ALGS Championship Qualification und EMEA Rebuilding Theme
00:01:22
00:01:22 The ALGS Championship, the most prestigious competitive event in the ALGS Calendar. I'm Jumba, this is the ALGS Rundown, and let's break down the qualification methods our teams are striving for to book their tickets to Sapporo. All of the best Apex teams in the world will be fighting for their share of the 2 million US dollar prize pool and the chance to lift the championship trophy in Sapporo, Japan. But how do teams make it there? Throughout the ALGS Calendar year, our teams have earned championship points based on their placements in Pro League,
00:01:50 der ALGS Open und der Mid-Season Play-Offs. Die Top 24 Teams auf der Global Championship Point Leaderboard werden automatisch gewaltt für die ALGS Championship in Japan auf der Ende der Split-Two Pro-League. LANDs earnet ihr die meisten Punkte. So Top-Performer Teams wie Team Falcons, die Winners der ALGS Open und BK Gaming, die Winners der ALGS Mid-Season Play-Offs haben 1000er Punkte. Putting sie am Topf der Championship Point Leaderboard.
00:02:15 Other top performers like Alliance, Gen.G, Ninjas in Pajamas, who have been consistent throughout the year, both in Pro League and at LAN, have all but locked their spots in for Japan as well. Further down the leaderboard, teams like TSM, Virtus Pro, Noah's Fox will be fighting for their position on the Championship Point leaderboard. They will be looking to secure enough points to remain in the top 24 and lock in their ticket for Sapporo.
00:02:37 Anyone that wins their region's Split 2 Pro League will book their ticket to Japan. With four regions, each having their own Pro League, there will be one slot per region up for grabs for placing first. So consistency is key if you want to secure your spot for chance. The next method is regional finals. The winners of each regional final, regardless of their final placement in Pro League standings, will also lock in a spot for Sapporo. The regional final will utilize the match point format, so you'll have to be locked in and aim for that big win if you want.
00:03:06 Wenn wir uns in Sapporo gewinnen haben, dann haben wir uns in Sapporo gewinnen und 4 Regional Finals gewinnen.
00:03:35 Das heißt, 8 Spots jetzt noch bleiben, als wir in unsere Last Chance Qualifiers haben zwei Spots per Region für die Grabs. Die LCQ für die Region gibt es all die remaining Split-2 Pro-League-Teams, die noch nicht für die Champions-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League
00:03:57 culminating in a Matchpoint Finals Lobby, where the top two placing teams will earn the final spots in Sapporo. Once again, you'll have to be playing at your best and be able to perform under that pressure if you want to make it to Japan and have your chance to lift that ALGS Championship trophy. With that, you now know all the ways our ALGS teams can earn their way to the ALGS Championship in Year 5 and have their shot at securing their legacy. What teams do you hope to see to make it to the ALGS in Japan?
00:04:24 Let us know down in the comments.
00:04:51 Thank you all for watching, and we look forward to seeing you all for the Split 2 Pro League.
00:06:05 That upset me. But guys, we are back. And now I am vindicated because I have brought two gentlemen as well to join me in this broadcast who also had to wait on the sidelines. And now our number has been called. Guys, we're back on the pitch. It's time to score the goal, put our team in the lead. It is split two. My name is Randy. I'm your host. And of course, I've got Mark Dan on set and Gaskin to join with me. Mark, how's it feel being back, baby? Feels good.
00:06:29 Dan war so kind this morning. He said, I like your shirt. And I said, I like yours too. He's implying that after this, he's setting sail. Dan, is it vacation time after this? I mean, you're making me feel good vibes here. Yeah, it is a big boat club day, I think. I got my new boat t-shirt. I thought I'd put it on and just be...
00:06:57 We're all coming back to it. And I think the players as well. We've got some interesting stats we're going to bring to you, some recaps of last weekend. And we're also going to look forward into what this weekend means, because you guys know we had that break. We have a break coming up after this split as well, but it all leads to champs. Thus, why we've decided to start these shows with a little bit of a theme, a scheme.
00:07:26 They call it in psychology, a way of looking at life, but maybe just a way of looking at the show and the stakes of it. It's our theme for the day, a region rebuilding. And, you know, Mark, we were talking about this behind the scenes, but EMEA, they're a team that have shown as bright as any other region and yet sometimes as dark as a region can show up. What does this theme mean about where EMEA is at heading into Split 2 and Champs?
00:07:49 I think it's a region which is, like we're saying here, is rebuilding. And it's a couple of established teams who we expect to know are going to be able to perform when it gets to the LAN environment. But we are also seeing some new blood come through, some new teams who are starting to make deeper parts of tournaments, finals lobby themselves, and are gaining a lot of experience in doing so as well. So I think, for me, the interest in this split for EMEA is seeing who is going to be the teams who go towards champs to represent EMEA.
00:08:16 Alongside the teams we would expect. Is it going to be some of this new blood who has gained this experience? Or is this going to be the split where they gain enough experience to put themselves on that world stage? So I'm really excited to see what comes out of Amir when we get to the end of this split.
00:08:29 Dan, I mean, the question he brings up is the fact that you're kind of training your new stars in the fact that they get the experience, they see the old stars, and they have a chance to be in that ring. Amir seems to be having an opportunity here, but of course, this split means everything. This is truly where you're going to qualify for champs if you haven't shown up, so the time is now. Yeah, the time is now, and it's not just the new blood. There is, of course, still the old blood there as well. There are still teams that are forming with...
00:08:55 some of the biggest and best competitors we have seen in this region, just trying to find that right fit. Teams that have been together before and now are finding their path back together as well. I think everyone is in the same kind of boat, that they really just want to try and find a way to get to Champs. It is the biggest and best tournament that there is, and you want to be there.
Historische Vielfalt an Gewinnern und Analyse der EMEA-Leistungen
00:09:13
00:09:13 Well, let's hope that they don't encounter too many rough waters there as well, Dan. Of course, this is a season that is going to give us a lot of fun and maybe a little bit of a surprise as well as we jump into it. And speaking of surprises and fun, that's exactly what last weekend did. If you caught the broadcast, that's great. But if you didn't, we had something historic happen over our regions. We had 24.
00:09:37 That's right, 24 unique teams win games, meaning there wasn't a repeat winner in APAC North, Americas, APAC South, and EMEA. You can look at this in a couple of different ways. My questions that I would ask as this is, is the gap just completely...
00:09:54 Even amongst all of these teams, there's no gap anymore? Everyone is just finding a way to throw Haymaker after Haymaker and we're watching heavyweight Apex Legends? Or is it hard to contain? Does this meta have surprises that people have not figured out how to stabilize and counter anymore? When you consider to think that this is the first time in history we've ever had.
00:10:15 24 different winners on a match day. It does make you think that there's something about this meta that is still surprising players. Maybe it's the TTK, maybe it's the BK, maybe it's the legend bands, but it's fun and it means that this season is going to give us a lot to look forward to and a lot to analyze as well. And if you didn't catch the matches, well, we've got some highlights that we want to run for you to make sure you are up to speed on what EMEA got up to last weekend in match day one. It was a double header, I believe.
00:10:45 Ich glaube, es war B. Ich glaube, es war B. Ich glaube, es war B. Ich glaube, es war B. Und ich glaube, es war B. Und Sie sehen es hier. Cybercats hat das erste Spiel gemacht. Es war ein paar sehr guter Ergebnisse, und es war ein Similarer Cybercats Top 2 finish. Sie dachten, dass sie die Narrative gehen. Das könnte sein sein, aber es war Citadel Gaming. Und wenn ihr auf der Perspektive schaut, wir haben auf den ALGS YouTube, PlayFX Esports, auf YouTube.
00:11:14 You will see how they did it. It's phenomenal. And it's a great showcase of what Zuni and Remix Powers and of course Haisha are getting up to. You aim with that RE45. I mean, this is a weapon that got nerfed and is still at the top of the meta. But speaking of the top, what you see effect up here on high, you see Alliance usually at the top of the leaderboards. You see the PK.
00:11:35 Maybe the number one most used, most effective weapon in these late games. Two of those things truly on top. Alliance? Maybe not. We'll talk a little bit more about some of the woes and things they need to do to change things up heading into another weekend yet again. But SJP, they would bounce back. They'd see Luxor playing his best game of hide and seek. But SJP too, they had something else in mind. They weren't there for fun and games. They were just there to win games. And CyberCats, another...
00:12:02 Noticiable opportunity for a top one finish. Still find themselves in the top two, but can't get it done thanks to the leadership, the veteran patience of 07, Natsky and Kashira alongside the firepower of Adams. So Dan, as we look at these teams, obviously these are our top five top performers.
00:12:23 What's the takeaway, considering not only are they all different, but they all have different moments of showing excellence in different ways? I think I was happy to see it competitive. How many times have we seen EMEA just been a blowout? And a team like Alliance, for example, dominating, getting multiple wins, and no one else is really competing for first place. We want to see the region push each other to be better so that when they do get into international competition, they don't feel out of place. And I feel like we are starting to see that, at least in this week, it seemed like some teams had
00:12:52 Ich bin froh, dass wir einen anderen Spieler gewinnen haben, in jedem Spiel, das bedeutet, dass es die Meta ist, dass die Leute nicht genutzt werden, oder dass sie nicht genutzt werden, oder dass sie nicht genutzt werden, dass sie nicht genutzt werden, oder dass sie nicht genutzt werden, dass sie nicht genutzt werden. Ich bin froh, dass sie nicht genutzt werden, dass sie nicht genutzt werden.
00:13:12 And I think it is expected, too. You bring up a good point that when the region is most competitive, many teams are winning. It's not this blowout where Alliance is on top. But you would still expect some of that experience to carry over. I mean, a team that's placed third and second and first and fourth in some of our majors over the year span, we had a chance at midseason playoffs to talk to Kelly, one of their general managers and owners, and somebody who's obviously been a part of that team from the earlier days, Mark. Alliance have been consistent.
00:13:42 und das ist was wir wissen von dem.
00:13:52 Sie sehen, einfach auf die Statistiken, die wir gesehen haben, wenn es E-District ging, hat es angefangen zu sehen. Wir sind Glück genug, dass wir nach den Stornpointen sehen können, und tatsächlich auf die Stornpointen schauen können, was das nicht falsch ist. Es ist schwierig, dass die Dinge falsch sind, auf einen Person zu verantworten, weil es die Verantwortung gescheitert ist, für die Pläne gescheitert sind. Das ist Nummer 1. Das ist, als Sie sehen, 13th place overall. No Kills für einen Spieler. Das ist, wenn sie auf Trident dropped, auf Trident. Sie hat North Pad 3, als es auch. Es ist eine ROUGH-Zone für sie zu bekommen, nur zu den North-Side.
00:14:21 Das Problem ist...
00:14:42 Hackis dies, er wird geschnitten aus, kann er nicht öffnen, weil er zu interessiert ist, und in die Position zu werden, zu werden. Sie haben jetzt die Entscheidung zu werden und zu werden, sie müssen eine Blinde-Evac machen, weil er nachdem er wieder öffnet ist, alle auf der Survey Beacon auf der Survey-Beacon ist. Also sie müssen diese Blinde-Evac machen, sie landen in und über die Prowler-Nest, sie landen in den Clutches von O7 und Citadel Gaming, die sich über die Fight-Evac aufzunehmen.
00:15:10 07 nicht nur hat, aber sie haben einen Blick. Und jetzt schauen wir uns an, von der Evac und der Listen-In-Point-Of-Vue.
00:15:31 Ich kann die TeeBee dann auch. Wir müssen die TeeBee backen. Nein, nein, nein, nein!
00:16:05 Das ist auch ein Ruhm-Match-Number-One. Vielleicht ist das auch ein Ruhm-Match-Number-One. Vielleicht ist das auch ein Ruhm-Match-Number-One. Aber in Nummer-Number-Two, die Pattern weitergeht, hier für Allianz 15. Und wie Sie sehen, Effekt wird 2-KP. Aber das ist vielleicht ein bisschen mehr ein Frustrating-Game für sie. Sie bekommen den Trident, sie beherrscht zur Zone, das ist zu Ende. Sie haben eine große Möglichkeit, um zu kommen. Und sie haben eine gute Möglichkeit, um dort zu kommen. Und sie haben eine gute Möglichkeit, um dort zu kommen.
00:16:33 Das ist der Kampf von Allianz, die meistens eine der größten Suits ist. Sie kommen zu Mill, Killer Whales sind die Team, die in Residenz sind. Sie können Co-Existen. Sie können Co-Existen. Killer Whales versuchen sie zu holen. Allianz nehmen sie den Kampf, aber SJP2 ist die ganze Zeit in die Position, und hier ist der Kampf zu starten, um in die 3rd-Parte. Wenn wir in den Clip sehen, Sie sehen
00:16:55 Die Problem ist, Unlucky geht nicht ohne Ausputz. Das macht Allianz auf eine gewisse Disadvanzung. Sie haben einen tollen Job in stabilisieren lange genug für die 3rd Pyke zu kommen. Die Problem ist, sie sind noch ein Spieler, wenn sie in die Position sind. Sjp2 dann able, um in für ein komfortabel 3rd Party zu kommen, und das bedeutet, dass Allianz, für die 2nd Spiel, in der 2nd Spiel fällt extrem early. Frustrating 1-4 Allianz, Sjp2 kommt als die 1-team zur Verfügung.
00:17:28 Ja, ich habe einen Sparrow. Ich habe einen Sparrow.
00:17:59 Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier.
00:18:28 Frustrating times for Alliance there as you can see from that fighting mill not going their way and if you wanted the frustration to be compounded Well this game number three does exactly that 17th no KP again for them and you can see Hackett's not dealing any damage effect only getting 66 damage out usually tells the story but it doesn't really tell the full story of what happens they wrap towards the south side once again on the trident they actually spot a player out who on the scan who is separated from his team so decide to jump in the trident boost towards him
00:18:57 Und sie bekommen den ersten Knochen. Die Problem ist, Hackes wird dann in eine Fuse-Alt, wird 2-Tappen von einem 30-30-Repeater. Es wird dann in eine 2-V-2 sehr, sehr schnell. Und von einem 3-V-2, ein 2-V-2 wird dann ein 2-V-0. Allianz verliert das Kampf auf Edge, das ist etwas, was sie so, so gut an. Also, ein bisschen Frustration und ein Hangover von der vorherigen Kampf, das wirklich tut sie hier. So Allianz, Stormpoint, Woes.
00:19:23 You can see why it was, but it's just one of those things, Rain. It's a frustrating start, I think, to a split when you have three games like that, where you feel like you're putting the pieces together, and then it's a mistake from not just one player, but everybody taking their turn. So Alliance did manage to get it right and pull it back on E-District, but Stormpoint was not a good showing for them. It's a great analysis because it shows some of these little things and how they make big differences, and it's a correct way to assume that...
00:19:51 These things aren't always going to happen. But sometimes when they do, it's not the fault of getting these macro things wrong. It is sometimes the fault of a little bit of a delayed or look at your map for checking out a beacon scan and knowing where to land on an evac tower. And it's just as simple as that. And it's something to correct. We know Alliance will bounce back for sure. But some of these teams that are fighting for these spots who want to be regional finals winners, who want to take the top spot in EMEA.
Teamvorstellung und Rückkehr von Hardeki
00:20:17
00:20:17 They can't afford to make many of those mistakes at all because the championship being in Sapporo in January is on the line. Let's meet the teams today. I spoke a little bit about a doubleheader. We had a single weekend last weekend. It's the doubleheader this weekend for Group C. So you're going to see Group C in action plenty, of course. And when you look at Group A and Group C and you just look at the teams here, tons of talent from Alliance to go next as well, who split some of the ways light.
00:20:46 Das Team ist nicht ein Teil von Apex Legends. Henschmin und Kinda ist auch. Aber das macht Blast und Lufka in der gleichen Zeit. Und natürlich, Na'Vi, wie man nicht darüber reden kann. Wenn man diese Crew, die heute spielen kann, kann es auch einfach gehen.
00:21:08 find a couple of mistakes like they did last weekend yeah we've got some current world champions we've got case when he's new roster which happens every single split it seems we get another one shallera will be on our screens i'm excited to see what they can do but we're seeing familiar faces we're seeing new faces like mark was talking about but a team that i'd like to focus on will be nvmi and that's because we are seeing a returning face in hardecki now yes he did sub in a little bit during split two last year but he did leave
00:21:37 He said he was done, he moved off, and we were kind of saying goodbye to the Grim Reaper, but now we've got Hideki back, and he's...
00:21:44 mit einem Röster, der er hat, oder zumindest ein Iteration aus, was er mit. Denn remember, Nine Impulse und Kazak waren mit Oirein, und sie waren sehr erfolgreich in der E-Sports World Cup. Ich glaube, sie waren 11th in der E-Sports World Cup, sie waren 6th in der E-Sports World Cup. Sie sind ein Röster, Hadecki ist nicht nur ein Team, das wird in den Mid-Ground gespielt werden, sie sind auf der top der Region. Denn wenn Hadecki war, Hadecki mit Nine Impulse,
00:22:13 Sie waren ein Team, der war dominiert Amir. Aurora waren immer dort. Sie waren absoluten, slobberen all over jemanden, die einfach nur ein Teil der Pushe, und sie waren einfach nur um sie. Es war so viel Spaß, das waren die ersten Teams, die wir in dieser Region hatten. Und tatsächlich, sie waren wirklich gut in Scrims, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team, sie waren ein Team.
00:22:40 Yeah, I mean, you look at, you know, the squads here, obviously, Oireen and Hardeki and Nine Impulse, former teammates, you know, that split, trying to find the balance yet again and maybe a little bit of, you know, camaraderie in a different way. I will say, though, you know, is Hardeki just waiting until he sees Lifeline played in Pro League, then he comes back in because that was the last time we saw him and they were running around getting level three care packages in like two minutes and Red Evos in like three. Now Lifeline's back in a little bit, a little different.
00:23:09 Albeit, I will say, however, Hardeki is back as well, guys. And if you don't know, by the way, you got to go and search up one of these clips. You guys cast over it. It's Hardeki's solo win out of the most ridiculous scenario. It is a treat. Watch it. It's about two minutes that will not be wasted. One of the best reasons that we've called him the Grin Reaper moments like that. He's back. We'll see if that ends up working out. And if he makes another clip...
00:23:34 That means we've got more ways to share it with you. I've already plugged our Play Apex eSports channel where you can catch all of those VODs, shorts, conversations around the ALGS. But if you follow us on Play Apex as well on X, you'll get the notifications on when we go live, who wins, recaps of the match days, and especially now, even more content on Instagram and TikTok. That's right. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok.
00:24:00 We know you have one. Don't pretend that you don't have one. So make sure you go over to our ALGS platforms, see some of the content, some of the fun moments as well that we'll be sharing with you on those new platforms and support. Guys, it's exciting. You know what this means, though? It's my time to say goodbye. Time to say hello for both of you as we get into game number one here in Split 2 on weekend number two and see who takes the start of the race. Go ahead, guys.
00:24:26 Let's do it then, Dan. Welcome back, my friend. It's good to be back. I am full of beans, as we like to say over here in the UK. Just to remind you, because of course you're in the US now, that's what we say. You're allowed to say it still for a little bit, but it's good to have you back, man. It's good to have Apex back, and I'm really excited about how I meet you today. Thanks for giving me a good day of action.
00:24:42 Yeah, I think there's going to be a lot of exciting storylines, a lot of rivalries that are coming into this as well, which can be enhanced by the POI draft. Like, are you going to be competing near a team that you don't like to play against? Are you competing against a team that typically plays a little bit more aggressive and you just want to kind of scout round, get to a harvester and be on your way, but they're trying to take the fight because they want to get the early EVO just through damage? There's a lot of things that could happen in the early stages of this series, and I'm excited to see what does go down.
00:25:08 Well, we mentioned Stormpoint Alliance. Well, we have Stormpoint in the rotation today, but we're not going to see it in the first three games because we are starting off on old trusty World's Edge today. So three World's Edge, three Stormpoint for us to get through here in Groups A versus C. And I'm just excited to see who steps up today. Last time that we had a match day, you saw so many different winners across the board that just showed maybe there was a bit of, shall we say, a bit of rust from a little bit of a breaking competition. Maybe it was just a lot of teams stepping up to the plate.
00:25:37 Vielleicht gibt es etwas anderes, dass wir wieder sehen können. Aber Worlds Edge ist wo wir anfangen, Dan. Und wir schauen uns auf unsere Draft. Ja, die Draft ist immer ein sehr interessantes Punkt, um zu sehen, wo die Leute prioritisieren. Will sie versuchen zu versuchen, etwas zu bekommen?
00:25:51 Early on World's Edge, going into Stormpoint later on, you can see that GoNex, for example, they had their early pick, they went for Skyhook West, but it looks like the first and second picks were actually over on Stormpoint instead. Sometimes World's Edge isn't as prioritised as much as Stormpoint, because people feel like there are a few more POIs that you can work with, whereas Stormpoint, you get kind of...
00:26:11 Und du kannst dich in eine sehr schwierige P.O.I. zu versuchen. In terms of competing mit Teams close to one another, obviously Skyhook East wird von Passion sein, so es ist möglich, dass Gonext ein bisschen mehr Konfrontation in der Nrw ist, aber sie sollten auch gut sein, um es zu spätigen. Und ich bin auch noch zu sehen, was passiert in der Nrw ist. Es ist 07 in Stax, Navi wird mit ihnen sein.
00:26:36 ist definitiv ein Kampf, zwei Teams, die sehr gut an engaging, wenn sie das Initial Damage bekommen haben. Und in einem Meta wie dieser, Marc, das geht aus Ihrer Punkt, über Allianz und ihre Struggles in Stormpoint.
00:26:48 Es ist eine sehr unvergültige Meta. Du kannst einfach fallen über. Du bist so glücklich als Larry. Du denkst du bist gut. Und du getrennt. Du getrennt. Du getrennt. Du getrennt. Du getrennt. Du schaffst. Du musst dich auf deinen Beinen. Du musst dich auf deinen Beinen. Du musst dich auf deinen Beinen. Du musst dich einfach fallen und machen deinen Team in ein 2-3-2.
00:27:07 Ja, du musst dich sehr, sehr vorsichtig sein. Es ist eine sehr, sehr schwierige Meta, besonders auf Rotation. Du kannst es so schnell machen, und du hast nicht erwähnt, den Charger Rifle. Ja, ich versuche nicht zu. Ich weiß, dass du mich in einem guten Mood bist, aber du hast nicht erwähnt. Aber ich sage dir, mein Rule of Thumb in Ranked-Games ist, wenn jemand mit dem Charger Rifle in den Charger Rifle ist, dass ich mich in den Charger Rifle habe, hat sich zu ändern, denn es fühlt sich wie es 4, 5, 6, 7, 20 von ihnen auf mich gefühlt. Und ich still refuse zu picken, Dan, denn ich bin ein Mann von Honor.
Meta-Diskussion, Team-Zusammensetzungen und Spielbeginn
00:27:36
00:27:36 You're also on Controller, so there's no expectation for you to be on Charge Rifle, I don't think. I'll put a three times of the two to four on that. I'm still getting aim assist. Don't worry about that. I'm just, you know, I'm a man of honor. I will run any other gun. It's not your playstyle either, let's be honest. I think to be a Charge Rifle player, you have to be a certain kind of breed of player. Nothing about you. That's what I'm saying. If anyone, any player wants to complain about this, I'm going in early here. Feel free. DMs are open. Send me a DM. I will argue with you until my face turns blue.
00:28:06 Du und Monsoon können ausprobieren. Ich bin sicher, dass er ein großer Fan von any sort of sniper rifle ist. Er war cool. Er war cool. Niemand war cool. Jetzt ist es einfach so, was er. Jetzt schauen wir uns die Mitglieder in diesem Lobby. Mal sehen, wer wird in der Lobby spielen.
00:28:29 in Hiyaka and Ugxako on Na'Vi. And then you've got Killaway, Wales, a team who had a pretty good performance last week, Dan. Another one of those teams who maybe fall into that conversation of a region rebuilding. Yeah, some players that are looking to try and make a name for themselves and become the top of EMEA, perhaps. A team that I was going to mention when I was talking about Hard Decky, but I kind of threw myself with some of my verbiage used. Interesting use of slobbering earlier on, Dan. Slobbering came out. Don't know why, so here we are. Anyway, Pop.
00:28:58 Oirein, Taskmaster. Of course, you've got the fallout of what happened with the previous team. Oirein was competing alongside those Aurora boys, but sadly, I don't really know what happened. I don't know if there was some love lost, but either way, this is going to be the first time we're seeing Pot go up against MVMI. We've got teammates who previously were together, and they're actually dropping very close to one another on Stormpoint. A different situation on World's Edge, but on Stormpoint, there could be a couple of early fights there.
00:29:24 Also, ich möchte mich an, Nate. Ich habe viel über ihn in den letzten Monaten von Apex Legends. Ich denke, er ist wirklich ein von den Spielern we're talking about für ein paar Zeit. Panicke war ein von den Spielern, wo er wirklich einen Namen für ihn hat. Und ich denke, Nate ist wirklich ein von den nächsten Spielern in einem Meter. Ich denke, wenn man das so etwas anderes macht, dann wird er auch ein von ihm sein. Aber ich denke, Nate ist wirklich ein von den nächsten Spielern, in einem Meter, der sich in der Reihe zu tun. Ich denke, wenn man das so etwas anderes macht, dann wird er auch ein paar Zeit.
00:29:54 Just waiting for the lobby to get restarted, everybody. We might have a few of these today. Hopefully not too many, though, but it does mean that you get to look at Dan's shirt a little bit more. Which is great news. I love it. It's very interesting because it looks like... I'm going to, you know, just say what I'm going to say here. You look like you have a lot of stocks and investments. Well, I don't. I know you don't. Rain Day looks like he would run a pop-up candy store that would sell, like, homemade, really good candy.
00:30:23 What do you think of that? Do you think that's valid? I think actually Rain Day does have a candy store. I don't have a lot of stocks. There he is. See, look at that. You just know that man's going to sell the best sherbet. Lollipops, anybody?
00:30:38 Ich möchte jetzt zu Rain Day's Candy Shop jetzt. Vielleicht ist das der Stegmann. Ich kann sehen, ich kann es passieren. Ein bisschen Pop-Up-Store, Rain Day's. Du gehst, jeden Wochenende, ich gehe. Cash-only business, though. Cash-only business. Es war eine Sweet Shop I go to every day, und ich fühle mich Rain Day wäre der perfekte Manager für es. Anyway, genug über Sweet Shops. Wir werden über Apex Legends sprechen heute. Vielleicht, wenn wir, wenn wir, wenn wir auf die Boatsen später gehen können. Aber ich denke, dass...
00:31:06 World's Edge to start here, Marc, is always going to be a comfortable way for these teams to begin. I think that sometimes when we're on E-District, when we're on, you know, Broken Moon, for example, when we were on even Stormpoint, you can get quite sporadic games that are a little bit all over the place, quite hectic, quite fast. But I think World's Edge is your tried and tested, very true to how Apex Legends is played. It can be slow, it can be methodical, you can hit your ring consoles, you can get into a building, you can ease your way into the series a little bit.
00:31:35 But at the same time, you don't want to allow easy points to kind of slip through your fingers because World's Edge, yes, it can be slow. But if you make one mistake, like you said, on rotation, suddenly then you're 20th, 19th, you get no points and you're then looking towards Stormpoint instead. Yeah, I think it's one of the, I feel like the meta at the moment is really zone-centric as well. I think if you get a zone that you have good priority, you have to make the most of us. You just, you simply have to. You think about some of the legends that you have, controller legends you got.
00:32:02 Kaustik, der schon immer wieder ist. Du hast Watson, der schon immer wieder ist. Die zwei Characters in sich, die zwei Legends in sich geben, wenn du eine Priority Position in und über die Zone in der Bühne hast. Also, auf dem Weapon Meta ist, Charger-Rifle 30-30, sogar die Scout auf dem Moment, das ist absolut schrecklich. Es ist so easy zu geben, dass es so einfach zu geben.
00:32:23 you're gonna be in a really really good spot add on top of that some amps as well if you pick up some bottomless flats you don't have to worry about your meds the same can be said with the overflow you don't have to worry about the meds so much all of that med management that backpack management that used to be so important kind of takes a little bit of a side here so i think that if you get zones here and you don't make the most of it it is going to haunt you even more than it normally does but dan gaskett everyone at home the good news is we're in a game number one
00:32:51 We are amongst it, we are amidst it, we are into it. We are scrambling, in your words. We are drooling at the prospect of some good gameplay here. And in scrims we saw Caustic banned Game 1 every single time. And when these groups were competing, by the way, he is just, like you said, has been buffed. It's so prevalent here.
00:33:14 Everyone seems to be playing him. You almost have to play him if you want to be able to compete when Caustic is in and around these games. So expect to see a lot of smelly boys here.
00:33:26 Und es wird interessant sein, mit dem Evo Harvester, er hat sich schon wieder ein paar Buffer geändert. Das macht es ein bisschen einfacher zu sehen. Du hast nicht 3 oder 4 Teams versucht, auf den Evo Harvester zu verändern. Und du hast das kleine Evo Harvester, aber du hast das kleine Evo Harvester. Aber du hast die Zone da, und es ist schon mal Day 1 Apex hier. Wir sind jetzt in der Mitte der Welt. Und für jemanden wie MVMI, die du highlightedst mit dem Return von Hardeki...
00:33:51 Und F.U.L. neben dem. Es ist eine Ring-Console vielleicht zu kämpfen, aber F.U.L. ist die nur die Team zu kämpfen, aber M.V.M.I. auf der Rückseite ist, muss ein guter Hinweis sein. Ja, und M.V.M.I. sind beide...
00:34:02 A versus C and B versus C scrims that they competed in just a couple of days ago. They were finishing top three. They were finding wins. So I'm really excited to see what they can actually do here today. And you did see 95% of the lobby is on Caustic. We have 19 Caustics in here. So there is going to be a lot of barrels. There is going to be a lot of buildings that are going to be played. But of course, Caustic will be banned going into the next game. Alter, second there, 17 picks. So a lot of similar compositions, but it's about what you add to that. For example, do you go for a little bit of Sparrow?
00:34:31 You were talking about Alliance and, you know, Hack is struggling to see what happened on the radar because he got knocked because they got shot while he was trying to hit it. But if you've got someone like a Sparrow, you can hit it from distance, you get a lot more info. My question to you, Dan, is who is the Chad team in this lobby who isn't running Caustic? That's what I want to know. And is it NVMI? Because that would kind of, you know, historically feel very similar to what we've seen them playing some off meta stuff in the past. But on dogs, on their way, barking.
00:35:00 So am I miss a slobbering down towards the center of zone here? All right, that's the third ring. That's the one and we go strike. Okay, fair enough. Yeah fair enough Maybe I'll save it. I'll get one more in later. Don't worry. Yeah, okay Give me at least a two game break and I'll be happy. Can't promise that So we were talking about the difficulty of rotating in this meta and that's why a lot of people are taking a lot of safety here as well using any cover that is available to them there
00:35:27 Also, you've got to try and get an Evo Harvester early before teams try and fight. You can see a lot of these teams have already got up to blue. They found the Evo Harvester. You have to be instantly looking for them when they spawn up, because there's not necessarily going to be as many as there used to be, and they can be more difficult to actually find. We need that play being made by BCGO here. They want to try and, of course, get into center zone. It's going to be a lot of playable spaces, so this is going to be a very, very exciting...
00:35:53 Game number one here for our viewers at home, you wonderful people. Of course, for the players as well to try and navigate. So just a highlight, by the way, for Na'Vi. Already in a great spot for zone. Sometimes we do see that zone pull down towards outside of the building they find themselves in. But two purples and a blue this early on in the game. Gotta feel pretty good for them.
00:36:12 Ja, es gibt ein paar Teams mit ihren Armäumen bereits. Ein paar Amps haben auch gefunden. Du hast die Bottomless Batterie gesagt, dass sie immer noch immer die Heels haben. Infinite Ammo ist so gut, wenn du einen Spieler findest du bist, ist es für deine Light Ammo. Diese Amps haben wirklich verändert den Flavor des Spiels. Du musst ...
00:36:32 Just assume that the other team is going to be either having power ramping, just getting abilities back faster. I mean, if you're playing something like a Newcastle, for example, we've seen how powerful power ramp could be. But there's going to be a lot of different things you have to consider, especially in the late game, about what you're going up against. SLR here playing in the trenches just outside of green. Ballstick in the composition here, which we get for them. Hold this spot down, very difficult to push. Those barrels popping.
00:37:04 Still 20 teams left in the lobby. We do see a knock coming in. This is actually happening a long way away from where the zone is at the moment. This is over a countdown at the moment. It's nameless and go next. It feels like the res is going to be trying to be attempted to be stuck. But Leigh's taking a nice off angle here. Knox Gas comes in. 60's apiece, but not enough really to get that knock. Now he has to port through and they're going to port out of here. So nobody going to be successful in this particular fight. Although...
00:37:34 Mirage d'Etoile ist, wo sie fliehen, auch. So Gonex könnte denken, aber sie haben einfach nur einen Allianz gesehen. Das ist etwas, was wir oft sehen, die Leute campen in andere Menschen. Du kannst nur 3 Kills finden, wenn du ein Team empfiehlt in Allianz empfiehlt. Vielleicht haben sie nur das gemacht.
00:37:52 Nameless, goodbye. First team out of the lobby today. Allianz starting off very, very strongly here with some nice KP almost being donated to them. As the players did take that portal, as you say, Allianz were ready to take that fight should it have appeared. Allianz moving from Thermal towards Zone at the moment.
00:38:12 Und ich denke, das war ein Wettbewerb für sie, ehrlich gesagt. Ich glaube, das war ein Wettbewerb.
00:38:27 He needs help. We've seen 2v3s happen. Hackes is trying to heal up at the moment. And Unlucky is doing very well to be a nuisance. He's being very difficult here. But now the push is going to come in and go next. It looks like they've got the chunks. And come Hackes, get away now. He's going to have to try and escape. Yeah, Hackes is out there. He's already left. He did not want a piece of this fire. Another gun, by the way, that we should be highlighting a little bit that I've seen become somewhat popular in recent days is the Spitfire. It is just so consistent. That mag is enormous, Dan.
00:38:56 It is a huge mag. And you can fire so many bullets. When people are trying to peek corners as well, you could just suppress them and just hold those angles so, so well. And plus, damage scale, it just scales. It feels like, you know, it's very good at switching from one target to the next, especially if you're on an M&K. It feels like you could just put consistent damage without letting go of that trigger. KLWL, by the way, the team that's not running a core stick. They'll be playing Lifeline Ash Sparrow. I love it.
00:39:24 Love different cops coming through, and that lifeline certainly could be valuable. Yeah, could be valuable though, especially when we talk about a meta where, you know, you can get picked off, you can find yourself just getting chunked by the 30-30 from distance. Sometimes that halo can really help you stabilize just in the middle of nowhere, where you get the full surrounding rather than just like a castle wall, which is only going to be 180 degrees, right? So yeah, very exciting to see what that can do. And I agree, yeah, we saw a lot of the Spitfire, especially last weekend as well. I was quite surprised when it did happen, but...
00:39:52 The amount of mag you get can be very helpful, and especially against Newcastle Wolves, if they come up as well. I mean, even Caustic Barrels, just being able to blitz them down. Alliance back up to three, by the way. Just about managed to get back, and they're heading back to Mirage of Troyes to regather what's left of their loot, by the looks of things, as one of their players goes down towards Harvester to collect yet another Evo Harvester. In the background, we hear someone charging up a charge rifle. Just feathering it down. It's a Jaco.
00:40:23 Did that give you any sort of concerns? How did it make you feel when you heard that noise? Everything went slow motion in black and white. Mark jokes, but genuinely I've played games with him where as soon as he hears a Charger Rifle even being charged, he just launches himself at them. We have to punish them for using the Charger Rifle. At LAN, he may be punishing players for using it during Pro League. I'm a bitter man.
00:40:53 Du kannst ein schönes Lippe, eigentlich. Und Jacco ist das mit der Charger-Rifle in den Händen? Ich werde es an das. Jetzt muss ich ein bisschen weitergehen. Wir haben jetzt schon ein paar KP2, der Name, auf der Fight with the Lions. Das ist ein Wohlbounds, aber es geht nicht mit dem PK-Shot. Das ist doch, das wird die erste Schild-Break.
00:41:14 Utility being used in this situation. The Bangalmutter is down as well. The Rolling Thunder coming through. There's Caustic Gas as well to try and step through. The Henchman, he's going to find two of these. He might find all three with this off-angle.
Frühe Spielphasen und Team-Bewegungen in Game 1
00:41:26
00:41:26 Game 1 ist immer ein bisschen hecht, speziell mit der Ancourstik in der Lobby. SPS wird erledigt, aber Navi wird überleuchtet. Aber sie sagen, nein, wir brauchen es, wir gehen zurück zu unserem Portal. Wir sind in einem glückliches Ort, und wir werden das Weg bleiben. Wobei Gonext, sie müssen noch ein bisschen weitergehen. Sie jetzt nehmen die Sitzung zu dieser Zone. So sie werden hier alone, apart von Allianz vor ihnen.
00:41:49 They might not be aware of that just yet. They probably saw the dropship coming in from the res, so they'll know that Alliance are somewhere, but I'm not sure they know where exactly Alliance is coming from, but you can see they're coming through tunnels here. This is one of those situations, this zone was being so busy that playing for Zone 3 is pretty tough. You can see that Alliance have managed to do that. They've managed to hit a ring console to find where Zone 3 is going to be, and it could potentially pull out towards the little rocky formation, which is just to the left of Hackers' POV right now. They're going to be forced to...
00:42:18 Try and push Gonext away in this situation. Maybe looking for a port through to get some damage down.
00:42:27 In der Void Passage geht Hackis. Und da ist ein Skynade. Ich hoffe, dass er sich große Werte sehen. Und Allianz geht es in diese Kampf. Noxgass geht es auch. Oh, ein Chunk ist auch zu Beginn, aber er ist schon wieder zurückgegangen. Es ist ein Battle der PKs und Unlucky ist der 2-2-2. Noxgass geht es in, der Effekt ist jetzt auch. Und Hackis ist jetzt noch zu Paule aus hier. Aber ich glaube, ich glaube, dass er nicht zu weit entfernt ist. Und das Zone...
00:42:52 Es wird sicherlich sein, 1 Minute und 8 Sekunden, um das Zone zu verlassen. 1 Player wird wiederholfen. Ich weiß nicht, ob wir vielleicht nicht mehr über das 1.0. Aber sie werden nicht mehr über das 1.0. Sie sehen, Taskmaster und Crew haben sich auf den Positionen geholfen, die Allianz hatte ein paar Minuten. Ja, Sie sehen Pop, einfach zu versuchen.
00:43:12 He's sneaky here. They heard the commotion, they thought there was potential for a third, but that gunfire very quickly dissipated and now they are just gonna have to retreat back to trying to find somewhere to play. They will have the entirety of the western side, but it's very open on that western side. Difficult to get into the fragment area because of all the windows that are available in the buildings as 07 are gonna be a little further southeast. There is one team behind them.
00:43:36 Looks like Pot are still walking up on this. Actually, GoNex continue their aggression. They've been very aggressive this game, and I think they know they have to be. They can't afford to just let this zone force them into nothing. Instead, they are trying to take the game themselves and push teams when it's available. Interest to see the zone is actually pulled back to a more central position towards the courtyard. It's just outside of the lava river running through the middle of the POI.
00:44:00 So for Go-Next, as you can see on the map, Overled to your left. Actually, not in the worst position here. Think about all those teams who are on the northern side who are going to have to move through each other. You would expect 18 squads to go down to probably single digits when that zone does close. Not this zone, but the one afterwards. 30 seconds left, though. They're not quite safe at the moment. Go-Next. And Pot are taking a look at them. Alliance, somehow, managed to reset and get back into zone, but they are taking damage from multiple angles.
00:44:28 Es ist eine Ruffelgabe für Allianz so far, aber es wird weitergehen. Ich würde sagen, dass es vielleicht es geht hier, aber es gibt einen großen Schuss von Effekt, aber vielleicht muss das Team zurückkehren, aber es geht weiter.
00:44:46 You can see how much being delayed by one fight not going your way can really change your game as well.
00:45:15 Es geht um die Roteation, es geht um die Chance zu beaten Teams zu bestimmten Bereichen. Und du musst wirklich auf jeden Fall versuchen, auf jeden Fall zu retreiten, um wieder zurückzukehren zu werden. Sadly für Allianz, es ist ein Early Exit. Und es war all auf der Backen, um, auf dem Spiel auf Mirage Etoile zu machen, aber es war die Aggression von GoNext, die wirklich verletzten Allianz. Priest ist schon in.
00:45:39 Ich habe ein Charger-Rifle. Ich habe ein Charger-Rifle mit ihm. Ich habe ihn mit ihm. Ich habe ihn mit ihm. Ich habe ihn mit ihm. Das Erste, das Erste, der sie aufbaut, muss ich aufbauen. Das ist in der Mitte der POI, der Moment.
00:45:56 It's fight or flight time.
Mid-Game-Action und Team-Entscheidungen
00:46:23
00:46:23 in der Norden Seite des Worlds-Edge. Du musst entscheiden, ob du dich in die Zone gehen, oder ob du dich in die Zone gehen? Passion geteilt wird in die 70er Position geteilt. Navi also geteilt in die Killfeed. Trojan wird überwachsen. A PK-Shot wird sie in die Zone gehen. Absolut. Looking für die Reset, aber die Zone ist geschlossen. Hasterly behind sie. Und sie haben die Vornexis. Und die Portal-Back. Navi und Jakko.
00:46:51 Das ist großartig hier. Die Zone ist stinging weg. Und Navi wird nach dem Lobbys. Wir sind nach 14.
00:46:59 SLR, Trojan, UAM, Zipline Mafia sind alle auf der Norte, aber es wird alles schnell verändern. Sie sehen, alle fallen wie dominos. On-Dogs geteilt, 12-Squads jetzt noch bleiben. Ja, Killer Whale ist weg, On-Dogs ist weg. Er wird die nächste Part der Animal Kingdom, so es wird es nicht mehr so gut. 12-Squads jetzt noch bleiben. Es gibt noch weitere Fortschritte hier und hier und hier in der Construction-Buildung. SLR wird die nächste Phase in diesem Fall. FLL ist noch alive, Trojan.
00:47:26 Ja, das ist 07 vs. GoNex für den Southen. Die zwei Teams sind in der Zone kam zusammen, aber leider nicht, die Team kann wirklich vollständig sein und beide sind auf. Sie haben beide stabilisiert ein bisschen. Und das bedeutet, dass beide eine Chance haben, in diesem Final Game und Final Circle, aber alle anderen Teams sind auf der Norte.
00:47:55 Both reset. I think if you win that fight as either team, you'd potentially win this game, but they'll have to go back for next. Uem have just been eliminated as well, as we do find ourselves now in single digits. Naxx flies through with the RE45, but he gets chunked by a Peacekeeper. There's a one away from Zane, though, to try and follow up. Zane should be able to stick the res here onto Naxx. And indeed, we'll actually be credit with the kill as Taskmaster will go down. Ori-Range still trying to pressurize FaZe here and look for some extra PP on the outside of this building.
00:48:24 So difficult as well with the amount of alters in the lobby. You could just get portaled from anywhere. You've got to be very much on your toes. And you've got to be prepared for anyone just joining a fight, exiting a fight, accidentally bumping into you with a fight as well. But FaZe Clan have stabilized as well. Round 5 is now going to close. And there's just so many Caustic barrels as well. You turn a corner, you're going to get gassed. Oh. Swinny just catches. The lights there, but the EMP is going to drop those barrels as well. And Swinny...
00:48:52 He's still on his back as Sherb was trying to get some of those barrels down. Nate Inshallah trying to reset him, trying to stay strong enough to get back involved in the fight in a few moments time. Inside of that building.
00:49:03 Envy might have managed to get back up to 3 somehow or other here and phase it down to 2. Make that 1. Cynetic back against the wall quite literally here. It's gonna be on this eastern side and now maybe just try to get EMP off before you go down. Go out with a little bit of a bang, a fizz, whatever. All the meanwhile Gonext have been able to take the majority of space here. Sadly 07 get eliminated so they win the Battle of the South.
00:49:32 Und jetzt geht's weiter, sie commanden die gesamte Brücke. Und wahrscheinlich die Favoriten. Und jetzt sind die Spiel, die wir hier haben, Marc. Almost desirvendlich so, mit der Aggression die sie gezeigt haben.
00:49:59 F.U.L.
00:50:10 A team that could be a threat here is Trojan. They're on the outside of the building. Here they are. All the other teams are kind of competing within that building, or at least on the eastern side, whereas Trojan have been able to stay away from all this commotion. Four get eliminated and are going to be in fifth place, so four squads now remain. And it's really going to be go next versus whoever survives this northeastern mess, which should be Trojan, but...
00:50:38 Schalala, vielleicht haben sie einen Play in dieser als auch, kommen aus und Pusher aus dem Bildung.
00:51:06 This should be easy for Gonext. It's gonna be so difficult for whatever team survives this to take the fight because you're gonna be weak, you're gonna have lost players, you're gonna have lost health and now Gonext will push in and they secure a victory that is well deserved after a very aggressive game but aggressive at the right times. They took fights against teams that they felt were in weaker spots and they find themselves in one of the most dominant positions for the endgame.
00:51:29 Very, very impressive stuff there from GoNext. Like you say, it felt like the game plan was executed perfectly. The big fight for them, the big moment I feel was the engagement with 07 and they ended up coming out on top of on the southern side of that zone and around the rocks and the tracks. By winning that, they took so much space and, you know, you put yourself in that position, you're that good a team, you aren't going to lose that one. So very impressive from GoNext. Not just points, Dan, not just a win, but a huge amount of KP as well.
GoNext's Dominanz und Strategie in Game 1
00:51:54
00:51:54 Ja, und ich denke, es wird erneut sein. Sie werden erneut sein mit Confidence zu diesen nächsten Games. Sie sehen, sie waren mit Confidence in Game 1. Sie nehmen das Initial-Fight, die Team-Port war weg. Usually, wenn ein Team-Port war, ist es so, dass sie gehen. Aber dann, sie sehen, Allianz hat den Kampf gegen sie. Und sie sind so, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, 30 Punkte in Game 1. Das ist massive für ihre Chance in dieser gesamten Serie zu kommen.
00:52:23 Whilst, yes, it's early days, but that is a big points total, which is not easy, typically in these lobbies, to get that many on the ball. Yeah, I mean, what an impressive performance was from them. I think a couple of things went their way, I will say. You know, they got into a great position by winning some fights, but I feel like the zone pulling away from where a lot of the teams were banking it on, ending up, gave them the opportunity to pick up so many extra KP in that endgame. So I think go next.
00:52:51 Gameplan was great, but I think they were also going to be very happy to see where that zone shifted that just gave them the opportunity to put even more points on the board than they probably would have expected. Here's some of your top performers from the last game as well. Henchman with nine kills. Sherb with three revives. You can see Light going to be the Warlord and the Wingman. He's got both. He's greedy. He's greedy like that. Greedy indeed. Well, good news if you were not a fan of the amount of gas that was on World's Edge. Caustic's going to be banned going into game two, but also still going to be very prevalent. There's going to be a lot of portals.
00:53:19 Wir sehen uns, wie wir es sehen. Wir werden sehen, wie die Final-Circle geht. Wir werden sehen, wie wir es sehen.
00:53:40 Pretty much impossible to win if you're down on this low ground. I mean, look how spread they were as well. They did very well at commanding the space, watching angles, making sure that no one was going to be able to kind of walk up for free. I mean, Light's position there, just showing presence, but not too much presence. Fires a few shots, but doesn't want to take the fight, doesn't want to get knocked. For example, we were talking about it, you know, you can get knocked very fast. You don't want to give anyone an opportunity to climb up onto you. And then that kind of initiated all of the gunfire that happened on the south. And then, of course, a rule of thumb.
00:54:09 Wenn der Kampf stattfindet, es gibt nur drei Teams, ihr habt zu starten. Und sie hat es perfekt. Es ist auch eine der Situation, dass ich in die Endgames habe, wo es nur eine Endgabe ist, wo es nur eine Endgabe ist, und dann hast du den 2 PK-Shots gesehen, wie du gesehen hast, wie du von der PoV in der Endgabe hast. Und du denkst, gut, gut, gut, wir haben den Spiel. Anyway, wir gehen jetzt mit einem Phänomenal 30-Point-Game-Number-One, der perfecte Weg zu starten für sie. Wir werden sehen, ob sie können das Form in Game 2 kommen, in Game 2.
00:54:46 Small w sending drain fire for the door to come second and source gaming will get a win left standing here and we're about to see who is going to get the w the game
00:56:43 Was ist dein Mount Rushmore of Apex Legends? Okay, so me for sure, Asu, Wig, and I gotta say Russ.
01:14:11 Ich habe noch nicht gehört, aber das ist die Fan von Crayzie Raccoon-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry-Sehry
01:14:29 Oh, SMGs.
01:14:58 Ich werde einen Assault Rifle aus. Ich werde einen Assault Rifle aus. Ich werde einen Assault Rifle aus.
01:21:02 Wattack! Wattack! Wattack! Wattack!
01:21:40 Mein Gott. Mein Gott. Did I just watch, brother?
01:22:18 That boy just hit a drive-by leak from how many meters?
01:22:51 So let's take listening with CC. I'm just dead, I think. I'm like 99% sure I'm just dead. You guys need to leave me. You guys need to leave me and go deeper. Come to the shack, come to the shack, come to the shack. Tell me. I have Moby, I can grab his banner. If he does. I might be able to crawl in. Aping, Aping, Aping, Aping! Full reset! Get Spice in!
01:23:32 ja ja ja ja
Lobby-Neustarts und Rückkehr zu World's Edge
01:23:59
01:23:59 Welcome back to the ALGS. Thank you guys so much for hanging with us. We have had some lobby restarts, as most of you probably noticed, if you've been checking across Twitch, seeing some of your streamers have to get into those lobbies and get back out. We are working to actively resolve that issue, but as of now, we're just going to be waiting until they can get into a good game, and then we're going to be covering it. Right now, it seems like that game is here, so we're going to jump on in. And Mark, that is a good sign, because it's more World's Edge, and go next after their win with 18 kills. Going to be feeling good about jumping into the next one.
01:24:28 Probably the only team sat waiting for this game to start, who were happy. That's what I will say. It's nice to sit there and just reflect upon everything that went right in that previous game. 30 points they put on the board with the win and the 18 kills. Caustic banned, though, with the first Legends that we won't see for the rest of today. And match number two, as you can see, is indeed live. We're back on World's Edge. You talked about Caustic a little bit during our break. I mean, we talked about everything during the break as well. And those conversations, we encourage you guys to have them in the chat. How are you guys liking this meta? How are you feeling about some of the characters?
01:24:57 You can't mention characters in Meta without talking about Caustic Mark. He's been so good, so strong this last patch. And I feel like for many people, even me, who admit to not really playing a lot of Caustic, I've had to give him a try and say, wow, this is a character that needs to be taken seriously. Yeah, certainly my second most played Legend, I would say. And it's going to give me plenty of time to talk about my second most played Legend as we unfortunately have another Lobby failure. As you say.
01:25:27 We will do our best. We'll let you know when everyone else who's smarter than us has done their best to get the games going once again. But yeah, my second most picked Legends for sure this season. Obviously an Ashe main always will be until that enough goes away. But yeah, when someone steals Ashe from me, which is how I see it. Yeah, exactly. Especially with the PK meta as well, it's just so strong. You get some barrels down, you pop the barrels, you can play in and around it. Even enemy Caustics can't get in your gas that are taking damage. And it's just so, so strong at the moment. It's not just...
01:25:55 in and around buildings as well you know you find any cover you throw a few barrels out and also you can yeet those things so far that you can just suppress teams and take so much space so easily so yeah for me caustic's been a lot fun to play um not so much fun to play against i will say i'm like if i'm in a building my health is slowly chipping away i'm like okay i'm playing against the caustic not quite so fun but certainly fun to uh to be in control of those situations playing it
01:26:18 As someone who's observed the Kaustik metas often through our Pro League, it's so interesting how certain characters can become oppressive in this way, but also freeing when you play them. And Kaustik is one of those that has that duality. He's very, very fun to play. You have such wide impact with your old, now with your gas canisters. And he's got a fun little mini game, which allows him to pick up not just two, like most people, in terms of their perks, but all four, if you do the right actions enough, and those actions come by.
01:26:45 by just naturally doing what you would do in any Apex Legends game. So he really does shine here. Also just so terrible to play against. And that's why I feel like we see him either in the meta or outside of the meta. Clearly a character now that has his data shine. But it's also allowed us to look at, well, what have they decided to do from a design perspective?
01:27:05 on other legends to either or to change. We saw watsons big pick up with the way that she's adjusting some of those things like her ordinances turn into arc stars into her main kit. But now we've se another legend who very popular alway driving the meta lately come back into the fray. Are we seeing enough of her power is really caustic
01:27:33 The show and for good reason. What's your take on Bangalore's input into this meta? It's usually a good indication when you look at a comp lobby, what's being banned first and earlier on, especially what's going to be a popular pick. That usually gives you an indication of not only where strength is, obviously there's other things that play into it, like console availability, controller legend availability, whatever that is going to be. That's such a unique part of competitive Apex that you need that information. But it's interesting, right? I think we've seen over the last, I would say, 6 to 12 months.
01:28:00 Ich denke, in Comparative, es ist interessant, weil wir nicht sehen, weil wir haben Legend banschen. Wir sehen uns sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
01:28:24 But then when you get to the point where everyone's starting to get buffed and everyone's getting stronger and stronger and stronger, you're still going to have these incredibly strong legends available throughout the six game series like we have in Pro League now. So maybe the question is like, where's the line? Like where are we down here in the development stage? Like where is enough power enough? And it's an interesting conversation to have and contribute to because, you know, I'm sure everyone has their own opinions. Yeah. And, you know, somebody is got to also from their own experience, check out if what has happened.
01:28:53 So far has worked and what hasn't. I feel like these things naturally occur as well because you see moments where you say, you know, sometimes we get to this position of a finals lobby or a tournament lobby basically looking exactly the same. We had three, four, five years of that in Apex Legends where we figured it out and we knew what was going to be played, why it was going to be played and how it was going to be played. And then Legend Bands came in.
01:29:21 Das ist die Lösung für das. Und ich fühle mich, natürlich, das ist die Art of diese Entscheidungen. Du siehst du etwas, es wird prevalent genug, es impacts genug Leute, dann du sagst, okay, wait a second, wir setzen uns auf das, oder wir setzen uns die Herausforderung. Und unsere Pros haben wirklich gut gemacht, wie wir das Herausforderungen haben, und wir setzen das Herausforderungen an. Aber ich denke, das ist also, wenn wir an...
01:29:42 This season specifically, Mark, we go back to last weekend and we say 24 different winners across four different regions. It's never happened before. Maybe what we're looking at is an indication of where this meta has gone to where you can't really even, maybe it's too wide open. Maybe we have these things where we do need to figure out a way to corral it. Maybe the players will eventually come up with that solution or maybe we'll see it in another patch with some of the nerves, but it feels like there's so many ways to hurt you. It's very hard for a team.
01:30:11 Even as good as Alliance to combat against all of the different options that are available right now. Yeah, I think another thing that contributes to that and looking back at last weekend and not just where we are with Legend meta, but also with Weapon meta as well. I feel like playing Edge at the moment is very difficult in comparison to what we've seen previously. You're looking at things like, you know, obviously teams who are coming in later are usually going to have an EVA advantage, but you have great ways with accelerators and things like this to have so many things available to you as a zone team at the moment.
01:30:39 You can output so much damage from a static position with a 30-30, a charge rifle, a scout, whatever it might be, that it'd be interesting to go back and look at the data of how many of those teams won with good prior to zone. I feel like we're in a very zone-centric meta at the moment where being able to get to a spot and hold it down, especially with the strength of Controller Legends plus the weapon meta, is making it almost impossible for some of those edge teams to fight their way through.
01:31:06 Und ich denke, es ist ein schweres Situation. Wenn du ein Team auf dem Moment openst, und du sagst, hey, wir müssen auf den anderen Seite gehen. Nicht sehr oft, oft, oft, oft, oft, oft, oft, ich fühle mich, dass ich wirklich, da werden viele Teams werden, die werden können, dass du durch. Weil, wenn du ein Wettbewerb auf der Zone bist, dann wird es jemanden auf dich. 1.30.30, headshot. Das ist, du hast du gemacht. Der Wettbewerb ist so, so, so low.
01:31:30 If you look at Legend Bands as well, you don't have a Newcastle in your composition, which is going to be your strongest Legend available for a reset. All of these things contribute, and I think it's just tough at the moment. If you're an edge team, you've got to rough at the moment. If you're a team who's got to travel a long way, you've got to rough at the moment. And I think it goes into POI draft as well. That's why so many teams on Stormpoint are trying to prioritize places that have Tridents. Historically, that's been the case, but even more so now, just to get near zone, just to beat other teams there.
01:31:56 I mean, piggybacking off of that, we've seen some teams launch themselves at other teams to create a little distance on Tridents. We'll bring that up a little bit later in the show. But there's been some creative ways to close the gap if your Ashe portal is down or maybe you don't have an altar in that round. But I mean, even looking at last game where Go Next was one of the teams holding off Alliance, trying to head into Tunnel. And they did a great job with the presence that they had of just shutting down Alliance's opportunities to make it through the choke that we had.
01:32:26 Das ist ein Meta, das zu schatteren die Angelegenheiten, von unseren Mid-Season Play-Offs, sogar in Split 1. Und sie werden zu sagen, ihr wisst, die die Rulebook aus, die Rule-Set aus.
01:32:53 We're making up the rules as we go because there's so many different ways that this could play, so many guns that could kill us. We just got to take the best choice, believe in ourselves, and work with the plan that we got.
01:33:03 The one thing you've always got to do in Apex Legends at the competitive level is be able to adapt to whatever is being thrown at you. And most of these players are the best in the world for a reason, because they've got the ability to do exactly that. But it's looking like, and I have my fingers, toes, and anything else that I can cross at the moment, that this game is going to be good to go. We are going down towards Lava Siphon by the looks of things. That's why we're seeing a little bit of action already for some of these teams who are dropping it in and around this POI. Love a little Lava Siphon.
01:33:32 As a rotation, Pot, trying to get away from a little bit of that damage that was starting off. It could be so dangerous, as you mentioned, just to go down early, kind of slow your rotation in that early run, and then obviously slow you down. But it's a little bit of Oirein and Hardeki against each other. Pot, NVMI, doing the battling here. Former teammates now trying to take the upper hand in this skirmish on the top side of World's Edge and Fragment.
01:34:03 Es gibt ein bisschen mehr Respekt, es sieht aus wie Hot will werden durch den Tunnel und werden durch den Choke getrennt, bevor sie noch mehr zu tun haben. V.C. G.O. hat sich noch mehr zu tun. Die Geo hat sich auch noch etwas zu tun. Es gibt nur die White Armour zu spielen. Ich denke, sie wollen einfach nur die High-Ground machen. Vielleicht spielen für die Survey Beacon, die nur die Evo auf. Aber nur die Evo auf. Aber die Location des Team ist.
01:34:27 Und der Setup wird hier unten geblieben. Erlone ist ein guter Job, um ihn aus dem Situation zu werden, damit sie nicht getrapt werden. Als wir schauen, wo das Zone ist, wird es gehen. So Siphon wird hier sein, aber ich glaube, ein Team wie Na'Vi, die auf der Top-Side sind, ist gut. Die Volt-Online wird sehr gut als auch. 07 spielt die Bildung, aber wir können jetzt auf das Low-Ground gehen, als wir jetzt auf die High-Ground transferieren.
01:34:51 Showing off with that PK Kadoo Taskmaster. Putting Phoenix to Task. Taking him down with a couple of shots there. Oirein on the follow-up. Should be simple to slice them and dice them there. Phoenix will be the sacrifice for the squad to get away. But will they be able to get away? Oirein trying to make sure that's not possible and endorse. That's the final endorsement there. They go down and that's the first team out of this lobby as the Fragment skirmishes continue.
01:35:21 Team, es ist nicht zu werden, sie wissen das für sicher. Sie haben die Asch, aber sie haben die Fuse und Krypto.
01:35:50 Er ist mit der Top-Player Charaktere, so far gerade jetzt. Und so können wir ein bisschen Rhythm mit dem Echio auf den R99 sehen, das ist gut zu sehen, dass er wieder in dieser Meta ist. SMG ist alive und well, und so ist Hardeki, die Grim Reaper, zurück zu claimen ein paar Lives hier, wenn er kann. 60, Roman, 9 Impulse, das hilft, das eine aus. The Hemlock ist nicht fast genug, aber Hardeki ist noch auf der chase.
01:36:14 Very interesting for me in this meta at the moment. You see people like Imperial Howe on Watson, you see Hardeki on Watson. It almost feels sacrilegious to see these incredibly talented mechanical players on these more defensive-minded legends. But he's going to have to do something special here. He does get the gen down, which is going to allow this shield to regenerate as he pops his battery behind the knockdown shield. And in fact, he's going to stick this res as well. So looks like Envy might... Excuse me, we'll be able to get into position.
01:36:41 so make me reset here is nameless will be taken out you ain't looking to move in now to the southern side of harvester to clean up some of this damage and they're gonna have in my in front of them so difficult you aim try to get in there their timing was good but they realize it's all for naught as they do not have the space it was a good reset by hardecky he didn't waste any time and you aim don't want to give that up at all as they take aim with the charge rifle i can feel mark shivering just at the thought of it
01:37:09 But it is still alive and well. I'll get over it. I'll learn to live with this at some point. It's just a weapon, man. It's just a weapon in the game. You got this. I'm leaving you. It's more than a weapon. It represents so much now. More than a weapon.
01:37:24 Go next here as well. Team Wood 1, as we take a look at the map, rotating very, very late. They'll run into Pot potentially as well, who survived that early skirmish with NVMI, who found their way now into Harvester next to Alliance. I'll be at Mark, who you've talked about having a slow start. It was a slow start in Game 1. Continues to be a little bit of a risky push as well, as all of this action has brought Hockey down to his knees yet again. Unlucky, just barely with the Rez from Newcastle, and trying to take a little bit of space here as they've been under fire.
01:37:54 Charge rifle coming in as well. You can see how suppressing and oppressing it can be. Unlucky has to Scarper away. Does a good job there. Doesn't have to expel his Q. The mobile shield will still be available if they need it, but Alliance. Gonna connect with some shots here with the Spitfire. As I mentioned, if you're on M&K at the moment, this is a very, very valuable weapon to get in your hands just for the consistent stream of damage that it can output. Again, a little tough rotate here for Alliance.
01:38:23 They've got NVMI to their north. They've got UAM holding them out on the tracks to the south as well. So they will have to fight their way into Zone 1's Moral Alliance. Historically, it's been something they're good at. And again, we talk about the weapon matter. We talk about general matter. A little bit tougher to do for them in these circumstances.
01:38:38 It's just a difficult spot to play as well. And that's kind of the hard part about starting without momentum. When you start in this way where you need a win, you need things to go right. And then you just get a natural thing that happens in the game that's just a little bit tough to handle. You could feel like it's more than just a tough rotate. You could feel like maybe this is the day gone wrong yet again, especially after three maps as well. World's Edge is where they've got to figure things out and go into this next three set map as well with some points. And I know that that's something
01:39:08 auf der mind of Hockies. Wenn jemand kann das und diese Leute fokussieren, dann wird es unser vorbeige Champion und eine der besten IGLs, die meisten IGLs, die wir gesehen haben in den ALGS-History gesehen haben. Speaking of consistency, Gonext Stain in ein guter Spot, 30 Punkte in der Name. Sie weitergehen, aber wir gehen mit SLR, ASCII, um die Crew zu halten. Sie sind unter einiges Pressure hier, als auch.
01:39:32 We'll be able to stick the res here. Jen is down as well, so Asi is going to be having his shields regenerated while he's sticking this res, and they will be able to just about be safe. They will be safe inside of this zone. Fuzzface moves up with the portal to see if he can get a little bit of damage down, maybe find a cheeky kill before returning to the rest of his team. It looks like the answer is no in that circumstance, but never mind that, especially in a busy POI. You can portal around and see if you can find some angles for some extra KP. SLR will be able to reset here. Should be safe for quite some time.
01:40:04 Und das ist der Vorteil von Watson. Als Charakter, sie hat immer sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr zu buff. Part der Grund ist, dass sie das, was du musst, um, in Apex Legends zu gewinnen. Sie hat ein Bild, und du musst in die Bildung, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du,
01:40:30 Ich denke, das ist eine solche Zeit, wo sie die Differenzane, Nags und Nettek sind. Sie wissen, wie gut sie sind als Trio sind. Und so ist Allianz. Und sie hat sich auf den 9 Impulsen als auch, folgen durch Alter Portals und Void Nexuses. Es ist ein bisschen wie, um sich jemanden durch den Multiverse zu holen. Es ist eine schwierige Herausforderung. Und Allianz hat sie gesagt, aber sie waren auf die bessere Ende der Trage.
01:40:52 In these void passages, it's no longer about looking left and right, it's about looking at every single piece of cover that surrounds you, every single piece of geometry and waiting for that portal to open up and for players to appear through them. Alliance now, against Go next, on the edge of zone.
01:41:07 Damage being taken by GoNex. They're going to pull through there. They're trying to send it on to Unlucky. And boy do they. Through that Void Passage. And managed to flood onto him. Hackage from distance with the Spitfire. The suppressing shots coming in. Effect is here. And GoNex will be taken down. Alliance do win that fight.
01:41:24 Und gegen die Hardgo next haben wir so viele in der letzten Spiel. Aber es war schwer. Ich meine, das ist ein perfekte Beispiel. Sie waren in einem schweren Platz, aber das ist ein schlechtes Plan. Es ist besser als ein guter Plan. Sie haben alle alle die Tide und Allianz, vielleicht als ein Resultat, fallen wieder zu den MBMI, die Hände in die Zone und zurückkommen.
01:41:47 als die Grim Reapers selbst zu nehmen, was viele considerieren die beste Team in diesem Lobby. Es ist Uaim auf dem Backend. Schex und Max Strafi. Und Max wird wieder mit einer Alter Portal und einer Alter Portal. Und das wird es für Passion. Und jetzt K-Sweeney, inshallah, in der Mix, ist es auch. Sweeney hat sich ein Spitfire und hat sich ein paar Finishes, dankz zu den PKer Nate. Ich sage dir, man, das ist ein bisschen speziell.
01:42:20 Now they find themselves just inside of the zone. Navi trying to hold this spot that they've held for so, so long in this game. Rez coming in now. Ochako trying to get the ramp up. Ward's back up, having been brought to his feet by Slab here. It's interesting to see what this zone does pull. If it pulls away from the POI, which he usually does. Or if it actually pulls under towards Command Center. Kachuk's coming in from Slab though, which is going to hold off some of these teams trying to take the space around them.
01:42:44 Showcasing it again, just what it's like. Cha-la-la, Nate, he said he was special. It's a special moment. Right there for Nate as he cleans it up. SPS eliminated. Case Winnie also down there by the charge rifle. On the other side, but Nate keeps it alive, and it looks like that might just be short-lived. Slab and Ayrga surrounding Nate. It was good.
01:43:08 Aber es ist nicht das gut.
01:43:30 Doesn't give you a lot of room to miss Kraber PK, but when you do hit
01:44:00 Will you change the game? Adam, that's the type of player he is. He's been special as well. Talking about him, him, Nate, Kaisha. Some players that have really stood out over these last couple of weekends. Anemia. See who takes the final lap here. Synetic seems like he's gotten caught. Won't get trapped here by the Ash. Checks.
01:44:21 Die Leiden der Dollar Shorten, aber Passion ist in einem guten Ort, in einem guten Ort, in einem guten Ort, in einem guten Ort, mit dem 30-30s. Und es hat sich nicht mehr so gut gemacht. Aber so far ist es so gut. Und wir versuchen, das so gut zu halten, dass der Präsent beendet ist. Der Zone ist nach dem Blüten, wie wir vorhin schon erwähnt haben. Es ist interessant, dass Passion war, die für den EMP-Push haben, aber es hat die Drone broken.
01:44:46 Das FACE-Member auf der Ousseide hat, das FACE-Member hat es geschafft. Also hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Also hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen. Das FACE-Member hat das FACE-Member gewonnen.
01:45:13 Grab a ride. I wish we could do that in L.A. a little more often. Europe's got that much handled as well. So there's APAC North. And speaking of that, Passion. That Passion for all regions. Now lining up here for Ekio, who gets another nice little run with the R99. But they're in a tough spot. FaZe also rotating here. Everyone's trying to move into zone. Passion would barely make it in. FaZe Glenn as well on that edge, but not sure they like where they are. Might see some space in front held by Uaim and Sonja that they want to take.
01:45:42 Und das ist die Power der 30-30 hier, Marc. FazeClan wirklich gut ist. Es wird schwierig sein. UAM wird das Problem haben. Hiding ist nicht die Antwort. Und Sie sehen, mit der Re45. Oh Mann, das nicht aus der Ballistik ist. Aber die Charge Rifle ist immer wieder da, und es ist immer noch ein Problem.
01:46:05 Nags will go down. Face did a great job initially to win that fight. It was a really strong swing from them. But again, just the suppressing fire from the 30-30s, the charge rifles, whatever it may be, just allow them to reset here. And VCGO will move in from the digger truck to move those kills towards the column they want them to be in. And that's, of course, going to be theirs. Na'Vi, look at the amount of space they have on this side of the zone, by the way. We'll be slightly moving away from the position they find themselves in.
01:46:31 Everyone else in front of them is going to have to move and that is almost guaranteed placement points just through the position that Na'Vi find themselves in now. Elsewhere you can see up on the high ground, you've got Catch and Son. Catch, excuse me, Billy holding down that high ground. Don't want to try and push that one unless you've got an EMP going off to take those down those Watson fences. I've just respawned Priestess as well, so players being brought back into the game. And actually this zone is now favouring on dogs pretty heavily.
01:47:00 Down Dogs in a great spot here. Killer Whales in Round 1. Also, the team, even though Cybercats took a win, Killer Whales with 19 points in that Game 1 in EMEA were the stars of the show, just qualifying for Pro League and now making a statement right here. They're going to look to make one again. They're on the opposite side of things, but they've got to get through Zipline Mafia and especially Pot, who now are a full three on height. They can walk into zone here.
01:47:23 wenn sie nicht getrennt werden. Das ist die Sache. Sie sehen Adam, die P.K. aufgerissen. Nur zu versuchen, dass jemand der P.K. aufgerissen wird, aber es ist Prestes, der Fall ist. Sie können nicht wegnehmen. Ja, ich würde sagen, das eine Worry für sie ist das Team, die wir auf den Hite gesehen haben, ein paar Moments ago.
01:47:41 Das Neer ist Trix, der hat den Charger-Rifle. Er hat ihn auf. Und jetzt 07, er hat ihn mit dem Weg vor. Adam hat er viel zu tun. Er versucht, die Passez zu bekommen. Er wird in die Position zu bekommen, als Kishirra ist auf den Weg. Kassel-Wall ist auf den Weg. Er wird auf den Hecht sein. Er wird nicht mehr für lange genug, um die Reset-Hit zu bekommen. Adam hat es geblieben, also der Kraber ist aus der Play. Na'vi move in die Zone und ist zufrieden. Er ist zufrieden.
01:48:06 What a play by Navi. I mean, they have just been the masterclass watching their POV, the way they've moved all the way towards this zone, taking this outside and navigated being away out of contention and being able to pick up these little kills. It's certainly looking like they are going to have a big role to play as our 20 squads have shifted all the way down to nine. Zone six coming up. It is a true finale here in the ALGS game number two.
01:48:35 And it looks like it's going to be a fun one. Zipline Mafia underneath, holding down with the Watson fences, creating a lot of space down below and just poking. This is looking good for them as well and very difficult to siege. That's three or four teams on that side of the building.
Trojan's Gameplay and VCGO's Victory in Game Two
01:48:50
01:48:50 Trojan inside the building at the moment. Just looking to peek and see if they can pick up some KP here. 60 is going to be good, but it's not going to be great. Nono takes 108, which is the way we want to be doing. Nono probably is thinking exactly the same as his game attack says. Kind of now getting to have a little bit of a peek himself. 20 points on the board here for Trojan after two games. Find themselves in second place. Shall I say one in...
01:49:12 3.25-Games. Lifelong level goes down, the Halo in the middle as well, to try and buy some time and peek and prod of those teams leaving the building, but will he buy enough time as 07 are eliminated to hold the ground while these teams do damage to each other? Great spot from Killer Whales. They drop down with the Halo, as you mentioned. They force Zipline Mafia to fight away from their setup, and that puts the Watson at a significant disadvantage on Dogs at VCGO, two of the best spots in the game, and they fight each other here. The Newcastle Wall slamming down. It's all up to Billy.
01:49:41 Can he find a way? BCGO slowly but surely resetting. And you can feel like On Dogs are just trying to survive here. Navi just gone. Kilaueo's eliminated in the meantime as well. Billy just waiting. And seeing if he can peek.
01:49:55 Schilds are regenerating for him. He's going to have to stick this battery again. Does manage to get it off in the meantime. Trojan is down to Kainer. As we have three squads now remaining. This plot will be eliminated. This nade could go kill Billy right away. He's not looking. He's throwing it away from the Watson gen. That is saving Billy's life. It could give him a placement point as well. Billy goes down. It's on dogs who fall. It's Trojan and VCGO. It's a walk in the park for VCGO as they take game two. In Amea from the back.
01:50:24 Und boy, oh boy, start doing pushups and backflips to celebrate. I did the same thing myself. Unfortunately, I was off camera, but I can guarantee you that 100% happened. VCGO with a win in game number two. And I've got to say, worth the wait, even though it was a long wait to get this lobby going. Another fantastic, good quality game from EMEA in that game number two. VCGO with a...
01:50:46 We saw them clear our phase on the blue bins. They were controlling that digger truck and then towards the endgame as well. Just did a really good job of clearing out that southern side of the zone. A fantastic play for them. They've done a great job of navigating that endgame as well and one that they'll be very, very happy with. I think too, that side were all teams that really navigated the rhythm of that game well. When you consider that their fight...
01:51:10 zu gewinnen. Das war wahrscheinlich der Kampf gegen On-Dogs. Das war eigentlich 1.5 engagements. Sie hatten mit Na'Vi, aber Na'Vi hat nicht die beste Platz in der gewinnen. Sie hatten eine gute Platz in der gewinnen. Und es resultatet in 8.7. Es war wirklich was, wer könnte zwischen On-Dogs und BCGO, denn sie würde kommen auf der top.
01:51:29 Trojan, Kiner, they found a way to stay involved, but I really liked that they limited the decisions they needed to get right in order to be successful. That's a great start for a team like BCGO as we take a look at our top 20 here, going with 17 points and a clear first place from our winners.
01:51:45 Yeah, 16 points for Trojan as well. Good KP for them. You can see seven kills. They managed to pick up three for Kyna, three for Nono, and just a one for Attenham, but he'll be happy to contribute, especially with the most assists on the team. So certainly doing what had to be done in that situation. On Dogs, we mentioned how they were in a really good spot towards that endgame, and they managed to convert it into a third place from that platform just on the southern side, the southwestern side, I should say, of the POI. VCGO though, it is...
01:52:10 Like we mentioned, clearing out the southern side, when you're in a great position in endzone, sometimes you just got to be able to extend out from that position to clean up threats when they start to fight. And that's something they did extremely well. Trojan now moving to first place, though, with that second place in game number two. 32 points, overtaken, go next. Well, again, and on the other side of things, you know, Trojan, they were that team.
01:52:30 Partially in that scuffle. There was about six teams all around in that moment. And you look at Killer Whales, you look at Zipline Mafia, Trojan, all those teams coming from that area. And so Trojan was able to, you know, take a little bit of the risk, navigate that well, and find their way to shore. I like that this has put them now in the leader's position. Obviously, only two games gone by. But if you take a look back at that endgame, and we do have some replays of it, in VCGO, Mark, really, they did capitalize.
01:52:59 der Position der besten. Und das wird, über die sechs Jahre lang, die größte Unterschiede zu machen. Ja, wir sehen uns auf diese Final Moments zu sehen. Bilye, bei der Wettbewerb, ist ein sehr guter Job, um in dieser Situation zu leben. Sie sehen die Passive Health Regen kommen in, auch für ihn. Killer Whale ist erinnert, also mehr Placement Points von Surviving hier.
Strategic Gameplay and Team Dynamics
01:53:19
01:53:19 An enemy castle wall plus knockdown shields is constantly outputting damage as well not getting greedy for these kills another placement point gets picked up here as you can see FUL have gone down as well so little things like that if you're looking to take some notes away from today if you're playing some Apex Legends yourself just surviving in those situations when it feels helpless so important to do the same can be said for Kyna you know three squads alive here
01:53:42 Und ihr wisst, dass Billy hat einen wirklich großen Impact, nicht nur auf der Watsingen, sondern auch auf der Watsingen, sondern auch auf der Watsingen. Weil Kyner threw drei Grenades und zwei waren zappt von Billy.
01:54:00 We'll see you guys after this break, hopefully.
01:54:34 Und es scheint, vielleicht ist es ein Vorteil von LPI.
01:55:19 Ich weiß nicht, es wird ein schönes GenG-Viktor hier. Oh Mann, das ist verrückt. Boogie Boarders sind wirklich gut. Aber es wird so schwer, denn die Teams sind rotatig. Und es ist Team YK, die kommen in. Die werden geteilt. Alcat geteilt. Boogie Boarders geteilt. Es ist QoR versus GenG Esports. Und es ist Ziggy und Dexter, die versuchen zu bringen, für eine andere Win hier.
01:55:47 Ja, Team Mango will end up going down
01:56:43 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.
02:02:02 Wir haben ein paar Restarts, ein paar Issues in der Game und wir arbeiten zu lösen. Aber das ist wo wir eine Chance zu kind of sit back.
02:02:29 and really dissect the games. You know, of course, on set Gaskin here with me yet again. Dan had a bit of a break. Mark and I just casting that BCGO win. But you know, we're just three people here and we're better with more. We're better together. And that's why I feel like I need to bring in somebody who has been patiently waiting and watching and setting up for his next banger YouTube video. That's right. He is here. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. We found him. It's Jumba.
EMEA Region Rebuilding and the Importance of Experience
02:02:57
02:02:57 What's going on, guys? What's going on? You owe me 400 RP, Jumba. I lost another 400 after I stopped playing with you. So there was a theme. There was a theme. There was a common thread there. Dude, welcome. How are you doing? Well, we haven't seen you since midseason playoffs. How's life been leading up to split two?
02:03:21 Oh, it's been great busy. Soon as LANs end, I am just grinding, researching, watching VODs and editing every day nonstop. So, you know, there's only been one video up, but like there's more coming. There's more coming. Just there's always no sleep after LANs.
02:03:40 Very exciting, man. Talking about VK Gaming and obviously how they took a win. Check it out on his YouTube channel as well, JumboGW. And you guys can also make sure to understand that there is a lot of work that goes into dissecting these things. And that's kind of why we like to bring you on as well. I just want to set it up because we've got this new split. We've got this theme for EMEA that we were talking about earlier, which is that this team is trying to, you know, kind of find their rhythm again. They're trying to see how can EMEA
02:04:09 go from this region that has had these great moments, but then figure out how they can get back on top. I mean, what is your thought process on heading into now split two and champs? What AMIA has to offer ALGS as a region? Who are the teams that stand out to you? Who's just, after all that VOD review, that diving in, the roster changes, been your biggest stories heading into split two and of course beyond? Yeah.
02:04:36 Amia's got great stories. I'm sure maybe you guys talked about it, but we know like last year champs, it looked like Amia was the best region there. Like they had so much success, but then at our most recent mid-season playoffs, only three teams made it. And even the team that we typically expect to be on top, their alliance, like they finished around 10th and such like that. So it kind of felt like this fall from grace all of a sudden, but there's amazing stories always in Amia.
02:05:00 The thing I'm looking at right now with this road to Sapporo is actually some of those teams that are on just the cusp of qualifying.
02:05:07 And the ones I think of the most is like 07, Nasty Squad. What a storyline right there with last split coming together right at the end and almost qualifying for that midseason playoffs. And they're in that 34th position, so they can still make Sapporo, but they have to do good. They can't have any bad days. We saw an okay day from them on day one, but they need to keep working forward. Go Next is another one. The pickup of light coming from GG, a team that was so great now. I think he adds a lot to that roster and can help them start working back towards...
02:05:36 getting to land and hopefully accomplishing a lot more than they've been able to in the past. So that's going to be exciting. And then the other one was Roadhouse. As they pick up Blast, the return of him and Lufka alongside Aku. And these are just a bunch of exciting teams. They all fight well. We saw Gonex in that first game just absolutely pop off with 18 kills. So those are the teams that are on the cusp. Some of them are around the 29th, the 34th range. So it's a little bit dicey, but those are the ones I think are going to be the biggest watches for all of Split 2.
02:06:08 I want to jump in and ask a few questions here as well, Jumba. You know, we've been lucky enough to play some rank together recently. And I'm not going to ask about that because honestly, nobody needs to know about it. Let's talk about EMEA though. Let's talk about EMEA because I think it's very interesting. You know, we've been kind of using this phrase a lot, you know, your region rebuilding. There's been a few teams who have come through on a mid-season playoffs, especially you mentioned how it was a disappointing turnout in finals for them.
02:06:31 But there's a few new players and a few new faces who did make that final. Do you feel from watching this region and watching these teams develop that one of the biggest, most instrumental things for teams to go that next step is to get that experience under their belt, that new experience of those environments? Because I think everybody who's probably watching at the moment understands that a finals lobby is a little bit special when we get to these live LAN events. But getting to that lobby, the only time you get to practice that kind of lobby is getting there itself.
02:07:00 Do you feel there's enough experience been taken from that by some of these new players and teams that they're going to be able to go forward towards Japan and really put that experience into play and really just not improve themselves, but also the region in general in these Pro League weeks? Absolutely. Having the chance, obviously, now from my time being in this competitive scene, getting to ask a lot of pros, like the nerves of your first lane do hit. I've talked to them and a lot of these players have told me like,
02:07:26 Yeah, I was just in the moment, especially if they get to finals, they're like, where I finally felt shaky. There's other pros too, like they get there and they're kind of like a little ice cold or they have like that rookie, you know, first time LAN show up and they do amazing, but it's there. So as much as they get that experience, like the team that, you know, comes to mind when you're bringing up, like, you know, they went to midseason playoffs to be good with Citadel. Some of those guys have been around for a while, played at LANs, like noises and such, but they got 67th at the Open.
02:07:51 Then they got third in Pro League and they dropped third most kills overall. And then they go and they're the best performing team in EMEA. So that experience, having like now two lands under their belt together, you know, going into like this is Pro League if they continue to do well. They're a team that I would say is going to be my biggest watch from this region to...
02:08:10 be the one that could be like a contender for winning it all in Sapporo and be the next EMEA team on top. The best example that we could say, though, is is Navi, right? We saw that that's a team that made several lands over and over again, but they didn't make finals for a lot of them. They came 20th at last EWC, for example, and then they go on to win the biggest tournament we've ever seen with the most people in the crowd. So it's just getting those reps under your belt over and over, getting those nerves calm. And then Navi goes in like.
02:08:35 Now they're like a top contender always because they have that confidence. They know what they can do. So absolutely. Yeah. And you mentioned Jumbo about EMEA being on top back at Champs, but then of course the region kind of fell away a little bit. There is always going to be that break between the end of Split 2 and then Champs coming through. The meta could change sometimes twice, if not three times by the time we get to Champs. I know this is a loaded question, but how do you think that regions stay on top during that period?
02:09:02 Is there a meta that specifically is better for Amir? Is this meta, do you think, a little bit better for Amir with it being a little bit more M&K friendly, for example? Yeah, the Amir, like, you know, NA, I'll say, like, typically, I think thrives the most in, like, those spray weapon SMG-type metas. Not saying that they don't thrive in those shotgun metas, too, but Amir seems to do better when we have these, you know, the PK, a meta like that coming in and, like, really taking over. Now, Champs is still far away.
02:09:31 So I don't know what the meta is even going to look like then. So if it is like that sort of gun meta, that character meta, I definitely see that they'd be able to be one of the more better regions. But honestly, I think that team chemistry kind of like is what's going to be the most important for regions in general. And the fact that there's such a long period of time and these teams will get to like have more experience playing together, I think this is something actually for more regions, just like who's able to like build that team chemistry over the time of each region.
02:10:00 And be prepared for when they're there to actually push their foot forward. Yeah. You know, Jumbo, I want to ask you a question because we had a stat last weekend that was really interesting. Match day one gave us.
02:10:15 24 different individual winners of games. Now, that's never happened before. And for someone who's thinking analytically, you would assume there might be some form of causation to that. I want to say, whether you're right or wrong, because we don't know the answer, what do you think was the biggest reason we saw no repeat winners across four different regions? Was it the time away?
02:10:40 Was it this new meta? Was it the changes with Caustic and Bangalore and people don't know how to handle this? Was it the changes with the weapon meta and that it's just impossible to be as consistent as teams want to be now with the TTK going lower and lower? I want your thought and maybe you have a different idea. What's the reason for an anomaly like that in your eyes and what does that say about us heading into split two where the meta is right now? Yeah, when I saw that,
02:11:08 Ich glaube, das ist echt nicht so, dass das erste Mal passiert ist, in dieser gesamten Geschichte von Competitive Apex. Es ist jetzt schon wieder. Ich denke, es ist eine Kombination von alles, was du gesagt hast, ein bisschen mehr Zeit, aber ich denke, es war ein großer Schock, dass die Leute nicht erwartet, von den Schrims zwischen den Pro-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League.
02:11:34 der PK versus der RE-45. Du hast Ranked und ich denke, dass die RE-45 ist und ich denke, dass die Re-45 ist. Und die nächste Sache, PK ist die Gunn auf dem Topf. Ich denke, es ist eine Kombination mit all das. Der Bestes Beispiel ist Allianz. Sie haben eine gute ersten drei Spiele auf Stormpoint. Ich denke, sie haben 4 Punkte und dann haben sie 45 Punkte auf E-District. Und ich glaube, es war Hackes, der gesagt hat, dass er nicht bereit ist für die Fast-DTK.
02:11:59 Ich denke, das Schock hat Teams nicht wissen, was zu tun. Und so die nächsten Dinge, sie kommen in, zu spielen wie sie immer machen, und sie können nicht wegwerfen, weil es viel weniger forgiveness ist. Und wir haben Teams, ein bisschen mehr RNG, ein bisschen mehr, die Leute zu adaptieren, in die Momenten, und die Teams, die meistens kommen und 2-3-Games auf jeden Tag, nicht mehr zu werden.
02:12:30 Well, you know, it's interesting because you actually look at this idea that the repeat winners in Apex history, the TSM's, the Dark Zeros, right? That there is some crazy, when you really think about it, almost impossibility of that happening. But what's really the truth is that these players are so good, they figure things out in a way that they can have consistent results. But you realize once that one team like Alliance isn't winning two games, once, you know, the Falcons aren't winning two, three games in a row.
02:12:56 how even this playing field is and how who anybody can win in apex and so that really does i think make this a very exciting season exciting split and before you know listen before we kind of transition more i know mark and dan probably have some more questions or thoughts on that i wanted to play a little bit of a game with you while we're here we don't know when these lobbies are starting we're waiting for the start could happen any second want to play a little bit of a game now have you seen the game where it's kind of either or where we ask you
02:13:24 Which would you rather take in terms of Fraggers, Imperial Howl or this player? Have you seen that? Of course. Okay. All right. So we're going to do that with you if you're down. We're going to basically give you two players. I'm going to keep giving you another one. You're going to say one or the other, and we're going to then go off of that and see who ultimately is your ultimate Fragger. We know what some of the players thought you guys have seen on broadcast, but now I want to know what you think, Jumbo. You ready?
02:13:52 Okay, okay. And it's Fraggers, right? Are we thinking Fraggers? Yeah, it's Fraggers. These are Fraggers. Okay. Yeah, let's go. All right, here we go. Panic or Blast? Panic. Okay, all right. Panic or Pricey? Pricey. Okay, Pricey or Sang Joon? Pricey. Okay, Pricey or Alberlele? Pricey. Pricey or Verholst?
02:14:34 Verhulst. Okay, Verhulst or No Name? Oh, No Name is popping off the most recent LAN. Trying to let the recency bias get you. I'm going to still roll with Verhulst, but that's a tough one for sure. No Name is going crazy. Okay, Verhulst or Unlucky? It's another tough one. Wow. Unlucky.
02:15:05 Okay. Unlucky or QQ? Give me these Rapid Fire, baby. Don't even think. Unlucky. Sorry. Unlucky or Yucca? Unlucky. Unlucky or Yucca? Unlucky. Okay. Unlucky or Imperial How? Imperial How. Okay. Imperial How are Koiful? Imperial How. Imperial How are Effect?
02:15:27 Imperial Hell. Oh man, you're just that classic guy who thinks Imperial Hell is the best. Why do we even do that with you, man? You're just like every other Apex. Hey man, I'm Kenan Jumbo. Thank you, man. We got to go. The lobby is ready. Thank you so much for helping us spend some time. And again, guys, check out Jumbo GW on YouTube. He's got a great video recapping what just happened at midseason playoffs. Thanks, buddy. Appreciate you. Appreciate you guys.
Lobby Ready, Gunplay Analysis, and Alliance's Strategy
02:15:51
02:15:51 All right, Mark, Dan, that was fun. Good to hang out with him. Feel free to follow up on anything he said. But right now, guys, it looks like we got a lobby that's ready to go. So I'm going to send it over to you two. Hopefully we get game three underway here shortly. Yeah, hopefully. Fingers crossed, toes crossed, everything crossed. Dan, what have you got crossed right now? Everything? We'll leave it at that. Good news, everybody. It looks like the lobby is ready to go. It looks like the teams have at least made it out of the dropship and seem to be running around, Dan. So match number three, the last one on World's Edge, it's live.
02:16:20 They are boogieing and we have no altar. So if you're going a little bit cross-eyed trying to keep up with all the gunplay and gameplay that was happening previous with the amount of portals that were going on, it's gonna happen no more. But that does open up the option for...
02:16:34 Potenzial, mehr Ashe zu kommen. Obviamente Wraith kann auch ein weiterer Follow-up sein. Und Sie sehen, wir sind nach einer anderen Art, ein bisschen weiter nachher. Und wir werden sehen, viele Fights passieren in den Early Stages, um Lava Siphon zu sehen. Und Sie sehen, sechs Teams haben bereits gefunden. Ich meine, VCGO bereits balloonen zu einer der High-Ground-Positions, als Na'Vi geht in den Kampf gegen SLR.
02:16:56 Ja, gut shots coming in from that Mastiff. Goldbolt is certainly going to help the situation out. The Mastiff's certainly not a peacekeeper, but it can put out a good amount of damage still. Looks like they've done a good job of holding this height.
02:17:09 Das ist aber auch ein Momentary Armour Advantage, aber das vielleicht einfach nur ein Askei wäre. Ich würde sagen, mit einem Legend zu haben, dass etwas extra juice ist, wenn es zu den Shields gibt. Du siehst Geo, also Portaling Down, auf der Moment, auf der High Ground zu spielen, mit der Rampart in der Composition. Aber ja, eine sehr similar-looking Zone, die wir vorher schon gesehen haben. Es ist ein Stalaktites oder Stalagmites? Was ist das eine, die auf geht's, auf geht's, dann?
02:17:38 Am I asking the wrong person? Are you a geologist? Stalactites go down. They're icicle shaped. Stalagmites?
02:17:47 Die rocks, die von low zu high. Stalagmites go up. Ja, das stimmt. Ja. Ich denke... Ist das... Ist es die rocks, oder ist es nur ice? Nein, ich denke, es ist die rocks. Stalagmites. Ja. Okay, wenn es einen Geologist in den Chat gibt, dann können Sie wissen. Ich bin sorry. Aber es ist wahrscheinlich nicht der Weg. Das ist das, was ich zu sagen. Ich habe es gesagt, dass es so gut geht. Ich habe es gesagt, dass es so gut geht, dass es so gut geht. Ich habe es gesagt, dass es so gut geht.
02:18:11 Wo sind sie? 07! Das ist ein Team, Jumba hat gesagt, das ist ein Team, ein Team zu tun. Das ist ein Team, ein Team zu tun. Und es wäre sehr strange, nicht zu haben, die Natsuki und Koshira zu haben, zwei Massive Names. Und natürlich, mit Adam, das wirklich ist ein Roster, das sollte und könnte sein.
02:18:33 And they've been playing very successfully, not just today, but played well last week as well. But can they just put a few more points on the board here on World's Edge in match three as Alliance also going to be traversing down the southwest side of this zone. At the moment, there's no one there to challenge them, so they can force their way in. Yeah, Alliance will be a good priority to this zone. Aki's trying to get some angles on the team that's going to be inside of the truck at the moment.
02:18:58 Interessant to note as well, we talk about metas and teams who like metas and styles of play that will adapt well to this meta. 07, I don't think you could write a better meta for them. A team who has historically always put themselves, when you look at Kashera teams and even Nasky teams historically, being able to find good spots in zones and play that long game, they really have been very, very good at that. As you see, the benefit of the Spitfire Hackers keeps that trigger down and puts Kachulis back.
02:19:23 Ja, ich denke, ich werde wiederholen die Spitfire ein bisschen mehr zu sehen, die die Pros machen, aber gleichzeitig die Pros machen es besser. Die Pros machen es besser, aber sie müssen auf dieses Initial Knocken und sie versuchen in den Van zu gehen. Es scheint, sie haben genug Dammage gemacht, um die zweite oder die dritte zu gehen. Das ist die richtige Frage. Oh, Effekt!
02:19:41 Okay, Newcastle is still up. Unlucky is going to be dragging him back to his feet. The queue is down as well. So the mobile shield will get him covered just to reset and get a battery off here or a couple of cells, whatever it might be. And Alliance will be able to call the van their own. Elsewhere, we take ourselves over to Lava Fisher. Looks like Passion are going to be taking two of these guys right now. They've got the Ash Fuse Crypto Composition. Pretty aggressive when you're looking at it.
02:20:05 Aggressive and it's avoiding the bans. If I feel like Passion are trying to get with a composition that can stay for a little bit longer, Watson is going to be banned in this one or after this one, excuse me, is going exactly the same as Scrims did with Caustic into Alter into Watson. We've got 13 Watsons in the lobby, so expect lots of fences during this late game and lots of gens as well to stop those grenades coming through, but I don't mind.
02:20:28 People play in compositions to try and avoid the bans. I think it's something that's become very prevalent since we had the legend bans introduced into ALGS. And some teams do it better than others. Some teams like to play with the bans. They like to just go with the most meta legends and then they're happy to swap and change accordingly.
02:20:45 Der Name ist für den Moment, wie ein 2. Und tatsächlich, wie ein 1. Guss ist jetzt gleich, hier zu sehen, ob er seine T-Mail wieder in. Ich bin jetzt noch ein paar Kp-Available. Es ist wirklich sehr schön.
02:21:00 Stupendous Confectionary. Stupendous Confectionary. Ich habe einen Cracken Meatballs gesagt. Ja, wir haben uns jetzt schon wiederholt. Wir haben noch einen Laufsachen. Wir haben noch einen Laufsachen. Wir haben noch einen Laufsachen gemacht. Wir haben noch einen Laufsachen gemacht. Wir haben noch einen Laufsachen gemacht.
02:21:29 Und das wird in Dors.
02:21:38 Es war eine Brav play mit dem Wraith Portal, aber das ist meine Frage. Ist da eine Chance, dass du mit dem Wraith Portal getrennt?
02:22:02 This is where the zone is going to be going and it is towards where we presumed it was going to be going. So Alliance center zone at the moment, a great spot for them. UAim going to be playing the fence line. Everyone else is kind of stacked up on the western side of Lava Siphon that you can see right there. SPS is wrapping through on the south side though. Might be a little bit of a problem for Alliance who are playing the bottom side of those buildings. But Alliance in a really good spot here and this is the first time we've really seen them in zone. And we'll actually jump into a listen in with Alliance now to see what their plan is going to be.
02:22:32 Is there a climb up? I don't remember. I don't know. Like here? I don't know. Can you plug in? Yeah. Just counter-back Thermal a lot of time. One guy watching all the time. One guy watching Thermal always. I'm not trying to do the climb up again. Ramp on higher ground above me on the right side.
02:23:03 Okay, was that the rate TB für Kappen? Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja. Team hier, Team hier, Team hier. Okay. Damien, wenn ihr mich? Newcastle, cross your left. Yep, Team right here.
02:23:15 Ich habe die Brick, ich habe die Brick.
02:23:54 So, Alliance Center Zone.
02:23:57 All right, Center Zone. So the use and the proactivity of Hack is there to use the portal, knowing that they're not going to have to move for quite some time, just to go and collect a little bit more Evo from the brick that was available. So he's going to get his teammates or himself at least up to purple and everyone else a little bit closer to it themselves. I like that they noted the Pathfinder was in the lobby and they're like, what the Pathfinder? Threw him off a little bit. Again, just trying to be a little bit different. Trying to get a legend that perhaps you can keep for a little bit longer. Speaking of. Speaking of.
02:24:26 There is Pathfinder for Zipply and Mafia. There are four Pathfinders in the lobby, not just the one. So there are a few teams who agree that Pathfinder can be very beneficial here on Worlds Edge and perhaps leading in to Stormpoint as well, where those zips are going to be even more important. But at the moment, they're going to be on this northwest side. There is actually no one else with them in Harvester, so they're going to be fine.
02:24:49 Is there a Mythic Bin spawning next to them? I think there might be. Does Ziplomik Mafia potentially have a Mythic Bin, an uncontested one? Maybe, by the looks of it.
Mid-Game Engagements and Strategic Positioning
02:25:0102:25:01 Ein Gold Bin shows its form, right next to the Mythic Bin. Lovely supply of goodies. It's the perfect Christmas. What's your favourite Mythic Weapon in the moment? Kraber. There you go. They got double Lover Shields as well, so they're going to be able to get essentially two Red Armours out of this, which is going to be very, very nice for them. The ZipLine Mafia, one of the only teams we're going to see so far who might have a good chance to find their way in from Edge with a Kraber and two full Armours.
02:25:34 The amps being added are gonna be in a really really good spot Alliance will still be safe inside of this next zone MVM I have taken the tracks you aim still on that fence line will be safe as well Go next in and around tree playing on those platforms, but everyone else you can see at the moment still having to move their way through no actions happen so far and it's surprising actually to see Everyone so spread out at the moment. I think everyone know he's kind of trying to judge where the traffic is going to be But not really gonna have any options to find out without
02:26:03 Ja, das ist eigentlich eine in der Mitte der Lava Siphon. So, das erste Survey Beacon ist sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
02:26:23 Fazeclam ist nicht mehr zu nehmen. Ich glaube, Elati ist nicht mehr zu nehmen, weil sie über die 3rd-Party sind. Aber ich denke, ihr habt zu nehmen, wenn ihr durch den Choke geht. Und Fazeclam ist vielleicht vollständig von Zayn mit dem PK zu beginnen, aber hat sie schon zurückgegangen, aber hat sie schon zurückgegangen, aber hat sie einen Backen, aber hat sie einen Support. Er hat sie lange genug genug für seine Teammaten zu gehen. Und indeed, F.U.L. will be eliminiert. 15 Quads jetzt remaining, als der Pace starts zu picken. Sehr gut von Zayn.
02:26:50 Schmuck forward as well, so you can slide through with that PK and get some big, big damage down. Demo's doing a good job as well, you have to say, to keep him alive in the situation, having been that frontline player for them. I'm taking some damage inside of that truck. Killer Whales, by the way, has a two still alive here. 07. They're up as a three. VCGO, winners of our game number two. They're having a little bit more of an uncomfortable time here in game number three. They will go out. 14 squads now remain.
02:27:23 The pot stabilisiert hier. Ich meine, sadly, both players have gone down. Is there a chance for maybe using this Mobi? Does have one of the banners, but needs to get the second. Although, meanwhile, by the way, the zone is continuing to shift west. And actually, Alliance have found themselves in a good spot. Alliance may be taking a fight against 07 right now, and have been able to take down Natsuki. So they were able to force 07 out of this spot. And Alliance taking one of the prime positions on the map.
02:27:49 N.V.M.I. hat die beste Position auf der map, auf den Trainkarten, aber die Zone wird ein bisschen weiter weg von ihnen gehen, und sie werden noch in die Prime Position zu bekommen.
02:28:17 You aim in a really good spot, though, on that offence line. You have to wonder if they're going to be contested by a late evac. For now, they're in a really good spot. FaZe will have fought their way through to the zone, by the way, in fourth place in the overalls at the moment.
02:28:29 Und Zayn bleibt es ein bisschen busy. Und ich bin sicher, dass sie das auch erwartet haben. Sie haben auch die Zip-Line-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia-Mafia
02:28:54 Yeah, this is carnage. And Zayn just doing what he can to try and avoid gunfire. Maybe get a couple of extra placement points as well. If you get top 10, that's one extra placement point. And you might find KP. Especially when you can hit so hard with that PK up close and personal. If you can wait and catch someone off guard, you can very much get that extra point on the board. But that zipline was used. You can see Envy and Might are still holding the train tracks. I really like this position from U-Aim. They're also playing Watson. So they are going to be able to hold down that spot if they do get landed on by a...
02:29:23 Leit-E-Vac, as you mentioned. Go next. I've also found their way to the southwest. And now that could pose a real threat. As I say that, they get chunked from distance as well. I know it's going to be a push. Jacko did really well here. Some really good damage. Zone should deal with that final player as everyone starts to get desperate on the edge of Zone. Priestess.
Endgame Chaos and Alliance's Victory
02:29:40
02:29:40 Ja, MVMI will nicht in 10th Position geben, weil MVMI will
02:30:09 This train track, they don't want to drop, give up height, and someone else take it off them, because again, MVMI still have a chance to get good damage from above. They are still being a nuisance alongside 07's remainders, because remember, 07 got landed on a little bit earlier, but Kashira was able to escape. It looks like two of 07 are in the truck, as Alliance now being warped up on by SPS.
02:30:30 Sie haben Watssons, so es wird wahrscheinlich nicht möglich sein. Also sehen Sie die Newcastle-Castle-Wall ist in dieser building. SPF ist einfach zu spielen, und ich denke, Allianz... ...initially, wird es passieren. Aber wenn das Mobile Shield geht, dann...
02:30:45 They might think about trying to clear this side, but the damage coming from above means that SPS will be able to reset, be able to get those shields back, and now Alliance have to play this one slower. No Bangalore as well available to try and get rid of any fences for SPS. Hackers getting that chunk means that they are going to have the advantage, and they can just sit pretty here and watch everyone start to arrive as this zone is now closing. U-Aim have to move from the northwest. Go next, they're going to be holding this southwest side. Trojan have made their way center zone.
02:31:12 This is getting pretty ugly in the middle, but we have found teams finding space here. Eight squads still remain, but that's probably going to go down to about five or six into this last circle. This intersession pylon is so vital for the survival here of Gonex. No natives are going to be able to damage them. It's Gonex, though, who are just climbing up like little mountain goats to fire down upon them. That could be a problem. NVMI now down to one. Hardeki can't find the shield swap initially, but now does. Thinks about sticking this res.
02:31:38 Sie haben die Zip-Line für die Mafia gezogen. Kann sie stabilisieren? Sie müssen die fighten. Die R.E.45 wird die initiale Knochen. Die Excused hat erzielt, hat erzielt, hat erzielt, hat erzielt, hat erzielt, hat erzielt, hat erzielt.
02:32:04 Look at this one rat from SPS!
02:32:32 Er hat sich geholfen, aber er hat nicht geholfen von Allianz noch. Aber er wird schnell lernen, wenn er über die Röcke geht. Gonext wird ein paar Pop-Shots über die Zip-Blind-Mafia, als diese 5-Squads alle versuchen, wie sie best planen, um zu diesem Circle zu erreichen. Es wird sich näher zu Allianz sein, als sie die Solo von SPS finden. Und jetzt Gonext ist es, Sende in es! Efe gets one, Hackes gets one, es ist ein 1v1 auf dem Mountain, und es ist Allianz, die wird es! Gonext!
02:33:06 Trojan ist noch ein bisschen von Zip-Lite-Mafia.
02:33:31 Ziblion Mafia, Outputting Damage. No, no, Taken Down and no Shields. Atenham, he might be next as well. It's about who gets that first knock and it's going to be Fittu from Height with this Mastiff just holding ground.
02:33:45 Wink's gonna be popping that battery. PK's still in the hands here. He can play a little bit of a wider angle here on the bar finder. He's actually gonna get really aggressive here. I'm not sure if I like this play. Hold on. There's aggression and there's recklessness. And Zipline Mafia, who probably thought this was gonna be an easy endgame for them, now starts a struggle. Kinda is still alive as a solo, by the way. Do not forget about that. Gonex still have a chance in this game with this fight being extremely messy at the moment. Zipline Mafia have stabilized somewhat, though.
02:34:13 Und vielleicht haben sie nur genug gemacht, nach einem kleinen Moment.
02:34:40 Hier ist der Welt's Edgefall heute.
02:35:10 Yeah, they really are. I think Alliance, they played that game.
02:35:37 They played it well. If it wasn't for an aggressive push from Go Next, they might have had a chance in that final circle. Now, Rain Day, I mean, I know you were watching that one in the wings as well. It might be a bitter pill to swallow for Alliance that game because they probably felt like they could have won it, but I think they'll be happy just to put points on the board. Yeah, and again, a conversation Alliance is going to continue to have, and we're going to be at the...
02:36:01 at the tip of it as well looking at how they are in great positions doing what shouldn't probably would win in other metas but getting outpaced with these go next approaches these heavy pk swings and just getting used to what it's going to take to win in this current lobby zipline mafia though truly were the star of the show guys weak looking anything but
02:36:24 Absolut, deadly aim with the RE45 from distance and following up with, I believe, the G7 Scout or the 3030, whichever he had, it was working for them. And I love the way they were confident in taking those fights. And that's a big moment for Zipline Mafia is that win puts them into the conversation of now being third place, despite good showings from Phaseplan, a win from BCGO, and of course, strong but only singular wins for Go Next.
02:36:52 I mean, a placement game that we're going to probably be talking about, guys. 23 placement points from Trojan. Not a win yet, but they've found a way to stay into the top two. Marc, walking back, looking at this final circle as well, what went right for Zipline Mafia? Was that that original Zipline and that aggression that worked out so well for them? I think it all started from when they found themselves in the Mythic bin spawning next to them and the fact that they also got a gold bin that spawned right next to it. They were able to get...
02:37:19 Das war's für heute.
02:37:49 Extremely well.
02:37:50 It's a different way to do things. Usually we're seeing ash portals to get there and we're noticing the pace that that's come with. But Pathfinder does a little bit of that same thing. Maybe I'll be in a little bit slower, a little bit more obvious that it's coming, but still finding a way to transition to those high points, something he has access to that simply not every legend composition does. So Pathfinder, Zipline Mafia, staying true to the name, grabbing a win there overtly in game number three as well, guys, as we finally have a chance to settle after.
02:38:19 It's been a lot that has gone on so far over the course of these three games. But in general, there's been a lot that's happened over the course of these last two weekends. We kicked things off last weekend for match day one. We got match day two and three here this weekend. And so we got, of course.
Halbzeit-Analyse und Rückblick auf APAC South
02:38:37
02:38:37 Start our halftime with what you might have missed. I've stopped trying to say this as an acronym. I mean, I think why is really the way we would say it now, but I'm going to let that go. That's the last time I'll try it. But what you might have missed, guys, there's been a lot of fun happening over the course of this last week. And we mentioned Ash. She is certainly a character that's going to get you places. And I'm talking.
02:39:00 A lot of places, two ultimates, two dashes, that's great. But what happens if you don't have an Ash? How do you close the gap? Basically, I might just be onto something here with this next clip.
02:39:12 I will see if FaZe takes this fight. What in the f*** am I watching?
02:39:40 Oh my goodness, FaZe made the play they needed to. That triple Coggoose was crazy.
02:39:58 I mean, I'm all for creative solutions. That's how my brain works. So it's nice to see that. Unfortunately, that only works on StormPoint, where Tridents are available. But hey, maybe one day we will see Olympus in the map pool. You never know, guys. Dan's shaking his head. Okay, I think it's time to move on. Apex South. Take it back. All right, guys. Apex South. Mark, what's going on over there?
02:40:22 A lot is going on. We had a little bit of a double header. So we've got to catch you up, of course, all you wonderful people who understandably need to sleep between six and eight hours a night. Some of you even more. We'll make sure that you get that as well. But we'll catch you up because we had A versus C and we had the Boogie Boarders with very, very strong performances across the day from Apex South. They had a very strong performance winning back to back match two and match three. They managed to pick up 16 kills and not only that.
02:40:49 They found themselves in the top 3 for Matches 4 and 6 as well. This is some Boogie Boarders highlights for you. Still one of the greatest names, I would argue, not just in ALGS history, but possibly in the history of competitive esports. Dreamfire were also rocking a new roster, I will say. 3MZ, Bowlin and Zuzu, they showed up and they got second overall with two match wins in Match 4 and Match 6.
02:41:11 Und sie waren auch in der Top 3 für Match 1 und Match 5. Das ist eine besonders gute Leistung auf Stormpoint. So, sehr, sehr impressionante. Nicht zu einem 3rd Platz für drei Matches ist sehr, sehr gut overall. Als wir weiterhauen, die Boogie Boarders' domination haben, wir sehen noch mehr von der Wins kommen hier. Und das Match 6 ist ein, das gehört zu Dreamfire. Das neue Look lineup ist, mit dem Zuzu zu sehen, mit dem 30-30-repeater. Wir werden sehen viel mehr, viel mehr als die Woche gehen, natürlich.
02:41:41 A-versich-C-A-C
02:42:03 It wouldn't be APAC South if we're not talking about boogie boarding or sharks or burgers or some type of reference there. I mean, I'm glad we got to keep with the themes naturally. And of course, they're the reigning champions so far. VKG from, of course, that region representing midseason playoffs. So we got to talk about not just match day two, but match day three, Dan, what went down? Yeah, a doubleheader that's already happened because they're in the future.
02:42:26 I still can't really wrap my head around it, but alas, here we are. We haven't even done our first matchday yet. They've completed two. But it was TYK who came out on top.
02:42:35 In what was a very exciting series, a very close one as well. I think that there's always that expectation that a team could dominate, but it didn't really go down like that. The overall series winners were TYK with just one point over Gen.G. It was actually a last minute Match 6 win that allowed them to take the victory. They did kick off the day with a Match 1 winner, you can see. They fell off a little bit here in Match 2, but then the remainder of the matches, they kind of got a little bit better. They placed well for this match.
02:43:05 2 was the one that allowed other teams to catch up like gen g for example only losing out by one point is always going to be a rough way to experience your day because you want to just be able to close out but this was the matchsticks that really did push tyk over the line they needed to win they needed kills if they were going to be able to win this one so in this final 3v3 they knew this engagement was absolutely everything it was against saul as well a team that is not going to be easy to take on we know how good saul are sadly even with all the
02:43:34 von Rampart. Es war das Watt-if-moment. Als Schiele kam, war es nicht zu sein. Und es wurde TYK der gesamte Spiel. Und sie hat den ganzen Matchday. Es ist eine solche Dinge, dass man sich in Tabs auf, speziell für diejenigen, die zu sehen, wie diese Dinge aussehen. Ich meine, viele uns bleiben, die Amerikas und EMEA, die wir hier sehen. Aber so viele unserer Broadcast Partners und so viele dieser Spieler.
02:44:00 do these miraculous things and we gotta keep making moments in time to showcase what they're bringing to the table. Because of course you see VK Gaming lift the trophy and you say, why haven't I seen as much of these players? Well, now you're going to hopefully be seeing them throughout the split as we take you through what you might have missed. Of course, if you want to stay up to date with everything we're doing in the ALGS, that means that socials are your friend. I said
02:44:26 You know you have an Instagram and TikTok, and immediately the two people who don't have an Instagram and TikTok in the chat said, I don't have one. I still think 98 out of 100 of you have Instagram and TikTok, but I'm sure that most of you already know that without saying. If you don't have it, I'm talking to the two of you, this is your reason to download, okay? I know you may not be with it. I know you don't want to make a Facebook profile as well. There's a lot of stuff going on, but the ALGS is there. You're watching here. You're clearly a supporter.
02:44:54 Go help support there. We got exclusive clips and content coming for you on Instagram and of course TikTok. So check out the Apex Legends Global Series as we expand to more platforms and have a bigger reach to bring more fans together like you are as well. Take a look at some of the clips that we've got already. Trust me, check it out.
Diskussion über den ultimativen Fragger und Analyse der Map-Rotation
02:45:1302:45:13 Ja, okay. Who is the ultimate fragger in the ALGS? TSM Panic versus Gaming Gladiators Blast. TSM Panic. Panic or Pricy? From what I've seen of stats, I believe it's Panic. Panic or Crazy Raccoon Sangju? Panic. Panic or Twisted Minds Albelele? Albelele or 100 Thieves Verhof? Albelele or Wolves No Name? Albelele or Alliance Unlucky?
02:45:39 Probably Albe in that one. Very close one there. I know they're pretty even. Albelele or VK Gaming QQ? Albelele or Fnatic UKF? Albelele or Falcons Imperial HAL? Kinda go with HAL. HAL or Shopify Rebellion Koifull? I think HAL is the better fragger overall. HAL versus Alliance Effect? HAL probably takes over in that one. Who's the ultimate fragger in the LGS? TSM Panic versus Gaming Gladiators Blast? Panic. Panic or Pricy?
02:46:08 Panic. Panic or Crazy Raccoon Sangju. Panic. Panic or Twisted Minds Albolele. Albolele. Albolele or 100 Thieves of the Host. Albolele. Albolele or Wolves Nonate. Albolele. Albolele or Alliance Unlucky. Unlucky. Unlucky or VK Gaming QQ. Unlucky. Unlucky or Fanatic UKF. Unlucky. Unlucky or Imperial Town.
02:46:34 Imperial Howl. Imperial Howl or Shopify Rebellion Koeffel. Koeffel. Koeffel or Alliance Effect. Koeffel.
02:46:47 Unlucky or Imperial Howl, I mean, you know, that looked like Jumba trying to figure out the last answers on that one, man. I get it. You want to have the right answer, but that's the point of the game. You got to have those neurons fire. You can't think about it. Enemy, that was nice. And again, more content from your pros, maybe even your casters as well.
02:47:06 There on our Play Apex Esports IG and TikTok. All right, guys, it's time to start looking into our map switch up. We've got Storm Point coming up as well. I know we've got some POIs on the horizon. That means we need to start analyzing who got the better end of it, or maybe just what's the setup now that we see where these players are going? Mark, I'll give it to you. First thoughts as we get a glance at our three-game setup for Storm Point, where these teams will be starting off. One thing I always look at is when a lion's in a lobby, is anyone going to be
02:47:35 Das war immer interessant. 07 over at Downbeast. Das ist gut für sie.
02:48:02 Dan, I actually wanted to go back to you, Mark. I was just saying this to transition that Dan and I will start casting in a moment, but because you focused on Alliance and what went wrong, what needs to go right for them here as they start off again looking at Stormpoint, KLWL in their way as well, fighting over that Trident. What do they need to do to have success here? No silly mistakes. I mean, we did the analysis earlier on, just little silly mistakes. That was what cost them last time, whether it was getting knocked on a Survey Beacon, whether it was going down without damage in the fight, all those little things.
02:48:32 Also für Allianz ist es wirklich sehr gut, hier auf Stormpoint. Vielen Dank, Marc, für die Analyse. Und hier werden wir sehen, ob es die Dividenden für Allianz, die vielleicht haben wir schon gesehen.
02:48:45 Alright, Mark, take a break. Dan, it's time to jump into it as SP is calling our names. What's your takeaway here? We saw a little bit of those POI draft points and also the story of Alliance. How have they fared so far with you today, our big behemoths in EMEA, and how they've shown up in match day two?
Strategische Überlegungen und Team-Dynamiken auf Stormpoint
02:49:04
02:49:04 I think Alliance have just fallen victim to some aggression from other teams, really. And I think GoNext has been the team that's done them in both times, really, with sheer aggression. So it's just something they have to be mindful of, that we do have a few teams here that are happy to take fights. Whereas maybe in international scrims, those fights wouldn't necessarily be taken. We'll have to see whether that changes here, going into Stormpoint, as we get closer towards the conclusion of the end of this series, of course. Another interesting part of this map is going to be...
02:49:34 VMI being close to Pot just because of the history with those two teams. Oirein going up against his ex-teammates and they are dropping somewhat close together. So there is a chance that maybe they could collide during this game and the zone might actually encourage that. Pot have the chance just to kind of stay a Stormcatcher. They could head up a little bit further north and take one of the buildings if they would like to as well depending on where you think this zone is truly going to shift. SLR are going to take the buildings dead center.
02:50:01 But for the likes of SPS and NVMI, it's not a far rotation. They just have to dipset a little bit south so they can loot a little bit longer here and make sure they have as much as they need.
02:50:12 It's an exciting one as well. Speaking of that first point you mentioned, where Alliance, they don't have to run into GONEX, hopefully, at least to the very end of the game, as they are on opposite sides of that map. So you're right. They have been done in by what has been a phenomenal 45-point first-place performance from GONEX. But a team that I want to highlight as well, I mentioned their performance in Game 1 of Match Day No. 1 last week in EMEA. Dia brought this up, and they're just...
02:50:42 ZEUS-ZEUS-ZEUS-ZEUS
02:51:07 The one thing worth noting is one of the biggest kind of criticisms or was no criticism a highlight that happened with Alliance when once I was talking about it was But they weren't able to utilize that survey beacon scan meanwhile shall Allah try to maybe Just destroy the team on the trident going past that looks like they're gonna be aggressive as well I'll come back to the Alliance point a little bit after this fight because it looks like it might be a full-on engagement here as they are full on Sending it to try and get the kills due to form
02:51:33 And he's gonna hit all four almost. It looks like Nate misses one, but this last one could just do it. Rampart survives by the skin of her teeth. And now Nate deciding, should we push this? Case Winnie grabs one. It's Trix who goes down, inshallah. With the shield swap now for Case Winnie, looking worse and worse in this engagement. Catch gonna obviously go back up and try to make his way out. But inshallah, with that pressure, grab a KP. They grab a little bit of a scan.
02:51:59 Und sie bekommen eine Chance, um die Initiative zu pushen. Aber über die Hill ist GoNext, auf den Weg zu gehen. Da muss man sich auf die ZipLine-Mafia auf den Norden kommen. Vielleicht geht es hier auf was, was ein bisschen ein skirmes mit Allianz und KL, das wir schon erwähnt haben, und jetzt geht es um Allianz hier. Über die Hillen und Far Away, ZipLine-Mafia kommen zu spielen, aber es sieht aus wie Allianz ist...
02:52:22 So my previous point was that Alliance had Alter in that game where they weren't able to utilize the Survey Beacon because he went down and then he wasn't able to see anything on his map. Now we're gonna see Alliance running Sparrow because Alter has been banned. Also Sparrow is the most used Legend in this game so he's gonna be banned for the next one as well. So expect lots of arrows being fired towards Beacons as Na'vi firing Peacekeeper bullets towards SPS here.
02:52:44 Tons of stuff from Mojako, and it's the stuff that gets kills down, but not for long. Na'Vi starts off strong and immediately gets eliminated. That was how good it was in response. You could see that was a battle back and forth. These fights are really, really landing.
02:53:03 Und das ist das, was wir sehen, wie Allianz, mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K. mit diesen P.K.
02:53:32 Ich weiß nicht, dass die anderen zwei oder drei Spieler werden können, was schon gut gemacht hat. Und es wird schon sehr schwer gemacht werden, weil man nicht wissen, ob die Team, die wir vielleicht haben, vielleicht haben wir die Quest ein bisschen besser gemacht haben und haben sie gefunden, die ein paar mehr Harvesters bekommen, ein paar Bins bekommen, ein paar mehr Bins bekommen, ein paar Packages bekommen, zum Beispiel.
02:53:57 We do see a couple of teams that have been able to already get up to purple, but we saw a few early engagements happen because of the Harvesters, but now FaZe are gonna get caught out here. The Zipline Mafia were waiting, ready, and they pounced, and FaZe go down. 17 squads now remain, and sadly for FaZe, they tried to escape a previous fight, and they run right on in to Zipline Mafia. My goodness.
Teamkämpfe, Strategieanpassungen und die Bedeutung von Disziplin
02:54:20
02:54:20 Zip Line Mafia taking no prisoners as well. And it was Alliance in front of them. And they kept that pace up. Alliance moved on. And unfortunately, they just found another team to take down. Unfortunately, FaZe. SPS and Na'Vi will be the three teams to fall down. Stan, we get a look at this zone, pushing it forward to the right side here. Is it circled around Command Center? Could have pulled a little bit of...
02:54:44 ein bisschen left, da in der Bunny Slope. Aber jetzt ist es so, dass es sich jetzt auf Stormcatcher geht. Und das hat sich in Dors, ein Team, das wir noch nicht mehr haben, in einem ziemlich gut-decenten Position, als als Go-next. Wir haben hier in diesem Bild, das fühlt sich wie die meisten der Spiel so far ist, und wir werden sehr, sehr contenten zu bleiben hier, so lange wie möglich. Es ist worth noting, dass wir ein bisschen anders aussehen von Skrims, als auch, obwohl die Bands sind mit Skrims für die ersten drei.
02:55:11 Instead of seeing Rampart go here in Match 4, we are seeing Sparrow. So clearly during those scrims, people felt that Sparrow maybe was offering a little bit more, so they wanted to play him and be able to get that Survey Beacon Scan a little bit easier and more comfortable. Because that can be the difficulty, especially, I think anywhere on this map now, especially with the meta, you try and hit a Harvester, you try and hit a Survey Beacon, you try and hit a Ring Console, and you can fall victim just to a couple of 30-30 shots fired your way, and then you're down and your team is vulnerable.
02:55:40 Just as Alliance fell victim last week. So that Sparrow really can just change things from you, especially if you're good as well and you've got the lineups. I mean, it's pretty easy to hit the Survey Beacons, but you do have to have an eye for it at times. But Sparrow won't be available for match five though. So maybe we'll see a few more of those engagements, close quarters of teams trying to get to those Survey Beacons. It's a good decision to try to get as much information as you can in any situation in Apex Legends Sparrow.
02:56:08 Sparrow happens to be the legend that does that almost better than anybody and the safest as well. Unless you're running fully into a different type of game plan, Sparrow in terms of flexibility, he's going to give you that. And I think Alliance know that as well. I think teams like UAM may be just content to play the game their way. And that's also something that I do not begrudge a team. Finding your rhythm and sticking to it sometimes in these chaotic metas can just be very helpful.
02:56:35 Für euch haben einen Sinn von Identität als squad. Vielleicht nicht die besten Games, aber ihr bekommt Konsisten Games. Und es ist etwas zu bilden, hier ist Weak. Er hat sich jetzt immer wiederum. Er hat sich immer wiederum. Er hat sich immer wiederum. Und das könnte ein bisschen zu sparen für ZipLine sein. Da muss man bemerken, dass man sich nicht auf die ZipLine pushen muss. Das ist ein Pusher, sehr gut zu senden es um den Hillen.
02:57:01 Untertitelung im Auftrag des ZDF
02:57:14 Das gibt es die Möglichkeit, die Panik-Buttonne zu bringen, wenn die Böcke nach vorne geht, aber sie haben ihn zu beurteilen. All diese Züßes haben vieles zu tun, aber es wird vielleicht noch mehr Unterstützung geben. Das ist eine verrückte, verrückte Überraschung von Exkuse. Er hat das Schild perfekt gemacht. Er ist aufhörbar. Er ist aufhörbar.
02:57:36 He knows that's where he needs to face most of his attention and damage. But then he immediately makes that adjustment. And Zeus still alive, at least for now. Excused, trying to find that kill. But as Zeus has found a way, kind of like the gods, to stay on top and stay in charge. Zipline Mafia realize we bit off more than we could chew. We're now overcommitting. And they're going to go back with the Rape Portal. And it's going to be Killer Whales who survive. My goodness.
02:58:03 Truly, Roman has a pack there. It's worked out so far, but they are playing with fire. This is going to be an interesting area of the map, because Mythic Bin's going to be spawning here on the northern building of this Zip. And we saw last game how important that Mythic was. I mean, yes, it was Mythic plus a Golden Min that came up, but being able to get a little bit of extra oomph in the final circles can be so handy. And there might be a few teams looking to try him.
Mythic Bin, Team-Überlebensstrategien und Zonen-Kontrolle
02:58:27
02:58:27 ...und find their way towards the Mythic. Otherwise, it's just gonna be FUL being able to get it comfortably now. Looks like most teams are backed away, so FUL have done well just to force other teams away, and they're gonna be rewarded with a Mythic bin. There you go, you get an amp, you get some P2020s, and you get some gold PK. It's not too shabby. That is huge, and I mean, you look at, you know, comparing it, Beamzy was in that building, and he had a... he had a G7 Scout without a...
02:58:52 Er hat sogar einen Stock für den Sniper. Und jetzt hat er eine fully-loaded 30-30 mit Skullpiercer. Ich nehme das jeden Tag an der Woche. So, Teamzy in das gleiche Position ist jetzt nicht mehr so gefährlich. Und als wir überrühren, wir sehen Kashera und Natsky in Trouble. 07, vielleicht sagen 07 zu diesem Spot. Certainly zu diesem Position. Und vielleicht zu dem Squad. Overall, die Rampart Wall ist von Kashera. Es ist ein Last Ditch Effort.
02:59:18 But with another tracker dart and another stinger bolt there, it seems like it's going to be difficult. So far, though, surviving, Kashira with a gun in hand, warning off, staving off any potential pressure as they try to get this res. But boy, oh boy, not a good position in case Winnie, he can play spoiler to this party completely. But they don't. Welcome back to the party, Natsuki. I don't know how long it's going to be for as 07 quite literally with backs against their wall.
02:59:50 Oh, you can see KSW and crew are trying to push up on this. And they do manage to get another knock, but you can see they're not over committing. They are not jumping down. They know how important it is that they hold this building in the moment. So it's just peak, it's pop, it's bait, it's switch. Maybe 07 can escape again, but shall I last still holding this building strong?
03:00:08 Playing enemies against other enemies so that they become your friends. I love this idea because it really forced K-Sweeney and Nate and Sherb to take a risk to try to push them. And that spot that Nasky was getting bombarded by meant that if you try to push me, well, you're going to get bombarded too. Maybe take a little bit of attention away from us. It means that all three teams stay alive. Nobody really wins. Nobody really loses the sign of a good compromise.
03:00:34 ZipLine Mafia still alive and 32 points to their name looking to continue to try to press their advantage and their momentum that they've built up in this lobby as we've gone all the way down the 14 squads here and this zone closing in forcing Alliance now into the zone they're closest to ZipLine and it wonders makes you wonder is Alliance gonna try to push and take into this building otherwise they're gonna be in open space here ZipLine Mafia going for a little bit
03:01:01 Alliance and Effect with a PK.
03:01:30 Stinger Bolts, Tracker Darts, ready to go. He's got everything he needs to do what he has often done, which is set records as far as kills. Alliance really needs him to also have these consistent moments. They gotta find consistency from someone in terms of winning these fights. So far, so good. Excuse doesn't like what he sees. Takes the portal back. Weak also trying to...
03:01:54 Fall back as well. Fyto realizes this corner is the best place to be, but they're only delaying the inevitable. Alliance Effect taking the space as well. Haki's not gone outside. He has an ultimate. If he wants to, one PK shot hits, the next should hit as well. And that will be one down and Zipline Mafia lose excuse. Good use of Bangalore as well there just to get rid of that door and delete it immediately. So the excuse to be taken down and Zipline Mafia will be eliminated. So Alliance get a little bit of revenge from the last game.
03:02:22 And now Alliance will have the entirety of the western side. That was a very long fight. One thing I noticed from Alliance is they were very disciplined in that engagement. They know how easy it is to get chunked by the PK, so they were reluctant to push on just small advantages, and they waited until they really, truly knew they had a leg up on Zipline Mafia before they actually committed to the engagement. Now, all the meanwhile, GoNex have been able to find one of the best buildings in this final circle, or what will be the final circle, Nameless and Passion, also in two good areas.
Finaler Zirkel, aggressive Strategien und Spielentscheidungen
03:02:50
03:02:50 Und K. Swinney hat eine Craybone und wir wissen, was er kann mit ihm machen. Das ist ein Massive, Massive Stingerbolt da, weil es wird Hockies komplett auskennen. Er hat eine Ult-Away, das könnte alles auskennen. Und Hockies geht es! Und Allianz, als resultant von K. Swinney's Pressure, fällt zu Füda. Und das ist einfach ein Nail in der Coffin, in die Hoffnung ist, was oft ist die Hoffnung von Emiya. Schallala still holding das building, als auch.
03:03:24 They've held it strong, but it is not going to be a building that will help them in the final circle. And often I find in this circle, when I'm here in this building, it's so difficult to get out of it because the teams that have already got ahead of you just have their sights solely trained on you. And they do not want to allow you to drop because you are so vulnerable. And then if you do manage to drop, if you do manage to avoid those sightlines, there's usually a team waiting for you down below as well. So you need to have a game plan. You need to sometimes have a legend that gets you from point A to B.
03:03:53 So we'll have to see what Shalalad do from that building, but they're not the only team that has that problem in front of them. You can see there's about six squads all within Stormcatcher. They all have the same dilemma to try and focus on. Meanwhile, for a team like GoNext, it is about focusing on the same target, seeing if you pick up any KP and not allowing people to push up on you. And there looks to be another opportunity here. Ardeki gonna go down. And this is to the Bocek from Phoenix around. Anybody who dares step into the line of sight.
03:04:22 Auf dem Lowground ist es zu gehen. Sie haben die Allianz genommen. Sie haben eine Ultimation. Und wow, die Confidence. K-Sweeney fühlt sich erhältlich. Nate ist auch. Und es ist 9 Impulse, die Sie fallen. K-Sweeney und Nate jetzt vielleicht noch mehr haben. Und Füda, Fenix und Misey sind sicherlich die Sache. Das ist definitiv der Grund, der Falling down da ist. Aber als wir sprechen, N-V-M-I, die nächste Fall-Viktion.
03:04:50 ...to playing that low ground truck. Sha-la-la, running out of time, Dan. It's round five, they're closing in. They've got to figure out a way to move into the zone from here. They've got height, which is great, but can they keep it? Or can they even just find a safe place to play? Here's their attempt. They do have an Ashe ball available, so...
03:05:09 Wir haben die Abilität von Point A zu Point B sehr schnell. Ich liebe die Drop-On-Low-Grohung. Du wirst ein paar Abilzieren können, aber jetzt haben wir das Spiel. Aber mit K-Swinne geht's, es ist ein 2-3-2-3-2-X. Und es sieht aus wie Survival ist die Fokus hier, nur für Schallala. Ja, ein Placement-Punkt geht, aber er hat nicht seine Holtz. 32 Prozent, aber er wird vielleicht noch ein Placement-Punkt getrennt.
03:05:35 When it comes to just surviving. Now it's VCGO and go next. I don't know. He might be able to grab one. He could be trying to find through some of these bins. Seeing if there's a chance to do it. On the other side. They have got rampart walls and a new castle wall. It still may not be enough with the pressure coming their way. Shex has a little bit of mobility himself. But the zipline not charged up yet either. Everyone kind of stuck.
03:06:02 Und das ist eine gute Sache, weil niemand kann die Aggressor sein. Aber es ist also schwer, weil sie wissen, dass es eine Ticking-Timebomb ist, in terms von wie lange diese Spots will save sie. Schalala haben sie zurückgezogen, und sie haben eine Mobi zu verwenden. Es gibt Potenzial für Schalala zu zurückgezogen, wenn sie die Beacon, die Banner bekommen, und sie werden die Banner bekommen, sie werden die Mobi bekommen, und Schalala wird nur wieder zurückgezogen, weil sie all die attention ist, die Fokussion zu öffnen.
03:06:27 In the upper train car, in the upper car, you can be very vulnerable. Similarly to what Shalala just experienced, where a lot of focus kind of arrives onto you. All those teams, all that one team, Trojan and Nameless, kind of fighting each other on the train car as the 2-10, it slaps hard for Kay Swinney. And you gotta capitalize on this, Nate.
03:06:45 I don't know if he wants to get aggressive. Obviously they're getting Shure back into business and that just feels like they've got to win. They knock one, they know they take the resources out. They've also got another Tracker Dart and another Stinger Bolt to play off of. Look at all of the chaos here. Case Winnie, he's got the Kramer, but he chooses the battery, the Infinite Battery Amp as well. He's not going to run out of those as long as he keeps two in his backpack.
03:07:08 Das ist großartig hier, weil man sieht, wie viel damage er ist, von kleinen Ultimaten, von Sparrow, kleine Knuckle Clusters, Grenades, und er wird es benutzt!
03:07:22 Schalala eliminated, but not without a scream into the wind and taking fifth place. Oh, look at this zip now as well to take position. You can see Taskmaster and the rest of the squad have been able to find a great position, but now Pot also trying to move on in and will find a Newcastle wall to work with as well. So Pot have done so well at being able to command space. The Darkveil's almost helped them move in and they've created a 360 barrier around them.
03:07:48 The question is, can they hold on to it? Because GoNext do have an angle from height. They can maybe tickle them, they can prog them, they can deal damage to them here. GoNext looks phenomenal across the board. Now they've got a chance to really do the unthinkable, which is win two games in EMEA over the course of split two in one series, but it will not happen. VCGO might be the ones to do it, but again, they lose Babylons. Can they close out with Levi? It seems they will.
03:08:17 It's another game where GoNext have just got aggressive and opened up the entire final circle to other teams because they said, look, if we just slowly walk in here, we're finishing in third place. Let's try and get second or, you know, if everything aligns, we might be able to pull out our first place.
03:08:41 But it did allow VCGO just to be like, oh, wait, they're full sending it on the team that has the best position. All right, we'll just back off. We'll wait for it to happen. And then VCGO, they clean up. Yeah, that full send, man, from GoNex. It feels like those are the little things.
03:08:56 Das ist das Spiel, wie das Spiel gegen Allianz war, in dem Spiel vorhanden, auf World's Edge, der letzte Spiel da, wo sie senden Allianz, die die besten Position auf dem Rock hatte, und es funktioniert. Ich verstehe, warum sie die Entscheidung wieder gemacht haben.
03:09:13 And this is something they have to look at across the length of this match series and then across the length of split two. If we make this decision again and again and again, does it work out more than 50% of the time to where we're benefiting from that? Or do we have to figure out a new plan of action when we are in this spot? Because go next, no one can doubt their ability, their skill. But they're sometimes missing out on claiming as many points, as much of the lobby, as much of the momentum as they can, Dan. And obviously...
03:09:42 Ich denke, Gonesk, der natürliche Plan ist, ist Aggression. Und sie haben sich nicht mehr Zeit, um sich zu denken, etwas anderes zu denken. Die erste Instinkt ist, ja, wir müssen das alles in Bezug auf. Und sie sind alle in Bezugreifen. Und es kann so sein. 70% der Zeit.
03:10:10 Es funktioniert, aber in der Final 3, du wirst immer nur ein Team verletzt. Das ist okay, wenn sie nicht glauben, dass sie in 3rd ist. Ich bin all für's.
03:10:23 Especially in a situation like this where we're not in Matchpoint. It doesn't matter necessarily if you win. It's just about putting points on the board consistently. And look where they are. They are in first place. That's all that's going to matter to them. They're not going to look at it saying, ah, you know, well, we could have won three games here. They're going to say, we are top of the leadable. We have 56 points. Let's just keep doing what we're doing. And they are making it a very difficult lobby for a lot of these teams who are trying to play some of the primary positions, trying to play zone heavy because they are just getting sent on by GoNext.
03:10:52 Und, ihr wisst, was ich denke, auch zu Schalala und ihre Stats in das letzte Spiel. Sie waren wirklich aggressiv. Ich denke, sie waren ungefähr 15 killpoints. So, sie haben 75% von ihren Kills, in das letzte Spiel, und sie haben sie auf 5. Wir sahen ihre Journey a lot auf Main Broadcast. Aber wenn Sie auf GoNext kommen und Sie sagen, es ist nicht Matchpoint.
03:11:14 I'd love these teams to start looking at, well, what if it is match point, Dan? Let's watch back this final circle and see if maybe there's something they're seeing that we're not. Usually that is the case and why they say, you know what? We can't win this. We got to play for third. If that win is regional finals, you're over 50 points and that means you go to land or you don't. Well, that's definitely something you want to see if there's any possibility to win. Who cares about third? The only number is number one. We look back at some of the highlights as well. And this.
03:11:43 Kreber, von Case Winnie. Er hat einen anderen Show für uns gemacht. Wenn wir den timelessen Highlights von ALGS sehen, Case Winnie und Kreber oft kommen, wieder und wieder. Er hat ein schönes E-Z-Shots, aber dann hat er ein schönes No-Scope-Shots.
03:11:56 Das war mit dem PK-Shot. Das ist auch warum dieser Meta ist so fremdlich zu M&K-Playern. Man kann so etwas wie das. Die quicken Flicks mit dem PK, mit dem Kreber, mit dem 30-30. Ich meine, wenn die Wingman ein bisschen mehr Damage ist, dann würde ich den Wingman sein. Weil die Leute so hart sind. Aber wir gehen jetzt. So, sie sind in dieser Position. BC-Geo-Download.
03:12:22 Sie müssen, sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben ihre Dark Veil. Sie hatten eine Krypto. Sie haben keine Defensive Optionen. Sie haben sie, dass Aggression die einzige Antwort war. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie. Sie haben sie.
03:12:49 Yeah, and I think, too, we talk about decisions. You never know what would have happened. If he hits one PK shot differently, maybe they win that fight, and maybe they reset, shield swap, and they win the whole game. You never know, but I love this team taking chances. Whether they get it all done or not, their first place in this lobby, which that's got to count for something. Obviously, VCGO would win, but go next. Definitely taking this one next to the leaderboard. We've got...
03:13:12 Two more games upcoming after this guys. Mark and Dan will be back to cast them all. It's been a fun one. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back when game five is ready.
03:21:51 ich bin ich bin ich
03:24:24 Es ist nicht so wichtig, wenn ihr hier seid.
03:24:58 Schatz, gut schatz. F*** was passiert moving forward. What in the hell was that armor swap?
03:25:23 Ja, we do. I'm gonna smoke him, okay? Yeah, I'm ready. We have three cards, it's fine. It's a good smoke, good smoke, good smoke, good smoke. Okay, ready? I'm going.
03:25:51 I'm chillin. They stuck me. Stuck the car. Just try and chill. Try and chill. Try and chill. I'm gonna EMP. I'm EMP. I'm EMP. I'm EMP. I'm EMP. I'm EMP. Can we swing in? It does look like StepSys is gonna move into the height. Gonna send it.
03:26:25 Oh!
03:26:35 3... 2... 1...
03:27:05 Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's! Los geht's!
03:27:32 Red Bull ist die Official Energy Drink of the Apex Legends Global Series.
03:28:07 Ja, Sparrow war...
Match 5 beginnt: Legendenauswahl und frühe Konfrontationen
03:28:32
03:28:32 Rampart in Scrims. Rampart was typically the one to go, which would be my expectation going into Match 5, that now Rampart is the most prominent legend. But we'll wait and see once we do get locked and loaded, which looks like we are in! And the lobby is ready. The players are already on the map. Match 5 is live, ladies and gents. Again, I echo what Mark said. Thank you for your patience. And now I'm excited to see what goes down. And I was correct in my assumption. We do have the majority.
03:28:59 auf Rampart hier. So, sie wird für Match 6, das dann wahrscheinlich bleibt uns mit viel Catalyst zu gehen. Wir sind jetzt nach 6. Wir sind jetzt nach der Zone. Wir sind nach North, wir sind nach dem Wall. Wir haben ZipLineMafia mit einer Möglichkeit, vielleicht zu gehen, nicht nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach nach
03:29:27 All correctly said, I will say. Moving in towards the northern side of wall. You don't want to brag, but you got them all right. Now Alliance... Will they have anything to brag about? Because it looks like they're being pressured. Remember, the expectation is Alliance are usually the team to put the pressure on the team that lands next to them, but they are being absolutely bombarded at the moment. Killer whales have done a lot of damage. Can Alliance stabilize?
03:29:51 Two players still alive here, four killer whales. Although Alliance in this 2v2 might have just been able to make them worry a little bit here. 9bongo's got to think about do I pop a bat or do I escape? And interestingly to see here legend selection wise, we are seeing something I didn't expect to see, Dan.
03:30:11 Ja, Vantage kommt in die Equation. Wir sehen ein paar Teams mit ein bisschen off-meta pick. Wir haben MadMaggie, Vantage, Lifeline, Gibraltar in die Lobby und dann haben wir die übliche Worte. Aber der Allianz wird die Battle gewinnen. Und sie werden wahrscheinlich lachen und sagen, dass das was du für die Trident wegzunehmen.
03:30:32 Maybe Alliance even considering to try and full chase here. Yeah, I think they will want to make a point of this. It felt like Alliance won the back first. So much of that fight has somehow managed to turn it around. And now they're chasing down the final player. The Vantage will be able to do their best at getting away. But there's the Spitfire. There's the consistent damage. But can they get enough before the Trident gets around the corner? At least jump him out of the car. But are they trying to escape?
03:31:01 This is a mess. See you later. That all shall not contest Alliance.
03:31:09 I thought it was going to be a last ditch attempt to try and steal the Trident from them, just as a last hurrah. Anyway, FUL. They had a brilliant game previously. We're able to get to those late game scenarios, we're able to force their way into that zone, but will they be able to survive here? Because they're going to have to go a little bit further north if they want to get to the late game. It looked like they were being contested by Passion, but it looks like Passion have left this one, or at least have walked past them here. I think that's what...
03:31:37 A lot of these teams have begun to recognise in this meta is that not all fights are worth taking. If you can get past the team and find yourself in a more advantageous spot from distance, the guns that you have available to you, you can absolutely ruin someone's day if you gatekeep them. So just getting past the team can sometimes feel like a win. Well, Arndogs were eliminated very early on as well, so there won't be any points available for them. Navi went all the way to Elrod at the moment, and they're going to have Endors who are somewhat close to them.
03:32:07 Wir haben jetzt einen Schatz von Gschacko mit der A30. Ich werde das Ring-Console spielen, um zu sehen, wo die Sonne ist.
03:32:18 Also got some Evo, of course, to pick up, with Lukashako already on purple. Biaka certainly will be joining him, and you would imagine Slab will be doing so as well, so Navi should be kitted for this rotate, but they've got to go to the northern side of the zone, you would imagine, or maybe through the Spider Cave to get towards where this zone is going to be going. Alliance now, having chased down the killer whales, hit the zipline, and we'll be able to play this fence line, but it's a tough rotate in for them, you can see, but unlucky with the pig!
Alliance's Aggressive Rotation und Faze Clans Taktische Anpassung
03:32:45
03:32:45 Might have just given them the opportunity to move forward here and take some space. Yeah, they should be able to take a little bit of space on the north. I mean, if they can get truly aggressive, they might be able to find themselves actually within this building segment. And it looks like they've done just that. And again, when you get that pick, when you have the ability with those guns, you can really ruin someone's day from distance if they are not aware. And I don't think many teams would have been aware of a team arriving from the north like Alliance have just done. So a good rotation from them.
03:33:12 just to catch a team off guard 07 gonna take that western side as well over at wall they'll be in that building now it won't be safe once we get to the next circle but they can maybe hold out potentially face cut away a face I'm gonna do mimic what Alliance have done and based on potentially gonna come behind Alliance here and there could be an engagement that happens on the north in a short while they go to just be safe but just luckily for them the two big doors aren't breakable ones on that bunker
03:33:40 But moving out after that is going to be the tough move for them. Navi mentioned how this rotate is going to be a little bit rough for them. Well, they've got to decide what way they want to go. And like I mentioned, they do have the option of the Spider Cave, but Pot have just moved through there. And Doors were holding them out. And the Zone Wrap on the northern side as well, around Zeus Station. Whereas Faze have just recognised maybe this isn't the best play for them. They're going to hit the Survey Beacon first to find out exactly...
03:34:06 Wo vielleicht die holes sie können durch den Zuh-Zu-Zone werden. Speaking von Endorse, das ist sie zu halten. Hot at the moment, die vielleicht für die Ring-Console in der Back-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Zu-Z
03:34:31 So FaZe in fact retreated and went back west, back towards North Pad. Looking to probably get a little bit of information, maybe some extra Evo as well. There's a few teams that have done that at this period. They've just backed away from any fights. They've recognized that they're not going to be getting into the circle anytime soon. So instead of just focused on progressing elsewhere, going on a little side quest. I think the most...
03:34:54 The concerning side is going to be this eastern side, with Gonex, Shalala and Na'Vi all in the same kind of areas. There is obviously a tunnel you can go down underneath the team, so you don't have to force your way in here if you'll go next. Looks like Shalala also are going to be heading towards Command Center, so we might still see two teams kind of have a fight with one another while making their rotation.
03:35:19 So GoNex haben gesagt, sie wollen sie versuchen, sie von der South zu versuchen. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob sie das Survey Beacon haben, dass sie die Sturmkatcher haben, wenn sie nicht. Und dann haben sie die Option zu tun, was sie geben ihnen ein paar Informationen, wo sie ein bisschen mehr informieren können. Und es ist interessant, dass das Nord-Eastern-Side ist, das Nord-Eastern-Side ist, hat sich jetzt öffnet etwas, mit denen die Teams leaving. Schallalara sind durch die Command-Center, sie waren auf der High-Ground. GoNex ist wahrscheinlich, dass sie sich durch die Command-Center zu gehen.
03:35:49 Wir sind jetzt hier in der Nähe von Pott, und sie sind jetzt hier in der Nähe von Pott.
03:36:20 Es wird in den Dörfern zu stecken, aber es ist auch nicht so gut. Und das ist ein Pusch, das ist wirklich falsch. Ja, ein paar Shots kommen in von Distanz. Die Sniper, die 30-30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30s, die 30
03:36:46 Der erste Knot kam in von Unlucky. Und wenn du dich an, wo Allianz's position war, ist das tief. Auf der anderen Seite dieser Zone, das ist wie diese Weapons-Distanz kann.
03:36:58 I do have a Moby here, but there's just so many bullets, so many teams that have got eyes on them. You can see Feudor trying to escape, but it always feels so difficult when you've got that many teams trained on you. FaZe Clan also in an engagement here as well. Nags is going to have to heal up. They've done enough just to stay alive. This is on the southwest side of the map at the moment. And it seems wherever FaZe push, whether they try and go north, whether they try and go through, they've found a team and it's going to be nameless now taking the fight.
03:37:26 Sie sind komplett isoliert in der Momentum. 07 sind in der Bunker. Sie sind in der Bunker.
03:37:56 Aber sie wird einfach nur die Potenzial-Push geben.
03:38:00 Ja, ich denke, F.U.L. war hoping they got there a little bit sooner before the resets happened, but now this is not really a fight you want to be taking. You can force Phaze the other way, potentially. If you just back off to do enough to deal damage, Phaze might just recognize that that's too much of a threat to try and take this fight uphill as well. But I don't think F.U.L.L. should be trying to take this fight. Two Phaze! Beans, he's gone down. And now, just like that, you've got to try and play Escape Artists. Double ball will get him away, but...
03:38:29 Ja, Passion are probably licking their lips about this one. Because they can hold from height. And actually, Passion doing very well to take space at the moment. They are separated.
Strategische Teampositionierung und Eliminierungen in späten Spielphasen
03:39:00
03:39:00 You need to be careful that no one takes the space between them. I can see Gonext are making their rotation. You just saw them fly on your screen from left to right and now Gonext have just been able to find a spot just past Shalala. Shalala were happy to watch them go over the top. They did not make themselves known, although now they have been spotted. It's because Trojan are below them here and Shalala don't want to make too much noise.
03:39:26 F.U.L. hat einen Alive, aber ich bin nicht sicher, wie lange das geht. Es würde mich nicht zu sehen, dass F.U.L. war Eliminated in ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden. F.U.L. ist jetzt noch ein paar Sekunden.
03:39:53 Es ist jetzt vielleicht etwas über die Schallala und die Team inside der building. Ich glaube, es ist Navi, die von der Distanz pressen und die Schallala haben. Das ist wahr für Schallala, um diese Position zu nehmen. Aber sie müssen sehr auf die Team inside. Und Trojans müssen sie vielleicht beantwärts von ihnen, um die Schallala zu nehmen. Schallala, die Stabilize und vielleicht für ein bisschen Info warten können. Das ist so schwer für sie auf der South-East-Site.
03:40:30 um in die Position zu nehmen, um die Height aus den kleinen E-Vac zu entwickeln.
03:40:35 Navi still holding that choke, that's where the damage is coming from. They should be able to third party inside of this build, Inshallah have just been eliminated. Tenetic though, he's going to pop. The ultimate excel to try and get that EMP back a little bit quicker. They don't feel 100% confident on this one at the moment. 16 squads still alive by the way, Zayn has 3 kills to his name. And now he forces Navi away as well, 20 seconds until the zone starts to close. Yeah, Navi just had to retreat there because they want to wrap all the way around on the eastern side, so they don't want to hold out those teams anymore.
03:41:04 They are going to have to take a fight probably with Pot on their way into Zone, but it does mean good news for FaZe Clan, because if Nadi had stayed there and tried to come in, FaZe would have been caught between a rock and a hard place, but now they can take a straight 3v3 with Trojan. Zanetic may well have that EMP available very, very soon as well. I think they're just waiting for that cooldown. The only problem is the Zone is forcing them now to move forward.
03:41:30 Fates have got a long way to go here. They're probably thinking KP. I'm not sure what they rotate. It's only the smokes that they have to rotate. With teams working their way to their right, they may just about be able to sneak down this left-hand side of the zone and stay alive.
03:41:46 UN could potentially pick up six kills here, but there's also a big chance that both teams kind of focus UN as they arrive. And then they will lose at least one player, but they are trying to use the Dark Veil to their advantage at the moment. Rampart walls will now go down. Also the Crypto going invisible to try and get a little bit of info. And Max Trafey will say, I'm more than happy to take that fight. But now UN, yes, they've got the kills, but this is the downside of it. It's just about survival.
03:42:13 Oh ja!
03:42:38 They are so fearless. Go next. And that's why they keep finding themselves in these final circles. Because they know where they want to go. And they are aggressive enough to just keep pushing teams out. But FaZe maybe are going to bring an end to it all. Which they will. Go next eliminated. But now Na'Vi also here. Ten squads now remain. Na'Vi versus FaZe. But it looks like FaZe have been able to escape. Or at least the remainder of FaZe escaping out. Can they get back up outsiders? Na'Vi will just be happy to have this building.
03:43:04 Es gibt zwei Mitglieder der Phase, vielleicht nur noch eine Alive im Moment. Naxx wird versuchen, diese Rez zu stecken.
03:43:12 A lot of mobile res's going down. Faze have got to respawn, Alliance have got to respawn. Full 3's back into the lobby.
03:43:40 Pot, Kettle Black will be up on top, and they are now going to hold this position, have a Newcastle wall, and actually find themselves in a very commanding spot if they can stabilize, but they're going to get pushed. 07 come in with a little bit of a Gibby Bubble. Gibby, old Gibby Bubble, Passion eliminated in the meantime. But that Gibby Bubble just delays what might be the inevitable here for 07. Pot still holding this high ground and holding it extremely well at the moment. The Mobile Shield goes down. ZipLine Mafia now move up to the outside of this building as well.
03:44:12 Just so many teams in this building that are just desperate to stay alive at the moment, reluctant to take a fight, but just surviving, getting into corners and taking popshots if they're available. 07 will be eliminated, so that does mean Pot will still hold out on top, but look at Zipplo Mafia, backs against the wall, a little nook and cranny that they found, but VCGO might just have the perfect spot to take them down through this window.
03:44:35 Ich glaube, Schilder ist es, es hält sie auf. Zip-Line Mafia kann man nicht mehr halten, kann man nicht mehr halten. Sie werden jetzt die V-C-G-O noch kontrollieren. Und endlich, all die commotion in und vor ihnen zettelte für ein paar Sekunden und sie können hier breathieren.
03:44:56 MVM have not had a big game thus far today in this series. After some impressive scrim results, can they finally get something on the board here to climb these leaderboards? They've been somewhat quiet, slowly going about their business. As we get into this final circle with seven squads still remaining as Nags has gone down. Zayn trying to cover. In fact, to be fair, to get top seven with the KP they've managed to get, this has been a really, really good game from them.
03:45:23 So 7 points in 5th place overall for FaZe. Nags is still on his back though. They want to try and get him back up.
03:45:30 The teams with Newcastle are really going to be able to capitalize in this final circle, just getting some extra cover in what is going to be a very difficult position to try and hold for those who do not have Newcastle. Hackers has just gone down there. Lions are one of those teams that does have a Newcastle.
03:45:56 Ich glaube, sie sind in der Mitte dieser Gebäude, aber sie müssen schnell gehen. Siehle ist bereit, vielleicht zu versuchen, die Teams zu unternehmen. Siehle ist bereit. Siehle ist bereit. Siehle ist bereit, aber sie sind in der Zip. Siehle ist bereit, aber sie sind in der Zip. Und ich denke, sie wollen sich auf Allianz wiederholen, aber die Allianz haben zurückgezogen. Kastle Walle jetzt geht's. Kreece ist jetzt bereit, sich auf die Rampart zu setzen.
03:46:20 Oh no! Oh no!
03:46:49 Wait a minute! F.U.L. wird 2nd!
03:47:12 Was von der Phase-Fight, in der Choke, aus der Trident POI. Somehow, das Spieler hat lange genug zu nehmen, um 2nd Platz zu nehmen. Aber wir müssen alle die Kredite in der Welt zu den drei Damen und Herren auf den Schrauben. Nvmi mit der Wind. Was ein Spiel das war. Und du musst sagen...
03:47:34 Even though there's been big waits between games today, which is nothing we can do about it, they have been worth waiting for. These endgames have been so, so fun. Yeah, that was so chaotic. I mean, I think that Pop probably thought they were in a good spot. They had been able to build a base, but sadly, any base can be taken down with enough shots, with enough utility, and depending on the legends you've got, can be taken down by a legend as well. But MVMI will pull out the victory, 19 points, so the official return of Hardeki.
03:48:02 Will be crowned with a victory at some point in this series. And they'll give themselves a chance in this series with one match still to play. Na'Vi also technically the winners of that match. 20 points in the end after 13 for themselves in terms of kill points. You can see VCGO, even though in the late game there, and even though they have multiple victories today, just weren't able to get any points on the board. So top five, great, but only placements is what they achieved.
03:48:28 Ja, das ist schon ziemlich die Geschichte der Tag für sie so far. Nicht so viel Kp zu gehen mit diesen Placements. Aber das ist der Top 3 MVMI. Auf der Topf der Leaderboards, es war 9 Impulse mit 4 Kills zu seinem. Das führt den Weg zu den Kills. Für sie 2nd war FUL. Und ich denke, es war Kuro. Ich kann mich nicht ganz auf den Namen im Moment. Aber ich bin sicher, es war Krypto Player. Er war die letzte Alive for sie. Wir müssen zurück und watch die VOD auf das. Weil sie somehow oder andere hat sie zu bleiben.
03:48:56 Third place for Na'Vi, but most points in the lobby overall for the current Defending World Champions. Two thirds of them, of course. And the kills pretty much shared among everyone. This is the series results, Stan. Go next on top. By the way, FUR had no kills there in second place, so they very much played the Battle Royale survival game to finish in second place. MVMI pushed themselves up into top five after that win, but go next are still top, as you're alluding to Trojan.
03:49:19 In 2nd place as well. We have seen them in many final circles here today. Yet to find a win, but certainly looking promising. Just 4 points shy of taking this one. And, you know, this is pretty open still. Even though you've got a little bit of a lead with 1 and 2. I think 3, 4, 5 still with a big game could win this entire series today. A lot of placements will be changing when we finish with game number 6. This is the final circle and you can see the Castle Wars. The fact that we've got a lot of Newcastle and Rampart in playable spots.
03:49:48 Out of nothing for a lot of these teams. Hock took that center spot position, center zone position, excuse me, towards the endgame. VCGO just getting caught as they tried to escape from this building. They've done such a good job to hold for the majority of this game.
03:50:04 Und in der Ende des Na'vi burst out, und das Maggi Ball wirklich beeinflusst, wie die Final Moments war. Ja, die nur Mad Maggi in der Lobby. Das ist das Ding. Du kannst never prepare für eine Final Circle, weil du never wissen, was der Legend Selektions wird mit Legend Bands sein. Du kannst dich selbst für all sorts of verschiedene Dinge geben, aber es gibt immer die Elemente des Unkommens. Du bist immer ein Gibraltar-Bubble, und du bist wie, wer auf der Erde spielt Gibbe? Aber das ist die Schönheit des Legend Bands.
03:50:32 Well, it's gonna be game five done and dusted. We only got one more game for EMEA to come today and that's coming up right after this break. Don't go anywhere. The EMEA Pro League will continue in a few moments.
03:51:15 ich bin ich bin ich bin
03:51:46 100 Men vs. 1 Guerrilla, who wins? 1 Guerrilla. Easily. I'm gonna have to go with the 100 Men. The Guerrilla. 1 Guerrilla. If the 100 Men are actually engaged and trying and working as a team, the 100 Men. Guerrilla wins. 96 Men would survive. 100 Men. The Guerrilla. Oh, I mean, it's the Men. Guerrilla. Easily 100 Men. 100 Men is a lot of people. Count to 100. 100 Men. Me. 100 Men? All you need is 100 Thieves, bro. The real question is how many phonies? Bro.
03:52:15 Chill bro, you need a thousand phonies to take on one gorilla. I wanna see if FaZe takes this fight. What in the f*** am I watching?
03:52:45 Oh my goodness, FaZe made the play they needed to. That triple Cog used to was crazy. He's found some results for us. Dan, great job.
Strategische Anpassungen und frühe Auseinandersetzungen in Match 6
03:56:44
03:56:44 How to fix things in eSports is loaded, but how to fix things in ARGS? That seems a little bit more simple. We've got the games rolling and it looks like Match 6 is just about to be underway. We go to Storm Point for one last time. Rampart banned, gone. Welcome Catalyst, I would imagine, to just replace that Controller Legend and also provides a little bit of extra cover. We are in a dangerous position, Mark, I will say, where Controller Legends might get reset when we get to Match Point in this meta because...
03:57:13 Katalys könnte hier sein können, wenn wir in ein Match 7 gehen können. Aber das ist noch eine Diskussion für eine andere Zeit, weil schon MVMI, unsere vorherige Winters, sind jetzt nur ein. Ich habe ein Gefühl, dass etwas Cheeky ist. SPS. Ich werde ihn unternehmen.
03:57:32 This is happening over at Zeus Station. I think they completely sent it from Elrod. Towards their position to try and catch them off guard and catch them off guard they might have just done here. A little POI invasion. A Hardeki is holding strong as I want.
03:57:49 Hardecki war es in Subtlety, jetzt sagt er, ich könnte ein Chance hier sein. Ich bin Hardecki, was ich da? Was haben wir da? Okay, vielleicht nicht. Even Hardecki realises, wenn die Numbers sind, sind es zu stark gegen ihn. Es wird ihm zu glauben. Es sollte ein Reset sein können, aber...
03:58:10 Schalala ist ein langer Weg weg.
03:58:21 Schalala, ein paar P.K. Schaden, Kravitz Schaden. Schalala, ein paar P.K. Schaden. Schalala, ein paar P.K. Schaden. Schaden. Schaden. Schaden. Schaden. Schaden. Schaden.
03:58:49 Ich versuche es nicht mehr Zeit, hier ist es nicht mehr Zeit für Reset. Wenn ihr Reset habt, dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir und dann gehen wir.
03:59:19 I'm almost trying to see why. I thought maybe it was an Evo Harvester that was being fought over, but I can't even see an Evo Harvester in the area. So it just might have just been aggression because there was no Evo Harvester. So look at it, try and take the fight so you can get up to blue. Anyway, Nameless have got the initial knock. Light's gone down. There is a chance that they can get him back up, but they certainly are going to have to fight very aggressively to try and keep this team at best. Yeah, I think Gondex have recognised that this was maybe a push too far. Oh, 108 though.
03:59:49 Not gonna be enough, Light will survive, but Kinder was given the responsibility to escape from this fight and look for a reset. They can't lie, she's trying to buy time at this moment. He knows that he's gonna die pretty soon, or at least to not be able to survive, but by buying the time, Kinder managed to escape. So a good job all round from Go Next after initially looking for that third party and failing, and we'll at least stay alive in this game. Light has gone down, so it's all up to Kinder now to get his teammates back in this game. Yeah, looking across the southeast, and there's no Evo Harvester.
04:00:18 ...to work with outside of Launchpad... ...and then on a rotation through to Jurassic. So, yeah, they were just starved a little bit on the South East, which forced them into an engagement. There's now Alliance. Speaking of engagements... ...are they going to be able to win this one once more? But they are not the only team. It's not just a 3v3 here. There are several teams here now. Oh my, unlucky. Great shots, though, coming in with that Nemesis. Elsewhere, Natsuki's having some fun with the Charge Rifle. Zane's having a terrible time finding out Natsuki's got a Charge Rifle.
04:00:47 He's gonna be taken down.
04:00:50 Zip-Line Mafia have moved from Checkpoint, by the way, to have a look at this. Killer Whale is still alive at this point. Finally, it looks like Alliance will get enough damage to take them down. And Killer Whale will indeed fall. Faye's trying to get healthy at this point. Zane has been finished, like we mentioned, but they look to stick this one in the comfort and the comfy corners of one of these loot pills. It doesn't look very comfortable, but it's full of spikes. It looks like a horrible place to be, but thankfully you can stand on your own spikes.
04:01:19 Und 07 sind nicht aufhören zu pushen auf das, denn sie sind nicht aufhören, denn sie sind aufhören, denn sie haben andere Teams aufhören. Und wenn ihr euch aufhören könnt, fühlen sich ein bisschen zu vunerable. Von den 30-30ern von den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper und den Sniper.
04:01:47 Oh mein Gott, Effekt! Effekt!
Dynamische Kämpfe und strategische Wendungen im Finale
04:02:26
04:02:26 Just held off three teams. Three! And they will get back up. There's no one else on the north. They just killed them all. They just killed everyone, yeah. Go next, still alive. And they're currently being hunted by Nameless, still.
04:02:45 All that information being provided by the Crypto. And now Gonext may be looking to take advantage of the EMP. Roman should be taken down here, will be able to do so. Light did go down though. The Henschmer now got to be very, very careful. And take a few seconds just to get his shields back here. Fander still holding on high with that 30-30. Just giving him a bird's eye view of what's going down. Decides to drop down to his teammates instead. The EMP not available for the Crypto. And now they're going to take the height off of them.
04:03:14 Oh, Henchman got absolutely plucked out of the Dark Veil and sent into the Netherrealm. Now kind of maybe has to try and escape here. It's just an isolated fight, so he's not going to run into anyone else at the moment, but does get a shield swap. 1v1.
04:03:50 Ich denke, es ist 1v2 jetzt, sie hat eine Rez. Okay, Kinder decides, ich habe genug gemacht. Beautiful Mansu, das ist ein Schuss von ihm. Er hat ein paar Medkits hier, er hat ein paar Medkits zu arbeiten, so er kann in die Zone retreat. Er ist natürlich auch auf Krypto, das ist auch viel einfacher.
04:04:08 Rez, once you get those banners back, being able to send that drone out to a respawn beacon to bring your teammates back in. NamUs in the meantime have managed to get the respawn. By the way, all of this a long way away from Zone. Everything we've seen so far has been so far away from Zone that Undogs are probably questioning, did we call Zone right? Even with Beacon.
04:04:28 VMI also gonna be moving in late from the northeast as are endorsed and they're alongside alliance they're the only four teams really outside of this circle. This is an interesting fight as well on the south. Na'Vi versus FaZe Clan. You win this one and you will have the entirety of the self to yourself. FaZe just struggling to really get the poke damage they want and in the end Na'Vi send it. 108. Na'Vi gets tickled by a maggie ball.
04:04:53 Und es wird Zeitung, die Na'vi gewinnen, die fight! Und dann Jacco wird wieder zurückgekommen. Und es ist immer so, wie ein Dissue Massage von jemandem nicht trainiert. Es ist ebenso, dass es MEANT zu sein ist, aber es ist wirklich nicht. Ja, ich habe mich gebeten von jemandem in Thailand. Es war ein Massage und ich war in Agony. Ich bin nicht zu lief, es war bad. Du warst in der wrongen Bar. Nein, es war eine Massage. Es war ein Räpfal place. Let's get that right, everyone.
04:05:23 MVMI will have the ability to traverse very quickly via the Trident. It's about where they go here. And they full-on boost themselves into Seto, and they've done it successfully. Pretty sure the person who gave me a massage, by the way, in Thailand was a professional powerlifter at some point in their life. Strongest people I've ever seen in my life.
04:05:51 You asked for deep tissue massage, you get a deep tissue massage. I sent out a genetic freak to disperse pain. Heart came out bruised, battered.
04:06:04 Ja, das war ein tolles Erfahrung, ich werde nicht lieb. Nameless now, still alive. Wir sahen sie ein paar Moments ago, aber Trojan ist wieder in eine gute Position in Zone. Wie viele Male haben wir gesagt das so far heute? Wir haben eine gute Spion in Zone gefunden, aber nicht mehr able, die KP zu geben. Und in 2nd place, overall, könnte es genug sein, wenn sie eine gute Placement-Game können. Especially wenn Go-next Go-down. Aber Go-next ist still alive und kicken, am Moment.
04:06:37 Ich glaube, er hat meds. Ich denke, er ist zu gehen. Ich denke, er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen. Er ist zu gehen.
04:06:57 They'll be alright. They'll get there. And if they don't, they've got a long way to go. Maybe it's too much. They can craft a couple of Megtits, though, the players who have just spawned in from Go Next. But Zone 3 is certainly going to sting more. And Zone 4 might be unsurvivable for them.
04:07:18 You aim just outside the zone at the moment, potting the armory just outside of where this next zone is going to be pulling. Navi, who won that fight a few moments ago, I've actually wrapped the other way back towards the cannon from inside initially of Cenote. Shaka looking for any teams who are trying to wrap behind them. There was someone here who's going to go next to are going to be now inside of the zone. Alliance, by the way, they're on for a banger game.
04:07:49 They can convert. The amount of KP they got from those early scuffles. Absolutely ridiculous. And now they've found their way into middle. Na'Vi now being forced to fight Xhako and Hihaka. Last alive for the team. And Hihaka's had its shields broken as well. In the smoke just checking all your corners to see if you can find anyone. Looks like Na'Vi really struggling with this one. Now go next.
04:08:12 Again, showing aggression, but they are, of course, at a very big armor disadvantage. Have to be careful. They don't want to overextend. They're also worried about a potential third party. It's going to be Pop watching from a distance. Zone's a problem, though. It's going to be unsurvivable for a lot of these teams in Zone 4, especially with teams looking to hold them out. Na'Vi have been eliminated. GoNix trying to survive. Kind of spent most of this game just trying to escape the clutches of teams around him.
04:08:47 Looks like we're going to be able to survive for at least a few seconds here. Light's going to go down and kind of find himself in the same situation again. And on Crypto, I'm just going to try and sneak with the zone here. If you can just get inside, pass the attention of Nameless and Pot. Everyone's looking at Nameless at the moment. He might be able to scamper through here. Oh, some light!
04:09:09 He did everything he could. Look how close he was. Tell you what, that does open things up for Trojan. They're only six points behind Go Next tier.
04:09:21 Are we going to potentially see someone steal it right at the death? And take today's series by the scruff of its neck. Now, there's still a lot to do here. And you can see the portal is potentially going to be the play. Because Trojan are not safe for this next zone. They still have to go a little bit further south. But the good news is, so do a lot of other teams. Oh, that hurt. No, no, some beautiful shots for that 30-30.
04:09:50 Das ist vielleicht noch eine Chance für Pot. Wenn Pot kann das Spiel gewinnen, mit viel Kills, dann...
04:10:24 Potentially Pot could catch up. Alliance also have an opening to maybe push into the top three with those deaths as well, because remember VCGO were in third place. As I say that Pot now go down, and suddenly it does open up for Alliance to potentially push themselves into the top three. There is definitely points available for Alliance here. NVMI, they've taken so much ring damage so far this game, but now they find themselves in the fight. Oh, Kasrak hit the big shot, but then he missed the next two, and that really has cost NVMI. And Dorse have been eliminated in the meantime, seven squads.
04:10:52 Still alive here on Stormpoint as we try to convert and work out who's gonna be finishing wet.
04:11:02 So we have 5th and 6th alive in Alliance and MVMI, who are both trying to push into the top 3 here. Elsewhere you've got 11th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th alive. So all the bottom half of the leaderboard with an opportunity to also jump up and gain some big points when we're looking at Pro League and we're looking at trying to secure yourself.
04:11:30 Not even just to get to regional finals, but looking further than that, it's nameless. Get eliminated. They're out in 7th place. More points yet again going and being handed out to these teams, whether it be via KP or placement. And it is 07 in Passion who have the zone. And then on the right-hand side, on the eastern side, you've got NVMI, OnDogs, and UA.
04:11:56 By the way, my random stat, MVMI have taken almost 2,000 ring damage this game. That's more than Go Next, and remember what Go Next went through. Hey, let's just remember. Nine Impulse, back in the day, Aurora. Back in the day. Never mind being in zone for a little bit of time. Maybe they're bringing back those strats. For now, they've got to work out how they get between Alliance and On Dogs. They've got to work their way through towards this zone. It's a very rough position for them.
04:12:28 Und mit Ewing und Max Strafing haben eine Kraber in der Hand. Sie werden ein bisschen mehr Uncomfortable für sie. Ein paar Armour-Swappen sind auf dem Boden. Sie werden die Zonen bewerben. Das hat ein Double Portal, also. So sie können einen Weg finden, um sie zu finden. Aber die Coms werden müssen, hier. Ich denke, es ist noch eine Chance, dass die Allianz gewinnen könnte. Es scheint ein bisschen zu strechen, aber Kills plus ein Win hier.
04:13:01 Es ist noch eine Chance für Pip-Go-next, nach der ersten Elimination. Aber jetzt ist der Fokus jetzt einfach nur in dieser Final-Circle, in den Top-3 zu bekommen. Und ein paar mehr Punkte hier in Split 2. Glücklich nicht mehr zu werden, mit den Charger-Rifle-Shots.
04:13:22 Es ist ein Mann, der pure of heart ist, und er weiß, dass der reale Damage ist, mit realen Weapons. Ich will nicht meine Schmerzen. Ja, oh nein, ich miss. Ein paar Nades geht in, als der Kabel geht in, und die Zonen geht in die Zonen, und die Läden werden müssen, das Pretty Blind, in hinter einem dieser Kabel. Sie sind für ein Platz für diese Kastle-Wall, und sie werden können, aber es ist ein Team, aber es ist noch im Hintergrund, und der Effekt ist, aber der Drag jetzt kommt in. Unlucky!
04:13:51 On-Dogs eliminated in the meantime. Five squads remaining. It's MVMI, who are doing so much damage to Alliance at the moment, but they're reluctant to push up because they're also being pressured from the other side. It is carnage in the killfeed. So many teams have lost players, and Alliance is still a healthy three, and still with a chance to try and push up. They're into the top three now. 53 points. Can they overtake Trojan? Unlucky gets chunks. Backstrike has been a nightmare to deal with here. Effect gets the damage, and we're finally...
04:14:19 Oh, wir sehen uns wieder, die Late-Late-Alliance-Show, die wir so viele Mal schon gesehen haben. Top 3 jetzt. Sie sind 2nd. 2nd in den Overalls. Sie sind 6 Punkte shy von GO-NEXT. Das heißt, das ist noch nicht möglich. 1st Platz, plus Get-It-The-Kills. Allianz kann plötzlich, aus dem Niveau, nehmen diese Matchday einfach nur mit einem großen Spiel. Remember, wie sie starten? 6, 7, 8 Kills, als alle versucht, ihre Position zu nehmen.
04:14:47 And they denied everyone who chased them. The only downside here is Passion only have a solo left. So there's only four kills available plus points. Again, it's still doable, but they need all four. Look at FX damage. 2.7k damage. Passion will be eliminated. So it's a 3v3 here. 07 versus Alliance.
04:15:11 Wenn die Allianz gewinnen, dann gewinnen die Matchday. Es ist einfach als das. Sie haben die High-Ground gewonnen. Sie haben die Abilität. Sie haben die Castle Wall. Sie haben alles, was sie können, um zu gewinnen.
04:15:36 Und jetzt Unlucky sagt, dass die Dämpfe ist genug für uns zu bewegen. Da ist ein, da ist ein, da ist ein, da ist ein, da ist ein! Die Late Show von Allianz, wieder einmal! Sie haben sie die Wünnung, Nummer 6, und haben sie einfach genug gemacht, um sie zuerst in den Overalls zu nehmen. Es ist einfach genug. Ich denke, sie gewinnen bei drei Punkte in der Ende. Die drei Kills, die sie früher hatten, haben sie eine Chance bekommen.
04:15:59 Scraping into the top three, but then dominating their way into the top two and then getting first place. We asked the questions about Alliance. We said last week they looked a little bit rocky. They made a few mistakes. They seem to have found a few patches to those problems here today. And sure, we did see GoNext go out early. We saw Trojan and VCGO also take the fight and go out early as well. But Alliance just capitalized. And remember what happened in the early stages of this series. Alliance were jumped on by GoNext.
04:16:28 But they've just dropped a 31-point game to win this entire matchday. Momentum is a funny thing, right? I mean, you look at the first moments of that game. They win a fight. Zipline Mafia try and move in. They get dealt with. And then there's another team that comes down the corner. They get dealt with just because they are flowing, at that point, alliance. And from there, it's...
04:16:49 Das war ein tolles Spiel. Das war ein tolles Spiel.
04:17:17 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal.
04:17:38 Ich weiß, dass sie das. Sie wissen, dass sie das. Die ganze Lobby wissen.
04:18:07 Und dann, was Marc sagt, ihr habt ihr momentum, ihr habt ihr confidence.
04:18:33 Und wenn man confidence zu diesem Team zeigt, sie sind unstoppable. Aber es war auch eine perfekt Routet-Execution. Und du kannst jetzt sehen, in den overallen Standings, wie das für Allianz endet. Sie finden sich in 1st place nach 2-Series.
04:18:48 Remember how important that is, meaning that first place team is going to get their shot at champs. They will be qualified. First place in EMEA, first place in our regional finals. The big caveat is if a team like Alliance was qualified and then UAIM was a team that wasn't.
04:19:05 Because Alliance already have their place in championships, that would go to the next available slot who hadn't already qualified in a previous or other means. So UAM would be in a good spot there. Any team that can keep up this position. And, you know, I think, Mark, you brought up the conversation earlier today. So I kind of want to close it out with you in saying what you think. But to me, the thing I would add to it is that oftentimes I feel like we compare the rest of the LGS and many of the teams in it, probably 90%.
04:19:34 to the other teams in the ALGS. And with Alliance, with Falcons, with some of these teams that have just stood shoulders above the rest for so long, we kind of compare them to their previous selves. And in some ways, that is unfair because they are at a higher level and a higher standard so often than other teams. But in some ways, it's the only accurate way to measure a team that has had this much longstanding success.
04:19:56 Yeah, I mean, whenever you win a tournament, you're going to be measured by how many more tournaments you win, right? Because you've shown you have the capability to win the biggest tournaments. And I think for Alliance, I think today is a very interesting day. I think the last two weeks have been very interesting for them because you've seen there's been some mistakes made by them, but they're very clear mistakes. They're very rectifiable mistakes. And I think you've just seen the best and the worst of Alliance that you can expect. And it's about finding that middle ground for them now. That first few games of today, not good.
04:20:25 No, first three games a day, not great. That last game is how dangerous Alliance can be when things start to click, when, like you say, that momentum starts to get on their side. They are so, so dangerous. And also I want to give a shout out to Unlucky as well. I think he's one of the best Newcastles in the world. Like the amount of times that you see him using a queue and getting a mobile res off at just the right time or baiting a res to then go and engage himself. I think that he had a really, really solid last game as well.
04:20:49 Look at effect stats. He was at 2.7k damage when he stood on top of the rock and there were still people alive. Not many people in the world can do that.
04:20:55 I mean, kills, points, damage. Alliance took first place in all of those things. At the end, it was all Alliance. And the green and black will be happy about that one. But of course, when you take a look at who will be happy about their performance today, that leads us always to our kill leader board. Because that means that player has been dominant across not just the good, but the great, the best of the best. And it is so often that we see these two names above everyone else. Often together.
04:21:25 Und Unlucky. Aber Efecht ist auch in Far Away. 5-Above Unlucky. Und er hat den Kill-Leader Top-Spot für heute. Dann ist wirklich nur... Ich meine, das ist ein Mann, das ist ein Mann, das ist wirklich, wirklich, wirklich. Das ist ein Mann, das Konversation, wenn man sagt, das oder das, ihn oder sie, Panik oder Imperial Howl. Ich meine, du musst immer immer sagen, Efecht. Und du kannst nicht sagen, dass jemand jemanden übernehmen würde. Er ist das gut. Er ist das gut. Ich denke, was mehr beeindruckt ist...
04:21:54 Für mich, dieses Meta nerfs Effekt ein bisschen, weil er so gut mit diesen SMGs ist. Und obwohl wir ihn mit dem R99 heute gesehen haben, mit dem Re45 kommt, kann man sehen, auf der KILL-Leaderboard, dass der Peacekeeper macht. Und du musst es nutzen, und jetzt Effekt...
04:22:10 Still amazing with the PK, but everyone else is also pretty good with the Peacekeeper. And I feel like that skill gap closes a little bit with Effect and everyone can kind of catch him up. But when he does get to do stuff like this with the R99, when the R99 is the meta, when the SMGs are the meta, that's when Effect really shines. So the fact that he's still shining in a meta that arguably is a little bit easier for other people to catch up, that's even more impressive for me. And this Alliance roster is still disgustingly good.
04:22:38 Disgustingly consistent, and they will always continue to be one of the biggest threats in the world. And when they play this well, man, it just shows you that, of course, EMEA is not just a region rebuilding. They are a powerhouse, and it's just a matter of when they show up.
04:22:56 This is a showcase of our Sony in-zone kill leader. And of course, FX with 19 kills takes another top spot in another match day. Guys, it's been fantastic. Mark, Dan, Onset Gaskin, you guys are amazing. And I need you to get your rest because in just a little bit, we have got another show. North America is right around the corner and we all need a little bit of food, a little bit of rest and to get back at it and have some fun. So take care, guys. Great cast today and we'll be seeing you soon.
04:23:26 All right, guys, that is going to bring us to an end here. What an amazing day in EMEA. It kind of sets the stage for where we are with match day two and heading into match day three and really split two in general. As this region starts to rebuild, think about the things that they need to do to become champions yet again, where they hoisted that trophy a year ago in Sapporo. They've got to find ways to be more consistent than ever with performances like that in Alliance because they're not just going up against the best of EMEA. They're going up against the best of EMEA.
04:23:56 Das ist die Best-Of-The-Amerikas.
04:24:25 We will be back with some more Apex Legends Global Series right after the break. So do not go anywhere and we'll see you for North America.
