Apex Legends

00:00:00

00:05:23 Hey, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the ALGS. My name is Randy. I'll be your host today. We've got a great action-packed Match Day 8 for you that will determine a lot of things as we get closer and closer to our regional finals and, of course, land. But, of course, I cannot do it by myself. I hope you guys are enjoying, whether you're in the West Coast like me and waking up in the morning for this, or maybe in some different time zones. We'll have some people representing all that. I brought some people all around the world to join me, and, of course, I've got to say...

00:05:51 It's always a pleasure when I get to have Vicky Kitty on the cast. Vicky, how are you doing? How's it feel to be back? And we got a great day Apex ahead of us. Yes, we do. We've already seen Signs of Life with Season 20 changing up the meta. And I'm so excited to be here alongside you, Randy. It's always a great time of some great ALGS action. And I can't wait to see how Ami is going to do because time is of the essence now. I know we've all been mixing and matching. This guy, though, he's been on pretty much every show that has existed for Apex.

00:06:20 Wir sind nicht sicher, wie er ist, aber er ist hier mit uns. Gino, wassup, Mann? Ich bin froh, dass du heute auf dem Broadcast bist. Ich habe eine gute Zeit, Ray. Es ist ziemlich early, 4.50 Uhr hier in Australien, aber ich weiß, dass es viele Fans hier aus Apex gibt, all die Welt. Und sicherlich, einige meiner Lieblings-Personalität sind aus der EMEA-Region. Ich bin super hyped zu sehen, dass sie heute spielen.

00:06:42 Es wird gut sein. Wir haben Moist in Nordamerika. Wir haben Dark Zero. Wir haben Genome. Wir haben sie alle auf der West Coast-North-Amerika-Time-Zone, wie wir können. Aber natürlich ist es, dass wir DIA auf dem Cast haben. Mein Mann, DIA, wassitzt? Bereit für ein Big Day in Apex? Ich bin sehr, sehr bereit. Und ich bin nicht sicher, dass die Teams sind. Denn mit Season 20 zu Beginn haben, wir hatten eine große Matchdaye letzte Woche.

00:07:09 But the end of the season is just around the corner and stakes are already through the roof right now. It's such an exciting time as well in Apex. We get to see all of the work that these teams have done to get here and now what it looks like to set the full picture up of where we're going. But those of us joining will be hanging in the four box here for now. And those who have maybe missed it, there's been some news, some changes to some teams that we want to keep you filled in on before we get into the brunt of the action today. Nottis Vincere.

00:07:36 Legendary eSports name has rejoined Apex Legends. What a beautiful thing to have them back in. They actually represent now, who is no longer Orglis, maybe still hungry. Orglis and hungry, obviously. And they'll be back joining us. It's a great thing to have a team like this really, really coming back into Apex at this state. And we also have another team, ESG, who's changed their name to Omit. I know, Vicky, we were talking a little bit about Na'Vi coming back. You cast it over them.

00:08:05 A few years back, it's great to have them in this space. Yeah, back in my day, Rain Day, right? When you blink and time just flies by. The last time I got to see Na'Vi on the big stage was in 2021. So it's so nice to see them come back into the professional competitive esports space with Apex Legends. It's always nice to welcome back old family members that you haven't seen in quite some time. It's a great pickup too for a team. Obviously, you know, Tafe and that squad after going away from Vexed, they've been looking for a long time. It's great to see that representation and it's good to see that journey pay off.

00:08:34 Alright, we also have talked about this a little bit, that we're getting closer and closer to LAN. But before we figure that out, there's regional finals, there's still a few more match days, and we have to figure out where teams stand. So for those who want a big picture, we put together a nice little graph that can give you some insight. Let me explain it here, because there's a lot of numbers, obviously, first through 30. That's pretty simple. Our top performing teams, and currently 20, will join for our regional finals.

00:09:02 But playoff spots secured, that's another thing. Today, tomorrow, over the course of these next few days, we will start filling these boxes on the left-hand side out. So whether a team is securing their spot, Aurora, not a spin tier, obviously the closest teams to being able to do that. Regional finals is another option. Just remaining in pro league also, or being relocated to the PLQ. That will...

00:09:27 Wir werden jetzt wiederholfen, dass wir heute und morgen wiederholfen werden. So, wir kommen zurück zu diesem Graphik und wir werden in den letzten Jahren wiederholfen, was passiert. Aber Gino, wenn du an den Topf hast, viele Teams haben gesagt, wir sind die Zeit für EMEA und jeder muss sich aufpassen.

Top-Teams im Fokus: Aurora, Full English und Passion

00:09:44

00:09:44 Of course, if you look at the top there, you've got Aurora on 96 points, the single most dominating performance so far of any team in any region in the ALGS at the moment. I mean, all three of those guys, no one is slacking. They're all posting at least...

00:10:03 11 Kills an average, apiece, um, across for that team. So Aurora pretty much have stamped their ticket already for LAN. And then you're looking across at Element 6 and 2 Rats, uh, 1 Controller here as well. Uh, these guys, you know, maybe not quite as far along as Aurora, but still very much in a great spot to convert that into a LAN ticket. Um, and, you know, we're thinking about these guys today and, and where they're gonna end up. And...

00:10:30 You do start to wonder, if you've locked it in, right, what have we got left to play for? Certainly, you know, there's that prize pool on the line. They can, you know, they're probably going to want to make sure they're taking home as much of that as possible. But then, you know, can they afford to experiment a little bit? You know, there's some other teams that, you know, obviously Aurora have had troubles with contesting it before it land. Do they want to knock someone else out and maybe hot drop on someone? Certainly, as we progress through the season.

00:10:58 Those become, you know, options for these teams who are really killing it at the moment. Well, those teams obviously have huge names as well for the ALGSU. Great breakdown and preview of what not only they have capability-wise, but Vicky, teams still looking to make it. Having a chance, but a little slimmer. Wordsful English Passion, walk me through their situation.

00:11:20 Ja, ihr habt die Teams auf der anderen Seite, wo sie auf die Region Finale sind auf die Region Finale, oder zumindest haben die Max-Präume für den Tag für die Region Finale, wenn sie auf die Region Finale spielen wollen. Ich spreche über Forge, The Full, Englisch und Passion. Forge sind jetzt in 16th overall, aber hat eine weitere Matchdaye tomorrow, als sie in Group C sind. Die letzte Woche dieses Team, die in der Lobby war, in february in february, wurde 2nd behind Aurora's Dominance, nachdem sie eine bessere Runde auf World's End.

00:11:50 und sogar gewinnen mit 14 Kp. Dann schauen wir Fullenglish, sie sind in 12 in den overallen Standings und das ist der finalen Matchday vor der Region Finals. Sie haben nicht eine 1st-Place-Finisch noch, das ist ziemlich surprising, aber sie haben in 2nd als der Highest Placement dieses Splitt. Sie machen für es bei Fraggen und haben die 8th-Most Kills als der Total Squad in dieser Region. Und dann gehen Sie auf Passion.

00:12:14 I don't know what Season 20 did to these guys, but this is also their final matchday before Regional Finals. It was like a night and day difference. They're currently sitting in 14th in the Oral Standings for EMEA, but they had one heck of a day the last time we saw this team perform last weekend. Passion absolutely going to be bringing all of that and more to this lobby, and they need to if they're going to get to where they want to be, which is, of course, Finals and LAN.

00:12:39 Does Zero Nothing feel confident about how his teams approached it, especially with Season 20 changing up the meta so much? We had a chance to talk to him before the show. Hey, I'm Zero Nothing, and my teammates are henchmen, Theoda, and we are Team Passion.

00:13:00 The week before the matchday, I made a whole new roster, basically. We did some practice with the boys and we just jumped right in. Our gameplay line is pretty simple. We play for positive innings, don't fight a lot, but the fights we took take are important and we win most of them, you know, and that guaranteed us the second place overall on that day.

00:13:26 Erstens, die Armonen sind großartig für uns, bei unseren POIs. Wir hatten ein Problem mit uns vorhin. Aber jetzt, dass alle an Equal Food in Armonen sind, es hilft viel mit der Rotating- und Playing-Positivität für uns. Und auch die Legend-Picks sind wirklich in unserem Favorit. Es gibt unsere Team-Comp- und unsere Play-Start sehr gut. Und alle Kombi-Comp-Helpen helfen uns in der zweiten Platz.

00:13:54 Es ist ziemlich genau das gleiche. Die große Veränderung ist das POI für Stoner Point. Aber alles ist das gleiche. Und für die Vorbereitung für den letzten Tag, wir haben nur unsere Basiken gemacht und machen sie stärker. Und wir fühlen uns sehr gut über den finalen Tag.

00:14:22 That was zero nothing from passion. He's going to be playing today and obviously looking to keep on the great results his team had performed. There's this very passionate lobby. You guys will know what we mean in a second, but a lot of passion, whether from zero or around him this afternoon. But, you know, Dia, obviously we've seen these teams. Vicky mentioned the teams kind of looking to make a last-minute play. Genome talked about are those out in front of the pack, but there's always some teams who are just trying to stay, trying to hang and not get relegated, essentially.

00:14:52 so pretty side. Dia, who do you have your eye on there? It's very true. In the scheme of the pro league, you also have to worry about the pro league qualifier and competing with those that come up from the challenger circuit. Right now, the teams that are in that position that do have to worry about the relegation that you mentioned are omit.

00:15:08 Gonext und Vexed. Omitz currently sat in 21st right now with, honestly, not the easiest way out of it. If you want to avoid the Pro League qualifier, you do have to place at least 22nd or above. So Omitz' chance to stay in the Pro League is razor thin right now. They have not yet picked up a win this season, a match win in the course of this season. So...

00:15:34 Keep your eyes on Omit, see what they can change up as GoNext, of course, so the next big flag in these three teams that we're talking about. GoNext, who placed 23rd at playoffs last year, and then Enchamps ended up placing in the...

00:15:52 Almost top 30 teams in the world have fallen off pretty severely, landing in the bottom 10 teams in EMEA. They do have a chance again with today and tomorrow's games, since they're in Group C, to make that up and manage to do pretty well given the...

00:16:08 ...meta-change that happened last week, grabbing themselves a top 10 finish in Matchday 6. Vex are another big squad to look at, and they are placed the lowest. 24th right now. And as a very aggressive team, early on in the season they relied on kills. Kills that Babylon's was getting them. But as the Matchdays have gone on, as Pro League extends, Vex seem to be losing that mojo when compared to other teams. The kills aren't coming their way quite as quick, and...

00:16:36 That's going to be really problematic towards the end of the split. Great.

00:16:40 Vielen Dank.

00:17:09 This weekend is the weekend that will shift it all. But big names like Aurora will be hard to stop. They have pushed the envelope for what it means to be a top contender in the ALGS this season. We'll see if they can continue that this day. And of course, as we head over to it, there's no two who are better to get us started. It's Vicky, it's Genome. Guys, take it away. Let's get these matches going.

Spielbeginn auf World's Edge: Strategien und POI-Diskussionen

00:17:32

00:17:32 Thank you so much, Rain Day. We are back, Genome, here in the driver's seat. I don't know who gave me the keys. They've made a mistake. But I'm excited to take us through the very first game here in EMEA, especially since, like I mentioned before, time is of the essence. This is going to be the last day that some of these teams will be playing in before the regional finals. See which of these eight teams may have the opportunity to compete and land in the EMEA region. Because right now, a lot of these teams see where they're sitting at in terms of points, and they need to know what they've got to do differently today to really...

00:18:02 Das war's für heute. Wir beginnen auf World's Edge für unsere ersten drei Spiele, bevor wir auf Stormpoint für unsere letzten drei Spiele.

00:18:10 Ja, no doubt, wenn Vicky ist in der Driver's Seat, sie wird redlining es. So, wie gesagt, was wir schon gesagt haben, welche Teams haben wir redlining es so far und welche Teams wirklich brauchen das extra Geer zu gehen? Ich bin so glücklich, zu sehen, Aurora zu sehen, live für den ersten Mal hier, weil ich sie nicht gesehen habe, in der match-up wir hatten. Ja, das Team hat so gut gemacht. Und das ist ein Team, dass...

00:18:39 in the past has very much succeeded in their own region in EMEA. But yeah, you know, I really want to see them push that even further at LAN this year.

00:18:49 Especially since we get to see, and by the way, shoutout to Production, I absolutely love this, we get to see the different end circles for the different matchdays that we've had. Remember, it's always three games per matchday that we see on World's Edge, and you can see that it's mostly heavily favored towards the teams that land in these northern KOIs, with over four more end circles happening in the north side of World's Edge versus the south side. It comes into consideration on how some of the teams like to survive, not just

00:19:19 Ja, ich meine, South-Side, North-Side, ich war die East-Side, West-Side da. Ich meine, wenn ihr Full-English landet in Overlook hat, dann hat die Priorität zu so viele von diesen Zonen. Ich meine, ja, und wir haben sie vorhin schon erwartet, als eine von diesen Teams, die sich ein bisschen zu kämpfen hat. Und vielleicht ist das ein Grund, warum.

00:19:49 Ich habe zu sehen, hier in der Double Passion, ich meine, auf das West Side, Landslide zu Staging, wir werden definitiv werden sehen, wer wird die Besten bringen. Auf das Transition hier, wir sehen uns auf die 50-50, die Happen über Bytree. Dome usually ends up splitting some of that loot, wenn sie schnell geht, um die South Building, auf Launch Site, aber das also depends auf wo die Circles sind, wo die Genome sind. Aber ich freue mich zu sehen, wie unsere Bottom-End Teams, ich denke, sogar TSM-Phoenix, Sie sind aus Geyser, Geyser nicht hat die Besten.

00:20:19 How are their rotation points going to look like considering that they're at the bottom end of the overall standings for Mia here? How are some of these teams going to fare against even the best ones in the lobby here?

00:20:30 Ja, genau. Und ich meine, ich denke, dass die POIs, wie Geyser, haben tatsächlich eine Veränderung in wie Powerful sie sind. Es ist natürlich nicht ein POI, das ich würde wählen, oder ich würde wählen. Aber ich denke, dass eine gute Veränderung ist, dass wir mit Evo Armour auf den Boden haben, Vicky, ist, dass es normalisiert sich ein bisschen. Ich meine, Leute kommen aus Geyser mit Triple Whites vs. Triple Purples kommen aus Siphon, du siehst das nicht mehr.

00:21:00 There's still a bit of a loot disparity, but I think it genuinely has made it fairer across the board.

00:21:06 I like how you bring that up, too, because then we also talk about pathing with the Evil Harvesters and how that's going to influence some of the rotations from our teams here, whether it be the Evil Harvesters, their survey beacons, if you do have that blowdown like we've been seeing so far as a staple in a lot of these compositions, or even getting that ring console, of course, too, with that control legend. Each of these things add up to the greater picture of getting your Evil Shield charged up, getting that first perk that you could pick, and then figuring out how you want to play that circle, whether you want to play more by the edge, play a little bit aggressive.

00:21:36 Oder du willst du für den Final Circle-Positionen? Ja, das ist ein guter Punkt, das wir schon wieder bringen können. Wir haben eine Hot-Fix für den Double Ring-Console Scan dieses Woche. Das heißt, das ist minus 200 XP. Obviamente, das Woche gab es ein Double-Scan, 400 XP. Du bist zu blues bereits. Das heißt, dieses Woche wird es tatsächlich ein bisschen länger dauern, um die Blue-Armor zu nehmen.

00:22:04 I like that, too, because then you also think about the extra points you get from opening a vault. If you're exiting out of Geyser and you're able to shoot down a drone, you get 200 points into your Evil Shield immediately when you open the vault. So many different things that we could theorycraft for the different pathings that we've been exposed to so far from Season 20. After the action that we saw last week at Genome and going into this weekend, this means that this has given teams more time to figure things out in the way that they want to play. We really haven't been seeing a lot of Watson in NA.

00:22:34 Wir sehen uns noch mehr Bloodhound und die Caustik in Full-Force. Ich liebe es, dass wir diese Grafik hier haben. Für die Zuschauer, die Leute zu sehen, wenn ihr noch nicht in der Folge habt, was ihr habt? Aber Evil Upgrades haben die größte Sache. Ich meine, auch noch mehr Punkte für die Evil-Shield, wenn ihr nicht zu sein könnt habt.

00:22:59 Ja, ich denke, die Survey Beacon ist ein wichtiger Punkt, weil Teams, die mehr Edge spielen, oder die einfach nicht mehr Priorität zu der Zone spielen, werden zwischen den Evo Harvesters für 350 a-piece und den Survey Beacon für 200 a-piece. Und ich denke, es ist... Es ist eigentlich ziemlich powerful, diese Zeit. Ich finde, wenn du...

00:23:21 We do have so much Bloodhound in the lobby and therefore so much access to these Survey Beacons that teams will be hitting those into Zone 2 and Zone 3, identifying the open spots. If you have a zone that pulls very predictably, it is then often quite hard for them to make it in. But if you have a zone that perhaps throws people off a little bit, it pulls back, it's a weird zone. All of a sudden, there will be spots that are free and you can very much get a very...

00:23:50 gut, playable spot later into the game.

00:24:16 So much bigger, literally 50% bigger. And that comes into the clutch when it comes to also securing buildings. If you see that they've already been taken by another team, let's say a Crypto comes in, EMPs, deletes the Caustic Barrels. So now you're the only Caustic coming into Entry Frag and you throw out that Caustic Gas. You're going to be able to clear a room so quick. And then the purple Evo Shield perks, you see that more of these pros are going for that Residual Toxin where that Nox Vision persists for even longer. They could see through that gas.

00:24:46 Not that they're sitting inside of their own gas, regening health like Breathe It In. Instead, it's about being able to see, especially since Digithreads obviously aren't on SMGs anymore, right? So when you're sitting down in your gas, the only times you really have to worry about the Digithread is going to be on those shotguns, on a pistol. That's why we've been seeing more of the Mozam, the RE being put into play. But we could talk about this and all these Season 20 changes that have influenced competitive Apex forever, Genome. Let's get ready. The lobby has loaded up.

Erstes Spiel: Taktische Manöver, Team-Zusammenstellungen und Zonen-Strategien

00:25:15

00:25:15 And we are diving into our very first game here in EMEA. Alrighty. Straight back onto Old Faithful World's Edge to start off with. It's going to be a good look as I assume we'll get to start seeing the...

00:25:31 The legend picks coming in very soon. You were just talking about the caustic perks and picks before. One thing to clear up with those caustic picks, by the way, Vicky, is it says the area of the ultimate is 50% larger, right? And I think some people are getting a little confused with that. It doesn't mean the radius is 50% bigger. It means the area. So it goes from about 10 meters in radius to about 11.5 meters in radius. So, um...

00:25:59 Ja, einfach nur ein bisschen Spaß, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du die Trigonometry back in der Nähe bist. Ja, wenn du die Barrelsthe nackt, kannst du die Nox-Gas-Grenade einfach gehen, wenn du so viel Platz hast. Und du kannst sogar sehen, die Kausik 1-Legend, die wir viel zu sehen haben, war die Lifeline. Die Lifeline, speziell wenn Circle 3 ist, glaube ich, immer wieder in Evo Cash, oder...

00:26:26 So we have to see how this also comes into play with more of these teams having more time to play within Season 20. And here's that 50-50 that we saw over by Trey. Oh, he does have a weapon. Oh no, and the Condor goes just straight away. Probably the one you want to lose the least. Obviously, she gives you that sustain in these early fights, Vicky. Oh man, that's a rough one to lose first up. And it's 202.

00:26:54 Not only with the Evo Shield advantage, but the number advantage too. They're trying to corner them on each side here. And with the Fuse, Fuse is so important if you know you're taking a 50-50. Those Knuckle Clusters not only cover so much space, but they fry out. Trafaka is going to be on the other side here. Ozzy's going to come in. And that was mine eliminated in the last 30 seconds. Not even as we just get started with this first game.

00:27:19 Ja, es ist da bei 2.2. Looks like Skyhook, eigentlich. Da wird vielleicht ein bisschen action über da. Diese Leute haben sich sehr nahe. So, nicht starten auf in Trials. Wir haben L-C-D-F und Element 6. Two heavy-hitting teams in der Region. Die Sieg-To-France haben die High-Ground, und sie haben die Blow-Down-Scan. Sie wissen, dass da ein Player ist unter dem.

00:27:44 There's going to be another player on the other side of the same building that they didn't get on the scan, but they are going to be able to take a look at the action happening through the window. And while this fight is taking a little bit of time, there is Forge, that landing countdown that likes to split some of that loot before maybe going and rotating through the vault if they were able to get that vault key.

00:28:04 Ja, ich glaube, ich habe noch einen Fisch zu frei jetzt. Diese Teams sind jetzt in die Tür. Okay. Ich habe den Dorky gewonnen. Obviamente, Neither Team hat wirklich eine Chance zu lösen, aber wow, die Quick Push in von Element 6. Ja, das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht. Das geht.

00:28:27 Ended up in that spot fighting each other so quickly. That's not the usual drop spots you would get out of the two teams. Yeah, because usually you have Lucita France who land over by the east side of Skyhook and then E6 that kind of split the trials and then Skyhook west side of the loot. So immediately taking that fight off the rib could also be a statement here because now Lucita France also have the information off the beacon that's over by the side of Skyhook before they make their decision to transfer.

00:28:54 ... ... ... ...

00:29:20 Let's see what their composition is as well. Of course, you've got a Caustic, you're playing Watson. You definitely can bunker up in those tunnels a little bit. Other teams here, Vexen07, down all the way in Dome. Four lifelines, four horizons, six Valkyries with that Skyward Dive coming in clutch, and Natsuki is getting fried.

00:29:42 Amphi sends out that barrel to use it to get out of the line of sight of the team over to the left side. They're trying to take different angles. 07 in some trouble here with only Amphi having the best Evo Shield health here versus his other teammates. But Natsuki will be able to pop this medkit as the reset comes in.

00:29:55 Damn, I didn't even know the angle on top of the little barrel in the middle of the room there. That's a sneaky little one from Nasky. And you can see he has to pop the ultimate there just to buy his team some time, because you saw how low the other two members of 07 were. So look, no, it doesn't do much damage to Vex, but it does buy the time for the fight reset, which is very important here. Now we're pretty much back to that clean 3v3 status.

00:30:22 Es ist wichtig, dass es die Havoc hat. Die Havoc hat einen Terrorismus zu starten. Wir hatten die Stats hier, immer wieder zu Frag out. 14 Kp hier. Ja, die Rez kommt, aber sie bekommen die Dirtye auf von Klemmi in der Prozess. Die Rez kommt jetzt nicht hier. Die Rez kommt von hinter dem, bevor sie das letzte Mal haben. Und 07, sie hat Vex, und sie haben eine Gold Knockdown, so sie bekommen die Rez mit extra helpen.

00:30:51 Damn, if only the Lifeline had I had that, right? I mean, that was actually one of the situations. Like, you know, most teams say, oh, you know, you don't want to have to rely on people going down. That's where a lot of Lifeline's power is. That's why I think up until now, she wasn't a priority pick in competition level. But you're seeing there one of those situations where, you know, you are locked out a little bit from the other team and you can safely pop the res while, you know, your character is still up and running. So Lifeline's showing her utility there.

00:31:20 even if they don't end up winning the fight. By the way, this is still happening. Mandy is still on the Pathfinder, sticking to what they feel is their comfort, where they feel like they could excel.

00:31:36 Hey, you know, we saw some Pathfinder earlier on in APAC, so you can see some magic happening here for 40% worse because they desperately need it. Talk about some of the teams that are on the overall standings and the bottom end of those standings. It is going to be 40% worse. They did not have the best day the last time we saw this team perform last weekend on Sunday. So they have all the opportunity right now to make some magic happen as we take a look at more of the teams that have made their rotation over to Dome.

00:32:04 Yeah, definitely a few teams down in Dome. I mean, Amit was around in the area when 07 won that fight, but they weren't quite close enough to push the issue against Nasky and Co. Definitely a chance it comes, you know, back to somewhere around Stax, Big Mord, maybe definitely not a lot of teams reading this as Lava Siphon as 202. Pretty much the only one sort of on the other side of the mountains.

00:32:33 So nice 30-30 shots. Imagine if the Skullpiercer was on that one. I'll play it. Have the high ground here, but there's so many different angles that other teams could try to possibly poke from, especially from the building roof side over to their backs. But they're just going to be hanging out here for now. They probably already got that Evo Harvester when they made that rotate in earlier. But with blue Evos and more teams sharing some of that space, it's also denying the opportunity for those teams to get those Evo shields up to purple to get a second perk on board.

00:33:06 To potentially get some sort of reset out of this.

00:33:34 I mean, there's a Replicator there. There's a Respawn Beacon there. Love this overhead that you can see right now at Epi. 40% worse getting the jump.

00:33:42 Online Impulse. And they're also going to be able to get the Beacon Scan over by Overlook before they start making their rotate. Lesita France, another team, as well as two Rats 1 Controller that have taken their time to play by the edge of where the circle is going to be pulling. But take a look at the amount of teams that are in stacks overlapping each other. More of the teams that don't want to get caught in the heat. Cybercats playing by that tunnel side that we saw them trying to contest TSM Phoenix earlier for. 202 still playing on the outskirts in case they can try to go around by the...

00:34:11 We do hear that Rez coming out, and they are able to get Night Infulse back into the game. Okay, very nice. Oh, there's some passion-taking in E-back.

00:34:22 Da von Dome, auf der Map, auf der Seite. Das ist wirklich in den Stacks. Das ist wirklich ein Spaß. Das ist fast wie ein Oldschool-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder. Das war die Lore in Apex, nicht? Das hat die Apeks-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder-Kinder

00:34:51 Exactly what they did here. Nice scan coming in from Henchmen. He's got the Beast of the High, and they want more of those scans, so they are going to give Henchmen that gold helmet. Look how quickly he's able to get it here, too. He's about to get another scan on board. You can see that he's going to get his scan a lot quicker, too, looking at the first perk he was able to pick here. Really important for Passion, one of the teams that we highlighted that definitely needs to bring out a lot of what we saw the last time that they were able to perform on Match Day 7.

00:35:20 Ja, ich weiß, dass du ein paar Bluthounds hast in Comp als auch, Vicky. Und ich habe definitiv schon dabbelt. Und ich weiß, dass wenn du das Tactical Cooldown Perk hast, du fühlst es, man. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es. Du fühlst es.

00:35:40 Das und die Gold Helmet. Oh, ja. Ja. Du hast das Schmerz all die Zeit. Und wenn du das 3 Schmerz hast, du hast den Odin's Glare, die wir sehen, meistens von unseren Pro-Skirchen. Wo es dauert die Taktik-Full-Body-Skirchen. So du hast Informationen für diese Final-Circhen.

00:35:57 More of these teams still playing on the outskirts, not fully trying to commit over to stacks, but wanting to have that rotate where they could come from the high to low ground. The only issue is, if that circle does continue to pull into stacks, which it does look like it is, there's little to no cover for the teams that have to rotate out of dome. Not a lot for them, but there's also, I don't know, I'm starting to wonder what kind of options 202 have got there as they're looking at other teams rotating. That was LCDF that was sort of pulling in from...

00:36:24 Lava Siphon above them, and then you've got 40% worse, who are still gatekeeping Aurora, by the way. That's where those 30-30 shots are going. Aurora have had to switch which choke they're coming through. They're currently still in the zone. They're about to start taking that Zone 3 damage, so they better be getting in quickly, because as we all know, with the changes to crafters and, you know, crafting materials and all that, it is not that easy to find the medkits to find enough supplies to keep yourself alive during Zone 3 anymore.

00:36:54 Actually makes your eyes water with how much of that tick damage comes into play.

00:36:58 Nice little overhead here too. Aurora now finally getting out of that circle. 40% worse, making that rotate from Big Mod. If they were thinking that the rocks were going to be cleared over by the east side, sorry, Forge got you beat to that one. And I do like that position that Forge is in because while a lot of these teams are going to be playing inside of these buildings, they could get a clear rotate point, but it's about not getting pinched by the squads that have to rotate out of dome once again as we take a look at the next circle. Damn, check that. Cybercats though, they had called this out with the 50-50 rotation.

00:37:27 Das ist eine große Position für Cybercats. Ich meine, ja, wie...

00:37:37 You definitely do see people get entered in those tunnels, right? Like when push comes to shove at the end of this circle, people are just going to run it down there. They're going to throw all their nades, all their utility. They will be throwing the Corsic ult in there as well to try and take that position away from Cybercats. But if they can resist that pressure, if they can manage their own utility well enough to try and dissuade people from making that decision, then they have a really good and clear walkout to this end circle.

00:38:06 Especially with their comp that they're running, the Mad Maggie, Wraith, Caustic, crazy comp that Sabercats is bringing out, but nothing that we're unfamiliar with while we take a look at 2 Rats 1 Controller rocking the Crypto and Lifeline. Let's jump into a listening with 2 Rats 1 Controller as they ping where they want to rotate to.

00:38:24 45, Kaustik. Ich bin auf mich, ich bin auf mich. Wir müssen für Worm spielen, wir müssen für Worm spielen, es gibt keine andere Option. Und sie sind fighten, sie sind fighten. Ich nehme Geyser in 2-3. Warte, es ist noch ein Team von Seifen hier, Arka. Es ist gut, ich gehe hier, ich gehe hier, ich gehe hier. Okay, okay. Ich gehe in die Haus und dann in die Haus und dann in die Haus. Warte, wir haben einen Team aus. Ja, wir haben einen Team aus. Ich nehme meine Drone, ich nehme meine Drone, guys.

00:38:49 Wenn die Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon

00:39:18 Der Team ist wirklich nah dran. Hier an uns, wir kommen zu uns. Ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist

00:39:49 We need to make pressure on Tunnel. The callout for not just the third party, but the fourth party potential from CyberCat still being in the Vault Tunnel, putting in some pressure and forcing two rats, one controller now to play this out as a duo as Aurora had capitalized on the other side, but they were able to pinch the Sita France in the process of that entire fight.

00:40:14 I mean, frankly, I'm a little surprised that Aurora got away with that 40% worse. You know, here we go there. It's the full send now from them. This time 40% worse to actually let them, you know, try and get something done themselves. But, well, just not having anything go their way, really, in this game. Not taking the fight against 2R1C here, who have got their hands on the Kraber. And, of course, that's what you want. You see? Oh my God, the opening here now.

00:40:43 Ja, Uchakka war das 1 mit der HP, sogar wenn sie mit der Ring geschlossen haben. Das Ring war die Nail von der Coffin, wenn sie die Nail von der Coffin war, wenn sie die Nail von der Vault-Tunnel war. Es hat zu lange gedreht, sogar nach dem Rez und der Schraber-Shot. Cybercats, jetzt.

00:41:06 Now they're just trying to inch their way closer to that next circle to see if they can get that res slowly while the fight is happening on the other side of the vault opening.

00:41:14 Very interesting comp there. I'm sure we'll get back to that later. At the moment, we've got so many teams over in stacks, and then there's just a couple. It's fully English versus Amit on the southern side. You know, I feel like we used to get quite a few zones that would end around here. You know, it would pull up towards Dome. You'd have people running up the hill. There's a real struggle here, but now with all the buildings available in stacks, it's a little bit easier.

00:41:43 than it used to be setting out those arc stars here especially with the falling stars perk if the watsons got that brin trying to get into a different position but he's getting pinged by another team that has him in his line of sight noises now just trying to loop here before sending out the crypto drone

00:42:02 So all these caustic barrels, too. It looks like he's even able to take advantage of the inskeep. He did have it here, but taking on to the high ground is going to be Serdell backing away in time. But they do note that there's still another team that has them in their line of sight. Yeah, they're playing around their gen very well there. You can see them just dipping back in to get those shield regens. And that's netted them some upgrades there. You can see the Crypto going for his level 3 perk upgrade. And now...

00:42:28 Full English have completely cleared out that southern side. You can see Cybercats, unfortunately, are pulling away from the tunnel. They have to start working their way in. I mean, they're playing the very interesting Maggy Wraith and Caustic composition, which we saw Reject win on Worlds Edge just last night in their dominating performance in that APAC North Regional Finals.

00:42:53 The fact that Wraith can always have that portal online too for these type of rotations right here. Cybercats finding themselves secured inside a building. Getting scanned though. This is one other thing you have to mention. With this comp, they lack information. They don't have the blowdown like so many of these other teams do. Nor Crypto. So it's about just playing neutral here on this floor. While getting as much information as possible for the other squads that are around them.

00:43:17 You know what's interesting about that Vicky? I feel like we've seen shifts as we get the ring closing in here. Actually might just get a little bit hectic here. There's a lot of teams who are losing their buildings and I think we're about to see a big crush. Mandy is cooking right now, charging him up the Sentinel. How are we going to approach this onto the high ground? They see the team trying to get out from the door side. So if we're taking some damage here.

00:43:43 The fight is happening above them, though they do want to get involved with so many teams sharing this one building to their left, and then the team right in front of them, there's that information. Ten hostile scans of that one scan, and you can see ANC playing for their life right on the high ground here from OP. I mean, look at that. Mostly purples there, so if you're on the blue shield, you're definitely at a disadvantage at this moment. You know, 40% worse than this much. Don't have a lot to lose at this stage in...

00:44:13 So you can see they're going for it. Mandy on his trademark Pathfinder. Seeing nine squads left here for this circle because there's so much real estate to share as you can see right here from this building alone.

00:44:31 There's like five teams sharing that building to the left of 40% worse, while FullEnglish is looking at all this chaos like this is none of our business. They're just going to keep trying to group the teams that are going to have to forcibly rotate out into the open from the low ground where they're naturally going to be at the disadvantage positioning. Outplay do get eliminated from the roof side though. Another position that you can easily get pinched with so many different type lines.

00:44:54 Was, was a hectic high grounder. Look at that set up from FullEnglish. Who's gonna be able to challenge that only if we've got the Crypto EMPs coming out? And look, PassionUA, they've got one online. The only other Crypto left alive is of course on FullEnglish themselves with noises.

00:45:15 In here, too. Full English looking to the sky. Falling bodies, literally. Don't know where they're going. Zanya's able to get a knock off the Cossack Gas, but it's full English to have to hold the ground here. Oh, they were waiting by the build. Oh, right? From the oob and then dropping down eventually, but it does take some time to get your weapon out after some of the oob changes. 40% wars do get called out from playing underneath the bridge side.

00:45:40 Full English are now trying to hold back this team, trying to cross this bridge, while there's a Moby right below their feet to give them some extra cover. Passion get eliminated, four squads now left in this lobby. It's Go Next, Red Dragons, Full English and Made in Heaven. Made in Heaven, they had that building to the right to themselves for quite a long time, where the other teams on the left...

00:45:58 As we said, it was just a full traffic jam over there, but no one has been able to challenge this position from full English, but now it finally gets pushed out. They have to start doing it the hard way as they move in.

00:46:11 Full English are in the God Spot right now. Here comes the EMP. As they drop down and take two different angles. Fight the team that's playing off the low ground. No knockdown shield could save you here. As Full English, what a positioning. Even from noise is having the height. Taking a different split angle. And they absolutely wipe out the rest of the lobby. And take game number one. One of the teams that we highlighted that needed to have a pop-off game. Since they are currently sitting in 12th place in the overall standings.

00:46:39 And they have done just that. That was absolutely phenomenal by FullEnglish. I mean, you know, you see those fights that happened, you know, maybe five, ten minutes ago, right, Vicky? Where they're fighting for that southern edge of the zone. And, you know, that was it. That was basically the game. At that point, there might have been 12 squads left alive. But at that point, they really had it wrapped up.

00:47:01 Yeah, and it was great that you pointed out the fact that they had cleared that south side. My biggest fear is if there were teams looking at them from the high ground, from the roof side, that they would have full English in their line of sight. But with so many other squads sharing that stacks building, there's other things for concern here for those teams that may have had them in their line of sight that allowed full English to just freely take control over that space that they were basically, their LOS was covered. Not only with the watching gen being right there to negate any sort of nade or any spam that they may have.

00:47:31 Ja, pretty solid effort there from FullEnglish. And, you know, they're playing Watson Crypto Valkyrie, right? It's an interesting composition. It gives you a lot of defensive capability, a little bit of offensive capability with the Crypto, and then, of course, you have the rotation with the Valk. And, you know, we were...

00:48:01 discussing Valk a lot last week, you know, my cast in Apex South. And I feel like it's in an interesting spot right now where if you don't have that many Valks in the lobby, essentially you can try and find spots that other teams sort of aren't able to rotate into late in the game. It's a lot harder with evacs at this point. There is still a difference between taking a Skyward Dive and taking the evac tower. And I think...

00:48:29 Compared to when we had the meta where Valk was at like 100% pick rate, everybody is flying in for those spots. But now that we only have a couple, it does give you a little more priority with that Legend pick.

00:48:41 Das und die OOB-Change ist, auch. Wir haben ein bisschen über das letzte Spiel, aber es war nicht auf die Valk. Es war die Valk. Es war die Valk. Es war die Valk. Es war die Valk, die mehr Valk da ist, die mehr Valk da ist, die eher die Skyward Dive und Circle, weil andere Teams werden können. Aber sie sind auch die Valk und Watson.

00:49:10 We got more of those Arc Stars that you can work with from the Missile Swarm. And we get to work with our Match 1 results here. Full English did indeed not only take the dub, but they did take it with that 9 KP. But pretty heavy KP overall for our top 10 teams here. Looking specifically at Passion UA with that 7 KP. Cyber Cats was 6 KP when they had to fight for that Vault Tunnel rotation side. I do believe they had taken out TSM Phoenix off the very beginning to get to that spot. Made in Heaven and even Red Dragon coming in second.

00:49:40 Ja, wow, Red Dragon sort of flew under the radar for us, I think, a little bit that time. Solid result from them. And then, yeah, we're seeing two rats controller, obviously, were struggling over the other side. Aurora, like, honestly, with how harassed they were that entire game, with how much it looked like they were in Struggle Town, four points, I would take that. They went out pretty early. So, honestly, I'm giving that one to them. Element 6, obviously, dropping earlier. We had Dia dropping the comms in to us before, saying,

00:50:10 Both of these teams were contesting Sky West. Last time, these groups played each other. So I guess instead of trying to split Skyhook up and go, you know, one Sky East, one Sky West or something like that, they're just going to duke it out. So I guess that may continue to happen on our other two games of World Edge.

00:50:28 Ja! Ja!

00:50:57 There's still another game on the other side of this break. Don't go anywhere. One more game here on World's Edge before we transition to the third game after that. Two more games, rather, on World's Edge, and then we'll be going on this one.

00:52:43 Welcome back, everyone, as Match Day 8 continues here in EMEA Genome. That was one heck of a game with, honestly, a fantastic finish. Full English dominated that endgame zone, but they fought for it long before.

00:52:57 Ich meine, ja, es war einfach nur der Breakfast, sie hatten alles, dass ihr in der Endgame habt. Ich meine, sie hatten die High-Ground Positionierung, sie hatten die Composition zu spielen, und sie hatten all die Zeit in der Welt zu waltz auf den Catwalk und rein Hellfire down auf alle anderen Teams unter ihnen. Es war ein sehr einfaches Weg für sie zu Ende, um das Spiel zu enden. Es war hart, dass sie da in der Ende, oder sorry, in der Start des Spiel, aber das macht es sicher nach dem Ende.

00:53:27 Man, all the rotations into Stax culled a lot of teams, be it from the low ground over by Lava Siphon, or from the high ground by Dome, but now that we're getting into our second game on World's Edge, we're gonna see all of that change. It is, I'll say more than likely, Genome, that we end up going somewhere else. Stax has been a pretty rare spot for endgames for the most part, and now we'll get a bit of a sample of where else things can go and how different compositions may work on other places in this map.

00:53:56 Well, look, congratulations for, you know, for Caustic Cursing. I guess we're going back to stacks now, because T-Sick went on. So that's just how it works, sorry. Ooh, 202 with the Fuse Conduit Horizon composition. That one tickles my fancy. Yeah, I had not expected 202 to honestly deviate that much. Just last week, they were running Caustic Blood Bang with everyone else, and...

00:54:23 Granted, vielleicht nicht die Ergebnisse zu bekommen. Das letzte Mal diese Groups waren, 2.0.2 in die 13.0. Und sie werden noch mehr Punkte zu haben, um sich zu gewinnen, Regionals und Play-Offs zu gewinnen. So, Match Nr. 2 wird sie mit ein paar K.P., als sie in der ersten K.P. haben sie in der ersten K.P., mit Shree zu einem wirklichen Hotspot.

00:54:43 Oh my god, okay, we've got something very fun happening over here. Not only do we have LCDF versus Element 6, but 40% worse have dropped in Skyhook and just decided to spice things up a little bit. And they're already walking up behind LCDF, who should now be aware that there are two teams on them with no real place to hide, no real ability to bunker down, no caustic. LCDF have this building and nothing more. They're even splitting the floors.

00:55:08 Oh, but maybe because we have three teams rather than two, they're playing a little bit safer, all teams disengaging at the moment, while down here at Tree, things are beginning in earnest. And this fight is not going to be third-partied in the same way, but mine still, even after having gotten a weapon this time, don't seem to be on the greatest end of this trade. Dolgorand has already had to use the Radiant Transfer in order to keep their own shields up, and YOLO is almost down.

00:55:36 I don't know what you're talking about, man. The Buster Sword's OP. Didn't you play that mode? Like, why do you need... If only, if only they could kick it in right now. At the moment, 2R1C, though, have heard the commotion and are starting to walk over, letting 202 disengage, but it's causing more problems for Mind.

00:55:54 So a lot of rogue elements in these contests to start over with here in Amir. Some tricksy games being played by some of these teams. Obviously getting an assault bin to start off with is a little bit helpful in terms of getting that 100 towards your Evo, but much more impactful in terms of being well kitted out in one of these start fights where you often have to go at it with no attachments whatsoever. Somehow!

00:56:23 All this disengaging has happened and we've only had one kill so far though. And 202 and Mind both will be grateful that that's all that happened in the south side of this map because it's a very quick rotation that they can make into a rather south pulling zone. This is very different despite the fact that it's also on the south side of the map, Gino.

00:56:46 Ja, ich glaube, wenn wir glauben, dass es weiter geht, geht es um Thermal Station zu gehen, das ich definitiv nicht. Ich glaube, wir hatten einen Blick auf das Map vor, wo die Zonen sind so far in. Ich glaube, wir haben nicht einen Staging-Zonen, also vielleicht ist es Zeit.

Frühe Rotationen und Team-Positionierungen in Skyhook und Lava Siphon

00:57:03

00:57:03 Very well, it could be. Trust no one in nothing, Juno. At this point, this whole area is up for grabs, and a lot of teams are making early rotations in. Notably, LCDF and Element 6, who have both survived in Skyhook, are taking their time on a slow loot through that area, and should be able to avoid each other, given that they've both got Evo Harvesters that can take them in different directions.

00:57:27 Ja, das natürlich kann man ein bisschen offracken, wenn man zu worry about die Evo Harvesters jetzt in Season 20 ist. Es ist eine große Veränderung, sicherlich. Über hier, Lava Cypher, wir haben ANC gespielt und ein paar 202 Spieler. Ich kann das sehen, so das ist... Ja, okay, so das war das eine 202 Spieler, das war die drei, die andere zwei.

00:57:55 Es ist almost wie sie spielen die Double Rat-Strategy jetzt. Ja, es ist vielleicht die beste Chance für Survival, besonders wenn sie eine Conduit haben und man craften Bannern, wenn sie sich die Bannern verletzen sind, vielleicht haben sie eine bessere Chance für einen Trafter zu finden. Für sie, doch...

00:58:13 We'll see whether they get back in the game. We'll see whether they get to participate. For right now, I'm really curious about where ANC Outplayed end up moving, as they should already have the Afterburners on Valk, giving her the extra height on Ult, and can bypass this fight if they want to. Mind, currently holding the fences and keeping ANC Outplayed at bay.

00:58:33 Well, there's a little bit of a problem, though, for them, is that Amit just hit the Survey Beacon down a tree, and they noticed that one of the Mine players was very much split from their team members, and there you go, Blast will actually confirm that kill. And Mine now down to two.

00:58:51 Killfeed's got me wondering what's going on with this 40% worse and Aurora Clash again as these two teams once again find each other and Mandy's already gotten an opener with the Sentinel from the low ground 40% worse are fighting this out slowly but they have the numbers advantage and should be able if this continues to take off the next two members of Aurora

00:59:14 God, the second game in a row that Aurora find themselves on the ropes. I mean, we were theorycrafting at the start of this show, dear, about Aurora messing with other teams, but so far they have only been on the receiving end. And it's so difficult to predict how a team like 40% worse will play, especially this late in the season and this low on the leaderboards. 40% worse need...

00:59:37 Das ist, für meine Part, viel mehr chill.

00:59:59 Absolutely down here in Harvester, with just a couple of other teams sitting around there. TSM Phoenix, one of them. Oh, but on the zone close out here, Lava Siphon, it's a little more hectic here. Vex, Redragon, ANC outplayed, trying to find their way back into the buildings of Lava Siphon before it is too late.

01:00:21 So if their backs does let red dragon slip back into the red tank this for a little while and while the ring will deal quite a bit of damage to them

01:00:31 Given that they've got Lifeline, Red Dragon should be able to stabilize a little bit later on into the game. The same cannot be said of teams in Harvester who are getting converged on over and over. GSM Phoenix, one of those squads that does have to keep their eyes out, controlling the entirety of this snake, a very difficult thing to do. For as the Beast of the Hunt expires, it's going to have limited options when it comes to fending off subsequent squads.

01:00:59 Nice little spot, TSM Phoenixes, chill here. For now, and it does look like it could be a staging pool DR. So TSM Phoenix, while they are safe for now, will have to think about a move in the next circle. Over here in Ghost Town, we've got 202. Once again, Aurora, they are really bringing up their...

01:01:22 you know, damage from the ring stats so far in this series. Every time we go at them, you know, they're having trouble. As we said, this time it's with 202.

01:01:34 but wonder what on earth is going on. It is not every day that you see the Fuse wrap in zone with a P2020 no hammer points, but it's what 202 are given to Aurora right now. And the escape of Aurora will be helped again by the fact that they are another squad that's running a support legend. So they've got the opportunity to craft.

01:01:53 If they've got the meds to survive in this ring, something that's going to be increasingly difficult. The zone, however, is going to refocus us on staging. As you called out, the zone that has pulled a little further north. We're not going thermal this time, and that's giving the edge over to say teams like Forge who hold the high ground.

01:02:10 Yeah, Passion, who just rotated in, and they were definitely a team. I was very impressed with their rotational abilities, their IGLing, and their ability to make their way into those final circles, definitely pushing them up towards the top of teams in terms of their average placements and how many placement points that translates into per game.

01:02:35 Als LCDF machen ihre Weg in von der Top-Side der Ring. Sie haben Survey- und Ring-Consoles dabei, mit Cyber-Katz zu holen sie aus. 40% Wortschreiten werden sie hinterher kommen, so es wird wahrscheinlich ein Krieg brengt in Landslide, wenn diese Teams wiederholfen werden. Und ein 3-team Engagement wird eine schwieriger zu kommen, besonders für LCDF. Hmm.

01:03:01 So, I mean, it's tough for anybody, isn't it, when you're playing against some of the best teams in your region, let alone the world. Cybercats, I mean, they made it out of the tunnels alive last time, and, you know, didn't last too long after that, but, I don't know, just living their mole life this series, I guess. Is this Godcom for holding Landslide Tunnel?

01:03:25 mit Kaustik und Maggy und Wraith. Ich kann mich nicht mehr denken, ob jemand anderes zu helfen. Vielleicht Watson? Surely... Surely you think of the Rampart hier, dear. Oh, you're right, you're right. I'm picking Rampart in any situation. I'll be real with you though, Genome. When I pick Rampart, it is not to survive, it is to Sheila. I'm not gonna lie, I picked her more than I've ever picked her before.

01:03:54 und ich bin wirklich gut. Sadly, für die Competitiv-Teams, vielleicht vielleicht nicht unbedingt agree, aber mit der Bandelier-Upgrade zu bekommen, die extra Ammo, Stacks und all das, sie fühlt sich ein bisschen mehr als Assault-Charakter.

01:04:11 Okay, so some early upgrades there, for 40% worse give them...

Taktische Manöver und Team-Engagements in Landslide und Vault Tunnel

01:04:36

01:04:36 A good chance to take this fight, but it looks like they want to disengage because LCDF are holding a lot of these angles from inside the ring here. As you can see, the Bloodhound pushing out just to try and get a little bit of an advantage, but now they will rotate around either side of that rock as a big sniper shot, I think that was, came through there for the knock.

01:04:58 Es sollte nur ein paar Punkte geben. Niemand in der Nähe zu kapitalisieren. Jetzt 40% Wurst hat die andere Art. Sie sind auf die Low-Ground für heute. 40% Wurst also need to contend mit Forge, die hohen Height auf die Stage zu halten. Wir haben die Power Position, die vorher hatten. 40% Wurst, though, haben eine Tool, die niemand in diesem Spiel hat. Ein Pathfinder, um die Height-Tage zu machen.

01:05:25 Yeah, gimme them ziplines. Cybercats here, trying to hold out 202 in the Vault Tunnel. Oh no. We've got the Knuckle Clusters coming through, though, just to try and clear them out even more. As you can see, though, Corsetraps are slowly working their way through that. But...

01:05:47 I feel like they should be able to just slowly siege them and push them out with this Fuse on their side. You know, we've picked the Knuckle Hustler upgrade there, which is going to give Fuse the ability to just run in as soon as some of those Knuckle Clusters start hitting. Now the Zhonya's down. 202 could finish this off. Miskam gets counter-knocked by the Gas, though. Well, Rakafaka covers. 202 will start slowly pushing up. You've only got the offensive power of the bag. He left it. It connects.

01:06:15 Outro! Outro!

01:06:22 Aber sie findet nicht ein Counter. In die ganze Zeit ist der Rest des Dammage und noch 2-0-2 haben sie zu re-setzen. Sie haben ein bisschen ein Tunnel, aber sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel. Sie haben noch ein Tunnel.

01:06:52 Red Dragon, however, pushing in on the other side to potentially pressure and sandwich 202.

01:06:59 Two of the cats left alive. Akafaka and Ozzy the Owl are going to push up on it now. As cats look like they're going down. Red Dragon, who committed onto the low ground themselves, turn onto height. The Cybercats expire right behind them, but Red Dragon are already looking for their next engagement. A Bangalore ult out to claim the height. And with the Kraber they've got, if they can hold this height, they will be in an incredible spot.

01:07:26 More care-package weapons here. You can see the Eeve ringing out below there. We've even got a Spitfire running here on Kasawinny, but it doesn't quite work out for him. So now Slab just has to lob a few Arkstars in here in the hopes that he maybe catches one out, gives himself an opening to drop down, but they don't hit. Spitfire, Hitfire, not what it used to be, but...

Kämpfe um die Vorherrschaft in Thermal Station und Staging

01:07:51

01:07:51 Luhdhound drop from above will at least mean that they collect 1 Kp off of that. Omit, getting the other... I believe 2, as it was 2R1C that was cleaned up in that corner. Everybody again going to have to exit from Thermal Station on the next. Ring closed. Forge, now the focus is 40% worse, have moved up to share space with them. This godspot that Forge had now challenged as Mondia goes down, Shiv goes down, and LCDF are even getting involved.

01:08:19 Ah, bad understanding of the sightlines there. Um, a lot of 40% worse go down. Why don't we listen to what Forge are doing as they try and push into this building? They're all both on the left side, okay? We clear this and we walk into our spot. I do not have Kostigold anymore. I have an ace for the card if I have to. We need to play if I just can, get full HP.

01:08:40 Ja, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind in 3, wir sind

01:09:09 I don't know if I can cross. Blood on another 2, blood on another 2. I'm 1 HP, I'm 1 HP bro. Just get in the card when you can, we're in zone here. The medkits? Yeah, drop one inside. I'm still healing. I need energy. We can clear them after this, when we heal them we can clear them. They're right here now on the track still, we need to kill them. It's a full team, it's a full team. Yeah, this is another team.

01:09:30 Fortschritte zu stabilisieren, aber noch haben LZDF auf ihren Backen. Sie sind noch mit dem Rest des Ring geschlossen, um die Team weiter in den Easternen. LZDF hat keine Chance, aber die Team in den Fronten. Und Fortschritte, die auch mit der anderen Seite zu tun. Und Fortschritte, die auch mit der anderen Seite zu tun. Und Fortschritte, auch mit der anderen Seite zu tun. Und Fortschritte, auch mit dem LZDF zu tun.

01:09:57 Aber es ist nur Savage-Left auf der High-Ground. Will Forge get pushed after this?

01:10:04 Ja, es ist der Sentinel gekommen aus von Max Strafe, aber Amit sieht aus wie sie versuchen, das High Ground zu haben. Sie wollen es all zu selbst. Lufka einfach nur die Stairs, während Blast und Light hier gehen, um sie zu sehen, ob sie die Re-Knocken können, und zu stoppen LZDF von ihnen zu resetieren. Ich meine, das ist eine der größten Staging Zonen du kannst, D.R. Es wird endet, mit Teams einfach zu jumpen auf die High Ground und Staging, und Teams underneath. Es ist ein wirklich...

01:10:33 Es ist ein wirklich Spaß, aber diese Position von den Teams auf den Highgrounden ist ein guter Punkt zu starten, um sich zu finden, eine Top 5 zu starten. Ja, genau. Die Placement Points können mit dem Umit kommen. Sie sind für Kill-Points, aber sie spielen aktiv, sogar als sie auf Heidt halten, Heidt, das sicher Forge wird sie für contesten.

01:10:55 This little bit of territory they've got with an EVA should make cleaning up a squad that you choose to drop on eventually a little bit easier than it would otherwise be, but they will have to make sure that they keep high ground as this next round closes in.

Endgame-Strategien und Team-Performance in Staging

01:11:12

01:11:12 Well, they're just gonna drop on Slab. They smoke him to make sure that they don't take too much damage as they push down here. And the man is gone before you can blink. Back up to high ground. There you go. It looks like this will be uncontested. Red Dragon.

01:11:28 ... und auf der anderen Seite des Ring nehmen und nehmen nur noch ein bisschen von den Centralen, für sich noch eine Smoke zu verhauen, um zu coveren Reddragons' Sightlines zu machen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen, um sie zu entfernen!

01:11:55 Die Red Shields! Die Red Shields sind nicht zu machen, so... Ja, ja, sie sind mit der Blut der Enemies in der Moment. Das ist ein Fierce Spiel hier von Red Dragon. Wenn sie das hier verletzen können, dann werden sie ein paar Punkte in der letzten Spiel des Welt. Aber wie Sie sehen, ich bin...

01:12:15 Wir haben Passion auf der hohe Grounds, Passion UA hier, sie sind auf der Kräne und dann Red Dragon haben wahrscheinlich die bessere Position, in terms of being able to stay auf der hohe Grounds für ein bisschen länger, das Moment kann alles bedeuten in diesen Final Circles. Ich habe zu imagine, dass Passion UA haben...

01:12:38 Eine der besseren Positionen mit der Highground, die sie ein bisschen länger dauern. Der größte Problem für Omit und Passion Ua ist Red Dragon, also viel Pressure ist auf der Norte-Eastern Seite der Ring. Red Dragon, in fact, bereits verloren, und jetzt mit der Zone zu verlassen, diese 13 Kills haben viele Punkte bekommen. Es kann nicht mehr werden. Hmm. Lose jemanden dort ist unglaublich, hier ist Omit.

01:13:06 Try and finish this one off. Now, they've taken a little bite but they want some more.

01:13:11 Was? Was?

01:13:41 Coming in for the win!

01:13:47 Oh man, that is such a weird endgame for staging. Okay, that was almost like the opposite of what we usually see. And the reason that happened is just because teams, I think, understood how important high ground is. So they were pushing so hard for the high ground that by the time they got up there, they took too many blows.

01:14:12 Es ist eine solche Situation, wo, als Reddraggen, man muss sich da stehen und sagen...

01:14:27 wirklich, waren alle die besten Optionen? Weil sie nicht haben eine Spiel-Winne-Position haben, sie hatten nur einen, der war ein bisschen Annoying für beide Teams zu gewinnen. Und mit allen für die Win- und für 1st-Place, ist es die Team auf Low Ground, die mit der Win-Win kommt. Es ist ein cooles Weg, um die Dynamik von Apex Legends zu tun, das lässt Low-Ground-Less-Desirable-Positions eigentlich bequite Powerful, Geno.

01:14:55 Yeah, absolutely right. It does sort of change the tides in that sort of way, doesn't it? But yeah, I just can't help but wonder if there was an option there for Red Dragon to play a little bit safer. I mean, obviously we didn't see exactly how that knock happened, but they just had such a good position that if they hadn't been able to stay as a three-man for another 20 or 30 seconds, I feel like they could have had it all wrapped up.

01:15:24 Very likely. And one of the things that Red Dragon didn't have there that they had throughout the rest of their rotation was a high ground spot to play from. When they were coming from, say, positions like Harvester, we actually praised Red Dragon for their ability to take control of hills and high grounds, bullying teams that had to rotate around them. So when you're the squad that eventually rotates in and has to sit on low ground in staging at a truck...

01:15:50 I mean, it may not feel great, but you had plenty of time to make use of the advantages you did have, and 13 kills is not going to be bad on the overall scoreboards. No, certainly not. That's still going to pick them up something pretty big, I imagine, when we get to have a look at that. And there it is. So 18 points. Yeah, there you go. Equal to the winners of that game.

Analyse der Teamleistungen und strategische Überlegungen

01:16:12

01:16:12 A very nicely played game for Passion, who did take that top spot. Red Dragon, however, as we mentioned, their kills do, I hesitate to say answer back, but certainly stay in that conversation and will continue to be in point of focus throughout the following games. Red Dragon's 13 kills take them again to 18 points, tying them with Passion. And Passion UA, I know, I know, guys, it's a lot of Passion we've got. It is Apex Legends, after all. Do grab second place.

01:16:41 Let's take a look, however, at the teams that did not make it into the endgame, and for many, not even close. Teams like 202, and despite all the waves they made in this game, 40% worse, changed the fates of so many, and only walked away with two points.

01:16:56 Ja, es ist nicht so eine gute Konversion-Rate für sie, in dem Sinne von, wie gesagt, sie sind sie als die Villains, statt als die Main-Characters hier in Game 2, welches ist, ich glaube, wie viele der Community sehen sie als sehr positive Figuren und so sehr, sehr, sehr liebte Figuren, so wie viele von ihnen in der Streaming-Karrieren gehen, und sie sehen sie hier mit den Besten in der Welt.

01:17:26 But yeah, look, moving further down hasn't been a great start to the day for 07. Having a look at, again, you know, rub your glasses here. You're not seeing double. Of course, there is a passion out of passion UA now in Amir. But yeah, they did pretty well. Interesting to see that big difference in the damage, though, between the two teams.

01:17:46 Und die größte contributor zu diesem ist die Aktive Position, die wir schon erwähnt haben. Von der Lowgrounds sind nicht genug genug zu bekommen. Red Dragon, aber... ...despite, honestly, nicht breaking 2k, nicht going crazy in den Dammage, das sind gute Zahlen. Managed to collect a lot of Kills in der gleichen Weise, weil der Position ist, wenn Highground und Kontrollen über die Teams, die sich um dich herumtrennt so sehr, Gina.

01:18:14 Absolutely. Um, you know, Lifeline coming in there again. We're seeing so much of that in EMEA. But yeah, let's have a look at how the teams are going overall so far this series. We'll get there in a second. But yeah, I think as you said, you know, that's how you get to reds, right? You're having a look at those damage numbers there.

01:18:43 Und natürlich, du kannst du nicht in diesem Ort, wo du einfach nur an Armour kannst, und sagen, hey, Mr. Skullpiercer, wie du mein Evo machst?

01:18:55 Ja, es ist nicht so easy, und diese Games haben sicherlich schon immer schwierig gemacht. In fact, wir schauen uns die Serie zu sehen, weil wir in den letzten Spiel des Wurlds-Edge haben, in nur ein paar Minuten Minuten sind, das ist wobei die Dinge stehen, mit Red Dragon, mit einem 2nd Platz in Game 1 und dann den Kills sie haben in Game 2, sie sind sehr dominant. Ja, huge für sie jetzt, in beide Kategorien, in beide Plätze und Kills über die Serie, so...

01:19:24 Fantastic for them. Full English, however, more leaning on just that first game, but certainly not such a bad start to the series. But then you're looking down, you've got Aurora and 07 sitting next to each other on that bottom side of the scoreboard. Maybe not something we're used to seeing, but at the same time, they've got the kind of quality that you wonder if they will bring it back towards the latter half of this series.

01:19:51 Now, we've still got plenty of games left to play. Only one left on World's Edge. Can Red Dragon continue this domination and rocket up the leaderboards? We'll find out in just a few minutes.

01:21:37 Ja, das...

01:22:07 They've cottoned on to something, haven't they? That's such an incredible difference in performance from the first to the second time that we've seen these guys compete here. And yeah, look, it's not like it was just a one-game wonder either. As Diaz said, both game one and game two, they have been performing.

01:22:28 Yeah, Game 1, they came in 2nd place. Game 2, they came in that top 3. And it's great to see if they can keep that up. Because again, it is this last game on World Edge. If they find their success here on this map, can they keep themselves consistently going into that Storm Point with the same results? That is the question. Let's not waste any more time. Do you know Game 3 now, after Passion took that, Game 2 is 6KP.

01:22:53 I mean, you know red dragon picking up the lifeline again. It's definitely something I just I'm very focused on that to see if this pick is a meme or if it's you know really going to stick around in competitive because it's been such a long time Since she was meta if ever really I mean, I guess I feel like apex comp wasn't even around when she was a good character back when she had fast heal Vicky Throwing me way back. I honestly I just feel like

01:23:21 Red dragon, I like how you highlighted that as we take a look at this 50-50. I'll hold that thought for right now because the 30-30 shots are blaring here. You lose over to the other side. Just not only smoking himself out to block out vision, but so that way he can safely rotate to the rest of mine. Holding these two different split angles here. The charge rifle is not the weapon that you want to drop in on your only weapon to have because now they're down their conduit as the first pick.

01:23:46 Ja, we talked about that last time. It's really not the character you want to go down first. It's so important in these initial fights because often you only have two cells, right? You drop with two cells and you might not find any. And you really are so reliant on her to give you that Radiant Transfer to keep you healthy. And they're so low too.

01:24:10 Und wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal.

01:24:39 Yeah, I mean...

Team-Positionierungen und frühe Spielzüge auf der Karte

01:24:54

01:24:54 Ja, okay, ich habe einen Blick auf die Circle, ich habe das auf die Schrein. Interessant zu wissen, Element 6 ist nicht in diesem Spiel. Sie sehen, dass sie eher das Skyhook-East-situation haben, während LC-DF wird eine sehr Primo spot in Trials, mit der Forge auch sehr schnell auf der Rückseite. Und dann, wenn wir über die Team, die wir gesagt haben, haben wirklich Blastet.

01:25:24 in terms of their opportunity with Ring's pulls so far this season. The full English landing over in Overlook. Look, they did manage to convert in Game 1 here at this series, but once again, they are having to travel quite far.

01:25:40 Especially from that north side, they approach Skyhook from the north side. I've seen this final circle end either by the Rocks, closer to Countdown, or by that one little lonely building on the north side of Trials. So a lot of these teams, especially the teams here by Trials, Made in Heaven, Lucita France, Go Next, they're all going to be trying to fight either for the high ground spot or just trying to deny any of these teams from trying to pinch them here. Looks like they called in the Prowlers and they're escaping back onto the high ground saying it's none of their business. They don't want to get into a Lucita France sandwich here.

01:26:09 It's a tricky situation to play here, honestly, in Trials. Because you can try and sit down the bottom, and if you sit around the edge, you can see, you know, they didn't even start off doing Trials. Oh wow, they're actually getting pushed here by maybe in Heaven. Going all the way in there with Tolkien on the Caustic. Okay, interesting. But I was just going to say, like...

01:26:32 You know, playing up top is good, playing underneath, you can get dropped on. And, you know, eventually if the ring pulls outside of Charles, which it has to, you know, you do see some sort of situation where usually, you know, someone's pushing through the blast doors or just dropping on you and you have to be ready for that.

01:26:50 Und ich würde gerne sein, was in den Blast-Torz gehen, weil du einfach nur auf den Backend-Trials gehen kannst, eher auf der Skyhook-Side, wo Passion ist. Das ist der Ort, wo du in jeder Linie ist, dass du mit Countdown auf der Skyhook-Side gehenst, und du bist in der Korne, weil du ein Team in der Trials ist. Sie versuchen, eine Möglichkeit zu pushen durch die Caustic-Barrels und die Smoke-Smoke.

01:27:14 But if you approach here, you're still gonna be in the line of sight of the teams like Forge, who have control over the small glitter house north of Trials. Mmm. No, I think that's, yeah, I think you're totally right there. The, uh, the western side of Trials, definitely, um, a little easier to take control of. But, uh, Made in Heaven, they're gonna...

01:27:35 Let's do what they can here with... Wow! I mean, just that flag looks pretty flimsy to hide behind, so I'm not surprised they're getting knocked there. By a little napkin, and it's been shaved off as zero. Nothing gets taken down. Made in Heaven now having to divert their attention from behind, because I believe that may be Lucifer Fonz, who have capitalized and dropped right on top of them. Two knocks for them, and only leaving Arctic as the last one alive for Made in Heaven before he gets sent back to the lobby with the rest of his squad.

01:28:04 Hmm. Well, they have met their maker in the end. And so, Lucille de France, take control of the bottom. As we said, you know, you don't really want to sit down in the middle of trials there. Too many angles on the way up. But this is Amit and ANC outplayed over at Harvester. Looks like they will actually make it out. Oh, maybe not all of them. No, I think maybe only one successfully took the evac. And yeah, they're going back to...

01:28:33 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

01:29:01 Und sie wissen, dass es 40% worse ist. Weil das Zip-Line ist auf dem Balloon gesetzt. So sie schauen nach sie. Vielleicht bekommen sie einen Revenge. Und sie sind nicht gewöhnt. Sie sehen, dass das Sentinels ein. Es sieht, dass es ein Bloodsplatter ist. So er hat sie literally won. Sie bekommen das Follow-Up von der Bowcheck. Zarafer.

01:29:25 Forty percent worse now down another teammate as they're looking to just keep rotating. Overlook does have a replicator if Mandy had not used it before. And 07 also engaging in this fight by these buildings on the south side. Kiernaski with just a Mozambique. But the gold shotgun barrel to make the magic happen. Disrupt the rounds in Amphi's hand. Looking to see if he can take a different angle. Outplay do get eliminated in your feed as Omic get that final player out of the outskirts of Harvester.

01:29:52 Trying to take it to the high ground here, but while they do take this fight over by the high ground of Mirage of 12, it's two Rattlet controller taking their time to rotate through staging, so they do have enough time to try to take this fight here, get the beam on the alternator, 30-30 shots, and while they wrap around in a sandwich, 202 get eliminated with 15 squads left.

01:30:09 You saw the power of that perk coming through there. That was a really good demonstration of Residual Toxins, the level 3 upgrade for Caustic that, you know, you can see them through the Nox Gas a little bit longer. And you can see the other player wasn't even in the Nox Gas, right? But it was like you had that Digithreat lock on to them. So yeah, it's a strong perk at the moment. I know we had maybe like, I think it was north of 80% of people.

01:30:39 Es ist all über das Vision. Du kannst es auch 40% worse, mit Mandia alive, zu machen die Magic passieren, als er als Solo rotates.

01:30:54 ... ... ... ... ...

01:31:09 bei der Rockslide. Manchmal sieht man die Circle aus der Fence Line auf der Lot, das ist nach dem Bambino, so es ist nicht ein schlechtes Rotation Point, als man sich die Trial-Side ist komplett aus. Und 2-Ratsman-Controller, das Team mit Reddragons, die bei der Tunnel-Side sind, ist einfach nur die Replicator, bevor sie das Rotate machen.

01:31:34 We'll do what you can with those. Looks like Jukes has picked up the bow check from that care package, I'm going to assume. You never know. Might have been from a, you know, a world drop there, but typically you would say the least enviable of the four weapons that are currently available to grab out of that. The ring does pull even further.

Spiele im späteren Verlauf des Spiels, Team-Rotationen und wichtige Kämpfe

01:32:03

01:32:03 um, over towards that Trials Mountain in 40 seconds. We'll get, uh, another look probably at, uh, at trying to work out which side of it it does end up on.

01:32:18 Oh, catching them on the crafter. Served on the silver platter here. They know it's a solo and they know exactly who it is. Mandy being the Pathfinder. Entrepreneurs, they now take advantage of the replicator themselves. They're just going to let that solo go away for right now. See Aurora is still on that north side if they can call him out. Vex is going to be right behind him. They actually may be able to scoop up.

01:32:44 From behind Red Dragon. With this circle closing in. With 2 Rats 1 Controller. Being still in the circle behind them. By that choke point.

01:32:52 Wow, Vex. I mean, you saw you had the care package ready there, so I don't know if that means that Vex has used their Supply Drop yet. Obviously, all three of them, you know, trying to pick up some quick medkits there, because obviously they're taking Zone 3 damage now. It does start to tick away at you, but with Red Dragon just in front of them, can they chase that down? Maybe grab a kill? Is this time for Babylon's to pop Beast of the Hunt?

01:33:18 Um, it looks like, uh, he's actually gonna take it a little bit more chill. They can definitely go back down to, uh, the Vault Tunnel to go through to Skyhook here. There are safer options, safer ways for Vex to navigate this game.

01:33:31 Ich weiß nicht, dass das auch, weil er auch die Scan ist, wenn man durch die Schöpfe ist, wenn man hier ein Team ist. Aber sie wissen, es ist komplett klar, sie werden für die Safer Rotate gehen. Sie können Re-Stabilize hier mit der Lifeline Drone, damit sie nicht mehr mit den Med-Kits benutzen. Die Action hat noch nicht geholfen, für Lucite de Flaunt, auf der Bottom-End des Trials.

01:33:58 Und es wird in der Active Zone bleiben, Vicky, weil du irgendwie called es. Es sieht aus wie wir auf das Haus sind, das kleine Haus zu der Norte von Trials. Das heißt, dass ein Teil von der Norte sein wird, dass ein Teil der TSM-Phoenix bleibt. Ihr TSM-Phoenix ist ein Teil von dort, aber sie sind in ein bisschen ein Problem.

01:34:21 Having to play for their life here too. They have not been doing so well. But these PK shots do be hitting for Fraz here. Gets another knock at that. It's Aurora playing inside of this building. And as they scoop up right behind them. They do clean up that one last member. Now as Aurora take control over the roof side. Full English. Get eliminating your feed in 15th. Aurora taking control over this building for now. The here. The bang ult being unleashed. Still trying to get the finisher though. And on that last player trying to run away.

01:34:49 E6 get eliminated and so do 40% worse unfortunately Mandy and that Pathfinder fridge hitbox is easily gonna get secured Phoenix here

01:35:05 Still in all sorts of trouble. And there we go. Aurora will actually finish them off. Just gonna have to tank. No! Ooh! Damn, that was, uh... I'm literally impressed by that, being able to, like, just sit on the lip there so you can shoot the fence. That's someone who's... Yeah, they've been playing, you know, streamer building in Fragment, haven't they?

01:35:28 Ja, definitiv 07. No, uh...

01:35:51 I don't know how to play that one, no doubt about it. They're taking some shots there from Cybercats, who are just ranging a little bit south, because they're looking for their next move. Maybe they're not keen to go up against, go next to a north of them, so they're like, hey, maybe we can wrap around the south side, head up to Skyhook, just gauging their options at this point.

01:36:13 Um, this is Aurora, uh, trying to gatekeep Red Dragon in 2R1C. Aurora actually have a very good spot, um, over here on the north side of the tracks. That is to say, if they don't get griefed by Forge, that could take the high ground of the building by the tiny lot, right where they're... Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

01:36:31 Every shot, make it count, Nine Impulse. Red Dragon, they get eliminated. They were unfortunately pinched with two rats, one controller, but Aurora looking like Legolas out here with the bow check. He's out here counting the orc kills, isn't he? That was pretty impressive there by Nine Impulse, but there's definitely still a few scalps left to be had. Two rats, one controller are still to the east of them here.

Endgame-Szenarien und Team-Strategien im finalen Ring

01:36:56

01:36:56 So Aurora kann auch für die Kills, mit 30 Sekunden left hier zu machen, um das in die Ring zu machen.

01:37:06 So you guys want to capitalize here as they fall from the sky. It is Cybercats landing on top of them from the other side of Trials. That was the Hail Mary evac where Valkyrie Skyward died for here on the other side. As Aurora get landed on, they lose out on 9 in plus. Nothing that Harddecki could really do here other than survive at 1 HP. He pops the shield back.

01:37:28 Und Oi-Rain tries to get some Suppressed Fire onto Forge, that are not leaving that building. They are not giving up that space, but unfortunately for Hordecki, he doesn't have the Suppressed Fire to cross that distance. Oh, guys, you have to feel so bad for Aurora in that situation. I mean, they've just stayed alive, but yeah, we've got more teams fighting inside here. Amit!

01:37:50 Will take that LCDF, so they defend. That was the LCDF playing inside Trials. They have to move out through the passageway there, but Omit will not let them pass if we're going to keep those Lota references going. Passion UA, they're still playing up the top there near the sniper bin on top of Trials. And it's Forge actually in the Godspot holding the building next to where this zone finishes. But just quickly going back to that Aurora fight there, Vicky. I mean, I feel like these players had a year

01:38:19 Also, you know, where things made sense. You know, Valkyrie wasn't in the game and you didn't have to worry about random things just falling from the sky and completely griefing your game. But Aurora, that's not the case anymore. We've got some Valks back in the lobby and sometimes you just have to take it.

01:38:36 Und die Evac Towers zu machen, die sich presenten für die Teams, die nicht in die Valfe sind. Die Evac Towers ist etwas, was manchen zu suchen. Aber während Omit sieht, dass die Circles closing in in den nächsten 10 Sekunden sind, wir schauen, was ihre nächste moves sind.

01:39:06 I have no flash! I have no flash! We need to fight! We need to fight! We need to fight!

01:39:31 He just fried them with the Volt. You know, I'm leaving him basically one shot. Oh, can they even make it back? Oh, Arty dodges the tick of zone damage to stay alive. That was... Oh man, making that res work at just the very last moment there. But I don't think they're going to last long. It looks like 2R1CC. They smell some blood. They sense the weakness. And they're going to go in and try and finish off Passion UA here.

01:40:00 We're suddenly going down. There you go. Okay, three teams left alive. Forge have just been holding the strong in that building. Go next. They moved up. I think they were playing the tower on the western side of Trials here, and they have taken up residence in the RV. So now that is our three teams left alive. Triple blues, triple purples, and triple reds.

01:40:23 Und die Triple Blues wirklich erinnert was, was passiert, wenn du Spiel für die Final-Circle-Positionierst, von der sehr Beginn des Spiel. Die Gonex haben auf der Backseite, von der Sniper Tower, wenn du in den Trials zu gehen, um das Small Lot zu gehen.

01:40:36 Ja, ich glaube, die Rock ist ziemlich gut.

01:41:04 Okay, I guess it could come a lot down to, you know, the team comps we've got coming out of these players as well, right? With Haraka, you know, does he have the EMP available is a big question here. And then, of course, for Phoenix and Tolkien, do they have their gas grenades ready to go? You can see the placement of that pylon over there from LCDF. Will they be able to find another spot to try and eat one of those caustic ultimates? I'd say unlikely, but you never know.

01:41:34 Hmm, ich habe zu sehen. Ich liebe die Wind Conditions hier, besonders mit Double Cossack von Go-Next-Forge. Two Rats-One-Controller, die dann sofort sofort die Barrel-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Berrell-Ber

01:41:56 I mean, maybe even the Bloodhounds here, Vicky, have, you know, which ultimate, sorry, level 3 upgrade have they gone for? If they go for Taste of Blood, all of a sudden you're getting those extra 25s when you get the Nox, as you see some incredible Arc Stars putting Go Next in a horrible position here.

01:42:15 Oh, but two R1C. See the EFP go out. See that they're hiding inside that corner. Try to close in the gap. Sends the nade up into the sky. Avoids the Arcstar here while they are able to find Bonvino. Go next. Get eliminated. Our final two squads. That's two rats, one controller. In a field of Noxgas. Take it with the Prowler in hand. And a heavy frag game at that. Missy just went crazy with seven KP at the very end. Just by themselves.

Analyse des Spiels und der Teamleistungen

01:42:43

01:42:43 Damn, 7kp on the lifeline with 11 overall for the team. That's a pretty sick effort there from two rats, one control. I also liked how they played that final five, Vicky, with Haraka coming out, almost like baiting for the team, right? It was like, you know, a lot of the value there for the crypto is popping that EMP. Once that's done, it's like, well, I don't know, what else are you going to do, right? He sits out there, takes a lot of the attention away, and then the other two move around.

01:43:12 und sind able zu Endeffekt. So, ich denke, definitiv gut juggling von Aggro da von 2 Rats und 1 Controller zu gewinnen.

01:43:22 And what was also amazing, aside from the timing on that EMP, the option coverage that we just saw from two rats and controller with the circle closing in, the EMP, and then the placement of nades, knowing that they had full blue Evos because of the EMP2 giving them that intel they didn't know beforehand, allowed them to know, all right, well, if we place these nades, they're gonna be forced to try to wrap around the fence line. They see that I may be low, and then my teammates already have a nice distance away from me from behind where they can hold split positioning and then focus fire the moment that they reveal their face.

01:43:51 Ja, ich glaube, die andere Sache ist, wenn du Blues in den Endgame hast, ist es nicht wirklich erwartet. Als du gesagt hast, das wäre ein bisschen ein Signal, dass sie das Team down können. Sie sind ein bisschen weaker. Aber du hast auch gedacht, dass sie nicht die zweite Perk haben. Sie sind nicht in full Power yet. Sie haben keine sehr wichtige Übersetzung von den Level 3 Evo.

01:44:16 Taking a look at our final results for match number 32, Ratsfoot Controller. They finish the game with not just the dub, but 11 KP. Forge that were inside those buildings from the very beginning, avoiding all the chaos over by Trials. Finish in second with 6 KP to their name, even looking all the way down. Patch anyway, still stands in the top five here with 6 KP, getting fourth place. We saw a lot of these teams, though, get this KP, getting out of that countdown through Trials and Skyhook's side of that.

01:44:46 Final Circle. I mean, honestly, shout out to Forge for getting the 6 KP. When you have a spot that strong that you can literally sit in for 99% of the game, often you won't see them pick up that many KP because they really are just banking on playing that end zone. So actually, I think 6 is a decent, a reasonable conversion there.

01:45:05 It's great, and that's considering that Forge lands at Countdown, so they got there immediately, avoiding a lot of that fight that we saw a lot of teams get pinched in by Skyhook in Trials. On the second page, the teams that weren't so lucky, even though they found some KP 202.

01:45:19 5K P, but going down in 16th because of the third party that came in right afterwards. TSM Phoenix surviving a lot longer this time around, but once again, we're not able to clutch that fight against who I believe was Aurora inside of that building by Skyhook. Again, that's where we saw a lot of teams fall for a circle pool like that. But in that second half, we still see the 50-50s like mine that they are losing at the beginning of these games, you know.

01:45:43 Yeah, I mean, we're definitely getting, I'm going to keep talking about it, you know, maybe until the end of this split, Vicky, because it is a new phenomenon in Apex for Season 20, where we're just seeing those bottom 10 teams pick up barely any points. It's very much concentrated in the top 10. It's like, if you can't make it through that first half of the lobby, you will rarely see any reward for it on the scoreboard.

01:46:09 What a crazy Game 3 it's been so far. Genome, I'm gonna send you off on a break right now. I'm gonna bring back Rain Day and Dia to help me break down that last game on World's Edge because the action don't stop here, guys. No, it doesn't. Great job. Obviously, throughout that entire game, you and Genome made it so interesting. And I love the conversations we're getting into now. And even bringing up stuff like they're not a full power. That's not a thing that happened in Apex before. You actually don't get some of your skills.

01:46:36 Maybe ever in this game, which is so phenomenal. But I want to leave it to you, Dia, because you've been watching and waiting as well. What were your takeaways seeing that Lifeline and Myze take the W in that final game? It was a very cool way to manage that last ring. And a lot of it honestly had to do with not just like things like the Crypto and the Lifeline, but the geography of that last zone. In a weird way, 2R1C's win condition became keep everyone else inside.

01:47:03 Und dann haben wir das gemacht. Und wir haben zu gehen durch die Zone und mit anderen Teams zu tun. Es war zu viel für alle. Es war ein viel. Es war ein viel. Und vielleicht brauchen wir einen extra-Eyes. Wir haben drei Pairs hier. Let's bring in den vierten, weil es Zeit für die Halftime ist, wo wir mit dem Mann haben. Hockies joins uns. Was ist Hockies? Wie sind Sie, Mann? Ich bin großartig. Was sind Sie? Wir sind großartig. Wir sind großartig. Wir sind großartig. Wir sind großartig. Wir sind großartig. Wir sind großartig. Wir sind großartig.

Diskussion über das Apex Asia Festival und Team-Strategien

01:47:33

01:47:33 Just you've become and stayed a perennial figure in EMEA and across Apex. And before we jump into today's games and this Pro League, I want to say what that actually means. You were invited to something a lot of people saw but didn't have a chance to speak with you on broadcast about the Apex Asia Festival, where you, TSM, a few other teams got a chance to be in Japan and experienced that just a few weeks ago. Walk us through a little bit of how that was and any takeaways. What a beautiful country Japan is.

01:48:02 Obviamente, das war mein erstes Mal da. Es war eine fantastische Erfahrung. Ich hätte nicht gefragt, ob eine bessere Reise in generell. Ich fühle mich, die ganze Sache war perfekt. Nichts würde ich ändern.

01:48:16 The quality of the games were amazing. We got to try out Olympus. We got to play TDM. I got to team up with TSM. I got to meet a lot of the APAC pros. I got to meet a lot of the APAC fans who are even more amazing. The genuinity and the overall excitement from the fans have just been amazing. The overall trip was amazing. I couldn't ask for something better.

01:48:38 I want to follow up from that, actually. From your experience and the quality of the games that you were able to experience there, too, I mean, that's a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to also play against a lot of those teams that you may not be able to play off against unless it's on LAN or whatever. And now being able to get that experience, you guys are fired up to do your best here to Mia to make it to LAN yourself. You guys have been amazing, currently sitting in No. 5 in the overall standings. How has Season 20 treated you after taking that experience over there in Japan and now bringing it into your own game?

01:49:08 Ich denke, wir haben viele gute Dinge in Japan gelernt. Obviamente, die in Land sind ein bisschen anders in den Online. Wir haben ein bisschen ein First-Hand-Experience auf was die nächste Land wird. However, wir haben nicht zu viel Scrims oder Practice gemacht. So, unsere neuen Charakter-Development haben ein bisschen slow-started. Aber ich fühle mich auf jeden Fall und ich freue mich auf die Meadow, für sicher.

01:49:38 Now, as much as I enjoyed watching it, I'm here to talk to you about the games that are happening today. So let's take a look at some of the final circles, because we've got three very different ones that I want to get a pro player's perspective on. The first time, we ended up going over towards stacks, where the fight from Dome actually ended up being one of the most impactful things for full English.

01:50:01 Ja, ich meine, in diesen Zonen die Stacks sind sehr, sehr congested und werfen die Seite des Dome gewinnen und einfach nur die Leute sterben. So, definitiv eine Priorität der Rotate und nicht auf der congested Seite, wo es 7 Teams verletzten in einem Ort ist.

01:50:18 You know, I noticed that the compositions that you're running this season, at least so far, have still had Horizon in them. And that's, I think on World's Edge, you guys are running Horizon. Do you think that having a pick like that actually changes the way that a zone like this one plays out?

01:50:36 Ich denke, Horizon in generell hat man mehr Versatilität, in welcher Fights man will. Sie ist die einzige Charaktion in der Spiel, die kann aufwärtsen, um die High Grounds zu holen, um die Aufwand zu holen, um die Aufwand zu holen, um die Aufwand zu holen, um die Grenade zu holen. Sie ist die einzige Charaktion, die kann das tun. Sie bringt viel Wert.

01:50:59 I mean, certainly in a situation like this actually of Game 2, you would have seen that verticality be really useful for everyone but Red Dragon. This was an awkward position because Red Dragon didn't look like they were actually in a game-winning spot, but everybody focused them anyway.

01:51:16 Ja, ich meine, die Red Dragon geteilt wurde. Kahlsack geht nach dem Sentineln von Machschraef, so ein bisschen einfacher da. Wenn sie alle standen alive sind, dann könnte sie ein bisschen besser werden. Aber jetzt haben sie versucht, alle zu kämpfen Highground, das macht die Wind von Lowground viel mehr freer.

01:51:33 Yeah, this was a really funny game to watch play out as well, because that fight turns into another, which turns into another, and it is difficult, especially in endgames, to navigate when you're committing too hard. At what point do you just decide, well, let's just play for a second?

01:51:51 Ich denke, es ist an dem Punkt, dass man keine andere Option hat und man einfach für die Punkte spielt. 3 Kp und ein 2nd Platz ist die gleiche Punkte als 3 Kp und ein Wunsch. Man muss sich die Maths anschauen und sehen was ist besser.

01:52:07 Now, furthering on that, this one was a really odd zone. I mentioned this earlier on Desk as being a situation where 2R1C almost just wanted to keep everyone inside. If anything, Forge likely has more autonomy here, but with Caustic and Bloodhound, can you actually make your way out of this building and challenge 2R1C safely?

Strategische Spielweise und Vorhersagen für die ALGS EMEA Pro League

01:52:29

01:52:29 Du kannst definitiv. Ich denke, die Truck-team und die Bildung-team hier waren sehr, sehr passiv. In diesen Zonen, du musst definitiv machen, bevor die Zonen ist aufzunehmen, damit du mehr Platz hast. Weil wenn du die Zonen tankst, während du kämpfst, dann bist du an ein paar Disadvantages von Anfang an. Du musst dich erkennen, wann ist dein Zeitpunkt der Bildung, wann ist dein Zeitpunkt, und wann ist dein Zeitpunkt zu kämpfen, und wann ist dein Zeitpunkt zu kämpfen. Denn wenn du mit zwei Ticks von Gas bist, wenn du mit 50 HP Disadvantages bist, ist sehr schwer zu gewinnen.

01:52:59 Es ist eigentlich was Caustic Gas in der Endgame. Und das war gegen Lifeline, auch. Ende des Alls, der Welt wird aufgewachsen. Aber mit Teams wie PassionUA und RedDragon in der leaden. Ich will dir deine Rede auf RedDragon. Sie haben eigentlich nicht gewonnen, aber sie sind so nahe zu der Top-Leaderboard. Sie sind wirklich sehr stark heute. Sie haben natürlich auch eine rough start. Ich denke, sie sind in den 20ern. Es wäre gut für sie, um, eine Chance an den Finals.

01:53:29 You know, Hockies, we have three done, three more to go. Passion UA currently sitting on top. We love the breakdown, but now it's time to kind of look at this and maybe give some predictions. We only have a few more match days as well. What team is standing out to you, either making a move or that you feel over these next three desperately has to start doing something?

01:53:50 I feel like in EMEA, it's a toss-up at the moment. Only the top 3 right now is pretty much somewhat safe. So I feel like anyone between top 4 to top 17 can make land at this point. Then it's gonna be a Fiesta and a Bloodbath.

01:54:07 Well, you know, I think that's a great spot to be. Makes things interesting for us, at least. Maybe not as a player, unless you're in that top three, but it certainly means there is a chance. Hockey's continue to stay consistent. You guys have been doing great this season. Thanks so much for joining us on this Halftime Recap. Thanks so much for having me. Hockey's from Alliance. I mean, you think of EMEA, you think of top teams, whether the rosters change, they had to say goodbye to Yuki. Still, Alliance and Hockey's under his leadership.

01:54:35 Always a threat to anyone in their lobby. But you know what's not a threat? This is a guarantee. If you are watching Apex Legends over these next few days, you are going to get a holo spray just by watching for an hour. That's right. Our gift to you. And it works on any of the Apex streams that you'll be watching. So here we'll have a featured views, holo spray. Look at this, fellas. And also kick it off March 12th to 26th. There'll be a Rampart 1. As you can see, it moves on to Maggie.

01:55:05 und Loba und Valkyrie. So stay tuned, just watch them Apex. Good things are coming your way all season long. All right, that's it for the Halftime Recap, which means we got more gameplay coming right up. We switched maps though and head to Storm Point. And you know what? Casters, I think it's time to take it away.

01:55:23 We just saw in that last circle.

Analyse der Spielstrategien und Team-Rotationen auf Storm Point

01:55:52

01:55:52 Ratswing controller. Now, as we dive into our game number four. Yeah, and we've already seen so much experimentation on World's Edge. In a weird way, with the way that these endgame circles play out, getting to them has become so much more important, and we're seeing a lot more Valkyrie than we did pre-season 20, especially if you're going to the south side of the map, like Echo HQ, Devastated Coast, where we've seen a lot of focus, or even places like Barometer.

01:56:21 Having Valk to come from Cascade, Wall, Zeus, Lightning Rod is incredibly powerful.

01:56:27 You go the literal mile with that skyward dive, especially with that first perk that gives you a higher apex once you start flying through the sky. I remember those Echo HQ final circles too for Match Day 3. There were so many of those southern circles. And then we get to take a look at our POIs for the day because the teams that we had on our site, Dia, were teams that needed to perform. And they just so happened to also be part of some of these 50-50s that we're witnessing on Storm Point. Specifically, Passion versus Forge.

01:56:56 over by Cascade Falls.

01:57:23 Jetzt haben wir die Möglichkeit, die Top-Halfe der Map zu haben, aber sie müssen durch Made in Heaven zu machen, das ist nicht einfach. Made in Heaven haben mich gefühlt.

01:57:32 Yeah, it's actually crazy to also see how Red Dragon's been doing today with a complete turnaround of their performance from earlier on in the split. It's that comeback story that we're all waiting to see if it could really play out now that we made that transition from World's Edge and their success into Stormpoint to see if they can continue that. As we take a look at some of the different compositional swaps, I'm looking at 202 if they're sticking with the Seer, something that...

01:57:54 We've seen before last week play out, two rats with patrollers still sticking to what works for them and that lifeline. Same thing could be said for 40% worse. With Mandy being on that Pathfinder, it doesn't matter how big that hurtbox is. It doesn't matter if he's the size of a fridge. Mandy is still out here trying to make magic happen with the path. You know what's interesting is seeing Seer picked up. This time, Miscamp actually swaps out Bloodhound for Seer.

01:58:23 So a lot more ability to shut down your opponents with lessened scans. All of these different legend picks getting mixed up as we move on to Stormpoint reminds me of a quote from a wise man that I heard once, Vicky. Get comfortable being uncomfortable because you cannot predict what is about to happen in these next three games. That's how you grow at the end of the day, Dia. You can't be comfortable if you feel like there's no more room to grow.

01:58:52 Und es ist Zeit zu sehen, dass es so viele 50-50s zu sehen, dass es in Zoo Station Wall, oder in Cascade Falls ist. Mitt ist hier. Das ist auch das gleiche P.O.I. als wir expecting, FullEnglisch. Und sie sind eigentlich auf den Lowgrounds, im Moment zu nehmen, nicht zu viel Zeit, oder zu anderen Split-Angeln.

01:59:10 Somehow, someway, Horizon still isn't down. Full anglish are really making this zip up work for them. And even through the following conduit heals, they almost manage to clinch the fight. Omits angles just a bit too powerful. But when you fight that early, you do know that you're walking into a bit of a 50-50, a bit of a situation you really can't control. The last with the sentinel shots?

01:59:37 came in clutch for that fight so quickly done here for a minute and talking about some of these northern circles dia we're taking a trip over to that north side may even pull towards the outskirts of that command center northern building closer to wall in between both of those poys we're gonna have to see because made in heaven also coming out of that poy from that 50 50 it looks like

02:00:03 Yeah, it's interesting actually seeing that Made in Heaven have been able to hold on to Wall and Red Dragon prioritizing the performance that they've already had today. One that, as we said, is unexpected, perhaps even for them, have chosen to make another move and chosen to be uncomfortable playing out of Devastated Coach. This is going to completely change their macro, but it saves them from the gamble of whether they make it out alive, manage to get points or not. This way, at least it's more likely to get placement points.

02:00:31 E6 can't have everything. Devastated Coach and Launchpad here, that means that Red Dragons are going to be right behind E6 on this very similar rotate as we take a look at Cenote Cave and Aurora, who are talking about the difference between World's Edge and Stormpoint. Stormpoint provides more of an opportunity to boost those evil shields with the Flyers that you could shoot down, the Spider Caves as well, next to Cenote Cave, aside from the evil Harvester that you would find around the map.

02:00:57 And especially when you're playing on the edge like a team like Aurora is, you've got the chance for not only all of this PvE, but to make use of multiple POI's Evo Harvesters. A squad like Passion does not have it that easy. Good smoke from Futa, but with 0-0 on 50 HP, who's to say you even make it up this hill alive? Somehow 0-0 does it. And while I might not be comfortable in this spot, at least you can take a second to heal.

02:01:23 Wir haben hier auch einen Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter, ein Schotter.

02:01:53 What we should be seeing from Cybercats is a Valk ult to go over Pylon, because dipping down into the low ground, even with Banks motes, is going to be extraordinarily punishing. So you're either waiting for 2R1C to leave, or you're Valking over them. But you cannot engage them by sliding all the way down when you see them in the center. Fortunately enough...

02:02:13 2R1C sind zu bewegen, ihre eigene Zone-Rotate. So, instead of looking for KP, still trying to play out into the later game. It'll mean good things for a team like CyberCats and all the other teams that approach from the South. Even squads like Passion, while Made in Heaven, are definitely set up for the endgame. Talking about where that circle is going to be pulling towards. Maybe that building on the high ground of the zipline. They're playing on the outskirts of that.

02:02:38 Made in Heaven, having to also look behind them with Ome. 07 fighting inside a Spider Cave, inside of that low ground spot.

02:02:46 Es ist Forge, die Eliminate, als sie gewinnen sind zwischen den beiden Teams.

02:03:12 An ANC Outplay just watched this happen. They're under no pressure to actually move up onto the high ground as this spot that we saw Made in Heaven prioritized all the way to the north, north of Even Wall, is a spot that we haven't actually seen in Endzone close in EMEA just yet. It's much more likely, given the historical data that we have, that it pulls over towards ANC Outplayed and the squad that they're currently gatekeeping, Passion UA.

02:03:37 Und beaming hier. And he actually manages to get away. Pops the Shield Bat, but checks. Avoids the Creeping Barrage. And finds Passion UA eliminated. Outplayed. They come out on top from that fight and go next. Speed Eraser managing to get away from that chaos. And is actually just prioritizing their rotate after having the Ring console. Gets to the Replicator at the same time. Get anything extra that they may need for this. Before they probably rotate from the north side of the wall. Where we saw earlier on Omit and Made in Heaven.

02:04:07 Go Next are so incredibly close to their next Evo as well. A little bit of raucous driving will stall them out in Wall, but 07 are not slowing down one bit. With Mind having just one player left, Sanca can do very little, especially when you're not...

02:04:24 You're not getting any health back on an ult. You're not getting any double attack skin. You've got no health, no perks, and now no chance to collect points in this game. 07 with six kills so far. I have an incredible start.

02:04:38 Just been delivered in their open hands as everyone's been trying to rotate through this spider cave side on that low ground neighboring command center here. They just have to make sure that they cover each opening of the cave spots here. We know that Outplay is holding 1. 202 is holding the high ground side. So they don't have to worry about them unless they just drop down and try to contest them from that side here too. And we know that E6, as you can see right here, are rotating from Lightning Rod. But Gonex are holding that...

02:05:07 ...inclined side, looking at Vex on the high ground, trying to make sure that they're not going to get pinched here. But it's a very easy spot for Gomex to get hit from Maiden Heaven on the other side as they're holding the Survey Beacon. Especially if 07 want to take this fight. There is a trade-off. Gomex are sat in a better position for the zone, one where they're less likely to be sandwiched later. But at the same time, 07 have the chance to pick up so many more kills as they already have.

Taktische Manöver und Team-Interaktionen in späten Spielphasen

02:05:36

02:05:36 Diese beiden Teams und ihre Interaktion werden die Fähigkeit von vielen anderen, vielleicht sogar sogar als LC-DF, die, während der Kampf mit Passion jetzt, werden sie jetzt noch nicht mehr über ihre Rotate zu den Norden. Stefan findet sich in dieses Engagement hier, auf der Slight-Low-Ground, still playing auf der Edge des Circle. Ich habe mich zu bemerken, ob es ein Third-Party möglich ist, als Outplates hat das High-Ground.

02:06:00 Loses out on his shield. Heiner having to re-stabilize. He pops that shield back for now. But nope, that's the third pretty coming in from the other side. Having to watch out. Upland is shooting at them from a distance. Passion getting involved here. Dropping down. Gets the beam. It's not just the problem, but the Hemlock in hand with the Hipfire as Lesithirphons get cleaned up and OP make their way to get invited to the party.

02:06:22 Can ANC Outplayed actually outplay though? Because they are coming in off the back of a reset, a team that should be fully ready for them, and getting shot from above doesn't do them any favors. ANC Outplayed get outplayed, outblanked, outmanned now, and Willem does a lot of work picking up a singular kill, but walking right at Acosta, Gat's not helping him either. ANC Outplayed go down for their greed.

02:06:49 No outplaying here. If anything, that was all henchmen creeping up, colliding from the back opening of the building and getting that beam, getting two knocks and a lovely follow from the rest of his team. More KP on the board. Compassion now as we take a look at two rats, one controller, having the high ground here by Stormcatcher.

02:07:09 Ich glaube, das ist Red Dragons, die auf die Low-Ground spielen, mit 14 Quads still left in der Mitte der Rotate. Aber ich möchte, dass Misty hat so einen tollen Tag, so far. Sie haben wirklich gut, und mit Lifeline... ...having Red Weapons? Das kann ein bisschen helfen. Das Additional Power, mit Crypto.

02:07:30 And the chance to EMP Red Dragon, should they stay here, take the fight, is going to ultimately put 2R1C in a much better position. One so powerful that Red Dragon instead elect to likely tank more zone damage for their rotate, moving down to the south, and now likely having the opportunity to move all the way through Cascade and into the other side of Command Center.

02:07:53 What's going on on the high ground? Over here by Command Center is TSM Phoenix that have the height above the ziplines. They hear footsteps. It's Cybercats playing on the low ground. But there's a lot of space in Command Center for even three to four teams to coexist here. So with two rats, one controller, with their quick rotate that we saw before, they actually might find themselves right in between TSM Phoenix and Cybercats.

02:08:17 I really like the way TSM Phoenix are playing this as well. It may look a bit awkward just gatekeeping the ziplines in Command Center, but if you think critically about the ring...

02:08:27 It's a much better position for them to prioritize. Nobody should be rotating in behind, because if anything, just by holding onto high ground, you've got an easy walk-in towards the area immediately surrounding Zeus Station and the Future Rings, with plenty of flexibility on things like Falcults, Evac Towers as well. You've got to imagine it's going to go well for them. For Cybercats, we'll have to face off against teams like Red Dragon, who opted into this longer rotate to not have to deal with 2R1C.

02:08:55 I'd like you to talk about the potential rotates there too, especially since that circle is pulling all the way to the north side by where that Survey Beacon has been, next to Maiden Heaven, who have not left from that spot while still trading with Omit. We have to see how that's been going down here as we take a look at Red Dragon, looking right by the Spiders. It seems that maybe trying to gatekeep them from Command Center, but no teams showing their face yet through the bunker doors, so they may be able to just rotate right around there and try to prioritize where that circle's going to be pulling.

02:09:23 Through the Smokes, not even going too aggressive yet. Still playing off of the low ground. Impulse trades some damage, but can't afford to commit too hard, because now the Aces revealed Aurora are being shot in the back. Cybercats are walking up behind them, and this is why Aurora waited. This is why they played patient, because they knew that the only squad to deal with was not going to be the one that lied just above them.

02:09:51 Und Hardecki hat ihn hart für den Entry-Frag-Opportunität von Cybercats, aber sie wollen nicht die Distanz sie haben, weil sie ihre Backs zu den Highground haben, um andere Team zu haben, eine Free-Opportunität zu rotatieren, denn das Cave-Side, das wir 07-Fighting in, ist in der Circle gerade jetzt. Und sie wollen nicht mehr Zeit für andere Teams, wie die one wir sehen, aus dem Command-Center. Red Dragon creeps up, gerade hinter Cybercats.

02:10:18 So do you fight Aurora, the kings of EMEA, this split, or do you fight Red Dragon on the other side? Those are the unfortunate decisions that you're dealing with coming out of Wall, where a team like Omid just gets to chill here given their early position. Luka should be able to heal up with the nice rock cover that they've got, and Omid shares space with Made in Heaven. Neither one really envious of the other. Omid cannot push up to Made in Heaven, nor would they want to with the zipline.

02:10:47 and likewise much prefer their spot in zone. Meanwhile, Cybercats from the skies landing with some natural cover by the rocksline. Getting shot at three by three different teams. They know that Aurora is still behind them on top of those buildings by wall. With the circle closing in, Aurora is going to have to move closer by that fence line that exits out of wall where Red Dragon is situated in two.

02:11:12 So Armokats actually may be able to hold on to this spot. It is a little late for Omit to commit to the low ground. Huh, Omit, come in. Today I learned. Meanwhile, though, the south end of the zone is still going to be really where we're focusing on. TSM Phoenix fighting 07 right now, even as Kairi loses all upper HP, gets nothing done in the meantime, and Brass gets cooking, but doesn't turn the heat up high enough. TSM Phoenix go down, having done...

02:11:41 Maybe 20 damage in that engagement.

02:11:45 Oh, ich kann mich nicht mit den Wingman Schuss, besonders wenn du ein Fehlschluss hast, wenn du ein Fehlschluss in den Fragschluss hast. By the way, Harddeck, talking about Fragschluss, hat sich mit dem Fragschluss in der Killfeed. Red Dragon geteilt, Passion, und dann re-engaged auf dieses Spiel. 40% Wurs kann Eliminate in der Feed mit 10 Squads leften. Und ist das ein Lifeline? Rez und ich hier in der Distanz. Looks like no Gold Knockdown hier. Ich bin jetzt mit Passion, als sie einfach mit Henchmen, auf und auf und auf und auf und auf und auf.

02:12:12 Ja, ja, ich bin auf der Ball. Ich bin auf der Ball. Ich bin auf der Ball.

02:12:37 Ich habe keine Towers, eine Back. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Ich habe keine Towers. Ich habe keine Towers. Ich habe keine Towers. Ich habe keine Towers. Ja, ich habe keine Towers. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier.

02:13:03 Stuck in a pinch, but managing to pull off the medkit. Do they fully commit to Aurora now pushing up the hill while they themselves are pinched to the team shooting at them from the left side? It is Cybercatch pinching Passion who are taking the evac. Where are you gonna go? You're just sitting ducks. Passion get eliminated off the evac.

02:13:21 Und dann sind sie einfach nicht einfach auf eine Lifeline-Squad gespielt. Das ist genau das Situation, wenn du in Lifeline lockst in. Und dann Rez über und über, auf dem Aurora nicht nur noch eine Chance an Life, aber 2 KP zu gehen. Sie gehen auf die Hillen und jetzt spielen Teams wie Gonext und O7, die Clash haben wir schon seit Zone 2 erwartet.

02:13:47 It's just from this angle, from where the circle is, they are cleaning up the squad's force to exit out of that tunnel Spider-Side. 07 losing out on two, leaving only one alive before they meet their fate versus GoNex and CyberCats. Aurora's still trying to clean up what they can. Hardecki gets pinged, though Havoc is ringing through everyone's ears. And when you got a controller in your hand, it comes even more in clutch. Aurora get eliminated and no turbo charge necessary from E6.

02:14:14 Aurora might be the kings of Aenea this split, but Swinny has held that crown for a long time and is not going to give it up this game. Seven squads left in E6. Get aggressive. Cracked, even making use of the Horizon to get even more high crunch. Take unorthodox angles and finish off yet another team. Omit are right in their crosshairs as well. This is an easy commitment down onto a duo.

02:14:41 4 Element 6. Swinny does get a decent amount of damage in, and it is taking a while to push through Conduit ult, but no amount of time is going to save you. Not when E6 have an isolated 3v2. That speedrun really coming in for them, and they're able to get a free reset while Vex and 2R1C are fighting on each end.

02:15:02 All that low ground building, Vex now trying to wrap around here while Made in Heaven are looking pretty and not trying to overcommit. They're still playing on the outskirts of where the circle is pushing. And much like Genome pointed out last game on World's Edge, in this case, we've got a squad, Made in Heaven, who are still on triple blues, who haven't...

02:15:21 ... ... ... ... ...

Finale Kämpfe und Strategien in den Schlussphasen des Spiels

02:15:41

02:15:41 Holding their back to the edge of that circle may save them because none of these teams want to overextend. The EMP will definitely give that team that information that they need if they still are on those blue evo shields. And that's going to be two Rezalim controllers that have not changed their comp. They delete the drone, they move forward, they see the black hole, and CJ gets immediately taken down. Ezek's got a lot of space off of black hole though. Can they make it work with the wingman? Slab does do a lot of damage, but ultimately...

02:16:07 3, 2 Lifelines for this final circle, for our last 3 remaining teams. And Made in Heaven with Blue Evos.

02:16:36 ...ein der einzige Squad aus hier. Aside von den anderen Teams in der Lobby. Still rocking the horizon right now. 2R1C haben sie fraggen. Sie haben double Red Evos. Vechs spielen auf der Outskirts. Die Beast of the Haft haben bereits gepackt. Und die Kraber, Fakul's Hand, ist es zu nehmen. Die Evac Towers haben sich geholfen.

02:17:00 Vex don't want to deal with 2R1C. This evac tower is honestly just something they've got to make sure doesn't get 2R1C pushing up to them. A Kraber is the perfect thing to guard an angle with, but Vex are playing so small right now, it's like they don't even want a challenge made in heaven, and when we have the full information of the shield situation on the other side, I'd like to see Vex playing a little bit more active.

02:17:28 Oh, the bait. The bait with the Moby right there, too. Taking a little bit of height. He even gets on the lip by the vent.

02:17:39 If they can't climb this, this whole game changes. If 2R1C can't actually do anything from the low ground, then suddenly they have to move on Vex, which is a very different situation. In fact, they're already looking to do it, having decided they can't make the climb. This opened things up for Made in Heaven. This completely erases what we said about Blue Shield. If two other squads are fighting, committing hard onto each other, Made in Heaven should be able to walk in.

02:18:03 Yeah, they don't even need to care about the different Evo advantage, but Clemmy understanding that has to look on the other side. The smoke grenades have been called in from both angles, while Vex are keeping an eye from their six, and in front of them were 2R1C, trying to contest them to wrap around the building. Only two favorite shots left!

02:18:19 The Hitfire shots come in, but the Wingman shots ring out and are able to still get another knock. He can't climb from that angle. Made in Heaven. Have the W presented to them on a silver platter, but they drop down. They give up height, and they're taking the ring damage. No way, right? Surely no way that this goes wrong. Made in Heaven do clinch the win, but man, did it look doubtful for a long time. They finished this game, Vicky.

02:18:49 Das ist alles Apex-Dynamik, denn im Endeffekt hat sie nur noch 3 P2020s gewonnen. Ich war ein bisschen scared, als ich zwei Mäden-Heaven-Mäden-Heaven sahne aus dem Height in die Final-Circle habe, ich dachte, wait a minute.

02:19:07 All right, one of them still held onto the high ground cinematic that managed to close out the game, shoot and clean up any KP that they could at least manage to obtain. Because since they do land in wall and they did go for that early rotate, like we were talking about why they had blue Evos, they also denied themselves the opportunity to get the KP that they needed. So although they do get the dub, I believe they finished with at least two KP by the end of that game. Yeah, this should still.

02:19:35 look like a very good game for all three squads in our final circle and it was a really interesting endgame to watch play out because this came down to everyone else especially made in heaven gambling on what resources to our once he had available you have an evac you have a horizon you have a valk you have any form of verticality and suddenly we're not getting the end game that we did but things like lifeline crypto just can't

02:20:00 Climb walls like, say, a Revenant can. And it doesn't give you the option to do anything but commit this really difficult fight onto Vex. Fascinating endgame to watch, played out, well played and well prioritized by Made in Heaven, whose zone prediction really is the thing that got them this far.

02:20:16 Especially in a zone like that where it is absolute chaos for the teams to have to play out into the open field by that incline that leads you up the hill from the zipline. So much that happened at the very end. Even 07 getting so much KP while all their teams were trying to contest them. Taking a look at the overall results after match number four made in heaven do indeed take the dub with 2 KP. 2 Rats 1 Controller with 4 KP Boat.

02:20:39 E6, Omit, 7 KP at each piece, while O7 managed to get 10 KP. Passion, this entire top 10 for this game was just entirely kill heavy. It really was, and the mid game culled a lot of teams because of that disparity between high and low ground. Teams like Aurora and Passion did both have to fight off, as those are our cutoff for the top 10. I want to take a look at the bottom because this is what really stands out to me. Red Dragon.

02:21:08 I guess they are in red actually, so it's perfectly highlighted. In 12th place right now with only one point. For most teams, I wouldn't even bother pointing it out because it's the reality of the situation. What has got to hurt here is that the zone pulled right next to the POI that they gave up to start the match. This is hurting Red Dragon because they started the day so strong and now have got to watch a game.

02:21:33 Fall away from them. There was only one 50-50 separated from what could have been their win. In a day like today, when, once again, time is of the essence and they need to get as much points as possible since they're on the bottom 20 end of the overall standings for Amiya, this game...

02:21:47 Sie wissen, dass sie einfach nur die Position haben. Sie haben über 2,800 DM. Vechs ist hinter ihnen. Uchaku kommt mit 4 Kp.

02:22:14 It's funny, because while this comp may not have verticality, they do have the ability to really make a fight feel unfair. You can't see, you have no shields, and when you knock us, it doesn't matter. 2R1C are all about making things as unfair as possible, and it's really paying off, as after four games of today, our first one on Stormpoint, they're in the lead by quite a bit.

02:22:38 This is so close to you. Look at this top 10 already. Aurora even being at 24 points and seeing the difference between them being in 10th and two rats one controller being in first with 45, it's still passionifying them. Two point difference tied alongside Omit. Red Dragon that we saw in first originally, a point difference from them between fourth and third place. Looking even at 07 that just had a pop-off game. Yeah, they didn't get the placement that they wanted, but they definitely got that KP. And then looking on the second page, teams like E6 that sees

02:23:07 2020 really hasn't been doing them justice, Dio. No, it hasn't. And I did appreciate seeing a really good call, a really good third party from E6. While it may not be their season so far, they are already pushing themselves up to close to where they ended our previous Matchday AMC. Because they ended in, I believe it was, I'm just going to check. They ended in 11th last time. And right now, sitting at 12th, just one or two more good games.

02:23:36 could net them an ultimate improvement on their placement in this matchup. And we got two more games to go, guys. On the other side of this break, we got some more ALGS action for match number five coming to you soon.

Strategische Spielweise und Teamdynamiken auf Storm Point

02:25:22

02:25:22 Welcome back, everyone. Taking a little short break and bringing Genome back after the action that we saw unfold on Storm Point for match number four. We got game number five of my favorite games coming soon, Genome. But it's been a good time so far to see how a lot of these teams have been taking advantage of not just their POIs and their rotation point, but literally sitting pretty on where these final circles have been pulling.

02:25:44 Yeah, I mean, that spot that Made in Heaven had there was, yeah, I mean, the spot was Made in Heaven, right? Like, you can't get any better than that. It's happened a couple of times so far, this series, where it feels like the teams that have taken it out haven't had to work that hard, frankly. I mean, yeah, like, take it out with triple blues? Like, just, it's a walk in the park for these guys.

02:26:05 It has been. And you know what hasn't been so easy, though? Our teams competing in the Challenger Circuit. I want to give a shout-out to our Challenger Circuit, two winners in the EMEA region, Trojan, Hot, and Calm. Legends like Taskmaster, Prestor competing out here. Coming out on top is always nice to see. And if you guys are taking a look at the Challenger Circuit and think, hey,

02:26:27 You could do better? Well, guess what? You could register your team right now to compete in the ALGS by competing in the Challenger Circuit No. 3 that partakes March 23rd through the 25th. Don't forget that registration closes March 20th. And then, of course, Challenger Circuit No. 4 that happens April 6th. Hey, my birthday! Through the 8th. So make sure you try to get those dubs there. Registration does open on March 11th for that fourth Challenger Circuit.

02:26:52 Oh, fun stuff there. And wow, okay, all right, straight into the action by the looks of it. Yep, that's the contest up at Zeus Station with full English going fully at it here with Omid.

02:27:06 Can't waste any time here, Genome. Full English. With the Horizon Gravity Lift, just trying to take height. They're not the only ones that have height here over a minute. Just trying to creep and look over to the side. They have no idea where Noises is, though, off this little lip here. Yeah, a little bit of a rap play here from Noises. Hoping to catch someone off guard. You can see only two clips of ammo from most of these people here. Single stack.

02:27:31 And a gun is all they had time to pick up before trying to take the hide. But the scan comes out, so Rapplay no longer in play because they know exactly where the other team is. Oh, and Voimush need this here. Mitt back away. The Conway coming in clutch, but look behind Luca. The follow-up is incredible with the Devo. Dropping down with the Mastiff. Gets a second knock, only leaving Serdell alive. The fadeaway shot with the Mastiff.

02:28:00 But is giving up high ground really the answer here? So Dell, you can see, does he have time to get the res off? Is it just the bait? His teammates kind of scouting over the edge of that lip. But in the end, they'll go down just to give Dell a little bit of extra ammo and a shield core swap. Oh, this is crazy. The gravity lift, though, to try to chase down on Sir Dell. 2v1 here. Light falls low. Sir Dell gets the knock.

02:28:28 Blatt hier hat extra help mit der Triple Take. Full English get eliminated, Sir Del cannot make magic happen.

02:28:40 Oh, looked like he was getting close there, didn't it? Just trying to scope him with those last couple of triple-take shots is enough to take it out. But with that contest over and done with, we divert our attention here to the map and where the circle will be going for our Game 5 here on the latter half of this series in Emiya. As we can see, it's going towards what has come to be known as Ferrari. Of course, where the...

02:29:07 Trident starts off, uh, it used to be the scene of, uh, you know, the IMC Armory.

02:29:13 Um, now lying defunct to the east of North Pad. Uh, and it seems like the circle very much will be shifting over there. It's going towards those rocks as well at the top, Vicky. And if we do see it put all the way up there, they definitely are positions that you need to keep your eye on. Um, as playing out in the sea behind those rocks, uh, you get very good vision of people coming towards you. And it's quite hard to push into that area. Yeah, we've seen a very similar circle, uh, back in NA last week alone.

02:29:42 So, 07 flies straight into one of the oranges here. Of course, there's three of them, as you can see. Currently, only one occupied.

02:30:11 We've got 202 and Forge nearby. 202. I think they've just flown in. We've got some Trident Rotates coming out. This is going next on the far west side of the map. We're going to try and roll in an under checkpoint, actually. Of course, this will get them, I think, maybe even two Evo Harvesters on the way. Next is Zooming.

02:30:40 We're round down Beast. I see one of the teams that are still over there. Just trying to take priority over the edge of where that circle is going to be pulling. Because it is a bloodbath for the squads that have to exit out of Cascade through those choke points that then lead you into the open by the south side of the Armory. So a lot of teams...

02:30:58 Oh, sorry, I was just going to say, we saw a hint there of 202, and one of the things I noticed in Game 4, Vicky, was that we didn't have any Watsons, right? I tend to think that Watson is quite a strong pick over here on Storm Point, where there's a lot of open area, and you can cut that off with her fences. We've now seen a switch over from 202 to playing a rather unusual composition here of Watson, Valkyrie, Seer.

02:31:26 I'm so glad you bring that up because that was something else I noticed too. With the lack of Watson in the lobby, considering the fact that we see an upcharge of Caustic, especially on World's Edge, and we still see it happen on Stormpoint, it's interesting too, especially with the perks that Watson could rock, you know, the falling stars out here that you can take advantage of getting those arc stars. You managed to get the zap off the gen to make sure those Caustic nades are not a problem, even with the barrels too.

02:31:52 But that isn't a present, and in a circle like this, it could really come in clutch for teams like 202, since they're already set up in that northern position. As we take a look at two rats, one controller, looking at a team by that choke exiting out of barometer here. I believe that's Passion that's calling in an evac tower as they make their rotate out of barometer.

02:32:10 Ja, ich werde versuchen, zu über den Toplen hier zu kommen. Ich hoffe, ich werde nicht aus dem Sky getrennt. Es sieht aus wie sie okay für den Moment sind. 40% worse, immer in eine Art von Chaos. In dieser Serie, es scheint. Und dann ist es einfach. Ich habe den ersten Knochen. Oh, no. E6. Ich habe das Advantage, und Mandy hat das Positional Advantage hier an dieser Height.

02:32:34 They were called out right next to the Evil Harvester 2, but misses out on that Sentinel shot, having to navigate away right alongside Shiv, they're just gonna allow E6 to take that knock, get that extra KP, and then reposition themselves up on the high ground. Well, it seems like he's trying to do his best Monsoon cosplay today, picking up the Sentinel all the time here, but unfortunately...

02:32:59 Look, he's not hitting those highlight reels like Mon was last week. Sure, it's amped up right now, but with Zarephar in his death box, right, as we see this, 40% worse have to figure out how they move through the next stage of the game. Obviously, they're not running a conduit here or a lifeline, so no support legend. That means they can just afford to give this up and try and craft the banner later. If they want it, they have to go and get it.

02:33:28 I don't see E6 trying to get out of this, even though CJ gets beamed by that Sentinel. Genome, don't worry, I got you on a highlight reel if I can make the magic happen. But it's about pressuring E6 to then give up camping that death box. Rotate back around instead of feeling confident enough to push uphill on a duo. Because even though they have the number advantage, currently 40% worse have the positioning advantage. And you can even see that they're closing the gap here.

02:33:55 Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Ja, sie werden... Oh, das Fadeaway-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel-Sentinel!

02:34:19 Um, als der letzte Mitglied der 40%-Worst wird mit einer Banner zu versuchen und Rez den. Das macht mein Herz, er hat alles, er hat alles, er hat in der Situation gemacht.

02:34:31 It wasn't gonna be enough. Shiv, the last warrior alive of 40% worse, and he will be able to go to that respawn beacon in Stormcatcher to get at least that teammate up again. But looking at where the circle is gonna be pulling, it is gonna be by those rocks north of 202 that have secured the bunker low ground side of north pad. Great spot for 202 to be holding, especially with that composition that you noted, you know, and so many other teams still taking the time to rotate on the outskirts.

02:34:59 Ja, wie es ist, ich weiß, dass es vielleicht ein bisschen mehr in den Trenches ist, eher in den Trenches. Aber ich glaube, wir müssen uns warten und sehen, wie das endet endet. Okay, über hier Element 6 ist, dass sie sich auf den Job endet. Mit Stormcatcher ist der Site der Rez hier. Für Zarifah. 40% Worse, sie sind gerade auf dem Moment.

02:35:28 Just the two of them. That's what Will Smith would say. Making their way downtown. Just casually be able to get the survey beacon. There you go. There's that scan that they wanted. E6 was chasing down Shiv. They knew the closest Moby was right there. And now they get the scan to see where everybody else is hanging out right now. And as they make their rotate here while seeing that one solo go through lightning rod.

02:35:55 They're gonna be able to secure the edge of the east side of the circle where Aurora and two rats, one controller, have actually been fighting.

02:36:03 Yeah, they're hitting an AVAC to try and pull up into Cascade Falls right now, actually. Um, so we take a look at some of these teams in Wall. And, uh, I mean, Element 6, though, that, ah, the funny thing is they're not running a control character, right? With Bang, Bloodhound, and Horizon, uh, they're heading into Cascade Falls, but they don't actually, um, they won't be able to take advantage of, uh, the Ring Console down there, sadly.

02:36:31 Ich habe noch mehr Informationen hier. Ich habe noch einen Schatz mit dem Team, die sie neben dem. 07, die nicht in dieser Position sind seit dem Moment, dass sie in, auf das Gebäude sind. Sie sind geimpft von Forge, in der Armoury. Look what's happening behind Forge, though.

Teamkämpfe, Strategien und Wendepunkte in den späteren Spielphasen

02:36:48

02:36:48 Tora 1C, Uchaku falling incredibly low as they hold that choke that leads out of Cascade Falls, the same choke that we mentioned that could end up being a bloodbath for the teams that take too long to rotate. Aurora hanging out by a replicator but have been putting in the damage while the fight has not stopped over by wall between Mind and Maiden Heaven coming in.

02:37:09 These teams probably only one of it is going to make through the wall itself Catalyst pick here, not something we've seen too much of since Season 20 came online a little bit, but certainly falling in favor of some of the other controller characters like Catalyst, sorry, like Watson and Caustic. Red Dragon fighting for their literal pro league lives right now.

02:37:35 Lass hier über die Wall, hier ist der letzte Day des Pro League vor Relegation. Und sie versuchen sich auf den Map als sie hatten auf Worlds. Sie sind zurückgegangen in Zeit. Creepin Baraj kommt in. Und die Fokus hat komplett verändert in der Mitte der Kampf. Minds look at Maiden Heaven für die Bunker, um den Bunker zu bewegen. While Minds still tryst zu re-stabilisieren in der Bunker.

02:38:00 Aurora, however, on the outskirts here. I think they might have been the ones to pick up a kill on Element 6, who are now very much like 40% worse were before.

02:38:14 Rune away with their tail tucked between their legs. I mean, one of the interesting things we just saw in that last fight there, Vicky, was the perk choice from the Lifeline over at Wall. They actually went for Rapid Response and Last Stand, the Self-Revive pick. And this was something I was theorizing throughout the week and talking to some people about, was you can wait.

02:38:40 To pick your perk upgrades, right? You know, obviously I think when you're starting out, you know, the sort of natural thing to do is just to immediately be, okay, which one am I going for? And you pick it straight away. But you don't have to. You can wait until you decide, hey, okay, we've got a safe spot to drop a care package. All right, let's go for Gifwrapped. Or we're getting in a risky fight here. I'm going to just go for the self-revive because that might be the difference between us staying alive or not.

02:39:07 Und das ist eine wirklich gute Idee. Oh, all right. Wir sind einfach zu sehen. Wir sind einfach zu sehen. Aber ich bin glücklich, dass du das alles situational hast, wenn du auf deine Perks hast, auch. Und wenn du aktivierst es an der richtige Zeit, du kannst du dein Leben. Die Cybercats, die nicht mehr sind. Die sind die Griefing auf der Highground mit der 30-30 und mit der Gibby, die von Sonja gespielt hat.

02:39:32 Nice, so even more changes across the board here. The support legends getting some love in Apex Season 20. I love to see it. Big boys are making their return, Genome. 40% words finally get called out. They get eliminated. Mine meets them right back in the lobby. 16 squads left as the circle closes in right behind Go Next here. And we get to see where that next circle is going to be pulling.

02:39:59 Kloster to the rocks and the water. Aurora involved in a fight inside this building. Harddecki falls low. They lose out on Oirein. And Nine Infulse sliding right in front of Outplayed. Send them right back. And there goes that res here from Harddecki. Managing to survive and getting that quick res with the gold knockdown shield.

02:40:17 Very, very good. As you can see, you know, just freeing up time, increasing the pace of the team. They're able to loot while the teammate is getting rezzed. All of those seconds, you know, helping Aurora to re-stabilize here. And, you know, it's been a tough day for them so far. All right, TSM Phoenix, speaking of tough days, are also struggling. Sabs on the Catalyst.

02:40:43 Be careful, Popping the shield back here, while Fraz, with this Mastiff, doesn't have a shotgun bolt to help him out. They do get that knock, and they get the finisher. Remember, neighboring right next to them is Aurora, who could easily just get involved with this if they just want to prioritize their rotation instead. E6 actually wanted to do something very similar. Okay, Swinny having to back away. Looks like Slab is moving back and forth, not knowing whether to cross the distance or to go right back into the house, into TSM Phoenix's open arms.

02:41:14 You see the exhibit fade away. Ability that we were oh-so-familiar with last year, but in Euphorv, ALGS has fallen by the wayside. As you said, the zone very much shifting out towards the rocks, where there's currently just a solo from Made in Heaven, I believe. So, yeah, just Synectic.

02:41:39 Und ich glaube, wir werden sehen, dass er das Spot auswählen wird, denn ich kann nicht sagen, dass er das lange hält. Probierst ein Team wie Amit, oder vielleicht sogar 07. Und natürlich, wie Sie sehen, hier in Pit's Spot hat angefangen zu sehen, um, als dieses Spiel und Series ist aufgewachsen. Drone Wars. Managing to Navigate all-round, like in Barrage, und Activate the E&P da. Er ist Attempted with 2R1C. Sie haben die Leid in der overallen Team so far in dieser Lobby.

02:42:09 And now getting into that final circle positioning while the fight goes on here in the bunker. Aurora fighting all the teams that are trying to run for their lives outside the circle. That is just 3 KP welcoming them on the other side with 8 squads left. Man, and I was, you know, in the first half of this day, you know, I told you how excited I was to see Aurora playing. And then I felt like I just got, I got none of it, right? They were just getting gatekept in the zone by 40% worse and just having...

02:42:36 Um, yeah, really not a great time, but, uh, maybe this is it. Maybe this is the game where I get to see what these guys are made of. Just have to keep you waiting, Genome, especially after their performance in the region so far, but took a little bit of time to ramp up here from World's Edge to Stormpoint. Disruptor rounds in Oirain's hand here for the Alternator. Taking a nice little split position here on the other side of the rock, so 2R1C.

02:43:03 Could potentially get pinched if they're not careful looking on the other side. Yeah, they're playing a really risky spot in the middle of the zone here. They might be able to make it work, but gosh, yeah, if they don't take too much fire from the backside of 07, they could be okay. I'm just made in heaven. Synetic is still by himself out there at the moment. I don't know if he's just putting up, oh, as we're watching Aurora try and struggle for a shield swap there and not quite make it.

02:43:31 Okay, now he's finally getting pushed by Omid, so that might be it. Oh!

02:43:38 2.0. 2.0. 2.0. 2.0.

02:44:03 Oh my god, we're actually getting the Care Package as cover. Like, every lifeline in Rank's favorite situation here will be like, oh yeah, I can, you know, we've got nothing, we can play the Care Package. But with Force Quartz left in, they're really pushing for it here. The Forge going in on 07. And I think they might come out on top. Oh, and collapsing 202. Ratshaw controller 07 get eliminated. Forge now, only Phoenix being alive.

02:44:30 Behind the sliver of the Lifeline Cure Package, Hardecki now shifting their focus over to Omid. While Forge try to clear some more open ground, Aurora are busy on the other side. Okay, Aurora trying to clear them out, but they're not keeping their... They're keeping one eye on Omid as we get down into the final 3v3 here. Omid, they took that position away from Made in Heaven with...

02:44:54 85% representation of Bloodhound in this lobby. They were going to get that scan and that information at some point. Can they convert it to a game win, though, is the question we're now left with.

02:45:05 Und die Differenz in Kampf hier ist die Catalyst vs. die Lifeline von Harddeck. Aber Night Impulse und Oi-Ring haben eine Hecke gemacht. Ich meine, look at Night Impulse, 6 Kp. Ich glaube, Oi-Ring ist gerade da, mit dem Platz. Sie haben den Krack, aber jetzt Closen in den Gap zu isolieren, Blast, auf der anderen Seite der Rock. Sie versuchen, sich hier zu verlassen, aber nicht zu übercommiten. Sie bekommen noch einen Knock in den Prozess, vorhin zu sehen, wenn sie die Follow-Up hier bekommen, um die Knock auf zu Blast.

Aurora sichert sich den Sieg in Spiel 5 und katapultiert sich an die Spitze

02:45:31

02:45:31 Das bedeutet, dass ihr Katilis ist, dass ihr die Temperatured Schild für diese finalen Kampf bekommen hat. Sie verlieren an Oi-Raid, und Harddecky kann nicht die Rez! Oh, das hat komplett gewandt gewandt. Das Bang-Ult hat ihn aus, und dann Aurora war es einfach nur um, in Circles zu schießen. Aber endlich! Oh, wie so viele dieser Top-Teams hier in der ALG-S, ihr könnt sie nicht unterhalten.

02:45:56 für eine ganze Serie. In einem Moment werden sie wieder zurückkehren, werden sie wieder zurückkehren. Und das war sie mit dem Ring-Around-The-Rosie, nicht nur mit dem Rocken, aber die Möglichkeit zu gewinnen und isolieren einen Mitglied von Emit. Und Ero fragt aus das ganze Spiel. Ich habe über das ganze Spiel gesprochen, aber mit dem 3-KP, das war ein 18-KP-Games und der DUB, nachdem sie ziemlich quiet in der Zeit.

02:46:25 Ja, es war eine massive, you know, jump to their, to their chances in this series. Not that they really need it. As we said, they're kind of locked in already, but almost just for their pride, Vicky, because, you know, you go back and you think about Aurora's performances so far in this season, they literally haven't got worse.

02:46:46 than a second place, I think it is. Yeah, yeah, second is literally their worst series result so far. So with that win, they're going to push themselves closer to keeping that record going.

02:46:58 Das ist verrückt, dass die Konsistenz, die verschiedene Spiele, die verschiedene Spiele kommen, die verschiedene Spiele kommen, die verschiedene Spiele kommen, oder sogar die Map-Swap starten auf World's Edge versus Stormpoint, wie wir früher in Split 1 hatten. Und das ist in die gleiche Lobby, die Awuera hat auch sehr ausgedrückt, wie Forge hat in 2nd place, so sie sind in 2nd place, sogar in 2nd place, sogar in 2nd place, sogar in 2nd place, sogar in 2nd place, sogar in 2nd place.

02:47:24 Yeah, definitely Aurora now looking fantastic. So they've got one more. Can they get up a little bit further and maybe have a chance at clinching or getting closer? I'm sure when we get to the scoreboard, that'll give us a better inkling of sort of what that's looking like. But yeah, look, I'm definitely just glad we got to see how they look when they're in full fighting form.

02:47:46 And that's with them making the rotate from Cenote Cave 2. From the south side all the way, at least traveling from the northwestern side of Storm Point. So a pretty nice rotation for them. But I'm looking at a lot of the teams that were able to get the KP that they needed from the southern choke of where that final circle pulled from. Like Checkpoint, exiting out of Cascade Falls. Let's take a look at the match results after that game number 5. Because I know a lot of teams were able to get a good amount of KP from our first top 10 teams. And TSM Phoenix definitely needed a game.

02:48:16 wo sie in den Top 10 getrennt, um K.P. zu. Looking at Maid in Heaven, ich weiß nicht, wie sie es tut, aber sie haben es wieder gemacht. Und das war mit der Solo-Player für den Godspot, bevor Omit fully senden es auf sie. Sie enden in 2nd place mit 10 K.P., und es ist das 18-Kill-Games, die Aurora hat sich für sie selbst gespielt.

02:48:35 What an absolute nuke they have just dropped on this lobby. A lot of teams struggle to get 30 points in a series at this high level of play in the ALGS, but Aurora aren't like the rest of them. 30 points, 18 kills is gonna do so much for this, for this series.

02:48:57 Ich will wissen, wie das auf die Überlegung des Ständigen wird, heute als wir sehen uns auf Nummer 2 sehen. Nach dem Resultat von Game 5 ist der Funtz nicht wirklich die Show-Up-Day, die wir uns zu sehen haben. Cybercats in der 12-Plays-Spot mit 1 Kp. Nicht viel Kp zu beendet hier, sogar Patchen, die in 3rd-Party zu beendet. Fallen in der 14-Plays-Spot mit 2 Kp.

02:49:19 Ja, nicht viel zu sehen da auf der BOTTOM HALF, voll englisch. Sie wissen, dass das Konzest auf der Zoo Station nicht helfen kann. Und oh mein, ich habe nur noch einen Punkt gemacht. Sie waren 25 Punkte nach Game 2, Vicky, und natürlich, das war von der ersten Win. Sie haben gar nicht mehr gesehen. Sie haben einen Punkt in die letzten vier Punkte, oder so.

02:49:47 A rough state of affairs for our English lads.

02:49:52 Das ist das Gegenteil von was wir wollen. Ich meine, es ist schwierig. Ich glaube, die Beans und Toasts in der Morgen sind nicht wirklich gut für unsere Englisch-Squad. Und dann schauen wir uns alle auf, doch. Wir sehen uns Aurora, die sich in der 2nd-Place-Spot aufbauen. Es ist noch ziemlich tief hier für unsere Top 5. Ich meine, wir sehen uns auf die Top 7 mit RedDragon mit 37. Und dann mit 07 und PassionU8 mit 38.

02:50:18 Yeah, I mean, the fact that's catapulted them into second place is phenomenal. I mean, as we said, you know, that's our second or higher is kind of their natural state in EMEA, and that's where they're sitting at at the moment.

02:50:32 And they could easily secure that first place spot too to keep the tradition alive, Gina. We're gonna have to see if that plays out in the way that Aurora wants after this break. Don't go anywhere, guys. We got our final game on Swordpoint. Our final game for Matchday 8 here in EMEA. Don't go anywhere. This is gonna be a lot of action.

Analyse der Teamleistungen und Vorbereitung auf das Regionalfinale

02:52:23

02:52:23 Welcome back, everyone. With all the action we've been able to witness here for our groups in EMEA, it's been one heck of a day so far, and time is of the essence. That is the theme for today, because some of these teams, this is their last match day before the Regional Final Genome, and they're performing, especially the teams, on the second half of the overall standings.

02:52:43 No doubt about that at all. You can see a good spread of wins here. I think the fifth one though is certainly something that's speaking of a direction that this series is going in, this matchup with groups A and C playing, going in as Aurora ramped up throughout the day. They are now three points off the pace, sitting with 54 points behind first place, 57.

02:53:11 und sehr gut haben eine Chance, um zu gewinnen, oder zu gewinnen, dieses Spiel zu gewinnen, um, nur zu haben, in der 1st oder 2nd Platz auf einem Matchday. Das ist eine der besten Performance, die wir sicherlich gesehen haben, in einer unserer Online-Saison. Das sind die Bragg- und Wreitze da. Ich hoffe, dass das Team in LAN ist. Sie sind ein Terror.

02:53:36 Ich glaube, das letzte Spiel, die 18 Kills hatten, waren sie in 10th. Jetzt sind sie von 10th bis 2nd, und sie sind in der Zeit, um das Domination zu halten, um das letzte Spiel des Jahres hier auf Storepoint.

02:53:52 Es wird eine große Rolle für sie. Ich war sogar noch ein paar Stats. Ich habe mir gedacht, ich weiß, dass es Aurora eher ein Stormpoint Team ist. Vielleicht wird es einfach hier sein. Das ist nicht wirklich der Fall, eigentlich. Aurora sind sehr konsistent auf beiden Maps, wenn man sich die Season als ein. Sie sind, ehrlich gesagt, Head & Shoulders über die Rest jetzt.

02:54:17 Averaging more than 11 points a game across both maps. They're slightly better on Storm Point, closer to 12 there. And we usually say like above 9, above 10. That's like elite team status. Getting 11 points a game across an entire split is really a feat. I can't impress upon you guys that much how good this is.

02:54:44 Yeah, it fares off against the other consistent teams in general. But while we wait for our teams to load into the lobby, I want to bring in Dia. And to bounce off of that idea that you were talking about, Genome, talking about the average points that some of these teams that are consistent have been able to bring in. Dia, have you noticed anything different when it comes to some of these compositions, or at least the playstyle that we see with a lot of these teams that do find that success consistently? It's still so early in the season that it is difficult to say what compositions are.

02:55:14 Leading into more points, because we're seeing a lot of the same Bloodhound, and then everything else seems to change quite a bit. So say something like Lifeline is actually really varied, especially because those teams tend to fight more. But I am really enjoying the resurgence of Crypto. I think that's been a really fascinating pick, and not just for teams that previously would want to play Zone, which is where we'd see a lot of Crypto. Now we're seeing it as an...

02:55:39 Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr guter Weg, wo Teams mit Krypto haben zu spielen, dass sie nicht mehr aggressiv sind, einfach nur weil der Empfehlung der Empfehlung der Empfehlung gibt, mit den Buffs, dass er sicherlich durch die Perks hat. So mein Read ist sehr viel dependent auf was Compositions end up solidifying themselves, aber bestimmte Picks sind definitiv auf neue Identitäten, die eine sehr interessante Art und Weise zu erreichen.

02:56:08 Especially with the perk system, too. I want to take a look back at the series standings. Again, we'll get you guys so much of the patience. We're waiting for this level to load in right now, but taking a look at the series standings, D, I want to get your thoughts. I mean, any team specifically from the lobbies that we're watching between Groups A and C that you predict are going to have a pop-off final game that they may really need? I mean, I'm even looking at teams like E6 that usually do really well, but haven't really been able to perform after the update with Season 20.

02:56:33 E6 ist sicherlich ein Team, ich bin sehr interessiert, weil, wie du sagst, sie haben einen historischen Erfolg. Ich würde sogar noch ein bisschen weiter nach dem Leaderboarden schauen, und sagen, LCDF sind unterverfolgt heute, based auf was wir gesehen haben von ihnen vorhin. Ich denke, LCDF ist eigentlich in ein fantastisches Spot als Team. Sie wirklich verstehen ihre Macro, sie spielen Fights sehr gut, und sie sind ein sehr unterwertes Team von vielen Leuten. Aber heute ist die Performance...

02:57:02 Ich glaube, es gibt einen Team, dass ich eine Pop-Op-Game habe. Es muss sein, wenn ich nur auf dem, ich glaube, ich glaube, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen, ich habe gesehen

02:57:19 Das ist, dass sie in Season 20 sind. Aber ich fühle mich, dass sie die einzige Team, die sicherlich kommen in Season 20 und sagen, oh ja, wir spielen all diese neuen Heroes, uh, wir spielen all diese neuen Legends, um, surely, uh, sie werden diejenigen, die zu machen, weil sie die Leute spielen Lifeline last Jahr.

02:57:40 ...wenn sie war almost unpickable, richtig? Diese sind diejenigen, die Spaß mit Legend Compositions hatten, aber... ...sumhow, ja, Season 20 hat sich ein bisschen stahl für sie.

02:57:51 Ja, es ist, you know...

02:58:17 They've made a couple of N-Circles, but yeah, I haven't really been able to convert as well as perhaps they would have. I remember, I was actually, you know, in that game I was casting with Dia just before, we had a little bit of a listen-in with them, and I was asking like, yeah, you know, like, how do you think these guys are going this season? He was saying, relax their rotations, and I think that's something that, especially teams with coaches, have been doing better than everyone else, and been improving faster than everybody else, because it has changed.

02:58:46 wie Teams so much rotate mit Season 20. Das ist eine große Veränderung für wie High-Level Competitive Apex funktioniert. 202, du kannst es sehen, die Watson und die Seere wiederholen. Aber ja, LCDF, um, mit dem, uh, Controller-Less, uh, Composition da, so in Controller, so in, you know, they can't scan the Ring console, uh, ist, ist sehr interessant.

02:59:14 And sticking to the horizon, too, honestly, was the one thing that I noted from Mr. Fonz, a team that usually wouldn't have issues with experimenting beyond what we've seen very commonly in the past few seasons of ALGS. Starting off the rip, though, we know that there's a 50-50 that's been going down consistently for the last two other games on StorePoint. I expect it to happen again here over by the north side of the map as we see all of our other teams get situated in their POI right now. Red Dragon, who had split away from that 50-50 potential.

02:59:43 Ja, ja, ja, ja

03:00:14 Ich habe einen Henshot Angle. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht. Ich habe einen Hecht.

Entscheidungen und Strategien im finalen Spiel auf Stormpoint

03:00:38

03:00:38 They lose the 50-53 times in a row on Stormpoint. And you can see Omit shooting at their death boxes, feeling confident. And we get to see where their circle is going to be pulling as we say goodbye to full English, you know. Oh, once again, full English. I mean, gosh, did they convert the one game they did have a good chance on. But if you don't win your contests here, you don't get to play the game.

03:01:07 That's such a sad way to finish out the series for a team who had one incredible performance and it's not really going to convert into series, into split points, into the overall standings because they're just going to fall further and further down, maybe even into the bottom 10 now.

03:01:26 We saw them at least put up some points on World's Edge, but it needed to come out even more from the bottom half of the day here. But now focusing and shifting our way over to where the circle is going to be pulling. At least we got a southern circle this time around. No double north circle here. Instead, this may be pulling towards that choke on the outskirts of Devastated Coast, which goes back to that conversation where Red Dragon now lands. This actually may benefit them with their specific POI currently as Cybercats. You can see them in the distance calling in the Evac Tower to then act.

03:01:55 Hmm, ja, Devastated Coast, Echo HQ, Pylon, definitely a couple of options where this circle could end up.

03:02:10 Passion will be very happy if it pulls towards them at Echo. Meanwhile, Aurora is gonna have a very easy rotate as the Prowlers go down here over at Cenote Caves. Obviously, with access to that Trident, you can just zoom around the south side of the map and find a spot very quickly.

03:02:29 ... ... ... ... ...

03:02:50 On top of the rotation points that they have with the Valkyrie. And I don't think he's got enough shield cells either here, honestly. 15? I don't know about that.

03:02:59 You're right, it's a lot of info, isn't it? Because if you get the ring console, you get to see, obviously, you know, where the zone's going, but also what the playable spots are. And, you know, they're already pretty close to it anyway. So they're going to go for the buildings on the east side of Pylon. Fantastic spot here. You know, of all those places we called out that it could be Vicky, that is a building that gives you access to all of them.

03:03:25 Und das 50-50 Potenzial-Rotate Chance da, aber sie haben die Skyward-Dive. Sie sind bereits in den Skies zu sehen, wo die Valkyrie Passive kann sein. Die anderen Team sind in der Nähe. Sie wollen die Brücke über die Brücke, hier bei Devastated Coast, wo es bereits drei andere Teams gibt, vier eigentlich, mit E6, Cybercats, Reddragons und 202. Sie spielen bereits auf der anderen Seite des Devastated Coast, mit wenig zu noe Cover, wenn man in der Open spielt.

03:03:52 I mean, just because of, I don't know what's going on here, but yeah, we've just seen a lot of circles, you know, even in scrims and stuff around Echo HQ. So this one isn't pulling quite south enough, I think, though, to be one of those where you get the play around the zip lines and whatnot at Echo. So instead, we will just have to wait for that third ring to give us an indication. TSM Phoenix sitting further down towards Coastal Camp.

03:04:21 Und wie Sabs, sie haben die Möglichkeit, um, die nächste Ring-Console zu haben, um die Zone zu gehen, um sie wirklich zu wollen. Aber dann wird sie wahrscheinlich auch die Position auf der Heel hier auf der Cannon gewonnen haben, das ist ein bisschen ein trade-off. Und die einzige zweite Team, bei der Wehre, zu bewerben, die Catalyst, die kommen in Clutch für die N-Circle, wenn man es da und die Wallen gibt. Die einzige Team, die Catalyst ist Mined, mit Dolgorin. So TSM-Phoenix.

03:04:49 Sie sehen, dass die Team in fronte sind. Sie sehen, ob sie sich einfach von hinterlassen können. Sie können durch Pylon, wenn kein Team mehr da ist. Und da ist ein Beacon, ein Double Beacon, zwischen Ring und Survey. So sie können mehr Informationen und Evo Charge bekommen, wenn sie Zeit wollen.

03:05:07 As you kind of mentioned before, you know, there's a couple of teams here who've had their POIs spawned with the double beacons. And obviously that helps you a lot. 200 EVO charge towards your next armor evolution is a big deal. A lot of teams over here in Devastated Coast. Doesn't look like the zone's going to be pulling this way, but we will get that further indication in just a few seconds.

03:05:33 Aber sicherlich ein paar Teams zu sehen. Ich glaube, 07 hat sich wohl schon gewonnen. Okay, es ist sehr gut für EchoHQ. Aber ich fühle mich, dass sie nicht so gut sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie nicht so gut sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie nicht so gut sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie nicht so gut sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie nicht so gut sind.

03:05:50 um sort of find the spots early but i feel like i keep looking at them expecting um you know an igl like nasky who's known for those calls uh to be uh you know in a good spot all the time but they they seem to be having to fight their way in more often happening again what the heck is going on over here vex find the opportunity they miss out on the ark start toss though imagine the trident would have just gone

03:06:16 But they managed to get away, avoid the Arcstar, but they were low. And they did have the Evil Shield advantage originally. So the team on the Trident that got away had full purples. But Vex, call it, they move away around Command Center. That was Lucita Font that had managed to go to the Evil Harvester. You're going to definitely see that more often with Evil Harvesters being a thing. Now in Season 20, some teams love to rat and camp out those Harvesters. None of these other teams can get it.

03:06:44 Und es ist eigentlich ein win-win da, Vicky, weil wenn sie da neben den Spiders sitzen, ich denke sie waren, ist es nicht egal, ob die anderen Team enden Spiders enden. Ich bin sicher, dass ihr die Evo Points für die Wild-Life-Cleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared-Kleared

03:07:10 Das stimmt. Ein bisschen damage. Andy Jax gets beamed by the 30-30s. Another Trident right below their feet, but they're playing on the bottom end of the staircase. Jax is trying to look over to the other side. They have to stick this. I mean, look at this. They're going down the stairs. They're not really at risk at all. They've got the bloodhound there to give them that infection. Oh, wait. They didn't get the risk. Okay, my bad. Sorry, I didn't see that happen.

03:07:35 Ja, okay, so this is kind of what I was talking about in terms of, you know, this is a circle that we've seen a lot in scrims certainly play out where teams, they honestly know this pretty well, how to play the stairs, how to play the ziplines. This one doesn't have quite as much of the backside in.

03:08:03 um so you don't have to worry about teams around the site as much but then there's gonna be a lot of these teams from devastated coast that are gonna have sightlines on you if you get pushed out of here at all

03:08:14 Ja, ich meine, Sie sehen, wie methodisch sie sie spielen, um, wie du gesagt hast, um, waiting für die Bloodhound zu bekommen, um, mit der Goldnacht zu bekommen, um, mit der Goldnacht zu machen, um,

03:08:43 Finally, uh, they're able to clear underneath them, but as you can see, uh, it's not over for them just yet. Still plenty of shots ringing through from the eastern seaboard there. Mines, um, they'll just cut in into this house, which will be in Zone 4. Um, so they can actually stick here for a little while if they want to. As you can see, mine are very much struggling, uh.

03:09:09 In the series thus far. Yeah, yeah. They got the double donut. They got no kills, no points. Maybe this game they could change things up at least a little bit. Get a crumb here if they can. Sita France now having to look at the team to the left and then focus on the team right in front of them. Sends out the black hole. Fubinbrush coming in as well from the Bangalore ult. It's 40% worse. Forced to back away. And he's still on that Pathfinder. He's going to be able to get right back to the height. And he's got the Bocek in hand here on the catwalk.

03:09:42 Always feels like there's some sort of precarious situation that 40% worse are in and also usually a sniper rifle in the hands of Mandy I mean this one sure it's a marksman, but Bocek kind of hits like a sniper rifle honestly Bocek really comes in especially if you find that heady oh that's unfortunate let's get a body shot though

03:10:11 70 here on the other side. I love how he's crouching. Crouching, trying to hold a little head glitch off the lip of the wall. Tries to take a split angle, but also notices that he is pitched between two teams that have him in his line of sight. Luckily, though, that grapple comes in to help him out, get out of trouble. Xerifur wants to capitalize off of the damage that was done off the bow check. They need to get some more of his KP. Gets the crack, but can't get the knock with the Havoc.

03:10:37 You can see LCDF in all sorts of trouble. Dia, not gonna be happy about that one. Amit, as you see just on the northern side, they're looking on, wondering if they should get involved in this fight. They've got 14 seconds to decide that before the ring is going to force them out, and they either need to fight, or they need to move. Amalek shots are hidden.

03:11:05 So he's with a scan with a position behind that lip. Okay, it's the E-Vac here. And they have to get out with the circle closing in right behind them, right, you know? Yeah, that's that choice I was talking about. And they do it even a little bit late. You can see them taking some ring damage here. 40% worse, they're gliding in together. Both have taken the E-Vaxes. Aurora drew the same from their spot.

03:11:34 Oh wow, everyone just, uh, yeah, it's almost like we're back to Valk days here. There were so many evacs popped out once there to try and make it into Echo HQ.

03:11:43 Und sie hatten Oirein Puff, Beasts of the Hunt, bevor sie die Evac genommen haben, oder zumindest in der Mitte der Evac genommen. Weil mit dem Beasts of the Hunt, ihr könnt sehen, ob jemand unten ist, weil sie keine Valkyrie haben. Mit dem Passiv, die sie wissen, wer sie bereits befinden, wo sie wollen. Das ist mehr Informationen, wenn ihr alle in der Reden Seite sehen könnt. Und wenn das Gebäude ist, wie es das Gebäude ist, als Aurora spielt, ist das Gebäude für's. Aber es gibt so viele Teams von Echo HQ, von Anfang an. Vex jetzt für ihre Leben. Beasts of the Hunt aktiviert für Babylons.

03:12:13 18 Squad still left, Bocek in Falko's Hand. EMP coming in. Vex now having to resableise here as long as they don't get pushed, but the nades are coming out, having to avoid the Arktar. He's called out of position. Vex can't get away. He can't get it to cover. It's really only Clemmy that can give that Suppress Fire. Alright, what's he got left in the tank? Still hitting Flesh on the other team here, but the Crossfire comes in.

03:12:41 And we'll eliminate him. And that leaves all of this side of the map here for 2R1C. Hopefully there's an evac tower in one of those death boxes, Vicky. Or they had one on hand already. Because that is the only way they're getting into the next ring. We're going to have to see later on for 2Rats1Controller. More of these teams playing underneath that bridge before this circle closes in. In less than a minute now. Less than 40 seconds. Aurora still playing underneath this stairwell.

03:13:08 OP haben wir nicht von der Seite von Echo HQ, denn Forge hat sich in der Mitte von Echo HQ zu Beginn, mit vollen Blue Evos.

03:13:21 And that's fine for the moment. As you can see, they're actually pretty close here. I mean, there were 300 ammo there for the 30-30. Slayers surely will be hitting that in just a few shots. The map here giving us very good vision of where the circle's going to end just to the northeast of Echo HQ, the building itself.

03:13:45 Und es ist ein Tricky. Es ist ein Tricky. Es ist ein Tricky.

03:13:52 With nothing but a Bolt in hand, with no attachments, you take the evac, and you Hail Mary to land on top of wherever you can go at this point, because you're getting shot from every angle. Nice little overhead to at least get on top of Pride Rock, but it's the team that's playing underneath, closer to the Trident. They get another knock. They see another player knock right below their feet, but they have to look to their backs. 30-30 shots ringing out. They get the knock in the feed. Gets another crack on top of that. No Little Rock could provide that cover with the Circle closing in right now, and they, even though E6 is not in that

03:14:21 Sie tun, und sie müssen es nutzen, weil es ein paar Sekunden gibt, bevor sie auf die Rock gemacht werden. Und haben sie getan genug, haben sie genug Druck auf die anderen Teams, um, um, um, zu machen diese Position safe? Für jetzt.

03:14:43 Fighting for their lives with their back against the wall. Bambino popping the smoke here. All I hear are 30-30s like fireworks in the air. Two rats, one controller. Check who's got the Kraber. He knows that there's a team right above him, but nobody dares to peek their forehead out.

03:15:07 Brief moment of rest for these teams. 2R1C, one of the only teams on the move in this lobby right now. ANSI outplayed. That position on the stairs is going to be good for quite some time. That fight that they won over there, turning out to be incredibly important.

03:15:29 Aurora's got the warts when it comes to getting out of the line of sight of so many teams. They don't only have the rock and the palm tree, but they got the trident, they got a Moby right next to them, and the lifeline cure package, it seems. So they are covered in the middle of this circle. Man, they build them. Got nine bullets, sir. I guess arrows in the bow check.

03:15:58 Oh Gott! Oh Gott! Oh Gott!

03:16:18 Oh, bang, ult to try and cover his back. He pulls up on an unsuspecting Oxarco, but he turns around and finishes him off. Circle closes. 20 seconds now. GoNex going up against TSM Phoenix as Aurora try and hold their spot, but you can see they are shell-shocked at the moment. There's always crazy, but Aurora with these nades, they want to finish in first seconds, not enough for them. They want to beat the record out here.

03:16:48 Yeah, I think they're okay, though. I mean, even... The more I see this, the more I'm like, damn, man, the lifeline res is genuinely quite helpful in these end circles where...

03:17:16 Time is of the essence, and every second you delay. Often you're taking angles, trying to work out, oh, can we afford to res here? You don't have to think about that as lifeline. You just pop it, and you go immediately. You get the shields off, you pop your medkit off, whatever you need to get that reset, and then start covering for your teammate who's already up and about.

03:17:41 Once you have met it up yourself, so there's just a lot of value in it frankly Well, we take a look at Ford still rocking full blue evils. I'm gonna jump into a listen in with four Shakira They play out this next rotation while they're stuck in that corner

03:18:04 Das war so bad, bro. Und das ist das Risiko, wenn du in einer Körner bist, wenn du in einer Körner bist, wenn du in einer Körner bist, wenn du in einer Körner bist. Aber die Smoknades in jeder Körner sind. Passt und U.A. sind in Trouble. Lose auf Max Strafi, mit dem Wingman in Hand. Ich habe die Highground hier. L-Star von Sonya, aber nicht nach hinten. Und Passt und U.A. geteilt. Und Passt und U.A. geteilt. Mit der Game of Their Life skier still haben die Highground.

03:18:33 Two rats, one controller, though. They're fighting Aurora right now for the bottom side of this. It's most likely a fight for second place. As you can see, 2R1C down to just the one last member ANC. Our plane should easily be out to close this out. The EMP is not enough.

ANC Outplayed sichert sich den Sieg, Aurora belegt den zweiten Platz

03:18:52

03:18:52 Und sehr unterschiedlich zu unseren anderen Circles und auch POIs, wo wir die Endgames spielen sehen, Vicky. Die Stairs sehen nicht wie die typische Power Positionen in Apex Legends, aber wie Sie sehen, wir bekommen eine 3rd-Place und 1st-Place von Aurora und ANC-Outplay, von Teams, die die Stair-Positions spielen.

03:19:17 And that's with Outplayed leaving their P.O.Y. by Down Beast and immediately trying to go towards the outskirts of Echo HQ from the very beginning like we saw. They had wrapped around even from Devastated Close flying into that stairwell. And with that team comp too, you look at the cost, you look at the way that they were able to play around that stairwell the entire time because they had to fight over like three other teams that wanted to fight for that same similar rotation from that position.

03:19:41 And the Caustic really helps out in situations like that. And then having the Bloodhound, having the Gold Knock, allows you to reset even better to take on the next fight that may try to push in for a third party. Yeah, Caustic, yeah, super important for those positions. Definitely one of the reasons why we're seeing him be picked up so often now in Season 20. But yeah, Bloodhound, I think, was the most picked.

03:20:05 Legend we saw today, which is interesting because in some of the other regions it has definitely been Bang being the most prevalent.

03:20:14 Let's take a look at the match results after performance right there, because Andy had popped off at the very end on that Kossig, outplayed, finished off the day with the dub and 9 KP, but tying that KP with two rats, one controller that had to fight their way in that final circle, fight their way against Aurora, who also were flying everybody in the lobby, holding the middle part of that circle, covering each, every corner, whether it be from the Mobi, the Lifeline care package, Lifeline pick definitely being that

03:20:44 das wir sehen mehr oft in dieser Region? Es ist mehr und mehr legit in meinen Augen. Wenn es auf der Start kommt, die Leute sagen, es ist nur ein Meme. Die Leute wollen die Power-Package-Wepons. Vielleicht bekommen die Evo-Cache-Drop mit dem Giftwrap-Perk, aber es ist ja, ich bin wirklich zu glauben.

03:21:12 Wir sehen uns auf der zweiten Seite hier. Mäden in Heaven. Ich meine, da haben sie auch 4 Kp geliebten. Sie hatten ein bisschen ein Daycare, aber leider nicht die Placement, die sie brauchen. Cybercats folgen in 12 mit 0 Kp. Meine nicht mit einem Double Bagel, aber sie haben...

03:21:29 Three points on board for that final day, all right? So not finishing with a big O. Even looking all the way down, though, to full English that were not able to win that 50-50 on Stormpoint starting off in Game 4. Yeah, you've also got 40% worse there. I believe this was their last matchday unless they make it into the Regional Finals, which I don't think is possible for them.

03:21:55 So das könnte das letzte Outing sehen, um, von Zarephah, Mandi und Shiv für jetzt.

03:22:04 You know, guys, it's going to be a tough one to say that, really, and see it happen. You know, I love Shiv. I love the personality. Probably not this season, though, in terms of the Pro League. Have they figured out what they need to do? But a lot of teams are in that process of figuring things out, especially with Season 20. Some, they actually benefited. Some still trying to just work out some of those things.

03:22:26 Let's go and walk.

03:22:52 Was in a great spot.

03:23:22 Ich habe das Gefühl, dass jemand hinter uns ist, dass er das Gefühl hat, dass jemand hinter uns ist, dass er das Gefühl hat, dass jemand hinter uns ist, dass er nicht in front of uns ist. Das hat die Fokus von Fakko und Vex mehr gemacht. Und das hat mir wirklich geholfen. Aber was mir war das Fulcomit. Die C2R1C in dieser Moment sagen, dass sie diese Kills sind. Und ich bin nicht sicher, ob es Babylons oder Micey, dass sie so aggressiv sind, aber ClemmyGG...

03:23:51 Das ist einfach schwer. Und so, was sie endet auf die Fokussung auf ist, was in front of sie ist, was ich denke, dass sie in dieser Position machen müssen. Aber es ist nicht genug, um nichts zu machen, in terms of ein Wettbewerb. Das bedeutet, Maid in Heaven, walk-up. Es dauert ein bisschen länger, als ich erwähnte, für sie zu finishieren. Ich denke, es hat sogar sogar eine Bangalore-Smoke, die hilft, die damage zu bekommen. Und Maid in Heaven, able zu machen, was sie müssen, um das Wettbewerb zu machen. Aber wenn Game 4 geht, manchmal ist es einfach,

03:24:20 Und du denkst, vielleicht ist das wie das Game 5 geht. Nein, Game 5 war nichts wie das, guys. Es war ein tolles Genome, mit Aurora und Omit haben ein heckes 3v3. Ja, es war ein bisschen 3v3 zu Ende. Auf hier ist Kondor-Ult, die in der Mitte ist. Der fokuss von Aurora, ich glaube, war wichtig, in erzichter sie hat die Lanes der Play open zu ihnen. Dann sieht Night Impulse hier, stalling es aus. Er ist 99%. Immediately, pops die Rolling Thunder. Und das war die Turning Point.

03:24:49 Ja, das war wirklich ein sehr, sehr, sehr gut start. Und ich liebe diese Isolated Fights, weil es zeigt, dass es ein viel Strategie geht.

03:25:17 Not just who you're picking, but what perks you're selecting. You see some of the auto ping triggering there, but then sometimes you get into the place where it's just straight up, we're running at you. And in this type of position, Forge, Vicky, they find themselves in these end zones all the time in really nice places. They remind me a little bit of Omit, of how they really like to set themselves up for a win.

03:25:36 Yeah, they did. It's just, unfortunately, with the circle pull and then stuck in the corner, it was just open sights for everybody that was just waiting for them to funnel outside of that building. But then this is where all the real action happened during the day. This is where Outblade was able to secure that high ground after fighting so many of the other teams that were trying to neighbor each other in Echo HQ. Passion UA, Sonya dropped right in front of the Cossack, who closed out that fight. And then with the last three squads, Outblade would know the teams that contest them on the high ground had all the time to reset here.

03:26:05 Es ist interessant zu sehen, dass ANC Outplayed natürlich die Victory hier starten in Game 5 und in Game 6 mit über 20 Punkte, glaube ich. Das ist ein sehr starkes Jump für sie. Nicht genug, natürlich, zu gehen in die erste Platz. Aber ANC Outplayed hat es gut, dass sie auf ein High-Node endet. In terms of die actualen Standings, mein Gott, wir haben eine Tie-Breaker. Das ist die Unterschiede zwischen Aurora und 2RM.

03:26:34 1c i heard you guys chuckling vicky i don't think i remember seeing this exact score where two teams have the exact same points at the end of the day it's actually crazy it's been a while since i've been able to see a tiebreaker like this and it becomes a question is the fact that two rats with controller had gotten a dub game three and aurora got the dub that we saw in game four game five rather and aurora got it with 18 kp and two rats with controller got their dub game three

03:27:01 mit 11 kp so it's crazy to see how tight the upper half of the overall standings are after this match today and genome i mean it's no surprise to see aurora on top i feel like we're getting uh so used to saying that but to do it in this fashion uh it does mean that maybe there's just they've got it going

03:27:23 I mean, yeah, exactly. Dropping a 30-point nuke, obviously, that is one way to make sure you win those tiebreakers. I mean, the admin's certainly getting their work cut out for them. You can see three tiebreakers in the top 10 here, but that means that Aurora has won four out of their five matchdays so far. Unbelievable stuff from Aurora.

03:27:45 Und auch wenn man die BOTTOM 10 betrachten, dass man diese Teams versucht zu machen. Lesique DeFrance ist ein 18er Platz für mich, nach einem Squad zu haben, und wir haben gesehen, die Likes von ihnen performan. ANC Outplay, ohne das Wettbewerb, hätte man das Wettbewerb in 19. Also, wir werden sehen, wie das auf die overallen Standings in EMEA ist. Denn, als du gesagt hast, Genome, 5 Match Days played, 4 Wettbewerb von Aurora. Das ist warum sie auf die Aufmerksamkeit sind.

03:28:14 That's insane, isn't it? So that's 121 out of a possible 125 points so far from Aurora. Just incredible stats there, but obviously with other teams getting close to 90 as well, which is something we had ticked at, you know, roughly around the spot that you're safe, you're guaranteed to get into LAN and around about there. And obviously they still have either one match day left to play for some of these teams or potentially the regional finals to add to their tournament.

03:28:43 Die andere Sache, Vickie, wenn man das anschaut ist, ist es, in dieser BOTTOM-HALF zu sehen, dass wir mit guten Matchdayen sind. Omit, eine andere Team in 16. Sie waren in 21st. Und so mit der 3rd-Place-Finisch heute in der Regional-Final.

03:29:01 And they needed that, too. You look at teams like Forge, we highlighted them at the very beginning of the show, too, that really needed to have a pop-off day. But teams that didn't perform to the standards that we're used to seeing, let's see their fonts, it really comes into question what they could do differently with the limited time that they have, especially since this is the last day, match day, that some of these teams could play on before the regional finals. Such an interesting one. Any surprises here for you, Genome? Any expectations for these teams who are currently out of the regional final?

03:29:30 They really are running out of time. Yeah, I mean, Red Dragon, obviously, I've shown signs of life here moving from 28th at the start of today to 23rd. So at the very least, they're now...

03:29:43 ...quite close to removing themselves from the relegation talk. So even if they can just get to obviously spots 21, 22, you don't make regional finals, but you avoid relegation. So that's at the very least something to play for. But certainly if they can show signs of life again, they may even make it into that top 20. Well, you know, we're getting some information too because these groups obviously playing with each other, but I think that's it for Group A. So Red Dragon might...

03:30:09 Ich glaube, wir haben einen Bezug auf den Plen. Ich glaube, wir haben einen Bezug auf den Plen.

03:30:39 Und Blast, du hast du gesagt, den UK man selbst. Er ist ein Pro in Apex über vier Jahre. Du wissen, wie das ist, von Weigert zu Endeavor, mit Noises und JMW. Ich denke, die journey er hat, hat es gut. Und es handelt die journey Lufka hat auch, formerly mit Assyne. Him, Kashera, going separate ways, aber sie war Powerhouse in EMEA. So, you start putting together these teams, these players into this team, vielleicht journeymen at times.

03:31:08 really finding a rhythm at the right time. And the other thing that I love about this, not just the performance, but in terms of kills, top five, I think, on the day, assists as well, and damage just, you gotta say, from a support player, that is pretty awesome. And I say support only in the way that he was playing Conduit, not actually a support player. He supports his team. But, all right, we actually have a chance to speak to the man himself. Blast, I think we are joining him, or he is joining us, rather, on Voice Blast.

03:31:37 Can you hear us?

03:31:39 Hello, hello. Can you hear me? Yes, we can. How are you doing, man? Welcome. We're so glad to speak with you a little bit and kind of hear how things have been going. I kind of want to just open it up to you on the floor. I thought you guys played phenomenally. It's really rare that you see a team who almost wins the day but not find that actual game win. You guys just had great fundamentals. What was working so well for you today and overall in this match day? Thank you.

03:32:08 I honestly think today was just down to discipline. I think the days that we've had a little bit rougher and come 14th, 15th, it's been a thing of we've just made stupid mistakes. That's the bottom line. We know we're good players. We know we have the potential to make land. It's just about all of us being at that top level, being all motivated and just keeping the discipline. And, you know, today that's what we did. We still made some mistakes today. We should have been first, to be honest with you.

03:32:36 This last game was pretty rough, but yeah, it's just about discipline I think.

03:32:41 I want to follow up with that. I mean, you finished the day with 14 KP light had 13 KP. You guys are getting the kills and you know what you guys have to do differently. How would you, how would you fear that season 20 has been to your team overall? Because you guys have been ramping up and getting better, but now the days are kind of ending when it comes to split one before we go to the pro league regional finals. So what are your thoughts right now as that's coming up soon?

03:33:08 Ja, ich denke, mein Hauptpunkt ist, dass durch ProDig es ein bisschen eine Erfahrung für uns ist. Wir haben von zu leben, zu zu gewinnen, zu zu gewinnen. Und ich weiß, das ist sehr einfach und einfach zu verstehen. Aber wenn du in diese Games mit 18 anderen Teams in Live-Zone, 3 oder 4, oder was es, manchmal, all du willst, ist zu sitzen in die Körner und chill. Und du kannst nicht so machen. Du kannst nicht zu viel Respekt, aber du kannst nicht einfach sein.

03:33:37 Und heute, ich denke, wie viele Kills haben wir hatten? Ich denke, es war 56, oder so? Ich denke, es zeigt, dass wir nicht mehr wundern. Wir sind nicht gefährdet, was müssen wir tun. Wir versuchen, für die winn. Und ja, wir sind einfach nur am besten.

03:33:54 I want to talk to you a little bit about your team composition here on Stormpoint Blast. Obviously, you had the contest over at Zeus there, so you weren't playing a controller character. You're running Conduit, Bloodhound, and Horizon. How did that affect your game plan? Obviously, you guys did very well in the contest, but then you have to play out the rest of the game without that ring console knowledge, but still doing quite well. So yeah, how does that affect the game plan after playing a contest?

03:34:23 Ich würde sagen, es ist ziemlich hart zu machen. Es ist definitiv nicht ein schlechtes Composition. Es ist nur für den Contest. Die Horizont ist auch einfach nur für den Kontest. Es ist eine Composition, die man immer noch machen kann, und es ist ein sehr guter Spiel mit. Der Hauptschrug für dieses Comp ist nicht zu haben, dass es eine Bangalore zu machen. Die letzten Game, die Rotate, die wir hatten zu erreichen, mit all den Teams alive und...

03:34:51 Es ist einfach nichts zu halten. Es ist schwer, es ist hart. Und die anderen zwei Spiele, wir hatten ZONE näher uns, so es wirklich favoriert uns. Und bei diesem Punkt, es war plain disciplined. Aber die actualen Composition itself ist nicht perfekt für die Spiel, aber es ist nicht schlecht, aber es ist nicht schlecht, bei allen Dingen. Wir können definitiv haben big Spiele. You know, just a quick piggyback on that Conduit, wie du dir fühlst? Sie war natürlich sehr strong, kind of fell off a little bit in terms of her playrate. Well, a lot in terms of her playrate.

03:35:20 Ist es etwas, was du denkst, könnte es kommen wieder ein bisschen mehr? Oder es funktioniert für was du, was du? Ich würde sagen, es ist nicht etwas, das ist meta. Es ist nicht schlecht. Es ist einfach, es sind einfach besser Characters. Ich denke, wenn du dieses Characters bist, ist es nur von Contest, weil du es in Contest nur in Kontest, um das downtime von wenn jemand kriegt. Aber ja, ich persönlich könnte es kommen wieder für heute.

03:35:46 Blas, bevor I let you go, listen, we haven't talked to you a lot on this platform in the ALGS. You've been a pro for like four years. Just anything you want to say to people watching, listening, you know, I'm glad we have a chance to kind of highlight you and all you've done and, you know, what's going on with you guys on OMIT. So, yeah, the floor is yours before we say goodbye. Yeah, I really appreciate it. I really appreciate the chance to be able to come on here and, like, talk about this stuff. Just want to say thank you to my org. I appreciate everyone.

03:36:13 Appreciate the support. I have lots of people DMing me right now saying how well we did. It means a lot. I've been doing this for a long time, as you said, like four years, which is crazy. I've always told myself to just stick it out and be disciplined and you'll get there. And I think we're on the right track. It's been hard, but we're getting there.

03:36:31 I absolutely love that statement. We'll leave it on that, Blas. Thank you so much. Congratulations. Didn't get the win, but a really good third-place performance. And hey, had that last game gone your way, it definitely would have been yours today. Thanks for joining us, Blas. Thank you. Thank you. Blas, ladies and gentlemen, from Omit, great showing. And you know what, Vicky, I think I'll lead with you as well. Overall, great day of EMEA action here. Season 20, our last couple of days before the regional final. I mean, what are your takeaways?

03:37:01 I can't wait to see Aurora land. They're such a good team. It's like I always get to see them so close. And now I hope I get to finally see them because they just stay on top. Literally the most consistent EMEA squad that we have out there. And the fact that they were able to start off rough and find a game with 18 KP. I mean, aside from the Titans that they are in this region, I wanted to give a shout out to teams like E6 where they started off the split, the first split.

03:37:31 Ich möchte diese Team zeigen, die sie haben bereits in den letzten Jahren. Und dann sehen die Team wie Red Dragon, wenn sie wirklich das Reaktion machen können, obwohl sie das letzte Mal sehen, dass wir sie in der Matchdayen spielen haben. Sie haben natürlich etwas gemacht, so ich möchte sie wieder in Full Force sehen.

03:37:47 Und es ist ein sehr guter sentiment, als auch ein paar Hofferungen. Als ein neues Phase beginnt, sieht man, was wird, was wird kommen, in unseren anderen Splits. Es ist toll, zu sprechen über Teams wie das. Genome, wir haben dich von APAC-South. Jetzt sind wir in Nord-Amerikas soon. EMEA, wir haben uns schon über die Welt. Aber APAC-South, haben wir etwas Spaß gemacht. Pretty soon sind wir ein Teil. Wir werden uns wissen, ein bisschen über das.

03:38:11 Ja, so, uh, we're, our schedule a little bit ahead of, uh, EMEA and North America here, so we've got the Regional Finals coming up tonight. Uh, it will be starting when we usually start our second series, uh, that's at 4pm SGT, or where I'm here in Melbourne, it's, uh, 7pm. Uh, and obviously it's gonna be a fun run, right? I mean, we saw the, uh, the APAC North Final last night, uh, you know, Reject with an amazing performance there, so who knows if, uh, someone can do something like that and wrap it up in a couple of games.

03:38:40 But either way, we've got a lot of strong teams. Their wanton dumpling have just come out of nowhere in some ways and have been performing phenomenally. So I'm really keen to see if they can rack up their first win in a match point series. Well, if you're wondering why we're going to be missing you in North America, ladies and gentlemen, you look at those times, that's why. Because at midnight, he's going again. So we got to have him take a little bit of rest. But great job, Gino. Vicky, as well.

03:39:10 Well, I'll see you a little bit later in the day, but congrats on a great broadcast, guys. All right. Well, that should sum it up. Ladies and gentlemen, what a start here we've had in EMEA for Matchday 8. But guess what? It continues in just a little bit. That's right. North America is coming up. We've got to see who is going to be heading towards that regional final as well. And there are some big names that are going to be playing. You know them.

03:39:39 You see them, he's pointing at me. Wow, look at that, Hal. TSM, of course, they're going to be featured in today's NA matchup. And as always, they're going to be fun to listen to, to watch, and to see perform. They have been...

03:39:52 in a very good position and they continue to be one of the only two teams that when we get to land knows how to get the job done see if that continues as well because we've also got to see native gaming rambo he joined us on the show last week he says they kind of need to pick things up a little bit but they've been finding the meta they've been staying focused and staying positive and that is sometimes all you can do with this team there's been nothing to stay positive about sweet give him a new or give him a new squad and he gets the job done better than almost

03:40:21 anyone would have anticipated sweet versus how versus native all coming up as well

03:40:29 Play Apex Esports on X or play Apex here on Twitch. You guys can find all of the information. And you know what? Here's the cool thing. We have a little bit of time right now. You guys can go play. I think get a couple ranked games in. Get grinding. Play some Apex if you're going to be going to bed like Genome pretty soon. Or hey, if you're going to stay by and watch North America, feel free to wait up with us. But get in on the game. We'd love to see you in there. Go grind some ranked. And as always, my friends, never give up. Never stop gaming. We'll see you all next time.
