Ankündigung und Einleitung in den ALGS Pro League Match Day 7
00:05:49
00:05:49 I'd love to introduce another one of our Talent Team that will be seeking a new Legend to play coming next, Split. Vicky, welcome to the broadcast. God, I love you, Dia. You know what? Shout out to Dia for putting me on blast because Bloodhound, Asilevisa, maybe we're entering that seer meta for real now, but it is the last day of Pro League before we see these changes take place. And on top of that, I think there's only like three days left of Pro League before that Regional Final, so, so much on the line.
00:06:17 Ja, da wirklich ist. Und als die Stakes werden sogar höher werden, natürlich, Teams werden alle letzte Analyse brauchen, alle letzte Edge sie können über andere Spiele. Und zu bringen all das zu dem Broadcast haben, wir haben Jamersen, unser Statistische Mastermind, als wir in dieser Split gehen.
00:06:37 Ja, es ist definitiv der Season des Stats, denn da ist so viel zu breit mit dem neuen POI-Draft-System. Das sind zwei Rounds bereits, dass wir durch den Runden haben. Ich denke, alle Spieler sind glücklich mit es, wir sind glücklich mit es, und ich bin glücklich für dieses Final Round in EMEA. Das kommt direkt aus den Backen der letzten Runden, die waren sehr spannend in der eigenen Runde. Even als es war nur die Schlussfolgerung für den zweiten Runden. Robben, die...
00:07:02 Standings did get kind of turned around by the results of yesterday's games. Let's take a look back at how some of those games concluded, because it was a wild ride to get to where we are today. Starting things off, of course, when we were over on Stormpoint, which is now the map that we're starting on, it was Free Agent Kids that took a massive lead early on with very aggressive plays, opening things up.
00:07:26 und die resten von Stormpoint mit dem Game and Gladiators zu haben. Und ich gebe euch an honorable mention hier zu 3D Max, die able to perform very consistently on that map, als auch. Wenn wir in Game 3 sind, Cenote Cave vielleicht nicht genau wie Ninja in Pajama's... way, aber... ...at dem Ende all...
00:07:45 We had 9 Lies coming out on top with a masterful third party, continuing the theme of the previous two games. World's Edge, a very different story, however, as finally, Vicky, Exo managed to take the lead in game number one from Skyhook, no less. It was huge here, too. I mean, and something else we have to talk about is...
00:08:04 Danisch, who had a pop-off Game 5, that really allowed them to elevate themselves in the overall standings, before FA Kids being the only team yesterday to take two dubs. They opened up strongly on Stormpoint and then ended it even stronger on World's Edge, so that consistency allowed them to take that first-place spot, elevating themselves 75 points, where Alliance, they got Seko 53 points, a pretty big gap. And after all of that, once we tabulated how this impact...
00:08:31 in den Overall League results, we've got Alliance back on top. EMEA is once again topped by Alliance, who continue to, I would say, lead the way in terms of their macro, and yet, I can't help but wonder whether we'll have a couple other teams catching up to them during the course of these next three days of matches. In the 11th through 20th category, we do have teams like Vex, and notably, Pac-
00:08:57 The reason that I'm noting passion here is because this team isn't playing anymore. As of yesterday, they're no longer together. They have gone their separate ways, and it is really impressive to me, Jamerson, that a team that no longer actually has anyone playing for it still is managing to hold on to the 12th place spot. Yeah, I mean, if you think about the potential, right? That's 45 points. 12th place after three series played. Imagine where they could have been if they didn't have to dissolve. But yesterday was a good look at, you know, what...
00:09:25 und wir sehen, dass jeder Spieler von dem Team mit den neuen Teams haben, sie hatten ihre Moments, aber sie waren absolut auf. So die Potenzial ist, es geht um die Leaderboarden hier, was das Team was able zu tun, und was jetzt, dass sie ihre neue Teams haben. Und sie sind fantastisch so far, als du gesagt hast, aber die Teams, die vielleicht nicht mehr als fantastisch sind, werden sie...
00:09:54 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
Team-Analysen und Strategien für den Match Day
00:10:19
00:10:19 Every single day they play from here on out, because this is one of two that they'll have until the end of the season. But that does bring us to today's games, because we aren't going to be replaying yesterday's matchups of A and C. Instead, we're moving into, or other B and C, we're moving into A and B playing against each other today, which will give a very different look at the game of Apex Legends and some of the...
00:10:45 Rivalries that we've got, especially in Group A, could certainly impact the rest of the lobby. Of course, we've got fan favorites like Apex Warlords, Atlas, who have come up from the challenger circuit, Aurora, who everyone's been keeping their eye on, and Vicky, Aurora, a very surprising, and not in a good way, performance this split.
00:11:05 Yeah, because you talk about the teams that now have to perform. Time is of the essence. And Aurora just haven't performed to the degree that we were expecting. I mean, even making some changes that we could touch up on later going into today's competitive game. With 38 total points and sitting in 17th in the overall standings, you have to be consistently in that top 20 to compete in the regional finals. But we were expecting more from a team that has no issue experimenting with those comps when we did see them bring out that life.
00:11:34 In a funny way, we've got several teams today that are willing to experiment with their compositions. Saw CyberCats and Lonzi joining us on the broadcast yesterday and breaking down what we might expect from them in the final round robin. But Jamerson, I called you out on this for a reason. The statistics are really important in analyzing exactly how you're playing and where you can shore up your weaknesses. I hear you've got some interesting ones about conversions into wins.
00:12:02 Yeah, I mean, we're going to be taking a look basically at the top 5% rate, right? So for a lot of our top squads in our groups right now, for between FaZe, Alliance, GoNext, Navi, and GG, you can see that consistency matters. It's only Navi there who haven't been able to get into top 5 as much as the rest of the lobby, but their conversion rate on it is at least 50%. But taking a look at another anomaly, it's FaZe right now, who is the top of group A, currently in 4th place in the overall leaderboard with...
00:12:29 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
00:12:47 Das ist, wenn sie in den Top 5 sind, sie werden in den Top 3 oder Top 2 gewinnen. Und dann haben sie in den Top 3 oder Top 2 gewonnen. Und dann haben sie in den Top 3 oder Top 3 gewonnen.
00:13:12 But it does, of course, bring up that question. When we do get into the match point format, when that does become a thing, and that will be important in a couple more months, that's where the questions will arise for FaZe. Will they be able to turn things around? Will they be able to finally convert these top fives into actual wins, like teams like Alliance or GoNext, who have a very good rate on that?
00:13:37 I mean, that is the most important question. Like you say, alluding to things like LAN and even regional finals here in EMEA, being able to close out on Matchpoint is the pinnacle of Apex Legends. And when we think about teams that have very little experience on Matchpoint, I want to talk about some of those squads that maybe are coming up from the challenger circuit and really impressing. Atlas have been at the forefront of that chain or something.
00:14:02 Yeah, I mean, Atlus, I would definitely put them right now with their performance. It's been amazingly consistent across the board. They do have wins on the board at the very least, and I would definitely place them closer to the upper of the middle of the pack right now, which for a team that just made their way into the Pro League is super important. They played through challengers, and now here they are, and they're showing that they can hang with the big boys, and I think that is a very notable thing because...
00:14:29 We've seen teams falter once they made it into the Pro Leagues, not being able to really find their identity or play within the meta, right? And especially you brought the point, it's yourself, Dia, that they weren't playing meta throughout Challenger Series, but here they are being able to bring out the Bane Cat and really be able to show their stuff with it.
00:14:48 It's been very impressive so far, and like you said, upper-middle. Still a little ways to go, should they want to make international competition, but absolutely a team to have your eyes on today. Now Jamerson was talking about top fives, and I'm gonna take this in a bit of a different direction, Vicky, because one of our teams is in top five so far, top five in the league, but still I think is lacking some familiarity with the audience. Talk to me a little bit about Danish.
00:15:14 Oh, Danish. I mean, sometimes my very favorite morning treat to really snack on out here, but something also even better to see is his squad popping off with the consistency of sitting not only in fifth in the overall standings, but we did see them get fourth place total after yesterday's games, with them being the most consistent eighth place team that I've ever seen, with four of those games landing them in eighth place out of the six, where they also were able to end up winning that game five with an explosive 11k key game on World's Edge.
00:15:44 Und das ist mit dem Lenden über Geyser, denn sie hatten die 31st Seed Kick in Picking World's Edge, wo sie Prioritized Stormpoint, wo sie den 10th Seed zu pick downbeast. Und das ist das letzte Mal, dass wir diese zwei Gruppen wirklich zusammenfassen werden, denn das letzte Mal, die diese Gruppen wirklich zusammenfassen wurden, Dänisch got 12 Plates mit mehr Success auf Stormpoint. Das wird interessant sein zu sehen, dass sie noch in den Top 5 bleiben können. Sie sehen hier, die vier Games, die 8th Plates haben.
00:16:13 One game that they won with the 11 KP skyrocketing them, giving them 23 points before ending in another top five here for the last game for game six yesterday. I've got to give credit where it's due. Quadruple 8 plays really impressive and you're getting some nice placement points as well. But while Danish like to give a challenge to other teams actually in the games on ALGS match days, some of our teams go a little bit further and take the challenge onto social media.
00:16:42 None more so than Aurora, who recently have been throwing hands online with Na'Vi. Given the fact that these two teams are in the same group, this is even crazier. But certainly calling out some of the, say, career records of Na'Vi and Aurora. This was the initial tweet that started it all. And then we had a bit of a fire back from Matafe, who of course was not going to let this slide after clinching a spot significantly.
00:17:11 Above Aurora, just last matchday that these two played together, Navi ended with a respectable sixth place and took the opportunity to again fire back, letting Aurora know where things stood. Kinda even joined in on the fun, which I thought was really enjoyable because kinda not only brought some of the youthful energy that of course he brings to any squad, but...
00:17:34 Also brought us an interesting video to showcase exactly how Navi planned on dismantling Aurora in the future. At the time, this was, say, an aggressive push from Aurora that was really well punished and it was Navi off the back of handling multiple squads that were able to ultimately win this fight and convert it into a great matchday result. Moving out of this millage area can be really challenging, but...
Roster-Änderungen und Beobachtungen vor dem ersten Spiel
00:18:00
00:18:00 It certainly goes to show that Navi are operating at full strength. We cannot necessarily say the same, however, about Aurora. Because coming into today, there is a big roster change. Much like yesterday, where we brought up a big tweet. I'm not going to read all of this to you. However, what I will say is that...
00:18:15 Hardecki will not be joining us today. Aurora is no longer going to be playing alongside Hardecki, which should come as a big surprise to their fanbase and to players, fans of Apex around the world. Hardecki has become almost synonymous with Aurora and their results over the past split. This time around...
00:18:33 Und ich will sagen, es ist nur noch ein Mitglied auf der Rostere, dass sie mit spielen können. So ich expecte mich zu sehen, Rugby zu sehen, für heute's Games zu finden. Zu wissen, mehr über Aurora, vielleicht ein Glimpse into ihre comms, find out, was ihre Gameplan ist und wie sie fühlen, nach dieser quicken Rostere-Shift.
00:18:52 Of course, you can join in on Faceit Watch, the official multiview partner of the Apex Legends Global Series. This way, you can catch the main broadcast, you can catch Aurora POV, and maybe you were listening to Vicky and Jamerson and you want to pull up a little bit of Danish, a little bit of Atlas, see what's got them going in the new split. I, for one, am always going to have the map open, and I recommend that you do too, since it gives some fantastic context. Even if you're not joining Faceit Watch for the actual broadcast, as it happens, one of the really nice things that Faceit...
00:19:22 FACEIT Watch has just introduced a VODs feature. Where should you miss a day, miss a game, you can always tune back in and watch the videos there. You can watch live at fce.gg slash watchALGS. And with that, I'm gonna let things go. I think we've set things up pretty well. You've got a couple of options for how you'll watch the ALGS. My personal favorite is right here on the main broadcast with Vicky and Jamerson. Take it away, folks, for game number one.
00:19:48 Thank you so much, Dia. Dia in the driver's seat, Jamerson, I very much enjoy that. But you know what's also crazy? Something to touch up on the last thing that Dia talked about before the face it here. And it's the fact that Harddecky, fan favorite Harddecky, who is easily a top five EMEA player, not playing with Aurora. And that is, when I saw that change, I found it pretty interesting. Of course, I know that Aurora, they have their cards in their favor here, but we have to see how these changes really work out together.
00:20:18 Als jemand war die Lifeline, er war noch mehr Kills und mehr Damage, glaube ich, als Oiering und Night Impulse. So das ist wirklich verrückt, dass es für was Aurora wirklich gut ist. Und natürlich, wir werden uns auf Stormpoint starten, nachdem wir die Aktion gesehen haben. Ja, wir werden unsere ersten drei Games auf Stormpoint haben, bevor wir auf World's Edge transitionieren. Ja, zurück zu dem Harddecke Punkt, er war der Essential Battle Medic, richtig?
00:20:47 auf der Frontline, dashing through everything. So, es ist sehr wichtig, aber ich hoffe, dass er irgendwo landet und wir sehen, wie sie endet in den Rest des Draft sind. Aber wir sehen uns, wie du gesagt hast, wir beginnen es auf Stormpoint. Und ich meine, ich glaube, wir sind nicht so surprised, wassobber, bei den meisten dieser Draft picks. Sido Station, Mill, Lightning Rod Zoo Station haben eine sehr hohe Priorität. Und ich denke, hier in particular, für EMEA, wenn es um Draftingen geht, diese Priorität
00:21:16 Und mit Gaiman bereits dominieren, das A vs B
00:21:45 I feel like they could really run away with the first half of this match.
00:21:51 Oh man, it's so interesting, you know, that goes hand in hand with the POI drafts and how that's influenced the way that a lot of these teams want advantage of where they could play to their strengths, whether it be on Storm Point at first or World's Edge. Of course, we don't have that final pick because Passion, once again, will not be in this lobby. So when we do start game number one, we will be having 19 squads. That's just something to keep in mind here, but also another POI that could be left open for a team that wants to try to play more into their comfort. Yeah, it leaves a little...
00:22:20 Ich glaube, es ist noch ein bisschen mehr offen. Aber wir alle wissen, das 20th pick, das letzte pick. Ich glaube, ich glaube, das ist auch noch der Eastern-Edge. Oder Lift, ich glaube, ist das andere, mit Trident. Also, ich denke, all das lines up. Na'Vi sind, ich glaube, 3rd overall in der Gruppe. Picking up Barometer South, sie müssen sie wieder convertieren. Wie ich schon erwähnt, die letzten zwei Mal, diese Gruppe sind auf. A versus B, Na'Vi.
00:22:49 Das war sehr gut aus Stormpoint. Und ich denke, wenn wir diese Souther-Zone pullen, dann können wir das. Das war ein tolles Job. Wir hatten die Rings, die zu ECHO HQ-Devastated Coast waren, und sie sollten das wiederholfen.
Spielverlauf und Team-Dynamiken auf Stormpoint
00:23:04
00:23:04 Und das funktioniert perfekt in der Rote, wir sehen uns die Southeren Circles zu sehen. Das Day, das du schon erwähnt hast, hat mit Navi zu Endeffektiv so stark, nachdem ein sehr lackluster Day zu haben, in der ersten Phase mit 14 Kp, mit dem in den Top 10 für Groups A und B. Will sie kämpfen jetzt, dass wir jetzt auf Stormpoint starten? Ich glaube nicht, dass sie das Problem haben, eigentlich. Das ist das, was ich liebe, dass wir zwischen den zwei Mappen zwischen den Pro-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League.
00:23:33 Ja, um, again, we're still waiting for a lot more of the data to come in. I know that I believe APAC North is done. APAC South might need to conclude as well, but we are starting to get in all of this data.
00:23:47 Shoutouts to everyone. I think Berk the Nerd is one of the people on Reddit right now that have been meticulously by hand collecting all the data and calculating themselves. I don't know what their methodology is. I'm just going to go ahead and trust them at this point because, of course, you leave the numbers to smarter people, much smarter people than you.
00:24:06 Oh, Jamerson, you're putting a lot on here for Reddit, all right? But you know what, though? With those numbers, with those numbers, I definitely don't blame you because we had a bunch of projected points needed that was compiled together.
00:24:20 On the competitive Apex subreddit. And it was very interesting to see some of the data calculated on there. But also puts into perspective what these teams need to go for. Now that you have like three days left. For you to be able to put the points on board. To at least be within the top 20 to compete for the regional finals. So that's how we talk about the teams that may find their comfort zone on Stormpoint. Since we are starting on Stormpoint. I do believe mental is everything. Especially a game like Apex Legends. Where if you could start off with high level momentum.
00:24:50 You could just keep snowballing that into the next map, even if you don't have that same success, which is actually something similar that we saw from Danish just yesterday. I mentioned it earlier on before, but they're a very, as you saw, consistent Stormpoint team. Before, they were able to turn things around, were able to rotate from their Geyser POI, and get that huge dub on game number five.
00:25:09 Yeah, and I think going back to that point about time running out, essentially, right? We are in round number three right now. We have two more match days left for every single group, for every single team. And for those teams that find themselves in the bottom third of the leaderboard, they're not completely out of it, but it means that they need to show up and perform. You were talking about points averages. Well, the teams that are down there in the 30th, 29th, and 28th, I mean, they're looking at needing to have two top three finishes, something along those lines. I don't know. They've done the math on Reddit.
00:25:38 You can go ahead and check that out. But it is going to be an uphill battle, to say the least. And at that point, it's added pressure, right? If you're already struggling as a team, what happens when you're really put under pressure? At the point where diamonds need to form, how do you actually pull out that victory? So this is going to be a very, very difficult final third of the split for some of our teams.
00:26:04 Absolutely, especially with a huge mid-season patch coming out right around the corner. I mean, there are certain things that Miracles can't really go into work if you are at the very bottom end of the leaderboard with seven points and the max amount of points that you could obtain in a day of Pro League is, what, 25? So, I mean, that's just going to be absolutely insane. You have to literally frag out of your mind out here as you guys, if you think you could do better than any of the pros in this lobby, make sure you guys check out the challenger circuit number two.
00:26:33 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
00:26:57 Ja, und es ist verrückt. Ich denke, für Challenger Circuit 1, EMEA hat etwas wie 300 Teams geschehen. Für NA, es war, glaube ich, 500. Also, ja, viele von euch wirklich auf die Challenge und vielleicht noch mehr von euch werden. Ich denke, NA hat zu spielen durch 17 Rounds oder etwas absurdes, um zu versuchen, in den Finals zu erreichen. So, lange Zeit vorhanden von euch, aber hey, wie Vicky gesagt, wenn du...
00:27:24 You can take them on. Go ahead. It's going to be a crazy grind, but hey, that's what you got to do to make it pro. But here we go. Launching into our first game of the day, Vicky. Let's get started here. Stormpoint ready to go. And once again, guys, thank you so much for your patience. There was a small delay. We were able to resolve some issues. And now we get to dive right into the action, starting off with Aurora and Rugby taking Harddecky's place on this team.
00:27:51 Ja, ich meine, Rugby, natürlich. Ich fühle mich, dass er das Lifeline ist besser für sie. Haryaki hat es sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr. Und wir alle wissen, wir alle wissen, wir alle wissen, dass wir nicht so haben, also wir sehen. Aber Rugby, gerade jetzt, he kommt in dieses...
00:28:12 Untertitelung im Auftrag des ZDF.
00:28:32 Yeah, at least we're able to get the Trident coming out of there. You saw Passion U.A. We're trying to sneak their way to maybe get the Trident themselves. Also split loot the DBZ buildings that we saw earlier on before rotating away. But Aurora's gonna absolutely love Jamerson. Look at that. They got the ring console. They got the survey beacon. Whatever they can work with here in making that next rotation. Because it is pooling close to their POI over by wall. And it's going over to the north side right on top of Go Next. Yeah, going straight over to Cascade. And one thing I want to know.
00:29:01 So, even though...
00:29:31 A team like Aurora might have priority on it. GoNex on top of it. It is still open for anyone to be able to take, but right now GoNex, of course, taking the wheelhouse building early on. No surprises there whatsoever, but they are getting challenged for it by 3D Max. Uh-oh. 3Max quickly with their rotate already going to find a free building here, and we're going to expect a lot more of the teams to start quickly rotating, but this works perfectly into their team comp.
Kämpfe und Rotationen in der frühen Spielphase
00:29:57
00:29:57 So you can see you can already start setting up with the Watson fences you see the scan across from them on the other side is go next we mentioned it already they do land here a team that's actually very consistent in getting into that top five that you're highlighting earlier Jamerson we know that shares always so good when it comes to calling it rotates and quick rotates at that while players with the fusee that we've been seeing make his way into the pro league and different comps that we've also seen other teams opt for ready gonna be able to take high over Aurora on this high ground to try to fight for that survey.
00:30:27 Yeah, it looks like a lot of teams having very similar ideas, trying to go to the north side of the map right now and then work their way on down because that is going to be the slow side of the ring overall. So we have a little bit more time to work off of that. It does seem like we've got other fights taking place across the map right now. Graceful going down as well. So things not looking too great so far in game number one for Team Nessie.
00:30:52 Mm-mm. Wir sehen uns auch andere Teams mit Onnestein zu verletzten. Wir haben nicht mehr Fassion in der Lobby. Wir beginnen mit 19 Squads. Es ist ein Highlighter hier.
00:31:03 Looks like the fighting has not stopped here too. Buy that choke closer to Pile and Forbidden. Now gonna be able to wrap around another team. It's Full English with Sir Thou coming in clutch. Forbidden get eliminated with Sir Thou making a statement. Gonna be able to get the gold knockdown shield on top of this. Now Full English are gonna be able to get a full reset on top of it.
00:31:22 Wow, that was an incredibly close fight, but you can see why so many players actually put a lot of focus onto maybe getting the L-Star in their hands if they can, especially if they basically have naked guns overall. The L-Star just sings and destroys players right there. You can see that they did complete out the fight in time. You've got teams like Gaiman coming in from that rotate on the south side. You have to also worry about possibly Na'Vi rolling up through all of that, but they did it just in time there to avoid a lot of the...
00:31:52 Es sieht aus, dass wir noch eine Bewegung in haben. Und die Beast of the Hunt wird gepoppt von Passion UA. Passion UA, Max Trafee, die Schiehl-Sell gepoppt hat. Sie haben die Schiehl-Sell gepoppt. Sie haben die Beast of the Hunt gepoppt, aber sie sehen, ob sie sich nicht mehr zu sehen, bevor sie sich an, zu sehen, wo die Positionierung kommt, von der Opposite-Teammate ist.
00:32:12 und die Regular Grenade.
00:32:34 The strength of the catalyst there really, I think is one thing that you want to point out, that they had control over the doors, right? So FaZe are able to play off of that, while on the other side, Passion UA cannot. They know they have to basically inch through one side while FaZe had all of the options available to them. So that catalyst really controlling basically the entire fight with the traps down on the stairs, with the doors controlled, and allowing them to get that natural flank. You do also have to note that...
00:33:03 Das war ein schönes Arktar-Stick. Du kannst sehen, er war zu entscheiden, hey, ich bin stuck, wo ich bin? Er versucht, er geht weg von seinem Team. Du kannst die ganze Zeit, er ist einfach für ihn zu werden. Und das ist eine sehr einfache Position zu finden, mit einem Schild und der Arktar-Stick zu verabschieden. Aber es sieht aus wie Na'Vi, jetzt in der Slow Rotate, hier auf der Southwest-Side der Zone, kommen von Barometer, mit der Weg über den Mill.
00:33:29 Throwing hands here too, 3 KP to their name. Purple Evo Shields works right into that next rotate that they're looking for. Matafi speeding up so that way you can close in the gap with the rest of his team. Playing on the edge with the circle closing in. They have no other team to worry about on the west side of the circle. Basically the entire lobby minus Aurora have found themselves into where that next circle is going to be pulling. So many teams are currently coexisting in Cascade.
00:33:55 Es ist die Ring-3-Informationen, die viele Spieler versuchen zu gehen. Orain ist tatsächlich auf die Survey-Beacon für die Squad zu sehen, was ein bisschen mehr ist. Oh mein Gott, ein Hard-Pull-Away-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A
00:34:16 Even better, though, for GoNext to still be safe in Cascade in the building of their choice. Although there is a lot of openings in that building that a lot of teams could try to fight for, but they know that they would easily just get thirded at that point here, too. But it still would GoNext. Being in that next circle could capitalize with the squads that are going to have to funnel into their line of sight when it comes to rotating into where it's going to be pulling here. But Gaming Gladiators with the right call and rotating off of the northwest side of Pylon, where Full English will be trailing down right behind them.
00:34:46 Yeah, the difficult thing for Go next here, even though they are still in, you can see that...
00:34:50 The Churn basically has shifted its way to the north side of the map. A lot of teams were very much considering this one to go over towards Cascade. And so we're working their way to the north. And then having that very southern pull coming out is going to leave Go next as the ultimate gatekeepers basically of this northern side. Luckily for them, they are split holding that compound, right, with another squad. And it's a Watson squad at that. So those two might be able to work in conjunction with each other. You know, we're not talking about
00:35:19 We're just talking about, hey, just kind of having a natural understanding. Let's not grief each other. Let's make sure that we just play for KP here. And I think for both 3D Max and Go Next, they should be able to realize that. And then ultimately, it will come down to these two squads, Go Next versus Go Next versus... I've already forgotten the team. We're right next to them here. There's so many different teams on top of each other. But it's about...
Strategische Entscheidungen und Team-Konfrontationen im Mid-Game
00:35:48
00:35:48 Kallibay kann das zu spielen. Sie sehen Sie Kashera, mit Faze zu nehmen. Sie sehen die Arxar, in der Richtung. Aber es gibt auch viele Verrückte und Verrückte für die Raw-Shots. Sie sehen Sie Kashera, in der Position, während die Spieler in der Mitte der Rotate sind.
00:36:08 We're some more of these teams are gonna try to rotate through flat south side But I like the pings already coming in where they're gonna have to wrap around command center with the circle being right around the corner cuz Alice was gonna gatekeep them if they didn't make this call if they do approach in the short side though We know how many squads like phase like go next that are waiting for them on that north side of cascade Yeah, that's just nice fortuitous, you know
00:36:30 So, jetzt sind wir von der SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH
00:36:59 auf der south side. Es wird ein schönes Rotate für sie. Das ist ein schönes Spot für Navi zu spielen.
00:37:06 Oh, aber Sie sehen die Pings hier, auch, weil sie gleich nach Fullenglish starten, welches Gaming Gladiators, wir sahen in der Bunker, in der Bunker, zu Fullenglish, könnte versuchen, eine extra Evo-Shield und vielleicht sogar extra Pressure, weil Fullenglish at least hat die Option, zu counter-rotaten durch die Right-Side Choke, die hier aus der Jurrasik, so sie können sich auch in der Nähe-Nech-Circle finden, aber das Gleiche kann man sagen über Navi, wenn sie versuchen, hier zu über-Extend, mit Gaming Gladiators zu sehen,
00:37:35 Ja, Hanzpinn hat sich schon mal für den Scan. Ich denke, es war über 30, 40 HP da. Also, ich glaube, Nabi wird jetzt besser sein. Jetzt sind sie in den Top 15. Sie haben schon ein Kill Points. Sie sind hier bei vollen Englisch. Ich denke, die vollen Idee ist, Sie wissen, was, wir haben von den ersten Spiel. Wir brauchen drei Punkte von KP. Wir haben schon eine von Placement. Ich habe das eine Top 5. Ich liebe die Idee, dass du einfach dieses Spiel hast.
00:38:05 Now it's about extending that early lead.
00:38:07 And you can even see in that side by side, Gaming Gladiators just waiting in the bunker, if they did decide to try to commit to that. I do like this option of just rotating over to the west choke of Jurassic instead, because there's also an evil harvester there that they can work with. But then now wrapping around, knowing that the circle is going to be pulling to the north side, all the way northeast rather, from Cascade Falls into that no-name area, it's going to be detrimental because they will still be in the line of sight of Gaming Gladiators once it pulls north there, and all these other squads on the outskirts are going to...
00:38:37 Und ich werde versuchen, dass ich in die gleiche Richtung als Navi verletze.
00:38:40 Yeah, this zone can't make up its mind. Am I going to Cascades? Am I going over to Lyft? Eh, let's split the difference right in between. And so the idea for Go Next is still trying to hold on to that side is going to be important, but you can see now that it leaves available for a chance for the teams to be able to evac in. Cybercats, though, aren't given that chance as the Ash goes instantly down. They do still have the Bloodhound along with the Caustic alive, but for how long Elon Z gets melted?
00:39:09 Und jetzt ist es nur der Bloodhound.
00:39:22 Es wird aber auch ein paar Shots für jetzt. Aber Aurora zeigt, dass Blacklist wird, dass sie nicht mehr Fully kommen können. Mit der Kossik gibt es noch mehr Zeit, aber er wird die Rez. Aber sind sie able, mit Aurora zu gewinnen? Und sie wird die Re-Knock. Aber sie hat die Re-Knock. Aber sie hat die Re-Knock, mit Blacklist.
00:39:42 Sie müssen ein wenig Druck auf die Zonen zu stellen, und es ist auf der schnelleren Seite der Zonen. Elan-Z wird sofort zurückgekehrt, aber er braucht sofort, und er hat einen hoffen, dass niemand in der Nähe ist. Luckily für ihn, es sieht man, dass jeder andere Team ist auf den Weg. Aurora geht für die Evac selbst. Sie arbeiten mit ihren Weg zu den Waterfalls, und jetzt ist es gerade safe, und es ist eigentlich ein sehr guter Spot zu spielen und versuchen zu finden die Kill-Points.
00:40:08 So the shots going in from Aurora here too. Rugby taking over that lifeline role. Gonna be able to call in that care pack here too. You can imagine that they probably already have that gold EVO since they have the purple EVO shields. Rather the gold knockdown shields since they have the purple EVOs. While Navi continue on the domination on this rotate. Keeping them by the choke. Cybercats finally get eliminated in your feed. And Navi looking to send Danish right back to the lobby. While also looking at their six to make sure they won't get gatekept by... I believe...
00:40:36 Es war das Squad, die in Blacklist waren, die auf die Highground haben, die jetzt auf die Highground haben, die jetzt auf die Highground haben, und sie sind jetzt auf die 2, man. Sie sehen Yuzako, JMW, um zu... Oh, J... Oh, yeah. Er hat sich geöffnet. Wir sehen, ob Navi kann das Final Kill bekommen, hier. Als sie jetzt die Lobby-Leader sind, sind jetzt 6 Kill Points für sie.
00:40:58 Now we have to hit the top 12 territory, but Aurora versus Na'Vi here on the western edge. We've got the zone closing in a minute as well. Aurora looking to get aggressive. And guess who's waiting for them too? Looking at this entire fight is Gaming Gladiators who are finally starting to take some shots at both of these teams. Trying to now avoid this third party because Na'Vi are going to get pinched if they stay in this spot. Now we can have the fast reset luckily for that lifeline.
00:41:23 If they go down to critical damage, Navi, Matafe is able to get that bat off just in time here. But they are not out of danger quite yet. 30 seconds left to go before the zone starts closing in on them. They'll try and buy some space with this drop of the Bangalore Ultimate. And it does force them back and buy a little bit of time. But it's not over yet. Gatemen are still there looking to try and put an end to Navi. But it's going to be Aurora now going straight on in.
00:41:50 Wow, they are so hungry. They know that it's a duo now at this point after Gaiman was able to get the henchmen. But with the smoke, they feel confident enough to get the next knock on Takaina. All the KP matters here for Aurora to capitalize while avoiding feeling that pressure from Gaiman. But Na'Vi are still alive. It may be a solo for right now, but this circle is closing in the next five seconds.
00:42:10 Ja, es ist alles zu kommen, um GG zu sehen, ob sie können.
00:42:23 Ich glaube, das ist ein sehr guter Spiel für sie. Ich denke, das würde sie mit 8, vielleicht 9. Aber es ist FazeClan hier, die in der Bühne zu finden, und sie schauen, um ein Einzelne zu nehmen. Das ist ein bisschen mehr Zonesdamage, als sie aufhören. Das ist ein viel Zonesdamage, also 1.3 HP ist weg. Leider sie quasi in Killing Distanz von Settel. Kashera fängt das eine an. Nags, doch, es ist ein Moment, aber es ist nicht ein Gold Bag Resonant. Es geht nicht hier, als 3D Maxx wird ein Stopp für sie.
Spannungsgeladene Finalphase und Kampf um den Sieg
00:42:51
00:42:51 Und look who was waiting for them on Hype, was Atlas. FaZe in such a terrible position there, but still managed to survive for right now. Even with that cat wall, Kashiro taking those shots, really highlighting how that building had allowed them to not only settle down, but gatekeep a lot of these teams that were funneled entirely out of Cascade. But Atlas getting a way better position, though. Even if they're out in the open, they can play off the lip of the hill to get out of the line of sight of the other teams.
00:43:17 We just had phase going down as well Aurora now finding themselves in some trouble. Oh, yeah Already going down here. We'll see though the docked pickup will at least prove useful for them Unfortunately nine impulse has been a thirsted they haven't recovered the banner quite yet as they move on they look back to see Hey, there is actually an opportunity 40 seconds ago. They need to do it now They need to pick up that banner and go ahead and plug him in
00:43:42 und dann von dort müssen sie das Uphill zurückgehen. Es wird schwer sein, aber wenn sie das tun können, das wäre eine große Miraculous play. Kann sie wegnehmen? Mit der Spieler zu stehen?
00:43:55 Gaming now running further alive. Eternal's gonna wrap behind players that actually may be the distraction that they need, but they finish the fight just as quickly as Oiring now moves in, and Rugby gets deleted out of the fight, having to pop this shield back. Oiring needs to back away. There's just too much pressure, but they were still able to get the banner. Now it's all about getting that res. They do it with 10 seconds left to go. We'll see if he can move fast enough. As soon as he hits the ground, the ring is basically beat on top of him. Trojan here on the south side, looking to try and punish this res, but...
00:44:24 Sie wissen, dass sie nicht wirklich auf den Weg gehen können. Es ist zu viel risk. Und so, sie werden diese High-Ground-Position hier halten. Ein Hand-Off von Ultimate Exzellen für Adnum. Er hat seine Ultimate, wenn er das Final Ring hat. Und jetzt ist es all über die Rez zu tun, und es sieht aus wie sie nicht werden können.
00:44:44 Gaming Badiers finally get eliminated. Aurora's still cleaning up those kills that they can find. They aren't able to wrap around as a full three-man trying to contest Trojan, who had to rotate through Coastal. So they've been here for quite some time, holding onto those buildings, and now playing off the low ground, putting them in the positioning disadvantage. Aurora, though, Rugby ends up going down, and that is not who you want to go down in this final fight you saw. They were able to recover last time because Rugby hit the tap.
00:45:11 But now there is no one there available for it. It's Nine Impulse who just got brought back into the game to try and survive for his team. It's Final Five here, and this game is still a long ways from being over. What do you do here if you're Nine Impulse? Do you want to survive? Because there's still five squads left. Gonext still alive. 3D Max, we're neighboring them. We're looking at them as Kashira cleans up another Kill the Straggler. That was Nine Impulse, leaving Trojan alone on the south side of the circle. Gonext are still coexisting, though, with 3D Max with Atlus trying to take some shots now.
00:45:41 Yeah, go next on the ultimate low there. Atlas really pressuring them. 3D Max, though, fortunately, because they went center so early on, haven't really been able to work their way up towards Purples. Hopefully, in this scramble, they can drop down, do just enough damage to pick that one up. Right now, you can see that south side of the map. That is the god spot because of the churn up here on the northern side, the congestion. The final three teams basically stacked on top of each other.
Trojan's Dominant Start on World's Edge
00:46:08
00:46:08 Oh my goodness, not only just lack of purple, but also lack of ammo that they're working with. As they drop down here and immediately goes down. I don't think that was on purpose, but the circle closing in forces them to drop here. Go next, get unlimited in your feeds. Three squads left and 3D Max playing King of the Hill, coming out as the successors of that building, while staring at Atlas trying to reset. Trojan, though, with no contention, are looking at these two fight without anybody trying to boot them out from being in the middle of the circle.
00:46:36 Ja, Trojans versuchen zu finden, hier zu finden. Wir haben die Bangalore-Ultimate, und da ist wirklich nicht so viel coverage für Atlas. So Atlas ist einfach zu vollständig, um zu zweit, zu zweit, aber sie enden abzuhren. Da wir gehen, um 3-D-Max. Atlas ist jetzt in A2-V-3. Trojans sind sehr schnell hier zu bekommen, und das ist ein Massive-Gain für Trojans. Wir sehen da, dass sie nur 9-Kill-Points haben, um die Plus-12-Kill. Was für Team Trojans start.
00:47:05 Wow, mit 11 Kp. Are you kidding me right now? The dub and 11 Kp to start off the day for a team like Trojan. Highlighting how great that cap, comp.
00:47:17 Das war's für Trojan.
00:47:46 der Frey für all die Teams zu fighten, die zu leben, outside der Cascade. Ja, da war definitiv eine große Liste von Teams über dem, dass sie sich übernehmen können, und sie waren able zu tun, dass sie das so schnell. So ein Massive win für Drojan, die jetzt in der overall Leaderboard ist 14th place, mit 43 points. Und so ein winn wie das, um die Momentum von Teams wie Navi, Go Next, Phase, das ist absolut so crucial hier, going into die final zwei Tage für Group A.
00:48:11 Yeah, and it comes into question, can they keep that up on Stormpoint? Of course, we still have two more maps on Stormpoint, but seeing such a strong start for Trojan also means that you're able to start building up that gap between yourselves and the rest of this lobby very early on. Goes back to what we're mentioning to you about that early game momentum that you want to start rolling through with, especially when Trojan had landed in Koso for Stormpoint.
00:48:34 Yeah, and we talk about basically here when it goes to the center zones, right, where it goes a bit more into the center of the map, that it's not always about priority getting into the center zone spot, but you can see how that still pays off. For teams like 3D Max, for teams like Go Next, they were able to leverage that into a top five finish, but it's not the end all be all when you do have more of a central zone. You can definitely play off the south side or the north side here. It's about really being able to clear out your back, and because you have a more central zone, that kind of pressure is a little.
00:49:03 ein bisschen mehr spreader über das Final-Circle, aber wir sehen uns auch eine große Pile-Up von Teens auf der Norden-Side. Overall Trojans, wie du gesagt gesagt, get 11 Kill-Points in der End, um, mit der Plus-12. Atlas, uh, sie nicht able zu bekommen, wie sie wohlfühlen würde, aber noch ein 2nd-Place-Finisch mit 2-Kills ist. Das ist definitiv nichts zu schicken, um, schicken an. Und 3d-Max in der overall 3d, mit 3d-Place und 2-Kills selbst. So, es sieht sich Trojans
00:49:32 Ja, ich glaube, das ist eine gute Konversion für sie, richtig? Ich meine, Sie kommen von der South Side, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben 5kp und Navi haben 7kp, aber nicht die Placement Points sie haben. Ja, ich glaube, das ist eine gute Konversion für sie, richtig? Ich meine, sie sind von der South Side, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit.
00:50:02 Und sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das, sie wollten das
00:50:18 Very close to securing extra points. But that move alone netted them an extra 4 kill points throughout that. So you can see how these small micro decisions actually do compound over time. And something like that is going to be important for Na'Vi. Especially because they are right now basically on the cusp of the group stages here. They're currently in 8th place with 52 points overall. So continuing to have very consistent performances like this is going to be important for them moving on. Especially for a team that we know them to be.
00:50:47 a little bit better on Stormpoint than on World's Edge. Especially when the stakes are high out here. And that was only game number one. We are just getting started, everybody, because when we come back, we got game number two with more action on Stormpoint waiting for you.
Strategic Importance of Ring Knowledge and Adjustments
00:52:35
00:52:35 Welcome back. It was a short break and one that honestly, Chaperson, could not be overfashed enough because of how exciting Game 1 was with, as you talked about, a really pivotal zone shift pulling everyone out of Cascade. It was fascinating to see how different teams were able to, or sometimes not,
00:53:01 Ja, und wir sehen uns wirklich die Importanz der ersten Ring-Consulten, richtig? Wenn du nicht das Ring-Consulten hast, hast du in die Zone gedacht, dass es um die Zonen geht über die Cascade. Das ist warum wir so viel congestion und Pile-Up haben auf der Seite.
00:53:20 kind of swerved there once they realized that the pole was going a little bit more in between Cascade and the lifts there. And so adjustments were made, but we have to note that the importance of that Ring 3 scan is so big, Navi were able to pick that one up. I believe Full English might have been able to get it as well, along with GG overall.
00:53:41 Let's take a look at some of the final moments of that last game as well, because as much as it came down to macro, just as much came down to what really was team's best decision, especially in Final Circle. Leading up to this, of course, Aurora did pull off that cool Mission Impossible move to pick everyone else back up, and yet moving up the hill ahead of Trojan just cost them a little too much.
00:54:06 Ja, und ich meine, eine Sache ist, wir sehen, wie viele IGLs sind, dass sie sich immer in Sync sind, wie sie jetzt machen. Wenn sie diese Polls sehen, dann sieht man die Bewegungen aus, wie Navi und Passion, versuchen sie zu den Souten, zu den Souten, stattdessen zu den Norden. Es ist sehr interessant, wie die IGL Schock-Calling hat.
00:54:33 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
00:54:55 You know, one of the other things that I find really fascinating about that endgame is how much grenades, or in this case, lack thereof, changed it. Because, say for example, the send of 3D Max onto, not Trojan, but up towards the north, Atlas, was impacted by the fact that Atlas really couldn't put any pressure on anyone else with a lack of ordinances, because so many of those were expended in trying to keep teams off of you.
00:55:22 through the exit from Cascade. A really fascinating turn in what otherwise could have been a different game had people had a few more resources.
00:55:30 Yeah, I think a lot of it was also spent on that south side, right? Because we initially did have that congestion on the north, and then it shipped it to the south. So keeping teams like Na'Vi and Aurora out were super important. I think all the nades were basically expended there. I think when we come from somewhere like NA, where we expect teams like CCE to be able to hoard all that up, that's when we see a lot of nades still being left into the late game overall. But I think right now, with the team starting to pick up a little bit more Watson, maybe we do have a little bit more utility coming in when she starts.
00:55:59 We'll see, we'll see. But I think it was super important here on game number one for teams to basically use all their util at the right times. I think that's exactly what they did. Wasn't as necessary here in that final three, especially for Trojans, because they just have the superior position. The utility is just a little, you know, it's the cherry on top overall. But if you've already got that winning position, you don't need it. Yeah, very much so. And Trojans do a really good job of...
00:56:25 Letting the rest of the lobby sort of put itself in a position based on the ring where they can ultimately find a win. One of the other fascinating interactions that we were looking at early, you talked about how important ring 3 scan was. We didn't see a whole lot of people playing for Command Center that actually had a ring scan until we panned up and saw Atlas and players both interacting around Command Center, forcing them to go different ways. Very different ways, ultimately, of also putting pressure on the north side of Cascade, leaving Atlas as the lone survivor.
00:56:54 You know, one of the nice things, especially here on Stormpoint, is that you do have access to the Tridents. And so you're not taking as much damage when you're going for those ring console scans outside of the zone. I mean, we got to see Navi utilize that extremely well as on the southwest side of the map where they were moving their way on up. And so I think...
00:57:14 Storm Point here does leave a lot more space for teams to be able to play like that. We just didn't quite see that for this zone in particular because it was such an even spread with how central that map was, how central the second and third rings were. So teams felt a little bit more pressure to try and get in earlier on, especially on that Cascade side.
00:57:33 And you've got to imagine, they'll be feeling even more pressure, not just in Match 2, but in the coming weeks, as we are going to be introducing a whole new patch to the ALGS. And while many things will stay familiar, the landscape of Apex Legends, not just competitively, but across all of all the player base, whether you be a casual who wants to maybe hop in for some pubs, or you're really interested in that end ring distribution over here on the competitive side, there's a lot to look forward to in the coming patch.
00:58:03 What are some of your biggest takeaways, Jamerson? Quads! Quads! Quads! Quads! Quads! Dice! That's what I'm excited for, because there was a natural evolution in BRs over time, right? If you've been playing BRs for a while, it started off with bigger squad sizes. You had five mans down to four mans, and then Apex Legends was like three mans, right, on the launch. And we all know at the beginning of Apex Legends how much it hurt. It was ruining friendships. Hey, I'm sorry, I'm playing with this guy.
00:58:32 Und es ist nur Trios. Aber jetzt haben wir Quads als LTM. Es gibt 15 Teams. So es ist das gleiche Amount, aber es ist jetzt weniger Teams. Und jetzt gibt es die Frage, hey, ist es eine Möglichkeit, dass vielleicht Competitiv picken Quads? Oder was kind of interesting compositions können wir mit als Format kommen?
00:59:01 Ja, es ist eine der Dinge, wo ich wirklich nicht sicher, wie viel Leute werden, wenn wir in den Quads kommen, aber ich möchte das Experimentieren, wo du hast eine Kontrolle, du hast eine Recon für die Utilität, und dann kannst du diversify ein bisschen mehr.
00:59:28 Das ist sicherlich, wie gesagt, viel zu experimentieren, vielleicht sogar noch ein paar customen Lobbys. Ich weiß, wir haben noch ein paar Events teased in den letzten Jahren, aber für heute, wir werden jetzt weiterfokus auf was passiert. Und jetzt mit Stormpoint Match Nummer 2 kommen, das ist alles, of course, pre-patch. Aber wir werden jetzt schon zu sehen, besonders EMEA, in ein paar Worte, vorbereiten.
00:59:51 Yeah, I mean, leave it to Cybercats, of course, to try some new things overall, but I do love, of course, to pick up a path. I mean, I still feel like he plays...
01:00:13 Ja, ich habe mich in Apex Legends schon seit Nr. 1, Pathfinder war mein Main, um, um, weil es, uh, excuse me, uh, his grapple allowed me to basically keep up with my teams who were constantly pressing W, um, so I could just grapple on top of them and basically keep, uh, up pace with them, but right now, him finding a space in the competitive meta is fantastic, working as almost a double entry, also giving you the flexibility with the insider knowledge, um, as a skirmisher, to have that, uh, ring console scanned for your team, but also being able
01:00:42 So you're sort of double dipping able to really accelerate your progression throughout a game with that Pathfinder.
01:00:56 It's been really useful for a lot of teams, especially on World's Edge, where you do have a little bit more cover to play and Pathfinder can get you from place to place. We haven't seen nearly as much of it on Stormpoint, and a lot of that has to do with the open space that you have to traverse. Well, Pathfinder is really good for that. It also doesn't provide you any additional safety later on into the game. One of the things that we...
01:01:17 Can touch on here, however, is how much space teams will have to be moving across in order to make it to this zone. We saw Cenote ring yesterday here in EMEA and now we're going to get the chance to see how this plays out once again.
Navigating Cenote Cave and Strategic Rotations
01:01:31
01:01:31 This is another one of those rings where if you're playing Edge, coming out from the northern side might actually not be the worst thing in the world. If there's a chance that this one ends up pulling over to Godrock on the north side of Cenote Cave, just outside of it, well then you'll be able to come in late to try and take that one. And again, if you end up getting in Godrock, that's basically so many free kills as teams filter out from Cenote. But I think everyone kind of knows, maybe we don't need ring 3 here, maybe it's all about priority.
01:02:01 Das ist ein wenig zu sehen. So viele Triterns sind hier zu gehen, sogar für Na'vi. Sie finden sich auf die Purples noch nicht. 135 auf von Matafe, das wird sie in ein bisschen schwieriger zu sein. Aber sie werden sie in dieses Gebäude getrennt.
01:02:27 Das ist die Team Anti-Synergy we'll talk about later. Aurora, click that, post it, post it on Twitter a little bit later. It is interesting though, watching Navi and Blacklist behind them, because we're really identifying what teams have done their homework, not only here in EMEA, but internationally. Looking over at APAC North, in their second day, they actually had a ring that was nearly identical off of the ring scan to this one, and it pulled all the way into this corner of Cenote, where Navi are sitting and Blacklist are next to them.
01:02:57 Ich möchte sehen, ob das sich in diesem Spiel replikates, oder ob wir noch ein bisschen mehr central sind, wo Nessie ist.
01:03:25 Ich glaube, sie haben viele andere Positionen. Das ist nicht etwas, was man braucht. Es ist ein Schwertes Bildung. Ich habe gesehen, es passieren. Teams spielen auf dem Top, Teams spielen in der Mitte, und Teams spielen in der Mitte. Aber es ist so easy zu wählen, besonders zwischen den Teams, den Mittelfloor und den Mittelfloor spielen.
01:03:45 Unnecessary risks in the early game, of course, are going to be passed by. Vex do get to stay alone, but they get to stay alone for now. Other squads will absolutely have more opportunity to sit next to them at a point where Vex can no longer pick fights with nearly as much freedom. Passion UA, rotating through the northwestern side of the ring, will be able to pick up a little bit more Evo on their way as well, and any rotation path that takes you through Mill and the Survey Beacon that it holds this game is going to be incredibly beneficial.
01:04:14 Now, this is one thing I do actually kind of want to ask more of the pro players about, because I do note that on a few teams like Falcons, they prioritize getting purple onto their bloodhound here, but I feel like for...
01:04:27 I've been seeing a lot more focus on making sure your bang has that purple it's been a kind of stylistic difference I would say overall between some of the teams and of course I have to know you know Falcons from North America because of the success that they found is that maybe a difference maker maybe if teams put a little bit more focus on their bloodhound getting purple would that make a difference we'll see blacklist international unfortunately find themselves
01:04:52 Genau, Uzakko. Ich weiß nicht genau, wo der Krate ist, dass das es ist. Die Gonext sind Camping, und ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, dass sie es nicht mehr werden können. Especially jetzt, dass du die Attention von Passion U.A., die wir in von den Norden beurteilen. Blacklist, fortunately, noch haben einen Watson zu arbeiten. JMW sollte auch andere Teams beurteilen, aber wenn jemand sagt, dass sie dich kämpfen...
01:05:18 Es ist wirklich nicht viel zu tun, besonders als ein Duo. Wir waren über die Quads ein bisschen earlier und wie exciting das kann sein, denn nur die Einladung von einem anderen Person macht so eine massive Auswirkung.
01:05:47 und sie vielleicht vielleicht gehen für diesen Kampf.
01:05:51 Now remember Phaser landing next to a lot of squads that used to go deep here, and so I like that they sit back a little bit and get to evaluate their position in this zone and how they want to approach it without just having to fly in and adapt. Something that you do want to avoid, especially in high tier lobbies in Pro League. In Challenger Circuit you can get away with it a little bit sometimes, you land on somebody, you take a fight, but in Pro League it is much too big of a risk, especially if you don't already have a read on who's moved in ahead of you. For our part, we know that
01:06:21 Ahead of Phase lies Passion Uwe, Blacklist, and Na'Vi. Looking over at where we saw CyberCats lose a member earlier, they may still be able to make a recovery, currently tanking Zone, and with Aurora on their tails.
01:06:49 Wow. Take a look at that pull. It is going to go ahead and pull up northwest out of Cenote Cays. So for the teams that thought, hey, it's going to end here for teams like Vex, Forbidden, they're going to have to move now through the south side. There shouldn't be too many buildings for them. So that's going to be a difficult rotate.
01:07:06 Hats off to Blacklist and Navi. We called them out for doing their homework at the beginning. It's clearly worked out for them. Even Blacklist right now, again, as a duo, are able to control a lot of space, keep and go next away from them on this high ground. And if you can hold on to it for long enough, there should be a lot of placement points that come with it, as this zone does appear to be mirroring almost exactly what APAC North gave us in Day 2.
01:07:28 Ja, für Blacklist, obwohl sie eine 2-Mann-Up-Topp ist, ihre Economy ist wirklich gut. Es ist ein 30-30 in den Händen, glaube ich, der Bang Player. So...
01:07:38 Ich glaube, er hat ungefähr 200. Er war 10-4 in terms of Cells. Und du hast, of course, die Backup der Watton Generator, wenn du musst. Aber es sieht aus wie sie waren able, um zu Krafton. Oh, never mind. Hierarcha hat man down. So J&W ist jetzt einfach wieder in den Spiel. Und hier kommt ein Push-Out von Go-Nex. Now Kashera ist jetzt zu bleiben.
01:08:07 Wait!
01:08:23 Oh, es hätte sein, dass es die Clutch des Lebens ist. Aber mit einem Headshot auf dem Hemlock ist das Nasty Slab. Gonext, Inherit das Position. Jetzt haben ein bisschen Height, aber sie verlieren einfach nur schnell, denn, als du gesagt hast, die 3rd Partys kommen, und es ist Passion Uwe, die sind auf dem wie ein Sack of Bricks.
01:08:41 Passion UA just moving into that high ground spot. Now they'll be able to utilize these Watson pylons. No one really clearing those out, but Artie will get some free nodes there to play off of at the very least. I don't know if he's dropped out on pylon himself, but now Passion UA up top. They do have to worry about their back. I believe that phase should still be in the area. And so for now, it's all about biding time. I mean, we're only here at 18 squads for Manny. So that was the first squad to go down.
01:09:10 For those of you that are joining us through Faceit Watch, of course, you'll know if you have the map view up that FaZe are in fact in the area. Jamerson, you called it perfectly. They're sitting just up north near the bridge where they were earlier, overlooking Passion, and now Cybercats who have rotated in alongside this. So FaZe have eyes on Cybercats, Go Next, and Passion, and are absolutely a threat for a third party. But for an entirely different read on this zone, we've got one of our late Edge teams rotating. It isn't Aurora, it's Eternal, who are just making their...
01:09:39 So they can take a little bit of damage from the ring, but they do of course want to move.
Clutch Plays and Strategic Advantages in Final Circles
01:10:09
01:10:09 mit dem Tempo. Es wird Aurora. Sie sind jetzt auf der Seite zu gehen. Sie haben die Abilität zu einfachen, um, nach der Seite zu gehen. Die Frage ist, ob sie die Economy für es sind. So ihr habt zwei Medkits, mit einem vollen Stack von Syringen für Missy. So es sollte genug sein. Sie können Craften auf den Weg gehen. Es sind zwei Trafters da für sie. So, sie sollte okay sein, als diese Schöne nicht zu, äh, von Aurora's Seite aussehen. Und es sieht aus wie Eternau wird, dass sie sich dann auch auf den Weg machen.
01:10:38 Oh, I couldn't help but wonder though, looking at this rotation, whether it would take them into Atlas. And it certainly appears now that both teams that had priority on Zone, Aurora and Atlas, have taken note of Eternal, making this a much more difficult rotation. Fortunately, there's a limited amount of time that you could really be here. Only a minute left until the next Zone closes means that Aurora, Atlas, and Eternal all have to get a move on really soon. Oh boy.
01:11:04 Oh boy, Atlas are, um, it looks like they are gonna go ahead and just full commit onto this evac along with that mother load down. But the problem is they can't even play off of it. They all have to heal. So it's a lot of wasted utility hoping to possibly pick up a kill here. That's an evac tower along with that mother load and they still are, weren't able to actually do any damage to them. So for now they will survive.
01:11:29 I think the important thing here for Atlas is that they cut them off from the crafters, right? So they're not able to get some more medkits. So their time in the zone is starting to run out, but this is a lot expended by Atlas to try and secure 3 KP. Five, hold on, four, three, and that's going to be it. If you're not able to make your way out of the zone, and they are not,
01:11:55 The game is over for Eternal, whether they like it or not. Atlas do get the chance to rotate out ahead of them, but effective gatekeeping is all that it takes. The ring does so much work for Atlas there, and since as you talked about, very little of their poke was actually landing, they just managed to do enough to keep this team off their backs, and now do have to deal with Aurora who are rotating in ahead of them. Two different ways that this can go, of course, Atlas could take a rotate through Cenote, where they're going to encounter the likes of Vex.
01:12:25 Ja, für jetzt, Vex, hier auf der South Side, haben eine große Möglichkeit, um zu holen zu bekommen. Sie können den Weg durch diese Rocken gehen, aber es scheint, dass sie die Lofren gehen und die Lofren gehen, um diese Schmerzen zu machen. Aber Vex, noch...
01:12:40 Weaving their way through the zone right now. It's gonna be Denze to go down. Clemmin falls as well. Babylon's the only one up, but not for long as they will fall. It's gonna be GG to pick up those points here, but GG aren't out of the fire quite yet. Zone to their back now, charging forward. It's gonna be Nessie here on the south side looking for a moment, but Atenam won't be able to take out Cracked. Unfortunately, it's just Graceful up for them. Cracked still bleeding out though, and I don't think anyone really wants to try and punish.
01:13:09 2 scans on Nessie, but that means two teams are overlooking it. Like you're talking about providing some artificial safety. If Nessie have a mobile res, there's even a chance that they could get their third back into the game, though. That seems to be a bit of a long shot for the moment.
01:13:32 Atlas still sharing space up towards the north with Aurora. Both teams very close to each other. In fact, I'm not sure that either really knows what's going on here. Atlas and Aurora are so close that you've got to imagine they're taking an engagement. Boy, players watching their back. It's going to be Fitsu there with the triple take. And I love the evolution of a lot of our players actually picking up the triple take overall. I think especially with the prevalence of energy guns having that extra long range option.
01:14:01 The triple take is so strong and of course you're gonna pick it up if it's golden here, but for Kazak now he's gonna be on the Hemi Havoc and of course no doubt about that two highest played guns in the Overall Pro League now, but it's gonna be the trade-off for the Kraber. This is huge for them who are currently playing off the edge of the zone right now They need to find an opening phase are in such a commanding spot with height with that crossfire that
01:14:27 Kraber could be the opening they need to get into the zone. Here are my Cybercats, though, whipping out the new composition we teased earlier. It's Ash making her way into the ALGS. Whether the rest of this is going to be used, and it sounds like it has been for Cybercats to group up, is really critical. And another Kraber gets picked up, following the trend the rest of the lobby is taking of why use Lot Bullet when few Bullet do Shrik? Alright, Kevin.
01:14:55 As FaZe jetzt bewegt, und ich glaube, sie waren eigentlich able to clean up die Spieler. Und das was wir schon gesagt haben, Kha'Zix braucht das Schraber. Er braucht das Schraber, weil FaZe's Positionierung war einfach so gut für etwas anderes als eine One-Shot zu holen. FaZe, doch, ist jetzt getrennt, als die Ruin ring ist hinter ihnen. Sie sind nicht sicher. Arktik ist viel von der Zone zu holen, jetzt zu holen, um das Gas zu holen.
01:15:22 Of course, that Bangalore ult Nags now dropped down to basically one shot. He will fall. Arctic might be the next one to go down here. As you can see, it's all up to Arctic. He was able to get that bat off, playing off that knockdown shield for the time being and gets the upgrade. What? Someone left the block there for him.
01:15:40 He may have red shields. We'll see how long it lasts. Cybercats, we know, are looking at this. In comes the tether. And Arctic can't move too much further away. Ilanzi goes down. The rest of this on the Havoc could still work as, yes, Cybercats do go down. Arctic playing perfectly around the cover of a care package. Now does have to get the rest of the team back in order before Passion U.A. take too much note of this. But Passion U.A., very distracted with another engagement. That was almost like a...
01:16:10 Oh no!
01:16:20 Sie verlieren auf Artie, aber es sieht man, dass sie ihn wieder zurückkehren werden. Glückwunsch für sie, dass sie noch nicht da sind. Nevermind, Forbidding Gaming ist es vorhanden. 0-0, aber es ist ein 2-V-2. Ich glaube, es ist ein 2-V-1. Finde ich auf Max Dreife, Armorswaffe für 0-0. Aber von der hohen Grund, es wird Sanya kommen in. Kalamitant bleibt für Forbidding Gaming, und sichern sie auf jeden Fall zu einem Top-7.
01:16:43 Das heißt, es ist ein 1v1, Forbidden, looking für eine Rez. Havoc nicht zu Endeffekt auf die Thirst auf Lowground, aber Kolandis kann nicht sehr gut gehen für die Rez, oder. Er ist zu haben, um den Kampf zu gehen. Danisch geht es um, wir sind in den Top 5, als die Ring, um uns alle zusammen. Faze, von der Nordseite, hat komplett auf den Weg genommen, hat Reset.
01:17:06 Und jetzt haben wir ein fairer Bittes Cover zu arbeiten. Sie haben vieles Aufmerksamkeit. Take a look at die Liste von Rocks, die sie aus der größten Threaten haben. Sie haben die Scansinette. Connects zu Takeout Light. Und jetzt haben wir zwei Heavy-Hiters, Gaiman und FaZe, um zu gehen. Und es ist FaZe mit der Advantage auf der Kraberpick.
01:17:25 Huge advantage. No way, really, to fight back effectively for Gaming Gladiators, even with the height as they go down, leaving us with just two squads. It's FaZe with the Kraber versus Na'Vi on the other side. Na'Vi, who predicted this zone from so early on, and FaZe, who had farmed the Edge of Ring. Ten kill points for them with another three on the sightlines here. Cynetic opened up that last fight with the Kraber shut, narrowly missing their giving.
01:17:52 I think one of those players haircuts for now though as they try to go for the peaks you can see the pre fire coming out they know the threat of that Kravend the only way to Basically win in that duel is hope that maybe you connect with a three burst on to that Player that's peaking right now Sinetic is taking his time though. He is right now in the middle of the zone They have Friol that's forcing the wall out from Navi
01:18:19 Das war ein Masterclass von FaZe, in der wie sie rotatieren, in der wie sie das ganze Hecht hat, in der wie sie das ganze Hecht hat, in der wie sie das ganze Hecht hat, von der northern Seite. Man!
01:18:46 We can see why they are such a threat, but we have to note that in this final three, or final four, we're looking at Gaiman, FaZe, and Na'Vi. All those teams, of course, leading the leaderboards overall for their respective groups, so we're not surprised whatsoever, especially seeing as how Stormpoint is basically, you know, some of the stronger maps for them overall, so no surprises there, just the fashion that it was done in. That's what we really need to take a look at.
01:19:14 And let's bring this back to something that you brought up at the very start of the broadcast, Jamerson. The top five conversion rate for FaZe compared to a lot of other squads, extraordinarily low because they're playing for kills. They're not really able to find wins nearly as much. The fact that they were not only able to keep the kills going, but also grab a win here is the perfect shape to be hitting as you approach the end of the season when ultimately match point is going to become so much more impactful.
01:19:42 Yeah, I mean, of course, that is always going to be the question. Can they close out games? And they are showing that they definitely can at that point. Of course, we do have to note, it's kind of off the back of Synetic with amazing Kramer play right there, opening up two fights with it, right? Taking out Matafei off of Na'Vi, but also taking out one of the players from Gaiman, even though I believe it was a two-man.
01:20:04 Synetik ist ein sehr guter Spieler. Ich denke, dass alle schon seit dem Beginn des Spiels gesagt haben. Er ist wahrscheinlich einer der besten Spieler in der Liga jetzt. Und wir sehen es. Und ich möchte sagen, Arktik ist auch, der, was able zu klutze auf die Care Package oder der Budget-Newcastel-Wall. Als, ultimately, das Fight-up gegen Cybercats und der Subsequent Reset, als Passion-UA war komplett enthralled mit einer Fight. Lant Phase...
01:20:30 Get everybody back together, and then make those plays as a three-man squad, tactically with the Kraber. Great use of the Catwall from them as well, and recognition when the Catwall went up from Na'Vi, that one side was much weaker than the other, that surely you had to have Matafe moving up on the Bangalore, and we're able to punish that with the Kraber. It is a 13-kill game for FaZe Clan, taking them to a 25-point win and rocketing them up the leaderboards for Matchday 7.
01:21:00 Yeah, that's going to be incredibly important for them. Really, there isn't too much pressure when you look at teams like FaZe and Gaiman, but the fact that they're still playing basically standard, they're not letting their game plan change at all, right? They're not relaxing and they're not letting down their guard. I think that's a very important thing to note about these top teams right now is that...
01:21:21 Mit all dieser Pressure alleviated, sie sind nicht zu testen, sie spielen Standard und sie sind zufrieden. Das ist ein guter Sinn, wenn wir später auf die Region Finale kommen, wenn wir Match Point kommen in, in die Equation kommen. Und so, ich liebe es, diese consistenheit zu sehen.
01:21:39 We had a couple of teams who maybe didn't make it into the top 10, but teams like Players, Aurora, and Atlas, who despite their lack of appearance in the last surviving squads, still managed to pick up quite a few kills and keep their point totals relatively high to the rest of the lobby and move themselves, hopefully, a little further into the standings with a chance to succeed later. For our squads that succeeded in this particular game, the game in Gladiators, who ultimately were taken down as a duo by FaZe and Na'Vi, still had a lot to contend with.
01:22:09 Especially when it comes to the damage coming out of Sinetic. You called him out, being incredibly clutch and with the Kraber really opening things up for the team. Yeah, a quarter of his 2k damage basically done with the Kraber there at the end. But amazing stat line coming out for them. You can see the individual contributions across the board. I do really, like you had mentioned, want to shout out Arctic. Him surviving was super important. Sinetic wouldn't have that 2k damage line if there weren't for Arctic with that reset. So again, I know that it...
01:22:38 Es ist ein Spiel, aber es ist ein Spiel, und wir sehen uns da, warum es so wichtig ist.
01:23:07 be it in our first couple of games on World's Edge. But we've got, as we said, that final game, Storm Point. We'll be coming to a conclusion right after this break.
01:24:50 is the official chair partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:24:59 Welcome back, everyone. Phase up after an explosive game number two. Jamerson, you were highlighting their rotation, too, to get into exactly how they wanted to contest a very heavily congested northern side of the circle, but rather avoiding all the chaos from what was actually happening inside Cenote, but also called out the best way that they could approach that circle while using the rocks to the right to rotate through all of the teams that were fighting through Cenote. What an amazing play here from Phase, but even better, look at this.
01:25:28 The Catwall, the huge plays that have to be done here from Ardic to stay alive. Forget the turbocharger that was by that care package. You called it Discount Newcastle Wall, right? You got to make do with what you got. And Ardic did exactly that. That play allowed them to not only take the game, but right here, this Kraber shot, opening things up for face and then move in into a 3v2 situation. And we talk a lot about the armor advantage in fights that is in Ardic.
01:25:57 Armored advantage right there. Him still being on purple was the difference maker. If he had that extra 25 HP, maybe he could have survived it. But man, that was insane. And the thing to note that it's scary how good FaZe look when they have Cynetic with that Kraber landing shots. But honestly, they don't need it. That was just the cherry on top for them. Cynetic just made it easier for them to finish that one out. It's a huge fight for them. But I do want to note that these have been two good games for Na'Vi so far here on Stormpoint in the past.
01:26:27 Stormpoint came in on the second half. I had questions of whether or not it was their performance on Worlds Edge that put some more urgency on Na'Vi to perform on Stormpoint, but it looks like it is just a natural advantage they have that they are just good on it overall.
01:26:42 It's great, they're sitting right behind Trojan with 24 total points, while after the explosive game that Trojan had opened up the day with, it's nice to see Na'vi trailing right behind, staying consistent here, where we go into our very last game of Stormpoint before we make that transition onto World's Edge, where we can see if Na'vi can keep that up, Jamerson. Yeah, Na'vi, if they want to have really good momentum going into World's Edge, where they do typically tend to struggle.
01:27:08 A nice, I would say, 10-point game, right? Another top-five finish for them would go hand-in-hand with that. But here we go, heading into game number three, Vicky. Getting all set up here after a nice win from FaZe, 13 KP. I mean, the unfinished player, Synetic, with those crazy Kraber plays really coming through to highlight.
01:27:29 What you mentioned earlier at our top of show, Jamerson, the consistency from a team like FaZe, and they are displaying exactly why they are at the very top of a Miuc here. They are going to be able to loot in Command Center. They do have their P.O.Y., but even better for them, wait until you see where this circle is pulling, because looking a little similar to the action that we may have seen, Jamerson, for game number one.
01:27:51 Yeah, I mean, typically, you know, in EMEA, I would characterize it as teams being able to play off or priority the zone. So when you do get like a shift like that, it's great to see that phase were able to play hard zone. Oh, oh.
01:28:04 Oh, we are going over towards Down Beast. So if we're going to talk about priority, you're looking at Danish, Blacklist, Cybercats, all with the opportunity to basically play off of Down Beast. Blacklist would more than likely want to try and take that north, excuse me, the top of Down Beast. Danish are probably going to swerve in and exist on the inside. Cybercats can coexist with them there. But the question is, is there a chance that this one pulls down to Mill?
01:28:31 Maybe waiting around for Danish over at Mill to try and pick up that ring console once it closes up for them. Could be important. Oh, this is difficult. Oh man, because we've seen a similar circle like this where it ends up pulling to the north side. Well, Eternal are looking up clean up some early KP themselves, being able to not only get the dirty off of Phoenix, but you also saw that Lifen was able to get knocked here too. Eternal capitalizing.
01:28:56 Off of their quick rotate now through Devastated Coast, where Full English are suffering. Maybe not the Full English. Instead, just leaving out a solo while they try to look out for that straggler. Can they find him, though? They know in the direction of where he went. But Serdell is hiding in a crevice, and Tyler is on the hunt.
01:29:14 Yeah, luckily for him, it's not Missy on the other side of this one who could throw down that scan and spot him out. Maybe on the move over towards this Evo Harvester. He spots him, but now no. He won't. There will be an opportunity possibly for Dell to move forward, but he's running out of time. Might have about 20, 30 seconds left on these banners.
01:29:37 Tyler knew that there was an issue. He was looking around, knew that something didn't feel right here. Hopefully we have to take a look at if Full English are able to reset while we take a look at Blacklist instead.
01:29:48 die absoluten haben, sehr ähnlich zu haben, wie wir heute gesehen haben. Wir wissen, dass sie ihre Capabilität ist und mit der Circle-Pooling auf den Downbeest wird, Sie können das zu werden, mit Cyber-Katz sehr schnell auf der Rotate. Wir schauen, dass Passion U.A. auch, die sich auch auf die Seite zu nehmen. Ja, so Blacklist, Cyber-Katz, Danisch, alle spielen das eine sehr standarde, wenn es weitergeht, wenn es weitergeht. Ich bin froh, dass mit der Composition sie haben, dass sie nicht mehr in ein bisschen weitergehen wollen. Sie wollen sie einfach nur kontrollieren.
01:30:17 They're now making the move to scout out the inside of Down Beast to play in and they will go in deeper. This is going to be safe for them overall, especially with the pickup of that Caustic, right? I believe Alonzi was playing Lifeline in game number one. He made the swap in game number two over to that Caustic. Now they have a more comfortable position to play off of this. Playing for that final circle positioning, bunkering down here too.
Team-Bewegungen und Strategien im frühen und mittleren Spiel
01:30:4601:30:46 More teams are going to rotate while Na'Vi are on their side quest, taking care of the Prowler's Nest for right now to charge up those Evo shields. Also looking at the distance, an evac tower has been called in, but you can expect a lot of teams trying to prioritize Ryan to rotate from that south side, simply because Mill does have that ring console here for a lot of these teams to try to exit out of Seedos, Cenote Cave, like Vex. So Na'Vi being on the outskirts here can not only charge up those Evo shields on these Prowlers, but also try to gatekeep other squads from trying to get information.
01:31:15 Ja, Navi wissen, dass sie nicht viel Priorität haben, und so sie können ihre Zeit nehmen. Sie wissen, dass die wirklich wichtigsten Power Positionen in Downbeast werden, bei Dänisch, bei Blacklist, bei Cybergats sind. Und so, sie nicht wirklich brauchen die Probleme hier. Sie können, sie haben viel Zeit, sie sind auf der slowen Seite des Zones, aber sie sind immer weiter. Sie haben Vex vorhanden, aber sie haben Vex vorhanden.
01:31:44 As Matafe takes some shots there from the other side. I think that might have been either Nessie or 3D Max, but they will be relatively safe here. The Hemlock taking a chunk out of Navi. Luckily, they do have enough shield cells and bats to work with here.
01:32:00 Ja.
01:32:27 This south side though, I think we're going to have to definitely keep an eye on because if this continues to pull up north, we are seeing basically the biggest pileup over there for Apex Warlords playing off the edges. Oh my goodness, the cat almost going down there. Will be able to back off, counter scan just to keep them at bay. The full reset hasn't come out quite yet. He still needs to hit that medkit.
01:32:52 We also saw earlier in the feed that Full English finally get taken out. 18 squads left and luckily he is able to pull off the Shield Bat. Looking at Apex Warlords now getting the nade in their direction. Just trying to see if he can get into a different angle. 42 damage here, just trying to cut off their rotate. Also trying to prevent this team from trying to get the Evil Harvester if they haven't been able to wrap behind them in the first place.
01:33:11 Now having to forcefully pop that Phoenix hit. Doesn't look like maybe a med kit is possible here, but they got the Gravity Cannon to instead take priority over that next circle. Yeah, that's just a great disengage. Again, we're talking about teams having to make that decision in the mid-game here and in the early game. If you've already gotten the early KP, do you need to take this 50-50 fight? No, just go ahead and avoid it and get into a better position overall. You can see now it's changing of positions. They're looking to get team themselves.
01:33:38 We now take, once again, a look at that south side of that map, right? Where we've got FG, where we got Forbidden 3D Max, Na'Vi, along with Vex, and it's GG late to the game here coming up from behind. So many.
01:33:54 für sie zu consideren, auf das Rotate, besonders wenn man sieht, wie Atlus, vor allem bei einem Team wie Atlus, vor allem bei ihnen, als es eine Ring-Console in Cascade ist. Aber look at die Amount von Teams co-existing. Nord-Side of Mill, by No Name, closer zu der Respawn Beacon. Wir sahen bereits vorhanden, aber Vex auf der Navi, 3D Max nebenbei, neben ihnen. Gaming Gladiators haben keine Probleme mit der Edge, als sie usual sind. Looking at das Ring-Console, Forbidden-Ur, auf der anderen Seite, auf der Norden Building, über bei Mill.
Potenzielle Spielzüge und Kämpfe um Positionen
01:34:21
01:34:21 There might be an opportunity here where now go next esports because they were a little bit late to the party who They ended up taking the buildings that cyber cats were initially I up with this zone There's a there's a world where it does actually pull over towards go next and for them to be able to play off the Watson composition There could be incredibly strong now. This is the never-ending fight between the warlords and the other squad
01:34:47 It looks like they're in a pretty rough spot. I don't know if you can evac out of this one. And so Apex Warlord now keeping the contained on the inside. They do have the Beast of the Hunt if they want to pop it for the time being. But I think they're looking for a safer opening here. They want to do some more critical damage before they push in.
01:35:04 Turning in the pressure here with the Havoc. We've got an Extended Energy Mag on here, but our catch is in a really good spot behind this rock. Just trying to see if this squad is going to be forced to take the outskirts and take circle damage. And Apex Warlord is going to try to match up with Eternal, trying to gatekeep them. Two of these squads that have now taken their time, not only in trying to contest each other, but wasting the time for a lot of these other squads that have already found a spot into that next circle, being comfortable, and that could gatekeep both these teams once they do make that rotate into that circle.
01:35:32 And Eternal. The lack of information is information in itself. If you don't hit anyone on that scan, you know exactly what their move is. They are mirroring them, looking to hard gatekeep right now. And Apex Warlords are actually given the time to go for the full reset. They're able to hit up the medkits before Apex Warlords make contact. They will go ahead and lurk this play right now.
01:35:53 But it looks like they have actually spotted them out. Huge damage coming up from Tyler here. Cracking one already, forcing down the Mother Lord on top of them as well. Missy has gone down a little bit low, but Tyler will wrap around, excuse me, to try and get on the other side of this wall. There's going to be a hard zone, wrap back the other direction possibly for the Apex Warlords. But you can see now they are kind of kept in place currently. And this is going to be...
01:36:20 Ja, ich...
01:36:45 I like the idea out of Eternal Nier, but they end up losing out on Tyler. They do get the syringes off in time, but you have to imagine that.
01:36:55 They don't really pick up much in the way of heals overall because of that zone wrap that came out from Apex Warlords. So if they have enough heals to actually survive and make it to the next zone, I would be surprised. We'll keep an eye on that for now as we move back on over to the western side of the map. It's Gaming Gladiators right on top of Mill dropping down with that scan. Blast counterscans on the other side. He does get flanked. He's cracked. And now he's going to use that moving speed to get out of dodge. Swap out here as Life pushes in aggressively. It's Calamitous to take him out from Forbidden.
01:37:24 Oh, mein Gott. Und dann G.U. ist zu versuchen, eine Suppress-Flyer zu haben, auch. Blast ist aus der Fight, mit einem Schild-Batt. Und Forbidden kommt auf den Top für frei. In eine 3v1 Situation, mit Gladiatorn zu bleiben. Aber Sie können nur einmal vorstellen, die 3rd-Party ist gerade in der corner. Trojans haben gehört die Schäuze, und jetzt sind die Schäuze, und Blast ist zu kommen. Blast ist zu gehen.
01:37:46 Das wäre ein uncharakteristisches Spiel. Wir expecten ihn wirklich zu sein, in einem 3v3 zu sein. Es war wirklich kein Pressure von einem 3v3 zu haben. Das ist einfach ein Loss für GG. Wir sehen uns, wenn sie zurückkommen sind. Aber ich denke, ich glaube, es gibt einen Weltraum, wo sie das machen können.
Kämpfe und Strategien in der späten Phase des Spiels
01:38:11
01:38:11 We do have the Evac Tower coming up for Vex, but there are so many teams in the area, they're getting melted on that balloon. I don't know if they're able to get away with that. We're gonna have to see because they're absolutely getting melted in 3D Max now as a duo are trying to take control over this fight and easy timing for them to try to take advantage of the KP they can clean up, getting already one knock.
01:38:34 R.E.Q.'s gonna try to set up, maybe with a Gen here, sends out that Thermite. They are able to get the rest for right now, but they have to stop it. Wrapping around, though, taking a split angle is aimbot. He wasn't able to actually get the re-knock there, so they will get the full reset on the other side. 3D Max losing out on the initiative on this fight. Oh, it was so close. They could have actually played this one in the 2v2, but now with the reset, it is basically impossible.
01:38:58 Best thing they can hope for here is really play off the pressure from the zone that's about to close in on them, but they are on the slower side of the zone. There is time for Forbidden to actually recover here. Blast now coming in from behind. He might find an opportunity to pick up these banners, but never mind. Forbidden are going to hang around for as long as they can.
01:39:20 3D Max got that scan onto Blast, and I've never seen Blast run away quicker than ever before, because he dipped, called it an evac tower, and is now not only having to leave those bandits behind, but trying to prioritize his positioning into that next circle, knowing that the circle is now closing in here, making do with what he's got with 3D Max, still playing that out as a duo, trying to gatekeep Navi. Navi were able to get down that evac tower. We'll see how deep they actually make it through here, forbidden.
01:39:49 Looking to Gatekeep again, this southern congestion right now, but looks like most teams have actually just flown right past them and they are completely unaware. So unfortunately for Forbidden, they aren't able to really capitalize off this position and pick up more kill points, but they are at least getting closer to hitting placement point territory. Forbidden approaching right behind Trojan right now, while 3D Max are waiting for them.
01:40:14 Yeah, Aurora need this game. They need it desperately here.
01:40:43 If they can wait out just enough time for Forbidden and Trojan to actually engage upon each other. The unfortunate thing for Aurora here is that Trojan aren't really under that much pressure. They kind of want to wait for Forbidden to actually run into their crossfire and then engage. Now Aurora moving in from behind. They know that Forbidden are pushing forward, giving them a lot of space. But as they turn around in time, they crack Impulse Rugby.
01:41:08 Actually on the front lines here finds the knock on to zero, nothing now Forbidden in a really rough spot. The fact that Aurora though are able to still keep up the pressure here while splitting their attentions onto Trojan 2 Forbidden, trying to keep out of both sides, repositioning, they eventually get taken out here as Aurora now see the opportunity to close in the gap. You see that Bangalore ult has been called in and Trojan splitting around like roaches finding themselves into some cover.
01:41:36 Twelve squads left here, waiting for them on the other sky, south side of Down Piece. It's going to be Gainish to have held the building since the very beginning of the game, and Nessie taking some shots, pinching them inevitably between themselves and Aurora. Aurora, unfortunately, because of the fighting that they've actually been doing here on the eastern side, are low in terms of utility overall. No nades in the hand of Oye. We'll see if maybe Rugby or Nine Impulse have something. But their biggest play was really to try and punish off that Bangalore. The timing was just a little bit late, unfortunately. Maybe if it went down...
01:42:05 2, 3 Sekunden später, sie könnten die Mauten haben, aber ich denke, sie hatten genug Zeit, um das Bangle zu verhindern, um das Bangle zu machen. Jetzt hier auf der Nordseite, der Pulldown zu der Mauten, zu der Mauten der Downbeest ist, um die Mauten zu verhindern, dass die Pryo das Nordseite der Bangle. Cyberkats hier auf dem Lowground, um die Fahrer vorzunehmen. Sie können nicht wirklich viel Platz haben, das...
01:42:28 Typically a Cossack would get you and it's gonna be go next going down though fortunately for cyber cats huge pickup for them We'll see though with this opening if they can continue down the back of that down to beast You can see blacklist unfortunately don't have an angle on them from above will allow them to go for that reset
Entscheidende Momente und Team-Dynamiken im Endspiel
01:42:48
01:42:48 Cybercasts are actually able to heal up. They have the shield swap there too. And the Pathy once again closing in that gap to be able to get that KP that they needed even if they had to risk getting knocked there. Phase is the only one really looking in their direction and they'll be able to play off that fence lift. See a knock player in the distance there. Graceful. Nessie in some trouble. Noises is literally one pixel of health before Nessie eventually get taken out by Trojan. Let's not forget that Trojan were getting pressured by Nessie originally with Aurora to their backs and now they completely turn this
01:43:18 Sie sehen, dass FaZe getötet ist.
01:43:47 As Sineght ends up going in down, they have an excellent first half overall. You take it top 8 with a few kills. We get to take some of these charges off, send those shots, misses the last two, but Uchako showing why this POI that they've been on...
01:44:04 Oh, Cybercat's in a world of trouble right now, getting focused by so many teams. And unfortunately, they lose out on their Pathfinder here.
01:44:33 Es wäre toll, zu haben, die Empower-Energizeden Zip, um die Zip zu verabschieden, in der Late Game zu machen.
01:44:40 But maybe, maybe he crawls into safety. Oh, never mind. All the util going down on the Cybercats right now might have tanked this bang ulti and they will fall. Sonya picking up almost all those kills there. Aurora moving in on this building right now, but they are getting shot from Blacklist up top and Fricks here on the bot. Aurora did such an amazing job of clearing out the south side, but it might go down before they even reach six here. You can see Blacklist International with that high ground position. They tap him to try and bring him back in.
01:45:09 No one really in position to try and punish that.
01:45:13 Actually crazy, with our last six squads left here, Blacklist still are obviously not going to give up this high ground. Instead, they're going to be able to keep pressure onto the teams playing on the building right down below. Trojan, Danish playing on the outskirts, all that southern building, while players uncontested in the northern side of the building, closer to Down Beast. Even better though, eventually, Blacklist are going to have to drop down. They're going to wait it out, but Passion anyway are going to wait for them on the bottom. If Danish split up their attention and focus on Passion, Blacklist could start sneaking their way right down from the high ground.
01:45:43 Ja, es ist irgendwie verrückt, wie diese Final Zone hat sich in den nächsten Quadraten gespielt. Spieler in den Nrw, du hast Passion UA Blacklist in den Nrw und auf den Downbeest auf den Nrw, Danisch auf den Nrw. Und Trojans spielen auf die Wall auf den Nrw. Für Trojans, wenn sie das erste Mal in der Nrw wäre, das wäre toll für sie. Remember, sie starten die 14th der Nrw.
01:46:08 A win here on top of the day could easily propel them into safety range in the top eight.
01:46:17 Great way to start off after ending it off on Stormpoint. And before we make that transition into World's Edge Passion, UA playing off that low ground. See, Blacklist has jumped off from the high ground, utilizing that smoke to get into some extra cover here. And I like the repositioning that we're seeing here from Blacklist. This is all about timing. Just about trying to buy as much time as possible before you use your utility. They don't want to pop that beast of the hunt quite yet. And they will utilize the natural cover here. And actually...
01:46:46 Die MW mit der Difficulty auf geht es um 50% des HP von der Storm. Yuzako hat das Beast in der Hunt. Er ist nicht able zu bekommen, aber noch nicht auf Passion Uwe. Er ist jetzt auf die Lowground. Es wird Hierarcha durch.
01:47:02 Now they find a knock onto one. Wow. I believe that's Trojan getting taken out by that Rolling Thunder. Huge for Blacklist International. Stopping the momentum of Trojans. Players now charging forward. It's Blacklist right on top of Artie. Max Strafing to go down. This is a huge game now. It was a little bit slow coming for Blacklist who were able to get Pryo on top of down Beast. But they are converting this position. Well, charging forward now to finish things off.
01:47:30 Our last three squads right here, and Blacklist are looking to take it all. JMW to be the nail on the claw fin, as Blacklist make a huge play to take the final game onto Stormpoint. Big game here for Blacklist, and not too surprising considering the fact that they land in Down Beast, playing to their strength, and also further highlighting, Jamerson, what you were mentioning earlier when it comes to a lot of these EMEA Stormpoint teams really playing into those POI strengths.
01:47:59 when they have Circle Advantage? Yeah, I mean, I've only been able to take a look at the stats between EMEA and North America. I haven't really been able to watch APAC North and APAC South, but here in EMEA in particular, they are able to convert that priority to zone, especially on the edges. When it goes to the deeper edges of the map, they are...
01:48:17 ...much better at converting that priority, like we saw coming out from Blacklist International. It was definitely a slower game for them overall, but having that Watson composition allows them to play off of Econ. They're not really starving for shield cells, and they are able to conserve in their ammo. And so you got to see there, in the end, really that coming out to play.
01:48:36 Yeah, and the gem that could help prevent other teams from utilizing the Bangalore Rolling Thunder from trying to boot you off the high ground is something that absolutely comes in clutch there. While they do keep up that poke pressure while they're hanging out on the high ground of Down Beast, but specifically those plays that they decided to make at the very end, between what you had mentioned, conserving what they had in store for them, the smoke needs before they dropped down to cover their backs, before now repositioning around the other side of players building, all those micro plays played into a way bigger picture that allowed...
01:49:05 them to get as much KP as possible by the late game.
01:49:08 Yeah, that tempo play, it looked a little bit scary when they went to the back of that building, right? That was already containing a team, but by precious few extra little bit of seconds, right? So you can extend the duration of the Beast of the Hunt so that you can delay that Rolling Thunder a little bit longer until you know that it's going to get value there. It was massive for them, especially for a team coming off of Slide Down on top of Down Beast. You don't see that kind of play coming out often. So that was just mastery of their positioning.
01:49:38 And they were really rewarded for it. Yeah, and what's even great there, too, is I believe before taking a very dominating Game 3, they were sitting in 17th overall. So very dominating here. While we bring back Dia, you know, coming out of this break, being able to see all the action from behind the scenes, Dia. But that is crazy plays from Blacklist when we know they have to perform when they're sitting on the cusp. So that way they could be in the top 20 with an EMEA. It really was. I mean, super impressive. And oh, hello, Zayn. How's it going?
01:50:07 Well, I'm gone now, but I'll be back, and I'll be back with Zayn eventually. Don't worry, it's okay. We're getting everything set up right here right now. While Dia is the voice in all of our ears, I want to hear some more thoughts from Dia about how that last game really played out, because especially, all right, here you go, Dia's back, being able to see how all that action really was able to break down to the very end for a team, again, that really needed Teron having a pretty good performance today like they did yesterday.
01:50:34 Yeah, this is the second game as well, Jamerson, where you've emphasized the economy that Watson brings, whereas last game we saw that econ from a deficit where they were playing down a member, sitting in Cenote and just basically waiting for teams.
01:50:49 Hopefully not to push them and eventually getting pushed. This time they didn't have to deal with any of that. They didn't lose any member by dropping off of the height. All stayed together. And I did really enjoy watching the way that they were able to convert. Especially because dropping off of downed beast. Dropping off the head or the maw as you both called it.
01:51:07 Thank you. It's nice to be here. Thank you the opportunity. I appreciate it.
01:51:38 It has been really nice to watch you play. So now actually getting to talk to you is going to be really beneficial because I've been wondering, we basically saw you take an entire split off of competitive Apex. And yet when we look at your stats today and when we look at your gameplay, you're clutching up your top five in average kills. You are extremely high in like your average damage differential, how much you're dealing versus how much you're taking. And that's after.
01:52:03 Basically taking a split away from comp. So I wanted to ask you how on earth you've managed to keep up the level of play that you had before you left to today, where you are still very competitive for top spots in terms of fraggers in EMEA. Yeah, so I mean, for some of you may know, I took a really long break. So I stopped playing the game completely for eight months and I didn't play controller. I didn't play Apex like at all. So
01:52:33 Ich habe eine Anruhe von Don und ich habe gesagt, ich habe noch nicht gedacht, dass ich wieder nach Apex zurückgekehrt habe und ich habe gesagt, ich könnte es auch noch einmal geben. Ich möchte es noch einmal, ich möchte es noch einmal geben, ich möchte es noch einmal geben, ich möchte es noch einmal geben. Ich weiß nicht, es ist eher eine mentalität.
01:53:01 Es ist mehr so, was in deinem Kopf ist. Ich würde sagen, nachdem ich das Spiel nicht so lange war, es war nicht so lange. Ich glaube, das Level ich war, es war nicht so lange. Obviamente, es war ein bisschen Zeit, aber nur ein paar Wochen. Und ich bin gut, jetzt.
01:53:23 It's really interesting to hear your point of view on what that has done to your mental. Because sometimes you need to take a break so that way when you come back you're very fresh, you're not burnt out. And I guess that goes hand in hand with being able to play alongside your former teammate Nasky now all together. I mean the gang's back together basically at that point. So you're basically able to play into that comfort since Nasky already knew exactly how to trust you but also what you would be looking out for. How has that been now actually playing with Nasky and now repping the Nasky?
01:53:53 NINJAS IN PAJAMAS tag? Es ist so amazing. Um, to be honest, it's like, it's a dream come true. Um, NINJAS IN PAJAMAS is like, like one of our dream orgs and we couldn't be happier to represent them, honestly. Um, also as well, coming back to play with Natsuki as well. Um, he's been putting in a lot of work, as you could see from The Last Land. He was like, I think the
01:54:19 Top 3 Best Performing M&K Player in the whole LAN. His improvement has been amazing and I'm so proud of him. I just wanted to give it another shot with him. That's why. I'm proud of his improvement and I genuinely believe that we can win a LAN.
01:54:42 Ja, ich freue mich sehr, wenn das zu Ende kommt, denn jetzt sind wir sehr gut. Und jetzt sind wir in, ich glaube, die Top 7, Top 8 insgesamt. Ich möchte deine Insight auf die ersten drei Matches des Jahres haben. Wir haben eine Swap. Wir starten auf Stormpoint. Wir schauen uns auf die ersten drei Matches des Jahres. Das eine geht über die Kascade-Ball. Kannst du uns durch das mal, Zane? Ja, so...
01:55:11 Wir haben Trojan, glaube ich. Ja, Trojan. All sie haben zu tun ist, ist das Team zu töten, und sie quasi gewinnen die Spiel für freiwillig. All die Teams auf Cascade-Building haben zu kämpfen, und sie haben einfach 3P und einfach clean-up, das ihnen die freiwillig ist.
01:55:27 Wie oft, wenn du dich in dieser Position findest, dass du die Momentum auswählst? Weil ich glaube, eine Sache für Trojans zu wissen, ist, dass sie wirklich sehr gut spielen. Sie haben nichts zu tun. Ja, sie haben nichts zu tun. Ja, sie haben nichts zu tun. Es war einfach nur Textbuch, wirklich. Sie haben einfach alles zu kämpfen. Sie haben einfach nicht gewusst. Sie haben einfach nicht gewusst, aber sie haben wahrscheinlich gewusst.
01:55:53 Ich meine, das war der Wunsch am Ende. Das war das Wunsch. Aber in Game 2 hier, wir haben zu sehen, was aus FazeClan. Und ich glaube nicht, dass jemand wirklich überrascht ist. Aber es war dieser Moment hier für Arktik, wirklich zu überleben. Kannst du uns überlegen? Was wäre die Cat-Player gewesen wäre, und du hattest das Wall? Ja, ich meine, da waren so viele Teams auf der Seite der Zone. Und sie hatten eine sehr schwierige Walk-In. Ich denke, das war so...
01:56:21 Vielleicht drei oder vier Teams waren auf der Seite der Zone die ganze Zeit. Ich glaube es war Cybercats. Sie kamen auf und wurden in der Seite getötet. Und Arktik hat sich nur für frei geführt. Ich weiß nicht, warum sie nicht die, ehrlich gesagt. Das ist ein Miracle.
01:56:40 Ja, das Spiel ist super, super wichtig. Wenn sie das Team killen, und sie haben einfach einen 3d-Party und einfach einen 3d-Party und einfach einen 1d-Win. Das Textbook ist wirklich gut played.
01:57:09 That drop down, too. I think it was really impressive coming up and them buying time, really delaying that Bangalore ultimate along with the beast of the hunt as long as possible. But of course, because they had Pryo on the ring, they didn't get as much kill points overall. It was just in the endgame there. It's still a 12-point game for them along with the five. Are you surprised by the performances we've had so far here on Stormpoint?
01:57:35 To be honest, I'm surprised because a couple of teams that are supposed to be doing really good are not doing as good as I thought. Which is good for us because, you know, we need a few teams to do better. We're preying on a few downfalls today.
01:57:51 Das ist für sicher.
01:58:21 Das ist nicht mein Hund, aber mein Hund ist mein Hund, und mein Hund ist Max. Er ist ein bisschen jung, ich glaube, 4 Monate alt. Er ist in der Hintergrund, wunderschön, wunderschön, wunderschön. Sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr. Ich request ein Bild. Ich request ein Bild. Es kann sich auf Twitter posten. Wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt, wenn ihr wollt.
01:58:47 Ihr könnt auch Zayn auf Zaynfps. Zayn, es ist toll zu haben, dass du für die Halftime Show bist. Du bist sehr nett zu sprechen, sehr easy zu sprechen. Und gut in den Rest von den Gängen. Final Round Robin. Vielen Dank für mich. Ich freue mich. Ja, bye. See ya.
01:59:08 All right, then. Well, Vicky, Jamerson, it is on with the show. However, I should say that with Match 4 coming up, we've talked about that transition to World's Edge. Now, Jamerson, this is where I want to talk to you a little bit about the POI draft and what you're seeing prioritized specifically when we move on to World's Edge and how that's working out. Yeah, I mean, right now it...
01:59:30 Again, I have to highly characterize EMEA as priority dependent, right? And so when we get those Skyhook zones, when we get the...
01:59:39 Stacks zones, anything on the high edges of the map, that teams that do have that priority rotate into it end up faring better. So if you're looking at, I think, bog standard drafts coming out for them, I'm not surprised whatsoever by what's being prioritized by our EMEA teams. Going for that Skyhook West, I think even across region Skyhook West, one of the highest pick rates overall.
02:00:07 Es ist so wild zu sehen. Und ich meine, es macht Sinn. Skywest, of course, inherits Trials als auch. Es ist eine great Edge POI. Aber, Vicky, wir haben Teams gesehen, haben die Geschwindigkeit von Skywest. Manchmal, wenn man es erst mal nicht mit deinem Play-Style wählt, dann wird es in einem höheren Point Average für Skywest sein, als du sonst hattest.
02:00:26 And it's something that has to do with the amount of teams banking on that Skyhook circle, too, with how frequent we've seen them. But things have been changing up, I feel like, with the way that these circles have been pulling. No surprise that Full English, with their number one seed pick, they were able to actually claim Skywest, but trying to see how they could work that into their overall results, because they definitely need to have that come up that we know that they're capable of. But going hand in hand, we already know the squads have no issue trying to isolate some of the members.
02:00:55 das landen skywesten, vielleicht stragglers, das try to prioritize going into trials in the middle of those rotates.
02:01:02 You know, it's really interesting watching the way that when the Zone does end up pulling away from places like SkyWest, how many other spaces on the map are empty? A lot of times we'll have some teams going towards Epicenter, but very rarely do we get teams that drop over by Fragment or even Dome. Those two end up being left largely unused, despite the fact that South Zones really used to be a thing, Jamerson. Like, we used to be talking about how the Zone's always going south, and yet it was only really true yesterday in EMEA.
02:01:30 Yeah, yesterday was definitely an anomaly because we've been basically seeing...
02:01:36 A lot of the strength of the Poles going over towards Overlook, No Name, and surprisingly enough, Fragment East, or well, I guess just Fragment Now, along with the myriad of Skyhook zones. And so I think we were really treated to what we got yesterday. We got the launch site, the big mod Geyser Choke ending happened as well, and I can't remember the third one, but it was definitely a nice mix-up from what we've been getting throughout the rest of the Pro League Split 2.
02:02:04 Und mit der, vielleicht, shift in Zones, die wir sehen in den nächsten Patchen, oder die Fakt, dass sie re-Adjusten die Probabilität zu werden, durch die Quadranten des Mappen, Vicky, wir vielleicht sogar sehen, dass es das impact, wie die Teams wählen, vielleicht aus dem Platz, die die Zones normally pullen, und mit dem, ideally, mehr balanced approach von den Zonen, zu sagen, all right, well, vielleicht dieses P.O.I. fits our PlayStyle better, so wir werden das Prioritieren über die Zonen über die Zonen.
02:02:33 Yeah, actually, when you talk about teams like that, I think about teams like Aurora who are landing in Thermal Station. They had 16th pick, so obviously they weren't able to get that number one pick that we saw Full English get as they're sitting in 27th. But with the way that Aurora have been playing and rugby popping off, Hardeki shoes, those are pretty big shoes to fill in. And rugby's definitely been able to perform there so far with the Lifeline pick. Now, can it go hand in hand here on World's Edge as they make that transition and rotate through a POL like Thermal? Depending on how these...
02:03:02 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
02:03:13 Looking at the series results, Trojan currently lead the pack after so far today's games. There is still the chance as we keep telling you that all of this will turn on its head and we could see a totally different result by the end of the day. Trojan, who performed 14th in the last time these two groups met, may still fall a little bit further down the leaderboard.
02:03:38 Jamerson, ich werde dir gehen, ich werde dir einen kurzen break, als wir für Nummer 4 vorbereiten werden. Und Vicky, du und ich können darüber sprechen, wie die Standings sind, vielleicht nicht, weil wir heute, in der Nummer 6 sind, wir haben unsere Re-Match-Standings gewonnen, mehr als ein Schnitzel gewonnen.
02:03:58 Es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um,
02:04:19 I highlighted a word before, and I gotta talk about them again, because I believe they had finished in 15th place overall at the end of that day. Already looking a lot better to start off their day here on Stormpoint, seeing if they could try to work that into some of the changes in that circle that we've been seeing thus far. But also specifically, if we could catch some of these stragglers trying to go for the Evil Harvester that we've seen before, or we take a look at the World's Edge Draft. We keep talking about it, Dia, but now it's time to see where all of our teams in this lobby are gonna be landing.
02:04:48 The full English, still with an iconic logo. Gotta give love to that every once in a while. Picking up Sky West is something we've been looking at for a while. Really standing out, however, is Trojan, who we were just talking about, who have gone Siphon as well. This is an uncontested Lava Siphon drop, an extraordinarily powerful POI when we're on World's Edge. Actually big here, too, when it comes to those rotates that you have there. Monument.
02:05:12 Going in right here to Aurora, like we mentioned. Thermal Station Phase landing over by Overlook. Something else that we saw very commonly in the very first half of these end circles for the first split of Pro League here. Even looking all the way back to Black, actually, to see what they could be doing here at Go Next. Landing in Survey going to be going for those quick rotates. Something that we've been seeing very often, of course, considering that Koshira is very quick when it comes to where these circle pools are going to be ending up on.
02:05:38 It's nice to have a central POI, and the nice thing about Survey is that you often inherit Epicenter as well, so you're able to hit up both technical POIs for a greater chance at Beacon. However, in this case, that's not true. 3D Macs have chosen to land over at Epicenter.
02:05:55 which could cause some interesting butting of heads between 3D Max and Go Next. Always a chance, and I dare say the expectation that this will happen, but it will be very Ring Console Survey Beacon Spawn dependent, and so often is that the case for EMEA.
02:06:12 Und was großartig ist, dass wir jetzt die Diversität der Legend-Page sind. Wir werden die Tradition, natürlich, Bloodhound-Vangalore haben, als die Patchdotes haben nicht gemacht. Das wird passieren später. Aber wir sehen die Pathy kommen noch für Cybercats. Wir werden pretend, wie wir nicht sehen, was das letzte Spiel passiert. Pathy war seine eigene Spiel, in dem Fall. Aber Vex ist auch in ihrem Buch, mit Densei auf der Pathy, weil wir wissen, dass Pathy kann die Ring-Consol sehen, als er die Blue Evo-Shields bekommt.
02:06:42 Priority 4 teams that rely on that first perk here.
02:06:46 And as Pathfinder sort of rockets up in priority, we will get our first look at how that plays out in Matchday 7 for our first game on World's Edge. Blacklist International is going to be starting things off in stacks. A very familiar POI to them is even before the POI draft was introduced, this is where they were landing. In this particular case, I really like it because it's going to give them a lot of freedom, early access to zone if they want it. But I'm looking at Dome and thinking, hey, second Survey Beacon, maybe you're rotating to Launch Site.
02:07:15 Das war's für heute.
02:07:25 Big Mod, looking at players, don't have direct access to unless they want to try to go and commit towards the Evil Harvester by that bridge, which I'm not expecting right now. But looking at where the circle is going to be pulling, Diya, you know that Apex Warlords are already getting ahead of the curve, being on the Monument side. But something that they don't have, I believe, is because Cybercats were right on top of that Survey Beacon. Okay, so they do actually have that Ring Console right there. Cybercats were equally able to get that Survey Beacon information, not the Ring Console, but that is something that Apex Warlords are going to capitalize on.
02:07:54 Und du kannst das auch...
02:07:57 So, so difficult.
02:08:26 Watssinn, und das wird auch ein bisschen, aber auch ein paar Teams werden in die Zone gegründet werden, wenn es von Landslide, Countdown, Monument oder sogar Skyhook East.
02:08:38 Yeah, I wouldn't want to be caught in that choke early on in the game. I'm in danger. Even with the Watts in there, like you mentioned, you know so many teams are going to be rotating in this direction here, while players are already feeling the heat from Trojan, who are trying to look out for the rotates out of Big Mod. As they exit out of the north side of Lava Siphon, they already had information, and they also have the Evil Shield advantage. Remember when we were talking about how players didn't have access to that evil harvester? Well, it's because Trojan had gotten there first to prioritize their rotating tonight.
02:09:07 Das von Spielern.
02:09:08 3D Max will be stuck.
02:09:38 ... und smelling die flowers along the way. Maybe, hopefully, getting a few of the ravens that Bloodhound will drop. Because that's going to be your only inkling as to who the biggest threat is to you. Otherwise, Watson fences and Quick Gen are all that you've really got defensively.
02:09:53 Yeah, they had to put themselves in a situation like this with the Evil Harvester being right here, but to deny that from teams like Vex, as you can see by the choke, from trying to claim that Evil Harvester for themselves, Densei though gets destroyed! The 30-30 shots coming in from EQ, gonna be able to find that first knock, and the rest of Vex, they weren't separated, they were gonna trust to see if he was able to get that Evil Harvester just secretly, but 3D Max, they were ready for him.
02:10:20 And immediately jumping up here, 3D Max have given up their position from previously. They are trusting that no one will move in behind them to an early spot, but they're doing this in order to find Thirst, in order to secure some KP, and it's a risk that 3D Max did not need to take.
02:10:37 I do like the attempt on trying to hold a split position in here, so that way they can keep up the pressure, maybe see if they have the opportunity to get the reset, but after that dirty onto Denze, Clemmy shimmyshading his way around the bullets, is gonna have to now back up and see what they really have to work with. They even have the information on where that next circle is pulling, but you can imagine the teams coming in from Skyhook full English like we highlighted earlier. Na'vi, who decided to rotate away from Lava into now Skyhook trailing right behind full English, will make their appearance soon.
02:11:06 And we talked about rotations into 3D Max's position from Sky East. It's already happening, as you say, with Atlas. We saw their Havoc shots forbidden, unfortunately. Don't get to make it even to the zone as they get taken out much too early on. Nessie.
02:11:24 Doing themselves some favors, as they do desperately need the points at this stage of the game. Nessie, again, one of those squads that really needs to climb up the leaderboards. I would say even more so than players. Definitely a team that we know individually these players have the capability here, but have just not really been able to find any cohesive synergy.
02:11:46 Sie können sich sehen, dass sie nicht nur die Bunker hier haben, aber sie sehen, wie Eternal, Spieler, die sie von der South Side, von der Circle gehen, aus dem Lava Siphon, Teams wie Aurora, kommen aus Thermal Station, die sie über die Rappen sind. Sie haben eine Ring-Console Survey-Beacon als auch, um die Art von Harvester zu arbeiten. Aber Sie können sich sehen, dass alle anderen Quadsen, die ihr Zeit haben, jetzt Trojan, still bei Overlook, während Gaming Gladiators haben jetzt gemacht, über die North Side, bei Epi.
02:12:16 Ah, in Eternal.
Strategische Spielzüge und Teamdynamiken im frühen Spiel
02:12:45
02:12:45 They have the height right now here too. As Aurora just call it quits for right now to reposition over on the backside of Harvester, making sure they know the team is within the vicinity to try to third party because that is something that Blacklist International can easily do as they've now tried to prioritize information over on top of Lava Siphon. We know that I believe there was a ring console right there too. So now Aurora forced to backtrack, have to give up the opportunity to try to get the ring console info and now are going to try to see if maybe they can wrap around north side of Lava Siphon instead.
02:13:15 I'm going to go back in this game and look just at Trojan's path. They go all the way from Syphon to Overlook, Overlook, basically halfway back to Syphon, and are going to approach from the south side. This will put Trojan right next to Nessie, but also both squads in the path of Aurora, Blacklist International, and Eternal, as all three of those teams will have to move up the choke and into the monument surrounding area.
02:13:39 It's gonna be hot here, too, after the action that we saw from 3D Maxx holding those two chokes, denying the rotate opportunity from the teams that have to rotate from Skyhook and Countdown. Wondering if Vexx were able to get that reset here, too, because that would have been absolutely huge if they were able to get that res here. Well, 3D Maxx still on blue Evos, but still a good call to deny the Evo Harvester to their backs from other teams, while still putting in the pressure and being the only team, I believe, to be running the crypto in a very heavy Watson team comp lock.
02:14:08 Wir machen das zu test. Wenn ein Watssons in die Zone geht, dann sehen Sie sie in die Zone spielen, die wir eigentlich sind. Aber mit 3D Maxx, sie sind eine andere Weise, vielleicht, zu spielen Apex Legends in EMEA. Wir haben schon gesehen, viele Teams zu geben, die EMEA in den EMEA zu lassen, wo natürlich auch ein Spiel-Winning ist. Aber das ist, dass sie nicht, dass sie das nicht passen, dass sie das passen.
02:14:34 und das sie zu behaupten, das sie zu behaupten, mit den Katzen auf den Boden zu holen. Vielleicht ist es eine mehr Traditionelle approach, und es wird interessant sein. Und ob 3D mechs succeed in diesem Spiel oder nicht ist, wird es sicherlich verändern die Landschaft von wie man die Ring in EMEA spielen.
02:14:51 Man, in der EMP-Gear 2 kommt, wenn man sieht, die Catwalk kommt, wenn man extra Pressure versucht. Wir werden sehen, wie Teams, wie Gaming Gladiator, fighten für den Tunnel Control von Navi. Und look, wer ist für sie auf den Tunnel? Das ist Vex. So, sie werden Gatekept, no matter was. So, Navi ist jetzt forced, um ein Roundabout-Rotation zu machen, um die Circle Pressure zu machen. Das ist zu testen Vex's Game Knowledge.
02:15:18 Real ability to track variables. Since Na'Vi have given up the fight with Game and Gladiators, Vex now have to know that there is a team wrapping around on them. They haven't seen kills go down in the feed just yet, and while they play defense on Game and Gladiators, Vex cannot forget about their backsides.
02:15:37 Und sie waren able zu denzay zurück. Das ist so großartig. Look at die paintingen von Walks & Fences, die hier sind. Es ist ein Schade, wenn 3D-Matches kam in. Aber es wird niemals passieren. Babylons ist able zu bekommen das Krack mit der Charged-Up-Sentinel.
02:15:57 Es ist die E-Vac-Gaming-Gladiator für jetzt. Ich bin nicht der E-Vac-Gaming-Gladiator.
02:16:27 Oh, they could capitalize on this, especially since they had to take a huge chunk out of their own meds trying to traverse through that circle. I mean, it was only round two, so not too bad here. While Vex try to capitalize, they look at the cat wall, which is displayed right in front of them. Babylon's taking a nice off angle, though with the Havoc. No energy magnet, no turbocharger, but a little too overzealous with only Babylon stuck and alive here. Can he pull this off as it clear on the knockdown shield? No way. Sentinel Shine has to connect.
Turbulente Kämpfe und strategische Wendungen in Monument und Skyhook
02:16:55
02:16:55 Ebelons doesn't clutch at Vex. What a catastrophe in the north side of Zone. No way. He was one. That was crazy. The fighting has not stopped. A turtle gets sent right back to the lobby as Na'vi fought their way, not only out of the circle, but from the low ground to get on top of the sniper tower.
02:17:18 Vicky, was ist passiert? Die beiden Teams, Navi und Game & Gladiators, haben beide gewonnen. Und ihr wisst, was das bedeutet, dass sie wieder clashen werden. Game & Gladiators kommen durch dieses Tunnel und kommen nach der anderen Seite und sagen, Na'vi, sind Sie wirklich? Wir müssen Sie mit Ihnen einmal mehr mit Ihnen hier?
02:17:39 Ring around the Rosie on the outskirts of Skyhawk here, apparently, between Gaming Gladiators and Navi. Well, Navi are so fixated on Aurora, as you can see right here. Aurora looking to see and make the decision whether do they want to commit to rotating from the north side of Landside for the next circle? They probably have the information already with the ring beacon being right there. Or do they try to fully try to commit through the tunnel towards Nessie? That's going to be the question here. While 3D Max had predicted where the circle was pulling from the very beginning, Via.
02:18:08 Not to be biased, but I do really like the nasty spot. If you're able to take this away south side...
02:18:15 ...ein der Monument Zone ist wirklich gut. Players versuchen die Nord-Side zu kontrollieren, und es sieht aus wie sie so gut sind. Das ist mit der Hilfe von Atlus, die bei Grandma's Haus ist. Sonya ist dabei zu stellen, und natürlich, Sie haben Go-Next, in zwischen diesen beiden. Keine wirklich zu nehmen, aber jeder squad in den Schaden zu ihren Enemies, und das Destruction.
02:18:40 Das ist mit all den Teams zu exiten, aus Monument hier. Faze, die zu bleiben. Dater ist auf der anderen Seite. Blacklist International, die wir früher hier haben, hat die Evo Shield advantage, aber in der Circle ist. Kann Uchaku machen es? Ja, er kann. Schleimt in Zeit, so we pop this medkit. Hierarcha hat andere Plans. Nice Pressure kommen in hier mit der Havoc. Faze get eliminated on the outskirts of this building. They are sharing some of this space with Blacklist, so we're just looking at them make that rotate.
02:19:08 It's nice that Blacklist were able to clear this up so quickly as well.
02:19:12 Moving in from Staxx, they just don't have a lot of time to adapt. Every time you move into another ring, you're one of the last squads there. BlackBalist International know it, and it means that their fights have to be smooth and efficient, and that means, Vicky, the ults are a real priority for them. Taking a look at the opposite side of ring, however, their Gaiman Gladiators are once again jumping on top of Na'Vi, who have already lost one. Lifeline Rez does help them out, but it should be the Gaiman Gladiators coming out on top of this. Lufka, last swing through with the hemlock.
02:19:42 Schnellock hat es nicht gut gemacht, kann es finden eine Shield Swap, und sie hat ein Backup von ihrer Freundin. Aurora will Fall, als do Na'Vi in der Fight for Sniper Tower.
02:19:53 Oh, and Gaiman Gladiators are still alive here, too. Hanging out on the very top after the action that we saw before was just a matter of time to say hasta la vista to Navi, the last one alive. But it was the fact that the two evac towers coming in, what a mess. But to also get overly aggressive to prevent the Aurora Comp Strat from working with the Lifeline Reds on the Gold Evo. Players in another engagement. Already lost one.
02:20:20 This is not looking good as fit. Has to swing through these white knockdown shields and make a difference. No Havoc, only Hemlock cannot hit the burst and ultimately will fall. The full English take the fight, but with no time left to res, Vaynex has got to head for the hills.
02:20:36 Oh, no, he was running like a chicken with his head cut off. He couldn't even go for the shield while the circle was closing in. He didn't even look like he had any meds there, too. He didn't have a bat. Atlas was also waiting for him right on the outskirts. FreeKP here while Nessia are in the best spot on this circle pool here. Catwall has been called in for the rotate from Atlas as passionately UA steers them down.
02:20:57 Still a lot of space available to play in Monument. A team like Blacklist should be alright. In fact, I would say they don't need to force this fight. And yet they're doing it anyway. With Hiarca now falling though, some other squads have started to pay attention. And Hiarca's full thirst is going to make this even harder for Blacklist. As the zone closes in, this may be their last couple of seconds of gameplay. Blacklist do go down. Danish who swung to finish him off will fall as well. And it's just young Hong Kong left in Monument.
Dominanz der Gaming Gladiators und strategische Positionskämpfe im Endgame
02:21:26
02:21:26 mit sehr wenig Sicherheit, aber fortunately ein Reinforced Door von Beyond the Grave. Er kann gar nicht ein Break, sogar von der WINDOW, in der Distance. Ich glaube, es war Nessie, zu tun, dass die Lone Survivor ist, Dänisch, Cybercats, mit der perfecten Timing auf der 3rd Party. Und look, wer hat Height. Gaming Gladiators haben aus der Choke gelegt, hier zu meeten, neben Passion U.A. auf der Lowground.
02:21:52 And no matter what you're doing, nobody seems to be able to escape Gaiman Gladiators. They have left a trail of bodies like breadcrumbs from Hansel and Gretel. Gaiman Gladiators slew 3D Max, have height on passion. Their one big problem is Nessie, that singular squad that, as you called out, has the next zone, has managed to hold on to a powerful position overlooking Monument. It's Gaiman Gladiators and Nessie that will have to fight for control of the high ground.
02:22:22 Ness, ihr könnt aber auch einen Freak-Shut hier, als die Schuads zu füllen, um sie zu füllen, um sie zu arbeiten, ohne die Natural-Cover zu arbeiten. Das ist, die Trink-Tracks spielen auf die Low-Ground hier. Noises mit den Pings und nur zwei Arrows left in der Bow-Check. See, was er kann hier machen? Lackluster Ammunition. Sie sehen die Fighting. Sie sehen, Dane ist immer noch ein Schatz auf Cyber-Cats, holding auf für Deer Life mit fünf Schuadern. Und Passion U.A. also looking at Cyber-Cats hier, auch.
02:22:48 You gotta use this to finish off one person a singular knock with a bow check headshot.
02:22:54 Das ist genug, um Nessie zu halten. Was interessiert mich, Nessie ist nicht, dass sie nicht aufhören. In fact, sie kommen mit 4 squads leften. Danisch will fall. Nessie play for points, nicht für die win. Kommit zu der Lowground und lose Noises in der Prozess. Jetzt, mit nur zwei Mitglied leften, sie continue zu kommen. Krakt geht in das. Cybercats are going zu fallen. Pashinuier sind auf der Lowground. Aber du wisst das, Vicky. Das bedeutet, die Titans, Gaiman Gladiators sind allein auf der Highground.
02:23:22 Und das wird eine W-W-W hier an diesem Punkt geben. Das ist eine W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W.
02:23:38 There is no more appropriate name for them than the Gladiators, because in these rings, they were finding ways and situations.
02:24:05 Where there was no escape from them. You were really trapped, as Vex were, in a tunnel in the ring with the Game and Gladiators. When they went over to Sniper Tower, everyone was trapped in the Sniper Tower with Game and Gladiators. And when it came to coexisting with them, nobody in the endgame would do it. Nessie gave up their high ground, forfeiting it to GG, knowing that a squad like that, you simply don't fight for the high ground where you can go for KP on the low ground instead.
02:24:33 And that's with them coming out of Climatizer there too. So they were able to make that roundabout rotate while also leveling up their evil shields, prioritizing the evil harvester pathing so that way they could approach into that north side if they have to go through that choke with a better EOS shield. But even working out better for them without them getting gatekept by Vexed in that fight that we saw by the tunnel of Skyhook, they still were able to get more KP once they were able to start rotating and then contest the action that we saw between Aurora and Navi.
02:25:02 Think back on how incredibly close we were to not seeing this game. Because as you talk about the fight with Vex, that came down to whether you hit a sentinel shot or not for maybe 50 flesh health. That...
Analyse der Spielstrategien und des Erfolgs der Gaming Gladiators
02:25:18
02:25:18 is one bullet away from it being a completely different game from Vex emerging from the tunnel instead and involving themselves in the Aurora Navi fight to then contesting 3D Max who held the high ground for a very long time and I want to give credit here 3D Max actually played things very well it is to no fault of their own that they couldn't stop the game in Gladiators
02:25:38 Yeah, it was very difficult there too, especially when a lot of other teams fought onto their line of sight. They wanted to capitalize off of any KP that they could hold, especially with the pressure that they were putting down to so many teams that were trying to fight their way out of Monument. We saw the chaos at the very end. We saw the solo that was Danish that was left behind, young Hong Kong himself, before eventually he was taken out and Cybercats were able to just play off the low ground. Salute all around for the attempt from Danish, but even better to see a nice experience.
02:26:07 von der Gaming Gladiator, mit 12 Kp und der DUB.
02:26:11 What a riveting match. As you say, 24 points after their first game on World's Edge is a huge step up. And Passion U.A. right behind this, I don't want to ignore either. You had actually called out Passion U.A. for their use of Crypto to have an unorthodox composition from a low ground spot, making it to second place. And with 7KP, that's the critical part of it, is a really good look for a roster that has been on a high run recently.
02:26:38 It's also nice to know, by the way, that Game of Gladiators in Game 1, they finished in 6th. Game 2, we saw them get a 3rd place placement, and now being able to take the dub on World's Edge shows how well-rounded this squad is. Now looking at the second page here, all the way down to even Na'Vi, falling down in 13th, all because of that fight that happened to the north side of Landslide, closer to that sniper building.
02:27:01 And I'm going to call out a notable absence from our bottom 10 squads here. Nessie, who had a fantastic game. They have struggled on Stormpoint to really put up numbers. However, now that we've made the transition to World's Edge, they actually play the macro from this zone really well, uncontested by other teams. And as a result, will inch themselves ever closer to top 10. You can actually spot Nessie right now in our overall series of results, sitting in 12th. The game of Gladiators having taken the lead with 42 points.
02:27:29 Huge with the 10 Kp that they're able to accumulate over the course of this series alone. But also nice to highlight their rotate from land side to immediately recognize the situation and where that circle was going to be pulling. And then also clicking the hill on top of those train tracks to deny that rotate opportunity from the other squads that would have to rotate from the harvester side of the choke that would lead into Monumentia.
02:27:49 There were so many odd rotations here as well. We talked about Trojans being one, and again, gonna touch on it. Moving out of Siphon, going to Overlook, everybody has slightly different reads on exactly how they wanna play these games. And now that we're on World's Edge, one of the most studied maps in Competitive Apex, we're really seeing the mad scientists come out all over EMEA. It's been four games of wonder. We've got two more left on World's Edge. But before that, we're gonna hit a quick break.
02:28:36 So the truth of this world, that death finds a way.
02:29:45 This might hurt a bit. Battle Beaver is the official controller partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
02:30:10 Welcome back, everyone. Something about seeing Revenant cosplaying as Conduit has just gotten me feel like it's out of the way here, Jayverson. It's been enjoyable to see the different Legends, as our Legends are going to be swapping each other's roles here, maybe in terms of their skin. But that's something to definitely look forward to here, as we just saw such an explosive game here from Diving Gladiators. The fight for the high ground. Look at the double evac tower just for the jump and time this fight perfectly. Coming up on top between the Na'vi versus Aurora fight. Yeah.
02:30:40 um, um, that entire game, it was all about coming, uh, Gladiators finding the timing, finding the openings, and they were extremely patient with this. They were actually watching this fight for a good 15, 20 seconds before they made their move. They were waiting for that go signal, where they see the trades, and they have the timing to go in. Similar story happened here as they were rotating in from that choke point. Now, I believe 3D Max was holding that northern high ground, uh, against, uh, I forget which squad, but they found that opening again to go for the third party. They were the third party kings here. Nessie.
02:31:09 Deciding to take this swing down onto the low ground was a little bit surprising to me. I feel like they might have wanted to take that opportunity to try and go for that 50-50 up against GG on the other side of this one. But I don't fault them at all whatsoever. This was their biggest scoring game for Nessie. Having that priority coming out from Landslide and taking that western side of Monument along the rocks was a great play for them. Ultimately netting them both 14 points.
02:31:35 Honestly, es kommt auch zu zeigen, dass Nessi die Fortschritte sind, welche Fortschritte sind und welche Fortschritte sind, und welche Fortschritte sind. Und sie wollten für die KP. Als wir jetzt mal schauen, wir sehen uns auf Game 5, Jamerson, wo viele unserer Spots haben jetzt gesehen, wo sie sind, nach den letzten...
02:31:51 Ja, und mehr über Gaming Gladiators. Das erste Mal in R1, die A-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face-Face
02:32:19 Thing is, in round number two, it was extremely close in the top five. I believe they were only about four points off from first place. So there was a world where if they had converted one extra game, Gaming Gladiators would have actually gotten the back-to-back in this group-to-group headoff. Taking a look at our first ring, though, we're getting another northern pull. This time, not going over towards Monument, but more over towards Skyhook and Survey Camp.
02:32:44 Which actually could benefit Gladiators again here because they have a ring console right next door to them. They obviously have that replicator too so that way they could get some quick meds before they start rotating here. But also while noting that 3D mechs or a type of team that immediately starts rotating out of Epi as Epi does have lackluster loot, they could try to capitalize on this and immediately try to get a northern circle positioning where GoNex is currently sitting in.
02:33:09 Yeah, I can't imagine any other team really is able to bully them out of this spot. I don't know if they want to take the early fight up against Go next, but there is a world where they can. Right now, though, it looks like FaZe Clan moving in a little bit early there, up towards that Climatizer side. But speaking of early actions, Xerafer and company have to back off. 3D Max might get cut out here.
02:33:31 Your Max trying to cut them off when it comes to Apex Warlords rotating from Monument already and we know that Cyber Cats lands over by Frag East already with the quick rotate to try to know exactly where the circle may be pulling. I believe there was a ring console in Frag East that they could capitalize off of and 3D Max now seeing where that circle could potentially be moving already making their move to get into their final circle positioning.
02:33:54 Ja, es sieht aus wie die Pings sind zu versuchen, die Train Tracks zu gehen, die mit den Wadsen, die du definitiv wirst. Eine andere Position, die du kannst, ist die Tunnel Exit aus der Train Yard. Aber oh mein Gott, sie werden litet ab, als die Apex-Warlords nicht wollen, auf dieses chase. Vex, ich möchte Spoiler, auf dieses Rotate jetzt, sie sind jetzt in der Tat.
02:34:19 Problem here with these early fights is that everyone's still sitting on white, so it's very easy to go down here. As you can see, Vex will be the beneficiaries of that, taking out one more. Vex, though, backing away into the train tunnels. Might have given up position here. They've got to be careful as they approach this tunnel now, because teams can skyhook. You could have GG coming in. This is very scary, to say the least.
02:34:42 3d max our french or just cannot take a break either i saw go next in the feed also being able to get a knock of their own so only leaving 3d max currently as a solo while the fighting has not stopped apex warlords finally getting out of monument side gear and immediately running right into forbidden by that choke that would lead into grandma's house apex warlords we're actually able to catch out one player of forbidden
02:35:08 Wir haben einen schweren Tag, aber ich wollte noch mehr sehen. Ich hoffe, dass die Spieler von Passion ein bisschen mehr Erfolg mit den swaps wir haben. Aber für Forbidding Gaming ist es möglich, dass sie in der Vault-Tunnel sind. Aber für wie lange? Es sieht aus wie Apex Warlords aussehen.
02:35:28 ... ... ... ... ... ...
02:35:56 Wenn es um diese Fälle zu geben, diese Fälle zu geben, sie sind in ein sehr guter Position, um die KP zu stecken, ohne zu über- und geben, diese Fälle zu geben. Ja, das ist definitiv ein Position, dass du für Zone 4 bist, um Kills zu kommen, weil wir wissen, dass die Rotationen von den Souten sind, das ist, wo alle Fälle sind, in der Leite sind.
02:36:19 Ich denke, für Gaming Gladiators, mit dem 24-point-Games, mit dem 4-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games-Games
02:36:46 Trying to play that safe here while we take a look at Go Next. Definitely are just going to be sitting pretty here. For the next two zones, they already have the information on where that next circle is going to be pulling. As you can see on their minimap here, Faye is also going to try to replicate that on the other side of survey.
02:37:02 Only thing is, Vaze is closer over to that beacon. Don't expect them to be able to get that for free with GoNex being right there and Gaming Gladiators obviously overlooking them from a slight lip of high ground. Or more of these squads with Apex Warlords. They had rotated away from Monument, saw the action happening between themselves and 3D Max, said they did not want to get involved in that, and ended up quickly rotating to get even more loot over from the Skyhook South Side.
02:37:25 I think they were trying to chase after Forbidden Gaming. Remember, they were the two men that played inside the Vault Tunnel, but Forbidden were able to utilize the natural terrain of Skyhook to get deeper in and avoid that fight. I don't think they were able to pick a banner, unfortunately, or go for that rest. Cybercats, though, finding themselves in a small engagement over here at Countdown.
02:37:45 As they back away from this one, it's going to be Passion UA, bullying them back just a little bit. Both these teams now have plenty of time to play off of. They don't really need to force this issue. With that ring console inside of Lava Fissure, you can definitely try and play off of that one. So Passion UA getting the positioning on that will help them out immensely here.
02:38:06 Look at what Aurora's got to work with here too. Taking their time with the evil harvesters out of their thermal station rotate who've been able to already get the info that they need there too. With the lifeline already going to be able to also start prioritizing going through landslide. They'll be right in front of cybercats with passing away slowly trailing behind them. We know that there's a balloon over by Lava Fisher so they can close in that distance quickly after hearing the fighting that is going on between Aurora and cybercats.
02:38:31 So Passionate UA, we're able to take that time to go ahead and pick up that Ring console. They know this one is going up towards that Survey Camp side. Now the question is, will CyberCats allow them to hit the Survey Beacon?
02:38:44 And if they don't, then we'll Passion UA will have a difficult rotate out. You can see Cybercats actually getting very aggressive now, forcing Passion UA down to the eastern side. But taking a better look at the ring on the north side, you can see why Gaming Gladiators wanted to take that respawn, a beacon angle there at the top of the tracks. Faze also playing off the rocks on the north side of...
02:39:06 No strangers whatsoever to this Rotate down to the countdown area.
02:39:34 Almost getting a sense of deja vu out here, because once they start committing to this rotate through Countdown, we already know who's ahead of them after they took an evac tower out of Landslide, and it is Aurora waiting at the mouth of the tunnel. Now, currently, the fighting has not stopped over here by Sky Oak. Well, full English are neighboring Nessie and Apex Warlords looking down here at Forbidden War in front of them without Nessie letting them get this rotate for free. They're going to be able to put in some pressure here. They want this KP. They need this KP for Apex Warlords to catch up here.
02:40:04 In der zweiten Halbzeit haben wir die beste Ergebnisse so far auf Stormpoint hier mit den letzten zwei Spielern. Sie wissen, dass jeder letzte Punkt ist, aber jetzt die Möglichkeit ist, dass sie weg von ihnen sind. Sie sehen, dass viele Teams in Skyhook haben, am Ende zu sehen. Na'Vi, noch immer weiter zu machen.
02:40:24 We know that they were kind of mirroring Cybercats in a way along Passion UA that we're playing off of Lava Fissure here. So they are keeping their wits about them, keeping an eye on their back currently. But for the time being, finding no action whatsoever. Back on board with Cybercats though, over here by the landslide area. They are currently getting mirrored now by Danish, looking to gatekeep them.
02:40:49 Danish was looking to maybe see if they could get any info out of Landslide, but even better, though, for Navi to see if Cybercats is in a pinched position. They could get some free KP here. They're not gonna get gatekept, but you have to look out for it. We're waiting by the choke, exiting out of Countdown through Monument. So Cybercats, see if Ranches could get the setup here on this zip. Look at the shots being taken here, too. From inside of that circle, by the edge, it's gonna be Navi looking at Danish by Landslide.
02:41:17 There we go. Navi finally spot them out. Cybercats were able to move up the western edge basically for free here. But the back shot's from Aurora. And a force kind of behind cover. And that was the biggest opportunity for Navi to really try and punish Cybercats. But because of the intervention of Aurora, looks like Cybercats will be able to get free move through.
02:41:37 Und hier im Nord-East-Side, Epicenter ist jetzt der Center für Aktion jetzt, als Blacklist International versuchen ihre Bestes zu überleben. Yuzako hat das Reset und hat das Bait, als JMW hat das Angle für jetzt. Vorbidden wird dann auf der Nord-East-Side gehen, als es Trojans getrennt. Aber sie haben auch auf den Adnum gewonnen.
02:42:02 They need a reset, and they back away. It's gonna be Blacklist International with a full reset from the inside.
02:42:07 So the fact that this is being a three-way fight with 3D Max trying to get the Rez eventually here too, so that way they don't play that out as a solo. With Blacklist International playing on the inside and Trojan now looking to get the Rez themselves. Scan for scan here as Blacklist fully reset. Now try to swing on and capitalize. Although them being incredibly weak, they were unable to fully heal up. And now Blacklist having to look onto the other side. Havoc from both directions, seeing that the circle is closing in less than 40 seconds. They have to make sure that they don't get gatekept here.
02:42:37 Another team coming in from the back as 3D Max were able to fully recover. Oh man. Position is just changing back and forth between these three teams. Now 3D Max, the team that has the initiative here. They are going for the reset though to get Kizaron back on up. They got the ring to their back fairly shortly here. The Beast in the Hunt is getting popped. Now it's Aurora coming in for the fourth party.
02:43:00 Oh, for the free KP here, too, though. Now, Impulse feels the pressure, but they were so low as Oirei now slides in and is a nail in the coffin for 3D Max. 15 squads left, but talk about timing on that fight presence from Aurora.
02:43:17 Very isolated for them. They understood. They got a beautiful scan onto all the teams here, essentially. And so it was very easy for them to navigate. But now they have to navigate this rotate up north. You can see that Eternal are looking to try and gatekeep them here. But there should be enough coverage for Aurora to get in safely. We'll see in just a moment. Cybercats have basically worked their way back through Skyhook. Now...
02:43:40 They do have someone shooting from behind them. That's going to be the Apex Warlords. Remember Apex Warlords were lingering around in Skyhook to try and finish off Forbidden and now they find themselves in trouble with the ring to their back closing in on them.
02:43:53 We also saw that Nessie had showed presence there too, here before Apex Warlords are now finally able to try to claw their way through that choke. Nessie was quick on the rotate to be on the mouth of the train track cave that we saw guiding Gladiators holding on the north side earlier on. Cybercats still having height, but still also feeling that pressure close to that choke with Navi now approaching in.
02:44:13 Cybercats, Cleanup, Apex, Warlords, Ranches, being on that path, they're really opening things up here for them. And now nobody really in the distance has had to contest them with full English, not really deciding to fully send it.
02:44:24 Oh, it's going to be Nessie at the bottom of this one. The wall has gone down. Na'Vi, though, back away from this fight. Wait out the utility here as that Bangalore Ultimate does go down. Really, they've got plenty of time to work with here, so they don't need to force the issue. They have another minute before the zone starts closing, and I think they heard the fight kind of concluding to their north. So they had to be worried about that third-timing party coming up from CyberCats. Good decision here for Na'Vi. But now as they rotate further and further to the south...
02:44:50 Sie können noch ein bisschen mehr resistieren. Für FaZe, der Fights ist, die Spieler, die vorbeigehen. Die Spieler haben auf Kha'Zach verloren. Sie sind in den Kha'Zach. Nacklecluster ist in von Feitu, als Nags wird das Thirst auf Kha'Zach gewinnen.
02:45:07 Und Gonex versuchen zu griffen sie auch, mit dem noch mehr Schmerzen hier. Sie sind die anderen in der nächsten Cirkel, aber das kann nicht sein, die Spieler zu spielen auf der Edge als Duel. Faze, in diesem Gebäude, nach dem Rotatieren von den Rocks, haben sich in eine Free Space hier, mit der Watton bereits setzend. Trying to contest das. One Player trying to run away from der Line of Sight, aber es wird schwierig, mit Gonex auch zu sehen.
02:45:30 Getting the free utility there. Extra Arc Stars coming in for Cynetic. And they're gonna need this utility. Really, they clear out a lot of the angles once this zone pulls in. Right now, though, for FaZe, they want to get aggressive. Do they want to try and finish off the last two kill points there and then make it an easier rotate in from the north side? For Aurora, though, they're still dealing with Eternal on the other side of this one. Impulse almost went down, luckily.
02:45:54 They're able to get the reset at the very least. Caught in the middle of Smoke. Knuckle Cluster as well, chipping away at them, but looks like OJ will be okay for now. Tyler getting finished off, but you can see that they're still kind of pegging down. They've got the man advantage and tried to charge forwards here with the Bang Ultimate, and OJ is on top of them. We'll finish off one, and there it is. Aurora clearing out this side of the map. They gotta pray that a third party doesn't come their way.
02:46:21 Oh, because they lost it on Rugby. And there's a third party that we were dreading. Jamerson Atlas have now shown their face and trying to pressure out Aurora with the circle closing in right behind them. Luckily for Aurora and Atlas, they're both in that circle. But Atlas wants to capitalize. Look at how low Aurora is, getting a taste of their own menace. And Azunians now slid in, trying to stop the full heel up and the full reset. Aurora get eliminated. Talk about timing now on Atlas' end. As Na'Vi may be looking to see if they can try to wrap around here. They were involved in a fight versus...
02:46:51 Was Atlas gonna be able to come out on top with all the death boxes to their feet? That needed to be a cleaner fight for Aurora. They had the mad advantage there. And losing out on one, especially your lifeline, is not what you want whatsoever. They get punished for it. So now Atlas, they get a free walk in, it looks like, to come in from the southeast side. For FaZe Clan though, they're still over in the rocks.
02:47:14 Over at SurveyCamp, they do have a pretty easy slide down as, I mean, we're already down to five squads, by the way. There's been a lot of fighting here in the mid-game so far, and it's not over quite yet as Atlas are taking a lot of damage there from full English, and it's full English to have priority on the zone.
02:47:32 Playing on the edge. I'll go next. I'll just claim the middle part of where that final zone is going to be pulling towards. Atlas are taking shots at full English. Faze uncontested on the northeast side. Nice teams coming in from Zuni once again. With four squads left, they close in the gap. They send out the bang here too. Still trying to get out of their line of sight, but Zuni is zooming around these rocks.
02:47:53 Oh, I thought Thor might get some help there with that evil upgrade, but now Atlas are just falling to the wayside. It's all up to Zuni here as full English charge forward. He is playing around these knockdown shields of Smoke, creating a little bit of cover at the very least. He's down to about one shot, but he survives! The Havoc finishes off full English. He's not going to have the time for the reset, though, as the zone is closing in on his back now, and he's going to have to leave his teammates. There, you can see, though, he's going to maybe.
02:48:21 Ich weiß nicht, ob wir beide spielen können, aber ich weiß nicht, ob sie können.
02:48:28 Wow, you get a third party, you get a third party. Everybody comes in at the perfect time, and FaZe needed to capitalize on that, because right before we saw the Havok Weapon Swap-Up, he had an R9 with only 30 bullets to his name. Now hailing from the high ground here, looking at what remains of Atlas, Go Next are safe inside a building, and FaZe are playing in a very nice split position, where they're still claiming the other building to prevent Go Next from taking up too much free real estate.
02:48:52 They have free sites, all the exits that Go Next can utilize in this fight. It's a clean 3v3, even armors on either side as well. And for FaZe Clan, they've already started off pretty strong on top of the day here. If they could take out Go Next, it would be huge for them going into game number 6.
02:49:12 We saw the action that FaZe brought on Stormpoint. Can they replicate that again here on World's Edge? GoNex playing inside of this building with the Catalyst. FaZe playing right on top of their heads. It's just the fact that FaZe has so many different angles here. Way better angles to work off of as GoNex is struggling to see what they can do outside this building. They don't really have an option to try and do anything other than tank the Watson pylons there, unfortunately.
02:49:39 Nice wall there to clear that one out at the very least and push forward. But that utility is used up early on. Arctic though on the high ground takes a lot of damage. Will be forced back. And you can see them trying to utilize that timing to retake height. And Nags giving up space as he backs away with that scan. But he's got the Beast of the Hunt pop now. Go next. Trying to split up a little bit here. You can see Kashira still on the high ground. One slap on the right left. Excuse me. And they charge forward. But Kashira takes massive damage. Falls right on top.
02:50:07 und es Nags zu bekommen. Faze Clan jetzt zu Endeffekt. Es wird ein Massive Spiel für sie für sie. Sie haben bereits fünf Kilo. Faze Clan zu bekommen, hier in Spiel Nummer 5. In einer besseren Position als GoNags zu spielen.
02:50:28 Having no energy ammo in the Havoc, he closed it off with the Hemlock to the very end. And FaZe now being the only team of the day so far that has been able to claim two dubs to their name. Huge game here for FaZe now, elevating them in the overall standings.
02:50:43 Yeah, and that's a massive game, especially with the kind of trajectory that we're getting out of game and gaming. Coming swinging in game number four with the 24-point game and FaZe answers right on back. And that's kind of what we expect out of the lobby, or excuse me, the group leaders out of both A and B. That's FaZe and Gaiman, respectively. Wow, and also highlights the consistency between both of these teams. Once again, EMEA really showing off that they could...
02:51:06 Keep going strong between both Stormpoint and World's Edge or vice versa, depending on if the map rotates, still swap up. But FaZe played that so patiently. Let's also not forget that they were right behind Gaming Gladiators on that north side of the map, playing on the outskirts of the rock and not trying to force their positioning inside a building too early until eventually they could deny that space from teams like players that were struggling to find any space in that building. And then timing wise, were able to then come right back in around to the south side of that.
02:51:36 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
02:51:42 Yeah, and importantly, honestly, the position that they had early on, taking the Rocks at Survey Camp, is probably one of the strongest positions when you get a northern pole like that, and FaZe Clan played that one perfectly. You also have to do note, though, that they had a lot more space to work with than you would normally, so finishing up that game was a little bit easier because there was so much aggression taking place in the mid-game. I mean, we had something like 10 teams by Zone 3, Zone 4, so it's not the usual circumstances for that kind of game. I feel like if it went on,
02:52:12 A little bit more conservatively, FaZe might have been able to pick up a few more kill points. But end of the day, they got the dub. That's all that matters. Yeah, got that extra 12 points on top of the KP that you were able to already secure. And with the dub already in their pocket earlier in the day, Jamerson, you can only imagine the gap that they've now been able to build up between themselves and the rest of the lobby where our top five teams have definitely been very kill heavy thus far in the game.
02:52:35 Yeah, it's been amazing. And I think we were right to kind of point out Faze and Gaming early on. You can see there was seven kills overall for them along with that plus 12. Go Next, I believe, had priority on that zone. And they again were able to convert that into a second place finish with kills. So Go Next being nice and proactive throughout all of that. Atlas, a team that we wanted to point out early on, finally showing their heads here on the leaderboard with a third place finish along with that six KP.
Analyse der Spielsituation und Teamleistungen
02:53:05
02:53:05 Huge here, too, for Atlas, because they had rotated very quickly from Geyser just to get onto that north side. Well, we take a look at the second page here. Cybercats, we saw them to the very end, falling down with only 3 KP's in the name, but we saw what happened to a lot of the squads that had to exit out of that tunnel side, closer to that Skyhook choke, that all the teams closer to Survey were able to take some free shots from, especially the teams that were rotating from Epi. Yeah, it's very unfortunate that, you know, this is another opportunity where 3D Max had priority on the zone, and they weren't really...
02:53:34 Ich glaube, es ist nicht möglich, aber ich glaube, in der Gesichter der Opposition, die sie haben, als sie durchgegangen sind, es war sehr schwierig für sie. Aber du kannst sie sehen, wie sie die Spielplanung haben. Aber jetzt sind wir jetzt auf der BOTTOM der Leaderboarden hier. Für das Spiel am Ende, Blacklist International, Forbidden. Wir werden jetzt noch warten für diese Teams, um ein bisschen mehr zu sehen. Es ist einfach, dass sie nicht mehr finden können, so far zu finden, mit den Erinnerungen zu den Rostern.
02:53:59 They have their slight moments where they shine like we saw from Blacklist for Game 3 on Stormpoint. But again, it's just not being able to replicate that on World's Edge. They sit in 11th place with 10 total kills. But then here comes that gap that we're mentioning within our top 5 teams. I mean, even looking at FaZe, between FaZe and Gang, and then the rest of this lobby, what Trojan is right behind them, tied up together with Passion UA. Na'Vi with a 5-point difference, but tied between Na'Vi, Atlus, and Aurora. This last game could be a huge banger here, depending on...
02:54:28 Ja, eine Decision hier oder da, die Nabi-S-Way war, könnte es die Unterschiede für sie in den Top 3. Aber, ehrlich gesagt, dass sie gewinnen und natürlich, dass sie gewinnen sind, und natürlich, dass sie gewinnen sind, dass sie gewinnen sind, auf den Stormplate, in particular, ist es für sie kompetitiven jetzt. Aber, in der Nummer 6, das ist jetzt, das ist jetzt, und jetzt ist es ein zwei-Horst-Race zwischen Faze und Gaiman, aber wir haben das 3rd-Place Team, auch.
02:54:54 Ja, Chilling right behind him here, too. It's been great action thus far, and it's nice to see the teams that really do play to their strengths and manage to stay consistent, no matter what map that we're playing on here currently. We'll have more action for game number six on the other side of this break. You don't want to miss it here with the EMEA action in the LGS.
02:56:45 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, Jammerson. Ja, wir sehen uns, ob jemand kann, die Gämmen und Gladiators haben einen tollen Rund in der A-Versus-B-A-M-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A
Taktische Manöver und Team-Zusammenstöße
02:57:10
02:57:10 We saw Atlas coming in at a perfect time here, while Aurora, they definitely had the control in that previous fight, but took way too much damage that allowed Atlas to clean them up even quicker. And kind of like Revenge here with Atlas coming out from that fight, then counter-rotated around Navi before they inevitably got third-partied by Faze with a nice roundabout rotate that sets them up on the high ground versus Go Next.
02:57:34 And then at the end of the day, this was just a beautiful fight set up for FaZe. GoNext decided to basically contain themselves inside of this building. And unfortunately, there's Watson on the other side that just sets up traps. And you can see Arctic controlling both doors here. And I believe this is where they fall into the trap, take a lot of damage. You get stunned, you get slowed down. And FaZe are just able to play off of this beautiful range of fire there. Again, you saw how well they played off the rocks and then moving into Survey Camp.
02:58:03 Playing off that priority is just fantastic for them. It's been fantastic. And if you guys have been enjoying the action thus far, make sure you guys tune in to Face It Watch, which is the official Multivood streaming platform for the ALGS. Follow up the action with up to 14 point of views on fce.gg slash watch ALGS. You guys can make sure to tune in to your favorite teams and listen to their comms or even lower our comms if you want to actually pay attention to what the teams have to say and the way that they try to rotate here.
02:58:31 Es ist so ein unglaubliches Ressource. Ich meine, es ist einfach, um es zu bereiten für unsere Game Days zu haben. Es ist toll, um all die P.O.V.s, die Map-Views, alles zu machen. Und all you have to do ist, ist zu signieren. Das ist alles. Und es ist alles zu dir. Es ist toll, um auch zu customisieren, um die verschiedenen Audio-Mixern zu haben. Es ist toll, als es hat es, um Faze zu sehen, zwei Spiele zu haben, alleine, mit den zwei Gruppen-Gruppen-Gruppen-Gruppen-Gruppen.
02:59:00 Can they do it again in this final game? Knowing that they land here by Overlook, having the 20th pick in the seed on Worlds Edge. And it's been playing out amazingly with the way that these circles have been pulling away from them. You know, honestly, to be left with Overlook is honestly a great choice. I love it. We've had a lot of pulls, I would say.
02:59:20 Towards the Overlook side, No Name side, so being able to pick this and get that priority is incredibly strong. Even with a northern pull like we got off of Survey Camp Phase, we're able to basically get second, maybe third priority on positions there and played off the rocks extremely well. But now, this is where they're gonna get a little bit tested. We're getting a strong pull over to the northwest side, countdown, and some portions of Skyhook.
02:59:43 This is where I think you can play Hard Edge extremely well. Utilize that Map 3 information, or excuse me, the Ring 3 scan to really know where you need to commit basically for your rotate. Ah, Jamerson, is there a World's Edge Final Circle without giving us a little...
03:00:00 Vielen Dank.
03:00:29 could expect a lot of teams to coexist with the amount of buildings that there are to take cover in yeah i could understand wanting to try and control possibly like the market side of skyhook it's just so odd when you do have of course top trials that you could be taking vex noticing that early on we'll go ahead and take it navi actually give up their position there um and move up but
03:00:51 Going back down to the southeast side of the map right now over at Eggshell. It's gonna be Blacklist International up against players. Players actually just avoiding this fight and we'll rotate away from them. Calling it quits here. Sedge is trying to see. We try to prioritize going over.
03:01:08 To the other side of the Vault Tunnel, avoiding Blacklist. Trojan already had rotated out of Lava Siphon, now already going through Geyser. So the only really team that they could worry about on the south side could be Eternal once they get that Ring Beacon Scan and that Survey Beacon. See the scan actually onto the players. They're gonna now shake a huge U-turn, wrap up behind Blacklist instead, and now Trojan Approach from the Stag side. Maybe they have a Vault Tunnel key here at DC. Yeah, it has to be a Vault Tunnel at this point. There's no way you put that much priority on it.
03:01:37 Oh, we're here now guys. Who brought the key? Oh, phone keys, wallet, phone keys, wallet. You always have to remind yourself before you move out.
03:01:48 Go with the quickness, especially if they're gonna make a roundabout rotate right behind Blacklist, who had scanned them earlier on that Survey Beacon. Now, taking a look at other teams here. Passion UA, still on the outskirts of Lava Fissure. We highlighted the crypto pick earlier on, and that could actually come in clutch for a final circle like this.
03:02:08 3D Max. Remember, they're coming over from the Epicenter's side with the space allowed and afforded for them from Full English. They're actually able to take the bottom trials. You know, this is a position where if Full English had taken top trials, that would have forced who was it before Vex to take bottom trials, and then 3D Max would have had to play something a little bit different here. But with that move, they're able to go all the way back here and play time off of the Watson Gen. And so I think Forbidden are just...
03:02:37 Wir spielen jetzt für Late-Game. Das ist, dass 3D Max hier, auch. Wir können das gleiche Spazieren. Wir können mehr Teams versuchen, mehr Teams zu tun. Wie viele Quads haben jetzt über die Nord-Side genommen. So wir haben Vexed auf der High-Ground. 3D Max sharing die Low-Ground-Trials.
03:03:02 The other spot that we just saw, Forbidden here, Passion Uwe, are not going to be giving up their space, though, by Lava Fisher. They could deny other teams from trying to get the scan on the ring console. That is over by Lava Fisher. Yeah, 3D Max, though, do have a lot more space to play off. You can see they have taken the inside of Trials proper while they have set up.
03:03:21 A small defensive perimeter there on the eastern side. But I think, yeah, definitely play a little bit bigger here. You don't want to just completely coexist. If you have the opportunity, maybe try and force out Forbidden here. But I don't think anyone really wants to take that kind of early fight, especially with the looming threat of the team on top of Trials. They can come in for the third party at any point.
03:03:47 So many opportunities here, while FaZe, our winners from the last game here, have found themselves in between these rocks that we see a lot of teams trying to play for this space. Gonna be able to be cheeky here, the way that they can not only control the space with the Watson fences, but deny the opportunity for so many other teams like Passion, like Nessie, looking at them from Countdown, from trying to wrap around them in this early rotate and trying to sandwich them. Yeah, we could see some classic circles here, especially in between Countdown, Lava Fissure.
03:04:15 We do know that there are a few that can end basically on top of where FaZe Clan are right now on that Raven side. So I like this positioning out of them along with that aggressive positioning out from Arctic to try and keep an eye on the north and south sides here. But along the edges, we are fighting more fights. Aurora versus Eternal once again.
03:04:38 See Eternal with Bambino, having that Purple Evo, sending out that Knuckle Cluster. He's got the Motherload ready to go here. Having that slight high ground, also looking behind to make sure they aren't going to get contested by another team. From players now rotating outside of Harvester, Eternal's just looking at Aurora. Nor are the squads in the vicinity just yet, but also preventing Aurora from trying to get the information that is located in staging with that ring console.
03:05:01 All right here.
Kämpfe um Positionen und Ressourcen
03:05:28
03:05:28 Sie versuchen das Gap an Harvester. Die Beams mit der Havoc, aber sie verlieren an Antonym, mit dem 2 für Trojan. Oh, als sie schnell die Piece of the Hunt haben, sie schnell geteilt. Blacklist kommen aus, aber nicht mehr pressen. Aber auf der anderen Seite der Harvester waren die Spieler, die vielleicht schauen, ob sie sich jetzt auf den Norden kommen.
03:05:53 We'll see if that's going to be enough of an opening for Blacklist now. With that teamfight win to push up and take that ring console, that would be huge for them, especially playing hard edge like this. It doesn't seem like players are going to try and contest that whatsoever. They're just moving their way on up towards that monument side. Taking a look at hard edge teams right now, go next! Remember, I believe they spawned... Excuse me.
03:06:19 They drop at Survey Camp, and they have not left, making their way on over towards Epicenter. They are definitely playing for that Ring 3 information. I love that kind of patience to play out of them. They know that they have a lot of buildings that can more than likely play off of Skyhook if this zone continues pulling north. So really, they're not losing that much tempo overall. So I like that game plan coming out from Go. Next, as Cybercats find themselves in trouble, they've already lost out on their Bloodhound now. It's gaming gladiators, giving chase to them once again.
03:06:48 Ja, die Katwahl ist bereit zu gehen, aber auch noch Team Crash zu zeigen. Gladiators sind in Position, sie versuchen zu Kapitalizei auf die Duel, sie versuchen zu Runaway, aber Blast die G7-Shots, geben sie einen Haare-Cut, während Light nimmt eine ganz off-angle Position, aber ich liebe die Suppress-Fire, die wir noch sehen sind. Elanty ist so low, kann man nicht mehr in die Zeit, um ihn zu holen, bevor er in die Gap ist.
03:07:12 Ja, er ist einfach so weit weg. Er kann nicht so weit weg sein. Sie sehen, wie weit weg er ist, von Blast und Lufka. So, sie haben den Call. Sie haben genug gemacht. Sie haben genug zu pressen. Und sie haben Zeit. So, sie haben Zeit. So, sie brauchen die Probleme hier.
03:07:30 They can keep an eye on the walk-in, see if this building is free, but typically it's not going to be. A lot of teams still kind of piled up over on that Skyhook site. As we pull back, it does seem like there was a team actually playing inside of that countdown building. So, M&M Gladiator is making a right call. They don't leave themselves vulnerable to a third party from Atlas. There has Aurora now playing.
03:07:52 Off of that connecting area between Lava Fissure and Countdown now, are gonna look to play the Gatekeepers here on the southwest side of this ring.
03:08:01 Which is a really good spot to hold here, but I'm more so worried at the fact that since they don't have a control legend, they can't really bunker down in this choke building, where other squads now looking at them, such as Nessie, I don't expect them to give up the high ground that they've held already in countdown, but other teams like Eternal, once that circle starts pulling up and Eternal starts seeing that, maybe having to make the decision if they want to rotate from the south side of Danish, or if they want to try to take that fight versus Aurora, since they aren't going to be able to really bunker down in that building.
03:08:30 It does seem like teams have noted that threat. Eternal, though, they don't have to commit onto this. They've got their options right. They can wrap down and go through the office buildings over at Countdown. Looking at 3D Max, though, looks like they were able to spot out Navi. Henchmen and Matafe going down, kind of the only one left up. But he needs to get over there as quickly as possible. Oh, no, the scan was actually just maybe a little bit short.
03:08:58 Looked close. But yeah, never mind. He's got to give it up. Kind of backing away now. Getting chased down, actually. And that is Navi out in 16th. And that is 3D Max picking up that free KP here, too, with the Hemlock. More than enough for them to now also clean that north side of the circle. Because this circle is pulling directly closer to that Cyber Tower that's on the outskirts of Trials by those bins. And Passion UA are going to be able to hold the other corner, that exit.
03:09:27 It's out of lava fissure. So we know with all the teams that have to come out of Skyhook in that next circle, countdown, the teams that are going to look at where that circle is going to be pulling, that is going to look like an absolute bloodbath. Oh boy. This is going to be...
03:09:41 A battle for FaZe Clan. You can see that they are the ones controlling that choke between Countdown and that open ground outside of Trials here. And with how fast they actually moved into that spot, I don't know if they've got the economy really to keep all these teams at bay. We still have 16 teams alive here. So the pileup is going to be massive when it finally happens. And that's what we're expecting too. In a circle like this, teams would either try to bank on...
03:10:09 Ich glaube, Blacklist sind alle für den SOUTHERN BUILDING in Countdown.
Finale Zusammenstöße und Blacklist Internationals Triumph
03:10:36
03:10:36 A little bit surprised by that early Rolling Thunder coming out. I believe that was from Atlas onto Gaming Gladiators. But with the utilization of that Evac Tower, they do find themselves in a pretty decent spot. It looks like a team though. Oh boy. Gave their lives for this position before. And you can see why. Nice angles coming out. I'm wondering who that was. But now GG, will they be able to recover? They might have an opportunity to try and go for that full reset. Unless Nessie has something to say about it.
03:11:05 I mean, with a Hail Mary evac like that, they saw Nessie was on the high ground, they got scared, played out the low ground right into the lovely line of sight of Aurora. Now still alive though for now, while Danish on the other side of the building in Countdown. They've been able to secure not only this building, but I do believe Blacklist is trying to share some of that space on that low ground right alongside them. Atlas still alive here, still trying to play off that north side, contesting Nessie who are still in that building.
03:11:32 Atlus gibt es viel Platz, als Nessie schießt nach den Gladiators, und Atlus ist able, zu verabschieden, zu retaken High Ground. Hier sind viel Platz, weil das Rotate von GG kamen aus. Bannisch ist es, als Atlus drohts, und Atlus wird nur able, hier kommt die Third Party, jetzt Tri-Hard Thor, und Zuni!
03:11:57 Oh my goodness, Alice had such a beautiful spot to play out of. Now things are left open for Blacklist International coming for the third party.
03:12:06 Das war so free für Blacklist. Die 2 Uncontested waren auf der anderen Seite der Bühne, einfach nach Reset und Cleanup Nessie. 8 Squads left. Und Countdown ist komplett freiged up hier auf der Rotate. Faze, sie sind all die action zu machen. Sie sind nicht mehr involviert. Sie sind fixiert auf ein Team, die sich von Skyhook aus der Rotate von Skyhook macht.
03:12:29 Yeah, I'm surprised at how quickly that congestion on the southeast side actually freed up. FaZe Clan, we're looking down the barrel of possibly 10 teams rotating into them, but now they're able to walk in for free with a lot of their back cleared up. For Aurora, though, taking a push on to Passion UA right now, as they have to deal with so much gas, a lot of utility. They lose out on Rugby, and now it's just all nine. Impulse here, Aurora go down.
03:12:56 Oh, we're finally gonna eliminate after getting pinched. Blacklist now moved in right in front of Passion. The Circle closing in right to their backs with five squads left and no other team to contest them on this west side of the Circle. Lovely angles that we're currently seeing right here now with the Hammock and the Gold Extended Heavy Mag. But missing some of these burstups, you cannot miss like this. But don't worry, Chaku, JMW, they take a different angle. They try to get the suppressed fire here. They took so much pressure. Luckily for Blacklist, though, they have JMW on this lifeline.
03:13:25 And now Blacklist International are basically in Godspot. They've got this deep pocket to play off of, and they have priority on Zone. That big rock right in front of them on the other side of that corner is gonna be massive. It's all really up to FaZe Clan, really, to try and take the initiative and take the tempo away from Blacklist International. But if FaZe Clan stick to this wall, they're gonna get caught up in that fight between Apex, Warlords, and Vex as they try and drop down and push out of Trials. For Blacklist International, it's all about how many kills can we get to finish off this game.
03:13:55 For free for them, dear, too, because they know that no other team is going to contest them with their backs to that circle. Really going to be able to have free reign over not only FaZe, who are going to get inevitably pinched by the teams that have height and the team that's going to be exiting out of trials, but then feeling that pressure if they do not get to those rocks for some extra makeshift cover. FaZe Clan, though, still playing this one a little bit tentatively. I can understand why. Apex Warlords have that sight down. You can see that angle. FaZe would leave themselves vulnerable here.
03:14:22 They're just kind of hoping that Vex maybe do something to throw this one and give a little bit of advantage for FaZe. You can see Naxx keeping an eye on that corner at Blacklist International looking over. Now, really, they don't have to do much for Blacklist International. They don't have to overpeak things. They just need to keep an eye on where the teams are. Movement out now from FaZe Clan to get to the exit of Trials here.
03:14:48 As Apex Warlords are not aware of it quite yet. Blacklist do trade some damage. And they do give away that they have red armors on the other side. But honestly, they already have the godly positioning. And now with that smoke out, Hierarcha will go ahead and increase their arc. He does take some damage and has the back away. That might be an opening for Vex, honestly, to try and push out.
03:15:13 Blacklist calling in another Lifeline Carepack. You can only assume that they have another gold knockdown shield here to work off of. And FaZe playing off this low ground.
03:15:21 Now here comes that.
03:15:49 Crossfire being set up by Blacklist International. JMW far back, of course, playing that anchor for his squad. They've done some damage off their right. You can see how they want to move in for these kills. They really don't need to force the issue here as JMW have a beautiful angle onto them right now. They just need one player to actually keep an eye on Vex. And it's surprising how Ushako now on the high ground is almost playing the anchor for them.
03:16:15 Also in the worst position right now is Apex Warlords with Vex looking at them. Blacklist having them pinched in between little to no cover. Look at all the nades. Arcstar, double nades. Only so many places you can hide behind as Apex Warlords are taken out. Uchaku now sends out all the nades himself.
03:16:34 See if he can juggle them like he's in the circus currently. You see the crack coming in. Huge entry point for Uchako after he pops Beast of the Hunt. Waiting to the very end after they see that they've left one of the teammates from Vex behind. And capitalizing getting that knock on to Denze. Two squads left and Blacklist are on a tear to claim another game under their belt. Look at the amount of KP that they have. This is a game that they need to show not only their consistency. But to put themselves in the top 20 overall standings in the leaderboard.
03:17:03 We are on the verge of another massive game. Blacklist International will finish it all off.
03:17:09 Taking game number 6. And like you had mentioned, they finished off both halves with the win. Taking game number 3 at Downed Beast. And repeating it here on our third rendition of World's Edge. Beautiful play coming out from that. And honestly, it was some great macro decisions coming out from Blacklist International. The way that they were able to navigate around on that countdown side. And find that flank on to Passion UA to win out on that Godspot. Beautiful play coming out from Blacklist International.
03:17:38 Kommitting to going through that rotation point instead of trying to go in the direction that Faze was into was an amazing call. They knew that they had to fight their way for the best position in that next circle that we've seen done many of times, but even better, having a great performance day for Blacklist, very similar to their day yesterday where they finished in third, I believe tying up their score with Alliance and now replicating the same type of success going into today's game.
03:18:04 Ja, JNW haben eine Massive-Game da. Ich liebe es, besonders wenn man die Roster-Swappen mit durch die Spitze. Es kann auch ein schweres Ding sein, aber es sieht gut aus, dass er sehr gut ist für sie. Zwei Wins auf den Tag, aber ich weiß nicht, ob Phase hat genug gemacht, aber sie haben eine ziemlich komforte Lied zu Ende, um in Game 6 zu close things out, um, overall.
03:18:26 Yeah, having the double win for them and now Blacklist joining them in the club. I got to bring Dia back in after an explosive final game right there because Blacklist, every time they have that circle priority, they find themselves with the W like we saw on Storm Point when they were on top of Down Beast. It's funny that we're saying that as well because Blacklist are a team that throughout the first half of the season, that has not been true of. Like you're talking about, when we see them have an amazing...
03:18:55 Wenn wir sie sehen, dass sie in einem guten Platz werden können, es ist so oft, dass sie das Konverte werden können. Und jetzt, das Reputation, die durch Split 1 hat nur jetzt nur jetzt gemacht, mit der Acquisition von JMW. Es scheint, die zwei Dinge sind gut, Jamerson. Ja, und wieder, das war ein tolles Spiel für sie. Das war eine der Harder Ring Pullen, ich würde sagen, overall. All die Stackside und all die Westen zu den Westen, eine der Longest Rotationen, ever. Und, ehrlich gesagt, dass das Congestion war.
03:19:24 We saw forming around Raven, forming around Countdown. They navigated that one extremely well. I'm really excited about the prospects of this team, especially after this weekend's play.
03:19:35 Und es geht zurück, wie ein Team wie Blacklist International ist, um die Southside zu gehen. Wenn sie 2R1C waren, würde sie auch aus der Staxe spielen, oder Lava City, als es sich bekannt war. Blacklist International hat das Spiel mit 26 Punkten für einen Win. Das wird sie gut auf den Leaderboards geholfen, mit Vex folgen sie auf. Ein guter Tag für Vex, als auch, Vicky. Absolut, dass das 2nd-Place-Finit, nach der Nord-Side der Circle Pool ist.
03:20:03 mit 4kp. Apex Warlords, die 9kp haben, die sie zu kämpfen haben, um das Schöne zu kämpfen, um das Schöne zu gehen, um die High-Ground-Trials aufzunehmen. Unfortunately für sie, sie waren in wahrscheinlich die Worste Position. Sie können in eine Final-Circle sein, wie das.
03:20:20 Und es ist wirklich verrückt zu sehen, Vex und Apex Warlords hier in 2nd und 3rd, weil es bis zum Moment nicht ein guter Tag für sie ist, aber sie können 13 und 16 Punkte einschneid haben, mehr als Tripples, beide Punkte aus der letzten Woche, und letztendlich hier in der Mitte der Leaderboards, mit viel weniger Losch als du sonst hätte. Of course, ein bisschen weiter nach unten ist, dass es nicht so glücklich ist, für Teams wie Danish, und surprisingly,
03:20:50 Eimen Gladiators, who I think can rest on their laurels a bit. They've earned a bad game here and there, Jamerson, but this still would have been nice for them to buff themselves further up the leaderboard, maybe contest for a win.
03:21:02 Yeah, typically, you know, for Gaming Gladiators, they're averaging five, eight, five to eight points per game. And so this is definitely a one-off for them. I don't think we take this game as anything as a statement against Gaming Gladiators. It just happens sometimes, right? This was a rough one at the very least. But honestly, I think this is...
03:21:24 Probably the worst performance they've had so far in the A and B matchup, but that's still saying a lot, especially with how consistent they were across all three rounds of play between these two groups. It's funny because this really does harken back to exactly what Chamberson was talking about at the start of the broadcast, is the idea that because these teams can be a little bit more POI-reliant than we see in international play in other regions, you are...
03:21:51 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
03:22:13 Ja, und das ist mit Blacklist zu 2nd place, von 11th zu 2nd place. So das war eine Explosive für sie für sie in den Top 2 zu nehmen. Even looking at Navi mit 19 totalen Kills, sie hat sehr stark gemacht, aber nicht finden sich in den Top 5, nach dem Chaos, die wir gesehen haben, ständig klatschen zwischen Aurora und Navi so viele Mal. Ja, und Importantly... Oh, ja, sorry. Importantly, hier ist das Liste International ist das...
03:22:41 Mit dieser Performance, sie haben sich jetzt eine große Lifeline in der letzten Zeit. Sie waren in 21st place in der overall Leaderboard. Aber diese Performance heute wirklich gibt es ihnen einen Schuss auf die Top 8. Ich bin jetzt auf Aurora und Navi, als wir auf die Beef vor dem Broadcast haben. This time, Aurora. Ich expect zu sehen ein paar Tweets von ihnen mit 41 Punkten. Sie sind eigentlich nicht so weit entfernt von Navi, aber ich nehme eine Symbolik-Viktorie, Vicky.
03:23:10 You know what, though, when it comes to seeing what these teams have to say from the social media managers back where the Twitter beef actually plays out between Navi, Atlas, Aurora, it's always very enjoyable to see how they get to wrap up their day, especially in a day like this where you see Aurora ahead of Navi just by a little bit. You know, 600 points could definitely go a long way here. And then seeing teams like FaZe, though, lead the pack, though, between the rest of EMEA, a rather large gap between themselves and even second place.
03:23:40 Ja, und ich denke, es ist wichtig,
03:24:08 ... ... ... ... ...
03:24:31 Overall standings, how that will impact the larger league. It's also nice to be able to focus down on the moments that made it so special. Let's take a look at the final circles from our last three games, where performance was what it was all about, Vicky. Even starting in Monument, it really came down to execution, especially for Game and Gladiators, who did it again and again. This is my favorite. I love the fact that we keep trying to replay this, because all of the double evac to get involved in the fight as quickly as possible, recognizing that Aurora on the line...
03:25:01 Das war eine sehr interessante Entscheidung, natürlich, von den teamen. Wir haben in der Moment, Jamerson, wie Nessie...
03:25:27 Weil sie zu den Lowground haben, das letztendlich bedeutet, dass sie nicht gewinnen. Es ist absolut ein Play 4 Kp. Sie fühlen sich eher mit der Height-Advantage ist. Ich fühle mich, dass sie das 50-50 haben. Ich verstehe, dass sie das 50-50 haben. Ich verstehe, dass sie das 50-50 haben. Aber ich verstehe, dass sie das 50-50 haben. Ich verstehe, dass es andere Faktoren gibt, wie ihre Einkommen ist, und sie fühlen sich nicht so gut. Aber wenn sie sich nicht so fühlen, dass sie das Ammo haben, auf alle Spieler haben. Sie könnten die Option haben, aber sie haben das Respekt.
03:25:56 At the end of the day here was Aurora though in game number five really cleaning up a lot of that epicenter side But Atlas came down with the full pressure of the world on top of them
03:26:07 Und das war so ein oddes Spiel, denn so vieles war für alle, dass es eine Survey-Camp-Zone war, komplett außerhalb der Survey, in Epicenter, in der Open-Ground-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund-Greund
03:26:31 Yeah, everyone was invited here, and FaZe wanted to make sure that they hosted the next party because they were able to take Kai over GoNext. You saw the beam earlier on from Next. Used up all the ammo that he had in that Havoc to the late game. Hit a quick 162 before then capitalizing off that last member of GoNext. But a great counter-road take from FaZe for that game.
03:26:50 Our final game, of course, had Blacklist International picking up yet another win today. That gives us two teams, both FaZe and Blacklist, that have managed to find their second win, although much too much.
03:27:05 We're getting closer, we're getting closer. It's, you know, two teams just right on the edge there, but I do have to once again come back to this. Blacklist Internationals has just done an amazing job in navigating this game. One thing I do want to know here, it came down to
03:27:35 Vielen Dank.
03:28:03 Nein, das ist nicht der Ort. Die Vex geöffnet haben das für free. Und dann haben wir das für den 2nd Platz geöffnet.
03:28:15 The day now concluded, however, we can take this and look forward into how it impacts the rest of the region. Phaseplan now topped the region, moving up a couple of spots, although it's important to note that they are a matchday ahead of the other contenders, or I should say, contender, as there's really only one squad here that is played for matchday is Alliance Vicky, still in the top four squads.
03:28:40 Yeah, still have another day to play out here, but I'm eyeing Blacklist. Look at the amount of slots that they have moved up from their original position of 21st in the overall standings, now all the way to the top 10. Talk about comeback after figuring out the changes that they needed for this spot to find their success.
03:29:00 This is even more impressive when we think about the fact that it's been two days in a row where they've essentially jumped 10 spots a day because they started at the bottom of EMEA. This does push teams like Ninjas in Pajamas and Aurora down just a little bit. Surprisingly, however, Aurora were one of those teams that were a lot lower in the standings that today managed to leap quite a bit. Funnily enough, Jamerson and I pointed this out at the start of the broadcast, Passion still in that middle section of teams.
03:29:29 Und wir sehen...
03:29:53 Vielen Dank für's Zuschauen!
03:30:22 Jetzt werden wir das in der neuen Meta beobachten. Wir haben noch andere Dinge zu reden, aber jetzt wissen wir, wo die Teams stand sind. Es ist wichtig, dass die Leute, die heute in diesem Spiel gemacht haben. Das ist richtig, wir sprechen über die MVP. Ich bin, fortunately, zu geben das über zu Faze Clan. Wir hatten es zu geben. Es war wirklich ein Thema, wer es geht. Und ich werde ehrlich sagen...
03:30:49 Ich wusste, ich wusste, dass Synetik wirklich gut war. Ich war über Arktik's Anker play heute und auch in dieser Endgame. Remember, die Fays sind nicht hier, wenn nicht für Arktik. Aber mit den Kraber-Shots, Lion as they did, und insbesondere mit den Worlds-Edge-Ferformanzten, die es zu viel, wie Synetik konnte, in dem Spiel und Spiel und Kontrollen, kann man sehen, dass die Unterschiede dieses Spieler macht. Nicht nur Statistisch,
03:31:16 aber in die Positionierung. 4.7k damage over the course of the day, almost 5k, 10 kills, 12 assists, und ich wirklich möchte sagen, dass wir den Senatik die MVP haben, das ist so eine massive Team-Empfeuer. Wir sehen uns alle zusammen zusammen. Und speaking of, wir haben nicht nur unsere Winning Squad, nicht nur unsere MVP, aber auch unsere Interview, die gleiche Person.
03:31:42 Welcome, Synetic, to the Apex Legends Global Series Broadcast. It is nice to have you on with us and congratulations. Thank you.
03:31:52 I'm sure you heard, but being nominated for our MVP just beforehand, it was very exciting to watch you play today. The last time we spoke, it was just before you went to Split One Playoffs as Made in Heaven. You've obviously changed a lot since then, picking up nags from 07, changing names entirely, now you're represented by FaZe. What's been the biggest shift for you since just before Split One Playoffs and now?
03:32:22 Ich denke, die größte Veränderung war die Nags zu unserer Röster, sicherlich. Unsere Kampf-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting-Fighting
03:32:49 We can find the strongest teams in you and we can just play the game the way we want to. I like how you highlight Nags and his contribution here because side by side, you guys were all following up amazingly from one another. Can you highlight how it's been being able to play under FaZe and together with Nags and the rest of the squad, how that's been able to influence not only your trust in your team to help follow up, but the way that that's allowed you to open up as a player too with the POI drafts now in place.
03:33:20 Ich glaube, unser Spiel hat definitiv verändert. Ich dachte mir, dass ich ein guter IGL war. Aber jetzt mit einem guten Team, ich kann wirklich alles machen. Ich kann Pop-Off, ich kann Hardfrag, ich kann Klutch, ich kann all das machen. Es ist wie ich unlocked. All die Chains disappeared. Nags.
03:33:47 Yeah, you mentioned that now you feel a little bit more free. Does that mean that it also affects how free you feel enabled and enabled when you're drafting when it comes to World's Edge and on Stormpoint? What kind of effect has that had on your draft with the addition of nags? Well, draft is like, I don't think drafting changed much. Like drafting is all about how good you are as an IGL. Like you have to know every single POI to be able to draft correctly.
03:34:16 If you go to comfort picks, you will never succeed. You will never win. There is no way. You have to know every POI and be able to play the game flexibly.
03:34:31 So I've been seeing some focus. Not focus, but I think a lot more teams are feeling a little bit more comfortable with Overlook. Were you guys happy with that overall draft pick? What kind of went into the thought process when you guys chose Overlook for this match day?
03:34:50 We had 20th pick, so we could pick in the middle of the pack, like twice in a row. Overlook was the only remaining decent POI, the amount of loot, the amount of what kind of rotates. Overlook was just the medium, and it was the only one left, I think. So we got kind of lucky with that.
03:35:21 I think Overlook is not that great, actually. Especially now that Draft System makes people play Fragment. And people playing Fragment will get the no-name. And that just cuts your loot in half, basically. And just cocks your rotate. It's not that good of a POI anymore, to be honest.
03:35:44 Well, I will say you made it look really good in today's games. And maybe it's a bit of a fluke. Maybe it's just good IGLing. But I am really happy to see you, Synetic, being able to succeed alongside with the rest of the team. We talked about the journey up from Challenger Circuit for you and Arctic, now with Nags. It's just really impressive. So thank you so much for joining us. And again, congratulations on a wonderful performance today. Thank you. It was nice talking to you guys as well.
03:36:14 Well, we can look forward to talking to Cynetic a little bit more in future, because it doesn't look like this performance is going anywhere. Clearly very confident in his IGL-ing abilities. Vicky, it's been a big day for teams all across EMEA, and again, we keep twisting our standings up. Things are changing fast in EMEA, and with only two round-robin days left to go, what are you thinking leaving us after the first day of it?
03:36:38 I can't wait to see what these last two days have in store for us, because with a lot of these teams now shifting in the overall standings, it can then further highlight who the top 20 teams will be left standing to compete in that regional final. So it's definitely been interesting to see these midseason roster swaps, whether it be teams disbanding to go into other rosters, it's definitely shook up a lot of things. And I know the Blacklist fans are rallying together because that was an impressive final game to make a statement, but even better to see teams like FaZe.
03:37:07 Geiman, be able to still stay on top in the top three, no matter the situation. And it is fascinating, Jamerson, watching how teams like Blacklist and FaZe, who pride themselves on their IGL-ing ability and flexibility, are starting to take a little bit more command now that we're moving into the later part of the season in EMEA, maybe changing some of the zone-central ways that the games have been going so far. You think so?
03:37:33 Well, I think one of my biggest takeaways so far, we were wondering especially about the strength of Blacklist International, and we already know how strong EMEA can play off of Priority to Zone, but they were able to prove that they were, like you said, able to play flexibly. They came in hard edge on one of their victories, and they were also able to play Zone on Stormpoint and on World's Edge. So right there alone, it shows that they do have the kind of flexibility to really hang with some of the top rosters, this huge shift going from 21st.
03:38:02 all the way up to, what, something like 10th place overall for Blacklist International is incredibly important. Going into game number six, it leaves them with a little bit more wiggle room to try and hit top eight. So I'm really impressed by that team, and I think they're definitely a squad that we need to keep an eye on moving forward. We should have no problem doing it, since it appears that they're in endgames all the time, but we can look forward to that during the future days of EMEA. Vicky and Jamerson, thank you so much for joining. It's been wonderful listening to YouTubecast, and...
03:38:31 Now we're going to close out the show, so I'll see you later. Alright. Now that it is just you and I, yes you, the audience, let's talk a little bit about what we can look forward to in the next couple of hours because we are not done with Apex for the day, not by a long shot. NA is coming up in just an hour and 35 minutes. We are so, so close, so if you're planning to stay up, let's say you're in...
03:38:55 Und wenn ihr in Nord-Amerika seid, dann willkommen. Das hat sicherlich auch ein spannendes Matchday. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit, und wir sehen uns noch mehr Zeit.
03:39:16 in North America. For even more, you can always follow us on AtPlayApexEsports, on X, on Twitch, and on YouTube, really anywhere. And in the meantime, well, we've got a lot more Apex Legends to look forward to, perhaps seeing a few new compositions and a few new playstyles in North America. I will see you then. Auf Wiedersehen.
