Apex Legends

00:00:00

00:10:57 I'm your host today, SpiderTiff, and I couldn't be more excited to dive into all of the action here today. Of course, it is Group A's last chance here to lock in their tickets for the Regional Finals because we are on the cusp of solidifying who's going to advance on to the ALGS Championships in Sapporo, Japan. But of course, I can't do it alone. I've got to bring in two amazing commentators who I had an absolute blast over in the EMEA region with just a few hours ago, Dia Graceful.

00:11:26 I'm ready to hear it again. But Dia, are you ready to run it down for Americas?

00:11:32 I'll be honest, I have a lot of emotional attachment to some of the teams in the Americas. And I'm very, in the same way as EMEA, worried about their chances of qualifying into Sapporo. Although I will say, specifically in Americas, it does feel like there are a lot more teams that are on the bubble of making it, simply due to the way that champs points were distributed globally. So we'll be tracking things a lot more closely here.

00:11:59 It's definitely been an interesting split, so I will echo the sentiment of the worry. But Graceful, how are you feeling? You're over from the EMEA region. Are you also worried about America tonight?

00:12:10 I mean, at the end of the day, I'm just here for some good gameplay. If we see more one mags and we see more double pubs, then I'm all good. At the end of the day, it's a competition. I'm happy for whoever makes it, but you just want to see who holds that trophy at the end. I thought you were going to say who's going to hold the R9 at the end of the day, because my man won some one clips like he was getting from Effect just a few hours ago. But we do kind of have this sentiment of talking about a certain show.

00:12:36 We have the name 11th Hour. I'm not sure if you were the actual one to coin that, but I think it's a great way to put it because the time is now. There's not a lot of chances left for our teams to lock it in to go to ALGS Champs. I think that's the brilliant way to put it.

00:12:55 Ja, jetzt ist es lustig, dass wir die 11 Uhr wählen haben, weil wir am Ende sind, haben wir über eine Stunde. Oder in diesem Fall, haben wir heute, morgen, und dann Regional Finals, und dann LCQ. Wir sind das letzte Zeit, wo wir brauchen.

00:13:16 And realistically, it's about playing things as safe as possible. So while we will be focusing, especially leading up to the regional final, on those teams that are locking themselves in at least in a very...

00:13:29 Ich glaube, es ist nicht nur in Amerika, sondern auch in der Welt, sondern auch in der Welt, dass ein 1st-Place oder Bust ist, als wenn es um 5th, 7th, 10th oder 10th ist.

00:13:52 Oh, and before we jump ahead, Graceville, I just want to throw it to you for your opinion on leaving it to that 11th hour, the final chances of things like the last chance qualifier or the regional finals to get your ticket into champs as like a former pro player.

00:14:06 I mean, I think we already saw different perspectives, even from the EMEA region as well, with Nascis saying, hey, I'm looking for the future of my career. And you have these different approaches of some are playing for regional finals. Some are just playing for let's hope we get top five and that's enough. Some are saying we need to make it to regional finals. And some are already at some point, maybe you have to be looking at LCQ, in which case you're looking for this as reps, essentially. Just different outlays and perspectives for sure. But at the end of the day.

00:14:34 You just have to make what you got. If you're not making it here, like you said, 11th hour, but 12th hour and 13th hour apparently.

Match Day 7 Highlights und Rollenverteilung im Team

00:14:43

00:14:43 So many hours. Well, the alarms are sounding. If you're not locked in for the regional finals, today is the day for Group A to make that happen. I would love to go ahead and look at some of the Match Day 7 highlights for the Americas region specifically. And as we kind of kick through Match Number 1, I think this is a great way to see what you guys might have missed while you were at home. If you guys didn't watch ALGS Match Day 7, well, where were you? You should have. Anytime I see Thuggets, my smile on my face. The names of some of our teams, Dia. Incredibly creative, especially...

00:15:12 die wie sie übernommen haben, die current Meta-Standings mit den PKs und all die verschiedenen Nuancen und besonders Gibby machte eine große Presence hier in den Amerikas.

00:15:24 Ja, das ist, dass wir nur ein paar Gibraltars in EMEA gesehen haben, besonders als wir aus Stormpoint haben, war eine sehr interessante Sache zu halten, Graceful. Die Peacekeepers haben einen constanten, aber die Kreative-Use von Alter, als auch, hat viele Teams, besonders in EMEA, sehr weit über die Welt.

00:15:45 Ich weiß nicht!

00:16:13 I love the question because I think it's a very valid one, right? A lot of people are still keeping tabs on them as well as ZZ, right? Huge shakeups as soon as you start kind of breaking apart the super team of the Falcons that had formed not that long ago to go ahead and take on and win everything doesn't actually pan out. Now you get ZZ coming together and you throw them into the same group. It reeks of chaos and a good time for those of us that get to call the action. Rock Esports also there in the mix towards the end with a Vaxlon.

00:16:43 Dann geht's nach 6, Graceful.

00:16:49 Ja, ich meine, das ist jetzt wie es geht, wirklich. Viele dieser Teams haben sich schon auf diese Matchdayen zu sehen. Wir sehen Rock, wir sehen Hottbog Mafia jetzt auf die Schreie. Und das ist, dass sie wieder einmalig sind, wer kann auf dem Topf und wer kann in die Serie machen. Und dann haben wir das Ende des Tages, die Topf 5 geht zu DMG, Falcons, Rocket Ninjas und Grow. All of sie zeigen, eigentlich...

00:17:13 Ja, es ist auch Falcon's letzte Tag zu versuchen, die Split...

00:17:33 2, top of the leaderboard. Grow Gaming getting a 5th place, kind of barely holding on to it by what, like 7 points or so? So it's coming down to the wire and I love how close it is because it just leads to more nail-biting performance where everything kind of matters there towards the end. And the double matchday weekends really lead to a lot of fun, a lot of Apex action. I love that we got to see the matchday highlights from day 7 plus the top 5.

00:18:00 Now, another cool thing that you guys have been cooking up behind the scenes that we get to talk about here on the main broadcast. If you were in the EMEA stream earlier today, you would have seen it. We're going to kind of work on teaching maybe the average viewer some nice terms that we throw around a lot on the broadcast. And one of them in particular is actually the roles of the players that you're going to see on the team. More specifically, the anchor position graceful.

00:18:25 I mean, at the end of the day, when all these words get thrown around for your average viewer, people that might be completely new into the game have a hard time tracking. And one of them that I really wanted to touch upon, which we see a lot and we saw in the footage right now as well, is we saw a lot of traps and walks in gameplay. So the one that I wanted to point out was Anchor specifically.

00:18:42 A couple of things that you have to look about when you look at an anchor is that they pretty much have three secondary jobs or with three roles essentially and it comes down to the core role which is holding your space and moving the base mainly with the traps and you see that likes of other characters with the fencing with the gassing etc. Once you have established a base with your team now you're looking to play off of your teammates and their angles because you're the one who needs to hold that base you're the anchor holding

00:19:08 Und dann, nachdem du all das alles kombiniert hast, hast du auch die Informationen, wenn du frei hast, und du hast einen Platz für deinen IGL geholfen, um das Problem zu helfen, um deine IGL ein bisschen zu verhindern. Vielleicht gibt es ein paar Ideen mit Informationen, denn wenn deine IGL ist da, um die Informationen zu finden und zu entscheiden, was wir tun, was wir tun müssen.

00:19:30 you might see information that that person is missing. Hey guys, this team is moving right now. Oh guys, they are fighting. Do you want a 3P? Without making the decisive call, you're just suggesting ideas to spark some fire into your IGN and that always helps out. So when you have a good anchor in your team, it helps out a lot. And especially because the anchor position is more of a playstyle,

00:19:53 Es ist nicht sicherlich locked in eine Legend-Set, aber Sie werden sehen, dass es eher an Defensive Legend ist, die mit ihren Kits zu halten. Dinge wie Catalyst, Watson und Caustic.

00:20:06 All naturally slot into the Anchor role because of the support that they're able to provide their team by holding space without needing a person in a specific place to do it. For example, Catalyst being able to reinforce doors and Caustic and Watson both being able to hold open space with their fences and traps respectively. You'll see, of course, a lot of Peacekeepers because I'll be honest, the Peacekeeper is pretty insane right now.

00:20:28 You'll also see out of this role a lot of G7s, a lot of charge rifles, marksmen, and snipers, because a lot of your job also comes down to helping your team from a distance, holding space so that the rest of your squad can extend and do their jobs correctly. We've actually pulled up a clip in Graceful. I'd love it if you could walk me through this, because Jen Burton on 100 Thiefs has been doing a great job of playing Anchor, and so I'd like to take a look at this clip and see what they're doing right.

00:20:54 Und wenn du sagst, dass es sehr flexibel ist, das ist eine TeamComp, wo die Anker nicht wirklich sehr easy zu navigieren, weil alle drei von ihnen könnten die Anker sein können, auf dem TeamComp. Aber Wachsen historisch ist der Charakter, der sich behauptet. Aber das tut nicht, dass du immer die Anker hältst. Weil jetzt, Verholtz ist eigentlich Rettung phänisch, und Jan-Bürttlund wird nicht geholfen. Und das ist das, was es bedeutet, dass du flexibel in deinem Rolle bist. Weil es dein Job ist, dass du den Platz hast, die du hier mit den Gefängnissen an...

00:21:21 und die Gen, das nicht bedeutet, dass du einfach nicht zu schützen kannst. Das bedeutet, dass du einfach nur eine Raw Support- und Anker bist. Du musst diese Rollen zwischen denen, weil manchmal dein IJL vielleicht auch Lohen, Cracken, Down- und du musst das aufhören. Und das ist dann, wenn du die Rollen interchange ein bisschen. Normalerweise, du hast die Rollen-Rolle, was dein Charakter ist.

00:21:41 Better at doing. Rafe is better at going frontline because she can phase out. Watson might be better at holding it down with the gen so you don't get naded out. Once you secure this spot, it's kind of a free-for-all, but that kind of goes to show the awareness and the split-second decision making all of these pro players have. We just saw that in the clip, and I promise you we'll see the same type of gameplay today as well.

Roster Änderungen und Team-Updates vor den Spielen

00:22:02

00:22:02 Thank you so much, guys. I mean, that was explained so well, and I love kind of seeing the examples of it. And of course, I think Jen Burton is a perfect, steadfast example of what we're seeing in Americas of kind of the flexibility in that realm. Now, another thing to get ahead of before we dive into today's matches are, of course, the changes that have recently occurred, more specifically roster mania, as if we didn't need any more changes and people rotating around ahead of champs, but we've got to keep tabs on it.

00:22:30 As you can see, Jelly over two Exterminators sniped down to 100 Thieves. That one kind of, I put a nice little question mark by it, but I think a lot of people are just kind of shoring up their subs before we move straight forward to champs over the NBA region. We have Mandy kind of locking it in as a super sub for Alliance should anything go crazy. Albert Lely over towards Hot Dog Mafia. I'm Madness leaving Hot Dog Mafia. I mean, Dia, we're just getting started because we do have some name changes as well. Because if people are leaving, we got to swap things up.

00:22:59 Yeah, this is where we'll see the Stallion's name sort of go with Albrelele, because in his stead, of course, with Shelly joining the roster, Shubhi and Naughty have swapped the name of this team to Exterminators. And on the other hand, 14K Resonance have swapped over to Kryvor Esports. So those are the new names that we'll be saying, if you're used to looking for Stallions, we'll be saying Exterminators. If you're used to looking for 14K, we'll be saying Kryvor. And if you're used to looking for Albrelele...

00:23:28 We'll be saying Hot Dog Mafia. Hot Dog Mafia, what a name. Honestly, I feel like Exterminators is a little more like... Exterminators. They're gonna... Okay, I don't know where I'm going with that. That was slightly... It's a very... It's a very... Name. Passionate. A very passionate... Dark name. Whatever it is, regardless. Let's go ahead and pull up the participants. Let's see who's gonna be playing here today. Groups A versus C. We said it earlier, it's Group A's last...

00:23:52 So, Hot Dog Mafia, CryBoard Esports, League of Our Witness, Sentinels, Team Falcons, Durags, TSM Zone, Samuels, ZZ, and Nice Guys. This is their last official match day. So whether or not you're trying to ensure that you qualify for the regional finals to get a chance to play for that top spot to lock in your ticket to chance, or maybe...

00:24:13 You just want to lock in the top slot regardless. Falcons, I'm looking at you. I'm excited to see what Guild can do because we did get to see some nice action in the top five plays over in the EMEA range earlier today. But that's what I'm saying, man. It's going to be a really good day. So let's go ahead and pull up the standings to check in on where everyone stands, Dia.

00:24:34 Yeah, this is where things can get a little scary. When we're looking at the overall standings, like you said, there is Group A and Group C playing today. Group A, this is their last day of play. And if you end up in Bottom 10, unfortunately you aren't making it to the Regional Finals. So for teams that are both in Group A, so it is their last day, and in Bottom 10, we've got Leave No Witnesses, Zone Spammers, Sentinels, Nice Guys, and the Do-Rags.

00:25:03 If any of those 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 teams don't make it, at least healthfully, into the top 20 today, it's very likely that they miss out on regional finals entirely and are forced to play only through the LCQ.

00:25:18 And that's just one of the most scary things you've ever said in my entire life. Because if you're forced to play to perfection in the last chance qualifiers, when you know it's going to be just like a frenzied bloodbath of a lobby, you just don't want to leave anything to chance, especially if you're looking to play on the global LAN stage. Because let's say you've missed out on just one LAN in general, it creates this fire of something that you never want to feel again. That fear of not being there. And then kind of questioning things. So just lock it in, get to the regional finals and give yourself that.

00:25:47 Ich weiß nicht, dass Hot Dog Mafia genug ist. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich heute mit dir, Dia, ich werde das gleiche machen.

00:26:08 Yeah, coming into this week, Hot Dog Mafia were a team that was IGL'd by Madness. And we're actually looking like they were in a pretty decent spot overall. 16th place in the league. So Hot Dog Mafia.

00:26:22 Do have a decent amount of points behind them, could even make top 10, but they were still looking for a win overall to move them into champs. Now, Skittle Cakes and Bo, they've stayed behind. Not the IGLs, but instead the firepower of the squad. And they've chosen to bring in a little bit of extra firepower, but most importantly, an IGL who can do both.

00:26:43 Giving Albrelele a chance to join the squad and, well, now I think share a lot of the IGLing responsibilities with Skittle and Boaz. This will inherently have to be a lot more diversified than it was with Madness.

00:26:57 Es ist ein Punkt-Centered-Decision, speziell für Albrelele, mit Bowe und Skittle. Es ist interessant, dass Albrelele eben Tweetet das, als eine Announcement von der Team, die er sein wird.

00:27:21 Not because it's improbable. There's a pretty decent chance that Hotdog not getting it, but they have to play really, really well because this roster is not secured for champs by any means. In fact, I'm estimating, and I'm not sure on this, but I'm estimating that they need to be placed at least top five. I'm going to say top seven to five to have a good chance, if not a guaranteed one, in my view, of making it into.

00:27:46 We're saved. Honestly, the cat face just makes me so happy. But we're not done yet. Graceful, I know you've got a team you want to talk about. And if my mind reading is correct, TSM is the team.

Team Fokus: TSM und Hot Dog Mafia

00:27:58

00:27:58 Indeed, TSM ist die Team, die ich möchte, weil sie eine der Teams, die ich glaube, dass alle Leute, die das Roster Panik, DuPen und Gent, als High Potenzial, High Skill Ceiling haben, aber sie haben noch nicht erreicht. Sie sind auf den Cusp, also für alle Theorycrafters und alle, die alle, die alle, die alle, die alle, die alle, die alle, die sind ziemlich hoch. Wir könnten sagen, Top 10, um es zu machen, aber wir können nicht sicher sein, wenn du wirklich machst. Ich denke, du musst gut genug sein, aber du musst gut sein, aber du musst gut sein, aber du musst gut sein. Du bist gut genug, aber du bist nicht da, aber du hast nicht da. Du hast es gesehen, aber du hast es geschafft.

00:28:28 All of them have shown glimpses of really high skill level. We see here, though, it's very hard to just make sure that the PK alone is showing this level of skill feeling that this team needs. However, they have shown that they have the potential, because we have seen Gent time and time again from playing on other old rosters as well, having this performance on its own, as well as dupe as well, and Panic, I think we've all had the...

00:28:55 Ich denke, das ist auch so, dass jemand wirklich hat das in dem, wenn sie es genug ist. Und sie haben das genug.

00:29:11 Well, that's what they need to do. And every time you say drama surrounding someone, I'm just like, good. I don't have any drama in my life. I love reading about it, but who knows? Just lock it in. And speaking of drama, the championship standings. TSM over there in 25th place with their points.

00:29:27 2,244 with Hot Dog Mafia right above them. So fitting for the teams that you guys both turned to talk about. Now you'll see those stars that are over by Alliance, Gen.G and Grow. That is just because those are the teams that are currently locked into first place in their respective regions. Plenty of room for potential changes, but that's why you've just got to lock it in, hone it all down and say, this is where I finish, especially if it's your last match day.

00:29:57 End it now. This is exactly how it would roll out, Dia.

00:30:03 That's crazy. Looking just down at the bottom of that. Team Liquid, TSM, Hot Dog, Mafia. All teams that are right on the bubble. Team Liquid barely making it in. Again, if it ended right now. And we've still got two days of play. Still two days of play. And I honestly just want to dive right into the action. Match number one I'm hearing is very close to dropping on in. So let's go ahead. Let's get into the dropship. Dia Grace will take it away.

00:30:31 Alright, graceful. Time for Stormpoint, where we'll be starting today's games.

00:30:37 I wonder if we can talk a little bit about the draft for Stormpoint, because it actually ended up being really important when we got into Stormpoint in EMEA. With the amount of barometer zones that we had, where you ended up landing was of utmost importance. And while we do see things like Lightning Rod and Zeus Station prioritized quite a bit by teams that get first pick, Falcons even going Zeus Station, it seems like the south end of the map is pretty good right now.

00:31:05 Das hat schon gesagt, aber wir haben viele aktive Zones gesehen, auch in der Seite des Downbeast, auch in der Nord-East des Nord-Pathen. Es gibt viele Zones, und auch auf Wallen. Typically, diese Zones haben sich immer wieder repetiert, zu dem degree, dass wir eigentlich back-to-back Barrow Zones hatten. Und das wird die Leaderboard für sicher sein. Aber wir werden sehen, wo diese Zones kommt. Wir sehen uns jetzt mit GSM, einer von den Teams, die wir gerade erwähnt haben, auf den Kusp des Mägen oder nicht. Wenn sie nicht hätte, wenn sie es heute enden. Glücklich für sie.

00:31:34 Es wird nicht endet heute. Aber wir können auch nicht sagen, dass wenn die Teams in der Region Finale gewinnen, dass es bereits eine gewünschte Stelle gibt, dann wird es auch noch mehr Platz geben. Es geht um die Ladder, sozusagen. So, die Raum für Error ist gerade da. Die Teams sind auf dem Kusp. Aber für alle anderen, die nicht nur noch da sind, sie müssen es für den Top-Spot gewinnen, entweder die Finale oder die LZQ.

00:32:01 Really interesting ChampsPoints discussion to be had. I do want to talk to you more about this later, but to focus in on what's going on for this first game, we've got a zone that's pulling us down towards the southeast side of the map. FYR Strays, who land over at Devastated Coast, they're going to have a pretty good scan on where this ring is. Oblivion are already rotating over. No surprise that they got the scan out of Forbidden Zone. And then nice guys from Pylon also have first ring information.

00:32:28 They should be rotating basically right past Orin Esports, and I would expect that Orin get a pretty good idea of where this ring is going just by watching everyone else rotate in.

00:32:39 Ja, diese drei Teams in der Zone können bereits sagen, dass die Leute rotatieren können, so sie werden mehr als glücklich sein können, in welcher Slot sie bekommen, weil sie fast haben die Free-Picking-Auf-Choice an dieser Stelle. Als andere Leute sind slowly moving in, die Team Inferno sind auch immer wieder. Diese Zone ist aber sehr anders aus dem EMEA. Diese Zone ist eher nach dem Launchpad, und diese Zone ist sehr anders. In Barometer haben wir viele Playable-Areas. Hier, however, haben wir ein paar Tunnel-Bilden, und dann Highground, und dann nachdem ihr...

00:33:09 Ich würde sogar überraschend sehen, dass sie in Devastated Coach nicht genommen sind, nur weil sie die wenige Plätze sind, dass sie sicher sind, dass sie sicher sind, dass sie sicher sind, dass sie sicher sind, dass sie sicher sind. D-Gap ist zu machen, also durch Forbidden Zone zu machen. Für meine 2-Sens ist es, dass du aus Forbidden Zone wirst. Ich würde viel lieber in Pylon als in Pylon, als in whatever Chaos passiert in der Mitte der Mann.

00:33:38 Ja, definitiv. Das ist auch eine der Angelegenheit, die in Naskin und EMA gesagt haben, dass sie einfach nur die Macro geändert hat. Wenn das passiert, auf einer Live-Tournament-Match wird, dann wird man sofort baffelt. Man kann sich rätten. Und das ist, dass die Leute sich sicher haben, um ihre Angle zu schützen, um sie zu schützen, um sie zu schützen, um sie zu schützen, um sie zu schützen. Und wenn sie jemanden auf dem Macro treffen, dann wird man nicht überrascht.

00:34:03 Oh, I do wonder if Zone Spammer hold this building. This is one of the buildings that I was thinking of as a relatively safe space if you want to try and play for the later rotate. Shopify Rebellion currently holding what is essentially a very difficult to push spot, if not impossible, but difficult to push position. Up on Devastated Coast. Unlikely to be the end zone, but hey, so is this. Kryvor choosing to play the low ground here. Yeah, the ring is probably not ending here, but man, if it does.

Spielverlauf und Teamstrategien auf Stormpoint

00:34:32

00:34:32 You're in a great spot. Yeah, this is one of the areas that's very playable, as long as nobody aggresses early. But speaking of aggressing early right now, 100 Thieves getting engaged on by Sentinels. One of them already gets downed. Jen Burton, the one we saw in the clip earlier, is getting engaged on by the whole, oh my god, the whole meat squad. Defensive Caustic Ultimate forces Sentinels back. They're still looking for an angle into this. I believe Jen Burton's been able to stabilize Ult out of...

00:35:00 Riley forces a bubble on the other side, but...

00:35:05 This looks like 100 Thieves have fully reset and are ready to fight. This is not the advantage fight that Sentinels had earlier. In fact, Boney is now looking for angles inside of a defensive bubble from Sentinels. Riley's getting pushed back. And Sentinels have not lost one, but nor have they traded favorably with 100 Thieves. Finally, first knock is going to go down, but it's in the favor of 100 Thieves. And Sentinels, unable to push their advantage, lose two and have got to get out.

00:35:31 Huge reset by 100 Thieves, showing that promise of triple swinging that door, making sure that if you shoot at one of us, all three of us will shoot at one of you, taking them down with ease, I would say, after that reset. The Gibralt was a little bit mistimed, he was hoping they would be playing around the house, but that bubble play from 100 Thieves made them set a good reset.

00:35:51 Almost the perfect example of what we were talking about in the pre-show as well. Good anchoring from 100 Thieves to not only reset, but buy themselves time. They do still have at least one member of Sentinels nearby them, but there are bigger problems in their future. ZZ coming up right behind 100 Thieves are going to very quickly force the team to disengage, and with a Trident Bubble Rotate, that'll do it.

00:36:19 Definitelt. Wenn die Bubble nicht da war und die Arxer hat, dann wäre es Night Night für die Team da.

00:36:26 ZZ looking very happy with that. Everybody is playing what we like to call the Meat Mountain is the comp. You have the three thick boys ready to swing at you with Fortify, with Shotgun Enhanced. And now everybody is running it because this Gibi play with the Bubble and the Trident have been a phenomenal rotational move where normally you would have to use the likes of, you know, the Wraith Portals, the Paths, the HDP. But when you can just use an ability, not an ultimate, an ability and make way further than your typical ultimate.

00:36:55 Es macht Sinn, warum diese Pro-Payern sind. Es gibt keine Sorgen, dass in ein Pro-Lobby, Kaustik ist unser Best-Pick-Legend in Game No. 1. Es gibt viel Wert für Teams auf der Welt, aber auch hier auf Shopify-Rebellion, mit niemandem in der Nähe, haben die Gas in deinem Back, ist ein sehr starkes Tool, um andere Teams zu verändern, wie die Schuads-Below-Shopify-Rebellion, auf Purples und Blues zu wollen.

00:37:26 Indeed. Looking at the zone as well. Zone just closed and now we'll see that it actually pulls more towards.

00:37:33 ...southern side of the zone. That means everybody on the northern side is soon about to be walking uphill battle. Because now, when you're on the same side as five other teams and you all have to cross into areas whilst getting held by like three teams on absolute height shooting at you, it's gonna be mayhem from that side. We can already see it unfold as Kryvor Esports, one of the new team names we just saw, gets eliminated right there. And people are already starting to opt for fighting on edge because we still see several teams on edge as well.

00:38:03 Some teams, even tanking Zone, has been watching whatever is happening down here. I think Durags are waiting for the bubble to rotate and finally the cooldown does occur for them. They gotta get moving pretty soon, but the question is where do you go, especially when the Zone has pulled furthest out. Nobody really wants to get out.

00:38:21 Bubble's gonna expire soon. Durags end up rocketing to the top of the hill and trying to hold down this area. Melo not going to ult, saving the Newcastle Ball for a slightly different position, but it costs Bo for his life. And Durags may not be long for this world, I gotta tell you Graceful, there are a lot of teams focusing them right now.

00:38:41 Luckily, right there, the Gibby Bubble actually came up on time. That was very scary. If you can't get that ult down immediately, the Q almost, like, was just right there to save them, essentially. That was really good. However, this spot is one of those areas where as long as nobody is widening you on that bridge, which...

00:38:56 No man should really be able to, but depending on the comp, you could potentially, could be a little bit scary. But they should feel good for the moment as we now see that Zone pulling more towards the southern side, right on top of Strays, right? There we see them on top of the building where the UAV normally spawns. And Oblivion in a good spot, however, Zone typically don't end there. They're going to have to opt to late rotate potentially, but not dissatisfied with this spot at all, I believe.

00:39:23 Hotdog Mafia playing up by Stormcatcher. Looking for Ring 3 information. Any team that rotates through Pylon, I'm actually expecting a team like Sentinels to be able to do this, could get Ring 3 info as well. And then of course, FYR strays if they're able to, say, bubble on top of the survey, or rather on top of the Ring console.

00:39:41 Survey beacons on the way in will make things a little bit easier as well for teams like Hotdog Mafia and Five Star, but for the most part, it is this whole north side, like you're talking about, Falcons, D-Gap, Zone Spammers, even Hotdog Mafia and Five Star who haven't made it in yet, that will eventually need to leave Launchpad, who have the hardest journey ahead of them in terms of winning Game 1.

00:40:03 Definitely. However, we see, though, Zero, Sykes, and Funk taking that spot from what we saw in the team earlier that passed away right there. We see their boxes on the ground right there. Have taken their spot. And earlier on, it might be hard. Later on, it should be fine. However, we saw Gas Barrel right there. Actually, it caused a gold. I think it wasn't even their cost gold.

00:40:22 Ich würde mich fühlen, wenn ich jetzt wieder hier bin, wenn ich das Reset habe, als andere Teams werden noch ein schwieriger Zeit zu schießen, denn jetzt, wenn die Zone collapse auf den Norden, sie sollten ziemlich frei sein zu halten. Ihr wisst, was besser ist als ein Miserable Spot mit einem Triton? Holding ein Miserable Spot mit zwei Tritons. ZZ! Ich sage es jokendlich, aber es ist objectively, dass sie viel mehr cover ist.

00:40:50 als das vorhin war. Wir werden sehen. Ich glaube, das wird wohl besser sein können als Kryvor sein. In großartig, weil der Trident und die Zone ist bald. Und auf diese nächsten Zone-Close wird es so viel schwieriger zu focussen, sogar in dieser Choke, die sie jetzt halten.

00:41:10 Ja, jeder Team, der sich jetzt aufhören kann, ist, dass die Team nicht nur umgekehrt werden müssen. Sie müssen uns nicht umgekehrt werden, weil wenn Sie uns nicht umgekehrt werden können, wir könnten 3P sein können, weil wir drei Teams haben, auf jeden Fall haben. Also alle drei von ihnen wollen, dass sie nicht umgekehrt werden können, so dass sie 3P sein können. Aber wenn wir in eine Tide spot sind wie das...

00:41:30 Unless you time your ults perfectly and your utility, you can easily get nated up when you're playing that close on top of each other. So they gotta make sure to stay vigilant on scouting ahead and preplanning. And the zone pulls even way further south. Shopify, Rebellion, TSM, and Virtus.Pro all insanely happy right now as they're holding off their spot. Virtus.Pro, however, could get engaged on by two different teams, never mind the fact that they could also get evac'd on top of each other. But TSM looking very likely to place good into late game.

Spannungsgeladene Schlussphase und 100 Thieves Triumph

00:42:00

00:42:00 I mean, heck, I'm thinking about Ring 3 scans with people like Sentinels and, like we said, FYR Strays on top, but if we're looking down towards the south side of the map, the fact that 100 Thieves rolled a Mythic Crate could actually be a big problem for Durags and Virtus. Depending on what you pull out of that, if it's a Craver, you could very suddenly find yourself in trouble. And speaking of teams that could suddenly find themselves in trouble, Hot Dog Mafia are taking an Evac Tower into the unknown, so let's take a listen with Hot Dog Mafia as they land.

00:42:29 Ich bin der Nanny-Bottom-Bottom-Builder hier. Ja, wir sind gut. Ja, wir sind gut. Es ist ein Team über uns. Team in der Red Room ist peking. Wir haben die Q-Pläge, die wir heute gemacht haben, mit Kryptodrom. Du hast es blind, dann geht das Leg. Ich bin sicher, es ist 3. Freeze.

00:42:59 So I didn't keep you down here. Right wall didn't extend care. Okay. Yeah, be careful height Gonna have to get to like the corner spot next probably cute altercule right? That's right here. I'm not sure to him Evac a balloon balloon. I'm shooting it out. I'm sure now feedback

00:43:19 Good strategy planning right there by Hot Dog Mafia. They already have Q's pre-planned with that altar as well, knowing where they need to go, making sure that nobody was there. Luckily, they didn't just run into somebody because that could have started a whole chaos. However, Gotti spawned into the next zone fairly comfortably, but they're not safe just yet. When they see the next zone reveal, they still need to make several moves to be safe. Does Verhul see Virtus Pro moving up this hill on them? 100 Thieves are so laser-focused on Durags right now.

00:43:49 Vertis Pro könnte sehr gut springen eine Trap, als das Spiel beginnt. Das Bottom-Side des Map hat viel Fokus auf es. Diese drei Teams, und jetzt mit zwei Bubbles, sind definitiv zu erzeugen. In geht's Shen Burton.

00:44:06 Bubble swing not going his way, but you know Virtus.pro are coming up behind this. Right now, 100 Thieves are winning the fight. They haven't lost anybody yet, but they have lost a lot of utility. Durags go down, 100 Thieves reset inside their own bubble that expires immediately. But they're eating a Gibby ult. Even with that though, Virtus.pro gets shoved back.

00:44:26 Virtus.Pro ist nicht vollständig auf das. Sie versucht mit einem Well-Placed Gibraltar, aber Upsu-Rotate ist für die Positionierung. Das ist nicht ein schlechtes Decision, denn sie sind nicht wirklich so stark. Aber 100 Thiefs ist wirklich so, wie die Bubble-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly-Fly

00:44:52 Maybe one of the next squads to leave, as they are positioned way far up north, and every team up north, like you mentioned, every team that's still holding onto a spot inside of Launchpad is gonna have a miserable time running up this hill. It's extremely difficult, even for zone spammers, who are doing a great job of finding damage right now, and playing for kills seems to be their answer.

00:45:15 Sie müssen für etwas spielen. Und jetzt haben wir hier ein Fight unfolded. Wir werden jetzt 3-Pieters fighten, als der Fight in der Haus geht für eine... ...almost eine Träte. Eigentlich, als die zwei Leute getrennt werden, eine Team wird jetzt geblieben. Sie werden jetzt nicht geblieben. Ich denke, sie wissen noch.

00:45:33 D-Gap have fallen, and Zone Spammers are right on top of this building, forcing these two teams to fight. Caustic Gas actually gives Zone Spammers Zone priority, technically, but rotating out underneath them seems to have solved that problem. Zone Spammers don't want to full commit to the fight. Instead, they're going to Alter Porter down onto it.

00:45:53 Dark Knight fällt, als Sacred findet ein guter Pick, aber Zone Spammers wird schnell verloren, als die Zone spirale in auf sie. 5-star wird raus, aber im Endeffekt der Exit von diesem Gebäude wird ein weiterer Squad. Oblivion schaut auf Zone Spammers, als 100 Thieves kämpfen für High Ground. 100 Thieves haben schon wieder kämpft, und sie sind wieder auf VP.

00:46:17 Looking to fight earlier on is now getting punished by it They're just playing in that one blue box getting absolutely crossfire GP ulted from top crossfire through the box And I'm not sure how they're still staying alive and now they're going down by two different teams Two of the members are down and it looks like a hundred teams is gonna get pretty much nothing good spot But a really solid spot if they can clean this fight up

00:46:37 Nice guys, Zone Spammers, Virtus Pro, and Team Inferno now all gone. Ten squads left, a Kraber in the hands of Blinxer, and a safe retreat through the Void Nexus takes Oblivion right back home. 100 Thieves own this high ground, though, and that's what Oblivion have really given up. Yes, they may be safe, but how do you get back up this hill to 100 Thieves, who have, I'm gonna call it a Godspot.

00:47:03 Das ist ein wirklich guter Spot, das sie mit ihren Händen zu haben. Aber die Hauptsache, warum es jetzt stark ist, ist, dass dieses Bereich, wo Zentral ist, ist jetzt ein, zwei, drei, vier...

00:47:14 4 teams and 2 teams underneath, fighting from the same side, the northern side that we talked about, the collapse happening, makes that spot so, so much safer. 100 Thieves very happy with that, fighting only 2 teams to get their spot in the next zone, and the zone actually ends, as you can see, right next to 100 Thieves. This ain't the god spot for Dimon, because it pulled straight on top of them, but...

00:47:36 All the remaining six teams on the northeast side are going to have to fight now as two teams. The likes of TSM that we talked about earlier and also 100 Thieves that we saw at that short anchor session are going to be holding out absolutely everybody. Hotdog Mafia counterslamming underneath. Dude.

00:47:56 Und es 100 Thieves sind wirklich...

00:48:25 Ich glaube, wir sehen uns alle zusammen mit ZZ und dann schlossen auf die Szentenles und Exterminators.

00:48:49 So much space. Nobody's challenging 100 Thieves right now. There is one other team in this conversation, though, with four squads left as Exterminators go down. Oblivion's on this low ground, getting cyberbullied by ZZ and 100 Thieves. And then you've got TSM on the other side, playing very slow, very quiet, still inside a building. We'll see what TSM are able to do, if they're able to do anything, because right now, I'll be honest, 100 Thieves and ZZ, they run Stormpoint.

00:49:17 Honestly, TSM hat die Möglichkeit zu machen, aber sie optieren für mehr KP, statt zu gehen. Wir sehen uns jetzt ein Gent hier, um zu sehen, ob er sich auf einen Skynades kann. Ist das die Erklärung der Sie brauchen, um etwas zu bekommen? Nein, es nicht.

00:49:34 A little bit of damage, always gets him down. Is that enough to force TSM to take that spot? But CC playing on the opposite side of this clip. Nobody wants to be the team to make the first move. But CC now is flanking right. He's calling. Hey, we're not going to be the ones in the middle. We're going to be on the edge. I may not be.

00:49:50 Ich weiß, dass Verhulst war dann, dass ZZ war, dass ZZ war, dass ZZ war, dass ZZ war für die winne, und sie sind sicherlich für eine Weakness. Funk und Sykes bereit zu schwingen auf 100 Thieves an einem Moment's Notice, aber nicht zu gewöhnen, in der face of 100 Thieves. Aus gehts ein quick Nade, aus gehts ein quick Barrel, keeping ZZ at bay, aber es ist ein Kampf für die High-Ground, als TSM, komplett ignoriert, auf die Low-Ground.

00:50:20 All the damage the 100 Thieves have done with the Peacekeepers should be enough to keep ZZ on low ground. They've got gas priority in the form of the barrels.

00:50:47 ZZ-TSM-Fight. 100 Thieves start to rain down nades.

00:51:16 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

00:51:36 100 Thieves closing that game out. When they're getting pressured by both TSM and CC from each angle, played that blue box very well, making sure to not overuse utility so that they could have all of the utility for that late game. They were the last team to pop their bubble, and they were able to close it out because then the teams on the bottom are pretty much playing for second, which CC ended up losing because at the end of the day, who 100 Thieves is shooting from up above is RNG at that point, and CC took the short end.

00:52:06 3rd place? With all 3 teams playing like that? It's not bad. That's a pretty good placement.

Analyse von Spiel 1 und Jen Burtons Rekordleistung

00:52:16

00:52:16 The big story coming out of our first game is absolutely 100 Thieves, because that's the kind of play that you want to be focusing on as you approach regional finals, as you approach qualifications to Japan, and even your chances of playing in Japan with this very same squad. 100 Thieves are looking polished, they are looking in charge, and they were unshakable, even as ZZ and TSM, both clearly with experience, were playing for a win and looking for weakness from the squad with the best spot.

00:52:46 Ich meine, nicht nur das, aber wir sahen einen kleinen Chink in der Armour in den Beginn, wenn sie low waren. Aber das Reset und von da an und vorhin, sie waren so gut in jeder Phase. Und wir sehen die Match Performance hier. Die anderen Teams, die in der Late Top 3 waren, nicht so viele Kills, aber Placement alone wird auf die Leaderboarden. Aber wenn wir die Läge von 100 Thiefs jetzt sehen, sie haben so viele Punkte, sie können 3 Däuner und trotzdem in der Top 5 bleiben.

00:53:14 Ja, das war ein fantastisches Spiel von 100 Thieves. Wenn ich das jetzt sehe, habe ich das catch in meinem Breath gesehen. Wenn Jen Burton tatsächlich got 13 Kills in diesem Spiel, das tatsächlich bedeutet, dass er die Rekord für die meisten Kills in eine Single-Game in Split 2 hat. So, er hat er!

00:53:33 Und das ist ein großes Landmark zu besetzen, nachdem die Rekord gesetzt wurde von Killer Whales letztes Woche gesetzt. So Hunter Thieves sind weiterhin zu pushen, was Apex Legends aussieht. Und es ist Game 1 alone. Es ist Game 1 alone. Wir haben noch fünf weitere Spiele heute. Die zweite auf Stormpoint kommt nachher.

00:54:09 Oh no, it is not going to plan for BCG.

00:54:24 Cupid esports third partied, but this is a great reset from them. As we can see, the fight is starting to kick off here. We're going to see Cupid esports going down. Wolves esports should be able to take this and clean up the chaos. We are going to see the final moments here. It is Silca in a 1v3. Can't get it done.

00:54:43 Aber es ist die Wolves zu fortsetzen, die Spray-on-Down weitergehen. Wir versuchen zu überprüfen und versuchen zu überprüfen, um sich zu finden, die letzte Kampf zu finden. Es ist ein 3v3. Und jetzt ist es der Fall, nicht mehr zu können. Hier ist Sackto, die Lash-Left live. Und Sackto kann nicht tun. Die Wolves kommen in.

00:55:08 J.D. Gaming ist auf der Highground. J.D. Gaming ist für praktisch gratis.

00:55:29 They were worried about Alcadzia, who you mentioned were on the far side. Now Alcad get the chance to clean things up, and it's going to be Pricey, who steps through with the PK. Big shots, and will continue to chase the squad down with another 84. It's pumps of Fashadi to the body as Alcadzia walk away as your champions here in match number five.

00:55:53 Big difference in points between 4th and 1st. And every chance thereafter is more that you can add. Unfortunately, eventually, going to fall here. Dreamfire, Zuzu, the last one left alive with the Evil 8, will also end up being put down. And at the end of it all, it's Saul who walk away victorious in map number 6.

00:56:27 What's up everyone and welcome back to the Apex Legends Global Series Match Day No. 8 for the Americas Region. We set Graceful on back. There's a break. I'm stepping in. I kidnapped Dia because something cool happened in Match No. 1 and you highlighted it right after the game. Jen Burton breaking records.

00:56:47 Ja, das war ein wildes Spiel. Ich bin glücklich, dass wir ein bisschen mehr darüber reden können, als wir zu sehen, dass die Road to 13 Kills, eine record-settinger Leistung in Split 2 und an Caustic, auf alle Dinge, an die Anker Player. Wir haben das in der Preshow gesagt.

00:57:06 400 Thieves, Jen Burton ist oft die Person, die zu unterstützen, für die Squad. Aber wenn du jemanden die Kälte der Jen Burton in dieser Rolle hast, dann werden die Kälte kommen. Ich möchte einfach, Lord Jen Burton, Sir Jen Burton I. Ich weiß nicht, ich möchte einfach...

00:57:22 Das ist ein extravagant Name, als er sich jetzt komplett auf die Lobby arbeitet. Exzeptionally gut, so cool zu sehen. Du hast es in den 13 Kills, und wenn das nicht genug ist, dann noch ein Assists. 2,900 damage, 16... Oh mein Gott, es könnte mehr sein. Es könnte mehr sein, wenn du mehr hast, wenn du einen Fools auf diese Knochen hast. Wer weiß, man, das ist just insane. Die Kill Participation ist 100%, weil...

00:57:47 Why not, Jen Burton? Why not? This is the bar that we are raising here in the Americas region today, Dia. And certainly when the 100 Thieves are, I would say, pushing on the rest of the region. If they're able to output a performance like this, and what was not a fantastic macro position for them, yes, they played it really well, but coming out of Echo HQ, trying to take that hill, it all...

00:58:15 Up until the point where they were on high ground and it looked unseegeable, it was all kind of a gamble. We even had other squads looking at them. Virtus Pro, most notably, could have third-party 100 Thieves and very well might have sent them out instead of at first at something like 15th or 16th. But navigating this really well, resetting at the right times, 100 Thieves are able to take Game 1. Now what are they and what are the other squads going to do to challenge that in Game 2?

Ausblick auf Spiel 2 und Teamstrategien

00:58:44

00:58:44 They're going to have to figure it out here and now in game number two. No more caustic. You can see Jen Burton immediately locking into the Watson for game number two. And as you can see, the stats for the rest of the lobby at the very top. Jen Burton obviously with record-breaking numbers. Blinkster with four. And then it kind of just tapers off, right? Because you can only have so many duped there with two. Actually, that's crazy. If the kill disparity is 14 to that.

00:59:13 Okay, well, at least we can focus on where that circle's going, because I'm still mind-blowing, Dia. Yeah, I will say, it's a bit uncanny, to be honest. To be securing that many kills. You participate in a lot of kills. To secure that many is a bit of an anomaly. We did get a teaser of where this next zone is going, though, and worth noting that Oblivion are actually already rotating into it, so they've got some advanced information.

00:59:37 However, for other squads that surround the area and who's going to get the first chance to rotate in, Leave No Witnesses have got a pretty good rotation from Command Center, and given their positioning, I believe already have some information on where Ring is going. Zone spammers also coming through Cascade and D-Gap through Seto seem to know that this is pulling relatively centrally, and I love where zone spammers are positioning right now, right in these buildings on the low ground. If you set this up with some Watson fences, the zone pulls to your...

01:00:06 More often than not, and you could easily find yourself in top seven. I would rather play from that than the southern chokes, either, because people are going to be looking to filter through the south side, and there's going to be more teams coming in through there, but a brief look over here. Sacred in the distance, Blinxer. Now mind you, Blinxer was the second top kill leader from match number one with, I believe, four. That's a big difference there from the 13 comparatively to Jen Burton, but...

01:00:35 I also do love how you guys were talking about the anchor position in general and the types of weapons that they were utilizing. Because of course, Monsoon out here grabbing the charge rifle and using it like nobody's business.

01:00:47 It's always been his thing, and especially this season, that has become a real strength of whatever roster he is on. Virtus.pro, as they rotate in, are making use of a few different strengths, notably the Gibby Bubble Trident Rotate, making Trident an indispensable resource in 2025 for really any roster, but specifically here in Split 2, it has just been...

01:01:14 Basically unhinged, the things that you're able to do. Once you get a Gibby Bubble and a Trident together, the world is your oyster. You can do whatever you want. You can go wherever you want. For a few seconds at least. Just a few seconds for sure. I do love that we got Zone Spammers getting their res back in. It looks like it was D-Gap that had originally picked off the first member of Zone Spammers for game number one. Other than that, no kills on the table. As soon as I say that, we see a couple people with their pokes and prods thanks to the...

01:01:43 Maybe, maybe. There was a little bit of awkward news there. It was almost like a triple...

Trident-Rotationen und Team-Dynamiken

01:02:12

01:02:12 Squad, following squad, following squad. TSM rotated on the Trident, 100 Thieves tried to follow in their wake. Sentinels, I know, are taking exactly the same rotation as 100 Thieves were aiming for. So everybody got caught in this river, in their Tridents, not exactly sure what they wanted to do, except for, of course, TSM, who were first in to make it, and have now set up on the low ground with plenty of rampart walls and give you bubbles and even a Trident for cover. Sentinels, however, sieging them from above.

01:02:41 Could turn this haven into a nightmare for TSM. Fortunately, Carter does get pushed up back via the charge rifle, but Sentinel's position, not a bad one, especially for this first ring. It's even inside the subsequent zone, although taking a look at the upper left-hand corner, I don't think they know that yet.

01:02:59 I'm okay with where this circle is going to solely for the fact that we still have Gibby and Newcastle in play that have not been banned. Because let's say we had banned some of those type of Legends as opposed to Caustic based off the pick rate. You wouldn't have this much viable space in this next circle. Because you're really going to be leaning on those bubbles, those amped covers, the Newcastle walls for longevity in this game. And if you're not there yet, you're going to have to bully your way into it. Team Inferno out here.

01:03:28 auf der Seite von Launchpad werden müssen F.Y.R. Strays aufhörbar. Und es scheint, dass sie bereits aufhörbar sind und aufhörbar sind.

01:03:41 Team Inferno sind eher auf die Begründung der Begründung, als sie auf die Devastated Coast empfangen. Sie wollen FyR-Strays zu gehen, um durch EchoHQ zu gehen und, wie wir wissen, in die Hand von Shopify-Rebellion sind. Wenn Sie sich über die Frage interessieren, was Sie wissen, dass die Map-Feed hat, und es ist fantastisch!

01:04:05 This is not fantastic, though. I was not anticipating this for the Exterminators, right? I was curious, based off the roster mania, the name changes, all the things leading up to match day number eight, what would that look like for our teams that had those changes? And Naughty and Jelly both are also gone. It's Shubi, the one-man army per se, that has to potentially grab those banners, but I think the line of sight is just not clear. So we'll keep tabs on how Shubi is going to be able to occupy this.

01:04:34 Best case scenario, Shubi grabs one banner and sticks the Rez right next door. Worst case scenario, Shubi grabs one banner and dies for it. And that's why you see him staying so still right now. Sentinels, however, they get to make a move. With this Trident again, his invulnerable cover. They get to poke back at the She-Law, though Kidnap goes through. Oblivion, look for it, and actually manage to Kidnap one. Sentinels, now a duo.

01:05:02 Wait a second, was Fun just sitting there on the other side of the portal with the Sheila? Because if so, that is one of the most brutal kidnaps ever. If someone takes me like that in an ALGS match and I meet my fate at the hands of a Sheila on the other side, I'm gonna get up, take a quick lap, come back, and hammer down. Because this is where we're going.

01:05:24 Sentinels are immediately out, by the way. They get taken down to a duel and they go, you know what? No, we're bubbling, we're leaving. And now it looks like they're heading up towards Cascade Falls, taking the long way around to craft a banner and then get everybody back into the game. A totally viable strategy, especially since ZZ were holding the crafter by Seto. But we know that Sentinels haven't actually hit Cascade Falls just yet. So this is a fresh crafter for them. Nice guys playing through the south side right now.

01:05:51 als ein Team, die sich um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

01:06:11 We actually can't be sticking around as soon as Rampart gets, not even taken down, as soon as Rampart is separated for that amount of time.

01:06:38 Du-Rags haben zu erkennen, dass sie die fight verloren haben. Und ZZ, unfortunately, benefit von der Fakt, dass Du-Rags bleiben ein bisschen länger, um sie zu salvieren, eine 2v3. Das ist nicht der Weg. Bofor falls. Du hast einen memberen Du-Rags in die Forbidden-Zone, um die membersen von ZZ zu schießen. Ich glaube nicht, dass sie in diesem Fall werden. ZZ haben eine ganze Spiel zu spielen.

01:07:03 Aber es ist ein schwerer Ort für Durag zu sein, besonders als die nur Trafters left sind auf Pylon. Es gibt nicht nur einen in Forbidden-Zone. Und mit dieser Ring zu verlassen, man kann nicht mehr accesses Pylon. Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich...

01:07:28 The east, the fences, a dead giveaway. The players bouncing around saying, yeah, come on, try to rotate over here. My man, this is going to be tough. You are likely going to have to double back. Hope that ZZ went ahead and rotated forward, playing their game. It's going to allow you to grab the banners with no real issue. And then you can go on with your merry way. These take out exterminators.

Strategische Positionierung und Team-Engagements

01:07:51

01:07:51 This hold on the exit of Forbidden Zone really working for them. An additional wall just to make sure that they have defensive position on any teams rotating from their southern side. This is going to be the win condition, 400 Thieves. It is, can you hold this choke against the myriad of teams that are going to come from the south? Or will you get run over by squads like Shopify Rebellion that we know are going to come from this side?

01:08:17 We just need to channel the inner Hodor and hold the door hold the line make it happen immediately connecting a few in verholson Looking for some angles. Let's actually dive on board with a hundred teams. Yeah, they play this All three of them over there

01:08:45 Ah, sie sind in den Mif-Fick, sie sind in den Mif-Fick.

01:08:53 We like like you said, it's really bad. We're like if we're getting slammed or something like maybe we can go boost this over here. We can't. We can't boost anywhere. No, no. Take him. Take him. Okay. We have to force them. We have to force them. There's no one on this side, okay? So you can play his face. Keep that in mind. Keep it in mind. Okay? So if you have to play left, you can. They're going to walk up here and try to force me. I'm playing left side. They're kind of walking up with you. Yeah, we need to fight them. We need to fight them. They're going to walk up 100%. Can we pinch ourselves in the corner? We're fucked. I can't really walk out of the fence. There's like no cover to play.

01:09:22 Ich habe einen Heddy auf mich, so ich kann es spielen. Oh, ist er hier left, Kevin? Ja. Ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier. Ja, ich bin hier.

01:09:52 Ich habe einen Jumpt-Shot.

01:10:12 Ich habe den Ball. Ich habe den Ball. Ich habe den Ball.

01:10:42 Ich bin hier!

01:10:57 Ich bin weg!

01:11:27 Nice, guys. Durag, Shopify, Rebellion, all gone. Even Inferno have fallen. And 100 Thieves managed to hold the south side of this zone. Forbidden Zone is theirs. However, FYR strays have started walking up on them. So that is likely their next engagement. However...

01:11:53 The rest of this party continues elsewhere, Tip. Take a look at where the ring is pulling us, and it is up towards those hotdog buildings that we talked about a little bit earlier. The zone spammers managed to jump into early, and where Oren are fighting now. They definitely needed to make sure that they could get there as quickly as possible, but that's a split decision after a minute into this game. As you can see, Golden there fold throughout.

01:12:18 However, we do have some damage coming from the outside as other teams are looking for some crazy angles trying to thread the needle through the stairs. Other teams still vying for their chance to get into the circle and Hot Dog Mafia on the opposing side of Sentinels.

01:12:33 Wupple von Sentinels. O'Reilly wird zu werden... ...made von starker Stufen als das zu treffen gegen drei Peace-Keepers, die ihn aus der Basis auf den Map haben. Hotdog Mafia und Sentinels. Auch Falcons sind jetzt weg. Und ZZ ist jetzt still alive und still... ...pressuring von der westen Seite der Ring, mit einem Team an einem Team. Als jetzt, Zone-Closing wieder, will force ZZ zu finden, und vielleicht sogar auf D-Gap.

01:13:02 Standing by the rest, fighting in Venn diagrams. It's all to be expected here with the eight Gibby picks that we have in match number two. A nice frag grenade will connect. You see TSM on the low ground just trying to hold steady and heal on up. A team that is perfectly healed thanks to the lovely comms that we got in that listening. I'm healing, man, and they don't need to right now. Just trying to steadily hold this area between the wall, between the Jenny. TSM, though, on the other end of Ashila. It is chaos everywhere, Dia.

01:13:32 Orin ist eigentlich stabilisiert, als D-Gap versucht sie. Das könnte gut sein für Orin sein können. Sie haben die Zone zu helfen. Ava schläft einen, und D-Gap ist sicher zu sein. D-Gap ist sicher zu sein, mit ein wenig Hilfe von 5-starer 100-Thieves und Zone-Spammers. TSM geht es auch. Oblivion ist noch nicht so weit, für eine Kidnappe, das wird nie kommen.

01:13:57 Und neige Quads left, Oblivion, nach der nächsten Rotate zu sehen. Es wird es nach Leave-No-Witnesses werden. Sie sind gerade Griefen.

01:14:07 You know what, it's okay, because I know that Fun is just sitting there, just chuckling, holding that Sheila revved up, ready to let it go as soon as someone comes to that portal. So keep tabs, they're gonna have a kidnap counter by the end of this six-game series, but your team on the screen, 31 points, first place overall, 100 Thieves is poised to have this...

01:14:28 Schrivel of the building that will be in in the next circle. Now, they're not going to be able to hold it as everyone's going to have to full send your right just further south than where Hundred Thieves is, but being in will keep them alive longer. This fortress that they've created is going to be relatively difficult to siege. However, there are two cryptos in the lobby and a potential for an EMP could destroy it all. Boney doesn't want to coexist with anybody.

01:14:55 Ich lege den Swing out onto die Portal, aber letztendlich, Foni needs to have the rest of his team covering him, so he does get forced to dip back inside, hopefully having done enough to signal to Oblivion that that is not where you want to port, not if you value your life. I believe Chen managed to get outside, maybe put some fences on this, but as Oblivion do Portal in, they tank the fences and still manage to set up, despite the dissuasion from 100 Thieves. Oblivion...

Endgame-Taktiken und Team-Eliminierungen

01:15:23

01:15:23 will be forced right back outside the ring. And ZZ, holding now the south side, have FYR strays at their back. Oh, they're having a banger game. They're on eight kills already and plenty of more to be had as Oblivion is the next to fall in ninth. So keep tabs. Everyone's still vying for a chance to find a playable space and Zilla Cheer on your screen, throwing down the amped covers. I think playing off the back of this tree is quite nice, but not when you've got someone staring you down the back.

01:15:52 It won't get you killed, but it will get you placement. Five Star, hoping for a little bit of both right now, set up in the open and through the amped cover, are firing straight at Cryborg, but taking shots in the side and soon in the back as Zone Spammers have to exit through the top floor of the building the 100 Thieves currently occupy and have nothing better to do but shoot Five Star, who are way out in the open.

01:16:16 This is kind of a disgusting endgame, and that's my favorite part about Apex Legends, is how it pulls you out into the center. Five-star now done and dusted, and 100 Thieves are able to retreat to their little humble abode. Heal on up and wait for some of those cooldowns to get back on up, because you know that you've got that team just above you. Zone Spammers has been here since the very beginning, so I'm worried about the economy of their resources and how they've managed, but for now...

01:16:43 Unless they take a fight and resupply, we'll keep tabs on others. Reverse Pro, Lou, MT, Slayer. They're the ones that are staring down, leave no witness.

01:16:53 Die Virtus.Pro müssen etwas über Leave-No-Witnesses machen, denn die beiden Teams werden auch wieder auf den gleichen Zeit gehen, und es fühlt sich wie Mutually Assured Destruction, wenn sie sich beide bewegen, während sie sich bewegen. Schlams und Counter-Slamm sind möglich. Die Virtus.Pro haben keine Gap-Close, keine Kidnapps, keine Tools zu un-Seat Leave-No-Witnesses von diesem Korb. Finally, Gibi-Alt wird kommen, aber unter den Trennen. Ich habe zu sagen, dass sie safe sind.

01:17:21 Oh, last minute tried at Rotation. A Bubble Forward from 100 Thieves. There's the counterslam. And the PK, it connects. Now we have to dive around the wall. Can we make it happen? One more to find. And he's trying to hide. Just like that. A clear out of zone spammers.

01:17:37 That's Bubble and Wall expended for 100 Thieves to win that fight. Leave No Witness and Virtus.Pro. Now still on the same side as them. ZZ still on the south fighting against Krybor. Leave No Witnesses are down. 100 Thieves want to clean up Virtus.Pro.

01:17:52 Well Virtuspro ran in to leave no Wizards to come out, and Jen Burton closes the deal, but after the 13 kills at match number one, he will be the first to fall. The immediate bubble, 100T Verhulst on the res, my dude, looking to pick back up, go to a full team of three, keep your eyes on FYR. ZZ and Kryvor are on the other side dealing with each other. This is a good chance for the reset, because 100 Thieves' biggest issue is going to be if FYR starts a target. FYR seem to be focused on them.

01:18:21 Jetzt wird es ein Kampf geben. 3v3 auf beide Seiten. 100 Thieves haben verloren. Sie haben einen 1-Werf zu nehmen. Sie haben alle die Aufmerksamkeit in der Welt. Jen Burton hat keine Defensiv-Cooldowns und keine Health-Bar left. Es ist nur Verholtz. 100 Thieves gehen. 1v3. 3v3.

01:18:43 Das ist FYR, sie gewinnen mit 100 Thieves und sie können sofort die Issue zu ZZ. Sie breaken die Scheelah, sie lassen es ripen, das Bubble ist, und die Brunt des Dammage ist, aber jetzt ZZ will sie mit Involve. Sykes, Eva, Aiden, Hand, und sie wird sofort getötet. Oh, Leech ist so powerful, aber jetzt Zero mit der Triple Take. Wer klutzt es für ZZ in den letzten Sekunden? Was? ZZ, Game Number...

01:19:12 Wait, actually hit me with that replay, right? I think he died. I think, I think. Slow it down. He must have died like a second after. I didn't even know that was possible. That looked so insanely down to the wire. But for ZZ to win, I mean, fantastic game from them. Great 3v3s.

01:19:41 Das war ganz nah. Das war ganz nah. Das war ganz nah. Das war ganz nah. Ich glaube, wir sollten. Wir sollten es sehr schnell sehen. Ich bin wirklich sehr gespannt. Jokes aside, das ist tatsächlich ein Miracle 1 in 100 Endgame für ZZ, denn wir kommen zu 0. Aber der Charakter-Modell ist hier.

01:20:08 Ich meine, er hat 1 HP. Er connects. Cersei ist 20. Und dann... Er ist eigentlich 0. Er ist 0. Er ist 0. Er ist 0. Er ist 0. Er ist 0. Er ist 0. Er ist 0. Wie haben wir das Spiel gewonnen? Es ist einfach eine Art von Timing, das sie den extra killen, die extra Placement Points haben. Und Funk, Sykes, 0. Er hat das Spiel mit 14 kills. 4,700 damage.

01:20:34 Ich meine, es ist, dass sie ein bisschen mehr dämlich sind, was es gut ist. Es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um,

01:21:02 2nd place, also feeling pretty good Ivan.

01:21:05 Ich denke, sie sollte. Ich meine, sie hat 100 Thieves. Sie hat es geholfen, weil sie noch mehr Punkte sind, weil sie in 4th place sind. Wenn 100 Thieves gewinnt das Engagement gegen FYR, sie sind diejenigen, die in die 3rd party auf die ZZ und sie können auch noch weiter gewinnen und haben eine andere Massive-Win. Und sie werden mit den Series-Wintern, weil sie bereits 42 Punkte sind. Und ZZ, nach dem Massive-Wintern, hat 35 Punkte. So, die zwei Teams sind definitiv raising.

01:21:35 We're not done yet. We still have one more match to go on StormPoint before we dive on over to E-District. And of course, that'll be after this quick break.

01:21:55 Und das sollte VGB's werden zu gewinnen. 3V2-Szenario. Und als Sie sagen, sie sind in absoluten Position. Remarkable Team werden was sie können. Aber die Korsig-Gas will literally suffocaten sie, als Boogie-Waters nehmen Game 1. Vixeria ist die letzte Person, und sie haben sehr wenige HP zu arbeiten. Ich meine, ich weiß nicht, wie Sie aus dieser Position werden. Sie sind einfach in der 2nd Platz. Und ja, er hat er seinen Faden. Er hat drei Leute gesehen.

01:23:26 Oh, Asias! The last one left alive in a 1v2! Well, if it was anyone with an R9 and a 1v2, you want it in the clutch, it's gotta be Asias, but no! Holy...

01:23:43 Oh, das ist Solo.

01:24:17 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.

01:24:31 I shudder to think graceful I shudder to think I mean outside of that

01:24:48 Super fashionable ending to match number 2. I was very impressed with the way people were playing that macro-wise. We've seen so many moves, especially from the likes of CZ. He even managed to close his game out after moving that car into that small, small corner. But then at the end of the day, it came down to server tickrate ping? I don't know what it came down to, but it came out with them on top.

01:25:11 100 Thiefs nicht ohne eine Fyde. Aber fyrstreich hier auch nicht ohne eine Fyde. Es kam einfach auf die Wire, um das Triple Take-Shut zu verabschieden.

01:25:24 One of the big factors in this endgame, to take it from, you know, this side of the death box, which is fantastic, is the lack of Gibby on FYR causing a pretty significant problem for them when they actually wanted to engage. Because you could tell FYR were ready to fight. They were looking for purchase. Yeah, the shot comes off. There, and he dies. It's literally... It's like two frames. Maybe two frames. Maybe two frames.

01:25:53 I like to say though, with that soul play as well, one of the very common ones I've always said is the uh, you might call me a conspiracy theory in this case

01:26:22 But different regions have different zones. And I've been saying this for the longest time because I remember, I don't know, 20 seasons ago when we had Train Rail on World's Edge. And it was just zones there for pretty much like several months in EMEA. And then back on NA, it was in...

01:26:42 Ich glaube, wir sehen uns diese Zonen hier sehen, und ich glaube, wir sehen uns die Zonen hier sehen, und ich glaube, die nächste Zonen, wir sehen uns hier sehen, wenn es um hier geht, wenn es um hier geht, diese Repetitive Zonen, das wir sehen über Regionen ist sehr interessant, denn auf EMEA, wir sehen uns ein bisschen mehr auf die Mitte, und hier sehen uns ein bisschen mehr auf die Mitte. Ist das... Am ich crazy? Ist das mein Tinfoil hat? Ich...

01:27:11 Ich weiß nicht, dass ich ehrlich bin, ich bin nicht der Person zu checken. Aber ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier zu supportet, in whatever your theory ist. Und ich habe ein Meme zu senden später, das will explain mein Position auf das. Für now...

01:27:27 Let's think a little bit about this ring. Team Inferno have a zone coming over to the mass Stormcatcher. Just like you had mentioned, we are going up to the north. Leave no witnesses. Get a nice scan over in Command Center. And Oblivion and Orin seem to be rotating at the same time. As Oblivion again got the ring scan out of Forbidden Zone. And Orin finally rolled a ring console at Launchpad. So they both, coming from more or less the same place, longitudinally.

Strategische Zonenrotationen und Team-Positionierungen

01:27:53

01:27:53 Longitudinally on the map Ended up getting the information That they needed to go north, needed to set up by Stormcatcher How do you approach a Stormcatcher zone though, Graceful? Because this one does include a little bit of Rest in Peace Thunderwatch Do you try and play up by Thunderwatch? Or do you hold on to buildings by Stormcatcher?

01:28:10 Das ist die Sache. Du hast drei verschiedene Types von Leuten an dieser Stelle. Du hast die Teams die Betten auf Thunder Watch Ending, so sie gehen auf die Hillen. Du hast die Teams die Betten auf, es geht zurück, so sie gehen auf Stormcatcher. Und dann hast du die Leute in Between, die gerne zu spielen. Da sind zwei sehr gute Spots in die Hillen, auf beide Seiten, das du kannst und behalten. Und auf jeden Fall Team, du kannst auf jeden Fall betten auf.

01:28:34 Es ist schwer. Ich würde fast sagen, dass es so schwer ist als die wir auf Launchpad gesehen haben. Wenn du das Cross für die Helle hast, ist es Doomsday.

01:28:48 Ich glaube, No Witness ist es zu sein, zu einem solchen Team, die Menschen glauben, die es endet um, um zu Thunder Watch zu tun. Es ist ziemlich klar, was der Plan der Plan ist. Lock die Doors, und diese Seite. Denn mit einem Krypto und einem Rampart, um zu POK und zu einem Evo zu geben, sollte man einfach nur für die Endgame sein. Especially...

01:29:09 Wenn du bereits die Purple Armors hast, Zylash wird wahrscheinlich die Bonus von Controller Legends bekommen, das führt ihm zu zeigen, dass er die Purple gibt, aber er wird noch mehr accesses zu den Purple Park.

01:29:22 Ja, Perkz ist definitiv ein guter System zu dem Spiel. Ich bin ein bisschen skewed in dem, wie strong und wie weak die Perkz sind. Aber es ist definitiv sehr refreshing, so zu sagen. Being able zu machen Strategies über eine bestimmte Perkz ist sehr interessant, weil es sich sehr interessiert ist, weil es sich um, für sicher. Jetzt, Speaking of shaking, Falcons bereits mit der Mid-Game-Last-Gamer ist, schon wieder zu der Wiener, jetzt sehr early auf 20. Immediately zu erinnern.

01:29:49 In 20th is wild. And to be taken down by Team Inferno on their rotate up. We see the surprise altar plays really, really coming in clutch there. And really well executed by Team Inferno. It's what you have to do, be it against Falcons, be it against anyone. The play's the same. Yeah.

01:30:13 Speaking of playing the same, 100 Thieves making these incremental advances towards the zone once again on the side where they just have to take one specific fight to be in a good spot. This is what I like to call that you're fighting for power spots essentially. Now they're betting on the zone ending more towards upside of the hill so they're fighting for the tunnel on the spider caves and now we're gonna see how this fight unfolds because this is gonna come down to a shotgun fight.

01:30:37 Es ist der Hotdog Mafia, Skittle low und von der Last Shot, von Phoney, der jetzt vielleicht auch schon wieder aufgenommen wird. Peacekeeper wirklich schnellen sich um. No quick reset von Jen Burton oder Verhulst, auf jeden Fall, mit ein paar Nades zu coveren. Vielleicht, vielleicht vielleicht, dass sie ein Rez auf Phoney werden. Jen Burton spielt Anker für die Squad, wieder zu legen, und vor allem, auf die Hände, und vor allem, auf die Hände. Hotdog Mafia managed zu escape, mit der Void Nexus.

01:31:06 100 Themes haben nicht gewonnen, aber sie haben den Platz gewonnen. Eine Sache ist, dass die länger sie hier sind, wenn sie nicht auf Hot Dog Mafia sind, ist alles ein Zeitpunkt, bevor eine andere Team kommt hinter ihnen. Und wenn das passiert, und sie werden pinched werden, dann wird es eine sehr schwierige Zeit für sie zu machen. Also, ich hoffe, dass sie sich auch versuchen, wenn sie etwas machen können, wenn sie nicht. Aber wenn sie nicht, sie werden müssen, dann müssen sie auch noch ein paar weitere Optionen gehen. Hot Dog Mafia.

01:31:35 Also in a place where even after their retreat they could easily get pinched Playing here on the low ground any team that comes up the hill into Thunder Watch is going to see a squad with a Watson fence defending them and against against gunfire Watson fence ain't doing not shall be honest with you Yeah, at that point you're almost using the Watson fences as cluster to make sure that they can't shoot you as easily but

01:32:01 You know at some times you gotta make do with what you got and they're making the best out of the situation right now But as you said they have to make room for when things do end up getting closer because teams are slowly slowly moving into the zone We see almost every single team in this zone as opposed to the other actually other match actually where a lot of teams were on the edge Deciding before they went in now a lot of people went straight in because like you said as we can see here It's only a couple teams outside of the zone because all the other teams are betting on where it's going and

01:32:30 All the teams up top called it correctly. Everybody on down low is going to be in a tough spot. However, all the teams on the southeast side, the likes of Oren and FYR, are actually in a good spot because they're not locked in, locked in. However, they have to get through several teams, but taking edge fights is way more advantageous than taking a fight up the hill. So we'll have to see how that unfolds.

01:32:50 Yeah, this whole Team Inferno area could be very quickly contested again by either Orin or FYR. I'm noticing that Shopify Rebellion got a ring scan, and ZZ in the south also got a ring scan. Shopify Rebellion, who I was expecting to have a slightly more dominant performance today, still could, still could. We've only played two games so far. And ZZ, who have already won a game themselves, seem to be opting into the same rotational path as 5 Star and 100 Thieves. Very curious to see how this turns out, especially because...

01:33:20 They do have Survey Beacons on the way in to change the plan should they need to.

01:33:25 Krimori, Esports here in D-Gap as well. As I said before, there's two areas on that hill that is really good to play for you guys that hope they like to play ranked. If you want the playable area, those are the two spots that you want to play. Always a nice little thing. Team Inferno sitting very comfortably in what we used to consider a god spot because the zone used to end there quite a lot. But now, like we said, on the edge of things, ZZ once again looking to see if there's any teams here and they're looking to take a fight. They potentially saw somebody. Let's have a small listening and see if they're going to take a fight.

01:33:54 Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht

01:34:25 We have to harddrapp. Harddrapp zone. We have to this way. Alright? This way, right? This way, this way, this way. Oh, right side? Alright. We're not going to have a car up the hill. Yeah. There might be someone playing. Yeah, we're looking to take the...

01:34:53 Ich bin froh, dass ein Teil von einem Team durch die Tunnel wird, und das kann sich für sie aufhören, wo sie einen Potenzial hat. So dass sie einen Potenzial haben, dann kann sie einen Potenzial haben, dann kann sie einen Potenzial machen. Ich bin froh, dass sie einen Potenzial haben. Ich bin froh, dass das andere Potenzial ist, weil das andere Potenzial ist komplett random. Sie können nicht wissen, was ist hier. Aber hier ist es nicht so gut, aber hier ist es ein Do-Or-Die-Moment. Hier gibt es viele Optionen. Sie können sich weiter nach dem Spider-Choke gehen. Sie können sich ein bisschen mehr auf die Schöke gehen. Sie können sich ein bisschen mehr auf die Schöke gehen.

01:35:22 They have several areas where they wouldn't immediately die. So, very happy with this call from Zero. A big part of the way that ZZ are playing right now...

01:35:35 Also hat es zu tun mit dem Fakt, dass wir schon gesagt haben, dass sie Survey Beacons auf dem Weg haben. Der Composition kann nicht mehr nehmen. Und so sie haben sie alles zu nehmen. Sie sehen eine Team hier, Sie sehen zwei Teams hier. Sie wissen nicht genau wo sie sind, und Sie wissen nicht mehr, wo sie sind. Und so Sie haben sich zu spielen super-saflich. Das ist eine große Sache, warum wir sehen ZZ Retreat haben. Und funnily enough, nach dem nächsten Ring-Close, sie werden eine Mythic-Crate auf sie haben. So vielleicht war es auch so.

01:36:03 Das ist der Plot Barmer, um sie zu helfen, weil sie ein schweres Rotate zu machen, um das Hill zu machen. Und ja, es geht darum, es geht darum, dass man sich nicht mehr zu nehmen, als du wirklich musst. Und das ist eine der Dinge, dass man calm-headed und gut zu planen. Als wir sehen, dass wir die Zone hart pullen.

01:36:23 All the way towards Lightning Rod. And now all of these teams are fighting for this area. We saw Hotdog Mafia playing underneath the building earlier that we're feeling safe for the moment. Won't be safe for that much longer. DGAP will now be looking to get KP on the southern side. Same with Orwin Esports. And Team Inferno is looking to hold out their backs against FYR as well. So now that you have three teams holding out their backs, a lot of these teams are going to fall as Circle3 closing is in one minute.

01:36:48 Und leave no witnesses, they are really laughing right now. Sitting up on high ground, they prioritized it early, they locked the doors with the rampart, they've still got a crypto, defensive EMP ready to go. I know that we aren't into placement territory yet, I know that they haven't won the game, and who's to say if they're even likely to, but the positioning...

01:37:09 Der Prediktion ist wirklich gut für Teams wie Digital Witnesses, Exterminators, 100 Thieves sogar. Und es könnte auch gut für Virtus.Pro als sie in Engagement nehmen.

01:37:23 Fue GnP, aber wenn du siehst, dann ist er immeetert, aber der WP-P-K-Shot nicht mehr reagiert. Er hat eine gute Sprache mit dem R9, aber wenn du mit 2 WP-P-K hast, ist wirklich nicht so viel zu reagieren. Nice Retaliation da von VP. Und das ist genau das, was du musst. Wenn jemand einen WP-Swingen, du musst du ein WP-Swingen, dann kannst du nicht reagieren. Vertisk Pro in einem sehr schweren Spot. Sie haben FYR Strays, und sie haben Schoppe 5 Rebellion.

01:37:51 Coming at them from the east side. A lot of teams are going to have to converge. All the way by Stormcatcher. With no real cover and no real buildings. As ZZ make their rotate in. Of course with the Trident. Of course with the Bubble. But importantly with the Kraber on zero.

01:38:11 They're actually safe where they're at right now. Just a little few more inches in towards them. They could even stay down here by the boxes as they actually score downs as well. Several teams are shooting at the first team to go there. But when you're the last team and your back is scared, you have a lot more leeway to do stuff. CC making that pay of not going too early is very conservative. And that's exactly how you need to play it when you're in these high hot areas.

01:38:34 Not much the Durags could have done, but Nice Guys may be able to hold on where Durags fell. With a little bit of cover, even provided by the Death Boxes. ZZ are looking for angles to finish off this team, but having some trouble doing so. Nice Guys, pretty safe. Shopify Rebellion, unfortunately not so. FYR Strays will go down as well. And TSM throw out a couple of nades right now as DGAP.

01:39:03 Look to survive themselves against Virtus Pro. This whole east side devolving into chaos. James Fearless needs one good PK pump. Does not get it. As Slayer answers back and D-Gap goes down. We saw VP retaliate earlier. Good shots by Avoldi, but not enough. As Slayer says, no, no, no, I'm still up. And he finishes up the squad. CT looking very happy here with his Kraygrass. You see a Resciting Pooldog. He tried to...

01:39:29 Er ist nicht so gut, aber es ist nicht so gut. Zeiss geht das an. Aber sie haben noch zwei mehr Teams zu gehen, auf der Weg auf die Hillen. Das ist nur eine Seite. Kann man es durch zwei, drei, vier Teams, wenn wir die Teams unter dem Bilden sprechen? 5-Stars-Fighting-Sentinel auf der High-Ground. Die Sentinels wirklich wollen auf diese Richtung. Es sollte ihnen eine safe Rotate-Out später geben. Aber Bubble wird sie aus.

01:39:56 Das ist nicht gut für Sentinels, die sich ein wenig Platz geben zu haben, zu den 5-Schar-Lads. Aus kommt die Amped-Cover. 5-Schar hat ein bisschen hochwertig, aber es kommt zu den Peacekeeper-Pumpen, zu Close-Range-Shotgun-Blasts. Und zu wenn Sentinels sind, wenn sie so viel Platz geben können, wenn sie so viel Platz geben können. Lord of the Rings-Türnze ist zurück, wird es in den Kopf getötet. Und Sentinels, wie auch das, haben sich in den Kampf verloren. Es ist 2-Dauw, es ist 3-Dauw, 5-Schar. Sie fühlen Weakness, und sie nehmen ihn aus.

01:40:26 Das war eine schlechte Zeit für die Repositionierung. Du musst es machen, wenn sie nicht pecken. Sie haben das absolut Worte Timing gemacht. Speaking of Timing, CC geht für den GB in Trident Place. Sie sehen die Defensive unten, aber Hot Dog Mafia ist nicht mehr da. Sie sind für den Tunnel Play. Es ist ein Team, dass Sie sich auf die Team auf die Team mit der Zonen-Spammer und die Zonen-Spammer wird sofort eliminiert.

01:40:48 Das ist nicht real. Ich glaube nicht, dass ZZ tatsächlich alle diese Schöne haben. Sie einfach Maggi-Ball und threw ein paar Peacekeeper Pellets auf sie mit ihren Händen. Und so Spammerz desintegrated. Team Inferno haben aber die Fastest 3v3 von diesem Spiel gelongen zu ZZ bei einem Mile.

01:41:07 100 Thieves in a phenomenal spot right now. Working the way throughout that tunnel earlier on where Hotdog Mafia was trying to gatekeep them. Didn't succeed and now they're in a super solid spot right there. Nice guys working way up this cliff like we said before. Very hard to hold as you have several teams moving up at the exactly same tempo as you. And they get immediately patient eliminated. With Oren going down as well.

01:41:32 The few teams left on the low ground, Cry4 and Virtus Pro still have to deal with squads like Leave No Witnesses and ZZ who are terrorizing Thunderwatch right now, taking one team on after another.

01:41:46 And if I'm not mistaken, not dropping a member, Leave No Witnesses try to dance around, but ZZ hadn't even suffered a knock yet and seemed to have plenty of safety to reset with. Leave No Witnesses are lucky to have Rena get out of this alive, but that's a temporary status, whereas the KP that ZZ are getting is forever.

01:42:05 Undra These and Virtus Pro both!

01:42:31 Das ist ein tolles Spiel von Exterminatorn, um die 100 Thiefen zu nehmen. Die Exterminatorn haben jetzt den Kontrollen gewonnen. Die 5-Stars getabducted durch die Lowground. Das war nicht der Wahl, aber es wurde für sie gemacht. Und sie werden dann Glückwunsch zu leben, wenn sie das tun. Exterminatorn zu sehen, dass sie das. Die Jelly kann Extend-Out, die Serial-Cat geht, und die 5-Stars getreifte von den Ultraman.

01:42:56 I don't think anybody's in there. Just watching for the portal right now. ZZ really want to hold all this space to themselves.

01:43:31 Definitely taking their time. They know they're safe indoors. Looking with that Kraber as well. They know there's a team below them. They know there's a team above them potentially. And then we have Exterminators owning 90% of the zone right now. As TSM is on the other side as well. Looking to make pace on them. Comes down to Altercuse. Everybody's fighting with the PKs. One down comes out. Exterminator is holding on to their spot for their life right now. They're getting shot up.

01:43:54 Schau that from above the rooftop as well. But if they can just stabilize here. Make sure nobody goes down. Even though they're getting naded and shot across the map. They are looking very likely here.

01:44:04 This is the smallest that Exterminators have had to play since they took up so much space, and it's actually opening things up for teams on the low ground as well. TSM may be a duo, but the duo demands respect, and it's forced Exterminators to be looking straight at them instead of focusing on controlling teams like ZZ, like Kryvor, and like Hotdog Mafia, who are down on the low ground. Out goes some nades actually being tossed towards TSM.

01:44:27 We're in danger of just being naded out of this game entirely. Bubble will save their lives for at least a little while longer. But the mass exodus is coming. Hot Dog Mafia, Cryovor, and ZZ are all gonna have to leave this building.

01:44:43 Die all have to leave this building on the same pace as well. We're going to see Skittlecakes is looking to try and ult somewhere out right now. Nading underneath so that they can get over there. Maybe hold them out. But it comes down to how exterminated face is out. The TSM takes this opportunity to make a pay right now. As we say right now, TSM goes down one of them. TSM gets eliminated by Shubi. Now they have that spot. Will they get engaged by everybody else or will they be able to hold it off and potentially close out this game?

01:45:09 It's just like Game 2. Exterminators are fighting Hot Dog Mafia, and that leaves ZZ, if they want, to try and fight Krybor on the low ground. Exterminators hold on. They melt out for Lely so quickly that it seems like they're able to control more space than that. And ZZ trying to rap on this and get cheeky will be punished by Exterminators, who full send with the Maggy Ball, knocking Zero into zone and eliminating ZZ. It's Exterminators versus Krybor for the win. And Exterminators, they've still got the high ground.

01:45:39 Das könnte Kreibor, die Peacekeeper pumpen, die Peaks, sie sind perfekt! Kreibor nimmt den Wunsch! Kreibor mit einem guten Bubble in den Shotgun-Fight, das jeder ist immer zu tun mit dem Gibby. Ein wirklich tolles PK-Fight da. Aber ich würde sagen, kudos zu Exterminator für die Spots für das lange, wie es möglich ist. Sie opten zu Wipeout-Seizien, um sich zu machen, dass sie mehr Faiten-Points und Kills haben, weil, am Ende der Tag, wenn...

01:46:08 They just have to pick, and it's a 50-50, which team do I int, because I'm out of safety first or out of cover first. They would rather take it in their own hands and say, we'll just wipe them, get the extra points, and then try to take a 3v3. Didn't turn up in their favor, but Kryvor, really well played, coming in from the collapsing side, essentially, the congested side. Yeah, I really thought that Kryvor and ZZ were going to fight each other, but watching ZZ take the same rap changed everything, and Kryvor...

01:46:37 Great recognition of that, go, okay, well, if we don't have to fight on low ground, let's not. Let's walk up this hill, take as much space as we can, and ultimately find the win, a 20-point victory with 8kp Exterminators. We say this often, but living up to their name, 12kp is a lot, and they were clearing out the entire house.

01:46:57 Ich hoffe, dass alle auf dem Weg zu den POVs auf den FACEIT-WARCH sieht genauer was, weil es so viel action ist. Wenn ein Collapsing happens, und es gibt 5-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team

01:47:27 Und die Zip-Lining-up we saw, und die Zonespammer-er. Phänomenal Macro-Play into the fighting with them, und dann die WIPen noch mehr in die Haus. Es ist einfach so großartig. Es ist einfach so großartig. Und die Macro-Play von ZZ hat sie in den ersten Platz gelandet. 48 Punkte zu den 44 von 100 Thieves. Tiff, ZZ ist ziemlich in Ordnung, auch mit 100 Thieves.

01:47:54 Banger-first game. The consistency really is key here. It truly is, and honestly, we've been in for such a treat with all the action that we've gotten from Americas. Look, I'm a big reader, and I feel like SJM at this point couldn't even write a better story of what we're getting here. After the changes between the Falcons, ZZ emerging, and just seeing the way that this has played out, it has been truly fun to witness.

01:48:17 And cast alongside both of you. But of course, we have to dive more into our halftime segment to kind of keep breaking things down and keeping everyone up to date of what's been going on across the realm, across the region. So I'd love to go ahead and say what you might have missed. Guys, if you haven't been watching Apex South, first off, what are you doing? We sent Kim Chi down south to...

01:48:38 Das war's.

01:49:08 Und das ist ebenso, was, you know, things are starting to look pretty bleak. Wolves pop up on top of that rock, lay the hammer down, claim the win for themselves. And then we keep on moving forward into game number five, where I briefly mentioned Kim Chi. Well, JD Gaming on the high ground here. Things get a little interesting, which you don't really have a lot of options. You've already explained.

01:49:37 Das ist meine impression, wenn ich hier wäre, wäre es besser. Ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche, ich versuche. Nummer 5, Alcantia, Kimchi, Player K. Das Team ist schon ziemlich toll. Sie haben beide Nummer 5 in Game Day Nummer 8 und Game Day Nummer 9. So, playing mit den PKs und diese tight Wall Peaks leading die Charge.

01:50:06 They just did what they had to do. Now, coming into game number six of the day, we'll talk on that one later because basically SAUL did take that one home, but Wolves Esports, at the end of the day, 66 points, keep going right there at the top, 62, JD Gaming 59, but SAUL, despite winning that game number six, they were just outside the top five. But Dia, catch us up on match day number nine because I just jabbed a bit.

01:50:33 Well, match day number 9 honestly had the same amount of excitement as a little bit more of a rollercoaster at times. It started actually pretty calm, with Boogie Boarders finding a match 1 win. But in match 2, the boys picked up the torch and actually managed to do very well before ultimately dropping onto Team Mango to find a win.

01:50:55 In match number 3, we had QORGaming taking the win against Dreamfire after a very quick and very tense 1v1. But if you're wondering where Gen.G are, if you've looked at the leaderboards already and you're like, well, you've named three people that weren't Gen.G, how did Gen.G do well? Well, it was the second half that really belonged to Gen.G. They ended up, I think, yeah, they took the win against Dreamfire again, so Dreamfire getting cut short once more, winning match number 4.

01:51:23 And that ultimately set them up to win the overall day. As match 5, Gen.G might not have won, but Alcadzia closed the match with Cryse getting a nice win against Gen.G when he placed second place. Kreber headshot was very cool, very fun, and match number 6 ended with an SAUL win, which funnily enough...

01:51:43 was the same closing note as we had in matchday number 8. This time though, SAUL did manage to place a little bit higher overall third, with Deep Cross Gaming in second and Gen G in first. At the end of the split so far, at the end of the regular season, it's worth noting that Wolves have got some of the most kills and damage, even while placing this high in the reason it's Donut.

01:52:08 from Wolves, and then Asia from Gen.G, and then P-Dog from Alkazia, who are leading the region in damage right now. So players, teams to look out for as we approach international competition. I'm so ready for international competition as we look at the overall scores here from APAC South. Graceful, kind of give us your thoughts because we've got our 20 teams locked in for regional finals.

01:52:33 First and foremost, if not, everybody absolutely loved those clips and the difference between the movement there with the tap-tripping left and right. That intense 1v1. Both of them tap-tripping. One was trying to cover, one was tap-tripping shooting, and one. That type of gameplay is what we see in this region. Apex South delivering on that aspect. One thing I will say though for sure, if one of your favorite teams is in the top 20, you're smiling because you will see them once again in the finals. But if they're not in that bright...

01:53:01 I wouldn't even say bye. The golden nice number right there on the 20th and upwards. You're going to be a little bit sad to not see them as much anymore. However, it is not the last last chance because we're going to be moving. If you're not making it into the regional finals, you still have one last chance in LTEQ. Last chance qualifier for people that aren't too familiar with it. So I think that you can still share them on. That was just the reps. They still have one more chance to go. But if not, we'll have to see if they can make it to Sapporo.

01:53:28 Well, that's what you might have missed. And apparently it's a heck of a lot of action because we have just been having so much fun in all of our different regions. And Grace was over there hyping up the movement that we're going to witness on international land competition. So let's go ahead. Let's get you some more information on how you can snag tickets to ALGS Champs because it's coming back to Sapporo. We wanted to give you a bit of information on where you can lock down your tickets for the big event. They're going to be live next week on our ticketing partners website, Zyko on October 11th.

01:53:58 1 a.m. PT, 4 a.m. ET, and 5 p.m. JST. We love time zones, so make sure you go to Google, convert whatever you need to, to make sure that you are locked and ready to buy those tickets if you're going to be attending Japan. Of course, it's actually going to go live during the first regional final of Split 2 for that region. You can also find more information as that day nears on ALGS's website on the Year 5 Championships page. You can also see all the latest information about...

01:54:26 Outchamps, exciting updates, news, all the cool features. So just make sure you set your reminders, set your clocks, whatever you got to do to get that ticket. You don't want to be like me. You don't want to miss out on Japan. I had a ton of FOMO. I heard how cool it was. So if you have the means to do it, please go check it out. ALGS Lands are truly unique and spectacular. There's not a word to be able to describe that, but if maybe...

01:54:50 Japan's not in the cards for you. There's a cooler event close to home over here in the Americas. It's back. Red Bull Legends Inn is returning this December in Chicago, Illinois. Let's go ahead. Let's roll the video. Show you more about it.

01:55:21 Es ist Timmy's Legendary Lather. Das Soap, das bringt die Champions zu leben.

Ankündigung Red Bull Legends Apex Legends Duo Turnier

01:56:02

01:56:02 Red Bull Legends is returning this December 5th in Chicago, Illinois to the Godfrey Hotel, where 19 teams will compete live in an Apex Legends Duo Tournament for a 25k prize bowl. You think you and your duo have what it takes to compete against Apex Pros? Sign-ups are now open at Battlefy.com.

01:56:20 Red Bull Legends in to compete in the online qualifiers on October 25th and 26th where two duos will win the opportunity to compete live in person at the Godfrey Hotel Chicago. You must be 18 plus to register. More info can be found at redbull.com slash legends in. Take your chances guys. Hit the registration. I want to see those duos.

01:56:44 Duke it out, because I've already seen some timeline chatter about who's going to be playing in that event. And I've got to smile because it's going to be a good time. That recap looked amazing. I'm excited to see it return. And speaking of returning, I'm going to make a little return to casting. Diep, I'm going to let you have a break. You've been crushing it. You've been crushing it all day, but we're going to send you on to break. Go grab some water, grab some tea, whatever it is you need to regain. And I'm going to steal graceful as we look at.

01:57:08 E-District ist ein ton, tonne of action, tonne of fun, but now we actually see Crypto being banned and that's just something that people utilize so well on E-District because of the fact that there's so many choke pathways, there's so many

01:57:34 Oh, yes.

01:58:01 I'm going to go ahead and agree with you that for sure. But the Lotus, you've got Team Inferno that's actually locked that in through the POI draft. And the reason I'm saying that so steadfast is the fact that we had a circle that was so...

01:58:14 für eine Lotus-Rotation in EMEA. Und dann haben wir, dass ein Team auf der anderen Seite, ich fühle mich, hat einfach die Ease-Axis zu wo wir gehen. Will es sich um, und vielleicht pull Hardcore South zu Shipyard Arcade, Humbert Labs? Du wirst, du wirst. Du wirst. Du wirst. Du wirst. Du wirst. Du wirst. Du wirst.

01:58:35 Yeah, I mean, we've also seen Electrodam. All of these zones that we have seen, though, have been kind of tied to regions quite a lot. So I will have to see if we see a repeat. But definitely that one specific zone around the resort area in that water by that bridge is one that's very...

01:58:51 Frequently comes back and if that one comes back once again well then five stars gonna be more than happy and I like to say that we've seen quite a showcasing of sure the few major top three teams right now have been performing exceedingly well but we've seen these small glimpse of light from other teams as well having that opportunity to take these fights but when it comes to it when it comes down to that straight three to three bubble fights a few of these teams stand head and shoulders above others

01:59:17 Oh, I like where your head's at with that specifically. But before we jump into match number four, make sure you guys are all following us on social media.

01:59:24 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

01:59:54 Yeah, most definitely. And that's kind of the whole thing as well, which is so amazing to have several POVs.

Die Bedeutung verschiedener Perspektiven und Team-Dynamiken

02:00:19

02:00:19 You can't catch all the actions, even let's just take listen-ins. You can't listen to all the teams at the same time because they're all doing it at the exact same time. So you have to just pick and choose on what you can, but when you're watching the POVs from at home, you get to pick and choose on your own discretion. Which one do you want to see? Which one do you want to hear? And who do you want to see flame who? Because at one point we heard, shut up, I'm healing, let me be me. And then that's what we want to hear. We need a little bit of excitement into the comps.

02:00:46 Graceville, are you talking about me? Are you talking about me? You're always wondering where I'm at, because I'm never there in the fight, and I can't help it. They're shiny objects. I get caught behind, and those seconds really do matter. They really do, but for Kryvor, who won match number three with eight kills, looking pretty solid.

02:01:04 Honestly, we're manifesting here in the Americas. We talked about the Exterminators. We talked about Crybor. We mentioned ZZ and the Falcons and the dynamics between that coming into today. And they have all been very peculiar in our storylines. Yeah, most definitely. Another thing, though, that's very peculiar is City Hall ending.

02:01:23 We have seen this quite a couple of times. TSM is going to be very happy. Zone spammers are already moving in and reading the zone properly. So as these teams are moving in towards the zone, there's a lot of playable area here. So there's more than room, enough for everybody essentially to make a spot here. We'll have to see if teams end up fighting early because...

02:01:42 If they want to fight Center Zone, Early is the only time you can fight us. We see D-Gap and DSM actually contesting for the same house as Virtus.Pro. Lands in the choke right next to them. This could be coming out and we go down into a PK fight immediately with the bubble. Dupe right here on the roof with the bubble. Put me right into the action. This is why I love E-District. You love the playable space towards the end. But what if we actually don't have all teams making it there? Dupe just holding down the fort on the roof. Dodge and Skynades.

02:02:09 Panik, kind of keeping Tabs on them. I don't imagine the fight actually breaks out here. We're gonna just kind of hold this roof, right? Surely they don't send TSM.

02:02:22 Ich denke, es könnte TSM senden sie, ehrlich gesagt. Das ist die Sache ist, dass wenn du willst, jetzt ist die Zeit, bevor mehr Teams sind in die Potenzial 3P. Aber wenn sie nicht in den nächsten paar Sekunden kämpfen, ich würde sagen, 30 Sekunden bis zum absoluten Moment, sie wahrscheinlich nicht kämpfen, wenn sie jemanden aufgarten und jemanden kann, wie Crouchwag oder so. Aber als es sieht, jetzt sind sie einfach zu spielen, wir haben ein solches Spot. Wir sehen, wo es von hier ist.

02:02:52 We got Crypto banned after match number 3. Watson was picked 16 times with 80% pick rate. She will be the next to fall. And a ton of people picking up not only Watson, but Alter Mad Maggie. And Wraith is kind of that niche pick. I will let you guys know that Blinkster is still locked onto Wraith. Still looking for the kidnaps. And Panik, you said they weren't going to send him. Dupe down, Panik down, Jethat.

02:03:16 Glückwunsch, aber auf die Watssinn, wir werden ihn einfach nur auf die Watssinn sehen. MT war gerade auf der anderen Seite, zu versuchen, ihn zu versuchen. Und das Schild Disparity... Oh man, du besser starten Fenssinn. Wenn du ein Charakter hast, die Schild hat den Schild, es hilft dir ein wenig, aber nicht mit dem Spiel, als D-Gap war die erste Team zu machen, weil sie nicht wirklich wollen, wenn sie das Schild anwenden können. D-Gap finden das Spiel anwenden ist...

02:03:45 Es ist riesig für sie, weil sie jetzt, dass sie viele Flos haben, um mehr Platz zu geben, auf andere Teams zu geben, um mehr Kp weiter nach dem Weg zu werden.

02:03:59 TSM is out of here. And now they have to leave such a preferred spot in that circle to go hit the regain, find a crafter, get the teammates on back. And it's not going to be easy to do when you still have a ton of teams moving in from the southern side, like Nice Guy, Sentinels, and Leave No Witness breaking out the Sheilas. They've made their way nearby into a position they can play from, thanks to Rampart.

02:04:24 Ja, ich denke DIA ist sehr glücklich mit der huge amount des Displays von Ramport hier in der Amerika Region. Wo EU tend zu... Ich denke, sie wurden Alter bann quite early. Und ich glaube, ich sah Apex South hat Alter bann quite early, als wel. Well, nicht quite early, aber eher. Und als wir jetzt in Amerika sehen, die Leute opten zu bekommen, die Krypto banen ist. Und jetzt, Wadson ist jetzt gebann, bevor Alter. So, das ist eine interessante...

02:04:48 Das führt zu weniger Wraith, weil kein Wraith zu wählen ist, weil es keine Wraith zu wählen gibt. Das ist das, was viele Teams zu wählen. Aber diese Teams, Orin Esports speziell, optieren für die Wraithrider und auch die Maggi wählen. Oh, Orin Esports hier. 13th overall, 9 points.

02:05:08 Need to come up on the back half of this series, which, you know, it's not too late to make a play for the top of the leaderboard, considering how tight-knit the top couple teams are. It leaves a lot of room for everyone else to kind of move around and try to salvage some points on the overall day.

02:05:24 Yeah, I mean, it's not there yet, but it's getting there for sure. Because if you fumble this game, that means you need nuke of games for the last two games. You never want it to be to that point where your ass is against the wall and you're just waiting for it to, you know, you gotta make it happen or it's just over. Because I didn't really see, this is the hardest part. When you're watching several regions and you're trying to keep track of all these points as well, right? You need to make sure to see where do we have to place to make it through. And if you're one of...

02:05:53 So our storyline for the Last Dance qualifier is just pure a shot in the dark.

02:06:15 Das ist was es. Und ich sagte es früher in EMEA, dass ich nach meinen Jahren von Survivor gesehen habe, Shots in the Dark almost NEVER work out. Das ist das Wichtigste, aber für diejenigen, die ihre Tränen zu tun können, und es lohnt sich. Global Landstag ist wirklich gut für sie. Over den Falcons, doch. 7 Punkte auf den Tag, 15th Platz. Du bist ein Nucke für ein Spiel? Ja, wir haben ihn auch gesehen.

02:06:43 About mid-ish on the previous games as well in general, 7 points is nothing to be happy with. They're definitely not happy currently. And as we see the zone move more towards City Hall-ish rather than up towards the water...

02:06:56 These areas are becoming a lot more tougher to play because the southern end is actually super high ground, hovering the northern side. So when you get to that point, the collapsing that happens on the north side becomes even rougher when you have the deciding team on the southern side, where we saw D-Gap fight TSM earlier and Exterminator. It's also moved into the same building, I believe. So once that probably happens, it's just a free-for-all for the teams down below, whereas the teams above will be raining down hell on them.

02:07:25 Well, at least the teams that are making their way into the circle now, they may be late 100%. But you're playing for that next circle information, that next zone. So you can plan that course of action. The tough part about where it's going, yes, a ton of people can live in that area and coexist.

02:07:43 But not all 20 teams are going to make it towards that mid to late game. And for Durags, who just made sure they've got all three players, they're sitting triple blue, they've got to enter on down through the south side. But TSM, who wouldn't normally be here, are still lurking about solely because they had to hit a full team reset.

02:08:05 Ja, und das ist alles über die Timing als auch. Wenn du auch an den gleichen Platz hast, weil du auch an den anderen Teams bist, weil du auch ein Team ist, aber ein Team hat einen Reset. All of a sudden, sie werden von einem Team gehalten. Und es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um,

02:08:34 Until you put yourself in that scenario. So you want to avoid that at all costs. Make sure you scout properly. And don't just go in blindly. Because that's how it goes. You go in blindly. You get surprised by a team. You try to go back out. And there's a team holding you there as well. Well, nice little free cam of where you can see 100 Thieves holding down. They still have to kind of work their way in. But they're also controlling the Survey Beacon and the Ring Console. And by sitting out here, you're denying ease of access.

02:09:00 Ja, 100%. Don't get me wrong.

02:09:28 Nobody loves to get ratted on, but when you ratted on other people, you always laugh. It's kind of one of those scenarios where you just gotta be aware of it and then make sure it doesn't happen to you. But at some point, it happens to absolutely everybody. However, nothing really came out of it there. He only did a 90 spray, didn't actually put him down, so that's really good. Both the teams survived and are more than happy with it, especially the team that almost got ratted on.

02:09:50 If they pull a knock there, it's a different scenario. But for now, both teams are at a standstill until they have to rotate in. They can coexist for just a while longer. Elsewhere, FYR, enemy Crook Cersei. Make it a play for Kryvor.

02:10:09 Und als wir gehen, ich sage, wir machen ein Spiel, aber sie haben nur noch einen Spieler zu finden. Und es ist die Tl's, und er wird dann in den Tl's gehen. So, Enemy und Krook werden sicherlich auf die Klinge-Up-Kruhe. Wir haben die Voidnexus, um zu machen, wir können ein Reset gehen. Aber es ist... Gott, ich weiß nicht, wie lange die Dinge sind, nach den Changes sind. Wir gehen across Map.

02:10:30 Ja, es ist eigentlich crazy. Das ist ein super-free Reset für sie. Sie haben sich aus dem Spot aus, weil sie eigentlich wurden von einem anderen Team getrennt. Sie wurden 2, dann haben sie einen anderen Team getrennt. Sie haben sich gesagt, hey, wir haben... Ich bin nicht so sicher, ob sie die K.P. als auch, ich sah die Downs. Und sie sind froh, dass sie sich nicht so gut sind, weil das nächste Zone ist, wenn alles wirklich starte zu heißen. Also, FYI, Strays, sie haben 2 Kills, so... Wir haben... Oh, die Pool!

Strategische Positionierung und Team-Taktiken im späteren Spielverlauf

02:10:57

02:10:57 The pool, Durag's ratting right there kind of secured their back. Because I'm not sure if Orion Esports knows where that is yet. They're not getting any information on that next circle. So they're going to walk in for free at the top. My eyes are on where ZZ has positioned themselves.

02:11:15 Ja, wir haben auch 100 Thieves da. F.Y.R. auf der gleichen Seite. So, C.C. ist wirklich glücklich. Wenn der Fyber ist auf der Nr.E.-Side. So, er wird 3-P für ein bisschen mehr Kills. F.Y.R., however, mit der PK bei 100 Thieves. F.O.N. haben wir heute mit dem PK gesehen. Mit dem PK. Mit dem PK. Und dann geht's für den 3er. Und dann geht's für den 3er. Und dann geht's mit einem sehr hohen Punkt.

02:11:37 Maybe Phony's Wraith just hits different. Like, it is literally Final Form for 100 Thieves in the 11th hour, and I'm thoroughly enjoying what we're seeing. Can they reclaim that top spot after this game? We'll find out. But for now, they get to just do a bit of gatekeeping here on this side. Got Cry War and FYR Stray is out there, and right now they're taking each other out. Enemy finds a couple, but the Solo...

02:12:01 Es ist schwer, als du den Hitfire auf den Plutus ziehst, du hast ihn, du hast ihn, du hast ihn, du hast ihn, du hast ihn, aber du hast ihn vermutlich in den offen arms von 100 Thieves und da es ist. Verhulst, clean-up crew, du hast einen Broom und mit dem Sweep.

02:12:15 Ich meine, 100T ist schon sehr gut so far. Sie haben schon sehr gut zu spielen. Wir haben schon wieder die gleiche Seite von Zonen 1, Zonen 2. Wir machen, dass sie ihre Begründung auszunehmen. Wir machen, dass niemand hinter ihnen ist, dass sie einfach nur vorhanden sind. Es ist immer gut zu machen. Sure, sie könnten zonenwrapped werden, aber es ist sehr, sehr unlikely. Und mit der Weise, dass sie mehr Platz haben in fronte von ihnen, auch wenn sie zonen müssen, die Zonen enden auf absoluten High-Ground hier, wo niemand unten ist glücklich.

02:12:45 Everybody up top is gonna have to fight each other cuz up top is not that many playable areas to co-exist with each other.

02:12:53 There were way too many teams trying to get to where Hot Dog Mafia needs to move. Because TSM, they're the frontline of where that circle is currently at. And they even have to move up just a smidge further. So Hot Dog Mafia will be the first real point of contention. But then you have teams like the Falcons that are likely going to drop down here and then get sandwiched by Shopify Relium. If they don't swing on this, you've got to go in straight from the west where VP is. So the first fight we likely see break out was right there on your screen.

02:13:23 Just kidding, we're going to the east we're going to the east baby hundred thieves continuing on that dominance this time taken down or in esports or maybe maybe I'm not I'm not a future reader here graceful I Mean they're they're playing very calmly and

02:13:39 mit Patience, denn sie sind in kein Rutsch jetzt. Das ist nicht so close. Und sogar wenn sie es nicht so close ist, ist es auf der Seite. So sie haben viel Zeit, um sich zu machen. Und jetzt sind sie zu stecken. Und jetzt sind sie in der kleinen Trucker. Sie sind bereits Magikü-ing. Sie versuchen sie zu stecken, um sie zu stecken. Sie sind in der Trucker, um sie zu stecken. Und jetzt sind sie in der Trucker. Und jetzt sind sie in der Trucker.

02:14:02 Und das bedeutet, dass sie jetzt eine Playable Area haben. Aber CC, wie wir vorher gesehen haben, auf dem Nord-Westen, ist nicht zu lassen es für free. All das ist, dass Oren E-Sports fällt. Es machte Druck auf Durex, weil sie auf der South-Side sind. Sobald sie das Portal haben, da ist die Portal, die wir gerade gesehen haben. Und diesmal, die Riot drinnen.

02:14:27 They are hurting, eating resources away as we turn our sights to the other side. Fun FPS, Monsoon, Blinxer. Give us a kidnap, the people want more. This is the side I was talking about, that everybody's on low ground as absolute height has the zone. Now, they don't really have, this team has a spot, but the other team that we're walking is going to be in a tighter spot as they're now getting looked at by Oblivion with that bow.

02:14:55 There is a fence in that indoors as well, so they might co-exist, but if they decide to take a fight above them right now, there are two teams fighting as Oblivion TP is in to see if they can make something happen. I know that he's just sitting there like, oh, just waiting. Look at the fences. Like, this is a staple Watson fence. Fun.

02:15:14 Fireman, Fred, whatever you want to call yourself right now, man, that is exceptional. Unfortunately, we didn't net ourselves into a kidnap, but I will wait for the end. For now, 16 teams, and as I say that, ZZ will be the next to fall. Oh, Falcons already bubbled out, and there is a team above them as well. No bubble. Did they get a gem down to eat this potentially? They did.

02:15:33 Top Team doesn't seem to look down at them with this timing. However, once this GB ult ends, they might be looking to re-peak them. We'll have to see, because if they get down, they could get wiped immediately by the team next door. Speaking of next doors, VP already peaking them. New Bubble comes out, looking for the reset here. VP gets shot in the back, I believe, by Oblivion, as we saw earlier. Gets shredded, not enough to wipe the fight, but Team Falcons is playing on borrowed time right now.

02:15:56 Leave No Witness does fall, but this Jenny is allowing them to heal back on up with Shopify Rebellion holding the high ground. We only have one more nade in that hand to be able to invest that potentially to Shopify Rebellion or lob it over the fence line. So we'll check in with them later as 100 Thieves maintaining that high to low ground disparity. And since they've already burned that bubble just ahead of them, Jen is ready to open season, break the Jenny and immediately lob whatever damage they can.

02:16:25 Good side angle there from Grimberden. Doesn't get down quiet, but he puts out a lot of pressure as Verhoz takes down Albreleli as well across the map. They're just making sure that they're keeping their spot right now. I didn't see that he killed it earlier if CC went out, but 100 Thieves taking this spot. Oh, they did, yes. They took their spot from CC. Really good positioning right now. If they can hold this out, everybody on the south side of this zone are forced to fight, but not only south side, northwest side as well.

02:16:53 Oh, Waltzy. Backing on up. And now the Semtex is incoming. We're trying to dive in. But when you've just got Lou and Slayer keeping the pressure on you, the Falcons will not even make it into the top 10. D-gap with Ava dropping on down, trying to hit the ultimate Excel. Well, you've got all the chaos happening down below inside the stalls. Ava Last now alive. She tries to take the PK straight behind there. But Sentinels.

02:17:20 Das Killfeed ist ein aktuelles Receit, als es einfach fließt, mit Oblivion zu sein. Oblivion, VP zu sein, TSM zu sein, mit den Kills, D-Gap zu erinnern. All diese Teams, die wir jetzt mit der Zone befinden können, haben sich verabschiedet. Sentinels sind noch die Rage-Line, ich glaube, das Sloppe jetzt. One von ihnen geht's down. Will Hotdog Mafia, auf der Seite, hier ist es. Sie tun, als sie versuchen, die Rez zu disruptieren.

02:17:49 The rest does happen, but they do get a redown right there. Two downs, actually. They should be looking to collapse on them. But on the other side of things, Virtus.Pro was looking to make plays on 100 Thieves. Can't really make it happen because fighting up that staircase stairs is very hard. They're on eight kills. They're on eight kills. This is just a solid performance series for 100 Thieves today.

02:18:12 I don't know what they woke up and decided to do, but they are wreaking havoc on this lobby. And from the south, as a duo, Hot Dog Mafia gets booped by a rogue Maggie Ball, and we lose out on Alp. Now a solo shenanigan play from Rambo is well needed, but it looks like we can still hit the preserve here, as Phony has got the angle. Oh my god, we're gonna burn alive. There's only so much you can do. You got Shopify Rebellion, VP, everyone just pressuring you.

02:18:42 Ich meine, das ist schwer. Du hast zwei Drills und dann zwei Teams angeln dich. 100 Thiefs schreit aus. Das ist ein guter Platz für die Team zu halten. Aber sie machen sich sicher, dass sie das Team zu halten. Sie sehen, dass sie sich tatsächlich engagieren. Sie versuchen, etwas zu starten. Wenn sie etwas zu starten, dann kann sie etwas zu starten. Oder sie können das Team zu starten. Oder sie müssen das clean, bevor sie 3P haben. Phony setzt die TP, um sie zu machen. Die TP ist zu sehen. Die TP ist zu sehen. Die TP ist zu sehen. Die TP ist zu sehen.

02:19:09 Can we join in on this or is it too early? Is something happening? One down happens to Shopify Rebellion and they can't even get the reset I believe. Verholz picks up a knock on to Zainu.

02:19:19 But for now, it is the equivalent of a Spider-Man meme. As you see, 100 Thieves just says, we are taking it. We are going to clear out our left. They take down Shopify Rebellion and immediately turn their attention on to VP. But it's just too quick. Jen falls, Verhulz falls, and Phony, the last man standing, trying to make something happen. But when you're in a 1v3 situation and Slayer is circling, it's Virtus.pro who comes out on top.

02:19:44 Bernis Pro ist eigentlich in einem wirklich guten Platz da, denn es kommt an 100 Thiefs zu machen.

02:19:53 Ja, weil das Staircase ist, von den 100 Thiefen zu sagen, dass sie das Staircase aus den 100 Thiefen zu sagen, hey, wir nehmen diese Fight, wir nehmen sie und sie spielen für den 2nd. Weil, sicher, wir könnten den Armorswapen auf den Vp verwenden, aber wir sahen, was passiert. Der Triple Swing mit der PK wurde, wurde ein Schuss auf und die Bubble kam. Es ist wirklich nicht so viel zu tun. Aber kudos für Vp, die Vp kommen in vom Norden, und dann auf die Stairz zu den 3p. Ein guter Weg zu closeout.

02:20:22 Ja, ich denke, es war fertig und ich liebe, dass du es ausgesprochen hast. Du bist sofort im Moment, sie werden für einen zweiten Mal spielen. Sie rollen durch, aber VP's performance machte sie 9 Kills. 5,000 damage. Sie waren immer pressuriert. Jetzt sind sie ein Teil eines Teams, das wenn du denkst, wo Hotdog Mafia war, war das Team, das war die Team, die...

02:20:42 Diagonal from them where you had a hundred thieves position to their east and then you had Shopify rebellion Just towards the left and what a hundred thieves does they actually take the position away that hot dog Mafia had and then it kind of wrapped them around Right led to a huge amount of success because if they had moved on to Virtus Pro at that point in time They would have fallen around the time when hot dog Mafia with

02:21:04 Und Hotdog Mafia hat wahrscheinlich einen 3rd party gemacht, aber die Ergebnisse kamen, es war wert, right? Sie spielen für 2nd, es gibt sie den extra Kp, und sie eigentlich tie Virtus Pro, in terms of Points, Graceful. Und das ist die Sache, Sie wirklich nicht wollen es auf den anderen Teams zu lassen. Sie wollen sich sicher, dass, hey, wenn wir gehen, wir brauchen den extra Kp und den extra Placement, und das ist phänomenal. Sie beide tiehen für 1st Base Points in das Spiel. 21 Points ist großartig, als wir sehen, diese Teams, 100 Teams ist bereits auf 65.

02:21:32 But the other teams right there, the size of Virtus Pro as well, are moving up slowly but surely as Shopify Rebellion as well. 15th total. Now we're heading into the next game. It's getting tighter and tighter. It really is, but for 100 Thieves, they're just cementing themselves at the top of the leaderboard. Will they continue on with the consistent performance through our maps 5 and 6?

02:21:55 Guess we're just gonna have to wait to see. Go grab a drink, get some popcorn, whatever it is y'all need here in the Americas region or wherever you're watching from. We'll catch you guys after this break.

02:22:32 Ich habe einen Team auf dem Mord-Side. Ja, ich habe einen Mord-Side.

02:22:55 Help him! Help him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

02:23:29 You know, keeping the score for scrims, that's cool and all, but all that really matters is who does better at the lan- Oh my god. They just literally bounced me off and up. That made it? No way, bro. Oh my god, I just- I didn't mean to do that. Oh my god.

Analyse von Spielverläufen, Teamstrategien und Zonenverhalten

02:24:23

02:24:23 Wir sind jetzt hier in Matchday Nr. 8, wo wir jetzt gespielt haben, und wir werden jetzt in den E-Distarch gehen gehen. Aber bevor wir zu tun, ich möchte noch mal nach Game 4 sehen, weil, Graceful, ich mich und Tiff, in Game 4 gesehen habe. Und während ich war, ich wollte darüber reden, über das Final Circle ein bisschen mehr, weil es war ein wirklich cooles Ende-Zone, von der Perspektive, wie man sich eigentlich an der Win-Win betrachtet, besonders als Shopify-Rebellion hat 1-Knocked. 100 Thieves pushing this advantage.

02:24:51 Ich würde sagen, es kostet sie den Spiel. Und es ist einfach so. Ich meine, wir sprechen über Kostet der Spiel, aber wenn wir auf die POV schauen, sie kommen auf die Stärke, egal ob sie wollen oder nicht. Und wenn sie kommen auf die Stärke, sie kommen auf die Stärke, sie kommen auf die Stärke, sie kommen auf die Stärke. So sie kommen auf die Stärke, sie kommen auf die Stärke.

02:25:16 them just running into Shopify Bellion. When they're further away, it's very slim to none. So rather than just having an RNG bubble fight, if they lose to VP in that bubble fight, they would have less KP, less placement, and just overall not worth it. So I think it's the consistent play to do, and VP just managed to get the 3P, which is nice for them, but Shopify Rebellion, they got caught, and then that cost them the game. And 100 Thieves on the other side have certainly stayed consistent. Throughout the day, it's what's let them stay at the top of the leaderboard, and...

02:25:46 I mean, they have looked really, really good. They may not be just slamming, slamming, slamming games like they had in Game 1, but the amount of KP that they are collecting, the placement that they are collecting, is more than enough to keep 100 Thieves in a comfortable lead. Now, when we look at the games yet to come, VP of Just Won a Game, I want to note that off the back of that game, we've got Watson taken away. Alter, however, is still in the picture, and the fact that that's still true...

02:26:13 auf E-District ist wirklich, wirklich toll. Alter ist so stark. Wir sahen es auf Stormpoint. Wir sehen es in E-District mit der VP-Win. Und die Wahrheit ist, dass sie wahrscheinlich wird es bis zum Ende kommen. Ja, ich meine, es ist eine der Charaktere, die für... Ich würde sagen, es gibt einen Raum für mehr Fehler, weil du kannst...

02:26:36 Es gibt einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee und dann einen Teepee.

02:26:51 Nicht als high-risk, high-reward, sondern eher low-to-medium-risk, sondern wirklich high-reward, weil wenn es gratis ist, dann habt ihr Platz, habt ihr Base. Aber wenn es nicht gratis ist, dann wird Reset, wir versuchen wieder. Und das ist immer ein schönes Ding zu haben, in der Back-Sleeve zu haben.

02:27:12 I see so much Lotus priority, and I don't deny that Lotus is a good POI, and I'm sure there are kind of mid-POIs on eDistrict, but for the most part, we've talked about this being a very balanced map. Why is Lotus so popular? Why do so many people first pick Lotus if you're going eDistrict, as opposed to something, say, like DraftPoint or like City Hall?

02:27:33 Es ist ähnlich wie Elektrodam. Es gibt viel Loot da, wenn du gut rotatierst hast. Du hast die Axt zu Balloon, das macht es sogar schneller rotatierst für dich. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich nicht so viele Teams verabschieden habe, aber einige Teams auch preferentierst, welche Zones sind jetzt aktiv. Wenn du ein Team wählst, das sagt, hey, es gibt vier Zones aus der sechs, die sich normalerweise bei uns. Das macht es sogar mehr ein Pick, weil du hast die Zones in Elektrodam.

02:28:03 Ich würde sagen, es geht auch darum, dass es die Spielstilte zu sein, weil es ja, ich kann das Spielstilte erstellen, weil es, wie ich gesagt habe, es gibt so viel Spielstilte auf dem Spielstilte. Aber wenn man die Spielstilte hat, dann muss man das Spielstilte einfach sein. Aber wenn man das Spielstilte hat, dann muss man das Spielstilte einfach sein. Aber wenn man das Spielstilte hat, dann muss man das Spielstilte einfach sein. Aber wenn man das Spielstilte hat, dann muss man das Spielstilte einfach sein.

02:28:32 Oh, no. Oh, no.

02:29:00 Looks like we're going back here, Grace. We've seen a lot of City Hall in our day. We catch a lot of E-District. I'll be honest, I know this better than I know some people in my life. City Hall is where we're going.

02:29:13 I mean, this is kind of what I say with that. I know people have been doubting me, but I've been saying this for six years at this point. When there's active zones, and it changes by seasons and sometimes patch, they are active. That means highly frequency. And when we see city halls to city halls to resort to city halls to resort, well then at that point, something got a click and you're immediately looking for it. We see a couple of these teams immediately recognizing where the zone is.

02:29:40 Whether or not they actually have the beacon knowledge or not, they were just heading there immediately and saying, hey, we know where to go. Team Inferno looking to fight. Like we said earlier, when you fight in zone, you fight early and the fight is about to happen.

02:29:54 Seems to be benefiting Team Inferno right now. They've got a lot of zoning tools out there with the Mag Drill, with the Thermites. Virtus Pro completely undaunted in their own engagement up against Nice Guys. Have high ground and the first knock, even a full thirst. So a point going over to them as well as presumably the fight in all of this space. Because if you've lost one this early on, I wouldn't turn around as Nice Guys. I'd let this go.

02:30:20 This is also one of the things that VP does well, I think, where you have the momentum from winning a game. It definitely fuels a fire underneath you where you're like, hey, we just won the game. Let's close out this series now. And you can see that. They're just running at people. Well, not just running at people. They just immediately get that KP secured and now they're going to keep going with their plan. And when you have a game plan and you pre-plan properly, things are just looking good for you.

02:30:44 Shopify Rebellion dialing things up to 11 in this game, taking out Hotdog Mafia so quickly. Honestly, good for Shopify Rebellion. A team that I'd expected to be dominating based on their scrim performance this week has instead been pretty quiet, sitting at around 11 after the course of these four games. If they're going to pick up the pace by taking out teams, I do not mind it one bit, especially as we dive into our last two games of the day.

02:31:14 CC. Unsuccessfully tried to rat a team. Couldn't get the Don quiet just there. However. Armor upgraded for zero. Feeling kind of good about that. CC though. Making sure to say hey. Let's just.

02:31:26 Take a little bit chill till, get out of there for now. We'll take the fight later on, perhaps. But this is the biggest thing that a lot of experienced teams end up doing, is that you're looking for opportunities and you're taking these chances of something, like taking a little bit of a risk for a high reward where it could happen. But if you never take these shots, you just never, ever will have it. And sometimes when it all aligns, you have one of these banger games that we've seen some of these teams pull out today, where we've seen the points of the likes of 28, 29, and I think we saw 31 as well.

02:31:59 Some teams still on the hunt for that one magical game that can turn your entire day around. Magiball being thrown out. Just in a fight over these tunnels with Orin. Who, as of right now, aren't actually forced into this fight. It's not one of the situations where we have teams sitting in zone just hoping that they can take an engagement completely of their own free will in Virtus.pro.

02:32:25 Maybe taking Free Will away from others. ZZ get wiped out almost by Lew single-handedly. Those were three kills straight to Lew. Lew puts down ZZ as they immediately catch them. The thing is, they weren't really that strong. They had one blue armor, double white armor. When VP has double blue, essentially, well, you see also that Slayer has pretty much a purple.

02:32:48 Du fühlst dich mehr als confident. Und wenn du das gewonnen hast, dann bist du nicht sicher. Diese 4 KP's das early in die Spiel ist, obwohl sie jetzt geteignet sind, wird er und repräsentiert werden. Sie haben eine sehr hohe Leidenschaft von Stagged und vielleicht kommen in late mit der Zone. Und Virtus.Pro hat auch noch viel cooldowns. Even nachdem sie geteignet wurde von Orin im Moment. Sie nicht Expend Bubble. Sie nicht Expend Gibi Ultimate.

02:33:16 They played slow and just walked away from the fight. And that's enough. Oren do not chase this. They don't bite off more than they can chew. And it leaves these two teams sitting on the edge of zone. Much like Shopify Rebellion, literally on the opposite side of the map in the Northwest, who have just gotten the next ring scan at Resort. That is third ring information that Shopify Rebellion have. The only other teams that should have that are Hundred Thieves, Sentinels, and perhaps Kryvor.

02:33:45 Ja, machen wir sicher, um für die Late-Game zu sein. Sie vielleicht sogar noch einen auf dieser Route, vielleicht. Ich glaube nicht, so. Ich glaube, es wird wohl einfach gehen, einfach gehen und spielen. Aber...

02:33:57 Wenn wir die Teams spielen, es sind nur ein paar Teams auf Edge, wo alle anderen sind in der nächsten, nächsten Cirkel. Team Falcons, eine der Teams, wir haben gesagt, hat eine Glow-Up mit Guilden. Wir sahen, was? In den Top 5 Clips, wir sahen zwei auf Guilden. Wir haben gefragt, ob er noch mehr Clips kann, aber wir haben noch ein bisschen geholfen, nicht ihn, aber die Team haben, aber die Team haben, dass sie jetzt nur aufhören, um diese Spiel zu nehmen und das Spiel zu nehmen.

02:34:25 Perhaps Falcon's taking out Leave No Witnesses moments ago. Could be them clawing back a little bit of momentum. Sentinels seek some themselves, be it momentum, be it kills. Doesn't matter. Kryvor right in front of them will do. And with Sentinels and Kryvor sandwiched next to each other right now, there's no reason to believe that this fight won't happen. In fact, they're more or less stuck on this side of Zone together. There's no easy way to say this. Sentinels and Kryvor, they have to fight.

02:34:54 Ja, und die größte Sache ist, wenn Sentinels in die Schoke spielt, stattdessen werden, das heißt, Oblivion, oder Sentinels, und welche Seite sie enden picken könnte eine Potential-Full-3P. Ich bin nicht über...

02:35:13 Sentinels oder Oblivion 3Ping, I'm talking about Virtus Pro coming in from the southern side, about to hit more. They're actually hitting an evac right now, it looks like. Or TPing, even. Right now, they're just making sure to come in late, stacked as much as they can. And when they come in, depending on if somebody starts a fight on that southern side of the chokes, on either side, they could get even more KP than they already had, I believe, 4?

02:35:36 Ja, es ist wirklich gut für Sentinels so far. Ja, es war 4, es war 4, es war 4, given der letzte Engagement. Durag, nicht mit den gleichen Kp, aber trotzdem eine decent Position. Sie haben Nice-Guy-Güse gerade vor ihnen. Sie haben nicht die Lugzüge von der Batsch. Durag ist es umgekehrt, mit viel weniger Frischung. Und jetzt gegen Nice-Güse ist auf ein Timer.

02:36:03 If they want to take this engagement, they've got to do so before another team walks in right behind them. And with ETH taking a lot of damage so far, it doesn't seem like they'll have the luxury of pushing the envelope. This is one of those things that where you're fighting this late, there's always a reach for 3P. However, Melo gets double swung right there by I believe Sang and Cody immediately gets put down. And now we see here Sentinels already past that choke actually, fighting somebody else. No, just destroying.

02:36:29 Ich glaube, Spikes sind da. Und sie fühlen sich irgendwie komfy hier. Und wir haben einen Platz für Falcons. Das bedeutet, Kryvor hat eine einfache Rotate, als früher Kryvor war früher zu den Souten. Und Sentinels moving hat viel Platz für die Squad. Wir haben noch Teams, wie Falcons, die werden das Rotation von Kryvor verletzt. Die ganze Souten sind, Falcons zu halten, aber...

02:36:58 Das bedeutet nicht, dass sie nicht möglich werden können. Und sie werden nicht einfach ausfüllen, von der Bühne zu finden. BirtusPro wird versuchen, das ist von der Far-South-West. Nope, South-East. Das ist wie Cardinal Direktions funktioniert. Das ist von der Far-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-S

02:37:23 Hey man, if you don't see any solutions, you create the solutions. That alter queue is huge for them right now as they just make it through the walls. They have to remind themselves to heal, though. It should be fine for them with this medkit. Timing is pretty easily right there. Now have access to the next zone even as other teams are walking in from the same direction. Cryo East as well as Falcons and Centrals right next to them. All the other teams are opting more from the edge perspective. It's opting more for the northeast side.

02:37:51 Das ist wo Orin, FYR Strays, Durags, Exterminators werden alle kommen. 100 Thieves nicht geben, haben Jen Burton aus Energiebank zu finden Nox, während der Rest des Team sitzt in Energiebank, grabbing die Mythic Krayt, keeping die Augen auf die Rotation in 100 Thieves. Das ist ein Team, das ist sehr spätig, und viel ist wegen der Safety.

02:38:17 Ja, definitiv. Und jetzt kommt die Frage, ob wir durch die Choke gehen, wo...

02:38:32 There are potentially going to be several teams fighting for the same area. Do we want to go ahead of them and hold them out? Exterminators, however, is opting to fight for the bridge side here. As Digivibes is throwing out nades. Gets Bode. Wifi immediately gets with the PK shot as well. Comes down to Shubi. A lone member right there. Trying to play behind the truck. TPs out. All of them get out. Will they chase? There's no way, right? Exterminators somehow get things turned around on them.

02:38:58 Ich hoffe, Digivibes ist gut.

02:39:22 Schubi-Downs 2-0 für Folle und dann geht's Naughty wieder auf den Fett. Das ist eine große Spiel von Schubi. Sie sind nicht der Top-5-Leader-Board gehen, denn sie sind noch in diesem Spiel. Ich bin sicher, dass sie nicht die Banner von der letzten Person haben, aber das könnte sein, wenn sie lucky sind. Aber das Spiel als Duel für den Moment ist, ehrlich gesagt, besser als Wettbewerb.

02:39:44 Es wird sogar eine viel bessere Position, vielleicht sogar als FYR. Mit der Zone zu verlassen, Teams auf beide Seite, FYR, haben zu tun das gleiche, was wir vorhin schon erwähnt. Das werden sie versuchen mit der Altar zu tun. FYR, die 100 Thieves zu spoten. Rotatieren direkt an bei ihnen. This eastern side of the ring.

02:40:05 Real crowded, real impossible. FYR, make it even more impossible with a Maggie Ball. Jen Burton getting out through the wall with the altar. Still goes down. Half to guns, half to zone. Gets cleaned up as well. Full thirsted is Jen Burton. And 100 Thieves playing things out as a duo will go for an escape portal. We'll see how Phony ends up landing this. Will he find a safe space for the team to play? It'll have to be good enough. Zone spammers are gone. The rest of the team.

02:40:32 Unable to follow Hunter Thieves is they got cleaned up. Verhulst knocked, technically alive, but really reliant on Phony in this corner. They are in quite a dead center next zone, so that's a good positioning for now, but they couldn't clear out their backs properly. They actually lost...

02:40:49 Dan Burton, I believe, one on the way, walking in there, trying to hold them out. And they cost them dearly, because that's kind of the whole thing. When you have several teams on the same side, and they don't collapse, and one runs into you, that means the team that's in front of you is probably going to 3P and gatekeep you. Exactly what happened to them. Should be happy for now, though, being able to play it out as a duo, potentially, as long as nobody spots them. And speaking of duos, Exterminator, the other duo we talked about, after Shubi's great clutch right there, with actually the 1v3 and takes two.

02:41:18 All of them with him managed to stay alive and right now unnoticed as well. Exterminators and 100 Themes. They've got that much in common. Being a duo.

02:41:32 One of the most challenging things, especially with 15 squads left and so much ground to cover. A team like Durags coming from the north is going to have to rotate right next to the duo of Exterminators, maybe opening things up for Exterminators to find a few cheeky knocks on the way in. Like you said, nobody likes to get ratted, but if you're able to successfully rat, especially as a duo, there is no better feeling.

02:41:56 I think they're happy at this point to claw any type of points as they can, because the point is right now, placement, it's only top 15. This could go south real quick to where they can grab a couple more placement points, potentially, as long as they go unnoticed. But, as other teams are starting to rotate in as well, we'll have to see if they can maybe potentially 3P something from behind, as the fight against Durax just happened right there, but no trades on the other side, so will they take advantage of this, or will they keep running in behind them? A wall comes up from the duo.

02:42:25 Exterminators, trying to see if they can make something happen and get past them. Yeah, the Proactive Catwall is actually such a good idea. Keeps Exterminators relatively safe against D-Gap, who is clearly unharmed in the fight up against Durags. Unfortunately, Oren have taken notice. TSM and Oblivion both go down. We've still got Exterminators as a duo who are able to create a space and even outlash D-Gap.

02:42:52 Es ist die Katalist-Wall, die sie durchgebracht haben, von der Aggression von 5-Stars auf den Lowground. Wenn sie das Wipe auf dem Team für einen extra K.P. bevor sie getengaged haben, als ich sage, werden sie sofort verabschieden. Kripper eSport wird, aber es kommt an zu... Ja, oder eSport wird geteilt. Exterminator wird geteilt. Die Dua ist jetzt aus, einer von ihnen. Wir sehen, dass wir sehr gut Vp gewinnen, die letzte Spiel von.

02:43:19 is now looking to see if they can seal the deal. I'll be honest, Oren getting very thirsty for the duo ultimately cost them their lives. Nice guys are happy.

02:43:31 Ich bin froh, dass alle diese High-Ground sind, aber es ist eine wunderschöne Spiel, die in einem, ich würde sagen, sehr gut positionieren. Aber es kostet Orang ein wenig Platz, das sie vielleicht haben, oder zumindest mit Exterminatorn. Sentinels, all die hoch, und Falcons, die nicht in die Zonen sind, seit Ring 1, haben sie in dieser Geburt für nur die letzten 10-15 Minuten gehört.

02:43:57 Ich meine, es ist wirklich gut für sie als auch, weil KPs werden irgendwann kommen, als sie aus dem Haus kommen, aber du willst zu einem Punkt, wo du kannst, wo du mehr Platz hast, bevor das ist. Es gibt nur 8 Teams leften, in dieser Zone, wo es nicht wirklich viel KP leften zu nehmen. Und wenn du so weit weg bist, wenn du so weit weg bist, wo sie sich entscheiden, wo sie sich in den Top 3 oder Top 5 sind, dann musst du etwas machen.

02:44:24 These guys unfortunately can't make anything happen. They do go down to a combination of Falcons and I believe it's... Virtus Pro? Sentinels. 5-star, gonna rotate right behind them. Still hugging this wall for a little bit of safety are Sentinels. And Hunter Thieves, I will say, still ratting. Not as a duo, as a solo, but he's just phony left in this game.

02:44:50 But he's keeping the consistency alive. 400 Thieves. Yeah, they've been in a rough spot ever since they got caught in that choke, trying to survive Shopify Rebellion once again. Last game they weren't here, but they were in another position. Right now looking to close out this game with a couple Skynades. Also has the P2020 and had Sinus decide to go up this Q, see if he can make something happen, but immediately goes back down. I think they're happy with this for now, because they can opt to go up even later with their own altar. So maybe play a little bit slow?

02:45:20 Ja, spielen auf die Lowgrounds. Es ist nicht so, dass sie jemanden will, sie zu spüren. Top 6 für Phonie jetzt. Als Solo für 100 Thieves. Die Sentinels sind aber nicht in der kleinen Gazebo, die Phonie ist in.

02:45:38 Giving him a lot of safety since he essentially gets to use a whole nother team for cover. What Falcons do in this next zone close though is going to determine most of the game. They have high ground and the side of the building that they choose to drop down on given that they have no Gibby bubble, no safety, no reset potential.

02:45:55 Das ist die Seite, die wir sehen, die große Herausforderung haben. Die Kohlparto haben, sie haben Katalyspikes, Sparrowhull und Maggerill und Ball. Wenn du all das auf die Verteidigung von Absolut Highgramm hast, wo du siehst, werden die Leute verletzt werden.

02:46:14 Schopify Rebellion lose 1. With an Alter Portal, they do get back down to the low ground. So there's just a random Catalyst wall covering nothing, but nobody knows that. Nobody thinks Schopify Rebellion is fine? Oh, and they come back up, and the Catalyst wall goes down, and it's cooked for Schopify Rebellion. A couple of awkward plays.

Sentinels' Triumph und Falcons' Herausforderungen im späten Spiel

02:46:36

02:46:36 Do not, unfortunately, go their way. Shopify Rebellion go down. Nobody controls the empty space. And Valken still bide their time. From up on high ground, which side will they choose? Virtus.Pro in shambles on the low ground. Big damage being dealt by Waltzy with the Stinger Bolt. Still has two of them.

02:46:54 Aber es geht darum, die Falken, die auf den Katalist-Wall geschehen, die auf Virtus.PRO vor allem. Sie machen es clean, nur vielleicht 10 health, aber die Skynades starten zu ändern. HAL wird zurückgezogen. Das Katalist-Wall ist noch auf, lässt die Falken Reset.

02:47:11 Und Sentinels hat die G7. Die Falcons sind alle gehalten, bis Sentinels sie wegzunehmen.

02:47:28 Gotta say though, good player from Falcons, playing that house the entire game and then even scoring a couple of KPs, but Sentinels coming from outside the zone, playing kinda late actually, had to ease their way in through that choke, played down by the water essentially, that little slope there southeast of Falcons, and then made it work from playing underneath the building and around. Nice way to close out that game and even getting a couple of more KPs, but I'm not too sure how many they got exactly, but they're more than happy with that because we still have one more game to go.

02:47:57 Yes, Sentinels were playing this as a relatively aggressive game, but they weren't just straight up running teams down. They were playing a calculated one, sitting in the corner when they needed to, not getting overaggressive and holding too much space. And ultimately, that's what let them hit some really nice timing up against Falcons, because this whole Falcons Inferno VP side of the ring was, as we predicted, the place where Falcons drop.

02:48:21 Das ist wo die große Herausforderung ist. Und Sentinels sind die letzte Wunsch zu es. 6 Kills overall, plus die Wunschung ist wirklich gut. Für Falcons, wie gesagt, Sie können nicht Fault playing für 2nd. 11 Kills plus die 9 Placement Points ist es noch zu bringen mit einem Point Lead auf Sentinels.

02:48:39 Und das ist die Sache, die Konsistenz in Kills ist auch sehr wichtig. A lot of the time we talk about Placement, aber wir haben immer wieder gesehen, dass es ein Team gibt, aber nicht mehr Kp hat. Aber wenn man ein paar Kp hat, kann es viel kosten. Aber wenn man ein paar Kp hat, 11, 6 und 8 specifically, ist es sehr gut.

02:48:59 With Inferno picking up a decent amount of kills as well, 8 being really nice for them, leaves them with a 15 point game and ultimately will push them up to just under top 10. Team Inferno sit at 11th with that performance. I thought Alter might make it all the way through the day. She will not. Alter is banned going into game number 6, which will give us a totally different look at what Pro League in the Americas looks like for the final game of the day. 100 Thieves.

02:49:28 And ZZ still at the top of the leaderboard, but much like Alliance this morning, Hunter Thieves are looking untouchable.

02:49:35 Yeah, I mean, that's just how it goes, really, when you're that consistent. And they, by the way, even though they didn't have many kills right there, they placed really high up as a solo. They got caught in the choke, got out as a duo, as a solo, still put placement points on that board. If you can do that, and they have done it pretty much every single game, put points on the leaderboard, you're just bound to make it happen. And now, somebody needs to drop like a 20 bomb plus to catch up to them. We'll have to see if it's looking likely or not. I believe that we are looking currently at our champions.

02:50:03 It seems to be so. We'll find out who can challenge them and who can save themselves from relegation to the LCQ. A big thing to look at in game number six right after the break.

02:50:32 Of course you think that. You've got one bloody eye. Uh-oh. Just walk it off. Yeah, you'll be alright. Oh, guess not.

02:51:13 und wiederum.

02:52:32 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.

02:52:46 Yeah, I mean, that's just how tough it is. We'll be really happy. Like, some people will be really happy, some people will be really sad, but that's just how it goes. Let's go back a little bit, though, to the last final circle as we see Falcons, where they drop off the rooftop on top of the duo, I believe, on VP. No, Solo on the VP gets that elimination. I was really impressed to see this play here because you're fighting for KP and also in positioning, and then they're looking for more KP on top as the fight unfolds up top. But I would have liked to see somebody scout through the wall to see if they could have got an opening on Sentinel's presence.

02:53:16 Weil wenn es um den 3v3 geht, haben wir die hohe ground und wir haben damage. Reilly puts das R9 Spray zu work, bevor er fällt, und Sentinel nimmt das Spiel sehr, sehr convincing. Und ja, wenn du das type of gameplay hast, musst du sicher, ist das wirklich was wir wollen? Sie haben das K.P. und haben die bessere Placement, aber sind wir zu gewinnen, oder sind wir für bessere Placement und Kills? Und ich glaube, Falcons haben einen okay deal, sondern die Short Stick, aber definitiv nicht das Highest Reward possible.

Auswirkungen des Alter-Banns und strategische Anpassungen der Teams

02:53:45

02:53:45 Match 5 goes to Sentinels. A very nice win for Sentinels, who need every point possible. Now with Alter being banned, though, it's taking a lot of safety away from teams. And a lot of times, Graceful, when we see Alter taken away, we'll see squads pivot into things like the Wraith, sometimes the Ash for safety, but nothing feels quite as safe as an Alter who can portal through walls and take you back 250 meters.

02:54:12 Ja, definitiv. Ich denke, dass die Leute, wenn sie begonnen haben, und vor allem nach der Alter Buffs, als sie von 1 zu 2 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu 1 zu

02:54:35 Teleporting 5 million meters into the zone. There's really not much you can do. And even when you take it, when you have a Shubi on the other team 1v3 almost wiping you, I understand why people are less likely to take the TP after them. It's very scary to challenge really anyone, but especially Shubi, after a quick alterport. Taking a look one last time at where our teams will be landing our victors.

02:55:03 Und für unsere Winters, Sentinels

02:55:31 Perhaps the chance to double down and find themselves another win, and importantly, some safety. This is about not just making it to... Rather, not just making it to Japan, but qualifying to the Regional Finals. And Sentinels coming into today, we're 19th out of the 30 teams. You need to be at least 20th or better to make it to Regional Finals. So, given that they do not play tomorrow, Sentinels need every single point to secure their spot in Regional Finals, because tomorrow, they're praying.

02:56:02 Das ist der scariest Punkt, aber auch wenn du dein absolut best hast und du wirst für andere Teams zu sehen, wie es unfolds und es ist aus der Hand, ist es ein nerve-rackinger Scenario zu sein.

02:56:12 Es passiert online, es passiert especially on LANs in Gruppe Stages. However, one thing people should be happy about to see is the zone is going towards heights. We're no longer seeing the back-to-back city halls, so people that have been complaining about the zone can't complain in the same amount anymore because it's at least a different zone. Now the game will play out very differently, with heights having absolute heights for the teams that are on top of it, and which other team is absolute on heights except the one team that we have been looking for today.

02:56:41 100 Thieves already leading the charge, also have the beacon knowledge, also have the UV ready to go, and they're just chilling up there. 100 Thieves Exterminators leave no witness, and apparently do-rags all have the information on where this ring is going. Oren seem to as well. You say, by the way, Graceful, those who complain about Zone, as if it's not you who complains about Zone.

02:57:06 Okay, you say me, and I agree me. By the way, I have never forgotten my 30 out of 36 zones in Lava in Big Mod and goddamn North and South East. Okay, it was 30 out of 36 that Pro League spit. I'll tell you that, okay? We'll never forget it. However, I will love to say that a lot of these teams and all the fans at home, when they see a team that they love to watch and follow, when they struggle with a specific zone, and then there's the same...

02:57:36 Oh, oh, that movement was scuffed. It almost worked. It was almost beautiful for Exotic, but then he just landed on the opposite side of the Amped Wall and it was super over. TSM!

02:58:04 Sitting inside a Galleria right now. I want to avoid it being super over for them, as I think is a natural consequence to being on your last game of the day. They're playing it very safely, but on low ground in Galleria you unfortunately don't have a lot of control and you certainly don't have a lot of ways out. So instead, they will hunker down in these small cubicles and wait for their next opportunity to rotate. It's about safety for TSM now more than anything.

02:58:32 This is also one of the teams that we talked and touched a little bit upon earlier on in the segment where...

02:58:37 They are a team that is, they need to place fairly high, I believe, in the regional finals to make it through. For all of you theorycrafters at home, please correct me if I'm wrong. They have to be fairly up high, whether that be top 10, whether that be top 5, to make sure they can make something happen. However, making something happen right now, Falcons on the 8th, having a solid game last game is already looking fairly slow this game. Not done just yet, though. If one of them can get out and get this recent play...

02:59:04 Und hey, Nice Guys are one of the teams that needs to qualify into Regional Finals with a banger performance today. So the KP, very welcome, but when you think about teams like TSM, like Nice Guys that need to perform at extremely high levels to make it to Japan.

02:59:30 I'm looking at the way the Falcons are playing right now. They've landed 20th in two games. They're a recently formed superteam, yes, but it's the end of this split. We're going into regional finals in LCEQ. They don't need the points. They don't really need to do anything. Falcons, we know, are going to Japan, but are they going to Japan like this? I mean, wouldn't you agree that now is the time for them to have these mistakes so that they can work on them leading to Japan, in my opinion?

03:00:00 If they have any kinks and weaknesses, now is the time to work on them. Because you can't show up to this on LAN unless you want to get out of the group stage immediately or elimination rounds early. But they have the time and they have the reps in potentially to work upon this. It's not over. They're lucky to have that opportunity to already be set on the big stage. For other teams, however...

03:00:21 Not as lucky, and as you said, if they don't make, some of these teams, if they don't even make regional finals, that means they won't make it in on the points, they gotta make it through LCQ. And actually, on your screen right now, Leave No Witnesses are one of those teams, likely gonna be playing through LCQ, given that going into this game, the final one of the day, they are in 19th, and we're bottom 10 in the region to start the day. It is very likely that we see LNW.

03:00:49 When we head to the LCQ, but the Regional Finals is seeming a bit out of reach for them. We'll see if they can turn that around this game. I hope they can. But Apex Legends is a hard game and that's outside of the ALGS. Hard game, they gotta drop 50 kills.

Strategische Spielweisen und das Rennen um die Regional Finals

03:01:09

03:01:09 Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed for sure that something happened and the rupture happens and they get all of those kills. I don't know how it's gonna happen, but they gotta make miracles work for sure. However, on the flip side of things right here, Sony is pulling towards heights as we saw earlier. Sentinels feeling kind of comfortable as well, walking in. A lot of these teams are now starting to play, like, this is one of the things that always goes through my head when you play kind of high stakes games, especially when you know some teams are like,

03:01:39 Especially the teams that are out out and then you have the teams that like need to do absolute good. The teams that are just on the cusp of making it to regional finals start to play a lot slower because they know the teams that are completely out of reach are just gonna fight. Like they're just gonna run at people because they like I said they need to drop 50 kills. However, other teams tend to play a little bit slower and then you have the teams that just say hey our game plan is working and they just play the absolute same way like the likes of 100 Thieves. And this is what I mean when you have that focus and mentality of

03:02:08 The job is not over. They're probably secure on first for today, let's be honest, but they are not done yet. And that's the big mentality that you always have to have. The show must go on. It's not over until the fat lady stops singing. I think that's how it goes. It is. That's the perfect expression. And for FYR, it seems to be the philosophy. Another team that really does want every point.

03:02:36 As so many do. They took the advantage early against Team Inferno before getting things turned around on them. Now heading into Zone 2 to survive. With a full another squad. 5 Star hounding them. Looks like 5 Star are likely to clean up these kills. And then hopefully get out and reset in time. Given the fact that Dark did end up going down. A1 has got a little bit of extra information with the drill. Collects another kill.

03:03:04 Und Serial Cat tatsächlich muss das Reset finden, schneller als später. So, jetzt gehen wir zurück, denn A1s jetzt kann man den Rez wiederholen, und dann werden die Team wieder in der Arbeit gehen.

03:03:16 An unfortunate double trade there for Dark, is it Darkite or Darklight right there? He is, you know, they traded with that PK shot on both ends, almost like the Def Box win that we saw on both sides at the same time. However, that's just how it goes. I did like the fact that it capitalized on that fight happening, securing at least a little bit of extra KP potential, because that's what you have to do in this case of the game. When you're around this middle marker right now, Shopify Rebellion, 24 points, you need every single point matter to move up that leaderboard.

03:03:46 Shopify Rebellion wanting to get into form for the Regional Finals as well. Still another team that is realistically going to Japan, but...

03:03:58 ...is hoping to be in dominant form when that happens. They've certainly showcased it in scrims, but we have not seen it pay off in the same way during the matchdays in the ALGS. FYR starting to make their way in. Galleria right ahead of them. Galleria, where we've already seen so many teams be stopped. TSM, one of them. DGAP still there in the path of FYR.

03:04:23 Ich glaube, sie hat das Reset. Naked R9s und Naked Peters ist definitiv nicht der Jam. Aber Sie wissen, was nicht der Jam ist, dass sie absolut geholfen sind. Wenn sie zu kämpfen sind, dann gehen sie die langen. Und ich wirklich, wirklich glaube ich mit dem. Weil hier, sie sind nicht zu kämpfen. Vielleicht können sie ein bisschen extra Schrapp auf den Weg in machen, wenn sie einen TP machen können.

03:04:46 Actually, I like that. Yeah, I think you saw Shopify Rebellion ahead of them. Yeah. I just decided, you know what? We'll tank zone. Yeah. Yeah, nah. Yeah, nah. Yeah. I wouldn't either, guys. FYR. Given that they're taking this long reset and zone and that they showed that they were portaling, though, may still be able to avoid the attention of DGAP because there's a world where DGAP go, well, we saw them portaling away. Surely they don't follow us.

03:05:15 Oh, mein Gott.

03:05:34 Look at the zone. Do you think 100 Thieves is smiling right now? Because they're pretty much secured. And with the zone pull as well, it'll pull a little bit more upwards north most likely. But they're in a more than likely super good spot to close out. Eh, not close out this game, but make it their way into late game. Speaking of making it into late game, DGAP on 16th currently loses.

03:05:54 Two players, and it comes down to James Fearless, a man I've met many times in ranks. He's definitely not Fearless. Definitely not Fearless. I mean, sorry, because he runs at you when he sniffs out something. But now he has to lick his wounds and hope that he gets to reset, because if not, that's the end of the day for them.

03:06:16 Es ist eine Rolle von mir zu halten, zu spielen wie Phoney, und zu hoffen, für die Positionierung, denn wenn du jemanden verlierst, wenn du jemanden verlierst, gibt es nicht viele Leute in den Zonen, nicht viele Möbis, und da sind nicht viele Alters. Krypto, die nur für die Reaktion zu bieten. Hotdog Mafia, eine der Gruppe, die wir auf den Starten haben wollten, die wir auf den Starten haben, die vielleicht zwei Champs qualify.

03:06:45 With enough points. With just enough placement. Not winning regional finals. Not even winning the match day. Just making their way up the leaderboard. Slowly but surely. Are still going to be in a pressured spot. When it comes to this game. And every day. Of the ALGS here in the Americas.

03:07:05 Two guys are still down inside a building as one of them gets down from behind by the Peter. Not good for them. They actually managed to reset. I don't know if they managed to reset all three. They are down on the last guy trying to rest right now. It comes down to a 2v3 on the inside. But Sainu is really low. Getting shot from two angles. Zap gets down. It's down to a 2v2 right now. And Sainu is so low. Koifo goes up to 1 HP. And now all...

03:07:27 All of a sudden, it's tilted against Shopify Rebellion as they try to climb, but they get crossfired by different teams. And now, other teams are also looking to join in, potentially. But the full reset from Shubi and Naughty indoors. The Rotate got super punished by Shopify Rebellion there. No safety, and we're really seeing how the lack of Alter impacts these teams. Zynu, still a force to be reckoned with, but doesn't want to fool around with the possibility of a 1v2.

03:07:55 Gets away temporarily, but has to keep running as nades follow him even into the cubicle. He's running right into another squad as well. Feels a little bit rough, but it's got to happen to somebody. Hot Dog Mafia making it happen. A 2 TSM. Do lose Albert Lely, but Rambo pulls out the fists, almost finding the re-knock, but does not make it happen. Skittle Cakes heads for the hills.

03:08:21 Und Zone spammers kommen in 3rd party. This whole thing likely escorting TSM from the lobby as we speak. Dupe, the last one left alive. Sheila doesn't let him swing anywhere. And TSM go down. Well, Hot Dog Mafia, even with one person, do survive. Sentinels on the other side as well. Fighting Leave No Witness as they get eliminated. Looking really good. We talked about needing to have that one. Well, let's... Banger game, essentially.

03:08:47 Getting 4 KP this early on is really good now. It's Zone 4 closing in shortly, but there's 16 teams alive. You know how I said before when Falcons got a couple KP's that there's not that many KP's left? Right now, there's 39 potential kills for you if you're alive as a full team. I think they're more than happy to see that this game has potential of being huge for them if they can make it into the next zone through all this madness unfolding.

03:09:11 Und ehrlich gesagt, das ist ein guter Tag für Sentinels, period. Remember, das ist ein Team, das war in 19th am Anfang des Jahres. D-Gap, sorry. Aber mit Sentinels, um es zu 4.0 zu 4.0 zu jetzt, wenn sie auf 4.0 zu 5.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0 zu 1.0.

100 Thieves' Dominanz und die Kämpfe der Konkurrenz im finalen Spiel

03:09:37

03:09:37 But making it into Regional Finals is already a victory for the squad. Yeah, most definitely. You really want to add up on those extra lives, essentially, by joining the Regional Finals, giving you another potential to make it into Sapporo. And then if you don't, you still have the LCQ. As many chances as you can to make it to the big stage. However, above VP right now, huge live final, GB ult, everything is coming down. Magadrillz is coming out. Everybody is slowly seeing this zone closing.

03:10:06 But now everybody is slowly stabilizing. Eleven teams of Live Steel, Zone 5. Hotdog Mafia, Durags, and Exterminators have fallen. Well, Virtus.Pro set up on the low ground. Could be finding themselves another win if they're able to play out of the line of sight of everyone. The problem being that this zone continues to pull up even further north. And in the path of Virtus.Pro is ZZ. Up towards the north. It may just be a duo from ZZ.

03:10:34 Das macht es nicht so viel mehr komfortabel. Oh, VP sind gesendet. Das ist ein Duo, das sollte es sein. Aber die Zonespammeren, die auf den Weg in zu fallen. Sacred needs einen mehr Schott, macht es einen mehr. Kommt zu den 1v1 mit der Peacekeeper. Playing inside den Knockdown Shield. Kann er das? Ja, er kann. Aber 100 Thieves, sie sah das. Die Zonespammeren und Virtus. Mutuell Assured Destruction auf den Lowground. Und 100 Thieves, sie haben die Highground.

03:11:02 Ich denke, sie sind sehr glücklich und glücklich und glücklich und glücklich. Ich glaube, sie sind sehr glücklich und glücklich und glücklich. Ich glaube, sie sind ziemlich sicher. Wir werden sehen später.

03:11:16 ZZ haben eine Rez, es erscheint.

03:11:45 Wenn diese Zone closes, ZZ haben nichts, und Schafafi Rebellion haben sogar noch mehr, in 7th place. Nade findet Verholz, 2nd Nade knackt ihn ein bisschen. Aber 100 Thieves still bleiben auf diesem High Ground und bleiben es für ein bisschen länger. Critically graceful.

03:12:05 I mean, they're still in at the absolute height there. Nobody can actually challenge them because they can just crouch and LOS everybody, I believe. Yep, they can, right there. Looking to TP from the safe spot. Not too sure about that, but they should be more than fine to do this. Looking to get as many KP as they can. Immediately looking to 3P with this teleport as he gets the huge one. McPhoney's been on fire today. Is it the PK? Is it the R9? It doesn't really matter as he's still going for more. They're now looking...

03:12:31 Das ist die Nightbarung.

03:12:42 Für Sentinels, die auf einen Haltstreak sind, das ist Ihr Nightmare, dass 100 Thieves' dich, und du dich, einfach nur so schnell wie wir gesehen haben. 100 Thieves' jetzt wieder zu resetten, schnell schnell, denn sie haben Schildswappen, Loot-A-Plenty, und ZZ' dann wird's beendet werden, bei Oblivion, die wir Center-Zone sind. Es ist Oblivion, wieder!

03:13:08 Dead center of the ring with five star 100 thieves all vying for the win in game number six.

03:13:15 I believe Oblivion has the zone ending more towards them. They are actually in the next zone pretty much. But when it comes down to, once again, we're in the scenario where it's top three and one team is out of the cover first. Which team will they fight? I believe Oblivion is in the best location right now where they can just TP out really, really late to join their fray. But if there's enough cover for both teams outside, that could spell disaster right now. Because depending on how far they scout ahead, they might just get immediately crossfired. So taking a peek with this Krabber is probably...

03:13:44 Wiping 150 health off of A1s certainly helps Oblivion.

03:13:52 Oh no. Oh no.

03:14:21 Will Silvian von der inside make it out in time for this fight to make it a 3v3? Or will 100 Thieves trade? They're looking to reset right now. They don't want to wipe it so fast so that the other team can 3-pin.

03:14:31 100 Thieves play the outside of the wall opposite from Oblivion. They're still looking to control as much ground as possible as 5-Star need to dip into Zone. But it's 100 Thieves controlling the space, controlling even 5-Star as they finally take out 5-Star and turn their eyes towards Oblivion. Can the Kraber make a difference? Still playing inside the Wraith Portals. Oblivion try and retreat, but they are indoors with only one way out. And it is into the maw of 100 Thieves who take the victory away from them in game number 6.

03:15:01 Das war's für mich. Ich habe mich über die Zonung gehabt, aber ich habe den Präsenz von Phony all day long hier in den Amerikas Region gesehen, weil wir sehen ihn mit dem PK, mit dem R9 sehen wir ihn mit dem R9 sehen, was kann es sein?

03:15:22 Sie start the day with a fantastic game and TIFF

03:15:45 They end the day with a fantastic game. 100 Thieves, even with a few bumps in the middle, were still remarkably consistent and are looking like a team in top form as we head into regional finals. Yeah, this really excites me, considering it's a double matchday weekend for them. So if they're looking like this today, they kind of have those minor bumps, like you're saying, in the mid-rounds, but they carry on this momentum tomorrow. They're... I don't want to say they're one of the best teams coming out of NA, but they 100% are. They are going to be scary at LAN.

03:16:15 Ja, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, dass sie eine der besten Teams kommen in Nordamerika. Especially mit dem wir haben, mit Falcons und ZZ und der Faktion, dass sie immer noch alles in diesem Moment sind.

03:16:30 I'm comfortable saying 100 Thieves. Okay, yeah. They're going. They're all right. I mean, a nice 31-point game, sure. Nicely wrap up this series with a bow. Oblivion 2KP for 11 points. Five-star, though, a nice dose of sevens across the board to get themselves 14. But because we've seen so much success from a lot of our teams that have been winning, it really doesn't allow the rest of the lobby to even get things moving. So for the youth who look at 11th through 20th place and...

03:17:00 The standout for me graceful is FYR Straves.

03:17:27 Closing out fights fast before getting thirded is a lot harder than just getting a solid mid-speed late game positioning and then converting kills from there on. So a lot of this seems, like I said, as long as you're not too diehard into one playstyle, I would highly suggest looking into opening up your playbook a little bit more and strategize a little bit more. But CMX Result speaks for themselves. Crossing 100 points, 100 Thiefs have been something else today.

03:17:55 Well, as we look at the series results, almost bonus points coming the way, but not quite. 100 thieves in dominating fashion, similar to what we witnessed from Alliance over in the EMEA region just a few hours ago. Completely gapped the lobby. But that's what I'm talking about, right? ZZ, Virtuspro, they break 50, right? But then you kind of look through 11th through 20th.

03:18:17 You have one banger game. You can leapfrog across a ton of teams. But yeah, a couple teams still shaking some things out. But for Group A, that was your last match day performance ahead of regional finals, if you were able to lock it in. And of course, we're just going to have to wait and see if you did enough. If you weren't already definitely included.

03:18:39 We'll break that down later, because there's a ton of other things that need to be talked about, including our Sony Killzone in-game kill, or Sony in-zone kill leader. My brain just wrapping it all up. I'm flabbergasted with the results. That's why we just went full dyslexic on it, because Jen Burton, Phony, Verholst. This is disgusting. It's all 100 themes. It is. It is. It's the whole leaderboard.

03:19:04 Es ist sie, es ist sie. Es ist 100 Thieves. Wir machen eine andere Mesh. Es ist die 100 Thieves-Killzone.

03:19:13 Das ist, was es scheint. Ich meine, dass es keine Kompetition ist, ist eine gewisse Statement, zumindest heute. 100 Themes, von dem sehr begann. Jen Burton hat die meisten von seinen Kills in diesem Spiel gesagt. Ich will sagen, die resten der Team caught up während der resten der Spiels in diesem Matchday. Aber das war eine unglaubliche Leistung von ihnen. Und, wiederum, consistent, auch. Wir haben nicht gesehen...

03:19:40 wo 100 Thieves die in 15th und 20th waren. Instead, sie waren ein Team, die immer wieder in den Endgängen waren. Und das ist das, was mir wirklich gegräßig ist, was in der ersten Spiel, wo Phoni hatte es für so lange zu retten, er hat es ziemlich gut gemacht. Und sie hat killpoints auf dem Punkt, und es macht 100 Thieves einfach unstoppable, weil sie immer auf ... Ich meine, was der Average heute? Ich werde jetzt noch mal machen!

03:20:10 I mean, most definitely. I think 100 Thieves Zone in general have been putting themselves into these power spots. They keep, like, I think they obviously know the zones, like the back of their hands, essentially. But being able to pick out these spots to fight for, and then they always win those fights, and that's what converts them into late game, has been wonderful. All of these clips that we've seen so far has been top three, win, top two. And they just keep putting themselves out there, as we can see right here, with these kills as well. There's so many good, like...

03:20:40 Oh, this is the kill leader. Sorry, I thought this was the placement. Yeah, the kill leader from Gambert. And it's even more phenomenal when we went from the anchor section as well. He's been putting out so many kills there. What is this? It's chaos. It's what it is. It's well-playing anchor too. I mean, except for that random ultra game that happened in match 5. We won't talk about that one. I'm going to look at that later. I don't know exactly what happened. But everything else, he's playing anchor and he's playing it really, really well. Quick.

03:21:06 Just because I said that I was going to do it, they averaged about 17 points a game, a little bit over that, for those of you who are curious about what 100 of these achieved today. That is incredibly impressive, Dia. Thank you so much for the quick caster math. Sometimes it doesn't always go our way here on the broadcast. Anytime you do some quick math, next thing you know, you're spewing off numbers, and you're like, what does that even mean? Are you sure that's accurate? I trust my man, Dia, over there.

03:21:27 And I trust Jen Burton to grab all the kills. Record-breaking performance out of them as we look at 100 Thieves' overall performance on the day, netting themselves 103 total points. And, you know, I was really hoping we had the averages on here so I could fact-check you, Dia, but, you know, I'll let this one slide. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, production, for leaving that one off, just in case I made a mistake. Incredibly consistent performance. The fact that even in match three, they didn't fall out of top ten.

03:21:57 Das ist wirklich beeindruckend. Die Zero-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-Kills-K

03:22:24 Und dann haben wir die Last Chance Qualifier, wenn du nicht in die Position bist, um zu Japan zu gehen. Ich glaube, 100 Thieves sind. Sie können irgendwo hinlegen. Sie können irgendwo hinlegen. Sie können irgendwo hinlegen.

03:22:37 Und ich glaube, es war sehr gut in Game Nummer.

03:23:07 Ich glaube, es war Verhulst mit 8 Perspektives. So, let's go ahead, let's look at the overall standings from today's match day number 8 and see how it affected our overall standings as a whole. A couple of teams still looking to breach that points threshold to quote-unquote guarantee them locked in for regional finals. But if you're Team Liquid, you've still got a day of play, you're feeling pretty good.

03:23:32 Same with VP and Rocky Sports Graceful. Yeah, I mean, that's when you're feeling pretty good, but on the other side of things, when you're just praying for the best thing to happen and that other teams don't leapfrog you, essentially, is when it's really scary. I think a lot of these teams, though, are more than happy with today's results, as we saw. And yeah, the last day remains to see, the last series remains to be seen to see who actually makes that final lobby.

03:24:02 The thing I'd be most nervous about, Sentinels, TSM even, could be leapfrogged. I will say TSM and Hotdog Mafia do seem a little bit more certain in terms of who's getting locked for regional finals, but Sentinels, man, 49 points when basically everybody in the top four, or rather the bottom four, the top four, the bottom four.

03:24:27 Das ist wirklich interessant für sie, dass sie sich in Form von den Bottom 10 haben. Die Sentinels verlieren ihren Platz in der Region Finals, und sie spielen durch LCQ. Es ist ein sehr intensiv für sie für sie morgen. Das ist, was wird wirklich interessant für sie für sie, um es um, für morgen.

03:24:50 I'm trying to think back on some of the games, right? There were moments of brilliance, right? Where they were getting into those endgames, they were finding themselves in positions, but those brilliant moments were starting to flicker with some of those minimal mistakes, such as the positioning. And I'm thinking about the one on E-District in particular. It was game number four, where they were kind of just behind the rock race, but you and I were there. And you have 100 Thieves that's constantly over to the right-hand side, putting that pressure on them. Now, things like that make it really difficult to cross into an open, grab some even more kills, grab more...

03:25:19 Placement Points to boost these stats. But this overall head-to-head, walk us through it.

03:25:26 Ich meine, wir haben diese zwei Team heute gesehen, weil sie auf der Kuspe sind. Aber wenn man die overallen Stats sieht, ist es wirklich schwer zu matchen. Denn die Meta ist jetzt schon viel Shotgun-Action und Bubble-Fighting. Die Damage kann sehr schnell werden, besonders mit Peter und Scout. Ich glaube, wir haben auch einen Spiel gesehen, die Falcons und jemand anderen in einem Team in 7k und einem Team in 2k.

03:25:52 Yes, one team shot way more because they were dead center zone, but that doesn't really equal to performance, because if one team only has a few couple of thousands of damage, but that means you triple swung and insta-kill the team, in my eyes, that's better than having 5k extra damage as just raw poke, even though that does mean better armors, etc. However, I think that the performance from this team that we were looking for today have been very hot and cold. I wouldn't even say hot at this point. It's like very cold and...

03:26:22 Ja, es ist ja 20, 15, 10, aber die 4-4 zeigt, besonders, ich glaube, die 4-4 auf 3-Stormpoint war das erste, wo wir sahen, oder was es eben das zweite? Nein, das erste. Wo wir sahen die Macro-Play aus Launchpad, das war wirklich gut. Wir hörten, wir hörten, wir sahen die Coms, und die wie sie planned es sind. Wir werden hier mit dem Evac landen, wir werden durch die Wallen, und dann haben wir den Weg in, fast alle durch die Ende.

03:26:51 Und auf paper, das ist ein sehr gefährliches Team. Let uns nicht vergessen...

03:27:10 Skittle Cakes, on land, as a Caustic. Double Armor Swap, probably one of my highlighted moments of all time. So, you throw in Rambo, who's got the solo crazy plays, and you bring in Al, who's very storied in his own right. We'll keep tabs on them, as they still are on the cusp, but TSM, Dia. Yeah, TSM, despite their first match actually looking pretty good.

03:27:33 Die TSM-Squad war ein wenig, aber es war nicht so weit. Ich glaube, das ist ein Fyre-Power-Issue, denn die TSM-Squad ist einfach nur für Fyre-Power-Ist. Ich glaube, das ist ein Spielplan-Ist. Die TSM-Squad müssen auf ihre Macro ein bisschen mehr arbeiten, um sie zu sein, um sie zu sein, um sie zu machen, um sie zu sein, um sie zu sein, um sie zu sein, um sie zu sein.

03:27:59 But you want to have them in an advantaged position before, because as a general rule in Apex Legends, taking a fair fight is just not worth your time. Love that. Love that highlight out of you. Regardless, it's been an interesting journey following not only Hot Dog Mafia and TSM throughout our match day, and I can't wait to see what the rest has in store for them as we lead up to the regional finals. Almost all of our spots are spoken for, and things are starting to get mixy here as we near the end of the regular split.

03:28:27 Now, I'm excited. I know you guys have been watching a lot of 100 Thieves, those of you at home, across the world, across the different regions, and you probably want to hear from them. Am I right? If not, it's a rhetorical question and I'm going to answer it myself because we do have Phony standing by who's going to join us here on the broadcast. Look, Phony, huge day for you and the team. Congrats on the performance. Thank you. Thank you. It was an honor playing against most of the competitors in this.

03:28:56 Day, I guess. Keyword, most. Second one, I guess. I'll let that one slide. You opened the day with that explosive game one where Jen got like 13 kills on Caustic. So talk us through what was just clicking for you guys today because it was really fun to watch. Well, we mostly prioritize a lot of like space control in most of our games.

03:29:20 Und wir wussten schnell, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir hatten, was wir

03:29:42 Now, I wanted to know, because I've been watching you IGL, I've been watching you play for a while, Phony. And because you are an IGL at this point in your career, you're also one of the more aggressive IGLs. Like, I see a lot of highlights out of you.

03:30:00 Especially on socials, off of scrims, even off of matchdays individually. And I'm wondering from your perspective, what makes you feel as an IGL that you can take more risks with your life in the game? Especially in this iteration of the 100 Thieves roster, what is enabling an IGL who maybe likes to get a little bit more aggressive or who has the high mechanical potential like yourself look like?

03:30:26 Well, to be fair, this game, I love it so much. It's like my favorite game of all time. I already risked so much outside of the game with my own health for this game. I might as well try to put everything on the table when I'm inside of the game. So, you know, just grinding as hard as I can, providing as much as I can for my own teammates so I could perform better in Sapporo for, you know, all the support they gave me. I need to actually, you know, play better considering all the health problems that I had in the previous two lands.

03:30:55 Yeah, I mean, we've definitely seen the success from you as well, and even though we even had almost a villain period of your career as well, now we're going more into the humble part, which I do enjoy as well. But a little bit of spice is always good. Happy to see that you guys chose, I said it as well during the casting, you guys chose really good fights today for the power spots or god spots, as you said, and consistently did it over and over again. So now that you know you have that kind of unlocked, and especially in this group that you just fought...

03:31:22 Preparing for Regional Finals, is there anything you feel we could have done better today?

03:31:29 Um, I mean, the best thing we could have done today is looking at the killfeed, like the game where we dropped like only two points and we were like 10th place. We didn't realize that Exterminators were the only team in that building. If we realized that faster, then we would have been able to fight for that spot earlier and clear that spot and potentially win the game. So, you know, it's just, there's going to be those games where you have like an off game and you like get like a zero point, but we just need to be all focused up in the game and not get too comfortable.

03:31:57 mit wie weit we may haben.

03:32:00 Oh, I like it. That's a good question, Graceful. Honestly, Phony, he kind of ripped mine and we were on the same wavelength. So I think I might throw you a fun question before we send you off to go celebrate your awesome day. The last time I was on LAN, you were grinding out watching Prison Break. What is the routine coming into a match day? Like what shows are we grinding? Anything good? Yeah, grinding some One Piece for sure. Today I was watching AOT.

03:32:28 Before the scrim sets. I've read AOT, I've never watched it. So watching it, it's really good. It actually was, it was actually more than I thought it would be. But other than that, just eating a good breakfast, drinking a lot of water, like a lot. And I was my first time having coffee before game day. And I feel like it worked well. So I might have to drink coffee more.

03:32:52 Noted. Look, I heard sometimes that soda can be like the sleeper pick to get you absolutely ready for it. Have some caffeine in it. That's a lot of sugar. Yeah, for you, it's coffee. But all right, we love the insights chat. There you go. A cup of coffee before your ALGS days, and next thing you know, you're going to be cracked like Phony, or at least you can try. But Phony, seriously, thank you so much for joining us here on the desk. Go celebrate. We'll run it back tomorrow. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you.

03:33:19 We learned so much. Look, I'm telling you, I get so excited to hear what our players are up to before match days, how they prep, because there's a lot that really goes into it, especially from the interview. And Grace, well, I want you specifically to take this because he talks about kind of sacrificing his health and how he wants to give it his all and to channel, you know, my inner Demon Slayer. It's like set your heart ablaze. That's essentially what he's embodying right here. I mean, I think anybody, you have to consider yourself. I think a lot of people,

03:33:47 Wenn wir hier an eSports, besonders die Leute nicht in der competitiven Szene sehen, sie sehen es als wenn sie ein Spiel spielen. Aber wenn wir also sehen es von einem Welt-Perspektiven, das Phoney ist, besonders einer der Welt-Best-Player in Apex Legends ist, wenn ihr an dieser Level ...

03:34:04 Degree of, when you're this good at any craft in the world, you have to sacrifice something to obtain it. It's very rarely given to you just for free, and it's something everybody puts in blood, sweat, and tears that people don't really see. Because even then, at the end of the day, like I still remember when I played as well, when you're streaming the scrims, and maybe you're streaming the ranked sessions, but you're not streaming the VOD review. You're not streaming the nights that you can't sleep because you had one bad performance, and you're staying up VOD reviewing extra on your own. You're not...

03:34:33 Maybe you're skipping something to put more time into that, you know, when R5 became popular. There's so many times where you're cutting corners to make it even better for the game. But as he said as well, he realized himself that I'm taking care of my health, I'm focusing on me. Whether that be catching a series, whether that be eating a better breakfast, having a little bit of coffee before something new, or like the most people should be doing throughout their entire life, work out to a certain degree, will help you with the quality of life.

03:35:02 Ich denke, Sie können die beiden kombinieren, aber es ist auch ein sehr hartes Ding zu tun, weil wenn Sie das ingrained sind, wenn Sie das ingrained sind, es ist wirklich schwer zu sagen, ich werde nur für X amount of hours spielen, weil Sie immer fühlen können, dass Sie in mehr Stunden können. Aber hier geht es, dass er ein World-Class-Player ist, weil er seine guten Resultaten ist und er ist auch...

03:35:23 giving himself a little bit of time to himself, which helps him, it seems. And I'm happy for him because we want him to stay healthy and have longevity, not only in this game, but maybe in the future if he were to participate in another game in a career.

03:35:36 Yeah, exactly. And honestly, we all have the same 24 hours in the day. So it's really difficult to be able to manage that and be able to put as many hours, like you were saying, in the different aspects. And that doesn't even include your family, your friends. Having that life outside of the game to not only work out, but stay mentally healthy and fit to continue on and be the best that you can be. So thank you so much for providing that extra insight. But Dia, I'm going to kick it over to you. I want to hear the final thoughts on the overall day because, man, it was a good one.

03:36:04 It really was. Again, like I said, Game 1 broke records, Game 2 broke my brain. It was an extremely fun day of Apex Legends. And now I'm wondering, especially with all the stakes that we've got going into tomorrow as to who makes regional finals and not, what the teams will look like as they approach their final form. Graceful actually made a really nice allusion to what these teams may be looking like now if they're expecting to go to Japan and how they'll continue to adapt.

03:36:33 Ich hoffe, dass wir das sehen, wenn wir in der Region Finals gehen, die ist ein bisschen, oder ein bisschen, Match Point practice, dass ihr able zu bekommen, bevor Match Point ist alles, was jemand denkt, wenn wir die Championships kommen. So, als wir in das leaden, ich würde wiederholen, als Sie guys waren, ECHOING...

03:36:54 All of our competitors, take care of yourselves. You at home, take care of yourselves. It is going to be an incredibly stressful couple of days of Apex Legends as we decide who's going to Japan, who is not. Look after yourselves, drink lots of water.

03:37:08 Make sure that you go support all of your favorite players, and not only that, but our favorite casters. They're crushing it here, guys. I had a blast with you today, but I want you guys to also go get some rest. So thanks for the insight, and we'll see you guys on the next one. I've got a couple things here that we've got to wrap up because you said something that made my brain very excited, and that's ALGS Champs over in Japan. We've been talking about how you can specifically grab your tickets and more of that information. So make sure you get your tickets locked down for the...

03:37:37 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

03:38:06 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

03:38:15 You know what's up next, guys. Because it's a doubleheader match day. We got match day number nine coming to you. Same time tomorrow, but we'll be kicking things off with the EMEA region as a start. Match day number nine. You can see the times right there. 6 p.m. BST, 1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT. Look, I'm telling you guys, sometimes these time changes are very difficult for me. So I love the people when they got it in Discord and auto-defaults to my time.

03:38:40 It's how you keep me in check. Set your reminders, though, on your phone in your respective time zone and see us here on the ALGS broadcast. Or maybe just check it out, face it, watch both the map stream, follow all of the things. And if that's not what you prefer, here's the deal. We have some fun social media content that is all behind the scenes, especially on TikTok and Instagram. Lovely all the short content. That's my favorite stuff of the players behind the scenes. It lands. You can find that app.

03:39:07 Play Apex Esports. Make sure you go check it out. Some of the content that you'll miss are funny clips, especially from NiceWig and Greek who do watch parties.

03:39:16 The players doing reaction contests. You really never know what you're going to get, but I love that Play Apex is getting more ingrained in that style of content. And of course, they still are on all the other platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, X, constantly keeping us up to speed on what's happening on any given ALGS match day. So make sure you check it on out. But regardless, that's it for us here in the Americas for match day number eight of the ALGS. And honestly, once again, big massive congratulations.

03:39:46 zu 100 Thiefs für eine dominante Leistung. Und alle, die sich auf die Bar auf den Matchday Nr. 9 sehen Sie morgen.
