing him all into the craziness. Yeah, I mean, Ringmaster will help them out with that one, but, you know, they have to deal with players first here, and you can see that they're not necessarily willing to give up this space. They've even managed to get the first down onto Hackers here. Let's see if Unlucky can turn the tides with some of this Ordnance. Ooh, Hackers down, okay.

01:01:04 Das war Pixel Perfect!

01:01:32 Oh my god.

01:01:45 I'm in shock. I'm in awe. That was incredible. Not just the medkit timing, but the whole clutch. The whole sequence. Was that a 1v2? Was that a 1v3? That was amazing.

01:02:04 Unlucky vs. The World, all right. Now we're looking for a full regain for Alliance. Maybe they can grab banners, find a respawn, but we'll see. Turn your attention over to that Command Center, where we saw a lot of teams already getting there early, and with more in particular, the way things have been pulling, it kind of centers up, right? But for Ninjas in Pajamas, we've got to get through this, and Eternal was the last team we saw here kind of being watched by Blacklist. Yeah, three teams currently occupying the inside of Command Center.

01:02:33 Ninjas don't have this all to themselves. It's not necessarily going to be a clean fight. Lots of knuckle clusters. Just a bit of a delaying tactic for the moment. And Blacklist have backed out, so maybe they can get a little...

01:02:51 A little clean effort against Eternal here. No, it looks like Eternal might be going out the other way. Ninja's Pajama's just scaring everyone off here. Look, I mean, they're very scary in general, right? You got Natsuki who's kind of put the Pathfinder to bed, locked back in on Bangalore. And I like this for them, right? Especially with everything that we saw in their final matchday play. It was just...

01:03:14 Not what they were wanting to see. And with a 7.2% chance on that Monte Carlo method of them being able to qualify to Germany, I just personally could not imagine a LAN without this team. I know. It is hard. I mean, Natsuki's such a massive personality and it feels like he really does take up a lot of space every time we're at LAN just because of, you know, how entertaining he is to watch. But...

01:03:39 Well, you've got to put in the hard work to get there, and it has been a rough and tumble split for these guys so far. I like this position from them. They're playing for this ring console. It'll be just outside the zone, but if they can protect this space, and Aethernal and Blacklist constantly are looking to come back in, and I think they want the same thing. Nasky, we saw how many times in that montage earlier on he went down first today. He can't keep doing that.

01:04:08 No, he really can't. And honestly, that double time just gives him the extra boost to get away. Throws down the smoke, starts regenning on that health, albeit minimally. But showing that presence just even by that second, Eternal's not done, right? They're still lurking amongst this. And with my Seer here on the Seer, kind of making sure that we've got our passive in check, ready to connect that focus of attention. Because once you stun up that Bangalore or Fuse, like you just freeze that ability of smokes and Knuckle Clusters, which makes...

01:04:38 Leing Siege into Command Center so much easier. Yeah, if they can hit that, it might be the go button. But, you know, with two out of those three teams, Blacklist, they've only got the Bloodhound. They don't have the CS, so it's an active scan, not a passive one. But there is a lot of information just being exchanged between these three teams as they try and push them back and make sure that they have the safety to hit that ring console when they want to.

01:05:05 Oh, okay. So Ninjas in Pajamas are going to be focusing straight onto that Blacklist international roster. You can see a nearby Survey Beacon Scan come through. I just don't know if we're going to be able to hit this ring console. Unless Eternal and Blacklist just decide, you know, we're done and out. But Ninjas in Pajamas, we've definitely left that command center. We've got an evac tag.

01:05:28 Das ist einfach schon vorhanden. Aber wie klein das Circle ist, Indoor Cascades, mit nicht viel Platz und viel Platz und viel Platz mit gutem Begründung, das Late Rotation ist, dass du dein Weg hast. Ja, es ist gut und es ist gut, Tiff. Es ist gut, weil wenn sie das nächste Spiel gegen Blacklist International gewinnen, sie haben einen tollen Weg in die Zone. Sie können einfach nur auf den Topf der Waterfall hier.

01:05:55 And they'll just be able to keep going. They'll be in an awesome spot. But, obviously, it's a little bit harder to do that. If they had gone the other way, where Eternal was, it would have been a slightly easier walk-in, less teams pressuring them, and less time pressure in which to do that.

01:06:11 Ja, aber du musst einfach durch diese Blacklist-International-Roster. Und look at Zayn hier, auf der Seite der Seite. Er sieht, dass sie ein Angles machen und vielleicht auch ein Spiel aus dem. Es ist herausgefunden, aber dann wird die E-Vac-Tower runtergefallen. Hier kommt die Motherlode. Wir werden sozusagen das Informationen auf dem Team bekommen, das wird, dass Natski und Amphi kommen, um die anderen Seite zu kommen. Als Zayn wird sie in der Seite, ein bisschen Hardcore Parkour auf dem Roof. Ja, ich liebe es, dass er seine eigene Motherlode hat.

01:06:41 Und ihr könnt sehen, dass er das Full Body Scans auf den anderen Team ist. So helpful, so important. Und das ist warum diese Motherlode und diese Legend und diese Alt-Combination ist so impactful in der aktuellen Meta.

01:06:57 All right, Natsuki, looking for angles down below, but that Watson is going to make things really difficult to push. Natsuki, though, is just going to keep on investing that. The swing comes in. He does enough damage. Hopefully, Amphi and Zane can capitalize on it. Can we get a knock here? Not yet. They chased him down the stairs, so they've got to be quick. Navi is on the other side of this. Ninjas in pajamas may have waited too long, even if they get the fight win.

01:07:26 Das war ein ganzes Verzweck. J.M.W. ist jetzt für Blacklist International und Navi ist jetzt nach Metafe. Wir waren nicht able, dass Henchmanns Banner von der initialen Zusammenarbeit ist.

01:07:40 Aber für heute ist es ein sehr einfacheseseseseseseseseses. Du musst nur auf den J.M.W., und da ist es. Nicht nur die Ninjas in Pajamas fallen, aber auch Blacklist International. Du kannst das, wenn du Nabi kommst hier als ein zwei-maner. Es ist sehr schwer zu gewinnen, gegen eine voll-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-te

Strategische Wendungen und Teamkämpfe

01:08:04

01:08:04 Pulling up on the other side of this. Oh, they actually get the knock and the full kill onto Bambino there. That's the way to do it. Kind of opens things up with a well-placed frag grenade. Cleans up the full, brings it to a 2v2. But a lot of teams, they are getting the signal flares of what is happening. And a team that can definitely play spoiler, that's pretty much going to Germany, is going to be that phase roster. We just lost ANC outplayed in Danish elsewhere. And we could be looking to lose Navi.

01:08:32 Getting collapsed upon now. Both sides, they have to worry about at the same time phase. Can they hear the bullets ringing out? As you can see, oh, Gaming Gladiator is also taking some losses here. Just some stray shots coming out from Cynetic.

01:08:52 I think that's actually a good idea, though. It should focus Gaming Gladiators on the reset and maybe say, okay, cool. But they still need to defend this area anyways, because from that Northeastern side of things, all of these teams that are...

01:09:05 Hier auf der Rock sind die größte Threat. Aber was Faze macht, ist push Nobby in die Eternal-Roster, die Klinge up Nobby und Stifle ihre Journey hier in Map No. 2. Faze, continuing auf das Wrap, might run straight into Eternal, aber some of our other squads that are looking to hit or rotate, it's gonna be Alliance, and I'd love to hear from them. Let's jump into a Listen-In.

01:09:27 Das ist der letzte Mal.

01:09:51 Okay, I'm ulti left. I'm batting. I'm batting too. Enemy, enemy!

01:10:12 We're chilling, we're chilling. My Bengals coming down. I'm nating them. Crack, crack, crack. So much damage. Yes. So much damage. Take angles, guys. Take angles. Shoot them, shoot them. Just shoot them. Like, we're fighting you. Just shoot them down. Yeah, no, no, no. Last guy, one. 20. He got a battle. He got a battle. He got a battle. Okay, I'm batting, I'm batting, I'm batting. All dead, all dead. Killing. Someone just left. Yeah, listen. He just left one of us. Yeah, I'm playing up a bit. They're all now left, by the way. Can we take an angle? Angle it.

01:10:42 Ich habe so viele Bats. Ruf, Ruf, Ruf, careful.

01:11:04 Ich glaube nicht, dass ich viel zu tun habe. Ich habe schon gesehen. Oh, Fultiles, ich bin ein Typ aus der Öffnung. Ich bin ein Typ aus der Öffnung, auf der Öffnung. Wir spielen für die Hände, auf der Seite. Already? Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein. Wir haben diese Richtung auf der Ferie, und dann spielen wir für die Seite, okay? Okay. Ich denke, Sie spielen erst mal. Sie sind ein Typ aus der Seite. Okay. Outside, Wind. Outside, Wind. Okay. Outside, oder Ruf? Wenn wir Killed Ruf, können wir sitzen. Ich kann wirklich.

01:11:29 We want Rufa outside. Rufa outside. I might gonna ult these guys. Yeah, you need to get to the corner, you should to see them. 140, 140, come on! I'm popping two, I'm popping two, I'm popping two, I'm gonna have my Bengals. Alright, I'm walking up now, I'm walking up now. Yeah, I'm coming. I can sip, I can sip. Alright, Goldnock. I can sip up against. Let's come to me up, okay? No smokes, no smokes. Okay, I'll take a sip though. Come to me.

01:11:56 Ich habe nicht die Ratser. Die Ratser sind weg. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind für mich, okay? Ja, sie sind Rufangler. Rufangler 3. Ja, ich bin Rufangler.

01:12:08 All right, well, we lost the majority of our teams in this match, but one thing that's been consistent is alliances

01:12:38 Utter domination. Hack is there with the control on that IGL, making such good comms, and they're just picking up even more eliminations, because there goes FaZe Clan. Yeah, quite a few of them at the hands of Alliance, and you can see, unlucky, was that eight kills as the kill leader right now in this game? They are just...

01:12:58 ...dorming through this one. They said they wanted to play for the roof. Obviously, that's a little bit hard. As you can see, with a Watson pylon up the top here, that means Passion U.A., don't have to worry about the Rolling Thunder coming through. Doesn't matter how many Alt Excels you pop, you will be safe from that. Regardless, they've navigated their way through this game magnificently well.

01:13:21 Yeah, Passion Ua, anytime you see Artie, they're kind of locking in the Watson. They are so amazing.

01:13:28 playing with this Legend comp. It's just very viable for them. So to lock down the roof, all the fences appropriately placed, and you just know, even though Alliance wanted to take this, there's no way that you're gonna be able to knock this roster and then inevitably zip on up. Now, we just have to wait and play patiently to make sure that that drop down, when this zone inevitably closes, you get down there in the right spot. We saw Cybercats kind of do it over there and pile on in map number one.

01:13:55 Can they recreate it? Yeah, I mean, Evac Tower is probably the only way you could even possibly think about challenging them up there. But I don't think it's going to happen. I think Alliance is just going to have to try and, you know, cut off as many angles as they can. They need to be very judicious with their smokes. And as you can see, they pop both of them straight away trying to go for the market roof. Oh, they just make it. That Zipline Zen perk coming in so handy.

01:14:22 Oh, oh.

01:14:42 für Alliance, so Passion UA is definitely going to be hitting them hard with a little bit of punishment for taking out their IGL. Unlucky, we saw a clutch once, but I don't know if we're going to be able to do that here. One HP and a Dream, and I hear the shields cracking. Can we keep it alive? Literally just trying to pop some shields, helps to stay alive to this Rolling Thunder. He pops down, he's the only one still left alive on his team. Oh my god, there's no way he can do this, right?

01:15:09 Oh, aber Aurora mit Kanzak auf der Lifeline. Hold up. Do we see a Clutch hier, Gino? Do we? Do we see it fly? Yeah, another time. The Knuckle Clutch is popping up. Oh my God, he actually wins it. Unlucky? I mean, what is this?

01:15:29 Ich habe das erste Mal gesehen, weil nicht nur die Clutch ist, die in-zone ist, sondern auch die meisten beeinflussten Med-Kits. Und wenn du es wiederholst und die Knuckle-Cluster machen willst, Unlucky, und Fuse, ich meine, ich liebe es. Das ist ein Firm Handshake. Ich liebe es.

01:15:48 Ich meine, wenn die anderen zwei auf den Ruf waren, ich dachte, oh, sie hat Goldnocks, vielleicht wird das für einen extra second sein, um ein Kp oder ein Kp oder ein Kp oder ein Kp oder ein Kp. Ich war nicht erwartet, dass er den ganzen Kp aus und ja, wie du schon erwähnt, ging all die zurück zu dem 1-Tick medkit. Ich meine, du kannst die zu pingern manchmal, auf das, oder? Ja.

01:16:13 and your ping's a little bit higher than you're used to, you will, like, straight up go down. That was an incredible sequence from Alliance. They deserve that win so much. Oh, yeah. I mean, for real. And we had people that predicted them. I mean, we never threw our predictions out, Gina. I stayed mums. I was like, I am not going to give any kind of predictions because usually it ends up being a curse if I say something. I was writing teams' names down in my notebook, and then I was like, all of these teams are dead. Is this an actual death note? Should I be worried?

01:16:41 Das ist nicht so gut. So, egal. Ja, look, ich habe definitiv nicht gekostet, Kursst, uh, nur noch. Das war, das war eine unglaubliche Idee. Ich bin wirklich, wirklich froh, zu sehen, wie viele Punkte sie eigentlich endet auf, um, nach all of das. Ich meine, wow, das Loss Sequenz, als auch, you know.

01:16:58 I guess the other teams were just running and butting ahead so much that, you know, Unlucky managed to just avoid their attention until the last moment. And then you saw the Knuckle Cluster just going to town behind that knockdown shield. Oh my God.

01:17:15 28 points Genome, 28, 16 eliminations. And then Trojan, who are playing underneath Alliance towards the end there in Cascade. Yes, they had great positioning, but unfortunately were only able to grab two eliminations, bringing them to 11. Now, Aurora, they were just on the inside of Alliance before some of those final zones, and they had to make a similar call on deciding on where they wanted to rotate. You heard Alliance because we were in them with the listen-in.

01:17:42 Do we go Roof? Do we play the right of Ferris wheel? Well, Roof was pretty much really tough to get to, so they hang towards the right. Aurora goes underneath them and only walks away with three. But on page number two, a lot of points sponging at the top, but Cybercats, they win map number one, and, well, they walk away with one in map two. Ooh, yeah. It's a little bit of a sad scene down here in our bottom ten.

Analyse der Teamleistungen und Spielstrategien

01:18:04

01:18:04 Wie gesagt, nicht viele Punkte spreaden. Es gibt große Ergebnisse und die Teams sind einfach nur durch zwei oder drei Teams und einfach nur mit der KP auf den Topen. Das bedeutet natürlich, dass wir die Leute sehr gut in der Lage sind. Und es kann nur die Allianz nach so einer Massive Game 2 sein.

01:18:24 Well, you say a lot and said, I want to look at their team stats specifically from that because unlucky might just actually be him. Hits those double digit eliminations with 10 and even gets three assists. 2700 damage pretty much. And Hackes in effect do a really good job in kind of supporting that because you know Hackes on Path is just going to be constantly looking for information, scouting for the team and making viable calls, but also getting mixy. That is what I love about that Pathfinder pick. But we look at the series results and after that dominating performance.

01:18:53 It brings them to the top of the leaderboard with 34 points. Genome, 16 away from 50. Yeah, look, now I'm a little bit sad that, you know, other talent didn't put a number to their prediction as well. Because I would have loved to see someone come out and say, hey, you know, I believe Alliance in four games or something. Because it's very possible if they keep playing like that. When the odds are against them somehow, every time that game, they just came out ahead.

01:19:21 Yeah, but there are some of our squads that are on that must-win scenario, like CyberCats, in third place. I would love to see them bounce back when we move on over to World's Edge. But guys, that's it for now. Storm Point, we're going to be jumping on over to World's Edge after this break.

01:21:11 ist der offiziell Partner der Apex Legends Global Series.

01:21:22 We just witnessed there, I think still recovering from Unlucky's clutch with Alliance to take game two on Stormpoint. As we look to switch it up on World's Edge and see if they can maintain their momentum, certainly as the favorites in EMEA and for today. Reindeut here joined by Vicky Kitty on the cast. We'll be bringing you that swap up. And Vicky, yeah, we could look back to Alliance and how well they've done. We could also look forward to what that means heading into World's Edge and what needs to happen for these other teams now since the pace has currently been set.

01:21:50 Listen, when it comes to Alliance, there are those consistent teams where it doesn't even matter. Stormpoint, Worlds, Edge is a team that I definitely would have put my pick on. And we also had our own talent picks. But unlucky, not only with this clutch, but then popping this medkit at the perfect time was actually insane. No luck necessary for this player. Because not only that, he also had the time playing around that knockdown shield and then popping the medkit to prioritize whether it be health or try to get the K key.

01:22:20 Und das ist der Knuckle Cluster, der Spacing und der Fuse.

01:22:47 Das bedeutet, dass es nicht mehr zu gehen ist. Wenn man die Zonen geht, wenn man die Zonen geht, wenn man die Zonen geht, wenn man die Zonen geht. Wenn man die Zonen geht, wenn man die Zonen geht, wenn man die Zonen geht. Wenn man die Zonen geht, wenn man die Zonen geht. Das ist ein tolles Schauspieler, nicht nur die Power of Fuse, aber auch was passiert, wenn man die Momentum als ein Fragger, wie Unlucky. Er hat 12 Kills auf den Tag gespielt.

01:23:14 I mean, and you get to go to Sky West here as well. I mean, Reinde, we've all been in those intense endgame circles in Apex Legends where you've clutched up, maybe not once, but twice looking out of looking. Money on the line, regional finals, and you have Germany around the corner. You know that you're already a stapled in here for Alliance with the amount of points that you were able to accumulate. But can you imagine his hands shaking like at the very end, surviving by one pixel, the knuckle cluster?

01:23:44 Ich bin, ich kann. Jetzt haben wir jetzt ein Reset hier. Gigi geht weiter. Wir gehen auf World's Edge. Wir sehen uns über Skywestern. Wir sehen uns auf der anderen Seite, wo alle anderen Spots entschieden, ihre POIs. Und als Gino hat gesagt, wir haben ein bisschen ein bisschen anders in der Zeit für die Region Finals.

01:24:07 Das ist eine andere Elemente, das hat einen großen Impact auf mich gemacht. Ich war sogar auf es, um es in den Broadcast zu sehen. Die Teams, die so gut zu kommen haben, haben Seeding-Pick. So Allianz, in der Original Snake Draft, in der ersten Städte zu haben, würde sich in den 40.

01:24:22 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal wiederholen. Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal wiedersehen.

01:24:51 Ja, du bist ein Teil der Geschichte, aber die Leute nicht wirklich folgen. Ich denke, Allianz hat das, um, hat das, um, hat das Situation, um, ein Side-Charakter zu sein, als auch. Ich denke, sie waren die Main-Charakter in Land so oft, und, ja, fallen short of expectations, fallen short of, um, wirklich, die level of play we know they're up to, especially in those final days, those Championship Sunday days. Und ich denke, dass...

01:25:16 This still, despite them being favorites here in this, is the start of them continuing to prove to themselves and to the world that, no, we are a world power. We are someone that in Germany you should expect to win. And so while, yes, things look pretty nice and easy for them, Vicky, I still think that's a major part of the narrative that they're focused on disproving if people still doubt them as a world contender.

01:25:39 Okay, we talked about the little creative angles from production. Okay, showing us the little sneak peek inside of that bin after you're done with the Prowler Den, having the gold knockdown on top of it. But I definitely agree with you, Rain Day. Seeing the performance that we know a team like Alliance could do at LAN, and then actually having them execute it is something completely different when they're the best in the region alongside Gaming Gladiators to contest with...

Strategische Anpassungen und Teamdynamiken

01:26:02

01:26:02 everybody here in Regional Finals to really showcase what they have for us, especially after making the adjustments that they did have to go through in the midseason patch. Also, on top of that, taking Trials away from a team that wants to run the Lifeline, that wants that Gold Knockdown, looking at Aurora, who are now going to have to take advantage of the Evil Harvesters to then get their Lifeline up to purple so that way they can get that perk to get the Evil Shield going down from the actual care package to then get the Gold Knockdown there too.

01:26:31 So, we gotta see how Aurora's gonna also try to counter-rotate this because we are moving on top of Grandma's house here for this final circle. It is pooling outside the mouth of Skyhook Caves. And Blacklist are coming up right behind another team here in Landslide. Tough spot to hold. And I think Blacklist have the advantage. They're gonna push one off. Alternator with Disruptors will miss most of those bullets. Hiarca, we'll find a few as they go into...

01:26:56 A little bit of a trailer. This will be tougher to push, and Hierarcha still working on wights. Has to be careful here. Machaco takes the high ground, so maybe a stalemate for now. But how do you get through? It's about resources, who has grenades, good weapons, and definitely most important sights from the Hemlock at this point. Can threaten a little bit longer, especially if they start to run. The Blacklist seem like they push this team around. It's a matter of if JMW...

01:27:18 Wants to get involved. Remember, this is the team that got involved in that skirmish with NIP last game, Vicky. And it ended Nasky, and Navi was able to come up and kind of snake a few kills there and run off into the distance. Let's hope this fight doesn't go too long and put them in a similar situation. Especially considering that blacklist at the moment. Wanted to stay on top here.

01:27:40 See what they could do, considering the fact that they're announced in 16th overall with only 5 points to their name. But the fighting has not stopped. Now looking at the exhibit coming up from Trojan. Gonna try to work around that. Stuck in the middle. Now Remix only stuck behind the knockdown shield from Atenam. But there's that vision here, even through that smoke. Atherno are gonna be able to wrap around them. Tyler, even though he had the shield and only one shot, was gonna be able to wrap behind and clean up what was left of Trojan. Very clean fight on the outskirts of Harvester, considering there is...

01:28:10 Nobody here that's going to be able to try to third party this. So not only do they clear up that fight, but they also have a beacon over and harvester before they transition their way probably through staging. Trojans, 71% of their team points on the split come from Stormpoint. And so that means they're working with 29% of their points. Maybe that was just a demonstration of why. Some teams though, however, have a different approach to it. We talked in North America with RK and a team that obviously had their struggles to split native.

01:28:38 Saying I prioritize the map I'm weakest on and we try to make it.

01:28:42 Ich glaube, das ist ein Element. Das ist ein Element. Die Strategie zu den POI Draft ist, dass wir das. Oder wir versuchen, unsere Weaknesses und die Best Chance zu machen, die wir haben. Ich liebe Leaning into Ihre Strengths, aber in einem Moment, wie wir Trojan sind, in 4th place, jetzt ist er aus. Sie können sehen, wie das zu starten wird. Ein paar Teams werden machen, als World's Edge trifft.

01:29:11 Und wir sehen ein schönes Zip-Line hier. DMS versucht zu machen etwas passieren.

01:29:21 And another isolated fight, even though a lot of these other teams are on the north side of Landslide, out in the open between these rocks, DMS having to be careful before dropping down. Has that grapple ready to go? If you're looking at Prestix, he's going to be able to get away in time. But taking this slowly is the way to go here, considering, once again, there are those teams over to the north side that could poke you from that sniper tower if they try to show face. But then you could also wrap around now having that circle information that DMS currently have. They were able to get that ring.

01:29:50 Und jetzt ist es ein Team mit dem Kausik und dem Pathfinder. Sie können diese Evo-Harvesters wiederholen, so dass sie so schnell wie möglich sind. Taskmaster nimmt den HP Heal in der Smoke. Das ist irgendwie, als das vorhin wurde, und Bangalore-Smoke ist, ist es nicht mehr ein Element der Max-Cooldown, das man traditionell ist. Und jetzt geht es, ist es notwendig?

01:30:14 While some people are going, well, I think maybe just the healing inside the smoke is better, especially if you get into a situation where you're not alive. Also, you have to play into the caustic as well. You know, that's a very dangerous combination. A lot of occlusion, a lot of damage, and now a little bit of healing as well gives Taskmaster.

01:30:30 Wir haben N.I.P. in einem Kampf. Das ist eine große Herausforderung. Das ist eine große Herausforderung. Das ist eine große Herausforderung. Es gibt D.A.N.S. für N.I.P. und Vicky. Das ist ein sehr wichtiges Ziel für sie zu machen.

01:30:45 Yeah, do you call in the evac? Do you take the jump tower right behind you here? Because not only is Danish on the other side of Countdown waiting for them at the edge of the circle, but so is DMS, who are wrapping around, who are waiting for them. The smoke has been called in. Nasty's gonna be able to navigate away from the long side. And DMS have just currently passed them, looking to try to take this fight versus Danish. Could be the green light that NIP needs. Okay, we got the angles. We got the waltz and fences. But you overextend for that young Hong Kong. Pays with his life now, as DMS are looking to not only jump over these fence lights, but try...

01:31:14 Ja, weil es hier ist, es sollte N.I.P. sein. Ja, es sollte N.I.P. sein. D.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A.N.A..

01:31:37 In der Mitte des Kampfes in Skyhook West. Ich glaube, das ist Nottes Fincir über sie. Und es wird eine große Kugel auf Matafe. Und es ist nur Allianz, die Mitglieder der Lobby sind. Und die Guaranteed Qualifiers zu Mannheim sind. Und Nottes Fincir haben eine große Schwung in Momentum. Wenn du das DUB aus dem Knuckle Cluster hast, dann verlierst du dein Leben aus dem Knuckle Cluster.

01:32:02 Gaming Gladiators.

01:32:26 The one Aurora is fighting right here. Aurora inside the building as well. 17 squads left as Survey Camp ring starts to close in about 10 seconds. So this fight does have a time limit on it, but they're right by building. It's really just a matter of seeing what can happen. Aurora doing some work. Light goes down. The Death Note could have been the right call from Tiff earlier on as that will be the end. He will take the L and Gaming Gladiators will be eliminated.

01:32:53 Rael, hier ist der Wehring, wird er wieder zurückgegangen. 9 Impuls haben wir jetzt mit Gonex in, mit Scherer, auf der Krypto. Wir haben zwei Kryptos, in dieser Lobby, glaube ich. Passion U.A. mit Artie, der andere ist. Und mit der Wartons, der Caustik, das wir auch gesehen haben, ist es gut hier, in der EMP. Aber Kai kann es nicht so gut, auch mit dem Smoke kommen, und dann, dass er noch etwas mehr von der Loot.

01:33:19 Do you get pinged from the distance, but they got what they needed and they got the KT. So they're going to be able to sit pretty here just for a little bit before they try to get that evil harvester on the high ground and then wrap behind them as Kashira also looking to reset.

01:33:31 GoNext eSports in Kashira. I love the moment where Dia asked us, do you remember he was one fight away from winning split one playoffs? Well, Shirah's been a champion in our online broadcast as well while we were doing separate regions in EMEA and NA. We were, during COVID times, unable to get the group together, get the gang together, the band, but at that time was able to, after I think about 11 wins.

01:33:55 Das war eine große Moment für Kosciera. Sie würden durch verschiedene Iterationen von den Team gehen. Und Ascend wäre das Jahr in 2023. Der Moment in London, wo er hatte eine Chance gegen Imperial HAL. Aber es war etwas Divine, dass Intervene da. Und jetzt, Gonext Esports. Very similar, sehr appropriately named für Story. Trying to do it again. Different Squad.

01:34:18 And they got a chance, but five points after two games gonna look for at least seven to ten points here in this one, hopefully a win. As this zone looks to close, Vicky round three about to begin for players who are just getting their heels off and running in as well.

01:34:32 Especially for Aurora, who were able to get that res, by the way, on the mobile respawn that was over by SurveyCamp. And with players wrapping around, they were looking to see if they can involve themselves. But feeling the pressure from the circle and looking at where GoNex positioning is, I do like the call to instead just prioritize their rotation and then maybe get the jump at the weakened Aurora, who are going to be slowly coming out of Survey to get the loot that they need here. But they're not the only ones waiting for them. We know that F8 kids are also around the corner on the other side of where players is positioned. Do they want to over...

01:35:01 Das ist die Frage. Es ist eigentlich eine gute Frage, weil, bei diesem Punkt, du hast nicht viele Möglichkeiten gegeben. Und das ist, ich denke, ein Team, wenn du wirklich an es, ist ein bisschen mehr Konservative. Ich denke, die Spieler sind in eine Konservative, in einer Konservative zu spielen, wo, wenn du auf die Map und sagst, wir waren über die E-Sports, sie waren über den gleichen Positionen. Ein Team, die wir typisch denken, hat eine Konservative-Playstyle, und sie haben Watton und Krypto schon gemacht, wurde aggressiv und wurde zurückgegangen.

01:35:30 Very, very aggressively to go sit in a building. Sit in a building, that's conservative. Aggressively doing it, though, that's the thing. They have their game plan so on point that sometimes it helps them not be in situations like this. So now sitting in a great spot as FAKids, Aurora, and even NIP and Nata Spensier have to move into the building. But in the meanwhile, the building that we're focusing on in Fragment, stay healthy.

01:35:52 Having a little bit of a fight here. Only on Blues. This is gonna mean I need to hit my shots. Otherwise, we may go down, but they get what they came for. Eternal eliminated. And stay healthy. We'll be able to reset.

01:36:03 Ich glaube, er war ein bisschen ein bisschen. Unfortunately, er hat es unbekannte, aber absolut beaming mit dem Volt. Should have been on Vantage. Right? Just got to get away as quickly as possible. But now I see her with the Vision is too crazy right now, especially in combination with the Bangalore. And seeing the amount of different Fuses that we also see making their way into this Lobby Danish.

01:36:23 TMS Valorn, Blue's come up right behind under the team, the 3-2-1 onto Sevenozits, as he was unexpecting Danish to wrap around now with the Circle closing in right behind them. Evil Harvester right ahead of them, but they know there's about maybe two other teams that are waiting for them right in front, and then DMF over to their right side on top of the zipline. Oh, what a desperate push from Danish. It's the last effort, and it's just not going to be good enough.

01:36:46 14th Squad, sie bleiben. Es gibt zumindest zwei, die hier stehen. Sie sehen, Max Strafi und Artico zu bleiben, aber DMS, sie fallen. Blacklist International bleibt, vielleicht aus der Augen der Terror, hier in der Moment. Vielleicht wird ein bisschen Terror geben, als Sie einen Alternatoren haben, mit Disruptors, das meistens nicht funktioniert für Sie. Hierarcha nimmt die Hit-Fire, aber es gibt noch mehr zu tun.

01:37:11 Need help.

01:37:39 NIP. Du kannst das sagen, wie du willst. Aber die Art ich referiere, ist sie brauchen andere Teams zu tun, ein bisschen weniger als usual. Und sie müssen auch sehr, sehr gut sein. Zidane, auf FA Kids, als Solo. Das könnte ein Problem sein. Ist es jetzt? Natski nimmt ein bisschen mehr damage. Und er...

01:37:57 Das ist das Zidane. Das ist das Fakids-Threat. Aber sie sind noch auf Aurora, der ist in der Front. Zidane wird für ein peek. Da er ist. Sie sehen ihn aus der corner. Und das ist Impact Zane. Er geht um 10 health. Er geht um 10 health. Er geht um 10 health. Und das ist es. Aurora, ANC-Outplay geteilt. Und sie werden noch weiter für ein weiteres Spiel. Als Fakids bleibt, das Peek von Zidane. Das ist auch alles.

01:38:25 He grieved them, too, because they felt the pressure on every side of that low ground underneath those train tracks. OP, who was able to have leeway over that grandma's house, who dropped them down. Nobody took them out of that building, while Na'Vi, fighting on the other side of the mountain by this choke...

01:38:40 Motherlode bereits online, hier auch. Die ganze Mouth von der Cave. Na'Vi jetzt versuchen zu den anderen Seite zu gehen. Sie haben die Seer-Ult. Sie sind die Tick-Damage auf der Thermite. Metafi wird das Spiel geben. Das Spiel ist sehr schnell. Es wird die 3rd-Party zu sein. Blacklist jetzt machte eine Appearance. Er hat die Healing in der Smoke-Perk, auch. Das ist etwas zu wissen. Es hat nicht wirklich an Impact in der Fight, weil es so schnell ist. Der Rush, der Pace ist nicht genug.

Endspielstrategien und überraschende Wendungen

01:39:09

01:39:09 Given the fact that you've got to make these types of decisions to survive this amount of burst damage, clearly not, as they will go down. Fyuta still alive with ExoClan. This has been the piece that Kay Swinney and Slayers thought might be enough for them. They look like they're in Qualification Realm, but they've got to perform well today to secure it. Good shots from the Havoc from afar, and that will put ExoClan in a good position. They're staring down CyberCats as well as a member of Blacklist International, Vicky.

01:39:36 Oh, he takes a little bit of damage from the zone. Is it going to be enough? Does it determine?

01:40:01 Ranches, he's already clutched one that surely is Cyberclass, Katz, who clean up ExoClan. It is four squads left. That was no problem at all. And Exo losing Kay Swinney, going down in that 1v1 might have been the difference in not being able to reset fast enough. It is ANC outplayed. Go Next Esports, who we talked about, pulled back out of the fray and have just sat and waited for the lobby to come to them, as well as Agenthy and Mizuko.

01:40:29 On the opposite side, representing Stay Healthy.

01:40:34 Man, Cybercats are actually facing. They had a Bowcheck. The Devo is right here looking at Alonzi. Cybercats looking to replicate the success that we saw on Stormpoint. Now on World's Edge after a huge first game here. Rant is on a beautiful angle. Beautiful shots on the Hemlock. No follow-ups just yet. They don't want to overextend here, but they have amazing angles. Because on the other side, like you mentioned, Randa, it's staying healthy. Waiting for them uncontested on the east side of the circle. Stays alive as well. That is huge. Just the impact of Cleave.

01:41:03 Ranches, Kleeve, Maliwan, Original Aurora, they're so good at bringing in compositions that are different. We talked about, well, what happens when everyone's doing something different? They're bringing in the Fuse, they're doing something odd. Well, then they decide, well, let's bring in the Magi. Kleeve as well, supporting, well, Ilonzi with the Devotion and the Bojek and Ranches with the Hemlock find so much efficacy. They've already won one game, Vicky. Can they do it again?

01:41:29 Mit drei Quads leften hier sind Cybercats. Wir haben Outplay, Stay Healthy hier. Und Cybercats sind jetzt auf die Low-Gram. Aber es sieht aus wie jetzt, Stay Healthy ist. Sie wollen zu fully engagieren, auf OP. Sie sehen sie Tornepart sind. Da sind zwei Nucks auf der anderen Seite. Und Stay Healthy ist jetzt, Looking Like Chameleons, müssen die Cybercats nicht auf der anderen Seite sehen. Stay Healthy, Fighting ANSI Outplay. Das heißt, Cybercats werden...

01:41:51 Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Is the comeback story from CyberCats happening right now? Just to put into perspective, they have to finish today in first.

01:42:19 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

01:42:46 And yet they just do it again. They have these great starts to this map. But also one of the things is the timing that I'm noticing they're demonstrating. Yes, I love commenting on how these players, Cleveland Ranches specifically, because Alonzi wasn't a part of that team's identity in the earlier iterations of Aurora, but how they like to do something different than the lobby. And Storm Point, we saw the Pathfinder. We saw the Gibraltar.

01:43:11 Und dann wir, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie,

01:43:40 Das ist ein Team, dass Apex ihre eigene Weise spielt und es funktioniert.

01:43:44 I wish to understand the minds of CyberCats, you know, like landing over by Frag East as their pick, leaving Epi open and then cycling around in a circle like that behind OP to hold the choke, to gatekeep all the teams that are going to be moving in from the west side, secures them 13kp on top of the dub. So they're sitting very close there to match point after two wins alone and then leaving all the way, looking down at Aurora with their 7kp, Blacklist with 6kp.

01:44:13 Was ist das Chaos, dass wir von der westen Seite gesehen haben? Hier ist die verrückte Sache, weil wir müssen die Geschichte haben. Cybercats, wir haben die Situation, die sie in sind. Sie sind in 18th Platz.

01:44:27 ...means that they're on the track to win. You've still got to win games, but they've proven they can do it. Two out of four, that's 50%. If they get a win, that's pretty much the only way they're going to make it. Because even if they get second place, which is 21 points, it's not going to be enough to put them into the top eight, even as it stands, which is insane. They would not even be in the top eight if they didn't play today. Like, that's just how far behind they are. 51 points, eight is 75. So...

01:44:54 Ich freue mich sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

01:45:02 Es ist so, mit den verschiedenen Compositions sie haben, richtig? Der Fakt ist, dass sie jetzt 46 Punkte sind. Die zwei Dubs sind auf zwei unterschiedlichen Ebenen. Und jetzt sind sie zu sehen. Sie sind bereits mit einem Leid über den Allianz, die wir gesehen haben, von Unlucky 2 auf Stormpoint zu sehen. Und für StayHealthy zu sein, dass sie hier hinten sind. Die Gäste von Cyberkats und dann mit den Ebenen zu StayHealthy in 3rd.

01:45:31 Afex stays, excuse me, Unlucky stays at 12 kills. Alonzi and Ranches move up into second and third place respectively with nine and eight kills as well. Cybercats, they are the story so far after four. Stormpoint, World's Edge, Genome, three things that we all love in Apex Legends Competitive. Give me your thoughts here on Cybercats taking the W.

Halftime Recap mit Graceful: Teamanalysen und Strategien

01:45:52

01:45:52 Yeah, I mean, look, after that first game, you know, the second game, they dropped off a little bit, but honestly, it just kind of felt like Alliance was the only team in our second match. But yeah, look, a massive comeback now, sadly, just four points shy. I'm sure they're going to be kicking themselves that, you know, they weren't able to just chip a couple more in in game two. But look, sitting there, you know, way above the rest of the lobby, going into game four, they don't have to do a lot to get onto match point now, right? So there's actually a lot of...

01:46:21 We got somebody who can talk to us at a high level, both having been here before but also having watched it with us on the sidelines.

01:46:47 at the desk and now online as well. Graceful, welcome back to the show, my friend. We've missed you. Thank you for spending some time. We know you're a little bit under the weather, but thanks again for giving us your time here for our Halftime Recap, buddy. Thank you so much for having me here. And yeah, I'm happy to be here again.

01:47:04 You know, listen, normally at LAN, I'm telling you how good you're dressed, right? Because you always have these fly outfits that I'm just trying to compete with. You wore the black tee so that we can look good. I appreciate you for dressing down for us and our confidence. But at the end of the day, jokes aside, I wanted to just say, like, how is this first three games? It's been crazy. Cybercats, 66% of the wins. Is it as simple as that? Or are there other stories that we should be paying attention to with teams that are underperforming or overperforming in your eyes?

01:47:34 So I think the way I see it is that the level of Apex is at the highest it's ever been across all teams, like all regions combined the highest level it's ever been, because you can see now that games play out very differently from how we are used to seeing it. When we see Zone 4, Zone 5, normally what we're used to seeing for the past three years is that zone closes very shortly, teams that we expect to win, win, because the games play out how we assume them to play out.

01:47:59 But seeing, you know, CyberCats playing so strong is that you see teams are now taking advantage of, you hear a gunshot, you know, in game one they heard that they were split because they heard somebody was trying to finish off two downs and they climbed on it and they made a play and that won them the game. Last game we see them once again make plays. Like everybody's just looking to make plays now across all teams, not just the teams that are rating at the top currently. But I think that the level difference being so high is what makes teams stand out really. And the teams that are great at fighting.

01:48:28 Specifically, Cybercats have always been known as great as fighting. Now that they have, you know, with the new drafting system as well, you know, enabling them to play from POIs how they want to play, are standing out. Yeah.

01:48:42 I love how you describe risk and reward and how a lot of these teams are going forward with that decision making. I mean, talking about teams like CyberCats that are trying out something new, they also land frag East here on World's Edge and then were able to make that rotate. I mean, from your experience on Nessie and playing in lobbies like this, what do you think changes up a lot for these regional finals aside from that risk and reward that a lot of these teams are willing to make considering what a team like CyberCats needs to do to even qualify for Split 2 LAN?

01:49:12 Ja, es wird sehr unterschiedlich, weil du kannst verschiedene Erfahrungen machen, wie du kannst, und ich glaube, wir haben sehr viel Erfolg von Cybercats gesehen, aber als du in den letzten Städten von Matchpoint Finals wirst, es wird viel schwieriger, weil jetzt, wenn du in die Moment, dass du either Rafe oder Maggy oder Ash gesehen hast, sie wissen, welche Team zu enden für Matchpoint. So es wird viel schwieriger zu verlassen, aber als du in den Städten zu gehen, die Leute nicht wirklich interessieren. Sie sagen, es ist das Team.

01:49:40 they're not going to throw their game to stop them, right? But as you get later, people are going to be throwing their games, especially if they're not on match point, to not end the tournament. So closing out would be a lot harder, but I think that as you navigate through the lobbies, you already recognize people's macro, comp or not, you know, which teams are playing early zone, which teams are playing a lot edge, and that will open up more for teams to, you know, prioritize differently, depending on objectives, because in the end, we also have to think about, are you spawning with a ring console or not?

01:50:09 um uevs or objective points to rotate early because there's been times you know even for me in this in pro league where you know you don't have any objective points you don't get blue you can't really if you play fuse you don't play the typical ring console characters you don't even have beacon knowledge like you can't rotate early with no beacon it's going to be really hard you have to play akp and then it becomes messy yeah

01:50:31 Well, look, you were there with me in L.A., Graceful, and we saw, you know, a final zone where they were playing for a million dollars and they still didn't, you know, in that team on match points. So, you know, thinking about how these final circles play out and, you know, what the teams are sort of considering when they go into those situations, I want to take you through the first three games we've got here and get your thoughts on how these finished up. This was the first one down at the pylon. We had a couple of teams inside.

01:51:01 Und dann haben wir Dänisch auf den Outsiders. Somehow Cybercats leveraged die Gibby Utilität zu kommen hier.

01:51:09 Ja, das ist was ich zu sagen, Cybercats hört und Thurscht aufbaut, dass sie diese zwei Bolle aufbaut sind, und dann sind sie, ihr wisst, aufbaut, und das ist was ich zu sagen, die Leute sind sehr froh, die Level ist so hoch, alle Teams sind immer wieder zu machen, aber sie bekommen das gleiche Sache auf sie, sie werden wieder aufbaut aufbaut, sie werden aufbaut aufbaut, aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut aufbaut

01:51:38 Wow, look you...

01:51:52 You know I'm on the same team there when it comes to M&K. Graceful. Now, going into our second game here, we had Alliance. I mean, they had a beautiful start and a mid-game run. Honestly, the whole thing was just a movie, but this last clutch by Unlucky. Look at that! Literally won HP! How did he win this?

01:52:12 Ja, ich sah den Ehrlich-Clutch als auch. Er hat sich sehr gut gemacht. Er ist so, wie soll ich sagen, calm. Er ist nicht Stretz, er ist Eis in den Veins. Er ist einfach aus den Szenen, Armorswapping und noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch noch.

01:52:40 Yeah, I love that. You just pop in a Shield Cell and the winning graphic comes up. Well, they switch compositions again, going into Worlds Edge, always leaving us with something a little bit fun. This time it's Bloodhound, Maggie and Park. How did they use those Legends to come out on top in Game 3?

01:52:59 This is the coolest one. Look at this here. He gets a down and he immediately disengages because they're already aware that they're going to get thirded, right? So they actually just get one down, disengaged, repositioned to not be pinched, repositioned on the outside to pinch them on this rock where they have a two-way angle on this rock. And they just close off this literally perfect macro from the team to get this. Not only that, they're still not aping the rock, even if they...

01:53:24 Die 3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

01:53:46 10-10. Well, if Graceville gives it a 10-10, it's got to be good as well, my man. Hey, listen, before we let you go, any predictions? We got most of the talent, but we consider you talent as well. What's your prediction for who's going to win today?

01:54:00 I think that it's unlikely that a team that is not normally in top five will close out the tournament. I think, however, that there will be more people on Matchpoint than we expect, but I always have to trust my boy, Hakis, to close out the game. Okay. Another Alliance vote as well. Gracel, thank you so much. We hope to see you very, very soon. Thank you so much for having me, like always. Take care.

01:54:28 All right, Graceville. If it goes to 6, he may come back with us as well as we look to head into more games. And more games, they are upon us. Tiff, excuse me, Vicky and Genome, amazing that you guys have been working. Vic, you're going to take a break. We're going to swap in, Tiff and Genome. You guys are going to get ready for the cast for our second game on Storm Point here.

01:54:48 Yep. It's going to be fun. Let's do it. I'm back. All right. Look, they were trying to lock me away, but they could not keep me away from the action for long. But another one on World's Edge Genome. Gotta full send it.

Cybercats' Vielseitigkeit und strategische POI-Wahl

01:55:02

01:55:02 Ja, es war viel Spaß beim Stormpoint, aber wie Sie sehen, noch mehr Interessante, viel Compositions kommen. Und die Wahrheit, die Cybercats haben jetzt gewonnen, mit zwei verschiedenen Compositen, gibt mir, ehrlich gesagt, viel Hoffnung für sie in den nächsten Videos.

01:55:19 Yeah, it's kind of wild as we look at the map rotation, right? We're going to jump onto Stormpoint after we finalize this onto World's Edge. But prior to the Regional Finals Day, Cybercats had only won two matches, one on World's Edge. And that's just so tough when you kind of come in here and you're like, all right, we are full sending. We are getting two of the three victories. But what Graceful had to say is like, you know, teams that are typically top five are going to be the ones that are going to be closing this out. But honestly, I think Cybercats have something to say about that.

01:55:48 Oh ja, es scheint so far zu sein. Ich denke, die wichtigste Sache ist, was es, wie die Region Finals-Lobbys sind, die wir sehen in den restlichen Pro-League sehen. Und verschiedene Teams tend zu tun besser oder besser, depending auf welchen Situationen Sie stellen. Und wie Sie sehen, Cybercats sind absoluten.

01:56:15 They are definitely thriving, but can they hold on to it, knowing that they're just a few points away from that 50-point threshold? Now, I would love to see them go ahead and get to that threshold and maybe have a game or two in Pocket to see if that'll work. But let's just go ahead and figure what that's going to look like, because Alliance are so close to hitting that 50-point threshold. And if Graceful says it's true that we're going to have multiple teams that are hitting that matchpoint finals threshold, you know, we could be in.

01:56:44 for a rather interesting day. And it's just getting started. Yeah, I mean, you know, as we said, it's a minimum of six games, even if Cybercats came out and won the next two and just blew it away.

01:56:56 But, yeah, you know, there's so many strong teams. We've already seen, you know, how good both Alliance and CyberCats look, but there's plenty of other teams, I think, that have got some gas left in the tank. You know, FaZe looked really good in that first game, picking up quite a few kills. And, yeah, look, I honestly don't think we're going to get a short series here. I would have to agree with Graceful.

01:57:21 Yeah, let's lock it in for the long time. And I love that you bring up FaZe Clan, right? They're sitting at 23 points, which is kind of just at that halfway point. But honestly, that squad can put down some bangers and get to the 50 relatively quickly. Now, I do have some people that did predict FaZe to go ahead and take it on that sixth to seventh map. So it'll be interesting how they acquire some points from here on out, especially in the next World's Edge and then kind of jumping over to Storm Point. But the teams that are better at Storm Point, if they can go ahead and hit that match point threshold now on.

01:57:50 World's Edge, it gives you kind of two opportunities to lock it in. Yeah, and that was one of the things that I had in my mind when I was thinking about the POI draft coming into the regional finals, Tiff, is like strategically, I think you should be thinking about when are we most likely to hit match point and therefore, you know, should we be prioritizing our Storm Point pick or our World's Edge pick so that when we do get to that point and we're ready to take the dub, are we on the strongest?

01:58:19 POI.

01:58:21 So we're still 36 points away, which it seems

01:58:50 Es ist ein bisschen zu viel zu können, um das Threshold zu bekommen, nach dieser einen Map zu können. So vielleicht schauen Sie für sie zu 50, wenn sie einen Banger Games haben, um die nächsten Iterationen von Stormpoint, Geno. Ja, ich glaube, eine interessante Sache, wenn wir diese Graphik sehen, und wir denken über die Spread von Points auf beiden Maps jetzt, ist, dass es nicht so clear-cut ist, als es zu sein ist. Denn früher, ein Team würde nur einen POI haben, auf beiden Maps, und deswegen war es eher predictable.

01:59:19 wie sie spielen.

01:59:21 wie stark sie waren, auf den eitheren map. Jetzt sind sie über beide Draftaten. Vielleicht sind sie Stormpoint eine Woche in den POI-Draft und vielleicht sind sie Welt's Edge die nächste. Es geht auch um ihre Playstyle ein bisschen, mit beiden Maps zu spielen. Aber ja, es ist interessant, dass du noch einige Teams, wie Trojan, mit 70% auf Stormpoint, wenn wir

01:59:51 Faktors I just mentioned kicking about in the POI draft.

01:59:54 Yeah, speaking of POI Draft, I'd love to go ahead and look at the points per World's Edge POI, and it kind of just shows us all over the place. Now, the majority of our teams do love that SkyWest, which is going to be over there to the farthest right, because it is oftentimes, if not the first pick, it'll go second. And if it goes second, well, someone threw in that first pick. They wanted something completely different. And typically, the best teams will do the best from SkyWest. It's such a good POI. We love talking about that, but it's not the only.

02:00:24 Ich glaube, das ist wirklich nicht so, wenn man das nicht sieht, da sind ja, andere Sachen, die sind sogar höher. Das ist nur in EMEA, ich glaube. Und wenn man die Daten von all over den ALGS-Circuit hat, dann wird es viel einfacher zu sehen.

02:00:43 Feels like all the complaining that teams did in previous years about, oh, well, we could never win because, you know, we have to land Geyser. Look at this. It doesn't matter that much. It's got almost the same average points as SkyWest. It's been such a great sort of way to say that really it is just about you. It's about the teams, you know, stop crutching and saying, you know, no Johns. Don't give me these excuses about POIs. Like, anyone can do it.

02:01:11 Gina, I'm just going to hear your excuses, okay? You just got no time for that. But you bring up big mod, and honestly, people have won from that three different times. Survey camp, twice. So it really just matters on what your timing looks like and that pathing at the end of the day. And whatever you get, maybe you get a ring call, some survey beacon, who knows? May those things be in your favor on getting the goods spawning into your POI drop spots.

02:01:36 Ja, look, we haven't eliminated the RNG completely from Apex Legends. It is still a Battle Royale after all, but gosh, if the POI Giraffe System hasn't shown us that this game really is skill and the best teams continue to shine no matter whether they're playing from Sky West or from Dawn. Ooh, but guys, if you want to watch...

Apex Your Way: Multi-View-Optionen und Team-Strategien

02:02:02

02:02:02 Apex Your Way. Base at Watch is the official multi-view streaming platform for the ALGS. Get in on those team comms. I mean, we got to show ninjas in pajamas at the top of the show. Those are just things that you don't want to miss out on. You get such valuable information and honestly, you get the vibes. You get the chaos and I love to see it this way. And also a lot of teams, people out there that are kind of hosting their own watch parties all across the realm, whether it's on Twitch or wherever your streaming platform of choice is.

02:02:31 Das ist so ein guter Weg zu bringen, um die MAP-VIEW zu wirklich helfen. Ja, ich glaube, ich weiß nicht, wie du benutzt auf Twitch, aber... Tipp! ... auf Twitch, wenn du nicht auf den Broadcast bist. Aber für mich ist es meistens ein Mix, richtig? Ich werde mich über die Castes beitragen, ich werde ein paar Team kommen hier und da, zu sehen, was die Vibes sind, von all den verschiedenen Teams sind. Es gibt so viele Optionen in Apex und es ist ein sehr guter Sport zu watch in der Weise.

02:02:59 I'm not going to lie, I do a lot of different things. I have like 17 tabs open because I'm one of those kind of people. I'll usually have Wig, sometimes I'll have Greek. It just really depends. And then I've got Main over here. But for now, you know what I've got? Map number four. We got some World's Edge. And your team that has taken two wins out of three so far. A nice win rate.

02:03:22 Landing out in Fragment, still keeping things interesting. I love that we're very well in tune with the Bloodhound and the Mad Maggie. And then honestly, I'm still not over the fact that people are playing Pathfinder. Oh man, I'm loving it. I like, you know, I'm a big Pathfinder player from way back. You can see here, actually, this is one of the interesting things I noticed on the map, just pulling in here, Tiff, is that...

02:03:48 We do have Cybercats pulling out to Ghost Town here. Two of them actually starting off and looting there. Might even be heading in towards the tunnel where Stay Healthy currently are as well. I wonder if we'll see an early skirmish. That could be rough. Their other teammate very, very far away from them.

02:04:08 Yeah, but knowing that they're only four points away. Now, okay, no. So they're going in the tunnel because they used the drone. And inside that drone, they got the vault key. So there's a lot of things that we usually don't talk on main because we don't normally catch it, right? So when you see someone having not only fragment, but you get no name in the picture and you know the drone pathings, you can just shoot it down, grab that vault key, go get even better loot from there. You'll typically find maybe like a gold knockdown, gold bag, all the goods. But as we look towards where that circle is pulling,

02:04:38 It's actually going to be quite favorable, not only just for CyberCats, but for teams like Gaming Gladiators, FaZe, A&C Outplayed. Moving up towards SurveyCamp. But will it keep pulling? That's...

02:04:51 Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage. Das ist die 1,000,000-dollar Frage.

02:05:21 Ja, Southern Teams nicht wirklich über das, was zu viel. Much mehr über die Placement des Evo Harvesters auf dem Map.

02:05:41 Where their friendly competitors are also slipping in past. Because you've got Trojan, you've got Ninjas, and you've got DMS as well in the area. It's actually getting a little bit, you know, a little bit clustered down here towards Harvester.

02:05:59 Honestly, DMS, quite a scary fighting team. And something that's been really fun this area since we had all of those changes in that mid-season is just who is coming out to play, right? We've got a caustic locked in from DMS, which has been very typical of what they've been running. Opening it up, grabbing that knock onto MyC. But here goes the Cybercats, right? Three points away from 50 because they've grabbed a rogue elimination as they've returned to Freg. Now you've turned yourself into that player advantage. And unfortunately, it's onto that Danish roster. Now, mind you, I did talk to Young Hong Kong prior.

02:06:28 They were making some changes onto their Legend Comp for Storm Point, but they just haven't been able to get things moving. Their only goal, finish better than XO, DMS, and Free Agent Kids, or FA Kids, because of the fact that if you want to lock in LAN, you've got to perform better than them. And DMS, they're already on that rotation.

02:06:45 They are moving around. Great point, Tiff. I was just laughing at the jump scare there from Ranchers when he went up the zipline and realized that there was still a rogue Watson fence up the top. That's the worst. And had to dip off. But yeah, look, these southern teams certainly taking their time.

02:07:02 Um, NIP here going past Staging. Now, they are playing for Thermal Station, right? We noted that, uh, very far down the draft, somehow, them and Cybercats, honestly, uh, you know, I think it was something like 13th and 18th, uh, pick that they were, have still landed very, very good POIs, um, considering that position. Um, and Ninjas were saying they had the option to go Thermal. They've been trying to, you know, put their name on that all, all split. Um, and they actually decided, um, sorry,

02:07:32 Siphon and decided to go Thermal instead, because they were saying they think it's a lot easier to play for, right? Like, it's a very straightforward playstyle, whereas Siphon, you've got so many other teams around you that are playing in a very late-rotate style. If you get a Northern Circle like this, then it's very hard to make those decisions, and it was interesting to hear Natsuki sort of not backing himself in that way and saying, no, I'd rather, you know, just sort of, you know, keep it simple this week, because we know we have to.

02:08:01 Das war das erste Mal.

02:08:03 I really want to see what Stay Healthy is going to do here alongside Navi, but I'm going to double back on that point with Ninjas, right? You know they have a lot of experience landing Lava Fissure out prior towards that move towards Lava Siphon. We do know that based on all the rings that we've seen throughout this entire split, that they do not pull Thermal. They are just avoiding Thermal in general. But allowing Ninjas a free and clear rotate up towards the north, whether it's Mirage Atwa and kind of into Lava Fissure where they're used to those rotates, it's very typical to what they're doing.

02:08:32 But for Stay Healthy, hey, you gotta find that information over here at Grandma's, which typically boasts a Survey Beacon. But on the minimap, I don't necessarily see if one actually spawned in here.

02:08:43 Yeah, looking on the roof there, I can't quite see one. So yeah, perhaps not. But, you know, Ninjas did get one down towards Landslide. They've got both the Ring Console and the Survey Beacon down there. So they're just sort of holding around that area. Actually, DMS chasing them through the tunnel right now. This could be an interesting one. Aurora trying to take a position. This will be important much later on in the game, I would say. So as long as they don't get pulled up on by Gaming Gladiators right now, they should...

02:09:13 Which one of these guys doesn't have a backpack if we're pinging level one backpacks because that's some pretty bad

02:09:32 RNG. Regardless, we're going to go ahead and get that level one backpack on it. That just goes to show you guys, Skyhook West greater than Skyhook East. Now, Aurora, very familiar with playing from Climatizer, and this is a typical position that they will lock in to play on similar zones if they land in Clima.

Strategische Positionierung und Teamkämpfe auf Storm Point

02:09:47

02:09:47 They're coming from Skyhook East. So you saw that evac tower into that play. Now granted, where this circle is continuing to pull, a lot of those teams are going to look for that high ground rock position, Gino. So if you're already locking those spaces in early and we're going to have some really tough areas, what do you recommend for teams like FA Kids, Danish players kind of coming down from that Southeast?

02:10:09 Ja, es ist wirklich ein schwerer Punkt, weil, wie du gesagt hast, die Power Positionen, um, wo das Circle zieht, wird es auch auf der anderen Seite der Träcke gehen, oder es wird auf den Rocken, wie du gesagt hast. Es geht um, wie weit das Circle geht. Ich denke, die Teams werden für das Late Survey Beacon gehen, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

02:10:38 Oh, definitely not, but for Danish, just trying to get out if they can. You can see Jukes has already ripped Fritz down and Zhonya, Troom, Jukes trying to clean up the remnants of it with only five points. Every elimination is going to do wonders for their overall leaderboard. They found themselves in one of those must-win regional finals positions and have already found too much pressure from the pokes coming across, so we have to disengage and maybe decide to wrap up towards the north through Climatizer.

02:11:07 Yeah, they'll find probably that free for themselves if they continue to go that way. Actually, no one holding the bridges that they're looking for at the moment. A late flight in by Alliance, and they've come directly into contact here with Aurora. Whoa, getting absolutely battened down by this Rolling Thunder here as well.

02:11:32 Yeah, but to be able to make a play off this kind of crevice that we found in the High North, they play off that Ring 3 information. They know where they want to position themselves and Chao Aurora for it. But since Aurora took the brunt of the damage, they didn't ask...

02:11:44 Ich habe gesehen, ich habe eine Motherlode gesehen, und hier kommt Gaming Gladiators. Viele Teams denken das ist ein Team, das zu sein wird, in den Region Finals gewonnen haben, aber sie haben nicht wirklich gewonnen, die wir uns verwendet haben. Sie haben eigentlich nur zwei Punkte.

02:12:05 Oh my, yeah, that is an insanely bad start to the day here. And not a great start to this fight either for Alliance Day. You can see two of them now getting knocked. All right, we need the Unlucky special again. That's the only way they're getting out of this one. I think they're just like falling to see what Unlucky can do here. But no, that's a wrap. Go next for Alliance. A 28-point game kind of carrying them in this series.

02:12:29 Ja. Ja.

02:12:35 Ja, hat's die Upgrade as well.

02:13:04 His heartbeat sensor there. And they've actually pushed Aurora all the way out into the ring. I mean, Aurora is usually an aggressive team. I don't know why they're giving them so much respect and ground here. I guess they didn't want to take them on while the exhibit was up.

02:13:20 Das ist eine Extension, um sie zu holen, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten. Wir sind bereits die Knuckle-Cluster aus, wie wir sehen, von Zayn. Aber Gaming Gladiators, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten.

02:13:45 The Angle's coming on, and they've got The Rock, and that's gonna be top to play around, right? Oh, did Gaming Gladiators, did they get up a little bit too much room, chasing Aurora out here, as we see Nip in his pajamas here, falling into that same crevice that Alliance went down in. Now they're getting pushed into the zone as well, and GG are just putting so much pressure on all of the teams around them.

02:14:11 Ja, Nassi öffnet es, Lufka öffnet es, wird es in der 3-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-

02:14:40 It was perfectly timed by them because Ninjas here, they've dropped Nasky. Let's see if they've learned their lesson. If there's a Moby somewhere around, they might not even get timed, Tiff. Well, Ninjas in Pajamas have been wrapped.

02:14:55 Spocka Genius using that.

02:15:20 Passives there to make sure there's another gen ready to go if anything happens to the one they've just put up. And Circle pulls and continues to go north. Aurora, definitely in Godspot. Look, this is one of those ones they can convert on...

02:15:37 Honestly, we did lose Katz on that kind of migration. They fell without hitting 50 points, so no one's gonna be on Matchpoint as of right now and stay healthy, just trying to keep up with that namesake, right? 28 points coming in, looking for 22, but we just lost out on one member. Now we turn over to Blacklist International, Yuchako Mastiff in hand, trying to connect around, but unfortunately gets flanked.

02:15:59 Oh, okay. Just gonna play the knockdown shield, but doesn't account for the high ground angle there from Trojan. All right, the Goldmock comes in. Can they get the res off in time before F8 kids come in and finish them off? We just keep on with the Chaos J Savage last standing. One shall over the trade, and we don't keep it Trojan, who just keep warming on up. Hit a reset. Unless...

02:16:28 Unless we get another? Third party? Fifth party? Seventh party? Nah, for real. We get a moment of reprieve in the chaos that is this ring. Yes, Trojan. Luckily, every team around them has decided they need to start getting their skates on and making a move up towards Survey Camp. You can see here, there's a Gaustic in the lobby, I guess. Yep.

02:16:48 We can see it here on DMS, using that to try and hide inside the gas, inside the caravan, and try and make a little bit of space for them as every team apparently is just unloading grenades to try and uproot their position.

02:17:04 Yeah, that's going to be a tough one, right? Caustic is great to be able to trap that off, but usually you'll see Watson teams kind of lock it into the truck position. That's why Passion UA has the opposing truck just north of them, because you can really put that Jenny on in and then kind of fence as well, especially with fuses and knuckle clusters galore. It's been tough.

02:17:22 Oh, they were just, it felt like they were constantly trying to reset there.

02:17:49 Very hard position to play from. You often take so much aggro within the RV that it can be hard to ever feel like you're in a position to make a play yourself. You're always sort of at the mercy of everybody else. Oh!

02:18:06 All the Disruptors are singing a song in Black Venom here trying to clean out the other one. Atlas have taken down Passion UA and they've won themselves a truck. We just have 50 seconds left before we have to hit that rotate and we've already burned the majority of our...

02:18:20 So we're going to have to start chaining those ultic cells if we even get that chance to. But look where FaZe has positioned themselves on kind of the northeastern side of Survey Camp. They'll have a quick rotation in, but the space that Aurora has set up while everyone else collapses. My only qualm with this is how many eliminations are we going to be able to pull?

02:18:40 Position's gonna have to speak for itself, let those Elams come later. Yeah, I've been keeping my eye on Aurora. They have been moving around, moving and shaking all the way. I'm just making sure they can keep as much space as possible, putting pressure on anyone who even looks in their direction, because as we noted, they're up on the top of those rocks. They're the only team in the ring currently. Every other, all the other six squads, they have to make their way in. And at the moment, as you can see, they're just too busy fighting each other to even think about.

02:19:09 Ja, für real. ExoClan versucht zu machen. Und, und, und, und, es wird nur K-Swiney last stand und grabs einen, aber, unfortunately, nicht zu machen. Das Rotate-Mozin versucht zu machen. Faze-Challenge und Aurora für den High Ground. Sie wussten das war, und Kazak, sie wurden evicted.

02:19:29 They have pushed them off. That was the evac jump-up play there from FaZe Clan. The one weakness of Aurora's game plan is that they were very split. So a concerted three-man effort there from FaZe Clan is enough to take that spot away from them. I told you, my friend.

02:19:47 Tom over there writes a lot of really great articles and decided it was going to be phased in six or seven. And now sitting with six eliminations and a top three position with 36 points. They are inching closer towards that 50 point threshold. They have this power position that they stole from Aurora. They've got fences down. So you have go next on the opposing rocks and Aurora playing from the train cart. Now the biggest threat here is who is going to send who first?

02:20:14 Yeah, and with where the final circle finishes, it's actually a little bit closer to Go Next and Aurora, but FaZe have a little bit more cover on their Rock, so honestly, very hard one to call in terms of, you know, sort of who's going to lose that cover first, but as you say, it's a crucial part of this last fight. You know, which ultimates are available is often the most important part of these final fights. We don't have all of that information, but as

02:20:44 Was die Team start pulling in here? Faceglad are going to get aggro first. What? Kachera down. Slab makes the trade. Arctic with the PK. Trying to stop him straight in the face. But this is going to full send Aurora. They're going to make a play. You know they've got the movement on their side. And here we go. G7 scout from the top. This should be an easy cleanup for them. And they take it. Aurora get that match for the last one on World's Edge for now.

02:21:10 Well, I think you have to give it to FaZe Clan as well there, because they made the first move, essentially saying, all right, we'll give it to Aurora. We're playing for second. They get second. They got what they wanted, and so did Aurora. I suppose that, you know, even though they lost that high ground to FaZe of the evac play, they managed to pull away and then come back when the time was right. There's a lot of teams that are exploiting the weaknesses of this Aurora roster, right? You got the Bangalore, the Lifeline, the Path.

02:21:39 They don't have a lot of defenses outside from the Bangalore smoke. And when you're up close, you know, with the changes, you kind of get that white outline, right? So everyone that just really gets the space closed between Aurora, they just kind of run away, which I'm really shocked that they didn't lose anyone on those two disengages, especially when FaZe popped up to the top of the rock. We still managed to retreat to the train line and keep everyone intact.

02:22:04 Yeah, and you've just got to also think about how important those early couple of fights were as well, right? I mean, when Alliance flew in, I mean, I was surprised that their feet even hit the ground, to be honest. Usually when you're up there on those train tracks, the only thing you are looking out for is someone flying in on top of you, and you should be laser-focused on that, like burning them out of the sky as soon as you can. Somehow they actually managed to land there, and the fight happened a little bit later. They still lost, but it was interesting they even made it into that position.

02:22:33 choice by Aurora, and not something you see a lot of them deciding to go well out into the zone and just say, look, you guys take this for the moment, and then come back in when the moment was right, when Ninjas in Pajamas had complicated things a little bit. That turned out to be essentially a match-winning play.

02:22:51 I mean, look, they wrap away with 19 points from that game. Seven eliminations, probably one of the best games I've seen from Aurora, this split in general. And FaZe Clan, 19 points. Look, 10 eliminations, pretty strong. And honestly, you look down, Trojan was able to grab 10 also. So that's pretty impressive throughout their rotation.

02:23:12 Ich meine, ja, sie waren, ich glaube, mit PhaseClan, bevor PhaseClan eliminated sie. So, um, sie sind ziemlich solid. Ich glaube, sie sind in den mid-30s. Ich bin sicher, wir werden zu das später. Aber ja, look, ein BIRG-GAME da für die Top 4, das bleibt ein paar KP-KP für die Bottom-Teams.

02:23:31 Also, die BOTTOM TEAMS hier, Cybercats in 17th, nur able to grab one Elimination, one point, which brings them to 47 points, so just shy of that 50 threshold. But you talked about it, you got Navi, who died relatively early on. Alliance trying to make that rotate for the power position, just kind of gets that cut out from them. So let's go ahead and bring up...

02:23:53 Some stats from that match, because those are the two teams that looked so wildly good. Your top two teams, Aurora and FaZe Clan. Look at this. FaZe Clan with almost 4k damage there. Aurora, as we noted, played a little passively at times, and that...

02:24:10 ...meant that they didn't have quite as much damage overall, because they were able to control the space without having to, you know, lift a finger sometimes. Ooh, now let's look at those series results. I kinda did the math for y'all on the CyberCats, so you know they were just shy of 50. But FaZe Clan really doing a lot to breach that distance, sitting at 41 points. And then Aurora, after that win, have found themselves at 36. Alliance and Trojan kind of wrapping on up there, and stay healthy in the 30s as well.

02:24:40 Now I'm starting to think about what Graceful said in that, right? How many teams are we going to get on that inevitable match point, Genome? It's a question that's still to be answered, and I think CyberCats are going to be asking some questions of themselves, because, you know, you get five or six points in an average game. They needed four below average to grab that match point eligibility, and they couldn't do it.

02:25:03 Well, look, you know what they have done? They've shown us they can win on World's Edge. They've shown us they can win on Storm Point. But we are going to cut to a quick break. And after this, we're going back to Storm Point. CyberCats, can you get to 50? Can you wrap it on up or do we keep going?

02:26:52 BattleBeaver ist der öffentliche Controller Partner der Apex Legends Global Series.

02:27:05 Ich bin Rene von Spider-Tiff. Wir werden uns über die Aktionen sprechen. Wir waren gerade über die Anime, die lustig sind. Last Woche, du hast mich mit Set Your Heart Ablaut. Das ist natürlich von... Ich kann nicht glauben, ich bin in dieser neuen Fantasyland mit all diesen neuen Best-Frienden. Just kidding. No, natürlich von our amazing Demon Slayer. Aber, you know, wir sehen uns, wer kann die Demons slayen. Weil Alliance, ich denke, sie sind Nummer 1, so zu sprechen. Und, honestly, da sind viele Teams...

02:27:34 Das war sehr clean, besonders auf der South Side.

02:27:45 Ich war sehr schockt, dass die beiden voll-Send sind, weil ich mich gefragt habe. Was ist das, was das zu sein wird? Und warum sind wir bereits zu kicken, besonders mit Go-next zu verlieren? Aber Arshtick hat so viel Arbeit mit der PBK zu eliminieren Go-next, aber es war nur ein bisschen zu late. Auroravin tasked mit so einem einfachen clean-up aus dem Highground, dass sie wieder zurückkehren, und dann einfach zu gehen, und dann einfach zu gehen. Ich glaube, das war das erste...

02:28:13 Matt win of Split 2 in general, Rain Day. Yeah, and that was a big moment for them as well. Puts them in the position to have a chance to vie for a match point. But Graceville said it was very difficult to expect a team that's not in our top five, our usual winners, to win a match point. He brought it up in a specific way, though, and it's something that I always like thinking about, theorizing about, because, you know...

02:28:38 Everything going to plan as it should is rarely what ends up happening in the ALGS, especially when you put the stakes of Matchpoint on. A lot of teams in that moment, if they see a Mad Maggie, like he was saying, where, you know, a team like Cybercats would be in that position, oh, they just alt-int them. But is that really what happens in a it's me or you kind of situation? Is that how people actually behave? Do they think more about themselves? Do they think about, well, I can't win this game.

02:29:05 Ich habe eine Chance, ich muss eine gute Chance haben, ich muss einen K.P. haben. Sie vergessen die große Scheme, manchmal, und werden sie in die Aktion getrennt. All das sind die Menschen-Elemente, die ich denke, wir können nicht ganz genau sagen, dass wir eine Unique-Winne haben, obwohl wir wahrscheinlich einen Stapel haben.

02:29:23 Yeah, I guess it all really comes down to the wire, especially when no one's hit that match point threshold just yet. And now we're kind of bringing back to Stormpoint. So it's going to be interesting considering Cybercats, they got 21 points from their first maps on Stormpoint. Alliance, well, they got 34. They didn't really acquire...

02:29:45 Many points, if any, from World's Edge. And it's going to be tough. Can they grab the last 16 points they need now that we've moved back here to put them in that win condition here? Well, we saw this in earlier maps of Stormpoint. An aggressive Aurora looking for any opening there from the team at Launchpad. Kazak has had some big shoes to fill, taking over the role of Grim Reaper.

02:30:11 If you have missed some of our earlier or later match days where we talked about this story, Hardeki, a big member of Aurora, no longer a part of it in this split, and the change kind of sent waves through what was, in L.A., probably our number one team in EMEA that we thought had a chance to win the trophy. They've shifted, and Kozak has taken that role on well, but getting back to LAN is obviously the goal. There's a lot at stake. A win would guarantee it for a team like Aurora. They're closing in.

02:30:38 With 36 points currently sitting in 3rd at the match point threshold of 50. So will they be able to push it through this game? Let's find out. Things becoming a little clearer though, Vicky. What they'll have to do is we've now got an eye on our first circle. Of course, of course. I'm sorry. No, it's totally fine. I will be Vicky. Well, you know. Let me go dye my hair red and try to get some of those epic weapon sounds. You're both so good. That's the thing, yeah. I could never be like Vicky. But hey, enough about that.

02:31:07 Let's look at this circle, right? Because we're pulling towards that Cenote Cave where players, they do land there. Not only do they have the ring console, they've got a survey beacon. So a team that's really good from Cenote Cave would be Aurora. They're going to be experienced with those zones. My question is over in Devastated Coast, do they read this? Do they know where they want to play? Because yes, they are so fun to have endgames in Cenote. I say fun. Players probably don't agree with me in general because of how chaotic they get because of the choke points that are required to get into Cenote.

02:31:36 Ja, ich meine, ich meine, die Geometrie ist, wie in die Zone ist, ich meine, du hast einen oder zwei Main Chokepoints, vielleicht drei, und du hast nur 75% von den Lobby durchgeführt. Wir haben bereits acht Teams so far da, Nottes Fincira zu sein. A shout-out to die Squad we're watching hier, Matafe, auf dem Temporary Blue.

02:32:03 And of course, soon to be up there with just 66 Evo before. As Prowlers will give you some of that Evo charge, not as sincere. Gladly will take advantage of that. Hop back into Trident and try to find the spot of choice. Of course, there's some ring consoles and a Survey Beacon right here. So hopefully playing off of that information, just seeing where the next zone will be and also making sure they get an eye on who's in what building so far because it is starting to get a little crowded even this early.

02:32:31 See, that's exactly what happens. And when you think of all the buildings that get taken up, you can already see Pash in UA. They've got theirs fenced up. Then you've got Gaming Gladiators kind of just to the north of them. Navi's going to bring up the rear. Jukes from Players is bringing the Trident back towards the teammates. And FA Kids are starting to walk in on that south side where Navi has found themselves. But teams like Cybercats, FaZe Clan, ANC Outplayed, they're still approaching down from that southeastern side of things. And they'll likely all run into Barometer where there is a server.

02:33:01 Aber für Gaiman, du musst einfach anbieten und anbieten anbieten anbieten. 95% für Bangalore, als Sie sehen auf der Bühne an der Bühne.

02:33:15 Widely been considered the most open meta in the ALGS in a long time. And you can see it right there. Even Crypto and Gibraltar being picked. The second highest though will be Fuse. So if you look at something that is the staple, it's Bang. If you look at something that's probably rotating right around it, it's the Fuse. Pathfinder, Seer, and surprisingly the Bloodhound here. Cybercats, Alonzi adding to that pick alongside the Gibraltar. One pick here from Cleave throwing down the Dome Shield.

02:33:44 Und ich sage, es gibt viele Teams, die werden von diesem Angle kommen. Wir brauchen den Swing, wir investieren in die Beast of the Hunt. Wir bekommen eine Full. Es bringt uns um zu 48, wenn wir aus Andi-Jax. Aber wo ist PhaseClan?

02:34:11 eigentlich in Barometer itself. Have the Evac Tower in play, and maybe they're focusing on just getting into Cenote, knowing how difficult it is, and they're still eight points away, so it's going to be more for them, but FA Kids found themselves a home, and that's gonna be Stay Healthy's building. They lose the biggest firepower there in Zidane, but Kyner and J Savage do the work that's required, and they get the job done with a full wipe.

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Entscheidungen im späteren Spielverlauf

02:34:37

02:34:37 And a reset potentially. The banner hopefully getting recovered soon. But at least they're up as a 2. It's starting to get a little dangerous in there. Exoclan, Feudaslayer's Case Winning. They don't have the shield advantage, but they've got the numbers advantage. And that's going to be a major element to it. There is a res beacon nearby too. So does somebody try to smoke off? Do they try to basically play a little tricky? Do they have a mobile respawn beacon? They can play safely behind themselves. As you can see, nothing could be safe here. It's from the top channel.

02:35:05 There are teams looking down at ExoClan, so even if they peek their head out a little bit, they are getting gatekept from really pushing Zidane and Squad. It's kind of interesting, right, because there's still a ring console in play, but we always talk about the risk versus reward, but it looks like Zidane might actually be getting brought back in with a mobile there as well, but...

02:35:26 Eternal on your screen here with Blacklist International just ahead of them. Go Next Esports in the fray as well. Could be a big issue here. If a fight breaks out, there's going to likelihood be a third and fourth party, which I don't know. A lot of these teams do need as many points as possible, knowing that Eternal alone are 36 points away from 50. And if they want to get moving, now is the chance, because the likelihood of two teams going on to match point after this game are very real.

02:35:55 Oh, yeah!

02:36:23 Das war so gut, Reinde. Er war so, oh, no, joke's on you, no Vantage, and, well, no more ANC outplayed here as Alliance.

02:36:39 Seeking themselves to get as many points as they can. Now, mind you, they had a 28-point game earlier. And largely, that would be attributed to unlucky. And I saw the timeline go absolutely crazy. That clip just going everywhere. And it's just, hopefully, they can double it down and make that rotation. And as you can see, they're on that western side. So we're gaming gladiators. Maybe Navi. Those are the teams that are going to have to worry about that alliance threat. But teams that are still working their way on in.

02:37:08 Ninja's in pajamas, but look who's made it in. Cybercats, we're still looking for 50, though. Cats, I love this position. They've got the zipline there, a little bit of retreat if they need it, but pressure, sights galore, ammo as well. Things are looking good in the Cybercats' house, two points away. So I think the conversation is play confident, but don't get too aggressive. They got the Gibraltar in case they needed to back off as well. They've gone for the Gibraltar perk.

02:37:37 The Dome of Fortitude, essentially, is what I'm calling it. I don't know if that's the exact name or not, but it's not Baby Bubble, which would give you two choices of that Gibraltar shield, albeit they would have faster cooldowns and be just a little bit smaller. But this one is plus four duration on the shield, so having a little extra stall time in case things do go awry. As Zone 3 is starting to become It's Time to Shine.

02:38:02 With a lot of the Cenote Caves pulling out towards like center areas away from buildings, I think that Gibby Dome is going to come in so clutch for Endgame. So be curious to see where they've positioned themselves as of right now in that next circle. They're anchoring down in the northeast. They've managed to take hold of a choke and they've got a main building. Now they're just outside of this tunnel position, which the likelihood of teams looking to play from tunnel and rotate in from there are very real. And the team that's actually doing it, Aurora.

02:38:31 And they just got scanned. And they did get scanned right there. They said, you know, we see you in so many different ways. If you want to come over here, you will have to pay. The Pied Piper, Alonzi, currently sitting in that role. Gets maybe a little bit of tax as well for staying too long. Now paying is due. A nice shot from away will be 50 damage. He'll heal that up with some shield cells. No need to rush or utilize a battery there as we get a bit of an overview from Eternal, where they met.

02:38:59 They found themselves chasing ANC Outplay, finished that off, and now running into NIP. Still, the battle for the North continues as GoNex Esports find themselves on the better side of this, sitting ahead of both of these teams. So pay attention to that callout. We'll see if that has a difference as Alliance, our number third squad, our first so far in EMEA, trying to make an entrance on the southwest side of Cenote Cave.

02:39:23 You see, the issue here is this would have been difficult if Navi hadn't full wiped Gaiman Gladiators, because Gaiman Gladiators would have been the biggest threat to Alliance pushing in from this side. So I don't know if you want to go think kinda personally, but you probably need to. Now, Navi has found themselves in the building, and Effect is kind of...

02:39:41 Playing forward, right? Scouting for those positions. Unlucky just behind him. And Effect seems to have found himself in the building, getting Mixi earlier with that Turbocharged Havoc. And, you know, he's running on back. Double time kicking it. Like, Unlucky, I need you. Come clutch. No, I'm just kidding. Such good cover fire. And the double time is perfect as well. Just kind of saw what could they get. That's the difficulty.

02:40:04 in sieging and holding these buildings, because you fight so much, you use a lot of resources. If you win the fight, great. You get to reset, you get the shields, you get the resources from the enemies you took down. But how do you hold again and again, especially when you're dealing with a fuse? And that's the thing that they've got to work on. They were very, very vulnerable there. I think Hockeyz was calling just the anchor shots from the IGL position and saying, you know, let's just, let's check in. Is there an opening? If not, pull back. But if they had all pushed there, that was definitely an opportunity.

02:40:33 for Navi to lose that building. And it could have been Alliance sitting there pretty as well. So Navi maybe get a little lucky. NIP maybe get a little lucky as well as they take down Eternal right there and pick Zayn back up, adding three desperately needed points to their tally. Yeah, I mean, we've got a team wipe there. We're not into Cenote just yet, but maybe this is the time where we start chaining those Ult XLs together. You got Amphi who has two to get that exhibit back.

02:40:58 Das war CyberCats.

Matchpoint erreicht: Cybercats sichern sich die erste Chance auf den Sieg

02:41:27

02:41:27 All the eliminations that Ninjas in Pajamas needs, you might need to take the more aggressive way in and just eliminate them all, especially if you want to live up to that Nasky tweet where you're winning Sunday. I hear that. I hear that. But this zone just feels like it's predeterminate for them, Tiff. I don't know why. This is not a place that I've seen NIP succeed from often lately. It's not that they can't.

02:41:51 Aber es wird ein viel zu sein, weil sie müssen durch Gonex und CyberCats werden, dann werden sie durch Aurora, Danisch DMS werden, dann werden sie mit den Teams sitzen in Snotte Cave haben. Es ist so viel zu tun. Es ist nicht so viel zu tun. Aber ich würde nicht sagen, dass ich das Wort count habe, bevor ich in meine Essay den nächsten Tag, als ein professionell Procrastinator in der Schule. Ich liebe die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit.

02:42:18 It's going to be tough. And yeah, they take some shots at to Blacklist. But honestly, what that does is make Blacklist go towards that tunnel where ninjas and pajamas can focus on that Cybercats choke point. They've already known that Cybercats have a building there and they're likely going to look to retreat. But for Blacklist, we've got a tall order here through the tunnel. And yeah, I guess that's a good way to open things up. We can still double and go back.

02:42:43 But once you get caught out here, and with just over a minute to go, you don't really have a lot of options. Yeah, this is it. Blacklist trying to siege through this very, very small, very open corridor with Aurora. FaZe Clan realizes it's Enetic. They'll be on the other side of this, and they just want the points as well. So this is tough for Blacklist. Nag, Enetic, Hierarcha. The two N1 players involved in this. Stuck between a Rock and a Hemlock.

02:43:12 Es ist ein Knucklepluster back, so Nettek will pull off from that. Es ist ein guter Bewegung. Es ist ein schwerer Platz für Blacklist zu kommen.

02:43:19 In Phase Land, they're being a little more conservative here, right? Yeah, they are. And they have to be. They're eight points away. If they can hit Match Point on 50 this game, this is going to set them up for success because we know that CyberCats still has not hit it, albeit they're still alive. So there goes that focus of attention. You're right, does not connect, but does it do enough to scare off Blacklist International so we can focus on our rotation at hand? Weirdly enough, Aurora gives it up, so Blacklist can move forward. I think that was just a good play of showing force.

02:43:48 Blacklist, I don't think they wanted to rotate to the left. FaZe Clan made sure they couldn't, and that clears things up for FaZe Clan. So FaZe Clan doing what they need. No one's playing at their back. But Aurora give it up, and I think they just see a better spot to hold, especially with the zone becoming clearer. They may not have been able to hit a beacon at that point and seen where the zone would pull. And so now they know it's pulling far, far west, at least for now. So they've got a position.

02:44:12 Even more West cyber cats though really is this the story two points away even just from KP there should be a lot in this zone if they can find themselves in it but currently I Think they're just right outside of it. So cyber cats. Will they be safe here? I don't know but certainly to KP seem possible

02:44:30 They're one away. Don't die here. You can't die here. We hit the zip. We throw the Gibby Bubble down. We are safe for now. We love those energized zip lines. And there's the knock. Is that the 50? Okay, our first team on match point, Cybercats. We don't care if they win here because they just need to win a different game outside this. And knowing that they have five teams to their north, the next minute of this game is going to be wild. And Blacklist International, they're kicking off the Chaos in the north. That could have gone so bad.

02:44:59 Das war so schnell. Es war ein Terrible für die Südwesten für viele diese Teams.

02:45:29 als wir vielleicht, vielleicht starten zu haben, mit Rund 5 zu kommen.

02:45:36 And we're looking for more teams to hit Match Point, right? And Aurora on 41 points. Phase Clan, they died with 42. So they're not going to be able to make Match Point here. They'll have to give it a go in the next Storm Point. But Aurora, keep your eyes on them. Now, mind you, think of all the times they've spent landing in Cenote and their familiarity with every inch of this space. Now, they found themselves on the Far East with not a lot of good buildings. They're going to wait for that rotate.

02:46:05 They need nine more points. Three full team wipes or a win. Whatever that's going to make happen for them, they need to play it safe. And Alliance, man, they've rotated it on the perfect side. They've taken the space of this next circle. And it's only a matter of time before they look to clutch this up. 11 points away as well. It'll be obvious by now. If anyone saw it, that Gibraltar bubble on the outside of that building, giving people a pretty good indication.

02:46:33 ... ... ... ... ...

02:46:51 Extra goodies in the bag that they can bring home. But Alliance, they want to join them. Aurora wants to join them as well. There's actually two teams who could somehow find their way onto Matchpoint as well here. But Aurora are falling. Nine Impulse is so close to going down. He's going to Shield Swap quickly. He gets an extra 25. Aurora, one man alive. And I just don't know if this is going to be enough for them.

02:47:14 No, I mean, look, when you're down to this many squads, you need eliminations with a win. And Exoclan, they're on 31. They would need a massive game here, and I don't see any eliminations. Therefore, it's not likely going to happen here, even into the top five. And there comes the first eliminations for them, too, so far. Knowing that Navi is just sharing the building upstairs with them, that'll be quite interesting. I hear some zips coming through. Cats down there on that south.

02:47:43 Eastern Side have the attention here from Alliance. Oh, they try to make a move. CyberCats eliminated those. Just too many. Too many guns. And here's where Alliance starts to take shape. 44 points on top of the rock. Effect. Unlucky. Hockies. It feels like they've just been biding their time, but they lose one quickly. Hockies goes down. And this is unlucky.

02:48:06 Trying to get him back up alive. Effect hits the shots, but it's on the Energize. Zip line only does half the damage. And that saves a life right there. It does. And Navi has moved themselves on top of Alliance and Impulse. Oiren down to a duo. There goes Impulse. And they're going to keep on trying to hit this res if they can. And no one pushes them. But Alliance with six points, keeping them away from that match.

02:48:29 Now 47, 3 away. Aurora has fallen. Alliance could clutch up and hit Matchpoint this game. Very interesting. Obviously gonna have 50% less damage from Explosives as well. That could be a big difference. Trying to bait out the Zip. See what they do. Can they get a poke? Who's gonna make this play though? Is it maybe Hockey's to swing up? There's a smoke now. All Alliance need to do is win. They do not really need to worry about anything, any kills here. But Exoclan, they need it just as badly.

02:48:55 A team that's currently sitting around that kind of 8th position has to have a performance to secure land. To go to Germany, it would be terrible if Case Winnie was not able to go back. One of our longest standing pro players in EMEA. Alliance, they lose another one. And Tiff, it's just balancing on a knife's edge here with three squads left.

02:49:14 We're focusing on the res here for effect. Fyuta down from Exoclan, with Navi from the high ground. They're able to put so much pressure on not only Alliance, but Exoclan. They're poised to potentially win this, and if they can stop Alliance from hitting 50 points, this would be so tragic. Once again, trying to stick that res, but Exoclan, they're making their move now. Wow, and that's it. They're not going to do it. Unbelievable, Exoclan!

02:49:41 Stopp Alliance from hitting Matchpoint. And it is just Exo and Na'Vi in a 3v3 to try to find the win. Not a Spin Seer. Can they clutch it up? It's Matafe. He's been trying to do it. And now, at this point, he's got to make some type of gamble. Does he try to heal this off? Does he have a med kit in tow? I'm not sure he does. And so we might just have to go down and make a play or hope that the circle closes in on them. It's not going to be a difference, Tiff. This certainly will be a heal off.

02:50:10 Und will Matafé und Navi win? Ich will! Was?

02:50:27 Matafe machte nicht mit den Teammaten auf den Lowen Ground. Sieht, ihr seid, geht für die Auslastung von den Highen Ground. Und ich denke, wenn man wirklich schaut, es muss nur auf den Trennen sein sein.

ExoClan verhindert Matchpoint für Alliance, Cybercats profitieren

02:50:43

02:50:43 No space underneath. You know, some of the trees, they do have space underneath. There's the large overcropping where you saw Hockey's and them playing. But the way the zone pulled, there was just no choice. And unbelievable for MexoClan to go ahead and take down Alliance to stop another team being on Matchpoint. That benefits CyberCats. But not as Vincere. They get the extra win with, you know, not getting that KP. However, it is a big boon for them. A team.

02:51:07 led by Matafe, who's got so many fans, and Amias certainly wants to make a statement, and who I think a lot of people have thought could win today, Tiff.

02:51:15 I mean, that's very true. They have a good possibility of doing so, but I can't wait to see what that series result is looking like because we know that Alliance was your right. They stopped them. They were one full team wipe away from Matchpoint, which is so close because then you have to hit Matchpoint in your next game and you wouldn't go on eligibility till the game after. And if we already had Cybercats on Matchpoint eligibility, which they are, they locked it in that game.

02:51:42 That's a lot of time to allow CyberCats to look to take it.

02:51:45 Und die Wahrheit ist, für den Rest der Lobby, das ist die beste Sache möglich. Weil wir zurückkommen zu dieser Situation, was passiert, wenn man einen Gibraltar oder einen Maggi sieht, aber wenn die Allianz da ist, dann kann man das Team nicht. Und das macht es mehr gefährlich für den Rest der Lobby, wenn man zwei hat. Jetzt ist die Situation, wo niemand kann gewinnen, als Cybercats gewinnen. Wenn wir diese Team sehen, und wir wahrscheinlich nicht gewinnen können, können wir einfach alles machen. Das beginnt zu machen.

02:52:14 But it's a whole different thing to actually do it, Tiff. The mental's got to be there. Teams are starting to feel the stress. Nadis Fincier taking 22 points in that game. Exoclan was 17. Alliance right behind. But that 8 from Cybercats is enough to push them over and be our first team on Matchpoint in the Mian.

02:52:30 It really is. Now, let's jump on over to that second page to see where FaZe had wound up, right? In 16th place, one point. Now, mind you, that was a team that was making conservative calls, looking to hit 50, knowing that they were just nine points away coming into this game. But unfortunately...

02:52:46 They're not going to hit it. We have to GG go again for them. But Ninjas in Pajamas, look, they were the one that got really unlucky with that late arrival into Cenote. Not really sure which way they were going to approach. And it just kind of fell apart from there. It was a great game from Henchmen. And Kinda, you could see three kills from Kinda, six from Henchmen on the Pathfinder. And it was really the retake of the high ground that probably sealed the deal and could have been the difference maker. Alliance will be looking.

02:53:16 und vielleicht, wenn die Cybercats nicht gewonnen haben, warum sie nicht in die Region Finals gewonnen haben, weil sie nicht in die Region Finals gewonnen haben, weil sie nicht in die Region Finals gewonnen haben, weil das Nottis Vinciere kurz war, mit Henchman auf den Pathfinder und die gewinnen Position gewonnen haben. Cybercats, 55 total points, viele andere Sachen, aber das ist die wichtigste Sache, aber das ist die wichtigste Sache. Es könnte enden.

02:53:39 It very well could, but for Alliance, Aurora, FaZe Clan, Exo, even Navi and Trojan, those are the squads that are within striking distance to be able to go on to that match point threshold in the next map. So keep your eyes all on them. Stay healthy. I mean, 19 points, it's very viable that they could do it, but it would just be a little more difficult.

02:54:02 I mean, it's a big deal for a lot of these teams as well. So many of these spots are not available, really. You would have to win or go home. There's still hope, and especially for a team in 18th place right now, to do the unthinkable, be that Cinderella story, and make it to land by getting a W. All of that coming up here in our next game, right after this.

Cybercats dominieren weiterhin, während andere Teams um Matchpoint kämpfen

02:55:58

02:55:58 Everyone, one team at Matchpoint, four other squads that could easily hit Matchpoint this upcoming game. I'm Vicky Kitty, I'm back, and I'm joined with Genome, and we got game number six coming around the corner. I don't think there's gonna be a Genome. If there's anything Matchpoint has ever taught us...

02:56:13 Es ist, dass das weit weg ist. Aber ihr wisst, was diese Teams sind für? Warum ist es so nah an den Topen? Es ist, dass sie für die Möglichkeit für die Möglichkeit zu spielen in Mannheim, Deutschland. Guys, ihr könnt euch nicht verlieren, dass ihr eine weitere Herausforderung in einem neuen Land zu spielen. Jahr 4, ihr könnt uns natürlich auf Twitch.tv slash Play Apex jetzt, aber sicherzustellen das QR-Code.

02:56:37 It's going to be insane. Make sure to go to algs.ea.com to take care of all the information that you need to also attend in Mannheim, Germany. It's going to be absolutely insane. I cannot wait. It is literally around the corner, Genome, and currently CyberCats sitting in first place with the Gibby composition nonetheless on Stormpoint again.

02:57:06 Ich meine, es gibt ein paar throwbacks hier. Die Heal-Off-Finish haben wir für Super Sankt. Ich habe nicht gesehen, dass sie einen Moment haben. Und die Compositions, auch. Sie sind Gibraltar, Sie sind Pathfinder in der Meta. Es ist wie die guten alten Zeiten, Vicky.

02:57:23 Ich liebe es, ich liebe es. Es ist die beste Apex zu sehen in einem sehr lange Zeit, in der nicht nur die Legend-Diversität, aber dann in Situationen wie dieses, Metaphe auf den Highgraf und Exo, nach dem Spiel, sind jetzt 42 Punkte. Every Point Counts, jetzt haben wir drei andere Teams, aside von Exo, die sind in den 40 Punkt Rage. So, look at das. Ich meine, was hier ist es? Jumping for Joy, ist wie ich würde sagen. Metaphe ist...

02:57:49 Just bounce it around happily, like, yeah, what are they gonna do? I'm up here alone. Actually crazy. It's nice now being able to see CyberCats taking two games, but now the dub coming up now, you know, that's where it matters as we go back over to Storm Point where CyberCats has already taken a dub both.

02:58:08 on Stormpoint and World's Edge. But can that consistency stay true when you're the only team in this lobby that stands out like a sword thrown? And what I mean by that is that you're the only team rocking a Gibby. And for those of you guys that tuned into our halftime show, Graceful worded it perfectly. That is literally the indicator for other squads to know, oh, this team's at match point. We can int this squad so that way we can make sure we get even more points and keep these games going. Yeah, and...

02:58:36 I guess that's the question now, is the teams are picking their Legends as we speak, and we're getting a good view of where all these teams are. Lammy, of course, coming over back again, you know, to Storm Point. The fact that they've won games on both maps when they were 18th seed, I mean, how did they even get Echo HQ from 18th seed? That's my other question, Vicky. Look, there's a lot going on here with CyberCats, which is...

02:59:04 Honestly, hard to believe, but if you're a fan of them, I'm sure there are some true believers out there who think that they can come away with a third win and be one of the first teams in a very long time to pick up a match point win from the bottom of the barrel. You have to put emphasis on that. That is insane. They need to win first to be able to qualify.

02:59:28 Super smart, I love this. Having a look around, I think they're actually the only team on that.

02:59:56 Which is kind of funny, right? Because in one way, it's sort of similar to what we talked about, like they're the only team on that composition. But will any of the other teams actually recognize that they're the only team playing that composition? Because as you said, it's different to what they were playing in the last game. It's a little suspicious not seeing a Bangalore. The only team to not have a Bangalore on their squad as we take a look at where this circle is pulling as Alliance.

03:00:23 are going to be thriving here on this north side of the zone. Not only do they have two evil harvesters, they got positioning advantage. They're going to be able to sit in a better spot looking at the teams that are probably going to get ahead of the curve and try to go for these quick road takes like we are currently seeing with Danish. Yeah, I mean, look, I was pretty vocal about, you know, that...

03:00:43 Designfall and Disguise using the Wraith instead of a Bangalore was honestly a non-optimal play. So I am surprised to see Cybercats are running without it here. But, you know, I'm surprised that I'm not surprised because it's Cybercats and they just seem to do what they want. And today it's absolutely working. But, I mean, there's a reason that she is at a 95% pick rate right now in this lobby, Vicky. And that's because...

03:01:06 Uh, her kit is just so versatile that the rotational options that the smokes give you are almost unbeatable. Uh, and of course the aggressive and defensive potential of her ultimate is, uh, yeah, it's just so versatile.

03:01:21 So I like the creative strategies that we've seen from a team like Saberkats when they had utilized the game. But in this case and looking at their POI, it's going to be quite a trek here as Gaming Gladiators now looking like they're in a lot of trouble. Still on white as Danish now moves in with the blue Evos considering there's an Evo Harvester over to their left. But they got the jump on Gaming Gladiators while they were on their way to that Evo Harvester.

03:01:46 I think teams are starting to pick up on that more and more, right? Incorporating that into their game plans. You need to have your wits about you whenever you find yourself near an EVO Harvester, because you know that other teams are going to be prioritizing those and their position as well. Man, we're gonna have a lot of areas going to assist, but Hockies gets taken out and now Alliance down to a duel. Not what you want to see when you have 47 points at the moment. I love these cracks. He's essentially sending out effect.

03:02:15 to be able to claim that banner at the very least and then dip away. And it's smart. Sending out your Bangalore there. He does get caught with his friendly Motherload. So he's going to be able to get out of the fray, but also have some insurance too. That was great. That was huge there for Alliance.

03:02:31 It's a hard position. I mean, I'm just trying to go through the thought process. Like, you're three points away. You can see them calling it a Moby there, so extremely important. But yeah, look, all right, we'll go into this fight and we can dip into that thought a little bit later. Got a lot going on here on multiple sides of this map as F8 kids get the crack, get the beam here. Connor's going to be able to pop this shield bat in time, taking this a little bit slower. It's a beast of the hunt now.

03:02:57 Exactly, Hakkis has been respawned.

03:03:25 Extremely important. Um, cause yeah, as I was saying, it's like, you know, the thought process, do you go, uh, you're three points away. Do you think you can get those three points as just a duo or do you make a risky play in order to get your third back and give you a much better chance of, uh, grabbing those three points? It's, it's genuinely a hard decision, but, um, considering they've got him back in and they're good for now, uh, it seems like it was the right play from Alliance.

03:03:53 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.

03:04:22 Blacklist hat versucht seine Team an, und da wir gehen! Passion UA ist in 19th Place. Blacklist hat, ihr wisst, über die Bildung. Das wird später kommen, als die anderen 5-8 Teams, die in den South-West- und South-East-Sides der Map, kommen über ihre Position.

03:04:47 Now looking at teams like FaZe, Genetic. Good bit of damage here. Got the shield cells ready to go. But it was for the fight by the Evil Harvester. They wanted to get some extra information on that beacon.

03:05:00 Talking about a little bit of a trek, they're still in front of FA Kids, by the way, who are trailing right behind them. So that way they also have access to that beacon to their south side downhill. But as they go through Command Center, a team like Atlas is waiting on the other side here. There is a Survey Beacon there, as well as an Evo Harvester. And I keep highlighting this because this is where you could expect the pathing for some of these teams that do have a far enough POI that they have to make this trek. So they get that information on their way over, as well as Evo Charge.

03:05:30 A lot of things to consider. Whoa! Ninjas in pyjamas. They're considering their next move. I want to just play by the nuts here, but you can see they're trying to scan, work out if there's anyone sitting around. They see the ring, and it shifts away from them. A little bit sad, but it will be... There's a half-dacing position to stage from here.

03:05:56 They are worrying about a third although we're still sitting out behind those rocks in the sea Definitely agree there especially when you're coming from this side although there is that bit of an open ground through the waters But you know that your backs are cleared from any of the teams that may rotate from the wall as we tune into phase here And they get on the other side of command center. Let's jump into listening with phase as they make their next move They don't want to hit you every they're meeting him that's good. Do you want to hit UV yes?

03:06:24 Es ist nicht auf die Rippe, es ist nicht auf die Rippe

03:06:53 Ja, alles ist frei? Ja, alles ist frei

03:07:27 How many bats do we have?

03:07:32 Stopp process for FaZe hier, while they plan where they want to rotate to, just being able to clear out where some of these buildings are going to be at, while on the other side waiting for them on that choke, it's going to be Blacklist currently, who have popped Beasts of the Hunt, trying to engage on NIP that we saw earlier inside of those DBZ dome buildings, but on the other side of the edge of the circle is Eternal, who are essentially pinching NIP. Look at the positioning they have, out in the waters by those rocks, natural landscape here to play off of an angle, but they're going to back away now.

03:08:02 Ja, es war ein Back-and-Forth-Before-Blacklist-International-Pulled-up. Und dann, als du gesagt hast, sie formen die andere Pinsa-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme-Arme

03:08:25 Blacklist International are in the... They're in the nuts that are inside the zone, and Ninjas are not, so they will have to make a move sometime in the next minute. You can see Zayn just trying to find a spot now to put that Evo down, but taking so much damage in the process of doing it. Do you think they'll even be able to get onto this?

03:08:44 This is going to be really hard. Like, they've even used the smoke already preemptively. Look at the mother load on top of that there, too, with the evac tower being right next to them, highlighting exactly where they are. No time as the ring is closing in. It is round two closing, so you can at least kind of coexist a bit in that circle. But you're also lacking on meds after a quick rotation. So we got to see a Cybercats, another team on that evac tower, going to be able to try to find a spot here. Let's not forget, this is a team that is looking for the dub, not trying to be at match points. They're already beyond that.

03:09:13 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.

03:09:33 Literally toss everything. You're juggling like you're in the circus right now. And Ilanzi can't even reset. He didn't even have health to begin with here. Now forced to pop the shield bat. Ranch is right there. Man, it would be a shame of a knuckle cluster because it was hurtled in their direction. But at least they have a little bit of time to breathe. There's two teams looking at them with Hockey's also just sharking around behind them.

Alliance erreicht Matchpoint, strategische Spielzüge und überraschende Wendungen

03:09:56

03:09:56 Ja, ein paar andere Teams sind definitiv looking für die Kills und wollen die Kills. Ich meine, natürlich, wir haben... Die Spieler und die Teams können nicht sehen die Namen in die Killfeed, so sie werden nicht sicher sein, dass es Cybercats sind, und als wir schon erwähnt, sie haben eine Composition-Change gemacht, so eine andere Wrench-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Warsch-In-The-Wars

03:10:24 down and out, but still, two of them left, you never know. Lucky had claimed a kill earlier on too, and with Cyberkats being so close to Alliance, currently Alliance just need two more KP to be qualifying right now in match points. They lose out on Ranches, though, from behind them. That is go next right now. Gonna be able to get that first knock. Lundzee gonna be able to try to get this res here, but there's somebody right in front of them. Again, Alliance was right there looking at them. Cyberkats now just trying to stay alive. Lundzee could only do so much off this low ground.

03:10:53 Ah, es ist nicht zu B. Pops the bat at just the wrong time there. And the peek over at the top will be the end of Cybercats. Apex Legends. Enjoyers. Rejoice. We go to match seven.

03:11:07 We go next, and guess what? Alliance meets Cybercats at Matchpoint. That was the kill that they needed. They are currently sitting at 50 points. Now they have to win a game that isn't this one to be the winners of the Regional Finals. The fighting has not stopped now. Genome FaZe now looking at a different angle, looking at Blackhand, looking to approach.

03:11:28 Yeah, look, not just Matchpoint, but also Godspot, honestly, over there. These teams down on the south side have got a lot more fighting to do before they get in a good spot like Alliance. Faze Clan has got a lot to do to come back from this raw position that Synetic finds himself in. And it's not just them here, too, that Blacklist is trying to engage on. Atlas is coming in. Aurora won a piece of the action.

03:11:50 A little late to the party here as the Invite got lost in the mail, but with 12 squads left, and Synetic, the last one alive for FaZe, looking to run, sitting at 45kp, they were able to at least get that extra credit from Blacklist on that initial knock, but with Synetic being the last one alive, he's literally stuck between the rocks. He wants as many points as he can, even if he can just eke out some placement points, that helps.

03:12:12 But yeah, it's got to feel rough when, you know, you've got that pressure to get, you know, let's say between 5 and 10 points to get up onto Match Point. You put that pressure on yourself and FaZe, they don't manage to get there.

03:12:25 Not yet, he's still alive here. Let's see if he can even third party this, because right now Night Hitpost looks like he's in trouble. Oh, he gets a melee, but the circle doesn't help him in the way that he intended. Aurora get eliminated, and here comes FaZe, the last one alive. He sees Tular up, and he cannot clutch the extra points that they needed. They end their run at 46 points, and the third party doesn't end here. The fourth party has now rolled in from Trojan.

03:12:51 Yeah, and they're pushing up onto Atlas, who, as you can see, are in shambles on the side there. But we've also got ExoClan. Remember, these guys were, I believe, eighth in the very last spot available going into today. And that's even assuming that a team in the top eight runs out with it and wins the match point final. So Exo need a good day. And unfortunately, we do see them removed here by Na'Vi, who inch ever closer to a match point eligible status of their own.

03:13:19 Wie? Wie?

03:13:43 Das ist eine Möglichkeit, Begegnung für Go-next. Das würde ich...

03:13:58 They could have easily won the game from that spot. But you can see they're playing down the bottom, playing a very safe playing their own game. But now they've just given time for Alliance to reset. And as you can see, turn their attention back onto Kashira and friends.

03:14:14 Okay... Atlus are the ones who have to make the move.

03:14:41 Navi just watching. And they will take the enhanced zipline there to try and third party this. And just as they get above the lip of this, they're going to meet their maker here with Navi very quickly taking out Atlas. But dear mess, they managed to get out. Are they going to come back in? Try and, you know, recommit on top of this? This is huge. Navi did what they needed to do here. Even if they died, they did exactly...

03:15:06 was intended when they knew that they were going to hold forward and try to end this third party and that is get to match point they now have 50 points after coming in for that third party can kind of clutch this out here though if you could get this rest and the reset since Metafelie has the gold knock yeah well you know it looks like DMS we're trying to push the other team away here does get one rest but as soon as that comes out they say it's time to get in the havoc though

03:15:37 He's still alive. The Prowlers are also briefing them from behind. The Grapple comes in. Kinda. Can he clutch? He cannot. The knockdown shields do not help them. Very close. Preprestus is still alive to reset for DMS.

03:15:52 Meanwhile, the two teams sitting in the building that will decide the game realistically, Alliance and GoNext, have not really run into each other just yet. So, as you can see, Alliance have been keeping a watchful eye on this bottom level position here. And DMS are going to have one of the freest walk into...

03:16:16 Das ist eine Rund 6-Circle, als ich schon gesehen habe, Vicky. Weil die anderen zwei Teams sind sehr viel über einen anderen. DMS ist jetzt einfach auf die Katwalk zu zippen. Let's go, was a play. Es kostet Taskmaster's life in der Prozess. Although, you know, you take that zipline, you zip away up on the high ground. Now you lose out on Taskmaster. See, maybe they could get the reset here. Unlucky trying to get...

03:16:44 The grief on the four Archers that he's got ready to go if he can send it towards their way, but also wants to hold on to it considering that this circle is closing in right behind them.

03:16:54 Yeah, they won't be able to sit up there for too long once the next circle begins to close. And as we saw, Taskmaster back up, notably. And yeah, look, as we saw just before, Knuckle Class is definitely going to wreak havoc there. It's the gift that keeps on giving, Vicky. You know, you might have four Arkstars in the backpack, which is not too bad. But you can save those and just keep the pressure up with the tactical, which of course does not ever run out.

03:17:22 Es ist wie Weihnachtsmusik hier. Weihnachtsmusik in der Sommerzeit.

03:17:29 They move early and unlucky, he hasn't even realized that. The scope is still on there.

03:17:59 the catwalk but dms are already uh somewhere within this building hard to see on the map view where exactly that is i i presume they're in the building and not underneath in the sewers yeah okay so they've gone for first level alliance trying to block off some entrances with the trident love that and go next have actually made their move um to try and set up a better uh cross angle and position looking at alliance and dms

03:18:23 This is big for GoNex, standing at 42 points in total. Kai has his 3 KP slab with 2 at the moment, and they're looking to get this dub, get closer here to match point. Alliance, you already know, have hit match points, and trying to get extra points on top of this. Even if they win this game, it doesn't matter. We still go on to another game, because Sheryl is on his shield, but the Gen right next to them is going to allow them to just wait patiently for these two squads to engage.

Alliance erlaubt DMS den Sieg, um GoNext zu eliminieren und Matchpoint zu sichern

03:18:50

03:18:50 They've moved closer to where this circle will finish than the other two teams. That's what GoNext is banking on here. But as you can see, they don't have a lot of cover to play behind. And once Alliance realizes this, MP going out.

03:19:08 Es ist so eine kleine Anzahl, sie alle sitzen in der gleichen Position. Ein Gas Grenade von der Kostik hier könnte komplett ruin ihr Leben. Es all depends auf den Watson-Generator. Sie sind definitiv holding onto das hier. Nicely placed Motherlode, als sie drop down. Sie haben die Falcone zu arbeiten mit hier. Können wir eine Phase aus der Zip-Line machen? Sie können nicht mehr Zeit finden. Sie wollen sich nicht zwischen DMS und Go-Nex auf den anderen Seite finden.

03:19:37 All right, they're gonna have to drop Alliance. They're on top of DMS here. All three teams now getting into it at the same time. Who's gonna come out on top?

03:19:46 Oh, they get the double nut. They let DMS take the dub. That was a huge play though from Alliance. They know that it doesn't matter even if they won. They were sitting at match point. Allowing DMS to win a team that isn't as close to match point versus go next is even bigger. They knew it was go next because Kashira, one of the few cryptos in this entire lobby.

03:20:07 Sie wussten, dass sie weiterhin spielen werden, also Allianz hat gesagt, prioritize, go next, bevor DMS ist, als DMS ist der einzige Kossack-Spot, so sie wussten, dass es sie unter ihnen spielen können. Ja, man kann sich viel sagen, bei den Legend composieren. Es ist viel einfacher als es ist, wenn jeder spielt Bang und Blood ist, es wird viel einfacher.

03:20:28 Es ist eher schwierig, diese Teams zu erzählen, Vicky. Aber all of a sudden, ja, Krypto, ein Big Indicator, ein Caustic ist aus der Ordnung, all of a sudden.

03:20:38 Ja, und das ist das, dass sie, wenn sie DMS war, dass sie in 2nd place waren, wenn sie in 2nd place waren, wenn sie auf den 2nd gesendet sind, DMS sind, ich glaube, es war 38 points overall, bevor das Spiel. Winning das Spiel ist das Spiel, das macht die Allianz zu haben viel mehr Leerwäge zu nehmen, um den Dubs für die nächste Spiel nachzudenken. Ja, und das ist das, was sie werden so fokussed auf.

03:21:05 Yeah, I mean, did we get anyone else who crept up towards Match Point at the end there? I was so interested in the sort of positioning of those final few teams. I wasn't keeping my eye on the top bar quite as much. I believe we had Na'Vi currently now at Match Point. We have Cybercats like we already saw before and now Alliance. So it was Na'Vi and Alliance that hit Match Point after that game. As we take a look at the Match 6 results, Alliance with 10 KP. Let's not forget, they got two reses in North Pad. That is also their POI advantage.

03:21:34 But they held it down, and DMS take the dub with 4KP, go next, right behind Alliance with 5KP to add on to their overall points. Yeah, look, Nine Lies may not have made it to the Regional Finals, but their spirit lives on in Alliance, who were basically being their feline friends there with the amount of times that they got, the amount of chances they had here in our...

03:21:57 in our match. But yeah, DMS, with the win, mainly off placement points, you know, that'll still be a happy 16 points for their total. But yeah, some other clan, some other teams, clans especially, like FaZe Clan, you know, going disappointingly short of making that 50 points.

03:22:17 Yeah, they were so close, too, with Synetic being the last one alive in that game with 46 total points. He tried to time the third party. Unfortunately, there were still two members up and alive from that opposing squad. While looking at the second page, though, Blacklist with the 8KP, Danish with 5KP. Still trying to share that up a little bit as Blacklist are currently sitting in 11th with 27 total points. So that's something to take note of as we go on to our next game.

03:22:40 All right, let's get into the series results, Vicky, and see where everyone stands overall. Three teams have made it to Matchpoint. Alliance and Cybercats definitely look like the two best teams on, you know, here today. I think Graceful was saying he was, you know, Na'Vi was his pick, so they're certainly showing up as well. He wasn't too far wrong with those three teams out ahead. Everyone else now playing catch-up in another five teams on 40-plus points.

03:23:08 Yeah, it's gonna be crazy to see how many more teams are going to be facing off against our Match Point squads, because it's like what you said and what we heard from Graceful, it's about the consistency and getting the dub, Gino.

03:23:21 Yeah, exactly. You really need to come back in. And I mean, look, Cybercats have had two wins already. Is it too much to ask? Is that too much consistency to hope to get a third win for them? Gotta see. We're going to bring in Rain Day Tip. I'm going to take a step down real quick, Gino, and you're going to be able to take it home here to see which of our squads in the next game will be at match point. Thank you so much, Vicky. Great ending that has set us up for a...

03:23:46 Even better finish. Three teams on Matchpoint. Two teams really in the mix who are favorites, Tiff and Genome. One team that is kind of waiting to see if they can do the unthinkable. Three match wins, 18th position, qualify for Germany. What a story that would be. But we're still waiting to get there. And I want to bring in our halftime, our second halftime analyst here, Graceville, who will be joining us to make it four to talk about the setting that this ALGS...

03:24:14 Regional Finals has already gone into. We are waiting to see, and I'll also just point out, he was pretty correct, as you guys had mentioned, too, before Vicky was able to leave. Nadis Fincier would have a move, and they've made that move.

03:24:28 I'm excited to see if Matafe can start his trip to Germany well. Of course, Kanda and Henchman also. Henchman, to me, having a great day. Kanda also in that moment. Almost clutched up. Graceful, he's back with us. Obviously a member of our talent team when he's available. A member of the Pro League when he's competing. Graceful back here after 6. I want to get your thoughts right off the gate. You were kind of right on with Navi. They've now crossed over Matchpoint to join Alliance and Cybercats. How are you feeling about it?

Strategien und Teamdynamiken in der ALGS Pro League

03:24:56

03:24:56 Ja, ich fühle mich gut an. Es ist zu erwähnen, weil es all die Experienced Spieler auszulegen, das ist fast immer was ich zu denken. Es sind die NIP und Blackliste sind auch alle OG Spieler. Ich fühle mich die Teams, die ahead sind, haben sie ein Spielplan, die sie für so lange haben. Allianz hat sich auf ihre Spielplan für so lange gearbeitet. Mataf hat sich in die Spielplan für so lange gearbeitet.

03:25:24 Und sie sind einfach disciplined. Regardless ob sie auf Matchpoint oder nicht, sie werden die gleiche Weise spielen. Wenn es eine Zone ist, dann wissen sie wie eine Zone 1 oder 2. Und sie sagen, das ist was wir machen. Und es ist nicht so viel, dass es nicht so gut geht, wenn Teams nicht zu haben, das Tenden nicht wirklich wissen, was zu tun. Und es wird viel messierer und mehr room für Errors sein, es scheint.

03:25:49 Oh, and I love that you're kind of already bringing that into. Like, obviously, everyone knows the rotations, they know the endgames, but you say there's not a lot of room for error. Well, I look down the leaderboard, right? And in 20th place, Gaming Gladiators, you know, they've only acquired five points throughout our entire series. Now, granted, this is a roster that's probably locked in their ticket to LAN, of course. What do you think is kind of going on over in that wheelhouse right now? So...

03:26:12 Sie sind ein sehr unieke Team. Ich weiß, dass wir sie aus dem Stacks haben, als ich in Pro League habe, als auch. Sie sind ein Team, der thrives, wenn... Ich würde sagen, nicht unbedingt Zone-Wise, aber ich würde sagen, auf welchen Teams sind in der Lobby. Und ich denke, dieses Finals, speziell, ist hart für sie, weil viele Teams haben die gleiche Macro.

03:26:34 But when they are uncontested or potentially have one or only two teams that are on their pathing, they tend to dominate. But right now, as we can see, especially on that C-Note game, everybody's getting gatekept by five, six teams, and it's just impossible. Even if you win the 3v3, you're bound to go down by the second, the third, fourth team that come in from the same side. So for them to pull it out, they would have to be... They gotta do something. They would have to throw a Hail Mary. That's the only way I would say.

03:27:03 Hail Mary.

03:27:06 Ja, well, look, it's been pretty fun so far. We've had six games, now graceful. Look, why don't we get back into some more fun stuff and look through the circles from games four to six here. This was match four where we saw that circle pull all the way up past Survey Camp, and I feel like this one's pretty cut and dried in sort of, you know, what the win conditions are for this one.

03:27:35 Ja, das ist wirklich schwer für FaZe, weil sie das Team ist weit entfernt von der Zone Ende. Ich bin nicht so sicher, dass sie das Team auf den Gonex pushen, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende, um es zu Ende.

03:28:05 All right, well, this is going to be a fun one to break down, because, you know, after this fight happens down the bottom here, where Metafe says, hey, guys, go just lock him down there. Just make sure they don't even have time to get up. What else can you do?

03:28:22 Ja, ich meine, es ist eine gewünschte Wünge. Er könnte auf die Heal-Off und er hätte wohl schon wiederholfen können. Ich glaube, es all startete von früher, wenn es so messy ist, mit den Allianz nicht able zu gehen, und Navi steuert die Heidung und den Free-Dub, sozusagen. Ja.

03:28:37 Ja, ich denke Allianz hat den richtigen Punkt gemacht.

03:29:05 Aber ich denke, dass das ein schweres Scenario ist, egal ob für Neverside gewinnen. Die DMS spielen das perfekt, weil sie mit Gas spielen spielen. Die 3P zu Ende des Spiel ist wirklich solid. Aber ich denke, dass sie sehr gut spielen haben. Sie sehen, dass sie in jedem Spiel in jedem Spiel spielen. Sie sehen, dass sie in jedem Spiel spielen können. Sie sehen, dass sie wirklich gut spielen können. Und sie zeigen, dass sie wirklich gut sind. Und sie zeigen, wie gut sie sind.

03:29:31 Well, you called it before, not as sincere. They're in a great spot. Obviously, Alliance expected that. Maturity tends to win out the longer this goes. That's a summary of what you've been saying to us. But we'll see. There's a part of me that's still hoping, I know a lot of fans probably out there too, for that miracle. It would be fun to see a few teams on the rise. Can they capitalize as we head towards World's Edge?

03:29:53 We'll find out. We know you'll be watching. Thank you so much for joining us at halftime after Game 6 as well, Graceful. We won't ask much more from you today, so sit back and relax and enjoy how this one turns out. Thanks, buddy.

03:30:04 Bye. Thank you so much for having me. Graceful. Immaculate as always with his answers. Tiff, giving us a good insight to it. And what do you think? I mean, I'm saying I am kind of rooting for the underdog story. I think it'd be fun. All these other teams are still going to land. The Lions and Na'Vi, they'll probably still be there. What do you really think is going to happen as we transition into game six now, going back?

03:30:26 I don't know. Game 7, I think, actually. Yeah, no, we're moving on over to Game 7. It's still going to be World's Edge, right? But I don't know. Like, I want it to be someone that needs a must-win situation, Randy. That is really, I want that to happen.

03:30:41 All right, well, it's going to be exciting. Either way, do not leave because the match is about to begin. Genome and I are going to take a little break. We're going to bring back Vicky and you, Tiff, are going to take it over here for Game 7 as we transition into World's Edge yet again. Oh, let's do it. Hey, Vicky, look at us. We get to cast again. Of course, the regional finals match number seven. Who knows? It could end here.

Matchpoint-Teams und Strategien für World's Edge

03:31:06

03:31:06 It's crazy to see how many teams now are sitting at Matchpoint and vying for that dub here too. And it's like what Graciel was saying prior. It's about the consistency aside from the teams that can easily hit Matchpoint. The point here of Matchpoint format is you have to win after you hit that 50-point threshold. Cannot wait to see if that goes down as we are transitioning from Stormpoint onto World's Edge here for game number seven. Can they do it again? Will Alliance be able to take a dub here? We're gonna have to see now that they're sitting...

03:31:35 Yeah, as you can see, kind of back on that first page, it showed us the prior iteration winners. But if this keeps going, we will still carry on that 2-2-2. For now, two maps on World's Edge to see if we can get through it. Now, you've got three teams on Matchpoint, which we've already discussed. And the question is, who can convert over? We've seen CyberCats win World's Edge. And I was trying to look to see how many Alliance had won throughout the prior.

03:32:03 Das ist für heute. Let me hit the overview. My stats go crazy over here. I get deep in this, Vicky. And I'm like, okay, they've won two throughout the entire split two. So there's odds. They're there.

03:32:23 Okay, okay, so then it would be actually crazy to see how they could do here on a map like World's Edge. Because earlier on, like you mentioned, we saw them take the dub on Storm Point with the craziest clutch that you and Gina were able to see with Unlucky being on that fuse. But now with more teams sitting at Match Point, and by more, it is three teams, but after this game, if we don't see the dub for this time, we still have FaZe that have 46 points. Oro, we saw take the dub earlier on, I believe on World's Edge, has 45 points.

03:32:52 mit 44. Every point counts right now when it is eight teams from the EMEA region that have a chance to qualify for split two LAN.

03:33:01 Ja, und wenn es jetzt endet wird, die vier Teams zu Ende sind, wird Navi, Trojan, Exo und GoNex. Wenn Cyberkatz decide, um alles zu stoppen, jetzt wissen sie, dass sie in der muss-win-Win-Szenario sind, dann GoNex wäre die Roster zu fallen aus dem Top 8. Aber wir sind in die Nummer 7. Alles kann passieren, Vicky.

03:33:25 Ich glaube, es ist verrückt, dass es nicht so real ist. Ich kann sagen, dass es so viele andere Teams gibt. N.I.P., ich denke, das ist das auch mit Nasky. Ich möchte, dass sie eine Sache gemacht haben. Aber ich möchte, dass eine Sache, eine Sache, die ich erwähnt habe, mit Cybercats auf Stormpoint. Sie wollten zu versuchen, aber sie waren die einzige Team mit Nubangalur. Jetzt geht es auf den World's Edge. Sie sind wahrscheinlich die einzige Team mit Nubangalur. Aber was sie haben, ist die einzige Team mit Nubangalur.

03:33:54 This is the Mad Maggie. They are sticking to the Mad Maggie. So other teams are going to be able to tell it is Cybercats simply with that off meta pick.

03:34:03 See, I was a little worried if they start changing things up too much, right? Now, granted, you gotta do what you gotta do. And if you feel comfortable with that legend composition and you think it's going to be able to allow you to convert into that map win, it really just depends. But you think back towards that Stormpoint rotation that Cybercats had, as soon as you saw that circle pull towards the north, you're like, Cybercats are gonna have one of the most atrocious times getting all the way from the south side towards the north. On World's Edge, it really depends on where we're pulling in perspective to...

03:34:32 CyberCats start. Now, we knew that was in Fragment. They've been kind of locking it down there. And we don't usually see too many southern zones. But what I do see in that minimap is Lava Siphon is fully included here for Eternal. And a large portion of the south is still included. That is...

03:34:54 It's been 50 years since I've seen a circle like this. It's been a bit here. And being able to see that this circle is pulling south. Is this...

03:35:03 The freedom that NIP need right now to kind of get some momentum going here. Because Alliance do have a little bit of a trek landing over by trial. Something we don't really see very often. But they will have the evil harvester there. You mentioned Cybercats have a survey beacon. Could even fight OP for the ring console by Monument here. See what they have to work with. But this circle is pulling to the north side of Tree. You can even see the likes of DMS, your winners of last game. Having that information probably themselves here too. They have a survey beacon.

03:35:32 They don't have a ring console, but they at least have the evil harvester. And if they did split the loot over by dome, since nobody lands there, they will also have that ring console there too. That's true. But Trojan who land tree, they have that ring console. They've already set themselves up in their specific building Danish and eternal. Now Danish, you know, really not necessarily their best day currently sitting in around 13th place. And that's tough for them. They needed to focus on their rotations and well.

03:35:59 Wow.

03:36:04 Sie blinken, Sie missen die fighten, Uchaku, mit der Möller-Lode zu kontrollieren. Und jetzt Blacklist haben die Lüte, die sie brauchen, hier zu arbeiten. Passion U8 ist jetzt in 12, mit 26 Punkte. Aber heute waren sie in 4. Sie haben sie in 4. Sie haben sie in 4. Sie haben ihren Weg in den Lern mit der Performance durch das Spiel. Ich bin nicht zufrieden, hier, als DMS, ein Team, das definitiv braucht, zu performieren. Looking at die Fighten, auf dem auf dem Plattformen, der Exit aus Lava Siphon.

03:36:32 Ja, look, 12 points away from that 50-point threshold, it could very well be the game that turns the tide for them and gets them to where they need to be. And if the circle does play favor in where they need to rotate from, it'll be interesting to see how they hold this south area of Lava Siphon, knowing that...

03:36:50 There's so many teams that are going to want to rotate for the ring console in Lava Siphon. But as you can see, you've got Micey, Tyler, FBS, and Bambino kind of playing from that catwalk and taking space on the low ground. Navi, in the meantime, is hitting a rotation. We've already thrown out that mother load, and the G7 scout is definitely scouting just one more bullet to take Utako down. That's so satisfying when you know that's that last bullet that you need in your G7 before you have to reload there, too, just so that way you can keep peppering them, including the knuckle cluster, just to get that finish.

03:37:19 Das war so wichtig, Tiff. Das war so wichtig.

03:37:43 from the tree side leaving a bit more of that northern rotation that comes from thermal through the tracks into tree a lot more open for these teams to see where they want to be because honestly thermal stations also got a ring console and a survey beacon if you are on that west side yeah very true very true cybercats starting on that rotation from fragment down towards harvester which honestly i get why they picked fragment considering you know how many times they landed harvester they're well in

03:38:11 with those rotations out of this area. So to hit a southern zone, they're going to be like, okay, let's go ahead, take our time, fight our way. Now, granted, they just have to net a win. We don't care how many eliminations they have, so long as they're the last one standing towards the end of this map. And that'll go for Alliance and Navi.

Kämpfe und Strategien in World's Edge

03:38:28

03:38:28 Teams like FaZe Clan, Aurora, Exo, Gonext, even Trojan, who are within striking distance of that 50, are gonna have to focus on taking those very smart engagements. And I'm like looking Aurora, knowing Skyhook East, a big journey to get down here to Tree, but Alliance have found themselves in Landslide looking for that information from the Ring Console. So maybe that timing here from Aurora actually may pay dividends to the way that they're gonna be coming right behind Alliance and Blacklist International from Landslide, as they're gonna...

03:38:57 Ja, aber Blacklist, ich meine, You saw Yutako earlier, und es war sehr unfortunate für sie, und jetzt Allianz ist schon zu spüren sie. Wir legen die Trap in effect.

03:39:22 Looking for angles. Thermite's going straight into the truck. Wants to watch him burn. We're hitting for Flesh. And here comes the swing. One goes down. This should be the end of Blacklist International. It's only a matter of time.

03:39:33 And they cleaned them up inside that truck, funneled them in there, and GG to Blacklist. They'll be sent right back to the lobby. And that was a good amount of time, too, because that's what I was worried about, right? With Aurora being right there. Now Aurora calling an evac, and they're just going to be flying right over Alliance, where nobody's going to be bothering them. Meanwhile, Navi, though, from Harvester's side, are coming across CyberCats. Let's jump into a listen-in with Navi.

03:40:01 Ich bin auf der Seite. Ich bin auf der Seite.

03:40:08 Ja, auf der outside! Ja, auf der Bells!

03:40:37 Ich habe einen Ballon für Ballon.

03:41:06 Ja, ich bin.

03:41:17 I love the comms. I love listening to Kinda just share his thoughts here too for Navi, but it's so stressful hearing out the stakes and Navi understanding that even with them being able to claim Harvester right now and looking at where the other squads may be, but they're pretty frantic in trying to get the leftover loot that they need to gatekeep other squads like Alliance making their way into Harvester.

03:41:37 FA Kids has fallen. You saw there in that free cam shot. Alonzi trying to roam free. Look for a reset, if able. But Gaming Gladiators here in 20th place. Eight points over in LaunchCyber. Just kind of extending out. You see that focus of attention really wreaking havoc here on Atlas. Now, not a big rotation from here, but we're going to get some KP on for eliminations. Maybe I just had to ask Graceful what was going wrong with this team to start to see a comeback.

03:42:06 Es ist die Habits hier, Grateful calling es wie es ist. Und jetzt die Exhibition ist auf von der Serial-Alliance. Involved in der Fight. Und sie sind gerade in der corner von Na'Vi. Die Team ist auch in der Matchpoint. Und Allianz verliert an Effect in der Chaos.

03:42:21 Look, if there's a squad that you don't want in an isolated 3v3 with Alliance, it's gonna be ninjas in pajamas. Amphi, Zayn, such insane fragging potential. But there's the third party. Here comes the mother load. Here's the chaos. There's no way ninjas in pajamas are going to get out of this. Henchmen here, focused underneath the catwalk to get the shield bat. He'll be back in the fight in about eight seconds, but kind of staying there with the suppressed, looking for angles. And honestly, with all the utility that's been expended throughout this, it is smart for Nabi to look on that retreat when you just...

03:42:51 Oh, this is a big one. One of our Matchpoint teams will fall here.

03:43:16 I cannot imagine. But Navi, once again, kind of bunkers into the snake building outside and starts putting pressure and is steadily backs on up. We throw the bang ult. So if they do decide to leave the building, they will hit it. But Alliance, they are so quick. They've already put themselves into the tunnel outside of Lava Siphon.

03:43:36 They're not in the next circle just yet. They can kind of inch their way through that tunnel, but as a duo, this is going to be hard unless they have a Mobi to work off of. We got to tune in to them later as Navi, 57 points have already been at match point since the last game, looking to see if they can get the dub. They're in the next circle too on top of it all, but OP is a team that looks to be on high on top of the train tracks that overlooks Lava Siphon. Well, Alonzi from CyberCats, the last one alive. The solo to keep...

03:44:06 Das ist so wild. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie haben die Banners bekommen. Ich glaube nicht, ob sie überhaupt noch eine Banners bekommen haben. Niemand ist wirklich mit Support Legends. Wait. Wait, ob sie in Gibby locken? Ich weiß nicht, ob sie in Gibby waren. Wenn wir Gibby haben, sie könnten sich für eine Replikator in Kraft finden, um die Bannersen zurückzunehmen, und machen eine voll-on-Regierung. Das wäre magnifiziert, weil das Circle ist. Es würde favorieren Exoclan, ANC-Outplay, um das...

03:44:34 Top of the bridge positioning. And if Alliance can watch their backside coming out of Lava Siphon, this could be magnificent for them too. Oh man, that'd be crazy. I know Cybercats did not think it'd be this time around, but as we see it, usually sometimes on Storm Point here. But so they don't have a support legend. The Dream isn't here to get these teammates back up OP.

03:44:58 Now, the team that has not moved from this high ground position are looking in multiple directions. They are looking currently at Navi on the other side. We know Alliance are in the side tunnel that exits out of Lava Siphon. I think they were able to get the third back up. Alliance fully up as a three-man, currently looking at Faze inside of the command center of Lava Siphon. But a lot of these teams are scattered as there's a lot of space to actually coexist in with the natural formation of where the circle's pulling.

03:45:25 Oh my gosh, this is going to be a crazy one. Imagine Alonzi just comes out swinging for a 1v3, but unfortunately he's been found out. People have got him in their sights and he's in solo, has three shield cells. We're about to use the majority of the healing potential in the backpack. We're just trying to keep it together. Now mind you, Cybercats, they are a team that must win the regional finals to go to split two playoffs. Alliance, Navi, just...

Entscheidungen und Wendungen im Finale

03:45:53

03:45:53 Placing well, they're going to go. They're going to be just fine. Especially with the way that they've been playing. It's just so crazy. And then Cyber Catch is literally on the sticks.

03:46:04 mit Teams wie Allianz.

03:46:33 Ja, ich meine, das ist sehr stark. Wir sitzen in Triple Red.

03:46:37 We've got vibes. We've got gold knockdowns. We're sharing the gold helm to farm ults here. And we're coming from the tunnel of Lava Siphon. There's not a lot of teams that are going to be able to really full send this without getting decimated by Alliance. So they've got a good rotation. You think towards the end of it, where it's pulling towards that building, you just drop on down once you've cleared out the high ground, which the high ground from Lava Siphon that they're already kind of pinging towards, that's going to be a rotation in from FaZe Clan. FaZe Clan, not on match point.

03:47:06 Just yet three points away from it. So they're going to want to be cautious in all of their engagements or maybe just wait to fight till endgame and let the placement points do the match pointing for them.

03:47:17 They're so close. So is Exo with 48 points. It's two points away as Aurora now make their full commitment. Off of that evac are going to be able to now try to find space in this building. And luckily to their surprise, they're going to be very happy. They don't know it just yet. They don't have a seer or a bloodhound, obviously. But this building is completely free. There is nobody to take this space. And while Na'vi was there originally, they had backed out to hang out by Harvester because I don't believe they also had a ring console available to them. They didn't have the information that that...

03:47:46 Spaghetti Noodle Building was in the next circle. They will find out, though, in the next 25 seconds. Oh, but the high ground, DMS over here, as they kind of just start to rotate out. We have Danish, we have Gaming Gladiators, Eternal, and FaZe Clan have made the wrap around to try to make a play. Unfortunately, Alonzi falls. One of our teams is out, but DMS, seven points needed in order for them to hit Matchpoint, and it's all going to fall onto Taskmaster.

03:48:12 This is such an important fight right here too from FaZe now trying to contest DMS Gaming Gladiators are right next to him so is Danish Alliance looking at this fight looking to get involved DMS get eliminated so does Trojan with nine squads left effect is going crazy he has to look to his back no shield swap available but don't worry the insurance policy that is unlucky is right there to help you out yeah I mean look there's a nearby Jenny that's gonna start it we grab the

03:48:38 Banner für Hackes, aber jetzt zu einem Duo. Danach und Gaming Gladiators haben fallen. Und mit sechs Quads leften in der Lobby. Navi, still in play. Allianz, still in play. Aurora, though, haben so viel Platz. Du hast Kazak und Oirene da auf der Highground, looking für Teams zu kind of rotate out of there. They could be the threat to Allianz hier. Und das Eliminations could be enough für Aurora to go on to Matchpoint. This needs to be a full send.

03:49:06 Let's see if they can get the timing for it. It is nice to know, too, with that previous fight, Faze Clan have now been welcomed into the Match Point Club. They have 53 total points now as Alliance are looking to try to take this dub now and close it out here. Aurora, like you mentioned, on the other side have now dropped down into that building that is in that next circle.

03:49:28 So we're focusing on the long game here for Aurora. They do not push Alliance, even though we are signaling all the flares with the res back onto Hakkis. And here comes their rotation. There goes the rolling thunder. We're already taking angles. Nabi will have to rotate out of Harvester when the circle is beginning to close. And that's going to put them straight into a fight against Aurora. But if Alliance can procure this high ground, it could be so crazy for them.

03:49:55 Okay Unlucky, there it is!

03:50:18 Will goes down to the Knuckle Cluster. And now Alliance is just one elimination. There it goes. ANC Outplay done and dusted. But Exoclan, they make the move straight towards the high ground. They look to third party Alliance. Unlucky, no shield. Hakkis gets the shield swap and Exoclan has fallen. We're down to the final four.

03:50:36 And the only team that's right now below Alliance is Stay Healthy. They have cleared out the bottom end of the bridge. Look at the plethora of Watson fences that are circling around them. Aurora are looking directly at them currently with Na'Vi being right behind them. TIFF, it may end here. Na'Vi and Alliance, the last two Matchpoint teams that could take this win and end it for Regional Finals, are now facing off in the last four squads left.

03:51:02 Look, there's a 50% chance that it ends here with two of the teams on match point right now. Navi on the low ground, Alliance controlling the height. If Alliance pops down at the wrong space, Stay Healthy would have free shots towards them on that rotation. But Navi was not able to rip Aurora out of the inside of the building, kind of though, does get the mother load off of cool down. We're focusing on healing, but this is going to get drawn out and we've got to move from here towards the bridge.

03:51:31 With the placement, Aurora also find themselves at 50 points here. So the number is climbing up here, Tiff. Aurora fades. Both teams have now officially hit match points. Would not be sharing this rooftop. Can they stay alive with the Lions having the positional advantage? As much as I want another one, Vicky, it might end here. Alliance have dropped down. They're whittling away at...

03:51:52 Sie haben schon einen Fett. Die einzige Team, die ihre Fett ist, ist Aurora. Sie wissen, dass es zwei Teams in dieser Geburt sind. Sie haben bereits in den Seer-Ult und die Allianz eingeladen. Sie sind in der Exhibition. Waiting für die Bangalore-Ult hier, auch. Motherlode ist nicht online, das ist großartig. Sie hat die Evac-Tower. Sie haben jetzt den E-Vac-Tower. Sie haben den E-Vac-Tower. Sie haben den E-Vac-Tower. Sie haben den E-Vac-Tower. Sie haben den E-Vac-Tower.

03:52:19 Okay, Navi down off the building. Now Alliance, if Navi and Alliance fight here, then Aurora thirds parties. This could be totally different, kinda. He's getting annihilated. You see Matafe go down first. Henchmen to follow, kinda. What are you gonna do here? Alliance's weak effect is down. Unlucky gets a well-needed shield buff, but when you have one each, it's Aurora. They change their fate, they hit match point, and we go again.

03:52:45 We get more Apex Legends, everyone. We go next. Welcome to the Match Point Club, Aurora, and taking the dub, keeping the dreams alive. Are you kidding me? The ending to that. Can you believe that? I don't know where the script is. I don't know who has it. I know we had that whole thing with, like, Atlan, the whole script writers. I don't know who got cast in this, but I was not expecting this. The fact that...

03:53:13 Aurora stays inside the building. There are so many decision-making abilities in that, Vicky, that if you just go back to where Alliance had played from the tunnel, right, and instead of dropping down to take that building, they third-party all of the teams across the way. Yes, they get a res back onto Hackes, and that's great, but what they lost was the positioning that inevitably won the game, and Aurora took that.

03:53:38 That is insane. And that was also the spot that Na'Vi originally held before. They left the building. It was completely open. Literally, Aurora flew in from an evac tower, and the building was free. It was just on a silver platter. Like, here you go. Na'Vi didn't have the Next Circle information. They backed towards Harvester because that was in the Circle before they saw it close. Next, and it pulled away from them. By that point, it was too late. Aurora was already there. What an insane...

03:54:08 to show how this type of information is so important to make your decision and alliance they didn't even need the kills tiff and they finish it off in second place with 19 kp

03:54:22 28 points, they matched their highest points of the game in match number 2 with that crazy Stormpoint Cascade ending, right? It doesn't even matter. But then you've got Navi going on 14 points. Now granted, those two teams on match point, we don't care how many points they get so long as they net a win, which they weren't able to do in match 7. For teams that are still looking to get on match point, you've got Exoclan hit 54. FaZe Clan did great, but let's jump on over to the back half of this Trojan Eternal.

03:54:51 Honestly, was wirklich so sad für mich war, was die Ninjas in Pajamas nehmen, die sie in der Welt gewonnen haben, aber sie können nicht mitzuhören, die zwei Teams zu tun haben.

03:55:04 It was very difficult. You also have to imagine the mental of NIP currently and where they're sitting in as Alliance. Okay. 5.2k total damage for this team. Unlucky, you could leave some for the rest of the lobby. Actually, don't. You don't want more teams to be sitting at Matchpoint with 12 total KP. Unlucky has just been having an insane day on this fuse. Even looking at Navi right now, cleaning up a lot of the lobby, but it is Aurora who take the dub. And guess who they welcome in that Matchpoint club?

03:55:34 It is FaZe, Exo, now sitting alongside the big dogs here after O'Rourke won that game to also sit at match point. It's so wild because you were, oh my god, the roster mania, right? Unlucky fills in for Yuki there on Alliance and he came from Na'Vi. So to see those two rosters there.

Matchpoint erreicht, Strategieentscheidungen und Teamdynamiken

03:55:51

03:55:51 In 1-2, it is wild that Aurora now to hit Matchpoint as well. Dude, Vicky, it has to end in eight, right? You would think, right? You would think with this amount of teams now, we have six teams at Matchpoint. Any of these six teams can win.

03:56:08 Und end it all here. We still have match day eight here ready to go. Match number eight. I cannot believe it here on World's Edge. Don't go anywhere. Because maybe, maybe we'll be able to see a winner at the other side of this break and the next game.

03:57:59 Legends Global Series. It's Matchday Finals. Guys, Regional Finals, and Mia. And honestly, we were in for a long haul, Genome. I was not expecting this. I saw predictions of six games, seven games. I don't remember yours, but it had to have been a good one. Well, look, with how Alliance were playing in that last game, I don't know how much longer we've got. Like, surely at some point, they just have to do it, right? Like, they had this feeling that...

03:58:27 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie das Gefühl haben.

03:58:42 Das war wild. Und ihr seid da, einfach zu sehen. Und wer hätte es gedacht, Navi kommt auf das? Aber sie schauen für den onlyen Cover, die sie hinter den Boxen spielen können. Das macht sie mit Allianz. Und die beiden haben sich so viel Geld aus dem anderen zu tun, dass Aurora nur hat und dann in den Cleanup Crew gewartet.

03:59:09 The Hail Mary play that Graceful was talking about. If they don't win there, they don't get to live that dream to potentially go to Germany. Yeah, look, I mean, I think those teams need to look back at that fight and analyze every single second that they could have kept a smoke for or, you know, put it out a little bit late, a little bit further, because every single second in a fight like that matters.

03:59:34 when you need to not be the first team to engage. Because if you are, as you can see, Aurora will just walk away with it without a second thought. Honestly, big shouts to Kazak kind of coming in here after that prior match day and stepping in for the regional finals and picking up the lifeline as well. You think back to Kazak's days on Red Dragon and players, and you oftentimes see him play, whether it's Bangalore or even Caustic.

03:59:59 But I hadn't really seen too much of that stepping into the Lifeline role, which is very vastly different, right? Because you have to be so much more cautious playing Lifeline and being that support for your team versus being the aggressor. But you can see that they're stepping in, they're doing what they need to do, and honestly...

04:00:18 Ja, ich meine, es gibt ein paar bereits. Und ja, ich glaube, das war ein guter Punkt über Lifeline als auch, Tiff, weil ich glaube, wenn du nachdenkst und nachdenkst...

04:00:41 Hadecki's play, that was one of the big criticisms that was levied against him, right? Was that he was going down first as Lifeline very often. And that's just something you can't afford to do when you're taking Gold Plated as an upgrade and you've guaranteed yourself, you know, the Gold Knock Rezes. I mean, it's very valuable, right? Like, we just have to see what that can look like for Kazak. You got to keep on going and it would be really cool to see...

04:01:10 Aurora jetzt wieder auf Land. Es ist auch weird sehen sie in dieser Situation, wo es ein Muss-Win für das Roster ist, dass sie auf den Topf unserer Picks waren, um in Split 1 Playoffs zu locken, um die Fan-Favorite-Winner zu sein. Aber jetzt, um das Threshold für Split 2 Playoffs zu erreichen, muss man die Region Finale gewinnen. Aber auf der Topf der Show, Genome, ich habe gesagt, ich habe die Region Finale gewonnen, in einem Moment. Und das letzte Mal, es war die...

04:01:36 Oh, well, um, okay, sorry, I'm just having a look at, uh, some of these picks, and, uh, Aurora going straight for Alliance down here in Skyhook. Okay, they are definitely...

04:02:04 Trying to make this as spicy as possible. Look, I mean, they've been doing that on Stormpoint, right? We've kind of considerably seen them move into the Launchpad area. And if you're willing to split Skyhook, knowing that the other Matchpoint team is in Skyhook West, you full send it. Because they have not done this throughout any of World's Edge. And it matters now because you know that loot path.

04:02:26 Four, Alliance includes someone solo doing Trials and someone else looking for the Evo Cache in the North. They are so split, and if Aurora decides to move in on the remainder of Alliance, that would end it as they know. Yeah, you've got to keep your wits about you. It's an omnipresent threat, and a lot of it comes down to oftentimes, you know...

04:02:49 Players from Skyhook West having that sort of aura about them. When you think about teams like Falcons that have been playing there for the longest time, you know, you're a little bit scared of them. But I mean, who's Aurora scared of, really? Like, nobody. Not with the way they approach things. They just have that aura about them. Plus 500. But honestly...

04:03:09 We'll just have to see. I wouldn't be surprised if they went for Banner immediately and tried very hardly to get their player back in. But honestly, I'm going to have to crank my volume up because I think we're ratting. Is this where we're quiet now? Do we just whisper? Yeah, I didn't see a lot of movement out of these guys. Okay, I don't know. Aurora, just having a look at them. Sorry, looking at Alliance on the map, they're not that close. So maybe they got a whiff of this?

04:03:36 Um, either way, Aurora, they've said, okay, look, that's enough. If they're not coming by now, then maybe they're just not coming at all. We, uh, you know, we can't spend our entire game plan waiting for these, uh, these two kills. They don't really matter to us at this point, honestly. Like, apart from removing one more match point team from the lobby, Aurora have got to be worried about their own win conditions now, not trying to remove others.

04:03:57 No, but what they did was they denied them the ability to get the banner back on Unlucky, who has just been having one of the most star-studded days of his career, and you don't give them the Ring Console capability, because they don't get the Ring Master perk, and Pathfinder on Hackus had already locked in the Survey Beacon. You know what? I wonder if they actually timed that.

04:04:19 Das ist respectable. Honestly, ich würde nicht passen Sie zu haben, dass das all...

04:04:37 in der Gameplan. Für Passion U.A., 13th place overall in the day, 26 points. Granted, this is a squad that coming into today, I had already pretty much locked in for Germany, but a team that has that must-win condition alongside Aurora is going to be CyberCats, right? And they had their chances stifled on rotation, but something they changed up is we haven't necessarily seen a Conduit in a minute, and the Radiant Transfer goes through, the Volt Connects, and the Thermite, it's going to do work to really suppress that push that CyberCats

04:05:06 was looking to make. Yeah, it's a Legend that's been picked exclusively for contests in the recent period. You know, when she came out, amazing Legend, got picked a lot, and then essentially after the nerfs, not so much. But yeah, this is, once again, Cybercats just, I don't know, man, playing Legend roulette and keeping it interesting for everyone at home.

04:05:28 Please keep it, because I love it. I do am a huge fan of Conduit. The biggest issue with Conduit is going to be managing the cooldown on that Radiant Transfer. And depending on what perk you select for that upgrade, we'll have to see. But for Passion U.A., they've ran into a little bit of a mix. We seem to get stunned up on the fences. And the Jenny goes down. Sonya as well. Artie to follow. Maxtrafe lasts alive, but Exoclan has fallen.

04:05:52 Ja, nicht erwähnt, Masch in UAE zu werden, weil es da sind viele, viele Teams in der DMS. DMS, Cybercats, Gonex. Dänisch, da ist es. Die Team ist einfach auf der Seite, auf der Seite, auf der Seite. Oh, aber DMS ist 4 Punkte entfernt von Matchpoint Threshold. Es wäre gut zu sehen, aber Dänisch, sie brauchen eine wirkliche Zeit. Aber die Spieler haben fallen, und DMS könnte sie auch spielen. 3 Punkte shy.

Strategische Wendungen und Teamkämpfe im Finale

04:06:20

04:06:20 Or do we get the reset? Because leaving the Caustic last standing alone inside a building where you can gas trap all the entryways might be the worst thing they've done. ExoClan gonna be shattered with that at 54 points, having a chance to push up ahead and take that match point win, but now they leave it up to their contemporaries in Aurora, in Nabi.

04:06:47 Cybercats and Alliance, the phase clan as well. So we got five left in TIFF.

04:06:55 Five and 17. I mean, it's very possible we end here and all the nades that are being committed into that DMS roster on the inside are doing work. But Cybercats are still conservative on the swing here, especially when you know how many teams have moved into this area. And hey, we do seem to have that other southern zone with a large majority of the north lava siphon being available into the next.

04:07:19 Zonen hier. Und das ist nicht ein schlechtes Ort, aber nicht in der Open. Nicht in der Endgame. Du brauchst ein Bild. Du brauchst ein Koffer.

04:07:27 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja,

04:07:56 Faze Clan and Gaming Gladiators over here.

04:08:02 They got the Exhibit up, we've already burned through a Motherload and playing from this Geyser Rotate, I like it. I honestly wish they could secure the farthest building on the outskirts of Geyser, but for Gaming Gladiators Blast is getting lit up. I think he might be able to just barely get away. No, actually. This is like skeet shooting, what? I think he might have already been downed by the looking, it looked like he was prone.

04:08:28 as he went into the geyser there, unfortunately, on his last legs. But FaZe Clan, kind of hoping that it's not their last hurrah. It's taken them a little bit longer to get to match point than perhaps they would have hoped. But now that they're there, they've got just a good chance as the other teams looking to take out match eight here.

04:08:50 Oh, and a squad that is super close to sealing their ticket to Germany have been looking so exceptional throughout Split 2, just kind of ramping up match day after match day. Yes, they haven't hit that 50 points just yet, but it very well could come from this game. Eight points away. Honestly, Amia's starting to give me APAC North vibes, and I would love to see someone that is not on match point finals take a win and put themselves and more teams onto that eligibility.

04:09:19 Yeah, I mean, Trojan's an interesting one, right? And as you say, they've been ramping up, doing better and better throughout the season. I do wonder with some of these newer teams, if they're so excited, they're so locked in every game day because it's all new, it's all fresh, it's all exciting for them. They play really well, but when...

04:09:35 They're not used to this crazy intense level that comes out during regional finals when every other single team is exhibiting exactly the same. A team like Alliance, like, I mean, you know, let's be honest, they were just in cruise control for most of this split. And, you know, they pop up when they need to. And that's why they're so far ahead at the moment in this finals.

04:09:56 Oh, I was going to say, good focus of attention over there for Henchmen, but we've thrown the Motherload out. The evac was a little bit too late, but they do get a shield crack onto the Pathfinder from Blacklist International. All the nades that are being committed, and Matafe kind of looking for a cross angle there, doesn't quite get it. And it seems like Na'Vi will have to make this last stand, because they're the ones doing the gatekeeping. But if this takes entirely too long, there's a very possibility that some other team is going to come roaming in, but it's Matafe who gets kicked.

04:10:26 Oh, no! Amazing! R99 sprayed there from Henchmen, but look at that! The two remaining members of Alliance have come in, and they're gonna be a factor in this fight for sure. Yeah, but did you look to the north? Aurora! They're finally showing up from Skyhook East, and they want a piece of this. But Alliance are a duo. This is going to be very scary for three of our squads that are on match point.

04:10:55 Ja, es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, nur eine von ihnen kommt aus dem, und man muss sagen, es ist wahrscheinlich wahrscheinlich zu sein, Aurora. Als du gesagt hast, die Trio, Navi, ich glaube, hat zu viel damage gemacht, zu Beginn der Zeit, und jetzt, Aurora, einfach zu drehen, hier. Oirein, er braucht ein Support! Oh, aber ein Lion!

04:11:13 Und jetzt haben wir die Reaktion gemacht. Und jetzt sehen wir, wo Navi nachdem ist. Aber mit dem Ring auf der Rückseite ist, wir müssen die Rotation weitergehen. Will Aurora kommen zu der Seite Navi auf? Oder will wir voll-wrap für den Ultimate Choke, wo wir vor dem Anz.

04:11:37 Ja, das ist ein guter Frage. Aurora hat sich viele wichtige Entscheidungen in der Zone so far in dieser Serie. Kann sie die richtige one machen? Yet again, zwei unserer Matchpoint-Teams hier, Aurora und Cybercats, als wir noted haben, brauchen die 1st place. Sie können beide machen es. Es könnte ein wirklich wichtiger Kampf hier sein, wenn sie in den Weg gehen.

04:12:03 Still four teams alive that have the capability of shutting this series down here. ANC Outplayed are about to deal with one of the teams that are Matchpoint eligible. It's gonna be Navi knocking at their doors. Shex took so much damage on that initial push, but we can see no Jenny available. We gotta start putting those fences up, but the cooldown, that's gonna be tough to manage here, especially when you've got Knuckle Clusters at your door.

04:12:29 Okay, the two remaining members of Na'vi just trying to keep it together here. Aurora have gone back towards the Harvester side and are just moving into the zone now. Na'vi! Oh no, I think kind of got caught by that focus of attention. And that's Atlas in the building ahead of them there.

04:12:50 Let's try to keep them at bay. Of course, the zone has actually shifted quite far south. Often it'll be, you know, sort of over the top of where that ditch is, Tiff, but this one heading straight towards the northern building in Siphon. As I say, we've seen it end where DMS was, but okay. So what Kinda tried to do was he was looking to hit the beacon res onto Matafe, get him back in. Unfortunately, Henchmen last...

04:13:15 Oh no. Oh no.

04:13:44 Urein, trying to get back up to full health. We just need the banner. Now, there are replicators around, there's still respawn beacons, but knowing how Navi failed to pull back in, Kazak has the Moby. This makes it so different. Okay, they've got the Moby. Yeah, as you said, those replicators are not really in a position that you can get to them, I don't think. But, I mean, the first problem is even getting the banner. And as you can see, they are wedged in a corner with an ar...

04:14:10 Lockstar right next to them. That's a tough spot to play from. Cybercats, the other matchpoint team we haven't talked a lot about so far this game, they're in a much better position than these other teams. You can see here Aurora just getting full sent on and Kazak does not win that skirmish against Danish. Cybercats move closer and closer to the ring. If they can take a spot away from, say, Ninjas in Pyjamas or Eternal in the main Siphon building...

04:14:38 They might be the ones pulling off the unthinkable. Yeah, that's absolutely wild. But Danish needs as many points as they can. Mind you, they had to beat certain teams on the leaderboard to lock their ticket into Germany. So the fact that this hasn't ended just yet and we're still getting warmed up is brilliant for them, albeit...

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Entscheidungen im späteren Spielverlauf

04:14:57

04:14:57 Sherbs brought a Devo to the fight and Aurora fell. For Cybercats, they're making all the right choices, right? They were holding down the main building of Lava Siphon and have rotated in to join Ninjas in Pajamas and Eternal. Now, granted, there's going to be a collapse on these rosters. It's just a matter of time. But Cats do one thing, right? They lock into the low ground. Okay. Sharing the building now with two other teams. We've got...

04:15:26 Was that? Five teams up on the north side here that are just about to have to make their next move. FaZe Clan sitting underneath. Stay healthy. They might be able to go around, though, Tiff. This might be a little bit of the low ground, potentially, that they can play outside of Siphon. I think that might be FaZe's best bet. Yeah, this is going to be really interesting. Remind you guys, FaZe is on match point eligibility.

04:15:54 And with 10 squads remaining, there are only two teams that have the power to stop this series. And now, like you called it, they've got the low ground rotation. We've got to see if they're going to be able to get it. Obviously, we are found out. We have Knuckle Clusters coming our way and Arctic kind of stapling alongside with the fences. People doing crazy Cirque du Soleil stuff off the Evac Towers, but it's fine. Faze Clan.

04:16:22 Obviously, they've been practicing their tracking, hitting a couple of those shots. Incredible. Now they've got the Watson to play down the bottom there. Having a look up the top, we're going to FA Kids and go next to Esports. They occupy the buildings that will have some presence in the next zone. Synectic, yeah, he's just trying to put down those smokes up the top just to give them a little bit of space as they fight down the bottom here versus Danish. Okay, Sherbert.

04:16:51 Use that Devo tier ability to rip down more members standing in your way. You are the catalyst to our match point teams. But however, Synetic stops the bleeding, stops Danish, and now grabs both of those banners. The question is, can we get our team back to a full three stack?

04:17:11 You might have a little bit of time. It depends how this team stay healthy. Above him decides to, you know, play aggressively. Do they, you know, have the scan? Do they have enough information to make that sort of push? Only time will tell Cybercats, of course, the other remaining Matchpoint team eligible in this lobby. They make a...

04:17:34 A really quick move here. Free Agent Kids, they were in this building, but they gave it up to try and put some pressure on the other teams. I don't know if that's been a great move as they got a hermit crab in there and grabbed their spot. Hear me out, though. Cats, they're rogue. They've got wild-like instincts, and the moment you leave your home, they are going to step in with massive murderous intent.

04:17:59 FA Kids need to watch out for the Cybercats. FaZe, however, get a full reset onto their roster. And here comes FA Kids looking to make a play again. Six squads left. The FA Kids are going up against Cybercats. This is such an important fight. FaZe are down the bottom here, but they are in a really tough spot. As you can see, they have to just stick to this corner. That fight that's happening up the top.

04:18:29 Very, very important here. Okay, the cats, have they managed to repel F.A. Kids? They still seem to be locked into a battle with each other. And they really don't want to fight right now. Cats just want to fight at the very end as the rest of the lobby is collapsing. Arctic still alive for now, but you can see the foals come in and Falcon jumps down to try and finish it out, but Arctic with 5 HP stays.

04:18:55 We do have our banners, but do we get another reset? We have four squads left, two teams on, Matchpoint and Alonzi down, Cleave is down, Ranches is going to be last standing, and we are just full sending with the grapple across the fence line. I don't know if we're ending here. Feels like a game nine to me, Tiff. Arctic. He does actually find another Moby. Obviously, they used one already, but apparently...

04:19:21 Apparently teams just want to keep donating deathboxes to FaZe, and we've got a second mobile respawn beacon. Surely they don't let him get this off. There's no way Kashera's team is going to allow this regain again. It's just not going to happen. Slab's making the callouts. We're looking for the angles, and that Hemlock's gonna rip him out. Cybercats!

04:19:45 They do. GoNex in this great position up top. One bullet left in the Kraber. Trying to focus down this evac tower. They do destroy it. That's important. They don't want teams from the low ground to be able to decide to come up and contest against them. GoNex have found match point now, but obviously it doesn't come into play until next game. They actually got it.

04:20:09 Another free reset. This is not real. This is not real. And you know FA kids are going to send the position that Go Next is on. This is crazy. I mean, if FaZe come out of this, how many respawns have they had this series in total? Honestly, this is just getting ridiculous by this point. It really is. But here comes FaZe. Oh my god. We're waltzing right up.

04:20:34 Ich dachte FaZe hat das für einen Moment, ich dachte sie hat die Timing auf die 3rd Party perfekt.

04:20:57 But it was just one of those moments where you're like, you know, you're rubbing your hands together. Surely, surely we could creep up and get the roguelike stab in the back there. But no, they just get turned on immediately. And GoNex needed a massive game, right? They were so close to hitting that 50-point threshold. But I don't know. This is wild. The fact is, we're going to 9 for Iamiya. This is wild.

04:21:20 It's been a big day here. And yeah, as you say, even more teams now rocking up to match point, joining the party. And I think the chaos is just going to get even crazier moving on to our next game. I think is how many, how many is it? Do we have half the lobby?

04:21:38 um match point is it just a couple we moved from what five to set who knows regardless we'll have to talk about it and break things down because if phase plan managed to pull that off they deserve it they a hundred percent deserve it because they got two full resets there which is just i don't have any words genome honestly i've seen crazier things but i don't know that would have been one of them

04:22:01 Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking about, you know, Alliance. There's been a couple of teams actually so far this series who have managed to pull off some ridiculous respawns. That trend continues. And yeah, Phase Can was so close there. I think Cybercats also had a very good chance. I think they needed to close out that fight a little bit fast. If they had, they would have had a similar position to go next, like a very strong high ground stronghold, which they could have really started to impose their will upon the other teams.

04:22:30 from that position, you know, looking down at teams like FaZe Clan below them, and maybe it would have become more of a jockeying match between GoNext and CyberCats, but I think they played just a tiny bit scared there at the end, and ultimately that cost them.

Go Next sichert sich den Sieg in Match 8 mit beeindruckender Leistung

04:22:45

04:22:45 I don't blame them for being a little scared. FA Kids coming in with Zidon, who's been a heavy hitter fragger for that roster. But you're right. They needed to deal with FA Kids sooner. But as we look at the Match 8 results, Go Next, not only do they take the win, but they do it with double digit eliminations and get 23 points. I know we could talk about FaZe Clan, FA Kids and Cyber Cats, but can we turn our attention over to stay healthy?

04:23:08 Was ist das 16 zu Endeffekt auf der Skollboarden? Man sieht das immer wieder, Tiff. Was sind sie da? Ich weiß nicht, aber 20 Punkte ist MASSIVE! Und ehrlich gesagt, sie waren eine der Teams, die aus der Runden hat, so sie haben zu haben gewonnen für ihre...

04:23:24 Ability to hit match point, but Aurora fell in 12th, Navi in 13th, Alliance in 16th. That was tough, right? Because they all kind of hail from the same area on Worlds Edge in regards to their POI drops. So, of course, going down towards the south, they're going to have a lot of those same rotations. And obviously, they just kind of took each other out. Yeah, Alliance got to be really watching for that push early on next time. Having a look at our top three teams.

04:23:51 from that last game go next pop off kashira on the crypto the one putting the damage in that's a an interesting stat line that is a massive farm in the emps for sure but let's go ahead and pull up the series results and see just what we're looking at before match number nine we have eight teams on match point oh my glob

04:24:18 Es ist nicht das viele, Tiff, was du meinst? Wir haben 16 in Apec Nord. Wir sind nur halbwegs da. Wer weiß, wie viele Matches wir haben? Ja, wenn es in Apec Nord Regional Finals ist, wird es in den Anfang, 2 a.m. für mich. Und dann wird es sich um, oh mein Gott, wir sind immer wieder weg. Ja, wir sind jetzt hier in EMEA. Stay Healthy, ExoClan. Jetzt sind wir able zu machen. DMS, sie waren wirklich close zu beherren, aber, unfortunately, 1...

04:24:46 Ja.

04:25:11 Yeah, there's definitely less and less chance for anyone who's not just grabbing that number one spot. That's definitely a storyline that we have to keep thinking about as we edge closer and closer to the end of this series and the end of the split here in EMEA. Well, I guess it's only a matter of time, right? But before that, we're going to cut to a quick break. And when we come back, more ALGS action.

Intensive Matchpoint-Spiele und strategische Wendungen

04:27:12

04:27:12 We go next. Literally. Genome, I cannot believe. Go next. Take the dub. Phase with two reses on the low ground. Cannot clutch it out. It was a really difficult situation, but to see Alliance go out early like that with what happened to Na'Vi. I mean, we have eight teams now sitting at match point, and we are moving right back over to Storm Point. Yeah, look, I don't know how many chances, how many lives that...

04:27:38 Faye's Clan need, but apparently, what was it, like seven or something was not enough. I can't.

04:27:45 yeah, look, that was a nuts result. I'm surprised that there was that many Mobis around. I'm surprised that people let them get away with it that many times. There's a lot of surprising things happening at the end of that game, but if I am surprised, I'm happy that we're going to yet another game where it just gets so exciting at this end of a Matchpoint series because there's so many teams that can walk away with it.

04:28:13 Yeah, maybe we need just half the lobby. Let's get two more teams up in this with a match point, right? So that way we can literally have half the lobby possibly qualify into split two playoffs. But I do want to highlight something that Tip mentioned before, too. This was absolutely huge for GoNex. Before this game, before this dub, they did have 43 points. They were close, but they were behind DMS originally, waiting patiently on the high ground, even when FaZe was getting that res on the low ground. They knew if they gave up that high ground, that was going to be the opposing team's

04:28:42 Und dann geht es einfach weiter. So, patience wears off here, und pays off, rather, für Go-next, für die Dubs für Match 8. Now, wir gehen auf Stormpoint für die 9te Game. Amia.

04:28:56 Taking a little bit longer than I was expecting originally, Gino, but this is what I like to see. This is why being consistent in getting these dubs, aside from the KP that we know these teams are capable of, is so important when it comes to Matchpoint Regional Finals. Oh yeah, I mean, the 16 from Stay Healthy in the last game? I mean, yeah, look, there's still, there's quite a big gap between the top 10 and the bottom 10 at the moment, though, because I think...

04:29:25 Ich glaube, es ist ein 16-point-Jumpf von 11.0 zu 50, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30, zu 30.

04:29:52 Obviamente in sehr unrealistic conditions, aber du kannst du 60 games haben. Das ist möglich, Vicky. Oh, hold on. Hold on hier. Before I sit on the edge of my seat. 60 games, you say? Ja, you ready?

04:30:04 I mean, we got all the time in the world. I'm always ready for some more Apex Legends, especially when the competition is as tight as we're currently seeing it right now in EMEA. I really like the point that you just brought up, too, with the big gap there is with the bottom end teams. You're thinking about maybe even Danish here with 34 points, right behind Trojan, who have 43 points. So that 10-point gap means that, hey...

04:30:29 There's all these chances to get as many points as possible, so that way you can at least stay in the top eight. So now that opportunity being presented to you, you got another game to go, and that gap is slowly starting to close for the teams that love to play for N-Circle, like GoNex. Yeah, I mean, look, talking about gaps, the one between the first place team and the second place team overall, Alliance and Gaming Gladiators, is pretty stark right now, Vicky. I mean...

04:30:57 Alliance is sitting up at 94 points. And Gaming Gladiators, who a lot of the other talent actually picked, as the potential winners for today are sitting down with 15 points only. That's a crazy difference between those two. And yeah, I mean, you know, we've seen a team, I think, going all the way back to one of the lands where we've seen a team get like over 100 points and not walk away.

04:31:25 als der Winner der Matchpoint-Series. Ich denke, um, wenn NRG kam 2nd mit SWEET auf einem Moment, und ich denke, uh, die olden DZ-Stole-It-A-Way. Allianz, er...

04:31:39 Slowly approaching that threshold too, right? With 94 total points, they hit match point earlier on, I believe it was right after CyberCats. So now looking at where the circle is pulling, very similar look, but slightly different. It's not going to be pulling hard north of Pylon, maybe possibly out by the choke, but this benefits the likes of FaZe, which Pylon is their POI because they have a ring console right there on top of it all.

04:32:03 Yeah, do we see this one, you know, maybe even go further out towards Launchpad? FaZe Clan certainly seem to think so, or at least they're, you know, potentially even just hedging their bets, sitting on that sort of area, that fence line, as you move out from Pylon towards Launchpad. You know, they're not sitting on the high ground like they did last time when we saw that initial Pylon circle today, Vicky.

04:32:28 Ja, oh, und eigentlich machen die Calle zu Rotate bei Bridge-Side, statt zu Devastatet-Coast. Sie werden das Cirkel zu pullen, bei der auskirten Nord-Side der Devastatet-Coast, wie wir in den letzten Jahren gesehen haben. Nags hat sich ein bisschen von dem Rotate, von der Evac-Tower, aber sie haben ihn geholfen, zu finden, um die High-Ground zu finden.

04:32:50 Okay, yeah, getting into it very early. The Cybercats with only the white armors, and you can see there's still some damage away from that. Playing this fight slowly, perhaps even just, you know, getting some chip damage in, could be to their advantage. If they can do that in a way that allows them to tick up to blue armor before they fully commit, this might be a lot better for them. And considering the fact that...

04:33:17 Cybercats are by Echo HQ. Aurora by Devastated Coast. FaZe already made their rotate here. We have so many of our Matchpoint teams already waiting to see where the circle is going to be pulling. You know that Kashiro's around the corner with that drone. Noting that here too because they made their rotate from Launchpad. So many squads have already made that early positioning play in holding underneath these bridges or at least coexisting by Northside of Devastated.

04:33:47 Lots of teams definitely thinking along those lines. And as you can see, the conduit still in play. We've got the energy barricade out there. We've got a drone flying around too. It's a nice little showcase of some legend abilities going on down here at Devastated Coast. Especially with the amount of Watson that we usually see here too. Go next!

04:34:08 Oh, I hate this for Cybercats. I mean, they've been putting themselves in some very good positions so far today, Vicky, but...

04:34:37 Und ich weiß nicht, das ist, dass es sehr schwer zu spielen als FaZe ist. Eliminate Aurora, die haben so close, ein paar Mal zu nehmen, aber sie werden es nicht in Match 9 machen.

04:34:52 Nice decision to fully send it on to the last member of Aurora, too, right? Because Aurora essentially suffers from the same issues that CyberCat suffers from, which in this case, CyberCat's being the only conduit, Aurora having the only lifeline, but now FaZe losing out on a member, while TMS also are feeling some pressure from afar. It looks like Navi's also shooting at them from the distance, and FaZe seeing if maybe they can reset here. Synetic losing out on his life to get the dirty on him, too. Can they get the banner is the question.

04:35:22 That's a good question. I've had a lot of practice already in this series of doing just that, Vicky, so if anyone can, it's going to be face-clad.

04:35:34 Allianz ist hier auch, zu sehen, wie viele Rezs wir versuchen in den Region Finals zu bekommen. Wir versuchen, die Moby-Mobis zu haben, von EMEA zu sparen. Prästus ist hier noch auf dem Logang. Ardicke ist hier noch ein bisschen auf der anderen Seite. Wir versuchen, die Navi zu sehen, von den Krates zu sehen. Hier kommt die Moby-Prästus, der Moby-Prästus hat, mit dem Moby-Prästus zu backen. Der Moby-Prästus hat die Motherlode, mit dem Pressure hier, während Naxx ist auf dem Press-Fire.

04:36:01 Cyberkast down now in 6th place. That actually surprises me. A couple of good games, but incredible how so many other teams have been so consistent to be able to reel them in and actually get ahead. I guess we are into match nine. There's been quite a few winners so far.

04:36:18 Phaseplan ist still... ...drying to make this respawn happen, and there we go. Synetic is back in. They are in such a good spot, too. The least contestant spot, because it's going to be one of the hardest spots unless you have a team flying in with the Hail May or Evac, to really contest them in their position. That's why it was really good for them to make that rotation very early on from Pylon. We took a look at the teams that are going to be rotating from the Echo HQ side of things. Danish.

04:36:44 Ich glaube, gegen Game & Gladiators, F.A. Kids. Und da war ein Survey Beacon von Echo. Und ein Ring Beacon. Das war für all die Informationen. Und nur zwei Mitglieder von Navi. Sie haben die Resonanz in den Tappen. Sie werden die Syrenge in der Zeit geben. Das ist das Early-Circle-Damage zu tun. Aber es muss die Navi geben, die in der Open zu retten.

04:37:06 Okay. Yeah, Navi trying to move north as the circle goes east. Very much moving over the top of Launchpad. So, yeah, really all the teams reading that correctly. They either, you know, decided to stay on the south side, hanging around near Devo and Echo HQ, or you've got them sitting up towards Launchpad. Ninja's in pajamas, actually, in a fairly good spot.

04:37:29 Towards the main building in Northpad. They've been, of course, struggling so far today. I guess it must be hard when you've got so much pressure on you to do well. And then you don't start the day well. The pressure just compounds from there. Yeah. It makes it harder too. Especially with the type of comps that they've been trying to rock here. And on Stormpoint where they found the success. Talking about Cybercats and the Gibby. It's difficult here to try to keep that up. Look at that evac tower into the combo on the Motherload. Letting everybody know.

04:37:58 Ja, es ist unglaublich, wie... ...much of a rough time they've been having today. And once again, going out early. That's so rough. Danish are stuck in there with Free Agent Kids and Na'Vi just trying to be...

04:38:23 Pain in the ass for both of these teams now as they rock up and try and finish this off. It's going to be definitely difficult here at least. Metafi going to be able to try to get that Bangalore ult to create that space. Kind of gets scanned. He sends out that nade up into the air. I hear the action going on right above them here. And they pull off the res right in front of their eyes for free here. Now Navi are going to get aggressive.

04:38:45 This is just getting silly at this point, honestly. I mean, there's no way he'd lose this fight now. I think the remaining three members looking at Kaina respawning just for some extra KP. Essentially, as you can see, getting bodied as soon as he falls out. Actually finds his nice little spot on the silo there, but then realizes he's going to have to get out sooner or later. And he goes down sooner. They, unfortunately, could not even...

04:39:10 So many other teams sitting at Matchpoint that are still alive.

04:39:37 Round 2 closing, and Alliance are on full reds. That is a scary prospect for ANC Outplayed, who are pulling up just to the east of them, as well as players who are down there. You can see Shroomf having a look-see from a little bit lower. But yeah, look, Alliance, they're closing in on 100 points now, Vicky. Of course, this match series has gone longer than usual, so it's, you know...

04:40:05 Maybe not quite as impressive as 100 you pull out in a six-game series during Pro League, but it's certainly nothing to sneeze at. These guys have been rolling today, and, well, I wouldn't be surprised if they continued that sort of form and took it out here in Game 9.

04:40:21 Yeah, that's to put into perspective, by the way, that I believe Unlucky has had a total of 29 kills over the course of today's games. That is literally more than all the total kills that every squad has gotten minus Navi and FaZe. So just to put that into perspective, that's how crazy Unlucky has been going for Alliance. But they have to get that dub. Shroom is creeping up from right behind Alliance, trying to stay alive in this case. Maybe trying to see if he can get a different angle with the rest.

04:40:50 der Spieler, die die Gebäude übernommen sind. Und er hat so viele Schüsse zu erfüllen. Mit Yuki hat sich ein langer Storwart von der Allianz-Team gemacht. Und für Unlucky zu kommen und prüfen sein muss so gratifizierend sein, um ein Spieler zu bekommen, von dem was die beste Team in der EMEA-Region in der Zeit.

04:41:16 Und er hat wirklich gewonnen, seine Worte heute. Die paar Clutches waren, ehrlich gesagt, nur für das. Mal sehen, ob er sich fühlt sich jetzt an, wenn er sich selbst fühlt.

04:41:35 Oh, what the fuck? I can grapple. I can grapple. I can grapple. I can grapple. Okay. I don't see. I think they went around storm, bro. Okay. Take the rocks. Take the rocks. Take the rocks. Take the rocks. Take the rocks. What are you going to watch for that show, Mitch? They died. Yeah, yeah. We can fight with him on the other side. Hide. Yeah, they are. Okay. Careful you're back. Can we take it? He's on the catwalk now. Okay. Yes. What the fuck is this guy doing?

04:42:02 Asha 80, ich bin zurück. Ich bin zurück, ich bin zurück. Ich bin zurück, ich bin zurück. Ich bin zurück, ich bin zurück, ich bin zurück, ich bin zurück.

04:42:31 Ja, ja, ja.

04:42:59 Ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe ein Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip, ich habe einen Sip!

04:43:27 Watch for 3p. Do you have mobbing? You do, you do. Yeah, I do, I do. They're pushing, I think. Close to me, close to me. Look at me. I'm peeking. I'll try it, I'll try it through. I'm pushing, I'm pushing. Okay, I'm going up again, I'm going up again. Off to the bat, wait. All you effect, all you. Use one. I'm going to chill, chill, chill. Rest, rest, rest. Okay, go back, go back. Call mobbing, take banner. I'm trying, I'm trying, one second batting. Yeah, mid coming.

04:43:54 Ja, ich leute jetzt. Ja, ja, ja.

04:44:15 An incredible turnaround from Alliance here. They hit the 100-point barrier. A great call that it was only a duo behind. They get completely caught off guard by Trojan, but they turn around, and with that knowledge, they have the confidence to take that fight. And now they're getting on a lucky back. 25 seconds. It's going to be a tough rotate. There's still a couple of teams ahead of them, Vicky, but damn, if anyone can make this through, it's Alliance.

04:44:44 Das war so, oh mein Gott. Hockey takes so much damage. Unlucky comes back. He's able to get a shield swap right there by the death boxes. But it's the fact that Alliance were able to clutch that side by side as a duo with Eternal looking at them too. They clear up that north side of the circle. But Genome, this circle is a circle we've seen before. It is pulling towards the rocks north side of Echo where Navi have been holding. Where Faze has height right now looking at them currently.

04:45:09 Ja, das war nur ein Mitglied von Cybercats, in der anderen Seite. Der Conduit.

04:45:18 Could be someone to look for at the end of this. Navi trying to get the res off here. And Alliance getting into a fight with Eternal. Looks like Ninjas in Pajamas kept moving on. So it's just between these two teams now on the northeastern side. Eternal though, they're playing Wraith Ash, by the way. So they've got plenty of movement options to make their rotation quickly. But Effect has not made the journey with them.

04:45:46 The Kitchen is on fire here for Othurno. They gotta figure out how to put out the flames here from the Circle. Pulling up behind Alliance. This is insane. With eight squads left, GoNex still alive. And Haki's being the last one alive for Alliance. Cannot keep the Dream up here for the rest of the teams. Six squads left. And the teams at Matchpoint that are still alive, GoNex still alive.

04:46:11 Faze, Exo, und die Teams das COULD stopt sie. Du hast NIP, ich denke, Othernal, die letzten zwei Teams COULD TRY TO MAKE SOME MAGIC HAPPEN hier. Ja, ich meine, Allianz haben sozusagen Locked-In gewinnen die Pro-League-Split. Sie haben wahrscheinlich Locked-In at least 2nd-Place hier heute, aber sie werden nicht in den Wynn nehmen. Sie haben alles gemacht, aber Navi, sie spielen die Low-Ground hier von der Broken-House, gut in die Circle. Faze hat die High-Ground.

04:46:39 Um, sitting up, uh, controlling this bridge. And then the other few teams essentially are just looking on from outside the circle. How much, uh, you know, sort of space will FaZe give them? Not a lot! Arctic putting them down here with a 30-30.

04:46:57 Huge 30-30 shots, finding that knock onto Misty. I love the different angles that we currently see Phase taking. They're controlling so much space from the back of the bridge, they're holding the middle part of the bridge, and then looking at Navi on the other side, where there is a Moby on top of Go next to create also some extra space, and another Rez is coming in. Aethernal are still alive, dropping into the line of sight of NIP. Oh, Moby's just gone crazy today.

04:47:27 Absolutely the preferred survival item. Well, I don't know, unless you refuse, I suppose. All right, round five now closes. We've got 30 seconds left for Eternal to come in, but they're going to have to get past the gauntlet of NIP. Go next. Also, on the other side of this bridge, behind those Watson fences, Na'Vi, the ones who really just have to sit and wait for the other teams to come to them.

04:47:50 Ja, aber ich denke...

04:48:14 Yeah, they're the only team that are left to aren't on match point. It might be up to ninjas in pyjamas to make this go to the full 10 matches. Well, you know, double digits, not the full. It could go even further. Who knows? But chances are that we end it here. So many other teams, four teams still alive and all of them vying for the number one place.

04:48:37 This is such a tough spot to even rotate from. If you're NIP, you have everybody looking at you. Go Next is over to your side. Zane's about to be met with a little surprise. Na'vi on the other side here too, but they have Amphi being on this here, giving them the information that they need with the heartbeat sensor. You smoke out the Hydro here for FaZe, who were looking at them originally, but do you take this in? Do you try to commit? Oh, Na'vi is trying to commit on some FaZe on the Hydro? Are you kidding me?

04:49:03 This is so good for NIP. They just get to take over the building. All of a sudden, they've had a lot of space cleared for them by that move. Navi are locked into this now with NIP, trying to get the shots through the building. Just want to hit that one pixel on the foot.

04:49:23 Oh mein Gott!

04:49:51 Trying to get the information out there with focus of attention. They hit that. So many ultimates going down right now. FaZe Clan, they're on top and they're in control. They even get the opening onto Navi. Oh, they try to get the follow-up here too, but Satanic does not want to overextend. He holds onto the height. FaZe Clan now. Ardic drops down. He sees the fighting happening right in front of him. Navi fully send it onto NIP. This is FaZe to third party as Navi is eliminated.

04:50:21 HaysGlad win!

04:50:31 Was healthy after not be fully sent it to them

04:50:58 I mean, you've got to remember that Faye's got a respawn at the start of that game as well. The mobile respawn beacon is their best friend. They got so close in those last couple of games, but then, wow. I mean, yeah, they played that one so well. Just really holding onto that high ground, and every time someone chose an angle that even remotely threatened them, they were the ones out-trading them, making them stay away. Yeah.

04:51:25 It was a masterclass in controlling space there from FaZe Clan.

04:51:29 That was an amazing performance there too. One of the teams rocking the catalyst and holding their position on that height. That is also to highlight the fact that they went for an early rotate off the rip. We talked about it before when that game night had started where they land over by pylon. They took an evac tower. Like a lot of other teams within the vicinity, they wanted to be able to find space on that bridge. This time it was FaZe that found it on the high ground and they held it even after getting that res on top of it because nobody else was there to contest them.

04:51:58 Ja, das war ein Nuts ending da. Und Faze, ja, well, look, Faze in 9. Das ist die Endung hier für Amir. Wir können das nicht alleine, Gino. Währende die Action zu der sehr enden, ich möchte Rinde back in bringen, denn 9 games, 9 games es dauert für Faze zu nehmen. So viele Teams hat es, die Matchpoint zu machen.

04:52:21 Yeah, I mean, that's all. Just nine games. Phase, they had it. They had it in. They were unfazed. They knew it was going to them in that final zone. We tried to build the story of NIP, and I know you guys can't hear me. Stream can, and I'm just letting you guys know you can't hear me, but Stream could. So I was doing that for your own. So, you know, when I was screaming while you guys were casting, you couldn't hear me on Discord. But Phase, they do it. They were unfazed, and they were so excited to obviously grab this. It's a well-deserving thing coming off, I think, a story.

04:52:50 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.

04:53:18 Yeah, and the way they played in L.A. really felt to me like a team who could go further, right? It wasn't a team who, you know, overperformed or something like that. To me, it looked like a team who was on their way to the top. And they certainly stay there. A big win. They were, interestingly enough, in third place coming into this. And they were 15 points behind Gaming Gladiators, but I think...

04:53:45 Das 3rd wird nicht wo sie enden. Es könnte etwas besser als das, als es Game of Gladiators Day ist, was ich sicher, dass sie wieder vergessen werden können. Faze Glando mit 23 Punkten und der Win in Regional Finals.

04:53:58 Das ist das, was sie erwartet hat. Das bedeutet keine Ahnung für Cybercats, die sich in den 9en Platz befinden. In I.P., sie kam close. Aber es war zu late. Und zu wenig. Mit Nadas Fincier-Exo-Clan-Godex auf den Top 5. Wenn es nicht sie, war es enden. Und es war es enden. Und es war es enden. In dieser finalen Lobby des EMEA Regional Finals. Wir zeigen euch in ein Moment, hier, als wir die 10-20.

EMEA Regional Finals: Qualifikation und Ergebnisse

04:54:25

04:54:25 And those teams, obviously, well, they'll be wanting a little bit more after this. What to take away, what to, if you are making it into Germany, what do you build off of here? Because ultimately, there's nothing in Apex that gets lifted. There's no prize money that gets shared that doesn't figure out how, doesn't allow these teams to do it without figuring out how to thrive in a match point scenario. So if there was something wanting, how do you figure it out? Those are questions maybe some of these teams.

04:54:54 We'll be answering as you take a look at it here. Vicky, your first reaction. Alliance, they will win the day overall. But we all know that number one position in terms of our regional finals winner will go to base plan. Talking about DMS, stay healthy. CyberCats safe out here too after the series results for today was actually insane. Can we talk about Alliance with the triple digits? 103. Failing to get the dub after hitting match points.

04:55:21 Looking all the way down, where we saw a lot of teams really making the come up. You mentioned NIP. Unfortunately, it took nine games for them to really show up at the very end. They were able to get 21 KP, but those placement points are so important. And unfortunately, the rotations were just not really working out for them, even the decision making and trying to take some fights. But then you look at the other side, ExoClan. We saw highlights from Exo, Aurora pinpointing Alliance back on World's Edge, making small plays like this to really alter the way that this...

04:55:50 die overall standings of today may affect the overall standings of the entire region. Speaking of the overall standings of the entire region, the questions that we've been asking.

04:56:00 We have the answers here very soon. Who is going to Mannheim? In just about a month, we're going to find out who will be on stage competing and representing EMEA. Here it comes. It is ExoClan, Trojan, PassionUA. Go Next Esports. Not as Finseer. Gaming Gladiators, FaZe Clan with their win will move into second place overall in Split 2. And EMEA and Alliance will take the overall Split 2 Pro League.

04:56:29 Gwyn, DMS, Epic is just missing out. But Genome, it seems like looking at this, we probably got the teams that deserve to be there from Emia. Yeah, consistency, the name of the game here in the Pro League and the eight top teams who were...

04:56:47 Die Top-Eight waren jetzt die Top-Eight. ExoClan, die waren diejenigen, die am besten zu fallen. Sie hatten eine Solid-Performance. Ich glaube, es war 6. Das lockt sie in, schützt sie hinter ihnen, und niemand kann zu schicken. Nicht Cybercats, die so sehr nahe sind. Und diese anderen Teams, Aurora, die in den Boden haben, hatte such ein guter Tag, obwohl der split nicht so gut war.

04:57:17 I gotta say, even though Gaming Gladiators, the 20th, got zero points today, they still ended up third overall. So that just should give you a perspective of how good their other nine matchdays were. Two second places and an overall win in matchday, I believe, number eight. Now, heading into this back half, teams that are still in.

04:57:38 Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist eine große Sache. Das ist nicht möglich, aber das ist nicht möglich. Aber vielleicht ist die größte Sache, NIP, Vicky. Ich meine, wie viel wir tun können? Das ist nicht etwas, was wir brauchen. Aber das ist, unfortunately, ein Team, das wir immer noch immer sehen. Und das ist, dass wir uns immer wiederholfen. Und das ist, dass wir uns immer wiederholfen.

04:58:06 It's a little strange to say that we're about to go into a land without Natsky, but you know what? Such is the competition here within Pro League, within the ALGS. I mean, even looking at teams like CyberCats on that back page, you know, after their crazy performance today, it took the first place finish for them to even try to qualify. And it wasn't even close to enough here while we look at this following page here, Rain Day. Yeah, these teams, they did not participate today. We did get a little Nessie participation in Graceful.

04:58:34 ... ... ... ... ... ...

04:58:59 This roster, this region should be. And that's what ended up taking place today. The teams that were in the top eight positions stayed there. And they will be going.

04:59:08 To Mannheim, Germany. Exciting day for them. Let's walk back the action of our last three games. We thought it could go forever, Vicky. And it was close in Match 7 to ending as well. Yeah, I was okay if we were going to go to 10 games. All the more Apex for us to enjoy out here within the EMEA region. But got to leave some room over for NA. So that way they could also punch their ticket over to Mannheim and join the rest of our spots here. But in this game, this was crazy. We were able to cover this. I believe it was Tiff and I. And we saw Navi had rotated.

04:59:37 Und wer war für sie auf der anderen Seite? Es war Allianz und Aurora, die in der Geburt waren, mit der Accidental Melee, bevor sie zu voll senden Allianz nicht nur die Lose auf dieses Spiel, aber das war die Green Line für Allianz zu spüren und nicht nur die DUB, aber das war die Wunnen, die sie auf die Matchpoint setzten.

04:59:57 Ja, in der Nummer 8, natürlich Genome ist es gut. Sie sind jetzt in eine ziemlich gute Position. Du hast FaZe, mit diesem Comeback Play zu machen. Es ist wirklich nur ein Spiel des Resets. Ja, das war's insane. Ich dachte, nachdem sie...

05:00:13 Ich glaube, es ist die EMP. So, vielleicht ist 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, 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, um

05:00:42 And look at that. I mean, what you could see there. Go next. If they win a game later, right in here, they are your champions as well. But that was the game that got them onto Matchpoint. And Dia, you know, he was just cringing at that. He could have been right. He could have predicted it. At the end of the day, though, it was FaZe Clan. Many of you love the org. It have been following them since the trickshot days back and before. And now FaZe Clan newly picking up.

FaZe Clans Triumph und die Bedeutung von Teamwork

05:01:08

05:01:08 Ich denke, mit Synetik, Arktik und Nags, einfach den Job gemacht. Das ist ein Team mit Beliefen. Sie haben die Unterstützung von einem Org mit ihnen. Und ich muss sagen, ich will sagen, dass Allianz nicht gewinnen, ich muss einen besonderen Shoutout hier geben.

05:01:30 2 Unlucky, die ich sagte, dass die Gap zwischen Effect und Unlucky war 14. Es ist nur 3 jetzt. Ich meine, Effect hat viele Kills heute. Unlucky, ich denke, hat über 30 Kills. Eine unglaubliche Leistung individuell. Allianz hat die Arbeit gemacht, aber vielleicht noch mehr wichtig sind die Wahrheit, dass Faze ist von 3rd bis 2nd und auch die Region Finale.

05:01:51 It's a ton of confidence, Vicky. That's the exact type of thing you want heading into a major LAN tournament. Your last time to really play in the Pro League. You do the absolute best that you can. And your org and all of your fans are now rooting for you to take it home. Now you got the phase-up sign coming through the crowd to welcome phase. That's going to be a fantastic sight to see. And it's about sending a message with the amount of KP you can achieve. But just like we have in Regional Finals over at LAN, Matchpoint Finals, the team who takes the dub is the team that comes out on top.

05:02:20 Ja, es ist ein Spiel. Ich fühle mich, dass es eine sehr astute Sache ist, für einen Spiel. Aber in diesen Spielen, sie können ein bisschen einfacher werden. Apex, Sie haben einfach den Aggressor, und Phase haben sich gezeigt, dass sie können.

05:02:31 ... ... ... ... ...

05:02:52 Not just the damage, because when you look at the stats and you go at them, he's one of the top kill leaders overall in this lobby today. And definitely the top kill leader overall for FaZe. But when you go even farther than that, you start to compare damage. He's only a few behind Synetic with 8,000 damage.

05:03:13 Und das ist die große Sache für mich. Er spielt die Charaktere, die die Veränderungen machen und die Veränderungen ändern. Whether es die Watssinn, die wir auf World's Edge gesehen haben, oder ob es die Catalyst hier ist, die Flexibilität und die Responsabilität, die zu machen, gute Entscheidungen in Moments wie diese. Die kleinen Dinge, wie die Bereiche mit den Piercing Spikes auf der leften Seite, die man nachvollziehen kann, mit Nags zu gewinnen und nachdenken. Und das ist die Final Kill.

05:03:41 So put your team on the top of the podium. A huge moment for Arctic, a player that we haven't highlighted as much as maybe we should or certainly now will in the future. 18 kills, 8 assists, 8000 damage as well. It's a game of eights for FaZe Clan's MVP as he takes it home after a great performance.

05:04:04 And I know that we have got an interview here with our winners as well. If they are ready, I would love to bring them in because I know the ALGS is excited to talk to them. I know that we are excited to talk to this man right here. Arctic joining us from FaZe Clan. Congratulations on the win, my friend. And I just want to know, how are you feeling? This has got to be a lot of emotion, a lot of positive emotion, I'm sure. Walk me through.

05:04:30 Just your experience right now, having been declared the winner of EMEA. It feels good, man. I don't know. It was a good day. Everything aligned for us.

05:04:43 I'll add on to that for you, because while it feels good, this isn't necessarily typical. We've seen your guys' rise over Split One, and we had a lot of trust that you were a team to watch. Now with the FaZe pickup, talk to me a little bit about what FaZe means as an org for you guys, the support that's gone on. Has anything changed significantly? Do you guys feel more confident now? What's contributing to this run of success that you guys are having?

05:05:10 Ich meine, ja, es ist jetzt einfach crazy. Es ist der größte Tag in der Welt, der beste Tag in der Welt. Wir halten uns zu einem sehr hohen Standard. Obviamente, wir können nicht mehr Lacken auf der Phase sein.

05:05:26 Wow, I like it. It's literally just stone cold. It's another day I work here for you guys. I mean, you basically had punched your ticket in. Even with you guys performing amazingly today, you guys are very consistently performing well throughout the course of the split. So now that you guys are comfortable here, looking at how long it took, though, for you guys to get the dub, is there anything different that you and the team would be doing, considering that it did take nine matches for one of the match point teams within AMIA to take the dub?

05:05:54 Ja, look...

05:06:09 Talk us through some of the respawn plays you had to make today, because that was sort of the recurring theme, it seemed. There were just so many places where it was like, oh, okay, you know, down to one, I guess they'll be out soon. And then all of a sudden, you know, just phase members flooding in from the sky again and again. So, like, how much do you guys, like, prioritize those mobis? Were you just pilfering them from other death boxes? You know, walk us through the many respawns we saw today.

05:06:39 Ich meine ja, wir hatten Teams auf unsere Hände und uns Kills und Möbis, ich weiß nicht.

05:06:46 So, before we jump, Arctic, because at the end of the day, I'm aware of this, not everybody wins regional finals, let alone gets interviewed as MVP. So, I'm going to give you one more opportunity to say something, if you want, just about your team, about yourself, to your fans. Anything that you want to say here, because this is an opportunity, who knows, next time anybody will get it, you will get it. So, the floor is yours before we say goodbye. Yeah, shout out Caleb, shout out Michael, shout out them. They've been a great deal of help to us.

05:07:13 Vielen Dank, Arktik. Vielen Dank, Arktik. Vielen Dank.

05:07:38 Gino.

05:08:06 Ja, look, if you want to be the best in Apex, you can't have any Passengers, right? You need three amazing players. And Nags, we've seen that from him in the past. Synetic, I think, has actually had some focus on him with how amazing some of the plays he's made have been. And now for Arctic to get the MVP as well today, I think that just shows you how well-rounded this FaZe Clan team is. And that is something that could see them go very far when they get to Mannheim.

05:08:36 All right, well, you know, we have another show coming in just a few hours. So while I might give you more final thought moments for that one, I want to save your energy because we've got something right around the corner. So thank you, Vicky and Gino. And we'll let you go for now. We'll see you very soon. And Tiff as well. Thank you so much for all the efforts in EMEA. We'll see you shortly coming up.

05:08:55 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

05:09:16 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

05:09:45 in Germany of the year. We guarantee it.

05:09:49 All right, we don't guarantee it, but you know it is going to be a great time. And you know you should be there. It's going to be a blast as well. Make sure you keep in touch with everything we're doing on Apex Legends. If you missed the time, we've got PlayApex Esports on Twitter, which will keep you posted when we go live and all the match day highlights to see who qualified and things like that. Also, make sure to follow twitch.tv slash PlayApex if you're watching now or PlayApex Esports on YouTube as well. Big shout out to EA. Go download and play Apex during the break if you can and all of our production team at Esports Engine for helping us put it together.

05:10:18 From Tiff, Vicky, Genome, and myself, Rainey, we wish you a great little break. And as always, remember to never give up, never stop gaming, and we will see you in an hour for North America.
