Einleitung und Überblick über den ALGS Americas Match Day 9

00:06:02

00:06:02 Yes, my friends, it's time for the Americas to take the stage and show us who will be playing in next week's Regional Finals. One day to go to prove that you deserve to be in the top 20 and to earn that spot because, of course, it will not be given. All of these teams here in B versus C battling it out one last time to stake their claim that they should have a chance to be our Regional Champion and potentially

00:06:29 All of that underway in just a moment, but let me welcome you first to the show. My name is Randy. I'll be your host, and I am not alone. That's a beautiful statement, both in my personal life, but really just on the broadcast speaking is what I'm talking about right now, because I got two great friends and casters to join me for today's action. We did EMEA earlier. Now it's time for Americas and Vicky Kinney. That just means more good ALGS.

00:06:58 Coming to your screens. You're telling me we got some more good Apex. You know, that's what I'm here for. I could watch this all day long. But what makes me sit at the edge of my seat, Rain Day, is seeing the squads that are in the bubble right now who are at risk of even relegation here. So there's a lot of action to unpack.

00:07:15 You could look at the top spots. You could look at the bottom spots. Jamerson, there's a story throughout any of these teams competing. And it's one that's kind of culminating here for some, as it will be a sad day for those who do not make it and get a chance to play next week. But it will also potentially be a very triumphant day for those who kind of squeeze through and give themselves another chance at victory. Yeah, I mean, like you guys mentioned, like having the bubble there is one thing, but we have like bubbles on top of bubbles, right? Because we have relegation and then we have.

00:07:42 Regional Finals, and then we have, of course, the Mid-Season Playoffs. So a lot to play for, a lot at stake. The majority of our squads have to be on top of their game to have any meaningful gains here that actually impact their lives in large ways. So this is a very important final match day for so many of these squads.

00:08:02 Some of these teams coming back into a doubleheader for this weekend. If you've been watching, of course, it's a doubleheader. We've had three weekends like that in a row since the Open to get us to our final match day of our regional finals coming up next week. But let's take a look back at what happened yesterday in match day eight for North America. The beauty of having so many games in a row is that you do get to find yourself warming up.

00:08:26 Hier und da. Und vielleicht stehen warm, wenn du performierst. Earlier auf, es wäre Twisted Minds. Shout-out Krook, der wird uns ein bisschen später sein. So, ich weiß, was Chat sagt. Get your questions ready for Krook, als er wird nicht nur über das Game 1-Win, der Performance in den Open, aber was er sieht in heute's Matches. Next up, wir sehen Rock Esports. Wir starten singen ein bisschen. Rock Steady, Vaxelon Deed, Saucer, certainly proving that they can continue to be effective as a Trio.

00:08:55 Ich liebe es sehen, dass das squad zusammengefasst. Match 3, es ist ein familiarer Name, nicht ein familiarer Roster. Duplex, Panic Apex und Gentrifying auf den neuen und Revitalized TSM. Taking game number 3, putting Team Liquid Alienware in the dust. Und dann K.O.Y. Ich meine, ihr wisst, ihr wisst, ihr wisst. Korinthians versucht zu kommen hier, aber Ben einfach nicht.

00:09:20 Und jetzt haben wir den Angle, um das Momentum zu halten. Wir sehen Fusion. Movie Star Koi kommt in jetzt wieder. Und Iwope wird jetzt alleine in der Circle, bei ihm selbst und geteilt. Big win für Movie Star. Team Liquid, sie werden zurückkehren. Und natürlich ist es die Team, der ist Deadly. Janya, mit seinen Kindern aus dem Stint.

00:09:43 The gods of NRG. And now you can see it's Liquid who have found a little bit of momentum. Can they keep it up? And the double, the deuce from TSM. You can tell these guys, a lot of maturity stepping into this role. Not an easy banner to hold in terms of what it means for Apex Legends, but they're doing a great job so far. Earned them a second place overall in the day of both Falcons.

00:10:08 Und Liquid Alienware also, like I said, bounced back, bounced back big. You know, even if they're not getting first places, they're getting a ton of KP. And that's exactly what happened. As we look at the overall standings, Vicky, it is still Falcons in first place. But remember, Shopify Rebellion, just nine points behind them. And they've got a game in hand. They're playing today.

00:10:28 Absolutely. And through the Open, 200 teams have already solidified their positioning into the midseason playoffs. So, you know, they're not as stressed out here too, but you do have to also wonder where their positioning is in the rest of these teams. Top 20 teams are the squads that will be able to move on into that final regional finals right there. So TSM being right there with 85 points, feeling a little comfy, but then I'm looking at those bubble teams, which as Jamerson already pointed out, bubbles on bubbles for the squads that feel like they are at risk.

00:10:54 A lot of love here for everyone who is helping us out in the community. Keep an eye on this close race to top 20 and not just that, top 16 for Americas, especially Xander Commander who helped put this together so we can get that magic number. And that number right now seems to be about 65, Jamerson. A lot of teams in the mix on that one. A big day today for many of the squads playing. We'll give them a chance to cross over that threshold.

00:11:19 And importantly, also advancing to Regional Finals. See, it's a little bit lower there. It's going to be down at 50 points some odd, give or take. And taking a look at our teams on the bubble, I mean, you got Citadel, LG, all sitting around 40 points. So they need, they don't need a standout day. They just need to survive. They need to make it into like the top five and then they'll be fine.

00:11:41 Again, there are so many teams that are chasing that 20th place spot to try and get into the regional finals to have another shot at the midseason playoffs. So again, stakes on stakes. This is looking like it's a smorgasbord for any Carnivore out there. And you're kind of also saying, listen, if I love Team Orchid, they're 43, number 65. It's not exact science, but that just gives you an idea. They need to get second or maybe third place is enough.

00:12:06 ...to get them into that range from where they are for 21 points in order to be involved. And look at this. Third may not be enough. That would put them at 61, I believe. It would put them at 64 or 60, maybe 65, 66 if they were able to get second place. That's where they want to land. If you can see the regular season.

00:12:25 First Place always adds 25 points to their total. But coming up in the Regional Finals, it's even bigger. So getting into that top 20, maybe you eek in like your Team Orchid. You have a great day. Now you're sitting in maybe 20th place or something like that, trying to find your way. Well, that means if you continue to perform in Regional Finals, you'll actually be able to earn more points.

00:12:45 for your good placements. Yes, first place will qualify to EWC, but all of the other point totals have been extended and added to more gravitas to them so that they are weighted more due to the fact that this is the first time that we've actually seen a lobby filled with the top 20 teams in either EMEA or North America. It's going to be a fun weekend next weekend for sure as we kind of take a look now.

00:13:06 At what this weekend is going to culminate with, which of course is B versus C. These are the teams, some of them played yesterday, some playing for the first time this weekend here today. And if you look at it, Vicky, there's a lot of names, a lot of stories, as we mentioned, at the very top of the top and at the very bottom of the bottom trying to make it in.

00:13:25 Also sitting at 21st. So a lot of these teams feeling that risk influencing others.

00:13:55 Ich finde, das ist eine

00:14:06 Jamerson, that just has a little bit of a different spark to it. Personally, I'd like to play on this type of a day. It would get me motivated versus playing maybe last week or yesterday where there's still another match day sitting by and watching. What do you think? A little bit better to have control in your hands at the moment, knowing what you got to do to succeed or a little bit more nerves, knowing that that's how far away you are. If you don't do it, you're in trouble.

00:14:27 Yeah, I mean, the interesting thing about today is that very few teams are watching off like in the lobby right now to see how today's matches actually unfold. Everyone has a hand in their own destiny today. Like so many of our teams right now are like bottom eight teams currently in this lobby have.

00:14:46 So, yeah, a lot of people with their own destinies in their hands. So this is going to be an amazing day. Looks like the choice maybe has been made a few weeks prior for all of their performances to get here. So a lot of action.

00:15:06 That is a guarantee. Let's talk about who we think the action will center around, though. Vicky, I'll lead off with you. Who's your one to watch heading into our final match day here before regional finals?

Teams im Fokus: Vilnius, CTE, Fusion und NIP im Rampenlicht

00:15:16

00:15:16 So a team that I've been following for a bit now are actually Vilnius, formerly Team Specter, who are currently sitting in the 18th place overall with 51 points. The reason why I have been following this spot is because the analysts in the coach from Icholos, both of them actually, both in Zaini and their other coach Darkside, were both coaches in helping the success of Icholos Laser during their run at EWC last year. So a lot of potential here, the buildup with the squad sticking together when they were formerly Team Specter.

00:15:46 The specific performance, though, that really was on my radar was their Day 7 Group A vs. B performance, where they found themselves consistently in the endgame for positioning and even finished first for the entire day, which had a very similar map rotation like today. It was, I believe, Broken Moon, or rather Broken Moon Last Storm Point to open up the day. It's the opposite for today. So it was like a night and day performance compared to what they did for Day 6, where they finished in 18th. So it's a squad that has been...

00:16:15 what they need to do, what they need to work on. I do believe this is a very momentum-based squad. And after already their performance from Day 7, that's what you want to carry over since that was their performance in a stacked lobby like with Group A versus B. As we take a look at their Match Day 7 results, not a single win. Double second place, third place, fourth place are getting the KP, but that win still failed to reach them. So today, you know that they're vying for that opportunity. As I know, Jamerson, you wanted to talk about CTE.

00:16:43 Ja, CTE, das sind jetzt gerade auf der Bubble, mit Omit in 22nd place. So das ist auf der Bubble. Und das ist ein Squad, das wirklich nicht auf der Rest des Spiels haben, aber sie hat nur eine Standout Performance, das wirklich ist, dass sie im Leben leben. Aber dieses Squad, definitiv, hat...

00:17:03 Das war's für heute.

00:17:32 that they had on the day that was the huge difference maker that put them up enough to get 15 points on the day on the overall leaderboard to put them here in 22nd place tied for 22nd place so if they can have a monstrous day or excuse me one monstrous game like that maybe that's gonna be enough that clutch factor for them they go like a cruel buckle last game nine kills on that pathfinder if they can have one or two games like that that might just be enough to keep them here

00:18:01 in Pro League.

00:18:03 Well, you know, when you look at this team, you gotta look at another team who might be on the bubble. And that's not because this team hasn't had performances where they've gotten top 10s, top 7s, and been a threat. It's because they haven't capitalized on the moments that were available to them. They played yesterday, and they went from 15th place overall into 16th place. That means they're not moving up the leaderboard. They're not really falling as well. Luckily, they had a match day in hand, and this is that one. So it needs to happen now.

00:18:32 And of course, Kim Chi Lee. These three players having some history in the ALGS.

00:18:38 but not really the most historied team or couple of players to join Kim Chi, who recently was with Complexity and, of course, has that beloved friendship with Monsoon as they have recently split ways and gone, you know, their own directions heading into the end of this split and heading towards midseason playoffs. Kim Chi being inserted into Damantic's squad, who is placed 30th, 20th, and 21st in his Pro League sessions in North America, is looking now to improve upon that, not only ranking his highest ever,

00:19:07 which is at this point 16th, but trying to push the envelope so they can feel secure going into regional finals, that they have a chance to be one of the top 16 teams in North America, which would guarantee them a spot at the midseason playoffs. It is a night and day difference if you've joined us from EMEA, because...

00:19:26 While those teams need to make top eight, these teams have a lot more wiggle room due to the strength of the region and their performances so far. So keep an eye out on Fusion. Can they improve today? Vicky, one more team before we start getting into the games.

00:19:40 All right, we cannot get into today's games without talking about NIP. Ninja to Pajamas are currently sitting in ninth place overall with 65 points. Got fifth in yesterday's stacked lobbies of Group A versus C, and they also currently stand at that middle-of-the-pack squad with their current performance. I feel like with Kurev seeing how his former teammates were able to take that win yesterday for Team Liquid Alienware to pop off, they were looking on maybe to take inspiration from that to help elevate NIP in today's matches.

00:20:09 Even after yesterday's performance, yeah, Liquid's not playing today, etc. But they had tied themselves up with NIP. Obviously, this means that NIP will probably overtake that plus more. But it's a little bit of that inspiration, motivation for this team to continue on doing what they need to do differently here. Currently also coached by Raven. We've seen what Raven's been able to bring to the table with Vayne, Curve, and McLovin. I feel like NIP has been able to have their own standout performances. But it's about the consistency that we need to keep seeing from them. I feel like the one thing, too, that...

00:20:38 ist, wie sie sich in den verschiedenen MAP-MAP-Rotationen haben. Manchmal hat es einen Rentsch zu der Konsistenz, die ich immer noch zu sagen. Und Sie haben, wie Sie hier auf Matchday 8 sehen, haben sie 2nd place, aber dann haben sie das Positionen fallen in den ersten Teil des Spiels. Das ist definitiv ein Team, das hat Leute, die sich über die Vane zu haben.

00:21:00 Vielen Dank.

00:21:29 our ALGS broadcast, but you want to add a little bit of spice, a little flavor, maybe just a second.

00:21:35 If you want something to do with it, how about Faceit Watch?

And of course, if you're sitting back relaxing with a nice beverage in hand or maybe some snacks, it works on the Chromecast too. You get to watch the ALGS however you want with faceit.com.

00:22:04 Also, remember that for this afternoon, after Game 3, we're going to be inviting Crook, one of the players from Twisted Minds, who has been performing so well, to join us and talk about what he's seen in these last few games and give us a tease into what's up next. But for you, we want you to be a part of the broadcast.

00:22:25 us on Play Apex Esports on X, or in the Twitter YouTube chat a question that you might have for Crook. Controversial, funny, whatever it is, we want to throw Crook some curveballs or at least some layups so that he can have fun on our mid-show broadcast. So make sure to let us know what you want us to ask him. All right, guys, great start to the show. It's now time to kick it off. Game one is about to be underway. And for that, we've got Vicky Kitty and Jamerson.

Spielstart und Strategie-Überlegungen auf Broken Moon

00:22:52

00:22:52 All right, Jamerson, thank you so much, Rain Day. And as Rain Day already mentioned, we got game number one coming to you guys shortly. And we also are starting off the day on Broken Moon for our first three games before we make that transition onto Storm Point. Yeah, and again, the stakes here are just so high for this group, right? Because it's not just about the bubble, but we also have seeding going into future events, particularly for the midseason finals. So even for our top teams, they know that they have to hit that.

00:23:21 Plus 25, at the end of the day, they need the win if they want to have that slight edge in the competition when it comes to the Mav draft later on.

00:23:29 Ja, bringt es zu question, die Team du hast, CTE, sie sind ein der letzten Picks hier für Cultivation auf Broken Moon. Dinge CTE müssen zu tun haben, was sie planen zu machen, auf Broken Moon zu machen. Ein Map, in meiner Meinung nach, ist sehr schwierig zu Transzend durch, von diesen Chokes. Diese Chokes sind so brutal für die Schuads, die haben ein slower Roadtick, depending auf wo diese Final Zonen sind. Und ich denke, es ist sehr interessant zu sehen.

00:23:59 wie diese Legend-Bands wurden in der competition auf Broken Moon getrennt, um diese Leute zu spielen aus ihrer Komfortzone zu spielen. Ja, und in dieser Lobby ist es wichtig, dass, um, minden your corners, minden every single doorway, weil wir haben eine gewisse squadre, die sich zu setzen, 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,

00:24:28 So, yeah, they'll definitely have opportunities to try and catch out teams, whether they're going from west to east or east to north or south to north, right, to try and catch them out. And Omit, I think in particular, being very centralized right there, will play a pretty big role across our next three maps.

00:24:46 It's game number one here for Match Day 9. Groups B versus C. This is where it matters the most for a lot of our spas to dictate the way

00:25:15 They want to start off game number one for the teams that are on the cusp of relegation. They need to get the points that they need. They need to get KP. So I'm expecting some of these teams to ride off the rip, try to take some of these fights. Interestingly, because of how many teams can qualify from the Americas region, that bubble between being relegated, between being sent to mid-season, or excuse me, to the regional finals, and then of course securing a spot in mid-season is all extremely close. So a lot of these teams, even in that six,

00:25:44 16th place spot are actually well within reach of our teams that are in that relegation area. So again, there are so many important fights that will be taking place. And for Orchid, this is definitely a team that needs KP because they are on the bubble right now. 19th.

00:26:03 With 43 points overall, they're only leading by 4 points up against LG and CTE, who are tied in 21st, respectively. I'm going to be talking about Team Orkid a lot, too, as the day goes on here for Americas, because I feel like they're going to be a very good story to follow, considering where their placement is in the overall standings, as you mentioned, sitting on that 19th spot, wanting to get that early KP, already benefiting them here.

00:26:25 Sentinels are going to be able to get that scan, get that reset on top of it all. They try to, they try to take that fight early on from Spaceport, but not working for them here. Also playing Split a little bit too. They're going to be able to have that evil harvester and we're going to be able to see where our zone is going to be pulling here on Broken Moon for the first game.

00:26:42 Ja, es wird es um die Atmo Station zu kommen. Es gibt eine Chance, dass es um die Teraformer geht. So für Teams, ich will das 50-50 auf die Teraformer zu haben. Aber ich denke, viele Leute werden das Anticipate, dass es um die Teraformer geht. Für viele andere Teams kommen vom Norden, sie werden okay mit der Teraformer gehen. Unfortunately, es ist hart zu sagen, auf der Map, aber es sieht nicht wie...

00:27:05 We have a Ring console for us there. So it'll only be the UAV scan that they'll have to utilize to try and get into Atmo and try and find a spot that is playable.

00:27:17 Look how many squads are already so quick on their rotate. Calling an evac tower after getting an evil harvester of their own here. Leave Lone Witness being one of them. Fusion just calling in their own. VP going from Bionomics now over-rotating after they had a ring console and a survey beacon. So also being able to get objective here. And with Most Loved already being on that northern building by Atmo, they could also try to prevent other squads from getting information on a ring console right there. It is also nice to know, looking at the different team compositions, that Alter is the most picked legend for this.

00:27:47 1st game.

00:27:48 Yeah, I didn't get a good count, but it looks like maybe 18 out of the 20 teams are currently playing that Alter. No surprises here whatsoever. In EMEA, though, we did have Ash actually being the first Legend band. Dig Vibes caught out by CTE, and we're talking about the teams on the bubble that need that early fight, that need to get KP'd throughout the day. CTE is definitely one of them. So this is a nice little pickup for them, especially trying to whittle down the traffic that can come to the south side of the...

00:28:17 Atmo Station, this could be a great way for them to convert into the mid-game by wiping this squad ahead of them, but it does look like they have made it out and instead CTE will go ahead and hold position here on this southern building here at Atmo. So many other teams around them too with so many other alters.

00:28:37 Having to try to take these fights very carefully makes it very easy to get third party here and even get a quick reset after seeing what we've already seen with Alter and your Void Nexus on top of it all.

00:28:48 The Ultra, Catalyst, and Newcastle have a 6 pick rate too. So 32% of the lobby running that same composition is actually crazy. The only difference really being the Newcastle and Sparrow being picked as that third Legend to add to their composition. So VP looking ahead here, they've already set up their own Ultra ult over in the distance just in case they want to try to reposition and wrap around if the zone keeps pulling north and they're going to get geeked out. Yeah, VP don't like seeing that. The fight that took place between CTE and Unleashed forced Unleashed.

00:29:17 All the way down to the south side to go for that respawn. And now that's adding to the traffic that VP are going to have to deal with here on the southeast side. It does seem like a few teams are starting to rear their head around the Bionomics area. That same rotation that VP made. And so now they have to keep kind of track of that. Unleashed did end up moving away from that southern spot and going back towards where CTE is. But VP will have to keep that in the back of their minds the entire time. Now Sentinels.

00:29:45 slowly moving their way out through the core. I think that initial frag that happened onto Sentinels, it was just someone getting cheeky, going for some early bins, trying to get a little extra evo for themselves, and then just go for the reset and get the points that way. So I don't think anything really happened there at the core, but of course, everyone's happy when they get themselves some points. So regardless of that, we do have Omid.

00:30:11 Another team, again, on the bubble. They're tied right now with CTE. Who are their neighbors in this building over? The script writes itself here as RKN tries to make a move, but even with the catwalk that was trying to block him out, luckily he had the portal ready. Luckily he was the one on the raid, so he could just get right back into his building. It did cost the portal though at the same time, but Shiraz, they're going to just wait patiently inside that building that they'll be able to wait on another one.

00:30:34 I'm a little bit surprised that Omid decided to try and play slow side of the zone here instead of their typical aggressive choke holding tendencies. Instead, I think with so much on the line that they're not really going to risk it, especially when they get a zone pull like this, right? Coming from Hazmat Tunnel, it wasn't that far of a rotation for them. They were able to make it to the slow side of the zone.

00:30:56 But as time goes on, we're starting to see the buildup of the traffic on that south side of the zone. Like we had mentioned for Virtus Pro side, you got Villain is coming in from the south. For Omid, CTE, Unleash, all in that southwest region. You got teams like NIP and Shopify Rebellion coming in. But that does leave a lot more of the north actually free on this rotation. Furia slowly making their way in from that northeast side of the map through the divide right now.

00:31:24 Yeah, playing objective where they have a ring console, double surveys, just so that way they can also go to the EVO Harvester, boost up those EVO shields here in total. I mean, they're already at max with purple, but it's also about getting information, being on that crypto. One of the squads rocking their crypto, which I think is...

00:31:39 Very important to note. As they're going to start making their way from the Divide. Seeing where everybody else is. And I like how you also highlighted how the north side being rather clear in terms of pathing. Really Team Orchid being the only squad that's about to come out of Terraformer NRG over to their south side. Then we get to take a look at squads like Sentinels. As it's actually slowed down a little bit after the early action that we saw from the very beginning. Although Omid losing out on Sang as we take a look at Shopify Rebellion. They're starting to ping. We'll see where they want to start rotating.

00:32:08 Let's jump into a listen in with Shopify Rebellion as NIP are slowly approaching to their south side of Cultivation.

00:32:28 Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier. Wir sind hier.

00:32:46 Ja, ja, ja, ja!

00:33:09 Ja, ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin.

00:33:38 Was ist unter der Sturkiste?

00:34:02 Schopify Rebellion haben so viel Zeit, um zu arbeiten, um das squad zu holen. Sie bekommen die Plus-3.

00:34:26 Now they have a new threat to worry about. Look at RKN from Omid Vicky on that lurk. This is what I'm talking about. And he's got a portal right there too, man. But those listeners, chef's kiss right there. I mean, I was honestly rolling, hearing the raw emotion coming from this team. They don't even look stressed right there. You saw the double nice 69 shots coming in, that final shot, allowing them to close in the gap and even finishing it in a quick, timely manner. So that way, now Omid don't really...

00:34:56 Es gibt einen Moment, wo Phonnie erinnert sich, aber es sieht aus wie er ist, dass 100 Thieves in der nächsten Zone ist. Ja, da war ein Moment, wo Phonnie erinnert sich, aber es sieht gut aus wie er ist, für 100 Thieves. Sie haben Leave-No-Witzes in der Norden, die wirklich in ein ganz guter Platz sind, mit dem Ring auf die Schöpfe zu kommen, so es ist kein Impetus für sie zu rushen.

00:35:19 Luckily for us, everything was great for Phony to be able to hit that DC right when he did. For Shopify Rebellion, again, they'll have time. We were talking about how there was traffic here in the southern side, but now it is starting to pile up there on the north. We've got about four teams currently in that middle of the map right now, as teams still need to make their way into Atmos Station.

00:35:45 Und dann sind die Sentinels jetzt, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren, um sie zu spüren.

00:36:14 And unfortunately, they thought their back was clear. No one was really watching. Now they're down as Sentinels are looking to full send. It's the fact that Skittles was in the drone for a brief moment and Sentinels moving up, hearing it. Sentinels move up, take Skittles, now dismantle all gamers.

00:36:35 Ja, ich bin pretty sure all gamers were keeping an eye on whatever the hell was happening over at Terraformer. There was a brief engagement over the Mythic Bin that was spawning in over there. But you might have gotten the Mythic Bin, but you leave yourself now stuck with two very incredibly hard chokes to push. The Refusions is holding it on the north side. Leave No Witnesses as well.

00:37:02 Basically playing off these northern chokes. Sentinels keeping their back clear, though, because teams can still walk through this zone. They'll take some damage, but they can still walk back through this one. They bide their time. Ring starts closing in, and now they start establishing themselves firmly here on the eastern side of Atmo. Zap's still trying to keep the dream alive here for AG, too. Seeing if maybe they can get the res as he approaches a respawn beacon. Shopify Xiong falling low is going to be able to pop this shield bat.

00:37:30 Bocek in MT's hand, looking fantastic. Devo, too, coming in from Zynou, once he pops his medkit. Koiful, though, recognizes the situation. Omid holding these corners inside the building and cannot pop the Void Nexus in time. Yeah, unfortunately, Shopify of Rebellion took a little bit too long on that push. They had gotten the knock, but the res happened for Omid there.

00:37:51 Und dann waren sie auf 3-3. Jetzt ist Team Orchid, auf geht es um, und auf geht es um, und auf geht es um! Citadel verlieren auf einen 1-1, Hambino wird hier sein. Und es sieht aus, dass sie das Thirst sind. Das ist Citadel Gaming, um Team Orchid zu verabschieden. Aber die Korinthians sind auf der anderen Seite. Sie müssen sich beherren. NRG finden sich in eine Kampf, auch. Das ist die Northern Show-Cat-Scrammel.

00:38:16 Oh ja, und da sind drei, vier verschiedene Gruppen hier warten auf einen anderen, als VP geteilt. Und Shoppfei sind zu re-spawn Koi-Full, auch. Und jetzt in der Distanz ist Fioria, zu versuchen, ihre Weg aus der Zone zu gehen. Es gibt nur einen memberen, und sie finden Kion 100 Thieves, jetzt, um, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen.

00:38:40 Event drops down, and he immediately starts shooting, leaving his back open for Verholz to get the knock. It was a good response. Phony now is here in the fight. He was pretty far back with that Crypto, but as soon as they found that opening, they went in for that push. For Shopify Rebellion, though, they're resetting themselves. We'll see if 100 Thieves can hunt down the rest of them, and you can see why the move here was so strong.

00:39:04 We have that ring pulling over here. Sentinels on the edges. Able to find the knock onto Fusions who are playing that choke to that north. But we'll see if they can get that res. As now NRG starting to turn the screws. But they got Orchid to their side. They've got to be careful with this push now. Timmy caught out. Hambino will be able to get him. And that instant thirst. Here's Guild now trying his own hand at it. But it looks like NRG are just setting KP over towards Team Orchid.

00:39:31 And Hambino's cleaning everything up here for the rest of Team Orchid. Huge teamfight win. And the fact that they had the evac tower to work with too that I believe they actually took out of the death boxes of NRG. So now gonna be able to utilize that for their own good. So that way they don't get circle catch by Fusion. They're gonna be flying right over their heads as well as the solo that is still left of all gamers. I believe that's still Zap. And now Team Orchid flying around on the other side trying to find a place to land.

00:39:55 Yeah, this is completely blind, but it does seem like possibly they will be fine. Never mind, Luxford ends up going down, and it's a complete split by Orchid as they make their landing. We'll see if they can recover, though. Sentinels now moving in from the eastern edge. They do have, I believe, one member of all gamers just outside. Most Loved right above them, zoned to their back.

00:40:19 Settinels trying to get information off that Cryptidron as Corinthians start to take this fight off the low ground at a positional disadvantage. Managing to break at least one side of that Newcastle wall. Even trying to dance around the other side of the care package here too. But Wands gets isolated over to the left side. Keynes goes down alongside him. Bin with just the P20s though gets deleted. And a nice final shot with a Sentinel to be the nail in the coffin. As Sentinels now having to avoid the grenades stuck on these arrows. So that way they can reposition here over to the other side. Only utilizing the knockdowns.

00:40:48 Schild for cover. Oh no. Loader gets tagged by that Ark, but it will be safe for now. Loader on the outside. Cruel Buckle pushes forward to get that knock. Sentinels are out. CTE clear out this eastern side, but the job's not done. LG are moving in for the third party. You got Orchid as the two men to their south as well, but LG end up losing out on one. J. Cruel Buckle CTE. I think we were right to mention them at the beginning of the show.

00:41:17 Oh man, Mod looked like he right there. Noct was just standing there, he couldn't really do much, getting pinged from a distance with these 30-30s. And as you mentioned from CTE, gonna be able to move up here too. Omid still in this building over to the side, looking at Team Orchid Unleash. The attempt on the res as well as Team Orchid get eliminated. CTE now in that middle building over to that south side, looking at Unleash by the bridge. 100 Thieves keeping their front clear now.

00:41:45 As we have a lot of movement here on the eastern edge. Fusions are looking for an opportunity to come in and sweep through this side. But there are so many teams in the way. Fusions might just want to keep continuing to their northern side. Chase Mob getting deep into the zone. And we're able to get that port back. And with that Newcastle wall, they'll be safely up.

00:42:05 I wanna know if Shopify were able to steal that Rez off of a remote Rez with the Crypto, because they were playing so split over to that western side, as 100 Thieves are looking to cut off those two members of Shopify Rebellion, as that one member who came back from that Rez ship drops down, sees leave no witness, Shopify get eliminated by squads that are now left.

00:42:26 Und 100 Thieves haben wir auf Fusion jetzt. Aber hier ist es Omit versus Unleashed. CTE kommen in für die 3rd party. Full swing als A3-Man. Aber er ist revealed Unleashed. Looks wie er will ultimately go down. The way CTE started off this round. Aber mit Unleashed fallen, Omit haben wir die Möglichkeit, zu kommen in für die 3rd party. Aber sie sind so low. No one ist healing. Wir sind jetzt auf 4 squads. 11.

00:42:51 Und das war mit CTE zu haben, um Omit, die andere squadra mit in den overallen Standings vor dem day starten. 100 Thieves jetzt, auf Fusion.

00:43:11 Which squad is going to have to engage first? Looking at this final ring, look at the different directions that all these teams are holding currently right now with 100 Thieves, making sure that Fusion feels a bit of that pressure. Yeah, they got the scan out with that drone. I don't know if it was cleared or if it was sent back.

00:43:26 Und so, they might be vulnerable. There's still plenty of time here. 20 seconds for that drone to come back up in time for them. 100 Thieves have a lot of utility to play off of, right? They've got the Knuckle Clusters. They've got that Mother Low to drop down. And they're starting to ping. They're getting itchy here, Vicky. They might try to full send it on Diffusion right now. Mother Low right on top of them would keep them contained. Allow CTE to find the angles on Diffusion. You can see Cruel Buckle is peaking. Dan Matic takes a lot of damage. And there's the Mother Low coming out. And there's the knock.

00:43:56 Even with the Red Evos, you can put that away. No Mythic Bin could save you here as 100 Thieves close in that gap. But this just leaves Verholz as now CTE moving for the timely matter on the third party. And right when they needed it the most, they start off the day winning game number one. Wow, fantastic job from CTE and really did begin at the start of this first round.

CTE gewinnt Spiel 1 mit beeindruckender Leistung und 12 Kills

00:44:19

00:44:19 Getting that knock, I believe, the kill onto one of the Unleashed members, really whittling down the teams that would contest them there on the southern side, made it that much easier for them to try and control. Omid, though...

00:44:31 To their credit, also helped CTE in really solidifying that spot until it came down to that late game. But CTE did a fantastic job of staying active there in the slow part of the zone, which is really odd to say, right? Because that's the slow part of the zone. That's where the ring kept pulling down towards. We didn't see as much traffic there to the south as we were expecting, but they were still constantly having to deal with so many teams rotating in or at least peeking in to see if they could take that spot.

00:44:57 Especially that open spot by the west side of a zone like that, where a lot of teams want to rotate from that northwestern choke. They usually see that low to high ground disparity. As we take a look at match one results, CTE not only take that dub, but they take it with 12 KP to start off their day. 100 Thieves even behind them with 7 KP. Nice KP all the way around, even looking at Omit, who weren't able to secure 2 KP. But that was with them doing a very early rotate from Hazmat Tunnel. Yeah, that's going to be super important, though, taking a look at both of those teams, right? CTE and...

00:45:27 umid because you have what is that a 17 point swing now between these two teams that started off this match tied with 38 in the overall standing so this is a huge way now for cte start making some distance against the other teams that are underneath them in the overall leaderboard

00:45:46 As we take a look at the top performers too right here. Cruel Buckle was giving it to them with 6kp here too. Guardian Angel helping them out. Jay with one revive here. Warlord as well as Cruel Buckle with the 1.9k damage. Even being able to follow up here and get the 5 assists from CTE. So a CTE basically taking all this up here after taking that first game. Yeah, I forgot for a moment that that's the name of the title. Wingman, not the weapon. I was like, oh, he got 5 assists with the wingman. That's nice. Weapon meta is starting to change maybe. No, no, no, no. No one's using the wingman right now.

00:46:16 No, it's actually all the R9 after that first game, which I think is very interesting. We're still seeing a shift away from what we had witnessed within P20s, now seeing the R9s getting 28 kills in the whole lobby after that first game. It's been great, aside from that and the legend compositions that we've been exposed to. No more Alter, and we'll see some more action for game number two on the other side of this break.

00:46:54 Die Energie ist nicht einfach. Die Pressure, die Expectations. Ich bin nur einig. Ich war es für das. Andi! Ich habe Endless Determination, A Lifetime of Practice und Total Lack of Media Training.

00:47:28 Find my target. Time to say ciao. Wise on you means less on me. Finger out. I'm in the games, I'm on your screens, and now I'm on billboards?

00:49:18 Wraps up with CTE on top. 100 Thieves, had no idea what was going on with that. But you know what? Neither did we. This is a team we highlighted earlier on, Vicky. And now they've shown why they were highlighted. What a performance. Cruel Buckle leading the lobby with six kills to start. And it's worth taking a look at that again. I know you cast it, but walk us through how they were able to close that one out.

00:49:41 Well, what we saw from 100 Thieves was they were trying to send it, I believe it was on to Fusion, our third place in squad after that first game. And just looking at their positioning, they decided to play for second, knowing very well that CTA was going to just walk up and get that third party. But looking at the action that led up to that here, Fusion in that position that they were holding over to that north, the western side that we were talking about before, playing off that low ground could be very difficult, especially if you're stuck.

00:50:05 aus der Zone, nachdem man aus den Zip-Line des Zip-Lines. Und dann, die Chaos 4-A-Zone wie dieser, einfach mit einem Team collapsing auf einen anderen aus dem East von Atmo Station. So viel damage von Kruelbuckle und Squad. Sie sehen, warum. Sie haben die High-Ground. Sie versuchen alle anderen zu fighten. 100 Thieves. Und, was ich glaube, es ist Fusion, geht zurück und zurück. Ja, in Januar, Kim Chi.

00:50:30 Try to take on Verhulz and Jim Burton and Phony. And then Chase Mob with the confidence of a seasoned vet just sliding down and saying, this is my town. Don't try to come up here. Again, Broken Moon sometimes is the conversation for that one. It's a difficult map. Some of these rotations, I mean, despite, you know, even with having Alter are very, very difficult. Vicky can throw some people off. But CTE, you cannot deny the need for results right now because they are in a position.

00:50:57 in, I believe, 22nd place overall, where they're not even qualified for the Regional Finals next week. They have to earn their spot to play next week, but then they also have to earn their spot if they want to the Regional Finals, to obviously the playoffs, which still is possible here, Vicky. It's not like they're playing for something that's out of reach.

00:51:18 They would have to go absolutely insane. But if you're going to start off our series today, like game number one with 12 KP and a dub, then that is definitely one way to keep it going. And as you mentioned, being on that cusp, right on top of Omit on the 22nd spot in the overall standings, they're not just fighting for the opportunity for that playoff spot. They're fighting to even stay in the pro league before they inevitably could get relegated if they don't perform well here. Feels like there's pressure on both sides as...

00:51:46 We get in to game number two on Broken Moon, trying to avoid relegation, trying to make it into next week to stay alive. And of course, if they can perform next week, if they get there, there is a chance to be in that top 16. Right now, currently separated, let's see, by about 17 points from 16th.

00:52:09 Das ist jetzt bei einer anderen Seite von Fusion, die in der Skirmation ist. Du hast eine Team in, du hast eine Team in, du hast eine Team in. 65 ist die Magic-Number, als wir gehört haben. Und das würde eine ziemlich große Leistung haben. Nicht nur ein Win, aber vielleicht ein bisschen Glück, als auch. TTE ist auf dem Topf, 2,400 Thieves, hinter ihm. Und Fusion ist in 3rd, als wir zu landen und folgen, als wir sehen, Chase Mob, Jay und...

00:52:37 Our winning team starting to loot up. Five different teams rocking the Ash, Catalyst, and Newcastle composition with Ash being the most picked Legend within game number two with 15 players on to Ash. So kind of different opposite rotations in terms of Legends looking at the Chiamia region and now Ash where the first game we did say bye to I believe it was Ash and then Ultra kind of doing that little flip here too. So CTE coming off of that dub.

00:53:06 Not one of the teams rocking that Ash into Catalyst and Dew Castle. Instead, still opting here to look at the Sparrow where a lot of teams, it's one or the other, right? You're either comfortable on rocking the Crypto or you're going to have one of your teammates on that Sparrow. Yeah, it's interesting too. I totally agree with the Crypto or the Sparrow. Such great Recon Legends. I love Sparrow's introduction, already finding some value early on. But I like talking...

00:53:34 im amia about how the impact for looking at what zuni said worked for them was the fact that they didn't play fuse and having fuse get banned out in game three really opened a lot of stuff out for them you know when you are kind of putting lineups together that are not dependent on a few of these legends that have a ton of oppressiveness and other teams are

Legend Comps und Strategien im frühen Spiel

00:53:56

00:53:56 Well, then, okay, you take the Fuse away. You take the Newcastle away. What do you do as a result of that? A lot of teams now scrambling, trying to mimic that same level of aggression that they had with that Fuse lineup. It's not going to be there. There's really not a lot of legends that can throw 75,000 grenades at you in two seconds. And that's the beauty of Fuse. But it also means that they're going to almost be having a little bit of a crutch going into it. Teams that can play consistent around it.

00:54:21 Gonna be huge as we take a look now at not only the Legends and the compositions for our teams here in Match 2, but where the Zone looks to be pulling and Terraformer looks to have a lot of action already.

00:54:32 It does. That's LG's POI, too. So they've already situated themselves in the middle. Looks like they really only had a Survey Beacon here, unless Villainous' names or VP's names are overlapping over by Rain Console here. But just being able to hold this spot, and I really like the conversation that you're bringing up, Rain Day. I could honestly talk about Legend comps and just thinking about the different meta and how that's going to benefit different teams forever. But looking at this fight that's happening right now, CTE, the team that just won game number one in a very explosive way, are currently looking at Unleash.

00:55:02 them on their sixth they are safe exiting out of cultivation for now 100 thieves could up to rotate from there after they scanned a survey beacon understanding who's gonna be waiting for them on that next circle pool nrg now sliding in all eyes on nrg who have been phenomenal with timmy gonna be able to get that finishing blow

00:55:21 Unter Articke hier. Energie ist jetzt schon wieder zuhörter. Das letzte Spieler, die wirklich eine Wunschrei hat. Die Asch-Dash ist jetzt zuhörter. No zuhörter. No zuhörter. Hier für Timothee. Jetzt nur Lua live. Er hat sich zuhörter. Er hat sich zuhörter. Die P20s. All das ist immer die Worte. Das ist immer die Worte. Wenn du ein Worte verlierst, weil du etwas wie das. Aber natürlich, in der Zeit der Moment, zuhörter.

00:55:50 Die Nassi-Wins that trade. Super unfortunate there for the reload on the P20s. I mean, one of the weapons that rarely needs a reload. Has so much ammo in there and feels like fires forever. Some bad timing on the way for Virtus.Pro. They'll be climbing back into it as well. Sitting in 11th place right now overall. NRG, who we saw before that, sitting in 4th. So, the experiment.

00:56:19 Das war es für ihn. Es hat sich gut zu sehen, wie das NRG-Squad ist. Es hat sich, zu mir, eine revelation in this North America, in this overall ALGS-Konversation. Timmy hat kind of his wings. Ich weiß nicht, dass das mit ihm skydiving mit dem Red Bull-Squad, oder, you know, etwas anderes. Aber er kann auch nicht fly. Und er hat sie flogen zu dem Topf. Ich expecte ihn zu...

00:56:47 Have a good contest here, Vicky, heading into not only this game, but for the overall split leaders, as they're only 13 points behind Falcons right now.

00:56:59 Ich glaube, das heißt, du kannst auch, Randi. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht.

00:57:26 Cat Wall's gonna say otherwise, though. Cat Barrier's over the doors, is what I meant to say here. Look at Wade, though, and you talk about the Grenade Arrows. Oh, look at his health! After getting Stick initially, literally leaving Rambo 1. And I'm not a big fan of those Grenade Arrows. One of the only interactions, I think the only interaction we've ever seen Apex produce where a character changes the way a weapon fires from an actual damage

00:57:55 und, you know, von der Utilität, die nur andere Charakter, die etwas zu haben, ist Rampart mit LMGs, aber...

00:58:03 Really not something to the sake of, like, it does an explosion after you shoot it with Rampart. So that's really something that Sparrow brings to the table. It has not been utilized. It's a fine line to balance the Bowcheck Bow. It came out. It was a monster. I mean, OP beyond OP. Got reduced into, you know, a lot of nothingness. Kind of found its way in and out. Became a care package weapon. And now has been put back onto the floor after a long time in that package. With what was a bit of a lackluster entrance.

00:58:33 Ich bin ein sehr G7-Fan. Ich bin ein sehr G7-Fan, aber in meinem Heart of Hearts, wir haben bereits gesehen, warum der 30-30 ist, wie es so stark ist.

00:59:00 Being one of the weapons I actually learned how to play Apex Legends with, really putting itself here consistently within the weapon meta when it comes to certain long range weapons, depending on which attachments are in rotation too. I'm thinking specifically of like the Longbow right now with the Skullpiercer. It's a strong weapon too, depending on what other weapon loadout you may have available to you or if you're lacking on any ammo. Bojack being another one of those weapons here. Hasang from Omit, one of the teams rocking that Sparrow. Arkean looking ahead, still sticking to the Wraith.

00:59:29 Es ist ein bisschen slow hier, of course, after understanding where these zones may be pulling. RKN resurging back with a new version of Omit.

Spielverlauf und Team-Positionierung in Ring 2

00:59:39

00:59:39 which has been great to see. Had a little bit of a run in the open. Can they continue it now? CTG under pressure. Lot of congestion over near Terraformer as well. CTG and Citadel going against, obviously, Sentinels there. NRG have a chance to try to poach that. Fury is still hanging. Our winners of Game 1, CTE, on the Northwest, Vicky. But how is this looking for you top-down as we head into our Ring 2 close?

01:00:07 I'm looking at Sparrow just literally all over Broken Mood right now, but it's to be expected with the amount of Sparrow's that we have currently in this lobby here and the way that LG is still situated in that middle part of Terraformer, still putting in some pressure, looking at Villainous and Team Orchid and Shopify wrapping around, going from inside the zone closer to that southern rotate as a pathing to go through northern Atmos Station, probably trying to prioritize objective here, but 100 Thieves?

01:00:35 They're going to be able to get a scan on the Circle Beacon. If they get a scan on the survey or even see Shopify in the distance, this is going to be a fight that Shopify are going to have to wrap left for here and going to be inevitable with 100 Thieves also having the crypto from phoning. These are two teams that actually fought against each other before. It was 100 Thieves and Shopify Rebellion in-game number one that went up against each other, kind of setting up for another battle between these two juggernauts. 100 Thieves.

01:01:00 ...trying to continue on. They had a kind of a lackluster, I would say, second half of the split. After a very exciting Open, they qualified with the results from there. Now they've had a five-point matchday and a seven-point matchday. This is their last chance to put it all together on the flip side of it. Shopify Rebellion won their next matchday, got third place in one of them, and then, of course, was able to get a sixth in this last one. So both teams coming off kind of a met.

01:01:27 Matchday, trying to really stake their claim for maybe first place, top five. But Sentinels now in the throw of things. Carter taking a little bit of damage, bounces outside.

01:01:38 Und dann in der Distance.

01:02:01 A Charge Rifle? I think that may be Abino over in the far distance here, too. But Riley says, all right, well, I'm getting griefed by another team. I won't be able to get to the rest of my squad or even engage before they reset. So now I'm forced to back away. Very tough for Sentinels. They're on the wrong side of this engagement. Not only are teams looking out of the zone, is moving in for Ring 2. And they've still got Citadel Gaming to go through. It's going to be a long one for Riley. He's going to have to wrap around. Maybe try to find...

01:02:30 Einmal von der Southeasternen Seite. Einmal gesagt, dann doch. Citadel Gaming happy zu kommen aus dem einen mit all drei... ...characters alive.

01:02:47 The zone closing in, right? Riley's gonna be able to try to navigate away. Still gonna be able to coexist with the zone being right there, but where can you find yourself other than a crevice with two teams looking at you across the field as we take a look at where this zone is pooling and all gamers with the callout already finding themselves in the middle here of that next zone pool.

01:03:10 Great showcase of how things have shifted a little bit. Not too much. LG still in a good spot. And a lot of teams, all roads lead through them from that outside. But it's going to create now a little bit of urgency. Citadel Gaming sitting pretty nice. NRG holding the building, though, that's going to kind of be where they want to move in. There's some space near the River and the Rock, but you got to make sure you're not in line of sight with Team Orchid. So if you look at Citadel Gaming.

01:03:38 und Sie finden, mit einem neuen Castle und einem Catalyst, Sie haben eine Option. Sie können vielleicht ein bisschen mehr Platz sein, das ist ein bisschen anders. According zu, you know, our Indifference in Relation zu Sparrow, Wraith und Catalyst, die von Team Orchid haben, haben wir das Bild. Das wird interessant zu sehen, wenn es vielleicht ein bisschen mehr Platz ist, um es in der Zone zu halten und Stabilize, das Citadel ist able zu arbeiten. Da ist 100 Thieves. Grab die Evac.

01:04:07 Und in die Distance, ich glaube, Sentinels, Lord are zurück. Das Squad wird vielleicht aus der Zone kommen, jetzt auf Team Orkard. 100 Thieves fliehen in auf die Action. Sie werden von Mote über den Süd. Aber der Fokus ist zu finden, weil Sie haben Fortschritte von jedem Angeln. Brynthien ist ein anderer hier bei der Hazmat Tunnel. CTE, NIP, NRG, drei, vier Squads hier collapsing auf einen anderen. CTE geteilt, und Sentinels kann nicht aus der Zone machen.

01:04:36 und Korinthien sind auf die Hand von Team Orchid und Korinthien sind zu Reset, mit Wanz einfach nur ein-schotten. Rund 3, noch 30 Sekunden zu haben, und Wanz braucht es. Desperatete, er weiß, dass er ein bisschen mehr Pain ist, und NRG hält das Raum. Sykes hat eine New Castle-Shield in front of ihn, und Kings und Wanz hinter ihm. Ich glaube, das ist nicht so lange für Korinthien. Das wird endet.

01:05:02 Und das bringt uns zu 14 squads hier. Und jetzt NRG ist der Hauptprotagonist von dieser Zone.

01:05:07 Sie wollen ein wenig Platz auf der Seite des Ring. Aber Artstar ist bereits zu fliegen. Sie sind nicht willkommen hier. Die Team ist in fronte und Devotion singt das gleiche Song, aber ein weiteres Tune. Es geht um ein Ash Portal. Und Timmy, kann er aus den Erohics gehen? Ich glaube nicht, so. NRG ist auch Eliminatet. Und die messen wird, als N.I.P. geht über und Shopify Rebellion starten mit Omit.

01:05:33 Literally nowhere for them to be. I can't even avoid an EMP push as well. Shopify, as we take a look and a break from the All Gamers vs. NIP exiting out of the Hazmat Tunnel. We come right back around. The line from our production. Zap drops down here. Literally one shot. NIP move up. Vayne's going to be able to safely pop that Shield Bat. And in your feed, Shopify are able to get that knock onto Sang and McLovin getting that knock onto Drop. Karif on the Sparrow.

01:06:02 Da ist der Stinger Bult auch. Was ein guter Ultimator. Level 3 macht eine große Rolle. Schöpfe Rebellion, eine Devotion zu sagen. Das ist kein Problem. Träkken ist es perfekt, Koeffel. Er hat ein paar Schöpfe. Er hat ein paar Schöpfe. Er hat einen Schöpfe. Er hat einen Schöpfe. Er hat einen Schöpfe. Er hat einen Schöpfe. Er hat einen Schöpfe.

01:06:23 M.T. mit der Bowcheck-Bow zu schwingen. Und Archstars auch. Awope, nicht für ihn, hinter dem Rock. Das sieht man, das ist, dass es ein Führer ist. Aber Führer hier ist alles, was sie können. Nur zwei Punkte. Und eine Devotion von so far. Well, es ist Gold. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Das ist gut. Und du kannst, diese Pros, das ist die Weapon zu spielen.

01:06:47 Und mit dem EMP-2, FURIA jetzt nachher nachdem, nachdem die Situation passiert ist, mit Schopify Rebellion. Aber sie werden in der Distanz von MOSTLOV, die noch nicht nur noch geholfen haben. MOTHERLOD ist in Kionis. Sie können nicht wegnehmen, bevor die resten von MOSTLOV jetzt aufhören. Und sie verlieren mit Schopify, mit Schopify zu helfen hier. Weil es sehr wenigstens ist, wenn man versucht, um die LOS aus dem Team zu schießen.

01:07:16 He might have just bought a little bit of time. Nox is going to have to go big here. They brought him on the squad for this. And that's where he earns his paycheck. Can Furious stay alive though? It's Madness now as the IGL is going to have to play big. Somebody said he sounds tall. He's got to play tall right here. And stay alive. However, going to be a very, very tall opponent as well to go against. Especially with a Devotion in his hand. That is it.

01:07:43 Vorhand ist Team Orchid still in the fray. Rambo, we've seen him do it once before. Can he do it again? He cannot. And that will be the end of Orchid as Citadel Gaming clear that side and hold on with dear life to the northeast side of this ring. And a little bit of griefing too. You can see on your feed from Villainous before they try to take the fight versus Citadel.

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und Team-Dynamiken im späteren Spielverlauf

01:08:08

01:08:08 AG2 still playing off that low ground, still looking at the team that is right next to them between Villainous and NIP. It's a fight that's been going on for the last minute and a half now, and it's still happening with Skittle Cakes being on that Crypto, still getting a scan to get information while being invisible. All gamers. Zap dropped in Skittle Cakes. You may not recognize the org, but you're certainly going to recognize the players. They're sitting in sixth place, 71 points.

01:08:35 mit einem Possible 97 als der Leader in Falcons, in terms of Topping North America. So sitting just a little bit under. What is possible here to be the best? They are certainly performing well, and they've got a nice low ground spot. With some wants, Fitz is ready to go. LG, Shubi, Nocturnal, joining this squad. He's firing down on Kim Chi. Fusion, avoid it, with the Catalyst wall. Nocturnal forced away. LG stay alive to fight this.

01:09:03 Everyone trying to find the right target. Vicky seeming a little lost. Do I play low ground? Do I try to peek? Do I try to poke? And sometimes you get it wrong. Well, that's the result. You go down. What? Wait a minute. And then 100 Thieves getting that Hail Mary res here too. Seeing if they can survive with the zone. Now closing in behind them. Losing out on Naughty and Chuby. LG only having Nocturnal to stay alive. Of course, it's the Ash player who manages to dash away.

01:09:29 Fusion ist still alive. Shopify Rebellion get eliminated. Five squads left. Huge moment for January. You know that Fusion need this win. They've got to find a way to get in to the zone. It's just up to Danmantik. It's not looking good. And it's not looking good for Villainous either. They cannibalize each other's chances. And sometimes that's what happens when you leave it all up to one last day if you want to qualify. It's pain for both those squads.

01:09:57 ... ... ... ... ...

01:10:21 It's the booty of these counterpicks right before you even load into the game. But NIP still has that positional advantage over by high ground. Kuriv is trying to take a different angle and he gets beamed. LG now showing up. Zapto gets called out by the Crypto drone. He's forced now to reposition as all gamers are now still playing this out as a duo. One member of all gamers being in that middle console here while Zap being over to that left, that bottom left side.

01:10:49 It's going to go down as a mistake for Kurev. It could definitely happen a couple times. You learn that combo. You learn the counter to it. But that is too valuable of an ultimate staring down at a team in basically just a valley by themselves to waste without trying to get rid of that ultimate first. It was just an overstep. Things will happen. What can he do? Well, Kurev responds with a kill on Zapto. It seems like they're going to go down anyways. And the good news is he's chosen three of them. So he's actually got another one to spare.

01:11:19 Opting for the multiple but smaller ultimates. And that's going to be the big win. NIP take it with ease. A little bit of Sparrow action. Might have missed the first one. But I'll see you for round two. Kuriv certainly living up to where he needs to play. We're talking about NIP from the very beginning. And Kuriv's mentality in getting ready for today's matches. NIP has definitely come today.

01:11:45 To Deliver, already taking game number two here on Broken Moon and already showcasing what they're able to do, getting a good amount of KP. And I also want to highlight, too, I believe it was Villainous that I got down within top five. They were popping off that game. They were lighting up the kill feed. That's another one of our squads that we highlighted that needs to do well today. I think they finished with like 13 KP. Yeah, I mean, Villainous is in 18th place right now. Fusion is in 16th. For those trying to keep track of all this stuff, you know, top 16 are going to go to midseason playoffs. That's a trip.

01:12:14 So a big moment for them.

01:12:39 Kind of cut short a little bit by Fusion, but they, you know, will be happy with the fifth place as well. Vicky, as NIP take the top spot with 22 overall points. Villainous right behind. We highlighted that Villainous had no issue getting it to the late game. Yeah, they didn't get the dub, but so many different second place positioning and as well as getting KP. Now we're showing or we're being showcased that Villainous has the potential to get the KP that they need. And now on top of that, the placement here after that game number two.

01:13:05 I mean, second place overall in the lobby in terms of points, that's really what you have to pay attention to at the end of the day. You know, second place in the match does kind of tell a little bit of a different story, but it doesn't matter. They were able to get it done. Bucks, Gyozzi, Cheekies, you gotta love it.

01:13:23 And they are certainly playing like they have something to play for. Overall, Kurev, Vayne, and McLovin continue to be a threat. CTEs stay on top after that big win in game number one. NIP right behind them as they command game number two. Vicky with 100 Thieves, Fusion, and Villainous here in our top five.

01:13:43 And LG being able to sneak even extra points right there too allows them to be in that top 28 spot if they want to compete in the regional finals, but they want to get more than that rain day. We have to see what they bring to the table for game number three as we move on to Broken Moon on the other side of this break.

01:14:06 Reboot! Reboot!

01:16:39 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.

01:16:53 Ja, in particular, you know, VP is a fantastic squad when it comes to zone pulls coming their way. These two last games had zones that...

01:17:20 They should have had priority on, but they seemed a little bit slower on the rotate. In the first game when it did pull down all the way to Atmo, they had a decent spawn. They were doing a great job of really keeping that side of the zone clear. Unfortunately, a lot of teams did end up rotating into them. In the second game, I don't know exactly what happened to them there, but not being able to convert.

01:17:39 Ich glaube, es ist nicht die Zones aufzunehmen. Das ist nicht die Zones aufzunehmen. Das ist auch wenn sie 90% aufzunehmen. Aber ja, egal ob, sie sind in der Mitte der Pack, 11th overall. So, das ist nicht der Ende des Tages für sie. Ich denke, Stormpoint ist wo wir wirklich für sie haben. Aber für andere squads, ich meine, das war ein tolles Moment für NIP.

01:18:03 It's weird to say that they're middle of the pack team right now because they are ninth overall, but getting this win will definitely cement them in the top, I think five if they have a really good day today.

01:18:13 Yeah, you know, what really helps in all of this too is the fact that the other remaining squads in this lobby, the other two squads, where I believe one was a duo, the other one had, oh, actually both squads I think were a duo at one point here too, right? So NIP not only having the high ground over AG, but not even giving up that space just in case. LG still having that one member over to the other side here before all gamers had gone and out. But NIP still holding their positioning, just waiting for the rest of these games, for the rest of the lobby just to go to them before finding that last straggler from LG.

01:18:41 Ja, NIP war able to take that Northwest position very early on, and then AG moved in with that Watson composition, playing into that crevice, right? And we've seen...

01:18:51 similar areas like that across different maps, right? If you're looking at Harvester, right? There's a spot like that where you play into the crevice. You're basically playing for second at that point. So AG understood what they were in. For LG, they were just hoping that there were trades at all, right? Nocturnal was just watching, consistently waiting for a trade, but nothing ever happened. But luckily for him, he was able to at least survive until top two for LG. And these are all very consequential moments, in particular for LG. They were sitting in 21st.

01:19:21 Aber sie waren nur mit CTE und Omit, um, um, am Anfang der Tag, 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,

01:19:44 Unleashed, Leave No Witnesses, Corinthians, even Most Loved are all within reach if they can win on the day of overtaking so many of these squads. Now, if I was LG right now, I'm looking at Omit and I'm sweating up a little bit, trying to memorize exactly where they land here, making sure maybe, depending on these circle pools, cut off their rotation. But first off, is at hand, is NIP currently, after their last win, are going to be able to get information on where this next zone pool is, too.

01:20:13 Considering the fact that they're already here on the edge of that zone here, I have too much of an issue looking at where the zone pool is going to be. Over to that south side, another Atmos Station zone. Okay, Most Love though, they were basically forced out of their own respective POI and they have a ring console. So noting that, hopefully being able to iron out what went wrong after that first game where we also saw a very similar zone to this. Yeah, but the difference here is that this one pulls much further south. We saw in game number one, a lot of teams...

01:20:42 Um, taking a pit stop over at Terraformer, right? This time around, everyone knows you need to get into Admo. And if you could try and pull towards those platforms all the way to the south, possibly could be a great place to play. Um, again, this is a third opportunity. VP, you need to try and convert this into a top five for most loved. We'll see if they can hold on. A lot of teams making that early movement. You can see CTE, Hundred Thieves, LG, Unleash, all moving, even Omid now coming in from the Hazmat Tunnel. You were wondering, LG and Omid, how is LG?

01:21:11 Das ist schwierig, weil sie auf Terrorformer sind, um Omid zu kommen, aber es scheint, dass sie sich aus den Tunnel haben. Jetzt, als die Teams starten mit dem Scrabble in, wir sehen, wie sie in den Atmos Station starten. Wir sehen, wie die Teams starten in den Atmos Station starten, um die Team starten in den Atmos zu stoppen, um diese Teams zu kommen. Sie sehen, Leave-No-Witnesses, eigentlich trailing Fusions, um das Evac Tower zu machen.

01:21:36 Und mit White Armors, Glückwunsch für sie, Leave-No-Witnesses, nicht mehr sagen in das. Sie wollen in der Early Position, wenn sie sie auszutzen können.

01:21:45 It's been so enjoyable to also see the legend compositions that different regions opt for, depending on the play styles of these specific regions. Rafe being the most picked legend for today's game, or rather this game specifically, with 11 players on Rafe. CTE looking to get that reset, though, are able to bunker down, utilizing these cat barriers from inside of the building. Chasebob holding a different angle, but saying that the door just got blown out right before his eyes. He's forced to also reposition. Catwalk called in here.

01:22:15 von Quirlbuckle. Gets a few shots in here with the Volt. Also lacking of some energy ammo as he only has 63 bullets in the reserve. They end up getting a Raynock, but it doesn't look like they can chase after right now. There are a lot of teams starting to move into the area. As you can see, so much early rotation out. But it's gonna be a reset from everyone here. And for CTE, again, they're trying their best to survive into the late game. Even in game number two, we saw...

01:22:43 Rotation all the way out towards, I think it was like Dry Gulch or something. They took a really weird rotation when they saw that there was a lot of friction on their rotate for CTG. Now, though, getting a knock onto Riley. We'll see if they chase after more of this. Did Riley not hear them trucking along? We know Newcastle gets pretty loud. Those footsteps are very hard to miss here. But holding another angle, Citadel move up. Sentinels in some trouble.

01:23:07 In der Feed 2, Verhulst, looking like Legolas is able to get that knock onto Sykes, and Citadel are looking to try to get the revive here onto Maeve. Yeah, this is the thing about a lot of these early rotate teams, right? Because the weapon meta now really does actually benefit those teams that go for the early rotates. You've got the 30-30s, you've got the G7 Scouts. You're seeing so many kills coming out from on the other side of the ring. So you have to be careful when you're taking these fights in the center zone. You don't have the same kind of freedom that you would have in like EMEA, where...

01:23:37 In that Zone 1 closing, you have about 2 minutes to try and fight and really solidify your position here. Every single spot is hard fought for. You have to do it quick and you have to do it without any losses. Luckily for a lot of our squads though, we still have the new castles in play. You got the resets and they're able to just capitalize off of that. And so it's just a complete reset in the middle of the map right now over at Atmo Station. But for Orkid, they're playing on the edge here on the north side of this next zone. Looked like they were trying to gatekeep.

01:24:06 Fusionen haben sich sehr gut gemacht.

01:24:10 I'm looking back, too, with Omid still being in that northern building of Atmo Station. Fusion now forced to wrap around to the eastern choke. Very quick here from Luxford. I'm going to be able to delete the tracker dart here. Before seeing... They're going to be able to coexist for now. Being on that low ground here, we saw something very similar in game number one. And over to their side, aside from CTE, Unleash, all gamers isolated in the southern...

01:24:37 E side of that next zone and LG also isolated by the zip lines actually over to the south side of Atmos station. Yeah, right now it's a pretty even spread across this next ring right of teams coming in. So there's no real huge pressure points. It is slowly building up on that western side.

01:24:59 Particularly looking at Leave No Witnesses, 100 Thieves, and NIP. It's so interesting because they're playing the exact same position that they played in Map 1 when we had the same similar pull. For LG though, it looks like they have a lot of pressure alleviated here in the Southeast. For Furia though, they have been slow on the rotates here. They've been fighting some engages, small little fights. We'll see if they run into another one. We do have Virtus Pro coming out very slow out of Bionomics that are running into Fusions right now.

01:25:29 I wonder how the journey is going, too, for Sentinels, as that one solo is still alive right now in the lobby, looking to revive their teammates. Shopify were also pretty deep outside of zone, and we highlighted VP, now moving up. Sees that they're going to take that portal right behind them. Served on the silver platter is January. Got melted on the initial engagement from VP here, and now Zach, looking over to the side after Lou was able to get that finishing blow onto January, are going to be able to take that KP and run with the extra Lou.

01:25:57 Ich denke, eine der Unterschiede hier ist, dass sie nicht die Ballistik in Game 2 waren. So, wenn sie das Early-Fight in Game 2 waren, sie waren gegen eine Ballistik auf der anderen Seite. So, ihr habt die Auto-Reload, ihr habt die Bewegung, die sie nicht in die Teamfighten hatten. Diese Zeit, sie haben das, sie haben das. Sie haben das, sie haben das, sie haben das. Wir sehen uns, ob das in einem besseren Position für sie.

01:26:23 One of the squad coming from the eastern edge will be huge, but they still have to deal with Furia to their back. LG playing that southeast side. Furia ends up getting a knock onto Madness, but that is with the 30-30. And looking at the minimap, yeah, it's pretty far off. We'll see if Furia can actually punish that.

01:26:42 Wir sehen uns Madness in Position, inside der Drone zu bekommen, während er in die Animation war, um das Shield Bat zu geben, um noch mehr Zeit zu bekommen.

01:27:05 Get the KP that they need, and now this also forces VP back to get pinched by LG, who add on to the damage, finding Lua as that last member for VP, and it's gonna be inevitable to see Furia versus LG here. Yeah, Nocturnal pokes his head out on that raid.

Strategische Manöver und entscheidende Kämpfe um die Vorherrschaft

01:27:20

01:27:20 Ich bin wirklich aggressiv, um das Final Kill zu finden. Das ist ein wichtiges Kill für sie zu bekommen, nicht nur wegen der KP und den Räumen zu haben, sondern auch wegen der Position sie sind. Ich war über das Ring-Pull zu sehen, als wir in Game 1 haben. Und es ist Most Love und L.G. zu spielen auf die Plattformen auf der Souten Seite dieser Zone. Und so es wird wichtig für sie, beide Quatschen, um es wirklich klar zu halten.

01:27:45 hier und so lg poking their head out there really important we'll see all gamers is also in that general vicinity for shopify rebellion though they're working their way in all the way on the western side it's corinthian esports on the other side of this fight poking across with a 30 30 koifel does have that tempest ready to go if they want to get aggressive on this fight

01:28:06 And Zainu with that mother load here too. Back to back here. They don't want to expend too much though. Getting pinged in the distance by that 30-30. There's that Tempest as you mentioned. Trying to utilize the speed boost to avoid getting hit. While also prioritizing their rotate. You can see with round two closing in. They would rather just wrap up a round. Get into a way better spot here for the rest of Shopify. Because we know that this squad has no issue. Taking their time to rotate from the depths within the zone. And Sentinels after their reset. Are also making their way outside of quarantine zone.

01:28:36 After they took their time to finally get both members up. This is a really tough spot for Shopify Rebellion. But for Furia here. Now with the zone closing in behind them. They have to deal with Citadel Gaming. Who are getting tagged by Fusion from across the ways. And they're looking for a moment. Clearing out one of those cat queues. As they continue to push forward. Motherload along with the EMP on in. Knocked now. Trying to find an opening here. But unfortunately the walls are there. Slowing things down. Furia will go ahead and continue in advance.

01:29:04 Honestly, with that EMP, it looks like maybe putting down that barrier right in front of the wall, but I was expecting with that EMP that it would stop the Energizer wall right here. It's still a little active. You're eating that nade and Furia.

01:29:15 Backing away, popping in the shield back, so they did a good amount of damage here onto the squad on the other side, being able to get some help over by AG2. Furia finished them off. Citadel gaining out of this fight with Fusion not getting fully involved, but Team Orkid also looking to see where Furia's position is going to be once they're forced out of the stroke. Shopify Rebellion are rotating in behind Corinthians right now. Remember, they've already popped their Tempest. They do not have the extra movement speed. They're going to try to take it to the skies here, and it looks like they'll avoid a little bit of the fight on the ground.

01:29:42 But they still have a huge fight ahead of them. Sentinels playing on the other side of this one. You've got Corinthians who can now just wait things out. And it might just be a war of attrition here for Shopify Rebellion who will eventually just go down when they run out of meds. Better position for Sentinels when they were trying to get ahead on the rotate when they were trying to exit out of quarantine zone. NIP Kurev having to bow check.

01:30:08 Being aware of a team that's right in front of them here. Also looking at Corinthians for right behind them while holding a split position where 100 Thieves are holding the inside of the building by the other side of the zipline. Corinthians in a difficult situation because right behind them fighting in zone is still Shopify and Sentinels. Oh boy, two separate fights actually taking place here, but unfortunately, you know, for Shopify Rebellion, all the action's coming their way.

01:30:33 Two knocks, that's going to be Koi and MT down. Sentinels backing off just in time. They need to heal up. The ring actually doing a decent amount of damage to them. This will make it a little bit easier now for them. Not having to worry about their back. Ahead of them though, they've got Villainous playing further north on that choke. And I believe Villainous just picked up the Mythic Crate for themselves. Leave no witnesses. Any Senton, buy a hundred thieves.

01:31:01 Berholtz already has that Tempest popped. Leave No Witnesses are trying to wait this one out. They think we have a Wraith Portal coming down for Leave No Witnesses. And they're just gonna go ahead and completely avoid this fight. Oh, I wonder if they were able to collect whatever they needed from the Evo Harvester. That was right there right before they dipped out of that portal. Team's flying in from above.

01:31:22 Ja, NIP hat das, uh, advantage, of course. Situationally, they were all set up in different highgrounds. Isolated out two members and just dealt with him handedly. And now they're keeping that western side of the map fairly clear.

01:31:50 And it becomes an easier rotate in. When they were going to have to deal with a lot of teams here. Now for 100 Thieves though. They have to deal with Leave No Witnesses proper. Who were able to cut them off with that Wraith Portal. Avoid the fight. Avoid the fight with the Tempest by the way. That was used in that. So Verhulst doesn't have it available for this one. They will just go ahead and back away. Find a small little cubby to work off of. Verhulst though might fall here. Can only take one ring tick damage. And he gets hit just in time.

01:32:19 Ja, NRG von...

01:32:48 We'll see if...

01:33:13 They can use that to actually push onto Omit. Omitter kind of spread out here. There's an opportunity now for Corinthians to come in as a full three, jump on top of them. For NRG though, they need to start moving. We got 17 seconds until Zone starts closing in. And there's a lot of teams around them. You got Unleashed, you got CTE, Most Love coming in for the south side. And of course, Leave No Witnesses will be rotating in from the north. For NRG, if they don't move now, this could be over. For Leave No Witnesses, they have no choice but to move forward.

01:33:38 And they lost out on that one member you mentioned, too, from Omid, unfortunately, after playing a little bit split here, too. Seeing that there is a Respawn Beacon right there, they can try to res him, get his box right back at his feet. Survey Beacon also activated in front of Leave No Witness, missing out on that Kraver shot. Ooh, but he heard me! I had to prove something real quick, getting the quick 150.

01:33:57 Also NIP in your feeds, being able to get that knock onto NRG. 13 squads left. Looks like Omit were able to get that res earlier on too. As you can hear it, CTE do get eliminated. Yet another Kraber shot. Three bullets left here. Four blades. Yeah, leave no witnesses. After getting that Mythic, are really able to convert off this one. That Kraber creating huge opportunities for them, but now they need to take some moments.

01:34:20 Oh mein Gott, alle die Teams kommen in von der Nordseite.

01:34:47 Oh, it was like seven teams that were moving in from that north side with the attempt on getting that res. You see the portal being right there, too. Skittlekicks is literally one shot here, too, with the rest of AG holding the different corners. Sentinels neighboring that inside the same building as them. Omid still alive, though. And I think they're up as a full three currently. Sentinels now having a deal with all gamers above them. They've got some time to work with. 40 seconds here. It's a full send on the fights, but they've given...

01:35:17 10 Sekunden für den Reset.

01:35:46 Get him up. Fighting fit. And they need to hold the line. As Sentinels are trying once again. EMP comes in. Chikis tries to hold it here. But it looks like Vukes will just go down once again. Gyoze taking a lot of ring damage here. Might just fall. As Chikis will try and wrap this one out. Sentinels pick up some of that Unleash falling as well. And it is so many squads just falling to the ring right now. Seven squads remaining. As Orchid now controlling the north side.

01:36:14 We gotta Leave No Witnesses still having to walk forward, but it's gonna be up to Blaze with that port to try and get them in. They're taking so much ring damage. What? Six squads left now, too. Trying to make a play as Team Ork can move up. Leave No Witness move up. Sentinels then move up from the north side. It is chaos as this northern squads have to collapse on one another. Trying to stay alive is Luxford.

01:36:35 Rambo ist da, findet eine Korne, die Schildkampfer hat. Die P2020 kann nur so viel durch diese Katwahl. Die Sentinels sind in ihrem eigenen Vorteil. Die Devo sind in ihren Händen, als Team Orchid geteilt. Das ist Sentinels, NRG, die LG in dieser Final-Circle ist. Aber für NRG ist es nur der Wraith, die ihr best zu überleben. Nichts, Timmy wird fallen. Die Final-3 hier.

01:37:00 And this is what I was expecting for the squad to go deep into this zone. Go all the way down towards the southern platforms. It was LG on the southeast one. I believe Most Loved took the southwest one. And then from there, they just held on. There was no pressure whatsoever. LG alleviated a lot of that one. We saw in that mid-game, keeping VP out, keeping the other squads moving in from that southeast side. And then, well.

01:37:28 Für alle anderen Team sind einfach nur auf der Norden Seite gekommen sind. Das ist warum wir zu den Killing-Field in Atmo waren.

01:37:37 Can you imagine seeing all that chaos from LG's perspective? Sitting happily on this high ground? Like, dang, what's going on over there? What a mess. Thankfully, we weren't invited to that party. Instead, we're looking to hold onto high ground here. And they have the weapon loadout to do so as well, you see. Holding these different angles here with Naughty. Having that 30-30, Sentinel's forced to look first at most love. LG are not gonna be moving.

01:38:01 So the zone closes in right behind them. Nice shots coming in from Loader with this 30-30 after calling in the 10 misses as well from Carter. Yeah, this is going to be a difficult catwalk for LG, but they at least have it. And now it looks like Sentinels are going to try and full commit onto Most Love right now. And it's all up to LG to try and finish this one off.

01:38:17 Jetzt ist es Zeit für L.G. zu clean up was left on Aisle 3. Sie sind eure Game 3-Winners hier auf Broken Moon. Nicht nur haben die Game 3-Winners, jetzt haben sie insgesamt 33 Punkte.

01:38:36 So, very, very pleasing. At the end of the day for my OCD brain. But LG, they just bought their time. And again, with Nocturnal on that Wraith, you got to see how aggressive he played early in the mid game. And that's kind of like classic Nocturnal that I love to see. When he was going in for those third parties, pretty far off from his squad, but he was on that Wraith. He's got that experience. He knows the limits to really be able to push with that Wraith. And that kind of pressure alone.

01:39:03 wirklich war die größte Faktor zu der Win hier in diesem Spiel. Ja, also die Faktor, dass wir Noten wo der Position war, von der sehr beginten Part des Spiel. Das geht hand in hand mit dem Faktor, dass nicht nur sie gewinnen, sie nur 6 Kp gewinnen, aber das ist großartig für sie. Sie spielen in ihrer Strength für das Final Game auf Broken Moon. Sentinels, doch, sie kam in Swinging in der 3rd Game, securing 14 Kp.

01:39:28 Ja, und du musst, dass LG kommt von Terraformer und VP kommt von Bionomics.

01:39:34 vp should have had the priority on that position they should have been able to take that but lg just moved a little bit faster i don't know what happened with vp on that rotate but lg were able to isolate that one out great job again nocturnal one of the best igls i still say uh hands down especially when it comes to late game ring calling he called it from ring number one got them there i mean it was a pretty easy trip right coming up from terraformer but they were still able to notify uh notice that and take position there now of course they don't get as many kills right because they were so

01:40:04 So deep in that pocket. But every single point matters here, especially with so many teams on the bubble.

01:40:10 There's so much to break down, too. Just off of LG's performance in that game alone, in the overall standing, they've jumped on top of VP, which highlights that VP's early success within Pro League, you know, been faltering a bit. They could get the KP, but they haven't been able to get those placement points. As we keep mentioning before, looking at the series results, and now LG leading the pack, but not by much. That gap is so small here. You can separate it by a pixel, as Sentinels are right behind him with 31 points. Wanting to break down the action, though, I want to bring back Rain Day to talk about the action.

01:40:39 we just saw within that third game you know a huge moment here for lg guys as they're trying out this new roster nocturnal figuring out how he's gonna look without hot sick without fun and going into now his new journey of deciding what he means as a pro to this lg team who have you know been a mainstay for so long but their identity has shifted is this a new identity this is a big big moment if they can keep it that way like you mentioned vicky excuse me

01:41:08 Wow. Thank you. But, you know, I just want to wait for the close up till that happened. You know, LG is specifically at, as it stands right now, 16th place is where they would be. That's more than enough to get the job done at regional finals and trying to keep improving on that in order to make it to mid season playoffs would certainly love to see it, but I'm not a pro we watch the pros, but I'd love to hear a pros take on what they're seeing so far after three on broken moon. And that's why I decided to treat you all with the man.

01:41:37 from Twisted Minds, sitting in 6 right now, sitting pretty, no longer having to work this weekend. So taking it easy, Crook. Welcome back. You got the jersey on. It's good to have you here, man. Hello. Good to be here.

01:41:53 You know, Crook, I don't know. Did you get inspiration from the little guy behind you in your camera? Is that what you decide? Or did he get inspiration from you? I'm just noticing the similar. I definitely got inspired by him for sure. Yeah. My main inspiration. He's a smart guy.

LG's Zone Control and Crook's Hot Take on Recon Legends

01:42:10

01:42:10 Totally. Crook, I want to obviously walk through that last zone with you. You guys have been really successful this split. You've been doing a lot of things right, especially in zones. Walk me through how LG comes across this one and then just what you saw overall in terms of the dynamics between these teams in this last game. Yeah, I mean, LG just had the whole entire zone of control to themselves. They had the whole high ground of the building. It was really much needed for them for their split, so I'm really happy for them that they were able to get that game across.

01:42:40 Looking at this too, you know, there's a couple of teams on the bubble. How do you feel about being in a position like this on the bubble? For you guys, does this give you more energy or is this something that you want to avoid at all costs? Definitely something we want to avoid, you know. We've kind of, we've been in like weird situations to split where like we've been doing good and we've been doing bad. Like I haven't even been an assistant. So we want to really like in real the final just show as much as we can.

01:43:06 Ich bin sicher, dass wir in den EWC gewonnen haben, aber ich wollte eine gute Performance für den letzten Saito-Split in den Regional Finals.

01:43:15 Yeah, I mean, we're talking about LG, you know, in 22nd right now or something, trying to make it in. If you guys aren't confirmed in six, well, let's just stop. Let's stop the broadcast right now. I'm pretty sure you guys are going. But I do want to ask you this question. You know, you guys seem to know Zone so well. We had Al talk with us a little bit at the Open. He said, you are somebody that knows the Zone so well. It allows him to open up his play and be the player that he can, which we know, flexing, making plays, making moments. But you always seem to get them in the right positions. That's why he had so much faith.

01:43:45 On you guys in the final day. What is it about your process that allows you guys to continually find yourselves in successful spots? One of the things that helps out a lot so much throughout the split is I've been like Hodzik. Hodzik has really been grinning in my brain that every zone, you just go zone by zone. You don't take it. You don't try to do too much. We've been doing too much in the beginning of the split and it really cost us. And during the LAN.

01:44:13 für Eildjus Open. Die ganze Zeit, in der ganzen Zone, wir einfach nicht so viel zu tun haben. Wir einfach nur für die Zone zu spielen, dann haben wir die Spiel aus dem Spiel. Das ist wirklich die Hauptsache, die Hauptsache.

01:44:27 It's great to see that synergy coming into play, man. Well, shout out to Hodzik as well. I said his name once and then it's happened again. I mean, I'm waiting for a third time here. I haven't said Hodzik in a few weeks. So, okay. All right, Hodzik, we got you. You guys are doing great. I want to now, you know, get into the conversation, Crook, because you seem like you are, man, just ready.

01:44:46 for our segment that we love to put our pros through our hot takes where you guys give us your spicy hot takes on all things apex legends or a lgs it's up to you so crook walk us through what is your hot take you're gonna have about 40 seconds or so to prove your point let's go let's hear it

01:45:05 So my main hot take right now is that the Recon Legends definitely need some adjusting. I think that Crypto and Sparrow have a really big gap in between the other characters. And you really need to see them buffs. Because Sparrow and Crypto can both hit beacons from really far away. And then the other ones...

01:45:27 You have to be close to the recon scan to actually hit it. So it's like a detriment to the other characters and there's no reason to play Vantage or Seer or anything like that. Just because they don't have the ability to be fast and make the pace of your game really fast compared to the other characters. Is the main thing. And that's pretty much it really. It's just buffing the other recon legends.

01:45:54 I can't believe it. I can't believe it. It's two broadcasts and two Seer buff requests. What is going on? What's happening around here? Who has gotten into these pros' minds? Crook, that's pretty hot. Vicky, is that too spicy? I don't know how I feel about Seer. Totally by his sake. But what Crook is talking about is so facts. Because you're going to have crypto. You're going to have Sparrow out here remotely hit these beacons. I know you can see that for the other Recon Legends.

01:46:22 But Bloodhound needs help. You have to implement something that these other legends provide where their other kit is so strong that they don't need these remote scans. But then you have Seer, Bloodhound, and Valkyrie, Vantage doing their absolute best but crying at the same time. Jamerson, I don't know. We haven't had a Sparrow season yet. We're upon it right now. Bloodhound, Valkyrie, they've had their season. Seer, they've had their moments. Is it their time? Do you agree with this or not?

01:46:48 I mean, if Sparrow can shoot an arrow to get the ring scan, why can't Vantage snipe the console as well to get the scan for themselves? We haven't really seen... Let the bat have a gun. ...very, very niche compositions, and this was like maybe three years ago too. So yeah, Vantage definitely needs something at the very least. I don't know about all the Recon Legends, but at the very least, I'd like to see Vantage with something.

01:47:14 You know what, Crook? This is a hot take. I totally disagree. Let Sparrow have his time. Stop trying to get all these other Recon Legends back. We cast enough of them. I know you want to not have to stop at the beacon while you're running around, but so what? That's part of the job, buddy. Okay, good job, though. Good, hot, spicy take. I appreciate it for having fun with us here. You know, Crook, being a good sport, we want to also introduce you to another segment where we ask the chat some questions they might have for you. You guys have been successful. You've been all over the map here, representing a great organization.

Shopify Rebellion's Comms and Legend Ban Ideas

01:47:43

01:47:43 You're going to be at midseason playoffs barring some inevitable, some crazy things. So we want to hear what people have to say and think about you. So let's go ahead to it. All right. The first one here coming up. A shrubby, shrubby baby eight. All right. I always love how chaotic SRS comms are. May sound chaotic, but it works for them. How do you feel about Shopify Rebellion's comms? Do you think?

01:48:11 Chaos is good, or is that the spell of something that could be bad in the future? You know, our comms are almost like to the point where you can't even understand for speaking English. So I think it can work. It can definitely work. There's a lot of times where you watch back our VODs and we're just like, how did we even understand what each other were saying here? Because we just have no idea. Like we all speak so fast. You're locked into the source code.

01:48:38 Manly, me and Enemy just speak so fast, Mac doesn't even understand what we're saying sometimes. Okay, let's do that. You know, when you speak so fast and you mumble, basically he can act like he's hearing you guys, but just do what he wants to do anyway. He's like, oh yeah, sure, okay, let's move over here. I'm fighting this guy. Okay, now let's go to the next one. We've got somebody else who wants to chat with you. Chat, what do you think? Let's go, bring it up.

01:49:03 Oh, Grizzlebrand357. I think the names are my favorite part here. What if the winning team was immune to legend bans for the next game? Thoughts? A little bit of prize awarded on top of the cash, on top of the glory. You get to choose whatever legend you want so you can still play that character. Interesting thought. How do you feel about that, Crook? I don't know. I feel like you just get targeted so hard.

01:49:31 Every team in the server would know who you are. I don't even know if I'd want to even pick that character. Everyone should be like, okay, this is Twisted Minds, let's just go int them. Like, alright. Just go bully them, bully them. I mean, we just got the Legend Band system in. We don't need to iterate on it right now. We love what we're already treated to in terms of costs. Yeah.

01:49:55 It's a fun idea. I like the creativity behind that idea. I feel like we wouldn't have gotten legend bands the way they are if we didn't have some creativity, you know, involved in our esports. So keep them coming and keep them coming to our pros and to us at Play Apex Esports on X in general. Maybe we'll start a conversation on broadcast without even having a pro nearby. But Crook, thank you so much for being the pro nearby. It's been great to have you along. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and having some fun with us, buddy. Take care and we'll see you soon. Of course. Thank you so much.

Valkyrie's Viability on Storm Point and Early Game Action

01:50:26

01:50:26 All right, Crook and Vicky going to take a bit of a break here, Jamerson, as it's time for us to get ready to go into game four, switching things up over to Storm Point. That means familiar territory for a lot of these teams. It also means working with the legends available still to try to come up with a strategy. And to me, this is...

01:50:44 been on my mind and i know we've been talking about it from kind of more of these hot take perspectives but the valkyrie i mean really valkyrie became the storm point legend and when you look at it all these legends who kind of are successful you know let's say sparrow and crypto has always been that but sparrow has his uh ability to shoot his arrow get recon information maybe he becomes kind of the long range fast recon legend every every character who does well tends to have

01:51:10 A thing about them that they do bangalore, even for a long time, a big factor of her was on storm point, her smokes, her ability to maneuver in that wide open space, make cover where there isn't cover. So what do we feel about any of these legends actually coming back? I mean, is there a play for Valkyrie to be considered? You know, I feel like we're kind of while we get despair, while we get a lot of flexibility, we really don't ever see Valkyrie in any of these lobbies in North America or EMEA.

01:51:36 Yeah, there are very few niche picks. In particular, what comes to mind is VKG, right? Whenever it comes to open land, or lands, excuse me, that VKG are able to utilize the Valkyrie extremely well to basically cut off priority for any other team around them. And they do an amazing job for it. But I think in particular, just because it is such a niche pick, it's what's working out for them. Unfortunately for Valk, I think just with the introduction of...

01:52:06 Vielen Dank.

01:52:06 Ja, ich meine, ich möchte in auf das, weil es manchmal die beste Buff ist

01:52:36 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal wiederholen. Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal wiederholen. Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal wiederholen.

01:53:05 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.

01:53:15 final game of the day. And so you can almost kind of bank on that to try and convert into a top five and play for themselves. But for LG, honestly, they're doing immaculately right now. They've been able to navigate into the late game twice off of that central pick off of Broken Moon. This time around, it'll be a little bit more difficult, but their performance on Broken Moon does give themselves a lot more wiggle room here now in the second half.

01:53:40 All right, well, I'm ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy this one. Hopefully you are as well on your Sunday evenings if you're in Europe or if you're in North America or just middle of America, East Coast, wherever you are, enjoying the beginning of your Sunday evening. What a day, what a time. And the LGS right here for your entertainment pleasure. LG coming off a win. We're talking legends. We're talking stakes. LG, one of the...

01:54:10 Real, I think, teams that have the most stakes in here with Nocturnal, joining this squad, making the change after the open to get rid of Saucer, bring Nocturnal in, and really combine that experience and that eye dealing with Naughty and Shuby. It's worked out so far, first place, with that last win. Look at this, Corinthians here. Uh-oh. Setting up a little trap. It's not Halloween, but this did get scary.

01:54:38 It's Villainous on the other side of this one. They see some util being thrown out and instantly they want to try and punish this one. Unfortunately, was not quick enough. Corinthians taking a page out of them. It's booked there. But they will just go ahead and back away. I mean, they figured that was a pretty good read on the lobby to try and play the lurk off of Jurassic right there. But unfortunately, now that does kind of delay them. Villainous are able to get past or maybe not. Wait, did a tree eat one of those shots? I feel like Bin might have been able to get the knock there.

01:55:08 Ben is so close and you can tell I think we've all been there with a sentinel he knows where he wants to go it's the door and the aim just a little bit off and it's that one shot at 158 that's gonna cost a lot of shield cells or shield that good luck that it's good thing that it's early is the pylon seems to be a hotspot for sure Corinthians and villainous already they're fighting a little bit for position and villainous gonna hold that building or the top of the ridge

01:55:37 where they know a lot of teams from Echo, Coastal, Devastator are going to start rotating right there. That's going to be a collapse here. Sentinels, look at that, Jamerson as well, wrapping around. This is definitely getting to be a hot spot here. It's going to be interesting to navigate that. Yeah, this is one of those difficult zones, right? In that Zone 2 read, you still don't know. This could pull to Echo. This can pull down towards Coastal Camp. This can even...

01:55:58 Es ist ein Pullover-to-Pylon. Ihr arbeitet an 33.33% repeated, of course, um, um, where these Pulls can go, or it can just go dead center. Never mind, it's 25% across the ways, and then you got the dead center Pull. That could happen in between Echo, Coastal, and Pylon. But right now, we've got a lot of movement, actually, um, as teams are starting to work their way into Echo HQ instead. LG have opted into the Echo HQ Pull as well, so...

01:56:27 Don't know what's kind of spurring this move from out so many of our squads. NRG could have stayed in Coastal Camp if they wanted to, but they decided to make that move instead for Orchid Gaming, who have been quietly finding their points across the last three maps, really keeping themselves within reach of trying to get a win on the top of the day. They've done a successful job securing at least six points per game.

01:56:50 Und Team Orchid, wir haben es mit Produktion gesprochen. Das ist eine solche, die wir immer für uns, weil wir sie so sehr lieben sind. Ja, great players, great stories, a lot of family in there, a lot of incredible moments, things that would be hard to happen twice that have happened here. Zyne, die 1v1, das wäre schwer, aber es passiert. Und vielleicht nicht 1v1, vielleicht 1.5v1, all gamers ready to go. Zapdos, Kibblekakes, haben sie geholfen.

01:57:20 Continuing Shopify Rebellion struggles. This is a team that is literally in the top position alongside Falcons with a match day in hand. They could easily overtake and be the number one team heading into regional finals in North America. But they've just not gotten it done. They've not found their rhythm yet. And coming off a six-point match day, I'm surprised, Jamerson. That is probably one of my biggest surprises so far looking at this. What's gone wrong? Yeah, I...

01:57:48 It's hard to try and call it all out, honestly. All the pieces are there. We're expecting so much more, but sometimes the stars just have to align, and other times the lobby just does things that you can't really read. So it feels like it's just kind of getting back into form. I hate to say it, but it sometimes does take until the final game day to really get there, but yeah.

01:58:14 I think, honestly, this is one of those squads. Potential is always there. I never should count them out. No, I don't think this is also a team that, to me, if there's a team that's going to take, you know, a day off, if there's a chance to do so, I could see maybe that happening with Shopify Rebellion. Not that they don't want to win. It's not taking a jab at them in any way. But it's just kind of saying that they know how good they are. They know how talented they are. They know they're already in a position to.

01:58:42 Not only be qualified for midseason playoffs, but for regional finals. And just be in that lobby. And they know if they're in the lobby, they can win. When you have that much confidence, you know, a la Falcons. You know, a la sometimes 100 Thieves. A la sometimes Shopify Rebellion. You're okay with an okay day. You know, because it happens. And you know that you still are one of the best teams in the world. You just got to play that way. Yeah. Now a lot of our teams starting to make their way into Echo HQ.

01:59:09 All gamers playing upstairs. We know this is a particularly strong spot. If the zone continues to pull down to the southeast here for NIP. They're making their way in from the northern side. They are checking their back. They've got Citadel Gaming. I think McLovin might have just seen them on the rotate down. Yeah, he does. So now Citadel Gaming, they've got to be careful. But NIP don't have to commit to this fight. They can just continue to try and cut them off here.

01:59:37 And it looks like they will go ahead and start moving under a little bit of pressure from PDE, but they'll be fine. Yeah, those Prowlers never take a day off, do they? Hardest working dinosaur-like creatures in the game. I gotta say. Storm Point continuing to give us a good amount of action to start, but it's all a little bit of the tease. The rising action here before really something occurs.

02:00:05 And we hit our Climax, 19 squads still remaining. So while we have seen a few kills, a few knocks, only one team has gone down. Actually, no teams have gone down, excuse me, because this is a 19-team lobby. So there has really been a lot of action and a lot of bark, no bite quite yet, Jamerson, which is okay for a lot of these teams as we take a look now as Ring 2 is about to close at where our Ring 3 zone will be. And an idea of Ring 4.

02:00:33 Ja, so Echo HQ, definitely the pull. There's still a chance that it pulls out towards where Unleashed are, but for everyone else that have a power position inside of Echo HQ are definitely happy. It's difficult in this particular spot for any team to really control the zones around them. It's going to be a lot of teams just kind of slamming into positions, and, you know, you just always have to worry about the wraps from teams like...

02:01:00 Okay, holy retards. I'm gonna get out and shoot at them I guess?

02:01:28 We can't we catch up again get in we go now get in we get out there's only I'm not gonna boost I'm not gonna boost I'm not gonna boost I'm gonna put the car here sideways and just get ready to fight it play on the right side of the car I'm about yeah remember this fair shit

02:01:56 Don't forget, there's only one team in Coastal so they can kill us too. We need to get to like right here, you know the big rock? Yeah. Sir, can you get in? Make sure you use boost if we can. I'm gonna get a heal. Yeah, I think we get out here and stop. Wait for a boost. They're on that rock. There's one guy on that rock. Wait, why look? I'm fighting this. I'm fighting our back. Alright, I'm coming.

02:02:26 He's not like swinging. He's just holding you right here right on this point die. I Think I died you might have bro. I think this is a solo, but I He was by himself on the baby earlier. No, no, no all three all three all three I can't hit the recon night. We need to try to get into coastal guys Yeah, we did uh-huh. Yeah, it's really tricky. We're gonna try our best right? We've 21 seconds left. They have all of coastal themselves

02:02:52 We need to use this team on our right to keep us alive, okay? Come to me for now. Right on our head. Hopefully you just get right on our head. Yeah, I'm gonna try. Gonna try. I think I have seven still there. I'm burning it. I mean, I can spare all time when we need to try to get around. We need to try to get around. We need to try. I'm going to Zach. There's still team on the left, guys. There's still... Yeah, I keep calming that. We can try to get around. I'm here, man. This seems right. I look down on us. I can get out wide left and shoot for you. I'm way ahead of you. That team's rapping.

02:03:22 In top ball. Don't give them entry guys. Do not give them entry. Is there a team back here still? No, they're wrapping.

02:03:32 Alright, we're good. You guys have met two cells. Play up in the staircase. Let me maybe play up in the staircase. What do you think, Zach? Uh, I'm 12-11 too. I mean, we kind of just need to prep a fight here. We have a solo on us, right? Isn't this a solo on us? Running? No, it's not a solo. Oh, is it? It's like a solo to me. It's not four hours on the map. No, there's no solos. No, there's no solos. It's a one bat, one cell. One bat, one cell, guys. Here, I'll give you five cells. Drop these cells. We're in a tough spot. We kind of just need to win a fight here.

02:04:00 Okay, I'm done. I have ballistic ult, 40 for ballistic ult. Yeah, we have to wait for it. It's really hard to win this. I mean, we have to try. We can't. Yeah, yeah. We still have to go around to the right. They're pushing us, I think. Come to me, come to me. I have to shoot this. Ballistic one.

02:04:28 Let's take literally one shot. I'm going in It's a struggle with no old stuff. We just need to get in the building. I'm getting into the building Batting in the building care for third party. You need to get on the roof and just chill bro. You can't land into the boi

02:04:56 Ja, we'll kill them all on zone close. Play on me, play on me, play on me. I'm coming to you, coming to you. Zack, on you, on you. Slayer, on you, inside your build. One, one on Digit. I need auto swap, I need arm swap. I think on me, I think on me. I'm not sure though. I think you guys on me. I'm coming to you, coming to you, Zack. No, no, slow. Slow, Lou, he's too late. Yeah, I know. I'm with you. I'm not kidding. Nice.

02:05:25 Gut, shit, guys. We need to play for this corner. There's going to be a team in this rock, and I'm not going to have Sparrow. Do we have any ults at all? No. I'm looking for all the cells. I think there's a rat.

Virtus.Pro's Survival and Shopify Rebellion's Struggles

02:05:37

02:05:37 Well, Virtus.Pro find a way to make it through the chaos and navigate it into a building. That was one of those, Jamerson, that was tricky. Kind of like going from Archons here, a third person in a novel to first person. You get to hear all the confusion, all the hesitation, all the maybe, maybe nots. But you get to feel just as elated as they do as they finally find a way to reset and get that kill on the CTU. Oh boy, most love though.

02:06:04 Ich bin jetzt auf der Fall. Zainu hat sich auch auf das Duell. Aber will Shopify-Rebellion sein können?

02:06:31 On the northern side, the fight's not over. It's NIP versus Fusions. Difficult, difficult rotation from Shopify Rebellion. Tiny does well to clean it up, get the extra KP, and get himself in the top 15 to earn that placement point. But it is not the type of day so far, Shopify Rebellion, we're hoping for. Sitting about middle of the pack at about 15th position right now. 14-15. NIP though, McLovin. Loving that start. No more resets.

02:07:00 On the Tempest. That was a change earlier on this week. And so that 45 seconds with the perk at level 2 is all you're going to get. So they're starting to slow down a little bit on this push. Or they're going to speed up knowing they've only got a few seconds of time. And a Devotion Bullet. That was just so close. And McLovin is going to pay for it. Zell with a headshot. Finishing Moth now with Vayne though.

02:07:22 He's got to play Hero. And I'll tell you what, he's got that stinger bolt. We know where the Watson pylon is, but he's going to be fighting against three, make it two. Well, he's fighting an uphill battle if you ever saw one. Both senses of the word.

02:07:51 Hopefully he can get this res here.

02:07:55 And I think that just may give Kurev a little bit of time alongside NIP. Virtus Pro, as we checked back in with them, have lost one. But Lug, still alive, hiding behind some of those knockdown shields, Jamerson. Will the Motherload buy him a little bit of time to try to get a rez off? Yeah, no team really want to try to peek out from this. You got NRG and Sentinels in the area, but they don't really want to give up their spot. They don't want to over-aggress because they know that they have so many teams still in the area that can take advantage of them.

02:08:22 Jetzt kommt es zu 100 Thieves, vielleicht ein bisschen weiter. ZNIP fallen, Leve No Witnesses, still pushing forward. Unleashed hat es eine voll 3-Matter, absolut gatekeeping sie. Es ist alles zu Zazel, und er will enden Fallen, bringt uns jetzt zu 10. Unleashed hat das Nord-Side-Zone clear. VP, ultimately get cleaned up. AG, find that Angle onto sie. Und jetzt, die Heroics gegen Omit, VP fallen.

02:08:51 Great opportunity to try and get back into this one, but at least they picked up KP along the way. 17th position, 10 points only for Virtus.Pro. You can see how hard things are just to try to get in the zone. So it felt like maybe they were on the right side of this game. Certainly we'll be hoping for more with two games to come after this one. Nine squads left. 3-5 about to close. 100 Thieves, Sentinels in a pretty good spot. NRG at the other building, but that's an easy walk.

02:09:20 und vieles Chaos ist jetzt zu passieren, als die Leute versuchen, alle Slopes zu gehen, um zu ECHO-HQ zu gehen. Ein Team wir schon erwähnt haben, Team Orchid, Hembino auf der Scout, mit der Devotion in Hand, und ein Stingerbolt für den Ultimate, wenn es sich ein bisschen häriert ist. Wir müssen uns nicht in Rambo zu machen, aber es wird ein großer Spiel-Changer sein.

02:09:48 If they can do it as Echo HQ becomes the center of attention here in round five. Yeah, we got four teams basically stacked on top of each other. Furia, LG. Never mind, AG actually making their move early on. So they're going to avoid a lot of the fighting here and play on the low ground. But for Team Orchid, they have to fight their way through. Furia ahead of them now. They can try and swerve around with AG actually giving up some space here on the south side. So Team Orchid, we're going to take the...

02:10:15 ...Path of Least Resistance throughout all of this, and allow Furia to play to their back. 400 Thieves, though. They're just trying to clear this one out, getting a knock onto one. We'll see if they can find a little bit more. One of the big elements of this Tempest, as well, is that it applies, if you do need it, to Care Package Weapons. Nocturnal does have himself a Kraber. But right now, the Devotion has just proved too valuable, too dangerous to pass up. Newcastle Wall goes down.

02:10:40 von Shubi, und das macht sie in eine ziemlich gute Position. Sie haben viele Angle auf dem Team, der ist in die Eko, als es steht. Orkid ist es nicht so gut. Sie werden in den AG, also hat es zu steigern. Und jetzt wird er in den LG. Rambo ist einfach zu versuchen, zu Slip-N-Slide in den Weg. Er ist in der Trouble.

02:10:59 A little car that Virtus.pro left behind. And he sees 100 Thieves up on top as well. There's a pylon there. But I can't imagine that Rambo is going to have too much time to live again. As 100 Thieves realizes it and takes him out here. Verholtz with the final kill.

02:11:16 Orkin nicht able to secure a little bit more placement points for themselves. But again, it's just about those small incremental gains that they've been able to make all series long for LG. It was a great move to pull to the bottom of this cliffside. Having Sentinels to their top made it very easy to just put your back to this wall and allow Sentinels to deal with the threats behind them. They still have AG keeping an eye on them right now. 100 Thieves, Center Zone, playing off Rock here.

02:11:44 Oh, wir haben uns eine gute Idee, hier.

02:12:13 Oh, on NRG. Working with Sykes. He has to dodge that one. Gets clipped. And then Phony gets clipped as well. This is all gamers pushing. They're not going to make it. They'll be blinded a little bit. But they have just the right amount of an idea on where their enemies are. All gamers looking to finish off 100 Thieves. And they will. Zapto will get the final kill onto Jyn Burton. And now AG are in a pretty decent spot. Sentinels going up against NRG up on top. LG.

02:12:42 Waiting this out, not involved in the engagement, looking like a top two is almost secured for them. If they can play this right, Timmy goes into the drone, looking to maybe get a little bit of vision on top of that as he stays alive and all gamers just watching the chaos from afar.

02:12:56 Ja, NRG tried to just full send it on Sentinels there, did not work out. They didn't get the entry and so it's all up to me to try and keep this one alive for as long as possible in Drone right now. LG, they've got Sentinels above them, but they are damaged. All gamers will eventually have to be poked out from this wall, but it looks like they're just biding their time.

02:13:18 LG, AG, Sentinels resetting up top. Timmy somehow still alive in the middle of nowhere. They don't see him. They cannot see Timmy. He is staying alive right now. Boy, oh boy, it's not Saturday night. It's Sunday. But that's a good fever to have if he can keep it up. He hit the shield back just in time. It's a shield swap instead, actually. It's too fast. LG realize it. They want to play for first. They've dropped down to second because Sentinels have been that dominant. But it's all...

02:13:46 Allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz, die allgamerz,

02:14:15 Yeah, it feels like when I look at presence in this lobby, Sentinels certainly, you know, we haven't seen as much of them on screen, but we know we felt them in those final zones. We've seen a lot of LG in those final zones. All gamers as well. You know, earlier on it was CTE. We've seen early on Corinthians. But really, I think that all gamers have had the most impact.

All Gamers' Dominance and LG's Consistent Placement

02:14:38

02:14:38 in this lobby in terms of driving fights coming out on top being in good positions and it's it's put them in a spot where not only do they get this win here they're getting rewarded with taking games over spots where you're looking at well 100 thieves i mean they're on this mountain they've got high ground do they make a bad play there do they call trying to third party something sentinels as well as lg i mean sentinels was fighting nrg earlier on lg was on the bottom ground low ground could they have waited that out did they get a little too greedy trying to think this is

02:15:08 Bis zum nächsten Mal. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

02:15:23 LG und all-Gamers, die all vying for those top spots. We have different stakes there, right? For all-Gamers Global, they're pretty firmly in the top right now, and especially with a performance like that. They should be more than safe, making it their way into regional finals and mid-season finals. But for LG, the stakes are completely different. Right now, it's looking like they're playing old Classic Nocturnal, where they're trying to play center zone. They're not taking too many risks when it comes to a lot of these late-game positions.

02:15:52 Ich glaube, es ist auch der 2nd- oder 3rd-Place-Finisch, weil sie immer wieder auf die 3rd-Place-Finisch sind. Ich meine, was ist das? Die 3rd Endgame in a row, die LG haben sich in den Platz gelegt? Und es ist einfach nur die Patient-Player, die ich Nocturnal wirklich bringt für die Squad. Ja, und du kannst sehen, dass du ein BAD-Situation hast, oder ein Ried, das nicht wirklich in die Position mit...

02:16:15 Und das letzte Spiel war 2nd Platz. Und das ist eine Überraschung von 12 Kills und 13 Assists für alle Gamers.

02:16:29 One of the things that that tells me is maybe there is a bit of hesitation on what to do. I did notice that when NRG and Sentinels were fighting, there was that, well, should we wait? Do we have the confidence to just let this resolve and know we'll be in the right spot? Should we push? What does that look like in terms of LG finding their rhythm? Well, so far, so good, except in terms of kill points, kind of the anomaly, Jamerson, in our top four, considering that all the other teams have 20 plus kills. Either way, they're getting the job done here in third place, tied for second with Sentinels.

02:16:58 Rounding out our 1st place position.

02:17:23 They know that all we have to do is convert into top threes. And that's what they have been able to do almost, what, three maps in a row. So I'm glad. Again, we're seeing the very immediate benefit of having an IGL or someone who can call the ring and late games like this, like Nocturnal, being infused into LG and it is paying off in them right now. This should, if they continue to play like this in the next two maps, convert and make sure that they are able to play into the regional finals.

02:17:51 If you're watching alongside us or you have face it watches as well, you can go out the next couple of games and listen to LG's comms. We might even go into a listen in on our broadcast as well. We'd love to see how they're navigating these final zones. They're vying for first place, two points behind. Can they do it? What'll happen? Two more games left in our final day before regional finals coming up after this.

02:19:55 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.

02:20:11 Everyone game number four in the books. I'm coming back here with Jamerson. Got to kidnap you away from Rain Day because all gamers, they take the dub 12 KP. Also, we're one of the spots running that Crypto Watson composition, holding that position in a great fashion on the outskirts of Echo HQ. Yeah. What's that? Two games in a row or three games in a row where they're able to really utilize that Watson. I believe, yeah, it was match number two on Broken Moon when we had a Terraformer ending.

02:20:38 All right, where AG were able to, I think, secure second place for themselves. So they are doing fantastically. And honestly, with a position that they were able to earn for themselves effectively, right? With that rotation now from the southeast side swinging down, taking away that position from 100 Thieves forcefully, that was really nice for them. And we get to say goodbye to the Ballistic, as Ballistic was the legend that was most picked within that fourth map. So now getting set up for match number five.

02:21:05 The question comes for squads like CTE. Considering the fact that they were, I believe, the second spot to go out in that game for Lobby. They're one of the teams on the outskirts of the top 20 team relegation. So they definitely want to be able to secure the KP that they need. Looking at where they and even Team Orchid stand in the overall standing. Team Orchid having a total of 55 total points with 79 KP throughout the course of the split. And CTE being with 52 points and having...

02:21:34 Yeah, if it comes down to just that one game being the important difference maker for CT, it would be crazy because again, it was Match Day 7 for them where they got that final win. It was a 16 kill point win for them in Match Day 7. That really did put them into contention to avoid relegation. If that win, if the win here today in game number one is the difference maker, that would be crazy.

02:22:00 But of course, Carry On Top, if they can get themselves into the regional finals would be even better, but they still have so many teams in their way. LG being one of them, Orchid also very consistently putting points on the board basically every single game. So it is a hard earned one for them.

02:22:19 And looking at the most picked Legend for this game specifically, it's going to be the Pathfinder that will be unavailable for game number six, the final game in the lobby. But Jamerson, you know how much I love game five situations because at this point...

02:22:31 A lot of these teams are on the bottom end of the overall standings and maybe even at the bottom half of what this lobby is looking at too for B versus C. These squads know what they have to do differently now. There's only two games left to go. If they have to get aggressive, you have to hold position. If you rather prefer to get those placement points because you could be safe away from putting yourself at risk from getting that KP, then now is the time to do it here. Yeah, this is a huge opportunity for our winners from, or excuse me, for AG to try.

02:22:59 und machen das gleiche move. Aber für LG, wir waren sehr konsistente, die Placement Points zu stellen, dann wieder eine Ring nach dem hier an Devastated Ghost. Ich meine, Rain fragt mich, am Anfang der halben, was das bedeutet, Devastated Ghost für LG? Wir wissen, dass viele Ringen können, hier und LG werden, oder hoffentlich, werden das für eine zweite Spiel in einem Jahr.

02:23:24 ... ... ... ... ...

02:23:54 Schöpfei ist bereits auf der Rotate.

02:24:20 It seems like they might run into a little bit of friction here. Yeah, it's NRG still in Coastal Camp. But it's Corinthians right now fighting early off the rip for this early position. It's Furia and Fusions in the area right now. But it does seem like with the Watson setup, they'll be okay.

02:24:40 Helps it out. You can see the Survey Beacon Scan to know how many other teams are within the vicinity, where can they play from, or rather prevent other teams from moving up. And of course, with the Trident acting as some makeshift cover, Sentinel is going to be able to get the Care Pack 2 on top of it all. And Greg here is making their next move on where they want to rotate.

02:25:04 Aber es ist auch noch ein paar Kryptos, die wir in diesem Lobby haben können, mit einem Wandering Trinant in der Vicinität. Ja, das war CTE, auf uns. Ja, auf uns. Und sie werden nicht mehr davon haben. Aber ich habe die Möglichkeit, für die Sentinels. Und sie wussten, das könnte sein. Das ist ein Isolated Fight für sie. Das ist ein Isolated Fight, um gegen NRG zu sehen.

02:25:28 The eastern side of this zone right now, a lot of teams starting to move on and you can see that we got LG, we got Corinthians.

02:25:38 And again, it's about early positioning here. Unfortunately for a lot of these squads moving in so early on, there's not going to be as many opportunities here at Echo HQ and Devastated Coast. Even with the weapon meta the way that it is, just the sightlines don't afford you that opportunity to try and steal away some kill points. And because of how many teams we have stacked on top of each other, we're not going to see some early aggression either. It's really going to come down to a lot of these teams that try to slam onto a side. That will be the big catalyst for a lot of the team.

02:26:07 Ja.

02:26:33 Luckily for them the cat wall is gonna be enough just disengage from NRG NRG are trying to move to try and cut them off at the very least they're trying to find the off angles here fusions might even be able to look down on them and possibly even Furia lost out on Riley here and Carter and it looks like sentinels are about to drop as NRG just full swing onto this one sentinels started the first squad out here in game number five

02:26:59 You know, Energy being a little quiet throughout the day. Yes, they've been able to secure some KP here, but they also had the opportunity to maybe overtake the second seed from Falcons in the overall standings and currently just not doing enough to be able to secure that just yet. Of course, with these two games, anything could be possible here if they want to have that pop-off opportunity. This is how you started off with 18 squads after they were able to get that first wipe. They're still, of course, like in first place right now, right? And I think the plus 25 would put them over it.

02:27:27 But yeah, not having this solid game number five is going to make things very difficult heading into game number six. I mean, AG are right behind them with 43 points and LG as well, both at 43 points. So yeah, this is a huge opportunity for AG and LG to catch up at this point. But wow, wow, wow. Take a look at this zone. All the teams are staunchly in their positions down there at Echo HQ and at Devastated Coast.

02:27:56 We have a big pileup of teens coming down from that Launchpad site. Leave No Witnesses, Most Loved, All Gamers, NIP, Citadel, all barreling for that northeast side.

02:28:09 Ja, wenn...

02:28:37 The thing that I want to point out is that no one's actually playing off Tree and Rock in between Devastated Coast and Echo HQ right there along that mountainside. And I think that does really come down to the weapon meta right now. With so many G7 Scouts and 30-30s, while it can be a very strong spot with so many teams that can poke you from that angle with the current weapon meta, you just don't play it at all whatsoever. So it's kind of interesting to see how much of a no-man's land it is right there in the dead center of the zone right now.

02:29:04 Yeah, and how weapon metas, too, influence the positioning that you want to sit in, aside from where the zone is, too. Zynu being able to get that initial knock on to CTTG, and Koi dropping down to try to fully capitalize. Shopify, taking maybe a little bit too long, are just going to opt to go right back up onto the high ground here. They don't want to take the risk with another squad shooting at them from the distance. Yeah, I mean, for Shopify, they have nothing to lose, right?

02:29:29 In 2nd place right now, they've got energy right behind them, but they're not risking anything at this point. Again, I think just the prestige of being first in Americas is enough to kind of temper a lot of the aggression that we might see typically out of a knock like that, but for Shopify Rebellion...

02:29:46 Yeah, they are definitely looking to still have two solid games here. Game number five, game number six. This is definitely a game that they can win. If it pulls away from them, it could be a little bit difficult. They would have loved to have dealt with CTG, but that would have just left themselves open to so many third-party attempts, possibly from Leave No Witnesses, all gamers all coming in from that eastern side. Now here, though, with Omit, they are working their way into Echo HQ. A lot of that has been left open.

02:30:12 So they'll be able to walk freely up onto the upper catwalk of this area. Triple support composition right here. Devo in RKN's hand. Prowler in the other.

02:30:29 Ja, das ist was ich gesagt, da sind nicht viele Möglichkeiten von ECHO HQ.

02:30:57 Really find the line of sights to get damaged to try and sneak away some KP for VP. There was slow rotating from the eastern side. Right now they're stuck at launch pad. Got a few teams there on northeast side right now that are looking to continue to gatekeep them. All gamers are up there. Leave no witnesses as well playing that.

02:31:18 Das ist das Ziel, die wir hier in der South sind.

02:31:46 I think they'll be forced out of this position. And they're probably in one of the prime positions to try and sneak a lot of kills from the teams that will be rotating in from Echo HQ. And you highlighted NIP. They're by Pollen because they're about to get the Mythic Bin, actually. So they're going to be coming out, getting some great loot before making their rotate, either through that north side of the zone. It will be treacherous, honestly. And a Hail Mary evac will...

02:32:11 Not really Result properly looking at the way that a lot of these other spots are already situated. We highlighted Furia before and of course with Echo HQ being their POI, that's kind of the inevitable circumstance when you can't play objective and maybe get the KP or damage that you need depending on the weapon loadout that you're forced to rock. We saw them earlier that they were playing off that low ground over to the right side of Omid. And then other teams like CTE playing on the outskirts of that lone rock over to that south side. Villainous over to their north already predicting where that next zone pool is going to be.

02:32:40 Well, for CTE, that zone pulls down towards them. They're actually well within it, and so this is a huge opportunity. Playing off the rocks, the safety of the rocks in the Newcastle wall that they have set up to use the weaponry to try and sneak some kills away. It's a little bit difficult because a lot of this fighting is, of course, on that high ground. Eventually, when all the teams are going to be forced to drop down low, there's a huge opportunity for them. All gamers, though, trying to control on this side up against Leave No Witnesses.

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Wendungen im Apex Legends Pro League Match Day 9

02:33:08

02:33:08 Das kann eigentlich auch für eine Minute, wenn Levo No-Witnesses get's pinched in eine Situation wie diese. AG ist einfach nicht so, dass Levo No-Witnesses jetzt auf den anderen Seite ist. Das also allows Levo No-Witnesses zu vielleicht get involved in der Party ein bisschen late. Und mit Levo No-Witnesses jetzt auf Zynu, Shopify jetzt forced zu hangen in die Boxcar.

02:33:36 Ja, sie sind fine. Sie sind auf der High Ground, sie sind auf der Nacht. Aber ich bin froh, dass jemand von Virtus.Pro, wenn sie zwei Teams haben, hat sie die Möglichkeit, zu knocken jemanden. Hier für Eferia, sie werden können, um ein Teamfight zu gewinnen. Omit versucht, um die South Side zu gewinnen. Und sie werden absolut verabschiedet für Eferia. Sie brauchen diese Punkte. Sie haben nicht so gut gemacht. Hier ist VP, dass sie die Push machen.

02:34:03 Das war verrückt. Sie haben Omiten gewonnen. Sie wollen nur für eine bessere TOTAL-Match-Score gegen Leave-No-Witnesses. Sie sind noch in. Sie werden Elimitiert von VP auf der anderen Seite des Gebäude. Aber sie sind auch übernommen, Omiten hier selbst. Sie sehen uns jetzt an die Gruppe auf die Gruppe. Ja, sie haben die Mose-Loved hier. Aber es war so gut für sie, dass sie nicht mehr so gut für sie haben.

02:34:28 My goodness, Shopify Rebellion, helping out Most Love now. They've got the mad advantage. They can try and finish off Zack Mazur at the very least, but Lazer's taking a lot of damage from Lou on the side. Now it's down to a 2v2. We'll see if they can get a little bit more. It's Khoi once again, the third party from across the ways. That 30-30, we knew that they were going to leave out of that box cart with the zipline. Instead, with that 30-30, it has been causing chaos, griefing the fight that is happening over here now. NIP slide in.

02:34:56 Vayne, mit der Devo, es lässt es roar. Oh, looking on the other side. Breaking next, so he's forced to reload. Vayne now drops down, but Curve is right there to back him up. NIP are able to force their way into this. It does allow an opportunity for VP to try and regroup as a two-man. I don't know if they were able to secure the banner and get a rez here. Back over here at Echo HQ, though.

02:35:21 Got 100 Thieves, Furia all stacked on top of each other. LG making their move. Very similar to what they did in game number four. Before 100 Thieves, they cleared out a lot of this east, excuse me, western side. They've got Furia underneath them to deal with. And they'll be continually peppered by CTE who are playing inside of the zone right now. LG's positioning right now too. They got the death boxes at their feet. The cat wall being called in. 100 Thieves finding their stride this time around.

02:35:50 Boney ist endlich mit der KP 2, dass er es braucht. Total 8 KP throughout the course of the day. Backing away, now as the zone's about to close in. They've already used up that catwall, and they're currently staring down the barrel at Furia. Zone's closing in, but this is the slower side of the zone, so they do have a few extra seconds to work with. They're gonna start working their way to the north side, dropping right on top of NRG and LG as well. 100 Thieves now about to get sandwiched with the zone closing in behind them, though.

02:36:19 They're able to set up with this wall. Verholz has another ready to go as he's holding it down. But it looks like AG are getting into a fight up against Shopify Rebellion on the eastern edge. All this action is breaking down on the west. We'll see who comes out on top. Here's AG making their move with that Pathfinder. But Zap will get knocked. Dropped is down to no HP. Citadel Gaming will barrel ahead and take them out.

02:36:43 Future almost lost that, and he was one right in front of him, but they survived. He survived with one HP, and now Furia stay alive, too. 100 Thieves get eliminated. They could not hold it down right underneath before getting pinched. Now it's LG at the bottom of the stairs right now. Furia, though, moving past just to reset. Keon needs to hit that bat. You can see LG trying to set up for themselves for NIP resetting here on the northeast side of the zone.

02:37:11 They're fairly free, getting a little bit challenged by Unleashed. Nice little knock there from Karev. And now Furia. They've got LG right underneath them. They want to finish them off. These isolated fights from each corner of this zone while it closes in the next 50 seconds. Madness still staring down from the high ground. Catwalk called in from LG right below, but everybody are taking shots at LG, including Furia, including Citadel, CTE, who are the only team inside that next zone.

02:37:40 Yeah, CTE are looking at this. Two members are on it this entire time, so I'm surprised no one from Furia is actually taking damage from that. Madness does get cracked and they are forced back. Fortunately, though...

02:37:50 They're just not able to find that opening to try and knock out LG. It's seven squads remaining. You can see Unleashed are keeping an eye on them. And this is the biggest thing right now. Because of the pressure from Unleashed, Furion aren't able to full send it. You can see the whole Newcastle wall being set up. And they can't even peek on over. This becomes a very difficult spot. As it looked like Unleashed.

02:38:13 Might just force all three teams to go down here. CTE are continuing to keep an eye on things here. But no real pressure is being applied. And so CTE will just wait things out. And while Furrier are able to get some of these knocks, they can't give up the high ground just yet. Now that the zone starts to close in, though, you see Zipline for Zipline from each angle of that zone. NIP looking at Villainous. The NIP holding onto high ground here, too.

02:38:37 Knuckle close up from Furia also gonna be able to get that knock on to LG as they are being focused by so many other players and NIP with the Bocek, with the Devo, he needs some ammo to work off of LG, get eliminated, five squads left and it is only madness left from Furia. Yeah, Unleash move, Center Zone giving that freedom up to Furia to be able to finally take that fight up against LG. Mobile Respawn Beacon down and it is plugged in for Keon, but how safe...

02:39:02 Will it be? NIP moving in from the north hand side. They do have an angle onto it right now. As Fury are getting full sense from NIP. And it's all up to Vayne to try and keep them alive. Secure a little bit more placement points for themselves. You can see CTE are trying to hold out here. As Unleashed are peeking that angle. They've got J. Back up on his feet in just a second. Chase Mob just holding down that angle with the Devo.

02:39:29 Und das wird genug für den Reset, als Führer wird Eliminatet.

02:39:55 CTE haben keine Konfirmation, es ist ein 2-man, aber sie fühlen sich ein bisschen mehr mit der Zone zu Ende. Sie haben nicht die Probleme, sie haben die Utilität zu Ende. So CTE sind jetzt nur die Zeit. Wall, Down, Chasemob almost hat die Sparrow-Ultz bereit. Und Kruelbuckle, einfach nur die Angle von der Backline. Das ist alles für Citadel Gaming, wenn sie finden, aber es ist ein 2-v-3, es ist ein schwieriges Task. CTE might secure ihre Spot in Top 20.

02:40:23 Let's see, calm before the storm, while CTE desperately needs this win. Jey loses it on his shield. Cruel buckle, one shot, and following up with the G7 Hipfire Sox, CTE take the dub. A team that was sitting at 22nd before the day, on the cusp of being regulated, are currently now sitting with that dub.

CTE's Überraschungssieg und die Auswirkungen auf die Rangliste

02:40:45

02:40:45 That's a huge performance coming out from CTE. It's not the highest fragging game whatsoever. They played very much central zone. They had the zone pulling down towards them. But points are points. A plus 12, you take that, especially after your game one win. I think they only put on one point in the last three games before that. So this is huge for them. Like you had mentioned, for the team that was tied 22nd with Omit on top of the day.

02:41:12 Now, they get to leapfrog themselves a little bit more forward, make that so much more comfortable, even put themselves really into contention to make it into the regional finals.

02:41:22 Man, if it was one dub where they got double-digit KP with 12 KP, and now this dub around for game number five, where they were able to secure 5 KP and the dub again. Only team to win two games throughout the course of the day here. As we take a look at Citadel, also with 5 KP, unleashed with 4 KP. It was chaos, though, for a lot of the squads that had to come in from that Echo HQ side, out in the open where there was little to no cover, really only the Pathfinder that was there to help close in that gap. You don't have Villisic anymore. You'd really have...

02:41:52 Ja, du hast es gesehen, Chasemob mit dem...

02:42:06 So, this is a huge swing now CTE are I think about to overtake them and at least for Citadel Gaming they were able to get a decent finish

02:42:36 Hier in this game keep themselves within contention. It's still very difficult. You can see they are currently in 15th place in the lobby with 20 points. They have a very very big uphill struggle ahead of them. They need like a 25 point game here to try and catch up with CTE.

02:42:52 Although, where you highlighted where Citadel was before the day started, sitting in 20th place and looking at the performance in that game alone, I believe that also pushes Omit into the relegation spot. So with only one game to go, Omit are in some trouble. Yeah, I, oh man, I was trying to, there was so, like, there's so many things that you're trying to.

02:43:14 Compreyent at the same time. I was trying to see where Unleashed were, where Corinthians were, because again, these teams right here on the bubble, there are so many trailing behind that a swing in any way can keep them alive in Pro League. So we'll check in on that on the break, but I mean, there's just so much going on. Game number six is going to be pure chaos. I cannot wait to see the action that goes on for our final game here within the Americas region for groups B versus C. Don't go anywhere. It's coming to you on the other side of the screen.

02:43:51 GHS-BOOM haben wir noch zwei. Die GHS-BOOM haben wir noch 15. Die GHS-BOOM haben wir noch nicht. Das ist aber auch nicht. Das ist aber auch nicht. Das ist aber auch nicht. Das ist aber auch nicht. Das ist aber auch nicht. Das ist auch nicht. Das ist auch nicht. Das ist auch nicht. Das ist auch nicht. Das ist auch nicht. Das ist auch nicht.

02:44:18 Heute haben wir schon wieder einen Champion. Heute haben wir noch einen Champion, oder?

02:44:27 3-2.

02:44:57 Das ist einfach nur auf dem SDI-Divotion. Die Divotion ist totaler. Die Divotion ist totaler. Die Divotion ist totaler.

02:45:12 Das ist die Armee. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI. Der SBI ist der SBI.

02:45:41 Kinoer hat er gespielt! Ich weiß nicht, aber ich weiß nicht. Ernev hat er gespielt. Er hat er noch einen Rettung. Er hat er noch einen Rettung. Er hat er noch einen Rettung. Er hat er noch einen Rettung. Er hat er noch einen Rettung.

02:46:11 1 vs 1!

Turbulente Schlussphase und strategische Analysen des Spiels

02:46:30

02:46:30 Welcome back, everyone. One more game to go here within our Groups B versus C. And after reviewing the overall standings right now, the updated overall standings, NRG are one point away from overtaking that second seed from Falcons. But let's go back at that final circle, because it was chaotic for the teams that were forced out into the Open, the teams that were forced to really take that Hail Mary zipline, praying that they won't get taken out before they get to their destination.

02:46:58 Yeah, whether it was from the west or from the ECTE, we're just sitting smack dab in the middle awaiting all this action and for the placement points to really just come their way. And honestly, no one really expected this one to pull so far out into the open like that. I don't know the last time I saw a zone like that, but you can see all the teams just scrambling for every last bit of KP that they get because they knew that it was pretty much impossible with a team ever.

02:47:27 Das enttrennt als sie waren, CTE hier in der SOUTH SIDE, zu wirklich gehen, das Positionen weg von ihnen und die winnen. Ja, es war big hier. Lonely Island, too, als NIP tried to stay alive, bevor sie in Eberle were taken out, als well. Holding onto das Positionen von CTE war big. Even bigger, dass sie able to prevent andere Squads von pushen auf dem hier, als CTG warst, und mit diesen Kracks, sie waren able zu kommen und das winnen. Ja.

02:47:56 Man, das war ein huge, huge win für CTE, die wirklich lose steam in den Matches 2-4, nach der 24-point win in Game 1. Und das war eine große Sphäre für sie, weil es war, es war, dass es sich so aus der Grasse zu kommen, und Avoiding Relegation became eine Frage. Jetzt, es scheint, dass sie in ein ziemlich guter Platz sind, dass, wenn sie hier in Game 6 passieren, sie werden mit ihren Händen geholfen, mit ihren Händen geholfen, auf der sehr wenigsten.

02:48:27 Let's ramp it up here for game number six. The last chance opportunity for some of our squads to prevent themselves from being relegated into the challenger circuit. Bangalore being the most picked legend for this final game. Something to note for the teams that will find a little bit more comfort depending on where these zone pools are going to be taking us in Storm Point. But even better for the teams that may have little to no cover to work off of.

02:48:53 Yeah, no surprises there with the Pathfinder now gone, like you had mentioned, but these overall legend bands. Echoing a little bit at the beginning of what we saw in EMEA and then taking a huge, huge turn, right? Because, well, we had Fuse, Sparrow in match number three and four for EMEA, but it's been drastically different here in North America.

02:49:16 But that does, of course, leave the Sparrow open here for game number six. We saw some smatterings of it. It does look like a few more teams ended up picking up, but just not as popular as it is in EMEA. Which is interesting, too, right? Because then you imagine, you know, we only have three Waltons in the lobby. That ult really providing...

02:49:35 We also got treated to this, I believe.

02:50:04 Was it yesterday or was it Match Day 7? I can't quite remember. Some of these are kind of, these days are bleeding in together. But you can see that Citadel Gaming are trying to move a little bit more central right now. They got Orchid in the way. You got Unleashed as well. So a lot of these teams are playing for that power position off the lift. But it looks like CTG are forced back. And it was Orchid who were able to move just in time to cut them off.

02:50:30 Tutorial Gaming. Taking a little bit of damage. Trying to wrap around.

02:50:36 Ja, Most Love is one of the squads that are chasing, avoiding relegation.

02:51:05 Und sie brauchen eine Monster-Game hier, wirklich, um sie zu leben. Wir sehen. Es ist so schwierig zu versuchen, all die Mathen zu tun. Es ist so schwierig, mit der Catalyst-SQ zu tun. Es ist so schwierig, mit der Catalyst-SQ zu tun. Es ist so schwierig, mit der Catalyst-SQ zu tun. Ja, es ist so schwierig, wie die EQ-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave-Wave

02:51:32 Hasn't even been able to heal up as he's trying to make his way up that hill right now. But MT and Koiful really far behind. Not able to chase this quite yet. Shopify Rebellion might not be able to cut off LG. But NRG can as Gilderson shows for this. Getting that first knock here. Until Knock does Shopify move up. See the EMP right in front of them. Coming in at the perfect time to get involved here. Gets the next knock onto Naughty.

02:52:01 3P, der Invite must have gotten lost in the mail as they try to rally up from behind NRG. Take this isolated fight for right now over to the southeastern side.

02:52:12 Both for NRG and Shopify Rebellion. Their performance here really is more about securing a really good spot for themselves when it comes to mid-season finals. Excuse me, the regional finals. They want to have that better draft for themselves. So they are chasing out these kills. Nocturnal, ooh, caught out there. But the smoke will keep them alive for the time being. But it's just for the time being. It's just a matter of time before he gets chased down. And LG will go down. That's going to be Guild.

02:52:42 Das war mit dem ersten Knopf, Gonsanok zu Endeffekt. Lgr ist es, aber sie haben genug heute, um sichere einen Platz zu haben. Ich meine, sie sind jetzt in 1st Platz, aber sie haben viele Teams hinter dem, wie CTE, das kann aufhören.

02:53:00 Das war mit LGA 2, obwohl sie die Pack nicht gewonnen haben, aber sie haben noch viel Kp bekommen. Und das ist mit NRG. Sie hat es auf den Nrg gefühlt, zu dem, zu dem, Ignoring Chopify, die wir jetzt versuchen, zu retten, sich im Haus zu retten. Hier ist Villainess, die Bunker-Doors, zu halten. Ich glaube, es ist Korinthienz auf dem anderen Seite der Command-Center-Vault. Es ist ein ziemlich isolierter Fight, too. Nicht so viele Teams kommen in von der Souten-Side. Sie sehen, dass viele Teams haben ihren Weg gemacht.

02:53:28 Over towards that wall side, over towards that checkpoint area, Cascade Falls. And so they do have a lot of time to work with here for Villainous. And again, they're in a position where, because the top of the leaderboard isn't that high up, right? First place is 49 points. Villainous, with a win, can take the win on the day.

02:53:49 What a story that would be here. Vinlis holding this position right now, too. Looking great in terms of loot. Those Purple Evil Shields ready to go, too. Sends out the Catalyst Spikes. Corinthians also have no issue just waiting patiently here, too. There could be another team that could wrap up on the other side of Command Center, as there is also a Ring Console there, but they could deny this information from other teams to try to gatekeep them here. Yeah, for Corinthians, it's just purely a waiting game. A lot of today has been a purely waiting game where...

02:54:17 They try to move in center zone very early on. Fortunately, haven't been able to dissuade a lot of teams rotating in from the edges here. But for Corinthians, we'll see. Again, a squad that I think might just get relegated. It's really difficult to call because of how close the points started off at the beginning of the day, right? With CTE and Omit tied at 38 points in the overall standings. Then you had Corinthians with 30. So I don't know how the math actually breaks down here.

02:54:46 Ich denke, es ist noch eine Chance für sie zu bleiben und zu vermeiden.

02:55:05 Game 6, Mad Maggie. No surprises here coming up from Omid, since we're not gonna get the full support Legend pick up here. But this is the kind of aggression that I kind of was expecting out of Omid throughout the beginning of the day. But it's coming in game number 6, and you know what? I still welcome it. Better late than never, I can always say here, but you have to avoid these nades creating so much space, deleting Arkea, and Shield Sang's the only one.

02:55:30 More than healthy to try to provide that suppress fire. Nice quick shield swap, it looked like as well from RKN. Cat Spikes for days, by the way. These Cat Spikes have been there forever from the first fight that we got to see. But Omit backing away in time. Awoke getting res here even bigger for this reset. Ooh, but the nade from Seng re-gets the knock here onto Awoke. Yeah, we'll see if they can try and full commit onto this one.

02:55:54 They knocked down Laser, and I think they're just happy to secure these thurs. They know that the third party is coming, so they can't overextend onto this one, even though they want to get aggressive. But for now, they'll just bide their time. They got the teamfight win. They can still continue to put the pressure onto the teams here on the western edge and still play for the KP.

02:56:13 They're not overextending. They're not just showing their hand. They're going to go ahead and slow things down at the very least here. They have more teams that are rotating in from the southwest side. Eventually, it looks like CTE, Sentinels, a few others are coming in from this angle, so they'll have their opportunities to fight. Four Corinthians, though.

02:56:32 They have poked their head out just to see who's coming in rotating from the southern side. It is Fusions. Shopify Rebellion are also slow rotating in from that Stormcatcher side. So Corinthians have to keep an eye on it. And it looks like they spot him out possibly just in time.

02:56:46 Good call there, too. Holding that position without overextending versus Fusion, without giving up that space on the mouth side of Command Center. Most Love are able to get the respawn, too, on Awoke and Lazer. Shopify backing away now. Seeing they did hear the fight, maybe the 30-30 shots from the distance earlier on.

02:57:06 Saying that there's nobody engaging, they back away from Stormcatcher, may want to just wrap around entirely into the south side of this next zone, where they could actually approach utilizing the Survey Beacon over to the south side of where Fusion was spotted in, as well as through Cascades Falls, where there's another Server Beacon. Yeah, we do have another team rotating in that way, though. It's going to be Furia that might cut them off just in time, moving forward with what looks to be a Trident for Unleashed, though.

02:57:33 Holding dead center of the zone. All about trying to pick up whatever KP they can. They've got the weaponry for it. The Sentinel in the hands of Legatron. Imagine that Dig along with Vlorzy. Have the long-range weapons to try and steal some KP away. But unfortunately for them, so much of the fighting are on the edges of the zone right now. So they just don't have that opportunity. CTE though. Now in a fight up against Omid. Purples on either side. But it's Cruel Buckle that gets the initial damage out. The Stinger Bolt will force them back.

02:58:02 Und Schaesmopp, die viel von der Flank von Seng ist. Es ist ein 1-for-1-Exchange, aber sie haben sich geöffnet. Good Awareness von Krulbuckle, so er kann man einen Suppress-Fire geben. Even mit der Havoc, er hat die Havoc gewechselt, mit der Karr. Er hat nur einen Siegel-Shot, leaving Cody-One. Er hat die Spikes, das alles braucht, als Omic geteilt. Er ist 18th für CTE, für Krulbuckle.

02:58:29 And they stop Omit's opportunity from even trying to catch up with what CTE have been able to do. Two wins on the day now.

02:58:38 Und jetzt geht es um, dass wir hier ein bisschen mehr machen können. Aber sie haben viel ZD, aber sie haben viele ZD. Sie haben Mostlove. Sie haben sie gerade im Moment, und hier ist die Peek. Oh, Wooppe! Sie haben noch eine Chance, als Lazer geht, und wir sehen, dass sie ein bisschen mehr machen können. Sie müssen noch ein bisschen mehr machen können. Sie müssen noch ein paar Sachen kommen in von hinterher. Und sie werden sich nicht überlegen, dass sie sich nicht überlegen, dass sie sich nicht überlegen.

02:59:01 It is so congested over to the outskirts of this southeastern side. And then while all these squads were looking to engage, maybe 3P or 4P, the Mythic Finn spawns on the outskirts of where Fusion was holding. So both NRG and Fusion, they back away 100 Thieves. Lovely, our nine shots. And then the follow from Phony on the bow check as Jen holds onto the high ground. Look at this cat wall, the way it's traveled. Uphill here, just to get awareness as well and to get out of the line of sight of the other squads that may be coming in from the north side of that hill.

02:59:30 Villainous end up getting eliminated here, but they should be fairly safe with the performance that they had. Again, it's difficult to call with so many teams still alive, like Orchid, like CTE. I can't try and overtake them here. Sentinels going down. No real stakes there for Sentinels, but they are now down. We have reached placement point territory. 15 squads remaining here as NIP starting to turn the screws on. They were able to take out Kings. We'll see if they can get a little bit more.

02:59:59 Was I'm being activated Faye now moving up and if he's finding themselves in the outskirts of the command center vault where we saw villainous there earlier Looking at the squads right in front of them who were maybe have already taken over that building where that survey beacon usually is that's gonna be team orchid that have not left in that positioning same thing could be said about unleash a lot of poke pressure done from both these squads as most love also make their move to hear an evac tower out in the distance This is very important like you had mentioned orchid their center zone for them to survive

03:00:28 Das war's für den letzten Punkt. Sie starten auf den Tag mit 19. Overall, für Most Love. Sie brauchen eine große Banger-Gain. Sie brauchen 45 Punkte von diesem Punkt. So sie brauchen jeden kill zu kommen. Diese Kampf gegen NRG wird schwierig. Wir haben Feria in der Nähe. Wir haben Schoppa 5 Rebellion. CTE ist auch von der Norden.

03:00:52 It's just one member of Furia, though, trying to run for their life while Shopify, Fusion, and even NRG are currently looking at that solo. Most love hoping.

03:01:00 Das mit dieser Distraction kann sie auf den leften Seite von NRG gehen, aber sie werden nicht isoliert, denn CTE ist auch auf die Cluster von der Exit Point von Cascade Falls. Mose Love jetzt slide in. Dynatsi, left One-Shot. Leser, also One-Shot hier, too. Dynatsi get's taken out, und so does die Rest of Mose Love. NRG, weil sie sich nicht in der Lage sind, das ist der Greenlight für CTE zu gehen, um die andere Seite der Evil Harvester zu gehen. Shopify Rebellion tried zu getrennt, aber in der Confusion, Furia, wir able to...

03:01:29 To at least survive Noct. 13th, 12th. Oh, unfortunate for Furia. Going down here. But that does leave us with 12 squads remaining. And this pileup on the southern side is being absolutely brutal for the teams that just were not able to move in time. We had a lot of friction there. A lot of fighting CTE.

03:01:51 Still finding opportunities here on the edges to get some damage off. But now they really have to start worrying about the rotating. This ring continually pull up towards that wall side and actually does favor the wall over the lift. And so it's teams like Leave No Witnesses, All Gamers Global that find themselves basically in the center of the zone. And they're just working with the natural terrain to keep the teams out from the western and the eastern edges.

03:02:16 And it also looked like right there too, with Timmy just trying to hide inside that Crypto Drone, the Sparrow Tracker Dart exposing where he was positioned to. Another look at how Sparrow could provide that intel for any pesky Cryptos in the lobby looking to stay invisible. It's really nice the kind of passive that helps with the Recon Dart, right? Because we see it littered all across the maps when so many more Sparrow teams are being played. It's not as much...

03:02:45 Hier in the Americas region, but we still have a decent amount of it. I think 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Sparrows still alive in this lobby. Here now, as the fight to get through, this trove commences. 100 Thieves for to take the Evac Tower. They had double Evac Tower, though, just so that way they can navigate around. Have teams focus on one or the other here. Drop getting a big knock, too, onto Slayer.

03:03:09 Looking to get involved is Unleashed. They have been inside this building from the very beginning. Still on full blue Evo Chosen. The same can be said about Citadel Gaming. Yeah, for Citadel Gaming. Gonna be a tough fight. Leave No Witnesses, though, have split their attention with the aggression that was happening on the northeast side. But it looks like All Gamers Global will be able to deal with the VP. And so now Leave No Witnesses can just all three-man peek over towards CTG. But they are set up with their walls.

03:03:37 As we have about five teams collapsing here on the southwest side. Volorzy ends up going down to Fusions who are playing outside the building right now. CTE are able to secure a spot on the other side of this wall. 100 Thieves going for the peak. That's going to be two down. Cruel Buckle, the only one up. And that is CTE Unlimited, but I think their job is done. I think they've done it to be able to secure a spot for themselves. We'll see if it's enough, though, to secure a spot in the regional finals.

03:04:04 Even better for 100 Thieves to get extra KP to their name. CTG are the next victims, it looks like. As Blaze is also the other perpetrator here in getting that knock onto Pluto. Team Orchid from inside Fusion from the outskirts of the other side of this building that 100 Thieves is currently holding. Yeah, Orchid, Fusion all stacked up here. Citadel Gaming just trying their best to survive. We'll see how much longer.

03:04:29 Future can survive for, but this is a difficult one. Seven squads alive, all full. You got Leave No Witnesses right above them. You got two teams stacked on top of each other to your south right now. And I think they sense it. Leave No Witnesses are going to look to try and finish things off. But 100 Thieves are taking this fight up against Orkin.

03:04:46 100-Date sound trying to peek through the stairwell here. Luxward was caught out of position, though. Following up, Verlz is able to get that initial knock here. Phony follows up, swings together, and Team Orchid get eliminated. Nice teamfight potential here for 100 Thieves in that 3v3. NIP throughout all this made the aggressive push onto All Gamers Global and actually take out two to care their spot here on the eastern side. Fusion slow rotating in from the south side. NIP have the angles with that Kraber.

03:05:14 Three shots to make a difference. Leave no witnesses. Still left on Blue Armors. That next shot misses. Makurev does not as he gets the knock on Zell with that bow check and the finish. This is all NIP. It's gonna come down to 100 Thieves and Fusion. Can they stay healthy on this Rotate Up?

03:05:31 They've claimed their space here on top of Pryrock, also looking at Leave No Witness over to the other side. NIP holding a split angle to prevent Fusion from walking up. 100 Thieves are gonna fixate on Fusion first, and NIP have to make sure that 100 Thieves don't get the opportunity to reset, while Leave No Witness still playing things out here on that Northwestern side as a duo. 100 Thieves are able to clear out Fusions without taking any losses themselves, so it's gonna be a 3v3v2 here for Leave No Witness, who were not able.

03:05:58 ...to get a Mobile Respawn Beacon down. They had an opportunity, but they're just gonna make the push for the second-place finish. Arena Tricky does some damage, but he backs away. Now it's all N.I.P. to try and finish things off. Oh, they fully sent it, but because they went to Grief 100 Thieves, this is just a green light for N.I.P. to walk up with the Devo current, but the final melee hit as N.I.P. are your champions for free, taking that game number six in terms of their positioning.

NIP's Triumph und die finalen Wertungen der Pro League

03:06:24

03:06:24 And it's not just taking the game. They might have taken the day NIP. A lot of KP in this game. They might have secured that first place, that plus 25. Great game coming out from them to finish things out here in game number six.

03:06:40 How is it, Jamerson? All the teams that we usually end up talking about in the pre-show, the teams that we always have to highlight here with the stakes at hand, we're talking about NIP being in that middle of the pack here. They had one more day, obviously, to play, and they came out and they performed. What a beautiful way to end the day winning that Game 6. Well, you know, you know, can't take all the credit because production kind of told us which teams we're going to talk about, and I don't know. I don't know what it is. Doug and everyone behind the scenes are just so good at just giving us the right teams.

03:07:09 Honestly, it looks like the scriptwriters are making things a little bit easier for us, but what isn't easy is trying to come up with the overall scores because there's so much room for movement. We had, at the beginning of the day, teams like Orchid, Citadel, LG, CTE, Omit, all there on the bubble, all having varying degrees of success throughout the day that could be huge difference makers in the overall standings.

03:07:34 I want to bring back Rain Day 2, because after the action that we just witnessed within that final game, NIP holding that position uncontested over to that northeastern side, rather northwestern side, allowed them to patiently just look on, leave no witness, just a duo. All right, that's fine. We just walk up for free.

03:07:49 Yeah, I mean, Leave No Witness is a team that has been grinding into these situations to work through the split, have a chance to keep on going, to stay out of relegation, to stay in the mix for playoffs. It's easier said than done. And teams like NIP, whether you look at just having the ability with Raven coaching, the stability of the org, just the energy that can come from that and some of the quality players that we know are there, it is just difficult.

03:08:15 Difficult, difficult to climb that mountain each and every time. But, you know, a lot of our teams do end up making it. A lot of our teams have those final moments that secure what could be a change in their destiny. There's been a Twitter X kind of thing happening lately where it's been, what's the one moment that happened in your life, in your career that made the difference? As you look back, that one email, that one call, that one fight, if you're an Apex Legends pro, well, maybe it's that one point.

03:08:43 oder das 1-Game, das wird die Unterschiede hier sein. Die Stande ist sicherlich zu kommen, sehr schnell hier. Als wir jetzt auf unsere Match Resultate gehen, ist es sehr spannend. Und NIP, das 100 Thieves auch. Bounsing to Form, Leave No Witness. Wow, sie wirklich versucht es zu machen. Obviamente, das Team ist sehr nahe zu der Edge.

03:09:08 Starting in 24th, a position of relegation, 36 points, trying to make it into 40 points. Essentially climb four points of a difference above Citadel, above CTE, above Luminosity. We have a pretty good idea that it was not CTE that they climbed above, but did they do the other things? Did they get above Citadel Gaming? Did they get above Luminosity? You can see Luminosity a little bit ahead of them.

03:09:33 So we'll have to go overall and figure it out. But guys, NIP with 70, 100 Thieves, 61 All Gamers, CTE with 50 points. A team that had a Cinderella story, a 15th place finish, a 19th place finish, a 13th place finish, a 10th place, and a 15th yet again, or in a 5th.

03:09:57 Could they do it in their last two series and somehow find a way to get in the regional finals, keep the dream of qualifying for playoffs alive? Did they do enough? Well, let's find out. Our overall standings, CTE have made it, and so have Team Orchid on a tiebreak with Forbidden Gaming.

03:10:22 who started the day in 17th place. Orchid have climbed up from 19th and 9 points down and climbed above them on a tiebreak, guys. Vicky, this is that Cinderella story. This could be that moment.

03:10:39 for Orchid and CTE and especially LG here going forward. I cannot believe it. I always get super excited looking at the end results of Pro League because it's what allows you to highlight these stakes. But then I'm also always sad whenever we reach an end of a split too because you know me, I'm always ready for more Apex. But then we have matches like this. Then we get to see teams really shake up on overall standings. NRG climbing to the top, winning the tiebreaker. Now sitting in the first seed after we were highlighting their rather lackluster.

03:11:08 der Start of the day, now completely turning things around on Stormpoint. I mean, it's a massive thing for NRG. It is, you know, it's to me, again, Falcons feel good. Shopify Rebellion know if they're in the lobby, they can get it done. NRG still was something to prove out of those teams, I think. And so that is definitely where the energy has gone. But I mean, Jamerson, I mean, this just proves that tiebreak. Forbidden Gaming and what we saw with CTE, unbelievable.

03:11:35 Es war 52-52. Die Unterschiede war die overalls matchscore. 189 versus 171. Als wir uns auf unsere Sony End-Zone Kill Leaderboard mit McLovin leidt auf. Ich meine, es bedeutet, dass jeder Kill, jeder Moment, Jamerson, ist das wichtig. Das kann sich entscheiden, ob du in den Region Finals hast, ob du für die Chance hast oder nicht. Ja, die Performance auf den Tag, der huge Differenz-Maker ist absoluten. Es war so viel auf die Linie für so viele verschiedene Teams. Es war wirklich schwierig.

03:12:05 So, they avoid relegation, but they do not make it into regional finals.

03:12:34 But still, they're alive. They're alive. That's the important thing. That's right. And, you know, it was thanks to the way the lobby went today. And the lobby certainly went the way of NIP as far as kills. McLovin showing us why that Hawaii driver's license has stayed in our hearts for so many years ever since it was introduced. And now doing well by the name. NIP, fourth place overall in North America. I mean, that is a statement for sure. I mean, you look at NRG, Falcon, Shopify, Rebellion, all gamers.

03:13:03 TSM and 100 Thieves around them. This is a squad that, you know, feels like they have the right backing, Vicky, to do what they really need to do and be successful here heading into regional finals. Absolutely. You know, and you see the Cinderella stories for so many squads in the topic that I'm excited to really see how that's going to influence the regional finals on top of it all. And just another, you know, awareness for those wanting to know, on that top side, it was 97-97, NRG and Falcons.

03:13:29 The total match score is what is the overall tiebreak for a team that's tied. Funny enough, Shopify Rebellion, who were in third, they had a higher overall match score than Falcons, but it was 3-0-7.

03:13:42 ...to 296 in favor of NRG, that ultimately led them to be ahead of Falcons in this. As we take a look at this, I know we didn't get a lot of time on this exact graphic. Jamerson, I want to get your thoughts as you get a chance to speak over the overall scoreboard. What stands out to you? You said it. Stories at the top and at the bottom. And of course, relegation as well. Yeah, especially after the performance from Falcons at the ALGS Open, right? We're expecting them to absolutely dominate here in America.

03:14:11 Das ist nicht der Fall. Ich bin glücklich, dass wir nicht nur drei, aber vier, vielleicht sogar fünf Top Dogs hier haben, mit A.G. auch ein sehr guter Tag, mit dem Spiel mit 89 Punkten. Aber sie sind in der Relegation Area, Leave-No-Witnesses, die zwei Punkte über CTG, die auch in der Lobby sind. Das letzte Spiel war der Difference-Maker für die beiden squads, und insbesondere für Leave-No-Witnesses. Sie sind auch in der Ende.

03:14:41 I mean, you have to imagine they breathed a huge sigh of relief when they saw this overall scoreboard.

03:14:47 Und dann ist es 79. Und dann ist es 79.

03:15:17 Overall, it seems like 79-80, that's the magic number. So Twisted Minds and Crooks, and we're not quite there yet. I mean, you know, 13th or better, they'll be there, but they can't have a dud, that's for sure. Regional Finals is going to be intense.

03:15:30 Oh yeah, most definitely. And also looking at the fact that we had already welcomed like what, three teams or so into EWC and now being able to see even more squads have that pop-off opportunity for today to also sit alongside their compatriots. And it's going to be crazy already seeing the level of competition and ready with the changes with the legend bands that we've implemented, how that's basically forced a lot of these teams to learn how to evolve around that plus the different map rotations. Yeah, and it's no longer, you know, the open. We are going to obviously have a match point zone, but these teams, they've been playing with each other.

03:16:00 There's no kind of twerkaholics element that I would say, Jamerson, that in our open match point finals was really something a lot of these teams were considering. Is this team that is not in these lobbies, is not in this league, and has a totally different style, something that now that I'm landing next to them, now that we're dropping next to them, I have to pay attention to? That's taking hours, that's taking conversations away from how they know how to play this game. This is now going to be a lobby of teams that are very, very familiar with each other across nine weeks of the split.

03:16:28 And are going to be going into regional finals with a plan and knowing exactly what they have to do to qualify, creating even higher stakes. But also, again, the difference being, and I want to bring it back, Jamerson, it's this idea that these points are worth more. So yes, first place is guaranteed, but second place, third place, these are worth well more. So there is a chance to leapfrog more so than ever heading into next weekend. Yeah, again, the stakes.

03:16:56 Es ist nicht so dire für viele squads hier, insbesondere für Amerikas, weil wir so viele Schlots haben. Und also, gerade jetzt, so viele Teams haben bereits punched ihre Ticket in für die Mid-Season Finals. Aber gerade da, an der BOTTOM, für die Final Few Spots, es ist so incredibly close in terms of die overall split, in terms of die Punkte.

03:17:18 There is a world where Orchid can definitely secure a spot with a win into the midseason finals. Any of the squads in the bottom four actually have an opportunity flat. LG, CTE, and Team Orchid particularly don't see too many of these squads playing very highly aggressively, like you had mentioned, like having the unknown factors, the wildcard factors of squads like Twerkaholics. But I think now that a lot more of that pressure is alleviated, there might be some freedom for some of those squads to play a little bit more aggressively.

03:17:48 Well, it's a great analysis, guys. I know that you guys won't be there next weekend, but we will be seeing you at midseason. I know you'll be watching, probably tweeting along. One of the most exciting things about it, though, is to kind of culminate what has been a great nine days heading into that. So as we wrap up Americas, we've got a regional final set for EMEA and NA. Vicky, I'll start with you. Any final thoughts on the split so far? And anything maybe to look ahead for in terms of what next Sunday might hold?

03:18:17 You can't get rid of me because I'm going to be there. So I can't wait to see the regional final as well. And how that's going to play out all together. But I feel like if anything, with regional final, you also have to think about the...

03:18:30 We saw it be detrimental in today's games with some legends not being available on Stormpoint. How will that come into play looking at a Matchpoint Finals? And I feel like if anything, what we already saw displayed between Team Orchid and even Forbidden that couldn't play today here, they weren't in this lobby. Missing

03:18:59 by just a tiebreaker where Team Orchid have snuck their way into the top 20, this should highlight how close in competition, even the bottom, medium and middle pack and in the top end teams, looking at the way that NRG had been able to play today to sneak by and take that first seed, what we have in store for us in a lobby like that. Yeah, you know, Orchid and obviously Forbidden Gaming, that is like both sides of elation and despair.

03:19:26 You gotta feel for Forbidden. You know Orchid is gonna have a night tonight celebrating the fact that they are still alive in this one and well-deserved from them to climb back out. Jamerson, we'll leave with you just a quick touch here. Obviously, great split and more to come. All set and not for our midseason playoffs. Yeah, I mean, one of the most interesting things that really came out from today is just...

03:19:47 again how the split has evolved over time with the legend band system being introduced early on in the season we saw catalyst being pretty highly prioritized in terms of bands typically within the first three matches then now going to being completely uncontested making it all the way through both series from emea and america's

03:20:07 So, like, you know, coming from like more of an analyst side of things and really being able to like try to break down the shifting meta here in Americas and EMEA, it's kind of interesting to really see that evolution of the legend picks overall. I mean, part of it is, of course, like the introduction of Sparrow partway through the split that definitely did kind of change up how many teams have to really utilize that kind of information, right? And you can flex a little bit more into fuses into the Pathfinders.

03:20:35 Yeah, it's been a very fun ride throughout this entire split. You know, you two have been great. Thank you for bringing your excellence to the broadcast each and every day. I'm excited to see you both very soon. Maybe a little bit sooner next weekend. We can't get rid of her somehow. She's somehow showing up again. But we love you guys. Thank you so much for everything you do for the esport. And we'll see you a bit later.

03:20:59 All right, Vicky Kitty and Jamerson. What a fun day. It's always a fun day when I get to work with my friends, my family here on the broadcast. And yeah, I've been talking about it. It's a little bit of early promo. And now here's the actual promo, June 15th.

03:21:13 We had our first Open and we had it in the middle of the season. That has changed so many dynamics and so many rosters faster and

03:21:42 Vielen Dank.

03:22:11 Don't miss an action of the ALGS. I appreciate you guys. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. And remember, as always, never give up, never stop gaming. And we'll see you all in the Regional Final.
