Apex Legends
00:00:00
00:02:26 Ich bin Glitter Explosion, und heute bin ich sehr froh,
Saison 20 Apex Legends und EMEA Pro League Match Day 7 Ankündigung
00:02:55
00:02:55 Vicky and Genome. Vicky, I'm so glad we get to do this together. How are you feeling about the return of Caustic? Of course you have to lead into that. You know what? The Stinky Man is back and we have to welcome him with open arms as well as 100 new perks on the table here for Season 20 Apex Legends and I'm having the time of my life.
00:03:14 Watching how a lot of these pro players have been able to work that out. But I can't do it alone, Glitter. You mentioned his name, and it is no joke. We are bringing on Genome to the table to cast alongside me for it, Mia. It's not just these lands. It is here right now for Pro League. You could not have said it any better for the first time we get to have this legend with us all day today. Fresh off the back of APAC Genome. Are you rested up? Are you prepared for today?
00:03:43 Okay, now we're gonna have a lot to talk about today because today really is the beginnings of those last
00:04:13 opportunities for some of these squads to start putting in the work and making sure that they're qualifying through not only like we mentioned earlier to the regional finals but then obviously to our LAN playoffs. It's going to be a tough day for some of these squads. We'll start things off by taking a look at our overall standings because genome some of these squads are already good to go.
00:04:36 Oh, ja. Aurora ist jetzt auf 96 Punkte. Sie sind einfach in für LAN. Aber es ist schwerer als immer für diese EMEA-Teams zu machen, weil nur 8 Slots machen es durch. Du hast Teams wie Allianz da in 9th.
00:04:55 The GOATS of this region, basically. You'd never expect them to be under the cutoff, but that's one of the reasons that we've seen recent changes for them. That said, on the higher end of this, you know, you've got Element 6, they keep making it to LAN, you've got O7, Natsuki, doesn't matter who the teammates are, always seems to be turning up. So besides Aurora, which are obviously the clear outliers here, the rest of the teams are actually quite close together.
00:05:23 Ja, es ist wirklich verrückt zu sehen, wie tief in der Wettbewerbung ist, all die Pro-League-Saison. Und jetzt, dass wir eine neue Apex-Saison haben, wo alles komplett verändert hat, muss man sich anschauen. Team Portugals, die noch als Vamo Querer, jetzt auch in der Wettbewerbung, zwei Rats, ein Controller, die all die Fortschritte haben, sogar die Fortschritte, die haben diese Signs des Lebens, aber sie versuchen zu halten, die Konsistenz zu halten.
00:05:48 Passion, ESG, all the way down to Infinity. It's really crazy to see how a lot of these players have been able to adjust, but being within that top 10 is where you kind of feel safe, but you're still not fully in the clear. Even to participate in the regional finals, to qualify for that final spot, with eight total spots being in the EMEA region, that's less spots than what this region is usually comfortable with in the previous years. Yeah, we'll keep looking at...
00:06:17 These teams and where they're kind of tracking with those points. It will also break down those thresholds in just a second. But as we take a look at the third page here, we can see the teams that are in danger of being relegated to that PLQ, right? Those bottom 10 squads because it's the top 20 making it through to regional finals. These are the ones right now that need to have a performance in the last three matches to put them up outside of this bubble, at least continue on to see those regional finals.
00:06:42 Und wir haben sehen, dass die neuen Meta das für diese Bottom-Teams wird, weil ich denke, es könnte es sichern, wie Exoclid, etc.
00:07:10 These thresholds. This is what we're going to start tracking here for these final matches. Because these are the average points that you need to qualify. Not only to regional finals at that 50 point cutoff. But then again to the split one playoffs here. Genome, obviously Aurora's looking comfortable.
00:07:27 They're looking great, aren't they? But yeah, just to stress this, this isn't like a definite cutoff. This is just what we've seen in previous splits that was required to A, get to the regional finals, make it to that top 20 of your region, and then B, to advance to the split one playoffs and make it to land. So yeah, you know, if 90 points does end up being that cutoff, Aurora already good, already solid, already in.
00:07:53 Und dann, wenn es 50 Punkte ist, dann sieht man viele Teams haben bereits das gemacht. Und das ist eigentlich unsere Top-10 Teams, die bereits bereits in der Region Finals sind. Und es ist die Teams unter der Linie, die wir jetzt beherrschen, heute, um, zu sehen, ob sie können, auch, um, ihre Weg zu machen, um, um, zu machen, um, die Chance zu machen.
00:08:21 mit den Mitgliedstaaten der Mitgliedstaaten ist Gruppen A und B. Welche Teams sind wir schauen, die in der Mitte der Pack stecken?
00:08:28 Well, time running out, you saw the second place team currently, E6, which didn't have that consistent game going into the day not too long ago when they had played versus Group C. And that's a team that I definitely want to keep my eye on for. Looking at Alliance to see how they were able to participate with the inclusion of their third. No longer his effect here into play here, rather Yuki is into play here. But now with Unlucky being brought in, they've been able to perform really nice and being able to see how that played off yesterday.
00:08:58 Ich meine, es gibt so viele Spaß hier, ich meine...
00:09:23 I love Natsuki's style of IGLing. So fun watching 40% worse. Those guys have definitely got some work to do if they want to make it to the Regional Finals. I don't think they're out of the question at this point. But, you know, look, I'm definitely cheering for them. Alright, well, lots of teams that we always want to talk about here today because there's so many phenomenal squads that are going to be participating. But as always, we have to...
00:09:49 to pick a few for us to really kind of highlight and narrow our focus down onto. So let's start talking about our ones to watch. We've got three great choices here today. We've got Cyber Cats Alliance and Team Portugal. Vicki, you went with Cyber Cats. I want to hear why.
00:10:06 Alright, so CyberCats is one of the teams on that cusp, and I always like to talk about what's a little risky here, what's at stake, because currently they are sitting in that 8th place spot on the cusp for qualifying. CyberCats in general, they were one of the teams, or this was before, by the way, Season 20, when I saw the Cossack, I was wondering, alright, well, when you get to Final Circle, you know that Cossack's definitely gonna come in clutch.
00:10:29 I believe this was for match day four. And they not only took a dub there, but they also took a dub in match day five. But this is a team that if they think they keep themselves up in the overall standings, even when they had to deal with playing as a duel during one pro league day because of an unfortunate power outage.
00:10:46 Despite that, this team has been pretty consistent in general on both Stormpoint and on World's Edge. They did start Pro League with a few rough edges, but you can see that this team has been able to figure out what they need to do to stay consistent, getting even second a month ago during the last time they played in this very same lobby in Groups A and B.
00:11:07 So Alliance, you know, I think if you're in Amea, you know, maybe you're looking at Cybercats. I think the whole world really is looking at Alliance because they are such a mainstay of...
00:11:33 der Region und natürlich mit der sehr, sehr recenten pick-up von Unlucky, Dinge haben verändert für sie, right? Ich meine, es ist ein bisschen strange, du hast jemanden von, wenn du die Standings hast, als sie jetzt sind, die 4th-team zu den 9th-team, aber natürlich, das ist weil es so viel Pedigree behind Effect, behind Hackers, um, als diese amazing players...
00:11:56 from the EMEA region. You know, it's a great pickup for them. Unlucky's currently sitting at second in overall kills, third in overall damage for the region. And he's just been performing at a really high level as the role of player coming into split one here in year four. Will this be an upgrade over Yuki? Man, that's that. They're really big shoes to fill, but so far it does look like he's managing to fill them.
00:12:26 Some really, really strong stats on behalf of Alliance here. Another phenomenal pick, a squad that everyone definitely has been keeping their eyes on. And definitely an impressive performance when you consider the fact that it is that new roster swap and they haven't had a whole lot of time together. So I'm excited to see what they continue to bring to the table here as a team. But for me, I want to talk about Team Portugal, okay? This is a squad that now has a new name, also with a roster change very recently as well. Okay.
00:12:55 They were on our graphic here. They're currently at 50 points. And we were talking about those teams on the threshold. They are currently on the threshold for making their way through to regional finals. They looked like they were kind of struggling, maybe somewhere in the middle of the pack, especially last time these two groups did face off. But look at their performance.
00:13:13 from yesterday this is something i really want to highlight here because not only did they pick up their performance across both maps where previously they only really excelled on worlds i actually did a little bit better here on storm point now as well but did even better on world's edge and that's with this new season 20 meta they were running a crypto watson valk comp yesterday it seemed to work out for them and so they are a team that i want to see what they can do because
00:13:38 Even if they make it through to regional finals with their points, they still have to make a really big push in these next two match days if they want to get themselves where they need to be in order to make it land. Almost doing the same amount of points overall that they've had up until Match Day 7 in these next two.
00:13:54 So, I mean, it's going to be a difficult road for Team Portugal, but they've picked it up so much since yesterday that I'm excited to see what they can manage here today. Maybe they can keep that snowball rolling. I'm excited to see what all these teams can do, though. We've talked about quite a few of them. Match number one is almost ready to get going. It's time for me to say goodbye. So, Vicky and Gina, let's kick off EMEA.
00:14:20 Thank you so much, Glitter Genome! Taking a trip from Down Under and after, you know, eat!
Neuerungen in Season 20 und Spielbeginn
00:14:26
00:14:26 Not sleep, and only Apex literally going into today. And I love that, though, because the dedication is here. We are back and reunited together. And Season 20 brings a whole new look at Apex Legends. You already got a taste of that earlier on in Apex. And we got to see it yesterday between me and NA. Even getting a little look at some Legends that we don't usually get to see get put into the Pro League on the big stage. Looking at Lifeline, you know, trying to see if maybe that is persistent going into today.
00:14:56 Wow! The thing that stands out to me here, Vicky, is that we've got no one dropping in Skyhook.
00:15:23 Now, mit den neuen Changes, any kind of PvE you can do ist eigentlich sehr, sehr valuable hier in Season 20. So Element 6 landing over Trials und Skyhook West, das ist bereits ein sehr starkes PoE, weil du die 250 Evo Points für Trials completion hast, und all die Gold Loot, die mit es kommt. So, wenn sie die ganze Welt von Skyhook haben, dann nicht mehr über andere Leute, weil sie hängt Ring Consoles und Survey Beacons, auf welcher Comp sie spielen.
00:15:52 Let's get started. Game number one underway, and I love how you highlighted the different ways to get your Evo Shield up, to get those different points that you need now. With the changes for Season 20, you have to think about how important it is to not only scan care packages to get...
00:16:18 The Survey Beacon, the Ring consoles, and how that's going to go into play for some of the legends that we're going to be seeing, the perks that are going to be opted to be used by some of our pros. I've been so excited playing myself in Season 20, seeing how all these changes have been able to be incorporated into scrims, seeing much more caustic as well onto World's Edge, which makes a lot of sense with much more close quarter battles.
00:16:43 Nicht nur auf World's Edge. Das ist die Wahrheit, glaube ich. Ich glaube, in den letzten Metas, Caustic war eher nur auf World's Edge. Diesmal, wir sehen uns auch über Storm Point.
00:16:57 Das ist so true, und ich eigentlich wollte das mit deinem Kopf aussehen. Dass ich das Konsistenz von einem Map nach dem anderen kann. Das wird auch noch ein bisschen komfortabel sein für die Teams, die nicht wollen, die eine andere Composition zu machen, von einem Map nach dem anderen zu einer anderen. Vielleicht sind sie konsistently in die Spielplan, ob sie für die End Circle wollen. Aber dann, wenn du die Perch Tree für Kossig geteilt, wenn du deine Barrel zu versuchen, um einen Raum zu versuchen, und du wirst es als eine Möglichkeit für Entry Frag, und dann, wenn du
00:17:27 All right.
00:17:51 Wir sehen uns, wo sie gehen wird. Okay, bereits haben wir einen Lifeline pick auf zwei Rats, eine Controller. Okay, wir sehen uns für die Care Packs, für die Gift Wrapped Perk für Level 3 für Lifeline. Das ist natürlich ein Interessant. Was noch etwas Catches your eye, Vicky? Ein paar Wraiths. Ich würde sagen, Wraith, aber ich sah Wraith gestern in NA von Disguise. Es war nicht so hot, aber ich freue mich zu sehen.
00:18:19 wie das für EMEA verändert werden, eine Region, die ihre eigene Legend-Compositions hat, als die anderen Regionen, die wir sehen haben. Wir beginnen jetzt, Leute, mit dem Spiel. Ich bin gespannt, wie diese Legend-Compositions werden, wie die Individual-Style von den Spielern spielen. Wir sehen uns auch die Lifeline. Valkyrie, natürlich, mit der Skyward Dive Perk.
00:18:42 Where it elevates her 25%, I believe, higher into the air. Definitely comes in clutch when it comes to these rotations. And it depends on if you want to play for that final circle positioning. But that also comes into play with how you want to get your evil shield up. You're going to probably be playing for the objectives. Because then you're going to deny yourself damage opportunity if you do settle into that final circle. Or if the circle ends up pulling towards your respective POI. How are you going to be able to get those evil shields up? Because now it is a lot harder to be able to...
00:19:12 ...und find yourself in Endgame with even a red Evil Shield. So imagine a squad landing on you and getting purple off the rip. Exactly. Purple off the rip, that's not even a thing anymore, right? These contests, they happen a lot more quickly because you essentially can't get blue to start off with. We've got a contest over here at Overlook between LVH and Aftermath.
00:19:35 Aftermath have taken the eastern side of it, the dome house, LVH going for the caravans and grabbing the loot on that side.
00:19:47 Evo Harvester?
00:20:17 Ja, aber es ist schön zu wissen, dass Pest Control ist als ein Duell, also sie versuchen, zu verabschieden zu den Situationen, die sie in fronten sind. Bardo hat so viele Momente zu highlighten, wo er sich individuell aufgenommen hat.
00:20:32 Ja, so heading a little bit north here, but where the circle is at the moment, kind of hard to tell. It could end up...
Kämpfe und Rotationen auf der Karte
00:20:58
00:20:58 Um, sort of around where ExoClan is, maybe, you know, a sort of train station-ish finish. Um, but I think we're, you know, potentially gonna have to see one more circle pull, um, to get confirmation on that. This fight happening right now over by Geyser. This is two rats, one controller versus Orgelus and Hungry 2 here. Red Dragon actually on the other side, Future trying to run away as they were trying to make that rotation out of Big Mod. Orgelus and Hungry were waiting for them by the choke.
00:21:26 And that's 2 Retro Controller on the other side of Geyser. Terrible situation to be in when you're making that rotate away from Big Mod. Then looking on the other side by Skyhook. E6, get eliminated. That solo from Red Dragon as well, saying goodbye. So many knocks happening on each end. 07, lose out on Nasky. Oh my god, gets a little bit too greedy with the loot there. I mean, from what I can see, he had, you know, full health. It's not like he needed to go for the armor swap or anything like that. But unfortunately, I don't know.
00:21:56 Gags was just not covering with the smoke there. But that, oh, I mean, obviously after getting the couple of KP to start with, that really sucks that they've now had to take a loss. Will they be able to get him back in? I don't know. There's a lot of teams starting to pull up into Skyhawk now.
00:22:13 They have the banner. The replicator is right there. But yeah, it's like what you said. There's so many teams now rotating already into Skyhook. There's already five teams that have made their rotation. But when you're on the Kossack, looking at Nasky, you have to be so careful about your positioning. You're basically a walking fridge. Your hurtbox is so big. So, I mean, now with more squads making that rotate, Passion seeing the opportunity. And as you take a look at the very top, we mentioned the Kossack. Look at the pick rates. We have eight Cryptos in this lobby, four Horizons. That Gravity Lift may not be...
00:22:43 Ich glaube, es hilft, es ist jetzt in den neuen Legend-Compositions. Die Evac-Tower hat sich geholfen. Wir sehen uns die Rotate jetzt von einer der Schwestern, die vielleicht train stationen, oder vielleicht hangen auf der High-Ground. Ich weiß, dass ein Evil-Harvester auch immer unter den Train-Trägern ist. Ich weiß nicht, ob es auf dem Map ist, aber 07 ist für die Respawn hier.
00:23:07 Okay, Nags is going to stick it. They will get this. So look, they've had to give up maybe the position they wanted to be in Skyhook, but that's fine if you can get your third member back in the game. I mean, just having a look at these pick rates up the top, Vicky, we've got eight Cryptos. That's quite a lot. And I was having a look at the last match day for NA and EMEA. Bang, blood.
00:23:33 Caustic, right? That is the meta composition right now. Amir was playing a little bit less of it. It seems like that has shifted up in this day versus our last one, but still only 55% picking Bangalore. We had upwards of 85% in Apex South not too long ago.
00:23:53 Es ist tatsächlich verrückt, wie Kryptos, was Krypto wirklich hat. Für Level 2 kann man das 10 Sekunden Tactical Cooldown. His Ultimate, man kann es 30 Sekunden schneller für his Alt Cooldown, so man kann viel mehr Damage mit dem EMP. A lot of Cossacks sind in diesen Buildings mit den Cossack Barrels. Das ist eine Art, die alles zu verändern, die du bereits in einem Buildings set hast. Aber, wenn man Eppi hat, kann man schon sehen, Kashera zu sehen. Speaking of Krypto, man kann man sehen, was passiert.
00:24:23 The man who basically made that legend, yeah, has been on him for the longest time. And yeah, that's a fantastic point, actually, because in a skyhook circle, if you're increasing the radius of that, yeah, you're 100% right. You will be farming damage with that EMP, just pressing that button on repeat.
00:24:46 Evo Points.
00:24:58 To see how a lot of these teams want to rotate while also getting points at the same time. Because if they're very patient, they're going to be going to those evil harvesters. Maybe looking at those care packages like we've highlighted before. Pest Control still, again, playing as a duel. Still alive, rotating through Landslide, one of the other cripple squads. Another fight pursued over here by the train tracks. Closer by Surveycamp is Team Portugal, who had made that rotate away from Epi. Now on the other side, trying to get information on where this circle may be rotating to as well.
00:25:27 Okay, so as they push up, I mean, honestly, if they stuck around there, it could be a good shout. The circle still has a chance, I think, to pull down towards Team Portugal. We haven't really got a clear sense of that yet, because there's a mountain running, a round range running through the center of this circle, and it could go either way. Get used to seeing those Crypto drones flying around, because with eight of the teams running that, you're certainly going to be trying to snipe them out of the air quite a bit.
00:25:55 Gonna ruin everyone's plans if they're trying to settle down inside of a building, especially if they're trapped up. Orgless and hungry. Looking at Team Portugal, who have rotated away. Team Portugal does want that survey beacon that was in Grandma's house. That's probably why they're waiting around the area. But it's also nice to highlight that Tyler already has a red Evo. And that's with 322 damage on board. They were able to secure 2 KP in total for the squad. And they may be able to get another one right here after finding the crack on this one teammate that's left behind. Bangalore managing to get away.
00:26:24 Yeah, and you're seeing this a little bit more now, right? So obviously only one team member has the red. That's because they got an evocache. Whether that was from a vault or whether it was from a care package, it's a big deal because you can see there's still a lot of teams with blues and you've got a 50 shield advantage over them.
Entscheidende Kämpfe und Teamstrategien im späteren Spielverlauf
00:26:43
00:26:43 Es ist so wichtig, wenn es nur eine Neutral-Flight passiert ist, welches diese Teams haben einen Vorteil von der Open-Field. JMW, doch, hat sich die Verteilung von der Verteilung. Looks wie die Evac-Tower wurde von einem anderen Team aus. Sie können tatsächlich landen hier, oder sie können sich in eine bessere Position in der Circle zu bekommen. Aftermath, ein Team hat eine Blue-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo-Evo
00:27:07 Und auch mit Selizie, aus Südamerika zu spielen, auf der Squad zu sein, jetzt ist er, als er hat sich über die High-Ground genommen ist. Nice little spot for them to sit up, aber jetzt jetzt... Aftermath, yet to put points on the board, aber mit dem Kampf gegen Cold zu kommen... Trying to secure an early win.
00:27:32 Oh, he was forced to drop down from the high ground right here. I think they know that they may be at a disadvantage when it comes to that health.
00:27:38 Looking at the fact that they also are on the sticks with ammo, Silesi had like, what, 20, 30 bullets in that flatline? So they're deciding that they're just going to rotate away. They do not feel confident in taking this fight. Even pinging the replicators there, if they can maybe get some more ammo, if they do want to try to re-engage here. But I'm not expecting that team behind them from slowing down. Yes, it is that Evo Shield difference. Urban also having the red Evo, JMW graceful with double purple. They're going to be able to close in the gap right here. And I don't think any other teams are...
00:28:07 It's a fair decision. I think by aftermath, as you say, you're going to be pretty scared if you start hitting the red ticks of Evo with Urban trying to push up here. Nevertheless, they don't have the zone information, so they have to try and stick around. But there we go. Two knocks already. I think Cold have got this wrapped up.
00:28:33 Oh man, 2 down, 1 to go here, trying to get away with the Bangalore Smoke, but 2 Retro Controller take it from them instead. There's that third party that we were looking at when they were in the vicinity, and with the Crypto Jump, the EMP comes in from Hierarcha. That's gonna be able to cover their tracks and also deal enough damage, so that way they can prevent them from trying to get a full reset. So they're just gonna be running for their lives.
00:28:55 Check this out, we got basically the full Legendary Mozambique here. Three golds on that, and I'm not gonna lie, I have seen that popping off this season. I mean, you never would have thought it, but there are going to be highlight clips out of there of people popping off with the Mozambique. Hold on, that is slapping. That 56 and then the 30 before that?
00:29:18 40% worse also eliminated two rats one controller coming out on top with the third party i'm glad you mentioned the mozam too because again now pistols could take that digi no longer smg so that's definitely going to be taken advantage of mozam re orglis and hungry now rotating away there is 15 squads still left here so being
00:29:40 Wary of the squads and their rotation points are going to be incredibly important from where the circle is going to be pulling, especially if you do have that beacon information. I believe this is pulling on the outskirts of the tracks, closer towards Skyhook, out in the open by the rocks, as you can see right now on the feed. So even though some of these buildings, like looking at Full English, even Passion is going to have to start inching their way closer to where Team Portugal, which this squad always predicts where Final Circle is. It's quite incredible. But because of that, they...
00:30:09 They also denied themselves the opportunity to boost up those EVO shields. So now they're going to be waiting probably inside of that truck that is on the outskirts of that rock while more of these teams are going to be fighting coming out from the tunnel.
00:30:22 Yeah, quite the bellwethers, aren't they? But as you said, it looks like it is going to be one of those Skyhook Tower finishes near the Drill Tower. And I mean, we saw a couple of those earlier today actually near Overlook. And what generally happens in these circles is the tower is a fantastic place to play, but you can't play it early. And so it's this kind of this game of chicken where, you know, how long can you survive up there? How...
00:30:50 Wie late oder wie early will you want to take that tower? Because you know it's a good spot. But if you take it a little too early, you will just get blitzed off the top of it. Especially with the amount of cryptos that we see in this lobby. It's going to be an EMP galore. There's fireworks everywhere. But looking at the squads that make it, at least into that final circle. Alliance. This was a highlight of mine looking at EMEA yesterday. Unlucky. A great addition to this team. They have a bow check in hand from Effect.
00:31:18 Looking to see if he could find his mark. But with this rotate, they have the ability to 50-50 what direction they want to go. And do they want to take the tunnel, which it does look like there's a team in there actually. Or do they want to rotate through grandma's house with more of these squads already in Skyhawk.
00:31:36 I mean, some of these buildings will be in, and some of them won't be in the next circle, Vicky. So, you know, a team like ExoClan here, they need to start doing this damage, because the more teams they can clear out here, the better the chance it is that they'll find a spot in the next circle. The teams coming from the south side, like, say, CyberCats or 2Rats1Controller, I think they'll be able to find spots.
00:32:02 Without too much worry, whereas the teams in Skyhook, this is about to get a little bit messy. Yeah, all really Cybercats and Grandma's have to worry about it. The squad's rotating away from Monument. Alliance have called in the Evac Tower and up they go to see where they...
00:32:17 Alright, Hawke is bunking his head a lot, as well as Effect got the memo a little late, but this actually will prevent them from going as far as they were intending, a little low right in front of Cybercats, serving themselves on a silver platter as Unlucky is trying to get away. While they're trying to find a way to get out, let's jump into Unlisten and as Unlucky pops a shield back.
00:32:46 Ich habe 5 Bats in der Box. 5 Bats in der Box. Okay, I need, I need. Dopp your armors off. Full team crossing over in the open. Kripto. Kripto 1. Yeah, no Smokes right now. Kripto 1 back there. Okay. Watch this, watch this side, one of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scan the buildings. Scan the buildings. Yeah, yeah, I'm scanning again. Scan now. Where's 3? Where's this? There's 3 teams in here. Only roof, only roof is 3. Look at, look at, Kripto!
00:33:13 Ich bin auf der Tür! Ich bin auf der Tür! Ich bin auf der Tür!
00:33:40 1-2-1!
00:33:58 Ja, 07 went down there as well. I mean, it felt like a millisecond window that they had, honestly, to hit that...
00:34:18 Und jetzt haben wir das, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
00:34:41 As this zone closes, that is pretty much the time to take it. Not many teams after this zone closes will have sightlines on you. What year is it? Wraith coming into Pro League? You'll have to see it while Effect is still fighting for his life.
00:34:57 Okay, stay healthy. Oh, that was a risky res.
00:35:22 Other teams hear it move in for the kill, and Full English seems to be the team that might actually stay alive and make it from the bottom side here. Only the two of them left alive, Brennan at Noises. 2R1C, Passion have been grouping up on the north side of this. Meanwhile, Team Portugal, as we mentioned earlier, taking control of the RV and very happily sitting in there for now.
00:35:49 We're able to also clean up some kills from the squads that were exiting out of the train tracks, stuck outside the circle. Looking at Cybercats who have taken the Hydron. Yes, they lose out on Alonzi, who, by the way, on the Mad Maggie. This is a team that is running both Wraith and the Mad Maggie. It's going to be interesting to watch here, but the Wraith may come in clutch at the very end, but specifically looking at the Caustic with that Nox grenade. You can see here the perks that he's also...
00:36:14 Aber mit diesen Caustic Trappern kann man sich auch anzusehen, um zu gehen, ohne zu geben, ohne zu viel cover zu geben. Ja, die... Ja, die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die... Die
00:36:44 Krack hier.
00:36:45 Rannabbing zu look over to the side. He manages to get away, but that was right before. He didn't notice that there was another player right next to him. The Caustic gets the knock noises, gets fully sent on full English, get annihilated. That was all from Zero Nothing, who immediately pushed off of that Nox grenade. You can see he did use it there, but at the very end, this is where it's going to be even more important. As Cybercats are forced to drop down right on top of, I believe, two reps with Controller Uchaku. He gets the final blow, though, with that melee. Now Ranches is forced to get away.
00:37:14 Okay, Team Portugal, they're gonna send two R1C here, but Passion, they can come in off the back of this. It should be an easy cleanup for them. Passion, take it from The Rock. Passion with the bread and butter, Bloodhound, Bangalore, and Caustic.
00:37:40 mit einer sehr schwierigen Rotation zu sehen. Man kann sich nicht einfach aus der Skyhook-Agelegen. Es ist nicht einfach, besonders mit den 2-3 EMPs, die wir sehen, am Ende des Lobbys sind.
00:37:54 Wow, es war eine wirklich cool finish. Die Team auf der Tower ist nicht gewünscht. Sie werden erst einmal gewünscht. Das Rock ist ziemlich stark in der Final Circle. Und wir sahen Passion, ihr wisst, um, zu gehen. Das ist eine andere Team, die sich da sitzen. Ich glaube, es war voll Englisch. Und dann haben sie das gemacht.
00:38:15 All of a sudden, it looked like the game was in their hands because 2R1C and Team Portugal kind of locked into a battle in their death throes there. And I think Portugal realized they probably had to play for second place. So, you know, at least recognizing that.
00:38:31 was also nice to see is that zero nothing at the very end we got to catch him cleaning up what two squads what was remained of the two squads that we saw them and he was able to get four kp alone i did notice that his other two teammates were also able to get kp so with that dub on top of potentially six kp total that's going to be a nice first game to have in the pocket and that is also considering the rotation from staging to make it into that final circle on the outskirts of skyhook so really good game right there for passion
00:39:00 Yeah, I mean, you know, any kind of game where you're getting top three and also running away with a few kills is obviously going to help you on the standings. I'm sure we'll get to that later. But yeah, that's an amazing first win for them.
00:39:18 Taking a look at the match results. Passion coming in 1st place with 7 kills. Two rats, one controller! With 11 KP that game! Sheesh!
00:39:31 They really came in from Geyser. I mean, we saw them fighting very early when we got to see the 50-50 happening in Overlook. And then what happened to Red Dragon when they made the rotate out of Big Mod right into Geyser or 2 Rats 1 Controller, where they did not stop fragging, it looks like, for the entire rest of the game on their trip over to Skyhook. So that was a pretty big game for them, too. Even looking all the way down to Cybercats, who unfortunately denied themselves that KP after they were sitting in Grandma's house for the majority of that game, actually babysitting that beacon. Full English was 7 KP, too, but a good...
00:40:00 Good amount of KP for a lot of our top 10 squads here, Geno. Indeed, I mean, it's interesting the Cybercats, you know, picked up the placement points without any kills at all, but then if you move a little further down, you've got 07, you know, of course, they kind of scuttled their plans earlier on, with Natsuki going down early, but look, six points is still nothing to laugh at there, so them and Orglis and Hungry doing okay, even though they went out a little bit earlier.
00:40:30 Das ist wirklich verrückt. Wir sprechen über die E6. Wir sprechen über die Faktik, dass sie das Ziel haben, dass sie das Ziel haben, wenn sie das Ziel haben. Aber wir sehen uns auf die Top-10-Teams. Aber die Top-3-Teams, nach der Nr. 1, Passion nimmt das DUB. Sie sehen 7 Kp aus hier mit über 3,000 Damage, mit 2 Radzweck-Controller in der 3rd-Place-Spot. Mit 5,000 Damage, 11 Total Kills, 17 Assists. Sie waren absoluten Frying. Und das ist mit der Lifeline, die in dieser Comp. Lifeline Crypto-Bang.
00:40:59 I mean, I'm loving the flexibility that we're seeing from all these teams. Even Team Portugal. I love how Kashira post-kill EQ actually going in for a comp that I believe Kashira had found so much success on previously. Still sticking to the Crypto, the Watson, and the Valkyrie where you could play for end circle. Kind of stay posted up in wherever you want to be and then see if you could find the KP that you need from any of the rotating spots while being in the best spot that you could possibly be in wherever you predict that circle is going to be pulling.
00:41:28 Wir werden sehen, wie Nummer 2 auf der anderen Seite ist. Ihr könnt nicht missen.
00:43:45 Nummer 2, but...
00:43:47 in the books, a pretty strong performance across the board, especially 11 kills out of two R1C. I mean, talk about coming out the gate hot, Gino. Yeah, it was a really frag-heavy game for them. You know, Passion also obviously taking out the win and picking up a few as well. But yeah, there was a reasonable spread of kills across the board for our EMEA teams in Game On. I mean, not only that, but something that we can touch on, because I think we've got a little bit of time here too, is the fact that
00:44:17 We talked about it yesterday when we saw what we were getting for that Legend Comp coming in now. First games in the new season, in the new meta. And now we get to another day of EMEA. And we saw even more variety coming in. We saw more Wraiths this time around. We saw more Cryptos this time around. We even saw a Mad Maggie on CyberCats. I mean, EMEA is trying everything here, Gino.
00:44:38 Yeah, it's fun to see the variety, isn't it? I mean, every region, I think, has their flavor right now. I'm a little sad, you know, we did get the vision of the Lifeline pulling down the care pack, if that's... She managed to get that out towards the end. But yeah, there's just so many possibilities in this new season. It's been fascinating to see which skill trees these pros are going down, because it's not settled yet, right? I think there's some, like, say, Bangalore, where you...
00:45:07 Ja, es ist wirklich adding to the overall strategy when it comes to this game. What ways they want to go when those perk trees based off of their play styles or as a team or as an individual. And it's making for some really...
00:45:36 Interesting gameplay here. Another thing that I want to talk about, I mean, I love that you mentioned the lifeline, but we had also seen this yesterday, was the importance of that pathing, trying to get your evos leveled up, right? Are you going for those evo harvesters? Are you able to get enough of the other ways to boost your evo, whether it is those beacon scans, if it's those bins, those extra bins you're able to get, if you're able to spot some things out.
00:46:02 Das ist in einem Bereich, das sollte super, super top-tier für sie werden. Wir sind natürlich zurück zu World's Edge für Match Nummer 2, Passion kommt auf den Match Nummer 1. Aber irgendwelche Teams, die wir heute gesehen haben, was in MIA oder NA, waren in der TRIALS-Aerah. Die zusätzliche 250, die du dann aus der TRIALS-Aerah hast, und dann machte deine Rotation.
00:46:22 Anywhere else on the map sets you up really really well, so I know they went out early in match number one But I think there's someone that I'm keeping my eyes on this time around to see if they can kind of bounce back from that and really recover and then utilize their positioning Well to be one of those first teams in the lobby genome that ends up on red
00:46:38 Yeah, yeah, definitely Trials has a great opportunity to do that. And, you know, not only red armor, but all the gold sort of attachments and, or, you know, I guess equipment that you get with that from finishing Trials. We'll have a look at how the legend picks ShakeOut again this time. Wasn't a misclick. We are getting another lifeline coming out of 2R1C.
00:47:04 Um, I mean, the other thing to point out, I guess, from some of these, um, compositions that we're doing well, like, say, Full English there with Watson, Valkyrie, Crypto, is, um, you know, I feel like they really are relying on their gun skill a lot, honestly. Like, there's so much utility in that composition with Crypto, Watson, um, and Valkyrie. You're really not trying to bully other teams with your abilities.
00:47:28 Du kannst es ein bisschen mit dem EMP machen, aber es geht meistens um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
00:47:41 I love that we're starting to see more people using it as well especially with the option on the crypto side of things to make your EMP that much bigger endgame and really kind of disrupt what can happen for some of those teams has proven to be quite useful as we are back on board now checking in with this Overlook contest LVH trying to stay alive up against Aftermath
00:48:06 Skans coming out. Evo Harvester in a very similar position to last time, but I don't think it will be as much of an issue because both of the teams are clustered up. They were, you know, sort of taking their time last time, but this time you see them pulling straight up onto each other. Looks like they don't want to take their time this time around. I mean, nice shots coming out of Lippin' with that Prowler here, trying to see if he can do anything.
00:48:29 Only one down on LVH. Still, they're actually holding their ground really solidly here, making an aggressive push into the building. The smoke ends up blocking a lot of this vision. LVH now down to one. Able to clean up...
00:48:43 was worth all of the expenditure in the long run because now like you mentioned they also have that evil harvester right behind them they'll get a reset here and all that extra damage is gonna be huge for their shields yeah definitely helps with that early on it also means they're not gonna get thirded by pest control this time because they got it over and done with nice and quickly that said they don't have super great priority to the ring which you know just by
00:49:08 By happenstance, we'll be pulling aroundabouts here, maybe probably a little bit down south to Harvester. But Exoclan sitting here in Landslide will be safer for a little while. There's that Ring Vision. So more likely to pull south of the Vault Tunnel there and pull on top of Cybercats. And Passion, starting over at Staging, you know, they managed to convert up north last time, but this Circle is even more favorable for them.
00:49:36 Definitely, you can see that they're going to be trying to find a nice position early here to hold down. But CyberKat's a team that also did well, at least getting into one of those top five, I think.
00:49:45 Wir sehen uns in den ersten Match, und sie waren jemanden wir wollten, weil sie die Maggie waren, aber Elonsi war nur die zwei auf dem Tauern am Ende des Jahres. Wir werden die Möglichkeit sehen, was die Maggie bringen zu diesem Trio, weil sie nicht so viel zu tun haben. Sie können einfach nur auf die Hälfte auf die Hälfte gehen, weil wir sehen, Orglas und Hungry zu machen, in der Richtung.
00:50:11 Yep, more and more teams will be pulling up to Harvester nice and soon. Even ExoClan, we said they're making their way through staging at the moment. We do have a Survey Beacon in Harvester. I just mentioned that because we have so many crypto teams, right? So when you decide to hit that Survey Beacon, it could be crucial. You know, do you hit it after...
00:50:35 The Zone 3 reveal. The Zone 4 reveal. Because, you know, the later you hit it, the more certain you can be about what spots are open as that zone changes. Because no one's going to be able to predict this exactly, right? Like, it could go to air you anywhere around Harvester, essentially.
00:50:54 Woaah!
00:51:21 Oh my god, he actually gets the gleaner, but to 40% worse. Let's go. EMP to lock them down and the Hemlock Vaults have finished them off, but yeah, look. How much this fight is he going to get? Not very much. I mean, cut him some slack that was an insane clutch on behalf of noises, but full English, go down. And it is the cymbal.
00:51:45 Die Cybercats wollen diese ganze Hälfte des Harvester zu wenigstens für sie für sie jetzt. Mehr Loot auf dem Tisch auf dem Tisch, also. So, eine große Play-Ausgabe für Cybercats, als wir jetzt in was geht's mit Infinite in diesem Tunnel sind. Sie sind jetzt zwischen zwei verschiedenen Teams, einem auf jeden End. Das ist ein schwerer Spot. Sie müssen sich entscheiden, wer sie wollen, wenn sie nicht wollen, dass sie das absolute Massacke haben.
00:52:13 I feel like there's always one of those happening somewhere around the map in Apex. It's kind of just how the game works, right? There's always going to be some hot spots, but I like playing up there. I mean, you can see it's not an easy spot to climb up to, right? Like, they're trying to get there. Obviously, it's a lot easier if you've got a horizon, something like that. But it is quite a powerful spot because you really can, you know, determine your peaks if you're playing from that high ground.
00:52:44 We've got your squad here, Genome. Checking in on Alliance as they're making their way on a little bit safer rotation outside of where a lot of these teams have moved into. I think they have one team in their path right now, which should be Passion, that they're keeping their eyes on, seeing what's going on. But right now, they're safe coming out of Thermal. They actually don't have too many people in their way, so they can kind of play this as slowly as they want to.
00:53:11 Not a bad spot at all, I agree. You know, it's a good spot for gatekeeping. You know, there were two Evo Harvesters actually down on the side of Thermal Station. So hey, why not just take your time and really build those shields up and then you can work your way in a little bit later. Actually, they might have even hit three by now. So yeah, like without even having to put that much damage out, that's a good start to the shield.
Strategische Positionierung und Taktiken im frühen bis mittleren Spiel
00:53:37
00:53:37 Evo Collection game that we now play in Apex. A little scouting action going on here with that drone as we get a chance to look back at the map. And this is what I'm talking about. Look how open that western edge of where Alliance had to come through is. Nobody was there. They've got a pretty safe push in, but now some of those teams on those later rotates could potentially find themselves in the crosshairs of Alliance, but they're pretty safe for now. E6.
00:54:06 Still up and alive, Infinite right in front of them could find themselves on a little bit of an edge engagement there, but 2R1C, one of the teams that had the highest slaying in match number one, is finding themselves comfortable far away from everybody else. Oh, so we get an opportunity to see what East X is going to do with their position.
00:54:24 Ja, da sind eine Late Rotate in. Ich meine, das Circle könnte sogar sogar nach Staging gehen, mit dem kleinen Schiff, das wir gesehen haben. So, ein Team wie ANC Outplayed, der jetzt in Command Center ist, in Staging.
00:54:39 Das wäre massive für sie, wenn wir das gesehen haben. Element 6, depending auf wie sie entscheiden können, könnte es auch helfen. Aber wir werden sehen, wie das geht. Die Spot 07 we're holding in front of the Loot Tunnel also could become quite strong.
00:54:59 You can see just how comfortable E6 is with their shields right now. LVH though, making their way through this choke, will find themselves in the crosshairs of E6. And they know that there is the potential for somebody to be through there as well. So they're playing this a little bit safer. They've got time. They're still safe inside of the zone right now. So they can kind of choose which way they want to make this rotation. Not a lot in the backpack though.
00:55:27 Gosh, I mean, you know, they've come into this zone very late. You know, sure they've got purple shields, but I'm really surprised that after that initial scuffle over in Overlook that they haven't been able to pick up a little more loot on the way considering how long it took them to get here.
00:55:44 I think it really shows what the teams are currently focusing on when it comes to their pathing and what they're trying to pick up along the way. Meanwhile, you've got Orgus and Hungry in here. I knew we were going to say this, right? An armor party.
00:55:59 With all those Kryptos in the lobby, you're going to see a lot of armors dropped on the floor here, right? And unless they've changed this recently, last time I checked, you need the armor down on the ground for 10 seconds before it becomes immune to a Krypto's EMP. So with that many Kryptos in the lobby, you can drop it instantly and it'll deny the Krypto damage, but you'll still have to use your shield cells and your resources to get it back up. 10 seconds.
00:56:29 und Sie nullen die EMP komplett.
00:56:33 Red Dragon, in that Evo Harvester. Getting themselves up to purple now, preparing for the next wave of potential engagements here. You know, when we first had this new Metagenome, I was kind of hoping that with the way the Evo Harvesters were working, if a team ran across one really early on, or even mid-game and knew that they were going up against someone that they had shield advantage, we'd see more fights. If anything...
00:57:02 Everyone's getting a lot more conservative until they feel like they're at a good shield spot to even take those engagements.
00:57:07 Ja, ich denke, das ist fair, weil ich glaube, dass du sehen, Lower Shields, um, in den Mid-Game zu sehen, und vielleicht sogar in den Late-Game zu sehen, weil, um, bei diesem Punkt, ja, viele Teams würden haben Purple. Sie würden auf, um, oder was, um, aber wir sehen, Blues, um, viel später in den Game zu sehen, weil du einfach in ein Spot hast, wo es nicht genug Perkbinds gibt. Du kannst nicht genug Evo Harvesters gehen, um, und ich denke, das ist, dass die Leute aufhören.
00:57:36 because they feel a little bit vulnerable with only the 175 health overall. 2R1C looking to do a little bit of poke damage there as they push their way through on the eastern edge looking to get into the next zone. You were wondering where it was going to shift, Genome.
00:57:53 It looks like Orglis and Hungry is very comfortable in the next ring. Damn, yeah, a bit of pinball going on here with our zone. It does go back to Harvester, and as you say, Orglis and Hungry very much on top of it. Survey Bacon still in, so I can see some teams are literally using their Crypto Drones right now to go and ping that Survey Bacon and consider, you know, what the next move is.
00:58:24 Potential engagement here coming in on behalf of E6. Let's jump into a listen and see how they want to handle it.
00:58:49 Das war nicht ein Freak-Bee, es ist gut. Ja, aber bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte.
00:59:14 All right, I mean, that was a successful push there on behalf of E6. I love the cops, you know. Yeah, the vibes are high. The vibes are intense, at the very least, over here. 2R1C, just caught them at a bad time. The only one left alive now.
Kämpfe um Harvester und strategische Zonen
00:59:35
00:59:35 Looks like they are going down right now. To all of the teams that have decided to hold that space here in Harvester. Trying to survive Infinite. Now back and forth down to 1 as well. Trying to close out this battle here. But the knockdown shield is putting in work. Able to finally move around it. Red Dragon go down. Infinite escape with just 1.
00:59:59 Not able to really do a whole lot here. We're gonna see a rat situation and if we see anything like we saw yesterday, if we end up...
01:00:06 Ja, das war eine der wildest End-Circles ich habe gesehen. Ich meine, wie das passiert, ich weiß nicht, aber es war ein Spaß. Ich bin froh, Allianz hat Infinite geteilt da, ehrlich gesagt. So Allianz war auf der Rückseite. Ihr könnt sehen, Infinite war auf der Rückseite. Sie wussten, dass Allianz war ein bisschen früher, sie könnten die KP verlieren.
01:00:36 Und jetzt, ich glaube, Element 6 hat Wind of Infinite. So, es wird schwer für ihn zu kommen. Aber, honestly, most der Action ist jetzt hier. Towards Harvester. Wo wir sehen ExoClan, Passion. Well, within die Circle. Auglas und Hungry probably haben die beste Position. Because sie sind in der Western Wing of Harvester. Und sie werden able zu sticken in da. Right until die Endgame.
01:01:02 Ich denke, es wird interessant sein, ob die Teams noch ein bisschen weiter in den Harvester zu versuchen, in den Orglisten-Hungry zu ziehen und die Positionierung auszunehmen, oder zumindest einen von den 12,000 Armors, die die Leute nicht wissen, haben sie gerade auf dem ground. Aber wirklich, wirklich Solid Positionierung. Wir sehen uns ein Kraber in den Hands-A-Ranches und Connects für 140. Cybercats haben wirklich so stark.
01:01:31 Six spots a day, looking for that extra shot. Unfortunately, the head's not available to him right now. Can't get the one shot. But yeah, look, Cybercats here. They've got that little snake of the harvester all to themselves, but they might be joined by 07 shortly.
01:01:53 ExoClan, eine der Teams-Teams aufzuhalten, zu dieser High-Ground-Ariah, wo wir Passion waren, auch. Ich meine, sie können sich alle in die Snake-Bilden sehen, aber sie versuchen, sich jetzt anzuhalten und zu entfernen, um die Raum zu finden, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun, um die Frags zu tun. Das war ein paar Frags zu versuchen, die Double-Grav-Flifts hier, als Allianz und E6-E6 zu tun.
01:02:19 Yes, this is on the southern side of this. Alliance trying to get the reset here with the Golden Knock as Hackers gets finished off. Element 6 going to push into this and try and finish them off. Or Alliance going to come out on top. Unlucky with the Wingman. I mean, it's always a... I feel like it's always an honor if your teammate lets you have the Wingman. It's such an important piece of utility in this game.
01:02:48 Okay, you can see that they were able to close that out. Alliance now claiming a decent amount of space, but only as a two. So they're going to have to play this a little bit safer now and see if anyone was trying to follow up on that engagement as there was a lot of action in that direction. Meanwhile, checking back in on some of our squads that are in the next circle. Orgos and Hungry still looking very comfortable in their portion of the building.
01:03:14 Ja.
01:03:36 Geschirra doing scouting with the drone. This is the time to start looking for those spots. Obviously, one of the massive advantages of having Hack on your side is being able to plan ahead. Geschirra, one of the best at it. They see that the top is free, and I think that is 100% the right call to play that. Unfortunately, you're still going to have teams, as you can see, on those high grounds above you. Maybe...
01:04:00 Having an interception pile on here will be enough to save you. But, oh, they do take one casualty on the way. And Alliance looking to send them as well, who are back up to the full three. This was a really good push on behalf of Alliance. They did it right before Team Portugal was even able to get fully settled in this high ground top of the building. Cleared them out. Now they also have this Jenny here that they can kind of utilize to their advantage. They've got these death boxes.
01:04:30 This was a massive move for Alliance, especially after the fact that everybody allowed them to get fully reset. They can hold this now for a while. Oh, in fact, even hitting the headshots here. As you say, having this spot, not only the spot, but getting the gem for free as well. I mean, it's probably pumping out Arc Stars for them. Yeah, honestly, an incredible win for them. But the way this circle pulls, Passion and Exo Clan have the high ground up the top. Passion once again.
01:04:59 have found themselves in a really good spot. Actually, looking at the map, it's a little hard to tell. They might be on the lower ground.
01:05:07 Oh, this is gonna be chaotic as it starts to shrink down and all these teams are forced to move. You see those pings coming out on behalf of Alliance. They know that they have to make a move soon. They did use an evac tower to get up here from where they were, so they still might be able to utilize that horizon and get themselves to a safer position when everyone starts making their moves. They know where some of the squads are. You were wondering where Passion is. It does look like they're on the low ground like you speculated. There's just a lot of Watson fences in the face of Alliance.
01:05:35 Ja, das ist wirklich Exo's game zu verlieren hier. Ich meine, ExoClan ist auf der top. Es ist ein junger Kong-Kong in der Drone, einfach zu sehen. Er ist einfach in seinem eigenen OBS-Client. Sie sehen die Game play aus. Und Allianz... Sorry, Allianz. Sie sind hinter dem, of course, mit dem Grablift. Sie haben eine Chance zu ruin Exo's day.
01:05:58 This should be interesting. Don't forget, we still have Orglis and Hungry inside the building and they were safe. They'll probably be keeping their sights on Passion as the team is on the low ground with them as well. But there is some potential for either one of those teams to really disrupt what we've got going on. All the while, Exel has to be keeping their sights down on Alliance and everybody else is going to be looking to make a push up. Everything is about to kick off Orglis and Hungry. Make their move. They push out.
01:06:22 So what happens now? Do we get a battle of the low ground between Alliance and Passion? Or do Alliance try and push up against Exoclan? And EMP to remove all of that Watson utility on the high ground would be a huge move. There's the grab lift!
01:06:50 Oh, Alliance doing a really good job of managing all of this. I thought Cash went down to one. They're still in full squad as well. Exo's still raining down damage from above, knowing that they can just sit here comfortably until they are forced to make a move. Almost everybody on reds, and you can see that, like you said, this is Exo's game to lose. Oh, they're just fishing a barrel right now. The last members of Passion getting bullied by Exo Clan, who barely even take damage.
01:07:18 zu close out the game.
01:07:45 Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a couple of teams who are really desperate to either try and get closer to that LAN position, that top eight here that you need in EMEA, or try and make it into the regional finals in the top 20. They're the two cutoffs that we're really worried about. I mean, that was a really, really fun ending there. To be fair, we saw lots of good...
01:08:10 Decisions and pushes for a zone that's kind of rough for these teams to play. Alliance did a phenomenal job not only getting themselves reset back up to a three, but then playing off of the decisions of the other teams. Like I said, not letting Team Portugal get settled when they tried to go to the top of the building and claiming that space for a little while. And then they moved early enough to try and find a position on the high ground and were able to also clear out, I think there was a rat for Cybercats over there in the process. But they were just...
01:08:39 Exo was doing too good of a job holding them off. Like you said, there was a potential for a grab lift. They couldn't really make any of it work on that side of things. And it was chaos at the end. But like we said, there were moments from a lot of those squads that really...
01:08:54 worked out well for them. And that was an enjoyable finish, at least in my opinion. Yeah, it was fun. I was a little surprised that Alliance didn't try their luck and essentially kind of played for, you know, second, third place there because the grav lift was there. They had a chance to pull up. I don't know. Like, it's genuinely a tough one. It's a tough call. As soon as you see that gravity plume, right? Like, you know, the comms are coming out from ExoClan. They will have their eyes laser focused.
01:09:24 on that, but that doesn't mean that they're going to lose. I think that was still potentially winnable from Alliance, especially if you're like, well, it's maybe a second place if we play down bottom, but maybe it's a first place if you take that chance and try and take them out up top.
Analyse der Teamleistungen und Strategien
01:09:46
01:09:46 I'm interested to see what we get now in the third and final match on World's Edge out of these teams. We talked about Team Portugal as well at the top of show. My team, to kind of keep our eyes on here today, World's Edge is a map that they are stronger on, and we see them here at least being consistent in that sense, finding themselves here in a top six position. But we get an opportunity to see what happened in the kills department, and it was Cybercats and Alliance that absolutely popped off this time around.
01:10:14 Ja, look at that. 8 kills for Alliance, Cyberkills. Remember, they picked up 0 kills in Game 1. They flipped the script on that one to pick up 13 points here in Game 2. Quite the turnaround in their fortunes.
01:10:34 Yeah, look at that, it's a grim bottom half of the leaderboard there, as you point out.
01:10:58 5 kills, ja, auf der BOTTOM HALF, das heißt 55 KILS für die TOP HALF von diesem Leaderboard.
01:13:18 Welcome back, everyone, to the ALGS. Game number two in the books as we get ready for game number three. It's been looking fiery out here. I love the legend comps that we keep getting exposed to, the diversity, and...
01:13:30 What these Kryptos are doing to stay alive, but also Exo taking the dub after predicting where that final circle was going to be pulling over by Harvester. I was talking a little bit with my friend Genome here about the final circles and how they've been able to shift throughout the different seasons and seeing those Harvester circles usually pulling out outside of Harvester. That hill is the god spot and Exo had gotten the memo.
01:13:51 Yeah, I feel like some of the other directions it can go around Harvester are a little more fair. You know, if it pulls down the sort of the south end, it's a little more flat ground. But the disparity in height between that hill, especially when you've got a character that's able to lock it down, like Watson, maybe even call a stick, just made it so easy for Exo to run away with that game.
01:14:14 And even looking at teams remaining consistent at the very least. Passion, who took game number one and still staying in the endgame for game number two, staying on top in the overall standings thus far. Can they do it again in our final game of World's Edge?
01:14:29 Are they going to falter? Because then we go out to Stormpoint for our final three games here in EMEA. And seeing some of these teams, they like to shift away from a different sort of composition. So seeing teams that can stay consistent is the key here when you're looking at teams like Passion. Consistency is key. I definitely do say that, Vicky. And, you know...
01:14:53 Even just looking at the sort of overall standings for the split in EMEA, I think that's reflected as well, right? There's quite a few teams here who have managed to stay on top regardless of, you know, the matchups between the groups. I think I actually saw a Tiff tweet out before that Element 6 had won the previous two matchups of these groups, right? Groups A versus Group B. So it's interesting to see that they're really lagging behind today.
01:15:23 It's certainly not what we come to expect from them in this matchup.
01:15:29 Yeah, that's actually why I brought up E6 before. I mean, at the moment, in the total league standings in EMEA, E6 is sitting in second, where they had a fantastic day one. Actually, in this lobby, like you mentioned, number one place. But also, I believe it was when they had played the second time in the same lobby. Yeah, getting that back-to-backed up. Not too sure with the shift of meta, where E6 is maybe lying. Maybe they haven't been able to figure out the legend comps with the different perks being implemented into Season 20.
01:15:59 Das haben wir auch für sie gearbeitet.
01:16:28 Phase Cooldown. You have the Sixth Sense. Of course, the passive that tells you when other squads are approaching you, but it's that tactical cooldown that you want to look at. Or then you look at the second half for the Purple Evo Shield perks. You have that Fast Phase. So you have less startup on your tactical windup. 20% less specifically. Or you could always have that portal online to help move your team into a much safer position. It could be a little risky sometimes, though, if you don't know where teams are. Let's say you don't have a blowdown on your team.
01:16:57 Ja, ich denke für Wraitha, das Ultima Cooldown ist definitiv das, was du wählst.
01:17:12 Weil, wenn du 60 Sekunden aus der Ultimation hast, das bedeutet, dass du eine Chance hast, um, die nächste Rotation zu machen, sicherlich via Portal zu machen. Und das ist eine große Sache. Und ich glaube, das andere Trends, die wir sehen haben, Vicky, mit diesen Perk-Choices ist, dass du zwei Wachen kannst. Du kannst die Team-Support-Method oder du kannst wirklich versuchen...
01:17:40 Ja, und sogar mit dem Team-Support-Support-Support-Support-Support.
01:18:06 Bringing in Mad Magnet to Season 20 with these perks, you get the auto-reload shotgun on Nox, very similar to what Gibby has, but it's that Wrecking Ball that catches fire and explodes into a big X. So basically opposite what we see with Fuse Motherload, but instead it's that Wrecking Ball with a big X that can clear so much space and also take care of certain ults that different Legends may put down. I know the New Castle Wall is safe. It could try to at least trigger the Caustic Traps. I know it could immediately...
01:18:35 Ich glaube, die Rampart-Wall ist auch. Und dann, um die extra Pressure, die du kannst auf die Teams, die in die Körner sind, haben Sie zu denken, über das Drill. Du kannst entweder die Big Drill, wo es macht das Drill viel größer, oder du kannst es, wo du ein extra Drill hast, und es ist aktiv für viel länger. So, du kannst so viel Platz mit der Mad Magge, in case du findest dich in ein Pinch. Und wenn du dich auf die Komp, das Cyberkatz ist, dann kommt in Clutch, wenn du dein Portal hast, in einem Ort, in einem Ort, in einem Ort, in einem Ort,
01:19:04 Die Mad Maggie ist da zu helfen.
01:19:10 Ja, control space, das ist eigentlich eine interessante Art, Vicky, weil sie ist quasi wie die OPPOSITE von, sagen wir, Wotzen oder Rampart, wo ihr ihr eigenes Raum ist. Mad Maggie ist quasi wie, wie sie zu kontrollieren, die Enemies' Raum ist, richtig? Ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr,
01:19:39 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
01:19:56 So close, you can taste it. We still get to see the Bangalore being utilized just as we had seen in the previous seasons, but it's the inclusion of the Raids that we highlighted, the Mad Maggie that we saw from CyberCats, Horizon, Horizon's pick rate actually declining with so much more happening with the Cossack, because if you take that gravity lift into the high ground and you're met with a Cossack, that Nox grenade, especially with the Purple Perk Tree, can just cover so much space that you have to worry about.
01:20:24 Es ist ziemlich oppressive an dieser Stelle, ist es? Und ja, wir haben auch schon gesagt, wie wenn man ein paar Korstic-Picks in der Lobby beginnt, dann wird es einfach so ein Virus geben. Es ist einfach so viele andere Teams, die einfach nicht mehr so machen. Sie brauchen ihren eigenen Entry-Frag oder Korstic-Pick zu können, weil es...
01:20:48 40 bullets all up here for the R99, Kurev better be...
01:21:17 Oh, those hipfire shots were not cooking, but Bavis is trying his best with 15 bullets in a dream. Do you call it here? Rotate out. You try to fight for what you can after getting the knock. Try to bait out with the res. It's fives on the other side. Full blue here is this 1v1, but again, it's 15 bullets enough.
01:21:48 Oh, that's not many to go with. Does he need to try and grab? Okay, there's the banner just looking for some extra. You know, his teammates coming. Hey, there's at least a couple of shield cells in here. I think that might have been a res we just heard. So come on, you need to push this. You absolutely cannot let him get that off. Oh, but without the Arc Star there as some extra help, there was no other ammo, I believe, inside of this box. At least he did not pick up a gun. Tries to take some shots, plays around the crate, tries to slide off.
01:22:15 No Bullets, he can only duke it out, he can only punch him out at this point. He's doing the same thing though, he's won! Where can he go? We've got a boxing match here! And Viya's trying to get the wall jump here just to catch up. Okay, now it's down to your mechanics. Can you jump and slide further away? He's gonna try and block him off. Takes the time to pick up the nemesis. I think he's gonna finish him off, there we go. Last Bullets. That was huge.
01:22:44 Huge, off the gravity lift. I mean, Gino, listen, this is not the fighting game I was expecting from Apex Legends, but I'll absolutely take it with the boxing match. No Pathfinders Arena here. We create our own arena at Overlook, and LVH, with crumbs to work with, end up on top, as well as have that ring console before they see where this next ring is going to be pulling, which is all the way towards the northeast, towards Countdown.
01:23:08 Hmm, ja, ich bin noch ein bisschen Skyhook in, als auch. Um, so... ...definitely, Teams kann, uh, ihr wisst, ihre Chancen hier an, ob sie in den Countdown offices wollen, oder vielleicht occupy einen Skyhook-Bilding. Uh, honestly, es kann einfach nur auf, wo ihr Team kommt, und was ist vor allem für euch, in terms of Priorität.
01:23:32 Ich habe ein bisschen PTSD gesehen, ich habe gesehen, wie es auf den Outskirts des Countdown und Skyhook ist, wie in den Open, bei den Rocks, wo ExoClan ist, und es ist ein Bloodbath für viele Leute, die sich aus der Skyhook auszutzen, weil viele Leute, die sich aus der Skyhook auszutzen, weil viele Leute, die sich aus der Bildung auszutzen, aber dann, als das Circle aufzutzen, du bist einfach für die Teams zu nehmen, von Countdown. Looks wie zwei Reds, die Controller haben gehört, von der 30-30-30, haben sie gehört, und sie wollen, dass sie nicht involviert sind.
01:24:02 Hm-hm-hm-hm. Invite came a little bit late for them, but better late than never, you say? I feel like you often see this sometimes in the Game 3s or Game 6s, right? Where it's like, maybe you don't want to do this right at the start, but you surprise them in the last game on the map.
01:24:25 2 Rats 1 Controller have the advantage. I mean, this is definitely a squad that we've already highlighted that has no issue bringing the heat. And with the Havoc glaring through this entire lobby, honestly, a weapon that is so strong going into this season with the adjustments and changes with the Digi, not going to be able to be on SMGs and even adding some more recoil. Looking at the R9, 2 Rats 1 Controller are looking to frag out, especially being still on this Lifeline pick. Sends out the Arcstar, oppressing the duo that's stuck inside of this building.
01:24:54 Hmm, Bob, we got another fight over here at the Vault Tunnel here. Alliance, uh, with effect here. Actually the first to fall, but they have a portal to go through. Ah, isn't that handy?
01:25:23 Looks a little suspicious. I don't know. They're standing on the other side. Sanka, just trying to take a little head glitch here. I mean, I know you can see 40% versus tags in the background. I can assure you they're nowhere near. They're all the way back in Thermal Station, so they're not at risk of taking a third party or anything like that right now. Alliance is just going to have to pull out after that initial knock and reset.
01:25:49 Hockey's has got the setup right now. He's got the Gold Mag on the G7, the Turbo on the Havoc. Talking about the Havoc, definitely being one of the favorite weapons that I've been noticing across multiple regions right now. It's been nice to see as two Ratswood Controller after their rotate actually run to Orglis in Hungary. Coming out of the tunnels, also having the Red Evo Shields too. Matapi yeets the Nox Grenade over to the other side after they call in the Creeping Barrage.
01:26:17 Ich glaube, die verschiedenen Positionen, die sie zu halten, verschiedene Angle zu halten, aber sie spielen auf der anderen Seite der Fenseline, sie haben die Krak, sie haben die Knochen, sie haben die Knochen, auf den Misty. Das ist ein Team, die sie auch viel mehr Volatil haben, und sie haben die Positionen, die sie haben, als zwei Ratswin-Controller, die sie für ihre Leben spielen. Ja, sie sind sie in die Zone, oder? Oder sie sind sie da? Ich bin nicht sicher, dass der Caustic-Ultimate kommt aus Matafe, da war es sehr spekulativ.
01:26:46 But they do get the knock in the end, so that's something. But if they don't want to follow 2R1C into the zone...
Entscheidende Kämpfe und strategische Wendepunkte
01:26:56
01:26:56 I mean, where do they go next? Obviously, they've got the Recon character, so there's a couple of Survey Beacons in front of them where they can get some information, both here in Ghost Town, but also over in Fragment East as well, that's on their way to the Circle. And we'll see with the zone pool, Vicky, but you might be getting, I don't know if it was your wish or your greatest fear, but we might be getting that pool underneath the Raven.
01:27:22 Let me tell you, rank changes you a little bit, and if you see where these circles have been pulled, you can't forget them. Maybe you'll even find them in your dreams sometimes after a long play session of Apex, but taking a look at 40% worse, who unfortunately haven't really been able to put themselves on the board.
01:27:41 Für die letzten zwei Games haben sie definitiv struggled. Das muss sein, dass sie das Momentum finden. Denn das ist das letzte Spiel auf Worlds-Edge, bevor wir das Transition in Stormpoint machen. Und Shiv ist separatet von dem Team. Und look, wer ist hier hinter dem. Es ist Alliance!
01:27:58 Shiv, he goes up the zipline. Oh, he's dead. He's dead. Oh, no. He's being caught off completely here. Can't even... No, actually, some great shots to cover come out from his teammates on Mirage Atoile here. And they still take Shiv down, though. There you go. The 30-30 shot from Alliance effect coming through. They want to drop. Get the finish.
01:28:23 Oh, this is huge. The fact that it was the Cossack that dropped down to try to get the res is ginormous with the fact that they have this building secured. They could definitely get the res, but can they get the reset with them being separated, or is Elias gonna capitalize off of the solo who has height after getting that crap? Oh, wow. Ah, Fett, are you kidding me?
01:28:40 Almost pumps out 100 with the Alternator from below. But there we go. They do get the full finish. So now the question is, you know, can they get the rest of them as well? There goes Mandy.
01:28:55 As we were just talking about how they needed this, Alliance got a whiff of our conversation and decided to just put a stop to whatever could have been the potential of 40% worse. Now they have to see if they could be at least 40% better on Stormpoint. Red Dragons, a team that have made that rotate now, looking to see the squads that have already found themselves in a building over by Countdown. This is pest control inside of here. There's also a beacon over to their left, but it's the EMP that roars out in their ears before they try to make the initial push.
01:29:24 It's unfortunate too, you know, knowing, having that information from Red Dragon, especially with the EMP and seeing that it was two that they were able to hit off of the damage that they made. They were able to just fully send it.
01:29:51 Ich bin sicher, dass sie das Spiel haben, und komplett aus der Duel von der Bühne sind. Jetzt schauen wir uns die Ratswim-Controller. Sie sind auf der Highground hier in Skyhook. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob sie die Informationen haben, wie die Circles sind. Aber sie haben die Schatz, dass sie auf der Squad auf dem Platz sind. Sie haben eine Rotation gemacht. Sie können sich vorstellen, dass sie von Overlook auf den Weg nach Fragment nach Skyhook haben.
01:30:15 Yeah, well, I mean, they definitely don't have that info, right? Because they're not even playing a controller character this time. They do have the crypto there. There is two survey beacons available to them within Skyhook. So all of those teams running the crypto are actually going to get a really good sense of maybe not where the circle's pulling, but at least where everyone else is playing as we see it shift. Oh, it goes all the way west here. Team Portugal!
01:30:43 I mean, you said it, Vicky. If Kashira's there, so is the zone. They're always ahead of it, and I mean, I guess it helps when you know where these circles are going to be pulling, but Kashira's such a good IGO when it comes to calling out these final circles, and they've definitely created a perimeter. I mean, no one's a land here in this house. All the land here, I mean, for free? We take those for 15 to Portugal. And they're definitely not going to be moving out anytime soon, but you have to imagine with the amount of cryptos that we have in this lobby.
01:31:11 These fences may be taken down soon, but they could also prevent other teams from taking this evil harvester that is right inside, or rather on the outskirts of this building. Yeah, teams may come looking for that at some point if they're just about to upgrade to purple or red. Could be a free kill. We're definitely seeing some scuffles that wouldn't have happened before over these...
01:31:38 These inflection points around the map. They've also got a ring console in Lava Fissure that will be in the zone. Potential for them to scan that and get even further information later on into the game. But we'll just have to see how many other teams start pulling up into Lava Fissure once they realize what is happening.
01:31:58 Oh, they hear a squad right above them, and that squad also got the scan on the beacon. See where that circle's gonna be pulling. But look at the evil shield difference here. This is why it's so important to highlight. Each six has a purple, a red, and a blue. Meanwhile, it looks like the squad above them are still all set up on blue. And that's all thanks to the lifeline, too, you have to imagine. The evil harvester cash that they get from those care packages really come in clips, aside from the Kraber that they get, too.
01:32:25 Yeah, big deal. So yeah, I'm assuming that Kraber came from Slab's Carepack here. Oh, EMP isn't going to stop them pushing in and destroying 2R1C. And that was Storm 1C in the same building as two other squads, by the way. Full English looking to get involved potentially here too as they play on the outskirts of Infinity. See E6 looking down the balcony.
01:32:51 Oh man, Kester's in Godspot again.
01:33:07 Exo, I bet you. Oh, look right now. Actually, they were there from the very beginning. They called it out so early. That squad has not left by the rocks, but they also are denying themselves the evil shield opportunity to getting whatever they need. So have to definitely take a look at that squad and see how they try to play that final circle with so many other teams fighting over here by countdown. Red dragon's mines.
01:33:29 Now looking to stay on the high ground, getting right behind Red Dragon. They do not expect it. No Turbo on the Havoc as he slides in. He's got the blue.
01:33:39 Max hier, Sonka ist jetzt in der Fall, um das Knochen mit dem Prowler zu machen. Man, nice shots, da kommen aus. Red Dragon, jetzt. Do they really wanna play this? I mean, they kinda have to win this. They can't really run away. If they get out of this, as not a trio, honestly, they will get chewed up and spat out by the other teams closer to the zone.
01:34:06 Oh, Fito literally won. Dukes now trying to duke them over on the other side. Gets the next knock right afterwards. He is going absolutely crazy. He's getting great from a team from afar, but playing off this pillar though, can they get the reset? Fito's literally just trying to heal up real quick. There is one knock right in front of them. Sanka's right behind him. The fact that Red Dragons is still alive is crazy, but so is Sanka.
01:34:29 E6 went out as well, by the way, so that's been a horror start for them to the day today on Groups A and B. The zone's closing now. Red Dragon and mine, they've taken too long. I think both of them are probably going to get picked off by these other teams as they try and make it towards the circle here. Passion and stay healthy. I think you're going to have their number. Orglis and Hungry here, they've tried to move up and usurp.
01:34:57 Exo-Clan hier von der Fantastik-Spot, der sie in ist, mit der Kraber.
01:35:25 Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja, ja,
01:35:55 Das Team hat uns zu pushen, okay? Es ist die Passion, die ich jetzt fühle mich, Gino. Morghlus und Hungry clear this side für jetzt, bevor andere Teams machen ihre Rotate durch die Rocks. Ja, sie wissen wie groß das war. Wir calleden out Exo in eine fantastische Spot. Und wieder einmal, um, sie picken die richtige Spot für die Endgame. Unfortunately, unlike Game 2, sie können nicht aufhören.
01:36:21 ANC outplayed, they've been playing the top of Trials for quite a while, so that gives them a free walk into this last zone. They just have to worry about the sightlines here moving in towards Orglis and Hungry. You can see over on the western side there, Vicky, Alliance just now setting up their evac tower for a late rotate in over the mountains.
01:36:44 Das ist das Wrecking Ball von Mad Maggie.
01:37:06 Mit den Boostpads auf dem ground, Allianz landen auf dem Team. Portugal wird 2-NUK und sie sofort getötet haben. All die Arbeit in der Gebäude sind einfach vor der Augen. Und jetzt Hockey versuchen sie zu pressen. Und jetzt Hockey versuchen sie zu fangen. Und sie versuchen sie zu fangen. Oh mein Gott, Hockey ist mit den Schatz. Kann der Lucky clean-up.
01:37:26 Ah, das macht es nicht. No, es ist ANC, Outplayed. Und jetzt Auglis in den Hungry sind. Sie versuchen, Outplayed in die Zone zu tun. Sie haben es geschafft. Passion, wieder einmal haben es geschafft. Aber sie müssen mit der Krabber der Matabe.
01:37:44 Metafe sagt, ihr könnt meine Spieler, aber ihr könnt nicht meine Wins nehmen!
01:38:17 Wow, and that was off of what, them landing by Lava Syphon, trying to go over to Overlook, making that rotate from Overlook, very similar to what we had seen from Two Ratswood Controller into Skyhook Countdown area to fight their way from Countdown into that final circle where they finally navigated around Skyhook. It was just a big pathway for that squad, but they were absolutely looking hungry and played that so well, even inside that Skyhook building.
01:38:43 Yeah, I mean, the turning point, though, obviously, was taking that fight with ExoClan, right? That was pretty much all or nothing for them. And in the end, they got it all. They got the win and walked away with quite a few kills as well.
01:38:58 Das war wirklich großartig. Ich glaube, vor dem Spiel, sie waren in 7.0 für den letzten 2.0. Das 3.0 war großartig. Wir sehen sie mit einem 15-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill-Kill.
01:39:27 Still in Trials, basically, the entire time. Managing to take some shots at the teams that were fighting in Skycook. Looking all the way down, though, Red Dragon with 4kp. Even Mind with 4kp. These are the teams that were fighting over by Countdown.
01:39:41 Oh, und dann, uh, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um
01:40:06 Ja, sie bekommen die KP. Ich meine, mit dem 2-Rats-Wit-Controller haben gesehen, dass sie sich selbst ausfragen haben, natürlich. Aber sie bekommen die KP, ähnlich wie das Team. Aber sie haben nicht geschafft, die Rotation zu finden, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem. Das ist ähnlich wie E6 in der Lobby, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem, wo sie nachdem.
01:40:35 Und jetzt sehen sie, auf der zweiten Seite, nach dem finalen Spiel, das war wirklich unglaublich, dass so viele andere Teams, wie Orglis und Hungry, quasi die Rest des Lobbys.
01:40:47 Yeah, exactly. Those teams just soaking up a lot of those points is really making it hard for some of these other teams. You can't just grab a few points here and really waltz on by. You have to be performing extremely well if you want to be at the top of a lobby like this.
01:41:06 Yeah, and with 15 KP going to at least one squad, that's denying the opportunity for a lot of the other teams that may want to have a pop-off game for Worlds Edge before we make that transition into Storm Point, essentially just denied from them. So that was great awareness from Orglis and also just playing into that final circle. You know they're going to be skyrocketing in the overall leaderboards, but that's crazy to see too, Genom, that we get to kind of discuss and highlight what we could see perhaps in going on to Storm Point and what that could change for some of these teams.
01:41:36 Yeah, I'm definitely excited for that. Obviously, we're seeing a good spread of legends there in World's Edge. Will we continue to see that in Stormpoint? Will it tighten up? Will we get even more available to us? Yeah, hard to predict at this point, honestly. I mean, we talked at the start of the day about how Caustic has actually bled across into Stormpoint, where previously it was more of a specialist World's Edge pick.
01:42:01 Yeah, and it's cool to talk about how we may see that consistency all the way through, whether it be teams sticking to the caustic or we're going to see a shift away from that. But what has been interesting to see is not only did we highlight the rates, obviously, in World's Edge, if we could maybe see that going at the Storm Point, or if we're going to see an increase in Valkyries, especially teams that may land on the north side of Storm Point because there's so much space to cover. But before we get ahead of ourselves, I want to bring back my girl Glitter here into the conversation because we have had a fantastic time.
01:42:31 I feel like everybody came to play. People are realizing that the clock is starting to tick down when it comes to how much available time is left to put themselves in a solid spot, whether that's for regional finals or whether they're really focusing down for LAN, because we've seen some pop-off performances from teams that were
01:42:55 In the middle or even farther below that in the overall standings. I mean, the fact that we have had passion in the discussion three games in a row, whether that's a first place or a second place finish. I mean, that type of consistency from a team that needed it, because I think they were somewhere around 17th or something heading into today. That's huge. I mean, what is it the meta or what is it?
01:43:17 What changed, you know? I mean, I don't think so. You can see there's a very specific sort of style, the passion of playing, right? You know, really just lurking in the shadows when we get towards those endgames and then popping their head out at just the right time. And I don't think that's got, you know, anything to do with the Legends they're playing, honestly.
01:43:39 Maybe a little bit, depending on what kind of scans and stuff they have available to them. But yeah, it's been a very noticeable playstyle from them because it's been the same plan game after game. Whatever it is, Genome, it's working. Okay, let's see if they can continue this consistency onto Stormpoint, though, or if it was just a World's Edge type thing. Obviously, though, before we get into Stormpoint, we've got lots of stuff to talk about. It's the half...
01:44:07 Es ist Zeit für uns zu sehen, uns zu sehen, unsere ersten drei Spiele, denn wir haben einen riesen Start zu heute so far. Specifically, match number one, Ready to Bring It. Okay, wir sahen, dass das die finish in Skyhook, über die Drill Tower, und wir haben eben gesagt, die Team in der Conversation mit Passion hatten, eine Phänomenal Position, als Team Portugal, wo sie kind of...
01:44:36 Das war's für Passion.
01:45:06 Ja, ich meine, das war eine der besten Strait-Forward-Games zu sehen. Exo ist auf der Top, mit der Watssinn. Und das war der Punkt, okay, Effekt throws out die Gravity Lift. Waren sie zu hoch? Ich meine, okay, so sie sind EMP'ed, sie sind BANG-Alted.
01:45:27 Ja, ich weiß nicht, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum sie nicht gewonnen haben, weil, wenn ihr Aehm stammt von EMP ist, also wenn ihr 50 Shields über die Bedeutung auf die Bedeutung für die Team ist, dann ist es sehr gefährlich. Ich weiß nicht, warum sie nicht auf Exoclant haben wollte, aber das ist auch, dass sie einen 2nd Platz haben. Oh, sorry, es war der 3rd Platz hier.
01:45:52 Listen, then we move on into match number three. And we get consistency out of some of these teams again. We got to see something out of Alliance here. Team Portugal in that kill feed. Also up here in these top spots. But at the end of the day, Vicky, talk me through these final moments.
Teamdynamik und Strategien im Fokus
01:46:11
01:46:11 Es war so viel Chaos. Du kannst sehen, dass die Bloodhound ist viel mehr oft, mit dem wir sehen, Kaustik und Bangalore. Aber Orglis und Hungry waren absolut Hunger mit der Art der Circle, aus Skylook. Aber mit der Weise, dass sie auch andere Positionen sind. Even mit Metafe, mit zwei Spielern aufzunehmen. Das waren zwei Spielern, dass sie ihre Fokus von einem Teamfighten haben, leave ihre Sola behind. Und das hat Kinda und Tyler zu ermöglichen.
01:46:41 Was war das Solo? Das war alles auf der anderen Seite, die die Kossack war. Und mit einem großen Spiel auf dem Spiel, 15kp in der Pocket, aside von der DUB, hat es versucht, sie sich in den Overall-Standings auf 3-Games einzeln. 15kp ist unglaublich. Und jetzt sind sie in einem sehr komfortablenen 1st-Place-Spot.
01:47:02 mit der Insane Consistency hier heute. Aber als wir uns sehen, die Rest des Series Results so far, Genome, wer ist auf dich? Ich meine, Passion hat 30 Placement Points gerade jetzt, als die Make-up der 41 Punkte overall. Das ist eine der meisten Insane Stat-Line. Ja. Das habe ich gesehen. Ich meine, ich denke, bis zu diesem Punkt, Passion war es...
01:47:28 45% of their points were coming from placement. So the fact that they're getting 75% today is unreal. This, like I said, we've seen some really, really strong performances for some of these teams. On the flip side of that, Vicky, you've got 2R1C who's getting a lot of their points from their kills instead of their placement points. They've been super aggressive so far today.
01:47:54 Yeah, it's crazy to see how Kill Heavy at the top end of the overall standings is sitting. I mean, even looking all the way down to Alliance, who still remain in the conversation of top three, even including a new player into this roster where they feel very comfortable, where they're standing and the way that they approach these final circles. But then I want to focus on the second half of the lobby. We talk about E6 a lot because E6 was the first-placing team both times that we've seen these lobbies meet up again in the past. So the fact that they're on that second page, still in 11th place with 9,
01:48:24 Ja, definitiv, einige Teams hier, werden wir hier machen eine große Konzerted-Pusch im nächsten drei Matches, ob das eine Map sie besser auf versus Worlds-Edge oder eine Team, die einfach nur ein paar Punkte zu bekommen. Ich meine, ich weiß, wir sagen, es ist ein bisschen Zeit, aber...
01:48:50 I don't know what happened, where the time went, but these teams don't have a lot of time left, whether that's today or just one more match day after this for at least Group A, if I'm not mistaken. So we've got to put some pep in the step, okay? I'm excited to see what they can do here on Storm Point.
01:49:12 You know that we always also have something for all of you at home, and today is no different. Alright, you can tune into any Apex Legends stream right now with drops enabled, and you will earn holosprays while you watch your favorite streamers all season long. Now, you notice the drops will change every two weeks, so at the end of it all, you can end up with six new holosprays. You gotta tune in, make sure you're earning those.
01:49:41 Wards, denn sie sind wirklich cool. Ich kann sogar nicht wählen, welches ich mag. Vielleicht ist Valkyrie, ich weiß nicht. Sie sind fantastisch, Vicky. Genome, wir müssen das Ding aufhören, das heißt, es ist Zeit für dich zu machen, oder eine NAP, oder was du lieber. Du bist ein bisschen, okay? Wir sehen uns wieder hier in ein bisschen. Für jetzt, es ist mir und Vicky.
Storm Point und seine strategischen Herausforderungen
01:50:06
01:50:06 We're looking towards Storm Point. We talked about it. We've got to see what our teams can bring to the table here this time around.
01:50:15 And with a new map comes in a potential different 50-50s, although Cybercat does like to split their loop between Fulls of Camp and Echo, so we're not really expecting too much chaos to ensue in that area, but we do have each of our teams landing in their respective POIs, and with the perks coming into play, the Valkyries that we've been seeing in these lobbies too, you have to imagine how that Skyward Dive crosses so much distance on a map like Stormpoint, especially if your goal is to get the
01:50:45 Kossak oder Taxi, the big boys. I mean, even in NA, we saw Optik playing Gibby and Kossak and Valkyrie. If that's the end goal here, you have a Kossak on your team like we have been seeing. And like what Genome said, we've been seeing, especially on Stormpoint still, even out of World's Edge. And that may be the end goal for some of these teams that want to prioritize those rotates.
01:51:04 Ja, wir haben definitiv noch einen Augenblick auf ein paar Gruppen. Also, LVH in Aftermath, wir haben gesehen, wie der Contest war für sie all durch World's Edge. Das ist etwas, was sie nicht mehr zu worry about, hier an Stormpoint. Also, vielleicht eine Chance für sie mehr Punkte auf dem Board mit ein bisschen weniger Early-Games Pressure, you know? Hmm, okay. Wir müssen uns auf die Legend-Compositions in eine Minute hier, während unsere Teams getrennt in ihre POIs.
01:51:35 What I've been really excited to see so far, Glitter, is the different race lifelines. Will they still be used here in this lobby? And I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me or if Mandy's just had it, but 40% worse. Maybe bringing a Pathfinder to the table. We'll have to tune into them later because they definitely need to see some signs of life after their lackluster performance on World's Edge. LVH at least doesn't have to worry about a 50-50 happening over here, but...
01:52:02 In der Outskirts, über die Nordseite von Stormpoint, hier, nach Nordpad, MIND und Team Portugal machen ihren Weg nach dem anderen.
01:52:20 Ich glaube, wir sehen uns schon wieder in den Meta. Ich glaube, dass sie, nachher zu sehen, ist, dass sie heute sehr gut ist, als wir hier sehen, als wir hier sehen, wie die ersten Zonen wird.
01:52:42 Also, remember, this means that they're going to have to find time and opportunity to run out, grab that Evo Harvester, hit those bins if they can, get some of their shields leveled up, because if they sit still, they'll be so much less protected than the rest of those teams rotating in.
01:52:57 Ja, und das ist warum die Lifeline ist so wichtig, auch. Wie du sagst, nicht nur die Evo Catchers aus deinem Care Package, aber du könntest sogar sogar ein Power Weapon während du an es, auch. Wenn du bei der Circle getötet bist, oder in der Final Circle Positionierung, das Care Package kann definitiv kommen in Clutch. Mine ist auch, dass du diese Prowlers auch noch mehr Evo Shield Charge hast. Und du könntest auch die Prowlers sehen, die Prowlers, oder sogar die Prowlers, oder sogar die Spiders, oder sogar die Prowlers, oder die Spiders.
01:53:26 Ja, es ist eine sehr unterschiedliche Situation hier. Obviamente, das zu Sturm Point ist, und wir können Team Portugal sehen. All right, ich meine, dang. Ein bisschen peek und ein bisschen Shieldcrack.
01:53:52 Sie sehen, dass sie ein Evo-Harvester sind. Sie wissen, dass sie ein Evo-Harvester sind. Sie wissen, dass sie ein Evo-Harvester wollen. Sie wissen, dass sie ein Evo-Harvester wollen. Sie wissen, dass sie ein Evo-Harvester wollen.
01:54:18 Oh, you're zooming right through Stay Healthy. They want some of the heat here and they take some shots. They're still playing off that slight low ground though. Leaving Mexico isolated actually in the smoke for right now before trying to meet up with the rest of the team while Matt Aftermath says, all right, well, our priorities are in trying to get...
01:54:34 Evo Harvester wir können. Und es gab einen auf dem Norden, wo Aftermath das jetzt geht. Aber andere Teams, besonders bei Wall Command Center, haben die gleiche Evo Cache. Wir müssen sehen, wie viele Teams versuchen zu kämpfen für das Evo Charge. Wir schauen uns auf die Barometer, diese Teams mit der Evac Tower. Exoclan, eine Member zu gehen, um die Replicator zu ...
01:55:00 Das ist definitiv ein bisschen schwer für ExoClan, wenn ich nicht verstanden bin. Ich glaube, es war 2R1C, der einfach ein bisschen weit auf der Rotation hat und versucht ExoClan, um sie zu verändern.
01:55:21 hier, als du sagst, werden sie jetzt gezwungen werden, als ein 2 und komplett verändern, die wie sie jetzt pushen, in die nächsten Cirkel 07 finden, um zu gehen.
01:55:32 und wir wissen, dass das möglich ist für Kold, weil sie wollen es, aber auch alle anderen haben, einen Ort zu finden. Und jetzt haben sie ein guter Job, auf Blueshield zu halten. Diese Caustic Barrels werden sehr großartig in der Zonung, able zu durch die Smokesmacht. Nice Schatz kommen aus Graceful, aber es geht um zu Bloodhound, und jetzt Kolder ist ein Duo.
01:55:57 The fact that Amphi still got that knock is crazy, even with the initial push right there with the Cossack Noxgas. JMW is the last one alive on the other side. You can see the pains going out. What is he going to do? Do you navigate away, take your loss? I mean, seeing the fact that Nagzanatski is pretty healthy here with those Evo Shields, he realizes that this is unwinnable, is just rather navigating away and retreating instead of trying to push into a two-man. I think that...
01:56:26 Das war nur ein bisschen schlechtes Timing, schlechtes Coordination auf dem Kold. Es sieht wie Graceful ist der einzige, der den Weg gemacht hat. Aber jetzt sieht es wie 07 hat ein guter Platz. Sie müssen nur ein Solo auf dem Kold, während CyberCats starten zu machen. Checking durch diese Wand hier, ob sie sich um jemanden in Jurassic zu beschäftigen. Sie wissen, dass es ein Squad aus dem Weg ist.
Taktische Manöver und Teamkämpfe im Fokus
01:56:51
01:56:51 Und sie müssen eine Chance geben, denn sie wollen nicht hier sein, zwischen jemanden. Nichts, besonders hier bei Jurastik. Du hast Pylon, in dem jemanden möchte. Rotate in. Du hast das Quick Scan, 5 Sekunden, Perk, auf dem Board hier. Freelonzie.
01:57:11 This is one of the teams also rocking the Valkyrie, by the way, so they will be able to get information if they take the Skyward Dive or even an evac tower overhead by any of the squads that may be in the middle of rotating. LVH, one of the teams that are slow rotating because they want to prioritize a Survey Beacon, see where other teams are right now, while also being able to boost up those Evo Shields.
01:57:33 Much healthier LVH. And they've got a little bit of space to play with. They're right on the edge of the next circle. So they've got some space and time and not too many teams to worry about. Red Dragon Jukes down to almost no health. Able to get the bat off and get the shields back up. But they are also down to a 2. Trying to hold off across the way mine go down in the kill feed. Now we're down to just fatuity here for Red Dragon. Trying to make an escape here while getting those heals off.
01:58:02 Hey, at the very least, the third party may have helped him get away just in time, hiding behind the bamboo tree right in front of him. But those prowler shots, unfortunately, were just not hitting for him. So he was unable to give some suppressed fire and trying to maybe get a reset going. But right behind him, you can see, stay healthy.
01:58:26 Infinity, Aftermath, over to the other side. More of these teams are going to be rotating from the wall side, looking at Alliance and Team Portugal that are just about to meet, but it's this circle. Command Center with 07 taking that fight against Quold has now set them up in a great position on the outskirts of Command Center, but mostly looking at the teams that are going to be forced to travel uphill, looking like Stay Healthy, Passion, playing on the outskirts of that Command Center, closer to the Spider Den area.
01:58:58 A little bit of an overview here. We've got Alliance going up against Team Portugal. Both teams keeping each other in their sights right now. Not wanting to force too much action up at the wall. I believe there's one other team up on the other side of Team Portugal as well on the other side of wall. So they're kind of finding themselves in the middle of everything. Just taking their time here. Meanwhile, 2R1C.
01:59:25 Slow rotating. They've got loads of space here on the map, which is giving them an opportunity to at least get those Evos nice and healthy. Same situation with ANC outplayed. They're now on purples and looking quite comfortable. Oh, they heard something. They know that there was a team right above them. They set up a Cossack trap right behind them by the zipline, and they're just going to rotate away. Yep, that's going to be Team Portugal once again waiting on the high ground, but wandering here.
01:59:50 If A&C knew that they have Blue Evo Shield, still would have been risky. I mean, even looking at LVH right behind them, they actually got away just in time. But as they make this rotate, Aftermath is playing on the edge of where the circle is going to be pulling, so they will be met with another team soon. Fighting now on the outskirts of Command Center. It's E6, and I've taken this building up on the north side of the zipline, over on the other side of that. See Alliance inside of the building over by wall.
02:00:16 They will have to leave Wall eventually for this next circle with three other teams meeting them on the other side of where Wall is.
02:00:28 hier zu spielen, als sie sind auf der sloweren Seite dieser Zonen-Collapse. Aber sie werden bald machen. Sie versuchen, was ist sicher. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie wissen, dass die Team, eine Team aus dem, ist ein Duo in Pest-Control. Sie spielen das ein bisschen safer. Aber sie werden müssen hier machen. ANC-Out played in A-Choke mit LVH.
02:00:54 Wir haben ein bisschen zurück und zurück. Wir versuchen, die Beasts der Hunt zu nehmen. Die Spiders versuchen sie zu geben, ein bisschen mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu geben. Es ist nicht nur die Spiders, sondern auch die Spiders auf dem Map. Axe ist jetzt in die Position, um die Artstar zu verhindern, und die Caustic Barrels zu verwenden.
02:01:15 Aber er ist in ein guter Platz, wo seine Team-Mate kann seine Backen, um ihn zu geben, um ihn zu verabschieden. Wenn diese Team überlegen, LVH-Team fliehen über ihre Hände. Sie stellen sich um, dass wir das Squad-Mitglied haben, oder sind wir das nächste Choke-Mitglied zu ihrem Norden? Da ist ein weiterer Kampf passiert hier, als SPS-Mitglied in es. Das ist Team Portugal, all auf Blue Shields. Jetzt sind alle in dieser Storm-Aff...
02:01:44 Aftermath doing a good job, at least taking out some people, but everyone taking big chunks of health damage right now, having to back off and try and get these heals, at least on behalf of LVH, maybe regretting moving back into the storm and having to continue this engagement. You can see it's LVH. Team Portugal are now out. Aftermath decide to escape, and it was looking like ANC Athlete might try to move in as well. Alliance having finally made their move in.
02:02:09 Wo soll der Solo gehen? Ich weiß nicht!
02:02:27 There are so many spots on the side of Stormpoint that you would just never expect. Oh, Taken to the Skies, LVH just cannot catch a break with these Rotates. This is a good example and why to highlight how early Rotates just really help out when you're running a composition like this, especially with the Cossack. They are paying for it now. It's outplayed. Pinch him on the other side from another squad that was shooting at them from Cascade Falls. That is Orglis and Hungry with those 30-30 shots ringing in the air.
02:02:56 Andy Jax has found himself in a crevice here with the rest of his team and they're here and they're happy with it with the replicator being right next to them if they need to get any bats or med kits looking at Willem who's only got one syringe left.
02:03:08 We also saw that Alliance was able to find that solo on pest control in the kill feed. So now Alliance has cleared out a little bit of space around them. They are sitting a little bit more comfortably as Orglis and Hungry continue just to kind of be watching the peripheral. They too will start have to making a move in here in just a few moments. They're trying to see who they can push through in order to do that. Looks like there might be...
02:03:32 Cybercats flying overhead as Orglas makes their move. And yeah, that is Cybercats. They have now flown past them, trying to find some safe space to coexist. But Ilonzi taking lots of damage on the landing. Cybercats now down to just Ranches as they are taking so many hits from everyone around them. But the double time coming in clutch as Ranches gets you some cover for right now. Hopefully get eliminated in your feeds here.
02:03:59 I'm saying hockey is with this Mozem. It has been cooking up in his hands here. Sees the Crypto Drone. Unfortunately, though, does not have the turbo, so he still has that wind-up here with 14 squads left trying to get uphill while these other teams exiting out from the outskirts of Cascade are trying to fight for their lives. 40% worse, right on top of Orglis and Hungry Core playing off that low ground edge. Glitter, you wanted to see it in action. Here it is, 40% worse.
02:04:27 Sie haben nur einen Punkt gewonnen. Ich meine, das Zip-Line ist nicht so weit. Aber er ist zumindest auf dem Team. Ich möchte die Mobilität sehen, okay? Wir haben Feast-Of-The-Hunt gepostet und sie sind zu machen, hier. So wir schauen mal, was ihre comms sind. Smokin' auf der anderen Seite. Wir haben die Leute zu töten.
02:04:51 Das ist der Blum. Die Dying. Die Dying. 100 HP und Blum. 10 HP und Blum. Du kannst du mir später spielen. Ja, wir können. Ja, wir können. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin. Ich bin.
02:05:21 Okay, listen, Vicky, I know they didn't win that engagement, but the shots at the end there were nasty. Man, so close here. E6 now so close to losing themselves, but slap with the hemlock. Takes out of seven. That heady.
02:05:48 Was crucial here and navigates away with the lifeline being the lifeline that they need to maintain placement points. Two rats, one controller though now gets to move in and scoop up all the loot at their feet as if Christmas came early. See, this is what happened when 07 took the good spot off of Cold. Everybody pushes in for it and now there's just more teams trying to get inside of that side of Command Center. Meanwhile, Orglis and Hungry have to make a move in and they've run into Passion, a team that has been in top two all day so far when it came to World's Edge.
02:06:18 Orglis and Hungry, though, just coming off of a win with really high KP, so this should be a good fight. Okay, he's got the wingman. Don't let us out this time. We were looking at those shots. They came out on top of those wingman shots. A little sus. As he's just trying to hold a little head glitch over to the side, they see that they're rotating over on the other side of the boulder, so they decide to take the high ground here, but this is a much better spot to hold for Orglis and Hungry as long as they clear this side.
02:06:46 Wir werden sehen, wie das funktioniert für sie. Meanwhile, wir haben Allianz. Still trying to battle it out in this area. Now, sie sind auf gegen Infinite und zu 2. Hacky ist nicht mehr able, aber Unlucky und Effect, beide Reds, die ein fantastisches Job hier. Maintaining some space für all diese Squads, macht es einen schönen Hits. Mit der Valkyrie, das ist eine große Öffnung hier. Für Allianz muss in der Smoke helfen, die hier auch.
02:07:15 Healthy goes down at the hands of two on Alliance. Love the follow from Unlucky right there. Effect with the entry frag with the Missile Swarm helping them out. Has better jetpack handling too. Looking at that second perk here. Unlucky trying to get some press fire as Orglas and Hungry see the opportunity to single one out from Alliance. Misses out on that Kraber shot. Only two bullets left here. And Alliance get eliminated. Six squads now left here.
02:07:43 Still a great run on behalf of Alliance, Orglis, and Hungry continuing to just kind of steamroll through anybody that's in their path. Now trying to close in on the rat from Cold. I misspoke. I thought Cold had somehow died already. JMW is playing the most epic game of hide and seek.
02:08:03 Actually, how? Actually, how does he fit there? It's the bag, too, so like, you're schwifty with it. Alright. Well, Orcas and Runge would have not expected that. Can you imagine if they just randomly scanned in that direction? That'd be unlucky.
02:08:23 Oh no.
02:08:51 Ihr micro managing everything they're looking like chameleons one eye on one team the other on the other over to the left side While Orgas and Hungry try to keep two rats at bay full English as a full man squad still looking over to see how they want to approach this uphill This is why the command center error was so important to hold even if you're denying some a little bit of evil shield here But Orgas and Hungry have been fighting non-stop
02:09:14 Das war ein sehr, sehr stark win für Orglis und Hungry.
Orglis und Hungry dominieren das Feld
02:09:38
02:09:38 ROLLING THROUGH TEAMS WHETHER THEY WERE IN A CHOKE OR THEY WERE THIRD PARTYING SITUATIONS THEY LOOKED SO CLEAN AND COMPETENT AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW VIKI WHEN WE WERE ON THE OVERHEAD TYLER WENT BACK OVER TO WHERE JMW WAS RATING LOST ALL OF HIS SHIELDS FOR IT JMW PUNISHED HIM BUT THEY DID END UP FINDING HIM HIDING IN THOSE PLANTS TO TAKE OUT THE LONE RAT FROM KOLD I MEAN THAT WAS A FUN ENDING
02:10:01 Das war wirklich gut, und sogar besser für Orgis & Hungry. Hatten sie 15 Kp wieder mit dem DUB? Orgis & Hungry kamen und sie kamen. Und das ist sie, glaube ich, von Pylon. So, was ein Rotate. Von Pylon, von der SOUTH SIDE, von der SOUTH SIDE, von der SOUTH SIDE.
02:10:18 They wrapped around Cascade like we saw through Spider Cave area where they were able to play more on that lip uphill. They knew that side was already clear. So those rotates, aside from the fact that they were also cleaning up the lobby, once again proves orgous and hungry as they take another dub. That was a big game for this team. And before they won the last two games, they were sitting in 12th place overall after the first two games on World's Edge. So they have just settled pretty comfortably now probably in first.
02:10:48 They just looked like they have figured out their team flow. They were working as a unit, pushing all together when they were going to make a concerted push or backing off at the right times. They moved through the dead zones of that final ring really, really well. Found themselves some space to work with and just looked so solid. The fact that I didn't realize it was 15 kills, Vicky. The fact that they had back-to-back wins with 15 kills. I mean, that's...
02:11:16 Insane, that's a performance that will keep them at the top of this leaderboard for the rest of the day. I feel like that's crazy.
02:11:24 And what's nice to note is that in the overall standings, Orglis & Hungry was a top five team. I believe they were in fourth. So they've been ramping up. They didn't have the best last pro league day that they had played in, which is groups B and C. And now they have just been full sending. New season, new look. And Orglis & Hungry is just looking to just not be Orglis or Hungry anymore, I guess. They're hungry for kills, but they are just looking to stay on top. Yup, 15k people.
02:11:54 But that doesn't mean we can't see all the way in the bottom. Alliance with 13 KP themselves. Splitting some of that just kills here for the rest of the lobby. I mean, leave some for the rest of us here. Two rats, one controller. Finish in second with 4 KP. Full English. Playing off the side there with the Crypto. We saw finding themselves with 2 KP. But JMW did what JMW needed to do. Which was get those placement points. Sitting cold and fourth.
02:12:22 Ich meine, speziell wenn sie in die Situation waren, dass sie in die Situation waren, selbst wenn sie über die Kampf gegen 07 survived hatten, wir sehen, was dann zu 07 passiert ist, wenn alle anderen versucht, und das Spot in die Kommand-Center versucht haben. So, es gab keine Gäuerte, dass Kolde konnte, wenn sie es nicht verloren hat. Das war ein schwerer Spot. So, JMW, wie ich gesagt habe, hat ein sehr guter Job gemacht, am besten zu bekommen, auf der Squad 07 zu bekommen.
02:12:44 Wir haben einen guten K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit K.P. mit
02:13:13 Tyler up at the top with 17 followed very closely by that new addition to Alliance Vicky in Unlucky. Talk about making sure you prove why you're there.
02:13:24 Das ist wirklich verrückt. Ich meine, Tyler ist immer so ein schwerer Fragger. 17 Kills, mit Unlucky zu sein. 14, kind of. Es ist die Wahrheit, dass alle drei Mitglieder der Orgelist und Hungry in dieser Top 5 hier sind, zu wirklich highlighten die Performance, die sie für heute sind. Und wir wollen mehr sehen, mit zwei mehr Spiels leften, was könnte hier sein, für die Teams, die wirklich nicht mehr haben, zu bekommen, denn da sind einfach keine Kills für sie zu bekommen, in den Rest des Lobbys.
02:13:51 I cannot wait to see what is going to happen here right now. Like we mentioned though, Ordless and Hungry after those two performances. Untouchable at the top and almost a 50-50 split between their placement points and their kills because they've been so consistent when they've been doing well. So they're now finding themselves 69 points. Almost, no, yes, Lauren, do math the right way. More than 20 points of love passion, Vicky. This is impressive.
02:14:16 More passion has definitely been brought in from this team, too, because they've been consistently in the top five during World's Edge. But Stormpoint, we got to see this team keep performing or Alliance is going to slowly creep their way up and surpass them, tying themselves up with 44 points apiece. Two Rats from Controller, another team that has no issue fragging out themselves, but orderless and hungry. There's just such a big gap between themselves and the rest of this lobby right now.
02:14:39 Yeah, these last two matches are going to mean a lot for some of our teams. But before we get into it, it's time for another short break. And when we return, more Storm Point Action coming at you.
02:16:48 Welcome back, everyone, to the ALGS. It's been nonstop action here in EMEA. I'm Vicky Kitty. I'm Joey with Dina once again. Hope you enjoyed your little break, maybe five-minute nap or something, but...
02:16:57 Yeah, I mean, I wasn't gonna miss them taking out the back-to-back there, Vicky. It's, uh, oof, really.
02:17:25 Coming home strong here for Orglis and Hungry. And, you know, we were sort of talking at the start of the day about how Alliance have sort of adjusted to the new team changes that they've made. But obviously losing one of the biggest frags in the entire league doesn't seem to matter to Metafe right now. He's still making it work. The calls that he's making are still the right ones. And they put themselves...
02:17:53 On top of the lobby by more than 20 points. Probably wrapped up a first place here. That's incredible for Auglas in Hungary. They're almost certainly on path to make it to land.
02:18:06 Yeah, if you guys are hungry, just like Orglis is right now, if you think that the Apex action ends today, well, guys, you couldn't be more wrong because we have the EMEA and NA Challengers Circuit Finals tomorrow starting at 7 p.m. CEST, kicking off with our very own Dia and Graceful for EMEA, and then NA at 6 p.m. Pacific Time with Tom and TMT Church. So definitely make sure you check it out at twitch.tv slash versus underscore GG.
02:18:35 Und natürlich ein großes Dank für die Freunde von VersusGG für das Spiel auf. Es ist ein guter Zeit, so eine Nonstop Apex-Aktion für euch zu sehen, wenn die K.L.G.S. nicht genug. Na, man. Gravesville ist, wie die nicest. Actually, ich sage das, er ist mit Dea. Dea ist die nicest. Gravesville ist vielleicht der 2nd nicest. Aber das ist einfach so, dass es die most Delightful cast ist.
02:18:59 Yeah, whenever I think about Graceful, all I can think about Genome is our time in the green room back at Champs, where he was just pelting Devs with all the questions of the world. It was great. You had to be there. It was quite an experience. Graceful being able to take us to the challenger circuit is going to be an amazingly enjoyable experience. And speaking of Graceful...
02:19:18 They were able to just get fourth, by the way, in that last game that we saw JMW ratting it up on Bangalore, hiding in between a flower, if that's what you want to call it, over by Storm Point. But it's about those placement points that come in clutch. Yes, they didn't get the KP, but every point counts here for teams that are running out of time and putting themselves on the board for the overall leaderboard in the region.
02:19:38 Yeah, because Cole was 17th coming into today, I believe, which, you know, obviously doesn't give them a lot of leeway to try and make sure they're still involved in that regional final. And, you know, I call it a golden ticket, right? As long as you can make it into that regional final, you've always got a chance to take out the match point victory and therefore catapult yourself into LAN, even if you're too far behind, you know, lagging behind the discussion to maybe make it in through the top eight slots.
02:20:08 Yeah, it's a lot here for some of these teams. Even a good day like looking at Orgles in Hungary could help you stay safe in the top seven so that way you don't feel threatened to being regulated or having to play through the pro league qualifiers out here and just basically wish or hope that you could finally make your way through. But taking a look at the map schedule right now and the teams that we're about to see going on to Storm Point once again. Match number five is coming up shortly. Two more games to go, Genome. Two more games.
02:20:38 für diese Bottom-End-Teams, um die KP und die Punkte zu finden, um sich in der Safe Spot zu finden. Ich glaube, die andere Sache, die wir hier noch haben, Vicky, ist, dass sie sich auf die Möglichkeit haben, eine Bonus-Pointe zu haben. Ja! Und sie haben das erst in die Serie gemacht, also. So jetzt haben sie noch zwei Maps, um eine weitere Win-Win zu holen, um eine Bonus-Point.
02:21:04 Das ist so ein guter Punkt. Ja, besonders in diesen beiden Spielern. Ich meine, wenn sie immer spielen wie sie haben, sie haben absoluten versucht, etwas hier zu finden, das macht diese Team mehr Cohesive und Konsistenz. Die meisten Konsistenz haben wir das Team gesehen, aber sie haben immer auf der Top-End hier in dieser Region gehabt, immer zu finden die KP die sie brauchen. Aber die Back-to-Back-Wins hier mit der KP, die sie mit haben, haben sie einfach gekündigt.
02:21:28 Ja, das ist interessant auch, weil sie nicht unbedingt immer performen, um, aber wenn es um die EMEA-Region geht, es fühlt sich Matafe und, äh, welcher Merry-Band-Of-Many-Es-Leading-At-That-Partikular-Time-At-That-Partikular-Split-Always-Sein-To-End-Up-Sommer-Towards-The-Top. Ja, wir sehen uns die Lobby und die Legend-Select hier, auch. Nice zu sehen, dass Mandy ist, äh, still zu der Pathfinder.
02:21:57 Ja, aber nicht nur das, ich glaube, wir sahen...
02:22:24 Matafé und Crew pick up the Lifeline, Vicky. Oh, okay. Ja, da es ist. Alright, Orgelus and Hungry bringing out the Lifeline, Bloodhound and Bangalore. Sticking to where they've been landing here, too, but they, you already know, with the momentum that they've built up from the missiles in the last two games, they're absolutely feeling themselves. I have no doubt of that whatsoever. That's, yeah, that's a fun one, and I mean,
02:22:52 Oh, gosh. I think it's past Round 3, if you're spawning that Care Package. It's a 100% chance to get a Care Package weapon, right? If it's in Round 1 or 2, but honestly, it's hard to get Purple Shield, get that Level 3 upgrade, and also have your Ultimate up by that point. So I think most of the time you will see them drop down the Care Package. It will already be at the point where you are guaranteed one of those weapons.
02:23:22 You know, what's also pretty nice to note is that with Orgless of Hungry landing in Pylon, there's that Ultimate Accelerate Tower that's also right there. So they just get a free Lifeline Care Package off the rip while being able to get everyone's ult online in the middle. Yeah, that's something they can take advantage of right there from their POI.
02:23:39 Ja, es ist nicht etwas, was du denken über eine große Menge an, aber wenn du, wenn du, wenn du auf die Pylon bist, dann ja, warum nicht? In den letzten Jahren könnte man Auto-upgradieren, aber natürlich nicht das gleiche hier. Oh, ist das ein Goldmastiff? Das ist gut. Let's go. Let's go. Stay healthy. Oh, und wir sind all den Weg zu der Nordseite, aber stattdessen uns zu der Westen, wir sind etwas weiter zu der East.
02:24:06 Wir sehen uns auch ein Lightning Rods auf der Highgrounds auf dem Platz zu der Command Center. Und FullEnglisch wird die Evo Harvester auswählen. Aber das ist ein bisschen interessant zu sehen. Wir sehen uns an den Southeasternen Gruppen, an Aureus und Hungry, die durch die Jurassic Park gehen. Oder wenn sie sich in mehr Fortschritten in diesen Fortschritten haben, zu E6, die nicht wirklich auswählen sind, wie sie vorher haben.
02:24:31 No, not at all so far. It's been Struggle Street for them. That's for certain. Pest Control here. They are currently behind Passion. I don't know if they're actually looking to try and take a fight here. Maybe catch one of them off guard. They probably just want to grab that Evo Harvester up ahead and get themselves to that blue armor and at least get some kind of perk online.
02:25:03 Portrait of Sil, zu play at that disadvantage. Hier Triton in Distance, zooming around, 07. Actually trying to see if they can take this fight to pest control, would be crazy just trying to call out the duo that's there, if they can clean up any extra points. But it's also the Evil Harvester that's also in Cascade, if they can take advantage of it. And you're gonna be seeing while we make...
02:25:25 Our plays in Stormpoint, much more of these teams take advantage of the wildlife, right? The Prowlers, the Spiders. This is how you're going to get extra points aside from scanning the Survey Beacon and the Control Beacons too. Yeah, the pro players have actually had to learn quite a lot. And I think in the last couple of weeks since those changes, Vicky...
02:25:45 Um, as mine take this gravity cannon, they scan. There's no one in front of them. They may not realize they've just gravity cannoned over to stay healthy. Um, so they might have to actually watch their facts, but okay, look, we can get into the, uh, the technical discussions later, because pest control are taking on 07 in the middle here, but of course this is duo, so that's a pretty quick cleanup.
02:26:05 So yeah, they were chasing after them for quite some time too. Right behind Cascade Falls. They got information on the ring. They got the evil harvester and they also got KP while they're at it. So 07 feasting a bit here at the very beginning of this fifth game. 40% worse. Need to show up here. Sat in one hand and with a nice little headshot. Gets the 126 and the crack. He is zooming around being the soul pathfinder in this lobby with that grapple. But getting to the exoclan that have the hype around here.
02:26:32 I'm also just noting those Legend picks up the top there, Vicky. Now, you know, I was saying we'd seen up to 85% Bangalore. Actually, honestly, like, it was closer to 100% in some of the situations if you take out the single or duo teams we had. But over here on...
02:26:49 Storm Point, we've seen it tick up from 50% on World's Edge to 80% pick rate now on the Bangalore here for EMEA. So obviously that one definitely is a little map dependent.
02:27:03 Und was interessant ist, dass du mit Storm Point hast, dass du viel mehr Open Space hast, wenn du zu crossen. Und wenn du Tagsie mit einem Kossack hast, hast du eine große Hurtbox. Du bist viel einfacher, als 40% Wurste noch einen Schatz zu bekommen. Sie werden von den Trident getötet, aber es geht um den Trident für jetzt. Aber es geht um die Rotation, während 40% Wurste also macht ihr Rotate über die Choke in front of sie, um zu Spider Cave.
02:27:28 There's like four or five teams in Tridents right now just zooming around the south side of the map actually. Bit of a racetrack out there.
02:27:37 Oh, das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger. Das war ein Fatpinger.
02:28:02 While Exo also trying to get away here from 40% worse. I'm surprised they actually turned around to still find 40% worse when they were trying to move right back towards the circle.
02:28:13 Getting sieged inside Bamboo there. Take some shots in the car. They'll get out and try and reset here. But you can see just using those smokes to try and find cover. They're going to have to pop the medkits before too long. But 40% worse are going to stay in the zone here to try and kill them. But they grabbed the gravity cannon out. One down.
02:28:40 So Alliance is gonna be sitting pretty.
02:29:06 Especially with a Beacon right next to them, the Survey Beacon specifically, to let them know where everyone may be rotating if they haven't hit it already. In case they did hit it early, they could just get those early Evil Shield points. E6 also trying to call out...
02:29:18 Ja, ich denke, die Top-Portion von Command-Center, wo du nach den anderen Spiders bist, ist ein wichtiger Punkt zu halten. E6, der Maladie weitergeht.
02:29:44 They got Rannadon, they were creeping up on them. They were creep walking on the high ground and found a knock in the process. Evening out the odds as a 2v2, E6 just tucks their tail and keep on running behind them. But if they run towards Stormcatcher, you have to imagine other teams that play on the edge are there and it's Orglis and Hungry. What better timing for them to make their way?
02:30:08 After taking the high ground here and e6 having to figure out where they want to rotate to if they want to take this low to high ground hilltop I Mean they've been making some pretty good decisions the last couple of games Vicky as we said on the hunt for a bonus point
02:30:27 But with all these other teams around them, you've got LVH over here. They're in striking distance of Red Dragon. And you can see they've taken the first casualty in the fight as well.
02:30:40 Wir haben das Knochen hier. Der Dragon jetzt versucht zu re-stabilisieren. Sie haben die Vorteile, dass sie das Knochen haben. Sie wollen sich in eine bessere Position auf der High-Ground, ohne sich zu beurteilen, von einem 3rd-Partner zu kommen. Aber so far, wir haben die Zeit, die Zeit von der Circle-Chaos aus dem wir gesehen haben. So Cascade Falls ist in der Clear für die nächsten Minute oder so.
02:31:03 They also see the Evil Harvester to their left. They could also try to prevent other teams from trying to take this Evil Harvester if they just want to camp it out. There's potentially some teams that could go past there, 40% worse being one of them. Ah, it's a little further to the east. Ah, the Kraber's come through for 2R1C.
02:31:31 Wir haben drei in der Lobby gesehen, aber wir sehen uns in die Care Package-Weaponsen. Wir nehmen die Kravur, wenn es die Care Package-Weaponsen gibt. Und mit den Kravur in den Handen der Hierarchie, sie bekommen das Kravur und die Dirty, während Exo jetzt haben wir als ein Duell. So viele Duells haben wir so far in das Game 5. 07.
02:31:56 Actually trying to engage themselves, gets the scan, sees a duo right in front of them, sends out the nade here. You can't see anything if you don't have the Digi, so luckily for them, they got the PK with the Digi attached and ready to go. But Natsuki gets blasted, nags with the car, can't put a Digi on that anymore, and is cold. Quickly gets scanned, they quickly get eliminated as 07 clear them out.
02:32:18 Und das ist ein fantastisches Spot für 07 zu behalten, als auch. Sie werden sie durch die Ring ein wenigstens, aber wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie, wenn sie,
02:32:47 40% Wurs finally made their way outside the ring here. Red Dragon still in the ring over to their left side. But look how many teams are by the edge of this next circle. 07 actually are landing on top of them. And they're going to pay for it. Natsuki gets taken down. But it was because of some circle damage. There's a team right outside these doors. Sends out the creeping barrage in the process. But it's a team that is bunkered down. It looks like closer to the high ground here. While 07 just trying to reset.
02:33:13 Yeah, that's infinite up there. Look, they've been there pretty much the whole game, and the circle continues to pull towards them, so they will be able to play from that power spot for a little while longer. They don't give it up. They don't want to give it up. They shouldn't give it up, even though they did get the knock against Nasky. So I like this decision, but of course that works out quite well for 07. Good spot for them here.
02:33:43 Looking on the other side, Infinite still are gonna hold on to this side, but while they are here, they still have blue evil shields, denying themselves opportunities from trying to get those evil harvesters while playing for that end circle, of course. 40% worse though, getting gatekept to themselves. Two rats, one controller meeting them on the other side.
02:34:02 40% worse. Always seem to have their back to the zone. They're such late rotators. It's like, you know, really redlining it. 7 seconds now, you can see they're in between the zone and a Kraber. That is a rock and a hard place if I've ever seen it.
02:34:20 Es ist schwer mit dem Rotate. Und mit dem Kraber in die Hand. Wie wir vorhin haben, dass das Kraber so wichtig ist, wenn man einen Platz hat, wenn man einen Platz hat. Die Effek Tower hat sich geholfen.
02:34:35 The fight inside of this cave here has also ensued right outside of where you would be rotating from the wall. It's outplayed. Aftermath, Red Dragon mined four teams in this area alone, and Aftermath have now lost to Ambavis. Yeah, it's always hard to tell on the map, though, whether they're actually in the cave or, you know, running around on top as well. I guess we'll see, but it's certainly about to kick off underneath here.
02:35:03 Aftermath, they can see they've left their Caustic Player for dead, probably not going to be able to get him back up as Red Dragon raced the zone. This circle just makes your eyes water, they trank here, Fitsu has to watch out, looks at his help, but he gets taken out, Red Dragon.
02:35:20 Okay, so there you go, all of them underneath, and all of them go down, except for mines, uh, the team that will take it out. Alliance there, you can see they've moved up into second.
02:35:48 This is the kind of result they want if they need to be in that top 8 to make it to land, Vicky. See if we can hold onto it here. Orglis in Hungary. Can they go for the three times?
02:36:05 I mean, that wasn't...
02:36:30 Just thinking about this now, that was an absolute killer rotate by 07 earlier. I've seen a similar zone. We had it earlier in the split in Apex South. And I've got to say, the teams who are where 07 and Infinite are, like on the top of Lightning Rod, it's like a castle. It's a fortress. And everyone else, when it comes to zone 5 or 6 and they have to push across that, it's like...
02:36:55 ...trying to get into a castle over a moat. They pull up the drawpage, and you've got nowhere to go. And it's having that height, too. Always that height advantage that you just beam... ...while they just try to poke their heads out while crawling from the low ground. That's gonna be crucial to see in the endgame, while Team Portugal lose out on their Valk. They're getting peeking over to the right side here, as more teams just try to make their way. It's probably mine that finally made their way out of the cave. And with this circle closing in behind them, they have to get going soon.
02:37:26 Okay, Alliance. I think what we saw earlier on, it was only a duo, so it seems like they've managed to get back to full strength. Can they follow in Naxx's footsteps? Why don't we jump into a listen-in with them and find out?
02:37:51 Ja, ich bin in zwei.
02:38:16 Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm.
Alliance's Herausforderungen und 07's Dominanz
02:38:47
02:38:47 Okay, so Alliance, they're doing pretty well taking control of this building, but as I said before, Vicky, I don't know how much that is worth getting across the next part into the top of Lightning Rod. I genuinely think is almost impossible. Element 6, 07, and Infinite will all be gunning you down as you come across. We've got about five teams on the other side of this. Will any of them make it across? I predict at the very most one.
02:39:15 Tyler looking at this movement right before his eyes, but how do you cross this right now? Trying to see if he can find your way around this building where FullEnglish has held it down. Alliance on the other side. Oh, Lucky's won. Haki says, well, I don't know where they were trying to zoom their way through. Maybe take advantage of the Trident breaking off the map and then they just fly up from ahead.
02:39:34 Aber Effekt ist der letzte Mal live. Das Plan war nicht für sie. Team Portugal getötet in den Feed. So es gibt 7 Quads leften. Und es ist wie du schon erwähnt, Gnome 07 sind. Sie spielen King of the Hill jetzt. Es gibt noch einen Korner, aber es sieht aus wie er nicht getötet. Effekt getötet, nach der Fallen auf dem Map. Aber egal, du hast jetzt nicht woher zu gehen. Ich weiß nicht, aber es sieht aus wie ich war. Es sieht aus wie jeder Team auf der Seite.
02:40:03 Except for 2R1C, because a tiny amount of the Farsight actually remains in the circle. So, two rats, one controller. Well, they're down to one rat.
02:40:17 Ich bin der Exterminator. Mit 07's Gameplan zu haben, Natsky-Biang zu haben. Es wäre ein Schade, wenn es ein Krypto gibt, in diesem Lobby ist es. Aber für sie ist es nicht mehr Krypto. Es ist nur Uchak, der das letzte Rett-Hierker hat. So sie können hier einfach sitzen. E6 ist auch auf der anderen Seite. Schlabbein kann das Shield-Bat jetzt.
02:40:52 Was ist der nächste Weg, Uchako? Es ist wahrscheinlich nicht zu kommen, wirklich. Ich meine, Auglust und Hungry, wir wissen, er ist da. Sie haben den Scan. Ich glaube, das ist in der Evac vielleicht, oder? Ja, da wir gehen. Wow, er hat es geschnitten aus dem Sky. Without a second thought, Auglust und Hungry, sie haben control über das ZIP-Line hier.
02:41:15 So they've got four squads left. We've got a duo of Element 6 and then 07 Infinite and Orglis all with the full three members up and running. It's crazy to see how frag heavy Orglis and Hungry still are moving on. Trying to break records out here. They have 11kp in between the whole team right now. Calling in the Creeping Barrage. How's 07 gonna try to approach Orglis and Hungry as they try to actually try to fight for the high ground here?
02:41:43 Circle closing in, now the calm before the storm and the knock screening is ready from Nasky. This shot's great because it shows us how the height is playing out between these teams because that will be one of the crucial factors. Who gets forced out first? Will you be forced off height or will 07 be forced out of that building? Nice thermite! Wow. All was huge right there.
02:42:08 Does it matter if the Watch and Gen eats that up? E6 get eliminated. Our final three squads left right now in the lobby. Infinite 07, Orglis and Hungry. And Orglis and Hungry are looking to take three back-to-back wins. Playing off the low ground here.
02:42:25 Oh my god, Bonus Point, actually within reach now for Auglas and Hungry. Bang, ult comes down, Evac Tower even. I think that one's from 07 trying to give themselves some options. As they have to finally leave their cover. Auglas and Hungry looking down upon them. Infinite might be able to play the hype from Longa. How it's going to shake out, Vicky.
02:42:53 Oh, he looks like he's trying to toss him up onto the high ground. Not to sure if we cut the dead. Eating that takes the evac tower. Taking the circle damage. Infinite drop down. This is all infinite. They have it in the game. But can they clutch? I don't think you can. Oh, seven. Stay alive in the final circle. Even playing off the low ground. Taking care of Orglyss and Hungry. Stopping their reign. And taking game number five.
02:43:17 07 come out on top there. Epic clutch. I mean, I would have loved to see Naska's reaction from that. You know, definitely one of the more animated players in our league. And yeah, look, it looks like Orglis and Hungry, they got shoved off first. Very hard for them to take that one out. You know, Infinite, who were up the top, I thought they probably, you know, had the best spot there. But no, the clutch factor lies with 07.
02:43:46 They got deleted the moment that they dropped down from that high ground. Like you blinked and two of the players were already knocked. Only leaving the Bangalore. And throughout the chaos of the smoke nades, you already saw the Nox gas. You saw the barrel set up.
02:44:01 Where do you look while you're getting not only damage from the ring, but also the tick damage from the Noxnade? So that was a lot to deal with. In 07, the patience wears off. We saw them clean up a duo right before they had made that rotate with the evac, and they found themselves in the best spot that you had mentioned, Genome, was for them to hold.
02:44:20 Yeah, good point about the Caustic as well there though, Vicky, because in those final circles, they are the one you're kind of relying on, right? Everyone else probably going to be eating that gas damage. They're going to be stunned, not necessarily have good vision through the Nox gas, but your Caustic is fully free and ready to, you know, do damage and deal with the other Caustics. So really, if you can keep that player up and alive longer, there's probably a much better chance that you're going to take out the win
02:44:50 Kloster in Circles.
02:45:17 Ja, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist
Ergebnisse und Strategien der Teams
02:45:44
02:45:44 Infinite kommen in mit 6 Kp, waiting in 2nd place. They were holding on to the high ground for quite some time, denying themselves some Evil Shield charge, but it still worked out for them in the end, getting 2nd place. With Orgus and Hungry getting focus fired by both 07 and Infinite, they still finished their run off with 12 Kp. Still a game to go for both of these teams here, though, as you take a look all the way at the very bottom. Alliance getting 4 Kp, but let's be honest, there was absolute chaos at the very end for that final circle pool. There was a lot of teams that had nowhere.
02:46:13 to go when it came to crossing through that bridge. Yeah, priority for that zone is just so important, right? Infinite, they land at Stormcatcher, so I think it makes sense that, you know, they got that read and went up there. I wonder if Alliance maybe didn't get a ring console, because obviously if they had of and had of called that zone correctly, it should have been them, really, in that spot rather than Infinite.
02:46:37 Und vielleicht geht es um einen Evo Harvester. Und das zeigt, wenn man das Rotate macht, ohne die Information zu haben, wie crucial es kann für Circles wie dieses Spiel sein kann. Wir sehen uns auf die Kill-Leader-Board. Orgas and Hungry stehen auf dem Top 5. Und Tyler hat sich selbst 20 total Kills für den Tag nach den letzten 5-Games gewonnen. Und Kind of kommt in 2nd place mit 18. Ich weiß, dass Kind of leidt mit der Dammage gemacht wird. So Orgas and Hungry stehen sehr gut mit einem anderen.
02:47:06 Sitten in 3rd and 4th between Effect and Unlucky, who's been just a phenomenal addition out here for the rest of his team. He has, and he's taken a lot of the pressure off Effect as well. You know, the Wunderkins who had some of the most incredible LAN performances we've seen on the hardest stages, you know, maybe until they get to the finals. But here he is, Unlucky, able to just, you know...
02:47:30 Make it so that we're not just relying on the one fragger for that team. Of course, you know, Huckus always pitching in there as well. I know we saw some of those, uh, the history of ALGS-like kill leaderboards overall released by Chrono recently, and Huckus is definitely up the top of that.
02:47:51 Amazing IG out here while we take a look at the overall standings after the last five games. Orglis and Hungry staying on top with 88 total points. What a window between themselves and a line sitting in second with 51. Looking all the way down though, you can see that gap start being built up. Even between Passion looking all the way down, because Passion being one of those placement teams that we've been seeing thus far. Trying to clean up some crumbs that were left behind by Orglis. All the way down to even Full English who are trying to play for positioning. Team Portugal that try to predict.
02:48:20 Okay, so August and Hungry are 37 points ahead of Alliance right now. So again, bonus points on the table here. They got close to getting one. There's two different ways you can do it, right? 50 points ahead of second place. The other one is winning three maps.
02:48:46 They're actually both within reach now from Orglas in the Hungry. What an absolute powerhouse performance from these guys. It's crazy, but can they do it? They have one more game left. If they can clutch it out, additional points, they'll be feasting. We're going to have to see on the other side of this break. Don't go anywhere. We've got our final game, game number six on Stormpoint.
Finales Spiel und Strategieanpassungen
02:51:03
02:51:03 Welcome back, everyone. We have one final game left in the books here on Stroll Point for Roots A and B. It's been a fantastic time so far. With the chaos that just went down in that last game, Genome, I'm excited to see some more play it out for this final game.
02:51:19 Indeed. You can see a nice spread of wins here. But Orglesson hungry with the two wins. Definitely head and shoulders above the rest of our lobby here as A and B duke it out. Stormpoint, as you said, one map left to go. And look, I think they've definitely stitched up first place, Vicky. But a lot of other teams still fighting for relevance here in Split 1.
02:51:48 Yeah, I'm thinking about E6 themselves, actually, who usually find success in this lobby, just lingering behind. Alliance, who still find themselves consistently in the top three, top four conversation in these lobbies. Even bring Unlucky into this roster has just proved success for this team. I can't wait to see more of it. To Retro and Controller, a team that has no issue taking these fights as well. Going into this final game, though, if Orgas and Hunger can secure themselves...
02:52:16 That one extra point, that would be big here. But they would have to win a game or they have to have 50 more points over the second place squad right behind them. I mean, the interesting thing is Aurora have been so dominant and E6 as well, I suppose, that not many teams have actually been able to take out a series win here.
02:52:39 in EMEA, right? I mean, Aurora have taken three of them. E6 have taken two of them. We've had Passion actually also pick up one so far. And that's it, right? So only three different teams.
02:52:58 All different all the way around. Orgelus, they have other plans here. Let's get set up for our final game in EMEA. It's been a great time to see how Season 20 has played out for a lot of these teams, but it also means a lot of things have shifted in the overall leaderboards and standings for the teams that have been trying to test things to work into their best ability, whether they want to play on the edge of the circle for that final circle positioning. See full English already?
02:53:23 Sie sehen, dass die Evil Shield Harvesters in die Wall sind. Sie versuchen sie zu schießen, oder sie versuchen sie zu fliegen.
02:53:33 Yeah, unfortunately gonna take the Gravity Cannon to get up to Zeus Station. It's one of the big drawbacks honestly of this POI is that a lot of ships don't get you straight there. You cannot drop into your POI. You can't even like, you know, you know, all three members will drop at different places to try and make sure, you know, your loot party is quickly. Nope. You just got to all drop on the Gravity Cannon and run your way up there.
02:54:02 Waste a little bit of time, but at least they got that ultra mega jump tower if they need it for whatever reason. Crossing some distance. Especially looking at where this circle is going to be pulling to. Once you take a look at 07, who's hanging out in Seattle Station. But I know they're going to be feasting. They also are split up just temporarily right now because one of the members of 07 wants to get that Survey Beacon. And if you already got ahead of it, there's actually a player from LVH that tried to do something similar. Now I get to see Alliance as well, who are now...
02:54:32 Ja, es ist ein Massive Gap, ist es? Ein paar Teams nippen auf der Heels, aber sie sind nicht höher als 2nd hier, jetzt sind wir auf die 6e. Passion, also, als Sie sehen, war 4 points behind Alliance.
02:54:59 Not too bad. As I mentioned, one of the only teams who managed to take out a win, so they've certainly been showing glimpses of that form today, as we've mentioned how regularly they've been finding themselves in the final circles.
02:55:15 Ja?
02:55:44 That's a good point. We're losing wildlife here over on Stormpoint. Ridiculous. Even for these Evo Shields charges. But any Crumb counts here. As you can see why. Still easy. And the rest of Aftermath having these blue Evos. They couldn't get an armor check real quick on the other side. He got hit. What looked like a massive. He's got Beast of the Hunt ready here though. And while they do find this fight over by Mill. Can only expect a third party exiting out of checkpoint. May present themselves shortly.
02:56:18 Ich meine, Milt ist eine der möglichen Finisern hier. Sie können auch nach Bein gehen. Sie können Sido Station sein. Was ist, ich denke, dass es sich hier noch ein paar Chaotik-Circles ist, wenn es auf der Öffentlichkeit geht, nach der Öffentlichkeit von Sido.
02:56:39 There's basically nowhere to rotate to if you are one of the teams that probably will share that space in Cito, especially considering that there's a replicator there, a ring console. You can see the teams that also may want to get the survey beacon to the south that we saw one of the members of 07 split up for. But over to the south side, I see Exo trying to take this fight to passion.
02:57:00 Oof. Slacktape.
02:57:26 Trying to get on top of them here. Nemesis Burstfire from close range, not the most reliable. Just enough to ramp up if you're at 100 for now. Gets a little wall hop here. He's trying to schmoop and he doesn't even need it. Mine get eliminated. First squad to go out in this final game. As Noises is trying to loot up whatever he can from down below. Handy little win there.
02:57:55 from the full english it's also good because they've got the ring console and survey beacon inside checkpoint that means uh a win means you know they can just secure that and then pop off get the uh you know the zone 3 zone 4 information depending on how long they want to stick around and checkpoint
02:58:17 Das ist auch ein extra 200 Euro per Konsole. Das kann man sich da beobacht werden. Finite ist noch auf dem High Ground hier. Das ist der Open Spot. Wenn die Circle hier ist, und du hier frühstest, kann man hier aussehen. Sie können sich auf beiden Angeln sehen. Das ist die High Ground Rock. Das war das Team vor dem Team vorhin, wenn sie in die Evac Tower called. Ich glaube, Passion ist hier noch.
02:58:42 Not a bad spot to have Watson in, though. You'd rather have Watson than Caustic up here, just the reason being in open spaces. It's a lot easier to carve out a situation for yourself with those perimeter defenses than it is necessarily with the Caustic barrels.
02:59:13 Trying to bust down that door. Silesia has just not let it go. It's a Cossack v. Cossack on each side here too. They secure the opposite ends of this one specific building of Mill. Alcido Station is also starting to get hot. It's Pest Control, the duo now versus Cold. As a three-man, they get the scan. They see it's just the duo. Gets the Kraken immediately afterwards. And a nice follow-up from Urban to get the knock onto Plexus. Unfortunate here for...
02:59:39 As you say, pretty regulation for them. Can you get the scan? Think about following this up. CyberCat's in the vicinity as well.
02:59:59 So you can see there, just prowling around the zone shift over west. So it could be a mill finish. Wow, still a little bit of checkpoint in there. I'd say unlikely to shift back over there, but it does favor those teams now coming in from the north, like Alliance in full English. Yeah, that would definitely help them out with their rotation too, if they want to play off that south building. Cold is able to get the res on as well.
03:00:26 Und es ist jetzt der letzte Klingel. Er hat sich nur einen Klingel gefunden, bevor er sich in die Lobby gefunden hat. Es ist eine schwierige Situation hier, aber Kolder wird sich in die Kapitalizei sein. Wir sehen uns auf Outplayed. Wir sind auf der Opposite End von Mill. Das ist das Rotation Point, wenn der Alliance decide zu rotatieren, nach Outplayed, weil sie noch über die Downbeast sind. Oder wenn sie durch die Choke, die Leads in die Checkpoint nach nach nach Spider Cave gehen.
03:00:54 And see, one of those teams we talked about coming in from the north here. Back in the middle of the map, actually. You've got Orglis and Hungry sitting over there. But this is full English. We've found Alliance over at Checkpoint. Of course, there's a couple of buildings.
03:01:16 I mean, if they want to, they can happily coexist, but the full English may not necessarily be that calm in this situation. These are the purple Evos. I mean, 3v3 on both sides of purple Evos, but...
03:01:34 See the shots of the 30-30 ringing towards Brynn? Just backing away. They're giving up that space. The Lion's playing a much more aggressive comp here compared to what we'd see from Full English. Makes sense for them to just get right back into the building. But they're gonna be able to consistently put in some extra pressure if they try to approach this. And he's got the Havoc with the Bold Mag and Turbo.
03:01:54 Actually, it manages to slide down the hill instead. They don't want to try to take this fight here uphill while the circles still may pull towards that choke point by the spiders. Oh man, that's Valkyrie definitely coming in handy there. Being able to just get straight onto the high ground and immediately put pressure on, even breaking the door. EMPs goes out. That's only going to hit effects though.
03:02:21 Mit dem EMP nur noch einen Hittig-Effect hat, hat sich die Vorteile, wenn man die Aggressiv-Positionen hat. Mit Beasts of the Hunt und der Watton in der Bühne ist, das ist viel mehr Zeit, als Allianz möchte. So nach dem, dass keine 3rd-Party-Opportunität kommt. Guess who ist aus und über? Es Orglas und Hungry, mit dem Rotate von Cascade.
03:02:45 Through the bunker and right towards Full English. So that was a good call on Alliance just to back away and get some more information if they can scan that Survey Beacon. I mean, this is what I talked about. There's multiple buildings here, right? You can coexist if you wish to. I've spotted out Full English down the bottom already. But yeah, as you say, Alliance potentially looking for some of that information further into the ring.
03:03:14 Checkpoint with all the beacons you could possibly want as the zone shifts Downward! Take some shots, activates Beast of the Heights. That's what they're talking about. And they're separated because they see the scan up above them. The smoke comes in, so is the creeping barrage.
03:03:36 Tyler tries to get into position with the Mozambique. You'd think it's April Fools from two years ago. Nope, it's just the Mozambique ringing through. And they find effect first. They're running into this next circle to see if they can try to rotate around. But this was just unlucky timing from Alliance. They pulled away in Orgles in Hungary. Rotated around Full English, which actually may allow Full English to go in for a third party or Gatekeep Orgles if they can. Or they just may settle down in those buildings and not even partake in the fight.
03:04:02 Okay, so as you can see, the zone has shifted south here. I think that was a fantastic point, Vicky, about the survey beacon. That was, you know, it's hard to get...
03:04:12 ...certainty about where the team members are from an enemy team, but they knew that they were split because of that. Teams who are sitting within Mill are obviously going to be pretty good. We're going to get a bit of a crush here from the south side. There's quite a few teams down there who are playing Bean and kind of hoping that that was going to be where we ended up. So Exoclan, Passion, LVH, and 40% worse are all going to have to run uphill. And honestly, it will be an uphill battle for them to make it into this next zone.
03:04:40 So hard on that south side, too. We're talking about running uphill on the other side of Isedo, but even closer to that armory, too. Take a look at Graceville popping off with the bow check in the feed. Gets the dirty, too, onto Alonzi. Orglis and Hungry now creep their way. It's Red Dragon meeting them on the other side by this building. Not full English that are holding that more low ground building closer to Spider Caves.
03:05:08 E6 are waiting on the outskirts of that fight too. So four squads just in that northern circle once this next circle closes in as it is right now. And where that next circle is going to be revealed for the squads that do not have that circle beacon. 40% worse. Can't make it out of the bean armory. LVH, pop the evac tower. Or maybe that was a Valve Cult. Nice and early. Nope, definitely an evac tower.
03:05:33 And as they make their way into Mill, they're going to be met by three or four other teams who are still in here. Oh no. And this is such a bad spot to hold too. And unless you put the Caustic Barrels on each end of the door, prevent yourselves from getting cut. Anzo says, I do not want any business here. Has to run away after popping the Beast of the Hunt, leaving his teammate behind.
03:05:56 Und das ist das, warum es so early zu millen ist. Du hast so viel Platz zu share mit verschiedenen Teams, besonders in einer Kossack Meta, die wir so far sehen haben. E6 sind jetzt bei der Ebene, um zu der Armour zu kommen. FullEnglisch hat sich aus dem Gebäude aus dem Gebäude zu sehen, ob sie sich mit den Orglitz und Hungry kämpfen, weil Reddrag und E6 sind in 3rd-party. Sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, sie verlieren, aber sie verlieren. Orglitz und Hungry, sie verlieren.
03:06:25 Und das war all dank der FullEnglisch, die die Möglichkeit haben, und sie durften das Spiel zu nehmen. Oh, man. Ich meine, Bonus Point Enthusiast sind alle anderen. Sie werden definitiv gewinnen in der Lobby, aber ja, wir haben nicht die drei Wins geschafft.
03:06:45 Das Chaos ist auf der High-Ground. E6. KSweenie verliert auf das Shield. So does CJ hier. Solipha Slab ist eher healthy. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen. Er hat den Knochen.
03:07:13 Yeah, incredible timing from the Full English. They're going in with the EMP just to finish off any remaining shields. Not that the teams really had any by the time that the Full English got there. I mean, they could have stayed down the bottom, right, Vicky? They could have played that bottom house and just waited for other teams to rate it past them. Instead, they take the initiative. They go up and they grab a whole bunch of kills for their troubles.
03:07:40 Really shows you how patience paid off for them too, whether they wanted to stay in that building or capitalize on the team that could have third-party them later if that squad had finished fighting above them. Good rotates and timing for full English while they make the pain over by the building to their right. Oh, and squad is taking off right before their eyes on the Valkyrie Skyward dive. Nois just looking to see who's around the area, especially with that Crypto drone.
03:08:05 Und look at the teams that have to rotate from the Armory side. 07 is in trouble. Henchman has taken control over the Rock ahead. Aftermath, get eliminated in your feeds. Eight squads remaining in this feed. Passion have not left from this high ground Rock, though. They went from one Rock to another. Outplayed, get eliminated in the scans coming in clutch for Henchman.
03:08:28 Ich meine, ich weiß nicht, dass ich das Wort verwendet, Vicky, aber wenn du zwischen einem Rock und einem Hard Place bist, Passion haben, dass das Rock ist. Und sie werden einfach nur, wie, bashert sich alle anderen in, in, in. So, ja, look, noch sechs Squads, um, um, ein paar Teams, 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
03:08:54 in this final zone here. So I think we're actually going to see a lot of teams go down pretty early. Team Portugal being the first one. In the next 35 seconds, everyone has to go into that next circle here. Let's jump into Elisabeth with two rats, one controller, while we see the wingman shots popping off in the feed.
03:09:13 Er ist nicht sicher, wir werden es später werden. Wir werden es jetzt. Okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay. Ich kann es nicht. Ich werde Bangle-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left-Left
03:09:43 Ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr, ich kann ihn nicht mehr!
Passion's Triumph und Meta-Analyse
03:10:06
03:10:06 The Passion, while they try to swing on the squad right to their left, they lose out on two. Hierarcha has forced to slide down the hill, take some cover by the rocks. Unfortunately, met their demise with the team looking at him square in the face across the field from those buildings. But look at the team on the high ground. Passion have not given up the space. They have the best spot to be in right now.
03:10:29 Und mit Allianz nicht gewinnen das Spiel über Checkpoint, sie haben 2nd in 2nd place zu Passion. Und ich denke, Stay Healthy sind jetzt die Spiel zu ihnen, als sie auf den Weg gehen. Wow. So close, und sie endlich nehmen es zu Ende. 2 Dubs für den ganzen Tag für den ganzen Tag. Sie nehmen die Spiel Nummer 1 und enden die Spiel auf die Spiel Nummer 6, Passion.
03:10:58 Coming out on top after struggling a lot in the previous Pro League games, Genome. And they finally take another dub to top it all off. Yeah, I've been so impressed with Passion today, honestly. This wasn't a team that was particularly on my radar. But look, I'm here to learn about Emiya, Vicky. And certainly something I'm writing down in my notes is watch out for Passion. Come LAN.
03:11:25 Man, not even the teams that are sitting in 17th in the overall regional standings could be slept on right now. Passion just coming in, said, all right, season 20, we got this, playing to their strengths, but specifically their positioning. This is definitely one of those teams that likes to play for N-Circle, as we've been seeing displayed throughout the last five games.
03:11:46 Yeah, they're not a team that I'm seeing bulldoze, steamroll through other teams and take the positions off them. It's a team that is identifying the correct spot to play very early on and then holding it out from there. So, you know, you need...
03:12:04 Extremely good teamfighting to be able to compete in Apex at the highest levels, but this ability that Passion has to get into those end circles is also very important.
03:12:17 Ja.
03:12:46 Exactly, and they really made the most of their situation, didn't they? You know, like, they could have ended up with, you know, much less kills than that, but they really maximized, you know, really just cleaned up everyone in checkpoint and then moved on. It was a hard rotate from them after that, but hey, at least they picked up the 16 points.
03:13:15 Absolutely. Looking all the way down, 07, trying to play for their life, only securing 1KP. Looking on the second page here, though, E6, unfortunately, didn't have that pop-off game that we wanted them to have to stay consistent in a lobby like this. They fall down here in 12, and we're able to get at least 2KP, but I felt like a lot of these teams, even looking at Cold with 4KP, had ended up falling in the middle of those rotates, unfortunately, just getting caught with a lot of third parties.
03:13:42 Yeah, unfortunately, uh, if it had been a bean circle, I think Cole would have been in a sick position, but yeah, not to be.
03:13:51 really, really fun way to close out the series here today. We almost had the bonus point being added. It was just this close with those fights on the edge that just did not go OAH's way. We saw some really, really strong consistency, like you guys were saying, though, out of the likes of Passion. I mean, there were teams today that needed to step up.
03:14:17 Das war die Geschichte der Tag. Welche Teams werden sich in contention für die Region Finals anfangen, sogar für LAN? Und einige Teams haben sie wirklich heute gebracht. Wir schauen uns jetzt an die Finale Circles für Matches 4-6. Und ich denke, Match Nummer 4, vielleicht nicht haben wir in Match 6, aber wir bekommen ein bisschen ein Highlight Reel hier für Orglas und Hungry in Match Nummer 4, weil wir sah...
03:14:42 Just how strongly were this entire match, whether we were catching up with them when it was on their rotates, pushing through chokes, they were just steamrolling any team that came in front of them. And when it got down to these final moments, we saw 2R1C trying to do something here with this height. They decided to drop down and see if they can make a little bit of a push, thinking that maybe this was going to work in their favor, but they forgot.
03:15:09 Das war die absolute Wrecking Ball. Das war OAH. Ich meine, sie waren able, dass sie sich zu einem wirklich guten Platz haben. Und für einen Moment, Tyler war in ein bisschen gefährlich von der Rat. Das war JMW. Aber sie waren able, dass sie ihn auszulassen haben. Und dann haben sie all das Spiel geöffnet. All sie hatten zu tun war, was warten.
03:15:32 They just had to wait for the perfect opportunity to make the push in. And the second they saw everything popping off, they make the move. Look at the spread they have around everybody else that's just clustered underneath this rock and are able to clean up match number one. And then match number five, things got just as spicy here, Gino.
03:15:53 Yeah, this was the fun game we had over at Lightning Rod. And if you'll remember, we had, yeah, it was Infinity up the top, 07 down the bottom. And we were talking about how important Caustic is in these kind of circles.
03:16:09 Um, you can see the Bang Alts trying to come down, but Watson also playing her par with the Interception Pylon there, being able to, uh, make sure they're not getting too stunned out. Now look at this, Infinite about to drop down, almost full health at this point.
03:16:25 Ich glaube, es ist wirklich interessant, um zu sehen, um zu sehen, ich glaube, es sind die E-Back-Tower kamen, die tatsächlich landen da. Das ist wild, von 07. Ihr accuracy ist so low, wenn du auf das jumpst.
03:16:50 Ja, sie starten der Tag strong und enden der Tag strong. Und es war mit heavy Kp. Even mit Gamer 1, sie gewonnen mit 7 Kp. Aber hier mit 11 Kp, zu cleanen den Rest der Lobby war etwas anderes. Ich meine, sie hatten nicht mehr die High-Ground, was so etwas anderes. Niemand hatte einen Weg zu contesten, ohne dass sie von allen Fällen getroffen sind. So, ein great showing von Passion. Und auch, die consistency, die immer in die Top 5 sind, wenn sie die Chance hatten.
03:17:14 Ja, das war massiv für sie. Und Sie sehen was es, wenn es zu diesen Series-resultaten. Orgelist & Hungry mit 91 points in der 1st-Place-Position. Aber Passion ist nicht so weit entfernt. 70 Points ist ein Phänomenal-Day hier, Gino. Ja, genau. Finishing off mit 45.
03:17:31 Placement points, that is a ridiculous stat line there. I mean, we'll have to go check out what their average placement was for the entire series later. But, you know, they were lagging behind a lot of other teams on, some other teams on kills, but it was just that consistent game plan that got them through this. The way that they really find themselves in these end circles was second to none today. Meanwhile, I'm looking at...
03:18:00 und es ist großartig für die Exoclan der Exoclan waren, die wir in den Bottom 10en waren. Wir haben uns über die Teile wirklich in den Bottom 10en gehört. Wir haben uns über die Teile wirklich in den Bottom 10en gelegt. Und sie haben sich in den 8en auf den Tag gelegt.
03:18:13 Absolutely, yeah. A lot of the teams that we were taking a look at to see if they could stay performing were absolutely able to step up. Even looking at CyberCats, we're talking about their consistency. Still staying in that top 10 is important for them to try to break through that barrier because they're finding themselves in that border between 7th and 8th. And that is just no man's land territory. You do not want to hang out there because you never know what could happen for a lot of these other teams that may find their pop-off days.
03:18:40 Und wir sehen uns jetzt wie viel die Series-Resulten impact unsere overallen Standings, als wir jetzt schauen, was zu Orglis and Hungry passiert. Sie sind jetzt nur 9 Punkte hinter. Ich meine, Aurora war so weit über alle Genome gekommen, und Orglis and Hungry hat jetzt komplett das Gap gedauert. Sie haben komplett schrunk es.
03:19:01 Of course, but you've essentially got the asterisk on your stream there, right? It says, you know, series play. So Aurora still have a chance to get, to essentially reopen that lead. And I imagine that they will because the lowest placement they've had so far is second. That is a stat. Dang. And not to mention though, Vicky, we talked about this at the top of the show. Our teams, if we're looking all the way forward to playoffs and land.
03:19:29 They're trying to get around the 90-point threshold to secure their spot to be able to play there. And Ordless in Hungary has essentially done that.
03:19:37 Absolutely. The magic number that you want to be in right now so that way you could have the opportunity to either participate in that regional final or be able to find yourself at a pretty decent spot in playoffs here. So a lot of these teams just aiming to make sure that they could either stay consistent or go above and beyond for the other squads like today that were on the bottom end of the overall standings now slowly crawling their way up as you can see here. Yeah, we'll start to take a look here too. Obviously we had talked about 50 points being that threshold.
03:20:06 für die Regionale Finale. Für die Gruppe hier, alle in der Bubble, die jetzt sehr gut zu machen, um das nächste Schritt zu machen. Aber trotzdem brauchen wir ein bisschen mehr Arbeit als wir nach 20. und unten. Denn, remember, jemand der nicht durch die Regionale Finale wird nach PLQ geholfen, und dann werden sie versuchen und kämpfen für das letzte Mal zu machen.
03:20:32 We did mention ExoClan. They have moved up a little bit after their performance here today. So maybe one more strong performance can at least put them in that bubble trying to get through to regional finals. Meanwhile, we'll have to see what the rest of these squads can do. But it is looking a little bit scary for some of them. But now it's time for us to turn our focus towards individual players. And if I'm being honest, I probably could have picked the entire squad for the MVP portion of today.
03:21:01 Ich habe viele Reasons für die gesamte Gruppe, aber am Ende der Tag, ich musste mit Tyler gehen.
03:21:16 And while he did end up with 21 kills, which is the EMEA record for this split on a single match day for individual kills, it wasn't just Tyler putting in the work. Matafe had the most assist, kinda had the most damage, which we heard Vicky mention as well when we're looking at those kill leaderboards. And as a whole, they just absolutely slayed out. We saw that they ended up with 91 points. That's also another record. They have beaten Aurora's previous split one record for most points on a day of 77.
03:21:43 von 91. So, es war nicht nur ein kleiner Margin. Sie haben absolut das Rekord gespielt. Aber dann, wenn es zu Tyler geht...
03:21:51 You need to remember, Tyler's a new addition to this squad. He's playing on the Bangalore for Orglas and Hungry, but he came in as a mid-season pickup when Unlucky went to Alliance. And Tyler is showing why he was picked up for Orglas and Hungry. I mean, over 6k damage dealt here today. A phenomenal performance on behalf of...
03:22:15 Tyler, als an individual, yes. On behalf of Orglis and Hungry, as well, on the whole, the back-to-back 15-kill wins into a 12-kill 3rd place finish. They were just unstoppable here today. So for me, it had to be Tyler for the MVP, but we also have an opportunity here to talk to Matafe from the squad, if I'm not mistaken. I believe he should be ready to go.
03:22:42 Congratulations, dude. Phenomenal day today. How is the squad feeling right now? Thank you. The vibes are amazing. I don't really have much more to say. At like fifth game, we were all out of breath from screaming, just saying chill down. Yeah, it was amazing today.
03:23:01 Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank.
03:23:19 Well, if I'm completely honest, yesterday after our not so good performance, we just went into VOD review, we focused on our games, and then we very strongly focused on Aurora's VODs. We went through everything they do every single game, and then just applied what we can to our gameplay, and then obviously we can't do everything the same, because in my opinion, they have the strongest two POIs in this meta, because they land hard edge, they have a lot of...
03:23:48 Wild life to kill, to get points, to get armors up, et cetera. We can't do that from our PYs, but yeah, we basically applied as much as we can and yeah, it worked.
03:23:59 I mean, that's actually really interesting. Looking at Aurora after, you know, the very dominating team, obviously in EMEA and taking note of that. I mean, going on to the next question for you, bringing back in Tyler, you know, he trusts you heavily as an IGO. We heard it in his interview yesterday. You said the vibes are high, but when you looked at the VOD review and after a lackluster day yesterday, what was that change mentally for the team when you guys saw that and then were able to replicate that success for today?
03:24:30 Ich glaube nicht, dass wir in ein schlechtes Mood gestern waren. Obviamente nicht gut geht, aber ich glaube, dass wir alle so glücklich sind, wie wir sind. Heute haben wir nur versucht, es zu prüfen. Aber wir waren glücklich, dass wir noch eines der top Teams sind. Auch mit Unlucky-Going, Tyler ist noch der Goat. So, ja, keine Probleme.
03:24:54 And then, you know, you were talking a little bit about your POIs just there before, Tyler. You know, having access to Pylon and Lava Siphon, which I think before the Season 20 changes, you would have said, you know, arguably some of, if not the best POIs on the map. How are you feeling about them now that we do have those changes? And things like PvE are so much more important to your early game.
03:25:21 Ja, ich denke, Early Rotation zu Zone, die wir in der ersten Hälfte der Split haben, ist viel schwieriger jetzt. Weil wenn du Upgrade zu Blue hast, du brauchst so viel damage, dass es fast unmöglich ist, dass du einfach nur Level Up von Damage bist, wie du vorher hast. So jetzt, wir spielen eine Minigame in der Spiel. Von einem Bin zu einem Bin zu einem Bin, zu Harvester Points, zu UAV, und collecting Points bis wir Purple bekommen.
03:25:50 We get in later on and play the game because we have such a big advantage over the teams that are there early. Well, you mentioned that you guys VOD reviewed heavily on Aurora and after today, now you smashed Aurora's record for points on an individual match day. How does that feel? Clearly, like it worked.
03:26:13 Yeah, it feels amazing. I don't know what to say. My teammates are crazy good today. They made zero mistakes. I personally threw two games, but yeah, they just played insane today. So the vibes are great. I mean, you were leading in assists as well, so I don't really know if you could say you threw two games because you guys slayed out. I won't keep you any longer, though. Congratulations one more time, Matafe. And thank you so much for coming on and chatting with us. Thank you.
03:26:45 Talk about Humble. How could he have thrown two games? I mean, either way, Orglis and Hungry were, they put on an absolute showcase on how to play in this new meta here today. So congratulations one more time to them. But we're almost done here in EMEA. So Vicky, I kind of want to get your final thoughts here on the day. I know you were excited to get into this Season 20 meta.
03:27:09 Yeah, I'm loving the legend diversity that we are seeing. Like Lifeline being put into the Pro League, seeing Wraith back into the play, potentially for World's Edge. It's just been so exciting. We're talking about different pathing that teams are having to take because of the evil harvesters. There's so much change that it feels like a fresh breath of air looking at Apex Legends from a competitive standpoint. And I honestly can't wait to see how other regions adjust to that leading up to land.
03:27:39 Gina, was your first time with us? First time here on the broadcast? I mean, we still have a whole another series to do, but how did Amia hold up so far?
03:27:48 I really enjoyed it. You know, Orglas and Hungary, they really put on a show. As you said, I enjoyed that very much. The incidence of Lifeline was quite high in this region. I think that always makes for fun because you're getting some early fights with like Krabers and stuff coming out. And then we had the Crypto. And that was one I maybe didn't expect as much. APEC North in times past were, you know, the region that had 60%.
03:28:18 in Kryptos in a lobby. But it seems like EMEA have taken over that mantle. NA will probably reign that in just a bit for you. See a little bit less of that as we move on to the next region. But speaking of NA, obviously we keep mentioning we might be done here in EMEA, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a whole...
03:28:40 So you have to make sure that you tune into that, all right? 3 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. ET, 11 p.m. GMT, and there is still tons of action to be had on behalf of all of these teams. Will Oxygen Esports be a squad that are able to pick up their performance? We saw a phenomenal, phenomenal day from them on match day four, now finding themselves just...
03:29:10 Just outside of that top 10. And you know that they're gonna wanna try and make a push in to claim one of those top 10 spots. Then of course we have GKS.
03:29:20 A team finding themselves just inside of the top 10 that I am talking about right now. Having a really strong day. Last time we got to see them play, will they be able to replicate that success here now that we get another chance to check in with them and their performance? And then of course, elevate top four right now in our overall standings. Finding themselves to be relatively consistent throughout the season here so far. What will this new meta in season 20 be?
03:29:49 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
03:29:59 Play Apex Esports on X and YouTube or at Play Apex on Twitch. And that way you won't miss a single second of how any of this split plays out. Now, like I said, we've got a little bit of time before our next region. So while you're waiting, go play some Apex. Test out what you've seen some of our pros doing here and see if any of those strats help you climb that ranked ladder. We'll see you right back here at NA in just a little bit.
