ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Pro League NA - Einführung und heutige Teams
00:04:59
00:04:59 Yeah, it's good I finally get to actually talk about Pathfinder for the first time since Season 1, so maybe I've become a little bit relevant again, which is quite nice, because it's been quite some time. Yeah, amazing to be back, of course. EMEA was once again an amazing show that went right down to the final game, and if North America follows the same pattern, we're going to have another great day of the ALGS here. It was very, very unpredictable in EMEA this morning. Fortunately...
00:05:24 We did have some help getting through all of that. We got the big brain of Gaskin taking us through these games today. I don't know how you're going to feel about the big brain allegations, Gaskin, but I'm bringing you on anyway. I appreciate the gas, which is definitely not true. Very small brain that I have, but I have fantastic people around me and we had a great time in EMEA. But now in North America, this is one of my favorite match weeks because we eliminate three of the biggest teams that...
00:05:48 in a different group so we get to see who can rise to the top when we don't have those big names stealing away all of those points it is funny it's been a point of reflection in north america as to how stacked group a is and now finally free of that burden we can see what group b and c look like to round out the second round robin because that's what this is the conclusion of basically the second
00:06:11 3rd of the season. Group B and Group C are going to be playing today, and after this, every team in North America will have played the same amount of matchdays, so we can really evaluate the standings. Let's say...
00:06:26 A little bit more honestly than we might otherwise be able to knowing how everyone is moving into the third and final round robin that will determine who goes to land and who does not. So the pressure is on for these squads and we're actually fortunate to have a little bit of support from our competitive Apex subreddit in contextualizing exactly how much pressure is on each team. It's been a...
00:06:51 Nice thing to observe recently. We got a lot of statistics there, and if you're curious about any of them, I would encourage you to head on over to the Reddit and participate in the conversation. But for right now, we've got a graphic from the Sander Commander that actually contextualizes all of the teams here, as well as those not playing.
00:07:08 und wie weit sie müssen, um es zu landen zu werden. Gaskin, ich kann mich aber lachen, wenn wir das anschauen, weil es beginnt mit einem ziemlich schrecklichen Satz für Falcons. Sie könnten eigentlich negative gehen, das ist unmöglich, und trotzdem machen es zu landen. Hey, sie sind immer wieder weg, wir können die Punkte wegnehmen, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie
00:07:38 After the series results are determined, 6 points, for example, is if you finish in 14th place on that matchday. So to achieve 6 points per matchday, it is very achievable for LG to do that across the rest of their series. It starts to get a little bit scarier, though, if you then look towards the lower end of the leaderboard and when you start to think about trying to achieve 14, 15, 16 points to try and do that every single match week to catch up with those at the top of the leaderboard.
00:08:07 I do want to highlight before we jump out of these top 10 as well. We've got a quick name change coming in mid-season. Or I should say name change. Org Acquisition. Bleed Esports is the team formerly known.
00:08:18 Das war's, Gaskin.
00:08:48 ... ... ... ...
00:09:10 Yeah, I think one team that certainly stepped up a little bit in the most recent matchday is Team Liquid Alienware.
00:09:27 ... ... ... ...
00:09:46 Aber dann haben sie ein bisschen mehr Form mit 2nd Platz in der letzten Outing. Und das ist etwas, was ich möchte, um Team Liquid Alienware zu diskutieren, ist, wie wichtig dieses Matchday ist für sie. Und das ist, ich fühle mich, dass wenn eine neue Meta läuft, manchmal ein bisschen Zeit, ein paar Wochen, ein paar Wochen zu finden, nicht nur in der Composition, sondern auch in welchen anderen Teams, wie die Composition-Picks sind. Wie die Composition-Picks sind, mit den anderen Teams in der Lobby.
00:10:09 Und mit das zu passieren, und mit den Patch Notes zu passieren, die wir sehen haben, du musst auf sie heute sehen, um eine gute Performance zu machen. Jetzt, nach dem letzten Matchday, hier in Nord-Amerika, sie haben das 2nd-Place gemacht. 2nd, 6th, 8th, 5th und 1st, natürlich ist es magisch zu bekommen, es hilft, es hilft, es gibt nur einen Spiel, wo sie außerhalb der Top 8 waren. Es ist ein wirklich solider Return-to-Form für Liquid Alienware, wo sie sehr, sehr gut sind.
00:10:39 Their social team as well has been having fun with it because they've been having fun in game picking up some good points and their social team actually had a little bit of a banger that went out on socials recently at the cost and the expense of our good friend RKN, so check this out.
00:11:03 Well, from the artist formerly known as LG to the new look LG, it has been a season start to remember for the whole team, but most importantly, their IGL Sweet. I mean, historically, Sweet's teams have struggled to perform at the start of the season, but they have risen from the ashes.
00:11:32 an der Ende der Saison oder der Ende der Saison zu schrape durch und zu wo sie müssen. Now, SWEET und LG haben in guter Form gewonnen, und während Funk und Sykes sind natürlich auch ein Teil Teil der Erfolg zu erreichen. Wir müssen die Kredite zu SWEET für die Calls he's gemacht, von Rotations, Pushen und, natürlich, memorable Solo-Performanzer zu erzeugen, die Wolle Placement Points und Impressive und natürlich Wolle Kills.
00:11:56 für die gesamte squad. Without them, LG wahrscheinlich nicht in die Position, dass sie sich in die Position finden. Sie haben sich in den Platz gefunden, 6th und 4th und 4th. Speaking von Kills, SWE ist jetzt in 6th in den Leaderboarden für die höchste Amount von Kills in Nordamerika, mit einem weniger Spiel in den Falcons roster.
00:12:17 Und er hat sich genburten mit den AVERAGE KILLS per Spiel. So mit dem 4th-HIGHEST AVERAGE DAMAGE in Nordamerika, SWEET weiterentwickelt, dass er eine der besten IGLs in der Welt ist. Und er ist einfach so ein Impressive Player auf der BATTLEFIELD. Und du kannst immer auf ihn rely auf, um es zu machen. Hier, ich denke SWEET weiterentwickelt. Ich denke, dass SWEET weiterentwickelt. Ich denke, dass er weiterentwickelt. Und ich würde nicht so, dass LG weiterentwickelt.
00:12:46 I would anticipate me demand that LG really have a great performance today because they are, of course, going to be a team near the top of the leaderboard, but...
FaceItWatch und Team-Analysen
00:12:58
00:12:58 Like you're saying, it has occasionally been a bit of a separate journey for them. However, if you're curious about how LG is doing, if you want to check in with them throughout the course of today's matches, let me present you to your new best friend, FaceItWatch, where you can, of course, catch all the action in the main broadcast, but also bring up player POVs as well as a map perspective. Called this out during EMEA this morning, but you're going to want to have the map up, especially because we, as a, we'll call it commentating trio, do really...
00:13:27 Das war's für heute.
00:13:45 My spare time has been filled, is all I can say with that, because you know me, I love to go back and watch as many VODs as possible, watch as many POVs as possible, to learn as much about...
00:14:12 was diese Teams versuchen zu machen. Es ist ein sehr guter Ressort, nicht nur wenn ihr ein Competitiv player und ihr seht, wie ihr die Kompetitivs sind, aber auch wenn ihr ein Aspiring Player ist. Also, wenn ihr ein Spieler seid, sehen die Spielpläne, und lernen ein bisschen mehr, was ihr könnt, nicht nur in Rang, sondern wenn ihr ein Spiel habt, wenn ihr ein Spiel habt, und ihr habt eine Probe.
00:14:33 One of the things that I've found really helpful, Gaskin, is that, yes, you can get a lot of information from how teams plan out their rotates, but you get a lot of that nice, juicy attitude towards other squads when they're actually rotating. When they know exactly what they're doing and nobody's really behind them, that's when they start throwing out a little bit of trash talk and you get some more personality in the comms.
00:14:54 I'm all for throwing shade at other teams, a little bit of trash talk here and there, trying to assert dominance in any means around the battlefield, whether it be verbally or physically through the virtual side with your weapons. I do think that both regions that we've had today, North America and EMEA, very competitive. People are very passionate as well. And we do have players who have a bit of an ego. People who like to say, well, this team shouldn't be doing this or why are they...
00:15:19 Vielen Dank, Dier.
00:15:46 We've talked Team Liquid, we've seen Falcons at the top, we've talked LG as well, but it was actually an old name, a team who is synonymous with Victory, that did come out on top. It was, what, how does the name go? Struggling, struggling, what are they called? TSM, that was it. TSM actually managed to take the game day home, and I think it was a very important game day for them as well, right? Because it was a little bit of a confidence builder for a roster that's been through a lot.
00:16:11 Ich denke, heute wird sie kommen in die Games und denken, hey, wir haben sehr gut gemacht. Ja, wir haben es sehr gut gemacht. Es war das letzte Mal. Es war das letzte Mal für die Kürze in und auf Cascade. Das hat sie gewonnen. Aber zu wissen, dass du es in einem Lobby gespielt hast, ist ein tolles Gefühl, und es hat das Gefühl, dass du es wieder zu machen.
00:16:33 Yeah, they did go on into the next week when we started to see the addition of Falcons in SSG, and they didn't necessarily put on as dominant a performance. But again, POI Draft can come down to it, and with the way Falcons have been playing so far, not really anyone can keep up with the impressive nature of their gameplay. But the fact you highlighted TSM did achieve such success the last time they met up in this group means that it is available to do yet again. They can find the same kind of form.
00:17:00 As long as they've drafted well, as long as they are confident with the POI that they've ended up with, then I wouldn't be surprised if TSM are at the top of the leaderboards or somewhere thereabouts. They're definitely going to be in the conversation with the squad that they have in front of them. On the flip side, I mean, the team who really struggled the last time that these two groups went up against each other was Moist. They were down right at the bottom of the leaderboards.
00:17:21 But we have to remember that there's been a little bit of an exchange of players. Timmy is part of that lineup now, and I've got to say that they've looked pretty good in recent tournaments and scrims that I've been watching. So we'll have to see if NotMoist are going to be able to pick up the momentum a little bit towards the back end of this season. And they were one team when we were looking at that average points needed kind of graphic at the start, who needs to put in some heavy lifting. And it's going to start here today on StormPoint for our first three games.
00:17:44 Ja, Stormpoint, rather than World's Edge again, I mentioned it during EMEA, that means during the draft, people might prioritize picking a Stormpoint POI if they like to get ahead of the competition and they have an early pick here so that they can get a good amount of points and then they feel less pressure going into World's Edge. But as we saw in EMEA, some teams did prefer to instead prioritize World's Edge and perhaps a POI that they are more comfortable with and were able to chase the pack because once you know what you need to achieve, you can then play in a very
00:18:13 Some people like to have their backs against the wall and be chasing rather than setting a lead and then hoping that you don't throw it away. It's going to be interesting to see how this game and how this game day plays out in comparison to what we saw previously, right?
00:18:27 You go into Stormpoint, like you say, some teams like the idea of playing Stormpoint in the back end where they can chase down and maybe isolate a few more 3v3s, put a few more bigger kill games on the board. But for now, they're going to have to think about World's Edge and how they're going to have to play maybe a little bit more methodically to get those final points on the board. But here is...
00:18:44 The POI Draft. Dan Gaskin, take us away. This is your Moment of Shine. Yeah, so picks two and three both went with Stormpoint. Pick one did not. Eternal decided to go with SkyWest in World's Edge, which I don't really blame them considering the dominance we've seen from SkyWest and the points that has been achieved, especially if you watched Exo and their performance earlier from SkyWest in Emiya. And then we saw the rest of the lobby kind of fill out. Again, a lot of early picks have been on Stormpoint. That's what?
00:19:12 8 of the top 15 have all gone for Stormpoint. 9 of the top 15, excuse me, have all gone for Stormpoint. So I'm not really surprised that we are seeing teams say, look, let's try and get an early start here, get good POI on Stormpoint, and then we'll look to World's Edge later to just try and scramble those points. Because I do think a lot of people are more comfortable on World's Edge from any POI, just because of the amount that has been played on World's Edge. Whereas sometimes Stormpoint can be a little bit more tricky to try and get yourself through. As we see the final picks coming in here,
00:19:41 So we might see DSG.
00:20:01 Ja, Trident may be selected by Disguised, hoping that no one would take North, but I think that is...
00:20:17 A difficult assumption to make, especially when there are still four teams to pick. And Northpad is going to be better than playing one of the off POIs elsewhere. So it was different in EMEA when we only had 19 teams competing today. So there was that one extra space and Alliance were able to take advantage of that. Disguised are not going to have the same kind of open space to work with. Dev Coast and Echo, I mean, they are not fun. They are not.
00:20:43 kind of a position you want to be playing from unless you start to see the POI pulling that way. And I will say that Furia would probably be the better team if that does come up.
00:20:54 Es ist sicherlich ein bisschen ein bisschen ein battle. Eine der größten Probleme mit den Soutern POIs ist, dass wir vorher schon mal gesehen haben, Devastated Coast und EchoHQ werden von einem Team gespielt haben. Aber jetzt haben wir drei Teams, die alle mehr zufrieden sind, dass das Rotate aus dem Souten ist so, so schwierig. Especially wenn man durch Pylon und Launchpad geht.
00:21:24 Das war's für heute.
00:21:47 Das ist interessant, wie wir heute spielen. Wenn sie etwas mehr zonen-heavy haben, wie wir sie vorhin haben, wie sie auf Stormpoint haben, wo sie ein bisschen Rampart spielen, oder wenn sie etwas in den Spiel-1-Jahren sind, was wir sehen, wie wir die Meta-Composition haben. Es wird interessant sein, wie sie von der Central POI spielen können. Ja, und ich meine Coastal und Devcoast als die difficulten POIs. Of course, ECHO ist einer der besten POIs zu wählen, weil es die Anzahl von ECHO ist, wenn es um die Anzahl von ECHO ist, wenn es um die Anzahl von ECHO ist, wenn es um die Anzahl von ECHO ist, wenn es um die Anzahl von ECHO ist, wenn es um die Anzahl von ECHO ist.
00:22:17 von dem, aber als du auch schon erwähnt, der Rotation aus dem, wird es ein bisschen mehr schwierig, weil von TSM und Van taking die zwei POIs. Ich denke, die Augen werden auf Flat und Oblivion auf Mill und Seto Station. Sie haben zwei von den meisten desirativen POIs in der Draft, wenn nicht die meisten desirativen POIs in der Draft. Launchpad ist dann dann in der 3rd. Wir werden sehen, ob wir sehen, ob wir wirklich etwas erreichen können hier.
Strategie und Teamdynamik in der ALGS
00:22:43
00:22:43 One thing that we should just highlight to everyone, we're just waiting for one more player to connect to the lobby before we can get the games underway. We're not just giving, you know, the world's most in-depth talk through of the POI draft and the drop spots. We're just trying to wait for that player to get connected before we can get into game number one. But Dan, I mean, I want to kind of highlight some of the things that you were talking about, right? And how, you know, you talked about Sweet, you talked about LG and how they've put in some very, I would say, consistent performances, but it never feels like they're right in there at the mix at the end.
00:23:10 I feel like without Sweet making some of those solo plays this season, the LG season could look a little bit different. It maybe looks like a previous one. And it's some buts, right? And obviously, improvements are made week on week by week. But I think this is a really important one for them, just to kind of solidify not only their position, but their ability to win games in the endgame, which is something I need to see a little bit more of, just to make me believe that when you are seeing the likes of Falcons, SSG rejoin these lobbies, that they're going to have the firepower and the decision-making to close these games out.
00:23:36 Yeah, it's all well and good us talking about consistency and being impressed at teams with the POI draft, finding consistency from several different POIs. But when we get down to crunch time and when LAN comes around and match point becomes part of the equation, those teams that aren't consistently getting to the endgame and finding those victories are suddenly going to fall off and quite quickly find themselves falling behind those who...
00:23:57 Vielen Dank.
00:24:26 confidence a little bit
00:24:28 It's the strive for perfection, right? It's so difficult to achieve. You're doing incredibly well, but you always know that there's one step more you need to go to overcome some of the super teams that we do see performing so well at the moment in North America. In the meantime, we talk about North America, but we have a little bit of community content here for you as well. And we have some global rankings for some of our teams at the moment, which is coming in. So you can take a look at this. And wow, this is a bright graphic, Dan. No surprise, I would have guessed it. Number one at the moment in the global rankings is Team Falcons.
00:24:57 Ja, ich denke, es ist wichtig, zu starten mit anderen Regionen, die wir vielleicht nicht sehen, auf die Nordamerikaner und EMEA-Broadcasts, dass wir zu commentate haben, weil wir jetzt noch mehr und mehr zu finden, welche Teams werden zu spielen, und dann plötzlich...
00:25:25 Everything changes. And remember, at Split 1, I mean, it wasn't North America. It wasn't EMEA. They were able to find a victor here. So I am expecting to see other regions not only try and reassert their dominance, but you also are going to see the likes of NA and EMEA try and reclaim said dominance at the top. North America in particular with Falcons at the moment looking the most likely, but I'm sure EMEA would love to finally get a land victory for themselves.
00:25:50 And just while we're waiting for the game to get underway, Diya, if you're there, which I'm pretty sure you are, what's your takeaways from this? Because there's a few names up there that maybe some people who only watch North America or maybe just watch EMEA and North America combined, maybe a little bit surprised to see. One of the things that...
00:26:08 Das war's für mich, wenn ich mich zurückkehren und die Kompositions.
00:26:37 Yeah, I think there are regions that are so different at the moment with not just compositions, but playstyles as well, and that's what always makes.
00:27:03 It's very exciting when we do get closer to playoffs because we start to think about how those different metas in each region will affect the overall meta at LAN. And the fact that we were able to see RejectMunity take the previous LAN just suddenly opens up a can of worms of, well, which is the best playstyle? Do North America start to take things from other regions? Do we see EMEA start to maybe show that, you know, a Pathfinder or...
00:27:26 A Mad Maggie can be the way to go here and every region is kind of watching one another saying alright well they're trying this maybe we could include that if they find success but we'll allow them to trial it first before we get into it.
00:27:39 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
00:28:01 True, especially if you're one of those teams that in the lobby only has two players and the team who landed the POI next you sees that and they're like...
00:28:31 It would be rude not to. You know what I mean? Like that kind of stuff. Yeah, you can say gentleman's agreement, but we saw that thrown out the window a little bit earlier in Emiya when ExoClan were caught off guard as a three-man swung Swinney who was doing trials on his own very, very early in the game. So you go get the points how you can, but you're completely right. We've got to wait for these players to all get in the lobby. We want to bring you the best games that we can and hopefully just in a matter of moments, sooner rather than later, we can get into game number one. So thank you for bearing with us. We'll get there, everyone. Don't worry. Don't panic. We'll get there.
00:29:00 It's happening slowly but surely. This is the faith that we all share. And while we are thinking about the, of course, next couple of games that could happen here in North America, you bring up a very good point on set. Reflecting on our games in EMEA, we're already starting to see teams that are, even if they're not actually contesting, are starting to...
00:29:23 Test the waters with each other a little bit more in the early game. And that's something that I'm really a big fan of, Gaskin, because it means that we are getting a little bit more early action that a lot of people were concerned would be removed by the POI draft. Instead, we're seeing it just in a more calculated, more strategic way. Yeah, people are starting to get a little bit too comfortable with the fact that they have the entire POI to themselves. So, of course, they spread themselves thin. You can sometimes see people...
00:29:49 so far away from one another as a team, because they just assume they are uncontested, they're not going to be pushed early, and people are now taking advantage of that, saying, well, we know that this single player is going to be looting this area because we've also played from that POI, we've spread ourselves, we know who's vulnerable, we can push them, and not only can we get that kill, but we can maybe take a better POI because of it. It's an entirely different way of contesting, but it does mean that there is that chance to go from a bad POI to a good POI if you're brave.
Änderungen an Legenden und Auswirkungen auf die Meta
00:30:18
00:30:18 And it really rewards scouting out what other teams are going to do, finding vulnerability, something that, of course, those teams with coaches actually have a really nice edge on. Something else that you have a nice edge on if you are a team with a coach is what's coming in the next patch. We broke this down just a bit on EMEA, but Onset, I want to dive back into things with Bangalore. Of course, the changes to her coming next season are going to really shake up the meta, at least I'd have to imagine, because, well, the smoke...
00:30:47 Es ist sicher, dass es das größte Spiel der Pro-League in der Geschichte ist. Wir haben einen der größten Veränderungen von der Po-I-Draft. Und dann halbwegs durch das Spiel, oder halbwegs durch das Spiel, vielleicht zwei-thirds von dem Weg durch, wir haben das Patch Drop, das wird komplett verändern.
00:31:14 So, you can also see the dev note as well, it highlights the
00:31:43 The highlight will not be visible from outside of the smoke, which means that all the rotational sight blocking gameplay is kept intact, but it changes the role of Bangalore a little bit from someone who kind of has a lot of options when it comes to how you use those smokes to a little bit more one dimensional in my opinion. And we'll have to see if that's going to affect her pick rate moving forward. And this might sound a bit crazy, but we do see smokes work this way in other FPS titles as well, where it's more about blocking the visibility from people outside, but you can have a
00:32:12 Fair fight if you both find yourself within that smoke.
00:32:16 A viewer experience is going to be far superior. The players maybe will get a bit frustrated at first because you can't just simply smoke yourself, survive, reset, and people are going to be scared to push into that smoke. No, now people will be more confident to be aggressive if they see that smoke because you have that opportunity to take a fair fight. I kind of like the change, but you know, we'll have to see how it goes. As Mark said, pro players will have to adapt and they have been through a lot of changes so far. And it really is a blessing to see how people can make those changes and still find success.
00:32:45 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
00:32:46 One of the things that I'm going to be very fascinated by with the Bangalore changes is the fact that while the functionality of the smoke is changing, we've also seen a rise in popularity of Bangalore because of the way that it interacts with the inputs in the game. Bangalore smoke for so long has disabled aim assist when you're fighting controller players, and so it's been a very popular way for mouse and keyboard players to take close range fights. Now, I've talked to some of the devs, and from what I've heard, that's staying the same.
00:33:15 You do get more visual clarity in the smoke, but on set, you now still have this incredibly powerful tool in the hands of mouse and keyboard players to be able to take close range fights. Hey, it seems like you're standing on the side of the M&K crowd here, and I'm just saying I'm coming in that smoke with a havoc, and my clip size, even though it's been reduced, is more than big enough to get the job done. No! I want no smoke. You don't want no smoke. If you see me coming and you hear that havoc charging up, you know you're gonna have a problem, but you're quite right. I think it's not just as one-dimensional as...
00:33:44 Jetzt, weil du jemanden sehen kannst, kannst du die Kontroll-Advdage nutzen. Es wird immer wieder sein, dass M&K-Player in die Smokes wird. Und, speaking of, wir haben natürlich M&K-Player auf Bangalore. Aber für lange Zeit, der jemanden der großen Dämme ist Bloodhound, die aus den Smokern kommt aus den Smokern und ist so viel zu sehen. Das ist jetzt changing. Gaskin.
00:34:08 I'm sorry, I'm sorry to break it to you like this, but as a Bloodhound player yourself, you're going to have to rely on the TAC a whole lot more. Honestly, I'm kind of relieved because I've played Bloodhound for so long now that I can jump onto a different legend and not feel bad about doing so. But yeah, this is really going to hurt Bloodhound players as not being able to see your scan through smoke or gas, it restricts and takes away a lot of what Bloodhound offers. Don't get me wrong.
00:34:33 There will still be benefits of playing Bloodhound. We've seen pushes and getting that information is absolutely massive. Any sort of wallhack is always going to be a good thing to have involved with your composition, but removing that fact does mean that the pick rate is probably going to drop drastically. I still think for comfort, we're going to see people go through it, but I don't think necessarily we're going to see as many people find the success here.
00:34:58 And because of the existence of Survey Beacons, it could very well move people perhaps towards some other Recon Legends. But that's not the only way in which Bloodhound is getting changed. Of course, with the shifts to Beast of the Hunt, there are also some nice quality of life moves, whether they be nerfs to adjust the power of Bloodhound or just general changes. The fact that now when you hit blue armor, you now get a little bit less ult charge per raven is offset by the fact that now...
00:35:26 You can actually pick the perk that gives you more Raven, or rather that gives you more Ult Charge off of Ravens, and not feel bad about it moving into the endgame, which I think is a really nice thing on set. It brings the same macro scan that Bloodhound and the Ravens provide, while still letting you benefit from the Ultimate and Tactical Recharge after Gaskin. I know you are quite passionate about this.
00:35:50 Yeah, my bad. I think I misspoke there, but it's the ult where you can't see in the smoke rather than the scan. I think that was just me being used to Bloodhound and what I use as my terminology as a Bloodhound player. But I mean, I don't think it's going to be taking Bloodhound out of the meta completely, right? There are still going to be such benefits of using Bloodhound, so I'm not expecting a complete nerf and a complete botch of a legend that no one selects them. But I am going to say that, you know, the wombo combo we've always had of Bloodhound Bangalore, I think...
00:36:19 Es beginnt zu sterben, und das ist ein Sad-Reality, weil es da so lange ist. Ist es so sad? Ich kann nicht sagen, dass ich mich zu miss... Es ist der Return of the Seer Meta, everybody! Oh, no! Seer ist zurück, und Seer ist zurück, und Seer ist zurück, und Seer ist zurück, und Seer ist zurück. Ich weiß nicht, man. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, es könnte, aber Seer... Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, es könnte, aber Seer... Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht.
00:36:46 Ja, wir werden sehen, wir werden sehen. Ja, ich habe Plenty of Copium zu disperse auf, warum Seer nicht die optimal choice ist. Aber für heute möchte ich noch ein bisschen mehr über die anderen Legends, die werden geändert werden. Wir haben eine Entrance zu diesem Legend gesehen und Onset. Es ist nur fair, dass ich diesen zu dir geben. Wie viel das eigentlich affect Pathfinder's Play Rate in either pubs oder ALGS?
00:37:16 My boy, he's certainly getting a little bit of a buff and a little bit of a change. I mean, it's like you can ask me, as I'm obviously someone who's played a lot of battles on Pathfinder, really, really loves the character and always will, but also I will be slightly biased in my opinions on Pathfinder, so keep that in mind. But I think one thing to note here, down and away, Attack Refreshing now on both Nox and Assisted Nox.
00:37:40 Das bedeutet, dass wenn du ein Knochen und ein Knochen in einen Knochen bekommst,
00:37:47 You can grapple in, you can grapple out, and you can be such a nuisance in and around those fights, especially if it's an isolated fight a little bit earlier in the game where there's not other third parties looking around. And you've got to remember as well that maybe it might become the ultimate third party character as well towards an endgame, because if you see a fight happening, you grapple in, that you have that available, you get that refresh. If you get a knock or you assist the knock in a fight as well, you grapple back out. So Pathfinder is going to become a very, very strong legend when it
00:38:17 Das ist das, was das Pathfinder ist.
00:38:27 Und das ist auch ein bisschen weniger Team Utilität. Das Ability zu gehen in und aus dem Fighten ist wirklich wo Revenant shines.
00:38:56 Jetzt kann man Grimm-Leapern und wirklich von der Abilität zu resetten, während der Engagement Gaskin erinnert.
00:39:05 I mean, I'm already terrified just looking at Revenant and Pathfinder changes for any solo modes that are going to continue to be brought into the game and played in Apex, because Revenant and Pathfinder dominate solos, and they seem to have got even better. Everyone's going to be jumping on me, so I think I might have to join the crew. I might have to start playing Pathfinder or Rev just to run away from others. Pathfinder, I would say anyone who plays Revenant instead of Pathfinder is a low-skill player. Dang!
00:39:34 You know what I mean, you've got choices, but like, you're Pathfinder, you've got to think about where you're going, you're Revenant, you hit your ult, and then you leave it about, you're a low-skill player, okay? I'm out here preaching, like, love and peace in the ALGS, and it is just violence all day from onset. Well, I tell you what, we can look forward to a lot more of it as we get into our first couple of games. Thank you so much, everyone, for your patience. We should be dropping onto Stormpoint soon.
00:40:01 Okay, let's get into it then, Dan. Good news is I've already isolated some of the community who love playing Revenant, but hopefully I've given a little bit of an uplift to some of the players who have been waiting to play Pathfinder for quite some time. But a lot of changes come in, but those changes won't happen for at least another couple of match days. We'll have to see how today goes as finally we're kicking things off here in North America on Stormpoint for our game number one.
00:40:23 Ja, sehr gespannt zu sehen, wer kann die Leid hier in dieser Serie sein, denn wir wissen, die Teams haben die besten POIs, Blatt und Oblivion, Mil und Seto, Notmoist und Furia, Launchpad und Echo, werden die vier Teams, die...
00:40:37 in theory, should be picking up points, but of course we know should does not mean will, and the zones can certainly play a factor in it, as can the other teams in the area and surrounding POIs, who we already saw in EMEA, can sometimes make decisions to kind of contest some of these squads at the better POIs.
00:40:55 Well, here we go then. Let's see how today plays out. One team we haven't talked a lot about so far because there hasn't been a lot to talk about is DSG. And they've got some work to do today. Really looking like it might be a little bit of a Hail Mary towards the end of the season for them to see if they can qualify, of course, for the split two playoffs. But a lot of change going on there. We've seen a lot of emotions, of course, in that team. But Bleed Esports, newly signed. It's only right we give them a little bit of a...
00:41:20 Ja, wir brauchen einen Team wie DSG zu sehen.
00:41:32 Top 5, probably, maybe top 6 every single time they compete on our screens now for the rest of the season if they were to get to playoffs. So that is quite a tall order, right? That is consistency at its very finest. So we'll have to see whether that can happen as we take a look at Bleed Esports, previously Skidmark, and no longer we have to make those jokes and they will no longer stain the lobby. Now, Stormcatcher is where we are going to be heading. Stallions in prime position.
00:42:01 I was gonna say, you got so close.
00:42:03 So close, but I respect you getting one more in. It's only fair, right? It's only fair. Looking at where we are going there, you're quite right. Stormcatcher looks like it is going to be our POI that's going to be contested for sure. Fluffy Amers dropping over at Elrod are going to have a pretty good rotate to this as well. Native Gaming, who love to play Zone as well. You can see they're already making their move from Command Center as well to kind of scout out what's going to be going down. It's interesting to see what building Stallions actually decide to play. If they're going to stay on the extreme height of Stormcatcher, if they're going to move...
00:42:32 We have seen this circle a couple of times, or a very similar one anyway, that does finish.
00:42:58 Und ich glaube, es war die Red Rams, die in diesem Final Circle gefunden hat. So es ist eine Chance, wenn du ein Team von weiteren POIs bist. Wir sehen uns jetzt, Eternl, in diesem Spiel. Und ich frage mich jetzt, ist es McLovin oder ist es der Part-Time DJ MC Lovin?
00:43:27 Wir haben noch nie diskutiert. Oh mein Gott. Let's see how das geht. Das ist DSG auf der anderen Seite. Wir haben die Prowler's Nest momentan zu bekommen. Aber da ist das Opfer, das sie zu finden, mit den Sentineln zu finden. Tempere haben das gehört, das zu gehen. Sie haben sich aus dem Checkpoint ausgewählt. Und das ist ein Nobody-Win-Situation.
00:43:53 Tempo need to time this correctly, though. They don't want to push in too early and become the focus point of both teams and then just get absolutely shafted. Instead, you need to wait. You need to see damage. You need to see something in the kill feed before you can then get involved. And as soon as Tempo are seen, which they were seen and were spotted and were shot at, Disguised and Eternal will now know that and then they're going to be reluctant to take the fight as well. So an attempted third party often happens, but sometimes that attempted third party can derail a fight completely.
00:44:22 Well, for now, it looks like everyone's just kind of calmed down a little bit. Apart from the Prowler, of course. One left. Solo. Elsewhere. You can see TSM. A little bit of a fight going down here. And this is down towards the southern side of the map, I imagine. And the other side of it, I think, was Native Gaming, if I wasn't mistaken. So maybe this is a little bit more central than what we thought originally. And it's actually going to be out to the east side on the cliff side. So...
00:44:45 TSM ist eigentlich um die Norte zu der Norte, wo diese Zone ist, für jetzt, nach Elrod und dann zurück. LG ist da jetzt. Sie haben noch ein bisschen mehr zu gehen, aber es ist interessant zu sehen, TSM zu sehen, oder vielleicht nur ein bisschen surprised zu sehen, dass Native Gaming, die natürlich über den Command Center mit der Ring-Console in dieser Position ist. Ja, ich mag die Position von LG, und ich dachte, TSM, vielleicht würde es versuchen, das Weg zu nehmen, aber...
00:45:12 If you can be on the northern side of where this circle is going to finish, it does give you a little bit of an advantage because if it's the endgame that I think it is above Stormcatcher, there is a lot of open space and you are very vulnerable when you make your rotation in and sometimes sliding in from the north can just give you that little bit of extra speed that you might need to survive when you're being focused from teams that have a little bit more cover at Stormcatcher.
00:45:37 Enough of Stormcatcher back to Command Center, which is where Native Gaming found themselves dropping, but they've moved away from there for now because Flat, they're taking their fight, and this is one of the scariest fighting teams that we do have in the ALGS at the moment. Nobody really wants to fight Flat. Nobody really wants to fight Nano, and they're not going to have to right now, especially if you're an LG fan, but...
00:45:54 NaNo should be res, should be able to get back to his feet, and it looks like this is gonna be a pretty convincing looking fight for them. They've already managed to secure two of these kills, so with a quick shield swap and a little bit of pressure, this should be an opportunity to clean up the last members of Vanity here and put some more KP on the board. And if you can win this fight and hold this area just south of Command Center, you are in a really good position to move into the next zone as well, or...
00:46:15 The zone after next, should I say, because you can hug the wall and you've got quite a little bit of cover and you're not going to have too many angles where you get shot from. So Flat, I think, are in a good spot right now. They don't have to move and they can play there for quite some time. But we do see a few teams that have made their way already onto the Stormcatcher building as Furion moving all the way from the south are going to be approaching, of course, from the low side here. And they'll need information from the Bloodhound to try and make their push and try and find a spot that's playable.
00:46:43 Just playing this one safe for the moment. You can see them smoking themselves into this tunnel. Just making sure that there wasn't a team across from them that's going to be able to do too much damage. It's not going to be devastating damage. It's just a little tickle of the shields and a little tickle of the white meds as well. It's going to be required by Madness to recover here. So Furia do a pretty good job on this rotate to control this staircase. They will be here for quite some time. You would imagine with the amount of teams that are already stacked up in Stormpoint. And they'll know the timing that they have as well. So they're not going to be challenging anything on the top of Stormpoint for quite some time.
00:47:16 I'm really interested to see what happens on the northern side. At the moment, Furia should be safe and could probably stay here for a while. I don't think they need to be moving just yet, and they may not be able to move because of the amount of teams that have surrounded them. They are probably going to wait for ults and queues to come through that they can work with to give them that information, but it's Fluffy Amos and LG, both in really good spots, as the zone does continue to pull.
Strategische Positionen und Teamdynamiken im frühen Spiel
00:47:38
00:47:38 Where I thought it was going to go above Stormcatcher. So LG in a good position at the moment. But where it usually finishes is just south of that mountain next to Command Center. And that will be an open area that is difficult to hold right now. But someone who takes that space in a good amount of time later in the endgame might be able to find a victory if they can hold it off with a Watson, for example.
00:47:59 Yeah, LG in a really, really good spot here. They've got a lot of rock cover in the place that they find themselves. And the good news for them as well is they will know that to their north is Fluffy Amos, right? They would have had a little exchange of fire. You can already see they're scouting this out and they'll know that they have to clear their back. But the fact that Tempera are coming from the north as well, perfect timing from the observers as well, means that LG might have an opportunity here to have Fluffy Amos taken care of without them really having to do too much. So Fluffy Amos now from a fantastic position have got to be very, very careful and careful.
00:48:29 Aber sie sind nicht. Hambino will gehen, und sie müssen versuchen, das Res zu stecken. No chance zu tun. Heard die Footsteps, und Tempo fliegen in, um den Rest des Dammage zu tun. Und also, L.G. watching on, ist das Fluffy-Aimers nicht mehr zu werden, und es wird die Attent zu retreiten, aber es wird die Trempe zu retreiten. Aber es wird die Trempe nicht in der Weg bringen, aber auch. Tempo nicht wollen, die L.G. zu verlassen.
00:48:55 Temporal will try and push this understandably so, because they recognize the importance of not just the KP, but also clearing the northern side of this zone. And some good damage coming in, and you have to wonder if they're going to be forced to push this, or if LG are going to get a knock. And like I mentioned, Sweet is trying to be proactive in this situation. It's a very smart play. Funk pops the ult as well on the Bloodhound to see if he can get some damage as well. But they've also got to be careful of the team shooting them from the top.
00:49:20 ... ... ... ...
00:49:47 So even if you do win this fight, it might not work out for you, but not Moist have got the opener onto Verhorst. I mean, it's a brilliant ult coming in from Guild as well. You saw the Monolo goes down, and he gets the knock almost immediately. Elsewhere, you can see the Native Gaming are trying to have a little look at this as well, and the longer this fight goes on, Moist have got to be very, very careful to get in a position to pop those medkits and stay safe. They will be safe in that corner. Looks like Native decided that they don't want any part of it, and instead are going to wrap back to their position, just making sure that their backs are clear, but not Moist have.
00:50:15 Done the job, right? They expend all their utility there to get into this position, to take it away from TSM. And not only that, they take Verholster out of this situation as well.
00:50:25 Now it will give NotMoist this eastern side, but there is a lot of work to do from the east to get into the next zone once this one closes. So it might be a good position at the moment, but there needs to be the thought of how and where do we go from here? Because are they aware of native gaming that are just a little bit north of them? That's the real question. They'll be trying to get as much info as possible now from this position.
00:50:50 Well, anyone who watched what happened between Timmy and Hau recently will know that this is a dangerous gun with the three times on it to have in the hands of Timmy. One of the most ridiculous shots. He's actually hit, I think, two of the most ridiculous shots I've seen in quite some time. One was to close the game out and one was to essentially dance around Hau for one of the only times in Hau's career to make him look a little bit silly. But it didn't cost them too much in that game. And Timmy, at the moment, is just trying to play alongside his teammates. They are looking for an opening with that Sentinel, though.
00:51:18 They're going to need to get a little bit of damage, like you say, to move up, because it's a tough move for them to have to make next. They can at least wait for round two to close so that they can gain the ring console information, or the ring information, should I say? They have no ring console, of course. And now they will be aware that they are going to have to move a little bit further, but they would have expected to. I'm sure, looking at their second circle, they wouldn't have thought it was going to happen, as we are going to be continuing to head...
00:51:40 Nord of Stormcatcher, perhaps a little bit further north than some might expect. It does put LG into a prime position here, and I think Tempo will also be delighted with that one because they can play that building they find themselves in for quite some time, and it gives them so much extra coverage and should allow them to get to the endgame. Their concern at the moment, Tempo, is is anyone still north of us? Is anyone going to be arriving late? But the answer probably is no, because Disguised are going to be going around the other way and fighting with Flat instead.
00:52:10 Und die einzige die Disguide vielleicht könnte es...
00:52:13 Es ist ein Risky-Plan, es ist ein Risky-Plan. Es gibt so viele Optionen für DSG. Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, und zu haben, dass Liquid Alienware eine meiner Team zu sehen ist. Sie sind ein wenig Flesch-Damage, ein wenig Flesch-Damage. Es wird mehr als genug für sie zu pushen werden. Jaguarez wird das erste Knochen. Und jetzt sieht man, dass er das erste Knochen ist, dass er noch mehr ist. Kann er nicht gut sein können? Es geht nicht um ein paar Sekunden. Das ist nicht so. Die Team-Mate sind da. Bordeliminate. Das ist das clean, wie ihr könnt.
00:52:40 Ja, Liquid giving them the Huckpuh and cleaning it up, and now Furia on the other side, they didn't try and push in on this one because it was such an easy wipe for Liquid as well. They noticed that there wasn't anything in the killfeed, there wasn't anything that was going to happen that allowed them that opening, and it is the cleanest of wipes for Liquid. They now have this southern side, but getting from south to north is going to be tough because there are so many teams ahead of them here.
00:53:04 You are disgraceful. Anyway, it's going to be not moist. They're going to take a little bit of zone damage and zone 3 is certainly going to chip away as you can see. So it's not just a case of finding a place to play here. It's knowing it landing with a little bit less, maybe...
00:53:22 ...hp, als je hätte erwartet, aber das ist ein Smart Play. Sie sehen, sie spielen für die Treespot, sie landen, wo Native Gaming war, ein paar Moments ago. Und sie wollen sie versuchen, sie aus diesen Positionen, das ist wo sie gewonnen haben. Sie versuchen, die E-Vac Tower und die Fusel zu bekommen, um die Aufmerksamkeit von den Ultimaten zu bekommen, wie sie können.
Entscheidende Teamkämpfe und Zonenverschiebungen
00:53:39
00:53:39 Elsewhere, Guild is just firing in as many Knuckle Clusters as they can. This is an all-in play now from Moist. Very all-in. Rambo and Snipedown have both gone down. Sadly, this is going to be very difficult to rescue for Native. RKN, the last player to try and escape, unable to do so, and Native Gaming will go down, and it's a sad sight to see. But not Moist. Now we'll hold that position on the eastern side. Mulder, meanwhile, Empire making their move in, as everyone else is really trying to approach from the south here and all being forced together.
00:54:08 Vanity eliminated as well. C9 taking a lot of damage. I think there's only one or two players alive still from C9. It's about who wants the kills and it looks like C9 will be the victims of multiple teams in and around the area as they will be eliminated. So 15 squads now remaining and everybody at the moment who is on the south side of this zone is thinking...
00:54:26 Kp, Kp, Kp, Kp, because that zone has shifted up towards where LG and Fluffy Amos find themselves. Tempera as well in a very, very good position as Complexity and TSM will fall. So nothing for TSM in game number one, not really anything for Complexity either as Liquid Alienware starts to take over the inside of Stormcatcher here. They are looking for Kp. God, everyone in Stormcatcher though is not fun at all as Yanyu is taking so much damage there.
00:54:51 Thought he maybe had a clear shot and might be able to just ruin anyone below. But there were other teams, of course, to join in on said damage. And sadly, now they will find themselves as a two. But everyone here at Stormcatcher is probably going to die before the next circle anyway. As EEC get the kills onto Empire. Suddenly, just like that, we lose five teams. We're down to 11 squads. But five of those teams are still outside of this circle. Actually...
00:55:15 Es ist nur Fluffy-Aimers und LG in der nächsten 1, aber Temper sind in eine gute Position. Es ist ein All-In-Play.
00:55:37 Designful though, gets a little bit of damage in himself. Niall's trying to follow up on it himself and might be able to, with a one clip, give him an opportunity to clutch this. Designful now left on his own. It's a 1v1, he's going to nade this player out. Should be able to get some poke damage and forces them away, but can he reset in time? Is he going to be able to play these knockdowns to get DSG in a position to get healthy? You've always got to trust Designful in a 1v1, surely.
00:56:03 And he just about gets enough damage to give him the upper hand in this said 1v1. Shields are going to play a big part in it. Again, there's more damage with the Havoc. And Disguised, it was a big risky play, but they do come out on top. But sadly, there is another team in the area. Liquid Alienware now taking advantage of this one. Oh, you can see as well, they're designed for wanting to port underneath to get the res. And instead, it's just going to be their demise that happens. So DSG will fall. And somehow, Team Liquid Alienware have taken one of the best positions in the entire game.
00:56:32 Yeah, LG are now just a little bit away from this circle. But of course, they can hug that wall and approach the northern side. But now, Flat are going to be above them. But it is a good opportunity for KP. As you mentioned, six teams remain. Both Eternal or the remainder of Eternal and Fluffy Amers are below LG here. And they should be able to pick it up and they will pick up.
00:57:00 Another kill, and that means Eternal EC eliminated, down to five squads. So you've got LG on the southeast side, Fluffy Amers on the southwest, Stallions, who are pretty much dead center of this zone, by the way. They've slowly gone about their business and found themselves in a pretty good spot.
00:57:14 Dann Liquid Alienware. Ich meine, die Story für sie ist, dass sie an Stormcatcher sind, und ich war sagen, dass jemand an Stormcatcher ist wirklich zu kämpfen. Aber sie hat die RISKIEST von Spiels, macht die Move, die Evac Tower und sie finden sich jetzt in einer der besseren Position.
00:57:43 Vielen Dank.
00:57:49 Ja, Flat will always going to be their biggest concern. The Catmull goes down just to provide a little bit of cover so that Sykes and Funk can try and do something as a duo here. But Flat, they can't really push their advantage right now because they don't want to give up the position they find themselves in. They kind of need to stay here because if they expose themselves, they will be shot by Liquid Alienware. You can already see the bullets raining down from above here.
00:58:20 By checking the hands of Nano as well.
Endgame-Strategien und Dominanz von Team Liquid Alienware
00:58:22
00:58:22 Es wird ein wenig zu tun, dass er das Katwall hat. LG wird erinnert, also es ist wieder die Story in der Top 5 nicht in die Nummer 1 für sie. Liquid Alienware, sie haben alle Red Evos in der Moment. Sie können nicht mehr sehen, und sie sind in der größten Kommandung in dieser Zone. Die einzige, die sie können, vielleicht ein Fuse, vielleicht ein paar Skynates, vielleicht ein paar Skynates, die sie aus dieser Plattform zu machen. Aber mit Fluffy Amos zu 2 und Stallion taking so viel damage, und Albrel-Ele jetzt geht es. Surely, das Team Liquid wird.
00:58:51 Team Liquid haben alles, die sie brauchen, um diese Spiel zu gewinnen. Und es ist so ein sehr guter Erfolg auf die Stallion. So jetzt FluffyAimers in ein 2-3-2. Clearly, ihre Backs sind gegen die Wall. Aber das ist nicht so, dass es jetzt noch nicht fertig ist.
00:59:05 You're going to have to hit a big shot here. You're going to have to hope that one of these boxes has a Kraber or something that you can get a one-hit kill with if you want to even these numbers up. Or maybe you try and isolate one player. But one thing that Team Liquid is so good at is making sure that they all play within the vicinity of each other. However, Yanya, just as I say that, he's playing a little bit of that off angle.
00:59:26 Mit der Charged Sentinels, ich glaube, das ist ein Fired von Distanz. Das ist vielleicht eine Möglichkeit zu machen, aber Team Liquid Alienware, ich bin ehrlich, sie haben komplett control von der Zone. Fluffy-Aimers werden erst einmal in den Open zu müssen, und das ist sicherlich ein Teil von Zeit. Das ist es. Wir kommen all den Weg von Barometer South, Liquid Alienware, das ist eine großartige Rotation für sie. Es war etwas für die Fluffy-Aimers von Lightning Rod, so sie sollte wirklich auf den Endgame kommen. Und sie haben das geschafft, so sie sind glücklich.
00:59:55 Now it's about trying to do what looks like the unachievable here. But Liquid Alienware, being very patient, maybe don't have the information that it's a two, but you imagine the scam would have caught two. But again, even knowing it's just a two, you don't have to force this. You can play it patiently. You can be on the back foot for a short while and just say, let's make them come to us.
01:00:14 I mean, Chase Mob is trying to hit a big shot. You can see he's looking for an angle. They're looking to isolate Yanya as much as they can. But then the smoke's going to go in. Then the scans are going to come through as well. And you can see that Yanya wants to get this game done now. He's going to have to take a second just to pop a battery.
01:00:29 und der Scan ist jetzt wieder zurückgegangen. So Olmö hat sich natürlich auf Janja geholfen, und jetzt haben sie die Information, es ist die Duel. Sie müssen ja nicht fragen, wie viele Kills haben. Er will nur die Spiel, Team Liquid Alienware gewinnen. Und das wird der erste Spiel auf dem Board, der erste Spiel hier auf Stormpoint. Es ist auch ein guter Spiel, ich würde gerne sehen, und ich werde wieder sehen, von der FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT-FACEIT.
01:00:58 Ja, es war eine sehr interessante Reset von ihnen, weil wir sehen, dass eine Knot kam in von der Team, bevor sie das E-Vac gemacht hat. Ich presume es war ein E-Vac, auf der Nordseite.
01:01:20 Yeah, it could have been a cannon. It could have been something. We'll have to go back and watch that just to catch exactly what happened on that moment. But having got to that position, I think one thing you've got to give them a lot of credit for in those final moments is just how they played the endgame, how they managed it, right? They got the knock-on to Alv, then they swing in and take the opportunity to clean up that team, knowing it then presents them with probably what in their head is a 3v3, right? And then they play patiently until the scan is available. They smoke them out.
01:01:43 Ich habe gesagt, es war ein sehr, sehr gut gespielt von Start zu Finish. Ja, sie haben jetzt eine Head Start über den Rest der Lobby. Und Sie wissen, dass sie nicht genau haben die Best Pick auf Zone, oder POI, soll ich sagen.
01:02:06 Stormpoint first. They went for a World's Edge pick to begin with, but they picked at 17th for Countdown, and then it was 24th when they picked Barometer. So, you know, they're not expecting to have crazy days on Stormpoint, but I think we've seen Liquid Alienware and this squad perform well from the southern side of Stormpoint over and over across the years, so it's about finding a comfortable rotation for them.
01:02:30 Got 13 kills to go alongside it. I think they'll be delighted with it. Yeah, very, very strong start for Liquid Alien, where a lot of heavy lifting for the day has been done in game number one. Elsewhere, just looking across where the points are, Eternal managed to pick up eight kills down in sixth position to put them on a total of 11, which is the third highest in the lobby. Fluffy Amos, as a duo, we will say as well, managed to rescue that game and get themselves into second position. So very, very well played from them. DSG pick up a few KP on their way towards that top 10 finish.
01:02:59 Vielen Dank.
01:03:06 Now, on the flip side and on the lower half of the leaderboard, there were still teams who got KP and will still stay with a consistent amount of points to stay in the conversation. Sadly, not the case for the bottom five, those who were eliminated a little bit earlier. We did catch Native Gaming going down and not really having the opportunity to do anything from their position after the Fuse Ultimate came in. And we'll have to see whether they can recover from that going into the next one.
01:03:33 A fantastic Match 1 to watch. I mean, it's a very difficult zone to play because a lot of open space, not very many buildings to work with aside from Stormcatcher or the building that is just north of it. And it meant that we had everyone kind of on top of each other taking that fight and almost everyone in Stormcatcher fell except from Liquid who somehow were able to Scarpa away. Yeah, very, very impressive endgame management and reset, I think, coming in from Liquid in that game. Somewhat surprising to see it happen, but happen.
01:03:59 Ja, es war es. Und von der Position, sie waren able zu close den Spiel aus. Hier sind die Stats von den drei Spieler, die wir sehen, auf Team Liquid Alienware, die in der ersten Spiel genommen haben. Wir haben Ving, ich würde sagen, Kills leden heavily bei Jaguarez. Sie haben 7 Kills für ihn, die meisten Damage auf dem Team gespielt. Aber ich muss ein Shoutout an Niazor, auf der Bangalore. Huge amount of Assists. Und wenn ich Big Assists kommen aus Bangalore, es immer shows...
01:04:21 The player is playing bang right, because you're going in, you're doing damage, you're playing your life, and then your two, I would say, more frag-heavy characters are coming in to clean up that damage, the Bloodhound and the Fuse alongside it. So very, very well played. No surprise to see as well Jaguar is with the most damage on Fuse, because you can just fire knucklecasters at people and essentially inflate your numbers. The Bangalore I usually play with has a sniper and is staying back. I'm not going to name any names, but you know who you are.
01:04:46 Das ist wie man es spielen, man geht in, man geht in, genau wie du gesagt hast, Mark, in eine sehr impressionante Game 1 für Liquid Alienware. Und ich hoffe, mehr als das gleiche ist. Sie sind sicher, dass sie in die Art, wie sie pushen sind, sehr gut kommunizieren, nur bei den Tarketen und wie patienten sie waren, in dieser Final Circle. Wenn du ein Team ist ein 2, wie viele Leute sehen, wie viele Leute...
01:05:07 Flying towards them to try and get that kill. Famously, I remember last week Falcons throwing themselves at a fight when they hadn't even reloaded, but Liquid Alienware not making that kind of mistake. Instead, letting the zone do the job, forcing the other team out and then pushing when the time is right.
01:05:24 Und es hat sich auch schon mal geholfen, die erste auf die Stallion auf die erste. Ja, es war es. Sie sehen, er hat sich nicht mehr geholfen, aber es hat sich nicht mehr geholfen. Und das war, ich würde sagen, komplett control von Endgame zu Team Liquid in diesem Moment. Sie haben es sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr geholfen. Aber ich denke, komplett control ist richtig. Sie haben nicht wirklich geholfen, dass sie nicht mehr geholfen haben, in die finalen Moments zu machen. Die Art deiner Prioritizei die Teams mit ihnen war, war absolut perfekt. Und dann, wie ich gesagt, finden Sie es ein Duo.
01:05:53 Having picked up a lot of KP on your way forward already, you just know damage is all you need to do and you're going to claim the win. So a very, very strong game for Team Liquid Alienware in game number one, Dan, and a perfect continuation, it looks like, of their form from last time we saw them. Yeah, what I would expect from Liquid Alienware, but now the question is, can they carry on that form? Not just through Stormpoint and World's Edge, but an amazing performance and an incredible match one to watch. So that means you should stick around for match number two because it's coming right up after this break.
01:07:55 is the official PC and monitor partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:08:05 Das war's.
01:08:49 Die Wahrheit dieser Welt ist die Möge.
01:09:57 This might hurt a bit.
Ankündigungen zu Spieländerungen und ALGS-Anpassungen
01:10:14
01:10:14 Double Take will be dropping this Tuesday with some of the most ominous Lifeline voice messages that I have heard in probably since I started playing this game, Gaskin. But it's not the only thing that's changing. Lifeline isn't just getting darker. The game is, uh, well, shifting some things up. Some of them apply to ALGS. Some are just going to be for, you know, us lads who want to play a few casual games here and there. First and foremost, though...
01:10:39 When I'm thinking about the ALGS, I really am thinking about the adjustments that will be coming to the rings. You can see that in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen and rings with more even distribution throughout the map. Now there's a 25% chance that each quadrant will get a zone ending, which should do a lot of our teams a lot of favors. Yeah, the amount of times we'll look into where the zone finishes are and, you know, the statistics on that. I think it was actually Snipedown who tweeted out that we hadn't seen...
01:11:04 ... ... ... ...
01:11:24 Also, I am very excited for Quads. I mean, the amount of times I've been playing as a trio and I've had a fourth player try and say, hey, have you got any room? Have you got any space in your squad? And you have to say, nah, sorry, we've already got three. We've got a full lobby. Well, finally now.
01:11:49 Onset can come and play, and I'm happy that I can have him come and join the game. That'll be really nice. I mean, frequently I find myself wanting to try out a few different editions of Legends as well. I remember I saw a tweet just yesterday about how we can now have Quadra Controller comps and about how you should love and accept those people. And I will say, you know, I mean...
01:12:13 I'm probably going to be one of them. You can love or accept me, you cannot, but I will be running Rampart, Caustic, Watson, Catalyst at least, at least a couple of times during the course of this event. We do have the lobby starting up soon, so we'll be jumping in, but I do want to note that, of course, with the Havoc...
01:12:33 Ja, und zu tun es von Barometer South für Team Liquid Alienware ist noch mehr...
01:12:58 Impressive here, dear, and I'm expecting them to do more of the same because they just love playing from the south. They do. They keep picking south. I don't know why. I mean, we can postulate, but if you want to try and solve some of that yourself, maybe find your own playstyle. I do have to say, Challenger Circuit, the best place to do it. A lot of our teams here...
01:13:16 Not just in today's games, but all across the ALGS do come from Challenger Circuit, and you've got a wonderful opportunity to show off your Apex Legends skills, improve them, and perhaps even play against some of the best in the world by making it to the Pro League. And if you're lucky, lad.
01:13:35 Well, it's just about time as the players are in their respective dropships and dropping to their own POIs now and thank you for everyone for your patience as the lobby got sorted but now everyone has arrived to said POIs and they can comfortably start their looting and booting or we say comfortably we have seen a few times that looting is not necessarily as comfortable if you spread yourselves out sometimes players who are in different POIs that maybe aren't as successful
01:14:01 Might try and grief you a little bit. Or at least try and steal that POI away from you. Looks like everyone is playing pretty fair though in the early stages from what I can see. And no one is going to be losing their POI in these early stages. But circle wise, we're going to be heading a little bit further west this time around Cascade Falls. And Seto Station is where we're going to be heading. And a reminder for those of you who...
01:14:26 ...might like to observe it. Faceit Watch has the ability to pull up the map feed and know exactly where the ring is going, whether or not we are mentioning it here. We'll have the opportunity, of course, to demonstrate it on broadcast as we will be going pretty central, but I'm going to call this...
01:14:42 If I were categorizing it, Gaskin, I would put us in the northwestern side of the zone. The fact that this is Cascade Falls, though, does create quite a few nasty chokes, especially if you are coming from the further northwest over by North Pad, where Eternal EC and Disguised are. And even for Temper and Board, because of the mountain ranges that lie between here and the likely end over by Cascade Falls, you will have to choose your steps carefully.
01:15:07 Yeah, would you suggest this is the 25% of the northwest when we get the 25% zones? That's the real question. I guess it really depends on where the circle pulls, because if it were to pull to the west side of Cascade Falls and closer towards Seto, then yeah, probably is going to be that. But then certainly if you pull all the way over to the east, you start to say, well, that is very central indeed and tough to split the difference. Now we have seen circles like this that do pull.
01:15:32 Quite far east on Cascade Falls, so we'll have to see whether it's something more of the same, but at the moment the early movers, Complexity, Empire and Temper have all committed to the POI of Cascade just so they can hold these buildings and have some way to play.
Frühe Rotationen und strategische Positionskämpfe
01:15:46
01:15:46 Sorry, I didn't mean to sound so scared there, but I was just genuinely terrified for a moment, because Empire, who did get the ring scan in Jurassic, went, oh, we're the only ones, and completely forgot the complexity, who land Cascade, also know where the zone is, and have also picked up a building. It leaves Empire at a little bit of a loss. Not quite sure what building they're going to be able to claim or play for now, but the zipline will do just fine as a temporary stopgap. Looking forward to the next position that Empire gets the chance to play.
01:16:15 There was a team being absolutely melted there and shot by several different squads. It was flat, but flat have just been able to survive and get out of dodge. But you can see a lot of teams committing early to this rotate. As expected, we have a lot of zone teams at the moment who want to get early, want to get into a place that they can call home and then start to think about that zone as it arrives a little bit later. But for those who are on the edge POIs, it's going to be a more difficult scene for them to try and get into this circle. So perhaps they'll be hoping that it does.
01:16:45 von Cascade. Und es geht um ein bisschen weiter, um ein weiteres, um zu Command Center zu kommen. Empire.
01:16:51 ... ... ... ... ...
01:17:16 Hatte Ring console spawn at their location. So, for example, in Furia's case, as they're just now passing through Jurassic, the team who was already in Jurassic would have hit the Ring console already and found their way into the zone. Now, Furia do not have this benefit. They're going to be having to move a lot slower and likely forced into playing Edge at least until Zone 3, if they're able to get a scan and maybe a move ahead.
01:17:40 Ja, es gibt ein paar Teams, die jetzt haben RingConsole Informationen ein bisschen später als andere.
01:17:46 I think when you get Ring Console information that much later, you have to presume you have been beaten to the pulp and there's going to be a lot of teams already in your way. So you have to look at the outer areas and the different parts of the POI that you might be able to play and you assume haven't been claimed yet. And it could benefit you. As I mentioned, if the zone poles are east, then those late arrivals actually could be in a really good position. Now, from east to west, it's Cloud9 in a scrap.
01:18:12 In a 1v3, Designful goes down. Bit of a mystery as to how he got so separated from the team. The rest of Disguised are sat up by North Pad, and without the use of a support legend, it's possible that they are just playing the rest of this game completely without Design again.
01:18:31 Das ist etwas, das nur FACE-IT-WATCH, die Antwort auf die Antwort zu haben. Was auf der Erde passiert mit Disguised? Ich glaube, das ist nur durch die VAUD. Für die Leute, die nicht mehr hören sind. Das will also mean, für Disguised, dass sie nicht viel Autonomie haben in diesem Spiel. Was sie könnte haben? Rotate zu der South, alle zusammen. Nun wird stymieden. Sie können eine Pushe durch die Trident durch den Triton durch die Triton catchen oder mehr von ihnen aufgrund.
01:18:59 Yeah, Cloud9 aware that they've just taken down one member, and knowing who's dropping over here, probably presuming, and because it's a Wraith, and the Wraith is very visible of who it's going to be playing, that Legend, Cloud9's saying, well, actually, let's try and go find the remaining two, but it does look like Disguise have been able to do a little dipsy doodle and get out of the way of Cloud9, and probably grab the banner of Design Fall, and it might allow Disguise the chance to get back up to a full three here.
01:19:25 Is Dipsy Doodle the technical term, or is that... It is scientific, actually, I believe. One avoids one's approach. I like it, and I like this even more. Getting Designful back into the game was something I'd almost written off as a possibility, but with that, as we said, very technical Dipsy Doodle. Disguised, now have their third back, or rather...
01:19:47 will have their third back in the next couple of seconds and be able to make their way into the ring and that's something they've got to do pretty darn fast because you do not want to be tanking zone forever especially because you literally can't after the last patch that will eventually just tell you you really can't do this anymore you're out again well speaking of zone the circle is going to continue to move towards a more central part of cascade fall so it's not going to be pulling east it could have happened so those who were
01:20:14 Maybe sitting on the edges of that are not going to be rewarded for it, so Stallions might have a little bit more work to do. It could still, of course, pull towards the likes of LG, Furious, Stallions as well, but more likely now is going to be more central for Empire, Temper, and all the teams that really committed to Cascade Falls in the early stages here.
01:20:33 Cloud9 and Disguised, who we watched earlier, arriving from the west. I mean, where do you go? You've got Flat, who are going to be holding that tunnel. So you're going to have to take a straight 3v3 if you want to try and get through. Of course, you do have the option of trying to go over or around with an evac tower, but then you're landing blind. And even though we do see teams land blind quite often because it is a last resort, that is such a risky approach to a circle like this, which you know is going to be heavily occupied.
01:20:58 Und you und Onset haben rechtlich geprägt die Kampf-Prowess von einem Team wie Flatt, die jetzt hier ist das Singular Chokepoint. In meiner Meinung nach, wenn du C9 bist, wenn du in die Checkpoint bist, musst du in die Checkpoint zu gehen und durch einen von den Chokepoint zu gehen. Und während es nicht so ist...
01:21:13 A sure bet, it is going to be a much better prospect than, in my opinion, taking a 3v3 up against Flat, where they have a defensive advantage. Fluffy Aimers, not having to deal with any of this, have made their move through Command Center, but Command Center this time, free of a ring console, so they're not going to get any extra information for this. If anything, Fluffy Aimers have only a height advantage on those teams that they would descend on in their way to Cascade.
Teamkämpfe und strategische Entscheidungen in Cascade Falls
01:21:38
01:21:38 Not Moist have found themselves in the eastern buildings of Cascade. By the way, Cloud9 look to have dropped an evac tower and are making their move into the zone. So it's going to be a blind landing for Cloud9 and I'll keep you updated for where they go as Not Moist at the moment, they should be fine. They can see other teams that are going to be arriving a little bit later, but they're not going to have eyes on those arriving dead center right now as Team Liquid are currently in Jurassic Park and they are chasing, they are hunting Vanity by the looks of it.
01:22:06 Das war ein schönes Motherlode, Slowing Vanity, sogar auf den Disengaged, soll das Liquid Alienware gett zu catchen, finish off diese Kills. Yanya hat einen Tickle mit dem Havok, aber nicht tatsächlich gett die Knochen. Er hat sich zu machen, mit dem anderen Team zu machen. Jaguars und Nehzul noch immer noch immer noch, als alle zusammengruppen zusammen. Liquid Alienware hat sich immer wieder gegen eine Reset-Squad zu machen. Vanity könnte sehr wohl bereit sein.
01:22:33 But if Liquid Anywhere can win this fight, they will control the South, but Jaguarez has just gone down. Now Liquid Anywhere did lose a player in the previous game and still were able to get back up to a full three. So let's see if they can do it again in a two versus three here.
01:22:45 No Defensive Cooldown, no Rolling Thunder for Nerzul. Means that Vanity have the opportunity to press this advantage. The full reset worked in their favor. And Stunny manages to stay alive even as damage gets thrown back in his face. On the attempted reset, looks like he's got just enough cover to pop this shield bat. But Vanity are struggling to close this out. Pushing forward for the thirst on Jaguars. Will they get even more? Jay has to be careful not to overextend. Plays with a nice bit of cover around this tree. Crook starts sandwiching.
01:23:15 Ja, und da gibt es noch eine Chance für den Solo-Liquid-Alien-Ware, also nicht all Doom und Gloom.
01:23:33 They're unlikely to be able to replicate what they just achieved in the previous game of getting back up to a three and then going on to win the entire thing with an incredible amount of kills. Instead, they're going to have to just try and rat out, try and survive. There's always the option of going for a little bit of an ambush and picking up the pieces of the two teams that are going to be rotating through this area, but it looks like Vanity are going to get there before Fluffy Amos, and sadly, no chance of an ambush because it is thwarted instantly with the scan.
01:24:00 This doesn't look like a particularly good position to be in. Stunny still hoping for that last knock. Should be able to do it. The last couple shots from the Hemlock do not connect, but this is just extending the fight for Vanity and extending their position as well. They should be able to pick up the kill on Team Liquid, this final knock, but has it...
01:24:20 The zone has shifted as TSM are making a late rotation to the eastern side of Cascade Falls, similarly to where we saw Not Moist a little bit earlier, and TSM are above them. A chance to go in for a listen-in with TSM then and see how they play this one.
01:24:47 Ja, es gibt vier Teams auf der Seite. Die Fuse sind neben uns. Wo ist das Team? Ich glaube, sie sind auf dem Rock. Ist das in der Westen? Ja. In der Westen? Ja. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Das wäre ein Better Walkout. Ich weiß nicht, wir haben mehr Kill Potenzial von der Startspot.
01:25:14 Ehring a fight to the south would be good, but I don't know what this building keeps gonna do. They might just mirror us as well. Yeah Things like man, it's not broken building or look for her names. We need it will be able to look for her needs here boys, right? Yeah, if we get shot at we can always run to this building here and just walking through the left side drop down here if we have to
01:25:35 Pretty calm couple minutes from TSM, just sitting on top, evaluating their options right now. There's not a whole lot of pressure on either of these squad in Cascade Falls operatively yet. There will eventually be the need to move into the next zone, and that's going to force not just teams like TSM and NotMoist, but Furia and Stallions all out of Cascade Falls.
01:25:58 Und tatsächlich, es ist eine Möglichkeit für die Teams in den Norden, EEC und Native Gaming. Wenn du diese Kampf hast, und du kannst die Gunfire von LG, als Fluffy-Aimers getrennt werden, da ist ein Bild zu spielen, auf der Norden-Side, das niemanden ist, und es könnte die natürliche Position sein, nachdem du gewinnen diese Kampf hast. Aber in dem Moment, Native Gaming wurde zurückgekehrt von der Bang-Alt, und sie müssen hier einfach sein, und sie werden nicht geholfen, dass sie nicht geholfen und geholfen sind, von den Teams auf der Eastern-Side sind.
01:26:26 A barrage of utility being thrown out by Native, and it doesn't look like EEC have a whole lot of cover to work with. With Dany down, we're throwing even more. These are not fuses, by the way. These are just raw nades that Native are carrying around. Vanity go down, we're into the top 15, so EEC have a placement point. Somehow they have a reset, but how much longer can they realistically survive here?
01:26:50 I really think this is going to be a key fight for this endgame, because now the zone is shifting a little bit further north. That one kind of area that's available by the cannon is going to be one of the more ideal spots that teams are going to try to play as we get to said endgame, as now they confirm two of the kills. The one remaining player from EEC is going to retreat, but Native Gaming now hold this northern side and arguably one of the better spots in the game right now alongside LG.
Konvergenz der Teams und entscheidende Kämpfe um die Zonenkontrolle
01:27:1601:27:16 Since like you said, now Native have priority on the Gravity Cannon, one of the few places that will have cover later in the game. It'll be a pivotal area of the map to keep our eyes on, but we've still got to wait for teams from Cascade who could throw a wrench in these plants, especially if you're running Catalyst and you have the opportunity to gap close into where Native are without being shot at by other squads. So not moist, we checked in a little bit earlier.
01:27:43 Wir haben einen Schrapp gegen TSM, niemand kamen aufzunehmen und der Kampf war nicht wirklich gut. Sie werden jetzt gegen Bleed kämpfen, aber sie müssen wissen, dass TSM kämpft sie früher und sie werden mit diesem Engagement kommen können. Und hier sie kommen, TSM sind zu sein, TSM sind zu sein, TSM sind zu sein, TSM sind zu sein, und es wird nun mit Bleed und TSM, und wir haben Empire in den gleichen Bereich.
01:28:06 Everybody's just converging on one singular point in the map. One that isn't even in zone, I might add. Bleed go down, TSM swoop in, cleaning up the rest, if not moist, but are now eating zone 4 and have very few opportunities to adapt to any other squad that would gatekeep them. Empire have already thrown a couple grenades their way. C9 lie in wait along this rotation for TSM. And I'll be honest with you, Gaskin, I do not see TSM coming out of this alive.
01:28:32 Ja, es wird so schwierig werden, denn sie müssen jetzt eine Souther-Rotation machen, durch drei verschiedene Teams. Und sogar wenn sie durch diese drei sind, sind zwei andere Quatschen in der Bühne stehen. FURIA wird auch noch ein guter Wettbewerb werden. Sie sind auf dem Far-Eastern-Side. Es sind Natives Gaming und LG und sie sind in fronten von ihnen. Und dann, wenn sie in die Natives-Gaming gehen können, sie sind in einem tollen Ort, wenn sie in die Natives-Gaming gehen können, sie sind in einem tollen Ort, als wir zurückkommen zu TSM, die nicht überwunden sind. Und es könnte die gleiche Situation für Empire und Cloud9 sein, die genau die gleiche Sache machen.
01:29:01 Seems to be true, Bursty doesn't even make it into Ring, that last tick taking him out. And instead, it is Complexity, Oblivion, and a couple members of Cloud9 who all coexist in this building. It really only has one level.
01:29:14 But just below it, it's got a basement, it's got a roof. Everybody seems to have, at least for now, a little bit of space to play. This whole south side, extremely crowded now, and you and I both know that Native are watching over this, and you've got to imagine they're having a great time watching. Native are going to be delighted with how this zone has been going. By the way, Cloud9 even getting into this position earlier with that evac tower just shows that the blind evac was a beneficial one, and they certainly made the right call with it. Disguised, who...
Native Gaming sichert sich den Sieg in einem umkämpften Spiel
01:29:43
01:29:43 Sie waren gestrugging earlier, Designfall war es so, wie es all going to be Doom and Gloom war, aber sie sind wieder auf einen Fall 3. Suddenly, sie sind auf Red Armour, und sie finden sich auf den Southwest. Aber sie sind bei Temper, und die beiden Teams, zusammen mit den drei anderen, werden alle von den Southwestern verletzten, wo sie beobachten von LG, beobachten von Native. Ihr müsst, dass Either Native oder LG gewinnen, wenn wir etwas Besonderes sehen, von einer dieser Southwest-Squat.
01:30:08 I haven't even seen anyone really move up to and take control of the Gravity Cannon we talked about earlier yet. Complexity, aren't really going to have the opportunity to do it. There's no way to safely cross, and I'm expecting we'll see Catalyst walls galore, but with no real way of predicting who will come out on top, who will survive, it'll be up to, I suppose, the Apex Legends Gods, the Ring, whatever it may be, whoever...
01:30:33 Or whatever you pray to, now is the time to start doing it if you're in this lobby and trying to make it another two spots. Yeah, try and keep up with this killfeed because we've got four teams all gonna be scrapping against one another. Disguise do go down, Cloud9 making their move, NGL also get eliminated, and suddenly now the ring starts to get involved as well as the ultimates as Cloud9 down to two.
01:30:53 Und wir werden nur noch nicht verlieren. Wir werden nur noch 5 gewinnen, als Oblivion geht. C9 geht um ein paar Kills, Schildswap noch zu kommen. Und Native hat endlich geöffnet. Snipe down, Gatekeeping alle, Trempe, Trempe, Trempe, C9 und Complexity Fall, als wir uns in der finalen 3v3. After all das, Gaskin, es ist Native vs. LG. Und wer hat das gedacht, mit den Positionen sie sich in? Ich sagte es, es war ein Pivotal-Fighter für Native, und jetzt wollen sie...
01:31:23 Sie sind auf diese Dammage. Sie sind auf L.G., zu versuchen, L.G. zu erreichen, denn L.G. sind so weak, und sie haben ihre Tails zwischen ihren Legs hier. Sie sind bereits da, und jetzt wie das, mit der nice Use-A-Head-Peak-Native-Gaming, die eine der cleanesten Apex-Legends-Imaginable-Games sind. Sie waren nicht wirklich in eine Substanzial-Riske. Sie haben sich nicht in 20 Meter von einem anderen Squad. Sie sind einfach...
01:31:49 watched the game happen in front of them, picked up a few kills, and walked away with the win. Well, a great opportunity from Command Center for native gaming. I mean, with a zone like that, you always have that opportunity to get into one of the priority positions, but it was about holding out, waiting for a little bit more information, waiting to see where that circle shifts to, and the big fight they won on the northern side to give them one of the more commanding spaces from Command Center. They are going to be now delighted with that victory, and a victory that I think...
01:32:16 They needed, right? A little bit of a confidence booster. They've been through a lot, have Native Gaming. The pickup of Snipedown, of course, a very legendary player in any FPS title and the expectation from many of his fans probably to be on a top roster. Well, now Native Gaming, they get a victory and I'm sure they're going to be thinking, all right, well, this could be the start of the momentum we so desperately needed.
01:32:37 And we're seeing a lot of experience here as well. When we think about the pivotal fight that you mentioned during the mid-game, EEC versus Native, the very fact that Native are the ones to come out on top of that in large part has to do with the fact that EEC didn't fight for it. It takes a lot of experience, a lot of gameplay, a lot of...
01:32:54 Ja, und wir sehen also den Vorteil des Zon-Heavy-Team und zu einer dieser Position eher und predicting...
01:33:21 ...where that zone is going to be going. LG held that building for so long, and it rewarded them with a guaranteed top two, essentially, because there were so many teams that were arriving from the southwest in the end, and they were able to pick up KP from their position as well. And I'm sure Native Gaming, plenty to work with. So both these teams are going to be pretty happy, more so Native Gaming. 21 points on the board to shoot them up the leaderboard and start to catch the likes of Liquid Alienware.
01:33:46 And this is just game 2. I mean, native gaming could just, they could take off in this series if they want to, if they can keep this up operatively, of course. C9 coming just behind with 10 points, but Temper, after picking up a lot of kills in the mass exodus from south of Cascade, actually come out looking pretty good as well. A very important match day for Temper, who are a team that do struggle, or rather have struggled in the last split, have gotten a little bit better this split, and keep themselves off the bottom of the league.
01:34:16 Das ist eine sehr gute Rewardung für den Effort.
01:34:37 Always tough when a circle shifts away from you if you had predicted that it was maybe going to be moving a little bit further east, but certainly those who committed to the early Cascade Falls push were rewarded for it. We saw TSM have a bit of a struggle on that eastern side after arriving a little bit later. NotMoist also doing the same thing, arrived a little bit too late to the party, and sadly there were just too many players there to try and find any sort of chance of getting into the zone and finding a victory.
01:35:05 Many of our teams getting caught up in the fight for Jurassic as well. We've got a lot to look forward to for these teams maybe finding their way back and, of course, for the overall leaderboards that we'll be demonstrating after the break. So get a drink of water, everyone. Get ready because game number three is coming at you right after this.
01:36:57 Justin Miller ist der offiziell Partner der Apex Legends Global Series.
01:37:07 Ja, sehr clear decisions that were made from them and very important fights that were won on that northern side. And they didn't overextend at any point and kind of get caught out, one of them pushing when the rest of the team maybe wasn't expecting it.
01:37:33 Sie können sehen, dass sie alle auf der gleichen Seite waren. Und sie bekommen ein sehr vieles Wunsch, ich würde sagen. Für eine squadre, die vielleicht nicht den Erfolg haben, dass sie viel haben. Aber vielleicht könnte das eine neue Seite für Native Gaming und Native Gaming-Fans werden. Es gab Teams wie Cloud9, die sehr schwierige Rotation hatten und noch in die Final-Circle hatten. Aber es war immer LG vs. Native Gaming in die Final-Circle.
01:38:01 Sadly, for LG, they just took so much damage when they got into that final 3 versus 3. And Native Gaming, what they did so well is they pushed their advantage as soon as possible. Naturally aggressive players who know when to be pressing, know when to be pushing up, and they were able to be rewarded with it.
Spielergebnisse und Team-Dynamiken nach zwei Runden
01:38:17
01:38:17 Well, here is the series results. This is how things look after two games. No surprise to see the two top teams in the way that they are in arguably the top three teams after the win that we saw coming from Native Gaming. LG been inside of that top five for the first two games. 10k feet to go alongside it. Liquid Alienware with their big win in game number one still holding on to the top spot. But as we keep saying, not a huge amount of daylight, although it does look like a little bit of a gap could open up. If LG or Liquid Alienware have a good game in this game number three down, they could separate themselves in the back just
01:38:47 Ja, ich denke, mit der ersten Elimination von Liquid Alienware, oder zumindest mit der ersten Kill, von zwei Spieler, so es war einfach nur für den Rest, es machte sich die anderen Teams zu fassen. Aber wir wissen, dass Liquid Alienware ist, und ich denke, dass alle anderen in der Lobby sind, müssen sie wissen. Wir haben nicht wirklich gesehen, wie ein großes Spiel von LG, aber wir wissen, dass das auf der horizon für sie ist, denn wenn sie nicht gefunden haben...
01:39:13 Surely one is still yet to come, and that could just create a gap for them at the top of the leaderboard as well. Yeah, interesting to see that endgame as well. You saw that LG just didn't have really... They tried to kind of make themselves a little bit bigger, tried to play one of the head glitches. The only problem was that there were some really good shots coming in from Rambo that were kind of pinning Funk and Sykes back, and Sweet just gets a little bit isolated due to...
01:39:32 Die gute Arbeit kam aus Rambo auf dem High Ground. So ein Shoutout für ihn, für ihn zu machen, dass er nicht seine Augen hat und seine Rettung auf die beiden Spieler gehalten. Dann haben sie einfach gehalten, das 1-player-Suite gehalten. Der Rest ist sehr, sehr einfach für ein Team mit so viel Erfahrung. Auf der anderen Seite sieht man ein bisschen slow start für die Likes von Bleed, Esports, TSM, Furia und Complexe. Man kann vielleicht noch nicht Moist in das Gespräch sein, aber noch 4-Games-To-Go hier.
01:39:59 Als wir von den letzten paar Wochen auf den LGS haben, ist es ein paar Apex zu spielen, das bedeutet, dass es ein paar Worte zu spielen gibt. Ja, und mit einem Clear-Leader an der Moment, mit niemandem gewinnen, oder zwei Big-Games, es bedeutet, dass eine große Game für dich kann auf den Topf der Leaderboarden senden. A Victory, wie wir von ExoClan gesehen haben, von Skyhook West in Emeer, früher heute.
01:40:23 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Und das war's für heute.
01:40:50 I do like one large game, by the way. One large game. I was thinking it could be chanted in the same way. You know we have Match Point and someone clutches and we get another game and the whole crowd usually chants, one more game, one more game. I was trying to see if one large game fits into that. And honestly, it doesn't really do it. It sounds a bit weird to try and force that in there. But hey, the ALGS crowd is always very creative and we're going to have to see what they come up with next time when we get to the split two playoffs. But we've got to get there first. So we've got to find out where teams, of course, are going to be joining us as well before we head back into Storm Point.
01:41:19 We've had, I would say, a north central zone so far. We've also had one that was fairly central as well, I would say, in that endgame as well. No kind of extreme edge POIs have been a part of that endgame yet, which has made it pretty tough for the southern teams to really get some points on the board, apart from, of course, if you're Liquid Alienware, who just kind of rewrote the rulebook a little bit in that game number one. Yeah, it's been rewarding some of the central zone teams who have been picking those POIs, and those POIs get picked for a reason, because...
01:41:44 you are more likely to be able to get to said final circle with the possibility of them pulling to the middle of the map. But yeah, Liquid Alienware are the ones who change it. They're the ones who can be a little bit different, and they're the ones who have been able to pull for victory here. Yeah, very, very good stuff from the teams at the top at the moment. Still not that win on the board for LG, although we are being hypercritical, of course. We want to see if they can close out a few more of these games, these endgames that they get to, and they haven't managed to quite get over the line, even though two pretty good opportunities presented themselves.
01:42:13 Again, very happy with the points they've got on the board at the moment. They've done a really, really good job of navigating to some of these end zones and performing well with some kills alongside it as well to put them in that second place at the moment. But elsewhere, I'm looking at, like we say, the other end of the leaderboards. It seems like, you know, a couple of teams struggling to find a little bit of momentum here. And if you're wondering, by the way, why we're just taking a little bit of time to get into the game.
01:42:34 Ja, I mean, Eternal, who picked SkyWest first, for example, they ended up with Northpad as their selection.
01:43:02 Northpad being selected, when you've already seen Trident be taken a little bit earlier, with Down Beast being taken as well, it means that you are not going to have very much space to be able to play, and we know that Northpad maybe is not the more desirable POI for terms of loot and for rotations. You're only really going to benefit if you see a hard pull too.
01:43:22 ...to that pad. And sadly, we've not seen it as of yet. So it's been a really tough time for them. But at the same time, when they get over to World's Edge, they are in arguably the best POI. And that's what POI Draft offers us. It means that you'll get teams who are very good on one map and maybe not very good on the other. Or you've got the current teams who are leading the charge who have got those middle points. Two, like, okay POIs. I don't know about you, but...
01:43:46 If I was involved with the POI draft, of course it is randomly selected each time and you on average will pick similarly as everyone else does throughout the entire season. But I would like the ones where I get to pick like in 19th and 22nd, for example. I'd like to have two good ones. It actually reminds me of Settlers of Catan. If you've ever played the board game Settlers of Catan and you choose your starting locations, I like to pick 4th and 5th just so I can make sure I'm in a good spot.
01:44:11 Never played that game, never will. I play Apex Legends, that's what I do. But anyway, speaking of Apex Legends, let's have a look at the overall leaderboards for the season at the moment to see essentially where we are, right? Because we kind of get caught up in the match days, we get caught up in the games that are going on, a lot of stats, a lot of numbers get flying around. But this is essentially qualification, right? If you finish inside certain spots, are you going to land? That's a simple way to put it. So Team Falcons at the top, we understand that they have completely separated themselves from the rest of the pack, thanks to a...
01:44:40 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal.
01:45:09 Ich will sagen, in 3rd place. LG ist hinter dem und haben einen guten Tag so far. Und es ist interessant zu sehen. Du hast drei Teams hinter dem, Dan. Tied auf 46 Punkte. So extremelig tight. Und wenn wir dann zu den letzten Wochen haben, wird es sehr, sehr nerve-racking für diese Teams, wenn es um die Qualität für die 2-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split-Split
01:45:34 Falkons und TSM. Sie sind beide zu Play-Offs jetzt mit der Position. Aber ich bin sehr interessiert. Du hast die TSM-Heavy-Kroud. Oder du hast die Falkons-Heavy-Kroud jetzt? Weil die Imperial HAL-Fans sind. Es wird ein sehr interessantes Dynamik werden, wenn wir zu Play-Offs kommen. Und wenn wir diese Teams schauen, wo die Fan-Base liegt. Aber ja, SSG ist auch in 2nd Platz auf 61.
01:45:59 Ich glaube, sie sind nicht garantiert, denn sie könnten noch niemals kommen. Aber mit der Art und Weise, sie brauchen eine Average von Top 16. Wir sehen uns immer wieder, und wir wissen, dass Spacestation haben eine sehr HARDCORE-Fanbase.
01:46:19 Ja, sie sind eine der besten in der Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business-Business
01:46:41 A day, a first game of the day, where you play like this, and every fight you take, all of a sudden you're winning it, you get a good reset as well a little bit later in the game, which keeps you as a three. You feel like you're on top of the world, right? There's nothing you can do wrong.
01:46:55 Ich fühle mich dieses Spiel für ein Team wie Liquid Alienware, die auf der Momentum leben, die auf der Winning big Teamfights sind, ist so wichtig für sie zu bekommen. Especially bei jedem Zeitpunkt. Aber wenn man es early auf geht, dann wird es alles einfacher. Und ich habe wirklich zu sehen, dass wir das Spiel wiederholfen haben, weil wir Jania nach unten sehen, als Stormcatcher. Und dann, die nächsten Mal sehen sie, sie sind auf der Norden Seite der Zone. Sie haben eine der besten Positionen, und sie entweder, als wir assume, kannonned oder tooken Evac Tower. Und ja, es wäre schon ziemlich blind, es wäre schon ziemlich riskant.
01:47:25 But they were rewarded for said risk because they're a team who can confidently take a 3v3 fight. Some teams would not have made that play because they thought, look, if we're landing...
01:47:35 And there's a team already up there. We probably are in a detrimental position and we might struggle. I think Liquid Alienware, they say screw it. We believe that we can take on any fight. They are such an incredible fighting team to watch. And I love watching their gameplay with how well they push together and really just all being synced with the idea of how to play Apex Legends.
Team-Performance, Strategie und die Bedeutung von Momentum
01:47:55
01:47:55 You mentioned Team Alienware looked very synced together, looked very confident, looked like they're playing for each other. Well, you could argue on the other side of that, there's been a team who's kind of been struggling with that in recent times. We mentioned a little bit of a team change. Timmy's gone out and Zeratricky's come in.
01:48:10 There's been some really emotional moments from Designful as well, you know, really, you know, putting himself out there a little bit, saying and explaining a lot of the stuff that he's gone through. And DSG, I feel like today, maybe that there's a little bit of confidence coming back. Maybe we haven't seen the big games from them. Maybe we haven't seen the huge wins, but...
01:48:26 At least they're consistently putting a few points on the board every game at the moment. And it's not getting to game six where it's like, well, we need to win in order to have a good game day. And I think one of the reasons for that is, you know, some of the plays that Design4 has made today. We've actually got a little clip from what we saw earlier. So let's take a look.
01:48:47 So this is the, I think it was a 1v3 actually, that actually ended up happening here down in this situation. This was against, I think it was Tempo, who were up here at the top side of where the zone was going and Design4 leaves itself in a 1v1 and when we were casting this you said you always fancy Design4 in a 1v1 and you were right. Yeah, well I mean he's just one of those players, isn't he?
01:49:06 I tell you what, it says a lot. If a player is playing Wraith in a competitive lobby, there's a reason why they are playing Wraith, and it is for comfort, it is for a genuine belief that Wraith can be the difference maker, not necessarily for the team, but for you as an individual. Now, I have questioned the Wraith pick quite a few times, to be fair. I don't know how much it offers to a team. I think it is very niche scenarios where the Wraith benefits the team, but as an individual, there are way more benefits. There are a lot of scenarios where it can pay off, and I think...
01:49:35 Having that ability to be able to queue out and maybe having that in your back pocket and maybe the ability to get the portal down to save teammates as well just gives you a little bit more confidence in an engagement because you have that escape route and Designful confidently faced that 1v1, well 1v2 it was in the end and he was rewarded for it. Sadly they got third partied in the end but for Disguised I mean it's...
01:49:57 A difficult journey for them. They're going to need an average of, what, 14, 15 points every single match week that we see them compete in now. So they're going to need to finish fifth or sixth every time they play. And that is a consistent value that can be achieved, but is not an easily achievable one. It's not easy achievable. When you say it like that, it sounds almost a little bit more realistic. It's not like they're going to go into every match they're thinking, oh, we need to come first or second, or it's over, right? I mean...
01:50:23 There's still a chance. It's a thin chance. It's a slim chance. It's a kind of grasping at straws a little bit kind of conversation. But at the same time, it's for a team like, you know, with the experience that we've seen, what they've done at LANs, how they've left it late and still managed to qualify sometimes, there's still an opportunity for them to do so. And I think that no one's going to know that more than them. I think it's a lot of pressure on their shoulders, maybe, for every single game day that's coming up. But also, I think one thing that might actually help them, as crazy as it sounds, is like...
01:50:51 If you say you need to get fifth and sixth every single week and there's five, six weeks left or five, six match days, then you're like, oh, that's a big ask. But the fact that match days are kind of slipping away, it's like, okay, it's all or nothing. Like if we get fifth or sixth today, then we've only got to do it a couple more times. And we are in a position where maybe we qualify for land. So when you start to have those conversations and kind of reframe, you know, move the goalpost slightly to something that feels and sounds a little bit more achievable, then...
01:51:17 Ja, ich meine, manchmal die Stars kind of line.
01:51:42 ...
01:52:01 It will really help your chances of getting to LAN. You might not have had the consistency. You might have had all things go against you, but then you need to make it count when things do start to go your way. And I think that that goes back to my point about POI draft. You will have weeks where you get pretty rough POIs, ones you're not really happy with, ones maybe you haven't practiced with, and you're not going to get the points that you would expect. But then when you do get that day where you get exact POIs that you have desired all tournament long, then you have to make it count. Then you have to be at the top of the leaderboard.
01:52:30 Das war unser Moment, und wir haben es geschafft.
01:52:59 You know, they have done their best. That's all I can say because it looks like we've got some gameplay coming your way. Thank you so much, of course, everyone at home who's watching at the moment for bearing with us. But good news, we've got match number three live by the looks of things. Good news, everyone. There is a match that is being loaded.
Strategische Überlegungen und Team-Anpassungen im weiteren Verlauf des Wettbewerbs
01:53:16
01:53:16 Und ja, ich möchte noch einmal sagen, vielen Dank für uns, vielen Dank für uns, vielen Dank für uns zu hören. Aber wie immer, wir haben uns immer noch ein paar Gespräche, und ich hoffe, dass ihr euch nicht zufrieden habt, was wir hatten zu sagen. Aber jetzt, Nummer 3 ist ein wichtiger Punkt, denn es ist die letzte Zeit, wir sehen uns Stormpoint für diese Teams zu spielen. Also, für diejenigen, die guten POIs, die Likes von Flat, die Likes von Oblivion, Not Moist und Furia, können sie machen es counten und sich in eine gute Position.
01:53:45 before they go into arguably worse POIs on World's Edge.
01:54:12 Es ist immer gut, wenn du ein Spiel gewonnen hast, wenn du ein Spiel gewonnen hast. Du denkst, okay, cool, wir sind gut. Wir werden den Spiel gehen, wenn du willst. Wenn du vielleicht in den BOTTOM 20 bist, ist es ein bisschen zu viel Zeit zu denken, weil es wahrscheinlich viel ist. Für Native Gaming, zu garantieren, dass sie sich landen, based auf die Nummern, die auf den competitiveen Subreddit von Zandercommander haben, wird es um 7.
01:54:40 Every single time we see them compete now from this point. Again, sounds achievable. Sounds doable. Yeah, very doable. It's been a while since we've seen Snipe down at Elan, so I think that it would be great to see a kind of return to former glory if he is able to help Native Gaming do that, but there is still a long road ahead of them. Yeah, it's one of those things as well. I say how, you know, you only got to think you've got X amount of match days left and you get one good placement here, then you think, oh, we've only got to do it a couple more times, but...
01:55:07 Ich glaube, es wird noch ein paar Mal machen. Und alle werden das gleiche Mal denken, dass ein paar gute Game Days sind und wir können für LAN gewinnen. Und ich fühle mich das letzte Day of Action ist einer der wildesten wir in lange Zeit gesehen haben. Und hier kommt Lew, einer der Kill-Leaders in der ALGS in Nordamerika. Der Moment ist auch noch ein, als Empire und Bursty, unfortunately, für Prowl, die Prowler und die Burstfire, das kommt aus dem Lew. Das ist das, was wir sehen von Complexity. Wir sehen uns dann...
01:55:35 Find a bit of a better game with a bit more aggression, because we did see them get to the endgame once, but no kills alongside it, right? It can be one of those games where you find yourself in what you think is a good position, then the zone pulls away and you haven't necessarily found any kills and you just flutter out of the lobby. So I don't blame them for being a little bit more aggressive, looking to try and pick up some kills a little bit earlier in this game. We'll have to see whether they come through.
01:55:59 Well, just looking at the zone at the moment, it looks like it might be a barometer zone from just based upon where everybody is flying into at the moment. Maybe a little bit to the west of it, maybe a little bit to the northwest of it. Maybe where these buildings that we see ourselves being looked at by NGNL is where we will have our endgame. Unfortunately, we don't have our map feed right now, so we'll get confirmation of that as soon as we can for you.
01:56:23 Elsewhere is going to be a continuation of this little poke battle designed for. He's got a turbo on that Havoc as well, but wasn't quite in position to get that knock. Not quite, but at least Disguised are at least going to be in a position where they're not going to be sent on. So that's one of the benefits of having the Wraith and having the Portal available to you as well. Sen does have the Bloodhound Ultimate if they want to use it. And look, with the Portal now coming in, DSG are closing this gap to EEC.
01:56:50 Elsewhere, by the way, I did see that Native were involved in a little bit of a fight as well against Flat. It looks like they got two knocks, so Flat down to one. And probably trying to escape from that fight, as are, of course, the team on the other side of this fight that we're seeing right now. Duskler's trying to chase them down at the moment. It's easy on the other side, but they can't quite get into a position to do some effective damage. You can see Design 4-Way's put the Sentinel away for now, and he's picked up the Wingman. Elsewhere, back to Native Gaming, as Rambo will fall.
01:57:18 And it looks like a continuation of this flat fight. Finally, flat will be eliminated, but that might be the end of the game as native gaming do get third partied by Oblivion. That's going to be our winners of game number two out very, very early in game number three.
01:57:32 Alright, es scheint zu sein. Du gewinnen und gewinnen und gewinnen und gewinnen und gewinnen und gewinnen. Das ist auch passiert bei Liquid, also Native nicht zu werden, aber es bedeutet, dass es die Tür für jemanden zu finden, um einen guten Punkt zu finden, um die resten der Lobby zu treffen. Unless, of course, wir sehen, Liquid Alienware oder LG zu sehen. Aber es bedeutet, dass Eternal jetzt wird, um die Norte zu kommen, um die Norte zu kommen. Und als es jemanden zu warten, um sie in der Chokepoint, welche, ich bin nur so blind, wie sie sind jetzt.
01:58:01 Ich glaube, ich glaube, dass du immer jemanden wirst, und das ist wenn der Bloodhound wirklich kommt. Wir werden unsere Besten für dich. Natürlich, wir haben unsere Map-Overhead jetzt, also wir werden die Observersen uns durch was wir sehen. Und es wird EEC immer wieder weitergehen.
01:58:20 The Skies, who are taking their time over at North Pad at the moment, hit a little bit of Ring Console information to give themselves a better picture of where this zone is going to be going. And yes, indeed, we do indeed know now that it is going to be a zone between Barometer and Seto. This might be one similar to what we saw a little bit earlier, but slightly more south, you would imagine. Maybe finishing around, like we mentioned, those two buildings that are just kind of in North Barometer, kind of slightly separated.
01:58:44 ...und die resten der POI. Und Sie sehen, wer ist da jetzt? C9, sie sind da. Liquid Alienware ist in eine gute Position für sie. Furia ist auf der Ebene zu halten. Und Komplexität ist ebenso zu spielen zwischen Jurassic und Seto. So ein paar Teams haben, ich würde sagen, die Priorität haben. At der Momenten. Elsewhere, though, ich denke, mit den Bildern zu haben, es ist nicht ein enormes Spielraum, das ist das, was wir sehen, die Teams zu spüren.
01:59:10 Playing Gatekeepers, so to speak, on the teams at Arriving Lane. I think we saw this exact zone in APAC North, and it was a heavy Barometer Zone. It actually pulled South, if not South East, of Barometer as well. So we're going to see a lot of teams, when they have Ring Console information, commit to Barometer. Remember Team Liquid landing at Barometer as well, so they'll have a really good opportunity to potentially go on and win this game as LG. Third place at the moment, and we'll have to see whether they can continue their format.
01:59:39 und vielleicht pick up etwas. Aber in der Moment machen sie ihren Weg durch Jurassic. Wir müssen einige Teams versuchen, aber ich denke, dass sie ihre Forschung haben, ihre Studierungen haben, ich denke Barometer ist ein saferer Ort zu kommen, wenn ihr in die Zone seid. Wir sind die Team auf der anderen Seite der Fence-Line, wie wir schon erwähnt haben. Wir haben einen Schatz auf den LG-Line gehalten, aber...
02:00:02 Es wird ein paar Sekunden für sie zu resetten, als sie ein paar Bolle aus den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle, von den Bolle,
02:00:30 Ich habe das Position von Bord, die Zone könnte all den Weg gehen. Die Gebäude, die sie haben, ist direkt neben der Zone in Apec-North. Bord, Cloud9, Empire sind alle in wirklich gute Spots für das hier. Und mit der Konfirmation von wo die Zone ist, es sieht...
02:00:57 Almost identical to what we did see in APAC North. There is still an opportunity. It could shift a little bit further west. So you do have to be careful of that in the kind of watery areas. And teams will maybe have that in mind. But I think Barometer still a very safe bet for some of those buildings on the south side.
02:01:15 Tempura kind of skirting around the edges at the moment and trying to find their way in. They're going to be safe inside of this building, of course, but, you know, what's their rotate going to be after that? Another team who's probably asking what's our rotate now is going to be DSG, as you saw them wrapping through the zone a few moments ago, trying to see if they could force their way towards Godrucker, maybe in that way, but the team was already holding them out. Elsewhere, as we see teams moving from Jurassic towards Barometer a little bit more, TSM, 18 squads still remaining, so only the two teams out of the lobby so far.
02:01:45 Und TSM, obwohl sie jetzt sind, wenn sie 20 Sekunden haben, wenn sie 20 Sekunden haben, und sie wissen, dass sie die Information haben, wo die Zone ist, sie wissen, sie müssen sie machen. Das Spiel muss es sein, und vielleicht könnte es mit etwas Aggression sein. Das Scan kann vielleicht isolieren einen dieser Spieler. TSM nicht wollen, das ist ein sehr smart push, von Zap.
02:02:03 So many players would have just full-on sent it there to try and do something, but they wait, they're patient, they get into the right position, but they still can't quite find the damage. Yeah, try to wall off one of those players as well, and it's a smart idea. Bang, oh, he's doing so much damage, by the way, from TSM. They just can't get the knock, and that's got to be so frustrating for them. As you can see, just two batteries are going to be popped. TSM now are going to try and re-engage themselves. A zapper's popped the beast of the hunting.
02:02:28 The reason for it being a little bit staggered, a little bit stalled, is because this team is just looking into the areas from Barometer, overlooking this fight, and any time you're trying to take a fight and someone else is overlooking it, a couple of 20 damage in the back, a 30 damage, any more than that, and the fight completely flips on its head, and Verholtz is finding that out himself, as all of a sudden, it looks like TSM are going to have to take some time to pop some heals. Yeah, they should be able to reset here, though. It's not going to be too much of a concern with the high ground they currently have.
02:02:55 I think the concern for them maybe is the length of time this fight is taking. They just have to be a little bit careful that no one else is going to be arriving, but if they can push quite soon, they can surround this team. They do have the armor advantage, so they're going to try and take it.
02:03:12 Refs is going to swing here off the back of this Arcstar so we can flush them out. But no, now they've lost the height. You see they have the inside of the building all of a sudden. But height has been taken away by the team on the other side of things. So TSM, just again, it's not good news, everybody. It's a change places this time. Even though Vanity is taking a little bit of damage here, TSM just cannot get this knock. And how long have we been saying this for? Finally, Zap will move and get that knock. But he gets traded out immediately.
02:03:39 This was the worry as well. Another team going to be there and it's going to be Complexity who will hear all this commotion and now full sending it. Do only have the blue armors though, so it's still the risk that this could go wrong, but a great death ball as they all full send it at the same time to get the initial damage onto the first player. That's going to be TSM done. That is the death ball of death balls. That's how you do it. If you're watching at home and you're playing a three stack, if you need to take advantage of one player, you see three players sending it. It's so difficult to get.
02:04:05 ... ... ... ...
02:04:33 There is where your zone is going to be popping. So that's where you can expect to see that endgame. And probably going to finish maybe outside in the water towards NGNL. We've seen that endzone a few times as well. It's going to be a tough one to play. But Liquid Alienware, who are top of the leaderboards at the moment, are feeling, hey, this is great. We like this game. We're in a great spot. Yeah, Liquid Alienware dropping a barometer. Going to be delighted with it. Empire Gaming also in a good building position that I mentioned. But now Tempo on their journey and making their rotation from the northern side here.
02:05:02 It's a good chance for us to check in with Tempo, by the way, because they have an interesting decision to make of where they go with this evac tower. So let's jump into a listening with Tempo.
02:05:15 Wait, do I make it up? Go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right, go right,
02:05:41 We'll climb up right here, okay? Chill, chill, chill, chill. Yes. Come here, come here. Come here right now. They're fighting in there. Just chill in here, chill in here. How many is in here? Is there only two? I'm not sure. I don't know. 20. We got the spot. We got the spot. Can I take this door? I'm watching. Go, go, go. I'm with you. I'm with you.
02:06:03 Well, initially I was a little bit concerned, because the first thing is, wait, do we get over this? As they're just about to kind of leave the balloon, but having made it over and had their questions answered, they actually find a pretty good spot to play. So they've navigated that rotate pretty well, as now Bleed Esports, the newly picked up team, of course, of Shubi, Nox and Drops, well, they're in a very similar position to what we've seen a lot of teams in recently, which is just coming out of Jurassic and trying to look at Barometer and see where they play next.
02:06:30 Yeah, they've not really been able to do much from Zeus Station, but three circles where they've had to make a little bit of a journey, I would say. So it's not really gone their way zone-wise. They move over to Skyhook East when we do go over to World's Edge. So there's still a chance that Bleed can try and do something from there. But sadly, this is not the amount of points they maybe would have expected here on Stormpoint. But that can be changed still in this game if they can find a little bit of success. But first of all, they're going to have to try and get through this squad in front of them.
02:07:01 Well, Algeria in Zone, but quite a long way away from where the next one is going to be. They're down in the basement of Barometer for now. Down in the trenches in more than one way at the moment. Elsewhere, we cast a back end of Eternal EC being eliminated. NGL have also lost one. It was going to be a combination of Noct and I think Team Liquid firing out if you manage to pick up those final pieces of the kills. But one thing you find on a death box which makes a Rotate a lot easier is a Devotion. Give it to the Bloodhound is all I'm going to say right now.
02:07:29 Let him go to work. Let the Bloodhound go to work indeed. As now Cloud9, are they going to try and push up onto NotMoist here? Sorcerer's got a good angle to give information, but the two other players on C9 are kind of in a position where they can very much get swung here. Timmy tries to do the damage, will get a lot of opening damage here for NotMoist.
02:07:49 Also, he gets the first knock as well. He ran through the zone and now Guild goes in, doesn't get the kill though, but surely has done enough damage for them to turn a 2v1 into a team wipe. The only question is, can they keep Guild on his feet here? Can they keep him in the game? And if they can, then I would say their opportunity to maybe progress a little bit longer in this game is certainly the percentages are going only one way. But elsewhere you can see Fury moving in to try and third party this. They know that one player is knocked at the moment. Madness is flying in and not moist.
02:08:18 Will be eliminated and it's Furia who just aggressively pushes. Oh no. Oh, Madness fine. Madness steps on the trapdoor again. That could be pretty painful for them actually. How's he gonna get back up here? Really could. They have to support him. I think he can run around and as long as they've got an angle where they can watch over him and make sure he doesn't get pushed, he should be absolutely fine. Monsoon taking a lot of damage and will go down. Complexity get eliminated. Now there are 10 squads here. Sweet looks like he's gonna be the next one or will he? It's a great...
02:08:46 Es ist eine große Herausforderung, aber NGNL wird endlich
02:09:16 Managed to take him down, but I mean, what a little run that was from Sweet. Solid effort all around, but that does open the door now for Team Liquid Alienware, who dropped a barometer, have one of the central positions with where this zone's going, and seeing both LG and Native already fall. That gap you spoke of going into World's Edge is very much possible now for Team Liquid. Zen, still alive, by the way, and has a chance to be a little old rat. Now, Circle is going to continue moving a little bit further east.
02:09:45 Und Bleed Esport ist eigentlich in ein wirklich guter Spot, als Oblivion, of course, in that building. Although, ich will sagen, Oblivion ist vulnerable zu Grenades, von wo sie sind. Also, sie müssen sich ein bisschen bemerksam. Composition könnte sicherlich helfen, hier. Der SG ist auch still alive. Hier ist es Solo. Could be ein Tall Order, aber ein paar Placement Points. Sie haben ein paar Kills, wir wissen, dass. Moby Respawn wird in, als auch, um einen Team zurück zu kommen, zu einem Team zu vollen Komplimenter-Player hier auf der anderen Seite der Bridge, das ist ein ziemlich guter Platz zu halten.
02:10:12 für ein bisschen Zeitpunkt. Team Liquid wird ein bisschen aggressiv hier auch, das ich nicht, weil sie wissen, dass sie sich nicht mehr zu arbeiten, um das nächste Zone zu gehen. Und vielleicht haben sie einen Öffnung, dass sie nicht in der Moment genommen haben. Oh, Jaguars muss sich sehr aufhören, hier zu füllen, um alles zu machen, um zu machen, dass sie sich nicht aufhören.
Spannende Spielzüge und Teamdynamiken im späteren Spielverlauf
02:10:29
02:10:29 Und das bedeutet natürlich, dass der Fuse-Alt ist, dass der Fuse-Alt wird nicht auf die Zone-Close sein können. Das könnte ein bisschen ein Unterschied machen. Team Liquid Yanya, das ist einfach für sie. DSG's Game wird nicht weitergehen. Wir sind jetzt auf 7. Liquid Alienware, wenn sie gewinnen, wenn sie das Team gewinnen, wenn sie das Team von der Westen können, sie haben eine wirkliche Möglichkeit, nicht nur KP, aber auch walken zu der Zone. Aber Yanya wird von hinterher kommen. Oh, er hat seine Toes geklappt. Als er versucht, dass er über die Wallen, Jaguaris ist zu verabschieden.
02:10:58 The Rez attempt that's coming in as well. He's swinging in. I mean, he's got a huge amount of KP so far today. He might be looking for more as well. Board will be eliminated. The Izzo will clutch up for them as Stallions goes down, but it's just one player alive. He's trying to punch his teammate into zone. It's very rare that you'll get that good of contact on the first effort. I have to say he almost pulled something off. Elsewhere you can see NGNL. They're trying to hold down the bridge at the moment. The Gold Knock again is going to be the bait of so many players.
02:11:21 Das Tempo wird erlangen, und sie sollen hier auch sein können. Wir haben jetzt vier Squads, Enginl, eine von ihnen zu sein. Und es wird Niesel gesetzt werden, und es wird Niesel gesetzt werden. Tempest wird dann auch viel zu tun, von Grenzen zu kommen. Und Sie sehen jetzt, wir sprechen über Dropped und Co. und die resten der Squadron, sie werden Niesel gesetzt.
02:11:43 Oblivion, in that position, in that building on the southern side, will be rewarded with the top 3, but now it's about where do they go. They do have the Dark Veil available to them as well as the Bang ult, so a real opportunity here to zone off one of the teams, potentially ult them as well with the Bang, and then push and get aggressive if they need to.
02:12:01 Should be a pretty comfortable win you would imagine the team on the northern side of this zone knowing that Oblivion have to drop into the open at some point and knowing that Tempest and Cole are going to be there and Janelle are going to be the closest to them so those two teams are going to have to exchange fire so it might be an opportunity for the new pickup boys to be in a position to close a game out here which will present them with some points that they really haven't
02:12:25 Bein able to pick up so far in the games that we've had, a couple of players are going to go down on that low ground as NG now are kind of forced to make their play, but the Bleed Esports, surely this is just a case of moving through the open, cleaning up the pieces of this fight, but I believe you can get it done so quickly that maybe this isn't as simple as they would have wanted. The Bail goes down to try and deny them doing anything too drastic as far as moving through the Catwoman, taking some ground from them, but...
02:12:50 Bleed E-Sport ist sicher in der Position zu bekommen, wenn sie die ersten Wunnen können, um sie zu spielen, um die Rocks zu spielen. Und mit den E-Vo-Vanage zu tun, dann wird es sicher sein. Und look how different die Leaderboards sind mit den Top 2 für Bleed. Ich habe gesagt von Zeus, dass sie sich in den Momenten zu kämpfen haben, aber jetzt haben sie ein Spiel, mit der Realität zu finden.
02:13:07 Really good shots coming in here from Shubi as well, not overextending, making sure he's peeking, making sure he's poking and it will indeed be Bleed Esports who win the 3v3 to win their first game of the day and match number three here in North America. What a game from Bleed and that really puts them in the conversation when previously they weren't in the conversation at all from Zeus, but that is what we were mentioning at the start is you really have to try and have that one game.
02:13:35 Whether you're on Stormpoint, whether you're on Worlds Edge, if you can have one good game, it puts you in the conversation, it puts you up there in the leaderboards, and now Bleed can go into Worlds Edge with a little bit more relief, a little bit more confidence, not chasing the game as much as they would have been had they not found that success. Yeah, really crazy to see the position they want it from, right? They were the last team to arrive from the north through that Jurassic kind of barometer choke that we were talking about, and we were like, hey, this is going to be a really tough rotate for a lot of teams.
02:14:00 Und dann haben wir die 3v3. Und dann haben wir die 3v3. Und dann haben wir einen Armour advantage. Und dann haben wir einen Armour advantage.
02:14:30 So a really good opportunity for them to now shoot themselves up the leaderboard and going into World's Edge. I'm excited to see what they can do from Skyhook East. Because Skyhook West, yes, is one of the best POIs. But if you can make something work from Skyhook East, we have seen actually a lot of teams find a good amount of points from there. So I still think there is a good chance for Bleed to have success today. Yeah, you have to keep the momentum up though, right? And it's almost like you find a little bit of momentum.
02:14:54 Es ist so schwierig in den Momenten zu spielen in den LGS für diese Pro-Teams, weil es so, hey, wir haben eine Form, wir haben eine gute Game gemacht, wir haben versucht, zu close es, und jetzt...
02:15:01 We change over to World's Edge, and then in a couple of game days it's like, okay, now we have a new meta. It really is one of the biggest tests that we've seen of our Pro League teams in quite some time to get through to the split two playoffs and be a part of that huge, huge tournament, of course, that is coming up and one of the flagpole events of the year. Bleed Esports at the top, you see 19 points in total for them. Oblivion in second place for placements. Just the two KP though means when it comes to total points, they're joint fourth for total points with NGNL with their KP and Liquid Alienware with their KP.
02:15:30 Just pipping them to the post.
02:16:00 Es ist ein bisschen ein Worry für NotMoist und TSM. Kein Team hat mich so gesehen, dass sie in ein guter Position gewinnen können. TSM won den letzten Matchday zwischen den zwei Lobbys.
02:16:25 Not Moist, desperately searching for form at the moment, it feels like, as well, when it comes to these Pro League days, and made that big move, and doesn't seem to quite be adding up at the moment as we look at the series results so far, with Not Moist and TSM respects between 16th and 18th. At the other end, that gap has started to open with a performance from Liquid Alienware. They have 39 points now, which is 11 ahead of LG in second.
02:16:45 I think it's more concerning for NotMoist, because they had their first pick being Stormpoint. They picked in 5th, they picked Launchpad, and they've not been able to get the points to represent that pick in the POI Draft. As for TSM, their first pick was Thermal Station on World's Edge, so they were maybe expecting to get more points here on World's Edge, but they do leave themselves with quite a lot to do, being 33 points behind 1st place. But again, after what we have seen from previous teams, whether it be Falcons doing it in North America, whereas ExoClan doing it in Amiga,
02:17:15 Dieya, die große Spiele, die für euch passieren können, kann wirklich eine Chance geben, um auf den Leaderboards zu sein, wenn ihr in einer der anderen Pläne struggled habt. Aber Dieya, eine sehr interessante und spannende ersten drei Spiele von Stormpoint.
Halbzeit-Analyse und POI Draft Strategien mit MinusTempo
02:17:28
02:17:28 It really has been. I'm impressed by the way the leaderboards are sorting out so far because while we have Team Liquid Alienware very far in the lead, I'm noticing a couple teams, Temper really standing out to me as being in the top couple of squads, that is very exciting. But I tell you boys what, we've got a little bit more excitement because it's halftime and while we are transitioning maps, we've also got the opportunity to interview some very special guests. And today's guest, especially if you've been around Apex for a long time, you know him, you love him.
02:17:56 MinusTempo hat den Behind-the-Scenes-Apex für, was seems like forever. Willkommen, Minus, to the broadcast. Hey, everyone. Thank you guys for having me here. It's been a blast just being in Apex. And yeah, no, I just really appreciate you guys having me on the stream. Now, I would count on it that a lot of our audience is familiar with you, but...
02:18:21 Für diejenigen, die vielleicht neu sind, die Apex Legends-e-sports-community sind, möchte ich Ihnen ein bisschen zu erzählen, was es ist, was du in Apex Legends organisieren. Ich weiß, dass du viele Scrims runnest. Du hast auch viele Third-Party-Tournaments und Möglichkeiten für die Leute in Komp, oder in Komp, wo sie nicht möglich sein können. Wie können die Leute in Kompetitive geteilt durch Oversight, durch dich?
02:18:48 So it first started off with just straight up hosting events and scrims for the competitive Apex scene. So anyone who was playing in ALJS Pro League and then as well as Challenger Circuit at times. Just recently, we've added our women's, the women's series as well. And then as of last, as of May,
02:19:16 We added Content Creator Events with the Nessie Cup that took place just before the ALJS Playoff 1 LAN, as well as the Solos Tournament that happened last week. And then we've got another one coming up next week as well, following the new patch that's coming out this coming Tuesday. As far as how to get involved, as a viewer, if you're a Content Creator, then the easiest way is to try and participate in those Content Creator Events.
02:19:44 If you would like to participate in the competitive events like scrims and the competitive tournaments, third-party tournaments, those ones are offered to usually Pro League teams, so ALGS Pro League teams, but then there are times where we also need, we also need slash want Challenger Circuit teams to participate. So if you want to compete, then I would just suggest playing in the ALGS Challenger Circuit.
02:20:12 Building your team and yourself up on that leaderboard will get you invited into those events later down the road.
02:20:21 Awesome stuff. Well, you know, I'm a huge fan of yours. I think you do a lot of work that needs to be, you know, broadcast to everybody because there's people like you who really do kind of keep things running behind the scenes for a lot of the teams and the players here. And I want to talk to you a little bit and kind of change trajectory a little bit and talk about POI draft. And it almost feels like every time I say that at the moment, every time everyone says POI draft, it's like starting to get to this thing where it's like we're saying it a lot. But, you know, you've been someone who's been a...
02:20:47 Behind the scenes doing a lot of this drafting process for various tournaments, for scrims and everything. And I want to talk to you about patterns that you've seen from when the POI draft first came in to where we are now. Are you seeing a shift in any of the POIs on either map that becoming more popular or less popular or what's your kind of take on it? I think at the very start, a lot of teams... So when POI draft was first introduced, a lot of teams essentially just regardless of what place they were in the draft order, they would pick...
02:21:15 POIs they were comfortable with, to begin with. Once we were a few weeks into the POI draft, they would start taking POIs based on loot strength, so whether it was a really strong POI or a really weak POI. And then teams started taking POIs based on whether they could play zone from it or edge. And then the third one is teams started taking POIs based on where the zones were tending to end.
02:21:44 During ALGS matches. So I think I think we're currently at level I would say level one of what POI draft can be. I think once a lot more teams get familiar with this they'll start to incorporate even more strategy into this and then I guess for example you have let's say let's say you have a let's say you have a POI here on the bottom right that's still open but these teams are all edge teams.
02:22:12 But then you know zones tend to end somewhere on the north side. So it's like, do you take a POI like Staging or Stacks, who are both relatively the similar strength, but if you're playing on Stacks, all of a sudden you have to rotate through all these edge teams who will get in your way, right? As opposed to if you're playing Staging, you could easily loot and go north side without running into those edge teams. And if you have more zone teams around you.
02:22:39 Ich denke, dass es in einem Moment weitergeht, wo die Spieler und Teams entdeckt werden, was sie entdeckt. Wie die Teams mit mir spielen, ist es nicht nur, was die Kraft von einem bestimmten POI ist. Ich kann nicht warten, bis das Ganze passiert. Das ist, ehrlich gesagt, wo Analysts und Coaches von bestimmten Teams werden sehr, sehr benötig.
02:23:03 Yeah, I certainly think the POI Draft has been very exciting, and it's just going to develop the further we get into ALGS. Now, you were watching the first three maps with us as well, and I'd love to get your kind of views on what happened in each of them. First match, we saw Liquid Alienware have a fantastic victory with an incredible rotation. Was there anything you saw them do that impressed you, or what do you think of the win they were able to pull out in general?
02:23:26 Um, ich denke, dass sie sehr gut spielen. Und ich denke, eine große Grund für das ist, dass sie auch von Barometer gespielt haben, die letzte LGS-Match hatten. So, even though sie hatten zwei Draft-POI-Draft Quarters, sie hatten Barometer für beide Tage. So, ich denke, sie sind einfach sehr familiar mit dem, und das hat die Zone-2-Ring gezeigt, dass sie, wie die Zone-2-Ring war.
02:23:53 Sie waren bereits used zu der Rotation-Pattern, und das hat ihnen einfach geholfen und endlich gewinnen die Spiel am Ende.
02:24:02 Ja, wir sehen uns, wie du schon erwähnt, es gibt unterschiedliche Pattern in PoDraft. Und eine ist Komfortpicks und Teams finden PoIs, die sie erfolgreich werden können. Und ich denke, das ist der Fall für Team Liquid, bei Barometer South hier. Weil, ich meine, nach in der Zeit, sie immer wieder spielen von der South dieser Welt. Also, ich bin nicht froh, dass sie eine Chance haben. Jetzt, Match 2, wir sehen uns für Native Gaming gewinnen. Wie wichtig ist das für ein Team wie Native, die sich irgendwie durchschnittlich durchschnittlich sind, wenn es um Roster-Changes geht?
02:24:31 Oh Gott, das ist wirklich sehr wichtig für Natives. Nicht nur für eine gewisse Wunschung, und natürlich für heute, dass sie bereits höher in den Standings sind, aber auch für die Wunschung in Nordamerika stehen, wenn sie eine gewisse Wunschung hier machen können, dann wird sie in den 45-ish Bereich.
02:24:55 Und das ist quasi da, wo man sich in die vier Tage gespielt hat, am Ende der zweiten Rund-Robin ist. Also, es ist Massive für Native.
02:25:09 Es ist wirklich großartig für sie und gut zu sehen, dass sie einen Erfolg haben. Aber sie waren sehr schnell in Match 3. Und dann haben wir das letzte Spiel, wo es eine sehr spannende Spiel ist. Und ich fragte mich, ob es etwas in diesem Spiel gefallen hat, oder war es wie du erwartet es? Ich glaube, ja. Ich glaube, dass Bleed geblieben ist. Sie waren mit Deuce landen, und sie geblieben sind. Aber weil die Zone geblieben sind.
02:25:34 Es war ein Vorteil für sie, denn sie waren nicht in den Messen. Und weil sie zwei Teams haben zu verlassen, bevor das letzte Zone zu verlassen war, hat sie eine gewünschte Wünschte, obwohl die Oblivion-NGNL-Fight endet ziemlich schnell.
02:25:55 It was honestly a pretty quick fight, and much like Gaskin, I was on the edge of my seat during that endgame, wondering whether there'd be a bit of an outplay on either occasion. We mentioned something, I believe it was in Game 1, though. Gaskin, you brought up that typically, formerly Luminosity, now Liquid Alienware, have played through the south side of Stormpoint seemingly forever, and because you've been...
02:26:21 Thinking about the POI draft so much tempo. I wanted to ask you a little bit about that. Why are we seeing a team like Team Liquid Alienware play through the south side of the map on edge when things like Lightning Rod and Zeus Station have high ground as well as being on the corner of the map?
02:26:40 I think it's just familiarity with, like, yes, they're gonna, when the zone does end northside, they're gonna have to rotate uphill, but they've played that style of zone rotation uphill on Strongpoint for so long because they landed Pylon, Echo HQ, like, when they were contesting and stuff like that. It's really just that. It's the comfort pick, and not to mention Barometer, I would still say, is a fairly comparable POI to, like, Lightning Rod and Zeus Station.
02:27:11 That's fair enough. Now, I was also wondering, because we've had a couple of games in now, I'm expecting a very PR-friendly answer, I will say, but how are TSM doing right now? What do you see as their strengths, and can we expect a better World's Edge performance from them? Yes to the better World's Edge performance, just because they had picked Thermal first. They were kind of left with very few picks coming into Stormpoint.
02:27:38 So, yes, I hope to see a better performance from them this week. But Group B and C has tended to be a slightly easier group. So I can see them picking up a ton of kills and placements in these last three games. And obviously I'm hoping for that as well.
Einblicke und Erwartungen für die kommenden Spiele
02:27:59
02:27:59 Für diejenigen zu wissen, Minus Tempo ist ein TSM-Affiliated Manager. Oh ja, wir leben in der gleiche Haus, so da ist das auch. Nice, nice. So you can't talk to us. I can literally hear you. I'm going to imagine them walking through right now and going, what did you say? I'm spoiled every game by the time they walk into the kitchen and I'm on that 10-minute delay and I'm like, oh, okay.
02:28:26 Ja, es hat, ich bin sicher, ein Rollercoaster von einem Jahrzehnt, um TSM zu sehen, aber es ist wirklich spannend. Before wir uns gehen, wir haben es schon erwähnt, über die Tournamenten, die du aufbauen kannst. Wo können die Leute finden, um ein bisschen mehr über Minus Tempo zu finden? Ich weiß, wie du streamst hier und da. Ich bin streamen ein paar behind-the-scenes Sachen auf Twitch, auf Minus Tempo.
02:28:53 But if you wanted to just follow all the comp stuff in regards to the ALGS teams and their scrims or the women's comp series, as well as the creator series that we're running every now and then, you can follow Oversight eSport on Twitter without the S at the end because it's character limited.
02:29:16 Everything will be posted on there. Or you can follow myself, which is underscore minus Tempo on Twitter as well. Well, great. Thank you so much. The tournaments have been really fun recently, and I appreciate you coming on at halftime. Have a great rest of your stream, Tempo. Thank you guys for having me. It was really fun. And here's to hoping TSM pulls it out in game four to six.
02:29:39 Alright, fingers crossed as we prepare for games 4 through 6. Now Gaskin, I know you've been around here a while, so I'm gonna release you, go grab some water, prepare for this fourth game, our first on World's Edge, and Onset and I will be here to guide everyone through it. Thank you, see you in a bit.
02:30:02 I like how we leave Dan now. Dan, you may leave. And he's like, thank you. Otherwise, he just doesn't leave everyone. This is what you gotta understand. He just stays there. At events, we have to say, Dan, you're allowed to leave the building now. And he stands up and goes, thank you. And just walks out. He's a very strange human. But, you know, we love him for it. You don't want to miss anything. Like, really, ever. Especially in Game of Apex Legends. I will do my best as soon as I've got a break to go to the kitchen, grab water, and sit back down. Especially when...
02:30:31 ...we didn't have POI draft and people were landing on each other. I mean, so much can happen so quickly in any of these games. Yeah, I think I will say though, one of the things I loved about that Minus Tempo interview is I've never...
02:30:43 There's a lot of ways to watch and experience Apex Legends, but that's the first time I've heard of the kitchen barometer, right? Judging how his boys are doing, it's like, oh, this sandwich is far earlier than I expected. It must be a very poor performance from them. Whereas if he's like, everything's a little bit quiet in the kitchen, we must be putting some points on the board. The boys are locked in. I would lock the kitchen. That's what I'd do. I would provide snacks that I would put in the rooms, water, but you ain't going in the kitchen because you're giving away the results to me. I want to learn for myself what happened.
02:31:12 No news is good news, I suppose. I'm glad we added the snacks and water as well, because otherwise, you know, we're getting to a fine legal standpoint here. Can you put TSM in their rooms until they win a game? The answer may be, I guess we'll have to find out when Minus Tempo is next on Halftime. However, as we move towards World's Edge, we talked about POI Trap, and this is what's going to be coming at you. Of course, south side of the map, still pretty occupied with TSM and DSG landing thermal station and stacks, but...
02:31:41 First pick out of EEC SkyWest. Can't say it's a big surprise.
Strategische POI-Auswahl und Zonenvorteile auf World's Edge
02:31:46
02:31:46 Ja, no surprise. Es ist wie, wer spielt Skywest? Das ist wie, wer geht es zu wählen. Das ist wie, wie stark das POI ist. A sehr gut für Complexity ist, aber es ist ein sehr guter Punkt. Es ist ein sehr guter Punkt, aber es ist ein sehr starkes POI, besonders wenn man einen Southern Zonen hat. Es ist ein guter Punkt für sie, als auch ein guter Loop Pool. Team Liquid Alienware, ich denke, Pick 17 ist, dass sie sehr glücklich mit Countdown sehr central sind, also mit den points sie bereits zu accue.
02:32:15 Ja, ich meine...
02:32:24 Wie gesagt, es ist relativ schnell, relativ flexibel. Es ist immer noch zu mir, dass Team Liquid nicht aus dem Southside spielen. Denn es ist nicht nur Stormpoint, dass sie das auch gemacht haben. Sie haben auch auf World's Edge. Instead, Complexity werden diejenigen spielen aus der alten Landing Spot launch site. Und Furia wird direkt nach der Tür, wie immer. Ich sehe nicht viel Priorität auf Shree, und so es scheint, dass wir immer wieder auf World's Edge kommen, Furia wird das 99% der Zeit.
02:32:51 Ja, und eine Sache ich will sagen auch, ist, ob Siphon fällt, warum niemanden wählt Siphon? Es ist weil Flatt wird Siphon oder so, dass niemanden wählt Siphon oder so. Das ist warum niemanden wählt Siphon. Und sie bekommen das immer wieder, weil sie eine der besten Contesten-Teams sind.
02:33:06 Let's say share Siphon with them. They won't be the most nice of neighbors. But this is where everything is lined up at the moment. This is where all the teams are going to be dropping. And when you're looking at strong POIs, like you mentioned, I mean, EEC, they're going to have a great opportunity for SkyWest to do something. I do like the pick, I will say, from Team Liquid. I think it's something certainly to keep an eye on. But TSM, I think, have an opportunity here to right the wrongs of Stormpoint. Because Stormpoint was not good. It really wasn't good by their own standards. And I think Thermal Station is going to provide them with a...
02:33:33 A very good opportunity to approach a lot of zones fully looted up with a lot of information. So it's an opportunity for them to convert. Now, here's the thing. I don't, I don't, I don't disagree with you. I'm not disagreeing about the thermal point. However, I am going to add in some additional context that thermal has actually been very high pick priority in...
02:33:53 Basically all of the ALGS, it averages being picked around 6th, but when we look at its point average, it's actually among the lowest POIs in points per game, especially when we think about the rest of World's Edge. If you cut out all of the Storm Point Zones, I think there are only maybe one or two.
02:34:14 Ja, ich denke, es ist eine interessante Diskussion, weil man sieht die Stats und die Stats sind, und die Stats sind die Stats, aber dann denkst du, was wir hatten auf World's Edge? Und du denkst, was wir hatten auf World's Edge? Und du denkst,
02:34:40 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
02:35:09 Ich hoffe, dass wir drei Back-to-Back-One jetzt haben, und wir können noch ein paar Bangers in der Zeit haben.
02:35:16 Ich will sagen, Halftime, für all we had a couple of delays early on, this one went pretty quick. So it seems like the servers are feeling better and better. They're getting warmer as the day goes on. Now Bleed in their loop path over here in Sky East will have the opportunity to pick up a nice Evo Harvester before they go without getting too far out of their way. Eternal are on the other side of this in Sky West. We could see a small engagement between the two should Bleed want to move over for the Survey Beacon.
Zonenrotationen und Team-Entscheidungen in Skyhook
02:35:46
02:35:46 Well, if you're wondering why I made a noise like a very small bird that just woke up in the morning, it's because I just saw what the zone is going. And we are going towards Skyhook by the looks of things. And surprise, surprise, we're going to Skyhook, right? Because we have seen a lot of Skyhook zones. But when you're looking at teams who are going to be happy, Bleed Esports, of course, you won that last game. They're going to be very, very happy because it looks like it might be pulling...
02:36:06 Und in Day 2 of the North American Pro League.
02:36:36 We had a Skyhook endzone that both, firstly Team Liquid and also Vanity and also Flat were able to do very well in from their respective POIs. Liquid arguably have an even bigger advantage since this time they're not rotating in from launch site and instead are right next door in Countdown. So it's got to feel nice to move to a part of the map that you're unfamiliar with and have such a boon right next door. Yeah, it's almost like, you know when the POI trap happens, there's probably some few conversations like, are you sure?
02:37:05 Ich glaube, wirklich? Ich glaube, ich glaube, das ist wirklich gut. Ich glaube, das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles. Das ist alles.
02:37:33 Whenever we talk about Skyhook Zones, dear, it's like, yeah, you might have great priority to a Skyhook Zone, but with the amount of playable floors, playable spaces, I also feel it's one of the most difficult to convert unless you are that team who can play the top of Trials for quite some time. I'd have to agree, but I'll have to take a break before the rest of it, because Eternal...
02:37:53 I got a little bit worried for Yanyu there, because he kind of put, he was the, everyone else kind of retreated, right? Niazor and Jaguarez were like, oh, we're getting shot at the side, we're going to get back to the building and...
02:38:20 Jani was in there. He was like, where'd you go? Okay, I'll come back, no problem. And it seems like everybody has kind of just taken a moment to reset here. So no losses on either side. Arkeen overextended a little bit to see if he could do something. And it's only Eternal with the solo Danny alive, who is going to find out in about three seconds sign that here comes Team Liquid. Does drop away. And as you prophesied, the kill does go down.
02:38:44 Nice pick up for LG, who managed to get a reset in all that time. It is honestly a miracle, looking at this from the outside, that neither of these two teams went down to the third party of Liquid Alienware. The fact that they're both alive defies all odds, but Skyhook is that stereotypically conservative zone, and it's one of the reasons why, as you were talking about earlier on set, it's difficult to capitalize on Skyhook zones, even when it pulls near you, because there are so many teams that are able to survive for so long, that when you're eventually for...
02:39:14 There's normally very little that you can do to control all the variables around you. There's one thing you can do that we saw in EMEA from Cybercats, remember?
02:39:23 Ja, das stimmt.
02:39:49 Komplexy war ein Blick auf das, und jetzt haben sie versucht, ein paar Sekunden zu sehen, als sie die K.P. gehen in nur einen Weg, keine Exchanges, keine Nox-Being-Exchanged, so Komplexy denkt, das ist nicht ein Safe 3rd zu machen.
02:40:00 I'd love to see the continuation of this rotate from Flat as well. Commit to the staging move, maybe get a ring scan there, and you can move up through Mirage if you want, but doubling back onto Complexity, especially once they've found a scan on you, is risky, and Flat will have to be very careful about how they move, even as we see, with our omniscient information, that Complexity have disengaged. We'll bleed the winners of our previous game on Stormpoint. They're in one of the prior positions. Stallion's eliminated, by the way, by the...
02:40:30 Habit of Funk, Retsy, the last player standing, unfortunately will just be nothing short of a death box for now. But Bleed Esports, they're playing market and they're split holding this building as well. So when you're looking at, you know, we'll throw it back to an old Hodzik principle, right? The deep pocket principle, DPP, call it whatever you want, right? And it's playing the right deep side of the zone where you've seen zone one, you see zone two, you have that info and your players deep in where the two are kind of connecting and keep the traffic in front of you. Well, they're in that spot right now. They're going to have everyone arriving in front of them. They have market, they're split holding that building for as long as they can.
02:41:00 Try and force teams away and try and play and keep as much space as they can towards the endgame. It's just one of those times that I'm struck by deep beauty and appreciation and love for another human being. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Also having watched the Hodzik Deep Pocket Principle video. That is like such a throwback. Oh my god.
02:41:24 Oh my god! You guys have to go back and watch those. Look up Hodzik Bob reviews. It is...
02:41:34 Honestly, so much fun to watch, and you can get a lot of really good insight, but even still, for as old as those VOD reviews are, really do carry forward to this day of Apex Legends, because a lot of it is fundamentals of Battle Royales that a lot of teams here are exploiting right now. You talked about Bleed, certainly one of them. We may get to see a couple of teams, especially in Skyhook, inherit each other's positions as each goes on an aggressive push as well, something else that Hotzik loves to touch on.
Kämpfe um Positionen und riskante Rotationen in Skyhook
02:42:00
02:42:00 Das ist durch den Thinner Oxygen von den High Skies. Und sie finden ihren Weg in den Re-Spawn Beacon Building, in der Mitte der Skyhook. Sie werden für die nächsten Zone gegründet werden. Sie sehen, dass sie auf der nächsten Spiel ist. So Stage 1 der Rotate ist complete. Sie sehen, sie haben auch die Purple Armour auf dem Board. Sie sind sehr froh, dass sie ein paar Fälle nehmen können.
02:42:25 Die Central Structure und all die Teams stacken auf einen anderen, ich meine, ich kind of coined es als die Cake, mit den verschiedenen Layers, die wir haben, die Teams sandwiched auf, ist ein sehr schwierig zu machen. Und es wird ein paar gute Callen kommen in von Monsoon und Lue hier zu versuchen, zu versuchen, ihre Weg durch Skyhook zu versuchen. Es ist so eine tough, tough Zone, ich will sagen, Skyhook, zu versuchen, von einem Spot zu den anderen. Es braucht viel Brainpower und viel Firepower, auch.
02:42:50 I can't say I've ever seen a sad cake in this particular case I will say that some of those are certain to be found I was gonna say you've never had an uber eats cake which has arrived upside down oh god so yeah I've seen some sad cakes in my time
02:43:05 Okay, that means that we have some experience here, because there are going to be some more sad cakes when we move over towards Skyhook, especially as this ring has been determined that it's no longer pulling all the way further into the northwest and out of all those buildings. There are going to be some buildings that are better than others, but we're going to have to hold the thought as double headshots out of Timmy put a stop to the flat push.
02:43:27 I mean, that's one way to stop it, right? I mean, just honestly, just give him Double Sentinel at this point, Timmy, because I'm not seeing him miss too many bullets. And it's not just missing bullets. He doesn't miss anything.
02:43:37 Ja, das Mann ist ja, das Mann ist ein Gamer.
02:44:07 Loses himself in the sauce. The elevator not quite doing him any favours. Disguised go down. Complexity reset and thankfully managed to stay alive at Skyhook. There's another example of the ankle biters coming in, right? It's not the first time today we've seen someone knock just as they feel like they're going to get over the ledge, get back up to that second floor or just get over a fence and the ankles just get clipped. But Complexity will hold on for now. Flat now making their way through the vault tunnel. My goodness, Nano!
02:44:35 Hello. And goodbye, Furia. Flat just wandered into a couple kills. And how serendipitous is this? The last time we saw Flat, they were going to push Moist. They got double Senti headshotted and rotated this way. It seems to have gone pretty darn well for them.
02:44:53 Ich glaube, dass Nano das auch escapes und es nicht gepackt wird. Flatt hat eine sehr gute Plot-Armour gemacht. Ja, ich wollte sagen, du hast es gut gemacht. Du hast es gesagt, das letzte Mal gemacht, und dann plötzlich wird sie getötet von Sniper. Und dann wird es wieder passieren. Aber Nano einfach nur gesagt hat, okay, ich komme zurück. Es war nicht so gut.
02:45:12 Ich glaube, es ist ein bisschen panisch über die Situation. Er sauntert mit ein bisschen Swag und hat sich aufgewachsen. Tempo wird das wie ein hawk mit dem Kray, aber wie du erwähnt. Flatt wird es auswählen, von diesem Tunnel, nachdem das ist ein sehr schwerer Weg für sie zu machen. Aber was wird sie von hier machen? Wollen sie durch den Stagigen und Countdown und versuchen, das ist ein sehr schwerer Weg?
02:45:36 Do they go all the way, the long way to the east and wrap all the way around to the other side of Skyhook through Grandmas? It's going to be an interesting decision for them to make. I really wouldn't mind the Grandmas Rotate actually, if they can get it. I don't know the ring timer at the moment, but once we get that, I mean, there's a chance that they're able.
02:45:54 To find a cool rotate and really interesting, unique one. One, say, like TSM is going to have to make with only 30 seconds left on this zone closed. Now we've got the info. TSM don't have a whole lot of verticality. They've certainly been spotted. Let's jump into a listening with them to see how they take this fight. No, let's walk up. There's only 15 teams now.
02:46:16 I just don't know if we can get an evac off from that spot. Uh, yeah. Alright, you wanna try it down? Where do we want evac to? I'll just bootle. Just pop it. We're gonna try to go for something. I'll call it down midflat. Just pop it. Yeah, just pop it. I'm just gonna bootle and we're gonna see it, right? If it doesn't get shot out. We're all to be back in as well. I don't see anything here, bro.
02:46:41 Mark it. Will you land the outside here? Will you land the outside there? Sure. There's an outside fence. I'm just in a second. Hey, bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring
02:47:11 Oh, my key fucked. I have gold help for you to use that. Yeah, get to me. Alright, come here, take it. It's not cool. When you attack what's open, bro, or kill Dino or something. I'm staying or not. I don't even want to get Dino, bro. Everything's full. You might not have reached it. I might not have reached it. Wait for standing, I guess.
02:47:42 Und wenn ihr mit der Donner nehmt die Nexpläne ist nicht open. Was ist für den Right Side Under?
02:47:49 So much like Complexity, we saw a few moments ago make that rotate into Skyhook. TSM do something similar, right? They land inside a Skyhook, but it's not going to be safe for the next zone, so they're going to have to plan another rotation. It's not Moist, they're going to have to plan their retreat and Guild will go down. We're seeing the stark difference between two teams, one that is in a building like TSM and just watching the game go down, talking pretty casually about what's going on around them, and on the other side, Moist, who did not have the safety of the building, and now...
02:48:18 ...we're in big, big trouble, having just a duo left. They'll have to pull off a res and a rotation in almost the same amount of time. And the zone is already gonna start moving, and we've got very little space. Luminosity take their own engagement. Should be able to pick up some kills here. That's Team Liquid that have lost one. It's Team Liquid that lost one, and Team Liquid versus LG. This is a fight for one of the pro buildings of where this zone is gonna be going. So this is so important to win the fight, to stay alive.
02:48:45 Und dann geht es um Fung zu fangen. Das Spieler von Liquid, Sykes wird da sein. Und auch wenn Sweet geht, hat Gold Rez kommt in. So LG sollte er sein können. Aber es war ein C9-Member. Und vielleicht sogar drei C9-Member.
02:49:01 I'm just keeping my eyes on the killfeed, but I am glued to this killfeed while not moist sliding after the res and pick up a kill. Flatt lose a member very, very quickly. The assassin sliding in behind Guild now has support on Timmy as they both move up together and take out another member of Flatt. This is going to be a very quick cleanup of what was otherwise a team that was looking really good. Timmy manages to escape. Get back with the team. You cannot get caught now.
02:49:28 Oh no.
02:49:58 Oh no, there they go, and that's shots from Sweet that takes them out. Notably absent from the killfeed until then was Luminosity, who we saw Cloud9 charging in on immediately after their fight. And somehow Luminosity, without a care in the world it seems, have completely reset, are sharing the building with Cloud9, and have one of the best spots in Zone, something that a team like Oblivion has got to be very envious of.
Spannungsgeladene Endphase mit unerwarteten Wendungen
02:50:2602:50:26 Ja, Oblivion thinking right now, hmm, essentially, like, what is the play? Because they're going to have to drop off at some point, and they don't have the Horizon, who's going to, of course, just allow them to have guns up on their land, so wherever they land, it's going to be awkward, because they're going to take a little bit of stun, and they're not going to be able to have those guns up, and any team that's on the second or bottom level, God forbid, ahead of them.
02:50:49 Es gibt 3-Shots auf dem, so Oblivion mit einem sehr, sehr schweren Rotate für heute. Die anderen Teams, wie Sie sehen, sind neben dem Abort und Complexity und Empire sind blindfiring durch die Smoke, durch die Gas zu versuchen, und es NGNL auf den anderen Seite des Fight.
02:51:01 Es ist sehr klein, das Schritz kann sehen. Es kommt auf die letzte Member des Empires, aber nicht in der Prozess zu retten, dass sie nur ein Jouer sind. Fortunately, Moby wird ihnen die Chance bekommen. Und es könnte auch noch gut sein für NGNL sein, aber sie müssen ein paar Fälle in der Zone nehmen, ähnlich wie alle, in der Center of Skyhook.
02:51:24 Oblivion ist nicht nur ein Bangle, es ist 2, 3, 4, es ist 5! Es ist Carnage! Es ist... Die heavens sind offen und die Missiles sind fallen, das ist all wir wissen. Oblivion...
02:51:43 We finally found it! The upside-down uber cake!
02:52:05 Es war der Center von Skyhook all along, und ich weiß nicht, was Sins gemacht wurden, aber ich bin sicher, dass es nicht so viele Bangle sind. NGNL geht weiter, 4 Quads left, unsere Final Four, und das ist so Uncommon für Skyhook-Zone Onset, dass wir zwei Full-Bildings in und nur 4 Teams left haben.
02:52:29 Now, we have C9, we have LG, who are full three, both of them, and Bleed Esports, who are also a full three. Now, Bleed have been here so early on in this game. And when you're looking at HP, you're looking at EVOs, you're looking at Shields, well, LG have the advantage. They also have the height. But the thing is, Bleed, they have zone. Everybody who's in the building, and that's C9 and LG, have to leave at some point. And bang alts are going to be pretty irrelevant when it comes to dislodging Bleed Esports from this position due to the cover that they have from above.
02:52:57 This is going to be an interesting decision here. How do LG play this? The game kind of is going to come in the way of Bleed E-Sports. They can wait for it to happen. C9 are going to wait for LG to make their move before they do. So a lot of the thinking and the decision making has to be made by LG.
02:53:13 And LG can really only disincentivize teams in two ways. In fact, this goes for many squads. Bangalore ult, of course. We saw that in the center of Skyhook. But also Catwalls. Catwalls could save LG here if they're able to move in such a way that they wall off Cloud9 from being able to shoot at them. It'll be timing dependent, certainly. But it is, I would say, LG and C9s both.
02:53:37 Their one hope of being able to survive, perhaps even LG might be able to go towards the center of Skyhook. A couple options, a couple options, but nothing too certain yet on set.
02:53:46 Woa! Woa!
Luminosity Gaming (LG) dominiert Cloud9 und sichert sich den Sieg
02:54:16
02:54:16 If they can close this gap now, the camel goes down, the bono is popped, and LG might be about to get their first win of the day here.
02:54:22 With Shubi down, it does look like LG are dominating this fight. It was a quick 3v3 up against Cloud9, but no amount of speed is going to save you from LG, who are just as fast on the follow-up. That was a wonderful class in Reactive Apex Legends from Luminosity, as they observe what Cloud9 do, drop down onto the opposite side of the fence, and wait for the fight to kick off. Wait for, honestly, the mistakes between C9.
02:54:51 und Bleed zu accumulieren, dass keine Team mehr kann. Ja, ich liebe es, wie du auf die Schreinbäck auf die Schreinbäck war. Das war awesome. Das war einfach so gut als die 10 Bang-Holts, die wir noch auf einmal gesehen haben, obwohl ich sage, das ist ein bisschen unfair für mich zu sagen, das war awesome. Es war sehr unfair für jemanden, die zu dealen mit es, die in die Schreinbäck war. Aber ja, LG, ich meine, die Frage ist, was heute, kann man ein paar weitere Top 5s, Top 3s into Wins? Well, da haben wir die Top 5, da haben wir die Top 3, da haben wir die Top 2, aber
02:55:19 Now we get the win, and it was just a brilliant piece of thinking, right? They waited for everyone else to make a decision. They were waiting for the catwall to be used because C9 were paranoid about what LG were going to do, right? They had to also worry about what bleed were going to do and block off that line of sight. So the catwall was burned, and just that corner being available, you saw it was picked out of the corner of the eye, I think. And seeing a Watson gen there as well just meant...
02:55:40 Even if bangles get thrown our way, even if grenades get thrown our way, it's going to buy us enough time to force the other two teams to fight before we have to make our move. So LG play that endgame perfectly and then they clean up the final fight pretty comfortably knowing that they had the armor advantage as well. I mean, you could hear us going through a very similar thought process on the cast, but...
02:55:58 Just looking at the situation they were in right above C9, the clear choice is a catwall, and they managed to find that 1% play that takes them off to the side, that does open things up for all three teams to survive, and they rely on the fact, in this case, that...
02:56:14 Ultimately, a fight gets taken by Bleed, because they see C9 encroaching on their territory, and Bleed go, that's too close for comfort. We can't really effectively navigate this anymore. The fight happens ridiculously quickly, and I need a good credit. Bleed played very well. LG, though, with 17 kills. Ah! 29 points.
02:56:35 Ich würde sagen, dass ein 30-point-Games ist jetzt ein Nuke. Weil wir können das Phrasen aufhören, ohne eine Art Cut-Off-Line zu haben. Aber es ist ein Nuke. Es ist ein Nuke, ich gebe es. 29 Punkte, das ist nuts. 17 Kills?
02:56:52 Und ich wirklich wundere mich über die Kill-Distribution, weil ich glaube, dass eine Menge LG, besonders an dieser Zeit in der Zeit, war wirklich in Harmonie. Und wir sind noch immer noch über Sweet, der immer die Spieler, die man kann sich anschauen, um die Direktion der LG zu entscheiden.
02:57:08 You don't get a game like that with just a singular person. A lot of the teams working together very well there. Bleed, of course, come up second. Following them is Cloud9. And Native and, weirdly enough, Oblivion managed to slot in with 10 points each. Oblivion getting a lot of kills during the course of this game, specifically from the center of Skyhook.
02:57:32 Ja, ich denke, es ist, dass die Kills, und du kannst von den Positionen, die die Firmen waren, die sie in, hatten die Vorteile, richtig? Sie sahen Native Gaming in Positionen, die gut Kills zu bekommen, als auch. Sie waren in die Endgame, die in die Bildung zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh, zu den, äh
02:57:54 Die Upside-Down-Bad-Cake oder was wir wollen, oder was wir wollen, oder was wir sagen? Und es ist einfach so, dass die Weak-Player-Player-Player-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Wereich-Were
02:58:19 Es ist es, es ist es, es ist es, in fact, ich möchte einen Blick auf die Teams, die vielleicht nicht die Chance haben, die vielleicht nicht die Chance haben, die vielleicht nicht die Chance haben, die vielleicht nicht die Chance haben, die vielleicht nach der Rotation haben, einen der großen, Ah! Moment, zu mir, war die Liquid Alienware, die in eine Skyhook-Zone sind. Ja.
02:58:40 Und letztendlich, ich meine, wir waren über sie zu sehen, dass die Zone so nahe zu uns ist. Zu einem Fummel-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich-Dich.
02:59:01 Und das ist ebenso, dass es nicht so gut geht. Und das ist auch die ganze Zeit, die man manchmal kann, dass es ein paar Worte geht. Du hast die Arbeit an Storm Point, du hast du gut gemacht, du fühlst dich, du denkst, du hast ein guter Platz. Und dann, all of a sudden, du hast du re-focus ziemlich hart in die nächste Spiel, denn du hast es nicht so gut zu bekommen, denn du hast es nicht so gut zu bekommen. Also, Liquid Alienware braucht es ein bisschen zu locken hier. Wir sagen, es ist noch eine quiete Spiel für Furia. Die Skye ist ein bisschen disappointed von ihnen, als auch.
02:59:29 FluffyAimers haben heute noch nicht gewonnen, als auch, als wir das erste Mal sehen, dass sie in der zweiten Platz bekommen haben. Also, viel zu sagen hier für ein paar Teams. Und ich würde sagen, Eternal EC, wenn ich mich nicht, hat Skywest gewonnen. Zu kommen aus dieser Zone mit nur zwei Punkte ist ein bisschen ein Herz-Breaker.
02:59:44 Das ist ein guter Punkt, das ist ein guter Punkt. Das ist ein guter Punkt für Eternal EC. Wir haben vorher schon über was mit LG gesprochen, wie es ein Team-Effort war, und es sicherlich war. Es ist nicht nur Sweet, was steht für mich, aber aufs Setz ist, dass es sicherlich Funk geht es auf ein 2.3k Damage über den Kursen, nicht dieses Series, dieses Game. Und alle wirklich in Harmonie auf die Kills, ich meine, Sweet ist 5 Kills zu der Zeit.
03:00:13 Ja, won't you take me to Fun Queue Town? Das ist absolut dreadful! Fuck no, he stats certainly on, because as you say, huge amount of damage dealt, and you can see, popping that Bloodhound ult, you've always got to have the responsibility to be the aggressor in those teamfights, play off of any opening damage that is done, and convert damage into kills, and that was a really good example from him in that game of doing exactly that, and I feel like a player who...
03:00:41 Du hast gesagt, dass Sweet vielleicht ein bisschen riskiert hat, wenn das Team zusammengekommen ist. Er hat sich zu sein, er hat sich zu sein, er hat sich zu sein. Und ich fühle mich, wenn man einen Spieler wie Sykes, der so experienced ist, und hat so viel consistency in sein Spiel, ich denke, dass er sich ein bisschen schreit. Er wird sich ein bisschen mehr komfortablieren. Vielleicht wird er ein Spieler, die LG zu dem nächsten Level pushen.
03:01:00 It's certainly looking like it. 57 points over the course of the series so far, and that is over four games. So with two left to go, can anyone really overtake Luminosity, who have now demonstrated that they can very well manage any World's Edge Zones, or at least the very first one? There is still a bit of opportunity here, but the points disparity is growing. Liquid Alienware, of course, right behind them, Bleed.
03:01:25 Following that up with Native and Oblivion, even NGNL quite close behind. After that, we do drop pretty significantly off. Everybody's playing catch up towards the bottom half of the leaderboards. But to find out more about how they'll do in the upcoming two games, we're going to take a real quick break. Everyone grab some water and we'll be back with game number five.
03:03:26 ist der offizial Partner von der Apex Legends Global Series.
03:03:36 Ich hoffe, ihr habt noch ein Hydration, denn wir sind zurück! Game Nummer 5 auf dem Horizont, nach Luminosity zu bekommen hat, eine fantastische gewinne in Game Nummer 4. Gaskin war viel Spaß, ich bin sicher, zu sehen, dass das passieren in Skyhook ist, denn als Luminosity hat sich in der Spiel genommen, das Exit ist von der Mitte der Skyhook. Es war ein Massaker. Skyhook Zones sind immer nur ein bisschen mental, aber wir haben die...
03:04:02 Es war LG, mit einem fantastischen Schuss von Psyched, aber auch die Darkveil zu geben, um sie viel Platz zu geben, um sie zu erreichen, um sie zu finden, in der Ende zu erreichen.
03:04:30 We have relied on Worlds Edge to find their points, didn't necessarily find them here in Match 4, so we'll have to see whether Match 5 and 6 can be a better opportunity for them to pick up the points they need to get back into this series.
03:04:44 Not plenty of time, still time, technically, on a technical level. And it is also important to remember for a lot of our teams who are doing well, but perhaps not having great results today, those middle of the pack squads, that this is just the conclusion of the second round robin for them. And you're no longer into the point where it's your final couple matchups. Once you get into next round robin, that's where I'll be really, really stressed about a lot of these teams.
03:05:08 Wenn du, natürlich, auf der BOTTOM der Leder-Board geht, das verändert sich ziemlich viel. Und du musst jetzt in Highgear gehen und weitergehen.
Luminosity Gaming (LG) auf dem Weg zum LAN-Platz?
03:05:14
03:05:14 Yeah, you've got to keep it going. You need that momentum on your side. And you need to take advantage of an opportunity that is in front of you for LG, top of the leaderboard at the moment. And they need to be looking at the big points that they can secure. And probably with a victory here today, would most likely secure them a place at LAN as well. That guarantee, that magic number that we were speaking of would most likely arrive. But there's still two maps to go. So there's always that opportunity that you could still fall down a little bit further in the leaderboard.
03:05:42 Das ist natürlich der Fall. Ich meine, es gibt einen großen Punkt, die LG haben zu arbeiten, und sie sind sehr froh in das. Aber nichts ist secure, besonders nicht in der ersten Platz spot. Die Sache ist, dass mit LG und den Punkte, die wir gesagt haben, sie brauchen, natürlich, von der Zanderkommandert an der Start der Broadcast ist, dass sie sich ziemlich gut fühlen heute, am besten zu erreichen. Das ist ein Reminder, dass wenn es LG ist Perspektive, es Leidens Perspektive ist, C9, die sich auf und auf und auf und auf und auf geht es um 20 Teams lang.
03:06:11 You can always catch those on FaceIt Watch, the, of course, broadcast partner for the ALGS, where we get to watch all of your favorite perspectives, be it from Teams, be it the main broadcast, and, of course, my personal favorite, the map stream.
03:06:28 The map stream is always my favourite as well. I love to have the map feed because it tells you so much about where teams are going, where teams should go, where they could go and where they shouldn't go, of course. And we'll give you all that insight alongside the commentary here in match number five. As the teams are dropping in, they are ready to go. And we'll have to see here whether some of these teams who do have the better POIs find those points. I mean, Eternal, having SkyWest not able to find a victory despite the fact we ended up at Skyhook, is that an opportunity missed by them?
03:06:58 Will they be able to maybe benefit from a zone moving away from Skyhook instead? I'm gonna straight up jump on that like a sack of bricks. Yes, that is a missed opportunity for Eternal, for Liquid Alienware, even Fluffy Aimers who land in Lava Fissure and did not have a good game. You do have to be wondering about...
03:07:20 Jetzt ein bisschen.
03:07:46 So they are pretty close and could move over and share some space with Cloud9, get a little up close and personal.
03:08:10 The zone south of the, well, by the mountainside, just on the north of Geyser. So there's four potential opportunities of places you could try and play, four desirable positions to try and take here. So we'll have to see for those who have the ring console where they're going to move. One of those squads being Temper from Big Mord or Large M already making their journey through Geyser now. And I'm interested to see where they try and take.
03:08:34 It's funny, actually, just watching where they're at right now, Temper are tailing board. This may just be to hit the crafter on the way and then take control of the choke point, but following into that tunnel can be the end of your game. I'm just not sure whether it's going to be board or Temper, since Temper have really been on one today and are a very scary team to fight. There's a few teams who are very scary to fight. There's a few teams who have not necessarily found that form as well today, so...
03:09:01 This will be the time to suddenly pick up that four-man change things going into match five because we've seen it's pretty tight throughout the entire leaderboard. Yes, we do have a breakaway at the top now. LG starting to take a little bit of a lead, but there is still going to be that chance to try and send yourself a little bit further.
03:09:16 und die sehr wichtige Punkte sind, nach den overallen Standings zu spielen. Das ist die Möglichkeit, sich über die Spiel-2-Play-Offs zu denken, weil das ist, was wird auf die Bühne sein für viele Teams werden, als wir jetzt in unsere 4th Serie haben. Für die meisten dieser Quads werden nur 2 Series bleiben für sie, und das beginnt zu werden, wenn man sich um die Chance hat, wenn man sich um die Möglichkeiten hat, um die Punkte zu bekommen.
03:09:38 Complexity, making a slow maneuver through the center of Siphon, could actually make use of the care package and get themselves a nice bit of Evo, even if that doesn't have a cache inside it. You've now got an Assault Crate right nearby as well, and not a whole lot of teams that should be left in the south since nobody dropped Dome. Stacks and mods should be making their way out. Complexity, we're gonna commit to a little bit more of an edge playstyle than we typically see them go for, but...
03:10:06 Das ist nicht zu sagen, dass das in einer bestimmten negativen Weise wäre, das könnte sehr, sehr gut für sie. Und das Gold Nemesis wäre sehr, sehr gut für jemanden, der sich ihren Händen hat. Ja, ein Gold Nemem-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm-Wemm!
03:10:30 auskirts, rather than those who, for example, drop at Overlook and play it very early, and one of the bigger reasons being, for example, Flat. They're here early, but they're on blues, and they may not get much of an opportunity to get up to purples, and we've seen a few teams arriving from, like, Lava Siphon, for example, or Staging, or even all the way up towards Countdown, having the opportunity to get up to purples, maybe even reds, and then attacking those buildings in the late game and stealing them away from those who just have blue.
03:10:59 Teams like LG, who are sitting on their blues right now, won't have the opportunity to pick up a lot more Evo. We talked about this unfortunate tunnel of death. It does seem like C9 are on the receiving end. It's up against Temper.
03:11:15 It may very well go down. In the midst of all the chaos, Cloak does get swung on, C9 suffer even more losses. However, in a 2 vs 1, you have to imagine that Temper are coming out on top of it. C9 go down, Spades is already being rezzed, and this should be an effective reset for Temper before even more teams get the opportunity to come in.
03:11:38 This is going to be tough, but a team that pushes through may just get absolutely destroyed from above from Tempo. The scans, of course, are going to help and probably will see people not take this move through the vault then. There are going to be a few teams trying to make a similar rotation, and the thing is, you can get congested here. If you don't make this push, suddenly another team arrives, and they'll be next, they'll be behind you, and then you just get squished, then you get sandwiched. So this guy is trying to make this push, but we've already seen one player who responds, but I think it's not going to be too late here.
03:12:07 Das Nade ist für 190, aber weil sie verloren hat Designful, ist es nur ein 1v1 zu einem anderen Situation. Und du hast das SINGULAR Grenade gewinnen die fight für Disguised. Aber instead, Temper sind diejenigen, die eine Rez bekommen, und jetzt spielen das in eine 2-versus-1, und da ist keine Chance für Zen zu effektivieren. Wir haben nicht mehr Nades kommen. Die Util ist weg, und dann ist er noch nicht zu schwingen. Es sind alle drei, die wieder zurückkommen sind.
03:12:36 und Tempo haben genug. Ich glaube, es ist Vanity die nächste Squad zu machen, aber es ist ein bisschen late, und Tempo wird die Möglichkeit haben, zu fully reset. Ich denke, Tempo ist unlikely zu spielen, aber...
03:13:02 This next zone is going to give us the biggest indication of where we're finishing. I imagine No Name is going to be the aim of the game here for where everyone goes, where Empire, where Flat are going to be residing. Oh, there is a potential little shift to go a little bit further north, but certainly what that zone does tell us is it's not going to be finishing on the area just next to the vault, and it isn't going to go down south towards the mountains. Instead, it is going to be either No Name or the train tracks.
03:13:28 Und meine curiosity ist jetzt mit dem, was ist die Norte able zu kontrollieren. Eternally EC und Fluffy Amers haben Dibs auf es, aber sie sind ziemlich nahe. Aber das ist nicht wirklich, dass sie nicht diejenigen sind, dass sie diejenigen, die lange genug genug sind, um diese High-Ground zu übernehmen, was wir wissen, wie eine Power-Position.
03:13:48 I really would like to see a couple squads approach to the north, maybe even have LG pivot out into an area like that, especially as this does appear to be moving away from Overlook. A team like NotMoist moving in from the south won't have exactly the same dibs on Zone, however, they should be able to play through some of the chokes coming out of Geyser and perhaps pick up a few KP, but it will be down to how well they fight.
03:14:10 They're gonna need more than a few KP. I think there's a few squads here who need that large game that we speak about to really give themselves an opportunity to get back into this series as I see Furia making their rotation. And, you know, if they hold this position, if the zone does pull a little bit further north, there is an opportunity they can be in a good spot. But I've never really enjoyed holding these vans, especially without a Watson. And they are gonna be playing Lifeline instead. Now...
03:14:37 Sure you can be naded and then you can pick people up you can get those res's but I imagine furia are going to try and either take some space or reposition a little bit here
03:14:47 It's nice to see that at least Vaxalon is the one playing outside, as Bangalore, typically the IGL's choice, is going to have the extra survivability, I'd say, that Bangalore provides Madness instead, is going to be playing a bit safer. And with the red shields, I see no reason why not. Bloodhound's certainly a great follow-up, but as you say, defense is really the priority for a comp like this, and not something that they're particularly well set up to do inside this card.
03:15:19 So a few teams that I want to keep an eye on, well Fluffy Amers are one of them, thanks Observers, and Eternal from the north of the epicenter here, because Fluffy Amers are going to have to push through Eternal if they want to make that rotation and find themselves at the northern side that you speak of, because if you don't go north, you're going to find yourself having to go through Fragment, and what I was going to mention is TSM also are going to be in the area as they make their rotation through the sky, so now you've got TSM potentially taking on Eternal, three versus three here, and it could be a straight fight if Eternal try and take it.
03:15:48 This is fully cap, right? TSM land on that high ground. There's no way that they keep it now being sandwiched by two squads. Eternal looking at them and Fluffy Aimers are right behind them. TSM have already lost one. We'll see whether this Motherlode can turn things around, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of options for TSM. If they do manage to get Zap back into the game, EEC is coming up on them and so are the Fluffy Aimers who get distracted real quickly, giving TSM the chance to reset.
03:16:17 E-Sports are also taking a little bit of a look at this one. And this seems to be...
03:16:34 Prime real estate at the moment, everyone wanting to be on the northern side, seeing where this circle is going to go, because the high ground could be pivotal when we get to the end of this game. Look at this, look at this, look at this. Bleed are just waiting. They've spotted all the action, know how much attention is being put, and are staying so, so quiet for the third party on TSM and Fluffy Amers.
03:17:00 Oh, es ist vieles zu tun, aber gut movement von Reps zu überleben. Und es ist wirklich aus der Frying Pan und in die Flamme, denn sie müssen in die Lava zu überleben. Sadly für sie, sie werden in die Lava zu überleben. Und sie werden in die Bleed E-Sports gehen, um die Fluffy-Aimers zu überleben. Aber das ist ein guter Damage von Verhulst. Unfortunately, es geht in die Fluffy-Aimers immediately. Und die Bleed-Summoner-Wall geben sie ein bisschen Reprieve.
03:17:26 Shield swap comes in from Shubi, dropped a little too low for comfort, however, and with Fluffy Amers right on top of them, you have to imagine the third party instead will go the way of Fluffy Amers, leaving them with not only a power position, but an additional couple of kills. They aren't giving this up to try and finish off Bleed Esports, but instead we've got another contestant entering the ring. It is Team Liquid Alienware, who again, watch all this happen, see TSM go out in the kill feed and go, there are a couple of squads.
03:17:56 Ja, ich denke, die Teams sind zu lernen, dass man ja, man könnte einfach in Fragment gehen oder einfach in ein Bildung in Fragment oder in ein Bildung in No Name, aber...
03:18:20 Then you leave it up to chance in where that zone might pull. But actually by playing a little bit more edge, by being aggressive and finding those fights when they're provided to you, you can almost dictate how the game's going to go yourself and put it a little bit more in your own hands as Vanity. 20th position at the moment, they would need a miracle to try and send themselves up the leaderboard today. But they are able to get some good damage here in the vault tunnel. And it's complexity who are on the other side of this.
03:18:47 The nades from Vanity have looked really good so far, but with Stunny now going down, they've picked a fight with one too many teams. Temper popped in and have turned the tables, putting Complexity in a good position to recover. Unfortunately, there's just not the time to do so, and Complexity are forced to run through the fences and into the remaining waiting arms of Vanity, who leaves Stunny behind and will technically survive for now with just a bit of the tunnel left in overlooking No Name.
03:19:14 By the way, the zone has pulled up towards the train tracks that we spoke of.
Strategische Positionierung und Teamkämpfe im späteren Spielverlauf
03:19:18
03:19:18 So that high ground that teams have been so desperately fighting for is going to prove to be very vital for this endgame. Those who did all commit to no-name, there was about six teams who did so, so you can't really blame them, they all had similar thoughts, are going to have to move from south to north. And we only have three teams, maybe four teams, who are kind of within this next zone. LG, Stallions, Furia, and Fluffy Aimers, probably the more likely teams to win this game from this point. And that's interesting to say when you have 14 squads still remain, but everyone in frags...
03:19:47 Everyone in No Name will all have to move from the south or from the west here.
03:19:52 Nice plays from LG. Good scan as well. This is Operation Save Suite. He got triple pushed by Temper. And LG's big spread out hold now finally has to condense into a singular point as they prepare for what could be a series of 3v3s up on this high ground. Temper very unpredictable as a squad right now. And LG don't have a lot of say, especially with the lack of high ground that they currently possess. Temper basically evened this. It's up to LG. Do they want to try and play?
03:20:21 Through this crafter, control temper, maybe push them back down the hill. Or, and I ask again, who's going to take control of the high ground? Fluffy Aimers won the fight. This is still open for LG to contest. Very impressed with LG. I mean, similar to what we said at the top of the show, the positioning and the rotations that Sweet's been calling have put them in some of the best spots to get to the late game, even if they don't necessarily find the victories, which they did find a victory today.
03:20:47 They have just been such a presence in these final circles. Now, NotMoist, one of the teams who are in no name and have to still make their way towards the next circle, it is going to be a very treacherous journey for them because, yes, they find themselves in a comfortable position for now, but there are three teams, four teams, actually five teams who are all around them who are going to be moving at a similar time here. Let's watch the Senti. That can make the biggest difference, has made the biggest difference for NotMoist today. I don't know if it can...
03:21:15 Das ist eine große Herausforderung, die sie in diesem Ring haben. Bangold will eigentlich stahl der Push für ein bisschen Zeit, vielleicht öffnen Not Moist, um ein Kampf in dieser Geburt zu spielen. Spiel für KP-KP stattdessen. Es ist sicherlich eine Option open für sie. Initial damage von Timmy.
03:21:33 Gives them the chance to get aggressive onto this one. Liquid Alienware and Native Gaming both go down on the southwest side. And I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more teams fall as well. NotMoist are the next. And you can see in the kill feed, Furia take down Oblivion alongside another team. I think it was the remainder of Flat, or at least a couple of players of Flat who got eliminated. You can see Nano still alive, so still a solo player from Flat. What are we? There's two members of Flat still alive. I think someone might be on the floor though. But certainly was a difficult spot for all of those teams.
03:22:01 Empire have managed to survive, Fury have been able to survive, and that is about it from the south. As Flak go down, Temper retain the high ground they earned earlier, leading us to wonder, there they are, where LG has positioned themselves. Sweet, alone on top of this high ground does get noticed for sure, but this is a lot of open area that LG controls. Look at how much space they've managed to hold onto.
03:22:28 I am surprised the fluffy aimers didn't take this position to be honest, but LG who have been fantastic with their positioning today It's a really good opportunity to jump into listen and see what sweet things about where they find themselves
03:22:56 Wir müssen uns aufhören, bitte. Ich bin nicht aufhören. Ich habe einen Gott-Spot. Ich habe einen wirklich gut Rund. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir. Ich komme zu dir.
03:23:24 Ja, ich kann es.
03:23:55 Ich hab ihn mit ihm aus!
Luminosity Gaming (LG) sichert sich zweiten Sieg in Folge durch räumliche Kontrolle
03:24:18
03:24:18 Wundervoll endgame from Luminosity, and you can hear the shouts of elation as they pick up their second win in a row today. That is game number five, going to Luminosity, and a masterclass, this time not in endgame.
03:24:36 in patience, but in spatial control of the ring. Gaskin, the way that they were able to play that, controlling almost all of Overlook, not the POI that they landed at, and then taking the right fights at the right time, this is looking like an IGL, not just an IGL, but a team that really has it dialed in on how to win any game of Apex Legends from any position.
03:24:59 Yeah, but also an IGL who is starting to feel quite confident, not in his own ability to call, but also in the ability of his teammates. Sweet has maybe been searching for teammates that he feels this confident for quite some time. But I do think when we look at IGLs, when we look at what people have been able to achieve in the history of the ALGS, the POI draft will have benefited some IGLs and would have been a detriment to others. I do think Sweet as one of the...
03:25:23 ... und besser IGLs zu adaptieren. Es hat wirklich geholfen, und es ist klar, dass LG ist eine reale Threat, jetzt, in dieser Pro-League-Split. Und ich bin sehr froh, zu sehen, wie weit sie können, denn jetzt haben sie sich ziemlich weit in advance, hier, auf der Top. Und ich würde mich nicht überraschend, wenn sie mit der gesamten Serie gewinnen die ganze Serie gewinnen, ... ... das soll ihnen genug Punkte geben, aber zuerst werden sehr nahe.
03:25:47 If not, secure it. And yeah, that's a great feeling for Suite. And always risky to go into a listen-in at the late game with a team there because, you know, you might die and you might just hear the negative comments out of it. But we're going to go to any team with the form that LG are in right now and being able to hear that elation and what it means to them. It's always great. And the way that they were able to execute that and even the way that you've put things afterwards has reminded me of something that I heard two, three years ago in Apex Legends. That Suite was...
03:26:16 was and is one of the best IGLs to have when you are in a bad position because of his ability to adapt and what we're seeing now is that that's not just true for when you're in a poor spot but now perhaps in the mid game is one of the better IGLs is working with one of the better teams whatever the variables behind the scenes may be to get good positions and be able to use those to then win games as well that's been really impressive of course over the course of today's games and
03:26:45 Perhaps it can continue. I don't bring this up too often, but technically bonus points are available. If you win one more match, you could theoretically pick it up. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but we've seen crazier things than LG and the form they're in winning a potential third game.
03:27:02 Und in the end, they gave themselves the chance to do either, which again is sometimes a risk.
03:27:31 Also give credit to Furia, we mentioned their rotation and how they found themselves in one of those RVs and they did pick up 17 points in the end, 10 kills to go alongside it.
03:27:48 I'd also love to give a little bit of love to Fluffy Aimers, who found themselves in 6th place after that game. They, much like LG, were focused on how to control the height and did play for it really effectively, avoiding a lot of third parties, retaining control for as long as they could, and while ultimately Fluffy Aimers do go down before reaching the real endgame,
03:28:12 They got to very late stages of it and played with the endgame, with getting first place in mind. Something you've got to appreciate, especially when it turns into nine points. Not a bad score at all. However...
03:28:25 We've got a whole bottom half of the leaderboard after this match. And that's where things get a little darker, Gaskin. Where things start to maybe creep up on teams. Some insecurities starting to come to light as we look down the barrel of game number six. The final game for a lot of these teams. And for a lot of these players, perhaps some of their last opportunities to pick up any kills at all.
03:28:48 Ja, mit Liquid Alienware endet in 12th position, sie wahrscheinlich handelt dieses Series und dieses Matchday zu LG, weil sie jetzt ungefähr 30 Punkte hinter sie, um in Match 6 zu sehen. Und obwohl wir eine 30-Bomb haben in EMEA gesehen haben, ist sehr häufig in ALGS in generell. So wir hätten Liquid Alienware nicht nur ein 30-plus-Point-Gain, aber auch LG zu erinnern.
03:29:14 The stars would have to align, so we're almost already handing it to LG at this point. But there is then the conversation of trying to pick up those points around those certain areas. For example, I mentioned Native Gaming a little bit earlier. If they want to find themselves at playoffs, they would need to be finishing around top six every match week. Well, at the moment they do find themselves in sixth place.
03:29:35 And you can do a lot worse than improving your standings during the course of the final game. There is still a lot of wiggle room just below LG, even if going into Game 6, it does feel like a bit of a victory lap for this team. It is a well-deserved one, to be sure. Over these five matches, they've dealt a total of 16k, almost 17k damage. And that is not even to speak of the way in which they've been able to do this. This isn't a squad that is taking all these 3v3s willingly.
03:30:05 und irgendwie kommen auf den Weg. LG nehmen viele Fights, finden viele Kills, machen viele Dämmen. Aber sie machen das alles, nicht für die Kills, sondern für die Win.
03:30:25 Jens Burton von Falcons, aber sie haben noch eine weitere Serie zu spielen. Sweet wird sich auf die Leaderboarden schießen, und LG finden sich auf 77 Punkte. Das ist was ich zu erwähnen. Es ist ein 31 Punkt Gap zwischen sich und Alienware. LG vielleicht haben sie bereits auf das Ding gewonnen.
03:30:46 ... ... ... ... ...
03:31:07 who, making their way out of Challenger Circuit a while ago, are in the conversation on a matchday for not just Top 5, now Top 2. It's been a very impressive day for a lot of teams, and we've got one game left to wrap things up. Now, before we do that, I will flag this. We are going to take an extended break this time around as we sort out a few of the connection issues ongoing with the EA server. So, while we do that, let's take a look back at some of the best moments that made Split One Playoffs so special.
03:31:38 This is the Split One Playoffs, and this is Los Angeles. We have the 40 best teams from around the world, 120 of the greatest players to ever play the game, all fighting for their chance to win a LAN and to hold up that ALGS trophy. Every single one of these players have given everything they have for months to be up on the stage. Because this is ALGS. A violent shot!
03:32:08 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
03:33:16 120 der größten Spieler von sechs verschiedenen Regionen aus der ganzen Welt. Und jetzt sind wir auf nur 60. Der Reise begann in Januar, und das ist alles, was sie für heute sind. Nur ein Team wird unser neueste ALGS-Land-Winner sein. Aber alle 20 Teams werden für ihre Teilnahme von 1 Millionen Dollar kämpfen.
03:33:45 Und die Frage, die alle haben, in dieser Woche kommt, ist, ob jemand die Dynastie entdeckt? Hier kommt Legend Gaming, und remember, können sie die Final Kills bekommen? Ja, sie können, aber leider immer noch mehr.
03:34:05 Sie sehen die Paintheorie, er hat einen Schuss, der Zyngl ist geredet. Ich meine, sie finden die Kreders, aber sie wussten, sie wussten sie nicht gewinnen, denn sie waren Pinch. Tia, Sam, geteilt und recheckt Griniti. Klingelt, Schuss. Sie haben einen Schuss, der Zyngl ist, der Zyngl ist. Der Zyngl, der Zyngl, der Zyngl, der Zyngl, der Zyngl, der Zyngl, der Zyngl, der Zyngl!
03:34:30 To talk about Dark Zero again, we're talking about Match Point Sims. This could be their opportunity to hit Match Point here.
03:34:40 Ein weiterer Platz ist all Rejekte Winnity braucht so far. Und da geht's, Serenity und Dark-Zero Eliminatet. Rejekte Winnity will cross that Threshold. Die Team sind bereits in Matchpoint, aber wir müssen das tun. Sie denken sie sind, aber sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie. Sie sind für sie.
03:35:58 07 Eliminate!
03:36:28 So much will fall as well, we're down to six squads.
03:36:49 PSG, und jetzt geht es um einen mehr zu gewinnen. Look at C9, look at die Position Serenity are in. Alles fällt in die Position. Reject Winity are just going to watch this unfolding battle in their very eyes. Surely it's going to be the moment for APAC North here. Biding their time, waiting for their moment, as all of Reject Winity find themselves a friend evil!
03:37:23 Reject-Winner-Tee, die sich um diese Arena zu spüren, um das Apex zu spüren, um die Apex zu spüren.
03:39:54 Das war's für heute.
03:40:24 It was amazing to see a different region come in and call themselves a champion. Reject Winnerty with that huge win. And I think it just was a reminder to everybody that this is the Apex Legends and the G stands for Global Series, right? It doesn't stand for Gaskin, as some may think. And it's just wonderful to see, right? We've had teams from all across the world outside of, you know, two regions now who have been competing, who have managed to win that title. And I think it just shows...
03:40:49 A truly global series where there is an opportunity for anyone to win and everybody who's a part of those regions can root for one of those teams. Yeah, sadly, the Apex Legends Gaskin series is just me dying off drop over and over again until I finally win a fight and then might get a victory in Apex. But yeah, it was an amazing event. I'm very excited for when Split 2 Playoffs comes around and interested to see whether Apex North can again come back and...
03:41:13 ... ... ... ...
03:41:39 When we see the teams compete against one another, when we truly start to see which teams can actually be winners. Well, as we look to the future, it's time for us to kind of just stop thinking about what's coming and what's happened and look at the past as well. It's time for us to look at the present and what's happened as well, because this has been the LG show today. Luminosity fans have had a lot to smile about. We'll take a look back at some of the moments from that last game. And I think Dia summed it up extremely well, Dan. This was a great example of commanding space.
03:42:05 Und wenn du auf den Overlook und du sehen die Zones, die sich um die Trark aus dem Balloon befinden, dann ist es so großartig. Es ist einfach wie Stormpoint-eske. Du bist von naturalen High-Ground-Cover. Du bist von naturalen Positionen, die du weißt, du kannst auf andere Leute, die in Disadvantaged-Positions werden. Aber ich möchte auch noch ein Shoutout für Sight-Tier, weil...
03:42:27 Es war 2v2, und ich habe in den Kommentaren, der Sweet gesagt, ich werde die Rez geben. Zeiss wird geöffnet, er macht 43 dmg, und dann absoluten Decimates Rezzy, macht es ein sehr, sehr einfaches Job für die letzten zwei zu gehen. Ich war impressed mit LG und der Positionierung zu kommen, ich erwähnte es in der Ende des Match 5, dass sie die Eastern-Side gehalten haben, die die Option zu gehen, um zu einer Zone zu gehen, stattdessen zu kommen.
03:42:54 Und jetzt haben sie sich auf 77 Punkte gemacht. Und jetzt habe ich gesagt, was ich in meiner Apex Legends Commentary-History gesagt habe, was ich würde, was ein Team wäre zu gewinnen, etc. Ich bin sehr überzeugt, dass LG wird das ganze Spiel gewinnen. Es ist 31 Punkte, Liquid Alienware finden sich hinterher. Wir würden sehen, wie LG wäre zu kommen, wenn LG wäre zu kommen. So, sie sind in einer der besten Spots, sie können sich die Pressure auf. Und ich denke, wenn Sie die Pressure auf LG sind, sie sind...
03:43:24 Ich denke, es ist interessant, dass die letzten zwei Spiele waren, dass die LG-Wins sind. Es ist Back-to-Back für LG, und wenn sie eine weitere Win-Win hier bekommen haben, dann ist es ein Bonus-Punkt für sie zu holen. Also, es ist noch etwas für Luminosity Gaming zu halten und versuchen, es zu erreichen. Und ich bin sicher, dass sie bereit sind, um die nächsten Spiele zu bekommen.
03:43:46 Und zu...
TSM's Playoff Chances and Oblivion's Impressive Performance
03:44:15
03:44:15 Touch on something we spoke about at the start of the show with the projected points needed in the overall standings. TSM would need to finish in around the top.
03:44:25 kind of 15 each time they compete in their matchdays to be able to guarantee themselves playoffs or at least put themselves within the question of it. Now they find themselves in 18th place. So this is going to be a little bit difficult for them. This is what I was speaking about in terms of the projected points. So TSM would need around 7.2 projected points per match. Now seven points is 13th position and they find themselves down in 18th at the moment. So it's certainly not looking too good.
03:44:55 Projected points would, of course, change going into their next set of matches where they would need a little bit more. Now we can switch our focus to Oblivion, though, who have been very impressive today, Mark. I think that they are a team that we have to be highlighting. They require 11.9 projected points per matchday, and that is around top nine each time they compete. And we've already seen they are right up there in the conversation of finishing within the top five. Yeah, yeah.
03:45:20 I mean, if you get into this stage of the split and you're Oblivion, I mean, this with all due respect, with this many match stage to go, if someone was to offer them that at the start of the split, I think they would say, yeah, we'll take that. We fancy those odds. We reckon we can do that. Essentially placing in the top half of the leaderboard for our last couple of match stage, we believe we can get that done. So Oblivion with a huge, huge opportunity to cement themselves in one of those split two positions.
03:45:45 Ich bin sehr, sehr, sehr froh, dass sie ein guter Start in einem even besseren End zu der Split.
LG's Dominance and the Importance of Match 6
03:46:10
03:46:10 The hangovers of bad games, maybe the good times of the good games. And LG certainly are a team who have been talking about what's gone right more than what's gone wrong today. I think they have placed a minimum of top 10 today. They had a second and a fifth alongside the two wins. So it really has been...
03:46:26 An LG Bus Parade, essentially, today. Well, can they do the treble and have even more reason to be on said parade and wave the trophies aloft of a bonus point trophy? There is no trophy, by the way, for a bonus point. But a bonus point could be very vital with your chances of getting to playoffs. And I do think if we see LG win today, which is looking very likely, their opportunity to get to playoffs is even more so. Very excited to see how Match 6 is going down. But it's teams...
03:46:52 Das brauchen eine Victory, das brauchen LG zu disruptieren. Es ist alles gut und gut, was wir uns über die 3e Victory bekommen haben. Aber andere Teams müssen sich um, und wirklich, um sich die beste Chance zu setzen, wenn sie sich in eine bessere Position in den overallen Standen wollen.
03:47:19 Well, here are your Dropspots. We've already seen them for a couple of maps now. We've seen a Skyhook end that was, of course, won by LG. We've also seen an end just outside of Overlook, which was, again, won by LG. The question on everybody's lips at the moment is, can they convert it into three? Can they get the hat-trick? Can they complete the treble and collect that bonus point on their way to solidifying a first-place finish today? A lot to play for here in game number six, Dan.
03:47:45 Ich schaue die Compositions zu sehen, ob jemand ein bisschen drastisch mit der Legend-Selektion zu machen. Die Antwort ist, unfortunately, oder fortunately, depending auf welchen Weg du siehst, eine dead Noe. Wir werden nicht sehen, dass nichts zu verrückt. Keine Ahnung, eine Cyber-Cat-Performance hier auf World's Edge. Es wird eher die Tried- und Tested-Compositions, die wir used zu haben, als alle jetzt aus ihren Dropships haben. Und wir gehen in World's Edge. Es ist Match Nummer 6. Es ist eine Chance, die sich zu tun und zu tun.
03:48:13 In your own hands here and get yourself a little bit further up those leaderboards and get yourselves one step closer to split two playoffs. And with LG point sponging a little bit, it means that the rest of the places are still very much up for grabs. And when it comes to the end and we see how tight those final game days can be, knowing that you are a team who is in a position to qualify, knowing that you have the game in your hands, your position, your future and your hopes of qualification in your own hands.
03:48:40 Es kann ein paar Punkte beurteilen, dass die Entscheidung gemacht wird, oder dass die Entscheidung gemacht wird. Es ist viel zu spielen hier in Game 6, aber LG wird sich extrem gut fühlen, wie es heute geht. Ja, sie sind. Und Zone-Wise, LG wird sehr glücklich sein, weil wir hier sind, weil es sehr ähnlich ist, was wir gesehen haben.
03:49:02 Arguably, could be a very similar finish as well. Now, I will highlight the same four finishes that I did previously. You've got the one that is just south of Fragment. You've got the one that is east of Fragment on the train tracks. You have the northern train tracks that could be there as well. As, of course, No Name being a potential finish here.
03:49:20 Well, LG has said, we've done this once. Can we do it again? Now, the rotate might be a little bit different because of how teams kind of adjust from what they saw in the last game. So you have to keep that in mind. It's not just a case of walking up, taking the same spots and kind of controlling the space in the way that you did previously. Everybody will be aware of what went right and what went wrong for them. So it's a chance for people to adapt, to adjust and see.
03:49:40 if they can challenge that position and maybe take that position away a little bit earlier c9 are gonna have the prior to this zone which is a real opportunity for them but they have to be careful of course of lg coming from epicenter they've got board already approaching from geyser as well from the south side so empire also making their move in through fragment two and as we take a little look at native gaming here in sixth place overall here with 37 points one good game for them here
03:50:04 Ja, sie brauchen diese Matchweek, sie brauchen diese Confidence boost und als du schon gesagt hast, es ist nicht getan yet. Sie können sich in der Top 3, wenn nicht die Top 2, hier in der Top 2. 1st place ist Out of Reach.
03:50:33 Mathematik really is impossible at this point. But if they can send themselves into the top three, they give themselves less work to do in the remaining match days for them, which then gives their opportunity to get to playoffs even more so. So I'm excited for Native. I'm excited to see how they perform here in this final match and in the future match days. But there is still plenty to do and it is not job done yet. There's complexity. They're going to move through Geyser. They're going to take this chokehold and...
03:50:59 If the zone were to pull south here, Complexity could be in a good position holding said position. I always feel for the one person that gets beamed on the zipline as well. Like, Kim Chi's like, why me? Why was the cool second guy? You know what I mean? Cheap with the other guys. Maybe that's my slightly selfish gameplay coming to the fore. But, you know, I feel for Kim Chi is what I'm trying to say here. Complexity, like you say, are going to be taking this choke. Watch them rotate to here as well. And they're going to be playing the choke, which is a little bit more.
03:51:26 Ich bin jetzt von der Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon-Siphon
03:51:51 Free KP indeed. Stallions have lost two. Now, Temper are in the area and could try and join this one, but I think they are just far enough away that LG will have time to finish this fight and reset before Temper even get close enough to have a whiff of what has just happened. Now, LG continue their dominance up to 80 points now. Really is putting it without a shadow of a doubt that they will be winning this series today. I want to hammer that home that they have dominated, and I don't think anyone's really going to come close.
03:52:19 But can they get those three victories is now what they will be hunting for. And can they get those 100 points on the board? Yeah, very, very interesting and a very, very good day for LG. I keep repeating it because I think LG fans have loved the consistency they've seen today, but they maybe wanted to see just that little bit of magic that makes them believe that it's not just qualifying for LAN, that maybe they're a team to look for when we get to LAN as a potential winner. A long way to go, a lot of match days, of course, before we get to that. And of course, getting to the finals of LAN is always...
03:52:48 Es ist eine Challenge in sich selbst und zu langen ist ein Challenge, und Moist wird das auch finden. Es ist nicht so eine gute Gameday für sie. Liquid Alienware hat auch eine bessere Zeit und sie werden auch noch ein paar mehr Punkte hier durch KP. Es wird Schubi, der Fall ist.
03:53:06 Now Team Liquid Alienware is similarly to LG. They are in a position where just average matchdays would get them to LAN, but this is going to be a more than average matchday with a second place on the horizon, potentially, if they can find similar success here in match two, which again could secure their spot at LAN, even with their performance here today. And we will start to guarantee more North American sides just after what happens. Now...
03:53:33 Das ist ein bisschen schwieriger, und das ist Native Gaming, die hier in Match 6 sind. Das ist ein bisschen schwerer. Wir haben uns über eine gute Zeit gehabt, aber es wird nicht so gut sein, nach einem 6-Gamer-Gamer-Gamer-Gamer.
03:53:51 Outside of the top 17. So that's certainly going to sting for them knowing that they had an opportunity here to have a really, really solid day to get some really solid points. And now they're going to be preying on downfalls of other teams in and around them. Disguise, well, we mentioned the game six magic. There hasn't been much magic to speak about today. Maybe now that we're in game six, it's going to be a change of fortunes for them because they managed to get through the vault tunnel this time without getting taken on and losing that fight.
03:54:17 Ich würde sagen, es ist ein viel mehr solider Position für sie zu spielen für den Rest des Spiels, aber sie haben sich auch auf den Backen. Ich finde, die gute Sache für Native Gaming ist, dass sie ein bisschen eine Gap zwischen ihnen und 9th Platz haben. Es war ein 13-point Gap in diesem Spiel, also sie sollten noch auf den Top 8 halten, bar keine... Ja, und ich war zu sagen, ich war zu sagen, dass wir das noch nicht erwähnt haben, weil...
DSG's Legend Selection and TSM's Strategy
03:54:42
03:54:42 I've been criticising the Wraith pick for quite some time, but that shows a lot for me to see Designfall on the Bloodhound. Yeah, I mean, some people might be saying, finally, he's probably thinking, hey, something needs to change, and maybe this is the time to change it. So Designfall on the Bloodhound, a very interesting move from a...
03:55:01 A composition which has been pretty cemented as what DSG will be running, but some flexibility starting to come in just as Bloodhound is about to maybe find himself being nerfed into the ground. But we'll have to see if it's going to pay off here for DSG. Like I mentioned though previously, at least they've got a little bit of control here. No team is going to be contesting them inside of this vault tunnel. Nobody is going to be contesting them from the choke. The closest team to them at the moment...
03:55:25 Es gibt FURIA, die noch ein bisschen entfernt sind, als sie in die Schlöpfung gehen. Aber DSG ist ein sehr guter Platz hier. Wenn sie ein 3D-Party aus einer Temper-Complexity-Fight sind, dann kann sie den Nrth-Side gehen. Das Zone sieht aus wie es ein bisschen weiter South als es hat früher. Es könnte auf die Train-Tracks enden, aber...
03:55:51 No Name looking a little bit more likely as Flat down in 13th position. If they're going to have the opportunity of pushing themselves up the lead of the board, boy, do they need to try and wrestle back some control here as they're getting pushed. Well, they managed to reinforce the door for about 3.3 seconds, and then it got blown off, and now they are getting swung from all sorts of angles. There's a team above them, there's a team across for them. I think all they have to try and do here is stall, but knowing that they've got to try and play a res, stick a res.
03:56:17 Makes it even more difficult because that audio cue is going to go off and you're going to see somebody poke.
03:56:24 Also, Flatter ist ein unglaublicher Job zu behalten hier. Sie haben einen Knack-On-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-E-A-T-
03:56:53 Für die 3rd time, 4th time, excuse me, that would be a pretty good job. Unfortunately, it's going to have to be to a respawn beacon as finally Big Louie is going to be put out of his misery. The whole team might be put out of their misery shortly. Nano with the last opportunity to try and rat out and survive and maybe get something, but no, Flats' day will come to an end. They were in 13th position, but everyone below them is still alive, so Flats could drop down as far to 17th, if not.
03:57:22 Maybe 16th here with that death so that is going to be a sad sad situation all them now the teams who have found themselves in no name situation for them Furia Empire and board
03:57:43 All find themselves within no-name. If it does pull here to no-name, they are all going to be in a good position. But something I brought up earlier, no-name is often won by teams arriving a little bit later with more valuable shields on their backs, rather than those who commit to no-name and often find themselves on blue. One of those teams is potentially going to be TSM. Now we're going to see it moist or not moist. Honestly, at this point, not 100% sure, but not moist is what's on the screen, so we'll stick with that.
03:58:11 Das ist auf der westen Seite des Welt's Edge auf dem Moment, aus der Fragment zu den Traintracken. Eternals ist auf der anderen Seite. Eternals ist auf der anderen Seite. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun. Eternals wird ein bisschen zu tun.
03:58:32 auf der Timeline ein bisschen earlier. Und ich weiß nicht, ob er ein bisschen fatigert ist. Ja, das ist ein bisschen verrückt. 50% auf der Schulterreise ist... Dissgusting! Und ich bin sehr froh, wie stark das Mann ist, weil er kann wirklich zwei von mir auf den Schultern, das ist ziemlich verrückt, zu sagen. Jetzt, TSM waren in der Nähe und waren...
03:58:52 Pushing onto Eternal and not Moist, but nothing really happened in that fight. It kind of ended up being a nothing fight as both teams backed off. So TSM quite wisely biding their time, controlling the position they find themselves in rather than throwing away their sudden sight.
03:59:06 Walsi hat jemanden und jetzt die Fatigue hat sich zurückgegangen. Er fühlt sich gut, er hat die Protein-Schäke in der Körper und dann hat er sich das erste Knochen. Aber TSM ist noch ein Knochen, und Gilder hat sich noch ein wenig zu sehen. So, es ist ein Knochen, es ist nicht mehr so ein Knochen für jetzt. Und Sie sehen, die EEC sind jetzt wahrscheinlich zu TSM, als Zap hat ein wenig zu sehen. Aber TSM hat ein wenig zu tun, und sie müssen auch ein Knochen.
03:59:33 Oh mein Gott, Zapp ist ausputzend. Er hat 670 in diesem Spiel und sieht wie ein Mann.
03:59:58 Baby is on somewhat of a mission. Finally, Eternal EC will be eliminated as TSM won't be credited with those final kills. It'll be Waltzy who gets the final one himself. And now you're going to see Moist and TSM have a little shoulder to shoulder, a little shuffle. We'll have to see who's going to come out on top here. Great shots from Verholz, by the way. And I've got to be honest, Verholz has been very quiet today. If I'm not mistaken, zero kills in five games? Very un-Verholz-like, but this is an opportunity to put that right. And with a spray like that from the Elfstar, maybe it's going to be him who can be the catalyst.
04:00:28 He manages to Bob and Weave, and he does do a lot of damage, and there will be the follow-up from Zap as they get the second. Now TSM, though, struggling a little bit with Voz, but Voz gets the bat, which is massive, and NotMoist will be eliminated. And TSM, are they going to be able to reset? They should be able to. They're getting shot from a distance at the moment, but it looks like they are going to be okay on that southwest side, back up to a full three.
04:00:51 Well, crazy things have happened, right? It's not gonna be the same zone. We are pulling back towards the train tracks outside of Fragment. And who is in the single carriage which stands upon said train tracks?
LG's Strategic Endgame and TSM's Victory
04:01:02
04:01:02 It's LG, who have managed to navigate themselves into a fantastic endgame position. Vanity taking a little bit of damage themselves at the moment inside of the bar building, just trying to hold off this full swing that's coming in. But on that scan, find out that there's 10 players in the vicinity, so nobody really should be thinking about third in. And it's LG again putting themselves in that spot where they can kind of move into wherever the zone does shift at Zone 3. As soon as they saw it pull towards Fragment, they went for the train tracks because that was one of the zones I was talking about is potentially going to end.
04:01:32 LG are rewarded with that now, but...
04:01:34 Are they going to be maybe pressing an advantage here because they've noticed there's a weak Cloud9 that they can actually pick up some KP and then potentially return to that spot afterwards. Yeah, this is really, really smart because not only do they get this KP and will be able to escape, get some loot as well. Now they know that there's only going to be a solo approaching them from the northern side. So they're essentially trying their best to clear this side of the map and keep all of the lobby in front of them. It's such a smart decision to make as we see Sorcerer just kind of tanning his backside at the moment with that zone. He's going to be playing this.
04:02:04 So LG, clear this side. Now they're just going to wait for the last solo to move out of that train tunnel. Should be able to pick up that KP.
04:02:21 und dann wieder zurück. So clear of that side, free KP, sehr, sehr gut decision-making from LG. Das ist eine der Grundsätze von Fragment zu kommen, wirklich. Du findest dich in der Position, wo, sicher, du bist in der Lage, aber du bist in der Lage zu gewinnen. Und es scheint, ein paar Teams sind einfach das Inevitabilität an dieser Stelle. Und FURIA jetzt...
04:02:41 Das ist eine der anderen Gruppen auf den easternen Seite, die vorher an No-Name waren. Sie sind ein weiterer Vorwärter Team mit Disguised und Empire hinter ihnen, aber Borde hat jetzt einen Augenblick auf diese Gruppen. Es ist nicht einfach für Furia, so sie werden zu nehmen.
04:02:56 Ja, sie werden einfach auf den Top-Side von diesem Rock gehen und sehen, ob sie ein paar KPIs bekommen können. C9 wurden Eliminated, LG get credit, mit einer Kille. Und jetzt die Killefeeder, sie sind auf DSG aber auch. Aber Disguise, als sie die Dämmer sind, wir sehen, dass LG einfach nur Farming ist. Aber Sweet hat sich zu bemerken, hat sich nicht zu übernommen, hat sich nicht zu übernommen, hat sich nicht zu übernommen. Empyre Gaming Eliminated, in der meantime, Fury wird die Kille bekommen.
04:03:20 Is there a bonus point on the horizon here for LG? They certainly have everything. They have all the cards that they would need, right? They've got decent armor. They've got a great position. They've made a good call. And a lot of the other teams that are around them are either in very disadvantageous positions or have even lost a member. Furia may be one of their biggest concerns, but they almost lose Vaxlon. But it looks like they are just going to be able to reset here. Disguise trying to do what they can as a solo, but it looks like Furia should be okay.
04:03:48 Yeah, Madness could be the difference maker here, because not only has he got Red Evo, he's got the Devo as well. So Red Evo Devo, which is something I wouldn't want to say too many times quickly. Skynades coming in as well onto Furia. Could make the difference when it comes down to those close range engagements in the final moments. By the way, Designfall is still alive here for DSG, so may be able to scrape a few extra points up, even with Furia. I think they're pretty aware of his position, and we'll certainly be able to scan that position.
04:04:12 Oblivion, das ist eine Geschichte, die Designfall hat, und DSG wird verletzt. Das ist eine große Geschichte, so wir schauen uns jetzt, wie sie spielen.
04:04:41 Can we come up, Link? I'm coming out. I'm excelling at climbing. Stay for me, stay for me. This is a good thing to gem. Stay for me, Link. Yeah, I'm coming. Oh, that is bad, that is bad. Smokes, smokes, smokes. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead.
04:05:08 Ich bin tot, ich bin tot.
04:05:37 Come to me, come to me, come to me.
04:06:01 So Oblivion from what looked like a horrible position still survive as a duo. We see Liquid Alienware eliminated as well as the rest of the lobby essentially. LG will not be able to get the back-to-back-to-back as TSM stand in a position to have a last stand in this series. What a story this would be. Yeah TSM I mentioned earlier they would need to what finish?
04:06:26 mit 7 Punkten in den Overalls und haben die Chance, die sie in der Top-13 sind, während sie in der 10en Position sind. Aber Oblivion, zwei Spieler haben sich in den Challenger-Circuit für die letzten zwei Jahre, jetzt finden sie für den ersten Mal in Pro-League und sie sind in 3rd Platz. Aber es sieht aus, dass es das Ende des Spiels wird, als sie wieder geöffnet werden.
04:06:47 Ja, das wird NGNL gegen TSM gewinnen. Aber schauen Sie die Platz und die Angles, die TSM hat. Die letzte Mal in diesem Lobby war es ein TSM-Win. Heute wird es nicht ein Series-Win, aber Game 6 wird es. TSM-Win gewinnen. TSM-Win gewinnen, mit einem gewinnen in der finalen Game in der Series-Win. NGNL wird eine sehr wichtige 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-2.
04:07:13 in the overall standings, which really does give them an opportunity of just putting that foot towards LAN and at least giving themselves the belief of it is possible. It is doable, but the same could be said for TSM. With their security, it wasn't looking particularly healthy going into Match 6, but a victory just pushes them far enough into that Top 10 to give them that confidence once more. Yeah, I think it goes without saying it's an important game, right? It's the fact that they picked up, I think, what felt like their first teamfight winning.
04:07:42 All day, to be honest with you, when they went up against North Moist. And I think just winning that, it's crazy what it does for you, right? It's like, hey, we're actually pretty good at this game. It just reminds you you're one of the best teams that North America has produced. And from there, they go on to get more kills, more kills, more kills. Take the best position away from LG, who maybe we were just thinking in that endgame, hey, we've got enough points. We know we're guaranteed to win. Let's just try and see how many we can get. But it's a fantastic end to the day for what was a...
04:08:07 Otherwise, it's going to be a very disappointing day for TSM. And I think I summed it up right. They save their day with that win in game number six. They really do. It saves their game. It potentially saves the day. It potentially saves their chances of LAN as well. I mean, they were still in a pretty good position and a likely team to get towards LAN. But now this puts them in a far more secure position.
04:08:29 Yeah, it's wonderful to see, right? We're seeing some of these teams that...
04:08:56 TSM saved their day, but like Dan's saying, so many stories come out of today, and I think Oblivion is one to keep your eye on as well. They really are. I like that we called them just in those last couple of moments of this final game, but as a team that is like many of the folks watching at home,
04:09:24 One that came out of the challenger circuit, one that just was aspiring to play better, and now granted they've got Reeds on their team who brings a boatload of experience with them, but Oblivion have clearly taken a step up this year, and they have risen to the challenger pro league in a way that I think not many could have expected.
04:09:44 Ja, das stimmt. Und ich bin sehr froh, dass ich über Blink ein bisschen mehr zu commentate. Weil wenn ich ein 1.8.2 spreche auf jemanden werde, ich werde den, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der.
04:10:10 Ja, das war, als wir mit Minus Tempo in der Halftime gesprochen haben, mich zu sagen, oh, vielleicht sollte ich nicht sagen, dass das vielleicht nicht die richtige Energie zu geben, weil es sich die TSM-Werrückseite war, weil es sich die TSM-Werrückseite war.
04:10:25 Not just in Stormpoint, but when we were on World's Edge. The first two games did not look good at all. NG and L do come in right behind them. And while this is, of course, an impressive performance, I do wonder, with the way that TSM played today, how far up the leaderboards they realistically could have gotten with just this singular performance, giving them essentially all of their points. Liquid Alienware do claw a few back. LG maintain their lead, but I want to take a look at those teams that in our last
04:10:54 ... ... ...
04:11:11 Ja, es war ein Team wie Native Gaming, die in 6th place in diesem Match 6, in 18th mit 0 points. Und in der Ende des Damage war, dass sie in 8th place in den overall Standings fallen. Das ist ein guter Position, aber es ändert sie mit der Möglichkeit zu landen, und es ist die richtige Richtung. Aber es war einfach ein Sad End, und vielleicht ein bisschen Disappointing, das war so ein guter Day in den Early Stages. Aber das ist Confirmation, LG kommt auf den Top 90,
04:11:40 Und ich meine, Looking at Liquid Alienware, this is a really big difference between the last time
04:12:10 Das war's N-A-Series.
04:12:39 Matchday 1 in Split 1 with 90 points. LG in the middle of Split 2 have risen to that bar, but not yet surpassed it.
04:12:51 Ich schaue mich an das und ich bin sicher, dass sie fürißt werden, wenn sie das jetzt wissen. Sie wissen, dass sie eine Waffe gewonnen haben. Sie wissen, wie sie eine Waffe gewonnen haben. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie so schön sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie so schön sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie so schön sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie so schön sind. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie so schön sind. Aber jetzt müssen sie das Titel haben. Das setzt uns für die nächsten Matchday, wo wir beide in der Lobby haben.
04:13:15 Ja, ja, ja.
04:13:29 Now we gotta look at now how everybody is placing over the course of the split. Of course, today's performance out of LG moves them up a few places. Liquid Alienware also starting to make their way up in Gaskin as everybody gets rounded out. Now we've all played the same amount of match days. These are the standings moving into the final round Robin. And of course, when you're top 10, you can rest pretty easy. Some of these teams, especially SSG, may have fallen a few places, but their performances
04:13:59 This season still make them very scary.
04:14:28 Und das ist ein unglaubliches Gefühl zu haben, wenn man nur vier Matchweeks hat und zwei zu spielen kann. Auch für andere Teams, wie SSG, zum Beispiel. Sie können nicht so viel machen als andere Teams. Sie können es nicht so gut gehen, aber es ist nicht ein Wunsch. Man kann es nicht so gut gehen, man kann es nicht so gut gehen. Aber wir haben unsere Klier-Leaders in diesem Moment, und ich denke LG wird jetzt sehr glücklich sein, dass sie eine der Favoriten zu sein.
04:14:54 And with the signing of previously Skidmark, now Bleed, everybody who's in Top 10 in North America is also signed, which is very exciting. With, of course, the next couple of squads, 11th through 20th, needing a little bit more to move their way into LAN competition, Oblivion is right there on the line, as are C9, for squads that could make their way in Weave, interestingly, right below them, make for another fascinating...
04:15:23 Das war's.
04:15:46 Ja, still got some work to do, and a lot more work than the teams in front of them, but we know the talent. It's just a question of...
04:16:14 How quickly can you get those pieces working together, right? Because it's one thing to pick up a player like Timmy, who is obviously incredibly individually talented, and he's going to offer you so much. But also you've got to remember that, you know, whilst he's stepping into an IGL role, and we know how tough that is to do as a player. It is not a case of, oh, I'm just going to jump in and, you know, I've played a lot of Apex Legends. I kind of know how this game works. I know some spots that we want to play. It's like how you perform as an IGL in...
04:16:40 A position where you're in scrims is very different to the matchday pressure where the decisions really do matter into what the future is going to be for your team. Are you going to qualify for LAN? Are you going to be able to get yourself into a position where your destiny is in your hands? So there's a lot for Not Moist to go through at the moment. And I think the teething pains may be starting to hurt a little bit more than they expected, but hopefully they can get through them and they can get to the other side of it and show some really, really kind of aspirational moments and get into a good spot.
04:17:10 It seems like that's something that is totally in the realm of possibility. Now you mentioned individually talented players and somebody over here, somebody is very vocally asking for us to introduce the...
04:17:24 ...player of the day, our MVP for today's games. I'm serious, she's been meowing at me for the past five minutes, and it's because everybody cannot get enough of Funk managing to make it with LG all the way to the top of the leaderboards. Funk was a statistical anomaly during today's games. Topping the leaderboards, not so much when it comes to kills, but looking at things like assists and damage, Funk actually ranked above...
04:17:53 ... ... ... ...
04:18:16 mit dem anderen Spieler auf LG ist, dass die Numbers, mit der Unterschied zwischen den LG und den LGs von den LGs von den LGs von den letzten Jahren, die hier ist nicht sweet. Die Unterschiede ist, wie Funk ist mit dem anderen Spieler auf dem Team und sie mit ihnen zu bringen.
04:18:45 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
04:19:14 aber auch in den letzten Endgames.
04:19:38 Yeah, I think the thing that impressed me most about Funk today is I think today was a real marker of how much he's grown as a player. And I think it started in the last match day as well, where he was picking up some really, really vital kills for his team. But it seemed like some of the immaturity of some of the decision-making, maybe some of the excitement, the exuberance of a young player coming into a team and wanting to impress, has just taken a backseat. And he realizes and recognizes now what his role is on that team. And I think the addition of Sykes as well was just...
04:20:05 He's got two voices now to listen to, right? Because there's two players who have been there, done that placed well. And I think now he just feels like he has his role. He can be comfortable in what he has to do. And he looks very, very mature in his decision-making when it comes to teamfights and how he's playing. So I think Funk is just getting better and better at the moment. And I think the stats are starting to prove it as well. Now, I know that I justified the Funk decision for any of those players.
04:20:27 Vielen Dank für mich.
04:20:50 I mean, we really couldn't have gone with anything else after watching the way that you guys played through today's matchday. It was very exciting to watch. And importantly, very controlled almost in the way that you took World's Edge games and worked them into your favor. But...
04:21:07 It's been a while coming. Luminosity has taken shape and the last time we saw you here I think was after match day two of last split. So it's been a bit of a break between times that we've seen LG at the top of the leaderboards. What are you giving the biggest credit to for your success today?
04:21:24 It's a split of two things. It's one, the culmination of teaming with Sykes finally coming to fruition. You know, it takes always a couple weeks whenever you have a new teammate. And, you know, Sykes was not only an S tier player in his own right, but adding him into our scheme perfectly filled the gap of a like hyper-focused, almost paranoid support player who's constantly watching our back and knowing when to do certain tasks that are better off not directly told by me to do. He's a very intuitive player.
04:21:53 Das ist mit der Draft. Apex ist kind of broken right now mit den Zones. Und wenn du eine close attention bist, kannst du bestimmte POIs mit der Draft und das mit Sykes kommen.
04:22:13 Sweet. Firstly, congratulations on an incredible matchday, a record matching points total, which I've got a two-part question here. I'm being a little bit greedy. So you got 90 points overall today, which is tying with Dark Zero for the most points put up in a matchday, which is obviously very impressive. Now, are you firstly happy with that or are you slightly upset you didn't get one more point just to say that you are the record holder? I don't want an honest answer. I don't care about any of that.
04:22:37 Aber ich meine, wir haben komplett gegriefed von Fury in der finalen Spiel, so das war annoying. Aber ich denke, wir waren in der Runde für die Niche-Thinge, wo, wie wenn du drei Matches gewinnen, du kriegst einen extra Punkt oder so. Und in Points, wir perfekt setten es die letzte Game-Up, um nicht nur drei Wins, aber auch 100 Points. Und ich denke, das ist, wie eine andere Overall-Standings. Und wir sind, wie du...
04:23:01 Steppen up to the plate to be the team that's going to dethrone Falcons. Shout out to Fury for ruining that. Overall, I'm happy. Dark Zero is an amazing team. They played well. We have multiple more weeks to continue playing well. If it's tied at 90, we'll see who gets 91. My actual reasonable question here, by the way, because obviously you're going to be happy with what happened is...
04:23:25 Talk to me a little bit about the evolution of Funk as a player, because I feel like he's become a little bit mature as a player. He feels like he looks a lot more comfortable in the lineup. Is that just time, or is that something that having both you and Sykes in his ear as well just takes a little bit of pressure off his shoulders and he's just able to play in the way that he naturally will play? Great question. It's a mix of three things. Natural talent, willingness to learn, and ability to be coached.
04:23:54 Now, me, as much as anyone catches flack for coaching people and how I do it in the tough situation, but the reality of the situation is we're playing for millions of dollars. And, you know, people can make money that their grandkids are going to be finding useful during ALGS and just esports in general. And finding a player like Funk who is not only young, because the kind of diverging things that happen in esports is you find people who...
04:24:19 Er ist sehr jung, aber leider nicht unmöglich. Und das machte ihre Abilität zu werden und zu werden, die Spieler die Team braucht. Funk ist eine der meisten Mature Leute, die ich mit seiner Zeit habe. Ich habe das mit seiner Abilität zu hören, aber auch zu geben es zurück zu Menschen. Und nicht nur zu sitzen und zu beraten, aber auch zu sein, zu sein und zu sein, zu sein und zu sein. Und auch zu sein, für sich selbst und zu sein, in einer sehr wohlführende Weise. Und dann, uh, just his raw Talent. I mean, Funk ist da mit, literally...
04:24:48 die meisten Mechanical players in der Spiel. Und ich denke, als das Jahr geht, mehr und mehr Leute kommen zu verstehen.
04:24:54 Now, even though you've already mentioned that POI draft, you have found ways of manipulating that in your favor with how the zones have been, and quite rightly so. We've always respected you as an IGL who's been able to adapt to poor situations you may find yourself in. If a zone doesn't go your way, you find yourself in a bad spot, you always seem to find a way to get out of it. What would you attribute that to? Why are you an IGL that can adapt to what seems like any scenario that you are put in front of?
04:25:22 Well, it's an attribute that a couple people have in Apex, but it's not as much as... A lot of people think it has so much to do with being smart and being this super talented player, which it does have some role, but it's more so just your ability to just take in information live and just see which teams are where and understanding certain themes in the game.
04:25:51 The simplest one is, we three have purple armor, this team in the corner has blue armor. Let's just run them over and create a path to the zone. It's a thing a lot of teams don't do is they try to let the game dictate them rather than dictating their game. And it comes with experience, right? After IGLing, you know, I used to be a shit IGL, you know, five years ago, right?
04:26:13 But after 10, 20, 30 games of walking in a zone and never making a play, you begin to learn like, wait, maybe we could take the reins here a little bit and control the narrative. And that's just what comes with experience. All the top IGLs in Apex are all the most experienced ones. So, yeah.
04:26:30 I think it's a fantastic answer. In fact, you've given several today, so I'm not going to keep you for any longer than necessary. I'm sure that you've got some celebration. Importantly, some relaxation to do. Thank you, Sweet, for joining us. Thanks. Yeah, it's fucking 110 degrees in Vegas. I'm like itchiest. I gotta go. All right. Thanks, guys. Take it easy. I agree.
04:26:49 Also, being in Vegas, it is very hot outside, but thankfully AirCon exists in America, so I'm okay. I was going to say, it's 110 degrees in this room, and I'm in the UK, and we don't do AirCon, as everybody knows. So, yeah, at least you have AirCon. I'm just sweating. That's all that's happening. All right, well, I think it's high time that we get you to a break, because you have been...
04:27:10 Honestly, going wild over the course of today, whether it be from almost triple LG wins to the chaos of EMEA this morning. On set, I'm just going to need one more thing from you, and that is your thoughts to wrap up today's NA Match Day 6. Well, firstly, fantastic job to you for hosting for the first time the ALGS. I think you've done a great job. Secondly, congratulations to LG dominating that lobby in a way which...
04:27:34 It doesn't matter if some people may say that these two lobbies are the weaker ones, some of the bigger teams are in eight. If you can come out of it with that kind of points total and that kind of domination, it really does set you up for success when you move forward. So congratulations to LG. I'm really excited to watch the continued evolution of this team. And honestly, when they get to LAN, which it looks like they're going to as well, I want to see where they stack up. Because with the way they're playing at the moment, you've got to look, maybe there is a potential for someone to be in that argument as someone to take the tournament itself.
04:28:02 Bera, well, it could be. And Gaskin, I know that it's hot where you are, but fortunately you've got some air conditioning. How would you cool us down with some wise words? There's also a swimming pool out the back, so I could probably dive in that and that would cool me down. Maybe not cool everyone else down, but I will say enjoy tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed today because this might be the last time we see the compositions that we had on our screen today. It could be the end of...
04:28:25 Bangle or Bloodhound with the changes coming in with the patch next week as well. It might still sneak through, but I'm excited to see how those changes are going to develop. And I'm very excited for it for sure. But thank you dear for hosting today. I appreciate it. And it's been a really fun time.
04:28:40 I'm glad to hear it. I'm feeling all happy, which is exactly how I should be towards the end of a broadcast. I'm going to let these two go. Thank you both Onset and Gaskin for joining us. And now that it's just you and me, the audience, you, not Onset and Gaskin, you, you.
04:28:56 We get to look forward to tomorrow is where I'm going. Tomorrow we've got, of course, the next match day of EMEA, match day number seven. And as Gaskin so poignantly pointed out, it is the last day that we'll be playing on this patch before things change. For the better or for the worse, who's to determine? I'm going to bet it's for the better as we've got lots to look forward to in the next patch. This is also when we will begin our final round robin of the split. The last chance for you to put up points in each of these matchups.
04:29:25 Das war's für heute.
04:29:36 auf Twitter und auf YouTube und auf PlayApex Esports. Es hat ein Blast heute mit all den action und natürlich, wir sehen uns auch noch mehr. Ich werde Bully Gaskin machen, weil ich nicht mehr habe, und das ist wirklich was ich, was ich möchte, jetzt. Es ist vielleicht ein paar Spiele zu ranken, bevor ich zu bedenkehren, aber wir sehen uns, was sort of choices get made. Ich sehe euch morgen morgen für EMEA Matchday 7.
