EMEA Pro League Match Day 5 – Halbzeit der Split 2

00:05:34

00:05:34 We are back and it's Match Day 5 here in EMEA, which means after today, we will officially be at the halfway point already for Split 2. Which of our teams will step up to the plate and try to turn their season around? And which of our teams will continue on finding success? Well, I can't wait to find out. My name is Glitter Explosion and I'll be your host here today. And you know we have to round out the team. We've got Vicky and Gina in the house today. Vicky, EMEA was so...

00:06:03 So close yesterday. Tell me your thoughts. I mean, that was so crazy. Not only were they just points away, but we saw Cybercats winning with Pathfinder. I mean, what mix-up are we going to be witnessing from Amiya today, especially since time has flown by? I just can't believe we're already halfway down through the season, Glitter. Yeah, it's going to be a really exciting day. Definitely an important day for some of these teams, to be sure. Genome, could this potentially be the turning point for some of these squads?

00:06:29 It absolutely could be. I mean, we've seen some teams already manage to turn around, you know, a horrible day one and come back and do them incredibly. I'm thinking about ninjas in pajamas from an 18th to a 1st. Who will that be today? Look, I'm super excited to be here and to find out. Yeah, it's going to be a really good day of Apex Legends action and source. I hope everybody at home, you are ready to get into it. Before we start talking about what we have on the docket for today, though.

00:06:57 Remember, this is an ALGS-packed weekend, so let's summarize everything we saw from yesterday in case you missed it, because there's a lot that we need to go over. Some of these teams even playing again here today. The name of the game yesterday was just Variety. We had a different winner for every single one of our six matches, and this was also the first time that we got to see our groups face off against each other again.

00:07:22 Ja, ich meine, sechs verschiedene Teams haben gewonnen. Na'vi war nicht mehr gesehen, bis sie fast zu den Party und die Leaderboards waren, wo sie das große Spiel mit den Doppelgängen gewonnen haben. Aber ich denke, mit den Doppelgängern und den Doppelgängern, mit den Doppelgängern und mit den Doppelgängern, die verschiedene Stylen von diesen Teams zu verändern, es hat sich auch sehr spannend zu sehen, wie sie aus den Doppelgängern gewonnen haben.

00:07:50 Yeah, look, even some of the teams who, you know, maybe we didn't expect to make as big of a splash like Atlas, like Trojan coming through there and did a really good job. Yeah, that's a really good point. And we talked about that too, how this has kind of leveled the playing field. We heard it in our interviews that other names, other teams are starting to really kind of shine here with the changes of that POI draft system as we take a look at our regular season standings as well. Right now it is Gaming Gladiators at...

00:08:15 der Top mit 56, aber sehr auf der Taille ist der newly-namen Faze Clan, nur drei Punkte behind. Passion U.A., die Team das won, in der Matchday 4, mit 50 Punkte. Und es ist ebenso, als wir auf den Weg gehen, wir sehen, Cybercats haben eine wirklich strong Performance in 2nd, und dann die Top 10, die Anc. Outplayed ist ein wichtiges Thema, Anc. Outplayed ist auf 2-Series.

00:08:41 So they still have an opportunity to get some points to jump up in this top ten here, Vickie. Yeah, and then you look at the second page here. You look at the teams that are still on that cusp. Aurora, we know that if they have it in them, they played three series as far. Gonna be playing their fourth. And then you look at teams like Alliance that obviously have been playing less games so far. So they will be able to add that number three points to their name after the end of today. Can they remain consistent though? Like the teams that we saw on that first page, specifically Gaiman Gladiators. But teams that I have on my radar.

00:09:09 Gino brought it up. Atlas, I have Exoclan still that I can't wait to see more of as we see more of these teams kind of shape things out since we are halfway through the season at this point, Gino.

00:09:19 Yeah, look, and as you guys rightly pointed out, there is a discrepancy at the moment. Some teams have played two, some teams have played three series. If you find yourself in this bottom ten and you've played three series, that's a genuine worry. Some of the other teams there, Nine Lies is one I'm looking at, who I think, you know, has a chance to have a good game and definitely push themselves back up once they're on parity with the rest of these teams. And then some of the other ones, like, you know, Apex Warlords with the loss of Shiv have really been struggling.

00:09:47 But there's always a chance for them to come back. Yeah, absolutely. And this would definitely be the day to do it. We'll have to see what some of these teams can bring to the table. But which teams are we going to be watching here today, you're asking? Well, let's take a look, okay? It's Groups A and C here today. Some big names as well as some teams that really need to improve their performances so far, Vicky.

00:10:06 Ja, ich habe es schon erwähnt, Aurora, wir wissen, was sie haben in Ordnung für uns. Sie sind die einzige Squad zu versuchen, diese Lifeline zu schaffen. Kann das Ding aussehen für sie, als wir sehen, dass andere Teams wirklich adjustieren zu diesen Legend-Compositions, die wir schon erwähnt haben? Wir haben es schon erwähnt, am Anfang der Show, Cybercats mit der Mad Maggie, der Pathfinder.

00:10:26 Finding a dub on top of that, as well as being, what, three points away from getting first place yesterday? Can they keep that consistency? Even talking about teams like FaZe, it's so nice to see FaZe now make it back entrance to the MIA scene, rather coming into the MIA scene for the first time, but coming back into Apex with a different squad.

00:10:45 Es ist wirklich schön zu sehen, und es gibt noch mehr von ein paar Teams zu sehen, Vicky. Aber eine Sache, dass ich meine Augen auf bin, ist Ninjas in Pajamas. Sie haben so gut gemacht, seit dem letzten Matchday.

00:11:03 Aber es war nicht immer so, es war ein schweres Start zu der Season. Der erste Tag, sie wurde 18. Sie waren E-Vac-ing in die Outer Bounds-Ares und verlieren zwei der Team-Members. Da waren einige Calls von Nasky. Aber als sie auf die Rollen switched, das ist dann die Rollen zu verbessern. Ich denke, sie waren ein bisschen worried, wie ihre Composition war mit Nasky auf die Anker Roll, auf die Catalyst. Wenn ihr ihr IGL in die Backländer...

00:11:31 es wirklich gut funktioniert. Und ich denke, wenn du nicht die meisten mit den Legends bist, um die IGL in einen Platz zu holen, wo sie aufhören können, und die Informen sind immer sehr wichtig. Und ich denke, das ist wie die Veränderung, die 07 gemacht hat, und dann Becoming Ninjas in Pyjamas, sah sie in der zweiten Matchday. Und Sie können hier sehen, dass sie vielleicht nicht ein Dubschrauber haben, aber sie waren consistent, und sie haben genug Kills genommen.

00:12:00 Yeah, and I think that consistency is so important because we've seen that not only in EMEA, but also in NA, where it's what is putting some of these teams at the top of those match days, right? It's not necessarily about getting the win and then having games where you fall off aggressively. It's proving that you can be in a top three situation every single time. You guys mentioned a lot of teams when we were looking at those participants, though. Another one that I did hear was...

00:12:28 Who the f*** is Q Yanz? What? How does he have 24 kills?

00:13:00 An Exo? Holy f**k, that brother's boosting! Swinny get a cheetah?

00:13:10 Sweeney nicht geteilt, Yange ist einfach anders hier für Exo, als sie ein paar Veränderungen haben, mit Brinn aus Komponenten von Apex und Exo versucht etwas ein bisschen anders mit dem Newcastle zu machen. Wir haben vielleicht vielleicht ein paar Legend-Picks, die wir in der EMEA-Region haben, weil Exo ist definitiv eine solche Gruppe, die versucht zu versuchen, andere Sachen zu versuchen. Ich meine, Day 3 Resultat, du hast 3.4k damage für Slayers, ich mache das mit Yange.

00:13:40 Exo was able to win this game for the first game actually of the day on Stormpoint. And they were consistently within that top five on Worlds Edge back to back for the first two games of their day. This is a team that definitely could get the KP, but it's about the consistency in getting those placements and trying out these new things. And Yan's just being cracked on this squad. As we take a look now at the Slayers card, 10 kills like I mentioned before, 3.4k damage in total. Slayers being another one to really match that.

00:14:09 Und was ist mit Swinnie in den Picks? Ich versuche, wenn der Mann auf der Legends-Screen ist, jemand nützt sein, und er ist auf ein randomer Charakter, wie Newcastle?

00:14:27 Ich bin hier für die off-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick. Ich bin nicht mehr über die Auf-meta-pick.

00:14:53 Ja, definitiv, das letzte Spiel war ein bisschen schwer für mich. Dinge nicht wie ich sie wollte. Es war ein bisschen zu nicht auf der Land, zu sehen, dass alle spielen und Spaß haben und mich zu sitzen, aber es ist ein Teil davon. Du kannst nicht gewinnen, du kannst nicht gut machen, du kannst nicht gut machen.

00:15:20 Er denkt über meine Beziehung. Er denkt über was ich muss, um zurück zu sein. Und ich denke, ich mache das jetzt mit GoNext. Ein wirklich guter Team. Meine Team sind sehr jung, sehr motiviert, viel Potenzial. Und ich denke, wir nehmen die richtigen Schritte, um zurück zu sein, stärker als immer.

00:15:42 Jetzt haben wir Kashera, Slab & Kais.

00:16:11 und sie sehen wie sie zu finden, als ein Trio zu finden. Sie sind in 10. Und dann haben sie sich umgekehrt, und sie haben sich umgekehrt, auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0 auf der 3.0

00:16:34 Picking up that consistency, which we've talked about, how important that is. And with Kashera on IGL right now, I feel like the only way is up for them. And the question is, is this the redemption arc for Kashera? He is arguably the closest any EMEA team has gotten to winning a LAN. And you know, after missing split one, he's going to want to come back on a mission.

Face It Watch und POI-Draft-Analyse

00:16:54

00:16:54 We mentioned a lot of really great teams there, though, so hopefully you guys at home love them as well. But if you wanted to keep your eyes on some of the other squads we have competing here today, don't worry, we have a way for you to do that as well. Of course, it's our Face It Watch. If you head on over there, not only can you watch up to four team POVs simultaneously, but you have that dedicated map POV, as well as those live team comps with an audio mixer that allows you to balance the audio any way you want it. It's a perfect way to fine-tune your ALGS.

00:17:23 So if you do want to watch it, you can head on over to FCE.GG forward slash watch ALGS to check it all out. And then you'll be ready to go for all of the action we have in store today here in match day five. And all of that action is just about ready to get underway. Vicky Genome, I hope you're ready because match number one is. So let's get into it.

00:17:47 Thank you so much, Glitter. Genome, I'm so glad to welcome you back here in North America after the action that we were able to see over in the APAC region. But now that we dive into another day within EMEA, we saw some shakeups yesterday. Man, these POI drafts have not disappointed whatsoever. What I want to see, though, more diversity in some of these end circles, okay? We got to talk about it because we need to see some things shift our way. But what can that...

00:18:14 kind of go hand in hand with the teams and their decision on these different POIs as we take a look at that schedule for the day. Game number one, of course, we are starting off on World's Edge for these first three games before we transition onto Stormpoint. Now, it's a super important point, Vicky, because...

00:18:31 The teams need to be taking that into account when they are looking at the POI draft system, right? I mean, it can turn a bad POI in terms of loot, in terms of position, into a really good one if you can just waltz in to the end circle game after game. So as we take a look here at where these teams are picking, maybe one of those will jump out at us.

00:18:55 Ich sehe Allianne aus Skywesten, nach all den Skyhooken, die wir in den letzten Jahren gesehen haben. Katz zu Harvester gehen, sogar auf die Teams, die immer noch weiter nach den Teams, die immer noch weiter zu versuchen, Dome zu versuchen. Wunderschöne hier, mit diesen Quads, was wir werden, und die Veränderungen sind, dass viele Teams in den letzten Gruppen gespielt haben. Ich meine, SurveyCamp pick 12? Das ist nicht etwas, was ich erwartet.

00:19:24 Ja, das sind die kinder Dinge, die wir uns aufhören müssen und sagen, warum haben sie Prioritiertiert das? Genau, und jetzt schauen wir die Teams, die Streets sind, Trojan, K&C, Staging, und ich glaube auch, dass Dome ist, so viele Teams sind jetzt einfach nur die Dome, wie die Pläge. Wir können sehen, wie diese Circles, wenn wir nach dem Norden gehen,

00:19:50 Could benefit some of these squads, actually. Taking advantage of these other final circles that we've been witnessing within Pro League.

00:19:57 I mean, looking at this, you've got, you know, Big Maud gets picked up there, and that's important because when you start taking a Big Maud pick, when you've already got someone at Stax, not only is it a little bit risky for a team like Go Next, but it also means that free Asian kids who tried to pick up Stax early, you know, through no fault of their own, it's become much, much weaker. And then if you look next to them as well at Ninjas in Pyjamas who have gone from Siphon West,

00:20:27 You know, one of the reasons they're picking up good POIs on both maps, Vicky, is because they've actually said to other people, if you land Siphon, we are coming to contest you. So one of the things that POI Draft was meant to get rid of was this sort of like metagame. But teams like Nip, they've still found a way to use that to their advantage.

00:20:45 I'm so glad you bring that up because we were actually able to talk to Nasky. I believe it was match day one in the middle of our halftime show. And even Nasky was like, you know, even with these POI drafts, like contests can still happen. We can make them happen. Even with these evil harvesters, you know that someone's going to get the jump on another person. But it's the fact that they made that statement that is absolutely insane, but also highlights the confidence in this team as we take a nice look at this flyby on where our teams are once again going to be dropping.

00:21:15 I think Alliance landing over by Skyhook West. A little change up than the usual Thermal Station that we get to usually see them in. Now going to be able to take advantage of Trials being right there with Aurora being right next to them here too. As well as Apex Warlords definitely needing to get the ball rolling as Shiv has unfortunately, but understandably taken a bit of a setback here. Retiring from competitive Apex while he lets his injuries heal. As we take a look at more Phase landing over by Lontag. Once again, Dome being open, but also opens up some of the rotating.

00:21:44 Ja, ich meine, Dome war bereits ein POI, das war schon zu sehen, dass es Love und Play war in High-Level Competitiven, sogar vor dem POI-Draft-System war. Und meistens, ein Team von Launch Site wäre split-droppingen Dome, aber...

00:21:59 Going back to what we talked about before, about where the circles have been pulling so far this season, Vicky, Dome is seeing basically zero end circles. So the only thing it had going for it, which was like, you know, you can, it's actually really easy to play a home ground, you know, zone from Dome, is now gone as well. And there is essentially zero redeeming features for that POI.

00:22:22 Also, talking about what we've witnessed.

00:22:52 Yeah, I'd have to agree with that as well. I think if we look at what makes a winning draft,

00:23:20 from what we've seen in these first few weeks, it really is just not having one week POI. So I think the people towards the middle of the draft have been doing slightly better in that way because I think people would rather have...

00:23:34 two middling POIs than one really good POI and one really rough POI, because it means that you have a chance on both maps rather than just being like, well, look, if the circle, you know, we pick Sky West and the circles do not pull our way, all of a sudden it's really tough to play.

00:23:52 Yeah, it's difficult, especially with some of the legend compositions that we've also had hand in hand for some of these squads and why it's been interesting to see if some of these teams do want to shake things up now that we are halfway through the season where they may find, I mean, talking about what we saw yesterday, Cybercats using the Pathfinder to try to cross distance in a different way than what we've witnessed from teams that have opted to use the Wraith, for example, in some of these rotates. Even seeing now the Fuse being brought into

00:24:21 Das macht Sinn, wenn es um ihn zu können, um diese Ring-Consoles zu verändern.

00:24:30 Yeah, it's an interesting pick-up for some of those. Okay, let's have a little chat about this, Vicky. This is the average draft position on World's Edge for the EMEA region. Now, looking at across all the POIs here, it's no surprise SkyWest, one of the most powerful places. I mean, I know I just said, you know, if you don't get some circles, maybe SkyWest isn't so good. But that's probably one of the few POIs where that's not actually the case because...

00:24:57 Mit wie stark an edged Playstyle ist, besonders mit einem Pick wie Fuse in deinem Hand, wo du für das 3rd Ring-Console scanst, SkyWest einfach so viel Loot, so viele Evo Harvesters, und eigentlich auf dem Map, du kannst mit purple-to-red Armors rollen, und einfach so weit in die Circle.

00:25:21 And that's why teams like Alliance prioritize that SkyWest positioning. That way they can play off of that spot depending on where that circle is going to be pulling. Even looking all the way down to Overlook, the way that teams have been able to rotate from Overlook here based off of their draft positioning here. Side-by-side with Syphon in general, whether it be...

00:25:40 Siphon West or Siphon East, you're still in that middle part of the map where you could try to close out the distance when it comes to some of the rotates that you want to take, even though we've been seeing more of these Northwestern circles. Yeah, there's definitely a lot going up near towards Overlook, like you said, Vicky. I'm just having a look at some, you know, we're having a look at the draft here as we see the players go through their legend picks.

00:26:06 Um, is there anything fun, anything, you know, really interesting that stands out to us here? Glad to see, uh, Nasky back on that Bangalore. As we talked about, that was one of the reasons why they were, um, doing so well. Okay, Cleve on the Gibby? Is that real?

00:26:23 Don't get my hopes up. I know, right? Every time we get that screen and there's like a crazy, crazy pick on there, you know, they debate us. That's why I never get my hopes up here when it comes to the dungeon selects that we may be witnessing, but who knows as we tune in now.

00:26:39 To our first team. Gonna be looting over by Lava Siphon. Hot Zone here too, by the way. As well as an Evil Harvester. Some of these POI draft picks do. Also go hand in hand with. What utility these POIs provide. We have to talk about the rain console. The survey beacons as well. Considering the fact that. You mentioned anything interesting with these. Different legend comps. Well, as everyone could expect. Of course we're going to have. The shoe in with the bloodhound. With the bangalore. But then you insert third legend cure.

00:27:09 Ja, ja, ich glaube, Fuse ist nicht mehr in der nächsten Zeit, Vicky, insbesondere während der Evac Tower, Fuse Ultimate Motherlode play ist in der Spiel und ist legit. Es ist sicherlich, dass es ein Grund, warum diese Spieler sind das.

00:27:35 The legend pick Page did not lie to us. We have not been Gevated. Cleave is on Gibraltar. Alonzi is on Caustic. And Ranchers is on Wraith. This is a throwback. I was going to say, what year is it? Like 2022, I want to say.

00:27:58 Oh, man. And what? They're benefiting off of the circle pool here, too. They'll have the survey beacon. Well, actually, no, they don't. They won't have that, but they will be able to at least hold this position depending on how all these other teams will start rotating into that circle. But, all right, this is going to be a very interesting first game here, Gino. We were asking if we're going to get delivered another northern zone. Well, why don't we find Apex meeting us in the middle here?

00:28:25 Yeah, we're getting another circle that's going towards the middle. You know, popping back to have a look at that atlas of where these kind of zones have ended. This one looks a little more southern. It's definitely not going to end, I don't think, anywhere north of Harvorside. It should be on the other side of those mountains, Vicky. And I think it could end near the RVs outside the tunnel south. But more so recently, we've actually seen it end...

00:28:53 Like, within Monument itself, or at least within the southern part of Monument. So, like, sort of in the rocks and in that area where construction used to be.

00:29:04 I've seen two versions of this circle, actually. Yesterday I was able to win as a circle like this where it actually pulled towards exactly where you mentioned, south of Monument, but still on the train tracks by the rocks that exit out of the Lance-like tunnel. And that's a very tricky place to hold, especially early game, because you know so many teams are going to be looking at you. This is definitely going to be one of those circles where depending on your legend comp, rotating there early could just be a death sentence as we see. Go next, lose out on Slab first. Ooh, Slab.

Teamkämpfe, Rotationen und Zonenverlagerungen

00:29:33

00:29:33 I'd say probably one of the most improved players in Apex generally in the last 12 to 18 months here, unfortunately, is going to be the thorn in the side of his team at the start of this game. I mean, you know, so many times when you see a player go down first, right? It's hard to say without seeing exactly what happened there, but, you know...

00:29:56 Das ist der Weg zu komplett ruinen dein Team's Spiel für das bestimmte Match. Und, ihr wisst, dass das sehr wichtig ist. Und ich weiß, dass das ganz generell ist, aber es ist wirklich etwas, was die Spieler zu arbeiten müssen.

00:30:12 ...kalling out a player in the middle of their rotate. Ninjas in Pajamas were able to capitalize. They rotated immediately from north of Lava Siphon. So that way they were able to pick up that player. And now they're going to be able to have two of the informations that they have over in Geyser. Even if it's a Lackless or Loot POI. It's the fact that you have the Survey Beacon and a Ring console to benefit off of if your comp provides it. As we take a look at more of these teams here. Looking at Landslide, DMS taking on to the height. As 9 Lies are actually right in front of them.

00:30:39 So many squads have already taken advantage of the multi-buildings that are in Monument for them to co-exist in. Yep, quite a few teams up there, and then you can see DMS just holding it out over here on the height in Landslide. I don't know if any teams are actually going to rotate through here. Maybe later on, if they get held out at the Northern Harvester Choke, maybe they try and go through the Landslide Vault Tunnel. ExoClan currently just, you know,

00:31:08 Flitting around down near staging and a harvester looking to grab some Evo harvesters. Maybe that means they make a move up in that direction, but this is nine lives verse Aurora over here near the skyhook vault tunnel

00:31:21 Team that has no issue taking a lot of these fights though, Oirein, popping that beast of the hunt, gonna be able to get that knock already, noting that there is a team in the distance which was DMS that have not moved from the high ground platform over by landslide. I don't expect them to give up that spot here too, so Aurora feeling pretty confident and not only taking that free KP, but also taking some extra loot that they may have lacked after trying to rotate quickly from Skyhook West.

00:31:43 Ja, ich meine, ich glaube, dass sie die Survey Beacon auf Grandma's Haus hat. Sie haben die Information über wo Nine Lives war und sagen, hey, wir können sie einfach hier auf den Tunnel gehen und um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

00:32:10 Was a scary team is hard actually on crumbs was able to survive with one HP before now having to move closer into that next circle Maybe GG's here even if the team right above them are is already gonna be taking that jump tower cuz go next are right Alongside them on the high ground still holding the edge of this circle for right now while more squads make their way in I know FA kids are by that choke They're actually looking at them right now. So calling in that cat wall. They are gonna be able to reposition inside these buildings

00:32:41 Ich denke, ich werde das einfach ein bisschen schneller nehmen. Ich habe ein paar Shots von der Kross, aber es ist nicht... ...Critical Damage an diesem Punkt für Go-Next. Fayser ist sehr split an diesem Punkt, aber es ist F.A. Kids, die sie haben zu beschäftigen. Und als die Circle shifts, sehr centrally...

00:33:03 Harvester will actually have a little more to play with this game because Alliance and ExoClan, who are currently sitting around in Harvester, will be able to sit in here for another circle or two, at least approaching that choke to the north of them. But I think they're probably going to have to sort out their differences first, Vicky. I really like this rotation that Alliance had taken to even get over to Harvester here. As we take a look at the fight happening over on this north side by Survey, an isolated fight at that.

00:33:31 Ja, und das ist ein sehr guter Callout über die Alt da, als auch Big E, weil...

00:33:59 It's important to get that alt online early. And sometimes if you greed it too much, right? I mean, it doesn't get extended anymore. The, you know, Nox will not extend your Beast of the Hunt. As we take a look at that, you know, that central circle, it's going to benefit teams like Trojan and ANC Outplayed. And, you know, once you get that online, it's all good. You can go ham. But sometimes just because of...

00:34:22 Being able to use that ultimate for less time than you ever have before, teams will try and greet it a little bit too much. And, you know, it does take a little while to activate. You need to do that in safety. So not popping in early enough, crucial error there for rolling teams.

00:34:39 Now, as we take a look at Ninjas in Pajamas, let's jump into a listening to see how they try to navigate around the Bang ult, but also trying to get into that next circle while they feel pressured.

00:35:05 Ja, ja, ja, ja.

00:35:32 They knocked one, I think, on blue. Let me go back and turn. Hold this spot for a little bit, but then come. Yeah, okay, okay. 15 flush. He got a battle. 20 on him. I need heavy soon. I'm 130 heavy. We need a 3P this. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come, come. Abfi, come, come,

00:35:59 Ich denke, ich denke, es gibt nichts zu tun hier. Wir werden in den Choke getrennt und wir können mit Angus auf dem ansehen. Ja, ja, ja. Ich werde mit dem backen. Ich werde mit dem backen, okay? Ich werde mit dem backen. Ja. Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, wir müssen mit dem fighten. In der Zone, in der Zone. Ja, in der Zone. 50 blue, 50 blue, in der Zone. 20, 20 purple. One guy close to me, one guy close to me. I almost cracked both, I almost cracked both. Scan me, scan me, scan me. Scan me, scan me.

00:36:28 Nothing close to you. They're just in zone. There's two of them. Bank's let down, I'm pretty sure. I saw one up there on blue crate. Okay. Our team can also come from our back maybe. Look at zone pool. We are in. Take the spot. Take the spot. Go back. Go back. Go back. I'm B-Lining. I'm B-Lining. I'm B-Lining.

00:36:49 I love the passion that we always get to hear from these comms, especially coming in from Nasky, splitting his attention in two different ways. When he tells you to put the evac tower down, but then that one person is one shot. They still were able to navigate away, acknowledge what the other team behind them wanted to do before trying to see if they could take a different fight here as Exoclan also make an appearance by this choke.

00:37:11 Yeah, so ExoClan, they're holding that trope that we were talking about here north of Siphon, right? We were saying how Alliance and them probably gonna have to have a fight at some point. ExoClan have turned that to their favorite right now because they've taken this spot up nice and early. As long as no one is sending them from the north side, they will be able to just fire down here upon Alliance and maybe even go next in FaZeClan. At least there's one of the FaZeClan members left alive who are...

00:37:38 Sie werden wahrscheinlich über die Lava River machen, um zu versuchen, zu über Exo zu gehen. Ich weiß nicht, wie der Solo von Kneecap hat in die nächste Zone gewonnen. Wir müssen uns auf die Teams, die sowas als Duel oder Solo spielen.

00:37:59 Gonna have to start deciding whether they want to commit over to that north side or south side circle. Because the ring is closing in. And Gonext is right next to them. If they do push into that next edge though. Seems like Alliance are gonna be waiting for them on the other side. They are literally one. They get blasted. They trade knock for knock though. They need to go for a shield swap. Hedon is able to pull it off here. And the shield bet is coming out. With 19 squads left though. Another player. He gets the crack. He leaves them one. Jobs all the way down. But with the cat wall. You have to be careful to see if you can try to get this reset.

00:38:28 Oh Gott, und ich habe es so late, Vicky. Die Zone ist geschlossen und sie müssen das gemacht werden. All right, sure, Kainer kommt mit dem Teamfight-Win da, aber auf was kostet? Er wird über hier gehen. ExoClan, sie haben das gehört, sie haben das, sie haben tatsächlich gesehen. Und ja, ich denke, das wird die ganze Zeit gemacht werden. Für Free Agent Kins! No way! No way! Es wird also getauscht.

00:38:54 How did that even... How did that work? I am appalled right now at how quick. Aurora just got taken out where they were holding the door, letting the circle do its damage, and Navi were still able to just break through, delete Aurora, and now there is a team on the high ground looking at them as DMS and Trojan have that slight lip by the train tracks. DMS try to take this fight and isolate one member from Trojan in the back line. Woah. Alright, Nip now. Overlooking.

00:39:23 Quite a few teams, you've got Cybercats, Eternal, Apex Warlords, as well as Rolling Teams here, down the bottom. You can see Cybercats barely with any space to play, but hey, they've got the Corsics to keep themselves safe, and they've got the Gibby Bubble for those micro-rotates. Wow, Alonzi, though, taking a lot of damage, thanks to the Gibby Bubble, though, and the extra-large Gibby Bubble coming in for its nice service for Cybercats. So he has ranches, though.

00:39:53 The more healthy one alive, as Kalief gets taken down, tries to see if he can just try to leave a shield swap there, because ninjas and pajamas have other plans to involve themselves in this fight, even through all the toxic gas, as Amphi gets the finishing bloke here, leaving only one alive for Cybercats. Not content to sit on the sidelines, Nip get involved. Will it be a decision that they regret, though? Natsuki and Amphi have hit the floor here. Zayn, who has been leading from the front when ninjas and pajamas have been doing...

00:40:22 Das war so viele Teams, ich war einfach nur auf den Boden, dass Nip, natürlich, sie wollten und die KP gewinnen, aber du kannst dein Willkommen, wenn es so viele andere Teams gibt.

00:40:42 Yeah, they've got the evac towers to work this. When you see teams playing positions like that where they need to get through choke,

00:41:11 Ich denke, es ist nicht der richtige Spiel zu gehen, ohne dass du den Evac-Tower option hast. Und das bedeutet, dass sie das Spiel gegen Exo und sie sind. Exo ist jetzt aus, und Allianz ist noch in diesem Spiel.

00:41:28 Now outplayed, still with Blue Evos. It looks like Will can't reset here. He gets knocked. Andy Jax, though, gets shot from behind. He's forced to drop down. This is the scary part about rotating here when you're in the line of sight of so many teams, even if you're running the Watson comp. Now Andy Jax having to play this out as a solo four right now, but every other team in this final circle are playing on the edge.

00:41:49 I mean, as you mentioned, they're playing a Watson comp. That means it was perfect for sitting in that godspot for the longest time. They get a little bit too big for their britches here. And unfortunately, now down to one. And it's going to be the teams who took their time and upgraded their armors who get to push in. Not only that, they benefit from having the pylon in the RV. It's such a strong spot to hold. Alliance incredibly lucky to pull that off. And now in a fantastic spot to win this game.

00:42:19 Weihnachtsmus came early for Alliance out here. They're also going to just benefit all of these Watson fences here too while they try to see if they can try to poke at any other squads that want to approach into Alliance's side. Remember, Alliance's whole rotation point.

00:42:32 from Sky West was to prioritize their pathing on the Evo Harvesters. That is always what Alliance likes to do when it takes their time in rotating into these circles. Because now, look at this, they got the Red Evos, they're playing off that Logon, they're able to fight their way into Godspot right now while also holding two different split angles. Yeah, I mean, you know, you say it's Christmas, someone else already set up the Christmas tree and the lights for them. Alright, let's see if they're already unwrapping their presents and have a listen in with Alliance.

00:43:01 We're all gonna fight on the other side. Look, look, look, right side. It's only two there. It's only two in the right. Okay, he's probably on the other side. Okay, stand, stand him here. Yes. Sixty frag. Frag two. Frag three. Frag three if you can. I can play. I'm going to fight this. Fight this, fight this, fight this. In front of me. I'm with you.

00:43:26 100 dead! Blut, blut, blut!

00:43:45 Allianz ist in prime position jetzt mit den Kongl. Sie sehen, Graceful, die in die Rock für die Leben. Als eine andere Team schoops in, Nessie geteilt, unsere letzten zwei Quatschen zwischen DMS und Allianz, und Allianz ist zu nehmen hier. Es war Killer Catwall, die sie in diese Position genommen haben. Will sie convert es, Vicky? Oh, aber Effect ist Unstoppable! One Punch kommen in, calling die One Punch-Man, als Allianz take Game No. 1 confidently.

00:44:14 Oh man, it was a great conversion there from Alliance. I mean, we talked about how important it was for them to take that position away from ANC outplayed, but it wasn't done from there. Those last couple of fights really, they had to use some good utility to isolate teams and be able to play clean 3v3 so that teams like...

00:44:38 Was it DMA there? They came in at the end and then was able to just make sure that they weren't a party to one of those efforts for Alliance to take first place.

Alliance gewinnt Spiel 1, Analyse der Strategien und Teamleistungen

00:44:50

00:44:50 What was also amazing to watch is their different positioning in splitting Focus Fire, especially at that last fight. With Effect holding onto the high ground, you're forcing the opposition to literally look around like chameleons and make sure if they're getting Focus Fire from a different direction, that means that they have to now split that attention to wherever Effect is, while the rest of Alliance is just going to be able to take some free pickings there and some free shots while they're at it. So a great game played for Alliance. From the very beginning, I was highlighting how I really liked their rotation.

00:45:19 from SkyWest all the way through Harvester, and the way that they were able to prioritize the Evil Harvester. Now on top of that, getting the KP that they needed as we take a look at the first match results, finalizing Alliance's dub with 9 KP, but pretty even KP split across the board, I would say, at least for our first three squads here, even looking at Nessie with 7 KP. Yeah, I mean, does this say something to us about how important that SkyWest pick is, right? I mean...

00:45:46 It was the number one, you know, average draft pick for a reason. It has just converted into 21 points here from Alliance. That's massive. It's also a massive result there for DMS with 15 and even Nessie with 14, who, as we mentioned, need to do very, very well to make their way to the split two playoffs.

00:46:05 Absolutely. Even looking at FaZe, sitting in that 10th place spot, as we take a look at Apex, Warlords starting to crawl their way up, at least getting 11th with 2 KP. Nice little start here. Well, we saw what happened with Ninjas in Pajamas. They were caught in the middle of their rotate, but caught in the chaos that was going down over by Monument. So as we get to see more of these teams, even Aurora, I mean, we see that they're getting the KP. We saw them chase down that team over by Skyhook, but they are just not ever in the position to get those placement points.

00:46:35 Es ist sehr schwierig, wenn man so viele Fights early auf geht. Talking about some teams who made it a little bit later in the game, here is our Top 3. Some good damage across the board from these players. You're seeing even, you know, Hackers there as the anchor on Catalyst.

00:46:54 He's got two amazing Fraggers on the controller, Player's Unlucky and Effect backing him up, and he's still keeping pace there and contributing. None of the kills, actually, but as long as you are piping in with the damage and the calls like Hakkas is, certainly earning his place on that team and helping them earn the first place in Game 1.

00:47:12 Got to enable their Frager out here and Effect and Unlucky are amazing at following up with one another. I also see right here that DMS having that fuse, being able to get the information from the ring, but also getting the basic UAV that you have with the mother load when you get to see so many different teams clustered together, even around whether it be a big rock or an evac tower, as we've seen before. But it's nice to see two catalysts up there in the top three squads too. And with game number one in the books, we got some more action going right now.

00:47:42 We'll back to World's Edge on the other side of this break. Alienware is the official PC and monitor partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

00:49:30 mit der Apex Legends-Global-Serie, wo wir einfach mal Nummer 1 von Match Day 5 hier in EMEA haben. Und es war ein sehr cooles Start zu kicken, als wir dann bereit sind, um die Nummer 2 zu machen. Vor dem zu machen, wir schauen uns mal an diese Final-Momenten. Und das war eigentlich Massive für viele der Teams. Wir haben gesagt, dass es ein Turnaround-Week für einige. Allianz war die Team in der Mitte des Tages, und heute starten mit einem Bang, zu sagen.

00:49:59 Ja, wir sind ein Team, die wir immer bebetten, auf sie kommen, am Ende des Jahres zu machen. Aber sie müssen in den Wurzeln sein. Also, ich denke, vielleicht ein Big Day ist auf die Karte für sie hier, als sie versuchen, das ein bisschen mehr sicherzustellen. Ich meine, du sagst das auch, wenn du hast, wir hatten Nessie in der Top 3, mit Graceful able, zu atmetern an das 3rd place als Solo. Und dann...

00:50:27 Even DMS, they were not in the best spot in that overall leaderboard. Everyone in that first match top three was a team that needs to make a difference in a big way to really start kind of impacting the outcome of this entire split. So I'm interested to see if this continues now throughout the rest of the day. But after that first match specifically, Alliance looked really strong.

00:50:54 We even saw a lot of the teams that were not getting those placement points still had some really good early game fights and got some KP on the board. I think it was Navi, FA Kids Go Next, like 6-4 and 4, even though they went out early still. And that was really impactful for them as well, because in those situations that we saw this happen a lot yesterday as well, Genome, when our teams know that they are unlikely to get that top three placement, those kills actually make a huge difference.

00:51:22 Of course they do. And I think it's also, you know, that teams who end up regularly doing that well, it's because they are so good at eking points out, even in the bad games, even in the games where the zones don't favor them, they will find a way to get those six, eight points by just squeaking out a couple of team wipes or maybe making it into that top 10. Well, we'll have to see.

00:51:50 If some of this snowballs a little bit for some of those teams, or if the squads that have been sitting at the top pick it up here, obviously so many factors going into that.

00:52:01 Starting off the day with a relatively central zone. Now we'll have to see what happens, where things shift from here. And you guys were also talking about it when you were looking at those POI drafts. No one taking Dome in EMEA this time around. We've seen that be a pattern in EMEA. We do see NA more willing to take that Dome drop. And we also saw some stacks endings yesterday. So with that POI being open, does that potentially benefit?

Team-Positionen und Strategie-Überlegungen in Skyhook

00:52:30

00:52:30 The people that are down there. I think it's FA Kids and Go next to that area. I think FaZe is down there as well. So potentially extra loot if we do end up getting some sort of a southern shift.

00:52:39 Ja, ich meine, wenn du ein Circle erwartet, ist, dass du Stax und du bist, wie FaZe, in Launch Sight, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst, du kannst,

00:53:08 und den Soutern-Teams zu bekommen, wenn wir einen solchen Zonen sehen können. Ich wollte sehen, ob wir eine Veränderung haben, um die Cybercats zu machen, als auch, nachdem wir ein bisschen ein throwback haben, zu sagen. Wir sehen, ob wir auch, wie wir ein paar Mal sehen, haben wir auch, wie wir ein paar Mal gesehen haben, haben wir einen Pathfinder und Maggi gestern. Ich denke, sie haben es gewechselt, hier?

00:53:36 Ich habe einen Trojan Gibby-Pick gesehen. Ich weiß nicht, ob das was in Game 1 passiert. Aber ist Gibby... ist die Gibby-Meta zurückgegangen? Wir sind jetzt nicht möglich. Surely. Vielleicht gibt es eine Chance.

00:53:54 Well, we'll have to see what happens here with both of those teams as we jump on board with the winners of Last Match Alliance. And you guys mentioned, obviously, they have the number one draft pick right now when it comes to that POI up at SkyWest, being able to get themselves very looted up, noting that Aurora did pick Sky East, so there will be someone up there kind of splitting that POI, but not getting the exact same level of loot that Alliance will be coming out with.

00:54:22 So never really wanted to run into each other, but so far coexisting nicely. Yeah, teams in Skyhook have, I think, long since learned how to do that. But you never know. And I think the way that we have seen new teams pick up new POIs makes that, you know, more and more likely. And okay, we are going to...

00:54:46 Skyhook here, by the looks of things, we have seen quite a few Skyhook zones. You know, there have been some around Grandma's house there to the northwest of Monument, near where that survey beacon is that you can see just there. However...

00:55:02 I think this is a little bit too northwest for that to happen here, Glitter. I think we will be shifting over to the other side of the mountain. And if that happens, you know, it'll generally be somewhere around maybe like the diner where the top of Aurora is currently placing. We haven't seen as many circles pull over to the drill just outside of the tunnels.

Frühe Bewegungen und Kämpfe um Positionen

00:55:26

00:55:26 And I'm definitely keeping my eyes on some of those teams as obviously people are moving in really early. Two of those teams are the ones we literally just saw in top three last time around. Obviously Alliance up there at the great POI, but Nessie moving up very quickly from Landslide. And everyone trying to find some space to see if they can get those points on the board. Go next, the team I talked about at the beginning of the day here today.

00:55:49 Oh, no. Hmm, ist es möglich? Go next versus Nip hier. Team seem to be taking their time.

00:56:19 Going for the res now though. We'll just give Nip the advantage. They do actually need to hurry up a little bit here. FA Kids are coming up from stacks and that's gonna be much worse for Go Next than ninjas in pajamas here because they're the team stuck in the middle glitter. The fact...

00:56:42 Maske was knocked really, just kind of saved, go next, and allowed them to disengage and get away from it. Like you said, Fakid spurred the commotion and was pushing up, seeing if they could maybe third party, something like that. Everybody escaping and managing to choose a different option there for their rotation. Meanwhile, we've got Aurora already finding themselves back and forth. Back with NiP, though, we thought...

00:57:03 Oh no, Aurora taking an early hit here as well.

00:57:30 Okay, how are they going to get themselves out of this little trouble? I mean, we were just talking before about how they were in a fantastic spot. They were, you know, the zone was quite likely to end on them. And sure, their composition isn't necessarily set up for that Vicky. You know, they're not a Watson team who is happy to just sit there and camp on top of their pylon for ring after ring after ring closure. But having moved all the way north now...

00:57:56 It's sort of like they have to fight their way in, but doing that with the two members left alive could be a little tough. Maybe they find their way out, and with that support legend on their team, they can actually try and craft a banner and get the respawn back in?

00:58:12 They're definitely in a tight spot right now. Like you said, they at least are able to grab the banner. They're going to be going in the direction of that beacon. But everybody knows that that's what Aurora is going to want to do right now. So it's requiring some serious movement out of Impulse to at least escape all of the damage that people are trying to send. They find one caught out, able to push them up that zip line and at least claim some space here on the first floor and allow them a little bit of time to get this phoenix off. But Aurora...

00:58:41 Know that this is not going to be an easy recovery. It's not at all, but you know, it looks like they might just be happy to stick this one out as a duo rather than trying to come in and out of Skyhook when, you know, there's going to be so many teams that can just poke their head out a door and get rid of you, especially when, you know, you can see they're really kind of struggling at the moment.

00:59:15 Might be a perfect lull here, opportunity for Aurora to get that res. Respawn does go through. Will Hardeki be able to escape the incoming damage of everyone looking this direction now? I mean, Aurora had some really good timing with that, at least. And he does have the building that he can slip right into as soon as he lands. So it was risky, but they made it work.

00:59:40 I love how the ghost of Hardeki was just sort of sitting on the floor there before he even respawned in. But he does actually make it in there. And that's super important here from Aurora. Even, you know, as they stick in here, obviously they're not going to have the most amazing...

00:59:56 Um, time in terms of loot, you know, he's just come back in, you spawn him with two cells, two syringes, and nothing else. A little bit of ammo there, but being able to occasionally spawn in some care packages and just grab, uh, you know, a couple of bats from that at a time, um, not having to worry about health vents, I guess, with the dock drone up may actually make this doable for Aurora, but it's gonna be, it's gonna be a hard one for a team who, uh, would prefer to be pushing into zone a little bit later.

01:00:24 Yeah, at least more doable than it was when they were just a duo. And it might be a situation where those tippy-taps do come in very useful if they're having to fend off a lot of these teams in that general vicinity. Everyone trying to look for some building space. Meanwhile, trying to see what Navi have found themselves. And you can see that they're on that northern side.

01:00:49 Oh, Chaos is the word. Especially when, you know, I think these teams have seen

Zonenverschiebungen und Team-Anpassungen

01:01:18

01:01:18 Probably what I was seeing in that first circle. And that's why they're clustered towards the northern side. But as you can see, it's actually pulled a little more towards the south. And you've got five or six buildings free currently. And that...

01:01:31 is potentially where the circle is headed. So teams like FaZe Clan, GoNext, maybe even Ninjas in Pyjamas, if they can get there in time, might just waltz their way into a beautiful endgame spot here and also be running in with the red armors that we saw that they'd managed to gain earlier on. And depending where FaZe goes, if GoNext is able to move in and somehow hit that ring console for free...

01:01:58 Und ich glaube, dass die Wraithen, die zwei Wraithen geöffnet werden kann, dass sie wirklich Möglichkeiten für sie, als wir endlich getrennt, dass es ein Pathfinder auf Stibberkatz gibt. Ich liebe, dass sie so willig zu machen, diese off-meta-choice zu sehen, was sie können für sie arbeiten. Ich glaube, dass sie nicht jemanden erwartet, wenn sie ihren Spiel auf World's Edge gewonnen haben.

01:02:27 Es ist wirklich refreshing. Es ist so refreshing. Gib mir ein Zip-Line-Zen. Ich möchte die Rotate auf die Zip-Line-Zen sehen. Es ist etwas, dass wir in Apex-Competitive haben. Und wenn es jemand gibt, ein bisschen joy zu...

01:02:48 ...to help us back into, you know, something a little more fun, something we haven't seen for a while. We can rely on Cybercats to just be doing that for us here. Now, we're looking at Kneecap here, and they were someone that was actually behind GoNex and PhaseClan, as far as how slowly and late they were rotating into this circle, but they...

01:03:08 Take the Balloon in and you can see that that extra time has really allowed them to get their shields in a really solid spot right now. So they should be feeling pretty comfortable here. They claimed one of those empty buildings that you were talking about as well, Genome. And they've got the Kraber in hand, so they can kind of bunker down here for a little bit. Yeah, most of those buildings have actually been taken up by now. I think there's maybe one or two left free. But as you say...

01:03:32 Certainly the teams who rotated in later have been blessed with this circle pull. We'll get the next bit of that information very soon as round two does end up closing. And yep, it pulls all the way down south west. That is truly a wild pullback considering the start of this and also just, you know, where the season 21 circles had been going prior.

01:04:01 Hard times for a lot of these teams who were reading that as I was. But, you know, now we've got FaZe Clan and GoNext. Gonna be very happy about it. And somehow we come back and we see Alliance going out. Nine Lions having been almost decimated themselves. Aurora, a squad we were concerned about.

01:04:23 We should apparently handling their own. Yeah, in a situation where even though this zone shifted as far away from them as possible, they were able to make a really wide rep towards the tippy top of that circle and start cleaning up some of these other fights. Nine lies really low after their fight and Aurora looking to see if they can maybe third that a little bit. But if they can clear out nine lies, they'll have a relatively simple...

01:04:48 Ja, hier habe ich gesagt, ich denke, dass Aurora einfach nur eine andere Team war, wenn es klar ist, dass es einfach nur eine andere Team sein wird, wenn es klar ist, dass es einfach nur eine andere Team sein wird, wenn es klar ist, dass es einfach nur eine andere Team sein wird, um die Evo zu holen, um ihre Evo zu holen, um ihre Evo zu holen und zu holen. Das ist die Wahrheit, nicht wahr?

01:05:09 Wooh.

01:05:37 Not a good start to the fight for them, as you mentioned. But back up there. I think that was the... Was that a gold not coming out? Either way, Aurora will stamp their authority on this building and get one step closer to a good game. They've got just a sliver to work with here. You can see... Oi, rain!

01:05:58 Oh no, they're down to 2 again. This time it's the Charge Rifle Grief and Na'Vi. I don't think they're gonna let them stand. Na'Vi were the one team that could have potentially prevented a Roté. Instead, they just take it to Aurora. They hear the fight going down and Na'Vi make a really solid push. Hardeki is down. There's just a solo left on Aurora who was able to escape. It's 9 Impulse, at least keeping...

01:06:24 The hopes and dreams for some placement points alive for them. Meanwhile, go next on the bottom floor of this building. Kashira, very low, trying to see if they can win this fight here.

01:06:35 Ja, speziell wenn du den Katzen hast, du kannst die Bannersen und du kannst die Bannersen und du kannst die Bannersen und du kannst die Bannersen ein bisschen schwerer für die anderen Teams zu gehen hier. Ich will note, dass nach dem Kampf, Navi tatsächlich abschandt, ging zurück zu den Markt und das hat die Tür örtet für Aurora, die Bannersen und da ist ein Re-Spawn Beacon. Ich denke, sie sind eigentlich zurückgegangen. Surely nicht. You wouldn't think so. Someone hat's to see it happening.

01:07:03 There are some teams on top of Skyhook looking at this, but they have spawned back in. At least one of them. Talk about resilience out of Aurora right now. I think you're right. They've got the full trio back in. Stay Healthy was looking their way. Meanwhile, Exoclan down in the killfeed. I think the problem is everybody else...

01:07:23 Focused on fighting each other. No one's looking at Aurora. You see FaZe holding the top of this building. They moved in pretty nicely and claimed early. They've been doing a good job holding it so far. But we thought they might be safe. Look at where that next ring has shifted. It continues pulling away from everybody. Half of it's now just mountain. It is. It's a ring that's scared of the players. It is running away from them. And that means that ninjas in pajamas, who are essentially the last team to make it into Skyhook,

Späte Rotationen und entscheidende Kämpfe

01:07:52

01:07:52 Sie haben die beste Position aus jeder. Sie spielen unter der Raven. Sie sind Stopped. Sie haben Evos. Sie haben alles in der Weg gehen. Das ist sozusagen ihre Spiel zu verlieren.

01:08:07 Die Faze war in den Faden, und das ist wo alle diese Fälle starten. Die Rollen-Teams geteilt werden, als Cybercats spielen und spielen ein paar kleine Kühle hier, versuchen sie zu kreieren, für sie sich selbst zu machen. Und alle anderen sind auch zu tun. Du hast über Ninjas in Pajamas gespielt, und die Kieler sind in den Kiel, aber sie sind in den Kieler.

01:08:32 Nasty Nasty playing the Bombardier class right now. Where did he even get all those days? Man's just unloaded about half his backpack on about half the lobby sitting in that building.

01:08:52 Das war verrückt, wie viel Spoiler er hat für die Teams gespielt. Aurora war einer dieser. Stay healthy in der Killpeer, wie wir sehen, was Atlas hat.

01:09:05 Trying to hide in this little sliver of a corner while they get themselves shielded back up. DMS move in, clear out Atlas. Everyone is starting to drop as this collapse has been continuing on. And it has not been kind to some of these teams.

01:09:24 Es hat sich schon einen Ruhigen gemacht. Es ist verrückt, dass es, ich weiß nicht, wie viele Teams in dieser Bildung sind, die Survey Beacon 1. Currently, Alonzi ist der einzige Spieler, da. Ich meine, du kannst all die Death Boxen sehen. Es gibt 5 plus Teams in dieser Bildung, und keine von ihnen, currently, sind lefte zu stehen. Trojans, die in der Little Depression, in der Juste...

01:09:48 Das wird in der nächsten Ring sein, während ich denke, nur die tiniere Schlüssel in der Bühne ist da. Und die resten der Teams sind in den anderen Bühnen, die in den nächsten 30 Sekunden haben, und in den nächsten 30 Sekunden haben sie zu machen.

01:10:16 Meanwhile, wir haben Gonext, die auf der Seite hält. Die Eastern-Edge ist ziemlich gut für sich. Sie haben Kneecap für sich mit hier. Cybercats, das Solo. Alonzi, endlich auf DMS hat. Gonext hat viel Schmerz. Gonext hat viel Schmerz. Als sie versuchen zu peak, Kneecap geht. Slab ist jetzt. Kashera hat nur eine Hilfe. Und Gonext ist jetzt auch aus.

01:10:40 Tough there from Kai. Doesn't know the timing of the opposing Catwalls, you know, the Darked Veil. And so as soon as it goes down, they take a little bit too much damage without the option to retreat. Nip here are getting really into it. And as we talked about, they had everything in this circle go their way. And they'll finish it off in the blink of an eye there. A great win from our team.

01:11:06 Ich habe das 2-1-Split mit Nasky gesucht, mit Nasky auf dem Aufangeln, so als Teams wie Gonext versucht, ja, der Wall war blockiert auf der Seite von DMS, aber Nip war nur in den Wings auf der anderen Seite, als sie nicht escape. Es gab keinen Platz für sie.

01:11:34 Ninjas in Pajamas just played that so flawlessly. That's what we know they can bring to the table. That's why they're now under that new banner of Ninjas in Pajamas. That's why you talked about them at the top of the show, Gino. Yeah, exactly. You know, Don's been helping them through making some good changes there on that team. And that just shows you exactly why. I mean, I think we've got to call out the zone luck a little bit there.

01:12:01 Ich weiß nicht, wenn wir es wo wir erwartet, es wäre ein viel schwieriger Weg für Nip. Aber, you know, manchmal RNGs just lays his own in your lap, und wir nehmen die Wün. Wir nehmen die Wün.

01:12:15 Was a really fun match number two is to take a look at those results and see what that means for Nip 11 kills for a 23 point match number two. That is a big, big game. But once again, we're seeing these teams along the way picking up massive KP meets seven for DMS seven for going seven all the way down there for phase clan six for Navi. The aggression right now, these teams are not letting up.

01:12:39 A couple of lucky 7s there, but I mean, damn, man, that 11 kills is huge for Nip. But yeah, looking at the bottom 10 here of our second game, we can see Aurora. Look, honestly, those three points were a very hard one. I mean, I know it's done a lot, but if that makes the difference between a couple of spots there for them, I think they can appreciate how much they worked for that there. And then you've got other teams like Nine Lies.

01:13:08 taking out a win. Nessi, unfortunately, falling off no points there in the second game after their very impressive performance in Game 1.

01:13:19 was mostly a result of the aggressive zone shifts for a lot of those teams as you get a chance to take a look at some of the stats here six kills on Natsuki almost 1600 damage I think at least 50% of those kills were in fact frag kills oh that's it yeah that's a good that'd be a cool stat to see just by itself I mean Zane has been leading most of the stats for this team here in split so you know Natsuki to be chipping in like that is impressive by him by the IG

01:13:49 Das war eine Massive performance aus Nipp und wir sehen uns die Series results. Es gibt nur drei Punkte hinter DMS im ersten Platz. Allianz struggling ein bisschen in match 2, aber sie sind in 3rd mit 21. Und dann starten zu werden wirklich close. 16, 16, 15, 15, 14. Ich meine, es ist still early in unsere Series hier heute, so es ist jemand zu gewinnen. Aber wenn Nippe auf eine Snowball wie das, würde ich ein bisschen Angst, Gino.

01:14:17 Oh, yeah, we know where that goes. We know what happens if Nip are playing that kind of Apex. They end up on top of the pile. They are certainly a team that can, you know, I think on their best days, lay claim to being the best team in the EMEA region.

01:14:37 All right, well, that was a really exciting match number two. Hopefully we continue on with our exciting matches in match number three. Before we get into it, though, it's time for a short break, so don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. Herman Miller is the official chair partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

01:16:29 Welcome back, everyone. Two games in the books, Genome. We got so much more action to go. Guys...

Analyse des zweiten Spiels und Strategie-Überlegungen

01:16:36

01:16:36 Ninjas in Pajamas, they take that dub, but can we talk about the circle shifting all the way? Like truly the furthest west you could possibly go in Skyhook with Nasty Nasty tossing, yeeting all of the Arc Stars and Nades in the direction of this squad, getting a triple with the regular Nade after getting the initial crack with the Arc Stars. I mean, that went by so fast, I didn't like exactly get confirmation. Was that a full squad wipe with one Nade?

01:17:04 Es sahen, wie er hat er drei Kräcks. Er hat ihn ausgeladen, wenn die Circle geschlossen hat. Und dann hat der Regular Nate drei Spieler geschlossen. So das ist das was es sahen. Aber es ist auch viel größer zu sehen, wie er das able zu geben, den aktuellen Vorteil zu engagieren. Sie wussten bereits, dass die Team gespielt hat, was bereits zu engagieren. Sie wussten bereits, dass die Team gespielt hat, was bereits zu engagieren. So sie waren able, zu gehen und zu cleanen, was der Lobby war. Wer kam aus Skyhook after das.

01:17:33 Ja, ja, das war irgendwie krass. Obviamente, die mehr Teams du eliminieren, um, eher an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an, an...

01:17:49 Und, you know, just sending it, being like, hey, Nipper and Godspot, we have to go for them or we're done for. And so, you know, having eliminated some of those teams earlier on, it's such an easy play for Nip to just come in. And, you know, when you see a team running quickly like that at the end there, Vicky, you know that means they know they've got the game won, essentially, and they just want to get more KP. They're like, hey, we don't even want the second and third place teams to steal any of this away from them. Let's go in and get involved early.

01:18:17 And that's exactly what they did with 11KP taking that dub. But there is a team that I have been keeping my eyes on at DMS with another second place finish. Pretty huge out here when it comes to those placement points and surviving in a circle like that too. So all eyes on DMS for this final game on World's Edge if they can remain consistent.

01:18:36 Ja, das ist ein Team, ich glaube, dass sie 18th sind, heute. So sie sind ein Team, das ist definitiv nicht aus, in terms von Land Contention zu machen, und zu machen es, um, Overseas zu, um, das Big Ticket Item zu haben. Aber sie müssen ein paar guter Ergebnisse, um, zu steigen, um, die, um, und wirklich bringen sie home.

01:18:57 Ja, ich meine, das ist ein Weg zu starten, vor allem mit der Momentum zu starten, aber es ist nicht ein dub in der Name für diese ersten zwei Spiele, insbesondere für Allianz. Ich meine, es ist wirklich 100-0 für die Nummer 2, nachdem ich bin zwischen, ich glaube es war Aurora und Nine Lies. Als wir sehen uns auf Game 3 wieder, hopfen auf World's Edge und sehen, wo das nächste Cirkel könnte uns nehmen. Hmm, wo es geht? Wir haben...

01:19:23 Two quite different ones already, which has been a little bit nice. Hopefully we can spread it out a bit more. I mean, the fact that we have been going to sort of, I want to say some, you know, quote unquote, old school spots like the RV in the southwest of Skyhook. I wonder if there have been, you know, some circle zone algorithm changes behind the scenes that have led to that. I know, I think I saw someone talking about that being a possible solution to the repetition that we'd seen recently.

01:19:51 Das ist eigentlich sehr interessant. A lot of factors that I've also considered. Wondering, Snipedon hat this theory with the lava. Can that be part of it where we don't see more of these circles with lava being inside of them? Wondering here how that could kind of go hand in hand with the way that these circles have been pooling for this season. But now with game number three starting off, the dropships have exited.

01:20:17 Ja, und es war nicht nur die Fakt, dass die Circle kam zu ihnen, sondern es kam zu ihnen in einer Weise, dass jeder andere Team, was rotating aus dem, was es, Zone 5...

01:20:41 Das war wirklich nur eine Schöne-Gallerie. Das war wirklich nur eine Schöne-Gallerie, um die 11 Kills, die NINJA in Pajamas endet mit. So, die Zone gebeten sie nicht nur Placement Points, aber auch die KP. Und das ist nicht zu sagen, dass sie nicht executieren, weil ich glaube, das ist etwas, was die Abilität...

01:21:05 To execute correctly, you know, when you do get one of those situations that favors you, you know, it's not a lock-in. Not every team would have been able to come out on top and not necessarily with that many points in that kind of situation.

01:21:19 Especially with Skyhook allowing so many teams to coexist, basically. But we're not taking a trip over to the west side of World Edge. Nope. We're going to be now looking at Navi, who have ring information over by Overlook to see that they actually have circle advantage. And even in no name, having a survey beacon right there to see where some of these squads are neighboring their POI and where they're going to be rotating to as well. So they even have an evil harvester. So right now, they are thriving as more of these teams are going to be taking their time to start rotating into a circle, which kind of...

01:21:49 It kind of leaves you out in the open if it could potentially be pulling towards the bins that we've seen north of the train tracks before, or if it could be pulling towards the rocks that you currently see Ethernal heading towards.

01:22:01 I mean, if we're going off the theory, you know, because we're just, you know, it's all map zone conspiracy theories today that we're throwing around here. If we're going back to sort of what it has been in the past, then yeah, I'm thinking it might be something like where Eternal was sitting up there north of the rocks here, north of this drill tower that we're seeing Navi take position up in right now. I see the ping's coming in from Navi.

01:22:31 See, where some of these squads are already going to be rotating. They already have the blue, thanks to that evil harvester that they had right here. But if they do want to stay pretty here, you have to remember that they're not going to have the best loot as time has gone on. And they are going to be able to poke. But they will be able to sit here for positioning advantage. Even with that ring console that we see with a little flyby here. Just letting everybody know that that's where more teams are probably going to try to rotate through in that choke. But Navi hears his other squad.

01:22:56 Within the areas, Eternal had really quickly made sure that they could rotate north of Overlook. And yeah, north of Overlook, I think, is a good bet, as we were just mentioning there. Henchman, I think he might have been one of the players highlighted in some stats posts we had on the subreddit recently. As being a player who's, you know, maybe slipped under the radar a little bit so far, but...

01:23:26 He has a chance with Na'Vi to see some accolades on his name, especially if we see Na'Vi have a repeat performance of doing so well, at least within the EMEA region, they are known to be one of the top performers.

01:23:49 I don't expect more here from the team that's probably sitting in seventh after the last two games. There's more of these squads with those different compositions, especially with the Watson bunkering down for where they could be in a better spot in this final zone. Squads now flying in, trying to see if they could find a building at the very least over, but they've lost out on Will as they land the triple take, taking him out in the middle of him flying through.

01:24:19 And then Graceful. And we'll finish him off as well. Adding even more pain there for ANC outplay. God, that would have been such a great position for them to hold as well if they had the full trio. At least they've got the controller player left alive, the controller class player, just to be specific. That means that position is a little more defensible for the duo.

Strategische Entscheidungen und Team-Dynamiken im dritten Spiel

01:24:50

01:24:50 Nice to note here that Outplayed was the team that actually won. The last time that these two groups played together are on top with 61 total points above. Now FaZe, previously next up with 58.

01:25:04 So, very similar look, but different approach as the weeks have gone by within this split, too, with the way a lot of these teams have tried to now take advantage of the POI draft and try to see how quickly they can rotate into these final circles with a different look of composition, too. Of course, now we're seeing way more of the catalyst and how the utility of the catalyst is coming clutch for teams that have to land and immediately put the wall up and then bunker down themselves. It's nasty. Sends out another arc. May not have been as nasty as the other nades that we saw in the previous game, but a great way just...

01:25:34 Ja, es ist ein bisschen eine quickerer Rotation in der Circle dieses Mal. Interessant ein Veränderung hier für Ninjas in Pajamas. Coming up von Syphon, es war nicht eine große Rotate von ihnen, aber sie könnten ihre Zeit zum Backtrack, Stax, Mord, Geyser und pick-up die Evo Harvesters, um zu solidifizieren die Purples vorzunehmen.

01:26:02 Ja, das ist etwas, was du möchtest. Sie sind flexibel. Sie können ihre Plans ändern, welches die Zone ist. Und das ist was du musst, als ein Top-Tier IGL, und zufrieden und zufrieden und zufrieden, in Apex Legends E-Sports. Und das Phase ist auch, wenn sie sich noch nicht auf, wenn sie einen von ihnen verlieren. Es gibt noch mehr Teams, durch die No-Name-Cyber-Cats auf der Nord-Side, mit F8-Kids hinter ihnen.

01:26:28 So in between that.

01:26:58 Okay, so that was the play. Nip want to take the edge of Overlook so that they get this zone. What is that? Zone 4 information here. So it's the late ring console play.

01:27:20 Und das bedeutet, Nip hat sich das alle, dass alle, wie wir vorhin waren, wie wir vorhin waren, in Sight, Overlook, sie sind alle wrong. Und Nip hat sich wieder die Möglichkeit, um, in die Zone zu kommen, wo niemand anderes ist. Es fühlt sich, wie sie diese, ich weiß nicht, super-secret Spies, die immer, um, die, um, die Code haben, und eine step ahead von alle anderen, in terms of Informationen, und wie sie das macht, um, diese Late-Games zu spielen.

01:27:48 What's great is that Trojan was able to do the same thing except with the ring console in Geyser. So even if it did keep pulling towards Overlook, they had a 50-50 rotate whether they wanted to approach through the choke by Geyser or even take the roundabout positioning through Overlook. And now, knowing that it's going to be pulling more so towards the northwest side of Overlook on the outskirts, which is very open, they're already taking a nice position, taking the evac tower so that way they can start rotating just like Ninjas of Pajamas did right there after they've landed now on the bottom.

01:28:17 Ja, genau.

01:28:31 Anfe, Anfe, with a slow run, rotates, even trying to get away.

01:29:00 Das ist so schwer von dem. So Nip, da, tatsächlich, zu nutzen die Unterpass, da, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um.

01:29:29 Riss, you take care as Beast of the Hunt was activated. We just saw a beam on the other side as now we look at Grandma's House. Alliance looking to keep Nine Lies and maybe get a little bit of revenge after what happened in the last game here too. But Nine Lies does have a slight advantage with the Red Evo playing underneath now. So Alliance...

01:29:50 Gibt es ein bisschen damage mit der Thermite. Looking gut in terms of Loot hier, too. I mean, he's got the Gold Energy Mag on the Volt. Still trying to put in some extra pressure. You see the Scans as well. And they're just going to try to take advantage of this Rotate. Maybe if they haven't already grabbed the Evil Harvester, get that, too, hier on the other side. But Nine Lies are going to be taking way more of this Ring Pressure before they exit out of the building.

01:30:14 Ja, wie lange ist der Allianz bereit sein, um zu kommen, um ihre eigenen Meds zu versuchen, um 9 Liza zu halten? Exo-Klan ein bisschen weiter in hier. Sie sind richtig in den Thicken, eigentlich. Sie haben Nessie und Trojan nearby.

01:30:33 No Newcastle today, but they do have the horizon on Jens, that pop-off player that we highlighted at the start of today. Man, when you have a heavy fragger coming in to really start opening up the fight, best to have Jens on that horizon so that way they get into a better position, which is very interesting considering the options that more of these teams are going for the control legend pick for that third. Insert once again the Watson, the catalyst that we've been seeing too.

01:31:02 Even the Cossack, especially on World's Edge, since you play in these much more close range fights inside these buildings. FaZe again in trouble, though, with Exo having the high ground over them. Another team looking at them from the other side tier two. Nifto may have to say goodbye. Back to the lobby, Zayn goes. He was the last one alive, and it was only a matter of time as Aurora was chasing him down.

01:31:24 Oh, such a shame as well. They found their way into an awesome position, but a bit hard to hold that out in that kind of situation with two players. Aurora, as you said, on the north side there looking in. They'll be pretty happy about that. And ExoClan as well, if they can get to the bridge that they're near. I mean, teams definitely like playing this little bluff here because...

01:31:49 Um, it allows them just such good vantage points and also blocks off, uh, a lot of their backsides, so you don't have to worry about it as much. The anchor player, um, you know, can come pretty easily when teams are coming behind them, but if they then make that move to the bridge eventually, it'll sort of lead them towards the train cars, uh, and that's roundabout where this zone is going to end, Vicky.

01:32:12 Oh man, we're rolling towards those rocks that we were looking at, but more so by the train tracks right smack in the middle of where everybody is looking. DMS have already taken that position and rolling teams are the other squad that has found that train cart. And it's Navi right now who are trying to plan their next move. Let's jump into it listening with Navi as the circle closes right behind them.

01:32:42 Ja, ja, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier, wir sind hier.

01:33:08 All we have to do is survive. Do we have something to play? I got my kill. Nice. You can scan up front if you want. Just scan for in for right as well. Wow, let's scan forward first. I can swing left on timing. Listen, I can swing left on timing. And we stick to the wall. We stick to the wall. I think you wall from here straight forward. Okay. And just play forward slow.

Entscheidende Momente und das Finale des dritten Spiels

01:33:35

01:33:35 With some passion in those comms, screaming all around to see where they could go next here. Gonna have to tune in to that squad to see how they're gonna be able to exit from the squad that's right on top of them. Three other teams in their line of sight as FaZe have managed to make the comeback. They have managed to get all members back up looking to see this other squad that's neighboring right in the truck alongside them. Yeah, well look if you...

01:34:00 If things are going wrong, then, you know, those kind of comms are what you expect here. And they are going wrong for DMS here as Exoclan moves in to take their position. They had such a great start to this lobby here. But unfortunately, Exoclan are going to end their chances here in Game 3.

01:34:21 Oh no, he's going to get the Lifeline Cure Pack to block his back, Aurora go down, Exo is on the other side here as Alliance gets the revive. They also were able to get the gold knockdown, probably also thanks to the Lifeline Death Box that's now right there. Thank you very much, as they're going to be able to benefit off of Aurora now. And they're also going to be able to look at Exo, who are still safe on the other train cart.

01:34:45 Go next playing in pretty much the most southern spot of any team right now You can see this cat wall is trying to buy them time to make that make that next move They have to get past cyber cats and Nessie

01:35:00 Can they do that it's gonna be a tough climb up here the scan from slab giving them the information Of where that next step goes they decide they need to take a little time here. Maybe they go down And the low ground is the way to play this out Atlas though patience pays off the beam with the habit coming in the tracking as he follows up with the hemlock now

01:35:23 One after one, everyone slides in their direction and go next, get eliminated. We saw them right now just next to them on the low ground and Atlas were exiting out of the tunnel, engaging in that first fight before now getting all the loot at their feet here from two different teams. Multiple rats now sitting in the middle of the ring. Cybercats and ANC outplayed have managed to grab a couple of placement points for their team. Maybe that will go a little bit longer, but...

01:35:51 It looks like Alliance here. I've got a lot of loot to work with, but is the position going to work for them? It's going to be tough. You can see them already putting the Hurt down on Eternal, who stand between them and a spot on the high ground here in this last zone.

01:36:12 Okay, FaZe Clan, oh no, get taken out by Exo!

01:36:39 And that was the fight on the other side, the opposite side here to Alliance. And Eternal Survivor is a single. You can just see Bambino up the top there. But I don't think he's going to have an easy time making it into this next circle. Stay healthy. They're actually occupying a lot of space here on the high ground trying to keep these other guys at bay. Why don't we have a listen in with them?

01:37:08 Du hast das Rock in Front Verstapply?

01:37:41 Ich habe kein Gehirn. Ich habe kein Gehirn für mich. Okay, das ist gut. Wenn ich sage, komm zurück zu uns, dann bitte zu mir. Ich habe eine Ultimation, hat jemand eine? Nein, nein, nein. Okay, ich habe Bloodholt, ich bin nicht sicher. Ich habe Bangle, ich habe Bangle.

01:37:59 Stay healthy. They're trying to make that Survey Camp pick work here. One of genuinely the most perplexing POI draft spots I have seen so far. A first pick, and I think it was number 12 for Survey Camp. It had me confused, but if they walk away here with a win, Vicky, maybe they are vindicated in that choice.

01:38:25 Highlights the way that they feel confident in some of these rotations too. And the team that has been pressuring them out when we heard those comms is no other than Alliance. With a lucky running double energy only at 146 and counting now. Emo left. Having to be careful with the way they try to take advantage of what they have working for them. While still maintaining the position that they have currently with four squads left.

01:38:49 It's a bit of a tense standoff between these last four squads, all alive for them. And you can see the high ground makes such a difference here for Alliance and Stay Healthy, especially because Stay Healthy now having to move out of theirs, while Alliance will be able to keep theirs for a much longer time. But will they drop on Exo's head? That's my next question.

01:39:13 I also wonder here, with Alliance and Atlas having Catalyst, if that's gonna come in clutch. The wall has come up, but they lose out on Hockies as he was in the middle of the animation of pulling up that wall. Now it's only up to Effect. Alliance now playing behind two knockdowns. There's still another spot looking to see if they get right behind them. He has to watch out. He's getting shot right behind him. Another Catwall to save the day. Effect now chasing that one last player before Atlas.

01:39:37 Well played from Atlas there. I mean, Exo, not willing to wait. They take matters into their own hands and actually push up against.

01:40:05 um, the high ground of Alliance, it doesn't necessarily work out for them, but, um, because of that decision, the evac that Atlas are able to take up, uh, is just a, you know, a ride straight to victory, essentially, there with the other teams, uh, you know, in the, right in the throes of, of, uh, you know, sort of getting it done in that last fight. Uh, neither of them come out cleanly on top, and that means it's, uh, it's Atlas's to just take.

01:40:33 Ja, einfach nur für free da. Ich meine, wenn sie sich die Fortschritte sehen, und sie bereits sehen, was, vier Knochs in total da in der Fortschritte? Warum nicht? Even mit der Catwalls auf, da ist nur so viel zu tun, wenn beide deine Teammaten haben bereits geblieben. Ich glaube, das war die Approche Exo war für. Sie wussten, dass sie nicht gewinnen, wenn sie wieder zu kommen, von der Low- und High-Ground kam. Und die nur andere Team, die sie in beiden Fortschritte gesehen haben, war Allianz in der Fall. Also, sie haben sich um Allianz auf die Fortschritte gemacht.

01:41:02 3 results. Atlas, they not only get the dub, but they get it with 10 KP. Huge KP though coming all around, Gino. Yeah, this team has kind of come a little bit out of nowhere. Obviously, they had a good result last week. And, you know, I don't think they would have been anyone's first pick to be walking away in one of those land spots at the end of this split. But they are...

01:41:26 Sie sehen, dass Nessi noch ein paar mehr. Na'vi auch. Aurora, in der nächsten Spiel, haben wir noch einen tollen Spiel gehabt.

01:41:54 Matchday 5.

01:41:57 Another really... Five. Thank you. You're right. Trust yourself. Trust yourself. I should. I should. Okay? You know what you're talking about. But another really fun match there, Atlas. A team that's kind of popped off quite a few times now in the first half of our split so far. But once again, we're seeing Alliance in a top spot on a day where they really need to...

01:42:26 So far, World's Edge proving to be very interesting for our squads, which means we're done with this map. Time to switch on over to the next. And before we do that, it's time for us to do a little bit of a recap as well as bring in a special interview guest because we have JMW from Passion ready to join us and hang out. First of all, how are you? Thank you so much for joining. Hey, guys. I appreciate you guys having me on. I'm doing good. Thank you. And yeah.

01:42:55 All right, we are excited to chat. And we talked about it a little bit on yesterday's show. But for anybody who doesn't know, and also just to kind of get your thoughts on it, tell us a little bit about that recent roster swap.

01:43:07 So, hey guys, I'm JMW. You've probably heard a lot more about through EMEA. Kind of a core player. Recently, I decided to, well, I got us to join Passion. And I took up on this offer because, one, they're showing a lot of potential right now. And two, I feel like I can fit their squad pretty well. Recently, it's been a lot to take in because I've...

01:43:35 Ich habe nur noch nicht nur in der Arbeit gearbeitet. Aber wir haben in die Praxis, in die Arbeit, und es wird offensichtlich. Wir haben Feeder und Zero and Nothing auf dem Team. Ich denke, Feeder ist ein sehr unterrateder Spieler. Er ist ein MNK. Er hat sehr gut Mechanics, sehr gut Coms, und er hat viel Potenzial zu zeigen. Zero and Nothing hat viel Arbeit in IGLing und auch seine Mechanics auf MNK.

01:44:02 So, yeah.

Analyse der POI-Drafts und Spielstrategien

01:44:27

01:44:27 I really like your mindset, the way that you're actually approaching this, you know, just knowing that you guys have found that breakthrough and finding out the adjustments you have to make. I mean, with that preparation and now you being slotted in here with a phenomenal team, I agree. I think 0-0 is a great player, IGL. What is your approach now with these POI drafts? How has that affected you with you now coming into the roster? What are your thoughts with the way that they have been able to now approach that as a team?

01:44:54 Ich denke, die P.O.I. Draft ist ein sehr guter System für uns, weil wir sehr gut an adaptieren zu all den P.O.I.'s. Ich denke, 0-0 ist sehr smart genug, um zu verstehen, was er hat für alle Zones von P.O.I. Und mir und Fudo, all wir haben zu tun ist, zu hören zu ihm, vielleicht geben ein paar Suggestions, damit sein Gehirn starten, und wir werden in guten Spots in kein Zeitpunkt. Aber ich denke...

01:45:23 Es ist auch ein sehr guter System für uns, weil wir nicht mehr haben, dass wir die Teams nicht mehr haben. Wir müssen das Risiko für ein guter POI nehmen. Ja, es kann wirklich sehr schwer sein, wenn die Teams nicht mehr in diese POI sind, es fühlt sich für Jahre alt.

01:45:51 Ja. All right, look, I want to take you through some of the final circles that we had so far in this series, JMW. I know you've been following along here, so we're just going to get your thoughts on some of these and how they played out. This one from Alliance, you know, they took over Godspot from, I think it was ANC, outplayed, and then a nice catwall kind of got them to the end spot here.

01:46:17 Ja, ich denke, es war eine großartige Entscheidung von Hackes. Er wusste die Position der Godspot von OP, wo sie spielen. Er wusste sie, die Blue Armour haben. Sie haben sehr voll Abantage in Loot-Wise. Sie haben drei sehr starken Spieler, die die Kampf zu machen. Sie nehmen es leicht. Sie wissen, sie haben eine sehr gute Position. Sie wissen, DMS ist auf der anderen Seite, die auch in eine sehr gute Position ist. Sie beide Kontrollen auf jeden Seite der Zone. DMS Killing bleibt gesund und dass Nessi nicht so weit kommt.

01:46:46 und Allianz dann auch auf Nessie zu kontrollieren und sie zonen sie weg. So, sie haben eine sehr gute Arbeit gemacht.

01:46:54 All right, now in Match 2 here, we had one of the easier ones from Ninjas in Pyjamas. You can see everyone else was just trying to get out of that one building, and then Nip just kind of looting it above them. You know, was it really that easy? Was there a chance for any of these teams on the lower ground here to actually take it away from Nip?

01:47:16 Nicht wirklich. Nip kam in von Countdown, sie hatten die ganze Raum, die Raven-Kontrolle, sie hatten die High-Ground und Zip. All sie mussten fokussieren, die nicht auf die E-Vaxe landen, und fokussieren auf die Firing-Range, die ganze Lobby, von all above. Und kam in ein einfaches, einfaches Win für sie. So, sie haben eine sehr gute Arbeit.

01:47:36 Firing Rage, das einfach. Alright, wenn wir zu Match 3 gehen, der interessant ist für mich ist, dass Exo die High-Ground gegen Allianz ist. Talk mir über das. Well, sie hat die Horizont nicht gesehen, aber sie hat die Horizont nicht gesehen, aber sie hat die Allianz aufgehört.

01:48:00 Aber Allianz reagiert gut zu das. Sie waren bereit für das. Sie haben wahrscheinlich gedacht, dass sie eine Ryzen auf die Lowground haben. Sie haben die Höhe, sie auf die Höhe, sie auf die Höhe und die Effekt bleibt. Sehr gut von ihm. Exo hat das vielleicht etwas schlecht gemacht, in der Focusing auf die Legends sie brauchen. Aber Atlus hat ein sehr gut von Lowground gemacht. Sie hat die E-Vac-Player zu bekommen.

01:48:26 Ja, das war's.

01:48:41 So it's still a very close series here so far. A couple of these squads on the second half of the leaderboard need to do a little bit more now that we switch on over to Stormport to kind of pick up their performance. But JMW, thank you so much for bringing down those final circles, for hanging out with us and chatting and giving us a little bit of insight and everything that's going on for you in Split 2. Best of luck and hopefully we'll get to chat with you soon. I appreciate it, guys. It was much pleasure speaking to you guys. Also doing a very good job to keep it up.

01:49:11 Thank you. Thank you. We'll see you soon. Alright.

Storm Point: Strategische Bedeutung und POI-Prioritäten

01:49:18

01:49:18 Alright, it is time for us to switch our focus. We've wrapped up World's Edge, which means that things could potentially change for a variety of reasons. We've seen how those POI draft picks can change, whether they prioritize World's Edge or Storm Point. Now it's Storm Point time, which also means it's time to say goodbye to Genome. You go take your rest. Vicky and I are going to start driving this ship. Are you ready to get into Storm Point, Vicky? Things have been really spicy on Storm Point lately.

01:49:47 I know, I love it. I actually can't wait to see what is in store for us, especially when it comes to zone pools. I know I said that for World's Edge, but Stormpoint's always been the really wacky one where we sometimes have a little bit more diversity, but depends on what side of the map that we're going to be moving on to. As we take a look at the map schedule too, to see their final three games once again will be on Stormpoint, as it is usually in tradition here for Pro League. But it also highlights the teams that wanted to prioritize their POI.

01:50:16 Ja, so, und das, eigentlich, wenn wir das Schädel und sehen, dass

01:50:24 Atlas war das Team der letzte Spiel. Sie haben auch ihre erste Pick hier in Stormpoint. Sie sehen, die zweite Pick haben, die Lightning Rod wählen. So, wie du sagst, wie du sagst, wo diese Pick liegen in der Draft-Situation sind, waren die Banken auf die bessere Spiel auf Stormpoint zu haben. Und wenn sie einfach nur eine Win-Win haben, vielleicht Atlas ist jemand, dass sie sich immer wieder aufhören.

01:50:49 I 100% agree. I mean, the fact that they were able to get the priority seed, second pick, I believe, for Lightning Raw, I mean, that comes in clutch for a team that's also sitting in second place overall after those first three games. I'm curious to see for Alliance, honestly, as we go through the rest phase, obviously landing over by Pylon. Go next now, going over to the Mill. Seeing on the other side here, Aurora choose Barometer South. I believe yesterday we saw them land in Cenote, if I recall correctly. So, Aurora landing.

01:51:19 Wir sehen uns auch hier bei Barometer South. Wir werden die gleiche Rotate geben, auf wo die Circles sind. Wir sehen uns all den Weg zu Navi, Free Aging Kids hier, auf die Trident. Ein weiteres Positionen ist, wenn man die Seed-Pick von Priorität auf den Swarm-Point hat. Aber in diesem Fall, das ist der Fall für Trident, wo man ganz genau wo man geht, und dann sofort die Lütte. Wir haben gesagt, wie Trident es geht.

01:51:46 Und dann, als wir gesagt haben, es war vielleicht die 2nd match auf Stormpoint, die Zone, direkt auf Triton aufzunehmen. So, du wirst nicht wissen. Obviamente, da gibt es die Lübe, aber manchmal die Zone funktioniert in deinem Favoren. Und dann, du hast du das best du kannst mit der Situation, die du hast. Es wird interessant, was wir enden mit. Wie du sagst, haben wir schon schon gesehen. Wir sehen uns schon schon schon schon in Worlds.

01:52:15 Storm Point could be just as fun.

01:52:19 I love how you brought up how we saw a circle like that, because we actually have been seeing a pretty frequent circles pull in that direction towards that Trident dome buildings here on the outskirts of North Pad, which could benefit the lights of not just Free Agents, but also Alliance, who lands over by North Pad as we get this lovely flyby. Devastated coast just left devastatively empty, but don't worry, Nine Lives will be able to start rotating in that direction as we waste no time. Dropships have exited the building, and we are getting started here on our first game on Storm Point.

01:52:48 All right, and obviously we mentioned it a few times. Atlas was the squad that won the last game on World's Edge. Now we get a chance to see everybody landing and starting their journey. I did notice that Go Next was at The Mill, one of the better POIs to drop here on Stormpoint, and Aurora, a team that you yourself called out at the beginning of the day, Vicky, as a squad that we know can achieve really great things. We're just going a little...

01:53:17 Wait, wait, what are they cooking up right now? With Navi being right there, kinda isolated, just slightly, as Matafi just starts to approach from the middle, he hears him looting, the pings are coming out, he was walking at first, but he's revealed where he is, as he sees him trying to fly by the trident, trying to see if he can get a shot in, but it's already too late, kinda made way too much noise, and now looking on the other side of the rest of Navi, now knowing that they are separated.

01:53:47 Not only are Aurora and Navi in a bit of a pickle right now, but Tafe going down. Navi already down to a duo. Are they going to be able to try and clean this up? We do get Oirain down, so things are pretty even until they're not.

01:54:06 As Navi continues, we also need to notice that Eternal was trying to do some distance damage as well, trying to see if they could maybe spoil a bit or third party a little bit of this. One on Aurora does escape, so we still have our 20 teams. And after what we saw Aurora do in match two, are we shocked that Hardeki is getting these res? No, not at all. Going to bring the squad back in and they'll get a reset.

Taktische Manöver und Zonenkontrolle auf Storm Point

01:54:27

01:54:27 Das ist so schnell. Er hat die Rez. Das ist was wir hier. Aber es ist Rezes von beiden Seiten zu der besten Degree für Navi, als sie auch able zu bekommen haben. Cybercats, wir haben gesagt, die Pokes being taken von der Distanz. Jetzt Cybercats zeigen, wie wir hier sehen. Wir sehen, wie dieses Circle ist. Wir sehen, wie dieses Circle ist. Das ist eigentlich, wie sie mit der Repositionen über das No-Name-POI, wo es ein Survey Beacon ist.

01:54:56 und ein Evil Harvester. Und dann können sie versuchen, ein Roundabout Rotate, wenn sie wollen, wenn sie weitergehen. Wir können so viele Teams sehen, Apex Warlords, Outplayed. Wir wissen, dass die Allianz die Zeit, so dass sie ihre Zeit, so dass sie ihre Pfanne ist, Prioritzen, Evil Harvesters. Diese Quads, die jetzt Rotate durch die Edge der Circle, all die zu der Northeast, ist Outplayed. Also, take care of Free Agent Kids. Apparently, sie einfach einfach ran into, und...

01:55:22 We mentioned right at the beginning of this game, the fact that Atlas got the priority pick that they wanted in Lightning Rod. This zone shifted right towards Lightning Rod. Atlas is going to be right there in a prime position to try and grab any one of the potential god spots depending on where the next shifts go. So this could be a really big game for some of these squads. We see Nip on that balloon getting a little bit of a reposition here and seeing where they can get themselves in early. And we also saw a similar zone like this in NA yesterday. And one of the things that team...

01:55:51 Die Falcons haben wirklich gut gemacht, was die Southern Choke zu halten. Und so, dass die Teams in der Southern Choke getrennt können, mit viel Kp. Und was wir sehen so far aus EMEA ist, dass diese Early-Mid-Games-Fights, die wir sehen, dass diese Teams tatsächlich in spadespielen können, wenn sie ihre Engagements gewinnen können.

01:56:10 Das ist ein guter Punkt. Ich liebe es, dass du das Thema gesagt hast, viele Teams aus dem Süd-East-Side, vielleicht sogar in der Mitte, zu versuchen, auf das Right Choke zu machen, weil es dann auch eine Servic Beacon gibt, eine Ring-Console oder eine Evil-Harvester gibt, die Teams wollen. Also, das Thema Choke bedeutet, dass du die Teams in den Süd-East-Schocken kannst, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther-Schocken zu stecken, um das Souther

01:56:36 Das ist eine Priorität Position für sie. Ich meine, Leute sind wirklich klaiming eine solid Real Estate jetzt.

01:57:05 ... ... ... ... ...

01:57:26 Aber mit der Trident, sie werden ihre Rotate erstellen. Jetzt gehen sie durch Cascade Falls, während Goneck noch immer wiederholfen. Aber mit Atherton, sie werden ihre Rotate wiederholfen, die ich vorhin schon erwähnt, wie wir uns vorhin erwähnen können. Wir können das von Aurora auswählen, mehr von diesen Teams spielen bei der Edge, die die Final-Circle-Positionen, besonders in einer Final-Circle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle-Kircle.

01:57:52 Ja, das wird interessant sein. Ich denke, es wird ein bisschen Unforgiving sein, wie das Aggressiv Skyhook-Schiff war für diese Teams auf unserer Welt's Edge-Match. Aber das ist das Choke-Area, das wir beide gesprochen haben. Wir werden sehen, welche Teams sind zu bunker in da. Wir sahen Phase in der Nähe, Rolling Teams ist da, Exo ist da. So, sie werden definitiv sicher sicher sein, dass sie vielleicht starten zu kämpfen. Meanwhile, Cybercats...

01:58:21 auf einem viel mehr normalen Wettbewerb, als wir die Storm Point haben, wie wir sie heute sehen, als auch. Sie gehen ihren Weg in, versuchen ein bisschen mehr Platz zu finden. Sie gehen jetzt in der General-Vicinität, so Sie können sie versuchen, den besten Weg zu gehen.

01:58:42 Trying to look around here, too, before committing to the rotate. See the scans coming in from Cleve. Luckily for Cybercats, there is nobody on this southern rotate. All the teams have already found their space in that northern side by Lightning Rod, already exited out of Stormcatcher. They see that somebody just scanned them with a Survey Deacon in the distance. That's probably Go Next, and I've not left that building, too, by the way, that we saw them earlier when they were taking some shots at Outplayed.

01:59:08 Aber mit dem Roundabout-Rotate von CyberCast werden sie nicht mehr in den Kampfjahren werden, ich expect. Unless Gonext sich um, um, durch Stormcatcher zu gehen. Viele andere Teams, wie Aurora und Nami, haben wir gesehen, dass das erste Fight-Glitter verlangt. Ja, Gonext ist definitiv, zu sehen, ob sie das Ring-Console informiert haben, als alles begann. Wir haben gesagt, die Base-Clan sind in der Choke. Sie sind jetzt gegen Rollen-Teams.

01:59:32 A little bit of back and forth as squads start to move in a little bit closer to that potential final circle. Nags does go down. It's all up to Arctic and Synetic to try and close this one up. Synetic was one and he now drops next. Can Arctic close this out? That Catwall potentially coming down, providing some vision blocking here as Arctic decides to back away and see if he can maybe recover for the squad.

01:59:52 Oh, that's so unfortunate. You saw how low he was originally here, too, but decides to call it and move all the way back, noticing that he is just in a really bad position no matter what, as rolling teams now take control not only of that fight versus FaZe, but also of the edge of that southern choke that you mentioned earlier.

02:00:15 Es wird ein grosses Positionierung für Rollen-Teams gesehen werden. Wir sehen viele Squats, Nip speziell eine von ihnen, die auf die Eastern-Edge haben, versucht, einige von den Gebäuden zu sehen, die wir von L.G. gewinnen haben. So viele diese Teams versuchen, zu herausfinden.

02:00:34 wie das Schiff ist, und sich in der besten Spot für Nippen haben eine wirklich sehr gute Leistung auf den Tag hier so far, aber auf Blue Shield. So, ideally, wenn sie etwas zu tun haben, um die Schiff zu tun, um die Schiff noch ein bisschen zu tun, dann wird sie ein bisschen mehr komfortabel.

02:00:49 Das happens when you rotate quickly, too. You know, you're denying yourself even more Evil Harvester. You're just going to rely on trying to poke more teams from a distance. That's why you see them holding split positioning. What we didn't see earlier, actually, was in Command Center, there was an evac tower called in from Eternal, and they have now found space in that southern building right next to Lightning Rod. So now they're going to probably be able to hold the high ground, contest that with Trojan, while more of these squads like Aurora, like Navi, Cybercats outplayed that are still kind of in the hybrid section between the edge of the circle.

02:01:19 und versuchen zu contesten, Kneecap, die vielleicht behalten, die Highground haben. Allianz jetzt endlich zeigen, nachdem sie sich auswählen, nachdem sie auswählen, nach Nordpatt, durch Wallen und durch Zoo Station.

02:01:42 Sie werden für eine gute Zeit bleiben. Sie werden noch ein bisschen weiter gehen. Aber wirklich, wirklich smart choice hier auf der Allianz. Und Sie sehen, auf der Minimap ist, dass sie die Informationen für die nächsten Ring haben, so sie wissen, wo sie zu gehen müssen.

02:01:58 Und du hast auch die Aurora gesagt. Sie haben einfach nicht zu sterben. Sie sind noch immer noch alive. Sie haben ein paar Evo Harvesters geholfen. Sie haben eine Ring-Konsole geholfen, so sie wissen, wo sie gehen. Und ich glaube, sie werden durch die Kommand-Center komplett alleine gehen. Und vielleicht können sie es in dieser nächsten Cirkel kommen. So eine Impressive-Survivalität auf dem Namen. Als wir einen Top-Down-Viehen haben, haben wir 9 Lies in der Nähe.

02:02:21 And they, I mean, Alliance also are running that Pathy. I know that Onset is having a ball after seeing another Pathy coming through in Pro League. It works when it comes to these rotates. Something is cooking. And I wonder how these Legend compositions are going to shape up in the future, especially with Catalyst Wall being there to prevent the scans from all the Bloodhounds that we know are going to be in the lobby, scanning the ring consoles on top of that, which is something that Pathfinder could do on top of Fuse. That's why we're seeing so many of these different shoe-ins.

02:02:50 der 3rd Legend Composition, aside von der typischen Bloodhound und Bangalore.

Kämpfe, Strategien und das Finale auf Storm Point

02:03:17

02:03:17 Oof, was ein clean fight. Das ist das, was ihr möchtet sehen hier für GoNext. Still 19 squads left, während Navi nicht hatten die besten Zeiten. Jetzt haben sie zu versuchen, wie ein Solo zu gehen, als die Fighting weitergeht in den Nord-East-Bilden. Wir sahen Ninja in Pajamas auf den Outskirts hier, aber jetzt ist es Stay Healthy vs Exo. Und ich glaube, ein 3er squall, das vielleicht zu ihrem Nord.

02:03:44 Everyone trying to decide when the best time to go is. Aurora have somehow snuck in, hit every possible Evo Harvester along their road to recovery after a really rough start in the beginning of the match. We've got Hardecki on red, everybody else on purples, and at least loot it up.

02:04:06 Because they just were untouched on that late rotate. And then somehow found building space as well. And were unpunished for it. So Aurora is back from the dead. They look very, very happy with this position. That lifeline drop coming in as well. I mean, this is huge. Especially going to be able to guarantee that gold. Since you already have that purple perk activated. Cybercats now have rotated from underneath rolling teams.

02:04:35 Obviamente, jetzt mit dem Norden, die DMS ist in so eine gute Position für die Final-Circle. Aber während die Cybercats mit den Kossack-Traps sind, dass sie nicht mehr versuchen, sie zu den Kossack-Traps zu versuchen. Und Exel, zu versuchen, sie zu schießen. Aber sie sehen, wie die NEMESIS-Shots, Havoc-Shots, die Fuse-Knuckle-Cluster von irgendwoher in der Distanz. So viele Augen auf dieser Spot, die Stay Healthy ist auf.

02:05:00 This is a massive fight here. Atlas was that squad we talked about that should have had an opportunity or definitely did have the opportunity. We're in a really solid position to move in based off of their drop and Exoclan are just not allowing them to maintain this space. ANC outplayed down in the kill feed as well as players are starting to drop life flies because now the people know that this ring is about to shift. They have to clear out space and everyone tried to be in the same area.

02:05:25 A play get eliminated here now, too, as Atlas are still holding on to their dreams. Solo playing by the bins over on the outskirts of the building. While Eternal have not left from this high ground, as they should, they still are looking at Trojan that also are sharing the high ground with them. You can see the shots, Bambino falls incredibly low, but he drops down. And there's another team, not only right here, but also the ring is giving them that pressure. They don't worry, they will be able to get that reset for right now. You see the scans noting where these other teams that are on this low ground. But luckily for them in this building, exactly, they have some...

02:05:55 Die Solo auf Navi geht weiter, während all das Chaos ist passiert. Und während die Fights sind passiert, wir sehen eine wirklich, wirklich Solid Evac Tower-Use aus Nine Lives. Atlas aus, Exoclan aus. All diese Teams auf der Eastern-Edge haben zu kämpfen, um in den nächsten Ring zu gehen. Und sie sind jetzt absolut zu sterben.

02:06:14 ...punishment of having to make that move. You see Nip trying to move in early and avoid a lot of that chaos. They go back towards the choke that rolling teams have been holding this entire time and opt to take this fight instead. Now playing off the high ground here this time around, but again, it is those blue evil shields that ninjas are working with.

02:06:30 Sending over the Arc Stars, though. Can we get another play here from Natsuki? Huge nades now this time coming in from Amphi. Who says they need a fuse here on this team? They could just be the fuse themselves instead with the onslaught of nades that they are yeeting in their direction. But now trying to climb up. Zane gets called out as he tries to climb to meet up with the rest of his team. This is just a getaway from Jail Card for free for Cybercats. Now they want to capitalize sending out their own Arc Stars as Ranch just tries to take an off angle.

02:06:58 This was a massive third party on behalf of Cybercash. They saw the fight going down between Rolling Teams and Nip and were able to sandwich not only Rolling Teams, but then utilize the damage that Rolling Teams had done onto Nip, push up and try to take this position off of them. They do lose Alunzi, but should be able to stick this res as nobody else is in the general vicinity. And Cybercash will have a nice reset in this corner, as well as all of these loot boxes at their disposal.

02:07:22 I'm just appalled that cats were able to win that fight being on the low ground disadvantage and after losing out on all their shields like that was actually a crazy reset from cyber cats ninjas know that they are absolutely wondering what went wrong here as the circle closes in and kneecap try to contest all the other squads that are now funneling in the direction of where this next circle is pulling

02:07:45 Und ihr könnt sehen, dass sie alle müssen, und es gibt mindestens vier anderen Teams in diesem Bereich. Kneecap wird, was sie können, um K.P. auf den Push-In zu bekommen. Sie verlieren einen. Es ist nur Funk. Und einen! Kneecap ist weg, nicht zu überleben, all diese anderen Teams. Du hast Gonext in da, du hast Aurora in da, und Gonext ist jetzt weg. Aurora wird bald folgen. Niemand kann überleben dieses Final Push-In.

02:08:09 Oh no, back to the lobby we go though, DMS still alive, look at those evil shields here putting on so much pressure as they also clean up Alliance and Knuckle Cluster being the nail in the coffin for Haki's Trojan now also trying to fight their way over from the right side or rather the left side coming in from Lightning Rod

02:08:27 Just trying to be able to play this out. Apex Warlords get eliminated. Now can they get the reset? They got less than a minute on the clock. They absolutely can. And noting that Nine Lies are not even going to contest them and leave that exact spot. Because they're looking at two different teams at the same time. While still trying to make sure that they can edge their way into the circle. That was a really strong push on behalf of Trojan. But Stay Healthy is the only team that looks like they're in a safe space with any cover for this final rank. So let's jump into a listen-in and see how they want to handle this situation.

02:08:56 We just can't get run from left. Left is looking right, left is looking right. We're still good here, like here. Sort of. How many KP? Two. One. I got none. Three. Okay. As soon as that fuse queue is gone, go back. Yep, I've got 72% on all, by the way. I'm not going to have it.

02:09:25 Someone's evacuating. Ja, wir können wir uns aufhören. Smuggler, smuggler. Ihr seid für mich in dieser Korn? Ihr müsst euch in der Korn. Ja, ich bin seltsam.

02:09:39 We have to just make sure left doesn't come to us. Yeah, just chill then. I think left is trying to fight. I think left is going to try to fight us maybe. Do you think this guy's rising 3D in this 3D in the right? 80, 80 on left, 80 on left. I think we need to stay here. Look at the spot I'm in. The spot I'm in is really fucking good. No one can shoot you. I'm coming to you, coming to you, coming to you.

02:10:01 Looking to the left, looking to the right right now. Stay healthy. Try to know if the fight's happening in front of them, but they have full blue Evos, which is going to be at risk for this very end of the game. DMS come out on top of another team fight win and now are looking at stay healthy while Cybercats have their eyes on Nine Lies. Yeah, this is huge. Nine Lies trying to move into some sort of safety. Cybercats are eliminated. Nine Lies handling themselves very well in the center of the zone, but like you said, DMS all...

02:10:29 We're on Red Shields right now and looking the way of Nine Lies as a duo that could be scary for Nine Lies. Meanwhile, stay healthy. The only team that's been able to maintain that eastern edge for cover will also have the slightly slower side of the zone when they start to have to move in. So this might be their match, but like you mentioned, those Blue Shields are painful.

02:10:49 I'm just gonna say that Knuckle Cluster is going to have a feel day on these Blue Evos. We gotta see as the circle does collapse in the next 30 seconds right now. But we know how Lethal Fuse is, especially in the endgame. Although it doesn't look like he had that mother load ready. But let's see as the time passes, three squads left. And Nine Lies playing this out as a duel was able to take out the full trio that was Cybercats earlier. So Nine Lies playing to the terrain very well. You can almost see to stay healthy. No, it might be...

02:11:15 Ich glaube, sie werden nicht aufhören, denn sie sind in der Nähe von 9-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line-Line

02:11:43 9 Lights Pressure. So DMS holding on to the high ground for right now. The Motherlode is ready, by the way. They're calling in a Moby for some extra makeshift cover. You see that they got the crack originally. This is the team that they have to worry about, even if they're a duel. It's because they have more health. They take them out just as quickly, and now they can take their time in taking care of. Stay healthy. The full three men with blue Evos.

02:12:04 DMS hat nicht nur ein Wunsch von Nine Lies gemacht. Das ist ein sehr schnelles Spiel. Sie wissen, dass sie die Vorteile haben. Sie sehen, dass sie das 1.1 ist. Und es ist Zeit für DMS zu machen. Sie pushen die Rock. Die Fuse ist wie möglich. Aber sie verlieren Taskmaster. Es ist zu 2. Die Height ist massive.

02:12:31 Vicky, in the end of the day, it was all about the shield advantage. No matter how well Stay Healthy played that, the additional leeway that they had on behalf of DMS because of those red shields made it that easy for them to close out. Yeah, honestly, what also helped out there...

02:12:50 Ich glaube, es ist für Stay Healthy. Ich habe die Plan, die Execution, aber es ist noch nicht so, dass Sie auf eine Disadvantage sind. Sie waren auf die Fuse und die Knuckle Cluster Pressure haben, die sich für Stay Healthy war.

02:13:19 Ja, das war eine schwierige Frage. Und wie du gesagt, sie haben es wirklich gut, weil wir sehen, wie viele andere Teams haben.

02:13:33 ...were lost along the way. Nip moved up to try and take that fight in the choke, which actually went well for them if it weren't for Cybercats to come through with the pinch and then the third party. There were so many others. I mean, credit to Nine Lies as well, too. They survived for a really long time as a duo took out Cybercats when they tried to make that cross somewhere closer into the next circle. So there were lots of things that a lot of these teams did well in that final situation.

02:13:55 Even DMS keeping their cool and fighting teams like Alliance on their way to that circle. I already know that they got that dub with so much KP. Why don't we actually take a look at the match results to see exactly how much DMS did. Alright, leave some for the rest of us. DMS coming in with 15 KP. You love to see double digit KP glitter when you come in first place. That is a massive

02:14:23 für DMS, besonders wenn man sich um, dass, wenn ich nicht verstanden, dass sie es in Beest gebrochen hat, so sie hatten zu gehen von einer Seite zu der anderen Seite in der Richtung zu haben, und definitiv gefunden haben einige Fights along die Weg, die KP spreaden zwischen Nine Lines, Cybercats, Trudge und alle in der Mitte. Und als wir sehen uns die zweite Seite, nicht so viel zu tun, weil, wie du sagst, DMS spunkte alles für sich selbst.

02:14:51 Ja, ich meine, eben auf der Rotate, sie kind of endet auf Taxing, nach der Allianz, auf der Rotate, von der Norden Seite des Storm Point. Und sie konnten so viele Teams, die wollten die Rotate von Lightning Roden. Kneecap going down, aber mit 1 KP. Es ist immer schön, dass sie Ninjas in Pajamas sind. Wir sehen, was passiert. Die Action von der Right Choke, das würde leden zu, wo das Circle war. Unfortunately, sie konnten die KP in der Position, aber sie konnten nicht mehr in die Position, aber sie konnten nicht mehr in die Team.

02:15:18 We'll take a look at the DMS team stats here, the individual players, 8 kills on Deprestus for almost 2k damage, just shy of 1900, but everybody insanely high with their damage, which is no surprise if you end up with 15 kills, but I mean, talk about a banger of a match, first match on Stormpoint, that's just, that's impressive.

02:15:38 You know what I also really like about running the fuse here in this situation and looking at the different legend comps that we see in the lobby is with the amount of catalysts being present here that mother load could also just go such a long way and not only controlling space alongside those knuckle clusters but also being able to provide what the blood on can't do through those cat walls which is getting that scan so at least having them stuck together in that gigantic mother load UAV is always nice to see as now we take a look at the series results and they are leading the way with 58 total points.

02:16:06 Ich meine, es ist nicht überraschend, nach einem gewinnen mit so vielen Kills. So, sie werden es für jetzt halten. Will sie werden das in den letzten zwei Matches werden? Wir werden sehen. Aber das Gap zu werden, das ist definitiv sehr hilfreich. Wir haben die Allianz da, wir haben die Atlus da. Nip ist mit Stay Healthy und wir sehen, wie well Stay Healthy ist. Das ist wirklich...

02:16:27 Battle Beaver is the official controller partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

02:18:31 Welcome back, everybody. We got two more games to go. I got Genome welcoming me back out here. Game number four in the books, the first game on Storm Point Genome, where we saw DMS with another consistent finish, but this time ending it up with a dub. Yeah, they played this end zone pretty well, huh?

02:18:50 Managing to wrangle the other teams, especially the other team with all the red armors, that was the real threat, because as we saw in the end, even though their opponents played this quite well, blue armors, 150 difference in Evo there is just too big an obstacle to overcome.

02:19:13 I mean, even with the Focus Fire swinging together, you still have somebody else from DM. It was rather close. They still did a good amount of damage. But still, it was that health differential that ends up allowing DMS to stay on top. Again, we have our final two games left to go in EMEA as we will conclude it onto Storm Point. But match number five on Storm Point, after seeing the rotate that DMS had to take, always exciting to see.

02:19:38 Yeah, it's been an awesome day from them. And yeah, I mean, you know, as we go here in Stormpoint, they've got Down Beast. Can they continue to capitalize from that POI, even if it's across the map like it was there? You know, there's definitely pros and cons about having a zone near you. And we saw that when it comes to the pointy end of things, having those extra Evo harvests picked up along the way.

02:20:04 Ich glaube, es war Stay Healthy. I actually think they could have been more aggressive. Because when you're looking at their ammo counts in that last fight, there was still a little bit left in the chamber. And if they were like 300-400 off those purple Evos, I actually think they should have been a lot more active.

02:20:33 und die Ammo zu den Limiten zu versuchen, das könnte die Unterschiede sein. Ich glaube, ich habe mich gefragt, ob sie mit 9 Lies waren, um DMS zu tun? Ja, sie waren auch auf die Natur-Line-Site, die die Rocks hatten, in der Final-Circle hatten, aber...

02:20:57 Ich weiß nicht, ob es so viel Pressure von Azuz mit der Fuse ist, weil er sich nicht auf die Fuse schaut, aber nicht auf die Fuse ist. Es gibt nur ein paar Knuckle Clusters hier und da. Wenn sie sich nicht auf die Schild Cells haben, dann vielleicht sie sich nicht auf die Fuse fühlen. Aber ich glaube, sie sind sehr nahe zu sehen, dass sie das Purple sind. Manchmal hat sie sich nicht auf die Biscuit, wie wir sehen von Na'Vi bei der Beginn der Start auf Stormpoint.

02:21:24 Ja, das ist ein fairer Call. Das kann ein bisschen ein bisschen ein bisschen in diesen Situationen. Und wir haben einen Blick auf den Polen, die nach und nach hier zwischen Athernal, Aurora, Navi, all in dieser southern part of Storm Point jetzt. Und das ist wo der Circle wird, also. Nicht genau wo sie sind, aber auch in der Southern Hemisphäre.

02:21:53 And that's going to be a very similar circle that we've seen before in the past, wondering if it may pull towards the bridge or that building north of the bridge.

02:22:03 I'm...

02:22:26 Ich würde einfach sagen, es könnte nach Pylon oder Nordpad gehen. Weil wir sehen viele Devastated Coast Zonen, wie du gesagt hast, aber das ist gerade auf der Seite der Circle hier. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob es weit genug ist für das, aber wir hatten... ...eine Zonen haben uns auf uns auf der Toe heute auf World's Edge. Wir sehen, ob das weitergeht in Stormpoint.

02:22:56 So he has Alliance now looking to fully send it on FA Kids. Oh, another game where FA Kids just completely get denied by Alliance here too. I mean, even on these rotate, they just have not had a good time. And Alliance are going to be able to profit off of this with those death boxes. And no other team in the distance, at least for right now, could go in for a third party. So they'll be able to get the free reset while DMS still are rotating away from that reason. Alright.

02:23:22 Alright, I guess the tactical crouching, you just gotta make a statement here for your alliance, but just letting them know what's up. Maybe one of these buttons is just stuck, you know?

02:23:32 You know what? What a coincidence. Now we get to tune in to Cybercats. I know, right? Sometimes it just happens at the worst possible times. Just like when you're showing your face without the smoke and a team is just staring you down and then a third party moves in behind you. That's gonna be go next as Cybercats are in a bit of a rough spot right now. Cashier are no longer on that Crypto. Even though we do see some teams.

02:24:00 Picking up the Korean hacker. In this current day and age, in this current meta, Kashira, one of the most noted pilots of that legend in the past, has opted to go the tried and true bang blood cat here.

02:24:20 It's been interesting to follow Kuchera's story and the way he's had to adapt to a completely different playstyle, but Suni from Atlas is so thankful that they have a lifeline here because they can try to get the reset quickly. Exo heard the res already come out. Slayer's trying to get into a different position here. They know sending out all these Arc Stars, if they really want to take advantage, sending out that...

02:24:40 Black hole would go huge here, but he just slides in because he doesn't have it. He used it earlier on. Here's the end now. He needs some help. He slides in with Kay Swinney. They try to drop down, but then circling right behind them. They got to look to their backs. Exoclan, they'll lose out on two. It's okay. Swinney's got to reload. He's got to hold his guns. No way. Exoclan, get eliminated. Any cap now slide in to reap what Atlas had sowed.

02:25:07 Oh man, Kneecap now with the proper timing on the third party. Now Eliminate Atlas, but talk about a way for a fight to go wrong for Exo. Yeah, way too easy. That said, is that it? Are we done or is Ninjas in pajamas? Gonna make a little rotate here and get involved. You can see they seem to be somewhat ready for it. We've got Piercing Spikes going down to...

02:25:36 ...delay the inevitable onslaught from Nasky and his boys. And obviously a lot of nades were used at the start of that fight. So do kneecap have any in reserve? I doubt they would have found many on the boxes. They managed to get up the stairs without taking much damage. That's impressive by itself.

02:25:55 Oh mein Gott!

02:26:08 Er hat die Havoc, er hat die Blu-Extend-Energie back, aber das ist all er braucht! Der Shield Swap ist nicht genug für Kneecaps! Zayn macht es für Ninjas in Pajamas! Es ist egal, wie viele von euch sind, wenn Zayn ist auf der anderen Seite, ihr müsst immer noch bemerkst. Oh man! Das Stats! Das Split!

02:26:31 von Zayn auf Ninjas in Pajamas haben schon fantastisch, und er wird immer weiter zu pushen. Und das war ein perfekte Beispiel von dem, warum. Du weißt, Natsuki ist so glücklich zu sein mit Zayn mit dem Zayn, nachdem ich hier auch bin. Nein? Nein, nein, Side-by-Side. Aber das ist nicht so, dass er nicht Apex für neige Monate spielt, und er kommt zurück, und in Wochen ist er das?

02:26:58 Ah, ich liebe es, besonders wenn du mit einem Former-Team-Mate kennengelernt bist, dass du bereits wissen, wie sie versuchen, ihre comms zu machen, die wie sie approachen diese Fights sind. All die faith in Zayn hier, als wir zu Eternal-Bambino tuneieren, einer der Pioneers von der Fuse.

02:27:12 Honestly, the only player I feel like that has just not moved away from this fuse whatsoever, even when these legend compositions have shifted away from a pick that could benefit, even in these 50-50s, since we don't have these 50-50s, thanks to the POI drafts, obviously fuse just comes in clutch alongside with the conduit here, but there is no 50-50s here, and Bambino's still stuck with that fuse as we take a look at where the circle's pulling, and Genome, I'm looking at that bridge though, FaZe Clan Trojan and so-

02:27:41 is stay healthy already on the outskirts of where the circle could potentially be pulling.

02:27:46 Yeah, you might be on the money this time. The other circles we had were like a little bit below the bridge, but I mean, yeah, you said the bridge, right? So yeah, look, we'll just have to see, I guess. It's definitely pulling in that direction. Apex Warlords, you know, maybe they were hoping for that launchpad zone or perhaps they were just holding to gatekeep some other teams in, but certainly you can see the majority of teams are predicting that's more southern zone and they

02:28:16 They just skirt the bottom of that circle. We have seen the circle pull towards those houses. I believe it's one of the hilltops that rolling teams could be holding. In a very similar fashion, I believe it was Alliance, that one game during day number one, that had been able to clutch out a win there. Having to think back on it though, because we have seen a circle like this pull all the way south of that bridge on the outskirts of where a lot of the teams have to funnel out of. It seems like Aurora.

02:28:44 Taking the time, they got Red Evo, Blue Evo, Purple, rockin' all colors out here, but with the Evo Harvester 9 Impulse should be up to date, alongside Oi Rain, there you go, and they're also gonna be able to scan that Survey Beacon. Yep, representing with the Rainbow here, but going into Barometer I think should boost, yeah, you can see he's already been able to pick up that Evo Harvester and move 9 Impulse to Purple as well, and Survey Beacon will make it even closer for the others.

02:29:11 After, I believe, they would have dropped the old gift-wrapped package there to get the lifeline player onto red.

02:29:21 Es ist ein schönes Gift hier zu machen, dass Harddecke hat das Goldknock hier, auch, als sie immer ihre Zeit haben, zu Prioritieren, die Evil Harvesters in einem sehr ähnliches gesehen haben, wie wir von Allianz haben. Hockey ist immer noch auf die Pathie, als es funktioniert für sie, in die Rotate. Aber Sie können auch sehen, mit der Ping, dass sie gerade behind, ich glaube, es war Ninjas in Pajamas. Und da ist ein Evil Harvester auf diese Pathie hier, auch. Also, all die extra Informationen, dass Allianz funktioniert.

02:29:48 Alliance going to be coming in from the prowler nest they're a little bit behind nib why don't we listen what they're thinking on this rotate

02:30:16 Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite. Ich bin auf der anderen Seite.

02:30:41 We can maybe, how far did we get with evac from here? It's not great. No, we don't reach anywhere. We're just playing edge here. Let's try and get the AP edge. We can walk in on the fucking fingers later on. Yep. So we won't see it 24 seconds ago. Yeah, you probably just walked off the couch.

02:31:04 20, 20, 20, 20.

02:31:34 We can't really get to the building though, it's fucking... Yeah, it's pointless to fight, it's pointless to fight now. Let's go back around, let's go back around. Yeah, maybe. Just watch me. Yeah, I'm gonna grapple. I'm gonna grapple for you.

02:31:58 Alliance get a chance to take out DMS there you can see calling out the footprints not a comm you hear that often that passive for Bloodhound coming in and being useful but it does give them that just lick of awareness to be looking out and then they they catch Taskmaster off at the replicator but unfortunately the shots don't hit or that could have turned around very quickly for Alliance there Vicky

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Zonenrotationen in den späteren Runden

02:32:23

02:32:23 Ja, es ist nett, dass Tazmeister auf den Bangalore war, also das Double Time kam in Clutch da, so dass er so weit kann, dass er so weit weg von all die Gunshots ist. Als wir schauen, Nine Lies mit Full Blue Evo, mit Beasts of the Hunt zu versuchen, denn jetzt, Round 3 ist hier in weniger als 5 Sekunden. Sie haben das Spiel in der Mitte, denn sie spielen auf der Cercle, oder Cybercats ist für sie. Oh, Hemlock Shots von Close-Range, wir locken das auf, für Nine Lies.

02:32:51 Und dieses Spot, das sie versuchen hier zu spielen, ist nicht gut für das lange lange. Mit der Circle geschlossen, sie haben über eine Minute zu tun, wie sie nach Cybercats sind. Sie sehen, Sie sind sehr keen, auf halten sie aus. Die Late Rotation von Allianz hier in Launchpad wird nur für die nächste Zone gehalten. Und dann wird es wieder eine Marche aufhill, als auch, gegen Teams wie Ninjas in Pajas.

02:33:22 Oh man, and they don't even know where the circle is pulling. It's pulling south towards the south side of the bridge out in the open by that water where Niff is actually in a pretty good position right by the middle between go next and stay healthy, but having to look in two different directions because they're still in the line of sight of multiple teams in the area.

02:33:41 Yeah, so it does end up being a hard pull and heading south in the similar position to the other Devastated Coast zones that we have seen so far. Trust the data, I guess, is the lesson that we learned this time. But Eternal, whether they predicted that or not, have the longest to go out of anybody in this lobby right now in order to make it to that spot, to those buildings on the north side of Devastated Coast.

02:34:10 DMS get taken out here too in the fleet in the middle of this. Rotate now. As Alliance still try to take that fight that they were playing by Launchpad. Take care of that team completely as 12 spots are left. Eternal now coming in from that choke. Looking at Apex Warlords that are now sandwiched in between Eternal and Alliance. Not too sure how Apex Warlords could really navigate around this. Although then maybe a Catwalk if they even have that available to them. See Alliance is backing away in time as now Eternal try to completely capitalize off of that duo.

02:34:42 Okay, they've got Apex Warlords in their sight, and there we go. The last two members are eliminated. And Athernalon Alliance kind of back away after that. Not necessarily interested in getting into a fight right now when they really need to be thinking about their next rotation. They'd rather get there with a full trio rather than maybe, you know, some KP and limping in. Oh.

02:35:08 Okay. For free? I guess with the open building, that's what it provides though because you still have the walls around you to at least try to protect you unless the team is looking at you from up height. And go next, just get that res now, get two of the teammates back up as Stay Healthy are trying to shift their focus not only to ninjas but also to Aurora and FaZe who are by that bridge.

02:35:36 So Cybercats, after securing their southern edge of the zone, are just trying to walk it forward here with the gas grenade. Alonzi, the one of course who wants to be getting in there, but unfortunately bullets rip through them from the north side.

02:35:56 Oh man, helping out Navi in the process with the Circle closing in. There's only so much Khalif with the Koram of Health can do. He gets the quick shield swap here and Navi still with the box to the right are keeping themselves safe from the team shooting at Cybercats from the bridge area. They finally get eliminated, but I do believe I saw Natsuki's name somewhere up in that kill feed to actually put in some extra pressure there too.

02:36:22 Always looking to skill a kill away or two. That's how they're helping themselves to stay on top of this lobby or at least near it. Fourth there, as you can see. Wow, Alliance actually have opened up quite a lead there over Ninjas in Pajamas.

02:36:41 Ich habe nicht erwartet, aber es ist, dass die Stats nicht lief. So Trojan hier ist, in der 5e Spot. Sie finden eine ganz kleine kleine kleine für den Gen. Sie sehen, es geht um, zu arbeiten, in die Zappen auswählen, die Ordnance auswählen. Oof. Bees of the Hut aktiviert da, auch. Scan for scan. Mit der Watton, du siehst.

02:37:05 Ednum just looking to make sure he can reset safely as they now try to slide in for the opportunity. Trojan, though, get deleted. Remix is the only one alive and healthy. I hear the Lifeline Reds going off here to Aurora. We know that they have the Goldknock ready to go. Coming right back into this fight, though, and avoiding the team to their right. They come out on top and send Trojan back to the lobby. Alliance now looking to see if they can take some pokes.

02:37:30 Okay, Alliance start roping in on top of Aurora, just the way that Aurora did on top of Trojan there. But as you can see, I think a lot... What's that? Is that a spawn in? Yeah, there's no attachments on that gun, so it must have been an Alliance. No, they get met with a hail fire of bullets there from Aurora, and it's going to be a back-off from Hakkas, I think. The last one in and potentially the last one out.

02:38:00 Oh no, wow, Bullet for Bullet at the very end. I mean, he's going to have to go down, right? Even with that ring there, he was like, I'm going to be able to try to at least take them out before I get taken out by the team waiting for me on the edge of the circle, which was Ninjas in Pajamas here. Stay healthy on the other side. FaZe Clan now, Downs and Medic.

02:38:18 Oh man, how do they keep finding their way into these final circles? FaZe and GoNext are locked in a duel to the death down below, but Nip!

02:38:42 Surely they're going to come up here and get all of these KP to finish off yet another game. They knew. Go next. And they just knew at that point between phase that they had to play for second. Nip just had the high ground positioning. They were kill heavy with the way that they not only held the high ground position, but also with the way that they just won this game. Nice patience too coming in flake here for ninjas.

02:39:09 Ja, we talked about how they were a little bit behind Alliance and some of those other teams who are sitting at the top of our leaderboard today, Vicky, but with a play like that, they're inching closer to getting on the tippity top of it.

02:39:25 Und das war der Quick Rotate von der Seite, als wir in von Wallen haben, die sich in die Welt befinden können. Ja, so das war ein bisschen verrückt. Aber ich glaube, wir haben sie, bei einem Punkt mit den Tridenten gesehen, von Allianz, die war gerade hinter dem. Und Allianz war hinter dem für die majority der Zeit. Aber wenn Allianz split ihre attention zu DMS und der Care Pack, das hat geholfen geholfen, nicht nur wo sie sind, sondern wo sie sind,

02:39:54 Ja, ich bin, wir haben, wir haben, ihr habt, ihr habt, ihr habt, ihr habt, ihr habt.

02:40:24 It's such an important facet of Apex Comp, trying to make sure that you can stop worrying about that and just move into Godspot.

Ninjas in Pajamas dominieren mit aggressivem Spiel und sichern sich den Sieg

02:40:35

02:40:35 And with that being said here, too, and them taking that dub, look at this double-digit KP. Now, once again, for a winning team, this time for match number five from Nip. Not only taking that dub, but 14 KP. Even looking at Aurora, again, this team, we already know, could get kill after kill, but they keep getting shut down on these rotates. Very unfortunate, but living up to that sixth-place positioning gear, even looking at base, finishing off third place with 4 KP.

02:41:04 Ja, Aurora endlich fighten zurück hier. Und andere Teams sind auf der Opposite, wie Sie sehen, auf der BOTTOM HALF unserer Scoreboard hier. Atlus mit einem sehr guten Start zu der Serie. Das 1st Platz in Game 3 hat nur ein paar KP in Match 5.

02:41:26 Actually huge here as we take a look at the side-by-side comparison to GoNex versus Nip. We know that GoNex had gotten that res at the very end, had to play patiently in that house. With that damage, Nip, though, you could see the type of game that Nip was playing. As aggressive as they were, they had to in the positioning that they were. How many teams were trying to fight for that similar rotate to be on the high ground? I mean, at one point we saw Alliance, who had lost down a member. We saw Aurora playing off that low ground. They had no other choice but to try to force their way.

02:41:56 Out of that south side of the circle there too. Finishing off the game with a dub and 3.3k damage overall. Wow. And having a look at the overall series results and where that puts everyone, Vicky. Nip closed the gap. Not only that, they overtake Alliance, who moments ago I was saying, oh, there's a big gap that Alliance have opened up here over Nip.

02:42:21 But they overtake them and get ever so much closer to taking up first place against DMS. But gosh, they've been so consistent so far today. Can they pull out one more good performance to stay ahead of their rivals?

02:42:35 That's a lot of points there too, Ferdinand, because before this game, they were standing with only 30 points. Now they have 56 total points. That really highlights a side-by-side comparison of them getting super aggressive and playing for that dub as well. And DMS only securing one point since they've been in that first place spot. Now we got one more game to go here in EMEA within Storm Point. Don't go anywhere, because that's coming to you on the other side of this break.

02:44:34 Welcome back, everyone. DMS currently lead the way for Groups A and C here in EMEA. Can they stay on top is the question with one more game to go. It's been an awesome day for DMS, but they're not out of the woods just yet, Vicky. One game with a couple of teams close on their heels.

02:44:55 Yep, Nip being right there, right behind him with a 3-point difference after taking this dub. And not only that, but with 14 KP to their name. At this point, at the very end of game number 5, we saw that GoNex and FaZe were just fighting for second place. They knew that this engagement would have resulted in the high ground team that had the best position to just drop down and clean up whatever was left here. Because GoNex, after getting res, were working with Lackluster Loot on top of that here too.

02:45:21 So Kasher is staying alive for as much as possible. It was just a matter of time before Nip had come in, swooped in, and taken game number five. It's kind of nuts, isn't it, how similar that looked to match number two in terms of the way that Nip won it, and the other teams really didn't have a chance. And the other thing I'm thinking about here is the fact that Nip started off that game by hearing a fight in the distance. They were in Stormcatcher, evacuating towards Secret.

02:45:47 and then charging up the stairs to win that fight against, who was it, like Kneecap or something? And it was a really hard fight to win. A massive clutch from Zayn ends up with them getting like 20-something points at the end. So that clutch was so important, and that has made all the difference in terms of Nip's placing here in this series. Huge. The only team to get.

02:46:14 Okay, so ExoPlan have picked up the Wraith there. Um, as again, you know, we've got teams.

02:46:43 No, they haven't. They've actually gebeted us. It's Bang, Blood, and Lifeline. Come on, Gino. It's happened so many times at this point. It wouldn't be surprising either. We've seen the Wraith, of course, obviously from different regions. So that's what we've been seeing from design. But what I do like to note is that a makeshift legend that we've been seeing teams utilize a similar workaround to what the Wraith lacks has actually

02:47:11 Ich habe keine Hoffnung, aber ich habe keine Hoffnung, dass es für ein Team wie Allianz ist, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern, um es zu verändern.

02:47:36 Yeah, and you can see that these fights have been brewing here on the south side with Na'Vi and Aurora both taking up positioning in Barometer. But instead of contesting the other Barometer team, Aurora actually pulled to Cenote.

02:47:52 Aurora ist einfach so schnell mit dem Trident, zu sofort auf den Trident, und dann die Rez, wenn alles falsch geht. Ich meine, es ist ein Wettbewerb, wenn Teams mit Go-Nex zu Exit aus der Mail gehen wollen.

02:48:12 Yep, they're going to get the res straight on there, it seems like. Just a little bit of mutual kill farming between, you know, Eternal and Aurora, adding the amount of total KP that we'll see in this game as they both spawn back up to three. And having a look at this zone, Vicky, you can see, luckily, we've got somewhere different yet again. This one, you know, is it going to be a bit of a south checkpoint zone? Does it pull perhaps?

02:48:41 um continuing all the way towards mill

02:48:46 Especially towards those little houses to that right side of Mill. But we do note that there's so much information for these teams to try to take advantage of. Whether it be that ring console, the Survey Beacon being right there by Mill. You see Outplayed already ahead on their rotate as they try to exit out of Cito with Nessie being right behind them. Aurora, though, counting their blessings once they get information on where that circle is going to be pulling. Because now they can play by the edge. Wait to see what Eternal is going to do. Because Eternal will also have that same type of information exiting out of Cenote Cave with the Survey Beacon.

02:49:15 Yeah, I'm gonna make a call for the South Mill Building. We'll see if that comes true Trojan. Looks like they were waiting for potentially a rotate through by FaZe Clan who was sitting nearby. Or maybe they just want them to head out so that they can grab both the Evo Harvester and the Ring Console. Some juicy Evo in that exchange.

Allianz sichert sich den Sieg in einem umkämpften Match, während DMS ihren Spitzenplatz verliert

02:49:42

02:49:42 Wir haben noch ein bisschen mehr north, aber es ist DMS vs. Allianz. Nummer 1 vs. Nummer 3 jetzt. Wenn diese zwei fighten, könnte es eine große Herausforderung haben für diese Lobby.

02:49:58 Oh man, with the Lions having 54 points and DMS with 59, the Motherload has already been called in here from DMS. But while they take this fight, there is a team that is right behind DMS. I could sandwich them and it is Apex Warlords as Hockies tries to get into a better off angle here. Affect Isen it just slightly as DMS get eliminated. It was Apex Warlords that forced them back to the lobby and they may not be holding that first place spot for Long Genome. Oh my god, does the Lions go out?

02:50:27 hier als auch. Du siehst Unlucky da bereits. Effekt findet den Shield Swap und jetzt, als er in die Backup Hackers kommt, ist es besser und besser für Allianz.

02:50:38 We turn the lights back on the disco ball.

02:51:00 Lies still, there will be no continuing of the party here. No one else within range. And so Alliance should get that respawn immediately at down beast. That's very important for them. Imagine if they had have gone out right there, it would have landed the series straight in Nip's lap, but it doesn't happen. And it will fight on between those two teams with, yeah, DMS. I mean, they've got a small lead.

02:51:25 Ich glaube, es ist eine Chance, dass es eclipsed wird, von den anderen zwei Teams haben. Sie haben die Rekord auf die Punkte auf den Bord, Vicky. Es gibt zwei Teams, die immer in diese Final-Zone sind, zu prioritieren, die Rotate zu werden, besonders wenn sie aggressiv sind und spielen bei der Edge sind. Nippen und Allianz sind keine Stranger zu diesen. Ich habe sie hier sehen, ZMS.

02:51:49 ...haves to rely on their fate on the rest of this game. Nip on their Rotate, the team that is currently sitting in third place right behind the Lions with 56 points. Already going to be able to rotate through Cito where Trojan and Stay Healthy are actually rotating in a similar direction now. So Nip trying to see if they want to either prioritize maybe trying to take this fight or if they want to get deeper into that next circle.

02:52:13 I mean, they haven't been scared of early fights, and going into this game, I'm sure they're tracking that leaderboard. If they had have seen Aurora Alliance go out earlier, they might have just tried to play it safe and get a few points, but at this point, they're trying to work their way upwards, and they're going to do that by taking shots at Trojan, who try and retreat in the open here.

02:52:43 Das ist für die Fight for the Information 2. Das ist das Spot, wo viele Teams kommen in von den E-Siden wollen, die Sido auswählen, nur für den Konsul, die Nippe haben bereits erwähnt. Zayn still mit den Pressuren, mit diesen Hemlock Shots, durch den Smokest. Er wird die Beasts von der Hunt bekommen. Aber es ist sogar besser für sie, dass keine Team auf dem Hillen auf den Hillen, das ist nur für sie, die Nippe, für Nippe, für Nippe.

02:53:10 Wow. Free KP, as you say, with Cybercats kind of helping them out a little bit as well. Shots from afar, and I think only one of the Trojan members actually managed to survive that onslaught. Okay, Ring actually pulls a little more to the north.

02:53:30 Okay, yeah. Does this end up potentially even in front of the head of the beast? Or maybe towards the buildings at the back of Mill? The way that one's looking.

02:53:44 I feel like it's definitely not inside Checkpoint. Yeah, I'm going to guess it's actually up towards Beast now, which as you can see, teams haven't necessarily banked on Vicky. Most of them sitting up in and around Mill. It's only Alliance that's sticking up there. And they've got the ring console as well within the zone. They can get some serious scans and information of that.

02:54:06 Exactly. And that comes in clutch when you're rocking that Pathfinder and you get the perk that allows you to scan those ring consoles and knowing that no other team was approaching them after they got the whole res and reset, that they were able to clean that ring beacon and prevent other teams now to start rotating there because these other teams were taking their time to rotate in this direction here. So Alliance in a pretty good spot looking at where that circle was pulling and then they...

02:54:32 Having that information is even bigger. As we see more squads here rotating from that north side. Atlas is going to be able to get that information off that survey beacon and see where all these squads have already contested by Mill. You can see even the pains coming in because this team doesn't have a ring console to scan. They don't have a legend that can do that. They are rocking the lifeline. So they're banking on the amount of people in these circles to see where these people have predicted where it's going to be pulling. No, it's a really good spot, right? There's a...

02:55:01 Three characters that have that Ringmaster perk. So you've got Vantage, you've got Pathfinder, and you've got Fuse. I can't remember if there's any more, but obviously most people have been picking Fuse so far to try and, you know...

02:55:18 Play for those late game ring consoles, Alliance actually changing it up a little bit here with the Pathfinder pick that does give you that same mid game option, not necessarily a start of the game early rotate option, but a mid game option to get the information.

02:55:37 And they also are rocking the Bloodhound there too. So they want to double dip and get even more Evil Shield charge. They just scan a Survey Beacon if they have that available to them. Speaking of, Eternal with the Bloodhound scan. They're going to be able to scan the team that's right on top of them. I believe that may be Nessie or Go Next. As so many other teams are just sharing the space here at Mill. But Eternal with full blue Evils are just looking to see if they can put in some quote pressure.

02:56:03 Yeah, coexisting with GoNext here. Not necessarily ideal for Eternal, but at least they have the option to try and get out quickly when the next circle gets revealed. ANC, however, they're playing in the building just to the back of Mill. They'll probably be the primary threats to their exit strategy.

02:56:36 We're looking over through the pipe. I believe it's Navi that's on that low ground armory. Yeah.

02:56:46 Oh, sending out those names, though, as the Catwalls come up, they block the site from Aurora, but they are pinched between Nine Liars, Navi in the worst spot. I mean, it's horrible, not just because of Aurora, Trojan have respawned. They're coming at this. Nine Liars are there. Even Cybercats are looking at this from the hill. This threatens to be an absolute monster of a fight here.

02:57:11 And engaging fully here, too, off of getting that knock with the nade. Hardecki, the last of the line, trying to get the res here. I don't either. I mean, there's five other teams in the area. What can you expect as he gets the re-knock after that? Hardecki can't fully heal or reset. After trying to capitalize off of that initial knock, they fail. And now Na'Vi, even losing out on one, are able to reset because Trojan is taking this fight versus nine lives.

02:57:36 Oh, far too many teams in the area. This one makes a little more sense with Trojan coming out on top. But yeah, Aurora, they had such a good spot. I feel like they could have been a little more patient there, taking the 1kp, let the other teams finish off Matafe for them once the wall had gone down, and, you know, then think about their next move. Because other teams already are realizing that Mil is not in, and they start to try and move more north.

02:58:06 Fortune for Aurora in this final game as Nasky... ...trying to line up a Kraber shot. Ah, das ist taising. Opportunity does not present itself. He knows, he knows we're watching. That's how Nasky is sometimes here too. But also, got a highlight. Missing out on the Kraber shot as two were aligned. Not gonna get.

02:58:28 The collab that he was looking for, but specifically this positioning is great for Nip. They're playing off of the bridge right smack in the middle of this circle. Imagine if you got like 400 Evo in one Krabble. Imagine.

02:58:45 Ich habe einen Klatt, was mit der Kraemer? Es ist immer so sick. Es ist ein guter Gefühl. Ich könnte es einfach mal wiederholen. Aber es ist ein schönes Flyby zu sehen, dass die Teams, die noch immer noch fighten, aus dem Milch, weil das Circle ist gleich nach dem Allianz. Was eine großartige Situation für Allianz zu sein. Ich habe die Teams?

02:59:10 Red this? There's a lot actually going towards Checkpoint. I don't know if that's just their walk-in option, or if they don't think they want to play, like, you know, the Cannon, or the one building that's in inside of Down Beast, but no one's really going there.

02:59:25 Oh, no Newcastle!

02:59:54 ...to help keep them safe this time. And even the Lifeline, who could have helped with a quick res, is down. How much longer do Exo stay alive here? It's gonna be tough with Atlas on top of them. We've seen what they're made of already today. And the crossfire coming in from FA Kids makes me think that Exo are not long for this world. At least Yonza is still alive for now. Atlas showing face.

03:00:21 Nipp ist immer in diesen Fights, mit einem besseren Position zu extend auf.

03:00:48 Ja, so they move their way up towards that bridge. And why don't we listen in with nip as they take on Navi and Nessie?

03:00:59 Okay, okay, okay

03:01:26 Ich bin auf, ich bin auf, ich bin auf, ich bin auf, ich bin auf.

03:01:55 Ich hab das Fisch, ich hab das Fisch!

03:02:02 Oh no, we hear it from there, Nip. They identified correctly there was a solo, but it was actually Nessie behind them, and he managed to grab the evac tower and get out, whereas ANC play was a full trio in front of them. As he mentioned, Alliance coming over the top here, and with that fight against

03:02:32 Hey kids, they take first place!

03:02:34 And that's why Natsky was so worried knowing Alliance was just two points away from taking that first place spot. And here they are with 65 total points. Taking the solo that was behind Nip, finally out. Nessie eliminated our last three squads alive. And Alliance have not moved from this position for all the right reasons. They've had circle control. They've had circle information with the Pathfinder. And it is working out for them.

03:03:03 Ja, ihr könnt da sehen, sie haben Ringmaster und Zipline-Zen, die sie sehr happy und gesundheitlich und informiert sind in dieser Position. Hackes jetzt sogar noch ein paar Kraber-Shots für gut measure. Es ist Atlas und A&C, die Leidenschaft sind in dieser Position, aber sie haben es aber alles, aber hier ist alles, hier. Es ist nicht möglich, dass Atlas nicht genug Points zu kommen über First Alliance.

03:03:32 Can they win this Match 6, as well as the Series?

03:03:37 Nah, Alliance is cracked right now. They are playing out of their minds. OP as a duo fly up to the skies on an evac. Alliance says, don't delay this any further. Don't make it hurt as they land on the hype. But the tracking from them, Lucky on the Havoc blaring through. They take the hype for now until that last finishing blow comes into play. Alliance, they started the day winning game number one and they end the day winning our final game six on Storm Point.

Allianz dominiert das Finale und sichert sich den Seriensieg

03:04:06

03:04:06 Wow, das ist eine große Leistung von Allianz. Ich meine, nur in den letzten beiden Fällen, haben sie zusammengebracht, die wenige Punkte geholfen müssen, um das zu kommen. Das ist, ich meine, ja, das ist warum sie eine der besten Teams in EMEA haben, und sie haben für Jahre alt. Es ist die Fakt, dass sie ihre Positionen erkennen, die Team, die sie wirklich zu focussen haben,

03:04:34 Luckily for them, and where the circle pulled on their rotate was DMS over by Downbeast. Apex Warlord scooped up, and then they were able to clean up that team right afterwards. Some easy KP for Alliance before concluding the rest of the day. That circle pulling right towards Alliance. I mean, the script writes itself at this point, but a lovely performance from them nonetheless.

03:04:55 Es war so gut. Und es war ein guter Epoch für Ninjas in Pajamas, als auch. Ich meine, Sie haben sich da und fragen, was wenn sie das Evac-Tower hat? Could das haben verändert die Geschichte hier in Game 6?

03:05:09 I think it honestly could have. If anything, we would have probably seen Nip versus Alliance if they did decide to land in a similar position that we saw the solo from Nessie land by the Gravitational Cannon. As we see now Alliance not only taking the dub, but 12 KP to their name, looking all the way down to Nip. I mean, they got 5 KP. It was a long trek for them to go since they decided to not take that evac tower genome.

03:05:33 Es ist ein langer Weg zu gehen, aber es ist unglaublich. Na'Vi ist auch mit 10 Punkten. Wir sehen uns, wie das auf die Aufmerksamkeit empfiehlt sich um, in der overallen Standings hier. Cybercats ... ... ... ... ...

03:05:52 One of the most fun teams to watch, even the Pathfinder play, infecting the best team in the lobby with Alliance trying it out for themselves and a couple of other points spread throughout here. DMS, though, going out in 20th with zero points. That was not the end to the series that they needed.

03:06:14 It wasn't, but they did have a dominating day aside from that last game, which means that they're probably within at least a top five, top three that I could expect. But it's been a pretty jam-packed day of a lot of action for Rami. I always feel like it's always so close nonetheless. I know Glitter, you were able to call out all the action yesterday where we had a very similar situation where our top three teams were so close together in points.

03:06:37 what's going on in EMEA, but none of the teams want to let the other ones get any sort of a leg up. I mean, just when you think it might be NIP that has the whole thing in the bag, Alliance like, no, we'll match that. We'll also get the two dubs. We'll close this out with a win. They were constantly jockeying back and forth on that leaderboard for that top spot. So it was a well-fought day in general. And we'll take a look back.

03:07:02 Das war's, dass wir hier auf Swarm Point gesehen haben, weil es sich angefangen hat.

03:07:08 in match number four to say the least. We watched this zone pull all the way up towards Lightning Rod and the team that just had a rough last match actually started off match number four incredibly strong. DMS was in such a solid position and we saw the likes of CyberCats and stay healthy up here with them in that top three. DMS makes, sorry, nine lives. CyberCats had gone out two nine lives prior to that and then once

03:07:33 DMS takes out Nine Lies. All they have to do is look towards Stay Healthy. And like you said, Vicky, we were watching this. There was a point where Stay Healthy made a concerted death ball to try and swing on DMS and see if they could maybe do something with it. But the shield disparity was just too much for them to overcome. Yeah, not only was it the extra health, they did a lot of damage, but that extra health really shows a difference maker here. That on top of the fuse pressure that you feel from the Knuckle Cluster. And then, Vicky, talk us through these Match 5 moments as well.

03:08:03 Ja, das ist eine andere Situation, ich denke Genome hat es perfekt, wo basically Ninjas in Pajamas...

03:08:09 In another situation where they were able to take the dub, were just able to sit in the best Godspot point that they were able to be in, while all the teams had to funnel into their line of sight. They're the only team now left on the high ground after they take care of staying healthy once again in another team fight. And the two teams on the bottom, I believe Go Next and Face, essentially just started playing for second. They knew that neither of these teams would probably come out on top with the squad still holding on to height. And the situation that both Face and Go Next, who just got the res, were forced in.

03:08:37 Das ist eine andere Situation, wo wir unsere Teams versuchen zu kämpfen, für den Top-Spot zu kämpfen. Die Pajamas sind wirklich, wirklich stark hier. Sie waren able zu close das mit uns.

03:08:48 Solid, solid win. And then it all boiled down to Match 6's Genome, where it was all on Alliance to see if they could jump back up the leaderboard. Yeah, everyone else in the lobby seemingly not reading this as a down B zone. First it was Mil, then a lot of teams going into Checkpoint, perhaps the cover available in this final circle, not tempting them to go in there a little bit earlier. Or maybe it was just the terrifying presence of Alliance that scared them off and allowed

03:09:17 them to rack up so many points in this last game 24 you gotta remember they were only five points off the pace um at the end of game five and so this was more than enough points needed not only to put uh you know dms behind them but also ninjas in pajamas and there you go by a landslide ish alliance take out the win

03:09:45 You guys just said it so well when you were casting that match. Alliance took their time moving in because they also knew they had that ring console at their disposal and they could get the information and really figure out the best place to play, which was exactly where they were from the beginning. But 39 and 39, dead even split across the board for Alliance to get that first place finish, which is crazy considering just how strong the performances were that we saw out of Nip. Another team with those two wins. DMS following it up. I mean, we saw all of these teams have...

03:10:14 Moments where they were popping off and the fact that then Alliance dominated that much more above everybody is impressive, Vicky. Yeah, and with the Pathfinder, once again, it's the utility that the perks bring to the table that have really changed things up for a lot of the different comps that we are now seeing to try to combat the Bangalore and Bloodhound that we keep witnessing in a lot of different regions glitter.

03:10:36 We definitely saw a little bit of an uptick too in some of our squads that needed to get some points on the board as we take a look at what that's done now to our regular season standings. FaZe Clan up in first, but note that is because they have played four series of Gaming Gladiators only at three. So a couple of these teams, these shifts that you see will also change as we get into our next...

03:10:59 The last, I guess, group of our round robin second stage here in the competition. You can see Alliance jumping up 11 spots after their performance with Trojan rounding out that top 10. Also moving up alongside Ninjas in Pajamas. Moving up as we take a look at the second page, we can continue to see some of these changes here, Vicky.

03:11:18 Looking at the second page and this is why it's important at the beginning of our Top of Show to highlight how some of these teams were only able to play two series such as Alliance before now a dominating performance on their third series played elevating them up to the top ten and looking at teams like Awara though with now four series played going down in the overall standards not having the day that we keep expecting them to have.

03:11:43 Ja, und es gibt ein paar Teams mit drei, mit drei zu können, um zu übernommen, um zu übernommen. Wir sehen uns jetzt 9 Lies zu machen, ein bisschen ground zu machen. Das ist etwas, was wir heute erwartet haben. Apex Warlords, also zu übernommen, aber jetzt, dass wir um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

03:12:10 And then look for the match point win, because of course that is the way that any of these teams can still make it to split two playoffs.

03:12:20 Und ist es einfach so gut für Nasty Nasty hier?

03:12:50 für den MVP, okay? Der Bangalore, der IGL für Ninjas in Pajamas. Es war einfach so...

03:12:57 Such a phenomenal day for them. This close to getting the win on the day. But they still got two wins throughout the series. And Natsuki specifically heading into match six. And here are these beautiful, beautiful cracks and knocks from Natsuki. But he had 12 kills heading into match six. He had 11 assists heading into match six. And 4,400 damage.

03:13:22 Und das ist nicht nur die Arbeit, die Zayn und Amphi waren, als ein Trio. Ich meine, wir sahen Clutches aus den beiden, wir sahen Big Plays aus den beiden, aber mit dem Natsky, was er bringt zu den Tag, 5,100 Damage Gel. Ich meine, eine Phänomenal performance auf dem Natsky. Und die größte Sache für mich war, dass er all diese Calls für die Team war, die sie in diese Position haben.

03:13:50 Also, knowing when to take the aggressive fights that might have been a little bit earlier on in the matches. So, I cannot say enough good things about Nasky and his performance here today in Match Day 5.

03:14:05 Also, more nade clips like that. Because I think everybody was thoroughly entertained. I wish I heard those comms. I wish I heard those comms from Nasky. The moment he hit all those nades, I can only imagine. He probably said, I'm Fuse now. Or maybe a little bit more vulgar. We can only assume. But that was actually hilarious. I mean, where did he even get the space in his backpack for that, right? He doesn't get to double stack them like Fuse. Did the man even have any ammo? Was he just like, well, I don't need...

03:14:34 I don't need bats because no one else is looking at us up here. I'm just taking nades only. I mean, pretty much. They just had a phenomenal position. But overall, fantastic day. And another team that obviously just had a fantastic day is Alliance, which means, you know, we have to talk to them as well. Number one in the series for today. So we've got Hockis standing by ready to chat with us and talk about what happened today because you guys were just on and out.

03:14:59 So congratulations and tell us about how you guys are feeling right now. We're feeling great. We had first pick this week going into it. So we figured we're going to get one really good POI, which is Galvestrials and then one pretty bad one, which was Northpad that we shared with Trident. So yeah, but I mean, we hunt the Trident down and they work pretty well. I mean, not so shabby in that last match either. You guys played that final zone perfectly.

03:15:30 Danke. Ja, das war eine sehr klutch-Fight. Mein Team ist 2v3, oder mir in effect 2v3, die Apex Warlords kommen für den 3P. Und wir haben DMS auch, die Top 3 war. Das war ein perfekt Start.

03:15:43 You guys played that amazingly. And obviously to highlight the changeup that we don't see in other team comps, the Pathfinder and the way that you're able to scan those ring consoles really benefiting the way that you play because you guys prioritize those evil harvesters in terms of pathing. You also get that when you scan those care packages. I mean, can you kind of elaborate what you guys are doing different that the other teams aren't doing right now with the traditional bang, blood, insert any random character here for third, whether most likely will be.

03:16:13 oder eine Katalist oder eine Kontrolle, was das für deine squad zu spielen, wie du willst. Wir sind mit einem Team in Trident neben uns, wir sind auf Hard Edge. Und North Bad ist ein ziemlich viel Edge POI in generell. Du wirst schnell rotatieren all die Zeit. Und Pathfinder ist einfach an Isolated 3v3s, wo du eigentlich kannst du spazieren und spielen Angles. So, he just offers mehr versatilität für uns, um zu machen, und zu schauen für Dinge an Edge, stattdessen zu werden, auf den Boden zu schafften.

03:16:43 Yeah, and you guys are definitely making it work. I mean, you know, as one of those characters that gives you the option to, yeah, as you're saying, play Edge and get the late ring console scan in. You said, you know, you had, you know, first pick because you went for Sky Trials and then last pick that you get North Pad out of. Looking at those sort of later picks.

03:17:07 Um, you know, how confident do you guys actually feel playing from lower POIs? Because obviously as one of the best teams in the EU region, you haven't had to deal with POIs from that, like for basically your entire career.

03:17:22 Ich finde, ich würde mich ein ziemlich flexibel idealen Ideal in generell. Ich habe viele verschiedene Tournamenten gespielt, Flex-A-Round, Realme und so weiter. Ich bin ziemlich komfortabel von überall. Wir wollen Nord-Path und Trident, so wenn wir einen oder anderen bekommen, werden wir den anderen runter. So, unser PO und Stormpoint ist, zumindest auf jeden Fall, aber den World's Edge 1, wir können immer flexen.

03:17:46 Now, we've seen, and we've actually talked to a lot of the other players about this too. Obviously, the draft POI system has almost really leveled the playing field in all of the regions. We're starting to see other teams having some strong performances, and it's all about the adaptability. And right now, EMEA is...

03:18:07 So close competitively when we keep looking at this leaderboard. Every series we have multiple teams kind of jockeying for the top. So give me your impressions on the region now that we're halfway through the split and its level of competitiveness.

03:18:23 Ich glaube, die Teams, die immer versatil sind, werden gut sein. Zonen-Teams und Flexible Teams in generell. Wenn man gut findet, kann man gut sein. Ich bin nicht zufrieden. Es ist nur, dass einige Teams, die zu set in der Waste sind, werden zu kämpfen. Aber ich hoffe, dass es eine gute Erfahrung für alle. Pro League ist der beste Ort, speziell für LAN, denn LAN ist alles, was wichtig ist. Das ist warum wir, als Team, versuchen, Dinge zu tun. Wir versuchen, die ersten Woche zu alternieren. Wir versuchen, Pathfinder zu alternieren.

03:18:51 Wir sind hier zu lernen, aber auch zu lernen. Wir nehmen die Praxis wir können. Ist MIA-Gonna-Win-A-Land? Wir werden unser Besten machen. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Well, congratulations again, Hakkis. Vielen Dank für die Ereignisse mit uns. Phänomenal day für euch und die resten der Squad. Danke für mich.

03:19:16 All right, it's always nice to be able to chat with our players. And I mean, he's not wrong. We've seen them be so flexible from different spots on this map. And it just really illustrates what they can do with these limited drops here, Vicky.

03:19:32 Yeah, you know what I loved hearing from him? I loved hearing how they approached these different tournaments. Hearing Hockey say that Pro League is where they could get away with trying different things out because to them, the most important thing that actually matters is LAN. And I agree with him 100%. That is actually when you get to play on the big stage and you get to play under that pressure. Hockey's obviously a veteran in the competitive Apex scene that has gone to so many LANs and understands that pressure.

03:20:01 also understands the way that he needs to approach Pro League and to be able to adapt as quickly as he has to alongside all these teams with the POI draft. This is the place to do it. And you can see that success that they've been able to find playing different legend compositions. Yes, the Ultra didn't work out for them. They did pull off some shenanigans at the beginning where people were not expecting the Ultra to work out. And then people were able to adjust around that. But now bringing the Pathfinder and then leading the overall leaderboards for the day is a great showcase for Alliance.

03:20:30 Vielen Dank.

03:21:00 when no one else was playing her, when they played Newcastle, when no one else was playing her. And despite all these strange compositions and trying things, they have always ended up at LAN and they've made it through and they're probably better off because of it. So, you know, the fact that they've run away with a win and 25 overall standing points here is going to do a world of good for them. And I'm certainly looking forward to seeing them at the next LAN.

03:21:28 Absolutely. I think EMEA always spices things up a little bit, so it's always a good time as we get through more of their match days here in the split. But as far as you two are concerned, you did a great job in EMEA. I will let you go rest and enjoy a little bit of time before we get into our next region because our Apex Legends action isn't done for today. EMEA might be done, but we still have our NA Match Day 5 coming up right around the corner. 11 p.m. BST, 6 p.m. ET, and of course 3 p.m.

03:21:57 So there's only a little bit of time before we get into another six matches. And if EMEA is any indication, it's going to be another exciting day. I can't wait to see what they bring to the table. As always, though, if you missed anything that happened here today or you won't be able to make it to NA later, just follow us on social media. Okay, you can go to at Play Apex Esports on X and YouTube or at Play Apex on Twitch and just follow along there. That way you won't miss a single second.

03:22:27 Das ist alles passiert in der ALGS. Für jetzt ist es Zeit für eine Pause, bevor wir in der N.A. Region für ALGS gehen. So gehen wir zum Snacks, gehen wir in ein paar Minuten. Wir sehen uns wieder hier in ein paar Stunden.

03:24:14 Das ist alles, was er braucht in den Beats of the Hunt. Das Shield Swap ist nicht genug für Kneecaps. Zayn klutzes es für Ninjas in Pajamas.
