ALGS Championship Qualification Methods

00:01:20

00:01:20 The ALGS Championship, the most prestigious competitive event in the ALGS Calendar. I'm Jumba, this is the ALGS Rundown, and let's break down the qualification methods our teams are striving for to book their tickets to Sapporo. All of the best Apex teams in the world will be fighting for their share of the 2 million US dollar prize pool and the chance to lift the championship trophy in Sapporo, Japan. But how do teams make it there? Throughout the ALGS Calendar year, our teams have earned championship points based on their placements in Pro League,

00:01:48 der ALGS Open und der Mid-Season Play-Offs. Die Top 24 Teams auf der Global Championship Point Leaderboard werden automatisch gewaltt für die ALGS Championship in Japan an der Ende der Split-Two Pro-League. LANDs earnet ihr die meisten Punkte. Top-performing Teams wie Team Falcons, die Winners der ALGS Open und VK Gaming, die Winners der ALGS Mid-Season Play-Offs, haben 1,000er Punkte bekommen, auf der Topf der Championship Point Leaderboards.

00:02:13 Other top performers like Alliance, Gen.G, Ninjas in Pajamas, who have been consistent throughout the year, both in Pro League and at LAN, have all but locked their spots in for Japan as well. Further down the leaderboard, teams like TSM, Virtus Pro, Noah's Fox will be fighting for their position on the Championship Point leaderboard. They will be looking to secure enough points to remain in the top 24 and lock in their ticket for Sapporo.

00:02:35 Anyone that wins their region's Split 2 Pro League will book their ticket to Japan. With four regions, each having their own Pro League, there will be one slot per region up for grabs for placing first. So consistency is key if you want to secure your spot for chance. The next method is regional finals. The winners of each regional final, regardless of their final placement in Pro League standings, will also lock in a spot for Sapporo. The regional final will utilize the match point format, so you'll have to be locked in and aim for that big win if you want.

00:03:04 in a scenario where the winner of either pro league or the regional finals overlaps

00:03:18 or has already qualified for the championship via championship points, such as Team Falcons. Then the next available team on the championship points leaderboard will join us in Sapporo. With our four pro league winners and four regional final winners, we'll have 32 of our 40 championship teams locked in at the end of split two. This means eight spots now remain as we enter into our last chance qualifiers, which will have two spots per region up for grabs. The LCQ for each region will feature all of the remaining split two pro league teams that have not yet qualified for the championship, as well as

00:03:48 10 von den Top-Performen Challenger Circuit Teams totalen 40 Teams. Diese 40 Teams will compete in a Double Elimination Bracket.

00:03:55 Was teams do you hope to see to make it to the ALGS in Japan? Let us know down in the comments.

00:04:24 Das war der ALGS Rundown mit mir, Jumba. Vielen Dank für's Zuschauen und wir sehen uns alle für den Split 2 Pro League.

Match Day 4 Americas: Rückblick auf Match Day 3 und Ausblick

00:05:54

00:05:54 We're back for another weekend jam-packed full of Apex Legends action. And things are really starting to heat up in Split 2. Today is Match Day 4 for the Americas, which also means we're heading into the second round of our Round Robin. And after what we saw earlier in EMEA, I'm very excited to see what the Americas can do today. My name is Glitter Explosion and I'll be your host for this weekend. And of course, we've got to bring the boys back in as well because we have Dia and Graceville rested and ready to dive into the next region. Dia.

00:06:23 How excited are you? I'm very excited, like you told me, rested, I had some lemon yogurt, I brought some water, I am living my best life and about to enter the Americas region for the start of the second round. Robin, what could be better, like actually what could be better? Nothing that I could think of. Graceful, are you excited as well for Americas? Very excited. I know people have been talking about PK, but seeing some of those pumps and hoop pumps in EMEA region earlier.

00:06:50 really got me fired up. So I'm hoping to see some more plays. Hopefully not as many Charged Raffelpeter plays in the back, but I want to see some super mechanical plays, hopefully with the PK.

00:07:00 Absolutely, absolutely. And Americas has been a really fun region so far with quite a few teams rocking the boat, if you will, as far as what we thought we knew or even expected the status quo to be when it comes to our overall standings. So first, let's take a look back at everything that happened for Match Day 3 to remind everybody at home how our teams fared and got to where they are, Dia.

00:07:25 Yeah, this, like you talk about, Boat Rockers theme is a really good way of representing the incredible amount of diversity that we've had in our match days. Starting things off, of course, Pioneers have been one of my favorite teams to watch and also one of the most consistent teams in North America, placing second on both the match days that they've played so far. In fact, one of the one, two, yeah, make it two teams.

00:07:54 that have placed exactly the same way both times. On the other hand, Unreal Nightmare really came out and rocked the boat in match number two. Unreal Nightmare, I think have, like we talked about this morning on EMEA, an incredibly high ceiling that they have not yet achieved, but it is clear that they are pushing towards that, and I think will have solved some of their hardware issues to really get to the next level, hopefully today.

00:08:21 Wenn wir in Oblivion getroffen haben, mit einem 100 Thieves gewinnen. Das war ein sehr guter Button zu setzen auf E-District, besonders mit 100 Thieves. Sie wissen, dass sie hart sind. Aber das letzte Mal war eine sehr gute Highlight, in Match 4, von was man nicht nur Pioneers kann, sondern wie DMG und Unreal Nightmare, die alle diese unglaubliche Power Position haben. Now, Pioneers ended up working wirklich gut, ein paar Respawns für die win, aber...

00:08:50 This fourth map was really the highlight for me in multiple narratives. Absolutely, and you might think that game number five, match number five has to be the end of the conversation when it comes to Unreal Nightmare. And as far as winning the match, sure, that match number five did go the way of Legacy Kingdom. However, the consistency that we see, second place out of a little bit, but fourth place, again, out of Unreal Nightmare all day. Unreal Nightmare did not finish outside top.

00:09:19 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

00:09:41 Like I said, I think, you know, we came into this split having certain expectations of certain teams, and then we get a day like Match Day 3 that shows us just how little we really know. As you get to see, the top five here out of those squads, Unreal Nightmare top, with Pioneers behind with two wins and still a...

00:10:02 Not a massive, but a decent point spread between first and second, even with those two wins under their belts, mostly down to that 18 KP Unreal Nightmare win in match number two. I mean, it was a great way to kind of kick off the region and have a lot of those teams that we mentioned the same concept in EMEA, a lot of those teams that maybe weren't initially in that discussion really force themselves into the discussion, get points when those opportunities have.

00:10:26 Und jetzt haben wir einen sehr interessanten Amerikas-Region. Heading into Matchday No. 4. Aber natürlich, alles diese Teams sind für. Die ganze Sache, die wir heute haben, ist die Abilität in Japan.

00:10:43 So we're going to take a quick look at where we're at right now with our champs kind of status overall. Now, if we ended right now, today, these would be your top 40 teams performing on that international stage. Obviously, that's not where we are. We're not stopping things right now, but it's a good time to check in Graceful where we're at with these standings. Yeah, most definitely. As you said, it hasn't ended so far. All of these teams are still fighting their way to stamp that ticket straight.

00:11:12 Und jetzt haben wir ein paar Teams, die haben eine einfache Zeit gemacht. Wir alle kennen und kennen sie. Wir sehen die Balkans, die Allianz, 100 Thieves. Wir sehen ein paar Teams, die sehr stark und consistent sind. Und diese sind die Teams, die wir erwähnt haben, die gleiche Zeit zu machen. Auf der anderen Seite haben wir schon wieder gemacht. Auf der anderen Seite, einige Teams haben eine schwierige Zeit gemacht.

00:11:41 Wir brauchen absolut jeder und jemanden zu machen. Du musst auf diesen Punkt gehen. Du musst auf diesen Punkt gewinnen. Du musst die Region Finals gewinnen, oder du musst die Top 2 in LZQ gewinnen. Und das ist definitiv nicht der einfachste Weg zu machen, all den Weg zu Japan. Absolut. Und wir sprechen über wie viel diese Teams in diesem Spiel werden für den schnellsten.

00:12:04 und der Simplist-Path-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ-2-Champ

00:12:34 Yeah, it's been a perfect story for them. And like you're talking about, with so few teams in a...

00:12:41 ...automatic qualification position. A lot of squads are fighting for who's going to come out on top of Regional Finals, on top of the LCQ. And nobody exemplifies that more than a team that is able to accelerate on the level that Unreal Nightmare were able to on Match Day 3. This is a bit of a snapshot from their play out of Canal Plaza to find the win in Match 2. And it was a fantastic game for them. This was granted on E-District, a map that will not be played today, but it is nonetheless...

00:13:10 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

00:13:38 Made a fantastic play for Height, and never gave up the pressure on other teams. Moving in, clearing out the bridge, clearing out the high ground, and then systematically taking out Hundred Thieves and Ape Gang with a fantastic Rampart setup that left them basically untouchable on the high ground, with an easy assault down onto the low ground. You can be really impressed with what Unreal Nightmare gave us, and I'd love to take a look at what it sounded like, because I think you'll hear the passion in their cobs.

00:14:08 Ich bin vollständig! Ich bin vollständig! Ich bin vollständig! Ich bin vollständig!

Team Falcons Roster Änderungen und Matchday 4 Vorschau

00:15:07

00:15:07 A performance as a player, but also you can hear the passion like you were talking about Dia coming through those comms on behalf of him as well. So definitely a really good team to be deep diving. And I think definitely a squad ever will be keeping their eyes on here as we start preparing for our matches on the day. But obviously they're not the only team in today's lobby. So let's take a look at which squads we're going to be keeping our eyes on in general, overall, because we have groups A and B facing off here today.

00:15:34 für Matchday Nr. 4 und viele Fähigkeiten hier zu sagen. Ich meine, wir haben TSM, wir haben Unreal Nightmare, wir haben Rock, Phänomenal Performance aus der Pioneers, wir haben Sentinels, wir haben so viele Teams, die Leute werden für und ich denke, eine der Teams, die Leute werden für, ist natürlich Falcons, immer Fan-Favorite, Super Team, Best in der Welt. Ich weiß nicht, ob Sie gesehen haben,

00:15:57 Social media this week. I'm sure a lot of you had but either way let's walk you through a little bit of a timeline here Okay, because this is the first week that we see this week a little bit cryptic

00:16:07 We have multiple tweets from the community. Aurora with a little roster announcement saying that together with Zero,

00:16:36 Und dann, die finalen Tweet wir hier haben, ist von Don,

00:17:04 just created the biggest roster mania and don is not wrong they he absolutely did and after all of the social media all the speculation that's been happening on the internet where here is your answer we'd like to introduce to you your team falcons for today it's exactly the same exactly the same roster uh unfortunately that is because all of those tweets did in fact come out

00:17:31 So we have this Falcons for at least one more weekend. However, I think the chaos that it created and the speculation is still going to exist until we get our answers, guys. I mean, Dia, what's going to happen next week?

00:17:49 Let me tell you, I know it's not the time in the show to talk about it. This is the week to open face it, watch guys. If you want to be listening to these comms, Falcons today is going to be historic, not just because it's their last day playing together, but because I bet those comms are going to get pretty spicy. I mean, yeah, pretty much that's the best way to put it. And honestly, Graceful, give me your quick thoughts on this. I mean, I think it's also one of those things that people...

00:18:17 Since they stream all of their footage as well, it's very easy for people to go along the ride and sensing, you know, was that small little jab at him? Did he actually mean that? Is he actually comfortable with his teammates or not? And sometimes it's just the way it is, you know. Maybe things just didn't work out the way they saw the gameplay, and now one of them feels like Hal is happy he's back at IGELing. Maybe that's where he's the most comfortable at. And, you know, sometimes a team's mix-up is a good thing. So I hope we get to see one last day. Hopefully it's a good one, because if not...

00:18:45 We gotta watch Facebook for sure and see what's happening. Definitely, yeah. It's definitely gonna make LAN very excited. I can't wait to see what...

00:18:52 All of those answers are when we get them. However, you guys both mentioned, if you want to keep up with everything that's going on, the easiest way to do that is literally face it. Watch that way you can hear every single POV exactly the way that you want to up to four different POVs. You also have the option to, of course, watch that map feed so you can see your favorite team's rotations. You can hear their decision making. You can watch the ALGS your way. You can also do it on mobile. You can claim your drops when they are available.

00:19:21 It is the best tried and true method to keep up to date with everything we have going on every single day in the ALGS. All you have to do is head on over to faceit.com forward slash watch to do exactly that. We're coming back as well with one more shout out, of course, to our social media. Make sure you're checking that out. If you're ever not able to make an ALGSE or you just want to keep up to date with everything we've got going on throughout the year, follow us on X, YouTube, TikTok, Insta.

00:19:48 and Twitch. That way you guys won't miss a single second of anything we've got going on, whether it is the rest of this split or what we've got coming up along the way to Champs. And after that, I think it's the perfect time to get straight into match number one. So Dia, Graceful, let's kick off the Americas.

00:20:06 Let's do it. I am very, very excited for these matches, Graceville, because of all the drama that we just mentioned, and not just the Falcons drama, but the dramatic turn that a lot of these teams have been taking. We mentioned Variation during our EMEA show, and today we are going to be playing just the same maps, World's Edge into Storm Point. But it's worth noting that EMEA and North America had a pretty distinct difference in the first round robin.

00:20:33 Your average EMEA team varied between matchdays by only about 4 positions. North American teams had wide variants. Their average team changed placements between matchdays by about 7.5 placements, which is crazy. You could go from bottom 10 to top 10 in a single matchday, and that is really what we're going to be focusing on here. Who's able to dial things in and who continues to rock the boat? Starting on World's Edge, what's standing out to you here in terms of drop spots?

00:21:02 Initially.

00:21:03 Ich meine, um ein bisschen zu touchieren, auf das vorherige Punkt ist, dass das, ja, die Placement vielleicht sehr viel dauert, aber man muss auch in die Zwischenzonen bezeichnen, welche Zonen wurden gespielt, und ob es ein Repeatable Zones, wie wir heute gesehen haben, wie wir heute gesehen haben, dass es sich in der Mitte des Zones gibt. Und wenn du zwei zurückgegangen bist, und wenn du das eine ROUGH-Zone bist, könnte es sehr anders aussehen. Aber ich würde sagen, dass nichts wirklich passt, weil Teams, wenn du so viele Caustics und Alters in der ersten Zones hast,

00:21:33 Ich glaube, dass es so brechbar ist, weil es so brechbar ist, mit dem Likes der Kostik und Altar ist. Also, ich glaube, dass die Leute, dass es nicht mehr so sehr interessiert sind. Es ist so brechbar, weil es so brechbar ist, und du kannst einfach was du willst, mit dem Likes der Kostik und Altar ist, dass es nicht so viel zu tun ist.

00:21:57 You bring up an important point here, Graciel, as to how this impacts our other games as well, since Caustic and Alter are both available. Well, funnily enough, Caustic and Alter were picked the same amount of times this match, which means that...

00:22:12 One of them is getting banned, but we don't know which just yet. We won't get to find that out until we see what teams place near the top and then start to whittle down, okay, well, who is running Caustic? Who is running Alter? Giving a quick overview right now, I'm not seeing a lot of teams that are running one or the other. They seem to all be in the same place at the same time, which will make things really difficult. I'm really only seeing Unreal Nightmare, so it may be that...

00:22:39 What Legend gets banned is entirely based on where Unreal Nightmare plays. Somebody's running an altar. And no Elastic. Somebody's doing it. Unreal Nightmare and somebody else. But my eyes aren't fine here right now. It's gotta be fun indeed. But fun nonetheless is the thermal zone. If it ends up going that way or if it pulls out of it, it's completely fine. Because I like both zones regardless if it pulls more towards the east. But if it's more towards thermal station, I think everybody likes a good thermal station. I feel like it's a fun zone to play.

00:23:09 However, für die Teams, die super weit entfernt werden müssen, sie müssen sie aufhören. Das könnte ein bisschen schwer sein, denn wir haben gesehen, dass viele Collapsen, wenn die Zirkle-Zone... die Zirkle-Zone... die Zirkle-Zone... die Zirkle-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone

Frühe Kämpfe und Team Rotationen auf World's Edge

00:23:25

00:23:25 Starting things off with Unreal Nightmare, the very team that we highlighted. Taking a look at our killfeed, it seems like we are getting the action kicked off real early with Falcons finding an early fight. Just to touch on this real quick, because we did mention the Legend fans, if Unreal Nightmare plays higher than Hot Dog Mafia, Caustic will be bad. If Hot Dog Mafia plays higher than Unreal Nightmare, Alter will be bad. We'll track it for you.

00:23:49 But I just wanted to let everybody who's curious know what's going on. It's worth noting Unreal Nightmare's position may actually be one that ages pretty darn well as they start to move their way further into Thermal where the zone appears to be pulling instant Gibby Bubble down and Unreal Nightmare are looking for a fight.

00:24:07 Oh, Falcons.

00:24:34 sind in Harvester. Das ist jetzt wo sie sind, für heute. Es wird ein schnellerer Spiel für sie. Aber eine, die letztendlich hat sie ziemlich nahe zu zonen. Viele Teams werden von Harvester gehen, und ich denke, das ist eine große Grund, warum Falcons nicht mehr verabschieden. Es ist nicht das, dass es ein Godspot position ist. Es ist wirklich schwer zu verabschieden, wenn alle anderen auch die gleiche sind. Team Falcons do set a trap, however. Zero wird quasi getrennt, oder eher getrennt, als...

00:25:03 He's only on White Shields right now, and the Charge Rifle can change your fate very quickly. Falcons tried pushing into a Caustic. It's not going to work out too well. The nice thing is they've always got height to retreat to, and Falcons are thinking about doing just that. He's up against 14k Resonance on Purples. I wouldn't be pushing my luck.

00:25:20 Not only the fact that they have been pushing their luck for a little bit, other teams are slowly, you know, lurking in towards the zone as well. I believe Nice Guys is to the east of them. If this fight gets too extended, we might be looking at a 3P for the moment, but Zero, however, still trying to make some angles, still trying to step it up, going through the wall actually, into Gash right now, but can he make a play?

00:25:40 Zero's almost got it. These Seaskeeper shots are just not landing. And the Breach, fortunately a two-way street, takes Falcons out and away from danger. Right back up to height. And again, a much safer place to be. They've got the Nox gas grenade should they need it. But for the moment, 14k residents are going to pop a quick revive and continue playing on this low ground in Harvester. The rest of the map sorting itself out is largely...

00:26:07 People betting that this is not a Harvester Zone. We just got these two teams caught up there and maybe a few more showing up in the near future. Hotdog Mafia. One of the squads that we want to keep our eyes on. One of the few to be running Sparrow and actually having Rambo on the Sparrow. Electing to have their IGL instead on Alter. Yep.

00:26:29 I definitely think that's a play that a lot of people tend to do, is that you have your IGL on the rotational character, whether that be the Wraith, whether that be the Alter, whether that be, you know, it could even be Pathfinder. All of these characters that make the macro movement, it's a lot easier to make that split-second decision-making where you see an opportunity.

00:26:45 Das ist nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so.

00:27:12 Ja, das war sehr 30-30-Gameplay. Fortunately, es ist alles safe jetzt. Jeder ist zurückgegangen. Jeder ist zurückgegangen. Und es ist early genug in die Spiel, dass das nicht in die Spiel ist, dass es so weit entfernt wird. Das sind jetzt die Leute, die in die Pläne sind, wie Thermostation...

00:27:32 Und die ganze Zeit, die man in den Raum braucht, wirklich macht es nicht möglich, zu voll senden jemanden, sogar wenn man das ganze Menge macht. Du hast dich für Late-Game statt, mit Farming und mit einem weiteren Ring-Pulls vorbereitet, und wahrscheinlich in die Location, die du hinterlässt.

00:27:50 Und wir haben ein Party-Happen in Up North!

00:28:16 Everybody is super happy on the Harvester side as it does pull towards Harvester. This means that all the teams, and you can also see it from the likes of Durax, Pioneers, Hot Dog Mafia rotated out. All of these teams aren't playing like full on hard committed straight into Thermal on the first zone read because the game...

00:28:33 Das hat sich verändert, von Back in the days. Back in the days you could read the zone immediately, von Zone 2 Knowledge, essentially. Weil das war die RING-Zone, die es war, die es war. Aber sie haben sich verändert. Du kannst das nicht mehr reliably machen, so jetzt werden die Leute spielen ein bisschen mehr adaptable. Ein bisschen mehr zu Rotate, wenn es notwendig ist. Und es hat sich gemacht. All diese Teams, die nicht voll Commitiert haben, können jetzt slowly machen ihre Weg nach Harvester, die haben die Knowledge.

Spannungen und Eliminierungen in der mittleren Phase des Spiels

00:29:01

00:29:01 Quick run in by the Ninjas in Pajamas, setting themselves up for another fight. You see Knocked on the high ground, go for an abduct. And come up just a bit empty handed. This is one of the fights that actually could result in our first squads eliminated. DKK versus the Ninjas in Pajamas is actually a very isolated fight and I think the Ninjas in Pajamas know that.

00:29:25 Das ist das, was wir sehen, dass sie auf den Weg bringen, weil es ein wenig besser ist, weil es eine Kostik-Meta ist, nicht vollständig ist. Ja, sogar dann, Dropp und Kion und Noth spielen das sehr gut, von der Hidren auf der Seite von der kleinen Cliff. Das ist genau wie man muss, weil wenn ihr alle Bunker in die Haus in die Haube wird, dann wird es direkt. Aber auf der anderen Seite, NIP...

00:29:48 They force utility, they force cortical, they force utility. And now they're the ones getting bombarded by gas. They got stinking right now. They're trying to make it up those stairs with the PKs in hand as it comes down to a choke fight. DKK are at a weird disadvantage because they also have 8th gang paying attention to them from the low ground. Something that ninjas and pajamas want to be aware of. If you do end up full sending DKK, you've got to make sure not to drop a single person because you could find yourself in a lot more trouble than DKK were just in.

00:30:18 Fresh New Castle wall makes this a little bit safer. And it should be safe enough that everybody gets to survive. With DNG zone wrapping though, the ninjas in pajamas are suddenly the team in danger.

00:30:29 This pinch could be huge for DMG, as they actually walk up on NIP, but one of the NIP members spots them. They get a crack, but not a down yet. So NIP should be disengaging right here real quick, as they are indeed disengaging to make sure that they're not pinched any longer. They do, however, disengage far into the zone, I believe, a little bit further down to now where DMG might be the team getting pinched if they should reengage. I really like that DMG went for this. They've got an Ultra Portal set up.

00:30:56 wo wir sie vorher sahen, einfach north der Thermal. So sie einfach senden zwei Leute aus und sagen, du kannst du zurückkommen. Du kannst Void Nexus sein, wenn es wirklich ein Problem ist. Und sie tun einfach nur das. Jetzt, wenn es nicht funktioniert jetzt, dann machte Ninjas in Pajamas, wie du schon erwähnt, in die Zone, wo, unfortunately, es viel schwerer für Ninjas in Pajamas zu kommen. DKK kann die Gatekeeper, als kann Apegang, und wir sind...

00:31:24 In a very tense lobby right now. Every team holding their breath to see who will be the first squad eliminated. And Ninjas in Pajamas, certainly the team at the biggest disadvantage right now. Quick Abduction comes through, but knocked. Does get back real quickly. Does need to find a portal, and he will. DKK reset on the high ground. Where they've still got all of their defensive setup. Ninjas in Pajamas in the train carts right below them. Just again, a very tense western side of the lobby.

00:31:52 Especially as all these teams are going to have to move towards Harvester, Apegang, Ninjas in Pajamas, and DKK will have to continue to fight. But check out ZZ's rotate as they end up void nexusing onto the high ground, onto what is very frequently a game-winning position on this hill outside of Harvester. I don't know how you're feeling about it, Graceful. This doesn't look like the endgame godspot for ZZ.

00:32:15 We have seen previous zones active in that direction where that spot, old god spot so to say, very active to where it does end up being the best spot in the game. However, their building, previous building, looking very good going into the next zone. And not only that, but it also adds a lot of KP potential from the likes of DMG, NIP, and DKK from the west side of the map. So I'm interested to see how that plays out for them. However, down here at staging right now, they made it down, NIP down.

00:32:43 into that bottom cubby, essentially, now are gonna be forced to walk through the tunnel and have a hard rotate, as long as somebody else occupies the house. But they didn't! NIP managed to get that building that CC left! That's so crazy that NIP war from the team that was in the most trouble to now the only team, or one of the only teams, one of two teams, in the next zone to actually have a building. Pioneers will be trying to contest for a little bit of Harvester space, but with the amount of teams...

00:33:13 Not just Pioneers, but Durax, CIMJ, Liquid Alienware, Zone Spammers. They're all competing for basically no space. And Pioneers finding that out very quickly. Toss a Nox Gas grenade and desperately try to reset on this low ground. J is going to go down. One Piecekeeper Pump in the back will do that. And Cruel Buckle, now the last alive and out of zone to boot, has a much more difficult time. We are still at 20 teams. We still have not lost a squad. TSM could be our first team to go down.

00:33:42 Das war ein guter Reset indeed, als KCP wurde in den Lava von Midrange. Das ist wie es geht. CSM, however, lost die Member. Gets die Reset right there. Aber als die Duo, wir gehen in mit zwei Teams über sie. Nice, guys, und Falcons, Red-Extrem. Leave No Witness nearby, as well. Es wird ein schweres Road, als Liquid Alienware ist.

Endphase des Spiels: Godspot für NIP und Leave No Witnesses sichert sich den Sieg

00:34:09

00:34:09 The fact Pioneer's being eliminated right now. First team to go down after we had our second zone close. And while we're checking in with what's going on here at Harvester, Falcons have not moved an inch. They have been handcuffed to Harvester since the very beginning. And looking at the next zone pull...

00:34:32 We talked about ZZs rotate out and Ninjas in Pajamas rotate in. Did Ninjas in Pajamas just accidentally roll themselves a Godspot? Yeah, they did. They didn't accidentally. They took it because ZZ left the Godspot and now they're gonna get punished by the next zone closing. However, one thing I saw in the Miniman, but we did not catch right now, is that Liquid Alienware managed to run all the way into the next zone, solo dolo, climb up on height and put down a portal for his whole team to get there. Humongous macroplay.

00:35:00 bei Liquid Alienware. Sentinels staring down the Thuggets right now and Sentinels have high ground but Thuggets have zone priority and unfortunately for Sentinels

00:35:11 You've got DMG at your back as well. This is looking to be a three-squad kerfuffle. DJ Killer from the high ground throwing out a little bit of gas. We get a Nox Gas grenade answering back. Some Skynades falling through. But DMG with the high ground in charge of this fight. It's a matter of outlasting Sentinels as both squads are down to just one member left. No more Nox Gas, but a Thermite could change this. Riley burning alive on the low ground. And DMG are going to go for a reset, a chance.

00:35:40 At the next ring, nice guys get taken down. So do the Sentinels, burning on the low ground. But as DMG, you've still got to go through the thuggets. Nice wipe right there. Yes, they do indeed have to move from that choke walking down. But it seems like a lot of these teams are occupied. Rock Esports is probably the team that's going to be holding them up. But Fighter Curse all the way inside the East as well. Falcons is currently fighting. I believe PSM has to get trades.

00:36:07 Der Rags and Rock go down. Falcons may just be the next, having survived all the way to 15. Waltzy is going to eat this Arcstar. Surely Zero is still alive, and Waltzy is hitting the Custon Reset. Finally goes down, and Falcons have one member left standing in Zero. This could not be more perfect. Zero, the one guy left holding the banner for Falcons with one HP.

00:36:36 Playing behind these rocks is Unreal Nightmare and Hot Dog Mafia both go out. We have dropped half of our teams in two minutes. Unreal Nightmare go down. The Falcons still resetting and outlasting behind this rock as Leave No Witnesses start moving up on them. Somehow the Falcons are alive and then ninjas in pajamas. You know they're shilling up here. They got no worries.

00:36:59 Did Walton tipptap and manage to get two resets off before going down and now to get to reset? That's absolutely crazy. Yes, that MP is chilling at Goldsman right now, but Falcon still at it. Haven't left off the pressure, they're still getting surrounded by two teams. Take it, portal up to high ground. Literally, how is Zero alive? How is nobody looking at this?

00:37:21 The rest of Falcons, unfortunately, do get taken down. Leave no witnesses collecting those kills. Liquid Alienware and 14k Resonance do still have to exit into the ravine. The ninjas in pajamas again. They're still in the next zone closing. This is a miracle game for NIP. The squad that was in the most danger at the start is lit. They're chilling. They're the only team with a building. They can't go down.

00:37:49 Die, ich muss sagen das jetzt, sie sind von der Pinsch, in die Zone zu steigern, durch die Tunnel, um zu Godspot, das war irgendwie frei, weil CC hat es. Aber CC hat es nicht leicht gemacht. Sie sind für den Godspot, jetzt werden sie für den Godspot haben. Wenn sie Nader oder Gaster werden, wird es wirklich schwer für sie werden. Wir sagen, die Falcons und die Thuggeräten, die Ninjas in Pajamas sind, endlich wieder ein paar Teams pressen. Jeder hat so Angst, dass sie auf diese Gebäude zu pushen.

00:38:18 An Acoustic Meta, kann man sehr, sehr, sehr schnell getötet. DKK auf der low ground, nicht in einem guten Platz, oder? Und es ist lustig, dass diese zwei Teams, die sich an einen anderen throatsen hatten, also...

00:38:32 im Ende des Spiels. ZZ, die sich in den letzten Endgame zurückgezogen hat, hat sich in eine gute Position gemacht. 4 Kills für die Squad, so far. Still auf hohe ground. Und unter, essentially, kein Pressure von N.I.P., die sitzen in der Gebäude, nicht auszudenken. ZZ hat viel Freude, wenn es zu, wie sie zu verabschieden, die nicht die gleiche Anzahl haben.

00:38:55 If they manage to wipe, leave no witnesses straight underneath them, they actually get to play the entire northern side of the zone, playing from underneath, getting them a huge chance at winning and closing out this game, because every other team is currently on the south side fighting.

00:39:08 Sykes hat sehr wenige Shots in dieser Charge Rifle left. Das ist nicht normalerweise etwas, aber es wird eigentlich nicht mehr relevant sein, denn ZZ wird versuchen, diese Kills zu Endeffekt. Es ist wirklich ein Sykes, der sich auf den Schlagern zu befinden. Das ist eine andere für ZZ. Und sie starten zu Endeffekt, um nicht für die Norte, sondern für die High-Ground.

00:39:33 And ultimately a challenge haunts the Ninjas in Pajamas. Liquid Alienware will go down in 6. Good placement for them overall. But not a whole lot of kills to go with it. CIMJ slamming right in front of ZZ who play The Rock for a little bit of cover. A tough spot to play. ZZ.

00:39:52 Using the little cover that they have, are trying to take control of this game after giving up the building. Can they play for Retake and ultimately win the game? CIMJ stand right in between them and NIP. Is NIP take a fight against DKK and get wiped out?

00:40:07 ... ... ... ... ...

00:40:29 Sykes manages to at least kick LNW off of the high ground, but they're just trying to survive in Caustic Gas, and albeit for now it seems to be working as CIMJ and DKK are forced to take each other on. CIMJ surely going to go down soon as...

00:40:47 Schick is the last one standing since it straight into DKK and ultimately will fall leave no witnesses on the low ground should be winning this game there are two squads on the high ground surely DKK and ZZ fight each other but ZZ starts crashing forward both wanting to kick each other off the high ground and neither willing to give it up L&W wait below for their chance to win this game

00:41:08 ZZ and DKK stubbornly refuse to give up the high ground and the chance to win. Up come LNW, trying to get in on the action. Guild still fights for the high ground, but will fall. ZZ go down, and from the low ground, leave no witnesses. Let Hubris claim their enemies and take game one.

00:41:26 Leave No Witnesses actually played that so well because they fought for what I said before was the northern side. Whichever team managed to be the last team on that side and clear out whether that be they cleared out CC from the top or CC cleared them out from the bottom would have owned the entirety of the zone which they ended up doing forcing everybody who moved to the southern side of the zone to fight each other at the end.

00:41:45 Fair trade at the top and they just came in for the clean closing out of the game. And that's exactly how you need to play it. Sometimes you play fast and they try to make some stuff happen. Sometimes you play it slow with patience and you close out the game. And you can really tell that...

00:42:01 DKK und ZZ sind nicht glücklich mit diesen Resultaten, weil sie beide spielen für die Wün und nichts anderes sind. Stich auf High Ground für das lange? Ihr wisst was, was ihr macht. Ihr seid zu geben, um zu Leave-No-Witnesses zu geben, aber ihr seid sehr stolz auf den anderen Team zu nehmen. Leave-No-Witnesses sind sehr stolz für die Wün hier, die Ravine, wie du gesagt hast, zu perfektion. Aber ich bin wirklich interessiert, wie diese DKK und ZZ...

00:42:29 Interaction continues to play out throughout the day because they are playing like teams possessed, not for second place, but for first.

Analyse von Spiel 1 und Patch Notes Vorschau

00:42:39

00:42:39 Aber eine Sache, ich möchte auch sagen, dass wir eigentlich gesehen haben, ich mag die Kills, ich mag die Assists, ich mag die Damage Delft, aber Walsi mit den 7 Rests, Tit-Toeing, als wir gesehen haben, hat er 1.80 mit der Sensitivität, und er hat die Reste, und das hat die Reste für so lange geholfen, um dann zu können, um ein paar mehr extra Points zu bekommen, das ist wirklich wichtig, denn am Ende der Ende des Tages, racking up all die Points du kannst, das ist genau wie du das. Du hast auf den Leader.

00:43:08 ZZ, Leave No Witnesses, and DKK, all making it up to top 3. It was a slog to get here, I'm gonna be honest. CIMJ almost made it in, and Ninjas in Pajamas, again, shockingly, not making top 3, despite one of the weirdest games that I've ever seen from a macro perspective. Roll to Godspot.

00:43:34 Und ich denke, wir haben nicht die Ressourcen zu fighten DKK im Endeffekt. Aber das ist ein sehr interessantes Spiel zu sehen, weil es so viele Twists und Turns zu diesem Spiel war, und das war einfach unser erste Spiel. Wir haben noch fünf mehr Spiel. Aber bevor wir zum nächsten Mal kommen, wir werden einen kurzen Break.

00:46:28 Ja, ich denke, sie haben das sehr gut gemacht. Und ich würde auch noch mal sehen, die Final Circle zu sehen. Weil, wie ich immer gesagt habe, manchmal hast du zu spielen fast, manchmal hast du zu spielen. Ich denke, sie haben ihre Grunde sehr gut gemacht, als wir die Likes von CC und DKK gesehen haben.

00:46:53 They just made sure to hold their space and close out the game. Sometimes you can get greedy for this KP, and that could even lead to somebody getting immediately knocked. When you're playing in this fast-paced meta with the PKs and the Peters and the Charge Rifles, one small mistake can cost you absolutely everything. They opted to go for the secure of closing out the game instead, which I am all for. Get the KP when you can, but sometimes you gotta make sure you close out the game, because at the end of the day, you're playing six matches. Just putting points on that leaderboard is more important than getting that one specific pop-up moment.

00:47:25 From Leave No Witnesses' perspective, they were just praying that no one was going to drop on them, just waiting for the other shoe to preferably drop, and it never did. They were able to really kind of be patient down there, and it worked out in their favor in the end. It was definitely a tough spot for both DKK and Z. Z, as we take a look at some stats for Leave No Witness here, I mean, that was a...

00:47:51 Ja, definitiv. Ich dachte, dass sie vielleicht noch mehr Kills haben, als sie gespielt haben. Aber manchmal, die opportunity einfach nicht erscheint. Und es ist auch wichtig, dass man sich hier aufhören. Und, honestly...

00:48:16 Ich sage immer, wenn man immer wieder in den Endgame kann, dann wird es ein Spiel geben. So, wenn sie nur 5 Kills haben, wenn sie in den nächsten nächsten Kills sind, dann können sie noch mehr Kills haben, aber vielleicht nicht das gleiche Placement. Aber mit den Punkten sind alle 17 Punkte. Ich bin mehr als happy mit dem, ich bin sicher.

00:48:34 We know that even though they're not up here on the stats right now, also the 9KP going the way of DKK and ZZ will also set themselves up both nuggets. We also saw after that match, Kim Chi was the apex predator with six kills out of those nine for himself as well.

00:48:52 It's been an interesting start. A lot of the teams that we had mentioned at the top of the day that had a really strong showing last time, Pioneers notably was the first team out this time around. So we're seeing a little bit of a change up for some of those teams that had dominated. And I think we're also still waiting for some of the bigger teams to really still step up to the plate. Now, we're waiting for our players to get loaded into the lobby. So graceful, I'm excited to bring this up because I know you have a lot to say, but we mentioned it in EMEA. We have a patch.

00:49:21 So we're gonna pull up some patch notes so we can start to show people what you can expect if you haven't read them here already. And I know Graceful has a lot of things that he's excited for in these patch notes.

00:49:33 So, I'm very excited about the Passions coming up into next week. And never mind the fact that, you know, we will probably see some teams pulling out Seer again. Potentially Maggie, not nearly as much, I would say. Ashe getting reeled back a little bit because she's still very strong. However, Locked Hopup is one of the most frustrating parts because...

00:49:52 Peter Piercer ist der Grund, warum die Leute so schnell sterben sind. Sie machen das ein bisschen schwerer zu erreichen. Das macht es eher eine Late Game Scaling Weapon.

00:50:21 Ich glaube, es ist genug, dass wir jetzt schon ein sehr starkes Wettbewerb machen müssen. Aber wenn du mich gefragt hast, Glitter, ich denke, Schottguns sollte in der Klasse und nicht so stark in der Mid- und Long-Range.

00:50:44 I mean, it's, you know, what we used to see back in the day with all the bubble fights when it was Gibby Meta. It's definitely getting balanced into a much better place, but I think that I do agree with you Graceful, we're up close.

00:50:59 Ich bin gespannt, ob das Seer bringt. Ich bin gespannt, ob das Seer bringt. Ich bin gespannt, ob das Seer bringt.

00:51:29 A combination of the different maps, the legend bands, and just how fluid this whole year has been when it comes to metas, we very likely could see new legends being added into the rotation and teams starting to try new things similar to what we saw last week with as teams had swapped on over to Stormpoint, you started seeing that.

00:51:52 Trifecta of Gibby, Newcastle, Rampart, where only two teams are running it, then we start today in EMEA, and all of a sudden we see more people using it in a totally different region, Graceville. Is that not the nature of ALGS? I mean, yeah, it is, and the Legend ban system has been wonderful in that aspect, because you can, you know, you can pick and piece Legends apart a little bit, buffing them, nerfing them, but with the ban system, you can only get, like Caustic, you only get one game. It doesn't matter if it's too strong, because you only get that one game, and then they, you know, it...

00:52:21 Ich würde auch sagen, dass mit den Weaponsen geändert werden, P.K., die Accelerator eigentlich wird von der P.K. Also, wenn du das Clip gesehen hast, die wir zusammengebracht haben, wo du den Wall pump, pump, pump, und du hast den Wall wieder. Das kann nicht passieren, aber es ist nicht die gleiche Sache mit dem P.K. Also, es ist sehr interessant zu sehen, dass nicht nur Legends, aber auch Weaponsen geändert werden. Wir haben schon gesagt, dass das vorhin schon...

00:52:47 Oh, it took way too long before, and now it's happening a little bit rapidly, and I'm all for it.

00:52:51 Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, we'll take a look at our match schedule for today so you guys at home can know what to expect while we're getting match number two locked and loaded. Obviously, if you're just joining us, we just completed match number one here in Americas with Leave No Witness taking home the first win of the day with five kills going their way. Like you mentioned here, Graceful, the first ban of the day was also caustic with that 100% pick rate coming through. We won't get to see more than one match with him and that will, of course, you know, start.

00:53:21 Ja, es wird interessant sein.

Meta-Entwicklungen und Teamstrategien in EMEA

00:53:38

00:53:38 A lot of people have been complaining about the gas specifically, but you know at some point we get we come a full circle where Kossack is super deadly he gets nerfed nobody plays him and now he's back and I feel like at some point you just have to make that full moon rotation because we can't just have all the characters not good we need something to bring them back and I think so far it's been a good way of doing it. We've also seen or at least we saw today in Amiya just how impactful Watson is once she was brought in after that Kossack ban did go through and I'm hoping that we get a little

00:54:07 Wir haben noch ein bisschen mehr Variety aus den Amerikas, denn es war ein sehr ähnliches Lobby. Wir haben noch ein bisschen mehr Variety in EMEA, aber dieses Mal, es war sehr heavily wettet, wie du schon erwähnt, outside der Caustic, Altar und Newcastle. So, wir sehen uns wenn sie bereit sind.

00:54:26 Es scheint, die Leute sind opting für Wotzen, als in den anderen Regionen. Und ich fühle mich, wie oft, wenn man diese super-strong Teams in den Regionen hat, ist es, dass man immer zu folgen. Wie gesagt, über die Newcastle, Gibby und also Ramp, wenn etwas funktioniert, es funktioniert und die Leute versuchen ihre Besten. Weil, am Ende der Tag, die Leute können immer sagen... Wie soll ich sagen?

00:54:46 Ich denke, viele Leute sagen, dass sie einfach nur die Kopie sind, weil sie gut sind. Aber ich denke, viele Stunden, ist das wirklich wie wir alles lernen? Das ist das, was gut ist, von den besten Teams in der Welt ist, und du benutzt es zu deinem Kit, und du versuchen es zu machen, in einer Weise zu machen. Und ich denke, das ist die Schönheit der Leute zu sein.

00:55:06 And we see that happen season over season, whether it's a different region influencing the rest of the regions or an individual team within that region that tries something completely off meta or what people would consider off meta. And then it is so successful that it slowly becomes the new meta itself. And that's why it's really cool to see what our players are bringing to the table. And you can see, like you said, it is a lot of Watson coming through this time. We're going to start to see a little.

00:55:33 ein bisschen von Rampart in hier, aber ziemlich consistent across the board. Definitely. People are vouching for the same pace out and just swapping out the Cossack for Watson, making sure that, hey, we can keep the same macro, we can keep the same game plan, and I think that's a great idea. Seeing the zone as well here, though, you know, could be pulling out towards the bridge on the east side of this zone, which is a typical one we have seen, but if it does pull anywhere else, a lot of these teams will be fine, because...

00:55:58 We see here potential squads being caught out on a rotation Hotdog Mafia

00:56:27 Looks like Rambo is able to get a knock here, and they're going to be looking to move in and at least clear out some space themselves. Obviously, no team wants to go out this early, so they're just going to be down to a duo now on the receiving end of that. And probably a smart choice. I believe it was Zone Spammers that was over there as well to not really force anything too early if they're already on the back foot.

00:56:51 Ja, Alter ist auch eine der Charaktere, die das zu tun hat. Wenn du nicht Alter hast, dann kannst du nicht mit der 5 ausgehen. Das bedeutet, dass du sofort die Möglichkeit hast. Aber wir haben über Unreal-Dympere gesprochen, und sie sind sehr promising. Ich möchte sie hören, um sie zu sehen, was sie haben. Äh, haben wir noch eine Wall? Nein. Nein.

00:57:17 I could take one of the top ones. No, no, it's fine. Next time I'm gonna put a Newcastle wall facing the steps. That's the only thing I wanted. I'll probably just have to hold the fucking stairs a little time. So.

00:57:31 Make sure your walls are a little bit off. With our ray part shit, technically later we can TP out. My TP doesn't get too far, but it's like far enough where I get this strike up. Oh my god. I actually almost got yoinked. He can set up his kit down as well. Onto the wall. Or into a kit. Yeah, so he won't give you a rope to get back into it. If it's possible down there.

00:57:58 I'm fixin my walls. Can you place your walls like outside there? Right on the door. At least on this side. Just trying to queue me again. What do you want me to put on? I don't know. Just like out on the thing or something. We are not done.

00:58:20 Ich meine, das Brief-Listening war sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

00:58:40 I mean, they did almost get kidnapped, just barely avoided that by the skin of their teeth. So as long as they stay safe in that situation, then they should be good. Meanwhile, I did see ninjas in pajamas getting a knock in the kill feed. I believe it was on to leave no witness. It is. They're down to one. Now, after a win in match number one, you can see just the dichotomy that sometimes can be apex legends here is now you've got a solo trying to survive. See if that maybe.

00:59:07 He can escape far enough and long enough to get a full reset for Leave No Witness. Ninjas in Pajamas opt to not chase that as it is pretty far north and they've already at least moved partially in when it comes to safety in the next ring. So this will all be down to Zilac entirely to try and save the squad. Should be a fairly comfortable reset right there as we also see Falcons trying to reset. What?

00:59:34 Lost one of them in the building here. It is very scary though, because Zero is down, but there's so many teams here that nobody should realistically make a full send play on Falcons, because if they do, that opens up for the 3P, that opens up for the 4P. So they should be getting a reset here at any time soon. But if not, well then that's a rough game for them indeed.

00:59:58 Definitely less than ideal, but also, you know, we did get a chance to take a look at the current champs, Sandings, and Falcons were one of those teams that have accumulated so many points across the way as Waltzy's getting himself set up to try and create a safe landing space for Zero. He ends up getting taken out in the process. So now it's just Hal trying to survive down here, seeing what he can do, knowing that there is people looking at least down towards that Newcastle wall.

01:00:27 Manage to stick that respawn and they will live to see another day. I mean, that was crazy because even Newcastle will hold, but a small bit of that window was open to shoot his butt and he got taken out, but they're both, both of them are back here. They can probably, hopefully, maybe get back in and they do because they're actually charging midair and TP's back in. Now, however, double white armor and blue armor.

01:00:54 in the middle of the zone where there's several other teams it's not somewhere you want to be as they are getting absolutely demolished by every angle right now they do have a safe spot but people are not letting them get there for free they just don't have a lot of cover to be working with zero trying to use those iframes right now on alter to at least give himself a little bit of breathing room to get some shield off tries to stick the res instead of continuing to heal and gets punished for it immediately they tp back honestly that alter coming in clutch

01:01:23 As Walty will try his best to get them reset, but they are getting absolutely hammered right now by everybody around them.

01:01:32 He got kidnapped and now he got thirsted. This is so hard because you know who downed them as well? It wasn't even this building. It was this other building outside and wide in them. They're getting angled by pretty much four different teams, not getting a second to breathe right now. And it is costing them dearly. However, one good note though. Sol is pulling pretty much on top of them, making them safe for a while. So if they can get another reset, I mean, it's hard, but it's possible.

01:02:01 Three Kidnap Attempts, though. That just wouldn't let them breathe. Like that corner was both safe and unsafe in those moments. And it's going to be a rough road for Falcons right now. Like you said, not only did they not have the best armor, but all of the surviving they're having to do right now is eating away at their stores of heals. So they're going to have to figure out a way to get some kills and find some bags to loot because.

01:02:28 There are a lot of squads around them right now, and they're just barely hanging on, as you can see. Still down to a duo, and they're going to need to figure out a way to get Zero back up yet again as we get to check in this time with DMG and see how their push in is working. I believe they're up by Liquid Alienware right now, and they're right on the edge of this next circle, so they can hold for a little bit if they don't want to push this fight, but don't have too much time.

01:02:55 Und wenn man so viele Teams hier ist, jemand, einfach nur die Schmerzen,

01:03:24 Smallest little flame happening anywhere, and people will jump into it. Which does mean that Leave No Witness was able to get the full reset as they're back up to a healthy squad, and we check back in with Falcons. It's no longer just Zero down. Walt is down yet again. Hal is last man standing, trying to survive inside of this truck. You can see that there was an attempt at a kidnap, and honestly, what can Hal really do here? There's no safe place for him to go, and everyone is staring at him.

01:03:55 Ja, ich meine, es ist wirklich schwer. An diesem Punkt werden Sie versuchen zu stallen, für andere Teams zu machen etwas passieren. Realistisch, niemand würde einfach nur das, wenn sie den Van scouten haben. Aber die Teams, die jetzt bei uns, die jetzt bewegen, wahrscheinlich wissen, dass er ein Solo in da ist. Aber jemand, der hier kommt, wird es nicht. So es könnte mit Potenzial sein. Aber es ist sehr, sehr, sehr schwierig.

01:04:16 I think I saw another kidnap attempt on him right as we hopped off that top down. So we'll have to see if he's able to survive. Leave no witness. Has officially made their way back into the fray. Falcons did go down. That was a kidnap. And Hal is eliminated. Team Falcons are the first team eliminated here in match number two. And that is just not going to feel great. Nice shot out of Renatricky though.

Team-Eliminierungen, Strategische Positionierung und Zonen-Vorhersagen

01:04:40

01:04:40 198. Why does it do so much damage? Nobody knows. But it is nice to hear the shot. Not nice to feel the shot. Leave No Witness made it into the river. And they're actually on a good way of progressing into the next zone. They're already in the next one. Have an option to go into the next one as well. Into Circle 5. Potentially Circle 4. And now Hot Dog Mafia. In essentially the god spot. Where we talked about earlier. If it did end on the bridge. It ends very close to this bridge.

01:05:09 auf der Seite der Norden der Brücke, wo viel Kampf wird.

01:05:16 During that back and forth, both Sentinels and Unreal Nightmare are also eliminated as our teams are forced to collapse further in on each other. Checking back in with DMG, who was up by Liquid Alien, where they've now been joined by Leave No Witness. They went to the northern side of this circle, so now there's three teams in the fray, and DMG and Liquid Alien were just outside of it, so they will have to move in. Let's go over there.

01:05:42 Yeah, I believe that Liquid Alienware could play potentially on top outside by that rock, maybe. But DMG, not in a spot to where they can make a play. Unless they play on the bridge where they could get pinched by a lot of things happening. Team Liquid Alienware, we're probably looking to make them not run into them. We'll have to see if they can coexist here. But it's going to be hard as more teams are also moving in from the east.

01:06:07 We can see DMG trying to set up a little bit, give themselves some space as Liquid Alienware looking their way with that charge rifle in the hands of Hagwadis. Liquid Alienware definitely going to be hoping they can potentially clear them out before they draw too much attention because it's not just Liquid Alienware and DMG and leave no witness up there anymore. Just to the east, you also have Thuggets and Ninjas in Pajamas and we know how this works. The longer these fights take, the more attention you're drawing to yourself. So ideally...

01:06:34 They would like this to go as quickly as possible. As the ring has finally shrunk down, they will be forced to move out and figure something out. Meanwhile, over on the bridge, you've got DKK setting themselves up well for potential in this final circle.

01:06:48 Ich meine, DTK sind in der ersten Position gerade jetzt. Sie haben die God-Spot auf dem Bridge und auf dem Cliff. Wenn sie auf dem Cliff halten können, dann sind sie wirklich gut, um das Spiel zu close. Und sogar als wir jetzt sprechen, haben wir die Möglichkeit, eine Winde hier zu schießen, um andere Teams zu setzen. Aber für die Teams auf der Norden Seite sind sie zu kämpfen. CC included. CIMJ ist eigentlich...

01:07:12 They're in on their building, but if they get pushed in this building, it's not a comfortable spot to play at all, because like we saw earlier, people are getting kidnapped left and right by all the altercues. However, needing to fight here, ZZ in a spot to where they're gonna run into four or five teams crossing them. Ooh! DMG in a rough spot on this bridge. It's not really the best pace for them anymore. Leave No Witness is on the other side of it. They have Liquid Alienware at their back. They're down to a duo now trying to survive, and there's a lot of...

01:07:41 Ich glaube, Liquid Alien ist mit dem Pinch auf dem Brich, als DMG hat ihn aus dem Solow. Er ist jetzt live als Solow, um zu machen, mit dem TP zu machen.

01:08:06 By the big crane actually shooting at Liquid Alienware right now. But none of these guys are in the next zone. They all have to walk in into at least three teams holding them out potentially.

01:08:18 Sehr scary für sie, aber sie haben einen Angle, wo sie vielleicht...

01:08:45 Aber sie versuchen das CC zu schießen, mit einem Team in einem Team, als auch. In einem anderen Team, oder? Die Nice-Guy-Ges-Ges-Eliminatete hier bei 14k, als sie für das 3v3.

01:09:05 Oh! Oh! Oh!

01:09:27 Ich meine, jetzt werden sie verabschieden, weil sie verabschieden, sie wurden verabschiedet, sie wurden verabschiedet, sie wurden verabschiedet, aber Sykes ist auch in einem Spot, wo er nicht wirklich so gut ist. Das Sein Spot ist vielleicht so falsch, vielleicht, aufgrund der Hitbox des Charakter. Aber jeder ist jetzt absoluten Blastung sie mit Petersen Schacht-Rifles.

01:09:47 I can't catch a break over there. CIMJ right inside this building, trying to look towards Zach Mazur, who's trying to do a little fancy footwork to stay alive for ZZ. The last player remaining, able to crouch a little bit behind these rocks, somehow continues surviving, but so many sniper shots are coming in his way. He's down to just a shred of health and is not able to survive. ZZ are eliminated, and there is not a whole lot he could have done there.

01:10:11 Wenn du hast DKK und Alton Innes in Pajamas looking to shoot at you, es ist nicht viel zu tun von diesem Angle zu tun. Das Spot, wenn der Wall war, war es ein bisschen anders. Aber jetzt, die Pioneers walk in mit der Zone hier ist, wird es schwierig für sie. Aber wenn sie sich über den Weg zu dem, was sie auf dem Weg sehen, dass sie auf der Bühne gehen können, dass sie etwas passieren können, als sie hier sind. Jetzt versuchen sie nicht zu machen, von der Seite, oder von der Seite, oder von der Seite. Aber die Teams auf der Seite eigentlich...

01:10:37 Es wird das 3-3, es sieht aus. CIMJ ist auf sie. Kruel Buckle ist jetzt. J-KCP ist wirklich stark. Aber sie sind noch nicht sicher. Sie haben zu gehen.

01:10:50 Definitely a really strong opportunity, though, that Pioneers took. They heard the fights happening, and this is what happens. They were able to take a third-party opportunity and get themselves a little bit farther. And this low ground is very unforgiving, though, as they have dropped straight on top of Ninjas in Pajamas. They somehow survived. Ninjas in Pajamas go down. Pioneers own that western side of the circle. Might have a little bit of time to reset, while DKK are now on top of this rock, looking down on Thuggets.

01:11:19 Ich meine, wir haben es vorher schon gesagt, DKK zu haben, die absolute Godspot auf dem Kliff zu bekommen, um ein paar KPs zu bekommen. Aber wenn wir über die KPs sind, wenn es ein Team auf der Brille ist, das ist der Moment, um D.K.K. von dem Topf der Kliff zu entdecken. Wenn jemand möchte, der Spiel ist, muss man auf den Fall auf die Hive. Aber wenn niemand ist, das ist, dass das Fisch in a Barrel, wie wir sehen können, mit dem PK zu sehen. Aber sie fühlen sich richtig gut über sich jetzt.

01:11:46 Du sagst, die Teens auf der Brücke haben angefangen zu tun, DKK zu tun.

01:11:50 The Newcastle Shield comes out to try and protect their backs so they can keep looking down on the squads below. But you have Zone Spammers and Hot Dog Mafia on that bridge, in that bridge area, trying to see if they can survive just a little bit longer. Hot Dog Mafia on that low ground. Zone Spammers right above who were able to get back up to a full three after having lost one in the very beginning to Hot Dog Mafia. So this should be interesting to see if it's DKK that's able to close it out or those teams by the bridge as Thuggets are finally eliminated on that low ground.

01:12:18 This should be an easy game to close out for DKK. As long as they don't make a big mistake. And there was almost right there. But he managed to ult back up. So that's a good thing. In worse case now he probably could have TP'd up. But that could have cost them very dearly. Because the zone actually ends with a bit of the cliff inside Loren. That means the zone will end where they are standing. And shooting at everybody else needing to collapse down below.

01:12:41 The only way DKK can throw this is if somebody makes a YOLO full-on TP up on Hyde. But that's probably not what we're seeing as a lot of these teams are very good at this game. They know that we need to play for KP and we need to play for placement, not for the win because that's very RNG. Yeah, really, really good luck from DKK there. Meanwhile, Hot Dog Mafia have moved out from under the bridge. Ape Gang have gone straight dead center of that final circle and Zone Spammers are waiting.

01:13:07 To the very last moment to make their move. And hopefully what they're praying is going to be into a safe spot. It's not going to be easy for them though. Hotdog Mafia off on the side. Rambo does get knocked. As like you said, DKK are just waiting for people to go out to the open.

01:13:24 They're just relaxing right here, as we say. DKK looking down at all three remaining teams that they bring out their utilities to try and survive. They might actually pick up two KP out of three from soul spammers. Very big at the soul. They're actually closest very slowly on the cliff. They're looking to close out this game right now. Dropping down just a little bit to see if they can maybe get some more angles. The PK absolutely putting in work right now for Kion and crew. And DKK know that this is all about the perfect timing.

01:13:51 Du kannst sehen, dass Hotdog Mafia versucht, das ganze Zeit zu überleben. Sie sind sehr streckig mit dem Hintergrund, und es muss nach den letzten Momenten kommen. Will D.K.K.E. be able to holde auf den very enden Dropdown, um das zu cleanen? Und der Final Slam kommt von Drop. Hotdog Mafia wird nur noch ein paar P.K. Shots bevor D.K.K. Klosz Outmatch 2.

01:14:15 So this is the thing. We pretty much knew that DKK would win immediately when the zone pulled to that cliff and it ended pretty much on top of that cliff. But you know what they did that a lot of other teams struggled with? They got so many KPs across the board from poking people from long range to shooting people into that late game. They got 2 out of 3 KP on zone spammers and they got even more at the absolute endgame. And that's where we're calling like the consistency of getting endgame, but picking up those KPs is huge.

01:14:43 Yeah, they did a really good job of being patient to, you know, not trying to force any of those fights, just doing whatever poke they could from a distance, knowing that they had the best spot in the entire final circle, that they didn't really have to force anything that wasn't immediately given to them. And at the end of the day, gives them 11 kills to go along with their wins. So not too shabby for match number two.

01:15:05 Oh, they're definitely happy with that. But if we look a little bit further down a little bit as well, Ape Gang, Hot Dog Mafia, both of these teams are also happy with that. I always like to speak about the average of 6 points on average puts you in top 10 if you're happy with that and you're trying to make it into the regional finals. But when we're at the end of the day, if we're talking about consistency, needing to put up these points repeatedly is what you need to do. And if match one wasn't your thing, maybe match shoe would be there.

01:15:30 We'll get to see now what this means for our top three. Get some damage stats coming through because in almost 6k game for match number two out of DKK is gonna feel real good for Keon knocked and dropped. They just did so much damage between their snipers and the PK. Able to really clean a lot of that up followed by Ape Gang and Hot Dog Mafia who to be fair did a really good job surviving on that low ground for as long as they did because it was a messy and chaotic low ground and this is what it means.

01:15:59 für unsere Series results hier so far. 41 total points go the way of DKK, giving them a pretty decent margin, considering they also had that 2nd place finish in match number 1. So the consistency for DKK is definitely there right now, Bracewell. I mean, they're hitting endgame every single game so far. Only 2 games have been played, but making sure that you get 2nd and then 1st, and also a huge amount of KP pickups at that last game.

01:16:27 Es ist wirklich gut für sie. Sie sind so viele Punkte gerade jetzt, dass es weiter nach unten geht. Es könnte nach dem letzten Spiel gehen, oder man könnte nach unten gehen, bis die Top 5 auf den Top 5 gehen. Und wir sprechen über das viel, richtig? Was die Points-Spunch-Teams tun zu den resten der Lobby? Es ist ziemlich early zu sagen, so wir werden es warten und sehen. So natürlich, wir werden es einen Short Break geben. Und wenn wir in der Rückkehr kommen, werden wir direkt in die Match Nummer 3 gehen.

DKK dominiert, Meta-Analyse und World's Edge

01:19:41

01:19:41 Erika ist hier an der ALGS, als wir jetzt auf Nummer 2 haben. Und wir werden jetzt auf Nummer 3 gehen. DKK läuft jetzt die Show jetzt, Graceful. Und besonders in der letzten Endgame. Es ist schön, dass ein Team das weiß, wenn sie gewonnen haben, und weiß, wie sie es auszusehen. Wir gucken uns das mal, aber ich muss ehrlich sagen. Von, wie du gesagt hast, das Moment, dass wir nach DKK pullen,

01:20:07 Es ist nicht so kompliziert, was passiert, von DKK zu sehen. Es ist eher nur, um, wo zu suchen und wenn zu suchen. Ich glaube, dass sie ein sehr guter Job gemacht haben, um, was zu tun, und wo sie sollten, um, wie sie zu suchen, um, so dass sie sich die K.P. und nicht auf jemanden zu lassen. Ja, ich meine, wie ich gesagt habe, sie waren phänomenal bei K.P., und nicht nur hier, aber auch hier. Aber auch hier, um, sicherzustellen, dass ihr die Positionen hoch ist.

01:20:34 Ja, 11 kills after that game leaves us with one more match.

01:21:02 auf World's Edge. Und das wird ein bisschen interessant sein, weil wir nicht nur noch Kaustik haben, aber jetzt auch noch Neucastle haben. Und Neucastle hat viele Teams geholfen. Es ist auch so, dass wir uns auf Alter haben, also dass wir so lange halten haben, also dass wir so lange haben. Aber die Reset Potenziale sehen, wie Neucastle, und die Abilität zu halten mit Caustik nicht mehr gibt.

01:21:28 Yeah, I mean, and never mind the fact that we're talking about the reset potential of Alter, we're also looking at the Q through walls. It's very volatile. All it takes is for somebody to get double Peter Shard or Charged Ruffle immediately, and any team can just bust in through the walls. There's nothing saving you even in these buildings. So having potentially, if Alter does end up getting banned now, or if another character does, I feel like on World's Edge specifically, she's the most potent due to the fact that everything is so close here compared to the likes of Storm Point or Edith Trick, where you can...

01:21:57 visibly see everything. There's so much space around you. There's so many paths and you don't really get locked in. But when you're locked into a small space enclosure here on Worlds Edge, it's even more terrifying.

01:22:08 Moving into our third match, it does appear that, like we're talking about Alter, that Alter is once again at the very top of the table when it comes to picks. This time tied with Watson, which has been the pivot for a lot of teams out of Newcastle. So again, we're going to be looking at what teams place highly and figuring out what Legend gets banned as we move into Stormpoint.

01:22:36 If either Alter or Watson are available, both are going to change Storm Point.

01:22:40 Dramatically. Taking a look at this zone, however, this is right on top of CIMJ, who have got a ring console. I'm looking at Thuggets over at Countdown who have got one, and I can't tell if DKK have one at Epicenter, but this is the game where you'd certainly like it. Leave No Witnesses have already scouted this out, you can tell, because of the balloon that they've placed, or that has been placed for them over at Overlook once they hit the ring scan.

01:23:06 But getting into Monument, and getting specifically into the part of Monument that you think it's pulling to, is going to be the thing you must do. DKK did in fact do that over at Epicenter, and it is a sprint to what you imagine will be Center Zone. Yeah, I mean, we're still seeing all of these teams here. Actually, Unreal Nightmare. Immediately bringing it to a fight here. Getting down Smiles and Thursim. Huntsman, as we saw in the clip earlier in the pre-show, was very passionate.

01:23:31 Und ich liebe Passionate. Ich liebe Passionate. Du musst dich in, du musst dich bereit sein. Und wie ich immer kommuniciere, in deinem Compte, wenn du mit dem Emphasen und Gefühl hast, das macht es mehr klar. Es macht es mehr... Wenn ich sage, Dia, kannst du das? Du musst das nicht. Aber wenn ich sage, du musst das, Dia, du musst das jeden Tag. Und ein bisschen von Huntsman, das wir gehört aus dem Clip, ist wirklich toll.

01:23:57 Ja, und es macht eine große Unterschiede, wie du sprichst, weil es nicht nur ein Wort ist, Volumen ist Kommunikation in vieler Weise. Und wir sehen vieles aus, auch in den Close-Range-Fights zwischen Falcons und Thuggets. Finally, etwas geht Falcons'-Way! Thuggets sind da, und Monument ist ein bisschen safer für sie, als sie waren die Teams, die von Harvester, mit der Ring-Console, in den Center-Zone und jetzt haben sie ein Bild.

01:24:26 Ja, Falcons definitiv looking a lot happier than last game, where they were getting shot in whites and blues by absolutely everybody in that building in Lava Siphon. Now, getting 3kp from the start is always good, and they have a prime real estate, essentially. Depending on where the zone pulls, if it does end up pulling away, we're gonna have to work a little bit harder. But it does look like the zone is actually pulling more towards the monument or frag side and monument side comparatively to the west side. So that's a good thing for them. As we see, more teams are also walking in. One of the teams that actually won the last game,

01:24:55 DKK in a really good spot here. However, this is also one of the areas where you're very happy because you're central, but this is one of the buildings that you don't really have super many safe spots because any team can just peek through windows and doors at you, and there's so much area to hold. It's a little bit scary, but I believe they can do it.

01:25:15 Und wenn ich ehrlich bin, wie ich gesagt habe, oder wie ich gesagt habe, ich bin sehr supportive von dieser Position. Ich denke, du kannst viel von hier sein. Es gibt nicht viele M-Zones, die direkt auf DKK pullen. Viele von ihnen werden ein bisschen zu den Norden, das wird sie, um sie zu entdecken. Es ist nicht eine Endgame-Bildung, die ihr Hoping-Zone pulls zu, oder ist sie auf dem Topf. Du wirst eventuell haben sie zu entdecken. ZZ, die wir über über Landslide gehen.

01:25:41 Actually should have a Zone Scan themselves. Oh, but the Survey Beacon is really what's let them take this fight. Picking that up at Landslide, they are moving right on top of KCP. And having already taken one down, remember we've still got alters in this game, KCP can disengage. But instead, they will choose to reset. KP Bubble gets taken down by Zac, a nice quick EMP.

01:26:03 Which might lead to a knock on Jay, but instead it's Cruelbuckle that goes down first. ZZ, unrelenting, continue to push KCP right into the arms of TSM on the other side. TSM right there also joining their frame. Getting a KP for free in the back on the likes of KCP. Very happy with that as they're still not, you know, they're not in any danger by any means. They're just scouting ahead. Most of these teams actually, well not most, well actually most of these teams.

01:26:30 Das macht es viel einfacher, dass du sicher bist, wenn du nicht geholfen bist, außer dass die Leute von Charged Raffeln mit einem 6x-Sex, du kannst eigentlich scouten. Das macht es sehr schön für sie zu bekommen, dass sie eine Free Kp haben, und wir sehen, was passiert, als Falcons, wieder in der Kampf, als er gettetet wird von Rock.

01:26:50 EMP being eaten by the Falcons as well. Takes away a lot of the safety they had with Watson. Hal's not able to put up the fences in time. It's gonna have to 1v2 as Rock start moving in, swinging this door. Zero gets pushed on the bottom floor. Hal's gonna come to support and they do in time, working in tandem. Falcon and Zero push off Rock and get the reset. Waltzy managing to heal in the meantime. No EMP available for Rock.

01:27:18 And now Falcons get to rebuild and actually sustain through this rock push.

01:27:24 Also, weil ein R.O.K. aus dem Weg in den Top-Door war, wo er wurde von der Seite getötet. Das ist eine Sache, wenn es die Sniper-Metta gibt, hat viel mehr Leweil zu nehmen. Aber jetzt, wenn wir in den Punkt kommen, wo du 2-tapst bei Peter und 1-tapst bei Charge Rifle, wie wir gerade gesehen haben, dann plötzlich explodiert. Du hast nicht mehr Raum für diese Fehler gemacht. R.O.K., however, sieht man, dass er sich aus ein bisschen rauskommt. Und jetzt ist es ein Reset für beide Seiten. Falken ist sehr glücklich.

01:27:54 Nindas in Pajamas, we're looking right now, are also holding off their spot

01:28:00 Oh! Oh! Oh!

01:28:27 Ja, ich meine, wir also haben to highlight...

01:28:47 So, however, pulling more towards the...

01:29:16 One of the sols we saw earlier in the region of EMEA where it's more towards the...

01:29:21 Frag side, rather than the Monument side, it looks like. Could be pulling up a little bit, but if it does end up pulling southeast, I'm more than happy with that. One of the endings that I personally like here, though, is the one I like to call Park. That's the top right in the next zone's Moby Rest, or the Rest Beacon right there. If it ends in that area, I'm a big fan of it, around that crane, outside of Train Station. I feel like you have a lot of cheeky angles, and if you like mechanical plays, where you see a lot of wall bouncing, maybe a little bit of cheeky Superglide, that's the area to do all of those fancy...

01:29:50 D.M.G. versuchen wir es zu machen. D.M.G. versuchen wir es zu machen. D.M.G. versuchen wir es zu machen.

Strategische Manöver, Teamkämpfe und Zonenrotationen auf World's Edge

01:30:17

01:30:17 As Ninjas in Pajamas do largely seem to reset, DMG retreating back to Epicenter and leaving Sentinels to do what they will. How goes the Void Nexus? That's gonna be spotted by everyone and I'm including DMG here. Ninjas in Pajamas put themselves basically dead center of Epi.

01:30:36 With a big target on their back, Epicenter very much being fought over as well, as it is one of few places where you can get Ring 3 scanned. There is a Ring console right in the center of Epi. If you're able to claim it, if you're able to hold on, because look what Alienware will do. You'll have access to a lot more information.

01:30:54 Indeed, as NIP gets eliminated right there. Sentinel's coming in late with the zone, playing right there on the platform. Northwest is looking happy with that one cheeky KP. DMG, however, occupies what I like to call the icicles up top of that cliff. Very happy with that play, as they do have still the same combo as we saw earlier. If they can land an EMP, potentially a Wraith TP play again on any team down below, they could make stuff happen.

01:31:21 Es wird eine Frage, wenn du Doppelst, und wie der EMP-Tippe mit den EMP-Tippen wird. Das ist eine der wichtigsten Kühne, die wir sehen, um diese Teamfighten zu sehen. DMG holding Epicenter, doch. Sie haben eine Priorität auf Ring-3-Scan. Für jetzt wird die Survey-Beacon gewonnen. Und ich bin sehr interessiert, ob sie eigentlich aus dem Ring-3-Scan take advantage, oder nicht. Sie hätten sie, als sie, wieder, die nur Team, die eigentlich kann das Info bekommen.

01:31:50 But it is going to cost them when it comes to actually pulling out meds in zone. Tanking the ring for a little bit. To know that we are going a little closer to the park. Maybe a little further south. But I think you'll like this zone plenty, Graceful. I mean, I like this zone plenty. It might not be dead center park, but it could be pulling a little bit. Hotdog Mafia, Train Station, currently very happy. Durax, in the middle of where the Beacon building is, are more than happy as well. As all of these teams on the far west side is going to have to engage each other.

01:32:19 And speaking of engaging, I would like to hear how DKK is solving this fighting's potential. So let's have a listen in with DKK. DKK will have to see another moment as he had a little bit of an issue right there. But that's fine as Kion is currently lighting things up with nades right now. Having the Eva and Scout in hand. No real play is happening as they both got extended with both of the nades and the utility usage. But nothing so far has unfolded as everybody trying to get angles but gets angled by other teams. A lot of other squads here so you have to be careful about...

01:32:57 When you engage, when you full commit, and have the backup up your squad. DKK's problem is not only this, though, it is going to be their rotation coming up next. The amount of Crypto drones in the air right now, I'm looking in the upper left. Everyone has scouting. You know where every team in the lobby is. You know, Falcons are right on top of Unreal Nightmare.

01:33:21 I mean, this is a proactive.

01:33:47 Proactiveness we're used to seeing out of Falcons, where they're so happy taking fights to people, instead of just getting played and trying to get kidnapped on, they're the ones pushing the fights to other people. Seeing that charge ruffle in play as well is terrifying with the Select Fire, as Hot Dog Mafia, however, on the eastern side, is looking to rotate a little bit further, as they are now occupying the bottom floor of train stations, sharing this potentially.

01:34:10 We are going to get a lot of

01:34:39 If we're going to go that way. Streamer Building Plague. Very famous area of Fragment. As Rock will have to be approaching this from the outside. Playing through the train line. It got ZZ right next door to them. And Rock, consider their options. Resetting back into Monument, I'll say is a risky choice. As you want to be able to contest for high ground against only one team.

01:35:06 Rock seem to be suffering from a bit of indecision. Do we actually stay up here and fight ZZ? Or do we go down into the mess with everyone else?

01:35:28 The EP hits and immediately bubbles. Staying safe for the moment. And Leave No Witness is trying to pray. Please don't look at us as they are getting gun pound right next doors. Gibby's too tall. Getting shot even through the bubble. A rather very tip top of it. Does leave. Leave No Witness. Essentially cooked on the high ground. They've got no cover. They've got no Gibby up to give them that fake cover now. Leave No Witness will go down.

01:35:56 16 squads left is DKK actually playing very well to have moved themselves a little closer have a spot technically in zone CIMJ push to try and take it away from them and DKK managed to clear them out CIMJ almost gone while DKK play the

01:36:15 Gibby Bubble from the team below them. CIMJ are out. Nice Guys and DKK share a building. EMP comes in as 14k residents go down. And ZZ from the outside of Fragment are farming the lobby with the 30-30s. Falcons eventually drop down seemingly out of nowhere having lost two and just down to zero as the Nice Guys will ball.

01:36:38 Just down to zero, because we had about five teams needing to collapse from the northern side right there. DKK, one of the teams that have been top two, top one the game after, and now still in a pretty much endgame scenario, moving into it, just about 13 teams alive, feeling really good about themselves, currently seeing it at 45 points, saying that, hey, there is a team above, can we try to kidnap, can we do something, as they're getting engaged on right now by Legatron, making huge plays with R9PK. Countdown just knocked, looking for a way out.

01:37:06 Way to save the team. He may get a reset here, but no. Shot in the side as DKK and Falcons go out at basically the same time. Rock him in onto low ground into ZZ. And might actually do it. Sorcerer cleans out ZZ and takes the low ground for his team.

01:37:24 Trying to get the reset a little bit hard right there with bodies on the backs as well But he does it looks like he should be fine for the moment DMG is still doing works right here with that PK as now Rock Esport down in the lava gets taken out as TSM is very happily looting that up

01:37:40 A nice extension by TSM. Good timing. And to eliminate Rock here actually puts TSM in a fantastic position. They've got a spot in next zone. They've got a building in next zone. Nice shot by DMG. Let's put them just a little bit ahead and grab a KP here to add to the already four that they have. Taking it a fifth for the squad. And we'll take that one up to six as 8th gang just throw themselves into the back of DMG. EMP to buy.

01:38:09 DMG, ein bisschen mehr Platz für die Gap, in die Streamer-Bildung zu gehen. Die Sentinels sind bereits hier und die Wotzen-Fenzen. Das ist hier, wo man sich die Majority des Teams stacken. Wir haben Liquid Alien, wo Sentinels, Durags, Hotdog Mafia und DMG sind alle in dieser Geburt.

01:38:27 All of the PKs are singing. We hear about 10 PKs go off at the same time right now as DMG is on the bottom. We have T-Law in the middle and we have Sentinel one floor up as well as teams are trying to survive. TSM gets a Kraber somewhere, gets a down on DMG, but not too much is going to happen right now, maybe unless he starts widening very deeply. Oh, he is widening very deeply. Panic is looking to make plays. However, EMP comes out. Faces come out from DJ Killa. We saw that setup from earlier. Managed to hold him up as they get a reset. Nades are coming out as well. It's not going to be as easy to watch them out.

01:38:56 Das war ein sehr guter Spiel von DJ Killa und DMG zu halten, auch mit dem EMP sie hatten. Hotdog Mafia geht in Liquid Alienware. Das könnte es sein, ein Team, der in der Lage ist, hat sich in den Leaderboards gehalten.

01:39:15 If they manage to clean this building out, this could be Liquid's way back into the Americas Pro League. Nazul bubbles backwards. This is a defensive move, giving GMG the advantage around the outside who get to reset with no problems.

01:39:30 Defensive Nade gets thrown out. Nezul swings with it. Buys a little bit of space. Gets just a tickle of damage. 104 to face does help. Liquid Alienware 2 still have to back off. Too many angles by DMG on the outside. DMG will be unharassed.

01:39:46 Uncontestable, die Quedalienware haben zu lassen und spielen für die Inseite, für die Exit. Watchtet die Bubbles, als die Teams verletzten, die diese Gebäude zu gehen und zu TSM, die so low sind, in die Gebäude, die sie nach dem Südwest halten.

01:40:01 TSM hat nicht auf den Pressure, als T-Lof hört das down, ist er sofort zu schlafen, zwei Mitglieder des DMG sind da und sie sollten jetzt aus sein. Als TSM hat die größte der Zone gewonnen. Zone Spammers und Pioneers sind zu den Eidern und müssen sie für etwas fighten. Aber wenn TSM kann die Eidern-Side auf den Eidern-Side verletzen?

01:40:21 Good things could come out, but the zone actually ends between all of these three buildings out in the middle of the street. It comes down to which GP bubble gets thrown out last and which has the most cover to get out. And it's actually looking really good for Liquid 8 Anywhere and Sentinels in this building. Because I believe the zone is right outside of their building. Their building is out the last.

01:40:42 Liquid Alien werden die größte, zwischen dem und TSM zu finden. Weil diese zwei Gruppen werden sich in den anderen throats sein, wie du bist. Gibby Bubbles ist die Key Cooldown in diesem Endgame. Die EMP geht aus, das ist 1. Die EMPs sind wirklich ein Problem. Die Ultra-TP, Liquid Alien, wir sind in den Open. Und wir werden jetzt ein EMP in die EMP nehmen. Oh, das ist ein Problem! Oh, das ist ein Problem!

01:41:08 Liquid Alienware hold on to their cover. So do Sentinels. And now Liquid Alienware get to hug the wall. Sentinels right on the other side of Yanya.

01:41:16 He's got to be careful. The rest of Liquid Alienware move over to join him, while TSM far in the southern side of this wall. Zone spammers go out. Sentinels are forced into TSM. Liquid Alienware all alike, but they get wrapped up by TSM as well. TSM plays both sides of the fence, moves down to two squads, and it's one member of Liquid Alienware left. Yanya cannot stand in the face of TSM, who run this lobby in Game 2.

01:41:40 TSM breaking those teams apart at its own. The zone collapsed from the eastern side. Everybody was forced to fight each other because TSM was showing so much pressure. Probably with Death Kramer, probably with Panic's nades. We saw those nades hit really hard as they're trying to force everybody else to fight each other. We talked about it earlier. Can you hold out your side if you're good? As also Team Liquid 8 Anywhere had a good timing. Almost got...

01:42:05 Got punished by the Crypto MP, the drone gets destroyed, but that does not matter because when you have three teams needing to come from the same side, you're bound to get a team that is challenging your side of the wall. TSM ran that game so hard, it knocked me back a whole game, guys. Game three. I was sitting there like, wait a minute, that doesn't sound right. Oh my lord, though. Playing both sides of the fence, playing this single building that they managed to have all to themselves. I mean...

01:42:32 TSM did a really good job of controlling space and did so, honestly, pretty quietly up until the endgame, up until the last rings. We saw them extend towards Rock, like you mentioned. They gathered a lot of KP. They were very active, but they weren't making crazy pushes. They were sending single members out here and there to grab KP, and that makes a huge difference when we get into the endgame zone.

01:42:53 I mean, those are the things you have to talk about when you have the likes of Crypto as well. And you have, you know, Altar specifically, when you can roam far and still get back to your teammates. And you have to take advantage of that. And we saw that, but like you said, the lava play, they get the loot from there. And then now this whole team had to play outside a building, DMG, they're trying to pressure and punish them. And I always like to say, you have to play proactively because if you don't try, if you don't at least try to get an opportunity, like it never comes. So it's really important. And I love to see this proactiveness out of TSM because...

Zusammenfassung der finalen Kämpfe und VOD-Analyse

01:43:23

01:43:23 That's how you rack up more kills. That's how you rack up more loot as well. And it really, they played phenomenally that game. PSM with 7kp. Match up nicely to Liquid Alienware's 11. Liquid actually pushing ahead and technically grabbing the first place in overall points this game despite not finding the win. Pioneers right behind them. A little bit low on the kills, but still.

01:43:49 Pretty good game for Pioneers. Let's take a look at the TSM Liquid Alienware stats comparison, because these two teams were really what it came down to. We were talking about it for basically the last two zones, but Liquid Alienware was set up for success, as were TSM, and it ends up working out really well for honestly both squads. I don't think as either team you're walking away unhappy with what just happened.

01:44:14 Ich denke, beide Teams sind sehr glücklich mit das, als wir auch sehen, dass sie 2nd sind, sie 1st sind in das Spiel, aber wir sehen uns TSM move auf den 4th Platz in total, und wir können sehen, die ersten zwei Teams, Liquid und Alien, als DKK ist 45, ist sehr even, nach Top 2. Glitter, in generell, sind Sie mit diesem Match sehr heated, aber auch ein bisschen Top-Heavy in der overall Leaderboard?

01:44:43 Yeah, and I'm here for it, okay? First of all, the absolute insanity that all of those altar portals were causing at the end to get everybody out of the buildings, out into the open, was pure chaos. The fact that the EMP got canceled and somehow left the Gibby Bubbles up for a little bit longer to give some additional cover, also insane. But like, there were so many good teams in the final fights that it was...

01:45:10 Honestly, just down to luck of the draw with your final circle positioning. And TSM had so much open space and no one near them on their side that it was bound to go their way. But, I mean, that was fun. That was really, really good final circle. The teams fought very well for those last scraps of points. And TLA able to do a little bit of a comeback there at the end is also kind of cool to add into the story. I think definitely an opportunity.

01:45:39 für viele die Teams zu gehen und sehen, was, wenn es etwas, was, wenn es nicht, haben wir verändert. Und zu versuchen, ein bisschen mehr KP in den Situationen, das ist etwas, was wir haben über alle EMEA gesprochen, und in generell, in Relation zu COMP in den ALGS. Wie soll das eine verbessert werden? Wie soll man besser werden? Wie wichtig sind die...

01:46:05 Non-game-specific things like VOD Review in your journey. And that's something that you guys are going to talk about here today. You did a really cool segment earlier in EMEA, so if nobody saw that, if you guys in chat missed it, go check that out. Go ahead and do something similar here today and do a little bit of VOD Review with Dia and Graceful for everybody at home. So Dia, tell us a little bit about what we're looking at.

01:46:25 In sticking with the theme that we've got in the Americas today, looking at what teams are causing the most disruption, I really wanted to follow and check in with Unreal Nightmare, who made a big splash last week. They had some really good games. Obviously, we saw their win. And they had some games where they looked like they were in a good spot, but fell a little short. And it's that that I've selected as we moved on to World's Edge with this team. They had a really good game moving out of Landslide. And Graceful, I wanted to get your perspective as a pro.

01:46:54 ... ... ... ... ... ...

01:47:25 Ich bin, ich bin.

01:47:57 So, I mean, we still had Huntsman onscreen, we still had his passion at comms, albeit a little more subdued, because this play didn't quite end up going their way. What was the big standout for you, Graceful, when these last couple of minutes of play happened? I would like to say that if we could have had a couple of seconds earlier leading into that positioning, I would have loved to hear, did they preplan anything at all? Because it all sounded very last second. And this is one of the things as an IGL that you want to avoid. You don't want to make things...

01:48:25 confusing for your teammates so that everybody is on the same page and knows what's going to happen so they did say that two guys are down and we're going to drop down low but i would almost honestly in hindsight obviously it's 2020 ever because we get to see everything in the full picture that you probably don't have while you're playing the game however i would probably have liked to see them drop down on the height above where they dropped to make sure and fight for something because a lot of the times you don't want to get into a positioning where you're praying that teams on the other side of the wall it's just

01:48:53 Things are going to happen favorably for you. You would rather take it in your hands and make sure that if we just drop and we get this fight immediately and win, we're now in a favorable position to be proactive. What really looked at them from there is they dropped and immediately we saw the Ash, Davies try to actually be back up. Nobody knows what happened. Oblivion climbed on them and PKed them.

01:49:14 Those are the situations we want to avoid. As the flip side of things we saw earlier, you know, in the clip from before, very vocal. They said, I'm pushing this bridge, I'm about to full swing. Everything was very clear and communicative. And it's very hard to do this when...

01:49:27 Everything is last second. How are you going to preplan if you're last second? I just found out about it, so now we have to do it. One guy drops way earlier, and if there was a team, he would have been insta-dead. So a lot of the times, you just have to try to be on the same page. So I would like to see them work from this clip specifically. Obviously, they probably have other things they work on and prioritize from this clip that we can take away. Try to be on the same page and preplan a little bit better, because that would help your team be on the same page.

01:49:51 Ja, und wir arbeiten in ziemlich small segments, right, als zu was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was,

01:50:20 Look forward to solving as they continue to climb up the ranks here in the America's Pro League. So I think those are our big takeaways, Glitter. A very impressive team, but we've identified some stuff that can make them even better. Very impressive analysis as well as always, guys. Thank you so much for doing that. That was very cool. So hopefully all of you in chat enjoyed that as well. And another thing that all of you in chat are going to enjoy is a little special announcement, but maybe some merch.

01:50:45 Okay, because, you know, we couldn't have ALGS without something to give to you guys, because some limited drops have just arrived at the Play Apex Shop, and trust me, you do not want to miss out on these. While you're there, be sure to sign up for notifications, because there are limited edition encoded Nessie shirts available September 16th, and rumor has it, there will be a launch discount promo for a short time.

01:51:10 So make sure you check that out because there's some really cool stuff that you guys could be picking up here during our split. I know I'm going to check it out myself as well, you know, especially to get that promo code. All right, now.

Analyse von Match 4 auf Storm Point: POI-Drops und Legend Bans

01:51:24

01:51:24 We've got to start talking about match number four, though, because we got there our first three matches today, which also means everybody home. We're now changing maps. Let's take a look at the POI drops, see what's going on here as we move towards Storm Point. So let's start the discussion here, Dia. Give me your thoughts.

01:51:43 Das ist Falken's Grabbing Cascade.

01:52:12 Not something that we typically see them play out of. And nonetheless, something that they prioritized. It's very clear that this was their first pick. But Cascade for Falcons doesn't quite make sense to me when they're normally playing around the Lightning Rod Thunder Watch area. Yeah, definitely going to be a little bit different for them. And Graceful, I also want to ask, because something that we saw...

01:52:35 in Americas that we didn't see in EMEA was a very early Newcastle band. Newcastle was available in EMEA. He's not going to be available here now on Storm Point. So how do you think that's going to play into our Storm Point gameplay?

01:52:47 Ich meine, um die Falcón-Pixen zu sein, das ist auch ein Teil zu sein. Ich sah ein Post auf Reddit, actually. Shout-out to Reddit und alle in Chat. Wenn du nicht... Wenn du etwas expecting, und es ist etwas komplett anders, dann kann das alles aufhören. Somebody sagte, Falcón dachte, dass es sehr aggressiv wäre. Es war nicht aggressiv, sie wurden punished. Falcón dachte, es war sehr defensiv, es war sehr offensiv, und sie wurden punished. So jetzt, sie versuchen, Dinge zu machen und versuchen, was passieren, was passieren.

01:53:16 ...previous rounds and matches, and then try to solve things. And I think a lot of these teams might end up doing that, especially with the Legend fans as well. However, I do think that it is a solid point to start from somewhere, I guess. I love it.

01:53:29 I love it, Grace. Well, thank you very much. It's been a long day here so far for you in America. So we're going to give you a quick break. Me and Dia are going to take over as we head into match number four. So we'll see you back here in just a little bit. But Dia, it's time to start diving into Stormpoint. I'm sure we're still going to get a lot of the bubble trident combos here, but no Newcastle to go with that Gibby Rampart Newcastle trio.

01:53:51 No, unfortunately. Or fortunately. I don't know. It depends on what side of this you're on. Yeah. I know that, what is it? Alter got taken out after last game. Yeah, it was Alter that is now banned. So moving into Stormpoint, I am, I will say, glad to see Alter taken out. She's fun to have for a few maps. But in the long term, I like seeing the forgiveness that teams get with Alter taken away. And as we move into this match, all I'm thinking Glitter is, it's game four. It's game four. It's not game three. It's game four. Listen, sometimes the

01:54:21 Das ist wahr. Und ich werde nicht aufhören.

01:54:30 I will move on so, so quickly onto Stormpoint, which I will say is one of the best maps if you're looking for a little bit of nuance to be brought into your Apex Legends, because there is so much diversity in how the zones here play. There is so much height discrepancy that you can look forward to, and unlike Worlds Edge, there's not a whole lot of safety here. If a team wants to fight you, they are going to fight you. You can't just bunker inside a building and hope for the best.

01:54:58 Yeah, I'm just gonna throw this out there just for consideration while we're watching TSM do their opening loo here. Checked the legend pics real quick. We have just as many Maggies as we do Ramparts in this lobby right now. And we had talked about the patch rounds potentially making Maggie more viable. Well, you know, just saying. Yeah, true, true, true. I, you know, I don't think that this is...

01:55:22 Just an idea, you know?

01:55:51 This is going to be crazy. And you can see the swiftness with which you've got ninjas in pajamas up there. Durag's moving up. Leave no witness straight in from the wall. I mean, people knowing that one, there were already, like you said, a lot of teams up there. And two, that that means even less real estate options to hold as early as possible. So this is going to be a rough fight. And as I say, that leave no witness already lose one.

01:56:17 und wir sind dann mit einem Injured-Duo auf White Shield. Das wird schwer sein. Es ist. Liquid und ZZ, wir sind auf sie, aber man muss sich daran fühlen, wie Leave-No-Witnesses, Nice-Guys, N.I.P., die alle haben Ring-Consult und eine Close-Po-I und sagen, wir können es. Aber alle anderen wissen das auch. Wir haben Teams von überall auf der Welt, voll senden.

01:56:45 in die Nord-Pad-Area. Und ... ... und ... ... und ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

01:57:14 Das added measure of ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Strategien und frühe Rotationen auf Storm Point

01:57:37

01:57:37 ...epitome of the slow side of the zone so they can really hang out there for quite some time and kind of let everybody else figure out what they want to do and kind of play off of those decisions as the teams are coming in. And we got a quick little second there to see our first Bubble Trident rotate of Stormpoint. The first of May. This has become the meta.

01:58:01 After our interview this morning with Aku, I was on Twitter and people were like, well, I mean, obviously you just don't need Wraith if you're going to pull off the Trident Bubble Rotates. And it's true, it's true. It's weird.

01:58:14 Aber es ist wahr, das ist ein schönes Headshot von Noct. DKK ist auf die Zone. DKK und Falcons sind in der gleiche Boat hier. Sie sind nicht in der Zone zu sehen, besonders early auf. Sie haben in die gleiche Richtung, aber sie sind in der gleichen Richtung, aber sie sind in der anderen Seite. Sie sind für Evo mehr als für Endgame Position. So DKK ist die Setup.

01:58:34 Tamporary. They're not too attached to it, because realistically, you're playing for a better spot later. And you can actually get that if any teams are interested in moving down to Cito, moving through Downed Beast, even late rotating through Wall. Those are all POIs that can give you third beacon information that'll let you play an endgame even better. Not to mention, DKK can afford to be a little bit wildly aggressive because of how they've set themselves up in this series, but a team that's...

01:59:00 Ein bisschen slower start in der Serie ist, definitiv Falcons. Sie sehen sie sich wieder auf den Weg zu setzen. Sie hatten gesagt, dass sie in den gleichen Rotationalen Bereichen waren. Falcons finden sich in ein bisschen ein Back-and-Fort mit der Duraks, mit den Duraks zu halten. Sie sind able, mit den P.K. von Hau. Können Sie ihn auf.

01:59:21 Does he cancel that bat? Why does he die so quickly? Nice guys. Nice guys. I swear he canceled that bat. Falcons reset. Nice guys go down. I'm left with a few question marks, but ultimately a win for Falcons. It takes them that much further in the game. And already moving up to 10th place is...

01:59:42 A better spot than they were in on the first day of Pro League. So Falcons, despite making some changes or cooking up some changes to the future, are already improving as a trio as we go from day to day.

01:59:58 Hotdog Mafia. Team that started off the day pretty well so far. Now checking in on them here as we've moved into store point all alone in command center right now. So they're going to be able to at least grab a little bit of loot and try to continue through from that eastern side. Could potentially run into a few squads the farther in they push. So it'll be interesting to see what they do with their rotate once they make their way out of command center.

02:00:24 But they do have at least a lot of information at their disposal with Death Barrow. Gonna get a lot more, too. One of, I'm gonna count them, one, two, three, four teams? Five. One of five teams that now have access to this. I'm noticing Rock, TSM, Hot Dog Mafia, Pioneers, and the Thuggets will all have, oh, end zone spammers up at North Pad. All now know where this zone is going. And actually, it's pulling.

02:00:52 Das ist wirklich gut für Liquid Alienware. Das ist ein bisschen weiter North, als man normalerweise hätte es zu gehen, aber etwas über Liquid Alienware ist heute. Sie haben eine gute Nummer 3 gemacht. Mal sehen, was sie können in Nummer 4 machen. Aber das ist ein Team, das braucht ein Comeback. Ich glaube, sie müssen Top 4 sein, um sich in Japan zu befinden. Sie können Top 4 in P.L., das sie weit von jetzt sind, in den Top 10 Teams im Moment sind.

02:01:19 First Place today would do a lot of good in moving them closer to Japan.

02:01:25 Das wäre ein großer Push aus der Liquid Alienware. Wir werden sehen, ob heute ist das Beginn der Bewegung. Oder ob es einfach nur ein bisschen schlafen wird, als wir mit D.K.K., der hat einen Knocht dropped für einen Moment. Wir werden ihn wieder aufhören, und hoffentlich stave auf ein bisschen ein bisschen ein Push, hier, als sie sollte er werden.

02:01:51 A solid reset. You talked about them not being too committed to any set position, and they can still continue working with that. They have some room to move around. You can see the Durags being one of the teams in the buildings in front of them that they could potentially have to fight, but they do have a relatively open eastern side for the moment if they wanted to make any sort of a crazy wild push.

02:02:16 Für die meisten Parten, eigentlich in der nächsten Ring ist ziemlich calm. Nicht viele Teams werden müssen diese Zone gehen. Aber ein Team wie TSM, die Möglichkeit haben, noch mehr Ring Information zu wollen, die sie wünschen wollen, werden das nicht spielen für die nächsten Ring gehen, nicht gegen die GMG, die auf die High-Grohung sind, sondern auf die Low-Grohung. Und wir wissen, denn wir haben Matt-Feed-Up und du kannst auch, Faceit-Watch.

02:02:44 Sie sind gerade hinter Rock, die wir aus dem Fall waren. Sie kennen die Map, die wir mitgebracht haben.

02:02:55 I don't know if Brock had any inkling that TSM will have made that rotate, considering how far south TSM was last time I checked in with them on the map. They made a very quick and aggressive rotate up to that northeastern side. They might be able to catch Brock unawares here and see if they can maybe do a little bit of sniper damage from that choke. Have to see what they're able to figure out there as we get to see what's going on in these nut buildings. Thuggets lose kimchi and Dan is quite low. Kimchi fully gets knocked out.

02:03:22 And now they're out to see if they can survive and push in for Ninjas and Pajamas. It does not work out. And Ninjas and Pajamas make quick work of Thuggets. Silent but Deadly. They rolled up. They took him out. And NIP. Now have DMG above them on the wall. TSM still waiting in the zone as well. Rock to the north. And TSM hoping to sneak up on Rock. See if they can pull off of three, two, one. And they do not get that knock. It was close.

02:03:51 Der Klose ist für Horseshoes und Handgrenades. Das ist die Ausstellung. No Handgrenades sind hier. Unfortunately, TSM wird noch nicht warten, um es zu machen. Das ist eine nette Wünste für sie, aber sie hat den Katalist-Wall. Und das ist das, am Ende, eine große Vorteile für Handgrenade. Handgrenade!

02:04:12 You spoke it into existence, Stia! Panic coming through, was a little bit delayed in the zone, throws a frag that changes the tide, completely turns the tide through TSM, they move in, able to do so much damage while having taken a little bit themselves, but still able to move in on Rock.

02:04:31 Wenn der Peacekeeper hat eine Tagline, würde es mit der PK, alles ist möglich. Und das ist so true, denn sogar in der letzten Moment, ich war ja, Sauce kann das, Realistisch.

02:04:59 TSM fans held their breath, but it paid off. And now alive and on the very northern tip of Zone. TSM have a chance at taking this game away from a Liquid Alienware that has predicted the Zone perfectly. Literally everyone but Liquid Alienware is going to be outside of the next Zone. That includes Durags who are up by the nut buildings. That includes Ninjas in Pajamas, who they are fighting with. Look at the position out of Liquid.

02:05:27 Die Rags sind für ihre Leben jetzt.

02:05:31 Sie nutzen jede Rampart als möglich, um alle die Rags zu blockieren, als sie kommen in. Sie sind able, ein bisschen zu überleben. Hier sind sie in Pajamas und DMG in die Vicinity, zu sehen, ob sie die Rags ausziehen können. Aber wie du gesagt hast, Liquid Alienware ist die einzige, die in den nächsten Cirkel sind. Und das ist gut für ihre Positionierung, aber sie werden auch noch einen K.P. auf den Bord. So, als es sich weiter zu steigen, werden sie versuchen, zu schrinken, sie werden zu versuchen, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun, zu tun,

Finale Kämpfe und Analyse von Match 4

02:06:00

02:06:00 And they are only going to get more, so a lot of squads can contest for this area. Hotdog Mafia are going to be rotating out of wall, likely just straight landing on this. And let's not forget, we've still got Gibby Bubbles, we've still got Tridents in this lobby. You can take a disrespectful amount of space with that combination. And we're going to see a lot of teams doing it right now. Unreal Nightmare, one of the squads that has made a rotation technically into the next zone. Although how safe this position is...

02:06:28 Actually, with the Trident as a roof, this might be the safest position on planet Earth. I kinda love this.

02:06:39 Ingenuity at its finest. We have a lot of teams, though, that had hedged their bets and put themselves here in the trenches on this side of the circle, hoping to find a little bit of safe space. And now that we're watching 14K, they're up by Zone Spammers, but they've got sightlines down on Hot Dog Mafia, who are fighting with Pioneers. That Catwall is in the way, but it's also going to draw a lot of attention to the surrounding squads. See IMJ go down. Hot Dog Mafia are finished off by the Falcons, who are playing inside.

02:07:06 This tunnel Pioneers look for a way to engage but a bubble from Falcons to play conservatively lets them survive and grab a little bit of KP on the way now every team in the lobby has just been made aware whether you add ring scan or not you know that you're not in zone baby you gotta go north this time around

02:07:30 Liquid Alienware continue to roll some incredible zone placements, while Sentinels and Zone Spammers don't even live to see the next ring. DKK with a challenging rotate ahead of them, and Pioneers, I'm grouping them in there as well. Guess they've got these trenches to play, but none of these trenches are in the next ring. It is all going to be open ground, gravity cannons, and the few rocks we've got out in the water. 14K have just pulled off a respawn, and Pioneers, they get this knock.

02:07:58 They likely go on a push for the few places they can grab. You can see, trying to see if there's any, uh, Jay trying to make an opportunity there with the charge rifle as a res does come through. These trenches are about to get very messy. Pioneers are trying to...

02:08:18 Wir müssen die Besten-Squad für sie zu beschäftigen. Die Team in den Nubbilden müssen das gleiche was die Team in den Trenches machen. Sie werden hier alle wieder verlassen. Das heißt, wir haben Ninjas in Pajamas, DMG und Durags alle zu bleiben, während TSM, noch hinter dem Rock, wird der Weg gehen.

02:08:38 Out they go. Bubble. Trident. Profit. Let's go, baby! Out into the open water. Ninjas in pajamas. Pray that they find a good spot to land. Will Liquid Alienware prepare for the zone close of their life? The ring is closing. So many teams are coming to them. Let's take a listen in with Liquid Alienware and see how they deal.

02:09:06 Vielen Dank! Vielen Dank! Vielen Dank!

02:09:15 kathalie ist die letzte

02:09:44 Ich habe einen Buhl. Ich habe einen Buhl. Ich habe einen Buhl. Ich habe einen Buhl. Ich habe einen Buhl.

02:10:14 Ich habe eine Net-Nissle. Ich habe eine Net-Nissle. Ich habe eine Net-Nissle. Ich habe eine Net-Nissle. Ich habe eine Net-Nissle. Ich habe eine Net-Nissle.

02:10:43 Full focus auf der derecha, okay?

02:11:02 A fight on two fronts, NIP on one side, DMG on the other. They've got to be extremely careful, but these nades, these nades out of Yanya change the game. Defensive bombardment does let them move forward, but losing Niazul means they've got to clean this fight very quickly. NIP, one member left, Jack Juarez gets taken down. This is bad for Liquid Alienware, and Yanya knows what he's got to do. He's got to finish the fight, secure the KP, secure the placement.

02:11:28 But he can't seem to do it in time. DMG are rolling up on this. Liquid Alienware go down first. And we've still got Inches and Pajamas who go down with the one HP that Vayne managed to clutch it with. Two squads left. DMG and Unreal Nightmare who walked up to play the Gravity Cannon. Can Unreal Nightmare close this out? Because DMG, they are taking space.

02:11:49 The way these endgames are so finicky, DMG now being the ones that are in a strong position here, able to do a lot of damage while the ticking is happening, and DMG closed out this first swordpoint match. Dia!

02:12:09 I cannot. The chaos was on the Grav Cannon. Liquid were doing the damage in that area. They knew that the right was the important side that they had to be paying attention to. And honestly, I think had they cleared out NIP, they would have survived and probably won that game.

02:12:33 Was insane All I'm gonna say Is that Given what we saw in Emiya this morning Given what we saw in this game Given that Gibby just got banned That guy's getting nerfed this year I don't know if it's before Champs But that guy's probably getting nerfed before Champs Because the Trident-Bubble combination Is so potent And we saw it be

02:13:00 Basically the thing that changed Liquid's game. A team that was very in charge of the lobby, that was managing every flank, had Team Gibby Bubble try and rotate at them and had to deal. And it really knocked them out so far that they didn't even make top four. Granted, I'm gonna give credit where it's due. That was off of some really clutch play to live on one HP as a Gibby and still clean out Liquid Alienware.

02:13:31 I feel like I don't even know what just happened. That was insane. The Gibby Bubble was the second teammate against Liquid Alienware in that situation because that wall was just not helpful at all. DKK still holding on to first place with 50 points, but you talked about Liquid Alienware needing to make a statement, needing to move themselves up this leaderboard to start putting in the work.

02:13:58 They're now in 2nd place with 45 points followed by the winners of that last match with DMG in 3rd place. What a way to kick off Stormpoint. And such a good news story. I mean, I don't want to jinx it for Liquid Alienware, but I'm going to say this anyway. They've been our most consistent, one of our most consistent teams in North America because they placed 15th in their first two match days both times.

02:14:23 This is a much better look. I mean, I love consistency, but I like winning a whole lot more. And Liquid are doing a little bit more of that right now. And it is a very welcome look for a team that needs to make up a lot of placement between now and the end of the split. Yeah, I'm interested to see if they can continue this momentum now in the last two matches of the day. Before we get into that, though, we're going to send it to a short break. So don't go in here. You're watching the Apex Legends Global Series. Last man standing. At least I lasted longer than anything you can do. I can do better.

02:16:15 Red Bull is the official energy drink of the Apex Legends Global Series.

02:17:26 Die Amerikas, wir sind hier. Wir haben jetzt unsere 4th Match des Jahres. Und wir werden in der 5th, sehr schnell. Graceful, das letzte Match, eine große Erinnerung von wie gewünschte Gibraltar und Tridents sind. Das hat sich jetzt auf die Bühne gemacht. Aber es hat forever verändert die Standings. Let's take a look at how das letzte Zone played out. Denn das war eine große Wünschte, nicht nur für Liquid, die wir highlighten, aber für DMG als auch, die once wieder...

02:17:53 Managed to clinch an endgame zone. I mean, phenomenal gameplay by them. Using that moment where Team Niktok was looking at NIP to get that Ashe TP in and then eventually 3P that fight. But what I want to look at here, I hope we get the POV on DJ Killer. Because he's the one leading this fight later on. To where he's just walking inside that bubble as the Ashe. Throwing out nades left and right as we can see right here. With the Thermite, with the Archer. Also hits the Crack 93 pump.

02:18:20 Und dann, die Teammitglieder kommen in, um den Deal zu verabschieden. Ich würde gerne sagen, dass der Execution, nicht nur auf den Ultimate kombinationen, mit dem EMP, Rave TP oder Phase M2 in der Engage. Wir haben auch gesehen, dass die Ashe, die Still-Maintaining die Pressure, durch die Front-Fight. D.J. Kiela hat sehr gut gemacht, in meiner Meinung nach. Und sie hat sich immer wieder aufsitzen und aufsitzen.

02:18:46 Will they have an easier time now because Gibraltar got moved out of the fight? This might make it a little bit harder for some teams that is used to bunkering up or even, like you said, the Gibi bubble into the Trident play. But will this also open up opportunities for the teams that aren't running Gibi to make more mayhem?

02:19:04 Teams like DMG, who already found success without Gibraltar in Match 4. And I gotta point out, this isn't the first time that DMG have succeeded on Stormpoint. Remember, they took a win off of both Falcons and ZZ on Stormpoint in our very first match of the Americas by sliding in out of Cito. Those of you, uh, Americas, ALGS enjoyers will remember, and if not, don't worry, we still got the bottom. It's Day 1.

02:19:31 But DMG slid in for that win as well and did so off of DJKilla's Ashe portal. It is very clear that DJKilla on the Ashe is pivotal in the endgame plans of DMG because he's able to get so aggressive and is able to make really good use of the arc snares and portals to take away pivotal positions and get up in your face. This is a player and a...

02:19:56 Ja, definitiv. Ja, definitiv. Und eben dann, die totalen Potenzial der Team ist, dass sie nicht so weit sind, dass sie jetzt noch nicht so weit sind, dass sie die Konsistenz auf den Top 3, 34 Punkte sind, ich glaube. Und sie sind einfach in die Splash. Wir sind in die Nummer 5, also haben wir noch ein bisschen mehr Weg zu gehen.

02:20:22 So things can change up on the leaderboard, but if they keep putting out these consistent setups and executions, especially on their offensive side of things, things can only go up. And they have to keep going up, because when we think about this split in the context of what it means, bringing us out to Japan, DMG must win the Regional Finals or the LCQ. There is no other path to Japan for this team that seems to be on the up and up.

02:20:50 Can they keep this going? Can they continue to improve? Because that's the only way that they're getting to Sapporo. Keep your eyes on DMG as we do start off with them, and they'll get a nice teaser for where the ring is going. Let's find out where we're actually playing, because this is a pretty wide open zone, but once we focus in on mill, it becomes a lot clearer. Zone spammers will have a good read on this. I believe, yes, do rags.

02:21:14 I mean, those teams that don't have this knowledge are probably gonna opt to play a little bit more towards mid-game speed where they get the next beacon knowledge as the zone fully closes. However, looking at the zone, if this ends up pulling in between mill and more a little bit more towards downbeats by those rocks, it's gonna be a nice...

02:21:41 Nice, cheeky Zone, because all of these teams are now going to opt to rotate a little bit more towards the center side of things as teams are figuring out where do we go, how's other teams' macros, let's see if we can get into the spot as all of these teams are going to vouch for the Zone, moving a little bit more towards Down Beast and Mil. Seems like Zone spammers are in agreement with you, by the way, that that's probably where the Zone is going, moving themselves from Mil, basically three inches to the north, and up in between Down Beast and Mil. If you're that confident...

02:22:11 Und wenn Liquid hier ist, dann ist es ganz klar, dass die Lobby ja, Graceful, du bist wahrscheinlich richtig über das und ich werde mit ihm sein. Graceful, ich sehe das, ich sehe das, ich sehe das Daten. Du bist wahrscheinlich richtig über das Zone, Paul. Ich sage nur, ich bin richtig, aber es gibt auch schonmal, aber es gibt auch schonmal, dass...

02:22:33 Okay, there's five teams here, Dia. It has to be here, and then it goes to Narni. And then everyone's crying. So I hope it's not one of these moments, especially for the likes of TSM, Liquid Alienware, as we saw, as well as Zone Spammers. But if it does end up being close towards that direction, they're going to be more than happy with this. Other teams, however, the likes of, you know, Hot Dog Mafia Pioneers, Duggets, DKK a little bit more on the outer side of the zone, looking to just loot up a little bit frequently. Still, a lot of teams are just making their...

02:23:00 as they opt for the next fully zoned closing before they get the next information.

02:23:05 TSM's priority on the Prowlers will actually be a pretty big buff to them as a team that isn't moving very far. They'll get a lot more EVO off of this than other squads. Unreal Nightmare are going to be denied that opportunity, so TSM may have a pretty big advantage in the mid-game when they're able to abuse the fact that they'll be closer to Purple Shields and maybe even on Purple Shields before anyone else. A team like Rock, though, very much playing for the mid-speed that you talked about. They're prioritizing EVO in a different way than TSM, instead running around the map.

02:23:35 die Trident, collectiv die Harvesters und wahrscheinlich zu spielen, um nach Nord-Pad zu gehen und eine Ring-Console-Skan zu holen.

02:23:47 Ja, ich meine, es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, die in diesem Spiel zu upgraden, die Arsenals, die Harvesters, die Farmen Objektiv, wie Prowlers und Birds. Jetzt, wir machen nur noch, dass wir gesundheitlich sind, und wir bekommen unsere Reaktion, weil die Unterschiede zwischen diesem Spiel und World's Edge ist, dass wir viel mehr Leweil in den Zonen haben, egal wie lange es wird, denn es gibt mehr Playable Area und random, was soll ich sagen...

02:24:13 Not objectives, random, like rocks and small buildings, Prowler's Nest, everything that you can actually play without needing a building, which in my opinion is a great way, because not always getting a building, it shouldn't be locking you out immediately. If you can get a small little cheeky cliff, a little bit of a rocky area, it should also be able to help you. Remember the advantage that I said TSM had before? Well, that's gone, because they had a member taken down and full thirsted. TSM now have to...

02:24:41 Till between their legs move back into Cenote for a reset, disheartening for the squad that I'm sure wanted to take a little bit more momentum in this game, but having your third is a whole lot better than having a good position. I say probably going to regret those words later. Does he hit it? He hits it. God, that is, that's a professional player right there.

02:25:05 Ich meine, ich denke, dass du gerade auf den Platz hast. In wahrscheinlich 99% der Situation, du hast du lieber, oder lieber, die 3rd-player über die Positionierung. Unless du hast den Ending, wie wir auf den Worlds-Edge haben, wo du DKK bist, und du bist auf dem Cliff, und niemand kann dich contesten. However, ich denke, dass Resetting ist die play. Sentinels, however, ist in Richtung Mill, also auf der Richtung Richtung Riverside. Team Liquid nebenbei. Und wir sahen ein bisschen, um...

02:25:31 Ich würde sagen, ein Signs of Life von Legatron zu sagen. Aber wir haben einen 1-3-V-3 vorhin. Ich würde gerne sagen, diese große, Mechanical-Momenten für einige Teams 1-3, weil es sehr easy zu missen, wenn es so viel Action passiert.

02:25:48 Highlighting the players that I think other teams are noticing as well Part of Apex Legends does happen on the maps Part of Apex Legends happens in the Roster Mania And if you're making a lot of noise As an individually skilled player People are going to notice And that can turn into success for your team That can turn into success for you individually And we see a lot of teams I think have difficulty balancing that When are you prioritizing your own success?

02:26:17 versus the success of the squad that you're playing with at the moment. TSM, I think, unfortunately a bit split up. I am going to note that. One member on one side of Cenote, one on the other. Pioneers directly in between them. Not an easy game for TSM, who have suffered some pretty severe setbacks. However, as we look at the zone, those that chose Mil will be rewarded, and those that did not...

02:26:41 will suffer. Thugget's in a pretty good spot if they do want to continue playing the Ridgeline. You can do that for a little while. There are some rocks up here that are safe outside of that.

02:26:50 Teams like Ninjas in Pajamas and Durags don't have a whole lot of safety outside of a few rocks to the north when it comes to playing future zones. Ninjas in Pajamas, however, will have first access to that information because they've got a ring console, as do Hot Dog Mafia over at North Pad. Pioneers waiting in Cenote for one of their own. Those three squads will have probably the biggest advantage when it comes to the coming ring.

02:27:15 I mean, seeing five teams on the northern side outside of the next zone is gonna be hard, but looking at the Rock Esports area where they're playing by the choke, it's probably gonna end up getting pinched either by CC or Nice Guys. All of these teams are slowly inching in and seeing where the zone is pulling more towards Mill this time. Some teams, however, Liquid Alien, like we saw, take their bridge very early, very happy with that as the zone is pulling towards their favor. As now Hot Dog Mafia, however, triple purple, more than happy to take a fight, I would assume.

02:27:43 Speaking of taking a fight as well, DMG, the winners of the previous game, top three currently. Triple Purple with that same comp, with the Ash, with the Crypto setup, execution. Are they looking to take another fight? Because they have been on point today. And I will say fight, bit of a generous term. This is one of the two isolated players of TSM. The other member, Panic, who we'll see on the other side of Cenote, being chased down by an entirely different squad in KCP.

02:28:12 Take the portal behind him. Panic is going to try and finish off his kill for at least the KP, and he gets it. So claiming at least one point for TSM before they go down in 19th. It's a small victory, but we take those. We take those victories.

02:28:28 I mean, 1kp ist besser als die mit einem Doughnut, das ist für sicher. Aber ich bin sicher, dass sie nicht mit dem D.K.K. auf den Prowlis-Nest sind, glaube ich. C.C. ist hier, sehr cheeky, waiting für die Zone in Downbeast. Mit ein paar Teams mit ihnen. Ich glaube, N.I.P. und Durax sind gerade nebenbei. Also waiting für die Zone, als D.M.G. actually gets charge-trippled by Kimtree.

02:28:52 But they do end up getting a thirst on Krulbuckle. So they can't be too sad as they're now looking for the remainder hiding behind that rock. Nothing is happening so far though. As he is currently sitting and they do end up fighting him dropping on in future streams. Makes that very easily as Pioneers gets eliminated.

02:29:10 It's a good look for DMG, even though they're in zone right now, because walking out without Thuggets having a Sightline on you is actually a pretty easy thing, all things considered. Difficult for Thuggets to actually move in and finish off a kill, even as they get a pick on DMG once again. It's a little bit of suffering inside the ring that DMG have to go through, but eventually they should come out of the zone.

02:29:32 relativ unscathed, perhaps a little bit lower on meds. Team Falcons, however, they've got a longer rotate, not into this zone, which they're already in, but into the next one, which will be revealed in just a few seconds. Sitting outside of Seto, they don't have Next Ring Scan, they don't have a console available, they are playing things by ear, have only hit Blue Shields so far, and so it's an awkward mid-speed for Team Falcons, as they've got to figure out what it is that they'll do next. Now, I will say...

02:30:01 The comms from Falcons today, when I checked earlier, have been pretty quiet. But, for the sake of it, for the sake of hearing this team one more time, let's see if we get anything on a listening with Team Falcons. Hey, did they just hit Men's again? Oh, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look,

02:30:28 Ashes, Ashes is moving forward here Rhys. I can MP. Yeah, I can MP him. I'm MPing him.

02:30:43 1-day 1-HP! 1-HP! 1-HP! 1-HP! 1-HP!

02:31:16 Gusta, XL. Let's go.

02:31:25 Signs of life from Team Falcons. As they manage to take that team. Very, very assured. Neat, like that wasn't even close in their favor. Huge swing from Zero right there. And the EMP play coming out. Wipe that team. And that's looking good for them. Their walk-in should be kind of safe. But on the other side of things. Hot Dog Mafia. Not a safe walk-in. Actually, like I said before. Rock Esports holding this choke south.

02:31:51 Other teams coming in from the choke on the northern side here, with I believe we saw Durags, we saw the likes of NIP and CC, pinched between at least three teams now. So, can they make this macro happen, as they are currently getting sighted right here by NIP? Will they be able to make it through? NIP Portal out. Still with a priority to hold the Hot Dog Mafia.

02:32:13 Lots of sightlines sprung NIP, but they seem a bit distracted, with ZZ and Durags on the other side. NIP have unfortunately now put themselves in a position where they are sandwiched, and nated, and Stingerbolted, and I'll be honest with you Graceful, NIP are suffering. Retaliatory Stingerbolt goes out, and Guilt does get taken down, but Kurev is answered right back.

02:32:36 Und das ist, dass Hotdog Mafia eine freie Walk-In auf der anderen Seite ist. Bain spielt die Far-Side der Cat-Wall, aber jetzt ist sofort in Hotdog Mafia's sidelines, als Madness nimmt ihn an. Stinger Bolt will helfen, Bowe zu der Zone zu helfen. Hotdog Mafia muss mit Durag weitergehen, aber wir gehen mit Team Falcons, die sind mit Rock, auf der Exit zu Checkpoint. Falcons...

02:33:01 Sie sind gut in Kontrollen, nur in Solo zwischen ihnen und einem Klinge. Aber mit HAL being taken down, und Walsi portalen aus. Falcons, die Quick Reset sind. Hotdog Mafia geht um, Rocker eliminiert mit ihnen. Die beiden Teams getrennt. Liquid Alienware, aber absolut nicht mehr Zeit. Yanya geht auf die High-Grohung, die Skynaden geht um. Liquid Alienware.

02:33:28 In a 3v2. Now, Nazul jumps down with the Rampage, but Liquid Alienware know that they've got the 2v2 of their dreams. Durags will fall. Liquid Alienware now get a completely isolated reset on the north side of Zone. This could be another fantastic game for Liquid.

02:33:45 Es ist ein guter Start, denn sie haben einen Platz in der nächsten Zone zu spielen. Liquid Alien macht einen Splash auf der Norden, als wir sehen, wie Kuh-Rags und auch Hotboxen. Aber in der Geburt, wir sehen uns Unreal Nightmare auf dem Platz, auf der Norden Cheeky-Arie auf Heide. Kann sie nicht halten, denn die Zone nach dieser Zone müssen sie auf den Souten halten.

02:34:09 This is going to be a tough zone for a lot of teams. I will say, whoever comes out of Mill somehow is going to do pretty well. The worst case scenario is if two teams come out of Mill, because then it is mutually assured destruction. You want to be picking fights, but you have to pick safe ones as any squad that's coexisting in this area. Sentinels...

02:34:31 Hoping for a bit of safety themselves to try and reposition the Trident to give them just that, a little bit of staying power, while DKK, unfortunately having suffered a loss, they're gonna try and reset, something they should be able to pull off, but it's not a good sign of things to come. Only two kills for the squad so far, and CIMJ making this a little bit harder as Noct gets double peeked and taken down. CIMJ wanna take out...

Team Liquid Alienware dominiert, Zone Spammers gewinnen entscheidendes Spiel

02:34:57

02:34:57 DKK, kann sie das auf das Swing machen? Die Drawer ist da, Gyozi geht. Knochtdunschild. Held by Nochtdunschild. Nicht gut genug, als DKK wird Multi-Angled aus. CIMJ, mit ein paar anderen Squaden zu entfernen von der Lobby. Und die Falcons... ...ultimately taken down... ...by Team Liquid Alienware... ...die sind auf eine Rampage für den zweiten Spiel in a row.

02:35:26 Huge game for them once again, owning this northern side of the zones. However, I will say...

02:35:31 Wir sehen Yanya run straight in and jump over. Wir sehen Nia-Sul jump straight up with the Sparrow. This combination of having not only the angles of normal Crossfires, but also the vertical aspect of it, has been huge for them as they've been making plays. Real quick, brainstorm with me here Graceville. You're Liquid.

02:36:00 Wenn ich diese Position bin, ich denke, dass sie auf die Fence-Line verlassen sind, und sie senden Zonespammers. Und sie senden sie dann, so ich denke, dass wir nicht die Brainstorm haben, wir einfach finden, was Liquid Alienware ist. Als sie senden Zonespammers senden, Yanya schwingt in drei Peace-Keepers, und dann gehts dann immedietend. Die resten von Liquid Alienware sind geschehen, und ich glaube, dass das nicht so war, wie sie hoped hoped.

02:36:26 Ich war zu sagen, dass sie wahrscheinlich nicht unterhalten und dann unterhalten werden, aber es ist einfach ein 2v3. Aber sie sind ziemlich gesund. Können sie sie aus dem Weg gehen, als sie draußen unterhalten sind? Team Liquid Alienware ist zu versuchen, diese Reset zu bekommen, als die andere Leute sind eigentlich low. Das könnte ein 2v3 Angle sein.

02:36:46 Und Liquid Alienware...

02:36:58 Oh mein Gott!

02:37:26 Zip line not enough though as he gets taken out by Wi-Fi courtesy of the Charge Rifle. Zone Spammer is very happy with that even though they came down to a duo right now. Gets that wipe and actually owns a lot of the Zone right now. Sentinels down to a little rat trying to survive on the north or on the eastern side of things as the other teams have to duke it out from the southern side inside the building. CIMJ however looking very strong as they own the absolute high ground and can probably hold here for quite a bit.

02:37:55 Und die Problem hier ist, wie du von Mill exit hast. Remember, wir sagten, Worst-Case Scenario ist, dass zwei Teams haben, von Mill zu gehen. Right jetzt, da sind nicht nur zwei Teams. Da sind drei Teams zu gehen, von Mill zu gehen. Und jemand hat das zu tun, erst zu machen. Be es mit Trident Rotate, be es mit Wraith Portal, es geht nicht.

02:38:17 I mean, look at Carter trying to put in work right now. He is not giving up without a fight as he sees a Mobi come down. He has the bow check in his hands. Even a frag available as well. Obster just makes sure to... He tried at least, trying to get a couple of kills, but couldn't really get it as that reset from the northern side on SoulSpammers gets back into a trio. They even have, in the next zone, a wall to play. The same wall as Carter is playing, but on the opposite side, as we can see, right there in front of them, that he can play. CIMJ is currently taking that area.

02:38:48 It's a good move, though, to get there proactively. Soviet can't be taken down now. But if you can deny this to CIMJ, as I believe the spikes will do, Zone Spammers have moved fast enough. They got the reset. They've denied CIMJ the portal down onto the lowground, and it forces CIMJ to fight Sentinels underneath them.

02:39:08 Duggets go down, Sentinels will fall, CIMJ and Unreal Nightmare, now they must exit Mill at the same time. And you and I both know this is a recipe for disaster. Unreal Nightmare are gonna eat about 800 nades and go down without being able to do anything about it. Zone spammers, it's their time. Can they take the win? CIMJ at the high ground, Wi-Fi.

02:39:32 Gets a little overzealous, climbing over the wall, but stays alive. CIMJ are going to push this, swinging the wall. Chickas finds the first knock, and despite being denied the portal, CIMJ could pull this down. It's a 1v1 against Sacred, who climbs over the wall with the Peacekeeper. And it's enough for Zone Spammers, who take the fifth game of the day.

02:39:52 Zone spammers had a fighting chance once they saw CIMJ drop on that team or getting ready to nade out that team I actually thought that CIMJ might have had a chance as well in general because they didn't use too much utility it looked like at least but coming down to that 1v1 sacred more than happy to play with that PK versus that R9 we can argue whether or not he should have climbed probably not but he gets too pumped immediately and that's just the name of the game if you have strong you know

02:40:20 Shotgun mechanics, and you also have knockdown shields versus a guy in the open. The only option he had was climb. There's really not much you can do. But zone spammers fighting Liquid Alienware earlier for that spot. It wasn't for free. They fought the team that was absolutely demolishing the lobby from the northern side with the likes of Liquid Alienware with 10 kills. However, managed to close out the game in a very neat fashion.

02:40:42 Das ist noch ein Team von einem Team, der muss alles gewinnen, in order zu gewinnen zu Japan gewinnen. Der Fakt ist, dass Zone Spammers gewinnen war, ist großartig für sie, und ich liebe die Weise, dass sie es gemacht hat. Sie sehen, ihre Stats, mit CIMJ zu sehen. Ja, Zone Spammers, sie haben nicht mehr als viele Kills bekommen, aber die Fakt ist sogar close, mit Zone Spammers...

02:41:06 Very inactive position. I mean, they played quite far away, and they predicted this zone really early. I come out of this going, this is a great look for zone spammers. They predicted the zones, they fought off Liquid Alienware, they won the end ring where they had to readjust, and now they're sitting in third overall with one game left. I mean, that's really what we're saying a lot of the times.

Spannung vor dem letzten Spiel: DKK und Liquid Alienware kämpfen um die Spitze

02:41:27

02:41:27 Two teams on top on 58 and 55 are soaking a little bit of points, but immediately underneath that we see everything from 38, 37, 31, 30, 29. It's so close. It could be any team's game at this point. Leading into the last game right now as well, it's going to be a nail biter because it's really that close. And when we're talking about qualifying to the one end all place that we all want to go champ Zapoto once again to stab that ticket.

02:41:55 It's make or break it. You better win regional finals or make top two in LCK for a lot of these teams. And the stakes are really high for those teams at the top as well. DKK and Liquid Alienware, we did mention Liquid Alienware, have the opportunity to just place high and make it to Sapporo, but they've got a lot of ground to cover, which means they need to hold on to the number one spot. Can they do it or will they fall? We'll find out after the break. Should I slow down? What do you think then? You've got one bloody eye. Guess not. Enough again.

02:44:34 hier in der Apex Legends Global Series, wo wir bereit sind, unsere letzte Game des Jahres an Stormpoint. Groups A und B sind auf für den zweiten Mal, und dieses Mal, Graceful, es sieht aus wie Liquid nicht nur besser als 15th ist, aber sie kämpfen für eine Top-Spot und heute halten. Wir schauen uns auf die Final-Circle des Last-Game, wo Zone-Spammers kamen zu einem großen Vorteil, um sich zu 3rd in den overallen Standings für heute.

02:45:03 I mean, from having predicting this zone very early, playing that building just a little bit north of them, where they fought Liquid Alien earlier, needing to reset, getting that full reset now, coming down to a straight 3v3 versus CIMJ after they take down the team inside the building, was a little bit closer than I wanted, to be honest. It came down to a 1v1, so I really want to see this POV, however sacred.

02:45:23 Und das ist genau das, was sie brauchen.

02:45:48 das whole 3v3. Otherwise CIMJ actually won the initial trade. That's true. And there was a lot of back and forth between these games. Because remember CIMJ wanted to play that fence earlier and were denied it by Zone Spammers. So these two teams were very aware of each other even in the lead up to that last encounter where Zone Spammers did ultimately walk away with the victory. CIMJ cannot be underestimated as we move into Match 6 where Crypto will be

02:46:16 Das ist die Sache, dass wir sehen, dass Recon auf der Zeit, von der Typik von Bladon und auch die Path und ein paar Sachen wie das.

02:46:43 We gotta be fast on Rotate, because you have to remember, the pacing of Apex Legends in its hole keeps evolving. We've gone from needing to run everywhere, to more Balloons on the map, to Tridents on the map, to mobility in kits and Legends in themselves. It's so fast-paced right now. Like you said, in Recon right now, if you don't have that Crypto, that long-range UAV scan, now you want to opt for Sparrow to get that and get go.

02:47:13 When you're thinking about how to approach the next game, or rather the final game, having more information on the teams that surround you is the real strength of these Recon Legends. We've seen some teams play for Third Beacon Scan, but it's really not as powerful or hasn't been utilized as much in the Americas as we saw it during EMEA. In EMEA, people were...

02:47:40 Really running for third beacon scan they were playing off it like their life depended on it and In the Americas teams do seem a lot more comfortable just moving into zone and trying to Figure it out take their best guess and then adapt from ring to ring Which is something that weirdly enough zone spammers will be forced to do they picked up catalyst so they could get a ring console scan But they don't actually get the ring console spawning at

02:48:09 Ja, das ist definitiv, dass sie eine Rotationale Beacon haben, wie ich es auch benutze, um es zu sagen, dass sie das Informationen bekommen haben. Wenn Sie diese Zonung haben, wird es eher nach Barrow gehen? Oder nach der Southeastern Seite, nach Duggets? Vielleicht nicht.

02:48:38 Now you have these rotational areas where you can actually make pace. C-A-M-J in a spot to where they're evac-ing even deeper. Maybe are they going for the next eggshell? Or the next egg? It does intend... It does seem like they're going for that spider choke. Maybe they'll move past deeper. It does seem like it. As some teams are opting for very deep positioning. I do like this because when you're that confident in... In the last game, they were very confident in acknowledging the win condition. As we saw, the TP placement on that spot.

02:49:07 Was to win the game, right? Can they do that consistently? One of these games, they will close it out. Because even second place last game was really good from them.

02:49:16 DKK and CIMJ both share the quality of having landed on a Ring console, so their guess is honestly better than most people's. Pylon didn't end up spotting with one, but with Jurassic and Barometer both having that advantage. TSM and Durag are gonna rotate in. TSM did get the Ring console over at Cenote, so they'll be a little bit late.

Liquid Alienware unter Druck, DKK in starker Position

02:49:39

02:49:39 Aber es ist absolut möglich zu machen, viele Leute durch die Cascade zu machen. Und Liquid Alienware hat die Information, dass Zone ist, aber sie hat das von all den Weg nach Nordpad. So für Liquid Alienware zu spielen mit DKK und bleiben in 1st place, sie werden zu spielen Edge, wie ihr Leben ist.

02:50:00 They definitely do, because DKK is in a spot that is almost unpushable, unless some teams push from Coastal Cap's side through that tunnel, which is, in my opinion, kind of easy to hold up, especially when you have the likes of Cossack, but in this case, Watson, they should be able to survive, leading at least into mid-game. Liquid Alienware, however, need to do a little bit more work, as they are, like you said, more on the edge side of things, to where you are forced to take several engages and come out on top, but...

02:50:29 Wenn wir über Liquid Alien sehen, sie sind auf den letzten Spielen aufzunehmen.

02:50:36 Nice guys high ground and the scan does let them know that there's a team basically right underneath them just in case their Headphones weren't working properly because I am sure you hear the clamor as nice guys get rotated underneath ninjas and pajamas the squad that just passed them by Booking it down to the south side of the map and to the next ring leaving nice guys with the chance to hit a ring console scan themselves Falcons

02:51:04 In the center of Jurassic. Not in a terrible spot by any means. Likely not where the ring is closing or where it's going ultimately. The big problem is being besieged. As Stairbolt comes in, Falcons get flanked. Falcons don't seem to have a lot of options. Moving outside, a nice shot in the back by Zero reverses their fortune and the Hot Dog Mafia... creepy.

02:51:29 It looks like they're being taken down. Bo with the G7 gets taken out. But Falcons are in a sorry state as the Ninjas in Pajamas sprint from Cascade over to the Falcons. And Hal may not even live to see the Ninjas in Pajamas as he's facing down a different squad entirely. I don't know how he's alive between these two teams, but trying desperately to finish off the KP, he won't even get that. Falcons are eliminated in 19th. The Ninjas in Pajamas.

02:51:58 Helping push them that last little inch out of the lobby. I will say, very nice angle from Zero with that base into the side angle, hitting that huge pump on and turn the fight into leaning, at least a little bit more positively for them. But as we also know, when the zone is, when you're this late into the game, Circle 1 almost fully closing, teams are on the pace to make it to your locations, get thirded by NIP and also I believe it was 8th Gang on the other side of them.

02:52:24 Und das ist wie es geht. NIP, aber nicht zuhörst, als Apegang ist jetzt geholfen, als Kuzme zu bleiben, als Kuzme zu bleiben. Es geht darum, zu bleiben, als Kuzme zu bleiben. Es geht darum, die 3v3 gegen NIP zu bleiben. Das ist nicht möglich. McLovin, für Kuzme. Oh, ich habe ihn. Nein, er hat ihn nicht. Ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher, ich bin sicher. Kuzme vorbereitet für den hide-and-seek-Tournament.

02:52:56 I mean, I think he's happy for now if he can make it up. But it seems that they are definitely... He's definitely around here. But they left it for now. Maybe he can make it out. Maybe he cannot. Other people are currently kind of locked in into the southern side of the map right now. We saw plenty of teams in there. But speaking of plenty of teams, they do find him. He doesn't go down without a fight as he does take one down. But that trade is not going to do anything because NIP is currently very safe in this current position. No one else really around.

02:53:25 NIP sitzt in 6th jetzt. Weil die Falken sind, und es war NIP, die geholfen hat, sie könnten die Falken in 5th sein können. Das wäre eine große Anerkennung für NIP. Und sehr willkommen, ich bin sicher. 14K, wir werden eine Quick-Respawn in Millage.

02:53:44 This is a bit close for comfort, as we happen to know that Liquid Alienware are rotating through Seto at this exact moment, having spotted a fresh Respawn. Will they come over and try and pick a fight? Because if you are playing Edge, and if you are Liquid, one of the teams that is known for their teamfighting, you may very well start feeling an itchy trigger finger.

02:54:08 Ja, und ich denke, dass sie das Gas auf dem Pedal sind jetzt, stehen zu ihrem Namen. Sie haben immer sehr schnell gearbeitet, um sich zu machen, um die 3-3s zu machen, um die 3-3s zu machen. Aber die Zone ist weiter nach Coastal hier, um das Hill.

02:54:26 C.A.M.J. will be very happy. D.K.K. probably even more happy, because even if it does end up pulling even deeper past that, they can still have a nice way into that endgame, straight underneath that hide of Pioneers, as they are happy playing in this tunnel right here. However, for the likes of the other teams, making it up that hill, whether it be through Tuggets playing above Spider Nest, or through the Pylon Hill, is very hard, because those...

02:54:52 Die Heils sind schon schwerer ohne Sniper, aber auch Peter und Short-Triffe in das und es wird sogar noch schwerer sein. Ja, die TLDR für die Zone, was DKK happy, Barometer Teams, sehr sad. Das ist nicht ein guter Tag, wenn man in Barometer, besonders mit Gibby-Band, keine Trident-Bubble-Rotates gibt.

02:55:14 It'll be tough, not impossible, however, and Liquid Alienware actually have one of the better chances of making it in since they can rotate in through the north side, in through Jurassic, and get the ring console scan that is there ahead of every other team in the lobby. This could be huge for Liquid Alienware.

02:55:33 Und auf der anderen Seite, sie könnten einfach nur Gatecapped werden, wie alle anderen anderen. Wir werden jetzt wissen, wie bei dem Moment ZZ ist der Rotate. Und das ist ein bisschen mehr aus dem Weg, ein bisschen mehr Schwierig, und wahrscheinlich wird die Squad an durch EchoHQ, wo Leave No Witnesses sind auch. Ihr options von hier sind zu gehen, oder zu gehen nach Pylon, oder zu gehen nach Echo. Und ich bin ehrlich nicht sicher, welche ich prefer, aber Eing Shots von Echo wird wahrscheinlich in Pylon.

02:56:01 Yeah, most definitely. They already hit that info as well, so they will make it do with that as CC is coming in from the eastern side of things towards Pylon. As they saw only one team literally inside of Pylon right now. Liquid Alienware, however.

02:56:15 We said they would go through Jurassic, but we saw who was lurking in Jurassic earlier. It was NIP. It's gonna come down to a 3v3 against NIP and Liquid Alienware. So we shall see how they can set up and execute this fight. Can they do it as they have previously or will NIP reign supreme from that exile? Two of our squads representing South America. We'll see what Liquid Alienware can do. We talked about this being a very polarizing game coming from the north.

Ninjas in Pyjamas eliminieren Liquid Alienware, DKK sichert sich den ersten Platz

02:56:41

02:56:41 Sie sind entzündet, oder sie sind zu entdeckten. Wir schauen uns, als wir in den Liquid Alienware entdecken.

02:57:11 Und, unfortunately, die Antwort, Graceful, ist, dass sie gekämpft sind. Ninjas in Pajamas machen es zu Falcons. Sie turnen auf, sie machen es zu Liquid Alienware. Und das wirklich endangere Liquid's spot in den Standings. Sie sind in 1st jetzt. Sie können weit weg, mit DKK hinter ihnen. Und sehr schnell, bereit zu übernehmen. Leid, no witness. Starting zu pushen auf zu DMG.

02:57:38 Ich bin jetzt noch ein Team, aber mit Blaise zuhörter. Leib-No-Witness hat einen Reset. Und sie mit einem Arcstar von Renna finden. Es ist ein Knack in favorer LNW. Es ist ein Thermite. Renna ist ein bisschen low. Blaise zuhörter. Mit einem 3rd-Party zuhörter. ZZ haben sie auf! Sie schießen! Leib-No-Witness in die Back! Und sie nehmen sie aus dem Lobby.

02:58:01 CC opte not to go for Pylon side, but instead Zonewrapped and come up behind DMG now looking to take a fight on them to 3P this fight. But I believe we saw a huge positioning there as other teams are looking to go a little bit ahead. One of the DMG members is still southern side getting held up, but Pioneers actually gets eliminated right there. It comes down to a duo versus CC, but Pioneers is not letting this happen for free because they are hungry and they need this KP.

02:58:29 Just a single number of extending out can do quite a bit, but the damage that Gil just did should force some more conservative play out of the Ashe for Pioneers. ZZ get to reset and play for now this north side of the zone. Still extremely challenging, and Wraith Portal not quite available for Gil just yet. That's the main mobility tool for ZZ. If they don't have Portal, it's gonna be...

02:58:55 Ich will sagen, dass es nicht möglich ist, wenn wir über Bicoastal Camp sind.

02:59:02 I mean CC is gonna hope for a timing on the northern side because sentinels still have to move from pylons up towards thuggets but this zone indeed does pull up more towards coastal in the middle of the hill on the like on the eastern side of the previous zone where everybody else is gonna have to collapse dkk still has that tunnel to make that play but pioneers and cimj sitting very happily in this location right now just hovering everybody else looking to see if they can get any post however we talked about barometer being very sad everybody has to fight right now

02:59:32 Zone spammers pushing in. They don't even make it. Stanger Bolts is just too brutal. Wi-Fi does find a nice knock onto 14k Resonance. Has Soviet playing for defense in here. And we'll be able to stick a reset. 14k pushing onto this. Make it more complicated. Amazing shots out of Wi-Fi. Turn things around. Soviet's gonna have to leave them as a solo.

03:00:02 Last member of Zone Spammers, running for the hills and hoping not to be spotted. Ninjas in Pajamas quite busy over by the Eggshell, but it looks like they've got time to spare for him. Zone Spammers go out. Ape Gang go out. And even though we're not seeing DKK collect placement points, make no mistake, they are at 57 points to the 58 that Liquid have. One more placement point, one more kill point. DKK are taking first.

03:00:29 Sie können die erste, denn sie sind in einem Ort, wo andere Teams sind zu kämpfen. Du-Racks, Nidus in Pajamas...

03:00:36 Sie sind alle auf der westen Seite der Welt. Sie sehen sie dort. Sie sind einfach hier. Ich habe einen TP hier. Wenn wir sie versuchen, wir werden sie sofort machen. Ich bin sicher, dass sie alle Placement Point machen können. Alle KP. Weil sie jetzt können sie in der ersten Woche machen. Aber wir können die Likes von NIP. Sie sind mit 39 Punkten. Und sie haben so viele KP.

03:01:01 Und mit der Placement Point ist genug. DKK nehmen Liquid aus der 1st-Place Spot. Inches in Pajamas continue pushing up. On zu Nice, guys. On zu TSM. 16 Sekunden left.

03:01:30 Before this fight becomes completely futile. It's about clearing your back right now. But with McLovin going down. Ninjas in Pajamas may have just been shot in the foot. DMG are going to fall as well. But the rotate up is cooked. It's cooked for NIP. They're going to try and stick this reset. DMG having fallen recently gives them a little bit of space. TSM have to reset on the high ground. NIP get their third.

03:01:55 Und ich habe Catalyst zurück in die Spiel, so vielleicht kann ich es auf diese Helle, aber Thuggets ist still in der Weg, Graceful. Thuggets ist in der Weg, aber wir sahen die Timing earlier von Hotdog. Remember in der Choke towards Zombies? Wenn sie das Timing haben, wo Thuggets hat einen anderen Team, das könnte sein sein, als DKK hat es auf die Helle. Wir sind jetzt in der Nähe von der anderen Seite. Sie sind in der Nähe von der anderen Seite. Sie sind in der Nähe von der Nähe von der anderen Seite. Sie sind in der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe von der Nähe.

03:02:20 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

03:02:37 And IP with one member left. Vayne tries to save this absolutely scuffed Rotate. And miraculously is not getting run up on yet. ZZ though. Rounding the corner. Take him out. ZZ. They are climbing up the leaderboard. Seventh place right now. They won this group last time.

03:03:00 It'll be hard for them to win, but they can make it pretty darn far off the leaderboards. DKK, meanwhile, are just holding onto that first place spot. Every point they get makes it more and more difficult for any squad to contest them and to even get close. They are making this a top-heavy lobby. DKK are running Stormpoint in their final game. Let's take a listen in with the squad to beat.

03:03:27 There should be another level. They're at the gym. They're at the gym. They were back over here. They were. I need to loot. I have like nine bullets. I have nine bullets. I'm going to loot. I got one Sparrow, Buck. I got ammo for you, Keon. I got ammo. I'm picking up a different gun. Are you sure they're there? They're playing as the far side. I don't know. Let me see where we're going to play. There should be a fence here. I have to put us left side somewhere.

03:03:54 Isn't there a fence? I think there's a fence right below this. Can we just try to wipe this left team? I think they went down already. Yes, we can try. I'm just getting it. They're already slow down. They're here. They're here on my ping. Okay, look over on them. Look over on them. Yeah, I am. I have a TP. I have a TP. Yeah, I did. I'm playing kill these guys. I'm playing kill these guys. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. Rake is low. R

03:04:21 EQ, EQ! EQ, EQ!

03:04:37 No, I don't

03:05:03 If you have any praises, you kill them right here. I'm gonna scroll up in there. I'm gonna scroll up in there. I'm gonna go. It's Mike in there. Mike in there.

03:05:11 I'm trying to fuck with them. They're rising the rising. I'm with you. I'm with you with you He has a whole pixel to my strokes. We just need to hold our space guys On the left left team is it do it? Yes, I'm more I'm grabbing nades guys grabbing nades. Yeah, I'm trying to grab some as well. I'm with you. I'm just holding his right team right now also being power booster here

03:05:39 We have Godspot here. I don't have gen. I don't have gen. I don't have gen. I don't have gen. I don't have gen. I don't have gen. I got a power amp. Okay, I heard you.

03:06:14 What's your gen at? What's the percent? 72 72 I'm peaking less that with you drop. They're getting hard pressure on the side. Yeah, yeah, just chill. They have to move into us. Are they like closing my corner? I have to start squirting this team up top. Yeah, we should start squirting the three men. I'm gonna throw, I'm gonna throw a Verdum. Throw a Verdum. I have to revert on that. I squirreled at their bottom too. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I have to throw a Verdum. I

03:06:38 Ja, pack'em pack'em.

03:06:57 This was a clean closeout by DKK, and you could hear it. This endgame moment for them was more than exercising restraint than it was excess energy. They knew they had first, and moreover, graceful, I think you'll appreciate this, they knew they had Godspot. You heard them say it. They were like, chill. We know we win the game from here. Let's do this. Let's do it clean and simple, and they do. That was...

03:07:25 Das ist die Team zu beat. Das ist ein Team, das ist in 1st-Place Form und ein Team, das wir wissen, ist in Japan zu werden. Und sie sind in Japan, und sie sehen, wie sie sich in den Form zu machen. Glitter ist die perfekte Teaser, oder eher als wir weitergehen, in der 2nd-Round-Robin für ein Team, das wirklich in Form ist, und das Sie müssen, wenn Sie eine Chance haben, zu gehen. Absolut.

03:07:51 While that may have sounded a bit chaotic there at the end, those comms were actually so clean, even down to the small things in dropped acknowledging that he had heard Keon when, you know, talking about the percentage of the Jenny. Like, they were a little...

03:08:10 Indecisive for a fraction of a moment when they didn't know if they wanted to keep pushing KCP or Pioneers when they were going for that res. But overall, like you said, they knew they had Godspot. They knew that they had the advantage over the duo that they were certain was in Sentinels on the left. I mean, that was so well executed.

03:08:27 All day was well executed by them that I'm excited to see what they will bring to LAN after, you know, months of really nailing this down as we get to take a look at these results. 12 kills by the end of it for this win to add just another notch into the belt for DKK today graceful.

03:08:47 Ich meine, sie haben sehr gut gespielt. Wir haben 2nd Platz in der ersten Spiel gewonnen. Jetzt sind sie hier wieder gewinnen. Sie sind immer wieder gespielt. Sie sind immer wieder gespielt. Sie sind immer wieder gespielt. Und wenn sie in Endgame sind, sie sind immer wieder gespielt. 2nd Platz, aber Pioneers haben einen guten Job gemacht. Aber ich würde sagen, sie müssen das VOD wiederholfen. Weil sie nicht schwimmen, wenn sie auf der anderen Seite auf der Plattform kämpft, haben sie das Spiel gewonnen.

03:09:14 Aber auf der Opposite Seite des Losen, DKK sehr, sehr stark hält das 1st Platz. Wir wussten, dass es in der ersten Zeit geschlossen war, weil Liquid Alienware wurde ein bisschen early, wenn die Punkte geöffnet wurden. Aber sie explodierten in 79 Punkte für die Serie. Und man kann auch nichts mehr als das. Even wenn wir wussten, dass sie nicht die Platz super, super hoch hatten, weil sie so gut ein Team sind. Ich denke, das wird ihnen mehr als glücklich sein.

03:09:43 I think another thing too, Dia, to point out now that we got to see not only these overall standings, but just from the series alone, we're seeing a little bit of the emergence of a potential Cinderella story. You talked about how important it was for Liquid to really kind of have a solid match day here today on day four and continue that obviously throughout the rest of the split, but I'd say this is a great start.

03:10:08 Es ist wirklich, ich meine, das hat sie geholfen, ich bin für sie in den Standings hier und ich finde sie am 8th! Das ist ein HUGE IMPROVEMENT von wo sie begann den Tag. Ein reminder, however, dass sie drei Series haben, und viele unserer Teams haben auch zwei. So, realistically, das 8th ist wahrscheinlich ein bisschen mehr als 15th, 16th. Meh, vielleicht 14th, auf ein guter Tag.

03:10:32 The fact remains, though, that for a team that started in the bottom five of the league, this is a huge step forward to Japan, where like we talked about, placing in the top 10, they've probably got around a 50% chance of going to champs, but above the top four, and they're going. This was a big step towards that. And again, I've been referencing these stats. Real credit to Zephyr for working on these with me. He's provided a lot of great math to make this possible. So these are all coming from...

03:11:02 A very researched source. And it is nice to be able to look at these and go, this is where you need a place if you want to go to Sapporo. I love that.

03:11:10 I love that. And if we're talking about math, might as well keep doing the math, okay? Because it's time for us to talk about our Sony Endzone Kill Leader Race. Let's see who for Americas was able to end up on the top of our leaderboard. And it was Yania after a phenomenal day for Liquid. Continuing on this storyline, 20 kills go the way of Yania. To be fair, followed by 18 on Keon, 14 on Dropped, and Noctis also up in the top 10 at...

03:11:37 8th place with 10 kills himself, but Yanya, 20 kills! I mean, graceful! That's a fantastic day. I mean, we saw that happening, not only here, but also specifically on that Storm Point fight right here, by the cannon, taking this proactivity to secure this KP. He got so many kills, but he did 2 kills as well, but he even got more earlier. If they had fought...

03:12:00 Ich glaube, es ist ein guter Tag für sie. Ich glaube, es ist ein guter Tag für sie. Ich glaube, es ist ein guter Schritt für sie. Wie gesagt, es ist ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Für sie ist es ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Für sie ist es weiter auf die Leaderboard. Janya, however, ist ein Spieler, das ich glaube, dass jeder und weiß, ist ein Phänomenal. Ich liebe es, dass wir hier sehen, diese Stats des Damage. Ich meine, das ist einfach so, die icing für sie heute.

03:12:25 Es ist der perfekte Weg für Liquid, um ein Comeback zu machen. Und hier ist es ein Team, das ist wirklich schwierig zu doubt. Und gleichzeitig ist es ein Team, ein Team, das oft gibt uns eine Chance, um es zu machen. Sie starten Tournament, es wird ein bisschen rocky werden. Sie werden ein paar Spiels, wo es ein bisschen rocky ist. Und dann haben wir sie an Land Finals sehen. Zu sehen sie machen die Claw zurück ist immer etwas, wo ich sage, sind sie wirklich zu machen? Das ist unmöglich. Aber das ist, dass sie uns am Ende geben,

03:12:54 Some more hope than they have previously, where we see them make it off of one game into the finals of Atlanta or off of one game in the regional finals to even qualify. The fact that they're giving it to us early is much better. It's doing my heart a lot of good.

03:13:10 And then on the flip side of that, obviously DKK coming through with the win, but then you're seeing that also reflected in their individual performances, Graceful, by having Keon right there in second, dropped in third, knocked in eighth. You've got all three of them in the top ten. It just speaks to not only how well they were working as a unit, but just how much they were putting in on an individual level as well.

03:13:34 Ich meine, ich möchte sehen, wie viele times wir in die Endgames waren, weil wir 2nd gesehen haben, wir 1st gesehen haben, wir 1st gesehen haben. Wenn du in die Endgames getrennt das oft, Kills wird irgendwann kommen. Jetzt, wir sprechen über den Faktor, dass alle Faktoren können, die Faktoren sehr schnell sind. Es macht es sogar sogar einfacher. Es hat sogar zu dem Punkt, wo ich glaube, es war einer von ihnen gesagt, ich habe keine Bullets. Und wir looked in die Bottom-Ride, und es war zwei Bullets für Peter. Wie viel hat er der ganze Spiel gesucht, wenn er keine Bullets in dieser Moment, in dieser Spiel? So, ich meine...

03:14:03 They've been shooting their guns really good, and I'm more than happy about that. Yeah, and a team that definitely deserves that recognition after a performance like today. I think what we're seeing out of these squads, because something that we talked about at the top of Shodiyah was the fact that what we had expected...

03:14:21 coming into Split 2 has been shaken up a little bit. That's kind of been the theme of today, right? And I love that that's just continuing to be proven by these teams who are stepping up to the plate and showing that there are so many contenders in this region alone for potential LAN champs. And it continues to be one of our highest variance regions in the world in terms of

03:14:49 How much our teams change from day to day in their standings in their individual lobbies. Like we mentioned this morning, EMEA varies by about four and a half placements. NA varying by seven or more is a trend that is continued. Even by DKK's victory today, they've still managed to change their placements by seven or more. So keep your eyes on North America because, or rather the Americas, because it is an...

03:15:16 Extremely volatile region. And we keep putting forth little glimpses of hope. Oh, you're a fan of this team? Well, it looks like they're really on fire today. Oh, you're a fan of this team? Looks like they're really on fire today. And it is so hard to track, but so satisfying when we see it pay off for a team like DKK today.

03:15:32 Yeah, absolutely. And it's definitely making everything that much more interesting. I know today is match day four, but tomorrow officially marks the halfway point of this split. So as we continue our way through these round robins and through the rest of this season, every single...

03:15:50 Solid matchday. Every single strong performance is going to contribute that much more. We'll continue updating everybody at home as the weeks progress exactly on what those champ standings are looking like.

03:16:03 Everything matters, whether it's that regional finals win, whether it's additional points on the board for any of those 24 squads based off of champs points or whoever's going to be fighting tooth and nail in our LCQ for those last remaining spots. All of these performances will be building up to whatever success they find at the end of this season. So I am very excited to see.

03:16:26 Das war's für heute.

03:16:55 Oktober 4-6. You can head on over to Battlefy.com forward slash ALGS. And even this split alone in multiple regions, we have those success stories of players coming out of the challenger circuit, making their way into Pro League Dia, and then finding success once they're here. And some of them even coming back. The winners of our last challenger circuit gamblers have Audi, Osivian.

03:17:21 Und NUTS! Aber du kennst auch Audien und Ossivien von Tempere, wenn du in Pro-League warst. Ich hoffe, ihr war. So, ich hoffe, dass sie vielleicht sogar wieder zurückkommen sind. Es gibt Teams und Spieler, die ein paar Mal zwischen Challenger Circuit und Pro-League ein paar Mal, bevor sie endlich getrennt, was es bedeutet, dass sie in Pro-League spielen. Und das ist ein wichtiger Teil ihrer Entwicklung. So, ihr seht ihr ein paar Talent, start cooking in Challenger Circuit, um Pro-League zu Pro-League zu arbeiten.

03:17:50 And you could be the next player to do it. So make sure you're registering and getting yourself in there and playing those games. But like I mentioned, we have an interview. We were getting it ready. I think Keon is ready to go. Let's bring him in here to chat about a phenomenal gameplay day. Keon, welcome. Thank you so much for jumping on and chatting with us. Thank you, guys. All right. Talk to me about today because you guys went on an...

03:18:13 Absolut tear. You just looked untouchable. What's working for the team right now? Well, so the first two early days were kind of bad. I don't think it was my teammates fault really too much, but it was really just a meta. A lot of the time is just not staying alive because you die very quickly. Today we made it like a priority and like that was our goal is just to like whatever you do.

03:18:42 Just play your life at all times. And that was like our goal going in. And we did that pretty well today, I feel like.

03:18:50 While we were watching in the final game, it was something that obviously we were paying a lot of attention to, the fight between you and Liquid for first place. It was very, very tight. How much was that affecting the way that you played the game, especially in the first couple of rings? Because I noticed, like you say, you're playing very conservatively for those first couple of rings. Was this because you were trying to outlash Liquid, or was it just not on your mind because you were so close to the top?

03:19:17 We knew either way we were going to get top two today, so it wasn't too much pressure. Liquid ended up going out really early in that game, I think in 17th place. It honestly wasn't too bad. We saw them die. We weren't really thinking about them when it was round one. We were just going to play the game plan off the zone pole. It was going to be that way whether or not they stayed alive or didn't stay alive. It just ended up going out early.

03:19:46 Wir hatten den Pressure, und wir wussten nur, dass wir ein paar Punkte brauchen, um ihn zu passen. Aber natürlich, wir wollen den Spiel wiederholen.

03:19:58 Graceful, do you have any questions here that you want to be asking, Kian? Yeah, I mean, you know, we saw you place, what, second, first, and then I couldn't tell you. Did you guys make almost every single endgame today? Is macro something that you guys are working on consistently right now, or is it something you guys already have done? Because when it comes to shooting your guns, I believe all three of you are more than potent than, I would say, the majority of the players across the world. So how do you guys work out the macro consistently getting into the endgame like this? Are you guys predicting zones early, or are you guys just having...

03:20:28 Ja, ich meine, zu starten, mich und Drop haben einen wirklich tollen Job, um, in den Beginn des Spiels, das ist unsere Main Diskussion every single time, ist, mich und ihn einfach zu gehen, um, über die Zones zu denken, und dann auch, er hat die Final Sayung, um, was angle of, like, entry we're gonna have, oder was point of entry we're gonna have into the Zone, so. Für Macro, ich fühle mich, wir alle wissen, wie es.

03:20:56 Und dann, mich und ihn haben einen guten Job zu sagen, wie die Zonen werden. Und dann, natürlich, da gibt es ein RNG, man kann die Zonen perfecten all die Zeit. So, other than that, ja, es ist ja pre-planning.

03:21:11 I love that, because hearing that you have somebody to ball off of is so important in these moments, because sometimes when you just have one person to, you know, make all the callings, just having that little bit of a thought from somebody else, especially your team, and if you can trust each other to that level, is so reassuring, I'm sure, for him as well. But you guys have done a phenomenal job, so I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for that nice performance for today. All right, well, Keon, thank you so much for chatting with us, you guys.

03:21:36 We're phenomenal today, and I can't wait to see what you bring to the rest of the display. Congratulations again. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you.

03:21:46 Oh, what a day. What a day. All right, let's talk final thoughts. We've made it through Americas. We completed Match Day 4, Dia. What are you feeling? I mean, I'm definitely feeling shaken. We talked about teams that rocked the boat at the start of today, and man, have they done that. DKK continued to jump placements. They jumped eight places. Now they've jumped nine places to get into first. So they continue to be a team that...

03:22:12 We don't know where they're going to end up, but it's clear that they're improving by leaps and bounds. The same thing can be said for Liquid Alienware. Unreal Nightmare made several appearances in the final zone and we continue to have questions about what exactly is going on with Falcons and they're going to continue rocking said boat as now we're going to have even more questions about who's even on their roster, where those champs points are going and what that means for the rest of the league. So I walk away from today.

03:22:38 Of course, having had a wonderful time in the Americas, but still in many ways very unsure what is going on as we move from day to day because our teams are adapting so quickly and to each other.

03:22:51 in a way that makes it very difficult to predict who's going to come out on top, who's having a good day, who's having a bad day, who's already predicted that you're having a good day and has counted your good day. It's crazy, and I love it. Honestly, it's unsure in the best way. I think that's a great way to put it, Dia. I love it. Grace, how are you feeling? Final thoughts? It was a good...

03:23:11 day of apex i think a lot of these teams performed the way they wanted to and some teams maybe the way they didn't want to but like was talked about adapting never ending adapting next week will look very differently when you see changes to legends when we see changes to weapons like pk losing accelerator flatline gaining that is my bae you have so many different ways of adapting and i hope that we get to see a little bit new compositions perhaps because that's something that i'm mainly looking at because seeing

03:23:36 Stinky Boy go out game number one, and perhaps Alter game number two. It's getting a little bit redundant now. Let's get some spice in there. A little bit of seer, perhaps, even though I know people were very frustrated with him.

03:23:47 Graceful loves the little sprinkling of chaos added into the mix. Well, guys, you crushed it today, as always. Thank you so much for lending us your voices to get through the Americas. We're going to say goodbye to you for now. And today might be done, but our weekend full of ALGS sure isn't, okay? Because we have Match Day 5 for EMEA coming up right around the corner tomorrow. That'll be starting at 6 p.m. BST, 1 p.m. ET, and 10 a.m. PT. So make sure you are tuning back in.

03:24:16 See how the region closes out their double header weekend. And of course, if you're not able to make it, don't worry. We have so many ways that you guys can stay in touch with us and everything that we've got going on here at ALGS. Just follow us on social media, whether that is X, YouTube, TikTok.

03:24:39 All at Play Apex Esports or at Play Apex on Twitch. As long as you're following on there, not only will you be kept to date up with everything, but you will also be able to see some exclusive content, possibly find some giveaways on those newer socials. So make sure you are all over that. But for now, enjoy the rest of your day, okay? Go hop on and play some games of Apex Legends and we'll see you back here tomorrow, Legends.
